Mercedes-Benz W 154 Silver Arrow: Historic Triple Victory


On May 15, 1938, at the Tripoli Grand Prix, the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows rode all the way to a triple victory at the first major race of the season.

Hermann Lang won the GP after logging 2:33:17.14 over 40 laps driving in the new car, but he was followed across the finish line by teammates Manfred von Brauchitsch and Rudolf Caracciola, who would be subsequently named European Champion.

The W 154 was brought about by changes to the Grand Prix vehicle specifications. It was designed by head engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut, and had a V12 engine capable of getting the car 468 horsepower. The vehicle’s body showcased a unique aerodynamic design, prompting racing managerAlfred Neubauer to say that the W 154 “looked more like a silver ray than a silver arrow,” though it was the latter nickname that stuck.

The Silver Arrow actually debuted at the Pau Grand Prix earlier that year, but it was more of a preseason test, as Tripoli was the actual kickoff to the season. The team also achieved triple victories at the French GP in July and the Swiss Grand Prix in August. Caracciola secured his title by finishing third in Italy in September.

Pada hari ini 15.5.1971 Majlis Perundingan Belia Negara telah ditubuhkan dan dirasmikan serentak oleh Perdana Menteri Tun Abdul Razak di Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka.  Penubuhan ini adalah berikutan dari tuntutan Majlis Belia Malaysia yang meminta agar para belia diberi pengiktirafan oleh Kerajaan sebagai salah satu golongan yang berhak dalam proses menentukan dasar pemerintahan. Majlis Perundingan Belia Negara mempunyai seramai 28 orang ahli, 13 daripadanya dilantik oleh kerajaan dan 15 dilantik oleh Majlis Belia Malaysia. Mereka adalah terdiri dari wakil-wakil jabatan kerajaan yang terlibat secara langsung dengan kegiatan belia dan juga dari pertubuhan-pertubuhan belia yang aktif dari seluruh Malaysia. Majlis Perundingan Belia Negara adalah merupakan parlimen belia bagi membincangkan segala aspek kegiatan belia, perancangan serta perkembangannya. Ia adalah sebuah Majlis yang berperlembagaan berasaskan akta parlimen dan bertanggungjawab untuk menyatukan seluruh kegiatan belia dan membantu mengurangkan jurang generasi menerusi aktiviti-aktiviti yang dijalankan. Majlis Perundingan Belia Negara juga akan membantu melaksanakan matlamat Kerajaan bagi membentuk satu masyarakat tanpa mengira asal keturunan dan mengeratkan perpaduan.  Menerusi Majlis Perundingan Belia Negara ini sebarang isu, bantahan, teguran dan rancangan yang ditujukan kepada kerajaan dikemukakan dengan cara berdiplomasi. Rancangan-rancangan belia dikaji dan ditapis oleh majlis ini supaya kegiatan-kegitan yang benar-benar aktif, sihat dan dinamik, berpotensi dan berperanan besar ke arah membentuk corak kehidupan yang maju dapat dilaksanakan. Mesyuarat yang pertama Majlis Perundingan Belia Negara telah diadakan sebaik-baik sahaja ia dirasmikan oleh Perdana Menteri dan dipengerusikan oleh Menteri Kebudayaan Belia dan Sukan, Dato' Hamzah Abu Samah. Dato' Hamzah berkata bahawa belia bertanggungjawab menentukan corak pimpinannya sendiri dan turut terlibat dalam memajukan Dasar Ekonomi Baru.  Mereka perlu berfikiran sihat, bersikap progresif dan berdisiplin. Majlis Perundingan Belia Negara ini telah diletakkan di bawah penguatkuasaan Kementerian Kebudayaan, Belia dan Sukan sesuai dengan pergerakan dan penglibatan belia dengan pihak kerajaan. Dengan tertubuhnya Majlis Perundingan Belia Negara pada hari ini dalam tahun 1971, golongan belia telah mendapat satu pengiktirafan sebagai satu golongan anggota masyarakat yang sama-sama memainkan peranan penting dalam proses menentukan tampuk pemerintahan dan pembangunan negara.

PERUTUSAN SEMPENA HARI NAKBAH PALESTIN 2013

15 Mei ini genaplah Ulang tahun an-Nakbah (the great catastrophe) yang menandakan berdirinya entiti haram Israel pada tahun 1948.

Setelah 65 tahun, Israel berada di ambang kejatuhannya. Bukan sahaja rakyat Palestin mencipta kemenangan demi kemenangan. Bahkan pergolakan geopolitik di timur tengah (Arab Spring) dan kebangkitan masyarakat sipil (madaniy) di seluruh dunia meletakkan Israel dalam keadaan yang sangat terdesak. Di saat genting inilah jentera-jentera propaganda Zionis Kristian dengan segala aparatnya cuba untuk mengalih atau memberikan persepsi bahawa apa juga perubahan politik yang berlaku di peringkat global, serantau bahkan tempatan maka di sana ada tangan-tangan ghaib yang memandu dan mencorakkannya. Mereka amat bimbang kerana bukan sahaja Israel berada dihujung nyawa, bahkan kelestarian hegemoni politik US itu sendiri terancam. Mereka hendak wujudkan satu senario bahawa tumbangnya Regim Bashar Assad hanya akan menguatkan Israel. Mereka wujudkan satu persepsi bahawa kerajaan Mesir pasca Mubarak yang ditunjangi oleh Ikhwan Muslimin sebenarnya adalah proxy yang didalangi oleh US. Di saat minda umat Islam dimomokkan oleh senario kacau bilau inilah kita di jengah oleh 14 Mei, tarikh di mana bendera entiti Israel Star of David berkibar di bumi Palestin dan keesokkan harinya pada 15 Mei, negara haram Israel diistiharkan dengan rasminya pada tahun 1948.

Ketika berdepan dengan perang saraf ini, Aqsa Syarif mengajak rakyat Malaysia untuk memperingati ulang tahun Nakbah dengan harapan keadilan dan kasih sayang akan menyelubungi dunia kerana pembebasan Palestin sudah dekat waktunya insyaAllah.

May 15, 1941:First Allied jet flies


On May 15, 1941, the jet-propelled Gloster-Whittle E 28/39 aircraft flies successfully over Cranwell, England, in the first test of an Allied aircraft using jet propulsion. The aircraft's turbojet engine, which produced a powerful thrust of hot air, was devised by Frank Whittle, an English aviation engineer and pilot generally regarded as the father of the jet engine.

Whittle, born in Coventry in 1907, was the son of a mechanic. At the age of 16, he joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) as an aircraft apprentice at Cranwell and in 1926 passed a medical exam to become a pilot and joined the RAF College. He won a reputation as a daredevil flier and in 1928 wrote a senior thesis entitled Future Developments in Aircraft Design, which discussed the possibilities of rocket propulsion.

From the first Wright brothers flight in 1903 to the first jet flight in 1939, most airplanes were propeller driven. In 1910, the French inventor Henri Coanda built a jet-propelled bi-plane, but it crashed on its maiden flight and never flew again. Coanda's aircraft attracted little notice, and engineers stuck with propeller technology; even though they realized early on that propellers would never overcome certain inherent limitations, especially in regard to speed.

After graduating from the RAF college, Whittle was posted to a fighter squadron, and in his spare time he worked out the essentials of the modern turbojet engine. A flying instructor, impressed with his propulsion ideas, introduced him to the Air Ministry and a private turbine engineering firm, but both ridiculed Whittle's ideas as impractical. In 1930, he patented his jet engine concept and in 1936 formed the company Power Jets Ltd. to build and test his invention. In 1937, he tested his first jet engine on the ground. He still received only limited funding and support, and on August 27, 1939, the German Heinkel He 178, designed by Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain, made the first jet flight in history. The German prototype jet was developed independently of Whittle's efforts.

One week after the flight of the He 178, World War II broke out in Europe, and Whittle's project got a further lease of life. The Air Ministry commissioned a new jet engine from Power Jets and asked the Gloster Aircraft Company to build an experimental aircraft to accommodate it, specified as E 28/39. On May 15, 1941, the jet-propelled Gloster-Whittle E 28/39 flew, beating out a jet prototype being developed by the same British turbine company that earlier balked at his ideas. In its initial tests, Whittle's aircraft--flown by the test pilot Gerry Sayer--achieved a top speed of 370 mph at 25,000 feet, faster than the Spitfire or any other conventional propeller-driven machine.

As the Gloster Aircraft Company worked on an operational turbojet aircraft for combat, Whittle aided the Americans in their successful development of a jet prototype. With Whittle's blessing, the British government took over Power Jets Ltd. in 1944. By this time, Britain's Gloster Meteor jet aircraft were in service with the RAF, going up against Germany's jet-powered Messerschmitt Me 262s in the skies over Europe.

Whittle retired from the RAF in 1948 with the rank of air commodore. That year, he was awarded 100,000 pounds by the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors and was knighted. His book Jet: The Story of a Pioneer was published in 1953. In 1977, he became a research professor at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis,Maryland. He died in Columbia, Maryland, in 1996.

May 15, 1963:
The flight of Faith 7



On May 15, 1963, Gordon Cooper is launched into space aboard Faith 7 on the longest American space mission to that date. Faith 7 was the capstone of Project Mercury, the NASA program that put the first American into space in 1961 and the first astronaut into orbit in 1962. Cooper completed 22 orbits of the earth and spent 34 hours in space. He was the first American astronaut to spend more than a day in space. On the afternoon of May 16, Faith 7 landed safely in the Pacific Ocean, four miles from the recovery ship Kearsarge.

Cooper was honored by parades in Hawaii and Washington, D.C., where he addressed a joint session of Congress, and in New York City, where he was greeted by a massive ticker-tape crowd. Later Shawnee, Oklahoma--Cooper's hometown--celebrated the return of the sixth Mercury astronaut from space.

May 15, 1756:
The Seven Years War begins



The Seven Years War officially begins when England declares war on France on 15 May 1756. It was a worldwide series of conflicts fought from 1756 to 1763 for the control of Germany and for supremacy in colonial North America and India, and involved most of the major powers of Europe. The North American segment of the conflict, known as the French and Indian War, was fought between Great Britain and its American colonies against the French and their Algonquian allies. The Indian phase, known as the Third Carnatic War, established British domination in India.


The Seven Years War ended with the signing of the treaties of Hubertusburg and Paris in February 1763. In the Treaty of Paris, France lost all claims to Canada and gave Louisiana to Spain, while Britain received Spanish Florida, Upper Canada, and various French holdings overseas. The treaty ensured the colonial and maritime supremacy of Britain and strengthened the 13 American colonies by removing their European rivals to the north and the south. Fifteen years later, French bitterness over the loss of most of their colonial empire contributed to their intervention in the American Revolution on the side of the Patriots.

May 15, 1896        Tornado kills 78 in Texas



The May 1896 tornado outbreak sequence was a series of violent and deadly tornado outbreaks that struck much of the Central and Southern United States from May 15 to May 28, 1896. It is considered one of the worst tornado outbreak sequences on record. There were four particularly notable tornado outbreaks during the two-week period. It produced three F5 tornadoes as well as the third deadliest tornado ever in United States history. A total of 484 people were killed during the entire outbreak sequence by at least 38 different tornadoes which struck Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kentucky and Michigan.

Peristiwa Nakbah (Perang Arab-Israel)



Tanggal 15 Mei 1948 merupakan tarikh yang amat penting untuk disingkap oleh semua umat Islam di seluruh dunia. Tarikh penting tersebut adalah detik hitam bagi penduduk asal bumi Palestin, orang Arab dan dunia Islam secara keseluruhannya.

Pada tarikh tersebut, penubuhan negara haram Israel di atas bumi Palestin telah diisyhtiharkan secara rasminya. Peristiwa tersebut turut dikenali sebagai “nakbah”. Nakbah bermaksud malapetaka atau bencana besar.

Dalam peristiwa nakbah, Yahudi Zionis telah bertindak kejam dengan mengusir lebih daripada 60 peratus rakyat Palestin (lebih kurang 800 ribu orang daripada sejumlah 1.39 juta) ke luar negara, manakala 30 ribu lagi diusir ke daerah-daerah yang ditakluki mereka.

Daripada jumlah 580 perkampungan rakyat Palestin yang wujud sebelum perang 1948, rejim Zionis telah menghancurkan 478 buah kampung serta terlibat dalam lebih 34 jenayah pembunuhan beramai-ramai rakyat Palestin.

Rejim Zionis telah bertindak di luar batas kemanusiaan. Nyawa penduduk Palestin bagaikan tiada nilai di mata mereka. Pelbagai peristiwa pembunuhan beramai-ramai telah berlaku sepanjang peristiwa Nakbah.

Antaranya peristiwa yang paling tragis ialah tragedi Deir Yassin pada 9 April 1948 yang melibatkan pembunuhan seramai 254 orang termasuk orang tua, wanita dan 52 kanak-kanak.

Petugas Palang Merah dan Pertubuhan Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) sendiri menyaksikan bagaimana rumah-rumah rakyat Palestin dibakar dan orang yang cuba menyelamatkan diri ditembak.

Sejarah kejatuhan bumi Palestin ke tangan Yahudi bermula apabila Britain melalui setiausaha negara hal-ehwal luarnya, Arthur Balfour, telah mengeluarkan satu kenyataan bertarikh 2 November 1917 yang menjanjikan masyarakat Yahudi satu tanahair di Palestin.

Pengisytiharan itu telah digelar 'Ominous Declaration' (Pengisytiharan Celaka).

Palestin menjadi isu antarabangsa apabila kerajaan Britain pada 2 April 1947 mendesak supaya isu Yahudi dan Palestin dimasukkan sebagai agenda PBB. Tidak lama selepas itu, sebuah Jawatankuasa antarabangsa telah ditubuhkan untuk mengkaji dan membuat laporan mengenai isu Palestin.

Cadangan dasar jawatankuasa ini adalah pembahagian wilayah Palestin yang tidak adil iaitu kepada negara Arab dan negara Yahudi yang merdeka, dan Jerusalem (Baitul Maqdis) diletakkan bawah tanggungjawab antarabangsa. Jelas sekali bahawa PBB sendiri bersubahat dalam proses pendudukan haram Yahudi di Palestin dan menjadi boneka kepada Yahudi.

ok cik nov, found 1.. crime is my favourite article..

May 15, 1976:
A young woman and her married lover kill her family

Patricia Columbo and Frank DeLuca are arrested for the brutal slaying of Columbo's parents and brother in Elk Grove, Illinois. Twenty-year-old Columbo had left her family home two years earlier to live with DeLuca, a 36-year-old married man. The pair later killed Frank, Mary, and Michael Columbo in order to receive the family inheritance, unaware that the Columbos had written Patricia out of their wills years earlier.

As a 16-year-old, Columbo worked in a suburban coffee shop where she met pharmacist Frank DeLuca, who managed the pharmacy next door. He soon hired her to work in his store and the two began an unusual sexual relationship; Columbo showed classmates pictures of her having sex with DeLuca's dog. (ewww)

In April 1974, DeLuca brought Columbo to stay in his own home, despite the fact that he still lived with his wife and five kids. Her parents were relieved when she later told them she was going to move into her own apartment, and even provided her with money. However, they soon learned that DeLuca had left his wife and moved in with their daughter, prompting Columbo's father to beat DeLuca severely.

On May 4, 1976, Patricia Columbo, then 19, and Frank DeLuca, 39, decided to carry out the plan themselves. They crept into the Columbo family home and shot Columbo's parents. They then bludgeoned Mike with a bowling trophy and stabbed him nearly 100 times with scissors. Police questioned Patricia but had no reason to suspect her until the following week.

Inspired by the promise of reward money, a friend led police to the men who had discussed killing the Columbo family with Patricia. After the couple was arrested, DeLuca's employees revealed that they had seen him washing and burning bloodstained clothes on the day after the murders. Apparently, he had kept them silent by threatening their families. While in jail, DeLuca attempted to have these witnesses killed by a cellmate, but another inmate thwarted the plan by telling the police.

The jury convicted Patricia Columbo and Frank DeLuca, and they were each sentenced to 200 to 300 years in prison. But Columbo managed to keep herself in the spotlight: In 1979, it was reported that she had assisted in organizing sex orgies involving guards and wardens at her prison in Dwight, Illinois. High-ranking officials at the prison, including the warden, were forced to resign in the wake of the scandal.

another news during that day.. sgt kejam this lady/girl
http://murderpedia.org/female.C/c/columbo-patricia.htm
Bet She Doesn’t Get Many Visitors
On May 7, 1976, Chicago police found a car belonging to Elk Grove resident Frank Columbo abandoned after apparently being stolen. They notified their counterparts in Elk Grove and the responding officer encountered a gruesome sight in the Columbos’ neat home.
Frank, 43, had been shot four times in the head. Before he died, however, he had been cruelly tortured and beaten. Police said he had been beaten with a bowling trophy and a lamp so severely that the back of his head “disintegrated.” There were several cigarette burns on his body. He had also been stabbed in the throat and chest.
His wife, Mary, 41, was shot once between the eyes. Her throat had been slashed and she also had been beaten, this time with a glass vase. She was clad in a nightgown and her underwear had been pulled down to her ankles. Her autopsy revealed no signs of sexual assault, however.
Their son, 13-year-old Michael was also dead. He had also been shot, beaten with the bowling trophy and stabbed more than 80 times — mostly in the neck — with a pair of sewing scissors. There were indications that he had been sleeping when the attack occurred and was awakened and forced out of bed by his killers.
Despite the fact that the family’s car had been found miles away in Chicago, there were no indications that anything else in the house had been disturbed or taken. This was obviously no ordinary crime.
According to the Elk Grove Daily Herald, then-Village President Charles Zettek said “the community was literally drowned in shock.”
Ray Rose, the investigating detective who is now the chief of police for Mundelein, said recently that he has never been able to forget what he saw that day. “Evil, death, tragedy,” were his initial thoughts when he saw the carnage.
“Frank was shot in the back of the head and his teeth came out,” Rose told The Chicago Sun-Times. “(Mary was probably dead before she hit the floor. I can still see the rage on Michael’s body.”
The only survivig member of the family was the Columbos’ 19-year-old daughter, Patricia, who was living apart from her family with a 37-year-old co-worker, Frank DeLuca. Her behavior immediately raised red flags to investigators.
“What I saw was very curious,” Rose told the Sun-Times in May 2006. “If you had just found out your whole family had been killed, you’d run to the scene.”
Instead Patricia went to the police station and began suggesting possible motives and leads. One, which was quickly ruled out, was that Frank Columbo was the target of a mob hit. There was never any indication that he was in any way connected to organized crime.
Lying to police in the course of a murder investigation is never a good idea, and when you are the sole surviving member of the family, it is an even worse decision. As a result of her statements and behavior after the crimes, Patricia Columbo became the chief suspect.
“She could turn it on and turn it off,” Rose told reporters. “Smoking and joking, and then at one point laying over the casket and crying.”
It took police just 10 days to make an arrest in the murders. On May 17, 1976, Patricia was charged with murder, solicitation of murder, and conspiracy.
It turns out that Frank Columbo and his wife had a strong dislike for the married man and father of five — twice their daughter’s age — who was involved in a sexual relationship with Patricia. At one point, Frank approached DeLuca at the drug store where he worked as a pharmacist and cracked him in the jaw with a rifle. Assault charges were filed and then dropped due to Patricia’s pressuring.
DeLuca and Patricia met when she was 16 years old and their relationship quickly became physical.
“There wa a lifestyle that Frank introduced me to,” Patricia Columbo said years later. “That included sex with other couples. With other people.”
DeLuca photographed Patricia in sexually provacative poses, including one where she was naked with a German Shepard.
Fallout from the love affair prompted Patricia to move out of the family home. She lived with DeLuca and his wife for a while and then DeLuca separated from his wife and he and Patricia rented an apartment.
In the summer of 1975, Patricia met two men that she seduced and tried to hire to kill her family (Patricia claims one of the men forced her to have sex). She provided them with a diagram of the Columbo home and photos of the family.
The men did not act on her request and on May 4, 1976, she and DeLuca entered the home and attacked her family.
“I wanted to beat my father to the punch,” she said in a police interview, claiming she feared he had “ordered a hit” on her and her lover.
“It’s not an occurrence that took place over a five-minute period like a bar-room brawl,” prosecutor Algis Baliunas told the jury in the couple’s 1977 trial. “It’s a preplanned, premeditated, systematic eradication of three people that started six to eight months before the murders occurred.”
Evidence showed that both were willing participants with Patricia acting as a decoy to be admitted to the house. When Frank Columbo opened the door and turned around, DeLuca entered and shot him with a .32-caliber handgun.
“Frank DeLuca did the shooting,” Rose said. “And the mutilation, the stabbing and the bludgeoning of the bodies was done by Patty.”
After a monthlong trial filled with lurid accounts of sex and photographs of unimaginable horror, the pair was convicted. They were both sentenced to a minimum 200 years in prison.
In July 2006 Patrica was denied parole for the 12th time. Most of her relatives have repeatedly urged the Parole Board to keep her in prison.

TQ

15 may 1949 (Tornado Armarillo)

AMARILLO -- The May 15th, 1949 tornado was not the biggest or the deadliest to hit the Panhandle, but it is thus far the strongest storm to directly affect Amarillo.

The tornado remains the costliest in Amarillo's history and is a storm Amarilloans around at the time will never forget.

Gracie Haddox was a teenager when the tornado struck.



"It was a terrible terrible thing and it tore up a lot of Amarillo."

Mamie Soloman was a young mother, "The electricity went out and all the guys went to the car to listen to the radio. They went to where it happened to help direct traffic."

The tornado moved across the southern and eastern part of Amarillo in the early evening.

Winds of up to 84 miles per hour damaged or destroyed over two hundred homes.  The cost to the city was nearly $5 million, by 1949 standards.

"With an F4 tornado, homes would be totally destroyed but debris would still be on foundations," said Warning Coordination Meteorologist Steve Drillette.

The storm also traveled out to the then brand-new Tradewinds Airport. There, the doors and roofs blew off the hangers allowing the storm to damage 45 aircrafts.

The tornado killed seven Amarilloans and injured more than eighty, but warning sirens did not exist at the time and many believe the death toll could have been much higher.

"Warnings started in the fifties," says Drillete, "tornados weren't mentioned at all in forecasts."

But in this case, a weather service meteorologist decided to break the rules and warn the city.

"We were listening to the radio and we kept hearing a tornado was on the way," says Soloman.

Haddox also recalls the storm. "Well first, just before it hits, there is a deadly silence and then a big roar and then it hits."

"It was a scary situation. That's the closest I've been to one and it was close enough," says Soloman.
