Many say that “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima” is the most reproduced photograph in history. What many don’t know is that this was the second flag raised at the battle site, and the photographer who took it wasn't even looking through his viewfinder.
The book/movie Flags of Our Fathers covers this in detail. Both very good.The Story Behind the Most Famous Picture from World War II

Completely reasonable... How anyone could survive on less is beyond her comprehension, lol...This billionaire's wife wants $1 million a month after divorce
The budget includes $300,000 a month for a private jet, $160,000 for vacation accommodations, $60,000 for an office space and professional staff, as well as $14,000 per month for groceries and dining out, according to court filings.

Rat Paradise Turned Malthusian nightmare
by Esther Inglis-Arkell; Filed to: PSYCHOLOGY; Today 7:30am
In 1972, animal behaviorist John Calhoun built a rat paradise with beautiful buildings and limitless food. He introduced eight mice to the population. Two years later, the mice had created their own apocalypse. Here's why.
Universe 25 was a giant box designed to be a rodent utopia. The trouble was, this utopia did not have a benevolent creator. John B. Calhoun had designed quite a few mouse environments before he got to the 25th one, and didn't expect to be watching a happy story. Divided into "main squares" and then subdivided into levels, with ramps going up to "apartments," the place looked great, and was always kept stocked with food, but its inhabitants were doomed from the get-go.
Universe 25 started out with eight mice, four males and four females. By day 560, the mouse population reached 2,200, and then steadily declined back down to unrecoverable extinction.

Kill the Wireless Contract! Buy Your Own Phone
It’s now surprisingly easy to live a fruitful mobile life without a carrier contract

It’s now surprisingly easy to live a fruitful mobile life, free of carrier contracts, thanks to unlocked phones. With one, you aren’t bound to a carrier. You could switch from, say, AT&T to T-Mobile or Cricket Wireless, or even to Vodafone when you take that vacation to the Greek Isles. It’s actually how most of the world buys mobile phones.
The bad news: To get that freedom, it means paying more upfront. (That $199 iPhone? It really costs $650!) But many great phones are becoming more affordable. And the benefits far outweigh that initial sticker shock. You’ll have your pick of carriers, you’ll be able to leave whenever you like and you can save some real money in the long run.
