About Nagaland Board:
The NBSE was set up through an Act of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly and received the assent of the Governor on the 15th of November 1973. It started functioning from the 1st October 1974, and in March 1975, the Board held its first High School Leaving Certificate Examination at 6 centers, for 2008 candidates. In trying to emerge with her own identity, a series of workshops, seminars, training, study tour were organized. Subsequently, the state level curriculum committee held its first meeting on the 30th March 1978 which led to a series of workshops to bring out our independent curriculum. The new curriculum, shaped after the needs of the state, was approved by the Government on the 12th April 1979. Textbooks were written or selected in accordance with the newly framed curriculum were put into use for classes 9 and 10 from 1981 and 1982 respectively. In 1986, a significant development marked the HSLC examination process with the introduction of centrally coded answer books for centralized evaluation. In 1988, the existing HSLC course was semesters and bifurcated into two examinations, i.e. the Class 9 (Promotion) Examination and the HSLC examination. With the onset of semesterisation, the supplementary examination was done away with. From 1987 the system of conducting the supplementary examination in the middle of the year and immediately after the main examination was abolished.
The NBSE conducted the HSLC Examination 1988 on the new syllabus based on the national core curriculum.The first Class-9 (Promotion) examination was held in 1988 at all the recognized schools. Classes-8 and 9 examinations were decentralized where the Board sets and supplies the question papers and the schools evaluate and declare the results as per the criteria laid down. The 1994 batch of students of Class 8 and 9 were allotted registration numbers consequent upon their success at these examinations. The 1995 batch of students of Class 8 and 9 were issued pass certificates with registration numbers. This move made it easier for the Board to keep a track record of each student. The NBSE ( Amendment ) Act 1990 empowers the Board to conduct the higher secondary school leaving certificate examination under the three streams- science, arts, and commerce.

Chromecast 2 In-depth Review
March 29, 2016 | Video | No Comments|
The Chromecast (version 2) keeps the same simple concept as the original version; project media from your Android device (or Google Chrome web browser from a computer) to your TV. The Chromecast isn't exactly a media player itself, but rather a media bridge for your TV. Find out if it's worth the tiny price tag since it doesn't have any apps built inside it by watching the review video below.

Rainbow Magic Video Slot
Launched in 2017, Realistic Games' Rainbow Magic is one of the more basic slot machines you are likely to come across in the online casino world. The slot machine features just 3 reels and has been specifically designed for mobile casino and slot lovers. With its fantasy and lucky theme, there are toadstools, golden harps and pixies galore in this title, which offers up just 5 paylines. Players can stake bets which stem from a base minimum of 5p per spin, up to a capped maximum bet of £1,000 per spin, but nobody in their right mind would wager a grand on a slot as basic as this. Players landing non-progressive prizes can scoop up wins worth as much as 500x their total bet in all.
Special features
Shockingly, there is no wild symbol in this slot. Instead, players are going to have to rely on overlaying symbols to help them along with their wins. These symbols appear as magic coins, which can pop up on any symbol in the game but are more commonly found alongside moths.
Landing 3 or more symbols which magic coins on them will trigger a free spin bonus round in this slot, as well as pocket scattered prizes worth 4x their total bet.
Bonus features
There is nothing particularly impressive about the free game feature in Rainbow Magic, either. Players can pocket 10 free spins in total, with all winnings acquired in this bonus game met with 2x multipliers which can double the value of any winning combinations acquired. However, multipliers only count when symbols which feature magic coins on the second reel feature in winning combos.
Featuring no wild symbols makes Rainbow Magic a bit of a bust. Realistic Games doesn't have a great track record when it comes to developing "blow your away" types of slot machine games, so we shouldn't really be surprised that there is precious little on offer in their Rainbow Magic slot.

Shoulder pain can be quite debilitating. Think about everything the shoulders allow you to do during daily life. You can wash your hair, brush your teeth and feed yourself all because of these versatile joints. It is nearly impossible to do any of those activities without the use of your shoulders. So when shoulder pain starts, you might be very tempted to run to the doctor to get an injection. But do injections provide any better treatment than anti-inflammatory pills?
That question is important because injecting steroids into a joint like the shoulder comes with a variety of risks. Anytime a needle is puncturing the skin, there is a risk of infection. Sometimes the steroid medication can cause fluctuations in blood sugar especially in people with diabetes. Steroids also weaken tissues like muscles, tendons and bones; thus the number of joint injections is limited to only three or four per year. Keep all these risks in mind before racing to the doctor's office for a shot.
The alternative to getting a corticosteroid injection is to take anti-inflammatory pills. Of course taking pills can be risky too. Those that use blood-thinning medication really cannot take anti-inflammatory pills because that would increase the bleeding risk. These pills can also lead to stomach ulcers and kidney failure if taken in excess.
Both injections and pills have certain risks associated with them, so which one is really a better treatment for a painful shoulder? Over a four to six week period of time, both seem to provide an equal amount of pain relief and improvement of function. Although a shot has more of an immediate effect and can quickly extinguish the fire of inflammation, the long-term benefits do not seem to be superior to the benefits found with taking anti-inflammatory pills. In certain situations, an injection may be the best treatment. For example, if your shoulder pain is extreme and greatly debilitating, you may need to put the fire out fast with an injection. In other situations, pills might be better. If you are a diabetic and the shoulder pain is slowly building, then anti-inflammatory pills might be the best treatment to start with. Your doctor will be able to help guide your treatment decision. (1) (2) (3)
Before you run to the doctor to get a shot, first consider some home remedies for shoulder pain like the over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications, ice, and rest. If none of that is helping within a couple weeks, then you may need to talk to your doctor about whether or not an injection is right for you.

Kazakh Yurt
If you were in Kazakhstan, but did not see the white Kazakh yurt on the green meadows of jaylyau, you can not feel and enjoy the real life of Kazakhs and their culture. Yurt is one of the oldest and greatest inventions of Eurasian nomads. At all times Yurt was a practical and convenient, portable accommodation.
Kazakh yurt
The snow-white dome in the green foothill of jaylyau, fabulous play of carpets and tekemets, perfect prefabricated structure, which can be easily assembled or disassembled if needed, - traditional home of a nomad… is that - a legend or reality?
This original house, a traditional phenomenon of portable Kazakh houses had been evolving towards perfection for centuries. It has been recognized by researchers as "the most perfect type of portable shelters and impressed the travelers and merchants, ambassadors of foreign states and medieval historians. Many of them, left fanciful descriptions of felt tents, which amazed them with its comfort and splendid decorations.
Where Yurts can be found?
There are Yurt-Restaurants in some Kazakhstan cities that offer tourists wide range of meals from traditional Kazakh cuisine. More Yurts can be found in rural areas (shepherds usually live in Yurts) or in specially constructed ethno-villages, e.g. in Burabay (Borovoe), Almaty region, etc. Moreover, during many tours comfortable Yurts are offered as an overnight accommodation for a short stay of tourists or as a hotel for longer stays.
Construction of a Yurt
Yurt is a round-shaped, sophisticated construction with a dome. If explain its structure in
simple words, it consists of three main parts and many other smaller parts. Three main
parts include Shanyrak – top of the Yurt, Kerege – walls carcass and Uwyk – a carcass
part from Kerege to the Shanyrak. The carcass is usually covered with pieces of felt from
outside and decorated with carpets from inside.
It should be noted, that Shanyrak is extremely valuable for Kazakhs and is considered to
be a sacred symbol of family wellbeing and piece.
Yurt usually does not have rooms in it, and it was a common practice to have a separate
Yurt as a bedroom, separate one as a kitchen, guesthouse, etc as long as people could
afford that.
Kazakh Yurt - a sustainable and comfortable construction
Kazakh yurt is a product of traditional Kazakhstan culture based on the ecological balance
and sustainability, a product of a culture that does not seek to dominate and change the
nature, but seeks to learn its laws and follow them in a daily life. Perceiving the nature as a natural shelter, nomads created their house by the own laws of the nature.
A nomad made the Yurt easy for assembling and disassembling, and with the help of one camel and two horses the entire construction of the yurt and decorations of the interior are easily transported. Dynamism of the nomadic life is wholly reflected in the optimal comfort of Yurt's structure. It keeps the cool air inside during hot summer days, protects from cold piercing winds in winter and does not get wet from pouring autumn rains.
Kazakh Yurt and communion with nature and the universe
When speaking of the Kazakh yurt, we can confidently say that the dwelling was not only just thoroughly thought out to meet the needs of the nomadic way of life, but the principle of the yurt construction and decoration was a reflection of nomads' views on the world around them. Yurt brings a thoughtful and adapted principle of communion with nature, with flat Steppes and high mountains, alpine meadows and endless blue skies. Stay in a Yurt a couple of hours for a bowl of hot flavored tea or spend the night here and look through the half-open shanyrak, the cool light of distant stars will touch your face, and you will feel interesting, inexplicable feeling of comfortable security at home and at the same time a sense of infinite openness of the universe. This unusual way of life was probably dictated by ancestors of Kazakhs, not only because of the specifics of nomadic economy, but also from the need to feel themselves a part of a whole, to live in unison to the rhythms of the universe.
Yurt interior decorations
Connection to the nature and the universe is also reflected in the interior design of the Yurt. Flower patterns of tekemets (felt carpets), abstract, cosmogonic ornaments of baskurs (woven, patterned ribbons encircling the inner perimeter of the yurt), furniture intricately carved and inlaid, all these reflect the perception of the Kazakh nomads about the world structure and beauty among which they live. Almost all types of traditional craft of Kazakhs can be found in the interior decoration of the Yurt. Multi-coloured patterns of ornaments, rich texture and flexibility of wood-carvings, different type of embroideries, felt carpets, leather handiworks and metal items, thus creating a unique polyphony of colors and lines.

Holiday Outfits Are a Hit!
I wore one of the outfits from my post "Holiday outfits that are sure to create mistletoe anywhere you go" (the red pin skirt, black top, and dramatic necklace) on Christmas day and it was a hit! I topped it off with red lipstick and a low bun for an overall dramatic look. Take a look at how it turned out below, but based off of the positive reactions I think that it really holds true that you do not have to spend a lot of money to look like a million bucks! Happy Holiday season to all!

My first film SLR
Originally uploaded by gapey
So why did I buy it? I'm still wondering that myself. I guess mostly for something new. There are still a surprisingly large number of film users out there. My first film camera since going digital was a Holga. It was cheap and my Flickr Meetup group had a Holga day at Pike Place one day so I thought what the heck I'll give it a try. After four rolls of film I only got a few decent shots. What can you expect from a $30 camera? There are people that get some pretty good results out of them though. One thing I learned is to use at least 400 speed film and to be sure to tape the back because it is likely to fall off if you don't. There isn't much to those cameras. Only two settings to worry about.
My new cam on the other hand is an SLR with sliders and buttons and nobs all over. I would be totally lost on how to use the thing if I had bought it a year ago. It's really not all that different than a digital SLR. This camera in particular though only has aperature priority and manual modes. No shutter priority.
Mike talked me into using some slide film which I think I've only ever used on accident and didn't see any reason to use it. Well there's this thing called cross processing you can do with it which could give some interesting results. So we'll see what happens.
Yesterday the Seattle Flickr group had a meetup for film only cameras and I was surprised to see how large of a turnout we had. I think there were at least 30 people and it was a beautiful day. I actually bought this camera on the way to the meetup. It didn't take too long for me to figure out how to use it. The body itself was $89 and the lens was $49. I'm sure I could have found the camera for a lot cheaper on ebay but I needed it now and since I bought it at Kenmore Camera I knew it would be in good working condition and it also comes with a 60 Day warranty which I think is worth the extra money. I also got a free neck strap which I late found it says Canon on it. Though it's pretty discreet and you can't see it says Canon without looking really close as it's engraved into the leather.
I decided to stick with the aperature priority mode for my first roll of film. Once I get more comfortable with it I may go manual. I'm looking forward to some more fun with this camera.

-- Kansas Speedway on April 22, much earlier than before, and again in the fall playoffs Oct. 21, much later. The changes are to give that track time for a major repave.
-- Talladega, in effect, is giving its two dates to Kansas and moving its own Cup events to May 6th and Oct. 7th.
-- Dover moves back to June, after the May date yielded smaller crowds than typical.
-- With the Daytona 500 having been moved a week later, to Feb. 26, the tour's following two events, at Phoenix and Las Vegas likewise move a week later.
-- Taking Easter into account, Texas' spring race is moving to April 14th.
-- Kentucky Speedway's summer event will move to June 30th.
Specific race times were not announced. Nor is it clear when the Nationwide and Truck tour schedules will be released. Negotiations are apparently still on-going for NASCAR to return to Montreal with the Nationwide tour. And there is speculation that the Nationwide tour, which is losing events at Nashville Speedway, may add events at Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway.

Another boring start to the Chase is coming in 2012. Chicago and New Hampshire make you want to take a nap, or keep the channel on the NFL game of choice. As you've preached before, Mike, we need some better tracks to get things going in the Chase and get people interested. Those two tracks don't do that.
- NASCAR needs to swap the Bristol and Texas dates in the spring. Mid-March is too early to be going to Bristol. It's cold, and usually rainy. Swap those two dates and I think the crowd at Bristol would improve.
- If NASCAR wanted to really shake things up, then begin and END the season at Daytona. I know there is supposedly some deal in place with the town to have the race there in July, but they need something better than Homestead for the finale, and what better track to have the season ender at.
- The Cup Series needs to add an Iowa date soon. Would still like to see Gateway and Nashville have Cup races someday if Bruton will buy those tracks and resurrect them. They are just as worthy as Kansas and Chicago as far as racabilty. Would also like to see Rockingham get at least one date back, too. It's a unique track, and NASCAR needs more of these types of tracks rather than more Charlotte clones (Texas, Chicago, Kansas) on the Cup schedule.
- I read that the truck series may also go to Gresham Motorsports Park (formally Peach State Speedway) in Gresham, Georgia. I would love to see it. Hopefully NASCAR will get back to the Nationwide and Truck series being their own series instead of running them as companion events with the Cup races every week. The points system change was good for these series, but they now need to take it one step further and have more separate races so that the Cup guys aren't stealing the wins each week.

Haitians are buying nails to make initial repairs, searching out "tri-tri" – a powder of tiny dried fish used to season rice – and even getting haircuts: all of which means that, slowly, the economy is showing signs of life after being knocked out by the Jan. 12 earthquake.
"Business is coming back little by little, despite the damage in the neighborhood, I guess because we Haitians like to keep our hair cut," says Savien Franciscain, who is running both chairs at the tiny barber shop he operates in Port-au-Prince's heavily damaged center. "I reopened Sunday, and it's been pretty good ever since."
Across the capital, the indicators of a renascent economy are unmistakable: bustling street markets, reopened clothing shops, and lots of long lines – especially at cellphone providers, as customers seek to replace lost or damaged phones, and at remittance-receiving agencies and banks. After the temblor shut down the central bank and choked off the banking system, Haitians found themselves cash-starved.
Plans are in the works among Haitian government and international monetary officials and donor countries to get money circulating through the economy again. The country needs an infusion of cash to get moving, economists say, while the Haitian government is contemplating a stimulus program to jumpstart private-sector activity.
"In the short term, we have to get small business going again, and that means getting money in people's hands so they buy what the small businesses offer," says Kisner Pharel, a Harvard-trained Haitian economist. He says Haiti's central bank has done a good job of getting back on its feet, but what scares him are the country's banks.
"After this disaster, the massive destruction we've had, there are going to be a lot of what…Americans would call toxic assets," Mr. Pharel says. "The banks are going to be dealing with that while we need them to be lending and getting things moving again."
Open for business, but short on cash
Even Haiti's smallest merchants understand the importance of getting money in people's hands. Yiolene Aristyl operates a tiny vegetable and small-groceries "market" – actually a plot no larger than a square yard – on a busy thoroughfare leading into central Port-au-Prince.
"People don't have a lot of cash to buy things, and what they do have they are extra-careful with because they fear running out," she says, selling a couple of onions and some tri-tri to a picky shopper. Another problem is inflation. "Now I have to pay [$10] for what cost me [$2] before the event." (The "event" is how many Haitians choose to call the 7.3-magnitude earthquake that devastated the country).
Jean-Claude Berjelain is buying a one-pound sack of nails at a small hardware store in the capital's Javenat neighborhood, but he thinks the aftershocks that occasionally shake Port-au-Prince will discourage major repair and rebuilding for a while yet. "I'm going to nail down some metal sheets where part of my roof fell in, but nothing more than that," he says. "The earth keeps moving, moving."
But he says there is also an economic problem. "People just don't have any money," he says. "How can you expect things to get moving again if people have nothing to spend?"
Will foreign money help?
At the city's only surviving Domino's Pizza restaurant – there were three before the quake – owner Ronald Jaar says he figures he'll have to depend on the thousands of doctors, relief workers, and other foreigners who have flooded into the city to keep afloat.
"Our economy was already bad, but this means unemployment will be much higher,"says Mr. Jaar, who also owned the two destroyed Domino's – and had to let those employees go. "That's 35 jobs lost," he says.
Still, Jaar, a US-trained engineer, says he believes Haiti has the option to "turn this disaster into our chance. All the money that's going to be pouring in," he adds, "if it's well managed, can create a lot of jobs and, maybe even more important, a lot of new entrepreneurs with a new way of thinking.'
This theme of "opportunity out of the rubble" is gaining ground with some Haitians, and among foreign officials and in international business circles as well.
This week the international business and economic elite were to discuss Haiti investment opportunities at Davos, Switzerland – with Haiti advocate Bill Clinton in attendance. One idea is to create investment zones and lower business-creation hurdles to give what had been Haiti's nascent garment industry a second beginning.
Outside Port-au-Prince?
Another idea is to focus economic-development efforts outside of a heavily-congested Port-au-Prince, so that at least some of the hundreds of thousands of the city' residents who fled after the quake don't feel the economic need to return.
"We have an opportunity now to re-imagine this country in a way that could have never been accomplished politically," says economist Pharel.
Everyone agrees that Port-au-Prince was too crowded, he says, but those who have left will only stay where they are if the country's regions have the same or better amenities – jobs, schools, an airport – as the capital.
Pharel says Haiti's recent history of deep political divisions would suggest that a "unity of vision" won't be easy. But he says the quake presents Haitians with an opportunity to benefit from the world's focus and largesse – something that he says everyone knows won't last forever. With an international donors' conference for Haiti set for March in New York, he says Haitians have a little over a month to "come together and come up with a vision and a strategy" for their future.
"We have to treat this as something like our 9/11," Pharel says. "This has to shock us into doing things very differently."

Last year my word was Balance for the New Year. In some aspects, I did find some balance but is still evolving so this year is to develop. I had tried a schedule last year and it didn't seem to be successful but since I don't work like I used to, the concept of time was totally lost.
So it has been over three years since I worked full time up north and now need to schedule myself for time management, go figure!
I don't want my goals to be set in stone but more of an evolving guide. This is for my overall self, personal and professional (I believe I would still call it this).
- Working out daily
- Practice my Spanish daily
- Work on my Crafting N Dabling (this crosses both areas in my life)
- Do some local trips and planning for one larger vacation
- Blogging daily during the week, this is not necessarily posting daily but working on the blogs, projects,
enhanncingand improving the site, etc.
- Work on my Crafting N Dabling
- I would like to do a 30 day of wineries for my blog
- Maybe create some classes online from my Crafts-N-Dabs
I have developed my plans for the year 2019 and as you may have noticed I'm not really discussing resolutions. I really believe goals are more realistic than resolutions, so let the year begin and see how it evolves as the year progresses!

The Euro –the common currency of 19 EU member states- has been the main pillar to a deeper integration in terms of easier transactions, easier trade and more effective development and growth throughout the Eurozone. However since the crisis of 2008 Eurozone has been stacked. Even though in January 2017 there were some encouraging indicators for the Eurozone as a whole; the unemployment has fallen below 10% for the first time since 2009 and the inflation has reached 1.8%. This average does not represent the whole reality. Unfortunately, as it always did.
The common currency is the last step of the Economic & Monetary Union (EMU) which was established in 1999 following the Amsterdam Treaty establishes the completion of the EMU as a formal objective and sets a number of economic convergence criteria, concerning the inflation rate, public finances, interest rates and exchange rate stability. Members of the EMU are both the Eurozone countries and the non-Euro EU countries.
Initially the Euro has been created in order to boost economic integration and partnership between the Euro user countries, to strengthen the Eurozone economies against the pressure of the global money markets and boost growth and development of each economy of its members. And those first steps have been the causes that drove the Eurozone into a spiral of deflation and zero growth. Eurozone has been aiming at integration and partnership. However there was never an effective centralized planning or even a centralized economic governing. Eurogroup as a non official body of the Union has failed in many ways to unite the member the states and make them truly converge. Unfortunately Eurogroup has showed up to take up responsibilities when the crisis had already expanded enough to be irreversible. Even now Eurogroup is not a forum to help the Eurozone to overcome the crisis a whole but is a bargain place where the leverage of the national interests triggers self distractive approaches of the problem.
The rescue programmes that have been established are ad-hoc, different for each country but in the same time not tailored for each case and not centralized coordinated. There is no Eurozone-wide rescue programme and this is the greatest weakness of the Euro. It is a weakness towards the global markets. In a potential currency war Euro the ECB is not likely to react that fast due to collision of interests of the Eurozone members.
In the first years of the common currency use between 2001 and 2007 the countries have taken advantage of the pro-cyclical character of the Euro. This pro-cyclical character had helped the Eurozone countries to improve their economic indicators and their economies to grow. The ECB has been strict with the deflation percentage of 2% to be kept as a common economic policy by the states but in the same time the ECB had not had the same strict and meticulous attitude towards the states whose percentage of debt in comparison with the GDP was above 60%. This has been almost fatal.
However the Eurozone and the members states have taken this situation for granted and did not focus on long-term measures and policies that would have prevent the situation we are experiencing today. When the money cycle has been interrupted by the global financial crisis in 2008 Eurozone and the EU have not been ready to face the crisis that occurred. After 2008 the pro-cyclical character of the Euro has been reversed from boosting the economies to sinking them deeper than they would be if there was no Euro. The pro-cyclical character extends the cycle of an economy further than it would be either upwards either downwards. No establishment of long-term measures and investments but also lack of deeper cooperation has led us here.
But nothing seems to be getting towards the solution but Eurozone is going the exact opposite direction. Populist politicians throughout Europe are unable to discuss any realistic plan for Eurozone to overcome this standstill. And it is not just about a currency. It's about the last stage of the economic integration of the whole European Union. And it's being questioned. By the angry people and the unskilled politicians. And the people get more and more angry because of the unskilled politicians. And the unskilled politicians are trying to use populism as a painkiller to the damage they caused initially. Greece, Italy, France, Finland are only some of the countries where not only the Eurozone but the European idea as a whole is collapsing piece by piece.

Back in 2008 when I started blogging for BP3, I chose WordPress as the platform. At the time I believe its market share was single digits in terms of running websites, and we only used it for the blog portion of our site - the rest was static HTML.?
Fast forward to 2010, we revamped the site with a full-blown WordPress treatment to run the whole site, as I'd seen others do.? We didn't stop there though, we also moved to WP Engine to host our site, which has made it faster, more stable, and easier to support.? We revamped our site yet again in 2015, just in time for BPMCAMP 2015, again with WordPress, which just keeps getting better.
Thanks to Daring Fireball, I see that WordPress now runs 25% of the sites on the Internet, which is truly an amazing growth story.?
It's nice to pick the right platform the first time and ride the wave.? Even better to pick the right platform partner (in WP Engine) to make it a great customer experience for us at BP3.? The analogy to the BPM business shouldn't be hard to see: picking the right BPM software vendor, but even better to pick the right BPM partner in BP3, to make that experience really first rate.

The 0xc0000076 error is brought on by a deficiency of a "library" on Windows, generally Visual C++, DirectX or equivalent.
The error demonstrates when you are attempting to operate a "substantial" software this sort of as a match or some type of graphics software. It is brought on because the software will require an aspect from the library, which is both not mounted or not available on your program.
The error will generally present as "0xc0000076" or far more commonly "0xc000007b" error, cited immediately after the software tries to load.
The way to remedy this problem is to be certain that you have the correct library / dependencies expected by the software to operate. It should really take care of 90% of the troubles with the error.
Lead to
The common error concept for the 0xc0000076 error is as follows:
The software unsuccessful to initialize effectively (0xc0000076)
The critical to fixing this is to fully grasp that every software on Windows necessitates a series of "libraries" or "dependencies" to assist it operate.
These libraries are stored on the challenging generate as DLL files, programs this sort of as DirectX and "redistributable" deals this sort of as Visual C++. While Microsoft distributes most of the most common libraries, there are a selection provided by other firms also.
The base line of the 0xc0000076 error is that your program is unable to load the dependencies expected to operate the software.
Alternative Techniques
1. Reinstall Visual C++
Visual C++ is generally the perpetrator right here. It is a collection of packages distributed by Microsoft to assist greatly enhance the operation of Windows.
Unfortunately, like a lot of things "Microsoft", they have overcomplicated it – making VC++ a thoroughly 3rd bash down load and splitting up amongst distinctive variations, each and every of which has to be downloaded in purchase to offer the expected operation.
Unfortunately, it is frequently the scenario that even if the correct VC++ is mounted, it turns into broken or corrupted, preventing programs from looking at it appropriately.
The initially stage to fixing the 0xc0000076 error, therefore, is to be certain you've mounted the latest variations of the expected VC++ redistributable deals…
- In Windows seven, click on to "Begin" > "Manage Panel" > "Incorporate / Get rid of Applications"
- In Windows 10, right-click on to "Begin" / "Windows" button > select "Applications and Capabilities"
- From the list that appears, select any variations of "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable", and Take note DOWN their 12 months selection (this is crucial)
- Right after noting down the many years, you should really then right-click each and every of the listings and select "Uninstall"
- Right after uninstalling them, restart your Computer
- Right after restart, you may will need to look through to Google and seem for "Microsoft latest visual C++ deals"
- For each and every of the "many years" that you famous down in advance of, down load the correct down load and put in.
A rapid notice on this subject – when you down load each and every VC++ bundle, you may be asked no matter whether you want the "x64" or "x86" edition. This corresponds to the "architecture" of your program.If you're not positive which edition of Windows you have, you will need to do the subsequent:
- Push "Windows" + "R" keys on your keyboard
- In the "Run" dialogue, variety "dxdiag" and press "Enter"
- When DXDiag demonstrates, seem for the "Functioning Process" listing
- Take notice of no matter whether it truly is sixty four-little bit or 32-little bit – sixty four-little bit is x64 and 32-little bit is x86
- From there, you should really put in the many VC++ deals and then let it operate.
two. Update DirectXNext, you will need to update DirectX.
DirectX is a main aspect of Windows which enables your program to operate 3D graphics and so on.
Unfortunately, thanks to a lot of online games and so on putting their own variations of DirectX files on to your program, it is frequently the scenario that programs will present a substantial selection of problems and so on with it.
If this is the scenario, you may want to put in the "update" to DirectX which should really swap any of the potentially broken files it might have…
- Click on to "Google" and seem for "DirectX Obtain" – click the initially link
- Click on the orange "Obtain" button
- Click "No many thanks and carry on"
- Help you save the file to your challenging generate
- Open up the software and click by way of the procedure (make positive you never settle for the "Bing Bar" scamware)
- Permit it put in the files expected to update DirectX
- Restart your Computer
Once your Computer has restarted, you should really proceed to the following stage.3. Reinstall.Net
.Net is equivalent to the above two dependencies, in that it offers a substantial selection of attributes, files and configurations expected to get Windows functioning effectively.
Unfortunately, like the other people, it can turn out to be broken or corrupted. If this is the scenario, you may want to update it to the latest edition, which can be accomplished with the subsequent:
- In Windows seven, click on to "Begin" > select "Manage Panel" > "Incorporate / Get rid of Applications"
- In Windows 10, right-click on to "Begin" / "Windows" button > select "Applications and Capabilities"
- From the dialogue that demonstrates, click on "Turn Windows attributes on or off" – Uncheck ".Net 3.5" and ".Net four.6.two" and then click "Ok"
- Permit the uninstall procedure happen & restart your Computer
- Right after restart, you may want to seem on Google for ".web net installer"
- Click the orange "Obtain" button and then proceed to put in the bundle.
This will swap any of the.Net framework files which might be broken or corrupted on the program. This will basically reset the greater part of dependencies on your program which *could* be broken.More to this, you may also want to be certain any "registry" problems are cleaned out on your Computer…
four. Clean up Out Registry Problems
Registry problems are brought on when the Windows "registry" turns into broken or corrupted.
The registry is a central database which Windows takes advantage of to store all the configurations and selections your program necessitates to operate.
This database is liable for every little thing from your desktop wallpaper to consumer avatar. Unfortunately, it can turn out to be broken or corrupted – preventing your Computer from being equipped to go through the configurations it necessitates.
To correct this, you may be best cleaning it out with a "registry cleaner":
- Obtain a trusted registry cleaner software (I only suggest CCleaner in 2018 which is offered from "Piriform" – just Google "CCleaner Obtain")
- Install the software and load it up
- Permit it scan the registry of your program (other pieces like Junk Documents never make a difference so a lot)
- Right after the scan, clean / get rid of any of the issues it identified
- Restart your Computer
This not only makes sure you're equipped to correct any of the possible issues that your computer might have, but it also makes sure that you're equipped to operate the packages properly.5. Clean up Out Malware & Reinstall Graphics Driver
If the above methods never get the job done, the following is to reinstall your system's graphics driver (yes, this is a legitimate bring about of the error).
To do this, you may want to down load "DDU" (Exhibit Driver Uninstaller) from Guru3D. This removes **all** of the graphics driver computer software that your program will have mounted…
- Click on to the DDU down load website page: (you may have to Google "DDU Obtain")
- Help you save the file to your program
- Restart your Computer into "Protected Manner"
To do this, there are various techniques dependent on which edition of Windows you're jogging:
- In Windows seven, click on "Begin" > "Restart"
- When your program restarts, press F8 continuously on the keyboard in advance of just about anything starts off to load
- This will carry up the "Superior Boot Alternatives" menu from which you will need to select "Protected Manner"
- In Windows 10, click on "Begin" / "Windows" button (base still left corner)
- Decide on the "Power" button – Holding Shift, press "Restart"
- This will carry up the blue "Restoration Setting" screen.
- From right here, choose "Troubleshoot" > "Superior Alternatives" > "Startup Settings" > "Restart"
- When the program reboots, it will load the "Superior Boot Alternatives" screen from which you may be equipped to choose "Protected Manner" From right here, you may enter "Protected Manner".
- You will need to click on to the DDU software you downloaded and then let it operate.
- You can want to choose "Clean up and Restart (Encouraged)".
This will completely get rid of the graphics driver, which *should really* remedy any remaining occurrences of the error. Permit the program restart into "ordinary" method and then test loading the software once again.Once in "ordinary" method, you may have to get the graphics driver mounted once again. In Windows 10, this will generally be accomplished mechanically. The stage is that if you have some personalized driver, it might be creating some type of conflicts, which will be resolved by absolutely eliminating it with DDU.
If the above won't get the job done, you might have a further situation inside Windows.
Aside from making use of a far more powerful error cleaner software, you might benefit from looking for far more precise assistance. To do this, I would advocate both seeing a fix male (who'll have *accurately* the same suggestions as me), or inquiring online.
There are many solutions which can do this. These are no cost and basically give you the capacity to receive assistance individual to your error/problem without having to wait around for the generic support offered by most out-of-date "tech support" solutions.

|The Row, Camp Jaha
The arching ring of Alpha Station rises high above this still-developing shantytown. Living quarters, workshops, and storage have been built out of panels from the uninhabitable parts of Alpha Station. They run down on either side of a pierced-metal plank roadway, ending in a metal-topped dirt ramp leading up to an airlock entrance to Alpha Station. A large section of Alpha Station's hull has been removed to open up what used to be a work-bay, and has now been turned into a garage for the Ark's few rovers.
A metal fence surrounds the camp, with an open space and then an electrified wire fence beyond that. Outside of the wire fence is a rolling meadow, a peaceful lake, a little stream, and then the lush forests of Trikru lands.
|Day 038
Lights are beginning to come on around Camp Jaha as darkness descends on the lakeside clearing. It's probably still notable to Trikru in the area, but for Skaikru, lamps are just part of life. What hasn't been part of life previously are the mosquitoes rising off the lake. Lucian Grey is discussing something on a dataslate with another Guard when his attention begins to get distracted. He looks up, down, left, his eyes following a certain particular buzzing nuisance, and he hands off the dataslate distractedly, flattening out one palm… WHACK, straight on his left shoulder. And his face contorts with pain, "Shitnuggets!" He clasps his sling-bound left arm in his right hand, clamping down on any further cursing, and gives the now-chuckling Guard a scowl and a gesture of 'yeah, we're done.' The ex-Delinquent begins to meander down the Row toward the gate, rubbing at his left arm.
There is the most delightful table of delightful delicious toys upon it. Sure, some people call them toys. Aeron (if she talked) would call them evidence. The tiny redhead is completely fascinated with the saw. One of those on the job might have made a bad decision to leave her near them. At the sound of the guards, Aeron freezes. Her green eyes move towards the guard with Grey as her hands start to sneak behind her back. Guilt colors her features as she watches Grey move and her mouth opens. It's almost like she's going to warn right before the whack hits. Aeron's face is flushed with shock as her hands fly towards her mouth, only it is not horror she is holding in. As her fingers try diligently to hold back the tide, it rises up and bubbles over. Her giggling can be heard as she watches the two.
Grey looks up at the giggling, the harsh overhead lights of the Row casting deep shadows over his features, so that when he scowls, his eyes disappear, and his brows and cheekbones stand out in sharp relief. "What the hell's so funny, man? That hurt…" It's more in the tone of 'grumbling' than anything really aggressive. It's actually the other's size that identifies her, followed by her red hair, "Aeron, yeah?" Because even if the jailbirds didn't know one another before they hit the Ground, every one of the Delinquents is at least passingly recognizable now.
Aeron looks up at him with those big green eyes of his and then wipes her hand across her mouth. She takes the smile and the laughter right with it, but her eyes are still laughing. She steps up a bit closer to him and nods her head when he says her name. Aeron's right hand comes up to point to his shoulder as her head tilts to the side in a questioning angle. Then she will attempt to reach out, if allowed, to pat closer to his elbow. It's a there-there sort of thing.
Grey rolls his eyes at the wiping away of the smile, the tipping back of his head letting the light shine over his features more evenly and illuminate the gesture. The questioning gesture causes him to shake his head, pointing to the bandage sticking out from under the left sleeve of his t-shirt, "Naw, it's my arm. Reaper tried to chop it off for a," he pauses a moment as she reaches out to pat him on the arm, swaying back unconsciously a bit before he finishes, "…snack. Bastard's dead now though, and I just hurt like hell when somethin' jostles my arm. Don't know who's got it worse."
Aeron withdraws her hand back and seems to make Grey her focus when he talks. She nods her red head at him in consideration. The word 'Reaper' causes her to tense and look around a bit nervously. Even murderkittens fear something. There is a lowering of her brows before she indicates his shoulder again and then points to her own eyes. However, she nods and then her eyes light up. Aeron smiles at him sweetly and then tries to get him over to the death table.
"Naw, they're not likely to come this far. Guard's back out on patrol," After being pulled in tight around the camp after three of their number were found dead in a tree nearby, "and the Trikru've got patrols between here and the Reaper lands too." Grey frowns as he tries to puzzle out the gestures, "Uhh…" Finally something clicks, even as he's following her over to the tools, "You wanna take a look at it? Naw, Mac," one of the MedTechs, "Stitched it up. Says I'm supposed to keep the bandage on until it's time to change the whole thing."
Aeron listens to him and there is a look of recognition on her features at Mac's name. It is as if everything she thinks and feels plays across those features of hers. There is a longing look towards his arm as her lower lip pouts out at him for telling her no. She tries her best to look heartbroken and pathetic, but then there are tools. Aeron smiles again and picks up one of the datapads to hand over to him. It's almost thrown into his hands in fact, in her excitement. It's the design for the forge. She eagerly points where the others are working. Her hands are drawn together under her chin and she bounces on her toes. One can almost hear the squee that she mimes out.
<FS3> Grey rolls Finesse+Finesse-3: Good Success. (8 7 3 7 6)
Grey shrugs his right shoulder at the heartbroken look, "Sorry. Doc's orders. I already piss them off enough by gettin' out of bed early — " And then a dataslate is being tossed his way, and he tries to catch it off-balance and one-handed. The 'slate is bobbled up in the air once, and then he snags it, looking a little relieved and then spinning it around to study the screen, "What's this…?" An engineer, Lucian Grey is definitely not. "Uh… building of some sort… fires? Heating?" And then he blinks, "Oh! Jumar's forge. He roped you into that too, eh?"
Aeron watches him bob it and then watches as he catches it. There is a worrisome look to her features for a moment. She'd be right off that team if she broke the how to book. Then she shakes her head at each of his comments. When he says fire, she nods her head rapidly and tries to encourage him to go with that. He's so close. And then he gets it. There is a happy noise from her as she bounces in congrats to that. When he asks about getting roped in, she nods her head. Then she points to the tools. All the wonderful tools. That surely explains everything.
It's just when Grey's not expecting it that he's clumsy like that, apparently. He spins the dataslate on the palm of his hand, then offers it back out to Aeron, "Good. Dunno what people'll wanna use it for, but I'm sure all'a you gearheads have dozens of things you want to make with it. Wonder if the Guard'll have to start learning to use swords. I mean, eventually, we won't be able to recharge the shock baton batteries anymore…" okay, now Grey's off on his own tangent, and he blinks, looking down at the collection of tools, "Oh, hey, yeah. I bet that's a whole lot better'n a dropship-metal knife, a big rock, and some vines."
Aeron listens to the tangent and seems mildly sad when it ends. She sits in one of the chairs and pats the other one for him to join her. The mention of the difference in tools gets a quick smile and a nod of her head. Aeron lifts her left hand and folds her fingers towards her palm. It allows her fingers to touch her thumb and she opens the 'mouth' and closes it again. Hand puppets rock! IF only she had socks. Then she stops and points to him. That's right Guard. Figure out what she's saying. It's like a game of charades without a winner.
Grey starts to turn away to head back out toward the gate, but then she offers one of the chairs, hesitating for a minute and glancing out toward the gate again. Then he shrugs his right shoulder again and settles down on the edge of the chair, keeping the makeshift blade at his back away from the back of the chair. It's an oddity to have to worry about that again. The mummer's show causes him to frown in thought, "Uh… Talking? You want me to keep talking?" He seems a little surprised by that, surprised and probably a little confused too.
Aeron claps her hands excitedly when he 'gets' it. She nods her head to that and then smiles. She points at him before doing the talking gesture. Aeron settles in the chair and swings her feet, since they don't reach the ground. Then she focuses all the attention of her green eyes on him. It's clear she's waiting for him to talk more.
"Well hell, I dunno what you want me to talk about." Grey brings one hand up to his mouth, nibbling on the nail of his index finger a moment before he continues, "Mostly I'm just killin' time until I can get back out there and get to trackin' down a way in to get our people out of the Mountain." He snorts then, "Man… how goddamned horrible would it have been if we'd actually dropped right on Mount Weather like planned?"
Aeron nods her head solemnly to that and then points to herself and then out there. She points to him and the ground and then back to herself and puts her finger to her lips. It's almost like she's asking him for something or about something. Then she goes back to the what to talk about. That one is easy. She gives him a soft smile and points to him. To talk about himself.
Once more, Grey finds himself puzzling over Aeron's gestures, "You know, this'd be a whole lot easier if you'd just talk, Aeron." Still, he makes the attempt, "Uh… If you were out there, and I was in here, you'd be real quiet?" He shakes his head, "No, that ain't right. Oh… yeah. No, I'm sure you won't have to go out there. That's what the Guard's for, and nutters like Asher. Make sure y'all can stick around here and everything'll be quiet." Yeah, that's not it either, but he's pretty convinced it is. "And me? There ain't so much to tell. Just tryin' to settle in to bein' a Guard again." Well, he was only a Cadet before, but close enough, right? "And workin' on gettin' our people back."
Aeron sighs and puts her head back to look up at the sky. When you choose to be mute, conversations are hard. She points to herself and then hops out of the chair. Her hand extends towards outside before dropping down to her knees before him. That could be sexy if they were different people. Then she attempts to examine the ground as if she's finding something in it. Then moves a little further off and does the same. Her eyes lift to him and then she points to him and then to her and then to the ground.
Grey follows the pantomime, and then his eyebrows lift up, "Oh. You want to go out there with us? Lookin' for our people? And you figure you can be quiet enough to help out?" He's still going back to the original gestures that he missed out on, although colored by the new ones. A light chuckle twists one corner of his lips into a crooked grin, "Well, not talkin' certainly helps with bein' quiet, doesn't it? It ain't exactly safe out there, and they still ain't lettin' anyone but Guard and a few of the militia carry rifles. You sure you're up to it if we run into trouble?"
Aeron gives him a look to that. A look. She points to herself and then slices her hand across her throat. This causes her to tilt her head and loll her tongue out. Yeah. Nothing creepy about that. Then she straightens with an all too gleeful expression on her face. She nods and then poses with her hands on her hips in the 'victorious' stance. Aeron then hops back over to curl back into the chair next to Grey's.
"Yeah, you're all sorts of badass." Grey chuckles softly, then shrugs, admitting, "you survived the Dropship Camp, that makes you some sorta badass, but we got no idea what's gonna be up there. Could be Reapers," Grey gives a little shiver at that, now that he's sitting down and not really posturing, "And they really ain't the sort of folks you wanna run into on a bright summer's day, let alone at night in the woods. Killin' someone quiet-like ain't the same as goin' toe to toe with someone the size of Stone." That would be the six-foot-eight ex-Cadet who was with the Dropship. So he's exaggerating the size of the average Reaper…
Aeron nods solemnly as if this is a true problem. Then she points to his knees and the saw. Her smile curves up as she takes her hands far apart and brings them closer together. However, the thought of reapers does make her pale a little bit more though. She outside a bit more in a thoughtful gesture and then looks back towards him. Her hands fold together with her palms touching. It's the classic 'prayer' symbol or the 'please' symbol.
"You think they're gonna cut me down to size? Or are you gonna try to do it?" Grey chuckles at both thoughts, for all that he's gone from zero scars in his life to a dozen or more in just over a month on the Ground. He leans back in his chair in thought, only to realize that he should have thought about the knife at his back, shifting to make it and his left shoulder more comfortable. "You know you'll have to be willin' and able to talk if you want to go out into the field, right? I mean, how you gonna let us know if you see somethin' if you can't say somethin'?"
Aeron shakes her head at him and points for those out THERE. Then she looks back at him and grins. It's conveys a 'I could if I wanted' cocksure smile. Then she holds up her hands and shakes them. This is in answer to how she would communicate. There is a smile as she pulls up her knees to put her chin upon them. Although a look of concern when he shifts a bit. Then she point to him and does the 'talk' sign again.
Grey shakes his head at the waving of the hands, "Hand signals are all well and good, but not so good for gettin' someone's attention." And then he's being prompted again, and he shrugs his right shoulder, and touches his back, "Naw, it's nothin'. Just a combination of sittin' on my knife," now there's an innuendo waiting to happen, "my shoulder," he gestures up to his left shoulder, "my side," his right side, around his floating ribs, "and my arm," he gestures to his left bicep where the bandage is visible. "Just not much comfortable. I think I'm gettin' used to the dull ache all the time, it's just the sharp twinges that really get me."
Aeron lowers her brows a bit to that as he lists off the injuries. Her eyes track and trail his movements as if she's mentally making a list of all of them to use and know about. Her eyes slide down his form and it could be sexy, except it's not. Then she smiles and reaches out before remembering. So her hand comes to sit next to his without touching it. There is a breath pulled into her lungs and then released. She points to him and then points to the sky. Her hand does that 'talk' sign again.
The hand close to his own, that's not quite the same intrusion into his personal bubble… and so Grey doesn't even seem to notice it. He follows her gesture up toward the sky, grunting softly, "Up there sucked ass. Plain and simple. I mean, spendin' time with my dad was fine, and learnin' to be a guard, but my bitch-mom," there's real pain there, not just teenager grumpiness, "did her level best to tear everythin' we made down." His father, however, was also a rather infamous Guard sergeant, known for his… liberal use of corporeal punishment. "Then the 'Box, and everyone after me 'cause I was an ex-C or 'cause I was a Grey. Shit's better down here, even with all the pain and shit."
Compassion fills her eyes for a few moments to that as she nods her head. Aeron turns her head to look up at the sky for a few moments. There are a ton of emotions that cross her face. There is sadness, regret, hope and something that she quickly hides away before it can be given a name. She indicates his guard uniform and then makes a happy face, but her head it tilted in a question. Those eyes are a pale, almost translucent green currently as she studies his mannerisms.
Grey snorts softly, "Screw that. Life's good here. It's hard, and people need to damned well stop takin' our people away, but I got a place here, and people. No need to feel sorry for me. And yeah, I finally got to be a Guard down here." And then he upnods across to the smaller teen sitting alongside him, "How about you? Up there better, or down here?"
Aeron frowns at that question as she seems to consider it. There is a soft smile and she puts her hand over her heart and points to the sky. It's a bit bittersweet across her features. Then she she shakes her head and runs her hand across her throat. Aeron shrugs her shoulders just a bit and then points to the ground. Down here is apparently her choice for now. Her eyes meet his before she indicates the air, the sky and the area around them.
Grey narrows his eyes as he works to follow the signs, "Your heart's up there, but it got uh… killed? Down here's better, 'cause everything's so free, and open and shit?" Okay, so the last part may have been his own addition. Nodding his apparent agreement, he adds, "An' let me tell you, an actual bath is damned amazing. The Trikru got these rooms where they all bathe, and the one in Tondc, it's got giant tubs that they fill with hot water. Soakin' in hot water, that's somethin' I never figured I'd do."
Aeron stares at him. She will apologize in her own way in a moment for her next actions. She grabs his hand and then looks a little excited. She points to him and then her and then out. Surely he'll go there with her. She has this hopeful expression that seems to light up her entire face as she bats her lashes and looks to be a step above begging.
Grey laughs easily at her enthusiasm, only tensing a little as she grabs his hand, "I think it's a bit of a long walk this time of night, Aeron. It'd be like… damn near dawn before you got there." He nods out to the firelight from the Trikru camp outside the camp's fencing, "And I got business out there that needs dealin' with before anything fun." There's something grim about his demeanor and voice at that statement, the Guardsman squaring his shoulders even if the motion causes him to wince slightly. "Once everything calms down, I'm sure you could get someone to take you over there… or you could avoid the whole 'everyone's in there nude together,' part," oh, didn't he mention that part? "and just put somethin' together here with a heating coil and a big tub of some sort. Got plenty of water for once."
Aeron considers his words for a moment and the grim expression. She shakes her head and points to him and then her in regards to the sacred place of bathing. She'll worry about all the other people later. It's a fucking bath. The hand that has shifts to attempt to wrap her pinky finger around his as she maintains a steady look on his eyes.
Grey rolls his eyes, but it's with a grin on his face, "Fine, fine…" He curls the rest of his fingers, allowing for a pinky-lock for a moment, "When all this is over and we've got a peace with the Trikru, if no one's put a hot tub," he says it as two distinct words, two different ideas, "together here, I'll take you out to Tondc and show you the bathhouse." He chuckles softly, shaking his head, "I'm serious about the everybody's in there naked thing though. Freaked me out a bit."
Aeron nods her head. That also means he has to return for his little 'business' out there. She brings her pinky with his in sort of a hand shake.. pinky shake? on it. Aeron also respects his space by drawing her hand back. There is a smirk across her features as she indicates her form and then fluffs her hair. It's a feigned display of perfect vanity.
"Yeah, I know how to keep my eyes to myself. Some of those Trikru dudes…" Grey snorts, then chuckles, "Naw. They just don't care. It's just washin'. Well, usually." And then Grey's adjusting his arm in its sling and nibbling at another fingernail as he looks out at the camp, "Just a shock, is all. Really, they couldn't care less."
Aeron considers the Trikru dudes checking her out. Then she reaches out to attempt to draw his hand from his mouth and smiles beautifully. She points at him and then shadow boxes. That's right. He's the designated protector of people checking her out too much now. There is a soft giggle though as she moves to sit back more in her chair.
Grey draws his head back in surprise as her hand gets so far into his personal bubble, then snorts, "Yeah yeah. Any of them try to grab you, then I step in. You go into a Trikru bathhouse, you're askin' for any eyein' you get." Reaching behind him, he draws out the dropship shard knife from the small of his back, turning it over and over in his hands, "Tell you what. You wanna hold onto this while I'm out there? What I'm doin', ain't no call for me to be armed, even with somethin' as little as this."
Aeron looks at the offered shard knife. Her brows lower just a bit to this as she tentatively reaches out her hand for it. Those green eyes get a little manic light in them that is hard to read. It's right there. It's right in front of her. Precious. Her fingers will attempt to wrap around it as she nods her head a bit and draws it close to her chest. Then she holds up her hand as she curls in her thumb to show the rest to him. Four fingers up. Then she points to him again. They are sitting in the chairs by the table that Jumar was at with her at some point.
*HHHHHHHHHSSSSTTTT* The sound goes through the air like a whip, and it's coming from what's constructed of the forge so far. It doesn't last long, but the noise *and* the light are easily heard and seen. Sounds like a buzz saw and a welder were both used at once. Grey and Aeron can easily tell it's on the other side of what's been built so far. Jumar pops out of where it came from in his welding mask… and promptly lifts it with a big old grin, "sorry, I had to handle a modification to the foundation before the whole section collapsed." …. and then he ducks back over.
Grey hands the knife over without any hesitation or question, "Four? Me? Oh, yeah. Hold onto it for me. I'll pick it up again when I get back. Shouldn't take that long." And then he pushes himself out of his chair with his one good arm, tensing at the lash of noise and squinting over his shoulder at it, then relaxing a bit as Jumar comes out from behind the building, "Well, yeah, suppose that'd be pretty damn bad. Don't know how useful a forge is if it falls on our head." A chuckle lifts to his lips alongside the words, and he shakes his head.
Aeron nods her head towards Grey and waves her fingers at him. Then she turns towards the noise and Jumar. There is an owlish wide eyed look and then a blink. Aeron puts her thumb up and cants her head questioningly towards him. Then she points towards Grey as if to ask if Jumar knows him.
For his part, Jumar didn't notice Aeron's request, seeing as Jumar is back to work back there. The noise isn't nearly as bad as it was, but there's definite movement and noise… but at least he isn't waking up the whole damned camp. "Concussions tend to be bad when you're shaping metal. Who knew?" The smartass amusedly replies, "Broken bones tend to be bad too." He's dryly musing at this point. *POP* Something is… something back there. "Yep. There's the problem."
Grey lifts his right hand in a wave to Aeron, "Fancy that, man." The chuckled response apparently is for Jumar, and then he's headed off toward the gate in the fence and the Trikru camp beyond it.
Aeron tips her head to watch Grey and then Jumar. There is a smile for both, but then she does what she does best. She takes her blade and blends into the shadows. Sure, what is left behind is a manic almost Cheshire smile.
