* 'National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day'. . By the National
Confections Association.
- From Wikipedia (Types of chocolate):
'Chocolate is a range of foods derived from cocoa (cacao), mixed with fat
(i.e., cocoa butter) and finely powdered sugar to produce a solid
confectionery. There are several types of chocolate, classified according
to the proportion of cocoa used in a particular formulation.
The use of particular name designations is sometimes subject to
international governmental regulation. Some governments assign chocolate
solids and ranges of chocolate differently.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the naming and
ingredients of cocoa products:
(Product, Chocolate Liquor, Milk Solids, Sugar, Cocoa Fat, Milk Fat) Milk
Chocolate, = 10%, = 12%, , , , Sweet Chocolate, = 15%, < 12%, , , ,
Semisweet or Bittersweet (Dark) Chocolate, = 35%, < 12%, ,,, White
Chocolate, , = 14%, = 55%, = 20%, = 3.5%
In March 2007, the Chocolate Manufacturers Association, whose members
include Hershey's, Nestlé, and Archer Daniels Midland, began lobbying the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to change the legal definition of
chocolate to allow the substitution of safe and suitable vegetable fats and
oils (including partially hydrogenated vegetable oils) for cocoa butter in
addition to using any sweetening agent (including artificial sweeteners)
and milk substitutes. Currently, the FDA does not allow a product to be
referred to as chocolate if the product contains any of these ingredients.
To work around this restriction, products with cocoa substitutes are often
branded or labeled as chocolatey or as in the case of Hershey's Mr. Goodbar
containing vegetable oils, made with chocolate'.
[The Hankster says] Bittersweet chocolate is my favorite, but I won't turn down any flavor. Any nut will do.
* 'Chocolate Mud Cake Day:'.
- From Wikipedia (Kladdkaka):
'Kladdkaka (lit. Gooey cake but more commonly known as chocolate mud cake)
is a type of Swedish cake. This dense sticky chocolate cake is similar to a
brownie and has a soft and gooey center. It is sometimes eaten with whipped
cream or vanilla ice cream.
The cake may have been inspired by the brownie or a French chocolate cake
recipe'.
[The Hankster says] Sounds like a lava cake brownie. Yum.

* 'Job Action Day'.
Since 2008 by Quintcareers in 2008. Make the job you have, the job you
want, or consider another job that fits your desires.
[The Hankster says] My action was to retire.
* 'Notary Public Day'.
- From Wikipedia 9Notary public):
'A notary public (or notary or public notary) of the common law is a public
officer constituted by law to serve the public in non-contentious matters
usually concerned with estates, deeds, powers-of-attorney, and foreign and
international business. A notary's main functions are to administer oaths
and affirmations, take affidavits and statutory declarations, witness and
authenticate the execution of certain classes of documents, take
acknowledgments of deeds and other conveyances, protest notes and bills of
exchange, provide notice of foreign drafts, prepare marine or ship's
protests in cases of damage, provide exemplifications and notarial copies,
and perform certain other official acts depending on the jurisdiction. Any
such act is known as a notarization. The term notary public only refers to
common-law notaries and should not be confused with civil-law notaries.
With the exceptions of Louisiana, Puerto Rico, Quebec, whose private law is
based on civil law, and British Columbia, whose notarial tradition stems
from scrivener notary practice, a notary public in the rest of the United
States and most of Canada has powers that are far more limited than those
of civil-law or other common-law notaries, both of whom are qualified
lawyers admitted to the bar: such notaries may be referred to as
notaries-at-law or lawyer notaries. Therefore, at common law, notarial
service is distinctly different from the practice of law, and giving legal
advice and preparing legal instruments is forbidden to lay notaries such as
those appointed throughout most of the United States of America'.

* 'Color the World Orange Day'. First Monday in November. Since 2014. A
focus on Complex Regional Pain Syndrom and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.
- From Wikipedia (Royal College of Pathologists):
'The Royal College of Pathologists is a professional membership
organisation committed to promoting excellence in the practice of
pathology. Its main function is the overseeing of postgraduate training,
and its Fellowship Examination (FRCPath) is recognised as the standard
assessment of fitness to practice in this branch of medicine.
The RCP was founded in 1962, to optimise postgraduate training in the
relatively young science of pathology, with its high importance in the
diagnostic process, and the increasing range of specialist studies within
it. The College received its Royal Charter in 1970 and its Patron is Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II'.
- From Wikipedia (Pathology):
'Pathology (from the Greek roots of pathos, meaning experience or
suffering, and -logia, study of) is a significant component of the causal
study of disease and a major field in modern medicine and diagnosis.
The term pathology itself may be used broadly to refer to the study of
disease in general, incorporating a wide range of bioscience research
fields and medical practices (including plant pathology and veterinary
pathology), or more narrowly to describe work within the contemporary
medical field of general pathology, which includes a number of distinct but
inter-related medical specialties that diagnose disease—mostly through
analysis of tissue, cell, and body fluid samples. Used as a count noun, a
pathology (plural, pathologies) can also refer to the predicted or actual
progression of particular diseases (as in the statement the many different
forms of cancer have diverse pathologies), and the affix path is sometimes
used to indicate a state of disease in cases of both physical ailment (as
in cardiomyopathy) and psychological conditions (such as psychopathy).
Similarly, a pathological condition is one caused by disease, rather than
occurring physiologically. A physician practicing pathology is called a
pathologist.
As a field of general inquiry and research, pathology addresses four
components of disease: cause/etiology, mechanisms of development
(pathogenesis), structural alterations of cells (morphologic changes), and
the consequences of changes (clinical manifestations). In common medical
practice, general pathology is mostly concerned with analyzing known
clinical abnormalities that are markers or precursors for both infectious
and non-infectious disease and is conducted by experts in one of two major
specialties, anatomical pathology and clinical pathology. Further divisions
in specialty exist on the basis of the involved sample types (comparing,
for example, cytopathology, hematopathology, and histopathology), organs
(as in renal pathology), and physiological systems (oral pathology), as
well as on the basis of the focus of the examination (as with forensic
pathology).
The sense of the word pathology as a synonym of disease or pathosis is very
common in health care. The persistence of this usage despite attempted
proscription is discussed elsewhere'.
* 'National Pathology Week'. November 7-13 in Great Britain. By The Royal
College of Pathologists.
o Animal and Pet:
* 'National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day'. Created by Terry Simons when
his dog Reveille was diagnosed with this cancer (common in dogs).
- From Wikipedia (Lymphoma in animals):
'Lymphoma (lymposarcoma) in animals is a type of cancer defined by a
proliferation of malignant lymphocytes within solid organs such as the
lymph nodes, bone marrow, liver and spleen. The disease also may occur in
the eye, skin, and gastrointestinal tract.
Lymphoma is one of the most common malignant tumors to occur in dogs. The
cause is genetic, but there are also suspected environmental factors
involved, including in one study an increased risk with the use of the
herbicide 2,4-D. This risk was not confirmed in another study.
Breeds that are commonly affected include Boxer, Scottish Terrier, Basset
Hound, Airedale Terrier, Chow Chow, German Shepherd, Poodle, St. Bernard,
Bulldog, Beagle, Rottweiler and Golden Retriever. The Golden Retriever is
especially susceptible to developing lymphoma, with a lifetime risk of
1:8'.
<> Historical events on November 7
* 'In 1874, A cartoon by Thomas Nast in Harper's Weekly, is considered the
first important use of an elephant as a symbol for the United States
Republican Party. He also popularized the 19th century visualization of
Santa Clause (the suit was not red and whiteyet, that came in 1930's Coca
Cola advertisements. .
- From Wikipedia: 'Along with his brothers James, John, and Wesley,
Fletcher Harper began the publishing company Harper and Brothers in 1825.
Following the successful example of the Illustrated London News, Harper
started publishing Harper's Magazine in 1850. The monthly publication
featured established authors such as Charles Dickens and William Makepeace
Thackeray, and within several years, its circulation and interest grew
enough to sustain a weekly edition.
In 1857, his company began publishing Harper's Weekly in New York City. By
1860 the circulation of the Weekly had reached 200,000. Illustrations were
an important part of the Weekly's content, and it developed a reputation
for using some of the most renowned illustrators of the time, notably
Winslow Homer, Granville Perkins and Livingston Hopkins.
Among the recurring features were the political cartoons of Thomas Nast,
who was recruited in 1862 and worked with the Weekly for more than 20
years. Nast was a feared caricaturist, and is often called the father of
American political cartooning. He was the first to use an elephant as the
symbol of the Republican Party. He also drew the legendary character of
Santa Claus his version became strongly associated with the figure, who was
popularized as part of Christmas customs in the late nineteenth century'.
* 'In 1885, The completion of Canada's first transcontinental railway is
symbolized by the Last Spike ceremony at Craigellachie, British Columbia.
The railway opened in June of 1886 due to additional construction that was
needed. .
- From Wikipedia: 'The Last Spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was the
ceremonial final spike driven into the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) at
Craigellachie, British Columbia at 9:22 am on November 7, 1885. It was
driven in by CPR railroad financier Donald Smith, marking the end of a saga
of natural disasters, financial crises, and even rebellion that plagued
Canada's first transcontinental railroad from its beginning.
The Last Spike signalled the completion of the CPR (although the need for
other work besides the track itself meant that the railway did not actually
open until June 1886), driven through under engineer James Ross, it remains
a symbol of national unity in Canada. At the time, it fulfilled an 1871
commitment made by the Canadian federal government to British Columbia
which stipulated that a railroad be built joining the Pacific province to
Central Canada. The promise of a transcontinental railway had been a major
factor in British Columbia's decision to join the Canadian Confederation.
However, successive governments mismanaged the project and by the original
deadline of 1881 little of the railway had been completed, resulting in
threats of secession by some BC politicians. The work was then assigned to
a newly incorporated CPR company, which was allowed an additional ten years
to complete the line, and they did it in five. A plaque commemorating the
driving of the Last Spike
The circumstance of the CPR's last spike ceremony led several spikes to
assume the honour of being the last spike In contrast to the ceremonial
gold or silver final spikes often used to mark the completion of other
major railroads, the CPR's Last Spike was a conventional iron spike
identical to the many others used in the construction of the line. A silver
spike had been created for the Governor General, Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice,
5th Marquess of Lansdowne, who was to be present at the ceremony but he was
forced, due to poor weather, to return with the spike to Ottawa. The silver
spike remained with the Van Horne family until 2012 when they donated it,
along with other artifacts, to the Canadian Museum of Civilization in
Gatineau, Quebec.
The symbolic iron spike driven by Donald Smith was badly bent as he pounded
it into the railway tie. Roadmaster Frank Brothers extracted the spike and
it was given to Smith as the last spike Smith had the bent spike
straightened and cut several strips of iron from it which were mounted with
diamonds and presented to the wives of some of the party assembled at
Craigellachie. This spike was later donated to the Canada Science and
Technology Museum in Ottawa. It is on long term loan to the Canadian Museum
of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia where it is displayed as
a tribute the immigrant railway workers who were critical to the railway's
construction.
Smith later used another iron spike, usually called the ordinary or fourth
spike to provide iron to make symbolic jewelry for the wives of other
officials, but he made the strips larger to distinguish these souvenirs
from the original brooches.
The second last spike, which Smith successfully drove into the tie, was
removed from the track shortly after the ceremony to prevent theft by
souvenir hunters. A regular spike was inserted in its place. This spike was
given to the son of the patent office president at the time, and is still
in the family's possession, fashioned into the shape of a carving knife.
The now famous photograph of Donald Alexander Smith driving in The Last
Spike was taken by Winnipeg photographer Alexander J. Ross'.
* 'IIn 1907, Jesús Garc¡a saves the entire town of Nacozari de Garc¡a by
driving a burning train full of dynamite (full speed in reverse) six
kilometers (3.7 miles) away before it exploded, killing him but saving the
town. He was declared 'Hero of Humanity' by the American Red Cross.
- From Wikipedia: 'Jesús García Corona (13 November 1881 – 7 November 1907)
was a Mexican railroad brakeman who died while preventing a train loaded
with dynamite from exploding near Nacozari, Sonora, in 1907. As el héroe de
Nacozari he is revered as a national hero and many streets, plazas, and
schools across Mexico are named for him.
García was born in Hermosillo, Sonora. At the age of 17 got a job with
Moctezuma Copper Company, but due to his age, he was made a waterboy. He
was promoted to switchman, then to brakeman.
Jesús García was the railroad brakeman for the train that covered the line
between Nacozari, Sonora, and Douglas, Arizona. On 7 November 1907 the
train was stopped in the town and, as he was resting, he saw that some hay
on the roof of a car containing dynamite had caught fire. The cause of the
fire was that the locomotive's firebox was failing and sparks were going
out from the smokestack. The wind blew them and got into the dynamite cars.
García drove the train in reverse downhill at full-steam six kilometers out
of the town before the dynamite exploded, killing him and sparing the
population of the mining town.
In his honor a statue was raised and the name of the town of Nacozari was
changed to Nacozari de García. He was declared Hero of Humanity by the
American Red Cross, many streets in Mexico carry his name, and the Estadio
Héroe de Nacozari sports stadium in Hermosillo is also named after him.
García's sacrifice is remembered in the corrido (ballad) Máquina 501, sung
by Pancho el Charro Avitia, and Mexican railroad workers commemorate 7
November every year as the Día del Ferrocarrilero (Railroader's Day). His
heroism is also recounted in the ballad, Jesus Garcia sung by Arizona
State's official balladeer, Dolan Ellis, who wanted to let the world know
of the Casey Jones of Mexico who saved the town'.
* 'In 1932, The radio show 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century' premieres. It
is considered as being the first science fiction radio show. It ran from
November 7, 1932 to March 28, 1947 for approximately 860 ep.
- From Wikipedia: Buck Rogers is a fictional space opera character created
by Philip Francis Nowlan in the novella, Armageddon 2419 A.D., and
subsequently appearing in multiple media. In Armageddon 2419 A.D.,
published in the August 1928 issue of the pulp magazine, Amazing Stories,
the character's given name was Anthony A sequel, The Airlords of Han, was
published in the March 1929 issue.
'In 1932, the Buck Rogers radio program, notable as the first
science-fiction program on radio, hit the airwaves. It was broadcast in
four separate runs with varying schedules. Initially broadcast as a
15-minute show on CBS in 1932, it was on a Monday through Thursday
schedule. In 1936, it moved to a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule and
went off the air the same year. Mutual brought the show back and broadcast
it three days a week from April to July 1939 and from May to July 1940, a
30-minute version was broadcast on Saturdays. From September 1946 to March
1947, Mutual aired a 15-minute version on weekdays.
The radio show again related the story of our hero Buck finding himself in
the 25th century. Actors Matt Crowley, Curtis Arnall, Carl Frank and John
Larkin all voiced him at various times. The beautiful and strong-willed
Wilma Deering was portrayed by Adele Ronson, and the brilliant
scientist-inventor Dr. Huer was played by Edgar Stehli.
The radio series was produced and directed by Carlo De Angelo and later by
Jack Johnstone'.
* 'In 1940, In Tacoma, Washington, the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge
collapses in a windstorm, a mere four months after the bridge's completion.
Due to it's swaying, it had the name of 'Galloping Gertie'.
- From Wikipedia: 'The 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge, the first Tacoma Narrows
Bridge, was a suspension bridge in the U.S. state of Washington that
spanned the Tacoma Narrows strait of Puget Sound between Tacoma and the
Kitsap Peninsula. It opened to traffic on July 1, 1940, and dramatically
collapsed into Puget Sound on November 7 of the same year. At the time of
its construction (and its destruction), the bridge was the third-longest
suspension bridge in the world in terms of main span length, behind the
Golden Gate Bridge and the George Washington Bridge.
Construction on the bridge began in September 1938. From the time the deck
was built, it began to move vertically in windy conditions, which led to
construction workers giving the bridge the nickname Galloping Gertie. The
motion was observed even when the bridge opened to the public. Several
measures aimed at stopping the motion were ineffective, and the bridge's
main span finally collapsed under 40-mile-per-hour (64 km/h) wind
conditions the morning of November 7, 1940.
Following the collapse, the United States' involvement in World War II
delayed plans to replace the bridge. The portions of the bridge still
standing after the collapse, including the towers and cables, were
dismantled and sold as scrap metal. Nearly 10 years after the bridge
collapsed, a new Tacoma Narrows Bridge opened in the same location, using
the original bridge's tower pedestals and cable anchorages. The portion of
the bridge that fell into the water now serves as an artificial reef.
The bridge's collapse had a lasting effect on science and engineering. In
many physics textbooks, the event is presented as an example of elementary
forced resonance, with the wind providing an external periodic frequency
that matched the bridge's natural structural frequency, though many believe
the actual cause of failure was aeroelastic flutter. Its failure also
boosted research in the field of bridge aerodynamics-aeroelastics, the
study of which has influenced the designs of all the world's great
long-span bridges built since 1940'.
* 'In 1963, The comedy, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, premiered in
Hollywood. It starred Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Buddy
Hackett, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn, Phil Silvers,
Terry-Thomas, Jonathan Winters, Edie Adams and Dorothy Provine. .
- From Wikipedia: 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is a 1963 American epic
comedy film, produced and directed by Stanley Kramer and starring Spencer
Tracy with an all-star cast, about the madcap pursuit of $350,000
($2,710,000 today) in stolen cash by a diverse and colorful group of
strangers. The ensemble comedy premiered on November 7, 1963. The cast
features Edie Adams, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman,
Mickey Rooney, Phil Silvers, Terry-Thomas, and Jonathan Winters.
The film marked the first time that Kramer had directed a comedy, though he
had produced the comedy So This Is New York in 1948. He's best known for
producing and directing drama films about social problems, such as The
Defiant Ones, Inherit the Wind, Judgment at Nuremberg, and Guess Who's
Coming to Dinner. His first attempt at a comedy film paid off immensely, as
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World became a stunning critical and commercial
success in 1963 and went on to win an Academy Award (for Best Sound
Editing) and to be nominated for five additional Academy Awards and two
Golden Globe Awards. Despite this, the film suffered severe cuts by its
distributor United Artists in order to give the film a shorter running time
for its general release. The footage was excised against Kramer's wishes.
The lost footage seriously deteriorated through the decades and was once
thought impossible to restore.
On October 15, 2013, however, it was announced that The Criterion
Collection had collaborated with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, United Artists, and
film restoration expert Robert A. Harris to reconstruct and restore It's a
Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World to be as close as possible to the original
197-minute version envisioned by Kramer. It was released in a 5-disc Dual
Format Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack on January 21, 2014. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad,
Mad World featured at #40 in the American Film Institute's list 100
Years...100 Laughs'.
* 'In 1965, The 'Pillsbury Dough Boy' (Poppin' Fresh) debuted in television
commercials. The original figure was animated by stop motion clay
animation. Today it is done via CGI. .
- From Wikipedia: 'Poppin' Fresh, more widely known as the Pillsbury
Doughboy, is an advertising icon and mascot of the Pillsbury Company,
appearing in many of their commercials. Many commercials from 1965 until
2004 (returned in 2009 to 2011 and 2013 in a Geico Commercial) conclude
with a human finger poking the Doughboy's stomach. The Doughboy responds
when his stomach is poked by giggling (Hoo-Hoo!, or earlier on, a slight
giggle tee hee).
The Pillsbury Doughboy was created by Rudy Perz, a copywriter for
Pillsbury's longtime advertising agency, Leo Burnett. Perz was sitting in
his kitchen in the spring of 1965, under pressure to create an advertising
campaign for Pillsbury's refrigerated dough product line (biscuits, dinner
rolls, sweet rolls and cookies). Perz imagined a living dough boy popping
out of a Pillsbury Crescent Rolls can. To distinguish the dough boy from
the rolls, he gave it a scarf, a chef's hat, two big blue eyes, a blush,
and a soft, warm chuckle when poked in the stomach. The Doughboy was
originally designed by Milt Schaffer and brought to life using stop motion
clay animation. Today, CGI is used. The first CGI commercial was directed
by Tim Johnson who at that time was working for PDI.
Perz originally conceived the Doughboy as an animated figure, but changed
his mind after seeing a stop motion titling technique used in the opening
credits for The Dinah Shore Show. A three-dimensional Doughboy puppet was
then created at a cost of $16,000. Veteran cartoon voice actor Paul Frees
was chosen to be Fresh's voice. Veteran stop-motion animator George Pal was
hired to animate him. The first Poppin' Fresh commercials aired in October
1965. Since then, Pillsbury has used Poppin' Fresh in more than 600
commercials for more than fifty of its products. He also appeared in a
MasterCard commercial, with the Jolly Green Giant, the Morton Salt Girl,
the Vlasic stork, and Count Chocula, as some of the ten merchandising
icons, depicted as having dinner together. He even appears in ads for the
Got Milk? ad campaign and the Sprint Phone Company.
After Frees' death in 1986, Jeff Bergman took over. Today, the high-pitched
giggles are done by Jobe Cerny'.
* 'In 1967, The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, establishes the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
- From Wikipedia: 'The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 (U.S.C. - 396) set
up public broadcasting in the United States, establishing the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and, eventually, the Public Broadcasting
Service (PBS), and National Public Radio (NPR). .
* 'In 1994, The student radio station of the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, called WXYC, provides the first ever internet radio
broadcast. .
- From Wikipedia: 'WXYC (89.3 FM) is an American radio station broadcasting
a college radio format. Licensed to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA, the
station is run by students of the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill. The station is owned by Student Educational Broadcasting. The station
has obtained a construction permit from the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) for a power increase to 1,200 watts.
The station broadcasts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Its signal has been
simulcast on the Internet by ibiblio since November 1994 and is credited as
having performed the first Internet radio broadcast in the world. It can
also be found on iTunes, where, based on listener feedback, it would appear
to enjoy some popularity in the UK and the American Northeast among
internet listeners.
The station is known for an eclectic variety of content, including: jazz,
blues, rock, hip hop, zydeco, metal, electronic music, folk music,
bluegrass, country, traditional Asian music, traditional African music,
calypso, samba, tejano, mariachi, Latin American music, funk, electroclash,
synthpop, pop, cajun, doo wop, reggae, dance hall, classical, classic rock,
and almost any other type of music.
There is a stated emphasis on music from the 20th century onwards (as
opposed to classical), though classical music is played from time to time.
Furthermore, there is a conscious attempt to give artists from North
Carolina (especially the greater Chapel Hill area) more air time, but local
artists do not dominate the content. There are also specialty talk shows
that highlight sports, news, and student government at UNC. Specialty music
shows exhibit material from UNC's Southern Folklife Collection, music
usually considered too erratic, abrasive, or long for regular radio play
(even by WXYC's permissive standards), local music, newly released music,
and electronic/dance. Additionally, every Thursday night there is a
three-hour theme show. The theme of this show changes every week, but a few
examples include: songs about chickens, music from Mexico, Swing music from
occupied Europe, the northern England electronic scene, batucada, music
performed by convicted criminals, and Carolina Soul of the 1960s through
1980s'.

November is:
November origin (from Wikipedia): 'November is the eleventh month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian
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.
'
'November is a month of spring in the Southern Hemisphere and autumn in
the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, November in the Southern Hemisphere
is the seasonal equivalent of May in the Northern Hemisphere and vice
versa.'
