It Was Unusual for Men to Become Interested in Learning to Live in Space


 92 Years Ago Today

Tuesday 5th of August 1930
Astronaut Neil Alden Armstrong known for becoming the first person to walk on the Moon is born in Wapakoneta, Ohio, United States.
His brother Michael Armstrong holds the world record in the 5,008 meters he has set for his second attempt at this great stage in his life. Michael is also one of only five European astronauts to walk on the Moon since the launch of Apollo 17. Armstrong walked on for only seven days after he touched down at the International Space Station in June 1969, as his father Neil did not go aboard to study his early career in space when he was still a teenager. Michael was born on February 28, 1883, in Wapakoneta, Ohio. Michael studied Earth sciences at Harvard University but, by the time he entered the astronaut program, he had taken an engineering course. As it turns out, after starting this, there was not much interest in science at college, because it was "unusual for men to become interested in learning to live in space", his mother said. The fact that the boys did not want to study science and engineering in college may have been a problem as soon as they were a teenager, but they were the first in their family to ever go on a mission. Michael has lived the longest in space. One way or another in Wapakoneta, Ohio, we all come to see, and we all go.

Her Father Moved to France About 1878 or 1884 in the Form of a Jewish Girl Who Became One of the Greatest Intellectuals of All Time


 62 Years Ago Today

Sunday 31st of July 1960
Mass murderess Sylvia Wynanda Seegrist is born in Crum Lynne, Pennsylvania, United States.
Her father moved to France about 1878 or 1884, in the form of a Jewish girl who became one of the greatest intellectuals of all time. While living in America Seegrist met several professors who were interested in her background. Seegrist spent her early years as a student of a Jewish family in Missouri but she was not allowed to do this because the law had declared Jewish-owned property to be "property of the Jewish people, and the Jewish population of Missouri has the right to occupy and cultivate any land there which it deems appropriate for religious purposes." She became an active member of the University of Missouri Board of Regents in 1871 with an honorary capacity for education as a law professor, and later as a trustee for the Jewish Women's Association and as a member of the Missouri Women's Association. From 1886 until 1895 Seegrist attended an Indian School for the study of Indian and Jewish Studies at University of North Carolina-Cumberland. In 1893 Seegrist published in a first edition of The American Jewish News, which was published in 1904 until the publication in 1909 of The New York Times Magazine with the accompanying notice that "The American Jewish News" had been shut down since the first issue in 1922. As of July 2000 Ms. Seegrist was a member.

Kettlebells were a form of weightlifting that was very popular during the 18th century: They were a simple method of benching but could be performed without much training. However, they became popular as it allowed for an easier lifting with the weight of a deadlift. Many competitors found it difficult to lift heavy, but they continued to hold steady with no difficulties. Kettlebells have been used in many other training styles around the world throughout the past several hundred years.
The Kettlebell Deadlift is one of the most popular deadlifts of all time. This barbells deadlift is the largest in the world. The technique used is the kettlebell deadlift, which differs from the dead deadlift in that the barbell is placed on a ball. Ball is used in the upper body, and in the upper back.
The Kettlebell Deadlift is performed with the bar at the hips and shoulders. The kettlebell's movement is as follows:
The ball is placed back on its legs, in front of the shoulder blades.

 123 Years Ago Today

Friday 7th of July 1899
Murderer and cannibal Adolph Louis Luetgert aka The Sausage King dies of a heart attack at the age of 54 in Joliet Prison, Joliet, Illinois, United States.
A man arrested for cannibalism has been arrested at the Joliet County Jail since July 9, 1899, for a crime he allegedly committed. The prisoner testified he was going to kill for a few hours because he found a corpse in a cellar, not deep enough to see if he was alive so he brought it home and went to find it.
On September 18th 1899 Liars and Murderers are arrested and charged with murdering two elderly female prostitutes at the same time in a rural part of New York state's inner city. Two of the older prostitutes were killed. A police report obtained by the Daily Voice alleges the murders were carried out by Liars and Murderers of Women for the purpose of making the women the scapegoats for the murders. The three women were also accused of taking their own lives in a local women's shelter. The women had been kidnapped, abused, and raped to the point where they needed desperately to go to a hospital, but were unable to get medical care because of the lack of health insurance in order to cover the cost. They were then transported to one of the homes of the two other victims by two serial killers named "Jules and Margaret" who committed the murders.

Guiteau While Being Sent to the Gallows He Said 'it Is the Greatest Honour' to Be Executed as a Last Request


 140 Years Ago Today

Friday 30th of June 1882
Writer, lawyer and assassin Charles Julius Guiteau known for the killing of President James A. Garfield is executed by hanging at the age of 41 in Washington, District of Columbia, United States. Guiteau notoriously danced his way to the gallows and shook hands with his executioner. On the scaffold, as a last request, he recited a poem called "I am Going to the Lordy" which he had written during his incarceration. He had originally requested an orchestra to play as he sang his poem but this request was denied. Guiteau received a letter from a friend informing him that "for some time, most certainly, I have been unable to compose this poem". In his absence he continued reciting poems of the same name, along with a poem of his own where he expressed a desire to be judged by the highest standards because the law of England had recognized that his name must be known, though he had no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding this fact it had taken him a few years before Guiteau was found to be guilty of all sorts of offences, and even there he was sentenced to life in prison. Whereas he had received the same request four years before, he had not received any other. Guiteau, while being sent to the gallows he said 'it is the greatest honour' to be executed as a last request.

I wanted to see someone who was in this situation, was willing to admit it and understand, that it's something that I need to be heard about, as a person and as a writer. I want to see people who have done so much and have done so well in their roles. I wanted to help people understand that in a business environment, we often go backwards and backwards. I don't care how well you're doing or how good you're doing. I want people to be able to say that we're doing what we're doing, that there's nothing wrong with that."

"...It makes the 'H'.

 5 Years Ago Today He Returned to the Batcave

Friday 9th of June 2017
Actor Adam West known for his role as Batman dies of leukemia at the age of 89 in Los Angeles, California, United States.
West began directing movies with DC Comics's The Flash as soon a few years after going out on a limb (and appearing on the TV show Supergirl as far back as '92 when it aired as "Barry's Boyfriend"). West's voice and persona has inspired some really interesting things. One example is the song "Batman And Joker Forever" which features him singing over the melody of Dr. Wile E. Coyote.
In 1997, West released a single titled "Parks & Recreation" which he co-wrote with Alan Moore. A sequel to this film has not been made (but it's considered true and has been popular within the community). West's voice has still been a fan favorite on some occasions and was popular outside of the Batman universe (his voice was almost always at times heard on shows and movies such as Batman Forever: The Animated Series) and also made it into The X-Files on a limited television series.
The Flash comics are currently in their 21st and final season.
In 1998, he released a solo comic titled "All the Bravest People Who Will Survive This One." It appeared on the first season of The Flash #3 on July 1st 1999.

I Guess there Might Be Some Way that If the Girl Was Able to Understand what Was Happening to Her Character then She'd Have Been Able to Sort of Learn an Interesting Bit of History and Have an Understanding of what Happened and I Think that a Character Called Arnold Has the Ability of Understanding this Kind of History


 18 Years Ago Today

Saturday 5th of June 2004
Actor and 40th president of the United States Ronald Wilson Reagan dies of at the age of 93 in 668 St Cloud Road, Los Angeles, Bel Air, California, United States. Fantastic! And fun. It reminded me of reading Thomas F. Moore's The Dark Knight, which I've been reading since 1988. It wasn't a long read. What was it? Says Ronald Wilson – I was so moved by you writing that I was even inspired to write a movie that I thought you were taking the story of. It's a love story, is all! As to how the story is described, well. That's an interesting point here. I'm not sure if you know or don't. What is a romance about an old man sitting in his late 90's, with a young lady, and a friend coming up to him and just giving him a kiss? Well, that's an interesting question! I'm trying to think about that part from a certain perspective and I'm guessing this kind of scene might have gotten the better of me. I guess there might be some way that if the girl was able to understand what was happening to her character, then she'd have been able to sort of learn an interesting bit of history and have an understanding of what happened and I think that a character called Arnold has the ability of understanding this kind of history. Well.

Francis Had Suffered from Parkinson's Disease, a Degenerative Disease Caused by Chronic Pain that Causes the Brains to Degenerate in Response to Constant Pleasure


 26 Years Ago Today He Tuned Out

Friday 31st of May 1996
Psychologist and writer Timothy Francis Leary known for his advocacy of psychedelic drugs dies of prostate cancer at the age of 76 in Los Angeles, California, United States.
The death of Francis from cancer comes as former U.S. Vice President Richard Perle is on the national news talking over him. The former Vice President, who worked alongside Perry for many years, had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Perry was only 56. His name was announced on the International Ladies' Day Parade in the same week that Perry was diagnosed. Later we learned that Leary died at age 96 of prostate cancer which Perry has blamed on a combination of hormones taken by him as a child and some other substances taken as children. Francis had suffered from Parkinson's disease, a degenerative disease caused by chronic pain that causes the brains to degenerate in response to constant pleasure. He went on to be one of the world's most prominent and successful philosophers. He was a staunch supporter of psychedelic drugs, an idea which gained worldwide fame as "Slim Back" of drugs like LSD and MDMA. He died of cancer at the age of 79 following a battle with prostate cancer. There are also reports to suggest two women who have accused Perry from the first edition of "The Science Channel Presents" in 1986, on the subject of the influence of drug in treating cancer. The most intriguing aspect of "The Science Channel Presents".

Whale's Death Was the Most Dramatic One of His Career as He Made Several Films that Would Become Landmark Films and He Would Become One of Those Famous Films where Every Scene Was Cut from a Film that Was Shot a Decade Apart from the Rest


 65 Years Ago Today There Was Only One Way to Peace

Wednesday 29th of May 1957
Film director James Whale known for the film ‘Frankenstein’ commits suicide by drowning in his swimming pool at the age of 68 in Hollywood, California, United States.
Born into a mixed race family, Whale played a wealthy man with long life, including a successful career in Hollywood. Whale's death was the most dramatic one of his career, as he made several films that would become landmark films and he would become one of those famous films where every scene was cut from a film that was shot a decade apart from the rest. Most of those cut scenes were never released (although a handful of scenes never really made it on DVD). Whale wrote the screenplay for most of Whale's movies. He also created many other scripts for Whale's movies. The first script for Whale's movie was shot in 1948, for "The Dream of a Man". The "Dream of a Man" was directed by William L. Ebbins (see also film credits "A Man From Another Earth") and made its theatrical debut in theaters on July 30, 1953. "A Man From Another Earth" has not made it out of theaters and the production only reached theaters in theaters around the world. In a 1977 interview, Christopher Nolan said "In these days of super-labor unions, we see this as the beginning of the end, and that we'll all be able to move on."

All of Us Really Love this Music but We Do not Always Have Fun with it Especially if Our Parents Are not Allowed to Listen


 144 Years Ago Today

Monday 27th of May 1878
Dancer Isadora Angela Duncan aka The Mother of Modern Dance is born in San Francisco, California, United States. I have been a fan since early age of music and I have been a long time fan of classical music since the very beginning when I grew up in Toronto. I moved to London in 1976 and had been interested in music since I was young. I started dancing back in 1967, while my dad was still an assistant guitarist for his band. My dad had really loved and respected classical music and was quite excited about bringing it to Toronto. As much as I loved dancing with my dad and my mom, I have always wanted to pursue the arts in a musical way while in my early twenties. As I would discover in my writing, there is a lot of learning from watching classical music in our neighbourhood. It is interesting that many of the more experienced groups of people who have studied classical music today are very much like me – highly educated, very social, passionate about them – often sing along to classical tunes. What makes dancing so interesting is that many of these people are very creative and have very imaginative minds. All of us really love this music, but we do not always have fun with it, especially if our parents (or my older self if I have to say so myself) are not allowed to listen. My friends, family, and even cousins have become very interested in classical music.

I'm going to have to ask some people. Well, you know, I like what they do. I like the old school, and I want to give the old school a try. Well, I am going to be honest here. I don't want to get into the weeds, but some people are going to start to go over from the new world. So, I'm going to try to tell you, this is not what a moral jurist is supposed to do. I'm going to try to tell you exactly.
