Studying history helps us understand how past events have shaped the present. We not only learn about ourselves and how we came to be but also develop the ability to avoid mistakes and create better paths for our societies.
So, join us in taking a look at the Twitter account 'Historic Vids.' It shares daily lessons supplemented with vibrant images that perfectly illustrate them. Whether it's a secret photo of Stalin dealing with the news that Nazis invaded the Soviet Union or a portrait of a regular family during the Spanish flu, they will definitely broaden your horizons.

There was a movie made in the early 70s, I think, about this. She was the only survivor and was infested with tsetse fly larva. These little nasties plant their eggs under the skin and slowly the larvae emerge as the tissue dies. At one point she found or was found by an indigenous tribe that helped remove some of these parasites. Her father was a research scientist in the jungle and that's where she was headed. They reunited and she spent a decent amount of time in the hospital while being treated for malnutrition, parasite infestations, etc. I remember seeing the movie a couple of times as a pre-teen in the late 70s so I could be misremembering some of the details.
I never saw the movie but read an article. You are correct about the larvae. She picked them with a piece of metal. Bear Grylls got nothing over her.

She's now a mammalogist specializing in bats! :D Also, her parents seem to have Wikipedia pages for their scientific achievements!

Pushed not sucked. The air inside the plane pushes you out because the density outside is lower
How many of us could survive 10 days in the amazonian jungles, being healthy and uninjured?
She had a slight advantage over somebody, say.... like ME....who might crash in the jungle and who has ZERO survival skills...... in that she grew up in the jungle as her parents were researchers and lived in the vicinity.....still a very brave and intelligent young girl.
You should check out her story on You Tube. She went through quite a lot.
The Learning/Discovery channel had a documentary about her. Wow! Bot flies, Eww
there are sitill quite a few in Italy, France, Spain : voie-romai...b972f6.jpg 
"Sorry Boss, the beer was getting too bubbly, I had to drink it or it would go bad" ;D
My grandmother had one of those in her house. It's for warming gloves and socks, not bread
The photo is "blind girl" taken in Hiroshima by Christer Strömholm. He took haunting pictures of the victims of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The close-up of a blind girl with scars on her face is surely the most well known of the series. Once seen, it is never forgotten. Like most of Strömholm’s photographs, this one seems unpolished and shadowed, since it was taken spontaneously and in the light available. Using the existing light was a central credo to him. Disturbingly, Strömholm confronts the viewer with a reality that is taboo and all too eagerly repressed. He lets the viewer experience unadorned human suffering without compromising the dignity of those he portrays. The girl stayed anonymous..The photo is often claimed to show the face of a girl blinded by the nuclear bomb. This seems unlikely, since the girl appears younger than 18 years. It is also possible that the photo was taken earlier but not published until 1963.
Revealing her vagina would have had serious irreversible health consequences. You might be talking about vulva perhaps?
Very healthy diets these tribal people had. I'm sure it's the same with New Guinea tribes as well. (Look it up. It's very good for inducing insomnia and waking nightmares.) I think one of the rockerfellers was their "guest" too.
So accurate. We all live in our own filter bubbles now.
Legend has it that Frank secretly resented Dean Martin because Dean could just show up and smooooth out songs while Frank worked his asss off..... Dean Martin was LEAGUES better than Sinatra, imo, and less of an assshole...... though Frank did have his moments of going to bat for folks, especially Sammy....
If that was actual bone growth around the spike then he survived for some time after injury. Can't speculate how long he could have lived or how mentally and physically challenged he would have been. If it is just museum repair job to hold spike in place, then it would mean he did not survive injury.

Once again, the same old pictures, over and over. Can’t anybody come up with something new?
I don't like the exaggerated titles "teach you more than school books"
I can't reply and hope you see that i answered you someday :) ...thank you so much - this means a lot more to me than you might think! I would love to hear more about your journey - i'm trying to start mine for a long time but somehow stuck in this "phase". And now you helped me to take action...THANK YOU!!
