1
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:13.080
Well, hello, I am Jeff
and welcome to history. In fact,

2
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:21.480
it's about today, presented by Cool
Media. It was honest sweet Thursday,

3
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:32.079
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday ball.
I hope you are having a fabulous Thursday

4
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.719
and watching the basketball and hockey playoffs. Well, the Denver Nuggets in Colorado

5
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.600
Avalanche they've advanced the second round.
Now, if you're still your team is

6
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.079
still playing, I wish them the
best, unless they're playing the Aves and

7
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:47.640
the Nuggets. Now, today is
World Password Day. It is to kind

8
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.600
of encourage and make you aware of
the importance of a strong password for whatever

9
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.399
you need it for. You know, you don't just use your cat's name

10
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.679
every time. Now, honestly,
passwords are starting to piss me off.

11
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.679
For years and years we were told
never to down your password, and now

12
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.359
the computers are asking us every time
we create a new one if they can

13
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:07.079
store it for us. Then when
you want them to use it, then

14
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.280
you have to come up with another
password so the computer can actually fill in

15
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.840
your first password. That's as stupid
as when they try and you have to

16
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.760
convince the computer that you're not a
robot. Yes, passwords are important,

17
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.599
but all those technology is now boarding
on stupid. Okay, that's my rant

18
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.200
for the week. Let's go ahead
and celebrate May second a little more serene.

19
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:34.400
I'm going to whisper I love my
sister. You will discover I love

20
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:48.280
my brother. And it is National
Brother and Sister Day. Now we've had

21
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.120
Brother's Day, we've had Sister's Day, we've been had siblings Day. Today

22
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.079
was created by a woman who lost
her brother. Then she realized that she

23
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.400
never really let him know how much
he meant to her. So today is

24
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:02.120
about brothers and sisters connecting, reconnecting, just appreciating each other so they don't

25
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:07.239
have regrets like she did. Oh
that's cool, but their relationships are all

26
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.039
unique. So you know how to
celebrate best and having the best time with

27
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.159
your brother or sister. She's going
on in entertainment on May second, let's

28
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.000
go back to your two thousand and
four number one album was Confessions by Usher

29
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:43.840
Usher Little John Lutlecrafts. They had
the number one song with Yeah. Keith

30
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.840
Thurman had the number one country song
with You'll think of Me. Take your

31
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.240
records, take your feet, take
your end, take your space, and

32
00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:01.039
take your reasons, but you think
me take your cats. Wells we have

33
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:08.120
nothing left too well. In fact
of Phil Holston. Would you think then?

34
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.800
The number one book was Glorious,
appearing by Tim Lahay and Jerry B.

35
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.439
Jenkins. The top movie was Me
and Girls, A new girl in

36
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.639
Skull she falls for the ex boyfriend
and one of the most popular girls in

37
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.719
the school, stars Lindsay Lohan,
Jonathan Bennett, and Rachel McAdams. All

38
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.919
right, let's see it happened in
the world on May the second, seventeen

39
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.400
eighty, one year before he discovered
Uranus. Astronomer William Herschel he discovered the

40
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.879
first binary star ursa Mayjoris. In
eighteen sixty three, in the Civil War,

41
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.759
Confederate general Stonewall Jackson was shot by
his own men. No, no,

42
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.199
not on purpose, say, During
the Battle of Chancellorville in Virginia.

43
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.080
Jackson and his staff were switching positions
when they were mistaken by Northern soldiers.

44
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.080
He has men opened up on him. Jackson. He died eight days later.

45
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:59.120
Eighteen seventy eight. Minneapolis, Minnesota. They were the leading processor of

46
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.960
flower and the entire world. Their
largest mill was the Washburn Mill. At

47
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.879
seven pm, it exploded, killed
eighteen people. Debris landed eight blocks away.

48
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.400
Destroyed five mills that were nearby.
They did discover that you need ventilation

49
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.279
to keep grain dust from building up. They also discovered that flour dust is

50
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:20.360
more explosive than gunpowder and thirty five
times more combustible than cold dust. Now,

51
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.759
if you go to Minneapolis, you
can actually see the ruins. They

52
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.759
made it a historical landmark. Eighteen
eighty five, the magazine gud Housekeeping went

53
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.040
on sale for the first time.
It was just published, still being published

54
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.800
today. In the latest edition you
can read about legos, pillows, hands

55
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.079
free faucets, weighted blankets, beach
styles, and windows sheets. World War

56
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:44.079
Two, in nineteen forty five,
the Battle of Berlin ended German soldiers.

57
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.720
They surrendered to the Soviet army that
was surrounding the city. Now, when

58
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.800
word got out about it over in
Italy and Austria, one million German soldiers

59
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.839
surrendered to the Western Allies. Now
the many believe that this is just make

60
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.199
believe. They believe it's a government
cover up to kind of deny the it

61
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.639
ever happened. Nineteen ninety eight,
the Battle of Hogwarts ended with the right

62
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:10.920
I can't even say that straight in
the book. Yeah, Hogwarts ended and

63
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.439
twenty eleven Navy seals. They killed
Osama bin Laden in the Bad Bad Pakistan.

64
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.560
Twenty nineteen in Baltimore, Maryland,
for the first time a drone delivered

65
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.079
a kidney for a transplant surgery.
I think they'd be able to do bleats

66
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:29.439
by that. By now, got
coat coat, coat coat, goat shage.

67

00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.920

69
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:40.480
we don't give up because that's birthday. All right, let's check out.

70
00:05:40.600 --> 00:06:04.639
U's born on me the second try
together on the country. The most famous

71
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.040
pilot probably in history, Manfred von
Richtovin, better known as the Red Baron.

72
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.240
He was born in nobility. He
was actually a baron. He was

73
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.240
born in what today is roe Clap, Poland, in eighteen ninety two World

74
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.360
War One. He actually started out
as a German cavalry officer, but I

75
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.279
bought him so he transferred over to
be a pilot. Now, to be

76
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.759
an ACE pilot you have to shoot
down five enemy planes. He shot down

77
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.160
eighty. He shot down twenty two
planes in one month. Actually, for

78
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.800
one time he shot down four and
one day now when the when the baron

79
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.399
was shot down, Yeah, the
credit went to a Canadian pilot, but

80
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:39.360
he was actually shot down by Australian
troops that were on the ground firing up

81
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.439
at him. That was over in
France. He was only twenty five years

82
00:06:42.439 --> 00:07:00.360
old. Shoe way. This would
be release me and let me love again.

83
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.240
He was born Arnold Dorsey in my
Address, India in nineteen thirty six.

84
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.680
He's eighty eight years old today now. His parents moved to England when

85
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.560
he was ten, so that's where
he grew up. Nineteen sixty five.

86
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.279
Dorsey was a struggling singer when someone
suggested, maybe just try and change in

87
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.279
your name, so he did.
He changed it to the German composer named

88
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:25.439
Ingolbert Humperdinck and Ingolbert Humperdinck. His
career took off big time. It swort.

singers in the world in the late

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.240

97
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:16.920

But when she was in college she became

100
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:26.759

Leslie died in twenty fifteen at sixty eight
