This is my longest post ever… so much to tell and so much beauty to share. I decided to put it all into one post to give the story the necessary epic feel.
July 2019
A brand new Scott Scale bike, work/holiday schedule under control, dry and hot weather in Switzerland, plenty of trails to choose from, good food and wine. It cannot get much better than that, right?
The Roll-In
The good people at Trailnet built a few very nice and, in-part, rather challenging trails in the Regio Basiliensis. Both the "Gempen Nord" trail and the "Arlesheim" trail can be accessed from various locations (see the weblink for details). The uphill is straightforward, follow the signs over gravel and fire roads ("Forststrasse" in German) to reach the fun parts of the respective trail. Ride in spring and you'll enjoy a wonderful Cherry Blossom. If you ride in early summer you might be lucky to sample cherries right off the trees. Please don't just pick them off the trees yourself, ask the farmers, they let you sample or sell half a kg at a very competitive price. Cherries make for an excellent snack! You might wonder why I'm so particular about the cherries? Two reasons: firstly, beautiful childhood memories about harvesting and eating ripe cherries and secondly, almost everything we eat in Singapore comes by air cargo from lands very far away, so the experience of fresh, tasty, sweet, delicious, non-tropical fruit is very expensive and more often than not, leaves a lot of room to improve.
Gempen Nord Trail
The markings are there, but if you are not a local, there is a 100% chance you will get lost. Bring a map – that will seriously add to the experience. If you head for the "Gempen Nord" trail and you have a craving for caffeine (or any other legal stimulant) before the downhill adrenaline kicks in, visit the restaurant "GempenTurm". You can sit outside and enjoy the views of the Jura mountain range. Coffee is reasonable, just don't expect the artisanal, hand-ground, soy-latte, gluten-free, vegan option.
The downhill section (aka the fun part) starts a few meters from the restaurant, not for the life of it could I find a marker…. A quick check on Google map suggests a small trail and then a fireroad heading downwards to Gempen Stollen. Nice and easy downhill rolling, no real technical challenges, a good solid "blue". Once at "GempenStollen", I have to look for the trail several times & promptly miss it…. . So I decide to follow the road down to Restaurant Schoenmatt, then a few more hairpin turns and as soon as I reach the forest, I turn right and dash straight into the forest and hit the trail. The fun really starts there. Super flowy single trail, technically not too difficult, probably just about a black (but still pay attention….) and very well marked. A real pleasure. The last 200 or so meters are rather steep and tricky, especially once wet. The trail ends up at a rather busy bike route connecting Muenchenstein with Muttenz, plenty of signage there to get you home.
The Arlesheim Trail
The Arlesheim trail is better marked. Start from the Arlesheim/Dornach railway station and simply follow the signs. A few road crossings to watch out for, then you need ascend app 200 meters of altitude difference et voilà, there is your downhill. The downhill section is about two kilometres long, so you get all the fun to compensate for the climb! I reckon this is a solid "black", so do this if you can handle switch backs, steep terrain and the like. I pass a few riders, who apparently went a bit too leisurely over the humps and bumps and promptly crashed quite hard.
The Real Stuff: The Jura Trail
A nine stages trail, starting in Basel and ending in Nyon, at the shores of Lac Léman, looks very tempting. But can I really bike 40 kms with a lot of climbing every day? Some doubts emerge. Additionally, I was pondering whether I should do it the "real way" and spend the nights at the respective end/starting points of each stage or take public transport back to base camp. Staying "on" the trails would save me two hours travelling every day and give the ride more of a multi-day bike trip feel. On the other hand, I have time for four stages only and the respective end points are within one hour of my basecamp near Basel. Hence, I decide to return back to base every evening. Maybe not the hard-core option, but logistically the easier and cheaper option. The (also) good people at MySwitzerland have all the information you ever need: trails, altitude profiles, access, restaurants, escape plans, and all the other data you think you need.
Stage 1: Basel – Laufen, 31km, 880 m Ascent
I skip the highly recommended sight-seeing in Basel and head straight for the trail. Well-marked off the main railway station the road winds up to the outskirts, gradually leaving the city behind and offering views into the Jura mountain range. Rolling comfortably through the Agglo for a few kms, before a short, but really steep climb finally gets me out of civilisation and into the forest. Once I reach max altitude, it is easy cruising on fire roads and a long decent into Laufen, the end of stage 1. This was a very enjoyable "get out of it all" ride, nothing spectacular today, just soaked-up the journey from the heat of the city into the cooling forests and the country side. A coffee in Laufen and (lazy as I am) a short train ride back to my base camp.
Stage 2, Laufen – Delémont, 31 km, 1000 m Ascent
Train to Laufen, then ascend to Grindel, a small village nestled away close to the French speaking part of Switzerland; a few fellow bikers only, either elderly riders on eBikes or some hyper fit sports freaks, in other words, everybody overtakes me.
Otherwise, magnificent silence as I ride, huff and puff through the forest.
After Grindel a really steep climb on a road, then a single trail and I reach the "Welschgaetterli", a mountain pass that marks the border between two Kantons ("province") and more importantly the transition from SwissGerman to SwissFrench.
That is it for the day in terms of hard climbing, the rest is pedalling up and down through a few villages, some forest trails and a fair chunk of single trail, where I manage to slip and fall on the only, really the only root within a 2 km radius.
The only technical difficulty is this fence:
After a few hours of strenuous, but not exhausting cycling I arrive in Delémont, end of stage two.
A short video covering stage 2:
Stage 3: Delèmont – St. Ursanne, 42 km, 950 m Ascend
The plan for today is grand: do the hard part up to the Col des Rangiers, sip a latte, then cruise down to St. Ursanne and enjoy the local specialty: fresh trout.
Total solitude as I leave Delémont, not a soul in sight once I pass the shooting range and cruise along a fire road. The climb up to the viewpoint high above the city is rather steep at some places. Again beautiful solitude as I pedal through the forest.
A few kms later, the ride follows the crete, I arrive at the Col des Rangiers, which is a total disappointment! The restaurant is gone and the famous "Le Fritz" as well. I bump into an eBiker, who cannot resist making a few dumb jokes about me pedalling support-less.
Later on, I indeed manage to loose the trail somewhere on a downhill section. I'm either day dreaming or cannot focus on the steering and trail-searching at the same time. I end up on a steep road, which brings me back up to "Sous Les Bois" from where it is all downhill (too much road biking for my liking) to the Doubs river.
easy cruising along the river
and way too much road biking today
Rather "not amused" with the amount of road-biking, I arrive in St. Ursanne, a marvel of a medieval town right at the Doubs river.
ah yes: the fish.. yummy
and the train back to base camp
I do surprise myself in terms of fitness. Yes, I do bike at "only" 120 BPM rhythm, ie I'm not pushing it very hard. I learned over the past year or so, that staying around 120 average lets me go for a rather long time, fatigue is not much of an issue and recovery is fast. My legs don't cramp and in the evenings, I still have energy to ride 10 kms to a dinner place and back to base.
Enjoy some of today's highlights:
Stage 4: St. Ursanne – Saignélegier, 30 km, 900 m Ascend
Stage four looks comparatively easy at only 30 kms to cover – even with the premonition that the climb from the Doubs River up to the crete will be tough.
which one of these signs to follow...
its #3 stupid....
Easy start, follow the road along the Doubs river, pass a few camp sites that look idyllic, but even for my taste, are hidden too far in the moist shades of the forest.
Then a climb – OMG what a climb – I get off the bike and push. This seems not to end. Even two e-Bikers need to get off their machines and push to preserve battery.
Once I reach Césai, even though the climbing doesn't stop, it feels that I've done it for the day. The landscape opens up, wide pastures, trees, blue sky, horses. Everything that makes this country so so so beautiful can be found here. At full "inner peace" I enjoy the cycling.
Saignélegier is in the heart of Swiss Watch making territory, and no, there is no "direct factory outlet Patek and Rolex sale" here… A somewhat strange lunch: a wholewheat crèpe with ham and cheese.
I have enough energy to continue after lunch. I safe the official stage 5 for another year and ride a loop to the Etang de Gruère (has nothing to do with the Gruyère cheese). More enjoyable cruising over pastures, past impressive farm houses – all under clear blue skies in warm sunny weather. And yes, it is super scenic, some single trails, forests, greenery and then the colour of the lake: simply marvellous.
I stop cycling in Tramelan, chill with an ice-cream and hop on the train back to base camp.
and here is the "tube" evidence:
The Real Stuff: Graubünden
10 days biking .. clearly not enough… So we head to my hometown in Graubünden. The first few days, I do easy roll-ins, 15 km before breakfast: nice and easy does it.
I'm very privileged to have access to a semi-pro cycling cousin. Cycling with him has a lot of advantages: I get to ride all kinds of secret and beautiful gems in and around Klosters, I have a guide and a bike trainer (luckily he is patient….), and he knows every GoPro spot.
Pischa And Jakobshorn Trail
It's very hard for me to adequately describe the beauty of the Pischa trail and the overall experience of that day. It just all fits. I'm in reasonably good shape (by my own standards…), good mood, good company, the trails are a challenge, mostly doable, the weather is fantastic and the landscape is epic. I write this blog a good six weeks after the ride(s) and the memories are still fresh and vivid.
After the Pischa trail we head for lunch. A technically nifty downhill trail from Jakobshorn to Davos is desert. To round the day off, we cycle from Davos to Klosters.
Let the motion picture tell the story:
and then some…
So if all that marvel and beauty wasn't enough, I manage to convince our daughter to join me for some off-roading. We take it easy, rent a decent 27.5″ hardtail and start with 5km loops to get into the groove. Step-by step our excursions get longer until we complete a very respectable 12k loop with quite some climbing and a stop at the cheese factory restaurant.
Finally, I know what it means "live to bike". I WANT MORE MORE MORE MORE….. already looking forward to summer 2020 in Switzerland.

In year 7, 8 and 9 the students follow the National Curriculum for History. They learn about significant individuals and events from the history of Britain from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. They also learn about key aspects of European and world history. They show their understanding by making connections between events and changes in different periods and areas studied, and by comparing structures of societies and economic, cultural and political developments. They evaluate and use sources of information, using their historical knowledge to analyse the past and explain how it can be represented and interpreted in different ways.
In History, students acquire and apply knowledge, skills and understanding in five main areas:
Building upon the knowledge and skills they developed in key stage 3, our GCSE students study the following units:
Germany 1890-1945, a period study, in which students will consider the development and collapse of democracy and the rise and fall of Nazism. They will consider the role of key individuals and groups throughout this period and will evaluate the impact of change on the social, political and economic landscape of Germany.
Conflict and tension: the inter war years 1918-1939, a depth study, specifically focused on the period between the two world wars. Students will explore the complex relationships between different key individuals and states leading them to consider factors that contributed to causing the outbreak of the second world war. Britain: Health and the people c1000 to the present day. This thematic unit leads students in an exploration of developments in medicine, surgery and public health in Britain. Students will consider how various factors encouraged and inhibited advancements over this time and will also assess the impact of contemporary ideas and influences both internal and external to Britain.
Elizabethan England c1568 – 1603. This final unit of study considers the reign of Elizabeth the first, her successes and the challenges to her rule. Students will consider methods used by Elizabeth to establish her authority and the challenges she faced from both within England and abroad. The experiences of ordinary citizens during this period will also be explored as students consider the golden age of Elizabethan England and whether this was a positive experience for all citizens. In addition, this unit also includes the study of a historical environment. The location of this study will have links to Elizabethan England and will enable students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding through a study of a specified location. Locations will change annually, and this is decided by the exam board but in the past have included Hardwick Hall, Globe theatre, Spanish Armada and Kenilworth Castle.
This range of topics enables students to not only learn about history and enhance their skills of historical enquiry, but also to observe how change occurs. Students will gain an insight into how history shapes current events and this in turn enables them to gain a greater understanding of the world in which they live.
Whilst studying A level history at Macmillan Academy, students will look in detail at two specific topics.
The first is a breadth study of 'The Tudors: England 1485-1603.' Within this unit, students will consider the effectiveness of Tudor rule and the relationship England had with foreign powers during this time. Students will also consider how England changed during this period and how these changes impacted Tudor society including the significance of key individuals.
The second unit of study is 'Democracy and Nazism: Germany, 1918–1945.'
This unit is a depth study of a period of German history during which a newly developed democratic form of government gave way to a dictatorial Nazi regime. This unit successfully builds upon prior knowledge and skills that students may have from GCSE, although previous study is not essential. Students will explore the creation and collapse of arguably the most democratic government of its time and also consider the conditions that developed allowing for the establishment and sustainment of Hitler's dictatorship.
Each unit of study is assessed by examination at the end of the course and accounts for 40% (per unit) of a student's overall grade with the final 20% achieved through the completion of an historical investigation (Non-examined assessment/coursework).
Students will be required to identify an issue or topic they wish to explore, covering a 100-year time period and then carry out an independent investigation.

Each week on GolfChannel.com, we'll examine which players' stocks and trends are rising and falling in the world of golf.
JT (+9%): And now it's official: After five wins, a major, a FedExCup title and $20 mil in the bank, 2017 will be remembered as the year Justin Thomas became a bona fide star.
X-Man (7%): Just three months ago, Xander Schauffele was worried about whether he'd be able to keep his card. Now, after capping his rookie season with a Tour Championship victory, he appears to be yet another standout from the high school class of 2011.
Presidents Cup (+3%): Team golf is a blast, at least until Sunday afternoon, when this biennial event usually ends in a rout. On paper, at least, this looks like another red and white blowout.
Tiger (+2%): Finally, a Tiger Woods sighting, and it's not hard to imagine that he has been looking forward to this week for a while. It's an opportunity to reemerge and reconnect.
Matthew Southgate (+1%): Yes, it was a triple whammy – a leaf knocks his ball off-line, then he doesn't replace it, signs an incorrect scorecard and gets docked four shots – but he starts the Finals finale at No. 20 on the money list, in position (for now) to secure his card for next season. Come on, Golf Gods: Do the right thing.
Steve Williams (-1%): It looks like the end of the road for one of golf's most famous caddies, as Williams won't carry the bag for Adam Scott in 2018 and said that next year, his 40th as a looper, will likely be his last.
Hideki (-2%): The International team's best player tied for 26th at East Lake amid rumblings that he's injured, exhausted or probably both.
Paul Casey (-3%): No one has come closer more often over the past three seasons, racking up 16 top-5s on Tour, but his Sunday 73, with so much at stake, seemed all too familiar for a player who is looking to snap an eight-year winless drought.
End-of-season awards debate (-4%): Finalists for the PGA Tour Player and Rookie of the Year awards were announced Monday. It should take five seconds to fill out the ballots.
FedEx format (-7%): When even the overall champion says the ending was awkward, that's not a good sign. Changes are on the horizon – perhaps an extra day for an all-or-nothing, 18-hole shootout? – but the Tour might never find a season ender that produces both drama and a satisfying, season-long winner.

France Télévisions renews its trust in EUROMEDIA for all RF needs to produce the coverage of several of its cycling races for the next five years.
Following an open call for tender, France Télévisions has renewed its trust in EUROMEDIA for the provision of RF (Radio Frequency) means that will be used to cover a large part of the cycling races broadcast by the public group for the period 2016-2020.
For the next five years, EUROMEDIA will therefore continue to draw upon its technical and human resources in order to provide France Télévisions with the necessary RF means to cover the largest cycling event in the world, the Tour de France, as well as the Paris-Nice, Critérium du Dauphiné, Paris-Roubaix and Paris-Tours cycling races.
The decision taken by France Télévisions reflects EUROMEDIA's renowned expertise and technological developments in RF (wireless) broadcasting since many years, in partnership notably with France Télévisions and Amaury Organisation (ASO), organisers of the above-mentioned races. EUROMEDIA will provide France Télévisions with all of its expertise consisting of:
Decades of accumulated experience and know-how that will guarantee top of the range services for France Télévisions, who produce the feed on behalf of ASO, and in accordance with France Télévisions' high standards of live RF broadcasts set from the start.
A team of permanent staff with internationally recognised expertise guaranteeing a culture of excellence when it comes to handling the coverage of complex events.
Specifically designed tools for this type of production. EUROMEDIA has always supported its clients by developing and investing regularly in innovative technology and equipment with ever-increasing performance. In 2015 a new OB truck (the C42) and new cameras (acquisition of the first Sony HDC-4300 camera) made their debut at the Tour de France finishing line.
A Research and Development unit that guarantees the development of leading-edge equipment. Thanks to Livetools Technology headed by Luc Geoffroy and part of the EUROMEDIA that develops and manufactures its own transmission links, EUROMEDIA was able to work in close collaboration with France Télévisions to develop a whole range of high tech products.
Jean-Maurice OOGHE, production director of the Tour de France for France Télévisions expressed his satisfaction and said: «Congratulations to the RF crews of EUROMEDIA. For many years I have appreciated their deep knowledge and expertise. Filming the Tour is always such a challenge. Innovation is the key. The next five years are going to be very exciting! »
Lionel VIALANEIX, Chairman of EUROMEDIA added: « Together with France Télévisions and ASO we have continued to develop and enrich the coverage of cycling races in general and the Tour de France in particular. The broadcasting quality for the Tour sets an example worldwide. True to the goals we fixed together, the next five years of the renewed collaboration with France Télévisions consolidates our technical leadership and expertise and means we will continue working together in terms of research and development for the future coverage of cycling races on television as well as other screens.»

Humor is used throughout the story but in moderation, it keeps us entertained but it doesn't distract us from what we are reading in the story. Twain was able to fine a balance between life lesson and a life joke in "the celebrated jumping frog of calaveras county", humor and personification are two of the many he has done so.
– Twitters is not a good place to find rhetoric. The examples I have used show cases where rhetoric can be studied but overall it is not the place to go if one needs a clear understanding of for example literary terms. Many of the literary devices used on twitter were used wrong and it took a great deal of searching to weed out the good from the bad and applying it to my short story. What twitter can actually do is show us how bad we use literary devices to begin with. The study of speaking or writing effectively can be studied on twitter but the study will only show us how modern society uses it not the proper use of it.

In the 19 years that the FT has ranked the world's top 100 EMBA programs, it has rarely seen such a rise to the top of its standings. Already, HEC's International Executive MBA was last year's strongest new entrant at sixth. Now, it has shot to the top of the prestigious annual table. For Poets & Quants, the program "benefitted from the career progress (where it ranked first) as well as the amount of work experience (rising to fifth this year from 39th in 2018) of the surveyed graduates."
"This ranking is a recognition of the strength of our EMBA programs," said Andrea Masini, HEC's Associate Dean of MBA Programs, "as well as our talented students, world-class faculty, innovative curriculum and outstanding alumni community." As well as top spot for HEC's EMBA solo program, the TRIUM EMBA - bringing together NYU Stern, LSE and HEC Paris - maintained its top three standing, leading the table in terms of "international course experience", and "work experience" of its participants. TRIUM was launched in 2001, the same year the FT began its EMBA rankings, and has maintained strong positions at the very top of the table since its first participation in 2004. Both programs feature a blended learning model designed to answer the business needs of top-level executives who are devoted to entrepreneurship at a global level.
"This achievement is a testament to your hard work, commitment and perpetual dissatisfaction with the status quo," wrote Dean Peter Todd in a congratulatory message to his staff shortly after the announcement. "Combine this with the recent number 3 ranking globally for the full time MBA in The Economist as well as the number 2 ranking in Forbes among international two-year MBA programs and you all have a lot to be proud of."
One HEC alumnus who set up a company after graduating told the FT: "The strong HEC entrepreneurship culture gave me the self-confidence and courage to move ahead."

This 'monument' highlights Argentina's gender gap when it comes to household chores
Clorox-owned cleaning brand Ayudin built the sculptures in Buenos Aires
Editor's Pick
In Argentina—a country where men still do much less of the household cleaning than women—there's a sarcastic expression: that when a man does do some chores, he "deserves a monument." So Clorox-owned cleaning brand Ayudin decided to literally do that just that.
In a campaign by FCB Mexico, the brand built actual sculptures of men and women doing chores, and displayed them in the center of Buenos Aires. But the figures of the men are missing sections and body parts, to highlight the gap between women's contributions and men's—for example out of every 100 women who clean the floors, 72 men do. Jowy Roman, an emerging artist who champions gender equality, created the sculptures, which were displayed from April 10-14 in the city's Federal Republic of Brazil Square.
Javier Campopiano, partner and chief creative officer at FCB Mexico, explains: "While the statues representing what women do at home are complete, the statues that reflect what men do are unfinished. This expresses the exact percentage that's still missing for them to equal women's efforts, in order to raise awareness about this issue and work toward narrowing such a disparity."
The campaign aims to show that while in the past, women doing the chores was something taken for granted, things are changing—but there's still work to be done. According to a recent study by Opinaia, in Argentina women spend 50% more time cleaning the house every week, as compared to men, and only 37% of men do these activities every day. In seven out of ten households where couples live together (with or without children), women are in charge of the household chores.
"For Clorox, and in Argentina for Ayudín, it is critical to remember that both men and women should do the cleaning at home," saus Elena Otero, marketing vice president at Clorox International. "Based on our motto, 'Because clean matters, we do it together,' our challenge was to create a space of dialogue for men and women alike. Men haven't yet become co-responsible for doing household chores on an equal basis. We have to continue to work in order to introduce a more equitable distribution of household chores."

Rifle Upgrades: 12 ways to do it cheap and easy
Rifle upgrades are a Good Thing, and we should all be looking to make one…but we're not talking about high dollar parts for your AR-15 build. Today we're talking about some simple fixes you can do with stuff lying around the house.
JTT: Cheap and Easy, the Way We Like It (AR15 Upgrades and Fixes)
Jake Bush
1. ERGO GRIP Gapper. If you do any serious training with a carbine you'll get that super annoying blister on top of your "bird finger" middle knuckle. Yeah, I know you want to get the Magpul this and that, and trust me I love Magpul (you guys are my spirit animal), but we're talking super cheap and easy fixes. The Gapper works so well you'll never understand how it's not OEM.
Cost: $2.50
2. Mark your Magazines. Your name x2, magazine number x2, and loaded to XX number of rounds (x2). Yep, it seems like something stupid if you don't do it, and it seems stupid simple to those that do, but MARK YOUR MAGS. This way you know YOUR mags are YOUR mags. No arguments. My name is right there. And when one goes Tango Uniform, you can confirm it's the mag and flatten it. And when you get in a shooting and the investigation happens, they know it's your mag, can account for all your mags, and can account for your rounds. Otherwise they keep hunting the two rounds you didn't load, for a long time.
Cost: a silver sharpie marker, $2.50
3. The "Askins H" Front Sight. Col. Charles Askins was a gunfighter back in the day, and he used to tie a white bandanna around the muzzle of his shotgun so he had a poor man's night sight. I use a silver Sharpie marker to paint an H on the front sight tower. In lower light you can roughly line it up using the top of the H as goal posts. Line him up, then activate your light. You know the rest. It also helps with the old recoil-had-me-looking-at-the-wing-instead-of-the-front-sight problem. It's a common problem for new shooters and easily fixed with a silver Sharpie. You can thank my friend, the incomparable Ed Head of Gunsite, Down Range TV and retired Border Patrol Agent, for helping me figure this out.
Cost: silver sharpie marker for $2.50, or free since you already have the marker.
4. The Paracord Buttstock Sling Loop. This is so simple it hurts. Pull two screws, loop paracord around the screws with the knot in the storage compartment, and screw the butt plate back down. Now mount your sling. Now the sling fits off the side as opposed to the bottom of the butt, and it hangs right. My old A2 has this upgrade, with an M60 sling. It works well as a two point. I've set up SEVERAL state troopers and officers who were limited to agency issued milsurp A1 or A2 M16s. Those guys LOVE it. Some of the best bang for the buck right here.
Cost: ten inches of paracord, $0.25
5. Chalk your serial number. This simple fix is something I like, it looks good, and your agency armorer and qualifying instructor will appreciate it. When it comes time to account for fifty or so rifles for the yearly inventory or your one, two, three or four qualifications, those writing down the serial numbers will be done with you faster than everyone else. All it takes is some paper towels, rubbing alcohol, Goo-Be-Gone, and the same silver Sharpie marker. Clean it, mark it and remove the excess. Let it dry and repeat.
Cost: Silver sharpie marker you already have, Goo-Be-Gone or other solvent, and rubbing alcohol, about $3.00.
We'll help you take better care of those dick-skinners.
6. Shoot thru muzzle caps. So you track the guy ten miles deep in the woods and halfway there you trip and your muzzle goes point down in the mud. Is it safe to shoot? Are you sure? Did you bring a rod to clear it? You just hauled this 9lb chunk of steel and several pounds of loaded mags into the woods after an armed suspect only to wind up armed with just your pistol. Simple fix: put a shoot-through muzzle cap on it. If you go muzzle down the barrel stays clear. If you have to shoot through it, Nike up and just do it. Stay with the black ones, because tipping your lethal weapon with orange is, to me at least, STUPID.
Cost: I just bought 100 of them off eBay for $35 shipped so, $0.35
7. Mark your sight settings. When you get a perfect zero, mark your damned settings. People like to dick with knobs, adjustments, etc. And as much as we all say "No one touches my rifle because I never leave it unattended," you may have to set it down in the office to take a leak, someone may borrow your patrol vehicle, it may get picked up off the rack at the range by someone who "mistakes" it for his, or you may just bump it. Who knows? But you can look and verify it's where you left it and fix it if it ain't. Why risk it? I use, you guessed it, a silver Sharpie marker.
Cost: FREE BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE A SILVER SHARPIE.
8. Secure your damned sling. This was mentioned in the comments to My Patrol Rifle and Me. I pull mine rearward, wrap it over the butt and fold back once before securing it with a good rubber band. I do the same on my shotguns. You can run the rifle with it secured like this, it's quick to deploy, and it cures the annoying sling flop. As one reader noted, it also makes for a safer exit from a patrol car as the sling can't hang up. My normal carry is overhead in a rack and I let the sling hang there, as a personal preference, but when I drive another vehicle or my personal vehicle even at the house in the safe or with the home defense AR, the sling is rubber-banded away. I tend to use brightly colored rubber bands for visibility.
Cost: a rubber band, so maybe a penny?
9. Mark the top round of each mag. You ever wonder if a mag from your bag is topped off? You should NEVER EVER go out with less than topped-off mags. Yeah, you could buy windowed mags, or you can just count the proper number (30, 28, 20, 18) into a container, then count them again as you load them. Two good counts and you are GTG. Now use a black marker to mark the top round.
Make sure to mark the back of the round too. Now when you look at the top of a mag you can confirm it is full and GTG. And never ever rechamber a round after it has been chambered once. It may not go bang when you need it to. This time you use a black sharpie marker!
Cost: $1.50
Need better boots? Use code breachbangclear at checkout.
10. Black out your rear sight aperture using a black sharpie. It just cleans it up a little and makes nicks or wear less reflective.
Cost: free because you have a black sharpie marker.
11. Color your front sight. I use a bottle of glow-in-the-dark fingernail polish in orange, but you can also use model paint or a neon painter's pen. Once you are zeroed, degrease the front sight using rubbing alcohol and carefully paint a layer on. Once it's dry go back and repeat until you have a bright orange front sight. At night it doesn't do much unless you charge it with a flashlight, but daytime, along with the Askins H it makes an OUTSTANDING sight picture!
Cost: about $1.50 for a bottle of fingernail polish or $4.00 for a paint pen
12. Mark your work number or your name on your buttstock, especially if you have an issued rifle. You take 25 guys with identical rifles, run them through the range on qualifications, and someone is going to pick up the wrong rifle. Which make for a hell of a mess to sort out in a post-shooting investigation. Make it easy. Put your name or work number on it. I use a silver Sharpie. And it comes off or you can mark over it with a black marker.
Cost: $FREE

APAC provides growth opportunities for trade surveillance systems vendors during the forecast period, considering the increasing commercial investments from trading organizations to avoid heavy fines due to violation of rules.

What happens when you get a second chance ten years later?
What happens when you get a second chance ten years later?
One Halloween when his daughter was six years old, freelance designer Mason Pritcher had a chance encounter with business accounting student Ethan Dunsford. After a stressful night, a missed opportunity left them parting ways.
Nearly ten years later, when his daughter brings home Jackson Dunsford, the younger brother of the man he met all those years ago, Mason cannot help but wonder if this is the start to a second chance he had been looking for to connect with Ethan.
But a lot can change in ten years…

Is Middle-earth: Shadow of War PS4 Pro Compatible?
Is Middle-earth: Shadow of War PS4 Pro Compatible?
Middle-earth: Shadow of War has finally arrived for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4. And, of course, with the more powerful PS4 Pro now available on store shelves, many will be wondering if Monolith Productions makes the most of Sony's supercharged system. Well, it turns out that there's some good and bad news on that front.
The good news is that, yes, Middle-earth: Shadow of War will make use of the PS4 Pro. Unfortunately, if an interview from back in June is anything to go by, it may not run at a 4K resolution. Speaking to GamingBolt, Monolith's Design Director Bob Roberts, revealed that, while Shadow of War runs great on PS4 Pro they couldn't "guarantee" it'd run at a 4K resolution. Roberts' full comments on Shadow of War's PS4 Pro compatibility were, "We're still optimizing for that. Obviously it's more powerful than the base PS4. The specs aren't quite as high as the X. But I think we can still get most of the graphics. Things that we're still trying to pull off. It will still have HDR. I think we'll still have 4K but I can't guarantee that right now. I think we're still optimizing."
As such, it remains somewhat unclear as to whether or not Shadow of War will run at a 4K resolution on the PS4 Pro, but it certainly sounds like it'll feature a smoother framerate and more detailed visuals, too. As soon as we know more, we'll be sure to update this post and let you know.

Just a heads up. I ran into this issue earlier this year while setting up the Hyper-V Release Candidate, and just ran into it again on the RTM version (due to my short memory). If you are using Hyper-V and decide to enable Aero, your host system performance will slow to a complete crawl. Especially while doing anything video or graphics intensive: moving windows, watching movies, opening pictures, etc.
I ended up uninstalling Hyper-V from my desktop and moving the VM to a dedicated Hyper-V server... What can I say? I like Aero.
More information about the Hyper-V performance bug can be found here.

Next month, Xbox 360 users in the UK will be able to access Sky TV from their Xbox 360. This is probably going to be a big, big deal.
Why? Because the arrangement - which was first announced a few months back - means 360 owners get access to the "Sky Player", a platform that will be integrated into the system's dash in much the same Netflix is in the US.
And this player lets them access not only TV shows, documentaries and films, but sport as well. In particular, Premier League matches. Imagine the 360 getting DirectTV's live NFL games in the US and you're on the right track as to how important this could be to selling the system to a particular type of customer.
The October date was announced in the latest issue of Sky's subscriber TV magazine [digital spy]
