🕰️🌞 What happened today? 🤷‍♀️🤓 Anything and everything

5️⃣ Eleanor Roosevelt - who was first lady of the United States and one of the world's most widely admired and powerful women, known as a diplomat and a humanitarian - died in New York City on 7 November 1962 at age 78. 🌼🌼⭐🙏

[...]

8️⃣ These people were born on 7 November: French physicist Marie Curie (1967),

I think that, talking about widely admired women and source of inspiration, Marie Curie should be one of the very first. What she accomplished with her husband, not as a woman, but as a human being, is exceptional and put her among the major contributors of human history.

Thank you very much @Lianshen! I copied that from Eleanor Roosevelt from the website with the news from the past! 😛 But I agree about Marie Curie but i dont know a lot about her. I got a book some time ago about 20 women who changed the world and you can read nice things about them and Marie Curie was also in that book!!!! 😃 📖 📖 If you want i can look in the book who else was mentioned because I can only remember now some immediately. 🙂

Today is 9 November and this happened today in the past:

1️⃣ Long a symbol of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall, erected in 1961 and eventually extending 28 miles (45 km) to divide the western and eastern sectors of Berlin, was opened by the East German government on this day in 1989. 🚧🚧🚧🛂🛂🚧🚧🚧

2️⃣ Cambodia became independent from France on 9 November 1953. Maybe you already knew that @Sabri_KC because you are the country expert of PPG! 😛

3️⃣ Wes Craven's movie A Nightmare on Elm Street was released in American theatres on 9 November 1984, introducing moviegoers to the villain Freddy Krueger; considered a horror classic, it spun off a number of sequels. Who likes horror movies? I know that @Simone724 likes them! 😛 Do you like this movie Simone or not? 🙂

4️⃣ On 9 November 1985, Garry Kasparov, who was 22 years old, defeated Anatoly Karpov to become the youngest male world chess champion. 🏆🥇♟️ Who of the readers in this forum likes to play chess? 😇😇

5️⃣ On this day in 2004, Swedish writer and activist Stieg Larsson died from a heart attack in Stockholm, a year before The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the first installment in his internationally acclaimed Millennium series, was published. Did anybody read this book? 🙄📙🐉

6️⃣ Beginning on this night in 1938, called Kristallnacht (“Crystal Night” or “Night of Broken Glass”), some 48 hours of Nazi-orchestrated anti-Jewish violence erupted throughout Germany and Austria, resulting in the destruction and vandalizing of synagogues and Jewish businesses and the deaths of at least 91 Jews. 😢😢🥀✨ This week there was also violence in Amsterdam in the Netherlands because there were Jewish football supporters and Dutch people who were not football fans attacked them because of the conflict now in the Middle East. And almost everybody else in the Netherlands thinks it is STUPID and DUMB to just attack football fans because they are Jewish. 😞😞😞

7️⃣ On this day Albert Einstein was named the winner of the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect; the Nobel committee had delayed awarding the 1921 physics prize until 1922. 🏆🥇👨‍🔬🎓

8️⃣ The Coup of 18–19 Brumaire began in Paris on 9 November 1799, marking Napoleon's rise to power and the end of the French Revolution. @Etienne, @Lianshen and @Sabri_KC maybe you like this news about France because it happened today in the past. 🙂 I looked up on google for a website if you want to read more about the Coup and you can read here if you like it: https://www.napoleon.org/en/history-of-the-two-empires/articles/18-brumaire-the-context-and-course-of-a-coup-detat/

9️⃣ These people were born on this day: Pakistan poet and philosopher Muhammad Iqbal (1877), Austrian-born American actress Hedy Lamarr (1913), American singer and actress Dorothy Dandridge (1922), American astronomer Carl Sagan (1934), actor Eric Dane (1972), Italian football player Alessandro Del Piero (1974), actress and producer Alex Owens-Sarno (1988). 🎊🎉🎁🎈🍰🎂🥳🥳 Who do you know of these persons? 😃

Did you like watching it Christine? 🙂 I also watch series with my mom but the most are Korean dramas on Netflix and we both like it a lot!! 😛 😛

I liked it a lot to be with my daughter.
Actually Greys Anatomy was quite interesting because of the medical topics.
But almost every series becomes addictive even when you can`t stand it in the beginning.
Well, it might be due to my addictive personality. 🙂

It is nice she watches also with her dad series!! My dad likes other things more like car racing but i think that is a bit boring and i dont want to get deaf from the tv and him because he is SUPER loud. But he does not like Korean dramas or other series on Netflix or Viki! 😛

Tomorrow i will write a new update for the day from what happened in the past. But now i have to sleep first! Goodnight Christine and everybody!!! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Today is 10 November and this happened today in the past:

1️⃣ On 10 November 1918, Józef Piłsudski, Polish revolutionary and first chief of state of the newly reconstituted Poland, arrived in Warsaw to declare Poland an independent state.

2️⃣ Turkish reformer Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first president (1923–38) of the Republic of Turkey, died in Istanbul on 10 November 1938.

3️⃣ On this day in 1958, the Hope diamond, one of the largest blue diamonds known, was donated to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., becoming one of its most-popular attractions.

4️⃣ The American children's TV series Sesame Street - which featured a cast of puppet characters that included Elmo, Big Bird, and the Cookie Monster - debuted on the National Educational Television network (later PBS) on 10 November 1969. Also on this day but in 1990, the American comedy film Home Alone, written by John Hughes and starring Macaulay Culkin, had its world premiere; a huge hit, it spawned a number of sequels and became a TV staple during the Christmas holidays.

5️⃣ After 15 years of negotiations, China's membership in the World Trade Organization was approved on 10 November 2001, and the following day Taiwan's membership was approved.

6️⃣ On this day in 1871, according to his journal, explorer Henry Stanley greeted David Livingstone, the fellow explorer in search of the source of the Nile River, with the famous words “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?”

7️⃣ These people were born on this day: king of Great Britain George II (1683), German writer Friedrich Schiller (1759), Irish poet and statesman Patrick Pearse (1879), Welsh actor Richard Burton (1925) and British writer Neil Gaiman (1960).

Funnily, the Hope diamond comes from a bigger diamond stolen from the French royalty during the Revolution; the Bleu de France. It has been reworked later to become the Hope diamond.

Woww i did not know that at all @Lianshen!! You know a LOTTTT of things and it is always nice to read things that you know more about!! 🏅🏅🙏🙏
