Each of the following events happened on August 24. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) The International Astronomical Union votes to demote Pluto from the ninth planet from the Sun to one of dozens of known dwarf planets.
• B) British troops enter Washington, D.C., and burn the White House in retaliation for the American attack on York in Ontario, Canada. Luckily, President James Madison and his first lady Dolley had already fled to safety in Maryland.
• C) Mount Vesuvius erupts in southern Italy, devastating the prosperous Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and killing thousands. The cities, buried under a thick layer of volcanic material and mud, were never rebuilt and largely forgotten in history.
• D) Pete Rose is banned from baseball after an investigation determines the former player and manager had bet on games, making the MLB’s all-time hit leader ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Hint: Pluto WAS the last planet in the Solar system

It's true. Most of the water drains away or dries up before the plant can use it. Same with fertilizer. But farmers still have to pay for all of it.

A farmer in Colorado found something that fixes this.

He tried it on 200 acres. The results were so good, he came back and ordered enough for 50,000 more acres.

That's Green Evolution Technologies’ InteliGel. It holds water and nutrients right where the plant can reach them.

Now they're raising capital to keep up with the orders, and help even more farmers.

Today’s Conjoiner is on the menu—if you’re a panda. Take a bite out of the clues and chew your way to victory.

The first clue of today’s sequence is: “Fast-growing plant with tall, hollow stems; known as a giant panda’s favorite snack”...
