How Pelé became one of the best-paid athletes in the world
How Pelé became one of the best-paid athletes in the world
Who Was? Pelé
Pelé was a Brazilian football (soccer) player. In his time, he was probably the most famous and best-paid athlete in the world.
As part of the Brazilian national team, he helped win World Cup championships in 1958, 1962, and 1970.
Born
Pelé was born on October 23, 1940, in Três Corações, Brazil. He was born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, and the nickname Pelé was apparently without significance.
Football Career
Pelé joined the Santos Football Club in 1956. With Pelé at inside left forward, the team won nine São Paulo league championships, the Libertadores Cup, and the Intercontinental Club Cup. After the 1958 World Cup, he became a Brazilian national hero.
Retirement After initially declaring his retirement in 1974, Pelé agreed to a three-year contract with the New York Cosmos the next year. In 1977 he officially retired after leading the Cosmos to the league championship.
Honors Pelé received the International Peace Award in 1978 and was named Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee. In 2014 the Pelé Museum opened in Santos, Brazil.
“Success isn’t determined by how many times you win, but by how you play the week after you lose.” —Pelé

The history behind the FIFA World Cup
The World Cup is a football tournament hosted every four years by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, also known as FIFA. The tournament began in 1930. It has been held every four years since, except during and just after World War II. Players compete on national teams. The teams represent countries all over the world. At first the tournament was just for men’s teams. Since 1991, however, FIFA has also hosted a Women’s World Cup.
PRES. BARACK OBAMA: Give it up for the champion U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team. They’ve inspired millions of girls to dream bigger, and, by the way, inspired millions of boys to look at girls differently, which is just as important.
The Women’s World Cup is also held once every four years, though not in the same year as the men’s tournament. The World Cup serves as a competition between the best football players in the world, and top players have a chance to become national heroes if they win it all for their country. Today the FIFA World Cup is likely the most popular sporting event in the world, with every tournament drawing billions of eager television viewers.

American Civil War: Battle of Gettysburg
American Civil War: Battle of Gettysburg
In June of 1863, Confederate General Robert E. Lee took his army of Northern Virginia into the north for the second time. The Union commander, George Gordon Meade, was in pursuit. They would ultimately bump into each other here at Gettysburg.
Behind me is the town of Gettysburg, around which the Battle of Gettysburg will be fought. The Battle of Gettysburg started by accident. Literally, troops bumped into each other. General Lee heard that Meade was pursuing him, and Lee concentrated his army. The Union vanguard is already here as well, and they're going to bang into each other north and west of town on McPherson's Ridge.
It's an intense fight. Ultimately, the fight will grow, until north of town, you're going to have the Union XI Corps fighting against the corps under a guy named Richard Ewell. In the end, you're going to have 30,000 Confederates outflank and whip 18,000 Union troops, who retreat back through town to Cemetery Hill, and to Culp's Hill, where we stand now.
And for the next 24 hours, all that happens is that both sides bring the remainder of their troops here, until the Yankees have maybe 90,000 troops, and the Southerners have maybe 70,000 troops. And the Yankees form in the shape of a fishhook. And we are right here on this fishhook, at the end of Culp's Hill here. The Union line will continue along Cemetery Hill behind me, to Cemetery Ridge, and eventually end over on Little Round Top.
The Southerners line up around that line, basically formed on the most distant tree line you can see way off in the distance, OK? If General Lee needs to go from one side of his army to the other, it's six miles. Meade only has to go two and half. Meade is also on the defensive. Meade has more men on a more compact line, and Lee is more strung out. And Meade, finally, has the home field advantage.
On the second day of the battle, Robert E. Lee decided to take 15, 20,000 troops under James Longstreet and attack the Union left. And take maybe 5 to 10,000 and attack Culp's Hill. But the attack on the Union left flank took place first, and the Southerners are going to have to get over there without being seen, opposite the Union line.
Ultimately, the Southern line will attack what's called an echelon, where a couple of brigades moved in, and then a couple more, and a couple more. And ultimately, Longstreet's men will make fierce attacks. First they'll fight at Devil's Den, and Little Round Top, and then onto the wheatfield. And then they actually have found a gap in the middle of the Union line, troops that had gone to reinforce some of the fighting in other areas. But the Confederates can't quite push through it, because wherever they show up, Union reinforcements from inside Meade's strong fishhook position arrive and push the Southerners back.
Ultimately, the bloodiest fighting at Gettysburg, the second day on the south end, will come to a close without a decisive result. And while Longstreet is attacking the Union left flank, the Confederates are beginning a huge artillery bombardment on the Union right flank, here on Culp's Hill. That bombardment wouldn't do anything. The Confederate attack doesn't come for long, until long after, actually, the fighting on the Union left flank is mostly over.
Ultimately, the Southerners will try to attack East Cemetery Hill. They capture part of East Cemetery Hill. They capture nine cannons. This is the key Union position at East Cemetery Hill, and it's about to fall to the Confederates. But again, Union reinforcements push the Confederates back.
The Confederates have a little bit more success here on Culp's Hill. Culp's Hill consists of two hills, an upper hill and a lower hill. This is night fighting, very odd in the Civil War. The Confederates easily capture the lower hill, but they're unable to capture the pinnacle of Culp's Hill.
The next day, the fighting resumes where the Confederates try to capture upper Culp's Hill. The Yankees return with even more reinforcements, not only recapturing their old trenches on lower Culp's Hill that they had lost, but maintaining their possession of upper Culp's Hill. On the third day, having already tested the Union left flank and the Union right flank, the Confederates opted to attack the Union center. And this is what we now know as Pickett's Charge.
Pickett's Charge is going to take place in the fields behind me, and on the afternoon of July 3rd, you're eventually going to have a great moan go up from the Union line. This is after a huge artillery bombardment, but the moan comes not from that, but rather from the beauty and pageantry of a great Confederate assault. 12,000 troops advancing across that field you can see over my shoulder.
The Yankees decimated with long-range artillery. And as they reach the road, Union reinforcements pour into the area. The Union flank falls down. The Confederates are going to get flanked, but nonetheless, they push on impetuously, gain some of the key stone wall in the area. The Yankees are able to, however, push them back. 6,000 of the 12,000 soldiers who made the attack were killed, wounded, or captured. Lee lost 23 battle flags in that attack, more than he'd lost up to that point in a war combined.
Robert E. Lee horribly failed in Pickett's Charge, but the next day, he still stayed here through the rain, across the fields, faced George Gordon Meade, and said, come on, Meade, attack me. Meade did not take the bait. That night, Robert E. Lee pulled back through the mountains. Nine days later, escaped back into Virginia, and the Civil War goes on for almost two more years

Discover the meaning and purpose of the Gettysburg Address delivered by President Abraham Lincoln
Discover the meaning and purpose of the Gettysburg Address delivered by President Abraham Lincoln
The Battle of Gettysburg was the single, bloodiest event to take place in the history of the American Civil War. When it was all said and done, over 10,000 Americans had lost their lives. And from all of this death and devastation, people began to ask themselves a number of important questions.
First and foremost, what does it all mean? What are we to take from all of this death and carnage? Is the preservation of the union or the abolishment of slavery, for that matter, truly worth all of this human loss?
All of these questions would perhaps best be answered four months later in what would become one of the most famous speeches in all of world history. That speech would be the Gettysburg Address, delivered by President Abraham Lincoln right here on this Hillside in Gettysburg.
Lincoln was invited here for a November 19th dedication ceremony to dedicate this Soldier's National Cemetery, the final resting place of over 3,500 Union soldiers who gave their lives in this battle. Lincoln is not the main speaker for this dedication ceremony, and thus he's going to keep his comments rather short and sweet. But that he will eventually rise from the speaker's platform, and he will begin his address by stating that it had only been 87 years earlier that this Nation had been established under the promise that all men are created equal.
He later goes on to say how this awful civil war was worth fighting. Lincoln realized that the fight for freedom in America had been altered here in this very spot.
In Lincoln's view, the United States is the last best hope for free people on earth, and, in his view, that was something that was worth fighting for. And he urges his fellow Americans to consider what is at stake. He speaks of this unfinished work with which this nation must embark on, winning this awful civil war. And indeed, the war would continue, claiming over 620,000 lives in the process, Abraham Lincoln being among the last of them.
Many people in America in the 1860s don't have the basic rights of citizenship. They include women, African-Americans, and Native Americans. Although they don't have the rights of citizenship at this time, it is Lincoln's words, spoken here at Gettysburg, that are embodied in their movements to obtain those basic, American rights, such as casting their vote in an election, letting their voice be heard in a free democracy.
This was some of the work Abraham Lincoln spoke of. And, in many ways, the unfinished work goes on to this very day. Wherever there is oppression, wherever there is injustice, there's work still left to be done. And this is the great task remaining, not only for the generation of the 1860s, but for all generations.

Learn about the advancement in naval technology which influenced the outcome of the American Civil
We're here at Fort Foote, which is one of the Civil War era forts built to protect Washington, DC from the Confederate Navy. For centuries before the Civil War, naval warfare have been fought primarily in the same way. Large wooden ships powered by sail, and filled with as many cannon as they could carry, would pummel each other until one of them was too crippled to continue fighting or to escape.
But in the decades before the Civil War, a number of changes really altered naval warfare forever. The first of these changes was the invention of the steam engine. Steam power changed warfare in a number of different ways. Ships that were powered by steam were more flexible in what they could do, they could move against the wind more easily, and they could supplement their sail power with steam for extra speed. This gave them the ability to maneuver in ways the traditional sail-powered warships couldn't.
The second major change occurred in the realm of artillery. The Civil War was actually fought in the midst of a revolution in artillery that would eventually lead to more modern cannons seen in World War I and beyond. Military officers and engineers, in the decades before the Civil War, developed a number of different techniques for reinforcing the breech of a cannon to make it stronger.
Cannons, like the one behind me, were able to fire larger charges of gunpowder and bigger projectiles farther. This dramatically increased the range of the guns that were used during the war, and was further supplemented by the development of rifling, which were grooves carved in the inside of cannon barrels, and this gave a projectile a spin and made the guns more accurate. New shells were also developed that exploded on impact with ships so that a single shot could sink a wooden warship.
Naval architects on both the North and the South tried to find solutions to this problem. And eventually, they settled on placing ships with iron or steel armor. These ironclads, as they came to be called, came primarily in two different varieties. Casemate ironclads were basically ships that had iron plating attached to the outside. And Monitor-class ironclads, which were small boats or ships that sat low to the water and featured a revolving gun turret.
The first battle between ironclads was fought at Hampton Roads in March of 1862. The CSS Virginia, the Confederate ironclad, attacked blockading Union warships and easily drove them away. The next day, the Union ironclad, the USS Monitor, appeared on the scene, and thew two fought to a standstill.
The battle demonstrated the superiority of ironclads over wooden ships, and also their resilience to traditional naval weapons. This also changed a major axiom of naval warfare. The ship's armor, combined with the added flexibility of movement that a steam engine provided, enabled ships to more easily take on forts. Whereas normally, forts had been protected and had a stable platform for firing that gave them a huge advantage over ships.
Now, ships could steam around and continue moving so that forts we're not shooting at stationary targets. And they could better withstand impacts from guns stationed at forts. This meant the Confederates had to use new weapons to supplement their harbor defenses.
Torpedoes, which today we would call sea mines, were explosives that would be submerged below water and would detonate on the vulnerable hull of a Union warship. Torpedoes were also used as offensive weapons when they were attached to torpedo boats, which were vessels designed to carry the torpedoes on a spar and ram into a Union warship. For the most part, torpedo boats were not very successful, although there were a few instances of them damaging Union warships. Torpedo boats were designed low the water so that they presented a low profile.
Taking the idea one step further, Confederates developed submarines that submerged completely. The first successful submarine attack was carried out by the Confederate submarine HL Hunley in 1864, when it sank the USS Housatonic. The Confederates built other submarines as well, although none of them were particularly successful. Nevertheless, the naval technologies developed during the Civil War changed naval warfare for almost a century after the war. Only the advent of fixed-wing aircraft challenged the superiority of the submarines and battleships that had their origins in the 1860s.

TRANSCRIPT
NARRATOR: It is commonplace today to refer to the American Civil War as a struggle of brother against brother. Americans fought Americans; families were divided by the conflict. While that description conjures images of daguerreotype photos of siblings as Johnny Reb and Billy Yank, it fails to convey the deep political divisions that existed in the North alone. So threatening were those divisions to the war's conduct that President Abraham Lincoln referred to dissent on the home front as "the fire in the rear."
JEFF WALLENFELDT: A large subset of the Democratic Party was adamantly opposed to the war. The politicians among these self-proclaimed Peace Democrats tended to represent Midwestern states, especially Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, where many families had Southern roots and where the agrarian way of life still held sway. They resented the growing dominance of the industrialists in the Republican Party and in the federal government; they disliked the railroad shift of commerce to the East; and they had a special contempt for New England. The Republicans in turn saw the Peace Democrats' opposition to the war as treasonous. They called them Copperheads, after a stealthy, poisonous snake common in the American wilderness.
NARRATOR: The Copperheads wanted not just to negotiate peace and bring the Confederacy back into the fold, they wanted to return to an earlier America. "The Constitution as it is, the Union as it was" was their rallying cry. They resented Lincoln's revoking of the writ of habeas corpus, done largely in response to the Copperheads' efforts to discourage enlistment and support deserters. They called Lincoln a tyrant and accused him of muzzling the press, though prominent newspapers in the North continued to take strong antiwar stands. And the Copperheads repeatedly bemoaned the war's cost in blood and treasure.
JEFF WALLENFELDT: Above all, the Copperheads opposed emancipation. They nakedly exploited Northern racism and white workers' fears that their jobs would be taken by freed slaves willing to work for lower wages. They inveighed against a war the Copperheads claimed was being fought for blacks but that would lower standards of livings for whites. Among those who responded strongest to this message were immigrant groups, especially Irish Catholics in the Northeast, who keenly feared losing their livelihood.
NARRATOR: The introduction of conscription in 1863 gave the Copperheads a new slogan: "Rich man's war, poor man's fight." The law allowed a draftee to pay someone to take his place. It also permitted draftees to pay $300 for exemption from service. However, this commutation fee was seen as beyond the means of most working men. “Three Hundred Dollars or Your Life” read the headlines in Democratic newspapers. In July 1863, as Union and Confederate forces clashed at Gettysburg, the rhetoric and rage that swelled on the home front erupted in four days of violence in New York City that became known as the Draft Riot of 1863. After burning draft offices and attacking police, rioters—many of them immigrants—turned upon African Americans, their property, and their institutions. Union troops had to be recalled from the battlefront to quell the violence.
The war dragged on as the 1864 presidential election approached. Lincoln worried that he would not be reelected and that his cause would crumble. He faced criticism on all sides.
JEFF WALLENFELDT: Radical Republicans scorned the president's plans for reconstruction and thought that Lincoln was moving too slowly towards abolishing slavery. They encouraged the presidential aspirations of the secretary of the treasury, Salmon P. Chase, who was a member of the so-called “Team of Rivals,” the term that historian Doris Kearns Goodwin coined for the political heavyweights Lincoln had brought into his cabinet. Many of them had run against Lincoln for the 1860 nomination. And Chase still harbored that ambition, but he demurred when Lincoln partisans skillfully rallied in support of the president. Some Republicans then backed the candidacy of John C. Frémont, the party's candidate in 1856 and now a Union general without a prominent command.
NARRATOR: Lincoln's biggest challenge, however, came from another frustrated general, George B. McClellan, whom Lincoln had removed as the commander of the Army of the Potomac in 1862. As a War Democrat, McClellan supported continuing the fight but opposed emancipation. Still, McClellan became the presidential candidate for a Democratic Party whose platform was largely grounded in Copperhead policy.
It was widely believed that the votes of Union soldiers would determine the election's outcome. Would their loyalty lie with "Father Abraham" or with their old general? In the end the military vote was less crucial than had been believed. Before the election the Union's fortunes in war improved dramatically, most notably with the fall of Atlanta. Support for Lincoln ballooned, and he was reelected with 55 percent of the popular vote. He had survived the war at home and oversaw the end of the other war.

TRANSCRIPT
Honolulu is on the Island of Oahu, which means gathering place in Hawaiian. And no island's name is more apt than that of the Hawaiian capital. Honolulu is a welcoming and cosmopolitan city, a potpourri of ethnicities and cultures. Globalization has been a reality here for some 300 years. Whale hunters came in English explorer Captain James Cook's wake, then missionaries, later plantations were established, then came the military and, finally, the tourist industry. In 1893 the Americans overthrew the Hawaiian royal family. Today, Honolulu is the Capital of the American state of Hawaii.
The most famous part of Honolulu is Waikiki, where hotels and shopping centers flourish. Big business on a golden beach. Sun and surf are included in the price. It's always summer here, no matter the time of year. With 65,000 visitors a day, Waikiki is one of the most densely populated vacation destinations in the world. Those who wish can soak in the typical Hawaiian traditions. Once a week the Royal Hawaiian Band gives an open air concert in the garden of the royal palace. This is also where Hawaii had its independence violently ripped away from it. Royalists, who would like to see Hawaii become an independent state again, continue to demonstrate on official holidays.
The demigod Maui is something akin to the Hercules of Hawaiian mythology. It's no wonder that he is also the one who is said to have invented surfing. There are no better conditions for this anywhere else on earth than on the shores of the Hawaiian Islands. Honolulu is brimming with life, day and night. The city is like an Amerasian cocktail with a heavy shot of South Seas flair. On the Fourth of July it puts on its American guise. It is Independence Day in America, and time to celebrate with fireworks and barbecues on the beach.

Take a look into the rolls featuring the Act of Union with Scotland (1707)
This is a selection of shots from stock footage taken from the parliamentary archives, featuring the Act of Union with Scotland and the Articles of Union with Scotland. These shots are taken in the act room which is in the Victoria tower at the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London.
You can see the rolls on the shelves which are all the original acts of parliament dating back to 1497. We're now going into the search room which is where members of the public come and do their research and consult the records. I'm carrying in the Act of Union with Scotland in that box, and the articles in the other box.
This is the Act of Union with Scotland coming out of its box. You can see writing on the outside which is the title of the act. And you can read it there. It says, for a union of the two kingdoms of England and Scotland. That's followed by the regnal year, which is five and six Anne-- fifth and sixth years of the reign of Queen Anne.
I'm now unrolling the act. That's a cover sheet on the outside. And then we have the start of the act here. You can see some writing at the very top of the act. That reads, most gracious sovereign, and then La Reyne le veult, which means the queen wishes it. That's the royal assent formula. I'm now rolling the act back up.
I'm now opening the box of the Articles of Union. The Articles of Union is the treaty that was signed by all the commissioners that agreed to the union of England and Scotland. That's the title on the outside there, and the date, 1706.
This is the first page of the Articles of Union which is very nicely decorated. And this is the start of the articles. At the back of the book are the seals and the signatures of the commissioners that agreed to this treaty. The English commissioner's names are on the left and the Scots are on the right. And it goes over onto the next page. Here you can see the articles and the act, side-by-side in the parliamentary archive search room.

Discover the high-tech future of Japanese farming
Junichiro Harai's farmland is found in a chasm cutting between the many buildings in his Japanese city. This is a rare sight, as times are bleak for Japanese agriculture. There are ever fewer farmers and as land is scarce, it is expensive. Many can no longer afford its upkeep.
JUNICHIRO HARAI: "No one just decides to take up farming nowadays. There are fewer and fewer farmers. The property taxes we have to pay when we pass on our farm to the next generation are just too expensive. That's why lots of farmers sell off bits of their land to pay taxes."
NARRATOR: Should Harai's son decide against taking over his father's farm he too will have to sell his plot of farmland. Downtown Tokyo - a temporary employment agency is trying to stir people's interest in farming. They plan to recruit an new generation of farmers with urban agriculture. The idea is to grow crops in the middle of the city. This is the future of Japanese agriculture, an artificial world using high-tech LEDs in lieu of sunshine. A vast cellar has been transformed into a computer-controlled Garden of Eden. What we are marvelling at here is already being put into practice on 30 farms in Japan. Crops on a high-tech farm like this don't just grow as well as plants in nature, they grow even better.
ITZUO KAMIUE: "This type of agriculture will continue to grow in Japan. One of the advantages is that it is independent of weather conditions, making it easier to have a successful and predictable harvest. Furthermore, it's very ecological. We don't have to use chemicals. And this type of farming requires very little previous knowledge, which makes it easier for people to become farmers."
NARRATOR: Hydroponics, or soilless cultivation, is standard practice on farms like these. The cost of electricity is more than offset by the high yields as it is possible to harvest more often than on an outdoor farm. And what is grown is exclusively high-quality and organic, so it fetches a handsome price. However, one of the most convincing arguments for high-tech farms like these is that they save an amazing amount of space. So there are more than enough good reasons to pursue high-tech urban farming, thus creating a promising outlook for the next generation of Japanese farmers.

How talkies replaced silent films
On October 6, 1927, Warner Brothers released The Jazz Singer, the first feature-length film with synchronized dialogue.
AL JOLSON: Wait a minute. You ain't heard nothing yet.
SPEAKER 1: The release marked the beginning of the end of the silent film era. The term silent film is somewhat misleading, as silent films were often accompanied by live music, played by anyone from a single musician to a full orchestra. In fact, from the very beginning of cinema, people such as Thomas Edison and William Dickson had been trying to combine film and audio.
[PLAYING VIOLIN]
But it was only in the mid-1920s that Hollywood began seriously considering utilizing synchronized sound in feature films. It was then that Warner Brothers used a sound-on-disk system called Vitaphone to incorporate a completely synchronized score.
WILL HAYS: Through this public demonstration of the Vitaphone, synchronizing the reproduction of sound with the reproduction of action.
SPEAKER 1: Performed by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra into the 1926 film Don Juan. After that movie's success, Warner Brothers immediately began production of The Jazz Singer, using the same system to include dialogue, in addition to the musical score.
The inclusion of synchronized sound altered the landscape of filmmaking. Cameras, being noisy, were sequestered into soundproof booths, robbing them of free movement. Directors could no longer vocally direct actors while filming, since the microphones would pick up the sound. Furthermore, many actors' voices didn't fit their onscreen image or were heavily accented, leading to many silent film stars being unable to transition to talking films.
Despite it all, sound in movies led to major increases in profit for studios. By 1933, most technical problems had been resolved, leading to a new era of film.
AL JOLSON: (SINGING) Nothing but blue skies from now on. Did you like that, Mama?

Discover strange facts about foods such as chocolate, peanuts, Caesar salad, proof spirit, and ackee
If you are what you eat, what you are is pretty weird
Chocolate was so valuable to the ancient Aztec and Maya that they used cocoa beans as currency.
Peanuts are classified as legumes. This technically makes them beans, not nuts.
Caesar salad has nothing to do with the Roman emperor. It was created in 1924 by Caesar Cardini, an Italian restaurant owner in Tijuana, Mexico.
Before the English government standardized the threshold to determine if an alcoholic beverage was a "proof spirit," they'd dip a bullet in the liquor and see if they could light it on fire, and they would tax it higher if they could.
Eating unripe food can kill, at least in the case of Jamaica's national fruit: ackee, introduced to the Caribbean by African slaves, is toxic and even fatal if its flesh is eaten before it has ripened.

TRANSCRIPT
The origins of the Halloween holiday date back thousands of years. Here is the story of the traces of the original lore that remain and how we went from carving turnips in the British Isles to spending $3 billion on candy annually in the United States. Halloween as we know it is a secular celebration with roots in the Celtic harvest festival of Samhain, which was observed in ancient Britain and Ireland on November 1st. Samhain marked the halfway point between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice, the beginning of the new year. This coincided with a seasonal harvest and the start of winter preparations. This was also the day during which the Celts believed that the veil between the mortal and the supernatural was thinnest. Priests held rituals, and people lit bonfires to brighten the dark to scare away supernatural beings. People donned masks to disguise themselves from the ghosts, faeries, and demons that were thought to roam this night. In the 7th century, Pope Boniface IV established All Saints’ Day in May. The date of this celebration was later moved to November 1st, possibly to overshadow any pagan traditions of Samhain, possibly because coinciding with the harvest meant there were more resources available at that time of year. Either way, this made the night before, October 31st, All Saints’ Eve or All Hallows’ Eve, hence Halloween. Later, All Souls’ Day was proclaimed on November 2nd, introducing another Christian religious holiday to the period. Together, beginning with Halloween on October 31st, these three days are sometimes called Allhallowtide. By the end of the 15th century, All Hallows’ Eve had become a blend of sacred and secular. Secular celebrations remained especially strong in Britain, Ireland, and Scotland. One of the customs in Ireland in the 1800s involved carving vegetables—usually turnips, potatoes, or beets—into frightening faces to scare off spirits. These designs evolved to hold candles, as metal lanterns were prohibitively expensive for most people. A museum in Ireland is still exhibiting a preserved “ghost turnip” today. When a number of Irish people immigrated to the United States in the mid-1800s to escape the Great Famine, they brought their Halloween traditions with them. They found pumpkins and other gourds, native to America, especially suitable for carving, giving rise to the now ubiquitous jack o’lanterns. Halloween grew in popularity, becoming one of the primary holidays in the United States by the 20th century. And don’t even get us started on the history of trick-or-treating.

PHILIPPE DE MONTEBELLO: When you study history, you are reading about events, but you are not experiencing them. When you look at a great Chinese painting of the Ming dynasty, you are in a sense in the Ming dynasty. You've—you've—you've taken a time machine. The picture is of that time—of its time and of our time. It—it's a magical experience.

TRANSCRIPT
The Eurovision Song Contest is an international annual music competition held by the European Broadcasting Union. Often known simply as Eurovision, the annual singing contest is held in May and has featured contestants from over 50 countries. The participating countries are each represented by an artist and song chosen by the country’s public broadcasting service. The first Eurovision was held on May 24, 1956, in Lugano, Switzerland. It was heralded as one of the first attempts to televise a live event to a large international audience. Over the course of the next seven decades, the number of participants in the annual competition grew from just seven countries to more than 40. Similar to the Olympics, Eurovision has become an international spectacle, with some political aspects becoming almost as prominent as the music itself. For example, host countries such as Azerbaijan in 2012 have had their human rights records scrutinized and protested, and in 2022 Russia was removed from the contest following its invasion of Ukraine. In the Eurovision finals, the winner is decided by a point system, where each participating country awards their favorite performances a pair of points on a scale of 1 to 12. In addition to a cash prize, the victor wins their country the right to host the next year’s contest. While winning the competition is not guaranteed to bring a musician future success, many Eurovision winners have had their careers launched by the victory. Eurovision winners have included ABBA, Sweden’s representative in 1974, as well as Celine Dion, Switzerland’s representative in 1988.

Making a Pebble Cup from start to finish - Satisfying Pottery
The full process of making a Pebble Cup/Mug.
First, the clay needs to be wedged and weighed. I'm throwing a medium size here, so I use 350g of clay for a finished capacity of around 350ml.
Then the mug is thrown. This is the stage that people think of handmade mugs, but in reality it's one of the faster processes. The clay is centred first, then opened, and the walls are pulled up. I then use a rib to smooth the inside as any marks left in the wall will show when it's stamped.
The body is left on the batt overnight before being brought back to the wheel and trimmed. This lets me reduce the weight before adding the stamped pattern, as it wouldn't be possible afterwards.
I use a pebble I found in the woods next to the studio to stamp the pattern into the clay. I try and be as random as possible with the size and depth of the pattern as it gives a really nice variety to the glaze flow.
They're left in a sealed plastic box overnight to firm up a little more. The handles are extruded and left until they are the same level of dryness as the body (the time varies with the weather), then the foot of the mug is trimmed and the handles are attached.
The mugs are then left to dry slowly for about a week before they're loaded into a bisque firing (1025°c), which turns the clay into ceramic. They can now be glazed.
I wax resist the foot of the piece, allowing my car dent puller to grip them. I glaze the outside first, then pour the glaze into the inside. The glazes used here are Selsor Chun, Heath A2V Ivory, and Floating Blue, and the recipes are on glazy.org.
They are then left overnight to dry before being loaded into a cone six (approx 1200°c) firing, where the glazes melt together and flow over the stamped texture to form the final pattern.
There are guides that go into a bit more depth on my blog: https://www.oldforgecreations.co.uk/blog but if you have any questions, post them in the comments and I'll answer as best I can!

133 Days on the Sun
This video chronicles solar activity from Aug. 12 to Dec. 22, 2022, as captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). From its orbit in space around Earth, SDO has steadily imaged the Sun in 4K x 4K resolution for nearly 13 years. This information has enabled countless new discoveries about the workings of our closest star and how it influences the solar system.
With a triad of instruments, SDO captures an image of the Sun every 0.75 seconds. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument alone captures images every 12 seconds at 10 different wavelengths of light. This 133-day time lapse showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers, which is an extreme-ultraviolet wavelength that shows the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer: the corona. Compiling images taken 108 seconds apart, the movie condenses 133 days, or about four months, of solar observations into 59 minutes. The video shows bright active regions passing across the face of the Sun as it rotates. The Sun rotates approximately once every 27 days. The loops extending above the bright regions are magnetic fields that have trapped hot, glowing plasma. These bright regions are also the source of solar flares, which appear as bright flashes as magnetic fields snap together in a process called magnetic reconnection.
While SDO has kept an unblinking eye pointed toward the Sun, there have been a few moments it missed. Some of the dark frames in the video are caused by Earth or the Moon eclipsing SDO as they pass between the spacecraft and the Sun. Other blackouts are caused by instrumentation being down or data errors. SDO transmits 1.4 terabytes of data to the ground every day. The images where the Sun is off-center were observed when SDO was calibrating its instruments.
SDO and other NASA missions will continue to watch our Sun in the years to come, providing further insights about our place in space and information to keep our astronauts and assets safe.
The music is a continuous mix from Lars Leonhard’s “Geometric Shapes” album, courtesy of the artist.

Video Description:
On the left side of the frame is the full circle of the Sun. It appears in a golden yellow color, but splotchy and with thin yellow wisps extending from the surface. Some areas are very bright and others almost black. The whole Sun rotates steadily, with one full rotation taking 12 minutes in this time lapse. There are usually only a few bright regions visible at a time and they shift and flash like small fires. From these regions there are wispy loops reaching up above the surface that rapidly change shape and size.
On the right side of the frame are two white-outlined squares with enlargements of interesting regions of the Sun.
