In Ancient Rome, an "office" wasn't a building, it was a person's staff. The word comes from “officium”, referring to a magistrate's retinue of aides and administrators, each one called an officialis. If you held real authority, your "office" was the group of people around you handling correspondence, records, and logistics on your behalf.

This wasn't a small operation. Surviving records like the Notitia Dignitatum, a late Roman administrative document, list out the staffing structures for provincial governors and military commanders in detail: ranks, roles, and reporting lines not far off from a modern org chart. Coordination happened the only way it could: in person, in the same building, one conversation at a time.

It wasn't until the word crossed into English in the 1200s that "office" started to mean a place instead of a role, and even later before it came to mean the literal room or building we picture today. For most of its history, the word wasn't about where you worked. It was about who was working with you.

Video shows forest fires burning around a freight train in rural Canada, with the crew fearing the flames could reach them as bright orange flames surrounded the stranded train outside Armstrong, Ontario, late Tuesday. “This could potentially overtake us here, this has gotten a little scary,” one crew member told the operator as the wildfire moved closer to the locomotive. “Y’all need to hurry up here. Seriously. We’re encased in flames.”

In 1913, a 10-year-old black girl named Sarah Rector received a land allotment of 160 acres in Oklahoma. The best farming land was reserved for whites, leaving her with a barren plot, but oil was discovered on her property and she became one of first black millionaires in America.

Sarah Rector was born in 1902 in Creek Nation in the community of Twine, Oklahoma. She came from very humble beginnings, but later became the wealthiest Black girl in the country at the young age of 11.
Her family were Black American members of the Muscogee Creek Nation in Indian Territory.
Her grandparents had been enslaved by Creek Tribe members, but after the Civil War, they were entitled to land allotments under the Dawes Allotment Act of 1887. When Indian territory integrated with Oklahoma territory to form the state of Oklahoma in 1907, hundreds of Black children referred to back then as “Creek Freedmen minors,” were each granted 160 acres of land.
Rector's allotment was located in the middle of the Glenn Pool oil field and was initially valued at about $550. In 1911, her father decided to lease his daughter’s piece of land to a major oil company to help pay for the property taxes. And then in 1913, everything changed.
According to Searching for Sarah Rector: The Richest Black Girl in America by Tonya Bolden, an independent driller struck oil that started bringing in 2,500 barrels or 105,000 gallons per day. Rector, still being the owner of the land, began earning more than $300 a day (the equivalent of about $7,500 a day in our time).
Suddenly, she began getting a lot of national attention from newspapers all over the country. For example, The Kansas City Star published the headline, “Millions to a Negro Girl – Sarah Rector, 10-Year Old, Has Income of $300 A Day From Oil.” Meanwhile, another newspaper, The Savannah Tribune, published the headline, “Oil Well Produces Neat Income – Negro Girl’s $112,000 A Year.”
Rector quickly became famous and naturally started receiving all kinds of request for loans, donations, and even marriage proposals.
Sadly though, there was a law at the time that required wealthy Native Americans and African Americans who were citizens of Indian Territory to be assigned a “well-respected” white guardian. As a result, Rector’s guardianship was turned over to a white man named T.J. Porter.
But reportedly W.E.B. Du Bois and the NAACP got involved to protect her wealth and well-being, and were able to successfully do so. She later went on to own one of the first Black-owned auto dealerships in the country, and reportedly enjoyed her wealth until the day she died!

To humans, a tiger is bright orange. But deer and wild boars have dichromatic vision, so they see dull greenish-brown tones that help the tiger blend into its surroundings

What a smart dog!

👍On July 7, in Heyuan, Guangdong, China, at a rural household, the owner was out, with corn drying in the courtyard. The sky suddenly darkened, a heavy rain imminent, and the owner was deeply worried that the corn would be soaked by rainwater, leading to mold and spoilage!

😎Upon returning home, she was astonished to find that the corn was already securely covered with a waterproof tarp. Only by reviewing the surveillance footage did she learn that their Golden Retriever had noticed the weather turning overcast and proactively tugged the waterproof tarp with its mouth, carefully covering all the corn.

Not long after, the downpour began. The dog quietly guarded the owner's harvest and deserves extra chicken drumsticks‼️

Phoenix Fire Department has become one of the only departments in the country to employ a new, life-saving tactic to bring people suffering from extreme heat back from the brink — and our CBS News' @krisvancleave was a test dummy for it.

The treatment, which involves lots of ice and a cooler bag, usually works in just minutes, the fire department says.
