Carnation Revolution
The Carnation Revolution (Portuguese: Revolução dos Cravos), also referred to as the 25 April (Portuguese: 25 de Abril), was a military coup in Lisbon, Portugal began on 25 April 1974 which overthrew the regime of the Estado Novo.[1] The revolution started as a military coup organized by the Movimento das Forças Armadas (Armed Forces Movement, MFA), composed of military officers who opposed the regime, but the movement was soon coupled with an unanticipated and popular campaign of civil resistance. This movement would lead to the fall of the Estado Novo and the withdrawal of Portugal from its African colonies.
The name "Carnation Revolution" comes from the fact no shots were fired and when the population started descending the streets to celebrate the end of the dictatorship and war in the colonies, carnation flowers were put into the muzzles of rifles and on the uniforms of the army. The Portuguese celebrate the national holiday of Freedom Day on 25 April every year to celebrate the revolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnation_Revolution
Back in 1978, a 1974 Dino 246 GTS was found buried in a yard in Los Angeles. With the help of the Dino's current owner and one of the investigators on the case, who fed us some previously-unreported details, we wrapped it all up into a mini-documentary for this week's Jalopnik on Drive. It's the real, real story about the buried Dino. http://jalopnik.com/5872514/the-true-... Documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJDT04DOalI
This Day in Harley-Davidson History – July 9, 1917 – The first Harley-Davidson Service School class takes place in Milwaukee. The Harley-Davidson Service School was born out of necessity during World War I. With the company concentrating on military production and shipping motorcycles overseas, military quartermasters and mechanics needed extensive instruction into how the motorcycles were built and how to maintain them. This led to the creation of what was then known as the Harley-Davidson Quartermasters School and was a three week intensive course. After the war, Harley-Davidson chose to maintain its highly successful program and re-named it the Service School. Classes were opened up to all Harley-Davidson employees and dealers, offering the same type of instruction once given to military personnel. Harley-Davidson also operated a Sales School and classes for those who operated and maintained Harley-Davidson’s commercial vehicles, such as police motorcycles and golf cars. World War II saw a brief resurrection of the Quartermaster School, but, as before, the Service School returned after the war was over. In the 1990s, Harley-Davidson consolidated its various training programs into Harley-Davidson University. To learn more about the history of Harley-Davidson and how we are celebrating 110 years of great motorcycles, please visit our website,www.h-dmuseum.com

Photo © George W. Gardner. New Orleans, Louisiana. USA, 1972.
Recently I came across this I did not know. Taken in 1972 in New Orleans by George W. Gardner, the photo shows a girl was "missing" in dance in a rock festival. Photographer George W. Gardner was a chronicler of itinerant American scene. For thirty years portrayed in black and white, motorcycle and car, with his 35mm camera, the lives of the residents along the highways across U.S. territory, revealing a nation full of contradictions, where he found people obsessed with guns, bibles, Vietnam War, Cold War, a people who still tormented by questions of racial segregation. His works now form the collection of several museums in the U.S.. http://www.georgewgardnerphotography.com/

Samuel Reshevsky, Grand Chessmaster Of The 20th Century (1920) [Reshevsky, at age eight, defeating several chess masters in France]
Reshevsky was born at Ozorków near Łódź (in Poland). He learned to play chess at age four, and was soon acclaimed as a child prodigy. At age eight he was beating accomplished players with ease, and giving simultaneous exhibitions. In November 1920, his parents moved to the U.S. to make a living exhibiting their child. Reshevsky played thousands of games in exhibitions all over the U.S. He played in the 1922 New York Masters tournament; at that stage he was likely the youngest player to have competed in a strong tournament.
In his youth, Reshevsky did not attend school, and his parents appeared in District Court in Manhattan facing a charge of improper guardianship. However, Julius Rosenwald, wealthy co-owner of Sears, Roebuck and Company in Chicago, soon afterwards became Reshevsky's benefactor; Rosenwald guaranteed Reshevsky's future on condition that he would complete his education.[1]
Reshevsky never became a truly professional chess player. He gave up competitive chess for seven years, from 1924 to 1931, to complete his secondary education.[2] He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1934 with a degree in accounting, and supported himself and his family by working as an accountant. His 1941 marriage to Norma Mindick produced three children. Reshevsky was a devout Orthodox Jew and would not play on the Jewish Sabbath; his games were scheduled accordingly.[3].
