November 22: (2021) Solar Zodiacal
Transits: -- Sagittarius (Latin: "Archer"), the ninth
astrological sign in the Zodiac, is entered by the Earth's Sun,
which will transit the sign in 2021 until December 22, according
to the tropical zodiacal system. Sagittarius is represented by the
symbol of a bow and arrow. The ruler of the sign of Sagittarius is
Jupiter; traditionally the South Node of The Moon, in the modern
era Chiron, are in their exaltation; Mercury is in its detriment;
traditionally the North Node of The Moon, and in the modern era
Ceres, are in their fall. Sagittarius is one of the triplicity of
astrological signs of the element of fire, and as such a positive
sign, it is an active, yang, masculine sign as one of the six
odd-numbered signs of the zodiac - Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra,
Sagittarius, or Aquarius - all signs which constitute the fire and
air triplicities. Sagittarius is one of the four mutable
astrological signs, signs assigned to the end of one of the four
seasons, and as such, Sagittarius marks the end of Autumn in the
northern hemisphere, and the end of Spring in the southern
hemisphere. Mutable signs are associated with adaptability,
flexibility and sympathy. These signs mediate change and change
their modes of expression frequently in order to meet this end,
and they are often described as being diplomatic and assisting
others through transitions. On the other hand, due to their
dualistic behavior, they can often be inconsistent, uncommitted
and come off as unreliable. Sagittarius spans 240 dg to 270 dg of
celestial longitude. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits
this area on average between November 22 and December 22 in 2021.
Greek mythology associates Sagittarius with centaurs, the wild
half human and half horse creatures of Greek mythology.
Sagittarious is most especially associated with the centaur
Chrion, great healer, astrologer, respected oracle and archer,
said to be the first among centaurs and highly revered as a
teacher and tutor. Among his pupils were many of the great Greek
warrior and folk culture heroes: Asclepius, Aristaeus, Ajax,
Aeneas, Actaeon, Caeneus, Theseus, Achilles, Jason, Peleus,
Telamon, Perseus, sometimes Heracles, Oileus, and in one Byzantine
tradition, even Dionysus. Homer said of Chiron that he was the
"wisest and justest of all the centaurs". The centaur
Chiron, therefore, and accordingly the sign of Sagittarius,
represents the disciplined employment of the desire nature towards
the aims of the higher intelligence that governs its actions. On

November 22, 1497: The Age Of Discovery
(The Age Of Exploration): The Portuguese Discovery Of The Sea
Route To India: -- Vasco da Gama, Portuguese explorer who would
ultimately become 1st Count of Vidigueira, Viceroy of India (1460s
- December 24, 1524), leading a fleet of four ships with a
displacement of 100 tons and a crew of 170 men from Lisbon that
had set sail on July 8, 1497, by order of Edward, King Of
Portugal, on the first direct European voyage to India, becomes
the first to sail round the Cape of Good Hope. Members of the
expedition were almost killed in a grueling series of storms while
sailing here. The travel map was prepared with the help of an
experienced Portuguese navigator and explorer, Bartolomeu Dias,
who became the discoverer of the Cape of Good Hope, and was
convinced that after having rounded the Cape, it would be possible
to reach the Indian Ocean. In 1488 Dias first opened and mapped
this Cape, and named it the Cape of Storms; later it was renamed
the Cape of Good Hope King Of Portugal Joao II, and on November
22, 1497, Vasco da Gama first rounded that Cape; members of the
expedition were almost killed in a grueling series of storms while
sailing there. The distance traveled in the journey around Africa
to India and back was greater than the length of the equator, and
the sum of the distances covered in the outward and return voyages
made this expedition the longest ocean voyage ever made until
then. His initial two-year voyage to India by way of Cape of Good
Hope (July 8, 1497 - May 20, 1498) was the first to link Europe
and Asia by an ocean route, connecting the Atlantic and the Indian
oceans and therefore, the West and the Orient. This is widely
considered a milestone in world history, as it marked the
beginning of a sea-based phase of global multiculturalism. Da
Gama's discovery of the sea route to India opened the way for an
age of global imperialism and enabled the Portuguese to establish
a long-lasting colonial empire along the way from Africa to Asia.
The violence and hostage taking employed by da Gama and those who
followed also assigned a brutal reputation to the Portuguese among
India's indigenous kingdoms that would set the pattern for western
colonialism in the Age of Exploration. Traveling the ocean route
allowed the Portuguese to avoid sailing across the highly disputed
Mediterranean and traversing the dangerous Arabian Peninsula. The
navigators included Portugal's most experienced, Pero de Alenquer,
Pedro Escobar, Joao de Coimbra, and Afonso Goncalves. It is not
known for certain how many people were in each ship's crew but
approximately 55 returned, and two ships were lost. Two of the
vessels were carracks, newly built for the voyage: Sao Gabriel,
commanded by Vasco da Gama, and Sao Rafael, commanded by Vasco's
brother Paulo da Gama, similar in dimensions to the Sao Gabriel;
the others were the caravel Sao Miguel (nicknamed Berrio),
slightly smaller than the carracks, which under the command of
Nicolau Coelhoa left the fleet under unclear circumstances and
returned to Lisbon, and the supply boat of unknown name, commanded
by Goncalo Nunes, destined to be scuttled in Mossel Bay (Sao Bras)
in South Africa. After decades of sailors trying to reach the
Indies, with thousands of lives and dozens of vessels lost in
shipwrecks and attacks, da Gama landed in Calicut on May 20, 1498,
after sailing around the Cape Of Good Hope and stopping at
Mozambique, Mombasa and Malindi. Unopposed access to the Indian
spice routes boosted the economy of the Portuguese Empire, which
was previously based along northern and coastal West Africa. The
main spices at first obtained from Southeast Asia were pepper and
cinnamon, but soon included other products, all new to Europe.
Portugal maintained a commercial monopoly of these commodities for
several decades. It was not until a century later that other
European powers, first the Dutch Republic and England, later
France and Denmark, were able to challenge Portugal's monopoly and
naval supremacy in the Cape Route. Da Gama ulimately led two of
the Portuguese India Armadas, the first and the fourth. The latter
was the largest and departed for India four years after his return
from the first one. For his contributions, in 1524 da Gama was
appointed Governor of India, with the title of Viceroy, and was
ennobled as Count of Vidigueira in 1519. He remains a leading
figure in the history of exploration, and homages worldwide have
celebrated his explorations and accomplishments. The Portuguese
national epic poem, Os Lusiadas, was written in his honour by Luis
de Camoes. In March 2016 thousands of artifacts and nautical
remains were recovered from the wreck of the ship Esmeralda, one
of da Gama's armada, found off the coast of Oman. On Sale @ 15%

Organized Crime: Piracy: The History Of Piracy: The Golden Age Of
Piracy (1650s-1730s): -- #DOTD: Blackbeard (Edward Teach,
alternatively spelled Edward Thatch), English pirate who operated
around the West Indies and the eastern coast of Britain's North
American colonies (b. c. 1680) #dies when is killed along with
several of his crew off the coast of North Carolina following a
ferocious and storied battle with a small force of soldiers and
sailors led by Lieutenant Robert Maynard. after a long and
prosperous career. It is believed he is buried at Coco Cay Island,
Ragged Island, Bahamas. Virginia Lt. Gov. Alexander Spotswood had
sent two sloops to put an end to him. The sailors encountered
Blackbeard and Lt. Robert Maynard killed him in the fight that
followed. Nothing is known about Blackbird's birth detail and
little is known about his early life, but he may have been a
sailor on privateer ships during Queen Anne's War before he
settled on the Bahamian island of New Providence, a base for
Captain Benjamin Hornigold, whose crew Teach joined around 1716.
Hornigold placed him in command of a sloop that he had captured,
and the two engaged in numerous acts of piracy. Their numbers were
boosted by the addition to their fleet of two more ships, one of
which was commanded by Stede Bonnet; but Hornigold retired from
piracy toward the end of 1717, taking two vessels with him. Teach
captured a French slave ship known as La Concorde, renamed her
Queen Anne's Revenge, equipped her with 40 guns, and crewed her
with over 300 men. He became a renowned pirate, his nickname
derived from his thick black beard and fearsome appearance; he was
reported to have tied lit fuses (slow matches) under his hat to
frighten his enemies. He formed an alliance of pirates and
blockaded the port of Charles Town, South Carolina, ransoming the
port's inhabitants. He then ran Queen Anne's Revenge aground on a
sandbar near Beaufort, North Carolina. He parted company with
Bonnet and settled in Bath, North Carolina, also known as Bath
Town, where he accepted a royal pardon. But he was soon back at
sea, where he attracted the attention of Alexander Spotswood, the
Governor of Virginia. Spotswood arranged for a small party of
soldiers and sailors led by Lieutenant Robert Maynard to capture
the pirate, resulting in Blackbeard's death. Teach was a shrewd
and calculating leader who spurned the use of violence, relying
instead on his fearsome image to elicit the response that he
desired from those whom he robbed. He was romanticized after his
death and became the inspiration for an archetypal pirate in works
of fiction across many genres. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till

Gaulle Documentaries DVD, Video Download, USB Flash Drive
Today, November 22, 2025
November 22, 1890: #BOTD: #HBD! Charles
de Gaulle, French general, politician and statesman, 18th
President of France (d. November 9, 1970) is #born Charles Andre
Joseph Marie de Gaulle in Lille, France. Charles Andre Joseph
Marie de Gaulle was the leader of Free France (1940-1944) and the
head of the Provisional Government of the French Republic
(1944-1946). In 1958, he founded the Fifth Republic and was
elected as the President of France, a position he held until his
resignation in 1969. He was the dominant figure of France during
the Cold War era and his memory continues to influence French
politics. He was a decorated officer of the First World War,
wounded several times, and later taken prisoner at Verdun. During
the interwar period, he advocated mobile armoured divisions.
During the German invasion of May 1940, he led an armoured
division which counterattacked the invaders; he was then appointed
Under-Secretary for War. Refusing to accept his government's
armistice with Nazi Germany, de Gaulle exhorted the French
population to resist occupation and to continue the fight in his
Appeal of 18 June. He led a government in exile and the Free
French Forces against the Axis. Despite frosty relations with
Britain and especially the United States, he emerged as the
undisputed leader of the French resistance. He became Head of the
Provisional Government of the French Republic in June 1944, the
interim government of France following its Liberation. As early as
1944, de Gaulle introduced a dirigiste economic policy, which
included substantial state-directed control over a capitalist
economy which was followed by 30 years of unprecedented growth,
known as Les Trente Glorieuses ("The Glorious Thirty").
Frustrated by the return of petty partisanship in the new Fourth
Republic, he resigned in early 1946 but continued to be
politically active as founder of the Rassemblement du Peuple
Francais (RPF) party, which means "Rally of the French
People." He retired in the early 1950s and wrote a book about
his experience in the war titled War Memoirs, which quickly became
a classic of modern French literature. When the Algerian War was
ripping apart the unstable Fourth Republic, the National Assembly
brought him back to power during the May 1958 crisis. He founded
the Fifth Republic with a strong presidency, and he was elected to
continue in that role. He managed to keep France together while
taking steps to end the war, much to the anger of the Pieds-Noirs
(Frenchmen settled in Algeria) and the military; both previously
had supported his return to power to maintain colonial rule. He
granted independence to Algeria and progressively to other French
colonies. In the context of the Cold War, de Gaulle initiated his
"Politics of Grandeur," asserting that France as a major
power should not rely on other countries, such as the US, for its
national security and prosperity. To this end, de Gaulle pursued a
policy of "national independence" which led him to
withdraw from NATO's military integrated command and to launch an
independent nuclear development program that made France the
fourth nuclear power. He restored cordial Franco-German relations
to create a European counterweight between the Anglo-American and
Soviet spheres of influence through the signing of the Elysee
Treaty on January 22, 1963. However, he opposed any development of
a supranational Europe, favouring a Europe of sovereign nations.
De Gaulle openly criticised the US intervention in Vietnam and the
"exorbitant privilege" of the US dollar. In his later
years, his support for an independent Quebec and his two vetoes
against Britain's entry into the European Economic Community
generated considerable controversy. Although re-elected President
in 1965, in May 1968 he appeared likely to lose power amid
widespread protests by students and workers, but survived the
crisis with backing from the Army and won an election with an
increased majority in the Assembly. De Gaulle resigned in 1969
after losing a referendum in which he proposed more
decentralization. Charles de Gaulle died suddenly of an aneurysma
t his La Boisserie (the woodland glade) home in
Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, France around 7:40 p.m., despite
enjoying very robust health his entire life (except for a prostate
operation a few years earlier) less than two weeks before his 80th
birthday; he was watching the television evening news and playing
Solitaire when suddenly he pointed to his head and said, "I
feel a pain right here", then collapsed. His wife called the
doctor and the local priest, but by the time they arrived he had
died. His wife asked that she be allowed to inform her family
before the news was released. She was able to contact her daughter
in Paris quickly, but their son, who was in the navy, was
difficult to track down. President Georges Pompidou was not
informed until 4 AM the next day, and announced the general's
death on television some 18 hours after the event. He simply said,
"Le general de Gaulle est mort; la France est veuve."
("General de Gaulle is dead. France is a widow."). De
Gaulle had made arrangements that insisted his funeral be held at
Colombey, and that no presidents or ministers attend his funeral
only his Compagnons de la Liberation (Companions of the
Liberation, consisting of people, communities and military units
that were awarded the Ordre de la Liberation (Order of
Liberation), a very high honour second only after the Legion
d'Honneur (Legion of Honour),.awarded to heroes of the Liberation
of France during World War II). Despite his wishes, so many
foreign dignitaries wanted to honor de Gaulle that his successor
as president, Georges Pompidou, was forced to arrange a separate
memorial service at Notre-Dame Cathedral that was held at the same
time as his actual funeral. His funeral was held on November 12,
1970, and was the biggest such event in French history, with
hundreds of thousands of French people, many carrying blankets and
picnic baskets, and thousands of cars parked in the roads and
fields along the routes to both venues. On the day of the funeral,
there was national mourning, many entertainment and cultural
events were canceled, and schools and offices were closed.
Thousands of guests attended the event, included De Gaulle's
successor Georges Pompidou, U.S. president Richard Nixon, British
prime minister Edward Heath, UN secretary-general U Thant, Soviet
statesman Nikolai Podgorny, Italian president Giuseppe Saragat,
West German chancellor Willy Brandt and Queen Juliana of the
Netherlands. Special trains were sent to bring extra mourners to
the region, and the crowd was packed so tightly that those who
fainted had to be passed overhead toward first-aid stations at the
rear. The General was conveyed to the church of
Colombey-Les-Deux-Eglises in Champagne-Ardenne, France on an
armoured reconnaissance vehicle and carried to his grave, next to
his daughter Anne, by eight young men of Colombey. As he was
lowered into the churchyard burial ground, the bells of all the
churches in France tolled, starting from Notre Dame and spreading
out from there. De Gaulle specified that his tombstone bear the
simple inscription of his name and his years of birth and death.
Therefore, it simply states, "Charles de Gaulle, 1890-1970".
At the service, President Pompidou said, "de Gaulle gave
France her governing institutions, her independence and her place
in the world." Andre Malraux, the writer and intellectual who
served as his Minister of Culture, called him "a man of the
day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow." De Gaulle's
family turned the La Boisserie residence into a foundation. It
currently houses the Charles de Gaulle Museum. He died before his
Presidential memoirs were finished. Many French political parties
and figures claim the Gaullist legacy. De Gaulle was ranked as "Le
Plus Grand Francais de tous les temps" (the Greatest
Frenchman of All Time) by the French magazine L'OBS. On Sale @ 15%

Earl, American pioneer of modern transportation design,
coachbuilder (someone who manufactures bodies for
passenger-carrying vehicles), industrial and automotive designer
and business executive, initial head of design at General Motors,
the first top executive ever appointed in design of a major
corporation in American history, eventually becoming General
Motors vice president, pioneer of the use of freeform sketching
and hand sculpted clay models as automotive design techniques,
creator of the "concept car" as both a tool for the
design process and a clever marketing device, the wraparound
windshield, the hardtop sedan, factory two-tone paint, tailfins,
hidden headlamps, the "gunsight" hood ornament, electric
windows, wraparound bumpers and flush door handles (d. April 10,
1969) is #born Harley Jarvis Earl in Hollywood, California. Harley
Earl's 1938 Buick Y-Job was the first concept car (since all
experimental vehicles were called "X", Earl simply went
to the next letter in the alphabet to stand out, a practice still
used in the aircraft industry today), which had power-operated
hidden headlamps, a gunsight hood ornament, electric windows,
wraparound bumpers, flush door handles, and prefigured styling
cues used by Buick until the 1950s and the vertical waterfall
grille design still used by Buick today. He also started "Project
Opel", which eventually became the Chevrolet Corvette. During
World War II, he was an active contributor to the Allies' research
and development program in advancing the effectiveness of
camouflage. Earl began studies at Stanford University, but left
prematurely to work with, and learn from, his father at Earl
Automotive Works, a coachbuilding company founded in 1889 that
evolved from horse-drawn vehicles to custom bodies and customized
parts and accessories for automobiles. Earl began studies at
Stanford University, but left prematurely to work with, and learn
from, his father at Earl Automotive Works. By this time, the shop
was building custom bodies for Hollywood movie stars, including
Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and Tom Mix. Lawrence P. Fisher,
general manager of General Motors' Cadillac division, commissioned
Earl to design the 1927 LaSalle for Cadillac's companion marque.
The success of the LaSalle convinced General Motors president
Alfred P. Sloan to create the "Art and Color Section" of
General Motors, and to name Earl as its first director. Prior to
the establishment of the "Art and Color Section",
American automobile manufacturers did not assign any great
importance to the appearance of automobile bodies. Volume
manufacturers built bodies designed by engineers, guided only by
functionality and cost. Many luxury-car manufacturers, including
GM, did not make bodies at all, opting instead to ship chassis
assemblies to a coachbuilder of the buyer's choice. The executives
at General Motors at the time, including engineers, division
heads, and sales executives, viewed Earl's conceptual ideas as
flamboyant and unfounded. Earl struggled to legitimize his design
approach against the tradition- and production-oriented
executives. As head of the newly formed "Art and Color
Section" in 1927, he was initially referred to as one of the
"pretty picture boys", and his design studio as being
the "Beauty Parlor". In 1937, the "Art and Color
Section" was renamed the Styling Section. Sloan eventually
promoted Earl to vice president, making him, to the best of
Sloan's knowledge, the first styling person to be a VP at a large
corporation. After the early 1930s, Earl seldom drew sketches or
did design work himself, usually functioning as an overlord who
supervised GM stylists, although he would retain ultimate
authority over the styling department until his retirement in
1958. Harley Earl suffered a stroke and died in West Palm Beach,
Florida. He was 75 years old. His remains were cremated, and his
ashes were scattered at sea near West Palm Beach, Florida. He once
said in 1954, "My primary purpose for twenty-eight years has
been to lengthen and lower the American automobile, at times in
reality and always at least in appearance." The extremely low
and long American cars of the 1960s and 1970s show the extent to
which Earl influenced an entire industry and culture. On Sale @

is #born Hoagland Howard Carmichaelin Bloomington, Indiana. Around
1922, Carmichael first met Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke, a
cornetist and sometime pianist from Iowa who is one of the most
influential soloists of jazz music. The two became friends and
played music together, and around 1923, during a visit to Chicago,
Beiderbecke introduced Carmichael to Louis Armstrong, with whom
Carmichael would later collaborate, while Armstrong was playing
with Chicago-based King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band. Carmichael was
inspired by Beiderbecke's impressionistic and classical music
ideas, and Carmichael's first recorded song, initially titled
"Free Wheeling," was written for Beiderbecke, whose
band, the Wolverines, recorded it as "Riverboat Shuffle"
in 1924 for Gennett Records in Richmond, Indiana. The song became
a jazz staple. Carmichael went on to compose several hundred
songs, including fifty that achieved hit record status. He is best
known for composing the music for "Stardust", "Georgia
on My Mind" (lyrics by Stuart Gorrell), "The Nearness of
You", and "Heart and Soul" (in collaboration with
lyricist Frank Loesser), four of the most-recorded American songs
of all time. He also collaborated with lyricist Johnny Mercer on
"Lazybones" and "Skylark"; "In the Cool,
Cool, Cool of the Evening," with lyrics by Mercer, won the
Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1951. Carmichael also
appeared as a character actor and musical performer in fourteen
motion pictures, hosted three musical-variety radio programs,
performed on television, and wrote two autobiographies. Hoagy
Carmichael died of a heart attack at the Eisenhower Medical Center
in Rancho Mirage, California at age 82. His remains are buried in

November 22, 1935: Aviation: The History
Of Aviation: The History Of Transcontinental Flight: The History
Of Transpacific Flight: The History Of Airmail: -- Transpacific
airmail service begins as China Clipper (NC14716), one of the
largest airplanes of its time, the first of three Martin M-130
four-engine flying boats built for Pan American Airways used to
inaugurate the first commercial transpacific airmail service from
San Francisco to Manila in November 1935, takes off from Alameda,
California in an attempt to deliver the first airmail cargo across
the Pacific Ocean. Built at a cost of 417K USD by the Glenn L.
Martin Company in Baltimore, Maryland, China Clipper was delivered
to Pan Am on October 9, 1935. Although its inaugural flight plan
called for the China Clipper to fly over the San Francisco-Oakland
Bay Bridge (still under construction at the time), upon take-off
the pilot realized the plane would not clear the structure, and
was forced to fly narrowly under instead. 59 hours later, on
November 29, the airplane reached its destination, Manila, after
traveling via Honolulu, Midway Island, Wake Island, and Guam, and
delivered over 110,000 pieces of mail. The crew for this flight
included Edwin C. Musick as pilot and Fred Noonan as navigator.
The inauguration of ocean airmail service and commercial air
flight across the Pacific was a significant event for both
California and the world. Its departure point is California
Historical Landmark #968 and can be found in Naval Air Station
Alameda. The following year, Pan American Airways transpacific
commercial passenger service began with all three Martin M-130
flying boats: China Clipper (NC-14716) October 1935, Philippine
Clipper (NC-14715) November 1935, Hawaiian Clipper (NC-14714)
March 1936. All three had crashed by 1945. Hawaii Clipper departed
Guam on the last leg of the westbound journey with six passengers
and a crew of 9 at 11:39 local time on July 28, 1938. The last
radio contact was 3 hours 27 minutes later, when the aircraft
reported flying through layers of clouds and moderately rough air
565 miles from the Philippine coast. The US Army transport ship
USAT Meigs found an oil slick along the course of the lost
aircraft about 500 miles from Manila, took samples, and stood by
to investigate. Search for the plane was called off on August 5,
1938. Later tests on the oil samples collected by Meigs indicated
no connection with the aircraft. Hawaii Clipper was the first of
the initial three long-range flying boats to be lost. It was the
worst Pacific airline accident at the time. Some believe that the
Hawaii Clipper was hijacked by the Japanese military and taken to
Truk Lagoon in the Federated States of Micronesia where the
passengers and crew were executed, after which the Clipper was
taken to Japan to be reverse engineered. As of 2020, a group of
investigators, including former Naval Intelligence officers, have
traveled to Truk in search of evidence of this hijacking, and
continue to search for Hawaii Clipper. On the morning of January
21, 1943, Philippine Clipper ran into poor weather as it flew
north over California towards San Francisco. It carried 10
passengers on board, all U.S. naval officers among whom was Rear
Admiral Robert H. English, the commander of the U.S. Pacific
Submarine Fleet, the submarine component of the United States
Pacific Fleet. Heavy rain, strong winds, thick cloud cover, and
fog forced the captain to descend to a lower altitude. At 7:30 am,
the far off-course aircraft crashed into a mountain at about 2,500
ft (760 m), descending at an angle of 10_, whereupon it clipped a
number of trees before crashing, breaking up, and burning. Over a
week passed before the wreckage was located, and after it was
found, the area was cordoned off by soldiers to protect any
surviving classified military documents that may have been carried
aboard. The Civil Aeronautics Board investigated the crash and
decided the probable cause was pilot error. China Clipper remained
in Pan Am service until January 8, 1945, when it was destroyed in
a crash in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. Flight 161 had
started at Miami bound for Leopoldville in the Belgian Congo,
making its first stop to refuel at Puerto Rico before flying on to
Port-of-Spain. After one missed approach, on the second approach
to land it came down too low and hit the water at a high speed and
nose-down a mile-and-a-quarter short of its intended landing area.
The impact broke the hull in two which quickly flooded and sank.
Twenty-three passengers and crew were killed; there were seven
survivors including Captain C.A. Goyette, Pilot-in-Command for the
flight, and Captain L.W. Cramer, First Officer, who was flying the
plane from the left seat when it crashed. On Sale @ 15% Off

The Cairo Conference (Codename: Sextant): -- The Cairo Conference
begins as President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill, and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek of the
Republic Of China Chiang Kai-shek, meet to discuss the war in the
Pacific against Japan. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin did not attend
the conference as his meeting with Chiang could have caused
friction between the Soviet Union and Japan (The Soviet-Japanese
Neutrality Pact of 1941 was a five-year agreement of neutrality
between the two nations; in 1943 the Soviet Union was not yet at
war with Japan, whereas China, the U.K. and the U.S. were.) The
Cairo Conference occurred November 22-26, 1943 in Cairo, Egypt at
a residence of the American ambassador to Egypt, Alexander Kirk,
near the Giza Pyramid complex, about 8 miles from the city center
of Cairo itself. Two days later Stalin met with Roosevelt and
Churchill in Tehran, Iran for the Tehran Conference. The
Americans, not wanting the French to return to Indochina, had
offered Chiang Kai-Shek entire control of French Indochina, but
Chiang Kai-Shek publicly declined. The Cairo Conference resulted
in the Cairo Declaration, issued on November 27, 1943 and released
in a Cairo Communique through radio on December 1, 1943, stating
the Allies' intentions to continue deploying military force until
Japan's unconditional surrender. The main clauses of the Cairo
Declaration are: that the three great allies are fighting this war
to restrain and punish the aggression of Japan; they covet no gain
for themselves and won't involve themselves in territorial
expansion wars after the conflict; "Japan be stripped of all
the islands in the Pacific which she has seized or occupied since
the beginning of the First World War in 1914"; "all the
territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, including
Manchuria, Formosa, and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the
Republic Of China"; and Japan will also be expelled from all
other territories which she has taken by violence and greed and
that "in due course Korea shall become free and independent".

detonated the first hydrogen bomb during the Ivy Mike test of
November 1, 1952 on the small Pacific island of Elugelab at
Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands, the "Mike"
device was not a deliverable weapon, due to its physical size and
fusion fuel type (cryogenic liquid deuterium), and was intended as
a proof of concept experiment. The RDS-37 utilized a two-stage
hydrogen bomb process; phrases of the combination
"thermonuclear"/"fusion"/"hydrogen"
and "weapon"/"bomb"/"device" are
applied primarily to multi-stage devices, which allow large fusion
yields. These operate on the radiation implosion principle, and
are synonymous with the Teller-Ulam design, which relies on the
radiation implosion principle, using thermal X-rays released from
a fission nuclear primary to compress and ignite nuclear fusion in
a secondary. This is in contrast to the simpler design and usage
of nuclear fusion in boosted fission weapons, first tested on May
25, 1951 during The United States' Greenhouse Item nuclear test.
The RDS-37 weapon had a nominal yield of approximately 3 megatons;

22, 1963: United States Presidential Assassination Attempts And
Plots: United States Presidential Assassinations: The
Assassination Of John F. Kennedy: -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the
35th president of the United States, is assassinated at 12:30 p.m
CST on a Friday afternoon in Dallas, Texas, while riding in a
presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza. Kennedy was riding
with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally, and
Connally's wife Nellie when he was fatally shot. The State Funeral
Of U.S. President John F. Kennedy took place in Washington, D.C.,
during the three days that followed his assassination. Kennedy's
body was brought back to Washington after his assassination. Early
on November 23, six military pallbearers carried the flag-draped
coffin into the East Room of the White House, where he lay in
repose for 24 hours. Then, his flag-draped coffin was carried on a
horse-drawn caisson to the Capitol to lie in state. Throughout the
day and night, hundreds of thousands lined up to view the guarded
casket, with a quarter million passing through the rotunda during
the 18 hours of lying in state. Kennedy's funeral service was held
on November 25, at St. Matthew's Cathedral. The Requiem Mass was
led by Cardinal Richard Cushing. About 1,200 guests, including
representatives from over 90 countries, attended. After the
service, Kennedy was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in
Virginia beside an eternal flame memorial at his gravesite. Lee
Harvey Oswald, a former US Marine, defector to the Soviet Union
and shadowy agent of American intelligence organizations, among
them the CIA, was arrested for firing the gunshots from a nearby
building. Governor Connally was seriously wounded in the attack.
The motorcade rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where Kennedy
was pronounced dead about 30 minutes after the shooting; Connally
recovered. The Dallas Police Department arrested Oswald 70 minutes
after the initial shooting. Oswald was charged under Texas state
law with the murder of Kennedy and that of J. D. Tippit, a Dallas
police officer. At 11:21 a.m. November 24, 1963, as live
television cameras were covering his transfer from the city jail
to the county jail, Oswald was fatally shot in the basement of
Dallas Police Headquarters (then in the Dallas Municipal Building)
by Dallas nightclub operator Jack Ruby. Oswald was taken to
Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he soon died. Ruby was convicted
of Oswald's murder, though it was later overturned on appeal, and
Ruby died in prison in 1967 while awaiting a new trial. After a
10-month investigation, the Warren Commission concluded that
Oswald assassinated Kennedy, that Oswald had acted entirely alone,
and that Ruby had acted alone in killing Oswald. Kennedy was the
eighth and most recent US president to die in office, and the
fourth (following Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) to be
assassinated. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson automatically
became president upon Kennedy's death. The United States House
Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), agreed with the Warren
Commission that Oswald's three rifle shots caused the injuries
that Kennedy and Connally sustained. After analysis of a dictabelt
audio recording the HSCA concluded that Kennedy was likely
"assassinated as a result of a conspiracy". The
committee could not identify a second gunman or group involved in
the possible conspiracy, although the HSCA concluded that analysis
pointed to the existence of an additional gunshot and "a high
probability that two gunmen fired at [the] President".
Nevertheless, the U.S. Justice Department concluded active
investigations and stated "that no persuasive evidence can be
identified to support the theory of a conspiracy" in the
assassination. However, Kennedy's assassination is still the
subject of widespread debate. Polls conducted from 1966 to 2004
found that up to 80 percent of Americans suspected that there was
a plot or cover-up. John F. Kennedy was born John Fitzgerald
Kennedy in Brookline, Massachusetts. Known personally as "Jack"
Kennedy, commonly referred to by his initials JFK, John F. Kennedy
he served as President from January 1961 until his assassination.
John F. Kennedy served at the height of the Cold War, and much of
his presidency focused on managing relations with the Soviet
Union. A member of the Democratic Party, Kennedy represented the
state of Massachusetts in the United States House Of
Representatives and the United States Senate prior to becoming
president. Kennedy was born to Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and Rose
Kennedy. A member of the Kennedy family, he graduated from Harvard
University in 1940 before joining the U.S. Naval Reserve the
following year. During World War II, Kennedy commanded a series of
PT boats in the Pacific theater and earned the Navy and Marine
Corps Medal for his service. After the war, Kennedy represented
the 11th congressional district of Massachusetts in the United
States House Of Representatives from 1947 until 1953. He was
subsequently elected to the U.S. Senate and served as the junior
Senator from Massachusetts from 1953 until 1960. While serving in
the Senate, he published Profiles in Courage, which won the
Pulitzer Prize for Biography. In the 1960 presidential election,
Kennedy narrowly defeated Republican opponent Richard Nixon, who
was the incumbent Vice President. At age 43, he became the
youngest elected president as well as the first and only Roman
Catholic to occupy the office. Kennedy's time in office was marked
by high tensions with communist states in the Cold War. He
increased the number of American military advisers in South
Vietnam by a factor of 18 over President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In
April 1961, he authorized a failed joint-CIA attempt to overthrow
the Cuban government of Fidel Castro in the Bay Of Pigs Invasion.
He subsequently rejected Operation Northwoods plans by the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff to orchestrate false flag attacks on American soil
in order to gain public approval for a war against Cuba. In
October 1962, U.S. spy planes discovered that Soviet missile bases
had been deployed in Cuba; the resulting period of tensions,
termed the Cuban Missile Crisis, nearly resulted in the breakout
of a global thermonuclear conflict. Domestically, Kennedy presided
over the establishment of the Peace Corps and supported the civil
rights movement, but he was largely unsuccessful in passing his
New Frontier domestic policies. Kennedy continues to rank highly
in historians' polls of U.S. presidents and with the general
public. His average approval rating of 70% is the highest of any
president in Gallup's history of systematically measuring job
approval. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

November 22, 1967: Aesthetics: The
Performing Arts: Music: Music History: Music Of The United States:
Folk Music: Record Releases: -- Arlo Guthrie's satirical talking
blues song "Alice's Restaurant Massacree", commonly
known as "Alice's Restaurant", which describe events
that occur on the Thanksgiving Day holiday, is released the day
before Thanksgiving by Reprise Records (Warner Brothers). It is
the title track to singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie's 1967 debut
album Alice's Restaurant. The song is a deadpan protest against
the Vietnam War draft, in the form of a comically exaggerated but
largely true story from Guthrie's own life: while visiting
acquaintances in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, he is arrested and
convicted of dumping trash illegally, which later endangers his
suitability for the military draft. The title refers to a
restaurant owned by one of Guthrie's friends, artist Alice Brock;
although she is a minor character in the story, the restaurant
plays no role in it aside from being the subject of the chorus and
the impetus for Guthrie's visit. The song was an inspiration for
the 1969 film also named Alice's Restaurant, which took numerous
liberties with the story. The work has become Guthrie's signature
song and he has periodically re-released it with updated lyrics.
In 2017, it was selected for preservation in the National
Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being
"culturally, historically, or artistically significant".
It has become a Thanksgiving Day tradition for many classic rock
and adult album alternative radio stations to play the song each
Thanksgiving at precisely noon in each time zone as a Thanksgiving
tradition, as the events described in the song occur on this
holiday. On Thanksgiving Day 1965 (November 25, 1965), while in
Stockbridge, Massachusetts, during a break from his brief stint in
college, 18-year-old Guthrie was arrested for illegally dumping on
private property what he described as "a half-ton of garbage"
from the home of his friends, teachers Ray and Alice Brock, after
he discovered the local landfill was closed for the holiday.
Guthrie and his friend Richard Robbins appeared in court, pled
guilty to the charges, were levied a nominal fine and picked up
the garbage that weekend. This littering charge would soon serve
as the basis for Guthrie's most famous work, "Alice's
Restaurant Massacree", a talking blues song that lasts 18
minutes and 34 seconds in its original recorded version. Guthrie
has pointed out that this was also the exact length of one of the
infamous gaps in Richard Nixon's Watergate tapes, and that Nixon
owned a copy of the record. The Alice in the song is Alice Brock,
who had been a librarian at Arlo's boarding school in the town
before opening her restaurant. She later opened an art studio in
Provincetown, Massachusetts. The song lampoons the Vietnam War
draft. However, Guthrie has stated in multiple interviews that the
song is more an "anti-stupidity" song than an anti-war
song, adding that it is based on a true incident. In the song,
Guthrie is called up for a draft examination and rejected as unfit
for military service as a result of a criminal record consisting
solely of one conviction for the aforementioned littering. Alice
and her restaurant are the subjects of the refrain, but are
generally mentioned only incidentally in the story (early drafts
of the song explained that the restaurant was a place to hide from
the police). Though her presence is implied at certain points in
the story, Alice herself is described explicitly in the tale only
briefly when she bails Guthrie and a friend out of jail. On the
DVD commentary for the 1969 movie, Guthrie stated that the events
presented in the song all actually happened (others, such as the
arresting officer, William Obanhein, disputed some of the song's
details, but generally verified the truth of the overall story).
"Alice's Restaurant" was the song that earned Guthrie
his first recording contract, after counterculture radio host Bob
Fass began playing a tape recording of one of Guthrie's live
performances of the song repeatedly one night in 1967. A
performance at the Newport Folk Festival on July 17, 1967, was
also very well received. Soon afterward, Guthrie recorded the song
in front of a studio audience in New York City and released it as
side one of the album, Alice's Restaurant. By the end of the
decade, Guthrie had gone from playing coffee houses and small
venues to playing massive and prestigious venues such as Carnegie
Hall and the Woodstock Festival. For a short period after its
release in October 1967, "Alice's Restaurant" was
heavily played on U.S. college and counterculture radio stations.
It became a symbol of the late 1960s, and for many it defined an
attitude and lifestyle that were lived out across the country in
the ensuing years. Its leisurely finger-picking acoustic guitar
and rambling lyrics were widely memorized and played by irreverent
youth. Many stations in the United States have a Thanksgiving Day
tradition of playing "Alice's Restaurant". A 1969 film,
directed and co-written by Arthur Penn, was based on the true
story told in the song, but with the addition of a large number of
fictional scenes. This film, also called Alice's Restaurant,
featured Guthrie and several other figures in the song portraying
themselves. The part of his father Woody Guthrie, who had died in
1967, was played by actor Joseph Boley; Alice, who made a cameo
appearance as an extra, was also recast, with actress Pat Quinn in
the title role (Alice Brock later disowned the film's portrayal of
her). Despite its popularity, the song "Alice's Restaurant
Massacree" is not always featured on the setlist of any given
Guthrie performance. Since putting it back into his setlist in
1984, he has performed the song every ten years, stating in a 2014
interview that the Vietnam War had ended by the 1970s and that
everyone who was attending his concerts had likely already heard
the song anyway. So, after a brief period in the late 1960s and
early 1970s when he replaced the monologue with a fictional one
involving "multicolored rainbow roaches", he decided to
do it only on special occasions from that point forward. On Sale @

"The Beatles", popularly known as "The White
Album", on their own private record label Apple Records,
their ninth studio album and their only double album, on the fifth
anniversary of the the release of their second album as well as
the assassination of John F. Kennedy; an album itself that was,
through no fault of The Beatles, mixed up in the Manson Murders,
who referred to the latter as part of The Manson Family's plot to
instigate "Helter Skelter", a race war, something
Kennedy was trying to prevent during the civil strife of his
presidential administration. Its plain white sleeve contains no
graphics or text other than the band's name embossed, which was
intended as a direct contrast to the vivid cover artwork of the
band's previous LP Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The
Beatles is recognised for its fragmentary style and diverse range
of genres, including folk, British blues, ska, music hall and the
avant-garde. It has since been viewed by some critics as a
postmodern work, as well as among the greatest albums of all time.
Most of the songs on the album were written during March and April
1968 at a Transcendental Meditation course in Rishikesh, India.
There, the only western instrument available to the band was the
acoustic guitar; several of these songs remained acoustic on The
Beatles and were recorded solo, or only by part of the group. The
production aesthetic ensured that the album's sound was
scaled-down and less reliant on studio innovation than their
previous releases including 1966's Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967. The Beatles also broke with the
band's recent tradition of incorporating several musical styles in
one song by keeping each piece of music consistently faithful to a
select genre. At the end of May 1968, the Beatles returned to EMI
Studios in London to commence recording sessions that lasted until
mid-October. During these sessions, arguments broke out among the
foursome over creative differences and John Lennon's new partner,
Yoko Ono, whose constant presence subverted the Beatles' policy of
excluding wives and girlfriends from the studio. After a series of
various problems, including producer George Martin taking an
unannounced vacation and engineer Geoff Emerick suddenly quitting
during a session, Ringo Starr left the band for two weeks in
August. The same tensions continued throughout the following year
and led to the band's break-up. The Beatles received favourable
reviews from most music critics; detractors found its satirical
songs unimportant and apolitical amid the turbulent political and
social climate of 1968. It topped record charts in Britain and the
United States. No singles were issued in either territory, but
"Hey Jude" and "Revolution" originated from
the same recording sessions and were issued on a single in August,
1968. The album has been certified 24X platinum by the RIAA. On

November 22, 1977: Aviation: The History
Of Aviation: The History Of Civil Aviation: Inaugural Flights: --
British Airways inaugurates a regular London to New York City
supersonic Concorde service. Concorde was a British-French
turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner that was operated
from 1976 until 2003. It had a maximum speed over twice the speed
of sound at Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h at cruise
altitude), with seating for 92 to 128 passengers. First flown in
1969, Concorde entered service in 1976 and continued flying for
the next 27 years. It is one of only two supersonic transports to
have been operated commercially; the other is the Soviet-built
Tupolev Tu-144, which operated in passenger service from 1977 to
1978. Concorde was jointly developed and manufactured by Sud
Aviation (later Aerospatiale) and the British Aircraft Corporation
(BAC) under an Anglo-French treaty. Twenty aircraft were built,
including six prototypes and development aircraft. Air France (AF)
and British Airways (BA) were the only airlines to purchase and
fly Concorde. The aircraft was used mainly by wealthy passengers
who could afford to pay a high price in exchange for the
aircraft's speed and luxury service. For example, in 1997, the
round-trip ticket price from New York to London was 7,995 USD,
more than 30 times the cost of the cheapest option to fly this
route. The original program cost estimate of 70 million Pounds
Sterling met huge overruns and delays, with the program eventually
costing 1.3 billion Pounds Sterling. It was this extreme cost that
became the main factor in the production run being much smaller
than anticipated. Later, another factor which affected the
viability of all supersonic transport programmes was that
supersonic flight could only be used on ocean-crossing routes, to
prevent sonic boom disturbance over populated areas. With only
seven airframes each being operated by the British and French, the
per-unit cost was impossible to recoup, so the French and British
governments absorbed the development costs. British Airways and
Air France were able to operate Concorde at a profit, in spite of
very high maintenance costs, because the aircraft was able to
sustain a high ticket price. Among other destinations, Concorde
flew regular transatlantic flights from London's Heathrow Airport
and Paris's Charles de Gaulle Airport to John F. Kennedy
International Airport in New York, Washington Dulles International
Airport in Virginia, and Grantley Adams International Airport in
Barbados; it flew these routes in less than half the time of other
airliners. Concorde's name, meaning "harmony" or
"union", was chosen to reflect the co-operation on the
project between the United Kingdom and France. In the UK, any or
all of the type are known simply as Concorde, with no definite
article "the". Concorde won the 2006 Great British
Design Quest organised by the BBC and the Design Museum, beating
other well-known designs such as the BMC Mini, the miniskirt, the
Jaguar E-Type, the London Tube map and the Supermarine Spitfire.
The type was retired in 2003, three years after the crash of Air
France Flight 4590, in which all passengers and crew were killed.
The general downturn in the commercial aviation industry after the
September 11 attacks in 2001 and the end of maintenance support
for Concorde by Airbus (the successor company of both Aerospatiale
and BAC) also contributed. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till

Intrusions (Signal Hijackings): Television Signal Intrusions
(Television Signal Hijackings): Pirate Broadcasts: Television
Pirate Broadcasts: The Max Headroom Signal Intrusion (The Max
Headroom Signal Hijacking): -- Two Chicago television stations are
hijacked by an unknown pirate dressed as Max Headroom. The first
occurrence of the signal intrusion took place during
then-independent station WGN-TV (Channel 9)'s live telecast of its
primetime newscast, The Nine O'Clock News. During highlights from
the Chicago Bears' 30-10 home victory over the Detroit Lions that
afternoon in the sports report, the screen went black for 15
seconds, then returned with a person wearing a Max Headroom mask
and sunglasses, moving around and bobbing. His head was in front
of a sheet of moving corrugated metal, which imitated the
background effect used in the Max Headroom TV and movie
appearances. There was no audio other than a buzzing noise and an
oscillating sound. The hijack was stopped after engineers at WGN
switched the frequency of their studio link to the John Hancock
Center transmitter. The incident left sports anchor Dan Roan
bemused, saying, "Well, if you're wondering what's happened,
ha-ha...so am I." He then unsuccessfully tried to repeat what
he was saying before the incident occurred. Later that night,
around 11:15 p.m. Central Time, during a broadcast of the Doctor
Who serial Horror of Fang Rock, PBS member station WTTW's signal
was hijacked by the same person, apparently, who had broadcast the
WGN-TV hijack, this time with distorted and crackling audio. The
show was interrupted by television static, after which the
unidentified man wearing the Max Headroom mask and sunglasses
appeared, mentioning WGN pundit Chuck Swirsky, who he said he was
"better than", going on to call Swirsky a "fricking
liberal". The man started to moan, scream and laugh. He
continued to laugh and utter various random phrases, including New
Coke's advertising slogan "Catch the Wave" while holding
a Pepsi can (Max Headroom was a Coca-Cola spokesperson at the
time), then crushed the can, tossed it out of sight, leaned
towards the camera and presented the finger wearing a rubber
extension over his middle finger, though the gesture was partially
off-screen. The man then retrieved the Pepsi can, and sang "Your
love is fading", removed the rubber extension, and then began
humming the theme song to Clutch Cargo, pausing to say "I
still see the X" (often misheard as "I stole CBS"),
which referred to the final episode of the series, before resuming
humming again. He then began to moan painfully, exclaiming about
his piles (again, the muffled audio, or perhaps as a deliberate
computer pun, makes it sound as if he is saying "files"),
after which a flatulence sound was heard. He then stated that he
had "made a giant masterpiece for all the greatest world
newspaper nerds" (the WGN call letters used by the Chicago
television station as well as its sister radio station are an
acronym for "World's Greatest Newspaper", in reference
to the flagship newspaper of their corporate parent, the Tribune
Company's Chicago Tribune). He then held up a gardening glove and
said, "My brother is wearing the other one." After
putting the glove on, he continued, "But it's dirty! Looks
like it's got blood prints on it!" He then removed the glove
and threw it away in disgust. The picture suddenly cuts over to a
shot of the man's lower torso. His buttocks were partly exposed,
and he was holding the now-removed mask up to the camera with the
rubber extension now placed in the mouth of the mask, howling,
"They're coming to get me!" An unidentified female
accomplice wearing a costume then told him to "bend over,
bitch." The accomplice then started to spank the man with a
flyswatter as the man screamed loudly, shouting "Oh do it!"
part way. The transmission then blacked out for a few seconds
before resuming the Doctor Who episode in progress; the hijack
lasted for about 90 seconds. WTTW, which maintained its
transmitter atop the Sears Tower, found that its engineers were
unable to stop the hijacker due to the fact that there were no
engineers on duty at the Sears Tower at the time of the hijacking.
According to station spokesman Anders Yocom, technicians
monitoring the transmission from WTTW headquarters "attempted
to take corrective measures, but couldn't." "By the time
our people began looking into what was going on, it was over,"
he told the Chicago Tribune. WTTW was able to find copies of the
hijacker's telecast with the help of Doctor Who fans who had been
taping the show. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

many recipes out there and pick your favorite one! Believed to
have originated in the New England States during the early 1900s,
cranberry relish is a traditional part of many families
Thanksgiving dinner. Each Thanksgiving, Susan Stamberg provides
National Public Radio listeners with her mother-in-law's recipe
for cranberry relish sauce. The American radio journalist and
Special Correspondent for NPR and guest host for Weekend Edition
Saturday has been doing this since 1971. What's unusual about the
special recipe, known as Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish, is that
horseradish is one of its principal ingredients. Craig Claiborne
originally published the recipe in his food column in 1959.
Numerous cranberry relish recipes grace cookbooks and blogs across
the internet. The bright and sweet flavors are enhanced by
ingredients like apples, oranges, and pineapple. You can make them
spicy or nutty, too. Or, you might offer more than one style and
use the leftovers for great sandwiches. But there's more than one
way to slice this cranberry dish: Use it as a marinade for pork,
chicken, or beef; Add it to barbeque sauce and pour it over
meatballs; Mix it into a batch of muffins for breakfast; Stir it
into cream cheese and add it to your morning bagel! Whip up your
favorite cranberry recipes and relish the flavor! You can also

hundreds of animals from cruelty cases? Humane Society
International strives to promote the human-animal bond, protect
and rescue animals, and more across the world. The Humane Society
International, or H.S.I., is a non-profit organization dedicated
to promoting animal welfare. It addresses issues such as animal
cruelty, including inhumane practices and conditions affecting
companion and farm animals, illegal animal trade, animal
slaughter, and use of animals in research and product testing.
Humane Society International was founded in 1991 with its
headquarters located in Washington, D.C. Currently, the C.E.O. of
H.S.I. is Kitty Block. Humane Society Anniversary Day is a day
that celebrates the establishment of the organization. In almost
50 countries around the world, the group collaborates with
national and international governments, humane organizations,
animal protectionists, and animal welfare campaigners. They work
together to find a solution to act against animal cruelty and to
encourage an ethic of respect and compassion for all life. Humane
Society International also assists policymakers in the drafting of
animal-friendly legislation, rules, policy statements, and
resolutions. It promotes animal welfare through trade capacity,
building projects in developing countries, and international
anti-cruelty campaigns. Humane Society International has risen to
prominence over the years and is now a regular and active
participant in international events such as the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species. The United Nations has
also granted it Category I A General Consultative Status.
Currently, there are more than 12 million supporters for Humane
Society International globally and it is the largest animal
protection organization in the world, with branches in all major
countries, including India and South Korea.

Today, November 22, 2025November 22: Love Your Freckles Day: --
Today iis all about celebrating and flaunting freckles. Commonly
found in redheads or those whose parents are respectively dark and
fair, freckles are cute, sunkissed spots that make most of those
blessed with them look wonderfully unique and natural! Synonymous
with youth, and sported by beauties including model Adwoa Aboah,
'Big Little Lies' star Zoe Kravitz, and the actor Lily Newmark,
the freckled face offers an idiosyncratic alternative to those
flawless Instagram selfies where make-up is applied in thick,
opaque layers. On this day, make sure to appreciate freckled faces
all over the world. It's time to celebrate sunkissed marks on Love
Your Freckles Day. Even though freckles are considered to be
'trend' recently, it wasn't always that way, even historically.
Freckles - dermatologically called ephelides - are small,
brownish, well-circumscribed, spots on the skin occurring most
frequently in red or sandy-haired individuals. The variants of the
MC1R gene that are linked with freckles started to emerge in the
human genotype when humans started to leave Africa. The variant
Val92Met arose somewhere between 250,000 and 100,000 years ago,
long enough for this gene to be carried by humans into central
Asia. Freckles occur in people with heritage from around the
world. While it's true that such a mutation in people of Celtic
heritage causes the stereotypical dot-dot-dots in fair redheads,
variations of the MC1R gene lead to freckles in Chinese, Japanese,
French, Mediterranean, Israeli, and certain African ethnic groups
as well. The word freckle, first used in the 14th century, arose
out of the middle English word freken, which is probably of
Scandinavian origin, according to Webster's dictionary. The
layman's term freckle can stand for two distinct dermatologic
entities and lentigines. From the late 19th through the early 20th
century, freckles were seen as unsightly blemishes that needed to
be banished from the complexion, demonstrated by adverts such as a
Pond's Vanishing Cream ad from 1910. From 1914 to 1928, some ads
were downright harsh, calling freckles "homely" and
shameful. A shift occurred in the perception of freckles when
somewhere in the mid to late 20th century they became acceptable
and even desirable. Perhaps the rise of the tan's popularity was a
factor - as early as the 1950s - correlating to health and a life
of leisure, and a byproduct of spending quality time in the sun is
the production of freckles. By the '90s, freckles were also linked
to a more youthful appearance, an association that continues over
20 years later. In fact, Chanel was the first company to market a
product designed to create faux freckles in 1995. Now, freckles
are widely seen as unique and beautiful, which is why they should
be celebrated not just on Love Your Freckles Day, but every day!

Today, November 22, 2025November 22: Housing Day (Canada): -- A
day to remind us of the plight of homeless people. In the US
alone, there are more than 600,000 homeless people. Shelter is one
of the most important needs a person has. Housing Day reminds us,
and the government, about the immediate need to provide safe
houses for people. Canada declared homelessness a national
disaster in 1998. After two years, November 22 was declared
National Housing Day. We also use the day to appreciate the
efforts of the government and other concerned organizations in
eradicating homelessness. Housing is a major concern for every
country in the world. When it comes to housing shortages, there is
no difference between first and third-world countries. There are
an estimated 150 million people all over the globe who do not have
a house to spend the night in. An independent survey in 2015
estimated that 1.6 billion people are living in inadequate
shelters. In 1998, Canada's government realized the issue of
homelessness. They declared homelessness a national disaster. Two
years later, November 22 was declared National Housing Day.
Housing is not a new concept. We humans have used caves as
shelters since some 170,000 years ago. Now, houses have changed in
shape, size, and utility. It is no longer just a place to shelter
from the elements and wild beasts. The house is where we belong
most of the time. Urbanization, the evolution of the nuclear
family, and cultural factors have all contributed to an increase
in the desire to own a home. Nevertheless, housing is a basic
human necessity, and every individual has the right to own a
house. There used to be a time when being homeless was treated as
a crime. Housing Day aims to change the mindset of the general
population towards homeless people. It also reminds us to put
forth plans to change the condition of homeless people and even
provide them with new houses. Housing Day is not just about
changing people's perceptions and helping homeless people. It is
also a day to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of those
working to create a better world for homeless people.

urges you to just get up and get out! Do you ever feel like you're
tied to your laptop/phone/tablet screens? We've become a pretty
sedentary bunch - a far cry from the people who discovered
countries, oceans, and animals simply by getting off the couch and
exploring. Make today a day to set your spirit free and enjoy your
wanderlust on whatever mode of transportation suits you best.
Bike, boat, car, skateboard, sleigh-it doesn't matter what you
choose! Pick a location you've always wanted to visit and make
today the day you'll go. Birthdays are fun and Christmas means
presents (if you're lucky), but nothing quite compares with the
magical day you get your driver's license. That's when your world
truly changes forever. Why? Cars mean freedom. You can suddenly go
anywhere at anytime (as long as your parents are cool with your
plans). Such is the nature of transportation - something we in the
21st century take for granted. We all grew up with planes, trains
and automobiles - so we're quite used to getting where we need to
go. But it wasn't always that way. When President Jefferson asked
Lewis (and, eventually, Clark) to explore the American West in
1804, there were no nonstop flights from St. Louis to the Oregon
coast. As the History Channel describes it: "The excursion
lasted over two years. Along the way they confronted harsh
weather, unforgiving terrain, treacherous waters, injuries,
starvation, disease and both friendly and hostile Native
Americans. Nevertheless, the approximately 8,000-mile journey was
deemed a huge success and provided new geographic, ecological and
social information about previously uncharted areas of North
America." And today we complain about trying to squeeze our
carry-ons into the overhead bin. Americans have always loved to
"go for a ride" - with whatever mode of transportation
existed. Horses. Boats. Bicycles. And of course, the ubiquitous
car. The nation had a long love affair with automobiles starting
in the mid 20th century and lasting until recently - as a new
generation of car buyers, born after the car craze, loses interest
in design - focusing instead on practicality. Stellar gas mileage
makes Priuses as sexy as Porsches. Well, almost.

through BMG. Young's song "Sunlight" was covered by
Three Dog Night on their album Naturally (1970), and "Darkness,
Darkness" by Robert Plant in 2002, which received a
nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal
Performance. In 2006, Young and his family moved to Aiken, South

at his home there at the age of 83. His burial details are not

Today, November 22, 2025November 22, 1963: #DOTD: #RIP: Aldous
Huxley, English novelist, philosopher and mystic (b. July 26,
1894) #dies of advanced laryngeal cancer at aged 69 at 5:20 p.m.
Los Angeles time; on his deathbed, unable to speak, Huxley made a
written request to his wife Laura for "LSD, 100 g,
intramuscular." According to her account of his death in This
Timeless Moment, she obliged with an injection at 11:20 a.m. and a
second dose an hour later. He is buried at Compton Village
Cemetery in Compton, Guildford Borough, Surrey, England. Aldous
Huxley was born Aldous Leonard Huxley in Godalming, Surrey,
England, the third son of the writer and schoolmaster Leonard
Huxley, who edited The Cornhill Magazine, and his first wife,
Julia Arnold, who founded Prior's Field School. Aldous Huxley
wrote nearly fifty books, both novels and non-fiction works, as
well as wide-ranging essays, narratives, and poems. Born into the
prominent Huxley family, he graduated from Balliol College, Oxford
with an undergraduate degree in English literature. Early in his
career, he published short stories and poetry and edited the
literary magazine Oxford Poetry, before going on to publish travel
writing, satire, and screenplays. He spent the latter part of his
life in the United States, living in Los Angeles from 1937 until
his death. By the end of his life, Huxley was widely acknowledged
as one of the foremost intellectuals of his time. He was nominated
for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times and was elected
Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature in
1962. Huxley was a pacifist. He grew interested in philosophical
mysticism and universalism, addressing these subjects with works
such as The Perennial Philosophy (1945), which illustrates
commonalities between Western and Eastern mysticism, and The Doors
of Perception (1954), which interprets his own psychedelic
experience with mescaline. In his most famous novel Brave New
World (1932) and his final novel Island (1962), he presented his
vision of dystopia and utopia, respectively.

Pineau, Marine Corps captain, pioneer codebreaker, government
official, noted historian and publisher (b. late November-December
1916) #dies aged 76 of cardiovascular disease at Suburban
Hospital, Bethesda, Maryland, the same town in which he lived at
the time. His burial details, as well as his birth details, are
not publicly disclosed. He was survived by his wife, the former
Maxine J. Good, whom he married in 1942 and with whom he had four
children. Roger Pineau entered the Navy in 1942 and was
commissioned after he received Japanese-language instruction at
the Navy Japanese Language School in Boulder, Colorado. He spent
the remainder of World War II at the Naval Communications Annex in
Washington, where he worked in code-breaking operations. Through
the efforts of Capt. Pineau's colleagues, and similar units at
Pearl Harbor, the Navy was able to read many of the Japanese naval
and diplomatic codes. After the war, Capt. Pineau was an
interpreter and analyst with the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey in
Japan. In 1947, he became an assistant to Samuel E. Morrison, a
Harvard University historian and Navy rear admiral who wrote the
official Navy history of World War II. In 1950, Capt. Pineau
retired from active duty but continued to work for the Navy's
history division. He later transferred to the State Department,
serving as chief of Far East current intelligence. After working a
year with the Institute for Defense Analyses in the early 1960s,
he returned to State as a social science officer for cultural and
educational affairs. In 1965, he joined the Smithsonian, and from
1966 to 1972, was managing editor of the Smithsonian Institution
Press. He was then recalled to active duty as director of the Navy
Memorial Museum. He retired from that post in 1978. During the
1950s and 1960s, he had held a variety of assignments as a Navy
reserve officer, including tours as a naval aide to Presidents
Eisenhower, Kennedy and Nixon. His Navy decorations included the
Meritorious Service Medal. Capt. Pineau wrote, translated and
edited numerous books dealing with the Pacific campaigns and
personalities of World War II. Capt. Pineau and retired Navy Rear
Adm. Edwin T. Layton, who was Pacific Fleet intelligence officer
during the war, and British writer John Costello wrote "And I
Was There, Pearl Harbor and Midway -- Breaking the Secrets,"
a 1985 book that told of the intelligence work that figured in the
tragedy and later triumph of the war. He also wrote the chapter
entitled "Isoroku Yamamoto," a profile of the legendary
Japanese admiral, which appeared in "The War Lords," an
acclaimed 1976 collection of military profiles edited by British
Field Marshal Sir Michael Carver.

Today, November 22, 2025November 22, 1916: #DOTD: #RIP: Jack
London, American novelist, journalist and activist (b. January 12,
1876) #dies on a sleeping porch in a cottage on his ranch in Glen
Ellen, California, aged 40. London had been a robust man but had
suffered several serious illnesses, including scurvy in the
Klondike. Additionally, during travels on the Snark, he and
Charmian picked up unspecified tropical infections and diseases,
including yaws, a tropical infection of the skin, bones, and
joints. At the time of his death, he suffered from dysentery,
late-stage alcoholism, and uremia; he was in extreme pain and
taking morphine and opium, both common over-the-counter drugs at
the time. London's ashes were buried on his property not far from
the Wolf House. London's funeral took place on November 26, 1916,
attended only by close friends, relatives, and workers of the
property. In accordance with his wishes, he was cremated and
buried next to some pioneer children, under a rock that belonged
to the Wolf House. After Charmian's death in 1955, she was also
cremated and then buried with her husband in the same spot that
her husband chose. The grave is marked by a mossy boulder. The
buildings and property were later preserved as Jack London State
Historic Park, in Glen Ellen, California. Because he was using
morphine, many older sources describe London's death as a suicide,
and some still do. This conjecture appears to be a rumor, or
speculation based on incidents in his fiction writings. His death
certificate gives the cause as uremia, following acute renal
colic. The biographer Stasz writes, "Following London's
death, for a number of reasons, a biographical myth developed in
which he has been portrayed as an alcoholic womanizer who
committed suicide. Recent scholarship based upon firsthand
documents challenges this caricature." Most biographers,
including Russ Kingman, now agree he died of uremia aggravated by
an accidental morphine overdose. Jack London was born John
Griffith Chaney in San Francisco, California. A pioneer of
commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first
American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a
large fortune from writing. He was also an innovator in the genre
that would later become known as science fiction. London was part
of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San
Francisco and a passionate advocate of animal rights, workers'
rights and socialism. London wrote several works dealing with
these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his
non-fiction expose The People of the Abyss, War of the Classes,
and Before Adam. His most famous works include The Call of the
Wild and White Fang, both set in Alaska and the Yukon during the
Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a
Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of
Life". He also wrote about the South Pacific in stories such
as "The Pearls of Parlay", and "The Heathen".

Today, November 22, 2025November 22, 1932: #BOTD: #HBD! Robert
Vaughn, American actor noted for his stage, film and television
work (d. November 11, 2016) is #born Robert Francis Vaughn, in New
York City. He was best known for his TV roles, including suave spy
Napoleon Solo in the 1960s series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.; wealthy
detective Harry Rule in the 1970s series The Protectors; Morgan
Wendell in the 1978-79 mini series "Centennial";
formidable General Hunt Stockwell in the 5th season of the 1980s
series The A-Team; and grifter and card sharp Albert Stroller in
the British television drama series Hustle (2004-2012), for all
but one of its 48 episodes. He also appeared in the British soap
opera Coronation Street as Milton Fanshaw, a love interest for
Sylvia Goodwin between January and February 2012. In film, he

Major Paul Krueger in The Bridge at Remagen, the voice of Proteus
IV, the computer villain of Demon Seed, Walter Chalmers in

Today, November 22, 2025November 22, 1955: #DOTD: #RIP: Shemp
Howard, American comedian and actor best known as a part of the
Three Stooges comedy team (d. March 11, 1895) team #dies of a
massive heart attack at the age of 60 after attending a boxing
match at the Hollywood Legion Stadium; he had just told a joke and
was leaning back, lighting a cigar, and suddenly slumped over onto
his associate Al Winston's lap, burning him with the cigar. His
brother Moe Howard's autobiography gives a death date of November
23, 1955, as do most subsequent accounts, because of Moe's book.
But much of that book was finished posthumously by his daughter
and son-in-law, and some details were confused. The Los Angeles
County Coroner's death certificate states that Shemp Howard died
on Tuesday, November 22, 1955, at 11:35 [PM] PST. Howard's
obituary also appeared in the November 23 afternoon editions of
Los Angeles newspapers, citing the death on the night of November
22. He is buried at The Home Of Peace Memorial Park cemetery in
East Los Angeles, California. Shemp Howard was born Samuel Horwitz
in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New York, to Lithuanian Jewish parents
Solomon and Jennie Gorwitz. He was called "Shemp"
because "Sam" came out that way in his mother's thick
Litvak accent. His role as Shemp as the third stooge in the Three
Stooges lasted from the beginning of the act in 1923 to 1932,
while the act was still associated with Ted Healy and known as
"Ted Healy and his Stooges", and again from 1946 until
his death in 1955. Between his times with the Stooges, Shemp had a
successful film career as a film comedian, including series of
shorts by himself and with partners, and reluctantly returned to
the Stooges as a favor to his brothers Moe and Curly.

Barr, nicknamed "The Stickman", American stand-up and
burlesque comedian, film actor, and dancer (b. September 27, 1903)
#dies aged 77 in a hospital in Burbank, California. of a stroke
suffered on October 28, 1980 in his hotel room in West Hollywood.
He is buried at Westwood Memorial Park cemetery in Westwood, Los
Angeles County, California. Born Leonard Barra in West Virginia in
a town whose name is not publicly disclosed, he was the uncle of
Dean Martin, being the brother of Dean Martin's mother Angela.
Barr appeared several times with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis when
they hosted the Colgate Comedy Hour. He had a brief role in The
Sting, appropriately as a burlesque comic. That is also the way
his character is listed in the credits, as an anonymous comedian.
However, in the wings of the stage just before the comic's
entrance, he has a brief conversation with Johnny Hooker (Robert
Redford), who addresses him as "Leonard". He is perhaps
best remembered internationally for his appearance in the 1971
James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever in which he played Shady
Tree, a stand-up comedian and smuggler in Las Vegas who was
assassinated by henchmen Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd. He also appeared
in The Odd Couple usually in the non-dialogue New York street
scenes in the first season or 5 episodes later in 1975 with
dialogue and, albeit unnamed, on an episode of M*A*S*H as a USO
comedian. He also made numerous guest appearances on The Tonight
Show Starring Johnny Carson. Cameron Crowe briefly depicted Barr
as a foul-mouthed real-life character in Almost Famous, his
semi-autobiographical film of 2000.

Earhart Documentary Biography DVD, Video Download, USB Drive
Today, November 22, 2025November 22: National Amelia Day: --
Celebrates a classic name that has a contemporary twist. The name
Amelia derives from Latin, and from the Arabic word 'Amal,' which
means 'labor.' Modified variants of this name have been in use for
centuries. Amy, Emma, and Emily are examples of diminutive forms.
The name Amelia is ideal for females who strive to achieve their
goals in life. It means 'industrious' or 'hardworking' and has a
long history of popularity among the nobility. The name is of
German origin, and it is derived from the name Amala. When King
George II and III called their daughters Amelia, the name became
fairly common in 18th Century Europe. Amelia became a common given
name in England after the German House of Hanover assumed power in
the 18th Century. When monarchs George II and George III each
called one of their daughters Amelia, this beautiful name made its
way into the English language. These kings were members of the
German House of Hanover, which reigned over the U.K. and Ireland
at various stages of the 17th century. Amelia Earhart, a pilot
born in Atchison, Kansas, in 1897, is one of history's most
renowned Amelias. In 1932, Earhart became the first female pilot
to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean. Despite her international
fame as a heroine in the early 1900s, the name Amelia was only
modestly common until recently. The name Amelia has been on the
Social Security Administration's list of best newborn girl names
for almost a century, and it was in the top 100 in 2004. It is
also possible that movie heroes helped the name Amelia climb the
charts. Movies such as "Amelie," which was a French
success, and "The Princess Diaries," an American film
starring Anne Hathaway as Amelia "Mia" Thermopolis were
both released in 2001. Amelia is spelled Amelie in French And Amy,
Mia, Millie, Melie, and Ames are some popular nicknames for
Amelia.

Adams, American writer, wife and closest advisor of John Adams, as
well as the mother of John Quincy Adams, second First Lady Of The
United States (FLOTUS) and first Second Lady Of The United States
(SLOTUS), regarded as a "Founding Mother Of The United
States" (although these titles were not used during her
lifetime) (d. October 28, 1818) is #born Abigail Smith at the
North Parish Congregational Church in Weymouth, Massachusetts. She
and Barbara Bush are the only two women to be the wife of one U.S.
president and the mother of another. Adams's life is one of the
most documented of the First Ladies: she is remembered for the
many letters she wrote to her husband while he stayed in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the Continental Congresses.
John frequently sought the advice of Abigail on many matters, and
their letters are filled with intellectual discussions on
government and politics. Her letters also serve as eyewitness
accounts of the American Revolutionary War home front. Abigail
Adams died in her home of typhoid fever aged 73 years old, exactly
two weeks shy of her 74th birthday. Her last words were, "Do
not grieve, my friend, my dearest friend. I am ready to go. And
John, it will not be long." Less than eight years later, on
July 4, 1826, the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration Of
Independence, her husband died of heart failure at the age of 90.
She is buried beside her husband and near their son John Quincy
and his wife Louisa in a crypt located in the United First Parish
Church (also known as the "Church of the Presidents") in
Quincy, Massachusetts.

American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian,
cultural icon and sex symbol (b. August 17, 1893) #dies at Good
Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, California aged aged 87 from
the effects of a stroke caused when she tripped while getting out
of bed the prior August. A private service was held at the church
in Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills, on November 25, 1980. Bishop
Andre Penachio, a friend, officiated at the entombment in the
family mausoleum at Cypress Hills Abbey, Brooklyn, purchased in
1930 when her mother died. Her father and brother were also
entombed there before her, and her younger sister, Beverly, was
laid to rest in the last of the five crypts less than 18 months
after West's death. She was born Mary Jane West in Brooklyn, New
York (either Greenpoint or Bushwick) before New York City was
consolidated in 1898. Mae West had an entertainment career that
spanned seven decades. Known for her lighthearted bawdy double
entendres, and breezy sexual independence, West made a name for
herself in vaudeville and on the stage in New York City before
moving to Hollywood to become a comedian, actress, and writer in
the motion picture industry, as well as appearing on radio and
television. For her contributions to American cinema, the American
Film Institute named West 15th among the greatest female stars of
classic American cinema. One of the more controversial movie stars
of her day, West encountered many problems, especially censorship.
She bucked the system, making comedy out of prudish conventional
mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When
her cinematic career ended, she wrote books and plays, and
continued to perform in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, and on
radio and television, and to record rock and roll albums. Asked
about the various efforts to impede her career, West replied: "I
believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." While
true, she also suffered greatly because of it, even going to jail
for her right to freedom of speech.
