ONE DAY OLDER ON AUGUST 16:
Julie Newmar (91)
Angela Bassett (66)
Madonna (66)
WHAT HAPPENED TODAY:
1977: Elvis Presley died at his Graceland mansion in Memphis of heart failure caused by abuse of prescription pain killers.
1998: A team of monster-hunters reported it had failed to find any trace of a mysterious creature thought to have inhabited Sweden’s Great Lake for 360 years. The fleet of 15 boats with researchers and divers equipped with underwater video cameras and echo equipment found no signs of the monster reportedly sighted on 150 occasions by 450 people since 1635.
2014: Continued riots in Ferguson, Missouri over the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown by a police officer resulted in the announcement of a state of emergency and a curfew by Governor Jay Nixon.
WORD OF THE DAY: kibosh [ kahy-bosh, ki-bosh ]
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/kibosh
something that serves to stop something else
Management's decision to cut funding put the kibosh on the entire project.
DAILY AFFIRMATION: I Embrace The Journey Of Becoming The Best Version Of Myself.
Boosts Confidence and Self-Image: Regularly affirming your commitment to personal growth reinforces self-belief, enhancing confidence and self-image, which are crucial for successfully navigating life's challenges and reaching your goals.

PLUS, TODAY WE CELEBRATE: Kool-Aid Day
https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/august/national-kool-aid-days-2nd-weekend-in-august
Oh yeeeeeeeaaaaah! Kool-Aid Days during the second weekend of August recognizes the childhood drink that has been around since 1927. This beverage holiday is not only a contemporary celebration for some, but also a time to walk down memory lane reminiscing about the younger days of friends, hot summer days and KOOL AID! Kool Aid was invented in 1927 by Edwin Perkins and originally named “Fruit Smack.” While the product originally sold as a concentrate, shipping problems helped spark the product's success. The expense of shipping the bottled concentrate prompted the manufacturer to switch to the powdered version we've all come to know and love. By the time the Great Depression hit, the price of Kool Aid was cut in half. The strategy paid off, and Kool-Aid kept its popularity through the Great Depression and beyond.
