One girl's simple love of Papa John's pizza gets her into Yale Posted: 02 Jun 2017 10:37 AM PDT College essays may seem super daunting, but for this young woman, having some fun with it totally payed off.  Caroline Williams of Brentwood, Tennessee, found out in March that she was accepted into Yale University. This alone would be amazing news for just about anyone, but what made it even more amazing was when Caroline found out exactly why she was accepted.  Weeks later, the university's admissions team sent Caroline notes detailing how much they enjoyed her unique and relatable essay on her love of ordering Papa John's pizza.  I just want @PapaJohns to know that I wrote a college essay about how much I love to order their pizza and it got me into Yale  pic.twitter.com/lDlzEErHCn — Carolina Williams (@justcarolina22) May 9, 2017 The 200-words-or-less prompt asked Caroline to write about what she loves to do. While there's no doubt other applicants wrote about their extracurricular activities in the arts or athletics, Caroline took a different approach. "...[O]ne thing I love to do is order pizza and have it delievered to my house," she wrote. "When the delivery person rings my doorbell, I instantly morph into one of Pavlov's dogs, salivating to the sound that signals the arrival of the cheesy, circular glory. It smells like celebration, as I love to rejoice a happy occasion by calling Papa John's for my favorite food." And admissions found it refreshing and hilarious.  "As a fellow lover of pizza, I laughed out loud (then ordered pizza) after reading your application. Yale would be lucky to have you," one member of admissions wrote. SEE ALSO: A teen wrote #BlackLivesMatter on a college application 100 times — and got accepted As excited as she was to receive this news, Caroline will not be attending the Ivy League university come fall. She has instead decided to go to Auburn University, because of the location, school spirit, and of course the Papa John's that's probably in the student center.  Her passion for pizza is truly inspiring.  WATCH: One restaurant is using robots to make pizza

NASA’s Hubble captures ‘vermin’ galaxy being super annoying Posted: 02 Jun 2017 03:43 PM PDT Usually, when astronomers, skywatchers, and space researchers are able to catch a glimpse of something in space it's cause for celebration — after all, the images are often jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and with plenty of scientific implications, too. But when it comes to the galaxy hiding behind a star called HD 107146, scientists are just kind of annoyed that it even exists to begin with. In the image above, HD 107146 is the big blob in the center of the shot, circled in green. The massive mess of yellow, orange, and red dots surrounding it is the mix of various debris stuck in orbit around the star. NASA likens the disc to our Solar System's own collection of asteroids in the Kuiper Belt. It's an exciting place in the cosmos because of how much the star shares with our own sun, but there's a problem: that big bright patch of nonsense in the lower right corner. That glowing half-egg-shaped thing is actually a distant galaxy, called the "Vermin Galaxy." It's much, much farther away than HD 107146, and it's beginning to pass behind the star's debris disk. This event, called transit, will finally wrap up by 2020, at which point researchers will be able to use the light from the galaxy — passing through the debris disk of the star — to make observations and draw conclusions about the content of the debris itself. However, until that happens, only a limited amount of research can be done. Perhaps that's why, as NASA notes, some astronomers are "annoyed at its presence," and have given it a nickname to reflect that.

Colossal crack in Antartica ice shelf about to drop state-sized iceberg into the ocean Posted: 02 Jun 2017 02:13 PM PDT With President Donald Trump announcing that the United States won't be joining a huge number of its allies in supporting the Paris Agreement on climate change rules just a day ago, an extremely troubling development in Antarctica is helping to underscore just how bad of a decision that really was. A crack in the Larsen C ice shelf on the frigid continent has grown rapidly in the past week, and a complete break is expected imminently. When that happens, a chunk of ice as large as the state of Delaware will be released into the ocean, creating one of the world's largest icebergs ever. The crack, which is currently roughly 120 miles long, has grown by several miles in just the past week, and is now just eight miles from being complete. Researchers are pointing to the accelerated break — called "calving" — as a further sign that human-caused climate change is currently at a tipping point from which we may not be able to recover. The shelf's calving, as troubling as it is on its own, is (unfortunately) just part of a bigger picture. Scientists believe that, once the shelf does make its way freely into the ocean, the event could further destabilize the rest of the glacier, leading to increased break-ups in the immediate future. "When it calves, the Larsen C Ice Shelf will lose more than 10% of its area to leave the ice front at its most retreated position ever recorded," Professor Adrian Luckman of Swansea University College of Science said of the calving. "This event will fundamentally change the landscape of the Antarctic Peninsula."

Varadkar becomes Irish PM-in-waiting in social, generational shift Posted: 02 Jun 2017 11:01 AM PDT By Padraic Halpin and Conor Humphries DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland's governing Fine Gael party elected Leo Varadkar as its new leader on Friday, choosing the gay, 38-year-old son of an Indian immigrant to succeed Enda Kenny as prime minister in a striking sign of the country's rapid social change.

Iraqi Shi'ite paramilitaries take Baaj town west of Mosul from Islamic State: army Posted: 04 Jun 2017 06:50 AM PDT By Maher Chmaytelli BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Shi'ite paramilitaries have captured the Iraqi town of Baaj from Islamic State, further shrinking the northern region under jihadist control as part of a U.S.-backed campaign to retake the city of Mosul, the Iraqi military said on Sunday. Eight months into the Mosul offensive, Islamic State (IS) militants have been dislodged from all of the city except an enclave along the western bank of the Tigris river. IS's grip on the Iraqi side of the northern region along the border with Syria, a desert area where Iraqi and U.S. sources believe IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is hiding, has been ebbing as forces fighting on the side of Iraq's government have advanced.

Trump urges end to political correctness in wake of London attack Posted: 04 Jun 2017 07:15 AM PDT By David Morgan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday urged the world to stop being "politically correct" in order to ensure security, after three attackers drove a van into pedestrians and stabbed revelers in London, killing seven. "We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people," Trump wrote on Sunday morning. "If we don't get smart it will only get worse." He continued: "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'"
