"Nobody chooses their skin color, so why would I ever hate you for yours? And why would you ever hate me for mine?" Chris Singleton, a former baseball player for the Chicago Cubs and inspirational speaker, will speak at Campbellsville University's chapel service Oct. 14 at 10amET/9amCT. Singleton's mother, Sharonda Coleman Singleton, was murdered along with eight other victims at Mother Emanuel AME church in downtown Charleston, S.C. in 2015 by a white male who wanted to start a race-related war in the United States.

In the late 1800s, Amos Dolbear counted cricket chirps and formulated a way to estimate the ambient temperature within a degree or so based on the frequency of the chirps. It is thought that he based his research on the snowy tree cricket.
Dolbear's math was a little more complicated, but according to The Old Farmer's Almanac, you can "count the number of chirps in 14 seconds, then add 40 to get the temperature" in Fahrenheit. Comments | Permalink Older Photos
