"The heist, which took just seven minutes, was pulled off using an angle grinder and a lift mechanism on a truck to break into the Galerie dโApollon, a first-floor wing of the museum that houses a collection which include the French crown jewels. Nine items were stolen, according to Visegrad 24, however they left behind the largest gem in the emperor's collection - a 140-carat diamond. "

๐ฎ๐ฑ๐บ๐ฒ Israel wants split power between the Democrats and Republicans - The Jerusalem Post
The Jerusalem Post complains that Trump being president with a Republican sweep of both the House and Senate is 'not Israel's preferred scenario'
The author adds: 'Israel is more comfortable with a divided U.S. government, the kind that allows an Israeli leader to balance between Congress and the White House, as Netanyahu did during the Obama years. When Barack Obama pursued policies he opposed, Netanyahu could go around him, appealing directly to Congress, as he famously did in his 2015 address to Congress against the Iran deal.'

TIL the saying that we lose half of our body heat through our head is a misconcepton. In reality it's 10% - i.e in direct proportion to the amount of skin. When you're naked no part of you loses more body heat. The myth originates from misinterpreting a study from a U.S. Army Field Manual study.
