![]() Sometimes you need to work incrementally in the case of multiple breaks or detached fragments.Ī useful trick for irregular surfaces such as buttstocks is the “Spanish windlass”. It sometimes involves fashioning specially shaped and padded “cradles” to support the stock at a certain angle on the bench. Each case warrants a different approach, which has to be thought out and actually tried before you even think of reaching for the glue bottle. If the force is applied from another angle so that the stock breaks on a diagonal or lateral plane, a different clamping scheme is needed. In this case, it was along a vertical plane. A break generally occurs along the lines of stress applied to the stock. By elevating the stock on wood blocks atop the bench, as shown, the downward pressure (at 90 degrees to the benchtop) exerted by the cabinetmakers’ clamps did the trick. This was a relatively easy case, since the break was generally along a vertical plane. Next, a method had to be devised to clamp the stock so that the cracks close completely under pressure. Had this been an old crack, considerable time would have been spent degreasing all surfaces of the break. For good measure, the area was cleaned from the inside with dental picks and acetone swabs, being 2 careful not to remove any actual wood. An exception was a small crack under the lockplate which looked old because the wood inside was darkened. Repair was made somewhat easier by the fact that the break occurred recently and the fractured surfaces were still clean - no oil or gunk had gotten inside. Not only was the wood damaged, but the relatively flimsy brass trigger guard tangs had bent as well. 1-3 show the piece from both sides, as received. Despite its relative lack of good workmanship, it’s a historically interesting piece with loads of Nepali markings and an undoubtable association with the Gurkhas.įigs. The wood resembles walnut but is rather soft and weak to begin with, and the entire gun is a smoothbore, fixed-sight downmarket version of what should otherwise be a well-designed and crafted British service rifle. This is a “broke in shipment” case: a partial break (I suppose the medical profession would call this a greenstick fracture) between the lockplate and trigger guard of an Indian or Nepali knockoff of a Brunswick percussion rifle. Stocks also break or split in shipment because they were improperly packed, or perhaps after a postal worker had practiced the “caber toss” with the carton to prepare for an upcoming Highland Games. You see antique guns with period repairs which vary from skillful to picturesque. (This is a very old article so the image resolution is somewhat low.)Įvery collectible arms dealer occasionally has a problem with a rifle or shotgun that comes in with a stock that’s cracked or completely broken at the wrist, that narrow and vulnerable area between the butt and the rear of the action or breech. ![]()

![]() ![]() The Parliament needs integrity and transparency to be strong. Reasonable quotas for Parliamentary questions, statements on votes and roll call votes are useful to strengthen the influence of democratic decisions. Many new internal rules strengthen the European Parliament’s efficiency and help avoid obstruction and paralysis. The new commitment only to meet lobbyists who declared themselves in the Transparency Register is a strong wake up call for the ones in the dark to register or to lose the contacts their work relies on. ![]() Lobby transparency is a key element to increase the citizens’ trust in the EU Parliament. “It’s a big victory that MEPs will only be allowed to meet registered lobbyists. MEP Sven Giegold, rapporteur for transparency, accountability and integrity in the EU institutions and spokesperson of the German Greens in the European Parliament, comments: Today, just before the vote the team of lead negotiators and representatives of the political groups met for the first time which discusses Parliament’s position for the update of the Transparency Register for lobbyists on which Sven Giegold represents the Greens. This forced the Corbett report to become the arena of decision how transparent Parliament should become. In September 2016 the Conservatives (EPP), Social Democrats and Liberals blocked the vote on the fully negotiated Giegold-report on “Transparency, Accountability and Integrity in the EU institutions”. The most important proposals were then tabled again by more than 100 MEPs from 5 political groups and were today voted on in plenary. However, many improvements on integrity and transparency were blocked by Conservatives (EPP) and Liberals (ALDE) in the Constitutional affairs committee. The Greens presented a “plan for integrity and transparency in the European Parliament” consisting of 46 amendments to the rules of procedure to avoid conflicts of interest and improve transparency. Debates focused on minority rights in the Parliament, lobby transparency and stricter rules on integrity. Today the European Parliament revised its internal rules of procedure, which govern both its day-to-day functioning and the ethics standards for MEPs (“Corbett report”). ![]() ![]() ![]() The highlight of 3D After Burner II is the addition of the ’special mode’ which can be unlocked once the player completes the game.

It’s up to contestant frog jockeys to learn what the frog needs to be able to go the distance. Contestants of all ages are welcome to participate at both stages. First timers sometimes practice on the Lily Pad stage before their jump time on the Main Stage. The Frog Jumping Competition takes place in two side-by-side locations at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds (which is also known as Frogtown) in Angels Camp, CA, The Main Stage is where the competition takes place, and the smaller Lily Pad stage is great for anyone wanting to jump a frog without the pressure of competition. The Frog jumping competition runs throughout the full four day span of the fair, the third weekend in May every year (Thursday through Sunday). How to Jump a Frog at the Calaveras County Fair When and Where Does the Frog Jumping Take Place? Be sure to bring a blanket or lawn chairs to relax with friends and family and watch the events. This epic weekend culminates in the well loved Destruction Derby, Sunday evening which is towards the end of the last day of the fair. Frog jumping happens all four days of the event, with the final day featuring the last day of frog jump challenges (including the International Frog Jump finals). These days, the Jubilee kicks off with a children’s parade in historic downtown Angels Camp, and loads of classic fair events (including classic fair food, carnival rides, live music, goofy competitions, livestock, rodeo, opportunities to sample award winning local wines and agriculture) all while taking part in the namesake event–frog jumping. The Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee blends good ol’ fashioned fun with a hearty dollop of world literary history. Held the 3rd weekend in May each year (Thursday through Sunday) the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee commemorates the story that launched Mark Twain’s career, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Located in the beautiful rolling foothills of California’s Gold Country just outside the quaint Gold Rush town of Angels Camp, the international The Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee is disguised as a small town fair harkening back to a simpler era.

When the going gets really tough, you could draw a thumbnail sketch (OK, a dozen thumbnail sketches) of a particularly obtuse puzzle. You might write something as simple as a reminder to return to an area or try a different approach to a puzzle. If you've got a piece of paper and a pencil (they're erasable!), don't hesitate to write things down. Some puzzles might be too complex to keep track of in your head. If you're playing on a PlayStation 4, double-tap the PlayStation button on the DualShock 4 controller, and you can switch instantly between The Witness and your screenshots. In those scenarios, there's absolutely no shame in grabbing a picture with your smartphone so you have something to refer to later. You'll occasionally find solutions to puzzles that are some distance from the puzzle they're connected to. You'll often return to the point you were stuck at and wonder why you had such trouble with it in the first place. Either way, it's often helpful to step away from a puzzle and have a walk around the island. Or maybe you're just not able to put it all together and come up with a solution. If you're stuck on a puzzle, you may not have the piece of puzzle vocabulary you need to solve it yet. What may initially appear to be a small flourish to keep things visually interesting may in fact be the clue you need to break the whole puzzle open. The Witness is not only a beautiful world, it's one created with intent. But keep in mind that puzzle panels can be activated whenever you've got a clear line of sight to the panel. Selecting a puzzle panel when close to it will draw your perspective, so you're staring directly at it from inches away. You don't always need to activate panels when right in front of them. Observe the whole puzzle and everything around it from plenty of different perspectives. The Witness limits itself to one type of puzzle (mazes) but explores so many permutations of that single idea that it ends up using clues and hints you wouldn't expect in other games. These are often designed to train you in a symbol's meaning and help expand your puzzle vocabulary. ![]() Every symbol has an accompanying area meant specifically to teach you the meaning of that symbol. There are no written words in the game, so The Witness communicates how to solve puzzles with what we think of as a "puzzle vocabulary." Learning what each symbol means is essential to finishing the game, but once you understand them, the rules are constant across the island (unless they're modified by another rule). You'll solve a lot of puzzles while playing The Witness, but half the fun is figuring out how to solve them. ![]() ![]() (Though if you've hit a wall, and you're looking for those, head over to our full guide and walkthrough for The Witness.) Instead, here's a light dusting of advice that will give you a different perspective (sometimes literally) as you explore The Witness, its beautiful scenery and its sometimes maddening puzzles. This beginner's guide offers tips, tricks and best practices, not puzzle solutions. What then? Should you search for the solution? What if you just want a gentle nudge in the right direction? Or what if you just want some general tips as you make your way through? You've come to the right place. There will be times when you get stuck, too. The good news is that, even though you're usually starving for information, you'll still be able to figure out a lot - provided you learn to listen to what The Witness is whispering to you, ever so gently. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you're going to be sharing documents with people using Microsoft Office, LibreOffice might therefore be the better choice.

LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice are almost identical. Both software suites offer plenty of user-made designs to download, but LibreOffice's selection of pre-installed options is far superior to OpenOffice's. If you often need to make presentations, LibreOffice has the edge in terms of the number (and quality) of slide templates available.
