Charles Dharapak, AP
While Memorial Day may have transformed into the unofficial start of the summer season, it is the day Americans nationwide honor fallen members of the military.
Here is a short history of how Memorial Day began and how it has changed throughout the nation's history.
Following the end of the Civil War, the United States may have been united, but it was far from whole. According to the Civil War Trust, nearly 620,000 Americans from Confederate and Union forces died during the four-year war, more than any American war since. In the years that followed, widows and family members would visit memorials to their fallen soldiers.
According to Veteran Affairs, approximately 25 towns both north and south of the Mason-Dixon line claim to have held the first Memorial Day, including Macon and Columbus, Ga., Boalsburg, Pa., and Carbondale, Ill.
On April 25, 1866, Columbus, Miss., became one of the first cities to honor Memorial Day when a group of women went to place flowers on the graves of Confederate soldiers. One woman began placing flowers on the nearby graves of Union soldiers. The other women soon joined until every grave, both blue and gray, was decorated with flowers.
On the orders of Gen. John A. Logan, May 30, 1868, became the first official observance of what was then called Decoration Day to commemorate fallen Civil War soldiers. It is believed Logan chose May 30 because flowers across the country would be in bloom.
That year, more than 5,000 volunteers decorated nearly 20,000 graves at Arlington Cemetery. The tradition of Memorial Day celebrations at Arlington Cemetery continues today.
By the end of the century, Memorial Days were being celebrated across the country on May 30. However, it wasn't until after World War I that the day was extended as a memorial to fallen soldiers of all American wars.
In 1971, Congress officially recognized Memorial Day as a national holiday and the observation was moved to the last Monday in May.
Today, a National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to honor fallen soldiers with a minute of silence at 3 p.m. local time.

The angel in the Stratosphere
Location: N/A
By: George Valdez Velasco
As a young boy I never paid much attention to angels on the way they looked all I knew about angels was they were there to protect you from negative encounters. While I grew older at times I would ponder whether the angels really were guides and helpers of human kind. During the end of my High school year I became ill and could not fall asleep this still happens until know. Before as I remember I would go out in to the night and watch the Milky Way during the summer months as I lay on my back and stear at the vast number of stars. I would always wonder about other existence out there, one particular night during the hot summer months of July I went out to an open field and like usual I laid on my back to relax looking at the stars like any usual time as before. I can remember looking at the Milky Way like any other time as I was getting really to call it a night, a light in the sky cough my attention, but this was not any ordinary star light. I was able to actually tell that the night was not way above me like any other star because I was able to judge the distance away from me. It was like once around the track of my high school field. I was very puzzled but not afraid; although the light was close to me compared to the stars I did not know what it was. All this took about a few minutes, what really caught my attention was when I would close one eye I cannot remember whether it was my left or right eye the light source would dimmed and as I opened my shut eye the light would shine again, nothing out of the ordinary. Since then I always want to believe the light was an angel; well I do not why any way I just want it to.
The years when by and my illness progress, whenever I would feel down I would always think of that light in which I saw. The years when on and on Because of my illness I was transfer to a boarding home in the capital state of Sacramento California. I lived in the city, in a very populated area. Because of my illness I guess I would at times go out in to the street and walk for hours at end just until I would be very exhausted. One day as I clearly remember I walked for a long time until I was very tired. This time I decided to rest next to an abandoned building on the overgrown grass , there was a sight with the letter G with like a ruler around it I cannot remember at this time what it stands for but I know what it is and the history of it. Well any ways as I laied with my back facing the sky in the middle of the hot hours another young man did the same, we did not communicate I figured he was just as tire as I was. He seemed very happy because of the happy smile on his face. I took my senses of the young lad and continued to stare in to the open sky; I figured what could be more delighted than the passing clouds. Behold to my surprice what I saw where not clouds or passenger airplanes what I saw was this humongous angel I mean it was hudge I am not pulling no one�s leg here, this angel was covering the entire sky. O boy I could not believe my eyes but I mean it was an angel just like on the scriptures and in like they were described in mass. The reason I did not panic I guess was because this big angel was staring at me with a smile. I could not figure out if other saw the angel because the angel was covering the entire sky, how could anyone not see the angel thought, with the wings covering almost the entire sky. After a while I just left and went home I do not remember if the angel just left or what no. The only communication was the smile. As I try to remember of the occasion like details there are some obvious details I just cannot remember but I do know I memorized every detail I could after all who would not. Since that day I have become a happy person. I wish everyone in the word would had witness what I did, I do not think much of it because it was plain and simple, seeing is believing especially with one of the senses we humans cherish the most, sight. I personally believe that if any one wants to be a witness to the gifts of god. It will be granted sooner or later and sooner or later is better than never at all.
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

UAE | General
Outpass fees for Indian amnesty seekers may be waived
Ambassador asks Indian government to scrap Dh60 charge for amnesty seekers
It's a pity that this kind act was thought about after other countries did so to their nationals. Any requirement or actions for non-resident Indians are always a source of revenue for the government and it happened in this case of amnesty too. Let all good actions and thoughts initiate proactively from our legislators and government representatives.
Ramesh Menon, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Dubai: Illegal Indian residents applying for a UAE amnesty to exit the country without immigration fines or legal action may have the application fee waived under a new proposal by the Indian ambassador to the UAE.
M. K. Lokesh said on Sunday he has formally requested the Indian government to waive the Dh60 charge for the "Emergency Exit Certificate," informally called "outpass," needed to exit the UAE under the amnesty.
The amnesty lasts from December 4 to February 3 for all nationalities, and each nation's foreign missions charge separately for the outpass.
"I've written to my government to consider waving off the fee… Once the Government of India agrees, there could be relief," he said during a press conference at the India Club in Dubai on Sunday.
"The decision will come hopefully soon. It can take time, there are procedures in place."
There is an additional Dh9 service fee charged by outsourced company BLS that handles Indian passport and visa applications. There are also optional "value added services" like form-filling and on-site photography services.
Lokesh said: "We've asked them (BLS) to reduce this for amnesty seekers by 30 per cent."
He added that during the last amnesty in 2007, "90 to 95 per cent of them (applicants) traveled at their own cost, each (air) ticket cost about Dh1,000… This time we expect 90 per cent of them to bear their own airfare."
Lokesh said financial assistance for those who cannot afford to be repatriated was an ongoing effort of the Indian missions even outside the amnesty.
"We'll try to help the destitute, we're already helping them on a daily basis… The (Indian) civil aviation has been informed of this (amnesty) and maybe they're going to give ticket concessions. And I'm also trying generally with Indian airlines."
Last amnesty, about 1,200 air tickets were arranged for applicants, he added. "Ultimately, only the deserving ones will get it."
Lokesh said that those being repatriated under the amnesty may be allowed to return to the UAE in the future.
"We (Indian embassy in UAE) haven't got anything in writing from local (UAE) authorities, but they've said there's no formal ban. Formally, they haven't told us there won't be any ban," Lokesh said.
Last amnesty, about 46,000 Emergency Certificates were issued by the Indian missions in the UAE, Lokesh said. "We issue the travel document called Emergency Certificate, we don't know how many people actually left."
This year, more than 220 Indians have applied so far. When asked how many applicants are expected this year, Lokesh said: "I can't be speculative – hopefully less than last time. The initial response has been lukewarm, only about 30-50 people daily. In the final stages, more people may come… The bottlenecks may be the immigration centres – they also issue their own outpass – at the last minute, but there aren't so many Indians there right now."
There are 14 BLS and Indian community group centres where amnesty seekers can apply in the UAE, he added.
"There are 1.75 million to 2,000,000 Indian people here, depending on where you get your figures from. Indian's are law abiding, their role here is appreciated. Some of them have become illegal residents due to some unforeseen reasons beyond their control."
For verification, Indian applicants who don't have a valid passport or visa copy details can present their Indian ration or voter card, Indian driving licence or details for relatives and their address in India.
"Even with a proper name and date of birth, in cases we're able to find out from our records if they're Indian citizens," he said.
After securing an outpass from their embassy or consulate, or the outsourced service provider, amnesty applicants have to approach any of 10 immigration centres handling the official pardon programme in the UAE.

Thanksgiving is almost upon us! Here is an ancient poultry recipe, in case your turkey recipe is looking a little less than exciting.
From The Classical Cookbook, a recipe for stuffed chicken from Apicius:
Stuffed Chicken. Draw the chicken from the neck. Crush pepper lovage, ginger, chopped meat, boiled emmer; crush boiled brain, break eggs in, and work into a smooth mixture. Blend with fish sauce and add a little oil, whole peppercorns, plenty of pine kernels. Make up into a stuffing and stuff the chicken (or suckling pig), so that a little room is left. You can do the same with a capon. Cook, discarding the bones.
Wine cup with a rooster, attributed to the Tleson Painter, Greek, Athens about 540 BC, terracotta.
If you want boiled brain in your stuffing this Thanksgiving.

One dead in Oklahoma as tornadoes wreak havoc and destruction in Midwest
Monday 20 May 2013
Tornadoes ravaged portions of Oklahoma on Sunday, reducing portions of a mobile home park to rubble and killing a 79-year-old man whose body was found out in the open.
The tornado in Shawnee was one of several that touched down in the nation's midsection Sunday. Twisters, hail and high winds also struck Iowa and Kansas as part of a massive, northeastward-moving storm system that stretched from Texas to Minnesota.
"You can see where there's absolutely nothing, then there are places where you have mobile home frames on top of each other, debris piled up," Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth said after surviving damage in the Steelman Estates Mobile Home Park. "It looks like there's been heavy equipment in there on a demolition tour.
"It's pretty bad. It's pretty much wiped out," he said.
Across Oklahoma, 21 people were injured, not including those who suffered bumps and bruises and chose not to visit a hospital, said Keli Cain, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management. Booth said six at Steelman Estates were hurt.
Forecasters had been warning of a general storm outbreak since Wednesday, and for Sunday's storms some residents had more than a half-hour's notice that a twister was on the way. Tornado watches and warnings were in effect through late Sunday in much of the nation's midsection.
The trailer park was among the hardest-hit areas, and among the hardest to reach, as overturned tractor-trailers forced the closure of a section of a highway and power lines draped across roads to the south.
James Hoke lives with his wife and two children in Steelman Estates. He said the family went into their storm cellar as the storm approached. When they came out, their mobile home had vanished.
"It took a dead hit," Hoke said.
A storm spotter told the National Weather Service that the tornado left the earth "scoured" at the mobile home park — using a term used by storm chasers to describe grass being ripped out by high winds.
Govenor Mary Fallin declared an emergency for 16 Oklahoma counties that suffered from severe storms and flooding during the weekend. The declaration lets local governments acquire goods quickly to respond to their residents' needs and puts the state in line for federal help if it becomes necessary.

Every local community has a story, a history, and a unique personality that cannot be replicated. This is often thanks to specialized, small-scale businesses, like this one, which contribute to a neighborhood's distinctive character and promote a thriving ecosystem in their community. Small, independent businesses offer diverse products and services, fostering economic resilience by removing the local economy's dependence on a single industry. When you buy local, you build local, and deepen your connection to your own community.
As a result, patronizing a local business like this is an act of community building. Check out their website to learn more about the local experience you can discover today.

When the tweets about any topic explode - twitter lists them as 'trending topics'. Those who get on the top of these trending topics get a ton of free publicity. Twitter's got a sophisticated algorithm that factors the overall number of tweets about any particular topic and the increase in the number over a short span of time to rank the topics in the trends. However MIT's engineers have a way to predict which topics will trend on Twitter well in advance. The best part? Their algorithm is 95% accurate!
MIT's associate professor Devavrat Shah and his student Stanislav Nikolov will present their algorithm at the "Interdisciplinary Workshop on Information and Decision in Social Networks" in this month. The algorithm finds out which topics will trend at an interval of about 90 minutes. The duo say that they can predict the trending topics almost about 4-5 hours in advance. But like all the current generation artificially intelligent computer systems, this new algorithm needs to be trained. It creates samples of the data and analyses the patterns. However, it does not rely on the shape of the patterns to make predictions.
Shah says that their algorithm compares the change in the number of tweets about any particular topic to the sample set it has collected. Each sample then 'votes' for the possibility of the new topic which may trend but some of the samples are given more weight in deciding the final outcome. The algorithm has training set of about 200 twitter topics that did trend and another set of 200 topics that didn't trend. Experiments have demonstrated about 95% success rate and ~4% false positive rate. Quite impressive!
We won't be surprised to see Twitter officials being interested in this algorithm. Twitter could use this in a number of ways including charging a premium to the advertisers to bank on the topics that will trend in the next few hours.

MILWAUKEE — We didn't bother asking Dan Haren if he was starting tomorrow in Atlanta. His name was on the sheet. There was no reason to expect otherwise.
Besides, Haren earned it. In his most recent start in Anaheim, he gave up three singles, didn't walk a batter, and only allowed one run in the Dodgers' 2-1 win over the Angels on Wednesday. His reward: His next turn in the rotation will be pushed back – at least for one day, it seems — by new Dodger Kevin Correia.
"We talked to (Correia) last night," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "He seemed excited about being here. As I told him, right now we'll use him as spot starts, coming out of the bullpen kind of filling Paul (Maholm)'s role, having some length but also giving us some insurance at the starter's spot."
When might that spot start come up?
"It might come up tomorrow," Mattingly said. "That would come up quick. If it would come up tomorrow, hypothetically speaking, during this little stretch of all the games in a row to give our guys a little bit of a breather. Making sure we're not overtaxing Kersh, Greinke. We know Hyun-Jin's pitched better with that little extra day."

5 Reasons Why it is More Worthy to Buy Samsung Galaxy S3 than the S4
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Kristin Dian Mariano | May 8, 2013 11:04 AM EST
Samsung Galaxy S4 is now up for grabs in most parts of the world. However, some people think that it is better to buy the device's predecessor - Galaxy S3.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 features a 5-inch Super AMOLED screen offering Full 1,920 x 1,080p HD resolutions with a 441p image density. Retaining the same height as the Samsung Galaxy S3, the new model is actually thinner than its predecessor at just 7.9mm thick in comparison to the 8.3mm measurements of the Galaxy S3.
Running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has a 13-megapixel camera in the rear coupled with a 2-megapixel snapper in front. The flagship packs a whole host of new camera features like Dual Camera and features Samsung Galaxy Smart Scroll, Smart Pause, Air View and Air Gesture functionality.
With a 2,600mAh battery, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has three internal storage size options, all bolstered by the addition of a microSD card slot supporting cards up to 32GB. The current quad-core version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 provides 4G LTE connectivity as well as IR LED, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Below are the five reasons why it is more worthy to buy Samsung Galaxy S3 than the recently released Galaxy S4.
No octa-core processor -In reality, the eight core processor that the Galaxy S4 has is actually a combination of Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 processors. It is important to note that these two core will not work simultaneously. The 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 processor is used when the device is either performing low resource demanding tasks or is in its idle state, while the higher performing 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 is used while performing heavy tasks like playing HD videos and or high-end graphic games. However, this is advantageous to the device's battery as lower clock speed means less power drain on the battery.
Small Internal Storage Space - Some people who received their Samsung Galaxy S4 device too early revealed that the 16 GB version of the device actually offers only about 8 GB of user available storage while the other 8 GB goes to system services and Android v4.2 Jelly Bean. However, this may not be a big problem as the device features a microSD slot for additional external storage.
High-End Bootloader Locked - With the exception of Sprint, Verizon and AT&T, Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with a locked bootloader. This adds security to your device and prevents some forms of hackery that most people do in unlocking the device.
Dual Shot is Not S4 Exclusive - If you are captivated with of the 13 megapixels camera and the ability to capture images from the front as well as rear camera simultaneously of the device, it is important to let you know that there is a cheaper alternative that also have this feature. The recently released LG Optimus G Pro also has almost the same hardware as the S4 and also rocks the dual shoot functionality.
Cheaper Price - Being a previous model, Samsung Galaxy S3 is definitely cheaper compared to the new Galaxy S4. Some carriers offered the device through their friendly plans with no additional cost.
