I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters.
In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.

‘Phonetic’ is not.
‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters.
‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym.

Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

On this day in 1959, "The Sound of Music" premiered on Broadway. The Library's Music Division is home to Oscar Hammerstein’s lyric sheets, which show us how his first draft of "My Favorite Things" evolved to become the song we know and love today.

NEW: How much snow leads to a snow day across the US?

My latest visual story diving into snow days and how many inches of snow on average cause school closures in different places across the country ❄️❄️

This picture of Hutch may go unnoticed by some, but pay attention to the Latin words on his shirt, “Resurget Cineribus” — To Rise from the ashes.

History Lesson:

For those who may find this puzzling, in 1805, the entire city of Detroit burned to the ground, leaving only one building standing. In the aftermath, Territorial Judge Augustus Woodward devised a street plan modeled after Washington, D.C. The layout mirrored the design of the nation’s capital, featuring diagonal streets radiating like the spokes of a wheel.

On the Detroit City Flag, the inscription reads, “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus,” translating to “We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes.” The City of Detroit literally rose from the ashes, symbolizing rebirth and resilience.

The city motto and the sports teams share a profound connection, especially in recent years with the consistent rebuilding efforts of each team. The Lions embody the essence of the motto, “Rise from ashes.” Just three years ago, the Detroit Lions had a first-year coach, an underrated quarterback, and a dismal 3-13-1 record. Today, they stand just one game away from a Super Bowl appearance.

So when the nation wonders why this Lions’ journey is so extraordinary, it’s because it mirrors the unique spirit of Detroit. Through unwavering determination and hard work, we rebuild until the product is perfected. Throughout history, there have been moments when Detroit moved the world, and now, once again, the city and its football team rise from the ashes to inspire us all.

something i miss about college life is that you didn't have to schedule things to socialize. you'd just go someone's dorm or a party. and when you had your fill, you'd just go home. now you have to schedule things 2 wks in advance and pray you still feel like socializing then

James Hemings, brother to Sally Hemings was the first American to train as a chef in France. He was enslaved by Thomas Jefferson at 8.

The Chef de cuisine is the reason macaroni and cheese made it to America.

12 years ago today, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake shook & startled the #WashingtonDC region. The Washington Monument sustained damage to its marble exterior, but remained structurally sound. Repairs were completed in 2014.

Yes, there is a typo in the Lincoln Memorial. In Lincoln's Second Inaugural Speech, the word "FUTURE" was originally engraved as "EUTURE." Since filled in, the error is a reminder that even when working on an iconic memorial, people make mistakes and no one is perfect.
