"Modern Love"
Often regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, David Bowie is a memorable figure in the music industry who significantly impacted popular music. But did you know he gave up on a chance to be a knight? In 2003 he turned down a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II.

Family flashback
Young and beautiful
"This is a photo of my grandmother Annetta Elisa Honegger and her daughter (my mother) Anita Lembo. My grandfather Heinrich Albert Honegger took this photo in Dübendorf, Switzerland, on my grandmother's 35th birthday on July 14, 1947. I found this photo after my mother passed away last February and scanned it with Photomyne."

Contrary to common belief, the peak speed reached in butterfly swim is faster than in freestyle. Surprising, isn't it?

A touch of Sharpy
"We have to improve life"
Dr. Dorothy I. Height was a civil rights and women's rights activist and an impressive lady in more ways than one. Something about her that always makes us smile, aside from her endless effort to make the world a better place, is her colorful hats.
Sharpy is a feature allowing you to unblur grainy or lower-quality photos – try it yourself!

"I took this photo of my nephew Jason almost 40 years ago. He loved spending time with my father on our farm and was so happy to 'drive' his grandpa's combine."
