Dismay As Putney Hospital Plans Abandoned
Edward Lister criticises local NHS chiefs over the long–running hospital issue
Since the hospital closed in 1998, around £3 million has been spent by the PCT on security, maintaining the building and engaging consultants and architects to draw up redevelopment plans.
The latest scheme, which was granted planning permission in 2006, would have seen the site redeveloped to provide new accommodation for three local GP practices, a café, pharmacy and facilities for health visitors, district nurses, chiropodists and other clinics.
But at yesterday's board meeting it was decided that as a result of funding problems within the NHS in London , coupled with the fall in property prices, the redevelopment plans were to be shelved.
The PCT has now agreed to keep the hospital mothballed until they are able to secure new accommodation elsewhere in Putney to house the three GP practices. Once this has been done, they are expected to sell the site to developers.
Reacting to the news
"The real underlying story here is that the serious financial problems facing the NHS in London mean that even if the new clinics and GP practices were built - there is no money to run the services there. What is likely to happen now is that the PCT will sell the whole site to property developers. Unfortunately all the money raised from this sale will almost certainly end up in the Treasury's coffers and none of it will be available to improve the borough's healthcare facilities.
"It is also extremely unlikely that any of the cash generated from the sale will be available to reimburse the £3 million that local NHS bosses have already spent on getting where they are now. What is important now is that the PCT finds suitable premises for the three GP clinics that have to be rehoused without any further delay and that they also proceed with the sale of the hospital site as quickly as possible so that this land can at least be brought back into use and no more public money is wasted."

The psychological need of the investor is a major contributor to the dominant asset allocation chosen. This is a preliminary, hopefully useful, insight in a world of oversimplification. Further, it can be a useful aid in structuring time-span portfolios. For the moment, think of an asset allocation spreadsheet with three psychological columns and four time-span rows.
The investment account needs to fill in the matrix below:
| Now |
| Intermediate Term |
| Long-Term |
| Longest Term |
TIMESPAN L Portfolios®
The oldest investment need is to meet critical expenses. For each investor these may go from the immediate need to put food on the table to obtaining the most expensive item of fashion which can be real estate, life style, breakthrough medical care or the latest gadget. The income need includes the cash generation from capital and capital itself. Enough income is in the end not a statistic but a feeling of well-being.
The need for income may be immediate and/or a stream of cash for different time spans. For example, it may be high immediate expenses or future streams of payments requiring well-covered cash generations. To the extent of long-term payments in a world of paper or electronic money, the impact of inflation should be considered as to the value of cash levels.
Most income-driven investors tend to live very much in the present. They view loss of income as much more serious than a missed opportunity to enhance income and capital generation. They believe that they are conservative, but often they are taking into account only what is present and not the value of current and future income.
At prevailing interest rates on presumed high quality fixed income paper, investors are being pressed to meet perceived payment needs. This is particularly true for US foundations with a tax requirement payout of 5% over time. Currently, in most cases income investors are ignoring the present but low level of inflation. This is reducing the real value of both the spending and capital base.
Our preferred solution is to invest in established companies that have a long history of growing well-protected dividends in good times and bad. Currently, there are a number of these in the financial services field which we can discuss offline. In these cases, I believe the income is secure and generally grows faster than normal inflation. The risk is in the fluctuation of the price of the shares. In many existing cases, they are reasonably priced in terms of their intermediate-term outlook.
Value investors really don't like making meaningful mistakes. Perhaps earlier in the investment experience they were exposed to big mistakes made by others or themselves. Their reaction to prevent future mistakes is to accept a well-defined price discipline. They will often quote the two big investment rules: Rule 1: Don't lose money and Rule 2: Don't forget Rule 1. This is the historic coda from my old professor David Dodd of Graham & Dodd fame. This strong survival instinct at times prevents them from buying into big opportunities with substantial risk of loss. They are just the opposite of successful venture capital investors that have more losers than winners but the winners are large enough (and then some) to make up for their losses. Because we live in an uncertain world, most often they own lots of securities to diversify their risks.
Most of the time they are attempting to arbitrage the difference between current price and some standard of value. It is in the selection of this standard of value where the value investor tribe breaks into sub smaller units or families. Many of these families use the various corporate accounting statements to determine their values; e.g., book value, net tangible value, revenues per share/per customer or net liquidation value. It has been my experience that often many stocks sell at a 30% discount to their theoretical value. However, normally this discount is not fully captured quickly without some internal or external activist event.
In effect, the value investor lives in the current price range and wishes for the market to relatively quickly recognize the present value. These kinds of investments, when they work well, are found in the Replenishment Portfolio which invests through the present cycle. Because of their risk aversion value investors have better than market performance record, but often underperform when the market is looking for dramatic changes in the future.
The growth investor fundamentally believes in dramatic change that most do not fully comprehend. The change could be based on technology, radical price movements because of fundamental and largely permanent supply and demand shifts, as well as substantial and lasting impacts of demographic evolution. The successful growth investor not only believes that he or she can spot future changes, but also which company can be the most successful exploiter of these changes. Relative to the value investor, they are more tolerant of near-term price risk because they see larger and longer-term price rewards. Except for large funds investing in smaller companies, they tend to have more concentrated portfolios. However, they are much more sensitive to changes on the horizon which make them less patient than value investors. Thus, often they have more concentrated higher turnover rate portfolios.
Putting Income, Value and Growth to Work
In each cell of our intellectual investment matrix of the three asset allocation types and the four time-span investment periods, the investor should determine the appropriate mix. Thus one might have 60% in income, 30% in value and 10% in growth for the Operational Portfolio; 60% in value and 40% in growth for the Replenishment Portfolio and the reverse in the Endowment Portfolio. The Legacy Portfolio could have 70% in growth and 30% in value. Please note that I do not divide the world into domestic and international. I believe just about every company and most individuals are increasingly impacted by activities beyond their national borders. As indicated in earlier blogs "We are all Global." The location of incorporation or main securities market is a third level sort for administrators and sales people to worry about.
The very next trading day changes the actual allocation from the planned and prior day. Far too many investment organizations rebalance mathematically back to an original allocation. I believe rebalancing is an account-specific responsibility. I am very conscious that most large successful investors/entrepreneurs have made most of their money in a few or even one security. I am also aware that a family's concentrated wealth can be wiped out in a major failure. Thus, I suggest that rebalancing is a critical decision for the capital owner to make. One can see the degree of concentration will change as investment control shifts from the founder to succeeding generations of family workers and non-workers. Further, to me, rebalancing is essentially a market call of quasi-permanent market change or a return to some concept of "normal." The decision may be heavily influenced on payout considerations from how "income" and capital are defined.
What Not to Invest in the Legacy Portfolio
The whole concept of the Legacy Portfolio is that since the current generation of investment managers are responsible there are likely to be future periods of disruptive change compared to the present construct of our investment thinking. Often we may want to focus on investments that would benefit from expected changes. It is equally important to focus on what should not be there.
Two possibly negative trends that should be considered for reduction or elimination in a Legacy Portfolio are:
1. JPMorgan Chase
I have great respect for JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and its CEO Jamie Dimon. Personally, I have owned the stock for many years and it is our main deposit bank. Nevertheless, it should not be considered in a Legacy Portfolio of companies to benefit from disruptions. I commend Dimon's brilliant 46-page letter to shareholders that describes their success and outlook. It is the bank's very success under Jamie that makes me question whether at some future point the stock of JPMorgan Chase may not be an investment leader. If one links the performance of JPMorgan Chase from the date of its merger with Bank One its stock was up 211% compared with a gain for the S&P 500 of 154.8% and the S&P Financials 32.3%. For the last ten years the annual compounded growth was +8.6%, vs. +6.9% for the S&P and -0.4% for the financials. JPMorgan Chase has been a great stock. In the same period, the large foreign banks have retreated. My fundamental concern is that it is less likely that the bank's relative performance advantage will continue. I expect that at some point, the global financial businesses will be restructured to reduce the odds of continued success for the current bank.
2. Urban Real Estate
The second area to possibly exclude in the Legacy Portfolio is urban real estate. Cities are absorbing rural populations all over the world for sound economic and demographic reasons. At some point there will be intolerable overcrowding and with the advent of the internet and driverless vehicles, some of the people and capital will migrate to exurbia.
Whether these two thoughts work out, the key message is to look for those investments that will be advantaged and disadvantaged in the future.

My next book - work in progress
This to let you know that after my work on "The George Adamski Story" (photographical research) I am now working on a new book - working title is "Technology and Propulsion of the Visitors" - It is a book about the technology - and propulsion of the shuttle crafts seen (usually called UFOs) and the larger so-called motherships/cruisers.
A small part of the book will also tell about what is known about the cosmos/universe - in essence a bit about cosmology.
The book will again be filled with a lot of photographs - and around twenty paintings which I am in the process of doing especially for this book - scenes from inside the shuttle crafts and motherships/cruisers and scenes from planetary surfaces.
Book should be finished in a year (sometime around September 2019).

Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman is known for his technical polish, recently seen here as in a performance of Witold Lutoslawski's 1987 Piano Concerto under the baton of Herbert Blomstedt. (Zomerman was the concerto's dedicatee who premiered the work at the Salzburg Festival in 1988.)
In this Cal Performances presentation Zimerman may or may not be touring with his own Hamburg Steinway piano. This allows him to do some degree of control over having to adjust to unfamiliar instruments, a regulation that may fare him well in Zellerbach Hall.


Sam Chamberlain of Mount Airy agreed that it was nice to have the ingredients for a complete Thanksgiving meal delivered right to his doorstep. But that gesture also included something he considers just as important.
“I’ve got friends that care about me,” Chamberlain said while accepting a big blue bag containing a turkey, dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce, green beans, sweet potatoes, dinner rolls and a pumpkin pie.
Chamberlain, who lives in an apartment at the southern end of town, was one of about 1,260 people receiving such home deliveries countywide courtesy of a 19th annual program led by a Sunday school class at First Baptist Church here. A team of 52 volunteers and eight others who bagged up the foods at a central distribution point allowed 315 meals to reach the hands of area residents Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Woody Jordan, longtime organizer of the effort, says the program seeks not only to provide the food but stresses the importance of family togetherness and of caring about others which is vital at this time of year. Local agencies such as schools identify those in need, who reflect a variety of circumstances.
“It means a lot,” said Jack Butcher of Mount Airy, another meal recipient. Butcher, a 76-year-old great-grandfather who is confined to a wheelchair, said he has been receiving the meal package for about five years.
“The best part is receiving,” the elderly man joked as he accepted the blue bag filled with goodies. But Butcher quickly acknowledged a warm feeling in his chest as well.
“It just makes you feel good,” he said of the thought behind the gift of food.
When receiving his package, Sam Chamberlain was wearing a Mount Airy Bears cap — reflecting his avid support of local high school sports teams. He is also well-known as a Special Olympics competitor and volunteer for The Salvation Army’s Christmas bell-ringing campaign.
Chamberlain planned to take part of the food to his sister’s to cook on Thanksgiving Day, but said with a grin that “some of it” will stay at his apartment.
Another home where receiving the food made a difference is that of Kay Vargas and John Cole and the three young children in their household.
Vargas is a former loan processor in Miami who is having trouble finding work in Mount Airy. She said that includes fast-food restaurants, which seem reluctant to hire her because she is “old,” and not a teen.
She contemplated what kind of Thanksgiving the family would have without the food being provided. “A very sad one, with the economy the way it is,” Vargas agreed.
Nearly $8,000 In Aid
The good feelings were not limited to just those receiving the items. They also extended to the volunteer delivery personnel, who said they experienced the spirit of giving and true meaning of the holiday.
Trent and Melissa Huffman are former local residents who live in Atlanta and volunteered for the meals program while on a holiday visit here.
They were accompanied by sons Reece, 9, and Ben, 7, who were with their parents during the deliveries for a special reason.
“The boys, they’re getting to the age where they need to know it’s not about getting, it’s about giving,” Trent Huffman explained.
Nicole Jordan is among several volunteers of the meals program from the Jordan family, who also include Woody, her uncle; dad Steve Jordan; and her stepmom Jeanette. Nicole took food to various local families with the help of her boyfriend, Ben Hooker, and Jeannette Jordan.
That included the delivery to Chamberlain, who is well-known to Jordan through her work as a Special Olympics volunteer.
“It’s just a blessing to be able to help someone who probably wouldn’t have a meal if we didn’t bring it to them,” she said.
Jordan, 25, also cited the fact that the annual program is named for her grandmother, Joanne Jordan — Woody’s and Steve’s mother — who died when Nicole was 8. That also gives it special significance to her, said Nicole, a longtime volunteer with the effort who even helped in its packaging component in the years before she got a driver’s license.
Woody Jordan said the food provided this year alone totaled nearly $8,000 in value, which he stressed was accomplished not only through efforts by members of First Baptist Church but other area congregations and numerous contributions from the public at large.
This year’s meal total was a record for the nearly 20-year-old program, which Vargas and other recipients were glad to be part of during Thanksgiving 2012.
“It’s wonderful — it’s absolutely wonderful,” she said when receiving the food. “We do appreciate it.”

As the slow march towards autonomous vehicles continues, the big rig trucking industry could be one of the most impacted. At the same time, the dangers of an ill-programed autonomous 18-wheeler are much greater too. One firm working on that problem, Kodiak, a self-driving trucking startup, just showed how well its software can handle a tire blowout.
Kodiak Robotics is just one of many companies working on autonomous trucking but it’s one of very few showing off results. In a recent test, one of its trucks experienced a blowout at 35 mph (22 km/h) and safely came to a stop without issue. That might not be highway speed but it’s still an impressive show of ability.
“These are really hard to control, and demonstrating the ability of our autonomous driver to not only recognize the blowout in a fraction of a second, but then be able to safely handle it, is something that’s foundational to being able to launch autonomous vehicles,” Jordan Coleman, vice president of policy at Kodiak, told Automotive News.

It’s very much worth noting that the way this truck reacted to its blown tire, stopping in the lane, isn’t the only way that Kodiak wants its trucks to handle safety issues. Back in May of this year, the firm demonstrated what the truck does when it experienced another critical system failure.
In that case, the team showed off what happened when the self-driving system lost connection via an ethernet cord. As soon as the cable was cut, the truck slowed and pulled off to the side of the road and out of traffic. According to company spokesperson Daniel Goff, a truck with a blown tire will also pull off of the road so long as it’s safe to do so.
Coleman highlighted the fact that safety, not speed in the delivery of products would always be at the forefront of Kodiak’s operation. “We might not always do the right thing in terms of getting things from Point A to Point B, but it’s about showing we’re always going to do the safe thing,” he said.
“No matter what happens, we’re going to do something safe and protect motorists around the trucks. That’s the bar for launch.” We’re excited to see future tests like this. It’ll be interesting to see how any autonomous vehicle reacts at highway speeds or when there’s a blowout or major issue while in the midst of a complex maneuver like a turn.


When Daniel walks into the store with dozens of toys from “Toy Story, “ Corey asks if he robbed a toy store. Fortunately, he didn’t. Instead, he brought his entire Toy Story collection. From the start, this salesman knows exactly what he wants, but he’s worried that not all the toys are in the box. Corey calls toy guy Steve Johnston, who is right across the street, to find out more about the value of these toys.
The first thing Steve points out is the importance of this film to the film industry. Not only was this the first Pixar movie, but it was the first fully CG animated feature film. The movie was so big that Tom Hanks (who has a new movie on Netflix that people love) took $ 500,000 for the first “Toy Story,” and asked for $ 5 million to make the sequel. As a result, the toy production team didn’t use Tom Hanks as the voice of Toy Woody, but rather his brother, who is apparently the low-cost Hanks.
Here’s the catch, though: a lot of Daniel’s toys are out of the box. If they were all in the original boxes, the collection could cost between $ 1,500 and $ 2,000. Instead, Steve estimates that this mismatched collection would sell for around $ 400. Corey and Daniel are both disappointed. Corey offers $ 300 because he needs to make a profit. The two agree on $ 325, and now Daniel has a lot more space in his collection room for new models.

Build them in bunches and avoid gift shopping this year.
by Mac Wentz
As the holidays approach, my thoughts turn to how I can weasel out of gift shopping. And this year I have the perfect scheme: While the malls are jammed with poor saps, I’ll be in my shop blissfully building these boxes for everyone on my list.
When they marvel at the elegant keyed joinery at the corners, I won’t mention how fast and easy these boxes are to make. Making the jigs and resawing lumber takes a few hours, but once you’re set up you can churn out three or four boxes in a day. There’s no need to mention how cheap the materials are either. If you stick with common species like oak, cherry or maple, each box will cost only $10 to $15.
Tools and Materials
The box shown at left is made from 3/8-in.-thick wood, so I used a bandsaw for resawing and a planer to take the wood to final thickness. For more information about resawing, check out “Bandsaw Resawing”.
If you don’t have a bandsaw and planer you can also mail order 3/8-in. wood (see Sources, below). You’ll also need a tablesaw, belt sander, router table, 1/8-in. and 3/4-in. straight router bits and some 3-in. spring clamps.
Start With Grain Selection
Grain pattern has a big influence on the appearance of a small project like this box, so don’t just rip up boards and leave it to chance. Begin by making paper windows that let you preview the look of the box parts (Photo 1). I generally use finer, straighter-grained material for the ends and sides and a more dramatic pattern for the top. This is not a hard and fast rule, so experiment until you get something you like. Grain pattern for the bottom isn’t critical, since it doesn’t show. For the keys I use a different color wood so they contrast with the box.
Cut the Sides
I strongly recommend you miter the box sides on a tablesaw using a tablesaw sled (Photo 2). The every-time accuracy of a well-made tablesaw sled is hard to beat. In fact, I built a small one just for building these boxes. For more information on making a sled, see “The Ultimate Shop-Built Crosscut Sled,” AW #75, October 1999. Cut the parts for the ends and sides and make an extra set to test your machine setups later on.
Next cut the dadoes in the ends and sides for the bottom (Fig. A, page 55). The dadoes should be wide enough to provide an easy fit for the bottom.
Now select two ends and two sides that have the least attractive grain and mark them “GP” for guinea pig. These GP parts are the first to go through each step in the machining process and hopefully the only ones to suffer from setup mistakes. Beginning with the GP parts, rout the relief in the bottom of the ends and sides to form the corner feet using a 3/4-in. straight router bit in your router table (Photo 3).
The Bottom and Top
Cut the bottom for the box next.

Josh Murray, the winner of The Bachelorette season 10, recently celebrated his birthday with family and friends.
Fiancee Andi Dorfman threw him a surprise party at Del Frisco’s Grille, along with about 25 friends and family members, reported Access Atlanta.
“The party crowd dined on cheesesteak eggrolls, pimento cheese fritters, edamame, hummus and French onion dip before moving onto a selection of flatbreads including the roasted tomato, pesto chicken, wild mushroom and garlic shrimp. They enjoyed assorted libations including champagne, of course, and then followed up with yellow cake with chocolate frosting from A Piece of Cake,” it reported.
“The party then continued celebrating at The Painted Pin, a swank boutique bowling alley and entertainment venue in the Miami Circle district, where festivities included the Painted Pin’s signature ‘Moscow Mule Slushies,’ and had fun bowling and playing shuffleboard. Josh blew out 30 candles on a Painted Pin bowling cake while the band played ‘Happy Birthday.'”
Dorfman later posted on Twitter a photo of Josh blowing out his birthday candles. “What an awesome night surprising Josh! Special thanks to his friends and @DFGrilleAtlanta and @ThePaintedPin,” she said.
A couple days later she posted another photo from the party. “Happy 30th Birthday @jmurbulldog. I love you more than I can say in 140 characters!” she said.
— Andi Dorfman (@AndiDorfman) August 9, 2014
— Josh Murray (@jmurbulldog) August 9, 2014
— Andi Dorfman (@AndiDorfman) August 12, 2014
Josh took to Twitter on Wednesday to thank everyone. “Thank you guys for all the birthday wishes! I feel very blessed to have such great people in my life! #GodIsGreat #TheBig30,” he said.
Josh and Andi have been planning their wedding for the spring, but rumors keep popping up about the couple having problems.
The latest comes from gossip website Celeb Dirty Laundry, which claims that there are too many stories coming out for some of not to be true.
“Sure, not every single source claiming that Andi and Josh are fighting in public, fighting at home, fighting over the wedding, and fighting over whether they will have children is legitimate. But, the bottom line is there are way too many stories leaking about Josh and Andi on the verge of breaking up to ignore them,” it said.
“As time goes by and it becomes clear that Josh and Andi are having some serious issues with their relationship, then the rumors about Andi marrying Josh just for the fame are appearing to be more and more true. Josh wants to have children but Andi is all about her career – Josh might not yet realize that he was ‘hired’ by Andi to play a part, but he will soon, and that part does not include Andi having a baby!”
Not everyone agrees though, with one commentor saying that the article was [expletive] and that “they are really happy together!”
“Just LEAVE THEM ALONE!” the commentor added.

I was a Deerhunter virgin before I had heard Halcyon Digest, although they had been on my radar for some time. There’s something exciting about diving into a new artist without any strong preconceptions, and when the minimal, ambient sounds of Halcyon Digest first washed over me I was immediately intrigued.
Despite the occasional standout track, Halcyon Digest is a mellow album that’s best listened to as a whole. It creates a coherent mood, something increasingly rare in the age of iTunes. If you let the eleven tracks play all the way through, it easily makes a 46-minute playlist without getting boring. Every time the wandering tunes tempt you to zone out, the band hits you with a change of structure that draws you back in. A good example of this occurs in the transition between “Sailing” and “Memory Boy,” where a trailing vocal whimper suddenly collides with cymbals and an up-tempo melody. It is a testament to Deerhunter that the transitions between songs are just as engaging as some of the tracks themselves.
The album’s strongest track is “Coronado,” a dazzling piece that combines bouncy melodies and buzzing, distorted vocals to great effect. The track feels somewhat paradoxically like a blues song with a peppy pace, complete with somber lyrics battling a powerful, emotive saxophone. The lyrics, which deal in vague terms with memories and visions, describe life’s inevitable imperfections with the band’s characteristic minimalism.
On some songs, however, it’s a little too easy to get lost. “Earthquake,” for example, the droning opening track, loops and repeats without developing into anything compelling.
Regardless, Halcyon Digest is a good addition to your music collection. Its solid vocals, compliments of frontman Bradford Cox, and ambient acoustic groove will appeal to anyone looking for something dreamy, and the band’s use of sound effects mixes things up nicely. It’s the kind of album that reveals new surprises with each listen, inviting you to hear new subtleties in their already nuanced sounds.
As for my fellow Deerhunter virgins, enough abstaining. Time to put yourself out there and listen to them. Even if you’re not comfortable the first time, Deerhunter gets better with every listen.
Voice’s Choices: “Memory Boy,” “Desire Lines,” “He Would Have Laughed”

China has begun use of a domestically-developed monitoring system to oversee dangerous chemical transport based on the country's Beidou satellite, its management center announced on Thursday.
The system provides all-day data on dangerous chemical transport to the Beidou navigation satellite, which in turn gives corresponding operational order, according to experts who researched and developed the system.
"This signals new progress in civilian use of the Chinese satellite navigation system, and is a prominent stride toward a stage of large-scale civilian application," the center said.
Scores of sensors, equipped on every vehicle transporting dangerous chemicals, collect data and information from the vehicle as well as the road conditions.
Statistics revealed the country currently has more than 110,000 vehicles transporting dangerous chemicals.
"Various accidents have occurred frequently during such transportation in recent years. Enough attention should be given to such hidden dangers (threatening the public)," experts said.
The monitoring system, which oversees the entire transport process, can greatly reduce accidents and enhances a scientific and intelligent management of dangerous chemical transport, they said.
According to the center, the development of the system has two periods -- monitoring capacity of the first period covering 10,000 vehicles, and the second, where the capacity exceeds 100,000.
The system not only offers domestic security services, but covers surrounding countries and regions as well.
Newspaper reports said that all the information is stored in a black box and transmitted to the satellite; corresponding operational signals are then sent to the land control center.
"For example, when a vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the land control center can call the police and give timely rescue after it gets orders from the satellite," a report said.
"The whole process, from the accident occurring to the information sent to the land control center, only takes 0.01 second. This is much more advanced and less time-consuming than the monitoring system assisted by traditional GPS."
The system can even monitor whether the driver is impaired, the report said, saying censors installed in the driving cab can detect alcohol levels.
"If it's beyond the limit, the control center will cut off the fuel-supply to avoid drunk driving," it added.
China launched its fourth Beidou, or "Big Dipper", navigation satellite on Feb. 3 last year to provide all-weather and all-day navigation and positioning information. The previous three were put into space on Oct. 31, 2000, Dec. 21, 2000 and May 25, 2003, respectively.
Experts said China is establishing the Compass Navigation Satellite System on the basis of the Beidou system. The compass system, this year, will fully meet the demand of satellite navigation for clients in China and neighboring regions.
Beidou will also be used in guiding traffic and monitoring sports venues during the Beijing Olympic Games in August this year, according to Ran Chengqi, China Satellite Navigation Engineering Center deputy director.
Consisting of five positioning satellites orbiting the Earth, Beidou will help alleviate traffic problems during the Games by providing detailed positioning information to individual drivers, Ran said, adding it will be compatible to the prevailing GPS while serving for the Olympics.
Besides specific use for the Olympics and transport, the system will also benefit wider applications from fishery, mining, wildfire surveillance, disaster forecast to telecom, among others.

Mar 23, 2016
Highcon, the digital finishing system supplier, recently held a three day event at its headquarters in Israel to show technology developments that it will soon unveil at drupa 2016 in Germany. The short version of our report on this “pre-drupa” gathering:
- Since its debut at drupa 2012, Highcon has placed 25 of its “Euclid” and “Euclid II” devices globally
- In 2016 it will add a new portfolio of digital cutting and creasing systems and related tools, the Highcon Beam, Highcon Euclid III and the Highcon Pulse.
- These products will give carton converters and other printers new access to Highcon’s unique finishing, and also to two applications new at Highcon, 3D printing and variable data cutting.
Why Highcon Matters
Before describing the new products, we should first say why Highcon merits attention. Most importantly, Highcon’s core technology is special in the printing world, because it eliminates analog dies for cutting paperboard and other paper media, allowing short and ultra-short print runs of folding cartons and other applications with no die costs, and designs that are impossible to match in analog.
To explain the basic concept, Highcon works from a 2D digital design for a folding carton and jets a polymeric resin to form “rules” on a PET foil, thick lines that harden after UV curing and that the Highcon machines then press into printed paperboard media to form creases where needed. Next, laser stations cut the flaps, margins and decorative cuts—with no cost in money or time for analog dies. What’s left is printed, cut, and creased paperboard, ready for erection in a folder-gluer.
Since its first placement in 2013, Highcon has proven ideally suited to the current era, in which color digital printing is on the rise in packaging, short runs and timeliness are mantras, and brands want packaging that’s unique and hard to emulate; Highcon Euclid helps in all these areas. Meanwhile, the technology has had some clear successes, having placed systems in all regions, and also won as co-marketers top digital press vendors, namely HP Indigo, Komori, Screen, Xeikon, and Xerox. Highcon’s success even has started to flow beyond folding cartons, into commercial printing. One customer, card manufacturer American Greetings, installed a Euclid in 2014 and now runs it for three shifts to produce cards with designs that only Highcon technology can create.
While Highcon is best known for the Euclid system that it first showed in 2012, what the company has now is an enhanced portfolio, ranging from an entry-level model to one big and fast enough to finish the output of a full size offset press. All this is ready for display at drupa 2016, which will be covered in detail by InfoTrends’ packaging related consulting service. For now, some notes:
Highcon Pulse is smaller in size, power, and price than the other Highcon systems, to appeal to digital PSPs and smaller commercial printers. Pulse has a maximum sheet size of B2 (530 x 750mm/21 x 30”) and just one laser, compared to three for the other models, but is capable of 2,000 sheet per hour productivity. Meanwhile, base unit costs $395K, before options such as digital waste removal, about half the price of the original Euclid/Euclid II. Variable data cutting is an option. Pulse availability will be Q1 2017
Highcon Euclid III handles B1 and B2 sized sheets, with the same three lasers as the original Euclid, which ups the media it can cut to include microflute corrugated (N, F, G, 47 points). Euclid III includes as standard variable data cutting, advanced registration, and Highcon CAD Light editor. 3D modelling will be an option for Euclid III, which will be available in June 2016.
Highcon Beam is the most powerful system in the portfolio, with digital cutting and creasing up to 5,000 B1 sheets per hour, speed it owes mainly to its higher powered lasers, which also increase its media range to include E-flute corrugate (up to 78 points). Based on assessment of different carton designs, Highcon Beam will commonly be about 3X faster than Highcon Euclid, fast enough to finish big jobs printed in offset. Variable data cutting will be standard, 3D modelling an option. Beam will be available in Q4 2016.
The new line-up has multiple features, three of which are described here:
Variable data cutting supports personalization and variable data cutting by enabling batch production. Initially, VDC relies on creation of multiple DXF files in the pre-press phase (long term, VDC will be fully supported by the DFE). The VDC feature can be used to create personalized cards or packaging, or to etch serialized codes. Those two applications are obviously different, but each is highly valued in the current era, where mass customization and product security are key concerns.
For 3D printing, Highcon systems use variable data cutting to cut layers of a desired form that, when aligned and stacked, create a solid object or a mold for one. Highcon’s “Rapid Layer Manufacturing” differs from most other “additive manufacturing” in two ways: (1) the material used is paper; (2) the process is well suited to create even fairly large objects, such a 48” tall wine stand. As to the media, even waste paper will do. Regarding size, Highcon showed the mold it created for a complex, 1 meter high concrete form, built from 2,000 sheets of 20 point paperboard; Highcon says the sheets were cut in just 45 minutes on a Euclid, and at 90% less cost than a conventionally produced version.
Finally, Highcon Axis is a cloud-based “web-to-pack” software solution. With help from partners XM Pie and Esko, Highcon Axis gives a Highcon user an on-line storefront for his converting services. This in turn allows his customers, whether businesses or consumers, to choose a carton design, personalize it, decorate it, and place an order.
Other Uses Coming
The overall lesson from Highcon’s “pre-drupa” event is that this still-small Israeli company is growing in terms of products, placements, and applications. The expanded list of Highcon systems is a sign of that growth, and so is the surprisingly simple, economic approach to 3D modelling, a possible use for each of its systems. Meanwhile Highcon is actively seeking new uses; one not available now but that Highcon demonstrated at the event is embossing. Looking ahead, Highcon looks likely to succeed in the packaging uses that are its first target, but also in other applications, including ones unknown to us now.

Herff–Brooks Corporation was a short-lived automobile manufacturer based in Indianapolis, Indiana. It operated for about two years around 1915–1916. It was a successor to the failed Marathon Motor Works of Nashville, Tennessee, and operated with some of the same personnel and equipment.
The name came from the Herff Brothers and H.H. Brooks. Brooks had been a Marathon officer and the brothers arranged to purchase some of the assets of that firm. Little other information seems to have survived about the firm. The name appears on many lists of historic Indianapolis manufacturers, but with no other information given.
A 40 hp four, at $1100, and a 50 hp six, at $1375, were offered; for 1915 a 25 hp, selling at $765, was added.
It is believed that only one Herff–Brooks automobile survives today.

Parts of tumor tissues were prepared, and morphological adjustments in tumor tissues cells had been observed using eosin and hematoxylin staining technique. Results: Weighed against the model control group, the tumor inhibition price from the high-dose implemented group is certainly 60.15%, which is fairly closed to the result of CTX. Furthermore, the tumor pounds is reduced, the indexes of spleen, thymus significantly were increased. Furthermore, the administration of BFAT improved the actions of TNF- considerably, IL-2, SOD, and GSH-Px and reduced the levels of AST, ALT, MDA, Alb, TGF-1, and IL-10 ( 0.01). Conclusions: The results exhibited that n-butanol fraction from aril of showed out antitumor activity without obviously liver damage through potentiating immunologic function and antioxidant activity of tumor-bearing mice and which may become one potential as anticancer drug alternatives or supplements. SUMMARY High and medium groups could significant elevate the thymus and spleen indexes and the interleukin-2 and tumor necrosis factor- level in serum of H22 mice n-butanol fraction from aril of (BFAT) could ameliorate the levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and albumin to almost normal, and increase the concentrations of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase enzyme, decrease the malondialdehyde level in serum of mice significantly BFAT may Zanosar cost indirectly play the role of antitumor activity through improving immunologic function BFAT Zanosar cost had potent antitumor properties without obviously liver damage. Open in a separate window Abbreviations used: DDP: Cisplatin; CTX: Cyclophosphamide; AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; Alb: Albumin; MDA: Malondialdehyde; SOD: Superoxide dismutase; GSH-Px: Glutathione peroxide enzyme; TNF-: Tumor necrosis factor-; IL-2: Interleukin-2; TGF-1: Transforming growth factor-1; IL-10: Interleukin-10; HE: Hematoxylin and eosin; PBS: Phosphate-buffered saline; PFAT: Petroleum ether fraction from aril of Fort Ex. Lindl. (Taxaceae) is an evergreen tree. There are six species in the world, and three of them distribute in China. is one of the characteristic economic species mainly developing in Zhejiang and Anhui provinces. It Zanosar cost really is famous for its edible seed products that taste-like nut products with a distinctive flavor and its own bioactivities that are used in traditional Chinese language medication. The seeds of have already been used to remedy insect abdominal pain because of its many therapeutic values in historic China as record in shennong materia medica. Furthermore, the seed products are abundant with fatty oils made up of unsaturated essential fatty acids up to 80% and essential fatty acids mainly oleic, linoleic, and hand acids, and also have found precautionary results on experimental artherosclerosis in rats. Being a uncommon snack, continues to be used due to its abundant functional substances and dietary beliefs widely, however the succulent seed aril among the by-products that completely encloses the seed products and represents about 50% of the new weight from the seed products, is generally discarded which Rabbit polyclonal to ITLN2 consequently led to great waste of assets and generated some environmental complications.

Grenache is a great pairing for a cheese and charcuterie plate. We use that fact as a backdrop to make this elevated Mac ‘n’ Cheese recipe from Wolfgan Puck’s CUT Steakhouse. The tangy and complex cheese and subtle peppery notes really fit well with this wine.
Preheat an oven to 375°F. Butter a 3- to 4-quart square baking dish.
In a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the 6 Tbs. butter. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until blended, about 1 minute. Add the bay leaf and slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Simmer, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is thickened, 14 to 16 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and discard. Whisk in the crème fraîche and the 1 1/2 tsp. fleur de sel and bring to a simmer.
Remove from the heat and stir in 1 1/4 cups each of the mozzarella and cheddar. Season with fleur de sel and white pepper. In a large bowl, combine the pasta and cheese sauce and stir in 2 cups of the mozzarella.
Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and cheddar and then with the bread crumbs. Bake until the bread crumbs are golden and the cheese is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Incidentally I logged into this africa web site. I found something very intresting that I was from on of the riches,
Country in africa. Nigeria my country is so rich but yet
There is nothing to show for it.
We live in a country where pooverty is the order of the day
No electriy in most of the country . I ask the present government to rescue the nation.
Your figures and GDP rankings are wrong and need to be corrected. According to world Bank, IMF and CIA world economic ranking report of all the countries in the world for 2010, South African economy is estimated to be larger than those of Egypt. South African economy has always been estimated to be larger than that of Egypt. Please click on the url below for more details on world economic ranking. I will also be including the economic ranking of the top three african economies below as published by the three listed organizations and agency:
World Ranking#….Country…..world Bank…..IMF……CIA
Please note that these are all in dollars.
Guys were is the smile of Africa ( Namibia). Namibia is supposed to be in the top Ten. being rich is not just because of oil. talk about stability,diamonds,uranium,gold,beef, tourism,etc. this survey are not acurate. there are many rich countries who were supposed to be there
I thank God that upon all the means Nigerian government tries to degrade and bring low the countries economy we are still 3rd of which when ever we decide to stand firm to know our capacity / level, then i thought we shall meet 17 to 21 in the world, i thank God for that………
Nigeria are rated 3rd richest country in africa,but we suffering alot,can u immagine graduate are outside there searching for job,children are dieing for hunger unemploment everywhere and they say we are the richest in africa,am sorry we are the poorest.
This is wrong. Where is Gabon?
what about kenya and what determines the economy of a country
The Main 3 problems with Nigeria is the following, and why I don’t it will be an Economic Power-House In Africa (Not unless they get these issues fixed):
When I went there on Oil & Gas Work – I noticed the following, that needs to be fixed for Nigeria to Thrive:
(1) Very Major Corruption. You have BMW Show-rooms and luxury apartments, right next to shanty town. There is VERY Little “Middle Class” in Nigeria. Any successful country needs a Educated Middle Class, this is probably why many educated Nigerians are leaving the country (there’s nothing in the middle). Also with all the Oil you’d expect good and developing infrastructure. Outside Lagos, I saw very little development, for Schools/Hospitals/Road/Trains Etc…
(2) Nigeria (like India, where I am originally from) has a high fertility rate (India is just under 3) – For 2012 it was 5 kids per woman. Nigeria is under 10% the size of the USA, however its population is well above replacement level – The population currently is 180 million (2012) it will be 300 million (2025) and balloon to over +400 million by 2050. Despite all the Oil Wealth how can any country, with that kind of massive population growth (young population) effectively feed / educate and provide decent/meaningful jobs for its peoples/citizen.
(3) Finally I noticed and know, there is a thin but potentially deep Christian/Muslim Divide issue, and some tribal issues, that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Again the Politicians are ignoring the issue.
Just my take on this topic.
God bless Nigeria nd d rest of sfrican country
It’s obvious that we couldn’t see Togo
Republique of peace among the the richess
so sad dat nigeria is rated top 3 richest country in africa,so far there is nothing 2 show 4 it.
Nigeria is d first country i’ll c where d riches ar getting richer while d poor ar getting poorer wot a shame!.
In all give thanks to GOD.
nigerin gov. surpose to look into population growth rate
Nigeria is a blessed country rich in economy and endowned in other things such as agriculture, coal,oil etc .but daspite all these things we are realy suffering in this country .these a country where the government treat the massive any how despite they were voted in by the massive .graduate are out there suffering while some have not gotten work up to six year they finish school .lack of security people died daily yet we pride ourself amonge the richest in africa God save us
Nigeria need to do something about its population. The population of Nigeria is too much that’s why the resources can’t be shared properly and religion crisis christian muslim they don’t agree
It’s quite a shame that despite all this recognition of nigeria as the 3rd richest nation in africa, we the indigens still live in abject poverty.It’s only by God’s intervation that nigeria will be a better place to live in again. ___hilarioh
yeah….we r rich quite alright buh I think d major problem.wif d Nigerian economy is CORRUPTION…..funds are not being used appropriately instead dose in power rather use it to entire demselves. they believe in IMPUNITY which I think is really thriving in this great country of ours. wat dis great country of ours, Nigeria, needs is for all those corrupt officials. to be flushed out and given jail terms in accordance to wat they’ve embezzled…….d big question there ld be ” WHO WILL BELL D CAT???? ” it’s left for us nigerians to stand up n fight for our rights.
I rest my case.
I can’t believe it that Nigeria is the third richest country in africa, despite it poverty rate and the high level of insecurity, still made it to the third position. May God help africans and bless the people of Nigeria.
Well i was thinkig that nigeria will be number one in africa but i’m not supprise because 70% of money the country make from oil exportation is one man salary so i think we do try being in third (3) position.
you guys are all wrong,is ecuatorial guinea the most richest. my home
Haahahahaha lol plss do some research, google is your friend use it!@ neli vaneli
Dis statistics thy dnt tell the truth abt the wealth of sum diz countries for instance the infrastructure iz of low quality,unemployment iz very high,corruption nd crime a high thrz ernomus food shortage nd its not safe to visit this countries jst to mention a few.there a countries who should be in tat top 10 take Botswana,Namibia and Mauritius 4 instance regardless of the low population diz countries a excellening in jst abt anythn.i thnk da standard of living,education,infrastructure shud determin the wealth of a country not only people who a in power or those who associates wit thm.
neli Vaneli is not wrong according to this website http://www.aneki.com/countries2.php?t=Richest_Countries_in_Africa&table=fb129&places=0=*&order=desc&orderby=fb129.value&decimals=–&dependency=independent&number=all&cntdn=asc&r=-88-89-90-91-92-93-94-96-97-98-99-100-101-102-103-104-105-106&c=africa&measures=Country–GDP%20per%20capita&units=–$&file=africa_richest .
Nevertheless,most of these figures are not up to date and need to be re evaluated.
and kenya is like nigeria too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oooooooooooh!my country kenya!
amkeni ndugu zetu!
Critics wont solve the problems dt r inherent in a Nation…all dz critics r demeaning nd degrading a country’s value…
…America has of date is characterised by numerous entrepreneurs who hv succeded in taking risks by pooling numerous resources,dey r willing to face nd overcoming whatever challenge dt comes dere way regardless of d negativities.

***lets read out our way to make our country a top leading nation nd stop d unprofitable task of rating d country we havent laboured for!
…GOD BLESS THE AFRICAN CONTINENT…
I agree with those of you that commented on Nigeria being the 3rd Richest country, but as an individual or as a Nigerian, what are we doing to help improve the economy or what plans do we have for the homeless or the uneducated ?, are we honest ourselves ?….., Remember all this negative post will not take us anywhere, it will only give us a bad reputation as a Nation. THE CHANGE IN THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY HAS TO START WITH YOU…….PROUDLY NIGERIAN
With 5 of nigerian pastors among the richest 10 pastors ??n the world.
2 richest I?????n????? african top 10
1 among the 100 richest.
4 among the richest 10 musicians I?????n????? african.
Petroleum all over I?????n????? the southern nigeria,bitumen I?????n????? southwest,exporting the cocoa I?????n????? africa,timber,rubber,e,
Northerns not leftout with there agriculture
Well,the only problem we have is bad government/leader
Why are we called giant of africa
What can we prove †? the world?
But proud †? be A???? nigerian.
Waiting Fø????? DR mimiko †? rule nigeria
i am a kenyan teen…proudly,now ive read each and every one of your comments and i think its a reasonable discussion…i dont have facts or links or as much experience as most of you but i know this..ok so look,Nigeria and sudan have oil, south africa has gold,egypt is amazing in agriculture despite its desert nature and oh my gosh dont get me started on the mineral wealth of Congo,all countries have something to offer…mix it all together and the west will finally stop looking down at us and calling us a god damn third world continent(i hate that word)..and please note that we are still young..i mean lets take one step at a time..the rest of the world are where they are because of experience..Africa became free just a few years back but honestly with our peoples will, i dont think well take a century to catch up if only we work together,i vouch for U.S.Africa..theres nothing worse than turning against you own people,we Kenyans learnt it the hard way via post election violence ’07
Another issue is our pride…oh lord our African egos,the reason for setting this ranking isnt so that the top countries can think they live in luxury..some people commented on that and i totally agree..i cant speak for other countries but if Kenya was anywhere near the top of that list,i would call it utter lies(yet again,im proudly Kenyan)…Africa has the most outrageous differences as far as economical classes are concerned,bad roads,POLLUTION,corruption, POOR GOVERNANCE!!!!,unemployment..i mean how is it that in States you would find most teenagers having small scale jobs while a 30 year old degree graduate from Arica who passed exemplary well in his high school is a tout or a driver and is payed half as much as the teenager…lets not be ignorantly blinded by rankings and seat back patting our backs when all is wrong.
pleasure being here, Tracy
South africa iS the richest country in Africa wth our natural resources such Gold,silver,platinuM etc etc. But there’s stil povertY n ada socio -economical issues, but m a liTtle disappointed abt Nigeria thy shuld b on the second spot cause of their Oil. Clearly corrupt leaders dO too much damage than we think
I cant seem to find the whole list. Am only seeing 3 countries. wossup?
Last line of the post reads “Click here to see more of the wealthiest African nations. And be sure to let us know your ideas as to how better utilize the info to improve our global economic development.”
Nigerians posting on here clearly need to learn more about their country. Yes, we know corruption rate in nigeria is unfortunately high and it’s has been hindering and slowing the countries growth for some years now. But nigeria despite its high rate in corruption is experiencing rapid growth in its economy, and its said to overthrow South Africa as the No.1 ranking economy in Africa by the year 2018. With its growth in various sectors like agriculture, Oil, Coal, and all other commodities, Nigeria has also seen foreign investors flooding in from the UAE, U.S, UK, Qatar and China e.t.c. The African economy for it to experience better growth needs Nigeria to make this growth happens for them with its large and strong economy. A little transparency and less corruption from its government we see the nation topple South Africa and move up the ladder on the global ranking from 30th to 15th in the space of 8years and further more if it sustain that growth. And the energy growth in southern nigeria is great

Mayor calls on community to help Open Doors; Council considers transportation changes
Mayor Deanna Reed on Tuesday expressed concerns for Open Doors, the local low-barrier homeless shelter. The organization has shifted its shelter from several locations in recent years, from churches to JMU at the start of the pandemic to the former Red Front grocery store building, then back to JMU this summer. But come Aug. 15, Open Doors will once again be in the market for space to run the shelter.
City outlines ways for private donations to enhance parks, programs and public spaces
Harrisonburg now has an official policy to accept private donations that can help spruce up or expand public areas, parks and other projects and programs.
Residents want ARPA funds to help with housing, health and child care
Affordable housing, robust mental and physical health care and accessible child care for working families are Harrisonburg residents’ top three needs that could be addressed using the city’s share of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
Open Doors returns to JMU for the summer but city finds a site for a permanent shelter
The city’s announcement that Harrisonburg has found a permanent site for a homeless shelter will eventually put an end to years of shifting from one temporary facility to another for Open Doors, the organization that runs the shelter.
Road to reducing the city’s emissions starts with vehicles, according to updated environmental plan
With an initial focus on reducing pollution from transportation, city staff are preparing to invest in more electric vehicles, improve efficiency of traffic flow and plan for more sidewalks, bike trails and shared use paths.
Council approves budget and hears concerns about financially struggling households
More than half of the children in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County live in households that struggle to make ends meet even though family members are employed, according to the local United Way’s analysis of economic data.
Council tabs money for organizations, approves a future pay raise and opts to hand over an alley to JMU
More than 40 community organizations will receive city funds — including 11 first-time recipients — after the city council made changes Tuesday to the draft of the city’s next budget.
July 13, 2022
City plans for reshaping roads with more bike lanes and sidewalk projects
Harrisonburg plans to apply for state grant money for seven transportation projects, including adding bike lanes on some major thoroughfares and some work on South Main Street near the new Rocktown High School that’s under construction.

For April’s MATS Bootcamp assignment we were asked to design organisational trays/cups on the theme of sewing accessories, or sewing notions. I tried a few different ways of drawing and colouring my ideas and eventually decided on these designs for a tray, some trinket dishes and 3 different storage cups.
For the design of the trays and cups I was inspired by a few things I’d spotted on Pinterest and also in online shops like Anthropologie. With the drawings I decided to stick with simple line drawings in ink which I coloured digitally.
Making patterns is one of my favourite ways to play around with my drawings so I also created 2 repeat patterns using the same images – one using all the drawings I’d made and another that used just the buttons.
This was probably my favourite assignment so far in Bootcamp because the work I made felt very ‘me’. I felt like I was learning new things but at the same time using a style that is familiar and comfortable. We have one more month to go and I’m curious to see what that assignment will be, but in the meantime we have an extra week before that work starts so I’m enjoying a little break and resting as much as possible.

FC Ifeanyi Ubah's players, coaches and fans were this evening attacked by irate fans of Heartland FC's after both clubs played out a goalless draw in Owerri.
FC Ifeanyi Ubah players and fans who were navigating their way out of the stadium after the keenly contested match were met with violence by the enraged Heartland's fans who hurled stones and bottles at the team's bus.
The players and fans were then ambushed by the irate fans as they attempted to flee for safety on foot. Players and fans were beaten while others were taken away. FC Ifeanyi Ubah team's buses were destroyed as the windows were smashed and the tyres punctured to restrain movement of the vehicles.
An eye witness said
"I have never seen anything like this before. The level of hooliganism and thuggery shown by these people was beyond belief. Can you imagine that they were hurling stones at the girls? Young girls who just came to support their team. It was so sad to see"
At the time of reporting, about 30 people have been taken to different hospitals in Owerri for treatment while the whereabouts of others are unknown.


Erick Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hi all, Erick here. I recently picked up a SBE II in a LH model because I just could not pass up the price. I have already switched over the safety but I was wondering if I could easily convert it to a Right Hand shotgun. I am pretty certain that it's going to cost me more than I want to spend but it would be good knowledge to know. The best I can figure, it would take a new RH barrel, bolt and a few other drop in parts. Anyone have any idea? I shot a few boxes through it this weekend and it didn't bother me since it's my first auto but having the action on the same side as the release would have been nice. Shoots like a dream, so much that I might be selling my Nova to my brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hearn admits there's a clear path for Anthony Joshua to fight Tyson Fury, but has warned fans not to get their hopes up.
Joshua is back in action for the first time since successive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk as he takes on American Jermaine Franklin on Saturday night, live on talkSPORT.
Usyk claiming Joshua's WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight world titles led to huge excitement across the sport for a unification bout with WBC champion Tyson Fury, however, talks over an April showdown have since collapsed.
It does mean there's nothing to stop AJ from trying to re-enter talks with Fury's camp over a potential Battle of Britain clash should he get the job done against Franklin.
Hearn was quoted telling the Daily Mail that he believes Joshua will fight Fury this summer providing his fighter gets past Franklin.
But in an interview with talkSPORT, Hearn was quick to remind fans that like with the Usyk vs Fury negotiations, talks over a Joshua vs Fury fight also broke down.
Asked if Joshua intends to call Fury out should he beat Franklin, Hearn said: "No, I don't think that's really his style.
"I feel like big fights are about timing. Fury doesn't have a fight, if AJ wins then he doesn't have a fight, there are no mandatories with Fury...
Most read in Boxing
"There is actually a clear path to make that fight but let's not get our hopes up; we've been here before.
"The only thing that matters right now is taking care of business on Saturday."
Joshua has been involved in some mega fights, including against Usyk and Wladimir Klitschko, however, Hearn believes the 33-year-old's comeback fight is the biggest of his career.
Hearn added: "When you look back there have been some massive fights, haven't there? But this fight all of a sudden you think, 'Wow, this might be the most important.'
"All the pressure's on AJ to not just win but win in style. You've got Jermaine Franklin next to me, who's already lost 25lbs, comes in with a six pack and thinks if he beats AJ, he'll change his life forever as Andy Ruiz did.
"I guess there are some doubts about AJ after the Usyk fights and the reaction in the ring after and the press conference but he's motivated.
"He's made a lot of sacrifices in this camp and I hope he gives the performance that he deserves."
Showdown Saturday on talkSPORT
On Saturday 1 April, it's all kicking off on talkSPORT.
12:30pm: Starting the day, Man City host Liverpool in a key Premier League game.
3pm: Crystal Palace vs Leicester sees the return of Roy Hodgson to the Selhurst Park dugout.
7pm: Build-up begins for the heavyweight showdown between Anthony Joshua and Jermaine Franklin as AJ starts his route back to the top.
What. A. Day.
