Millions of people keep cash home rather than a savings account. For most, it's a normal part of their financial lifestyle. But there are dangers of keeping too much cash at home, and it's likely they don't give much thought to what could happen. There may be certain benefits to holding a small amount of cash at home for whatever purpose. But there are risks involved in doing so, particularly if it's a large amount of money. Built in 1882, the New York City steam system is the United States' oldest and largest. The utility company Consolidated Edison uses those pipes, most of which are buried beneath the city's streets, to supply steam for heating, cooling and other commercial uses. But now and then, here and there, one of the pipes springs a leak and the escaping steam billows up through the nearest manhole, that's where the orange funnels come into play, to safely divert the steam high in the air. In the late 15th century, when the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci completed ''Vitruvian Man'' - one of his most famous drawings, which depicts the proportions of the human body - he could not have predicted it would be reproduced onto cheap notebooks, coffee mugs, T-shirts, aprons, and even puzzles. Centuries later, the Italian government and the German puzzle maker Ravensburger are battling over who has the right to reproduce ''Vitruvian Man'' and profit from it.
''Dr. Jane's Dream,'' an immersive spectacle by former Walt Disney Imagineers and African artisans celebrating the groundbreaking English primatologist and environmental activist, is taking form in a cultural complex in Tanzania. Why do people have such inaccurate thoughts on these survey questions? The author blames the media, saying they run race, gender, and wealth stories constantly, resulting in you and I being brainwashed.  Whether it’s a family member, a co-worker, or a stranger, chances are that you’ve had someone say something hurtful to you. Here’s how to deal with it. David Niven served in the Second World War as an officer in a British commando unit. Prior to the outbreak of the war, he had already established himself as a soldier of some repute, earning the rank of lieutenant in 1933. Now a movie star, he re-enlisted and returned to Europe. Just before a fight that might have heavy casualties, he cheered up his men with a quip: ''Look, you chaps only have to do this once. But I'll have to do it all over again in Hollywood with Errol Flynn''.
In this book are the confessions of a born flyer who always seems to know a tiny bit less than he needs as each chapter of his career unfolds. Naivety, and a positive attitude so strong it often overpowers common sense, join to make 'I Can Fly' a fascinating read. ''Open The Books.Com'' has a new groundbreaking search tool that helps answer the burning question Americans have been asking since 1789: ''what the heck is my government up to?'' Magnetic Rock contains magnetite, a magnetic mineral that will cause your compass needle to spin. This fact, combined with the rock's soaring 60-foot height, makes this site truly impressive.
Project Artichoke or Operation Artichoke, was a CIA research project that began in 1951 and whose aim was to determine whether a person could be forced via hypnosis or forced drug addiction such as morphine or LSD, to commit an act of attempted assassination. Hold for August 25, 2024

Union officers led their troops directly at the Confederate line, a path that took them down into the 30-foot hole. Once in this hole, the Union soldiers found it extremely difficult to climb up 30 feet of loose soil to reach the enemy line. Dazed Confederate troops regained their composure and rushed to the breech to stop the Union advance. It  became a turkey shoot. Union soldiers desperately trying to scramble out of the hole were slaughtered by Confederates firing down on them, 3800 were killed.

One way of looking at the events at Little Bighorn, called the Battle of Greasy Grass by the Native Americans who fought in it, is to search for the answer to two questions. Firstly, what motivated the Cheyenne and Sioux warriors in 1876 in their determination to fight the U.S. Army? And secondly, to what extent did Lieutenant Colonel Custer’s background and character make his disastrous last stand an inevitability?

Custer's account of Monahsetah suggests, but doesn't confirm, erotic episodes between the lieutenant colonel and the Cheyenne woman whose name means ''Young Grass That Shoots in Spring.'' Libbie Custer, whose loving union with George is part of Western legend, pretty plainly knew about the extramarital affair, according to her own writings.
