  • Trump Talks About America’s History

  • Which US State Has “Yankee Doodle” As Its Official State Song?

    Did You Know!

    One rarely known fact about Hawaii is that the Hawaiian alphabet is one of the shortest alphabets in the world. Modern Hawaiian uses just 13 letters: five vowels—A, E, I, O, and U—seven consonants—H, K, L, M, N, P, and W—and the ʻokina, a symbol that represents a brief glottal stop in pronunciation.

    The ʻokina may look like an apostrophe, but in Hawaiian it is considered an actual letter and can completely change how a word is pronounced. Hawaiian also uses the kahakō, a small line placed over a vowel, to show that the vowel sound should be held longer.

    Because these marks affect both pronunciation and meaning, spelling Hawaiian place names correctly can be more important than many visitors realize. The language was once discouraged in schools, but major revitalization efforts beginning in the late 20th century helped bring Hawaiian back into classrooms, media, government, and everyday cultural life. Today, Hawaiian is one of the official languages of the state alongside English.

  • The Last Blockbuster In The World

    📼🇺🇸 The last remaining Blockbuster store in the world is still standing in Bend, Oregon, at 211 NE Revere Avenue. Once part of a massive video rental empire with thousands of locations, this store has become a nostalgic time capsule filled with DVDs, movie posters, classic blue-and-yellow branding, and memories of Friday-night trips to pick out a film. For anyone who remembers the days before streaming, it’s a fascinating piece of American pop-culture history that somehow survived when every other Blockbuster disappeared.

  • What Does A Haberdashery Sell?

    Did You Know!

    A rarely known fact about Nevada is that it is one of the most mountainous states in the entire country, with hundreds of separate mountain ranges stretching across its landscape. Many people think of Nevada mainly as desert because of Las Vegas and the vast open areas seen from major highways, but much of the state is made up of rugged mountain chains, high valleys, and elevated basins. In fact, Nevada has more named mountain ranges than any other U.S. state, and many of them are surprisingly remote. Some peaks rise above 10,000 feet, creating environments that are dramatically cooler and greener than the surrounding desert. This unusual geography helps explain why Nevada can have scorching desert temperatures in one area while snow remains on high mountain peaks not far away.

When a cheetah is on the chase, impalas can seem to almost fly across the landscape, using explosive jumps and sudden changes of direction to stay one step ahead of one of the world’s fastest predators.
