June 10-12, 2027 (Sundown): Religion: The History Of Religion: Abrahamic Religions: Judaism: The History Of Judaism: Moses: The Law of Moses (Hebrew: Torat Moshe) (The Mosaic Law): The Three Annual Festivals: (The Three Pilgrimage Festivals [Hebrew: Shalosh Regalim, "Three Journeys By Foot, Three Pilgrimages"]): The Festival of Harvest (Hebrew: Shavuot, "Weeks'): -- The Hebrew holiday of Shavuat begins at sundown on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan, and lasts until sundown two more days of the Gregorian calendar in the Jewish diaspora, for a total of two days in the Hebrew calendar and three days in the Gregorian calendar. In Exodus 23:14 of the Torah, Moses recounts what he had been commanded by THE LORD to convey to his people: "Each year you must celebrate three festivals in my honor." Of the second of these festivals, it goes on to say in Exodus 23:16: "Second, celebrate The Festival Of Harvest, when you bring me the first crops of your harvest." Shavuot marked the wheat harvest in the Land of Israel in the Hebrew Bible according to Exodus 34:22. In addition, rabbinic tradition teaches that the date also marks the revelation of the Ten Commandments to Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai, which, according to the tradition of Orthodox Judaism, occurred at this date in 1312 BCE. The word Shavuot means "weeks" in Hebrew, and marks the conclusion of the Counting of the Omer. Its date is directly linked to that of Passover; the Torah mandates the seven-week Counting of the Omer, beginning on the second day of Passover, to be immediately followed by Shavuot. This counting of days and weeks is understood to express anticipation and desire for the giving of the Torah. On Passover, the people of Israel were freed from their enslavement to Pharaoh; on Shavuot, they were given the Torah and became a nation committed to serving God. While Shavuot is sometimes referred to as Pentecost (in Koine Greek: Pentecoste, "Fiftieth") due to its timing fifty days after the first day of Passover, it is not the same celebration as the Christian Pentecost or Whitsun, which comes fifty days after Easter.That said, the two festivals are related, as the first Day of Pentecost, related in the Acts of the Apostles, is said to have happened on Shavuot. Shavuot is traditionally celebrated in Israel for one day, where it is a public holiday, and for two days in the diaspora.

June 10: National Iced Tea Day: -- When the weather gets too warm for hot tea, just ice it! Mint tea, fruity teas, even the Southern classic sweet tea will all refresh you on a warm and sunny day. Drinks are such a key part of modern culture that they are so much than just a necessity for the body. We drink water to survive, we drink coffee to stay alert, we sip cocktails to feel refreshed and get in the mood, and we drink soda to relax and unwind. Different drinks feed into different moods and give us new and unique experiences that play a big role in our lives, both socially and at home. So, it is important to make sure you sample as many different beverages as you can. When it comes to quenching thirst and being refreshed on a hot summer's day, there are a lot of things you can choose from. Many will crack open a beer or a bottle of wine, but how about sampling some gorgeous iced tea. There are a lot of things you need to keep in mind when it comes to trying this delicious beverage. In fact, there is even an National Iced Tea Day, solely dedicated to the discovery and enjoyment of all things iced tea related; try to ensure you make the most of this as much as you can right now. On a hot summer day, there's nothing that quenches the thirst and fosters relaxation quite as much as a frosty cold glass of iced tea. While hot tea is delicious and certainly an excellent beverage for most situations, it's purely inappropriate for picnics, and it only stays hot so long. Instead, it is necessary to branch out to the more versatile and refreshing alternatives. Sweet tea is one of the most popular beverages in the deep South, but it's just one example of the variety that can be iced tea. While recipes for Iced Tea go back as far as the 1870's, it wasn't until 1904 that it exploded in popularity. This was due in no small part to the World's Fair and the heat of the summer that was baking it. Iced Tea was being served, and the fair goers were drinking it en masse, and in almost no time at all, it was being served in tall glasses so well known for this purpose that they were called iced-tea glasses. You know a drink has truly come into its own when special utensils are made for its preparation, and it wasn't just the glasses, iced-tea spoons and lemon forks were developed to make its consumption both easier and more satisfying. Iced Tea is typically made from the tea plant, but just like with hot teas, it can be made with just about anything, and herbal teas are often a popular choice for the cool drink. Imagine the parade of flavors available to you, a cool mint tea stirred with a bit of lime, or if you're in India you may as well do as the locals do and enjoy your tea with a bit of ginger. Our personal favorite? Peach Iced Tea, it's delightful. National Iced Tea Day exists to pay homage to the popular and delicious beverage, and it's something more of us should get involved with. This is a drink that is growing in popularity, and there is a growing consumer base for it, both in the United States and abroad. This is why manufacturers continue to come up with different and interesting flavors of iced tea that you can choose from moving forward.

June 10: National Herbs And Spices Day: -- Celebrates the world of diversity when it comes to these often teensy flavoring agents, which nevertheless pack a punch! After all, what would food even be if it weren't for the herbs and spices that make every dish unique? Since herbs and spices are cooking essentials, it, therefore, makes complete sense that they are given a day of recognition for their contribution to mankind and its culinary journeys thus far. Furthermore, the great thing about many herbs is that they can be freshly grown in your own garden patch or on your kitchen sill, and what can be better than eating your own homegrown produce? There are just so many ways in which herbs and spices make all our lives better, so join us as we list some of them. Though very little is known about how this holiday came into being, National Herbs and Spices Days has been officially observed from the year 2015 onwards. Not only are herbs and spices of utmost importance in the kitchen, many of them have strong medicinal value, too, which is why such a day may have come into being. Before the words 'national' and 'spices' were added in 2015, the oldest reference to this holiday was 'Herb Day' in 1999. One of the earliest fans of spices and herbs was Emperor Charlemagne (742-814 A.D.). He apparently felt so passionately about them that he put together a list of 74 different herbs and had them planted in his gardens. Don't just take our word for it though, see what Emperor Charlemagne himself had to say: "Herbs are the friends of physicians and the praise of cooks." By the Middle Ages, the use of herbs and spices in both cooking and medication became common. Books like "The Forme of Cury" ("The Method of Cooking") began to emerge, which promoted the use of herbs extensively. Modern-day allopathy also has its roots in the mixing of various herbs and medicinal plants to cure common ailments. If we even look at pop culture today, some of the most popular music groups' names have been inspired by herbs and spices - The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Spice Girls, to name a few. Whatever the origin, we're glad these little guys get the recognition they so richly deserve, as we cannot imagine a life without herbs and spices.

June 10: National Ballpoint Pen Day: -- A fun and whimsical holiday that encourages us to honor this humble product that is found everywhere, in our homes, schools, art studios, offices, etc. Almost everyone has used a ballpoint pen once in their life and, for many, it holds a special place in their pen holder. National Ballpoint Day acknowledges this universal writing utensil and it also marks the day when the patent for it was filed. Before the ballpoint pen came into the world, people used a fountain pen or pencil to write. Created to provide an alternative to the quill and fountain pens, now, the ballpoint pen dominates the pen market. Many people attempted to invent the ballpoint pen but weren't successful due to issues in ink distribution, overflow, and clogging. Then, finally, the brothers Laszlo and Gyorgy Biro obtained their patent for the ballpoint pen and revolutionized the way people wrote letters. Now, European Patent #2390636 protects one of the world's most popular modern writing instruments. The Biro brothers knew they were onto something when they invented the ballpoint pen. Later, the British government bought the rights to the newly-patented pens and today global manufacturers produce millions of these ballpoint pens and sell them across the world. Ballpoint pens are used everywhere and are an affordable and reliable instrument for writing.

Today, June 10, 2026

June 10: World Art Nouveau Day (WAND): -- June 10, 1926: #DOTD: #RIP: Antoni Gaudi, Catalan architect and designer from Spain, known as the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism (b. June 25, 1852) #dies when he is run down by a tram in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, aged 73. He is buried in the Sagrada Familia, as of 2024 the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world, which he designed and which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. Antoni Gaudi was born Antoni Gaudi I Cornet in Catalonia, Spain in either Riudoms or Reus. Gaudi's works have a highly individualized, sui generis style. Most are located in Barcelona, including his main work, the church of the Sagrada Familia. Gaudi's work was influenced by his passions in life: architecture, nature, and religion. He considered every detail of his creations which he integrated into his architecture crafts such as ceramics, stained glass, wrought ironwork forging, and carpentry. He also introduced new techniques in the treatment of materials, such as trencadis which used waste ceramic pieces. Under the influence of neo-Gothic art and Oriental techniques, Gaudi became part of the Modernista movement which was reaching its peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work transcended mainstream Modernisme, culminating in an organic style inspired by natural forms. Gaudi rarely drew detailed plans of his works, instead preferring to create them as three-dimensional scale models and moulding the details as he conceived them. Gaudi's work enjoys global popularity and continuing admiration and study by architects. His masterpiece, the still-incomplete Sagrada Familia, is the most-visited monument in Spain. Between 1984 and 2005, seven of his works were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Gaudi's Catholic faith intensified during his life and religious images appear in many of his works. This earned him the nickname "God's Architect". His cause for canonization was opened in the Archdiocese of Barcelona in 2003.

Today, June 10, 2026

June 10/11 323 BC: #DOTD: #RIP: Alexander The Great, king (basileus) of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon as Alexander III Of Macedon, one of history's most successful military commanders, undefeated in battle, who spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa, creator of one of the largest empires of the ancient world by the age of thirty, stretching from Greece to northwestern India (b. 356 BC) #dies in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar II, in Babylon, at age 32. There are two different versions of Alexander's death and details of the death differ slightly in each. Plutarch's account is that roughly 14 days before his death, Alexander entertained admiral Nearchus, and spent the night and next day drinking with Medius of Larissa. He developed a fever, which worsened until he was unable to speak. The common soldiers, anxious about his health, were granted the right to file past him as he silently waved at them. In the second account, Diodorus recounts that Alexander was struck with pain after downing a large bowl of unmixed wine in honour of Heracles, followed by 11 days of weakness; he did not develop a fever and died after some agony. Arrian also mentioned this as an alternative, but Plutarch specifically denied this claim. Given the propensity of the Macedonian aristocracy to assassination, foul play featured in multiple accounts of his death. Diodorus, Plutarch, Arrian and Justin all mentioned the theory that Alexander was poisoned. Justin stated that Alexander was the victim of a poisoning conspiracy, Plutarch dismissed it as a fabrication, while both Diodorus and Arrian noted that they mentioned it only for the sake of completeness. The accounts were nevertheless fairly consistent in designating Antipater, recently removed as Macedonian viceroy, and at odds with Olympias, as the head of the alleged plot. Perhaps taking his summons to Babylon as a death sentence, and having seen the fate of Parmenion and Philotas, Antipater purportedly arranged for Alexander to be poisoned by his son Iollas, who was Alexander's wine-pourer. There was even a suggestion that Aristotle may have participated. The strongest argument against the poison theory is the fact that twelve days passed between the start of his illness and his death; such long-acting poisons were probably not available. However, in a 2003 BBC documentary investigating the death of Alexander, Leo Schep from the New Zealand National Poisons Centre proposed that the plant white hellebore (Veratrum album), which was known in antiquity, may have been used to poison Alexander. In a 2014 manuscript in the journal Clinical Toxicology, Schep suggested Alexander's wine was spiked with Veratrum album, and that this would produce poisoning symptoms that match the course of events described in the Alexander Romance. Veratrum album poisoning can have a prolonged course and it was suggested that if Alexander was poisoned, Veratrum album offers the most plausible cause. Another poisoning explanation put forward in 2010 proposed that the circumstances of his death were compatible with poisoning by water of the river Styx (modern-day Mavroneri in Arcadia, Greece) that contained calicheamicin, a dangerous compound produced by bacteria. The tomb of Alexander the Great is attested in several historical accounts, but its current exact location remains an enduring mystery. Following Alexander's death in Babylon, his body was initially buried in Memphis, Egypt by one of his generals, Ptolemy I Soter, before being transferred to Alexandria, Egypt, where it was reburied. Julius Caesar, Cleopatra and Augustus, among others, are noted as having visited Alexander's tomb in Alexandria in antiquity. Its later fate is unknown, and it had possibly been destroyed by the 4th or 5th centuries; since the 19th century, over one hundred official attempts have been made to try to identify the site of Alexander's tomb in Alexandria. Alexander The Great was born in Pella in 356 BC into the Argead dynasty, and succeeded his father Philip II to the throne of Macedon at the age of twenty as Alexander III. During his youth, Alexander was tutored by Aristotle until age 16. After Philip's assassination in 336 BC, he succeeded his father to the throne and inherited a strong kingdom and an experienced army. Alexander was awarded the generalship of Greece and used this authority to launch his father's pan-Hellenic project to lead the Greeks in the conquest of Persia. In 334 BC, he invaded the Achaemenid Empire (Persian Empire) and began a series of campaigns that lasted ten years. Following the conquest of Anatolia, Alexander broke the power of Persia in a series of decisive battles, most notably the battles of Issus and Gaugamela. He subsequently overthrew Persian King Darius III and conquered the Achaemenid Empire in its entirety. At that point, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River. He endeavored to reach the "ends of the world and the Great Outer Sea" and invaded India in 326 BC, winning an important victory over the Pauravas at the Battle of the Hydaspes. He eventually turned back at the demand of his homesick troops. Alexander died in Babylon in 323 BC, the city that he planned to establish as his capital, without executing a series of planned campaigns that would have begun with an invasion of Arabia. In the years following his death, a series of civil wars tore his empire apart, resulting in the establishment of several states ruled by the Diadochi, Alexander's surviving generals and heirs. Alexander's legacy includes the cultural diffusion and syncretism which his conquests engendered, such as Greco-Buddhism. He founded some twenty cities that bore his name, most notably Alexandria in Egypt. Alexander's settlement of Greek colonists and the resulting spread of Greek culture in the east resulted in a new Hellenistic civilization, aspects of which were still evident in the traditions of the Byzantine Empire in the mid-15th century AD and the presence of Greek speakers in central and far eastern Anatolia until the 1920s. Alexander became legendary as a classical hero in the mold of Achilles, and he features prominently in the history and mythic traditions of both Greek and non-Greek cultures. He became the measure against which military leaders compared themselves, and military academies throughout the world still teach his tactics. He is often ranked among the most influential people in history.

Sessue Hayakawa, Japanese actor, producer, matinee idol and one of the first male sex symbols of Hollywood, one of the biggest stars in Hollywood during the silent film era of the 1910s and 1920s, the first actor of Asian descent to achieve stardom as a leading man in the United States and Europe, and whose "broodingly handsome" good looks and typecasting as a sexually dominant villain made him a heartthrob among American women during a time of racial discrimination (d. November 23, 1973) is #born Kintaro Hayakawa in the village of Nanaura, now part of a town called Chikura, in the city of Minamiboso in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. After being expelled from the Japanese naval academy and surviving a suicide attempt at 18, Hayakawa attended the University of Chicago, where he studied political economics and quarterbacked the school's football team. Upon graduating, he traveled to Los Angeles in order to board a scheduled ship back to Japan, but decided to try out acting in Little Tokyo. There, Hayakawa impressed Hollywood figures and was signed on to star in The Typhoon (1914). He made his breakthrough in The Cheat (1915), and thereafter became famous for his roles as a forbidden lover. Hayakawa was one of the highest paid stars of his time, earning 5K USD per week in 1915, and 2M USD per year through his own production company from 1918 to 1921. Hayakawa's popularity and sex appeal ("his most rabid fan base was white women") unsettled many segments of American society which were filled with feelings of the Yellow Peril. With two World Wars taking place throughout his career, and rising anti-Asian sentiment in the United States, the types of roles that he usually played were gradually "taken over by other actors who were not as threatening as Hayakawa in terms of race and sex". Hayakawa left Hollywood in 1922 and worked in Japanese and European cinema for many years before making his Hollywood comeback in Tokyo Joe (1949). Of his talkies, Hayakawa is probably best known for his role as Colonel Saito in The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), for which he earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Hayakawa starred in over 80 feature films, and two of his films (The Cheat and The Bridge on the River Kwai) stand in the United States National Film Registry. Sessue Hayakawa died on November 23, 1973 from a cerebral thrombosis, complicated by pneumonia at the age of 87. He was buried in the Chokeiji Temple Cemetery in Toyama, Japan.

McDaniel experienced racism and racial segregation throughout her career, and was unable to attend the premiere of Gone With The Wind in Atlanta because it was held at a whites-only theater. At the Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles, she sat at a segregated table at the side of the room. In 1952, McDaniel died at age 59 in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California of breast cancer. Her final wish to be buried in Hollywood Cemetery was denied due to the graveyard being restricted to whites-only at the time. She is buried at Angelus Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.

The Battle Of Guantanamo Bay occurred between June 6, with the first US naval attack, and June 10, the subsequent successful landing of US Marines with naval support, and was a battle where American and Cuban forces seized the strategically and commercially important harbor of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Capturing the bay from the Spanish forces was instrumental in the following Battle of Santiago de Cuba and the subsequent invasion of Puerto Rico. Although overshadowed by the land and sea battles at Santiago, the establishment of the United States naval base at Guantanamo Bay and the rout of defending Spanish troops by American and Cuban forces was important in the final Spanish defeat. From June 22 to 24, the Fifth Army Corps under General William R. Shafter landed at Daiquiri and Siboney, east of Santiago, and established an American base of operations. A contingent of Spanish troops, having fought a skirmish with the Americans near Siboney on June 23, had retired to their lightly entrenched positions at Las Guasimas. An advance guard of U.S. forces under former Confederate General Joseph Wheeler ignored Cuban scouting parties and orders to proceed with caution. They caught up with and engaged the Spanish rearguard of about 2,000 soldiers led by General Antero Rubin who effectively ambushed them, in the Battle of Las Guasimas on June 24. The battle ended indecisively in favor of Spain and the Spanish left Las Guasimas on their planned retreat to Santiago.

June 10, 1910: #BOTD: #HBD! Howlin' Wolf, African American blues singer, songwriter, guitarist, harmonica player and Freemason, known for booming voice and imposing physical presence, one of the best-known Chicago blues artists (d. January 10, 1976) is #born Chester Arthur Burnet in White Station, Mississippi to Gertrude Jones and Leon "Dock" Burnett. He would later say that his father was "Ethiopian", while his Mother had Choctaw ancestry on her father's side. He was named after Chester A. Arthur, the 21st President of the United States. His physique garnered him the nicknames "Big Foot Chester" and "Bull Cow" as a young man: he was 6 feet 3 inches tall and often weighed close to 300 pounds. The name "Howlin' Wolf" originated from Burnett's maternal grandfather, John Jones, who would admonish him for killing his grandmother's chicks from reckless squeezing by warning him that wolves in the area would come and get him; the family would continue this by calling Burnett "the Wolf". The blues historian Paul Oliver wrote that Burnett once claimed to have been given his nickname by his idol, "the Father of Country Music" Jimmie Rodgers, best known for his distinctive rhythmic yodeling. The musician and critic Cub Koda noted, "no one could match Howlin' Wolf for the singular ability to rock the house down to the foundation while simultaneously scaring its patrons out of its wits." Producer Sam Phillips recalled, "When I heard Howlin' Wolf, I said, 'This is for me. This is where the soul of man never dies.'". Several of his songs, including "Smokestack Lightnin'", "Killing Floor" and "Spoonful", have become blues and blues rock standards. In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 54 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". "Smokestack Lightnin'" is widely considered to be the greatest blues song recording. Howlin' Wolf died at the age of 65 of complications from kidney surgery performed at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Hines, Illinois. He is buried in Oakridge Cemetery, outside Chicago, in a plot in Section 18, on the east side of the road. His gravestone has an image of a guitar and harmonica etched into it.

On June 5, 1916, The Arab Revolthad already broken out as his sons Ali and Faisal had already initiated operations at Medina starting on 5 June with the aim of securing independence from the ruling Ottoman Turks and creating a single unified Arab state stretching from Aleppo in Syria to Aden in Yemen. Though the Sharifian revolt has tended to be regarded as a revolt rooted in a secular Arab nationalist sentiment, the Sharif did not present it in those terms; rather, he accused the Young Turks of violating the sacred tenets of Islam and called Arab Muslims to sacred rebellion against the ostensibly "impious" Ottoman government. Contrarily, Turks as well as many Arab leaders accused rebelling tribes of betraying the Muslim Caliphate during a campaign against imperialist powers which were trying to divide and govern the Muslim lands. Ultimately, the revolt failed to generate significant support from within the Ottoman Empire's Arab provinces, and remained largely limited to tribal levies from the Arabian Peninsula loyal to Sharif Hussein.

June 10, 1918: The European Civil War: World War I: The First European War (The European Theater Of World War I): The Western Front Of World War I: Naval Warfare Of World War I: Naval Warfare In The Mediterranean During World War I (The Battle Of The Mediterranean): The Adriatic Campaign Of World War I: The Sinking Of SMS Szent Istvan (The Premuda Attack): -- The Austro-Hungarian battleship SMS Szent Istvan (Saint Stefan, or Saint Stephen) sinks in the Adriatic Sea off the Croatian coast after being struck by two torpedoes launched from the Italian MAS-15 Motor Torpedo Boat under Corvette Captain Luigi Rizzo near the small Croation island of Premuda, near the Dalmatian city of Zara (Zadar), the oldest continuously inhabited city in Croatia; the event is recorded by two different motion picture cameras on the Szent Istvan's nearby sister battleship, SMS Tegetthoff: one camera owned and operated by Linienschiffsleutnant Meusburger of SMS Tegetthoff, and the other by an official film crew. According to the 1964 television documentary series "World War 1", the captain of the Szent Istvan (whom the documentary does not name) gave no order to abandon ship: "No orders to abandon ship from its captain. It was an age where commanders could take men to their deaths in the name of nothing but honor.". For this reason, the ship is seen to be thick with men standing all about the ship, even as it capsizes. The moments from the ship's last 90 degrees list to its full capsizing were cut out of the prints made of the film, as they were believed to be too distressing for public view. As of 2018, this missing film footage remains missing. The remaining footage of the sinking, which is itself the splicing of the two films taken by each of the two cameras (though not spliced during the final capsizing) became famous, and has been used in documentaries about both World War I and World War II, and as a popular stock footage. NOTE: As of June 10, 2018, there was no online document that recorded anything about 1) the refusal of the Szent Istvan's captain to give an abandon ship command, 2) the deliberate cutting of the film segment at the moment the ship capsized, and 3) the name of the Szent Istvan's captain; it was instead J. C. Kaelin's research to produce a description for a product special on his EarthStation1.com website that commemorated this historical event that there was first documented online anywhere 1) the refusal of the Szent Istvan's captain to give an abandon ship command, and 2) the deliberate cutting of the film segment at the moment the ship capsized, and the first time anywhere online that it is documented that the name of Szent Istvan's commander is not listed online. Mercifully, all but 89 of her 1,065 man crew were rescued. SMS Szent was a Tegetthoff-class dreadnought of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the only one built in the Hungarian part of Austria-Hungary. The Ganz and Company's Danubius Yard in Hungarian-owned Fiume (current-day Rijeka) was awarded the contract to build the battleship in return for the Hungarian government agreeing to the 1910 and 1911 naval budgets. She was named after Hungary's first Christian king, Saint Stephen (Hungarian: Szent Istvan). She and her sister ships were regarded as very compact and powerful ships and were the first dreadnoughts in service with triple main-gun turrets.

Today, June 10, 2026

June 10, 1922: #BOTD: #HBD! Judy Garland, known as "America's Sweetheart", American singer, actress, and vaudevillian (d. June 22, 1969) was #born Frances Ethel Gumm in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. During a career that spanned 45 of her 47 years, Garland attained international stardom as an actress in musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage. Respected for her versatility, she received a juvenile Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Special Tony Award, and was the first woman to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year for her live recording Judy at Carnegie Hall (1961). She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in A Star Is Born (1954), and received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Judgment at Nuremberg (1961). As a child, Garland began performing in vaudeville with her two older sisters, and later signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. She made more than two dozen films with MGM, nine of which with Mickey Rooney, and is perhaps best remembered for her performance as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard Of Oz (1939). Her other most notable film roles with MGM include appearances in Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), The Harvey Girls (1946), Easter Parade (1948), and Summer Stock (1950). Garland was released from MGM in 1950, after 15 years with the studio, amid a series of personal struggles and erratic behavior that prevented her from fulfilling the terms of her contract. Her film appearances diminished, but she would thereafter go on to receive two Academy Award nominations. She also made record-breaking concert appearances, released eight studio albums, and hosted her own Emmy-nominated television series, The Judy Garland Show (1963-1964). At age 39, Garland became the youngest and first female recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in the film industry. In 1997, Garland was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 1999, the American Film Institute placed her among the 10 greatest female stars of classic American cinema. Despite profound professional success, Garland struggled largely in her personal life from an early age. The pressures of adolescent stardom affected her physical and mental health from the time she was a teenager; her self-image was influenced and constantly criticized by film executives who believed that she was physically unattractive. Those same executives manipulated her onscreen physical appearance. Into her adulthood, she was plagued by alcohol and substance abuse, as well as financial instability; she often owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes. Her life-long addiction to drugs and alcohol ultimately led to her death in the bathroom of her rented house in Cadogan Lane, Belgravia, London, aged 47. At the inquest, Coroner Gavin Thurston stated that the cause of death was "an incautious self-overdosage" of barbiturates; her blood contained the equivalent of ten 1.5-grain (97 mg) Seconal capsules. Thurston stressed that the overdose had been unintentional and no evidence suggested that she had intended to kill herself. Garland's autopsy showed no inflammation of her stomach lining and no drug residue in her stomach, which indicated that the drug had been ingested over a long period of time, rather than in a single dose. Her death certificate stated that her death was "accidental". Supporting the accidental cause, Garland's physician noted that a prescription of 25 barbiturate pills was found by her bedside half-empty and another bottle of 100 barbiturate pills was still unopened. A British specialist who had attended Garland's autopsy stated that she had nevertheless been living on borrowed time owing to cirrhosis, although a second autopsy conducted later reported no evidence of alcoholism or cirrhosis. Her Wizard of Oz co-star Ray Bolger commented at her funeral, "She just plain wore out." Forensic pathologist Jason Payne-James believed that Garland had an eating disorder (psychologist Linda Papadopoulos asserted that it was probably bulimia nervosa), which contributed to her death. After Garland's body had been embalmed and clothed in the same gray, silk gown she wore at her wedding to her fifth and final husband Mickey Deans, Deans traveled with her remains to New York City on June 26, 1969, where an estimated 20,000 people lined up to pay their respects at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel in Manhattan, which remained open all night long to accommodate the overflowing crowd. On June 27, 1969, James Mason gave a eulogy at the funeral, an Episcopal service led by the Rev. Peter Delaney of St Marylebone Parish Church, London, who had officiated at her marriage to Deans, three months earlier. "Judy's great gift", Mason said in his eulogy, "was that she could wring tears out of hearts of rock... She gave so richly and so generously, that there was no currency in which to repay her." The public and press were barred. She was interred in a crypt in the community mausoleum at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York, a town 24 miles (39 km) north of midtown Manhattan. Upon Garland's death, despite having earned millions during her career, her estate came to US 40K USD (equivalent to 230K USD in 2021). Years of mismanagement of her financial affairs by her representatives and staff along with her generosity toward her family and various causes resulted in her poor financial situation at the end of her life. In her last will, signed and sealed in early 1961, Garland made many generous bequests that could not be fulfilled because her estate had been in debt for many years. Her daughter, Liza Minnelli, worked to pay off her mother's debts with the help of family friend Frank Sinatra. In 1978, a selection of Garland's personal items was auctioned off by her ex-husband Sidney Luft with the support of their daughter Lorna Luft and their son Joey. Almost 500 items, ranging from copper cookware to musical arrangements, were offered for sale. The auction raised 250K USD (equivalent to 830K USD in 2021) for her heirs. At the request of her children, Garland's remains were disinterred from Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York in January 2017 and re-interred 2,800 miles (4,500 km) across the country at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.

Bailey's name first came to nationwide attention for his involvement in the second murder trial of Sam Sheppard, a surgeon accused of murdering his wife. He later served as the attorney in a number of other high-profile cases, such as Albert DeSalvo, a suspect in the "Boston Strangler" murders, heiress Patty Hearst's trial for bank robberies committed during her involvement with the Symbionese Liberation Army, and US Army Captain Ernest Medina for war crimes committed during the infamous My Lai Massacre. He was a member of the "Dream Team" in the trial of former football player O. J. Simpson, who was accused of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Bailey was featured in an RKO television special in which he conducted a mock trial, examining various expert witnesses on the subject of the "Paul Is Dead" rumor referring to Beatle Paul McCartney. One of the experts was Fred LaBour, whose article in The Michigan Daily had been instrumental in the spread of the urban legend. LaBour told Bailey during a pre-show meeting he had made up the whole thing. Bailey responded, "Well, we have an hour of television to do. You're going to have to go along with this." The program aired locally in New York City on November 30, 1969, and was never re-aired. F. Lee Bailey died under hospice care in Atlanta, Georgia, aged 87.

A further 11 men from the village who were not present at the time were later arrested and executed soon afterwards, along with several others who were already under arrest. The women were deported to the Ravensbruck and Chelmno concentration camps where most died. Ninety young children were sent to the concentration camp at Gneisenau and gassed to death; seven children who were considered racially suitable and thus eligible for Germanisation were handed over to SS families. The village was then completely leveled until not a trace remained. The Associated Press, quoting German radio transmissions which it received in New York, said: "All male grownups of the town were shot, while the women were placed in a concentration camp, and the children were entrusted to appropriate educational institutions" Nazi propaganda openly and proudly announced the events at Lidice, in direct contrast to the disinformation and secrecy involved with other crimes against civilian populations, with intense outrage occurring among Allied nations and particularly Anglosphere countries.

June 10, 1964: Civil Rights Movements: The American Civil Rights Movement (1954-1968): Anti-Racism: Anti-Racism In The United States: Anti-Discrimination Law In The United States: The Civil Rights Act Of 1964: -- The United States Senate imposes cloture for first time on a civil rights measure, breaking a 75-day filibuster (a political procedure in which one or more members of a legislative body prolong debate on proposed legislation so as to delay or entirely prevent decision) by the "Southern Bloc" of senators against the Civil Rights Act Of 1964, with its equal public accommodation and fair employment provisions, by a vote of 71-29, enabling the bill to proceed through the Senate. On June 19, it was passed by the Senate by a vote of 73-27, quickly passed through the conference committee which adopted the Senate version of the bill, then was passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by Johnson on July 2, 1964. The filibuster began on March 30, 1964, when the Southern Bloc of 18 southern Democratic Senators and lone Republican John Tower of Texas, led by Richard Russell, in order to prevent the bill's . Russell proclaimed, "We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would tend to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our [Southern] states." Strong opposition to the bill also came from Senator Strom Thurmond, who was still a Democrat at the time: "This so-called Civil Rights Proposals [sic], which the President has sent to Capitol Hill for enactment into law, are unconstitutional, unnecessary, unwise and extend beyond the realm of reason. This is the worst civil-rights package ever presented to the Congress and is reminiscent of the Reconstruction proposals and actions of the radical Republican Congress." After the filibuster had gone on for 54 days, Senators Mansfield, Hubert Humphrey, Everett Dirksen, and Thomas Kuchel introduced a substitute bill that they hoped would overcome it by combining a sufficient number of Republicans as well as core liberal Democrats. The compromise bill was weaker than the House version as to the government's power in regulating the conduct of private business, but not weak enough to make the House reconsider it. Senator Robert Byrd ended his filibuster in opposition to the bill on the morning of June 10, 1964, after 14 hours and 13 minutes. Up to then, the measure had occupied the Senate for 60 working days, including six Saturdays. The day before, Humphrey, the bill's manager, concluded that he had the 67 votes required at that time to end the debate and the filibuster. With six wavering senators providing a four-vote victory margin, the final tally stood at 71 to 29. Never before in its entire history had the Senate been able to muster enough votes to defeat a filibuster on a civil rights bill, and only once in the 37 years since 1927 had it agreed to cloture for any measure. The most dramatic moment during the cloture vote came when Senator Clair Engle was wheeled into the chamber. Suffering from terminal brain cancer, unable to speak, he pointed to his left eye, signifying his affirmative "Aye" vote when his name was called. He died seven weeks later.

Throughout the night of June 9-10, the Israelis continued their advance, though it was slowed by fierce resistance. An anticipated Syrian counterattack never materialized. At the fortified village of Jalabina, a garrison of Syrian reservists, levelling their anti-aircraft guns, held off the Israeli 65th Paratroop Battalion for four hours before a small detachment managed to penetrate the village and knock out the heavy guns. Meanwhile, the 8th Brigade's tanks moved south from Qala, advancing six miles to Wasit under heavy artillery and tank bombardment. At the Banias in the north, Syrian mortar batteries opened fire on advancing Israeli forces only after Golani Brigade sappers cleared a path through a minefield, killing sixteen Israeli soldiers and wounding four. On day broke on June 10, the central and northern groups joined in a pincer movement on the plateau, but that fell mainly on empty territory as the Syrian forces retreated. At 8:30 am, the Syrians began blowing up their own bunkers, burning documents and retreating. Several units joined by Elad Peled's troops climbed to the Golan from the south, only to find the positions mostly empty. When the 8th Brigade reached Mansura, five miles from Wasit, the Israelis met no opposition and found abandoned equipment, including tanks, in perfect working condition. In the fortified Banias village, Golani Brigade troops found only several Syrian soldiers chained to their positions. During the day, the Israeli units stopped after obtaining manoeuvre room between their positions and a line of volcanic hills to the west. In some locations, Israeli troops advanced after an agreed-upon cease-fire to occupy strategically strong positions. To the east, the ground terrain is an open gently sloping plain. This position later became the cease-fire line known as the "Purple Line". Time magazine reported: "In an effort to pressure the United Nations into enforcing a ceasefire, Damascus Radio undercut its own army by broadcasting the fall of the city of Quneitra three hours before it actually capitulated. That premature report of the surrender of their headquarters destroyed the morale of the Syrian troops left in the Golan area." 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.

June 10: National Isabel Day: -- Celebrated the popular name that originated during medieval Europe yet gained much popularity later in the 2000s. In 2003, it made the top 100 list of baby names. Elizabeth, known as Elisabel in medieval Europe, is thought of as an evolved version of Isabel today. Isabel can signify many things, including 'a pledge to God,' 'God is perfection,' 'God is my oath,' and 'consecrated to God.' Additionally, the spelling of Isabel varies according to location. The Italian and German equivalents are 'Isabella' and 'Isobel,' respectively, while the French form is 'Isabel.' Belle, Bella, Izzy, Isa, and Ibby are some of the nicknames that Isabels are known to bear. Even the monikers have popular references and beautiful meanings - Belle is the name of the Disney princess from "Beauty and the Beast," Bella is an Italian name that means 'beautiful,' Izzy and Ibby are more trendy nicknames, and Isa is the Arabic translation of Jesus. Many individuals love the name Isabel for their children because of its profound meaning and alluring ring. The main issue is that the name isn't as distinctive as it once was. In 2020, only 1,756 infants in the U.S. were named Isabel. Idealistically, girls rather than boys should be named Isabel. Isabel is the name of the daughter of Angela Kinsley, a well-known actor, and according to Annette Bening and Warren Beatty, Isabel is their third child's name. Isabel gained popularity almost a century after its first wave of prominence thanks to the classic but off-beat female character of Henry James's "Portrait of a Lady" - Isabel Archer. Many other famous personalities share the name Isabel, such as Chilean author Isabel Allende, painter Isabel Bishop, and Cuban-American fashion designer Isabel Toledo. https://store.earthstation1.com/oh-what-a-lovely-war-dvd-world-war-i-musical-comedy.html

June 10: National Colt Day: -- Celebrated a name that arouses imagery of the Wild West with cowboys riding off into the sunset across a desert plane. Originally meaning a 'young horse' preferably below the age of four, Colt is also the metonymic name for stable boys that tend to horses and asses. Colt acquired its lively and vigorous connotation over the years as many such adventurous minds bearing the name Colt rose to prominence on the American frontier. Many even consider Colt as a jock name owing to its association with young horses and quarterback Colt McCoy. In medieval English, colt means a 'young horse' or 'a caretaker of horses.' In Hebrew, 'colt' refers to a 'young camel,' and in Swedish, a similar word 'kult' refers to the 'piglet,' 'young bore,' or a 'young boy.' The repeated reference to youthful members of the animal realm is often interpreted as Colt's qualities of being inexperienced, obstinate, and lively. The name Colt is also used as a nickname for the name Colton in the United States. Many people also use the last name 'Colt,' which has its roots in central Scotland. Recently, Colt has become a forerunner among parents choosing a name for their young ones, yet until a few decades ago, the name Colt was not even cutting into the list of top 1,000 names in the United States. Why? The answer is Colt McCoy - a quarterback currently playing for the Arizona Cardinals, who has become a fan favorite. Colt seems like a name that is not very peculiar for people to understand, yet it is not common. Samuel Colt is another worthy personality, sensationalizing the name 'Colt.' He is an industry mogul credited with the invention of the revolver. https://store.earthstation1.com/the-lone-ranger-rides-again-1939-dvd-complete-serial-2-19392.html

James McDivitt, American USAF Brigadier General, test pilot, aeronautical engineer and NASA astronaut who flew in the Gemini and Apollo programs, commander of the Gemini 4 flight during which Ed White performed the first U.S. spacewalk, and of of the Apollo 9 flight which was the first manned flight test of the Lunar Module and the complete set of Apollo flight hardware (d. October 13, 2022) is #born James Alton McDivitt Jr. in Chicago, Illinois. He later became Manager of Lunar Landing Operations and was the Apollo Spacecraft Program Manager from 1969 to 1972. June 3, 1965 saw the launch of Gemini 4, the first multi-day space mission by a NASA crew. Ed White, a crew member, performs the first American spacewalk. Gemini 4 (officially Gemini IV) was the second manned space flight in NASA's Project Gemini, occurring in June 1965. It was the tenth manned American spaceflight (including two X-15 flights at altitudes exceeding 100 kilometers (54 nmi)). Astronauts James McDivitt and Ed White circled the Earth 66 times in four days, making it the first US flight to approach the five-day flight of the Soviet Vostok 5. The highlight of the mission was the first space walk by an American, during which White floated free outside the spacecraft, tethered to it, for approximately 20 minutes. Both of these accomplishments helped the United States overcome the Soviet Union's early lead in the Space Race. The flight also included the first attempt to make a space rendezvous as McDivitt attempted to maneuver his craft close to the Titan II upper stage which launched it into orbit, but this was not successful. The flight was the first American flight to perform many scientific experiments in space, including use of a sextant to investigate the use of celestial navigation for lunar flight in the Apollo program. March 3, 1969 saw NASA launch Apollo 9 to test the lunar module. Apollo 9 was the third manned mission in the United States Apollo space program and the first flight of the Command/Service Module (CSM) with the Lunar Module (LM, pronounced "Lem"). Its three-person crew, consisting of Commander James McDivitt, Command Module Pilot David Scott, and Lunar Module Pilot Rusty Schweickart, spent ten days in low Earth orbit testing several aspects critical to landing on the Moon, including the LM engines, backpack life support systems, navigation systems, and docking maneuvers. The mission was the second manned launch of a Saturn V rocket. After launching on March 3, 1969, the crewmen performed the first manned flight of a LM, the first docking and extraction of a LM, two spacewalks (EVA), and the second docking of two manned spacecraft, two months after the Soviets performed a spacewalk crew transfer between Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5. The mission proved the LM worthy of manned spaceflight. Further tests on the Apollo 10 mission would prepare the LM for its ultimate goal, landing on the Moon. They returned to Earth on March 13, 1969. James McDivitt died in his sleep on October 13, 2022, in Tucson, Arizona. He was 93 years old. His remains were cremated, and the ashes given to his family. https://store.earthstation1.com/to-the-moon-the-story-in-sound-complete-6-album-set-mp3-63.html

The agent, Samuel F. Statcher, wanted to dam the canyon for water, fence both ends for grazing and build an Indian School (a forced "Americanizing" of the natives) among the ruins. Biye', charged with the murder, served several years in prison, but was released in 1914 due to poor health. Often described as a wealthy or prosperous man, Wetherill's only asset at the time of his death was ranch property worth five thousand dollars. He was owed more than eleven thousand dollars by Navajos, Hispanics, and Anglos. Little of the money owed Wetherill was ever collected by his widow who lived in modest circumstances, dying in Albuquerque in 1954. Wetherill and his wife Marietta are buried in the small cemetery west of Pueblo Bonito along with several Navajos. The cemetery lies just over a hundred meters west of Bonito behind a wooden fence. Richard Wetherill's heirs donated a large collection of artifacts to the University of New Mexico in 1954. Wetherill's work was important in securing the designation of Mesa Verde as a National Park and Chaco Canyon as a National Monument. Richard Wetherill was born in Chester, Pennsylvania. He is credited with the rediscovery of Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde in Colorado and was responsible for initially selecting the term Anasazi, Navajo for ancient enemies, as the name for these ancient people. He also excavated Kiet Seel Ruin, now in Navajo National Monument in northeastern Arizona, and Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Wetherill was fascinated by the ruins and artifacts of the Southwestern United States and made a living as a rancher, guide, excavator of ancient ruins, and trading post operator. He was criticized as a "pot hunter" by his archaeologist competitors, although many of the artifacts he found were sold or donated to prominent museums and his work was often financed or overseen by museums. https://store.earthstation1.com/spirits-of-the-canyon-richard-wetherill-chaco-canyon-mp4-download-dv4.html

June 10, 1976: #DOTD: #RIP: Adolph Zukor, Hungarian-American film producer, co-founded Paramount Pictures (b. January 7, 1873) #dies from natural causes at his Los Angeles residence at age 103. He is buried at the Temple Israel Cemetery in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. He was born into a Jewish family in Ricse, Hungary, which was then a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1889, at the age of 16, he immigrated to the United States. Like most immigrants, he began modestly. When he first landed in New York, he stayed with his family and worked in an upholstery shop. A friend got him a job as an apprentice at a furrier. By 1903, fourteen years later, he looked, lived and earned like a wealthy young burgher. He became involved in the motion picture industry when in 1903 his cousin, Max Goldstein approached him for a loan to expand a chain of theaters that began in Buffalo, New York with Edisonia Hall. The arcade salon, the Automatic Vaudeville Company on 14th Street in New York City was to feature Thomas Edison's marvels: phonographs, electric lights and moving pictures. Zukor not only gave Goldstein the money but insisted on forming a partnership to open another one. Another partner in the venture was Marcus Loew, pioneer of the motion picture industry who formed Loew's Theatres and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studio (MGM). In 1912, Adolph Zukor established Famous Players Film Company: advertising "Famous Players in Famous Plays". The studio evolved into Famous Players-Lasky with co-producer Jesse L. Lasky. The Paramount Pictures Corporation was formed to distribute films made by Famous Players-Lasky, and a dozen smaller companies pulled into Zukor's corporate giant. The consolidations led to the formation of a nationwide film distribution system. And in 1919, the company bought 135 theaters in the Southern states, making the producing concern the first that guaranteed exhibition of its own product in its own theaters. He revolutionized the film industry by organizing production, distribution, and exhibition within a single company. https://store.earthstation1.com/hollywood-1980-tv-documentary-series-13-shows-4-dual-lay1980134.html

June 10, 1967: #DOTD: #RIP: Spencer Tracy, American actor, one of the major stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, known for his natural performing style and versatility, winner of two Academy Awards for Best Actor from nine nominations, sharing the record for nominations in the category with Laurence Olivier (b. (April 5, 1900) #dies from a heart attack in his Beverly Hills, California apartment home, aged 67. Tracy spent most of the last two years of his life at home with Hepburn, living what she described as a quiet life: reading, painting, and listening to music. On June 10, 1967, 17 days after completing what was his last film role in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Tracy awakened at 3:00 am to make himself a cup of tea. Hepburn described in her autobiography how she followed him to the kitchen: "Just as I was about to give [the door] a push, there was a sound of a cup smashing to the floor - then clump - a loud clump." She entered the room to find Tracy lying dead. Hepburn recalled, "He looked so happy to be done with living, which for all his accomplishments had been a frightful burden for him." To cover up Tracy's extramarital partnership with Hepbun, MGM publicist Howard Strickling told the media that Tracy had been alone when he died and was found by his housekeeper. A Requiem Mass was held for Tracy on June 12 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in East Hollywood. Active pallbearers included George Cukor, Stanley Kramer, Frank Sinatra, James Stewart, and John Ford. Out of consideration for Tracy's family, Hepburn did not attend the funeral. Tracy is interred at Glendale's Forest Lawn Memorial Park, near his wife Louise, son John and daughter Susie. Spencer Tracy was born Spencer Bonaventure Tracy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Tracy first discovered his talent for acting while attending Ripon College, and he later received a scholarship for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He spent seven years in the theatre, working in a succession of stock companies and intermittently on Broadway. Tracy's breakthrough came in 1930, when his lead performance in The Last Mile caught the attention of Hollywood. After a successful film debut in John Ford's Up the River starring Tracy (and also featuring Humphrey Bogart), he was signed to a contract with Fox Film Corporation. His five years with Fox featured one acting tour de force after another that were usually ignored at the box office, and he remained largely unknown to audiences after 25 films, almost all of them starring Tracy as the leading man. None of them were hits although his performance in The Power and the Glory (1933) was praised at the time. In 1935, Tracy joined Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, then Hollywood's most prestigious studio. His career flourished from Fury (1936) onwards, and in 1937 and 1938 he won consecutive Oscars for Captains Courageous and Boys Town. He made three box-office successes supporting Clark Gable, the studio's most prominent leading man so that by the early 1940s, Tracy was one of the studio's top stars. In 1942, he appeared with Katharine Hepburn in Woman of the Year, beginning another partnership leading to nine movies over 25 years. Tracy left MGM in 1955, and continued to work regularly as a freelance star, despite an increasing weariness as he aged. His personal life was troubled, with a lifelong struggle against severe alcoholism and guilt over his son's deafness. Tracy became estranged from his wife in the 1930s, but the couple never divorced, conducting a long-term relationship with Katharine Hepburn in private. Towards the end of his life, Tracy worked almost exclusively for director Stanley Kramer. It was for Kramer that he made his last film, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), completed just 17 days before he died. During his career, Tracy appeared in 75 films and developed a reputation among his peers as one of the screen's greatest actors. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Tracy as the 9th greatest male star of Classic Hollywood Cinema. https://store.earthstation1.com/katharine-hepburn-all-about-me-dvd-mp4-us4.html

August 25, 1909) #dies suddenly of an aortic aneurysm at his mother's home in Harrogate, Yorkshire, England, aged 61. After his cremation, his ashes were interred in Harlow Hill Cemetery, Harrogate. Michael Rennie was born Eric Alexander Rennie in Idle near Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, the second son of a Scottish wool mill owner, James Rennie, and his English wife Amelia (nee Dobby), he is perhaps best remembered for his starring role as the space visitor Klaatu in the science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), the first postwar, large-budget, "A" science-fiction film, in which Rennie received top billing after Claude Rains turned down the role. It was a serious, high-minded exploration of mid-20th century suspicion and paranoia, combined with a philosophical overview of humanity's coming place in the larger universe. Rennie said director Robert Wise told him to do the role "with dignity but not with superiority". The story was later dramatised in 1954 on Lux Radio Theatre, with Rennie and Billy Gray recreating their original film roles. Seven years later, on 3 March 1962, when The Day the Earth Stood Still made its television premiere on NBC's NBC Saturday Night at the Movies, Rennie appeared in a two-minute introductory prologue before the start of the film. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Rennie appeared in more than 50 films, including Secret Agent (1936), Dangerous Moonlight aka Suicide Squadron (1941), Pimpernel" Smith (1941), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel (1951) as Narrator, Les Miserables (1952), Titanic (1953) as End Narrator, The Desert Rats (1953), The Robe (1953), Prince Valiant (1954) as Narrator, Desiree (1954), Omar Khayyam (1957), Battle of the V-1 (1958), The Lost World (1960), The Devil's Brigade (1968), and The Battle Of El Alamein (1969). He also appeared in several American television series, including Route 66 (1961), The Virginian (TV series) (1963), Perry Mason (1963), Lost in Space (1965), Bonanza (1965), Batman (1966) as The Sandman, The Time Tunnel (1966), The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

June 10, 1926: #BOTD: #HBD! Lionel Jeffries, English actor, director, screenwriter and soldier (d. February 19, 2010) is #born Lionel Charles Jeffries in Forest Hill, south London to Salvation Army social worker parents, Lionel Jeffries appeared primarily in films and received a Golden Globe Award nomination during his acting career. As a boy, he attended the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Wimborne Minster in Dorset. In 1945, he received a commission in the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry and served in Burma at the Rangoon radio station during the Second World War, being awarded the Burma Star. He blamed the Burmese humidity for his hair loss at the age of 19. He also served as a captain in the Royal West African Frontier Force. He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He entered repertory at the David Garrick Theatre, Lichfield, Staffordshire for two years and appeared in early British television plays. Jeffries built a successful career in British films mainly in comic character roles and as he was prematurely bald he often played characters older than himself, such as the role of father to Caractacus Potts (played by Dick Van Dyke) in the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), although Jeffries was actually six months younger than Van Dyke. His acting career reached a peak in the 1960s with leading roles in other films like Two-Way Stretch (1960), The Trials of Oscar Wilde (1960), Murder Ahoy! (opposite Margaret Rutherford), First Men in the Moon (1964) and Camelot (1967). He costarred with Peter Sellers in The Wrong Arm Of The Law (1963). Jeffries turned to writing and directing children's films, including a well-regarded version of The Railway Children (1970) and The Amazing Mr Blunden (1972). He was a member of the British Catholic Stage Guild. Jeffries had a negative attitude towards television and avoided the medium for many years. He reluctantly appeared on television in an acting role in the 1980 London Weekend Television Dennis Potter drama Cream in My Coffee and realised that television production values were now little different from those in the film industry; as a result he developed a belated career in television. He appeared in an episode of the Thames Television/ITV comedy-drama Minder in 1983 as Cecil Caine, an eccentric widower, and in an episode of Inspector Morse in 1990 (Central Television/Zenith/ITV). He starred as Tom (Thomas Maddisson) in the Thames/ITV situation comedy Tom, Dick and Harriet with Ian Ogilvy and Brigit Forsyth. During location filming with Ogilvy for a 1983 episode, a stunt involving a car and a lake went very badly wrong, ending up with Jeffries only just managing to get out of the car's front window before the vehicle sank in 45 feet of water. Lionel Jeffries retired from acting in 2001 and his health declined in the following years. He died at a nursing home in Poole, Dorset, aged 83, having suffered from vascular dementia for the last twelve years of his life. His remains were cremated, and the ashes given to his wife Eileen Mary Walsh. In honor of his passing, he is mentioned before the ending titles in the film The First Men In The Moon, released in 2010: "For Lionel Jeffries 1926-2010". https://store.earthstation1.com/the-wrong-arm-of-the-law-dvd-1963-pater-sellers-lionel-jeff1963.html

June 10, 1946: #DOTD: #RIP: Jack Johnson, African American boxer nicknamed the "Galveston Giant", for a time the most famous and most notorious African American akuve who, at the height of the Jim Crow era, became the first black world heavyweight boxing champion, widely regarded as one of the most influential boxers of all time (b. March 31, 1878) #dies in a high-speed car crash with a telegraph pole on U.S. Highway 1 near Franklinton, North Carolina, after driving angrily away from a segregated diner that had refused to serve him. Though his friend survived the high-speed collision, Johnson was taken to the nearest black hospital, Saint Agnes Hospital, 25 miles away in Raleigh, where he died of his injuries at the age of 68. Johnson was buried next to his first wife, Etta Duryea Johnson who died of suicide in 1912, at Graceland Cemetery in Chicago. His grave was initially unmarked, but later it was marked with a large stone which only bore the name "Johnson." This marker was added to with a new marker after Ken Burns released a film about Johnson's life in 2005, which read "Jack / John A. Johnson / 1878-1946" [front] "First black heavyweight / champion of the world". Johnson's signature is on the back of the stone. He was born John Arthur Johnson in Galveston, Texas. His 1910 fight against James J. Jeffries was dubbed the "fight of the century". Transcending boxing, he became part of the culture and history of racism in the United States. In 1912, Johnson opened a successful and luxurious "black and tan" (desegregated) restaurant and nightclub, which in part was run by his wife, a white woman. Major newspapers of the time soon claimed that Johnson was attacked by the government only after he became famous as a black man married to a white woman, and was linked to other white women. Johnson was arrested on charges of violating the Mann Act-forbidding one to transport a woman across state lines for "immoral purposes"-a racially motivated charge that embroiled him in controversy for his relationships, including marriages, with white women. Sentenced to a year in prison, Johnson fled the country and fought boxing matches abroad for seven years until 1920 when he served his sentence at the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth. On May 24, 2018, Johnson was formally pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump. Folksinger and blues singer Lead Belly referenced Johnson in a song about the Titanic: "Jack Johnson wanna get on board, Captain said I ain't hauling no coal. Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well. When Jack Johnson heard that mighty shock, mighta seen the man do the Eagle rock. Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well" (The Eagle Rock was a popular dance at the time). In 1969, American folk singer Jaime Brockett reworked the Lead Belly song into a satirical talking blues called "The Legend of the S.S. Titanic." There is no convincing evidence that Johnson was in fact refused passage on the Titanic because of his race, as these songs allege. Johnson's story is the basis of the play The Great White Hope and its 1970 film adaptation, starring James Earl Jones as "Jack Jefferson", and Jane Alexander as his love interest. Both Jones and Alexander won Tonys and were nominated for Oscars. https://store.earthstation1.com/titanic-documentaries-dvd.html

June 10, 1940: #DOTD: #RIP: Marcus Garvey, Black Nationalist and Pan-Africanist whose ideas came to be known as Garveyism, who exerted a considerable influence on such movements as Rastafari, the Nation of Islam, and the Black Power Movement; Jamaican political activist, publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator, founder and first President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL, commonly known as UNIA), through which he declared himself Provisional President of Africa; founder the Black Star Line shipping company (b. August 17, 1887) #dies of a stroke in London, England, aged 52. Marcus Mosiah Garvey Sr. ONH (Order Of National Hero (Jamaica)) had his body interred in a vault in the catacombs of the chapel of St Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Kensal Green, West London. Various wakes and memorials were held for Garvey, especially in New York City and Kingston. In Harlem, a procession of mourners paraded to his memorial service. Some Garveyites refused to believe Garvey had died, even when confronted with photographs of his body in its coffin, insisting that this was part of a conspiracy to undermine his movement. Both Ashwood and Jacques presented themselves as the "widow of Marcus Garvey" and Ashwood launched legal action against Jacques in an attempt to secure control over his body. The writer Richard Hart later noted that within a decade of his death "a veritable cult" had begun to grow around Garvey's memory in Jamaica. By the 1950s, Jamaican politicians of varied ideological backgrounds were invoking his name. Leslie Alexander, a Kingston real estate agent, proposed the removal of Garvey's body and its return to Jamaica. Alexander's campaign was successful and in 1964 Garvey's remains were dug up and returned to Jamaica. The body lay in state at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Kingston and thousands of visitors came for a viewing. His body was then reburied in King George VI Memorial Park on 22 November 1964 with pomp and ceremony befitting a national hero; numerous foreign diplomats attended. The monument, designed by G. C. Hodges, consists of a tomb at the center of a raised platform in the shape of a black star, a symbol often used by Garvey. Behind it, a peaked and angled wall houses a bust, by Alvin T. Marriot, of Garvey, which was added to the park in 1956 (before his reinterment) and relocated after the construction of the monument. Marcus Garvey was born Marcus Mosiah Garvey in Saint Ann's Bay, a town in the Colony of Jamaica, to a moderately prosperous Afro-Jamaican family in Saint Ann's Bay and apprenticed into the print trade as a teenager. Working in Kingston, he became involved in trade unionism before living briefly in Costa Rica, Panama, and England. Returning to Jamaica, he founded UNIA in 1914. In 1916, he moved to the United States and established a UNIA branch in New York City's Harlem district. Emphasising unity between Africans and the African diaspora, he campaigned for an end to European colonial rule across Africa and the political unification of the continent. He envisioned a unified Africa as a one-party state, governed by himself, that would enact laws to ensure black racial purity. Although he never visited the continent, he was committed to the Back-to-Africa movement, arguing that part of the diaspora should migrate there. Garveyist ideas became increasingly popular and UNIA grew in membership. However, his black separatist views - and his limited cooperation with white racists like the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in the interest of advancing their shared goal of racial separatism - divided Garvey from other prominent African American civil rights activists such as W. E. B. Du Bois who promoted racial integration. Believing that black people needed financial independence from white-dominant society, Garvey launched various businesses in the U.S., including the Negro Factories Corporation and Negro World newspaper. In 1919, he became President of the Black Star Line shipping and passenger company, designed to forge a link between North America and Africa and facilitate African American migration to Liberia. In 1923 Garvey was convicted of mail fraud for selling the company's stock, and imprisoned in the United States Penitentiary, Atlanta for nearly two years. Many commentators have argued that the trial was politically motivated; Garvey blamed Jewish people, claiming that they were prejudiced against him because of his links to the KKK. After his sentence was commuted by U.S. president Calvin Coolidge, he was deported to Jamaica in 1927. Settling in Kingston with his wife Amy Jacques, Garvey established the People's Political Party in 1929, briefly serving as a city councillor. With UNIA in increasing financial difficulty, in 1935 he relocated to London, where his anti-socialist stance distanced him from many of the city's black activists. He died there in 1940, although in 1964 his body was returned to Jamaica for reburial in Kingston's National Heroes Park. Garvey was a controversial figure. Some in the African diasporic community regarded him as a pretentious demagogue and were highly critical of his collaboration with white supremacists, his violent rhetoric, and his prejudice against mixed-race people and Jews. He nevertheless received praise for encouraging a sense of pride and self-worth among Africans and the African diaspora amid widespread poverty, discrimination, and colonialism. In Jamaica he is widely regarded as a national hero. https://store.earthstation1.com/black-civil-rights-films-africanamerican-history-dvd.html

June 10, 2004: #DOTD: #RIP: Ray Charles, African American singer-songwriter, pianist, and actor (b. September 23, 1930) #dies at his home in Beverly Hills, California of complications resulting from liver failure at the age of 73. He is buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California. Ray Charles was born Ray Charles Robinson in Albany, Georgia. Known professionally as Ray Charles, he was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and composer. Among friends and fellow musicians he preferred being called "Brother Ray". He was often referred to as "The Genius". Charles was blind from the age of seven. He pioneered the soul music genre during the 1950s by combining blues, rhythm and blues, and gospel styles into the music he recorded for Atlantic Records. He also contributed to the integration of country music, rhythm and blues, and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his two Modern Sounds albums. While he was with ABC, Charles became one of the first black musicians to be granted artistic control by a mainstream record company. Charles cited Nat King Cole as a primary influence, but his music was also influenced by country, jazz, blues, and rhythm and blues artists of the day, including Louis Jordan and Charles Brown. He became friends with Quincy Jones. Their friendship lasted until the end of Charles's life. Frank Sinatra called Ray Charles "the only true genius in show business", although Charles downplayed this notion. In 2002, Rolling Stone ranked Charles number ten on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time", and number two on their November 2008 list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". It was Eddie Cochran, while sitting backstage after his first concert in the UK, that he asked all present, "Have any of you ever heard Ray Charles?". No one had, and he took out the record "What I Say" and played it, to universal praise and admiration. https://store.earthstation1.com/rock-amp-roll-an-unruly-history-10-part-tv-series-mp4-video-download-104.html

He signed th treaty with American emissary Tobias Lear of the U.S. Department of State, and he decided to abide by this treaty. His treacheries, however, were not over. Karamanli invited the leaders of the al-Jawazi tribe of Libya to his castle in Benghazi, following a dispute regarding tribute and an al-Jawazi uprising against his rule. The Pasha then ordered the execution of all attendees and of all other tribe members, resulting in the massacre of at least 10,000 people. Survivors eventually sought refuge in neighboring countries, especially in Egypt. Karamanli was thereafter forced to try to compensate for the subsequent crumbling Tripoli's economy when the various treaties of the Napoleonic Wars had forced the Barbary states to give up corsair activity almost entirely by 1819, Karamanli tried to replace the lost revenue by encouraging the trans-Saharan slave trade, but with abolitionist sentiment on the rise in Europe and to a lesser degree in the United States, this failed to salvage Tripoli's economy. As Karamanli weakened, factions sprung up around his three sons; though Karamanli abdicated in 1832 in favor of his son Ali II, civil war soon resulted. Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II in Istanbul sent in troops ostensibly to restore order, but they instead deposed and exiled Ali II, marking the end of both the Karamanli dynasty and an independent Tripoli which was from then on a vassal state of The Ottoman Empire. The First Barbary War (1801-1805), also known as the Tripolitan War and the Barbary Coast War, was a conflict which comprised the first half of The 1801-1815 Barbary Wars, which the United States fought against Ottoman Tripolitania. Tripolitania had declared war against the United States over disputes regarding invalid tributary payments in exchange for a cessation of Tripolitanian commerce raiding at sea. United States President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay this tribute. The First Barbary War was the first major American war fought outside the New World, and in the Arab world, besides the smaller American-Algerian War (1785-1795). https://store.earthstation1.com/the-gallant-breed-dvd-set-3-part-us-marine-history-2-dis32.html

Throughout this period, a pro-German government named Den Nasjonale Regjering ('The National Government') ruled Norway, while the Norwegian king Haakon VII and the prewar government escaped to London, where they formed a government in exile. Civil rule was effectively assumed by the Reichskommissariat Norwegen (Reich Commissariat Of Norway), which acted in collaboration with the pro-German puppet government. This period of military occupation is referred to in Norway as the "war years", "occupation period" or simply "the war". https://store.earthstation1.com/world-war-ii-the-war-years-17-part-tv-series-mp4-video-download-174.html

June 10, 2002: #DOTD: John Gotti, American gangster who became boss of the Gambino crime family in New York City (b. 1940) #dies of throat cancer at the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners (MCFP Springfield), aged 61. The Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn announced that Gotti's family would not be permitted to have a Requiem Mass, but allowed a memorial Mass after the burial. Gotti's funeral was held in a non-church facility. After the funeral, an estimated 300 onlookers followed the procession, which passed Gotti's Bergin Hunt and Fish Club, to the gravesite. Gotti's body was interred in a crypt next to his son Frank at Saint John Cemetery And Mausoleum in Middle Village, Queens County, New York. Gotti's brother, Peter, was unable to attend because of his incarceration. In an apparent repudiation of Gotti's leadership and legacy, the other New York City families sent no representatives to the funeral. Numerous prosecutions triggered by Gotti's tactics left the Gambinos devastated such that by the turn of the century, half of the family's made men were in prison. John Gotti and his brothers grew up in poverty and turned to a life of crime at an early age. Gotti quickly became one of the crime family's biggest earners and a protege of Gambino family underboss Aniello Dellacroce, operating out of the Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens. Early in his criminal career and following the FBI's indictment of members of Gotti's crew for selling narcotics, Gotti began to fear that he and his brother would be killed by Gambino boss Paul Castellano for selling drugs. As this fear continued to grow, and amidst growing dissent over the leadership of the crime family, Gotti organized the murder of Castellano in December 1985 and took over the family shortly thereafter, leaving Gotti as the boss of what has been described as America's most powerful crime syndicate, and one that made hundreds of millions of dollars a year from racketeering, hijacking, loan sharking, drug trafficking, bookmaking, prostitution, extortion, pornography, illegal gambling and other criminal activities. At his peak, Gotti was one of the most powerful and dangerous crime bosses in the United States. During his era he became widely known for his outspoken personality and flamboyant style, which gained him favor with some of the general public. While his peers avoided attracting attention, especially from the media, Gotti became known as "The Dapper Don", for his expensive clothes and personality in front of news cameras. He was later given the nickname "The Teflon Don" after three high-profile trials in the 1980s resulted in his acquittal, though it was later revealed that the trials had been tainted by jury tampering, juror misconduct, and witness intimidation. Law enforcement authorities continued gathering evidence against Gotti that helped lead to his downfall. According to Sammy Gravano, Gotti earned between 5-20 M USD per year during his tenure as Gambino boss. Gotti's underboss Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano aided the FBI in finally convicting Gotti. In 1991, Gravano agreed to turn state's evidence and testify for the prosecution against Gotti after hearing the boss making several disparaging remarks about Gravano on a wiretap that implicated them both in several murders. In 1992, Gotti was convicted of five murders, conspiracy to commit murder, racketeering, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, illegal gambling, extortion, and loansharking. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole and was transferred to United States Penitentiary, Marion in southern Illinois. According to former Lucchese crime family boss Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso, "What John Gotti did was the beginning of the end of Cosa Nostra". While in prison, Gotti died of throat cancer on June 10, 2002, at the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri. https://store.earthstation1.com/gacrfaammado.html
