Crayola Hits Home with Tadoodles Crayons for Toddlers!
The Crayola Beginnings Tadoodles Crayons are amazing for little toddlers who love to use their imaginations. Both of my sons enjoy these crayons a great deal. They are actually little plastic toys which encompass triangular crayons. This design makes it very easy for their little hands to hold. It is also less messy and makes clean up so much easier. Once the crayon is used (or eaten), you just twist the toy and the crayon pops right out. The refills are about $7 for a box at Walmart or Target. I'm sure you can even find good deals online as well. My sons are always breaking their crayons and throwing them in the garbage, telling me they are broken. With these, there is much less breakage and they actually don't even try to take the crayons out of the toys. In my opinion, it is a great investment if you are on a budget and don't want to be buying new crayons every time you go to the store! Crayola has an entire line of these Beginnings items now, but I am not familiar with them yet. I can only imagine if they are as innovative and helpful to the busy mother, then they are great investments as well.


Back in April, Facebook announced Audience Network, its new mobile ad network. Following a limited test phase, Facebook has revealed it's now officially opening for business around the globe.
The Audience Network is designed to help publishers and developers monetize their mobile apps by showing Facebook ads to their own users, essentially extending Facebook's targeting to third-party services.
Constituting three formats – banner, interstitial and native – the Audience Network should help companies deliver more relevant ads to their users.
Though it is technically open to all, you will still need to apply to access the Audience Network.


Carry on. Just experimenting with photo uploads on the new site format.....much improved.
It is quite simple. IF you are purchasing the firearm from a reputable FFL in the locale of your domicile AND you personally don't have any legal liabilities from owning such firearm, no problem. IF you source the firearm from a non-FFL then you are responsible for knowing all applicable the Federal BATFE laws as well as the State / Local ordinances that apply to firearm sales, the most restrictive of the collective laws controlling its ownership legality in your locale. All the laws are now readily available for review at the click of a mouse.
Hammer cocked and locked on insertion of the trigger group?
Maybe the detent / spring are just full of crud and they and the channel that retain them may just need a good cleaning to allow the detent to have free full travel to engage the handle. Collectively, all the parts involved are a few bucks total. IF one desires a different handle, buy the parts and swap them out and see what happens. Carry on.
My Plan A would be to gently open up / deepen the handle component and see if it helps. One can remove the bolt and insert the handle and observe exactly what the situation is. In my view the detent-handle engagement of the axle component of the handle is a non-load bearing surface that simply retains the pin in its lateral position thru the bolt; the actual axle of the handle bears all the load with retraction of the bolt, however its only with hand pulling rearward force, not a repetitive high speed violent impact on the axle part. So I don't think the surface hardening is particularly important at that engagement site. One only has to deepen one of the surfaces not both on the Carrier Comp; the G&G "spinner" however is a continuous circular detent. Due to part intolerances, the tip of the detent may not be engaging the handle recess correctly. Plan B addressing your correct observation about the limiting travel of the retaining pin, would be to fill in the handle recess with some JB weld, then incrementally enlarge the engagement until it felt like a solid fit.
And finally, you might take a small round needle file and deepen the notch where the detent engages it.
The 14" entry M4 has a smooth bore fixed Cylinder choke barrel.
Doesn't anyone pick up a cell phone and call a business anymore ? Seems as though a recording of "This number is out of service" would be a more immediate concern and unanswered / delayed email messages.
The "A" series of dating the Benelli's used 16 second letters in their codes, "B" series used 15 second letters in the codes, skipping some letters (highlighted) that have also been skipped to date in the "C" series of date coding. The "CS" would be a 2017 mfg. date code if the C series is going to follow the template of the B series coding.
From the back of my load-out room a very rare M4 All Tactical limited edition. ACOG 6x48, RMR for inside 50 meters and Barry Dueck Offset BUIS.
From the Benelli M1 Manual: Extensive testing in ballistics labs and repeated field-testing of our line produced weapons put at 180 kgm the lowest level of kinetic energy that must be generated by the cartridge 12 gauge and at 125 kgm for 20 gauge to fully cycle the action (the measurement was taken on a manometric barrel, according to at a velocity of V1 at 10 meter distance from the muzzle). Empirically, Benelli has determined the minimum threshold of kinetic energy required to cycle the bolt; the rest of the understanding is simple mathematics / physics. See thumbnail. KEMin = ½ m VMin2 KE=kinetic energy m=mass of gun V1 = Vmin = minimum cartridge power to cycle M1 action When the mass of the gun is increased = m2 ; V2 will be LESS than V1 Because V2 is less than V1, the minimum amount of kinetic energy to cycle the inertia bolt mechanism is not generated. The Benelli M1 20 gauge inertia bolt weighs 385 grams. Two 20 gauge cartridges weigh 65 grams Two shot magazine tube extension weighs 300 grams Total = 365 grams So, a 2 shot extension tube with cartridges is within 20 grams (2/3 of ounce) weight of the inertia bolt weight. The attached may assist in understanding how adding weight / mass to the inertia platform may interfere with reliable cycling operation. The 20 gauge M1 bolt weighs 385 grams; a 2 shot magazine tube extension weighs 300 grams Plus 65 grams for the 2 cartridges and you have 365 grams of extra weight; almost the weight of the bolt. Third parties cite Benelli sources as stating that ~ 500 grams of added weight (1.1 pounds) begins to reduce reliable function. A 12 gauge 2 shot extension and two 3" cartridges is just about 500 grams......again, just about the mass of the 12 gauge inertia bolt. So, the addition of the 2-shot extensions plus the cartridges do not exceed the bolt weight, but add a Picatinny rail and a light etc......therein the problems of operation may begin to be experienced.
I just checked. I bought the Geissele hammers for $50 in 2013.

When I was a toddler, my grandfather—an electrician for Lockheed—let me play with one of his most prized possessions: a TI-30 calculator. Not just "play", mind you, but go outside, dig in the dirt with it, and press as many buttons as possible while trying to make the calculator present interesting characters on its LED display. Yes, at the tender age of 3, I discovered what would later be known as circuit bending. Sadly, my grandfather passed not long after that day, but it turns out that electromancy is hereditary.
I was that kid—the one that took everything apart and attempted to either get it back into working order or (as was more often the case) to figure out what went wrong—much to my parents' chagrin. No household technology was safe from young Matthew brandishing a screwdriver. My folks were okay with it so long as I didn't interrupt Mom's soap operas, and besides, I was the only one in the house that knew how to program the VCR.
By middle school, I had begun dabbling with audio and video production thanks to a healthy obsession with the broadcasting industry (mostly brought on by the fact that we didn't have cable, so I poured myself into studying how to get better reception to watch Square One TV and Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? I was starting to produce my own radio shows, mixtapes, and video shorts—uploading them to the nascent World Wide Web when I could.
My high school didn't have an A/V club. There was this one kid who was appointed by the librarian to handle all the school's equipment and wouldn't let anyone else in the editing bay. In response, my friends and I formed our own independent production company. Every big project that came around—term papers, research projects, anything that required some sort of presentation—saw the bunch of us assemble like maladjusted teenage Avengers to write, direct, shoot, and edit a video presentation. Word got around, and soon our videos were passed around to other classes as "instructional aids". The school's million-dollar editing bay was surpassed by a bunch of punks with a couple of VCRs!
Since high school, I skipped around trying to find my place in an ever-changing world. Radio and TV, my high school sweethearts, were too formatted and homogenous—the heart and soul sucked out of them by a decade of corporate consolidation. I turned to my second love, aviation, and I trained as a helicopter pilot. My natural inclination toward systems gave me an edge—especially when learning radio navigation—but I never stopped building. I used my piloting skills to help NASA develop machine vision algorithms for unmanned spacecraft. I pressed for the University System of Georgia to adopt Free and Open Source Software as a cost-saving measure (a proposal that was ultimately doomed when federal grant monies were used to purchase iMacs and Windows 7 licenses for them). I designed and built specialized intrusion detection and surveillance equipment for law enforcement. Eventually, I circled back to video production—utilizing this new platform called "YouTube" and honing my skills by creating tutorial videos.
Today, I teach courses STEM in areas such as basic electronics and drone operation. I sit on the board for a hacker/maker convention in southern California. I work with a nonprofit that repurposes old computers for scientific research. I make videos about my different projects. And, on occasion, I find the time to surf.

Wayne, IL – June 27, 2015 – After coming to a mutual agreement, The Thatchers of Pony Lane Farm and The Jaynes of Our day Farm have decided to retire the little but mighty mare, Athena, from the show ring. After years of success in jumper rings around the world, they will give the mare a well-deserved retirement on Pony Lane Farm's, Riverton, Utah property where she will join other Pony Lane Champions and broodmares such as the jumper Carlotta and famous hunter, Francesa.
Showplace Productions hosted a retirement ceremony for the famous mare during the Spring Spectacular Horse Show at Lamplight Equestrian Center, where she was a hometown favorite. Earlier in the three-week series, Thatcher clinched the win in the $10,000 High Junior/Amateur Classic, adding yet another win to their long list of accomplishments and with the mighty mare topping off her career and exiting as the true winner she is.

Standing at only 15.1 hands, Athena has always stuck out among her competitors. She may appear small, but she has made her mark all over the world with Charlie Jayne and Kelsey Thatcher aboard. Her impeccable form over fences is hard to miss, as she is often seen jumping with her knees up to her nose. Kelsey laughed at the extreme difference in height between her and Charlie and how much it shows on Athena.
When asked about her favorite accomplishments with the mare, Thatcher reflects on the time she was the only clear round at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show in the Amateur Owner Jumpers back in 2013. Thatcher was named Show Jumping Hall of Fame Rider of the Month in October of 2013 and was Leading Amateur Owner Jumper Rider that same year at the Pennsylvania National.
"It was phenomenal. We were about eight seconds under the time allowed. It was just the cherry on top of a great weekend." Thatcher reflected.

Another one of her favorite accomplishments was when Athena won three of the five classes she was entered in at the 2014 Spring Spectacular Horse Show, including two Grand Prixs and the High AO classic. Also in 2014, the pair qualified for a night class at the Wellington Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida, one of Thatcher's firsts.
Not only was Thatcher successful with her in the past few years, Charlie Jayne had extraordinary success at major horse shows around the country and in the international ring with the amazing mare. Their impressive resume includes, Olympic contention in 2012, when Charlie was the reserve rider on the US. Team for the London Olympics, a second place finish in the Pfizer Million Dollar Prix in 2010, a second place finish in the CSIO 5* Dublin horse show in 2009, impressive finishes in Europe in 2011 including Rome and La Baule, and consistent ribbons in classes at Spruce Meadows, including a 1st place finish in the $31,000 Westjet Cup in 2011, and multiple wins at The Wellington Equestrian Festival throughout the years.
Not only is Athena an extraordinary competitor in the ring, she is an affectionate horse behind the scenes.
"She's always happy to see you. She's very personable. And very flexible," Thatcher joked. Pictured below is Athena bowing down in impressive form for a treat.
There is also no lack of personality from the outstanding mare. She has also been known to jump into the paddock from a standstill if she was not being let in fast enough. She shares her paddock with other horses whom she loves but when Alex Jayne brought a camel onto the property, she was not very pleased. She actually threw such a tantrum that the camel had to be returned.
A remarkable horse overall, Athena's retirement is well deserved. High hopes and expectations are being held for future offspring as well. When asked about plans for her breeding, Thatcher explained that nothing is set in stone but that they do have plans to breed her in the near future. So although it is time for her phenomenal career to end, her Olympic heart will live on in jumper rings around the world through her future heirs. Her athleticism and enthusiasm will surely be missed by her fans who will not be surprised when her youngsters get to the top of the leader board as well.
Thank you Kelsey Thatcher, Pony Lane Farm and Our Day Farm for sharing your special moment with her Chicago fans.

It would have been good if this was one of those starters where I could get a new question by using the refresh button.
Many of us found it too hard at the beginning but when we realised what we were doing, we managed to think of lots of answers.
Class 1B3 from Forrester High School Edinburgh were enjoying this very much. We found the answer and then we multiplied up and divided to get other results.
I agree, thank you, though ... it got them thinking!
A very good starter although once completed you should be able to refresh it.
Thanks for your comments. There is now a button below allowing you to generate a different recurring decimal. There is also a link to a self marking quiz related to this starter below. Did you know that a fraction in lowest terms with a prime denominator other than 2 or 5 always produces a repeating decimal?
My class found it hard to do but then we figured it out. The best one yet I think and the class loved it to :).
This starter has to be one of the best differentiated starters I have come across, my Foundation group enjoyed using the calculator to find the two whole numbers whilst my Higher group solved this without the calculator by using the method to convert recurring decimals to fractions.
This is very good. I would like more questions like this one because they are really mind boggling and it takes a lot of working out to find correct answers.
We also noticed that 52/22 = 2.363636.
This starter has scored a mean of 2.9 out of 5 based on 149 votes.
A spreadsheet could be used to quickly find a solution to this kind of problem.

This is part of a series from Ilene Dube of The Artful Blogger.
Vermont gets all the credit for pastoral scenery, but one of central New Jersey's best-kept secrets – and shhh, let's keep it secret – is its wealth of rural beauty. Along the Delaware Canal in Stockton, The Prallsville Mill, with its tall red grain elevator reflecting off the water, is a favorite subject for artists, who often surround it with a snowy ground or a moonlit sky.
The Princeton Artists Alliance has selected Prallsville Mill as the venue for its holiday show, a benefit for the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund.
No fewer than 16 artists are on exhibit here, and PAA founding member Charles McVicker will lead a gallery tour Saturday, Dec. 15, at 1 p.m. The College of New Jersey professor of art emeritus will share the floor with some of the other artists who will speak about their work.
Also a founder of the Garden State Watercolor Society, McVicker, 82, always longed to be part of a group like the Impressionists who gathered in Parisian cafes or the Abstract Expressionists who held forth at New York's Cedar Tavern – a scene depicted by sculptor Red Grooms, and in the collection of the Princeton University Art Museum.
Back in the 1980s, inspired by the great number of artists working in Princeton, McVicker recruited Margaret "Maggi" Johnson and Marie Sturken to help form the Princeton Artists Alliance. Soon Lucy McVickers, Charles' wife, became a member. Since its founding in 1989, the group continues to hold monthly meetings, pay dues, discuss member's work, and exhibit together.
"In the beginning, we found an empty store in Forrestal Village and covered the mirrors with Homasote to have an exhibit," says McVicker. "Then we got the idea to do themed shows and moved up to bigger and better galleries."
Princeton Artists Alliance has developed major exhibitions on Homer's The Odyssey, Marsh Meditations, the Pine Barrens, and Poetry, in such venues as the New Jersey State Museum, the Gallery at Bristol Myers-Squibb, The College of New Jersey, the Noyes Museum, and the Brodsky Center Gallery in New Brunswick. Some members have left, and some new members have joined.
"We try to keep it at 20," says McVicker, not to be elitist, he says, but because that just seems to be a healthy number for working together to hang shows, with members participating in the roles of treasure, membership and publicity. As the average member age is now 70, an effort is being made to recruit new younger members, such as Jennifer Cadoff.
A former journalist for Conde Nast Publications who has lived in Princeton for 20 years, Cadoff has always been enamored of PAA. "It's a wonderful organization with highly respected artists," she says. "I've followed their careers, seeing Maggi Johnson win awards, and meeting them at art openings. I thought I could learn a lot and continue to evolve as an artist if I were in the group."
Cadoff had attended McVickers' monthly critique group, held in his home, with anywhere from four to 10 artists. "Charles is the main critiquer – he has a fabulous eye and way of communicating – and we bring problem pieces to discuss," says Cadoff. Other artists contribute to the critique as well.
She had been working abstractly in indelible black marker on watercolor paper, making flower shapes on a background of circles, but couldn't get the composition she was satisfied with. "Charles said, 'you need a piece that's not attached.' I had connected the elements too closely to the background, and immediately realized his suggestion gave energy and balance to the piece."
With a concurrent exhibit at Princeton Brain and Spine Institute, Cadoff is working on simple abstract pieces comprised of parallel lines. "It began as a foray from inside of me. I asked, 'is it art?,' and Charles gave me the confidence to push myself and try new things. These pieces have taken off in my imagination, and even when I go to sleep I'm still seeing them. Now I'm sewing them into collages."
McVicker invited Cadoff to join PAA in October. She is delighted to be part of a diverse and accomplished group of artists, most especially for the way they talk about art. "It is so inspirational to hear every member say how their art grew richer from their interaction with the group."
Cadoff reflects back on a drawing she did of cows, "Just Hanging Out," donated to the Arts Council of Princeton's annual fundraising art Tombola several years ago and purchased by a member of PAA. Now Cadoff is "Just Hanging Out" with PAA.
Princeton Artists Alliance Holiday Show and Sale is at the Prallsville Mill, Route 29, Stockton, through Dec. 22. Gallery hours Wed.-Sun. 11-3 p.m. Gallery tour with Charles McVicker Sat., Dec. 15, 1 p.m.
The Artful Blogger is written by Ilene Dube and offers a look inside the art world of the greater Princeton area. Ilene Dube is an award-winning arts writer and editor, as well as an artist, curator and activist for the arts.

JIM MORRISON ORIGINAL HAND WRITTEN LYRICS LA WOMAN
The Doors, L.A. Woman ORIGINAL JIM MORRISON HAND WRITTEN LYRICS. A truly unique, once in a lifetime opportunity to own the original hand written lyrics for L.A. Woman. The original studio written lyrics by Jim Morrison. Previously on loan and displayed at the original Hard Rock Caf in New York. Comprising of one yellow sheet of lined A4 paper written by Jim Morrison in pen. Less than four months after this song was released in April of 1971, Jim Morrison had died. Handwritten lyrics from rocks golden age are incredibly rare and this is one of the best examples iin the world today. Accompanied by several important pieces of paperwork and letters of provenance. These lyrics were given on the day of the recording by Jim Morrison to the manager of The Byrds and Blue Cheer, Russ Estees. Included with the lyrics is a copy of a letter from Russ Estees detailing this event on his Crystal Sky Productions letter headed paper and dated 5/93. Russ Estees at the time was working for Screen Gems and also managed The Byrds (the US band) and Blue Cheer. These original handwritten lyrics to The Doors L.A.Woman do not contain the words "Mr Mojo Risin" because this sheet was the very first incarnation of the track in the studio from December 1970. In the beginning, that part of the song had not even been devised. It was only in 1971 when John Densmore later got the band to slow the track down in the middle eight and they needed a chant or hook to link it up. It was only at this point when Jim came up with the anagram of his name to use across the track. One other important variation of these lyrics has appeared in The Doors scrapbook. Those lyrics were actually requested specifically by Danny Sugarman from Jim, after the recording of L.A. Woman. Those hand written Jim Morrison manuscripts were originally sold to two Los Angeles dealers by Danny Sugarman. It is well known those lyrics were all written after the actual recordings of the songs unlike the single sheet that is on offer here, written during the first 1970 studio recording . "L.A. Woman" is a landmark song by The Doors and title track to their 1971 album. An original yellow sheet of lined A4 paper bearing lyrics handwritten by Jim Morrison, legendary singer of 1960s rock band The Doors. Jim Morrison's lyrics are written in blue pen, with Biro doodles to the left hand side. To the top of the A4 sheet the singer has written "J.M./Doors - L.A. Woman" and autographed the sheet to the top right corner next to the song title. Without question one of the single most important set of lyrics ever made available on the open market for the ultimate rock n roll collection. The authenticity of this fascinating piece of music history is verified by its undeniable provenance, having also been formally exhibited in the famous Hard Rock Cafe, New York. The lyrics are accompanied by a copy of the letter from the original owner Russ Estees, a letter from the Hard Rock Caf, NY returning the lyrics after their loan. There are two further independent letters of authentication including full forensic analysis of the letter. The whole collection is also accompanied by full rareandsigned certification valuing this package at 500,000 in May 2019.
Price: 450000.00 GBP

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully; and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem, and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?" Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom… it died.
So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The good qualities planted in us at birth grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.
We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.
Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.
This is one of the characteristics of love… to look at a person, know their true faults and accept that person into your life… all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul.
Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.

Pakpattan incident: Inquiry vindicates IGP, vilifies DPO for imagined offences
ISLAMABAD: An inquiry into alleged manhandling of Khawar Farid Maneka appears to be a bid to save the skin of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab Syed Kaleem Imam and to scapegoat the Pakpattan DPO Rizwan Umar Gondal for, what turns out to be, the imagined offences.
Khawar Farid Maneka is the ex-husband of First Lady Bushra Maneka.
Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, who is at the center of this controversy for pressuring Mr. Gondal into submission has not been made part of the inquiry, raising questions about the professional integrity of Kaleem Imam who had ordered probe into the matter but tailored its ToRs in a manner that all the big fish go scot-free.
As for Khawar Maneka's alleged misbehavior with the police, the inquiry has left this matter inconclusive, noting it needed further probe. However, it suggests action [against him] in case he is found guilty.
The charges against Mr. Gondal are imagined at best and expectations from him in the event of such crisis are as much idealistic.
He must have taken action, the inquiry committee rules, after the first incident occurred on August 5, no matter the complainant didn't file complain despite Gondal's urging him.
As the former DPO has mentioned in his statement that no official authority (RPO or IGP) ever directed him to go to the dera of Khawar Maneka, "it is perplexing to see why he encouraged this impression," reads the inquiry report
Surprisingly, at no point has it been reported in the media that DPO Gondal alleged his police bosses for issuing any such direction. Instead, he named Ahsan Jamil Gujjar for forcing him to patch it up with Maneka by visiting him at the dera. Before that, he mentioned having received calls from an ISI Colonel Tariq asking him for the same.
Kaleem Imam confirmed before the Supreme Court that Tariq was ISI Commander Faisalabad area.
The only police official Gondal named was one of his course-mates currently studying abroad who approached him for the purpose. This is all what he reported before the Supreme Court of Pakistan late Friday. The names for the interlocutors he named for the first time before the SC bench. While the inquiry committee didn't approach the above accused to determine the veracity of charges, it has blamed Mr. Gondal for "he encouraged this impression" that as if he was directed in this regard by his police bosses.
Likewise, the inquiry committee has accused Mr. Gondal of not conducting probe into the incident that occurred on August 5 when the police had stopped Maneka's burqa-clad daughter and son for identity as they walked barefoot to Pakpattan for attendance at Baba Farid shrine.
This charge has been levelled despite admitting the fact that Mr. Gondal had asked Maneka to visit the DPO office for lodging a complaint in writing and that his grievances, if any, will be addressed. Also, this admission is part of inquiry report that Maneka agreed but said his son, who was intercepted, would come. Similarly, neither side has disputed that Maneka's son didn't go for reporting the complaint.
Nevertheless, the inquiry officers thought the probe into August 5 incident should have been conducted.
"If an inquiry had been ordered after the incident of August 5, 2018, the matter must have unraveled before the District Police Officer and he could have taken action if anybody was found at fault. Accordingly, departmental reprimand is warranted against him."
Incidentally, the same line was echoed by Ahsan Jamil Gujjar during his tough talk with Mr. Gondal when the latter was summoned at the CM House on August 25, as he said why no action was taken against the policemen concerned. To this, Mr. Gondal replied that no complaint was lodged.
In Pakistan, nobody is stranger to a common complain that the police tend to hesitate registering FIR, let alone taking action.
In cases, the complainants look for a reference to ensure the registration is done. However, in the matter under question, the police high-ups expected of Mr. Gondal to hold an inquiry without any complaint only because there was a family involved which had links at the PM House.
That Gondal didn't inform IGP Kaleem Imam about August 5 incident when he discussed details with him after the incident occurred between night of August 23 and 24 is yet another charge.
This is yet another flimsy accuse apparently fabricated to support an earlier statement of the IGP wherein he accused MR. Gondal of "misrepresentation of the actual problem".
One wonders what change would have occurred had August 5 incident been reported especially when the complainant party was not ready to register a complaint.
As for Maneka's behavior towards the police, the inquiry report said the police officials who had stopped him in second incident demanding search of the vehicle, alleged Maneka for hurling abuses and threats.
Also, they alleged having received threatening calls from a number.
The inquiry committee identified the caller as Maneka's servant after going through his call detail record.
Again, Mr. Gondal has been found at fault, as the inquiry officer expected from him a legal action against Maneka. It merits mention that MR. Gondal was summoned the next day at the CM House and made OSD a day after leaving no time to take action.
The inquiry officer himself didn't bother to suggest the same and instead made any action conditional with further inquiry.
"In this incident, if Mr. Khawar did abuse the police officials or threatened on phone afterwards, and the DPO had also come to know about it, a legal action was warranted. No such step was taken. However, this point remained inconclusive and is a point of further inquiry. If this point is proven beyond reasonable doubt at any later stage, criminal action should be initiated against Mr. Khawar Maneka in such eventuality."

Power Source: The Stars of Paula Brown
by Columnist · August 26, 2016
The Paula Brown School of Performing Arts blazes a trail for local youth to pursue life and the arts with excellence.
By Adoria Doucette
Washington has produced many cultural icons, like Duke Ellington and Marvin Gaye. Power Source is proud to showcase Paula Brown a powerhouse in the global artistic community. Ms. Brown has excelled at the highest echelon of dance, film, television and international music.
As a young lady in the District, Brown excelled as a graduate of the iconic Jones Haywood School of Dance in Northwest, founded in 1941 by Doris Jones and Claire Haywood to expose African Americans in the nation's capital to the intricacies of classical dance. Brown matriculated through the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and was awarded a full scholarship to the world famous Alvin Ailey School of Dance, and went on to be a full time member of the Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble. This foundation was the beginning of a storied career in dance, film and television. On Broadway Ms. Brown was a performer in numerous successful productions including "The Wiz" and "West Side Story." In Hollywood she was a regular member of Debbie Allen's production of "Fame." Brown also worked with Eddie Murphy, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and other leading industry titans from Oprah to Martha Stewart, bringing her impeccable pedigree to productions including choreography and directing. Ms. Brown then conquered the international music scene as lead singer of Snap, topping the charts throughout Europe.
Beyond her own success and accomplishments, Ms. Brown's most important legacy is that of the founding of The Paula Brown Performing Arts Center, which for the past four years has been instilling local youth with the character and discipline of personal excellence while exposing them to the world of dance. Building on the legacy she benefited from at The Jones Haywood and Duke Ellington School's, Ms. Brown has created a mecca for young people with interest in dance and the arts to learn from the very best.
Since 2012 from its studios in Temple Hills, Md. The Paula Brown Performing Arts Center has worked tirelessly in succeeding at creating intellectually and physically graceful young members of society ages 3-20, placing an emphasis on life skills of cultural awareness and self poise along with introducing participants to classical ballet, acting, piano singing, and several specific disciplines of dance such as tap, African and Pointe. Alumni of the center have gone on to The Kirove Ballet Academy, The American Dance Theater, Dance Theater of Harlem and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. The center offers year round classes and intensive camps across all artistic disciplines, culminating in performances where students showcase their hard work. The most recent performance was a modern rendition of the classic West Side Story, performed by the "Broadway Baby Boomers" aged 4-14.
Power Source commends a long time friend for her contribution to local culture through the founding and meticulous management of The Paula Brown Performing Arts Center. The DMV region is lucky to have this homegrown star committing her talents to ensuring local youth have access to world class artistic exposure.
Power Source is an insider's view of power networks and activities that contribute to the continued dominance of our nation's ideals, institutions and individuals. Ms. Doucette has privately orchestrated projects for the world's most influential individuals, celebrated personalities, and corporations. Based in Washington D.C., Ms. Doucette is a proud native of New Orleans, Louisiana. She can be reached at: adoria@thepowersourcedc.com

One woman is taking a stand against a new business coming into Cottage Grove.

COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. - Wolfclan Armory is a martial arts supply store in Creswell that sells knives, survival tools, and everything in between. They're moving to a location in Cottage Grove, because they said it will give them more opportunities to keep growing, but that move has been met with resistance.
One woman has made her complaints known, standing outside of the new location on Main Street in Cottage Grove. Venice Mason alleges that the owners of the business are racists and neo-Nazis, and she doesn't want their business coming to town. She's stood outside holding a sign that reads, "No Hate on Main."
Wolfclan Armory's Facebook page
"We have to have a bottom line and a moral compass when it comes to known divisive, hate-based places," Mason said, "this will be a hub for hate. We don't want it here. I don't want it here. And I hope that my community continues to support me in not wanting it here either."
One issue Mason said she has with the store is its name, Wolfclan, and its flag.
"I deeply believe that the use of the clan name and the use of wolf, in this case, is not appropriate," she said. "This is nothing but racist ideology."
However, the store owners said the name is in honor of their son, Elias, who committed suicide nearly 18 years ago. Jeanette Laskey, Elias' mother and one of the owners, said everyone used to call him "Lone Wolf" when he was growing up, and that's where they got the name for the store.
"This lady seems to think that we've infringed on her rights to be the Wolfclan, or the lone wolf, or something," Laskey said. "My son was a lone wolf...that's why we're the Wolfclan."
Mason also claimed that the family has a racist and divisive past. Laskey said this is true of one of her seven sons.
Jacob Laskey was arrested in 2002 for throwing swastika-etched bricks through the Temple Beth Israel synagogue in Eugene. He spent 11 years in prison. He was recently arrested again for allegedly stabbing a 41-year-old man in Creswell. Laskey said her son is no longer affiliated with the white supremacist movement.
Laskey said this has been a very unwelcome greeting, and it's been hard to see this kind of display right outside her store.
"They say we're neo-Nazis, and we're not. Never have been, never will be," Laskey said. "It seems like our son can't live down his past, even though he's tried to."
Mason admitted to being a bit aggressive with her reaction to this store, and she has been witnessed raising her voice at the owners. She said she feels Cottage Grove is an important and accepting place, and she doesn't want to see it tainted.
"These are convicted hate criminals, these are known racists, and this will serve as a hub for an ideology that I don't feel belongs here," Mason said.

The first row crop tractor manufactured by IH was given the name Farmall. Development began around the start of the 1920s, and the new tractor design was introduced in prototype form in 1923. As IH management was concerned that the new 'tricycle' type design might turn off customers, the Farmall was initially released only in Texas, in order to minimize potential embarrassment if the design proved to be unsuccessful. However, the new tractor sold well, and by 1926, IH was ready for large-scale production at its new Farmall Works plant in Rock Island, Illinois.
In 1932 IH introduced an updated Farmall with a more powerful engine, which received the designation F-20. The F-20 replaced the original Farmall, which became known by the retronym Regular (after the introduction of the F-20). IH also added other new tractors to the brand, which became known as the F-series. These included the F-30 (1931), the F-12 (1932), and the F-14 (1938). All Farmall tractors were painted battleship gray until the mid-1930s, when a decision was made to change to a new color, 'Farmall Red'.
The F-series tractors lasted until 1938. In 1939, the famous Letter series of Farmall tractors was introduced (A, B, BN, C, H, M, and MD). IH commissioned industrial designer Raymond Loewy to give the new Farmall general-purpose tractors a sleek new streamlined look. Designed for small-to-medium size American farms, IH's new machines offered a wider variety of capabilities, engines, and equipment options. The smallest of the line, the 'A', utilized the company's Culti-Vision offset engine/front end design, along with a wide front wheel track and dropped axles. On the larger models, the 'tricyle' type, narrow-spaced front wheel design was retained, as it provided quick steering and a considerable improvement in maneuverability over competing tractors such as the Ford 9N.
From prior experience, IH took care to produce a model for almost every farm and every need. The Farmall A, B, and BN offered compact size, operator visibility, and maneuverability; the C and M series provided extra plowing capability and power, while the mid-sized Model H proved most popular with customers. The 'MD' Farmall offered a diesel engine. Sales took off, and letter-series production did not end until 1954. Overall, the Farmall 'letter' series, built of the heaviest-duty materials available, became not only a defining product line in IH history, but an iconic symbol of the prototypical American small-farm tractor. Many machines (especially the two largest models, the H and M) are still in operation on farms today.
In 1947, the smallest tractor in the Farmall line was introduced, the Cub. With a 60 cu. in. four-cylinder engine and a 69-inch wheelbase, the Cub was aimed at small farms such as truck farms, horse farms, and other small acreages that had previously continued to rely on horse-drawn equipment. But the Cub also sold to owners of larger farms who required a second tractor. Production of the Cub commenced at the newly-acquired Farmall Works-Louisville plant (formerly the wartime Curtiss-Wright Aircraft factory in Louisville, Kentucky) which was expanded, remodeled and reequipped. Selling for $545.00 in 1947, the Cub proved extremely popular, and the original design continued in production without significant alteration for many years.
The Letter series tractors were updated to the Super series in 1952 (with the exception of the A, which became a "Super" in 1947, and the B and BN, which were determined to be redundant, and discontinued in 1948). Though the Super series received improvements, these tractors largely followed the design of their predecessors, and like them, were built to last.
In 1955, the numbered or so-called Hundred series tractors appeared. The Hundred series models used numbers instead of letters to identify the model. The new models were given slightly different looks and a few new features, but were still essentially the famed Letter series tractors. The Farmall Cub continued unchanged, but in 1955 a new 'low-boy' version was added, featuring a shortened 62.5-inch wheelbase and a frame eight inches lower than the regular Cub tractor, which improved the machine's center of gravity. 1956 saw the introduction of the IH Model 350, which offered engines using a variety of commonly available fuels: gasoline, diesel, or LP-gas. The diesel engine version had a direct-start feature, and could be started and run using only diesel fuel.In 1957, IH again gave the tractor lineup an overhaul. Although the basic design was still not changed to any significant degree, new white paint was added to the front grille and sides, new engines were introduced, and new number designations were added. Although the new tractors did improve sales, IH's innate conservatism and reluctance to update their tractor line in response to changing times was becoming apparent.
At the Hinsdale, Illinois Testing Farm in July 1958, IH entertained over 12,000 dealers from over 25 countries. IH showed off their new 60 series of tractors: including the first of their kind, large six-cylinder 460 and 560 models. But the excitement caused by the new introduction was short-lived. In June of that year, IH recalled the 460, 560, and 660 tractors after reports of mechanical breakdown in the field. IH, who wanted to be the first big-power tractor manufacturer, had inexplicably failed to substantially enlarge and re-engineer critical drive components on the new six-cylinder tractors. The tractors' final drives, which were essentially made up of unaltered model "M" components, failed rapidly under the stress of the more powerful 60 series tractor engines. IH's competitors took advantage of the recall, and IH lost customers in the ensuing months.
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, IH would introduce new tractors and new methods of marketing, but conservative management, an unwieldy corporate organization, and a policy of in-house promotions tended to stifle new ideas and technical innovation at the company.As tractor production was a mainstay of the company, IH realized they would have to modernize and re-engineer their tractor line, lowering costs where possible in order to remain competitive. The massive boilerplate frame and iron housings of the old IH tractors were slowly phased out for lighter, less-expensive components. The streamlined exterior of the earlier tractors was replaced by straighter, more angular lines, updating the look and requiring less-complicated equipment to manufacture. The new machines also became vastly more complex, though easier to operate. Bowing to inevitable sales pressure and bitter price competition from other manufacturers, IH tractors, while still well-made, could no longer be relied upon to last indefinitely.
The International 656 Row-Crop tractor was a bit of an anomaly until International dropped the Farmall brand, in that it combined some of the customary features of a Farmall (such as an adjustable wheel width) with a utility tractor.
By 1973, IH had officially dropped the 'Farmall' name from its new tractor models. The announcement ended an era that began with the first Farmall Regular back in 1924. However, the Farmall nameplate continued to appear on new 1974 and 1975 tractors until the factories exhausted their inventory of obsolescent name badges.
On February 1, 1974, at 9:00 A.M., the 5,000,000th IH tractor came off the assembly line at the Farmall Works plant in Rock Island, Illinois. IH was the first tractor manufacturer to accomplish this.
4 plow and up: 460, 560, 656, 666, 70 Hydro, 706, 756, 766, 786, 806, 826, 856, 966, 1026, 1066, 100 Hydro, 1206, 1256, 1456, 1466, 1468, 1566, 1568.
1. Plow ratings are general plowing abilities dependent upon soil conditions.
2. Depending on the plow width used, a three-plow tractor could handle a four- or five-bottom plow.
3. Engine size was sometimes upgradeable. For example, in the 1950s and 60s it was very popular to upgrade the Super M-TA and 400 model 264 cid engine to 281 cid. An economical cylinder sleeve and piston change was all that was needed. This brought the power level up to that of the 450 model.
There were also some Farmall models unique to the European market: DF-25 (comparable to the H), DGD4 (comparable to the Super H), BMD (British MD) and B-450 (British 450). These models all utilized direct-start diesel engines.
The Farmall Cub, A, B, 100, 130, and 140 models had the seat offset from the engine, allowing the operator to look directly at the ground under the tractor. This feature was called Culti-Vision because it was created to give the operator an excellent view of the cultivator teeth as they cultivated the vegetable row. (Cultivating in this context refers to breaking up the soil next to the vegetable row, which kills weeds by uprooting them and/or burying their leaves).
The Farmall A and B used a sliding-gear 4-speed transmission, while the larger, more powerful Farmall M was fitted with a 5-speed transmission. The extra gears of the Farmall tractors helped maximize the engine's power band, giving a sales advantage over the competition.
IH Farmall Red became the standard Farmall tractor color after 1936, and was used through the 1970s. The only factory color variations known are Highway Yellow (generally used for municipalities), Demonstrator White, used for dealer demo models during the 1950s, and Demonstrator Gold - actually a red-and-gold color scheme used only during the International Demonstrator program in 1970. While Farmalls in other shades are known to exist, these were most likely owner-painted, or else painted by the IH dealer at owner request.
The first Farmall tractor with an optional diesel engine was the Model MD. Like many agriculture equipment diesel engines of the time, it was not a direct-start diesel; the operator started the tractor on gasoline, then manually switched to diesel fuel after warming up the combustion chamber. The Super MD, 400, and 450 diesels used the same engine design as the MD, but with larger displacement (more cubic inches). The next Farmall tractor to offer diesel power was the Model 350, which appeared in 1956 and came with a variety of engine fuel options: gas, diesel, and LP gas. The 350's optional direct-start diesel engine was built by Continental Motors, and was IH's first diesel model that could be started and operated using only diesel fuel (no gasoline). IH subsequently developed their own line of new direct-start diesel engines for the 460 and 560 tractors.
The Torque Amplifier (TA), first introduced on the Super M in 1954, was an extra low-range gear ratio (comparable to the two-speed rear drive on a commercial truck) that allowed for a quick downshift without using the clutch to gain torque at the drive wheels. The TA model was then called Super M-TA. The TA became an option on the model 300 and larger tractors after 1955.
The Fast Hitch was IH's answer to the three-point hitch developed years earlier by Harry Ferguson, and featured on Ford-Ferguson tractors.The Fast Hitch was first offered as an option on the Super C. Fast Hitch was then an option on the 100, 200, 300, and 400 and some later models. However, even the Fast Hitch had three incompatible variants (100—single prong, 200—two small prongs, 300/400—two large prongs). IH discontinued the Fast Hitch in the 1960s after the three-point hitch was standardized and adopted by all manufacturers. There are kits available from a variety of sources that will either convert a Fast Hitch to a three-point, or add a three-point hitch to tractors that originally only had a fixed drawbar.
International Harvester was one of the earliest manufacturers to provide a stepless transmission in a row crop tractor. Introduced first as an option on 656 and 544 tractors, the hydrostatic transmission would become a defining feature of the 70 Hydro and 100 Hydro models.
From 1924 until 1963, Farmalls were the largest selling row crop tractors.
The Farmall H, produced from 1939 to 1952, became the second top selling individual tractor model of all time in North America with over 390,000 sold. Only the Ford 8n (due to its exclusive Ferguson Three Point Hitch system) was a better seller.
The Farmall Cub (later re-named International Cub) remained in production the longest (from 1947 until 1979) with minor updates in engineering & design.
Culti-Vision proved to be IH's longest-lived engineering feature, staying in production from 1939 - 1979.
A few clever mechanics have created 'homebrew' IH models, the so-called Super H-TA (Super H with Torque Amplifier), Super HD (Super H Diesel), and F-16 tractors. However, IH itself never manufactured such models.
The Farmall Works plant in Rock Island, Illinois first opened in 1926. The last IH tractor, a Model 5488, was built there on May 14, 1985. International's Agriculture Equipment Division was sold to Tenneco the prior year, in 1984.
Case IH has revived the Farmall brand on some of their latest tractors.
The Hydro 1066 had less drawbar power than the gear-drive 1066, leading to the creation of the Hydro 100.


Have you ever felt like even though you know God is blessing the thing you've been working on, be it a dream, a company or a ministry, that no matter how much you've prayed and felt like your breakthrough was just around the corner.....At that very time everything started to go wrong?
Your car breaks down and the shop says it's going to be $800 to fix, registration and inspection are both due at the same time and the car your friend let you borrow breaks down as well?!
Ever felt like God was hearing your prayers but for some reason not answering?
I believe that if you are a Kingdom Builder, you have experienced this.
This is the storm before the breakthrough.
Moses dealt with mass chaos and heartbreak before his breakthrough came and Israel finally made it to the Promised Land. King David was bullied and picked on before he slew Goliath with a slingshot and earned the title Giant Killer and King. And even Jesus went to His knees in prayer and told His Father that He didn't want to go through with it, but He did it anyway, and once it was finished, He cleansed anyone who would believe on Him of their sins and became savior to a broken world.
So push on soldier!! Never Stop and NEVER QUIT.

For most, "eating disorders," conjure up an image of a young and slender hand clenching her Diet Coke. Slimmed by years of extreme dieting or consumed with cyclic bouts of binging and purging, she is the result of the insecurity, low self-esteem and lack of control we associate with being an adolescent. But new research shows that an increasing number of sufferers of eating disorders are aged in their 30s, 40s and 50s – women struggling with the emotional aftershock of changing bodies and altered lifestyles.
In her latest book, Midlife Eating Disorders, US psychiatrist Cynthia Bulik, has thrown down the proverbial gauntlet, imploring us to stop thinking of eating disorders as a high-school illness.
For many women, midlife can mean an unenviable cocktail of emotional upheaval. From the nerve-wracking task of raising teens to the pressure to compete with a slew of young upstarts in the workplace, women may endure shifts in their emotional and personal landscapes leaving them with lowered feelings of self-worth and hopelessness.
According to Bulik, divorce, infidelity, and an empty nest are just some of life's twists and turns leading some to the refrigerator door.
It's a familiar story for psychologist, Annabelle Ryburn of Eating Disorders Victoria.
But it's not all tears and adultery. Professor Susan Paxton of La Trobe University says the combination of our increasing waist band with our social fixation on youth and thinness comes into play, too.
"One factor appears to be the increasing size of the Australian population but no commensurate change in the size of the body image ideal… more people are using more extreme (and typically counter-productive) ways of trying to combat this pressure," said Professor Paxton.
But while we may think of eating disorders as a pathological drive for thinness, for people in midlife, the most common eating disorder is binge eating (BED).
Only officially added to the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (currently used to diagnose eating disorders in Australia) in 2012, BED now accounts for the majority of cases of eating disorders amongst Australian men and women.
For Ryburn, the reported increase in diagnoses of midlife eating disorders may correlate to an increased awareness in both GPs and sufferers around the symptoms characterising BED.
Additionally, says Paxton, more knowledge about eating disorders in general is likely to result in an increase in diagnosable symptoms.
Paxton's research found women who were able to accept their bodies as they aged were less likely to link self-worth with their appearance. These women were more likely to focus on "self-care," such as making time to go for a jog or catch-up with friends.
Such findings have been helpful for Paxton and her colleagues, whose group intervention for women suffering from midlife eating disorders was met with considerable success.
Using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to address the risk factors of eating disorders in midlife, a group of 61 women were shown how to value their internal self-worth as opposed to focusing on their physical traits. The therapy saw women become more content with their own body image partnered with significant drops in the rates of disordered eating.
The first problem to overcome says Paxton, is that women over 35 often have hectic schedules creating less time for nutritious habits or relaxation. The result is a higher number on the scale and less time to put in place lifestyle measures aimed towards maintaining a healthy weight.
For clinical psychologist Lissa Johnson of Sydney, it seems that many women with BED will start a binge in the hope of experiencing some of the positive feelings they feel are lacking from their lives.
It seems likely that women who base their self-worth on their successes at work, at home, and within their relationships are less likely to be at risk of resorting to dangerous dieting or overeating.
Therapy, says Johnson, thus needs to be tailored towards treating the causes, rather than the symptoms, of the eating disorder.
The good news for women who may be suffering is that Paxton's work demonstrates those already at risk can learn to renavigate their thinking. While biology will eventually take its toll, it is important for all women to remember that we are more than just the sum of our physical parts.

Punjab Govt has issued a public notice to the effect making it compulsory to upload the data of invoices to be issued on the official website of the Department even in case of intra state transactions(i.e transactions within the state) in the prescribed format, where the amount of bill is in excess of Rs 200000 except in case of Iron and Steel, Cotton bales and yarn, Edible oils, Timber, Marble, Tiles of all kinds, in which case the amount is in excess of Rs 20000.
Uptill now it is only interstate transactions the data of which is required to be uploaded but now it has also been extended to some intrastate transactions as well. This in my view will be an undue harrasment to the small dealers since the small dealers may not be computer literate or having sufficient computer equipments to oblige with the instructions given in the public notice. Although this move has been made by the govt to plug in the loophole for evasion of tax but its my personal view that instead of it the maintenence of stock register may be made compulsory in an alternative to this measure.However the said notice states that this will be mandatory w.e.f 01-06-2011.
ATTN:- TAXABLE PERSONS,ADVOCATES,CHARTED ACCOUNTANTS, COST ACCOUTANTS.
At present, the information regarding goods being brought into and moving out of the state of Punjab (Inter-state transactions) is furnished at the Information Collection Centers (I.C.Cs)/ Check Posts by the dealers and consumers. Now, this process of collection of information from dealers will be extended to intra-state transactions also (within Punjab) i.e. goods moving from one part of the State to other part. Hence, all the dealers making intra-state transactions shall compulsorily upload the information about the goods on the department's website i.e. www.pextax.com before leaving the vehicle from the premises of a dealer. It shall be in the form of a self-declaration format/Performa; which shall be prescribed shortly by the department.
6) Tiles of all kinds.
The compulsory declaration for the above-mentioned six commodities will be applicable for the transactions whose value is in excess of Rs. 20,000/- for one single bill.
All persons making such transactions shall necessarily upload the required information in the Performa prescribed by the department. This will be mandatory w.e.f. 1.6.2011. The details regarding forms, methodology and other related information will be placed on department's website: www.pextax.com.
Hence, all the dealers are requested to make necessary arrangements for uploading the forms i.e. required computer with internet connection and a printer along with the technical manpower. Similarly, all the concerned dealers, for whom it relates, are advised to take username/password from the concerned district AETC.
For any query or details, pl. contact, 98729-10007, 98729-10044.
Apart from the newspaper clipping making it optional there seems to be no official announcement as yet.
