Stephanie Kwolek is the research scientist who invented Kevlar in 1971… the material so strong it can stop a bullet. It currently helps protect our Troops as they protect us. Interesting to think men invented guns and a woman invented bulletproof material.

King Richard III reburial: Here are church, royalty and army revering a child-killing, wife-slaughtering tyrant who would be on trial if he weren’t 500 years dead. This is the madness of monarchy, where these bones are honoured for their divine royalty, whether by accident of birth or by brutal seizure of the crown. Richard is a good symbol of the “bloodline” fantasy. Britain's story is one of royal usurpage and regicide, with imported French, Dutch and German monarchs.

This is what the tea looked like that was dumped into the Boston harbor. This plank could roughly last someone a year. Often bought in sections, one would shave off the compressed tea into a pot/kettle.

Richard III lowered into the ground

Depicted by Shakespeare as a sadistic, crafty hunchback, Richard was re-interred at Leicester Cathedral some 530 years after he was slain at the Battle of Bosworth Field on Aug. 22, 1485. Elizabeth II stated, ''Today, we recognise a king who lived through turbulent times and whose Christian faith sustained him in life and death." She expressed her wish that Richard, slain at 32 in August 1485, would 'now lie in peace in the city of Leicester in the heart of England'.
