Liberal MP facing assault charges 'stepping back' from caucus
Marwan Tabbara issued statement late Friday afternoon
The Liberal MP for Kitchener South-Hespeler, Marwan Tabbara, said Friday he will "step back" from the Liberal caucus as he faces charges of assault, break and enter and criminal harassment.
The charges are related to an incident that happened April 10 this year, Guelph Police confirmed.
In the statement, Tabbara acknowledged that he is facing criminal charges and said there are "mandatory steps" that must be taken to address a criminal case. He said those steps take time and that he plans to step back in the interim.
"Meanwhile, I continue to receive counselling and treatment for anxiety and depression, which I have been living with for some time," Tabarra said in the statement.
"Other than to state unequivocally that every incident of violence is unacceptable and inexcusable, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further while this matter is before the court."
Tabbara said he still plans to work on behalf of his constituents and to help them access federal benefits and services.
Sources in the Liberal Party confirmed to CBC they were aware of the allegations against the MP. The Prime Minister's Office said it is looking into the matter.
In a statement on Twitter Friday, MP Mark Holland, the Liberal caucus whip, said the party is taking the situation "very seriously."
On the statement issued earlier today by Mr. Tabbara, the Liberal Party takes this issue very seriously. Mr. Tabbara has confirmed that he will be stepping away from the Liberal Caucus.—@markhollandlib
Tabbara is scheduled to appear in court June 19 at 9 a.m., police say.
A publication ban on evidence and proceedings has been imposed by the court.
Tabbara, who previously worked for Frito Lay, was first elected in 2015 and re-elected in 2019.
On Friday, Tabbara's office in a south Kitchener commercial plaza was darkened and empty.
Read the full statement
MP Marwan Tabbara released this statement Friday afternoon:
As a proud Canadian who came to this country with his family to escape the violence of war, I deplore violence in all its forms.
In addition to my work and my commitment to human rights in Canada and abroad, I personally believe strongly in the right of every individual to live a life free of the hurt and trauma of physical, verbal or emotional abuse.
I am currently facing criminal charges which arose in April.
There are mandatory steps that must be taken to address a criminal case, and those steps take time, particularly with delays due to the pandemic.
Meanwhile, I continue to receive counselling and treatment for anxiety and depression, which I have been living with for some time.
Other than to state unequivocally that every incident of violence is unacceptable and inexcusable, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further while this matter is before the court.
In the interim, I will be stepping back from the Liberal caucus.
Meanwhile, I will continue to work diligently for my constituents, as their Member of Parliament, assisting them in accessing services and benefits to which they are entitled from their federal government.

Family Planning and HIV: New Evidence That Integration Works
This post originally appeared on The Huffington Post here. Reposted with permission.
By Ward Cates and Rose Wilcher, FHI 360
An AIDS-free generation. Eliminating pediatric HIV infections and keeping mothers alive. Providing 120 million more women with more convenient choices of effective contraceptives to avoid unintended pregnancies.
At this week’s International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP), we are examining the latest evidence on integrating family planning and HIV service delivery. It shows that stronger linkages between family planning and HIV programs are critical to helping us realize these ambitious goals for global health.
A small but growing number of HIV prevention, care and treatment programs offer women a range of contraceptives, along with counseling about family planning and safe pregnancy. The aim of these programs is to save lives by supporting the fertility choices of women living with HIV.
For women with HIV who want to have children, preconception planning, good prenatal care and emergency obstetric care are crucial to ensure safe pregnancies and healthy outcomes. Closely spaced pregnancies are more likely to lead to adverse outcomes — such as low birth weight, premature birth, infant death and maternal death — and HIV infection compounds that risk. Compared to HIV-negative women, women living with HIV are almost twice as likely to die in childbirth.
For women with HIV who do not want to have children, access to effective contraception offers the added benefit of preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV. About two-thirds of HIV-positive women report that their most recent pregnancy was unintended. At the same time, studies have found relatively low levels of contraceptive use among HIV-positive women who say that they do not want more children. This unmet need for family planning must be addressed if we are to achieve the goal of eliminating pediatric HIV infections.
New evidence shows promise
Four years ago, a systematic review of interventions linking family planning and HIV services found only four studies published from 1990 to 2007 that reported contraceptive use as an outcome; just one of them demonstrated a significant increase in contraceptive use among clients of HIV services.
The results of a new FHI 360 review are far more promising.
The review revealed that there is growing evidence on the benefits of integrating family planning into HIV services. Out of 12 studies published from 2008 to 2013, eight documented significant gains in contraceptive use by clients of HIV services, and three reported increases in successful referrals from HIV services to family planning clinics.
The review also pointed to weaknesses in the implementation of integrated services. The services provided at public-sector facilities had modest effects compared to those offered within clinical trials. Process evaluations of some programs showed that they had not been implemented as intended.
Published in a special supplement on family planning and HIV to the journal AIDS, these findings highlight the need to strengthen health systems to remove barriers to effective integration. Investments in implementation research are also needed to guide efforts to improve the reach and impact of integrated services.
In addition to articles about the integration of family planning and HIV services, the supplement contributes new evidence to a variety of ways in which the two fields intersect. For example, two articles examine the complexities of the inconclusive findings on injectable contraception and the risk of HIV acquisition. One article addresses preconception care for women and couples living with HIV, and another articulates the U.S. government’s policy commitments to strengthening the linkages between family planning and HIV programs.
Some of the cutting-edge research and evidence-based recommendations that were published in the supplement are being presented during an ICFP panel discussion on November 13. This new evidence can help us advance the science and practice of family planning and HIV integration to meet the reproductive health needs of women living with HIV and move closer to an AIDS-free generation.

The beautiful piece designed by Freeman Design, based in New Zealand was part of its first magical proposal! The Golden Snitch ring box made out of Sterling Silver has an and coated with 18ct Yellow Gold and the wings are plated in an extra thick coating of Rhodium.
In a recent HuffPost article – Uriel Palma an infantryman in the U.S Army decided to propose to his girlfriend, Trechsel Hall a huge Harry Potter fan.

Palma proposed to Hall with the snitch at the beginning of a trip to Japan.
“She couldn’t figure out how to open it,” he told HuffPost. When they arrived at the rooftop of a restaurant in Tokyo a week later, he presented her with the Nimbus charm that unlocks the snitch and proposed. She said yes.“Her smile will be engraved in my memories forever,” said Palma, who currently lives in Germany.

Cryptocurrency has become all the rage in recent years despite it only being established for a short amount of time. Investments and trades in cryptocurrency can be carried out with a simple click of a button online and from the comfort of your home to make big gains (if you can bear the risks!), so it’s no surprise why it’s fast become popular amongst the general population. However, for those who are inexperienced, it can be a little overwhelming to navigate and there are risks of serious fraud! So, how exactly can you invest your cryptocurrency in a safe and secure manner? Let’s find out.
Things to know before investing
Before we dive into the volatile world of cryptocurrency investments, there are certain things to consider before exchanging your hard earned money for digital tokens.
Firstly, as we’ve already covered, the cryptocurrency market is ever changing, so it is constantly fluctuating – for example, Bitcoin, one of the main forms of cryptocurrency, has dropped 30% in one week and skyrocketed to records high the following week! Therefore, there is no guarantee on any stability or returns.
Also any holdings you have in cryptocurrency are not currently insured by the FSCS (UK) or FDIC (US), so if your investments go bankrupt, are hacked or the service you use closes down, there’s pretty much no way to get it back!
Finally, cryptocurrency is a taxable form of income, so if you’ve started to gain from your investments, be sure to declare it to the relevant departments depending on where you reside, so that you are not served with legal notices for fines or imprisonment!
What do you need to invest
To begin your journey into cryptocurrency investments, nearly all digital platforms will require one or more of the following documents:
- Personal identification documents
- Bank account information
- Secure internet connection
Yes, that’s really it!
How to invest
Now, onto the exciting part – be aware things might get a little detailed here! In simple terms, you need a place to purchase cryptocurrency to begin investing and a place to store it securely. Most individuals purchase cryptocurrency from exchanges, such as Coinbase, GDAx and Bitfinex, via their debit or credit cards. However, keep in mind that exchanges usually charge a fee on transactions.
If you want to avoid transactional fees, you can purchase cryptocurrency directly from users who are looking to sell their assets, such as via LocalBitcoins. However, this process can be quite lengthy and there is no way to guarantee the validity of the cryptocurrency being sold. Therefore, as a new investor, it’s best to use exchanges.
There are also many other ways to invest in crypto, such as crypto exchange or broker stocks as well as Blockchain EFTs. Furthermore, there are various ways to “earn” cryptocurrency for free either through learning or mining – so be sure to educate yourself on all the options available to you!
Tips to store your cryptocurrency safely
Once you’ve made your cryptocurrency purchases, your digital assets will be placed into a software wallet – you’ll automatically receive one when you create an account with an exchange. If you’re more serious about your investments, you may also consider purchasing a hardware wallet; this is a physical device to securely store your cryptocurrency and it’s more secure than a software wallet.
On a final note
Investing in cryptocurrency can be very rewarding once you make substantial gains. However, there are many risks associated with it. Therefore, it’s essential to thoroughly consider all your options and make a choice depending on your financial situation.
Until next time.

James Charles Dickinson, called James Charles, is an American Internet personality famous for his amazing work as a makeup artist, beauty YouTuber, fashion icon and lately, his singing prowess. Born on the 23rd of May, 1999 in Bethlehem, New York, he has achieved quite a lot for someone who is only 20 years old.
In this post, I’ll be sharing noteworthy things you probably didn’t know previously about James Charles.
Don’t forget to read about Jackie Aina, another beauty sensation.
1. James is the first male ambassador of what, typically, is seen as a female magazine, CoverGirl.
2. James currently has 16.2 million subscribers on his YouTube with over 1.7 billion views. He is worth 12 million US dollars.
3. James Charles, although having many controversies throughout his career, seems to be a person who is a respecter of human emotions, choices, decisions, and beliefs especially as someone with a lifestyle yet to be generally accepted by the general public. He portrays this respect by being quick to apologize once he says anything that people find offensive in the slightest which kind of puts these controversies in his favor later on.
3. James, as mentioned earlier, has a lifestyle yet to be accepted by the general public not just because he’s male and dabbling into things usually termed ‘girly’ but also because he’s openly gay. Of his near 16 million Instagram followers, a number of them follow him in order to jump at leaving a lot of what could be termed ‘hate’ on his page. Although openly gay and even proud of it, James has said he might not be entirely gay because there’s a number of women he has found incredibly attractive in his lifetime.
4. 16.2 million YouTube subscribers, 1.7 billion views, and nearly 16 million followers on Instagram, James Charles has amassed quite a fan base who are referred to and refer to themselves as ‘sisters’. It’s no surprise that James’ clothing line is also named after them. Yes! A clothing line. So in case you were wondering who owns ‘Sisters Apparel’ clothing line, its James Charles. What next? Makeup? Well if it’s that, I look forward it. *giggles*
5. James is close friends, and, even partners with other celebrities like Nikita Dragon, with whom he shares quite a number of things in common. Both he and Nikita are members of the LGBTQ+ community and both have similar style.
6. Another celebrity James can be said to be close to is Faouzia. She is a music artist known and loved for her incredible voice. She and James are seen singing together in a video which is a cover of a song and is wonderfully chummy at the end. It’s all smilees in that video and in a caption, Faouzia expresses her love for the sisters.
James is a fast-rising star with most of his notable moments on the Internet but also offline – for instance, at the MET gala when he stuns people with his look. His ability to slay both online and offline is proof that James is one to be watched but in the meantime, that’s everything you need to know about one of my My Top 10 Favourite Beauty Influencers 2019, James Charles!

For some University of Colorado Boulder undergraduates, designing, building and flying small satellites is becoming a large part of their hands-on education.
NASA recently selected CU-Boulder as one of 24 institutions or organizations to fly tiny satellites as auxiliary payloads aboard rockets planned for launch in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The selections are part of NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative, an effort that began in 2010 and involves students at institutions like CU-Boulder developing and flying CubeSat satellites, which are about the size of a loaf of bread, have a volume of about a quart and generally weigh less than 3 pounds.
From 2010 to 2013 CU-Boulder was awarded five launch opportunities for CubeSats by NASA, the most of any university in the nation. Each launch is worth the equivalent of roughly $300,000, the going rate for commercial space payloads of that size and weight, said aerospace engineering Professor Scott Palo, whose team was selected by NASA in 2013 to design and build a flight-ready CubeSat satellite.
The CU CubeSat, known as the High Latitude Ionospheric Thermospheric Experiment, or HiLITE, is a collaboration between the aerospace department and two small Boulder-based companies, Blue Canyon Technologies and ASTRA, which are supported in part by the U.S. Air Force to help develop CubeSat hardware, said Palo.
HiLITE will be designed and built using aspects of the design and architecture of an existing small satellite known as CubeSat for Atmospheric Studies in Orbit and Re-entry, or CASTOR. The CubeSat was developed as a senior design project in 2011-12 by eight students in CU’s College of Engineering and Applied Science.
John Stark, CASTOR team member and a Denver native who plans to stay on campus for his master’s and doctoral degrees in engineering, said he felt fortunate to work with a high-caliber research group. “I can’t imagine getting a better education anywhere else -- the faculty here are dedicated to seeing that the students succeed,” he said. “Ideally I’d like to keep working with small satellites -- they are going to be a game changer for the industry in the coming years.”

Influence of the diameter of CaCO3 particles on the mechanical and rheological properties of PVC composites
- 370 Downloads
PVC composites filled with CaCO3 particles with different diameter (about 40, 80, 500, 25000 nm) were prepared by using a single-screw extruder. The mechanical and rheological properties of the composites were investigated. The results showed that while the diameter of CaCO3 nanoparticles was smaller, the mechanical properties of composites were higher. By adding 40-nm CaCO3 nanoparticles into the PVC matrix, the single-notched impact strength of the nanocomposite at room temperature reached 82.4 kJ/m2, which was 3.5 times that of the PVC matrix without CaCO3 (23.3 kJ/m2) and 4.6 times that of the PVC blend filled with micro-CaCO3 (17.9 kJ/m2). The tensile and flexural properties of nanocomposites were also prior to those of the composites with 500-nm and 25-μm CaCO3 particles. The CaCO3 particles could make the rheological property of PVC composites worse. Moreover, the effect of mass ratio of nano-CaCO3 and micro-CaCO3 on the properties of PVC door and window profile in industry was studied. When the mass ratio was 2.5/9, the profile could obtain good mechanical properties.

Today, 30th December 2016, is the fourth anniversary of 24 year old Kyle Vaughan from Newbridge going missing.
Kyle left home for the evening on 30th December 2012 and never returned. His car, a silver Peugeot 306, was found having been involved in a collision on the A467 between Risca and Crosskeys. A police missing person inquiry was launched, and soon developed into a murder inquiry. To this day Kyle has never been found.
Detective Chief Inspector Nikki Brain is leading the enquiry:
“Four years on and the investigation to find out what exactly happened to Kyle that night remains ongoing. From day one my team has been committed to supporting Kyle’s family throughout this very difficult time, and we remain focused on solving this case and providing some much needed answers to them.
“I would, once again, urge the local community to think back to that night and if you have any information at all that you think could assist, please get in touch with us, no matter how small or insignificant you think it may be. If you want to speak with us confidentially/ anonymously that can be arranged.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Gwent Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The Audi RS4 was originally introduced in 2000 as a European only avant model powered by a biturbo 2.7 Liter V6 with a pair of upgraded turbochargers and flared arches. The power plant produced 375 HP and 325 lb-ft of torque and would rocket from 0 to 60 MPH in only 4.9 seconds on its way to a 155 MPH top speed. In 2005 the A4 was redesigned once again and with it came a 4.2 Liter FSI V8 that made 420 HP with 0 to 60 MPH times falling around 4.0 seconds flat.
The Audi RS4 is offered for the first time in three different body versions. No matter if a sedan, station wagon or convertible, the RS4 offers new dimensions in driving dynamics by combining innovative ideas. The exciting looks of all three versions and exquisite level of equipment that stands up to for the uppermost opulence standards make the RS4 line-up, the latest high-performance products from quattro (Audi’s sports division) to stand among the most desirable vehicles on the market.
From this summer, Audi will for the first time be offering additional versions of the RS 4. Following the successful market launch of the saloon at the end of last year, the Avant and Cabriolet versions will be appearing at dealers from the summer. This will round off the RS 4 family. This highly emotionally charged, high-performance product from quattro GmbH unites the characteristics of a sports car with supreme everyday qualities. This is as true of the saloon version as it is of the Wagon and the four-seater Convertible.

Eliminate a Tension Headache Naturally
A tension headache can be a real pain that affects millions of adults every year.
Perhaps after a long day at work, or the weekly build-up of stress, or a one-off incident....
...but you can feel the muscle tension in your upper back, neck, and head increasing.
You've had tension headaches before and you know that this excess muscle tension leads to headaches.
....if only I could somehow relax my muscles!
The pain of this type of headache (also known as a stress headache) can really put a dampener on your day!
International studies estimate that 36% of males and 42% of females suffer from stress headaches at one time or another.
So stress headaches are big business!
But there are a number of triggers that can cause your stress headache which include stress and anxiety, fatigue, and poor posture.
Here we provide you with five ways that you can reduce these types of headaches by proactively reducing stress, anxiety, fatigue, and poor posture.
Five natural ways to eliminate tension headaches
1. Exercise to stop a headache before it begins.
As the saying goes "it is better to have a fence at the top of the cliff than an ambulance at the bottom!"
Exercise is a great way to ward off a stress headache before it even begins.
Exercise reduces stress and is a great way to use-up the excess muscle tension that is a symptom of stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety can increase the incidence and pain of tension headaches in a number of ways. Some of these include:
A regular brief walk that gets your heart rate up for 20 minutes of more is a good form of exercise.
Aerobic exercise such as running, swimming, or cycling are also extremely good for relaxation and stress reduction, however, please see your local medical professional if this is the first time you have exercised in a while or are very overweight.
Exercise reduces stress and is an excellent preventative measure to reduce the incidence of tension headaches.
2. Practice relaxation techniques.
After a heavy day at the office or university I have often had people come to my relaxation courses with a tension headache only to leave one hour later feeling refreshed with no signs of symptoms of a tension headache.
This is because relaxation activates the relaxation response and reduces muscle tension...both things that reduce the impact and incidence of a stress headache.
There are a number of relaxation techniques that you can use to reduce stress and physical tension. Some common relaxation exercises that you could use are:
3. Review your posture.
Muscular tension not only arises due to a stress but also because of poor muscular-skeletal tension.
See a physiotherapist if you think this is a reason for your stress headaches.
4. Get enough rest.
Fatigue and stress are tiggers for stress headaches. The problem is that stress can mean you don't get enough sleep...and this can put you on a vicious cycle of stress...lack of sleep....more stress....
Sleep allows your body to rest and recuperate!
If you have trouble sleeping try to get yourself into a sleep routine before going to bed.
The tryptophan in a glass of milk before bed time can also be beneficial.
These natural sleep aids help you to get a better nights sleep!
5. Massage your temples.
As soon as you feel a stress headache coming use your index fingers to massage your temples.
Rub your temple region in a circular fashion for about 10 seconds and then press your fingers and hold for about 5 seconds before releasing.
Repeat this process.

Streamline Tower is a $200 million high-rise condominium project. The contractor is Martin-Harris Construction. The architect is PGAL. The Owner's Representative is Rider Levett Bucknall. Streamline Tower is located at 150 Las Vegas Boulevard. It will have 12,000 square feet (1,100 m2) of mixed-use retail on the main floor and 275 residences. Typically residences are priced from the low-$400,000s to more than $1.4 million and residence sizes range from 800 square feet (74 m2) up to 2,000 square feet (200 m2).
The tower opened May 1, 2008, but has had trouble trying to sell its units. Now Streamline Tower is facing a federal lawsuit from 48 buyers who claim the condos they purchased are smaller than advertised, and that Streamline falsely promised that buyers could make money by placing their units in an “executive leasing program” to be rented out like hotel rooms.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Smyth, before we come to you, I understand we have further work experience students in the Assembly at the moment, particularly from Mr Coe’s office. I also welcome to the Assembly Kuk-Jin Kim from Emmaus Christian school. We are happy to have you with us.
MR SMYTH (Brindabella): Mr Speaker, I seek leave under standing order 46 to make a personal explanation.
MR SPEAKER: Yes, Mr Smyth.
MR SMYTH: Thank you, Mr Speaker. Last night in the debate on the budget Mr Hargreaves was speaking about the Gungahlin Drive extension and said that the previous government had promised only a road from the Barton Highway through to Belconnen Way and that it was a goat track. He is incorrect. If you go to page 134, budget paper 3 2001-02, there is money in that budget for the Gungahlin Drive extension, for the Caswell Drive duplication and for the Glenloch interchange. I would ask the member to withdraw.
Mr Hargreaves: How much?
MR SMYTH: How much? It was $32 million, $6 million and $15 million against the three projects. I would ask the member to withdraw and apologise for misleading the Assembly.
Mr Hargreaves: I indicated in the speech that the Liberal Party actually allocated $32 million and I thank Mr Smyth for verifying that.
MR SMYTH: That is not a withdrawal, Mr Speaker. He is wrong and he should withdraw. You talk about raising the standard here in this place. This is an opportunity to do so. I would ask that he withdraw the incorrect information and apologise.
MR SPEAKER: Mr Hargreaves has given his indication of what he intends to do. We will now move on.

The mysterious world of transformations
Hardly anyone remembers that Magdalena Abakanowicz’s road to avant-garde pieces began with a fascination with nature. Growing up in provincial Falenty near Warsaw, she spent time all alone watching nature, the mysterious world of transformations and the biological powers which appealed to all her senses. She formed objects assigning meanings, telling stories, staging performances and performing rites. She was fascinated with the multitude of organic structures that surrendered to her will. This interest in nature and biologism dominated in her future artistic endeavors and prompted her to shift between forms. Abakanowicz’s art in the very beginning of her way was fulfilled by beautiful and semi-realistic forms of
flowers, and fantastic animals that showed an ideal world of nature. However, even later she did not cease to use biological inspirations in her activity. Very deeply processed into abstractive forms, nature is still a key to understanding the artist. Even Abakans, one of her most recognizable pieces, were partly the illustration of nature. In time Abakanowicz focused her attention on the human, but her admiration to a powerful and ideal world of nature was still present in her art. The most impressive form of her imagination is the design of a whole residential area in Paris which was the expression of Abakanowicz’s vision of a forest where people can live in relation to nature, the idea of Arboreal Architecture.
Marta Kowalewska is an art historian and critic, curator, Chief Curator of the Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź. Curator of the16th International Tapestry Triennial and exhibitions, among others: Metamorphism, Rebellion of the Matter, Christian Dior and the Icons of Parisian Fashion, co-curator of the exhibition: Textile Art of Łódź Professors.

The federal election is our chance to stand with children in Canada and around the world. Will you stand with us?
Too many children and youth in Canada live in poverty, without access to enough nutritious food or protection from violence. Many young people struggle with mental health challenges and difficult lives – and yet, politicians are not accountable to our most vulnerable citizens.
Too many children around the world are increasingly in harm’s way, being left behind, and losing out on a childhood.
The federal election is our chance to stand with children everywhere and make sure that our leaders prioritize them – including prioritizing the health and safety of Canada’s 8 million children.

Area antique tractor collectors
to exhibit their prized possessions
Longtime businesses demolished
to make way for new road
Antique Machinery Show
• June 27-29 at the Ripley County Fairgrounds in Osgood, Ind.
• Featuring Tradin’ post, quilt show, demonstrations, demolition derby, truck dirt drags.
• 9 a.m. - dark on Thursday-Saturday; 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Sunday
• Admission: $3 adults; children under 12 free
• Information: www.farmclubonline.com
(June 2019) – Anyone who has grown up on a farm can remember the make and model of the their first tractor. Its unique puttering sound still makes one’s head turn to look and recall memories of “The Home Place.” Chuck Heck and his friends started the F.A.R.M. (farm, antiques, and related machines) club more than 20 years ago and are dedicated to make sure that those memories aren’t lost forever in a constantly changing world.
On June 27-29, the club will be holding its annual farm machinery show at the Ripley County fairgrounds in Osgood, Ind. This year’s theme is the “Economy Engines” and the “Massey Family of Tractors.”
Heck, along with family members and friends, started the club in his family room. Its purpose is to provide a place where tractor connoisseurs could show their well taken care of machines and also to educate the public as to what the early farm machinery looked like and what its purpose was.
More than 150 vintage tractors of all makes and models will be available for close inspection along with some antique trucks. Heck, who has 12 tractors of his own, will be displaying his 1923 International. There is an open invitation for anyone wanting to show his equipment. All you need to do is to bring it to the show and pay a $5 club membership fee. Currently, there are more than 300 members who hail not only from southern Indiana but also northern Kentucky and eastern Ohio.
Not only will there be plenty of tractors to be seen, but a large variety of antique farming implements will also be exhibited. Several of these will be operating like they did many years ago. There will be a tractor-powered saw mill, and you will also see a thresher in operation. If you own a classic lawn mower, you’re welcome to display that, also.
Farm show organizer Chuck Heck poses with his 1929 McCormick-Deering Model 10-20 tractor, which he restored 20 years ago.
Maybe you’re thinking that you’re not that interested in old farm machinery? Never fear for the F.A.R.M. club has plenty of events that almost everyone can get excited about.
Who knows, if you listen carefully you might even hear heated arguments going on about the age-old farming controversy: red vs. green.
On Friday evening, the demolition derby will take place at the grandstands. It’s always exciting to see cars run into each other and not have to deal with the guilt of a driver getting hurt. On Saturday night, truck drag racing will take place, with trucks large and small taking on each other. Sorry, but this is a sanctioned event so you won’t be able to bring Old Nellie and jump into either one of these competitions
For those who aren’t thrilled by roaring engines, there is still plenty for you at the show. According to Heck, the most popular spot in the fairgrounds is the large cattle barn, which has been converted into the Trading Post. This is basically a flea market. While a lot of farm related items will be found here, so could be just about anything else.
For the softer and gentler side, a quilt show is always a popular attraction. Many different retailers will also be on the site, including those selling farm toys and a variety of food vendors.
A long-standing member of the club is Bob Voegele, who lives in Osgood and is a dedicated Ford tractor restorer. He has a collection of six tractors that includes models A, B, D, G and H that were made from 1928 to 1940. All of these are started with a crank. “If it has a battery, I don’t want it,” he joked.
Voegele has fond memories of an uncle who lived next door who spent a lot of time with him and helped him get interested in farm machinery. Because of that experience, he spends most of his time at the show demonstrating to youngsters how the old farm machinery works. He demonstrates the corn sheller and corn grinder.
Because a whole ear of corn is so difficult to find (combines take the grain off the cob), he raises his own patch to use for the demonstrations. When appropriate and with parents’ supervision, he lets the children get hands-on experiences using the equipment.
His favorite event is when he pulls out an ear of popcorn, has the kids shell it and then informs them that this is what is inside that bag of microwave popcorn. The kids listen in disbelief along with some of their parents. Other demonstrators will show how to carve wood with a chain saw and another one who will let kids make their own pen on a wood lathe.
This is one of those events designed for people to slow down. So pack a lawn chair and find a spot in the shade to rest from the week’s activities and talk to someone you don’t know. Both Heck and Voegele agree that one of the pleasurable things about the show is just getting to know the people.

Mahabodhi Temple Complex at Bodhgaya
The Mahabodhi Temple Complex, in Bihar, is one of the four holy sites related to the life of the Lord Buddha, and particularly to the attainment of Enlightenment. Asoka visited Bodh Gaya around 260 B.C. and constructed the first temple near the Bodhi tree.
Fahien first makes reference to the main temple and the Bodhi tree in 404-05 C.E. Hieun Tsang, who visited the site in 637 C.E., mentions the presence of walls surrounding the Bodhi tree, within which stood the Mahabodhi temple. Several additions and alterations took place and the present temple may be datable to the 6th century C.E. During the 19th century, the Burmese kings made certain repairs, which were continued by the British in 1880-84.
The temple, one of the few surviving examples of early brick structures in India, covers an area of nearly 4.8 hectares and is 55 m in height. The sanctum carries a lofty pancharatha sikhara of a straight-edged pyramidal design, demarcated into seven storeys by bhumi-amalakas.
The sacred Bodhi tree stands to the west of the above temple. It is known as the pipal tree (Ficus religiosa) in India. It is believed that this tree is the direct descendant of the original tree under which Lord Buddha meditated.

If you are still in the beginner stages of learning to play guitar, you might have some difficulty playing some tricky chords. Or you might have some issues getting your fingers around chords at the end of the guitar neck. If you know those feelings, then you might want to consider playing with a capo.
What’s a Capo?
A capo is clamp with hard rubber on it that acts as the movable ‘nut’ (that small plastic piece that connects your fretboard with the guitar’s headstock) on your guitar. It’s an essential, inexpensive tool for a guitar player to get more sounds from the guitar.
A player will open up the capo clamp, and place it down on the strings at a chosen spot, near the fret. What a capo essentially does is move the nut of the guitar, and allow you to play guitar in different keys. It brings the sound of the guitar higher to the ear.
When you move the capo up the neck, you are in effect making the guitar strings shorter, and with that comes a higher brighter sound. For each fret that you bring the capo higher up the neck, you’re increasing the pitch a half step on the musical scale.
Three Key Steps
The essential things you need to keep in mind about playing guitar with a capo are:
- Clamp the capo close to the fret. If there’s any buzzing on the strings, adjust the position of the capo.
- Place the capo tightly on the strings, so the strings all ring crystal clear when you play them.
- Your chords to your songs will likely change
Some songs are difficult chord structures for beginner guitarists, using unfamiliar chords near the end of the neck. But by using a capo on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd fret, the chord structure will change to enable easier more common chords to play. For instance, when you put a capo on the 3rd fret, the chords you play will all move up three half steps.

The tremendous advances in artillery that took place during the years leading up to the war helped to reintroduce an old, time-tested element to the uniforms of the 20th Century soldier: the helmet.
So numerous were head injuries from high-explosive shells during the first year of the war that it compelled the doctors on both sides to beg their respective generals to issue some measure of cranium protection in order to reduce the casualty figures. As you will read in the attached article, the French began to wear helmets in the fall of 1915; the British and Germans a year later.
"The Lewis gun was, in the circumstances, a weapon of very considerable value. It helped the British infantry to hold back masses of the enemy in the opening phase of the war, and became one of the most important instruments of attack and defense during the long period of trench warfare."
"The light Lewis gun became the favourite weapon of the British airman, against the Parabellum gun of German pilots and fighting observers."
Click here if you wish to read about the American inventor of the Lewis Gun.
The attached is a photo from a 1918 issue of GREAT WAR MAGAZINE and pictures the Brandt Grenade-Thrower - designed in 1916 by the Frenchman Edgar William Brandt (1880 - 1960). A commonly used piece of trench artillery that was most often found in the French sectors, it is easily recognized by it's highly pronounced barrel that narrowed at the muzzle. An air operated mortar of 75mm caliber, this piece was one of several compressed air projectors deployed by the French Army.
Naval mines had been around for centuries, in one form or another - and this article pertains to the particular type of anti U-boat mines that were put in place along those well-traveled sea lanes known best by that kind of German warship.

James' thread about 1950's era S&W's got me going on this snowy January Sunday afternoon, and it inspired me.
Early post WW2 through the late 1950's was a period of intense development at Smith & Wesson with many new models and updates on existing designs finding their way into the catalog.
The small ".32" Hand Ejector frame platform was no exception. There is much confusion amongst budding collectors about the meaning of "I", "Improved I" and finally the familiar "J" frame's evolution.
What follows is my feeble attempt to explain this development with photographs of guns in my humble collection. I hope you enjoy this and that it may answer a few questions.
Post War "I" Frame.
This example of the .32 Frame Handejector is from the earliest Post War production, and carries with it many of the pre-war features.
Note the "Hourglass" Cylinder Release, Half Round Front Sight, "Round-Top" Service Stocks, but the small-head Extractor Rod.
The Strain Screw on the fore grip strap is evident, and is a tip off that this gun has a flat main spring, a key in identifying the pure "I" Frame.
This gun's serial number nominally puts it circa early 1947, possibly 1946. According to the Production Tables in the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, the first Post WW2 I-frame serial is 536,685 in 1946.
Improved "I" Frame
This .32 Handjector is 574,833 from about 1949 and is a classic "Improved I Frame". Note the retention of the prewar front sight, but the elimination of the Strain Screw in the fore gripstrap due to the introduction of the coil mainspring and the appearance of the modern, familiar Cylinder Release. Also, the Grip Strap Length is the same as the earlier "I" Frame. Magna style stocks are now standard.
"Baby Chief" .38 Special.
By 1950 the first Chief's Special makes it debut on the "Improved I-Frame". This early .38 Special "Baby Chief" is serialed just over 1,000 and is a fair representation. It is believed to be from 1950 production.
Note that the Half Round Front Sight, the Small Trigger Guard, and shorter "I" Frame Grip Frame have been retained. Introduced are the true "Flat Latch", and the Lengthened Cylinder.
By serial number 19,000 (circa 1952) or so the now familiar "J" frame has emerged.
While still a 5-screw frame, this early J shows off the hallmark design features that would be prominent for more than 30 years in subsequent production. Note the lengthened grip frame and stocks. (A hint.... count the number of checkering lines below the "Diamond"). Also now standard are an enlarged Trigger Guard and Ramp Front Sight. An improvement over the "Flat Latch" Cylinder Release, this so called "Ramp" or "Burr" Latch will remain common and intermittent through the 1960's on some derivatives of the J-Frame, particularly the lighter weight Model 37's, etc.
I make no claim on authority of this topic, what I have shown is the results of my study so far and I stand to be corrected by further research or correspondence with my fellows.
It should be noted that there is still much to be learned about the Post War to 1960 .32 frame development and there is contradicting information existent surrounding these guns even within the Standard Catalog. Additionally, I have seen guns with "overlapping" features and with shipped dates out of sequence with their serial numbers. This makes the study of these neat little guns an exercise in clearing murky waters and uncovering previously unfound facts. Therein lies the goodness of the exploration.

Park City Rotary encourages nonprofits to register for Giving Tree Festival
This coming holiday season, the Park City Rotary Club will introduce a new nonprofit fundraiser called the Giving Tree Festival, said Cathy King, one of the festival’s co-chairs.
"The rotary has provided grants for local nonprofits for years and normally that’s where the proceeds of the Miners Day Running of the Balls purchases go to," King told The Park Record. "Even though we raise $35,000 to $40,000 each year through that, sometimes a grant [of $500] doesn’t go as far as we would like to see, especially if the overhead is high. So, we stepped back and thought about coming up with another idea to support these nonprofits."
The Giving Tree Festival was inspired by the Park City Rotary Club’s participation in a Rotary conference two years ago, according to King.
"We met a group from Roosevelt who does an annual tree project that is sort of like the Festival of Trees in Sandy," she said.
Local businesses would sponsor nonprofits to create a tree that would be auctioned off and the nonprofit would get to keep 90 percent of that money, King said.
King and her group decided to bring the concept to Park City and think outside the box.
"The auction item for our event doesn’t have to be a tree," she said. "It can be a menorah or a tree that represents all different faiths and religions."
Summit County-area nonprofits who want to register for the Park City Rotary’s Giving Tree Festival, which will be held at the Barn at the National Ability Center on Nov. 27 and 28, can do so by visiting http://www.parkcityrotary.com . Deadline is Nov. 1.
"The requirement is they have to be based in Summit County or service Summit County," King said.
Hosting the event over Thanksgiving weekend is a way to get people into the giving spirit, she explained.
"We will be open to the public on Friday, which is usually Black Friday, from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. and we are encouraging people not to go to Walmart to go shopping, but to come and see the items that have been created to get into the holiday spirit," King said. "We will have music and refreshments and people can come see the trees or other items."
That night the Rotary will host a private cocktail party for local businesses and property managers from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.
The actual auction, which will be open to the public, will be held Saturday. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $50 each and the price includes dinner catered by Kumbaya Kitchen and drinks provided by Top Shelf.
"As of now, we have 32 nonprofits who are participating," King said. "We hope more will register."
