Rollout Ceremony for the third operational orbiter, Discovery (OV-103) at Palmdale, California. On the stage is the Don Beall of Rockwell (at lectern), Dr. Rocco A. Petrone, the president of the company and the crew of her first first flight STS-41-D.

She is named for several different ships:

"The name Discovery was chosen to carry on a tradition based on ships of exploration, primarily HMS Discovery, one of the ships commanded by Captain James Cook during his third and final major voyage from 1776 to 1779, and Henry Hudson's Discovery, which was used in 1610–1611 to explore Hudson Bay and search for a Northwest Passage. Other ships bearing the name have included HMS Discovery of the 1875–1876 British Arctic Expedition to the North Pole, and RRS Discovery, which carried the 1901–1904 Discovery Expedition to Antarctica, led by Captain Scott."

-information from Wikipedia: link

At the beginning of her career, Discovery weighed roughly 3,600 kg (7,900 lb) less than Columbia due to lessons learned during the construction and testing of Enterprise, Columbia and Challenger. She weighs 6 pounds (2.7 kg) heavier than Atlantis and 363 pounds (165 kg) heavier than Endeavour. Part of this was due to the greater use of quilted AFRSI blankets rather than the white LRSI tiles on the fuselage, and the use of graphite epoxy instead of aluminum for the payload bay doors and some of the wing spars and beams.

"During her construction, Discovery was fitted with several black tiles near the middle starboard window where there should have been white tiles. It is unknown if this was the result of a harmless manufacturing mishap or done intentionally to give a distinctive look to the shuttle. This feature has been called 'teardrop' and allowed Discovery to be easily identified.

Upon her delivery to the Kennedy Space Center in 1983, Discovery was modified alongside Challenger to accommodate the liquid-fueled Centaur-G booster, which had been planned for use beginning in 1986 but was cancelled in the wake of the Challenger disaster."

She was originally intended to be the dedicated US Air Force shuttle and launch DoD payloads from SLC-6 at Vandenberg AFB but these plans were cancelled in aftermath of the Challenger disaster.

These are some facts and curiosities about Karl Brandt, the head of the Aktion T4:

He was born on 8th of January, 1904 in Alsace.

He began his studies in 1924, at the University of Jena, and in 1928, at the age of 24, he became a doctor.

A young doctor when he joined the Nazi party in 1932, he placed his hopes in the party for the recovery of the Alsace region, which in the meantime had returned under French rule (in 1919). A very important role in the formation of his thought was played by an Alsatian like him, the Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer, whose work as a missionary in Africa he however could not join for political and military reasons.

In 1934, at the age of just 29, he became the Führer's personal doctor . The conflict between the two was always quite heated. In fact, while Hitler's official doctor, Morell, was considered a charlatan, Karl Brandt was the scientific figure and traditional doctor of the Reich.

He was the man chosen by Hitler as the initiator of the T4 Program (the killing of disabled Germans) and as his supreme medical authority.

With these authorities, he was involved in roles of maximum responsibility in the sadly famous "scientific" experiments on human beings, including the one in which he himself asked the ReichsFührer, Heinrich Himmler, for authorization to carry out inoculations of the epidemic hepatitis virus in human beings.

He and Albert Speer were not only close friends, but also acted to save each other's lives. In 1944, Brandt used his enormous powers as General Commissioner of Medical Services and his friends to save the already ill Speer from Himmler's assassination attempt. Subsequently, on April 16, 1945, Brandt was arrested by the Gestapo and sentenced to death, as he was accused of high treason against the Führer. But on May 2 he was released by order of Karl Dönitz. In fact, upon hearing the news of his friend and colleague's arrest, Speer had the urgency to mobilize various people to save his life.

Brandt entered into what many think of as an adopted son relationship with the Führer himself.

François Bayle, a French psychologist who interviewed him repeatedly at the time of the Nuremberg trials, described him thus:

«Rich, vigorous, but undisciplined, pugnacious and childish personality made vulnerable by his ambition and pride. Possessed of a vivid intelligence, but little logical clarity and much imagination, which can easily be influenced and led astray. His character could also be influenced, just as easily."

He was tried from 9 December 1946 to 19 August 1947 with twenty-two other doctors at the Nuremberg Palace of Justice

Karl Brandt was found guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity and membership of an organization declared criminal by the International Military Tribunal and sentenced to death by hanging.

The world's oldest known person, French nun Lucile Randon, has died aged 118, a spokesman told AFP on Tuesday.

Randon, known as Sister Andre, was born in southern France on February 11, 1904, when World War I was still a decade away.

She died in her sleep at her nursing home in Toulon, spokesman David Tavella said.

"There is great sadness but... it was her desire to join her beloved brother. For her, it's a liberation," Tavella, of the Sainte-Catherine-Laboure nursing home, told AFP.

The sister was long feted as the oldest European, before the death of Japan's Kane Tanaka aged 119 last year left her the longest-lived person on Earth.

Guinness World Records officially acknowledged her status in April 2022.

Randon was born in the year New York opened its first subway and when the Tour de France had only been staged once.

She grew up in a Protestant family as the only girl among three brothers, living in the southern town of Ales.

One of her fondest memories was the return of two of her brothers at the end of World War I, she told AFP in an interview on her 116th birthday.

"It was rare, in families, there were usually two dead rather than two alive. They both came back," she said.

She worked as a governess in Paris -- a period she once called the happiest time of her life -- for the children of wealthy families.

She converted to Catholicism and was baptised at the age of 26.

Driven by a desire to "go further", she joined the Daughters of Charity order of nuns at the relatively late age of 41.

Sister Andre was then assigned to a hospital in Vichy, where she worked for 31 years.

In later life she moved to Toulon along the Mediterranean coast.

Her days in the nursing home were punctuated by prayer, mealtimes and visits from residents and hospice workers.

She also received a steady flow of letters, almost all of which she responded to.

In 2021 she survived catching Covid-19, which infected 81 residents of her nursing home.

Randon told reporters last year that her work and caring for others had kept her spry.

"People say that work kills, for me work kept me alive, I kept working until I was 108," she told reporters in April last year in the tearoom of the home.

Although she was blind and relied on a wheelchair, she used to care for other elderly people much younger than herself.

"People should help each other and love each other instead of hating. If we shared all that, things would be a lot better," she said at the same meeting with journalists.

But the Catholic nun had rejected requests for locks of hair or DNA samples, saying that "only the good Lord knows" the secret of her longevity.

It is likely that France's new oldest person is now 112-year-old Marie-Rose Tessier, a woman from Vendee, longevity expert Laurent Toussaint told AFP.

But Toussaint warned that it was always possible an even older person had not yet made themselves known.

Jeanne Calment, who died in 1997 in Arles, southern France, at the age of 122 holds the record for the oldest confirmed age reached by any human. _________________

THE IDES OF MARCH. March 15, 44 BC. Julius Caesar is assassinated. March 15, 1937. H. P. Lovecraft dies. March 28, 1904. Whipple Van Buren Phillips - Lovecraft's grandfather, and the most important male figure in his life, dies. March 22 - April 2, 1925, Great Cthulhu rises and then sinks once more with his cosmic city into the Pacific Ocean. March 16, 1883, Sonia Haft Green Lovecraft Davis is born. March 3, 1924 Lovecraft and Sonia Green were married in NYC. The joining would fail miserably and their unofficial divorce would prove a massive embarrassment for HPL. March 14, 1869, Algernon Blackwood was born. Blackwood's tale, THE WILLOWS, would be called by Lovecraft, "The greatest supernatural story ever written in the English Language. March 1931, Lovecraft would finish writing, AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, perhaps the most ambitious story he ever created. 'Mts' would be serialized in the Feb. Mar. April, issues of ASTOUNDING STORIES. Lovecraft's story as it appeared there was so abridged and filled with typos that he did not consider it legitimately published. March 19, 1902. Florence Carol Weld - Lovecraft's step daughter with Sonia Greene is born. Sonia's grown daughter from a previous marriage (her birth-father had died) met Lovecraft briefly. Apparently neither cared for the other. March 26, 2019, Wilum 'Hop Frog' Pugmire, long time Lovecraft fan, author and beloved personality within the fantasy/ horror underground dies. The Ides of March. I include these dates and personalities merely as examples of coincidence. In his letters to August Derleth, Lovecraft lectured the younger writer on the mistake of giving coincidence any sort of significance other than pure chance. (Exhibit 282)

Dewey “Pigmeat” Markham (April 18, 1904 – December 13, 1981) was an entertainer, comedian, singer, dancer, and actor. His nickname came from a stage routine, in which he declared himself to be “Sweet Poppa Pigmeat”. He was sometimes credited in films as Pigmeat “Alamo” Markham, and he is known for what is considered some of the earliest hip hops, with his song “Here Comes the Judge”.

He was born in Durham, North Carolina. He began his career in traveling music and burlesque shows. He was a member of Bessie Smith’s Traveling Revue in the 1920s. He claimed he originated the Truckin’ dance. In the 1940s he started making film appearances. He recorded “Open the Door, Richard”.

Ηe was a familiar act at New York’s famed Apollo Theater where he wore blackface makeup and huge painted white lips, despite complaints the vaudeville tradition was degrading. The book Showtime at the Apollo suggests, “He probably played the Apollo more often than any other performer.” He began appearing on television, making multiple appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.

He had almost exclusively performed on the “Chitlin’ Circuit” of vaudeville, theatres, and nightclubs and appeared in several race films, including Burlesque in Harlem, which documented the Chitlin’ Circuit.

The phenomenal ripple effect of Davis’s version of “the judge” led to his opportunity to perform his signature Judge character himself as a Laugh-In regular.

Thanks to his Heyeah come da Judge routine, which originally was accompanied by music with a funky beat, he is regarded as a forerunner of rap. His song “Here Comes the Judge” peaked at #19 on the Billboard and other charts in 1968. He published an autobiography, Here Come the Judge!, in the wake of his Laugh-In success.

The song “Here Comes the Judge” was sampled by Big Audio Dynamite II during the middle of Rush (Big Audio Dynamite II song). #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Brooklyn Bank Building

3764 W. 25th St.

Cleveland, OH

The Brooklyn Bank Building, also known as Brooklyn Savings and Loan Association, is a historic bank structure located at 3764 W. 25th Street in Cleveland, Ohio. Designed by prominent Cleveland architect J. Milton Dyer during his most prolific, creative period as a home for the Brooklyn Savings and Loan Association, the building exhibits a mix of architectural styles, including Neoclassical and Commercial, typical of Dyer's eclectic work. It is a contributing property to the Archwood Avenue Historic District and to the Brooklyn Centre Historic District, and is listed on the NRHP independently as well.

The Brooklyn Savings and Loan Association was incorporated on May 25, 1888, in Brooklyn Village (now Brooklyn Centre) near Cleveland, Ohio. In early 1904, the bank commissioned local architect Charles E. Tousley to design a $40,000 mixed-use structure to be the bank's new headquarters. By April, Tousley had delivered plans for a four-story structure consisting of ground floor retail space and apartments on the upper three floors. Tousley's structure was priced at $50,000, and the bank declined to implement his plans and refused to pay him for his work. Tousley sued, and won his case in the Court of Common Pleas. The ruling was overturned by the 8th Ohio District Court of Appeals, and the appellate court's ruling affirmed by the Supreme Court of Ohio.

The bank then turned to noted local architect J. Milton Dyer. In August 1904, Dyer finished plans for a two-story mixed-use structure. These met the construction cap, and contracts were let. Construction was well under way by October, and it was completed by the end of the year. The bank occupied most of the ground floor, with additional space in the building filled by doctor's offices, lawyers, and realtors. The Brooklyn Savings and Loan building uses a diverse set of architectural styles. The structure is symmetrical and its elements tend to be regular and repetitive, which are elements of the Neoclassical style. There are deep segmental arches over the second-story windows are Late Victorian, however. The entablature seemingly supported by the piers as well as the brackets supporting the cornice are deliberately crude in order to give the building an individualized appearance.

The structure is important to understanding the body of work Dyer created during his most prolific and creative period. The Brooklyn Savings and Loan building was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on July 19, 1984. It was listed as a contributing property to the Archwood Avenue Historic District, which was added to the NRHP on March 19, 1987. It was listed as a contributing property to the Brooklyn Centre Historic District, which was added to the NRHP on March 4, 1999.

OCPL Releases Event Schedule for March, April

Wheeling Reads Ulysses (in 4 Months) - A Moral Book Club The Ohio County Public Library will form a book group to read and discuss what has been called "the greatest book in the English language"- "Ulysses" by James Joyce. The library will obtain copies of "Ulysses" for all who register. Ulysses is a challenging (and oft-challenged) book and a tall order for even the most advanced reader, so we will divide the readings into 5 parts. Meetings will occur on Feb. 29, March 28, April 25, and May 30 - all Thursdays at 6:30 PM. Participants will then have the opportunity to discuss the book on June 11 with Patrick Hastings, English professor, author of "The Guide to James Joyce's Ulysses," and curator of ulyssesguide.com, who will be at the Library for Wheeling's first-ever Bloomsday, a worldwide but Irish-centric celebration of the book and the genius of James Joyce. Ours will feature a virtual walking tour of Leopold Bloom's Dublin led by Mr. Hastings, dramatic readings, trivia, music, food, and more! Dress like it's 1904! To join the book group, message us (put "Ulysses" in the comment section), send an email to lunchwithbooksyahoo.com, or give us a call at 304-232-0244. Serious and committed inquiries only, please! Facebook Event Library Calendar March 5: Divorce in Civil War-Era Wheeling For Women’s History Month, Allison Fredette will discuss the new book she edited, Heartsick and Astonished: Divorce in Civil War-Era West Virginia, featuring 27 divorce cases from mid-nineteenth century America. More than dry legal documents, these cases provide a captivating window into marital life - and strife- during the Civil War era In Wheeling, courtrooms bore witness to men and women from various ethnic, racial, and class backgrounds who shared shockingly intimate details of their lives and relationships. In an era of uncertainty - when the country was torn in two when Wheeling became the capital of a new state, and when activists across the country began to push for women’s rights in the household and family - the divorce cases of ordinary couples reveal changing attitudes toward marriage, gender, and legal separation. Facebook Event Library Calendar March 12 at noon: Rust Belt Union Blues Lainey Newman and Theda Skocpol In the heyday of American labor, the influence of local unions extended far beyond the workplace. Unions were embedded in tight-knit communities. Today, unions play a much less significant role. In Rust Belt Union Blues, Lainey Newman and Theda Skocpol provide timely insight into the relationship between the decline of unions and the shift of working-class voters away from Democrats. It makes a compelling case that Democrats are unlikely to rebuild credibility in places like western Pennsylvania unless they find new ways to weave themselves into the daily lives of workers and their families. Lainey Newman is a J.D. candidate at Harvard Law School and a native of Pittsburgh. Theda Skocpol is the Victor S. Thomas Professor of Government and Sociology at Harvard University. Facebook Event Library Calendar March 19 at noon: St. Patrick's Day Debrief by County Mayo Irish Band St. Patrick’s Day will be in the rearview mirror, but we always want one more day of celebration to ease out of the merriment! An Irish debrief, if you will. And, with only 363 days left until the next St. Pat’s, County Mayo Irish Band will be here to help with their brand of lively, engaging performances of familiar Irish tunes. County Mayo has been entertaining for 30 years at festivals (like the Pittsburgh Irish Festival), pubs, concerts, conventions, schools, parties, and family events including Irish weddings and wakes. Facebook Event Library Calendar March 26 at noon: Classical Guitarist Peter Fletcher Peter Fletcher’s journey in classical guitar began at the age of seven. He became the youngest student to perform in a week-long Master Class conducted by maestro José Tomás, the teaching assistant of Andrés Segovia in Spain. Peter’s exceptional talent led to invitations for performances at esteemed cultural venues across the USA. His appearances at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall drew sold-out crowds and further established his reputation as a distinguished classical guitarist. Peter’s recorded works have garnered critical acclaim. He divides his time between his vintage home in Detroit and his residence in NYC. See peterfletcher.com.

It remains the third most lethal coal mine disaster in West Virginia's history. We will discuss how and why this tragedy happened and pay tribute to those who died. Facebook Event Library Calendar April 30 at noon: Memories of Fostoria Glass Moundsville’s Fostoria Glass was once the #1 hand-blown glass company in the US. People wanted Fostoria settings on their Sunday and holiday dinner tables. China cabinets showed off extensive Fostoria collections. Though strong enough to survive the Great Depression, changing tastes and foreign competition led to Fostoria’s closing. The workers who created these beautiful patterns and pieces of glassware were hard-working artists. Fostoria was a ‘family’ to them. These are their memories, gathered by Gary Rider and Roseanna Dakan Keller. Facebook Event Read the full article
