The Office of Vermont State Auditor Tom Salmon, CPA, introduced an updated website today for citizens and state employees with ideas for savings or concerns about potential fraud, waste or abuse in government programs. These are not ordinary financial times, said Auditor Salmon in a statement. It has never been more urgent to remind everyone involved in government spending that the money comes from the people and should be spent wisely and efficiently, he noted.In addition to fraud suspicions, the hotline and website will accept ideas for improving government services and reducing costs. In the face of rising costs and diminishing resources, state government today needs ideas for lowering costs and improving services, said deputy State Auditor George Thabault. Auditor Tom Salmon wants to remind any citizens, state workers or recent state retirees that they can get their ideas to us confidentially if they d like, he said. We ll review them and try to get them considered at the right levels. We also want to highlight that people can report instances of possible fraud, waste and abuse with confidential reporting at the Auditor s website (www.auditor.vermont.gov(link is external)) or toll-free hotline (877-290-1400), he said. Thabault said the Auditor s Office will typically perform an initial review of allegations, but that serious fraud cases will be referred to the Attorney General s Office.Thabault said fraud is intentional deception or misrepresentation that an individual makes knowing it to be false, and may result in unauthorized benefit payments either to that individual or to some other person. There is a wide range of acts that may constitute fraud under federal or state laws. Abuse does not necessarily involve fraud and other law-breaking, Thabault noted, but it typically refers to actions that are deficient or improper when compared with behavior that a prudent person would consider reasonable or a good business practice. Abuse also includes misuse of authority or position for personal financial interests or those of an immediate or close family member or business associate.Deputy Thabault said some waste can be easy to spot, such as excessive energy consumption or purchasing products that are never used, while other examples are hard to detect initially, such as duplication of effort, failure to use available technology, poor process design, saving initially on products that actually have high life-cycle costs, unnecessary overtime, etc. Eliminating waste helps provide a department or agency more resources to fulfill its mission, Thabault said.Included on the Auditor s web site is information on how to report various potential frauds or instances of waste and abuse:Medicaid Provider Fraud (call 802-879-5900 and ask for the Program Integrity Unit)Medicaid Beneficiary Fraud (call 802-241-2826 for the Fraud & Quality Control Office of the Dept. of Children & Families): Examples of beneficiary or provider fraud include intentionally trying to defraud the program by various means including providing false information, such as actual residence or income; selling supplies, equipment or medications; using stolen Medicaid numbers; tampering with prescriptions; and submitting claims for services or items not furnished.Unemployment Insurance Fraud (call 802-828-4333): This fraud can occur when someone receives unemployment benefits they are not entitled to, or when companies misrepresent employees as independent contractors, or intentionally misreport wage income.Workers Compensation Fraud (call 802-828-2997): This fraud can occur when someone receives workers’ compensation benefits that they may not be entitled to, or when a company intentionally misrepresents the activities of employees to secure a lower workers compensation insurance premium.Food Stamp Fraud (call the Economic Services Division district office nearest you see below for listing): Food Stamp fraud is the intentional misrepresentation, concealment or withholding of information in order to get food stamp benefits. It is fraud to sign any papers (such as an application for benefits, a questionnaire, or recertification papers) in which the information in the papers is not true.Vendor Fraud (call 877-290-1400): Vendor fraud can occur when invoices to State agencies and departments contain significant intentional errors or when a claim for payment for services or products provided is false.Social Security Fraud (call 800-269-0271 or www.socialsecurity.gov(link is external)): This can occur when individuals conceal work activity while receiving disability benefits, or when a person receives benefits for a child not under their care, or makes false statements on claims.


…Visits family home in Aghalokpe, receives prayer from
Ahead of the 2023 General election, Deputy President of the Senate and the All Progressives Congress, APC gubernatorial candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has challenged his opponent in the PDP, Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori to a National debate that will be televised nationally.
He challenge Oborevwori to stop hiding behind his political godfather and vice presidential candidate of the PDP, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, in his campaigns, charged Deltans to pressurised the PDP governorship flagbearer to personally speak to them in an open debate to aired nationally.
Omo-Agege who accused Governor Okowa and Sheriff of abandoning the Technical College at Ororeokpe, the only tangible project attracted to Okpe Local Government Area by Oborevwori, and promised to complete the school project when elected as governor.
He also challenged Oborevwori to tell Deltans what he has done as the longest serving Speaker and what he will do as a governor if elected into office in 2023.
The senator further berated Oborevwori for failing to use his influence as a speaker to ensure the completion of the Effurun-Orerokpe-Eku dualisation project in his immediate constituency.
“I’m challenging Sheriff Oborevwori to a debate. I am using this opportunity to challenge Sheriff or Francis Oborevwori to a national television debate. You know the man (Sheriff) likes hiding behind people. He hides behind Governor Okowa and Esiso during campaigns. He should personally come out and tell Deltans what he plans to do for the people of the state.
“Now it’s the question I’m expecting they will ask me. Now as they haven’t asked Sheriff I want to ask Sheriff. As Sheriff is the Speaker of the House of Assembly, he’s the number three man in Delta State Government. I know what Okowa did for his people, and I knew that Okowa decided to establish three universities one day. He put one in his village in Owo-Alero, then he put one in Agbor, he set up another one in Asaba and then converted the Polytechnic in Ozoro into a University.
“Now our brother, our son, who’s the Speaker, couldn’t look Okowa in the eyes and say ‘Your Excellency, where is my people’s own?’ But Sheriff couldn’t ask Okowa ‘all these loans that we are approving, which one do you want to use in developing Okpe local government?’
“So, if you look around right now there is nothing in Okpe local government. The only thing that was supposed to come to Okpe is the Technical College and the project is abandoned. It is abandoned. Did Okpe people offend Okowa? Did Okpe people offend Sheriff?
“The only thing Okowa brought here is abandoned. Then meanwhile in the past seven and a half years, this state has received N4.2trn. With all that amount that has come to Delta state look at our road from Effurun to Orerokpe to Ovurie to Eku is supposed to be dualized. Is it not? N20b has been spent on that road, yet it is abandoned.
“So, we are going to ask questions and we want answers. In Orerokpe here, you have a stadium, is it completed? We are going to be seeking answers. We want Sheriff to explain to us since he’s boasting that he’s the longest-serving Speaker in Delta State. Then we will ask him what did he use his over six years of speakership to do for our people. What happened to our stadium? That bridge between Orerokpe and Agbarho, with all the money entering Delta State with Sheriff and Francis as Speaker what happened to that bridge?”, Omo-Agege queried.
Omo-Agege, however, promised to attend to the developmental needs of Okpe people as well as ensure that the now abandoned Orerokpe Stadium and the Effurun/Eku Road project was completed with him as governor.
Meanwhile, Omo-Agege on Monday made a triumphant entry into Aghalokpe, his paternal grandmother’s family home, where the elders and Kinsmen prayed for his victory at the poll.
Omo-Agege, who was received by the head of the Onokpayunu family of Ereke Quarter in Aghalokpe, said the visit was to prove to naysayers that he was a true son of Okpe Kingdom.
The current head of the Onokpayunu family, Pa. Akika Adotan, flanked by traditional palace chiefs of Okpe Kingdom including Chief ABC Esidje and
Chief Billy Agbinone reaffirmed that Omo-Agege is from the Onokpayunu family of Aghalokpe town.
Pa. Adotan, while praying for the actualisation of Omo-Agege and his deputy, Rt. Hon. Friday Osanebi’s governorship ambition, appealed to the people of the state to vote for their son, saying that he would bring unprecedented development to the state.
In his remark at the rally, Omo-Agege’s running mate, Rt. Hon. Osanebi told Okpe people to support and vote for all APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.
Osanebi, a former Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly, tackled Oborevwori for failing to use his position to attract projects that will better the lots of his people.
On his part, the former Chief of Staff to the Delta State Government and senior chief of Okpe Kingdom, Chief Paulinus Akpeki, said the people of Okpe were happy to have Omo-Agege, an Okpe son, running to become governor of the state.
He assured Omo-Agege that the people of Okpe Nation will overwhelmingly vote for Omo-Agege and other APC candidates in the forthcoming elections in the area.

More life lost in regency split violence
MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: Another man was killed in violence in South Sulawesi over the split of Polewali Mamasa (Polmas) into two regencies, Polewali and Mamasa, police and residents said on Wednesday.
Tuesday's killing of Abdul Hakim, 40, from Salurinduk village in Aralle subdistrict was blamed on supporters of the division, who allegedly attacked him in Kondo Rubak village.
His death brings the toll to three. Two others were killed on Monday, reportedly by those in support of the split.
Muhammad Zakir Akbar, secretary-general of the Communication Forum for Pitu Ulunna Salu people, who opposed the division of Polmas regency, said Hakim was beaten to death while on his way to Kondo Rubak to attend peace talks.
Salurinduk village head Makrupi, 35, who was with Hakim, managed to flee as hundreds of armed people attacked them, Zakir added.
Polmas Police deputy chief Comr. Samad Saleh confirmed Tuesday's incident, saying both Hakim and Makrupi had been invited for peace talks by supporters of the division following the deaths of Hamdi and Nurdin, also opponents of the division.

Overexpression of PTBP3, a factor involved in alternative splicing, may inhibit the differentiation of leukemia cells. However, its role in gastric cancer differentiation and the specific pathways involved are unclear. In this study, we found that PTBP3 was upregulated in the poorly differentiated gastric cancer tissues. Patients with high levels of PTBP3 expression had significantly shorter survival than those with low PTBP3 expression. In gastric cancer cells, the regulatory effect of PTBP3 on alternative splicing of the Id1 gene was investigated. Following sodium butyrate-induced differentiation of MKN45 cells, the expression of Id1a decreased, but the expression of Id1b increased. RNA interference and overexpression experiments showed that PTBP3 upregulated Id1a expression and downregulated Id1b expression. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays indicated PTBP3 could interact with Id1. UV cross-linking assays indicated that PTBP3 interacted with the CU rich region of the Id1 gene. Two-hybrid experiments and a gel mobility shift assays found that Id1b had a more potent affinity for Hes1 than Id1a. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays verified the association of Hes1 and the promoter of PTBP3 gene. Luciferase assays revealed that Hes1 bound the N-box sequence in the PTBP3 promoter. After silencing or overexpression of Hes1, PTBP3 protein expression remained unchanged. Thus, the loss of feedback regulation among PTBP3, Id1, and Hes1 in gastric cancer cells may be one of the causes of inhibited differentiation and malignant proliferation of these cells.
Keywords: Hes1; Id1; PTBP3; alternative splicing; gastric cancer.

Hi there Tom's Hardware Community! My name is Griffin, I am thirteen years old and at school I have decided to do a science fair project relating to technology.

I will under clock both items, leave them at default clock, and overclock them and run benchmarks with each. Anyway, I was wondering, how do you reccomend I do this? I have an i7-4770k with a H100i and a GTX Titan with sufficient air cooling. What benchmarks should I use? How long? What overclocking utilities? Any help would be appreciated! If you neeed any more info please ASK!

Former President Donald Trump’s MAGA rallies during the beginning of the Independence Day holiday are bringing Trump supporters out in massive numbers. Trump was in Philadelphia on Friday, before heading to South Carolina on Saturday.
Both Pennsylvania and South Carolina are key states in the upcoming 2024 election. Trump previously won Pennsylvania, and although he also carried South Carolina, two other Republicans are also campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination; former SC governor Nikki Haley and SC Senator Tim Scott.
This holiday weekend Trump seems to be touching base with grassroots voters while at the same time addressing key differences between himself and other Republicans campaigning for the 2024 nomination.
The Republican presidential candidate was in Philadelphia to attend the Moms for Liberty summit. While in town, he made a stop at Pat’s King of Steaks, a famous cheesesteak restaurant. Trump was met with a swarm of fans during his visit to the popular establishment. He took time to speak with some of his supporters, take pictures, and shake their hands, Daily Caller reports.
One Trump supporter, a black woman who was visibly excited to see him, posed next to him for a photo. After the photo, she turned around to Trump and expressed her excitement at seeing him, mentioning that her economic situation had improved during his presidency.
“My 401k misses you!” the woman shouted in a video shared across social media.
This woman in Philadelphia speaks for all of us.
“MY 401(k) misses you.”
— Byron Donalds (@ByronDonalds) June 30, 2023
As Trump spoke at the Moms for Liberty summit, he praised the grassroots organization for its advocacy of parents’ rights and reaffirmed the importance of their work, while dismissing its critics, who label it as a “hate” group. “You’re not a threat to America, you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to America,” Trump said, “You are joyful warriors, you are fierce, fierce patriots.”
During his speech, Trump outlined several policy positions, including his intention to ban transgender sex-change procedures for minors, a public school teacher tenure, and dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives across government entities.
Trump stated that in his next term as president, he will sign an executive order to cut federal funding for any school, “pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children.” He called for direct election, and the firing, of school principals by parents.
Trump also addressed the vast difference between his platform and the current administration, and the necessity to stop the Democrat’s initiatives before it is too late. He emphasized his belief that the Democratic Party, led by President Joe Biden, poses a threat to the country and urged his supporters to rally together to vote them out of office in the 2024 election, The Federalist noted.
“Joe Biden and the Democrats are the threat to America. And together, we’re going to throw them out of office on Election Day 2024.”
Republican hopeful Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also spoke at the Moms for Liberty rally, using less feisty rhetoric. The group Moms for Liberty was founded in Florida in 2021 to fight local COVID school mask mandates and quarantine requirements and has become a force in conservative politics. DeSantis praised the group for “coming under attack by the left” saying the attacks are a “sign that we are winning this fight.”
DeSantis ran through his efforts in Florida to ban discussions of race and sexual identity in classrooms as well as certain books proclaiming the same from school libraries. He praised the group as a political force, saying that the “mama bears” are “ready to roll.”
DeSantis pledged to “fight the woke” if he were to secure the nomination.
After speaking in Pennsylvania, Trump repeated his rhetoric concerning Democrats and the Biden family the next day at his MAGA rally in Pickens, SC. Opening Speaker Marjorie Taylor Greend (R-Ga.) gave details about congressional actions concerning current President Joe Biden and impeachment initiatives as well as reiterated the conservative congressional reactions to the attacks against former President Trump.
Trump went over points of those attacks and made left no question as to his innocence in the allegations, past and present. He also noted the Democratic corruption in the current administration and the state of the world political scene, saying that world war looms, and he is the man to stop that from happening.
Trump reiterated that a presidential win would not be his first, as the crowd in Pickens roared “Third!” Trump pointed out the existence of his relationships with the world leaders and the fact that he has a successful history in dealing with them, as well as the fiascos in world politics under the Democrats and Joe Biden’s administration.
In a call-in interview with the Pickens newspaper, the Pickens County Courier, Trump said, “These are the people I love. We’ll break some records. We’ll break them together.”
In Philadelphia, AP reported that roughly 200 LGBTQ+ activists protested the gathering, but in Pickens there were no reports of activists at the Trump rally.

Visiting Guernsey was one of the highlights during my recent cruise aboard the Sky Princess. I was so excited to visit this beautiful little island and get a taste of island life.
Guernsey was the first stop on my Sky Princess cruise. We departed from Southampton the previous afternoon and woke up on the sunny shores of Guernsey.
You can read more about my departure here: Cruising from the UK and boarding the Sky Princess in Southampton
Guernsey has a small port so we needed to take smaller tender boats from the ship to Albert Pier where we were welcomed with dazzling sunshine and a bustling Sunday market.
I instantly fell in love with Guernsey and I quickly knew that visiting Guernsey for a longer trip in the future was on my bucket list.
The small island was part of the Duchy of Normandy and is just 48km from France so it has this beautiful combination of French elegance combined with British charm.
Guernsey felt almost like being abroad but with the familiar comfort of home.
It has British seaside vibes, only a little prettier, a little warmer, bluer, clearer and just a little more exciting for this British travel blogger who loves to go abroad!
I quickly realised I could happily spend a long weekend on Guernsey but we had just 6-7 hours to visit Guernsey from a cruise ship, so every second counted!
How to get around Guernsey when visiting from a cruise ship
You have a couple of options when visiting Guernsey from a cruise ship:
- Book an organised excursion via the cruise
- Use the local bus service – which would be a great option but we visited on a Sunday when buses were limited. I recommend using Google Maps to navigate the local buses.
- Take a local tour
- Hire a bike (just be aware that the island is hilly and some roads are narrow)
- Take a taxi
- Take a tuk tuk! (more on that below)
The main concern when visiting Guernsey from a cruise ship is that you have to be back to the ship on time! If you’re late, the ship will go without you! So just bear that in mind and don’t go too far off the beaten path.
I was visiting with my friend, Jen, and we decided to hire a tuk tuk to see the nearby highlights.
Tuk tuks from Tuk Tuk Guernsey were waiting on Albert Pier when we got off the shuttle boat and we hopped straight in with our guide, Tim. The standard tour travels around St Peter Port but we also wanted to see The Little HCapel, so we asked to extend our tour to visit the chapel too.
This made the tour 1 hour and 45 minutes and cost £90 for both of us.
We were able to pay via card and the tuk tuk had a moveable roof and blankets in the back in case it got cold. Luckily, it was a beautiful day and we loved breezing around the streets of Guernsey with the roof down.
What to do in Guernsey
There are so many things to do in Guernsey. I’m going to begin by sharing what I did and add a couple of extra options at the end.
Guernsey’s Victorian Baths
We began by visiting La Valette, Gurney’s Victorican bathing pools. These historic swimming pools have been in use since 1865. They are submerged in the sea and they’re flushed out with fresh water twice a day at high tide.
The pools were recently renovated and a large cafe and changing rooms were added.
During our recent hot summer (summer 2022) the water in the pools even reached 20 degrees C, which might not seem a lot if you’re visiting from abroad but for us Brits that’s positively tropical!
Our second stop was Mignot Plateau where we enjoyed incredible views across St Peter Port and the harbour. This was a lovely place to begin and get our bearings and we could even see across to the nearby islands of Sark, Jersey and we could just about see France!
We whizzed past Victor Hugo’s house (who famously wrote Les Miserables during his 15 year stay on the island) before visiting Fermain Bay, which was not only a beautiful pebble beach but a stunning drive down a steep, tree-lined lane. You actually need a permit to drive down this steep hill so this was where the tuk tuk was a huge advantage!
This felt like a real hidden gem and a world away from St Peter Port.
The Little Chapel
The Little Chapel was our next stop and was my personal highlight when visiting Guernsey. I’d come across this tiny shrine when I read the novel, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. The chapel didn’t make it into the film adaptation of the book, which seems a shame because it’s such a dainty yet incredible masterpiece.
The Little Chapel is somewhere between a tiny church and a grotto. From a distance you could almost believe that it’s full size but it’s actually tiny!
Building of the chapel began in 1914 by Brother Déodat but this is actually the third version of the chapel. Brother Déodat built the first but it was criticised by his brother so he quickly knocked it down and started again. His second version of the chapel stood for a few years but Brother Déodat was mortified when the Bishop of Portsmouth came to visit and couldn’t fit through the door! Brother Déodat quickly knocked it down and began a new chapel with a bigger door, which is the finished chapel we see today.
It’s beautifully decorated using pretty pebbles and bits of broken china. During construction, Brother Déodat actually called for donations of broken china and he was inundated with boxes of China from all over the world.
The Little Chapel was a little out of the way but it was well worth making the extra effort to visit it.
Next up we drove through the beautiful Church Square which looked so pretty decorated with bunting and flags.
Our tuk tuk driver, Tim, pointed out a record breaking pub and church in the British Isles. Look out for this pub and church whose close proximity makes this the closest pub to a church in all of Britain! Keep your eyes peeled for the gargoyle at the top who ensures the two buildings are just inches apart.
Lunch at Octopus
We left our tuk tuk and strolled over to Octopus, a seaside restaurant just a short walk along the coast.
The setting for this restaurant is perfection and we enjoyed fish and chips with crisp glasses of rose.
While we were visiting Guernsey we were lucky enough that a large and bustling market was set up. One section was filled with local crafts while the second section was reserved for food, drink and local musicians. It was a brilliant opportunity to try some local foods and soak up the atmosphere.
We then had a walk along the coast before returning back to the ship but there are plenty of other things you can do when visiting Guernsey from a cruise ship.
What to do when visiting Guernsey from a cruise ship
That’s what I got up to when visiting Guernsey but if you have a little more time then here are some other great things to do in Guernsey.
Visit Guernsey’s beaches
There are lots of beautiful beaches on Guernsey. I hear Cobo Bay is one of the best!
Visit the neighbouring islands
It’s quick and easy to hop on a ferry to one of Guernsey’s neighbouring islands. Many people hop on over to Sark which is a 50 minute ferry ride away and is known for its white, sandy beaches. Sark is often considered to be the nicest of the Channel Islands and looks beautiful.
Visit (and climb) Victoria Tower
While we saw Victoria Tower from our tuk tuk tour, we didn’t have time to climb to the top.
This is where you’ll get the best views in the city but it’s also an unusual one because you have to collect the keys from the museum in Candie Gardens!
There are 99 steps to the top and you’ll enjoy incredible views over Guernsey.
Wander around Candie Gardens
The Victorian Candie Gardens are spectacular and they’re just a short walk from St Peter Port. The gardens were established in 1894 and they’re still free to enter today.
Visit the German Underground Hospital
The German Underground Hospital was the largest WW2 structure on the island. There are 75,000 square feet of tunnels and it’s a eerie and heartbreaking place to visit but a vital reminder of the German occupation on the island.

Hungarian Mannlicher 31.M Long Rifles and Rifles
|Modified/converted by Fémáru Fegyver és Gépgyár (FÉG), Budapest, 1931-1935|
New Caliber: 8x56mm rimmed (31.Minta)
Muzzle velocity 680-720 m/sec with 31.M cartridge
Integral clip-loaded box magazine, 5 rounds
Action: Straight-pull bolt action, with two lugs on a detachable bolt head engaging the receiver
1005mm [39.5"] overall, 3.15kg [6.93 lbs] (stutzen)
500mm [19.7"] barrel, 4-groove rifling, RH, concentric, 1 turn in 250mm
M1895 knife bayonet
|In 1931 the Hungarian Army (the Honvédség) adopted a rimmed 8x56mm cartridge to replace the old Austro-Hungarian 8x50mm design. The new round, known as
the 31.M cartridge (M.31 töltény) in Hungary, was initially used in modified 1890-type or 1895-type straight-pull Mannlicher rifles and carbines alike.
These were essentially similar to the Austro-Hungarian patterns, but received new back sights and new front-sight protectors. An 8-12mm high letter 'H' was
stamped on top of the chamber. H = Hegyes Töltény [pointed bullet].|
The original receiver and barrel shank markings of the old Model 1895 guns were retained. Most long rifles were rebarreled or were cut down to carbine (actually rifle or 'puska') length. The cut-down barreled rifles received a designation of 31/a.M. See muzzle pictures below for difference.
A small number of long M95's were also converted to the 31.M configuration, while retaining their long barrels, for the 'Testörség' [Govenmental Guards]. These rifles had chromed sling swivels, canvas slings instead of leather and had a butt-cover with the Guards Crest. These had special long bayonets.
A different style 'H'
|Note difference between the 31.M and the 31/a.M|
The left picture shows the 31.M with the front sight directly built onto the top of the barrel. The barrel is smooth, the narrow band is for the sight protector. The right picture shows the 31/a.M with the front sight mounted on a band slid onto the barrel. The wider band is for the sight, the narrow band is for the sight protector.
|Service life was brief, as the adoption of the 35.M rifle caused the conversion to be withdrawn into storage. Survivors were reissued for service in
1940. On the left, a Hungarian soldier with a 31.M on the Eastern Front during WW2.|

|Original 2400 Schritt rear sights were replaced with new leaf sights graduated to 2000 meters|
Four different Long Rifle Rear Sight Modifications for Stutzen/Carbine use:
1. Graduated to 2200m, Most Common Variant
2. Graduated to 2200m, Stutzen Slide
3. Graduated to 1800m, Sight face milled
4. Graduated to 1500m only
|Front sling swivels|
|31.M Buttstock marking K.Á.B. is the abbreviation of Központi Átvételi Bizottság (Central Acceptance Committe), 1932-1944|
According to an old document: "The duty KÁB is to officially inspect, accept and certify the quality and the quantity of military industrial and consumer goods obtained through domestic and foreign commerce, which results in legal authorization to the MNB [Magyar Nemzeti Bank] to satisfy the manufacturer."
Military Gendarmerie Guards Honvédség Csendörség Testörség Bayonet Weight .285 .415 .400 kg Full Length 362 560 534 mm Blade Length 248 456 430 mm Blade Width 23 26 26 mm Blade Thickness 5 13 15 mm
|A standard M1895-type knife bayonet was used by the Military, with an auxiliary front sight on top of the muzzle ring. This compensated for the change in point-of-impact caused by firing the Stutzen with the bayonet fixed. See below the photo of bayonet mounted with auxiliary front sight (courtesy of 'Goex fff' on Gunboards)|
|The Hungarian Gendarmerie (Csendörség) used the more intimidating 456mm [18"] blade-length bayonets. The Guards' 430mm [17"] blade bayonet was similar.|
Ammo Safety: the M95 rifles chambered for the 8x56mm cartridge are not recommended to be used with the old conical-nosed 8x50mm cartridge. Although both cartridges are rimmed, and headspaced at the rim, the 8x56mm is 6mm longer and more powerful. The spent 8x50 cartridge cases will be re-formed to the 8x56 shape. Many shooters used these 'exchanged' cartridges without any injury or damage, however these cartridges are not guaranteed to be safely interchangeable.

Michael Lombardi says the Green Bay Packers are shopping receiver Randall Cobb. Now Ian Rapoport says they are not.
Rapoport claims it’s the other way around. That teams have inquired about Cobb, but the Packers aren’t expected to trade him.
Saw this referenced on @ringer. It’s normal for teams to inquire about players entering the last year of their contract. I know of some that checked on Randall Cobb. But the #Packers are not shopping him & expect him contributing on their team. https://t.co/A489Swjael
It would make plenty of sense if the Packers were shopping Cobb. There would be a massive salary cap savings and it would allow them to keep one of the young receivers they would otherwise have to cut.
On the other hand, without Cobb, Davante Adams would be the only proven veteran on the roster.
And yes, after the Packers released Jordy Nelson this offseason, Aaron Rodgers would probably be pissed to see Cobb go. The guy did stand up in his wedding for god’s sake.
Cobb hasn’t approached his 2014 numbers in the three seasons since. However, that was a contract year and Cobb — like many guys coincidentally do — balled out. Cobb is again in a contract year, so maybe he’ll explode again this season.
Whether that happens or not, I now have a hard time seeing Cobb with the Packers after this season. The team has been taking a look at DeAngelo Yancey and Equanimeous St. Brown in Cobb’s traditional slot position this preseason. If he could get on the field, you’d have to think they’d take a look at Trevor Davis there, as well.
None of these guys have the resume of Cobb, but they were all draft picks and you would think the Packers would give them a chance to contribute at some point. And perhaps more importantly, they are all much, much cheaper than Cobb.
Don’t think that won’t play a factor.
For now, we will assume Randall Cobb is sticking around for at least the 2018 season. If that is the case, hopefully he stays healthy and earns himself another payday, whether in Green Bay or elsewhere.

These are visuals for two seasonal fashion campaigns created in 2009 and 2010 for a leading Croatian manufacturer of bags and leather goods, Guliver.
They were many years on a Croatian market but had never advertised. The task was to remind women
(20 something to 50 something) of their quality and affordable prices.
It is a mainstream brand and we wanted to really visualize everyday situations and with a rising of a
street-style- the Sartorialist movement, we thought it would've been just a right approach. And it was.
It is a very dear project to me on which I worked as an art and a creative director with a great team of prominent Croatian fashion creative professionals. See credits at the bottom.

A debut memoir from a woman who was adopted at birth that explores the issues of identity and family.
Stice was adopted by Kenneth and Mona Venda Kirchner in Detroit in 1943, and she was 4 years old when she was told that she wasn’t their biological daughter. The information was barely comprehensible to her as a child, but it planted a question in her mind that she would spend most of her life trying to solve: “Who am I?” When she was 5, she told her cousin Mona that she was adopted, and Mona replied: “It means your mama isn’t your real mama.” It was the first of several comments that made Stice feel she wasn’t an equal member of the family that she thought of as her own. Although she was an only child, her parents both came from large families, including brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, and many cousins, and so she felt connected to a wide, extended clan—until she didn’t. The most hurtful comment came from her father; a normal battle between parent and teenager turned especially nasty when the 14-year-old Stice was invited to a dance and her father refused to give her permission to go: “ ‘We have to be so careful with you,’ he says, ‘because we don’t know if you are going to turn out to be bad like your mother. Bad blood. It happens.’ ” In 2003, a few years after the death of her parents, Stice finally embarked on an earnest, and eventually successful, search for her biological family.
For financial reasons, the Kirchner family moved around frequently, and as a result, this narrative is enhanced by a great variety of backdrops, including Michigan, Kentucky, and Kansas; Stice and her beloved grandmother spent many summers visiting family members. Comparisons of city and suburban life versus farm life, as well as Northern versus Southern culture, form a portrait of mid-20th-century America. The young Stice emerges as a feisty child with a keen sense of justice. For instance, she was outraged when the family went to a segregated beach on Lake St. Claire, Michigan, and she mused: “A vague, uneasy feeling has come over me. I can’t name it, but it means, I don’t like being a Gentile if that’s the way we treat other people.” For the author, it was one more confirmation that she was somehow different. She reveals that at one family reunion, one of her cousins, Gerald, whispered to her: “Why do you like all those family stories so much? It’s not even your family.” This adoption story has an intriguing extra wrinkle, as her parents had actually met Stice’s birth mother but didn’t share that information due to a fear of divided loyalties. Many vignettes in this eloquent narrative could be those of any rebellious child growing up in midcentury America, but the author also layers her memoir with an ever present fear of rejection.
A painful, poignant, and ultimately triumphant story that will have special meaning for adoptees.

The Association against Impunity and for Transitional Justice (AITJ) calls for the immediate release of the journalist Basma Mostafa, and demands to open an investigation in order to determine whether this is another attempt to suppress the right to freedom of the press and to undermine the rule of law, already in a fragile condition.
Basma Mostafa, was traveling to Luxor to cover up the violence and clashes in the village of Awamiya between residents and security forces, following the killing of Awais al-Rawi by police forces on Wednesday, September 30. Cairo's State Security Prosecutor's Office decided Sunday to detain Basma Mustafa for 15 days, awaiting investigation, one day after her disappearance in Luxor. According to Al Manassa, the platform for which Basma works, the journalist is accused of "joining a terrorist group" and “spreading false news” which the State Security Prosecutor's Office did not clarified. Following the Egyptian law, these charges can reach the maximum prison sentence.
Before Basma, last month his colleague Islam Al-Kalhi, journalist of Darb's website, was arrested while covering the events of Al-Munib, and was referred to the Supreme State Security Prosecutor's Office, which decided to imprison him for 15 days pending investigation after he was accused of "spreading false news". Egypt is at 166th place of the world press freedom ranking published by Reporters Without Borders. These non-isolated episodes between Egyptian authorities and the press, highlight the limits in freedom of press in the country and the extent of impunity for the Egyptian authorities.
In recent years, Egypt has imprisoned dozens of reporters and occasionally expelled foreign journalists. In June, authorities raided al-Manassa’s offices in Cairo and briefly arrested its editor, Nora Younis, who was released pending investigation into charges of managing a news website without an operating license. Mostafa's arrest is the latest in a series of curbs placed by the government on independent media outlets.
AITJ calls the Egyptian government to respect fundamental human rights such as freedom of thought and opinion and guarantee democratic accountability and freedom of the press.

Inflation Hits State Revenues, Too
The Independent Fiscal Office and state Department of Revenue have released February 2022 revenue reports. State General Fund collections year-to-date exceed estimates by nearly $2.5 billion or 9.4%. The overage was primarily due to stronger-than-anticipated collections for the sales and use tax and personal income tax. Much of this is an extension of out-of-control inflation. PIT collections alone were 9.6% above estimate. February brought in $2.4 billion in General Fund revenues.
The Motor License Fund received $197 million in February, $24.8 million below estimate. As fuel prices rise, people seem to be consolidating trips and driving less. The fund includes liquid fuels taxes and other license, fine, and fee revenues. Motor License collections for the fiscal year-to-date total $1.8 billion, 2% above estimate.

Mumbai: Contrary to the belief that Sensex would continue its negative run on Monday after the political drama in Karnataka, markets today opened on a negative note but soon took a neutral stance amid mixed global cues. While Sensex opened 80 points lower in the morning, the 30-share Sensex was trading flat at the time of writing this article. The wider Nifty was trading at 10,600.5 in the morning or 0.03 per cent higher.
The BSE Sensex opened at 34,873.16 points, marking a marginal difference with previous day’s closing. It should be noted that the Sensex has touched a high of 34,973.95 points from the previous day’s close at 34,831.15 points.
According to reports, auto and pharma stocks began on a weak note. Stocks of Maruti Suzuki, Cipla and Sur Pharma were trading lower. Global cues also played a considerable effect on today’s operation. While Asian stocks recovered after US and China settled differences and shrugged off the possibility of a trade war, factors such as rising oil prices kept the market on a check.
Markets may face further weakness due to the resign global crude oil prices and a weakening rupee, which was at Rs 68.10 against the dollar. A weaker rupee combined with rising oil prices can further bring down company stock valuations as activities would take a major hit.
Top market experts have cautioned people about investing in the market, which may face another correction shortly. With increasing oil prices, several of India’s foreign portfolio investments have also shrunk, leading to another period of uncertainty in the financial markets.

A sun-burst through dark clouds
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; and they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined
Father, your glory breaks through into our lives in amazing ways. We stand looking out the window at a dark, overcast sky when, suddenly, the sun breaks through the clouds and sends a shaft of light onto the frosted branches of the trees. They glisten and sparkle as they reflect the light. The sinking sun shines against a distant pane of glass and we watch as the reds and oranges intensify then fade. The light overcomes the darkness. The beauty and the unexpectedness take our breath away.
When all around us is dying, when the trees stand gaunt and bare and the last of the frosted rosebuds falls from the stem, when the days are shortest and the nights unbearably long, remind us of those moments of wonder. Remind us that the days will lengthen, that the snowdrops are waiting to burst through the frozen ground. Remind us that with you behind us there is always hope for new life.

Concentration of land ownership in Scotland – call for evidence deadline
The deadline for submitting evidence on the impacts of concentration of land ownership in Scotland is fast approaching.
Scotland’s land reform body, the Scottish Land Commission, has been running a call for evidence on the impacts of the concentration of land ownership in Scotland. People have until 30 June 2018 to submit their examples and experience of issues associated with concentration of land ownership.
The purpose of the call for evidence is to help the Commission better understand the issues that people associate with concentrated land ownership from the perspective of those directly involved or affected including individuals, community groups, land owners and managers.
The Commission will use the information gathered to inform its consideration of the issues and how they can be best addressed. An interim report of findings will be published towards the end of 2018.
This work forms part of a wider review of the concentrated pattern of land ownership in Scotland and its potential impacts on the public interest. Speaking about the review, Chief Executive of the Land Commission, Hamish Trench said,
“The issue of scale and concentration in land ownership has been an underlying theme and driver of the land reform debate in Scotland for decades. We want to look beyond the headline statistics to understand what the underlying issues are and how they can best be addressed.
“There has been a good response to the call so far and we have received over 300 submissions already. We want to hear from people directly involved or affected by concentration of ownership and their examples and experience both positive and negative. The deadline for submissions is the 30 June and I would encourage anyone who has examples and experience to get in touch.”
Submissions made to the review will be treated in strict confidence.

Put meat, water, salt and washed pearl barley into a large soup pot. Bring to a boil very slowly, skimming as you go.
Meanwhile, dice vegetables and shred cabbage. Add to soup pot. Bring the soup back to a boil again. When boiling, immediately lower heat and simmer gently until the meat is cooked and the dried peas are tender - almost falling apart, about two hours. Add parsley and salt and pepper to taste.

Lovecraft’s writing, both creepy and cosmic, was not celebrated during his life (far from it -- he died of cancer in his native Rhode Island at age 46, a broken man hovering near poverty) but his ancient-evil concepts and complex mythologies have resonated mightily in recent decades with devotees as diverse as Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, Metallica, Jorge Luis Borges, Mike Mignola and Neil Gaiman.
Still, the author remains a vague brand name to most genre fans. That may change in the seasons to come. In March, Universal and Imagine Entertainment announced plans to adapt “The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft,” a graphic novel from Image Comics that weaves a supernatural tale into a fictionalized life story of the author. Brian Grazer is producing with Ron Howard, who may also direct, suggesting that he may have enjoyed his immersion into spooky antiquities with “The Da Vinci Code” and “Angels & Demons.”
Lovecraft has no bigger fan in Hollywood than director Guillermo del Toro, who proved adept at channeling Mignola’s Lovecraft-esque comic book creations -- shambling beasties, tentacled horrors and eons-old magical lore -- in his “Hellboy” films. Del Toro is now at work in New Zealand on pre-production for “The Hobbit” and its sequel, but he has made it clear that he hopes to tap into Lovecraft’s old magic after that with a film version of “At the Mountains of Magic,” about an expedition to the Antarctic that uncovers massive and ancient mysteries.
“I would love to do that film, it is my obsession,” Del Toro said. “To make a film of Love- craft at that scale, with that story, it would be very special for me. I would love to bring Lovecraft to the world in that way.”
-- Geoff Boucher

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts looking for a tiny Raspberry Pi Pico mini keyboard or keypad may be interested in the aptly named Micro Gherkin. The tiny keyboard offers a compact form factor in both the switches and the pi pico mini PC are surface mounted back to back. It’s creator explains more about the inspiration, design and construction of the Micro Gherkin.
“The 30 switches were selected from the jlcpcb.com SMT parts inventory. I had 5 boards made and assembled. The BOM is only 3 parts; switches, Pi Pico and the 3 tool marks (registration holes). JLCPCB supplies and SMT assembled the switches. When I placed the order the Pick and Place preview looked incorrect, but after the order was placed and reviewed the preview was corrected.”
“Four of the boards. Top, bare bottom, bottom with Pi Pico soldered on, and an assembled board with 4mm M2 spacers and screws. The board is running PRK firmware. PRK is very easy to use. It mounts the board as a USB drive so you can directly edit the configuration file with a text editor, much like KMK firmware/CircuitPython. I used the prk_pipigherkin configuration. The only change needed was to the pin definitions.”
“I had also made a top plate, but the switches are so short that they don’t protrude at all and can’t be pressed. Also, in 2 of the 5 boards the switches were not aligned well enough to fit the top over them. LCSC.com has variations of this switch with different heights and weights, but JLCPCB only had the 2mm tall/250g version available for assembly. This is too small (64x26mm) for a practical keyboard, but it makes a decent, very compact macropad. Assembled with 4mm spacers it is only 9mm thick. “

I am growing extremely weary of the "event" - I've been thinking about this the last few days and I was blaming Apple. There is no longer any nice surprises in Google Reader because Apple has convinced Microsoft, Google and everyone else that everything... must... be... an... EVENT! There must be build-up, there must be secrecy, there must be a vague announcement, a slogan, an excited(?) crowd of journalists. Banners. Lights. A celebrity to the fans. But beyond Steve Jobs (and they're sure trying with Jon Ives), who is there? Ballmer's an angry sasquatch, Google lets everyone be a celebrity, meaning no one will stand out.
So everything has this build-up, and then immediately, the letdown. It's too expensive. There's no camera? Still? Three versions in? It looks like a turtle. It looks cool but no one will ever use it because they won't understand it. Umm... seen it before when it was called Twitter.
Even Apple has moved beyond that, going so far as "lose" a prototype of a new phone they're not even ready to admit exists. Just like that, publicity out of thin air.
I understand queuing up late on a Friday night to see a brand new movie with the experience of being in the crowd where you're all experiencing something together. I've done that. Lord of the Ring movies, Austin Powers movies, Harry Potter movies.
I suppose for a true fan (gullible and rich with little else to brag about) you might want to stand in line with others to be the first to hold the new precious electronic device. I have not done this. I'm in the wrong stage of life. Newerly married with children, there's no money for frivolous toys. Especially from a company that has a habit of making its own products obsolete in one or two years, sticking it to its early adopters.
And I can understand getting in line for tickets because they are a commodity and you need first-mover advantage to get better seats. (Yeah, there's the internet and phone but as long as Ticketmaster has a monopoly on ticket sales, the physical line may still rule out.) This, also, I have not done. But we have stopped later in the day at an out of the way seller and were able to buy hot tickets without needing to wait in any lines.
And I can even understanding wanting to get a new book the day it comes out. I did attend a nice party at a bookstore at downtown Disney. They served treats and some people even dressed up, including people we went with. No lightning scar on my forehead, thankyouverymuch. But it was at a more reasonable time, 9 pm. When the next book came out a midnight, I stayed home, Lori ran out on her own for that one. But even then, she didn't have work the next day, so she was able to stay up late reading.
But tonight (I think) a lot of stores selling DVDs like Target and Best Buy and Fred Meyer are all opening their stores at midnight so that people can buy Avatar. Really? It's a really long movie, it wasn't that good and it's a school night. I am really hoping that it proves to be wrong and the crowds to not materialize.
I went and saw Avatar in 3D. It was a birthday present to myself, and I went by myself. Lori had no interest in the movie and I didn't blame her. For me, I just wanted to see what the hype was, most specifically, the CGI. It was a case of lots of coolness wherein the sum of the parts was far less cool than the pieces. I was impressed by the sliding see-through screens in the cockpit of the transport, I was impressed by the screens in the science center. I was impressed by the giant 3D scrolling map table. I was impressed by the flora and fauna of the jungle, especially at night when everything was bio-luminescent. I was impressed by the floating mountains.
I was not impressed by the blue characters, the flying characters or the six-legged horses. I was not impressed by some of the war machines. I was not impressed by the acting or the story. I wasn't impressed by the eco-terrorism message or the anti-war message or the gaia/mother-earth hippie peacenik message. And, Mr. Cameron, you lost me at "unobtanium." *sigh* And I was very unimpressed with the ending. As much as they wanted a happy ending, you do not defeat the security force of a giant universe-wide corporation with very deep pockets and send them off with their tail between their legs and think that's the end of it. If Iraq and Afghanistan have taught us nothing, the Navi should know that the corporation will only return with more firepower and be less concerned about killing for their cause.
So, here's to hoping that everyone who turns the lights on and pays the staff to show up will lose money tonight selling only a few copies of this movie.
I'll probably eventually get a copy, when it's in the bargain bin and I want to remember what passed for great CGI back in 2010.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is going up against the Mississippi Department of Health and Human Services for an Abstinence Summit that was held using government funding. Amplified has a video about the summit, from Huffington Post:
The ACLU is arguing that the use of tax dollar funds is a misappropriation, and violates separation between church and state.
My favorite quote from the event?
“Stop, don’t touch me there — this is my no, no square,” said one cheer by the Grenada High School cheerleaders. It wasn’t about school spirit.

Fresh from celebrating signing a new global deal with EMI Records, N-Dubz drop their latest single “February”.
Written by the band themselves along with Junior Edwards, and Lewis Rawson, the emotionally charged track (produced by group member Fazer) serves as the trio’s first new music of 2023, and tells the tale of a romantic relationship gone wrong.
Whilst boasting the same conversational lyrics, and trademark back and forth storytelling that first made them stars in the early 2000’s, the single’s dizzying production successfully manages to put a fresh contemporary twist on the classic, instantly recognisable N-Dubz sound – it’s clever mix of staccato rhythms, and 2-step style beat sequences fusing together to create an irrepressible, edgy R&B/pop bop befitting of the groups stellar back catalogue.
Watch the official music video for “February” directed by Reece Selvadorai below:
Cementing their position as one of the UK’s biggest music acts, Tulisa, Dappy and Fazer reformed in 2022 to embark on a massive sold-out arena tour!
Selling over 250k tickets, and visiting 27 arenas, the mammoth tour saw the band play four sold out nights at London’s O2 Arena and repeatedly set social media alight with fans beside themselves at having the opportunity to see their idols perform live for the first time in 11 years.

Songwriter, musician, and producer Mac McAnally reminisces about his career and performs some of his hits on September 9, 2017, as part of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s Nashville Cats interview series, hosted by fellow musician and recording artist Bill Lloyd.
A native of Belmont, Mississippi, McAnally talks about learning to play piano and guitar at a young age, eventually performing in clubs and working as a Muscle Shoals, Alabama, studio musician as a teenager. McAnally labels himself as “bashful” and recalls how he unintentionally got his start as a recording artist, releasing his first song “It’s a Crazy World,” at twenty.
A Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member, McAnally explains his writing and co-writing process and reflects on his successes, including #1 songs “Down the Road” (recorded by Kenny Chesney), “License to Chill” (Jimmy Buffett), “Old Flame” (Alabama), and “Thank God For You” (Sawyer Brown).
As a producer (for artists including Buffett and Sawyer Brown), McAnally says he aims to allow the music to speak for itself, and fondly remembers working with Jesse Winchester on his album “A Reasonable Amount of Trouble,” which was released posthumously.
A highly sought-after studio musician, McAnally also recounts some of his recording experiences, with artists including Keith Whitley. He says the recording of Whitley’s “Don’t Close Your Eyes” album was one of the best weeks of his life. He also talks about being a sideman in Buffett’s band, the Coral Reefers, for over twenty years.
McAnally describes his 2017 album, “Southbound,” as a career retrospective, and performs “Down the Road” and “This Time” (recorded by Sawyer Brown), and expresses thanks to those who have supported him with “On Account of You.” McAnally exhibits his expert guitar picking with a cover of the Allman Brothers song “Little Martha” to close the program.

Lady Gaga, Joseph Gordon-Levitt Sing ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’
Lady Gaga didn’t just share the stage with Muppets during her ABC Thanksgiving special.
Both Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Elton John made appearances on the holiday spectacular, although it was her performance with the Don Jon actor that was particularly memorable.
The two came together for the winter classic, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” but they tweaked it a bit with Gaga — clad in a long red gown — singing the part of the duet typically handled by the male voice.
Gaga also put on quite a show with Elton when the two performed her new song, “ARTPOP,” as well as his classic, “Bennie and the Jets” … which they changed to “Gaga and the Jets.”
