September 1: National Tofu Day (United
Kingdom): -- Tofu is largely either loved or hated by people; the
first group adores the wholesome superfood and extols its
adaptability. Those in the second group don't comprehend the fuss,
either! Tofu is supposedly tasteless. This is all mostly accurate.
National Tofu Day, however, exhorts skeptics to give the dish
another go. There are many reasons why, but a fantastic place to
start is the abundance of health advantages. Without the fat, tofu
has a lot of protein. We also concur that tofu lacks flavor on its
own. But if you serve it with the ideal sauce or garnishes, you'll
never go wrong. Making tofu first became popular in China during
the Han era, almost 2,000 years ago. It then made its way to
eastern Asia, including Japan. The rise of Buddhism and the
vegetarian diet advised for practitioners may have occurred
simultaneously with the popularity of tofu. Since that time, tofu
has become a mainstay in East Asian kitchens. How does one make
tofu? Tofu is born from curdled soy milk pressed into a solid
block and cooled. Preparing tofu is similar to the production of
dairy cheese, where you curdle and solidify milk. Unlike cheese
making, you need to discard the whey and press the curds to form a
solid. Many people nowadays, especially vegetarians, enjoy tofu.
Tofu is a great source of protein, according to doctors,
nutritionists, and proponents of cruelty-free living. All nine of
the necessary amino acids are present. It also contains a ton of
zinc, copper, vitamin B1, manganese, magnesium, calcium, and
phosphorus. Sweet or savory, tofu lends itself beautifully to any
dish. You can cook it in different ways to change its texture. It
can transform from soft and silken smooth to crunchy depending on
the hand that cooks it. You can grill, bake, or stir-fry tofu. The
neutral (some might say bland) taste works well with multiple
foods. Think of all the flavor combinations you could try out in
the kitchen. We don't know why tofu gets such a bad rap. So, it's
high time we change the narrative. National Tofu Day is the best
day to start. If you haven't tried tofu yet, give it another go
today. On Sale Until Midnight Tonight PT!

September 1: National Burnt Ends Day: --
Are you ready for some flavor and sauce? Then get your BBQ
celebration on! Once considered trimmings or left-overs, burnt
ends come from the point of a brisket. However, these days burnt
ends take center stage in a BBQ basket of smoky flavor and
goodness! The name comes from the longer cooking time required for
tender brisket. As a result, these thinner points become a little
charred and tougher than the rest of the meat. Don't let that
description deter you, though. As a tradition in the Kansas City
area, they've mastered burnt ends and a taste for them has spread
across the country. Delicious on their own, burnt ends also taste
amazing on sandwiches and in stews. They can be sweet, spicy, and
of course smoky. A hint of hickory or cherry tantalizes the
senses. No wonder there is an entire day to celebrate! The
American Royal Association out of Kansas City founded National
Burnt Ends Day in 2021 to promote Kansas City BBQ and their
mouthwatering burnt ends. Established in 1899, the organization
promotes agricultural learning through competition, scholarships,
education, and agricultural events. The World Series of Barbecue
is the organization's largest fundraiser. On Sale Until Midnight

September 1: Ginger Cat Appreciation Day:
-- It sure smells like catnip in here! That's because today we
come together to celebrate the gingers of the feline world. Super
clingy, often misunderstood, and always ready to take a petting,
these orange furballs are supercelebrities of the cats. The day
also calls for establishing a connection with the stray animals
and encourages people to provide them with food and shelter. So
take this blessed day to pet a stray, stream "Garfield,"
and appreciate the gingers in your life. Oftentimes the turn we
are least expectant to take ends up changing our lives. Such is
the story of Chris Roy, a software developer turned animal rights
activist. In 1997, Roy found a stray cat near his home. Out of
pity, he carried the stray home and decided to foster him for a
while. Little did he know how that runt of the litter would change
the purpose of his life. Within weeks, Roy formed a special bond
with the feline and gave him a permanent place in his house. The
14-pound tabby filled Roy's day with warmth and belonging.
Doobert, the name he gave to his ginger, lived for 17 years. In
2014, Doobert's death rocked the shores of Roy's life and sucked
him into deep corners of uncharted grief. Grappling with the loss
of his beloved ginger, Roy dedicated the arrival of September 1 as
Ginger Cat Appreciation Day. He also launched Doobert, an online
app that connects rescue homes and animal shelters with volunteers
throughout the world. Since 2014, Doobert has worked with over
1,200 organizations across North America and built a volunteer
base of 27,000+ pet lovers and enthusiasts. By dedicating the day
in memory of his cat, Roy aims to raise awareness about the divine
duty of humans to look after our furry friends. With the annual
celebration of Ginger Cat Appreciation Day, we pledge to carry the
loving spirit of Doobert with us and spread the message of animal
welfare across the globe. Reach out to your local shelters, feed
the strays of your community, and raise a toast to the amazing
companionship that our pets provide us. On Sale Until Midnight

September 1: Pink Cadillac Day: -- Honors
the iconic pink car that became a cultural landmark of the 1950s.
Many thanks to its early supporters such as Elvis Presley and
later Bruce Springsteen, the car went from a shoddy black and
white convertible to the global symbol of luxury and pizzaz. It
was on this day in 1957 that Presley performed in front of 6000
people at the Lincoln Bowl in Tacoma, Washington. He immortalized
himself as the King Of Rock And Roll. On September 1, we paint the
town pink and celebrate our weirdest impulses. Pink Cadillac Day
is a joyous annual celebration of pink Cadillac cars, referred to
affectionately as 'caddy' by their proud owners. The car came into
prominence in the late naughts of the 1950s when the American gaze
was beholden by leotards, shiny belts, sideburns, and the luring
dances of emerging cultural icons such as Johnny Ace, Marilyn
Monroe, and our beloved Elvis Presley. Pink Cadillac Day is the
ultimate ode to the enduring influence of the 1950s American
automobile culture. The post-war boom, reflected in almost all
aspects of life, showed a major transgression in the cars we
drive. It was not until the 1950s that owning a car became a
possibility for millions of middle-class Americans. By amping up
the utility of vehicles, both as a necessity of life and a status
symbol, pop culture played an instrumental (pun intended!) role in
realizing the American dream of owning an automobile. Although the
original Cadillac Fleetwood did not debut until 1976, Presley led
the revolution of this longstanding cultural icon by having his
neighbor paint his black four-door sedan pink in 1955. Creating a
generational sensation from scratch was just something Presley did
in his lunchtime. Today, caddy counts as a vintage attraction,
with buyers across the world lining up for select sales and
auctions. As we continue to research the exact year of origin of
this holiday, let us take September 1 to suspend our preconceived
notions about living in a black and white world and splash it with
our favorite colors. On Sale Until Midnight Tonight PT!

September 1: National Forgiveness Day: --
A day to embrace healing, understanding, and unity by encouraging
forgiveness and fostering empathy. National Forgiveness Day traces
its roots back to the universal human need for healing and
forgiveness. We are using today's National Day to remind people
about the transformative power of forgiveness. It's time to let go
of grudges and embrace a path of unity and understanding.
Forgiveness isn't about condoning hurtful actions. Forgiveness is
about promoting empathy and connectedness to create a more
compassionate society. It's about a liberating choice that
unburdens us from feelings of resentment. Withholding forgiveness
can be debilitating. In fact, not forgiving people prevents people
who hurt from healing and moving forward in their lives. By
forgiving others, we contribute to healthier relationship by
improving our mental health and emotional well-being. Studies have
shown that forgiveness can lower blood pressure, reduce heart
rate, and even enhance the immune system. In fact, forgiveness can
also increase mental resilience because it releases negative
emotions that disrupt mental health. When people experience
forgiveness, they are more likely to engage in acts of kindness
toward others. Practicing forgiveness leads to changes in brain
activity and contributes to an overall sense of well-being. The
concept of forgiveness has been a part of human culture for
centuries. Ancient philosophies and religious teachings from
various cultures have emphasized the importance of letting go of
resentment and embracing forgiveness for inner peace. Finding
forgiveness does not mean you condone the behavior inflicted
towards you. It doesn't mean you have to have a relationship with
the person, either. The process of forgiveness is to benefit you
and your well-being. Just like learning a musical instrument or a
sport, forgiveness is a skill that can be developed and refined
over time. Unfortunately, many people struggle with learning to
forgive. It's important to remember forgiveness involves
understanding, empathy, and a willingness to move beyond negative
feelings. Begin with practicing self-compassion and
self-forgiveness. If blaming yourself is getting in the way of
forgiving, acknowledge your pain and accept you have the ability
to make peace with it. You don't have to make amends with the
person who hurt you to forgive. On Sale Until Midnight Tonight PT!

September 1: World Letter Writing Day: --
Now is the time to pick up a pen and pour out your feelings on a
piece of paper. Yes, writing something down may seem like a
peculiar idea in this day and age, but it will definitely be one
of the most interesting things you have done in a long time. The
letter can be a love letter, one filled with anger, or even one
simply written to create memories. All you have to do is write it,
and hand it over to the one it is addressed to. So grab your pen
and get started! The day was founded by Australian author, artist,
and photographer Richard Simpkin, who adores writing handwritten
letters. It all started when he began writing to individuals he
considered as Australian Legends, and also received their
responses! In 2005, his experience in writing letters to legends
made it possible for him to publish the book "Australian
Legends." In the book, he paid a tribute to the art of
writing letters and looked back at how it changed everything for
him. To further honor handwritten letters, he created the World
Letter Writing Day in 2014. He also holds letter-writing workshops
in schools to promote the art. Letter writing itself has existed
for centuries and was present in ancient Egypt and Greece times.
At that point though, letters were written on materials such as
metal, lead, wax-coated wooden tablets, pottery fragments, animal
skin, and papyrus. Earlier in the 17th and 18th centuries, letters
were merely used to send information, specific news, information,
or greetings. Others used letters to exchange ideas and formulate
critical thinking regarding particular subjects. This is why
several letters gathered from the past serve as an archive of
personal and diplomatic interactions for historians. They are even
used to determine how many events in history played out. From
thereon, letters became an art form and stood out as a genre of
literature. Things changed a great deal when postal services were
created and people started using letters for personal interaction.
In fact, during times of war, letters were the only way families
and lovers could stay in touch. On Sale Until Midnight Tonight PT!

September 1: National Acne Positivity
Day: -- Acne is a skin phenomenon that occurs when oil and dead
skin cells clog your hair follicles. It creates pimples,
whiteheads, as well as blackheads. While it is the most common
among teenagers, people of all ages can be affected. As common as
it is, acne can be a prominent source of insecurity for many
people, affecting other aspects of their lives, such as social and
personal aspects. National Acne Positivity Day aims to end this by
encouraging self-love, acceptance, and appreciation of this
natural skin phenomenon and ourselves. It is believed that the
origin of acne goes back to antiquity. The earliest mentions of
the condition come from historical records stating that Pharaohs
had acne. In addition, there is evidence that the use of sulfur as
a topical acne treatment dates back to Cleopatra's reign. Francois
Boissier de Sauvages de Lacroix, a French physician, and botanist,
published one of the first descriptions of acne in the 16th
century. He coined the name "psydracia achne" to
characterize small, red, and firm tubercles that changed the look
of a person's face during adolescence but were neither itchy nor
bothersome. When Joseph Plenck, an Austrian physician, wrote a
book in 1776 proposing the unique notion of classifying skin
illnesses by their fundamental lesions. The recognition and
classification of acne advanced further. Acne has a high financial
and social cost. Acne accounts for more than five million doctor
visits in the United States each year. Acne is also responsible
for 3.5 million doctor visits in the United Kingdom each year. In
2015, the top 10 leading acne treatment brands in the United
States made nearly $352 million in sales. Acne's causal and
inflammatory elements are frequently misunderstood, and people
blame acne sufferers for their disease. The victim's self-esteem
can be harmed as a result of such blame in addition to the
existing physical effects of acne. The stigma was worsened back in
the day by dermatology's link of acne with sexually transmitted
illnesses, particularly syphilis. Acne affects more than just a
person's appearance. Acne can negatively impact one's emotional
well-being. Researchers have discovered that patients with acne
can experience depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, poor
self-image, decreased quality of life, and a sense of being alone.
National Acne Positivity Day brings to light the commonality of
this skin condition. It aims to empower those with it by enabling
them to love and accept themselves the way they are. On Sale Until

September 1: Emma M. Nutt Day: -- You may
wonder, "Who is Emma Nutt?" She altered norms in a field
where men predominated as the first telephone operator in history.
Some of us still recall the time when telephone operators were
around (even at the risk of sounding ancient.) The first thing
that springs to mind when you think of a telephone operator is the
sound of a woman's nice, welcoming voice. However, there once was
a time when telephone operators were young men. As you can
understand, this situation could not continue. The world's first
female phone operator, Emma Nutt, opened doors for future
generations of women, and that is where her narrative begins. The
original phones were difficult to operate, a far cry from the
modern, svelte mobile phones. As if that weren't bad enough,
telephone companies employed young men who weren't particularly
skilled at interacting with others to handle the switchboards.
When calling the exchange, customers were never sure what to
expect. The boys had a penchant for having abrasive chats and were
nasty and impatient. They made jokes because, well, that's what
lads do, you know. They occasionally even cursed at the clients.
Alexander Graham Bell came up with the idea of replacing the boys
with young women - naturally predisposed to being 'polite.' Bell
hired a woman named Emma Nutt away from her job at the telegraph
office. Her first day of work was September 1, 1878, and Nutt
officially became the world's first telephone operator. Hours
later, her sister joined the same place and became the second.
Emma Nutt was a legend at her workplace. Reports say she
remembered every number in the New England Telephone Directory
Company. She was patient and cultured. Her soothing voice elevated
customer service to heights previously unseen. By the 1880s, most
telephone operators in the U.S. were women. Despite making
history, things weren't peachy for female telephone operators.
Nutt worked a 54-hour week for $10 a month. The lunch break was an
hour each day. Women had to be unmarried and between 17 and 26
years old to get jobs as operators. There was a string of height,
weight, and arm-length criteria. Passing height requirements were
mandatory. The companies needed women tall enough to reach the
tops of switchboards. The rules also stated that women of color
couldn't get jobs as operators. In the years that followed,
discriminatory work practices would trigger waves of activism for
equal rights. The women working at the telephone companies were
the heart of resistance and social change. On Sale Until Midnight

Walter Reuther & The UAW: Sit Down And Fight! MP4 Video
Download DVD
September 1, 1907: #BOTD: #HBD! Walter
Reuther, American union leader, civil rights activist,
environmentalist, founder of the United Auto Workers (UAW) who
built it into one of the most progressive labor unions in American
history, co-founder of the AFL-CIO, NAACP board member (d. May 9,
1970) is #born Walter Philip Reuther in Wheeling, West Virginia to
German-American parents. Walter Reuthersaw labor movements not as
narrow special interest groups but as instruments to advance
social justice and human rights in democratic societies. He
leveraged the UAW's resources and influence to advocate for
workers' rights, civil rights, women's rights, universal health
care, public education, affordable housing, environmental
stewardship and nuclear nonproliferation around the world. He
believed in Swedish-style social democracy and societal change
through nonviolent civil disobedience. He cofounded the AFL-CIO in
1955 with George Meany. He survived two attempted assassinations,
including one at home where he was struck by a 12-gauge shotgun
blast fired through his kitchen window, and there is evidence that
his death in a plane crash was caused by the sabotage of the
plane's altimeter. He was the fourth and longest serving president
of the UAW, serving from 1946 until his death in 1970. As the
leader of five million autoworkers including retirees and their
families, Reuther was influential inside the Democratic Party.
Following the Bay Of Pigs in 1961, JFK sent Reuther to Cuba to
negotiate a prisoner exchange with Fidel Castro. He was
instrumental in spearheading the creation of the Peace Corps and
in marshaling support for the Civil Rights Act Of 1964, the Voting
Rights Act Of 1965, Medicare and Medicaid, and the Fair Housing
Act. He met weekly in 1964 and 1965 with President Lyndon B.
Johnson at the White House to discuss policies and legislation for
the Great Society and War On Poverty. The Republican Party was
wary of Reuther, leading presidential candidate Richard Nixon to
say about John F. Kennedy during the 1960 election, "I can
think of nothing so detrimental to this nation than for any
President to owe his election to, and therefore be a captive of, a
political boss like Walter Reuther." Conservative politician
Barry Goldwater declared that "[Reuther] was more dangerous
to our country than Sputnik or anything Soviet Russia might do."
A powerful ally of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights
movement, Reuther marched with King in Detroit (Detroit Walk To
Freedom), Selma (Selma To Montgomery Marches), Birmingham (The
Birmingham Campaign), Montgomery (Selma To Montgomery Marches),
and Jackson (The March Against Fear). When King and others
including children were jailed in Birmingham, Alabama, and King
authored his famous Letter From Birmingham Jail, Reuther arranged
160K USD for the protestors' release. He also helped organize and
finance the March On Washington on August 28, 1963, delivering
remarks from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial shortly before King
gave his historic "I Have a Dream" speech on the
National Mall. An early supporter of Cesar Chavez and the United
Farm Workers, he asked Robert F. Kennedy to visit and support
Chavez. He served on the board of directors for the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and was
one of the founders of Americans For Democratic Action, a liberal
American political organization advocating progressive policies. A
lifetime environmentalist, Reuther played a critical role in
funding and organizing the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970.
According to Denis Hayes, the principal national organizer of the
first Earth Day, "Without the UAW, the first Earth Day would
have likely flopped!" Walter Reauther died aged 62 in what
was likely an assassination attempt along with his wife May,
architect Oscar Stonorov, Reuther's bodyguard William Wolfman,
pilot George O. Evans and co-pilot Joseph U. Karaffa when their
chartered Learjet 23 crashed in flames at 9:33 p.m. Eastern Time
in Pellston, Michigan. Journalist Michael Parenti wrote,
"Reuther's demise appears as part of a truncation of liberal
and radical leadership that included the deaths of four national
figures: President John Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King,
and Senator Robert Kennedy." The plane, arriving from Detroit
in rain and fog, was on final approach to Pellston Regional
Airport in Pellston, Michigan, near the UAW's recreational and
educational facility at Black Lake, Michigan. The National
Transportation Safety Board discovered that the plane's altimeter
was missing parts, some incorrect parts were installed, and one of
its parts had been installed upside down, which in light of two
earlier attempted assassinations and a similar near-crash in a
small plane in 1969 makes it likely that Reuther may have been
murdered a very messy manner, given the many innocent collateral
deaths. Reuther's funeral was held on May 15, 1970, at Ford
Auditorium in Detroit, Michigan. An estimated 3,400 people were in
attendance. Among others, Coretta Scott King eulogized: "Walter
Reuther was to black people, the most widely known and respected
white labor leader in the nation. He was there when the storm
clouds were thick. We remember him in Montgomery. He was in
Birmingham. He marched with us in Selma, and Jackson, Mississippi,
and in Washington. ... Only yesterday, there he was again in
Charleston, South Carolina, the leader of a million and a half
workers giving personal support to a strike of only 400 black
women. ... He was a big man, so of course he had enemies and
detractors. He had the courage to be with the minority when it was
right. He was a simple man in his personal life, a rare quality in
these flamboyant times ... but if his ways were simple, his ideas
were grand. He aroused the imagination of millions. ... He was
fighting the fight of the whole world." Walter and May
Reuther's ashes were spread in a simple ceremony on the hilltop
overlooking the Main Lobby area of United Auto Workers Local 1268,
1100 West Chrysler Drive, Belvidere, Illinois. On Sale Until

Fighting breaks out in the French communes of Beaumont-en-Argonne
and Sedan, Ardennes, beginning The Battle Of Sedan. By the second
and final day, the Battle of Sedan results in a decisive Prussian
victory, with the Prussian Fourth and Third Armies capturing
104,000 French soldiers along with 558 guns of the 130,000 strong
Army of Chalons, its commander Marshal Patrice de MacMahon, and
the Emperor Napoleon III, effectively dissolving the Army of
Chalons and deciding the war in favour of Prussia and its allies
(though fighting continued under a new French government). The
Army of Chalons, formed in the French city of Chalons
(Chalons-sur-Marne, modern Chalons-en-Champagne) on August 17,
1870 from elements of the Army of the Rhine (1870) (French: Armee
du Rhin (1870)), was attempting to lift the Siege Of Metz, only to
be caught by the Prussian Fourth Army and defeated at the Battle
of Beaumont on August 30. The Prussian Fourth and Third Armies,
commanded by Generalfeldmarschall Helmuth von Moltke and
accompanied by Prussian King Wilhelm I and Prussian Chancellor
Otto von Bismarck, encircled MacMahon's army at Sedan in a
gigantic battle of annihilation. Marshal MacMahon was wounded
during the attacks, and command passed to General
Auguste-Alexandre Ducrot, until it was taken over by General
Emmanuel Felix de Wimpffen. Pulverized from all sides by superior
German artillery firepower and with all breakout attempts
defeated, the French Army of Chalons capitulated on September 2.
While Napoleon III was taken prisoner, the French government in
Paris continued the war and proclaimed a Government of National
Defense on September 4. The German armies accordingly besieged

Schleswig-Holstein fires point-blank at the Polish Military
Transit Depot (Polish: Wojskowa Skladnica Tranzytowa, or WST) on
the Westerplatte peninsula in the harbor of the Free City of
Danzig with the support of the German army and Danzig police; at
5.30 a.m., Nazi Germany and Slovakia invade Poland after a lengthy
period of preparations. The pretext for the invasion, the supposed
attack on the Gleiwitz radio station, was staged by the German
secret police, and devised by Reinhard Heydrich under orders from
Hitler, to serve as a pretext for the invasion Poland. The
Invasion Of Poland, known in Poland as the September Campaign
(Kampania wrzesniowa) or the 1939 Defensive War (Wojna obronna
1939 roku), and in Germany as the Poland Campaign (Polenfeldzug)
or Fall Weiss ("Case White"), was a joint Invasion Of
Poland by Germany, the Soviet Union, the Free City of Danzig, and
a small Slovak contingent that marked the beginning of World War
II. The German invasion began on September 1, 1939, one week after
the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, while the Soviet
invasion commenced on September 17 following the Molotov-Togo
agreement that terminated the Soviet and Japanese hostilities in
the east on September 16. The campaign ended on 6 October with
Germany and the Soviet Union dividing and annexing the whole of
Poland under the terms of the German-Soviet Frontier Treaty.
German forces invaded Poland from the north, south, and west the
morning after the Gleiwitz incident. Slovak forces advanced
alongside the Germans in northern Slovakia. As the Wehrmacht
advanced, Polish forces withdrew from their forward bases of
operation close to the Polish-German border to more established
lines of defence to the east. After the mid-September Polish
defeat in the Battle of the Bzura, the Germans gained an
undisputed advantage. Polish forces then withdrew to the southeast
where they prepared for a long defence of the Romanian Bridgehead
and awaited expected support and relief from France and the United
Kingdom. While those two countries had pacts with Poland and had
declared war on Germany on 3 September, in the end their aid to
Poland was very limited. The Soviet Red Army's invasion of Eastern
Poland on 17 September, in accordance with a secret protocol of
the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, rendered the Polish plan of defence
obsolete. Facing a second front, the Polish government concluded
the defence of the Romanian Bridgehead was no longer feasible and
ordered an emergency evacuation of all troops to neutral Romania.
On October 6, following the Polish defeat at the Battle Of Kock,
German and Soviet forces gained full control over Poland. The
success of the invasion marked the end of the Second Polish
Republic, though Poland never formally surrendered. On 8 October,
after an initial period of military administration, Germany
directly annexed western Poland and the former Free City of Danzig
and placed the remaining block of territory under the
administration of the newly established General Government. The
Soviet Union incorporated its newly acquired areas into its
constituent Belarusian and Ukrainian republics, and immediately
started a campaign of Sovietization. In the aftermath of the
invasion, a collective of underground resistance organizations
formed the Polish Underground State within the territory of the
former Polish state. Many of the military exiles that managed to
escape Poland subsequently joined the Polish Armed Forces in the
West, an armed force loyal to the Polish government-in-exile.
Operation Himmler was a series of special operations undertaken by
the Schutzstaffel (SS) to serve Nazi German propaganda at the
outbreak of war. They were intended to create the appearance of
Polish aggression against Germany in order to justify the
subsequent Invasion Of Poland. During Hitler's declaration of war,
he did not mention Gleiwitz incident by name, but grouped all
provocations staged by the SS as an alleged Polish assault on
Germany. The evidence for the Gleiwitz attack having been a false
flag operation by the SS was provided by the German SS officer,
Alfred Naujocks in 1945. The radio station's historic Gliwice
Radio Tower is currently the tallest wooden structure in Europe.

September 1, 1939: The European Civil
War: World War II: The Second European War (The European Theater
Of World War II): Nazi Germany (The German Reich, The Third
Reich): Nazi Eugenics ("Racial Hygiene"): Aktion T4
(German: "Action T4"): -- Adolf Hitler, on the same day
he invaded Poland and began the European phase of World War II,
signs an order to begin Nazi Germany's systematic Aktion T4
euthanasia program of the mentally ill and the handicapped. On
August 24, 1941, Adolf Hitler orders the cessation of the program
due to protests, although killings continue for the remainder of
the war. Aktion T4 is a postwar name for mass murder through
involuntary euthanasia in Nazi Germany. The name T4 is an
abbreviation of Tiergartenstrasse 4, a street address of the
Chancellery department set up in the spring of 1940, in the Berlin
borough of Tiergarten, which recruited and paid personnel
associated with T4. Certain German physicians were authorized to
select patients "deemed incurably sick, after most critical
medical examination" and then administer to them a "mercy
death" (Gnadentod). In October 1939 Adolf Hitler signed a
"euthanasia note" backdated to 1 September 1939, that
authorized his physician Karl Brandt and Reichsleiter Philipp
Bouhler to implement the programme. The killings took place from
September 1939 until the end of the war in 1945, during which
275,000 to 300,000 people were killed at various extermination
centres at psychiatric hospitals in Germany and Austria, along
with those in occupied Poland and the Protectorate of Bohemia and
Moravia (now the Czech Republic). The number of victims was
originally recorded as 70,273 people but this number has been
increased by the discovery of victims listed in the archives of
former East Germany. About half of those killed were taken from
church-run asylums, often with the approval of the Protestant or
Catholic authorities of the institutions. Despite the Holy See
announcing on 2 December 1940 that the policy was contrary to the
natural and positive Divine law and that "The direct killing
of an innocent person because of mental or physical defects is not
allowed", the declaration was not upheld by some Catholic
authorities in Germany. In the summer of 1941, protests were led
in Germany by Bishop von Galen, whose intervention, according to
Richard J. Evans, led to "the strongest, most explicit and
most widespread protest movement against any policy since the
beginning of the Third Reich". Several reasons for the
programme have been offered, including eugenics, compassion,
reducing suffering, racial hygiene, economy and pressure on the
welfare budget. After the nominal end of the programme, physicians
in German and Austrian facilities continued many of the practices
of Aktion T4, until the defeat of Germany in 1945. The unofficial
continuation of the policy led to additional deaths by medicine
and similar means, resulting in 93,521 beds "emptied" by
the end of 1941. Technology that was developed under Aktion T4,
particularly the use of lethal gas to kill large numbers of
people, was taken over by the medical division of the Reich
Interior Ministry, along with personnel who had participated in
the development of the technology and later participated in
Operation Reinhard. The technology, personnel and techniques
developed were instrumental in the implementation of Nazi
genocides. Although the programme was authorized by Hitler, the
killings have since come to be viewed as murders in Germany. The
number killed was about 200,000 in Germany and Austria, while in
other European countries about 100,000 persons were also victims.

World War II: Evacuations During World War II: Evacuations Of
Civilians In Britain During World War II (Operation Pied Piper):
-- Operation Pied Piper, the codename for The Evacuation Of
Civilians In Britain During The Second World War, begins in order
to defend individuals, especially children, from the risks
associated with aerial bombing of cities by moving them to areas
thought to be less at risk. The effort began on September 1, 1939
and officially relocated 1.5 million people. There were further
waves of official evacuation and re-evacuation from the south and
east coasts in June 1940, when a seaborne invasion was expected,
and from affected cities after the Blitz began in September 1940.
Official evacuations also took place from the UK to other parts of
the British Empire, and many non-official evacuations within and
from the UK. Other mass movements of civilians included British
citizens arriving from the Channel Islands, and displaced people
arriving from continental Europe. The Children's Overseas
Reception Board (CORB) approved 24,000 children for evacuation
overseas. Between March and September 1940, 1,532 children were
evacuated to Canada, mainly through the Pier 21 immigration
terminal; 577 to Australia; 353 to South Africa and 202 to New
Zealand. The scheme was cancelled after the City of Benares was
torpedoed on 17 September 1940, killing 77 of the 90 CORB children
aboard. However, in 1940 and 1941 about 14,000 children were
evacuated privately to overseas relatives or foster families,
including 6,000 to Canada and 5,000 to the United States. The BBC
cooperated with radio networks in the host countries, to make
Children Calling Home, a programme which enabled the evacuated
children and their parents to talk to each other, live on air. On

Great Moments From NOVA DVD 1990 Best-Of Collection DVD, Download,

September ?, 1965: #BOTD: #HBD! Washoe,
female common chimpanzee who was the first non-human to learn to
communicate using American Sign Language (ASL) as part of a
research experiment on animal language acquisition (d. October 30,
2007) is #born in West Africa in 1965. She was captured for use by
the US Air Force for research for the US space program. Washoe was
named after Washoe County, Nevada, where she was raised and taught
to use ASL. In 1967, Allen Gardner and Beatrix Gardner established
a project to teach Washoe ASL at the University of Nevada, Reno.
At the time, previous attempts to teach chimpanzees to imitate
vocal languages (the Gua and Viki projects) had failed. The
Gardners believed that these projects were flawed because chimps
are physically unable to produce the voiced sounds required for
oral language. Their solution was to utilize the chimpanzee's
ability to create diverse body gestures, which is how they
communicate in the wild, by starting a language project based on
American Sign Language. The Gardners raised Washoe as one would
raise a child. She frequently wore clothes and sat with them at
the dinner table. Washoe had her own 8-foot-by-24-foot trailer
complete with living and cooking areas. The trailer had a couch,
drawers, a refrigerator, and a bed with sheets and blankets. She
had access to clothing, combs, toys, books, and a toothbrush. Much
like a human child, she underwent a regular routine with chores,
outdoor play, and rides in the family car. Upon seeing a swan,
Washoe signed "water" and "bird". Harvard
psychologist Roger Brown said that "was like getting an
S.O.S. from outer space". When Washoe was five, the Gardners
decided to move on to other projects, and she was moved to the
University of Oklahoma's Institute of Primate Studies in Norman,
Oklahoma, under the care of Roger Fouts and Deborah Fouts. Washoe
was raised in an environment as close as possible to that of a
human child, in an attempt to satisfy her psychological need for
companionship. While with Washoe, the Gardners and Foutses were
careful to communicate only in ASL with Washoe, rather than using
vocal communication, on the assumption that this would create a
less confusing learning environment for Washoe. This technique was
said to resemble that used when teaching human children language.
After the first couple of years of the language project, the
Gardners and Roger Fouts discovered that Washoe could pick up ASL
gestures without direct instruction, but instead by observing
humans around her who were signing amongst themselves. For
example, the scientists signed "toothbrush" to each
other while they brushed their teeth near her. At the time of
observation, Washoe showed no signs of having learned the sign,
but on a later occasion she reacted to the sight of a toothbrush
by spontaneously producing the correct sign, thereby showing that
she had in fact previously learned the ASL sign. Moreover, the
Gardners began to realize that rewarding particular signs with
food and tickles was actually interfering with the intended result
of conversational sign language. They changed their strategy so
that food and meal times were never juxtaposed with instruction
times. In addition, they stopped the tickle rewards during
instruction because these generally resulted in laughing
breakdowns. Instead, they set up a conversational environment that
evoked communication, without the use of rewards for specific
actions. For researchers to consider that Washoe had learned a
sign, she had to use it spontaneously and appropriately for 14
consecutive days. These signs were then further tested using a
double-blind vocabulary test. This test demonstrated 1) "that
the chimpanzee subjects could communicate information under
conditions in which the only source of information available to a
human observer was the signing of the chimpanzee;" 2) "that
independent observers agreed with each other;" and 3) "that
the chimpanzees used the signs to refer to natural language
categories-that the sign DOG could refer to any dog, FLOWER to any
flower, SHOE to any shoe." Washoe and her mates were able to
combine the hundreds of signs that they learned into novel
combinations (that they had never been taught, but rather created
themselves) with different meanings. For instance, when Washoe's
mate Moja didn't know the word for "thermos", Moja
referred to it as a "METAL CUP DRINK"; however, whether
or not Washoe's combinations constitute genuine inventive language
is controversial, as Herbert S. Terrace contended by concluding
that seeming sign combinations did not stand for a single item,
but rather were three individual signs. Taking the thermos
example, rather than METAL CUP DRINK being a composite meaning
thermos, it could be that Washoe was indicating there was an item
of metal (METAL), one shaped like a cup (CUP), and that could be
drunk out of (DRINK). One of Washoe's caretakers was pregnant and
missed work for many weeks after she miscarried. Roger Fouts
recounts the following situation: People who should be there for
her and aren't are often given the cold shoulder-her way of
informing them that she's miffed at them. Washoe greeted Kat [the
caretaker] in just this way when she finally returned to work with
the chimps. Kat made her apologies to Washoe, then decided to tell
her the truth, signing "MY BABY DIED". Washoe stared at
her, then looked down. She finally peered into Kat's eyes again
and carefully signed "CRY", touching her cheek and
drawing her finger down the path a tear would make on a human
(Chimpanzees don't shed tears). Kat later remarked that one sign
told her more about Washoe and her mental capabilities than all
her longer, grammatically perfect sentences. Washoe herself lost
two children: one baby died shortly after birth of a heart defect,
the other baby, Sequoyah, died of a staph infection at two months
of age. When Washoe was shown an image of herself in the mirror,
and asked what she was seeing, she replied: "Me, Washoe".
Primate expert Jane Goodall, who has studied and lived with
chimpanzees for decades, believes that this might indicate some
level of self-awareness. Washoe appeared to experience an identity
crisis when she was first introduced to other chimpanzees, seeming
shocked to learn that she was not human. She gradually came to
enjoy associating with other chimps. Washoe enjoyed playing
pretend with her dolls, which she would bathe and talk to and
would act out imaginary scenarios. She also spent time brushing
her teeth, painting and taking tea parties. When new students came
to work with Washoe, she would slow down her rate of signing for
novice speakers of sign language, which had a humbling effect on
many of them. It generally appears that Washoe could express
anything she was thinking, i.e. cognition rather than language
seemed to be the limiting factor. Washoe was moved to Central
Washington University in 1980. On October 30, 2007, officials from
the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute on the CWU campus
announced that she had died at the age of 42. Her burial details
are not publicly disclosed. #Washoe #WashoeChimpanzee

The wreck has been the focus of intense interest since its discovery and has been visited by numerous expeditions, including salvage operations which have controversially recovered thousands of items which have been conserved and put on public display. Over the years after her sinking, many impractical, expensive and often physically impossible schemes have been put forward to raise Titanic from her resting place. They have included ideas such as filling the wreck with ping-pong balls, injecting it with 180,000 tons of Vaseline, or using half a million tons of liquid nitrogen to encase it inside a giant iceberg that would float back to the surface. However, the wreck is far too fragile to be raised and is now protected by a UNESCO convention. RMS Titanic sank in the early morning of 15 April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean, four days into the ship's maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The largest passenger liner in service at the time, Titanic had an estimated 2,224 people on board when she struck an iceberg at around 23:40 (ship's time) on Sunday, 14 April 1912. Her sinking two hours and forty minutes later at 02:20 (ship's time; 05:18 GMT) on Monday, 15 April, resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, which made it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.

Of Aviation: Flight Airspeed Records: -- The SR-71 Blackbird sets
(and holds) the record for flying from New York to London in the
time of 1 hour, 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds at a speed of
1,435.587 miles per hour (2,310.353 km/h). The Lockheed SR-71
Blackbird is a long-range, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance
aircraft that was operated by the United States Air Force. It was
developed as a black project from the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance
aircraft in the 1960s by Lockheed and its Skunk Works division.
American aerospace engineer Clarence "Kelly" Johnson was
responsible for many of the design's innovative concepts. During
aerial reconnaissance missions, the SR-71 operated at high speeds
and altitudes to allow it to outrace threats. If a surface-to-air
missile launch were detected, the standard evasive action was
simply to accelerate and outfly the missile. The SR-71 was one of
the first aircraft to be designed with a reduced radar
cross-section. The SR-71 served with the U.S. Air Force from 1964
to 1998. A total of 32 aircraft were built; 12 were lost in
accidents, but none were lost to enemy action. The SR-71 has been
given several nicknames, including "Blackbird" and
"Habu". Since 1976, it has held the world record for the
fastest air-breathing manned aircraft, a record previously held by
the related Lockheed YF-12. On Sale Until Midnight Tonight PT!

(KE007/KAL007): -- Korean Air Lines Flight 007 is shot down by a
Russian fighter jet while on route from New York to Seoul, killing
all 269 persons on board, including U.S. Congressman Lawrence
McDonald of Georgia. The Boeing 747 reportedly strayed 100 miles
off course over secret Soviet Russian military installations on
the Kamchatka Peninsula and Sakhalin Island. It crashed in the Sea
of Japan. Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (also known as KAL007 and
KE007) was a scheduled Korean Air Lines flight from New York City
to Seoul via Anchorage, Alaska. On 1 September 1983, the South
Korean airliner serving the flight was shot down by a Soviet Su-15
interceptor. The Boeing 747 airliner was en route from Anchorage
to Seoul, but deviated from its original planned route and flew
through Soviet prohibited airspace about the time of a U.S. aerial
reconnaissance mission. The Soviet Air Forces treated the
unidentified aircraft as an intruding U.S. spy plane, and
proceeded to destroy it with air-to-air missiles, after firing
warning shots which were likely not seen by the KAL pilots. The
Korean airliner eventually crashed in the sea near Moneron Island
west of Sakhalin in the Sea of Japan. All 269 passengers and crew
aboard were killed, including Lawrence Patton McDonald, cousin of
General George S. Patton, a Representative from Georgia in the
United States House Of Representatives, and the second president
of the John Birch Society, a self-described conservative advocacy
group supporting anti-communism and limited government that has
been described as a radical right and far-right organization.
McDonald's radical right anti-communist credentials gave rise to a
number of conspiracy theories regarding the airliner shoot-down;
the subject of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 Alternative Theories
concerns the various and ongoing controversy and theories put
forward regarding the shooting down of plane. Many of these are
based on the suppression of evidence such as the flight data
recorders, unexplained details such as the role of a USAF RC-135
surveillance aircraft nearby the shoot-down, or merely Cold War
disinformation and propaganda. The Soviets found the wreckage
under the sea on September 15, and found the flight recorders in
October, but this information was kept secret until 1993. The
Soviet Union initially denied knowledge of the incident, but later
admitted shooting down the aircraft, claiming that it was on a
MASINT spy mission. The Politburo of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union said it was a deliberate provocation by the United
States to probe the Soviet Union's military preparedness, or even
to provoke a war. The White House accused the Soviet Union of
obstructing search and rescue operations. The Soviet Armed Forces
suppressed evidence sought by the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) investigation, such as the flight recorders,
which were released eight years later, after the Dissolution Of
The Soviet Union. The incident was one of the most tense moments
of the Cold War and resulted in an escalation of anti-Soviet
sentiment, particularly in the United States. As a result of the
incident, the United States altered tracking procedures for
aircraft departing from Alaska. The interface of the autopilot
used on airliners was redesigned to make it more ergonomic. In
addition, the incident was one of the most important events that
prompted the Reagan administration to allow worldwide access to
the United States Global Positioning System (GPS). On Sale Until

decoration in the Kingdom of Prussia, and later in the German
Empire (1871-1918) and Nazi Germany (1933-1945). It was
established by King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia in March 1813
backdated to the birthday of his late wife Queen Louise on 10
March 1813 during the Napoleonic Wars (EK 1813). Louise was the
first person to receive this decoration (posthumous). The
recommissioned Iron Cross was also awarded during the
Franco-Prussian War (EK 1870), World War I (EK 1914), and World
War II (EK 1939, re-introduced with a swastika added in the
center). The Iron Cross was normally a military decoration only,
though there were instances of it being awarded to civilians for
performing military functions. Two examples of this were civilian
test pilots Hanna Reitsch who was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd Class
and 1st Class and Melitta Schenk Graefin von Stauffenberg, who was
awarded the Iron Cross 2nd Class, for their actions as pilots
during World War II. The design of the cross symbol was black with
a white or silver outline, was ultimately derived from the cross
pattee of the Teutonic Order, used by knights on occasions from
the 13th century. The Prussian Army black cross pattee was also
used as the symbol of the succeeding German Army from 1871 to
March/April 1918, when it was replaced by the Balkenkreuz. In
1956, it was re-introduced as the symbol of the Bundeswehr, the
modern German armed forces. On Sale Until Midnight Tonight PT!

September 1, 1904: #BOTD: Karl Ernst, SA
Gruppenfuhrer who from March 1933 on was the SA Commander in
Berlin, who prior to joining the Nazi Party had been a hotel
bellhop and a bouncer at gay nightclubs, alleged to have started
the Reichstag Fire, one of the chief participants in the
extrajudicial execution of Red Front Fighter Albrecht Hohler and
who was himself extrajudicially executed in the Night of the Long
Knives by firing squad six weeks after Hitler served as best man
at his wedding, either because he knew too much about the
Reichstag Fire, or because he was a "Pink Nazi" (a
closet homosexual), or both (d. June 30, 1934) is #born in Berlin,
Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, the son of a cavalryman. It has
been suggested that it was he who, with a small party of
stormtroopers, passed through a passage from the Palace of the
President of the Reichstag, and set the Reichstag building on fire
on the night of February 27, 1933, rather than Marinus van der
Lubbe, the young Dutch communist who convicted and executed for
setting the fire. There is evidence indirectly to substantiate
this: Gisevius at Nuremberg implicated Goebbels in planning the
fire, Rudolph Diels stated that Goering knew how the fire was to
be started, and General Franz Halder stated that he had heard
Goering claim responsibility for the fire. On 30 June 1934, Ernst
had just married, and was in Bremen on his way to Madeira to
honeymoon with his new wife. SA Leader Ernst Roehm, whose inner
circle included Ernst, had repeatedly called for a "second
revolution" that would introduce socialism into the Reich and
banish the old Conservative forces of business and government.
Fearing the socialistic tendencies of the SA, along with Roehm's
ambition to absorb the Reichswehr into the SA, conservative
elements in the German Army and Kriegsmarine pressed for an
elimination of SA power. Adolf Hitler-who had served as Ernst's
best man at his wedding six weeks earlier-undertook a purge of the

The Armenian Genocide Documentary MP4 Video Download DVD
September 1, 1874: #BOTD: Talaat Pasha
(Talat Pasha), Vizir of the Ottoman Empire, chief architect of the
Armenian Genocide, politician and convicted war criminal who
served as the de facto leader of the Ottoman Empire from 1913 to
1918, chairman of the Union and Progress Party, which operated a
one-party dictatorship in the Empire; Grand Vizier (Prime
Minister) of the Empire during World War I, the main organizer and
perpetrator of the Armenian genocide and other ethnic cleansings
during his time as Minister of Interior Affairs (d. March 15,
1921) is #born Mehmed Talaat in Kircaali (Kardzhali), Adrianople
(Edirne) Vilayet, Ottoman Empire (modern Bulgaria) into a
middle-class family of Romani (Gypsie), Turkish, and Pomak
(Bulgarian-speaking Muslims inhabiting northwestern Turkey,
Bulgaria and northeastern Greece) descent. Mehmed Talaat grew up
to despise Sultan Abdul Hamid II's autocracy. He was an early
member of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), a secret
revolutionary Young Turk organization, and over time became its
leader. After the CUP succeeded in restoring the constitution and
parliament in the 1908 Young Turk Revolution, Talaat was elected
as a deputy from Adrianople to the Chamber of Deputies and later
became Minister of the Interior. He played an important role in
the downfall of Abdul Hamid the next year during the 31 March
Incident by organizing a counter government. Multiple crises in
the Empire including the 31 March Incident, attacks on Rumelian
Muslims in the Balkan Wars, and the power struggle with the
Freedom and Accord Party made Talaat and the Unionists
disillusioned with multicultural Ottomanism and political
pluralism, turning them into hard-line authoritarian Turkish
nationalists. In 1913, Talaat and Ismail Enver carried out a coup
d'etat with Mahmud Sevket Pasha as a reluctant partner. With the
latter's assassination, an autocratic triumvirate of CUP Central
Committee members lead the Ottoman Empire, consisting of Talaat,
Enver, and Ahmed Cemal (known as the Three Pashas) of whom Talaat
was its civilian leader. Talaat and Enver were influential
bringing the Ottoman Empire into the First World War. During World
War I, he ordered on 24 April 1915 the arrest and deportation of
Armenian intellectuals in Constantinople (now Istanbul), most of
them being ultimately murdered, and on 30 May 1915 requested the
Temporary Law of Deportation; these events initiated the Armenian
genocide. He is widely considered the main perpetrator of the
genocide, and is thus held responsible for the death of around 1
million Armenians. In a move that established total Unionist
control over the Ottoman government, Talaat Pasha became Grand
Vizier in 1917, and introduced many social reforms. Talaat
personally negotiated the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with the
Bolsheviks, regaining parts of Eastern Anatolia which were
occupied by Russia since 1878, and won the race to Baku on the
Caucasus front. However breakthroughs by the Allies in the
Macedonia and Palestine fronts meant defeat for the Ottomans and
the downfall of the CUP. On the night of 2-3 November 1918, Talaat
Pasha and other members of the CUP's central committee fled the
Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Special Military Tribunal convicted
Talaat and sentenced him to death in absentia for subverting the
constitution, profiteering from the war, and organizing massacres
against Greeks and Armenians. Exiled in Berlin, he supported the
Turkish Nationalists led by Mustafa Kemal Pasha (Ataturk) in
Turkey's War of Independence. Talaat Pasha was duly assassinated
and died in Berlin, Germany by a 23-year-old Armenian, Soghomon
Tehlirian, a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, as
part of Operation Nemesis. Operation Nemesis was a program to
assassinate both Ottoman perpetrators of the Armenian genocide and
officials of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic most responsible
for the massacre of Armenians during the September Days of 1918 in
Baku. Masterminded by Shahan Natalie, Armen Garo, and Aaron
Sachaklian, it was named after the Greek goddess of divine
retribution, Nemesis. Between 1920 and 1922, a clandestine cell of
the Armenian Revolutionary Federation carried out seven killings,
the best-known being the assassination of Talaat Pasha, the main
orchestrator of the Armenian genocide. Initially, Talaat's friends
hoped he could be buried in Anatolia, but neither the Ottoman
government in Constantinople nor the Turkish nationalist movement
in Ankara wanted the body; it would be a political liability to
associate themselves with the man considered the worst criminal of
World War I. Accordingly, he was buried in the Alter
St.-Matthaus-Kirchhof (Old St. Matthew's Churchyard) in
Schoneberg, Berlin in a well-attended ceremony on March 19. At
11:00 a.m., prayers led by the imam of the Turkish embassy, Sukri
Bey, were held at Talaat's apartment. Afterwards, a large
procession accompanied the coffin to the cemetery. Many prominent
Germans paid their respects, including former foreign ministers
Richard von Kuhlmann and Arthur Zimmermann, along with the former
head of Deutsche Bank, the ex-director of the Baghdad railway,
several military personnel who had served in the Ottoman Empire
during the war and August von Platen-Hallermunde, attending on
behalf of the exiled Kaiser Wilhelm II. The German foreign office
sent a wreath with a ribbon saying, "To a great statesman and
a faithful friend." Bahaeddin Sakir, a leading member of the
secret Committee Of Union And Progress (CUP) that ruled the
Ottoman Empire that committed the genocides against the Armenian,
Greek, and Assyrian peoples as part of a broader policy of ethnic
erasure during the late Ottoman period, read a funeral oration,
barely able to maintain his composure, while the coffin was
lowered into the grave, covered in an Ottoman flag. Sakir asserted
the assassination was "the consequence of imperialist
politics against the Islamic nations". In 1922, the Kemalist
government rescinded Talaat's conviction as a war criminal during
The Istanbul Trials Of 1919-1920, and then a house and a martyr's
pension was granted to Talaat's family with a law passed by the
Grand National Assembly in 1926. During World War II, at the
request of the Prime Minister of Turkey, Sukru Saracoglu, Talaat's
remains were disinterred from Germany and transported to Turkey,
where he received a state funeral on February 25, 1943, attended
by German ambassador Franz von Papen, Ahmet Emin Yalman, and
Saracoglu. With this gesture, Adolf Hitler hoped to secure Turkish
support for the Axis. Talaat's friend Huseyin Cahit (Yalcin) gave
the funeral oration as he was buried at The Monument Of Liberty in
the Sisli-Mecidiyekoy district of Istanbul, Turkey, originally
dedicated to those who died during The 31 March Incident, an April
1909 counterrevolutionary uprising in the Ottoman Empire against
the CUP. His return to Turkey was welcomed by Turkish society. On

Hansel And Gretel (1954) Engelbert Humperdinck Opera DVD MP4 USB
Drive
September 1, 1854: #BOTD: #HBD! Engelbert
Humperdinck, German playwright, composer and educator (d. 1921) is
#born at Siegburg in the Rhine Province. After receiving piano
lessons, he produced his first composition at the age of seven.
His first attempts at works for the stage were two singspiele
written when he was 13. His parents disapproved of his plans for a
career in music and encouraged him to study architecture.
Nevertheless, he began taking music classes under Ferdinand Hiller
and Isidor Seiss at the Cologne Conservatory in 1872. In 1876, he
won a scholarship that enabled him to go to Munich, where he
studied with Franz Lachner and later with Josef Rheinberger. In
1879, he won the first Mendelssohn Award given by the Mendelssohn
Stiftung (foundation) in Berlin. He went to Italy and became
acquainted with Richard Wagner in Naples. Wagner invited him to
join him in Bayreuth, and during 1880 and 1881 Humperdinck
assisted in the production of Parsifal. He also served as music
tutor to Wagner's son, Siegfried. After winning another prize,
Humperdinck traveled through Italy, France, and Spain and spent
two years teaching at the Gran Teatre del Liceu Conservatory in
Barcelona. In 1887, he returned to Cologne. He was appointed
professor at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt in 1890 and also
teacher of harmony at Julius Stockhausen's Vocal School. By this
time he had composed several works for chorus and a Humoreske for
small orchestra, which enjoyed a vogue in Germany. He is best
known for his opera Hansel and Gretel. He first composed four
songs to accompany a puppet show his nieces were giving at home.
Then, using a libretto by his sister Adelheid Wette rather loosely
based on the version of the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, he
composed a singspiel of 16 songs with piano accompaniment and
connecting dialogue. By January 1891 he had begun working on a
complete orchestration. The opera premiered in Weimar on 23
December 1893, under the baton of Richard Strauss. With its highly
original synthesis of Wagnerian techniques and traditional German
folk songs, Hansel and Gretel was an instant and overwhelming
success. Hansel and Gretel has always been Humperdinck's most
popular work. In 1923 the Royal Opera House (London) chose it for
their first complete radio opera broadcast. Eight years later, it
was the first opera transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera
in New York City. Engelbert Humperdinck died of a heart attack at
the age of 67 in Berlin, Germany. He is buried at the
Sudwestkirchhof in Stahnsdorf near Berlin. The Berlin State Opera
performed Hansel and Gretel in his memory a few weeks later. On

Battle Of Jonesborough: -- Due to the Union success at The Battle
Of Jonesborough (modern name Jonesboro) led by General William T.
Sherman, who had launched an assault on Atlanta, the Confederate
Army General John Bell Hood orders the evacuation of Atlanta,
ending a four-month siege by General Sherman. Two Union armies,
the Army Of The Tennessee and the Army of the Cumberland, led by
Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman, maneuvered to draw the Army of
Tennessee (led by John Bell Hood) away from their defenses at
Atlanta, Georgia, where it could be destroyed. Although Hood's
army was not destroyed, the city of Atlanta was abandoned and then
occupied by Union troops for the rest of the war, resulting in The
Fall Of Atlanta, which had far-reaching political as well as
military effects on the course of the war. The Battle Of Atlanta
was a battle of the Atlanta Campaign fought during the American
Civil War on July 22, 1864, just southeast of Atlanta, Georgia.
Continuing their summer campaign to seize the important rail and
supply center of Atlanta, Union forces commanded by William
Tecumseh Sherman overwhelmed and defeated Confederate forces
defending the city under John Bell Hood. Union Maj. Gen. James B.
McPherson was killed during the battle. Despite the implication of
finality in its name, the battle occurred midway through the
campaign, and the city did not fall until September 2, 1864, after
a Union siege and various attempts to seize railroads and supply
lines leading to Atlanta. After taking the city, Sherman's troops
headed south-southeastward toward Milledgeville, the state
capital, and on to Savannah with the March to the Sea. On Sale

September 1, 1878: #BOTD: J. F. C.
Fuller, nicknamed "Boney", senior British Army officer,
military historian, strategist, fascist and occultist, notable as
an early theorist of modern armoured warfare, including
categorizing principles of warfare, nazi sympathizer and apologist
(d. February 10, 1966) is #born John Frederick Charles Fuller in
Chichester, West Sussex, the son of an Anglican clergyman. With 45
books and many articles, Major-General John Frederick Charles
Fuller CB (The Most Honourable Order Of The Bath, of which a
ceremonial bath was an elecment of initiation) CBE (Commander Of
The Most Excellent Order Of The British Empire) DSO (Distinguished
Service Order) was a highly prolific author whose ideas reached
army officers and the interested public. He explored the business
of fighting, in terms of the relationship between warfare and
social, political, and economic factors in the civilian sector.
Fuller emphasized the potential of new weapons, especially tanks
and aircraft, to stun a surprised enemy psychologically. Fuller
was highly controversial in British politics because of his
support for the organized fascist movement. He was also an
occultist and Thelemite who wrote a number of works on esotericism
and mysticism. On April 20, 1939 Fuller was an honoured guest at
Hitler's 50th birthday parade, watching as "for three hours a
completely mechanised and motorised army roared past the Fuhrer."
Afterwards Hitler asked, "I hope you were pleased with your
children?" Fuller replied, "Your Excellency, they have
grown up so quickly that I no longer recognise them." During
the Second World War, 1939-1945, Fuller was under suspicion for
his Nazi sympathies. He continued to speak out in favour of a
peaceful settlement with Germany. Alan Brooke (in his war diaries,
p. 201) comments that "the Director of Security called on him
to discuss Boney Fuller and his Nazi activities", but Brooke
commented that he did not think Fuller "had any unpatriotic
intentions". Although he was not interned or arrested, he was
the only officer of his rank not invited to return to service
during the war. There was some suspicion that he was not
incarcerated in May 1940 along with other leading officials of the
BUF because of his association with General Edmund Ironside and
other senior officers. Mosley himself admitted to "a little
puzzlement" as to why Fuller had not been imprisoned. Fuller
spent his last years believing that the wrong side had won the
Second World War. He most fully announced that thesis in the 1961
edition of The Reformation of War. There, he announced his belief
that Hitler was the saviour of the West against the Soviet Union
and denounced Churchill and Roosevelt for being too stupid to see
so : / . J. F. C. Fuller died aged 87 in Falmouth, Cornwall,
England. His burial place is not publicly disclosed. On Sale Until

September 1, 1922: #BOTD: #HBD! Yvonne De
Carlo, nicknamed Peggy, Canadian-American actress, dancer, singer
and beauty (d. January 8, 2007) is #born Margaret Yvonne Kao
Middleton at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada. A brunette with blue-grey eyes, she became an
internationally famous Hollywood film star in the 1940s and 1950s,
made several recordings, and later acted on television and stage.
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, De Carlo was raised in the
home of her Presbyterian maternal grandparents. Her mother
enrolled her in a local dance school when she was three. By the
early 1940s, she and her mother had moved to Los Angeles, where De
Carlo participated in beauty contests and worked as a dancer in
nightclubs. She began working in motion pictures in 1941, in short
subjects. She sang "The Lamp of Memory" in a
three-minute Soundies musical, and worked briefly at Columbia
Pictures. In 1942, she signed a three-year contract with Paramount
Pictures, where she was given uncredited bit parts in important
films and was intended to replace Dorothy Lamour. Her first lead
was for independent producer E.B. Derr in the James Fenimore
Cooper adventure Deerslayer (1943, ultimately released by Republic
Pictures). She obtained her breakthrough role in Salome, Where She
Danced (1945), a Universal Pictures release produced by Walter
Wanger, who described her as "the most beautiful girl in the
world." The film's publicity and success turned her into a
star, and she signed a five-year contract with Universal. From
then on, Universal starred her in its lavish Technicolor
productions, such as Frontier Gal (1945), Song of Scheherazade
(1947), and Slave Girl (1947). Cameramen voted her "Queen of
Technicolor" three years in a row. Tired of being typecast as
exotic women, she made her first serious dramatic performances in
two film noirs, Brute Force (1947) and Criss Cross (1949). The
first American film star to visit Israel, De Carlo received
further recognition as an actress for her work in the British
comedies Hotel Sahara (1951) and The Captain's Paradise (1953).
Her career reached its peak when eminent producer-director Cecil
B. DeMille cast her as Moses' Midianite wife, Sephora, her most
prominent role, in his biblical epic The Ten Commandments (1956),
which was immensely successful at the box office and remains an
annual tradition on television. Her success continued with
starring roles in Flame of the Islands (1956), Death of a
Scoundrel (1956), Band of Angels (1957), and The Sword and the
Cross (1958), in which she portrayed Mary Magdalene. She also
accepted supporting roles in McLintock! (1963) and A Global Affair
(1964). She gained a new generation of fans as a star of the CBS
sitcom The Munsters (1964-1966), playing Herman Munster's
glamorous vampire wife, Lily, a role she reprised in the feature
film Munster, Go Home! (1966) and the television film The
Munsters' Revenge (1981). In 1971, she played Carlotta Campion and
introduced the popular song "I'm Still Here" in the
Broadway production of the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies.
Yvonne, her best-selling autobiography, was published in 1987. A
stroke survivor, De Carlo died of heart failure aged 84 at The
Motion Picture And Television Fund's home in Woodland Hills, Los
Angeles, California. Her remains were cremated; the final
disposition of her ashes are not publcly disclosed other than that
they were given to family or friend(s). She was awarded two stars
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to motion
pictures and television. On Sale Until Midnight Tonight PT!
