The Coast Guard was established on Aug. 4, 1790. The Coast Guard is charged with maritime
security, safety, and stewardship. While the Coast Guard operates under the Department of
Homeland Security during peacetime, during times of war, it can be transferred to the
Department of the Navy, as it did in WWI and WWII. The Coast Guard is comprised of
approximately 40,000 active duty personnel supported by an additional 7,000 reservists. A
Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater helicopter crew rescues a man and his dog from a
disabled and taking-on-water 36-foot sailing vessel 25 miles off Sanibel Island, Florida, on
Sept. 26, 2024. A mariner sailing in the path of Hurricane Helene was rescued in dramatic
fashion when his boat started sinking off southwest Florida, according to the U.S. Coast
Guard Station in Clearwater. The distress call was received around 11 a.m. on Thursday, Sept.
26, with a 64-year-old man reporting his 36-foot sailboat was disabled and “started taking on
water approximately 25 miles off Sanibel Island.” Video shared on social media shows the
boat was still afloat when an MH-60 helicopter crew arrived around 2:45 p.m. and a
guardsman was lowered by cable to the water.
Cadets who graduate from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy earn a commission as an ensign
in the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard Academy predates the service itself. The academy first
formed as the U.S. Revenue Cutter School of Instruction-Underway, setting sail from
Baltimore in 1876 on a two-year training voyage aboard the topsail schooner James C.
Dobbin. The school later occupied the former Fort Trumbull in New London, Conn. The
academy adopted its current name in 1915 when the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service merged
with other federal maritime agencies to become the Coast Guard.

Biltmore Estate is a historic house museum and tourist attraction in Asheville, North Carolina.
Biltmore House (or Biltmore Mansion), the main residence, is a Châteauesque-style mansion
built for George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1889 and 1895 and is the largest privately
owned house in the United States, at 178,926 sq ft (16,622.8 m2) of floor space and 135,280
sq ft (12,568 m2) of living area. Still owned by George Vanderbilt's descendants, it remains
one of the most prominent examples of Gilded Age mansions. In the 1880s, at the height
of the Gilded Age, George Washington Vanderbilt II began to make regular visits with his
mother, Maria Louisa Kissam Vanderbilt, to the Asheville area. He loved the scenery and
climate so much that he decided to build a summer house in the area, which he called
his "little mountain escape". His older brothers and sisters had built luxurious summer
houses in places such as Newport, Rhode Island, the Gold Coast of Long Island, and Hyde
Park, New York. He instead decided to be here and he wasn't wrong.

Paul the World Cup octopus dies in his tank in Germany. Paul the octopus, an unlikely star of
the 2010 World Cup who predicted the outcome of eight matches, has died at an aquarium in
Germany. Staff at the Sea Life centre in Oberhausen said they were devastated to learn that
he had passed away during the night. Paul made his name by successfully choosing a
mussel from one of two boxes bearing the flags of competing nations. Octopuses rarely live
beyond two years so his death was not unexpected. Paul was two-and-a-half years old and
had been hatched at another centre at Weymouth in England in 2008. Uncanny knack. The
centre's manager, Stefan Porwoll, said that Paul had correctly guessed the outcomes of seven
of Germany's World Cup matches, including their defeats, and had "enthused people
across every continent".

The perceived wisdom among any sensible punter is that the bookie always wins. But for
one glorious summer in 2010, the bookies lost. Not only did they lose, but they lost to a
f*cking octopus. If we’re being honest, the 2010 World Cup was a bit of a stinker. England
were typically woeful, New Zealand were the only team to go unbeaten while still exiting
at the group stage, Holland did their best to kick their way through two hours of the final,
and the whole tournament was played against the backdrop of a cacophony of shrieking
vuvuzelas. While the likes of Wayne Rooney, Emile Heskey and Rob Green wilted in the
South African frost, there was, however, one English success story.
