Super Science Stories was an American pulp science fiction magazine
published by Popular Publications. Frederik Pohl (pictured) did most of
the editing from 1940 to 1943, and the title was revived from 1949 to
1951 with Ejler Jakobsson as editor. Popular gave Pohl a very low
budget, and he wrote many of the stories himself. Most of the submitted
manuscripts had already been rejected by other magazines, but he was
able to acquire stories for the early issues from the Futurians, a group
of young science fiction fans and aspiring writers. Super Science
Stories was an initial success, and Pohl managed to obtain stories by
writers who later became well known, such as Isaac Asimov and Robert
Heinlein. When Jakobsson took over, he ran many reprinted stories.
Although the magazine was never regarded as one of the leading titles of
the genre, science fiction historian Raymond Thompson describes it as
"one of the most interesting magazines to appear during the 1940s".

The Gascon campaign of 1345, part of the Hundred Years' War, was fought
between August and November in English-controlled Gascony in south-west
France. Henry, Earl of Derby, commanding an Anglo-Gascon force, met a
large French force at Bergerac, east of Bordeaux, and decisively
defeated it. He moved to besiege the provincial capital of Périgueux,
but was threatened by a much larger force commanded by John, Duke of
Normandy, the son and heir of the French king. Derby withdrew and left
garrisons blockading Périgueux, including one at Auberoche, which the
French besieged. He returned with a small force, launched a surprise
attack against the greatly superior French, and won another decisive
victory, killing or capturing all of the French leaders. This campaign
was the first successful English land campaign of the war; morale and
prestige swung their way in the border regions of Gascony, providing an
influx of taxes and army recruits, and several important regional towns
went over to them. (This article is part of a featured topic: Gascon
campaign of 1345.) .

Maria Rundell (1745–1828) was an English writer. In 1805, when she was
over 60, she sent an unedited collection of recipes and household advice
to John Murray, of whose family—owners of the John Murray publishing
house—she was a friend. Murray published the work, A New System of
Domestic Cookery (frontispiece shown), in November 1805. It was a huge
success and several editions followed; the book sold around half a
million copies in Rundell's lifetime. It was aimed at middle class
housewives. In addition to dealing with food preparation, it offers
advice on medical remedies and how to set up a home brewery, and
includes a section entitled "Directions to Servants". She also advises
readers on being economical with their food and avoiding waste. Rundell
wrote a second book, Letters Addressed to Two Absent Daughters (1814),
with advice concerning death, friendship, how to behave in polite
company and the types of books a well-mannered young woman should read.

Interstate 696 is an east–west auxiliary Interstate Highway in the US
state of Michigan. Known as the Walter P. Reuther Freeway in honor of
the former head of the United Automobile Workers, it is a bypass route
through the northern suburbs of Detroit in Oakland and Macomb counties.
Its western terminus connects with I-96 and I-275 in Farmington Hills.
It runs east through suburbs including Southfield, Royal Oak and Warren
before merging on its east end into I-94 at St. Clair Shores. Planning
for the freeway started in the 1950s, and construction on the first
segment started in 1961. The western third of the freeway opened in
1963, and the eastern third was completed in January 1979. The central
segment was the subject of controversy over its routing and the effect
on local communities and the environment, delaying its completion until
December 15, 1989. (This article is part of a featured topic:

The Keldholme Priory election dispute occurred in Yorkshire, England, in
1308. The Archbishop of York, William Greenfield, appointed one of the
nuns to lead the house after a series of resignations by its prioresses.
His candidate, Emma de Ebor', was deemed unacceptable by many nuns, and
she resigned three months later. The Archbishop next appointed Joan de
Pykering from nearby Rosedale Priory, but the nuns resisted her as well.
The Archbishop attempted to quash the nuns' rebelliousness, exiling some
to surrounding priories and threatening others with excommunication. The
convent was not deterred, and eventually Greenfield allowed the nuns to
elect one of their number again. They first re-elected Emma de
Stapleton, who had been prioress in 1301, but she also became unpopular,
and resigned. They eventually re-elected Emma de Ebor'. The election
dispute evaporated, and little more was heard of the priory until its
dissolution in 1536.

The Kenora Thistles were an ice hockey team founded in 1894 in Kenora,
Ontario, Canada. The team competed for Canada's Stanley Cup five times
between 1903 and 1907, winning it in January 1907 and defending it once.
They lost it in a challenge series two months later, the shortest length
of time that any team has possessed the Cup. Nine Thistles
players—four of them local to the area—have been inducted into the
Hockey Hall of Fame, and the Stanley Cup champion team was inducted into
the Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of Fame. The Thistles competed in
Manitoba-based leagues throughout their existence, owing to the city's
proximity to that province. They joined the Manitoba Hockey Association
in 1902, winning the league championship in three of their six seasons.
After an economic downturn in 1907, they were unable to sustain their
success as professionalism came to ice hockey, and the team disbanded in
1908.

The South Lake Union Streetcar is a streetcar route in Seattle,
Washington, United States. Traveling 1.3 miles (2.1 km), it connects
downtown to the South Lake Union neighborhood on Westlake Avenue, Terry
Avenue, and Valley Street. It was the first modern Seattle Streetcar
line, beginning service on December 12, 2007, two years after a separate
heritage streetcar ceased operations. It was conceived as part of the
redevelopment of South Lake Union into a technology hub, with lobbying
and financial support from Paul Allen. The line is popularly known by
its nickname, the South Lake Union Trolley (abbreviated as "SLUT"),
which is used on unofficial merchandise. The streetcar was controversial
in its first few years due to its slow speed, low ridership, and ties to
real estate development. Improvements to its corridor since 2011 have
increased service and improved schedule reliability, but ridership has
declined since 2014.

"You Only Move Twice" is the second episode of the eighth season of The
Simpsons, an American animated sitcom. Directed by Mike B. Anderson and
written by John Swartzwelder based on a story idea by Greg Daniels, it
first aired on the Fox network on November 3, 1996. In the episode, the
family moves to a new town, Cypress Creek, and Homer's friendly new boss
turns out to be a supervillain. Bart, Lisa, and Marge each have
secondary storylines. The episode title is a reference to the James Bond
film You Only Live Twice, and many elements of the episode parody the
Bond films, with a character modeled after Bond making a brief
appearance. Albert Brooks (pictured), in his fourth appearance on The
Simpsons, guest stars as the voice of Homer's new boss. The episode was
very well received by critics. IGN named "You Only Move Twice" the best

Limalok is a guyot, an undersea volcanic mountain with a flat top, in
the southeastern Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Located at a
depth of 1,255 metres (4,117 ft) with a 636-square-kilometre
(246 sq mi) summit platform, it is joined to Mili Atoll and Knox Atoll
through a volcanic ridge. Limalok probably started as a shield volcano
built up from basaltic rocks; the Macdonald, Rarotonga, Rurutu and
Society hotspots may have been involved in its formation. A period of
erosion and flattening began around 56 million years ago. During the
Paleocene and Eocene, a carbonate platform (mostly red algae) supported
an atoll, or an atoll-like structure with reefs. The platform sank below
sea level roughly 46–50 million years ago during the Eocene, perhaps
because the equatorial area it moved through was too hot or nutrient-
rich to support the growth of a coral reef. Thermal subsidence lowered
the drowned seamount to its present depth.

Emanuel Moravec (1893–1945) was a Czech army officer and writer who
collaborated with Nazi Germany as the minister of education of the
Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia between 1942 and 1945. He was also
chair of the Board of Trustees for the Education of Youth, a fascist
youth organisation in the protectorate. In World War I, Moravec served
in the Austro-Hungarian Army, but following capture by the Russians he
changed sides, first joining Russian-backed Serbian forces and then the
Czechoslovak Legion. During the interwar period he commanded an infantry
battalion in the Czechoslovak Army. As a proponent of democracy during
the 1930s, Moravec appealed for armed action against Germany and scorned
German demands for the Sudetenland, but after their occupation of the
rump Czechoslovakia, he became an enthusiastic collaborator, realigning
his political worldview towards fascism. He killed himself in the final
days of World War II. (Full article...).
