Members of the Wendy’s Rewards program had one hour today to claim one of twenty specially decorated Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III cameras through the brand’s app. The giveaway closed out a four-week run of limited merchandise drops that started back in mid-May and handed out everything from totes to jerseys in tiny quantities that vanished almost as soon as each window opened.
Summer travel season brings crowded planes, trains, and walkways in Italy, France, and Spain. The same crowds that create unforgettable experiences at tourist attractions and markets also allow quick-handed thieves to target distracted visitors. A typical daypack exposes wallets, phones, passports, and cameras in ways that professional pickpockets use every day. The Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Backpack, priced at $49 (was $104), addresses this issue with practical barriers.
Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 captured a stunning composite image of galaxy M88, which shows a massive spiral system twisted at an angle, stretching its appearance and displaying an orderly set of arms looping inward with exceptional symmetry. Pink knots represent the formation of new stars, blue clusters outline younger stellar populations, and darker red lanes highlight the disk’s dust. The galaxy’s nucleus is surrounded by older stars that emit a warm light.
Plans for the Freedom Ship call for a vessel stretching one mile in length, wider than many city blocks, and tall enough to carry 30 decks. The goal is to create a self-contained community of up to 80,000 people that roams the oceans without ever needing a home port. A team led by Freedom Cruise Line International CEO Roger Gooch has taken up the concept after earlier attempts stalled. Gooch works with a 12-person leadership group and has brought in the architectural firm Schopfer Associates to refine the design.
