"The Ferrari formula 1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the UK Government's Youth Opportunity Scheme and employ people from Liverpool.
The decision to hire them followed a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from the Liverpool area were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of euros worth of high tech equipment.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown went on record as saying this was a bold move by the Ferrari management which demonstrated the international recognition of the UK under New Labour.
As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari thought they had the advantage over every team.
However Ferrari got more than they bargained for. At the first practice session, the Liverpool pit crew successfully changed the tyres in less than 6 seconds. But within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed, re badged, and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team for 8 bottles of Stella, a kilo of speed and some photos of Lewis Hamilton's bird in the shower.

A man was driving down the road and ran out of gas. Just at that moment, a bee flew in his window.
The bee said, "What seems to be the problem"?
"I'm out of gas."
The bee told the man to wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the man watched as an entire swarm of bees flew to his car and into his gas tank. After a few minutes, the bees flew out .
"Try it now," said one bee.
The man turned the ignition key and the car started right up.

'A NEW DIRECTION'
You figure it out. I have a headache.
Just in case you ever wondered what us retired folk get up to all day……….
The question is:
What Do Retired People Do All Day?
Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop.
We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
We went up to him and said, 'Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'
He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tyres
So my wife called him a baboon. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age
A few days ago I was having some work done at my local garage. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten.
We all looked at each other and another customer asked, 'What is a seven-hundred-ten?'
She replied, 'You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one..'
She replied that she did not know exactly what it was, but this piece had always been there.
The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like.
She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car which had its hood up and asked 'is there a 710 on this car?'
She pointed and said, 'Of course, its right there.'
If you're not sure what a 710 is look below!

To my darling husband,
Before you return from your overseas trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me. I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your beloved Ferrari. I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart. I am enclosing a picture for you. I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.
Your loving wife, XXX

Huge collections like the one in Portugal don't just happen. Cars are accumulated by someone with a purpose …
http://www.sportscarmarket.com/articles/archives/1110
By Tom Cotter
One day this January, I received at least ten forwarded email attachments to a web site that featured photos of an eclectic collection of old cars in a decaying building. For the next week it seemed the web was literally blanketed with these images, each giving a similar story:
"Imagine moving into an old farmhouse in the Portuguese countryside, and, while walking around "the lower 40" of your new investment, you come across an old building. Curious as to what may be inside, you pry open the rusted door and for the first time in decades, one of the largest hordes of old cars ever discovered is exposed to sunlight."
I didn't believe that story for a moment.
Huge collections of cars don't just happen. Cars are accumulated—sometimes lovingly, sometimes not—by someone with a purpose. I was sure this collection was not assembled by accident; nobody would simply sell an old farm and fail to mention to the new owners the stash of old cars in the barn.
I decided to investigate. I searched the web and ultimately came to an English language dead end at the Mazda Miata Club Norway web site. But I kept going, sending emails in English and hoping that some kind recipient would take a few moments to answer some questions. All indications were that the cars were hidden somewhere in Portugal, so that's where I focused my investigation.
Through a Cobra buddy, Don Silawski of Washington, DC, I contracted with a Portuguese translator, Clara Dixon. Clara would be my tour guide and try to unearth some of the naked truth regarding this huge stash. Clara also checked the Internet for news stories that may have been written in Portuguese newspapers about the cars. I was beginning to feel like a CIA sleuth…
I must admit that for me, a lifelong barn-finder, a collection this large would be the discovery of a lifetime. My 15-year-old son, Brian, even tried to convince me to hop a flight to Portugal to see if I could actually find the collection myself.
I was eventually able to contact the photographer who was contracted by the cars' owner to shoot the photographs that would ultimately appear on millions of car-guy computer monitors beginning on January 20.
Manuel Menezes Morais shot the photos, but he was sworn to secrecy about the cars' location and the owner's name. However, he was able to obtain permission from the elusive owner to give me the following information:
The owner of the cars was a car dealer in the 1970s and 1980s, and decided to save the more interesting cars that came through his doors. When the barn was full, he padlocked and "soldered" the doors shut. (Perhaps welding was too permanent.)
Web sites varied on the number of cars: 58, 100, and 180 were speculated. According to Morais, there are 180 cars in the barn.
And, aw shucks, none of the cars is for sale.
Clara was able to determine that the cars are located somewhere in the area of Sintra, near Lisbon. I asked Morais if he could ask the owner if he had a favorite car. "He has lots of good cars in very good condition," he says, "but he loves the Lancia Aurelia B24. He has two."
I would ask that a European-based SCM subscriber pick this story up and help fill in the blanks. And let me know what you find (tomgcotter@roadrunner.com). I'd like to include the true story in a future In the Barn book, as well as in SCM.
So, what's in there?

In one of the biggest raids in its history, the Income Tax Department on Thursday carried out searches at properties connected with Tamil channel Jaya TV in Tamil Nadu.
Chennai: In one of the biggest raids in its history, the Income Tax Department on Thursday carried out searches at properties connected with Tamil channel Jaya TV in Tamil Nadu.
The raids were conducted over suspected tax evasion.
AIADMK mouthpiece Namadhu MGR as well as other groups including Surana, Sunil, Puducherry Sree Lakshmi and Wind Subramanian.
As per details available exclusively with Times Now, some 215 properties and 355 people are under the lens of the I-T department.
Around 1800 officials including six commissioners were part of the massive raids, which began simultaneously at 67 locations around 5.30 am this morning.
The scope of raids soon expanded to 187 locations.
As per reports, I-T officials also visited VK Sasikala's nephew, TTV Dhinakaran, and raided his residence. Sasikala's brother Dhivakaran too was visited by I-T officials.
Addressing the media as the raids were underway, Dhinakaran lashed out at the Centre, stating that the raids were nothing but 'political vendetta'.
"The Centre and state are colluding against Sasikala and me. Edappadi Palaniswami threating us to acquire Jaya TV. People are watching everything. They understand what is going on. If the Centre thinks they can destroy us by conducting such raids, they are day-dreaming, Dhinakaran told the media.
The simultaneous searches were conducted in the office of Jaya TV, Jazz Cinemas, at the home of regional actress Ilavarasi's son Vivek and a few other places which are suspected to be shell holdings of VK Sasikala. The allegation covers aspects like shell companies, dubious investments, fund flow and fudging of accounts, income tax sources told PTI.
AIADMK Karnataka in-charge, Pugazhendi's house was also raided by Income Tax department in Bengaluru's Domlur.
The raids are a part of the 'Operation Clean Money' launched by the government to weed out black money. Shell companies connected to Jaya TV and Namadhu MGR are under scanner.
Tamil Nadu Government changes stand on Chennai-Salem Highway project Tamil Nadu government takes a u-turn in Chennai-Salem highway project and this is after Court's order. A few ministers have said that government will appeal Madras High Court order. Now the Chief Minister is saying that the government will abide by Court order. Watch!


A heliophile is defined as 'Any organism that is attracted to large amounts of sunlight'.
It's no sunrise that Swedes love the sun. For most part of the year, the weather is well…tolerable. But Summer is here and this post is dedicated to the ultimate summer sun worshiper.
Memes always pop up around spring describing Swedes love for the sun. The funniest are the lemur and meerkat ones.
If you visit your local park or beach you will greeted by such images. Hundreds of people flock to open areas to enjoy the summer sunshine. This year summer is here in full force and with it has come some scorching temperatures.
Heat waves have become a common phenomenon this summer. Just this week the National weather agency issued a class two alert for extremely high temperatures. With the sun rising at 04:00 a.m. and setting at 21:45 that's alot of hours of sunlight.
Since you'll be spending alot of time in the sun. I thought it would be good to give you a few sun safety tips.
1) Wear SUNSCREEN everyday! You wouldn't want to end up with a nasty sunburn and ruin part of your summer. I was a victim of sunburn last summer, because I thought I don't put any on at home and it didn't seem that hot. I WAS WRONG! You can even get sunburn on a cloudy day.
Source: giphy.com / Avoid getting sunburned!
2) Stay hydrated. DRINK lots of water. A handy student tip is always carry around an empty water bottle to fill up at any sink or water fountain. That way you don't have to keep buying mineral water.
3) Avoid being in the DIRECT SUNLIGHT between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. especially if you're not under shade or an umbrella.
4) COVER UP. Wear a hat and sunglasses to keep you protected from harmful UV Rays.
5) Watch out for TICKS or (fästing)! Lyme Disease is caused by bacteria that is spread by ticks. I had heard of this previously before coming to Sweden but didn't think it was a real threat until a classmate of mine caught it. After a hike or a swim in the sea always check yourself for tick bites. Check out this website for symptoms and call 1177 if you think you've been bitten.
Swedish Summer is here to stay. At least for a few months. So enjoy going to the beach, taking long hikes and making Summer memories.

From the land which Mr. Ginocchio claims as the place of his nativity came to discover of America, and since that time many of the worthy sons of Italy have sought and obtained homes in the new world. Prominent among the representatives of the latter in northern California is he whose name introduces this review, a well known member of the firm of Ginocchio Brothers, merchants of Jackson, Amador County. He was born in Italy, March 14, 1838, and is a representative of an old family of that land of blue skies and brilliant sunsets. His parents were Joseph and Rosalinda (Raggio) Ginocchio. His father was a manufacturer and one of the honored citizens of the community in which he resided. He died in the eighty-fourth year of his age, and his wife reached the age of ninety-seven years, retaining her mental and physical faculties to the day of her death. Both were devoted members of the Catholic Church, consistently adhering to that faith in the conduct of their lives. In their family were thirteen children, six of whom are still living.
Mr. Ginocchio, of this review, obtained his education in the land of his nativity, and when sixteen years of age the spirit of adventure prompted him to seek new scenes. He set sail for California and in January, 1853, arrived at Bear Valley, Mariposa County, where he obtained a placer claim and took out considerable gold. Owing to his youth, for he had just left college, he was allowed only a half claim by the miners, but he continued his search for the precious metal at Coulterville, Mariposa County, until 1857, when the Fraser River excitement drew him to that locality. He lost all he had, however, in that venture, and returning to California he resumed mining on Mugson Creek, where he found a very fine nugget.
He did not, however, meet with very good success at that place in his mining ventures and accordingly turned his attention to merchandising which he continued in Montezuma, Tuolumne, for two years. He then sold out with the intention of engaging in business in Copperopolis, but was persuaded by a friend to come to Jackson, where his uncle, E. Bruno and C. Curotto were in business together. Mr. Ginocchio purchased an interest in their business and the firm carried on operations for two years, when our subject purchased Mr. Curotto's interest, remaining in partnership with his uncle for some time. Subsequently he became the sole proprietor and in 1866 he sent for his brother Alphonso to join him in the business. The partnership relations between them have since been maintained, each owning an undivided half of the store, which under their capable management had honorable dealings, has steadily grown until they are at the head of the largest mercantile establishment in the County of Amador. Their store and warehouse, which is more than a block in depth, are stocked with goods from garret to cellar and embrace every line of merchandise that is in demand in Amador County. In fact, their store would be a credit to a much larger place than Jackson. Their sales are very extensive, as they draw a large trade from the surrounding country, their straightforward business methods commending them to the confidence of all. The brothers also have large and valuable mining interests and are connected with the new bank operated under the name of the Mercantile Trust Company of San Francisco.
The Ginocchio Brothers enjoys a most enviable reputation in trade circles throughout northern California. They are men of enterprise and marked executive ability, and their keen discernment in business affairs has enabled them to so conduct their affairs as to gain a handsome financial return; yet they are widely known for their generosity and for their kindliness to their customers in not pressing a claim when it would have to be met at great inconvenience by the debtor. The younger brother has never married, but Enrico Ginocchio was united in wedlock, in July, 1871, to Miss Julia Raggio, a native of Italy and a daughter of John Raggio, of that country. Their union was blessed with four daughters and a son, namely: Joseph, a young man of excellent ability who died in 1899, at the age of nineteen years; Rosa, the wife of Frank Padesta; Lena, the wife of Frank Bergin; and Henrietta and Julia, who are students at college. The parents have a beautiful home, which Mr. Ginocchio erected in 1891. They are members of the Catholic Church and enjoy the high regard of a large number of friends and acquaintances. Mr. Ginocchio deserves great credit for his success in life, and it has been gained entirely by his own well directed efforts and capable management. Adapting himself readily to the manners and customs of the new world, he has overcome all difficulties and obstacles in his path and today stands upon a plain of affluence commanding the respect and admiration of his fellow men.

Austrian Military Barracks in Lviv – Part I
From the end of the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century
After the Habsburg Monarchy began to rule Galicia, a large number of land holdings became property of the Austrian military. This is no wonder as the military required considerable resources such as fields, mills, magazines (ammunition storehouses), and barracks (Ger: Kaserne/Caserne; Polish: koszary; Ukr: касарні, казарми, кошари).
Until the end of the eighteenth century, there were no specially built barracks in Lviv. When the Austrian military appeared in the city in 1772, they used the premises of Lviv's monasteries. This coincided with Josephinism – a series of reforms introduced by Habsburg ruler Joseph II, some of which targeted the Catholic Church and banned several monastic orders. As a result, many of the Lviv's monasteries were dissolved and their land and buildings were taken by the city.
Below I've gathered information about the oldest barracks in Lviv together with plenty of historical map fragments which show where these barracks appeared and how their territories were transformed throughout the years. It also allows us to follow how the barracks were marked on the maps, which were created in German or Polish – the two official languages of Galicia. The barracks were typically named after the type of military personnel that was quartered in them, but also took on names which referenced the former owners of the territory or were named in honor of a member of a Habsburg dynasty. Interestingly, we can also see changes in German orthography – most noticeably, the different spellings of the word "Kaserne" and the use of the letter "ſ."
Artillery Barracks
Alternative names: Rothes Kloster Artillerie Kaserne; Artillerie Caserne; Koszary czerwony klasztor
Formerly: Territory of Collegium of the Theatines, aka "The Red Monastery" (1738-1746)

The first permanent barracks in Lviv were the reconstructed premises of the so-called Red Monastery – the Collegium of the Theatines. The name Red Monastery (Ger: Rothes Kloster; Pol: Czerwony klasztor) came from the color of the roof.
The collegium building was built in 1738-1746 by architects Nicolas Salvi and Gaetano Chiaveri. In 1785 as a result of Josephinism, the Theatines were evicted and the building was given to the military to be used as an artillery barracks.
The complex, in addition to the barracks, included a gunpowder magazine in the renovated St. Wojciech Roman Catholic Church and two gunpowder magazines near the foot of the High Castle. The front wing of the barracks was rebuilt by the military after 1818 and the building took on the style of Classicism. The structure was used as a barracks until 1989. Today it houses units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

1878 | k.k. Strafhaus
Тhe so-called Small Barracks were erected on the site of an Armenian women's monastery built in 1629-1637. In 1671 the monastery buildings were given to the Theatines, while the Holy Cross Church (no. 73 in first map above) and cemetery remained with the Armenians. The following century the Theatines sold the buildings to the Order of the Lazarists, also known as the "Missionaries," who c. 1744 rebuilt the monastery and completed the Church of St. Kazimierz (no. 50 in first map above).
In 1782, during the reforms of Emperor Joseph II, the Missionaries were evicted and the requisitioned premises were first used as a military hospital and later were transformed into a garrison prison and barracks. After the new Large Barracks were built nearby, the Church of St. Kazimierz and former monastery buildings housed a military court with its own prison – a provincial penalty house (marked as "dermalen Provinzial Strafhaus" & "k.k. Strafhaus" in German, and "Dom karny wojskowy" in Polish). In June 1941 the prison was a place of mass extermination by the NKVD. Today these buildings belong to the University of Internal Affairs.

In 1824, on the site of the dismantled Armenian Holy Cross Church (No. 73 in first map above "Kościół św. Krzyża Ormiański"), which was in the courtyard of the former monastery, the Large Barracks were built in the style of the Austrian classicism. At the beginning of the 20th century, the headquarters and the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the Imperial and Royal Galician Infantry Regiment No. 80 (K. u. K. Galizisches infanterieregiment Wilhelm Ernst Grossherzog von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach, Herzog zu Sachsen № 80) were housed there. About 70% of the personnel were Galician Ruthenians.
Today the building is owned by the city. The structure has retained its original layout with long corridors and semicircular vaults, as well as its stairwells from the first half of the nineteenth century.

Jabłonowski Barracks
Alternative names: Jabłonowskische Caserne; Grenadier Casernes; Koszary piechoty; Landwehr Kaserne
Formerly: Stanisław Jabłonowski's Palace and Park
Transferred to Austrian military: 1822; after 1848 palace reconstructed as caserne
Housed: Grenadier; later Infantry Regiment
Location: Palace – in front of 10-12 Rustaveli St.; Park and complex – between Rustaveli, Arkhypenka, Tarnavskoho Sts., and Petrushevycha Sq.

1844 | No. 31 Jablonowskische Kaserne
1863 | Jabłonowskische Caserne
1910 | Koszary piechoty
1911 | Landwehr Kas.
At the end of the seventeenth century Polish hetman Stanisław Jabłonowski acquired lands on the outskirts of Lviv and built a grand Baroque palace with a large park. In 1822 the palace became the property of the Austrian army. In 1832-1846 it was the residence of Governor Ferdynand Karol Józef Habsburg-Este. After the 1848 revolutions, the military was located here — the palace was redeveloped into barracks and the park into a parade ground for military exercises. In 1877 the first Regional Agriculture and Industrial Exhibition was held in the park.
Map of the exhibition (1877) showing the koszary (north is down)
In the 1880s the palace was reconstructed and became part of the largest barracks complex in Lviv. Units of the Austrian Landwehr (including for some time the 19th infantry regiment Landwehr "Lemberg") were stationed here. Other sources mention that from the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries it housed the headquarters and two battalions of k.u.k. Infanterieregiment "Freiherr von Georgi" Nr. 15. In 1914 the barracks housed the 55th infantry regiment of the Austrian army.
In the 1920s a large part of the territory was given to build housing for officers, which became known as the Officers' Colony. The former Austrian arena, which was used for training in bad weather, became a sporting complex.

From the seventeenth century, the area where the Archduke Ferdinand barracks complex would later be located was part of Balabanivka – the property and estate of the Balaban family, nobility with Ukrainian roots. The property of the Augustinian monks was located nearby – St. Anna's Garden, part of which would also become the property of the military.
The complex was built in 1839-1841. In addition to the main barracks building (40 Horodotska), the complex included a cadet school, parade grounds, provisions storehouses, a military bakery, ammunition magazines, and stables. From 1845 the barracks housed the 30th Regiment of Infantry. After the regiment was transferred to the newly built fortifications at the Citadel, the barracks were given to the artillery. A Cadet School was located in the adjacent barracks from 1840 to 1882. Just east of the main barracks building was as a military arena named Windisch-Graetz, which in the 1920s was used an electric tram depot. During the interwar period, the barracks were named after Józef Böhm and housed the 5th Regiment of Light Artillery. Since Soviet times it houses a military unit.
To this day, one of the side streets on the former territory is named Mahazynova (from Ger: magazin/Pol: magazyn (magazine)), and until the 1990s а neighboring street was named Proviantova (Ger: proviant/Pol: prowiant (provisions)) after the nearby military food depots.

Barracks built in: 1850-1856
Housed: Austrian 30th Infantry Regiment
Location: Hrabovskoho St.
Today: Since 1990 it houses a bank and office center
After the Revolutions of 1848, the Austrian government ordered the great cities of the empire to build structures for artillery and military warehouses. For this purpose the Lviv citadel was built in 1850-56 on the strategic Kalicha and Wronowska Hills. The fortification included four round towers-bastions and a three-storey defense barracks flanked by square bastions.
The barracks housed the Austrian 30th Infantry Regiment. In 1864-65, participants of the Polish January uprising were held in the citadel prison cells. In November 1918, the Citadel was one of the main outposts in the defence of the capital of the West Ukrainian People's Republic. During the interwar period, the 19th infantry regiment was stationed here. In 1941-1944, the Nazis converted the territory into a concentration camp for Soviet, French, Belgian, and Italian prisoners of war.

Behcet's disease (BD) is a systemic inflammatory condition characterized by autoinflammatory and vasculitic clinical features including recurrent oral aphthosis, genital ulceration, skin, eye, neurological, and vascular inflammation. It is usually diagnosed between 20 and 40 years of age, but pediatric cases of BD were also reported before the age of 16 years in 4%–26% of cases. Early diagnosis in children is challenging due to the insidious nature of the disease and the low sensitivity of adult criteria in the paediatric population.
There are 17 sets of diagnosis/classification criteria for BD starting from Curth's in 1946 to the revised International Criteria for BD (ICBD) in 2014. From 1990 to 2004, many studies evaluated the performance of existing diagnosis/classification criteria for BD. Among all these studies, the International Study Group (ISG) criteria  had a high specificity for diagnosis of BD. Hence, it is widely used as classification criterion for adults. In 2014, revised International Classifications Criteria for BD (revised ICBD) with variable performance was published for adults with BD.
Recently, the paediatric BD (PEDBD) classification criteria have been developed for children. A paediatric criterion for BD 2015 (PEDBD) is a recently introduced classification criterion for BD in a paediatric group with promising sensitivity. The difference from revised ICBD is the exclusion of pathergy test and the weight given to each clinical feature. The new international PEDBD classification also demonstrated a higher sensitivity (91.7%) but lower specificity (42.9%) in comparison to the ISG criteria.
In this context, the present study by Chandran and Balan  evaluating the performance of the ISG, revised ICBD, and PEDBD 2015 is relevant. They included 17 children who were diagnosed with BD and 8 children who had symptoms that mimic BD. The sensitivity and specificity of each criterion were determined. They found that ICBD criteria have higher sensitivity than PEDBD criteria and ISG criteria have higher specificity compared to PEDBD and revised ICBD. However, it is worth noting that as they had included 8 children who mimic BD in their analysis, the results would have been altered.
Contrary to this study, Batu and et al. determined the performance of different classification criteria of BD. They included 68 BD (disease onset ≤16 years; 44.1% male) and 90 control patients. The sensitivity and specificity of PEDBD/ISG criteria were 73.5%/52.9% and 97.7%/100%, respectively. They concluded that the PEDBD criteria showed better sensitivity than ISG criteria. These results show that the latest PEDBD criteria still have to be revised and its performance in different sets of patients and controls and in different ethnicity needs to be tested.
It was anticipated that the proposed PEDBD classification criteria will undergo further revision in order to include specific symptoms and signs of BD in response to new information. Such changes would be incorporated if they resulted in a demonstrable and objective improvement in homogeneity of the categories in the classification.
As the present study had involved small number of children with BD, no meaningful conclusion can be drawn. However, the study does underscore the need for revision of existing classification criteria of BD to enable early recognition of children with this condition.

The idea came to Alden B. Dow as he sat quietly in an auditorium, watching the conductor and musicians performing in concert. He wondered if there might be a way to enhance the enjoyment of a musical performance by adding color, light, and movement to the experience. He began experimenting in the Game Room of his home, putting up a curtain of translucent polyethylene made by the Dow Chemical Company. He watched his children and their friends play behind the screen and cast shadows while he added different colored lights.
From the little stage of the Game Room, he took his yet unnamed invention to the larger auditorium of the new Grace A. Dow Library in Midland. In March of 1956, the audience attending "Impressionism in Music" heard the music of Debussy, Shostakovitch, and others played by pianist Leo Podolsky, and watched as ballet dancers performed in shadow behind a 40-foot wide polyethylene screen. Mr. Dow was at a control panel off stage, synchronizing the lights and mixing colors with the music and the dancers' movements.
National newspapers and magazines published stories about the new art form, which inspired many people to write to Mr. Dow for advice in setting up their own Somnophonics productions. In November 1959 a third concert incorporating Dream Sound, "Piano Magic," was held at the Grace A. Dow Library. Scripts and notes for two other productions exist, but unfortunately there is no record of them ever having been performed.

This memory stuff weighs heavy on my mind.
I think about it all the time.Mom's dementia and my sister's long battle with Alzheimer's (Nel passed away last March 28th) are constant reminders of just how fragile our minds and memories are.
"Have you always been as strong as you are now?" I asked.
And, if you knew PaPa (the name we grandkids called mom's dad) like I did, you knew when he told you to do something, it wasn't an option.
Her answer made me think of my daughters, Tovi and Lissi.
Before I publish this blog, I want them to know their dad believes they are heavenly angels, too, just like their grandmother.
If my daughters remember nothing else about me, I want them to remember that I know they are angels from heaven … that they do everything right.
I have been a believer since the day they were born.
My prayer is, like mom, they will always believe it, too. And,no matter what, never forget it.
Posted in family, humor, life, love, personal and tagged angel, caregiver, caregiving, dementia, elderly parent, memory, mom. Bookmark the permalink.
If anyone earned their wings it certainly is Nel and Helen! We are all so blessed to have each other. Angels are all around us. As always, I love to read what you have written. I can just hear Helen. It all sounds just like her.
What an absolutely beautiful post and I do hope you make sure your girls see this .. could there be any gift greater than knowing Dad thinks they do everything right? I think not.
I agree 100% those two daughters of yours are angels in our midst! I regret that I never had the chance to meet Nell and have not met your mom either…but from all accounts..Tovi and Lissi came by their wings honestly!

Forest for Launceston
Do you want to be part of a new project to create a wildlife haven in Launceston? Well, now's your chance.
Launceston Community Development Trust (LCDT) are working with a volunteer-led group passionate about the environment and the wellbeing of the community to create an open space and woodland while connecting the community to nature and its local wildlife.
The vision is for this to be one of many open spaces for Launceston to enjoy, while promoting woodland activities and creating a haven for people in our community to connect, socialise and have a positive impact on the environment.
There will be two phases to the project - phase 1 will see the proposed space cleared and made safe for the community, while phase 2 will focus on reintroducing plant species and creating a woodland and wildflower meadow.
But as much as this is a project to improve the town's biodiversity and environmental impact, it is also very much about the community, which is why LCDT wants you to be involved in this vital initiative.
From donating your time, to sponsoring a tree or a bench, the Forest for Launceston will be brought to life if the community pledges its support. To donate, go to https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/forest-for-launceston

What & when is Amazon Prime Day 2018?
Amazon Prime Day exists to promote Amazon's Prime subscription service, which Amazon says is the best deal in the history of shopping. Amazon hasn't confirmed the dates yet for 2017, but we're expecting that the Prime Day 2018 in the US will be held on Tuesday, July 10 2018. Prime Day 2017 was on the July 12, which was the second Tuesday of the month. This year that falls on the eleventh.
Why Amazon Prime Day matters to Sellers?
The major difference between Prime Day and Black Friday or Cyber Monday is that November's deals are geared towards gifting because of course, it is the holiday season. Amazon Prime Day is more about personal shopping, either for treating yourself or for saving money household items.
If you're looking for bargains, Prime Day 2018 is important – not just for gadgets, but for any kind of item. For example, on Prime Day 2017 Prime members bought more than two million toys; one million pairs of shoes; 90,000 TVs; 215,000 pressure cookers; 200,000 pairs of headphones; 24,000 hammocks; 23,000 Roomba robots and 14,000 Lenovo laptops to mention a few products.
Spotlight Deals: This deal features top brands and popular items with wide discounts that are available until Amazon runs out of stock. According to Amazon, these are the best deals on Amazon Prime Day.
Lighting Deals: This deal is a promotion that lasts for a very short time period, basically just a few hours. When the lightning deal is available, the product page indicates the percentage of items held by other shoppers and a timer showing how much time a shopper has left to shop that particular product. If these products are sold by third-party vendors, you can sign up for the waiting list and when the product is available, you will be notified via Amazon App. For more read how to prepare for Lightning Deals on Amazon Prime Day to enjoy growing sales, even after Prime Day ended.
With the vast inflow of shoppers on Amazon, how can sellers magnify their revenue potential? Considering Amazon Prime Day 2016, these tips break down what we think are essential factors for success this coming Prime Day 2017.
The number one action that you need to take is to make your listing visible for the most popular searches. Make sure your keywords and listing are optimized and updated for Amazon Prime day keywords. We at SellerApp have identified the most valuable keywords that you need to add to your backend for Prime day. Recommend adding this at least 48 hours before the sales for Amazon to index it.
Another problem could be high traffic and low sales conversion. ASIN conversion problems could be related to bad optimization. In general, you should focus on the things that customers see first, title, bullet points, and your photos. Most customers look at every single photo, so you want to make sure they really showcase your product. Register yourself at SellerApp and check the Listing Optimisation Tool under Keyword Genie to get the listing score of your product.
Every year, the customers wait for Amazon Prime Day. Do you know why? Because Amazon Prime Day offers the most amazing deals. These deals are hard to compete with because Amazon can remove deals that don't offer the lowest prices. These amazing deals sell out quickly and sustain only for a limited time until the stocks last.
But you as a seller should also give good discounts on your products. A smart seller attentively monitors sales activity, foresees the substantial level of orders and prices the products low to stimulate good sales. This is an easier way to win the Buy box and search ranking, and a good way to hit your targets to make good business. Just assure that you don't sell out all your best selling products and endanger your profits after Prime Day.
Amazon Prime Day is coming soon and it is like Christmas in July. With these tips, we hope you pull out all the stops and optimize your product. We hope the sales reflect your efforts and make excellent business.

Novel vortex laser
Sectors: Technology equipment
Industries: Equipment & Components
The invention can be used to create new bespoke vortex lasers and could retrofit existing lasers (e.g. solid-state, fibre) to provide vortex output. Higher-order vortices and mode superposition can be generated if the laser operates itself on an internal mode that is vortex: useful for optical trapping, levitation and manipulation of micro- and macro-particles.
Vortex beams can enhance the efficiency of laser manufacturing processes, provide advantages in free-space communications being more robust to atmospheric turbulence and offer improved data encryption.
Relatively little progress has been made for high power vortex generation and even less for high efficiency, robust and compact systems. The generation of vortex beams is predominantly done by converting a Gaussian beam externally to the laser using mode conversion techniques. The spatial light modulator (SLM) has become a primary technology for generating almost any light pattern one could want, but they have very low power-handling capability and high expense which are major limitations.
The invention is a low-cost, high-power and high efficiency new methodology for vortex creation: an interferometric output coupling methodology that spatially transforms the output of the laser.
Vortex laser beam generation at much higher power and pulse energy than most commonly used mode transformation elements (SLMs, Q-plates)
Direct generation from a laser with high efficiency
Enables the creation of new bespoke vortex lasers
Allows existing non-vortex (Gaussian) laser systems to be directly retro-fitted into a vortex laser with little adaptation
Handedness of the vorticity can be controlled, selected or switched
Output transmission of the laser into the vortex mode can be continuously controlled allowing optimisation of power and efficiency of system
Selectivity of the interferometric output coupler can "clean-up" the quality of the internal laser mode during the vortex generation
Low-cost vortex output coupler

WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue's third "Back to Our Roots" RV tour next week will include stops in three Ohio counties.
On Wednesday, April 4 Perdue will visit locations in Allen and Mercer Counties and on Thursday, April 5 he will be in Greene County, the U.S. Department Agriculture (USDA) announced Wednesday.
During the RV tour, which also includes stops next week in Michigan and Kentucky, Perdue is expected to hear ideas and concerns from local farmers, agriculture students and researchers, business owners, community leaders, and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) employees. Secretary Perdue will also be joined by Administrator Linda McMahon, the head of the Small Business Administration (SBA), for part of the tour. The tour runs from Tuesday to Friday.
Central State University (CSU) in Greene County is one of the stops Thursday, April 5.
"It is remarkable that for the second time in four years, a U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary has been to CSU," said Dr. Clarence Bunch, Associate Director of Extension at Central State.
"Secretary Tom Vilsack was here in (October) 2014 when Central State received the historic 1890 Land-Grant University designation," said Bunch. This designation led to CSU Extension's creation.
Bunch said it was the leadership of CSU President Dr. Cynthia Jackson-Hammond that led to the interest in the program and visits by the two Secretaries of Agriculture. He added that the CSU Extension-sponsored Minority, Women and Small Farmers' Conference will be held on the campus the next two days after Perdue's visit, April 6-7.
Secretary Perdue and Administrator McMahon will tour Amherst Greenhouse, 10 a.m., 644 County Road 126, Harrod.
After this tour, Perdue will take part in a working lunch and conversation with McMahon, the Lima Chamber of Commerce and Ohio Farm Bureau. This townhall event starts at 11:30 a.m., at the City Club, 144 South Main Street, 3rd Floor, Lima.
Later, Perdue and McMahon will tour Celina Tent in Mercer County to see their manufacturing facilities and the tents made for disaster relief. This event is scheduled for 1:45 p.m. at Celina Tent in Celina.
On Thursday, April 5, Perdue will visit the Miami Township Fire-Rescue facility in Greene County and meet with township officials and first responders. USDA's Office of Rural Development is assisting the construction of this 17,000-square foot building to house the Miami Township Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department.
This event, located at Miami Township Fire-Rescue, 225 Corry Street, Yellow Springs, is scheduled to start at 8 a.m.
Perdue will then visit Central State University where he will take a guided tour of the university's (CSU) College of Engineering, Science, Technology, and Agriculture and participate in a roundtable discussion with CSU agriculture students.
This event is scheduled for 9 a.m. at CSU, 1400 Brush Row Road, Wilberforce.
Perdue was appointed Agriculture Secretary by President Donald Trump in January, 2017.

GAO-13-810T: Published: Aug 1, 2013. Publicly Released: Aug 1, 2013.
The department's response to the accounting-for goal established in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 brought into sharp relief longstanding disputes that have not been addressed by top-level leaders, and have been exacerbated by the accounting community's fragmented organizational structure. Leadership from the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and Pacific Command have been unable to resolve disputes between community members in areas such as roles and responsibilities and developing a community-wide plan to meet the statutory accounting-for goal. Further, the accounting community is fragmented in that the community members belong to diverse parent organizations under several different chains of command. With accounting community organizations reporting under different lines of authority, no single entity has overarching responsibility for community-wide personnel and other resources.
While the Department of Defense (DOD) is working to revise its existing guidance and develop new guidance, the roles and responsibilities of the various members of the missing persons accounting community are not all clearly articulated in existing DOD directives or instructions. GAO has previously reported on the need for collaborating agencies to work together to define and agree on their roles and responsibilities. DOD has established several directives and instructions related to the missing persons accounting program. However, none of this guidance clearly delineates the specific roles and responsibilities of all the organizations comprising the missing persons accounting community in the four key areas that GAO examined for the July 2013 report: (1) equipment and artifact identification and analysis, (2) research and analysis, (3) investigations, and (4) family outreach and external communications. Disagreements over roles and responsibilities where the guidance is broad or vague enough to support different interpretations has led to discord, lack of collaboration, and friction among the community's members, and particularly between the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) and Joint Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command (JPAC).
While DOD has made some progress in drafting a community-wide plan to increase its capability and capacity to meet the statutory accounting-for goal, as of June 2013 DOD had not completed a community-wide plan. GAO has previously reported that overarching plans can help agencies better align their activities, processes, and resources to collaborate effectively to accomplish a commonly defined outcome. However, GAO's July 2013 report found that community-wide planning to meet the accounting-for goal established by Congress has been impeded by disputes and by a lack of coordination among members of the missing persons accounting community, with the DPMO and JPAC developing two competing proposed plans, neither of which encompassed the entire accounting community.
This testimony discusses GAO's findings and recommendations about DOD's missing persons accounting mission from our recently issued report, DOD's POW/MIA Mission: Top-Level Leadership Attention Needed to Resolve Longstanding Challenges in Accounting for Missing Persons from Past Conflicts. DOD reports that more than 83,000 persons are missing from past conflicts in Vietnam, Korea, the Cold War, the Persian Gulf, and World War II. Since the early 1970s, DOD has identified the remains of and accounted for approximately 1,910 persons. Several DOD components and organizations, collectively known as the missing persons accounting community, have a role in accounting for missing persons. Between 2002 and 2012, DOD accounted for an average of 72 persons each year. In 2009, Congress established an accounting-for goal in Section 541 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. This act required the Secretary of Defense to provide such funds, personnel, and resources as the Secretary considers appropriate to increase significantly the capability and capacity of DOD, the Armed Forces, and commanders of the combatant commands to account for missing persons, so that the accounting community has sufficient resources to ensure that at least 200 missing persons are accounted for annually, beginning in fiscal year 2015.The law also added all World War II losses to the list of conflicts for which DOD is responsible, thus increasing from about 10,000 to 83,000 the number of missing persons for whom DOD must account.
In 2012, in a committee report to accompany a bill for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, the House Armed Services Committee mandated that GAO review DOD's efforts to increase its capability and capacity to account for missing persons. GAO will focus on three key issues identified in the report, specifically: (1) the accounting community's organizational structure, (2) the lack of clarity regarding community members' roles and responsibilities, and (3) DOD's planning to meet the statutory accounting-for goal.

A French court has sentenced a priest to two years in prison, with a third year suspended, for the sexual abuse of minors. At the same time, the court also handed down a suspended sentence against his former bishop for failing to report an allegation against the priest to civil authorities.
De Castelet also gave evidence to the court concerning his "loneliness" and added that Church authorities were aware of his disposition and actions as early as 1993. While it was suggested that several bishops and other chancery authorities were aware of de Castelet's actions, the charge against Fort for failing to report an accusation of child sexual abuse made him the only one not excluded from prosecution by the statute of limitations.

Originally known as Kakaako Stables (an old horse barn) back in the 1920's, 30's, and 40's, today it's home to the Home of the Brave Museum. Rebuilt and meticulously decorated with the largest private WWII, Hawaiiana & beer collection in the Pacific, the displays and stories beckon guests back to era that would change the course of history. Labeled as Honolulu's Best Kept Secret by Honolulu's Mayor, the museum & brewseum are home to treasures and collectables donated by thousands of our Greatest Generation Veterans and their families. Guests are encouraged to jump in the famous 1945 Ford Jeep and Army issue Harley used in the epic Disney/Touchtone production of Pearl Harbor for which Home of the Brave were technical advisers. . The original brewseum was renovated into what is now our brewery. Here our flagship Pilot Pale Ale and 442 Go for Broke are brewed along with delicious seasonals served to our guests in the Wiki Waki Woo Tropical Bar & Lounge upstairs and next door in the expanded Brewseum.
Next door is the world's first Brewseum where Remember, Honor, Salute takes on a whole new meaning. Instead of us telling you about it, here's what Honolulu Magazine recently said:
The Brewseum: Beer Meets a World War II Museum in Kakaako
honolulumagazine.com/Honolulu-Magazine/Biting-Commentary/September-2014/The-Brewseum-Beer-Meets-a-World-War-II-Museum-in-Kakaako/
By Kawehi Haug
When we hear that a bar doubles as a museum, we think: room temperature Natty Light in some old guy's basement. We think dusty piles of … stuff. A hoarder's hang out. And honestly, that's what we expected when we rolled up to the Brewseum on Waimanu Street in Kakaako—an old warehouse space that's been converted to a drinking hole that we had heard was either a tiki bar or a brauhaus-style bar. It is neither. Not even close. But it's not a dumping ground for rickety knick-knacks either. Just the opposite.
The Brewseum door opens to what could be Honolulu's most delightful (weird word, but it's the right one) hole in the wall. It's every bit a museum, with every part of it outfitted in some kind of World War II era memorabilia, but it's just the most charming museum ever. Overhead, model bomber planes circle the room on an old-fashioned brass and wood pulley system, while a model freight train chugs around the perimeter of the space. The walls are all but papered with old war-time photographs, and where there are no photos, 1940's style telephones hang at the ready, real archival radio transmissions pumping through the receivers. The back of the bar is framed by what was once the entry to a Quonset hut barracks and under the tin arch sits a tiny stage, complete with a Shure Classic old-timey microphone. The vintage digs get the 21st century treatment with an actual Army jeep parked near the bar that doubles as a photo booth—selfies are strongly encouraged. Everywhere you look, there is some new piece of history to discover.
The Brewseum, which is owned by the Tomlinson family who also founded the Home of the Brave Tour company that is headquartered next door, is a little bit Smithsonian (history/war geeks unite!) and a little bit Disneyland (whimsical and cute in spades), and it's way cooler than you would ever think it could be. Everything in the space is very purposefully placed, and though we wouldn't mind if it was, there's nothing kitschy about it. The Tomlinson family, whose war memorabilia collection is the largest in the Pacific, has been operating its tour company for 23 years, and is hoping that the bar adds a component to the family business that will draw in long-term fans who will make the Brewseum their go-to hang out.
The bar has six domestic microbrews on tap, a few bottled beers and their own proprietary brew, Home of the Brave beer, brewed for the Brewseum by Sprecher Brewing Company in Wisconsin. The beers are on the pricey side—$5 for a Coors Light, $7 for a Sierra Nevada hefeweizen—but we didn't really notice because everything else about the place was so captivating. Just think of the beer prices as including the museum entrance fee. The menu consists of soft pretzels ($4) with a trio of mustard dipping sauces, and complimentary popcorn, hard pretzels and cheese balls. The snacks gets passed around at regular intervals by the Tomlinson kids who run the place, and do it with so much hospitality and warmth, it's like you're visiting them at home.
