HRT press release
Sao Paulo stages the last Grand Prix of the 2011 season and Vitantonio Liuzzi has decided to make the most of the occasion by wearing what will be his last helmet of the season. It will be a very special edition because this time Tonio has been the person behind the design of the helmet.
Vitantonio has worked very hard this season with HRT and for this reason, to finish the season on a high, designer "Lucky" Gianluca Croci has thought that Tonio should give his all not only in the car but outside of it too by being the person in charge of designing it.
It is the seventh special edition designed this season by Kaos Design, but this new helmet is different to the rest and will be different to anything seen before in Formula 1. With a completely black base, the characteristic lines which Tonio has on his standard helmet will be drawn in white with the sponsors and VL logo written in golden leaves. The name of the helmet is "K-Writeme" and it is covered in a material similar to that of a blackboard meaning that Tonio can write and erase what he wants on the surface until he is happy with the design.
Tonio will draw on it with chalk … and tomorrow we will see the results
Today Tonio will draw on it with chalk…and tomorrow we will see the results when he comes out to the track.
"When Lucky told me his idea for this last special edition I loved it. The possibility of customizing your helmet how you want is something that has never been seen before in Formula 1 and something that I thought was quite fun to finish the season off. I had no idea what it would look like…Today I saw the base for the first time and I love it. I just feel bad about ruining it with my drawings!", commented Tonio when he saw the helmet for the first time".

As reported by Dr. Michel F. Levesque to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, the California neurosurgeon had treated Turner for his progressing Parkinson's with (Californian Dennis) Turner's own neural stem cells. First, a pea-sized sample of tissue was removed from Turner's brain. Then, stem cells in the tissue were isolated and cultured into the millions. Finally, the cells were injected back into Turner's brain. One year after the procedure, the patient's symptoms were reduced by more than 80 percent ? even though Turner was treated in only one brain lobe.

As thousands of San Jose residents forced to flee as the Coyote Creek spilled over began to return to their homes on Thursday, many face a scary scenario: What parts of my house and which possessions inside have been damaged by water? What has been lost forever? What can be salvaged? And how can we start to put our lives back together again?
"When homes are flooded and lives upended, treasured possessions such as family heirlooms, photos, and other keepsakes become more cherished," says an article on FEMA's website. The emergency management agency offers a number of suggestions from the Heritage Emergency National Task Force, a coalition of 42 national organizations and federal agencies cosponsored by FEMA and the Smithsonian Institution:
- Be very careful: evacuees are in an especially vulnerable emotional state right now as shock wears off and the gravity of the crisis that drove them from their homes begins to kick in; guarding ones personal safety as you re-enter your damaged home is the most important thing right now so tread slowly and gingerly.
- Watch for further damage: check carefully for structural damage before going back inside your home or apartment building in case there's been structural damage that puts the building at risk of collapse.
- Don't turn power on yet: have an electrician inspect your electrical system before restoring power.
- Use your nose: turn off the gas if it's still on and sniff around for any gas leaks.
- Watch your step: a flooded home can be a precarious obstacle course, with the floors littered with things like broken picture frames, lamps and dinner plates, along with tipped-over furniture.
- Don't slip: mud-covered floors can be slick and hard to navigate.
- Put your smartphone camera to work: immediately document the entire home, both damanged and not; these photos can be easily emailed to your insurance agent and with the time-stamp of that email the pictures may turn out to be valuable pieces of evidence once you've filed a claim.
- Call your agent: if you have home insurance or renter's insurance call the company right away to get the claim process started. Homeowners insurance usually covers losses caused by wind, storms and broken water pipes, though not surface flooding.
- Grab and go: if you can't remain in the house for some reason (police orders, damage, etc.) quickly grab your most valuable items, including cash, jewelry, treasured photos, diaries and other irreplaceable items.
- Dress right: if you are able to stay and start to deal with the mess, wear long sleeves, sturdy shoes or waterproof boots, and plastic or rubber gloves before you dive in.
- Wash your hands: with the very real danger posed by mold or toxins that came in with the floodwater, be sure to wash your hands often with soap and hot water or use a hand-cleaning gel with alcohol in it.
- Beware the mold: mold can form within 48 hours, so work fast and smart. Reducing the humidity and temperature in your house in those early hours can help slow the mold's growth.
- Gear up: if you do find mold be sure to wear protective gear such as gloves, goggles and an N100 face mask, available at most hardware stores.
- Give a call: a number of organizations stand ready to dole out free telephone advice following a disaster like a flood. You can call 24/7 emergency-response team at the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation at 202-661-8068. Also, there's the Regional Alliance for Preservation (RAP), a national network of nonprofit organizations with expertise in the field of conservation and preservation.

India batsman Virat Kohli has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee after pleading guilty to breaching the ICC's code of conduct for an obscene finger gesture during the second day's play in the second cricket Test against Australia in Sydney.
Kohli was charged with a Level 2 offence under article 2.2.8 of the code which relates to "Using language or gesture(s) that is seriously obscene, seriously offensive or of a seriously insulting nature to another Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person during an International Match".
"Kohli pleaded guilty to the charge and apologised for his action. As such, under the provisions of the code, I determined the matter as there was no requirement for a full hearing," said Mr Ranjan Madugalle of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees.
The charge was brought by on-field umpires Marais Erasmus and Ian Gould, both from the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Umpires, third umpire Bruce Oxenford from the Emirates International Panel of ICC Umpires, and fourth umpire Gerard Abood.
All Level 2 breaches carry a minimum penalty of a fine equivalent to 50 per cent of a player's match fee up to a maximum penalty of a suspension for two ODIs or two T20Is or one Test.

Q. I send and receive mail from old girlfriends on Facebook and it drives my wife crazy. I change my Facebook password but she still gets in my account. Any idea how she keeps finding my password?
A. It sounds like you have bigger issues than a live-in Facebook password hacker. Here's another shocker, Romeo, you don't need to be a computer wizard to access someone's passwords. Your browser stores passwords for you. Whether you use Chrome, Firefox or Safari, your wife just needs to know the right spot in the browser's settings to see them. In the case of Internet Explorer, a free program can retrieve saved passwords. Click here to learn the exact steps for seeing browser passwords and steps you can take to keep them safe. Good luck!
How to protect your passwords
Track phones without GPS
Q. On your national radio show you said that carriers, advertisers and law enforcement can track my smartphone's location even if I turn off the GPS. I was going in and out of the car while your show was on and would like to know more about this topic.
A. GPS is just one way to track a phone. Carriers also use cell tower triangulation and can provide that information to other companies. Basically, your cellphone connects to multiple towers in an area. By tracking the towers you're connected to, carriers can pinpoint your location. Depending on the area and carrier, it might be very precise or just a general area. To see how accurate this type of tracking is for your phone, try the free demonstration of the technology. By the way, if you ever miss my show or want to hear all or part of it again, get the podcast. Click here to learn more.
One text message can crash your phone
Q. I heard that someone can send me a certain text message and it will make my phone reboot. Is that true?
A. If you're an iPhone user, all a prankster or malicious person has to do is send you a specific string of characters via text message and your phone will crash. The kids are having a field day with this one! The easiest work-around is to turn off notifications. Apple says that an update will be coming to fix this glitch. If you want to see what the errant text message looks like, click here.
Work when you want to
Q. I just retired and all this free time is driving me crazy. Are there any legitimate jobs I can do? I don't want a fixed schedule. I only want to work when I feel like it.
A. Using your smartphone, you can have the flexibility of doing odd jobs when you're in the mood. For example, the TaskRabbit app will show you ways to make money in your area. If you want to do the job posted, say taking a photo of a store display or repairing a door, it's totally up to you. A similar app is GigWalk. For more about post-retirement jobs.
Zoom text in your browser
Q. My eyesight isn't what it used to be and it's getting harder to read the text on websites. Is there an easy way to make the text bigger?
A. In any browser, the keyboard shortcut CTRL + + (the plus key), will make text and images bigger. If you want to go smaller, you can use CTRL + – (the minus key). CTRL + 0 (zero) resets the size to the default. Or, you can hold down the CTRL key and spin your mouse scroll wheel. That will zoom in and out as well. Did that help? Click here for 7 more must-known browser tips and tricks.
Bonus: Better than a hotel room
Q. We're planning our summer driving vacation with the kids and would like to try something new for a change. I've heard you talk about Airbnb on your national radio show. It seems scary staying in a stranger's house.
A. It's not. Airbnb has a verification system. You can also look up online profiles and see feedback from people who have rented from them before. You might find a nice apartment or home that's much less than the price of a hotel. Since you're traveling with kids, having a full kitchen, or washer and dryer would come in handy. Click here to learn more about finding places to stay through Airbnb and similar sites.

Vitiligo cure through RNAi?
I was just watching a show at the Nova site about the discovery of RNAi (the 'i' stands for interference) in cells. It's best that you go read what the experts wrote about it, but here is a short quote from the site about it:
Here was a part of the body's natural immune system that, it seemed, might be enlisted to fight almost every disease imaginable; brain disorders like Huntington's and Alzheimer's, deadly viral infections, cancer, every condition in which "silencing" rogue genes might stop disease onset or progression.
Since vitiligo is considered an autoimmune disease, perhaps our cure can be found through the RNAi discovery.

Dana Bradt
Dana has always been known to try anything in the process of creating art. She started down the artistic road by watching her mother and grandmother from making beautiful clothes to Christmas ornaments and angels. She has travelled that road by creating her children's clothing when they were young, by being a Stampin'Up demonstrator for four years and currently with her group of girlfriends in which they share the love of creating handmade works of art.
Dana has a bachelor's of science degree in environmental health and safety management. She has worked for 21 years making employees and their work places safe for them and remediating chemical spills and restoring the environment for future generations to use.
Dana has had a lifelong dream of being able to share her enthusiasm for creating works of art by creating an environment that would allow one to be inspired to create works of art and then share that process with others. She has developed that dream into Inspirations of Art Studio.
Ingrid Dudek
Ingrid Dudek (Instructor) is a retired college professor. She has taught nuclear medicine technology for 30 years. She is married and has three children. Two wonderful daughters and a wonderful stepson. She also has six terrific grandchildren. She was born in Germany, lived in England and has lived in the US since she was 22 and became a citizen when she was 27. She has traveled all over the world and has admired and collected artworks where-ever she went. She loves to sew, knit and crochet. Recently she has learned to work Tunisian crochet, which is a great technique. Ingrid also loves to restore things. She is an accomplished reupholster.
Becky Bunting
have done photography for over ten years. Some of my favorite subjects are family, friends, and places from my travels around the world. I love people watching, catching nature with a special slant or fancy for interesting shots making it even more fun to discover the plot. I enjoy all the new "Apps" and often combine several types of photo art to create a unique piece. Various print media's are also fun to explore.
A big benefit of photography is being able to play with the textures, sizes, frames (or not) of the art to make each print unique to their owner. I typically only print a few of each piece. Metal and metallic prints are an incredible way of bringing out every little detail and color to make it "pop" just so.
Julie Lewis
Julie is a retired accountant. She is married with three grown daughters, which leaves her plenty of time for making and teaching doll making .at IOAS and a local Grand Rapids area fabric store. Most of the dolls she makes are designed by Gail Wilson in New Hampshire and have an old fashioned or early American feel to them. Some of Gail's dolls are based upon a specific antique doll.
Paul Critelli
Paul owns many hats, and sometimes wears several in one day! He holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from Fordham University in New York City (but, please, don't tell his Mom as she is still proud thinking he is a bouncer in a biker bar . . . ), and has had a private practice in the area for . . . a lot of years . . . He also consults with many nursing homes in the area.
Paul also possesses a Ph.D. from Fechter's Finger Flicking Frolic – the most prestigious and oldest Close-Up Magic Convention in the world. Really! He has performed for thousands of people in various restaurants, at private parties, and during corporate events. He has consulted for various products and services and has created marketing projects including videos using Magic to introduce products.
Paul has been an origamist for . . . many years . . . despite the fact that he may look like a Presbyterian! He has several hundred books on origami, warehouses 3.5 square acres of timber that have been converted to all types of paper, and is blessed to have a network of kind and generous origamists who share their expertise with him. He regularly goes to Wonderland (you may know it as Japan . . . ) as a guest of friends who have requested his consultation in running contests and conventions in Magic and, it is expected sometime in the next decade, eating sushi.
Paul believes that dignity and seriousness and a sense of solemnity MUST accompany all he does . . . he also has many bridges to sell you!
Karen Hundt Brown
Karen has been growing and working with gourds for the last 14 years. She started with making a simple bowl and has progressed to be one of the most well-known gourd artists in the Midwest. She teaches locally at IOAS and at her home. She also travels around the Midwest and Canada teaching her art and sharing her enthusiasm about gourds. Her work has been published in many gourd magazines and can be found online on many web sites. Karen says that gourds have changed her life for the better.

Cathy Dykstra
I have been interested in art for a long time and dabbled in various art projects over the years. I first realized that I was attracted to it and that I was good at it, in college when I took a drawing class for fun. The teacher Mrs. Willard and her professor friend from Notre Dame were compiling my portfolio for, what they thought was my next step at Western Michigan University. They were absolutely sure that I was going to be an art major in college and didn't know I already had several classes towards a different course of study there. As I continued in college I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics and Retail Management and worked in that field for 7 years. I then settled down with my husband Gary and started our family. At that time I started a stay at home business with Mary Kay Cosmetics in order to have the flexibility I needed to raise my family. By being in the beauty business I have been involved in a form of art in helping women look pretty. I always knew that one day I would get more involved in art when the time allotted me. In 2005 I began taking art classes, first with Cindy Ford at Kendall College, then David Davis, a graduate of Kendall, who was an encouraging influence on myself and many of us budding artists. Art in my life now has been a fulfilling time. I totally enjoy the process of creating something and helping others to do the same. It is exciting and very rewarding and requires trusting one's intuition, a looking to God, and down right courage to just put something on the paper. It brings a joy, happiness, and balance to me that I hope inspires others
Sandi Roggow
Sandi started working with beads and creating jewelry for sale at 14. She sold custom designed necklaces to a downtown Milwaukee boutique for an entire summer while in junior high.

Achronix Introduces the Highest FPGA Memory Bandwidth, PCIe Acceleration Board for Data Center Applications
SANTA CLARA, CA - (June 21, 2016)-Achronix Semiconductor Corporation today announced the availability of the new PCIe form factor Accelerator-6D accelerator board which is the industry's highest single-FPGA memory bandwidth, PCIe add-in card for high-speed data center acceleration applications. The board integrates a Speedster(tm)22i HD1000 FPGA with 700,000 look-up-tables that connects to six independent memory controllers allowing for up to 192 GB of memory and 690 Gbps of total memory bandwidth.
Each DRAM controller on the HD1000 runs at 1,600 MT/s and connects to two SODIMMs allowing for single, dual- and quad-rank SODIMM and SORDIMM DDR3 operation. The board also has four QSFP+ connectors for 10G/40G Ethernet connectivity and supports PCIe Gen3 ×8 operation. The controllers for the DDR3, Ethernet and PCIe interfaces are implemented as embedded hard blocks inside the HD1000 FPGA, which eliminates the requirement to use valuable programmable resources inside the FPGA to implement these functions. In addition, the embedded hard controllers guarantee timing on these complex high-performance interfaces, enabling designers to focus their valuable time on developing data center acceleration applications.
The Accelerator-6D board is the only FPGA-based PCIe board that has 6 independent DRAM memory ports connected to a single FPGA. Each independent port can be configured with up to 32 GB of DDR3 memory. The memory ports combined with the 4 QSFP+ modules that support 4x 40G Ethernet is the perfect platform for data center architects to develop intelligent NIC cards for NFV network acceleration or network security.
"The Accelerator-6D board offers a unique value proposition to the data center, high-performance compute market segment that uses PCIe add-in cards," said Steve Mensor, Vice President of Marketing, Achronix Semiconductor. "The Accelerator-6D board offers the highest memory bandwidth for an FPGA-based PCIe form factor board, and memory bandwidth is typically the bottleneck of high performance computer systems."
Product Availability
The Accelerator-6D boards are available today at a 1-unit price of $7,500. The board comes with a power supply, one-year license for ACE design tools and multiple system-level reference designs for Ethernet, DDR3 and PCIe operation.

Australian actress Margot Robbie has revealed secrets ahead of the release of Suicide Squad.
Australians still love her as Harley Quinn. The "Wolf of Wall Street" actress takes all traits to be a super villain and here are some of Robbie's weird secrets that made her as such.
1. She sleeps with her current love – Harley Quinn's bat. Robbie has revealed that she sleeps next to Quinn's baseball bat in case anyone breaks into her house. "In case anyone breaks into my house, I'll be fully prepared," she told News Corp Australia.
2. Her boyfriend has never asked her to wear Harley's sexy pants and fishnets in the bedroom. Robbie admitted that it will be weird. The actress' boyfriend of three years is British filmmaker Tom Ackerley.
3. The 26-year-old actress accepted a role in "Suicide Squad" without seeing the script. She revealed that the chance to work with director David Ayer was the reason she accepted the role to play the DC super villain.

4. Despite having a gorgeous body, Robbie admitted that she felt "embarrassed" when she needs to wear skimpy costume on set. The actress said said she only forget about it when she thinks that not only 100 crew members will see her in bikini but millions of people too.
5. In her role in ""The Legend of Tarzan," Robbie refused to lose weight. The actress played the role of Jane in the movie.
Meanwhile, Robbie is set to star in a "Harley Quinn" standalone movie.
Suicide Squad hits theaters Aug. 5. The movie has been confirmed as PG-13 in the US. Aside from Robbie, the upcoming movie from the DCEU also stars Will Smith (Deadshot), Jared Leto (Joker), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), and Viola Davis (Amanda Weller). Jay Hernandez (El Diablo), Karen Fukuhara (Katana), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flagg), and Adam Beach (Slipknot) also join the Suicide Squad.

President Abraham Lincoln
Quite a monumental day in our American History, I would have to say. So what have we learned as individuals, as a nation, since this historic day? I wonder what Abraham Lincoln would honestly have to say, with respect racial equality, about where we are as a nation today? Definitely something worthy of thinking further on, would you not agree?
It was interesting to me to be reminded on this day, the 150th Anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's historical "Gettysburg Address", that it was the Republican party, led by a Republican President who tirelessly and fearlessly led the charge that ultimately put an end to slavery in our nation. Lincoln's words remind us that those who fought to end slavery were willing to pay the highest price, laying their very lives on the line in a self-less sacrifice with both white and black –in fact, many different races-- fighting side by side in order to achieve the final victory of an end to slavery in our nation. President Lincoln continues on to make his most important point: that to lose sight of the high cost which was paid, in order to achieve freedom for all, is to dishonor those who have given their own lives in order to achieve this noble end: "That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." ~Abraham Lincoln
Upon reflection, I think this 150th Anniversary should serve as a reminder for all us to revisit the truth of our history*, as a nation, as well as a call to recognize that it is ultimately actions which produce results, speaking louder than any mere rhetoric in a war of perception fueled by unsubstantiated words. Perhaps instead of making blanket statements, such as those recently made by Oprah Winfrey to the British media, those in a position with the 'pulpit' to do so would do better to address specific incidents –on a case by case basis, starting with the highest profile-- of abuse and disrespect toward President Obama, calling the perpetrators out by name with actual facts/statements to back up their claims. Perhaps then we could truly begin to make some meaningful progress toward the legitimate end of addressing the many problems currently plaguing our nation and its citizenry.

[* Among those truths, we find the following rather interesting facts:
1) The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which abolished slavery passed by a vote of 100% Republicans in favor, but only 22% Democrats were in favor of this amendment.
2) The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which proclaimed that free-slaves (African-Americans) were now full-fledged citizens of the United States of America passed by a vote of 100% Republicans in favor, but with 0% (not a single one!) of Democrats in support of this amendment.
3) The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which unequivocally gave African-Americans the right to vote in our U.S. elections passed by a vote of 100% Republicans in favor, but again with 0% (not a single one!) of Democrats in support of this amendment.
... And just in case you were wondering: Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.]
