Lions and Tigers and Bears! Oh, My!The MGM Technicolor classic The Wizard of Oz was originally released on August
25, 1939. Here’s some unusual facts about this monumental film and its all-star cast.
Dorothy: Due to the fact that white does not film well in Technicolor, Garland’s oh-so-recognizable blue-and-white gingham dress was, in fact, pale pink and white. She wore a corset to help her maintain her childlike physique throughout the duration of the film.
Toto: Terry, a Cairn Terrier, was cast to play Garland’s companion, Toto. For playing the role of Dorothy’s faithful companion, the dog earned $125 per week. Terry made appearances in more than 12 films.
The Tin Man: Haley’s costume was excessively stiff – so much, in fact, that he had to lean against something if he wished to rest. Haley mentioned on multiple occasions that creating the film was not very enjoyable.
Wicked Witch of the West: Hamilton endured severe burns while filming the movie following the sequence where she disap-pears in a cloud of smoke after meeting Dorothy. She missed six weeks of filming.
Living the DreamCivil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., took Washington, D.C., by storm when he
delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech on August 28, 1963. He had organized
a march on Washington intending to show America that ending racial problems was
of the utmost importance. From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, King spoke in
front of more than 250,000 people who were eager to hear his dreams of peace and
change. This speech later became known as one of the most pivotal moments of the
American Civil Rights Movement. King and other civic leaders speaking during the
March on Washington wanted to promote change through peaceful means, as so
many events surrounding the Civil Rights Movement were plagued with unnecessary
acts of violence. This speech led to his receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize the
following year.
The Heat is OnAugust is a month in which sweltering heat sweeps across
our nation. From the West to East Coast, North to South, many of our bodies are drenched in sweat on a very regular basis. But let’s not dwell on the obvious. Here are some random “cool” facts for the month of August. See how many of them you know.• Of the major U.S. cities in the lower 48 states, San Francisco,
CA has the lowest average temperature for August. It would be easy to stay cool there, with an average high of 68ºF and a low of 55ºF.
• Antarctica reached a new low on Aug. 10, 2010, as the air’s temperature reached its coldest temperature on record: -135.8º F. This temperature was approximated by a satellite reading.
• Of the major U.S. cities, 14 of them stay below 80º F, on average, during the summer: San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Seattle, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Portland (Oregon), Boston, Rochester, Providence, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and Detroit.
• The average high temperatures in Alaska during August range from 40º F to 68º F.

Are you male or female? The answer to this seemingly simple question can have a major impact on your health. While both sexes are similar in many ways, researchers have found that sex and social factors can make a difference when it comes to your risk for disease, how well you respond to medications, and how often you seek medical care. That’s why scientists are taking a closer look at the links between sex, gender, and health. Here's a list of quick facts and differences between men and women:
• Women and men have different symptoms of heart attack.
• Women are twice as likely as men to experience depression.
• Men are less likely than women to admit to negative moods and seek treatment for mental health issues.
• Men are more likely than women to have gout, a type of arthritis. Female risk for gout increases after menopause.
• Osteoporosis is more common in women than men, yet
it still poses a risk to men as they age.
• Some medicines affect women and men differently, such as aspirin and some sleep medications.
• Females are more likely to injure their knees playing sports.
• Males are more likely than females to develop autism spectrum disorders and certain other neurodevelop-mental conditions.
• Two-thirds of people age 40 and up who are visually impaired or blind are women.
• Pain disorders like chronic TMJ are more common in women.
• Women are often primary caretakers of children, house-hold needs, and aging family members, but they are more likely to delay their own health needs.

A Dynamic DiscoveryWhat can you buy with $7.6 million? Try the largest
Tyrannosaurus rex fossil available to date. This 40-foot long fossil better known as “Sue,” named after its discoverer paleontologist Sue Hendrickson, was unearthed on Aug. 12, 1990, on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation in South Dakota. It was unquestionably well maintained for its age, with a skull measuring roughly 5 feet in length. A dispute erupted over the land in which Sue was discovered, as several parties claimed rights to the enormous dinosaur’s bones. Many believed this find belonged in a museum, for all the world to see. Therefore, multiple donors and charitable organizations joined together in 1997 to purchase Sue at a Sotheby’s auction on behalf of Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History. The fossil’s safekeeping was ensured, and Sue, teeth and all, can currently be found resting comfortably in her home at the Field Museum.
“Three days of peace and music” turned into a historic
movement like no other. The Woodstock festival, more
than 400,000 in attendance, began on Aug. 15, 1969, and
ended with the sounds of Jimi Hendrix on August 18.
This legendary Bethel, New York, music and arts festival
occurred at a pivotal time in history, as the Vietnam
War was in full force, and the Civil Rights and Women’s
Movements were at the forefront of societal issues.
The upstate New York town had no idea what it was
in for when the festival took shape. The weekend was
welcomed by some, and shunned by others. Barefoot
beauties danced in the grass. Long-haired, bell-bottom
wearing hippies were everywhere. A host of volunteer
nurses and medics tended to the wounded, with cuts to
the feet being among the chief injuries at the concert. Tales
of Woodstock births have circulated, but proof is minimal.
Whether viewed as inspiring or angering, the Woodstock
festival remains a climactic, influential and memorable
point in American history.
