As some of you may remember, for a time I blogged on "this day in history". If you are still interested, these two sites are most informing when learning these types of facts.
~~http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/on-this-day/~~
This site is an excelent source for a historical timeline. It is informative, yet simplistic and an easy read.
~~http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history~~
Another excelent source, this site is even more informative, and has a 90-second video compiled ty the History Channel that overviews that day in history.
For you fellow news-junkies. :) I would only recommend this one site...
~~http://www.drudgereport.com/~~
The most-viewed internet news source, DrudgeReport is a site that compiles links to different news stories on the day's news. I look at this every day, and really like it. :) News stories (when available) are added every 10 minutes.
Statistic-fans! The CIA Factbook-online is an EXCELLENT resource!
~~https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html~~
The CIA Factbook website is the highly interactive home to the Central Inteligence Agency's publicized information regarding each country. It includes such things as:
- Geographic factoids
- Population statistics
- Governmant status
- Economic status
- Military Status
- Transportation statistics
...on every single internationaly recognized independent political entity on eath. It is AMAZING!!!
And, of course, there's my other blog, Too Many Boanerges, which I MOST highly recommend. :) hahaha...
