On This Day in History - January 15, 1942
January 15, 1942 #OTD World War II: German submarine U-123 (Pictured Left) surfaced so close to New York Harbor that the rides at Coney Island could be seen silhouetted against the evening sky. Captain Reinhard Hardegen expected the U.S. east coast to be blacked out after more than a month at war and was surprised to see the glow in the sky from Manhattan's millions of lights.

Roxelana Hurrem Sultan
I believe women like her only come once in centuries. Her qualities and resilience is admirable. The fact that she, an ordinary Slavic girl, not only survived the local snake's den, but was also able to get to the very top, makes her story unique and at the same time terribly sad
