I have read that Giacomo Puccini had a great-grandfather who lived in the Baroque era, who was also an opera composer named Giacomo Puccini. I am curious, so I would like to order scores or recordings of works by this composer.

This is a difficult topic to research, because if I entered "Giacomo Puccini" as a search word, I would get hundreds of websites about the better-known Giacomo Puccini. Does anyone know anything about this composer?

Go to the passport office for example. Every personel manning the issue department desks (about 30) were Muslims! Check the home office, police force, NHS, DHSS and so on!

A dentist noticed that his next patient, an elderly lady,
was looking very nervous so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put
on his gloves.


"Do you know how they make these gloves?" he asked.


"No, I don't" she replied.


"Well," he spoofed, "there's a building in China with a big tank of latex.
Workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their hands, let them
dry,
then peel off the gloves and throw them into boxes of the right size."


She didn't crack a smile. "Oh well, I tried," he thought.


But five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the dental procedure,
she burst out laughing.


"What's so funny?" he asked.


"I was just picturing how condoms are made!" she said.

George W. Bush was visiting an elementary school, and the 4th grade class he sat through began a discussion related to words and their meanings.

The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the class in a discussion of the word “tragedy.” So, George W. asked the class for an example of a tragedy.

One boy stood up and said, “If my best friend who lives next door is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy.”

“No,” said Bush, “that would be an accident.”

A girl raised her hand and said, “If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone on board, that would be a tragedy.”

“I’m afraid not,” the President said. “That’s what we would call a Great Loss.”

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. President Bush searched the room and asked, “Isn’t there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

Finally, way in the back of the room, Johnny raised his hand, and in a quiet voice, he said, “If Air Force One, carrying Mr. and Mrs. Bush, was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, THAT would be a tragedy.”

“That’s right! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?” asked the President.

“Well,” Johnny said, “because it wouldn’t be an accident and it sure as hell wouldn’t be a Great Loss…”

I need to get new tires for a 2002 Chevrolet Tracker. The current tires are 195/75-15's. I am having a hard time finding these tires for a reasonable price. My question is can I put 195/60-15's on this vehicle? These ones are cheap and I can get them anywhere. The other size I have looked at is 65's, these are a good opption as far as money goes, I am just unsure as to what tires I can use.
