The AS50 Sniper Rifle, developed by the reputed British Accuracy International Ltd., was designed to be a gas-operated, semi-automatic rifle capable of firing multiple rounds in quick succession with extreme accuracy at long ranges. Similar to bolt action rifles, the AS50 fires 50 cal (12.7 mm) rounds, including AP incindiary rounds.

First unveiled at the 2005 USA Shot-Show, the AS50 was designed specifically for US NAVY SOCOM users, and is currently under tests by the US NAVY Special Operations Center. The rifle supports a 5 round detachable magazine and utilizes a "single rear locking" bolt. The 692 mm barrel is machined from high-grade steel, and other key parts of the rifle are made from titanium, reducing the overall weight to 14.1 kg unloaded.

Equiped with a standard folding bi-pod, four sling mounts, as well as sporting 3 (one on top, two on side)picatinny-style rail mounts, the AS50 is compatible with most scopes and rifle accessories. The AS50 is also able to be striped and disassembled in under 3 minutes for cleaning, transportation, or storage.

TestMaster

 * This request for creation has been reviewed. The result is below.

TestMaster is a type of pencil expertly hand-crafted in Alabama. The pencils are not well known and are very rare. Each TestMaster No.2 pencil has a trademarked pure silver eraser ferrule and an eraser crafted out of the world’s finest hand-harvested rubber. Fittes sold his pencils through mail order. These pencils are well known to major pencil collectors.

Early History
The first TestMaster pencils have been dated back to 1962. The pencils were crafted by a British archer named Luke Fittes from 1962 until 1974. Fittes was a poor man, born somewhere between 1939 and 1941 in England, who spent much of his time in Berlin, studying the effects of extreme cold weather. Fittes was known for drinking “three eggnogs and a large sandwich” while working, which he claimed helped “bring his brainpower to the max”. In 1961, after graduating from an un-named vocational college, Fittes moved to Aliceville, Alabama to continue his observation of weather. During this time, supposedly Fittes broke his last writing untensil and constructed the world’s first TestMaster out of a stick found in the woods in the back of his cabin and leftover charcoal. Soon after, Fittes’ distant relative Eugine Fittes came to his cabin to beg for money. During this, Eugine used Fittes’ TestMaster. Eugine found that the TestMaster was the most comfortable pencil she had ever used, and brought Luke to an un-named indipendent novelist. This novelist loved Fittes’ pencil so much that he/she payed Fittes a sum of $600 for him to construct 100 of the pencils for him/her.

The First 100
16.	Fittes crafted the first one hundred TestMaster pencils according to the specification of his original hand crafted pencil. These pencils were called the “TestMaster 100”, named after the amount of pencils Fittes made in that run-off. These are known as the most collectable of all TestMaster pencils. Due to popularity and rarity, this model was re-issued in 1970 under the model number “100R”. The novelist told all his/her friends about the marvelous pencils, thus making a higher demand for Fittes’ TestMaster pencils.

Name Origins
The TestMaster name, according to a close friend of Fittes, was created in terms of 'put to the test'. The TestMaster pencils are known for their durability, and various users will agree that they are the most comfortable pencil to take standardized test for.

End of the TestMaster Era
Fittes' demand for TestMasters kept growing and growing. In 1974, he planned on expanding his work area from his small Aliceville cabin to a factory. Sometime in the spring of 1974, Fittes had a shaving accident. He had run out of blades for his razor so he used a steak knife. After attempting to shave, he had so many facial injuries and deformities that he went out into the woods and shot himself with an arrow, using his previous self-taught arching skills. This brought the end of the TestMaster pencils forever. There has been attempts to reproduce various models of the TestMaster, but all ended up second-rate and were no where near as successful as Fittes' original pencils.

Models
Between 1963 and 1974, Fittes created short runs of TestMasters for the public. Here is a list of all the models, the manufacture year(s), and the original prices paid (according to the TestMaster Gallery webpage):

TestMaster 100 (1962, custom run off; $600USD for quantity of 100) TestMaster 400 (1963-1964, 300 made; $50 each) TestMaster 1000 (1964-1967, over 1000 made; $100 each) TestMaster 1000B (1965, The Beatles logo carved into side, less than 25 made; giveaways at a Aliceville record store with the purchase of a Bealtes 65 LP) TestMaster 2000 (1967-1969, about 800 made; $50 each) TestMaster 2000RW (1968, about 50 made, made of redwood; $150 each) TestMaster 3000 (1969, 300-400 made; $150 each) TestMaster 4000 (1969-1972, 2000 made; $75 each) TestMaster 100R (1970, 300 made, re-issue of model 100; $100 each) TestMaster 8600B (1972-74, 1000 made; $90 each)

Known Prototype Models
TestMaster 2 (Made in 1962 after the original model 100 runoff, proved to be innificient; replaced by Model 400) TestMaster 5000 (Made in 1971 as a test. Less than 3 made. Rarest of all TestMaster pencils) TestMaster 9000X (Made in 1974. 500 made. Were going to be sold as the new model but are considered a prototype because they were unreleased because of Fittes' shaving incident)

 * This request for creation has been reviewed. The result is below.

The Do Not Disturb or (DND) function on most PBX or PABX systems prevent calls from ringing at the extension where DND is activated. Some Do Not Disturb (DND) atributes include directing the call to a prediscribed extention (like a secretary or assistant), busy signal, DND signal or a recorded message generated by the telephone switch. Some switches even allow the call to ring through to the extention, without any audible indication, only visual. Some PBX systems even have codes assigned for supervisors to circumvent the DND function. -->

Saturday Night Special

A Saturday Night Special is specific takeover bid practice where the acquiror delivers documents to the target company's shareholders but provides them with little time to determine whether or not to accept the tender offer. The term originated during the bid by firearms manufacturer Colt Industries for Garlock Industries. Garlock tried to fight of the bid by placing ads in leading newspapers that called the coercive bid a "Saturday Night Special."

Securities regulators' objectives in approaching tender offers and takeover bids are to ensure that shareholders are treated equally, that the target can seek out alternative bidders and that shareholders are given sufficient time to assess the adequacy and reasonableness of an offer. Thus, many securities acts contain provisions that provide some minimum time period between starting a tender offer, and requiring shareholders to tender their shares. In Ontario, for example, the Securities Act provides a minimum of 21 days between mailing bid documents and requiring tenders.

The Chandra were an Indian dynasty who ruled much of the Udaipur region of Rajasthan for long periods between the 14th to the 18th centuries AD. Chandra dynasty is famous in the Indian History for the valiant king Vidyadhar who repulsed the attacks of Mehmood Gaznavi. His love for sculptures is shown in the world famed temples of Khajuraho and Kalinjar fort. Chandra Vanshi Rajputs are found in large numbers in India and are staunch Hindu in their religious faith.

History

Adhikari or Chandra is a Clan found in Rajputs in India. An inscription found at Gaharwala projects them as belonging to Puru dynasty of classical Indian legend.

In the early 17th century, the Chandra's ruled the fortress-city of Kalinjar. A dynastic struggle (c.912-914 AD) among the Pratiharas provided them with the opportunity to extend their domain. They captured the strategic fortress of Gwalior (c.950) under the leadership of Dhanga (ruled 950-1008). Dhanga's grandson Vidyadhara (1017-29) expanded the Chandra kingdom to its greatest extent, from the Chambal river in the northwest to the Narmada River in the south, thus covering a large portion of the present-day state of Rajasthan to Tamil Nadu. The Afghan king Mahmud of Ghazni along with the support of Raja Vikram Aditya attacked the Chandra Vanshi dominions during Vidydhara's reign, but did not retain any Adhikari's territory. In the 12th century, the Chauhan rulers of Ajmer challenged the Chandra's. The Muslim conquests of the early 13th century reduced the Adhikari domains, although they survived until the 16th century as minor chieftains. The last of Chandra rulers can be traced to the Sachendi (a township just outside Kanpur, The erstwhile ruler of the state of Sachendi Hindu Singh Adhikari led the foundations of the city of Kanpur which lies in the doab of Ganga & Yamuna & is just bordering the bundelkhand region.

A dynasty claiming to be descended from the Chandra's ruled the state of Bilaspur in present-day Himachal Pradesh until India secured its independence in 1947.

And Finally the descendend's of Chandra dynasty settled in West Bengal, and named a town Chandpur Patna and there after getting huge respect by lord ram devotees assigned their title from Chandra to Adhikari.

The Brightest Young Minds Foundation aims to inspire the up-and-coming generation of Australians to have greater social responsibility and contribute to the common good of Australian society. They believe this can be achieved by educating and demonstrating how one's personal success can be enhanced within the context of socially responsible behaviour.

It was formed by a group of South African Students in 2000.

This was called "masterclass".

The concept is to take 100 of the "top" students from tertiary institutions in South Africa, and now Australia, and put them in a brain storming conference.

From this, ideas have materialised. As an example of an implemented idea, a university called Tsiba was formed. This university is for underpriviladged students.

Sponsors for this include BHP billiton, Vodacom and Deloitte.
