Use on May 24:
 It was supposed to be the greatest British celebration ever held on foreign soil but turned into the greatest tragedy to strike California. On May 24, 1913, the first ''Empire Day'' in Southern California was celebrated.  Twenty thousand British and former British subjects gathered in Long Beach that day for a festive celebration which was to include a parade, athletic competitions, games, music and speeches at the Municipal Auditorium.  It was just at the close of the parade when disaster struck.
Published in 1962, the eponymous Drake equation sought to estimate the number of detectable alien civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy. This equation takes into account the average rate of star formation in the galaxy, the fraction of those stars that have orbiting planets, and the average number of those planets per star that can support life. This formula also considers what could support intelligent organisms, and whether those organisms can develop technology capable of contacting others. Taking a train across America gives you access to incredible views of our great country. You get to kick back and enjoy the scenery. Or even write your greatest roadside novel. But how much does it cost to travel by railways? With the rising price of airfare, vacationing by train could become more enticing. The diamond came from India's alluvial mines thousands of years ago, sifted from the sand. According to Hindu belief, it was revered by gods like Krishna-even though it seemed to carry a curse, if the luck of its owners was anything to go by. The gem, which would come to be known as the Koh-i-Noor Diamond, wove its way through Indian court intrigues before eventually ending up in the British Crown Jewels by the mid-1800s.
The time was 1020, 4 June 1942. Just five minutes later, three of those carriers, the Akagi, Kaga, and S?ry? were wrecked beyond redemption, set ablaze by bombs exploding in their hangars, oily black smoke boiling up through the gaping holes rent in their flight decks. The bloody remains of sailors were scattered about in hangars below, a grim down payment on the 3,057 Japanese who would ultimately die this day. Though the final outcome had yet to be revealed to either side, the United States had just won Joe Biden, sometimes referred to as ''Sleepy Joe,' finally surrendered his bony grip on power this week at the age of 82. Like most Americans, we're glad he's gone and don't really care what he does next. But we're still a little curious to see what Biden will get up to in the (likely very brief) final chapter of his life. Why North Sentinel Island Is One Of Earth’s Last Great Mysteries—Officially Off-Limits Since 1956
I find Amazon a great place to buy what I need, and sometimes the product is so good (or bad) that when Amazon asks, I'll write a review. Call me an old romantic, but there's nothing that warms my heart more than having someone beaten to death and beheaded. The author says yes,  Google Maps is a tool designed to get you from Point A to Point B the fastest, but there are alternative programs out there you may find more interesting and useful.
The official emblem of the State of Israel, the Menorah is a key Jewish emblem. The Torah relates how God Himself gave Moses instructions for building this holy seven-branched candelabra on Mount Sinai: ''You shall make a menorah of pure gold…'' (Exodus 25: 31-40) Columnist Tammy Swift sees no reason to mess with the typical romantic gestures and treasures for important events like Valentine's Day, birthdays, or anniversaries. If you truly want to make a splash, present something that is rare and in-demand and incredibly valuable: buy her food.
See previous homepages by clicking here. The Alaska Gold Rush town of Nome faced a bleak winter. It was hundreds of miles from anywhere, cut off by the frozen sea and unrelenting blizzards, and under siege from a contagious disease known as the ''strangling angel'' for the way it suffocated children. Now, 100 years later, Nome is remembering its saviors - the sled dogs and mushers who raced for more than five days through hypothermia, frostbite, gale-force winds and blinding whiteouts to deliver life-saving serum and free the community from the g Page 1:
By the early 2000s, Tyson’s fortune was running on fumes. He filed for bankruptcy in 2003, revealing debts of $23 million. His financial troubles included a $9 million divorce settlement with his second wife, Monica Turner, along with over $17 million in unpaid U.S. and British taxes. Tyson’s notorious lifestyle, lawsuits, and legal troubles only compounded the financial strain, marking a brutal fall for the man who once stood at the pinnacle of the sport.
This is the story of the only successful overthrow of a domestic government in American history. Once generally referred to as a ''riot'', the events of 1898 in Wilmington, North Carolina are now more widely understood to have been a massacre of its African American citizens, and the overthrow of an elected government.

The Battle of Mobile Bay is perhaps most famous for Admiral Farragut's immortal words, ''Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!'' When Farragut's flagship, the USS Hartford, faced a line of torpedoes (naval mines) as they sailed into the bay, he understood the risks but chose to press forward.
