Posted: Thu 5:31 AM, Aug 15, 2019 &nbsp|&nbsp Updated: Thu 7:02 AM, Aug 15, 2019 ANCHORAGE (KTUU) – Many tourists are spending time in Alaska this summer for what some – such as Andrew Hooper and Josh Bastyr – consider the “experience of a lifetime.” While touring the area new Spencer Glacier this week, that’s exactly what those two got, escaping a calving glacier without any injuries and catching the whole thing on camera. “We just mulling around, checking it out,” Bastyr said. “And then we started hearing the big shotgun sound, water splashing, the calving, just to the side of us.” A calm kayaking excursion quickly turned terrifying for the two tourists, with a large section of the glacier crumbling into the water before their eyes and sending waves of water toward their kayaks. “It’s a good warning for everybody,” said DNR Park Specialist Annie Grenier, “just to give it some space.” While capturing such a sight on camera isn’t a

How To Understand Bitcoin If You’re Over 40 – Forbes

Those of us over 40 have an advantage when studying the “crypto revolution”: We’ve seen this story before. And that means, we know how it ends … and how to profit from it. Photo Credit: Getty Getty I’m 43 years old, and the global head of research for a specialist crypto asset manager. According to a recent survey, that makes me just one year older than the average crypto investor . But in my experience, the age gap is bigger. Like it or not, young people just have an easier time connecting with crypto. For example: When I told my 12-year-old daughter that I was leaving my career in ETFs to focus on crypto last year, she shrugged and said, “Digital money, huh? Cool.”  My father-in-law’s take was different: “Isn’t that only used by criminals?” The challenge, mainly, lies with the way crypto-natives talk about the space. They throw around buzzwords like “ consensus algorithms ” and “ decentralization ,” and then tell us that these are the reasons “ crypto will ob

Behind the scenes with Le’Veon Bell: Handshakes, locker room rapping – ESPN

Image
2:00 AM ET Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer Close Longtime Jets beat writer for New York Daily News Syracuse University graduate FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets’ locker room was nearly empty, with only a handful of players lingering after a long day at training camp. It was relatively quiet in the room, as players rested their fatigued bodies. Then someone cranked up music from a speaker, and the show started. Le’Veon Bell and Josh Bellamy , both of whom moonlight as rap artists, started freestyling to the pulsating beat. Their teammates loved the impromptu performance, amazed by their spontaneous creativity. This was a side to Bell the public doesn’t see. The fans know him as a gifted running back who sat out an entire season in a contract dispute, but there’s more to him than being just That Guy. Teammates and coaches describe him as an attentive student of the game and a fun-loving dude who brings energy to the locker room with basketball-shooting contests,

Bernie Sanders wants to be Cardi B ’s favorite president. Last month, we learned that the 77-year-old Vermont senator met with the 26-year-old Bronx rapper in a Detroit, Michigan nail salon to talk about the issues central to his 2020 presidential campaign. The video of their exchange is finally here. Sanders at a nail salon with Cardi B is inherently funny. The pair were clearly in on the joke, as seen in a behind-the-scenes clip the Sanders campaign posted on Instagram. But the two talked through serious issues like police brutality, student debt, wages, taxes, and jobs. They admired Cardi’s nails and gabbed about her favorite president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whom Sanders incidentally cites as an inspirational figure in his campaign for the White House. “Well, I want to be your favorite after I’m elected,” Sanders also told her. He’s well on his way in her book. In April, Cardi said, “I’ma always go with Bernie,” in a video with Teen Vogue . Sitting across from Sanders
