The fill came mostly from Needham

The firm of Goss and Munson extended railroad lines to quarries in Needham, Massachusetts, 9 miles (14 km) away; a 35-car train carrying gravel and other fill arrived every 45 minutes, day and night.[11] When the Needham gravel pits were exhausted, additional fill was found in Canton, Dedham, Hyde Park, and Westwood.[12] William Dean Howells recalled “the beginnings of Commonwealth Avenue, and the other streets of the Back Bay, laid out with their basements left hollowed in the made land, which the gravel trains were yet making out of the westward hills.”[13]

A single juror can hold up the delivery of a verdict, but they can’t “nullify” it after it’s been delivered.

Intense exercise, particularly cardio. Search for a good interval workout and push yourself to a barely-sustainable threshold pace. You’ll find yourself saying, “When is this going to end!? I can’t wait for this to be over!” Also do this in the mornings so you feel like you have the entire rest of the day to enjoy.

At press time, Arizona lawmakers revived a bill from the 1860s that would allow teachers to publicly hang any students accused of “sass mouth.”

Still a good read but this article is itself almost 10 years old.

If I accidentally carpetbomb my squad I am always quick to reinforce out of guilt 😬
