In honor of Eurovision - Laika Party wasn't exactly a party... 😢 #eurovision #esc
If you‘re watching Eurovisioon and wondering about Laika: she was a captured Moscow stray. The Soviets sent her into space in 1957 aboard Sputnik 2. She was sent in space to die, which she did, after overheating, hours into the flight, on the craft's fourth orbit. The craft‘s cooling system failed.

Got my Ph.D. in 2008 - this spring, I finally broke down and bought my regalia. The timing is either completely right or completely wrong (but I do need it for commencement and I refuse to rent the sweaty, threadworn $74 version one more year...).

I didn't attend the AHA meeting this year. But these are important questions - who decides how political, and in which ways/areas, AHA should be? I agree with the role of the historian as a "disrupter". I'd also like a clear answer as to why this majority-approved resolution on Gaza was vetoed?

They analyzed "grinding" stones and found they weren't used to grind grains. Further analysis showed they weren't grinding stones but pounding stones for pounding starches/nuts.
Says they didn't make bread. They ate grains in forms like oatmeal or oatmeal cakes.
