Jesse Owens died #OnThisDay in 1980.

For Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games were expected to be a German showcase and a statement for Aryan supremacy.

After Owens won the 100-meter event, a furious Hitler stormed out of the stadium.
Jesse Owens captured four gold medals (the 100 meter, the long jump, the 200 meter and the 400-meter relay) and broke two Olympic records.

Owens’ world record for the broad jump would last 25 years until being broken by Olympian Irvin Roberson in 1960.
"When I came back to my native country, after all the stories about Hitler, I couldn't ride in the front of the bus,"

"I had to go to the back door. I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, but I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the president, either."

Frida Kahlo painting in bed, 1950s.

'After her accident, she abandoned the study of medicine and began to paint. Self-portraits were a dominant motif then.'

Kahlo once said, “I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best.”
Here's the actual painting.
Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyocoan, Mexico City.

Trump's tweets about the Pensacola shooting attracted a greater share of Arabic replies than usual. We gathered the first 15999 replies, 538 of which (3.4%) are in Arabic. As a baseline, 0.1% of all replies to Trump's account in the last 72 hours are in Arabic.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@ZellaQuixote Those 538 Arabic replies were tweeted by 451 accounts, and the majority are recent creations; 315 of 451 (69.8%) were made in 2015. The spikes in the creation dates potentially indicate a single entity creating accounts in batches. . .
@ZellaQuixote Looking closer, we found 160 accounts created in eight batches in 2019 with few tweets, few or no likes, and similar naming conventions. The first batch consists of 15 accounts created in 15 minutes on May 23rd, 2019; the largest contains 82 accounts and was minted July 5th/6th.

I staffed on the next season of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee." My packet was descriptions of cars. Room is in the Hamptons.
Just got to the room. There is a framed photo of a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera on the wall and multiple Lavazza espresso machines.
Day 2 in the room. Met the other writers. They're all luxury-car mechanics plus one writing team who worked on "Suddenly Susan."

1890 was a year of turmoil, for no one knew if lime, the fruit, was green or yellow. Some called it yellow-green, and some lemon-lime.

Someone, whose name is forgotten, suggested to ask Nehru, not even a year old then.

"Lime green," said Nehru, and hence was born a new color.
In 1891, Tesla was feeling depressed for his experiments on transmitting electricity without wires were not succeeding.

In a spark of inspiration, he wrote a letter to Nehru, who gave him some suggestions.

While Tesla named it the "Nehru coil", we now call it the "Tesla coil".
In 1892, Dmitri Ivanovsky was lost amidst the tobacco plantations, trying to find what was infecting them.

In what was one of the first Indo-Russian ventures, he turned to baby Nehru, already an expert in all fields of Science. Ivanovsky, with Nehru's help, discovered viruses.

Xmas is associated with Fir trees and snow....

Christ was born in Bethlehem which is in a desert devoid of fir trees, snow and reindeers
This is how Santa Claus (St Nicholas) in portrayed in Jerusalem in the oldest of xtian traditions. (12th century)

The current plump happy version wearing an all red suit going "ho ho ho" was sold to us by Coca Cola's advertising campaign in early 1930s.
In 1930s Coca Cola's advertisement campaign showed Santa Claus stopping by for a drink. That image of cuddly Santa has stuck and monetized by everyone from the church to the card makers .

La Coca-Cola surgió en 1886 en Atlanta (EE.UU.) como un jarabe dulce para diluir en agua con gas. Se vendía a 5 centavos el vaso en farmacias (drugstores) o fuentes de soda (soda fountains).
Desde su origen Coca-Cola encontró en los deportes más populares —como el béisbol— un ámbito adecuado para promocionar su bebida (que sólo se vendía por vaso).
En 1899 Coca-Cola vendió los derechos para que otras empresas vendieran la bebida en botellas listas para consumir. Fue un éxito inmediato en todos los EE.UU.
