I know, I know, last day of summer. Very sad. But the good news is we get to see all this beautiful foliage soon! What makes those leaves look the way the do anyway? The vibrant reds and oranges, the colorful browns and yellows. It’s actually from how much sugar is in the leaves. That’s why maple leaves are usually that bright colorful shade of red, because of all the sugar.
Happy leaf peeping!

It’s always exciting when someone hits the triple threat of breaking world records, helping others, and creating a buzz on the internet. That’s exactly what the people at SpartanNash, a grocery chain in Michigan, did recently.
They were holding a food drive at their stores to collect packaged food items for people in need. They managed to get close to 6,000 donated food items which they then creatively spelled out their name with. A massive 150 foot wide “SpartanNash” could be seen from high above. The photo (which you can see here) has now gone viral.
They have since donated all the food to a food bank in Grand Rapids.

You’ve probably sent multiple emails today already where you’ve CC’d or BCC’d someone. BCC being the sneakiest of office tricks where you basically send it to others without the the person on the other end knowing. But why those letters?
CC stands for “carbon copy” and BCC is “blind carbon copy,” These terms come from back when they would use actual carbon paper make copies of documents by pressing ink onto an additional sheet of paper underneath. You could also make the “Blind carbon copies” which would hide the fact you made a copy from the original recipient. Just like emails!
