newspapers, magazines

The first newspaper printed with color was the "Illustrated London News" Christmas Supplement on December 22, 1855. It featured a full-color cover and three additional full-page color images printed from woodblocks. While the Milwaukee Journal used blue and red in 1891, and the first color comic appeared in 1894, the "Illustrated London News" is recognized as the first newspaper to print a significant portion in full color.

The first magazine to include color illustrations was Scribner's Magazine, which was launched in 1887. While some magazines had hand-colored plates earlier, Scribner's Magazine was the first to feature color illustrations as a regular part of its content, according to Princeton University.

According to actual experiments conducted by an agency of the United States government, the average number of punches to the face needed to either render a foe incapacitated or compel him to capitulate is two. (Fights Hollywood shows are such bunk.) From this arose that cornerstone of training that advised that if an unavoidable conflict loomed, hit first, hit hard, hit often.

Hit hard, hit fast.  First punch straight in to the nose, and then a good, hard blow to the larynx.
