The sun sets on the British Empire in India in 1947, as the Asian nation becomes the world’s largest democracy. Independence is the culmination of decades of work by Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Indian nationalists committed to throwing off the yoke of British colonialism. The transition to independence comes at a price. The subcontinent is partitioned into two nations, Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan. Violence erupts between Hindus and Muslims as Hindus migrate to India and Muslims shift to Pakistan. It is estimated that 1 million people die during the migration.

Electric scooters have spread to several European capitals, where they are sparking the same complaints heard on this side of the Atlantic. The mayor of Paris condemned the scooters as causing “not far from anarchy” on the city’s roads, and residents of Berlin have complained of drunk riders and at least one instance of a man trying to access a high-speed motorway on his e-scooter.

“It was about ten degrees in February the day myself and my buddy, Daniel Scmidt (helped during the entire build) headed 3 hours to St. Louis, Missouri to pick up this 2006 YZ125. Overall it was a pretty clean bike and we got right to work. It was completely disassembled within a few hours. Then the fun part of removing every single bearing including the dreaded steering stem race. We tore the engine apart, mostly for inspection and found the rod on the governor shaft was broken. Everything else was in great shape. The clutch basket and plates only had a few hours on them as well as the piston, but we decided to swap the piston out for a brand new one.

Dolly the Sheep enters the annals of bioengineering when scientists at Scotland’s Roslin Institute become the first to not only successfully clone a mammal, but also the first to do so using an adult cell rather than an embryonic one. After 277 so-called cell fusions that created 29 embryos, the teams managed to turn an udder cell into a nearly complete biological carbon copy of the sheep from which it came.
