I have my own list of individuals for June 2023 and I even added a specific date of prediction for these individuals for this month too. Leon Cooper: 02/28/1930 – 06/01/2023 Ken Jacobs: 05/25/1933 – 06/06/2023 Hans Albert: 02/08/1921 – 06/12/2023 Bud Anderson: 01/13/1922 – 06/16/2023 Joel Grey: 04/11/1932 – 06/17/2023 Frederick Wiseman: 01/01/1930 – 06/17/2023 Marita Camacho Quirós: 03/10/1911 – 06/20/2023 Lloyd Geering: 02/26/1918 – 06/21/2023 Alan Greenspan: 03/06/1926 – 06/22/2023 (Sub for both, Alan Greenspan and Charles Peters is Tony Bennett: 08/03/1926 – 06/22/2023) Lou Carnesecca: 01/05/1925 – 06/24/2023 Marion Ross: 10/25/1928 – 06/26/2023 (Subs for Marion Ross is Ann Blyth: 08/16/1928 – 06/26/2023, and Sheila Jordan: 11/14/1928 – 06/26/2023) Josip Manolić: 03/22/1920 – 06/27/2023 Charles Peters: 12/22/1926 – 06/29/2023 The reason I included the birth years 1911, 1918, 1920, 1921, 1925, 1926, 1932, and 1933 to be grouped together for this month is because the last two digits of these years reminded me of the last two digits of flfleet numbers for older buses from a transit system in my area that were still in service a little more than a decade ago when there were gaps between units for their fleet numbers and the reason I included 1928 and 1930 to be grouped in this month too is because 1928 was the year my paternal grandfather was born while 1930 was the year my late maternal grandfather was born. Coincidentally, 1933 was also the year my late maternal grandmother was born.

Humphry Davy died on this day 194 years ago, aged 50. - Davy was a chemist and inventor- his most well-known invention was the Davy lamp, created in 1815- this was intended for use in coal mines to minimize the risk of explosions due to the fire interacting with natural gas. - Humphry also developed an early version of the arc lamp, a precursor to the incandescent lightbulb. There are varying reports on when he first demonstrated it- these range from 1802 to 1809. - Davy would also use electricity to isolate elements from minerals for the first time- there was sodium and potassium in 1807, and boron, magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium in 1808. In 1810, Davy confirmed that chlorine was an element and not a compound (and gave it its name) and did the same with the recently-discovered iodine in 1813. - Davy was knighted in 1812, and would go on a tour of Europe following this- alongside fellow electrochemist Michael Faraday. He went to Paris to accept an award Napoleon bestowed upon him (a predecessor to the Volta Prize), given to him by Empress Josephine, and then went to Italy and Germany. They planned to visit the Ottoman Empire, but Napoleon's return from exile on Elba forced them back to England. - Davy was made president of the Royal Society in 1820, a position he held until 1827. - Davy had a stroke in 1826, and a second in February of 1829, which he died of complications from it three months later.

Peter Higgs is 94.

My Opinion on unvalidated SCs: - Ese Gebelek, 128, claims to have 400 grandchildren??? That's not the only thing I doubt. Looks more like 88 rather than 128. Frail. - Swami Sivananda, 126, probably fake. Looks frail, but can still walk. He has had an incredibly healthy lifestyle, diet, and has lead a very fit lifestyle. I think there's a miniscule chance he's legit, but I highly doubt it. Unless he beat the 1 in a trillion odds, combined with a super healthy lifestyle... I doubt he's 126. - Manuel Garcia Hernandez, 126, fake. Looks 96, not 126. I'd be surprised if he's even 100. Frail, but mobile. - Marcelino Abad Tolentino, 123, fake. Documentary done on him at 119, and he could still do farm work. Probably 93. Small, but not frail. - Maria Gomes dos Reis, 122, if she was 116 I'd say her case was strong, but 122 is very hard to believe. Claims to have documentation, but I haven't seen anything yet. I'd say plausible, but very unlikely. Still, I wouldn't call her fake yet. - Andrelino Vieira da Silva, 122, more like 72. He's 122, but only if he's celebrating his birthday every 7 months. Probably mixed up with his grandfather. I'd be dumbfounded if this guy is even 100. Mobile. - Sebastiao Batista dos Santos, 121, he SOUNDS like he's the age claimed, but that'd where it ends. Probably more like 81 or 91 rather than 121. I doubt a 121 year old man could be that mobile. - Batuli Lamichhane, 120, Strongest case for someone over 118 on the gerontology fandom site. Has lots of documentation and a 1934 census record. She's the age claimed, I'd say. I talked to her great-grandson on Facebook. Has become very frail these past 3 or so years. - Zhang Meiyu, 117, likely fraudster. - Amelia Macoo, 117, also likely a fraudster. - Rosa Velandia, 116, I did some research on this case and I seemed to run into a lot of dead ends. Didn't find any evidence against her though. Should be investigated by professionals in my opinion. Might actually be 116. - Vicente Landaeta, 116, another Venezuelan claimaint??? This guy looks more like 76 than 116. I don't even think he's 95. Probably a fraudster. - Francisca Conceicao, 115, looks the age claimed. Not enough proof. However she could walk unassisted at 113, so I doubt she's the age claimed. Still possible though, as other SCs could walk unassisted at 113. Unlikely but possible. - Jose Flores Flores, 115, I've never seen any evidence against his case, but 115 almost 116 is very advanced for a male. Apparently, on 31st of December 2022 he was doing fine. I tried messaging his son on Facebook with no reply. - Anonymous Male, 115, considered "plausible" by several gerontologists. Need more documentation. Looks very frail. - Elias Chavez Alvarez, 114, the nursing home he lives at says he's 114, but his relatives claim he's only in his 90s. Has memories of the Mexican War from 1910-1920. I'm stumped on this case, especially since several sources cite that he has no family, but I think it's still an open investigation. Looks extremely frail. - Seliman Bandang, 113, Looks too young to be an SC, but you never know. Looks can be deceiving. Needs more proof, and real proof too, not some "Malaysian Book of Records". Can walk on his own, but uses a cane/wheelchair. - Otilio Dominguez Santos, 112, I'd bet dimes to dollars he's 112. Tons of documentation, but unfortunately not enough to meet standards. Talked to his great granddaughter on Facebook and he is doing fine. Looks frail, but still seems healthy. Lots of life left in his eyes. Could be the next Jiroemon Kimura if he gets validated. - Lorenzo Cayunao Millan, 112, keeps changing his birthdate. First it was May 15th, now June 17th. Considering the dates of birth of his older brother and younger sister, there's no way he could've been born when he claims he was. More likely 102, and not 112. Doesn't appear to have signs of extreme aging. - Carlos Julio Rincon Garzon, 112, researchers found he was more likely born in 1915 and not 1910. Looks strong still. Who do you think of this list is the most likely to be true? I'd have to go with Otilio Dominguez Santos, first, followed by Batuli Lamichhane, Jose Flores Flores, Rosa Velandia, and the Anonymous man from Brazil. I highly doubt any of the others are the age claimed. Maria Gomes dos Reis and Seliman Bandang have a slight chance, but nowhere near the 5 that I mentioned above. Just my thoughts. Let's hear yours...

Diego can like whatever post he wants to like. What does it matter to you? @Predictor you having a crummy day, and taking it out on him? I don't recall seeing in the guidelines that it's against the rules to like a post from years ago. If that's the kind of thing that upsets you, you must either be spoiled rotten, or have some serious issues you need to work on. Yikes.

Back on tour - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12114161/Rhod-Gilbert-admits-hes-grateful-alive-stage-four-head-neck-cancer-diagnosis.html Looks like he's making a good recovery

I could see him going on July 4.

Poor man… If ever I reach this level of ailments, I’d beg for someone to unplug me. But maybe this if because I’m not a Chinese politician… anyway, What is this mark on his right cheek ?

Wow! Didn't see that coming although Rourke was a junkie in the 1980s. Made The Smiths surprisingly funky. RIP.

The fact she reached 90 is a miracle in itself, I can’t see her reaching 2024 considering all the News about her health. If ever she does, I would say she deserves a spot on thé official list but I don’t think this is the Kind of picks that the committee is interested in

Rita Lee dead at 75.

Steve Carlson, American ice hockey forward well known as one of the enthusiastically aggressive Hanson Brothers in the hockey film "Slap Shot", is 67 today. Mark Snow, American composer who works for film and television best known for the iconic theme music for sci-fi television series "The X-Files", is 76 today. Snow also composed music for the series "Blue Bloods", "Millennium", "One Tree Hill", "Smallville" and "The Guardian". His wife, Mary Glynn Daly, is the sister of actors Tim and Tyne Daly.

Rupert Grint, British film and television actor who rose to prominence for his role as Harry Potter's best friend Ron Weasley in the film series based on J.K. Rowling's books, is 34 today.  Harry M. Markowitz, American author, economist and educator who received the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his contribution to the field of financial economics, is 95 today.

Already had a full Telegraph obit 30 mins ago... pre-prepped obviously. Whether it was purely age related or they knew he was ill, who knows. I imagine the latter though. I must make a mental note to make friends with someone in the Telegraph or Guardian obits department... that way I might actually score inside the top 5 on the DDP one year.

In my defence, I was at work all day and it was a pretty obscure name, so obscure in fact there's no mention of it on Google.

Hearing that as well. Hero of 1963 cup final against Leicester (2 goals).

Screamin' Kevin Mahoney, vocalist (I think calling him a singer may be taking it a bit far) with eighties hardcore punk band Siege has died of unknown causes . He was a contemporary of the similarly over excitable and also recently deceased screamer Seth Putman.

Nothing at all sad about the record! just that there is rather more of me now than there was back in my disco days Ah I can see that, know the feeling well! Best regards Syd
