June 9: National Sex Day: -- Dedicated to
the joys of having sexual relations, engaging in pleasurable
activities, and exploring each other's bodies. There is a lot more
to it than just getting physical - it's about connecting with
someone and creating and enjoying this otherworldly experience.
Sex is a primal instinct that no living species is alien to. It
has existed since the beginning of time and is what continues the
circle of life. The origins of the holiday are unknown, but it is
celebrated on June 9 because, numerically, the date is 6/9 - that
infamous sex position. The word 'coitus' originally comes from the
Latin word 'coire', meaning 'to go together.' It also referred to
planetary alignment and magnetic force, before its meaning
evolved, in 1885, into how it is used today in the sexual sense.
Although sex has existed forever, it was in India that the act
became viewed as artistic and sophisticated. The history of sex
took a pivotal turn when the first works of literature treating
intercourse as science were written in India. Many people believe
that sex education through literature and art was pioneered in
India and, until today, India has been the center of new-age
attitudes towards it. Many sexual practices started in India, such
as kissing on the lips, before spreading to the rest of the world.
The most popular sexual text from India is the "Kama Sutra,"
which revolutionized sex with its 64 variations of lovemaking.
This literature was originally intended for use by warriors,
philosophers, and the royals. Through physical connection, the
emotional bond between two people is also strengthened. From a
purely scientific perspective, the purpose of sex is mainly for
reproduction and maintaining a healthy body. There are many health
benefits of sex, including lower blood pressure levels and a form
of stress release. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

June 9: Coral Triangle Day: -- Protecting
vibrant marine ecosystems ensures the survival of countless
species and preserves the beauty of our oceans. The Coral
Triangle, more than 2 million miles of marine landscape, is
located in the western Pacific ocean and houses more than 75% of
the world's species of coral. This area is home to more than 600
species of live coral that build reefs, and 2,000 different types
of reef fish. Since the 1950s, scientists have shown that the
population of coral reefs has been cut in half, creating a dire
situation for coral and other marine wildlife. Global climate
change, pollution, overfishing, coral mining and other human
activities have been the main culprits for the destruction of this
important landscape of the ocean. Coral Triangle Day is here to
bring light to the need for everyone, all over the world, to pay
more attention and support efforts to help save this amazing area
of biodiversity. The inaugural celebration of Coral Triangle Day
took place in 2012 when it was founded through the efforts of the
Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries, and Food
Security (CTI-CFF). The event was purposefully set to take place
one day after World Oceans Day to add impactful attention around
the need to preserve and care for the world's center for marine
biodiversity. Coral Triangle Day is also part of a larger campaign
called Oceans Need Action, which encourages those involved in the
Coral Triangle region to address the issues of threats caused by
humans. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

June 9, 411 BC: Greece: Ancient Greece:
Ancient Greek Wars: The Peloponnesian War (Ancient Greek: Polemos
Ton Peloponnesion) (431-404 BC): The Athenian Coup Of 411 BC: --
Alcibiades, notorious but gifted Athenian general and statesman,
leads a number of prominent and wealthy Athenians in a successful
coup against the reigning democratic government, a revolution in
Athens that formed a short-lived oligarchy during the
Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, ruled by a
short-lived oligarchy known as The Four Hundred. In the wake of
the financial crisis caused by the catastrophic Sicilian
Expedition of the Athenian military in 413 BC, some high-status
Athenian men, who had disliked the broad-based democracy of the
city-state for a long time, sought to establish an oligarchy of
the elite. They believed that they could manage foreign, fiscal,
and war policies better than the existing government. The
government of the Four Hundred in Athens suffered from
instability, as conflict soon arose between moderates and
extremists among the oligarchs. The moderates, led by Theramenes
and Aristocrates, called for the replacement of the Four Hundred
with a broader oligarchy of "the 5,000", which would
include all citizens of zeugitai status or higher. Under pressure,
the extremist leaders opened peace negotiations with Sparta and
began constructing a fortification in the harbor of Piraeus, which
the moderates believed they planned to use to give Spartan armies
access to Athens. A confrontation ensued, which ended with the
hoplites in Piraeus tearing down the new fortification. Several
days later, the Four Hundred were replaced officially by the
5,000, who ruled for several more months, until after the Athenian
victory at The Battle Of Cyzicus in May or June 410 BC, when an
Athenian fleet commanded by Alcibiades, Thrasybulus, and
Theramenes routed and destroyed a Spartan fleet commanded by
Mindarus. The victory allowed Athens to recover control over a
number of cities in the Hellespont over the next year. In the wake
of their defeat, the Spartans made a peace offer, which the
Athenians rejected. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

(Russian: Pyotr I Alekseyevich), famously known as Peter The

elder half-brother, Ivan V, until 1696), founder and first Emperor
of The Russian Empire (Emperor Of All Russia) from 1721 until his
death in 1725, primarily responsible for the modernisation of the
country and transforming it into a major European power, founder
of the city of Saint Petersburg, which remained the capital of
Russia until 1918 (d. February 8 , 1725) is #born Peter Romanov in
Moscow, Tsardom of Russia. Through a number of successful wars, he
captured ports at Azov and the Baltic Sea, laying the groundwork
for the Imperial Russian Navy, ending uncontested Swedish
supremacy in the Baltic, and beginning Russia's expansion into an
empire. He led a cultural revolution that replaced some of the
backward, traditionalist and medieval social and political systems
with ones that were modern, scientific, Westernised, and based on
the Enlightenment, turning his country into a major power in the
Western world. Among his accomplishments, he completely overhauled
the government, the Greek Orthodox Church, the military system and
tax structure; established printing presses and published
translations of foreign books; modernized the calendar; simplified
the Russian alphabet; and introduced Arabic numerals. Peter's
reforms had a lasting impact on Russia, and many institutions of
the Russian government trace their origins to his reign. Following
his victory in the Great Northern War, he adopted the title of
emperor in 1721. Peter The Great died in St. Petersburg between
four and five in the morning of gangrene of the bladder caused by
uremia, aged fifty-two years and seven months, having reigned
forty-two years. He was succeeded by his wife Catherine. He is
interred in Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral, Saint Petersburg,
Russia. The first Russian university, Saint Petersburg State
University, was founded a year before his death, in 1724. The
second one, Moscow State University, was founded 30 years after
his death, during the reign of his daughter Elizabeth. On Sale @

Aontaithe], Ulster-Scots: The Hurries): The Battle Of Arklow (The
Second Battle Of Arklow) And The Battle Of Saintfield: -- The
Battle Of Arklow, also known as the Second Battle of Arklow, takes
place when a force of United Irishmen from Wexford, estimated at
10,000 strong, launched an assault into County Wicklow, on the
British-held town of Arklow, in an attempt to spread the rebellion
into Wicklow and to threaten the capital of Dublin. The Battle of
Saintfield was a short but bloody clash in County Down, in
Northern Ireland. The battle was the first major conflict of the
Irish Rebellion Of 1798 in Down. The Irish Rebellion Of 1798
(Irish: Eiri Amach 1798), also known as the United Irishmen
Rebellion (Irish: Eiri Amach na nEireannach Aontaithe), was an
uprising against British rule in Ireland lasting from May to
September 1798. The Society Of United Irishmen, a republican
revolutionary group influenced by the ideas of the American and
French revolutions, were the main organising force behind the
rebellion. The outbreak of war between Great Britain and France in
1793, following both the succesful American Revolutionary War and
the execution of the French King Louis XVI, forced the Society
underground and toward armed insurrection, with French aid. To
augment their growing strength, the United Irish leadership
decided to seek military help from the French revolutionary
government and to postpone the rising until French troops landed
in Ireland. Theobald Wolfe Tone, leader of the United Irishmen,
travelled in exile from the United States to France to press the
case for intervention. The intimate nature of the conflict meant
that the rebellion at times took on the worst characteristics of a
civil war, especially in Leinster. Sectarian resentment was
fuelled by the remaining Penal Laws still in force. Rumours of
planned massacres by both sides were common in the days before the
rising and led to a widespread climate of fear. Contemporary
estimates put the death toll from 20,000 to as many as 50,000 of
which 2,000 were military and 1,000 loyalist civilians. A
significant number of modern historians argue that these numbers
are too high or too low. In support of some modern research argues
that these figures may be too high, a list of British soldiers
killed, compiled for a fund to aid the families of dead soldiers,
listed just 530 names; also, professor Louis Cullen, through an
examination of depletion of the population in County Wexford
between 1798 and 1820, put the fatalities in that county due to
the rebellion at 6,000. Historian Thomas Bartlett therefore
argues, "a death toll of 10,000 for the entire island would
seem to be in order". In support of the belief that the death
toll may be even higher than contemporary estimates suggest as the
widespread fear of repression among relatives of slain rebels led
to mass concealment of casualties. The popular Irish ballad The
Rising of the Moon recounts the loss of the United Irishmen.
Written as early as the 1860s, the song has been since performed
by many musicians, including The Dubliners. On Sale @ 15% Off

Stonewall Jackson concludes his successful Jackson's Valley
Campaign with a victory in the Battle of Port Republic; his
tactics during the campaign are now studied by militaries around
the world. The Battle of Port Republic was fought on June 9, 1862,
in Rockingham County, Virginia, as part of Confederate Army Maj.
Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's campaign through
the Shenandoah Valley during the American Civil War. Port Republic
was a fierce contest between two equally determined foes and was
the most costly battle fought by Jackson's Army of the Valley
during its campaign. Together, the battles of Cross Keys (fought
the previous day) and Port Republic were the decisive victories in
Jackson's Valley Campaign, forcing the Union armies to retreat and
leaving Jackson free to reinforce Gen. Robert E. Lee for the Seven
Days Battles outside Richmond, Virginia. Jackson's Valley Campaign
was Confederate Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall"
Jackson's spring 1862 campaign through the Shenandoah Valley in
Virginia. Employing audacity and rapid, unpredictable movements on
interior lines, Jackson's 17,000 men marched 646 miles (1,040 km)
in 48 days and won several minor battles as they successfully
engaged three Union armies (52,000 men), preventing them from

Campaign: The Sino-French War (The Tonkin War): Unequal Treaties:
The Treaty of Tianjin (1885) (Chinese: Zhong Fa Xinyue, "The
Sino-French New Testament"): -- The Sino-French War
officially ends with the signing of The Treaty Of Tientsin by
France and Qing China, with China eventually giving up Tonkin and
Annam - most of present-day Vietnam - in the culmination of a
series of four treaties signed variously between 1884 and 1885
between France and China, and France and Vietnam, relevent to
these territories. The unequal treaty, in ten articles, restated
in greater detail the main provisions of the Tientsin Accord,
signed between France and China on May 11, 1884. As Article 2
required China to recognise the French protectorate over Annam and
Tonkin established by the Treaty of Hue in June 1884, implicitly
abandoning her own claims to suzerainty over Vietnam, the treaty
formalised France's diplomatic victory in the Sino-French War. The
Tientsin Accord or Li-Fournier Convention, concluded on May 11,
1884, was intended to settle an undeclared war between France and
China over the sovereignty of Tonkin (northern Vietnam). The
convention, negotiated by Li Hongzhang for China and capitaine de
vaisseau Francois-Ernest Fournier for France, provided for a
Chinese troop withdrawal from Tonkin in return for a comprehensive
treaty that would settle details of trade and commerce between
France and China and provide for the demarcation of its disputed
border with Vietnam. The Treaty of Hue or Protectorate Treaty was
concluded on June 6, 1884 between France and Annam (Vietnam). It
restated the main tenets of the punitive Harmand Treaty of August
25, 1883, but softened some of the harsher provisions of this
treaty. The treaty, which formed the basis for the protectorates
of Annam and Tonkin, and for French colonial rule in Vietnam
during the next seven decades, was negotiated by Jules Patenotre,
France's minister to China, and is often known as the Patenotre
Treaty. The treaty was signed on the Vietnamese side by Pham Than
Duat and Ton That Phan, representatives of the emperor Tu Duc's
court. It is known in Vietnamese as Hoa uoc Giap Than 1884, or Hoa
uoc Patenotre. The Treaty of Hue, concluded on August 25, 1883
between France and Vietnam, recognised a French protectorate over
Annam and Tonkin. Dictated to the Vietnamese by the French
administrator Francois-Jules Harmand in the wake of the French
military seizure of the Thuan An forts, the treaty is often known
as the 'Harmand Treaty'. Considered overly harsh in French
diplomatic circles, the treaty was never ratified in France, and
was replaced on June 6, 1884 with the slightly milder 'Patenotre
Treaty' or 'Treaty of Protectorate', which formed the basis for
French rule in Vietnam for the next seven decades. On Sale @ 15%

June 9, 1893: #BOTD: #HBD! Cole Porter,
American composer and songwriter (d. October 15, 1964) is #born
Cole Albert Porter to a wealthy family in Peru, Indiana. Many of
his songs became standards noted for their witty, urbane lyrics,
and many of his scores found success on Broadway and in film. He
published his first song The Bobolink Waltz at the age of ten.
Porter defied his grandfather's wishes and took up music as a
profession. Classically trained, he was drawn to musical theatre.
After a slow start, he began to achieve success in the 1920s, and
by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Broadway
musical stage. Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter
wrote the lyrics as well as the music for his songs. After a
serious horseback riding accident in 1937, Porter was left
disabled and in constant pain, but he continued to work. His shows
of the early 1940s did not contain the lasting hits of his best
work of the 1920s and 1930s, but in 1948 he made a triumphant
comeback with his most successful musical, Kiss Me, Kate. It won
the first Tony Award for Best Musical. Porter's other musicals
include Fifty Million Frenchmen, DuBarry Was a Lady, Anything
Goes, Can-Can and Silk Stockings. His numerous hit songs include
"Night and Day", "Begin the Beguine", "I
Get a Kick Out of You", "Well, Did You Evah!",
"I've Got You Under My Skin", "My Heart Belongs to
Daddy" and "You're the Top". He also composed
scores for films from the 1930s to the 1950s, including Born to
Dance (1936), which featured the song "You'd Be So Easy to
Love"; Rosalie (1937), which featured "In the Still of
the Night"; High Society (1956), which included "True
Love"; and Les Girls (1957). Porter died of kidney failure on
October 15, 1964, in Santa Monica, California, at the age of 73.
He is interred in Mount Hope Cemetery in his native Peru, Indiana,
between his wife and father. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till

June 9, 1900: #BOTD: #HBD! Fred Waring,
popular American musician, singer, bandleader, radio and
television personality, nicknamed "America's Singing Master"
and "The Man Who Taught America How to Sing", promoter,
financial backer and eponym of the Waring Blendor, the first
modern electric blender on the market (d. July 29, 1984) is #born
Fredrick Malcolm Waring in Tyrone, Pennsylvania to Jesse
Calderwood and Frank Waring. During his teen years, Waring, his
brother Tom, and their friend Poley McClintock founded the
Waring-McClintock Snap Orchestra, which evolved into Fred Waring's
Banjo Orchestra. The band often played at fraternity parties,
proms, and dances, and achieved local success. Waring attended
Penn State University, where he studied architectural engineering.
He aspired to be in the Penn State Glee Club, but he was rejected
with every audition. His Banjo Orchestra became so successful that
he decided to abandon his education to tour with the band, which
eventually became known as Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians.
From 1923 until late 1932, "Waring's Pennsylvanians"
were among Victor Records' best-selling bands. In late 1932,
Waring abruptly quit recording, although his band continued to
perform on radio. In 1933, "You Gotta Be a Football Hero"
was performed on radio to great acclaim. His 1930 recording of
"Love for Sale" by Cole Porter is one of the only period
versions of this popular song. The Fred Waring Show was heard on
radio in various forms from 1933 to 1957. Adding a men's singing
group to his ensemble, he recruited Robert Shaw, recently out of
the Pomona College glee club, to train his singers. Shaw later
founded the Robert Shaw Chorale and directed the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra and Chorus. Pembroke Davenport (1911-85) was Waring's
pianist and arranger. During World War II, Waring and his ensemble
appeared at war bond rallies and entertained the troops at
training camps. He composed and performed dozens of patriotic
songs, his most famous being "My America". In 1943, he
acquired the Buckwood Inn in Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania,
and renamed the resort the Shawnee Inn. To promote the inn, he
centered his musical activities at the inn itself. He created,
rehearsed, and broadcast his radio programs from the stage of
Shawnee's Worthington Hall throughout the 1950s. During the 1940s
and early 1950s, Waring and His Pennsylvanians produced a string
of hits, selling millions of records. A few of his many choral
hits include "Sleep", "Battle Hymn of the
Republic", "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", "Button
Up Your Overcoat", "White Christmas", "Give Me
Your Tired, Your Poor", and "Dancing in the Dark".
The song, "Breezin' Along with the Breeze" was used as a
signature tune by Fred Waring. In 1947, Waring organized the Fred
Waring Choral Workshop at his Pennsylvania headquarters in the old
Castle Inn in Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania, which was also the
home of Shawnee Press, the music publisher which he founded. At
these sessions, musicians learned to sing with precision,
sensitivity, and enthusiasm. When these vocalists returned home
and shared what they had learned with fellow musicians, Waring's
approach to choral singing spread throughout the nation. Waring
expanded into television with The Fred Waring Show, which ran on
CBS Television from June 20, 1948, to May 30, 1954, and received
several awards for Best Musical Program. (The show was 60 minutes
long until January 1952, and 30 minutes thereafter.) In the 1960s
and 1970s, popular musical tastes turned from choral music, but
Waring changed with the times, introducing his Young
Pennsylvanians, a group of fresh-faced, long-haired, bell-bottomed
performers who sang old favorites and choral arrangements of
contemporary songs. In this way he continued as a popular touring
attraction, logging some 40,000 miles a year. In the 1930s,
inventor Frederick Jacob Osius went to Waring for financial
backing for an electric blender he had patented. The Osius patent
(#2,109,501) was filed March 13, 1937, and awarded March 1, 1938.
Some 25K USD later, the Waring-owned Miracle Mixer was introduced
to the public at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago retailing
for 29.75 USD. In 1938, Fred Waring renamed his Miracle Mixer
Corporation as the Waring Corporation, and the mixer's name was
changed to the Waring Blendor (the "o" in blendor giving
it a slight distinction from "blender"). The Waring
Blendor became an important tool in hospitals for the
implementation of specific diets, as well as a vital scientific
research device. Jonas Salk used it while developing his polio
vaccine. In 1954, the millionth Waring Blendor was sold. In 1983,
the 83-year-old Waring was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal,
the nation's highest honor for a civilian. In Long Beach,
California, Fred Waring Drive is named for him. Another Fred
Waring Drive is a major arterial road in the Palm Desert-Indio
area of Southern California where many major roads are named for
post-World War II-era entertainers. The Waring Golf Course north
of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was named after Waring, and he had an
ownership interest in it. Waring was the Shepherd (president) of
The Lambs, America's oldest social club for actors, songwriters,
and others involved in the theatre locarted in New York City, from
1939-1942. In 1997, a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs Walk of
Stars was dedicated to him. Waring was a cartoon and comic strip
collector. A Penn State meeting room by the West Wing restaurant
has dozens of cartoons drawn by artists such as Al Hirschfeld in
Waring's honor. From 1943 to 1974, Waring owned the Shawnee Inn
and Country Club, a golf resort located at Shawnee on Delaware,
Pennsylvania near Stroudsburg. In 1948, two years after the
National Cartoonists Society was formed, Waring invited members of
that organization to spend a day at the Shawnee Inn. It became an
annual event, held each June for the next 25 years, resulting in a
huge collection of artwork created for Waring by the cartoonists,
including many drawn on Shawnee Inn stationery. The Fred Waring
Collection has more than 600 cartoon originals, including over 50
of the laminated table tops. Waring died of a stroke at his summer
home on July 29, 1984, in State College, Pennsylvania after
videotaping a concert with his ensemble and completing his annual
summer choral workshop, aged 84; he is buried at Shawnee
Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Shawnee On Delaware, Pennsylvania.
He conducted many such workshops at Penn State in his later years,
and in 1984, designated Penn State to house his collection of
archives and memorabilia. He also served his alma mater as a
trustee and was named a distinguished alumnus of the university.

into obscurity. After a long absence from the public eye, James
was "rediscovered" in 1964 by blues enthusiasts, helping
further the blues and folk music revival of the 1950s and early
1960s. During this period, James appeared at folk and blues
festivals, gave concerts around the country and recorded several
albums for various record labels. James subsequently recorded for
Takoma Records, Melodeon Records, and Vanguard Records and
performed at various engagements until his death from cancer in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the age of 67. He is buried at
Merion Memorial Parkin Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. His songs have
influenced generations of musicians and have been adapted by
numerous artists. He has been hailed as "one of the seminal
figures of the blues.". History's first supergroup. the White
blues band Cream, recorded his song "I'm So Glad" in
1966 to raise money for an operation to save his life from cancer,
using the royalty money Cream paid James for using his song. It
provided James with 10K USD in royalties, the only windfall of his
career, and likely extended his life a further four more years.
Nevertheless, Skip James ultimately died of that cancer in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, aged 67. At Cream's final concert of
November 26, 1968, the third song they played was Skip James' "I'm
So Glad". On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

the sinking of the RMS Lusitania by the German Submarine (U-Boat)
SM U-20. After the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine
in 1915, Wilson made strong demands on Germany that Bryan
disagreed with, as he hoped to avoid entering World War I. Bryan
resigned from office in 1915, and the United States entered the
war two years later. There has long been a theory, expressed by
historian and former British naval intelligence officer Patrick
Beesly and authors Colin Simpson and Donald E. Schmidt among
others, that Lusitania was deliberately placed in danger by the
British authorities, so as to entice a U-boat attack and thereby
drag the US into the war on the side of Britain. A week before the
sinking of Lusitania, Winston Churchill wrote to Walter Runciman,
the President of the Board of Trade, stating that it is "most
important to attract neutral shipping to our shores, in the hope
especially of embroiling the United States with Germany.". On

American jazz, country, and blues guitarist, songwriter, luthier,
sound recording innovator and pioneer and inventor, one of the
pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar and its techniques,
inspiration for and co-creator of the Gibson Les Paul electric
guitar (d. August 12, 2009) is #born Lester William Polsfuss in
Waukesha, Wisconsin into a family of German ancestry. Paul taught
himself how to play guitar, and while he is mainly known for jazz
and popular music, he had an early career in country music. He is
credited with many recording innovations. Although he was not the
first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing
(also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay,
phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to
attract widespread attention. His innovative talents extended into
his playing style, including licks, trills, chording sequences,
fretting techniques and timing, which set him apart from his
contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day. He
recorded with his wife, the singer and guitarist Mary Ford, in the
1950s, and they sold millions of records. Among his many honors,
Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone
exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is prominently named
by the music museum on its website as an "architect" and
a "key inductee" with Sam Phillips and Alan Freed. Les
Paul is the only person to be included in both the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Les Paul
died of complications from pneumonia at White Plains Hospital in

Waukesha, Wisconsin on August 21, 2009. After hearing about his
death, many musicians commented on his importance. Slash called
him "vibrant and full of positive energy", while Richie
Sambora called him a "revolutionary in the music business".

McNamara, American businessman and politician, 8th United States
Secretary Of Defense from 1961 to 1968 under Presidents John F.
Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson (d. July 6, 2009) is #born Robert
Strange McNamara in San Francisco, California. He played a major
role in escalating the United States involvement in the Vietnam
War. McNamara was responsible for the institution of systems
analysis in public policy, which developed into the discipline
known today as policy analysis. He graduated from UC Berkeley and
Harvard Business School and served in the United States Army Air
Forces during World War II. After the war, Henry Ford II hired
McNamara and a group of other Army Air Force veterans to work for
Ford Motor Company. These "Whiz Kids" helped reform Ford
with modern planning, organization, and management control
systems. After briefly serving as Ford's president, McNamara
accepted appointment as Secretary Of Defense. On March 13, 1962,
Lyman Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff, delivered
a proposal to Secretary Of Defense Robert McNamara called
Operation Northwoods, involving false flag terrorist attacks using
civilian airliners as missiles up against Guantanamo Bay Naval
Base and buildings in the contintal United States (much like the
9/11 attacks) in order to blame those attacks on Fidel Castro. The
proposal is scrapped and President John F. Kennedy removes
Lemnitzer from his position. McNamara became a close adviser to
Kennedy and advocated the use of a blockade during the Cuban
Missile Crisis. Kennedy and McNamara instituted a Cold War defense
strategy of flexible response, which anticipated the need for
military responses short of massive retaliation. McNamara
consolidated intelligence and logistics functions of the Pentagon
into two centralized agencies: the Defense Intelligence Agency and
the Defense Supply Agency. During the Kennedy administration,
McNamara presided over a build-up in U.S. soldiers in South
Vietnam. After the 1964 Gulf Of Tonkin incident, the number of
U.S. soldiers in Vietnam escalated dramatically. McNamara and
other U.S. policymakers feared that the fall of South Vietnam to a
Communist regime would lead to the fall of other governments in
the region. McNamara grew increasingly skeptical of the efficacy
of committing U.S. soldiers to Vietnam. In 1968, McNamara resigned
as Secretary Of Defense to become President of the World Bank. He
remains the longest serving Secretary Of Defense, having remained
in office over seven years. He served as President of the World
Bank until 1981, shifting the focus of the World Bank towards
poverty reduction. After retiring, he served as a trustee of
several organizations, including the California Institute of
Technology and the Brookings Institution. Robert McNamara died at
5:30 am at his home in Washington, D.C. at the age of 93. He is
buried at the Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia,
with the grave marker also commemorating his wives. McNamara's
papers from his years as Secretary of Defense are housed in the

Transpacific Flight: The Transpacific Flight Of Charles Kingsford
Smith: -- Charles Kingsford Smith completes the first
trans-Pacific flight when he flies his Fokker trimotor monoplane,
the Southern Cross, from the United States to Australia. In 1928,
Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm arrived in the United States and
began to search for an aircraft. Famed Australian polar explorer
Sir Hubert Wilkins sold them a Fokker F.VII/3m monoplane, which
they named the Southern Cross. At 8:54 a.m. on May 31, 1928,
Kingsford Smith, known by his nickname Smithy, and his 4-man crew
left Oakland, California, to attempt the first trans-Pacific
flight to Australia. The flight was in three stages. The first,
from Oakland to Wheeler Army Airfield, Hawaii, was 3,870
kilometres (2,400 mi), taking an uneventful 27 hours 25 minutes
(87.54 mph). They took off from Barking Sands on Mana, Kauai,
since the runway at Wheeler was not long enough. They headed for
Suva, Fiji, 5,077 kilometres (3,155 mi) away, taking 34 hours 30
minutes (91.45 mph). This was the most demanding portion of the
journey, as they flew through a massive lightning storm near the
equator.] The third leg was the shortest, 2,709 kilometres (1,683
mi) in 20 hours (84.15 mph), and crossed the Australian coastline
near Ballina before turning north to fly 170 kilometres (110 mi)
to Brisbane, where they landed at 10.50 a.m. on June 9. The total
flight distance was approximately 11,566 kilometres (7,187 mi).
Kingsford Smith was met by a huge crowd of 26,000 at Eagle Farm
Airport, and was welcomed as a hero. Australian aviator Charles
Ulm was the relief pilot. The other crewmen were Americans, they
were James Warner, the radio operator, and Captain Harry Lyon, the
navigator and engineer. The National Film and Sound Archive of
Australia has a film biography of Kingsford Smith, called An
Airman Remembers, and recordings of Kingsford Smith and Ulm
talking about the journey. A stamp sheet and stamps, featuring the
Australian aviators Kingsford Smith and Ulm, were released by
Australia Post in 1978, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the
flight. Sir Charles Edward Kingsford Smith, MC, AFC (February 9,
1897 - November 8, 1935), also made the first non-stop crossing of
the Australian mainland, the first flights between Australia and
New Zealand, and the first eastward Pacific crossing from
Australia to the United States; and, also, made a flight from
Australia to London, setting a new record of 10.5 days. On Sale @

nicknamed "Mr. Excitement" (d. January 21, 1984) is
#born Jack Leroy Wilson Jr. in Highland Park, Michigan, as the
third and only surviving child of singer-songwriter Jack Leroy
Wilson, Sr. (1903-1983) and Eliza Mae Wilson (1900-1975). A tenor
with a four-octave range, Wilson was a prominent figure in the
transition of rhythm and blues into soul. Wilson was considered a
master showman and one of the most dynamic singers and performers
in pop, R & B, and rock and roll history. Wilson gained
initial fame as a member of the R & B vocal group Billy Ward
and His Dominoes. He went solo in 1957 and scored over 50 chart
singles spanning the genres of R & B, pop, soul, doo-wop and
easy listening, including 16 R & B Top 10 hits, in which six R
& B of the repertoire ranked as number ones. On the Billboard
Hot 100, Wilson scored 14 top 20 pop hits, six of which reached
the top 10. Wilson was posthumously inducted to the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 1987. He was also inducted into the National
Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. Two of Wilson's recordings were
inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. He was honored with
the Rhythm and Blues Foundation's Legacy Tribute Award in 2003. In
2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Jackie Wilson No. 69 on its
list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, and number 26 as one
of the greatest singers of all time. Wilson had a habit of taking
a handful of salt tablets and drinking large amounts of water
before each performance, to create profuse sweating; Wilson told
Elvis Presley, "The chicks love it." A side effect would
have been hypertension. On September 29, 1975, Wilson was one of
the featured acts in Dick Clark's Good Ol' Rock and Roll Revue,
hosted by the Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He was in
the middle of singing "Lonely Teardrops" when he
suffered a massive heart attack. On the words "My heart is
crying" he collapsed on stage; audience members applauded as
they initially thought it was part of the act. He slipped into a
coma, and died on January 21, 1984, at age 49 from complications
of pneumonia. He was initially buried in an unmarked grave at
Westlawn Cemetery near Detroit. In 1987, fans raised money in a
fundraiser spearheaded by an Orlando disc jockey Jack (the Rapper)
Gibson to purchase a mausoleum. On June 9, 1987, his 53rd
birthday, a ceremony was held and Wilson was interred in the
mausoleum at Westlawn Cemetery in Wayne, Michigan. His mother
Eliza Wilson, who died in 1975, was also placed in the mausoleum.
After Wilson's death, Michael Jackson honored Jackie Wilson at the
1984 Grammy Awards Jackson dedicated his Album of the Year Grammy

French Resistance group Francs-Tireur (French: "Snipers")

his death and burial details are not publicly disclosed. Wilhelm
Theodor H. Wulff was born in Hamburg, Germany at 8:15 AM. In 1912
Wulff came across the horoscopes which Kepler had cast for
Wallenstein, initially in 1608 and then a corrected version, based
on more accurate birth data, in 1625. Wulff was so impressed with
Kepler's work that he studied the celestial science and became one
of the leading astrologers in Nazi Germany. In his 1968 book
"Zodiac and Swastika: How Astrology Guided Hitler's Germany",
Wulff recounts how Arthur Nebe -- SS functionary who held key
positions in the security and police apparatus of Nazi Germany and
was, from 1941, a major perpetrator of the Holocaust -- and Walter
Schellenberg -- SS functionary who becomed one of the highest
ranking men in the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) and eventually assumed
the position as head of foreign intelligence for Nazi Germany
following the abolition of the Abwehr in 1944 -- assigned him
various astrological tasks; he also mentions that they had used
pendulum dowsers like Ludwig Straniak -- a mystic Germanic
revivalist noted for his pendulum work and forced against his will
to work for the Nazis by holding his family hostage -- for similar
purposes. Wulff concludes his book by arguing that "National
Socialism was smashed and disappeared from the scene. Astrology
[...] remained". The historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke takes
the book as evidence that Wulff was consulted by Heinrich Himmler
in the last weeks of the war. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till

Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no

of hearings held by the United States Senate's Subcommittee on
Investigations (April-June 1954) to investigate conflicting
accusations between the United States Army and U.S. Senator Joseph
McCarthy. The Army accused Chief Committee Counsel Roy Cohn of
pressuring the Army to give preferential treatment to G. David
Schine, a former McCarthy aide and friend of Cohn's. McCarthy
counter-charged that this accusation was made in bad faith and in
retaliation for his recent aggressive investigations of suspected
Communists and security risks in the Army. Chaired by Senator Karl
Mundt, the hearings convened on March 16, 1954, and received
considerable press attention, including gavel-to-gavel live
television coverage on ABC and DuMont (April 22-June 17). The
media coverage, particularly television, greatly contributed to
McCarthy's decline in popularity and his eventual censure by the

Washington (1732-1799), the first president of the United States,
and was the first of that name to be purpose-built as a warship.
She was commissioned on December 30, 1959 as SSBN-598 with
Commander James B. Osborn in command of the Blue crew (the crew
that staffed her during her first deterrent patrol) and Commander
John L. From, Jr. in command of the Gold crew (the shakedown

submarine USS Scorpion (SSN-589). During construction, she was
lengthened by the insertion of a 130 ft (40 m)-long ballistic
missile section and renamed George Washington. Because the
ballistic missile compartment design of George Washington was
intended to be reused in later ship classes, the section inserted
into George Washington was designed with a deeper test depth

Xoai, one of the largest battles in the war. The Battle Of Dong
Xoai (Vietnamese: Tran Dong Xoai) was a major battle fought during
the National Liberation Front Summer Offensive of 1965 as part of
the Vietnam War. The battle took place in Phuoc Long Province,
South Vietnam, between June 9 and 13, 1965. In 1964, General
Nguyen Khanh gained control of the South Vietnamese government
after General Duong Van Minh was overthrown in a military coup.
Although General Khanh was able to gain control of the military
junta, he failed to garner support from the civilian population
when he implemented various laws which limited the freedoms of the
South Vietnamese people. He then had a falling-out with the
Catholic faction within his own government, when he became
increasingly reliant on the Buddhist movement to hold on to power.
Consequently, on February 20, 1965, General Khanh was ousted from
power and was forced to leave South Vietnam forever. The political
instability in Saigon gave North Vietnamese leaders in Hanoi an
opportunity to step up their military campaign in the south. They
believed the South Vietnamese government was able to survive
because it still had a strong military to combat the growing
influence of the Viet Cong. With the summer campaign of 1965,
North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces aimed to inflict significant
losses on the South Vietnamese military. In Phuoc Long Province,
the Communist summer offensive culminated in the Dong Xoai
campaign. The fight for Dong Xoai began on the evening of June 9,
1965, when the Viet Cong 272nd Regiment attacked and captured the
Civilian Irregular Defense Group and U.S. Special Forces camp
there. In response to the sudden Viet Cong assault, the Army of
the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) Joint General Staff ordered the
ARVN 1st Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, to retake Dong Xoai
district. They arrived on the battlefield on June 10, but were
quickly overwhelmed by the Viet Cong 271st Regiment near Thuan
Loi. Later that day, Dong Xoai was recaptured by the ARVN 52nd
Ranger Battalion, which had survived an ambush while marching
towards the district. On June 11, further South Vietnamese
reinforcements arrived in the form of the ARVN 7th Airborne
Battalion. The South Vietnamese paratroopers, while searching for
survivors of the 1st Battalion in the Thuan Loi rubber plantation,
were defeated in a deadly ambush by the Viet Cong. On June 13 U.S.
Army General William Westmoreland decided to insert elements of
the U.S. 173rd Airborne Brigade into a major battle for the first
time, because he feared the Viet Cong could secure a major base
area in Phuoc Long Province. By that time, however, the Viet Cong
had already withdrawn from the battlefield, so the U.S.
paratroopers were ordered to return to base without a fight. On

Israeli Attack On The Golan Heights: -- The two-day Israeli Attack
On The Golan Heights begins on the morning of June 9 as Israeli
jets, using rockets salvaged from captured Egyptian stocks, carry
out dozens of sorties against Syrian positions from Mount Hermon
to Tawfiq. The airstrikes knocked out artillery batteries and
storehouses and forced transport columns off the roads. The
Syrians suffered heavy casualties and a drop in morale, with a
number of senior officers and troops deserting. The attacks also
provided time as Israeli forces cleared paths through Syrian
minefields. However, the airstrikes did not seriously damage the
Syrians' bunkers and trench systems, and the bulk of Syrian forces
on the Golan remained in their positions. About two hours after
the airstrikes began, the 8th Armored Brigade, led by Colonel
Albert Mandler, advanced into the Golan Heights from Givat HaEm.
Its advance was spearheaded by Engineering Corps sappers and eight
bulldozers, which cleared away barbed wire and mines. As they
advanced, the force came under fire, and five bulldozers were
immediately hit. The Israeli tanks, with their manoeuvrability
sharply reduced by the terrain, advanced slowly under fire toward
the fortified village of Sir al-Dib, with their ultimate objective
being the fortress at Qala. Israeli casualties steadily mounted.
Part of the attacking force lost its way and emerged opposite
Za'ura, a redoubt manned by Syrian reservists. With the situation
critical, Colonel Mandler ordered simultaneous assaults on Za'ura
and Qala. Heavy and confused fighting followed, with Israeli and
Syrian tanks struggling around obstacles and firing at extremely
short ranges. Mandler recalled that "the Syrians fought well
and bloodied us. We beat them only by crushing them under our
treads and by blasting them with our cannons at very short range,
from 100 to 500 meters." The first three Israeli tanks to
enter Qala were stopped by a Syrian bazooka team, and a relief
column of seven Syrian tanks arrived to repel the attackers. The
Israelis took heavy fire from the houses, but could not turn back,
as other forces were advancing behind them, and they were on a
narrow path with mines on either side. The Israelis continued
pressing forward and called for air support. A pair of Israeli
jets destroyed two of the Syrian tanks, and the remainder
withdrew. The surviving defenders of Qala retreated after their
commander was killed. Meanwhile, Za'ura fell in an Israeli
assault, and the Israelis also captured the 'Ein Fit fortress. In
the central sector, the Israeli 181st Battalion captured the
strongholds of Dardara and Tel Hillal after fierce fighting.
Desperate fighting also broke out along the operation's northern
axis, where Golani Brigade attacked thirteen Syrian positions,
including the formidable Tel Fakhr position. Navigational errors
placed the Israelis directly under the Syrians' guns. In the
fighting that followed, both sides took heavy casualties, with the
Israelis losing all nineteen of their tanks and half-tracks. The
Israeli battalion commander then ordered his twenty-five remaining
men to dismount, divide into two groups, and charge the northern
and southern flanks of Tel Fakhr. The first Israelis to reach the
perimeter of the southern approach laid on the barbed wire,
allowing their comrades to vault over them. From there, they
assaulted the fortified Syrian positions. The fighting was waged
at extremely close quarters, often hand-to-hand. On the northern
flank, the Israelis broke through within minutes and cleared out
the trenches and bunkers. During the seven-hour battle, the
Israelis lost 31 dead and 82 wounded, while the Syrians lost 62
dead and 20 captured. Among the dead was the Israeli battalion
commander. The Golani Brigade's 51st Battalion took Tel 'Azzaziat,
and Darbashiya also fell to Israeli forces. By the evening of June
9, the four Israeli brigades had all broken through to the
plateau, where they could be reinforced and replaced. Thousands of
reinforcements began reaching the front, those tanks and
half-tracks that had survived the previous day's fighting were
refuelled and replenished with ammunition, and the wounded were
evacuated. By dawn, the Israelis had eight brigades in the sector.
Syria's first line of defence had been shattered, but the defences
beyond that remained largely intact. Mount Hermon and the Banias
in the north, and the entire sector between Tawfiq and Customs
House Road in the south remained in Syrian hands. In a meeting
early on the night of June 9, Syrian leaders decided to reinforce
those positions as quickly as possible and to maintain a steady
barrage on Israeli civilian settlements. On June 5, 1967, the
Six-Day War began as Israel launched surprise strikes against
Egyptian air-fields in response to the mobilisation of Egyptian
forces on the Israeli border. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till

Today, June 19, 2026
June 9: National Mitchell Day: --
Mitchell is a name that has been used as a given name in the U.S.
since at least the 19th Century. Mitchell was a reasonably common
boy's name during the 20th Century, but his popularity peaked in
the 1990s - for 10 years, from 1988 to 1997, Mitchell was a Top
100 most popular boy's name. Over 5,000 baby boys were given the
name in 1994, which may not seem like a large number, but it is a
significant quantity in comparison. The popularity of the name has
declined significantly as we have entered the 21st Century. In the
last decade, Mitchell has dropped over 300 ranks on the male
naming lists, taking him from popular to unused and hardly
fashionable. Mitchell is a shortened form of the English and
Scottish surname Mitchell, derived from a medieval nickname for
Michael based on the Norman pronunciation of the French Michel.
The surname was spelled 'Michel' for the first time in the early
13th Century. Michael, of course, is derived from the Hebrew
'mikha'el,' which translates as 'Who is like God?' One could think
it's strange to have a first name that begs the question. The
inquiry, however, is regarded to be rhetorical. The implication is
clear: no one compares to God. As a result, Michael's name is
frequently translated as 'humble.' Michael was one of the
archangels that stood near to God and carried out His judgments,
as well as a guardian of the ancient Hebrews, according to the
Bible. Michael was the leading commander of the angels who fought
and defeated the dragon, causing him to fall from heaven. As a
result, he became a patron saint of soldiers and a symbol of the
Church Militant. Michael rose to prominence during the Crusades,
Christian holy wars against Muslims for the Holy Land, when
western Europeans considered themselves warriors of God. By its
translated meaning, the name Michael evokes a sense of power,
courage, and strength, but it is also a sign of humility
represented very simply by one question mark. Mitchell's name has
had the most success in Australia of any English-speaking country.
Every year, slightly over 700 infant boys are given the name. We
like the concept of using Mitchell as a modern spin on Michael,
the father's name. Mitchell is more modern and trendy than the old
standby Michael. Mitchell, on the other hand, has been around for
generations. Mitchell is a sweet name that transitions well into
maturity, while Mitch is a manly, strong-sounding pet version.
We're delighted his modern days are over. Mitchell is, therefore,
a unique choice for today's parents.

Today, June 19, 2026June 9, 1870: #DOTD: #RIP: Charles
Dickens, English writer and social critic, creator of some of the
world's best-known fictional characters, regarded by many as the
greatest novelist of the Victorian era (b. February 7, 1812) #dies
aged 58 at his Gads Hill Place home in Higham, Kent, England of a
stroke suffered the day before, after a full day's work on his
unfinished novel Edwin Drood. Biographer Claire Tomalin has
suggested Dickens was actually in Peckham when he had had the
stroke and his mistress Ellen Ternan and her maids had him taken
back to Gads Hill so that the public would not know the truth
about their relationship. Contrary to his wish to be buried at
Rochester Cathedral "in an inexpensive, unostentatious, and
strictly private manner", he was laid to rest in the Poets'
Corner of Westminster Abbey. A printed epitaph circulated at the
time of the funeral reads: "To the Memory of Charles Dickens
(England's most popular author) who died at his residence, Higham,
near Rochester, Kent, 9 June 1870, aged 58 years. He was a
sympathiser with the poor, the suffering, and the oppressed; and
by his death, one of England's greatest writers is lost to the
world." Charles Dickens was born Charles John Huffam Dickens
at 1 Mile End Terrace (now 393 Commercial Road), Landport in
Portsea Island (Portsmouth), Hampshire. His works enjoyed
unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the 20th
century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary
genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.
Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was
incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal
education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15
novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction
articles, lectured and performed readings extensively, was an
indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for
children's rights, education, and other social reforms. Dickens's
literary success began with the 1836 serial publication of The
Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international
literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and keen
observation of character and society. His novels, most published
in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication
of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for
novel publication. Cliffhanger endings in his serial publications
kept readers in suspense. The instalment format allowed Dickens to
evaluate his audience's reaction, and he often modified his plot
and character development based on such feedback. For example,
when his wife's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss
Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities,
Dickens improved the character with positive features. His plots
were carefully constructed, and he often wove elements from
topical events into his narratives. Masses of the illiterate poor
chipped in ha'pennies to have each new monthly episode read to
them, opening up and inspiring a new class of readers. His 1843
novella, A Christmas Carol, remains popular and continues to
inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. Oliver Twist and
Great Expectations are also frequently adapted, and, like many of
his novels, evoke images of early Victorian London. His 1859
novel, A Tale of Two Cities, set in London and Paris, is his
best-known work of historical fiction. Dickens has been praised by
fellow writers from Leo Tolstoy to George Orwell and G. K.
Chesterton for his realism, comedy, prose style, unique
characterisations, and social criticism. On the other hand, Oscar
Wilde, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf complained of a lack of
psychological depth, loose writing, and a vein of saccharine
sentimentalism. The term Dickensian is used to describe something
that is reminiscent of Dickens and his writings, such as poor
social conditions or comically repulsive characters.

African American singer, songwriter, keyboardist, guitarist,
bassist, harmonica player and record producer, frontman of Sly and
the Family Stone, playing a critical role in the development of
psychedelic soul and funk with his pioneering fusion of soul,
rock, psychedelia, and gospel in the 1960s and 1970s (b. March 15,
1943 ) #dies at his home in Granada Hills, Los Angeles, at the age
of 82. His family said in a statement provided to Rolling Stone
that Stone had died "after a prolonged battle with COPD and
other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully,
surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his
extended family." His remains were cremated; the final
disposition of his ashes are not publicly disclosed. Sly Stone was
born Sylvester Stewart in Denton, Texas. AllMusic has stated that
"James Brown may have invented funk, but Sly Stone perfected
it," and credited him with "creating a series of
euphoric yet politically charged records that proved a massive
influence on artists of all musical and cultural backgrounds".
Crawdaddy!, the first national US magazine of rock music
criticism, has credited him as the founder of the "progressive
soul" movement. Stone mastered several instruments at an
early age and performed gospel music as a child with his siblings
(and future bandmates) Freddie and Rose. In the mid-1960s, he
worked as both a record producer for Autumn Records and a disc
jockey for San Francisco radio station KDIA. In 1966, Stone and
his brother Freddie joined their bands together to form Sly and
the Family Stone, a racially integrated, mixed-gender act. The
group would score hits including "Dance to the Music"
(1968), "Everyday People" (1968), "Thank You
(Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" (1969), "I Want to Take
You Higher" (1969), "Family Affair" (1971), and "If
You Want Me to Stay" (1973) and acclaimed albums including
Stand! (1969), There's a Riot Goin' On (1971), and Fresh (1973).
By the mid-1970s, Stone's drug use and erratic behavior
effectively ended the group, leaving him to record several
unsuccessful solo albums. He toured or collaborated with artists
such as Parliament-Funkadelic, Bobby Womack, and Jesse Johnson. In
1993, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a
member of the group. He took part in a Sly and the Family Stone
tribute at the 2006 Grammy Awards, his first live performance
since 1987. In 2017, Stone was awarded the Grammy Lifetime
Achievement Award. Stone was selected for induction into the
National Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame in September 2025. Stone
released his autobiography, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf
Agin), in 2023. #SlyStone #AfricanAmericans #BlackPeople #Singers

Today, June 19, 2026June 9, 1964: #DOTD: #RIP: Max Aitken,
1st Baron Beaverbrook, generally known as Lord Beaverbrook,
Canadian-British newspaper publisher and backstage politician who
was an influential figure in British media and politics of the
first half of the 20th century (b. May 25, 1879) #dies in
Leatherhead, Surrey, England, aged 85. He had recently attended a
birthday banquet organised by fellow Canadian press baron, Lord
Thomson of Fleet, where he was determined to be seen on his usual
good form, despite suffering from cancer. His remains were
cremated, and his ashes are placed in the pedastal of a bust of
him by Oscar Nemon stands in the park in the town square of
Newcastle, New Brunswick, not far from where he sold newspapers as
a young boy. The Beaverbrook Foundation continues his
philanthropic interests. In 1957, a bronze statue of Lord
Beaverbrook was erected at the centre of Officers' Square in
Fredericton, New Brunswick, paid for by money raised by children
throughout the province. Lord Beaverbrook was born William Maxwell
Aitken in Maple, Ontario, Canada. His base of power was the
largest circulation newspaper in the world, the Daily Express,
which appealed to the conservative working class with intensely
patriotic news and editorials. During the Second World War, he
played a major role in mobilising industrial resources as Winston
Churchill's Minister of Aircraft Production. The young Max Aitken
had a gift for making money and was a millionaire by 30. His
business ambitions quickly exceeded opportunities in Canada and he
moved to Britain. There he befriended Bonar Law and with his
support won a seat in the House of Commons at the December 1910
United Kingdom general election. A knighthood followed shortly
after. During the First World War he ran the Canadian Records
office in London, and played a role in the removal of H. H.
Asquith as prime minister in 1916. The resulting coalition
government (with David Lloyd George as prime minister and Bonar
Law as Chancellor of the Exchequer) rewarded Aitken with a peerage
and, briefly, a Cabinet post as Minister of Information. After the
war, the now Lord Beaverbrook concentrated on his business
interests. He built the Daily Express into the most successful
mass-circulation newspaper in the world, with sales of 2.25
million copies a day across Britain. He used it to pursue personal
campaigns, most notably for tariff reform and for the British
Empire to become a free trade bloc. Beaverbrook supported the
governments of Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain throughout
the 1930s and was persuaded by another long-standing political
friend, Winston Churchill, to serve as his Minister of Aircraft
Production from May 1940. Churchill later praised his "vital
and vibrant energy". He resigned due to ill-health in 1941
but later in the war was appointed Lord Privy Seal. Beaverbrook
spent his later life running his newspapers, which by then
included the Evening Standard and the Sunday Express. He served as
Chancellor of the University of New Brunswick and developed a
reputation as a historian with his books on political and military
history.

both the United States Navy (USN) and United States Air Force
(USAF). The military version of the Lockheed L-1049 Super
Constellation was used to serve as an airborne early warning
system to supplement the Distant Early Warning Line, using two
large radomes (a vertical dome above and a horizontal one below
the fuselage). It replaced the TBM-3W used by the USN. Some
EC-121s were also used for signal intelligence gathering. The
EC-121 was introduced in 1954 and phased out in 1978, although a
single specially modified EW aircraft remained in USN service
until 1982. The USN versions when initially procured were
designated WV-1 (PO-1W), WV-2, and WV-3. The USAF Warning Stars
served during the Vietnam War both as electronic sensor monitors
and as a forerunner to the Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS. USAF aircrews
adopted its civil nickname, "Connie" (diminutive of
Constellation) as reference, USN aircrews used the nickname
"Willie Victor".

Today, June 19, 2026June 9, AD 53: Rome: Ancient Rome: The
Roman Empire: Royal Weddings: -- The Roman Emperor Nero marries
Claudia Octavia (late AD 39 or early AD 40 - June 8, AD 62), the
daughter of the Emperor Claudius, and stepsister and first wife of
the Emperor Nero, who was both Emperor Claudius' stepson and
son-in-law. Although she was admired as empress by the Roman
citizen body, the marriage was deeply unhappy on a personal level.
Octavia was an 'aristocratic and virtuous wife' (in Tacitus's
words), whereas Nero hated her and quickly grew bored with her
(according to both Tacitus and Suetonius), trying on several
occasions to strangle her (according to Suetonius) and having
affairs with a freedwoman called Claudia Acte and then with
Poppaea Sabina. He excused this treatment of her when his friends
showed their concerns about it. When Poppaea became pregnant with
Nero's child, Nero divorced Octavia, claiming she was barren, and
married Poppaea twelve days after the divorce. Nero and Poppaea
then banished Octavia to the Campania region, and eventually to
the island of Pandateria (modern Ventotene) on a false charge of
adultery with Nero's former tutor Anicetus. When Octavia
complained about this treatment, her maids were tortured to death.
Octavia's banishment became so unpopular that the citizens of Rome
protested loudly, openly parading through the streets with statues
of Octavia decked with flowers and calling for her return. Nero,
badly frightened, nearly agreed to remarry Octavia, but instead he
signed her death warrant. A few days later, on the 9th anniversary
of her wedding to Nero, Octavia was bound and her veins were
opened in a traditional Roman suicide ritual. She was suffocated
in an exceedingly hot vapor bath. Octavia's head was cut off and
sent to Poppaea. Her death brought much sorrow to Rome. According
to Suetonius, years later Nero would have nightmares about his
mother and Octavia.

Today, June 19, 2026June 9, AD 68: #DOTD: Nero, fifth Roman
emperor and final emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, reigning
from AD_54 until his death (b. December 15, 37) #dies aged 30 at
the villa of imperial freedman Phaon in suburban Rome when he
orders his own killing upon his private secretary, Epaphroditus,
when Nero could not bring himself to take his own life. When one
of the horsemen sent to arrest him entered and saw that Nero was
dying, he attempted to stop the bleeding, but efforts to save
Nero's life were unsuccessful. Nero's final words were "Too
late! This is fidelity!". He is buried in the Mausoleum of
the Domitii Ahenobarbi, in what is now the Villa Borghese (Pincian
Hill) area of Rome. With his death, the Julio-Claudian dynasty
ended, sparking the civil war and and chaos known as The Year Of
The Four Emperors. In March 68, Gaius Julius Vindex, the governor
of Gallia Lugdunensis, rebelled against Nero's tax policies. Nero
ordered Lucius Verginius Rufus, the governor of Germania Superior,
to put down Vindex's rebellion. In an attempt to gain support from
outside his own province, Vindex called upon Servius Sulpicius
Galba, the governor of Hispania Tarraconensis, to join the
rebellion and to declare himself emperor in opposition to Nero. At
the Battle of Vesontio in May 68, Verginius' forces easily
defeated those of Vindex, and the latter committed suicide.
However, after defeating the rebels, Verginius' legions attempted
to proclaim him as Emperor. Verginius refused to act against Nero,
but the discontent of his own legions of Germania, and the
continued opposition of the increasingly popular Galba against him
in Hispania, did not bode well for Verginius. While Nero had
retained some control of the situation, support for Galba
increased despite his being officially declared a "public
enemy". The final straw for Nero was when the prefect of the
Praetorian Guard, Gaius Nymphidius Sabinus, also abandoned his
allegiance to the Emperor, and came out in support of Galba. In
response, Nero fled Rome with the intention of going to the port
of Ostia and, from there, to take a fleet to one of the
still-loyal eastern provinces. According to Suetonius, Nero
abandoned the idea when some army officers openly refused to obey
his commands, responding with a line from Virgil's Aeneid: "Is
it so dreadful a thing then to die?" Nero then toyed with the
idea of fleeing to Parthia, throwing himself upon the mercy of
Galba, or appealing to the people and begging them to pardon him
for his past offences "and if he could not soften their
hearts, to entreat them at least to allow him the prefecture of
Egypt". Suetonius reports that the text of this speech was
later found in Nero's writing desk, but that he dared not give it
from fear of being torn to pieces before he could reach the Forum.
Nero returned to Rome and spent the evening in the palace. After
sleeping, he awoke at about midnight to find the palace guard had
left. Dispatching messages to his friends' palace chambers for
them to come, he received no answers. Upon going to their chambers
personally, he found them all abandoned. When he called for a
gladiator or anyone else adept with a sword to kill him, no one
appeared. He cried, "Have I neither friend nor foe?" and
ran out as if to throw himself into the Tiber. Returning, Nero
sought a place where he could hide and collect his thoughts. An
imperial freedman, Phaon, offered his villa, located 4 mi (6.4 km)
outside the city. Travelling in disguise, Nero and four loyal
freedmen, Epaphroditus, Phaon, Neophytus, and Sporus, reached the
villa, where Nero ordered them to dig a grave for him. At this
time, Nero learned that the Senate had declared him a public
enemy. Nero prepared himself for suicide, pacing up and down
muttering Qualis artifex pereo ("What an artist the world is
losing!"). Losing his nerve, he begged one of his companions
to set an example by killing himself first. At last, the sound of
approaching horsemen drove Nero to face the end. However, he still
could not bring himself to take his own life, but instead forced
his private secretary, Epaphroditus, to perform the task. Nero was
#born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus in Antium (modern Anzio). Nero
Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus was adopted by his great-uncle
Claudius and became Claudius' heir and successor. Like Claudius,
Nero became emperor with the consent of the Praetorian Guard.
Nero' mother, Agrippina the Younger, was likely implicated in
Claudius' death and Nero' nomination as emperor. She dominated
Nero' early life and decisions until he cast her off. Five years
into his reign, he had her murdered. During the early years of his
reign, Nero was content to be guided by his mother, his tutor
Lucius Annaeus Seneca and his Praetorian prefect, Sextus Afranius
Burrus. As time passed, he started to play a more active and
independent role in government and foreign policy. During his
reign, the redoubtable general Corbulo conducted a successful war
and negotiated peace with the Parthian Empire. His general
Suetonius Paulinus crushed a major revolt in Britain, led by the
Iceni Queen Boudica. The Bosporan Kingdom was briefly annexed to
the empire, and the First Jewish-Roman War began. Nero focused
much of his attention on diplomacy, trade and the cultural life of
the empire, ordering theatres built and promoting athletic games.
He made public appearances as an actor, poet, musician and
charioteer. In the eyes of traditionalists, this undermined the
dignity and authority of his person, status and office. His
extravagant, empire-wide program of public and private works was
funded by a rise in taxes that was much resented by the middle and
upper classes. Various plots against his life were revealed; the
ringleaders, most of them Nero' own courtiers, were executed. In
68 AD Vindex, governor of the Gaulish territory Gallia
Lugdunensis, rebelled. He was supported by Galba, the governor of
Hispania Tarraconensis. Vindex' revolt failed in its immediate
aim, but Nero fled Rome when Rome' discontented civil and military
authorities chose Galba as emperor. He committed suicide on June
9, 68 A.D., when he learned that he had been tried in absentia and
condemned to death as a public enemy, making him the first Roman
Emperor to commit suicide. As his death ended the Julio-Claudian
dynasty, it sparked a brief period of civil wars known as the Year
of the Four Emperors. Nero' rule is usually associated with
tyranny and extravagance. Most Roman sources, such as Suetonius
and Cassius Dio, offer overwhelmingly negative assessments of his
personality and reign; Tacitus claims that the Roman people
thought him compulsive and corrupt. Many Romans believed that the
Great Fire of Rome was instigated by Nero to clear the way for his
planned palatial complex, the Domus Aurea. He was said to have
seized Christians as scapegoats for the fire and burned them
alive, seemingly motivated not by public justice but by personal
cruelty. Some modern historians question the reliability of the
ancient sources on Nero' tyrannical acts. A few sources paint Nero
in a more favourable light. There is evidence of his popularity
among the Roman commoners, especially in the eastern provinces of
the Empire, where a popular legend arose that Nero had not died
and would return. At least three leaders of short-lived, failed
rebellions presented themselves as "Nero reborn", to
enlist popular support.

Today, June 19, 2026June 9, 1953: #DOTD: #RIP: Godfrey
Tearle, British actor who portrayed the quintessential British
gentleman on stage and in both British and US films (b. October
12, 1884) #dies of pneumonia in London, England, aged 68. His
burial details are not publicly known other than that he was
buried in Bedfordshire, England. Sir Godfrey Seymour Tearle was
born in New York City and brought up in Britain, the son of
British actor/manager George Osmond Tearle (1852-1901) and
American actress Marianne "Minnie" Conway (1852-1896),
the brother of actor Malcolm Tearle, and the half-brother of
silent film star Conway Tearle. His maternal grandmother was
American actress Sarah Crocker Conway. In 1893, he made his stage
debut as young Prince Richard, Duke of York, in his father's
production of Richard III and in 1908 he appeared in his first
film as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. In 1910 he played Prince Olaf
in The Prince and the Beggar Maid at the Lyceum Theatre in London.
He became a Shakespearean actor of note, appearing on stage in the
title roles of Othello, Macbeth and Henry V. His theatrical career
was interrupted when he joined the Royal Artillery for a four-year
stint beginning in 1915. In 1924 he starred in the West End
production of Frederick Lonsdale's drama The Fake. In 1935 he
appeared in Bernard Merivale's The Unguarded Hour. One of Tearle's
most memorable screen roles was in Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps
(1935), in which he portrayed Professor Jordan, a seemingly
respectable country squire whose missing finger unmasks him as an
enemy agent. He was cast as an RAF gunner in One of Our Aircraft
Is Missing (1942), a German general in Undercover (film) (1943),
an aging First World War veteran in Medal for the General (1944)
and as Franklin D. Roosevelt in The Beginning or the End, MGM's
1946 account of the Manhattan Project. Tearle made his Broadway
theatre debut in Carnival in 1919. In his review in The New York
Times, Alexander Woollcott noted, "It is difficult to guess
why Godfrey Tearle should have selected as the vehicle of his
American debut the play called Carnival, which was presented to
New York for the first time last evening at the 44th Street
Theatre. It is a spare and unsubstantial piece at best, and the
role it offers him is distinctly secondary in importance and
opportunity." Additional Broadway credits include The Fake
(1924), The Flashing Stream (1939), and Antony and Cleopatra
(1947). Tearle was knighted in the 1951 King's Birthday Honours
List for services to drama. He was married three times, to actress
Mary Malone from 1909 until their divorce in 1932, to starlet
Stella Freeman from 1932 until her sudden death in 1936, and to
Barbara Palmer from 1937 until their divorce in 1947. For several
years at the end of his life, Tearle lived with the actress Jill
Bennett.

Capone Documentary Biography MP4 Video Download DVD
Today, June 19, 2026June 9, 1930: #DOTD: Jake Lingle, Chicago
Tribune reporter (b. July 2, 1891) #dies aged 38 when he is shot
dead gangland-style during rush hour as dozens of people watched
in the underpass leading to the Illinois Central Randolph Street
station by German-American mob associate Leo Vincent Brothers,
allegedly over a 100K USD gambling debt owed to Al Capone. He is
buried at Mount Carmel Catholic Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois.
Jake Lingle was born Alfred Lingle, Jr. in Chicago, Illinois.
Lingle was initially lionized as a martyred journalist, but it was
eventually revealed that he was involved in racketeering with the
Capone organization and that his death had more to do with his own
criminal activities than his journalism. Leo Vincent Brothers
a.k.a. "Vincent Bader" (1899 - 1950) was an early
20th-century gangster who gained notoriety throughout the
underworld after being convicted of the 1930 murder of Chicago
Tribune reporter Jake Lingle. Starting out as a low-level member
of the St. Louis gang known as the Egan's Rats, Brothers was once
the manager and a bouncer at The Green Mill in Chicago. Brothers
soon graduated into labor racketeering and contract murder.
Dodging a 1929 murder indictment, Brothers fled to Chicago, where
he found work in the Chicago Outfit, under the notorious crime
boss, Al Capone. Leo was ultimately convicted of the Lingle murder
and sentenced to 14 years. His attorney was Louis Piquett, who
later became famous as John Dillinger's lawyer. Most observers,
then and now, believe that Brothers was handed up to the state by
Capone as a sacrifice. Mario Gomes, Capone historian says that
Frank (Frankie) Foster who was a triggerman for the North Side Mob
and later the Chicago Outfit was most likely the man who pulled
the trigger on the Jake Lingle contract. The contract was handed
out and organized by Jake Zuta. After his release in 1940,
Brothers returned to St. Louis, beat his original murder case, and
became hooked up with the local mob. Three months after an
unsuccessful attempt on his life, Leo Brothers died of heart
disease in St. Louis on December 23, 1950. Alphonse Gabriel
Capone, American mobster, crime boss, gangster and businessman (b.
1899 - 1947), sometimes known by the nickname Scarface, attained
fame during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the
Chicago Outfit, also known as the Outfit, the Chicago Mafia, the
Chicago Mob, or The Organization, an Italian-American organized
crime syndicate based in Chicago, Illinois which dates back to the
1910s. His seven-year reign as crime boss ended when he was 33
years old. He reveled in attention, such as the cheers from
spectators when he appeared at ball games. He made donations to
various charities and was viewed by many to be a "modern-day
Robin Hood". However, the Saint Valentine' Day Massacre of
gang rivals, resulting in the killing of seven men in broad
daylight, damaged Chicago' image - as well as Capone' - leading
influential citizens to demand governmental action and newspapers
to dub him "Public Enemy No. 1". The federal authorities
became intent on jailing Capone, and they prosecuted him for tax
evasion in 1931, a federal crime and a novel strategy during the
era. During the highly publicized case, the judge admitted as
evidence Capone' admissions of his income and unpaid taxes during
prior (and ultimately abortive) negotiations to pay the government
any back taxes he owed. Capone was convicted and sentenced to 11
years in federal prison. After conviction, he replaced his old
defense team with experts in tax law, and his grounds for appeal
were strengthened by a Supreme Court ruling, but his appeal
ultimately failed. He was already showing signs of syphilitic
dementia early in his sentence, and he became increasingly
debilitated before being released after eight years. On January
25, 1947, Capone died of cardiac arrest in the hospital of
Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary after suffering a stroke.

Today, June 19, 2026June 9, 1973: #DOTD: Erich Von Manstein,
German Field Marshal of Nazi Germany's armed forces (Wehrmacht)
during the Second World War, war criminal sentenced to 18 years
imprisonment at the Nuremberg Trials (b. November 24, 1887) #dies
in Icking, Landkreis Bad Tolz-Wolfratshausen, Munich, Germany aged
85. He is buried at Dorfmark Cemetery in Dorfmark, Heidekreis,
Lower Saxony, Germany. Erich Von Manstein was born Fritz Erich
Georg Eduard Von Lewinski in Berlin, Kingdom Of Prussia, German
Empire into an aristocratic Prussian family with a long history of
military service. Fritz Erich Georg Eduard Von Manstein joined the
army at a young age and saw service on Western Front and Eastern
Front during the First World War. He rose to the rank of captain
by the end of the war and was active in the inter-war period
helping Germany rebuild her armed forces. In September 1939,
during the Invasion Of Poland at the beginning of the Second World
War, he was serving as Chief Of Staff to Gerd Von Rundstedt's Army
Group South. Adolf Hitler chose Manstein's strategy for the
invasion of France of May 1940, a plan later refined by Franz
Halder and other members of the OKH. Anticipating a firm Allied
reaction should the main thrust of the invasion take place through
the Netherlands, Manstein devised an innovative operation-later
known as the Sichelschnitt ("sickle cut")-that called
for an attack through the woods of the Ardennes and a rapid drive
to the English Channel, thus cutting off the French and Allied
armies in Belgium and Flanders. Attaining the rank of general at
the end of the campaign, he was active in the invasion of the
Soviet Union in June 1941 and the Siege of Sevastopol (1941-1942),
and was promoted to field marshal on 1 July 1942. He also
participated in the Siege Of Leningrad. Germany's fortunes in the
war began to take an unfavourable turn later in 1942, especially
in the catastrophic Battle Of Stalingrad, where Manstein commanded
a failed relief effort ("Operation Winter Storm") in
December. Later known as the "backhand blow", Manstein's
counteroffensive in the Third Battle Of Kharkov (February-March
1943) regained substantial territory and resulted in the
destruction of three Soviet armies and the retreat of three
others. He was one of the primary commanders at the Battle Of
Kursk (July-August 1943), one of the largest tank battles in
history. His ongoing disagreements with Hitler over the conduct of
the war led to his dismissal in March 1944. He never obtained
another command and was taken prisoner by the British in August
1945, several months after Germany's defeat. Manstein gave
testimony at the main Nuremberg trials of war criminals in August
1946, and prepared a paper that, along with his later memoirs,
helped cultivate the myth of a "clean Wehrmacht"-the
myth that the German armed forces were not culpable for the
atrocities of the Holocaust. In 1949 he was tried in Hamburg for
war crimes and was convicted on nine of seventeen counts,
including the poor treatment of prisoners of war and failing to
protect civilian lives in his sphere of operations. His sentence
of eighteen years in prison was later reduced to twelve, and he
served only four years before being released in 1953. As a
military advisor to the West German government in the mid-1950s,
he helped re-establish the armed forces. His memoir, Verlorene
Siege (1955), translated into English as Lost Victories, was
highly critical of Hitler's leadership, and only dealt with the
military aspects of the war, ignoring its political and ethical
contexts.
