Been Alpha, and now Closed Beta testing an new MMO, Palia. (https://www.palia.com/). It's a "casual" MMO more around crafting and community building than the typical "Murder Hobo" dynamic. If it sounds interesting, check it out. If you do sign up, use my link (below) because I can get some cool in-game stuff if you do and you'll get an in-game fruit basket when it goes open Beta.
Who was Rabindranath Tagore and why is his work and teaching still so influential today?
From the archives, a special programme celebrating the life and work of the Nobel-prize winning poet, musician, and reformer who died in August 1941. Listen on BBC Sounds https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b012wckp
Die Unis heften sich die Erfolge ihrer Mitarbeiterinnen bei der Einwerbung von renommierten Projektgeldern zwar gerne auf die Fahnen, doch sind sie nach Auslaufen eines Projekts nur selten bereit, die federführenden Wissenschafterinnen aus eigenem Budget weiter zu beschäftigen. Sobald die Drittmittel aufgebraucht sind, endet typischerweise auch der Dienstvertrag.
I don't generally like KickStarter, because sometimes the people don't ever follow up again after they get the $$. But I'm trusting the Pratchett Estate and @neilhimself and @ColleenDoran on this one. It just started today 8/1 It's almost 2pm EDT and it's already reached it's £25K goal! Congratulations y'all!!
Colleen's previous adaptations of Neil's work have been works of art, and won a lot of well-deserved awards, so I'm really looking forward to this one.
(NB: this adapts the book, not the TV show; related, but not identical.)
There's an early-bird tier available only today, so I recommend giving it a look now…
