America’s Official Fur Trade Museum, The Museum Of The Fur Trade, Is Right Here In Nebraska
There’s no better way to learn about the past than by visiting a museum. Nebraska has many of them; in fact, it seems like there’s at least one museum in every town. There’s one in western Nebraska that’s full of fascinating, little-known history – and it’s the only one of its kind on the planet.

The Museum of the Fur Trade is located three miles east of Chadron in western Nebraska. The one-of-a-kind attraction opened in 1949 on the former site of the Bordeaux Trading Post, which was established in 1837.

Because there is no gravity in space, there is no natural convection, which means body heat won’t rise off the skin. Because of this, the body will constantly perspire to cool itself but, unfortunately, the sweat won’t drip or evaporate—it will just build up.

Don't sweat the small stuff

If you shoot say a cannon ball horizontal to the Earth's surface, it goes out and falls to the ground obviously.  If you shoot it faster, it goes further.  If you shoot it at around 17,500 mph, it goes out (assume no air) and falls just as the Earth's surface curves.

It's in "free fall".  Gravity keeps it from going on out into space and makes it curve, but it now conforms to the roundness of the Earth, and that is what it's like to be in orbit.  There is plenty of gravity around, but you are falling so you don't experience it.

At about 25,000 mph, you leave the Earth's gravitational well entirely and are headed out into the Solar System, somewhere.

In 1956, John McCarthy invented the word "artificial intelligence."

Mayans used chocolate in baptisms and in marriage ceremonies. It was also sometimes used in the place of blood during ceremonies. Mayan emperors were often buried with jars of chocolate by their side.

On April 18, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and Gen. William T. Sherman negotiated the largest surrender of the American Civil War. Roughly 90,000 Confederates in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida were to lay down their arms. The memorandum or basis of agreement issued on the 18th established an armistice while both sides sought approval for the agreement which provided, among other things, for the return of arms, re-establishment of federal courts, and granting of general amnesty to both soldiers and citizens. Secretary of War, William Stanton believed Sherman had gone too far in addressing civil matters and sent the generals back to the drawing board.

Sherman and Johnston reconvened on April 26 at the Bennett Place, and Gen. John M. Schofield drafted terms that closely resembled the Appomattox terms. Hostilities were to cease, each brigade could keep 1/7 of its small arms, the rest were to be deposited at their state capitols, all officers and men would be paroled upon taking a loyalty oath, soldiers were to retain their horses and private property, and the U.S. army would provide field, rail, and water transportation to the newly paroled troops. Sherman also furnished 250,000 rations for his former foes.
