Portville Central School entered a video showcasing the 6th grade effort. Teachers and students alike appeared in the video with scripted scenes and a carefully timed lip-sync at the end. The school used popcorn across disciplines including: Home and Careers, recipe research, creation, and taste test; Art, drawings of mascot Poppy and popcorn short story books; ELA, poetry, poems, short skits, alliteration, jokes; Science, conduction experiment, convection explanation, example of transference, radiation; Social Studies, research popcorn history, classification, cultivated corn in history, popularity of popcorn in the past and present using fun facts. Finished with lip-sync music video and anti-bullying message.
Family Consumer Science students' brains were POPPING at Central Columbia High School while up to their elbows in various popcorn projects, which were delivered in visual and written form. In addition, students engaged the entire school population with popcorn facts, a trivia question of the day, blind taste tests, and gourmet samples in "Popcorn Alley" during a two-week period. Daily popcorn trivia winners were awarded with homemade popcorn balls and scratch-n-sniff popcorn bookmarks. Our cheerleading squad created and performed a special POPCORN cheer. To best understand how popcorn was used as a learning tool in Sports Nutrition, Family Living, Child Development, Basic Foods, and Gourmet Foods, it is best to watch our video.... with closing remarks by "Orville Redenbacher!" Much appreciation to our Video Productions teacher and students for their efforts to film, edit, and produce this video.
Pleasant Hills Middle School is filled with school spirit. We use PRIDE (Preparation, Respect, Individuality, Determination, and Effort) to instill proper values and attitude in the students as they walk through our hallways. We complete this task with a lot of hands-on activities and strive to get the students learning in a way that is safe, dynamic & creative.
Our popcorn week consisted of ratios of popped to "unpopped" kernels in math, learning what makes the kernels pop in science, and the history of popcorn in social studies. In the elective classes, we explored popcorn in a variety of ways. In Health class the students learned about the nutritional value of popcorn. In Family and Consumer Science class, we researched healthy recipes, made a cookbook, and then we prepared and enjoyed some delicious popcorn. The computer class created a popcorn inspired videogame. We loved our popcorn week!
West Allegheny Middle School's 8th grade Family and Consumer Sciences class dove into an intriguing and delicious unit on popcorn. WA's mascot is the Indian so we studied why corn was such a vital resource for the Indians. We also looked at the many uses of corn; the most delicious being popcorn! We learned how popcorn pops too! Each kitchen group then researched and made a popcorn recipe. There was zebra, cheddar, cookies and cream, Movie Theater, chocolate pie, party sprinkles, pizza, and red sweetened popcorn! Their mouthwatering descriptions and pictures can be seen in the video. We had an amazing time learning about, cooking, eating, and celebrating popcorn! The West Allegheny Indians LOVE POPCORN!
Students in grades 4-12 participated in popcorn based education and learning experiences. 4th and 5th grade students created works of art using both the unpopped and the popped kernel. 6th grade science students did background research on popcorn facts before developing their experiment. The class set up an inquiry based experiment and measured the mass of the popcorn before popping and then measured the mass after popping. Based on their data they concluded that the mass of the popcorn increases after it is popped. Students in FCS classes, grades 9-12, created original popcorn recipes. A total of 9 recipes were made and included in a recipe-judging contest. The winner popcorn recipe was a salted caramel and white chocolate popcorn. All the students had a lot of fun with all three projects.
Our Popcorn spirit is very true! The aroma of goodness flows throughout our school. The Head Start One Mile Walkers Club consists of 20 students. We are a Health and Fitness Preschool program that I started in the spring of 2009. These children are taught on a daily basis on how to eat healthy, how to grow a garden and to understand our region for Planting. As part of our daily fitness activities we pretend to be Corn Kernels Popping by bending down and jumping up when they think the kernels are hot enough to pop! I'm hoping that we can win a Popcorn Popper...we've enjoy using our until it will no longer pop corn!
At Eagle Ridge Middle School, we have been chosen as the pilot for "One With the World" which allows us to bring our own devices to school for learning and education. Our FACS department decided to raise money to purchase tablets for our classroom by holding a Popcorn-a-thon. We want to go digital with our recipes, write in our blogs and show other FACS departments that technology can be used in Family and Consumer Science classes. We have three FACS classes, which consist of eighty brilliant and creatively minded students who brainstormed to come up with the Popcorn-a-thon and enter the Popcorn Pep Club Contest. After much planning, organizing and advertising, we ran the Popcorn-a-thon for two days, December 17th and 18th. We opened it up to the entire school, showing them demonstrations, different types of seasonings and recipes, as well as teaching popcorn nutrition. Classes from all grade levels participated and it was such a success, that we have been asked to make it an annual event! Our hope as a class was that everyone had fun and learned more about the history and awesomeness of POPCORN!
Northfield Middle School's Popcorn Pep Club had students creating interesting science experiments, yummy math problems, and very creative snacks. Did you know popcorn WILL pop in the oven at 500 degrees? Removing the moisture in the seeds reduces the amount of popcorn that pops, it also affects the size and the taste. Dying popcorn kernels does not produce red or green popcorn. But we know how to make them dance! Students created a Jeopardy board filled with popcorn facts.
Lubbock High School demonstrated their love for popcorn as the Advanced Fashion Design class contended for the Best of Show during a Popcorn Project Runway Challenge. Fashion Design students featured themes such as Midnight Popcorn Treat, Popcorn Prom and The Indian Sari, A Cultural Corn Classic. The designs were studded in painted popped popcorn and kernels. FCCLA Students also promoted their love for popcorn during a Halloween Popcorn Bucket Challenge to raise funds for an Anti-Bullying Campaign as they involved the entire student body who voted for one administrator and one teacher to be challenged. The Popcorn Bucket Challenge involved FCCLA members dumping approximately a ten-gallon bag of popcorn as they sprinkled the selected faculty member and administrator with season salt and squirted them with butter for the cause. During the assembly, two students featuring the best costumes were also awarded with a popcorn bucket filled with popcorn treats.
My students completed a popcorn video doing many activities with the school. The students organized a carnival, popcorn Friday and commercial ads correlating different core subjects. The students put together the carnival to get interaction with younger students at Jefferson Elementary while correlating different core subjects. During popcorn Friday my students raised $37 in 30 minutes to go towards our school's fundraiser "power of one" which helped families in need over the holidays. The popcorn met Michigan States standards for Food and Nutrition while having facts about popcorn on each bag.

1981 Gibson ES-175D
ELECTRIC GUITAR, ARCHTOP GUITAR
A great looking and completely original ES-175D that's closing in on its 40th birthday. The ES-175 is among the longest running models in the Gibson electric catalogue, having been in production for the better part of 70 years. By about 1959 the 175 landed very much on its final stage of development and saw little change in its design for the 60 years that have followed. This example features a 16" full-depth cut-away body with laminate maple top, back, and sides, a pair of humbucking pickups, floating pickguard and bridge, hinged tailpiece, and sunburst finish. The neck has a bound rosewood fingerboard with parallelogram inlays, and the headstock is finished with pearl logo and crown inlay, and Schaller Kluson-style tuners.
The guitar is very clean and comfortably set up with 11-49 strings and a bluesy action of 5-6 64ths at the 12th fret. Original frets are worn but play well, and the neck has a fast feel with a medium C carve. The back of the headstock is stamped "second' which Gibson did to guitars that had some kind of cosmetic flaw but were otherwise perfectly fine. Forty years on, it's hard to guess at what precipitated the second status, but we suspect it's the fine veneer checking on the bass side of the guitar's lower bout. We couldn't find anything else to fault.
1-11/16" width at the nut, 24.75" scale.

What Is The Best Approach To Rodent Control?
Drew McFadden, Director of Research and Marketing for Xcluder Pest Control Products, discusses the best approaches to rodent control in your facility.
Rodents: Small Creatures/Big Problem
While it's impossible to determine exactly how many rodents live in the U.S., some experts suggest that there could be one rat for every single person. By current numbers, that's more than 325 million. And they multiply a lot faster than people do. In just one year, given ideal circumstances, a single pair of rats could multiply into 1,200, and a single pair of mice into as many as 5,000. The numbers quickly become overwhelming. It's perhaps not surprising, then, that rodents eat or contaminate at least 20 percent of the world's food supply each year. They also transport fleas, lice, and ticks, have been linked to asthma, and carry diseases including rat bite fever, hantavirus, leptospirosis, murine typhus, and even the bubonic plague. Rodents present a problem that is exponential to their size.
Why It Matters To You
Rodents are as relentless as they are prolific. Rats have the ability to gnaw through a disturbing number of materials, including plastic, wood, aluminum, brick, cement, and even lead. They can climb with ease, swim considerable distances and tread water for several days. When looking for food or shelter, they can be relentless in their efforts to make their way inside your building. And once inside, the damage escalates quickly. In addition to contaminating basically everything with their nibbling and excrement, they are also capable of significant structural damage. Gas lines, electrical wires, water pipes, support beams, walls, floors and windowsills are all at risk. Rodents are also capable of burrowing beneath the ground, which can lead to foundation collapse.
This images shows a gap in a door that could be an entry point for rodents.
For these and many other reasons, experts across the globe agree that exclusion – creating physical barriers against rodents to prevent them from entering a building in the first place — is the most effective pest management strategy available. Exclusion involves using rodent proof materials to seal up all cracks, crevices and weaknesses that rodents might exploit to gain entry. This is not an easy task — a mouse only needs a hole the size of a dime to squeeze its way inside, and a rat only needs a hole the size of a quarter. But finding and protecting these weak spots is fundamental to safeguarding a building.
Take it from the CDC, which lists "sealing up holes inside and outside the home to prevent entry by rodents" as its number one suggestion in preventing rodent infestations. Or the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, who recommends "sealing all cracks, crevices, and holes in walls, cabinets and doors" as its top guideline for controlling conditions that promote pests. The importance of exclusion is well-documented and widely publicized.
Installing Xcluder Fill Fabric
What Can Stop a Creature That Can Be Tenacious Enough to Chew Through Lead?
While the need for exclusion is uncontested in the industry, there are still some discrepancies as to which tools are suitable for the job. Occasionally, some experts will offer caulk, mortar or spray foam as inexpensive, easy-to-use exclusion tools. Unfortunately, these products often provide little to no protection against creatures whose teeth can gnaw through concrete. Steel wool is also popular in the exclusion discussion and while usually a better option than caulk and foam, steel wool requires regular replacement because it can rust and decompose over time. Copper mesh is another exclusion material sometimes recommended. This material is likely to deter a rodent, but the sheer amount of it required to fill a small hole can make it a very expensive solution, plus it's a softer metal without sharp edges so it can be difficult to create a tight seal which means the mesh can easily become loose over time, rendering it ineffective.
The most effective exclusion materials on the market today include stainless steel or other permanent elements that will not degrade over time. There are online retailers dedicated to exclusion who offer a wide range of specialty products to protect cracks and crevices, and other problem areas.
Exterior doors, garage doors, loading dock doors, vents, and at points where electrical, water, gas, sewer and HVAC lines enter a building are all common entry points that should be protected. Rodents can also gain access through weep holes, small cracks in the foundation, and beneath roofing tiles.
For all of their scurrying in the shadows, it is also very common for rodents to brazenly walk right through – or perhaps under – the door. Personnel doors, garage doors and loading dock doors are all at risk. Exterior doors should remain closed whenever possible, and sheet iron flashing should be installed at the base of wooden doors, which are vulnerable to rodent gnawing. One common misconception is that standard, rubber door sweeps used for weather sealing are sufficient to keep out rodents. Not true! A standard rubber door sweep won't last the night against a determined mouse or rat. Instead, install door sweeps that are built especially for deterring rodents and have been proven effective.
Another critical yet often-overlooked area in exclusion is loading dock doors. The small gaps beneath and around loading dock doors are susceptible entry points, as is the gap around dock levelers. Rodent-proof seals should be installed on all dock levelers and overhead doors. Vertical side seals are also important because rodents will not stop at ground level attacks.
A Comprehensive Approach
The Mallis Handbook of Pest Control is the leading industry guide and offers additional exclusion and sanitation guidelines:
Ventilator grills and windows should be protected with proper exclusion materials, ensuring any voids or cracks are filled.
Defective drain pipes provide a transportation pipeline for rodents. A perforated metal cover should be cemented over the drain pipe, and any small openings surrounding the drain where it enters the building should be patched or filled with proven exclusion materials.
Large sidewalk cracks should be sealed, as these crevices allow rodents to access a restaurant's foundation and search for entry points. Foundation walls can be protected with barriers of metal, concrete, or brick around and below the foundation.
Circular rat guards should be placed around all vertical wires and pipes.
Ensure that cracked or broken roofing tiles are replaced as needed, and utilize exclusion material to fill any voids.
Trash must be disposed in clean, tightly-sealed containers and stored as far from the building as possible. Trash removal should be frequent enough to ensure the containers are not a reliable rodent food source – ideally two or more times per week.
Standing water attracts rodents, especially rats. Gutters should be free of debris and channel water away from the building. Leaky faucets, pipes and air-conditioning units should be repaired or replaced.
Avoid clutter as much as possible – boxes left on the ground are popular nesting grounds for rodents. Cabinet bases, storage shelving voids and the tiny space behind appliances are also prime targets.
Employees should be trained to notice and report evidence of pests (e.g. rodent droppings in undisturbed areas), which indicate a pest problem that should be addressed immediately.
A comprehensive exclusion plan combined with good sanitation is the safest, most effective pest management strategy available. Pest management professionals can and should be engaged to implement and monitor an effective plan. They should include exclusion as part of their services, and many even offer employee training assistance. With careful exclusion, monitoring and diligence, it is entirely possible to protect your building against even the most invasive of pests.

Celebrating the Americans with Disabilities Act
Posted on: July 22, 2021 Last updated on: August 20, 2021 Written by: Molly Neher Tagged as: ADA disability service dog
Atlas Assistance Dogs is proud to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. On July 26th we celebrate this important civil rights law that works to ensure all people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.
A Brief History of the ADA
While the ADA was signed into law on July 26th, 1990, the fight for disability rights began many years before. Thousands of disabled people and allies are to credit for the disability rights movement. These activists fought for years to challenge the barriers and exclusions that people with disabilities faced. For centuries, people with disabilities were to be "out of sight, out of mind." Many were sent to institutions or worse, sterilized as part of a eugenics movement.
Over the last few decades, the disability rights movement has protested in the streets, in federal buildings, and sought justice in courts and Congress.
1973 marked an important shift in disability policy, with the passage of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 504 was the first civil rights law to ban discrimination on the basis of disability in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. These include federal agencies, schools, human service programs, and many hospitals. The passage of 504 was also historic in that it was the first time that disability was acknowledged as a minority group.
Unfortunately, section 504 was not actually enforced, but the disability rights movement kept growing and becoming increasingly visible. In 1977, activists all over the country mobilized and "sat-in" at Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) buildings, with the longest sit-in lasting 28 days in San Francisco! Finally, on May 4th 1977, thanks to these sit-ins, as well as lawsuits and hearings, Section 504 regulations were issued.
504 Protests 1977
The road to the ADA still had many bumps and barriers to get over. Most of the 1980s were focused on protecting 504 and reinstating civil rights protections, which were being highly challenged by the Reagan administration. The fight was won, and section 504 remained. This was a major victory for the movement. Throughout the decade, many more battles were fought and won, including protections for people with AIDS, and the passing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), a statute which funds special education programs. In 1988, the first version of the ADA was introduced to Congress. After much more awareness raising, lobbying efforts, hearings, and an exceptional Capitol Crawl, in which hundreds of demonstrators abandoned their wheelchairs and crutches and crawled up the steps of the Capitol, the ADA was signed into law by former president Bush on July 26th 1990.
Captitol Crawl 1990
The ADA and Service Dogs
It is thanks to the Americans with Disabilities Act that service dog handlers have the protections and access rights they do. The ADA defines a service dog as "a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability".
It is important to note that the ADA protects the service dog team (i.e the disabled handler, or secondary handler and the service dog). The service dog alone does not have access rights.
Service dog handlers are permitted to enter any public facility and accommodation where the public is allowed, even if the business, building, facility etc. has a "no pets" policy in place. There are a few exceptions to this rule, including certain sterile areas of hospitals such as burn units or operating rooms, religious entities like churches, synagogues or mosques, and restaurant kitchens.
Handler's Rights
The ADA gives guidance as to what service dog handlers can and cannot legally be asked. Public entities may ask only two questions to a person entering with a service dog:
Is this a service dog?
What task/job is the dog trained to perform?
They may not ask about the person's disability, ask for proof of training or documentation stating that the dog is a service dog, or require the person to demonstrate the dog's tasks.
Furthermore, service dog handlers are not to be charged additional fees or separated from other patrons. For example, a restaurant cannot assign a service dog handler to a specific area of the restaurant and a hotel cannot charge the handler with pet fees (though they may charge damage fees if the service dog has damaged the room).
Businesses Have Rights Too
With the increase in service dogs out in the world, and unfortunately, the increase of people passing their pets off as service dogs, we are seeing more incidents where "service dogs" are acting inappropriately in public. This has led to some very real issues both for disabled handlers and their well-trained service dogs, as well as for business owners who are unsure how to properly navigate these incidents.
Due to people bringing their untrained dog in public spaces, many service dog handlers are getting challenged and denied the access that the ADA specifically protects them from. While proper steps must be taken to ensure that people are not passing their pets off as service dogs, it is also important for business owners and public facilities to understand their own rights and know when they can legally ask a person to remove their dog from the premises.
A handler may be asked to remove their dog (even a legitimate service dog) if:
The dog is acting aggressively or creating a disturbance such as barking repeatedly
The dog is not under control of the handler
The dog is not housebroken
However, while they may ask to remove the dog, the public entity must still provide services to the person once the dog is removed.
Disability Rights of Today
Though the ADA was signed into law 31 years ago, the work is far from over for the disability community. Many barriers still exist and it is a continuous battle for the ADA and associated laws to be upheld.
Today, disabled people fight for visibility and accessibility in all spaces: physical and virtual. For example, after a 2006 class action lawsuit against the Target Corporation in which the National Federation of the Blind claimed their website was not accessible, the court held that the ADA applies to websites that have a connection to a physical place. Accessibility on the web includes (but is not limited to) alt text on images and captioned video.
The Modern Disability Community
The fight for disability visibility and rights has been long and on-going. Thousands of disabled activists and allies are to credit for the incredible progress that has occurred, both legally and culturally. And now, thousands more are to keep up the fight for disability rights.
More recently, the movement has spread online, and today's activists help raise awareness through social media. In this way, a strong community of disabled people is building across the world. People are connecting in ways not possible before and many are finding comfort in knowing they are not alone. Furthermore, virtual activism has allowed many more disabled people to participate in the movement, as protests or in-person events are unfortunately still not accessible to all.
Through online platforms, many disabled and chronically ill people are finding a voice and sharing their story. Disability is not to be hidden, shamed, or dismissed. Disability should be seen, fought for, and celebrated with pride. The ADA is a transformative piece of legislation that has been made possible thanks to so many people who have indeed fought for and celebrated disability. As we celebrate the 31 years of the ADA, we also celebrate each and every person who has and continues to bring change, raise awareness, and increase access for people with disabilities.

The nice folks from IBM's developerWorks group asked me to write an intermediate-level set of instructions (with a little code) for how technical teams can identify and find databases and spreadsheets that might contain personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI).
Identity theft and medical fraud are growing problems. They are so big the U.S. government is spending billions of dollars securing its own computer systems and has written thousands of pages of new regulations that you must follow to help protect your customer and employee data. To comply with new regulations and properly secure data, you will need to find personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) in your databases and documents. Both PHI and PII are conceptually easy to understand but very difficult to track in the thousands of relational data stores, files, and spreadsheets that make up a typical organization's IT environment. This article describes some methods to automatically identify and inventory PII, PHI, and other sensitive data with databases and spreadsheets using Java™ technology and the Apache Ant build tool.
Don't forget that there are open source and commercial scanning tools start with similar functionality but add more features. When you look for third-party tools, consider automated discovery (the tools automatically find databases and record sources with PII/PHI), configurable templates (you add your own rules), broad coverage (all files, databases, and network transfers are covered), content scanning, and auditing.
Please check out my developerWorks article and comment either directly on the IBM site or drop me some notes here about what you think about it.

Die ÖBB 2067 ist eine Diesellokomotivreihe der ÖBB.

Geschichte
Nachdem sich die zweiachsigen Dieselloks der Reihen 2060 und 2062 für viele Aufgaben als zu schwach erwiesen, wurde von der Firma SGP die 600 PS starke, dreiachsige Baureihe 2067 entwickelt. Der Motor basiert auf dem Viertakt-Zwölfzylinder vom Typ SGP S12a. Die Kraftübertragung erfolgt über ein hydraulisches Voith-Getriebe (Typ L28St) auf eine Blindwelle die durch Stangenantrieb mit den drei Achsen verbunden war. Von 1959 bis 1977 wurden insgesamt 111 Lokomotiven von den ÖBB übernommen. Die Lokomotiven bis zur Ordnungsnummer 31 hatten einen kleineren Schalldämpfer (mit dementsprechend lauterem Motorengeräusch) und einen anderen Vorbau. Neben zahlreichen kleineren Verbesserungen im Laufe der Bauzeit waren die Lokomotiven der Serie von 2067.42-51 und ab 2067.102 mit Vielfachsteuerung ausgerüstet. Am 9. November 1976 entrollte am Erzberg 2067.41, welche entgleiste und eine Böschung hinab stürzte. Diese Lok ist wiederaufgebaut worden. 1997 rüstete die ÖBB die 2067.093 mit einer Funkfernsteuerung für Testzwecke aus. Die Lok wurde auf Grund dieser besonderen Ausrüstung in 2167.093 umbezeichnet. In den neunziger Jahren beschaffte die ÖBB die 425.01 der VOEST für den Ersatz der 2066.01 im Werkstättenverschub in Wien Floridsdorf und Jedlersdorf. Diese Lok der Reihe LDH 420, von welcher sich auch die Schleppbahn Liesing eine zulegte, wurde 1959 von der VOEST beschafft gilt als Basis/Prototyp der späteren 2067. Anders als diese, leistet bei der LDH 420 der Motor nur 310 kW/421 PS, was auf das Fehlen eines Turboladers zurückzuführen ist. Diese wurde in vielen Details den Serienloks angeglichen, u. a. durch Einbau eines SGP S12na Motors, und bekam die Nummer 2067 201-0. Sie blieb jedoch ein Einzelstück und schied als erste im Jahr 2000 aus. 2001 wurde mit der Ausmusterung von Serienmaschinen begonnen, welche sich bis heute hinzieht. Vereinzelt werden sie noch für kleine Verschübe und Tunnelrettungszüge eingesetzt. 2020/2021 sind offiziell noch 10 Loks im aktiven Bestand inklusive 2067 001 und 003.

Konstruktion
Der Lokrahmen besteht aus starken Längsblechen – diese sind mit Querträgern zu einem Kastenträger zusammengeschweißt. Auf diesem Rahmen sitzt die Antriebsanlage, die sich neben anderen wichtigen Aggregaten in dem längeren Vorbau befindet. Daran schließen das Führerhaus und ein kürzerer Vorbau an. Das Führerhaus und die beiden Vorbauten wurden in geschweißter Blechkonstruktion ausgeführt. Ab 2067 032 wurden die Klappen in Motornähe gegen Schiebetüren getauscht, was die Zugänglichkeit zum Motor erleichterte. Die Radsätze lagern bei den Loks bis 2067.81 in Gleitlagern in Ausnehmungen des Rahmens, ab 2067.82 hat man Rollenlager verwendet. Die Kraftübertragung erfolgt über die Kuppelstangen auf alle drei Achsen. Bis zur 101. Serienlok wurde das Führerstandseitenfenster als Schiebefenster ausgeführt. Die letzte Serie von 1977 von 102-111 bekamen kurbelbare Senkfenster. Viele Loks der anderen Serien wurden auf solche Fenster umgebaut. Teilweise wurde auch das fixe Fenster in der Tür gegen ein Übersetzfenster getauscht, welches die letzte Serie ebenso serienmäßig besaß.

Der Prototyp und das erste Baulos wurden noch in tannengrüner Farbgebung ausgeliefert. Die Stangen waren in Rot und die Räder in Grau gehalten, zudem hatten sie zwei mittig angeordnete hellgraue Zierlinien. Das Dach war silbern lackiert.
Später ausgelieferte Lokomotiven wurden einschließlich Dach und Rahmen in Blutorange lackiert, das Fahrwerk blieb dunkelgrau. Hierbei gibt es auch einige Varianten, so hatten viele der ehemals tannengrünen Loks anfangs tiefer liegende Zierlinien analog dem tannengrünen Design. Ab 2067.82 wurden sie anstelle von Flügelrädern mit Pflatschen ausgeliefert. Die letzte Serie hatte anstelle der Metallziffern Klebeziffern. Um 1984 wurde begonnen, das Design zu entfeinern, wodurch die Zierlinien wegfielen. Ab 1985 wurden zudem die Metallziffern durch Klebeziffern und die 8-stellige Computernummer mit Prüfziffer ersetzt.
Alle noch im Einsatz stehenden Loks der Reihe 2067 sind im Standardfarbschema der ÖBB lackiert. Die Loks haben an den Fronten einen breiten weißen Zierstreifen, Rahmen und Fahrwerk präsentieren sich in Umbragrau und der Rest ist verkehrsrot lackiert, die ersten zwei umlackierten Loks 008 und 087 waren zunächst statt verkehrsrot blutorange und der Zierstreifen war elfenbeinfarben. 1997 waren 2067.58 und 89 eine der letzten blutorangen Vertreter, ehe sie umlackiert wurden. Zur Jahrtausendwende waren alle 112 Loks im Valousek-Design. Die abweichenden 008 und 087 wurden inzwischen dem Standarddesign angeglichen. 2067.03 bekam wieder den ursprünglichen Lack in Tannengrün.

Technik

Die Motorenkonstruktion (Typ SGP 12a) wurden von den Baureihen 2045 und 5145 übernommen. Nur wurde die Drehzahl auf 1500/min erhöht. Im Laufe der Produktion wurde eine weiterentwickelte Variante eingebaut. Die neue Bezeichnung lautete SGP S12na. Bei ein paar Loks wurde der SGP S12a gegen den SGP S12na getauscht. 13 Loks wurden in den 1990er Jahren remotorisiert und erhielten Caterpillar-Motoren. Von diesen Loks existieren 2020 noch sechs, davon eine im aktiven Dienst. Die Serien 42-50 und 102-111 besitzen eine Tandemsteuerung. Diese hat anders als bei anderen Baureihen auch einen pneumatischen mit Druckluft ausgeführten Teil. Sie kann jedoch nur eingesetzt werden, wenn die zwei Loks mit den Führerstanden zueinander stehen. Bei der Serie 42-50 wurde sie 1973 nachgerüstet.

Die Kraftübertragung vom Motor erfolgt über eine Welle auf ein hydraulisches Turbogetriebe vom Typ Voith L28/III/4-1.6 St-09, das eine Blindwelle antreibt. Die mittlere Achse ist bei der Serie 62-71 mit einem geschwächten Spurkranz, bei allen anderen seitenverschiebbar ausgeführt. Alle Loks der Baureihe 2067 verfügen über eine selbsttätige und eine nicht selbsttätige Druckluftbremse, und eine Einfache Sifa. Eine PZB ist in der Originallok nicht vorhanden, aufgrund geänderter Vorschriften wurde im TS Werk Linz 2008/2009 Versuchsweise die 2067.107 mit einer I60 nachgerüstet.
Alle noch vorhandenen gewesenen Loks der jüngeren Serien und 2067.04 des Ösek bekamen ebenso eine I60. Einige bekamen auch den GSM-R-Funk.

Einsatz
Die mechanisch robuste Baureihe bewährt sich bis heute im leichten bis mittelschweren Verschub, wurde aber in den letzten Jahren durch die vierachsigen Reihen 2068, 2048 (vorübergehend) und 2070 verdrängt. Ab 2000 wurde sie auch noch im leichten Streckendienst verwendet. Eingesetzt wird die 2067 auf Bahnhöfen für Verschubdienste, u. a. in Wien West, Wien Süd, Villach Westbahnhof, Wiener Neustadt, Wels, Innsbruck oder Salzburg. Gelegentlich werden die Loks für leichte Bezirksgüterzüge eingesetzt. Einige Loks der Reihe 2067 sind in der Nähe langer Tunnels mit Tunnelrettungszügen stationiert. 2020 beschränkt sich das Einsatzgebiet der Loks nurmehr auf den Werkstättenverschub, wie in Wels, Salzburg, Innsbruck oder Knittelfeld und Tunnelrettungszüge unter anderem in Landeck-Zams, Leoben und St. Michael. Insgesamt sind derzeit noch ca. 10 Loks im aktiven Dienst. Bis zu 15 weitere sind auf Abstellgleisen abgestellt und warten auf ihr Schicksal. Die Zeit dieser Baureihe ist bei der ÖBB so gut wie abgelaufen.

The United States and Britain will offer a new resolution on Iraq to the United Nations Security Council today Monday and the final showdown could come in about two weeks.
Such a timetable would clear the decks for war in mid-March, with or without formal Security Council backing for a new resolution.
The resolution is expected to be short. It will state that Iraq has not complied with the terms of resolution 1441 and will remind Iraq that 1441 warned that serious consequences would follow.
There will be no deadline. Instead the UK and UK are saying that they will call for a vote in about two weeks time.
The American position is as determined as ever and the British Government shows no signs of wavering now.
Nor do the opponents of war, led by France, Germany and Russia.
The British Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, speaking after a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Brussels, said that the resolution would state that Iraq had "failed to take its final opportunity to comply."
He said that Spain was a co-signatory with the US and UK.
Exactly when the decisive moment comes is not yet clear - it will be after a report by Dr Hans Blix to the Council, expected on 7 March. The vote could come in the week of Monday 10 March.
It appears that the US and UK want to bring the issue to a conclusion before or perhaps even on the date of 14 March proposed by France for another Security Council meeting.
According to British officials, the resolution will be a "fairly simple concept".
Countries would know whether they were voting for a war or not.
One new test of Iraqi compliance will be its attitude in complying with an order by Dr Blix to destroy its al-Samoud II missiles. He wants the process to start by 1 March.
These were declared by Iraq to have gone beyond the 150 kilometres limit in tests, and Dr Blix has found them to be in violation of Security Council rules.
Any Iraq resistance to an order to get rid of them will be used against it by Britain and the US.
At the same time, France has proposed a new and stricter system of inspections, demonstrating its determination not to give up now.
Within the Security Council, the mood seems to be still firmly against going to war.
Of the other permanent members, France, Russia and China urge that more time be given for inspections.
Among the temporary members, who do not have a veto, Germany goes even further.
Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has declared: "My opposition to war is fundamental."
British officials acknowledge that the two sides are not even talking the same language, as was evident when Mr Blair clashed with the chancellor at a European Union summit on Iraq.
Mr Schroeder had asked why the inspectors could not be given more time to look around, whereupon Mr Blair said that they were not in Iraq to act as detectives.
A lot of heavy diplomatic work is being done by the Americans among the potential swing votes - Bulgaria, Pakistan, Cameroon, Guinea, Angola, Chile and Mexico.
Syria would probably oppose a war anyway.
Nine of the 15 votes are needed to pass a resolution and there have to be no vetoes from any of the permanent five.
If a majority of nine or more approved a new resolution, yet it was vetoed, Britain and the US might claim a "moral majority".
However, if a resolution fails even to gain a majority, Mr Blair's pledge only to override an "unreasonable" use of the veto would be hard to sustain.
In such circumstances, a veto would not even be necessary.
Much will again depend on what the inspectors say.
If they are broadly neutral, as they were last time, giving Iraq some good and bad marks, then it is unlikely that opinion in the Security Council will swing behind the US and Britain.
If, however, the inspectors say that Iraq is causing problems, the American and British task will be made easier.
Either way, the path to be trod is now a short one.
The diplomatic timetable is being squeezed to fit into the military one.
The fact is that the troops will not be in position before March, but the fact also is that they cannot stay in the region indefinitely.


Welcome to CFile's Year in Review! We're revisiting our favorite posts. They're arranged in no particular order. We're not commenting on the quality of what we did (or didn't) include. Rather, we're reminiscing about all of the fine things ceramics has given us over the last two years. Think of it as a victory lap. We may revisit some of these lists in the spring for a special project, so please let us know what you think of them in the comments.
Here, we'll look back at brick and tile art, exhibitions and interventions.
Chicago artist Jim Bachor won't succumb to the negativity of potholes. Rather than treating them as something to be despised and fought against, what if they could be something that enhances their environment? Bachor, who is inspired by the timelessness of ancient mosaics, spent the summer of 2013 installing tile mosaics in potholes across Chicago. The subjects of these murals reframe your relationship to something that was previously hateful. Who can honestly say that they hate ice cream?
For the last 100 days, as world leaders prepared for a U.N. climate summit and as the air above northern China took on the look of a smoker's lung, performance artist Wang Renzheng, known as "Nut Brother" has been vacuuming the air in Beijing. Dressed like a janitor-turned-end-times-prophet in blue coveralls and a gas mask, Nut Brother has spent four hours each day collecting pollutants that would normally end up in the lungs of the city's 11.5 million residents. At the end of the 100 days, Nut Brother mixed the dust with clay and shaped it into a brick.
Silverman presented a series of tiled works, Tirana, an homage to artist Edi Rama who became the mayor of Tirana, Albania in October 2000. The works commemorate old soviet architecture and Rama's bold plan to turn them into a refreshing source of beauty, rather than a reminder of the political past. The story reminds us of similar public works projects that have attempted to heal the soul of a community, in particular of the tile mosiacs that have gone up in the city of Jacmel after an earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010.
Sebastian Erras, a photographer from Amberg, Germany, started his own art project/public service announcement about mosaics. His Parisian Floors project showcases ornate tile work he finds in the City of Art. Each floor is cropped and frames Erras' feet within the shot. The message (other than "this guy's shoes seem to match every mosaic in Paris") is to pause and to take account of your surroundings, because there could be something incredible you otherwise would have glossed over. He uploads the pictures to his Instagram account, along with addresses where people can find the tile work for themselves. Each photograph is an invitation for the viewer to see Paris from Erras' perspective.
Jabali, a third generation Palestinian, said he is disassociated from the problems present Palestinians face on a daily basis, but he wanted to use his skills as a designer to help alleviate some of the humanitarian issues that continue during the conflict.
The building is notable for its handcrafted ceramic tiles that feature crystalline structures. These were designed by London ceramic artist Kate Malone. The motif is shared by the building's bronze plinth. The bronze panels were designed by Michael Eden in collaboration with Malone.
Back in February we wrote about the danger facing Eduardo Paolozzi's mosaics which have adorned the walls of London's Tottenham Court Road tube station. The mosaics, at least a few of them, had to come down due to reconstruction efforts in the station.
The new work includes "nine large medallions" containing images of birds, vases, fish and beasts, surrounded by interlocking forms and smaller rectangles that also contain fauna. The larger Lod Mosaic features similar animals, but also scenes of ships surrounded by large sea creatures. The pair of works look just as articulate as when Roman socialites tread on them nearly two millennia ago.
Though bricks as an artistic medium are faithful to the doctrine of minimalism 'seeking temperate formal aesthetics and essence by pursuing the simplest and concise way with the characteristics of simplicity, repetition, and property of material, they exist beyond the modular concept of minimalism due to the numerous symbolic representations of brick itself.
Thus, the existence of WABA, that utilizes brick as an artistic medium has such strong meaning, and their love and use of brick is understandable. Bricks themselves are the icon of architecture and metaphor of life.
In 2010 the Török és Balázs Építészeti Kft. architecture firm built a library in the Hungarian city of Pécs. Their design includes a "beehive," a symbol of reason and learning which is clad in tiles manufactured at the city's storied Zsolnay Factory.
What do you think of the brick and tile works above? Let us know in the comments!

One of the best overall treatments of the causes of insufficiency in today's pulpit ministry.
Pastoral Book Reviews – The Christian Ministry
Reviewed by Dr. C. Matthew McMahon
by Charles Bridges
Banner of Truth Trust, Carlisle, PA: 1997
390 Pages, Hardback.
Charles Bridges (1794-1869) was one of the leaders of the Evangelical party in the Church of England in the last century. He was vicar of Old Newton, Suffolk, from 1823 to 1849, and later of Weymouth and Hinton Martell in Dorset. The Christian Ministry is Bridges' best-known literary work.
Bridges divides his work into 5 parts: 1) The General view of the Christian's Ministry (which covers such topics as the Divine Origin and Institution of the Christian Ministry, Qualifications of the Ministry, and Preparation for the Ministry) 2) General Causes of the Want of Success in the Christian Ministry (which covers topics such as The power of Satan a main hindrance to Ministerial Success and the want of a Divine call a main cause of failure in the Christian Ministry), 3) Causes of Ministerial Insufficiency connected with our Personal Character, 4) The Publick Work of the Christian Ministry, and 5) The Pastoral Work of the Christian Ministry (Here he discusses cases in the work of Pastoral ministry like "the infidel" and "the young Christian).
This book is another ladened with practical and important truth which every minister should cling to. Bridges will raise the level of the pastorate in the eyes of all those who claim the banner of Christian ministry in this regard. He will also show what the pastorate is and what the pastorate is not. He will dispel the fallacies and engage the Pastor in his work, rebuke him, exhort him, and aid him in becoming a better and more reliable witness for the truth of Christ.
Some Quotes:
"The Great Head of the Church has ordained three grand repositories of His truth. In the Scriptures…in the hearts of Christians…and in the Christian Ministry."
"For the minister, the whole work of our our particular calling is a kind of living heaven…" (footnote)
"None but He who made the world can make a minister of the Gospel."
"The solid establishment of the people may be materially hindered by the minister's contracted statements, crude interpretations, or misdirected Scriptural application."
"It will not fail to be objected that if none were to be admitted into holy orders, except those who are possessed of every necessary qualification, there could not possibly be procured a sufficient number of Pastors for the supply of our Churches. To which i answer, that a small number of chosen Pastors is preferable to a multitude of unqualified teachers. At all hazards we must adhere to the command of God, and leave the event to Providence. But in reality the dearth of pastors is not so generally apprehended. To reject those candidates for holy orders, whose labors in the church would be wholly fruitless, is undoubtedly a work of piety. Others, on the contrary, who are qualified to fulfill the duties of the sacred office, would take encouragement from this exactness and severity; and the Ministry would every day be rendered more respectable in the world."

Флорис V (, , июль 1254 — 27 июня 1296), граф Голландии и Зеландии с 1256 года, предпоследний представитель фризской династии Герульфингов. Один из кандидатов на шотландский королевский престол в 1291 году, в ходе «Великой тяжбы». Сын антикороля Вильгельма II и Елизаветы Брауншвейгской.

Детство
Отец Флориса Вильгельм (1227—1256) вёл успешные войны против западных фризов. Но во время одного из походов  при попытке пересечь замерзшее озеро антикороль потерял лошадь, провалившуюся под лёд, и 28 января 1256 года был убит фризами, которые спрятали тело.

После смерти в 1256 году своего отца Вильгельма II, Флорис в 4 года стал графом. С 1256 до 1258 годы его регентом был дядя Флорис. После того, как дядя погиб на турнире в 1258 году, правила тетя графа — Аделаида Голландская. Правление Аделаиды вызвало сопротивление части знати, и они призвали Оттона II Тонкого, графа Гельдерна. Оттон, победив 22 января 1263 года при Реймерсвале  Аделаиду, стал до совершеннолетия Флориса регентом.

Правление

Голландия

В 1266 году Флорис начал самостоятельное правление.

В 1272 году? пытаясь вернуть тело отца, Флорис совершил неудачный поход на западных фризов. Из Кеннемерланда восстание переместилось на север Голландии. В 1274 году к восстанию присоединились дворяне во главе с влиятельными лордами Гейсбрехтом IV ван Амстелом, Зведером Абкоуде (), Арнаудом ван Амстелом, и Германом VI ван Вурденом, владевшими землями на границе Утрехта и Голландии. Их поддержали цеха Утрехта, крестьяне Кеннемерланда (Алкмар, Харлем и др), Ватерланд (к северу от Амстердама) и Амстелланд (Амстердам и др) и западные фризы. Епископ Утрехта , был изгнан. Флорису путём уступок удалось замирить Утрехт и Кеннемерланд. Это поставило епископа Утрехта в зависимость от поддержки Голландии, и в конечном счете привело к присоединению в 1279 году земель недовольных вассалов епископа к Голландии. По примеру Кеннемерланда Флорис провел прокрестьянские реформы во всех своих владениях за что и получил прозвище Крестьянский Бог.

Отношения с Фландрией

В 1272 году разорвал союз с Авенами, правившими Генегау и поддержал Дампьеров, правивших Фландрией. Брак Флориса с Беатрисой — дочерью Ги Дампьера, графа Фландрии давал шанс завершить столетнюю борьбу Голландии и Фландрии за Зеландию.

В 1282 году Флорис снова напал на фризов на севере, победил их при Вронене и перезахоронил тело отца. После кампании 1287—1288 годов он окончательно победил фризов. В 1287 году его права на Зеландию были подтверждены императором, но зеландская знать обратилась к графу Фландрии, который вторгся в 1290 году. Договорившись о встрече с тестем, Флорис был взят в плен. Под давлением Англии Ги был вынужден отказаться от требований и затем освободить зятя из Бервилета ().

Флорис планировал возобновить войну, но Эдуард I, заинтересованный в нидерландской шерсти и других товарах, убедил Флориса закончить военные действия с Фландрией.

Союз с Англией

В 1281 году Флорис обручил свою дочь с английским наследником престола (на тот момент), но ранняя гибель принца помешала свадьбе. В 1285 году произошло обручение малолетних детей Эдуарда и Флориса — Иоанна Голландского и Елизаветы Английской.

В 1291 году Флорис совершил путешествие в Шотландию, передав английскому королю на воспитание своего сына Иоанна. В 1292 году Флорис, как правнук Ады, сестры Вильгельма I Льва, выдвинул претензии на шотландский трон во время «Великой тяжбы». Хотя он и не получил поддержки от Эдуарда, но поддержал Англию в новом конфликте с Францией. Флорис выступил посредником между Эдуардом и королём Германии Адольфом Нассау в 1298 году.

Заговор и смерть

Эдвард I, стремясь получись поддержку Фландрии против Франции, переместил контору по торговле шерстью из голландского Дордрехта в брабантский Мехелен. В ответ Филипп IV Красивый в 1296 году получил поддержку противников Ги Дампьера, Жана II д'Авена и Флориса V Голландского. Эдвард I запретил английскую торговлю с Голландией и вместе с графом Фландрии помог организовать заговор части знати против Флориса. Гейсбрехт IV ван Амстел и   вместе с  во время ястребиной охоты захватили Флориса в плен и увезли его в замок Мёйдерслот. Жители, узнав о захвате графа, стали его искать. Похитители пытались скрыться но были остановлены сердитой толпой местных крестьян. Герхард ван Велсен убил графа, и заговорщики сбежали. Герхард ван Велсен позже был захвачен и убит в Лейдене.

Семья

Память

Будучи популярным среди простого народа, граф Флорис V получил прозвище Крестьянский бог (). Образ его был увековечен в  его придворного секретаря Мелиса Стоке (около 1305 г.), материалы которой использовались позднейшими нидерландскими историками и летописцами.

Йост ван ден Вондел писал об Флорисе в пьесе «Гейсбрехт Амстердамский» (1637), Питер Хофт — в трагедии «Герхардт ван Фелзен», Вилем Билдрейк — в драме «Флорис V». У Хофта и Вондела Флорис — тиран, а его убийцы национальные герои. Билдрейк изобразил графа невиной жертвой вероломных васалов.

Флорис V даровал торговые привилегии многим голландским населенным пунктам (например Амстердам, Слидрехт, Зутервауде, Схидам,Ворсхотен).

Stags go homeless for a night
By Danica Ceballos
Most Fairfield students wake
up in the morning in their comfort-able
beds, complete with a foam
mattress pad and cozy sheets. They
slowly get up, make some break-fast
and coffee and maybe turn on
the television while relaxing on the
couch before beginning a hectic day.
Though most Fairfield students
don't wake up to the rumbling of a
trash truck, the cold hard cement
ground stabbing into their back, a
flimsy cardboard box as their only
shelter and the morning air chilling
the tip of their nose, that is exactiy
what 10 Fairfield students experi-enced
on Oct. 3.
"It was incredibly hard to fall
asleep. I can honestly say there is no
comfortable position when you are
trying to sleep in a box," said Mol-ly
Camp '16. "I tried to fall asleep
around 12:30, and I would say I
got a total of two to three hours of
sleep,"
In an effort to raise awareness
for homelessness, the Students for
Social Justice club set up a home-less
village of cardboard boxes just
outside the Oak Room on Thursday
night. All students were invited to
sleep outside for the night to be in
solidarity with the homeless.
While 10 students slept out
until 5:45 a.m., 16 students came
and went throughout the evening
to show support for the cause. Mod-erator
and campus minister Jocelyn
E. Collen acknowledged the stu-dent
participants, saying, "All of the
S4SJ students had classes all day on
Thursday and had classes and as-signments
due on Friday. Yet, they
took time to stand in solidarity with
the poor."
Sophomore Sarah Almeida ex-plained
why she wanted to sleep out,
saying, "Living on a college campus,
especially in Fairfield, we don't see
people that don't have homes every-day,
so I think it's important to make
students aware that this is such a big
While the Homeless Village
was moved last year to the Oak
Room from the traffic circle, due to
weather conditions, the club found
that they were able to interact with
more students walking back and
forth from the library.
Camp explained that most
students were genuinely interested
in what the club was doing; some
passersby, however, were not as

By Robert Joyce
Crime Beat Reporter
New information has been re-ceived
regarding the incident on Sun-day,
Sept. 22, where multiple parties
were involved in a violent outbreak in
Dolan Hall, resulting in three arrests,
several injuries and extensive property
damage.
According to a statement from
two of the students involved in - but
not arrested after - the Dolan brawl,
they received violations for Fairfield's
alcohol policy, for which they pled
"responsible." The two also received
violations for breaching the fight-ing
policy as well as the disorderly or
disruptive conduct/under the influ-ence
policy, for which they pled "not
responsible."
Despite the pleas of "not respon-sible,"
the Office of the Dean of Stu-dents
found them responsible for all
violations, and they were placed on
disciplinary probation until May 31,
It was confirmed by Frank Ficko,
associate director of public safety, that
a golf club was allegedly used in the al-tercation,
and was confiscated by Fair-field
Police at the scene of the incident.
Francis McGoldrick was dis-missed
from Fairfield as a result of the
incident, according to sources close to
McGoldrick. He declined to comment
on the incident after being contacted
multiple times by The Mirror.
Junior J. Brendan McGlew wrote
a letter to the editor which appeared
in last week's issue of The Mirror.
McGlew said that the part of the in-cident
that was most unsettling was
"the press' connection with this story."
He claimed that he was "not present
during the event that was mentioned
by the press," and that he did what he
"believed to have been right, which
was to try and protect everyone and
help break up the fight."
Bells ring for victims
By Jessica Delahunt
On the evening of Sept. 24,
Fairfield residents gathered under
the gazebo at Sherman Green to rec-ognize
with a candlelight vigil.
"We need to give women the
strength to say enough is enough,"
said State Attorney Judy Stevens.
The event, organized by the
Bridgeport Center of Women and
Families, united a variety of speak-ers,
including local politicians, law
enforcement officers and students,
toward one cause: empowering vic-tims
of domestic violence to come
forward and seek justice for the
crimes committed against them.

domestic violence occurs every 15

Other numbers presented by
Deborah Greenwood, CEO of the
Center, were just as staggering:

will experience domestic violence in
her lifetime.
During the first three months
of this year, 90 children were or-phaned
due to domestic homicide.
More than three women die of
domestic violence every day.
"That's just way too many," said
Greenwood. "One life is too many."

Ajaigarh fou un principat de l'Índia a l'agència del Bundelkhand dins l'agència de l'Índia Central. Limita al nord amb el principat de Charkhari i el districte de Banda; al sud i est amb el principat de Panna; i a l'oest amb el de Chhatarpur. La capital Ajaigarh està a 30 km de Kalinjar, però el sobirà residia a Naushahr, un poble ben construït a la vora del turó (a 415 metres, el turó mesura un 550 metres) al nord del fort.

Geografia
La superfície és de 2012 km² i inclou 321 pobles amb una població el 1881 de 81.454 habitants, de 93.048 habitants el 1891 i de 78.236 el 1901. Està format per dues parts separades, una a l'entorn de la ciutat d'Ajaigarh i l'altra a l'entorn de Maihar. El riu principal és el Ken amb el seu afluent el Bairma.

Exèrcit
L'exèrcit del principat era de 150 homes de cavalleria, 100 d'infanteria i 50 artillers amb 15 canons.

Història
Els seus governants són bundeles rajputs descendents del cap bundela Chhatarsal, fundador de Panna que el 1731 va dividir els seus dominis pels seus fills i Jagat Raj, el tercer fill, va rebre Ajaigarh; el seu fill i successor Pahar Singh va lluitar contra els seus nebots Khuman Singh i Guman Singh i finalment es va arribar a un acord pel qual Guman va rebre el districte de Banda incloent el fort d'Ajaigarh (1765); Bakht Singh, nebot de Guman Singh, sobirà de Banda, fou expulsat d'Ajaigarh el 1792 per Ali Bahadur, i va quedar reduït a extrema pobresa i a viure de la caritat del conqueridor. El 1803, al prendre possessió els britànics li van concedir una pensió de 30000 rúpies a l'any mentre no se li assignés un territori; el 1807 un decret li va concedir les parganes de Pawai i Kotra.

En aquest moment Ajaigarh estava en mans de Lakhman Daowa (turbulent cap de bandits que l'havia aconseguit subornant al governador) el qual finalment va pactar amb els britànics; aquestos li van oferir romandre per dos anys com a senyor d'Ajaigarh pagant un tribut de 4000 rúpies, però Lakhman no ho va acceptar i el 1809 el coronel Martindell va ocupar Ajaigarh, i els seus territoris incloent el fort d'Ajaigarh, foren entregats en gran part a Bakht Singh; les possessions del nou estat d'Ajaigarh van ser definides per un sanad de 1812. Bakht va morir el 21 de juny de 1837 i el va succeir el seu fill Madho Singh, que va morir el 1849, passant el tron al seu germà Mahipat Singh. Aquest va morir el 22 de juny de 1853 i el va succeir el seu fill Bijai Singh que va morir el 12 de setembre de 1855. Com que no hi havia hereus directes l'estat havia de retornar als britànics i mentre l'afer s'estudiava va esclatar la rebel·lió de 1857.

Per l'ajut als britànics per part la reina mare, el principat fou cedit a un germà bastard de Bijai Singh, Ranjor Singh, el 1859; el 1862 va rebre el tradicional sanad d'adopció i el 1877 el títol de maharajà sawai i salutació d'onze canonades; el 1866-1867 va patir una severa fam. Va morir el 7 de juny de 1919 i el va succeir el seu fill gran Bhopal Singh i a aquest, a la seva mort el 1942, el seu fill Punya Pratap Singh. L'1 de gener de 1950 l'estat va quedar integrat dins l'Índia.

Escut i Bandera
L'escut està partit en cremallera de gules sobre sinople, amb pal central daurat, carregat amb gotes de gules. Al damunt elm de plata amb llambrequins vermells i vers; sobre l'elm una ocell de plata sobre una rama (variant: una torre); l'escut està aguantat per un tigre i un cérvol en colors naturals (els corns del cérvol negres), descansant sobre una decoració daurada que aguanta també una cinta porpra, on està escrit el lema de l'estat en plata: "Ramdhir ajay wir"

La bandera d'estat és un doble banderí porpra el de dalt més petit que el de sota, i que s'ajunten al pal; al banderí de dalt un hanuman blanc portant una muntanya a la mà dreta i una massa a l'esquerra; al banderí inferior un sol daurat en esplendor proper al pal, amb les inicials del sobirà al seu interior en negre. La part posterior de la bandera és diferent: el mateix color i disposició però a la part de dalt sense res i a la part inferior una flor de sis fulles propera al pal, i més cap al vol (aproximadament al centre del banderí) una mitja lluna daurada amb les puntes cap amunt. Es coneix la bandera amb les inicials en lletres sànscrites i llatines.

La bandera reial, datada el 1877, és un banderí penjat vertical i amb la part inferior semi arrodonida, de color groc amb serrell vermell i l'escut a tot color al centre. La part posterior és groga amb un segon escut emmarcat al centre amb el marc (probablement de plata) ple de flors blanques i fulles verdes, i dins l'escut un cercle emmarcat amb el marc (també de plata) igualment amb flors i fulles, i dins del cercle una inscripció en lletres sànscrites.
