#472 The first authentic case of human recovery by artificial respiration was reported in 1744,
concerning the resuscitation of a suffocated miner using the mouth-to-mouth technique.
(Joseph Black discovered carbon dioxide in 1754).

Hong Ge (284 ~ 364 AD) wrote that a reed pipe was inserted from the mouth to the throat and another person blew through it after blocking the nostrils. https://cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13019-020-1086-5#472 The first authentic case of human recovery by artificial respiration was reported in 1744,

Thanks. That's a great article. I only focus on western medicine.
Although, technically those are "guidelines" and do not mention any specific cases (and whether or not it helped a patient).
But they're detailed enough to be genuine and actually work.
The story of "saving the hanged man" sounds authentic, but is also an example.
But more than a hundred years earlier we have an example from China about the fianceé hanging himself.
What's with all these people hanging themselves?

#473 Although popular culture has embraced the myth that sunflowers always follow the sun (heliotropism), this is inaccurate. Only young flowers “move” to face it throughout the day. Once they reach maturity, they stop sun-tracking—their blooms forever turned eastward towards the Great Eye of Mordor.
You had me at "Mordor."
#474 A 'bascule light' or 'tipping lantern' is a simple construction to raise a large lantern in lieu of a proper light house.

I am in a small Danish coastal town and thought I saw a trebuchet. "Cool" I thought and went closer, only to discover a "vippefyr". Something I had never heard of. It's an exact replica and still functional.

"The original vippefyr, the first of its kind, was built in 1627."

#476 In 1946 and 1947 The U.S. Treasury Department listed Betty Grable as the highest-salaried American woman; she earned more than $3 million during her career.
And her bathing suit poster made her the number-one pin-up girl of WWII.

Yet, it's still legal and popular.

#478 Early plastic model kits manufactured in USSR lacked not only decals and paint schemes, but the western planes were not even identified on the box. Interestingly, those kits that were exported to the west, while still of dubious quality, had both decals and correct boxes.
#479 Most political parties in Brazil have very misleading names:
- The Democrats represent the former party of the military dictatorship.
- The Social Democrats advocate a liberalist agenda.
- The Green Party is not obligated to green/environmental policies.
- The Progressive Party is reactionary.
- The Republicans have a strong association with the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God.*
- The Brazilian Women's Party have fewer female politicians than the (already low) Brazilian average.
*Not sure how big a discrepancy that is, but the author seems to think so:

The corpse of the formerly mainstream Green Party in Slovenia was hijacked by people who secretly support the major right-wing party and shill for them (apart from publishing inconsequential pro-green stuff). Source: I know these guys personally and they are privately very frank about being part of the very organized propaganda machine of the right-wing party.
So, just like in the US, then?
#480 One of the first reported cases of foreign accent syndrome (FAS) was in 1941 when a young Norwegian woman developed a German accent after being hit by bomb shrapnel during a Second World War air raid.
She was shunned by locals who thought she was a Nazi spy.
