Happy 107th Birthday to Richard Feynman (May 11, 1918 – Feb 15, 1988), winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, one of the greatest physicists and teachers of all time.

Interesting tidbits:
When Feynman was 15, he taught himself trigonometry, advanced algebra, infinite series, analytic geometry, and differential and integral calculus.

Feynman applied to Columbia Univ in 1935 but was rejected because of its limited quota for Jews. So, he attended MIT.

Peskov said Russia might agree to a ceasefire if Ukraine's allies stop supplying weapons to Ukraine.

Obviously, Russia is not going to stop receiving supplies from North Korea in that case. They will not stop their military production and recruiting new soldiers.

Russia is playing for time and lying - nothing new here.
