...Boston-born James Jackson Jarves, America's first real collector of Italian Renaissance art, in 1852. At the time, few Americans agreed with him. When his collection of 143 Pre-Raphaelite paintings was shown in New York in 1860, critics panned them decisively as "weak and fettered," "the crude expression of Genius grappling with superstition."

Proven Principle. On the same day, Esso Petroleum of Great Britain held an oil disposal demonstration at its Fawley refinery near Southampton. Technicians poured a barrel of crude oil on a pond, then covered the slick with a shredded polyurethane foam developed by J. Bibby & Sons of Liverpool. The foam quickly turned black as it absorbed the oil. The oil-soaked foam was then simply trapped and towed ashore, where Esso showed how the oil could be pressed out for reuse...
