In many cultures, people celebrate their birthdays with not only joy (they've survived another year ) but with a certain reverence for that one day of the year that is theirs alone. It is only natural to be interested in what else happened...who shares the same birthday, what major world events occurred on that specific day throughout history? The On This Date series of booklets captures the events of two millennia for each day of the year. The subjects cover the gamut - births, deaths, wars, elections, sports, the arts and entertainment, and a healthy smattering of what can only be described as interesting trivia, like on April 30, 1988the largest banana split ever, at 4.5 miles long, was made in Pennsylvania, taking advantage of a late snow storm. A great birthday gift for anyone on your list

The simple reason for this reverse was incompetence, since similar East India Company garrisons at Kandhar and Jalalabad in fortified positions successfully held their positions despite assaults by Afghans in overwhelming numbers .Thus the British held Jalalabad with a small garrison of just about 2,000 troops from just one European infantry regiment one Native infantry regiment and some cavalry.During this period when a major earthquake also damaged the walls of the fort, they were repeatedly defeated assaults by overwhelmingly large Afghan forces. In this five month period the British casualties were less than I 00 men 41 Kandahar was held by a simihtrly small garrison of just one European regiment and six Native infantry regiments and successfully held out from August 1839 till August 1842 . Only Ghazni was lost which was held by one weak native infantry battalion.The East India Company's forces recaptured Kabul in September 1842 and withdrew from Afghanistan, since the East India Company being a commercial entity had no wish to annex to its territory a barren non productive country.Later on a myth was made and popularised as part of anti Soviet propaganda after 1979, that Afghanistan was a formidable country and had never been successfully invaded The actual fact remains that troop strength wise it was a small affair.The only fact which made it costly was the logistic aspect of supplying the army via a 1,500 miles long route through terrain which had very limited local foraging and agricultural resources.The Afghan war contrary to the popular myth was a British success since the lesson taught in September 1842 was so convincing that the Afghans desisted from the temptation of attacking British India even in 1857, when the Company was very vulnerable and even ready to abandon territory till river Indus The First Afghan War was followed by the Sind War as a result of which Sind was annexed.Militarily the Sind War was a highly insignificant affair. The British force which won the decisive Battle of Miani ( 17 February 1843) had less than 1,800 men (including just one European infantry regiment ).The British losses in this battle were just 64 men killed and 194 wounded 42 According

The discreet advertisement in The Times, addressed "To Those who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine", offers a small medieval castle for rent, above a bay on the Italian Riviera. Four very different women - the dishevelled and downtrodden Mrs Wilkins, the sad, sweet-faced Mrs Arbuthnot, the formidable widow Mrs Fisher and the ravishing socialite Lady Caroline Dester - are drawn to the shores of the Mediterranean that April. As each, in turn, blossoms in the warmth of the Italian spring and finds their spirits stirring, quite unexpected changes occur.

'The Enchanted April', a novel by Elizabeth von Arnim, follows four dissimilar women in 1920s England who leave their rainy, grey environments to go on holiday in Italy. Mrs Arbuthnot and Mrs Wilkins, who belong to the same ladies' club but have never spoken, become acquainted after reading a newspaper advertisement for a small medieval castle on the Mediterranean to be let furnished for April. They find some common ground in that both are struggling to make the best of unhappy marriages. They also reluctantly take on the waspish, elderly Mrs Fisher and the stunning but aloof Lady Caroline Dester to defray expenses. The four women come together at the castle and find rejuvenation in the tranquil beauty of their surroundings, rediscovering hope and love.

How far will Ellie May go for a laugh--and a little revenge--when her class is allowed to celebrate April Fools' Day? Quirky and funny second grader Ellie May can't believe her class is allowed to celebrate April Fools' Day--so long as it's done in good fun. She absolutely loves the idea of targeting a certain someone--the practically perfect Ava. Practicing on her parents and sisters, Ellie May begins to brainstorm harmless pranks. Soon enough, good intentions turn the classroom and her home upside-down when fake ants, trick tape, and hidden surprises don't go as planned. Ellie May may not be perfect like Miss-Know-it-All Ava, or calm and rational like her best friend Lizzy, but she's good-hearted and eventually realizes that the best trick is to make friends genuinely laugh--at no one's expense.

A recipe for happiness: four women, one medieval Italian castle, plenty of wisteria, and solitude as needed. The women at the center of The Enchanted April are alike only in their dissatisfaction with their everyday lives. They find each other--and the castle of their dreams--through a classified ad in a London newspaper one rainy February afternoon. The ladies expect a pleasant holiday, but they don't anticipate that the month they spend in Portofino will reintroduce them to their true natures and reacquaint them with joy. Now, if the same transformation can be worked on their husbands and lovers, the enchantment will be complete. The Enchanted April was a best-seller in both England and the United States, where it was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and set off a craze for tourism to Portofino. More recently, the novel has been the inspiration for a major film and a Broadway play.
