On April 1982, Israeli singer Zohar Argov's song "HaPerach BeGani" made it to the top of the Hebrew charts, and was the first and only "Mizrahi" song in the top thirty songs of the year. This paved Argov's way into the heart of Israeli consensus and the Mizrahi music into the country’s mainstream.

50 AD, De Materia Medica (“On Medical Material”), a pharmacopoeia of herbs and the medicines that can be obtained from them, was written. The five-volume work describes 600 plants, along with some animals and mineral substances, and around 1000 medicines made from them. The work was written between 50 and 70 AD by Pedanius Dioscorides, a Greek physician in the Roman army. It was widely read for more than 1,500 years until supplanted by revised herbals in the Renaissance, making it one of the longest-lasting of all natural history books
The first documented red tide happened in British Columbia in June of 1793.
Red tides are perhaps the most feared natural phenomenon to occur along coastlines. A red tide happens when a few certain species of algae bloom at an accelerated rate, resulting in a red or brown color. After the algae dies and sinks to the bottom, bacteria use tremendous amounts of oxygen to consume the dead material, choking out all other forms of life in the ocean.

The first cheese ball in recorded history was made in 1801 by Elisha Brown, Jr. on his farm in the town of Cheshire, Massachusetts.

It's said to have weighed 1,235 pounds and was referred to as the "mammoth cheese."
In 2008, the New York Times noted the Israeli city of Petah Tikva with one of the greatest inventions of the year: A dog poop DNA database. The idea was simple - The city would have a searchable database of DNA from local dogs, which would allow it to identify which dogs pooped on the city streets, and of course which owners didn't pick up after them. Once a sample was collected it would be sent to a lab to identify the culprit who avoided its poop-collecting duty.
