On Will Rogers birthday.
- From Wikipedia (Will Rogers):
'William Penn Adair "Will" Rogers (November 4, 1879 – August 15,
1935) was a stage and motion picture actor, vaudeville performer, American
cowboy, humorist, newspaper columnist, and social commentator.
Known as "Oklahoma's Favorite Son", Rogers was born to a prominent
Cherokee Nation family in Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma). He
traveled around the world three times, made 71 movies (50 silent films and
21 "talkies"), and wrote more than 4,000 nationally syndicated
newspaper columns. By the mid-1930s, the American people adored Rogers. He
was the leading political wit of his time, and was the highest paid
Hollywood movie star. Rogers died in 1935 with aviator Wiley Post, when
their small airplane crashed in northern Alaska.
After Rogers gained recognition as a humorist-philosopher in vaudeville, he
gained a national audience in acting and literary careers from 1915 to
1935. In these years, Rogers increasingly expressed the views of the
"common man" in America. He downplayed academic credentials,
noting, "Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects."
Americans of all walks admired his individualism, his appreciation for
democratic ideas, and his liberal philosophies on most issues. Moreover,
Rogers extolled hard work and long hours of toil in order to succeed, and
such expressions upheld theories of many Americans on how best to realize
their own dreams of success. He symbolized the self-made man, the common
man, who believed in America, in progress, in the American Dream of upward
mobility. His humor never offended even those who were the targets of it'.
[The Hankster says] Common sense is the most uncommon and most non-sense concept I know. It seems that there are as many versions as there are people.

* 'In 1847, Sir James Young Simpson, a British physician, discovers the
anesthetic properties of chloroform. .
- From Wikipedia: 'Sir James Young Simpson, 1st Baronet (7 June 1811 – 6
May 1870) was a Scottish obstetrician and a significant figure in the
history of medicine. Simpson was first to demonstrate the anesthetic
properties of chloroform on humans and helped to popularize the drug for
use in medicine.
Sir Humphry Davy used the first anaesthetic in 1799, nitrous oxide
(laughing gas). William T. G. Morton's ether was initially dismissed as an
anaesthetic because it irritated the lungs of the patients. Chloroform had
been invented in 1831 but its uses had not been greatly investigated. Dr
Robert Mortimer Glover had first described the anaesthetic properties of
chloroform upon animals in 1842 in a thesis which won the Harveian
Society's Gold Medal that year, but had not thought to use it on humans
(fearing its safety).
In 1847, Simpson first demonstrated the properties of chloroform upon
humans, during an experiment with friends in which he learnt that it could
be used to put one to sleep. Dr Simpson and two of his friends, Drs Keith
and Duncan used to sit every evening in Dr Simpson's dining room to try new
chemicals to see if they had any anaesthetic effect. On 4 November 1847
they decided to try a ponderous material named chloroform that they had
previously ignored. On inhaling the chemical they found that a general mood
of cheer and humour had set in. But suddenly all of them collapsed only to
regain consciousness the next morning. Simpson knew, as soon as he woke up,
that he had found something that could be used as an anaesthetic. They soon
had Miss Petrie, Simpson's niece, try it. She fell asleep soon after
inhaling it while singing the words, I am an angel! There is a prevalent
myth that the mother of the first child delivered under chloroform
christened her child Anaesthesia the story is retailed in Simpson's
biography as written by his daughter Eve. However, the son of the first
baby delivered by chloroform explained that Simpson's parturient had been
one Jane Carstairs, and her child was baptised Wilhelmina. Anaesthesia was
a nickname Simpson had given the baby.
It was very much by chance that Simpson survived the chloroform dosage he
administered to himself. If he had inhaled too much and died, chloroform
would have been seen as a dangerous substance, which in fact it is.
Conversely, if Simpson had inhaled slightly less it would not have put him
to sleep. It was his willingness to explore the possibilities of the
substance that set him on the road to a career as a pioneer in the field of
medicine.
An account of some of Simpson's early uses of ether in childbirth are
related by Manchester-based doctor Edmund Lund who visited him in 1847 and
can be found in a manuscript held by special collections at the University
of Manchester with the reference MMM/12/2'.
* 'In 1879, James Ritty patents first cash register, to combat stealing by
bartenders in his Dayton, Ohio saloon. .
- From Wikipedia: 'A cash register, also referred to as a Till in the
United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries, is a mechanical or
electronic device for registering and calculating transactions at a point
of sale. It is usually attached to a drawer for storing cash and other
valuables. The cash register is also usually attached to a printer, that
can print out receipts for record keeping purposes.
An early mechanical cash register was invented by James Ritty and John
Birch following the American Civil War. James was the owner of a saloon in
Dayton, Ohio, USA, and wanted to stop employees from pilfering his profits.
The Ritty Model I was invented in 1879 after seeing a tool that counted the
revolutions of the propeller on a steamship. With the help of James'
brother John Ritty, they patented it in 1883. It was called Ritty's
Incorruptible Cashier and it was invented for the purpose to stop cashiers
of pilfering and eliminating employee theft or embezzlement.
Early mechanical registers were entirely mechanical, without receipts. The
employee was required to ring up every transaction on the register, and
when the total key was pushed, the drawer opened and a bell would ring,
alerting the manager to a sale taking place. Those original machines were
nothing but simple adding machines.
Since the registration is done with the process of returning change,
according to Bill Bryson odd pricing came about because by charging odd
amounts like 49 and 99 cents (or 45 and 95 cents when nickels are more used
than pennies), the cashier very probably had to open the till for the penny
change and thus announce the sale.
Shortly after the patent, Ritty became overwhelmed with the
responsibilities of running two businesses, so he sold all of his interests
in the cash register business to Jacob H. Eckert of Cincinnati, a china and
glassware salesman, who formed the National Manufacturing Company. In 1884
Eckert sold the company to John H. Patterson, who renamed the company the
National Cash Register Company and improved the cash register by adding a
paper roll to record sales transactions, thereby creating the journal for
internal bookkeeping purposes, and the receipt for external bookkeeping
purposes. The original purpose of the receipt was enhanced fraud
protection. The business owner could read the receipts to ensure that
cashiers charged customers the correct amount for each transaction and did
not embezzle the cash drawer. It also prevents customer from defrauding the
business by falsely claiming of receiving a less amount of change or a
transaction that never happened in the first place. The first evidence of
an actual cash register was used in Coalton Ohio at the old mining company.
In 1906, while working at the National Cash Register company, inventor
Charles F. Kettering designed a cash register with an electric motor.
Various types of modern cash registers.
A leading designer, builder, manufacturer, seller and exporter of cash
registers in the 1950s until the 1970s was London-based (and later
Brighton-based) Gross Cash Registers Ltd., founded by brothers Sam and
Henry Gross. Their cash registers were particularly popular around the time
of decimalisation in Britain in early 1971, Henry having designed one of
the few known models of cash register which could switch currencies from
£sd to £p so that retailers could easily change from one to the other on or
after Decimal Day. Sweda also had decimal ready registers where the
retailer used a special key on decimal day for the conversion'.
* 'In 1922, In Egypt, British archaeologist Howard Carter and his men find
the entrance to Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings. .
- From Wikipedia: 'Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty
(ruled c. 1332–1323 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period
of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom or sometimes the New Empire
Period. He has since his discovery been colloquially referred to as King
Tut. His original name, Tutankhaten, means Living Image of Aten, while
Tutankhamun means Living Image of Amun In hieroglyphs, the name Tutankhamun
was typically written Amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that
placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate
reverence. He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the Amarna letters, and
likely the 18th dynasty king Rathotis who, according to Manetho, an ancient
historian, had reigned for nine years—a figure that conforms with Flavius
Josephus's version of Manetho's Epitome.
The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon of Tutankhamun's
nearly intact tomb received worldwide press coverage. It sparked a renewed
public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun's mask, now in the
Egyptian Museum, remains the popular symbol. Exhibits of artifacts from his
tomb have toured the world. In February 2010, the results of DNA tests
confirmed that he was the son of Akhenaten (mummy KV55). His mother was
Akhenaten's sister and wife (mummy KV35YL), whose name is unknown but whose
remains are positively identified as The Younger Lady mummy found in KV35.
The mysterious deaths of a few of those who excavated Tutankhamun's tomb
has been popularly attributed to the curse of the pharaohs'.
- From Wikipedia: 'Howard Carter (9 May 1874 – 2 March 1939) was an English
archaeologist and Egyptologist who became world-famous after discovering
the intact tomb (designated KV62) of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh, Tutankhamun
(colloquially known as King Tut and the boy king) in November 1922.
In 1907, after three hard years for Carter, Lord Carnarvon employed him to
supervise Carnarvon's Egyptian excavations in the Valley of the Kings. The
intention of Gaston Maspero, who introduced the two, was to ensure that
Howard Carter imposed modern archaeological methods and systems of
recording. KV62 in the Valley of the Kings
Carnarvon financed Carter's work in the Valley of the Kings to 1914, but
until 1917 excavations and study were interrupted by the First World War.
Following the end of the First World War, Carter enthusiastically resumed
his work.
After several years of finding little, Lord Carnarvon became dissatisfied
with the lack of results, and in 1922 informed Carter that he had one more
season of funding to search the Valley of the Kings and find the tomb.
On 4 November 1922, Howard Carter's excavation group found steps that
Carter hoped led to Tutankhamun's tomb (subsequently designated KV62) (the
tomb that would be considered the best preserved and most intact pharaonic
tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings).
He wired Lord Carnarvon to come, and on 26 November 1922, with Carnarvon,
Carnarvon's daughter and others in attendance, Carter made the tiny breach
in the top left hand corner of the doorway (with a chisel his grandmother
had given him for his 17th birthday.) He was able to peer in by the light
of a candle and see that many of the gold and ebony treasures were still in
place. He did not yet know whether it was a tomb or merely a cache, but he
did see a promising sealed doorway between two sentinel statues.
The next several months were spent cataloguing the contents of the
antechamber under the often stressful supervision of Pierre Lacau, director
general of the Department of Antiquities of Egypt. On 16 February 1923,
Carter opened the sealed doorway, and found that it did indeed lead to a
burial chamber, and he got his first glimpse of the sarcophagus of
Tutankhamun. All of these discoveries were eagerly covered by the world's
press, but most of their representatives were kept in their hotels only H.
V. Morton was allowed on the scene, and his vivid descriptions helped to
cement Carter's reputation with the British public.
Carter's own notes and photographic evidence indicate that he, Lord
Carnarvon and Lady Evelyn Herbert entered the burial chamber shortly after
the tomb's discovery and before the official opening'.
* 'In 1939, The first air conditioned automobile (Packard) exhibited. .
- From Wikipedia: 'A company in New York City in the United States first
offered installation of air conditioning for cars in 1933. Most of their
customers operated limousines and luxury cars.
In 1939, Packard became the first automobile manufacturer to offer an air
conditioning unit in its cars. These were manufactured by Bishop and
Babcock Co, of Cleveland, Ohio. The Bishop and Babcock Weather Conditioner
also incorporated a heater. Cars ordered with the new Weather Conditioner
were shipped from Packard's East Grand Boulevard facility to the B and B
factory where the conversion was performed. Once complete, the car was
shipped to a local dealer where the customer would take delivery.
Packard fully warranted and supported this conversion, and marketed it
well. However, it was not commercially successful for a number of reasons'
* 'In 1949, The radio soap opera, One Man's Family, premieres on it's first
TV run. It ran from November 4, 1949 - June 21, 1952). It was already on
radio and ran there from 1932 to 1959.
- From Wikipedia: 'One Man's Family is an American radio soap opera, heard
for almost three decades, from 1932 to 1959. Created by Carlton E. Morse,
it was the longest-running uninterrupted dramatic serial in the history of
American radio. Television versions of the series aired in prime time from
1949 to 1952 and in daytime from 1954 to 1955.
The series employed a literary device with episodes divided into books and
chapters. Spanning 27 years, the program presented 136 books with 3,256
chapters. Storylines were set in the Sea Cliff area of San Francisco,
California, an area familiar to San Franciscan Carlton E. Morse. The radio
plotline centered on stockbroker Henry Barbour, his wife Fanny and their
five children (chronologically: Paul, Hazel, the twins Clifford and
Claudia, and Jack). The dialogue included many specific references to San
Francisco, including the Golden Gate Bridge, which the Barbours could see
from their rear living room window or their garden wall.
Over the entire 27-year run, J. Anthony Smythe starred as Henry Barbour.
The first Fanny was Minetta Ellen (1932–55), followed by Mary Adams.
Michael Raffetto had the role of author-aviator Paul, but a voice problem
led to his replacement in 1955 by Russell Thorson. Hazel was played by
Bernice Berwin (1932–58). Beginning in 1932, Barton Yarborough portrayed
Clifford, but the character was dropped from the storyline after
Yarborough's death from a heart attack on December 19, 1951. Kathleen
Wilson introduced the character of Claudia in 1932, continuing in the role
until Claudia married in August 1943 and was written out of the story. When
Claudia returned (1945–59), she was played by Barbara Fuller. Jack was
portrayed by Page Gilman.
The Barbour grandchildren: Teddy, Hank, Pinky, Margaret, Skipper, Joan,
Penny, Nicky, Elizabeth, Jane, Mary Lou, Abigail, Deborah and Constance.
Conrad Binyon played Henry Herbert Murray, Hank, from 1939 until his 1950
USAF / Calif. Air National Guard departure for the Korean Conflict he was
replaced by Bill Idelson. In November 1947, Cousin Jediah X. Barbour
(Clarence Hartzell) arrived at Sea Cliff. This gave the program an ambiance
not unlike Vic and Sade, since Idelson played adopted son Rush on Vic and
Sade, which also featured Hartzell as Uncle Fletcher Rush. The supporting
cast in the 1930s and 1940s included Bill Bouchey, Tom Collins, Virginia
Gregg, Bill Herbert, Wally Maher, Helen Musselman, Dan O'Herlihy, Walter
Paterson, Ken Peters, Frank Provo, Jean Rouverol, Naomi Stevens, Janet
Waldo and Ben Wright.
After 3,256 episodes, the radio series ceased production on April 24, 1959
(several sources give the incorrect date of May 8, 1959). One Man's Family
was the longest-running serial drama in American radio broadcasting, edging
out Ma Perkins (although Ma Perkins produced over twice as many episodes).
Organist Paul Carson, who played the background music and the opening
theme, Destiny Waltz (1932–41), composed the show's later theme, Waltz
Patrice (aka Patricia). Among its other trademarks, episodes were
introduced as if they were chapters from books'.
* 'In 1952, NSA established. .
- From Wikipedia: 'The National Security Agency (NSA) is an intelligence
organization of the United States government, responsible for global
monitoring, collection, and processing of information and data for foreign
intelligence and counterintelligence purposes, a discipline known as
signals intelligence (SIGINT). NSA is concurrently charged with protection
of U.S. government communications and information systems against
penetration and network warfare. Although many of NSA's programs rely on
passive electronic collection, the agency is authorized to accomplish its
mission through active clandestine means, among which are physically
bugging electronic systems and allegedly engaging in sabotage through
subversive software. Moreover, NSA maintains physical presence in a large
number of countries across the globe, where its Special Collection Service
(SCS) inserts eavesdropping devices in difficult-to-reach places. SCS
collection tactics allegedly encompass close surveillance, burglary,
wiretapping, breaking and entering
Unlike the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA), both of which specialize primarily in foreign human
espionage, NSA does not unilaterally conduct human-source intelligence
gathering, despite often being portrayed so in popular culture. Instead,
NSA is entrusted with assistance to and coordination of SIGINT elements at
other government organizations, which are prevented by law from engaging in
such activities without the approval of the NSA via the Defense Secretary.
As part of these streamlining responsibilities, the agency has a co-located
organization called the Central Security Service (CSS), which was created
to facilitate cooperation between NSA and other U.S. military cryptanalysis
components. Additionally, the NSA Director simultaneously serves as the
Commander of the United States Cyber Command and as Chief of the Central
Security Service.
Originating as a unit to decipher coded communications in World War II, it
was officially formed as the NSA by President Harry S. Truman in 1952.
Since then, it has become one of the largest U.S. intelligence
organizations in terms of personnel and budget, operating as part of the
Department of Defense and simultaneously reporting to the Director of
National Intelligence.
NSA surveillance has been a matter of political controversy on several
occasions, such as its spying on anti-Vietnam war leaders or economic
espionage. In 2013, the extent of some of the NSA's secret surveillance
programs was revealed to the public by Edward Snowden. According to the
leaked documents, the NSA intercepts the communications of over a billion
people worldwide, many of whom are American citizens, and tracks the
movement of hundreds of millions of people using cellphones.
Internationally, research has pointed to the NSA's ability to surveil the
domestic Internet traffic of foreign countries through boomerang routing'.
* 'In 1960, At the Kasakela Chimpanzee Community in Tanzania, Dr. Jane
Goodall observes chimpanzees creating tools, the first-ever observation in
non-human animals. .
- From Wikipedia: 'Dame Jane Morris Goodall, DBE ( born Valerie Jane
Morris-Goodall, 3 April 1934), formerly Baroness Jane van Lawick-Goodall,
is a British primatologist, ethologist, anthropologist, and UN Messenger of
Peace. Considered to be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, Goodall
is best known for her 55-year study of social and family interactions of
wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. She is the
founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots and Shoots program, and
she has worked extensively on conservation and animal welfare issues. She
has served on the board of the Nonhuman Rights Project since its founding
in 1996.
Goodall's research at Gombe Stream is best known to the scientific
community for challenging two long-standing beliefs of the day: that only
humans could construct and use tools, and that chimpanzees were
vegetarians. While observing one chimpanzee feeding at a termite mound, she
watched him repeatedly place stalks of grass into termite holes, then
remove them from the hole covered with clinging termites, effectively
“fishing” for termites. The chimps would also take twigs from trees and
strip off the leaves to make the twig more effective, a form of object
modification which is the rudimentary beginnings of toolmaking. Humans had
long distinguished ourselves from the rest of the animal kingdom as Man the
Toolmaker In response to Goodall's revolutionary findings, Louis Leakey
wrote, We must now redefine man, redefine tool, or accept chimpanzees as
human!
In contrast to the peaceful and affectionate behaviours she observed,
Goodall also found an aggressive side of chimpanzee nature at Gombe Stream.
She discovered that chimps will systematically hunt and eat smaller
primates such as colobus monkeys. Goodall watched a hunting group isolate a
colobus monkey high in a tree, block all possible exits, then one
chimpanzee climbed up and captured and killed the colobus. The others then
each took parts of the carcass, sharing with other members of the troop in
response to begging behaviours. The chimps at Gombe kill and eat as much as
one-third of the colobus population in the park each year. This alone was a
major scientific find which challenged previous conceptions of chimpanzee
diet and behaviour'.
* 'In 1961, The movie 'Misfits' premieres. It was the final film appearance
for both Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. .
- From Wikipedia: 'The Misfits is a 1961 American drama film written by
Arthur Miller, directed by John Huston, and starring Clark Gable, Marilyn
Monroe and Montgomery Clift. The supporting cast features Thelma Ritter,
Eli Wallach and Kevin McCarthy. It marked the last completed film of Gable
and Monroe. For Gable, the film was posthumously released, while Monroe
died the following year. The plot centers on a recently divorced woman
(Monroe) and her time spent with a cowboy (Gable) and his rodeo-riding
friend (Clift) in the Western Nevada desert in the 1960s. The film was a
commercial failure at the time of its release, but received positive
critical comments for its script and performances, and is highly regarded
today'.
* 'In 1984, While a student at the University of Texas at Austin, Michael
Dell creates PCs Limited - a company which he would later call Dell. .
- From Wikipedia: 'Dell Inc. (stylized as DELL) was an American privately
owned multinational computer technology company based in Round Rock, Texas,
United States, that developed, sold, repaired, and supported computers and
related products and services. Eponymously named after its founder, Michael
Dell, the company was one of the largest technological corporations in the
world, employing more than 103,300 people worldwide.
Dell sold personal computers (PCs), servers, data storage devices, network
switches, software, computer peripherals, HDTVs, cameras, printers, MP3
players, and electronics built by other manufacturers. The company was well
known for its innovations in supply chain management and electronic
commerce, particularly its direct-sales model and its build-to-order or
configure to order approach to manufacturing—delivering individual PCs
configured to customer specifications. Dell was a pure hardware vendor for
much of its existence, but with the acquisition in 2009 of Perot Systems,
Dell entered the market for IT services. The company has since made
additional acquisitions in storage and networking systems, with the aim of
expanding their portfolio from offering computers only to delivering
complete solutions for enterprise customers.
Michael Dell founded PC's Limited while a student of the University of
Texas at Austin. The dorm-room headquartered company sold IBM PC-compatible
computers built from stock components. Dell dropped out of school to focus
full-time on his fledgling business, after getting $1,000 in
expansion-capital from his family. In 1985, the company produced the first
computer of its own design, the Turbo PC, which sold for $795. Dell
appeared in PC's Limited advertisements in national magazines, asking
readers to give us a chance to show you what can do Selling directly to
consumers custom-assembled computers according to a selection of options,
the company grossed more than $73 million in its first year of operation.
In 1986, Michael Dell brought in Lee Walker, a 51-year-old venture
capitalist, as president and chief operating officer, to serve as mentor
and to implement Dell's ideas for growing the company. Walker was also
instrumental in recruiting members to the board of directors when the
company went public in 1988. Walker retired in 1990 due to ill health, and
Michael Dell hired Morton Meyerson, former CEO and president of Electronic
Data Systems to transform the company from a fast-growing medium-sized firm
into a billion-dollar enterprise.
The company dropped the PC’s Limited name in 1987 to become Dell Computer
Corporation and began expanding globally. In June 1988, Dell's market
capitalization grew by $30 million to $80 million from its June 22 initial
public offering of 3.5 million shares at $8.50 a share. In 1992, Fortune
magazine included Dell Computer Corporation in its list of the world's 500
largest companies, making Michael Dell the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500
company ever.
In 1993, to complement its own direct sales channel, Dell planned to sell
PCs at big-box retail outlets such as Wal-Mart, which would have brought in
an additional $125 million in annual revenue. Bain consultant Kevin Rollins
persuaded Michael Dell to pull out of these deals, believing they would be
money losers in the long run. Margins at retail were thin at best and Dell
left the reseller channel in 1994. Rollins would soon join Dell full-time
and eventually become the company President and CEO'.

Calendars and one of four months with the length of 30 days. November was
the ninth month of the ancient Roman calendar. November retained its name
(from the Latin novem meaning 'nine') when January and February were added
to the Roman calendar.
