On Tuesday 6 June, 1944,
nearly 160,000 allied soldiers landed along a 50-mile
stretch of coast in Normandy. D-Day marked the beginning of
the end for the Nazi Occupation of western Europe. But at
the time, German generals in charge of defending the beaches
didnt believe the full scale Allied invasion of France
had even begun. Thanks to a series of deceptions, the bulk
of Germanys defensive forces were 150 miles away when
the Normandy landings were taking place.

Some of the biggest U.S.
airlines are quietly charging solo travelers more than
passengers who book as a pair, according to recent travel
industry findings. American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and
United Airlines have added new fare rules that require
passengers to book at least two tickets to access the
cheapest fares. That means solo travelers could end up
paying as much as 70 percent. This pricing tactic appears
designed to target business travelers, who often book
last-minute and travel alone.

Sir Walter Raleigh,
English landed gentleman, writer, soldier and explorer was
one of Queen Elizabeth I's favorites. He had even famously
cast his expensive cloak on to a muddy puddle once to
protect her royal feet. On May 31, 1592, the Queen
discovered Raleigh had secretly married one of her
ladies-in-waiting, Elizabeth had not been consulted and was
furious. The pair was arrested and imprisoned in the Tower
of London. And so began Raleigh's descent into disfavor,
disgrace and, ultimately, death.

Theres something
inherently nostalgic about popping a DVD into a player. Remember

physical collection you could browse through? Thats what
playing DVDs can help you feel again. This nostalgia is a warm,

lives.
