Debi Ryan insists that bad days are few and far between in her line of work as a school-based speech language pathologist. The good days, she says, are abundant thanks in great part to her ongoing enthusiasm for and belief in the power of communication in the lives of children and adults.

The sudden appearance of the Huns in Europe during the late 4th century CE sent shockwaves through the continent. Within a few decades, they built an empire that stretched from the Eurasian steppe to the heart of Central Europe, reshaping political landscapes and leaving an imprint on European history.

This may look like a weather map, but what it shows isnt your usual kind of atmospheric interference. The red hexagons denote areas affected by GPS jamming in the preceding 24 hours. GPS jamming, which disables the positioning system of electronic devices, including those used to locate aircraft, can be anything from inconvenient to deadly.
