Police say a former Sedalia resident has confessed to stealing thousands of dollars worth of Civil War items from the Pettis County Museum.
On March 24, The Pettis County Museum reported to Sedalia Police the theft of several Civil War artifacts.
According to a press release from the Sedalia Police Department, a museum employee began a computer search and located what was believed to be one of the stolen items on a Civil War collector's website, based out of Tennessee.
Police contacted the owner of the website, identified as Mr. Eledge, and he reportedly confirmed that he had purchased a cap and ball musket rifle from the suspect in June 2017.
The suspect, 38-year old Terry J. Cockrell, of Coffeyville, KS (formerly of Sedalia), had been a volunteer at the museum until fall 2017, when he moved away.
Eledge also stated he had purchased a Civil War sword, a surgical kit, and a brass barrel Blunderbuss from Cockrell. Eledge was able to provide police with documentation of the purchases. The report indicates that Cockrell was "deceitful" about how he obtained the items, when he sold them to Eledge.
Police later made contact with Cockrell, who reportedly confessed to stealing the items and selling them. A state charge of stealing has been submitted to the Pettis County Prosecutor's office.
The stolen items are valued at several thousands of dollars. Eledge is working with police to have the stolen returned to the museum. Sedalia Police say there is no information to indicate Eledge knew the items were stolen and he has also been a victim.

A day after three Quinnipiac women's lacrosse players were honored with end of the year conference awards, the No. 2 Bobcats began their title defense by taking on No. 3 Monmouth University at Sacred Heart in the Northeast Conference semifinals.
However, the championship dreams were ended after the first half for the Bobcats as Monmouth defeated them, 9-4.
No. 3 Monmouth will now face No. 4 Mount St. Mary's on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, in the NEC championship game.
This marks the first time since 2007 that Quinnipiac or Sacred Heart will not play for the conference tournament title. It will also be a rematch of that 2007 NEC championship when Monmouth beat Mount St. Mary's 9-8.
Monmouth's strategy was clear early on; keep possession as long as possible. They wanted to stay clear of the Bobcats dangerous offense that averaged 11.33 goals per game, which was second best in the conference.
They did just that, holding Quinnipiac to a season-low four goals on the afternoon.
The Bobcats had 15 turnovers on the day compared to 13 for Monmouth. Eleven of those turnovers came in the second half for Quinnipiac.
Quinnipiac (8-8, 7-3 NEC) went into halftime with a 6-4 deficit and couldn't get anything done in the second half as freshman goalie Katie Donohoe stopped all six shots on goal in the half. Donohoe finished the game with nine saves while Noelle Martello stopped seven-of-10 shots faced. Martello was subbed in for freshman Samantha Titls to begin the second half as Tilts allowed six goals while stopping three shots.
The Bobcats also struggled on the draw today, winning just six-of-13 face-offs. Quinnipiac's Devon Gibney came into the game second in the conference in draw controls per game and didn't win a single draw. This worked perfectly for the Hawks gameplan as Sam Lillo was able to win five draws for Monmouth and allow them to set up their offense throughout the game.
Senior Marissa Caroleo finished with two points in the game off of a goal and an assist. She finishes her Bobcat career as a two-time Northeast Conference Player of the Year award winner as well as the Northeast Conference Rookie of the Year award in 2008. She is second on the all-time points list at Quinnipiac with 174 points.


Home poker games are specifically not mentioned in the laws that were created to regulate home gambling. But in the past couple of years there has been a wide acceptance by society of poker as a game of skill (although it still has a long way to go). Therefore, it stands to reason that anyone caught organizing or playing in a home poker game will probably not be punished to the full extent of the law. Whenever you think of the law then you must think of the letter of the law but also the spirit of the law. Most home gambling laws were created for 2 reasons: to protect citizens from developing dangerous gambling habits as a results of easy access to gambling establishments and to keep citizens from profiting by running a gambling establishment. Home poker games, for the most part, are not guilty of either of these things. As long as they are unraked and low-stakes they are harmless.
It is legal to host a game at your house as long as you are not profiting from it.

…we don't talk about Book Club. Wrestling with the messy etiquette of reviews and self-promotion.
So much in a book takes place in the reader's mind. Images, impressions, scenes root and grow … or else they don't. After so much contact with the text, it behaves differently in the mind of the writers than to someone coming to the book for the first time. You have to wonder if anyone will be able to see in a book the things that you, as the writers, were trying to seed in it.
You also start to wonder if anyone's seen it at all. I've been told from multiple sources, and it seems logical: don't oversaturate your social media with self-promotion. So Bertie and I have held back from waving Albatross around like a flag. But within the past week, three separate friends have asked me these questions or some variant: You wrote a book? Is it out yet?
So seeing this review today, and the care and thought that went into the engagement with the text? It matters. Knowing that someone understood what we were trying to say? Well, apparently, I can't say thanks.
..and yet, here I am, suffused with gratitude.
It seems my writer's heart isn't very good at etiquette. Gratitude, though … I've got that down.
Though I risk making the host uncomfortable, I'll pay one specific compliment: This was collaborative work, but the book's "voice" felt assured and comfortable –like the music of an experienced band.
Thank you, sir! And please feel free to share your opinion on the e-bookstore of your choice.


its actually a pretty fun game but I feel it takes a lot of my computer's space..
So many dirty rooms, so many toilets uncleaned... and so many fun packages to give! Even made a video playing this game!
Made an account just to download the game and I still can't. How nice.
Its not like it'll hack my computer, right?!
It says I need another thing idk if its an app or..IDK but do I need to just to play this game?
Is he a terrorist or maid?? 😂😂 it was fun!

nW into p
Nanowatt into Poncelet
https://www.convert-measurement-units.com/convert+Nanowatt+to+Poncelet.php
How many Poncelet make 1 Nanowatt?
1 Nanowatt [nW] = 0.000 000 000 001 019 716 212 977 9 Poncelet [p] - Measurement calculator that can be used to convert Nanowatt to Poncelet, among others.
Convert Nanowatt to Poncelet (nW to p):
From the selection list, choose the unit that corresponds to the value you want to convert, in this case 'Nanowatt [nW]'.
Finally choose the unit you want the value to be converted to, in this case 'Poncelet [p]'.
With this calculator, it is possible to enter the value to be converted together with the original measurement unit; for example, '705 Nanowatt'. In so doing, either the full name of the unit or its abbreviation can be usedas an example, either 'Nanowatt' or 'nW'. Then, the calculator determines the category of the measurement unit of measure that is to be converted, in this case 'Power'. After that, it converts the entered value into all of the appropriate units known to it. In the resulting list, you will be sure also to find the conversion you originally sought. Alternatively, the value to be converted can be entered as follows: '18 nW to p' or '9 nW into p' or '75 Nanowatt -> Poncelet' or '25 nW = p' or '8 Nanowatt to p' or '51 nW to Poncelet' or '71 Nanowatt into Poncelet'. For this alternative, the calculator also figures out immediately into which unit the original value is specifically to be converted. Regardless which of these possibilities one uses, it saves one the cumbersome search for the appropriate listing in long selection lists with myriad categories and countless supported units. All of that is taken over for us by the calculator and it gets the job done in a fraction of a second.
Furthermore, the calculator makes it possible to use mathematical expressions. As a result, not only can numbers be reckoned with one another, such as, for example, '(18 * 77) nW'. But different units of measurement can also be coupled with one another directly in the conversion. That could, for example, look like this: '705 Nanowatt + 2115 Poncelet' or '14mm x 61cm x 40dm = ? cm^3'. The units of measure combined in this way naturally have to fit together and make sense in the combination in question.

H. A. L. FISHER.
In talent and character, he was extraordinary, combining in a singular degree the visionary qualities of the Indian life. Even in India, where saints are not uncommon, Gokhale's saintliness shone with a peculiar lustre, for not only was he utterly disinterested in his pursuits of patriot ends. carring nothing for wealth and station, but his rare spiritual intensity was united to a subtlety of mind, a quite grasp of detail, and a gift for action, qualities that are not usually associated with the devotional temperament of the East.
That he was a great orator, I can well believe, for his use of English was exact and brilliant and entirely free from the redundancy and magniloquence which is sometimes imputed to Indian eloquence. Thought his training was mathematical, he was well read in modern historical and political literature... Yet neither in learning, nor in the conduct of affairs had he any touch of pedantry.
In the general commerce of life there could be no more gracious or easy companion. But though he could adapt his conversation to circumstances and have a pretty gift of delicate humour, he always contrived to make you feel that he was living in an atmosphere of his own.
In politics he might be described as mid-Victorian radical, owing intellectual allegiance to J. S. Mill, but also largely influenced by Mazzini, whom he resembled in moral intensity and fervour. He made no secret of his ambitions for India. Believing in Parliamentary institutions, he desired to see India become a self- governing member of the British Empire after the model of Canada of Australia.
Critics have urged that he was vain of applause- an allegation brought against all orators; and he was also hypersensitive and of a combustible temper, these qualities which also belong to the soul of an orator, were never so developed as to make him intractable. His friends will long remember him with affectionate regret as one of the best and noblest of men, an honour to India in whose service he laboured and to Great Britain, from whose thinkers ans poets, he derived no small part of his inspiration.

"Can I get you a sandwich?" If the phone lines are jammed and you do have to speak to someone in person, "don't forget that ticket agents have been doing this all day, and many haven't had a break," says Snyder, who says that offering a sandwich or coffee can help differentiate you from other demanding customers.
"What about Rule 240?" No longer an actual rule, this term refers to the airlines' "contract of carriage." Terms vary among airlines, but "most major airlines have to take your ticket and endorse it toward the next available flight, even if it's a competitor's," says Peter Greenberg, author of Tough Times, Great Travel ($10, amazon.com). One caveat: You can't take advantage of this if you checked bags.
