Guerrillas at Cabanatuan

The Raid at Cabanatuan was a rescue of Allied prisoners of war (POWs) and civilians from a Japanese camp (pictured) near Cabanatuan City in the Philippines. On January 30, 1945, during World War II, United States Army Rangers, Alamo Scouts, and Filipino guerrillas liberated more than 500 from the POW camp. Having survived the Battle of Bataan and the Bataan Death March, followed by years of torture, malnourishment, and disease, the prisoners feared they would all be executed when General Douglas MacArthur and his American forces returned to Luzon. A group of over a hundred Rangers and Scouts from the Sixth Army and several hundred Filipino guerrillas were sent to rescue the prisoners. They traveled 30 miles (48 km) behind Japanese lines to reach the camp. Under the cover of darkness and a distraction by a P-61 Black Widow, the group surprised the Japanese forces in and around the camp. Hundreds of Japanese troops were killed in the 30-minute coordinated attack; the Americans suffered minimal casualties. The raid was depicted in the films Back to Bataan and The Great Raid.

Literary Hall

The Romney Literary Society, established on January 30, 1819, as the Polemic Society of Romney, was the first literary society in what is now West Virginia, and one of the first in the United States. It was founded by nine prominent Romney men with the objectives of advancing literature and science, purchasing and maintaining a library, and improving educational opportunities. The society debated a range of scientific and social topics, and often violated its own rules banning religious and political subjects. The society's library began in 1819 and grew to contain around 3,000 volumes in 1861. The organization also sought to establish an institution for "the higher education of the youth of the community". During the Civil War the contents of the library were plundered by Union Army forces. The society was reorganized in 1869 and took a leading role in Romney's civil development. In 1870 the group built the Literary Hall (pictured) and offered its former campus to the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind. The Literary Hall housed the library and group meetings until their last recorded meeting in 1886. (Full article...)

Artist's impression

The Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) was a species of mammoth that inhabited the western hemisphere from Costa Rica to the northern United States during the Pleistocene epoch. It evolved from the steppe mammoth, which entered North America from Asia about 1.5 million years ago. Reaching 4 m (13 ft) at the shoulders and 8–10 tonnes (18,000–22,000 lb) in weight, the Columbian mammoth was one of the largest species of mammoth. It used its tusks and trunk for manipulating objects, fighting, and foraging. The species preferred open areas and fed on sedge, grass, and other plants. Its range may have overlapped with that of the woolly mammoths, which inhabited the Arctic regions of Canada. Columbian mammoths coexisted in North America for a few thousand years with Palaeoamericans, who hunted them for food, used their bones to make tools, and depicted them in art. Columbian mammoth remains have been found in association with Clovis culture artefacts. The species disappeared at the end of the Pleistocene around 11,000 years ago, most likely as a result of habitat loss caused by climate change, hunting by humans, or both. (Full article...)

Egyptologist's drawing of a bronze cylinder seal of Shepseskare

Shepseskare (Egyptian for "Noble is the Soul of Ra") was an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh, the fourth or fifth ruler of the Fifth Dynasty (2494–2345 BC) during the Old Kingdom period. He lived in the mid-25th century BC, and was probably the owner of an unfinished pyramid platform in Abusir that was abandoned after a few weeks of work in the earliest stages of its construction. Very few artefacts are attributable to this most obscure ruler of the dynasty, and historians disagree on whether he reigned for a few months or for as long as seven years, between the reigns of Neferirkare Kakai and Neferefre. Shepseskare's relations to his predecessor and successor are not known for certain. The Egyptologist Miroslav Verner, who favours the shorter reign, has proposed that he was a son of Sahure and a brother to Neferirkare Kakai, who briefly seized the throne following the premature death of his predecessor and probable nephew, Neferefre. Shepseskare may himself have died unexpectedly or he may have lost the throne to another of his nephews, the future pharaoh Nyuserre Ini. (Full article...)

El Castillo, at Chichen Itza

The Maya civilization was a Mesoamerican civilization developed by the Maya peoples in an area that encompasses southeastern Mexico, all of Guatemala and Belize, and the western portions of Honduras and El Salvador. The earliest villages developed before 2000 BC. The first Maya cities developed around 750 BC, and by 500 BC these cities possessed monumental architecture. Two hundred years later, the Maya were using Hieroglyphic writing, the most advanced script in the pre-Columbian Americas. Only three of their books of history and ritual knowledge are known for certain to remain. Beginning in the mid third century, the Classic period saw the Maya civilization develop a large number of city-states linked by a complex trade network. In the 9th century, there was a widespread political collapse in the central Maya region. In the 16th century, the Spanish Empire colonised the region; the last Maya city fell in 1697. The Maya developed highly sophisticated artforms, complex calendars, and mathematics that included one of the earliest instances of the explicit zero in the world. Maya architecture included palaces, pyramid-temples, and ceremonial ballcourts. (Full article...)

The 1804 dollar is one of the rarest and most valuable American coins. Proof coin sets, including the dollar, were created for use as diplomatic gifts carried by envoy Edmund Roberts on his trips to Siam and Muscat. Though the dollars are dated 1804, none were struck until the 1830s; the earlier date was a mistake based on misunderstood U.S. Mint records from 1804. Later, Mint officials struck some of the coins to trade with collectors in exchange for rare coins needed for the Mint's coin cabinet. In response to numismatic demand, Mint officials surreptitiously produced several coins, one of which lacked the correct edge lettering. The coins produced for the diplomatic mission, the dollar struck without edge lettering and the later examples with lettering are known as "Class I", "Class II" and "Class III" dollars, respectively. Altogether, only fifteen specimens are known to exist, and in 1999, one sold for $4.14 million, the highest price paid for any coin up to that time. These coins have been frequent targets of counterfeiting and other deceptions. (Full article...)

Kele Okereke

A Weekend in the City is the second studio album by British indie rock band Bloc Party. It was recorded at Grouse Lodge Studios in Westmeath, Ireland, in mid-2006, and was produced by Jacknife Lee. The album was mixed later that year and released on 24 January 2007, with Wichita Recordings as its primary label. The band aimed to create an album that distanced them from conventional guitar band music, incorporating more electronically processed beats and hiring a string sextet for certain tracks. Frontman and chief lyricist Kele Okereke (pictured) themed the lyrics on life in modern cities, including issues such as drug abuse, sexuality and terrorism, as exemplified respectively on the singles "The Prayer", "I Still Remember" and "Hunting for Witches". Critical reception was split on the band's new musical directions and more forthright lyrics. A Weekend in the City, named by The Guardian as one of "1000 Albums To Hear Before You Die", was re-released in November 2007 to coincide with Bloc Party's touring schedule. It peaked at number 2 on the UK Album Chart and Irish Album Chart, and at number 12 on the Billboard 200. (Full article...)

The December 1969 nor'easter was an intense winter storm that most notably impacted the Northeastern United States and southern Quebec on December 25–28, 1969. The multi-faceted storm system was blamed for at least 20 deaths in the United States and 15 in Canada. After developing over Texas and spawning several damaging tornadoes in the Deep South, the cyclone advanced to the Eastern Seaboard, dropping more than 1 ft (30 cm) of snow as far south as Washington, D.C. The nor'easter intensified and slowed as it moved into New England, delivering 40 inches (100 cm) of snowfall in some places, with heavy rain near the coast and a severe ice storm in Vermont and New Hampshire. Montreal received 27.5 in (70 cm) of snow over a period of 60 hours. Equipment failures and drifts up to 30 ft (9 m) left roadways blocked for many days throughout the affected region, and some communities became inaccessible except by snowmobile. The weight of the snow and ice, combined with gale-force winds, collapsed roofs and brought down power lines. In eastern New England, ice jams and excessive rainfall resulted in flooding that inundated homes and roadways. (Full article...)

HMS Agincourt was a British dreadnought built with more turreted heavy guns (fourteen) and more main turrets (seven) than any other battleship, before or since. Originally ordered by Brazil during a South American naval arms race, the ship was purchased from Brazil by the Ottoman Empire while under construction and renamed Sultan Osman I, after the empire's founder. When the dreadnought was nearly complete, World War I broke out. The British Admiralty, fearing an Ottoman–German alliance, seized the ship for the Royal Navy, together with another Ottoman dreadnought being built in Britain, the Reşadiye. This act contributed to the decision of the Ottoman government to join the Central Powers, as the payments for both ships were complete. The renamed Agincourt joined the Grand Fleet in the North Sea and, apart from the Battle of Jutland in 1916, spent most of the war on patrols and exercises. The dreadnought was put into reserve in 1919 and—after abortive attempts to sell the ship back to Brazil—was sold for scrap in 1922 to comply with the Washington Naval Treaty. (Full article...)

The Banker horse is a small, hardy, and docile feral horse (Equus ferus caballus) living on barrier islands in North Carolina's Outer Banks. Descended from domesticated Spanish horses and possibly brought to the Americas in the 16th century, the foundation bloodstock may have become feral after surviving shipwrecks or being abandoned on the islands by one of the exploratory expeditions led by Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón or Sir Richard Grenville. Populations are found in the Rachel Carson Estuarine Sanctuary and on Ocracoke Island, Shackleford Banks, and Currituck Banks. Although not considered indigenous to the islands, Bankers are allowed to remain because of their historical significance. They survive by grazing on marsh grasses—for water as well as food—supplemented by temporary freshwater pools. To prevent overpopulation and inbreeding, and to protect their habitat from overgrazing, the horses are managed by the National Park Service, the State of North Carolina, and private organizations; populations are limited through adoptions and birth control. Bankers taken from the wild and trained have been used for trail riding, driving, and mounted patrols. (Full article...)
