Heroes of the Reclamation Service in Gunnison tunnel saga
The Gunnison tunnel project in southwestern Colorado is revealed through the story of A J Fellows and J W McConnell who risked life surveying the canyon to prove feasibility. Their bold work enabled irrigation of the Uncompahgre valley, with the project delivering water, transforming 100000 acres, and increasing wealth and homes while costing about 2.6 million dollars to be repaid by valley landowners.

Glass of the Ancients Thebes artisans rival modern crafts
Thebes glassblowers excelled in staining and shaping glass four millennia ago, with Ros Tellin describing 4000 year old glass pieces whose colors penetrate the vitrified matrix. Priests of Ptah at Memphis operated glass factories and created color fashions and gem imitations that remain indistinguishable from genuine stones after millennia. The British Museum holds a stained glass piece engraved with Thothmes III, dating about 3400 years.
