# Postage stamp block

In philately, a block is a group of four or more un-separated stamps. Blocks are of interest not only because they are rarer than individual stamps, but they also preserve relative positions of stamps as they were originally printed, information that is crucial to understanding how the stamps were produced.

## Format

Blocks of stamps from the edges of the original sheet or pane often include sections of the sheet's margin, which may have a wide variety of information. For instance, arrow blocks preserve the guide lines used by line up the sheets for perforation or other production steps (these are usually angled in an arrow shape, thus the name), and center line blocks includes lines printed down the middle of a sheet. An imprint block includes the name of the printer, while for many United States stamps the zip block includes a promotional mention of the ZIP code.
Typical examples of blocks are:
Traffic Lights Block
Traffic Lights block contains the color registration markings in the stamp margins.
Imprint Block
Imprint block contains the name of printer in either bottom or top margin of the stamp sheet.
Plate Block
The most commonly collected kind of block is the plate block, which includes the part of the margin where the serial numbers of the printing plates may be found.
Gutter Block
Gutter block contains stamp margins which are normally at corners of stamps are in the centre of block of stamps.

## Values

Although blocks of rare stamps are highly valued, a block's price may actually be so high that no buyers can be found, leaving the owner with the agonizing prospect of breaking up the block, so as to be able to sell the stamps individually. In some cases, dealers have publicized plans to break up a famous block, in the hopes of that someone will come forward to save the block from destruction.
# Xun Lei Chong

The xun lei chong (simplified Chinese: 迅雷铳; traditional Chinese: 迅雷銃; lit. 'Thundering fast firearm') is a revolving-barrel, spear-combined musket.
The five thin gun barrels of the xun lei chong are connected behind a reinforced shield: like the five thunder divine machine, the gunner could rotate the fuse 72 degrees and swiftly light each barrel with his match. These weapons would serve as defensive weapons, and were fired from walls or high positions like hillocks and ridges. They were recorded to be deadly at 120 paces.
The central firing device is a combination of a detachable spear, five tubings, and a firing mechanism, all fitted together with interlocking grooves. The shield could be pulled off from the front and slung on the hand, and the gun's rest is a double-sided hand axe.

# What Happened to Mr. Forster?

What Happened to Mr. Forster? is a 1981 novel by Gary W. Bargar. It is a story of a young boy's first encounter with the complexities of the adult world.
The ALAN Review has recommended the novel be taught at the middle-school level. 'It is appropriate for a young audience as it pertains to a sixth-grade class and deals with issues that students this age are beginning to discover and rationalize. Bargar shows how homosexuality is perceived as immoral and the ultimate sin by a predominately conservative Christian community. At the same time, he emphasizes the fact that homosexuals are people who have feelings, emotions, and feel love just as anyone else.' The Safe Schools Coalition has also recommended the book for Elementary Libraries & Classrooms.

## Plot summary

Louis Lamb is a twelve-year-old boy who lives in Kansas City, Missouri in 1958. A new homosexual teacher, Jack Forster, takes an interest in Louis, an attractive but vulnerable child who likes playing with china animals rather than joining in the ball games the other boys love. He gives Louis one-on-one softball coaching and helps him develop his writing talent.
Parents in the community, however, are suspicious of the teacher who lives with another man. Forster doesn't do anything in any way inappropriate with the boy, just occasionally squeezing his shoulder, but they do spend quite a lot of time together. Eventually, some of the children's parents start a witch-hunt against Forster, assuming that, because he is gay, his interest in Louis must be sexual. He is fired, and effectively blacklisted. Louis is devastated by losing his favourite teacher, a man who improved the boy's self esteem and developed his latent talents. Louis does not understand, nor does he feel it fair that Mr. Forster, who is such a good teacher and brings out the best in him, has been fired.
Louis goes round to Mr. Forster's house to talk to him. Forster immediately rings Louis' Aunt Zona and asks her to come and collect him. In the meantime he sits and talks with Louis. Mr. Forster explains to him that life isn't always fair and that sometimes people just don't understand how other people love each other. On the way home, Aunt Zona says "I think your Mr. Forster is really good at heart. Maybe the Lord will forgive him for being that way."
On the last page of the novel, when the children have been asked by their new teacher to write a thought for the day, Louis knew what to do: 'Then I took out my pen, but not to write down the Thought for the Day. I wrote about Mr. Forster.'
