TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Pay Day for U.S. Women’s Soccer

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Pay Day for U.S. Women’s Soccer

After fighting for equal pay for a very long time the U.S. Women’s soccer team reached a milestone moment today. U.S. Soccer announced that men’s and women’s national teams will now receive equal pay. A truly historic moment. The big piece of the deal, which runs through 2028, is the prize money during the World Cup. Teams get paid bonus based on how far the advance in the tournament. The Men’s national team always received a high bonus rate. They will be equal now.

To be honest the women’s team has kind of been much better than the men as of late… maybe the women should even get more pay! Ha ha

All joking aside, this is a great moment for the future of women’s sports.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What’s the difference between Brown Sugar and White Sugar?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What’s the difference between Brown Sugar and White Sugar?

If you do a lot of cooking or baking you’ve probably had this thought cross your mind a few times. What makes brown sugar difference from white sugar?

Sure they taste different, but the only real difference is that for brown sugar they put a little bit of the molasses that is removed back in during the refining process. Giving it the taste and brownish look.

Now you know!

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Connecticut students get on stage at Billboard Music Awards thanks to Diddy

One of my bucket list items is to attend an award show. Which would be awesome to do, never mind actually being ON STAGE at an award show.

That’s what students from the Capital Preparatory School in Bridgeport got to do last Sunday night at the Billboard Music Awards. Sean “Diddy” Combs who was hosting the BMAs in Vegas brought up students from Capital Prep’s three campus in Harlem, The Bronx, and Bridgeport just before he brought out Ed Sheeran. Diddy said it was important to him to give back to the community where he grew up in New York. What a fun way to give back too! Congrats to these kids.

What a moment.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where did they come up with the name for “Bluetooth”?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where did they come up with the name for “Bluetooth”?

You probably use it every single day. To pair your phone, speaker, laptop, headphones. Bluetooth is such a big part of our lives now. But where did the name come from?

It all goes back to the 10th century when King Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson was well known for uniting different parts of Denmark. Hence the reason it’s use to talk about “uniting” devices together nowadays with technology. He got the nickname “Bluetooth” came about because he had a dead tooth which was a blue/grey color.

Crazy!
