The Galli Zugaro family is a baronial family whose ancestral seat was originally Popoli, Abruzzo.
The family gained notability through Baron Enzo Galli Zugaro (1898-1986) , the son of Domenico Galli Zugaro and Paola Sizzo de Noris, Countess of the Holy Roman Empire. Enzo attended the "Nobile Collegio Mondragone", a private college for young aristocrats which was based in Villa Mondragone. Enzo joined the Royal Italian Army and fought in both World Wars. In World War I he was on the Italian Front as a private. During the interwar period he was stationed in Italian Eritrea, Italian Ethiopia, and Italian Libya. In World War II he was promoted to "Tenente Colonnello d'Artiglieria" (Lieutenant Artillery Colonel) and was involved in the . According to a memoir from his wife, he wanted to volunteer and join the Falange in the Spanish Civil War, but she forbade him from leaving.
After World War II, Enzo became general secretary of King Umberto II until his retirement. He frequently travelled between Cascais, where Umberto II lived out his exile, and Rome, to carry out duties related to the royal cause.
In 1926, Enzo married Princess Fabiola Massimo, daughter of Fabrizio Massimo, Prince of Roviano, and Infanta Beatriz de Borbón y Borbò-Parma, Duchess of Antico-Corrado and daughter of Infante Carlos, Duke of Madrid, carlist pretender to the Spanish throne and legitimist pretender to the French throne. Enzo also held the titles of Gentiluomo di Palazzo della Regina d’Italia (Gentleman of the Palace of the Queen of Italy) , Commendatore degli Ordini dei Santi Maurizio e Lazzaro e della Corona d’Italia (Knight Commander of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus), and was awarded with 3 Croci di Guerra dal Valore Militare (Military Cross of Valor).
Enzo and Fabiola had four sons: and Emilio Galli Zugaro, who served as the Head of Communications at Allianz from 1992 until 2015. He is currently an author and scholar at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, teaching Communicative Leadership at the Faculty of Business Administration as well as holding courses at the European School of Management and Technology in Berlin.

The Digital Horn is a musical instrument produced by Casio in the mid-1980s.
Models
The original model was presented as either the DH-100 (silver) or DH-200 (black). The rare DH-500 was a slightly larger instrument with additional keys for semitone down and octave down, plus switches to enable or disable vibrato and reverb. A later model, DH-280, was the same instrument with an added "accompaniment module" which played standard Casio ROM packs common to Casio keyboards of the era. This module was also carried into the DH-800. The ROM pack provided with the instrument contained four songs: When the Saints go Marching In, Air on the G String, Chopin's Nocturne, and I Lost the DOH in my Clarinet. It also had 16 standard rhythms. The songs could be played with or without melody.
Each model has six built in synthesized sounds; saxophone, trumpet, synth-reed, oboe, clarinet, and flute. The tones produced are audibly more 'electronic' than the tones of the real instruments named, with the synth-reed and oboe sounding especially Theremin-like. The Digital Horn looks like a clarinet/saxophone hybrid, and can be played with fingerings similar to recorder over a two-and-a-half-octave range, or with the "Casio system" (similar to standard brass instrument fingering) which allows for up to 4 octaves to be played. Unlike an acoustic woodwind, there is a universal semitone-up key operated by the left pinky. The left thumb operates a sax-like octave-up key. A 'transpose' button permits the player to change to any chromatic key over a two-octave range. The DH-280 also has a tuning button. A key near the top of the instrument allows a portamento-like slide between notes. Finally, a switch permits the instrument to be played without blowing through it, making the keys operate like a digital keyboard.
These instruments were breath-sensitive for volume. Unlike other digital wind controllers, the breath actually flows through the instrument, making it feel similar to an acoustic woodwind instrument. Each came with a small built-in speaker, and also had a headphone out jack which could also be used for external amplification. MIDI OUT capability of the instrument allowed it to be used to control sounds from other MIDI synthesizers that offered a MIDI IN connection. These features, as well as the low price (since it was initially marketed as a toy), increased its appeal to budget-minded musicians.
Power for the instruments came from five AA batteries, with provision for connecting an aftermarket 7.5 volt AC adaptor.
The instruments are prone to developing a squeal due to a electrolytic capacitor deterioration; replacing the capacitor fixes the issue. None of the instruments had a read-out display of any type, so transposing, changing tone, and other functions generally required counting button-clicks.
MIDI implementation
The Digital Horn transmits initial breath pressure as MIDI note-on velocity, subsequent breath pressure changes during a sustained note as channel after-touch, and portamento on/off as CC 65 with values of 0 and 127.
Use in recording
This instrument was most notably used by The Elephant 6 Recording Company based in Athens, Georgia and by in live performance of I Feel Better than James Brown. Also notable in the intro to album cut "I Blew Up the United States."
References in literature
The term "zanzithophone" is used to describe the Digital Horn inside the inlay for Neutral Milk Hotel's album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, which featured the instrument, and in a footnote on page 66 of Kim Cooper's book with the same title about the album (New York: Continuum, 2005). Other than these two references, no one else calls the Casio DH Series horn a "Zanzithophone."

My Racing Career is a web-browser online racing management simulation game developed and published by F&L Creative. The game was originally released in May 13, 2011 on its beta version and its first full version was published in September 17, 2012 for Microsoft Windows.
Gameplay
Contrary to most racing management games, My Racing Career is based on managing a driver instead of a team. There are parts of the game where some team management is also available, but the core of the game is building up a driver to be the best in the world. The player will have to race in a Season Series (which represents a real racing championship) as well as other races during the season to improve his rating and training, gain better sponsors and progress. There are also National team races and Club races which the player can take part in alongside other managers.
Players can also experience team management in various ways. Formula 1 style teams exist in the game and make for a very intense team experience, while Nations Cup and Club management is easier and less time consuming.
