Britain goes to poll in historic election
The exit poll has the Tories on track to win 368 seats, giving them a clear majority in the House of Commons as Mr Johnson attempts to ram his Brexit agenda through.
Johnson, who has said the result is on a "knife edge", was the first party leader to vote in person, arriving at a central London polling station with his Jack Russell dog, Dilyn.
With a surge in registration of younger voters, tactical voting, split party loyalties over Brexit and considerable uncertainty over the potential turnout, the result is really anyone's guess.
Britons braved winter storms and howling winds as they lined up to cast ballots in what Johnson and Corbyn have both called the most important vote in a generation.
Up for grabs are all 650 seats in the British parliament, which has been deadlocked since the 2016 referendum on European Union membership that saw a narrow majority vote to leave. That effort got a boost when the Brexit Party led by Nigel Farage decided at the last minute not to contest 317 Conservative-held seats to avoid splitting the pro-Brexit vote.
According to YouGov, Johnson had been slated to win a majority of 28 seats.
Boris Johnson's Conservative Party is forecast to win the United Kingdom election with an outright majority, according to a BBC/ITV/Sky exit poll released after the close of voting.
A victory for Labour would make Corbyn the party's first prime minister since Gordon Brown in 2010 - and at 70, the oldest first-time premier since Viscount Palmerston in 1855.
Police, who were seen on local TV firing tear gas and using batons, eventually suppressed the rampage . According to Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari, 40 lawyers have since been arrested by the police.
"I am devastated, I don't know how you could have any other reaction other than being utterly heartbroken", Labour's Jess Phillips said.
Johnson is now free to lead his country swiftly out of the vast trading bloc but faces the daunting task of negotiating trade deals around the world, not least with the European Union itself, and of keeping a divided kingdom in one piece.
The exit poll showed voters had gone with Johnson's "Get Brexit Done" promise and pro-market philosophy and rejected left-wing veteran Corbyn, who had promised a second Brexit referendum and a radical expansion of the state.
Huge lines were reported across the country in the election that pits current prime minister and Tory leader Boris Johnson against the leader of the opposition, Labour's Jeremy Corbyn. A leaked recording of the EU's chief negotiator made it clear that it was "unrealistic" to conclude trade talks with the United Kingdom by the end of 2021. But parliament has been deadlocked since May's failed bet on a 2017 snap election over how, when and even whether to leave.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn says Britain's election result is "very disappointing" for his party, but he is resisting pressure to step down right away.
Meanwhile, Corbyn on Wednesday launched a fierce attack in Glasgow on the prime minister's integrity, accusing him of "not telling truth" about his talks over the National Health Service, the system of public healthcare providers in Britain, with U.S. President Donald Trump in London last week.
"With Johnson's victory Brexit has become inevitable", said German lawmaker Norbert Roettgen, of Chancellor Angela Merkel's party.

"AWP have helped us deliver many of our developments over the last few years. Whether its Alex and his transport team or Chris and his flood risk / drainage guys helping secure planning permissions or Pete and Rodin and their team getting the technical approvals in place, the whole AWP team are professional and efficient in helping us deliver our programme."
In 2013, we were asked by Devonshire Homes to undertake the civil engineering work to support an outline application for 77 new dwellings in the village of Landkey in North Devon.
We prepared a Transport Assessment, Travel Plan, Flood Risk Assessment, Drainage Strategy and attended a public consultation event. North Devon Council initially refused the outline planning application, but with Alex providing expert highways advice at the Planning Inquiry, permission was granted in 2015. We subsequently undertook further design work to discharge planning conditions and help secure Reserved Matters Approval in 2017. We then undertook the detailed infrastructure design and secured S104 and S38 Technical Approvals to enable construction work to commence.
After such a protracted planning process, it's good to see the development being built out and the first families moving into their new homes. And we like the use of corrugated metal for the garage roofs; not sure where we've seen that before . . .


ARISTO was one of the first manufacturers of flat bed plotters for cutting signmaking vinyls. As sheet material or from the roll, with an automatic material advance system for continued cutting of overlong jobs, kisscutting or diecutting, that is the daily routine of the ARISTOMAT Cutter. Thanks to the adapted tool heads, laminates, heavy vinyls or special materials such as Diamond Grade reflecting vinyls prove not to be a problem. And with the optional conveyor belt, material feed and also the winding- and unwinding equipment, a complete extension package is available for the automation of the process flow.
Cutting digital- or screen prints exacting on contour – no problem with the Automatic Eye. Its camera automatically scans the control points of the print, from these data correction values for the position and distortion of the print are calculated and the cutter cuts the desired contour out exactly.

Barkskins
by Annie Proulx
LoveReading View on Barkskins
One of our Books of the Year 2016.
July 2016 Book of the Month.
For the readership, this is a huge historical novel to immerse yourself in. A dramatic, violent, absorbing, long read for which you need to put aside serious time to devour. You will find it difficult to put down. Charting the lives of two families, the Sels and the Duquets from 1693 to 2013, it tells of the rape of the Canadian natural resources, namely timber and fur but predominantly timber. Hard men made fortunes with little regard for anything but power and wealth, certainly not for their workers' lives or limbs. The first of the immigrant Sels married an Indian; their offspring are then trapped between two cultures. As you would expect, there is a huge number of characters for characters is what Proulx is all about. This is a truly impressive work detailing the destruction of the forests to the point of ecological disaster.
Sarah Broadhurst
Barkskins Synopsis
In the late seventeenth century two penniless young Frenchmen, Rene Sel and Charles Duquet, arrive in New France. Bound to a feudal lord, a seigneur, for three years in exchange for land, they become wood-cutters - barkskins. Rene suffers extraordinary hardship, oppressed by the forest he is charged with clearing. He is forced to marry a Mi'kmaw woman and their descendants live trapped between two inimical cultures. But Duquet, crafty and ruthless, runs away from the seigneur, becomes a fur trader, then sets up a timber business. Proulx tells the stories of the descendants of Sel and Duquet over three hundred years - their travels across North America, to Europe, China, and New Zealand, under stunningly brutal conditions; the revenge of rivals; accidents; pestilence; Indian attacks; and cultural annihilation. Over and over again, they seize what they can of a presumed infinite resource, leaving the modern-day characters face to face with possible ecological collapse. Proulx's inimitable genius is her creation of characters who are so vivid - in their greed, lust, vengefulness, or their simple compassion and hope - that we follow them with fierce attention. Annie Proulx is one of the most formidable and compelling American writers, and Barkskins is her greatest novel, a magnificent marriage of history and imagination.

Barkskins Reader Reviews
In addition to our Lovereading expert opinion some of our Reader Review Panel were also lucky enough to read and review this title. Click here to read the full reviews.
Ed Robson - 'With the publication of Barkskins, Annie Proulx can justifiably lay claim to the title of America's greatest living writer.'
Ann Peet - 'Magnificent, epic novel...An amazing feat of the imagination!'
Catherine Jenkins - 'The Great American Novel of our time, which considers the lives of indigenous inhabitants against a backdrop of deforestation.'
Sarah Musk - 'A magnificent book detailing just over three hundred years of Canadian history through the eyes of two very different families descended from the French settlers from the late seventeenth century.'
Jane Gilman - 'Greed, love, lust, revenge, sorrow and compassion. Those that desecrate and those that nurture, this novel has it all. Proulx fans will be delighted and I am sure this will gather her many more.'
Sheila Johnson - 'If you like long historical family sagas then this is your sort of book. It is a long story. Probably the longest I have ever read and I am 67!!'
Andrea Rayner - 'This is an epic book. It is monumental both in size and in subject matter...But perhaps most striking of all, is the author's love, implicit in the language, of a ravaged landscape.'
Humaira Kauser - 'A complex read that took me a while but was generally good.'
Alfred Nobile - 'A difficult subject handled by a very competent writer. Though I enjoyed this book I much prefer her shorter fiction.'
Val Rowe - 'This is probably Annie Proulx's most magnificent novel ever and one to grace people's bookshelves for decades to come.'
Kathryn Whitfield - 'An amazing powerful story.'
Annette Woolfson - 'How I wanted to love this novel. Parts of it were stupendous - beautiful prose, characters full of passion and tenacity but they, like young seedlings on the forest floor, were nearly starved of light.'
Paula Dennan - 'An epic and meticulously detailed novel about the destruction of the world's forests, that sadly lacks in character.'
Barkskins Press Reviews
Praise for Annie Proulx: 'A sublimely good writer

What Is a Database?
The Library databases listed here are collections of journal articles searchable by author, title, keywords, subject indexing terms, and sometimes every word in the articles. They may contain or link to the full text of the articles, or they may only contain abstracts of the articles.
TIP: Many times a keyword search will give sufficient results. If not, look at a few relevant article titles, abstracts, and keywords or descriptors. They often suggest other good words to use in your search. Also look for "Find more like this" options in the database (although not all databases offer this).
Key Databases for Chemistry
NOTE: SciFinderⁿ requires that users have an individual, free account on the site. To register, please visit the SciFinder registration page. Additional login information is available directly from the CAS as a PDF.
Like its online predecessor, SciFinder (and its print equivalent, Chemical Abstracts), SciFinderⁿ is a core chemistry research and discovery tool for finding chemical substances, reactions, journal articles, and patent records. Two new elements make SciFinderⁿ particularly valuable:
- PatentPak—helps scientists evaluate the relevance of patents by making it easy to navigate quickly to specific substances referenced in the text of a patent
- MethodsNow—enables immediate access to millions of synthetic protocols (i.e., step-by-step synthetic methods)
With its additional functionality, SciFinderⁿ provides information and data faster and more comprehensively than SciFinder did, widening the search landscape and possibly increasing research productivity and impact.
For instructional materials such as tutorials and how-to guides, visit the SciFinder-n Help site.
Database of chemical structures, their associated chemical and physical properties, reaction and synthesis information, and bibliographic data. Covers organic chemistry, organometallic and inorganic chemistry, and the chemistry from relevant patents. Merges the content from three major chemistry data sources (Beilstein, Gmelin, and patent chemistry databases). Can be searched by reaction, substance/structure, property, and citation.
Reaxys is the Web-based successor to the Crossfire system (ended 2011) and provides information about millions of chemical structures, reactions, and properties.
Reaxys merges the content from three major data sources:
The definitive source of information on the structures, reactions, and properties of organic carbon compounds, drawn from the journal literature back to the 18th century.
Gmelin
The definitive source of information on structures and properties of inorganic and metal-organic compounds, drawn from the journal and patent literature back to the early 19th century.
Patent Chemistry Database
A file of organic chemistry information drawn from selected English-language chemical patents (US, WO, EP, 1976- ). Additional historical (1869-1980) patent coverage comes from the Beilstein and Gmelin files.
Cumulates five databases:
Arts and Humanities Citation Index
Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science
In addition to traditional author, title and keyword searches, the citation databases offer access to articles' cited references (from authors' bibliographies). You may take a known, relevant paper and find other, more recent papers that cite it.
A division of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the ACS Publications database provides Web access to more than 30 magazines and peer-reviewed journals published or co-published by the Publications Division. Includes online access to the ACS Style Guide.
RSC Online Journals
Note: Access to all content on this platform is incomplete. Please reference HoyaSearch or the Journal Finder for the library's complete holdings.
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) publishes all of its journal articles on the web as soon as they have completed the production process, typically 4-6 weeks in advance of being published in print. Articles are available in full HTML and are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to allow the referencing of the articles before the Volume, Issue and Page details of the article are known.
WebCSD
WebCSD works only in Firefox and Safari.
Web-based application of information stored in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). Contains bibliographic, chemical, and crystallographic information for organic molecules and metal-organic compounds whose 3D structures have been determined using X-ray or neutron diffraction. New structures are added to WebCSD weekly. Provides "fast, straightforward searches of CSD, rather than attempting to replicate the extensive functionality of the (locally installed) CSD system software for structural analysis." "Contains some additional capabilities not accessible through the installed software, including similarity searching."
General Science Databases
Free (non-subscription) access to the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE and PreMEDLINE. MEDLINE encompasses information from Index Medicus, Index to Dental Literature, and International Nursing Index, as well as other sources of coverage in the areas of allied health, biological and physical sciences, humanities and information science as they relate to medicine and health care, communication disorders, population biology, and reproductive biology.

Jordan Bohannon
Jordan Competes in Monterey Open
MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA - Jordan used a first round 73 and a second round 77 to miss the cut by 5 strokes at the 2018 Monterey Open. The Championship took place at Del Monte Golf Course on the Monterey Peninsula. Del Monte is a part of The Pebble Beach Resorts that also includes Spyglass Hills, The Links at Spanish Bay, and iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links. Jordan finished in a tie for 67th in a field of 126 professionals. Jordan started the tournament on fire. After an opening birdie on number 10, Jordan holed out from 74 yards on number 11 for eagle. He showed flashes of brilliance in nearly every aspect of his game, but was just too inconsistent to make the cut of the top 40 players in ties. However, the tournament offered great experience and the opportunity to assess where his game is strong and what still needs work. There are many shots that Jordan will need to master in order to score well on courses with green complexes like the ones found at Del Monte. Jordan has plans of making some adjustments to his equipment as well.
Jordan will now gear up for his first PGA Tour Pre Qualifier at Boulder Creek Golf Club outside of Las Vegas. The pre qualifier will award the top finishers an opportunity to qualify Monday for the Shriners Hospital for Children Open taking place at TPC Summerlin at the end of the month.

Residence hall  Most students live in an on-campus residence hall with a mix of CIEE students, local university students, and resident assistants. Students live in single rooms with en-suite bathrooms and shower facilities. Lounges and kitchens allow students to meet over meals, cultural activities, study groups, and special events. They are shared spaces, with students enjoying the benefits but also the responsibility of taking care of them. Larger common areas are on the ground floor and inner courtyards offer comfortable spaces to work and relax.
Residence hall: Students can prepare their own meals in the full kitchens. CIEE provides basic cooking utensils and cleaning supplies. Students can also explore the myriad restaurants in our multicultural Kreuzberg neighborhood or throughout the city.
Stay in Berlin for the duration of this unique study abroad experience or add on blocks in other CIEE Open Campus Block program locations (Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Copenhagen, London, Madrid, Monteverde, Paris, Rome, Santiago, Shanghai, Sydney, and Yucatan) to experience more intercultural learning. Students may select one of six academic tracks: Business; Communications, Journalism, and New Media; Global and Community Health; International Relations and Political Science; Language, Literature, and Culture; or STEM and Society.
Global Institute - Berlin. The CIEE Global Institute is in the heart of Kreuzberg, known for its energetic and youthful, international population, food, colorful shops, street festivals, and lively cultural life. A subway trip gets you downtown, while a 10-minute bike ride takes you to Tempelhof, the former airport of Berlin Air-Lift fame and now a giant urban park.
Most courses are taught in English by CIEE faculty; German language classes are available at six different levels; advanced speakers (at least four semesters of college-level German or the equivalent) might have the option of enrolling in CIEE content courses taught in German, depending on availability.

Chow accuses Penang Forum of making baseless claims about LRT project
Friday, 25 Oct 2019 03:50 PM MYT
BY OPALYN MOK
Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow speaks to the press at the Komtar Building in George Town October 25, 2019. — Picture by Sayuti Zainudin
GEORGE TOWN, Oct 25 — Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow alleged today that outspoken citizens group, Penang Forum, made unfounded claims about the state's proposed Bayan Lepas Light Rail Transit (LRT) project.
Chow said Penang Forum's Khoo Salma did so when she criticised the state government for not putting the LRT project's Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) on public display.
"We are disappointed that Penang Forum is now making baseless allegations toward the state government," he said in a press conference at his office today.
He was referring to a letter by Khoo titled "Penang's Bayan Lepas LRT: Glorious legacy or white elephant project" that Malay Mail carried on October 22.
Chow explained that what was displayed now was the LRT project itself as required by the Land and Public Transport Agency (APAD).
"The EIA report for the LRT was already displayed back in 2017 and it was updated and can now be accessed in the Department of Environment's website," he said.
He also claimed the updated EIA need not be publicly displayed as there were only improvements and some additions made to it.
"This public exhibition to get the public feedback and response to it has nothing to do with the EIA," he said.
The public display of the Bayan Lepas LRT project is from August 19 until November 19, he said.
The said the purpose of the display was to get public feedback on it.

A wide majority of sports betting enthusiasts agree that among other major professional sports, baseball offers some of the trade's most profitable wagering opportunities. Despite this fact, baseball is surprisingly one of least popular sports wagered on, probably due to sports gamblers' lack of familiarity with the ways of baseball betting.
Since there is no point spread in baseball betting and the odds attached to the gambling options available in the sportsbooks are different from those characteristic to other sports, baseball betting can be discouraging for inexperienced sports gamblers. However, baseball betting is in fact quite easy, as long as you start with the basics and take on the world of baseball one step at a time. That said, let's begin by covering baseball betting lines and by taking a closer look at the reverse movement of the line in baseball.
A reverse movement of the baseball line occurs each time the odds on a baseball match start moving in the opposite direction of the money being wagered. In sports such as football or basketball, if the favorite is -4 over the underdog and 75% of the money wagered goes on the favorite, it wouldn't be surprising to see the line modify to favorite -5. In the case of a reverse line movement however, the odds would be readjusted to favorite -3, which basically denotes a transition in the opposite direction of what you would normally expect. The same theory applies to the world of baseball betting, with the difference that you are dealing with money line odds instead.
In a baseball betting line-specific example, where the favorite team is -150 over the underdog and say 85% of the money is wagered on the favorite, common sense would imply a line movement to favorite -160. By contrast, in a reverse movement of the baseball betting line, the odds would go backwards and probably settle at favorite -140.
Generally, baseball betting odds fluctuate according to the money being wagered. Yet, the odds aren't dependent only on the amount wagered, but also on who wagers the money at issue. Since the amount of cash wagered on the outcome of baseball games is significantly lower than the total amount bet on regular football or basketball games, baseball betting lines are easier to influence and fructify compared to other sports.
In most situations, the favorite in a baseball clash will get more bets to win than the underdog, as it is believed to be superior to its adversary. For better profits, you should look for situations in which the first-rated team has managed to attract a great deal of wagered money, but the odds attached have decreased. Reverse movements of the baseball lines also have their pitfalls, so avoid making the mistake of wagering blindly on all games featuring this type of backward transition. When in doubt about a particular wager option, it may be better to wait a little longer before placing down your money or consider turning to another game instead.

About Hercilio Luz Bridge
Interesting Places, Bridges, Suspension Bridges, Architecture
Located in Florianopolis, the capital city of Santa Catarina State in southern Brazil, the Hercilio Luz Bridge is the first bridge constructed to link the Island of Santa Catarina to the mainland.
It is the longest suspension bridge in Brazil. The central span was considered quite long (but not the longest, at 340 metres) at the time of its opening and is still one of the 100 largest suspension bridges.
Construction commenced on 14 November 1922 with the bridge being inaugurated on May 13, 1926. The total length is 819.471 metres, with 259 metres of viaduct from the island, a central span of 339.471 metres and 221 metres of viaduct from the mainland.

Re-staging the classic "Harts Mill Inhabited" architectural projection
As Harts Mill is soon to be illuminated with a classic architectural projection show, it's time to shed a little light on the significance of this story.
In 2009 the Harts Mill Inhabited projection show awed audiences of Adelaide with stunning storytelling projections that brought the old mill to life. The Mill complex had been at the centre of a long running contentious struggle within the Port, to have more heritage of the Port Adelaide area preserved and incorporated into the fabric of the area as it underwent renewal. Because so much had already been demolished to make way for future developments, the Mill seemed to become the symbol around which the community gravitated. Being such a touchy subject, the artists were not at liberty to include anything that might spark further unrest in the show. However just highlighting the mill, and telling its story allowed everyone to experience the precinct with fresh eyes and a sense of renewed commitment to saving the heritage of Port Adelaide.
More than six years on, the Harts Mill precinct has been opened up into a new public park. Although the mill itself is still off limits, the community has a reason to celebrate that no five story apartment buildings are now going to dominate the skyline around this historic landmark. The animated projection may be six years old (illuminart has done many more exciting and high tech things since 2009!) but it is still significant in that it was Australia's first fully animated mapped architectural storytelling projection.
Restaging this show has been made possible by:
local community booking ahead for tickets in prime viewing position
local businesses sponsoring a loop of the projection show
Arts SA contributing towards illuminart's New Light Industrial program (supporting light and projection in Port Adelaide)
Renewal SA and Port Adelaide Enfield Council providing event funding and in-kind support
Discounts and other support from Storage King Port Adelaide, Party on Wheels, Mosaic AV
Support by illuminart's volunteers and mentees
Come and see this fabulous show on 9 & 10 May 2014: http://hmi.illuminart.com.au

Building Beauty: The Harmonograph Art of Ivan Moscovich in Composite, the gallery at MoMath (in-person)
The National Museum of Mathematics is delighted to feature the mathematical artwork of Ivan Moscovich. This solo show will include almost three dozen original pieces of Ivan's art, created using his custom-made (and patented) harmonograph, and will explore the aesthetics and mathematics of Lissajous curves. Ivan used the harmonograph, an analog drawing machine that uses pens and pendulums, to generate an incredible variety of elegantly swirling, multi-colored graphic configurations known as Lissajous patterns. First exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 1968, the work it produced was acclaimed as the best math art of the time. Since then, Ivan's creations have been shown in major exhibitions in locations including Berlin, Basel, Mexico City, Tel Aviv, and San Francisco, with a renewed interest in his work in the last few years. The show will include two working harmonographs for visitors to explore how the artwork is created and make their own works to take home. Learn more at composite.momath.org.

Uncommonly smart, uncommonly strange, Hannah Bennett is determined to become a success. In the one-room schoolhouse at Chadds Ford, Hannah is a sensation. She is a whiz at math — so adept that she teaches the other students — but in reading, she is a flop. Give her a piece of poetry and she can tell you how many As, how many Es, and how many Rs there are in it — but she cannot read a word. Her talent is amazing, but in this small town during the Great Depression, people think that girls can only use math for household budgeting. All at once, everything changes for Hannah when she is invited to study math in the big city of Philadelphia. This illiterate farm girl will undertake the adventure of a lifetime in hopes of winning a university scholarship. As long as she stays true to herself, nothing — not reading, writing, or Philadelphia — is beyond Hannah's reach. Learn more and register at tweenprimes.momath.org.

The stars were closed to Max Jones. To get into space you either needed connections, a membership in the arcane Guild, or a whole lot more money than Max, the son of a widowed, poor mother, was ever going to have. What Max does have going for him are his uncle's prized astrogation manuals — books on star navigation that Max literally commits to memory word for word, equation for equation. When Max's mother decides to remarry a bullying oaf, Max takes to the road, only to discover that his Uncle Chet's manuals, and Max's near complete memorization of them, is a ticket to the stars. But serving on a spaceship is no easy task. Duty is everything, and a mistake can mean you and all aboard are lost forever. Max loves every minute of his new life, and he steadily grows in the trust of his superior officers, and seems to be on course for a command track position. But then disaster strikes, and it's going to take every trick Max ever learned from his tough life and his uncle's manuals to save himself and the ship from a doom beyond extinction itself.

Blog - Garand Collector's Association Creates New Master Marksman Program
BlogBot
1 by BlogBot
Individuals must be members of the GCA to be included in the new GCA Master Marksman Program. Visit the GCA website to join at https://thegca.org. To acknowledge those who consistently score well in the John C. Garand Match with As-Issued M1 Rifles at designated Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) competitions, the Garand Collectors Association (GCA) has designed a new GCA Master Marksman Program. "The GCA is grateful to enjoy a cooperative association with the CMP, whose administrative efforts are essential in making this new award a reality," the GCA said in a statement. The GCA Master Marksman program is set to begin in January 2023. Like the CMP's established Distinguished Badge Program, the new addition will work on an Achievement Award point system, based on performance at designated CMP events.
This exciting new program is open to all As-Issued M1 Garand rifle competitors. Points will be awarded based on cut scores and presented as gold (10 pts), silver (8 pts.) and bronze (6 pts) levels. Competitors must reach a total of 40 points overall, with one gold and one additional gold or silver required. All other points may be bronze or greater. The first points to be awarded will be at the 2023 Western Games, held in Phoenix in March. Annual events featuring GCA point competitions currently include:
The GCA will mail out medals to individuals who 40 points towards the award.
CMP Western Games (Arizona) – March 10-19, 2023
CMP Eastern Games (North Carolina) – April 28-May 7, 2023
CMP D-Day (Alabama) – June 6-11, 2023
CMP National Matches (Ohio) – July 2023
CMP New England Games (Vermont) – Sept. 16-24, 2023
CMP Talladega 600 (Alabama) – November 2023
To participate, a competitor must be a current member of the GCA. Individuals may even join the day of the match through the GCA website in order to be considered a valid member. Only As-Issued M1 Garands maybe used. Competition Rules for the John C. Garand Match (Course A: 30 rounds) will be followed as defined in the CMP Games Rifle and Pistol Competition Rulebook. Those who fire in re-entry events will only be able to use their highest score as points. Outside of the Master Marksman Program, the GCA will continue to donate generous funds to the winners of the John C. Garand Matches as well as the semi-auto category of the Vintage Team Sniper Matches at major CMP competitions, regardless of GCA membership. Questions on the new program? Contact CMP's Christina Roguski at 419-635-2141 ext. 714 or [url=mailto:croguski@thecmp.org]croguski@thecmp.org[/url]. About the GCA: Since its beginnings in 1986, the GCA and its members have worked diligently to expand knowledge on the M1 Garand, to preserve its history and to encourage and assist others in collecting the historical rifle. The GCA has also worked closely with the CMP since 2000 on sorting/grading M1 Garand rifles and encouraging competitive and recreational firearm safety.

Former skinhead reflects on shooting at Sikh temple
TJ Leyden tells Anderson Cooper how the suspect in the Oak Creek, Wisconsin, attack used music to spread hate.
Filed under: 360° Interview • Shooting at Sikh temple
pauleky
I am MUCH more fearful of domestic terrorism than I am of foreign. The haters seem to be screaming ever louder, most likely because their way of thinking is dying. As long as certain segments of our society continue to demonize "the other", these kinds of events are going to continue to happen. A big irony in all this is that these people think they're the biggest patriots of all when, in fact, they are the most un-American.

I served with Page too, in A Co 9th PSYOP BN. What people don't seem to grasp is he was a rascist when he got there. He ddn't learn it because of the Army. This guy drove an orange VW THING, because with the exception of the orange color, it looked like a WWII NAZI vehicle. He came there with those beliefs, he didn't develop them there.

I heard TJ speak at the Simon Weisenthal Center in L.A, back in the late 90's. I believe he is completely sincere in his reformation. I knew the Sikh Temple shooter had zero idea he was shooting at some of the most peaceful people on earth when he fired upon them. My thoughts and prayers today are for the victims and thier families. If we are going to fight a "war on terror", perhaps we should work at eradicating it from within the borders of our country first...
