In 1964, Zambia won its freedom from England and became an independent nation. Those who fought in that freedom struggle are honored each year on Heroes Day. The somber day is a public holiday and all Zambians take the day off work. In 1974, then-president Dr. Kenneth Kaunda presented a gift to the nation to honor its heroes: a statue of a man with no shirt or shoes and defiantly raising a chained hand into the air. Erected in the capital city of Lusaka, the one-and-a-half-ton bronze statue has become the rallying point for any holiday, march, or remembrance in which freedom plays a role.

Today’s Birthday: Ignaz Philipp Semmelweiss (1818)
Semmelweiss was a Hungarian physician who pioneered the use of antiseptics in obstetrical clinics. While working at a Vienna hospital, he became convinced that physicians were transmitting puerperal fever, also called childbed fever, to patients and began insisting that doctors thoroughly cleanse their hands. Though this greatly reduced the mortality rate from infection in childbirth, he was widely ridiculed by his colleagues and left Vienna. When was the value of his work finally recognized?

The human nervous system is composed of some 200 billion cells called neurons, about half of which are found in the brain. Neurogenesis, the process through which neurons are formed, is most active during prenatal development. Though early neuroanatomists believed that the adult nervous system is fixed and incapable of regeneration, neurogenesis actually continues throughout life. Studies have shown that lack of sleep reduces neurogenesis and exercise increases it. How is it affected by stress? More…: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfd.mobile.TfdSearch

The Gioco del Ponte, or “Battle for the Bridge,” in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy, goes back to the 13th century. Following a medieval procession, two teams in full medieval costume take part in a traditional competition which involves a reversal of the usual tug-of-war: about 20 or 30 men from each team line up behind a mechanism on rails and push. The first team to make a “goal” on the opposing side wins; the winner is determined by the best of six matches, or a draw match if both teams win three.

Songwriters: LENNON JOHN WINSTON / MCCARTNEY PAUL JAMES
Following its inclusion onRubber Soul, the song was released as a single in some European countries and in New Zealand, and on an EP in France, in early 1966. It was a number 1 hit for the Beatles in Belgium, France, Norway, the Netherlands and New Zealand, while concurrent recordings of the song byDavid and Jonathanandthe Overlanderswere similarly successful in Canada and Britain, respectively. “Michelle” won theGrammy AwardforSong of the Yearin1967and has since become one of the most often recorded of all Beatles songs.
The instrumental music of “Michelle” originated separately from the lyrical concept. According to McCartney:
“Michelle” was a tune that I’d written inChet Atkins‘ finger-picking style. There is a song he did called “Trambone” with a repetitive top line, and he played a bass line while playing a melody. This was an innovation for us; even though classical guitarists had played it, no rock’n’roll guitarists had played it. The first person we knew to use finger-picking style was Chet Atkins … I never learned it. But based on Atkins’ “Trambone”, I wanted to write something with a melody and a bass line in it, so I did. I just had it as an instrumental in C.[4]
The words and style of “Michelle” have their origins in the popularity of ParisianLeft Bankculture during McCartney’sLiverpooldays. In his description, “it was at the time of people likeJuliette Greco, theFrench bohemianthing.”[5]McCartney had gone to a party of art students where a student with a goatee and a striped T-shirt was singing a French song. He soon wrote a farcical imitation to entertain his friends that involved French-sounding groaning instead of real words. The song remained a party piece until 1965, when John Lennon suggested he rework it into a proper song for inclusion onRubber Soul.[2]
McCartney asked Jan Vaughan, a French teacher and the wife of his old friendIvan Vaughan, to come up with a French name and a phrase that rhymed with it. McCartney said: “It was because I’d always thought that the song sounded French that I stuck with it. I can’t speak French properly so that’s why I needed help in sorting out the actual words.”[2]
Vaughan came up with “Michelle, ma belle”, and a few days later McCartney asked for a translation of “these are words that go together well” –sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble.[2]When McCartney played the song for Lennon, Lennon suggested the “I love you” bridge. Lennon was inspired by a song he heard the previous evening,Nina Simone‘s version of “I Put a Spell on You“, which used the same phrase but with the emphasis on the last word, “I loveyou“.[2][3]
Each version of this song has a different length. The UK mono mix is 2:33 whereas the stereo version extends to 2:40 and the US mono is 2:43.[6]The version available inThe Beatles: Rock Bandhas a running time of 2:50.
The song was initially composed in C, but was played in F onRubber Soul(with a capo on the fifth fret). The verse opens with an F major chord (“Michelle” – melody note C) then the second chord (on “ma belle” – melody note D♭) is a B♭7♯9(on the original demo in C, the second chord is a F7♯9). McCartney called this second chord a “great ham-fisted jazz chord” that was taught to them by Jim Gretty who worked at Hessey’s music shop in Whitechapel, central Liverpool and whichGeorge Harrisonuses (as a G♭7♯9) (seeDominant seventh sharp ninth chord) as the penultimate chord of his solo on “Till There Was You“.[7]After the E♭6(of “these are words”) there follows an ascent involving different inversions of the D dim chord. These progress from A♭dim on “go” – melody note F, bass note D; to Bdim (C♭dim) on “to” – melody note A♭, bass note D; to Ddim on “ge …” – melody note B (C♭) bass note B; to Bdim on … ‘ther …” – melody note A♭bass note B, till the dominant (V) chord (C major) is reached on “well” – melody note G bass note C.[8]
George Martin, the Beatles’ producer, recalled that he composed the melody of the guitar solo,[9]which is heard midway through the song and again during the fadeout.[10]He showed Harrison the notes during the recording session[11]and then accompanied the guitarist (on piano, out of microphone range) when the solos were overdubbed.[9]In terms of its complementary role to the main melody, musicologistWalter Everettlikens this guitar part to two musical passages that Martin had arranged for singerCilla Blackthe previous year: a bassoon–English horn combination on “Anyone Who Had a Heart” and the baritone electric guitar on “You’re My World“.[11]
EMI’sParlophonelabel releasedRubber Soulon 3 December 1965 in Britain,[12]with “Michelle” sequenced as the final track on side one of the LP.[13]The album was widely viewed as marking a significant progression within the Beatles’ work and in the scope of pop music generally.[14]Recalling the album’s release forMojomagazine in 2002,Richard Williamssaid “Michelle” represented “the biggest shock of all” to a contemporary pop audience, as McCartney conveyed “all his nostalgia for a safe childhood in the 1950s, itself a decade suffused with nostalgia for the inter-war security of the ’20s and ’30s, the era to which this song specifically refers.”[15]
In a contemporary review for theNME, Allen Evans described “Michelle” as a “memorable track” with a “bluesy French sound” in which McCartney’s vocal was supported by “[the] others using voices as instruments”.[16][17]Record Mirror‘s reviewer admired the lyrics and said that the song was “just remotely, faintly, slightly similar to ‘Yesterday’ in the general approach” and “another stand-out performance”.[18]Jazz critic and broadcasterSteve Raceadmitted to being “astonished” by the album and added: “When I heard ‘Michelle’ I couldn’t believe my ears. The second chord is an A-chord, while the note in the melody above is A-flat. This is an unforgivable clash, something no one brought up knowing older music could ever have done. It is entirely unique, a stroke of genius … I suppose it was sheer musical ignorance that allowed John and Paul to do it, but it took incredible daring.”[19]By contrast,Bob Dylan, whose work was especially influential on Lennon and Harrison’s songwriting onRubber Soul, was dismissive of McCartney’s ballad style. In March 1966, Dylan said: “A song like ‘Yesterday’ or ‘Michelle’ … it’s such a cop-out, man … if you go to the Library of Congress you can find a lot better than that. There are millions of songs like ‘Yesterday’ and ‘Michelle’ written inTin Pan Alley.”[20]
Although no single fromRubber Soulwas issued in Britain or America, “Michelle” was the most popularRubber Soultrack on US radio.[21][nb 1]The song was released as a commercial single in several other countries. In May 1966,Billboard‘s Hits of the World listed it at number 1 in Argentina, Denmark, Italy, New Zealand and Norway.[23]As the lead track on an EP release, it was number 1 in France, which continued to resist the single format in favour of extended-plays.[24]At the 1967Ivor Novello Awards, “Michelle” won in the category of “the Most Performed Work” of 1966, ahead of “Yesterday”.[25]“Michelle” won theGrammy Award for Song of the Yearin 1967,[26]against competition from “Born Free“, “The Impossible Dream“, “Somewhere My Love” and “Strangers in the Night“.[20]In 1999,BMInamed “Michelle” as the 42nd most performed song of the 20th century.[27]
“Michelle” was the most successful track fromRubber Soulfor other recording artists.[28]The song was a UK hit in 1966 forthe Overlanders,[29]whose version topped theRecord Retailerchart. It also reached number 2 in Australia. Signed toPye Records, the Overlanders issued their recording after the Beatles had declined to release it as a single themselves in the United Kingdom and the United States. According to authorSteve Turner, Pye and the Overlanders were given the Beatles’ blessing because the record label had recently acquiesced toBrian Epstein‘s request that they withdraw a single byAlfred Lennon(Lennon’s estranged father).[30]“Michelle” was also covered byDavid and Jonathan, whose version was produced by Martin.[31]This recording went to number 1 in Canada[32]and was a top 20 hit in Britain and the US.[33]American singerBilly Vaughnwas another artist who recorded the song soon after its release. In his comments on the Lennon–McCartney composition, Steve Race remarked that Vaughn’s arranger had altered the second chord to incorporate an A♭note, thereby “taking all the sting out” of the unorthodox change. Race said this was indicative of how a formally trained arranger “was so attended to the conventional way of thinking he didn’t even hear what the boys had done”.[19]

Rousseau was a Swiss-French philosopher and writer who had a lasting impact on politics, literature, and education. In particular, he strongly influenced the theories of the French Revolution and the romantics. Many of his ideas stemmed from his belief in the natural goodness of man, who he felt had been warped by society. His Confessions, published posthumously in 1782, was a frank account of his life and was a founding work of autobiography. Why was he forced to flee France in 1762?

The ruler of the solar plexus chakra is the sun. It is often associated with absorbingprana(life force) from the sun and food. It is also linked to digestion, the digestive fire (agniin Ayurveda) and is related to how we process (digest) life events and our emotions. It is also related to the psyche and to our gut feelings, our intuition.
Manipurais sometimes called the ‘cosmic door’ as this chakra is of great help on our spiritual development journey.
The animal totem of this chakra is the ram. This male sheep is the symbol of conquest, personal power and new beginnings. The ram leaps and hops effortlessly in a difficult terrain where no one else dares going. Very proud when he succeeds, the ram holds his horns majestically, like a crown.

On June 27, 1997, a treaty was signed between Islamic rebels and the Russian-backed Tajikistan government, bringing to an end a five-year-long civil war. The day is remembered as the Day of National Unity. On the Day of National Unity in 2007, the Tajik parliament passed a law granting amnesty to all rebels who had fought against the government, provided they had not committed murder, rape, human or drug trafficking, or terrorism. Some 2,000 prison inmates were released under the new law. The 2007 commemoration also marked the opening of 11 new buildings in the city of Dushanbe.
