The electric age was born in 1882 on Pearl Street in Lower Manhattan when Thomas Edison began operating the city’s first central power station. One jumbo dynamo helped generate enough direct current to power 800 light bulbs, and within a year Edison’s company had more than 500 customers.

         where they are sunk with heavy stones, (I know the

O the sweetness of the Fifth-month morning upon the water as I
         row just before sunrise toward the buoys,

I pull the wicker pots up slantingly, the dark green lobsters are
         desperate with their claws as I take them out, I insert
         wooden pegs in the joints of their pincers,

I go to all the places one after another, and then row back to the

The best way to experience the rainforest is walking in the treetops. Approximately 90% of all rainforest organisms live in the treetop canopy, so The Sky Walk offers guided two- to three-hour tours on six different suspension bridges at Monteverde, a small town in Puntarenas known as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Costa Rica. National Geographic dubbed it “the jewel in the crown of cloud forest reserves."

 Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great (Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Μέγας, Aléxandros ho Mégasiii[›] from the Greek αλέξω alexo "to defend, help" + ανήρ aner "man"), was a king of Macedon, a state in northern ancient Greece. Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander was tutored by Aristotle until the age of 16. By the age of thirty, he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas.

“Alexandria”: “The first movement to make the Scripture speak the current tongue appeared nearly three
centuries before Christ. Most of the Old Testament then existed in Hebrew. But the Jews had
scattered widely. Many had gathered in Egypt where Alexander the Great had founded the city
that bears his name. At one time a third of the population of the city was Jewish. Many of
the people were passionately loyal to their old religion and its Sacred Book. But the current
tongue there and through most of the civilized world was Greek, and not Hebrew. As always,
there were some who felt that the Book and its original language were inseparable. Others revealed
the disposition of which we spoke a moment ago, and set out to make the Book speak
the current tongue. For one hundred and fifty years the work went on, and what we call the
Septuagint was completed. There is a pretty little story which tells how the version got its
name, which means the Seventy--that King Ptolemy Philadelphus, interested in collecting all
sacred books, gathered seventy Hebrew scholars, sent them to the island of Pharos, shut them up
in seventy rooms for seventy days, each making a translation from the Hebrew into the Greek.
When they came out, behold, their translations were all exactly alike! Several difficulties appear
in that story, one of which is that seventy men should have made the same mistakes without
depending on each other. In addition, it is not historically supported, and the fact seems to be
that the Septuagint was a long and slow growth, issuing from the impulse to make the Sacred
Book speak the familiar tongue. And, though it was a Greek translation, it virtually displaced
the original, as the English Bible has virtually displaced the Hebrew and Greek to-day. The
Septuagint was the Old Testament which Paul used. Of one hundred and sixty-eight direct
quotations from the Old Testament in the New nearly all are from the Greek version--from the
translation, and not from the original.” ~~~THE GREATEST ENGLISH CLASSIC: A STUDY OF THE

The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana is the longest bridge not only in the U.S., but also in the world. It is also the longest over-water highway in the world. The causeway, which is 23.83 miles long, consists of two parallel bridges that cross Lake Pontchartrain in southern Louisiana.

Lignite, often referred to as brown coal, is a soft brown combustible sedimentary rock that is formed from naturally compressed peat. It is considered the lowest rank of coal due to its relatively low heat content. It is mined in China, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Greece, Germany, Poland, Serbia, Russia, Turkey, the United States, Canada, India, Australia and many other parts of Europe and it is used almost exclusively as a fuel for steam-electric power generation, but is also mined for contained germanium in China. 25.7% of Germany's electricity comes from lignite power plants,^[1] while in Greece lignite provides about 50% of its power needs.
