The Last Hotel
The guesthouse run by Dorothea Puente, a well-behaved old lady in Sacramento, California, was a place of exquisite luxury. But being a guest there was life-threatening: the grandmother murdered her guests for the money and checks they had on them.
In all, she killed at least 15 people over several years. In 1988 she was sentenced to life imprisonment. The murdering grandmother died in prison at the age of 82.

"That Tantour horn, which Syrian women still use as a head jewelry and to attach the veil like bold Amazons carried on the head is only one of the remnants of the once ancient rule of Egypt over the districts of Syria... as in the temple of the sun at Baalbek [Heliopolis]; in the Haraine buildings no less than in the antiquities of the Galilean coast country we encounter the clearest traces of ancient Egyptian god symbols."

Panther tank history
Beginning in 1941, the Germans had to face the formidable Soviet tank T-34 and they did not really have enough armored vehicles to counter it. The German army immediately decided to create a tank capable of reinforcing its armored fleet.
After studies on T-34s captured on the eastern front, the first prototype was built in September 1942 by MAN. Production is immediately launched, and the armor requirements of the German Army are so strong that other companies, such as DB, Henschel and Maschinenfabrik Niedersachsen, also receive orders.
The PzKpfw V Panther received his baptism of fire on the eastern front in July 1943, despite the imposing mass of its armor (though rather weak on the side faces). Extremely efficient, Soviet tanks accused of heavy Losses and can hardly resist the attacks of the PzKpfw V Panther. On average, they must sacrifice nine of their T-34s to destroy a Panther.

The manufacture of this tank stopped in March 1945, when the allied bombing of German weapons factories had already very slowly slowed down the monthly production of the Panther tank, considered as one of the best German tanks of the whole of the Second World War, after the Tiger tank.
