At birth, your newborn babyâs umbilical cord is clamped and cut. The clamp will be removed within 24 to 48 hours. The stump of the umbilical cord on your babyâs navel will look bluish-white and moist at first. However, the umbilical cord stump will quickly lose water and become black and dry.
Tuesday. The simple answer is that it was on a Tuesday that Julius Caesar (forever may his name be given honor) was horrifically killed by the conspiracy of Brutus and Cassius.

The first day of the week (for most), Sunday has been set aside as the âday of the sunâ since ancient Egyptian times in honor of the sun-god, beginning with Ra. The Egyptians passed their idea of a 7-day week onto the Romans, who also started their week with the Sunâs day, dies solis. Not every culture has Sunday as its first day, and notable exceptions are found in the Slavic languages, where Sunday is the last day of the week and is not named in honor of the sun.
