Scott Borgerson was born in 1978 in Essex, Maryland, a small town on the Chesapeake Bay. His father worked at the Bethlehem Steel plant in Sparrows Point until it shut down. His mother was a nurse at Franklin Square Hospital. Scott's story begins in a household where hard work was non-negotiable. "My dad put in long shifts at the mill, and my mom cared for people in the hospital. That shaped how I see work-show up, do your part, and do it right," he says.

When I took this job nearly a year ago, I had two priorities safety and service. As president of New York City Transit, I was going to do everything in my power to make the transit system safer, not only for our millions of daily riders, but also the tens of thousands of employees who keep this City moving. And I was going to do it while running the best possible service.

In a new essay, he calls this approach "pure fantasy thinking." The problem? Human hands are incredibly sophisticated, packed with about 17,000 specialized touch receptors that no robot comes close to matching. While machine learning transformed speech recognition and image processing, those breakthroughs built on decades of existing technology for capturing the right data. "We don't have such a tradition for touch data," Brooks points out.

The New York City subway is an experience unlike any other transit system in the world. It's an artery that keeps the city alive-moving millions of people daily through tunnels, platforms, and trains that carry as much culture as they do commuters. But seasoned New Yorkers know that with the subway comes a unique set of rules. Chief among them: never trust an empty car and always watch where you place your hands.

The Jacksonville Jaguars released Darnell Savage on Tuesday, one year after signing the veteran safety to a three-year contract in free agency. Savage started 13 games in 2024, but his playing time decreased this season because the Jaguars signed Eric Murray in free agency and veteran Andrew Wingard won the other starting safety spot. Savage was rotating with third-year player Antonio Johnson and rookie Rayuan Lane III as a backup.

If you were a US-dwelling American in the year 2025, there's a very good chance that you would also want to emigrate. But why Portugal specifically? Expatsi, a company that helps Americans move abroad, published the results of a test that matches users to various countries. And Portugal came out on top. Should I take the test? Not really.

"As we came round the bend we just saw this tree, literally falling in front of us. My instinct was that if I was to brake heavily I would hit the main parts of the tree, so in that split second I decided to accelerate. "I was doing maybe 45mph when we hit the tree," Mr Williams said, describing the weather as "damp, but not windy". "I couldn't see the tree or the branches, the windscreen shattered so badly. All I saw was a white light."

The first and most important step is finding a trustworthy online casino. With so many options out there, it can feel overwhelming but there are clear signs that show whether a platform is safe. Look out for: A proper licence from a recognised regulator. Clear information about rules, payouts and terms of use. Secure payment methods such as bank cards or trusted e-wallets. Reviews or feedback from other players that highlight the platform's reliability.

At some point, everyone has done a common activity incorrectly. Whether it's chores or hygiene habits, many of us simply accept what we do as the "norm."

If you've recently discovered that you've been doing a common activity incorrectly, feel free to tell us about it using this anonymous form!

If you have two appliances of similar sizes, such as a microwave and toaster oven, you can stack the smaller one on top of the larger one. This means that while they're taking up less counter space, you also don't have to constantly move them back and forth like you would if you stored one under the sink while not using it. They'll both be readily available, yet only take up half as much countertop space.

Horses are not just beautiful and intelligent creatures; they can be the subjects of some truly breathtaking photographs. And horse photography - which is all about capturing the grace and majesty of these animals - is intensely rewarding. Yet photographing horses can present certain challenges. Horses are free-spirited, plus they can be easily spooked. Add to that the technical expertise required to photograph a horse in action, such as racing or jumping, and you might start to feel more than a bit overwhelmed.

Spend the extra $25-$30 now; if your head ever hits the ground, you'll be glad you did. MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) adds a low-friction layer inside the helmet so your head can rotate slightly during an angled impact. That engineered slip helps reduce rotational stress on the brain-the kind that shows up in the real crashes most cyclists actually have. If my head ever meets asphalt again, I want MIPS between me and the ER.

Although it can be disconcerting to see a wild animal casually strolling through your neighborhood, bobcats don't usually pose a threat to humans. Known attacks on people have all been because the bobcat was threatened and protecting itself, or the cat had rabies, which now that I say it doesn't sound as reassuring as I hoped.

Outdated wiring poses safety risks and can limit a home's functionality as modern electrical needs evolve, emphasizing the importance of a thorough electrical inspection during a home purchase. Before purchasing a home, estimating potential electrical upgrade costs is essential, ranging from minor fixes to substantial service upgrades, ensuring a realistic budget and avoiding surprises. In renovations, an electrical plan guides contractors in assessing power needs, wire routing, and avoiding common mistakes like insufficient conductor sizing or poor junction box practices, preventing costly rework.
