Sparrowhawks are one of the most agile birds of prey in the UK. They evolved to nip, dive and swerve around trees to hunt in forests, and this means they’re also well-adapted to hunt amongst the buildings in our urban centres. I’ve seen them several times in my garden in urban Cambridge. Either perched on my fence, streaking across in a blur, or, on one memorable occasion, swiping a Starling from the bird feeder and plucking it on the ground.

In the paint color world, prediction season is in full swing as brand after brand announces its pick for Color of the Year 2024—and now Glidden paint by PPG has made its selection: Limitless, a warm, sunny neutral that conveys a sense of possibility and optimism. Of the Color of the Year 2024 picks we’ve seen so far, Glidden’s Limitless leans lighter than some other colors, but as a neutral it can be used in almost any setting, similarly to other 2024 predictions that function as neutrals, such as Behr’s Color of the Year 2024 color, Cracked Pepper.
Limitless by Glidden is a warm neutral tone that blends white, very light yellow, and nude.

Glidden color experts even recommend painting ceilings, geometric shapes, or interior doors: The possibilities (like the color’s name) are limitless.

“We are entering a new era of explosive creativity and change,” McCollum said in a press release announcing the color. “Consumers are using color in even more unconventional ways than ever before and they need a palette that offers versatility to work with both new and existing decor. Limitless understands the assignment and embodies this perfectly.”
Glidden color stylists call the color a “boujee beige” and see it as an opportunity for customers to get more creative with their home decor style.

The Book Jar
Brain loves books. It loves libraries, it loves bookshops, and it likes looking through other people’s bookshelves. Sometimes it seems as though it likes having books more than it does reading them. Certainly, that’s what the ever-growing Unread ShelfPile (there’s a shelf, and it overflows onto the floor and then some) seems to be saying.

The Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters building
Just over a year ago, when we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing, I talked about the lack of diversity in space and mentioned Mary Jackson. In 2016, the movie Hidden Figures shared the stories of Mary Jackson and two other Black female mathematicians – Katherine Johnson and, Dorothy Vaughan. They worked at NASA when a ‘computer’ still meant a person carrying out mathematical calculations. The film is based on a book by Margot Lee Shetterly, which I am reading at the moment. The book offers a more detailed and accurate account of the prejudice these women (and others) had to overcome.
