S&W Walther PPK
Hey all,
November is turning into a VERY good month for me, financially. It's one of those rare months where I get paid three times (I'm paid every two weeks), plus due to the Hurricane I have nearly 40 hours of OT this week alone.
As a result of having a little extra "fun money" this month, plus some personal things going VERY well, I've decided to look into getting the gun I've wanted since I was 12, the Walther PPK.
Which, of course, is more of a S&W PPK now....
I've heard VERY mixed reviews of the newer S&W PPK's...anyone here own one? They seem to be really hit-or-miss with reliability...
I'm looking at getting a PPK, not a PPK/S, but that may change pending review. While this is a 'grail gun' of sorts for me, reliability is an issue since I carry every weapon I own...I don't want a safe queen.
Any advice, opinions, experience, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

Rewind a couple or four decades and the PPK was just about the only game in town if you had need of a small semi. My Interarms has logged lots of miles and I was glad to have it handy.
Today, there are more practical choices. But, these don't fit into the holy grail catagory and lack the 'cool' factor as James Bond didn't carry one. Better carry leather and ammunition choices are available today also.
My PPK hasn't seen daylight in several years. The aftetrmarket tritium lamps are now dull and I imagine the DA trigger would still feel like about 20 pounds. Just a personal comment, but one Kahr 9X19 has more utility value than a bucket full of S&W PPKs.
No 'dis, but you asked.

It seems that S&W has, at this point, worked out most of their teething issues with their PPK. My suggestion is to go over to waltherforums.com. There is a great group of folks there that can answer any Walther question you'll ever have.

I have a S&W PPK/S it's a great little gun. It's accurate, and fun to shoot.
My wife uses it for her car gun,she keeps it in the console,and she carrys a Ruger LCP.
They are a little heavy for every day carry,but I also have always wanted one since the James Bond movies.
I also have a 1941 Walther PP, and 2 Walther P-38's
I say go ahead and buy it, you wont regret it.

I had a S&W PPK that I gave to my father. Great gun, very fun to shoot, and more accurate than you will ever believe. I really mean it too that little gun is super accurate. I don't regret giving it to my father, he needed a small gun and I already had others I could carry so it was worth it. Although I am picking up a Sig 232 hopefully in the next month to replace it. Somewhere down the road I plan on getting another PPK in .32ACP for strictly a fun range gun.
The gun does require a break in period though. It comes very stiff from the factory but that can be expected. Also since the gun is a blowback design it is prone to limp wristing. If you keep a proper grip though you should have no problems. I personally have never had a jam of any kind shooting my PPK, new shooters I bring to the range have.

In the same boat
Hey Vireye, I am in the same boat as you. I do not own a PPK, but I got to put about 20 rounds through a PPKS at a shooting fair a couple of years ago. I was with a buddy and we said, almost for a joke, that we had to shoot the James Bond gun. I also had heard a lot of varying reviews of the PPK from this very forum. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed shooting it - as was my buddy. We both resolved to someday acquire one - for the same reason as you, just for fun. I keep a list of guns I want to acquire and it currently sits at #5 on the list, which for me means about 3 years away. I hope it works out for you. There is nothing quite like walking into your LGS with money in hand knowing you are there to buy!

I have both the S&W and Interarms PPK and PPK/s models. My S&W PPK is a 2009 model and has been flawless, the PPK/s is a fixed re-call model and at times a bit of a jammaster but last time to the range and a change in ammo I went thru a box of 50 rounds and no problems. The S&W models have a longer tail on them and has stopped any "slide bite" I get with the IA models. I like the looks of the Interarms PPK(s) as they are right from the original design but I find both of mine like to FTE/FTF on occasion. I think in all my jam cases it is the type ammo I'm using more than any issues with the guns. Any of the PPK's are fun to shoot and for me more accurate than I am.

Although I don't own one, the general consensus on the S&W PPK's seems to be that they had some teething problems early in production, and there was a recall, but the recent ones are very, very good. I've examined several, and asides from having no apparent flaws in workmanship, the DA trigger pulls seemed smoother and lighter than the Interarms / Mid-South Ind. and Manurhin guns I've examined.
Speaking of Interarms and Manurhin, although most of their guns look great, remember that you're NOT going to get factory service for one!

I bought my first PPK in 1968 and paid $98 for it.
Don't remember why I got rid of it.
I bought an Interarms PPK/S in late 70's and paid $219 for it.
Don't remember why I got rid of it.
I heard that Smith and Wesson had worked out the bugs and bought one a couple of years ago. I have shot ammo from two different manufacturers and two different weights and have had no issues at all. This gun seems to be smoother than either of the German guns.
I am planning on keeping it although I do not shoot it a lot.

I get a great feeling every time I hold my S&W PPK/s, in answer to all complaints I say "This is not my carry gun", it's a work of art. It doesn't have to do what a throw away plastic gun can, and long after I'm dead someone else will admire it, assuming people don't vote for anti gunners.
The caliber is way too small, the capacity is small, the safety is in the wrong place and functions weird, the mag release is in the right place, but since I'll never carry it none of that matters.
For people who choose one or a few guns and only guns with carry potential it might not be the best choice, but as a functional work of art that will be valuable for hundreds of years it certainly is. One of my guns is for carry, not admiration, the other 50 some are only for admiration and shooting for fun.
CNC produced 416 stainless triggers to replace the plastic triggers on Colt Mustangs, Mustang Plus II's, MK IV Government .380's and Sig P238's and P938's. Plus Colt Mustang hardened 416 guide rods, and Llama .32 and .380 recoil spring buttons, checkered nicely and blued.

My old interarms stainless PPK has logged a LOT of miles since I bought it about 30 years ago. It still gets used and carried. I'm one of the people who think you should shoot anything you're going to carry. Consequently mine has had thousands of rounds fired through it and looks it. Never once has it failed to operate when fed quality ammunition. I wouldn't change a rubmark or scratch for ANYTHING. I like it JUST like it is.

I put 150 rounds through one at a range with zero issues. I almost bought one a few months back, but I will be leaving the states for a few years and couldn't take it with me. After reading all the horror stories, I was surprised at how accurate it was. Super easy to shoot, although the DA is pretty heavy. Given the weapon's purpose, that could be a good thing as well.

I have a stainless in .32. Fun to shoot and very accurate. It is a bit on the heavy side for carry.

I have a PPK/S whose blue was well worn when when I received it. I swear the previous owner must of had acid hands. The finish hasn't effected it's performance operation or accuracy wise. My FFL holder that I use bought one for his wife to carry in her purse. She carried it for sometime and loved it. One day her purse got stolen and my FFL holder replaced it for her with a Sig 232 and she had to complain for a whole year before he replaced it with another PPK/S.

PPK/S all the way
I have a PPK/S and I love it. I shot it against a fellow Officer from another Dept. He was shooting a full size Duty 9mm. I was using my small off duty PPK/S. My target was much better than his. Now I was in the course of running a Academy Class at the time and each day at lunch break we would choke down a burger and head to the range to burn up some ammo. So yea I was in the grove. This PPK/S is a 380 acp and the only problem I had with it was due to a bad mag. It works great I say go for your grail and get one.

My S&W PPK/s has been 100% since I bought it in 2009. It did go back for the factory safety recall.
But other than that it has been great.

While looking at the PPK, I stumbled across a Walter PPS 9mm and was smitten. It is of course a Walther and, it is a Walther that was actually made by Walther in Germany. After a little internal debate, the PPK lost to the PPS. I have not regretted the decision. It is accurate and reliable.
I might suggest that if you want a PPK, why not hold your money back and buy when Walther ends their partnership with S&W? That way you will end up with a German made Walther. If you can't wait, take a look at the PPS, it just might surprise you.

I paid $495.00 for a used PPK/s.
I shot 50 rounds of .380 through it.
I not only didn't like it - I hated the fact that I had close to $500 tied up in a gun I knew I'd never shoot.
I sold it for $495.00.
PPK - PPK/s is like that though...
Either love it or hate it - there's not much in between.
& yes - the PPk, PPK/s had also been a "grail" gun for me since I saw my fisr James Bond movie 45 or so years ago..

I have an Interarms PPK 380 which was also my holy grail gun....now its my office gun. Its not an ideal carry gun given the other options available today, but if the weight and caliber work for you, thats great.
Why not pick up an Interarms version. I've seen them in the $400-$500 range for excellent condition

Thus far the advice has been excellent all, thanks!
May look in to trying to find an Interarms PPK/S.
As far as carrying it goes, I have a preference for smaller calibers. No idea why, I just always gravitate towards them.
I know there are more ideal carry guns...I have a Glock 30 that I use as an EDC (and a Sig P228R I carry very occasionally).
There have been a few incidents lately that made me wish I owned a smaller weapon, preferably in .380, as a BUG. Plus there are times were even the G30 is a bit difficult to conceal due to width (when I wear a suit, for example).
I also just love that classic PPK look...

Gotta just love the PPK and PPKs. I had a couple of S&W PPKs, but ended up selling them. There was not anything wrong with them- in fact they were reliable and accurate. Both were .32s.
Before you drop the big bucks for a new S&W PPKs, try to find a Walther German made one. There is a world of difference in quality. I ended up getting rid of those two becuase I found some older, German made ones.
If you are dead set on getting a new one, then I would wait. S&W and Walther are in the process of undoing their business relationship, and very soon PPKs will be once again made in Germany!

BRT is the answer to Delhi's traffic woes: Expert
New Delhi, Jan 4 (IANS) Delhi's much-criticised Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), which all its political parties agree should be scrapped, can solve its traffic woes and reduce road accidents, if extended all over the city, Dinesh Mohan, an IIT professor and one of India's acknowledged transport experts, said.
Delivering a talk on 'Accidents, mythologies and science of traffic safety' at the India International Centre here Friday evening, Mohan said the 5.7 km long BRT corridor in South Delhi was better than the one in Ahmedabad and should not be scrapped.
"If the Delhi Metro was built on a stretch of a few kilometres only, would it have been successful? The BRT has to be extended all over the city to segregate traffic and only then will people realize its worth," Mohan told IANS.
"There is no problem with the design and in fact it's better than Ahmedabad," added the Volvo Chair Professor Emeritus at IIT Delhi.
According to Mohan, an uninformed campaign by vested interests, media organisations and senior government officials resulted in the BRT project not taking off in the national capital.
When asked about the traffic snarls on the stretch, Mohan said the snarls were not limited to just the BRT corridor and took place "everywhere in the city during peak hours."
The BRT has remained a controversy's child ever since its inception in 2008. Following the initial South Delhi corridor, a court case sealed the fate of the project and construction of 14 similar corridors was put on hold.
The Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) has said that commuters would benefit if the BRT was scrapped. Delhi's previous chief minister, Sheila Dikshit, who was a strong votary of the project, had finally acknowledged its problems during the election campaign and said it would be scrapped despite crores of public money being spent on buidling it.

The Windy Day
Jacquie Hunt
Antique and float glass, painted. An exhilarating autumn day with a sense of foreboding as winter approaches. A beech tree stripped of its last leaves; crows unsettled in the treetops. Black and white emphasis the drama, the spontaneous method of painting reflects the playfulness and delight of the day, swapping from light to dark. I work with flat glass using traditional painting and staining techniques, printing, sandblasting and incorporating metals in firings. I find inspiration in natural forms and materials, working from quick sketches and photos to create representational or abstract images. I enjoy the opportunities that glass offers for playing with light and contrast.

Freedom for NJ man jailed in bite-mark case
Freedom for NJ man jailed in bite-mark case
Dec. 17, 2013
SOMERVILLE, N.J. (AP) — Nearly 20 years after listening as a jury found him guilty of a murder he denied committing, Gerard Richardson on Tuesday heard a judge apologetically dismiss his case after DNA testing showed that a bite mark that played a key role in his conviction couldn't be linked to him.
"I wish I had words for this event, but I don't," state Superior Court Judge Julie Marino said. "You've been through a tremendous ordeal, one that none of us in this room can relate to. I hope this won't be the defining moment of your life, but that it becomes an anecdote."
Richardson was released on bail in late October on the strength of DNA testing done by the Innocence Project that showed that a bite mark taken from the back of the victim in 1994 couldn't be matched to Richardson.
Richardson was convicted largely on the bite-mark evidence, but defense attorneys have increasingly challenged such evidence in recent years. An Associated Press analysis this year found that at least two dozen defendants either convicted or charged with rape and murder using bite mark evidence have been exonerated since 2000.
After a five-minute hearing, the 48-year-old Richardson said he was looking forward to spending Christmas with his family, a group that includes three sons, three daughters and 10 grandchildren.
"I have a lot of presents to buy," he said with a smile.
Richardson was convicted in 1995 of the murder of 19-year-old Monica Reyes, whose body was found in a ditch in Bernards Township in north-central New Jersey. Richardson has conceded that he was involved in drugs at the time and wasn't a model citizen, but he always denied killing Reyes. He said he never gave up hope that he would be exonerated, even in his darkest hours.
"It's like the judge said, nobody can imagine what I went through, but I made it," he said. "Now I've got bigger things ahead."
Through a spokesman, the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office declined to comment on the case. The prosecutor's office didn't oppose Richardson's release on bail in October, and had been given until Tuesday by Marino to decide whether to retry him.
Barry Scheck, co-founder of the Innocence Project, said although Richardson's case is closed, the group would continue to seek to have the DNA results put into a state database in hopes of finding Reyes' killer. Vanessa Potkin, a senior staff attorney with the Innocence Project, said legislation is pending in New Jersey that would make it easier for private testing labs to get their results into the state's database.
Richardson's older brother Kevin agreed that the quest for justice must go on.
"There's now closure as it relates to our family, but we don't ever want to lose sight of the fact that a young woman lost her life and that her family deserves closure, too," he said.

BELLINGHAM - State Secretary of Education Matthew Malone paused when his audience erupted in a round of applause on Monday. The reaction followed a comment that rang true with many in attendance: "I think we test too much."
Malone was speaking at the Bellingham School District's orientation meeting, and although he believes testing and assessment of both students and educators is important, he added, "What we are doing now is like assessment gone wild."
There is, however, a happy medium that can only be reached by good communication between educators and government, he said.
Malone was the first of several speakers to address about 250 educators and administrators who returned to school Monday after summer vacation. Students are scheduled to start on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
Malone touched on a variety of educational issues and thanked the teachers for the work they do.
Superintendent Edward Fleury said he extended an invitation to Malone to visit after meeting him at a conference.
"I saw him recently at a superintendent's conference and invited him … he lived up to his word," Fleury said, adding that Malone hopes to visit each district in the commonwealth and return to Bellingham after school starts.
"I think today's message was very positive," Fleury said. "We are looking forward to doing a lot of good work this year."
During his speech, Malone walked around the room engaging those in attendance. At one point, he wagered $5 if someone could correctly pronounce Lake Webster's (in the town of Webster) original name - a bet he lost to Eileen Tetreault, the lower grade principal at the middle school, when she confidently and correctly pronounced Chaubunagungamaug. Unfortunately, Malone did not have the $5 to settle up.
He then urged the educators to utilize their Massachusetts Teachers Association representatives to provide the state Department of Education with valuable feedback on hot-button issues such as technology in the classroom, Common Core curriculum and MCAS vs. PARCC testing.
"I want to be supportive to unions … we really need feedback and we want to be open and engaged in dialogue," Malone said. "We want to hear about what is standing in the way of teachers so that we can remove it. We are here to help create a connection between teacher and student."
In particular, Malone welcomes feedback on the Common Core curriculum, which he said he believes in because "it is the way to bring back science and social studies into the elementary schools."
He explained that through improved communication between teachers and the Department of Education, the reasons behind programs like Common Core will be better understood and evaluated.
The ultimate decision of whether to use the MCAS or PARCC test will be made after evaluating feedback from educators, Malone said.
And finally, Malone urged the staff to enjoy their final days of summer so they can wake up at 5 a.m. next Tuesday and "run to work."

10 Ice Cream Sundaes I Would Like To Eat Right Now
I was inspired by Lilit's post on disgustingly delicious things we have eaten. However, I do not wish to eat a Cheerwine filled donut because it sounds too disgusting to be delicious. It's also 100 degrees here, and all I want to eat is ice cream, but I'm not willing to leave the airconditioning to go get it. However, If any of these ice creams were to magically appear in the office, I would eat them, and they would be delicious.[ITPGallery]

Toll plaza collision leaves 6 injured
Investigation ongoing, FHP says
Toll plaza collision leaves 6 injured
Investigation ongoing, FHP says
CELEBRATION, Fla. —
Florida Highway Patrol troopers are investigating a collision that shut down a local highway and left six people injured Saturday afternoon.
Troopers said two cars crashed into each other about 3:30 p.m. at the toll plaza on southbound State Road 417 in Celebration.
Rescue crews had to cut several of the victims out of their vehicles.
Troopers said two of the victims were airlifted to the Orlando Regional Medical Center as trauma alerts, while two others were transported to a hospital.
One lane of the toll plaza was opened to get traffic moving, troopers said.

The Louisiana House on Wednesday advanced a proposed constitutional amendment that would bar consideration of rebates, incentives and abatements in other than fiscal sessions of the Legislature.
The House voted 92-5 for the proposition sponsored by state Rep. Ted James, D-Baton Rouge.
James said he proposed House Bill 131 "to close a loophole" that has allowed consideration of the financial issues in general sessions in even numbered years.
"I'm basically trying to honor the will of the voters of this state," said James, referring to a constitutional provision that limits tax issues to fiscal only sessions in odd-numbered years.
The proposed constitutional amendment requires a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate prior to going to Louisiana voters for approval.
The bill now goes to the state Senate for action.

The NQT year I am sure will have its own ups and downs and I feel sure that a diary for the NQT phase will be equally helpful to me and I hope to others.
I hope that people will post here as the new academic year begins and that we can support each other as it progresses.
At the top is a little poll that I thought might be interesting to give us all an idea of the sort of people contributing and using the diary, so please take a few moments to complete it.
All the best for September and enjoy the remainder of the summer break

The San Joaquín County Office of Education assembled hundreds of the area's finest young minds for the 32nd annual Academic Decathlon last Saturday at the Scottish Rite Auditorium.
Approximately 275 students representing 12 schools, including 11 from San Joaquín County, competed in a series of events. Each year offers a different theme. This year's theme was Russia. Organizers and volunteers marveled at the impressive collection of brainpower as students answered difficult questions about Russian art, economics and other topics.
"These students will be our doctors someday," said Annie Cunial, coordinator of student events and activities for the San Joaquín County Office of Education. "They'll be the ones that find the cure for cancer."
The Academic Decathlon features written tests in art, economics, language/literature, mathematics, music, social science and science. Students also write essays and present speeches. The event culminates with the Super Quiz, a lively team competition held before a live audience in a raucous auditorium.
"It rivals any basketball sporting event you can go to," Cunial said. "They're excited for their team. They've put in a lot of time to prepare for it, and this is their game day."
Gavin O'Malley, a freshman at Manteca High, said participating in the Academic Decathlon has been a rewarding experience.
"It was kind of boring the first few months because we were just studying, studying, studying, but leading up to this we've been gearing up and becoming more serious, and it really has been one of the better experiences of my life," O'Malley said. "I've really enjoyed it. The sheer, raw information that you have to cram into your head is amazing, but the payoff is amazing as well."
Individual and team winners in the varsity, scholastic and honors divisions were announced Feb. 6 at an awards ceremony at the Scottish Rite Auditorium. Rich Toledo, director of admissions at University of the Pacific, was on hand to present scholarships to a number of students. The winning team advances to the State Academic Decathlon Championship in Sacramento in March.
Deputy Superintendent Gary Dei Rossi moderated the Super Quiz for the 21st time, this time in a San Francisco 49ers cap. He said he always enjoys seeing the enthusiasm and camaraderie among students.
"They get to work together and they get to learn at a different rate," Dei Rossi said. "Instead of just listening to a teacher, they learn from each other. They do research together. They have to do it as a team, and that's what gets them so pumped up."

X-Ray Vision
If I could have one super power I think x-ray vision would definitely be my pick or at the very least in the top 3 options. My biggest hesitation is the fact that with my luck, my super powers would be too strong and I would surpass seeing a nice fleshy booty and right into the bones and muscles. Totally defeating the purpose!! Anyway, which see-through do you guys prefer? Also, what would your super power be?

Overview and Observation;
The ongoing rhetoric from Washington along with the "spin doctors" in the media are "painting a picture" of economic recovery. Unfortunately that picture is reminiscent of "Dorian Gray" where the "portrait" is the actual "recovery." Sooner or later the actual "picture" will be unveiled to show what the global recovery really looks like. The two major industries in the U.S. are the housing industry, which encompasses a myriad of sub-industries right down to the "doorbell," and the auto industry. While auto sales are apparently improving in some areas, the increase in existing home sales does not alter the jobs picture. Much of those purchases are by investors for the purpose of renting to homeowners who lost their homes.
The unemployment and "underemployment" rate which we estimate at around 17%-19% remains problematic. The sharp decline in new home sales does however indicate an underlying problem and cannot be dismissed. New home sales declined by 13.4% according to the U.S. Commerce Department in their report Friday. The recent increase in mortgage rates is also of great concern and the on-again/off-again talk by the various Federal Reserve regional Presidents of the "tapering" of its quantitative easing adds to that concern.
Also, the continuing speculation as to who will replace Fed Chairman Bernanke also provides for the angst prevalent in the market place. Larry Summers who was instrumental in the repeal of the Glass/Steagall act allowing banks to operate brokerage divisions, securitize good and bad mortgages, and market the securities globally was a major source of the "credit crisis" in my opinion. He is apparently favored by President Obama as a "reward" for his past support. We prefer Janet Yellen, an economist and professor and current Vice-Chairwoman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.
In addition to the foregoing, the lack of restrictions on mortgage requirements was also a factor promoted by the Real Estate and Mortgage bank industries as well as the "generous" appraisals allowing buyers of homes the ability to purchase homes without equity. With the "shadow inventory" dominant in this country and the tighter restrictions on credit, I see no improvement in an important basic industry forthcoming in the near future. As banks are "foreclosing" on a few homes at a time while thousands remain in default, the resulting "shortage" of available properties can be tied to the reluctance of banks to foreclose even as mortgages are not being serviced. Those defaulting mortgages remain on the "asset" side of the balance sheet and once foreclosed, are moved to the other column requiring the banks to increase reserves. For that reason, and the problematic "mystery" tied to Obamacare costs to companies I must temper my recommendations as relates to the markets I follow. The hiring of part time workers at the rate of four to one over full timers is an ongoing concern. Now for some actual information to help guide my readers through the "maze" of reports and data……….
Interest Rates:
The December U.S. Treasury bond (CBOT:ZBZ13) closed Friday at 130 13/32nds, up 1 and 8/32nds tied to the sharp decline in new home sales easing concern that the U.S. Federal Reserve would "taper" or cut off completely the quantitative stimulus program next month. Fed officials met at a conference in Jackson Hole Wyoming but without the two notable participants, U.S. Fed Chairman Bernanke and the ECB head Mr.Draghi, I could not understand its purpose. Three of the U.S. Fed regional bank Presidents interviewed commented on the timing for reducing the Fed's $85 billion of monthly bond buying with differing opinions. We continue to see bonds trading in a range depending on "who says what" comments from the Federal Reserve.

The Commonwealth is a unique grouping of 52 developed and developing nations spread over every continent and ocean in the world. Its membership reflects many religions, races, languages and cultures and its combined population of over two billion people account for approximately 30 per cent of the world's population.
As a general rule, applicant countries should have had an historic constitutional association with an existing Commonwealth member. Membership also entails acceptance of Commonwealth practices and conventions, including the use of the English language as the medium of inter-Commonwealth relations.
The values and aspirations which unite the members of the Commonwealth – democracy, human rights and the rule of law – are reflected in the Charter of the Commonwealth, adopted in December 2012. The Charter expresses the commitment of Commonwealth members to the development of free and democratic societies and the promotion of peace and prosperity.
The Commonwealth is supported by a range of associated networks and interests which include civil society, professional and parliamentary groups covering issues ranging from democracy to youth affairs, labour issues, gender equity, human rights, health and education.
The work of the Commonwealth is administered by the Commonwealth Secretariat based in London. The Secretariat is headed by a Secretary-General, Baroness Patricia Scotland.
The Secretariat's Board of Governors meets annually in May to give direction to the Secretariat on major policy issues and to approve strategic plans, work programs and budgets.
2013/14 – 2016/17 Commonwealth Secretariat Strategic Plan
An Executive Committee of the Board of Governors meets every quarter to oversee budgets and audit functions and make policy recommendations to the annual meetings of the Board. Membership of the Executive Committee is geographically balanced and includes the major contributors to the Commonwealth budgets.
Australia is a founding member of the modern Commonwealth and has been an active participant in Commonwealth organisations, programs and meetings for over 60 years. It is the third-largest contributor to the Commonwealth budget.
As Commonwealth Chair-in-Office from 2011-2013, Australia played a leading role in the development of the Commonwealth Charter. It was also a member of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) for the same period.
Australia is represented on the Commonwealth Secretariat's Board of Governors, and its Executive Committee, by the Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.
Australia supports the Commonwealth to promote human rights, democratic norms and good governance among member countries. The Commonwealth's work in supporting inclusive growth and sustainable development also recognises the intrinsic connection between the security and stability of governments and economic development.
Every two years, Commonwealth leaders meet at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) to discuss global and Commonwealth issues, and to agree on collective policies and initiatives.
CHOGMs also provide Commonwealth leaders with a forum for informal exchanges and bilateral contact. For Australia, it gives us a substantive link and point of commonality with many countries with whom we otherwise have limited bilateral contact.
Commonwealth ministers from a range of portfolios meet between CHOGMs to consider specific issues relating to democracy, economics and development, women's affairs, youth, legal issues, health and education.
CHOGM was last held in Malta in November 2015. The theme for the meeting was "The Commonwealth: Adding Global Value" (see CHOGM 2015 Leaders' Statement). The next meeting will be held in London and Windsor in April 2018.

I suppose it's no secret that I'm a Thomas Hart Benton fan.
I suppose it's no secret that I'm a Thomas Hart Benton fan. I've certainly written about him enough here.
But if you're just tuning in, let me tell you a little bit about why Neosho's famous native son is on my list of favorite characters. If you've read it all before, please indulge me. Besides, as I learned long ago in the newspaper world, a little repetition doesn't hurt. ("What? Thomas Hart Benton was born and grew up in Neosho?")
First, though, an announcement: Everyone is invited to the annual Benton Birthday Bash at 1:30 p.m. this Saturday, April 13, in the schoolhouse at the Newton County Historical Park, 121 N. Washington St., in Neosho (one block north of the Square). Steve Sitton, site administrator of the Thomas Hart Benton home and studio in Kansas City will give a Powerpoint presentation on the Benton home and talk about the 14 murals Benton created over his lifetime. Steve is coming down from Kansas City, so let's show him a Neosho welcome!
Birthday cake and punch will be served, and you can pick up a collectible Benton pin, the third in our annual series, as well as the newly printed map of Neosho murals. Also, the Thomas Hart Benton room in the museum will be open, as always.
To quote directly from a recent write-up about Benton, "Born in Neosho, Mo., on April 15, 1889, Thomas Hart Benton has become a nationally and internationally known artist. He is the most recognized muralist in America. His first mural was drawn on his mother's newly papered wall. At age 7, with charcoal in hand, he sketched a train huffing and puffing up the stairs to the second floor of the Benton home. It was met with criticism and erased."
Tom Benton, always the individualist. And that's why I like him.
I'm going to borrow excerpts from a previous column in noting that Benton is the poster boy of individualism. Not only did he not just follow the crowd, he actually agitated it. And when hit, he hit back harder. The biggest reason I have come to personally admire Benton is for the way he stood his ground against the influential people of various circles. Not only did he not bend under criticism, he actually fought back.
While Benton was making his living in New York as an up and coming artist he became closely acquainted with the "in crowd" of the art world. Many of these were not only ideological socialists, but also outright communists. When his realistic paintings of pure Americana started showing up, Benton took fire from the Marxist crowd and other important people in the art culture for being "chauvinistic" and "isolationist." Today we would probably call this not embracing the "global community."
Instead of backing off, Benton shot back and said the New York Marxists didn't "know or understand" America. He went on to lambast them for their ignorance of the history of American political thought. Then he really let them – and the rest of his opponents – have it. Burning bridges behind and forward, Benton didn't seem to care that antagonizing influential people might seriously damage his career and livelihood. The way he looked it, "they started it." I love him for that.
It got to such a point that a New York art dealer finally pulled him aside and, according to Benton, said, "Tom, for God's sake, shut up. You are not only making the Commies mad, you are making everybody mad."
But that was Tom Benton. He also rebelled against the prevailing art style at the time and basically started his own movement.
Benton "called 'em like he saw 'em." His artwork reflects the way things really are and not the way we would like them to be or even try to make them appear.
Neosho's most famous native son, Thomas Hart Benton, was his own person. He never took anything lying down and he paid no attention to what others may think when he acted on his own convictions. Thomas Hart Benton of Neosho was no sheep blindly following the rest of the flock – even when doing so may have made his life easier.
Anyway, that's Benton. I hope to see you at the Benton Birthday Bash at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Wes Franklin serves on the board of directors of the Newton County Historical Society. He is also public relations/events coordinator for the City of Neosho. Call him at 658-8443.

NEWPORT City Council has backed proposals for a new £830 million road to ease congestion on the M4.
The council said a new road south of Newport would make the road network more resilient to incidents on the M4, but it opposed a proposed new Brynglas tunnel or flyovers on the Southern Distributor Road.
It said that an estimated completion date of the new road – 2031 – was not acceptable.
The new road could be cheaper than the previously proposed £1 billion M4 relief road, shelved by the Welsh Government in 2009, and would not be a motorway.
There were many calls last year for the scheme to be resurrected after a lorry fire in the Brynglas tunnels caused widespread congestion across Gwent.
Newport council's comments were made in the authority's official response to the Welsh Government consultation on four proposed measures to improve the motorway which closes today.
The new dual carriageway – known as option A – would run from junction 29 of the M4 to junction 23 for the M48.
Under the proposal the route would run to the south of Newport – although along a different line from the shelved M4 relief road.
"We see this option as providing the required resilience that South Wales needs for the M4 corridor and for Newport and its residents that are so frequently impacted upon during times of incident," the response said.
The response, approved by infrastructure cabinet member Ken Critchley, says the road would probably be built in phases, with estimated completion in 2031.
Newport council said a proposal for a new tunnel and widening the M4 to four lanes would not provide "any network resilience".
"If a similar incident to those that necessitated the closure of the M4 in the past 48 months occurred on a widened M4 with a new tunnel, the whole of the motorway in that area would still have to be closed," the response said.
It also opposed the compulsory purchase of properties along the M4 corridor, which the response said would "have a detrimental effect on many families".
Meanwhile, motorway widening and tunnel construction would have a significant impact on traffic in Newport during construction, the council argued, while widening the M4 would decrease air quality.
Plans for junction improvements on the A48 Southern Distributor Road, known as option B, would not "significantly improve resilience" while the prioritisation of east-west traffic would put extra pressure on the local road network, the paper said.
Option C – a plan that would effectively turn the SDR into an expressway with flyovers – was also opposed by the council.
The paper said flyovers would "cut off existing communities and create a physical barrier between them".
Homes would also have to be compulsorily purchased for that proposal.
Eco-campaigners strongly opposed
BUILDING a new road south of Newport that will cross the Gwent Levels would be "shooting yourself in the foot", according to a campaigner.
An alliance of organisations and individuals dubbed CALM has reformed to oppose the road that Newport council has chosen to back, with the road crossing nationally and European-protected conservation areas.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Cymru, Gwent Wildlife Trust and Friends of the Earth Cymru and the Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales are among those in the group.
Sorrel Jones, conservation officer with Gwent Wildlife Trust, said: "It's an amazing landscape.
"It provides water for agriculture, lots of education work is done for children on the Levels.
It's a place where people go out and enjoy themselves.
"Option A is shooting yourself in the foot, environmentally."
She said the road would probably come very close to Bearcroft Common and the Solutia Gwent Wildlife Trust reserves: "People come to our reserves to be close to nature, not cars."
According to Welsh Government documents the road would cross the nationally protected Gwent Levels site of special scientific interest (SSSI) and the river Usk, which is both an SSSI and a European special area of conservation.
'So glad if homes are saved'
A CAMPAIGNER who opposes the proposal to build another tunnel on the M4 said she was glad of the support from Newport council.
Jo Sweeney, who lives in Brynglas, where it is expected many homes would have to be compulsorily purchased, said: "It sends a strong message to the Welsh Government."
More than 100 people turned out for a meeting to discuss opposition to the proposal earlier this year.
EDITORIAL COMMENT: New road a hot potato
IT SHOULD come as no surprise that Newport council has backed plans for a new road to the south of the city in its response to the Welsh Government's consultation on easing congestion on the M4.
Firstly, despite the change of political leadership at the council it is essentially the same response given by the city's former leader in March.
Secondly, backing other options – particularly a new tunnel and widening of the M4 at Brynglas – would have brought the council into opposition with a significant number of residents.
The option supported by the council is, at £830 million, the most expensive of the four options being considered by the Welsh Government. And it would not be ready until 2031 – an unacceptable amount of time, according to the council.
It is also the one most like the proposed M4 relief road, scrapped in 2009 18 years after it was first mooted and long the preferred option of the city council.
The council's choice from the four options offered by the Welsh Government is not without its difficulties.
The route of the proposed newroad, which would be a dual carriageway rather than a motorway, crosses the Gwent Levels and is fiercely opposed by conservationists.
As we said when this consultation began in March, the only option that cannot be chosen is doing nothing.
The M4 around Newport is already beyond capacity and the city's economy is damaged every time there is a problem on the road.

A new-age philosophy (and in some ways a religion) that teaches mankind is his own god and his own creation rather than created beings by God himself. It superimposes mankind's will over God's. It ignores the real creator God and his son, Jesus Christ, and puts human beings on a pedestal. It teaches that truth and morality are only relative, and there is no absolute right or absolute wrong. It puts human beings at the center of their own universe and glorifies creation rather than the creator. Secular humanism is driven my pride and arrogance and selfishness.
Radical environmentalism and the ACLU are examples of secular humanism.

Surviving a catastrophe
Elevator explosion a memory but challenges continue.
A year ago, Ed Foster awakened to a ringing phone and was told the All Points Cooperative grain elevator had exploded.
The CEO of All Points Cooperative in Gothenburg found himself trying to gather as much information as quickly as possible."Were there fatalities or injuries and where and how do we go from here?" Foster said he was thinking Nov. 20, 2008, after grain dust detonated at 3:15 a.m.
The explosion rocked much of the sleeping city.
"I had no idea of what to expect when I drove downtown," he said.
Determining damage to the elevator was difficult as fires continued to flare in the weeks following the blast.
But before rebuilding, workers had to tear out the mangled remains of the head house, Foster said.
"There were guys working on top in subzero temperatures with jackhammers and cutting torches," he explained. "It all had to be removed by hand."
Gothenburg fire chief Mark Ballmer, who is also vice president of agronomy at All Points, said the explosion that blew up the center of the elevator was caused by grain dust but the source of ignition was never determined.
Ballmer said the biggest thing All Points has had to overcome is operation of the business with ongoing construction.
"The explosion took the heart of our elevator where all the grain we handled needed to flow through," he said. "Due to the volume we handle, not being able to move grain by rail was huge."
The area damaged by the explosion contained high capacity legs, distribution equipment, screeners and all the equipment that loaded and weighed rail cars.
In the last month, Ballmer said enough equipment has been installed to allow the shipment of grain by rail again.
Until then and after the explosion, grain received was shipped out by semi-trucks.
Cool and rainy weather throughout the year caused delays as crews reconstructed the inside and outside of the elevator.
For example, the inside of silos needed to be lined with concrete.
"Even with little sprinkles of rain, the concrete crew had to stop," Foster said.
Steve Costello , vice president of the grain division, pointed out that relining reduced the elevator's 3.5 million-bushel storage capacity by only 30,000 bushels.
Included in the reconstruction plan was the addition of a more technologically advanced computer system that controls all elevator operations.
Before the explosion, Costello said they had only partial control.
"If there's a problem now, the system automatically shuts down," he said.
Foster likened much of the reconstruction to assembling a puzzle.
"Some of it had to be put in place to make sure it fit before a second piece could be built," he explained.
Other obstacles were the small fires that continued to burn inside the elevator for about three months after the explosion.
On Feb. 10, fire fighters returned to extinguish a flare up caused by the salvage crew removing damaged grain that ignited.
The fire damaged part of a conveyor belt.
Foster said they are still gathering information about damage for the insurance company.
At this point, they know damage to equipment ranges from $6 to $8 million not counting loss of business.
As the one-year anniversary of the explosion nears, Costello said All Points officials "learned all kinds of educational stuff we don't want to learn again."
On a more serious note, he said "you're no better than your employees."
"They have done such a good job getting us through this," Costello said. "We've also got a good group of farmers who have been cooperative as much as they can."
For Costello, the challenges have been never ending as All Points tries to service patrons the best it can," he said.
All three officials noted that the community and its farmers, the City of Gothenburg, the fire department, the railroad and the state department of roads were very cooperative after the explosion.
"Everybody asked what we needed," Costello said.
Foster, Costello and Ballmer were also amazed there weren't fatalities from the explosion.
"If it would have taken place during business hours in the middle of harvest, there is no question in my mind we would have had loss of life," Ballmer said. "You can fix concrete and steel but you can't replace that."
One employee who was operating the elevator when the blast occurred escaped through a door of the main elevator.
Larry Moses, superintendent of the elevator, suffered burns to his face and was transported to the hospital and later to a Lincoln burn center.
After recovering, Moses returned to work at the elevator.

About Aalto Books
Aalto Books opened its e-door in 1999, selling direct to specific clients. Every couple of weeks we email the latest books, which we feel our clients would find interesting, directly to a client base of over 4000. They simply email back with which books they would like to order and we send these to them. With this new website we remain an online only bookshop.
Until now we have concentrated on architecture and design books but with the creation of this website we intend to broaden our offering progressively. It is not our intention to become a web giant but rather to concentrate on book categories and clients who seek "better" books. As a consequence the Aalto Books website will never feature every book, from around the world. Instead we aim to provide a service to clients who are interested in quality rather than quantity.
We have built Aalto Books on a personal relationship between the company and its clients. We know most of our clients on a first name basis and they know who I am. It is our desire to maintain this relationship and extend it to new clients. At any time we would love your feedback and suggestions for improvements in our service. Feel free to call me with any enquiries.
I hope you enjoy dealing with Aalto Books and look forward to increasing our book offerings as we go forward.

Learning About Your Problem
The consultation with Dr. Bermant was often extensive and informative. His patients' education started here on this site. The Internet permitted our patients to take their time, absorb details at a relaxed pace. Many of our patients traveled from around the world for Dr. Bermant's plastic surgery sculpture. Patients then continued with our Preliminary Remote Discussion before coming to Virginia. Our consultations then built on the information here on the internet. He designed specific forms for the various conditions he treated. Common symptoms, issues, and problems were listed to stimulate each individual to express and explain themselves.
Our patients were asked to bring a list of their current medications including dosages and frequency. They also were asked to bring any X-rays (Radiographs) that may have been taken regarding their current condition.
Dr. Bermant could then continue his education about each patient's needs during the consultation and then explain his specific medical advice.

Since my talk at WordCamp Orlando on "You're Doing it Wrong" wasn't a total failure was a resounding success, I'm happy to announce that I'll be giving a similar talk at WordCamp Atlanta. If you saw this talk in Orlando and are going to WordCamp Atlanta, don't worry. I'll have new examples, better jokes, and a slightly different format for the slides to make them more useful as a reference.
I'll cover some common examples seen in plugins, themes, and tutorials that are either the "wrong" way to do it, not the "WordPress way", or just obsolete due to bug fixes and feature additions in WordPress. I'll also talk about how WordPress coding, upgrading, and community all combine into doing things the "right" way. This is targeted toward intermediate to advanced plugin developers, however, beginning developers may be interested as well.
I talked to quite a few Orlando area people at WordCamp Orlando that were interested in WordCamp Atlanta, so if that's you, check out the post on the Orlando WordPress blog if you want to discuss it or need to find someone to carpool/room with.

Two men and a woman have been arrested after the death of a seven-week-old baby boy from severe head injuries.
The badly injured infant was taken to the Royal Oldham Hospital in the early hours of last Saturday.
The boy, who lived in Oldham, was later transferred to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, where he later died.
A 23-year-old woman and 35-year-old man originally arrested on suspicion of assault have been rearrested on suspicion of murder and conspiring to pervert the course of justice, police said.
A 26-year-old man has also been arrested on suspicion of murder and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
Detective Inspector Andy Cunliffe, from GMP's major incident team, said: "This is a tragic case in which a very young baby has lost his life and we are determined to find out exactly what the circumstances were that led to him suffering such injuries.
"News of the death of such a little boy will no doubt come as a great shock to people and I would like to try and reassure the community as much as I can that we have a team of detectives dedicated to working on this investigation, and they will today be interviewing the three people in our custody.
"If anyone has any information at all that they believe may assist us with our inquiries, then please get in touch and tell us what you know."
