Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.
“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

At the Smithsonian's natural History Museum, which houses the Hope Diamond. Along list of thieves and owners (from 1642 on) brought it to the United States in the early 20th c. Finally, Harry Winston donated the pared-down 45.5 carat diamond to the Smithsonian in 1958. It's insured for $250 million

The exhale of relief I just had to see that this man is alive… now they just send him home.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

In the valley of the kings on the West Bank in Luxor at the temple for Hatshepsut. Three large statues of her, but also a lot of defaced images. The last picture shows out how her name in the cartouche was painted over (by an upset step son, Thutmose III)
