![]() In anticipation of a German invasion, the British Army asked for ideas for a simple, easy to use, ready for production and cheap close-in antitank weapon. ![]() Also developed by the UK during the war was the No 74 ST Grenade, popularly known as the "sticky bomb", in which the main charge was held in a sphere covered in adhesive. The Type 68 had a penetration of 50 mm of armor plating, which was astonishing for 1940. The No 68 was fired from a rifle using the Mills grenade cup launcher. The grenade facilitates this by deploying a small drogue parachute or fabric streamers after being thrown.īritain put the first anti-tank grenade into the field during the Second World War in late 1940 with the No 68 AT Grenade, which was one of the first "any" type anti-tank weapons of the shape charge or HEAT type. Because of the way shaped charges function, the grenade must hit the vehicle at an exact right angle for the effect to work most efficiently. In military terminology, warheads employing shape charges are called high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warheads. Purpose-designed anti-tank grenades generally use the shaped charge principle to penetrate tank armor, although the squash head concept is also used. While this method was used in desperation, it usually proved more dangerous to the soldier on the ground than to the crew of the tank. When tanks overran entrenchments, hand grenades could be, and were, used by infantry as improvised anti-tank mines by placing or throwing them in the path of a tank in the hope of disabling a track. By late 1940, the British had brought into production a purpose-built adhesive anti-tank grenade - known as the " Sticky bomb." It is not known if this type of improvised anti-tank grenade was ever successfully employed in combat. If successful, it caused internal spalling of the armor plate, killing or injuring the tank crew inside. ![]() The antitank sock was pulled out, the fuse lit and the sock thrown against the side of the tank turret in the hope it would stick until the explosion. Another method used by the British Home Guard in 1940 was to place dynamite or some other high explosive in a thick sock and cover the lower part with axle grease and then place the grease covered part in a suitable size tin can. Due to their weight, these were normally thrown from very close range or directly placed in vulnerable spots onto an enemy vehicle. In combat, after arming, the grenade was thrown on top of the slowly advancing tank where the armor was thin.ĭuring World War Two, various nations made improvised antitank grenades by putting a number of defensive high explosive grenades into a sandbag. The Germans were the first during World War One to come up with an improvised anti-tank grenade, taking their stick ("potato masher") grenade and taping two to three more of the explosive heads without the sticks to create one complete grenade. The first anti-tank grenades were improvised devices. An anti-tank grenade is a specialized explosive device to defeat heavily armored targets.

![]() Although WCVB operates under a different license, it claims the history of the former WHDH-TV as its own (a similar situation exists locally with the present-day WHDH and the former WNAC-TV ). WCVB used an old International Harvester dealership in Needham to serve as its studio facility, which the station continues to operate from to this day. so that WCVB-TV could test its equipment. However, the Herald-Traveler refused to hand over its facilities to the new channel 5, forcing the station to rent tower space for its transmitter from WBZ-TV (channel 4) during the final months of its operation, WHDH-TV was court-ordered to sign off daily at 1:00 a.m. The original WHDH-TV signed off for the last time on March 18, 1972, and was replaced by the new WCVB-TV early the next morning. The local group was led by acoustic expert Leo Beranek. ![]() ![]() Herald-Traveler Corporation fought the decision in court, but lost in 1972 and Boston Broadcasters was awarded a full license. It was also critical of the combination of the Herald-Traveler and WHDH-AM-FM-TV. The new channel 5 needed to have a different call sign (due to FCC rules at the time that stated that TV and radio stations in the same market, but with different ownership were required to have different call signs). In 1969, a local group, Boston Broadcasters, won a construction permit to build a new station on channel 5 under the callsign of WCVB-TV after promising to air more local programming than any other station in the United States at the time. As a result, WHDH-TV never had a license renewal period lasting more than six months at a time (most television licenses at the time lasted for three years). This touched off a struggle that lasted 15 years. However, almost as soon as it signed on, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) began investigating allegations of impropriety in the granting of the television station's construction permit. It was originally an ABC affiliate, but switched to CBS in 1961. The station was owned by the Boston Herald-Traveler Corporation, along with WHDH radio (850 AM, now WEEI and 94.5 FM, now WJMN). The channel 5 allocation in Boston was first occupied by the original WHDH-TV, which signed on the air on November 26, 1957. History Prior history of channel 5 in Boston (1957–1972) Since 2010, midday and weekend late newscasts, along with World News Now, are overlaid with Canadian paid programming on those providers however, the latter has carried the normal WCVB-TV feed in recent years. WCVB is also one of six Boston television stations that are carried by satellite provider Bell Satellite TV and fiber optic television provider Bell Fibe TV in Canada. Nearby Manchester, New Hampshire, is considered part of the Boston media market, making WCVB-TV part of a nominal duopoly with WMUR-TV (channel 9), that city's ABC affiliate however, the two stations maintain separate operations. The station's studios are located on TV Place (off Gould Street near the I-95/ MA 128/Highland Avenue interchange) in Needham, Massachusetts, and its transmitter is located on Cedar Street, also in Needham, on a tower shared with several other television and radio stations. WCVB-TV (channel 5) is a television station in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, affiliated with ABC and owned by Hearst Television. ![]() PHP Extension Directory : /usr/local/ampps/php-5.*/lib/extensions/ext.MySQL Default Root Password is “mysql” and is stored here : /usr/local/ampps/ampps/data/my.conf.Web Root Directory : /usr/local/ampps/www (linked to ~/demos/ampswww).MySQL Data Directory : /usr/local/ampps/var.Some notes about AMPPS packages (taken from their website): The admin panel ( lets you configure AMPPS itself (e.g., what scripts are installed, etc.). When you launch the control panel ( you can install various software packages, and basically administer the server in much the same way you might on a paid web server. When you launch AMPPS, you can immediately start the web and database servers using the graphical interface. And if you’re using a specific version of a package because the newest version got rid of a feature that you liked, npm and bower will keep track of the correct version for you.ĪMPPS is an integrated and semi-sandboxed (from default system servers) package containing the Apache web server, MySQL database server, PHP scripting language, Python scripting language, and several other packages to make your life easier. This means that someone else who wants to work on your project can get all of the dependencies installed with a single command (e.g., npm install & bower install). They are really special because they can let you keep track of what you’ve installed, and the correct versions to use, so that you can share your project with someone else (say, on GitHub), without having to package all of those components with your project. This tool runs various tasks, such as compiling your source code files, pulling in dependencies, and running a live server that watches for changed files then reloads your web browser to display the changes in real time.īower and NPM are both package managers that allow you to quickly and easily install various components that you can use in your project. Most of the demo projects use either Gulp to run various tasks. In this VM, yeoman and cookiecutter were used to install the following template packages: For example, a Yeoman generator might bundle a web framework with prebuilt HTML or CSS packages to save you the trouble of having to set up the same configuration and template files every time you start a new project. ![]() Yeoman and Cookiecutter are tools that will set up the basic files needed for starting new projects using a combination of different software packages. ![]() It additionally contains a number of software package managers (npm, pip, rubygems) and software packages to support the demonstration web frameworks/applications, including the Yeoman and Cookiecutter generators for quickly scaffolding out new apps. The virtual machine is preloaded with several software packages, including: It is emulating a computer with 2Gb of RAM and a 64-bit intel processor. It is set up to use Ubuntu 15.10, a linux distribution that is freely available on the internet. This virtual machine is essentially a computer that runs within your computer. I’ve put together a collection of basic framework tools on a virtual machine that you can use on your personal computer without worrying about breaking anything or getting stuck during the installation. The easiest way is to just start playing with different frameworks by following tutorials. These options let you build additional functionality into your blog, such as calendar applications, database interaction, etc. If you want more control over how the blog functions, you might want to try using a framework like Jekyll or Django, and then host it on GitHub or Heroku. If you like using WordPress, you should probably use a service that’s already setup for you (including a paid web host). You can use a hosted service like or the CUNY Academic Commons, or you can host your own blog. A web framework will connect your database to web pages that allow people to view, interact, and maybe modify the data, and then serve it all over the internet. Let’s say you want to build a web application that lets people interact with a database that you developed. These pieces work together to listen for a web request (e.g., load Google Maps for a given address), process the request to figure out what to send back (server side processing), then send back data that a user can view and manipulate (client-side processing) like interacting with the google map. Web frameworks include components such as a database server, http server, backend (server-side) components, and frontend (client-side) components. A web framework is a collection of software packages, libraries, and tools that allow you to build, publish, and serve things like web sites, web applications (e.g., Google Docs, Mint), or web services (e.g., RSS, Google Maps API). ![]() They’re a little simpler than its predecessor, requiring players to head into the extras menu to enter the cheat codes.

![]() He can sit deep and control the momentum of the game, and his natural fitness, work rate and determination give the team another option further up the pitch when necessary. ![]() ![]() I signed him for 13.5 million dollars for my Man United team in FM14, and during his two seasons he made 77 appearances as either a defensive midfielder (ball-winning/half-back/anchor man) or central midfielder (ball-winning/box-to-box), with equal effectiveness, putting in solid if not spectacular performances, with average ratings of 7.01 and 7.13. With excellent tackling, solid passing, top-notch physicals that allow him to play 90 minutes twice a week without noticeable dips in performance, Nainggolan is, in a word, reliable. Tackling, Aggression, Determination, Teamwork, and Work Rate stand out. But in FM14 and FM15, for around 11 to 13 million euros, you’d get a tough-tackling and reliable midfielder whose excellent mental attributes mean he can slot into any team in any league and deliver consistent performances throughout a league campaign. The 27 year old Belgian midfielder signed a permanent contract with AS Roma earlier this summer after spending the second half of the 2014-15 season with them on loan, and so won’t come cheap in the first season of Football Manager 2016. Some of the following players might have slipped under the radar for many FM players, most may never even have been considered, but you won’t find too many players who represent value for money the way these players have for me. Average attributes on the Technical and Physical fronts can be compensated for, and then some, by strong Mentals, which are generally not as visibly reflected in transfer values.Īnd so, given that I’m always on the lookout for bargains in the transfer market when searching for defensive midfielders, I have come across a fair few excellent players who have shone in my teams, but would have gone unnoticed had I been looking for the most recognizable name or the biggest transfer value. Perhaps it’s to do with the way I play (a 4-1-2-1-2 with a narrow diamond in midfield, and wing-backs instead of full-backs), with the attacking impetus coming from the wing-backs and front three, but I’ve never looked at my defensive midfielder for anything more than basic ball retention and distribution the goal-scorers can enjoy the 7.80 average ratings. It might sound controversial, but I’ve found that if you want a strong, ball-winning presence in the middle of the park who can help connect your defense to your midfield with simple yet efficient distribution, a five million pound player bought from a lower division side can be just as effective as a 50 million pound signing from a top European team. It’s pretty fair to say that bigger transfer fees generally guarantee better attributes across the board, but my view on defensive midfielders is that you don’t need a Pogba or a Gundogan to get the job done where a Jay Spearing or James McArthur will do. However, I’ve never quite taken to the idea of splashing the cash to sign goalkeepers or defensive midfielders. Granted, signing a striker or attacking midfielder for 30 or 40 million dollars can result in the extra 10 to 15 goals a season needed to make an efficient, well-polished side world-class, and an expensive center-back may just be the player needed to provide long-term stability at the back. I’ve never enjoyed breaking the bank to sign big-money players, especially when the transfer market contains a plethora of of hidden gems waiting to be unearthed for relatively dirt-cheap transfer fees and wages. ![]() NOTE: For anyone playing Football Manager 2016, you MUST check out THIS article on 12 excellent defensive midfielders in the game, with detailed analyses of players including the likes of Kristoffer Ajer, Lucas Romero, Thiago Maia and lots more!

Why isn’t the police department enforcing the law?” (Photo by Carly Miller)ĭespite the cries of foul play, here’s what we found: Though charter buses (and commercial vehicles) are prohibited - school buses (owned, used or hired by a public or private school) are legally allowed to park on residential streets on nights and weekends only if the spots are “in front of and within the building lines of the premises of the public or nonpublic school.”, according to the New York City Department of Transportation Traffic Rules, 2017 34 RCNY 4-08(k)(6). In 2016, Isaac Kohn writes in The Yeshiva World: This problem is compounded in Borough Park, where at least 300 privately-run Yeshiva buses have led to a sharp uptick in traffic congestion. We’ve heard it from readers spanning Queens to Bergen Beach, as local politicians spin their wheels to balance the needs of schools and (a growing population of) residents alike. Perpetual fleets of buses clog traffic, spew smog into the air from minutes of idling, and eat precious parking spots. It’s a sight so common on our streets that we often don’t notice: armies of school buses parked on residential blocks on nights and weekends - when commercial vehicles are normally banned.īut for some neighbors, it’s more than an eyesore. ![]() Supports over 150 plus file types including the likes of,.It supports two of the most popular operating systems such as Mac OSX and Windows.Let’s take a look at some of the features that data rescue 5 offers to users from the get-go. Our research shows that such kind of a perk always pays off in the long-term future. The majority of the online consumers would not even want to know what a file tree is, let alone what does it do or how to go about navigating it accurately in order to search for that exact file that they require.Īpart from that, Data Rescue does enable users to officially activate their data recovery software application from the official client by taking advantage of Professional License and Standard License. Novice users are likely to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of options and file specifics. However, it is also true that the process of recovering files is not as user-friendly and/or intuitive as it potentially could be. Such a huge range of options also allow an easier life for expert users. Moreover, one can also whittle the actual process of launching a scan and then running it down via some of the most complicated and granular control options that we have come across during our research of various data recovery software applications.Īs mentioned before as well, all of this can, in reality, make it fairly easy for the user to quickly allow the given data recovery software application off in the proper direction so that it can find all the specific files that the user is actually looking for in the first place. With Data Rescue 5, users have the option of selecting everything from the actual size of any given file to the file type when the software asks them for various search parameters. Now, this is very useful for the end user not only because it makes it easy for him/her to start scanning quickly but also because a clean and simple interface makes the task of making sense of all the configuration options which are available for each given search a lot more manageable. There are very few other data recovery applications that can compete with Data Rescue 5 in this category. We have also come to know that among the best data recovery software applications, Data Rescue 5 is the one that offers users the cleanest and professional layout. Our research shows that such a short time makes Data Rescue 5 at least as far as some of the best data recovery products available in the market today. That means, from the time users go to the company’s official website to the time when they are actually running their first data recovery application deep scan, not more than five minutes would pass. If the user has a moderately modern machine then the whole installation process including the download phase should not take any more than a total of five minutes. Overall, it should be relatively a quick process. ![]() Our research shows that users should find it fairly easy to first download and then install the application on their machine. We’ll start things off with the user experience and installation process as always. What we want to take a look at in this review is whether or not all of the factors that we have mentioned in the summary section of this review are enough to earn Data Rescue 5 a spot among the best data recovery programs in the world. Not only that but it also comes with a rather clean interface.Īdditionally, it offers users extensive configuration settings. Our research shows that Data Rescue 5 is one of those data recovery applications that offer users a comprehensive set of features. Takes a long time to complete deep scans.Does not have the ability to resume/pause scans.Scanning options are very comprehensive.A large number of configuration options.File deletion features such as Secure Erase.Easy enough activation and/or install process. ![]() Please provide your Contact number when checkout so courier may contact you if you are not IN. ![]() RETURNS: Please contact us before posting the item back.

Sniffles sees Frankenstein's Monster approaching the bookworm and he yells at it to stop, causing the monster to then turn his attention to Sniffles. The Pied Piper who appeared serves a pie to the Viking who cuts a piece revealing a bunch of little blackbirds, which get out and begin to dance. None of them are aware of Frankenstein's Monster approach. Eventually, he does, and he begins to blow a horn. Mother Goose and a goose dance out of their book, three other men from books sing, and even a trio of Bo Peep-esque girls who try to encourage the worm to sing and play with them. Another boy begins to sing while other books begin to dance and come to life! ![]() They both play music together and approach a book of Nursery Rhymes. ![]() The Pied Piper then produces an instrument and begins to play it before giving a smaller one to Sniffles. This makes both men angry with the worm, as they thought it was something much, much bigger. He hides, accidentally running over the two men as Sniffles curiously studies them. Sniffles curiously watches and follows behind the three of them until the worm spots him. He tells someone else, a Viking who comes out of his own book and the two of them go to investigate. The Pied Piper goes to look until he thinks it over for a moment and realizes that the "monster" the worm saw may be very big in comparison to himself, so he backs away and refuses to go and look. The worm tells someone asleep in the book about Sniffles, making the Pied Piper think that he saw a monster or something huge. He sees a strange arm trying to look for its glasses and upon being spotted the worm quickly hides and scurries out of the books and into another one. A strange figure bursts into the object he was resting on and accidentally startles Sniffles away. One snowy, late evening, Sniffles is busy napping away. |
