Did you know sharks love the taste of the Internet?
In 1987 The New York Times reported that sharks “have shown an inexplicable taste for the new fiber-optic cables that are being strung along the ocean floor linking the United States, Europe, and Japan.", and it is still an issue today.
Under the bottom of the Earth's oceans are almost 932,057 miles of submarine fiber optic cables which are the foundation of the entire global internet.

Also known as Latinx Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage Month is also referred to as Latinx Heritage Month.
Although Latino and Hispanic are frequently used interchangeably, they have different meanings. To keep it simple, Latino refers to people from countries in Latin America, and Hispanic refers to those from Spanish-speaking countries. As a result, there is more than one interpretation regarding what Hispanic Heritage Month honors. According to the name, it is a month dedicated to celebrating Spanish-speaking people. To make the month more inclusive, there has recently been a drive to rebrand it. By renaming it Latinx Heritage Month, the celebrations would focus on Latinx and Hispanic contributions.
