Groundbreaking game
The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the first-ever video game for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The game, called EndeavorRX, was designed by the company Akili, and can be prescribed by doctors for kids ages 8-12 with certain kinds of ADHD. The object of the game is to steer through an obstacle course to acquire rewards.
Nature comes to the city
You expect to encounter wildlife when you take a stroll out in the woods, but what about when wildlife comes to you? Residents of White Plains, New York, experienced just that when a black bear was discovered roaming around the town. A news crew from CNN affiliate News 12 Westchester found the bear in a parking garage and followed him around the city.
A spooky reunion
Actor and comedian Josh Gad hosted an assembly for the ages by reuniting the cast of the 80’s smash hit “Ghostbusters.” The cast members, who gave an interview for Gad’s YouTube series called “Reunited Apart,” shared their thoughts about the movie.

A new quarantine tradition
Quarantining during the coronavirus outbreak has been tough for us all, but it brought together a young boy and a train conductor in Massachusetts. Three-year-old Jake loves to watch as the trains go by each day, and assistant conductor Tony Thornton provided a thrill by giving him a ride.
Far from home
A polar bear was spotted in the Russian city of Norilsk for the first time in 40 years. The bear is believed to have traveled a great distance to get there, as the species lives over 300 miles away along the coast.
