In 1977, Morgan Perigo’s gold college graduation ring was lost to the ocean while on a trip to Barbados with his wife and two young sons. Perigo, who graduated from McMaster University in Canada in 1965, searched for the ring in vain.”One day I took my younger son and waded into the ocean. He was knocked over by a wave, so I reached to grab hold of him. He pulled on my hand and my Mac Alumni ring came off,” Perigo, now 83, said in an email to the university. “We searched for it but were unsuccessful.”Forty-seven years later, Perigo…

The first-ever sighting of starlight from a galaxy hosting one of the most distant quasars known has revealed an astronomical oddity. Quasars — blazingly bright galactic cores — owe their brilliance to the intense heat that results as gas whirls around a big black hole. The black hole powering a quasar 13 billion light-years from Earth is half as massive as all the stars around it — a record high ratio for a quasar host galaxy, astronomers report in a paper submitted October 14 to arXiv.org. input[type=”radio”].svelte-wecxzz{display:none}.payment-option-wrapper.svelte-wecxzz.svelte-wecxzz{display:flex;flex:1 0 28%;width:100%}.payment-option-wrapper.svelte-wecxzz.svelte-wecxzz:only-child{max-width:325px}.box-container.svelte-wecxzz.svelte-wecxzz{display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex:1 1 0;width:0;text-align:center}.inner-box.svelte-wecxzz.svelte-wecxzz{border:var(–zf-payment-options-border);border-radius:var(–zf-payment-options-borderRadius);background-color:var(–zf-payment-options-bgColor);height:100%;display:flex;flex-direction:column}.box-container.highlighted.svelte-wecxzz .inner-box.svelte-wecxzz{border-top-left-radius:0;border-top-right-radius:0}.box-container.svelte-wecxzz .box-content.svelte-wecxzz{flex-grow:1;padding:30px 20px;margin:0 10px;overflow:hidden}.box-container.svelte-wecxzz .styled-box-content.svelte-wecxzz{color:var(–zephr-color-text-main);font-family:var(–zf-root-fontFamily)} .box-container .styled-box-content h1, .box-container…

Vice President Harris’s strategy of riding on a surge of female support ultimately fell flat, with hints that Election Day could see a historic gender gap failing to materialize. White women sided with Trump for the third straight cycle, and the former president also made inroads with Latina voters and young women. Trump improved on his 2020 margins with Latina women by eight points, according to Edison Research. And among young women, Trump improved by 11 points compared to last cycle, according to NBC News exit polling. While Haris won women, Trump’s gains with the voting bloc have Democrats…

On the other side was the vice president herself. “I’m just here to remind you, you got this, because you can do something your opponent…
