The Turtle Conservancy is rescuing reptiles, while preserving their precious DNA. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Nestled in rural New Jersey's rolling hills, a top secret animal sanctuary is keeping its occupants safe. The oasis is not for the official state animal (the horse) or even birds rescued from the Jersey shore. This hidden refuge belongs to turtles and tortoises.

Kurt Knutsson talks about a soft, vine-like robot called Sprout that aids safe survivor rescues in collapsed buildings. A Parisian restaurant once promised a pizza experience unlike any other. Order your pizza and, within five minutes, a robot would craft your pie from scratch, no human hands required. This was the vision of Pazzi Robotics, a French startup that merged advanced automation with Italian culinary tradition. For a time, the company seemed poised to redefine how people view pizza.

A decade after its widespread adoption, it's safe to say that U.S. schools utterly failed to acclimate our students to social media and to anticipate the profound damage it could do. The result of widespread social media use among students (said the U.S. surgeon general in a recent advisory) is increased anxiety, stress, and depression. As a school technology specialist working with a population of middle- and high-schoolers, I see firsthand parents' desperation when I host standing-room-only sessions about social media and mental health. With the swift emergence of A.I., educators have an opportunity to do better. This summer, K–12 schools must get to work drafting academic policies governing the use of A.I. and facilitating professional development for teachers about the new technology.

Cohn points to the game's 1.5 patch in February as the beginning of this resurgence, an update that not only brought PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S versions up to performance standards of the current generation, but introduced a host of changes that restructured the game, how it unfolds and how its setting, Night City, feels. The game at launch encouraged unbalanced builds, but by adding and removing certain abilities while rebalancing how weapons are used, CD Projekt Red made building a character of special abilities feel consequential and engaging. Traffic and pedestrian behavior was fixed to bring Night City's bustle up to standards of other open-world games.

Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines are here. Check out what clicked this week in entertainment. "Wheel of Fortune" fans think a contestant on Monday's episode deserves a second chance after the show seemingly misspelled the name of rapper Yung Joc. It's rare that a show as well-known for its use of the written word as "Wheel of Fortune" would contain a gaffe as simple as a spelling error. However, that's exactly what many fans believe happened Monday when constant Kennise Miller was competing in the Bonus Round puzzle.

Artificial intelligence generated writing and similar tools are offering journalists a second chance to reconnect with the public and up-their-game, according to Charlie Becket. The researcher is director of the Media Policy Project, sponsored by the London School of Economics and Political Science. "AI in its broadest sense provides all sorts of opportunities for journalism – and journalism needs all the help it can get right now," Beckett says. The reason: "A few years ago, a couple of companies said they would be able to replace journalists within a few years, Van der Lee, says. It's a boast that turned out to be untrue. Instead, AI systems like Van der Lee's – which can generate short sports stories, which detail results of thousands of local soccer matches on a regular basis – are all about doing rote work. That frees-up journalists to write more complex, more insightful news stories and features, according to Van der Lee. "Robots will never write as well as people," Van der Lee says. It's an AI editor that works in popular Web browsers. The new feature on the AI editing tool can offer suggestions to create a writing tone that is neutral, confident, joyful, optimistic, friendly, urgent, analytical or respectful. Currently, Grammarly's tone analysis is available for Google Chrome users only. The toolmaker's plan in coming months is to roll-out the feature to Firefox, Safari and other popular browsers. It's a step-by-step guide on how to get started using AI-generated writing for public relations, marketing and similar endeavors in content generation. "Today, instead of three-to-five hours, reports take us 10 minutes to write," Moehring says. "The reports are delivered on the first business day of the month.

The robot you know only as a lowly cleaner may also be an expert firefighter. A robot that clumsily fumbles an object may still have life-saving skills. Baxter, a robotic deli operator, was used in preliminary research about how humans perceive robot competence. "If people are going to work together with robots, they're going to form judgments, and they're going to base decisions on those judgments," said Ross Knepper, assistant professor in Computing and Information Science. "If the collaborations are going to be efficient, people need to have accurate estimates of robots' competence."

Can you feel it in the air? The heat is starting to falter. The wind is coming in stronger. Starbucks is about to start selling Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Fall is almost here, and with it come all the biggest video game releases of the year.

Uber is confirming that one of its self-driving vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian in the Phoenix metro area Sunday night. Company officials say Uber is halting all of its self-driving testing as of Monday as the investigation continues. A handout photo from Uber shows one of its Volvo self-driving SUVs in a desert setting. One of the company's vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Ariz., Sunday night. PHOENIX -- The operator behind the wheel of a self-driving Uber vehicle that hit and killed a 49-year-old woman in Tempe Sunday night had served almost four years in an Arizona prison in the early 2000s on an attempted armed robbery conviction.

Your definition of windfall may vary, but there's little argument that $10,000 is a healthy chunk of cash -- certainly enough to give you cold feet when deciding how to invest it. The good news is there are a lot of options: That amount is more than enough to meet most online broker minimums. We've slimmed things down to five of the best ways to invest $10,000. Feel free to mix and match; there's no rule that says you have to throw it all into one pot.
