Select is the second studio album by Kim Wilde, released on May 10, 1982 via RAK label. The first single from this album, "Cambodia", was released in November 1981 and signalled a different sound from the Wilde camp, with an electronic and synth sound different from the rock sound of her last album. The songs were again written by Marty and Ricky Wilde and produced by Ricky Wilde.
Kim Wilde is the eponymous debut studio album by British singer Kim Wilde, released on June 29, 1981 via the RAK label. The songs on the album were all written by Kim's father, the successful 1950s rock and roll singer Marty Wilde, and her younger brother Ricky Wilde and most of the music was played by the then current line-up of the symphonic rock band The Enid. Production duties were fulfilled by Ricky Wilde. The cover portraits were taken by renowned British photographer Gered Mankowitz.

The Hits Collection (Kim Wilde album). The Hits Collection is a compilation album by Kim Wilde. The album was released on March 6, 2006. Originally the album was intended to be a repackaged version of the 1996 compilation Best of Kim Wilde. When the album was announced, the webmaster of Wilde's fansite contacted EMI and asked if it would be a better idea to release a new compilation of Wilde's EMI "first" years 1981-1983 instead.
That said, it's a far better album than the patchy debut; the songs, again by brother Rikki Wilde with occasional collaborations by father Marty Wilde, don't have the bubblegum tinge that colored much of 1981's Kim Wilde. The arrangements are more synth-oriented, at times approaching the dark atmospherics of Japan or Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.

Work - Volume 26, issue 3
WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment & Rehabilitation is an interdisciplinary, international journal which publishes high quality peer-reviewed manuscripts covering the entire scope of the occupation of work. The journal's subtitle has been deliberately laid out: The first goal is the prevention of illness, injury, and disability. When this goal is not achievable, the attention focuses on assessment to design client-centered intervention, rehabilitation, treatment, or controls that use scientific evidence to support best practice. WORK occasionally publishes thematic issues, but in general, issues cover a wide range of topics such as ergonomic considerations with children, youth and students, the challenges facing an aging workforce, workplace violence, injury management, performing artists, ergonomic product evaluations, and the awareness of the political, cultural, and environmental determinants of health related to work.
Dr. Karen Jacobs, the founding editor, and her editorial board especially encourage the publication of research studies, clinical practice, case study reports, as well as personal narratives and critical reflections of lived work experiences (autoethnographic/autobiographic scholarship), Sounding Board commentaries and Speaking of Research articles which provide the foundation for better understanding research to facilitate knowledge dissemination. Narrative Reflections on Occupational Transitions, a new column, is for persons who have successfully transitioned into, between, or out of occupations to tell their stories in a narrative form. With an internationally renowned editorial board, WORK maintains high standards in the evaluation and publication of manuscripts. All manuscripts are reviewed expeditiously and published in a timely manner. WORK prides itself on being an author-friendly journal.
WORK celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2015.

Job matching and return to work: Occupational rehabilitation as the link
Authors: Isernhagen, Susan J.
Abstract: Return to work after injury or illness is important for the worker and the employer. Medical providers manage and treat the worker with the illness or injury. Except in cases of focused specialists, the medical professional's role is to take care of a patient, rather than empower a worker. As much as there is promotion of the workers compensation health care system to be similar to sports medicine, there are significant dissimilarities. One major barrier is …that the medical caregivers do not know the demands of jobs as they would know the details of sports. Thus, there is a gap in returning a worker to function as the medical professional cannot accurately match the worker to specific jobs. A new model of job function matching, based on research and skills of occupational rehabilitation professionals, is proposed to bridge the gap between the medical community, the employers and the workers.

Consulting in industry: Moving beyond traditional interventions
Authors: Ege, Scott C.
Abstract: Despite increased efforts to address musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the work place, these injuries continue significantly impact the bottom line financial performance of companies, not to mention the health and safety of their most important resource – their workers. As MSD costs continue to rise, rehabilitation professionals must approach effective injury management and prevention processes from an onsite perspective. A paradigm shift is in order. Successful practitioners need to transform themselves from a …clinical specialist to an onsite consultant. This article introduces various elements that are critical to the successful transformation of an onsite consultant. Effective onsite injury management and prevention concepts are discussed. Case studies are also presented to further illustrate the value of the onsite consultant approach. Show more
How multiple interventions reduced injuries and costs in one plant
Authors: DeWeese, Curt
Abstract: Preventing work place injuries requires more than ergonomically correct work stations. In 1999, flexible plastic packaging producer, Pliant Corporation of Macedon, NY, initiated the presence of an onsite Physical Therapist to further efforts in making work stations safe and to develop a comprehensive approach in preventing and managing worker injuries. The process started with analysis of the functional demands of the work performed, elimination of ergonomic stressors, and development of daily stretching …programs for employees to perform. In the second and third year of the program, objective functional job descriptions and minimum strength criteria were created as well as work task specific post-offer pre-work screens. This comprehensive approach has reduced the total number of OSHA recordable injuries, reduced the overall incident rate and assisted in reducing turnover. Show more

The influence of a Functional Capacity Evaluation on fitness for work certificates in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain
Authors: Oesch, Peter R. | Kool, Jan P. | Bachmann, S. | Devereux, J.
Abstract: Background: Comprehensive medical assessments in the majority of patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) have failed to assess working capacity. Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) has become increasingly popular in the evaluation of working capacity in CLBP patients. This study investigates the influence of functional testing on decision making concerning medical fitness assessments for work. Methods: A randomized clinical trial comparing the effect of a function-centred (FCT) versus a pain-centred treatment (PCT) in patients …with CLBP was performed. According to the legal requirements physicians issued Fitness for Work Certificates (FWCs) after rehabilitation. In the FCT group physicians were in possession of the results of FCE while this was not the case in the PCT group. Three experts assessed the FWCs and rated the quality and the information provided regarding working capacity in the previous work. Results: Rating of the issued FWCs proved reliable (ICC=0.77–0.92). Quality of FWCs and information regarding working capacity in the previous work differed significantly between the two groups (chi-square, p=0.03, resp. =0.008). There was a trend towards a higher attested work capacity in the FCT group (Mann-Whitney, p=0.071). Conclusions: Functional Capacity Evaluation positively influences quality and information regarding working capacity of medical Fitness for Work Certificates in patients with chronic low back pain.

Test-retest reliability of a WRULD functional capacity evaluation in healthy adults
Authors: Soer, R. | Gerrits, E.H.J. | Reneman, M.F.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine test-retest reliability of a Functional Capacity Evaluation for patients with non-specific Work Related Upper Limb Disorders (WRULD FCE). The study sample included 33 healthy adults, consisting of 14 males and 19 females with a mean age of 29.2 years. The WRULD FCE consisted of 8 different tests including 26 items measuring repetitive movements, duration, working in awkward positions, forceful movements and static postures. Two FCE sessions were held …with a 10-day interval. Means, 95% confidence intervals, one-way random Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs), 95% limits of agreement and repeated measures were calculated. An ICC between 0.75 and 0.90 was considered as good and an ICC above 0.90 was considered as an excellent reliability. The results showed that 14 of 26 items (54%) had excellent reliability, 9 of 26 items (35%) had good reliability and 3 of 26 items (11%) had moderate reliability based on ICC values. Significant learning effects were present in the Purdue Pegboard Task and in the Complete Minnesota Dexterity Test. It is concluded that the WRULD FCE is reliable in healthy adults. Show more

The functional IME: A linkage of expertise across the disability continuum
Authors: Clifton Jr., David W.
Abstract: Disability assessment remains a significant challenge especially in welfare systems like workers' compensation and disability insurance. Many of today's managed care strategies do not impact on the seminal issue of return to gainful employment. Employers, insurers, attorneys and case managers routinely request independent medical examinations (IMEs) as a means of determining degree of disability, functional limitations, work restrictions and "estimated" physical capacities. However, this approach is limited because physicians are not trained …in the functional model of disability assessment. IMEs address pathology and impairments which represent a portion of the disability continuum described by the World Health Organization, Nagi, Guccione and others [e.g. pathology-impairment-disability-handicap]. Functional capacity evaluations or FCEs are often performed by physical and occupational therapists who are trained in a function-based model of disability assessment. Unlike an IME physician who completes "Estimated Physical Capacities", therapists measure actual physical functioning. The value of both IMEs and FCEs can be enhanced through a "functional IME" that combines both models; medical-based examination and a function-based disability evaluation. This combination enhances the assessment of the relationship of pathology to impairment and impairment to disability status especially, in musculoskeletal disorders which tend to drive costs in workers' compensation.

Use of Functional Capacity Evaluations by rehabilitation providers in NSW
Authors: Cotton, Adele | Schonstein, Eva | Adams, Roger
Abstract: Returning the disabled worker to maximum productivity is a shared responsibility between the treating health practitioners and employers, with the insurer as an overseer of the injury management plan. Allied health professionals have responded to the need for standardized tools to assess work capacity by developing Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs). Literature exists outlining the limitations of FCEs in injury management systems; however, little is known about their uses and perceived usefulness. Questionnaires were posted …to managers and therapists of accredited rehabilitation providers. The questionnaires consisted of both open and closed format questions. The response rate for the managers' questionnaire was 53%, while the therapists' questionnaire was 27%. The majority of rehabilitation providers use an assessment of their Own Design. Eight commercial FCEs were identified as being used. The majority of therapists use only one type of FCE. Therapists rated FCEs highly on their flexibility with Own Design assessment rated as significantly more flexible than the most frequently used commercial FCEs. From the data collected, it appears that cost is the main factor influencing choice of assessment. Level of evidence supporting capabilities of particular assessments does not appear to influence use. It seems that, despite there being poor research evidence to support the use of many brands of FCEs, they are still commonly used by rehabilitation providers. To achieve optimal use of FCEs, further research is required on the types of adaptations therapists make to commercial assessments and properties of Own Design assessments, including reliability and validity studies.

Cultural diversity for health professions
Authors: Glazner, Linda K.
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to help focus attention on why clinical health professionals need to be concerned about cultural diversity. It is not intended to be an exhaustive report on cultural diversity. Rather, attention is focused on the practitioner and how this provider can and should use and understand cultural diversity. While most of the examples in this article come from the press in the United States, the information has a much broader, universal …and global implication. Show more

Sculpture's sale brings $7 million to museum | Indiana
ELKHART – Officials at a northern Indiana museum say it was "a very pleasant shock" that a 19th-century sculpture it had owned more than 40 years recently sold at auction for $7.55 million, exceeding estimates for the work.
The Ruthmere Museum's 1894 limestone sculpture by French artist Auguste Rodin sold Nov. 12 at Sotheby's New York gallery.
Bill Firstenberger, the museum's executive director, said the final selling price had surpassed Sotheby's initial estimates, which was between $4 million and $6million.
"It was a shock that it sold for that much. A very pleasant shock," Firstenberger said.
Profits from the sale of the Rodin sculpture, named La Cariatide Tombe Portant Sa Pierre, or The Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone, will help build a $10 million endowment for the museum.
The proceeds will also pay for overhauls that museum officials had wanted to address but lacked the necessary cash.
But the sale comes with mixed feelings for the people at Ruthmere.
"This is absolutely a one-off, one-time decision thing. There is no appetite or desire to see what else we can get for something else. It's never been done before, and we hope it's never ever needed to be done again," Firstenberger said.
In addition to the endowment, the sale could show donors that the museum is serious about not wasting resources, he said.
"We don't want to capriciously sit on a resource that's not only draining some of that resource away but could be used toward the goal," he said.
Firstenberger noted that none of the museum's top donors have said the sale was a bad idea or indicated they would stop their financial support, adding that he feels confident it was right decision.
"We've had it for 40 years. We've been the stewards of it for 40 years and were able to share it with everyone," he said. "It was time for it to serve a new purpose."

This Is Parks & Recreation's Most Underrated TV Episode
By Nina Starner/June 9, 2020 4:02 pm EST
If you're a fan of Parks and Recreation, Michael Schur's heartfelt NBC series that ran for seven seasons from 2009 to 2015, you probably have your own favorites out of the show's library of 126 episodes. The story of Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), an overeager public servant in Pawnee, Indiana's Parks and Recreation department who wants to change the world one tiny step at a time, the show earned acclaim from fans and critics alike for its sweet heart, smart jokes, and incredible ensemble cast, many of whom became famous thanks to their time on the show.
A perfect example is Chris Pratt, who plays schlubby, lovable doofus Andy Dwyer for the series' entire run. Thanks to his role as Andy, Pratt ended up landing a coveted leading man role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — since 2014, he has played Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star-Lord — but fans still remember him as loyal Andy, who gets his own happy ending as Parks and Recreation comes to a close. Alongside his wife, April Ludgate-Dwyer (Aubrey Plaza), Andy moves to Washington D.C. and starts a family, but before he does, he says one last goodbye to Pawnee.
During its final season, Parks and Rec gave both Andy and Pratt a perfect send-off with one of its last episodes, "The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show." From its bonkers representation of Andy's mind to its heartfelt ending, here's why Andy Dwyer's swan song is Parks and Recreation's most underrated episode.
"The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show" gave Andy his happy ending
After working as a shoe-shiner and Leslie's assistant for most of the series, Andy finally finds professional success in Pawnee as Johnny Karate, a children's performer who ends up with his own cable access television show. As Johnny Karate, his alter-ego, Andy finally gets to live out his dream of being a rock star in his own way. But as he prepares to move to D.C., he realizes he has to leave Johnny Karate behind in Indiana.
For Johnny Karate's final show, his friends pull out all the stops, and real world Parks and Rec fans finally get to see a fully fleshed-out episode of Andy's ridiculous yet charming children's show. Regular segments include Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott) as "Dr. Smartbrain" and Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) as "Carpenter Ron." There's a celebration of Andy's progress during his time in Pawnee, a cameo by professional wrestler John Cena, and even an appearance by Andy's other alter-ego, FBI agent Burt Macklin. In short, "The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show" hits every note perfectly, including its emotional climax.
As April watches her husband's joyful final show from the sidelines, she is suddenly struck with a huge swell of emotion, feeling regret that she's tearing Andy away from a job and life he loves so much. However, Andy reassures her that he's okay with leaving Johnny Karate for good to be with her and help her achieve her professional goals in D.C., and the two finally celebrate the next stage of their life together.
The small details of "The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show"
For all its bombastic silliness, the real reason that "The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show" ranks among Parks and Rec's best installments is the fact that the writers scattered hilarious small details throughout the episode. From fake commercials by local Pawnee personalities (a tactic the show would later reprise in its socially distanced 2020 reunion) to the Johnny Karate show's ridiculous script (which, judging by its constant references to Batman and other heroes, was probably written by Andy himself), "The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show" puts Andy's innate sweetness on perfect display. It all culminates in a sing-along performed by the cast, another thing the reunion did all over again.
Ultimately, Parks and Rec's big heart is on perfect display in this episode, and though its pitch-perfect finale is just as special as "The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show," many fans probably would have been pretty happy if Andy's spectacular final turn as Johnny Karate had served as the entire show's series finale. Watching Andy — and Pratt himself — rise from obscurity to success and happiness is an incredibly rewarding experience, and even though he gets another happy ending with April in the actual series finale, an entire episode devoted to his journey provides some pretty special closure.
The entirety of Parks and Recreation is available to stream on Netflix and Hulu now.

United Loaded with Fire Power
Manchester United have seen plenty of strike pairing over the years, most of them producing the goods for the club that has propelled The Red Devils to become one of the top sides in the world. The likes of Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole, Mark Hughes and Eric Cantona, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez with Cristiano Ronaldo operating from behind have all been successful in bringing silverware to the club. And perhaps United have struck the gold mine with the capture of Robin van Persie and although he hasn't had much game time with Wayne Rooney, the little time that they have had might just be enough for all to be wary of perhaps the most deadliest strike force in the this year's English Premier League.
with almost 70 odd goals between them in the last season, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie can form the most devastating strike partnership in the history of the English Premier League. When United announced the signing of RvP from Arsenal at the beginning of the season, many people had predicted that it would be the end of Wayne Rooney's time at the club. However, that has not been the case and United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is looking to unleash these two deadly strikers when the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal come face to face with them.
And not only that, United have Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and Danny Welbeck on the bench, ready to come on at any time. With the abundance of riches that Manchester United possesses, many clubs can be extremely worried about the score line when they face United. Sir Alex has come out many times saying that the current crop of strikers that he has at his disposal is comparable to the strike force that he had during their treble winning season of 1999, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Teddy Sheringham providing more than adequate cover for Yorke and Cole, who were the regular starters.
But that is still, all on paper, as United have had to break their sweat to beat the likes of Fulham and Southampton in the English Premier League and Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League. It only goes to show that the team needs plenty of time to gel and in order to do that, United need to play both their star strikers up front and stay with the traditional 4-4-2 system instead of deploying a lone striker in RvP and Rooney in the hole in the 4-2-2-1-1 system.
Maybe that would mean the club's new Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa would have to play on the left side of the midfield but that too, wouldn't be bad because the midfielder made a name for himself playing there before switching over to the playmaker role. United play Tottenham Hotspur in the League at home next and both RvP and Rooney are expected to make the starting lineup for the match and that means very bad news for the Spurs defense.

JAMIE CARRAGHER insists Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool must not let Chelsea extend their lead at the top of the table.
Antonio Conte's Blues are currently sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Chelsea are currently on a 12-match winning run and look in imperious form, having conceded just two goals in that time.
And Liverpool legend Carragher insists the Blues' title rivals cannot let them extend the gap at the top any further if they want to win the league.
"Chelsea are big favourites, and of course Liverpool are in with a shout," Carragher told Sky Sports.
"With the run Chelsea are on, that doesn't happen often, and there's a reason for that. That run will come to an end.
"If I'm a Liverpool player, the manager, or at Man City or Arsenal, I'm thinking we must keep the points gap as it is.
"The worry is if the gap gets bigger. Keep it as it is for as long as possible, and Chelsea will drop points, whether through a bad run of form or injuries.
"Liverpool play them at the end of January, I'd be thinking if they can keep them at six points until then, get them to Anfield. OK, there will be pressure on Liverpool to win that game, but the longer the season goes on there will be more pressure on Chelsea too.

Patience Jonathan Cries Out, Says, 'EFCC Sent Assassins After Me, Bugged My Phones'
Mrs. Patience Jonathan, wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of sending assassins after her.
Mrs. Jonathan said she had survived two of such attempts but urged the House of Representatives to quickly intervene before the EFCC would succeed in the alleged plot to eliminate her.
In a letter written by her lawyers, Granville Abibo (SAN) & Co, Mrs. Jonathan said,
''There have been assassination attempts, at least twice, between February and April, 2017, against our client ostensibly by the operatives of the EFCC along the Yenagoa-Mbaima Road, Bayelsa State, in furtherance of its unlawful actions against the former first family."
Patience also accused the anti-graft agency of bugging her telephone lines, adding that agents of the commission had been sending threatening text messages to her.
The former President's wife said, "The EFCC and its agents have repeatedly bugged the personal telephones of our client and her relations through its many operatives and has inundated her with numerous threatening calls and text messages."
She said apart from the EFCC, other agencies of the government, like the Federal Inland Revenue Service had intimidated her.
Patience alleged that officials of the FIRS stormed her hotel in Bayelsa State two months ago and vandalised its properties.
Mrs. Jonathan added, "On May 3, 2017, officials of the FIRS, in a convoy of about 20 trucks and over 70 personnel, raided our client's NGO – Aridolf Jo Resort Wellness and Spa Limited – situated at Kpansia Expressway, Bayelsa State, and orchestrated a massive destruction of personal properties belonging to our client without any lawful court order or search warrant and caused mayhem there under the guise of trying to collect unpaid taxes without following any due process provided by law to do so."
She stated that apart from her bank accounts, the commission had frozen those of her relatives and her NGOs which she said were only carrying out charity work for the benefit of Nigerians.
Patience said the anti-graft agency had also seized properties belonging to her NGOs.
The spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, refused to react to the allegations levelled against the commission by Mrs. Jonathan when he was contacted on the telephone on Monday.
Meanwhile, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, on Monday, said the allegation by Mrs. Jonathan that the agency was harassing her was misleading and spurious.
The NDLEA also stated that the former President's wife's allegation was an attempt to take issue with the agency as it had no case against her.
Mrs. Jonathan had petitioned the House of Representatives through her lawyer, Granville Abibo, alleging that she was being subjected to continuous harassment by the EFCC and the NDLEA.
But the anti-narcotic agency, in a statement on Monday by its Head, Public Affairs, Mitchell Ofoyeju, said any individual, found culpable of drug trafficking and other related offences, would be duly prosecuted by the agency irrespective of his or her status, Punch reports.
Ofoyeju said, "Mrs. Jonathan's allegation is spurious and misleading. NDLEA has no case against the former First Lady. It is rather surprising that the agency was mentioned in her petition when she is not being investigated.
"The NDLEA remains committed to the fight against drug cultivation, trafficking and abuse. It will not harass but those who violate the provisions of the Act, no matter their status, shall not go unpunished."

Q: unable to convert raw data to json format after replacing the \(slash) I am  passing the raw data and removing unwanted slash and trying to convert to json format, unable to proceed.
json spot = {"LoginDetails":"{\"firstName\":\"abcd\",\"lastName\":\"\",\"middleName\":\"\",\"phoneNumber\":\"6944000000\",\"phoneCountryCode\":\"+91\",\"dob\":\"1945-02-22\"}"}
string a = spot
def ab = a.replace("\\", "")
json st = ab

And request st
When method POST
Then status 200
Getting error

net.minidev.json.parser.ParseException: Unexpected token f

How to resolve this issue and convert the above payload into json format?
NOTE: After conversion to json firstname, phonenumber should be passed dynamically from the preceding API calls.

A: If u want escape slash with json, you could try
a.replaceAll("\\", "\\\\")

or change it to unicode.
a.replaceAll("\\", "\u005C")

Both of them is workable for browser but not sure for karate, maybe you need change a bit by yourself.

Springfield "Trapdoor" - The U.S. Army's First Standardized Rifle
By Numrich Gun Parts Corporation, Posted in Military, Rifle
At the close of the Civil War, the United States Army had a stockpile of approximately one-million .58 caliber rifled muskets. It was a sizable and expensive cache of weapons that were on the verge of becoming obsolete.
With a new age of repeating arms dawning and inventions such as smokeless powder, metallic cartridges growing in popularity, the landscape of the battlefield was primed for change. Guns such as the Henry Rifle and the Spencer Carbine had already proven their worth in battle, so the Army was left with a big decision to make about what should be done with this massive arsenal of outdated rifles? Issuing them to troops could be detrimental to the safety of the soldiers, and not using them would be a wasteful expense that the Army could ill afford.
With the experience of war still swirling in the government's mind, now the focus was on being prepared for any future conflicts. Most decision-makers were of the mindset, that if another war were to happen, it would likely be against a foreign army carrying single shot rifles. This made them feel that a feasible remedy would be to develop a breech loading conversion for these muskets. This would enable them to maintain a level battlefield with the arms being carried by any potential opposing forces, and still continue to allow the conservation of ammunition with a single shot rifle.
Prior to the start of the Civil War, the U.S. Army had already begun the research for adopting a centerfire cartridge, and a mechanism that was known as the Morse breech loading system. However, the onset of the war brought an immediate stop to all production and development of these things. The Army had to direct their energy to the production of guns quickly to arm the troops for battle. But once the war had ended, and it became apparent to many that the Army was going to resume their focus on such endeavors, countless inventors suddenly began trying to sell their conversion patents to the government.
During this time a Master Armorer at the National Armory at Springfield named Erskine S. Allin had already been instructed to begin working on such a conversion. Allin had access to many of the previous samples that had been submitted and stored at the armory, so it didn't take him long to narrow his focus on what he felt would be the best solution. His first prototype was built using a Springfield Model 1861 Musket. He cut away the rear of the barrel to access the chamber and installed a cam-locked breech block.
He continued to work on improving this concept for a number of years, and offered several variations of his "Trapdoor" design during his time at the Springfield Armory. Although, gaining the trust and acceptance from the Army was not as simple as just handing over a working sample. Back then, bureaucracy played a big role in the final decision making.
The first of Allin's guns to actually be tested out by troops was built using 1863 Muskets. These rifles would be designated as the Springfield Model 1865. However, it was quickly realized that the mechanics of the gun, and more specifically the extraction system, were not going to be strong enough to offer consistent reliability, so no declaration of official acceptance was ever made.
Allin went back to work and replaced the extraction system with a more meticulous design using a series of springs. This next rifle would also be fitted with a new centerfire cartridge, the .50-70, which had been developed by Steven Vincent Benet of the Frankford Arsenal. Though it was not standardized, the .50-70 cartridge would become the first widely used centerfire cartridge by the U.S. Army. To accommodate this new cartridge each of the rifles would be bored out and relined with either steel or iron rifled bores, which increased the weight of each gun to well over 10 lbs. These guns are often referred to as the Second Allin Conversion or the Springfield Model 1866.
Now by this point, the government had convened the Laidley Board and tasked the board with selecting a new breech-loading rifle for official adoption. The board considered many quality and durable designs, such as the Remington Rolling Block and the Sharps Falling Block rifles, but not the Springfield Allin conversions, because they were thought to be under development and therefore ineligible for final selection. The board would ultimately recommend adoption of a forerunner to the Martini-Henry known as the Peabody Conversion.
This recommendation was not well received and immediately provoked protest. American inventors and wealthy businessmen were among the many folks that saw the need to travel to Washington, and formally air their grievances with the board's decision. The government offered little resistance to these protests, and made a request for the board to reconvene and instructed it to give consideration to what the Springfield Armory had to offer.
The result of this second board review lead to the selection of the improved Allin Conversion. It was the Springfield Model 1866, and it would be the first of these "trapdoor" rifles to see real use by the Army. It was issued to the men who were stationed along the Bozeman Trail. The soldiers armed with the Allin rifles were tasked with protecting the flood of settlers traveling by wagon train along this route during the Gold Rush.
The use of the trail had been outlined by the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851, but with a number of Native American nations located along its route, the threat of hostility was never thought to be completely out of the question. This is why the Army saw the need for troops to remain there as peacekeepers. Ironically, it would be a group of these peacekeeping soldiers that would spark a conflict with the natives. The soldiers had set out to locate a horse thief that they believed to be in a nearby teepee village, and while they were there attempting to locate him, the tribes chief was shot and killed. All of the soldiers in the group were immediately slaughtered and larger hostilities arose as a result. A part of the treaty had stated that the white men and the natives would each handle their own discipline, which the soldiers had essentially ignored and therefore broke the agreement.
In retaliation, the Sioux nation lead by Chief Red Cloud, attacked two of the nearby Army posts that were established along the trail. This would be the first real test in battle for the Allin Conversion rifle. The rapid fire of the Model 1866 took the native warriors by surprise, and ultimately aided in defending the posts. However, the rifle, as we have seen with countless others, quickly exposed its shortcomings under such stress. So once again, Erskine Allin would take what he had learned and make the necessary corrections to his "Trapdoor" Springfield.
The major issue reported was a separation of the barrel lining. The solution was to use a completely new barrel which would be attached to a separate Allin type receiver. The new barrel was four inches shorter, and was attached using only two barrel bands, as opposed to the three bands that held the barrel on the 1866. It was also equipped with a newly developed rear sight that allowed for elevation adjustment by means of a sliding bar with an aperture. Another issue was the weakness of the extractor mechanism. To resolve it, the reworked rifles were the first ones to use a new type of simplified cartridge extractor. These guns were named the Springfield Model 1868, and would reach an estimated total production of 52,000 rifles. Many of the remaining 1866 rifles would then be sold to France to be used in the Franco-Prussian War.
The 1868 would see just limited production before even more modifications were made. The Springfield Model 1870 would be given a shorter and stronger receiver, and would quickly replace the 1868. It would also receive a new caliber, the .45-70, which had been selected by a board of officers who had been convened to conduct trials at the Frankford Arsenal. The 1870 would be tested in the Terry Board Trials (headed by and named after Brigadier General Alfred H. Terry) against ninety-nine breech loading actions that included those being developed by Remington, Sharps, and Ward-Burton.
Through these trials, the Army intended to completely standardize their arsenal. By this time, they were years removed from the Civil War, but yet the troops were still using a mixed bag of weaponry. The government agreed that a simplified arsenal was needed, so to accommodate this standardization, Congress decided to appropriate a conditional $150,000 to the National Armory. The funds came with a stipulation that the board must first select a standardized breech-loading system and do so within the confines of the 1872 / 1873 fiscal year budget.
The board would test all of the rifles extensively and was starting to lean towards a magazine-fed Ward-Burton rifle. However, this rifle had issues with durability and safety, which needed to be addressed, and time was quickly running out on the board's decision. So rather than lose the funds and begin the process all over, Secretary of War William W. Belknap selected the reliable Allin system as the standardized breech-loading mechanism. Some historians speculate that the fact the Allin was a government employee, which may have limited his ultimate compensation, was a decisive factor. We could not prove or disprove this assumption.
Nevertheless, the .45-70 Springfield rifle became the first standard issue rifle of the U.S. Army and remained in service for decades. Even after the turn of the century and adoption of the U.S. Krag, the Springfield "trapdoor" remained a secondary service weapon.
Over the years the .45-70 Springfield would be improved upon in small increments. The stock would be strengthened by lengthening the comb and shortening its wrist. Tweaks to the receiver and breech block would help divert gases away from the shooter to prevent injury in the event of a case rupture.
Without a doubt the .45-70 Springfield became the best known of all of Erskine Allin's "Trapdoor" designs. It has received both praise and criticism, but regardless of one's opinion, there can be no denying its place in the history of our military.
In fact, it played a role in one of our nation's most famous conflicts. At the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876, it was the Springfield "Trapdoor" rifle that armed many of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer's men. Although, it ended in disaster for the Army, and some folks were quick to point a finger at the "Trapdoor" rifle, it was later determined that poor strategy and a wealth of misinformation were actually at fault for Custer's demise, and not a faulty rifle.
The battle did however provoke a further modification of the "Trapdoor" Springfield. When it was believed that better accuracy from their defensive post would have changed the course of the battle, a rear sight was developed that offered both windage and elevation adjustments. The Buffington rear sight would first appear on the Springfield Model 1884 "Trapdoor" rifle.
Today a single shot rifle wouldn't suit the needs for very many applications, never mind as an infantry weapon. However, for much of the nineteenth century and beyond, the deciding powers believed untrained troops would waste their costly ammunition if they were provided more firepower. Luckily the logical conclusion of better preparing troops for battle prevailed, and inventors since then have continued to astonish us with the extent of their imaginations. Although no matter what modern firearm inventors manage to achieve, there will always be a debt of gratitude due to men like Erskine Allin, whose determination and creativity helped advance the industry.
The Springfield "Trapdoor" rifles remain some of the most recognizable and collectible guns ever made. The simple fact that so many working samples still exist today proves that Allin didn't just solve the problem of finding a use for a million outdated muskets, he built an American treasure that exemplifies our resolve and ingenuity as a nation.

I got sick Monday a week ago. My symptoms are better but I am so tired and everuthing seems so hopeless! I am not this kind of person - I was wondering when I could realistically consider myself over the flu?
Have you been diagnosed with influenza?
fatigue for 2 - 3 weeks? oh no. That is worse than the actual flu symptoms to me!
I should have looked that up Izzie - I could have gone to webmd I suppose - brain is kaput. Thank you sweety.
No, Beth - the swab came back negative - though my son has the same symptoms and his swab came back positive...so I am pretty sure it was the flu - have no clue why it showed negative though. I had all of the typical flu symptoms. So I did not get the tamiflu - S came back positive and they are giving him Tamiflu. I hope it does cut the length of time in half for his sake!
If you've got a true influenza (which you well might, given that it's in the house), you can likely expect a month from start to feeling sorta decent IF IF IF you take it very easy. Difficult for a mother and wife and dog-carer to do. You're really going to have to try and get as much rest as you can up front so that there's a chance of a slightly quicker recovery. If anyone's napping, nap along with them.
Rest, rest, and more rest is the only cure, mis. Hard to do, I know. BUT -- don't even try to keep up with the day-to-day stuff.
Also, if you don't start seeing an improvement in a few days, go back to the dr (or go to a different one) and let him know that you're not getting any better. Even if all they give you is a sleep aid, then at least that's something that will allow you to begin to heal.
Sorry you're so sick, hun.
as jpb said : GET YOUR SLEEP !!!!
that might be difficult with a child and dog - but you'll still need it to recover .
if you can't get a solid 7 to 8 hours at night , at least try to get 2 to 3 "40 winks" in during the day in addition to your nightly rest .
what's this about going back to work tomorrow < stern look over glasses> ?
You're going to do WHAT?!?!?!
Ha! Seriously - I feel quite certain that tomorrow is going to be a really hard day. Let me just say that getting people to take your place keeping babies is amazingly hard. I cannot leave my poor work partner to 6 babies by herself. Two people and six babies is doable. I miss them too...I have been away a week and a half! I will take it easy while I am there though...I am bringing cardboard books and rubber blocks to sit and stack and read with my sweet babies. So it should be pretty easy I think...feeding them lunch is the hardest part of the day - they are SO messy - food is everywhere!
Thursday I will lay around all day - it will be my first day to be without a child in a while though...it will be nice to sleep at will!
Thanks Izzie, JPB, Beth, Hamburger and dj...I appreciate you! You help so much!
had temp on a off since friday,body feels sore now sneezing bad chest dripping nose,can't eat,oh and lm worn out but not sleeping well,l feel awful,how long is this hell going to go on for?
» How long does it take to get over the flu?
