ON THIS DAY: In 48 BC Julius Caesar barely avoided a catastrophic defeat by Pompey in Macedonia at the Battle of Dyrrhachium. In1499 the Portuguese explorer Nicolau Coelho returned to Lisbon after discovering the sea route to India as a companion of Vasco da Gama. In 1913 the temperature in Death Valley, California, hit 134 °F (57 °C), the highest temperature ever to be recorded on Earth. In 1925 Meher Baba began his silence of 44 years; his followers observe Silence Day on this date in commemoration. Also in 1925, in Dayton Tennessee, the so-called "Monkey Trial" of John T Scopes, a young high school science teacher accused of teaching evolution in violation of the Butler Act, began. In 1938 Howard Hughes set a new record by completing a 91-hour airplane flight around the world. In 1962 Telstar, the world's first communications satellite, was launched into orbit. In 1964 the album "A Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles was released. In1985 Coca-Cola Co., bowing to pressure from irate customers after the introduction of New Coke, said it would resume selling its old formula. In 1997 in London, scientists reported the findings of the DNA analysis of a Neanderthal skeleton which supports the "out of Africa theory" of human evolution, placing an "African Eve" at 100,000 to 200,000 years ago.
Quote of the day:
"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming."
~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe [German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theatre director, critic, and amateur artist]
