trailseekr asked: I need to rent a vehicle (out of Vegas) for a 9 day road trip through the national parks of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. I'll be hiking and backpacking so I'll have gear that will need to be stored when on short/day hikes. Since I've never been out there, I don't know how much off-roading time I'll actually be doing or what the conditions will be later this month. Any suggestions for vehicle and tips for the trip would be wonderful!

Anne Frank was one of the millions of Jewish victims of the Nazis during World War II. Although she was only 13 years old when she died, Anne Frank’s story has been told many times thanks to the diary she kept whilst she was in hiding in Amsterdam. Anne was born in Germany and along with her father (Otto), mother (Edith Frank-Hollander) and sister (Margot), fled to Holland to escape persecution.
Otto had set up a successful food business and part of the company was located in a building on Prinsengracht. In May 1940, Germany invaded Holland and they brought with them, the repression of the Jewish people. Fearful about the fate of his family, in July 1942, Otto Frank moved his family to an annex at the back of the building at 263 Prinsengracht. Later, the Franks were joined in the Annex by Hermann and Auguste van Pels, their son Peter and Fritz Pfeffer.

A new mosquito is threatening the unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands. Thought to be a “foreign” mosquito, studies released just this month show that the foreign invader may in fact be a native mosquito developing in an unusual way. Worse, if foreign mosquitoes really find their way to the Islands, they could devastate the Island’s wildlife.
