November 21: World Television Day: -- The United Nations General Assembly declared this holiday in 1996 in recognition of television's having an increased impact on decision making as well as being an ambassador for the entertainment industry. Television is a symbol of communication and globalization that educates, informs, entertains and influences our decisions and opinions. In 1927, a 21 year old inventor by the name of Philo Taylor Farnsworth invented the world's first electronic television. He lived in a home without electricity until he was 14 years old. In high school, he began to think of a system that could capture moving pictures, change them into a code, and them move those images with radio waves to different devices. He was years ahead of the mechanical television system as his structure captured moving images using a beam of electrons. Farnsworth later famously transmitted the image of a dollar sign using his television after a fellow inventor asked "When are we going to see some dollars from this thing?" Neither of them knew the television would become the emblem for an international day promoting the spread of global information. On November 21 and 22 in 1996, the United Nations held the first World Television Forum. Here, leading media figures met to discuss the growing significance of television in the rapidly changing world and consider how they might enhance their mutual cooperation. UN leaders recognized that television could bring attention to conflicts, raise awareness of threats to peace and security, and sharpen focus on social and economic issues. Television was acknowledged as a major tool in informing, channeling, and affecting public opinion, having an undoubtable presence and influence on world politics. Because of this event, the UN General Assembly decided to name November 21 World Television Day, not to celebrate the object itself, but the symbol for communication and globalization in the contemporary world that it represents.

November 21: Coleman Hawkins Day (WKCR-FM): -- November 21, 1904: #BOTD: #HBD! Coleman Hawkins, nicknamed "Hawk" and "Bean", pioneer African American saxophonist and clarinet player, one of the first prominent jazz musicians on the jazz tenor saxophone (d. 1969) is #born Coleman Randolph Hawkins in Saint Joseph, Missouri and named after his mother Cordelia's maiden name. There were tenor saxophone players before him, but the instrument was not an acknowledged jazz horn until him. While Hawk is strongly associated with the swing music and big band era, he had a role in the development of bebop in the 1940s. Fellow saxophonist Lester Young, known as "Pres", commented in a 1959 interview with The Jazz Review: "As far as I'm concerned, I think Coleman Hawkins was 'the President' first, right? As far as myself, I think I'm the second one." Miles Davis once said: "When I heard Hawk, I learned to play ballads.". Coleman Hawkins died aged 64 of liver disease at Wickersham Hospital, Manhattan. He is interred in the Yew Plot at the Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York City. WKCR-FM, a radio station licensed to New York, New York and owned by Columbia University, broadcasts an annual 24-hour Coleman Hawkins Birthday Broadcast from midnight to midnight on 89.9FM on the FM dial and on WKCR.org in streaming MP3 audio.

November 21, 164 BCE: Jerusalem: The History Of Jerusalem: Religion: The History Of Religion: Abrahamic Religions: Judaism: The History Of Judaism: The History Of Israel: The Temple In Jerusalem, (The Holy Temple; Hebrew: Bet haMiqdas, Tiberian: Bet hamMiqdas; Arabic: Bayt al-Maqdis): The Second Temple (Hebrew: Bet hamMiqdas hasSeni, "The Second House Of The Sanctum", Herod's Temple): The Restoration Of The Second Temple (Hanukkah): -- Judas Maccabeus, son of Mattathias of the Hasmonean family, restores the Temple in Jerusalem; this event is commemorated each year by the Hebrew festival of Hanukkah. Judah Maccabee (or Judas Maccabeus, also spelled Machabeus, or Maccabaeus, Hebrew: Yehudah HaMakabi) was a Jewish priest (kohen) and a son of the priest Mattathias. He led the Maccabean Revolt (167-160 BCE), a Jewish rebellion led by the Maccabees, a group of Jewish rebel warriors who took control of Judea and founded the Hasmonean dynasty which ruled Judea from about 110 to 63 BCE, against the Seleucid Empire, a Greek state in West Asia that existed during the Hellenistic period from 312 BC to 63 BC and against Hellenistic influence on Jewish life. The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah ("Dedication") commemorates this restoration of Jewish worship at the Second Temple in Jerusalem, after Judah Maccabee removed all of the statues depicting Greek gods and goddesses contained in it and purified it. Hanukkah, also romanized as Chanukah or Hanukah, also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is is an annual holiday that is observed for eight nights and days, and is calculated according to the Hebrew Calendar, also called the Jewish calendar, a lunisolar calendar (a calendar that combines lunar and solar calendars), a calendar used today for Jewish religious observance, and as an official calendar of the state of Israel. Hanukkah begins at sundown on the 25th day of the Hebrew calender month of Kislev, and ends on 2nd or 3rd day of the Hebrew calendar month Tevet.; these dates may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar used in most of the world. The festival is observed by lighting the candles of a candelabrum with nine branches, called a menorah (or hanukkiah). One branch is typically placed above or below the others and its candle is used to light the other eight candles. This unique candle is called the shamash. Each night, one additional candle is lit by the shamash until all eight candles are lit together on the final night of the festival. Other Hanukkah festivities include playing the game of dreidel and eating oil-based foods, such as latkes and sufganiyot, and dairy foods. Since the 1970s, the worldwide Chabad Hasidic movement has initiated public menorah lightings in open public places in many countries.

November 21, 1694: #BOTD: #HBD! Voltaire, French Enlightenment writer, historian, playwright, philosopher and Freemason, famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church and Christianity as a whole, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and separation of church and state (d. May 30. 1778) is #born Francois-Marie Arouet in Paris, Kingdom of France. Voltaire was a versatile and prolific writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets. He was an outspoken advocate of civil liberties, despite the risk this placed him in under the strict censorship laws of the time. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day. He was an advocate of human rights who published the landmark Philosophical Letters in 1734. Other writings include; Zadig, The Century of Louis XIV, The Russian Empire under Peter The Great, The Philosophical Dictionary, and Essay on Morals. The accounts of his deathbed have been numerous and varying, and it has not been possible to establish the details of what precisely occurred. His enemies related that he repented and accepted the last rites from a Catholic priest, or that he died in agony of body and soul, while his adherents told of his defiance to his last breath. According to one story of his last words, when the priest urged him to renounce Satan, he replied, "This is no time to make new enemies." However, this appears to have originated from a joke in a Massachusetts newspaper in 1856, and was only attributed to Voltaire in the 1970s. Because of his well-known criticism of the Church, which he had refused to retract before his death, Voltaire was denied a Christian burial in Paris, but friends and relations managed to bury his body secretly at the Abbey of Scellieres in Champagne, where the brother of his cousin and partner Marie Louise Mignot was abbe. His heart and brain were embalmed separately. On July 11, 1791, the National Assembly of France, regarding Voltaire as a forerunner of the French Revolution, had his remains brought back to Paris and enshrined in the Pantheon, where it resides today. An estimated million people attended the procession, which stretched throughout Paris. There was an elaborate ceremony, including music composed for the event by Andre Gretry.

King Louis XVI had originally decreed that condemned criminals would be the first pilots, but De Rozier, along with Marquis Francois D'Arlandes, petitioned successfully for the honor. Their flight lasted about 25 minutes and carried them nearly six miles at a height of about 300 feet over Paris. Benjamin Franklin was one of the spectators. The first military use of a hot air balloon happened in 1794 during the Battle Of Fleurus, when the French used the balloon l'Entreprenant for observation.

Today, November 21, 2025

November 21, 1877: Great Inventions: The History Of Sound Recording: The Phonograph: -- Thomas Edison announces his invention of the phonograph, a machine that can record and play sound. Alexander Graham Bell's Volta Laboratory made several improvements in the 1880s and introduced the graphophone, including the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders and a cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a zigzag groove around the record. In the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to near the center, coining the term gramophone for disc record players, which is predominantly used in many languages. Later improvements through the years included modifications to the turntable and its drive system, the stylus or needle, and the sound and equalization systems. Whether called a phonograph, in its later forms a gramophone (as a trademark since 1887, as a generic name in the UK since 1910) or since the 1940s called a record player, it is a device for the mechanical recording and reproduction of sound. The sound vibration waveforms are recorded as corresponding physical deviations of a spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of a rotating cylinder or disc, called a "record". To recreate the sound, the surface is similarly rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated by it, very faintly reproducing the recorded sound. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves which were coupled to the open air through a flaring horn, or directly to the listener's ears through stethoscope-type earphones. The disc phonograph record was the dominant audio recording format throughout most of the 20th century. In the 1980s, phonograph use on a standard record player declined sharply due to the rise of the cassette tape, compact disc, and other digital recording formats. However, records are still a favorite format for some audiophiles, DJs and turntablists (particularly in hip hop and electronic dance music), and have undergone a revival since the 1990s. The original recordings of musicians, which may have been recorded on tape or digital methods, are sometimes re-issued on vinyl.

(German: Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?) in the Annalen Der Physik (German: The Annals Of Physics) scientific journal, in which he introduces the most famous of all equations, the mass-energy equivalence formula E = MC2. This paper is the fourth of Einstein's four Annus Mirabilis Papers (from Latin annus mirabilis, "extraordinary year") Albert Einstein published in the Annalen Der Physik that year. These four articles contributed substantially to the foundation of modern physics and changed views on space, time, mass, and energy. The annus mirabilis is often called the "miracle year" in English or Wunderjahr in German. Special relativity (SR, also known as the special theory of relativity or STR) is the generally accepted and experimentally well-confirmed physical theory regarding the relationship between space and time. In Albert Einstein's original pedagogical treatment, it is based on two postulates: 1) The laws of physics are invariant (i.e., identical) in all inertial systems (i.e., non-accelerating frames of reference); and 2) The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of the motion of the light source.

Bloody Sunday began with an Irish Republican Army (IRA) operation, organised by Michael Collins, to assassinate the 'Cairo Gang', a team of undercover British intelligence agents working and living in Dublin. IRA members went to a number of addresses and shot dead fourteen people. Later that afternoon, members of the Auxiliary Division and RIC (Royal Irish Constabulary) opened fire on the crowd at a Gaelic football match in Croke Park, killing eleven civilians and wounding at least sixty, three of which died later. That evening, three IRA suspects being held in Dublin Castle were beaten and killed by their captors, who claimed they were trying to escape. Overall, while its events cost relatively few lives, Bloody Sunday was considered a great victory for the IRA, as Collins' operation severely damaged British intelligence, while the later reprisals did no real damage to the guerrillas but increased support for the IRA and the republican government under Eamon De Valera at home and abroad.

November 21, 1953: Anthropology: Paleoanthropology: Human Evolution: Hoaxes: Hoaxes In Science: Archaeological Forgeries: The Piltdown Man: -- The Natural History Museum, London announces that the "Piltdown Man" skull, initially believed to be one of the most important fossilized hominid skulls ever found, is a hoax. The Piltdown Man was a paleoanthropological fraud in which bone fragments were presented as the fossilised remains of a previously unknown early human. Although there were doubts about its authenticity virtually from the beginning, the remains were still broadly accepted for many years, and the falsity of the hoax was only definitively demonstrated in 1953. An extensive scientific review in 2016 established that amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson was responsible for the fraudulent evidence; during the period of time when the identity of the forger was unknown, suspects included Dawson, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Arthur Keith, Martin A. C. Hinton, Horace de Vere Cole and Arthur Conan Doyle. In 1912, Charles Dawson claimed that he had discovered the "missing link" between ape and man. In February 1912, Dawson contacted Arthur Smith Woodward, Keeper of Geology at the Natural History Museum, stating he had found a section of a human-like skull in Pleistocene gravel beds near Piltdown, East Sussex. That summer, Dawson and Smith Woodward purportedly discovered more bones and artifacts at the site, which they connected to the same individual. These finds included a jawbone, more skull fragments, a set of teeth, and primitive tools. Smith Woodward reconstructed the skull fragments and hypothesised that they belonged to a human ancestor from 500,000 years ago. The discovery was announced at a Geological Society meeting and was given the Latin name Eoanthropus dawsoni ("Dawson's dawn-man"). The questionable significance of the assemblage remained the subject of considerable controversy until it was conclusively exposed in 1953 as a forgery. It was found to have consisted of the altered mandible and some teeth of an orangutan deliberately combined with the cranium of a fully developed, though small-brained, modern human. The Piltdown hoax is prominent for two reasons: the attention it generated around the subject of human evolution, and the length of time, 41 years, that elapsed from its alleged initial discovery to its definitive exposure as a composite forgery.

November 21, 1959: Broadcasting: The History Of Broadcasting: Radio: The History Of Radio Broadcasting: The Firing Of Alan Freed: -- American disc jockey Alan Freed, who had popularized the term "rock and roll" and music of that style, is fired from WABC-AM radio for refusing to deny allegations that he had participated in the payola scandal. By January 25, 1960, The National Association of Broadcasters reacte to the payola scandal by threatening fines for any disc jockeys who accepted money for playing particular records. Prosecution for payola in the 1950s was in part a reaction of the traditional music establishment against newcomers. Hit radio was a threat to the wages of song-pluggers. Radio hits also threatened old revenue streams; for example, by the middle of the 1940s, three-quarters of the records produced in the USA went into jukeboxes. Still, in the 1950s, independent record companies or music publishers frequently used payola to promote rock and roll on American radio; it promoted cultural diversity and disc jockeys were less inclined to indulge their own personal and racial biases. Alan Freed, a disc jockey and early supporter of rock and roll (and also widely credited for actually coining the term), had his career and reputation greatly harmed by a payola scandal. Dick Clark's early career was nearly derailed by a payola scandal, but he avoided trouble by selling his stake in a record company and cooperating with authorities. Attempts were made to link all payola with rock and roll music. Alan Freed, American disc jockey Alan Freed, who had popularized the term "rock and roll" and music of that style (1921-1965) became internationally known for promoting the mix of blues, country, and rhythm and blues music on the radio in the United States and Europe under the name of rock and roll. His career was destroyed by the payola scandal that hit the broadcasting industry in the early 1960s.

November 21, 1964: Civil Rights Movements: The American Civil Rights Movement (1954-1968): Anti-Black Racism In The United States: American Secret Government Programs: Federal Bureau Of Investigation Operations: COINTELPRO: The FBI-King Suicide Letter: -- A package that contains the FBI-King suicide letter and a tape recording allegedly of King's sexual indiscretions is delivered to Coretta Scott King, wife of Martin Luther King Jr., and later to King Jr. himself. Although the letter was anonymously written, Martin Luther King Jr. correctly suspected the FBI sent the package. The FBI-King Suicide Letter, also known as The FBI-King Blackmail Package, was an operation against King that was part of the FBI's COINTELPRO program, a series of covert and illegal projects aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic American political organizations. FBI records show COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals the FBI deemed subversive, sometimes rightly but sometimes wrongly, including: 1) feminist organizations, 2) the Communist Party USA, 3) anti-Vietnam War organizers, 4) activists of the civil rights movement and Black Power movement (e.g. Martin Luther King Jr., the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panther Party), 5) environmentalist and animal rights organizations, 5) the American Indian Movement (AIM), 6) Chicano and Mexican-American groups like the Brown Berets and the United Farm Workers, 7) independence movements (including Puerto Rican independence groups such as the Young Lords and the Puerto Rican Socialist Party), 8) a variety of organizations that were part of the broader New Left, and 9) white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the far-right group National States' Rights Party. Coretta Scott King described the FBI-King Blackmail Package tapes by saying "I couldn't make much out of it, it was just a lot of mumbo jumbo." The letter does not specify precisely what action it is urging King to undertake; King understood the letter as advocating that he commit suicide, although some have suggested that it was merely urging him to decline the Nobel Peace Prize (which he won in 1964) or step out of leadership. Historian Taylor Branch documents an anonymous November 21, 1964 "suicide package" sent by the FBI that contained audio recordings obtained through tapping King's phone and placing bugs throughout various hotel rooms over the past two years, and that was created two days after the announcement of King's impending Nobel Peace Prize. The tape, which was prepared by FBI audio technician John Matter, documented a series of King's sexual indiscretions combined with a letter telling him: "There is only one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy, abnormal, fraudulent self is bared to the nation". King was subsequently informed that the audio would be released to the media if he did not acquiesce and commit suicide prior to accepting his Nobel Peace Prize. When King refused to satisfy their coercion tactics, FBI Associate Director, Cartha D. DeLoach, commenced a media campaign offering the surveillance transcript to various news organizations, including Newsweek and Newsday. And even by 1969, as has been noted elsewhere, "[FBI] efforts to 'expose' Martin Luther King Jr. had not slackened even though King had been dead for a year. [The Bureau] furnished ammunition to opponents that enabled attacks on King's memory, and ... tried to block efforts to honor the slain leader."

The Provisional Irish Republican Army never officially admitted responsibility for the Birmingham Pub Bombings, although a former senior officer of the organisation confessed to their involvement in 2014. In 2017, one of the alleged and admitted perpetrators, Michael Hayes, claimed that the intention of the bombings had not been to harm civilians, and that their deaths had been caused by an unintentional delay in delivering an advance telephone warning to security services. The Birmingham Six, six Irishmen arrested within hours of the blasts - Hugh Callaghan, Patrick Joseph Hill, Gerard Hunter, Richard McIlkenny, William Power and John Walker - were sentenced in 1975 to life imprisonment for the bombings, but subsequently acquitted. They maintained their innocence and insisted police had coerced them into signing false confessions through severe physical and psychological abuse. After 16 years in prison, and a lengthy campaign, their convictions were declared unsafe and unsatisfactory, and quashed by the Court of Appeal in 1991. The episode is seen as one of the worst miscarriages of justice in British legal history.

The students were motivated by a speech by Ayatollah Khomeini, disseminated by Iranian radio propaganda, which falsely claimed that the United States was responsible for the terrorist attack on the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. The embassy attack was planned and led largely by Jamaat-e-Islami-aligned Islamist students at Quaid-i-Azam University, and resulted in several American diplomats temporarily being taken hostage by students who hoped to carry out show trials and executions. Simultaneously, there were also large demonstrations in Karachi, and the American cultural centers in Lahore and Rawalpindi were gutted in similar burnings. Four embassy staffers were killed in the attack: a Marine Security Guard, a US Army warrant officer, and two Pakistani locals employed by the embassy. US ambassador Arthur W. Hummel Jr. was outside the embassy at the time of the attack, and escaped unharmed. During the attack, US president Jimmy Carter warned Pakistan's president Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq by phone that he was responsible for the Americans' safety, however the embattled new president proved reluctant to use force against the crowd. Two student attackers were killed, while as many as 70 were injured in the attack which lasted into the following morning by the time the Pakistani Army moved to retake control of the premises. A propaganda coup for Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini later publicly praised the students actions, while Pakistan's president Zia offered a tepid condemnation of the attack as "not in keeping with lofty Islamic traditions."

November 21: National Stuffing Day: -- With Thanksgiving right around the corner, November 21st is an ideal day for National Stuffing Day! Since we are already thinking about the delicious turkey stuffing that is a traditional part of Thanksgiving dinner. Some cooks choose to stuff the bird with crusts of bread, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Others prefer to prepare a similar dish alongside the turkey using the drippings to moisten the dish. Either way, each preparation is a personal preference or family tradition. The difference is the first is called a stuffing, but the latter is referred to as a dressing. The usual turkey stuffing consists of bread cubes or crumbs combined with onions, celery, salt, and pepper. Further spices and herbs such as summer savory, sage, or poultry seasoning add flavor and variety. Other recipes add sausage, hamburger, tofu, oysters, egg, rice, apple, raisins, or other dried fruits. The first known documented stuffing recipes appeared in the Roman cookbook, Apicius "De Re Coquinaria." Most of the stuffing recipes in this cookbook included vegetables, herbs and spices, nuts, and spelt (an old cereal). Some recipes also included chopped liver and other organ meat. In addition to stuffing the body cavity of poultry and fish, various cuts of meat are often stuffed once deboned and creating a pouch or cutting a slit in them. A few examples of other meats frequently stuffed include pork chops, meatloaf, meatballs, chicken breast, lamb chops, and beef tenderloin. Stuffing isn't limited to the butcher block. Vegetables are excellent containers for stuffing. Peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, and cabbage are just a few of the shapely veggies that make stuffing a fabulous part of your meals. Who makes the best stuffing in your family? Some families debate this question and never settle the question. That's why they end up with multiple versions on the table at the big meal.

November 21: National Gingerbread Cookie Day: -- It's the perfect time to celebrate as the holiday season is not too far away. Gingerbread cookies instantly make us feel warm and cozy, they're tasty, and no amount of cookies will be enough. Their rich flavor profile makes you want to keep going back for more. Gingerbread cookies come in all shapes and sizes, but gingerbread man cookies are the most popular ones. Gingerbread has been around for centuries. The Ancient Greeks and Egyptians often used gingerbread for ceremonial purposes. Later, in the 11th century, crusaders brought ginger into Europe from the Middle East. It was in the 16th century that gingerbread figural biscuits made their first appearance. Queen Elizabeth I of England asked her staff to make gingerbread figures that looked like the foreign dignitaries and the other guests of honor and later presented them in the likeness of some of her very important guests. In England, gingerbread biscuits were also sold around the 17th century in monasteries, pharmacies, and farmers' markets. In certain places like Nuremberg and Pulsnitz in Germany, it is regarded as an art form. The German version of gingerbread cookies is known as Lebkuchen and has been around for over 400 years. These are often heart-shaped and decorated with names and messages of love written in icing. Gingerbread cookies are also highly regarded as art in Torun in Poland, Tula in Russia, Pest in Hungary, Pardubice, Prague in the Czech Republic, and Lyon in France. Later as years went by, gingerbread tied with ribbons became a popular feature at local fairs and were even exchanged as a token of love. Now gingerbread cookies are popular in many western countries and especially baked around the holiday season. You can make a house, cake, biscuits, or simply cookies, and munch your way through it during the holidays and soak in the warm and spicy flavors. https://store.earthstation1.com/hansel-and-gretel-an-opera-fantasy-dvd-1954-stop-motion-anim1954.html

November 21, 1969: Japan: The History Of Japan: The Aftermath Of World War II: The Aftermath Of The Pacific War: The Reversion Of Okinawa To Japanese Control: -- U.S. President Richard Nixon and Japanese Premier Eisaku Sato agree on the return of Okinawa to Japanese control in 1972. The U.S. retains rights to bases on the island, but these are to be nuclear-free. On April 1, 1945, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps launched an invasion of Okinawa with approximately 185,000 troops. They encountered determined and intense resistance from the Japanese defenders. During the subsequent fighting, approximately one-third of Okinawa's civilian population lost their lives. The dead, of all nationalities, are commemorated at the Cornerstone of Peace. After the end of World War II, the United States set up the United States Military Government of the Ryukyu Islands, which later became the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands. The United States established numerous military bases on the Ryukyu Islands during its 27-year-long "trusteeship rule". The Ryukyu Islands (Japanese: Ryukyu Retto) (also known as the Nansei Islands [Japanese: Nansei Shoto; Okinawan: Nansei Torishima, "Southwest Islands"] or The Ryukyu Arc [Japanese: Ryukyu-Ko; Okinawan: Ruuchuu-Kiyumi]), are a chain of Japanese islands that stretch southwest from Kyushu, the third-largest and most southerly of Japan's four main islands, to Taiwan. The Ryukyu Islands are divided into the Satsunan Islands (Osumi, Tokara and Amami) and Okinawa Prefecture (Daito, Miyako, Yaeyama, Senkaku, Okinawa, Sakishima Islands [further divided into the Miyako and Yaeyama Islands], and Yonaguni as the westernmost). The larger ones are mostly volcanic islands and the smaller mostly coral. The largest is Okinawa Island. On May 15, 1972, the U.S. government returned The Ryukyu Islands to Japan following the signing of the 1971 Okinawa Reversion Agreement. https://store.earthstation1.com/japan-a-cherry-blossom-by-many-other-names-mp4-video-download-dvd.html

November 21, 1929: #BOTD: #HBD! Rick Sklar, American radio program director who, while at New York City's WABC, was one of the originators of the Top 40 radio format (d. June 22, 1992) is #born in Brooklyn NY where he grew up in its Brighton Beach section. He graduated from New York University and volunteered at WNYC radio as a writer. He then worked at WPAC in Patchogue, New York, and in 1954 moved to WINS where he was assistant program director. In 1960, Sklar became program director at crosstown competitor WMGM. He moved to WABC in 1962 and became program director there in 1963. Under his management, WABC became the model for tight-playlist, teenager-targeted Top 40 programming, with a strong signal and famed disc jockeys such as "Cousin Brucie" Bruce Morrow, Dan Ingram, Harry Harrison, Chuck Leonard, and Ron Lundy. His relationship with some of the DJs he oversaw was contentious at times. Scott Muni departed from WABC after a number of confrontations with Sklar over playlists including Sklar's refusal to remove Louis Armstrong's version of the #1 smash hit "Hello, Dolly" from the playlist at Muni's request. Under Sklar, the station's ratings soared and was often the most listened to radio station in North America through the mid-60s into the late 70s. In March 1977, Sklar was promoted to vice president of programming for ABC's radio division. In 1984 he left ABC to start his own consulting firm, Sklar Communications. His autobiography, Rocking America: An Insider's Story: How the All-Hit Radio Stations Took Over America (ISBN 978-0312687977), was published by St. Martin's Press the same year. In an interview recorded in 1982, when WABC switched from music to talk programming, Sklar said "Everything has to end, that's life, WABC is _ like anything else it's part of life, couldn't go on forever. But _ it was a wonderful thing _ it was a one-of-a-kind _ I don't think there'll ever be another station quite like that. I mean, the scope of the thing was so huge, was so grand; everything that was done was on such a massive scale. We gave out buttons, we gave out 14 million with the WABC call letters and if we spot you we'll give you 25K USD. You know, this stuff is _ it's just not done today._ We'll miss it. Radio will go on and on forever. Radio's the most adaptable medium there is, and _ the old WABC's place in radio will be remembered by everyone who ever heard it, who ever grew up with it, it'll be part of millions and millions-tens of millions of people's lives, and certainly the lives of everyone in the radio business. Now we just have to go on to new things, and I think we will." Sklar continued to write articles and books as well as visiting various colleges discussing the business of radio in general. He was also an adjunct professor at St. John's University. Rick was married to the former Sydelle Helfgott, who also served as vice president for his company, Sklar Communications. They had two children: a son Scott and a daughter Holly and three grandchildren: Emily, Samantha and Jacob. Rick Sklar died of complications of cancer surgery in Roosevelt Hospital, Manhattan, aged 62. Prior to his death, Sklar had been an avid runner for more than ten years, taking it up in the late 1970s. He ran his first New York City Marathon in 1982, finishing 4 hours, 21 minutes, and 36 seconds; coming in 642nd out of 857 who finished the race in his age group. He began to have problems with his left foot, which necessitated him quitting the sport by 1990. In June 1992, he entered Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan for a minor operation that would allow him to run again. Although in good health, he died on the operating table due to a lack of oxygen and other mistakes made by the hospital staff. Rick Sklar was posthumously inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame the following year. His burial details are not publicly available. https://store.earthstation1.com/wabc-musicradio-shows-mp3-dvd-60s80s-am-360807775.html

November 21, 1894: #BOTD: #HBD! Max Miller, English actor, singer, songwriter, music hall performer and comedian who was widely regarded as the greatest stand-up of his generation, also known as The Cheeky Chappie (d. May 7, 1963) is #born Thomas Henry Sargent in Hereford Street, Kemptown, Brighton, Sussex, the second of the six children of James Sargent, a labourer and Alice (nee West), a flower seller. He came from humble beginnings. He left school at the age of 12. At the outbreak of the First World War, he volunteered for the army. During his time in the forces, he started a troop concert party. On leaving the army, he took up work as a light comedian, dancer, and singer. He toured extensively appearing in variety, revues and by the early 1930s reached the top of the bill in the large music halls including the London Palladium. He recorded many songs, some which he wrote. He appeared frequently on radio, but television did not really suit his style. He appeared and starred in 14 feature films. He was known for his flamboyant suits, his wicked charm, and his risque jokes which often got him into trouble with the censors. He made his last recording in January 1963 and died four months later in his home at 25 Burlington Street, Brighton, East Sussex, England, aged 68. In 1958 Miller suffered a heart attack. After recovery he needed to take life easier. His last West End appearance took place at the Palace Theatre in April 1959 and the last ever in variety in Folkestone in December 1960. He continued to make records, his last in January 1963 with Lonnie Donegan. Max Miller was cremated in the Downs Crematorium, Brighton. A memorial tablet is mounted on a wall in the Garden of Remembrance. With dwindling work in variety, brought about by the increasing popularity of television, he commented, "When I'm dead and gone, the game's finished." https://store.earthstation1.com/alternative-sgt-pepper39s-lonely-hearts-club-band-mp3-cd-download-393.html

November 21, 1933: #BOTD: #HBD! David Frye, American comedian, impressionist and political satirist (d. January 24, 2011) is #born David Shapiro in New York City. David Frye specialized in comic imitations of on notable Americans, including famous political figures such as former U.S. Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon, Vice Presidents Hubert Humphrey, Spiro Agnew, and Nelson Rockefeller, and Senator Bobby Kennedy; film celebrities such as George C. Scott, Henry Fonda, Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, Jack Nicholson, Jack Palance and Rod Steiger; and media figures such as William F. Buckley Jr. and Larry King. As eerily accurate and subtle as his impersonations were, the comedic narratives spoken by those depicted by Frye were outrageously a propos as well as politically savvy and au courant. He is most famous for his impressions of Richard Nixon and for the four comedy albums showcasing them: I Am The President (1969), Radio Free Nixon (1971), Richard Nixon Superstar (1971) and Richard Nixon: A Fantasy (1973). Marketing problems developed in 1973 for Frye's Richard Nixon: A Fantasy, which dealt with Nixon's Watergate troubles, when all three network affiliates in New York City (WNBC-TV, WABC-TV and WCBS-TV) rejected commercials promoting the album, citing questions of taste. In addition, the Woolworth's department store chain decided not to stock the record because, in their words, "some of our customers might be offended." Although his heyday was in the 1960s and early 1970s, when his Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson impersonations were definitive, Frye continued to create masterful new impressions and evolve old ones. His 1998 album Clinton: An Oral History featured riffs on Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Pat Buchanan, and John McLaughlin, plus that of an older Nixon (complete with pauses and phrasing more typical of the ex-President as he sounded in the 1980s and 1990s). David Frye died on January 24, 2011, at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada of cardiopulmonary arrest according to the Clark County Coroner. He is buried at Mount Ararat Cemetery in East Farmingdale, New York. https://store.earthstation1.com/david-frye-i-am-richard-nixon-all-4-nixon-comedy-albums-mp3-43.html

November 21, 1933: #BOTD: #HBD! Henry Hartsfield, nicknamed Hank, United States Air Force colonel, test pilot and NASA astronaut who logged over 7,400 hours of flying time - of which over 6,150 hours are in the North American F-86 Sabre, North American F-100 Super Sabre, Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, Republic F-105 Thunderchief, Convair F-106 Delta Dart, Lockheed T-33, and Northrop T-38 Talon jet aircraft - and over 480 hours in space (d. July 17, 2014) is #born Henry Warren Hartsfield Jr. in Birmingham, Alabama. He flew in NASA's Space Shuttle three times, including the last test flight: STS-4 (Space Shuttle Columbia), STS-41-D (Space Shuttle Discovery), and STS-61 (the last successful flight of Space Shuttle Challenger). Hartsfield received his commission through the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at Auburn University. He entered the U.S. Air Force in 1955, and his assignments included a tour with the 53rd Tactical Fighter Squadron in Bitburg, West Germany. He is also a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, California, and was an instructor there prior to his assignment in 1966 to the USAF Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) program as an astronaut. After the cancellation of the MOL program in June 1969, he was reassigned to NASA. Hartsfield became part of NASA Astronaut Group 7 in September 1969. He was a member of the astronaut support crew for Apollo 16 and served as a member of the astronaut support crew for the Skylab-2, -3, and -4 missions. He also was a CAPCOM on STS-1.

November 21, 1894: The Century Of Humiliation (The Hundred Years Of National Humiliation) (1838-1945): The Sino-Japanese Wars: The First Sino-Japanese War: The Port Arthur Massacre (China) (Chinese: Lushun Da Tusha, "The Lushun Massacre"): -- In retaliation for brutal Qing Chinese war crimes committed against invading Japanese wounded and prisoners of war three days previously, The Port Arthur Massacre begins in the Chinese coastal city of Port Arthur (now Lushunkou District of Dalian, Liaoning) as Port Arthur, China, falls to the Japanese in a decisive victory. For three days (November 21-23, 1894), advance elements of the First Division of the Japanese Second Army under the command of Japanese General Yamaji Motoharu (1841-1897) killed somewhere between 2,600 Chinese civilians, 20,000 including Chinese soldiers. Reports of a massacre were first published by Canadian journalist James Creelman of the New York World, whose account was widely circulated within the United States. In 1894, the State Department ordered its ambassador to Japan, Edwin Dun, to conduct an independent investigation of Creelman's reports. After a series of battles on the Liaodong Peninsula, the First Division of the Japanese Second Army, led by General Yamaji, drew up around Port Arthur in late November. By November 18, the Japanese movement down the peninsula was temporarily frustrated and returned to find that their abandoned wounded troops had been severely mutilated, with hands and feet cut off, while others had been burned alive. The city was evacuated with residents fleeing westward by land or sea into China. The Qing government placed bounties on prisoners of war, or their heads or other body parts; during the Sino-Japanese War the bounty was 50 taels. Some Chinese soldiers had mutilated several Japanese soldiers' dead bodies and displayed them at the entrance of the city, infuriating the Japanese. Several vowed revenge, including Lieutenant Kijiro Nanbu. After only token resistance, the city fell to Japanese troops late on the morning of 21 November. What followed was a massacre of the remaining inhabitants of Port Arthur by the Japanese troops. Japanese troops entered Port Arthur at about 2:00 p.m. Upon seeing the mutilated remains of their fallen comrades, they took to killing those who remained in the town. Several accounts of the events were recorded by members of the Japanese forces, such as the diary of Makio Okabe of the Japanese 1st Division: "As we entered the town of Port Arthur, we saw the head of a Japanese soldier displayed on a wooden stake. This filled us with rage and a desire to crush any Chinese soldier. Anyone we saw in the town, we killed. The streets were filled with corpses, so many they blocked our way. We killed people in their homes; by and large, there wasn't a single house without from three to six dead. Blood was flowing and the smell was awful. We sent out search parties. We shot some, hacked at others. The Chinese troops just dropped their arms and fled. Firing and slashing, it was unbounded joy. At this time, our artillery troops were at the rear, giving three cheers [banzai] for the emperor." Thomas Cowan, correspondent for The Times, described what he saw in a private letter: "Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were spent by the soldiery in murder and pillage from dawn to dark, in mutilation, in every conceivable kind of nameless atrocity, until the town became a ghastly Inferno to be remembered with a fearsome shudder until one's dying day. I saw corpses of women and children, three or four in the streets, more in the water ... Bodies of men strewed the streets in hundreds, perhaps thousands, for we could not count - some with not a limb unsevered, some with heads hacked, cross-cut, and split lengthwise, some ripped open, not by chance but with careful precision, down and across, disembowelled and dismembered, with occasionally a dagger or bayonet thrust in the private parts. I saw groups of prisoners tied together in a bunch with their hands behind their backs, riddled with bullets for five minutes and then hewn to pieces. I saw a junk stranded on the beach, filled with fugitives of either sex and of all ages, struck by volley after volley until - I can say no more." In 1948, the Chinese Communist Party built a cemetery, Wanzhong Mu (Wanzhong Tomb) and marked the total deaths to be 20,000, which include soldiers killed in action and fleeing soldiers disguised as civilians. The 20,000 figure became the orthodox figure in Chinese communist sources. Creelman asserted up to 60,000 were killed, with only 36 spared, and even some late 20th century Japanese sources repeat the figure of 60,000. Stewart Lone discredited Creelman's claim, citing "the entire city population was not massacred, however, is suggested by the speed with which Port Arthur's streets again filled after the Japanese occupation: had the civilian population been literally decimated or destroyed, it is unlikely that others would have ventured to trade and work under Japanese occupation." The Japanese press generally avoided reporting on the massacre, or dismissed it, as when the Jiyu Shinbun called allegations "an invidious desire to detract from the glory of the Japanese Army". The Shin Choya accused Westerners of exaggerating the extent of the atrocities, and of hypocrisy in light of the atrocities they had committed throughout the East, stating that "the history of savage nations that have come in contact with Christian Occidentals is all but written in blood". Some questioned Creelman's reliability, and a rumour spread that he left for Shanghai after the fall of Port Arthur to work for the Chinese government. The Japan Weekly Mail, on the other hand, castigated the Japanese army in several articles. Attempts to launch an inquiry met resistance from those who wanted it covered up; Japanese Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu announced an inquiry that resulted in no punishments. Domestic instability kept the Chinese government under pressure to conceal the defeat, rather than castigate the Japanese for the atrocities. The China Gazette reported on the attempted cover-up: "Telegraphic notices have been sent ... all over the empire by the officials saying that a wicked report has been set on foot by the enemy that they have captured Port Arthur, but it was utterly untrue, the place being garrisoned by 30,000 brave Chinese soldiers who would never give it up to the Japanese." As late as a month later, the China Gazette reported the defeat remained unknown even to many government officials. The pro-Japanese North-China Herald attempted to defend the perpetrators of the massacre by proposing "The circumstances were such as might have taxed the control of any invading force." The incident strained the delicate foreign relations Japan had been dealing with. The war itself hurt Japan's relations with Britain, and threatened to hurt Japan's renegotiation of treaties with the US. The incident coloured Western perceptions of Japan as barbarians under a thin veil of civilization. These perceptions contributed to anti-Japanese sentiments in North America in the early 20th century, which would continue through World War II. The First Sino-Japanese War (July 25 1894 - April 17, 1895) was a war fought between the Qing dynasty of China and the Empire Of Japan primarily for influence over Joseon, a Korean dynastic kingdom that lasted for approximately five centuries. https://store.earthstation1.com/know-your-enemy-japan-1945-frank-capra-wwii-film-dvd-mp19454.html

November 20, 1926) #dies aged 87 at Kindred Hospital Santa Ana in Santa Ana, California where he had been treated for several weeks. His funeral was conducted in accordance with Buddhist tradition. His burial details are not publicly disclosed. Ton That Dinh was born in the central highlands resort town of Da Lat on November 20, 1926, into the Ton That family of Hue that were relatives of the Nguyen dynasty. Lieutenant General Ton That Dinh was a favorite of the ruling Ngo family, and received rapid promotions ahead of officers who were regarded as more capable. He converted to Roman Catholicism to curry favor with Diem and headed the military wing of the Can Lao party, a secret Catholic organization that maintained the Ngos' grip on power. At the age of 32, Dinh became the youngest ever ARVN general and the commander of the II Corps, but he was regarded as a dangerous, egotistical, and impetuous figure with a weakness for alcohol and partying. In 1962, Dinh, whom Diem regarded as one of his most loyal officers, was appointed commander of the III Corps that oversaw the region surrounding the capital Saigon, making him important to the prospects of any coup. In late 1963, as Diem became increasingly unpopular, Dinh's colleagues recruited him into a coup plot by playing on his ego and pitting him against Diem. Diem and his brother and chief advisor Ngo Dinh Nhu were aware of the plot but did not know of Dinh's involvement. Nhu planned a fake coup of his own in an attempt to trap his opponents and strengthen the family's regime. Dinh was placed in charge of the fake coup and sabotaged it. On November 1 the rebels' actual coup proceeded and the Ngo brothers were deposed and executed. After the coup, Dinh became one of the 12 members of the Military Revolutionary Council (MRC), but this lasted only three months before a coup by General Nguyen Khanh. Dinh and his colleagues were put under house arrest by Khanh and falsely accused of promoting a neutralist plot. The subsequent military trial collapsed. The generals were convicted of "lax morality", but were eventually allowed to resume their military service, albeit in meaningless desk jobs. Following Khanh's exile by another group of generals, Dinh was appointed to command the I Corps in 1966 and ordered to put down the Buddhist Uprising, but Prime Minister Nguyen Cao Ky disapproved of his conciliatory policies. Ky launched a successful surprise attack against Dinh, who fled, but was later captured and briefly imprisoned by Ky. After his release, Dinh worked in the media and was elected to the Senate in 1967. He served in the upper house until the fall of Saigon in April 1975, when he fled Vietnam. https://store.earthstation1.com/vietnam-the-10000-day-war-4-dual-layer-dvds-all-13-10000413.html

November 21, 1967: The Aftermath Of World War II: The Cold War: The Cold War In Asia: The Indochina Wars: The Vietnam War (The Second Indochina War, The Vietnam Conflict, The Resistance War Against America): The United States In The Vietnam War: -- In his November 21, 1967 address to the National Press Club, General William Westmoreland assures his audience that "We have reached an important point where the end begins to come into view." He cited a list of problems plaguing the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong, including an inability to recruit. And lest his fundamental optimism be missed, he ended his speech by invoking his goal to reach Phase IV of the war, when the communists would be on the run: "I am absolutely certain that whereas in 1965 the enemy was winning, today he is certainly losing. We are making progress. We know you want an honorable and early transition to the fourth and last phase. So do your sons and so do I. It lies within our grasp - the enemy's hopes are bankrupt." Westmoreland knew that he had put the best face on the war. He later wrote, "I permitted myself the most optimistic appraisal of the way the war was going that I had yet made." Some of his fellow generals worried he had been too optimistic-and too willing to serve LBJ's political objectives. As Army Chief Of Staff General Harold K. Johnson put it, "Westys trip has gone extremely well, and I only hope that he has not dug a hole for himself with regard to his prognostications. The platform of false prophets is crowded." General Johnson turned out to be prescient. Just ten weeks after Westmoreland's National Press Club speech, the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong launched the Tet Offensive. What Americans saw on television and read in the newspapers looked nothing like the rosy picture Westmoreland had painted. While U.S. and South Vietnamese forces ultimately turned the tide and inflicted punishing losses on the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong, in political terms everything had changed. The end was not in sight, and no one knew when it would be. On March 22, 1968, Johnson announced that Westmoreland would be leaving Vietnam to take up the post of Army Chief Of Staff. Nine days later, LBJ surprised by the nation by saying he would not seek re-election. U.S. troops would fight in Vietnam for another five years. https://store.earthstation1.com/general-william-westmoreland-biography-documentary-dvd-mp4-usb-driv4.html

Operation Ivory Coast was a mission conducted by United States Special Operations Forces and other American military elements to rescue U.S. prisoners of war during the Vietnam War. It was also the first joint military operation in United States history conducted under the direct control of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff. The specially selected raiders extensively trained and rehearsed the operation at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, while planning and intelligence gathering continued from May 25 to November 20. 1970. On 21 November 1970, a joint United States Air Force and United States Army force commanded by Air Force Brigadier General LeRoy J. Manor and Army Colonel Arthur D. "Bull" Simons landed 56 U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers by helicopter at the Son Tay prisoner-of-war camp, which was located 23 miles (37 km) west of Hanoi, North Vietnam. The objective of the operation was the recovery of 61 American prisoners of war thought to be held at the camp. It was found during the raid that the camp contained no prisoners as they had previously been moved to another camp. Despite the absence of prisoners, the raid was executed with a high degree of success, incurring only two wounded and the loss of two aircraft, one of which had been part of the plan from the start. Criticism of intelligence failures to determine that the camp was empty of U.S. POWs, both public and within the administration of President Richard Nixon, led to a major reorganization of the United States intelligence community a year later. https://store.earthstation1.com/we-can-keep-you-forever-dvd-us-powsmias-still-in-indochina.html

Over two and a half years later, on July 5, 1989: Oliver North was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gerhard A. Gesell to a three-year suspended prison term, two years probation, 150K USD in fines and 1,200 hours community service. His convictions are later overturned. The Iran-Contra Affair, also referred to as Irangate, Contragate or the Iran-Contra scandal, was a political scandal in the United States that occurred during the second term of the Reagan Administration. Senior administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo. They hoped, thereby, to fund the Contras in Nicaragua while at the same time negotiating the release of several U.S. hostages. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress. https://store.earthstation1.com/high-crimes-and-misdemeanors-the-ironcontra-scandal-dvd.html

In the Aftermath Of World War II, American workers responded to a steadily rising cost of living by striking for long-deferred pay raises and deferred labor grievances. The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, better known as the United Auto Workers (UAW), is an American labor union that represents workers in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and Canada. It was founded as part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1930s and grew rapidly from 1936 to the 1950s. The union played a major role in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party under the leadership of Walter Reuther (president 1946-1970). It was known for gaining high wages and pensions for auto workers, but it was unable to unionize auto plants built by foreign-based car makers in the South after the 1970s, and it went into a steady decline in membership; reasons for this included increased automation, decreased use of labor, movements of manufacturing (including reaction to NAFTA), and increased globalization. UAW members in the 21st century work in industries including autos and auto parts, health care, casino gambling, and higher education. The union is headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. It has more than 391,000 active members and more than 580,000 retired members in over 600 local unions, and holds 1,150 contracts with some 1,600 employers. https://store.earthstation1.com/labor-union-films-dvd.html

November 21, 1942: Highway Systems: American Highway Systems: Canadian Highway Systems: The Alaska Highway (The Alcan Highway, The Alaskan Highway, The Alaska-Canadian Highway): -- The completion of the Alaska Highway is celebrated; however, the highway is not usable by standard road vehicles until 1943. It was actually completed through Canada to Fairbanks, Alaska on October 28, 1942. It was constructed during World War II for the purpose of connecting the contiguous United States to Alaska across Canada. It begins at the junction with several Canadian highways in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and runs to Delta Junction, Alaska, via Whitehorse, Yukon. Completed in 1942 for her novel In This Our Life at a length of approximately 1,700 miles (2,700 km), as of 2012 it is 1,387 mi (2,232 km) long. The difference in distance is due to constant reconstruction of the highway, which has rerouted and straightened out numerous sections. The highway was opened to the public in 1948. Legendary over many decades for being a rough, challenging drive, the highway is now paved over its entire length; in 1957 Chevrolet, in order to sell the ruggedness of its Task Force '57 line of trucks, famously advertised them on television as "Champs of the Alcan Run". Its component highways are British Columbia Highway 97, Yukon Highway 1 and Alaska Route 2. An informal system of historic mileposts developed over the years to denote major stopping points; Delta Junction, at the end of the highway, makes reference to its location at "Historic Milepost 1422." The Alaska Highway is popularly (but unofficially) considered part of the Pan-American Highway, which extends south (despite its discontinuity in Panama) to Argentina. https://store.earthstation1.com/tv-commercials-the-classics-vol-1-dv1.html

He is buried at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Robert Benchley was born Robert Charles Benchley in Worcester, Massachusetts. Benchley's style of humor brought him respect and success during his life, from his beginnings at The Harvard Lampoon while attending Harvard University, through his many years writing essays and articles for Vanity Fair and The New Yorke, and his acclaimed short films, from his peers at the Algonquin Round Table in New York City to contemporaries in the burgeoning film industry. Benchley is best remembered for his contributions to The New Yorker, where his essays, whether topical or absurdist, influenced many modern humorists. He also made a name for himself in Hollywood, when his short film How to Sleep was a popular success and won Best Short Subject at the 1935 Academy Awards.

He played the zaniest of Bob Hope's sidekicks in Hope's popular radio shows and films of the 1940s and 1950s. With his pop-eyed facial expressions and walrus-sized handlebar moustache, Colonna was known for singing loudly in a comic caterwaul, and for his catchphrase, "Who's Yehudi?", uttered after many an old joke, although it usually had nothing to do with the joke. The line was believed to be named for violin virtuoso Yehudi Menuhin, and the search for Yehudi became a running gag on the Hope show. Colonna played a range of nitwitted characters, the best-remembered of which was a moronic professor. https://store.earthstation1.com/a-78-rpm-christmas-mp3783.html

November 21, 1944; #BOTD: #HBD! Harold Ramis, American comedian, actor, film director, producer, and screenwriter (d. February 24, 2014) is #born Harold Allen Ramis into a Jewish home in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Ruth (nee Cokee) and Nathan Ramis, who owned the Ace Food & Liquor Mart on the city's far North Side. His best-known film acting roles were as Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989) and as Russell Ziskey in Stripes (1981); he also co-wrote those films. As a director, his films include the comedies Caddyshack (1980), National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), Groundhog Day (1993), and Analyze This (1999). Ramis was the original head writer of the television series SCTV, on which he also performed, as well as a co-writer of Groundhog Day and National Lampoon's Animal House (1978). The final film that he wrote, produced, directed, and acted in was Year One (2009). Ramis's films influenced subsequent generations of comedians, comedy writers and actors. Filmmakers and actors including Jay Roach, Jake Kasdan, Adam Sandler, Peter and Bobby Farrelly have cited his films as among their favorites. Along with Danny Rubin, he won the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay for Groundhog Day. In May 2010, Ramis contracted an infection that resulted in complications from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis and lost the ability to walk. After relearning to walk he suffered a relapse of the disease in late 2011. He died of complications of the disease at his home on Chicago's North Shore, at age 69. A private funeral was held for him two days later with family, friends, and several collaborators in attendance, including Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, David Pasquesi, Andrew Alexander, and the widows of John Belushi and Bernard Sahlins. He is buried at Shalom Memorial Park in Arlington Heights. Upon Ramis's death, then-President Barack Obama released a statement, saying, "When we watched his movies -- from Animal House and Caddyshack to Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day -- we didn't just laugh until it hurt. We questioned authority. We identified with the outsider. We rooted for the underdog. And through it all, we never lost our faith in happy endings." He ended his statement by saying he hoped Ramis "received total consciousness", in reference to a line from Caddyshack. https://store.earthstation1.com/the-best-of-the-sctv-network-19881988.html
