One Denver block buried under up to 4 feet of hail
Up to 4 feet of ice buried all the territory between Dakota and Alaska — streets, that is. In some ways, it was "gi-normous," freakishly so. In other ways, it was microscopically small. The hail that pounded the neighborhood between 10 and 11:30 p.m ...

With the exception of the clock, the sewing machine was the first piece of mechanical technology to become a household fixture. From the early to mid-twentieth century, it was unusual to find a household without a sewing machine. Even before its widespread use, the potential consequences of the sewing machine were both feared and revered. Perfected over 160 years ago, the technology is simple, scalable, and versatile. Sewing machines have been used for projects as varied as sewing together the heat shields for space shuttles, or to construct artificial heart valves. No matter the size or shape, the action of the machine is the same: A top thread is carried by a needle to pick up a bottom thread and create a locked stitch in whatever material is to be sewn together. Commercially, the sewing machine brought new efficiencies to tailor's shops, dressmakers, shoemakers, hat makers, saddlers, and more. When garment factories began to appear in the United States in the 1870s and '80s, the darker side of the sewing machine emerged. From its beginning, the clothing industry was built on the mechanical reliability of the sewing machine and the availability of cheap female labor.
As a train approaches platform 2 on the Marunouchi line, the number 50 appears on a digital sign, indicating the train will stay 50 seconds longer than usual. That’s because the following train, due in two minutes, has been delayed and is already packed. Each 12 seconds of delay adds about 80 people and makes a train 10 percent more crowded, according to Tokyo Metro Co. The clock begins to count down and Assistant Stationmaster Takashi Arai steps onto a wooden dais. Every day, Tokyo’s subway and trains carry out one of the world’s largest logistical operations, getting a metropolis of 38 million people to work, many commuting for hours. Olympic Games While Tokyo’s rail system may appear to be straining at the seams, it’s preparing for an even bigger challenge, as the city transforms to welcome its first Olympic Games since 1964. The Japanese capital is spending 51. 4 billion yen... Tokyo Metro, the bigger of the city’s two primary subway operators, is adding a new station along a corridor connecting the main venues and athletes’ village and has announced a 400 billion yen revamp of existing lines. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he wants to boost the number of visitors to Japan to 20 million by the Olympics, from 13. 4 million last year. How smoothly Tokyo Metro will handle the influx depends on a small group of employees in a squat, beige building on a narrow residential lane far from crowded Shinjuku.

Clinton wanted to run her private email account through the server her husband set up in the family’s Chappaqua, N. Y. , home, people familiar with the matter said. Clinton more control over her email, people familiar with her team’s reasoning said.
