I LOVE new weeks! February 17th, 1959 the very first weather satellite was launched! It was called Vanguard 2. February 18th, 1735 the first opera, of many, was preformed in Charleston, South Carolina. How I envy the days before operas were around! February 19th, 2007, in Guatemala, three Salvadorian deputies of the Central American Parliament and their driver are murdered as they make their way to a meeting. February 20th, 1811 Austria declares that it is bankrupt. Therefore, it is fair to say that on this day you should try to be smart with your money! February 21st, 2012 is a day where fans of One Direction, Adele, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran will remember. It was the beautiful day in Great Britain where they each got their own Brit Award! February 22nd, 1994, the old movie of "Les Miserables" comes out in Chunichi theater, which is located in Nagoya, Japan. February 23rd, 2011 the death toll in Libya is estimated to be 1,000. This is a day to remember those poor people who where just standing up for themselves.
