Tensions between the American colonists and the British were already running high when a crowd of jeering Bostonians slinging snowballs gathered around a small group of British soldiers guarding the Boston Customs House. Private Hugh Montgomery was hit, leading him to discharge his rifle at the crowd. The other soldiers began firing a moment later, and when the smoke cleared, five colonists were dead.

PGXCQDAMAYEM CQD 4 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: CQD Answer: CQD is one of the first distress signals adopted for radio use prior to SOS. It was established on February 1, 1904 by the Marconi International Marine Communication Company. "CQD" was understood by wireless operators to mean, "All stations: distress." On April 15, 1912, RMS Titanic radio operator Jack Phillips initially sent "CQD", which was still commonly used by British ships. Harold Bride, the junior radio operator, suggested using "SOS", saying half-jokingly that it might be his last chance to use the new code. Phillips thereafter began to alternate between the two. Though Bride survived the sinking, Phillips did not. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

AspirinVinegarSaltBleach Aspirin 4 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: ASPRIN Answer: Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is the most common drug in household medicine cabinets. Acetylsalicylic acid was originally made from a chemical found in the bark of willow trees. In 1897, Bayer employee Felix Hoffmann found a way to create a stable form of the drug that was easier and more pleasant to take. After obtaining the patent rights, Bayer began distributing aspirin in powder form to physicians to give to their patients. The brand name came from “a” for acetyl, “spir” from the spirea plant (a source of salicin) and the suffix “in,” commonly used for medications. It quickly became the number-one drug worldwide.
