subdued, left handcuffed on ground in Greenwich Village




A man who was arrested after he ran naked through Greenwich Village Saturday afternoon made quite an impression on Enrique Iglesias — not that Enrique Iglesias, however.

“The police were after him … He was naked completely,” said Iglesias, 68. “He looked fantastic.”

Iglesias, an employee at Trattoria Spaghetto on Bleecker St., said cops were chasing after the streaker at about 5 p.m.


Officers apparently used a stun gun to subdue the emotionally disturbed man, who was left handcuffed on the ground before paramedics took him to Bellevue Hospital for evaluation.

Bravery of Persian Women

Image
Bravery of Persian Women Around 24 centuries ago, the Persian army was fighting a war against the Greeks in which they were defeated. The hopeless and injured soldiers returned home. But they didn’t receive a warm welcome. Persian women, who heard that the soldiers were returning home after a defeat, were afraid that the Greek army would follow them and invade the city. What would happen then? At that time, when an army conquered a city, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted as a reward. Most of the time, those soldiers didn’t do noble things. Instead, they used to do horrible things like looting and killing. The Persian women were aware that all these things would happen to them and their children if they didn’t take any action. But what on earth could they do? They couldn’t go to war because they didn’t know how to use a sword, and there wasn’t enough time for practice. But they could persuade their men to return to war. They decided to show their disappointment and scorn towa...

On this day, 5 May 1818, Karl Marx was born in Trier, Germany. Living until the age of 64, Marx was a journalist, revolutionary socialist, philosopher and economist, and one of the most influential figures in world history.  He inspired hundreds of millions with his works, including Capital which, over a century later, remains the most incisive critique of the capitalist system.  Though his wife was from a wealthy background, Marx and his family often lived in abject poverty, and four of their children died in infancy. His children who survived to adulthood all became socialist activists in their own right, including his eldest daughter Jenny who also died before him. Despite his often difficult circumstances and the tragedy in his personal life, Marx was also well up for a laugh. For example, his friend and biographer Wilhelm Liebknecht recounted an evening pub crawl in west London in which he, Marx and another German friend, Edgar Bauer, drunkenly began ridiculing "English s...

Against all odds – learning from great projectors: Nikola TeslaWith this article we continue a series of pioneers and projectors to learn from. You are all encouraged to write about great projectors out of your context so we may learn from them and improve our way of performing projects. “Projector” is a term introduced by Daniel  Defoe in “An Essay upon Projects” (1697). It refers to people that “project” into the future and thus make them real. A true projector is “he who, having by fair and plain principles of sense, honesty, and ingenuity brought any contrivance to a suitable perfection, makes out what he pretends to, picks nobody’s pocket, puts his project in execution, and contents himself with the real produce as the profit of his invention.” History is full of those people, let´s make use of their stories by explaining the narrative behind. This article is about Nikola Tesla –  a physicist, inventor, mechanical and electrical engineer of unusual intellectual brilliance...
