Moreover, studying union movements ethnographically supports the argument that anthropology can provide greater appreciation of the cultural dimensions and lived experiences of activists involved in organized labour and social movements. In developed countries, the precarious and insecure position of. Japan and France pledged on Tuesday to remain committed to ensuring peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region, where China has been expanding its economic and military clout. This study seeks to contribute to the critique that although the anthropology of Japan has taken the experiences of difference and diversity seriously, the field has paid less attention to the role of social class. Comparative Studies on NEET, Freeter, and. I situate this study within a variety of critiques surrounding the fields of the anthropology of Japan, the anthropology of labour and the anthropology of social movements. A conservative estimate of the number of people now affected is 200,000, but a 2010 survey for the Japanese Cabinet Office came back with a much higher figure - 700,000. However, I also show that instilling class-consciousness in freeters is itself a complex process full of resistances, negotiations, contradictions and even rejections. Through the descriptions presented in my ethnographic chapters on these union groups, I argue that the loss of place for young irregular workers is contributing to the re-articulation of class politics and protest in post-industrial Japan. This dissertation explores some of the strategies the union movements use in attempting to cultivate class-consciousness amongst freeters and other young irregular workers that feel disaffected by the limiting circumstances of the employment system and seek to confront and change their working condition. Drawing upon twenty months of participant observation research with four union movements attempting to organize freeters and other young irregularly employed youth, I look at how these groups attempt to politically mobilize freeters. This dissertation approaches some of these sites of freeter protest ethnographically. Within the last decade, some freeters have begun to protest against jobs that many see as exploitative and as demanding as full-time positions without the added benefits and security. Discussing anti-war mobilizations, freeter unions, artists in the. However, many freeters are finding this “temporary” state difficult to move beyond. Youth Movements, Trauma and Alternative Space in Contemporary Japan published on 04. ![]() ![]() Ideally, working as a freeter is a temporary period to be replaced by full-time employment. Within Japan’s protracted economic downturn, freeters have become a complex symbol that at times are blamed, other times pitied and sometimes even celebrated for structuring their lives around jobs that are unstable, but also less demanding and potentially freeing. The subject of my dissertation is Japanese freeters, youth who work part-time or move from job to job. Japanese irregular workers in protest : freeters, precarity and the re-articulation of class

![]() Unless I missed something there were only three substantive 183 opinions this year. For a roundup of the last decade or so you might want to check out my Honest Objective Trumps Realistic Expectation – Why Tax Practitioners Should Be More Aggressive On Hobby Losses. The other important point the guide makes is that that Section 183 and the related regulations are close to unchanged from the early seventies. Therefore all of the nearly fifty years of case law remains relevant. Oddly the guide does not have much on the case law. So here is your opportunity to be ahead of the revenue agents. ![]() It is a presumption in favor of taxpayers and can't be used against them. There is a great deal of attention to the presumption outlined in Section 183(d). The presumption comes into play if there is profit in three out of five years or two out of seven in the case of horses. If somebody knows one thing about the hobby loss rules it is probably some sort of distorted version of the presumption. If you study the case law, you will find it has little practical significance. There is one very important observation about the presumption in the guide.Įxaminers cannot use IRC 183(d) as the reason for disallowing losses under IRC 183 even when the taxpayer fails to meet the presumption. The guide tells agents why their cases get pushed back by Appeals. Oddly, they seem to imply that is a bad thing. The guide encourages agents to talk directly to taxpayers rather than deal with representatives who don't have all the answers. So if you are a representative, make sure you have all the answers. ![]() I want to show you how you can make use of secure key authentication, along with scp, so you can rest assured your files are being moved back and forth securely. However, with the help of ssh key authentication, you can make that even more secure. With the scp command, you can copy files to and from a remote Linux server, through an encrypted ssh tunnel. That’s where secure copy comes into play. It would also become quite a bit harder to move files back and forth, at least with a modicum of security. Without this tool it would be quite a challenge to remotely administer those servers. Though having a duplicate copy of your condo, house, or office key made can sometimes be a challenge, often retaining an experienced key cutter or a veteran locksmith is all that is required to get the job done.Anyone that administers Linux machines knows secure shell well. To have this key copied you will have to go to a locksmith that keeps a selection of older key blanks in stock. Blanks for Schlage‘s SC6 keyway, for example, are no longer available at building centres. Old Keyįinally, if you are having trouble having your key copied it may be because your key’s particular profile is no longer widely used. If this happens, you can either take your key to a more experienced key cutter or to your local lock shop. So if you should take your key that has an odd bow to a novice key cutter, he may look at the bow, not recognize it, and assume that he does stock the blank for it. These key heads make identifying key profiles difficult. The former is a generic, square-shaped bow with a logo or image painted on it, and the latter is a bow in the shape of a symbol or sign. Key blank manufactures also sell key blanks with neutral or non-standard bows. Usually the only way around this problem is to go to the locksmith that cut you the original key and hope that he remembers cutting it for you. This prevents your local key cutter, in theory at least, from copying your key for you. Key blank manufactures like Ilco and Klassen, for example, sell key blanks with the words “Do Not Duplicate” stamped on the bow (i.e head) of the key. These keys are usually only used by people that work in large institutions, banks, and government departments. The keys that operate these locks can only be cut by the locksmiths that install them, and only in those cases when the appropriate authorization credential is presented by the key holder. Locks with reserved keyways, in addition to offering pick, bump, and drill resistance, offer the highest form of key control. Manufactures of high security keys, like the ones mentioned above, also offer locks with what are called reserved keyways. If your key operates a lock with one of these keyways, and you need more keys cut, you are best to contact the locksmith that installed it. Medeco‘s 00 keyway, CX5‘s ZOL keyway, and Schlage‘s Everest C123 keyway are all popular open keyways found in the field today. High Security Key With An Open Keywayīusiness managers and property owners that want pick, bump, and drill resistant locks, in addition to key control, sometimes buy high security locks that come with what are known as open keyways. ![]() If you have an LSA, MX10, or HS key, you will have to locate a locksmith that is registered to sell the blanks for your restricted key. These key blanks are only sold to locksmiths and security professionals registered with authorized dealers of security products and access control solutions like, for instance, the International Distribution Network. There are at least three such keys on the market today: LSA by LSDA, MX10 by GMS, and HS by Hardware Agencies. In order to help control unauthorized key duplication property owners and business managers sometimes use what are called locksmith-only or restricted keys. So if your key operates an I/C cylinder, your best bet is to track down one of these locksmiths. ![]() Distinguishing between these profiles is challenging and can best be done by a locksmith who specializes in installing and servicing I/C cylinders. Best keys, for example, come in more than two dozen different profiles. The keys for these cylinders are sometimes difficult to get copied because they come in multiple profiles (or sections). Best, Falcon, and Arrow, among others, all manufacture I/C cylinders for the North American market. In order to facilitate rapid lock rekeying some store and factory owners buy Interchangeable-Core cylinders. In this blog post I will discuss what each of these types of keys are and where you can go to get them copied. If you are having trouble getting your key copied at your preferred superstore or local hardware store it is probably because you have an I/C key, a locksmith-only key, a high security key, a DND key, an old key, or a key with an unusual bow. So there's an app that shows your ultimate festival line up based on listens. Festify lets you visualize your own Coachella lineup based on your listening habits on Spotify. Honestly, I'm surprised this works, and I'm wondering if I'm going to get any flaky side effects by working around it this way. Unholy Space being my top artists of all time I'd attend that, and even my past 6 months listening, ForestFest 2019 looks awesome. If I open up the Spotify app while using Festify, it shows a Listening on Festify banner like any other non-local playback, and the volume control on it actually affects the Festify playback volume! I did, however, find a workaround for now, I'm just not sure of its stability/reliability: I saw issue #133, where a volume control UI was discussed, but deprioritized because of a lack of anywhere sensible to put it.īut since Zoom support can't seem to help me beyond "use audio sharing, if it's too loud turn down the volume at the source", it's kind of a necessity if I want to keep having music (which I do!). Just be aware the app is drawing from your personal Spotify data. The problem with that is, it's now IMPOSSIBLY LOUD again, because I have no opportunity to intercept that signal and turn the volume down. Simply head to the Instafest site, log on to your Spotify account and voila. So I have to abandon the "music as microphone" approach, and switch to doing it this way (which admittedly is a feature I didn't know existed until now): ![]() I can't really seem to convince support that a bug has been introduced, though, so □♂️.) (I guess with this "background noise suppression setting" feature they rolled out, they must have tweaked some of the underlying dsp code such that it applies some noise gating or something, despite Turn On Original Sound being engaged.

Don't answer that - there's a website for that now! As the party host, you can control Festify using your Smartphone (or from any other device) by logging in with the same Spotify account that was used to create the party. Admin Mode includes skipping, deleting tracks from the queue and pausing the player if needed. Or, if you are me, your personalized lineup includes a One Direction reunion and solo sets from three out of five members. The legends behind Festify have put together a neat tool which analyses your Spotify listening habits, and crafts you three bespoke festival line-ups - based on the artists you've listened to most over the past month, six months or all time.

If you need to add a liquid to the chocolate to be melted, never use water as it will make the chocolate virtually impossible to work with.Bring a pot of water to boil, place a larger glass bowl of chocolate on top and stir consistently until the chocolate is melted.

In addition, other parts will be basically Arduino and accelerometer, so I will set these in almost the same configuration as last time. Therefore, this time we’ll be using MG996R servo motor, which has nearly 5 times the torque although the operation speed will be slightly delayed/slow. Although the servo motor SG90 I used before was inexpensive and easy to use, clearly, the torque was not enough. It also didn’t have enough torque needed for the smartphone.įor this reason, I would like to first go over the required specifications before moving forward.įirst, let’s look at the servo motor.

I also added a small extension onto the bottom of the cross-guard. (see picture 6)ħ) Clean up your lines to make it clear what you are going to cut. Draw curved freehand lines to connect the marks from the last step on the bottom guideline to the ends of the line you just made. Make a 1" perpendicular line centered on the bottom of the mid line. (see picture 5)Ħ) Extend the mid line down 1/2" below the bottom guideline. Draw a freehand rounded line from the marks to the point in the middle of the M shape. (see picture 4)ĥ) Measure 1 1/2 inches along the bottom guideline centered on the mid line and mark the ends. Draw a freehand curved line from the outer corner of the bottom guideline on both sides to the mark you just made. Measure 1/4" up from the very bottom guideline along the mid line and make a mark. You should have a diamond shape nestled in the middle of the M shape now. From where this line meets the M shape on both sides, make a line up to the top of the mid line. Make a line perpendicular to the mid line here until it reaches the M shape from the last step. (see picture 3)Ĥ) Measure 1" down from the very top guideline along the mid line and make a mark. Connect these 5 point with a slightly curved freehand line in a sort of M formation. At the top guideline that you just made, on both side measure out 1" from the mid line and make a mark. Also make a mark where this guideline intersects with the mid line. ![]() Where the bottom guideline that you just made touches the outer edge that you made in step 2, make a mark. Lightly mark out lines perpendicular to the mid line at these points. (see picture 2)ģ) On the mid line, mark a 1/2" from the top and the bottom. Draw a smooth curve to connect the marks you made on the top and bottom guidelines. Draw a smooth curve to connect the very ends of the top to the bottom guidelines. On each end of the bottom guideline, measure in 3/4" and make a mark. (see picture 1)Ģ) On each end of the top guideline, measure in 1 1/4" and make a mark. Make a 4" perpendicular line centered at the bottom of the mid line, this is the bottom guideline. Make a 7" perpendicular line centered at the top of the mid line, this is the top guideline. Example: If the length of the line is 4" and it is centered on the middle line, set up your ruler so that the 2" mark lines up with the mid line, then mark the 4" from 0" to 4" (2 " will be on either side of the mid line)ġ)Start by drawing your mid line. What you should do to make sure that your line is centered is take the length of the line and half it to determine where it should line up on the middle line. Often throughout this project, you will see a measurement for a line and that it is centered on a mid line. This piece is going to require a lot of measurements again, as well as connecting some point with freehand curved lines. That way when you cut out your piece and glue it together, the matte and easier to paint side will be facing outwards. If you are using cardboard that has a shiny side make sure that you are tracing onto that side. This is much faster, but it is not as precise. The fast way is to take your first blade, place it on top of your new piece of cardboard and trace its outline. The slow way is to make the second blade like you made the first, with a lot of measuring and sketching. It is not necessary for you to outline your edges before you cut, just make sure you know what lines you will be cutting and that they are clear.Ĥ) You will need a second blade piece. In the fourth picture, I outlined what I would be cutting in black marker to make it easier for you to see in the picture. You will now fill those in.įorm the point of the sword by connecting the point at the start of the midline with both the parallel lines at 1".Ĭonnect the gaps in parallel lines from 13" to 14" and 17" to 18".ģ) Cut out the outline of the blade. You will notice that there are some gaps along the edge of the blade. The following list below will tell you how far away the parallel line should be away from the midline. You will now be drawing parallel lines on either side of the midline to map out where the edges of the blade will be. To make the next step easier, you may want to write a little number next to each inch that you marked off along the midline. If your box is longer than mine you will only want to mark off 19 inches to use.Ģ)The first line you drew is the midline down the blade. You can see in the first picture that I marked where the blade will start and end with a black dot. You aren't going to be using the first and last inch along this line. Next, mark off the inches along this line. ![]() Using a long ruler, draw a line from corner to corner. 1) Open up one of your large cardboard boxes and lay it flat. They do not have any sharp edges so they cannot be used for hunting game as they won’t be able to cause enough internal damage to quickly kill the animal. Field PointsĪlso known as “Target points,” field points are exactly for that – target practice. There are two primary types of arrowheads, and one of them is split further into 3 main sub-types. When buying crossbow bolts they will always have a set of fletchings glued to them. As a general rule, the longer the arrow shaft, the longer the fletchings, and vice versa. More traditional fletchings are made from bird feathers, however these are never used on crossbow bolts.įletchings vary in length, and there is no “perfect” length to look for. Modern bolts have 3 fletchings, made from a form of plastic you might hear them referred to as vanes on occasion. Fletchings will cause the bolt to spin around its axis during flight, increasing stability. Fletchingsįletchings are these little “wings” you’ll find at the back of the bolt, very close to to nock, and they serve the following purposes: to stabilize the trajectory of the bolt mid-flight, help it keep going in the proper direction, and to prevent it from pitching or swaying to the left or right. Check out these top carbon arrows rankings to get info on which types of nocks go best with some of the better arrows out there. If uncertain, give your manufacturer a call or send them an e-mail to find out what type of nock you need before purchasing new bolts. Barnett for example always recommends using half-moon nocks. The half-moon nock has a groove that you will need to align with your string before you can fire the bolt.ĭifferent manufacturers have different recommendations for the type of nocks that should be used on bolts fired from their crossbows. There are two primary types of nocks to be found on crossbow bolts: the half-moon (top image on the left), and the flat nock (bottom image). The purpose of a nock is to keep the bolt in place as you line up for the shot. The nock is made from either plastic or aluminum in most cases, and it is attached to the back of the shaft. So in the above example, the shaft weight is 300 x 0.0648 = ~19.44 grams. You can then convert that weight into grams if you like by simply multiplying the grain weight by 0.0648. ![]() So if the shaft is rated at 15 GPI, and the total length of the shaft is 20 inches, then the total weight of the shaft is 15 x 20 = 300 grain. The weight of the bolt shaft is expressed in “grains.” When buying a new set of bolts, the manufacturer will either provide the total weight in grains (for example: 350), or he may simply provide you with a GPI value, which is short for “Grains Per Inch.” If only the latter is provided, you can calculate the total weight by multiplying the length of the shaft in inches by its GPI. The more resistant to bending an arrow is, the more “spine” it is said to have. Shafts come with varying degrees of stiffness that stiffness is referred to as the “spine” of the bolt. A combination of both these materials is sometimes used as well. Most modern crossbow arrows are made from either aluminum or carbon these materials are light-weight, do not splinter, and are very resistant to bending. The shaft is the main “body” of an arrow, and it is to the shaft that all other elements of the (mentioned below) are attached. Slightly longer arrows are usually fine, shorter ones are not because the tip could interfere with the crossbow rail (the groove where the arrow goes).Ī crossbow arrow is made up of the following parts: The Shaft All crossbows come with a recommendation from the manufacturer regarding the length of the arrows you should use when purchasing new arrows, you should make sure that they are the same length as recommended. Most crossbow arrows are 16″ to 22″ in length, with the average being 20 inches. For the sake of simplicity, we’ll refer to it as a arrow in this article. Linguistically speaking, however, whenever someone talks about crossbow bolts or arrows, they are usually speaking of the same thing. ![]() Technically speaking, a bolt has no stabilizing vanes near the back, while an arrow always does. Both definitions are correct, however the word “bolt” can only be used in conjunction with a crossbow (never with a regular bow). Some people refer to the crossbow projectile as a bolt, while others call it an arrow. “Arrows” or “Bolts”? What’s The Difference? Make sure to check out our best crossbow recommendations as well.

Important Note: Please remember that the weight of your arrows can have a significant impact on accuracy and sighting-in. |
