19: The Joey Ramone Birthday Bash: -- May 19, 1951: #BOTD: #HBD!
Joey Ramone, American singer and songwriter, best known as the
lead vocalist and a founding member of the punk rock band The
Ramones, whose image, voice, and tenure with The Ramones made him
a countercultural icon and who along with the guitarist Johnny
Ramone were the only two original members who stayed in the band
until the disbandment in 1996 (d. April 15, 2001) is #born Jeffrey
Ross Hyman in Queens, New York City. Joey's birthday is celebrated
annually as "The Joey Ramone Birthday Bash", hosted in
New York City by his brother Mickey Leigh and, until 2007, his
mother, Charlotte. Joey Ramone was born into the Jewish family of
Charlotte (nee Mandell) and Noel Hyman. with a parasitic twin
growing out of his back, which was incompletely formed and
surgically removed. The family resided in Forest Hills, Queens,
where Hyman and his future Ramones bandmates attended Forest Hills
High School. He grew up with his brother Mickey Leigh, who at the
age of 14 was playing in a band with John Cummings (Johnny Ramone)
and Tommy Erdelyi (Tommy Ramone), and went on to become the
guitarist of Birland, The Rattlers, Sibling Rivalry (with his
brother Joey) and STOP. Though generally a happy person, Joey was
something of an outcast, diagnosed at 18 with obsessive-compulsive
disorder and schizophrenia. Jeffrey Hyman was a fan of the
Beatles, the Who, David Bowie, and The Stooges among other bands,
particularly oldies and the Phil Spector-produced girl groups. The
Who in particular inspired him when he saw them perform, aged 16.
In 1972 Jeffrey joined the glam punk band Sniper, who played at
the Mercer Arts Center, Max's Kansas City and the Coventry,
alongside New York Dolls, Suicide, and Queen Elizabeth III. Hyman
played with Sniper under the name Jeff Starship. Hyman continued
playing with Sniper until early 1974, when he was replaced by Alan
Turner. In 1974, Jeffrey Hyman co-founded the punk rock band the
Ramones with friends John Cummings (Johnny Ramone) and Douglas
Colvin (Dee Dee Ramone). Colvin was already using the pseudonym
"Dee Dee Ramone" and the others also adopted stage names
using "Ramone" as their surname: Cummings became Johnny
Ramone and Hyman became Joey Ramone. The name "Ramone"
stems from Paul McCartney; he briefly used the stage name "Paul
Ramon" during 1960-61, when the Beatles, still an unknown
five-piece band called the Silver Beetles, did a tour of Scotland
and all took up pseudonyms; Paul used it again on the song "My
Dark Hour" from the 1969 Steve Miller album Brave New World,
where he provieded backing vocals, drums, guitar and bass guitar
using that name. Joey Ramone initially served as the group's
drummer while Dee Dee Ramone was the original vocalist. However,
when Dee Dee's vocal cords proved unable to sustain the demands of
constant live performances, Ramone's manager, Thomas Erdelyi (the
future Tommy Ramone) suggested Joey switch to vocals. Jeffrey's
brother Mickey Leigh said "I was shocked when the band came
out. Joey was the lead singer and I couldn't believe how good he
was. Because he'd been sitting in my house with my acoustic
guitar, writing these songs like 'I Don't Care', fucking up my
guitar, and suddenly he's this guy on stage who you can't take
your eyes off of." After a series of unsuccessful auditions
in search of a new drummer, Erdelyi took over on drums, and became
Tommy Ramone. The Ramones were a major influence on the punk rock
movement in the United States, Japan and throught the world,
though they achieved only minor commercial success. Their only
record with enough U.S. sales to be certified gold in Ramone's
lifetime was the compilation album "Ramones Mania".
Recognition of the band's importance built over the years, and
they are now represented in many assessments of all-time great
rock music, such as the Rolling Stone lists of the 50 Greatest
Artists of All Time and 25 Greatest Live Albums of All Time, VH1's
100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock, and Mojo's 100 Greatest Albums.
In 2002, the Ramones were voted the second greatest rock and roll
band ever in Spin, behind the Beatles. In 1996, after a tour with
the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played its final show
and then disbanded. In 1995, Ramone was diagnosed with lymphoma.
He kept his condition private until it was revealed on March 19,
2001, that he was battling the disease. He died of the illness at
New York-Presbyterian Hospital, a month before he would have
turned 50. He was reportedly listening to the song "In A
Little While" by U2 when he died. In an interview in 2014 for
Radio 538, U2 lead singer Bono confirmed that Joey Ramone's family
told him that Ramone listened to the song before he died, which
Andy Shernoff (The Dictators) also confirmed. Joey's funeral was
attended by former bandmates Tommy, Richie and C. J. Ramone, along
with Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie, and Joan Jett.
Ramone is interred at New Mount Zion Cemetery on Orient Way in
Lyndhurst, New Jersey. His solo album Don't Worry About Me was
released posthumously in 2002, and features the single "What
A Wonderful World", a cover of the Louis Armstrong standard.
On November 30, 2003, a block of East 2nd Street in New York City
was officially renamed Joey Ramone Place. It is the block where
Hyman once lived with bandmate Dee Dee Ramone and is near the
former site of the music club CBGB, where the Ramones began their
career. MTV News said: "With his trademark rose-colored
shades, black leather jacket, shoulder-length hair, ripped jeans
and alternately snarling and crooning vocals, Joey was the iconic
godfather of punk." On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight

Meeting Martin Luther King Meets Malcolm X Play DVD, Download, USB
Today, May 19, 2026
( #JCKaelin here: I grew up in Laurelton,
Queens, New York City, some ten miles south from Minister
Malcolm's home in East Elmhurst, Queens; I was born six weeks
after his daughter Qubilah, a year and a half before his daughter
Ilyasah and some two years after Attallah, all of whom are
beautiful. My first childhood friend was Gregory, whose older
brothers were members of Nation Of Islam (NOI) Mosque No. 7
(modern Masjid Malcolm Shabazz mosque) who followed Malcolm into
the Organization Of Afro-American Unity (OAAU), and whose aunts
(who showered me with affection) were Baptist emigres from the
south -- so my education in African American Civil Rights,
Liberation Theology and Black Power started when I first met Greg
in Kindergarten! There are other things that connect me to Brother
Malcolm; not least of which that I've spent much of my life
studying and analyzing his speeches :) . ) ========= May 19, 1925:
#BOTD: #HBD! Malcolm X, African American Muslim minister, black
nationalist and civil rights activist, an electric and popular
figure during the American Civil Rights Movement best known for
his advocacy for the rights of blacks (d. February 21, 1965) is
#born Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska. He relocated to New York
City's Harlem neighborhood in 1943, after spending his teenage
years in a series of foster homes following his father's murder
and his mother's hospitalization. In New York, Little engaged in
several illicit activities, and was eventually sentenced to ten
years in prison in 1946 for larceny and breaking and entering. In
prison, he joined the Nation Of Islam (NOI) and changed his name
to Malcolm X. After his release, he quickly became one of the
organization's most influential leaders after being paroled in
1952. During the civil rights movement, Malcolm X served as the
public face of the controversial group for a dozen years, where he
advocated for black supremacy, the separation of black and white
Americans, and rejected the notion of the civil rights movement
for its emphasis on racial integration. He also expressed pride in
some of the social achievements he made with the Nation,
particularly its free drug rehabilitation program. In the 1950s,
Malcolm X endured surveillance from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) for the Nation's supposed links to communism.
In the 1960s, Malcolm X began to grow disillusioned with the
Nation of Islam, and in particular, with its leader Elijah
Muhammad. Expressing many regrets about his time with them, which
he had come to regard as largely wasted, he instead embraced Sunni
Islam. Malcolm X then began to advocate for racial harmony after
completing the Hajj, whereby he also became known as el-Hajj Malik
el-Shabazz. After a brief period of travel across Africa, he
notably repudiated the Nation of Islam, and founded Muslim Mosque,
Inc. (MMI) and the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) to
emphasize Pan-Africanism. Throughout 1964, his conflict with the
Nation Of Islam intensified, and he was repeatedly sent death
threats. On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X was preparing to address
the OAAU at the Audubon Ballroom on Broadway at West 165th Street
in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City
when he was assassinated at age 39 by Thomas Hagan, Thomas
Johnson, and Norman Butler, three members of the Nation of Islam.
He is buried at Ferncliff Cemetery And Mausoleum in Hartsdale, New
York. The trio were sentenced to indeterminate life sentences, and
were required to serve a minimum of 20 years in prison. Evidence
of conspiracy regarding the assassination, and its conception and
aid by leading members of the Nation and law enforcement agencies,
have persisted for decades after the shooting. Malcolm X was
posthumously honored with Malcolm X Day, which commemorates him in
various cities and states nationwide. Hundreds of streets and
schools in the U.S. have been renamed in his honor, while the
Audubon Ballroom, the site of his assassination, was in-part
redeveloped in 2005 to accommodate the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty
Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center. On Sale @ 15% Off

May 19: Plant Something Day: --
Encourages people to take a few minutes to plant something around
them. It could be a flower, a tree, herbs, fruits, vegetables or
an indoor plant -- any plant will suffice. During the holiday,
local businesses like nurseries and landscapers usually host
community events to plant in public spaces together. People can
plant at home, in schools, in parks, and in other community
gardens. The planting initiates help to protect the environment
and enhance the beauty of public spaces. Today's an opportunity to
encourage more people to add to the vegetation in our environment.
It has been established that about 80% of the original forests on
Earth have been cleared or destroyed. About 8,000 years ago,
forests dominated the land before human activities affected them.
These days, crops are mass-produced by farmers who farm certain
crops because more of them can be grown quickly. Being able to
produce crops that are easier and inexpensive allows them to turn
a bigger profit. This means that people have to rely on the plants
that are more easily available. A majority of the most healthy
plants are not available to consumers because they may not be as
profitable for farmers to produce on a large scale. There are more
than 80,000 edible plant species. However, about 90% of the food
we eat comes from only about 30 plants. This makes the human diet
more limited than it has to be. There are many plants that are
used for medicine in different parts of the world. Both
traditional and modern medicine make use of about 70,000 plant
species to treat various ailments. Despite that, there is not
enough protection for plants. Only about 10% of the world's
plant-rich areas are protected to make sure that more plant
species can survive. Plant Something Day was established to
encourage more people to grow plants around them. This helps to
boost the number of plants in the environment. It also gives
people the opportunity to grow some plant species that they may
not have been able to access easily. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount

May 19: Celebrate Your Elected Officials
Day: -- On this day, voters get together to celebrate their
elected representatives. Elected officials or delegates include
city council members, mayors, governors, members of state
legislatures, senators, representatives in the United States
Congress, and even the President of the United States! They have
occupied powerful positions in the government because you and I
voted them to power. In any democracy, the role of the voters is
as much, if not more, important than the roles of the elected
officials. On Celebrate Your Elected Officials Day we express our
appreciation to these officials. Although the origin of Celebrate
Your Elected Officials Day is unclear, it is still widely known as
a means to appreciate the roles each individual plays to ensure a
functional representative democracy. The United States is a
representative democracy because officials are elected by
democratic elections at the federal, state, and local levels to
make decisions on behalf of the people. The president is elected
indirectly by the people. Each of the 50 states in the United
States has the power to elect its own government and create its
own laws. Each state further has three branches - a branch headed
by a governor, a legislative body, and a judicial branch. At the
local level, the states are further divided into counties,
municipalities, townships, school districts, and special
districts. Their powers vary widely between the states. The United
States also has a two-party system that is dominated by the
Democratic Party and the Republican Party, although other parties
also exist. Since the mid-20th century, the Democratic Party has
become synonymous with the American liberalism platform and the
Republican Party with American conservatism. To partake in the
United States democracy, suffrage is granted to citizens 18 years
of age and older. Although such societies aim for their elected
officials to be representative of the people, there are numerous
obstacles that democracies face, which are typically corruption
and inefficiencies. In the United States, a number of
corporations, wealthy individuals, and other political pressure
groups have been accused of spending large amounts of money on
political campaigns. This is a matter of concern since they have
the means to influence individual candidates and officeholders to
design public policy in their favor over the majority of
Americans. There are also concerns that individuals in certain
communities of racial and religious minorities do not have similar
political opportunities as compared to their majority
counterparts. While the elections in the United States have been
considered to be one of the most democratic and peaceful ones in
the world, in 2020, the United States was categorized as a "flawed
democracy." According to the Democracy Index, it has since
remained in said category after being degraded from "full
democracy" in 2016. Yet, elections in the United States
continue to be relatively more democratic than 35 hybrid and 57
authoritarian regimes in the world as of 2020. On Sale @ 15% Off

May 19: Malcolm X Day: -- An American
holiday in honor of the Muslim African American civil rights
leader Minister Malcolm X, who was a vocal advocate for black
empowerment and championed the promotion of Islam within the black
community. Malcolm X is also known to be credited with raising the
self-esteem of black Americans since he reconnected the people
with their African heritage. The holiday serves to appreciate and
celebrate the works he did in his time and the impact he had on
society. The day has been an official holiday in the municipality
of Berkeley, California since 1979, with city offices and schools
being closed. It has been an official state holiday in the state
of Illinois since 2015, and it has also been observed in Missouri
since 2019. After Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021,
there have been growing calls for Malcolm X Day to also be
observed as a federal holiday. Malcolm X was known to enjoy
organizing, leading, and preaching. He was the first preacher of
the Nation of Islam after the founder of the group and became the
official spokesperson of the movement. He was able to increase the
number of people involved in the movement from 500 people in 1952
to 30,000 people in 1963 but eventually left the movement. He went
to Saudi Arabia to make the Hajj. He was greatly impacted by his
pilgrimage to Mecca. He wrote a letter to his wife and friends
about the welcome and sincere brotherhood he experienced. He said
that what he saw in the ancient holy land pushed him to rearrange
most of the thinking patterns that he had lived in. He was ready
to throw out most of his previous conclusions and embrace a new
way of life. Malcolm X was killed in 1965 while he was speaking at
an Organization of Afro-American Unity (O.A.A.U.) rally in Harlem;
a man rushed forward and shot him once in the chest with a
sawed-off shotgun, and two other men charged the stage firing
semi-automatic handguns. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight

May 19: Ho Chi Minh's Birthday (Vietnam):
-- May 19, 1890: #BOTD: Ho Chi Minh (Vietnamese: "He Who
Enlightens"), also known as Nguyen Tat Thanh, Nguyen Ai Quoc,
Chua Ho, Bac Ho (Uncle Ho), Bac, President Ho (Ho Chu Tich) and
known to have used between 50 and 200 various other aliases and
sobriquets, Vietnamese Marxist-Leninist nationalist, revolutionary
and statesman, one of the founding members of the French Communist
Party, Prime Minister Of Vietnam from 1945 to 1955, President Of
Vietnam from 1945 until his death in 1969, Chairman and First
Secretary of the Workers' Party Of Vietnam (d. September 2, 1969)
is #born Nguyen Sinh Cung in the central Vietnamese village of Kim
Lien in the Nghe An province of the French protectorate of Annam
(Trung Ky), French Indochina; following Confucian tradition, his
father gave him a new name at the age of 10: Nguyen That Thanh.
From 1911, he left French Indochina to continue his revolutionary
activities. On February 3, 1930, he founded The Communist Party Of
Vietnam (CPV) (The Vietnamese Communist Party [VCP]); in October
1930, it was transformed into The Indochinese Communist Party
(ICP), which dissolved itself on November 11, 1945. In 1941, Ho
returned to Vietnam and founded the Viet Minh umbrella group
independence movement. He then led the August Revolution against
the Japanese in August 1945, which resulted in his proclaiming the
independence of The Democratic Republic Of Vietnam and his
becoming President. He went on to lead the longest and most costly
twentieth century war, first against the French and later the
Americans. After the French returned to power the following month,
Ho's government retreated to the Viet Bac region and began
guerrilla warfare. The Viet Minh defeated the French Union in 1954
at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, ending the First Indochina War,
and resulting in the division of Vietnam, with the Viet Minh in
control of North Vietnam, and anti-communists in control of South
Vietnam. He was a key figure in the People's Army Of Vietnam
during the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955 to 1975. Ho
officially stepped down from power in 1965 due to health problems,
though he continued to hold the title of President until his death
in 1969. With the outcome of the Vietnam war still in question, H?
Chi Minh died of heart failure at his home in Hanoi at 9:47 in the
morning at the age of 79 years old. His embalmed body is currently
on display in The President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Ba Dinh
Square in Hanoi, Vietnam, despite his will which stated that he
wanted to be cremated. Due to the sensitivity of his death being
onf Vietnam's Independence Day, the North Vietnamese government
originally delayed announcing Ho's death until the next day,
September 3. A week of mourning for his death was decreed
nationwide in North Vietnam from September 4 to 11, 1969. His
funeral was attended by about 250,000 people and 5,000 official
guests, which included many international mourners.
Representatives from 40 countries and regions were also presented.
During the mourning period, North Vietnam received more than
22,000 condolences letters from 20 organizations and 110 countries
across the world, such as France, Ethiopia, Yugoslavia, Cuba,
Zambia, China, the USSR and many others, mostly Socialist
countries. He was not initially replaced as president; instead, a
"collective leadership" composed of several ministers
and military leaders took over, known as the Politburo. During
North Vietnam's final campaign in 1975, a famous song written by
composer Huy Thuc was often sung by PAVN soldiers: "Bac Van
Cung Chung Chau Hanh Quan" ("You Are Still Marching With
Us, Uncle Ho"). During the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975,
several PAVN tanks displayed a poster with those same words on it.
The day after the battle ended, on May 1 (May Day), veteran
Australian journalist Denis Warner reported that "When the
North Vietnamese marched into Saigon yesterday, they were led by a
man who wasn't there". Thus North Vietnam was ultimately
victorious against South Vietnam and its allies. Vietnam was
officially unified in 1976. Saigon, the former capital of South

May 19, 1536: The English Monarchy (The
Monarchy Of The Kingdom Of England): Anne Boleyn, Queen Of
England: The Arrest And Imprisonment Of Anne Boleyn, Queen Of
England: The Trial Of Anne Boleyn, Queen Of England: The Execution
Of Anne Boleyn, Queen Of England: -- #DOTD: #RIP: Anne Boleyn,
Queen Of England from 1533 until her death, second wife of Henry
VIII Of England, and beauty (b. c. 1501 or 1507) #dies when she is
beheaded on charges of adultery, treason, and incest that she was
innocent of. She was buried in an unmarked grave in the Chapel of
St Peter ad Vincula at the Tower of London. Her skeleton was
identified during renovations of the chapel in 1876, in the reign
of Queen Victoria, and reinterred there in 1877. Her grave is now
clearly marked on the marble floor, although the historian Alison
Weir believes that the bones identified as belonging to Anne might
in fact be those of Catherine Howard. Henry's marriage to her, and
her subsequent execution by beheading, made her a key figure in
the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the
English Reformation. Anne was born in Blickling Hall, Norfolk,
England, the daughter of Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire, and
his wife, Lady Elizabeth Howard, and was educated in the
Netherlands and France, largely as a maid of honour to Queen
Claude of France. Anne returned to England in early 1522, to marry
her Irish cousin James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond; the marriage
plans were broken off, and instead she secured a post at court as
maid of honour to Henry VIII's wife, Catherine Of Aragon. Early in
1523 Anne was secretly betrothed to Henry Percy, son of the 5th
Earl of Northumberland, but the betrothal was broken off when
Percy's father refused to support their engagement. Cardinal
Wolsey refused the match in January 1524 and Anne was sent back
home to Hever Castle. In February or March 1526, Henry VIII began
his pursuit of Anne. She resisted his attempts to seduce her,
refusing to become his mistress, which her sister Mary had been.
It soon became the one absorbing object of Henry's desires to
annul his marriage to Catherine Of Aragon so he would be free to
marry Anne. When it became clear that Pope Clement VII would not
annul the marriage, the breaking of the Catholic Church's power in
England began. In 1532, Henry granted Anne the Marquessate of
Pembroke. Henry and Anne formally married on January 25, 1533,
after a secret wedding on November 14, 1532. On May 23, 1533,
newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer declared
Henry and Catherine's marriage null and void; five days later, he
declared Henry and Anne's marriage valid. Shortly afterwards, the
Pope decreed sentences of excommunication against Henry and
Cranmer. As a result of this marriage and these excommunications,
the first break between the Church of England and Rome took place
and the Church of England was brought under the King's control.
Anne was crowned Queen Of England on June 1, 1533. On September 7,
she gave birth to the future Queen Elizabeth I. Henry was
disappointed to have a daughter rather than a son but hoped a son
would follow and professed to love Elizabeth. Anne subsequently
had three miscarriages, and by March 1536, Henry was courting Jane
Seymour. In order to marry Jane Seymour, Henry had to find reasons
to end the marriage to Anne. Henry VIII had Anne investigated for
high treason in April 1536. On 2 May she was arrested and sent to
the Tower of London, where she was tried before a jury of peers -
which included Henry Percy, her former betrothed, and her own
uncle, Thomas Howard - and found guilty on 15 May. She was
beheaded four days later. Modern historians view the charges
against her, which included adultery, incest and plotting to kill
the king, as unconvincing. Some say that Anne was accused of
witchcraft but the indictments make no mention of this charge.
After the coronation of her daughter, Elizabeth, Anne was
venerated as a martyr and heroine of the English Reformation,
particularly through the works of John Foxe. Over the centuries,
she has inspired, or been mentioned, in many artistic and cultural
works and thereby retained her hold on the popular imagination.
She has been called "the most influential and important queen
consort England has ever had", as she provided the occasion
for Henry VIII to annul his marriage to Catherine Of Aragon and
declare the English church's independence from Rome. On Sale @ 15%

Charles I: The Second English Civil War: The Interregnum: (The

Of England: -- England becomes a republic for the next eleven
years as "An Act Declaring England To Be A Commonwealth"
is passed by the Long Parliament, and adopted by the Rump
Parliament, founding The Commonwealth Of England, the political
structure during the period from 1649 to 1660 when England and
Wales, later along with Ireland and Scotland, were governed as a
republic in the aftermath of The Second English Civil War
(February- August 1648), the trial of the former King Charles I Of
England (The High Court of Justice (1649) (January 20 - 27, 1649))
and execution of Charles I (January 30, 1649). Power in the early
Commonwealth was vested primarily in the Parliament and a Council
of State. During the period, fighting continued, particularly in
Ireland and Scotland, between the parliamentary forces and those
opposed to them, in the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland and the
Anglo-Scottish war of 1650-1652. In 1653, after dissolution of the
Rump Parliament, the Army Council adopted the Instrument of
Government which made Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of a united
"Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland",
inaugurating the period now usually known as the Protectorate.
After Cromwell's death, and following a brief period of rule under
his son, Richard Cromwell, the Protectorate Parliament was
dissolved in 1659 and the Rump Parliament recalled, starting a
process that led to the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. The
term Commonwealth is sometimes used for the whole of 1649 to 1660
- called by some the Interregnum - although for other historians,
the use of the term is limited to the years prior to Cromwell's
formal assumption of power in 1653. In retrospect, the period of
republican rule for England was a failure in the short term.
During the 11-year period, no stable government was established to
rule the English state for longer than a few months at a time.
Several administrative structures were tried, and several
Parliaments called and seated, but little in the way of
meaningful, lasting legislation was passed. The only force keeping
it together was the personality of Oliver Cromwell, who exerted
control through the military by way of the "Grandees",
being the Major-Generals and other senior military leaders of the
New Model Army. Not only did Cromwell's regime crumble into near
anarchy upon his death and the brief administration of his son,
but the monarchy he overthrew was restored in 1660, and its first
act was officially to erase all traces of any constitutional
reforms of the Republican period. Still, the memory of the
Parliamentarian cause, dubbed the Good Old Cause by the soldiers
of the New Model Army, lingered on. It would carry through English
politics and eventually result in a constitutional monarchy. The
Commonwealth period is better remembered for the military success
of Thomas Fairfax, Oliver Cromwell, and the New Model Army.
Besides resounding victories in the English Civil War, the
reformed Navy under the command of Robert Blake defeated the Dutch
in the First Anglo-Dutch War which marked the first step towards
England's naval supremacy. In Ireland, the Commonwealth period is
remembered for Cromwell's brutal subjugation of the Irish, which
continued the policies of the Tudor and Stuart periods. On Sale @

seeing Penn's fleet as it rounded Point Morant, warned Spanish
Governor Juan Ramirez de Arellano, taking Ramirez and the Spanish
by surprise, who made what few defensive preparations they could,
to no avail. When the English invaded, the Spanish freed their
slaves, who fled into the interior, where they established free
and independent communities as Maroons. Issasi was appointed
Governor in place of Ramirez, and allied with the Maroons, under
the leadership of de Bolas and de Serras, tried to frustrate
English efforts to establish control over the interior. Spanish
attempts to retake Jamaica ended with defeats at Ocho Rios in
1657, and Rio Nuevo in 1658. After this, English Governor Edward
D'Oyley persuaded de Bolas to switch sides; without their support,
Issasi finally accepted defeat, and fled to Cuba. Despite
continuing their diplomatic efforts to have it returned, Spain
eventually ceded the Colony of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands in
the 1670 Treaty of Madrid. Under British rule, the island became a
hugely profitable possession, producing large quantities of sugar
for export. In 1654, Oliver Cromwell and his Council of State
planned a surprise attack on Spanish America. There were a number
of reasons for this, including the Commonwealth's weak economic
position, and finding an outlet for large numbers of disgruntled
veterans from the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. On Sale @ 15% Off

Awards And Decorations Of The French Armed Forces: Highest
Military Awards For Gallantry: Highest Military Awards For
Gallantry Of The French Armed Forces: The Legion Of Honour
(French: Legion D'Honneur) (The Legion Of Honor): -- Napoleon
Bonaparte founds The Royal Order Of The Legion Of Honour (French:
Ordre Royal De La Legion D'Honneur), now known as The Legion Of
Honour (The Legion Of Honor), the highest French order of merit
for military and civil merits, an award since retained, with
occasional slight alterations, by all later French governments and
regimes. During the French Revolution, all of the French orders of
chivalry were abolished and replaced with Weapons of Honour. It
was the wish of Napoleon Bonaparte, the First Consul, to create a
reward to commend civilians and soldiers. From this wish was
instituted a Legion d'honneur, a body of men that was not an order
of chivalry, for Napoleon believed that France wanted a
recognition of merit rather than a new system of nobility.
However, the Legion d'honneur did use the organization of the old
French orders of chivalry, for example, the Ordre de Saint-Louis.
The insignia of the Legion d'honneur bear a resemblance to those
of the Ordre de Saint-Louis, which also used a red ribbon.
Napoleon originally created this award to ensure political
loyalty. The organization would be used as a facade to give
political favours, gifts, and concessions. The Legion D'Honneur
was loosely patterned after a Roman legion, with legionaries,
officers, commanders, regional "cohorts" and a grand
council. The highest rank was not a Grand Cross but a Grand Aigle
(Grand Eagle), a rank that wore the insignia common to a Grand
Cross. The members were paid generously upon the bestowal of the
award. Napoleon famously declared, "You call these baubles,
well, it is with baubles that men are led... Do you think that you
would be able to make men fight by reasoning? Never. That is good
only for the scholar in his study. The soldier needs glory,
distinctions, rewards." This has been often quoted as "It
is with such baubles that men are led." Napoleon was also
occasionally noted after a battle to ask who the bravest man in a
regiment was, and upon the regiment declaring the individual, the
Emperor would take the Legion d'Honneur of his own coat and pin it
on the chest of the man. The order was the first modern order of
merit. Under the monarchy, its orders had often limited to Roman
Catholics, all knights had to be noblemen, and military
decorations were restricted to officers. The Legion d'honneur,
however, was open to men of all ranks and professions; only merit
or bravery counted. The new legionnaire had to be sworn into the
Legion D'Honneur. All previous orders were Christian, or shared a
clear Christian background, whereas the Legion D'Honneur is a
secular institution. The motto of The Legion Of Honor is Honneur
Et Patrie ("Honour And Fatherland"), and its seat is the
Palais de la Legion d'Honneur next to the Musee d'Orsay, on the
left bank of the Seine in Paris. The order is divided into five
degrees of increasing distinction: Chevalier (Knight), Officier
(Officer), Commandeur (Commander), Grand Officier (Grand Officer),
and Grand-Croix (Grand Cross). On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till

May 19, 1848: The Mexican-American War
(The Mexican War): The Treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo (Spanish:
Tratado De Guadalupe Hidalgo) (The Treaty Of Peace, Friendship,
Limits, And Settlement Between The United States Of America And
The United Mexican States): -- The end of The Mexican-American War
occurs when Mexico ratifies The Treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which
for the payment by the United States 15M USD, and a further 5M USD
American payment to pay off the claims of American citizens
against Mexico, ceded the Rio Grande as a boundary for Texas, and
gave the United States land that became, between 1850 and 1912,
all or part of nine states: all of California (1850), Nevada
(1864), Utah (1896) and Arizona (1912), as well as, depending upon
interpretation, the entire state of Texas (1845), which then
included part of Kansas (1861), Colorado (1876), Oklahoma (1907),
and New Mexico (1912). Mexicans in those annexed areas had the
choice of relocating to within Mexico's new boundaries or
receiving American citizenship with full civil rights. The U.S.
Senate advised and consented to ratification of the treaty by a
vote of 38-14. The opponents of this treaty were led by the Whigs,
who had opposed the war and rejected manifest destiny in general,
and rejected this expansion in particular. The amount of land
gained by the United States from Mexico was further increased as a
result of the Gadsden Purchase of 1853, which ceded parts of
present-day southern Arizona and New Mexico to the United States.
With the defeat of its army and the fall of its capital in
September 1847, Mexico entered into negotiations with the U.S.
peace envoy, Nicholas Trist, to end the war. On the Mexican side,
there were factions that did not concede defeat or seek to engage
in negotiations. The Treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed on
February 2, 1848, in the Villa de Guadalupe Hidalgo (now a
neighborhood of Mexico City), and was ratified by the United
States on March 10 and by Mexico on May 19. The ratifications were
exchanged on May 30, and the treaty was proclaimed on July 4,
1848. On May 11, 1846: The Mexican-American War began when
American President James K. Polk asked for and received a
Declaration of War against Mexico, beginning an armed conflict
between the United States of America and the United Mexican States
(Mexico) from 1846 to 1848. It followed in the wake of the 1845
American annexation of the independent Republic of Texas, which
Mexico still considered its northeastern province and a part of
its territory after its de facto secession in the 1836 Texas
Revolution a decade earlier. In the decades preceding the war,
Native American raids in Mexico's sparsely settled north prompted
the Mexican government to sponsor migration from the United States
to the Mexican province of Texas to create a buffer. However, the
newly named "Texians" revolted against the Mexican
government of President/dictator Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who
had usurped the Mexican Constitution of 1824, in the subsequent
1836 Texas Revolution, creating a republic not recognized by
Mexico, which still claimed it as part of its national territory.
In 1845, the Texan Republic agreed to an offer of annexation by
the U.S. Congress and became the 28th state in the Union on
December 29 that year. In 1845, newly elected U.S. President James
K. Polk made a proposition to the Mexican government to purchase
the disputed lands between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande
river further south. When that offer was rejected, President Polk
moved U.S. troops commanded by Major General Zachary Taylor
further south into the disputed territory. Mexican forces attacked
an American Army outpost ("Thornton Affair") in the
occupied territory, killing 12 U.S. soldiers and capturing 52.
These same Mexican troops later laid siege to an American fort
along the Rio Grande. Polk cited this attack as an invasion of
U.S. territory and requested that the Congress declare war. U.S.
forces quickly occupied the capital town of Santa Fe de Nuevo
Mexico along the upper Rio Grande and the Pacific coast territory
province of Alta California (Upper California). They then invaded
to the south into parts of central Mexico (modern-day northeastern
Mexico and northwest Mexico). Meanwhile, the Pacific Squadron of
the United States Navy conducted a blockade and took control of
several garrisons on the Pacific coast farther south in lower Baja
California Territory. The U.S. Army, under the command of Major
General Winfield Scott, after several fierce battles of stiff
resistance from the Mexican Army outside of the capital, Mexico
City, eventually captured the city, having marched west from the
port of Veracruz, where the Americans staged their first
amphibious landing on the Gulf of Mexico coast. The 1848 Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, forced onto the remnant Mexican government,
ended the war and specified its major consequence, the Mexican
Cession of the northern territories of Alta California and Santa
Fe de Nuevo Mexico to the United States. The U.S. agreed to pay
15M USD compensation for the physical damage of the war. In
addition, the United States assumed 3.25M USD of debt already owed
earlier by the Mexican government to U.S. citizens. Mexico
acknowledged the loss of their province, later the Republic of
Texas (and now the State of Texas), and thereafter cited and
acknowledged the Rio Grande as its future northern national border
with the United States. Mexico had lost over one-third of its
original territory from its 1821 independence. The territorial
expansion of the United States toward the Pacific coast had been
the goal of Polk, the leader of the Democratic Party. At first,
the war was highly controversial in the United States, with the
Whig Party, anti-imperialists, and anti-slavery elements strongly
opposing. Critics in the United States pointed to the heavy
casualties suffered by U.S. forces compared to earlier American
wars, and the conflict's high monetary cost. The war intensified
the debate over slavery in the United States, contributing to
bitter debates that culminated in the American Civil War
(1861-1865). In Mexico, the war came in the middle of continued
domestic political turmoil, which increased into chaos during the
conflict. The military defeat and loss of territory was a
disastrous blow. For the indigenous peoples who had never accepted
Spanish or Mexican rule, the change in border meant conflicts with
a new outside power. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

"Madame," Winston responded, "if I were, I'd drink

Ataturk, known as Mustafa Kemal Pasha until 1921, and Ghazi
Mustafa Kemal from 1921 until 1934, Turkish field marshal,
revolutionary statesman, author, and the founding father of the
Republic of Turkey, serving as its first president from 1923 until
his death in 1938, regarded due to his military and political
accomplishments as one of the most important political leaders of
the 20th century (d. November 10, 1938) is #born Ali Riza Oglu
Mustafa in Salonica, Salonica Vilayet, Ottoman Empire. His second
name Kemal (meaning "perfection" or "maturity"
in Arabic) was given to him by his mathematics teacher, Captain
Uskuplu Mustafa Efendi. According to Afet Inan, his teacher gave
this name " in admiration of [Ataturk's] capability and
maturity"; according to other sources, his teacher wanted to
distinguish Ataturk from another student who was also named
Mustafa. Ataturk undertook sweeping progressive reforms, which
modernized Turkey into a secular, industrializing nation.
Ideologically a secularist and nationalist, his policies and
socio-political theories became known as Kemalism. Ataturk came to
prominence for his role in securing the Ottoman Turkish victory at
the Battle of Gallipoli (1915) during World War I. Following the
defeat and dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, he led the Turkish
National Movement, which resisted mainland Turkey's partition
among the victorious Allied powers. Establishing a provisional
government in the present-day Turkish capital Ankara (known in
English at the time as Angora), he defeated the forces sent by the
Allies, thus emerging victorious from what was later referred to
as the Turkish War Of Independence. He subsequently proceeded to
abolish the decrepit Ottoman Empire and proclaimed the foundation
of the Turkish Republic in its place. As the president of the
newly formed Turkish Republic, Ataturk initiated a rigorous
program of political, economic, and cultural reforms with the
ultimate aim of building a modern, progressive and secular
nation-state. He made primary education free and compulsory,
opening thousands of new schools all over the country. He also
introduced the Latin-based Turkish alphabet, replacing the old
Ottoman Turkish alphabet. Turkish women received equal civil and
political rights during Ataturk's presidency. In particular, women
were given voting rights in local elections by Act no. 1580 on
April 3, 1930 and a few years later, in 1934, full universal
suffrage. His government carried out a policy of Turkification,
trying to create a homogeneous, unified and above all secular
nation under the Turkish banner. Under Ataturk, the minorities in
Turkey were asked to speak Turkish in public, but were allowed to
maintain their own languages in private; non-Turkish toponyms were
replaced and minorities were ordered to get a Turkish surname. The
Turkish Parliament granted him the surname Ataturk in 1934, which
means "Father Of The Turks", in recognition of the role
he played in building the modern Turkish Republic. Mustafa Kemal
Ataturk died at Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul, Turkey at the age
of 57. He was succeeded as president by his long-time prime
minister Ismet Inonu. His state funeral was held in the capital
city of Ankara on November 21, 1938 and was attended by
dignitaries from seventeen nations. A delegation from The League
Of Nations was also present at the funeral procession. The cortege
with Ataturk's flag-covered casket on a horse-drawn caisson
processed to the Ethnography Museum of Ankara escorted also by
nine armed detachments from foreign nations, among them British,
Iranian and Yugoslavian guards of honor. His body remained at the
Ethnography Museum of Ankara until November 10, 1953, the
fifteenth anniversary of his death, when his remains were carried
to his final resting place at Anitkabir mausoleum complex. In
1981, the centennial of Ataturk's birth, his memory was honoured
by the United Nations and UNESCO, which declared it The Ataturk
Year in the World and adopted the Resolution on the Ataturk
Centennial, describing him as "the leader of the first
struggle given against colonialism and imperialism" and a
"remarkable promoter of the sense of understanding between
peoples and durable peace between the nations of the world and
that he worked all his life for the development of harmony and
cooperation between peoples without distinction". Ataturk was
also credited for his peace in the world-oriented foreign policy
and friendship with neighboring countries such as Iran,
Yugoslavia, Iraq, and Greece, as well as the creation of the
Balkan Pact that resisted the expansionist aggressions of Fascist
Italy and the Tsarist Bulgaria. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till

May 19, 1891: #BOTD: #HBD! Oswald
Boelcke, German captain, Pour le Merite recipient World War I
flying ace known as "The Father Of Air Fighting Tactics"
(d. October 28, 1916) is #born in Giebichenstein, Province of
Saxony, Prussia; near Halle (Saale) (now a city district of Halle,
Germany). He was the first person to formalize rules of air
fighting, which he presented as the Dicta Boelcke, or The Dicta of
Boelcke. Boelcke was credited with 40 aerial combat victories, and
was one of the most influential patrol leaders and tacticians of
the early years of air combat. Boelcke is honored as the father of
the German fighter air force. The German flying ace Manfred von
Richthofen (The Red Baron) had been taught by Boelcke. Boelcke
fulfilled his childhood dream of a military career by joining the
Imperial German Army in July 1912. He followed his interest in
aviation, learning to fly as World War I began. After duty as an
observer during 1914, he became one of the original fighter pilots
during 1915. He and Max Immelmann were the first German fighter
pilots awarded the Pour le Merite. When Immelmann was killed in
combat in June 1916, the German high command grounded Boelcke
after his 19th victory. During his month's forced grounding, he
was tasked to help transform the Army's Fliegertruppe (Flying
Troops) air arm into the Luftstreitkrafte (Air Force) by October
1916. His innovative turn of mind codified his combat experiences
into the first ever manual of fighter tactics distributed to an
air force, the Dicta Boelcke. The Dicta promulgated axioms for
individual pilot success, as well as a requirement for teamwork
directed by a formation's leader. Present day tactics manuals stem
from the Dicta. After a month's holiday leave spent on a military
inspection tour of Turkish facilities, Boelcke was picked to lead
one of Germany's first fighter squadrons, Jagdstaffel 2 (Fighter
Squadron 2, also known as Jasta 2, Jagdstaffel Zwei in full, and
Jasta Boelcke). By the end of the war, this squadron had 25 aces
in its ranks, and four of its members became generals during World
War II. During the short time before his death, Boelcke became the
world's leading fighter pilot, scoring 21 more victories while
commanding Jagdstaffel 2. Oswald Boelcke died when his Fokker
Eindecker fighter plane collided in mid-air with that of his
fellow Jagdstaffel 2 airman and best friend Erwin Boehme. Although
the crash seemed survivable, Boelcke was not wearing his crash
helmet, nor was his safety belt fastened. He died of a fractured
skull. Boehme returned to base and overturned while landing,
blanking the accident from his mind in his distress. He lamented,
"Destiny is generally cruelly stupid in her choices..."
but he was exonerated by an enquiry. Pilots from Jagdstaffel 2
rushed forward to the artillery position where Boelcke had
crashed, hoping he was still alive. The gunners handed over his
body to them. Despite Boelcke being Protestant, his memorial
service was held in the Catholic Cambrai Cathedral on 31 October.
Among the many wreaths, there was one from British Captain R. E.
Wilson, whom Boelcke had shot down on September 2 and whom Boelcke
had hosted in the squadron mess before returning the British flier
to captivity as a POW; the wreath was also from three of Wilson's
fellow prisoners; its ribbon was addressed to "The opponent
we admired and esteemed so highly". Another wreath of British
origin had been air dropped at the authorization of the Royal
Flying Corps; it read "To the memory of Captain Boelcke, our
brave and chivalrous opponent". Rupprecht, Crown Prince of
Bavaria attended the ceremony and two generals spoke at the
service. Richthofen preceded the coffin from the cathedral,
displaying Boelcke's decorations. The sun broke through the gloom
as the coffin was placed on a gun caisson. Idling aircraft
criss-crossed overhead in tribute. The journey to a waiting train
passed through an honor guard to the sound of rifle salutes,
followed by a hymn. The train crept away through Magdeburg and
Halberstadt to Dessau. When the train arrived in Dessau the next
day, Boelcke was taken to his home church, Saint John's and laid
out before the altar, attended by an honor guard of decorated
sergeant pilots. Condolences, decorations and honors flooded in
from the crowned heads of Europe. When the funeral service was
held on the afternoon of November 2, the crowd was packed with
royalty, generals and nobility. General Moriz von Lyncker gave
Boelcke's funeral oration, followed by a speech by Lieth-Thomsen.

May 19, 1919: The Aftermath Of World War
I: 20th Century Revolutions: The Revolutions Of 1917-1923: The
Turkish War of Independence: -- Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the hero of
the Turkish forces at The Battle Of Gallipoli during World War I,
lands at Samsun on the Anatolian Black Sea coast, on his 38th
birthday, initiating what is later termed the Turkish War Of
Independence (May 19, 1919 - July 24, 1923), a series of military
campaigns waged by the Turkish National Movement after parts of
the Ottoman Empire were occupied and partitioned following its
defeat in World War I. These campaigns were directed against
Greece in the west, Armenia in the east, France in the south,
loyalists and separatists in various cities, and British and
Ottoman troops around Constantinople (Istanbul). The ethnic
demographics of the modern Turkish Republic were significantly
impacted by the earlier Armenian genocide and the deportations of
Greek-speaking, Orthodox Christian Rum people. The Turkish
nationalist movement carried out massacres and deportations to
eliminate native Christian populations-a continuation of the
Armenian genocide and other ethnic cleansing operations during
World War I. Following these campaigns of ethnic cleansing the
historic Christian presence in Anatolia was destroyed, in large
part, and the Muslim demographic had increased from 80% to 98%.
While World War I ended for the Ottoman Empire with the Armistice
of Mudros, the Allied Powers continued occupying and seizing land
for imperialist designs, as well as to prosecute former members of
the Committee of Union and Progress and those involved in the
Armenian genocide. Ottoman military commanders therefore refused
orders from both the Allies and the Ottoman government to
surrender and disband their forces. This crisis reached a head
when sultan Mehmed VI dispatched Mustafa Kemal Pasha (Ataturk), a
well-respected and high-ranking general, to Anatolia to restore
order; however, Mustafa Kemal became an enabler and eventually
leader of Turkish nationalist resistance against the Ottoman
government, Allied powers, and Christian minorities. In an attempt
to establish control over the power vacuum in Anatolia, the Allies
persuaded Greek Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos to launch an
expeditionary force into Anatolia and occupy Smyrna (Izmir),
beginning the Turkish War Of Independence. A nationalist counter
government led by Mustafa Kemal was established in Ankara when it
became clear the Ottoman government was backing the Allied powers.
The Allies soon pressured the Ottoman government in Constantinople
into suspending the Constitution, shuttering the Parliament, and
signing the Treaty of Sevres, a treaty unfavorable to Turkish
interests that the "Ankara government" declared illegal.
In the ensuing war, irregular militia defeated the French forces
in the south, and undemobilized units went on to partition Armenia
with Bolshevik forces, resulting in the Treaty of Kars (October
1921). The Western Front of the independence war was known as the
Greco-Turkish War, in which Greek forces at first encountered
unorganized resistance. However Ismet Pasha's organization of
militia into a regular army paid off when Ankara forces fought the
Greeks in the First and Second Battle of Inonu. The Greek army
emerged victorious in the Battle of Kutahya-Eskisehir and decided
to drive on the nationalist capital of Ankara, stretching their
supply lines. The Turks checked their advance in the Battle of
Sakarya and counter-attacked in the Great Offensive, which
expelled Greek forces from Anatolia in the span of three weeks.
The war effectively ended with the recapture of Izmir and the
Chanak Crisis, prompting the signing of another armistice in
Mudanya. The Grand National Assembly in Ankara was recognized as
the legitimate Turkish government, which signed the Treaty of
Lausanne (July 1923), a treaty more favorable to Turkey than the
Sevres Treaty. The Allies evacuated Anatolia and Eastern Thrace,
the Ottoman government was overthrown and the monarchy abolished,
and the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (which remains Turkey's
primary legislative body today) declared the Republic of Turkey on
October 29, 1923. With the war, a population exchange between
Greece and Turkey, the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire, and the
abolition of the sultanate, the Ottoman era came to an end, and
with Ataturk's reforms, the Turks created the modern, secular
nation-state of Turkey. On March 3, 1924, the Ottoman caliphate
was also abolished. On Sale @ 15% Off Discount Till Midnight PT!

May 19, 1925: #BOTD: Pol Pot, Cambodian
general, Khmer nationalist, Marxist-Leninist revolutionary,
dictator, mass murderer, politician and psychopath, 29th Prime
Minister of Cambodia (d. April 15, 1998) is #born Saloth Sar (the
word sar, Khmer for "white, pale", referencied his
comparatively light skin complexion) in the small fishing village
of Prek Sbauv, alongside the Sen River in north-eastern Cambodia,
outside the city of Kampong Thom, the capital city of Kampong Thom
Province, French Indochina (modern Cambodia), lying on the bank of
the Steung Saen River. Pot served as the Prime Minister of
Democratic Kampuchea from 1976 to 1979. Ideologically a he led the
Khmer Rouge group from 1963 until 1997. From 1963 to 1981, he
served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of
Kampuchea. He was born to a prosperous farmer in Prek Sbauv,
French Cambodia, and was educated at some of Cambodia's elite
schools. In the 1940s he moved to Paris, France, where he joined
the French Communist Party and adopted Marxism-Leninism,
particularly as it was presented in the writings of Joseph Stalin
and Mao Zedong. Returning to Cambodia in 1953, he joined the
Marxist-Leninist Khmer Viet Minh organisation in its guerrilla war
against King Norodom Sihanouk's newly independent government.
Following the Khmer Viet Minh's 1954 retreat into North Vietnam,
Pol Pot returned to Phnom Penh, working as a teacher while
remaining a central member of the Cambodian Marxist-Leninist
movement. In 1959 he helped to convert the movement into the
Kampuchean Labour Party, later renamed the Communist Party of
Kampuchea, and in 1960 took control of it as party secretary. To
avoid state repression, in 1962 he relocated to a Viet Cong
encampment in the jungle before visiting Hanoi and Beijing. In
1968, he re-launched the war against Sihanouk. Renaming the
country Democratic Kampuchea and seeking to create an agrarian
socialist society, Pol Pot's government forcibly relocated the
urban population to the countryside to work on collective farms.
Those regarded as enemies of the new government were killed. These
mass killings, coupled with malnutrition and disease, resulting in
genocide that killed between 1.5 to 3 million people.
Marxist-Leninists unhappy with Pol Pot's government encouraged
Vietnamese intervention. In 1978, the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia,
toppling Pol Pot's government in 1979. The Vietnamese installed a
rival Marxist-Leninist faction opposed to Pol Pot and renamed the
country as the People's Republic of Kampuchea. Pol Pot and his
Khmer Rouge retreated to a jungle base near the Thai border. Until
1993, they remained part of a coalition internationally recognized
as Cambodia's rightful government. The Ta Mok faction placed Pol
Pot under house arrest at Choam, Trapeang Prei, Anlong Veng, Oddar
Meanchey, Cambodia, where he died in his sleep of a heart attack,
aged 72. American freelance journalist Nate Thayer, who was
present, claimed that Pol Pot killed himself when he became aware
of Ta Mok's plan to hand him over to the United States, saying
that "Pol Pot died after ingesting a lethal dose of a
combination of Valium and chloroquine". His body was
preserved with ice after an improvised embalming with formaldehyde
had failed, so that his death could be verified by journalists
attending his funeral. Three days later, his second and final wife
Mea Son cremated his body in Anlong Veng, Cambodia on a pyre of
tyres and rubbish, which included his toilet, utilising
traditional Buddhist funerary rites. His ashes are buried in
Anlong Veng. Before the month of May was out, Mea Son fled to
Malaysia with Tep Khunnal, one of Pol Pot's closest advisors,
where they married and defected from the Khmer Rouge to the
Cambodian government. They live in Phnom Malai, which was once a
Khmer Rouge stronghold. Mea Son and her husband have several
children of their own. They now live in comfort as they've become
owners of an agricultural export company and a farmer's bank.
Ironically, they are now the very same class of people their Khmer
Rouge regime viciously targeted and brutally murdered. Even so,
her husband recently asserted that he has no remorse for his past
as a high ranking member of the Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge
themselves continued to face territorial losses to the Cambodian
Army and in March 1999 Ta Mok was also captured, and the Khmer
Rouge effectively ceased to exist. The combined effects of
executions, strenuous working conditions, malnutrition and poor
medical care caused the deaths of approximately 25 percent of the
Cambodian population. In all, an estimated 1 to 3 million people
(out of a population of slightly over 8 million) perished as a
result of the policies of his four-year premiership. On Sale @ 15%

May 19, 1932: #BOTD: #HBD! Alma Cogan,
English singer of traditional pop music in the 1950s and early
1960s, known as the "Girl with the Giggle in Her Voice",
the highest paid British female entertainer of her era (d. October
26, 1966) is #born Alma Angela Cohen Kogin in Whitechapel, London,
of Russian-Romanian Jewish descent. Her father's family, the
Kogins, arrived in Britain from Russia, while her mother's family
were refugees from Romania. Cogan's parents, Mark and Fay Cogan,
had another daughter, the actress Sandra Caron, who went on to
play "Mumsey" in The Crystal Maze, and one son, Ivor
Cogan. Mark's work as a haberdasher entailed frequent moves. One
of Cogan's early homes was over his shop in Worthing, Sussex.
Although Jewish, she attended St Joseph's Convent School in
Reading. Her father was a singer, but it was Cogan's mother who
had showbusiness aspirations for both her daughters (she had named
Cogan after silent screen star Alma Taylor). Cogan first performed
in public at a charity show at the Palace Theatre in Reading, and
at the age of eleven, competed in the "Sussex Queen of Song"
contest held at a Brighton hotel, winning a prize of 5 Pounds
Sterling. Aged 14, she was recommended by Vera Lynn for a variety
show at the Grand Theatre in Brighton. At 16 she was told by
bandleader Ted Heath "You've got a good voice, but you're far
too young for this business. Come back in five years' time."
Heath would later say: "'Letting her go was one of the
biggest mistakes of my life." But Cogan found work singing at
tea dances, while also studying dress design at Worthing Art
College, and was soon appearing in the musical High Button Shoes
and a revue, Sauce Tartare. She became resident singer at the
Cumberland Hotel in 1949, where she was spotted by EMI producer
Walter Ridley, who became her coach and signed her to HMV. Cogan's
first release was "To Be Worthy of You" / "Would
You", recorded on her 20th birthday. This led to her
appearing regularly on comedian Dick Bentley's BBC's radio show
Gently Bentley, and then becoming the vocalist for the BBC Radio
comedy programme Take It From Here, replacing Joy Nichols, from
1953 to the end of its run in 1960. In 1953, whilst in the middle
of recording "If I Had a Golden Umbrella", she broke
into a giggle; she then played up the effect on later recordings.
Soon enough, she was dubbed the "Girl with the giggle in her
voice" ("Giggle" has sometimes been quoted as
"chuckle".) Many of her recordings were covers of U.S.
hits, especially those recorded by Rosemary Clooney, Teresa
Brewer, Georgia Gibbs, Joni James and Dinah Shore. Her voice was
often compared with Doris Day's. One of these covers, "Bell
Bottom Blues", became her first hit, reaching no. 4 on April
3, 1954. Cogan would appear in the UK Singles Chart eighteen times
in the 1950s, with "Dreamboat" reaching no. 1. Other
hits from this period include "I Can't Tell a Waltz from a
Tango", "Why Do Fools Fall in Love", "Sugartime"
and "The Story of My Life". Cogan's first album, I Love
to Sing, was released in 1958. Cogan was one of the first UK
recording artists to appear frequently on television, where her
powerful voice could be showcased along with her bubbly
personality and dramatic costumes. Her hooped skirts with sequins
and figure-hugging tops were reputedly designed by herself and
never worn twice. Cliff Richard recalls: "My first impression
of her was definitely frocks - I kept thinking, how many can this
woman have? Almost every song had a different costume. The skirts
seemed to be so wide - I don't know where they hung them up!"
Cogan topped the annual NME reader's poll as "Outstanding
British Female Singer" four times between 1956 and 1960. The
UK musical revolution of the 1960s, symbolised by the rise of the
Beatles, suddenly made Cogan unfashionable; in the 1991 BBC
documentary Alma Cogan: The Girl with the Giggle in Her Voice,
Lionel Blair said she was perceived as "square". Her
highest 1960s chart ranking in the UK was no. 26 with "We Got
Love", and most of her successes at this time were abroad,
notably in Sweden and Japan. She was especially disappointed that
her 1963 cover of the Exciters' US hit "Tell Him" did
not return her to the UK charts, according to singer Eddie
Grassham. In 1964, Cogan recorded "Tennessee Waltz" in a
rock-and-roll ballad style; this version was no. 1 in Sweden for
five weeks and also reached the top 20 in Denmark, while a German
language rendering reached no. 10 in Germany. She had another
number one hit in Sweden in 1965, "The Birds and the Bees".
Cogan also wrote some of her own songs. She co-wrote her 1963
record "Just Once More" (under the pseudonym of "Al
Western") with her long-time pianist Stan Foster; her 1964
record "It's You" was also a Cogan-Foster collaboration,
although this time she was credited under her own name. "Just
Once More" peaked at no. 10 in the Swedish Voting Chart "Tio
i Topp" in October 1963. She continued to be a popular figure
on the UK showbusiness scene, being offered the part of Nancy in
Oliver!, appearing on the teenage hit-show Ready Steady Go!, and
headlining at the Talk of the Town. Cogan lived with her widowed
mother in Kensington High Street (at 44 Stafford Court) in a
lavishly decorated ground-floor flat where she frequently
entertained other celebrities. Regular visitors included Princess
Margaret, Noel Coward, Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Michael Caine,
Frankie Vaughan, Bruce Forsyth and Roger Moore. John Lennon once
recalled that, when he was a teenager, he used to mimic her
savagely during his time at the Liverpool College of Art. Lennon's
wife Cynthia also recalled, "John and I had thought of Alma
[as] out of date and unhip." But after Lennon actually met
Cogan on the TV pop show Ready Steady Go! in 1964, they became
close friends, so much so that Cogan's sister Sandra later said
that the pair had a serious romance that had to be kept secret
because of Alma's family's strict Jewish faith. Cogan was close to
the other Beatles as well, especially Paul McCartney, who first
played the melody of "Yesterday" on her piano; he also
played tambourine on her recording of "I Knew Right Away".
Cogan tried to update her image by recording some Beatles numbers
and a spin-off from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. ("Love Ya
Illya"). But by 1965 record producers were becoming
dissatisfied with Cogan's work, and it was clear that her health
was failing. Cogan embarked on a series of club dates in the North
of England in early 1966, but collapsed after two performances and
had to be treated for stomach cancer. She made her final TV
appearance in August, on the guest-spot of International Cabaret.
The following month she collapsed while touring Sweden to promote
Hello Baby, recorded exclusively for the Swedish market. She died
of ovarian cancer at London's Middlesex Hospital at the age of 34.
In deference to family custom, her death was observed with
traditional Jewish rites, with burial at the Jewish Cemetery in
Bushey, Hertfordshire. Alma Cogan died of ovarian cancer at
London's Middlesex Hospital at the age of 34. She is buried at
Bushey Jewish Cemetery in Bushey, Hertfordshire, England. On Sale

May 19, 1945: #BOTD: #HBD! Pete
Townshend, English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalistand
guitarist ,best known for his more than 50-year association with
the rock band The Who, as co-founder and leader, principal
songwriter, guitarist and secondary lead vocalist, is #born Peter
Dennis Blandford Townshend at the Chiswick Hospital, Netheravon
Road, Chiswick, West London, England. He came from a musical
family: his father, Cliff Townshend, was a professional alto
saxophonist in the Royal Air Force's dance band the Squadronaires
and his mother, Betty (nee Dennis), was a singer with the Sydney
Torch and Les Douglass Orchestras. The Townshends had a volatile
marriage, as both drank heavily and possessed fiery tempers. Cliff
Townshend was often away from his family touring with his band
while Betty carried on affairs with other men. The two split when
Townshend was a toddler and he was sent to live with his maternal
grandmother Emma Dennis, whom Pete later described as "clinically
insane". The two-year separation ended when Cliff and Betty
purchased a house together on Woodgrange Avenue in middle-class
Acton, and the young Pete was happily reunited with his parents.
His neighbourhood was one-third Polish, and a devout Jewish family
upstairs shared their housing with them and cooking with them -
many of his father's closest friends were Jewish. Townshend says
he did not have many friends growing up, so he spent much of his
boyhood reading adventure novels like Gulliver's Travels and
Treasure Island. He enjoyed his family's frequent excursions to
the seaside and the Isle of Man. It was on one of these trips in
the summer of 1956 that he repeatedly watched the 1956 film Rock
Around the Clock, sparking his fascination with American rock and
roll. Not long thereafter, he went to see Bill Haley perform in
London, Townshend's first concert. The Who is considered to be one
of the most important and influential rock bands of the 20th
century. Townshend has written more than 100 songs for 12 The Who
studio albums. These include concept albums, the rock operas Tommy
and Quadrophenia, plus popular rock radio staples such as Who's
Next; as well as dozens more that appeared as non-album singles,
bonus tracks on reissues, and tracks on rarities compilations such
as Odds & Sods (1974). He has also written more than 100 songs
that have appeared on his solo albums, as well as radio jingles
and television theme songs. As an instrumentalist, although known
primarily as a guitarist, Townshend also plays keyboards, banjo,
accordion, harmonica, ukulele, mandolin, violin, synthesiser, bass
guitar, and drums. He is self-taught on all of these instruments.
He plays on his own solo albums, several The Who albums, and as a
guest contributor to an array of other artists' recordings.
Townshend has also contributed to and authored many newspaper and
magazine articles, book reviews, essays, books, and scripts, and
he has collaborated as a lyricist and composer for many other
musical acts. Due to his aggressive playing style and innovative
songwriting techniques, Townshend's works with The Who and in
other projects have earned him critical acclaim. In 1983,
Townshend received the Brit Award for Lifetime Achievement and in
1990 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a
member of the Who. Townshend was ranked No. 3 in Dave Marsh's 1994
list of Best Guitarists in The New Book of Rock Lists. In 2001, he
received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as a member of the
Who; and in 2008 he received Kennedy Center Honors. He was ranked
No. 10 in Gibson.com's 2011 list of the top 50 guitarists, and No.
10 in Rolling Stone's updated 2011 list of the 100 greatest
guitarists of all time. He and Roger Daltrey received The George
and Ira Gershwin Award for Lifetime Musical Achievement at UCLA on

Trail was a logistical network of roads and trails that ran from
North Vietnam to South Vietnam through the kingdoms of Laos and
Cambodia. The system provided support, in the form of manpower and
materiel, to the Viet Cong (or "VC") and the People's
Army of Vietnam (PAVN), during the Vietnam War. Construction for
the network began following the North Vietnamese invasion of Laos
in July 1959. It was named by the U.S. after the North Vietnamese
president H? Chi Minh. The origin of the name is presumed to have
came from the First Indochina War, when there was a Viet Minh
maritime logistics line called the "Route of Ho Chi Minh",
and shortly after late 1960, as the present trail developed,
Agence France-Presse (AFP) announced that a north-south trail had
opened, and they named the corridor La Piste de H? Chi Minh, the
'H? Chi Minh Trail'. The trail ran mostly in Laos, and was called
the Tru?ng Son Strategic Supply Route (Du?ng Tru?ng Son) by the
communists, after the Vietnamese name for the Annamite Range
mountains in central Vietnam. They further identified the trail as
either West Tru?ng Son (Laos) or East Tru?ng Son (Vietnam).
According to the U.S. National Security Agency's official history
of the war, the trail system was "one of the great
achievements of military engineering of the 20th century".
The trail was able to effectively supply troops fighting in the
south, an unparalleled military feat, given it was the site of the
single most intense air interdiction campaign in history. On Sale

contact had been lost with Venera 1 when a scheduled telemetry

data during its fly-by. Nevertheless, seven days prior to loss of
contact, Venera 1 provided the first verification that the plasma
known as solar wind, which had been discovered by the USSR's Luna
2 space probe, was uniformly present in deep space. Soviet
engineers believed that Venera 1 failed due to the overheating of
a solar-direction sensor. With the help of the British radio
telescope at Jodrell Bank, some weak signals from Venera 1 may
have been detected in June, but provided no useful data. Venera1
was launched at 00:34:36 UTC atop a Molniya 8K78 (R7) rocket from
launch site Baikonur 1/5 at Baikonur Cosmodrome spaceport in
southern Kazakhstan. Venera 1 was part of the Soviet Union's

Venus. Ten probes successfully landed on the surface of the
planet, including the two Vega program and Venera-Halley probes,
while thirteen probes successfully entered the Venusian
atmosphere. Due to the extreme surface conditions on Venus, the
probes could only survive for a short period on the surface, with

May 19, 1962: The Aftermath Of World War
II: The Cold War: The Presidency Of John F. Kennedy: Happy
Birthday, Mr. President: -- A 45th birthday salute to U.S.
President John F. Kennedy takes place at Madison Square Garden,
New York City. The highlight is Marilyn Monroe's rendition of
"Happy Birthday". Now known as "Happy Birthday, Mr.
President", the song was sung by Monroe 10 days before the
actual May 29 date of Kennedy's birthday. The event was co-hosted
by Arthur B. Krim and Anna M. Rosenberg, who sat next to the
President during the star-studded event. Monroe sang the
traditional "Happy Birthday to You" lyrics in a sultry,
intimate voice, with "Mr. President" inserted as
Kennedy's name. She continued the song with a snippet from the
classic song, "Thanks for the Memory", for which she had
written new lyrics specifically aimed at Kennedy. Monroe's
appearance cost ultimately cost Monroe her contract with 20th
Century Fox. Monroe attended the event during the production of
Something's Got to Give, an unfinished American feature film shot
in 1962, directed by George Cukor for 20th Century Fox and
starring Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin and Cyd Charisse. Because of
Monroe performance, she received a hand-delivered note stating
that she had violated her contract with 20th Century Fox, despite
the fact that she had received a round of permission from the
film's producer Henry Weinstein and by Fox executives. Two weeks
later, Monroe phoned Henry Weinstein to inform him that she would
not be on set that day once again. She had a flare-up of the
sinusitis, and her temperature had reached 100 dg F. At a studio
meeting, Cukor strongly endorsed her dismissal, and she was fired
from the project on June 8, 1962. Life featured Marilyn, wrapped
in a blue terrycloth robe, on its June 22, 1962 cover with the
headline, "The skinny dip you'll never see on the screen."

May 19, 1963: Civil Rights Movements: The
American Civil Rights Movement (1954-1968): Anti-Black Racism In
The United States: The Birmingham Campaign (The Birmingham
Movement, The Birmingham Confrontation): The Letter From
Birmingham Jail (The Letter From Birmingham City Jail, The Negro
Is Your Brother): -- The New York Post Sunday Magazine publishes
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Letter From Birmingham Jail, which
he penned while incarcerated in Birmingham, Alabama during the
Birmingham Campaign. Also known as the Letter from Birmingham City
Jail and The Negro Is Your Brother, is an open letter written to
defend the strategy of nonviolent resistance to racism. It says
that people have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws and
to take direct action rather than waiting potentially forever for
justice to come through the courts. Responding to being referred
to as an "outsider," King writes, "Injustice
anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". The letter was
widely published, and became an important text for the American
Civil Rights Movement. On May 11, 1963, The Birmingham Riot Of
1963 occured when racist bombings in Birmingham, Alabama designed
to disrupt nonviolence in the Birmingham campaign provoked riots
that precipitated a crisis involving federal troops. The bombings
targeted black leaders of the Birmingham campaign, a mass protest
for racial justice. The places bombed were the parsonage of Rev.
A. D. King, brother of Martin Luther King, Jr., and a motel owned
by A. G. Gaston, where King and others organizing the campaign had
stayed. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a leader of the Birmingham
civil rights campaign which had been conducted that spring, with
large, nonviolent demonstrations resulting in the mass arrest of
schoolchildren who were trying to take a walk to Birmingham City
Hall to talk to the mayor about segregation. Witnesses saw
Birmingham police place bombs at the parsonage, which was
partially destroyed. All the family escaped. It was believed that
the bombings were most likely planned and carried out by members
of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Since the 1950s, KKK members in
Birmingham had used bombings against civil rights leaders and
blacks who started to move into tradtionally white neighborhoods.
After the attacks, blacks in the area began to riot because of the
police involvement, and were repressed severely by the Birmingham
Police Department. The United States government intervened with
federal troops for the first time to control violence during a
civil rights related riot. It was also the first time the
government had used military troops independently of enforcing a
court injunction, an action was considered controversial by
Governor George Wallace and other Alabama whites. The bombings and
police response were a pivotal event that contributed to President
Kennedy's decision to propose civil rights legislation to achieve
relief of injustice. It was ultimately passed under President
Lyndon B. Johnson as the Civil Rights Act Of 1964. On Sale @ 15%

carried out to support the Cambodian government of Lon Nol in its
struggle against the communist Khmer Rouge. The area in which the
bombing took place was expanded to include most of the eastern
one-half of Cambodia. The bombing was extremely controversial, and

heavy launch vehicle with a Blok D upper stage. On November 27,
1971, the Mars 2 space probe orbiter released its descent module
into the the Martian atmosphere 4.5 hours before reaching the
planet Mars; it malfunctioned and crashed, but it is was the first
man-made object to reach the surface of the planet. The Mars
Program was a series of unmanned spacecraft launched by the Soviet
Union between 1960 and 1973. The spacecraft were intended to
explore Mars, and included flyby probes, landers and orbiters.
Early Mars spacecraft were small, and launched by Molniya rockets.
Starting with two failures in 1969, the heavier Proton-K rocket
was used to launch larger 5 tonne spacecraft, consisting of an
orbiter and a lander to Mars. The orbiter bus design was likely
somewhat rushed into service and immature, considering that it
performed very unreliably in the Venera variant after 1975. This
reliability problem was common to much Soviet space hardware from
the late 1960s and early 1970s and was largely corrected with a
deliberate policy, implemented in the mid-1970s, of consolidating
(or "debugging") existing designs rather than
introducing new ones. The names of the "Mars" missions
do not need to be translated, as the word "Mars" is
spelled and pronounced approximately the same way in English and
Russian. In addition to the Mars program, the Soviet Union also
sent a probe to Mars as part of the Zond program; Zond 2, however
it failed en route. Two more spacecraft were sent during the
Phobos program. In 1996, Russia launched Mars 96, its first
interplanetary mission since the Dissolution Of The Soviet Union,
however it failed to depart Earth orbit. On Sale @ 15% Off

( #JCKaelin here: Morley Safer did an
historic "60 Minutes" television report on my dear
friend and associate Iva Toguri, falsely known as "Tokyo
Rose", a falsehood which this report exposed more effectively
in the public mind than any other. Iva told me that when 60
Minutes contacted her to do this story, she agreed, but only if
Mike Wallace didn't do the report, as she thought he might be too
belligerent in his questioning, a problem Iva had had for decades
with many reporters over the decades. Froadcast journalist Bill
Kurtis, who had done his own investigative report on Iva that
resulted in his becoming Iva's life-long close friend and
confidante, helped to ensure that Safer would do the 60 Minutes
report, and as Iva understood that Safer had been a Vietnam War

and correspondent for CBS News (b. November 8, 1931) #dies at his
New York home from pneumonia, just eight days after announcing his
retirement from 60 Minutes following 46 seasons with the show.
Four days prior to his death, CBS aired a special 60 Minutes
episode covering Safer's 61-year journalism career. Safer was laid
to rest at Roselawn Avenue Cemetery in Toronto. Morley Safer was
born to an Austrian Jewish family in Toronto, Ontario. Morley
Safer was best known for his long tenure on the news magazine 60
Minutes, whose cast he joined in 1970 after its second year on
television. He was the longest-serving reporter on 60 Minutes, the

Achievement Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences, three Overseas Press Awards, three Peabody Awards, two
Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards, and the Paul White

Today, May 19, 2026May 19: Frog Jumping Jubilee Day: -- This
treasured tradition commemorates and dates back to the short story
by Mark Twain known as "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of
Calaveras County." The Calaveras County Fair is where the
Jumping Frog Jubilee happens. It's disguised as a small-town fair
but don't let looks fool you. City of Angels Camp is where the
tale of Frog Jumping Jubilee Day begins and there's so much more
to learn. In City of Angels Camp, both the locals' beloved County
Fair and International Frog Jumping Contest happen in the third
week of May where frogs are not only made to jump but to compete
with one another. There is so much more to this story than just
the holiday itself. A mix of history and fairytales come together
on Frog Jumping Jubilee Day, an annual event attended by 30,000 to
50,000 people. Frog Jumping Jubilee Day as a tradition has been
cherished since 1928, located in the beautiful rolling foothills
of California's Gold Country, City of Angels Camp. The
internationally known Calaveras County Fair is where the Jumping
Frog Jubilee happens, and can be better understood through a
little bit of literary history. This treasured tradition
commemorates and dates back to the short story by Mark Twain known
as "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." In
the 1860s, Mark Twain, who was still known as Samuel Clemens, was
trying to find a way to mine gold to be able to pay off his debt.
A local bartender in California, specifically in Angels Camp was
immersively retelling a funny and absurd story of those frog
competitions that some locals enjoy in the small town. Clemens
didn't find gold but he did find his true calling to become a
writer. "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"
was published as a book in 1867. This narrative and legend from
the Gold Rush not only shaped Twain's popularity but also made
little old Angels Camp and Calaveras Camp internationally known. A
road was fixed in Angels Camp and suddenly in the 1920s, residents
who were close to Twain were inspired to celebrate the town by
holding the first annual, international frog jumping contest in
Angels Camp itself. It was so successful that two years later,
they decided to merge the Country Fair and Frog Jump event at
their home in the Calaveras County Fairgrounds in Angels Camp,
California. Today, tens of thousands of visitors flock to attend
the four-day event.

Today, May 19, 2026May 19: World Family Doctor Day: --
Founded by the World Organization of Family Doctors (W.O.N.C.A.)
in 2010, World Family Doctor Day has now grown into a global
celebration of the importance of family doctors in health care.
Taking part in this event is a great way to show appreciation for
the important role family medicine plays in providing patients
with individualized, comprehensive, and long-term health care.
Family doctors around the world have made significant
contributions to medicine - now is the time to recognize that.
It's also a moment to recognize the advancements in family
medicine and the unique efforts of primary care teams worldwide.
It all started in 1933 in Georgia, with the establishment of the
first-ever Doctor's Day celebration. Eudora Brown Almond (wife of
Dr. Charles B. Almond, a prominent physician) was largely
responsible for the conception of this occasion. She decided to
set aside this day to recognize and honor doctors and physicians
around the world for their dedication and hard work in achieving
medical excellence. In 1934, her plan was approved by the Georgia
State Medical Alliance; it was officially implemented for the
first time on May 10, 1934. It was at this point that the
long-standing tradition of sending cards and gifts to doctors and
their families on this special day began. Even though the function
of doctors has become even more crucial in the times we live in,
it was just as important in the past as it is today. As a result,
this gesture was widely praised and appreciated. George Bush, who
was the U.S. president at that time, went on to proclaim this day
a national holiday in America. Organized yearly with a theme, this
important holiday celebrates the advancements in family medicine
and acknowledges the hard work and devotion of all family
physicians worldwide. It seeks to recognize and honor family
doctors, raise their morale, and highlight key concerns related to
their job in promoting health care for people around the world.

Today, May 19, 2026May 19: National Barber Mental Health
Awareness Day: -- It's a near certainty that when you sit down in
your barber's chair they're going to ask you how you're doing.
National Barber Mental Health Awareness Day was created to ensure
that we're remembering to return the question, to check in with
our barbers as they so often check in on us. Barbers work
intimately with multiple people every day, dealing with different
energies and personalities all the time. It's not uncommon for a
customer to unload their personal struggles onto their barber and
that can be a heavy burden to carry, especially if the barber is
having a bad day themselves. Today we all recognize that barbers
take on a lot, and to give them the opportunity to talk about
their problems, too. Recent times have seen a growing recognition
for the unique role that barbers can and do take on in helping
people with their mental health. One such example is a non-profit
venture that sees a barbershop double as a place for men of color
to talk about their problems. A similar program is forming in the
U.K. where the N.H.S., the U.K.'s public health service, launched
an initiative in 2020 to provide mental health first aid training
for barbers. Barbers have been practicing their trade for
thousands of years but it's only as the world has become
increasingly aware of mental health that barbers have been
acknowledged for often taking on the role of a therapist,
listening to their customers' problems with an empathetic ear. On
a daily basis, Booksy, which supports and directly communicates
with a community that includes thousands of barbers, sees the
important role that barbers play in their customers' lives. This
led Booksy to ask, who was there to return the favor; who was
checking in on the barbers? Barbers are often independent,
passionate entrepreneurs who work tirelessly to keep their
customers happy and their businesses growing. It's a lot to take
on, and so, Booksy created National Barber Mental Health Awareness
Day as a way of letting barbers know that it's okay to have an off
day, it's okay to take some time for themselves, and it's okay for
them to talk about their problems, too.

Today, May 19, 2026May 19, 1895: #DOTD: #RIP: Jose Marti,
Cuban nationalist, poet, philosopher, essayist, journalist,
translator, professor, and publisher, who is considered a Cuban
national hero because of his role in the liberation of his country
from Spain as well as an important figure in Latin American
literature, whose verses from the book Versos Sencillos (Simple
Verses) were adapted to the world-renowned Cuban patriotic song
"Guantanamera" (Spanish: "The Woman From
Guantanamo") made famous in the United States in October 1966
by The Sandpipers (the album reached No. 13 on the Billboard Top
LPs chart, while the title track, released as a single, reached
No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100) (b. January 28, 1853) #dies aged
42 in Dos Rios, Captaincy General Of Cuba, Spanish Empire (modern
Rio Cauto, Cuba) while fighting in The Battle Of Dos Rios, near
the confluence of the rivers Contramaestre and Cauto, during Cuban
War Of Independence. Marti's revolutionary collaborator Juan
Gualberto Gomez had recognized that the Spaniards had a strong
position between palm trees, so he ordered his men to disengage.
Marti was alone and seeing a young courier ride by said, "Joven,
_a la carga!" ('Young man, charge!') This was around midday,
and he was dressed in a black jacket while riding a white horse,
which made him an easy target for the Spanish. After Marti was
shot, the young trooper, Angel de la Guardia, lost his horse and
returned to report the loss. The Spanish took possession of the
body, buried it close by, then exhumed the body upon realization
of its identity. He was buried in Santa Ifigenia Cemetery in
Santiago de Cuba. The death of Marti was a blow to the aspirations
of the Cuban rebels, inside and outside of the island, but the
fighting continued with alternating successes and failures until
the entry of the United States into the war in 1898. Jose Marti
was born Jose Julian Marti Perez in La Habana, Captaincy General
Of Cuba, Spanish Empire (modern Havana, Cuba). He was very
politically active and is considered an important philosopher and
political theorist. Through his writings and political activity,
he became a symbol of Cuba's bid for independence from the Spanish
Empire in the 19th century, and is referred to as the "Apostle
of Cuban Independence". From adolescence on, he dedicated his
life to the promotion of liberty, political independence for Cuba,
and intellectual independence for all Spanish Americans; his death
was used as a cry for Cuban independence from Spain by both the
Cuban revolutionaries and those Cubans previously reluctant to
start a revolt. Born in Havana, Spanish Empire, Marti began his
political activism at an early age. He traveled extensively in
Spain, Latin America, and the United States, raising awareness and
support for the cause of Cuban independence. His unification of
the Cuban emigre community, particularly in Florida, was crucial
to the success of the Cuban War of Independence against Spain. He
was a key figure in the planning and execution of this war, as
well as the designer of the Cuban Revolutionary Party and its
ideology. Marti is considered one of the great turn-of-the-century
Latin American intellectuals. His written works include a series
of poems, essays, letters, lectures, a novel, and a children's
magazine. He wrote for numerous Latin American and American
newspapers; he also founded a number of newspapers. His newspaper,
Patria, was an important instrument in his campaign for Cuban
independence. The concepts of freedom, liberty, and democracy are
prominent themes in all of his works, which were influential on
the Nicaraguan poet Ruben Dario and the Chilean poet Gabriela
Mistral. Following the 1959 Cuban Revolution, Marti's ideology
became a major driving force in Cuban politics. He is also
regarded as Cuba's "martyr". He is the namesake of Radio
Y Television Marti, an American state-run radio and television
international broadcaster based in Miami, Florida, financed by the
federal government of the United States through the U.S. Agency
for Global Media (formerly Broadcasting Board of Governors, BBG).
It transmits propaganda in Spanish to Cuba and its broadcasts can
also be heard and viewed worldwide through their website and on
shortwave radio frequencies. Radio Television Marti was
established in 1983 and TV Marti was added in 1990. The 2014
budget for the Cuba broadcasting program was approximately 27M
USD.

Today, May 19, 2026May 19, 1935: #DOTD: #RIP: T. E.
Lawrence, famous as Lawrence of Arabia, British archaeologist,
military officer, diplomat, and writer (b. August 16, 1888) #dies
in a motorcycle accident in Bovington Camp, Dorset, South West
England, aged 46. On May 13 1935, was riding his Brough Superior
SS100 motorcycle in Dorset close to his cottage Clouds Hill, near
Wareham, just two months after leaving military service.A dip in
the road obstructed his view of two boys on their bicycles; he
swerved to avoid them, lost control, and was thrown over the
handlebars. He died six days later; the location of the crash is
marked by a small memorial at the roadside. One of the doctors
attending him was neurosurgeon Hugh Cairns, who consequently began
a long study of the loss of life by motorcycle dispatch riders
through head injuries. His research led to the use of crash
helmets by both military and civilian motorcyclists to this day.
The Moreton estate borders Bovington Camp where the accident
occured, and Lawrence bought his nearby Clouds Hill home from his
cousins, the Frampton family. He had been a frequent visitor to
their home, Okers Wood House, and had corresponded with Louisa
Frampton for years. Lawrence's mother arranged with the Framptons
to have his body buried in their family plot in the separate
burial ground of St Nicholas' Church, Moreton. The coffin was
transported on the Frampton estate's bier. Mourners included
Winston Churchill, E. M. Forster, Lady Astor, and Lawrence's
youngest brother Arnold. Churchill described him like this:
"Lawrence was one of those beings whose pace of life was
faster and more intense than what is normal." Colonel Thomas
Edward Lawrence CB DSO was born Thomas Edward Lawrence in
Tremadoc, Carnarvonshire, North Wales, in a house named
Gorphwysfa, now known as Snowdon Lodge. He was renowned for his
liaison role during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign and the Arab
Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. In
1918, he cooperated with war correspondent Lowell Thomas and his
cameraman Harry Chase and had shot a great deal of film and many
photographs, which Thomas used in a highly lucrative film that
promoted the legend of Lawrence of Arabia and toured the world
after the war. The breadth and variety of his activities and
associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing,
earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia-a title used
for the 1962 film based on his wartime activities. He was born out
of wedlock in Tremadog, Wales, in August 1888 to Thomas Chapman
(who became, in 1914, Sir Thomas Chapman, 7th Baronet), an
Anglo-Irish nobleman from County Westmeath, and Sarah Junner, a
Scottish governess (whom Chapman had left his wife and first
family in Ireland to cohabit with; they called themselves Mr and
Mrs Lawrence). In 1896, the Lawrences moved to Oxford, where their
son attended the High School and then from 1907 to 1910 studied
History at Jesus College. Between 1910 and 1914 he worked as an
archaeologist for the British Museum, chiefly at Carchemish, in
Ottoman Syria. Soon after the outbreak of war he volunteered for
the British Army and was stationed in Egypt. In 1916, he was sent
to Arabia on an intelligence mission and quickly became involved
with the Arab Revolt, providing, along with other British
officers, liaison to the Arab forces. Working closely with Emir
Faisal, a leader of the revolt, he participated in and sometimes
led military activities against the Ottoman armed forces,
culminating in the capture of Damascus in October 1918. After the
war, Lawrence joined the Foreign Office, working with both the
British government and with Faisal. In 1922, he retreated from
public life and spent the years until 1935 serving as an enlisted
man, mostly in the Royal Air Force, with a brief stint in the
Army. During this time, he wrote and published his best-known
work, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, an autobiographical account of his
participation in the Arab Revolt. He also translated books into
English and wrote The Mint, which was published posthumously and
detailed his time in the Royal Air Force working as an ordinary
aircraftman. He corresponded extensively and was friendly with
well-known artists, writers, and politicians. For the Royal Air
Force, he participated in the development of rescue motorboats.
Lawrence's public image resulted in part from the sensationalised
reporting of the Arab revolt by American journalist Lowell Thomas,
as well as from Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

with her at Mangatera Cemetery in Dannevirke, Manawatu-Whanganui,
New Zealand. Squadron Leader Phillip John Lamason DFC & Bar
was born. nicknamed Phil, was a pilot in the Royal New Zealand Air
Force (RNZAF) during the Second World War, who rose to prominence
as the senior officer in charge of 168 Allied airmen taken to
Buchenwald concentration camp, Germany, in August 1944. Raised in
Napier, he joined the RNZAF in September 1940, and by April 1942
was a pilot officer serving with the Royal Air Force in Europe. On
8 June 1944, Lamason was in command of a Lancaster heavy bomber
that was shot down during a raid on railway marshalling yards near
Paris. Bailing out, he was picked up by members of the French
Resistance and hidden at various locations for seven weeks. While
attempting to reach Spain along the Comet line, Lamason was
double-crossed by a traitor within the Resistance and handed over
to the Gestapo. After interrogation, he was taken to Fresnes
prison. Classified as a "Terrorflieger" (terror flier),
he was not accorded prisoner-of-war (POW) status, but instead
treated as a criminal and spy. By 15 August 1944, Lamason was
senior officer of a group of 168 captured Allied airmen who were
taken by train to Buchenwald concentration camp, arriving there
five days later. At Buchenwald, the airmen were fully shaved,
starved, denied shoes, and for three weeks forced to sleep outside
without shelter in one of the sub-camps known as "Little
Camp". As senior officer, Lamason took control and instilled
a level of military discipline and bearing. For several weeks
Lamason negotiated with the camp authorities to have the airmen
transferred to a POW camp, but his requests were denied. At great
risk, Lamason secretly got word to the Luftwaffe of the Allied
airmen's captivity and, seven days before their scheduled
execution, 156 of the 168 prisoners were transferred to Stalag
Luft III. Most of the airmen credit their survival at Buchenwald
to the leadership and determination of Lamason. After the war, he
moved to Dannevirke and became a farmer until his retirement.
During the 1980s and 1990s, he was a regular speaker at KLB Club
and POW reunions.

Today, May 19, 2026May 19, 1864: #DOTD: #RIP: Nathaniel
Hawthorne, American novelist, dark romantic, and short story
writer whose works often focus on history, morality, and religion
(b. July 4, 1804) #dies in his sleep in Plymouth, New Hampshire
aged 59. Former American President Franklin Pierce sent a telegram
to Elizabeth Peabody asking her to inform her sister, Mrs. Sophia
Hawthorne in person. Mrs. Hawthorne was too saddened by the news
to handle the funeral arrangements herself. Hawthorne's son
Julian, a freshman at Harvard College, learned of his father's
death the next day; coincidentally, he was initiated into the
Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity on the same day by being
blindfolded and placed in a coffin. Longfellow wrote a tribute
poem to Hawthorne published in 1866 called "The Bells of
Lynn". Hawthorne was buried on what is now known as "Authors'
Ridge" in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord, Massachusetts.
Pallbearers included Longfellow, Emerson, Alcott, Oliver Wendell
Holmes Sr., James T. Fields, and Edwin Percy Whipple. Emerson
wrote of the funeral: "I thought there was a tragic element
in the event, that might be more fully rendered -- in the painful
solitude of the man, which, I suppose, could no longer be endured,
& he died of it." His wife Sophia and daughter Una were
originally buried in England. However, in June 2006, they were
reinterred in plots adjacent to Hawthorne. Nathaniel Hawthorne was
born Nathaniel Hathorne in Salem, Massachusetts, to Nathaniel
Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors
include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch
trials who never repented of his actions. He entered Bowdoin
College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824, and
graduated in 1825. He published his first work in 1828, the novel
Fanshawe; he later tried to suppress it, feeling that it was not
equal to the standard of his later work. He published several
short stories in periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as
Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia
Peabody. He worked at the Boston Custom House and joined Brook
Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in
1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts,
later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in
Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a
succession of other novels. A political appointment as consul took
Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to Concord in
1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife
and their three children. Much of Hawthorne's writing centers on
New England, many works featuring moral metaphors with an
anti-Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of
the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism.
His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity,
and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological
complexity. His published works include novels, short stories, and
a biography of his college friend Franklin Pierce, the 14th
President of the United States.

Hawkins, nicknamed "Hawk" and "Bean", pioneer
African American saxophonist and clarinet player, one of the first
prominent jazz musicians on the jazz tenor saxophone (b. November
21, 1904) #dies 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. Coleman Hawkins was 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.".

Today, May 19, 2026May 19, 2016: #DOTD: #RIP: Irving Benson,
American actor and comedian, one of the last survivors of the
vaudeville era (b. January 31, 1914) #dies at the age of 102 in
Port Jefferson, New York. His remains were cremated, and the ashes
were given to his children. Irving Benson was born in Brooklyn,
New York. Having enjoyed a long and successful run on the east
coast American Burlesque circuit, Benson travelled west to play
Las Vegas for the first time in 1957, with the Minsky Follies
show. Benson gained national exposure during the 1960s, when
fellow vaudevillian Milton Berle hired him to play a faux heckler
named Sidney Spritzer. The character would turn up in the balcony
overlooking the stage of Berle's variety show (where the studio
audience could see him) and banter with Berle about the host's
alleged lack of talent and originality. The character was likely
the inspiration for The Muppets' Statler and Waldorf. Benson
became Johnny Carson's favorite comic and appeared frequently on
the Carson-hosted Tonight Show. His film and television
appearances include playing a Gambler in Scanty Panties (1961), as
the character Sidney Sphritzer onn The Milton Berle Show (1966)
and on Berle's guest star hosting of The Hollywood Palace (1968),
as a German officer (uncredited) in Which Way to the Front? (1970)
and as Irv Hanson in Happy Days (1979). He was honored for Best
Documentary at the 2011 Backlot Film Festival for "The Last
First Comic" uncovering the roots of American comedy also
going inside the colorful world of the Burlesque show. Benson
married his wife Lillian in November 1936; the 79-year marriage,
which lasted until her death in March 2016, remains the longest
entertainment industry marriage on record, surpassing Dolores and
Bob Hope's 69-year marriage in 2006. Irving and Lillian had two
children, and at the time of their death, they were survived by
them, five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Monarchy Of The Kingdom Of Scotland): Mary, Queen Of Scots: Mary,
Queen Of Scots' Imprisonment In Scotland: Mary, Queen Of Scots'
Escape From Loch Leven Castle: -- Upon learning that Mary, Queen
Of Scots, had fled to England on May 16, 1568, having escaped from
her imprisonment in Loch Leven Castle on an island in Loch Leven
in the Perth and Kinross local authority area of Scotland on May
2, Queen Elizabeth I Of England orders the arrest of Mary, Queen
Of Scots. Mary had escaped from Loch Leven Castle with the aid of
George Douglas, brother of Sir William Douglas, the castle's
owner. Mary apparently expected Elizabeth to help her regain her
throne. Elizabeth was cautious, ordering an inquiry into the
conduct of the confederate lords and the question of whether Mary
was guilty of Darnley's murder. In mid-July 1568, English
authorities moved Mary to Bolton Castle, because it was farther
from the Scottish border but not too close to London. Mary's
clothes, sent from Loch Leven Castle, arrived on July 20. A
commission of inquiry, or conference, as it was known, was held in
York and later Westminster between October 1568 and January 1569.
In Scotland, her supporters fought a civil war against Regent
Moray and his successors.

Today, May 19, 2026May 19, 1994: #DOTD: #RIP: Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis, American journalist, 37th First Lady of the
United States, beauty, fashion icon and cultural icon (b. January
20, 1929) #dies at 10:15 p.m. in her sleep in her Manhattan
apartment at age 64, with her children by her side. In the
morning, her son John F. Kennedy, Jr. announced his mother's death
to the press, stating that she had been "surrounded by her
friends and her family and her books, and the people and the
things that she loved". He added that "She did it in her
very own way, and on her own terms, and we all feel lucky for
that." On May 23, 1994, her funeral Mass was held a few
blocks away from her apartment at the Church of St. Ignatius
Loyola, the Catholic parish where she was baptized in 1929 and
confirmed as a teenager and asked for no cameras to film the event
for privacy. She is interred at Arlington National Cemetery in
Arlington, Virginia, alongside President Kennedy, their son
Patrick, and their stillborn daughter Arabella. President Bill
Clinton delivered a eulogy at her graveside service. Jacqueline
Lee Kennedy Onassis (Maiden name: Bouvier) was First Lady of the
United States during the presidency of John F. Kennedy and was
regarded as an international icon of style and culture. Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis was born Jacqueline Bouvier in 1929 in
Southampton, New York, to Wall Street stockbroker John Vernou
Bouvier III and his wife, Janet Lee Bouvier. In 1951, she
graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in French literature from George
Washington University and worked for the Washington Times-Herald
as an inquiring photographer. In 1952, Bouvier met
then-Congressman John Kennedy at a dinner party in Washington.
Kennedy was elected to the Senate that same year, and the couple
married on September 12, 1953, in Newport, Rhode Island. They had
four children, two of whom died in infancy. Following her
husband's election to the presidency in 1960, Jacqueline was known
for her highly publicized restoration of the White House and
emphasis on arts and culture, as well as for her style, elegance,
and grace. At age 31, she was the third-youngest First Lady when
her husband was inaugurated President. On November 22, 1963,
Jacqueline was riding with her husband in a presidential motorcade
in Dallas, Texas, when he was assassinated. Following his funeral,
she and her children largely withdrew from public view. In 1968,
she married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. Following
Onassis's death in 1975, she had a career as a book editor in New
York City. She died on May 19, 1994, of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, aged
64. During her lifetime, Jacqueline Kennedy was regarded as an
international fashion icon. Her ensemble of a pink Chanel suit and
matching pillbox hat that she wore in Dallas has become a symbol
of her husband's assassination. Even after her death, she ranks as
one of the most popular and recognizable First Ladies, and in 1999
she was listed as one of Gallup's Most-Admired Men and Women of
the 20th century.
