Major Lindsay was killed on 10 March 1988, aged 34, in a ski accident after being caught in an avalanche on Gotschnagrat Mountain while accompanying the Prince of Wales (later Charles III) on a holiday in Klosters in Switzerland. A regional avalanche warning was in effect that day above 5,280 feet and the group had been at about 6,000 feet prior to the avalanche. Swiss authorities stated that the avalanche began about 300 feet above the group of six skiers, and that Lindsay and another member of the group, Patricia Palmer-Tomkinson, could not avoid the snow. Both Lindsay and Palmer-Tomkinson were swept away by the avalanche and over a precipice.
In an interview in 1992, The Princess of Wales claimed that she took charge of the arrangements after the accident, as The Prince of Wales was in shock. The group flew back with the body on 12 March and was met with a guard of honour from his regiment. His funeral took place on 17 March 1988 at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, with The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Princess of Wales, The Duke of York and The Duchess of York attending. Sarah Lindsay was six or seven months pregnant at the time. She subsequently gave birth to a daughter, Alice Rose Lyttelton Lindsay, on 14 May 1988. She later remarried and took the last name Horsley.
Andrew Roy Gibb (5 March 1958 – 10 March 1988) was an English-Australian singer and songwriter. He was the younger brother of Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, musicians who had formed the Bee Gees during the mid-1960s. Gibb came to prominence in the late-1970s through the early-1980s with eight singles reaching the Top 20 of the US Hot 100, three of which went to No. 1: "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" (1977), "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" (1977), and "Shadow Dancing" (1978). In the early 1980s, he co-hosted the American music television series Solid Gold. He also performed in a production of The Pirates of Penzance and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Gibb would later struggle with drug addiction and depression. He died on 10 March 1988, five days after his 30th birthday.
The Bank of England £1 note was a sterling banknote. After the ten shilling note was withdrawn in 1970, it became the smallest denomination note issued by the Bank of England. The one pound note was issued by the Bank of England for the first time in 1797 and continued to be printed until 1984. The note was withdrawn in 1988 due to inflation and was replaced by a coin.
One pound notes were introduced by the Bank of England for the first time in 1797, following gold shortages caused by the French Revolutionary Wars. The earliest notes were handwritten, and were issued as needed to individuals. These notes were written on one side only and bore the name of the payee, the date, and the signature of the issuing cashier. Between 1797 and 1821 the lack of bullion meant that banks would not exchange banknotes for gold, but after the end of the Napoleonic Wars the shortage was alleviated such that notes could be exchanged for an equivalent amount of gold when presented at the bank. One pound notes ceased to be issued in 1821 and were replaced by gold sovereigns.

May 2: Painter Jackson Pollock’s piece Search is sold for $4,800,000.
Paul Jackson Pollock (/ˈpɒlək/; January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an American painter. A major figure in the abstract expressionist movement, Pollock was widely noticed for his "drip technique" of pouring or splashing liquid household paint onto a horizontal surface, enabling him to view and paint his canvases from all angles. It was called all-over painting and action painting, since he covered the entire canvas and used the force of his whole body to paint, often in a frenetic dancing style. This extreme form of abstraction divided critics: some praised the immediacy of the creation, while others derided the random effects.
Mural
In 1943, Peggy Guggenheim commissioned Pollock to make a mural for her new townhouse. The canvas was so big (160 square-feet) that Pollock had to rip out the partition between two rooms of his studio just to work on it. “It looks pretty big,” he remarked at the time, “but exciting as all hell.” Like The She-Wolf, Mural references mythology, but it was a step closer to his iconic drip paintings. “It was the first time that the artist experimented with commercial paints,” Abigail Cain wrote in an article for Artsy. “And while Pollock used a brush for most of the composition, he heralded his later drip techniques by flicking pink paint onto portions of the canvas.” And when art critic Clement Greenberg saw it at Guggenheim’s townhouse, he later said, “I took one look at it, and I knew Jackson was the greatest painter this country had produced.”
A reclusive and volatile personality, Pollock struggled with alcoholism for most of his life. In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy. Pollock died at age 44 in an alcohol-related single-car collision when he was driving. In December 1956, four months after his death, Pollock was given a memorial retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. A larger, more comprehensive exhibition of his work was held there in 1967. In 1998 and 1999, his work was honored with large-scale retrospective exhibitions at MoMA and the Tate Gallery in London.

Sharlee Jade "Shaylee" Curnow (born 2 April 1997), known professionally as Peach PRC, is an Australian pop singer, songwriter, and social media personality. Her major label debut single "Josh" was released in early 2021, which peaked at number 38 on the ARIA Singles Chart. Peach is a prominent figure on the social media platform TikTok, where she posts content about her life, living with borderline personality disorder, self-care advice, drug and alcohol abuse, and her music.
Peach was born on 2 April 1997 in Australia. Peach grew up in the southern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. She chose her stage name due to her love of the colour pink, as a homage to Princess Peach, using the title during her time performing as a stripper. An abbreviation for porcelain, she began using the suffix PRC on TikTok, because to type out the full word would be too long. In an interview with Echo Magazine, Peach said: "I've been interested in music for as long as I could talk, really. I've always sang and wrote songs and even have songs written from when I was like 8 years old."

He lives with his Polish wife in Berlin, where he made money as a street performer. A passerby informed him about the talent show Das Supertalent. He applied for the fifth season in 2011 and was able to qualify for the final rounds. With an interpretation of "El cóndor pasa" with the panflute and other South American wind instruments, he came through the semi-finals. This resulted in a reunion of the musician with his mother from Ecuador, causing an emotional performance. At the finals on 17 December 2011, Rojas played the instrumental track "The Lonely Shepherd", written by James Last, which had become a hit in 1977 when performed by Last and Gheorghe Zamfir. Rojas won the competition with a distinct lead.

Dune is a German Rave/Happy Hardcore/Techno/progressive trance band. The band took its name from the Dune series of science fiction novels by Frank Herbert. Oliver Froning was born on July 25, 1963 in Münster, Germany. He began his music career in 1984 under the name djraw. Together with Jens Oettrich, Bernd Burhoff he started the group Dune in 1992. The group performed from 1992 to 2000. Since 2004 Froning has been concentrating on his project djraw. Their first single “Hardcore Vibes” featured the voice of Oliver’s then 11-year-old cousin Janine. Their second single “Are You Ready to Fly?” sounded quite different and already featured the typical Dune-style with high-pitched vocals and a catchy melody. At the end of 1996 the band released the album “Forever” with a lot of tracks in a classical style - all tracks where performed together with the London Session Orchestra (see Dune & The London Session Orchestra). Lead singer Verena Von Strenge left Dune after the release of “Forever” to start a solo career. Dune came back in April 1998 with a new lead singer (Vanessa Hörster). The single “Keep the Secret” was only a medium success and its successor “Electric Heaven” flopped completely. In late 1999 Verena Von Strenge came back as lead singer after her solo career was not as successful as she wanted it to be. The single “Dark Side of the Moon” was released and the album “Reunion” was produced and ready for release in May 2000. However the album was never released due to a court order that stopped the single “Heaven”. The latest single released was “Rainbow To The Stars 2003”, a rework of their 1996 classic. It was released on 23 June 2003.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa was closed to the public after it was deemed to be leaning too far.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: torre pendente di Pisa, or simply the Tower of Pisa (torre di Pisa), is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of Pisa Cathedral. It is known for its nearly four-degree lean, the result of an unstable foundation. The tower is one of three structures in the Pisa's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo), which includes the cathedral and Pisa Baptistry. The height of the tower is 55.86 metres (183 feet 3 inches) from the ground on the low side and 56.67 m (185 ft 11 in) on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m (8 ft 0 in). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 tonnes (16,000 short tons).[2] The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. The tower began to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weight. It worsened through the completion of construction in the 14th century. By 1990, the tilt had reached 5.5 degrees. The structure was stabilized by remedial work between 1993 and 2001, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees.

On July 7th, 1995, Galileo arrived at Jupiter. To get into orbit, the spacecraft had to use its main engine. An error could send Galileo sailing past the planet, and there was just one chance to get it right. After hours of anxious waiting, mission controllers confirmed that the spacecraft was safely in orbit; Galileo was alive and well and had begun its primary mission. That very day, the spacecraft made close flybys of both Europa and Io.

Perrier's reputation for purity suffered a blow in February 1990 when a laboratory in North Carolina in the United States found benzene, a carcinogen, in several bottles. Perrier stated that it was an isolated incident of a worker having made a mistake in filtering and that the spring itself was unpolluted. The incident ultimately led to the worldwide withdrawal of the product, some 160 million bottles of Perrier. Perrier is available in 750 ml, 330 ml, and 200 ml glass bottles in Europe, as well as in 330 ml cans. In other markets, the 250 ml can is also available. Perrier bottles all have a distinctive 'teardrop' shape and are a signature green colour. In August 2001, the company introduced a new bottling format using polyethylene terephthalate to offer Perrier in plastic, a change that was researched for 11 years to determine which material would best help retain both the water's flavour and its purported "50 million bubbles."
Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from an unprecedented distance of approximately 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles, 40.5 AU), as part of that day's Family Portrait series of images of the Solar System.
In the photograph, Earth's apparent size is less than a pixel; the planet appears as a tiny dot against the vastness of space, among bands of sunlight reflected by the camera. Commissioned by NASA and resulting from the advocacy of astronomer and author Carl Sagan, the photograph was interpreted in Sagan's 1994 book, Pale Blue Dot, as representing humanity's minuscule and ephemeral place amidst the cosmos.
The photograph was captured by Voyager 1, a spacecraft launched in 1977 with the initial purpose of studying the outer Solar System. After fulfilling its primary mission and as it ventured out of the Solar System, the decision to turn its camera around and capture one last image of Earth emerged, in part due to Sagan's proposition. Over the years, the photograph has been revisited and celebrated on multiple occasions, with NASA acknowledging its anniversaries and presenting updated versions, enhancing its clarity and detail.

March 10 1990 US performs nuclear test at Nevada Test Site
The Nevada Test Site (NTS), 65 miles north of Las Vegas, was one of the most significant nuclear weapons test sites in the United States. Nuclear testing, both atmospheric and underground, occurred here between 1951 and 1992. After World War II, the U.S. government established the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to monitor the peacetime development of atomic science and technology. The 1950s became a period of rapid expansion for U.S atomic weapons. Fear of the Soviet Union increasing their atomic weapons, and the belief that building up nuclear arms could help establish U.S. power, contributed to this rapid expansion.
In 1950 the AEC considered many sites for U.S. nuclear weapons development and effects testing. They then selected the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range. On December 18, 1950, President Harry Truman authorized the establishment of a 680 square mile portion of the Range as the Nevada Proving Ground. Under the authority of President Truman, the AEC then designated, and managed, this land. In 1955, the name of the site was changed to the Nevada Testing Site. Overtime the site rapidly grew in size. The NTS acquired more land for testing in 1958, 1961, 1965, 1967, and in 1999.
Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (2 March 1931 – 30 August 2022) was a Soviet and Russian politician and statesman who served as the last leader of the Soviet Union from 1985 to the country's dissolution in 1991.

The three biggest companies in the U.S. tuna industry on Thursday pledged not to buy or sell fish caught using methods that kill or injure dolphins. The move surprised but delighted environmentalists who have been waging a fierce grass-roots campaign to ban fishing techniques that kill an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 dolphins a year.The first announcement came from H. J. Heinz Co. and its Long Beach subsidiary, StarKist Seafood Co., the world’s largest tuna canner. StarKist said that within three months, its products will carry labels promising “No harm to dolphins.” “StarKist will not purchase, process or sell any tuna caught in association with dolphins,” said Anthony J. F. O’Reilly, chairman of Heinz. The company said also that it would continue its practice of not buying tuna caught with gill or drift nets, which indiscriminately kill large numbers of marine animals. StarKist’s chief competitors rushed to match its pledge. Bumble Bee Seafoods and the Van Camp Seafood Co., which markets Chicken of the Sea, made similar announcements only hours later. Van Camp and Bumble Bee are owned by foreign companies. Together, the three canners market about 75% of the tuna eaten in the United States. This country represents as much as half the world market for canned tuna.

Lithuanians attempt to block a Soviet tank near the main broadcasting facility in Vilnius on January 13, 1991.
In the early hours of January 13, 1991, hundreds of Lithuanians headed to the TV tower in Vilnius, where they would make a stand against Soviet troops deployed to crush the Baltic state's bid to reclaim independence. More than a dozen died, and hundreds were wounded. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the subsequent collapse of communist satellite regimes in Eastern Europe made it clear that Moscow's power was waning, and the Soviet Union would in fact dissolve by the end of 1991. Months before that -- but only after the Vilnius bloodshed in January -- Moscow would recognize the independence of the Baltic nations. Lithuania has designated January 13 as Freedom Defenders Day, paying tribute to the unarmed civilians who stood down Soviet forces in Vilnius. "It's our victory day," said Marius Laurinavicius, a senior analyst at the Vilnius Institute for Policy Analysis. "Of course, it was a tragic day because 14 people were killed, but we defended our independence."
A Lithuanian woman remonstrates with a Soviet soldier in Vilnius in January 1991.
On March 11, 1990, Lithuania's legislative Supreme Council voted in favor of declaring independence. The Soviet Union, under President Mikhail Gorbachev, used economic and political pressure to try to thwart the bid to end nearly a half-century of rule from Moscow, which had annexed the Baltic states in 1940.
When that failed, Soviet troops garrisoned in Vilnius were deployed on January 11, 1991. Crack KGB units had been flown in days earlier. Their task: To take control of key sites in the capital -- an effort that climaxed with the attack on the TV broadcast tower and sole TV station on January 13.
Lithuanians flocked to the site in the early hours, determined to stop the Soviet troops from taking control. Soviet tanks plowed into the unarmed demonstrators, who had been using their bodies to try to protect the building, according to media reports, before soldiers fired on the crowd.
Soviet tanks, engulfed in a cloud of tear gas, roll through a barricade of cars surrounding Lithuania's main broadcast station in Vilnius in January 1991.
Fourteen civilians were killed by Soviet forces during those fateful days in January 1991, Lithuanian officials would later say, all but one of them during the storming of the state television station and TV tower. More than 700 were wounded. It was the bloodiest attack on peaceful citizens in the Soviet Union since troops killed demonstrators in Tbilisi, the Georgian capital, in 1989. The television and radio stations, which broadcast throughout the republic, went off the air after the assault. Over the years, Lithuania -- which joined NATO and the European Union in 2004, along with fellow Baltic states Latvia and Estonia -- sought to bring those responsible for the bloodshed to justice. In March 2019, after a three-year trial, a Lithuanian court found 67 former Soviet officers and officials guilty of war crimes over the events of 1991. The highest ranking was former Soviet Defense Minister Dmitry Yazov, who was still alive at the time. All were sentenced to 10 years, all except one in absentia as Russia refused to cooperate with the court. Gorbachev also declined to testify.

Holger Czukay "Ode to Perfume"
Holger Schüring (24 March 1938 – 5 September 2017), known professionally as Holger Czukay, was a German musician best known as a co-founder of the krautrock group Can. Described as "successfully bridg[ing] the gap between pop and the avant-garde", Czukay was also notable for having created early important examples of ambient music, for having explored "world music" well before the term was coined, and for having been a pioneer of sampling.
Holger Czukay
Czukay was born on 24 March 1938 in the Free City of Danzig (present-day Gdańsk, Poland), from which his family was expelled after World War II. Due to the turmoil of the war, Czukay's primary education was limited. One pivotal early experience, however, was working, when still a teenager, at a radio repair-shop, where he became fond of the aural qualities of radio broadcasts (anticipating his use of shortwave radio broadcasts as musical elements) and became familiar with the rudiments of electrical repair and engineering. Czukay studied music under Karlheinz Stockhausen from 1963 to 1966 and then worked for a while as a music teacher. Initially Czukay had little interest in rock music, but this changed when a student played him the Beatles' 1967 song "I Am the Walrus", a psychedelic rock single with an unusual musical structure and blasts of AM radio noise. This opened his ears to music by rock experimentalists such as The Velvet Underground and Frank Zappa.

Maas bought his first set of turntables at the age of 17, and played his very first DJ set in 1982 at a party in his friend's home. The beginning of his career consisted mostly of gigs around Germany playing "top 40" records with the occasional techno record sneaked in, but it was to be another 6 years from his debut DJ performance before he would perform his first official all-techno set. In 1992, Maas was introduced to the early German rave scene, and he went on to DJ at many different rave events both in Germany and elsewhere, earning a name in the electronic underground scene. In a career spanning over 30 years, Maas has been collaborated with and remixed many artists such as Paul McCartney, Depeche Mode, Finley Quaye, Fatboy Slim, Garbage, Jamiroquai, Madonna, Moby, Moloko, Muse, Roger Sanchez and Tori Amos. In 2016, Maas and his producing partner James Teej, received a Grammy nomination (the second in Maas's career) for their work on Paul McCartney & Wings' track "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five".

A white elephant is a possession that its owner cannot dispose of without extreme difficulty, and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness. In modern usage, it is a metaphor used to describe an object, construction project, scheme, business venture, facility, etc. considered expensive but without equivalent utility or value relative to its capital (acquisition) and/or operational (maintenance) costs.
A white elephant (also albino elephant) is a rare kind of elephant, but not a distinct species. Although often depicted as snow white, their skin is typically a soft reddish-brown, turning a light pink when wet. They have fair eyelashes and toenails. The traditional "white elephant" is commonly misunderstood as being albino, but the Thai term, chang samkhan, actually translates as 'auspicious elephant', being "white" in terms of an aspect of purity. As of 2023, Myanmar has ten white elephants. The king of Thailand also keeps a number of white elephants, eleven of which are still alive as of 2016.
Siddhartha Gautama, most commonly referred to as the Buddha ('the awakened one'), was a wandering ascetic and religious teacher who lived in South Asia (the Himalayan foothils of present-day Nepal and the eastern Ganges plain of northern India), during the 6th or 5th century BCE and founded Buddhism. According to Buddhist legends, he was born in Lumbini, in what is now Nepal, to royal parents of the Shakya clan, but renounced his home life to live as a wandering ascetic. After leading a life of mendicancy, asceticism, and meditation, he attained nirvana at Bodh Gaya in what is now India. The Buddha then wandered through the lower Indo-Gangetic Plain, teaching and building a monastic order. Buddhist tradition holds he died in Kushinagar and reached parinirvana ("final release from conditioned existence" According to Buddhist tradition, the Buddha taught a Middle Way between sensual indulgence and severe asceticism, leading to freedom from ignorance, craving, rebirth, and suffering. His core teachings are summarized in the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, a training of the mind that includes ethical training and kindness toward others, and meditative practices such as sense restraint, mindfulness, dhyana (meditation proper). Another key element of his teachings are the concepts of the five skandhas and dependent origination, describing how all dharmas (both mental states and concrete 'things') come into being, and cease to be, depending on other dharmas, lacking an existence on their own svabhava)
A couple of centuries after his death, he came to be known by the title Buddha, which means 'Awakened One' or 'Enlightened One'. His teachings were compiled by the Buddhist community in the Vinaya, his codes for monastic practice, and the Sutta Piṭaka, a compilation of teachings based on his discourses. These were passed down in Middle Indo-Aryan dialects through an oral tradition. Later generations composed additional texts, such as systematic treatises known as Abhidharma, biographies of the Buddha, collections of stories about his past lives known as Jataka tales, and additional discourses, i.e., the Mahayana sutras.

Lucha libre, meaning "freestyle wrestling" or literally translated as "free fight") is the term for the style of professional wrestling originating in Mexico. Since its introduction to Mexico in the early 20th century, it has developed into a unique form of the genre, characterized by colorful masks, rapid sequences of holds and maneuvers, and "high-flying" maneuvers, some of which have been adopted in the United States, Japan, and elsewhere. The wearing of masks has developed special significance, and matches are sometimes contested in which the loser must permanently remove his mask, which is a wager with a high degree of weight attached. Tag team wrestling is especially prevalent in lucha libre, particularly matches with three-member teams, called trios.
