July 31, 1588: The European Wars Of
Religion: The Eighty Years' War (The Dutch Revolt): The
Anglo-Spanish Wars: The Anglo-Spanish War (1585-1604): The Spanish
Armada (The Invincible Armada, The Enterprise Of England [Spanish:
Grande Y Felicisima Armada, "Great And Most Fortunate
Navy"]): -- The Spanish Armada is first spotted off the coast
of England, two days after the July 29, 1588 Battle Of Gravelines
took place, where English naval forces under the command of Lord
Charles Howard and Sir Francis Drake defeated the Spanish Armada
off the coast of Gravelines, France. The small port of Gravelines
was then part of Flanders in the Spanish Netherlands, close to the
border with France and the closest Spanish territory to England.
Medina Sidonia tried to re-form his fleet there and was reluctant
to sail further east knowing the danger from the shoals off
Flanders, from which his Dutch enemies had removed the sea marks.
The English had learned more of the Armada's strengths and
weaknesses during the skirmishes in the English Channel and had
concluded it was necessary to close within 100 yards (91 m) to
penetrate the oak hulls of the Spanish ships. They had spent most
of their gunpowder in the first engagements and had, after the
Isle of Wight, been forced to conserve their heavy shot and powder
for a final attack near Gravelines. During all the engagements,
the Spanish heavy guns could not easily be run in for reloading
because of their close spacing and the quantities of supplies
stowed between decks, as Francis Drake had discovered on capturing
the damaged Rosario in the Channel. Instead the gunners fired once
and then jumped to the rigging to attend to their main task as
marines ready to board enemy ships, as had been the practice in
naval warfare at the time. In fact, evidence from Armada wrecks in
Ireland shows that much of the fleet's ammunition was never spent.
Their determination to fight by boarding, rather than cannon fire
at a distance, proved a weakness for the Spanish; it had been
effective on occasions such as the battles of Lepanto and Ponta
Delgada (1582), but the English were aware of this strength and
sought to avoid it by keeping their distance. With its superior
manoeuvrability, the English fleet provoked Spanish fire while
staying out of range. The English then closed, firing repeated and
damaging broadsides into the enemy ships. This also enabled them
to maintain a position to windward so that the heeling Armada
hulls were exposed to damage below the water line. Many of the
Spanish gunners were killed or wounded by the English broadsides,
and the task of manning the cannon often fell to the regular foot
soldiers on board, who did not know how to operate the guns. The
ships were close enough for sailors on the upper decks of the
English and Spanish ships to exchange musket fire. After eight
hours, the English ships began to run out of ammunition, and some
gunners began loading objects such as chains into cannons. Around
4:00 pm, the English fired their last shots and were forced to
pull back. Five Spanish ships were lost. The galleass San Lorenzo,
flagship of Don Hugo de Moncada, ran aground at Calais and was
taken by Howard after murderous fighting between the crew, the
galley slaves, the English who eventually killed all Spanish and
slaves, and the French, who ultimately took possession of the
wreck. The galleons San Mateo and San Felipe drifted away in a
sinking condition, ran aground on the island of Walcheren the next
day, and were taken by the Dutch. One carrack ran aground near
Blankenberge; another foundered. Many other Spanish ships were
severely damaged, especially the Portuguese and some Spanish
Atlantic-class galleons (including some Neapolitan galleys) which
had to bear the brunt of the fighting during the early hours of
the battle in desperate individual actions against groups of
English ships. The Spanish plan to join with Parma's army had been
defeated and the English had gained some breathing space, but the
Armada's presence in northern waters still posed a great threat to
England. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

July 31: Shredded Wheat Day: -- Shredded
wheat is one of the oldest cereals in the world. It's made from
whole wheat and baked into pillow-shaped biscuits. Some
manufacturers have developed different varieties of shredded wheat
that include blueberry, raspberry, cherry, and cranberry flavors.
Did you know that shredded wheat is rich in vitamins and contains
a high amount of fiber that helps to prevent heart diseases and
type-2 diabetes? Shredded wheat has been around for over a
century. It was invented by Henry D. Perky in Denver, Colorado. He
came up with the idea in 1892 when, on the advice of his doctor,
Perky began to eat whole, boiled wheat, and vegetables as a
dietary cure for the diarrhea he experienced in 1890. He continued
to consume the boiled wheat until he observed another diarrhea
patient blending whole wheat with milk in 1892. The event inspired
Perky to take his boiled wheat product to his machinist friend,
William H. Ford, who helped to build a machine that shredded
boiled wheat and weaved it into pillow-shaped biscuits. Perky
didn't give as much importance to the biscuits as he did the
machine. He began to sell the biscuits to vegetarian restaurants
to create awareness until the popularity of the biscuits eclipsed
that of the machine. In 1893, Perky established a shredded
wheat-producing company, The Boston Shredded Cereal Food Company,
alongside his Cereal Machine Company. Due to energy expenses, the
company was moved to Niagara Falls, New York, where hydroelectric
power was more affordable. A series of acquisitions occurred after
Perky's death in the early 20th century. In 1928, the company was
acquired by the National Biscuit Company, and in 1993, Nabisco
sold the shredded wheat brand to Kraft-General Foods. Since then,
the shredded wheat brand has been marketed by Post, a subsidiary
of Kraft Foods. The earliest-known celebration of shredded wheat
took place on the centenary of the cereal's invention in 1992.
Although no official day was declared to celebrate the whole grain
in succeeding years, the occasion held in Niagara Falls may have
heralded the observation of Shredded Wheat Day. On Sale @ 15% Off

July 31: National Jump For Jelly Beans
Day: -- Not only is it a day set aside to appreciate jelly beans,
but it's also a day to jump for joy simply because they exist!
Jelly beans have been around for more than a century in the U.S.
and have secured themselves a position among the most consumed
candies in the country. It's not only a candy loved by most
Americans, but a candy that even President Ronald Reagan said was
so much his favorite that he gave them out as gifts. And so,
there's little wonder why it's so popular and why two holidays
were created to celebrate it. Even though widely consumed in
America, Jelly beans are not an idea original to America. These
candies have, however, taken precedence over other kinds of
candies in the country, so much so that they were even sent up as
a surprise to astronauts in space. The making of Jelly beans was
inspired by the Turkish confection known as 'Turkish delight,'
which is a soft version of this hard candy. A huge variety of
jelly beans exist where companies that produce the candy make them
in different colors for both aesthetic and identification
purposes. Additionally, a wide variety of flavors are added to the
candy to offer consumers different tastes. Although it's not known
when jelly beans began to be celebrated, two occurrences are
responsible for popularizing it. The first was in the 1860s,
during the American civil war when William Schrafft, owner of a
Boston, candy-producing company urged people to send jelly beans
to soldiers fighting in the civil war as a morale booster. His
marketing strategy proved effective and more people began to
notice and appreciate the candy. The second was when Ronald Reagan
declared jelly beans his favorite candy in the 1960s. During his
reign as president in the 1980s, a jar of it could always be found
on his desk in the White House. He was so in love with jelly beans
that at one point, a flavor was specially made for him. It was
this same fondness for the candy that prompted the president to
regularly give them out as gifts. Besides National Jump for Jelly
Beans Day, another celebration is held in April for the candy,
known simply as National Jelly Bean Day. This goes to show just
how much jelly beans are appreciated. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount

July 31: National Mutt Day: -- National
Mutt Day encourages us to embrace, save and celebrate mixed breed
dogs twice a year on July 31st and December 2nd. Desperately
longing for a new home, millions of loving and healthy mixed breed
dogs in shelters wait for someone to come and adopt them. National
Mutt Day provides an excellent opportunity to find the perfect
canine companion. Despite the name, a mutt learns, obeys and
trains much like purebred animals. While their lineage cannot be
traced and their features a bit murky, their companionship will be
faithful. According to the ASPCA, approximately 3.3 million dogs
enter shelters every year. When these abandoned and often abused
animals find their way to a shelter, each one needs a forever
home. Whether you know it or not, their potential is limitless.
Some of the benefits of adoption are often hidden. Human and
canine both enjoy increased physical activity. Another boost is
social interaction through daily walks. While humans develop
patience, their four-legged companion learns to trust and new
limits. For example, as dogs explore the many scents of the human
lifestyle, they usually discover shoes are off-limits. No matter
the breed, size or demeanor of the human, er, canine, the shelter
will take the time to find the right home for their animals. They
schedule visits and have procedures in place to promote healthy
adoptions for families and individuals. While some dogs experience
injury or illness, the shelters work with veterinarians to heal
the animals before making them available for adoption. Of course,
shelters always welcome donations and volunteers. Dogs love
walking, playing and being loved even if they haven't found their
forever home. Every moment they spend socializing increases their
opportunity for adoption. To observe #NationalMuttDay, visit a
shelter; if you are unable to adopt a dog, you can always
volunteer. Post on social media using #NationalMuttDay and
encourage others to join in. Celebrity Pet Expert and Animal
Welfare Advocate, Colleen Paige, founded National Mutt Day in
2005. Celebrate the day on both December 2 and July 31 of each
year. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

July 31: Uncommon Instrument Awareness
Day: -- It's time for music appreciation, only of the less common
variety! This day is a reminder to music lovers that there are
many special and uncommon instruments just waiting to be
discovered. This unusual holiday encourages everyone to learn
about and try a new and unusual musical instrument. Since as far
back as we can tell, societies have always considered music to be
integral to their culture. The history of uncommon instruments is,
in fact, the history of musical instruments in general. For more
about their history, read Buy A Musical Instrument Day. Today, we
focus on the history of various (now uncommon) musical
instruments. Statues in ancient Cyprus show people playing the
lyre. The British Museum exhibits one such statue of a woman
playing the lyre. Her dress and style indicate she was a member of
the upper class. The ancient Cyprians also used animal-shaped
rattles that might have been used to keep a beat, scare off evil
spirits, or as a toy for young children. The ancient Romans
invented an instrument they called 'hydraulis,' which worked when
water pressure from a tank forced air up into the keys and pipes.
While playing this instrument, they needed multiple assistants to
work the pumps that kept the water pressure high. Ancient Greeks
were also famous for their musical celebrations. Each event -
birth, death, work, and even illness - would be accompanied by
music. They used an instrument called 'auloi,' which was a pipe
made of wood, bone, or metal. Blowing into the reed inserted at
the end of this instrument would produce sound. On the other side
of the continent, in Asia, Buddhists used trumpets made of
different items - like conch shells - to call monks to services.
The ancient Egyptians, too, had their own special musical
instruments, like the harp. Examples of this are shown in scenes
covering the walls of tombs. These scenes show people plucking two
strings at a time, and they are accompanied by instruments that
resemble lutes and oboes. By the 12th century, many more musical
instruments were invented, including a medieval instrument that
resembled a guitar, called the citole. This instrument is actually
the precursor to the violin, having been converted at some point
during the 16th century. Over the years, new, amazing, and
uncommon inventions have increased the expansive variety of
musical instruments. By the 19th century, electric instruments
came around, and along with this, another unique invention. The
Soviet government had sponsored research into proximity sensors. A
researcher on the team accidentally invented an electric
instrument that can be played without being touched. While not a
commercial success initially, it has since been used in film
scores, on television, and occasionally in pop and rock music. We
can trace the history of uncommon instruments around the world,
but we are still unsure about who created this special day. All we
know is they wished to spotlight the unusual and unique musical
instruments. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

July 31: International Lifeguard
Appreciation Day: A day for honoring and appreciating those
professionals, who are saddled with the responsibility of making
sure that pool facilities and beaches are safe for visitors and
ensuring that they too are guarded while they enjoy a swim.
Lifeguards diligently dedicate not only their time but lives to
enabling a safe environment for swimmers. They instruct and keep a
constant watch on guests to prevent injury and rescue them from
life-threatening accidents. Do you know that about 10,000 people
are rescued from drowning yearly by lifeguards? What could be more
heroic than that? The first celebration of Lifeguard Appreciation
Day was in 2020. Ellis & Associates, an organization that
focuses on aquatic safety and risk management, founded the day on
July 31, 2020, to increase appreciation and awareness about the
relentless efforts of lifeguards in making pool facilities safe
for its users. The lifeguard profession became a necessity as a
result of the increasing deaths and injuries recorded in aquatic
facilities more than a century ago. Swimming became popular in
19th century America, where recreational facilities sprung up
everywhere. But the more they opened the more drowning incidents
took place in those facilities. Around 9,000 people reportedly
drown yearly. To curtail these accidents, resorts installed
lifelines in their pools but unfortunately, they were either too
difficult to grab by users or not seen quickly enough. Although a
rescue board was installed thereafter, it still didn't adequately
serve its purpose. As efforts to reduce the frequency of drowning
increased, some communities employed Police officers to serve as
rescue teams at aquatic facilities. This measure, however, brought
a decline in the number of law enforcement agents being present
where needed. Subsequently, local governments decided to hire
experts trained in water rescues. The word 'lifeguard' eventually
became associated with these men and in 1912, the Young Men's
Christian Association organized a lifesaving service to prevent
drowning incidences. Two years later in 1914, the American Red
Cross Volunteer Lifesaving Corps was founded to train swimmers in
saving lives and giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (C.P.R.) The
trained swimmers were deployed to their local communities to serve
as lifeguards. Devices were also developed to help save drowning
victims. An example of this is the famous rescue tube invented by
Pete Peterson in 1935. Today, almost all recreational facilities
and beaches employ the services of various lifeguards who
collectively work to bring the levels of drowning incidents down
to the bare minimum. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

July 31: International Lifeguard
Appreciation Day: A day for honoring and appreciating those
professionals, who are saddled with the responsibility of making
sure that pool facilities and beaches are safe for visitors and
ensuring that they too are guarded while they enjoy a swim.
Lifeguards diligently dedicate not only their time but lives to
enabling a safe environment for swimmers. They instruct and keep a
constant watch on guests to prevent injury and rescue them from
life-threatening accidents. Do you know that about 10,000 people
are rescued from drowning yearly by lifeguards? What could be more
heroic than that? The first celebration of Lifeguard Appreciation
Day was in 2020. Ellis & Associates, an organization that
focuses on aquatic safety and risk management, founded the day on
July 31, 2020, to increase appreciation and awareness about the
relentless efforts of lifeguards in making pool facilities safe
for its users. The lifeguard profession became a necessity as a
result of the increasing deaths and injuries recorded in aquatic
facilities more than a century ago. Swimming became popular in
19th century America, where recreational facilities sprung up
everywhere. But the more they opened the more drowning incidents
took place in those facilities. Around 9,000 people reportedly
drown yearly. To curtail these accidents, resorts installed
lifelines in their pools but unfortunately, they were either too
difficult to grab by users or not seen quickly enough. Although a
rescue board was installed thereafter, it still didn't adequately
serve its purpose. As efforts to reduce the frequency of drowning
increased, some communities employed Police officers to serve as
rescue teams at aquatic facilities. This measure, however, brought
a decline in the number of law enforcement agents being present
where needed. Subsequently, local governments decided to hire
experts trained in water rescues. The word 'lifeguard' eventually
became associated with these men and in 1912, the Young Men's
Christian Association organized a lifesaving service to prevent
drowning incidences. Two years later in 1914, the American Red
Cross Volunteer Lifesaving Corps was founded to train swimmers in
saving lives and giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (C.P.R.) The
trained swimmers were deployed to their local communities to serve
as lifeguards. Devices were also developed to help save drowning
victims. An example of this is the famous rescue tube invented by
Pete Peterson in 1935. Today, almost all recreational facilities
and beaches employ the services of various lifeguards who
collectively work to bring the levels of drowning incidents down
to the bare minimum. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

in mid July, and after surviving being used for target practice by
USS Iowa and two other ships southwest of Pearl Harbor, is at last
sunk by an aerial torpedo hit amidships. USS Nevada (BB-36), the
second United States Navy ship to be named after the 36th state,
was the lead ship of the two Nevada-class battleships. Launched in
1914, Nevada was a leap forward in dreadnought technology; four of
her new features would be included on almost every subsequent US
battleship: triple gun turrets, oil in place of coal for fuel,
geared steam turbines for greater range, and the "all or
nothing" armor principle. These features made Nevada,
alongside its sister ship Oklahoma, the first US Navy
"standard-type" battleships. Nevada served in both World
Wars. During the last few months of World War I, Nevada was based
in Bantry Bay, Ireland, to protect supply convoys that were
sailing to and from Great Britain. In World War II, it was one of
the battleships trapped when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
Nevada was the only battleship to get underway during the attack,
making the ship "the only bright spot in an otherwise dismal
and depressing morning" for the United States. Still, it was
hit by one torpedo and at least six bombs while steaming away from
Battleship Row, forcing the crew to beach the stricken ship on a
coral ledge. The ship continued to flood and eventually slid off
the ledge and sunk to the harbor floor. Nevada was subsequently
salvaged and modernized at Puget Sound Navy Yard, allowing it to
serve as a convoy escort in the Atlantic and as a fire-support
ship in five amphibious assaults (the invasions of Attu, Normandy,
Southern France, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa). At the end of World War
II, the Navy decided that Nevada was too old to be retained, so
they assigned it to be a target ship in the Nuclear Testing At
Bikini Atoll experiments at Bikini Atoll in July 1946 (Operation
Crossroads). After those tests, deemed unfit for further service,
Nevada was decommissioned on August 29, 1946 and sunk for naval
gunfire practice on July 31, 1948. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till

between Mark Antony (assisted by Cleopatra) and Octavian. After
the Roman Senate declared war on the Egyptian queen Cleopatra,
Antony, her lover and ally, betrayed the Roman government and

Octavian at the Battle of Actium on 2 September 31 BC, Cleopatra
and Antony withdrew to Alexandria, where Octavian besieged the
city until both Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide. Following
the end of the war, Octavian brought peace to the Roman state that
had been plagued by a century of civil wars. Octavian became the
most powerful man in the Roman world and the Senate bestowed upon
him the name of Augustus in 27 BC. Octavian, now Augustus, would
be the first Roman Emperor and would transform the
oligarchic/democratic Republic into the autocratic Roman Empire.

July 31, 1990: The Aftermath Of World War
II: The Cold War: The Origins Of The Gulf War (The Persian Gulf
War, Gulf War I): Events Leading To The Gulf War: -- Egypt and
Saudi Arabia attempt to mediate between Iraq and Kuwait with a
meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where Iraq clearly states that it
would not use armed forces against neighboring countries; however,
at dawn two days later, on August 2, the Iraqi army that was
amassed near the border suddenly invaded Kuwait, contrary to their
prior statement. On July 15, 1990, Iraq had accused Kuwait of
stealing oil from the Rumaila oil field, an Iraqi oil field near
the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border, and threatened military action in
response. In 1988 Iraq's Oil Minister, Issam al-Chalabi, stressed
a further reduction in the crude oil production quota of
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members
so as to end the 1980s oil glut. Chalabi argued that higher oil
prices would help Iraq increase its revenues and pay back its 60B
USD debt. However, given its large downstream petroleum industry,
Kuwait was less concerned about the prices of crude oil and in
1989, Kuwait requested OPEC to increase the country's total oil
production ceiling by 50% to 1.35 million bpd. Throughout much of
the 1980s, Kuwait's oil production was considerably above its
mandatory OPEC quota and this had prevented a further increase in
crude oil prices. A lack of consensus among OPEC members
undermined Iraq's efforts to end the oil glut and consequently
prevented the recovery of its war-crippled economy. According to
former Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz, "every 1 USD drop
in the price of a barrel of oil caused a 1B USD drop in Iraq's
annual revenues triggering an acute financial crisis in Baghdad".
Kuwait's refusal to decrease its oil production was viewed by Iraq
as an act of aggression against it. The increasingly tense
relations between Iraq and Kuwait were further aggravated when
Iraq alleged that Kuwait was slant-drilling across the border into
Iraq's Rumaila field. The dispute over Rumaila field started in
1960 when an Arab League declaration marked the Iraq-Kuwait border
2 miles north of the southernmost tip of the Rumaila field. During
the Iran-Iraq War, Iraqi oil drilling operations in Rumaila
declined while Kuwait's operations increased. In 1989, Iraq
accused Kuwait of using "advanced drilling techniques"
to exploit oil from its share of the Rumaila field. Iraq estimated
that 2.4B USD worth of Iraqi oil was "stolen" by Kuwait
and demanded compensation. Kuwait dismissed the accusations as a
false Iraqi ploy to justify military action against it. Several
foreign firms working in the Rumaila field also dismissed Iraq's
slant-drilling claims as a "smokescreen to disguise Iraq's
more ambitious intentions". On July 25, 1990, only a few days
before the Iraqi invasion, OPEC officials said that Kuwait and the
United Arab Emirates had agreed to a proposal to limit daily oil
output to 1.5 million barrels, thus potentially settling
differences over oil policy between Kuwait and Iraq. At the time
of the settlement, more than 100,000 Iraqi troops were deployed
along the Iraq-Kuwait border, and American officials expressed
little indication of decline in tensions despite the OPEC
settlement. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

Today, July 31, 2025
July 31, 1875: #DOTD: Andrew Johnson,
American general and politician, 17th President of the United
States from 1865 to 1869 and Freemason (b. December 29, 1808)
#dies of a stroke in Elizabethton, Tennessee aged 66, five months
into his term as a senator from Tennesee, the only former
president to serve in the Senate. He was buried in Greeneville,
Tennessee with his body wrapped in an American flag and a copy of
the U.S. Constitution placed under his head, according to his
wishes. The burial ground was dedicated as the Andrew Johnson
National Cemetery in 1906, and with his home and tailor's shop, is
part of the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site. He was born in
Raleigh, North Carolina. He assumed the presidency as he was vice
president at the time of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
Johnson was a Democrat who ran with Lincoln on the National Union
ticket, coming to office as the Civil War concluded. He favored
quick restoration of the seceded states to the Union without
protection for the former slaves. This led to conflict with the
Republican-dominated Congress, culminating in his impeachment by
the House of Representatives in 1868. He was acquitted in the
Senate by one vote. His main accomplishment as president was the
Alaska purchase. Johnson was born in poverty in Raleigh, North
Carolina, and never attended school. He was apprenticed as a
tailor and worked in several frontier towns before settling in
Greeneville, Tennessee. He served as alderman and mayor there
before being elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives in
1835. After brief service in the Tennessee Senate, Johnson was
elected to the House of Representatives in 1843, where he served
five two-year terms. He became governor of Tennessee for four
years, and was elected by the legislature to the Senate in 1857.
In his congressional service, he sought passage of the Homestead
Bill which was enacted soon after he left his Senate seat in 1862.
Southern slave states seceded to form the Confederate States of
America, including Tennessee, but Johnson remained firmly with the
Union. He was the only sitting senator from a Confederate state
who did not resign his seat upon learning of his state's
secession. In 1862, Lincoln appointed him as military governor of
Tennessee after most of it had been retaken. In 1864, Johnson was
a logical choice as running mate for Lincoln, who wished to send a
message of national unity in his re-election campaign; their
ticket easily won. Johnson was sworn in as vice president in March
1865 and gave a rambling speech, after which he secluded himself
to avoid public ridicule. Six weeks later, the assassination of
Lincoln made him president. Johnson implemented his own form of
Presidential Reconstruction, a series of proclamations directing
the seceded states to hold conventions and elections to reform
their civil governments. Southern states returned many of their
old leaders and passed Black Codes to deprive the freedmen of many
civil liberties, but Congressional Republicans refused to seat
legislators from those states and advanced legislation to overrule
the Southern actions. Johnson vetoed their bills, and
Congressional Republicans overrode him, setting a pattern for the
remainder of his presidency. Johnson opposed the Fourteenth
Amendment which gave citizenship to former slaves. In 1866, he
went on an unprecedented national tour promoting his executive
policies, seeking to break Republican opposition. As the conflict
grew between the branches of government, Congress passed the
Tenure of Office Act restricting Johnson's ability to fire Cabinet
officials. He persisted in trying to dismiss Secretary of War
Edwin Stanton, but ended up being impeached by the House of
Representatives and narrowly avoided conviction in the Senate. He
did not win the 1868 Democratic presidential nomination and left
office the following year. Johnson returned to Tennessee after his
presidency and gained some vindication when he was elected to the
Senate in 1875, making him the only former president to serve in
the Senate. Johnson's strong opposition to federally guaranteed
rights for black Americans is widely criticized; he is regarded by
many historians as one of the worst presidents in American
history. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

between Mare Nubium and Oceanus Procellarum. This landing site was
later named Mare Cognitum. The velocity at impact was 1.62 miles
per second, and the performance of the spacecraft exceeded hopes.

15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin become the first to ride

Rover, a space exploration vehicle (rover) designed to move across
the surface of the Moon. The day before, on July 30, 1971,
Astronaut Commander David Scott and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin
on the Apollo Extended Lunar Module Falcon landed on the Moon with
the first Lunar Rover. Apollo 15 was launched July 26, 1971,
13:34:00.6 UTC from Kennedy Space Center with Astronauts David
Scott, James Irwin and Alfred Worden aboard. Apollo 15 was the
ninth manned mission in the United States' Apollo program, the
fourth to land on the Moon, and the eighth successful manned
mission. It was the first of what were termed "J missions"
(longer three-day stays using an Extended Lunar Module weighing
2,900 pounds heaver than the initial LM model, with three LEVAs
and a Lunar Roving Vehicle (Apollo 15, Apollo 16, Apollo 17)),
with a greater focus on science than had been possible on previous
missions. A recording of the launch was included in the Sounds of
Earth carried by the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 space probes. The
mission began on July 26, 1971, and ended on August 7. At the
time, NASA called it the most successful manned flight ever
achieved. Commander David Scott and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin
spent three days on the Moon, including 18 1/2 hours outside the
spacecraft on lunar extra-vehicular activity (EVA). The mission
landed near Hadley Rille, in an area of the Mare Imbrium called
Palus Putredinus (Marsh of Decay). The crew explored the area
using the first lunar rover, which allowed them to travel much
farther from the Lunar Module (LM) than had been possible on
missions without the rover. They collected 77 kilograms (170 lb)
of lunar surface material. At the same time, Command Module Pilot
Alfred Worden orbited the Moon, using a Scientific Instrument
Module (SIM) in the Service Module (SM) to study the lunar surface
and environment in great detail with a panoramic camera, a
gamma-ray spectrometer, a mapping camera, a laser altimeter, a
mass spectrometer, and a lunar subsatellite deployed at the end of
Apollo 15's stay in lunar orbit (an Apollo program first). The
mission successfully accomplished its objectives, but was marred
by negative publicity that accompanied disclosure of the crew
carrying unauthorized postage stamps which they had planned to
sell after their return. Ironically, this mission was one of very
few that had been honored with the issue of a commemorative US
stamp, with this first use of a lunar rover happening one decade
after the first Mercury astronaut launch. On Sale @ 15% Off

July 31, 1932: The Interwar Period (The
Interbellum, Between The Wars): The Weimar Republic (The German
Reich, The German Republic): The Road To War: The July 1932 German
Federal Election -- The NSDAP (Nazi Party) wins more than 37% of
the vote for seats in the Reichstag (the Lower House of the Weimar
Republic's Legislature) in German elections, held following the
premature dissolution of the Reichstag. They saw great gains by
the Nazi Party, which for the first time became the largest party
in parliament but without winning a majority. Since 1929, Germany
had been suffering from the Great Depression as unemployment rose
from 8.5% to nearly 30% between 1929 and 1932, while industrial
production inside Germany dropped roughly 42%. In 1930, the
governing grand coalition of the pro-republican parties led by the
Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the German Centre
Party (also known as the Catholic Centre Party) had broken apart.
Reichsprasident Paul von Hindenburg had then appointed a minority
government headed by the Centre Party's Heinrich Bruning that
could govern only via the emergency powers given to Hindenburg to
deal with the economic and political crisis. Shortly afterwards,
in the 1930 elections, the democratic parties lost their majority
in the Reichstag, making any parliamentary government impossible.
The elections also saw Hitler's Nazi Party rise to national
prominence, which became the largest party for the first time.
Bruning's policies, implemented via presidential decree and
tolerated by parliament, failed to solve the economic crisis while
weakening the parliamentary system. In March 1932, presidential
elections pitted the incumbent Hindenburg, supported by
pro-democratic parties, against Hitler and communist Ernst
Thalmann. Hitler gained roughly a third of the vote and was thus
defeated in the second round in April by Hindenburg, who gained a
narrow majority. However, Hindenburg at the end of May 1932 was
persuaded to dismiss Bruning as chancellor, replacing him with
Franz von Papen, a renegade of the Centre Party, and a
non-partisan "Cabinet of Barons". Papen's cabinet had
almost no support in parliament and only three days after his
appointment, when faced with the opposition, had Hindenburg
dissolve the Reichstag and called for new elections, for 31 July,
so that the Reichstag could not dismiss him immediately. The
election campaign took place under violent circumstances, as Papen
lifted the token ban on the SA, the Nazi paramilitary, which
Bruning had banned during the last days of his administration.
That inevitably led to clashes with the communist paramilitants.
The elections resulted in great gains by the Nazi Party; with 230
seats, it was the first time that the largest party in parliament
did not go on to form a government. Neither the Nazi Party nor
Hindenburg had a governing majority, and the other parties refused
co-operation. Neither side had a majority on its own, and no
coalition could be formed to create a governing majority. Thus,
Papen's minority government continued, leading to another election
in November, which saw a significant drop in votes for the Nazi
Party and increases for the Communists and the national
conservative DNVP. It was the last free and fair all-German
election before the Nazi seizure of power on 30 January 1933. On

promoter and benefactor to many composers of his time, including
Frederic Chopin, Richard Wagner, Hector Berlioz, Robert Schumann,
Camille Saint-Saens, Edvard Grieg, Ole Bull, Joachim Raff, Mikhail

most prominent representatives of the New German School
(Neudeutsche Schule). He left behind an extensive and diverse body
of work in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries
and anticipated many 20th-century ideas and trends. Some of his
most notable musical contributions were the invention of the
symphonic poem, developing the concept of thematic transformation
as part of his experiments in musical form, and making radical
departures in harmony. He is best known for the Hungarian Rhapsody

Threw the Whiskey in the Well". Millinder also had first
recruited Jackson as a saxophonist, and the musicians in
Millinder's band gave him the nickname "Bull Moose" for
his appearance. He began singing when he was required to stand in
for Wynonie Harris at a show in Lubbock, Texas, himself a pioneer
of dirty blues. In 1949, Jackson covered "Why Don't You Haul
Off and Love Me", a song that been successful for Wayne Raney
and also for several country-and-western performers. Jackson
toured throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s. Around 1951, his
band included the bebop composer and arranger Tadd Dameron on
piano and Benny Golson, another jazz musician, on saxophone. Some
of Jackson's later risque material, including "Big Ten Inch
Record" and "Nosey Joe" (written by Jerry Leiber
and Mike Stoller), caused a sensation during live performances but
were too suggestive for the radio, and few of the records were
sold. However, his band faithfully played "Big Ten Inch
Record" at every show. By the mid-1950s, Jackson was tired of
touring and retired from music to work for a catering firm in
Washington, D.C., although he occasionally still performed at
private parties. In 1961, he re-recorded "I Love You, Yes I
Do" with modern high-fidelity equipment and had a minor hit.
Twenty years later, the Flashcats, a blues band that performed in
western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, regularly included
"Big Ten Inch Record" in their performances. A local DJ
reputedly told the Flashcats that he knew Bull Moose Jackson, and
the band's frontman, Carl Grefensette, found him catering at
Howard University. Grefensette convinced Jackson to perform with
them, and they quickly became a sensation in western Pennsylvania.
Jackson then made the Flashcats his backing band and began a
revival of his career. He also recorded a comeback album,
Moosemania! (1985). During the 1980s, Jackson, then in his 60s,
had an extremely successful run performing in the United States
and internationally. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

Ertegun, Turkish-American businessman, composer, singer,
songwriter, record producer and philanthropist, co-founder and
president of Atlantic Records (d. December 14, 2006) is #born
Ahmet Zahrettin Sebuhi Ertegun in Constantinople, Ottoman Empire
(now Istanbul, Turkey). Ahmet Ertegun discovered, championed, and
is the businessman most responsible for popularizing, the earliest
pioneers and many of the leading rhythm and blues, rock and roll
and rock musicians. Ertegun also wrote classic blues and pop
songs. He served as the chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
and museum, located in Cleveland, Ohio. Ertegun has been described
as "one of the most significant figures in the modern
recording industry." In 2017 he was inducted into Rhythm &
Blues Hall of Fame in recognition of his work in the music
business. Ertegun helped foster ties between the U.S. and Turkey,
his birthplace. He served as the chairman of the American Turkish
Society for over 20 years until his death. He also co-founded the
New York Cosmos soccer team of the original North American Soccer
League. In 1946, Ertegun became friends with Herb Abramson, a
dental student and A & R man (Artists & Repitoire man,
nowadays called a producer) for National Records, and they decided
to start a new independent record label for gospel, jazz, and R &
B music. Financed by family dentist Dr. Vahdi Sabit, they formed
Atlantic Records in September 1947 in New York City. The first
recording sessions took place that November. In 1949, after 22
unsuccessful record releases, including the first recordings by
Professor Longhair, Atlantic had its first major hit with Stick
McGhee's "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee". The company
expanded through the 1950s, with Jerry Wexler and, later,
Ertegun's brother Nesuhi on board as partners. Hit artists that
recorded on Atlantic included Ruth Brown, Big Joe Turner, The
Clovers, The Drifters, The Coasters LaVern Baker, Etta James, Ray
Charles and many more. Like the Erteguns, many independent record
executives were from immigrant backgrounds, including the Bihari
and the Chess brothers. The Ertegun brothers brought a jazz
sensibility (and many jazz artists) into R & B, successfully
combining blues and jazz styles from around the country. Atlantic
helped challenge the primacy of the major labels of the time by
discovering, developing, and nurturing new talent. It became the
premier rhythm and blues label in a few years and, with the help
of innovative engineer/producer Tom Dowd, set new standards in
producing high-quality recordings. Atlantic was among the first
labels to record in stereo, and in 1957 was the first record
company to utilize an 8-track tape machine. Ertegun himself wrote
a number of classic blues songs under the pseudonym "A.
Nugetre" ("Ertegun" backwards). He also wrote the
Ray Charles hit "Mess Around", with lyrics that drew
heavily on "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie". He was briefly
listed as "Nuggy" in the credits before changing to "A.
Nugetre". Ertegun was part of the shouting choral group on
Turner's "Shake, Rattle and Roll", along with Wexler and
songwriter Jesse Stone. He also wrote "Ting A Ling", a
1956 hit for The Clovers that was covered by Buddy Holly. "Fool,
Fool, Fool", another Clovers song was a hit for Kay Starr.
His "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)" was recorded by
Aretha Franklin, Ben E. King, and in an international version by
Adriano Celentano. The lyrics of "Lovey Dovey" by the
Clovers were used to a different tune by Steve Miller in his hit
"The Joker". Ahmet Ertegun died at New York-Presbyterian
Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center (sic) while in a coma
following an October 29, 2006 fall onto a concrete floor at a
Rolling Stones concert at the Beacon Theatre at West 74th Street)
on Broadway in Upper West Side, Manhattan, New York City. He is
buried in the Ertegun family plot at Ozbekler Tekkesi (Uzbek

repertoire (A & R) man. Miller was one of the most influential
people in American popular music during the 1950s and early 1960s,
both as the head of A & R at Columbia Records and as a
best-selling recording artist with an NBC television series, Sing
Along with Mitch. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music of the
University of Rochester in the early 1930s, Miller began his
musical career as a player of the oboe and English horn, making
numerous highly regarded classical and popular recordings. He was
a choral conductor on television and a recordings executive. Music
historian Will Friedwald wrote in his book Jazz Singing (Da Capo
Press, 1996) that "Miller exemplified the worst in American
pop. He first aroused the ire of intelligent listeners by trying
to turn - and darn near succeeding in turning - great artists like
Sinatra, Clooney, and Tony Bennett into hacks. Miller chose the
worst songs and put together the worst backings imaginable - not
with the hit-or-miss attitude that bad musicians traditionally
used, but with insight, forethought, careful planning, and

July 31, 2012: #DOTD: #RIP: Gore Vidal,
American novelist, screenwriter, writer, historian, critic,
satirists and public intellectual known for his patrician manner,
epigrammatic wit, and polished style of writing (b. October 3,
1925) #dies of pneumonia at his home in the Hollywood Hills at the
age of 86. A memorial service was held for him at the Gerald
Schoenfeld Theatre in New York City on August 23, 2012. He is
buried next to Howard Austen in Rock Creek Cemetery, in
Washington, D.C.. Gore Vidal was born Eugene Luther Gore Vidal
into a prominent political family; his maternal grandfather,
Thomas Pryor Gore, served as United States senator from Oklahoma
(1907-1921 and 1931-1937). He was a Democratic Party politician
who twice sought elected office; first to the United States House
Of Representatives (New York State, 1960), then to the U.S. Senate
(California, 1982). As a political commentator and essayist,
Vidal's principal subject was the history of the United States and
its society, especially how the militaristic foreign policy
reduced the country to a decadent empire. His political and
cultural essays were published in The Nation, the New Statesman,
the New York Review of Books, and Esquire magazines. As a public
intellectual, Gore Vidal's topical debates on sex, politics, and
religion with other intellectuals and writers occasionally turned
into quarrels with the likes of William F. Buckley Jr. and Norman
Mailer. As such, and because he thought all men and women are
potentially bisexual, Vidal rejected the adjectives "homosexual"
and "heterosexual" when used as nouns, as inherently
false terms used to classify and control people in society. As a
novelist Vidal explored the nature of corruption in public and
private life. His polished and erudite style of narration readily
evoked the time and place of his stories, and perceptively
delineated the psychology of his characters. His third novel, The
City and the Pillar, offended the literary, political, and moral
sensibilities of conservative book reviewers, with a
dispassionately presented male homosexual relationship. In the
historical novel genre, Vidal re-created in Julian (1964) the
imperial world of Julian the Apostate (r. AD 361-63), the Roman
emperor who used general religious toleration to re-establish
pagan polytheism to counter the political subversion of Christian
monotheism. In the genre of social satire, Myra Breckinridge
(1968) explores the mutability of gender role and sexual
orientation as being social constructs established by social
mores. In Burr (1973) and Lincoln (1984), the protagonist is
presented as "A Man of the People" and as "A Man"
in a narrative exploration of how the public and private facets of
personality affect the national politics of the U.S. Gore Vidal

July 31, 1953: #DOTD: #RIP: Robert A.
Taft, American conservative politician, lawyer, senator and
soldier, son of U.S. President and 10th Chief Justice of the U.S.
William Howard Taft (b. September 8, 1889) #dies of a a brain
hemorrhage caused by metastasized pancreatic cancer, after being
elected Senate Majority Leader earlier that year. His body lay in
state at the United States Capitol rotunda, where thousands of
mourners offered their respects at his coffin. On August 3, 1953,
a memorial service was held in the rotunda; in addition to his
family the service was attended by Eisenhower, Vice President
Nixon, the cabinet, members of the Supreme Court, and Taft's
congressional colleagues. Following the service his body was flown
to Cincinnati, where he was buried in a private ceremony at Indian
Hill Episcopal Church Cemetery. In 1957, a committee led by
Senator John F. Kennedy selected Taft as one of the five greatest
senators -- along with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John C.
Calhoun, and Robert M. La Follette Sr. -- whose portraits would
adorn the President's Room off the Senate floor. Kennedy would
feature him in Profiles in Courage, and Taft continues to be
regarded by historians as one of the most powerful senators of the
20th century. Robert Alphonso Taft Sr., a member of the Republican
Party, represented Ohio in the United States Senate and briefly
served as Senate Majority Leader. The elder son of William Howard
Taft, the 27th President of the United States, Robert Taft was
born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He pursued a legal career in Cincinnati
after graduating from Harvard Law School in 1913. Along with his
brother, Charles Phelps Taft II, he co-founded the law partnership
of Taft Stettinius And Hollister. Taft served in the Ohio House of
Representatives from 1921 to 1931 and in the Ohio Senate from 1931
to 1933. Though he lost re-election in 1932, he remained a
powerful force in state and local politics. Taft won election to
the United States Senate in 1938, defeating incumbent Democrat
Robert J. Bulkley. He became a leader of the conservative
coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats who
successfully opposed expansion of the New Deal after 1938. He also
emerged as a prominent non-interventionist and opposed U.S.
involvement into World War II prior to the Japanese Attack on
Pearl Harbor. After the war, he opposed the creation of NATO and
criticized President Harry Truman's handling of the Korean War. He
also cosponsored the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, which
banned closed shops and other labor practices. After winning
election to the Senate, Taft repeatedly sought the Republican
presidential nomination, often battling for control of the party
with the moderate faction of Republicans led by Thomas E. Dewey.
Taft's non-interventionist stances damaged his 1940 candidacy, and
the 1940 Republican National Convention nominated Wendell Willkie.
Taft sought the presidency again in 1948, but he lost to Dewey at
the 1948 Republican National Convention. Taft sought the
presidential nomination a third time in 1952 and was widely viewed
as the frontrunner. However, Dewey and other moderates convinced
General Dwight D. Eisenhower to enter the race, and Eisenhower
narrowly prevailed at the 1952 Republican National Convention and
went on to win the 1952 presidential election. Taft was elected
Senate Majority Leader in 1953 but died of pancreatic cancer later
that year. A 1957 Senate committee named Taft as one of America's
five greatest senators, along with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster,
John C. Calhoun, and Robert M. La Follette, Sr. On Sale @ 15% Off

(Vietnamese: "Keeper Of Greatness"), 13th and final
Emperor of the Nguyen dynasty, the last ruling family of Vietnam
(b. October 22, 1913) #dies at Val-de-Grace, a military hospital
in Paris, France, aged 83. He was interred in Passy Cemetery in
Paris. Bao Dai was born Nguyen Phuc Vinh Thuy in Doan-Trang-Vien
Palace, Hue, French Indochina. From 1926 to 1945, he was Emperor
of Annam, which was at that time a protectorate within French
Indochina, covering the central two-thirds of the present-day
Vietnam. Bao Dai ascended the throne in 1932. The Japanese ousted
the Vichy-French administration in March 1945 and then ruled
through Bao Dai. At this time, he renamed his country "Vietnam".
He abdicated in August 1945 when Japan surrendered. From 1949
until 1955, Bao Dai was the chief of state of the State of Vietnam
(South Vietnam). Bao Dai was criticized for being too closely
associated with France and spending much of his time outside
Vietnam. Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem eventually ousted him by
calling for a referendum vote in 1955. The campaign leading up to
the referendum was punctuated by personal attacks against the
former emperor. His supporters had no way to refute them, as
campaigning for Bao Dai was forbidden. The 23 October referendum
was widely reckoned as fraudulent, showing an implausible 98% in
favor of a republic. As it turned out, the official results showed
that the total number of votes for a republic exceeded the total
number of registered voters by some 380,000 - an obvious sign of
fraud. According to Joseph Buttinger, who was based in Vietnam as
the second in command at the International Rescue Committee, the
methods Diem used to influence the poll were "outrageous".
Buttinger said that while the monarchy was "another rotten
relic of Vietnam's past" and Bao Dai "its last, unworthy
representative", fraud and intimidation were unnecessary as
Diem would have won easily in any event. On Sale @ 15% Off

July 31, 1941: The European Civil War:
World War II: The Second European War (The European Theater Of
World War II): The Holocaust (Shoah): The Reich Chancellery
Meeting Of 12 December 1941: -- Under instructions from Adolf
Hitler, Nazi leader Hermann Goering orders SS General Reinhard
Heydrich to "submit to me as soon as possible a general plan
of the administrative material and financial measures necessary
for carrying out the desired Final Solution of the Jewish
question." The Final Solution (German: Endlosung), or the
Final Solution to the Jewish Question (German: Die Endlosung Der
Judenfrage) was a Nazi plan for the extermination of the Jews
during World War II. The "Final Solution of the Jewish
Question" was the official code name for the murder of all
Jews within reach, which was not limited to the European
continent. This policy of deliberate and systematic genocide
starting across German-occupied Europe was formulated in
procedural and geo-political terms by Nazi leadership in January
1942 at the Wannsee Conference near Berlin, and culminated in the
Holocaust, which saw the killing of 90 percent of Jewish Poles,
and two thirds of the Jewish population of Europe. The nature and
timing of the decisions that led to the Final Solution is an
intensely studied and debated aspect of the Holocaust. The program
evolved during the first 25 months of war leading to the attempt
at "murdering every last Jew in the German grasp". Most
historians agree, wrote Christopher Browning, that the Final
Solution cannot be attributed to a single decision made at one
particular point in time. "It is generally accepted the
decision-making process was prolonged and incremental." In
1940, following the Fall of France, Adolf Eichmann devised the
Madagascar Plan to move Europe's Jewish population to the French
colony, but the plan was abandoned for logistical reasons, mainly
a naval blockade. There were also preliminary plans to deport Jews
to Palestine and Siberia. In 1941, wrote Raul Hilberg, in the
first phase of the mass murder of Jews, the mobile killing units
began to pursue their victims across occupied eastern territories;
in the second phase, stretching across all of German-occupied
Europe, the Jewish victims were sent on death trains to
centralized extermination camps built for the purpose of
systematic implementation of the Final Solution. On July 31, 1941,
under orders from Hitler, Goering ordered SS General Reinhard
Heydrich to "submit to me as soon as possible a general plan
of the administrative material and financial measures necessary
for carrying out the desired Final Solution of the Jewish
question." On December 12, 1941, Adolf Hitler declared the
imminent extermination of the Jews to the highest-ranking
officials of the Nazi Party assembled at that day's Reich
Chancellery meeting. Almost all important party leaders were
present to hear Hitler declare the ongoing destruction of the
Jewish race, yet it remains less known than the later Wannsee
Conference, which decided the details of the "final solution
of the to the Jewish question". Attendance at this meeting
was obligatory for Nazis in high party offices. No official list
of the people who attended this meeting with Hitler exists, but
out of the about 50 present, the leaders of Nazi Germany known to
have been there were Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels, Martin
Bormann, Hans Frank and Philipp Bouhler; Hermann Goering was not
there, the second most powerful man in Germany and one of the
original Nazi Party leaders, because at that time he did not hold
a party office as he was commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe.
Goebbels wrote in his diary for that date: "Regarding the
Jewish Question, the Fuehrer has decided to make a clean sweep. He
prophesied to the Jews that, if they yet again brought about a
world war, they would experience their own annihilation. That was
not just a phrase. The world war is here, and the annihilation of
the Jews must be the necessary consequence.". This meeting of
Hitler' undermines claims that he was ignorant of the Holocaust,
and that it was carried out by subordinates without his knowledge;
rather, the Holocaust was the logical conclusion of his orders and
intentions, spelled out in this meeting. On January 20, 1942, The
Wannsee Conference was held in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee. The
Wannsee Conference was a meeting of senior government officials of
Nazi Germany and Schutzstaffel (SS) leaders, held in the Berlin
suburb of Wannsee on 20 January 1942. The purpose of the
conference, called by the director of the Reich Main Security
Office SS-Obergruppenfuehrer Reinhard Heydrich, was to ensure the
cooperation of administrative leaders of various government
departments in the implementation of the so-called "Final
Solution to the Jewish question" (German: Endlosung der
Judenfrage), whereby most of the Jews of German-occupied Europe
would be deported to Poland and murdered. Conference attendees
included representatives from several government ministries,
including state secretaries from the Foreign Office, the justice,
interior, and state ministries, and representatives from the SS.
In the course of the meeting, Heydrich outlined how European Jews
would be rounded up and sent to extermination camps in the General
Government (the occupied part of Poland), where they would be
killed. Soon after the Invasion Of Poland in September 1939, the
persecution of European Jewry was raised to unprecedented levels,
but systematic killing of men, women and children only began in
June 1941 after the onset of Operation Barbarossa against the
Soviets. On 31 July 1941 Hermann Goering gave written
authorization to Heydrich to prepare and submit a plan for a
"total solution of the Jewish question" in territories
under German control and to coordinate the participation of all
involved government organisations. At Wannsee, Heydrich emphasized
that once the mass deportation was complete, the SS would take
complete charge of the exterminations. A secondary goal was to
arrive at a definition of who was formally Jewish and thus

July 31, 1492: Discrimination: Jewish
History: Expulsions And Exoduses Of Jews: The Alhambra Decree (The
Edict Of Expulsion, The Edict Of Expulsion Of Jews From Spain): --
The Jews are expelled from Spain when the Alhambra Decree, also
known as the Edict of Expulsion (Spanish: Decreto de la Alhambra,
Edicto de Granada) takes effect. The Alhambra Decree was an edict
issued on March 31, 1492 by Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II
Of Aragon, the joint Catholic Monarchs of Spain, ordering their
150,000 Jewish and Muslim subjects to convert to Christianity or
face expulsion from their territories and possessions by July 31
of that year. The primary purpose was to eliminate their influence
on Spain's large former Jewish converso (coverted to Christianity,
"New Christians") population, and to thereby ensure they
did not revert to Judaism. Over half of Spain's Jews had converted
as a result of the religious persecution and pogroms which
occurred in 1391; due to continuing attacks, around 50,000 more
had converted by 1415. A further number of those remaining chose
to convert to avoid expulsion. As a result of the Alhambra Decree
and persecution in prior years, over 200,000 Jews converted to
Catholicism and between 40,000 and 100,000 were expelled, an
unknown number returning to Spain in the years following the
expulsion. This led to Mass migration of Jews from Spain to Italy,
Greece and the Mediterranean Basin. This can be seen with Jewish
Surnames as they began to show up in Italy and Greece at this
time, like Faraggi, Farag and Farachi a surname which orignates
from the Spanish City of Fraga. The edict was formally and
symbolically revoked on December 16, 1968, following the Second
Vatican Council. This was a full century after Jews had been
openly practicing their religion in Spain and synagogues were once
more legal places of worship under Spain's Laws of Religious
Freedom. In 1924, the regime of Primo de Rivera granted Spanish
citizenship to the entire Sephardic Jewish diaspora. In 2014, the
government of Spain passed a law allowing dual citizenship to
Jewish descendants who apply, to "compensate for shameful
events in the country's past." Thus, Sephardi Jews who can
prove they are the descendants of those Jews expelled from Spain
because of the Alhambra Decree can "become Spaniards without
leaving home or giving up their present nationality." On Sale

at Icacos Point in Moruga on the southern coast of the island of
Trinidad, West Indies. The original name for the island in the

French colonists from the French Caribbean, especially Martinique.
In 1889 the two islands became a single British Crown colony.

July 31, 2000: #DOTD: #RIP: Constance
Babington Smith MBE, known informally as "Babs", British
milliner, soldier, MI4 photo interpreter, journalist, writer,
beauty and Legion Of Merit Awardee, best known for her work in
imagery intelligence during World War II and as the discoverer of
the existence of the German V-1 Flying Bomb when she spotted one
at Peenemunde, Germany's Peenemunde Army Research Center (b.
October 15, 1912) #dies in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England of
undisclosed causes, aged 87. She is buried at Cambridge City
Cemetary, Cambridge, City of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England.
Constance Babington Smith was born in Puttenham, Surrey, Southern
England, the seventh of nine children of the senior civil servant
Sir Henry Babington Smith, a scion of the Babington family, an
Anglo-Irish and English gentry family whose Anglo-Irish branch is
still extant today. Babington Smith was the seventh of nine
children of the senior civil servant Sir Henry Babington Smith, a
scion of the Babington family, an Anglo-Irish and English gentry
family whose Anglo-Irish branch is still extant today. Her mother,
born Lady Elizabeth Bruce, was the daughter of the 9th Earl of
Elgin, making Constance a granddaughter of a Viceroy of India and
a great-great-granddaughter of the man who bought the Elgin
Marbles, also known as the Parthenon Marbles, a collection of
Classical Greek marble sculptures made under the supervision of
the architect and sculptor Phidias and his assistants. Her father
died in 1923, when she was ten. By then, her eldest brothers were
already adults, whilst her youngest sister was just two years old.
She was educated at home at the family home 'Chinthurst', in
Wonersh in Surrey. She finished her education in France and moved
to London in adult life. A trained milliner (hat-maker, or
hatter), she worked before the war for Aage Thaarup, a Danish-born
milliner who ran a celebrated hatmaking business in London between
the 1930s and 1970s. She also worked for Vogue magazine in London,
before venturing into journalism with The Aeroplane magazine.
Frank Whittle, the inventor of the first British jet engine, met
her once and became quite enamoured of 'Babs' and made enquiries
about the scent she used. He described her as 'an attractive young
lady who combined considerable personal charm with an intense
interest in aircraft' (her perfume was Guerlain's 'L'Heure Bleue';
she later wrote she wore it to counteract the masculinity of her
uniform). Her knowledge of aircraft took her into the Women's
Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) during the Second World War. She served
with MI4, the Central Interpretation Unit (CIU) at RAF Medmenham,
Buckinghamshire, reaching the rank of Flight Officer. Serving
alongside was her brother, Bernard Babington Smith (1905-1993),
who was also a photo interpreter (PI) at Medmenham. Another fellow
PI present at Medmenham was Winston Churchill's daughter, Sarah
Oliver. In 1942 she made an uncredited appearance in the Air
Ministry feature film Target For Tonight, along with her fellow
Medmenham colleague, Sqn Ldr Peter Riddell. In 1942, Babington
Smith was Mentioned in Dispatches for her work and in 1945 she was
awarded the Member Of The Most Excellent Order Of The British
Empire (MBE), a British order of chivalry that rewards
contributions to the arts and sciences, work with charitable and
welfare organisations, and public service outside the civil
service.. Her brother, Bernard, was also honoured for his work at
the CIU, receiving the OBE. She was portrayed in the 1965 film
Operation Crossbow by Sylvia Syms. After VE-Day Constance was
attached to USAAF Intelligence in Washington, D.C. to continue her
work on photographic interpretation, this time for the Pacific
theatre. In 1946, the United States awarded her the Legion of
Merit. From 1946 to 1950 she was a researcher for Life Magazine.
She later moved to Cambridge, Britain, where she converted to
Greek Orthodoxy and become a writer and biographer. Her war memoir
Evidence in Camera was in 1957 the first comprehensive narrative
of British photographic reconnaissance in the Second World War.
Because it was published before the revelation of the wartime
code-breaking by the British of the German Enigma and Lorenz
ciphers, this book may also have contained a measure of calculated
disinformation. Her cousin was the writer Rose Macaulay, Babington
Smith writing a biography of her published in 1972. She appeared
in several episodes of the 1977 BBC TV series The Secret War,
where she discussed her wartime work as a photo interpreter as it
related to the subject of the episode. Babington Smith was a
founder and director of the Mosquito Memorial Appeal Fund (now the
de Havilland Museum Trust) in honor of the daring photo
reconnaissance pilots that flew the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito
reconnaissance aircraft, who were primarily responsible for taking
the photographs Babington-Smith analyzed during World War II. On
