It is the new peril threatening rural tranquility. Ancient bridges have been wrecked, trees uprooted, lamp-posts knocked over and walls flattened.
Country lanes have even been blocked for days as lost truckers, sent down the narrowest of roads because of the relentless logic of their satellite navigation systems, found their juggernauts wedged between hedgerows or stone cottages.
A Czech man spent three nights in his cab after his 40-tonne articulated lorry became stuck on a sharp bend on a Devon road until it was towed out of its resting place by a tractor. A village road in Cheshire was blocked for a day after a trucker following his satnav's directions up a twisting steep hill came to grief. Now lorry drivers will have no excuse for such embarrassing blunders. New warnings to them to ignore their satnav instructions and take a different route are to be put up on country lanes in the biggest overhaul of Britain's road signs for 40 years.
Other new signs unveiled yesterday include signs for electric car recharging points and "no entry except cycles" signs alerting cyclists to contraflow lanes in one-way streets. The moves are not only aimed at modernising the advice to road-users. They are also designed to sweep away the confusing – and occasionally contradictory – jumble of signs on main routes and to encourage councils to make roads more user-friendly.
Pedestrian crossings could be fitted with the "countdown timers" familiar in the United States and many European countries, while estimated journey times could be added to cycle route signs. Ministers hope to slash the number of signs by relaxing rules requiring some – such as those indicating the start of a pedestrian zone – to be placed on both sides of a road.
They also say they will cut red tape by allowing councils to put up many common signs without getting permission from Whitehall. Norman Baker, the transport minister, said: "We are cutting pointless bureaucracy, giving councils more freedoms, and updating our signs for the modern era.
"Sometimes, the jungles of signs and tangles of white, red and yellow lines can leave people more confused than informed. This expensive clutter can also leave our roadsides looking unsightly and unwelcoming."
Conservation groups have repeatedly called for initiatives to cut the number of roadside signs, arguing that a plethora of warnings and instructions is unsightly and dangerous. A study by the Campaign to Protect Rural England of a seven-mile section of a B-road in the South Downs National Park in Hampshire revealed an average of 45 signs per mile.
A notorious example of signs confusing drivers is at a junction near Oldham, Greater Manchester, where they are simultaneously told not to turn left, not to turn right, to give way and to keep to the 40mph speed limit.
On the road: A kerbside history
It was the Romans, with their famous road system, who introduced the first organised system of signposting on British highways. Their contribution was to erect columns telling travellers the distance and direction to the next towns.
Parish boundary-markers became important in the 16th century and in 1697 it became compulsory for guideposts to be placed on highways. In 1767, mileposts had to be placed at turnpikes to help coaches keep to a timetable. During this period milestones were popularised.
Modern roadsigns first appeared in the 1870s and 1880s and were brought about by the advent of cycling. They came in the form of a warning spelt out by the roadside, such as to indicate a particularly sharp bend ahead or steep hill.
The development of cars brought new demands for signposts and the first modern attempt at standardised signs was put forward in 1895 by the Italian Touring Club.
In Britain, the issue was tackled by the 1903 Motor Car Act which decided local authorities should be responsible for erecting warning signs at "dangerous corners, crossroads and precipitous places".
A year later, the Local Government Board issued the first guidelines on a signpost system intended to be universal across UK roads. Speed limits were indicated by a white ring with the maximum speed shown below, a solid red disc indicated prohibition, a hollow red triangle was a warning of dangers such as junctions or dangerous corners and diamond-shaped signs were used to provide other information.
Over the next few years, the range of signs increased as cars became increasingly common and in 1965 came the bulk of today's signpost conventions, bringing the country closely in line with the European system of signposting. Among the introductions were the blue signs with white lettering used on motorways.

Baylor College of Medicine, Berry Genomics Co. Seek to Improve on Prenatal Genetic Tests
News Jan 07, 2013
BCM's highly ranked genetics program, led by National Academy of Sciences member Dr. Arthur Beaudet, has been dedicated to providing the medical community with high-quality and comprehensive genetics testing services for over 30 years. BCM's Medical Genetics Lab has pioneered the development and use of microarray technology for the testing of prenatal/pediatric genetic disorders for more than 50,000 cases.
The microarray testing uses a gene-chip to assess the make-up of chromosomes (organized structures of DNA and proteins that are found in cells) in a particular part of the human genome (genetic blue print). In areas of the genome, there are portions of the genetic material that show imbalances because they are duplicated or deleted abnormally with gains and losses of genetic information that may signal risk for a genetic disorder.
Berry Genomics has developed technologies to screen and test for genetic abnormalities of the fetus by evaluating fetal DNA in maternal plasma. This technology avoids invasive prenatal diagnostic procedures of chorionic villus sampling, which requires samples being taken from the placenta, and/or amniocentesis, where samples are taken from the amniotic sac around the developing fetus.
These procedures have been a source of anxiety and apprehension for expectant mothers, Beaudet said.
"We are committed to improving the diagnostic sensitivity of invasive prenatal testing as exemplified by our participation in a recently published collaborative National Institutes of Health-funded study," said Dr. Arthur Beaudet, chair and professor of molecular and human genetics at BCM. "We are conducting research to enable non-invasive prenatal testing to detect all the conditions currently detected by invasive testing. It is an honor and a privilege to participate in this international collaboration."
"We are very pleased to enter this agreement with Baylor College of Medicine," said Dr. Daixing Zhou, CEO of Berry Genomics. "Non-invasive prenatal testing and microarray technology are rapidly changing the way we detect genetic diseases. By collaborating with Baylor College of Medicine, we are now able to offer the complete solutions for prenatal screening and diagnosis."

I want to do this - thanks for what you've posted here, very interesting. My only question for now is after shorting the caps as you've shown, what are you soldering the new caps to? The old shorted leads? This is what I have not been able to determine in reading about the Zxr cap mods.
Germanium's Sound blaster ZXR mod thread - Page 15
Gear mentioned in this thread:
Shortening is needed only where it shown as shortening. Then just solder new caps "legs" to the old caps, germanium explained that new caps will override old one (i don't fully understand this but he is the man who understand how it flows) so just keep polarity in mind and solder new caps legs to old ones under the board.
Edited by NoOneLt - 3/9/16 at 6:12am
The caps we use for this mod aren't polarized, at least none of the caps anyone so far has used and posted about.
Oh and look what I got to review from Burson Audio:
I am seeing if they will send me out the 2nd stage also, (V5-OPA-S is what goes in the other socket).
At least germanium told me to look at writings on caps and use it for choosing right "polarity" though it is not truly polarized.

I am only interested in upgrading the stereo fronts, not surround. Will I still need 7 caps or less because of that? Also, it appears Germanium (and yourself) doubled up on the caps for the fronts - it that so and why? Thanks!
Edited by germanium - 1/12/17 at 10:09am
Also good to note with caps like I used (ERSE PluseX), be careful with the leads because they can/will break off and you'll either have to solder the lead to the cap (like I did) or buy another one.
I wanted to share my new review of the Burson Audio V5-OPA and V5i Series op-amps since this thread played a role in me being selected by Burson Audio.
Wanted to give some credit to Germanium for opening the door for what is about to come. Soon you'll see a "ZoSo's SMD Op-Amp ZXR Tear Out" thread!
For now here the review (still about 1/4 of it missing until I get replacement parts from Burson Audio):
The op-amps you see that are surface mount (circled in red and green), I will be changing those with BB OPA604AU's all around.
(Every image/video you see used in my reviews/posts/website/forums are all taken by me and edited by me.)
This is the video I am trying to expand on to create a video review. I would welcome any ideas on ways to use the written review + this type of analysis to make a full-length video review of an op-amp series.

i have one question to Germanium regarding shortening of caps: is it harmfull for the card bypassing with metalic caps without without shortening of caps of front and surround ( green and red), what will the difference in sound.
Soundstage depth will shrink is the main difference.

Clemson team developing cheap diabetes monitoring [Anderson Independent Mail, S.C. :: ]
(Anderson Independent-Mail (SC) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) March 14--CLEMSON -- A research team of Clemson University faculty and students have come up with a cheap way for diabetics in the developing world to monitor their blood sugar. The technology could improve quality of life for diabetes sufferers around the globe and reduce public spending on the treatment of related diseases.
Bioengineering professor Delphine Dean and her Creative Inquiry students are working with health ministry officials in Tanzania, a nation of 44 million on Africa's east coast. It's among the world's poorest countries, with an average per capita income of $800, according to The Economist magazine. Clemson students and faculty have visited the country regularly for the last few years to work on projects with health officials.
Diabetes rates there have doubled in the last three decades and are projected to climb.
"Tanzanian hospitals have big problems treating diabetics," explained Dean. "Either they don't have glucometers or the strips they have don't match with the glucometers ... our students got the idea to print strips and over the last year we've really starting working together (with Tanzanian health officials)." Developing economies struggle with even the most rudimentary health care, so pricey treatments such as diabetes monitoring are rare. Untreated diabetes leads to heart and kidney disease, blindness and several other conditions which shorten lives and are expensive to treat.
Commercially available diabetes testing strips in the U.S. and Europe can sell for up to $50 for a box of 50, and glucometers retail for $20 and up depending on the model. Public and private insurers spend billions annually on diabetes care, money that countries like Tanzania couldn't begin to spend.
"Normally, strips cost about $1 apiece and some patients test five times a day," said Dean. "That adds up to lots of times." The Clemson researchers reasoned that routine monitoring of Type 1 and 2 diabetes would save countries like Tanzania billions annually in health costs. That led them to investigate using desktop printers to make testing strips as needed for use in cheap glucometers. Even in countries like Tanzania, hospitals have computers and printers.
After a year-plus of trial and error, they have arrived at a process that makes testing strips for about one penny apiece. Enzymes, stored in regular inkjet cartridges, are sprayed on ordinary, non-glossy printer paper. Users cut up the paper into test strips and load them into glucometers that can be built with parts sourced at any Radio Shack. One cartridge full of the enzymes should yield up to 4,000 strips that would be good for several weeks.
The enzymes react with a drop of a patient's blood and let sensors show blood-sugar levels.
"It is low tech," said Kayla Gainey, a doctoral candidate from Sumter. "There are no special power requirements and anybody can be taught to use a printer and cut out the strips. They don't have to be sterile and you can print up to 100 on a piece of (8.5" by 11") paper." Gainey said the glucometer technology they use was common in the devices over a decade ago, but it still works fine. She should know, as she lives with Type 1 diabetes. That firsthand knowledge helped develop the glucometer to be used in Tanzania.
"You know how the person is going to use it," she said. "It adds to things like how it opens and closes or the shape of the strip or the way you administer the blood drop." Tanzania's health ministry has established clinics across the country that treat nearly one-third of its diabetics with free or highly subsidized care, according to The Economist.
"The idea is for the clinics to print out the strips for patients," Dean said. "Hopefully, in the next year we get it deployed." The process will have to be tested and approved by Tanzanian regulators, and Dean said there are plans to do human testing on campus later this year. The technology will comply with global ISO standards, to broaden its use.
"That would help us provide access to this to other countries ... this is a problem in a lot of other places, too," Gainey said.
American suppliers have also expressed some interest in the team's work.
"We are doing that right now," said Dean. "I've been surprised in the amount of interest we've gotten from industry here in the state." The researchers are gratified that their work could be put to use on a large scale very soon, in an area that very much needs it.
"What excites me most about this is it puts the technology in the hands of the people who are in need," said team member Tyler Ovington, a senior from Greenville.
The technology is featured at www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz0XbMD_4g0&feature=em-share_video_user.
Diabetes facts --347 million people worldwide have diabetes.
--In 2004, an estimated 3.4 million people died worldwide of consequences of high fasting blood sugar.
--More than 80 percent of diabetes deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, like Tanzania.
--Diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death worldwide by 2030.
--50 percent of people with diabetes die of heart disease or stroke.
--1 percent of global blindness can be attributed to diabetes.
--Diabetes is among the leading causes of kidney failure.
--The overall risk of dying among diabetics is at least double the risk of nondiabetics.

Setting up the register and monitoring the sex offenders is costing the police in England and Wales about pounds 500,000 a month. The total cost so far is more than pounds 6.5m.
Figures from the police, however, show that most sex offenders - 6,262 or 95 per cent of those registered in the first year - have informed the authorities about their movements.
The Sex Offenders Act came into force in September last year in response to alarm at the lack of information on and monitoring of paedophiles once they were released.
Under the Act, an estimated 6,615 sex offenders who were either being released from jail under licence, or who received a community sentence such as probation, must within 14 days inform the police of their address, or whether they have moved, or changed their name.
Failure to comply with the new law is punishable by a maximum of six months in jail. But despite the publicity surrounding the new powers only a few offenders who failed to be registered have been punished so far. Several have been jailed for the offence.
Tony Butler, the Chief Constable of Gloucestershire and vice-chairman of the Association of Chief Police Officers' crime committee with responsibility for the management and monitoring of sex offenders, said that in the first year the Act was implemented, 353 offenders had not registered.
Some have never registered, some have moved address and not informed the police, and some may have gone abroad and do not need to register. The Home Office is drawing up plans to block this loophole for "foreign sex holidays".
Mr Butler argued that this figure compared favourably with the United States where compliance rates range from 30 per cent in some states to 85 per cent at best.
The annual cost of implementing the Act is expected to exceed pounds 7m. Mr Butler added that a significant extra expense has been the cost of policing high-profile paedophiles. For example, the release of the notorious sex killer Sidney Cook cost Avon and Somerset police pounds 150,000 in managing public disorder.
There are an estimated 260,000 convicted sex offenders in the UK, 110,000 of whom have offended against children, but as the legislation is not retrospective most do not have to register.
Harry Fletcher, assistant general secretary of the National Association of Probation Officers, argued: "The authorities have done well to get nearly all the names to register, but it still only represents 5 per cent of known offenders."
Meanwhile, a further measure to prevent people convicted of sex crimes from reoffending comes into power today. The Sex Offender Order will allow courts to ban convicted offenders from going near specified places, such as schools, and from specified activities, such as joining a Scout group.
Breach of the order, which will last five years, can lead to a maximum five-year jail term.
Police officers can apply for an order against any sex offender whose activities give cause for concern.

Progress was claimed by the British Horseracing Board yesterday in attempts to improve the conditions of lowly-paid stable staff. Racing's treatment of its staff received damning treatment in the BHB-commissioned Donoughue Report published last June.
Greg Nichols, the board's chief executive, gave an upbeat report into the ongoing work being done to benefit workers in stables. In the shadow of Lord Donoughue's report, a BHB Stable and Stud Staff Steering Group has been meeting regularly under the leadership of Baroness Ann Mallalieu. A year on from their first meeting, Mallalieu insisted much had been done to implement the report's recommendations.
Although some areas such as pension provision and overtime payments remained outstanding, negotiations are underway between the Stable Lads' Association and the National Trainers Federation.
Meanwhile no less than 75 per cent of the Don-oughue Report's recommendations have already either been implemented or are in the process of being so, Nicholls said.
These include the establishment of an anti-bullying and harassment policy - the wording of which was agreed by Racing Welfare, the NTF and the SLA - which has been distributed to all racing stables and the establishment of a telephone line offering 24-hour counselling for those within the sport.
Additional funding has also been agreed for racing's full-time chaplain, Graham Locking, whose work in Newmarket has had particular recent resonance given three suicides this year of grooms working in the town.
SLA inspections of racecourses and co-operation between the SLA and individual tracks have also seen a dramatic improvement in some facilities for travelling staff, including hostels and canteens.
The leadership of the SLA has been bitterly criticised for years by stable lads for failing to press for better pay and conditions. The Association was backed by racing's establishment to try to block recruitment to the Transport & General Workers Union.
It was reported yesterday that an increased level of on-the-job or day-release training has been requested by employees and employers to help reduce the high level of drop-out from within the industry.
"We know we can do better and we intend to do better," Nichols said. "In many ways it has been a very active year and we are proud of everything that has already been achieved.
"But we all have a duty of care towards the people who make our sport what it is and there is more to be done in 2006. We have gone through the painful stage of admitting that there was a very real problem.
"But one of the greatest anonymous successes of the Donoughue Report is that for the first time there is joined-up thinking throughout the sport about where we go from here to put things right." While admitting to some frustration at the slow speed of change in some areas, Mallalieu reported that she was optimistic that more good news would be forthcoming.
"The Donoughue report made for some uncomfortable reading and I think it is to the credit of former BHB chairman Peter Savill and his successor Martin Broughton that they have given such a high priority to its findings," she said.
"Our key priorities at the moment are obviously related to those in the industry now. But our proposals for better and more localised training, and our hopes for improved pay and benefits ought to benefit anybody who comes into the sport in the future."
Last post for Best Mate's ashes
Best Mate's ashes will be laid to rest behind the winning post at Cheltenham prior to racing there on Saturday week.
There will be a brief ceremony on the course at 11am to commemorate Henrietta Knight's star chaser, who died after collapsing at Exeter on 1 November.
Best Mate, winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2002, 2003 and 2004, was the first triple winner of chasing's blue riband since the mighty Arkle in the 1960s.
In addition, he won his first race in Britain, a bumper, at Cheltenham in November, 1999, and was also successful in a novice chase at the course the following year.
Best Mate's owner Jim Lewis is pleased the great horse will be honoured in a place that will always be in view of the race-going public.
Lewis said: "He was a people's champion and will be at rest at the scene of his greatest triumphs."

54 Comments on "Changelog MiUI globeROM 6.11.17"
Some MpDecision Mod fixes for Mi4s?
can we use ZCX TWRP to flash this ROM?
also currently based on Xiaomi eu ROM 6.11.3
should i wipe data??
I dont know if this twrp is compatible. We recommend using the one from xiaomi.eu team on androidfilehost. Link is in our how to page. dont need to wipe data.
yes just flashed on kenzo and ZCX with nop. Only one strange think with integrated graphical battery monitor, i see 100% but its' not. Sry 4 my english
so the bug for this week version is the battery shows 100℅ battery but its not actually 100℅ , for your opinion.. stable 8.0.5 or this is better for daily use ?
Sir, should I wipe all the data to update or just install then clear cache/dalvik?
Ok i have flashed the latest ROM for my Redmi 3 "ido".
Sometimes when i reboot it get's stuck and i need to "force boot into recovery with Power + VOL UP buttons". Then from there it will reboot normally.
I patched with the BOOT.img from here and it solved the problem.
Is there any possibility to release an upcoming rom adding Indonesian? We mi4c users in Indonesia is expecting it. Thank You
For TWRP for Redmi 4 Pro please see this post, could you test it? http://en.miui.com/thread-412204-3-1.html
Any chance it works at some point on redmi note 3 pro ? (in the post, kenzo said not working, I imagine it's the same for kate).
If I installed mod on previous version, installing the new version, so without mpdecision, will "clean" it from my phone ?
thanks for the great works guys.
I always get error 7 in twrp recovery. My device is Nikel. Any solution? Thanks.
u need a newer version of recovery twrp
Are this room support Indonesia language
On the Mi4c, the battery melts like snow in the sun literally, 30% in 10 min on 6.11.17, it hurts more and he heats, I raised 58 ° C max
in version mi4 (6.11.17 rom)not going logo,i guess is by mark the option MPDECISION will try to make the flash without him
mp decision doesnt work now with redmi 3s prime. and default governer is performance now
HERMES here:
Resuming videos with stockplayer doesn't work after restarting app. Movie just freezes, sound plays on. No matter if played internal or external sd.
Maybe hardware acceleration (at least vlc player automatically deactivated h acceleration.)
Resuming longer audio tracks (p.e. hour-long podcasts) not working on Bluetooth after phone calls. Track starts all over then.
Impossible, I can not flashear this latest update, not even removing mpdecision
Is this lollipop base or marshmallow base?
in kenzo, cant login mi acoount at first flash, stuck in error searching device info
Are you connected to the Internet? Searching decive Info needs a lot of time.. my kenzo needs 20 minutes. Try to restart if takes longer as 30 minutes
Hai Guys, thank you for good jobs with Mi-Globe rom, we know that weekly roms is updated every week based on weekly xiaomi.eu roms, how about stable roms? I just saw mi4c stable rom is updated to 126.96.36.199 both at MIUI and xiaomi.eu
Mi Max 32gb (Hydrogen) was bricked after flashing this. Was able to recover via MiFlash and a FastBoot rom. I tried to install it again with a full wipe and the same issue occured. Anyone else on Hydrogen having this issue?
Sorry, just to clarify I flashed over the previous SMIUI weekly build.
Could the Mi Max Hydrogen download have gotten mixed up with the Helium download by any chance. I definitely downloaded via the Hydrogen page.
Can i update from sMiui Stable 188.8.131.52 on mi2s wthout wipe/data?
Are they all unlocked bootloader? I have a Mi4c.
gsam battery monitor indicates more than 70% on apps battery usage. Only get 12h standby with 2h screen on time. Very bad battery for mi4C

Close the distance with the Archers and Summoners as quickly as possible in this battle. When the distance between your units and theirs is great, they launch wave after wave of Arrow and Elemental attacks, causing much HP damage. If the Summoners advance early, concentrate on them first, then the Archers. Summoner spells such as Shiva (Ice Elemental) and Ifrit (Fire Elemental) affect a wide area; a single blast can capture most of your characters if you're not careful.
As in the previous battle, both Mustadio and Agrias can be very helpful in subduing enemies, although you can't count on them to finish what they start.

System-level analysis of network interfaces for hierarchical MPSoCs
Ax, Johannes, Sievers, Gregor, Flasskamp, Martin, Kelly, Wayne, Jungeblut, Thorsten, & Porrmann, Mario (2015) System-level analysis of network interfaces for hierarchical MPSoCs. In Proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Network on Chip Architectures (NoCArc), ACM, Waikiki, Hawaii, pp. 3-8.
|PDF (489kB)
Network Interfaces (NIs) are used in Multiprocessor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs) to connect CPUs to a packet switched Network-on-Chip. In this work we introduce a new NI architecture for our hierarchical CoreVA-MPSoC. The CoreVA-MPSoC targets streaming applications in embedded systems. The main contribution of this paper is a system-level analysis of different NI configurations, considering both software and hardware costs for NoC communication. Different configurations of the NI are compared using a benchmark suite of 10 streaming applications. The best performing NI configuration shows an average speedup of 20 for a CoreVA-MPSoC with 32 CPUs compared to a single CPU. Furthermore, we present physical implementation results using a 28 nm FD-SOI standard cell technology. A hierarchical MPSoC with 8 CPU clusters and 4 CPUs in each cluster running at 800MHz requires an area of 4.56mm2.

Friday, March 19, 2010
Wow! This week has flown by. One day it was Monday and the next it seemed to be Friday. I live for the weekend so I am not complaining. I have been wicked busy this week and next week will be wicked busy also. I need a vacation! My schedule is another way to judge how far I have come. I have had a hard time making and keeping friends most of my life. For the longest time, I could say I didn't really have friends that I saw regularly. Maybe it was my depression, loner tendancies or shyness, I just had a tough time. Flash forward to now, I have had a social something every night this week. I can honestly say I have made friends, who I spend time with. Between friends made knitting or from other social groups, I don't feel as awkward as before and have no qualms about talking and laughing. This is good to know because it has been a crazy week mood wise. I have been feeling a bit depressed. The sunshine has helped a bit but even my Dad said I sounded down on the phone and could tell from my Facebook status's that I have been down. It was another week of waking up late and with some bad news about a former coworker, it has just been one of those weeks. Hopefully, the sun will continue and some of the green will return and replace the grayness of it it all outside. Tonight's fun is dinner at The Beehive in Boston with my friends. Pictures to come!

Insurance : Do you know why The Bump At The End Of A Laptop Cable (See why)
The Blue Side Of An Eraser
You remember those erasers we used back in school which had one side to be blue and the other to be red? Back in school, we were told the blue is meant for erasing pen writings, most of us tried it and it obviously didn't work, we ended up tearing our books.
This is because the blue side is not meant for that, it is actually meant for erasing pencil writings on hard surfaces while the red side was meant for erasing pencil writings on soft surfaces. Now you have it, you can teach it to your children so they don't repeat your mistake..
The Bump At The End Of A Laptop Cable
The bump at the end of your laptop cable known as ferrite beads is not there to distract you or mess up your day. It is not just there for fun but serves a good purpose. It is there to prevent interference in the cable.

There is a hill I used to ride my horse near called Robin a Tiptoe hill. It has a copse on top and as I galloped up the bridleway the birds used to scatter on hearing my pony's thundering hooves. This is my inspiration for this print. It is an original collagraph on Somerset paper. I added the birds to masked areas of the print with watercolour. It is number 4 of a limited edition of 10. Sold mounted, cello wrapped and ready to frame.

Murray's Firing Pin Installation For The SKS Rifle
What do you think about this video?
Floyd Teter: Often not nearly this easy. I've been working on 3 Yugos for weeks. Boiled out the cosmoline, used mineral spirits, used break cleaner, used simple green. After each treatment, I placed the bolt in a vise grip. Used a matching punch and full swing with a 5 lb. metal mallet. All the punch does is bounce.
THOMAS EDISON: I made a hole in my reloading table. it makes it quite easy to remove this pin.
samerickson89: Do you think using a bench vise to push the retaining pin back into place would be a little easier/less likely to bend the pin? Works like a charm for removing the taper pins on an AR15 front sight base.
Don VW: Just curious, would a brass mallet be safer, as well as less harmful to the metal pin? As a former and happily retired mechanic/machinist, I always found the brass mallet to be one of the most valuable tools in the tool chest. Haven't done much gunsmithing yet so I thought I'd ask. Thanks
Doc Tari: No problem bringing in parts like this into Canada. shovster67 mentions that you can't spend more than $100.00 or there is a lot of paperwork to fill out. However, this is classic duty and excise tax information that is now automated if you ship using any large courier company like UPS or FedEx. They do all the paperwork and then you pay the taxes and duty when they deliver it to you. It's much easier these days.
steven cates: The customer reviews I read had a few of those where the pin broke of the spring lost it's tension. It seems to be within a couple hundred rounds usually. I suppose it's a crap shoot (pardon the pun).
Betrayed Vet: I learned a trick in the Army that I sware by. Take a gallon sized ziplock bag and put all of your small parts in, and then spray shaving cream into the bag. kneed the bag to push the shaving cream into all the cracks and spaces. Let it sit for an hours and clean with a tooth bruch while running it under hot water, dry the parts the best you can with a towel and let then air dry and apply a light coating of oil and you will have the cleanest parts ever. Sounds crazy but works.
jtzgt40: hammer hammer, clang clang, and if that doesn't work, get a bigger hammer right????
TheBeaver Eh: When installing the firing pin, you have to hold it in all the way while you hammer in the retaining pin - there are ridges in the pin that block the hole if it isn't pushed all the way in past those ridges. Otherwise, you will not be able to hammer in the retaining pin as you do - bending the retaining pin and probably the firing pin too. "Hammer Hammer Clang Clang well you get the point" is not a very good how to video. Should delete this video and try again so you don't screw-up peoples' SKS.
rusty keller: I think the cause of slam fires is probably one of three things. Dirty pin (cosmoline), rusted pin, or dry firing, which drives the firing pin forward with no cartridge primer to stop it, so it jams in the front of the bolt. Next cartridge chambered slam fires. For firing pin removal/installation. Use two wooden blocks to rest bolt on, and protect bolt. Don't use a carpenters hammer (ball peen). Don't install retaining pin with a hammer. Use a brass mallet, punch or drift to avoid damage to pin.
chrismc410: or some gun scrubber does a very good job getting it out too, especially the small straw
chrismc410: Don't most Russian designed weapons in general have free floating firing pins? The SKS has one, most AKs as you state, the Makarov does, I dont know about the Tokarev, I think it does, not sure on that one.
CJ Grisham: @chcknhawk retaining pin was difficult to get out and i thoughr i was doing something wrong. i didnt want to beat on it too much, but it looks like thats how some are.
CJ Grisham: thanks for the video. my firing pin retaini.
squirrell7226: get permission from you spouse if married!! (trust me) and run the metal parts (all of them) thru the dishwasher... it'll get rid of all traces of cosmoline.. worked for me and never had a problem... put a murray's pin in anyway tho...
squirrell7226: dont do it.. the bolt assembly is not designed to put up with the stresses of full auto nor is the overall design.. if you want to break the law do it w/a platform that is actually available in full auto (AK for example...) but its a waste of ammo and the cool factor isn't worth the prison time if you get caught...
cloud819: Thanks for making this video, could I suggest investing in a dead blow hammer. It took me years to buy one and now it is one of my most used tools.
MarvelousSeven: Also taking a hammer to your bolt isn't wise. Use a rubber or wooden mallet. At the very least use a punch.
MarvelousSeven: Clean the firing pin channel of all the cosomline and slam fire isn't a problem. Lile the SKS, the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, M14, M16, M4 as well as most AK pattern rifles have free floating firing pins. None are known for slam fire issues. Save your money, clean your shat.
Salt Factory: To be honest if you take care of your rifle and clean it properly you will not have slam fire issues

While the rewards are priceless, being in the "trenches" of motherhood is the majority of what we, as mothers experience on a day-to-day basis.

But what if morning sickness was so severe you couldn't move without puking, you couldn't eat or drink without vomiting it back up and it didn't stop at 12 weeks but went on for months and months? Then you wouldn't have morning sickness… you would have hyperemesis gravidarum (HG for short). HG is a serious and dangerous condition that a handful of unlucky pregnant women get and it needs treatment. But the problem is we don't know what the best treatments...

BlackRock's Fink a 'big believer' in Wells Fargo CEO
CHICAGO BlackRock Inc Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink said on Friday he is a "big believer" in Wells Fargo & Co Chief Executive Tim Sloan and that the scandal-hit bank is now on a good path.
Tiffany & Co cut its sales and earnings forecasts on Monday for the second straight quarter, citing a tough global economy and muted expectations for the holiday season, but the prospect of improving profit margins later in the year comforted investors.
Shares of the jeweler rose 7 percent to $62.62 on its expectations that pressure on margins from gold and diamond costs are at last easing this quarter. Tiffany said gross margin should start to rise again in the holiday quarter, its biggest of the year by far.
"It's the light at the end of the tunnel," Morningstar analyst Paul Swinand told Reuters.
Still, Tiffany is more exposed than other U.S. luxury names to a slowing of China's torrid economic growth, a pullback in Europe and a damping of higher-end jewelry sales at home.
Tiffany reduced its global net sales growth forecast by 1 percentage point to range of 6 percent to 7 percent for the year ending in January.
The company's growth was bound to be more modest than the 30 percent pace of a year earlier. Monday's forecast reduction, which follows one in May, came in large part because Tiffany now assumes sales growth during the holidays will be slower.
Tiffany lowered its full-year profit outlook to between $3.55 and $3.70 a share from $3.70 to $3.80, coming in line with Wall Street expectations of $3.64.
Despite the cautious forecasts, Tiffany is proceeding with the expansion plans that have supported its fast growth in recent years. The chain said it now expected to open 28 stores by the end of the year, including locations in Toronto and Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, up from the 24 initially planned.
The stock trades at about 16 times future earnings, below shares of some fellow luxury goods makers with heavy exposure to Europe and Asia. While U.S. handbag maker Coach Inc trades at 14.5 times future earnings, multiples are 20.3 for Ralph Lauren Corp and 18 for French luxury conglomerate LVMH.
Global sales at Tiffany rose 1.6 percent to $886.6 million in the second quarter ended on July 31.
Sales at stores open at least a year fell 1 percent, excluding the impact of currency fluctuations. Same-store sales dropped 5 percent in the Americas. They also declined 5 percent in the Asia Pacific region that includes China, which has been the fastest-growing market for Western luxury brands.
Sales in Europe only got a boost because of exchange rates favorable to Tiffany and because vacationing Asian tourists went shopping.
Sales at the chain's famous Fifth Avenue flagship store, a favorite of the millions of international tourists in New York, fell 9 percent. That location generates almost 10 percent of revenue.
Despite widespread fears that tourists would hold back when vacationing in the United States, the company said the drop in U.S. sales was entirely due to lower spending by locals. Last week, Signet Jewelers Ltd reported a modest 2.4 percent rise in same-store sales at its pricier Jared chain.
Tiffany said it had earned $91.8 million, or 72 cents per share, for the quarter, up from $90 million, or 69 cents per share, a year earlier.
The results missed Wall Street estimates by a penny a share. Analysts had been expecting a smaller profit because of rising precious metal costs.

The director Edward Hall and his actors so enjoyed working together on a production of Henry V at Newbury's Watermill Theatre, in 1997 that they decided to form an all-male Shakespeare collective. In Propeller Theatre Company, the actors all have a hand in creating the production, share the roles equally and are paid the same wage.
Hall and company have since performed The Comedy of Errors, Twelfth Night, Rose Rage (a two-play version of Henry VI), A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Winter's Tale. Now they are staging two comedies, The Taming of the Shrew and Twelfth Night, at the Old Vic before starting a world tour.
The actor Tony Bell is one of two actors who have remained with the company since its inception. In The Taming of the Shrew, he plays Tranio, the cheeky manservant to Lucentio; in Twelfth Night, he is the jester Feste.
As a Propeller regular - his favourite part was Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream in 2003 - what is it about the company's working methods that continues to attract him?
"We have creative input in the production as a whole, particularly because we play and develop the music ourselves," Bell says. "We are involved in costume design and choreography, and we're always on stage except for when we have to run off for a quick costume-change in the wings. We even share the dressing rooms. It is very much a team effort."
What qualities does a potential Propeller member need? "It's like creative anarchy because there are no rules. You need to be able to step forward with your own ideas and also to step back when necessary, because the director is not going to rule with an iron rod," he says.
"As a small-scale company, it can afford to make up its own rules as it goes along. We can change things on the hoof, which we do all the time. We are our own makers of the work."
