International Travel and HIV Infection
von Reyn, C. F., Mann, J. M., Chin, J., Bulletin of the World Health Organization
The pandemic of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has raised a variety of issues related to international travel. Individual travellers ask about the risk of acquiring HIV infection during travel; national governments consider whether entering travellers should be screened for HIV infection; and tourist organizations and international transport companies attempt to prevent fear of AIDS from disrupting the travel industry.
This article summarizes the current global epidemiology of AIDS and HIV infection, considers the risk of acquiring HIV infection during international travel, addresses the issue of HIV screening of international travellers, and offers advice for preventing HIV infection during international travel. Finally, recommendations are provided for medical counselling of the prospective traveller who is HIV-infected.
Global epidemiology of AIDS and
HIV infections
A total of 222 740 cases of AIDS had been reported to WHO from 153 countries by 1 March 1990 (Table 1). Cases have been reported from every continent. These data should not be interpreted to indicate that countries that have reported no AIDS cases, or those that have reported few cases, are either free of or have
a low prevalence of HIV infection. Few seroprevalence studies have been carried out, and there is also significant underrecognition, underdiagnosis, and underreporting of AIDS in many areas of the world, especially in developing countries with limited laboratory and clinical facilities.
Available data on reported AIDS cases and HIV seroprevalence information permit a reasonable description of the current global patterns of AIDS and HIV infection (Fig. 1). Distinct patterns have been observed, and are presumably related to the different time of introduction or extensive spread of HIV and to different social and behavioural characteristics (1, 2).
In Pattern I countries, where HIV appears to have spread extensively in the late 1970s or early 1980s, most AIDS cases are due to sexual transmission among homosexual and bisexual men with only a small percentage of cases being due to heterosexual contact. Parenteral transmission is due principally to intravenous drug use. Data from volunteer blood donors indicate that the overall population seroprevalence in such countries is less than 1%, although in some groups with high-risk behaviour (homosexual or bisexual men with multiple sexual partners, and intraveous drug users), seroprevalence may be 50% or higher. This pattern is observed in North America, western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and many urban areas of Latin America.
The epidemiological pattern in many Pattern I countries is still evolving. For example, in many Latin American countries HIV transmission among heterosexuals who have had multiple sexual partners has increased since the mid-1980s, to the extent that this mode of transmission has become the predominant one. As a result of this shift, Latin America has been reclassified as Pattern I/II (2).
In Pattern II countries, where extensive spread of HIV probably began in the 1970s, most sexual transmission occurs among heterosexuals and the male-to-female ratio is approximately 1:1. Parenteral transmission occurs in areas where blood may not be routinely screened for antibodies to HIV and from use of unsterile needles, syringes, and other skinpiercing instruments. The overall population seroprevalence among adults, especially in urban areas, is usually over 1% and may range as high as 5-25%. Pattern II has been observed in central, eastern, western, and southern Africa and in some areas of the Caribbean.
In Pattern III countries, where HIV appears to have been introduced in the early to mid-1980s, information about AIDS cases is either incomplete or the number of reported cases is insufficient to identify the predominant modes of transmission. …

Hi Marc, that's perfectly fine! Are you sure you're not needing anything else? Right now, your order comes in well under the FIMS limit and is only $51 for shipping
By the way, does anyone know what happens if you order something that's out of stock? The paper I wanted has run out and now isn't due until the end of November. If I go ahead and order it, will I just get the first part of my order straight away and they'll send along the other stuff when it comes in? Or will I wind up paying for two separate lots of shipping?

Next year, I will be flipping my classroom. Instead of utilizing a considerable amount of class time for lecture and having students complete homework outside of class, this will be reversed. Students will watch all materials that would normally be presented during a lecture in a traditional classroom at home, freeing up time to apply knowlege, complete more lab work, and get individualized help during school. To make this option viable for all students, my classroom needs to have permanent access to computers for students to use.
"Flipping" classes is a new idea in education. Some details and benefits of this concept are provided below:
This last school year I introduced the flipped classroom in the 4th quarter across some of my classes. I received a tremendous amount of feedback from the content. Examples of materials I have produced so far are provided on my YouTube channel:
Students completed surveys regarding my flipped classroom introduction last year, and the feedback was very positive. One of the questions on the survey asked students if they had access to a computer and the internet at home. While approximately 95 percent of students stated they would be able to access this material at home, about 5 percent stated they would not - one of the primary concerns from the illustration above and the reason I am seeking funding for this project.
Two refurbished 16 gigabyte iPad minis for my classroom would provide a permanent tool in the classroom for students without computer or internet access at home to access flipped classroom materials. Since around 5 percent of my students will not have access to technology at home, additional iPads would be ideal. Since I will have around 150 students next year - up to 30 students per class - even 8 iPads would be utilized regularly, as more students could benefit from the tool simultaneously.
I am seeking funding for iPad minis, as opposed to alternative devices, for a few reasons:
I have invested in excess of $100 on various iOS apps with educational applications that would allow students to access, produce, and edit relevant content - examples would include Explain Everything, Keynote, iMovie, Numbers, Pages, and Notability.
I have my classroom outfitted with an AppleTV, allowing students to share their work via projector with the rest of the class. Only Apple products would be compatible with all of the resources that I currently have available.
Refurbished iPad minis through Apple cost approximately $279.00, making it the most cost-effective tool for the job. Rugged cases costing approximately $20.00 would round out the $300.00 estimate for cost to protect this classroom investment.
I am very familiar with iOS and my own iPad.
There has been a tremendous movement over the last few years involving the use of iPads both in the classroom and in the professional world. Countless school systems have equipped teachers or even the entire student body with iPads with astounding results, and numerous research studies have shown the benefit of incorporating iPads for student learning in educational settings. Websites emphasizing these details are found below.
Thank for your support and consideration - every bit helps! If you are not able to contribute financially, please share this project with your Facebook or Twitter friends and followers!

Thread: SVT-40 problems
SVT-40 problems
I apologize in advance if there are already posts that deal with this set of issues. I tried the search feature and could not figure out if there were SVT operation problems already covered in the past...
Took my new to me 1943 Tula SVT-40 to the range today for a trial run at 100 yards from a bench. Loaded Soviet 1986 Frunze/60 LPS light ball ammo that has given me zero problems with my Mosins into the magazine.
I pulled back the bolt carrier handle and let it go forward, sighted in with a 6 o'clock hold on a paper target, and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. I waited for 30 seconds in case it was a hang fire, then extracted the cartridge. The firing pin strike was just a bit off center, but not too bad. The primer itself had been knocked into the primer pocket, about what like one would see if a Mosin-Nagant rifle had not had its firing pin protrusion set properly. I reloaded, and the second round fired. I then had the third round jam going into the chamber, where the bolt could not be closed with a tap of the heel of the hand on the bolt handle, and it could not be opened. I got out a block of wood, and tapped on the bolt handle until it ejected the round. That may be a dirty chamber issue of some kind, and so I'll have to get into the chamber flutes.
I attempted to fire the remaining rounds in the magazine, and I had a total of four rounds detonate and eject from the rifle, and a total of four where the cartridge would not detonate, and the primer appeared crushed. I decided the rifle was not safe to shoot, unloaded it, put the ammo away, and then cleaned the rifle with Hoppe's #9. I drove to a gunstore where there is a gunsmith I know, and he allowed me to take it apart there, and also detail stripped the bolt.
The firing pin appears like new, intact, and it protrudes a good ways out of the bolt face when struck. The hammer appears to fly forward and strike the rear of the bolt with a lot of force.
I was wondering:
A) How ammunition sensitive is the SVT Tokarev design?
B) Is it possible for the bolt when locked to depress the disconnector, allowing the hammer to fly forward when the trigger is pulled, but because the receiver shelf that the bolt locks down into from the camming motion of the bolt carrier is a separate piece in the receiver in order to adjust for headspace, can the trigger operate the hammer while the bolt is locked, but not fully in battery? Does this make any sense?
C) Is this actually a headspace issue of some kind? What is the remedy for this kind of issue with a Tokarev rifle?
D) The rifle is a refurbished STI import with reblued parts and so on. Everything is electropencilled/ forced matched. The trigger group assembly is all Kovrov parts, but just about everything else is Tula.
I enjoyed shooting the rifle during the few times that it went "bang." About as loud as I thought it would be from the muzzle-brake, and relatively milder recoil from the self-loading mechanism.
Are you sure the bolt is completely forward and in battery.On the rounds that did not fire?
Did you tap it with your hand each time before firring? Of course not that you should have to.But if having a problem like that i would do that on each round to make sure shes locked.Hows the gas system condition? What setting is it running on.Is it completely clean and very well lubed? And the flutes are spot less? The chamber is smooth and no marks from broken shells being removed in the past? And if so emery cloth and polish it up !
Hi, my friend and future owner of at least 3 SVTs!
First, Soldier, you get 3 latrine-cleaning duties for not being sure that you chamber was squeaky clean. Never take a weapon to the range unless YOU cleaned it and checked YOURSELF.
Now that I am done being a patronizing a-hole, this is what needs to happen:
Take the rifle apart and completely disassemble your bolt, and I mean completely, including the fire pin and the ejector. Try not to loose the small spring and plunger hiding behind the ejector. I am 99% certain that your fire pin, spring and the channel are bathed in cozmoline, or worse, caked in soviet grease. Clean the ejector nest and parts as well, it will save you some future issues.
Soak and brush the chamber until you turn blue in the face.
Other troubled areas are:
Gas system has to be thoroughly cleaned. There is no excuse for not doing so. Make 100% sure that your gas plunger setting is lined up perfectly to the hairline on the gas chamber.
Trigger system parts need to be free of cozmoline and lightly lubed.
Bolt rails on the bolt carrier and receiver - the same no cozmo, light lube
Edit: Also the bolt return spring and guides have to be cleaned.
Edit2: Check that the locking nests that the bolt lugs drop into are clean, they are immediately behind the magwell and to the left and right of the mag-hold-open. The dirt there would cause incomplete locking and could case bad extraction.

I have had a couple rounds do the same thing in Mosin Nagant rifles. 1 silver tip Czech and 1 copper washed. I retried the same rounds in several rifles and no fire. It can be ammo quality.
Serzant what do you attribute your recommendations to in cleaning the weapon down to bare metal? Many of the steps you recommend don't have anything to do with his issue which sounds very much like an ammunition problem.
I do agree with you in that the bore and bolt should be cleaned prior to firing and left free of lube. The bolt guides and op mechanism should be lightly lubed. Gas system should be completely free of any oil or lubrication of any kind. Several types would suffix on areas that need lubrication and even many quality dry lubes exist.
I would obtain a 20 rd package of several types of ammunition and try those. The yellow tipped Bulgarian shoots particularly well as does the 150gr Yugoslav brass cased types. I would dry several other types to rule out an ammunition problem first.Administrator of Gunboards.com

"Terror is not a new weapon. Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail, either by persuasion or example. But inevitably they fail, either because men are not afraid to die for a life worth living, or because the terrorists themselves came to realize that free men cannot be frightened by threats, and that aggression would meet its own response. And it is in the light of that history that every nation today should know, be he friend or foe, that the United States has both the will and the weapons to join free men in standing up to their responsibilities."

Have to agree about the ammo. Some of the 80's dated Russian LPS can give fits in Maxim MG's and yet work perfectly in rifles with greater firing pin energy, like the 91/30. If the firing pin is delivering enough energy to seat the primer deeper into it's recess, it should be sufficient to fire the cartridge. As primers start to loose their sensitivity, this is one of the signs. That is, light blows in some weapons that have a marginal problem, say a weak hammer spring. As Vic suggests, try some different manufactures/dates before changing anything. Gas adjustment will probably cure the cycling/feeding issues but it is sometimes necessary to tweak the magazine feed lips. Lower settings of 1.3 or so are good starting points. Higher settings can cause the rifle to cycle to fast before the magazine spring can raise the next cartridge into position, causing a mis feed. Also be sure your extractor spring is up to snuff. These are great rifles and a lot more reliable than some believe. Good shooting. JH
Sorry I've spoken before you did, Vic and other "senior" members!
I eliminated ammo as the issue, because in 16 years of collecting soviet weapons I had zero FTFs with Russian-made ammo (and I had issues with some other commy block ammo). I never owned a Maxim, though so it is possible.
Also, there is a troubleshooting guide in the SVT-40 manual on Page 81 that states that fire pin channel must be free of dirt an slightly lubed. And bottom of Page 83 explains about the receiver.
The OP asked a specific question about locking, which deserves a response as it is often overlooked by the experts. The locking lugs are depressed in the recesses in the receiver behind the mag well. If they are prevented from being fully depressed by dirt, the bolt may close incompletely, but the firing pin will strike off center, as the OP indicated and the retraction of the bolt will be hindered by excessive friction between the lugs and bolt carrier.

I can only speak for my self of course serzant, but all opinions are welcomed here. I only mentioned the 80's Russian LPS because it has been well documented as giving uneven primer performance since it first appeared on the surplus market in the mid 1990's. Few rifles have the combined weight of the mosin 91/30 firing pin/cocking piece/and spring which will set off almost anything! Some MG's do indeed have great striking force but some, like the 1910 maxim, rely on firing pin spring strength alone. They are the "canaries in the coal mine" if you will, when it comes to "dying" primers. That said, the off center strike is quite normal (the front of the bolt is captive and even if the rear is elevated, the firing pin imprint is changed little.) Also, the SVT has a generous relive cut under the bolt to capture debris. I have found primer cups from fired cartridges smashed under the recess and the rifle still fired perfectly. Because the hammer tension is all that keeps the firing pin forward as the cartridge is firing, the rifle is susceptible to primer "pop outs" which can indeed block the firing pin channel. As you say, cleaning and inspection BEFORE shooting is a good idea. And of course, the safety sear prevents the hammer from dropping until the bolt is fully in battery should dirt build up under the locking surface become an issue. Very nice pictures. JH

Spacibo/ Thanks!
Thanks folks.
The rifle was detail stripped by me when I got it. I cleaned it about as good as I do most of my surplus firearms, which may be a bit excessive. I did run pipe-cleaners into the gas port in the barrel and the fixed gas piston. I cleaned the valve/gas tube attached to the operating rod, and the operating rod. I did leave the op rod clean and dry, as well as the op-rod return spring.
The gas setting was on 1,3mm. I did have some Polish LPS silver-tip 147gr. 1975 ammo, which I probably should have tried to eliminate that possibility. I also had some brass cased 182gr. Yugoslav heavy-ball with brass cases (1986 date, like the ex-Soviet ammo I used). Honestly, shooting 7.62x54r ammo from various countries in my Mosin-Nagant rifles, the only time something like this happened was when I failed to properly gauge the firing pin protrusion. That is what this issue put me in mind of. I can post pictures of the cartridge cases, if folks think that will be helpful. I did notice that the firing pin left a faint dimple on unfired cases that had been chambered, much like my Garand. Fired cases were normal. Unfired cases had the Berdan primer crashed in, with a small dimple, but that was not sufficient to detonate the cartridge.
I've got the rifle all apart again, soaking in Hoppe's #9. I will say, on reading your replies, that I might have used the wrong lube. As a Garand guy, I usually use a Lubriplate grease on sliding parts, and this rifle was no exception. Maybe the Lubriplate acted like cosmoline preservative grease? On the Garand design, if the locking lugs of the bolt are not fully turned into engagement, the hammer cams the bolt all the way shut. With the SVT-40 and the SKS, is it the case that the rifle could have a case chambered, appear to be in battery, but when the hammer drops, it fails to fire because the bolt is not cammed all the way down into the receiver recess? Another SVT person I have talked to wondered about the hammer spring. But when I put the bolt and bolt carrier into the locking position, the hammer falls quite sharply and evenly.
Serzant: trust me my friend, I really did clean and lube the rifle when I got it... Perhaps I did use the wrong kinds or techniques for lubricating it however. I have a cyrillic/ Russian SVT-40 manual, but I do not speak Russian. I have been using a combination of the U.S. 1954 training circular, the Smith and Smith _Book of Rifles_ and the 1965 International Armament Co. books to help me out with it. The lines on the tiny gas nut and the gas cylinder port appeared matched up, and when I detail stripped the bolt [admittedly, something I did not do before I took it to the range], it was clean and the channel was not blocked.
Führer: Are there any tips or tricks for getting down into the chamber flutes? I let it sit a day or two with Hoppe's #9 and then dry patched it out... Should I be thinking of dental picks or something like that to get into the grooves? I don't think I have anything like a chamber mirror or something like that to see if a case ruptured in the chamber or something like that. Now that I think of it, I guess I should get a 7.62x54r ruptured case extractor while I'm at it.
Thanks for the replies thus far. It has me mystified.
One more thing I should have mentioned: did you gage the fire pin?
I use Mosin screw driver tool which has Go/NoGo gage on the side. Just in case...

Your primer strikes sounds "normal" on the mis-fired cartridges. If the pin is pushing the cup into contact with the case anvil, that should be sufficient to fire the cartridge. Of course the fired cartridge will look different because the cup will flow back against the bolt face and give the appearance of a deeper impression. It still sounds a lot like primer insensitivity. Please let us know how it works out. JH
I, like you, use a Lubriplate grease on my SVT and every other semi auto and bolt action I own. That should not be contributing to your problem in any way. I am very sparse in its application though, just a very, very light film...maybe you are using too much...?
Make sure you load your magazines with the rim of each cartridge immediately in front of the one below. That will contribute to a feed issue.
SVTs can be a bit quirky. My Finn will not chamber a soft point ammo, as the feed angle is too steep and the nose winds up catching and stopping the cycle. I must use FMJ, but considering the rifle was never designed to cycle anything but, its no big deal to me.

If your hammer is releasing when you pull the trigger, then I had the exact same problem when I got my first SVT40 many years ago. My problem turned out to be a weak hammer spring. The hammer just didn't have enough force to ignite the primer each time. It fired about 1 out of 4 times. The rifle had probably been stored cocked for 50 years. A replacement spring solved the problem.
Spacibo/ Thanks!
Thanks Cass. I just might have to try that out. I'll try to get a replacement hammer spring from Numrich or some outfit like that and see if that helps. I just might try to run down to the range on Sunday and see if I have the same issues with other kinds of ammo.
I'll get it solved soon I hope.
Excellent we look forward to your return report.Administrator of Gunboards.com

Well, this was a quicker return from the range than I intended...
I cleaned the rifle, especially the bore and the chamber and the receiver where the bolt locks down. I cannibalized an old cheap cleaning kit for two sections of brass rod and a .40 cal. and 20-gauge brush to scrub the chamber. I went a bit easier on the lube than I might for, say, one of my M1 Garands... I reassembled everything, double-checked it, set the gas nut at 1,3mm and took it to the range.
The Good News [Polish ammo works without buying a new hammer spring!]:
I fired four rounds of Polish 1975 LPS 147gr. copper-washed steel cased ammo.
The Bad News: [Rifle chamber behaves like an ornery Mosin-Nagant!]:
Each stuck in the chamber, requiring forceful racking of the bolt handle to eject the case. I stopped after round #3, took out the magazine, disassembled the gas system, and re-set the gas port aperture to 1,5mm. The fourth round also stuck in the chamber, and when I went to extract it, the extractor tore off the rim of the Polski case leaving it in the chamber. So I packed up and am now re-cleaning the rifle again.
I guess the Mosin is more my rifle...I can figure out that one! Heh. Kidding aside, it seems like I've got quite a learning curve on this here SVT.
The good news is that the rifle appears accurate. I had two holes touching at 100 yards, a third that opened things up to about 3 1/2 to 4-inches, and then a fourth round that was a real flier [about 5 inches or so for the total four shots... But I was probably letting the sticky chamber get to me, and it was very windy at the range.] Could anyone direct me to how to go about getting into those flutes or splines inside the chamber area? I guess I'll see if "youtube" has any insights on the chamber.
If you put a round in the chamber by hand how does it feel pulling it in and out.It should have some play to rocking it up and down.I think that rifle may have a gas seal problem at the piston and cylinder.You know even with like new parts some of these guns just like to run at a higher setting.I have a nice Finn capture svt.It has a nice bore not mint but nice for a svt.And that rifle with like new gas parts(the originals) I also have the new stainless piston and cylinder which i put in it and left them in there.I felt those would be best to clean and use at the range.It runs like a swiss watch on 1.7 and thats it.And it does not seem to be over working anything either.In other words the rifle is not getting beat up at all.Some just seem to like higher settings than others is my take.I don't know if it has to do with stronger recoil springs or what.It did have strong recoil springs and i put new ones in anyway.
Sounds like you need to turn the gas setting up.
Thanks Führer and MuscleGarunt. I'll do that. I will try the 1,7mm setting for a bit and see if I can go back down to 1,5mm. I'll also be sure to bring any and all equipment I might need to unstick cases. I was chagrined that I did not bring my one piece cleaning rod with me to the range to get the stuck case out. Third time is the trick! [I hope...]
I have a 1941 Tula that runs on 1,3 setting just fine and my 1941 Izzy runs better on 1,7.
If we are getting into the gas queston, have you made sure that the key that holds the front end to the barrel is well centered (looking from the top)??
That key passes right through the gas port and has an oversized hole in the center, but if it is incerted too far to one side, it will partially block the gas port.- Что это там за шаги на лестнице?
- Да это нас арестовывать идут.
Hello serzant:
Thanks/spacibo. I actually went and checked in the gunroom, where it is sitting being re-cleaned again. The key holding the non-rifled portion of the barrel, two-baffle muzzle-brake, bayonet lug and front sight onto the rifled portion of the barrel appears to be slightly more jutted out to the left than it is on the right. It is fairly close to being centered, but maybe just a bit more sticks out on the left-hand side.
None of the diagrams or manuals I have mention messing around with that part... Is that something for a gunsmith to handle?
The good news is that Polish ammo works! I'm almost out of the Soviet 60/86 anyway, so I'll reserve it for my Mosins I guess. I've been using an expensive foaming bore cleaner on it hoping that may get into the splines/flutes on the chamber better than I've been able to. I'll return to the cannibalized .40 and 20-gauge brushes soon too. I'll look around and maybe my muzzleloader has an old .50 cal brush I could use on the SVT chamber.
In all years of collecting these I only removed/reinstalled the front end once, so maybe that's why no-one discusses it. But the hole on the key is about 2 mm - 2.5 mm max diameter (to the best of my recollection). So yours only has to be off by 1mm to cause partial blockage. The reason it is not mentioned in the user-level manuals is because the riflemen were not expected to mess wit this part - every time the front end is removed, the rifle should be sighted in again. Penetraiting oil soak is recommended prior to attempting to move the key, as there is sure to be build up of carbon in there. If its less than 1mm difference, you probably should not bother. 1mm = 0.04"- Что это там за шаги на лестнице?
- Да это нас арестовывать идут.
I think some people includeing me from reading on the boards.Get into the it must run on 1.3 or 1.5 mode.I did and played around for a bit on the 1.5 setting.Than went to 1.7 and everything is perfect.I wish i new for sure why some run on lower settings than others? I could see if the barrel bore was shot out a reason.But when bores are nice and all and gas systems are like new it leaves one wondering?
As for moving the locking key, I don't think I've got the equipment to do that here. But I will take it someplace and get it measured. It is really tight, and it appears staked in at the point it is at, which is *almost* centered. But that may be it. When the pressurized can of foaming bore cleaner shoots into the bore, a tiny bit comes out the fixed gas piston, so I know some gas can get through there... But maybe it is only half what it should be.
Führer: Yes, I think you are probably right. I am utterly new to the SVT. I only have experience with M1 Garands, M1 carbines, SKS rifles, and vicariously through some shooting buddies, Kalashnikovs and ARs. So when I read all the stuff that is available, it seems the Soviet manual called for a new rifle to be at 1,5mm, but an older piece could go lower: 1,3mm or 1,2mm. And then people who know that the rifle and its parts are in short supply Stateside [Lucky Canucks!], are leery about parts wear and breakage and so on, and so they advocate babying things as far as the gas system goes. Once I get the bore as clean as it possibly can get, I'll just make it a point to bring more gear with me to the range to tinker with it, and I'll start eliminating the variables one at a time until I get it right. I do thank you for helping a "newbie" with this stuff. Basically, at the end of the U.S. 1954 training circular it has remedies for such problems like: "broken firing pin, firing pin too short, rifle is dirty--clean rifle, extractor is dirty or broken--clean extractor or repair/replace extractor, and so on. When the problem doesn't come from that source it gets bewildering. I've still got other kinds of 7.62x54r ammo to try out too. For now I'll look into the gas-port locking key issue, reset the nut at 1,7mm and get a new hammer spring.
Interestingly, perhaps, V.2 of the 1965 George B. Johnson and Hans Bert Lockhoven/ Interarmco book _International Amrament_ (Köln, 1965), p.174 says "A good gun, of sound design and competent workmanship, the Model 1940 [Tokarev self-loading rifle] had all the qualifications of a successful weapon--except for two shortcomings: poor ammunition and troublesome maintenance. ... With the rapid deterioration in ammunition which took place after the German invasion, other functioning difficulties mounted; and in the sub-arctic cold of winter fighting, when margins of reserve power of both ammunition and mechanism were at a minimum, operation became critical. These and other problems, such as the difficulty of adjusting the gas port or field stripping the gas system for maintenance without special tools, caused consideration of the Tokarev as a replacement for the bolt action rifle to be suspended. ..."
I'm wondering if the chamber on mine is just a bit too roomy? I wonder if the hard Soviet primer is getting knocked into the pocket by the hammer because the cartridge can move forward just a bit, and the Polish cartridge case bulges a bit when it fires, but doesn't go back to shape quite the same way as brass cased ammo and "sticks" in the chamber? For now I'll start on your recommendations there. Thanks again, I'm much obliged. I just don't know anyone at work who owns guns, and my gun friends don't own Tokarevs... Quite a conundrum.
If your muzzle extension key is close to center don't mess with it. It is a press fit. if you move it around it could wear some material off the key. Then it won't stay put. I advise to not try to adjust the key. Try raising the gas setting. If you shoot 3 rounds and 2 eject but one gets stuck in the chamber you need to turn the gas up. reason this happens is, the case is extracted piping hot while it is still expanding. If the bolt doesn't get enough of a push to eject the case it jams the now swollen case back into the chamber and it gets stuck.
The key can be tapped with a standard screw driver-

"Tulta munille!"
"Terror is not a new weapon. Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail, either by persuasion or example. But inevitably they fail, either because men are not afraid to die for a life worth living, or because the terrorists themselves came to realize that free men cannot be frightened by threats, and that aggression would meet its own response. And it is in the light of that history that every nation today should know, be he friend or foe, that the United States has both the will and the weapons to join free men in standing up to their responsibilities."

I had stovepiping on my Tula SVT. Increased the port setting slowly and it works great on 1.7"Vertroue in God en die Mauser".-Faith in God and the Mauser.
The motto of my ancestors, that gallant band of brothers, who fought an equally gallant enemy in 1899-1900
Folks, I just wanted to let y'all know that I meticulously put the re-cleaned rifle back together with the gas port aperture set at 1,7mm and it it went through Yugoslav 1986-mfr. 182gr. and Polish 1975-mfr. 147gr. silver-tip LPS without any problems whatsoever. I had to move the rear sight up from 100m to 150m, and the sight windage will have to be adjusted because it is about 3 1/2 to 4 inches to the right of POA at 100 yards. Shooting at an 11x17-inch sheet of paper with a six-inch square bullseye and a ten-inch square around that, it put six rounds of Yugo into the six-inch square, two fliers in the 10-in. square, 1 just outside the 10-in. square, and the last off the paper, probably to the right. With the Polish LPS, I had three in the six-in. square, five in the ten inch square, and two off the paper, again, probably over to the right. Once I get the windage issue taken care of things should be just great!
Thanks again to everyone for their advice and recommendations. Much obliged.
dave, if you are switching between light ball and heavyball, you might want to recheck the gas setting. if you're running fine at 1.7 with the light ball, try the heavy ball at 1.5 and see if that works.
I like to use the fn-49 method for setting the gas system. single load one round, set the gas at the lowest setting, chamber and fire. if the round doesn't eject, single load another round, move the gas setting up one, and chamber and fire again. do this until the round ejects and the bolt locks back. Changing ammo to me means checking the settings like this again.
my observation on these rifles compared to a garand is: you can remove the gas tube on a garand and clean the entire gas system, including the gas hole in the barrel. unless you are removing the muzzle extension on an svt, the same thing is not true. you can stick a paper clip or dental pick through the hole, but there's bound to be a little carbon buildup in there.
on the piston/cup: check the end of the piston that doesn't screw in. the bevelled surface on this end gives you the primary seal for the extraction impulse. If this bevelled surface isn't smooth, it will leak gas around. this initial impulse is not only the primary extraction impulse, it lifts the bolt lugs up out of their recesses.
after the initial gas impulse, the gas flows between the side of the piston and the walls of the cup as the cup travels to the rear. if the gap between the sides of the piston and cup is larger, it will require a higher setting to work. If the gap is smaller, it will require a smaller setting. This part of the cycle doesn't have to be as strong as the initial impulse, as it only has to move the bolt to the rear to accomplish ejection.
Spring tension from the op rod spring and recoil springs will affect this also. any type of binding from the bolt carrier or the op rod (where it passes through the hole beneath the rear sight) won't help.
That's my personal take on how the gas system works, not from a book but from looking at how the gas system goes together and a lot of thought.
y'all have a good day, KeithSay you love her 'till she lays down the butcher knife. -Tim Wilson
"Luck" is what happens when preparation meets opportunity
Thanks Keith. I'll try that out next time. I only had time to shoot at two targets and it was getting dark fast. I shot several five round strings after not having the rifle work as a self-loader on 1.3mm and 1.5mm settings, and on cleaning it, I noticed a lot of powder residue and carbon fouling on the exterior front of the gas regulator nut area, leading me to believe that the gas system may in fact be somewhat leaky like you describe. So I went "full blast" 1.7mm on this trip. I probably should try 1.5mm again with the heavy ball, and then go back up to 1.7mm with the LB. On this range trip, I shot both at 1.7.
Ejected cases went out front and to the right about 15 to 20 feet, and recovered brass had a small side dent where it hit the receiver cover on the way out. Nothing seemed too excessive, however.
Thanks for the appraisal. I'm just gratified it is working like it should.
Glad to hear you got it working; nothing more frustrating than a single shot semi automatic rifle. Well maybe a single shot M60 machinegun.Looking for PU scope number 10062. See post http://forums.gunboards.com/showthre...light=pashutr3
Glad its running OK too. It should run on 1.5 no problem with light ball and 1.3 on heavy. Just be sure gas ports are clean and lined up.Administrator of Gunboards.com

But then things start to get interesting in the fourth quarter. Shen cuts the lead to only two points with less than one minute remaining in regulation.
"I'm sure Bethlehem was a little nervous when we cut it to two," said Shenendehowa head coach Ken Strube. "But they made a couple plays when they had to, and that is the mark of a champion."
Who is "they?" It was Olsen, the Class AA tournament's most valuable player. Olsen steals the ball and is fouled as she attempts a layup.
"The best defender in the area. has unbelievable lateral movement and is strong," proclaimed coach Mark Nealon. "Thirty seconds left in the game, she still has that kind of energy and wherewithal to get that steal. You wouldn't expect anything less from that girl."
As her second free throw goes in and the crowd goes wild, the Lady Eagles get back into their defense. They force Shen to take a long-range three-pointer, which is an air ball that goes out of bounds. Taylor Teal then takes the ball and in-bounds it as the final buzzer goes off.
All in one instant three of the team's seniors, Teal, Olsen and McCullough scream and run to center court where they embrace and celebrate their championship.
"We knew this game would be a battle and it was," said Olsen as she laughed under her breath. "And we came out on top."
"It's been a long time coming. Coming here three years in a row and just coming up short last year; we are going to treasure this one," said Nealon.
Bethlehem travels to Liverpool High School Saturday to face Section III champion Cicero-North Syracuse in the Class AA regional final.""

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- In Chattanooga, the Tennessee Career Center is pointing job-seeking clients to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The Census Bureau's Web site shows jobs out of the local office in Knoxville start at $12 per hour.
Chattanooga center coordinator Andrea Witt told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that more people than usual for this time of year are looking for work and she is directing them to the Census jobs.
Census office manager Sam Ruble said that right now, the Census Bureau is hiring employees for 10 weeks for what he describes as "address canvassing."
Ruble said that for the 21 counties in East Tennessee covered by his office, it will take about 1,000 people to do that.

Wind in my hair and sunshine on my face...

A few years ago I moved out of an apartment that was near a really great bike trail. Biking is always something that I have enjoyed. My love of it goes way back into my childhood. Often, my son and I would embark on rides together. When he was little, I'd put him in a bike seat and I would just GO! As he grew older (around the age of 7) he'd be on his bike truckin' right along side of me. He made his first 20mi ride at the age of 8. I was so proud of him.
I've missed that trail. Biking, for me, brings a lot of peace. The wind in my hair and the sunshine my face makes me feel so dang happy to be ALIVE! I can honestly say that I feel close to God. I feel peace.
I miss my kiddo. Teenagers sure aren't a whole lot of fun. Maybe one day he and I can ride together again. I've heard that teenagers become human again around the age of 24 or so. It may have taken slightly longer than that for ME -- haha.
Anywho... my kid is not the purpose of this blog. I suppose it's just that, well, when I ride I can really *think* about everything. I was thinking a lot about my kid today is all. I was wishing he was with me.
So my husband and I just recently bought a house. I was so happy to learn that we are only 4 miles away from a really fantastic 30mi bike trail!
I woke up this morning, checked the weather -- decided I would go anyway (haha) -- and hit the pavement.
I'm a little out of shape, I could only do 16.5mi. Thought I was going to have a stroke at the half-way point. I mean that in a funny way, not in the "I was really going to have a stroke" kind of way. I had to take a 15 minute break to cool off and eat some walnuts and raisins for the carbs.
Life is good.

[Video] Rappers rapped over the knuckles
Principal Juju steps in to bring an end to the ongoing feud between rappers AKA and Cassper Nyovest, with interesting results.
Principal Juju steps in to bring an end to the ongoing feud between rappers AKA and Cassper Nyovest, with interesting results.
A heated exchange between candidate Shyam Gyanda and JSC commissioner Julius Malema explored the touchy issue of ethnicity, race and Africanness.
This week we take a look at the crime stats, the corrupt take a stand against the corrupt and just so you know, we are not gays!
"You can take me to jail for that, Cyril has got blood of innocent people. I will never withdraw that and I will never apologise to Cyril."
Julius Malema ended another rowdy day in Parliament saying it was clear "we will never get an answer" and that he'd see Jacob Zuma "in court".
In this week's episode we look at potential job losses in the gold sector, Juju sort of has his day in court and Cecil the lion is still making news.
Has the infamous "pay back the money" catchphrase come back to haunt the EFF's commander-in-chief?
All the shock, disapproval and applause that greeted Judge Billy Mothle's decision to strike Julius Malema's case off the roll.
The case against Julius Malema may have been struck off the roll, but the charges remain unanswered.
The EFF is determined that, during Thursday's National Assembly, the president will say when he plans to pay back the Nkandla overspend.
The trial of Julius Malema has been adjourned in the Polokwane High Court for the judge to hear an application for a separation of trials.
The fraud trial of Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema and his co-accused is expected to start in Polokwane on Monday.
Economic Freedom Fighter MP Emanuel Mtileni says the pic on social media was of him napping during a lunch hour in Burgersfort and not in Parliament.
In Mzansi politics, if there is ever a light at the end of the tunnel, you'd better hope it's not Jacob Zuma.

Definitely can't complain, got a decent yield of fairly tasty squash, however the PM resistance was largely a fail and if you have the space you will probably get better yield and taste from a vining variety, though these did fail at bush towards the end and sent out vines.

Total crop failure. I am curious about the positive ratings. Probably because of its "bush" nature it lacked vigor, despite a good location and frequent feeding. It was late to produce any flowers at all, and very late to produce any females. Only one fruit survived long enough to be harvestable, and it is so poor quality it would be considered a "cull" by a farmer. Contrary to advertisement it not only got powdery mildew it is the ONLY cucurbit in my yard that got powdery mildew, and furthermore, it collapsed and died while others are still limping along and ripening fruits. I have a few photos documenting its poor performance. I've considered that my latitude (47.5 degrees) might have contributed to its poor performance, but another bush-type squash, a Styrian Hulless type, did fine. Squ... read more

Delicatas, for me, are the best tasting winter squash. This bush variety produces more, in a smaller space, and is more disease resistant than the older varieties. Bake or boil; split and remove seeds; maybe add a bit of salt and butter; eat with a spoon. Doesn't get any better. often called the sweet potato squash as the flavor/texture is much like sweet potatoes.

Beautiful vigorous plant, that produces delicious, thinskin squash, white with greenstripes at maturity, 6"-8" long. Have lost several fruits, brown end rot, probably from moist soil contact. Growing in raised bed, 50-50 mix planting soil & compost. Aphids really love this plant, so invest in ladybugs. Little fertilizer, once a week, for 3 weeks while less than 2' hi.

New variety bred by Cornell University, with more disease tolerance (particularly to powdery mildew) and better yields in a smaller space. Winner of the 2002 AAS award, it has the added bonus of being open pollinated, rather than an F1 hybrid. Produces 1 1/2 - 2 pound fruit, maturing in 80 days. Will store for approximately 100 days.

Special to the Enterprise
The sun has been teasing us and we hope it starts to hang out more often. We are over the rain. Ugh. Bleck. Enough already. We here in the Community Services department, love the rain, but we are really ready to get outside!
Thoughts of 90 degrees and bermudas dance in our heads. We've been thinking of summer 2011 for over seven months. When you were carving your pumpkins, we were planning field trips. When you were thinking about how thankful you were in November, we were scouting new camp offerings (skate camp and teen camp, to be exact).
Yes, we are obsessed with summertime. Why? For one thing, it beats rainy weather any day. Secondly, the days are longer and ice cream tastes better. And finally… no homework! Woo-hoo! This might be the best reason of all. Who doesn't love not having homework? Uh, no one! Now, we know homework helps concrete the lessons taught during the school day and we'll reluctantly get back to it come late August. But right now, with summer around the corner, this is what many a parent and child is on hanging for! It's time to party like it is summer 2011!
The City of Davis Summer Recreation Schedule is on the streets and online at http://www.cityofdavis.org.
Open registration begins Tuesday, April 19. You can come stand in line if that is what floats your boat, or you can go online and register there. Please make sure you have created a household account through the Community Services Department in advance.
There are lots of programs still available. We've got swim lessons, summer camps, half-day programs, preschool options, gymnastics, etc. We are all that and a compostable bag of chips. We are also busy prepping for July's park and recreation month.
Too much, you say? Nah, never! When your town has over 30 DIFFERENT youth camps and programs for summer, you need to a give a shout out. Not every city has the variety and dedicated staff. Camp Putah's director is coming back for a record fifth year! The majority of the aquatic lifeguards are 3- or 4-year veterans and 90 percent of the summer camp leaders are returning and ready for some fun with your children. This means we are bringing consistency, know-how and excitement again this summer.
So, whether it's teaching your six-year-old to let go of the side of the pool in morning or evening swim lessons, or having your teenager learn job skills in the many available teen programs, the city of Davis has something for your child.
Don't hesitate… recreate!

There's no secret about the talent that Greenfield, Ohio, McClain junior Dante Jackson possesses. He was showered with accolades this past season after making the Tigers one of the best teams in the state. As his junior season is nearing a close, his recruitment is about to take center stage.
Dayton coaches Brian Gregory, Billy Schmidt, and Reggie Rankin all came to McClain games at some point this season to watch the Tiger scorer. Jackson said that BG was at the home game against Miami Trace on January 6. "Actually, I shot the ball extremely well that night," Jackson admitted when asked of his performance in front of Dayton's head coach. "I had a double-double with 38 points."
He finished the season averaging 28.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists while helping the Tigers to a Sectional Championship before bowing out to Logan Elm in the District Semifinals. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

(Sports Network) - The Buffalo Sabres will continue their charge for a playoff
spot when they visit the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers tonight
at Madison Square Garden.
The Sabres enter today one point behind Washington for the eighth and final
postseason berth in the East and the Capitals are also in action tonight
against visiting Winnipeg.
Buffalo has won two straight and boasts a 4-0-2 record in its last six trips
to the ice. All told, the Sabres have lost just two games in regulation in the
last month, going 11-2-4 over a 17-game stretch.
"We've put together a good run to get where we're at," Sabres head coach Lindy
Ruff said after his club's win Wednesday against Montreal. "We know there's a
tough schedule ahead of us, but it's rewarding to get as close as we've gotten
right now."
Buffalo has outscored the opposition by a combined 10-3 margin in its last two
contests, posting a 7-3 win Monday in Tampa Bay before Ryan Miller notched his
sixth shutout of the season in Wednesday's 3-0 decision over the visiting
Montreal Canadiens.
Miller posted 34 stops to record the 28th shutout of his career. It was the
former Vezina Trophy winner's third shutout in his last 11 starts.
Cody Hodgson scored twice, Jason Pominville lit the lamp, and Derek Roy added
two assists for the Sabres. Hodgson now has two goals and two assists in his
last two games after going without a point in his first 10 games with Buffalo
following a trade last month with Vancouver.
"Well, I said after the game in Tampa that getting a couple assists was going
to be a boost for him. You know, you feel good about that and I thought
tonight he probably could've had four or five points," Ruff said of the 22-
year-old Hodgson.
Tonight, the Sabres will try to avoid getting swept in the season series by
the powerful Rangers, who are leading the East and Atlantic Division by one
point over idle Pittsburgh. New York is also just two points behind St. Louis
for the top seed in the NHL and the Blues, who have played two more games than
the Rangers, are off this evening.
New York is 3-0 against Buffalo this year, but needed to go past regulation to
win the last two encounters. Overall, the Rangers have claimed five of seven
in this series and Buffalo has lost two of its last three games in the Big
The Rangers are capping a seven-game homestand tonight and are 4-2 on the
residency after posting victories in the last two outings. New York registered
a 4-2 win Monday against the rival New Jersey Devils and then earned its first
win over the Detroit Red Wings in more than eight years with an overtime
decision on Wednesday.
Ryan Callahan's goal with 2:18 remaining in OT lifted the Blueshirts to a 2-1
victory over Detroit. It was New York's first victory over its Original Six
rivals since October 25, 2003.
The winner was set up by defenseman Michael Del Zotto, who held the puck near
the blue line after a dish from Brandon Dubinsky up the left wing. He centered
for Callahan, whose rising wrister hit the back of the net just under the
"I think we're starting to get our groove back, and we're starting to play how
we want and how we were playing earlier in the year," said Rangers captain
Callahan, who celebrated his 27th birthday on Wednesday. "It's an important
time of year, and we've got to keep building and keep going.
Brad Richards tallied in regulation for the Rangers, while Henrik Lundqvist
earned his 34th win of the year with 26 saves.
The Rangers had forward Artem Anisimov back on Wednesday after he sat out two
games with a shoulder injury. Defenseman Steve Eminger has sat out three
straight games with an undisclosed injury and is questionable for tonight.
New York, which is 26-9-2 as the host this year, will begin a three-game road
trip when it visits Toronto on Saturday. The Rangers also have a solid 20-11-5
mark as the guest.
With a point tonight, the Rangers can post their first 100-point season since
2005-06 when they hit the century mark on the nose.

Veg. Wisdom: Apple and Rabbit
Harvey Diamond – "You put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I'll buy you a new car."
"把一个苹果ã€ä¸€åªå…"å和一个婴儿一起放进摇篮里,如果这个婴儿把兔åç»™åƒäº†ï¼Œè€Œæ‹¿è‹¹æžœæ¥çŽ©ï¼Œæˆ'å°±ä¹°ä¸€è¾†è½¦ç»™ä½ â€
Apparently, human's nature behaviour or logic will go for apple. Are you agree with this?
This is a logic for a human to choose between fresh fruit and fresh meat.
Someone, please Google for me some photo of "baby eating rabbit" rather than "baby eating apple"? lol…..
Some people asked me, how about "kitten + apple + rabbit"?
My precious, my lovely cat ~Xiao Hua, love to eat Broccoli and Durian! Rabbit, for her, is just a Playmate!? LOL…

News Summary: Spain urged to delay 'bad bank'
BAD BANK: The European Commission has asked Spain to delay by another week the plans to create a "bad bank", a fund pooling much of its financial sector's soured property investments, so that experts in Brussels can review the project, the government in Madrid said Friday.
THE DELAY: The plan was initially scheduled to be approved at Friday's Cabinet meeting, but will now is scheduled to be cleared at the next ministers' meeting Aug. 31.
THE PURPOSE: Spain must create the "bad bank" as a condition for accessing a loan of up to (EURO)100 billion ($125.5 billion) from the 16 other countries using the euro to fix its troubled banks.

Okay so basically I really like this serum, but it tends to be a little on the greasy side and makes my hands feel slippery and gross. But it really does make my hair less frizzy. I usually combine it with Garnier Shine Spray. Overall good results. I keep it in my schoolbag.

helps to detangle my wavy hair in the morning before i head out. smells awesome !!! prob will buy it again.

I have really unruly curly hair, and i must say that this stuff really does the trick! It is not sticky, it it lightweight and it smells amazing! I put about one and a half pumps of this through my whole hair and then use a curling cream. Using this in conjunction with any other sort of curling product really makes a difference! such a grand serum and it is so cheap!

This product is really good, it actually compares to my favorite John Frieda serum. I've been using hair serums for about 11 years now and I've tried all sort of brands, high end and drugstore products and most of them have very thick consistency. It never occurred to me to try this one because the liquid seems so thin, I had tried another product that looked similar in consistency but did not help with frizz just added a little shine. My sister had this one in her bathroom so I tried it out, and it was a very pleasant surprise =) I've used it more frequently now and it works really good, my hair feels smooth and with little frizz, I have medium-long, wavy, thick hair and this liquid can control it very well. I still think that John Frieda serum works better for my hair, but I can find this for half the price and double the amount of product... Love it!

I love this product. Argan oil is my go to hair product but finding a drugstore product that contains a decent amount is hard. Many drugstores carry products that only contain a small amount of argan oil but a bunch of other random ingredients.
This product has argan oil listed as the THIRD ingrident. I was shocked at that AND the price- $5-6. It's crazy because some drugstore products have argan oil products for around $7-10!!! And those products only have a small amount!
I am NOT a fan of the shampoo and conditioner that go with this product. Using all 3 was okay but I had MUCH better results by using a different shampoo + condition with this serum. Honestly, I'd say use a different shampoo and conditioner- whatever is your favorite.
This product with argan oil makes my hair silky and smooth. And it keeps my hair soft between showers (i shower every other day to not dry out skin and hair) so that is a huge plus.
Another plus is that, unlike other serums, you can add this to dry hair and it makes it soft and shiny. MANY serums claim that you can use them on dry hair but when you do it makes your hair weighed down and tangly. Not this product! Wet or dry, it's great.
I was NOT a fan of the original formula of this but I love it now that it added argan oil. It's a HUGE step up and of course I will buy again!

This product surprised me. It really does make my hair 'sleek & shine' without weighing it down. I have very fine, frizzy hair WITH breakage -_-
No other shine serum would provide the moisture and silkiness my hair needs like THIS product. Absolutely reccomend it! Been using it for a year with no complaints! I didn't give it 5 lipsticks because well, it doesn't smell like my favorite scent, mango =p

This product is the real deal! It sleeked and shined without weighing my hair down. Moreover, the ingredient list is impressive. Hope they don't cheapen it later.

This is AMAZING. It doesn't weight my hair down, makes it SILKY & SOFT! And shiny. It's pretty cheap too. I also love that its more liquid-y, than thick, if you know what I mean. I will def repurchase.

Holy grail product, this product is just that, holy. It does a holy job of making your hair silky. My hair is DRY just sooo dry and this stuff makes my hair silky smooth. When it means silky, it means SILKY.
I swear to you this stuff is as good as it gets.
This thing does what I tried finding in leave-conditioners, which I never did and never could. This smoothes my hair and leaves it baby soft. I really love it and this product will instantly make you a long term customer with just one use, as it made me.
Best stuff Ive ever tried. I wish for every dry hair gal to try this, because this is what they're missing.

This has replaced my Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream and John Frieda serum as my go-to protectant for my long, thick hair, for a couple of reasons. One, it's cheap (approximately $5 CAD for a bottle that lasts me many, many months, in comparison to $15 for the John Frieda, which lasts me only a couple of months). Two, it works incredibly well.
When I use this on wet hair and leave my hair to air dry, it's as if I've used nothing at all. But my hair is like that - frizz city. It definitely requires heat to tame it. But when I use this before blow drying, it smoothes out my strands like no other. It really seals it, but never weighs it down, although I'm careful to use only a couple of dime sized drops, rub it between my palms, and work it through the bottom section of my hair. Doing this ensures silky, frizz free hair, all day long, regardless of weather and humidity levels.

However, I do not take my electric power and machines class for another two semesters and am interested in learning about AC/DC motors and generators in my spare time. Can anyone recommend any good books? I want the book to go into fair detail on the construction of these devices, not just an overview of the physics. But I'm not looking for a textbook really, just something in the $50 range. Thank you.

Once I've got a huge graph, though, I don't know how to process it, especially if there are cycles. for instance, I like mike better than sam, sam better than jared, jared better than mike - it doesn't make sense to simply assign votes and count them (which is what I think kitten war does). Further, I may one day get mike vs jared and vote one way, but vote differently if I get it on another day.
- Once you have the data, how to process the graph and rank the names?
- What other useful algorithms might be used to make choices (say vehicle style, if you're looking for a new car)?
