TODAY IN HISTORY - World's First "Test Tube Baby" Born
On this day in 1978, Louise Joy Brown, the world's first baby to be conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF) is born at Oldham and District General Hospital in Manchester, England, to parents Lesley and Peter Brown. The healthy baby was delivered shortly before midnight by caesarean section and weighed in at five pounds, 12 ounces.
Before giving birth to Louise, Lesley Brown had suffered years of infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes. In November 1977, she underwent the then-experimental IVF procedure. A mature egg was removed from one of her ovaries and combined in a laboratory dish with her husband’s sperm to form an embryo. The embryo then was implanted into her uterus a few days later. Her IVF doctors, British gynecologist Patrick Steptoe and scientist Robert Edwards, had begun their pioneering collaboration a decade earlier. Once the media learned of the pregnancy, the Browns faced intense public scrutiny. Louise’s birth made headlines around the world and raised various legal and ethical questions.
The Browns had a second daughter, Natalie, several years later, also through IVF. In May 1999, Natalie became the first IVF baby to give birth to a child of her own. The child’s conception was natural, easing some concerns that female IVF babies would be unable to get pregnant naturally. In December 2006, Louise Brown, the original "test tube baby," gave birth to a boy, Cameron John Mullinder, who also was conceived naturally.
Today, IVF is considered a mainstream medical treatment for infertility. Hundreds of thousands of children around the world have been conceived through the procedure, in some cases with donor eggs and sperm.
HARI INI DALAM SEJARAH - Serangan Pertama Portugis Ke Atas Melaka
Pada hari ini dalam tahun 1511, Melaka telah diserang oleh askar-askar Portugis yang diketuai oleh Alfonso D'Albuquerque. Serangan yang dilancarkan oleh askar-askar Portugis ini merupakan serangan yang pertama ke atas Melaka ekoran daripada tidak ada tolak ansur di antara Sultan Mahmud, dan orang-orang Portugis mengenai orang-orang tahanan Portugis.
Askar-askar Portugis telah melancarkan serangan pada waktu subuh hari ini, iaitu hari St. James, dengan menaiki beberapa buah perahu. Orang-orang Portugis mendarat di bahaglan utara dan selatan bandar Melaka. Perahu-perahu yang membawa askar-askar Portugis telah dibedil dengan meriam dari darat oleh orang-orang Melayu. Tetapi askar-askar Portugis itu dapat juga mendarat, dan satu pertempuran hebat telah berlaku di antara askar-askar Portugis dan orang-orang Melayu yang diketuai oleh Sultan Mahmud dan putera baginda Raja Ahmad. Setelah bertempur beberapa jam lamanya ramai askar-askar kedua belah pihak terbunuh dan orang-orang portugis telah mencapai objektifnya untuk menawan jambatan dekat dengan Kuala Sungai Melaka. Bagi orang-orang Melayu banyak rumah-rumah dan harta benda telah musnah, dan yang paling penting ialah Istana Sultan Melaka yang menjadi lambang kebesaran Kerajaan Melayu yang telah turut juga musnah.
Askar-askar Portugis seramai 70 orang yang mempertahankan jambatan serta membuat kubu-kubu di kedua-dua hujung jambatan itu, telah dihujani dengan tembakan meriam, tombak dan sumpitan beracun dari orang-orang Melayu. Oleh kerana serangan itu tidak berhenti-henti maka orang-orang Portugis tidak dapat mempertahankan jambatan tersebut dan semuanya telah terbunuh kecuali seorang pegawai bernama Fernao Gomez yang selamat. Pada petang itu juga baki askar-askar Portugis yang hidup di bandar Melaka telah bertempiaran lari ke kapal mereka.
Sesungguhnya peperangan tersebut adalah satu detik bersejarah bagi orang-orang Melayu untuk mempertahankan tanah air mereka dari pencerobohan Portugis. Kekalahan Portugis dalam pertempuran tersebut adalah satu kemenangan bagi orang-orang Melayu dalam usaha mempertahankan Melaka daripada kuasa besar Barat yang bertujuan untuk menguasai perdagangan dan menghapuskan pusat perkembangan Islam.
1952 Argentina Eva Peron 26th July 1952 : Eva Peron, died today of a prolonged illness she was known as Evita (Little Eva) to the people of Argentina.
Eva Peron dies
Eva Duarte de Peron, wife of the president of the Argentine Republic, has died from cancer, aged 33.
She passed away at 2025 local time at the presidential residence in the company of her husband General Juan Domingo Peron.
Her death was announced by the Subsecretariat of Information at 2142.
The President of the Chamber of Deputies, Dr Campora, immediately submitted a bill to Congress, declaring 26 July as a national day of mourning from now on.
The government has announced that it will observe official mourning for 30 days.
'Brilliant and devoted'
The Queen sent a message of condolence to the Argentine president.
It read: "I extend to you my deepest sympathy and that of my people for the tragic loss which you and the Argentine people have suffered in the premature death of your brilliant and devoted partner."
Argentina's most famous first lady, who was recently proclaimed "spiritual chief of the Argentine nation" by Congress, was born Maria Eva Duarte on 7 May 1919 in the village of Los Toldos.
She was the youngest of five children born to Juana Ibarguren and Juan Duarte. Her father died when she was seven and the family struggled to make ends meet.
Before she was 20 Eva had moved to Buenos Aires to pursue her theatrical aspirations.
She met the then Colonel Juan Domingo Peron in 1944 when he was vice president and secretary of war and the couple were married in 1945.
The following year General Peron became president. His wife devoted her time to the poor, or the descamisados (shirtless ones), of Argentina and over the next seven years brought the working classes into a position of political power never witnessed before.
She organised mass political rallies and spent millions of pounds of public money on the poor. She got women the vote and legalised divorce.
But the Peronist years were controversial.
Although hailed a social champion and adored by the working classes, Evita, as she became known, was feared and loathed by the military and the upper classes. They regarded her as a threat and believed she was using her public position to further her own personal aspirations.
In 1951 she was nominated for vice-presidency but was forced to withdraw after pressure from the military.
Her last public appearance was on 4 June this year when she stood beside her husband in an open motor-car during the inauguration ceremonies for his second presidential term.
Her body, dressed in a white evening dress, has been taken to the Ministry of Labour and Welfare, where it will lie in state for two days.
Kejadian Gempa Bumi di Skopje, Macedonia yang mengakibatkan lebih 1000 kematian.
The 1963 Skopje earthquake (Macedonian: Скопски земјотрес 1963, transliterated Skopski zemjotres 1963) was a 6.1 moment magnitude earthquake which occurred in Skopje, SR Macedonia (present-day Republic of Macedonia) then part of the SFR Yugoslavia, on July 26, 1963 which killed over 1,070 people, injured between 3,000and 4,000 and left more than 200,000 people homeless.About 80 percent of the city was destroyed.
The earthquake, which measured 6.1 on the moment magnitude scale(equivalent to 6.9 on the Richter scale), occurred on July 26, 1963 at 4:17 am UTC (5:17 am local time) in Skopje, Socialist Republic of Macedonia, then part of SFR Yugoslavia (present-day Republic of Macedonia). The tremor lasted for 20 seconds and was felt mostly along the Vardar River Valley.There were also smaller aftershocks until 5:43.
Within days after the earthquake took place, 35 nations requested that the United Nations General Assembly place relief for Skopje on their list of agendas. Relief, in the form of money, medical, engineering and building teams and supplies was offered from 78 countries.
2006 U.S.A. Andrea Yates 26th July 2006 : An earlier trial verdict of the murder of 5 children by their mother ( Andrea Yates ) which sentenced her to life imprisonment has been overturned, and in the latest verdict she has been cleared by reason of insanity of murdering her five children by drowning them in the bath. She will now be sent to a state mental hospital until she is considered sane enough for release.
Andrea Yates (born Andrea Pia Kennedy; July 2, 1964) is a former Houston, Texas resident who confessed to drowning her five children in their bathtub on June 20, 2001.[1] She had been suffering for some time with very severe postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. The then-Harris County Texas District Attorney asked for the death penalty in Yates' 2002 trial. Her case placed the M'Naghten Rules with the Irresistible Impulse Test, a legal test for sanity, under close public scrutiny in the United States. Yates was convicted of capital murder. After the guilty verdict, but before sentencing, the State abandoned its request for the death penalty in light of mistaken testimony by one of its expert psychiatric witnesses. Yates was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years. The verdict was overturned on appeal.[2]
On July 26, 2006, the Texas jury in her retrial found that Yates was not guilty by reason of insanity. She was consequently committed by the court to the North Texas State Hospital, Vernon Campus,[3] a high-security mental health facility in Vernon, Texas, where she received medical treatment and was a roommate of Dena Schlosser, another woman who committed filicide by killing her infant daughter. In January 2007, Yates was moved to a low security state mental hospital in Kerrville, Texas.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Yates http://edition.cnn.com/2006/LAW/07/26/yates.verdict/

2002 Ukraine Fighter Jet Crash Kills 85 27th July 2002 : A fighter jet crashes into a crowd of spectators during an air show in Ukraine killing 85 people and injuring hundreds more.
During an air show in Ukraine, a fighter jet crashes into a crowd of spectators on this day in 2002, killing 85 people and injuring hundreds more. This was the worst air-show accident to that date.
Thousands of spectators, including many children, were enjoying themselves on a summer Saturday afternoon at the Skniliv Airfield in Lviv. They came to mark the 60th anniversary of the formation of a local unit of the Ukrainian air force. A Russian Sukhoi SU-27 jet was performing a complicated maneuver just above the ground when it nicked a plane on the tarmac. The jet somersaulted and crashed directly into the crowd. The fiery explosion created a horrific scene. The two pilots, however, managed to eject themselves from the plane before the crash and survived with minor injuries.
The president of Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma, immediately fired the head of the air force, began an investigation into the incident and vowed to end all future air shows. Millions of dollars were set aside to assist the victims and their families. The investigation quickly revealed that the pilots were attempting risky maneuvers that had never before been tried. In addition, there were no safety precautions in place to help the pilots direct the planes away from the crowd below in the event of an emergency.
he previous worst air-show disaster was at the U.S. air base in Ramstein, Germany, where three Italian jets collided and one crashed into the crowd. Seventy people were killed in that disaster.
