A little hunter I just finished up with some progress pics. It is 1084 steel with a stabilized box elder burl handle and a brass guard.
Just off the anvil.
Forging done and profiled.
Ricasso flattened in preparation for laying out for grinding and for fitting the guard.
Starting to fit the brass guard with a guard press.
The guard slotted and rough shaped.

Thanks for looking – happy making,

Saturday August 26th, 2017 (1pm CDT) – four of us are going to do an Instagram hammer-in (#instagramhammerin) for you all to watch. We will each forge a knife of our own design, starting with the same sized stock, forge for two hours, and show a picture of the blade every 10 minutes or so.
There will be four smiths working ABS Mastersmith Lin Rhea, Forged in Fire contestant Robert Burns (Wilderness Ironworks) , blacksmith instructor Matt Jenikns (Cloverdale Forge), and me.
This is not a contest. No prizes will be awarded – it's just for fun and hopefully the pictures will be an educational resource for new bladesmiths.
We hope you follow along, ask questions, and enjoy these great smiths (and me) showing us their forging step by step. Follow along by watching the hashtag #instagramhammerin

I started this knife quite a while ago. It has been sitting on my bench for over a year – until now.
I made it to be part of a hunting set and showed the smaller first knife here quite a while ago.
Here are the two knives finally together.
I carry the smaller knife as a fixed blade edc pocket knife.
They are both 01 steel with green micarta handles and red liners. The blade on the larger one is about 3″.
I also made the sheath and to be honest – I almost enjoyed that as much as making the knife.
Happy Making and new year to you,
Integral Knife forged from 52100Posted in Blacksmithing, Forging, knifemaking, metalwork, Tool Making with tags 52100, blacksmithing, bladesmithing, hand forged knife, stag handle on November 4, 2013 by Jim
I recently got a beautiful integral fixed blade knife from Master Smith Ray Kirk. I like it so much that I had to try and make one for myself. I bought a couple 3/8″ round bars of the 52100 from Ray and here is what I came up with:
Thanks to my friend Dave from Circle H forge for the beautiful piece of stag.
Lots of folks have been helping me with all this. Ray spent an hour walking me through how to make a blade like this.
Also, Master Smith Lin Rhea is always there with an answer to anything I need help with.
I have come to find that the folks in the American Bladesmith Society are just some of the best people out there.

Oh Happy Dagger…Posted in Blacksmithing, Forging, knifemaking, metalwork with tags dagger, knifemaking on July 26, 2011 by Jim
Making a dagger from a file.
A friend had this blank for years. It was started by his pal. He told me that he wanted to make or have it made into a finished dagger so he can return it to its original creator as a surprise. Maybe there is a little romance in the fact that he has carried it around all this time. I get sentimentally attached to objects myself, so this project interested me.
I'm all in when I think there is a little history or romance in a project. I spent a little quiet time with it last night and here is where we got:
The blank was still hard as diamonds when I got it, so it went in the forge and got annealed. After, I ground the sides flat just enough to put the purple layout dye on it, scribe a center line, and begin to layout the tang.
More to come soon as I can get back into the shop.
Happy Making,

On a backstreet behind Spitalfields Market, this cosy no-bookings Indian may be small and unassuming, but the menu is certainly explosive. "Great food, lovely atmosphere, fantastic service", exclaims one fan – and we share his enthusiasm for Gunpowder's spicy offer.
Set against an unfussy backdrop of exposed brickwork and steel chairs, the concise menu is rich in rustic Indian sharing dishes inspired by family recipes. Readers have singled out the venison and vermicelli 'doughnut', the aloo chat and the "sticky and sweet" Nagaland pork ribs with crunchy tamarind kachumber, but we're fans of the 'chutney cheese sandwich' and the organic baby chicken char-grilled in tandoori spices.The short dessert list also offers something for everyone: molten spice chocolate cake, comforting 'old monk' rum pudding or refreshing passion fruit and mint granita. Wine straddle the globe, but don't ignore the Asian-inspired cocktails, made with ingredients such as masala Coca-Cola. "Reasonable prices" seal the deal.

This is perfect fit for the camera and fits a laptop.
I bought this one for my friend as his birthday gift. He love it. He likes how it look, easy to take his camera in / out. It's easy for him to grab and go fast.

I love this backpack. Bought it specifically for an African safari holiday & it did the job perfectly. It fitted all my camera gear and plenty more. The quality is excellent too & the comfort superb. If I had to fault one small thing it would be the top compartment buckled flap. It is not actually a separate flap, it is attached to the zipper, therefore made it a little hard to zip/unzip as it needed to be down. Other than that, I will continue to get many more useful days/outing/holidays out of this backpack.

Absolutely LOVE this bag! I do a lot of hiking, and this is a perfect fit for all my needs out on the trails!

I dig it! I actually only purchased this backpack because the other model was sold out but really like it! I actually might like this one more because of the laptop insert. But overall a really great backpack to pack gear

Climb: From Mappaz, follow the road until Saint Guérin dam, you can cut across a turn above the Ami. Follow the road towards Cormet d'Arèches which descends 20m of HD. At Darbellay chalet, cut across the turns by following the general route of the road to spot elevation 1822m. Follow the road until Lac des Fées. Leave it and continue completely south by following the summer trail to reach the road at spot elevation 2064m. You then reach Cormet d'Arêches by following the road.
From Cormet, follow a pastoral road completely south, then south-east passing spot elevation 2134m. Leave it in line with point 2264m, that you reach via a hook on the left. You then reach the summit of the ridge around 2400m via a regular southwest ascent. Follow it to point 2534m, to the foot of the difficulties. The ridge can be more or less easily climbed depending on the quantity and of the quality of the snow to reach the main summit (2633m). It takes 4 to 5h.
Ascent variant: this ridge can also be started from Granier in Tarentaise: follow the road until Cormet d'Arêches.
Descent: Continue the ridge via steep pitches as far as the western summit, below it is the descent corridor on the northern slope. This narrow corridor slopes around 45° at the start, with 100 to 120m HD, then the slope becomes gentler, you reach Chevalière stream that you follow until Cormet d'Arèches, then continue via the ascent route. It takes 1h15 to 1h45.

This week the Government announced new proposals which mean that killer drivers will face life in prison.
The increase in sentence to life in prison is for people who cause death by dangerous driving and for careless drivers who kill while under the influence of drink or drugs.
The proposals also include the creation of a new offence of causing serious injury through careless driving.
I welcome the new life sentence penalty, which is a big increase on the current sentence of 14 years.
The proposed changes follow the outcome of a consultation of more than 9,000 people. Of those responses, 70 per cent called for an increase in the sentence for death by dangerous driving to life in prison.
Since I became an MP in 2010, I have campaigned on this issue as I have always believed that in the worst cases, dangerous drivers should face the same penalty as those who commit manslaughter. Dangerous drivers who kill someone whilst street racing or otherwise driving recklessly should face a life sentence. This does not include a momentary lapse of concentration but a deliberately callous act.
I also welcome the new offence of causing serious injury by careless driving, which will be punishable by imprisonment. I hope the sentence for this offence will reflect the seriousness of the injuries suffered by victims and be increased for those who leave a victim with life-changing injuries.
Last year, 157 people were sentenced for causing death by dangerous driving, with a further 32 convicted of causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence. This change in the law would mean all of those people would have faced life in prison.
I hope these tougher sentences will act as a deterrent to dangerous and criminal behaviour on our roads and fewer people will be killed or seriously injured in future.

CLEARWATER — Florida police said a man has died after they shot him because he ignored their commands and reached for a gun.
Clearwater Police responded to complaints Saturday of a man waving a gun in a threatening manner at an intersection. Two officers eventually tracked down 39-year-old Bryan Bernard Wallace and said they saw a gun fall from his waistband as they talked with him.
Authorities said the officers commanded him not to reach for his gun, but they said he did and the officers fired in fear for their lives.
Police said a firearm was recovered from the scene and the Tampa Bay Time reported a witness also said he watched as Wallace ignored police commands.
Wallace was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Want. Beer. Go!
Reach arm forward.
Grasp. Sip…
It happens.
When it does we have these to thank:
It's a molecule of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Note the *A* and the three *P*'s. The *A* is adenosine. The *P*'s represent one phosphate each. Adenosine triphosphate.
ATP is the biochemical equivalent to the right music on loud or a six pack of beer in the Tank. The 'energy Currency of the Cell.' It makes stuff Go. Like your arm when it reaches for a beer.
Want. Beer.
Here's the Deal: Thermodynamic energy is stored in the chemical bonds between each of those *P*'s. When the bond is broken the energy is released & works like a spark struck to fuel.
When the phosphate bond in ATP is broken, the molecule becomes adenosine diphosphate (ADP). When the phosphate is reattached in the mitochondria it is once again adenosine triphosphate.
Guess they tried to teach me this crap in high school. But I thought it was Stupid – like the other dumb bull they tried to cram down my throat. Like Don't Drink & Drive.
Yeah I got news for you Pals – drinking & driving is Patriotic…and cool!!
Alrighty then kids. That's the Lesson for today…

Brief facts and procedural history–
Introduction to the parties-
The film Sholay was produced by Sippy Films, a proprietorship concern of Plaintiff No. 2.
Vide Gift Deed dated 14th September, 2000, all rights in the film Sholay were assigned/transferred by Plaintiff No. 2 to Plaintiff No. 1 and it is alleged in the plaint that Plaintiff No. 1 has been exploiting those rights across various verticals such as satellite broadcast, pay television, internet rights etc.
Defendant Nos. 1 and 2 are cellular service provider, which are also offering various value added services such as ringtones, true tunes, caller tunes internet radio etc. to their subscribers.
While Defendant Nos. 3 and 4 are Universal Music India Pvt. Ltd. and Phonographic Performance Pvt. Ltd., respectively, who were impleaded in the suit on the basis of the application filed by them; the suit has been contested by all the four Defendants.
Point of dispute-
Vide deed of assignment dated 7th August, 1978, the predecessor of the Plaintiff granted certain rights in the film Sholay to Polydor of India (now rights acquired by M/s Univeral Music India Pvt. Ltd.). The case of the Plaintiff is that the assignment extended only to (i) the right to make records for sale and distribution and (ii) the right to communicate the sound-recordings by way of radio broadcast, and the remaining rights were reserved by the predecessor of the Plaintiffs and they have continued to exploit those remaining rights. This is also their case that rights in respect of value-added services for mobile phones neither existed nor were in contemplation of parties at the time of assignment. It is alleged that Defendant Nos. 1 and 2 i.e. Vodafone Essar Mobile Services Ltd. and Vodafone Essar Ltd. have been commercially exploiting the copyright work of the film Sholay on mobile and digital platforms without obtaining any license or permission from Plaintiff No. 1 and are offering value-added products in the form of ringtones, true tones, callback/ringback/caller tunes etc. created from the soundtrack of the film Sholay to their subscribers, thereby infringing the copyright which the Plaintiff No. 1 holds in the film Sholay.
Relief Sought-
The Plaintiffs have sought injunction against infringement of their copyright in the film Sholay by the Defendants.
Issues before the court–
Whether an absolute right to use the sound track, including songs and music by way of ringtones, true tones, callback/ringback/caller tunes etc (for the sake of convenience is hereinafter referred to as "digital rights") were assigned to Polydor of India vide Assignment Deed dated 7th August, 1978 or the right to use sound track on digital and mobile platform continue to vest in the Plaintiff company?
Defending arguments by the defendants-
· The Plaintiffs have no title to the sound-recording of the film Sholay since it stood assigned to Defendant No. 3 in the year 1978. They have disputed that the rights to them were confined to physical records and radio transmission.
· Requisite royalty was paid to the plaintiffs for the rights assigned to them.
· Defendant No. 3 executed a deed in title to Defendant No. 4, Phonographic Performance Pvt. Ltd., which is a company engaged in the business of carrying on copyright business of its members in sound-recordings and under that authorization, Defendant No. 4 has been authorized to administer recording and reproduction rights for ringtones in respect of the music catalogue of Defendant No. 3.
· Another authorization Agreement is alleged to have been executed by Defendant No. 3 in favour of Defendant No. 4 in respect of broadcast/telecast/public performance/simulcast/webcast, true tones/master tones, ring back tones etc. Defendant No. 4 has been authorized by Defendant No. 3 to grant licenses to make, market and sell true tones/master tone/ring back tone etc, using sound-recording of Defendant No. 3.
· Moreover, Plaintiff is guilty of latches as it did not come to Court for more than six months after receipt of letter dated 11th August 2010 from Universal wherein Universal had asserted its right for exploitation of the sound-recording of the film through digital media.
· Plaintiff is guilty of suppression of material facts as it did not implead Universal as a Defendant while filing the suit.
Ratio of the judge–
Section 18 of the Copyright Act, 1957 provides that the owner of the copyright in the work may assign, the copyright to any person, either wholly or partially and either generally or subject to limitations and either for the whole of the copyright or any part thereof. It further provides that where the assignee of a copyright becomes entitled to any rights comprised in any copyright, he becomes the owner of the copyright so assigned and in respect of the rights which are not assigned, the assignor is treated as the owner of the copyright.
It would thus be seen that the producer of the film Sholay could have assigned the copyright in the sound- recording of the film either wholly or partially. The rights could have been assigned for a particular duration or for a particular territory. The question as to whether the assignment to Polydor of India extended to all the rights in the sound recording or extended only to some of them would depend solely on the construction of the terms of the Assignment Deed.
After considering the various Clauses contained in the Assignment Deed, dated 7th August, 1978, in the light of other facts and circumstance of the case, it would be difficult to take a final view as regards the extent of the rights assigned to Polydor of India, under the Deed of Assignment dated 7th August 1978. There are certain clause in the assignment deed which indicate that the rights to use the sound-recording of the film Sholay on digital and/or mobile platform continued to vest in the assignor. Certain terms of the Assignment deed indicate that the intention of the parties was to assign all the rights in the sound-recording of the film Sholay to Polydor of India.
The documents filed by the parties show that vide letter dated 21st September 2010 Universal Music India Pvt. Ltd. sent a royalty statement from the period 1st October 2011 to 30th March 2010 to Sippy Films and along with a cheque of Rs. 20,16,535/- towards royalty due, as per the statement. The statement pertains to royalty of physical as well as digital and other media. The Plaintiffs vide their letter accepted the aforesaid cheque as part payment of royalty dues, but, did not claim that Universal had no rights to exploit the sound-recording through digital media. However, admittedly, royalty in respect of the use of the sound-recording through digital media was not remitted to the Plaintiff company prior to 21st September 2010.
Though it can be said against the Plaintiff that it accepted royalty in respect of digital media without any protest, the Defendants have also not explained why the royalty payment was not made within the time stipulated in the Deed of Assignment and why half yearly statement in terms of Clause 8(e) of the Deed was not sent to the Plaintiff. It has also come in evidence that the Plaintiff had earlier permitted Mobile 2 Win to use the sound-recording of the film Sholay through digital/mobile media, which made them available, on the network of Defendants No. 1 and 2 and Others. A perusal of the advertisement of Mobile 2 win would show that true tones/ringback tones of the film Sholay were available on Hutch predecessor of Vodafone, which shows that the Plaintiff company had exploited these rights through Mobile 2 Win at that time.
Admittedly, sound-recording of the film Sholay is already being used by the Defendants on digital/mobile platforms. The Assignment Deed provides for payment of specified royalty to the assigner. If the Plaintiffs assign right to use the sound-recording through digital/mobile media to some other person, they would be entitled only to royalty agreed with the assignee. During the course of arguments, it was informed by the learned Counsel for the Plaintiff that the Plaintiff Company has been offered 25% of the sale price as royalty for exploitation of the sound-recording through digital/mobile media. Even the Defendants did not dispute the right of the Plaintiff Company to get royalty in terms of the agreement between the Plaintiffs and Ploydor of India.
In these circumstances, the balance of convenience is in favour of allowing the Defendants to continue to use the sound recording through digital/mobile media while simultaneously safeguarding the financial interest of the Plaintiff company.
Moreover, since this is a case for infringement of the copyright, a delay of about six months in approaching the Court, cannot be said to be fatal to the Plaintiff as to disentitle it from seeking injunction against the alleged infringement. In this case, on the basis of circumstances, it cannot be said that the plaintiff company is guilty of suppression of material facts.
Decision of the court–
Defendants 1 and 2 were directed to continue to use the sound-recording of the film Sholay through digital and mobile media subject to the conditions that the defendants will continue to pay royalty to the plaintiffs.

On the subject of Draw seeking, Scott writes:
Have you considered the merits of allowing for the backing of a higher priced draw above 5.0 in your XX selection process?The XX Draws are selected based purely on ratings and as you might suspect from a system with a 34.5% (implied price 2.9) strike rate where the average price is 3.48 (implied probability 28.7%), price is not typically an issue. It would be nice if the selections were all 4.1 (the maximum that I have yet seen) but so long as they are above 2.9, we have a value selection, and unless we're in a late season Serie A game, the draw price will always be well above 2.9.
Maybe it's just luck, but Green Pullover has really boosted his ROI with two Barcelona draws at prices of 6.50 and 9.00.
Is it something worth considering when a short priced favourite offers no value?
The XX Draws are those games where the expected superiority of either team is 0.1 or 0. This is admittedly a very narrow and thus selective band, but that's why it is so profitable. If I widened the band, there would be more selections of course, but the quality would start to fall. If the band were widened to include the 0.2 to -0.2 selections, the draw price needed to be profitable would rise from 2.9 to 3.33. Interestingly, if we forget all about the crazy Bundesliga once we move beyond the 0.1 band, the results are better. The 0.5 band (0.5 to -0.5), needs a draw price of just 3.15 to be profitable, 249 winners from 785 selections. Excluding the Italian games would also boost the numbers, but that's another story.
The problem with games such as Barcelona's at Athletic Bilbao last weekend is the paucity of data. Of 2,355 matches recorded, only 7 have the same profile as Barcelona's game at the weekend. Three games have been draws, which is great, but from a sample so small, it would be reckless to get too carried away. If I include matches close to that rating, I have 8 draws from 24 selections, which is promising to say the least if the draw price is over 6.0. Analysis goes on, as always.

At first glance, that didn't look like chocolate sprinkles... It looked like a sandwich full of grubs. (I know, gross. Sorry.)
By the way, in Australia, sprinkles are called "Hundreds and Thousands". Because there's hundreds and thousands of them I guess.

Shamshaan (2001)
Cast: Rani Sinha, Sagar, Mac Mohan, Shiva and Kiran Kumar
Director: R. K. Khanna
Music: Sawan Kumar & Ghulam Ali
Nutshell: Another vengeance seeking dead gang rape victim returns as a rubber masked monstrosity from the deepest and smelliest bowels of hell.
Budding romance between hunky aspiring cop and town beauty is tragically cut short when gorgeous Komal is trapped and gang-raped by her college friend Maria's dastardly elder brother played by veteran Mac Mohan.
A typically grisly and protracted rape scene is followed by the victim's death at the hands of the swinish rapists. The rapists decide to dump her in a shallow grave and carry on as though nothing happened yet in tried and tested Bolly-horror style all it takes is a very weird looking rock with Sridevi eyes that starts to utter some very strange cackling sounds causing the rape victim to emerge from the grave wearing a very cheap cut price Halloween mask. Very soon she starts to serenade her tormentors with some very bad songs about Bhatakti Roohs and Shamshaans but when that fails to kill them she opts for frightening them to death with her rubber mask. Fortunately for her, this method seems to do the trick and it isn't long before she has worked her way through each of her tormentors.
Komal's chain smoking boyfriend is frequently seen having ten minute slugfests with the local goons while his ghostly ex girlfriend soon finds herself the prerequisite white clothes worn by all vengeful ghosts.
Meanwhile the townspeople are baffled at the sequence of mysterious killings and it is left to dashing young police inspector from the 80's Kiran Kumar to sort things out as only he can. Shamshaan is another excuse of a horror film with nothing at all going for it except for an interlude from a copycat comedian doing the Shatrughan Sinha bihari babu thing and doing it fairly well. Another of the rapists is also another of these mimes and this time he is doing a take on one of Bollywood's infamous letches from the 70's and beyond; Prem Chopra.
There is no shortage of ugly, chubby women wearing flimsy bikinis going for or returning from the obligatory shower. There is also much typical petting of podgy flesh and plenty of atrocious musical interludes in between as well. Also in the mix is a cut price Tantrik Baba and some stunningly inept death sequences.
In all honestly though, how could one expect any better from a film whose major attraction is two mimics and a song that goes…."Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum, log mujhe kahte hain atom bum".

Hello ,
Safer Neighbourhood Panels, set up by the Staffordshire Commissioner, are made up of local residents who meet regularly with their area's local policing commander.
The panels shape local policing and community safety and shine the spotlight on the work done by police in their area to ensure greater transparency and help build public confidence. They examine the impact of policing, community resolutions and restorative justice, on their communities.
Panel members receive training to help them carry out their role so that they can be involved in innovative work such as examining body camera footage captured during "stop and searches" by local officers.
Panels are established in Cannock Chase, Staffordshire Moorlands, South Staffordshire, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Lichfield, Stafford, Tamworth, East Staffordshire and the two local policing team areas of Stoke-on-Trent.
Safer Neighbourhood Panels give local people the opportunity to hold policing in their area to account.

Join us for a public lecture on Artistic Pursuit and Innovation in Chinese Games with Colin Yao, Vice President of Tencent and Head of Tencent Games' TiMi Studios Group. TiMi was founded in 2008 and is a premier interactive entertainment developer, committed to offering players enhanced gaming experiences.
Mr. Yao, an award-winning and influential game producer and designer, is regarded as one of the top 10 leading figures in China's gaming sector. His representative entertainment titles include Arena of Valor (AOV), Honor of Kings and QQ Speed. AOV was the first Chinese mobile game to reach over 10 million daily overseas active users. There are more total registered players of AOV and its Chinese version, Honor of Kings, than any other mobile game in the world. King Pro League (KPL), which was launched in 2016, has reached the highest professional standard for Esport tournaments in China.
Mr. Yao joined Tencent in 2006, and has witnessed the evolution of the Chinese gaming industry from its inception to what it is today: a highly professional and internationally competitive sector. He has shared his insights by penning columns for prestigious media outlets and co-authoring several books on game design and production. He believes that successful design comes from a sophisticated understanding of player behavior. Mr. Yao devised the "Mushroom Theory," which has had a deep impact on China's gaming industry and development of talent in the field.
Under his guidance, Honor of Kings, has leveraged its extensive influence with young users to foster a greater understanding of Chinese traditional culture by innovatively incorporating a blend of classical elements such as Kunqu Opera and Dunhuang's Flying Goddesses. TiMi Studios Group is committed to fully tapping the game's potential to benefit society. See and Air Shadow are two new games intelligently designed for people with disabilities that aim to address the needs of players who are visually impaired in China.
Mr. Yao believes that being able to move people emotionally is a valuable art work. He has relentlessly pursued the creation of innovative and quality games that allow players the freedom to unleash their imagination. He also has a keen interest in offering experiences across games and movies.
Mr. Yao launched the Tencent DN.A (Digital Natives Action) educational platform in 2018 to promote online literacy among children aged 4–14. It advocates for the participation of parents, schools and social communities to help guide young people use the Internet wisely. As a father, he believes that every child has unlimited potential for self-development and that parents should trust their children and ensure they spend more high-quality time with them.
Mr. Yao has an Executive MBA (EMBA) degree from China Europe International Business School (CEIBS).
Presented by Global Partnerships and the Office of Development at The New School.

He's never been one to shy away from stripping off.
But in a series of leaked photos, he shows the world way more than he bargained for. (Note: remember his bathroom decor)

Twin Oaks Computing and The Laboratory for Advanced
Collaboration (LAC) at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de
Janeiro (PUC-Rio) are working together on an international project:
The goal of ContextNet is to get a large number of mobile devices
to gather, process, and share information. Users of portable
devices (e.g. Android smartphones), vehicles, or moveable gadgets
could use this technology to communicate information. These devices
would be able to "dynamically discover" each other and share
information: automatically "seeing" and "talking" with each
The portable devices could be on the same or different operating
systems and still communicate: say, some on Linux and others on
Windows, or some on Android phones and others on iPads, etc., or
some variation / combination of the above. The possibilities are
Working with the LAC for the first time, Twin Oaks Computing
supplied the University with CoreDX DDS: the communications
software they need to complete this project
CoreDX DDS is being used to build the backbone of the communication
infrastructure for the project, which will run via independent
users in diverse network domains. This infrastructure will
communicate with approximately 30,000-50,000+ mobile devices
simultaneously, each of them sending data every 30 seconds.
Currently the ContextNet team is testing the development of this
technology. Twin Oaks Computing, Inc. is looking forward to
continuing their collaboration with the LAC, advancing
communications technologies around the world.
CoreDX DDS is the leading Publish-Subscribe middleware available
for small-footprint and embedded systems. Founded in 2005 and
located in Castle Rock, Colorado, Twin Oaks Computing, Inc.
delivered the first version of CoreDX DDS in 2008. Twin Oaks

An engineering train has derailed in south London causing the closure of the Gatwick Express service.
The train partly left the tracks at low speed between Victoria and Clapham Junction at about 03:00 BST.
No Gatwick Express trains are running while Southern has warned that its services will be "severely reduced".
Network Rail said it was working to remove the train but passengers should "travel later in the day if possible" or seek an alternative route.
The train is stuck across a number of tracks meaning platforms nine to 13 at Victoria have been blocked, while services are not able to use the "slow/stopping" lines to and from Clapham Junction.
Some trains are also unable to leave the Battersea depot further reducing the number of services which can run.
Recovery teams have been deployed to remove the train but the tracks will also need to be repaired once it is gone, Southern have warned.
A Network Rail spokesperson said passengers should travel "via London Bridge or London Blackfriars as trains will be delayed, diverted or cancelled".
Train tickets for Southern and Gatwick Express services are being accepted for reasonable routes on other services.
Disruption is expected to last throughout Tuesday.
Trains services which are currently affected:
- Gatwick Express services are completely suspended
- Services between London Victoria and Epsom Downs are suspended
- Services via Sutton may be cancelled at short notice, including trains which run to and from Horsham via Sutton
- Services between London Victoria and Reigate are likely to be cancelled at short notice or formed of fewer coaches than normal
- Trains are not serving Epsom Downs, Banstead, Belmont and Battersea Park

HO! HO! HO! Have you been good all year, because it's that time of the year when Santa Claus comes to the town!! Yes, we realize that India does not celebrate Christmas like the Wild West does, however we do have our own style of celebrating and we truly love it as we celebrate the spirit of Christmas that proffers forgiveness, love, grace and most importantly the act of sharing. Infact in several parts of the country Christmas is celebrated with pomp and show, zeal and enthusiasm; also the different customs and traditions add an interesting flavour to the celebration of this festival in India.
Twinkling lights strung across houses and markets, trees festooned with sparkling decorations, charming nativity scenes and bakeries brimming with the delicious aroma of cakes and other sweet treats–these are the best places to celebrate Christmas in India. From Shimla's white Christmas to Kolkata's cheerful "Bada Din" to Goa's Portuguese-influenced festival, there are many ways to soak in the Yuletide spirit in India.
So, what we have done for you this time is that we have prepared a list of places that are famed for their Christmas celebrations in all the four directions of India.
EAST- Kolkata
The capital of the British government until 1911, Kolkata has a long and lively history of observing Christmas. Amid the Raj, British authorities facilitated supper balls with dances and rich dinners of meal turkey, pies, puddings and wines, alongside various parallel sporting competitions, military band exhibitions and plays. Kolkata still has a sizeable group of Anglo-Indians and observes Christmas or "Bada Din" with much enthusiasm. In the City of Joy, Christmas is synonymous with gleaming lights at Park Street, mass at St. Paul's Cathedral and fruitcakes and other traditional treats at old fashioned bakeries, for example, Nahoum's and Flury's.
Arranged close to the Victoria Memorial, the nineteenth century St Paul's Cathedral holds one of the greatest social events on Christmas eve. Home to the majority of the Anglo-Indians n the city, the area of Bow Barracks close Central Avenue is particularly bubbly amid this time with music, dance and great food. New Market, a noteworthy shopping center, is additionally lit up with shops selling trees and baubles. For a traditional flavour of Christmas in Kolkata, go to Nahoum's, one of the city's most seasoned bread shops that is renowned for its rich fruitcakes, mince pies, steamed Christmas pudding and macaroons. The West Bengal tourism board likewise sorts out a yearly Kolktata Christmas Festival at Allen Park, close Park Street and Camac Street, with carols, cultural performances, shops, food stalls and carnival like atmosphere.
WEST- Goa
Goa's notoriety for being India's most loved year-end party hotspot lays on its energizing beachside nightclubs and move music festivals, for example, Sunburn and Supersonic. For local people in any case, this time is particularly noteworthy on account of Christmas. This is when Goan homes and bread kitchens make customary desserts, for example, dodol (coconut and cashew squares), neureos (stuffed dry fruit of the coconut balls), kol-kols and fruitcakes, and decorate their home with lights, the Christmas star and nativity scenes portraying Mother Mary, Joseph and child Jesus. Neighborhood holy places resonate with Christmas songs and are beautified with Christmas trees. Encounter a slice of local life by going to a service at one of the neighbourhood churches or essentially going by one of Goa's heritage cathedrals, for example, the sixteenth century Se Cathedral, the biggest church in India.
NORTH- Shimla
Now, in India the luxury of Snow is only experienced by the North most states. Shimla being one of them is a place where you can enjoy White Christmas just like the westerners do. Yes, it will undoubtedly be clamoring with travelers, yet the appeal of its heritage and views stays unmatched. The most romantic way to go to the hill station is by taking a ride on the toy train amongst Kalka and Shimla, with its fantastic vistas of snow-hung mountains from the glow of your cabin. Memorable British-time structures, for example, the Viceregal Lodge, Rothney Castle, Gaiety Theater and Woodville Palace make a period atmosphere, while the cozy restaurants and bistros covering the Mall give an appreciated reprieve from the chill. Keep your date with tradition by going to a service at Christ Church on the Ridge. Worked in the mid-nineteenth century, this neo-Gothic point of interest is the second most seasoned church in northern India. There's an extra motivation to visit this year in light of the fact that Shimla has gotten snowfall on Christmas following a gap of 22 years.
SOUTH- Kochi
Home to one of the biggest populaces of Christians in India, the memorable port city of Kochi is specked with hundreds of years old churches and synagogues. The city is festooned with Christmas stars and different adornments, with a general air of party noticeable all around. It's anything but difficult to spot wooden nativity scenes, fir trees and Jesus figures in shops, markets and roads. Make your Christmas essential by going to a midnight mass in one of the city's heritage cathedrals, St. Francis Church. Worked in the mid sixteenth century by Portuguese merchants, this is the most established European church in India furthermore where pilgrim Vasco da Gama's remaining parts were briefly covered. The Gothic-style Santa Cruz Cathedral is one of the eight basilicas in Iandia, and was likewise implicit the mid sixteenth century.
The Cochin Carnival is a year-end musical procession of fireworks, decorated elephants, games and competitions for swimming, tug-of-war, bicycle racing and volleyball. The carnival traces it origins to the Portuguese new year celebrations organised during the colonial rule. There are cultural programmes such as performances of folk songs and dance forms such as kathakali and mohiniattam. Held in the backwaters of Cochin, the Indira Gandhi Boat Race is also held in the last week of December. Around 150 boatmen from the surrounding villages compete in an exciting display of oarsmanship.


text: I spent the morning changing the florescent light over my kitchen sink into an LED light. It was a bit more complicated than I thought it was going to be and I have three more to do so I hope it will get easier now that I have some basic knowledge on how to do it. I was concerned that maybe it wouldn't be bright enough because I had two florescent tubes in the light and I only put in one LED light but this one LED tube is at least as bright as before and may be a little bit brighter. But the main reason I put it in there is to save electricity. This light is used a lot even in the daytime so it was worth putting the time and money into making it into an LED. The old florescent light used 2.6 amps and the new LED uses .4 amps that's a big savings and will make life easier on the cloudy days when the solar panels aren't putting out very much power.

Three of the best locations to celebrate carnival in Panama, are Cinta Costera in Panama City, Los Tablas in the center of the country, and David or Dolega in Chiriquí Province. All seriousness and work in these places come to a halt, and the streets are filled with music, dancing, drinking, parades, glamorous costumes, and of course, water tankers spraying down the crowds with water, carnival style.
A large majority of Panama's population is Catholic, and Ash Wednesday in Catholicism is the first day of Lent, which is the 40 days that Jesus prayed and fasted in the desert before he returned to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter.
La mojadera, (begin sprayed by the water trucks), is a popular and fun tradition here in Panama, with the intention of soaking you down, in the tropical heat. The end of February and beginning March, are the hottest, rainless months of the year here in Panama. Up in the cooler highlands, the big Carnival parties are not held much, there is more of a laid back, back yard friends and family atmosphere, over those 4 days.
In Panama City, the Friday before Ash Wednesday, the Carnival Queen and her attendants are selected. The queen reigns over the parade and official activities. Then Saturday morning, the crowds spill into Cinta Costera, the several kilometer park along the Pacific in the center of town. There will be bands playing salsa and reggae, lots of Panamanian folklore and dancing in the streets. Make sure you put your cell phone in a zip lock bag, as you are going to get wet!
Carnival celebrations in Las Tablas, are the most recognizable in the country. Here, people divide themselves into groups, called tunas, one tuna representing the Upper Street (Calle Arriba which is the La Placita area), and the other tuna representing the Lower Street (Calle Abajo the Punta Fogón area). They then elect their Queens, and the party begins.
Saturday morning, there are water, blue dye and shaving cream fights in the central plaza, between the two tunas, then the two tunas parades. At night there is dancing, fireworks and street performances, then after these festivities, each tuna goes back to its base, and parties till the early hours of the morning.
A lot of people leave Panama City during Carnival time, there is actually a mass exodus on Friday afternoon, with people with family in other parts of Panama, heading to visit for the 4-day event, and Panamanians are real family people and like their time off with them.
In the western province of Chiriquí, there are three places that Carnival celebrations take place. Dolega, David and Las Lajas.
Now back to Panama City, while not a crazy as Los Tablas, the events continue on Sunday. After noon, there is be a beautiful poller parade. These polleras are Panamanians' national costume and hundreds of ladies and girls dress up in the national dress and march in the parade.
The party continues throughout the country Sunday evening.
On Monday you will find smaller parades throughout the country, with the festivities carrying on.
On Tuesday, which is Shrove Tuesday, there is another huge parade on the Cinta Costera, New Orleans style, with beautiful floats, and costumed marchers for all areas of Panamanian society.
If you are planning to take in some Carnival celebrations, book your hotels early, as it is high season in Panama. If you are considering the center of the country, maybe Los Tablas or Penonomé, then book rooms in Santiago, and drive to these locations, as there are not many hotel rooms available. In Chiriquí, David would be the best location for hotel rooms,

Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is arriving onto iOS and Android devices this week on the 22nd November 2017.
On the 24th of October 2017, Nintendo announced that the mobile edition of Animal Crossing would be arriving in November. Well it's November now, and an official tweet from the Animal Crossing Twitter account reads,
I'm so excited to share this news with you… Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will be coming to mobile devices worldwide on 11/22! I can't wait! #PocketCamp pic.twitter.com/yvzMDz7uHl
— Isabelle (@animalcrossing) November 20, 2017
The game is a toned down version of the popular Animal Crossing titles, and sees you trying to build a camp that villagers wish to flock too, and will require you to travel around collecting items, finishing quests, and even crafting.
The title will be free to download and play, but will feature in-game transactions going by the name, Leaf Tickets. While not much is known about the cost of purchasing Leaf Tickets with real world money, we do know that using Leaf Tickets can be used to purchase new materials, and speed up wait times. Basically build your camp quickly using money.
If you didn't see the Nintendo Direct then you can view it below and it details the details!

Structure, Inside Design, Home Design and Room Concepts – your each day source for inside design ideas, dwelling design tendencies, and contemporary structure. Since horizontal house is limited, think vertical; stack counters and cabinets excessive up on the partitions, and attempt to discover revolutionary storage containers and double-obligation items. Plus, our love of open kitchens and stocking up at warehouse shops means less wall space and more stuff, kitchen design professional Robinson says.
These shapes provide loads of cupboard and countertop house, and you may add a bar-peak counter to the island for an instantaneous eat-in space. In Sheffield, Ala., who's additionally worked within the flooring business. On this kitchen, concealing the fridge and dishwasher behind cabinetry panels gives the small house a tidy look.
Hosts John Colaneri and Anthony Carrino took down a wall separating the kitchen and dining room to create a greater flow in this vivid house. As seen on HGTV's Beach Flip , this tight kitchen was nothing however tacky blue walls and overpowering white cabinetry.
Design with ergonomics in mind: Drawers or pull-out cabinets in base cabinets; counter heights that may alter up or down; a wall oven as a substitute of a range: These are all features that make a kitchen accessible to everyone — and a pleasure to work in.
Right here there is plenty of room to maneuver round, and a peninsula off the tip of the U-formed format creates an eat-in area. With regards to layout, at all times optimize your house; give attention to performance and how your design can cater to the needs of you and your family.

"So, how can we piss people off this week, editors?"
"Another Harrington story?"
"No, that's too easy a target. Besides, our reporters don't like going in there. They've complained about slipping on all the blood in the halls."
I look across the story meeting table at an editor who's sweating like a pig in a butcher shop.
"Well, how about the sports guys? Surely, that academic suspension story is ready by now?"
"Sorry, I got nothing this week. They all seem to be clean this year."
"Do you even know which team you're snubbing this week? Get on it!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"And don't forget what happened to the international section."
Finally, my eyes drift over at my most trusted editor, who's sitting in the shadows, rearranging the pins in his Jeffrey Carleton voodoo doll.
"Bridgeburner, you got anything?"
"I know this guy," he hisses, as he removes his fedora. "This pretentious poseur. The ultimate talentless hipster. He's a pretty unpopular character on campus. And I think I may be able to convince him to write for us."
Our eyes dart to the sides and smiles creep wide on our faces.
That, my friends, was my attempt at a satire.
A satire is a piece of literature meant to ridicule "human vices." There is often an unmistakable sarcastic, over-the-top tone.
Sometimes satires can be misunderstood, so publishers label the piece to make sure readers know it's a joke, as The Aquinian does with Dylan Sealy's satire.
Dylan takes on the character of Arte Mechante, whose "advice column" appears on the backpage every second week. Arte is an artist, the above mentioned "talentless
hipster," who lives off his parent's dime and has been going to St. Thomas for eight years now. He thinks he's a genius, the world's best writer, but he has yet to get into the journalism program. His advice? Be more like him.
Last week, we published an Arte Mechante column that was essentially a poet's guide to mistreating women. Arte
called it "a handy guide to getting and keeping beautiful women," but his tips included pointing out women's flaws and being indignant about them.
As always, the column had a sarcastic tone that screamed, "Don't take me seriously!" But some people weren't so sure.
A few women left comments on our website and said we had crossed a line; that even though we labelled the piece "character satire," it was degrading to women and it
shouldn't be published.
This isn't the first time The Aquinian has offended women.
Some refer to it as "the skank article."
It was about two years ago, around Halloween. It was meant to be a satire on women and the scandalous costumes they
tend to wear. There was a drawing (and maybe even a reference to the "rape trail"). Most students didn't get it – and the same people were extremely unimpressed.
I was one of those students. Though I was more sympathetic than most because of my involvement with The Aquinian at the time, I was offended by the generalization of the
article. As someone who dressed up as Cat in the Hat her first year in university, I could understand where everyone – and I mean, everyone – was coming from.
With any satire, you have to be careful.
Often the writer is touching on sensitive topics that could easily offend someone.
But that's kind of the point.
In his essay, "A Modest Proposal," originally published in 1729, Jonathon Swift suggests the Irish sell their babies as food for the rich in order to alleviate poverty.
"A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with
a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter," he writes.
As Swift demonstrated, satire can cross the line – but that's the effect you're going for.
With so much satire around us – think Saturday Night Live and Jon Stewart – you'd think we'd all be more accustomed to this type of humour.
Julia Whalen, editor of the arts section and the backpage, uses her discretion when it comes to Arte. If she thinks he's gone too far, she'll edit.
But last week's Arte Mechante column wasn't about making fun of the ladies; it was about Arte. That's what it's always about, no intentional discrimination required.
Every week our web editor Shane Magee sends me a list of stories that were most popular on our website.
For the seven days leading up to Halloween, one two-year-old article got a few hits. Yupp, you guessed it.
Between Oct. 25 and Oct. 31, 53 people clicked on "An open letter to Halloween Skanks." Fourteen of those 53 found the article by googling "Why do girls dress like skanks on Halloween?"

I just got home from the Milwaukee Auto Show, where we were looking for a replacement for our family hauler 9-7x. Our basic requirements are that it needs to haul a family of 4 on long road trips comfortably. Note that I am 6'5", most of which is in my legs, and my kids are trending tall. So legroom is key. Also, my wife wants all the cold weather options. Heated seats, heated steering wheel, and remote start.
Here's my quick rundown of of what we sat in while dragging around two young boys. All of these comments are based on just sitting in them, not driving them.
Lexus: My God, my ass is way too big for your sport seats. Who needs such high side bolters in a mid size CUV??? Why are all your knobs missing???? Also, the predator grill works on some models, but others make me want to wash my eyes with bleach. Which is too bad because I actually have a great dealer in my area.
BMW: We have no dealer support in our area, so I'm not serious about BMW, but the interior was really nice in the 5 series.
Maserati Quattroporte:. Yes yes yes yes yes. Get in my garage now. Dealer support in my area? Sigh, nevermind.
Cadillac: The CT6 is so much nicer and more spacious than a CTS. One of these with a V8 is my dream-car-that-doesn't-exist.
Lincoln:. I sat in an MKZ thinking it was the Continental and was wondering why it wasn't as nice as I remembered. Then I got in the actual Continental and was reminded why this is at the top of my list. I'm hooked on the Black Label. Crappy rear headroom though...
Volvo:. Hey they actually let us sit in some of the Volvos this year! The long wheel base S90 is no joke for rear legroom. Acres of space. Great seats.
Mazda CX-9:. One of the better 3 row CUVs out there. However, the beltline is almost over my shoulder, and I'm 6'5". It felt weird sitting in that bunker of a minivan.
Chrysler Pacifica: I really liked this car when I sat in it last year, but it just seemed crappy this year, especially the seats.
GMC Acadia/Chevy Traverse: Huge improvement over the last generation. Like the CX-9, it was nice enough for us to consider a CUV.
Buick Enclave:. Ugh, this dumpster fire. Why do interior designers have to swoop the dashboard in front of the passenger in towards the center console, effectively reducing left knee room by a couple of inches. Deal breaker. #tallpersonproblems
Buick Lacrosse:. Plenty of room, nice interior. These should be more popular. Maybe if they ditched the lacrosse name they would sell more. Electra? If I bought one, I would take off the name badge.
Fiat 500x: Not as fun inside as our old 500, but would work alright with two kids around town.
Chevy Cruze hatchback: OK, this car is legit. Nice interior, nice seats, decent storage in the back. When we bought our Fiat back in '13, we cross shopped it with the Cruze. If we did that again today, we would be walking out with the Cruze hatchback. Both are still too small for long road trips.
Chevy Tahoe:. This will be my car in about 3 years when I retire my truck to just work duty. It could not be more suited to someone my size. Sadly, we're shopping for my wife's car so we moved on.
Toyota Land Cruiser:. $90k?!?? I'll be down at the Maserati display....brb.
Genesis G90: Wish I could report on this one, I never found the Genesis display. 😞
Kia Stinger:. Like the Genesis, I really wanted to check this out. Too bad the only one they brought was on a turn table.
Buick Regal TourX:. Basically the car we came to see, and the one you've been dying to hear about. Surprising amount of legroom, possibly more than the lacrosse. The interior wasn't as nice as the lacrosse, but it wasn't bad at all like some reviews have said. For a mid-$30k AWD wagon, the interior is appropriate. However, the cloth seats were sub par. Not super comfortable, not up to Buick's current standards. This car was the mid grade trim, so maybe the essence trim seats will be better. TONS of room in the back. My wife hated the plastic cladding over the wheels and would only consider a color that minimized that, like grey. Here's my 3 year old sitting on the floor behind the driver's seat after my wife adjusted it to her driving position:
Here's my wife's knees after I adjusted the driver's seat to MY position:
I think we'll end up test driving the Continental, lacrosse, TourX, CX-9, and Acadia. We'll also check out the Regal sportback when we have a chance, especially the GS.
In the end, I'm not sure we're any closer to making a decision. Being tall sucks, people! It really limits the choices, and I'm tired of being miserable on trips. In end we'll probably buy a Metris conversion van or something...

Few things can sideline a weightlifting routine quite like a pinched nerve. If you are suffering from neck, wrist, or back pain exacerbated by weightlifting, don't miss this essential guide to pinched nerves with expert tips on how to treat them and continue lifting.
What is a Pinched Nerve?
Nerves play the most critical role in transferring messages from the brain to the body. The messages, or electrical signals, travel from the brain along the body's nervous systems which serve as a sort of electrical wiring circuit and tell your muscles, organs, heart, you name it, what to do.
When soft tissues in the body like muscles, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons that wrap around a nerve ending become inflamed they can apply pressure to it and literally "pinch" it. This excess stress can inhibit the nerve's normal functioning and cause problems, making it hard to move certain body parts like the neck and back, especially when lifting weights.
Symptoms of a pinched nerve may include:
- Pain
- Numbness
- Weakness
- Tingling
- Pins and needles sensation
- Radiating burning feeling
There are some regions of the body where nerves are more likely to get pinched. These include in the wrist (carpal tunnel), in the legs (sciatica), and of course in the neck and back. Risk factors for developing pinched nerves include age, having bone spurs or rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, obesity, pregnancy, sex, and overuse.
Weightlifting and Pinched Nerves
If you lift weights as a hobby or competitively, the "overuse" factor is likely your largest culprit for pinched nerves. Overuse encompasses any repetitive stress on the musculoskeletal system, especially the neck, arms, back, and wrists, from completing the same motion over and over for an extended period of time.
For weightlifters, overuse may affect the wrist in the form of carpal tunnel syndrome. The median nerve in your arm which travels down to your hand through a narrow passageway in your wrist (the carpal tunnel) can get pinched by inflamed tissues which surround it. This may result in pain, tingling, and numbness both in the wrist and lower arm as well as the palm, thumb, and fingers (except for the pinky). One of the hallmark signs of carpal tunnel syndrome is to experience symptoms at night when sleeping.
Weightlifters and bodybuilders may also experience pinched nerves in their neck and back from excessive stress placed on the shoulders, neck, upper and lower back when doing compound movements like deadlifts, squats, bench presses, power cleans, shoulder presses, and pull-ups. Especially if your form or body mechanics are ill-equipped to properly handle that type of lifting, the result can be strained and swollen muscles that squeeze nerves tight and cause you pain.
Diagnosing and Treating a Pinched Nerve
Not only is lifting through pain a big no-no but not treating a pinched nerve can actually result in permanent damage to the nerve itself. If you suspect a pinched nerve, you may be able to treat it at-home in a matter of days or a couple weeks. A visit with your doctor, however, can shed more light on the source of your symptoms as doctors can administer manual tests and imaging exams as well as nerve conduction studies. Treatment regimens may include:
Rest – it's a simple fact, the nerve won't become "unpinched" if you keep doing the things that pinched it in the first place. Rest, especially in the first few days of significant pain, can help your soft tissues release and relax. You may also want to apply ice packs or heating pads to the affected area to relieve swelling and therefore inflammation.
Immobilize – stabilizing the injured area and preventing excessive movement will also be key to healing. For example, you might wear a carpal tunnel brace when you sleep at night to limit wrist movement that pinches the median nerve more. You can also correct poor posture to prevent nerve pain in the neck by wearing a flexible neck brace which keeps you from turning or bending your head in a way that worsens the pinched nerve.
Physical therapy – a knowledgeable physical therapist or sports medicine specialist can show you exercises and stretches that can help alleviate the pressure causing your pinched nerve. Best practice is to see a doctor first who can form a comprehensive diagnosis of your pinched nerve and recommend a specific type of physical therapy.
Medication – as needed, you may want to take over-the-counter anti-inflammatories to help manage the pain and stiffness associated with your pinched nerve. Your doctor may also prescribe something stronger or recommend steroid injections in more severe cases.
Surgery – in rare cases where traditional interventions are unsuccessful, surgery may be required to unpinch a nerve so as to prevent permanent damage.

Rodrigo Casillas is a student from Mexico who is learning English in Canada.
Here is what he would like to share about his English courses at EC English School in Montreal:
It was a great experience. I liked very much the fact that you can go to visit the city on your own. I also liked the way they teach English at EC Montreal!
