I gave birth to my first child — a daughter — in New York City in April of 2020, just after the start of the pandemic. Related stories"Roan" was the perfect choice for my first child — Roan Mountain held such a special place in my heart, and I knew that one day, it would hold a special place in her heart, too. AdvertisementHowever, despite our decision being the right one for our family, my husband and I started to find ourselves grieving our pre-kid, city life. Without a doubt, the Hudson River Valley quickly became one of our homes-away-from-home — another special place in our book of life. It was perfect, and when we were surprised with a second daughter, it fit her well.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In the first few minutes on the phone with The Associated Press, Chappell Roan shared a revealing fact about herself. Born and raised in Missouri, Roan left the state for Hollywood not long after being discovered on YouTube by Atlantic Records. Roan, like Rodrigo, has a knack for candor in theatrical, cheeky pop songwriting — even when the truth is embarrassing — emphasized by her vocal range. ROAN: It's evolving constantly, but more recently it’s been more of a drag project, especially now that I’m (on) tour. I'm really uncomfortable by sex scenes in movies, or when people flirt with me.

Henriette Borgund knows attackers can find weaknesses in the defences of a big renewables power company - she's found them herself. She joined Norway's Hydro (NHY.OL) as an "ethical hacker" last April, bringing years of experience in military cyberdefence to bear at a time of war in Europe and chaos in energy markets. They're nervously monitoring a hybrid war where physical energy infrastructure has already been targeted, from the Nord Stream gas pipelines to the Kakhovka dam. It said Russia had tried to destroy digital networks and cause power cuts, and that missile attacks on facilities were often accompanied by cyberattacks. "Companies in the energy space, their core business is producing energy, not cybersecurity," said Jalal Bouhdada, CEO of cybersecurity firm Applied Risk, a division of DNV.

☆ SpaceX Starship’s explosion is not the failure it appears to be, experts say
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-22 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

CNN —Rocket launches are like opening a box of chocolates, only riskier — you never know what you’re going to get. When a rocket is set to leap off the launchpad, there’s a good chance of seeing a stunning liftoff or a spectacular failure. The lead-up to this week’s launch of SpaceX’s Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, was a dramatic roller coaster. The rocket blasted off from the launchpad in South Texas and roared 24.2 miles (39 kilometers) over the Gulf of Mexico. Now, researchers have a new theory about why the Vikings abruptly departed in the mid-15th century: rising sea levels.

☆ Execs at Bank of America, Deloitte, and Pfizer say good governance makes meeting environmental and social goals possible

Companies that want to meet their environmental and social goals need strong governance to do it. Good governance can help companies narrow the gap between their ESG goals and their performance. Improving governance measures can help companies close the gaps between their stated goals around environmental, social, and governance performance and what they're accomplishing, said Jennifer Steinmann, global sustainability and climate practice leader at Deloitte. Caroline Roan, chief sustainability officer at Pfizer, said good governance does more than show whether a company is abiding by its commitments. "That would really help organizations."
