Did you know? Lydia Kamakaʻeha Kaola Maliʻi Liliʻuokalani, was the last monarch and only queen regnant of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. She was an accomplished author and songwriter and is said to have played guitar, piano, organ, ʻukulele and zither. Her book, Hawaiʻi’s Story by Hawaiʻi’s Queen, gave her view of the history of her country and her overthrow and therefore became the first Native Hawaiian female author.

Did you know? Liquid helium below its lambda point begins to exhibit very unusual characteristics, in a state called helium II. One of these characteristics happens when a surface extends past the level of helium II, the helium II moves along the surface, against the force of gravity. Helium II will escape from a vessel that is not sealed by creeping along the sides until it reaches a warmer region where it evaporates.
