This is one of the walls at the Gallery showing most of the Love Tokens. Definitely was a great reception. These were blank thin wooden hearts, and about 20 different artists did whatever they
wanted to paint or collage or both to them. Even I did four, but I must admit it's not my "bag", and I didn't have fun doing them. Mine are the pathetic ones on the far right!

Arriving at Medstead and Four Marks station, former British Railways class 9F locomotive, 92212 is about to exchange the token giving permission to porceed with its train towards Alton.
Former British Railways class 9F steam locomotive, number 92212 is seen arriving at Medstead, and the top of the stiff climb from Ropley, with service to Alton.
The British Railways Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 was designed for BR by Robert Riddles. The 9F’s were the last in a series of standardised locomotive classes designed for BR during the 1950s, and was intended for use on fast, heavy freight trains over long distances. It was one of the most powerful locomotive types ever constructed in Britain and successfully performed its intended duties.
At various times during the 1950s, the 9Fs worked passenger trains with great success, indicating the versatility of the design, considered to represent the ultimate in British steam development. Several variants were constructed for experimentation purposes in an effort to reduce costs and maintenance, although these met with varying degrees of success. The total number built was 251, production being shared between Swindon (53) and Crewe Works (198). The last of the class, 92220 Evening Star, was the final steam locomotive to be built by BR, in 1960. Withdrawals began in 1964, with the final locomotives removed from service in 1968. Several examples have survived into the preservation era in varying states of repair, including Evening Star.
The 9F was designed at both Derby and Brighton Works in 1951 to operate freight trains of up to 900 tons (914 tonnes) at 35 mph (56 km/h) with maximum fuel efficiency. The original proposal was for a boiler from the BR Standard Class 7 Britannia 4-6-2, adapting it to a 2-8-2 wheel arrangement, but Riddles eventually settled upon a 2-10-0 type because it had been successfully utilised on some of his previous Austerity locomotives; distributing the adhesive weight over five axles gave a maximum axle load of only 15 tons, 10 cwt. However, in order to clear the rear coupled wheels the grate had to be set higher, thus reducing firebox volume.
There were many problems associated with locomotives of such a long wheelbase, but these were solved by the design team through a series of compromises. The driving wheels were 5 feet 0 inches (1.5 m) in diameter, and the centre driving wheels were without flanges, whilst those on the second and fourth coupled wheels were reduced in depth. This enabled the locomotive to round curves of a radius as small as 400 feet (120 m). 92212 carries the Bath Green Park (82F) shed code where she was based for a short period in 1961. Whilst there she worked over the Somerset & Dorset hauling trains such as the ‘Pines Express’.

This week's Creative Thursday assignment prompted me to write up a very simple baby sweater knitting recipe that I've had spread across scribbled notes for the last year and a half. My intention was to pull together a very, very simple baby sweater that could be knit with any yarn on hand, straight needles and little to no seaming (you seem a max of 8 stitches in this pattern!). Meaning, above all else, you could knit one very, very quickly (I scribbled all those notes in the midst of a baby boom across my friends and family).
Of course, so far, I've been the only test-knitter and it makes PERFECT sense to me, so if someone DOES knit this up, I would love to see pictures, get feedback, etc. Thank you!

Funding for the solar lights was provided by one of gentleman from USA. His name is not mentioned here on his advice.
First distribution ceremony was held on Thursday October 12, 2017 in Shaleemabad, Achaar Khaskeli & Shanti Nagar ALCs located in Tando Allahyar districts.
Lt. Gen (Retd.) Syed Perwaiz Shahid a renowned educationist was chief guest for the event.

During the ceremony 72 female students received solar lanterns. PEP will organize another event in Hyderabad for the distribution of remaining solar lights in November 2017.
Hope you are well , I am fine too. We are thankful for all your support through lights that you have provided to Women who are part of Adult literacy classes. As I have received a call from Mr Shahid i am sharing the following information with you.
Women Empowerment groups were started in 2013 in all the PEP schools. The ideas was to provide awareness to women regarding their rights, responsibilities, savings, and issues such as early marriage. These women were provided training on building low cost washroom and they were also provided training on how to save their families during severe floods. At present PEP has 67 groups in total. Each group has a group of 10 females.
In 2016 , on the request of women, adult literacy course is introduced to the women. Project aimed at 5 centres in 2016 but 27 centre were started in 2016. they women were provide free books and no fee was charged from them. A mobilizer from the same village taught these classes.. They course is designed for one year as it is a weekly class.
In 2017 , PEP introduced a centre where women can learn from android tablets. PEP has designed three grade applications in Sindhi on tablets which are useful for these women. They can use those applications and hear sounds and can read the sentences and stories.
Now women are able to read and write sentences. Instead of thumb print they can write their names. They developed their confidence and able to perform theater on sensitive issues. Some of the theatre performances are uploaded on PEP website.
PEP is reaching out to the marginalized communities with a hope of educating them and making them effective citizen of our country.
PEP requested you to distribute these light as a token of thanks and as a resource for them so they can use it in the night too. They are thankful for all the encouragement that you have provided to them.
Please feel free to ask further information.
Round wooden disc with small hole in center. Blue in color. Stamped in both sides the following: "MEAT" above hole in disk, "VIANDE" below hole, "CANADA" along the top curve of the disk, "RATION" along the bottom curve.
The practice of rationing was practiced in Canada from 1939-1947. Meat was rationed from May 27, 1943 to February 29, 1944 and from September 9, 1945 to March 26, 1947. The second period of meat rationing gave rise to the holed, blue "meat ration" token, a pressed-wood token given as change as one-eighth of a weekly meat ration coupon.
