A man from Jalgaon was arrested by Chatushrungi police for allegedly impersonating as an external examiner during the recruitment process at a government polytechnic college in Aundh. The exam was being conducted for lower division clerk and store keeper.
The suspect, 41-year-old Vikas Ashok Kabra was arrested based on a complaint by a college staffer Mrinal Harihar Thakare. Two accomplices Harish Patil (36) and Jitendra Mahajan (24) both from Jalgaon have also been arrested for forging a letter showing Kabra was the examiner.


The Republican Rep. New York’s Lee Zeldin announced on Thursday that he is running for governor against Governor Andrew Cuomo, accusing him of what he called a “ deadly warrant and cover for nursing homes ” and saying the Democrat is vulnerable.
“Look, on so many levels, everyone comes to the conclusion – whether you’re a Republican, Democrat, somewhere in between – that this guy has been there too long. It’s time to go, ”Zeldin told Fox & Friends Thursday morning.
Zeldin, who took office in 2015, represents a Long Island district and wants to face Cuomo in the Democratic-leaning state in 2022, where Republicans grappled with statewide elections.
He called his race “one last big chance to save New York.”
New York Representative Lee Zeldin has announced that he is running for governor against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo
He is a Trump loyalist who opposed both of the former president’s accusations, and who often put himself on cable news to defend Trump from attacks and investigations.
“This is the first time in my entire life that we have had a democratic one-party system in New York City, Albany and DC, and they are all doing their part to destroy their levels of government. We must… we cannot become complacent, ”he says told the network.
He also tweeted about his run, describing New York as a city suffering from Democratic rule that “ forced its own country to leave ” – as Trump did during his presidency when he moved his official residence to Florida, a lower tax state.
Rarely embrace Trump could be challenging in New York, a state that carried Joe Biden with 61 percent of the vote. Here Trump, right, greets Rep. Lee Zeldin, RN.Y., center, and wife Diana Zeldin for a 2019 Hamptons fundraiser
“ The New York that was once a magnet for the world’s best and brightest is now forcing its own country to leave under the crushing weight of skyrocketing taxes, lost jobs, stifling regulations and rising crime as a result of dangerously liberal policies, ” he said .
Cuomo is seeking a fourth term in office at a time when countless women have come forward to accuse him of sexual harassment. He is also under fire for his handling of the state’s coronavirus crisis over his order to return COVID-19 patients to nursing homes early in the outbreak.
Last month, while Zeldin was pondering publicly, he declined to say that President Joe Biden had won the election.
Zeldin voted against Joe Biden’s two-state vote counting on Jan. 6. He pushed back when Politico interviewer Ryan Lizza asked if he could say “ unequivocally ” that Biden won.
“Yes, Joe Biden is the President of the United States,” Zeldin replied. “And that’s how you become president of the United States,” Zeldin said.
Lizza again tried to get him to declare directly that Biden had won. “Is or was?” he insisted.
“I deliberately ask that he won the presidential election,” Lizza explained.
Zeldin then shot back, ‘Yes. And then I went on to answer. If you want to give my answer for me, you can do that. But I thought I would be here to answer my own questions, ”he said.
Cuomo faces a myriad of personal and political challenges, but one of his first political plays if he met Zeldin would be to relate him to Trump, who is unpopular in his former home state. Joe Biden beat Trump there by 61 to 38 percent in 2020.
The attorney general’s office is investigating allegations of harassment, groping, and bullying. Should Cuomo resign, Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul would be the party’s flag-bearer.
In yet another blow to Cuomo, the Washington Post reported that his government had granted special access to state coronavirus testing to Cuomo family members and other figures.
The last Republican governor of the state was George Pataki, who decided not to seek reelection in 2006.
Zeldin’s last word that he’s running comes days after Andrew Giuliani, a former Trump White House adviser and son of former New York City Mayor Andrew Giuliani, said he was thinking about his own run.
He told the New York Times he was “strongly considering” making what would be his first candidacy, with a decision by the end of the month. Another potential candidate is 2014 GOP nominee Rob Astorino, the former Westchester County Executive.

The news for the other half of the North American contingent at the World Cup was good and bad as the United States earned a ‘1-1 win’ as some English tabloids dubbed it versus England Saturday. The English brilliantly stretched out the American defense early in the match on a play that looks more like a rugby sequence as a throw-in deep in the American zone was played directly across the top of the area with a lengthy sequence of parallel passes that spread the defenders out, allowing Steven Gerrard to make a swooping angled run behind the sequence, cutting across the grain for a direct, open path to goal for the early strike.
The good news was that individually, the Americans played above expectations, Jay DeMerit in particular in shutting down superstar Wayne Rooney as the US rallied for the draw on the gaff that will no doubt be the most famous blooper of the tournament when everything is all said and done.
More bad news came the next morning for the US when Slovenia took advantage of an Algerian red card by scoring late in the contest to take control of the group with a 1-0 victory. The good news, though, is that neither team looked particularly strong, and Slovenia even struggled defensively against a 10-man Algerian side after gaining the man advantage.

Tourists, effective Feb 1, 2010, have to wear batik as they walk around Central Java’s famed Borobudur Temple. According to Purnomo Siswo Prasetyo, the chief executive of PT Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan and Ratu Boko, the company that manages the site, the ruling was made as locals are upset about tourists wearing skimpy clothing.
Visitors are also required to wear rubber sandals to avoid damage to the temple’s andesite stonework. The pilot project will be assessed and later expanded to the Prambanan — parts of which have reopened after a 2006 earthquake .
[Adapted from Antara News Agency]


Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate a hospital, built by Patidar Samaj Arogya Trust in Katargam area of Surat, and Sumul dairy plant in Bajipura village of the district on April 17, when he is also scheduled to address the public.
Being his first visit after the victories in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the event is expected to set the tone for the Assembly election campaign in Gujarat.
Modi had also attended the foundation stone laying ceremony of Kiran multi super specialty hospital and research centre, which he is scheduled inaugurate, as Gujarat chief minister on October 21, 2013.
Sources said that the hospital was built on an area of 17,000sqm, provided by Surat Municipal Corporation. The trust had organised a community gathering in Varachha on October 10, 2013, to raise funds for the hospital. The Patidar community, including diamond merchants and real estate businessmen, had actively donated and Rs 250 crores were collected within a couple of hours.
Member of Patidar Samaj Arogya Trust Govind Dholakiya, who owns a top diamond firm, said: “We are happy that the Prime minister has accepted our invitation.”
The owner of Shree Ramkrishna Export added the hospital had come up at a cost of Rs 500 crore with a facility of air ambulance.
It is to be noted that the community under Hardik Patel’s Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti had launched an agitation in 2015, demanding OBC status. In the agitation, 12 Patidar youths had lost their lives in August that year. The impact of the agitation was maximum in Surat, where it saw political gains for Congress, and north Gujarat. Congress had increased its seat tally in Surat Municipal Corporation elections in Patidar-dominated areas as also in district panchayats.
Sources in BJP say that Modi’s visit would help harbour the community’s support back to the party. Modi last visited Gujarat on March 7 and 8 to address a women sarpanch sammellan.

While many children are diagnosed with autism spectrum in their early years, it is not uncommon for children to first present with autism concerns after they have started school. Some may have already accessed care providers for specific needs prior to this. For others, this will be the first time there is an attempt to access assessment or intervention services.
If not already accessed, all school-age children with social and behavioural concerns should be supported by a local paediatrician. Please see:
https://healthengine.com.au/find/paediatrician/VIC/After a paediatrician confirms the need for further autism assessment, they may refer to a local Child and Adolescent Mental Health Multidisciplinary Assessment Team. Each team has slightly different requirements regarding prior assessment, so please contact them directly. Please see:

Rhun ap Iorwerth's full speech during the Senedd debate calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and Israel
I’ll begin if I may with some purely personal words, some personal reflections on what we have witnessed over the past month.
We have watched with horror. I mourn the deaths of all those who died in the heinous attacks by Hamas on October 7th. I mourn the many thousands who have died in Gaza since. The thousands of children. As a parent, I can’t fathom the scale of it. One child lost to war is too many.
I can barely imagine the anguish of the families of the hostages. Taken against their will. Held as prisoners. In fear.
I feel the need to speak today as a member of humanity. We are human. The pain of loss is felt equally by an Israeli and a Palestinian mother. Today we speak up for peace for all mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters.
We speak today in pursuit of unity. We reject division. We take a stand against those seeking to encourage division. To those seeking to provoke anti-Jewish or anti-Muslim sentiment, we say STOP. Now! In fact Jewish and Muslim representatives here in Wales have told me in recent days how support for each other means so much to them. This is the Wales we seek. Based on harmony. A community of communities.
But just as anything that threatens that harmony here in Wales must stop – so must the killing in this awful conflict. I hope we can ALL agree on that.
Every Senedd motion has to have a proposer, but my sincere wish is that we can all own the spirit and the substance of what is before us today.
We are at our best as parliamentarians when we speak with a united voice, sadly for too many today, we are also a voice for the voiceless.
It is in that spirit that we sought cross party support for the motion, and can I place on record my heartfelt thanks to all those who have signed the motion, indicated their support for it or who will be persuaded to do so.
My limited time will not allow me to adequately reflect the complex chronology of the Israel/Palestine conflict. Neither will it allow me to set out the detailed context to a conflict that LONG pre-dates October the 7th.
But let me set out AGAIN what all of us have responded to with absolute unity.
The horrifying, unspeakable attacks by Hamas and loss of innocent lives in terrible circumstances, the sheer fear felt by Israelis and the taking of hostages must be condemned - and has been condemned by us all - in the strongest terms.
When Hamas attacked that music festival in southern Israel bringing an end to life as it was only just beginning – it left one survivor recounting how she prayed to die quickly. I heard directly myself this morning the experience of one Israeli family. Sheer helplessness.
On Saturday, the Guardian laid bare another scene as its reporter wrote “The stench of death still pervades the Kibbits of Kfar Aza.”
We can ALL, surely, sympathise with and understand Israel’s anger. The motion today – condemning as it does the horrifying attacks... and calling for the immediate release of hostages - notes clearly that Israel has a duty to ensure the protection, security and welfare of its citizens.
But in the war that ensued after October 7th – the response that ensued... inevitable as a response was - so there has to be a duty to be proportionate. International law is clear on that. There can not be justification for the collective punishment of an entire population.
The United Nations reports that the overall death toll currently stands at over 10,000 people as a result of the relentless bombardment.
10,000 people who leave behind widows and widowers, grieving parents, and lost orphans. 4,500 of the dead are children.
And whilst we may be looking on from afar, it’s important to remember that there are families in Wales who are directly impacted. The grief is not confined to Israel or Gaza.
Aymen Aladham is an IT consultant and engineer based in Swansea.
In three separate airstrikes on Gaza during October, he lost 18 members of his family. In the first airstrike, four of his nephews were killed. Nine days later, his uncle and extended family were killed. And last week, his cousin and family were killed by Israeli airstrikes.
We owe it to all those who have lost their lives, Israeli and Palestinian, to speak up for a lasting peace.
That desire lies at the heart of Plaid Cymru’s motion today. A clear and unequivocal call for a ceasefire, both sides, an immediate and lasting end to the violence, and a global effort to ease the humanitarian suffering.
Whilst any pause in the fighting would be welcome to enable vital aid and supplies to reach those in need, any pause must surely be with a view to becoming permanent. That’s why a ceasefire is the call. Plaid Cymru believes pursuing a pause, a suspension, implies the acceptance of the inevitability of a return to further loss of civilian life.
As Oxfam argues, anything short of a ceasefire would be putting both humanitarian agencies and civilians at further risk. The UN agency for Palestinians report that more than 70 of their staff have lost their lives in the past three weeks, and the toll on local organisations taking the lead in Gaza is high. There can be no aid without aid workers.
Similarly, there can be no supplies transferred across a land where bombs and missiles continue to fall on already ruined roads.
Infrastructure in Gaza isn’t collapsing – it has collapsed. One UN official at a compound in the southern city of Khan Younis told UK media on Monday night that “It is a terrible, terrible situation. There is no room even to sleep on the floor. There is one toilet for 700 or 800 people. No bread, no stoves for cooking. We are drinking irrigation water.”
Isn’t this humanitarian catastrophe a failure of humanity itself?
Do we not owe it to every man, woman, and child to speak with one voice and to say that all such suffering is unconscionable?
And if today is not the day to call on all parties in the conflict to follow the path of peace, when is?
Hamas’ attacks on October 7th were unjust and inhumane. Indescribable.
But the collective punishment of the Palestinian population is also unjust and inhumane.
1.4 million people displaced from their homes.
2.2 million people desperately waiting for aid as water becomes more scarce and power cuts more common.
4500 children dead.
I will close with a harrowing testimony from Natalie Elghazzawi who lives in Cardiff. Natalie has chosen to use a pseudonym due to fear of reprisals against her family.
“I told my sister to write the names of her children on their arms because her children can’t talk”, she says.
“If they bomb them and my sister and her husband are killed, the children won’t be able to tell anyone who they are.”
Today’s debate is about giving a voice to the voiceless. It is about telling the world that it’s time to answer the plight of Gaza’s children. Israelis want peace too. We grieve with them also.
Whilst some will doubt the strength of a solitary parliament’s call for a ceasefire, we bring forward this motion in hope as OUR contribution towards what we see as an international effort.
Wales can, in this hour of unimaginable horror, be a small nation making a powerful statement for peace.
For the sake of others and in the name of peace, please support this motion today.
Mi fydd rhai yn gofyn pam ein bod ni wedi cyflwyno’r ddadl hon heddiw?
Pam ein bod ni’n trafod erchyllterau dair mil o ffilltiroedd i ffwrdd mewn Senedd sydd ddim â chyfrifoldeb uniongyrchol dros faterion tramor?
Mae’r ateb yn syml.
Onid dyma pwy ydy ni fel cenedl?
Y Gymru rwy’n ei hadnabod ydi’r Gymru sy’n gweld heddwch a dynoliaeth yn mynd law yn llaw.
A Chymru sy’n pwysleisio’r hyn sy’n ein huno, nid ein gwahanu.
Mae rheswm arall hefyd.
Gwn fod y dioddefaint yn Israel a Gaza yn cael ei deimlo i’r byw mewn cymunedau ledled Cymru.
Dwi’n gwybod y bydd pob un ohonom yn y Senedd hon yn cyd sefyll gyda’r cymunedau Iddewig a Mslemaidd sy’n profi be mae casineb yn gallu ei olygu.
As I said in my opening remarks, we tabled the motion in the spirit of being able to achieve the broadest support possible, and I’m grateful to all those who answered that call for unity by either signing or supporting th emotion. That’s what we sought.
We have to keep this an open delate, and honest debate. We should never try to exploit division. I have to comment on my dissapointment in the member for Blaenau Gwent, who despite discussing this very issue in a conversation yesterday, told BBC Radio Cymru this morning, and I quote, ~”Plaid Cymru say nothing in the motion about the hostages being held”
That is patently untrue as evidenced by the first line of the motion condemning Hamas and calling for the release of the hostages.
What we have before us now in reality are two not dissimilar motions, the original and the amendment. But there is one very noticeable and significant difference.
The former is centred around the call for a ceasefire, the latter omits the call for a ceasefire.
Of course a pause or a suspension of hostilities is better than nothing, but it isn’t the answer. And as I said earlier, implicit in it is an acceptance that the killing will then resume.
Under international law we shouldn’t have to depend on a pause to protect civilians and allow aid to flow.
Pauses and ceasefires can be fragile, but the experience of aid workers from other conflicts is that pauses to create safe corridors fuel rather than de-escalate a conflict.
Some members may have wanted to use different words in this motion, and I understand that. In fact 60 members could probably come up with 60 differnet workdings for the same thing! I know that in reaching out across party lines we did express our willingness to look again at the wording, but
- I realise that can sometimes be difficult to get things aligned and
- We couldn’t compromise on the call for a ceasefire.
What we ask all members to do is support the overarching aim of the motion – that this Senedd, representing the people of our nation takes a stand in the cause of humanity. That the killing must stop. That all lives are precious and that a ceasefire is the precursor to peace talks, bringing an end to the deaths of civilians in Israel and Palestine.
I referred earlier to a radio interview this moornig., IN the same interview, we heard the view that there won’t be a ceasefire. But we can’t afford to turn our backs on ANY chance to promote peace. We shouldn’t give up as lives are indiscriminately lost. We can’t lose hope. We shouldn’t be afraid to speak up.
I urge you all to support the motion.

AT LAST … THE POWER TO COLLECT
National Child Support is the nation’s leading expert at helping parents collect delinquent child support. Since 1991, we’ve collected millions of dollars for tens of thousands of parents just like you.
Our success is based upon a very aggressive, yet professional, approach to collecting child support:
- We do not charge any up front fees to collect delinquent child support. We’re motivated to perform and only get paid when you do.
- We continue to collect until your contracted arrearage is paid in full.
- Even if the child is now over 18, we can collect for you. Many states have no statute of limitations on collecting child support arrearages.
- Even if your child support case has been “closed” by a government agency many times we can still collect for you.
- Each case is assigned a collection specialist, supported by a client service representative, who is your personal contact for all your child support issues.
- Our collection specialists maintain very low case loads, so as to pay adequate time and attention to your case.
- National Child Support’s nationwide network of attorneys provides your family a powerful collection tool. We reach across state lines to any jurisdiction providing families the support they deserve. These litigation actions may include income withholding, bank account and asset attachment, property foreclosures and contempt of court proceedings. Based upon the millions of dollars we have collected over the years, National Child Support finds that legal action is only required in one out of every seventeen cases placed. Therefore, there is only a 6% chance we will be required to prosecute your case. However, should legal action become necessary, National Child Support will contact you for the signing of the appropriate affidavits, authorizations and forms.

This rough sketch shows is the final angle that I have selected for the establishing shot of Gary's house. This is an improvement on the previous shot, which was face on and felt far less dynamic. I may change the look of the house slightly, when inking it digitally, in order to give it a 'less human' look.
My main influences for this look were the homes of the main characters in both "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy." These shows are a different sort of animated show from the "Grumpy Gary" shorts but I found their establishing shots to be pretty effective.

The company says that the value of these contracts exceeds $1 million.
The Emsys system was introduced in September 2010 and is a second generation emissions monitoring technology system featuring laser based multi-gas sensors and an integrated Particulate Matter (PM) sensor.
WR has been recently awarded a patent on this PM sensor, which allows measurement of soot and particulates ‘outside of the exhaust stack’ – something the company claims is a “world first”.
“We developed Emsys for two reasons, firstly to demonstrate to the industry our capability to design a robust high-tech sensor which overcomes the traditional reliability and maintenance issues with first generation EMS systems, and in addition, we were determined to earn a solid reputation for equipment performance and dependable, affordable service,” said WR president, Dave Edwards.
“We are now working with the world’s largest shipbuilders in Korea, China and Japan, in addition to oil majors, drilling contractors, cruise ship operators, containership operators, LNG operators and scrubber manufacturers amongst others.”
“Our commercial maritime team has grown extensively since Emsys was launched, culminating in the recent opening of our Commercial Maritime Technology Centre in Jacksonville, Florida, which specialises in manufacturing full navigation bridge suites and service/support of marine electronics worldwide. Our success in supporting suppliers of scrubber systems has meant we are becoming the de-facto standard for these applications.”

To characterize human ocular surface shape using ultra-long scan depth spectral domain optical coherence tomography (UL-OCT).
A total of 10 eyes from 10 participants (6 males and 4 females, mean ± SD age: 31.2 ± 6.4 years) were recruited. A custom built UL-OCT (7.2mm scan depth and 6µm axial resolution) was used to image the entire ocular surface (18mm scan width) in both horizontal and vertical meridians. Custom image processing algorithm was applied to automatically yield the surface shape variables. These variables included sagittal depths at the central 6, 10, 12 and 15mm zones, the curvature and location of the corneal-scleral junction angle. A model surface eye was used to calibrate and validate the measurement. The junction angle was defined as the maximum change in the negative curvature (valley in the curvature profile, marked as green arrow in Figure 1, in diopter[D]).
The sagittal height profile of the model surface eye, determined by UL-OCT, agreed well with the known data. The overall root mean squared error between the UL-OCT and known data was 0.14µm. On the human eye, the sagittal depths at the 6mm and 10mm zones were significantly different between the horizontal and vertical meridians (t-test, P < 0.01, 0.59 ± 0.03mm vs. 0.60 ± 0.04mm at 6mm zone, 1.73 ± 0.08mm vs 1.87 ± 0.09 mm at 10mm zone). No significant differences of sagittal depths were found in other tested zones. The junction angle was detected on 5 eyes at the nasal side, none at the temporal side, 7 at the inferior side and 8 at the superior side. The location was found around 6-7mm chord distance from the apex. The averaged curvature at the detected junction angle was 12.99 ± 8.24D.
We have demonstrated the feasibility using UL-OCT for characterizing the ocular surface shape by measuring the sagittal depths and junction angle. UL- OCT is a powerful tool for providing the biometry of the peripheral cornea and sclera and may help in fitting contact lenses and lens design.

Parking survey to assess impacts on Diss shoppers
A new survey aiming to establish how the town’s parking affects people’s use of Diss town centre has launched as the £3 million Heritage Triangle regeneration continues to progress.
Organised by the Heritage Triangle project using funds obtained through the Portas Towns scheme, the survey intends to determine whether the improvements to Market Hill, Market Place and St Nicholas Street will impact the use of parking provisions by shoppers.
Results from the survey, which will be conducted with a combination of questionnaires and interviews, is also looking to identify whether changes to parking might encourage greater use of the town centre.
Sheila Moss King, programme manager for the Diss Heritage Triangle and Diss Corn Hall Project, said she hoped as many people as possible would have their say on the issue over the next few weeks.
To participate in the survey, please follow the links from the Diss Heritage Triangle website, which is at www.heritagetriangle.co.uk - or see www.surveymonkey.com/s/dissparking2015
Everybody completing the survey will be able to enter a prize draw, to win one of two £25 vouchers to be spent in the Heritage Triangle.

Custom USB drive packaging should complement every scenario. Different industries have different needs, right? All your collateral should work together to create a sense of a whole. As things like omni-channel marketing become, well, omnipresent, start to plan out how your business can capitalize on it. And jump on it early, before other organizations wake up and take note.
Consider how your organization or business uses flashdrives. Photographers dealing with digital images have different clients than a university, or a sales-driven business for whom flashdrives are more of a swag item. Packaging makes an impression. It's worth your time (and money to invest in custom USB drive packaging) to make that first impression count for something more.
Ideas for Custom USB Drive Packaging
Coming up with the "a-ha" lightbulb-kind of idea is usually the hardest part of the process when it comes to generating new ideas. Once you have it, the ideas tend to keep coming. The process flows on its own, in a sense.
Here are some ideas for custom USB drive packaging that could work across industries:
- Color code your sales flashdrives and packaging elements
Photographer Jennifer Tallerico knows the benefit of coordinator elements. She utilizes a luxe crystal flash drive on which to share images for clients, and has a system in place to enhance the content. She uses rose gold for boudoir photos, and aqua for underwater work. Clients can recognize the connection between both, and the trend carries through to flashdrive packaging. In your projects, utilize secondary palette colors or other complementary tones without straying too far from brand guidelines.
- Design companion content to go with promotional USB drives
One great way to fail with custom USB drive packaging marketing is simply handing clients a drive without anything to go along with it. Give recipients some more information on what will help them process the information. Or consider including some companion accessories, like an adapter cable or a portable battery/power bank.
- Select custom packaging elements that meet expectation
Flashdrive packaging is often cited as one of the elements most likely to make a positive impression on prospects. Whether you work in trade shows, higher education, photography, any industry: determine what your audience thinks and expects of your brand. Some customers might appreciate the sleek efficiency of the FlashPad Wallet; others might think quality custom USB drive packaging should be a little more giftworthy, like a turned edge box.
Go Forth and Innovate
Your industry will have different needs than other industries. Your business will have different needs than your competitors. Even your products will attract different customers. Don't stop customization at the top level because it's easy. Once size fits all rarely fits anyone well. Take the time to work out ideas around custom USB drive packaging to truly let your brand shine.

The Application of Surface Fairing Technique in Progressive Lens Processing
Based on the analysis of characteristics of progressive lens, it can be found that lens uneven change of curvature is an important reason of defect on progressive lens processed by single-point diamond cutting technique. By applying least square fairing method to fair the surface which is fitted and interpolated by Double Cubic B-Spline method, the curvature change of progressive surface becomes even. The processing experiment shows that the method in this paper can eliminate the defect effectively in the ultra-precision processing of progressive lenses.

Time to compare the Zastava over-sized AKs! Today I’m out at the range for a comparison shutoff between a Yugoslav M76 and a Serbian M91, both Kalashnikov-based DMRs made by the Zastava factory. The M76 is chambered for 8mm Mauser, with a pistol grip and a centerline scope. The M91 uses 7.62x54R ammunition, with a thumbhole stock and offset scope mount.
My conclusions? They both shoot the same. I like the handling of the M76 better, but as an American receiver kit-built, it just isn’t a reliable rifle. For something that can actually be counted on to run, the M91 is a much better choice.
Very interesting and useful comparison. Shot from very similar grade rifles, both cartridges perform similarly. That should tell us something.
On subject of Bolt/ Follower jam-up on M76: since follower is of machined construction, the rear side may be furnished with angular lead surface. This in connection with slight bolt lug dressing-up might, after last shot push follower down, instead of jamming on it. I cannot be certain, just guessing from what I saw in videos.
Super job Ian! You patience is admirable.
“(…)both cartridges perform similarly.(…)”
In fact they are close timeline-wise regarding bullet development.
7,62×54 R got Spitzer bullet in 1908, even back then there was perceived need for more modern cartridge (not rimmed) and it was deemed just stop-gap but as we can see proved very long lived, this bullet is now called bullet Л https://worldweapon.info/patron-762×54-r
In 1930 bullet for machine guns was developed called Д (for: long-range)
7,9×57 got Spitzer bullet in 1903, this bullet is known as S https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/7,92_%C3%97_57_mm
In 1933 bullet for machine guns was developed called s.S. (for: heavy Spitzer)
Around 1930 there were a number of armies that introduced heavy bullets for long machine gun use. Apart from the Soviet D, there were the U.S. M1 and the French 8 mm 32N and 7.5 mm 33D, for example.
The German sS cartridge was already produced late in WW1 for this purpose. In 1930 it was decided to make it standard issue also for the rifle, like the U.S. M1 was.
“(…)at the range for a comparison shutoff between a Yugoslav M76 and a Serbian M91(…)”
What does shutoff mean here? It is very intricate pun I do not undestand?
I think it was supposed to be “Shootout” but probably got autocorrected.
The AK family and the CETME/G3 family are both foreign made stamped-steel guns with loose interior clearances, intended for huge volumes of deployment with low cost per unit, both traditionally lacking in bolt holdopen, both considered extremely rugged but decidedly backwards in terms of modern ergonomics, and both regarded as very reliable in their original mass-produced military spec guise. In both cases, geometry is very similar despite the vast differences in operating principle, with the bolt carrier riding beneath a recoil spring on a guiderod that extends through an action tube that rides over and in front of the bolt head, both bolt heads lock into a trunnion made of solid metal that is pinned into the head of the stamped receiver.
I wonder why it is, then, that despite so many similarities, US-made AK receivers are always so heinous, but US-made CETME family receivers like the PTR can be counted on basically like the originals.
I don’t think it’s general build quality, because Century used PTR receivers in their last batch of parts-kit CETMEs. Century is not known for their exquisite build quality, for good reason, but despite this the C308 persists as an extremely reliable .308 platform with *minimal* tuning by the end user, generally consisting of running some steel wool down the inside of the cocking tube with a set of angled forceps, using a Dremel with a grinding stone to quickly true the ears of the trunnion with the frame rails to prevent bolt head preengagement, and then replacing the C-pin holding the head of the recoil rod in with a McMaster-Carr stainless roll pin, all for a total of about $10 and about fifteen minutes of work including cleanup at the end.
Is it fair to say US-made AKs suffer from essentially the same problems, and that it’s just not as practical to perform these “touch up” fixes as it is on an HK91 clone? Or is there something different about the AK that for some reason just makes it difficult to make in the US?
Interesting question, though peripheral to this video (M76 is milled).
I’ve never worked with an HK-type receiver and have only worked with Saiga AK receivers (both flawless). In principle, the AKM receiver should be much easier to get right, with basically infinite adjustability in four rails that are stamped oversize and can each be bent or filed (even repositioned in the case of the bottom two), whereas HKs’ indentation rails would need to be stamped and bent just-right the first time. I don’t know what else to tell you, other than kudos to PTR’s QA program.
I have seen several videos from production line in Izhevsk plant. Final assembly operations are performed by hand in fixtures; it takes some well trained touches to make good rifle.
This is just completely off the top of my head, so take it for what it’s worth.
Given the complexity of G3/CETME receiver stampings, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were done with surplus HK dies, purchased maybe from one of the countries that built the G3 under license. AK receiver stamping jigs, in contrast, seem much more improvised that what’s used in Izhevsk. So while an AK receiver is much simpler, most US receivers are being built on less precise equipment than that used for US G3/CETME receivers.
As is said a lot around here, I could be wrong.
The PTR clones are made with old tooling from the FMP factory that manufactured udner license for the armed forces of Portugal. Other clone sellers in the US use turkish or pakistani made receivers. Then there are a few gunsmiths that bend the sheet metal manually. I guess the market is so small, that only the most dedicated and skilled do it.
Whereas anything AK has the stigma of being cheap attached. Ignoring, that lots of AK were sold under value in the past, because there were so many of them (just like with WW1 and 2 surplus rifles. A Mosin-Nagant is anything but cheap to make new actually). An AK is only cheap when made in a big factory that puts out millions of them, whcih spreads out the costs over high numbers. When made in low numbers it gets expensive. A quality made AK rifle costs as much as an AR-15 type rifle made by a competent shop, if not more, because the basic parts for an AR-15 are ubiquitous. For an AK you have to make many parts yourself or somehow import them from Russia, Bulgaria etc. so to keep the cheap price, because many buyers are not going to see it worth it to buy an expensive AK corners are being cut. Plus a lack in expertise in making AKs.
To save that poor M76 parts kit build it would need either a competent gunsmith fidning the problem areas and correcting these or putting the parts in a properly made receiver, that is correctly dimensioned and assembled from the start.
It would be interesting to find out what exactly cause the reliability issues. Perhaps some things that can be easily adjusted, or perhaps not. The mechanics and physics of the failures need to be determined.
does nodak spud make appropriate receivers for these rifles?
Tortort does & I have had 100% function & quality from their recivers ( plural!!). Thought C&C Warrior, Nodac & an Ohio guy did make them , I know Torttort still make them . All Torttort are high quality I have worked with
The “correct” M76 with the “right” cartridges confidently holds accuracy of about 1 MOA.
“Even” being a barrel replacement at 308.
Most likely, the problem is in the “right” gunsmiths.
As in all old AKs, for proper operation, the bolt must be adjusted individually for the receiver.
Even if the new receiver was made according to the original drawings, the bolt was ALREADY fitted to the old receiver.
Of course, there is no need to talk about any accuracy and reliability.
Similarly for the M91.
When the old locksmiths who engaged in manual fitting of bolts ended in the 199s at the arms factories, AK-s abruptly ceased to be “the most reliable.”
Apparently, the same thing happened with the Serbs.
These two sticks are facing each other.
Suitable only as a paddle for a raft. LOL
What distance ? Not that bad for your ammo. I shot PPY match in a TIGR at 200 meters with a lot of unpleasant recoil and poor results. I load light loads with a 150 grains bullet made for the Lee Enfield with very good results
I use a wax applied with a q-tip on both front and rear of the M-76 magazines which seems to work great on preventing the mag’s follower from tilting. An application of a light grease also will help on the front of the mags forward wall. Works for me.

What’s the truth about Oldham?
Myths pushed by media and police
BBC RADIO 4’s Today programme last week reported that the mainly Asian area of Glodwick in Oldham, Lancashire, is now a “no-go” area for whites. Oldham police had released figures that said of the 572 racist attacks in the city last year, 60 percent were against whites, mainly by Asians. This led much of the media to claim that there are gangs of racist Asians in parts of Britain who are attacking white people.
MATTHEW COOKSON visited Oldham to discover the reality for Asians and whites in the area.
THE MINUTE you enter Glodwick you realise that it cannot be a “no-go” area for whites. Most of the people who live there are of Pakistani origin, but whites live there as well. In the heart of Glodwick is a pub called Live and Let Live, in which many white people drink. There were no signs saying “Whites not welcome”, as the papers reported, and no threats towards me or any other white person.
“We don’t mind if white people come to Glodwick,” Arfan, a 16 year old Asian who took me round part of the estate, said. The message from Asian people was, “We’re not stopping whites from coming to this area-but we’re not going to tolerate racism any more.” Saleem said, “I’ve always worked with and got on with white people-I don’t believe in racism. In the past our parents got beaten up by racists, but us youngsters know our rights. We won’t accept it. If an idiot comes into Glodwick looking for violence we’ve got to defend ourselves.”
There are virtual “no-go” areas in Oldham though. “We can’t go to the mainly white area of St Mary’s on our own,” said Arfan. “There are big risks going there.”
Asians make up about 11 percent of Oldham’s population. They suffer racism, and there has been a deliberate attempt by some of those at the top of society to divide communities. In 1992 a Commission for Racial Equality report found that Oldham council had “discriminated against Asians on racial grounds by segregating them from other applicants” in its policies of housing allocation.
It also found that the council “had directly discriminated against Asian applicants by disproportionately allocating them to poorer properties.” This racism even extends to the way the central shopping area views them. “If four Asians go into the town centre they get split up by the security guards because we’re seen as being ‘suspicious’,” said Arfan.
The local daily newspaper has a record of sensationalising attacks on whites and not reporting racist attacks.
“If someone beats up an Asian then it’s just another crime and hardly reported, but if an Asian beats up a white person it’s on the front page,” Saleem told me.
Together against the nazis
ASIAN AND white people in Oldham demonstrated against the National Front on 31 March. This unity needs to be built on now, as the Nazi BNP leader says he will stand in Oldham
Black, white Asian united
ALTHOUGH THERE are divisions between the different communities in Oldham, recent events showed that black and white can unite. When the Nazi National Front (NF) planned a “Rights for whites” march through Oldham on 31 March, community activists and trade unionists organised to stop them.
Around 1,000 anti-racists, including councillors, MPs, and black and white people, rallied in the centre of the town in protest at the planned Nazi march. The Nazis failed to turn up and the anti-racists were jubilant. A big step forward had been taken.
“We proved there was a link between ordinary people,” says Tariq, a local anti-racist activist. “We sent out our message loud and clear.” Jason Travis, the president of the Oldham NUT teachers’ union, adds, “The rally was a complete victory. The mood was disciplined and peaceful, celebrating our right to march through the town centre, and showing in action the principle of black and white, unite and fight.”
Several mass meetings of hundreds of people in various communities had shown the widespread disgust at the NF. In contrast to the response of ordinary people, the police stressed the NF’s “good behaviour”.
Police sergeant David Cooper of the Racial Incident Unit said of the Nazis, “The group appeared to be well organised, well disciplined and coordinated. There was nothing particularly racially inflammatory about what they said.
“They demanded positive action and asked the Asian community to extract the small number of hooligans from their community.” Oldham has a long tradition of fighting racism.
When Nazis daubed racist graffiti at Counthill School three years ago, thousands of local people signed the petition against the attack. The Nazis were beaten back. Now local people have to unite again to fight racism, media lies and police scare stories.
They will also have to campaign against the Nazi British National Party (BNP), which is standing in two seats in Oldham in the coming general election.
Sack this cop
WHEN TOLD that Asian community leaders rejected the idea of Glodwick being a “no-go” area for whites, one of Oldham’s senior police officers, Superintendent Dick Crawshaw, replied, “You must have spoken to the only 12 people in the area who can read and write.”
Crawshaw should be immediately sacked for that outrageous comment. Police statistics claim that the majority of racist attacks are by Asian people against white people.
But this doesn’t take into account the number of Asian people who have suffered racist attacks but have no confidence in the police, so don’t report them. It is also clear that a number of supposedly “racist” attacks by Asians are in fact the result of violence by whites.
“Sometimes drunken white gangs come into Glodwick and make trouble,” says Mohammed. “They shout abuse and throw bricks at people. The police don’t do anything. It is up to Asian groups to protect their community. After these white gangs have been kicked out of the area the police say to them, ‘Who beat you up?'”
These incidents are then written up as racist attacks. The police also encourage white victims of crimes committed by Asian people to report it as a racist attack, even when the victims themselves have not suggested racism.
BOTH ASIANS and whites in Oldham suffer high levels of unemployment and poverty. The two electoral wards that Glodwick is in, Alexandra and St Mary’s, have unemployment rates of 8.6 percent and 9.6 percent.
The mixed area of Coldhurst has an unemployment level of 11.2 percent. In Werneth, a mainly Asian part of Oldham, 10.4 percent of people are unemployed. An Oldham Labour Force survey in 1997 found that 13.1 percent of Pakistani and Bangladeshi males between 16 and 24 were unemployed, as were 9.1 percent of white males of the same age.
Only 12.6 percent of all Pakistani and Bangladeshi young males were in what was defined as a “well paid job”-of over 150 a week! This compares to 30.3 percent of young white males.
Why I’m voting socialist
“I JOINED the Labour Party in 1984-5 during the miners’ strike. In 1995 I became a councillor in Bristol. But the party moved more and more to the right. Once Blair was in as leader the whole structure of the party was being destroyed. I was reselected to stand as a councillor again in 1998, but I felt increasingly betrayed by New Labour. I was expelled from Labour for backing a socialist candidate in the 1999 elections. I joined the Socialist Alliance in Bristol last year-it stands for my values.”
It's a 40-year high
Reports from disputes around Britain
Security services were involved

A novel can begin when you pick up the newspaper—and sometimes does. You read about Senator Ted Kennedy undergoing therapy for a brain tumor and he’s quoted as saying that it’s not time for eulogies; he’s planning to stick around. And, no matter what side of the political fence you sit on, you start to wonder what it would be like to be diagnosed with a deadly cancer and still feel that you have so much work left to do in your life. And in that moment of bravery—or maybe that moment of delusion, as the writer in you needs to decide—you have an idea for a novel.
You delve into the poignancy of Senator Kennedy’s situation. You may decide to change his name. You may make him a congressman or take him out of politics all together and make him a grocery store owner.
However you choose to alter the facts of the situation, at some point you have to ask yourself if this novel idea can really become a novel. Everyone dies, so we know the ending—so where’s the conflict? What kind of structure would the novel have? Do you want to make it a 300-page postmodern rumination on a life well lived? And, if you do, how would you make it interesting to a reader?
Ideas for stories are everywhere. A conversation overheard in a bar, an experience in your own life, even the newspaper—all serve as great resources for ideas, but these ideas may not make great novels, or novels at all.
Novels are built, not discovered. Your inspiration is just the beginning. Once your interest is peaked, the building process begins. How you build your story depends on who you are.
If you’re a mystery writer who came across Senator Kennedy’s quote, or if you know a person struggling with cancer, you may take a route similar to that which Tom Cavanagh did in his comic mystery, Head Games. Cavanagh, in an effort to understand his father’s cancer, created a hero, former Orlando Police Detective Mike Garrity, who has a tumor in his head. That tumor’s name is Bob, and, unfortunately, Bob is the most significant relationship in Garrity’s life.
Now while this may sound flippant, it’s really not. Cavanagh used the great love he has for his father and his intimate knowledge of the situation to create a work that is indeed funny—and at the same time gentle and wise—and is still a bona fide murder mystery. It’s truly a novel idea.
Of course, Cavanagh could have written a memoir about his father, or a family saga based on the possibility of losing him. Or, like Alexs Pate in Losing Absalom, he could have used a father’s brain cancer as a way to speak not only about loss but the choices we make in our lives and the issues of race. But, as most writers do, Cavanagh dealt with his interest in a way that reflected his own history and disposition—he used the tools of his own life to build a story.
In his past life, Cavanagh was a writer for Disney television. He still lives in Orlando. So when he sat down to write the plot for Head Games, he drew upon his days working in children’s television and had his detective search for a lost member of a boy band (who bore a striking resemblance to a member of The New Kids on the Block, a boy band that the author worked with). He also set the novel in Orlando. Those intimate details gave his idea the energy it needed to become a novel: They gave it life.
The word novel is both a challenge and a promise—it means “new or unusual, the first of its kind.” So, it’s your job to take your novel idea and pay it off in a way that is new, unusual—and truly your own.
As you flesh out your story, ask yourself, “How can I make this different? What’s the twist? Given the parameters of the situation, what’s the unpredictable thing that no one is thinking of here?”
Always remember that writing is an art form, just as painting is. The purpose of art is to make people rediscover what they think they know and to assist them in incorporating this newfound or rediscovered knowledge in their own lives.
Consider the work of Andy Warhol. He painted large canvases of Campbell’s soup cans in vivid colors. He put them on the wall as if to say, “Look at these, these are art.” And so we had to look at them closely, more closely than we did when we opened a can of Cream of Tomato for lunch. And through the process of that examination we may not think it’s truly art, but we have a chance to think about our relationship to the image, the image’s relationship to our lives, and what the image means to us. We may even ask ourselves, When is a can of soup more than a can of soup?
That’s what art does—it enriches our lives and our understanding of our experience.
And that’s what a writer brings to writing—she takes an everyday event or object, like being ill or buying Campbell’s soup, and makes it so vivid that we understand our own world in a slightly different way. She make us think outside of the box of our own making.
Everything you write, even if you define it as a paperback romance, is art. Art is crucial to society because it asks us to imagine—and when we imagine, all things are possible. Virologist Jonas Salk imagined a world without polio, and made it so.
So when you have a novel idea, no matter what the source, you need to test it, to verify the fact that it can become something bigger than just a notion—you need to know if it can inspire you to build a world, which can inspire the world.
THE NOVEL LITMUS TEST
To see if your story idea can turn into a real novel, you have to decide if it has “legs.” Can you run with it? Can you somehow take the idea that sparks your interest, find meaning in it, and create a world from it that is real and meaningful to others? Can you turn it into something that sparks your reader’s imagination as much as your own?
To answer these questions, approach your idea as a journalist approaches a story. Begin by asking about the who, what, where, when, why, and how of what you think your story might be. The more precisely you answer these questions, the deeper the understanding you’ll have of your novel’s potential.
Keep in mind that if you do decide to write the book, you may find that as you work, the circumstances of it could change, or the characters, or any number of elements—that’s very common. As the Emergency Broadcast System used to say when it interrupted your favorite television show, “This is a test. This is only a test.”
The Litmus Test allows you to see if you have interest, and if the story is deep enough, to actually begin writing. It is by no means an outline of your work, although it can become one.
As you go, write your ideas down in a notebook. You’ll want to keep your responses for reference in case you decide to go ahead with the project.
Step one: Answer these questions to the best of your ability. There are no wrong answers, but there are answers that inspire you to write on … and that’s what you’re looking for.
1. What about the idea draws you in? What’s the most important element of it to you?
2. Who could the players be? Not just the people who inspired you to follow your idea but the supporting characters. What type of people would be involved in the situation? Who are the friends? Who are the acquaintances? Who are the enemies? Try to create a quick biography of each in which you explore their relationships to each other and to the protagonist. Try to engage all your senses. What do they sound like when they speak? Don’t forget to add physical descriptions, aspirations, and even cologne choice, if you “know” it.
3. Where does the story take place? When? Keep in mind that the details of the incident that sparked you may not be where you choose to set your novel. Whatever you do, make the setting as concrete as possible. Every reader needs a sense of being grounded in a time and place. Nobody likes the feeling of not knowing where they are.
4. What are the possibilities for conflict? Don’t just settle for what actually happened. Now that you have a chance to imagine this idea in a more fleshed out manner, ask yourself what could happen given who the characters you’ve created are, in addition to where they are in this world that you’ve made.
Step Two: Write. This is the difficult part. Once you’ve decided the particulars of the story you want to tell, just start writing it. Begin with what you think is the first chapter. Then write the next. Or, just write a couple of chapters out of sequence. When you reach fifty pages, try to write an outline. If you can’t, keep writing until you can’t write anymore, and then try again.
You’re not looking for publishable pages, you’re just looking to unlock the possibility of the story and give yourself an understanding of the depth of the project. These pages will be more about what’s possible given your idea, and not necessarily part of your final text—although that’s possible, too.
Whenever you feel blocked, put the pages away and come back to them the next day. If you continue to feel blocked, or if you have written fifty pages and have run out of ideas for the 270 more you need, put the project away for a while—a week, a month, a year, whatever.
Whatever you do, don’t throw any of this away. While you may not be able to write this particular project right now, the fact that you were inspired in the first place may mean that there’s some part of this story that you need to write. When you’re ready to do that, it’ll be waiting for you.
EXERCISE: YOUR VISION AS A WRITER
You can change the names and the circumstances, but you’re always working within the boundaries of your own heart. The ideas that spark you will all have common threads. Short or long is really just a momentary decision. You’ll always have another chance to rediscover what you’re trying to say, and what you’re trying to say will change with age and your own experience, but it will still be part of your landscape. The only time you’re ever finished with a story is when you take your last breath.
Take a look at the books you enjoy reading and compare them to your own writing. Then ask yourself, what are the themes and traits that define the work you like? What defines your own work? Make a list of both. For example, Isabel Allende is known for lush historic Latin American novels steeped in romance, magic realism, sorrow, and hope. She once said, “I have stopped asking myself why; now I trust that in every book I am exploring my own soul, my past, myself. Certain things interest me deeply: strong women, mothers, love, violence, death, loss, grief, friendship, loyalty, justice, and redemption. Those seem to be constant themes in my writing and in my life.”
What are the things that are part of your life that you explore? What interests you deeply? Once you know, you’ll better understand where each story will take you.

It was gradual. But powerful. Sitting back and watching the protests in Ferguson, where ever there was violence against people of color, the beginnings of #BlackLivesMatter movement, I thought to myself, “Wow-how angry these people are.” And went about my own business. I wasn’t indifferent, just ignorant in my understanding of their experience. Sure, I could watch the tv news every morning and night and see the violence that people of color are subjected to daily by the government meant to protect us all, but hey-it didn’t affect me, so….I didn’t think about it too much. Am I showing how deep I was in my own white privilege? I hope so. Honestly, I am still shoveling my way out of this deep hole I am in.
Then I spoke with people. SPOKE with them about their experiences. SPOKE with them about their thoughts, their feelings, their beliefs. And it started to sink in. I wrote a piece earlier last year…about 6 months ago…and I stated that violence begets violence begets violence…but I better understand WHY there has been violence. I was still mired down in my own privilege and allowing that to influence my thoughts and feelings. But not anymore. I GET IT NOW. We have, since the founding of this country, used non-peaceful protest and actions to achieve the desired results (Hello…the American Revolution! A giant war that included an act of rebellion and governmental property damage in Boston). WE WERE FOUNDED ON NON-PEACEFUL PROTEST. I get it now, my friends of color. I get WHY there has been so much violence. I get WHY peaceful protest does not always work. And I understand that, if I want to be a part of this protest against the atrocities taking place in our country against people of color, women, immigrants, the LQBTQIA community, I HAVE to WAKE THE FUCK UP to the fact that it will not be peaceful, silent, or pretty. I HAVE to be okay with that because if I am not, I will remain in my bubble of ignorance surrounding myself with the unrealistic and idealistic point of view that just by talking about it, something will happen.
NO. I was WRONG to think that a peaceful protest will always be the best way to be heard. And it is uncomfortable. I feel guilty. I feel ashamed. I feel like I have been part of the problem. And I am going to try my damndest to correct my oversight. I am going to try my damndest to continue to be uncomfortable, because when I am feeling this discomfort, I am learning about what I have done to overlook the truth of it all. And MY truth is that I was too scared to be fully involved because I didn’t want others to think poorly of me, to think I was stirring the pot, to think that I was supporting something just to support it and not because I truly believed in the movement. I didn’t want to catch shit from my family, whom I love dearly, but I do not share the same political beliefs as they do.
The amount of emotional labor that my friends of color and my friends in the LGBTQIA (of which I identify as being a part of, btw) have put in to educate cisgender, heterosexual white people has been tremendous. They are the ones experiencing the violence, condemnation, anger, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc and then they have to EXPLAIN WHY they are upset?? No. Not okay. NOT OKAY AT ALL. I should not expect them to go through all they do and then do MORE work to try to explain why things need to change. So, I plan to stay uncomfortable. And I plan to make other folks uncomfortable as well by talking about it.
So, my friends of color, my friends in the LGBTQIA community, stay angry. Keep protesting. Keep speaking out. I am going to be a better advocate for you. I am going to be a better listener. I am going to pay attention to the ignorance that is around me and try to educate people as best I can. And I may come to you from time to time to help me use the right words so I am not furthering misconceptions or passing along unhelpful and ignorant information. I am going to stay #woke.

Surrounded by a sea of sugarcane, this poverty-ravaged town on the southeastern edge of Lake Okeechobee always has been one of the country's most fertile football areas.
It's a place where players chase rabbits from burning brush to gain speed, college coaches begin recruiting trips and Friday nights produce future NFL stars. Football is the main diversion in Belle Glade, aka "Muck City," a place so depressed it lacks a big discount store and even a movie theater.
Now football is being threatened.
When U.S. Sugar Corp. -- the nation's largest sugarcane producer -- agreed in June to sell its nearly 300 square miles of farmland to the state for $1.75 billion, the deal was touted as an environmental victory for the government's ongoing Everglades restoration project. But for the community, it's a big blow.
In what is already one of the country's poorest areas, about 1,700 U.S. Sugar employees will lose their jobs when the transfer to the state is consummated in six years. The rest of the local economy, which mostly supports U.S. Sugar and its employees, will also suffer.
"The only thing most people around here know how to do is grow sugar and play football," 70-year-old resident Jack Brown said. "Without sugar, there will be no football."
The town of about 15,000, which got its nickname from its soil's black muck, has football talent just as rich.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor, Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes and dozens of other current and former NFL players call Belle Glade home. The four major programs in the area -- Glades Central, Pahokee, Glades Day and Clewiston -- have combined to win 17 state championships. Glades Central, the best of the four, has won six titles.
Pahokee, eight miles north along the lake's shore, produced Arizona Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin among others. Glades Central and Pahokee have combined to send 48 players into professional football.

William “Trip” O’Malley has announced his candidacy for Dunmore Borough Council. The 45-year-old Democractic, says, “As a sixth generation resident of the borough,I believe that Dunmore is the best little town in America and I will serve to keep it that way for future generations.
“I originally decided to run for Borough Council due to my opposition to the proposed 42-year expansion of the Keystone Sanitary Landfill and the potential health and safety issues it could bring. The DEP may issue a decision on the expansion before the election, but I will never stop fighting for the clean air and water that borough residents deserve.”
Additionally, O’Malley says, “I am also very concerned about the borough’s finances. There is currently $6.8 million left from the $18 million the borough received from the sale of the Scranton Sewer Authority. That money will be gone in a few years if the borough continues to balance its budgets using those proceeds.
“I will work to see that our tax dollars are being spent wisely and our budgets are balanced responsibly. I will always act in the best interest of our nine square miles and the 14,000+ residents of the borough.
As a Social Studies teacher of over two decades, I know that public service is a privilege and I will work diligently for all Dunmoreans and the future of our great borough. I humbly ask for your vote on May 18.”
O’Malley has been an American history and psychology teacher for 22 years at Dunmore High School, where he has also served as Student Activities Adviser for 17 years. He is a current member of the Dunmore Democratic Committee and former member of the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee.
O’Malley and his wife, Laura have three sons, Will, 8; Rory, 7, and Miles, 5.

Do not rely on places where you go to provide you decent internet connection. It also includes your 3G/4G data service on phone. Before you leave your home, better make sure that all your hotel coupons are downloaded on your device. Download all the tickets/ boarding pass etc.
Almost all the airlines provide online check-in. Just use it and don’t waste your time at the airport. Just check-in your bag and be on the way. Download your boarding pass on your phone.
All the low cost insist that you check in online or they would ask you to pay extra at the airport like wizz air or ryan air.
Same thing with cruises.
Keep your gadgets in separate bag with chargers clip. Mobile chargers are usually the most forgotten item at hotel or at home. Make sure you have universal electronic converter. If you end up in different country that doesn’t allow to charge your gadget juices, you are stuck.
Charge all your gadget juices to full at the airport. You never know when you would need your gadgets and what would happen to you if they fail to work.
1. International documents
If you are travelling to international destination – make sure you take photocopy of your visa and passport.
2. Credit Card
Please photocopy both side of your credit card and email it to yourself.
Don’t keep any secure document on your handheld for sure. If your mobile ever get stolen, you are stuck in big limbo.
Small tip: Make sure you know all benefits of your card. Use your card to get as many rewards as possible. Don’t use your card if it isn’t really benefitting you. Use cash.
If you are travelling international – I usually recommend buying small cheap phone that carry your home country SIM. You go to new destination and insert that country’s SIM. You know who is calling you. You buy data plan at the country you are visiting. Don’t buy SIM if you are visiting less than 5 days unless its South East Asia where phone plans are dirt cheap.Don’t use native cell phone.Please activate Skype, Viber, Rebtel or any other form of Internet based calling where you can call unlimited for a month or so.Check your baggageSeriously, What kind of a bag are you carrying? Fill your baggage completely and throw it around for a while. If it survives, it is good to go. Otherwise keep it home. I have suffered this problem countless times. I am on a long trip and my backpack straps come off. My wheels get broken There have been times where my trolley fails to work at all. Please invest in proper bag.
Carry small electronic pouch that have everything from your chargers, sim to all other items. Take it out it one go at airport security and put it back it in easy. Don’t waste countless hours fumbling around to put your laptop or phone around. It is also handy when you are trying not to forget your chargers. All you have to do is look in one place.
Another thing you would forget is your Toiletries pouch. There is no way to save that one other than being mindful about it.
I imagine my whole day before I pack my bag. It includes smallest things like juicing up my batteries, brushing teeth to what I would be wearing. So many people forget their undergarments and socks before travelling because it is not something they consciously think about.
Do not pack what you won’t need. It is as simple as that. If you are staying in hotels, you don’t need towels. If you are staying at someone’s else place – better carry your towels.
What to pack and what not to pack – That is post for another day.
