U.S. out of Orson's Farm![edit]
Why are all of the U.S. Acre references changed to Orson's Farm references? The original title of those segments was U.S. Acres, and it should therefore stay that way. The fact that Orson's Farm was the name used in all markets outside North America is irrelevant; we should use the original title.
- Indeed. Using the original title by no means makes the article North America-centric. I have done manual reversion of the title. --Sn0wflake 23:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
It says that seasons 6 and 7 weren't shown in syndication. While I don't know about now, I am positive that many of those episodes at least used to be (oh, 8-10 years ago), as I recognize them, and didn't watch at least the last couple seasons in the original airing. Melodia Chaconne 23:01, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Would people please stop changing the "U.S. Acres" references to "Orson's Farm" references? That's the original title, and it should therefore read as "U.S. Acres".
- Yes - second that notion. ~ Ross (ElCharismo) 14:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I asked to Mark Evainer via e-mail about why Arlene don't appear on the show but Penelope instead. I don't know how to add the answer to the article with a citation --Atoon 17:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Wade's floatation tube expressions The article states that the duck head on Wade's floatation tube follows his expressions, but never his mouth movements. This is not true. In at least one episode (Fine Feathered Funny-man) Wade's toy duck head copies his mouth movements as well. [[1]] EthanL (talk) 08:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Panic Picnic[edit]
I think that this episode should be included here, as it's Garfield's most recognizable cartoon ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 15:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey, what was wrong with the old picture? 126.96.36.199 01:56, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
What I'm refering to is that a new picture is being used in the infobox. 22.214.171.124 01:43, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Guys, is this some inside joke I'm missing here? Rosalina doesn't exist. And if you have actual evidence of Rosalina's existence please supply references. Otherwise, you might confuse the poor souls who come here and think Rosalina exists.
And if you have an actual reputable source that says Rosalina exists and was deliberately edited out of syndication AND the DVD sets, please inform us. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 06:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
If you mean Roselyn, then just watch The Great Getaway.
If you don't, then you might wanna check VHS tapes of the original CBS airings. 2602:30A:C010:11F0:4109:E2E4:557E:C7E (talk) 14:49, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Story or Cartoon?[edit]
I just changed First Garfield Story to First Garfield Cartoon and the like (basically, I just changed mentions of story to cartoon in the section which describes the format.) I just felt cartoon was more appropriate. If anyone feels this is incorrect, revert it.126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:23, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
DVD releases[edit]
If somebody can find the answer, could they add why all the references to U.S. Acres were changed to Orson's Farm on the DVD releases? I know that was the name used for foreign syndication, but AFAIK "U.S. Acres" was used both for CBS and the syndicated airings in the United States, so why do the Region 1 DVDs use the Orson's Farm name? The only use of the U.S. Acres name was one of the quickies on Volume 2 was called U.S. Acres Quickie, every other short and full length segment uses the Orson's Farm name. This seems odd, and something that could be mentioned in the article. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 02:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
I'll be getting sick of all the "Orson's Farms" around Volume 5, DIsc 2. 2602:30A:C010:11F0:4109:E2E4:557E:C7E (talk) 14:49, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
Nermal "androgynous?"[edit]
I can't believe I have to fight for this point, but describing Nermal as androgynous is as ridiculous as trying to describe Bert and Ernie as gay. It goes against the fact that Nermal has long been established as a male in both the comic strip and the cartoon(s). That a handful of people view him as androgynous is meaningless to and should not be a part of the article. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:51, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- I think you're exagerating a little bit. First, it's not much of a "fight", we both reverted once and stopped, and then started this discussion. Secondly, I'm not sure you quite understand the definition of androgyny. Read Androgyny. It merely means "referring to the combination of masculine and feminine characteristics" and "not fit cleanly into the typical masculine and feminine gender roles of their society". It's not like it'd be calling Nermal a transvestite or something, it's just saying he has masculine-like and feminine-like traits, which doesn't seem too out of line, considering how "cutesy" he looks/acts, how he was voiced by a female in the cartoons, etc. Sergecross73 msg me 17:35, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- Whatever your case, it's still opinion on his nature. Besides, he's ink and paint on celluloid, so determining androgyny is really a pointless and silly effort. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 21:57, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- A huge majority of this article is unsourced opinions, descriptions, and original description (So overwhelmingly so that I've never been motivated enough to do a whole clean up of the article.) I'm not sure I understand your hang up on this minor detail, but it doesn't really matter either way... Sergecross73 msg me 22:01, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- I find it interesting that you rejected someone else adding a description of Garfield that's actually from the comic strip while defending a description of Nermal that's nothing but an editor's invention. You don't see any contradiction in that? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 19:44, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- Did you read the whole comment? The emphasis wasn't that it was from the comic, but that the description's purpose ("meatball") was to be a punchline to a joke, not be an actual, helpful description for the character. Note how that is both the first, and more detailed, aspect mentioned in the edit summary. Sergecross73 msg me 19:56, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

- Why does the character Lenore keep on getting deleted. She was a REAL character in the U.S.Acres episode, "Stark Raven Mad". STOP deleting her unless someone have a valid reason WHY?: — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:46, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
- Here's a valid reason: The poor grammar in her description makes it unclear what her role in the show was. Here's another reason: The addition is unsourced. And a third reason: A rudimentary Google search on "'Garfield and Friends' Lenore" yields no reliable sources and instead returns a lot of fan-fiction. Until you can provide a source, Lenore will likely be removed. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:24, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
- Also, you're talking about a very minor character, who was only in that episode and was merely part of a spoof of a certain Edgar Allen Poe story (hence the name Lenore). We don't need to have every single Garfield and Friends character listed, do we? GVO8891 (talk) 02:37, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Factual inutility of "God's Proof" after ten years' experience
Since the end of the 80s, Eurologos no longer does test translations. Why?
Fundamentally: out of respect for the client, for the seriousness of their own professionalism and for at least three technical reasons based on linguistic quality.
1 – Eurologos celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in 2007: what does it still have to prove?
First and foremost, a multilingual translation firm that can boast many years of experience and work on the markets (international and with many offices!) no longer has anything to prove: not to have the true conditions and procedures intended to guarantee excellent (and not simply good quality) translations would be to lack respect for its future clients.
2 – A test translation is never probing: it is the work of in-house translators!
A test translation is never a guarantee for the subsequent translations to be produced for the fatally anxious client who requests it. This is the case for at least three reasons:
a – The very risky instability of freelance translators
There is nothing to guarantee that the translator who performs the test will be subsequently used (especially for "monolocalized" companies, the infamous "mailboxes" who employ freelancers): freelance translators also work – among other things – for other translation agencies;
b – 50 possible errors per line
The same translator can moreover make mistakes – up until his or her retirement – in translations that follow: even the best of them can make more than 50 errors per line, with lines that are also systematically highly changeable (this is the reason why Eurologos employs at least two translators and a terminologist per text, who are in fact employed in-house by its agencies);
c – The six translation-related criteria and the acceptability of a translation
There is a hierarchy of at least six assessment criteria that determine the level of acceptability of a translation (spelling, syntax, semantic faithfulness, terminology, geo- and socio-style, personal idiolect): no test translation can guarantee this future acceptability, whilst other conditions (see below) can!
In truth, the only circumstance under which a test translation can be meaningful is relative to the assessment of a very small highly personalized "mailbox" or of an isolated translator.
3 – Professionalism on the "global climate" which changes from day to day
If future clients ask for test translations, it is to attempt to "reassure themselves" of the quality of the translations to be performed.
But it is up to the true professionals to inform them on the matter and to educate them, naturally, in this translatological culture which, in this case, is not their own: to each their own specialization. It is up to the supply market – as is known – to inform and educate its own demand market!
The first service that a modern company renders to its clients indeed consists in offering them their professional expertise so as to bring them up to date and into line as regards their needs to buy competitively on the markets. The fact of carrying out the task without "flinching" in performing the requested test translation can be equated to, say, a weather agency having to provide a forecast to a television channel in order to prove its professionalism regarding the global climate, which is by definition highly changeable…
4 – Here is what is needed: multinationalization, translation memories and translation-related expertise that has proved itself over time.
It is however very simple. In order to select a good multilingual translation agency, three conditions have to be met:
a – Glocalism
The agency must have – in the country of the target languages and geo-styles – as many fully operational offices (with in-house translators, revisers, terminologists, graphic designers and webmasters) as there are languages to be translated: if only one translation language is required, a small local "monolocalized" agency may be selected. Moreover, how can a monolocalized agency in a single country and having a single language be in a position to check and validate a translated text (and not simply have it transposed by a freelancer)?
b – Translation memories
In addition to this first characteristic known as "glocal", that is to say global and local at the same time (making it possible to translate, check and validate – we are forever repeating ourselves on this most important point – texts in the markets of the target language), there is a need to check that the agency to be selected as partner has well-compiled translation memories to allow use of a precise phraseology, company technolects and pertinent terminology: even and above all for the future (in our world of countless specializations, there can be no more translators unduly presented as omniscient);
c – Modern translatological expertise
First and foremost one should never base oneself on what can be termed "God's proof" (the test translation) to "certify" the know-how of the agency in question, but instead on the last two characteristics (is the candidate agency glocally multinationalized with – what is more – translation memories?) and on the Knowledge Management of the translatological culture truly presented...
All clients, after reading these four explanations, will be able to perceive the laughable nature of a test translation when faced with the forms of assurance required to correctly select a multinational services provider.
But how much does this cost?
When we speak of quality, of truly guaranteed quality, we have a tendency to fire the question "how much will it cost?". This is the naturally preoccupying question that is put forward. The answer is just as surprising: it does not cost more (it even often costs less) than the services of "mailboxes". Indeed, the monolocalization of said agencies in a single country both forestalls the checking and validation of texts received from freelancers and the achievement of economies of scale which come with the multinationalization of their offices (alas unrealized).
It is in the interest of clients to know this before selecting their partner suppliers.

D.C. Gheewala, J.
1. Summary dismissal of a petition challenging the legality and validity of an order of dismissal from service of a class IV employee serving as a Nayak in the office of the Inspector General of Prisons, after 15 years of service had led to this Letters Patent Appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent.
2. The appellant was appointed as a Nayak in the office of the Inspector General of Prisons in the month of March 1961. On 12-5-1975, he was arrested in connection which a prohibition offence, which ended in his conviction on 23-12-1975. He was sentenced to undergo imprisonment till rising of the court and to pay a fine of Rs. 100/- i d. S.I. for 20 days. The Inspector General of Prisons by an order dated 25-2-1976 dismissed the appellant from service without holding any inquiry relying solely upon his conviction by the Magistrate's Court and without even affording any opportunity to the appellant to have his say even regarding the quantum of punishment. No show cause notice was issued before passing the said order of dismissal. The appellant preferred an appeal abeit after the lapse of considerable time to the Gujarat Civil Services Tribunal which was numbered as Appeal No. 461/79. The said appeal was fixed for hearing on 5-11-79 and the Tribunal by a cryptic order dismissed the appeal on the ground of non-explanation of the delay which was occasioned in filing the said appeal. The petitioner thereafter in the month of December 1980 moved the High Court by way of Special Civil Application No. 3550/80 under Article 226 of the Constitution. The learned Single Judge by an order dated 12-12-1980 rejected the said petition in limine on the ground that the appellant bad approached the court after a delay of about 41/2 years from the date of original order of dismissal from service. The learned Judge, however, observed that the order of the High Court would not come in the way of the petitioner in making a representation to the Inspector General of Prisons for considering the appellant's case on sympathetic grounds. The petitioner accordingly made a representation but it met the same fate and it was rejected on 28-1-1981. The appellant, therefore, being aggrieved by the order of the learned Single Judge has preferred the present Letters Patent Appeal.
3. Mr. Rana, the learned Advocate appearing for the appellant raised the following five contentions for our consideration:
(1) No employee can be dismissed without a show cause notice being issued and the order of dismissal passed by the Inspector General of Prisons without issuing such a show cause notice was violative of Article 311(2) of the Constitution.
(2) Rule 14(2) of the Gujarat Disciplinary Conduct Rules enjoins a duty on the disciplinary authority to consider the circumstances of the case before passing the final order of punishment and of necessity imports the rules of natural justice and makes it obligatory to hear the delinquent in regard to the quantum of punishment.
(3) The offence for which the appellant was convicted was not one involving moral turpitude.
(4) Mr. Rana urged that the said order of dismissal having been passed in violation of principles of natural justice would be void ab initio and as such it would be honest and hence there would be no question of limitation; and lastly.
(5) Since the impugned order of dismissal was void ab initio the petition could not have been dismissed on the ground of mere delay. More particularly because the delay had caused no prejudice at all to the State whereas the petitioner himself had suffered the misery on that account-worse come to worse he could be denied backwages for the period of delay so that there was no detriment to the State and the petitioner alone suffered detriment on account of delay.
4. Mr. M.B. Shah, the learned Counsel appearing for the Respondents on the other hand urged that as there was delay of four years the learned Single Judge had rightly refused to exercise his discretion under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
5. Before dealing with the rival contentions it will be necessary to advert to the relevant rules of Gujarat Civil Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules. Rule 8 deals with the authority to institute proceedings and Rule 9 provides for the procedure for imposing major penalties. Rule 10 provides for action on the inquiry report. Rule II provides for procedure of imposing minor penalties and Rule 12 provides for communication of orders to the delinquent. Rule 14, however, provides special procedure in certain cases and the said rule reads as under:
14 Special Procedure in certain cases (1) Nothing contained in rules' or 9 shall apply:
(i) where a penalty is to be imposed on a Government servant on the ground of conduct which has led to his conviction on a criminal charge, or
(ii) where the Disciplinary Authority is satisfied for reasons to be recorded in writing that it is not reasw practicable to follow the procedure prescribed in the said rules, or
(iii) where the Government is satisfied that in the interest of the security of the State, it is not expedient to follow such procedure.
(2) In cases to which the provisions of Sub-rule (1) shall apply, the Disciplinary Authority may consider the circumstances of the case concerned and pass such order thereon as it deems fit,
Provided that the Commission shall be consulted before passing such orders in any case in which such consultation is necessary.
Mr. Shah, the learned Counsel for the Respondents heavily banked upon Clause (1)(i) of the above Rule 14 and urged that as the appellant was convicted on a criminal charge, the procedure provided under Rules 8 and 9 need not have been followed by the Disciplinary authority before passing the order of dismissal and hence the said order is unassailable. We shall, therefore, have to see whether the said Rule 14(1)(i) gives a blanket licence to the disciplinary authority for straightaway passing the order imposing the penalty, merely on the Government servant being convicted on a criminal charge without even affording an opportunity to the Government servant to show cause against the quantum of punishment. In a case reported at Service Law Reporter 1975(1) p. 277, which was decided by one of us (Thakkar, J. as he then was), the question of interpreting a similar Rule 14 of the Railway Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1968 came up for consideration. Before extracting the said Rule 14 of the Railway Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1968, which is almost pari materia with Rule 14 of the Gujarat Civil Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1971, it may be mentioned that in the said case also a Railway servant after 37 years of service was dismissed by a similar order without giving him any opportunity by the General Manager Western Railway, who was the disciplinary authority. Rule 14 of the Railway Servants (Disciplinary and Appeal) Rules, 1968 reads as under: '14 Special Procedure in certain cases.
Notwithstanding anything contained in Rules 9 to 13:
(i) Where any penalty is imposed on a railway servant on the ground of conduct which has led to his conviction on a criminal charge, or
(ii) where the disciplinary authority is satisfied, for reasons to be recorded by it in writing, that it is not reasonably practicable to hold an inquiry in the manner provided in these rules, or
(iii) where the President is satisfied that in the interest of the security of the State, it is not expedient to hold an inquiry in the manner provided in these rules; the disciplinary authority may consider the circumstances of the case and make such orders thereon as it deems fit;
Provided that the Commission shall be consulted where such consultation is necessary, before any orders are made in any case under this rule.
The learned Single Judge, before whom the legality and the validity of the said order was challenged, in terms observed in paragraph 7 of the judgment as under:
Rule 14(ii) at the highest may authorise dispensing with an inquiry in the sense of examination of witnesses and bearing the defence. However, it does not dispense with the requirement of Rules 9(2), 9(3) and 9(4) to the extent that they oblige the disciplinary authority to furnish to the railway servant concerned with a statement of relevant facts on the basis of which the imputations are made. It also obliges the disciplinary authority to afford an opportunity to the railway servant concerned, to state his case or to explain in his written statement the circumstances appearing against him. It is, therefore, clear that in so far as these requirements are not dispensed with by Rule 14(ii) there is non compliance on the part of the respondents and impugned order deserves to be nullified and quashed. Examining the matter from the other end there is nothing in Rule 14(ii) which authorises the disciplinary authority from dispensing with the requirement as regards affording of opportunity to show cause against the proposed penalty. Now, this is a very valuable right conferred by Rule 10(5). A right to make a representation to the disciplinary authority that even if he is found guilty of the fault alleged against him, there are extenuating circumstances which would justify imposing of a different or lesser penalty than the penalty proposed by the authority concerned, is an invaluable right. The railway servant may be able to show that having regard to the nature of the fault, the attendant circumstances, his length of service, the nature of the service put in the personal circumstances of the servant concerned, and having regard to other penalty a lenient view deserves to be taken.
It may be noted that in the said case also no inquiry was held and the order of dismissal was purported to have been passed in exercise of the powers vested in the disciplinary authority under Rule 14 (ii) of the Railway Servant (Discipline and Appeal) Rules. One of the grounds of challenge was that the impugned order was nullity inasmuch as it was not a speaking order both from the stand point of dispensing of the inquiry in the purported exercise of the powers under Rule (ii) as also from the point of punitive order imposing penalty of dismissal. The impugned order of dismissal in the present case has been passed on similar lines. The only difference being that the appellant was convicted for a criminal offence by the court of competent jurisdiction. The learned Single Judge in the said case went on to observe:
It must be realised that quantum of punishment is a very delicate question which requires to be resolved by the competent authority, be it a judge presiding over a criminal court or a disciplinary authority exercising disciplinary jurisdiction. The punishment imposed must neither be too excessive nor too lenient. It must be just, proper adequate; at the same time not too harsh nor too lenient. It has either to be deterrent or reformative. And in the absence of a representation of the other side, it would be impossible for the disciplinary authority to take a just decision on the question of quantum of sentence. It must be emphasised that nothing turns on the aspect that circumstances oblige the disciplinary authority to dispense with the inquiry. It cannot be contended that if no inquiry is held there is no purpose or point in extending the opportunity to show cause against the proposed penalty. The finding of guilt has nothing to do with the quantum of punishment. The quantum of punishment must depend upon the surrounding circumstances specified earlier. The right to show cause against the proposed penalty can be meaningfully availed of, even if no opportunity is afforded to the railway servant concerned to participate in the inquiry. He can show that even if he is guilty be is entitled to a more lenient treatment than proposed to be meted out to him having regard to the extenuating circumstances which are known to him alone and which he alone can place before the disciplinary authority.
The learned Judge in the course of his judgment also considered the implications of not giving opportunity to a servant who might have been convicted for a criminal offence, and observed as under:
There is nothing in Sub-rule (1) of Rule 14 to show that it authorises the disciplinary authority to dispense with the requirements regarding affording opportunity to state his defence or to show cause against the proposed penalty. All that it authorises the officer concerned is to pass appropriate orders to the effect that having regard to the fact that there is a conviction by a criminal court, it is sufficient to obtain the comments of the servant concerned on the point of guilt and on the point of quantum of punishment. In Rule 14(i) also the emphasis is only on the aspect of dispensation with the inquiry and not with the requirements from the stand point of other rules. So Sub-rule (1) of Rule 14 in terms refers to the passing of appropriate orders in the context of an expediency to hold an inquiry against the servant concerned in the manner prescribed by the rule. Here also what is dispensed with is the strict compliance with the manner preserved by the rules and not with the entire inquiry. And at any rate it also makes no reference to the requirement relating to affording an opportunity to show cause against the penalty proposed to be inflicted.
Apart from the aforesaid decision of this High Court, there is high authority for the proposition even if a Government servant is convicted by a court, if disciplinary action is intended to be taken against him in regard to the act for which he was convicted, he must be afforded an opportunity to be heard in regard to the quantum of punishment. No penalty can be imposed on him for the alleged misconduct without giving him reasonable opportunity to show cause against the penalty proposed to be inflicted on him. The Supreme Court has made an authoritative pronouncement on this question and has imported the rules of natural justice in the rule in the decision referred to next hereinafter.
6. The scope and ambit of the Rule 14 (i) of the Railway Servants (Discipline & Appeal) Rules, 1968 was also on the anvil, in a case reported at 1975 S.C.P. 2216 (Divi. Personnel Officer v. T.R. Challappan) and the Supreme Court in para 21 observed as under:
The concluding part of Rule 14(1) merely imports a rule of natural justice in enjoining that before taking final action in the matter the delinquent employee should be heard and the circumstances of the case may be objectively considered. The word 'consider' in the last part of Rule 14(1) merely connotes that there should be active application of the mind by the disciplinary authority after considering the entire circumstances of the case in order to decide the nature and extent of the penalty to be imposed on the delinquent employee on his conviction on a criminal charge. This provision confers power on the disciplinary authority to decide whether in the facts and circumstances of a particular case what penalty, if at all, should be imposed on the delinquent employee.
These observations also make it clear that mere conviction on a criminal charge would not dispense with the requirement of atleast an application of mind on the part of the disciplinary authority on the question of quantum of punishment after affording reasonable opportunity to the delinquent to be heard in regard to the quantum of punishment. Mere conviction, therefore, cannot be utilised for passing an order of dismissal blindfoldedly without bearing the delinquent on the question of sentence. Needless to add that this would be so even in case where the disciplinary authority exercises powers under Rule 14 of the Gujarat Civil Service (Discipline and Appeal) Rules.
7. In H.P. Thakore v. State of Gujarat 20 GLR 109 very important guidelines for consideration of disciplinary authority were laid down before the authority proceeded to inflict the punishment. The learned Judge in the said case also observed that disciplinary authority has to determine just penalty-neither too lenient nor too harsh, and he must make an honest attempt to ascertain just penalty. It is, therefore, clear that the disciplinary authority even for its own benefit to arrive at a just decision has to afford an opportunity to the delinquent to have his say, on the quantum of punishment. This circumstance would only be within the knowledge of the delinquent and without having the benefit of the same the disciplinary authority would be unable to strike a balance between too harsh a punishment and too lenient a penalty. In the instant case the Disciplinary authority had denied himself the said benefit.
8. The third contention of Mr. Rana was that the offence for which the appellant was convicted was not one involving moral turpitude. We would, however, refrain from expressing ourselves on the said contention inasmuch as it is unnecessary to do so having regard to the view we are taking on the first two submissions. The trump-card which the respondents have been successfully flourishing so far, is that of delay and Mr. Shah, the learned Counsel for the Respondents who had no answer on merits has strongly banked upon the same arsenal before us as well. Mr. Shah, vehemently urged that if the appellant had rushed to the Tribunal within 45 days after the order of dismissal was served on him as he was required to do then the respondents would have passed suitable orders after issuing notice to him and when the appellant had approached the High Court after a delay of 41/2 years, this would not be a proper case to interfere with the discretion exercised by the learned Single Judge. In support of his contention, Mr. Shah drew our attention to some decided case viz. State of Madhya Pradesh v. Bhailal Bhai Ors. : [1964]6SCR261 ; Lachhman Dass v. Union of India : 1977CriLJ1574 and P.S. Sadasivaswamy v. State of Tamil Nadu : [1975]2SCR356 . But for the reasons to be recorded hereinafter we must say that the Respondents are not entitled to succeed on the ground of delay.
9. There cannot be any blanket rule and as such there is none that a delay of a particular period should be considered to be unreasonable irrespective of the facts of a particular case. Unreasonable delay is a relative concept and what may be considered to be unreasonable delay in one case may not be so in the facts of a circumstances of another case. And we are fortified in our above inference by the observation of the Supreme Court in a case reported at : (1974)ILLJ221SC (R.S. Deodhar v. State of Maharashtra). In the said case, there was a delay of more than 10 or 12 years in filing the petition since the accrual of the cause of the complaint and it was contended by the Respondents in the said case as it was contended by Mr. Shah before us that this unreasonable delay was sufficient to disentitle the petitioner to any relief in a petition under Article 32 of the Constitution. While repelling the said contention the Supreme Court observed:
The Rule which says that a Court may not inquire into belated or State claims is not a rule of law but a rule of practice based on sound and proper exercise of discretion, and there is no inviolable rule that whenever there is delay the Court must necessarily refuse to entertain the petition. The question is one of discretion to be followed on the facts of each case.
It may also be noted that the principle on which the Court proceeds in refusing reliefs to the petitioner on ground of laches or delay is that the rights which have accrued to others by reason of the delay in filing the petition should not be allowed to be disturbed unless there was reasonable explanation for the delay. It may be noticed that the claim for enforcement of the fundamental right of equal opportunity under Article 16 is itself a fundamental right guaranteed under Article 32 and this Court which has been assigned the role of a sentinel on the qui me for protection of the fundamental rights cannot easily allow itself to be persuaded to refuse relief solely on the jejune ground of laches, delay or the like.
10. Again, the court will frown upon delay and latches on the part of the aggrieved party, if in the meanwhile the rights of innocent persons have intervened. And howsoever just the grievance of the aggrieved party may be if by condoning the delay, rights of other innocent persons were to be adversely affected or jeopardized then the court would be reluctant to brook such delays. In the instant case, we do not feel that the petitioner who was only class IV servant i.e. on the lowest rung of the ladder and who claims nothing more than reinstatement, (he does not claim backwages for the duration of the period of delay) is likely to adversely affect the rights of any innocent third person.
11. Again, in a case reported at : [1969]2SCR824 (Tilokchand Motichand v. H.B. Munshi), while dealing with question of delay, the Supreme Court in para 11 of the judgment observed as under:
The question is one of discretion for this Court to follow from case to case. This court need not necessarily give the total time to the litigant to move this Court under Article 32, even though he may be within statutory limitation. Similarly in a suitable case this Court may entertain a petition even after limitation. It will all depend on what the breach of the Fundamental Right and the remedy claimed are and how the delay arose.
It is true that in the instant case, the appellant has not approached the Tribunal within time. But then the Tribunal could well have taken a broad view and condoned the delay on condition that he would not be paid backwages for the period of delay even if he succeeds. Taking into consideration the fact that the impugned order to dismissal was by itself an order which was null and void being violative of the principles of natural justice coupled with the fact that the petitioner was on the lowest rung of the socio-economic hierarchy we feel that he has been a victim of a grave injustice, the redressal of which need not be blocked merely on the score of delay. Chill penury and stark deprivation were his lot after his summary dismissal and if this Court were to disown him only on the ground of delay, it would be setting its seal on an indefencible and unsustainable act of injustice. We, therefore, feel that in the instant case, despite the delay, this Court need not be slow in exercising its jurisdiction under Article 226 for redressing an injustice. The Special Civil Application preferred by the petitioner must be treated as one challenging the original order of dismissal from service since the Tribunal refused to entertain the appeal. The order passed by the learned Single Judge also shows that it was heated as a petition under Article 226 directed against the impugned order of dismissal (that is why there is a reference of 41/2 years of delay). We feel that the appellant (Ori. Petitioner) need not be denied justice in the facts and circumstances of the case since delay will hurt only the petitioner and will not occasion any prejudice and detriment to the State by what we propose to do. The petitioner will not get any backwages for the period of delay. Once we totally deny him backwages for the period of delay there can be no prejudice or detriment to the State. Thus by our order delay will cause prejudice and will solely hurt the petitioner. In this view of the matter the petitioner need not be obliged to submit to a void order of dismissal. All that he will get is an opportunity to work and earn his bread at the sacrifice of backwages which he will have to forego on account of the delay in approaching the court.
The appeal is therefore allowed. The order dismissing the petition is set aside. The impugned order of dismissal dated February 25, 1976 as per Annexure-B is held to be null and void and is quashed and set aside. The petitioner will be treated as having continued in service throughout without any break. The petitioner shall be given posting latest by January 15, 1982.
12. With regard to backwages, having regard to the fact that the petitioner-appellant himself was responsible for delay in approaching the court, the petitioner shall not be entitled to backwages for the period preceding the date of the institution of the petition giving rise to the appeal viz. December 9,1980. He will, however, be paid backwages with effect from that date i.e. with effect from December 9, 1980 till the date of reinstatement. The computation shall be made latest by February 15, 1982 and payment shall be made by the end of February 1982.
13. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner has suffered for a very long time and the punishment already suffered in connection with loss of backwages is a considerable one and having regard to the attendant circumstances, the respondents will not be permitted to institute a fresh inquiry on the same charges.
14. In computing the backwages and fixing the salary of the petitioner, as per the aforesaid directions, increments that the petitioner would have earned in due course shall be taken into account along with all other consequential benefits. The leave that he would have earned if the impugned order had not been passed shall, however, not be credited to his leave account. The failure to comply with any of the aforesaid orders may be treated as contempt of Court. Rule made absolute to the aforesaid extent.

Spring Cleaning Tips Checklist_part 2
4. Play music! Cleaning always seems to move along more quickly if you?re energized by your favorite songs on the stereo.
5. Take along a box from room to room. As you?re cleaning, fill the box with all those things that you don?t need any more. When you have completed the spring cleaning, haul it on down to your nearest Salvation Army or Goodwill Thrift Store to become someone's found treasure.
6. If you are not ready for a thorough top to bottom spring cleaning project, consider cleaning out a draw or a closet. The sense of accomplishment far exceeds the simplicity of the task and just might motivate you to tackle the rest of the job.

Dinosaurs are a hot topic again, thanks to Jurassic World. The spotlight's been on cloning, but technology is providing many new insights in to the prehistoric era. These days, you'll find palaeontology is less shovel and pick, more high-tech analysis.
"New technology makes it possible for palaeontologists to find out things about dinosaurs and the prehistoric past that we never knew before," says Phillip Currie, who runs the University of Alberta's undergraduate and postgraduate palaeontology courses. Palaeontology may have started out with amateur adventurers digging up bones by accident and arranging them in whatever shape they saw fit, but in recent years it has become increasingly technical.
"The latest technology makes our jobs easier. For instance, GPS technology helps us in the field. We can turn it into GIS information to locate remains more accurately."
Digital visualisation technology
There's a lot more. Digital visualisation technology helps scientists restore dinosaur skulls and 3D laser scans help experts understand how extinct animals moved. With finite element analysis, palaeontologists can work out how extinct animals lived and hunted. Apparently, sabre-tooth cats didn't use their huge sabres to get a grip on their larger prey: the teeth were too fragile to support the cat's weight. With CT scans, scientists can see through iron carbonite and the plaster casting to map fossils.
"You can put a dinosaur leg bone inside a hip socket and get some sort of an idea how the animal might have moved," Currie says. "But dinosaur bones are big and heavy. Put cat scan data in to a computer and modelling software gives you an idea of how the animal moved, how fast, how its brain worked, where on the body the blood vessels and muscles grew."
Phil Manning from the University of Manchester thinks that technology has turned palaeontologists from fossil hunters into forensic scientists.
"I call myself a geo-biologist, these days," he says.
Synchrotron fossil analysis
Manning is part of a team that uses Stanford University's synchrotron to analyse dinosaur fossils. Amongst other things, he's discovered that dinosaur bones had remarkable healing properties. Also, that it's possible to display pigment in archaeopteryx feathers and that there was a link between dinosaurs and early birds.
A synchrotron is a 3D X-ray imaging technique sometimes used in breast scans. Conventional X-ray imaging measures how much X-ray light gets through different parts of the tissue. With the synchrotron method, X-rays passing through an object are slightly distorted, or slowed down. Even tiny variations in the object's make-up will affect that distortion. Measuring this phase contrast can produce a very detailed, 3D picture of its internal structure.
"The synchrotron maps where the copper is and also the elements that surround it," Manning says. He explains that if the copper is surrounded by sulphur, it's likely to be inorganic, having leached in to the specimen from its environment. Surrounded by oxygen or nitrogen, it's more likely to be organic from the original animal.
Manning's team includes a geochemist, physicists, geologists and a computational zoologist.
"We have the potential to map organic molecules within a fossil and to understand the kinetics of what happens when something is preserved in the ground for 65 million years," he says. "Compared to what we used to do, it's like taking the Ancient Greek belief that there are only four elements and then showing someone a periodic table."
The University of Alberta has a free online introductory course for budding palaeontologists. Lots of the university's own students do the course in their gap year, but anyone in the world can sign up.
The course gives students a comprehensive overview of non-avian dinosaurs. It covers anatomy, eating, locomotion, growth, environmental and behavioural adaptations, as well as dinosaur origins and extinctions.
Even at this level, technology plays a part. Currie explains that students look at cat scans of dinosaur fossils, play interactive games and quizzes to help them learn about the prehistoric past. "The youngest person to pass the course was six years old," he says. "The boy's parents helped him with the technological jargon. He got 90 per cent."
Will we uncover hybrids?
Will all this new technology ever uncover the fossil of a hybrid dinosaur, like the terrifying Indominus Rex in Jurassic World? Currie doubts it.
"Hybrids today have to be closely related species - say, a buffalo and a cow. You get something in between, but usually the hybrid can't reproduce and the strain doesn't live on."
Currie believes that this is what probably happened with dinosaurs.
"We've uncovered some pretty weird animals over the years, but it's hard to say whether any of them are hybrids. That's because we have only discovered a tiny proportion of the animals that lived on Earth back then. We've found around 1,000 different species, which sounds a lot, but you have to remember that today alone there are 10,000 species of birds, 6,000 types of reptiles and 4,000 mammals. Dinosaurs lived for many millions of years," he says. "There would have been many, many more species around than just 1,000."
Manning believes that technology will be crucial to discovering more about those dinosaurs we do know about.
"There are thousands of specimens in museums all over [the world] waiting to show us their secrets," he says.

Merzouga Rally
Pal Anders Ullevaalseter comes in first, and Rosa Romero and Antonio Gimeno 11th and 12th, respectively.
This is as good as it gets folks. The final pre-Dakar races are now over. Riders and drivers have had their last chance to test the final touches made to their motorcycles and to gauge their feelings before the main event, the Dakar, where there is no margin for error. The latest was the 1180 km Merzouga Rally, comprising a prologue and five stages, one of which was a marathon stage. Riders Rosa Romero and Antonio Gimeno finished their last individual races with 11th and 12th place finishes, respectively, in the Pro category in a rally marked by the excellent atmosphere at all times in the common areas of the Xaluca hotel in Erfoud, Morocco.
Rosa Romero: "I'm extremely delighted with the Rally. And not just the result, which was excellent, but the overall performance. When you pursue an individual goal, everything is easier and it's all up to you. When you are part of a team, you have to learn things, get to know people, be aware of your strengths and weaknesses and adapt to each situation. I think we made progress each day in this respect and we gained a lot of confidence. And this is crucial for the Dakar. The bike responded perfectly and the race helped us check where we can make a few minor improvements, but nothing major. We just need to tweak the base, which is perfect. Mechanically, the bike is simple. It is light and very easy to drive."
Antonio Gimeno: "The 5th edition of the Merzouga Rally was awesome. A huge success. It is a tough race in terms of driving and navigating, not to mention physical endurance. The stages were long and you ride a lot off-road, in camel grass, in areas of fesh fesh, sand and dunes… lots of dunes!! The motorcycle behaved perfectly. It is light, high performance, and we adapted smoothly. The first test for both motorcycle and the rider was perfect. A 10! We shared six stages racing, improving every day, learning each other's weaknesses and skills. I think we made a lot of progress and have the confidence necessary to take on Dakar 2015. I think that the final result can be seen in the classification. By not making mistakes, navigating correctly and at a safe rhythm, we were able to 11th and 12th overall".

Call Center Automation Project for Major Metropolitan Transit Agency
DiRAD is providing a turn-key call center system from Interactive Intelligence that will provide advanced technology allowing the agents to handle massive amounts of calls and chats, while helping to manage costs and accountability at the agency.
The system will also integrate with the agency's Siebel Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, as well as their Oracle – Peoplesoft platform. In addition, DiRAD is providing a voice-enabled Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system to help the agency provide 24×7 service as well as a workforce optimization solution to maximize HR efficiency. Click here to read about how DiRAD partnered with a minority-owned business on the implementation.
Cloud-based Call Center for State Health Agency
This health department reached out to DiRAD for a solution to replace their aging Avaya ACD. While they spoke with many different vendors, none could offer the required features at such a competitive subscription-based price. And, since it was critical to the agency to have the system up and running as soon as possible, DiRAD was able to deliver their feature-rich ConnectRT solution in only two weeks.
DiRAD's ConnectRT now delivers thousands of calls per week for the agency, while the solution has exceeded its ROI many times over.
Payment Status Hotline for Busy New York City Agency
This particular agency was inundated with phone calls on a daily basis. The callers had one thing on their mind: when would they be receiving their subsidy check? DiRAD designed an IVR that directly integrated with the agency's Oracle system, providing real time payment status to callers. Since the IVR was implemented, callers can now receive their information 24/7, and the agency has realized significant cost savings due to the dramatically reduced need for resources.
Photo-Logging Application for Large State Child Welfare Agency
This mobile application allows field staff to securely record media, photos, and video on their own devices, and automatically encrypts and sends the media to the state's child welfare mainframe database, where it is stored under the appropriate case ID.
The application allows no viewing of the media, since it is locked and encrypted immediately. This prevents the device's user from sharing media, and protects it while in transit to the state's database. Data is automatically wiped from the device upon successful media transfer.
Inmate Status System for a Busy Jail
To handle the thousands of calls per week by often frantic callers trying to find the status of an inmate, this busy Florida jail contracted DiRAD to design an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solution. Hosted in DiRAD's cloud with no hardware or software at the customer location, the system is in constant contact with the jail's JMS system, receiving pushed files full of new inmate data at regular intervals. Click here to read a case study of how DiRAD solved the jail's problem through automation.
Complete Communications Solution for a Major Online University
DiRAD deployed a 550-seat Interactive Intelligence Call Center and Enterprise IP PBX. The system is integrated with the customer's Oracle and Salesforce.com platforms. As an extremely busy online university serving a global market, the college relies on the Interactive Intelligence system to field calls from a diverse population of prospective and current students.
The system was chosen for its ability to be customized and tailored to the needs of the school. As the college grows and adds offices around the country, the system will naturally evolve while providing a consistent user experience throughout the enterprise.
Statewide Community Alert System
With 14 juvenile detention centers scattered across this Northeast state, department officials wanted a system to alert neighboring communities of any escape events occurring at a specific facility. DiRAD was contracted to provide a cloud-based system that served the communities of all 14 centers. Community members are able to sign up for the service via the website. In the event of an escape, agency staff can quickly activate the alert system, which calls all web registrants for that specific community.

Coral Cove
If you are seeking a home with its own personal character, look no further than the charming homes of Coral Cove!
When looking for homes, some prospective buyers look for brisk uniformity and maintenance-free living, while others seek a unique property to call their own. If you are a buyer looking for the latter, Coral Cove may prove to be the perfect location for your next home. The West of Trail homes located in Coral Cove are anything but cookie-cutter. They range in style, age, and function from modest but elegant single-family homes to sprawling waterfront mansions. Waterfront homes are typically more expensive, some spanning into the millions. Meanwhile, landlocked homes are considerably more affordable. There is literally something to suit everyone's needs at Coral Cove!
The amenities at Coral Cove are also generous, featuring a fishing pier, community water access with a community boat ramp and boat dock, and a neighborhood park that is ideal for families with children or pets. For school-age residents, students are in a school district that includes education institutions such as Gulf Gate Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Riverview High. If these amenities aren't enough, then you are lucky because there is still so much more! Coral Cove's location places you within minutes to some of Sarasota's most attractive destinations while still remaining quiet and secluded.
Coral Cove is only about a mile from the Siesta Key causeway, situating you within minutes from one of Sarasota's most exciting destinations. Siesta Key Beach, ranked one of the top ten beaches in the United States multiple years by "Dr. Beach," is world-renowned for its sparking, azure waters and white quartz sands. Only a few minutes away from Siesta Key Beach rests the more secluded, but also stunning Lido Beach and St. Armands Circle, a world-class shopping and dining destination. Downtown Sarasota is also just a cool fifteen-minute car ride away.
If you are looking for more extraordinary shopping just minutes away, the Sarasota Square Mall is right nearby. This shopping mall features many popular stores including JCPenney, Macy's, and Sears. Located within the mall, the AMC Sarasota 12 Theatre shows all the hottest new movie releases. Right next to the mall is the Evalyn Sadlier YMCA, which is unique because it features an Olympic-sized swimming pool, water park, and diving pool, in addition to typical gym features such as traditional fitness classes, free weights, and cardio and weightlifting equipment.

If you're hung up on front-sight focus, you need to learn advanced ways to see and shoot Limited-Class iron sights.
In my 15 years of practical pistol competition, I've seen when the match winner was the one who hit the targets most of the time and didn't have a gun malfunction. I've also been on the line at the Bianchi Cup when the winner would be chosen by counting X's when the top guys cleaned the entire match. Technological revolutions have driven many of the advances, but informed shooters know there's really not that much difference in the shooting, except when you consider the development of optical sights.
Optical sights take away a big skill factor in practical shooting. After some experience, you'll find that a scope is faster and easier to shoot everywhere, even on very close targets. When the targets get past 15 yards or the scoring areas are reduced, the scope offers an incredible boost not only to accuracy but also to speed. Thus, it's easy to look at a modern IPSC Open Class pistol next to a Limited Class gun and convince yourself that there's no way they could run together, and you'd be right. While I won't insinuate stage scores can be equal, I will say that much of the limitation in shooting a Limited gun is in the shooter's mind. This article will primarily address getting past one of the most obvious limitations—iron sights.
The skills missing from optics relate to the multi-dimensional use of a conventional sighting system. A conventional sighting system includes the shooter's vision, the target, and the sights. These three things all exist in a common plane when using a scope. You can't miss seeing the dot, no matter if you're looking at it or not. All that's necessary to make even the most difficult shots with optics is to see the target clearly and be aware of the location and perhaps stability of the dot.
Iron sights up the ante, however. For most shooters, the target, sights, and visual focus aren't compressed into a single plane. This makes shooting iron sights more difficult than with a scope—unless you know some things about vision that can help you work around the problem.
Focus Types
We've been told forever that it's mandatory to watch the front sight to shoot a handgun well. That is absolutely not true. I have experienced several different types of visual focus using iron sights. For the sake of convenience, I have given them each a name and definition. It's imperative to understand that these focus types are descriptions of what might be experienced in different shooting scenarios and with different points of attention. The different focus types work because of the amount of time that's required to make the shot and follow through.
Vision Type 1: Shooting By Feel
For one shot on an extremely close target, this is "shooting by feel." I drive the gun to the target and pull the trigger. In Type 1, if you see a point-blank target, you can hit the target without regard to trigger control or sight picture. When this type of shooting is possible, I could do just as well with my eyes closed. This focus is normally not used at all in competition. You may, however, want to experiment with it in practice for reasons I detail later.
Vision Type 2: Through The Sights
This is an awareness of looking through my sights to the targets. I see the target in sharp focus while the sights are seen only peripherally. Type 2 is only useful on close, easy targets. In Type 2, the targets are easy to the point where all the time needed to follow through to make an accurate shot is the time it takes to shift focus from target to target. Peripheral vision shows everything necessary to position the gun on the target.
To engage Type 2 focus, I confirm alignment on the first target—I focus to the sights and see perfect alignment on the center of the target. I then shoot the other targets by focusing on each target, bringing the gun along with my eyes. But my focus stays on the targets. After I confirm alignment on the first target, I trust my index (the gun and target are aligned by the shooter's technique) to maintain alignment as I move the gun to the other targets. To cultivate this ability, do a lot of dry runs where you close your eyes and move the gun, opening your eyes to verify alignment at different points.
Vision Type 3: Shifting Focus
This is my most common visual experience in practical shooting. Type 3 is shifting focus from targets to front sight for each shot. In Type 3, the shots are now difficult enough that you must spend extra time to move the focus back to the front sight. That little hesitation gives the body the extra time it needs to follow through to make a more accurate shot. In this case, an accurate shot is one that is refined onto a more specific area on the target. When the focus shifts to the sight, the shot breaks, and my focus immediately shifts to the next target.
Vision Type 4: Front Sight Focus
On shots that are more difficult or important, I refine the sight focus in Type 3 to the point where I stay focused on the front sight until I see recoil lift it off the target. In Type 4, the shots are difficult enough that focusing back on the sight may not give enough time to reliably make the shot. On these targets, you must stay with the sight focus until you see the sight lift. You take time to call the shot exactly. The focus on the front sight is the same quality in Types 3 and 4; the difference is in the duration of time I stay focused on the sight.
Type 4 can apply to any shot or shots on a stage. It allows the shooter to take a little extra follow-through time to make a difficult shot, or one that looks a questionable as the shot is released.
Vision Type 5: Reactive Sighting
For extremely difficult shots, Type 5 vision is an awareness of watching the sight react to the pressure I'm putting on the trigger, and adjusting the pressure I'm putting on the trigger by watching the reaction of the sight. I have the sensation that my finger is connected to the front sight and that I "look" the shot off; that is, my eye breaks the shot, not my finger. In Type 5, the shot is tough enough that the quality of hold and alignment must be monitored all through the process of firing. I must see perfect alignment when the gun fires.
Further Vision Refinement
I modify some of the focus types by including "soft" and "hard" focus. This could be thought of as the balance between peripheral and central vision.
When more things are in focus but perhaps no single thing is seen with refined clarity, that's a softer focus. A harder, central vision type focus is more like looking through a viewing area so that whatever is centrally located is seen in detail, while anything outside the area is only vaguely identifiable. A hard focus can be either on the sight or the target.
Understanding hard and soft focus brings up an advanced possibility that many shooters will have trouble understanding: Seeing everything with a soft focus. It's an advanced idea only because it's not a normal impulse in pistol shooting.
By "seeing everything" I mean that nothing within the shooting area is intentionally paid greater attention than any other detail. There is the sensation that the sights and target, or targets, are all being seen with equal, adequate clarity to make the shots needed. This experience is most closely related to the Type 2 focus described earlier, with the difference being there is no hard look at each target. The best description I can offer is that it's the sensation that I see the targets, but then my vision pulls back and expands to include more things nearer to me. A soft focus extends the range of a Type 2 approach and, obviously, boosts speed another gear because you see and shoot the targets as a group, not as individual targets.
An ophthalmologist may say this is impossible, that you can't see more than one thing in focus at one time. I can. I get a lot of questions on this technique when I try to explain it. It's the will to do it that makes it possible, but not the effort. The harder you try to see everything, the more trouble you'll have.
When I discuss this soft focus idea, a lot of shooters can't grasp it. That's why I'm always asking students the question: "Ya follow?" Oftentimes they aren't following, so I then offer this explanation.
The first experience of a soft focus can happen away from the shooting range. Driving a car for instance. When driving, most people shift their focus from place to place: road to rearview mirror to speedometer to radio, and so forth. We look at what is deemed necessary to see at a given moment and then to the next thing. A car approaches from the rear and its image is reflected in the rearview mirror. Peripheral vision picks up on a change in this point within the driver's area of awareness and the eyes immediately zero in on the mirror to see the details of the approaching car. This, in shooting terms, is a Type 3 focus.
Related to shooting, a soft focus is easier to see using an optical sighted gun because seeing the dot requires no shift of attention. Certainly, the closer to the same area and plane the targets exist, and the closer they are to the shooter, the more likely a soft focus will be realized.
A soft focus is the feeling of seeing without looking, a feeling like it's possible to shoot all the targets without moving the eyes, and it's too hard to describe beyond that because, remember, we're not supposed to be able to do it. Then there's a drinking analogy: I can tell you from sunup to sundown everything about whiskey—how it's made, how it looks, what it tastes like—but you don't really know what whiskey is until you take a shot for yourself. Afterward, nothing I can say will replace the tasting experience. You know what whiskey is. Soft focus is the same: You will see it if you want to see it, and when you do, that's that. Ya follow?
Target Acquisitions
One of the big differences between the scores of top shooters and good shooters is in the time and quality of their target acquisitions. "Acquiring" a target should be thought of to include everything that precedes breaking the shot on the next target, beginning from the time the shot broke on the last target.
As such, becoming more comfortable with Type 2 and 3 focus can be a big difference to a shooter who's at the "good" level, and also exposes perhaps the greatest limitation of a "front sight focus" mentality. If a shooter only watches the front sight, he might know where the sight is but not where the gun is pointing, and also not where the gun needs to go.
About the only times I ever have the classic "watch the front sight" experience is on a really intense multiple-shot scenario, like shooting bowling pins, where seeing the current or next target doesn't require any special attention. When the targets are that close together, the sensation is like following the bouncing ball on one of those television sing-alongs: I see the sight all through recoil as it tracks up and down onto the next target and the next target. And even then it's not an intentional thing.
The more you open yourself up to different possibilities, the more often you'll experience mostly good things that perhaps are not "supposed" to happen. Gain enough experience and you'll find that adjustments are being made in your shooting without any conscious attention paid on your part. This is when pistol shooting begins to take on the character of an art rather than a skill.
In most practical shooting scenarios, though, the trick to fast target acquisitions is moving the eye to the next target as soon as you've seen what you needed to see on the current target. This applies no matter how hard or long it was necessary to have a sight focus on the previous target.
For most shots in IPSC, all that's ever required is to move the gun directly to each target and see the gun stop on the center of each target. The eye directs gun movement, and unless it locates and defines the place where the gun should go before the gun starts moving there, it's hard to move the gun directly to the target so that it's there as soon as you're ready to shoot.
It's important to understand that the head doesn't have to move to see the next target—the eyeball swivels in its socket. As the shooter's index moves the gun to that target, the eyeball remains focused on the target and will swivel back to a point where it's looking straight ahead when the gun is there.
To get the feeling of this, practice without shooting. Move the gun around on different targets and practice eye movement to see what the vision "feels" like. Line the gun up on the target, look at the sight, then look away without moving anything but the eyeball to the next target (seeing the target outside of the gun), then bring the gun to that point, keeping visual focus locked on the target. Keep the eyes moving.
To try this yourself, look at Type 2 targets in pairs instead of seeing them one at a time. The next target you're going to shoot stays in your peripheral vision. Learning to see the targets in pairs is really more a way of visualizing a stage than it is a shooting tactic. The important thing you have to remember is that you always have some place for the gun to go, and that you're always aware of where it's going next.
Don't Get In A Box
At the range, these focus types describe visual sensations rather than definable techniques. You don't have to use Type 2 on a certain target, or Type 4 on another. When you're shooting well, your brain will automatically select the right vision for the right target if you allow it to. Forcing it to see a certain way slows you down.
However, if you are aware of these different visual sensations, you can see them during practice or matches and learn more about your own shooting skills. Then, on days when things aren't flowing, being able to size up a target sequence based on these different focus types is another tool that can help get a shooter through a stage in good shape, and maybe move back into the flow where everything happens smoothly and easily.
You must understand that is limiting to plan to see a particular focus type on a stage or target. Planning to see something, and seeing it, is probably better than seeing nothing, but that's not the way it has to happen. You might experience a Type 4 on a close Type 1 target, and that's not right or wrong. I have, for instance, been working at extreme speed on close targets and all of a sudden been keenly aware of feeling every little movement in the trigger. This wasn't intentional, nor was it necessary to hit the target: it was only something I noticed. The point is to notice it. We tend to wait on a rational explanation of possibilities before we can allow ourselves to open up and pay attention to what we see and feel. There is really no difference between being limited by thoughts that a front sight focus is necessary and being limited by thinking that a target focus is necessary. They're both limitations and, therefore, constricting.
So how do you learn all this? Pay attention. Observe. You can't alter what you do until you know what you do. If you pay attention to what you see and how you feel when you shoot, rather than counting points and analyzing times, then you'll be started on what may be a very rewarding journey. Ya follow?

Money Truck
Your job is to deliver the gems to the store house as fast as you can. Of course, you don't want to lose any of it since those stones are pretty valuable and might cause you your job. That is what you don't want to lose since you would need the money that you receive every month to support your family. Your family would starve if you don't have a job. In these days, it isn't easy to find a job. That is why; you need to take care of your job if you have one. Everybody wants a job, so you need to value your job even if it is just a truck drivers. There are many drivers out there that would want to be on your shoe. In this game, you would need to deliver the gems dug up in a quarry, but you don't have to do anything with that other than delivering them. As soon as the gems are loaded at the back of the truck, you need to drive your truck as fast as you can. But be careful when driving since you might have an accident and you can't go further continue with the delivery.

The last time I was in Target, I spotted a pair of denim lace shorts on the clearance rack. They were really cheap and I mulled over buying them. I convinced myself I didn't need them (after all, I was in Target to just buy sunscreen and I had no business even browsing the clothes section!). So I put them back on the rack but I'm obviously still thinking about how cute they were. Every time I'm shopping, it's a struggle of need versus want!
I paired this pair of denim lace shorts with a simple floral tank, blush crossbody bag, and flat white sandals. I could see myself wearing this outfit to a barbecue or for walking around the boardwalk at night. I may just go back to Target to see if they still have the shorts!
