In 1996, Binti Jua, an 8-year-old female Western lowland gorilla, tended to a 3-year-old boy who had fallen into her enclosure at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois.
The child had climbed the wall and fallen 24 feet (7.3m), breaking his hand and receiving a large gash on his face. Binti walked over and cradled the boy in her arms. She carried him over to the service entrance and handed him over to her zookeepers. Her 17-month old baby, Koola clutched her back throughout the whole ordeal.

What is dealer ship markup?
Car dealer markup is what dealerships add to jack up the price of a car. It’s above and beyond the factory MSRP.
A dealership makes its gross profit on a vehicle from the spread between what it must pay the factory for a car and the amount it collects from a customer at the point of sale. Once a dealership subtracts expenses, such as the salesperson’s commission and so forth, that’s their net profit on the vehicle.
There’s your wiggle room for negotiations on that new car.
Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel is exactly the way it was on April 4th, 1968. The bed is made. The food tray is on the coffee table. The ashtray with a partially smoked cigarette is on the desk. As you peer into the hotel room, you see Dr. King’s surroundings during the final minutes of his life — frozen in time.
Dr. King stayed at the Lorraine Motel numerous times while visiting Memphis. In April 1968, he came to the city to support striking sanitation workers. On April 4th, he stepped onto the balcony outside room 306 to talk to friends in the parking lot below. He asked the saxophonist, Ben Branch, to play ‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord’ at a rally that would be held that evening. As he turned to walk back into his room, a bullet struck him in the neck. He died instantly.
The term arose during the foreclosure of farms during the Great Depression in the United States: neighbors would gather in large numbers at the auction and place bids of only a few pennies, while intimidating anyone who attempted to bid competitively. In the end, the bank that owned the farm would get whatever was bid and the neighbors would return the farm and its contents to the farmer.
On a quiet July night in 1958 Richard and Mildred Loving were abruptly awoken as police officers entered their home. Walking up to the couple as they lie in bed a police officer shined a flashlight in their direction and began to question them.
“They asked Richard, who was that woman he was sleeping with, and I said, ‘I’m his wife.’ And the sheriff said, ‘Not here you’re not,’”

Despite terrifying multiple generations playing the Wicked Witch, Hamilton in real life was a kindergarten teacher who was devoted to the education of children.
In 1976, Margaret Hamilton — the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz (1939)—donned the green makeup one more time for an episode of Sesame Street.
The show’s theme was fear and how to overcome it, with a plotline about witch searching for her lost flying broomstick, but apparently the episode was so scary to children that Sesame Street bowed to parents’ complaints and never aired it again. Snippets occasionally appeared on YouTube but quickly vanished like a pair of ruby slippers. Now though, a fellow named Mike Minnick has uploaded a high quality copy of this “lost” Episode 0847.
He is right. We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. The first bomb, the first explosion, burst in our hearts. We are cut off from activity, from striving, from progress. We believe in such things no longer, we believe in war.
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

Mihailo Toloto was born in 1856. Shortly after his mother’s death (after giving birth), a few men carried him up to a monastery on Mount Athos (a mountain located on a peninsula in northeastern Greece). He grew up in the monastery and spent his whole life on the peninsula until his death.
In 1046, Byzantine emperor Constantine Monomachos enacted a law, which prohibited women from entering the region so that the monks could live in complete celibacy without temptation. Although Mount Athos is part of the European Union, the monastery has special jurisdiction over the region and has the authority to decide who can and cannot enter.
According to the Huichol tradition, when a woman had her first child the husband squatted in the rafters of the house, or in the branches of a tree, directly above her, with ropes attached to his scrotum. As she went into labor pain, the wife pulled vigorously on the ropes, so that her husband shared in the painful, but ultimately joyous, experience of childbirth.
