https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/philadelphia-phillies-fan-hit-foul-balls-1957 On August 17, 1957, Alice Roth experiences what surely is one of the worst days any spectator has had at a Major League Baseball game. After being struck by a foul ball off the bat of future Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn, Roth is being treated for a broken nose when the Philadelphia Phillies' star fouls off the very next pitch, hitting her in the leg and breaking it. The incredibly unlikely incident is unique in baseball history. Neat stuff. Tip pf the cap! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1718804287.jpg |

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1718804532.jpg Not really random photos. My car at Barber Motorsports about to do a DE. It is a fun track, and nicknamed the Augusta of race tracks. Artwork everywhere, manicured lawns, and bushes. For my antique 1985 911 is was perfect, get into third after turn one, and stay in third. Down to 3,500 RPM, and run to redline (90) and hit the brakes for the turn. I was the only air cooled car that that day. Lots of people commented how cool it was to see an old air cooled 911 on the track. I was not remotely as fast as the modern Porsches on track that have over double the HP, and every computer advance possible. But I had as much fun as anyone else. |

The Bartleson-Bidwell Party were the first wagon train to take the California Trail across Nevada in 1841. By 1869 there had been an estimated 450,000 people who had taken a covered wagon along the California Trail in Nevada. The 40 mile desert between Lovelock, and Fernley was the worst part of that trail because there was no water. In Fallon during the 1930's you could still find a lot of debris from the wagon trains that had crossed that stretch of desert. |

Illinois Automatic Computer (ILLIAC ) I, 1955 Image / ComputerHistory.org: https://www.computerhistory.org/collect.../catalog/102651955 Von Neumann Architecture: ILLIAC I was the first von Neumann architecture computer built and owned by an American university. This architecture became a blueprint for many other computers in the 1950s. Twin Design: Unlike most computers of its era, both ILLIAC I and its twin, ORDVAC, were identical in design, ensuring software compatibility between them. Computing Power: By 1956, ILLIAC I had more computing power than all computers at Bell Labs combined, a remarkable achievement for its time. Scientific Applications: ILLIAC I was used for various scientific tasks, including calculating Sputnik’s orbit after its launch in 1957. It wasn’t just a data processing machine; it could handle complex operations on small amounts of information. Place in History: ILLIAC I played a pivotal role in advancing computer science and paved the way for subsequent supercomputers. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1719320640.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1719320640.jpg The Confederacy's 'coal bomb,' manufactured by the Selma arsenal, was one of the sneakiest weapons of the Civil War.

The gunners aimed by using an interior machine gun-like pedestal with handles to control an aiming crosshair. This pedestal was linked to the gun turrets via an analogue computer that took the crosshair aiming point as input and adjusted the turret guns' aiming point for target size and speed, wind velocity, and other characteristics.
