Picture of The Day
Bass Reeves (1838—1910) was the first Black U.S. Marshall, west of the Mississippi River. He arrested nearly 3,000 outlaws in his career.
Before becoming a legendary lawman of the Wild West, Reeves was an enslaved man born in Arkansas. When the Civil War broke out, he was forced to fight for the Confederacy, but escaped to Indian Territory (modern day Oklahoma). Reeves quickly adapted to his new environment, learning the customs and languages of the Seminole and Creek people.
After the war, Reeves returned to Arkansas as a free man. He settled down, got married and had 11 children. However, his quiet family life came to an end when he was recruited to reign in the growing number of outlaws.

What Should You Do If You Win The Lottery?
Congratulations! You just won millions of dollars in the lottery! That’s great.
Now you’re fucked.
No really.
You are.
You’re fucked.
You see, it’s something of an open secret that winners of obnoxiously large jackpots tend to end up badly with alarming regularity. Not the $1 million dollar winners. But anyone in the nine-figure range is at high risk. Eight-figures? Pretty likely to be screwed. Seven-figures? Yep. Painful. Perhaps this is a consequence of the sample. The demographics of lottery players might be exactly the wrong people to win large sums of money. Or perhaps money is the root of all evil. Either way, you are going to have to be careful. Don’t believe me? Consider this:

What Is The Difference Between Bodybuilding and Powerlifting?
Bodybuilding
We’ve all seen crazy pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger or Ronnie Colman competing for Mr. Olympia — one of the highest level of bodybuilding competition — but how did they get up to that point? Bodybuilding is a round-the-clock commitment where athletes use cardio and strength exercises in tandem with an emphasis on bulking and cutting: putting on as much muscle mass as possible, and eliminating as much fat as possible from the body in order to get the muscle definition.
