Orangutan parents look after their children for around nine years, longer than any other primate except humans. In this Sir David Attenborough-narrated clip from episode ten of the ten-part BBC series Life, a 42-year-old orangutan mother teaches her 6-year-old daughter how to forage high in the rainforest canopy of Sumatra in Indonesia.

"It will take years of learning for the youngster to gain enough knowledge of her treetop home before she, too, can pass on the knowledge to her children one day."

Their daily activities include understanding which insects to eat, which ones have nests that are safe to raid, and how to tell when fruits are ripe. It's also essential for orangutan children to learn which tree branches will hold their weight, and how to build overnight treetop nests or leaf umbrellas for a bit of shelter in their ecosystem's daily inclimate weather.

Readers who long imagined themselves in Harry Potter's world have a chance to immerse themselves in another fictional universe created by J.K. Rowling. The author said Tuesday that she would release " The Ickabog," a new story for young readers, for free online.

In an announcement on her website, Rowling said she had started working on the book more than a decade ago, while she was still writing Harry Potter, and originally intended to publish it after she finished the last book in the beloved series. But she ended up keeping "The Ickabog," which isn't related to Harry Potter or any of Rowling's other work, in her family, reading it to her young children and then putting it away in her attic until recently.

She decided to release "The Ickabog" now, she wrote on Twitter, "so children on lockdown, or even those back at school during these strange, unsettling times, can read it or have it read to them." Rowling said she would donate her royalties for the book to causes related to the coronavirus pandemic.

You searched for wolves | The Kid Should See This

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NICOLET, Quebec - I'm sitting in an outdoor pen with four puppies chewing my fingers, biting my hat and hair, peeing all over me in their excitement.

At eight weeks old, they are two feet from nose to tail and must weigh seven or eight pounds. They growl and snap over possession of a much-chewed piece of deer skin. They lick my face like I'm a long-lost friend, or a newfound toy. They are just like dogs, but not quite. They are wolves.

When they are full-grown at around 100 pounds, their jaws will be strong enough to crack moose bones. But because these wolves have been around humans since they were blind, deaf and unable to stand, they will still allow people to be near them, to do veterinary exams, to scratch them behind the ears - if all goes well.

Yet even the humans who raised them must take precautions. If one of the people who has bottle-fed and mothered the wolves practically since birth is injured or feels sick, she won't enter their pen to prevent a predatory reaction. No one will run to make one of these wolves chase him for fun. No one will pretend to chase the wolf. Every experienced wolf caretaker will stay alert. Because if there's one thing all wolf and dog specialists I've talked to over the years agree on, it is this: No matter how you raise a wolf, you can't turn it into a dog.

As close as wolf and dog are - some scientists classify them as the same species - there are differences. Physically, wolves' jaws are more powerful. They breed only once a year, not twice, as dogs do. And behaviorally, wolf handlers say, their predatory instincts are easily triggered compared to those of dogs. They are more independent and possessive of food or other items. Much research suggests they take more care of their young. And they never get close to that Labrador retriever "I-love-all-humans" level of friendliness. As much as popular dog trainers and pet food makers promote the inner wolf in our dogs, they are not the same.

The scientific consensus is that dogs evolved from some kind of extinct wolf 15,000 or more years ago. Most researchers now think that it wasn't a case of snatching a pup from a den, but of some wolves spending more time around people to feed on the hunters' leftovers. Gradually some of these wolves became less afraid of people, and they could get closer and eat more and have more puppies, which carried whatever DNA made the wolves less fearful. That repeated itself generation after generation until the wolves evolved to be, in nonscientific terms, friendly. Those were the first dogs.

People must spend 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for weeks on end with wolf puppies just to assure them that humans are tolerable. Dog puppies will quickly attach to any human within reach. Even street dogs that have had some contact with people at the right time may still be friendly.

Despite all the similarities, something is deeply different in dog genes, or in how and when those genes become active, and scientists are trying to determine exactly what it is.

There are clues.

Some recent research has suggested that dog friendliness may be the result of something similar to Williams syndrome, a genetic disorder in humans that causes hyper-sociability, among other symptoms. People with the syndrome seem friendly to everyone, without the usual limits.

Another idea being studied is whether a delay in development during a critical socializing period in a dog's early life could make the difference. That delay might be discovered in the DNA, more likely in the sections that control when and how strongly genes become active, rather than in the genes themselves.

This is research at its very beginning, a long shot in some ways. But this past spring and summer, two scientists traveled to Quebec to monitor the development of six wolf pups, do behavior tests and take genetic samples. I followed them.

I visited other captive wolves as well, young and adult, to get a glimpse of how a research project begins - and, I confess, to get a chance to play with wolf puppies.

I wanted to have some firsthand experience of the animals I write about, to look wolves in the eye, so to speak. But only metaphorically. As I was emphatically told in a training session before going into an enclosure with adult wolves, the one thing you definitely do not do is look them in the eye.

Sleeping With Wolves

Zoo Académie is a combination zoo and training facility here on the southern bank of the St. Lawrence River, about two hours from Montreal. Jacinthe Bouchard, the owner, has trained domestic and wild animals, including wolves, all over the world.

This past spring she bred two litters of wolf pups from two female wolves and one male she had already at the zoo. Both mothers gave birth in the same den around the same time at the beginning of June. Then unusually bad flooding of the St. Lawrence threatened the den, so Ms. Bouchard had to remove them at about seven days old instead of the usual two weeks.

Then began the arduous process of socializing the pups. Ms. Bouchard and her assistant stayed day and night with the animals for the first few weeks, gradually decreasing the time spent with them after that.

On June 30, Kathryn Lord and Elinor Karlsson showed up with several colleagues, including Diane Genereux, a research scientist in Dr. Karlsson's lab who would do most of the hands-on genetics work.

Dr. Lord is part of Dr. Karlsson's team, which splits time between the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester and the Broad Institute in Cambridge. Their work combines behavior and genetic studies of wolf and dog pups.

An evolutionary biologist, Dr. Lord is an old hand at wolf mothering. She has hand-raised five litters.

"You have to be with them 24/7. That means sleeping with them, feeding them every four hours on the bottle, " Dr. Lord said.

Also, as Ms. Bouchard noted, "we don't shower" in the early days, to let the pups get a clear sense of who they are smelling.

That's very important, because both wolves and dogs go through a critical period as puppies when they explore the world and learn who their friends and family are.

With wolves, that time is thought to start at about two weeks, when the wolves are deaf and blind. Scent is everything.

In dogs, it starts at about four weeks, when they can see, smell and hear. Dr. Lord thinks this shift in development, allowing dogs to use all their senses, might be key to their greater ability to connect with human beings.

Perhaps with more senses in action, they are more able to generalize from tolerating individual humans with a specific scent to tolerating humans in general with a scent, sight and sound profile.

When the critical period ends, wolves, and to a lesser extent dogs, experience something like the onset of stranger anxiety in human babies, when people outside of the family suddenly become scary.

The odds of being able to pin down genetically the shift in this crucial stage are still long, but both Dr. Lord and Dr. Karlsson think the idea is worth pursuing, as did the Broad Institute. It provided a small grant from a program designed to support scientists who take leaps into the unknown - what you might call what-if research.

There are two questions the scientists want to explore. One, said Dr. Karlsson: "How did a wolf that was living in the forest become a dog that was living in our homes?"

The other is whether fear and sociability in dogs are related to the same emotions and behaviors in humans. If so, learning about dogs could provide insights to some human conditions in which social interaction is affected, like autism, or Williams syndrome, or schizophrenia.

The pups at Zoo Académie were only three weeks old when the group of researchers arrived. I showed up the next morning and walked into a room strewn with mattresses, researchers and puppies.

The humans were still groggy from a night with little sleep. Pups at that age wake up every few hours to whine and paw any warm body within reach.

Wolf mothers prompt their pups to urinate and defecate by licking their abdomens. The human handlers massaged the pups for the same reason, but often the urination was unpredictable, so the main subject of conversation when I arrived was wolf pup pee. How much, on whom, from which puppy.

As soon as I walked in, I was handed a puppy to cradle and bottle-feed. The puppy was like a furry larva, persistent, single-minded, with an absolute intensity of purpose.

Even with fur, teeth and claws, the pups were still hungry and helpless, and I couldn't help but remember holding my own children when they took a bottle. I suspect that tiger kittens and the young of wolverines are equally irresistible. It's a mammal thing.

The first part of Dr. Lord's testing was to confirm her observations that the critical period for wolves starts and ends earlier than that for dogs.

She set up a procedure for testing the pups by exposing them to something they could not possibly have encountered before - a jiggly buzzing contraption of bird-scare rods, a tripod and a baby's mobile.

Each week she tested one pup, so that no pup got used to it. She would put the puppy in a small arena, with low barriers for walls and with the mobile turned on. She would hide, to avoid distracting the puppy. Video cameras recorded the action, showing how the pups stumbled and later walked around the strange object, or shied away from it, or went right up to sniff it.

At three weeks, the pups had been barely able to get around and were still sleeping almost every minute they weren't nursing. By eight weeks, when I returned to have them gambol all over me, they were rambunctious and fully capable of exploration.

The researchers won't publicize the results until observers who never saw the puppies view and analyze the videos. But Dr. Lord said that wolf experts considered eight-week-old wolf puppies past the critical period. They were so friendly to me and others because they had been successfully socialized already.

Before and after the test, she collected urine, to measure levels of a hormone called cortisol, which rises during times of stress. If the pup in the video would not approach the jiggly monster and cortisol levels were high, that would indicate that the pup had begun to experience a level of fear of new things that could stop exploration. That would confirm the timing of the critical period.

She and Dr. Karlsson and others from the lab also collected saliva for DNA testing. They planned to use a new technique called ATAC-seq that uses an enzyme to mark active genes. Then when the wolf DNA is fed into one of the advanced machines that map genomes, only the active genes would be on the map.

Dr. Genereux, who was isolating and then reading DNA, said she thought it was "a long shot" that they would find what they wanted. She and the other researchers plan to refine their techniques to ask the questions successfully.

When They Grow Up

And what are socialized wolves like when they grow up, once the mysterious genetic machinery of the dog and wolf direct them on their separate ways?

I also visited Wolf Park, in Battle Ground, Ind., a 65-acre zoo and research facility where Dana Drenzek, the manager, and Pat Goodmann, the senior animal curator, took me around and introduced me not only to puppies they were socializing, but to some adult wolves.

In the 1970s, Ms. Goodmann worked with Erich Klinghammer, the founder of Wolf Park, to develop the 24/7 model for socializing wolf puppies, exposing them to humans and then also to other wolves, so they could relate to their own kind but accept the presence and attentions of humans, even intrusive ones like veterinarians.

The sprawling outdoor baby pen was filled with cots and hammocks for the volunteers, since the wolves were now nine and 11 weeks old and living outdoors all the time. There were plastic and plywood hiding places for the wolves and plenty of toys. It looked like a toddlers' playground, except for the remnants of their meals - the odd deer clavicle or shin bone, and other assorted ribs, legs and shoulder bones, sometimes with skin and meat still attached.

The puppies were extremely friendly with the volunteers they knew, and mildly friendly with me. The adult wolves I met were also courteous, but remote. Two older males, Wotan and Wolfgang, each licked me once and walked away. Timber, the mother of some of the pups, and tiny at 50 pounds, also investigated me and then retired to a platform nearby.

Only Renki, an older wolf who had suffered from bone cancer and now got around on three legs, let me scratch his head for a while. None was bothered by my presence. None was more than mildly interested. None seemed to realize or care about my own intense desire to see the wolves, be near them, learn about them, touch them.

I saw how powerfully a visit with wolves could affect how you feel about the animals. I wanted to come back and help raise pups, and keep visiting so that I could say an adult wolf knew me in some way.

But I also wondered whether it was right to keep wolves in this setting. In the wild, they travel large distances and kill their food. These wolves were all bred in captivity and that was never a possibility for them.

But was I simply indulging a fantasy of getting close to nature? Was this in the same category as wanting a selfie with a captive tiger? What was best for the wolves themselves?

I asked Ms. Goodmann about it. She said that park operated on the idea that getting to know the park's wolves, which had never been deprived of an earlier life in the wild, would make visitors care more for wild wolves, for conservation, for preserving a life for wild carnivores that they could never be part of.

And she noted that Wolf Park operates as a combination zoo and research station. Students and others from around the world compete to work as interns, helping with everything from raising puppies to emptying the fly traps.

This is the rationale for all zoos, and it was a strong argument. Then she made it stronger. She pointed out that one of the interns, Doug Smith, worked on the reintroduction of wild wolves to Yellowstone National Park.

Dr. Smith has had a major role in the Wolf Restoration Project from the very beginning in 1995 and has been project leader since 1997. I reached him one morning at his office at park headquarters and asked him about his time as an intern at Wolf Park.

"I hand-reared four wolf pups, sleeping with them on a mattress for six weeks," he said. "It had a profound effect. It was the first wolf job I ever got in my life. It turned into my career."

From there he went on to study wild wolves on Isle Royale in Michigan, and then to work with L. David Mech, a pioneering wolf biologist who is senior scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey and an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota. Eventually, he went to Yellowstone to work on restoring wolves to the park.

He said ethical questions about keeping wild animals in captivity are difficult, even when every effort is made to enrich their lives. But places like Wolf Park provide great value, he said, if they can get people "to think about the plight of wolves across the world, and do something about it."

In today's environment, "with conservation on the run, nature on the run, you need them," he added.

Then he said what all wolf specialists say: That even though wolf pups look like dogs, they are not, that keeping a wolf or a wolf-dog hybrid as a pet is a terrible idea.

"If you want a wolf," he said, "get a dog."

So researchers at the Wolf Science Center at the University of Vienna decided to compare the performance of wolves and dogs on a classic behavioral test.

When Sarah Marshall-Pescini, Friederike Range and colleagues put wolves and dogs to the test, wolves did very well and dogs very poorly. In recordings of the experiments, the pairs of wolves look like experts, while the dogs seem, well, adorable and confused.

The researchers reported their findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

With no training, five of seven wolf pairs succeeded in mastering the task at least once. Only one of eight dog pairs did.

But defining tolerance, which is supposed to aid cooperation, is tricky.

"Wolves argue a lot around food," she said. "But in the end they eat together." As for dogs, she said, "They don't even argue about it." An earlier study of free-ranging dogs, she said, showed that the dominant dog ate first and other dogs waited.

Add a "the kids are cooking" night to the meal plan for the week and everyone wins. Not only is it fun for your kids to get their hands dirty and cook up something for dinner, but it also gives you a break for the evening. These 10 recipes are easy and tasty crowd-pleasers, so everyone at the table will definitely approve.

Bake a few extra potatoes the night before to make this comforting dinner extra easy to assemble for your kids. All they need to do is top that potato with marinara sauce and an egg, and slide it into the oven for a few minutes.

Starting with a bag of precooked meatballs means these kebabs are super simple. If you'd rather not have your kids standing over the grill outside, they can also be cooked on a grill pan or baked in the oven.

Let the kids choose their favorite vegetables to roast for this satisfying meatless meal that turns a tub of hummus into dinner.

Dust off that panini press so your kids can make themselves a seriously good hot sandwich for dinner. If you don't have a panini press, this can also be made on the stovetop in a skillet, like a normal grilled cheese.

These cheesy pizza sticks start with store-bought dough so they come together quickly - just don't forget the marinara sauce for dipping. Plus, leftovers pack up great for the kids' lunch boxes the next day.

This wholesome salad is far from boring, thanks to strips of crispy chicken tenders and a sweet and tangy honey mustard dressing. Using frozen breaded chicken tenders means the kids are one step closer to making dinner without too many steps.

Canned salmon is the secret to making this no-cook meal possible - keep a couple cans in your pantry and the kids can make these wraps anytime they want.

Yes, these tacos really do take 10 minutes to make. That's because they lean on store-bought conveniences like canned beans, bagged cabbage slaw, and jarred salsa.

While elbow macaroni works great in this recipe, any of your kids' favorite pasta shapes will do. The kids can even make this on the weekend, when there is more time, and reach for it throughout the week since it holds up so well in the fridge.

A little bit of curry powder makes this egg salad different from all the rest, yet still approachable for kids. Piling it on store-bought naan makes it a bit more fun than your average sandwich.

Second opinion

I absolutely love hearing your point of view! I started a youth volleyball program in our area and the information, opinions, and tools you have given me more confidence in myself as a first time coach but long time player. Our area never had a youth program until now. I played in junior high, high school, college, and club ball and I still didn't feel prepared to be on the other side of the game coaching. Thank you!

First year coach

I'm enjoying this podcast greatly. Helping me ease myself into the game. Thanks for all you do!

Thanks

I'm going to be volleyball manger next year and I want helpful so I want to learn some tips for my team and this really did help!! Thanks!

(upbeat music) - Hi, my name is Limor Fried, and I'm an engineer here at Adafruit Industries, and this is where I do engineering and design, and I design circuits for fashion and music and technology. - My name is Federico Gomez Suarez, and I'm a software developer with Microsoft Hack for Good, and I look into using technology to help solve some of the big social problems of our times. (upbeat music) - You may have heard that computers work on ones and zeroes, or you may have seen scary-looking visuals like this. But almost nobody today actually deals directly with these ones and zeroes, but ones and zeroes do play a big role in how computers work on the inside. - Inside a computer are electric wires and circuits and carry all the information in a computer. How do you store or represent information using electricity? - Well, if you have a single wire with electricity flowing through it, the signal can either be on or off. That's not a lot of choices, but it's a really important start. With one wire, we can represent a "yes" or a "no," true or false, a one or a zero, or anything else with only two options. This on/off state of a single wire is called a bit, and it's the smallest piece of information the computer can store. If you use more wires, you get more bits. More ones and zeroes with more bits, you can represent more complex information. But to understand that, we need to learn about something called the binary number system. (calm music) - In the decimal number system, we have 10 digits from zero to nine, and that's how we've all learned to count. In the binary number system, we only have two digits, zero and one. With these two digits, we can count up to any number. Here's how this works. In the decimal number system we're all used to, each position in a number has a different value. There's the one position, the 10 position, the 100 position, and so on. For example, a nine in the 100 position is a 900. In binary, each position also carries a value, but instead of multiplying by 10 each time, you multiply by two. So there's the one's position, the two's position, four's position, the eight's position, and so on. For example, the number nine in binary is 1001. To calculate the value, we add one times eight, plus zero times four, plus zero times two, plus one times one. Almost nobody does this math because computer do it for us. What's important is that any number can be represented with only ones and zeroes, or by a bunch of wires that are on or off. The more wires you use, the larger the numbers you can store. With eight wires, you can store numbers between zero and 255. That's eight ones. With just 32 wires, you can store all the way from zero to over four billion. Using the binary number system, you can represent any number you like. But what about other types of information, like text, images, or sound? It turns out that all these things can also be represented with numbers. (upbeat music) Think of all the letters in the alphabet. You could assign a number to each letter. "A" could be "1," "B" could be "2," and so on. You can then represent any word or paragraph as a sequence of numbers, and as we saw, these numbers can be stored as on or off electrical signals. Every word you see on every webpage or your phone is represented using a system like this. (upbeat music) Now, let's consider photos, videos, and all the graphics you see on a screen. All of these images are made out of teeny dots called pixels, and each pixel has color. Each of the colors can be represented with numbers. When you consider that a typical image has millions of these pixels, and a typical video shows 30 images per second, now, we're taking about a lot of data here. (upbeat music) - Every sound is basically a series of vibrations in the ear. Vibrations can be represented graphically as a waveform. Any point on this waveform can be represented by a number. And this way, any sound can be broken down into a series of numbers. If you want higher-quality sound, you will pick 32-bit audio over 8-bit audio. More bits means a higher range of numbers. - When you use a computer to write code or make your own app, you're not dealing directly with these ones and zeroes, but you will be dealing with images, or sound, or video. So, if you want to understand how computers work on the inside, it all comes down to these simple ones and zeroes and the electrical signals in the circuits behind them. They are the backbone of how all computers input, store, process, and output information. (upbeat music)

Myths and Facts: Myth: Harriet Tubman rescued 300 people in 19 trips.
According to Tubman's own words, and extensive documentation on her rescue missions, we know that Fact: she rescued about 70 people - family and friends - during approximately 13 trips to Maryland. During public and private meetings during 1858 and 1859, Tubman repeatedly told people that she had rescued 50 to 60 people in 8 or 9 trips. This was before her very last mission, in December 1860, when she brought away 7 people. Sarah Bradford exaggerated the numbers in her 1868 biography. Bradford never said that Tubman gave her those numbers, but rather, Bradford estimated that was the number. Other friends who were close to Tubman specifically contradicted those numbers. We can name practically every person Tubman helped. In addition to the family and friends, Tubman also gave instruction to another 70 or so freedom seekers from the Eastern Shore who found their way to freedom on their own.
Myth: Harriet Tubman was born around 1820 in Bucktown, Dorchester County, Maryland on the farm of Edward Brodess.
According to the most recent research and oral traditions, Tubman was Fact: born in early 1822 on the plantation of Anthony Thompson, Brodess's stepfather, located south of Madison in an area called Peter's Neck in Dorchester County. Tubman was later brought to Bucktown, with her mother and siblings, to live on Brodess's small farm.

Myth:Harriet Tubman had a $40,000 "dead or alive" bounty on her head.

The only reward for Tubman's capture is in the October 3, 1849 advertisement for the return of "Minty" and her brothers "Ben" and "Harry," in which their mistress, Eliza Brodess, offered Fact: $100 for each of them if caught outside of Maryland. Slaveholders on the Eastern Shore of Maryland had no idea it was Harriet Tubman (or, Minty Ross, as they knew her) who was helping and inspiring people to run away. The $40,000 bounty figure was made up by Sallie Holley, a former anti-slavery activist in New York, who wrote a letter to a newspaper in 1867, arguing for support for Tubman in her pursuit of back pay and pension from the Union Army. To put this in perspective, the US government offered $50,000 for the capture of John Wilkes Booth, who murdered President Lincoln in 1865. $40,000 is equivalent to several million today, and for that, she would have been captured, and every newspaper in the nation would have posted that advertisement.

Tubman returned Fact: only to Maryland to bring away loved ones - family and friends she could not live without and whom she could trust. It was too dangerous for her to go places where she did not know people or the landscape.

Fact Jacob Jackson, a free black farmer and veterinarian, was Harriet Tubman's confidante. Tubman had a coded letter written for her in Philadelphia and sent to Jackson in December 1854, instructing him to tell her brothers that she was coming to rescue them and that they needed to be ready to "step aboard" the "Ol'Ship of Zion." There is no documentation that he actually sheltered runaways in his home. Jackson would be referred to as an agent.

Harriet Tubman Fact: did not help build the canal, which was built between 1810 and 1830 when she was still a child. She probably used it to transport timber and agricultural products when she worked in the area as a young adult during the late 1830s and early 1840s. We do not know if her father Ben Ross helped build the canal, but he certainly would have used it for transporting timber.

: Harriet Tubman never used the quilt code because the quilt code is a Fact myth. Tubman used various methods and paths to escape slavery and to go back and rescue others. She relied on trustworthy people, black and white, who hid her, told her which way to go, and told her who else she could trust. She used disguises; she walked, rode horses and wagons; sailed on boats; and rode on real trains. She used certain songs to indicate danger or safety. She used letters, written for her by someone else, to trusted individuals like Jacob Jackson, and she used direct communication with people. She bribed people. She followed rivers that snaked northward. She used the stars and other natural phenomenon to lead her north. She also trusted her instincts and faith in God to guide and comfort her during difficult and unfamiliar territory and times.

Myth: Harriet Tubman carried a rifle on her UGRR rescue missions

Harriet Tubman carried a small Fact: pistol with her on her rescue missions, mostly for protection from slave catchers, but also to encourage weak-hearted runaways from turning back and risking the safety of the rest of the group. Tubman carried a sharp-shooters rifle during the Civil War.

Myth: Harriet Tubman sang 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,' and 'Wade in the Water' and 'Follow the Drinking Gourd' as signals on the UGRR.

Tubman sang two songs while operating her rescue missions. Both are listed in Sarah Bradford's biography Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman: Fact: 'Go Down Moses,' and, 'Bound For the Promised Land.' Tubman said she changed the tempo of the songs to indicate whether it was safe to come out or not. Follow the Drinking Gourd was first written and performed by the Weavers, a white folk group, in 1947, nearly 100 years after Tubman's days on the UGRR. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot was written and composed after the Civil War by a Cherokee Indian living in Oklahoma and therefore would have unknown to Tubman before the Civil War.

"I had reasoned this out in my mind; there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty, or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other; for no man should take me alive; I should fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted, and when the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me." Harriet Tubman to Sarah Bradford in Harriet, The Moses of Her People 1886

"...there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land; and my home, after all, was down in Maryland, because my father, my mother, my brothers, and sisters, and friends were there. But I was free, and they should be free." Harriet Tubman to Sarah Bradford in Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman, 1868

"Slavery is the next thing to hell." Harriet Tubman to Benjamin Drew, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, 1855

" I grew up like a neglected weed, - ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it. Then I was not happy or contented." Harriet Tubman to Benjamin Drew, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, 1855

"..and I prayed to God to make me strong and able to fight, and that's what I've always prayed for ever since." Tubman to Ednah Dow Cheney, SC, 1865

"God's time [Emancipation] is always nea r. He set the North Star in the heavens; He gave me th e strength in my limbs; He meant I should be free." Harriet Tubman to Ednah Dow Cheney, New York City, circa 1859.

Abraham Lincoln once wrote sparingly of this day:

"I was born on February 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky."

Two hundred years later, Lincoln is remembered as a great president whose life was marked by America's war with itself, and whose death came just as peace was at hand.

"Six hundred thousand Americans had died in the Civil War," says James Swanson, who has written two books about Lincoln's death. "That war was finally coming to an end. Lincoln had freed the slaves. He had ended secession. There would be no more dying. And Lincoln was filled with joy."

To follow the story of Lincoln's assassination, NPR's Renee Montagne accompanied Swanson to Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. In the spring of 1865, the city was celebrating the coming end to a long and bloody war.

"Cannons, fireworks, torches, parades, people getting drunk in the streets, children running around carrying little flags: 'Victory is ours,' 'Richmond has fallen,' " says Swanson of the celebration. "Amidst all this joy, there was one man in Washington who was not happy at all, and that was the famous actor John Wilkes Booth."

Booth was a Confederate sympathizer who had plotted with others to kidnap Lincoln - a plot that had come to nothing.

But on the morning of April 14, 1865, when Booth was reading his mail on the front steps of Ford's Theatre around noon, he heard the president was coming to the play that night, Swanson says. "That's the moment he decided to kill Lincoln."
'Sic Semper Tyrannis'
Just hours later, the actors came on stage to perform the comedy Our American Cousin.

President Lincoln and his wife were late to the show. Swanson tells the story from there:

"And [Lincoln] came up these stairs with his guests. When he arrived, the audience finally realized the president was here, and so the orchestra broke into a performance of "Hail To The Chief," and the actress suspended the play and made a tribute to Lincoln. And it's up this very same route that Booth came. With full view of the stage, full view of the performance, the sound of the theater, the laughter - and then Booth stopped.

" If his box had been guarded properly, he could have said, 'I'm John Wilkes Booth - I want to greet the president,' just the way a famous actor today might be able to greet the president at an important public event.

"One of the great mysteries of the assassination story and the whole Civil War is, why didn't Lincoln have proper guards? Lincoln was a fatalist. He thought, 'If someone wants to kill me, nothing can stop them.' After he was shot, over 100 death threats were found in a cubbyhole in his desk - he knew he was a target.

"Booth waited in a dark space in the president's booth, listening to the dialogue from the play. He waited until one actor was left on the stage - Harry Hawk - who was about to say a funny line that was going to make the whole audience erupt in laughter, which Booth hopes will muffle the sound of the shot.

"Booth has, in his left hand, his bowie knife. In his right hand, he clutches the derringer pistol. He hears that line, and he levels his right hand and almost touches the back of Lincoln's head with the derringer pistol, and fires.

"Everything froze. And that smoke from the black powder weapon filled the box, and the box took on a very devilish red color because of the artificial lights and the gas lamps and the smoke, which was voluminous from the black powder weapon. Then, one of Lincoln's two theater guests, Maj. [Henry] Rathbone, an Army officer, realized that was a gunshot. He rose up to grapple with Booth, and as soon as Rathbone looked up, he could see that knife coming down to kill him. Rathbone got his arm up just in time to parry the blow but endured a deep cut.

"Booth sat on that balustrade; he swung one leg over, then the other; he jumped to the stage - about an 11-foot drop - then Booth ran to center stage. This was his final and greatest performance on the American stage. So he raised his bloody dagger in the air and cried out the state motto of Virginia, 'Sic semper tyrannis - thus always to tyrants.' And then he cried out, 'The South is avenged!' And just as he exited from the stage, he was heard distinctly to say: 'I have done it!' And then he vanished into the wings."
'The Final Refutation Of Their Hopes'
With Booth leading what would turn out to be a long chase into the countryside, President Lincoln was carried to the street, where a huge crowd had quickly collected.

"So, they're carrying the president in the middle of the street - he's dying - thousands of people are standing here, and they don't know what to do with the president of the United States who has just been shot through the head," Swanson says. "Then, across the street, at the Petersen Boarding House, a man came out the front door holding a lamp and said, 'Bring him in here.'

"The bed was too short, and his legs reached over the end of the bed. The doctor said, 'Break the footboard off so the president can lie in the bed.' It wouldn't come off, so the president had to be laid diagonally across what became the deathbed."

Abraham Lincoln died at 7:22 the next morning.

"A little while later, soldiers rounded the corner carrying something, and that's when the thousands of people standing on the street maintaining the death vigil let out a wail," Swanson says. "Because that was the final refutation of their hopes. When they saw that box - it wasn't even a proper coffin; it was an ammunition crate or a rifle case - they carried that box up the stairs, they wrapped Lincoln's body in the American flag, and then lowered him into the coffin. And witnesses say the only thing you could hear in that death room was the squeaking of the screws being tightened."

Swanson says Booth had several motives to kill Lincoln, including avenging the South, to inspire the Confederates to keep on fighting, and to win fame and glory for himself, which is why 12 days later, when he was wounded and trapped by soldiers in a barn, he walked into gunfire to his death.

It's true: the narration sounds a bit like a 1960s instructional video. But! Look! It's a gyroscope! They're so fascinating that they give this video a lot of force and momentum. How do we use gyroscopes?

Applications of gyroscopes include inertial navigation systems where magnetic compasses would not work (as in the Hubble telescope) or would not be precise enough (as in intercontinental ballistic missiles), or for the stabilization of flying vehicles like radio-controlled helicopters or unmanned aerial vehicles, and recreational boats and commercial ships. Due to their precision, gyroscopes are also used in gyrotheodolites to maintain direction in tunnel mining. Gyroscopes can be used to construct gyrocompasses, which complement or replace magnetic compasses (in ships, aircraft and spacecraft, vehicles in general), to assist in stability (Hubble Space Telescope, bicycles, motorcycles, and ships) or be used as part of an inertial guidance system...

In addition to being used in compasses, aircraft, computer pointing devices, etc., gyroscopes have been introduced into consumer electronics. Since the gyroscope allows the calculation of orientation and rotation, designers have incorporated them into modern technology. The integration of the gyroscope has allowed for more accurate recognition of movement within a 3D space than the previous lone accelerometer within a number of smartphones. Gyroscopes in consumer electronics are frequently combined with accelerometers (acceleration sensors) for more robust direction- and motion-sensing.

There's more spinning in the archives.
