Festa della Republica (Italy)

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character." Albert Einstein


TODAY IN HISTORY:
Guglielmo Marconi
Charles Rolls

  • 1896 Guglielmo Marconi applies for a patent for his newest invention: the radio.
  • 1910 Charles Rolls, co-founder of Rolls-Royce Limited, becomes the first man to make a non-stop double crossing of the English Channel by plane.
  • 1997 In Denver, Colorado, Timothy McVeigh is convicted on 15 accounts of murder and conspiracy in the 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Esperanza Spaulding
How is Facebook being used by the police? Watch the ABC News report. Who's the first lady of jazz? Watch the BBC interview. Are sugary drinks a little too sugary? Watch the CNN report. How come people love crispy, crunchy food? Listen to the NPR interview. Is our galaxy heading for a cosmic clash? Watch the Reuters report. What's the secret to a happy marriage? Read the Time article. What's the link between laughter and seizures? Watch the ABC News report via Yahoo.

65 years of marriage? Wow!!! It's too much time.
Sincerely I never thought that the secret of the wedded bliss was the wardrobe.
Twenty years ago, my dad gave me a small book, the name is something like "Advices for the marriage and the kids", and I read that "There are two things in order to have the wedded bliss: confidence and comunications, both are essentials". Obviously, I agree.
