Martyr's Day (Panama)

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved." Victor Hugo


TODAY IN HISTORY:
First helicopter

The Concorde

  • 1923 Juan de la Cierva makes 1st autogiro (helicopter) flight in Spain.
  • 1951 Life After Tomorrow, 1st film to receive an "X" rating, premieres.
  • 1969 1st trial flight of Concorde.



FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
A new monument
I don't like to start the week with a negative tone, but I know I have to be in touch with reality. So read CNN's short article about what happened in Michoacan.
Also in Mexico, watch this BBC video about a controversial monument inaugurated by Calderon.
Moving away from Mexico, do you know what ADHD stands for? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It's also known as ADD or AD/HD. Listen to NPR discussing ADHD and diet.
