Following the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955–1958), the three surviving tractors used to reach the South Pole were distributed to museums in New Zealand and the United Kingdom
Canterbury Museum: Located in Christchurch, New Zealand, this museum houses one of the three tractors that successfully reached the South Pole
MOTAT (Museum of Transport and Technology): This museum in Auckland, New Zealand, houses a second original tractor from the historic polar party
Massey Ferguson Collection: The third tractor was returned to the United Kingdom. It is currently preserved and occasionally displayed by Massey Ferguson at their corporate headquarters and museum in France

Bila sebut nama Edmund Hillary perkara yang kita ingat adalah dia merupakan pendaki pertama yang tiba di kemuncak Everest. Hillary berjaya tiba puncak Everest pada Mei 29, 1953 bersama Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Hillary pada ketika itu berusia 33 tahun.
Selain mendaki Everest ada satu lagi kejayaan Hillary yang mungkin tak ramai tahu. Hillary pernah mengetuai pasukan eksplorasi New Zealand ke Antartika. Hillary berjaya tiba di Antartika pada Jan 3, 1958.

On 3 January 1958, Edmund Hillary reached the South Pole, leading a team as part of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1955-58, becoming the third team in history to do so. With Hillary, modern technology had arrived in force in Antarctica, and the dawn of mechanized polar operations had truly come.

Ada sebuah salinan asal mashaf Al-Quran Uthmani tersimpan di sebuah museum di Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Mushaf tersebut dibawa ke Samarkand oleh Amir Timur pada kurun ke14.
Petikan (wiki - link):
The Samarkand Kufic Quran preserved at Tashkent, is a Kufic manuscript, in Uzbek tradition identified as one of Uthman's manuscripts, but dated to the 8th or 9th century by both paleographic studies and carbon-dating of the parchment, which showed a 95.4% probability of a date between 795 and 855.

Baca sebuah artikel "The Golden Age of Jewish-Muslim relations: Myth and Reality" oleh Mark R Cohen. Artikel tebal sebelas m/surat. Antara kandungannya:
Jewish-Muslim relations: The comparative perspective; The paradigm; The Muslim pragmatism; Judeo-Arabic culture.
Petikan paragraf akhir:
The Arabic language gave Jews entrance to the corridors of Muslim power and made possible the remarkable careers of such luminaries as Samuel ha-Nagid ibn Naghrela in the eleventh century, head of the Jewish community, poet, Talmudist, and vizier of Granada (the father of the Jewish vizier assassinated in 1066), as well as scores of other Jewish denizens of Islamic courts, many of whom occupy pages in Islamic chronicles. Other dignitaries, as well as merchants, less well known because they did not leave books behind, but whose quotidian lives are described in minute detail in the documents of the Cairo Geniza, are no less important as Jewish exemplars of the Jewish-Muslim coexistence that reigned for several centuries during the Islamic high Middle Ages. For such illustrious fi gures in the Jewish elite, those centuries were indeed a Golden Age.

Kalau di negara kita sesuatu bangunan lama di gazet sebagai heritage building. Pengiktirafan yang diberi oleh kerajaan melalui pihak yang berwajib. Di HK keadaannya sama sesuatu bangunan lama akan diberi pengiktirafan sebagai Declared Monuments. Salah satu bangunan yang mendapat pengiktirafan tersebut adalah The Bethanie.
Petikan - discover hk (link):
Located in Pokfulam, the Béthanie was built by the Paris Foreign Missions Society (Missions Etrangères de Paris) in 1875 as a sanatorium and is now a declared monument. Almost a century later, the heritage building was taken over by the Hong Kong Government and leased to the University of Hong Kong from 1978 to 1997. In March 2003, the Legislative Council approved capital works funds for The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts to restore the Béthanie and two neighbouring Dairy Farm cowsheds as its associated campus, housing training facilities for the School of Film and Television of the Academy. The restoration was completed in November 2006. The Béthanie was also awarded an Honourable Mention at the 2008 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Cultural Heritage Awards.

Ada buku baru mengenai Aurangzeb. Buku bakal mula dijual pada hujung Jun ini.
Siapa penulisnya Munis D Faruqui.
Salah sebuah stadium yang jadi tuan rumah World Cup ialah Stadium Levis di California. Oleh kerana Levis buka penaja World Cup maka Fifa amik keputusan nama Stadium Levis tak boleh ada dan mesti ditukar nama lain.
Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, is temporarily renamed the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium during the FIFA World Cup. This unbranding is due to FIFA's strict requirements that prohibit non-official sponsors from displaying corporate names within the venue.
The Fédération Internationale de Football Association, widely known as FIFA, requires all of the World Cup venues — a total of 16 this year across the U.S., Mexico and Canada — to strip corporate branding from the exterior and interiors as much as possible.
That means Levi’s Stadium is now officially known as San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, and anyone in or near the venue can see that the recognizable red batwing-style Levi’s logos have been covered tightly in white tarps.
Salah satu bisnes Pos Malaysia ialah menjual setem. Walau dah tidak ramai beli setem pejabat pos masih menerbit dan jual setem baru. Mereka perlu terus jual setem baru sebagai mengingati sesuatu sejarah dan sambutan.
Contoh paling kini setem 125 tahun penubuhan IMR .. institute of medical research Malaysia.
Bila sebut pasal IMR ada seorang tokoh yang patut kita kenang. Allahyarham Ungku Omar. Dia jadi Pengarah IMR pada 1968 hinggalah kematian beliau pada Feb 1969.
Nama yang diabadi sebagai Politeknik Ungku Omar Ipoh.

Tajuk yang agak sensasi bunyinya. Raja Greek bernama Alexander mati akibat gigitan monyet/kera di sebuah taman pada tahun 1920. Kematian beliau menyebabkan banyak kronologi lain berlaku. Kronologi yang membawa kekalahan Greece dalam era perang pada ketika itu.
