Only seven people came to bury him. He rests beneath a simple stone in New York’s Mount Hebron cemetery, the sole clue to his historical importance an inscription incised below his name - “Father Of The Genocide Convention.”

Uh-oh. Rick Mercer is at it again. This time, he is down south poking fun at our American friends. The thing about Rick is that he does it often and he does it well.

Or that our capital building is made of ice, formally known as “Canada’s National Igloo”? Or that “1 hour of Canadian time is 65 American minutes?" And Jean Poutine? Come on. You must be giggling already. This video is bound to have you laughing in no time at all. Over 497,733 viewers already have. As for the Americans in this video, who ever said life is fair, eh?

Serhiy Korolyov – the Ukrainian Who Conquered Space
Space flight today is far different from the Space Race between the United States and the U.S.S.R. in the 1950s and 1960s. Back then, the Ukrainian-born rocket engineer and designer, Serhiy Pavlovich Korolyov (a.k.a. Sergei Korolev) masterminded the successful launches of Sputnik and Vostok 1 projects. Sputnik was a beach ball-sized satellite launched on October 4, 1957 and Vostok 1 was a Soviet spacecraft that launched the first human being into space on April 12, 1961. The Soviet Union maintained his anonymity allegedly because of the key role he played in these projects.

Refurbished desktop computers are giving consumers a cheaper alternative to brand new desktops and laptops. In a time when everyone is scrambling for ways to save money and bring down expenses, it is really wise to consider purchasing refurbished computers. However, it is also not surprising that many people are afraid of reconditioned or used computers because they think that these units would easily bog down. So, here are some steps that you might want to follow to ensure quality used computers.
The first step is to determine where you will use the computer. The components that you will need and the amount of RAM or type of processor that you will require depend on your reason for buying a computer. You cannot expect that all the refurbished desktop computers that you buy will have all the components and specifications that you need. If you are going to use it for gaming, make sure ...
