Thousands of records shattered in historic winter warm spell in Europe (Ian Livingston, The Washington Post, Jan 02 2023)

“As 2022 turned to 2023, an exceptionally strong wintertime heat dome pounced on much of Europe, producing unprecedented warmth for January.

As temperatures soared 18 to 36 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 20 Celsius) above normal from France to western Russia, thousands of records were broken between Saturday and Monday — many by large margins.

The extreme warm spell followed a record-warm year in many parts of Europe and provided yet another example of how human-caused climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of such extraordinary weather events.

On New Year’s Day, at least seven countries saw their warmest January weather on record as temperatures surged to springtime levels: Latvia hit 52 degrees (11.1 Celsius); Denmark 54.7 degrees (12.6 Celsius); Lithuania 58.3 degrees (14.6 Celsius); Belarus 61.5 degrees (16.4 Celsius); the Netherlands 62.4 degrees (16.9 Celsius); Poland 66.2 degrees (19.0 Celsius); and the Czech Republic 67.3 degrees (19.6 Celsius).

Those who track worldwide weather records described the warm spell as historic and could hardly believe its scope and magnitude.

Maximiliano Herrera, a climatologist who tracks global weather extremes, called the event “totally insane” and “absolute madness” in text messages to the Capital Weather Gang.

He wrote that some of the high nighttime temperatures observed were uncommon in midsummer.

It’s “the most extreme event ever seen in European climatology,” Herrera wrote. “Nothing stands close to this.”

Guillaume Séchet, a broadcast meteorologist in France, agreed, tweeting that Sunday was one of the most incredible days in Europe’s climate history.

“The intensity and extent of warmth in Europe right now is hard to comprehend,” tweeted Scott Duncan, a meteorologist based in London.”

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more … January 5

1773 – Richard Heber (d.1833) was an English book-collector.

A taste for book collecting was developed in him in childhood. As an undergraduate, he began to collect a purely classical library, but his taste broadening, he became interested in early English drama and literature, and began his wonderful collection of rare books in these departments. Succeeding on the death of his father in 1804 to large estates in Yorkshire and Shropshire, which he considerably augmented, he forthwith devoted himself to the purchase of rare books. Heber was one of the 18 founders in 1812 of the Roxburghe Club of bibliophiles.

He possessed extensive landed property in Shropshire and Yorkshire, and was High Sheriff of the former county in 1821, was Member of Parliament (MP) for Oxford University from 1821 to 1826, and in 1822 was made a D.C.L. of that University. He was one of the founders of the Athenaeum Club, London.After ransacking England for books, Heber travelled extensively on the Continent, purchasing everywhere, and leaving large depots of books in Paris, Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, and elsewhere in the Netherlands and Germany. At booksales he sometimes purchased single volumes, sometimes whole libraries. Sir Walter Scott classed Heber's library as "superior to all others in the world." He did not confine himself to the purchase of a single copy of a work which took his fancy. "No gentleman," he remarked, "can be without three copies of a book, one for show, one for use, and one for borrowers." To such a size did his library grow that it overran eight houses, some in England, some on the Continent.

In 1826 he and Charles Henry Hartshorne, a friend he had made through the Roxburghe Club, encountered gossip and innuendo over the nature of their relationship. John Bull magazine hinted in two of its issues that it was homosexual. Heber abruptly left the country; Hartshorne sued John Bull successfully in the courts.

At his death his collection in England was estimated by at 105,000 volumes, exclusive of many thousands on the Continent, the whole having cost more than £180,000. This immense library was disposed of by auction after the owner's death, the sale lasting 216 days and realizing more than £60,000.

After he died the well-founded gossip that he had been homosexual resurfaced.

1907 – Rod Riffler, born Rudolf Ungar, (d.1941) was a Croatian modern dance teacher, choreographer and owner of a dance school in Zagreb, who was killed during the Holocaust.

Riffler was born in Osijek to a Jewish parents, Makso and Ilka (née Lang) Ungar. His father was a merchant born in Osijek. Riffler was raised with two siters, Marie Louise and Marija, and younger brother, Rafael. When he moved from Osijek to Zagreb, Riffler opened a dance school and was one of the best teachers of modern dance at the time.

Riffler was mentor and teacher of Lea Deutsch, the well-known Croatian Jewish child actress. He was also a close friend of Deutsch's mother, Ivka.

Riffler was homosexual. In 1941, when the Ustaše (Croatian Fascists) found out that he was a Jew and homosexual, Riffler was arrested and deported to Jasenovac concentration camp. Riffler died from hunger in the Jasenovac concentration camp. He was 34 years old.

In 2010 Croatian director Branko Ivanda made a film "Lea i Darija - Dječje carstvo" (Lea and Darija - Children's Empire), about the tragic destiny of Lea Deutsch, who died while being shipped to Auscwitz. Rod Riffler was portrayed in the movie by Croatian actor Radovan Ruždjak.

1931 – Alvin Ailey, Jr. (d.1989) was an American choreographer and activist who founded the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York. Ailey is credited with popularizing modern dance and revolutionizing African-American participation in 20th century concert dance. His company gained the nickname "Cultural Ambassador to the World" because of its extensive international touring. Ailey's choreographic masterpiece Revelations is believed to be the best-known and most often seen modern dance performance.

Ailey was born to his 17-year-old mother, Lula Elizabeth Ailey, in Rogers, Texas. His father abandoned the family when Alvin was only 6 months old. Like many African-Americans living in Texas during the Great Depression, Ailey and his mother moved very often and she had a hard time finding work. Ailey grew up during a time of racial segregation and rumors of violence and lynchings against African-Americans. When Ailey was five, his 22-year-old mother was raped by a group of white men, leaving him afraid of whites. Early experiences in the Southern Baptist church and jook joints instilled in him a fierce sense of black pride that would later figure prominently in Ailey's signature works.

In the fall of 1942, Ailey's mother, like many African Americans, migrated to Los Angeles, California where she had heard there was lucrative work supporting the war effort. Ailey joined his mother later by train, having stayed behind in Texas to finish out the school year. Ailey's first junior high school in California was located in a primarily white school district. As one of the only black students, Ailey felt out of place because of his fear of whites, so the Aileys moved to a predominantly black school district.

Ailey did not become serious about dance until in 1949 his school friend Carmen De Lavallade introduced him to the Hollywood studio of Lester Horton. Horton would prove to be Ailey's major influence, becoming a mentor and giving him both a technique and a foundation with which to grow artistically.

When Horton died in November 1953 the tragedy left the company without an artistic director. The company had outstanding contracts that required and desired new works. When no one else stepped forward, Ailey assumed the role of artistic director. Despite his youth and lack of experience (Ailey was only twenty-two and had choreographed only one dance in a workshop) he began choreographing, directing scene and costume designs, and running rehearsal. Not finding another mentor, he began creating works of his own.

Ailey formed his own group, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, in 1958. The group presented its inaugural concert on March 30, 1958. Notable early work included Blues Suite, a piece deriving from blues songs. Ailey's choreography was a dynamic and vibrant mix growing out of his previous training in ballet, modern dance, jazz, and African dance techniques. Ailey insisted upon a complete theatrical experience, including costumes, lighting, and make-up. A work of intense emotional appeal expressing the pain and anger of African Americans, Blues Suite was an instant success and defined Ailey's style.

For his signature work, Revelations, Ailey drew upon his "blood memories" of Texas, the blues, spirituals, and gospel. These forces resulted in the creation of his most popular and critically acclaimed work. Ailey originally intended the dance to be the second part of a larger, evening-length survey of African-American music which he began with Blues Suite.

Ailey was openly gay and is one of the most prominent gay Black men in American history. According to Black gay activist Keith Boykin, this is rarely acknowledged in the Black community due to the stigma surrounding homosexuality. For a time during the 1950s, Ailey was romantically linked with political activist David McReynolds. Ailey died in 1989 at the age of 58. To spare his mother the social stigma of his death from AIDS, he asked his doctor to announce that he had died of terminal blood dyscrasia

1942 – The Spanish novelist Terenci Moix had a fascination for the ordinary combined with beautifully wrought language, and a love of good living, honed by lonely hours struggling for literary perfection. His Onades sobre una roca deserta, (Waves On A Desolate Rock) won the 1968 Pla prize.

The following year, he published El dia que va morir Marilyn (The Day That Marilyn Died), which became the talisman-book of his generation. This famous novel follows two Barcelona families from before the Spanish civil war to the new freedoms of the 1960s.

Moix was born to a lower middle-class family in Barcelona's old city, and christened Ramon. In the bitter years after the civil war, he grew up in the Plaza del Peso de la Paja (straw-weighing square). El peso de la paja also means the "weight of wanking" – the sort of double entendre that Moix adored – and, in the 1990s, became the title of his three-volume autobiography.

He left school at 14, and fled from his parents' rows to live for several years in Paris, London and Rome. Abroad, he met 1960s pop culture, which reaffirmed the value of the world of films he had escaped into as a child. He became, too, a man of formidable knowledge and culture – a linguist, an opera-lover and an Egyptologist.

Moix chose early to live his life as freely as possible. He returned to Barcelona in the mid-1960s to become openly (and illegally) homosexual, irreverently exhibitionist, scandalous and obscenely witty. Some say he named himself Terenci after the young Terence Stamp.

In 1986, he won the Planeta prize with No digas que fue un sueño (Don't Say It Was A Dream), a reworking of the story of Antony and Cleopatra. This sold more than a million copies, and brought him mass popularity. It is a book of lyrical, rich language, peppered with mordant darts of irony and laughing vulgarity.

Four more novels on ancient Egypt followed, culminating in El arpista ciego (The Blind Harpist, 2002). He was wont to say, with a rich camp chuckle, that he had been left by seven lovers, so took refuge in frequent visits to Egypt – first in the 1960s – and a vast collection of videos. Egypt and films were the loves that never betrayed him.

Moix lived life on his own terms. Transgressing society's norms, he found that masses of people ended up loving him for his freedom and integrity. His best books are landmarks in modern Spanish literature.

He died in 2003 aged 61 from emphysema.

1943 – On this date the famed Dutch soccer referee Ignace Van Swieten was born (d. 2005), He was born in a Japanese POW camp near Semarang in Indonesia, a Dutch colony at the time.

Van Swieten was openly Gay at a time when it was not accepted in professional sports. Hell it's still tough. According to a 2009 poll conducted by the Dutch football magazine, Magazine Voetbal International, 33% of professional football players in the Dutch league expressed the notion that if a footballer came out of the closet, he wouldn't have a life anymore. Twenty-five percent believe that homosexuality will always be a taboo. Sixty percent feel that there is no place for homosexuals in Dutch football. Only eleven players said that they do not consider it a taboo anymore.

Van Swieten received a lot of hatred from players and fans alike, including an attack with a hammer, but is now considered a great figure in Dutch Football and a valued teacher to other players. He was also a teacher at the KNVB Academy, the Educational Department of the Royal Netherlands Football Association. He died of lung disease in 2005.

1965 – Robert Beachy, born in Aibonito, Puerto Rico, is associate professor of history at Underwood International College at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. He formerly taught at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1998. Beachy specializes in the intellectual and cultural history of Germany and Europe, and is known for his work on the history of sexuality in the Weimar Republic, under the Nazis, and in Germany after the Second World War.

In 2009, Beachy was named a fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation for his research on homosexuality in Nazi Germany. Beachy's work also has received support from the Huntington Library, the National Humanities Center, the Max Planck Institute for History, the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the American Philosophical Society.

In 2015, his work "Gay Berlin: Birthplace of a Modern Identity" was named a Stonewall Honor Book in Non-Fiction by the American Library Association.

1984 – Ryan O'Meara, born in Houston, Texas, is an American ice dancer. With partner Jamie Silverstein, he is a 2006 Olympian. Following his retirement from competitive skating, he began working full-time as a coach and an interior designer.

O'Meara competed on the novice and junior levels with Melissa Ralph and Lia Nitake, having some success with them both. He won four straight medals at the U.S. Championships on the novice and junior levels between 1999 and 2002, two with Ralph and two with Nitake. He competed with Lydia Manon from 2003 to 2005. With Manon, he won the bronze medal at the 2005 U.S. Championships and at the 2005 Four Continents, following which Manon decided to end the partnership.

He began training with Jamie Silverstein, a former World Junior Champion with Justin Pekarek, in April 2005. They were coached by Igor Shpilband and Marina Zueva in Canton, Michigan. Silverstein and O'Meara had sudden success. They were sent as a host entry to the 2005 Skate America, their first international competition together as a team, and placed 5th.

They won the bronze medal at the 2006 U.S. Championships, which qualified them for the 2006 Winter Olympics and the 2006 Four Continents Championships. They competed at the Four Continents and placed 6th.

At the Olympics, they placed 18th in the compulsory dance, 16th in the original dance, and 18th in the free dance, placing 16th overall out of 23 teams. They chose not to compete at the 2006 World Championships. U.S. pewter medalists Morgan Matthews and Maxim Zavozin were sent in their place.

In the spring of 2006, Silverstein and O'Meara announced they would be taking time off from competitive skating. Their partnership ended soon after and O'Meara retired from competitive skating.

O'Meara works as a coach. He owns an interior design business called "Palavela Home", which is named after the Palavela, the venue for the figure skating competition at the Olympics. O'Meara is openly gay

1988 – Raleigh, North Carolina enacts a gay rights ordinance. Raleigh is the hometown of the famous homophobe Jesse Helms.

Happy 68th Birthday to Rock star Angus McKinnon Young, born in Glasgow March 31st 1955.

The Young family migrated to Australia en masse, a total of 15 of an extended family group flew out of Scotland late 1963.

Angus, 8, brothers Malcolm, 10 and George, about 13 would go on to make their mark on the music industry worldwide.

The family were initially housed in an imigration centre in Nissan Huts in the suburb of Villawood in Sydney, New South Wales before settling in Burwood in Sydney where the boys studied at Ashfield Boys High School. Angus dropped out of school at the age of 15.

After playing in the band Kantuckee, later called Tantrum, he and his brother Malcolm formed the band AC/DC. He chose the school uniform as his signature look.

Their first single was Can I Sit Next To You, and their debut album was High Voltage weer well received both in Australia and abroad. Other successful albums followed Highway to Hell and Back in Black being their biggest hits, the latter was released as a tribute to Bon Scott, the band’s lead singer who died from alcohol poisoning. It became the second highest-selling album worldwide.

In 2003 AC/DC were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and 7 years later after 7 previous nominations the band finally won a Grammy for their album Black Ice

Angus’s brother Malcolm left the group through ill health in 2014 after being diagnosed with dementia, keeping it in the family Stevie Young, their nephew took his place. In 2012 Angus was named Best Australian Guitarist of All Time in a poll conducted by Australian Guitar Magazine.

Unlike the late Bon Scott Angus has been a teetotaller all of his life, he is married to a Dutch woman, Ellen and they own homes in Australia, the UK, and the Netherlands. Don’t confuse his lack of drinking with not leading a Rock n Roll life style by the way, the band were once banned from playing in Glasgow, can you imagine that lol!!!

On the music industry Angus once said in an interview “Look, there’s not much seriousness in it. It’s just rock’n’roll. Chew it up and spit it out.“ And that is what the band did.

Away from the stage the 68-year-old Scot lives the quiet life with Dutch wife Ellen van Lochem, they own homes in Australia, the UK and the Netherlands.

*ੈ ✧ ‧₊˚ BIOGRAPHY

some children are born with silver spoons in their mouths, never going a day feeling an ounce of want. others are born into poverty, visions of financial security all but a distant dream. for sophie lin, she was swung like a pendulum between the two ends of the spectrum, living a life comfortable enough to never experience hunger but poor enough to struggle when making ends meet. while money was more often than not the source of her problems, the lins were never poor when it came to love. love seemed to overflow at times, their lives wealthy in abundance if you knew exactly where to look. sophie & her mother called a tiny one bedroom apartment tucked away in the noisy streets of brooklyn their home.

her father ( though vaguely mentioned ) was out of the picture the moment sophie was conceived. having had a good heart & a wide ability for understanding, giaochi lin couldn’t bring herself to hold a grudge against her summertime lover, not when she knew the moment they met, they were never meant to be. the fact that sophie grew up without a father bore no semblance of an issue for the lins. sophie had a pleasant childhood growing up & it was all thanks to her mother who went above & beyond in trying to help her tread through the harshness of the world with a kind hand to hold. while mama lin worked tirelessly to provide for her daughter as a children’s book author, sophie went to school. it was the only thing her mother ever wanted, thinking education was too precious a gift to pass up.

like any obedient daughter, sophie did as she was asked ( though never told, her mother always treasured the value of self agency ) & how could she ever bring herself to deny her one wish when she fed & clothed her even though she, herself, was in desperate need of it? it was at the beginning of high school when teachers began to notice sophie’s potential — her genius , so to speak — a gentle & overlooked girl with a brain like an elephant . her teachers believed she was a scholar destined for a bright future & sophie took that validation & ran with it. she worked her hardest in hopes of making the most out of her schooling. if not for herself, then for her beautiful mother who she most desired to make proud. it was the least she could do when all they felt nowadays was a pang of worry from trying to keep themselves afloat.

sophie did eventually go against her mother’s wishes of only focusing on school & began to work odd jobs here & there. the occasional tutoring gig, a few delivery jobs here & there on a bike that was rusted & left her with more scrapes & bruises than she could count. when she made enough money, she always slipped the cash to her mother without her noticing, but mama lin somehow always knew. sophie got scolded each & every time it happened but it never came without a tear-stricken hug. their life was difficult. sophie realized the rawness of their condition the first time she saw her mother cry over a few extra bills in her purse & she was more than determined to get them out. it was sophie’s memory, photographic, & work ethic, scrupulous, that set her apart from the rest of the scholarship applicants at the end of her senior year.

[TW ILLNESS] at seventeen, sophie got her golden ticket out of brooklyn & left for university in california. that dream, however much she longed for, didn’t last very long.. when she was on her last year at university, sophie received a phone call from one of the hospitals back home. the doctor recanted a medical diagnosis to her, voice gentle yet clinical, “your mother... not improving... so sorry… it is spreading…” heartbroken & horrified at the news of her mother's deteriorating health, sophie did what any child would do & dropped everything to be with the only person she had in her corner. a new promise was born that day, sophie decided. she had step up & fix this by all means necessary.

that is how she ended up coming back to new york permanently, with an almost degree & back to working odd jobs to keep the little family she had from afloat. academics were her only defense & in the face of the real world, sophie was forced to stick her chest out & be brave. everything is & will always be for her mother, even if fear & loneliness pitched itself into the hollow of her chest, but— this wasn't about her. there were bigger things to worry about. her intelligence got her out of most situations & she was sure it would be the same with this. still, her mother urged her to continue her education, for her sake. with a determination that reminded her mother of her summertime love, sophie begrudgingly decided to go back…

except, things never really went according to plans. the whole world's eyes were on sophie long before she knew the reason why. as hard as she tried to hold her life together, all it took was a single visit from a woman with striking blue eyes that mirrored her own to unravel it all. "you are royalty, my dear. as your father's firstborn, you are the heir apparent to the throne." how could that be? all sophie knew was the streets of brooklyn. she was raised by a mother who spun stories of a summertime love that sounded more like a fairy tale than anything else. doubt crept into her voice as she listened to the woman reveal her hidden roots. with a dignified smile that held years worth of wisdom, sophie understood her little family's life of poverty & struggle had come to an end. as much as she wanted to wish the extravagant titles that she knew she was not worthy of away, there was no escaping it. & the infamous nepoupdates spreading the word before she could deny the news did nothing to help her case.

"this is a blessing," her mother would say after the woman was escorted back to her car, a warm & encouraging smile adorning her withering features. "don’t be scared, baby, your father has always been a good man, he won’t let anything happen to you." it was only then that sophie realized her mother's quick acceptance of the news meant she knew who her father was all along. & so, swept by the buzz of her name plastered all over the global news, the gentle & timid sophie became a part of the dutch royalty overnight. all there was left to do on her part was to accept it & keep moving, keep busy. the possibility of improving her mother’s ailing health with the best help the world could offer fueled her motives in accepting. she could take care of her mother this way, she could start anew & she truly can’t know if she doesn’t try.

*ੈ ✧ ‧₊˚ EXTRA

i would imagine the news of sophie's royal status is still pretty fresh. it has been about a few weeks since her exposure & a week since she came back to new york from the netherlands after getting her official portrait taken & published on the royal website. she is still quite flustered over the attention she is receiving from strangers & feels slighted by the whirlwind of change that came in her direction.

as such, i would also imagine she is still very new to the whole idea upward mobility. its giving ... having every right to confidently walk down the street of the ues but feeling out of place given the poverty she's faced. when curious eyes are on her, the feeling of being an imposter surfaces. tbh she probably stayed home for a few days out of fear of being perceived but was encouraged by her father to take ownership of her status ksjdsdjk

sophie is still trying to figure out how to navigate fame & most definitely struggles with who to trust/associate with. & to be 100% real, sophie still has broke mentality sdkjskd even tho she has access to insane wealth now.

i still haven't figured out the logistics of how she would be able to remain in new york given her newfound status, but i'm pretending her father was lenient & allowed to stay because of her admission to columbia. but tbh its mostly on the condition that she returns to the netherlands once every two weeks. her mother was strategically moved to the netherlands under the pretense of the best medical attention, but its really just a farce to ensure sophie won't dip from her responsibilities. she now lives in a nice penthouse, is an ivy league student & no longer rides that rusty bike of hers (rip). talk about upgrade :3c

*ੈ ✧ ‧₊˚ CONNECTIONS

i will work on this later since i'm seriously coming up dry but!! i'm open to anything & everything <33
