The group comprises 3 bishops, 79 priests, 7 male religious, 8 female religious, and 11 lay people. There are two parishes named for the 108 Martyrs of World War II in Powiercie in Koło County, and in Malbork, Poland.

THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE NANTAN, GOYATLE (GERONIMO) IN WAR CAP :

Bedonkohe ...

Geronimo was born in what is today Arizona in the upper Gila River country on June 16, 1829. His birth name was Goyahkla, or "one who yawns." He was part of the Bedonkohe subsection of the Chiricahua tribe of Apaches, a small but mighty group of around 8,000 people ...

Apache nantans led from the front, so he might just be checking up on the column behind him. Many Apaches think he caused unnecessary decimation of the Chiricahua people; that he remained in the field too long, causing avoidable deaths. This nantan was blinded by revenge on the Mexicans. Full disclosure: he came home from what would pass for a shopping trip one day in 1851, and found his entire camp slaughtered by Mexican troops from Janos, Mexico. The dead included his mother Juana, wife Alope, and their three infant daughters. That Empire State Building sized horror, fell on one man all on the same day. So, you be the judge.

By 1884, he was in a bind. It became very difficult to recruit warriors from the reservations, as was the custom in earlier years. He even found himself competing with the US Cavalry for Apache men. The Army offered adult males jobs as scouts. Every scout was a warrior, but not every warrior became scouts. Those Army scouts were the albatross around his neck. They knew everything about him, the tribe and its refuges on both sides of the border. Every water hole, hiding place, arms cache, cave warehouses etc., were known to them. They would destroy winter stores piled up from summer operations in Mexico and Arizona/New Mexico. They essentially broke his back. By 1886, the pickings reached an all time low. He boiled down to 19 warriors; even resorted to child warriors. There were no bargaining chips left on the table from the 1884 talks. Geronimo was painted into a corner marked "unconditional surrender" ... When he finally handed over his rifle to General miles in September of 1886, there were only 38 people left in his band; half of them warriors. Deportation to Oklahoma, and what turned out to be a life sentence for him followed ...

The Chiricahuas served 27 years of incarceration 💔, before being released in 1913. It remains the longest confinement in US Military history ...

RIP Nantan Goyatle.

SAINTS OF THE DAY (May 4)

The Carthusian Martyrs of London were the monks of the London Charterhouse, the monastery of the Carthusian Order in the city of London who were put to death by the English state.

The method of execution was hanging, disembowelling while still alive, and quartering. Others were imprisoned and left to starve to death.

These 18 Carthusian monks were put to death in England under King Henry VIII between 1535-1540 for maintaining their allegiance to the Pope.

The Carthusians, founded by St. Bruno in 1054, are the strictest and most austere monastic order in the western Church.

They live an austere hermitic life, their ‘monastery’ actually being a number of hermitages built next to each other.

When Henry VIII issued his “Act of Supremacy” declaring that all who refused to take an oath recognizing him as head of the Church of England committed an act of high treason, these 18 Carthusians refused and were sentenced to death.

The first to die were the Carthusian prior of London, John Houghton, and two of his brothers, Robert Lawrence and Augustine Webster, who were hanged, drawn and quartered, on 4 May 1535.

The prior is said to have declared his fidelity to the Catholic Church and forgiven his executioners before dying.

The Carthusians were the first martyrs to die under the reign of Henry VIII.

Two more were killed on June 19 of that year. By 4 August 1540, all 18 had been tortured and killed for refusing to place their allegiance to the king before their allegiance to the Pope.

They were beatified by Pope Leo XIII on 29 December 1886.

John Houghton, Robert Lawrence, and Augustine Webster were canonized by Pope Paul VI on 25 October 1970.

Sexual adventure 

Like the Netherlands, prostitution is legal in Curaçao. 

Near the airport is an adult resort called Campo Alegre (Happy Camp), a jaw-droppingly enormous brothel. 

Because of the shape and color of the logo, locals discretely refer to the camp as "The Green Leaf.” 

The $6 admission fee (they don't check identification) is so worth the adventure. 

The sprawling open-air property was originally an army encampment. 

And it has recently undergone considerable refurbishment: There's a sleek high-speed Internet cafe, a gift shop, a clothing boutique (that sells Falcon's Mike Branson dildos), a massage parlor, an S/M dungeon, a business center, a lounge bar and even a water fountain.

Campo Alegre is like a small town — with boulevards that guests can stroll through as they pass by the tiny 1940s cabins where the prostitutes live. 

Except for a couple of restricted trips per week, the women are not permitted to leave, less they start independently cutting their own deals. 

The employees keep in shape at the gym. 

And after a sweaty workout, guests can watch them rinse off through the glass-walled shower stall. Upon a recent visit, I was told that I had just missed the annual "community day" — where locals are invited to inspect Happy Camp and see how well maintained it is. 

Apparently, parents are encouraged to bring the kids. 

Corporate sponsorship is big at Campo Allegre. 

Huge neon-lit beer signs arch across the boulevards. But my Dallas civic pride burst with joy when I stumbled across gigantic meticulously tiled Coca-Cola logo. 

In case y'all didn’t know, the first batch of Coke ever bottled came from Deep Ellum in 1902. 

As I looked at the cabin directly in front of the Coke logo, an enormous dildo proudly stood inside the windowsill.

The vibe at Campo Allegre is strictly hetero. 

However, during the Wednesday night strip shows, the johns apparently get a little frisky and the men are known to cruise each other — however, the down-low scene there appears way too dangerous for a tourist to dare attempt.

Original Site of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Dallas

One of the first companies in the nation granted franchise rights for the distribution of Coca-Cola in bottles, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Dallas produced the city's first bottle of Coca-Cola on this site on June 10, 1902.

J.T. Lupton of Chattanooga, Tennessee, was the principal owner, with an initial investment of $5,000.

Three employees handled the entire operation. They were: R.D. Twinam, company manager; Mr. Dixon, the bookkeeper; and Fred Welsh, who operated the bottling machine.

The employees sold 37 cases on the first day of production and delivered them in a one-horse wagon.

In the bottling process, glass Coca-Cola bottles were filled by using a hand-operated, foot-powered machine that held two bottles, one beneath the syrup and the other under the filling head for the carbonated water, where the bottles also were capped.

Bottles were reused and had to be hand-washed by putting cleaning fluid and steel pellets, similar to gunshot, into the bottles and shaking them vigorously.

By 1905, sales of Coca-Cola had increased such that the company moved the bottling plant to 1800 Wood Street.

From its small beginnings here in Deep Ellum, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Dallas, later renamed the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of North Texas, grew to more than 2,600 employees in 19 locations by its centennial in Dallas in 2002. (2002) 

The Universal Drink

How Coca-Cola came to rule the world. In the fizzy world of carbonated beverages, today marked a notable anniversary.

On May 8, 1886, a pharmacist in Georgia named John Pemberton sold the first glass of Coca-Cola, inaugurating what is arguably the most successful product in history.

According to the beverage maker, Pemberton sold nine servings per day during the soft drink’s first year; by the time The New Yorker’s E. J. Kahn wrote about it, in 1959, that number had soared to forty thousand servings every minute.

European royalty drank it; so had Hitler.

The Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie imported special deliveries on his imperial plane—or he did, that is, until a bottling plant opened in Addis Ababa.

Despite the company’s astonishing rise, the quintessentially American creation was not without detractors.

Critics across the political spectrum derided Coke’s sweeping expansion, identifying “a new type of imperialism” in the form of “Coca-Colonialism.”

The Second World War had played a major role in the company’s global spread, but the Cold War was proving a serious obstacle.

(Although the Iron Curtain had a few cracks: Soviet-bloc athletes guzzled more Coke than anyone else at the 1956 Olympics, in Australia.)

At the end of the article, Kahn jokes that Coca-Cola might prove the key to global peace—a prophecy that didn’t come to pass, unfortunately, but one that did anticipate the company’s iconic “I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke” ad campaign, which launched a little more than a decade later.

The unpopular lead conductor had resigned in a huff; the audience shouted his unpopular replacement off…

"Lord Bessborough rend honneur aux Victoria Rifles," La Presse. June 19, 1933. Page 13. ---- Le gouverneur général pose la première pierre de leur nouvel arsenal.

Belle cérémonie --- En présence d'une fort belle assistance militaire et civile, S. E. le comte de Bessborough, gouverneur général du Canada, a scellé samedi après-midi la pierre angulaire du nouvel arsenal des Victoria Rifles rue Cathcart, près de la rue Université, arsenal qui va doter ce grand régiment d'un établissement digne de ses fastes car jusqu'ici il ne possédait qu'un arsenal fort rudimentaire.

D’ailleurs le lieutenant-colonel Stuart-A. Rolland, commandant du régiment, en souhaitant la bienvenue au représentant de Sa Majesté, souligna cet état de choses et indiqua comment les Vics ont dû se contenter jusqu'à maintenant d'un arsenal tout à fait insuffisant et ce depuis nombre d'années.

Malgré la pluie qui commença de tomber peu après l'arrivée du gouverneur général revenu en train special de Shawbridge où il s’était rendu le cérémonie se déroula en présence d'une grande foule.

Le scellage de la pierre Une garde d'honneur de cent hommes, en grand uniforme, cet élégant uniforme vert, avec le bonnet de police en astrakan, que portent les Victoria Rifles, sous le commandement du major I.-H. Eakin, assisté du lieutenant M.-M. Allan et du second lieutenant C.-P. Decary, massée dans la rue Cathcart, face à l'édifice en construction, ajoutait au pittoresque de la manifestation que le cinéma et la photographie prirent sous tous les angles.

Le gouverneur général passa en revue la garde d'honneur et après avoir serre in main au lieutenant-colonel Rolland, se rangea à la tête des invités d'honneur au nombre de plus d'une centaine.

Après les quelques mots de présentation du lieutenant-colonel Rolland, qui remercia aussi le ministère de la défense nationale, le gouverneur général procéda au scellage de la pierre angulaire.

Le passé et l'avenir des Victoria Rifles Le gouverneur général, avant deprendre la truelle d'argent que lui présentait le lieutenant-colonel Rolland, prononça une courte allocution au cours de laquelle il rappela surtout les services rendus par les Victoria Rifles à l'empire britannique et affirma sa conviction que leur nouvel arsenal permettrait des hauts faits encore plus glorieux que jadis.

Immédiatement après le scellage de la pierre, l'évêque J.-C. Farthing la bénit avec tout le cérémonial d'usage.

Parmi l'assistance nombreuse, on connaissait sir Arthur Currie, le major general A.-C.-L. McNaughton, chef d'état-major; le brigadier général W-W-P. Gibsone; le brigadier général E. de B. Panel, le brigadier général T.-L. Tremblay, de Québec; le brigadier général John-A. Gunn, de Toronto; et le lieutenant-colonel Birtwhistle, d'Ottawa.

Le nouvel arsenal est construit sur l'emplacement de l'ancien arsenal érige en 1886 et devrait être terminé en décembre prochain.

History

June 18

June 18, 1812 - After much debate, the U.S. Senate voted 19 to 13 in favor of a declaration of war against Great Britain, prompted by Britain's violation of America's rights on the high seas and British incitement of Indian warfare on the Western frontier. The next day, President James Madison officially proclaimed the U.S. to be in a state of war. The War of 1812 lasted over two years and ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in Belgium on December 24, 1814.

June 18, 1815 - On the fields near Waterloo in central Belgium, 72,000 French troops, led by Napoleon, suffered a crushing military defeat from a combined Allied army of 113,000 British, Dutch, Belgian, and Prussian troops. Thus ended 23 years of warfare between France and the other powers of Europe. Napoleon was then sent into exile on the island of St. Helena off the coast of Africa. On May 5, 1821, the former vain-glorious Emperor died alone on the tiny island, abandoned by everyone.

June 18, 1983 - Dr. Sally Ride, a 32-year-old physicist and pilot, became the first American woman in space, beginning a six-day mission aboard the space shuttle Challenger, launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Birthday - British explorer George Mallory (1886-1924) was born in Mobberley, Cheshire, England. When asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, he simply answered, "Because it is there." He disappeared while climbing through the mists toward its summit on the morning of June 8, 1924. His body, perfectly preserved due to the cold conditions, was discovered by climbers in 1999, just 600 meters (2,030 feet) from the summit.

SAINTS OF THE DAY FOR MAY 04

His labors met with considerable success, but he was arrested within a year. Released by English authorities, he departed the island but came back in 1579. While staying in Warwickshire on the estate of one Lady Petre, he was arrested once more after being denounced by John Eliot, a known murderer who made a career out of denouncing Catholics and priests for bounty.
