Heaven Upside Down

Heaven Upside Down.
Heaven Upside Down is the tenth studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson, released on October 6, 2017. The record was initially scheduled to be issued on Valentine's Day, but was delayed by the death of the father of lead singer Marilyn Manson (pictured). It features many of the musicians who performed on previous album The Pale Emperor, including producer Tyler Bates. "We Know Where You Fucking Live" and "Kill4Me" were issued as singles; the latter was their highest-peaking entry on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Chart. Music videos for the album featured Johnny Depp, Courtney Love, and Lisa Marie Presley. The record received positive reviews, with multiple publications saying it continued a creative resurgence that began with The Pale Emperor. It was also a commercial success, debuting in the top ten of the Billboard 200. To promote the album, the band embarked on the Heaven Upside Down Tour as well as two co-headlining tours with Rob Zombie.

Saturn (magazine)

Saturn (magazine).
Saturn was an American magazine published from 1957 to 1965. It was launched as a science-fiction magazine, but sales were weak, and after five issues the publisher, Robert C. Sproul, switched the magazine to hardboiled detective fiction that emphasized sex and sadism. Sproul renamed the magazine several times, settling on Web Terror Stories in 1962, and the contents became mostly weird-menace tales—a genre in which apparently supernatural powers are revealed to have a logical explanation at the end of the story. Donald A. Wollheim was the editor for the first five issues; he published material by several well-known authors, including Robert A. Heinlein, H. P. Lovecraft, and Harlan Ellison, but was given a low budget and could not always find good-quality stories. It is not known who edited the magazine after the science fiction issues, but themes of violence, torture and sex continued to the end of the magazine's run. Sproul finally cancelled the title in 1965 after a total of 27 issues.

Grant Memorial coinage

Grant Memorial coinage.
The Grant Memorial gold dollar and silver half dollar were struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1922 in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ulysses S. Grant, a leading Union general during the Civil War and later the 18th president of the United States. The two coins are identical in design and were sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser. The Ulysses S. Grant Centenary Memorial Association wanted to sell 200,000 gold dollars to pay for projects in the areas of Grant's birthplace and boyhood home. Congress authorized 250,000 half dollars, but only 10,000 gold dollars. About 5,000 of each denomination were struck with a special mark, a star (example pictured). All of the gold dollars and most of the half dollars sold. The half dollar with star has long been priced higher than most commemoratives; its rarity has also caused it to be counterfeited. Money from the coins was used to help preserve Grant's birthplace, but other planned projects were not completed.
