A prehistoric water-filled cave in the Dominican Republic has become a “treasure trove” with the announcement by Indiana University archaeologists of the discovery of stone tools, a small primate skull in remarkable condition, and the claws, jawbone and other bones of several species of sloths.
The discoveries extend by thousands of years the scope of investigations led Charles Beeker, director of Academic Diving and Underwater Science Programs at IU Bloomington’s School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, and his interdisciplinary team of collaborators. The researchers’ focus has been on the era a mere 500 years ago when the Old World and New World first met after Christopher Columbus stepped ashore in the Caribbean and on scintillating pirate lore.

The Washington state Legislature closed its legislative session Monday after a session unlike any other. The enormity last year’s events demanded a robust response from Washington’s lawmakers, who worked hard to step up to the plate despite the difficult circumstances under which they were required to work.
One issue loomed over everything the state’s lawmakers did the global coronavirus pandemic. Washington was the site of the first recorded U.S. cases of the disease, and the pandemic’s effects on Washingtonians have been severe.

The value of a generator became quickly apparent to every resident in Texas as the Arctic winds descended southward. Jessica Keller and her husband have been running Grasten Generators in Houston for 12 years, and business has been doing extremely well, building nicely, a lot of orders on the books for January. “In January we tripled our numbers from last January, and we were having a pretty great month. And then the storm hit.”
They had generators to live and work off of, she says, and used that ability to help everyone they could, whether they were clients or had bought their generators elsewhere.Keller says one of their greatest services was to answer their phones, which were ringing non-stop with desperate Houstonians. They had full staff making service calls as quickly as they could everywhere they could.

Toledo Geller
As the coronavirus pandemic raged in early spring, Next Wave designers Virginia Toledo and Jessica Geller of Toledo Geller, like many of us, were left feeling helpless. And, with many of their design projects put on hold as shutdowns and travel bans were enacted, the duo found themselves with some extra time on their hands. So, they decided to put their talents to good use. We were seeing all these first responders, and we wanted to do something to help, says Toledo. And we thought, well, the only thing we re really good at is design. So how can we use that to give back?
