rWotD Episode 3134: 1919: The Year That Changed America Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 2 December 2025, is 1919: The Year That Changed America.1919: The Year That Changed America is a 2019 non-fiction children's book by American author Martin W. Sandler. The book details various events from 1919, including the Great Molasses Flood in Boston, "which led to building code, municipal oversight, and corporate liability precedents", the Nineteenth Amendment's passing, racial tensions, the Red Scare, changing labor conditions, and the beginning of prohibition. Beyond discussing the events themselves, Sandler explain the long-standing impact of each in the United States.1919 was well received by critics. Kirkus Reviews referred to it as "an entertaining and instructive look at a tumultuous year," while Publishers Weekly highlighted "Sandler's narrative skill and eye for detail, and the abundant archival photos throughout," which they found "make for an engrossing resource". Stephanie Wilkes, writing for School Library Journal, described the book as "well researched and presented in an attractive manner" as it "delivers a solid look at a pivotal year". Most reviewers found the "100 Years Later" chapter, which connects the events of 1919 to the present, intriguing; however, Booklist's Carolyn Phelan noted that "a few sections stretch the concept rather far, presenting current issues such as climate change". Otherwise, Phelan found the book to be "an intriguing look back at America in 1919".The Washington Post named 1919 one of the best children's books of 2019. The following year, Bank Street College of Education named it one of the year's best history books for children ages 14 and older.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:00 UTC on Tuesday, 2 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 1919: The Year That Changed America on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kendra.

The election and unrest occurred in the context of the ongoing crisis in Venezuela.Statistical analyses by multiple organizations indicated that the election was won convincingly by Edmundo Gonzalez but those results have not been recognized by incumbent Nicolás Maduro; the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD), an alliance of opposition parties, released vote tallies at the precinct level indicating that González won by a wide margin, while the government-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) announced an unsubstantiated result, without any precinct-level tallies, stating Maduro won. Both candidates claimed victory, while many countries recognized González as the winner.Demonstrations to uphold the results of the election, along with vigils for political prisoners, occurred worldwide after the July election. Spontaneous protests broke out immediately after the election, while later rallies were organized by the Venezuelan opposition; Maduro claimed the opposition was encouraging a coup and has charged demonstraters with terrorism, while initiating an unprecedented crackdown. Maduro's security forces have gone door-to-door seeking to arrest protesters, poll workers and members of the opposition in what Maduro has referred to as Operation Tun Tun, and armed bands of Maduro supporters known as colectivos have joined security forces in repressing dissent. As of 14 August 2024, at least 2,200 persons are reported to have been arrested, and 25 killed; Maduro has announced plans to continue to seek the arrest of dissenters, and to rehabilitate two prisons to house those detained.The repression has been widely condemned by international groups; Amnesty International penned an open letter requesting urgent action from the International Criminal Court (ICC), on the basis of an ongoing ICC investigation of possible crimes against humanity under Maduro's regime.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:02 UTC on Friday, 7 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 2024 Venezuelan presidential election protests on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

rWotD Episode 3084: RsaOG Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Monday, 13 October 2025, is RsaOG.RsaOG (an acronym for RNA S. aureus Orsay G) is a non-coding RNA that was discovered in the pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus N315 using a large scale computational screening based on phylogenetic profiling. It was first identified, but not named, in 2005. RsaOG has since been identified in other strains of Staphylococcus aureus under the name of RsaI, it has also been discovered in other members of the Staphylococcus genus (such as Staphylococcus carnosus) but in no other bacteria.The RsaOG gene is conserved in all Staphylococcaceae sequenced genomes, its secondary structure contains two highly conserved unpaired sequences which have the ability to form a pseudoknot. Northern blot experiments show that RsaOG is expressed in several S. aureus strains. Mapping of RsaOG ends indicates a size of 146 nucleotides in S. aureus. RsaOG ncRNA is thought to have trans-acting regulatory functions, possibly on fine tuning toxin production or aiding with invasion.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:11 UTC on Monday, 13 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see RsaOG on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Patrick.
