Did you know that you can receive what essentially amounts to a short-term loan from the bank without paying a penny of interest? That probably sounds too good to be true. But it’s possible with the best credit cards. There’s just one catch: You must pay back the money by the end of your credit card’s “grace period.” A grace period gives you a specific amount of time to carry a balance on your credit card without being charged interest.

In the U.S., where dates are written month-first, March 14, or 3.14, is celebrated by mathematics enthusiasts as Pi Day. But for romantics, especially in Asia, it’s another holiday that marks a different kind of full-circle moment. White Day, which takes place exactly one month later, is seen as a sequel to Valentine’s Day. In Japan, where it’s believed to have originated, White Day is meant to be a day for lovers (typically men) to give gifts (typically chocolates or sweets) to their partners (typically women) who previously gave them gifts on Valentine’s Day, as a gesture of reciprocation.

It was invented to serve social, political and economical purposes to those who celebrate it. Back in the day, it was said that Ekpo masquerades were seen as crime detectors.

The successes at Omaha, Utah, Juno, Gold and Sword beaches remain, rightly, among the most celebrated military operations in history — but for more than a year following those landings, the fighting went on, and on, and on in some of the war’s most appalling battles and campaigns.

For turned-on hippies, the search for new and legal “highs” is endless. In recent years, youthful mind-benders have tripped (or thought they did) on everything from airplane glue to morning-glory seeds, from nutmeg to black tea. But now that the psychedelic “revolution” is really under way, they are discovering new highs with dizzying speed, and their discoveries are passed quickly around the underground through such newspapers as Manhattan’s East Village Other and the Berkeley Barb.
