What Was It Like To Go Through A Gas Attack In World War 1
Arthur Empey was an American living in New Jersey when war consumed Europe in 1914. Enraged by the sinking of the Lusitania and loss of the lives of American passengers, he expected to join an American army to combat the Germans. When America did not immediately declare war, Empey boarded a ship to England, enlisted in the British Army (a violation of our neutrality law, but no one seemd to mind) and was soon manning a trench on the front lines.

Confessions Of An Instagram Model
I am a fitness model with a big Instagram following (no I will not be sharing my IG or other accounts here, please don’t ask). Most people think we make most of our money from sponsorships and affiliate posts – we do make some money that way – but you’d still need a 9 to 5 to make ends meet unless you’re one of the top accounts. The open secret in the industry is that we get hired to spend time with really wealthy men overseas.

How Do Prisoners Get Tattoos?
Depending on the accessible materials they basically forge a tattoo gun and harvest ink.
Ink is most commonly made from soot. Pieces of plastic (from a chess or checkers set) are melted in a confined area, a piece of paper is held above the burning plastic to collect the soot. The soot is then scraped off and mixed with lotion or baby oil. Thus creating your ink.
