75,687,890
Production
The album was recorded in an empty basketball gym in Chicago over a period of seven months. The band, which raised around $10,000 for the sessions, aimed for a production that would sound good in a dance club. Frontman Frank Orrall used a handheld microphone for many of the songs, recording "Diamonds and Buttermilk" while crawling around the floor. Steve Goulding played drums on Pomegranate.

Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote: "A collection of groovy, danceable numbers propelled by Orrall's dramatic voice and overly poetic lyricism, Pomegranate manages to recapture both the fun-loving spirit and accomplished musicianship that made Poi Dog such a delight at the start." The Austin American-Statesman determined that "what we have is a funk, soul, techno, psychedelic, artsy, hippie, Whole Foods-eating, Zooropa-inspired band with transcendental lyrics and a staggering nine members." CMJ New Music Monthly praised the "Kraftwerk-meets-disco" sound of "Chain". The Washington Post concluded that, "though impeccably performed and arranged, the resulting sound—frequently folkie, sometimes funky—is seldom anything more than facile."

Career
Eshel’s art gradually became more sculptural, with some of her burlap collage-paintings being double-sided with clefts and breaks.

2012 Rediscovery
Eshel met an art consultant, Quinn Luke, when she advertised for a roommate. Luke moved in, noting Eshel's body of work, and introduced her to Patrick Parrish, who operated the Mondo Cane Gallery across the street from Eshel's loft. Parrish discovered numerous work still unpacked from Eshel's moved from Paris, and organized a successful solo exhibition at his gallery, resulting in wide attention, including by The New York Times, 1stdibs Introspective Magazine and Sight Unseen. Other exhibitions included at galleries Todd Merrill, and Glenn Horowitz.

2012 Rediscovery
A 2022 exhibition introduction described Eshel's work as "marked with deep fissures, collages striped with chasms, and canvases that erupted with bursts of paint recalling female anatomy, deep-space explosions, and her own tenacity." The Todd Merrill Gallery described her work as"very futuristic and minimalist, while at the same time draws references from ancient civilizations.”

Valentia gens
75,688,005
The gens Valentia was an obscure plebeian family at ancient Rome. Few members of this gens appear in history, but others are known from inscriptions. The most famous of the Valentii was Aulus Valentius, one of the servants of Verres during his maladministration of Sicily. According to one inscription, the emperor Hostilian was a Valentius, but this may be a mistake, and he was probably a member of the Messia gens.
Valentia gens

The nomen Valentius is derived from valens, the participle of valeo, "to be strong". It thus belongs to an abundant class of gentilicia formed from either the character or the condition of an individual.

Battle of Leyte order of battle
75,688,075
On 20 October 1944, troops of the United States Sixth Army under the direct command of Lieutenant General Walter Krueger, invaded the Philippine island of Leyte. This operation was the beginning of General Douglas MacArthur's fulfillment of his promise in March 1942 to the Filipino people that he would liberate them from Japanese rule.
Battle of Leyte order of battle
75,688,075
The choice of Leyte was the result of heated discussion at the highest levels of the US military and government. Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Ernest J. King had forcefully advocated for an invasion of the island of Formosa, about 300 mi (480 km) north of the Philippines, insisting that it would both bolster the morale of the Nationalist Chinese, then fighting the Japanese occupation of their country, and provide a much closer base for military operations against the Japanese home islands. In the event, MacArthur's viewpoint that the United States needed to be seen as following through on its promise to liberate the Filipino people from Japanese oppression won out.

Taeyangho armoured train
75,688,216
Since the establishment of North Korea, all three of its leaders—Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un—have been known to use high-security private trains as their preferred method of domestic and international travel. The train itself is officially called Taeyangho which means Sun in Korean, but it is unofficially called the Moving Fortress and is likened to Air Force One on tracks.
Taeyangho armoured train
75,688,216
History
Trains have historically been used by many global leaders and royalty, but particularly military leaders, due to their high speed, security and ability to accommodate extensive office and personal facilities within one mobile location.
Taeyangho armoured train
75,688,216
History
Kim Il Sung used a train during the Korean War as his headquarters, and continued the preference after the cessation of hostilities. He started the building of numerous secure palaces, many of which are either directly accessed by or close to railway stations, 19 of which it is estimated are accessed only by the private trains.
Taeyangho armoured train
75,688,216
History
Kim Jong Il's preference for the railroad transport was due to his fear of flying. Kim used the trains when he visited army units and factories or travelled abroad. The private trains still serve a network of 19 stations across North Korea (including some underground palaces only accessible by rail).
