In an age where you can essentially look up anything on the internet, the New York Public Library is helping people find answers to their questions the old-fashioned way: books.Deep inside one of the largest libraries in the world, beyond the glitz of its famous reading rooms, sits a man who helps answer a variety questions from visitors. On this particular day, one visitor wants to know who Dr. Seuss’ favorite character from his book is.Bernard van Maarseveen is like a human search engine, often referred to as "the human Google." Instead of scouring the internet for answers, he descends into the depths of the libraries research stacks, looking for a needle in a haystack of 53 million books. Van Maarseveen, assistant manager of the “Ask New York Public Library” program, gets calls and emails on infinite subject matter, usually from people who fall into a few categories. "Mostly, it's those who can’t look things up in Google, so it would be, tends to be, seniors,” he says. “Sometimes students doing a class assignment, sometimes people for whatever reason don't have internet connection.” He says scanning the shelves, knowing he might make someone's day, is one of the best parts of his job.As for the answer to a visitor’s Dr. Seuss question, van Maarseveen finds a book with the answer: Lorax. 1322

Inside the Cocoa Beach, Florida restaurant Bacon and Blues, the music playing may be the blues, but the people are trying to remain upbeat and prepared. "Luckily, we have hurricane shutters; we've made a lot of ice," says owner Darci Kropp. She doesn't plan to close just yet. "We're kind of winging it,” Kropp says. "As long as we have employees here to work, we will work."Labor Day is usually a big day for business for this eatery. In fact, Kropp says this day last year was one of their best days. However, this year, Hurricane Dorian's threat is impacting business in this coastal beach town."It's a ghost town around here," Kropp describes. For the most part, only locals like Ken Holmes are still in Cocoa Beach. Depending on the forecast, even Holmes may leave to go to Tampa, but he is still holding on to hope. "We've never had a direct hit,” he says. “We've had a lot of close calls.”Kropp doesn't know what the storm will do to her restaurant in the coming days."We're just going to see how we make it and what's damaged," she says. "If we have power, how we hold up."Until then, the music and coffee will flow as long as it can. 1154

It’s the foundation of American democracy: voting.Depending on where you are in the U.S., though, your election experience could look very different from that in your neighboring state or even just your neighbor.“It really does depend on where you are in the country,” said Marian Schneider, who heads up Verified Voting, a non-profit, non-partisan group that advocates for better election security.In particular, the group takes a closer look at when it comes to the use of computers in elections.“We use computers in every aspect of election administration in this country,” Schneider said. “We have also historically underfunded our elections and not put the money into them that we need in order to run a computerized operation.”So, what might voters encounter on election day? There are a few possibilities.- A paper ballot, where a voter uses a pen or paper to mark their choices and that paper is then scanned and counted by a computer.- A computerized device, where a voter presses a touchscreen to mark an electronic ballot, which then prints out a paper version that is scanned and counted.- And there are paperless electronic machines, which have a completely computerized ballot, with no paper trail.It is the last one, Schneider said, which raises big concerns because they are the most vulnerable to hacking. “First of all, they make it difficult to discover if something has gone wrong,” she said. “And then, even if you are able to discover it, you can't recover from it.”It can’t be recovered because there is no paper trail to serve as a backup. It’s a type of ballot currently used in all elections held in Louisiana, as well as some jurisdictions in nearly a dozen other states: Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Tennessee. Some of those are now in the process of phasing out the paperless devices, but upgrading election security is costly.“What you just saw most recently is bipartisan agreement to fund elections at the state level, so Congress just agreed to provide 5 million, in addition to 5 million they allocated in 2018,” said Liz Howard, with the Brennan Center for Justice. “So, we’re getting close to billion from the federal government to improve election security across the country."While states continue grapple with the cost of replacing vulnerable and aging voting machines, Schneider said voters still need to do their part.“There's only one surefire way to make sure your vote is not counted,” she said, “and that's if you don't show up at the polls.” 2590

If you’ve been saving old items in hopes they’ll one day be worth something one day, there are things you need to know when collecting.Fifty-Two 80’s: A Totally Awesome Shop in Denver knows a lot about collectibles. From action figures, plush toys and sitcom memorabilia, the store transports customers back into another decade.A majority of kids who grew up in the 80s had most of these toys, and some are worth a small fortune today.“Star Wars is always going to be a good one; it's always going to hold its value," says store owner Tony Vecchio. Other things that may be of value include some TV dolls, Stretch Armstrong figures, comic books and Clash of the Titans action figures. Depending on the year, Beanie Babies can go up and down in value. "Any time you can find boxes of original items, that's going to increase the value,” Vecchio says.Collector Rick Goldschmidt has been collecting things for more than 20 years. “The problem with a lot of people, they collect things that are mass produced by the thousands,” Goldschmidt says. “They think that's going to be worth something 10 to 15 years later.”His top tip on what to keep and what to throw out: make sure your item you are collecting is rare or one-of-a-kind, with preferably less than 1,000 made.Both Goldschmidt and Vecchio say if you want to sell a collector item, start with eBay. Find out how much the item sold for and set your price from there.There are some collectibles that are worth a couple hundred bucks. But, majority of the time, the memory of the items is worth more than the actual item itself. 1590
