A woman with a black apron is stirring tomatoes
 into a pan of vegetables in Bursa, Turkey. 
Visually impaired, she is being helped by an assistant, 
who is a spouse of a Turkish Rotary member.
Elsewhere in the kitchen, other cooks and Rotary spouses are preparing meatballs,
 slicing and peeling eggplants, and measuring out cookie dough.
 At a table in an adjacent dining area, a man is reading
 a recipe from a Braille cookbook.
The cookbook, "Good Smells From the Kitchen,"
has enabled many members of the Library of Turkey for the Visually Disabled
 to enter the kitchen with new confidence.
"For the first time I made lentil meatballs," says Sϋheyla Karayalçin,
 a book recipient. 
"I had never done it before. I let others taste it, it was nice. 
I am very excited to have a special recipe book for us 
[people with visual impairments]."
The activity is part of a project by Rotary members in western Turkey, 
who have partnered with the library to produce the country's first cookbook 
for the visually impaired,
 printed in Braille and recorded on audio CD. 
Several dozen copies of the book have rolled off the library's presses 
and have been recorded in the library's studio, 
and given free to library members. 
Additional copies are printed as Rotary members 
secure funding and line up new sponsors.

Günes Ertaş says fellow Rotary club members came up 
with the idea after they had helped the library purchase
 Braille machines and other equipment through Rotary grants.

One day consists of 86,400 seconds. This is one of them






A sailor was caught AWOL as he tried to sneak on board his ship at about 3 am
 The chief petty officer spied him and ordered the sailor to stop. 
The officer ordered the sailor, 
"Take this broom and sweep every link on this anchor chain 
by morning or it's the brig for you!" 


The sailor picked up the broom
 and started to sweep the chain. 



Just then, a tern landed on the broom handle. 
The sailor yelled at the bird to leave, but it didn't. 
The lad picked the tern off the broom handle, 
giving the bird a toss. 



The bird left, only to return and light once again on the broom handle. 
The sailor went through the same routine all over again, 
with the same result. 



He couldn't get any cleaning done because 
he could only sweep at the chain once or twice 
before the silly bird came back. 



When morning came, so did the chief petty officer,
 to check up on his wayward sailor. 



"What on earth have you been doing all night? 
This chain is no cleaner than when you started!
 What have you to say for yourself, sailor?" 
barked the chief. 



"Honest, chief," came the reply, 
"I tossed a tern all night and couldn't sweep a link!"
