Who Invented Scrabble?. Top Story - July 2022.
The grid of perfectly scaled squares hinting of an underlying respect for structure, the meticulously planned numbering system, the lettered tiles, and even the wooden letter holder that resembles a sample of ceiling molding might be clues to the profession of the inventor of Scrabble. Alfred Mosher Butts, born in Poughkeepsie, New York in 1899, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1924 with a degree in architecture and soon after joined the New York firm of Holden, McLaughlin & Associates. In 1931, however, suffering from the devastating economic effects of America's Great Depression, the architectural firm was forced to shut its doors, and Butts, like the majority of Americans, was laid off from his job.

What is entrepreneurship? How to start a business? What is the essence of entrepreneurship?
As we begin to learn business wisdom and master the business journey, we must be clear about one important concept: what is entrepreneurship? Maybe my interpretation is not what you already know as common sense. At that time, I did not know what I was doing was called entrepreneurship, nor did I know what positioning, products and marketing concepts were. We Just did it, so the entrepreneurship at that time was really confused and more like trying to prove something. What is entrepreneurship? When "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" once became a national strategy, when a group of fresh graduates entered the business world with their parents' money, when countless young people started companies and factories, when entrepreneurship has become a flood, we have forgotten the essence of entrepreneurship. Especially for students, it seems like you can't succeed without starting a business, and if you don't start a business, you're embarrassed to meet people. Before starting a business, ask yourself: what is starting a business? And what is the purpose of entrepreneurship? Almost everyone regards starting a company and running an entity as a boss as entrepreneurship, and the connotation of entrepreneurship is far from being so narrow as we imagine. For example, in 2005, a couple of teachers in the United States died childless and were found to have a staggering $857 million when their estate was cleared. Where did their wealth come from? It turns out that in 1960 they put their only $50,000 in savings into a company stock and left it untouched for 45 years. It's called Berkshire Hathaway and its chairman is Warren Buffett.

My Apocalypse Dream Team
A popular game played in prepping groups is, if you could create a team of fictional characters to go into the apocalypse with whom would you pick, and why? This is my list of team players.

Careful! Don't Drown in the Streams
You know that old adage “6 of one; half dozen of the other”? Like when it doesn’t matter what you choose? Welp, it looks like we’ve reached that saturation point with apps and streaming services.

It’s quite likely, however, that you’ve never heard of many of them. Here are a few examples:

Why are Vinyl Records So Expensive?
Now, of course not all records are expensive. There are some that can go for even $4 on Amazon and Ebay if you look in the right places. But, as all collectors know young and old, there are some records that are just out of grabs because of the high prices. Whether they might be old classics new generation icons, they can be very expensive which are out of most collectors savings. Even new age records like WOLF(2013) can be as high as $173.00 on StockX.
