[Q]: Two recent books look at the very human (sometimes all-too-human) process of trying to make sense of the known universe:  The Un-Discovered Islands: An Archipelago of Myths and Mysteries  Phantoms and Fakes  by Malachy Tallack  and The Planet Factory: Exoplanets and the Search for a Second Earth  by Elizabeth Tasker .  They 're so stylistically and scientifically disparate as to seem unrelated  but reading  them  in close succession makes for something greater than the sum of its parts â a joint atlas of human guesses in a world that seems destined to confound us.
 Elizabeth Tasker  knows all about that; The Planet Factory is all about the formation of worlds humanity might never clap eyes on. And if you're hoping for definitive answers about how things work closer to home  think again;  Tasker 's very clear that the scientific method is as often about being proven wrong. "The problem (and there is always a problem)" isn't just an aside on a particular theory  but a thesis for the field. This is a book about trying to map unknown seas in real time; the ghosts of the sailors peering into the dawn looking for Thule live in every telescopic survey.
The Planet Factory can feel intimidating; certainly you must come to it wanting to know everything there is to know about making planets  and hang in there as long as you can before the variables overwhelm you. ( Tasker  offers easy analogies by the handful  and while at first they may seem too easy  you'll appreciate them by the time you're trying to understand the optimum timing of planetary migration.)

[Q]: Venezuela's  President Nicolas Maduro (C)  speaks during an event related to the Sowing Plan "North Summer 2017" in Araure  Venezuela September 27  2017. Miraflores Palace/Handout via REUTERS ATTENTION EDITORS - THIS PICTURE WAS PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela âs President Nicolas Maduro  railed at two of  his  main international critics on Wednesday  chiding Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy for âmeddlingâ and mocking U.S. President Donald Trump for geographical ignorance.
The United States has recently imposed sanctions on Venezuelan officials and Spain is pressing for the European Union to follow suit as international pressure grows on  Maduro  over  his  record on human rights and democracy.
âWhy is the global right wing so obsessed with our homeland?â  leftist Maduro  responded in an address on state TV.
Lampooning âlittle Marianoâ for mispronouncing his name âMaderoâ   Maduro  said  the conservative leader  should focus instead on Spainâs internal problems  Cataloniaâs independence push  and Europeâs problematic relations with Washington.
âForget talking about Venezuela  which is a homeland of dignity â  Maduro  said. âI reject and repudiate Mariano Rajoyâs meddling  rude  absurd comments against Venezuela.â
 Maduro  faces global criticism that  he  has turned Venezuela into a dictatorship with the creation of an all-powerful Constituent Assembly  jailing of political opponents and quashing of protests this year in which 125 people died.
Having in recent days labeled Trump a âHitlerâ and âimperial emperorâ supporting violent coup-plotters in Venezuela   Maduro  took aim this time at the Republicanâs intellect.

 Maduro  repeatedly calls opposition leaders pawns of the United States intent on toppling  him  by force.  He  says the Constituent Assembly  elected in August in a vote boycotted by the opposition and condemned by various foreign powers  has brought peace to the nation of 30 million.

[Q]: But the new-wave tight ends are so multidimensional that no matchup is a perfect fit. They have the speed to run away from a linebacker. The Houston Texans put linebacker Brian Cushing on Clark on Nov. 8 and Clark caught 14 passes  tying for the third-most receptions in a game by a tight end in league history.
 Because of their speed  tight ends are more of a threat to catch intermediate and deep passes now  which makes them a greater threat on third down. Clark caught 28 passes on third down  the fourth most in the league  and his overall reception average was 11.1 yards. Gates had 21 receptions on third down  with an average third-down reception of 15.5 yards. In all  he had 18 receptions for at least 20 yards this season and an average of 14.6 yards per reception.
 In his 13-year playing career  Ozzie Newsome  the Cleveland Browns' Hall of Fame tight end  who is now the Ravens' general manager  had three seasons of at least 900 yards  and he had two seasons in which he caught 89 passes. Gates has caught at least 71 passes in five of his seven seasons  and has passed 900 yards five times.
 Clark's breakthrough this year  though  has been a matter of circumstance. In 2008  as receiver Marvin Harrison faded  Clark had his career high of 77 receptions for 848 yards. But in 2009  with Harrison gone  Anthony Gonzalez injured in the opening game  and the Colts working in two inexperienced wide receivers  Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon  Peyton Manning leaned on Clark more than ever. The Colts had found Harrison's replacement  in a much bigger body.
 "For most of my career  we've had the luxury of having phenomenal receivers " Clark said. "You know your place early. Now  I'm everywhere  in the backfield  in the slot  out wide. Everywhere but under center -- that job is taken."
