The Bili Sarny concentration camp (Білі Сарни концентраційний табір) was a Polish internment camp for political prisoners that was operated in 1938-39 at Sarny in the former (today in Volyn oblast, Ukraine, near the city of Sarny).
With the establishment of the detention centre in Bereza Kartuzka, Poland became the third country in the world (after the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany) to establish a system of internment centres.
History
The camp was created in 1938, based on the design of the Bereza Kartuzka camp. The inspiration for the establishment of a system of concentration camps in Poland came from Hermann Göring's visit to Poland in 1934.
Individuals were incarcerated at Bili Sarny by administrative decision, without right of appeal, for a period of 3 months. The incarceration could be extended for another 3 months (cases are known of individuals being incarcerated for a year). Detained there, in addition to subversion suspects and political opponents of the ruling Sanacja (Sanation) regime, were financial criminals and persons suspected of such crimes (including a substantial proportion of Jews ), common criminals (especially recidivists), and in the prison's final phase, persons suspected of sabotage and espionage for Nazi Germany.
The Bili Sarny camp was organized by the director of the Political Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, , and the head of that Department's Nationalities Section (Wydział Narodowościowy), Colonel .

Ric Cabot Podmore (born January 9, 1961 - Claire Cabot Podmore) is a songwriter, recording artist and record producer. He is best known as the creative force behind the 80’s AOR band ARRIVAL. Podmore’s credits include work with multi-Grammy Award winning drummer John ‘JR’ Robinson, multi-Grammy Award winning engineer Jeff Woodruff, Grammy Award winning engineer Kevin Clock, multi-platinum producer Beau Hill, artists Mark Free (King Kobra, Unruly Child), Kimberley Dahme (Boston, Tom Hambrick Band) Robbie Wyckoff (Celine Dion, Michael McDonald, Barbra Streisand), Cactus Mosher (Highway 101), Nate, Paul, and Kip Winger (Winger), Larry Thompson (Stevie Wonder) and Dennis Holt (Kerry Livgren, Deneice Williams).
Podmore’s professional career began in 1980 at age 19 when he was introduced to up and coming producer Beau Hill while recording at Applewood Studios in Denver, CO. Recognizing the talent of the young Podmore, Hill tutored him with insights ranging from songwriting arrangement and studio production to artist management and music publishing. During this time, Podmore received his first taste of national prominence, collaborating with Hill and guitarist David Zychek on the Airborne album, “The Dig”.
From 1982-1985, Podmore produced, recorded and toured with the band Saint Germaine, eventually capturing a victory in ‘The Stroh’s Superstar Talent Search’ before disbanding in 1985.
In 1986, Podmore formed ARRIVAL with Charlie McCormick and Norm Peterson. ARRIVAL featured 80’s icon Mark Free as lead vocalist in the bands early years. The band’s first album, “Out Of Nowhere,” was never released and eventually Free moved on to record with the bands Signal and Unruly Child. Throughout the next several years, Podmore and McCormick were able to keep their collaborative partnership in tact and ARRIVAL continued to record, amassing a large library of master recordings. In 1998, ARRIVAL released their critically acclaimed cd, “Delayed,” produced, engineered and mixed by Podmore and Kevin Clock.
More recently, Podmore has been working in the field of film and television production, writing and producing songs featuring Robbie Wyckoff, Pam Savage, Kimberley Dahme and Brian Butler.
Since 1991, Ric Cabot Podmore has held the position of President and CEO of As Is - No Warranty Music, Inc., a publishing firm based in Denver, Colorado.

Pilsen Photo Group
A.K.A. "The Pilsen Photo Group" also PPG
Pilsen Photo Group is a collection of fine artists: Richard Wilson(deceased), Obleo Beck, Ned Broderick, Renae Lillie, Jeff Mickey, Michael Wasniowski and Jeff "Ffej" Yudacufski. All work in a variety of fine art photographic processes and hale from the Chicago south loop neighborhood know as Pilsen.
The Pilsen Photo Group is unique in its varied alternative photographic styles, processess and techniques. Work shown at PPG exhibitions, often lets go of convention, offering some of the most unusual photography currently produced.
Beginnings:
While frequenting the local bars and cafes of Pilsen, artists Richard Wilson, Jeff Mickey, Ned Broderick as well as Obleo Beck and Jeff Yudacufski would often discuss the formation of a photographic collective to create and exhibit their work. In late 2003 the talking was over and they began to look for venues to present their work.
First Exhibition:
In early 2004 Robin Rios offered to have the first major exhibition of the Pilsen Photo Group at her gallery. It took place in early 04' at "4Art's"(4Art inc)gallery on Halsted.
The Pilsen Photo Group Gallery:
The acquisition of Pilsen Photo Group Gallery has always been shrouded in mystery. There have been many stories about it but none ever confirmed.
What is known is that shortly after the initial show at 4Art, members were interested in having a space of their own to exhibit work, give workshops and presentations.
By mid 2004 The Pilsen Photo Group Gallery opened at 1839 S. Halsted in Chicago's East Pilsen. While hosting the monthly openings it became know as a "club house" of sorts. People would often drop by for a conversation and or a beer.
By late 2005 the labor of creating new work and running a gallery had taken it's toll.
The last PPG Gallery exhibition took place on Friday, January 13th, 2006.
After the gallery closed the group had more time to work and plan for bigger things.

Senthamil Thillainathan (born 1981 in Sri Lanka) is a Sri Lanka born, British based convicted murderer.
Thillainathan was born in Sri Lanka but moved to the Wembley area of London as a child, and quickly got involved in gangland crime. At one stage he lived at Kingswinford in the West Midlands.
He committed his first murder on 17 June 2001, when he and three other men pounced on a parked car occupied by four other Sri Lankan men. He and his gang attacked the men and killed 25-year-old Arvithan Muthukamarasamy. The three other men were badly injured but survived, even though one of them lost a hand in the attack. Thillainathan had organised the attack because he was under the wrong impression that one of them had scratched his BMW car.
On 18 February 2002, Thillainathan and his gang abducted and murdered 18-year-old Supenthar Tamachardan before dumping his body in Roe Green Park and setting it alight. Mr Tamachardan had owed his killers £200 and they killed him after he failed to pay off his debt.
Thillainathan was found guilty on a double charge of murder on 6 June 2003 and sentenced to life imprisonment three days later. He appealed against his convictions but his case was thrown out by the Court of Appeal on 20 May 2005.
No recommended minimum term was reported at the time of his trial, and neither the High Court nor the Home Secretary has been reported to have made a decision on Thillainathan's case.
