Blue's Clues‍ '​ first host Steve Burns
Blue's Clues‍ '​ first host Steve Burns

Blue's Clues is an American children's television series that premiered on Nickelodeon in 1996. Hosted first by Steve Burns and then by Donovan Patton, and produced by Angela Santomero, Todd Kessler and Traci Paige Johnson, the show follows an animated blue-spotted dog named Blue as she plays a game with the host and viewers, inviting their involvement. A product of extensive research in child development and early-childhood education, Blue's Clues was the first cutout animation series for preschoolers, and resembles a storybook in its use of primary colors and its simple construction paper shapes of familiar objects with varied colors and textures. It became the highest-rated show for preschoolers on American commercial television, and has been syndicated in 120 countries and translated into 15 languages. Regional versions of the show, featuring local hosts, have been produced in other countries. A live production of Blue's Clues toured the U.S. starting in 1999, and a spin-off called Blue's Room appeared on Nickelodeon in 2004. (Full article...)

AMX-30E

The AMX-30E was a Spanish battle tank based on the French AMX-30. Although the Spanish government originally sought to procure the German Leopard 1, the lower-cost AMX-30, which could be manufactured in Spain, was ultimately awarded the contract. The first 19 tanks were acquired from France in 1970, while another 180 were assembled in Spain by Santa Bárbara Sistemas for the Spanish Army between 1974 and 1983. The tank was to supplement Spain's fleet of American M47 and M48 Patton tanks, reducing the army's reliance on American equipment. It was Spain's first mass-produced tank, leading to the development of the Lince tank project in 1985 and the Leopard 2E in late 2003. In the late 1980s, 150 of the AMX-30E tanks were modernized to improve the vehicle's automotive characteristics; another 149 received only upgraded transmissions. Part of the fleet was replaced in the late 1990s by the German Leopard 2A4, and the rest by Centauro wheeled anti-tank vehicles in the early 21st century. (Full article...)

Augustine of Hippo, by Botticelli

The Augustinian theodicy, like other theodicies, is an argument reconciling an omnipotent, benevolent God with the presence of evil. Named after the early Christian theologian and philosopher Augustine of Hippo (pictured in a 16th-century painting), the argument asserts that evil exists not in itself but as a corruption of goodness, requiring the abuse of free will. The 20th-century philosopher John Hick classified similar theodicies by Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, and others as Augustinian for their shared beliefs that God is perfect and guiltless, that he created the world out of nothing, and that evil is a punishment for original sin. Augustine's argument was criticised by his contemporary Fortunatus, a Manichaean, who contended that God must be implicated in evil, and by 18th-century theologian Francesco Antonio Zaccaria, who said the argument neglected human suffering. Hick regarded evil as something necessary for moral development, and process theologians have argued that God is not responsible for evil because he is not omnipotent. Scientific consensus regarding the beginning of the world and the development of life runs contrary to some aspects of the Augustinian theodicy. (Full article...)

Robert Aitken's octagonal $50 piece

The five Panama–Pacific commemorative coins ($50 piece pictured) were produced in connection with the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. Struck at that city's mint, the issue included round and octagonal $50 pieces. Excepting modern bullion coins, these two gold pieces are the highest denomination ever issued and the largest coins ever struck by the United States Mint. The octagonal $50 piece is the only non-round U.S. coin ever issued. In January 1915, Congress passed legislation for a silver half dollar, as well as a gold dollar, a quarter eagle ($2.50 piece), and the two $50 pieces. The Mint had already consulted artists, but Treasury Secretary William G. McAdoo initially rejected all their designs. Two of them persevered, Robert I. Aitken for the $50 pieces and Charles Keck for the gold dollar, and their submissions were used. The half dollar and quarter eagle were designed by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, possibly with the participation of his longtime assistant, George T. Morgan. The coins did not sell well, and many of each denomination were returned for melting. Only a few hundred of each of the $50 pieces were distributed, making them the lowest-mintage commemorative coins. They catalog for up to $200,000, depending on condition. (Full article...)

The 2011 Money in the Bank event was the seventh of thirteen professional wrestling pay-per-view events held by WWE that year, and the second installment in the annual Money in the Bank series. It took place on July 17 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, and featured six matches, including two Money in the Bank ladder matches. Alberto Del Rio won the match for wrestlers from the Raw brand to earn a WWE Championship match at a time of his choosing within the next year, while Daniel Bryan won the match for wrestlers from the SmackDown brand for the same opportunity for the World Heavyweight Championship. In the World Heavyweight Championship match also held at the event, Christian defeated Randy Orton by disqualification and became the new champion according to the match rules. The main event featured John Cena defending his WWE Championship against CM Punk (pictured), who won and became the new champion. Money in the Bank was broadcast globally to 195,000 pay-per-view customers (compared to 165,000 for the previous year), and received positive reviews, with the main event receiving the most praise.

Roy Lichtenstein

Drowning Girl is a 1963 pop art painting with oil and synthetic polymer paint on canvas by Roy Lichtenstein (pictured). Utilizing the conventions of comic book art, a thought bubble conveys the thoughts of the figure, while Ben-Day dots echo the effect of the mechanized printing process. Part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection since 1971, the painting is considered among Lichtenstein's most significant works, perhaps on a par with Whaam!, his acclaimed 1963 diptych. Drowning Girl has been described as a "masterpiece of melodrama", and is one of the artist's earliest images depicting women in tragic situations, a theme to which he often returned in the mid-1960s. The painting shows a teary-eyed woman on a turbulent sea, declaring that she would rather sink in the ocean than call Brad. (Several Lichtenstein works contain text referring to an absent "Brad".) The narrative element highlights the clichéd melodrama, while its graphics reiterate Lichtenstein's theme of painterly work depicting mechanized reproduction. The work is derived from a 1962 DC Comics panel, while also borrowing from Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa and from works by modernist artists Jean Arp and Joan Miró. (Full article...)
