October 31 - November 1: Samhain: --
Beginning at nightfall and continuing until sunset on November 1
every year, Samhain is considered one of the most important
festivals of the ancient Celtic religion. Samhain is considered to
be the time when gods become visible to humankind, and they tend
to play tricks on their worshipers. This day used to be a day of
fear and danger. Sacrifices were one of the vital rites of the
festival as Celts believed they were essential to prevail over the
perils before them that the deities could have laid down. For the
ancient Celts, Samhain was an agricultural festival that marked
the time when summer ended, and people took stock of the food
before winter. With the end of the harvest season, it was also
considered a time of supernatural intensity when the forces of
darkness walked on Earth. Ancient Celtic people used to build
large bonfires, hoping to please the gods who would safeguard
their livestock and harvest in return. It is also a festival of
separation between summer and winter, the light and the dark. It
was believed that the normal order of the universe is suspended
during Samhain. The barrier between the physical world and the
spirit world ceased to exist during this day, which allowed for
communication between humans and spirits. To avoid the spirits,
Celts disguised themselves in costumes that consisted of animal
heads, skins, and horns so that spirits would consider them fellow
supernatural beings and not humans. Animals were sacrificed to
please the Celtic deities, and people used to take coals from the
central fire of bonfires to light their hearths. In the 7th
century, Pope Boniface IV created All Saints Day, which a century
later was moved to November 11 - it acted as a Christian
substitute to Samhain. Before the saintly celebration was observed
on the day of All Hallows Eve or Halloween. From Celtic regions,
the holiday started to spread to other places. By the 1800s, the
fall festival which marked the seasonal harvest started to have
Halloween elements and Irish immigrants, who were escaping the
Potato Famine, brought many Halloween traditions to America, which
popularized this festival. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till

November 1: Calan Gaeaf: -- Known as "The
Mother Of Halloween", Calan Gaeaf is an annual celebration in
Wales to welcome winter -- but Calan Gaeaf also celebrates the
macabre and creatures of the other world as the days become short
and nights become long and chilly -- not your regular old
celebration of the cold months! This holiday is especially loved
by children who dress up in costumes and carve pumpkins. Calan
Gaeaf is a rather unusual celebration that emphasizes ghouls,
ghosts, death, and the afterlife. Calan Gaeaf is often believed to
be the predecessor of the U.S. festival of Halloween. Celebrated
at the very beginning of winter, Calan Gaeaf was a way of getting
people ready to prepare for short and cheerless days ahead. The
longer nights and cool air turned out to be the perfect setting
for a spooky festival. The night before Calan Gaeaf is known as
'Nos Galan Gaeaf,' where spirits are abroad and yet to visit
people. On the night before, people stay away from churchyards,
stiles, and crossroads to avoid running into spirits. Like
festivals that have to do with spirits and ghosts, Calan Gaeaf is
also deeply rooted in superstitions. In the early practice of the
festival, villagers would dance around a bonfire and everyone
would write their names and carve a mark on rocks. These rocks
were later placed in the fire. When the fire died out, the
villagers would all run home, thinking that if they stayed, 'Yr
Hwch Ddu Gwta'' (a spirit in the shape of a tailless black sow
with a headless woman) or 'Y Ladi Wen' (a headless ghost
apparition) would chase them and devour their souls. The next
morning, the villagers would return to see if the rocks still
contained their mark. If the mark was wiped clean, it was
considered good luck. If, however, a stone was missing, the person
to whom it originally belonged was believed to be cursed with bad
luck that would result in them dying within a year! On Sale @ 15%

November 1-2: The Day Of The Dead
(Spanish: Dia de Los Muertos): -- An annual day for Mexicans to
welcome the souls of their deceased relatives back for a brief
reunion. The day is not one of mourning, but instead an
opportunity to portray death in a positive light, as a part of the
human experience. When a person dies, it often brings feelings of
loss and grief. People in most cultures believe they will never
see their deceased love one again. Some, however, feel their
departed loved one will always be with them in spirit. They
believe their departed loved one sends signs that they are still
there and provides help in times of need. One thing many cultures
have in common is that when the body dies, it turns into an
eternal soul. Where this soul resides is debated among faiths and
cultures. Many Mexicans believe they can be reunited with their
deceased loved ones. This is what the Day Of The Dead is all
about. It's a way to encourage departed loved ones to come back
for a brief visit. On this day, those who celebrate it exchange
mourning for celebration. Many people celebrate this day by
creating Calaveras, which are representations of human skulls. The
skulls are brightly colored and contain smiling faces, to show
that death is not scary. Many cities in Mexico and the United
States have parades where people paint their faces and dress up in
costumes. Other ways to celebrate this day include creating
offerings at makeshift alters that contain yellow marigold
flowers, photos of the departed, and their favorite foods. These
offerings encourage visits from departed loved ones. Another way
to participate is to watch a movie that features the Day Of The
Dead, such as the James Bond movie Spectre or the animated hit
Coco. You can also say, "Feliz dia de los Meurtos" or
share this day on social media with #DayOfTheDead. The origins of
this day go all the way back to the ancient Aztecs. They had a
unique view of death and saw it as an ever-present part of life.
Upon dying, the Aztecs believed a person traveled to a place
called the Land of the Dead. After several years of going through
nine challenging levels, their soul could finally come to rest. To
aid their departed loved ones for the journey, they often brought
food and water to their loved one's graves. For many years, this
day was mostly celebrated in the rural, indigenous parts of
Mexico. In the 1980s, this celebration began spreading to the
cities. UNESCO added the Day Of The Dead to its list of Intangible
Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008. In 2016, Mexico City hosted
its first-ever Day Of The Dead parade. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount

November 1: Allhallowtide (Hallowtide,
Allsaintstide, The Hallowmas Season): All Saints' Day (All
Hallows' Day): -- A Christian festival celebrated in honour of all
the saints, known and unknown, celebrated in Western Christianity
by the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the
Methodist Church, the Church of the Nazarene, the Lutheran Church,
the Reformed Church, and other Protestant churches. All Saints'
day is the second day of Allhallowtide, the Western Christian
season encompassing the triduum (a religious observance that lasts
three days) of All Saints' Eve (Halloween), All Saints' Day (All
Hallows' Day) and All Souls' Day, oberved by Roman Catholicis and
some Lutherans and Anglicans. In the Western Christian practice,
the liturgical celebration begins at Vespers on the evening of
October 31, All Hallows' Eve (All Saints' Eve), and ends at the
close of November 1. It is thus the day before All Souls' Day,
which commemorates the faithful departed. On All Saints Day, it is
common for families to attend church, as well as visit cemeteries
in order to lay flowers and candles on the graves of their
deceased loved ones. In Austria and Germany, godparents gift their
godchildren Allerheiligenstriezel (All Saint's Braid) on All
Saint's Day, while the practice of souling remains popular in
Portugal. It is a national holiday in many historically Christian
countries. The Christian celebration of All Saints' Day and All
Souls' Day stems from a belief that there is a powerful spiritual
bond between those in heaven (the "Church triumphant"),
and the living (the "Church militant"). In Catholic
theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the
beatific vision in Heaven. In Methodist theology, All Saints Day
revolves around "giving God solemn thanks for the lives and
deaths of his saints", including those who are "famous
or obscure". As such, individuals throughout the Church
Universal are honoured, such as Paul the Apostle, Augustine of
Hippo and John Wesley, in addition to individuals who have
personally led one to faith in Jesus, such as one's grandmother or
friend. In the British Isles, it is known that churches were
already celebrating All Saints on 1 November at the beginning of
the 8th century to coincide with or replace the Celtic festival of
Samhain. James Frazer suggests that 1 November was chosen because
it was the date of the Celtic festival of the dead (Samhain).
However, Ronald Hutton points out that, according to Oengus of
Tallaght (d. ca. 824), the 7th/8th century church in Ireland
celebrated All Saints on April 20. He suggests that November 1
date was a Germanic rather than a Celtic idea. On Sale @ 15% Off

November 1: Native American Indian
Heritage Month: -- The first day of the commemorative month that
aims to provide a platform for Native people in the United States
of America to share their culture, traditions, music, crafts,
dance, and ways and concepts of life. This gives Native people the
opportunity to express to their community, both city, county and
state officials their concerns and solutions for building bridges
of understanding and friendship in their local area. Federal
Agencies are encouraged to provide educational programs for their
employees regarding Native American history, rights, culture and
contemporary issues, to better assist them in their jobs and for
overall awareness. On August 3, 1990, President of the United
States George H. W. Bush declared the month of November as
National American Indian Heritage Month. The bill read in part
that "The President has authorized and requested to call upon
Federal, State and local Governments, groups and organizations and
the people of the United States to observe such month with
appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities". This
landmark bill honoring America's Native people represented a major
step in the establishment of this celebration which began in 1976
when a Cherokee/Osage Indian named Jerry C. Elliott-High Eagle
authored Native American Awareness Week legislation the first
historical week of recognition in the nation for native peoples.
This led to 1986 with then President Ronald Reagan proclaiming
November 23-30, 1986, as "American Indian Week". On Sale

November 1: Prime Meridian Day: -- In
1884, the prime meridian was defined by the location of the large
Airy Transit Circle telescope at the Royal Observatory in
Greenwich, England. Sir George Biddell Airy - the seventh
Astronomer Royal - designed the legendary telescope in 1850. The
Airy Transit Circle's crosshairs defined 0 dg longitude. Today, we
celebrate the prime meridian and its applications, including
dividing the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres and
setting up the global time zones. U.S. President Chester A. Arthur
played host to the International Meridian Conference held on
October 1, 1884, in Washington D.C. The conference was called to
set up global time zones and select the 0 dg official longitude,
also called the prime meridian. Over 41 delegates representing 25
countries were in attendance. Out of the nations present,
Greenwich got affirmative votes from 22 countries, France and
Brazil did not vote and Haiti voted against. Prior to the
conference, the world lacked a standard prime meridian. Several
locations were regarded as 0 dg longitude since lines of longitude
are imaginary lines. On October 13, Greenwich in England was
declared as the international prime meridian. Prime Meridian Day
is celebrated every year to commemorate the occasion. The prime
meridian passed through the middle of a transit instrument in the
observatory in Greenwich. The observatory would later become the
Royal Observatory, Greenwich. The observatory was relocated to
Hailsham, East Sussex after the Second World War, even though the
prime meridian still went through Greenwich. The Hailsham site
would later be called the Observatory Science Center, and after
some time, the Royal Observatory was reestablished at Greenwich.
The treaty signed at the International Meridian Conference
established the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean at
180 dg longitude. Several meridians exist, there is one for every
15_ with a one-hour time difference between them. However, some
countries do not follow the hour change rule. China, for example,
employs a single time zone, despite having five meridians crossing
its terrain. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

Chapel, painted by Michelangelo, is exhibited to the public for
the first time. The Sistine Chapel (Latin: Sacellum Sixtinum;
Italian: Cappella Sistina) is a chapel in the Apostolic Palace,
the official residence of the pope, in Vatican City. Originally
known as the Cappella Magna ('Great Chapel'), the chapel takes its
name from Pope Sixtus IV, who restored it between 1473 and 1481.
Pope Sixtus IV celebrated the first mass in the Sistine Chapel to
have occurred after restoration had begun on August 15, 1483 for
the Feast of the Assumption, at which ceremony the chapel was
consecrated and dedicated to the Virgin Mary, all following the
completion of a series of frescos depicting Moses, Christ and
Popes by Sandro Botticelli, Pietro Perugino, Pinturicchio,
Domenico Ghirlandaio and Cosimo Rosselli. Since that time, the
chapel has served as a place of both religious and functionary
papal activity. Today, it is the site of the papal conclave, the
process by which a new pope is selected. The fame of the Sistine
Chapel lies mainly in the frescos that decorate the interior, most
particularly the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment by
Michelangelo. Between 1508 and 1512, under the patronage of Pope
Julius II, Michelangelo painted the chapel's ceiling, a project
which changed the course of Western art and is regarded as one of
the major artistic accomplishments of human civilization. In a
different climate, after the Sack Of Rome, he returned and,
between 1535 and 1541, painted The Last Judgment for Popes Clement
VII and Paul III. The fame of Michelangelo's paintings has drawn
multitudes of visitors to the chapel ever since they were
exhibited to the public for the first time on November 1, 1512. On

November 1, 1861: The American Civil War
(The Civil War, The War Between The States): The Western Theater
Of The American Civil War: -- U.S. President Abraham Lincoln
appoints George B. McClellan as Commanding General of the United
States Army (Commander of the Union Army), replacing General
Winfield Scott. George Brinton McClellan (December 3, 1826 -
October 29, 1885) was an American soldier, civil engineer,
railroad executive, and politician who served as the 24th Governor
of New Jersey. A graduate of West Point, McClellan served with
distinction during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), and later
left the Army to work on railroads until the outbreak of the
American Civil War (1861-1865). Early in the conflict, McClellan
was appointed to the rank of major general and played an important
role in raising a well-trained and organized army, which would
become The Army Of The Potomac in the Eastern Theater; he served a
brief period (November 1861 to March 1862) as Commanding General
of the United States Army of the Union Army. McClellan organized
and led the Union army in the Peninsula Campaign in southeastern
Virginia from March through July 1862. It was the first
large-scale offensive in the Eastern Theater. Making an amphibious
clockwise turning movement around the Confederate Army in northern
Virginia, McClellan's forces turned west to move up the Virginia
Peninsula, between the James River and York River, landing from
Chesapeake Bay, with the Confederate capital, Richmond, as their
objective. Initially, McClellan was somewhat successful against
General Joseph E. Johnston, but the emergence of General Robert E.
Lee to command The Army Of Northern Virginia turned the subsequent
Seven Days Battles into a partial Union defeat. However,
historians note that Lee's victory was in many ways pyrrhic as he
failed to destroy The Army Of The Potomac and suffered a bloody
repulse at Malvern Hill. General McClellan and President Abraham
Lincoln developed a mutual distrust, and McClellan was privately
derisive of his General-in-Chief. McClellan was removed from
command in November in the aftermath of the 1862 midterm
elections. A major contributing factor in this decision was
McClellan's failure to pursue Lee's Army following the tactically
inconclusive but strategic Union victory at the Battle Of Antietam
outside Sharpsburg, Maryland. McClellan never received another
field command and went on to become the unsuccessful Democratic
Party nominee in the 1864 presidential election against the
Republican Lincoln. The effectiveness of his campaign was damaged
when he repudiated his party's platform, which promised an end to
the war and negotiations with the Confederacy. He served as the
24th Governor of New Jersey from 1878 to 1881; he eventually
became a writer, and vigorously defended his Civil War conduct.
Most historians have judged that McClellan was a poor battlefield
general. In recent decades, however, this view has been challenged
by some historians. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

Period (The Aftermath Of World War I, The Interbellum, Between The
Wars): The Road To War: The Axis Powers (the Rome-Berlin Axis, The
Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis): The Nineteen-Point Protocol: -- Italian
dictator Benito Mussolini, declaring that all other European
countries would from then on rotate on the Rome-Berlin axis, thus
originating the use of the term "Axis" to describe what
became known as "The Axis Powers", proclaims the
establishment of the Rome-Berlin Axis following the signing of The
Nineteen-Point Protocol by the Foreign Minister of Germany
Konstantin Von Neurath during a visit to Berlin by Mussolini's
Foreign Minister and son-in-law Galeazzo Ciano (whom Mussolini
later executed) who countersigned the protocol. The Axis Powers
(German: Achsenmachte; Italian: Potenze dell'Asse; Japanese:
Sujikukoku), also known as "Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis" was
a military alliance that fought in World War II against the
Allies. The Axis Powers agreed on their opposition to the Allies,
but did not completely coordinate their activity. The Axis grew
out of the diplomatic efforts of Germany, Italy, and Japan to
secure their own specific expansionist interests in the mid-1930s.
The first step was the Nineteen-Point Protocol signed by Germany
and Italy. The almost simultaneous second step was the signing in
November 1936 of the Anti-Comintern Pact, an anti-communist treaty
between Germany and Japan. Italy and Spain joined the Pact in
1937. The "Rome-Berlin Axis" became a military alliance
in 1939 under the so-called "Pact of Steel", with the
Tripartite Pact of 1940 leading to the integration of the military
aims of Germany, Italy and Japan. As such the Anti-Comintern Pact,
the Tripartite Pact, and the Pact of Steel were the agreements
that formed the main basis of the Axis. At its zenith in 1942
during World War II, the Axis presided over territories that
occupied large parts of Europe, North Africa, and East Asia. There
were no three-way summit meetings and cooperation and coordination
was minimal, with slightly more between Germany and Italy. The war
ended in 1945 with the defeat of the Axis powers and the
dissolution of their alliance. As in the case of the Allies,
membership of the Axis was fluid, with some nations switching
sides or changing their degree of military involvement over the
course of the war. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

November 1, 1950: Religion: The History
Of Religion: Abrahamic Religions: Christianity: The History Of
Roman Catholicism: Dogma In The Catholic Church: Catholic
Mariology: Papal Infallibility: Apostolic Constitutions (Latin:
Constitutio Apostolici): The Assumption Of Mary: Munificentissimus
Deus (Latin: The Most Bountiful God): -- Pope Pius XII claims
papal infallibility on All Saint's Day when he formally defines
the dogma of the Assumption of Mary. The Assumption of Mary into
Heaven (often shortened to the Assumption) is, according to the
beliefs of the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Churches,
Oriental Orthodoxy, Church of the East, and some Anglo-Catholic
Churches, among others, the bodily taking up (entering heaven
alive, called by various religions "ascension",
"assumption", or "translation") of Mary, the
mother of Jesus, into Heaven (the Heavens; in Christianity,
traditionally the location of the throne of God and the angels of
God, and in most forms of Christianity, the abode of the righteous
dead in the afterlife) at the end of her earthly life. In the
churches that observe it, the Assumption is a major feast day,
commonly celebrated on August 15. In many countries, the feast is
also marked as a Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church teaches as dogma that the Virgin Mary "having
completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and
soul into heavenly glory". This doctrine was dogmatically
defined by Pope Pius XII on November 1 1950, in the apostolic
constitution Munificentissimus Deus by exercising papal
infallibility. While the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox
Church believe in the Dormition of the Mother of God (Dormition of
the Theotokos or "the Falling Asleep of the Mother of God"),
whether Mary had a physical death has not been dogmatically
defined. In Munificentissimus Deus (item 39) Pope Pius XII pointed
to the Book of Genesis (3:15) as scriptural support for the dogma
in terms of Mary's victory over sin and death through her intimate
association with "the new Adam" (Christ) as also
reflected in 1 Corinthians 15:54: "then shall come to pass
the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory".
The New Testament contains no explicit narrative about the death
or dormition, nor of the Assumption of Mary, but several
scriptural passages have been theologically interpreted to
describe the ultimate fate in this and the afterworld of the
Mother of Jesus. Various apocryphal documents do contain
narrations of the event. On this same day, November 1, 1950, as
well as on October 30, October 31 and November 8, Pope Pius XII
witnessed from the Vatican gardens what he himself attest to as
being the same "Miracle Of The Sun", the same phenomena
that became known as The Miracle Of Fatima or The Fatima Object,
witnessed by an estimated 70,000 people in the Cova da Iria in
Fatima, Portugal on October 13, 1917, and the Pope affirmed that
he believed this sightings were a heavenly confirmation that his
contemplation at that very moment in time to declare the
Assumption of Mary as Catholic dogma was correct and had heavenly
approval. At a gathering on October 13, 1951 at Fatima, the papal
legate, Cardinal Federico Tedeschini, told the million people
attending that these sightings had occurred; the Pope himself
attested to this in his own handwritten, unpublished note, which
was publicly displayed by the Vatican as part of the "Pius
XII: The Man and the Pontificate" display in 2004, in which
Pius XII wrote, "I have seen the 'Miracle Of The Sun,' this
is the pure truth." The note was found in the Pacelli family
archives. It describes the "Miracle Of The Sun," an
episode that until today had only been affirmed by the indirect
testimony of Cardinal Federico Tedeschini (1873-1959), who
recounted in a homily that the Holy Father had seen the miracle.
The Miracle Of The Sun is most known as the episode that occurred
in Fatima, Portugal, on Oct. 13, 1917. According to the Fatima
visionaries, Mary had said there would be a miracle that day so
that people would come to believe. Thousands had gathered at the
site of the visions, and the sun "danced," reportedly
drying instantaneously the rain-soaked land and spectators. Pius
XII's note says that he saw the miracle in the year he was to
proclaim the dogma of the Assumption, 1950, while he walked in the
Vatican Gardens. He said he saw the phenomenon various times,
considering it a confirmation of his plan to declare the dogma.
The papal note says that at 4 p.m. on Oct. 30, 1950, during his
"habitual walk in the Vatican Gardens, reading and studying,"
having arrived to the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, "toward
the top of the hill [_] I was awestruck by a phenomenon that
before now I had never seen." "The sun, which was still
quite high, looked like a pale, opaque sphere, entirely surrounded
by a luminous circle," he recounted. And one could look at
the sun, "without the slightest bother. There was a very
light little cloud in front of it." The Holy Father's note
goes on to describe "the opaque sphere" that "moved
outward slightly, either spinning, or moving from left to right
and vice versa. But within the sphere, you could see marked
movements with total clarity and without interruption." Pius
XII said he saw the same phenomenon "the 31st of October and
Nov. 1, the day of the definition of the dogma of the Assumption,
and then again Nov. 8, and after that, no more." The Pope
acknowledged that on other days at about the same hour, he tried
to see if the phenomenon would be repeated, "but in vain - I
couldn't fix my gaze [on the sun] for even an instant; my eyes
would be dazzled." Pius XII spoke about the incident with a
few cardinals and close collaborators, such that Sister Pascalina
Lehnert, the nun in charge of the papal apartments, declared that
"Pius XII was very convinced of the reality of the
extraordinary phenomenon, which he had seen on four occasions."
There was always a close link between the life of Eugenio Pacelli
and the mystery of the Virgin Mary. Since childhood, Eugenio
Pacelli was devoted [to Our Lady] and was registered in the
Congregation of the Assumption, which had a chapel close to the
Church of Jesus. A devotion that seemed prophetic, since he would
be precisely the one to declare the dogma of the Assumption in
1950." The future Pope celebrated his first Mass on April 3,
1899, at the altar of the icon of Mary "Salus Populi Romani"
in the Basilica of St. Mary Major. "And then," Tornielli
continued, "Eugenio Pacelli received episcopal ordination
from Pope Benedict XV in the Sistine Chapel on May 13, 1917, the
day of the first apparition of the Virgin of Fatima." As
Pope, in 1940, he approved the Fatima apparitions, and in 1942,
consecrated the entire world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. As
well, Pius XII often spoke with Sister Lucia, the visionary of
Fatima, and he asked her to transcribe the messages she received
from the Virgin. He thus became the first Pope to know the "third
secret of Fatima," which Pope John Paul II would later make
public. On October 13, 1917: The "Miracle Of The Sun",
also known as The Miracle Of Fatima or The Fatima Object, was by
30,000 to 100,000 people gathered near Fatima, Portugal. Several
newspaper reporters were in attendance and they took testimony
from many people who claimed to have witnessed extraordinary solar
activity. According to these reports, the event lasted
approximately ten minutes. The three children (Lucia dos Santos,
Jacinta Marto and Francisco Marto) who originally claimed to have
seen Our Lady Of Fatima also reported seeing a panorama of
visions, including those of Jesus, Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady
of Mt. Carmel, and of Saint Joseph blessing the people. The event
was officially accepted as a miracle by the Catholic Church on
October 13 1930. It is believed by some researchers to be a disc
shaped Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). On Sale @ 15% Off

Presidential Assassination Attempts And Plots: United States
Presidential Assassination Attempts And Plots: The Attempted
Assassinations Of Harry S. Truman: The Second Attempted
Assassination Of Harry S. Truman: -- Harry S. Truman is the target
of an unsuccessful assassination attempt by Griselio Torresola and
Oscar Collazo, Puerto Rican Nationalist Party members, at the
President's temporary residence during White House renovations,
Blair House. Both men were stopped before gaining entry to the
house. Torresola mortally wounded White House Police officer
Leslie Coffelt, who killed him in return fire. Secret Service
agents wounded Collazo. President Harry S. Truman was upstairs in
the house and not harmed. In the 1940s, the Nationalist Party of
Puerto Rico had little political power in the country, where
voters had elected the Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico
(PPD) as the majority in the legislature. Nationalists believed
that Puerto Rico suffered under American colonialism and wanted
independence. The Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico (PPD)
was supporting negotiations with the United States to create a
"new" political status for the island. The Puerto Rican
Nationalist Party Revolts of the 1950s were an armed protest for
independence from United States Government rule over Puerto Rico.
The Party repudiated the "Free Associated State" (Estado
Libre Asociado) status that had been enacted in 1950, as the
Nationalists considered it to be a continuation of colonialism.
The revolts began on October 30, 1950, upon the orders of Pedro
Albizu Campos, president of the Nationalist Party. Uprisings
occurred in Penuelas, Mayaguez, Naranjito, Arecibo and Ponce. The
most notable uprisings occurred in Utuado, Jayuya, and San Juan.
These were suppressed by strong military force, including the use
of planes. In New York City, Nationalists Griselio Torresola and
Oscar Collazo developed a plan to assassinate President Harry S.
Truman in order to raise awareness of the drive for independence.
They wanted to show that the October 30 uprising had not been an
"incident between Puerto Ricans" as described by
President Truman, but was an act of rebellion and war between two
countries. They had learned that Truman was living at the Blair
House, while the White House was renovated. The two men realized
that their attempt was near-suicidal, and that they likely would
be killed. They wanted to bring world attention to the government
killings of rebels and associates in Puerto Rico, and the drive
for independence. Torresola, a skilled gunman, taught Collazo how
to load and handle the guns they would use, as his experience had
been with other types. They took the train from New York to
Washington, DC to reconnoiter the area. On November 1, 1950, they
moved into action. Torresola approached Blair House, located on
Pennsylvania Avenue, from the west side, while Collazo walked up
behind Capitol police officer, Donald Birdzell, who was standing
on the steps of the Blair House. President Truman was napping in
his quarters on the second floor. Collazo tried to shoot Birdzell
in the back, but had failed to chamber a round in his pistol, and
the gun did not fire. Collazo chambered a round and fired the
weapon just as Birdzell was turning to face him, and shot the
officer in his right knee. After hearing the gunshots, Secret
Service agent Vincent Mroz ran through a basement corridor,
stepping out of a street-level door on the east side of the House,
where he opened fire on Collazo. Mroz stopped Collazo with a
bullet to the chest while he was on the entrance steps. Two other
officers also shot Collazo, in what was described as "the
biggest gunfight in Secret Service history." Meanwhile,
Torresola had approached a guard booth at the west corner, where
he took White House Police officer Leslie Coffelt by surprise,
shooting four times at close range and mortally wounding him with
a 9_19mm German Luger. Three of those shots struck Coffelt in the
chest and abdomen; the fourth went through his tunic. Torresola
shot police officer Joseph Downs in the hip, before he could draw
his weapon. As Downs turned toward the house, Torresola shot him
in the back and in the neck. Downs got into the basement and
secured the door, denying the attacker entry into the Blair House.
Torresola moved to the shoot-out between his partner Collazo and
several other police officers, shooting officer Donald Birdzell in
the left knee. Birdzell could no longer stand and was effectively
incapacitated, although he would later recover. Torresola was
standing to the left of the Blair House steps to reload when
President Truman looked outside his second floor window, 31 feet
(9.4 m) from the attacker. Secret Service agents shouted at Truman
to get away from the window. At that same moment, Coffelt left the
guard booth, propped against it, and fired his .38-caliber service
revolver at Torresola, about 30 feet (10 m) away. Coffelt hit
Torresola 2 inches (50 mm) above the ear, killing him instantly.
Coffelt limped back to the booth and blacked out. Taken to the
hospital, Coffelt died four hours later. The gunfight involving
Torresola lasted approximately 20 seconds, while the gunfight with
Collazo lasted approximately 38.5 seconds. Only one of Collazo's
shots hit anyone, largely because Collazo was not a skilled or
experienced gunman. Torresola, an expert shooter, did most of the
shooting and inflicted almost all of the injuries on the Secret
Service officers. Afterwards, Truman commented that he was not
frightened by the attack: since he was a combat veteran of the
First World War, he "had [already] been shot at by
professionals [i.e. German soldiers]." President Truman and
the Secretary Of State Dean Acheson asked Coffelt's widow, Cressie
E. Coffelt, to go to Puerto Rico, where she received condolences
from various Puerto Rican leaders and crowds. Mrs. Coffelt
responded with a speech absolving the island's people of blame for
the acts of Collazo and Torresola. Oscar Collazo was convicted in
federal court and sentenced to death, which Truman commuted to a
life sentence. While in prison, he gave an interview telling of
his long devotion to the Nationalist Party and cause of Puerto
Rican independence. When he was a young man in 1932, he heard
Pedro Albizu Campos give a speech about American imperialism,
saying that American research doctor Cornelius P. Rhoads had
written an outrageous letter appearing to brag about killing
Puerto Ricans in experiments. (Cornelius Packard "Dusty"
Rhoads (June 9, 1898-August 13, 1959) was an American pathologist,
oncologist, and hospital administrator who was involved in a
racism and unethical human experimentation scandal and subsequent
whitewashing in the 1930s. Beginning in 1940, he served as
director of Memorial Hospital for Cancer Research in New York,
from 1945 was the first director of Sloan-Kettering Institute, and
the first director of the combined Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center. For his contributions to cancer research, Rhoads was
featured on the cover of the June 27, 1949 issue of Time magazine
under the title "Cancer Fighter".) In 1979, President
Jimmy Carter commuted the sentence of Collazo to the time served,
and the former revolutionary was released. He returned to live in
Puerto Rico, where he died in 1994. At the time of the
assassination attempt, the FBI arrested Collazo's wife, Rosa, on
suspicion of having conspired with her husband in the plan. She
spent eight months in federal prison but did not go to trial. Upon
her release, Rosa continued to work with the Nationalist Party.
She helped gather 100,000 signatures in an effort to save her
husband from execution. Acknowledging the importance of the
question of Puerto Rico's status, Truman supported a plebiscite in
Puerto Rico in 1952 on the new constitution to determine its
relationship to the U.S. The people voted 81.9% in favor of
continuing as a Free Associated State, as established in 1950.
Inside the Blair House, a plaque was installed to commemorate
White House Police officer Leslie Coffelt. The day room for the
U.S. Secret Service's Uniformed Division at the Blair House is
named for Coffelt as well. (NOTE: The First Attempted
Assassination Of Harry S. Truman occurred in the summer of 1947,
when a letter bomb was sent to Truman by the Stern Gang (Official
name: Lohamei Herut Israel (Lehi), "Fighters For The Freedom
Of Israel") a Zionist paramilitary organization founded by
Avraham ("Yair") Stern in Mandatory Palestine that used
terrorist means in its action (whose notable members included
Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir among others), at the same time
they had sent similar such letter bombs to Anthony Eden, Ernest
Bevin and others. This attempt was revealed by Margaret Truman
Daniel, the daughter of President Trumn, in a 1972 biography of
her father entitled "Harry S. Truman". On Sale @ 15% Off

War II: The Cold War: Nuclear Warfare: Nuclear Weapons Testing:
American Nuclear Warfare: American Nuclear Weapons Testing:
Operation Ivy: Ivy Mike: -- History's first thermonuclear device
(Hydrogen Bomb, H-Bomb) is detonated at the Elugelab Atoll in the
Eniwetok Proving Grounds in the Pacific Marshall Islands in the
now independent island nation of the Marshall Islands. The
explosion had a yield of ten megatons TNT equivalent. Ivy Mike was
the codename given to the first full-scale test of a thermonuclear
device, in which part of the explosive yield comes from nuclear
fusion. It was the first full test of the Teller-Ulam design, a
staged fusion device. Due to its physical size and fusion fuel
type (cryogenic liquid deuterium), the "Mike" device was
not suitable for use as a deliverable weapon. It was intended as a
"technically conservative" proof of concept experiment
to validate the concepts used for multi-megaton detonations. As a
result of the collection of samples from the explosion by U.S. Air
force pilots (one of whom died in the process), scientists found
traces of the isotopes plutonium-246 and plutonium-244, and
confirmed the existence of the predicted but undiscovered elements
einsteinium and fermium. ========= November 1, 1951: The Aftermath
Of World War II: The Cold War: Nuclear Warfare: Nuclear Weapons
Testing: American Nuclear Warfare: American Nuclear Weapons
Testing: Operation Buster-Jangle: -- A series of seven (six
atmospheric, one cratering) nuclear weapons tests conducted by the
United States in late 1951 at the Nevada Test Site during
Operation Buster-Jangle, the first joint test program between the
U.S. Department of Defense (Operation Buster) and Los Alamos
National Laboratories (Operation Jangle). As part of Operation
Buster, six thousand five hundred American soldiers are exposed to
the "Desert Rock" atomic explosions of the Operation
Desert Rock I, II, and III exercises for training purposes in
Nevada. Participation is not voluntary. Operation Jangle, the last
two tests, evaluated the cratering effects of low-yield nuclear
devices. This series preceded Operation Tumbler-Snapper and
followed Operation Greenhouse. Four U.S. Army units took part in
the Operation Buster-Jangle "Dog" test of Desert Rock I
for combat maneuvers after the detonation of a nuclear weapon took
place. These units consisted of: 1st Battalion 188th Airborne
Infantry Regiment 11th Airborne Division; 3rd Medical Platoon
188th Airborne Medical Company; Platoon Company A 127th Engineer
Battalion; and Battery C 546th Field Artillery Battalion.
Personnel were instructed to create foxholes, construct gun
emplacements and bunkers in a defensive position 11 km south of
the detonation area. After the nuclear bomb was detonated, the
troops were ordered to move forward towards the affected area.
While traveling closer to ground zero, troops witnessed the
nuclear weapon's effects on the fortifications that were placed in
the location in preparation for the tests. The ground troops got
as close as 900 meters from ground zero before they were
instructed to move out of the area. The Human Resources Research
Office was tasked with gathering data on the psychological
experiences of the troops after witnessing such a detonation and
moving closer towards the affected area. For the Operation
Buster-Jangle series of tests, the Atomic Energy Commission
created a set of criteria that must be followed if exposing armed
forces, or civilians to the harmful effects of ionizing radiation:
Orientation and proper radiological training; Dispersion of
dosimeters amongst personnel; Utilization of radiological
protective equipment and clothing; Active monitoring of
radiological levels; Briefing of personnel taking part in the
exercise; and Decontamination of radioactive debris. A majority of
the personnel that took part in the exercise received around 3
Roentgens of radiation, with pilots receiving an average of 3.9
Roentgens. These estimates vary given the differing data provided
by the Department of Defense over the years. ========= November 1,
1962: The Aftermath Of World War II: The Cold War: Nuclear
Warfare: Nuclear Weapons Testing: American Nuclear Warfare:
American Nuclear Weapons Testing: Operation Fishbowl: -- The
Kingfish detonation occurrs at 0210 Johnston Island time, becoming
the fourth successful detonation of the Fishbowl series. It was
officially reported only as being a submegaton explosion (meaning
in the range of more than 200 kilotons, but less than a megaton),
but most independent observers believe that it used the same 400
kiloton warhead as the Bluegill Triple Prime test, although one
report by the U.S. federal government reported the test yield as
200 kilotons. As with the other Fishbowl tests, a number of small
rockets with various scientific instrumentation were launched from
Johnson Island to monitor the effects of the high-altitude
explosion. In the case of the Kingfish test, 29 rockets were
launched from Johnston Island in addition to the Thor rocket
carrying the nuclear warhead. According to the official report, at
the time of the Kingfish detonation, "Johnston Island
observers saw a yellow-white, luminous circle with intense purple
streamers for the first minute. Some of the streamers displayed
what appeared to be a rapid twisting motion at times. A large
pale-green patch appeared somewhat south of the burst and grew,
becoming the dominant visible feature after 5 minutes. By H+1 the
green had become dull gray, but the feature persisted for 3 hours.
At Oahu a bright flash was observed and after about 10 seconds a
great white ball appeared to rise slowly out of the sea and was
visible for about 9 minutes." After most of the
electromagnetic pulse measurements on Starfish Prime had failed
because the EMP was so much larger than expected, extra care was
taken to obtain accurate EMP measurements on the Bluegill Triple
Prime and Kingfish tests. The EMP mechanism that had been
hypothesized before Operation Fishbowl had been conclusively
disproven by the Starfish Prime test. Prompt gamma ray output
measurements on these later tests were also carefully obtained so
that a new theory of the mechanism for high-altitude EMP could be
developed and confirmed. That new theory about the generation of
nuclear EMP was developed by Los Alamos physicist Conrad Longmire
in 1963, and it is the high-altitude nuclear EMP theory that is
still used today. As of the beginning of 2011, the EMP waveforms
and prompt gamma radiation outputs for Bluegill Triple Prime and
Kingfish remain classified. An unclassified report, however,
confirms that these measurements were successfully made and that a
subsequent theory (which is the one now used) was developed which
describes the mechanism by which the high-altitude EMP is
generated. That new theory does give results which are consistent
with both the Bluegill Triple Prime and Kingfish data. (The report
actually using the Bluegill Triple Prime and Kingfish data to
confirm the new EMP theory is the still-classified Part 2 of the
unclassified report by Conrad Longmire.) According to a Sandia
National Laboratories report, EMP generated during the Operation
Fishbowl tests caused "... input circuit troubles in radio
receivers during the Starfish and Checkmate bursts; the triggering
of surge arresters on an airplane with a trailing-wire antenna
during Starfish, Checkmate, and Bluegill; and the Oahu streetlight
incident." (The "Oahu Streetlight Incident" refers
to the 300 streetlights in Honolulu extinguished by the Starfish
Prime detonation.) On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

keel of the world's first operational nuclear-powered ballistic
missile submarine, the USS George Washington, is laid down at the
Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics in Groton, Connecticut.
She was originally laid down as the attack submarine USS Scorpion
(SSN-589). During construction, she was lengthened by the
insertion of a 130 ft (40 m)-long ballistic missile section and
renamed George Washington. Because the ballistic missile
compartment design of George Washington was intended to be reused
in later ship classes, the section inserted into George Washington
was designed with a deeper test depth rating than the rest of the
submarine. She was launched on June 9, 1959, sponsored by Mrs.
Ollie Mae Anderson (nee Rawlins), wife of US Treasury Secretary
and former Secretary of the Navy Robert B. Anderson. She was
commissioned on December 30, 1959 as SSBN-598 with Commander James
B. Osborn in command of the Blue crew (the crew that staffed her
during her first deterrent patrol) and Commander John L. From, Jr.
in command of the Gold crew (the shakedown crew). The first and
lead ship of her class of nuclear ballistic missile submarines,
she was the third United States Navy ship of the name, in honor of
Founding Father George Washington (1732-1799), the first president
of the United States, and was the first of that name to be

November 1: World Vegan Day: -- World
Vegan Day is celebrated on November 1 and it amazes us to see how
far this movement has come! Remember when veganism appeared to
have started off just as a diet fad (even though it's been
practiced for millennia)? What was apparently a "fad"
then eventually grew into a lifestyle option! The joys and
benefits of veganism are advocated on this dedicated day,
highlighting just how easy it is to go for this cruelty-free
lifestyle as well as generate awareness on rights for our furry
friends. Vegans of note include Benjamin Spock, Berry Gordy, Don
Imus, Casey Kasem, Coretta Scott King, Carl Lewis, Peter Max,
Brian May, Demi Moore, Al Gore, Larry Hagman, Cory Booker, Lenny
Kravitz, James Cameron, Cesar Chavez, Linda Blair, Daryl Hannah,
Woody Harrelson, Joaquin Phoenix, Greta Thunberg, Natalie Portman,
Robin Quivers, Adam Schiff, Kevin Smith, Rob Zombie -- even
Mahatma Gandhi would be considered a vegan! ! Even though veganism
calls for the rejection of all animal-based products, a
plant-based diet is the best way to encourage this change; with
thousands of delicious vegan recipes or altered versions of meat
and dairy dishes posted online. Across the globe, this day is
celebrated exuberantly through exhibitions, seminars, restaurant
specials, and events. This one day allows countless opportunities
for vegans to promote their lifestyle as well as for anyone
wishing to adopt it. But this green movement did not just begin
with herbivores. In 1944, two members of 'The Vegetarian Society
UK' - Donald Watson and Elise Shrigley, were at crossroads with
the club. In addition to removing meat from their daily intake,
they also avoided products made from or tested on animals. Yet,
the society did not recognize their lifestyle as unique, leading
the pair to create 'The Vegan Society.' In honor of the 50th
birthday celebration of The Vegan Society in 1994, UK celebrity
and then Chairman of the Vegan Society - Louise Wallis, decided to
commemorate November 1 as World Vegan Day. The terms vegan and
veganism were also coined by him. While deciding on a date, there
was a lot of ambiguity as to which date exactly in 1944 was The
Vegan Society founded. Aware of Halloween and Day of the Dead,
Wallis selected the first of November. The rest, as they say, is
history. The movement has been gaining traction lately, with a lot
of its popularity owed to prominent celebrities who have committed
to veganism over the past few years. Included among these are
Ellen DeGeneres, Zac Effron, Ariana Grande, Pamela Anderson, and
many more. The most challenging shift towards veganism has been
for food chains. Fortunately, what was once thought of as a
finicky diet, is now widely available at restaurants and
supermarkets, offering a plethora of plant-based alternatives.
Fast-food chains like KFC and Burger King also offer vegan burgers
now, so we can all let out a sigh of relief now and still get our
fast food fix. https://store.earthstation1.com/kebrcoflkibi.html

Today we're excited to be celebrating one of the world's ancient
spices. Did you know that cinnamon, according to Chinese medicine,
can be used to treat illnesses both minor and major? Cinnamon has
been around for over 4,000 years! No wonder we can get a lot of
healthiness out of it. National Cinnamon Day celebrates one of the
most popular holiday spices. It is quite impossible to think of
the holidays without the aroma of cinnamon popping into one's
head. From cookies, rolls, and teas to pies and chocolates,
cinnamon exists in almost every holiday snack, meal, and beverage.
McCormick spices founded National Cinnamon Day in 2019. The
holiday encourages us to make new memories and share the warmth
cinnamon brings with it. It is dedicated to celebrating the
versatile nature of cinnamon by highlighting its deliciousness and
plethora of health benefits. Cinnamon is obtained from the dried
inner bark of several tree species in the Laurel family
('Lauraceae'). We use the sticks or the powder form for everything
consumable. Even though initially hidden for market gains,
cinnamon has been around for very long, even though there are many
myths and theories surrounding how it is sourced. Presently,
Indonesia and China are the major producers, making up for 70% of
the worldwide production. At the same time, the rest of the world
focuses on creating new recipes, finding new uses, and exploring
the health benefits of cinnamon. The world has generated the many
directions of cinnamon; from producing to consuming to selling -
it is a commodity everywhere.

Today, November 1, 2025November 1: National Brush Day: -- That's
brush as in "brush your teeth" day! Since eating sweets
is the number one contributor to tooth decay, our loading up on
sugary treats during Halloween makes it time to remind your kids
about the importance of taking care of their teeth. Today helps
focus on children's oral heath through facts about brushing,
activities to make brushing fun, and tips to keep those teeth nice
and healthy. We're here to help you show your kids that brushing
doesn't have to be a chore! National Brush Day is a fun reminder
for families to take care of their teeth. Celebrated the day after
Halloween, this day encourages kids and parents to brush their
teeth. After enjoying lots of candy, it's a perfect time to focus
on oral health. Families are urged to brush for two minutes twice
a day, making dental care a daily habit. National Brush Day
promotes good dental hygiene among children. Tooth decay is a
common issue, and this day aims to reduce it. By emphasizing
brushing after Halloween, the day helps prevent cavities caused by
sugary treats. It also provides a chance for parents to teach
their kids proper brushing techniques. Families can make brushing
a fun activity. Using colorful toothbrushes, playing toothbrushing
songs, or having brushing competitions can keep kids engaged.
National Brush Day highlights that taking care of teeth can be
enjoyable and essential for a healthy smile?. National Brush Day
started in 2013 as an extension of the Kids' Healthy Mouths
campaign. The Partnership for Healthy Mouths, Healthy Lives, and
the Ad Council launched this campaign in August 2012. They wanted
to help parents teach kids to brush their teeth properly. The day
after Halloween was chosen to remind families about dental care
after enjoying lots of candy? Dental health is a significant
concern in the United States. Tooth decay is the most common
chronic childhood disease. Many kids miss school due to dental
problems, and parents miss work, too. National Brush Day aims to
address these issues by promoting good brushing habits among
children. Brushing twice a day for two minutes can make a big
difference?.The campaign was successful. More than 1.5 million
people visited the campaign's website in its first year. The Ad
Council's survey showed that more kids were brushing their teeth
at the recommended time. National Brush Day continues to encourage
families to focus on dental health every November 1st.

Science experiments and home remedies, a cooking staple and a sour
smell. Today we're talking about and celebrating one of the
mysteries of the kitchen that seems as at home under the sink as
it does in the pantry: Vinegar. With so many uses, benefits, and
recipes, it's no wonder why the whole country will be celebrating

vinegar is, could you explain it? This typically falls under the
umbrella of information we file away in the "things we say we
know but hope no one will ask about" folder, along with how
pineapples grow and how magnets work. In short, vinegar is made by
fermenting something passed the point of an alcoholic drink until
it's acidic. This is why we have different kinds of vinegars, just
as we have different kinds of wines and liqueurs. So get ready to
try something new and learn more about this complex concoction we
rarely think twice about.

devoted to celebrating and supporting the legacy of John H.
Johnson Day and his a museum (his childhood home) named in

Today, November 1, 2025November 1: National Authors' Day: -- We
all have that book - or two - that we can't get enough of, and
this holiday gives us the chance to appreciate the brilliant minds
that created them. A book is similar to a drug; it can be an
escape, albeit temporary, from the stresses of life. This November
1, celebrate National Author's Day by curling up with your
favorite book, a hot beverage, and spending time drifting into
another world. In order to appreciate the writers who help inspire
us, it's important to get a sense of the time, blood, sweat, and
tears that go into getting words on the page. Whether it's
fiction, fantasy, or biographies, books play a major role in our
lives and we must celebrate their creators! Today, take a moment
to appreciate the author(s) that spent countless hours writing
your favorite books. The renowned French philosopher, Michel
Foucault, once asked, "What is an author?" He argued
that the idea of authorship - of accrediting the work to a single
individual - has deep effects on its interpretation by the reader.
Further, heady, philosophical arguments ensued but the bottom line
remains - authors are creators, through and through. They are,
more or less, the ones who have written novels, poems, graphic
novels, textbooks, and so much more. From William Shakespeare
being the most famous of authors (and, debatably, a number of
authors operating under one pen name), back in the 1500s,
enthralling and satirizing royalty and common people in ways that
still resonate today; all the way to J.K. Rowling and Stephen
King, who can create both fantastical and horrifying worlds and
landscapes that allow us to reflect and provide insight on our own
more mundane realities. Regardless of what time period or where
they're from, authors have always had the ability to teach,
entertain, and move us - even back to old, blind Homer, telling
his "Odyssey" without even writing it down. That brings
us back to Foucault's question. Homer never actually wrote a word.
He recited his poems aloud to whoever would listen and, as he
gained followers, they committed his words to paper. Yet history
has forgotten the writers and gifted us Homer as the author of the
"Iliad" and the "Odyssey". So what is an
author? Well, historically and permanently, it's someone who uses
their words to move their followers. Writers conduct in-depth
research and, in many cases, spend years perfecting what we
eventually read. That's years of drafting, editing, revising, and
rewriting these stories that captivate us. They deserve all the
thanks we can offer. In 1928, the president of the Illinois
Women's Club, Nellie Verne Burt McPherson, came up with the idea
to create a day that recognized American authors. She was an
educator and quite an avid reader. The inspiration for the holiday
came while she was in the hospital during the First World War. She
had just read Irving Bacheller's "Eben Holden's Last Day
A-Fishing" and sent a letter to him expressing her love for
the book. After receiving the letter, he responded by forwarding a
signed copy of another one of his stories to her. McPherson,
overwhelmed by his generosity, thought of a way to repay the
gesture. She concluded that a National day for authors would do
the trick and presented the idea to the Generation Federation of
Women's Clubs. The club approved, and in May 1929, issued an
endorsement to celebrate American Authors on National Author's
Day. The U.S. Department of Commerce acknowledged National
Author's Day in 1949. Although it took 20 years, McPherson's
vision finally became a reality and the holiday has been
celebrated across the country every year since. McPherson's
granddaughter, Sue Cole, took on the responsibility of promoting
the holiday when her grandmother passed away in 1968. She urges
people to send appreciation notes to their favorite authors to
celebrate their contributions towards making life easier. The idea
is to recognize all the people who have contributed to American
literature.

Today, November 1, 2025November 1: National Family Literacy Day:
-- Families, gather around! Families who read together succeed
together. There are more reasons than ever before for families to
read aloud to their children from a young age. Besides the fact
that reading creates quiet, quality family time, it develops early
vocabulary skills. It expands their attention span and yours. Read
chapter books even to your youngest child. They may drift off to
sleep, but they are listening and their attention span will
lengthen. It's free. Books can be checked out from the library.
You can read well above a child's level, and they will still
listen and comprehend. It improves listening skills. It's
portable. Reading is a tool that can never be unlearned. Once a
child learns to read, they never stop. You'll know because you'll
have to stop spelling certain words to your spouse. It improves
imagination and creativity. Reading opens up a dialogue between
parent and child. Celebrated across America, this day focuses on
special activities and events that showcase the importance of
family literacy programs. Attend a program or activity at a school
or library near you. Get together with family and read a book
together.

all look at the world in our own unique ways. However, people with
autism experience the world differently from most of us. They
approach the world in often novel ways. Maybe one of the most
important ways we all connect to and understand the world is
through communication. Today encourages autistic people to tell
their stories using whatever means works for them. And everyone
else is encouraged to listen, hear, read and comprehend their
stories from their point of view. On November 1, autistic people
will flood the internet with their challenges and their
celebrations, their interests and their dislikes. They will speak
about their rights and advocacy in many languages. Some may speak
with art, others with poetry or memes. They may also be speaking
through podcasts. Their words and stories may be difficult to
hear, but they will be speaking. But, most importantly, they will
be speaking about themselves for themselves. And if you want to
understand, it will be a day for you to listen.

Today, November 1, 2025November 1: Chronology: Calendars: The
Months Of The Year: -- November begins, eleventh month of the year
in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the latter being the most
widely used calendar in the world. November succeeds October and
precedes December. November is a month of late autumn in the
Northern Hemisphere and late spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
November retained its name (from Latin and Greek octo meaning
"nine") because it was the 9th month in the original
ten-month Roman calendar under Romulus in 753 BC, with March being
the first month of the year. About 700 BC, it became the eleventh
month when January and February were added to the year before
March by King Numa Pompilius. Ancient Roman observances for
November include Ludi Plebeii (Latin, "The Plebeian Games"),
held from November 4 to November 17; Epulum Jovis, a ritual feast
of The Ides Of November held on November 13; and Brumalia, a
winter solstice festival celebrated in the eastern part of the
Roman Empire, begin on November 24. Among the Anglo-Saxons,
November was known as Blotmonath (Anglo Saxon: Blot, "Sacrifice"
and Monath, "Month"), because it was in this month that
the cattle which were to be offered as sacrifices to the gods were
slaughtered. October corresponds partly to the month of Brumaire
and partly to the month of Frimaire of The French Republican
Calendar. October's birthstones are topaz, especially yellow
topaz, and citrine, a transparent and yellow variety of quartz:
Its birth flower is the chrysanthemum sometimes abbreviated to
"mums" or "chrysanths". The zodiac signs are
Scorpio (until November 22) and Sagittarius (from then on).

Today, November 1, 2025November 1, 1871: #BOTD: #HBD! Stephen
Crane, American poet, novelist, and short story writer (d. June 5,
1900) is #born in Newark, New Jersey, to Jonathan Townley Crane, a
minister in the Methodist Episcopal church, and Mary Helen Peck
Crane, daughter of a clergyman, George Peck. Prolific throughout
his short life, he wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as
well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism.
He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative
writers of his generation. The ninth surviving child of Methodist
parents, Crane began writing at the age of four and had published
several articles by the age of 16. Having little interest in
university studies though he was active in a fraternity, he left
Syracuse University in 1891 to work as a reporter and writer.
Crane's first novel was the 1893 Bowery tale Maggie: A Girl of the
Streets, generally considered by critics to be the first work of
American literary Naturalism. He won international acclaim in 1895
for his Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage, which he wrote
without having any battle experience. In 1896, Crane endured a
highly publicized scandal after appearing as a witness in the
trial of a suspected prostitute, an acquaintance named Dora Clark.
Late that year he accepted an offer to travel to Cuba as a war
correspondent. As he waited in Jacksonville, Florida for passage,
he met Cora Taylor, with whom he began a lasting relationship. En
route to Cuba, Crane's vessel the SS Commodore sank off the coast
of Florida, leaving him and others adrift for 30 hours in a
dinghy. Crane described the ordeal in "The Open Boat".
During the final years of his life, he covered conflicts in Greece
(accompanied by Cora, recognized as the first woman war
correspondent) and later lived in England with her. He was
befriended by writers such as Joseph Conrad and H. G. Wells.
Plagued by financial difficulties and ill health, Crane died of
tuberculosis in a Black Forest sanatorium in Germany at the age of
28 after being plagued for some time by financial difficulties and
ill health. He is buried at Evergreen Cemetery, Hillside, New
Jersey. At the time of his death, Crane was considered an
important figure in American literature. After he was nearly
forgotten for two decades, critics revived interest in his life
and work. Crane's writing is characterized by vivid intensity,
distinctive dialects, and irony. Common themes involve fear,
spiritual crises and social isolation. Although recognized
primarily for The Red Badge of Courage, which has become an
American classic, Crane is also known for his poetry, journalism,
and short stories such as "The Open Boat", "The
Blue Hotel", "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky", and
'The Monster'. His writing made a deep impression on 20th-century
writers, most prominent among them Ernest Hemingway, and is
thought to have inspired the Modernists and the Imagists.

War I: The Naval Order Of 24 October 1918: The Wilhelmshaven
Mutiny: The Kiel Mutiny: -- Some 250 sailors and stokers of the
German Third Navy Squadron meet in the evening at the Union House
in Kiel, seeking to prevent the German High Seas Fleet from
setting sail to fight the Royal Navy, and to organize the release
of their comrades who had been arrested in the aftermath of the
Wilhelmshaven Mutiny. Delegations were sent to their commanding
officers requesting the mutineers' release, but they were not
heard. The sailors then sought to obtain the support of the
unions, the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD)
and the Social Democrats (SPD). In response, the police closed to
Union House, which led to an even larger joint open-air meeting
the following day, November 2, at the large drill ground (Grosser
Exerzierplatz). On the night of the October 29-30, 1918, the
German High Seas Fleet was incapacitated when some crews refused
to obey orders and sailors on board three ships from the Third
Navy Squadron refused to weigh anchor, an action which would
trigger The German Revolution Of 1918-1919 and speed the end of
the First World War. Part of the crew on SMS Thuringen and SMS
Helgoland, two battleships from the First Navy Squadron, committed
outright mutiny and sabotage. However, when a day later some
torpedo boats pointed their cannons at these ships, the mutineers
gave up and were led away without any resistance. Nevertheless,
the naval command had to drop its action plans as it was felt that
the crew's loyalty could no longer be relied upon. The Third Navy
Squadron was ordered back to Kiel. The squadron commander,
Vizeadmiral Hugo Kraft, exercised a maneuver with his battleships
in the Heligoland Bight. When it "functioned perfectly
(tadellos funktionierte)" he believed he was master of his
crews again. While moving through the Kiel Canal he had 47 sailors
from the Markgraf, who were seen as the ringleaders, imprisoned.
In Holtenau (end of the canal in Kiel) they were brought to the
Arrestanstalt (the military prison in Kiel) and to Fort Herwarth
in the north of Kiel. The German Revolution or November Revolution
(German: Novemberrevolution) was a civil conflict in the German
Empire at the end of the First World War that resulted in the
replacement of the German federal constitutional monarchy with a
democratic parliamentary republic that later became known as the
Weimar Republic. The revolutionary period lasted from November
1918 until the adoption in August 1919 of the Weimar Constitution.
The causes of the revolution were the extreme burdens suffered by
the population during the four years of war, the strong impact of
the defeat on the German Empire and the social tensions between
the general population and the elite of aristocrats and
bourgeoisie who held power and had just lost the war. The first
acts of revolution were triggered by the policies of the German
Supreme Command of the Army and its lack of coordination with the
Naval Command. In the face of defeat, the Naval Command insisted
on trying to precipitate a climactic battle with the British Royal
Navy by means of its naval order of October 24, 1918. The battle
never took place; instead of obeying their orders to begin
preparations to fight the British, German sailors led a revolt in
the naval ports of Wilhelmshaven on October 29, 1918, followed by
the Kiel Mutiny in the first days of November. These disturbances
spread the spirit of civil unrest across Germany, and ultimately
led to the proclamation of a republic on November 9 1918. Shortly
thereafter, Emperor Wilhelm II abdicated his throne and fled the
country.

Kamehameha I: King Of The Hawaiian Islands MP4 Video Download Or
DVD
Today, November 1, 2025November 1, 1758 (Traditional; Birthdate
Unknown, c. 1736 - c. 1761): #BOTD: #HBD! Kamehameha I, also known
as Kamehameha The Great, conqueror and first ruler of The Kingdom
Of Hawaii (d. May 8 or 14, 1819) is #born Pai'ea (Hawaiian,
"Hard-Shelled Crab") in Kapakai, Kokoiki, Moiokini Heiau
(no Kohala Historical Sites State Monument, a National Historic
Landmark) in remote North Kohala, Hawaii Island. Accounts of his
birth vary, but sources place his birth between 1736 and 1761,
with historian Ralph Simpson Kuykendall believing it to be between
1748 and 1761. A great warrior, diplomat and leader, King
Kamehameha I united the Hawaiian Islands into one royal kingdom in
1810 after years of conflict. Hawaiian legend prophesized that a
light in the sky with feathers like a bird would signal the birth
of a great chief. In 1758, Halley's comet passed over Hawaii, a
year several accounts place his birth. The future king was hidden
from warring clans in secluded Waipi'o Valley after birth. After
the death threat passed, Pai'ea came out of hiding and was renamed
Kamehameha (Hawaiian, "The Lonely One"). Kamehameha was
trained as a warrior and his renowned strength gave rise to
account that he overturned the Naha Stone, a large volcanic rock
located in Hilo, Hawaii estimated to weigh between 2.5 and 3.5
tons, a symbol of the Naha rank of Hawaiian royalty and used to
prove the legitimacy of the bloodline of any claiming to be of
Naha rank. You can still see the Naha Stone today in Hilo. During
this time, warfare between chiefs throughout the islands was
widespread. In 1778, Captain James Cook arrived in Hawaii, who
named the islands The Sandwich Islands. Cooks arrival dovetailed
with Kamehameha's ambitions. With the help of western weapons and
advisors, Kamehameha won fierce battles at lao Valley in Maui and
the Nu'uanu Pali on Oahu. The fortress-like Pu'ukohola Heiau on
the island of Hawaii was built in 1790 prophesizing Kamehameha's
conquest of the islands. In 1810, when King Kaumuali'i of Kaua?i
agreed to become a tributary kingdom under Kamehameha, that
prophecy was finally fulfilled. Kamehameha died on May 8 or 14,
1819, aged between 57 and 83 at Kamakahonu, his residence located
at the north end of Kailua Bay in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii Island. In
the tradition of ancient custom called hunakele (literally, "to
hide in secret"), his body was hidden by his trusted friends,
Hoapili and Ho'olulu; the mana, or power of a person, was
considered to be sacred, so his body being buried in a hidden
location protected his mana. As a result, Kamehameha's final
resting place remains unknown. At one point in his reign,
Kamehameha III asked that Hoapili show him where his father's
bones were buried, but on the way there Hoapili knew that they
were being followed, so he turned around. Kamehameha's unification
of Hawaii was significant not only because it was an incredible
feat, but also because under separate rule, the Islands may have
been torn apart by competing western interests. Today, four
commissioned statues stand to honor King Kamehameha's memory.
Every June 11th, on Kamehameha Day, each of these statues are
ceremoniously draped with flower lei to celebrate Hawaii's
greatest king. The state of Hawaii gave a statue of him to the
National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington, D.C., as one of
two statues it is entitled to install there.

War II: The Cold War: The Eastern Bloc (The Communist Bloc, The
Socialist Bloc, The Soviet Bloc): Cold War Rebellions:
Anti-Communist Insurgencies In Central And Eastern Europe: The
Hungarian Revolution Of 1956 (The Hungarian Uprising): -- Imre
Nagy (pronounced IM-Ra NAJ), Hungarian communist politician,
Chairman Of The Council Of Ministers Of The Hungarian People's
Republic (de facto Prime Minister), leader of the Hungarian
Revolution Of 1956 against the Soviet-backed government for which
he was sentenced to death and executed two years later, formally
declared Hungary's withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact; Nagy's
Cabinet, which included future traitor Janos Kadar who pretended
to be in agreement, announces Hungary's neutrality and
international status as a politically non-aligned country; and
requests assistance from the Budapest diplomatic corps and UN
Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold to defend Hungary's neutrality.
Because of being in power for only ten days, the National
Government did not explain their policies in detail, an omission
which later proved to be problematic; however, contemporary
Hungarian newspaper editorials stressed that Hungary should become
a multiparty social democracy, and uninvolved in the
Russo-American Cold War. About 8,000 Hungarian political prisoners
were released, most notably Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty, and banned
political parties, such as the Independent Smallholders and the
National Peasant Party ("Petofi Party") reappeared to
join the coalition. Meanwhile, Nagy receives reports that, as a
result of the Nagy government's actions, Soviet forces were
entering Hungary from the east and were moving towards Budapest.
Nagy asked the Soviet Ambassador To Hungary (and future leader of
the Soviet Union) Yuri Andropov to inform the Soviet government
that Hungary would begin negotiations on the removal of Soviet
forces immediately, seeking and receiving from Andropov assurances
that the Soviet Union would not invade, assurance that were at the
time they were given, and later proved to be, utterly false.
Meanwhile, Fellow Nagy Cabinet ministers Janos Kadar, future
General Secretary Of The Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party, and
Ferenc Munnich, future Chairman Of The Council Of Ministers Of The
People's Republic Of Hungary, secretly turn traitor and defect to
the Soviets, and would go on to play despicable roles in betraying
the Hungarian Revolution. The Hungarian Revolution began on
October 23, 1956 in Budapest when university students appealed to
the civil populace to join them at the Hungarian Parliament
Building to protest against the USSR's geopolitical domination of
Hungary with the Stalinist government of Matyas Rakosi. A
delegation of students entered the building of Hungarian Radio to
broadcast their sixteen demands for political and economic reforms
to the civil society of Hungary, but they were instead detained by
security guards. When the student protestors outside the radio
building demanded the release of their delegation of students,
policemen from the AVH (Allamvedelmi Hatosag) state protection
authority shot and killed several protestors. Consequently,
Hungarians organized into revolutionary militias to fight against
the AVH; local Hungarian communist leaders and AVH policemen were
captured and summarily killed or lynched; and anti-communist
political prisoners were released and armed. To realize their
political, economic, and social demands, the local soviets
(councils of workers) assumed control of municipal government from
the Hungarian Working People's Party (Magyar Dolgozok Partja). The
new government of Imre Nagy disbanded the AVH, declared the
Hungarian withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact, and pledged to
re-establish free elections. By the end of October the intense
fighting had subsided. Although initially willing to negotiate the
withdrawal of the Soviet Army from Hungary, the USSR repressed the

Campaign (The Chinese First Phase Offensive): The Battle Of Unsan
(The Battle Of Yunshan): -- After inflicting heavy losses on the
ROK II Corps at The Battle Of Onjong, the first military
engagement between the Chinese and US forces during the Korean War
begins when thousands of soldiers from the Chinese People's
Volunteer Army (PVA) 39th Army encircles and attacks the US 8th
Cavalry Regiment deep in North Korea with three-prong assaults
from the north, northwest, and west and overrun their defensive
position flanks. This surprise assault resulted in the US and UN
forces retreating back to the Ch'ongch'on River, while the PVA
unexpectedly disappeared into mountain hideouts following their
victory. It is unclear why the Chinese did not press the attack
and follow up their victory. On October 25, after the Chinese
People's Volunteer Army (PVA) under the command of Peng Dehuai
with 270,000 PVA troops had secretly crossed the Yalu River on
October 19, the PVA 13th Army Group had launched the First Phase
Offensive, attacking the advancing UN forces near the Sino-Korean
border. Twelve days after PVA troops entered the war, Stalin
decided to order the Soviet Air Force to provide air cover, and
provided more aid to China. The PVA assault caught the UN troops
by surprise, and employing great skill and remarkable camouflage
ability, concealed their numerical and divisional strength after
the first engagement with the UN. After these initial engagements,
lasting from October 25 to November 5, 1950, the Chinese withdrew
into the mountains. UN forces interpreted this withdrawal as a
show of weakness; they thought that this initial attack was all
that the Chinese forces were capable of undertaking.

Today, November 1, 2025November 1, 1880: #BOTD: #HBD! Alfred
Wegener, German meteorologist, geophysicist, climatologist,
geologist, and polar researcher, during his lifetime primarily
known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of
polar research, but today most remembered as the originator of
continental drift hypothesis (d. November 1930) is #born Alfred
Lothar Wegener in Berlin, German Empire. By suggesting in 1912
that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth (German:
Kontinentalverschiebung), his hypothesis was so controversial that
he and his theory were widely rejected by mainstream geology until
the 1950s, when numerous discoveries such as palaeomagnetism
provided strong support for continental drift, and thereby a
substantial basis for today's model of plate tectonics. Wegener
was involved in several expeditions to Greenland to study polar
air circulation before the existence of the jet stream was
accepted. Expedition participants made many meteorological
observations and were the first to overwinter on the inland
Greenland ice sheet and the first to bore ice cores on a moving
Arctic glacier. Sometime in November 1930: Alfred Wegener died in
Greenland while returning from an expedition to bring food to a
group of researchers camped in the middle of an icecap. He
supplied the camp successfully, but there was not enough food at
the camp for him to stay there. He and a colleague, Rasmus
Villumsen, took dog sleds to travel to another camp although they
never reached it. Villumsen buried the body with great care, and a
pair of skis marked the grave site. After burying Wegener,
Villumsen had resumed his journey to West camp, but he was never
seen again. Six months later, on May 12, 1931, the grave was
discovered halfway between Eismitte and West camp. Expedition
members built a pyramid-shaped mausoleum in the ice and snow, and
Alfred Wegener's body was laid to rest in it. Wegener had been 50
years of age and a heavy smoker, and it was believed that he had
died of heart failure brought on by overexertion. Villumsen was 23
when he died, and it is estimated that his body, and Wegener's
diary, now lie under more than 100 metres (330 ft) of accumulated
ice and snow.

Today, November 1, 2025November 1, 2000: #DOTD: #RIP: Steven
Runciman, English historian and mystic, best known for "A
History Of The Crusades" (1951-54), his three-volume
historiography of the Crusades (b. July 7, 1903) #dies in Radway,
Warwickshire, England while visiting relatives, aged 97. He never
married. Earlier the same year, he had made a final visit to Mount
Athos to witness the blessing of the Protaton Tower at Karyes (the
capital of the monastic community), which had been refurbished
thanks to a gift from him. His burial details are not publicly
disclosed. Sir James Cochran Stevenson Runciman CH FBA was born in
Northumberland, North East England, the second son of Walter
Runciman, 1st Viscount Runciman of Doxford, and Hilda Runciman,
Viscountess Runciman of Doxford. Both of his parents were or
became members of parliament for the Liberal Party, and were the
first married couple to sit simultaneously in Parliament; his
father was created Viscount Runciman of Doxford in 1937, his
paternal grandfather, Walter Runciman, 1st Baron Runciman, was a
shipping magnate, and he was named after his maternal grandfather,
James Cochran Stevenson, the MP for South Shields. Sir James
Cochran Stevenson Runciman CH FBA, known as Steven Runciman, and
his three-volume history has had a profound impact on common
conceptions of the Crusades, primarily portraying the Crusaders
negatively and the Muslims favourably. Runciman was a strong
admirer of the Byzantine Empire, and consequently held a bias
against the Crusaders for the Fourth Crusade evident in his work.
While praised by older crusade historians as a storyteller and
prose stylist, he is viewed as biased by some contemporary
historians. It was Runciman who Peter O'Toole portrayed in the
film "The Last Emperor" when he was a young history
professor from Trinity College of Cambridge University hired to
tutor the Chinese Emperor Henry Puyi, ultimately finding himself
playing an upright bass to accompany Puyi in a piano rendition of
"Baa Baa Black Sheep". Runciman read Latin and Greek by
five years of age, and was close friends with George Orwell, with
whom he studied French under Aldous Huxley. When not walking and
sailing throughout the whole of the medieval Greek world of the
Byzantium empire, or reading or writing in a dozen or so
languages, or teaching the teachers of Turkey the history of their
own country by order of the Attaturk, he was reading tarot cards
for the King Of Egypt, getting ancient streets named after him in
Sparta, being made into an honorary Whirling Dervish after Sir
Runciman helped ensure its heredity chief would be permitted to
assume his leadership title, and hitting, not once but twice, the
jackpot on Las Vegas slot machines. He achieved all this and much
else, the crowning achievement being his magnum opus, "The
Great Crusades" trilogy of books, yet uppermost among his
triumphs was his maintaining to his core the same bookish
intellectual student still full of innocent wonder for the world
right up to the ripest of old ages of 97 years old. As he wrote in
"The Great Church in Captivity", "Human behavior
defies scientific laws. Human nature has not yet been tidily
analyzed. Human beliefs disregard logic and reason. The historian
must attempt to add to his objective study the qualities of
intuitive sympathy and imaginative perception, without which he
cannot hope to comprehend the feelings and aspirations and
convictions that have moved past generations. These qualities are,
maybe, gifts of the Spirit; gifts which can be experienced and
felt, but not explained in human terms."

Today, November 1, 2025November 1, 1790: The Age Of
Enlightenment (The Enlightenment, The Age Of Reason): The Age Of
Revolution: The Atlantic Revolutions: The French Revolution: --
Edmund Burke, Irish Political Theorist and member of the British
House Of Commons, publishes the political pamphet "Reflections
On The Revolution In France", in which he correctly predicts
that the French Revolution will end in a disaster. One of the
best-known intellectual attacks against the French Revolution,
Reflections is a defining tract of modern conservatism as well as
an important contribution to international theory. Above all else,
it has been one of the defining efforts of Edmund Burke's
transformation of "traditionalism into a self-conscious and
fully conceived political philosophy of conservatism". In
Reflections, Burke asserted that the revolution was destroying the
fabric of good society and traditional institutions of state and
society and condemned the persecution of the Catholic Church that
resulted from it. This led to his becoming the leading figure
within the conservative faction of the Whig Party which he dubbed
the Old Whigs, as opposed to the pro-French Revolution New Whigs
led by Charles James Fox. The pamphlet has not been easy to
classify. Before seeing this work as a pamphlet, Burke wrote in
the mode of a letter, invoking expectations of openness and
selectivity that added a layer of meaning. Academics have had
trouble identifying whether Burke, or his tract, can best be
understood as "a realist or an idealist, Rationalist or a
Revolutionist". Thanks to its thoroughness, rhetorical skill
and literary power, it has become one of the most widely known of
Burke's writings and a classic text in political theory. In the
20th century, it influenced a number of conservative
intellectuals, who recast Burke's Whiggish arguments as a critique
of Bolshevik programmes. Edmund Burke (January 12, 1729 - July 9,
1797) was an Irish statesman and philosopher. Born in Dublin,
Burke served as a member of parliament (MP) between 1766 and 1794
in the House Of Commons of Great Britain with the Whig Party after
moving to London in 1750. Burke was a proponent of underpinning
virtues with manners in society and of the importance of religious
institutions for the moral stability and good of the state. These
views were expressed in his A Vindication of Natural Society. He
criticised the actions of the British government towards the
American colonies, including its taxation policies. Burke also
supported the rights of the colonists to resist metropolitan
authority, although he opposed the attempt to achieve
independence. He is remembered for his support for Catholic
emancipation, the impeachment of Warren Hastings from the East
India Company, and his staunch opposition to the French
Revolution. In the 19th century, Burke was praised by both
conservatives and liberals. Subsequently in the 20th century, he
became widely regarded as the philosophical founder of modern
conservatism.

Pound, American expatriate poet and critic, a major figure in the
early modernist movement whose contribution to poetry began with
his development of Imagism, a movement derived from classical
Chinese and Japanese poetry, stressing clarity, precision and
economy of language (b. October 30, 1885, Mischief Night) #dies in
his sleep on All Saint's Day of "sudden blockage of the
intestine" at the San Giovanni e Paolo Civil Hospital in
Venice, Italy two days after his 87th birthday. He is buried at
San Michele Cemetery (Italian: Il Cimitero Di San Michele),
Venice's principal cemetery since its creation in 1807. Ezra Pound
was born Ezra Weston Loomis Pound in a two-story clapboard house
in Hailey, Idaho Territory. Pound was an expatriate major figure
in the early modernist movement. His contribution to poetry began
with his development of Imagism, a movement derived from classical
Chinese and Japanese poetry, stressing clarity, precision and
economy of language. His works include Ripostes (1912), Hugh
Selwyn Mauberley (1920) and the unfinished 120-section epic, The
Cantos (1917-1969). Pound worked in London during the early 20th
century as foreign editor of several American literary magazines,
and helped discover and shape the work of contemporaries such as
T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Robert Frost and Ernest Hemingway.
Angered by the carnage of World War I, Pound lost faith in England
and blamed the war on usury and international capitalism. He moved
to Italy in 1924, and throughout the 1930s and 1940s he embraced
Benito Mussolini's fascism, expressed support for Adolf Hitler,
and wrote for publications owned by the British fascist Oswald
Mosley. During World War II, he was paid by the Italian government
to make hundreds of radio broadcasts criticizing the United
States, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Jews, as a result of which he
was arrested in 1945 by American forces in Italy on charges of
treason. He spent months in detention in a U.S. military camp in
Pisa, including three weeks in a 6-by-6-foot (1.8 by 1.8 m)
outdoor steel cage, which he said triggered a mental breakdown:
"when the raft broke and the waters went over me".
Deemed unfit to stand trial, he was incarcerated in St. Elizabeths
psychiatric hospital in Washington, D.C., for over 12 years. While
in custody in Italy, Pound begun to work on sections of The
Cantos. These were published as The Pisan Cantos (1948), for which
he was awarded the Bollingen Prize in 1949 by the Library of
Congress, triggering enormous controversy. Largely due to a
campaign by his fellow writers, he was released from St.
Elizabeths in 1958 and returned to live in Italy until his death.
His political views ensure that his work remains as controversial
now as it was during his lifetime; in 1933 Time magazine called
him "a cat that walks by himself, tenaciously unhousebroken
and very unsafe for children." Hemingway wrote: "The
best of Pound's writing: and it is in the Cantos: will last as
long as there is any literature."

William Shakespeare's tragedy Othello is performed for the first
time, at Whitehall Palace in London. As Othello possesses an
unusually detailed performance record, this first performance is
known for certainty as it is mentioned in a Revels account on
"Hallamas Day, being the first of Nouembar", 1604, when
"the Kings Maiesties plaiers" performed "A Play in
the Banketinge house at Whit Hall Called The Moor of Venis".
The play is there attributed to "Shaxberd". Subsequent
performances took place on Monday, April 30, 1610 at the Globe
Theatre, and at Oxford in September 1610. On November 22, 1629,
and on May 6, 1635, it played at the Blackfriars Theatre. Othello
was also one of the twenty plays performed by the King's Men
during the winter of 1612, in celebration of the wedding of
Princess Elizabeth and Frederick V, Elector Palatine. Othello (The
Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William
Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on
the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by
Cinthio (a disciple of Boccaccio's), first published in 1565. The
story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a
Moorish general in the Venetian army, and his treacherous ensign,
Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love,
jealousy, betrayal, revenge, and repentance, Othello is still
often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and
has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary
adaptations.

Shakespeare's play The Tempest is performed for the first time, at
Whitehall Palace in London. The Tempest was probably written in
the period of a year leading up to this premiere, and it is
thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone.
After the first scene, which takes place on a ship at sea during a
tempest, the rest of the story is set on a remote island, where
the sorcerer Prospero, a complex and contradictory character,
lives with his daughter Miranda, and his two servants: Caliban, a
savage monster figure, and Ariel, an airy spirit. The play
contains music and songs that evoke the spirit of enchantment on
the island. It explores many themes, including magic, betrayal,
revenge, and family. In Act IV, a wedding masque serves as a
play-within-a-play, and contributes spectacle, allegory, and
elevated language. Although The Tempest is listed in the First
Folio as the first of Shakespeare's comedies, it deals with both
tragic and comic themes, and modern criticism has created a
category of romance for this and others of Shakespeare's late
plays. The Tempest has been put to varied interpretations, from
those that see it as a fable of art and creation, with Prospero
representing Shakespeare, and Prospero's renunciation of magic
signaling Shakespeare's farewell to the stage, to interpretations
that consider it an allegory of Europeans colonizing foreign
lands.

The Alemanni Invasion Of Gaul: -- Valentinian I receives news that
The Alemanni, a confederation of Germanic tribes on the upper
Rhine river, have crossd the Rhine and invaded Gaul; he also
learns that a revolt against Valentinian's brother and Co-Emperor
Valens in the east had been made by Procopius, who sought to usurp
Valens' throne. Valentinian sent his Roman General Dagalaifus of
Germanic descent to fight the Alamanni while he himself made
preparations to march east and help Valens. However, after
receiving counsel from his court and deputations from the leading
Gallic cities begging him to stay and protect Gaul, he decided to
remain in Gaul and fight the Alamanni. Valentinian advanced to
Durocortorum, the name of the city Reims during the Roman era, and
sent two generals, Charietto and Severianus, against the invaders.
Both generals were promptly defeated and killed. In 366,
Dagalaifus was sent against the Alamanni but he was also
ineffective. Late in the campaigning season Dagalaifus was
replaced by Jovinus, a general from the court of Valentinian.
After several victories along the Meuse river, Jovinus fought and
won a pitched battle with the Alamanni near Chalon. After his
victory he pushed the Alamanni out of Gaul and was awarded the
consulate the following year for his efforts. In the East,
Procopius, who eventually succeeded in usurpering Valens' throne,
was later executed.

And The Canary 1927 Laura La Plante Creighton Hale DVD MP4 USB
Today, November 1, 2025November 1, 1904: #BOTD: #HBD! Laura La
Plante, aka Anabelle West in The Cat and the Canary, American
actress and beauty, primarily known for her work in the silent
film era (d. October 14, 1996) is #born Laura Laplante in St.
Louis, Missouri. Her best remembered film is arguably the silent
classic The Cat and the Canary (1927), although she also achieved
acclaim for Skinner's Dress Suit (1926), with Reginald Denny, the
part-talkie The Love Trap (1929), directed by William Wyler, and
the 1929 part-talkie film version of Show Boat (1929), adapted
from the novel of the same name by Edna Ferber. The Cat and the
Canary is a silent horror film adaptation of John Willard's 1922
black comedy play of the same name. The film stars Laura La Plante
as Annabelle West, Forrest Stanley as Charles "Charlie"
Wilder, and Creighton Hale as Paul Jones. The plot revolves around
the death of Cyrus West, who is Annabelle, Charlie, and Paul's
uncle, and the reading of his will 20 years later. Annabelle
inherits her uncle's fortune, but when she and her family spend
the night in his haunted mansion they are stalked by a mysterious
figure. Meanwhile, a lunatic known as "the Cat" escapes
from an asylum and hides in the mansion. The film is part of a
genre of comedy horror films inspired by 1920s Broadway stage
plays. Paul Leni's adaptation of Willard's play blended
expressionism with humor, a style Leni was notable for and critics
recognized as unique. Leni's style of directing made The Cat and
the Canary influential in the "old dark house" genre of
films popular from the 1930s through the 1950s. The film was one
of Universal's early horror productions and is considered "the
cornerstone of Universal's school of horror." Laura La Plante
died of Alzheimer's disease at the age of 91 in Woodland Hills,
California. Despite contrary belief about her rumored interment at
El Camino Memorial Park in San Diego, California, La Plante was
actually cremated by Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery in North
Hollywood, California, and her ashes scattered at sea.
