Video Summary

The race is on in the Canadian federal election, with odds favoring Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party to win. Online betting site Bodog has updated its odds, with Trudeau at minus 150, meaning a $1 bet would net $67 cents if he wins. His opponent, Mr. Shearer, is a long shot at 15/1, followed by two other contenders, Elizabeth May and Maxime Bernier, at 250/1 each. In the US, Elizabeth Warren is the odds-on favorite to be the Democratic nominee, but the site still thinks Donald Trump will win the election in 13 months.

The new moons are small, often just a few kilometers across, and were hiding in plain sight. This adds to the ongoing effort to explore and study our solar system.

Finally, it seems that “kissing up to the boss” may not be the best strategy after all. Research at Oregon State University found that trying to curry favor with management can lead to a false sense of security, causing individuals to behave negatively towards coworkers and neglect their duties. It's better to be honest and focus on tasks rather than trying to impress the boss.
