The secret history of my hometown
I grew up in a town on Lake Erie that was once known by its Native American name, Xeuma. It was later known, along with other neighboring towns, as the French Creek District, followed by its present name, Avon Lake. If you grew up in the Cleveland area, you probably know Avon Lake as a “new” suburb. But Avon Lake is not new, and its history is just as rich as Cleveland’s. While the city of Cleveland sits on what was once a no-man’s land, Avon Lake was home to Native American tribes living along the French Creek.

"Top chameleon" Murdoch
The world's 'most influential People. In 1985, when 20th Century Fox was in trouble, Murdoch took a swing and overpaid for its stock. He also bought seven other television stations to form Fox television, even selling two of his newspapers to do so. In the same year, Murdoch acquired six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington D.C. under the former fourth largest TV group "Metro Media Corporation" with 1.5 billion DOLLARS, thus sensational the Western world with "Murdoch whirlwind". However, U.S. law prohibits non-citizens from owning both a newspaper and a television station. Murdoch even took American citizenship to launch his own network. In September 2010, The British magazine New Politico put out a list of the 50 most powerful people in the world based on their power and influence around the world, and Murdoch topped the list.

Holocaust Survivors
The Holocaust (1933–1945) was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million European Jews by the Nazi German regime and its allies and collaborators.1 The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum defines the years of the Holocaust as 1933–1945. The Holocaust era began in January 1933 when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in Germany. It ended in May 1945, when the Allied Powers defeated Nazi Germany in World War II. The Holocaust is also sometimes referred to as “the Shoah,” the Hebrew word for “catastrophe.”

Little Treasures of History Or how Ragnar Lodbrok and Hamlet Turned out to be Cousins
One of my hobbies is medieval history, especially the Viking Age. Perhaps my distant Danish ancestors (there are some in my family’s genealogical tree) have something to do with it. But, anyway, I love digging through history books, reading medieval chronicles, and — in this case — Scandinavian sagas. When you delve deep enough into the specific historical era, your brain starts ticking on its own. It suddenly picks up unexpected coincidences and facts that you might otherwise never think about. Sometimes these facts can be unpredictable to the edge of paradox.

Today's Lesson is Life in the Elizabethan Era
Good Queen Bess was popular with her people, especially towards the end of her 45 year reign. After the domineering reign of her sister, “Bloody Mary”, Elizabeth brought England back to the Protestant faith and refused to persecute Catholics or put them to death, especially after her sister had executed over 300 Protestants. Also, Elizabeth I never married, calling “England” her husband, showing how much she cared for her people. Elizabeth I was one of the longest reigning Queens of England, many of her people never knowing any other Queen (or King)!
