The baby bin.
The baby bin once used in this country to push babies out the windows of
apartment dwellers so children who had been couped up all week could get
some sun during the weekend. It looks unsafe and scary to us now but was-
used back when. This photo taken in 1927.

The first picture of Ötzi as he emerged from the melting ice, taken by the finders – the German couple Helmut and Erika Simon, in 1991. Ötzi, also called the Iceman was discovered in the Ötztal Alps on the border between Austria and Italy.
He died from an arrow to the back on a high Alpine mountain pass more than 5,300 years ago.. A wounded—and possibly wanted—man, Ötzi the Iceman spent his final days on the move high up in the Alps until he was felled by the arrow.

Boris Yeltsin stormed parliament on September 21 and called for new elections after his chief rivals, speaker Ruslan Khasbulatov and Vice President Aleksandr Rutskoi, barricaded themselves in Moscow's White House and voted to impeach him. When they incited armed gangs of anti-Yeltsin protesters to attack the Ostankino television studio, and the Moscow mayor's office, Yeltsin declared a state of emergency and ordered the military assault on the White House. Three months later, a new constitution was approved in a national referendum, giving the president enormous powers that the office maintains to this day.
