During the Winter of 1941 and 1940, nothing happened, and their progress became slow after they lost a lot of their supplies making forts and doing combat drills for if the Germans attacked. However, the Germans did not attack, and no planes were sent except for unarmed ones for reconnaissance.
After Pearl Harbor, the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade was moved away and sent to fight in the Pacific. They came back to New York in the USS McCawley and SS Borinquen. A lot of the former marines in the 1st PMB joined the 2nd Marine Division to fight in the Guadalcanal Campaign.
On April 18th of 1944, the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade was activated again, but this time to fight in Guadalcanal. They were a reserve force for a bit, and they were commanded by Brigadier General Lemuel C. Shepherd. In July, the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade went to the Marshall Islands for the Invasion of Guam. Guam was under the Empire of Japan. They waited for a bit then they got about 9,886 men and had the 4th and 22nd Marine Regiment join them. They joined the Third Amphibious Corps, which had almost 60,000 men and they would attack Guam, the 305th Infantry Regiment also joined.
By the end of the day, the 4th and 22nd Regiments took places about 2,000 meters or 6,000 feet inside Guam. The The 305th Regimental Combat Team helped the Marines for about 3 or 4 days before they regrouped with the 77th Infantry Division that was in the North. The 1st Brigade, 3rd Marine Division was in the south and the 77th Infantry Division cut off and split the Orote Peninsula. By July 29th, they fully cleared the place and killed about 2,500 Japanese soldiers. The 4th Marines were in the right of the West Flank while the 22nd Marine Regiment was on the left of the East Flanks, they quickly killed off the Japanese.
On August 6th, the Japanese made a last stand, meaning that they stayed in their positions and fought until they died. Mount Santa Rosa was cleared on August 8th and Ritidian Point and Pati Point on August 10th. BY 11:32 AM of August 10th, the Island was officially clear after 11,000 Japanese soldiers died. The 1st PMB was disbanded and the men there were moved to the 6th Marine Division.
After World War II, the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade became way smaller and had men, their name would change to 1st Provisional Artillery Battalion on 11th October, 1947. They used to be a Brigade, but became a Battalion, which has about 1,000 men and it became something called a "paper unit". Some of the men that used to be in the Brigade became a part of the 1st Battalion, 11th Marines.
During the Korean War, the United States Marine Corps was becoming smaller and they weren't prepared for the Korean War. During 25 of June, 1950, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (the people who lead the Military) told the Marines to get a 15,000 man division to help the United Nations Command (a group of countries fighting in the war). The 1st Provisional Marine Brigade was the first unit to be sent to Korea, under General Edward A. Craig.
The United States Marine Corps prepared the 1st Marine Division and other units to fight in the war. On July 7th, the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade was reactivated in California to fight in the war. One week later, they arrived in Pusan. Edward A. Craig was leading them and they were helped by Marine Aircraft Group 33. They fought a lot in the south of Korea.
The 1st Provisional Marine Brigade was immediately sent to Masan. They were sent to the westernmost flank of The Pusan Perimeter. The Eighth Army set up to resist the North Korean Army, which was trying to overwhelm United Nation Forces. The 1st PMB joined the 5th Regimental Combat Team and 25th Infantry Division under Major General William B. Kean. The three units of about 20,000 men banded together and made "Task Force Kean."
General Walker and the Eight Army were about to make the first counter offensive by the United Nations. They were going to start by taking Chinju from the North Korean 6th Division. The attack the Geumgang River in the middle of the month. One of Walker's goals was to stop North Koreans from grouping together next to Taegu. He wanted to do this by pushing some of the enemies south to keep them away. On August 6th, the Eighth Army was allowed to attack. The plan was to move west near Masan, take The Chinju Pass, and capture the Nam River, but it depended on the arrival of a few battalions of tanks from the 2nd Infantry Divisions.
Task Force Kean started on August 7th and left Masan. The 1st Provisional Marine Brigade rushed Pansong and the North Korean 6th Division Headquarters. There were 350 casualties on the North Korean side. But the other units in Task Force Kean were slowed down by North Korean resistance. The Task Force attacked Jindong-myeon which led to a weird battle where the 6th North Korean Division had air support and airdrops while Task Force Kean kept meeting the 6th Division and fighting.
A lot of fighting happened in three days, and by August 9th, Task Force Kean was sure that they could take Jinju-si. Even if there was a lot of North Korean resistance, they were supported by airstrikes. On August 10th, Task Force Kean started to advance and met the North Korean 83rd Motorized Regiment, 105th Armored Division. They were surprised and tried to retreat, but F4U Corsairs from the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing attacked them multiple times. 200 men were killed and over 100 vehicles were destroyed.
The 1st Provisional Marine Brigade couldn't continue and were redeployed somewhere else on August 12th, but Task Force Kean kept on going and took Chondong-ni. The 8th Army needed some help in Taegu, specifically in the Naktong Bulge. By August 14th, Task Force Kean failed it's objective of splitting the North Koreans at the Chinju pass. The North Korean 9th Division was almost gone, they had gone down to about 3000-4000 men. But the North Korean Army drafted South Koreans from Andong.
In the First Naktong Bulge, the 1st PMB had to help stop a stalemate between the 24th Infantry Division and the North Korean 4th Infantry Division because the Americans kept shooting. They started on midnight of August 6th. The North Korean 4th Division had started to move across the Naktong River at the Ohang ferry site. They used their heads and rafts to carry their weapons. At 2 AM on August 6th, the 4th Division started fighting the 3rd Battalion of the 34th Infantry Regiment. The 3rd Battalion had to retreat, and the North Koreans moved forward and tried to take down Yongsan.
They took a lot of weapons from the Americans because they surprised them. The Americans thought that they would attack from the far north.
A lot of American attacks caused stalemates. On the morning of August 7th, the North Koreans were able to take over Cloverleaf Hill and Oblong-ni Ridge. The place had bad terrain and it made a Bulge. At 4 PM, the 9th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division were sent there. The 24th Infantry Division, commanded by Major General John H. Church, ordered the attack of the Naktong Bulge. On the morning of August 7th, the North Koreans took over Cloverleaf Hill and Oblong-ni Ridge.
The 4th Division of North Korea was making underwater bridges made of sandbags, trees and rocks. It was strong enough to handle tanks and heavy things like artillery. By August 10th, two entire regiments went over the river and took positions. The attack showed that the North Koreans could attack Yongsan, which forced the United States to send reinforcements. There were lots of deaths there, then General Walker sent the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade to the Naktong, They prepared to attack Cloverleaf Hill and Obong-ni, at 8 AM on August 17th. The 1st PMB sent all their men to attack; they used M26 tanks, airstrikes and mortars to help them.
At first, the North Koreans stopped a lot of the attack, but then they were overwhelmed by the heavy fire that was targeting them. The 1st PMB started to take one hill at a time. The Marines took Obong-ni first, then they destroyed a lot of enemies there with airstrikes. They destroyed all of the 18th Regiment. The North Korean 4th Divisions tactics and strategies didn't work very well so they couldn't use them.
By August 18th, the Americans took Obong-ni and Cloverleaf Hill. The North Korean 4th Division only had about 300 or 400 men left, after starting with 700 men. The rest either surrendered or ran away because they didn't want to get captured.
In the Second Naktong Bulge, the 1st PMB only had 4,290 men, because about 500 men were killed in a month of war. They were getting ready to go to Pusan to escape to Japan, but they joined other Marines in the 1st Marine Division that would attack Ichon. They could not come because they were about to fight in Naktong. General Walker called them to help the 2nd Infantry Division in Naktong, but McArhut didn't like it because it would anger the East Command. They still fought. The attack was a threat to the supply line.
The 2nd Division took the river line in Naktong, and the 1st PMB rushed the river with everything they had. They planned their attack very well and won. After they helped the 2nd Infantry Division, they destroyed the North Korean army at the Naktong River then left as soon as the battle ended.
The 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines and 1st Battalion, 5th Marines came to Yongsan while the 1st PMB was moved to the front of Yongsan. The 1st PMB was under control of the 2nd Division. At night, the A Company of the 2nd Engineers fought a lot with the Korean People's Army. At dawn on September 3rd, the A Company gained high ground and fought the entrenched Koreans. The company leader was hit with a grenade and injured by it. They later took over the hill with the help of tanks.
The Marines started an attack across some rice farms. The 1st Battalion, 5th Marines attacked the southern east-west and took an objective after the North Koreans were attacked by airstrikes and crossed to where the 2nd Battalion was. Airstrikes, machine gun fire, artillery and the 1st Battalion started to shoot the North Korean reinforcements. The 1st Battalion moved to another hill.
In the north, the 2nd Battalion took longer. They started to get a lot of fire when they went up about 3.2 km. The D Company, 2nd Battalion was isolated and some tanks were taking down North Korean T-34s. The North Korean crewmen abandoned 1/5th of all their armored vehicles. By the end of the day, the 2nd Battalion entrenched and lost 95 men. Most of them were from the D Company.
The 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines was allowed to pass the 2nd Battalion and continue fighting in the morning. When the morning came, the North Koreans retreated and the 1st Battalion occupied some tents that looked like a command post. They quickly saw T-34 tanks that were abandoned and in good condition. At night, the North Koreans attacked the place and hit G Company hard. When it started to rain they slowed down. The North Koreans surrounded the G Company and some started hand to hand combat. The 9th Infantry came in and helped the Marines.
On September 5th, after 10-minute-long artillery preparations, the Americans started to move out in the rain. They moved to Obong-ni Ridge and the 9th Infantry came close to Cloverleaf Hill that was captured in the First Battle of Naktong Bulge. They saw some North Koreans going up. The marines split and took the pass between both hills.
About 300 North Koreans came in from the village of Tugok and started to fight the B Company. Some T-34s attacked by surprise and took out 2 M-26 Pershing Tanks. The B Company had to retreat, but the A and C Companies fought the North Koreans with mortars. By the end of the day, there were 1,245 casualties and 106 of them were marines. The number of North Korean deaths is unknown.
By September 4th, the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade was released from the 2nd Division by General Walker. He thought that he had enough men to continue on with his mission.
After the Battle of Yongsan, General Walker released the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade from control of the 2nd Division. On September 5th, the 1st PMB started to leave Yongsan, then they joined the 7th Marine Regiment and 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division since the 1st Marine Division was being reformed. MacArthur said that he could not fight in Inchon if there were no Marines, so he sent some to the Army's 65th Infantry Regiment and 17th Infantry Regiment.
The Brigade had different sizes every time it was reactivated, but usually there was a Headquarters and Service Company. They also had companies much smaller than normal, and they would have a military police, and support companies. There were also signal companies and platoons. During the Negro Rebellion, the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade had about 1,200 men that was in two separate regiments.
When the 1st PMB went to Iceland they had more men, these were 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions from the 6th Marine Regiment, the 2nd battalion the 10th Marine Regiment, the A company from the 2nd Tank Battalion, the A company from the 2nd Service Battalion, and the entire 5th Marine Defense Battalion.
When they went to Guam they had a very big brigade of 9,886 men. It had the 4th Marine Regiment, the 22nd Marine Regiment, a military police company, a signals platoon and an Artillery Battalion consisting of 4 batteries. The 53rd Naval Construction Battalion was also assigned to the Brigade.
In the Korean War, they had about 4,725 men: the 5th Marine Regiment's 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions, the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, the 1st Medical Battalion, the 1st Motor Transport Battalion, the 1st Ordnance Battalion, the 1st Service Battalion, the 1st Shore Party Battalion, the 1st Signal Battalion, the 1st Tank Battalion, the 1st Amphibian Tractor Company, and the 1st Combat Service Group. They also had support from the Marine Aircraft Group 33.
Even though the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade wasn't permanent, it still got streamers for its service and actions in Cuba, Iceland, Guam, Pusan, Yongsan and Naktong. These "streamers" or awards include:

X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology
X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology, or XROMM, is a scientific research technique. Scientists use XROMM to make 3D movies of animals' bones while they are still alive.
In XROMM, a surgeon puts radio-opaque bone markers inside the animal's body. Then an X-ray video system can tell exactly where the markers are. This helps the scientists make very good videos of how the bones move.
Scientists at Brown University invented XROMM in 2010.
XROMM can be used to show birds in flight, humans running, frogs jumping, and a toad swallowing crickets.

HV 888
HV 888 (also known as WOH S140), is a red supergiant star in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is among the largest known stars. It has a solar radius from over 1,400 to nearly 2,000 times that of the Sun.
It is one of the most luminous of its type. Its luminosity is nearly 300,000 to over 500,000 times that of the luminosity of our Sun. The effective temperature is estimated to be around 3,500 K. If it was placed at the center of the Solar System, its photosphere would engulf the orbit of Jupiter and possibly even Saturn.
HV 888 is located in the constellation of Dorado with an apparent magnitude of 11.861, It has a diameter of between 1,027,548,900 to 1,373,311,800 km.
Fomalhaut is the brightest star in the southern constellation of Piscis Austrinus, the "Southern Fish". It is and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. The star has the Bayer designation Alpha Piscis Austrini"." It is a class A star on the main sequence. Fomalhaut is located about 25 light years from the Sun as measured by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite. Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified.
It is classified as a Vega-like star that throws out excess infrared radiation. This shows that the star is surrounded by a circumstellar disk. Fomalhaut, Fomalhaut b, and red dwarf star Formalhaut c make up a triple system, even though they are separated by about 8 degrees.

The effective temperature of an astronomical body like a star or a planet is the temperature of a black body that would emit the same total amount of electromagnetic radiation. Effective temperature is often used as an estimate of a body's surface temperature when the body's emissivity curve (as a function of wavelength) is not known.
When the star's or planet's net emissivity in the relevant wavelength band is less than that of a black body, the actual temperature of the body will be higher than the effective temperature. The net emissivity may be low due to surface or atmospheric properties, including the greenhouse effect.

Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign
The 2024 presidential campaign of Donald Trump was announced by Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. He announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on November 15, 2022.
Trump is currently seeking the nomination for the Republican primaries. If he is elected, he will become the second president after Grover Cleveland to serve two non-consecutive presidential terms.
After Joe Biden won the 2020 United States presidential election, Trump became the first incumbent president since the 1992 presidential election to lose his reelection bid. Trump also became the first president since George H. W. Bush to serve one presidential term.
After he lost the 2020 election, Trump refused to concede to Biden and accept his loss. He later made widespread false claims of election and voter fraud, and saying it was rigged and stolen from him, despite no evidence to support his claims.
Trump later made many attempts to overturn the election results, to prevent Biden's presidential transition and block the certification of his election victory, which later resulted in the attack on the United States Capitol, which left five people dead and later resulted in his second impeachment, becoming the first U.S. president to be impeached twice.
Trump left office on January 20, 2021, and became the first outgoing president since 1869, who did not attend his successor's inauguration.
On November 15, 2022, he announced his candidacy for 2024 presidential election.
This also officially makes Trump's fourth presidential campaign, as he ran for president in 2000, 2016, 2020, and is running again in 2024.
This later caused wide speculation that both Trump and Biden may face a potential rematch in the 2024 election. If Trump and Biden are renominated, this would be the first presidential rematch since the 1956 presidential election.
As of 2023, there are multiple factors working against Trump such as, the hearings of the January 6 Committee, FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, Raffensperger phone call, Stormy Daniels scandal, and his indictment by the New York grand jury.

Aplastodiscus
The Canebrake tree frogs (Aplastodiscus) are a group of frogs in the family Hylidae. They live in southeastern Brazil near the Atlantic Ocean. One frog, Aplastodiscus pervirdis, also lives in Argentina, and it might live in Paraguay.
At first, "Aplastodiscus" had two frog species in it. In 2005, frog scientists looked at Hylidae again and decided that 12 more frogs should go into "Aplastodiscus". They moved them into "Aplastodiscus" from "Hyla". Now, there are 16 species in "Aplastodiscus".
There are currently 16 species in "Aplastodiscus":
Currently, none of the species are in danger of dying out. But there are fewer of some frogs than others. Human beings change the places where they live to build houses, farms, and towns. Pollution, climate change, and disease can also hurt these frogs. Some invasive species can kill this frog. Many of the species are data deficient. That means that scientists do not know enough about them to know if they are in danger or not.

Leonard Read
Leonard Edward Read was an American businessman World War I veteran and libertarian political activist. Read supported the Austrian School of Economics and started the Foundation for Economic Education. He also wrote 29 books and the essay I, Pencil. The magazine he and the Foundation for Economic Education published called The Freeman was something that Ronald Reagan read and Reagan said that it was part of why he became a conservative.
Foundation for Economic Education
The Foundation for Economic Education is the oldest libertarian think tank in the United States of America. It was created by Leonard Read in 1946. It opposed the New Deal, the Marshall Plan, social security and minimum wage.
In 1945, Jasper Crane and Alfred Kohlberg complained about the New Deal and said that they wanted laissez-faire capitalism. So Leonard Read, Henry Hazlitt, David Goodrich, Donaldson Brown, Leo Wolman, Fred Rogers Fairchild and Crane decided to create a think tank to teach people about how important economic liberty was.
Leonard Read became the first president of the Foundation for Economic Education in 1946 but in 1983, he died. Someone named Perry E. Gresham took over until FEE (the acronym for Foundation for Economic Education) found a man named John Sparks Senior to replace him. One year later Sparks was replaced by Bob Love. Love left in 1988 and was replaced by Bruce Evans. In 1992, Hans Sennholtz took over. Many different people were president of FEE after him, though from 2008 to 2019 its president was an economist named Lawrence Reed.

The Colour and the Shape is the second studio album by Foo Fighters, an American rock band. It was released on May 20, 1997 by Roswell and Capitol Records. "The Colour and the Shape" is the first album by the Foo Fighters with a full band. This is because their first album, "Foo Fighters", was only made by Dave Grohl. After the album became very popular, Grohl let Pat Smear, Nate Mendel, and William Goldsmith join the Foo Fighters.
The album's singles are "Monkey Wrench", "Everlong", and "My Hero". They all went into the top ten on US rock radio charts. The album went to number ten on the "Billboard" 200, and number three in the United Kingdom. It was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1998. The album has sold more than two million copies in the United States. It is the band's best selling album. It was remastered in 2007. "The Colour and the Shape" was the band's last album that was released by Capitol Records.
Dave Grohl was the only musician on the band's first album, "Foo Fighters". He made all of the music on it, except for a guitar part made by Greg Dulli. The band got very popular because of the songs "This Is A Call" and "Big Me", so Dave Grohl did a concert tour with other musicians. The musicians were bassist Nate Mendel, drummer William Goldsmith, and guitarist Pat Smear. They joined the band during the tour. Many music magazines thought that the band would make a garage rock album, but the band wanted to make normal rock music. Capitol Records, the band's record label, gave Foo Fighters a lot of control on how the album was going to sound. The songs on the album were written during sound checks before the band's concerts on the tour. Grohl would play simple riffs on his guitar, and other members jammed along to them to make songs.
Producer Gil Norton helped make the album. Grohl hired him because he liked Norton's work with the Pixies, another band. Norton wanted the band to get better. He made Nate Mendel practice playing the bass guitar. Grohl said that making the album with Norton was difficult, but "at the end of the day you listened back to what you'd done and you understood why you had to do it one million times".
In the autumn of 1996, the band started to work on the album. During this time, they rewrote some songs, and played them to see how they sounded. Norton helped the band look at the "basics" of each song, so they could play better music around it. In November 1996, the band went to Bear Creek Studio in Washington to start recording. The studio was on a farm, and the band lived in a house next to the studio. Grohl said recording at Bear Creek was "bad". He decided to get rid of most of the recordings the band made there.
In December, the band took a break. Grohl wrote new songs during the break. He recorded "Walking After You" and an acoustic version of "Everlong" by himself.
The rest of "The Colour and the Shape" was recorded at Grandmaster Recorders, a music studio in Hollywood. The band did not tell William Goldsmith, their drummer, to come with them. For four weeks, the band re-recorded music for the album. Grohl played the drums because Goldsmith was not there. By the end of recording, the only songs where Goldsmith was the drummer were "Doll" and "Up in Arms". Grohl said that Goldsmith's drumming was good, but it was not how he wanted it to sound. This is why Grohl decided to play the drums himself. Goldsmith asked if he should go to Hollywood with the band, but Grohl told him not to because he was only doing overdubs. Mendel told Goldsmith what was going on. Grohl said he still wanted Goldsmith to be in Foo Fighters, but he left the band.
After going to Hollywood, recording the album cost much more money. Capitol Records wanted the band to make the album quickly, because time in the studio cost a lot of money. The band did not get stressed by Capitol asking them to make the album in less time.
"The Colour and the Shape" started being sold on May 20, 1997. The main single from the album ("Monkey Wrench") was released a month before the album. Smear said that he wanted to leave the band because he was too tired to do a long concert tour. People that spoke for the band said that he was not leaving. A concert tour for the album started in May 1997. On September 4, at one of the concerts on the tour, Smear left the band. He gave his guitar to Franz Stahl so he could finish the concert.
In August 1997, "Everlong" was released as a single. It was the best selling single from the album. It was certified double platinum by the RIAA. In 1998, "My Hero" was also released as a single. All three singles went into the top ten on "Billboard"'s Mainstream Rock music chart. To mark ten years of the album being sold, Foo Fighters released it again on July 10, 2007. This version of the album has six extra songs: "Dear Lover", "The Colour and the Shape", and four covers.

Pollux b
Pollux b, (also known as Beta Geminorum b and HD 62509 b, formally named Thestias), is an extrasolar planet about 34 light years away in the constellation of Gemini. This planet was discovered orbiting the star Pollux in 2006 by the astronomer, Artie P. Hatzes, confirming his hypothesis originally published in 1993. The planet has twice the mass of Jupiter. It moves around its star in 1.61 years at a distance of 1.64 AU in a nearly circular orbit.
In July 2014 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) launched NameExoWorlds, a process for giving proper names to certain extrasolar planets and their host stars. The process involved public nomination and voting for the new names. In December 2015, the IAU announced the winning name was Thestias for this planet. The winning name was based on that originally submitted by theSkyNet of Australia; specifically Leda, Pollux's mother in Greek and Roman mythology. At the request of the IAU, 'Thestias' (the patronym of Leda, a daughter of Thestius) was substituted. This was because 'Leda' was already attributed to an asteroid known as 38 Leda and to one of Jupiter's satellites known as Leda.
