- National Nurses Day is observed annually on May 6th. On this day, we raise awareness of all nurse contributions and commitments and acknowledge the vital role nurses play in society. This day is also the first day of National Nurses Week and is sometimes known as National RN Recognition Day.
- Revising Harmful Tweets. Twitter has another experiment in the works. It’s not and edit button, but Twitter is testing a way to let you revise replies you might later regret. The company on Tuesday said it’s running a limited test on Apple devices that will show people a prompt if their reply to a tweet uses language that may be considered offensive. Twitter tweeted on its support account: “When things get heated, you may say things you don’t mean. To let you rethink a reply, we’re running a limited experiment on iOS with a prompt that gives you the option to revise your reply before it’s published if it uses language that could be harmful.”
- Strange signals. Strange signals detected by a telescope in Australia were not signals from outer space. Instead, the signals were emissions escaping from a microwave in the telescope site’s kitchen.
- Traveling Tickets are Tremendous. As the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc on the travel industry, some companies are offering smoking deals in an attempt to lure back customers. • Among the airlines that have slashed prices is Frontier, which is charging just $11 for the following trips: Austin to Denver; Denver to Las Vegas; Dallas to Las Vegas; and Charlotte to Philadelphia. Frontier is also offering a $39 flight from Orlando to Philadelphia; $49 tickets from Orlando to Chicago; and a $59 flight from Orlando to Milwaukee. It's also added a "more room" seat option -- an extra $39 guarantees a passenger will be placed next to an empty seat. • Also dropping prices is Carnival Cruise Line, which is offering tickets for as low as $59 per day once it resumes operations on August 1st. It's also lowered deposits to $50 per person. The budget cruises will be available from three ports: Galveston, Miami and Port Canaveral, the company has announced.

- Don’t throw slowly. You’re throwing a ball for a toddler to smack with a plastic bat. You toss it gently, slowly, to make it easier. He just can’t hit it. A study says that’s because you throw too slowly — and kids’ brains aren’t wired for slow motion. Researchers say slow balls actually appear stationary to a child. Add a little speed to the pitch and the child is able to judge its speed more accurately.
- "aggressive chicken". Residents beware - police are on the lookout for an "aggressive chicken" that's been terrorizing bank customers in the town of Walker, Louisiana.

The suspect is described as 18 inches tall, weighing 6-8 pounds with a reddish-tan complexion. Police say the bird is wanted for "assault, attempted battery, attempted burglary, terrorizing and ignoring an order of the Governor."
