Five major London stations are due to be fully or partially shut during the festive season.
Christmas travel will be affected by the "biggest ever" planned holiday works this year, causing chaotic journeys for many festive journeys. With Paddington, Liverpool Street, Charing Cross, Waterloo and Cannon Street all affected. Those travelling in the South East and West will be worst hit.
The Rail Delivery Group, the representative organisation for Britain's rail companies, said that journeys would be "severely affected." Meanwhile Network Rail, the body charged with responsibility for the UK's railway network, said the works schedule was one of the "biggest ever" to take place over the Christmas period.
Though the works have not yet been formally announced, the Mirror.co.uk reported that there were to be no trains serving the West of England from Paddington station between December 24 and 29. Liverpool Street station will see works between December 24 and January 2, with no journeys taking place on the East Anglian main line over that period. No trains will serve Stanstead Airport on January 1 or 2.
The Rail Delivery Group confirmed: "Major improvement work this Christmas will severely affect journeys to and from London Paddington, London Liverpool Street, London Charing Cross, London Cannon Street, Manchester and Cardiff."
Though Network Rail said that undertaking vital works during the festive period caused minimal disruption, because less commuters were affected, it conceded disruption was possible. It advised passengers to check before they travelled on the rail network over the festive season.
Meanwhile ongoing issues affecting Southern Rail looked likely to cause more problems in the run-up to Christmas. The Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) confirmed it would ballot members in the coming weeks over strike action in response to its controversial plans for driver-only trains.
RMT also said it would ballot London Underground staff for strike action in response to cuts to station staff that it said "compromised safety." The statement cited the recent terror alert at North Greenwich station as an example of the "urgency of the current situation."

The 126 files in this series document a range of gold jewellery produced by the KDW precious metals department over the period of 1969 to 1984. The documentation is in the form of slides, photographs and negatives. The items depicted in this collection include: rings, earrings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets and brooches. Other items that feature in this collection are designs for a trophy and a chain of office. The lack of client names on the original record sheets suggests that the majority of gold jewellery produced by the KDW was for sale in the Kilkenny shops, as indicated on the reverse of some photographs within the series.
The KDW gold jewellery depicted in this series was created by what was originally known as the silversmithing workshop in the early 1960s, and therefore shares a similar administrative history to the Silver Jewellery and Silver Holloware series.
The silversmithing workshop was the first workshop to be opened by the KDW in 1963, set up by the first employee, Michael Hilliar, who studied his craft in Belfast College of Art and the Central School of Art, London. Hilliar was recorded as the principal designer of the metal articles shown at the first ever KDW exhibition in 1965, with some other pieces designed by Bertel Gardberg, David Reeves and Oisin Kelly. Extensive metal production did not officially begin until 1966, when the Berlin born designer Rudolf Heltzel was invited by CTT (Coras Tractala) to manage the workshop alongside the Finnish designer Bertel Gardberg. Gardberg was credited with laying the foundations of the Finnish silversmithing industry, and was a prolific designer in the KDW undertaking work in wood, wrought iron and ceramics as well as silver. Heltzel is credited with initiating an apprenticeship scheme within the department and establishing proper training facilities for apprentices. Heltzel is one of the most documented jewellers associated with the KDW in the national press though he only stayed with the KDW for two years. Although this series features only three examples of his gold jewellery designs, his role in initiating the apprenticeship scheme was crucial to the success of jewellery making and training in Ireland thereafter. Heltzel devised a silversmithing and jewellery course under the aegis of the Kilkenny Vocational Education Committee in association with the jewellery manufacturing firm Rionore of Kilkenny Ltd. As part of this course, apprentices spent four days per week in the workshop and one day at a vocational school learning technical drawing and mathematics for alloying precious metals. The KDW essentially became a national facility for apprenticeships in precious metals and examination procedures were officially recognised by the Department of Education. This secured the precious metal department as one of the longest running production facilities in the KDW over the history of the workshops. As a result, the standard of apprentices were very high, and many went on to win the national apprenticeship competition. Some of these winners went further and took part at international apprenticeship level. When they first entered the international competition in 1968, the Irish competitor came last. However in 1969 the Irish competitor came twelfth out of 18 and in 1970 they came fifth, indicating the KDW's dedication to training was successful.
The gold jewellery series is almost one third of the size of the silver jewellery series, reflecting the consumer's preference for silver jewellery, a less expensive option. Many of the items depicted in the gold jewellery series are engagement rings or wedding bands.
Designer Franz Bette reveals a preference for rose gold in four out of his six designs in this series, all of which are rings incorporating another stone such as pearl, ivory, diamonds and aquamarine. One of the rose gold rings includes an aquamarine stone with three diamonds, and is dramatically asymmetrical in style with extruding elements. Although not recorded as part of this series, Franz Bette won first prize in the 1968 De Beer Diamonds International Awards for his hair ornament, which incorporated diamonds, rubies and pearls on a gold shield.
Similar to the Silver Jewellery series, two of the most prolific designers documented in this series are Markus Huber and Max Andersen. Samples of Huber's designs in this series represent the period from 1970 to 1971 and encompasses a wide variety of styles and finishes. Huber's designs contrast between chunky, angular designs to soft, round designs. Some of his yellow gold items are combined with a white glossy material called cassine creating a contrasting tonal quality, and on another ring design Huber combines white pearls with black pearls for visual contrast. Max Andersen's designs in this series represent the period from 1971 to 1972. Similar to his silver jewellery designs, Andersen's rings are predominantly large and chunky, using precious and semi-precious stones. Many rings designed by Andersen feature a combination between hollow or solid cylinders, which are fused together within the confines of a larger cylinder. No designer is credited for approximately 32 items within this series, however many of the rings are similar in style to Max Andersen's designs and it is possible that they were designed by him.
Another designer whose work is well documented within the gold jewellery series is Des Byrne, a qualified silversmith who joined the KDW in 1968 from a commercial company in Dublin. This series showcases his gold designs from 1971 to 1984, with many examples of traditional solitaire engagement rings and simple wedding band designs. The collection also includes some of Byrne's chunky ring designs, such as one yellow gold ring which featured four diamonds and four rubies on the surface of eight alternating square levels. Byrne was the 1983 RDS prize winner for one of his gold ring designs.
Other designers whose work is documented in this series include Gunter Hartmann and Liam Costigan. Three out of the four ring designs by Gunter Hartman are more restrained in style than his silver jewellery examples, two featuring simple square faced designs with green tourmaline or black spectrolite stone, another features a simple circular design with a raised sapphire stone setting. His final design is reminiscent of his intricately designed silver rings, this example in white gold with a large sapphire and 6 diamonds is free-formed and organic in style, with interweaving strands. Liam Costigan has two designs featured in this series, both made in 1978. One is an 18 carat yellow gold eternity band with 8 diamonds, the other design is a simple yellow gold solitaire set with a diamond.
Other work illustrated in this series include a gold horse-shoe shaped trophy on a spherical glass base by an unknown designer, and a chain of office designed for the Society of the Irish Motor Industry in 9 carat gold with inscriptions on the individual links. This 1976 chain of office was designed by Peter Dabinett, a designer in the KDW graphic design department. A set of cufflinks were designed for the National Film Studios of Ireland using their spiral motif which was also designed by the graphic design department of the KDW. Another two designs by unidentified makers are modelled on Irish Iron Age jewellery using the repoussee technique of concentric circles. Finally Jim Kelly produced a single gold bangle featuring Celtic patterns in 1979.

This is my favorite meal of the day, specially when my little one is asleep. Who am I kidding, she wakes up before anyone in the neighborhood and I have yet to experience the feeling of having breakfast in peace.
However my two year daughter’s pickiness as well as my husband’s dietary restrictions (placed by me) has given birth to the extremely creative child in me. So here is what I serve for breakfast and yes my toddler has approved it which makes this list so special and close to my heart.
These are extremely easy to make. The best part is you can twist and turn this recipe as much as you want. You can make it from scratch or use leftovers. You can freeze them or eat them all. Even writing about these makes me want to go and grab one from the freezer. Just reheat them for 30 seconds or more and you on-the-go breakfast is ready.
Wow! who would have thought almond flour pancakes would taste so heavenly. These are full of protein and can be eaten with Walden farms zero calorie syrup. You can add a bit of the sweetener or these Lily’s dark chocolate chips for some variation.
For this simply make an omelette with cheese and sausages and add your favorite keto friendly vegetables. I love to add Serrano pepper for a nice hot flavor. If you do not have sausages, any kind of leftover meat would do.
These look beautiful on the plate. Fry two eggs, sunny side up, add a sliced avocado and two sausages for some more protein.
We love to play with the fluffy cloud bread. Eat it with butter or make grilled cheese sandwiches with it.
Boil two eggs mix them with half cup of mayo and some shredded chicken. Season with your favorite spices and add cabbage if you want. Your perfect egg salad is ready! Wrap it in lettuce or eat as is.
Share your favorite keto breakfast recipes! I would love to try it out!

Digital transformation, increased computing ability, smart hardware and the growth of connectivity capabilities created a perfect storm of accelerated industry, and many were left scrambling to sift through the large amounts of information and solutions available. With that in mind, we wanted to provide some advice for companies across the industrial sector for the best ways to optimize operations for the Industrial IoT.
1) Upgrade your network and throughput capabilities.
Nothing can kill the ROI of automated processes more quickly than the literal inability to function. It’s important to understand that as you upgrade machinery and invest in the software to run it all, those systems demand greater bandwidth in order to effectively utilize the big data and analytics capabilities. Several options exist, but for most companies some combination of industrial-strength broadband (WiFi), narrow-band, cellular and RF communications will create the most effective network for the needs.
2) Invest in smart hardware.
This may seem like a no-brainer, and really, in the not-too-distant future, you may not even have a choice, but the shift toward Fog Computing is gaining momentum and being able to run decentralized computing between hardware and the Cloud can not only create greater operational efficiency, but it can also allow your data transmission to run more smoothly as well. The beauty of a Fog Computing system is that it allows a greater number of devices to transmit smaller data packets, which frees up bandwidth and speeds real-time data analytics. The core of this lies in the smart hardware.
3) Be proactive about application development.
Smart hardware means that it has the ability to host applications designed specifically for your needs. Previously, many companies shied away from app development because it required highly skilled developers and devices capable of hosting those apps – a combination that wasn’t readily available. Today, the scene has changed. With the rise of Node-RED, it is much easier today to create proprietary applications without a computer engineering degree, and any company serious about leveraging IIoT technology needs to be able to to use the full scope of its data.
There isn’t much more to be said about the importance of cybersecurity. If the last few years of massive data breaches haven’t rung alarm bells, then you aren’t paying attention. Cybersecurity today is a multi-layered need. Most companies building smart hardware are beginning to build encryption directly into the devices. But, since many companies use Cloud applications for computing and analytics, it is important to invest in strong security measures at that level as well. Unfortunately, the sophistication of cyber-attacks are only going to increase, along with the increase in importance of the data needing to be protected. It pays to be paranoid and act accordingly.

OTTAWA—If Canada were to pursue energy efficiency improvements more aggressively, it could reduce its energy consumption by up to 15 per cent by 2035.
This is according to a new Conference Board of Canada report, which has Canada ranked among the most energy-intensive of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries, as well as among the highest greenhouse gas emitters per dollar of GDP produced.
The report finds key areas for energy savings potential include lighting, space heating and household electronics for residences, while in the commercial sector, lighting, computer and HVAC equipment hold the most promise.
The Conference Board says that in Canada, electricity and natural gas utilities are largely responsible for the implementation of energy efficiency measures and the largest efficiency improvements will result from their actions, such as incentive programs to install energy efficient equipment or appliances, conducting energy audits, and performing energy efficient retrofits.
The report says the measures could also include a broader suite of policy instruments, such as land-use measures, equipment and building performance standards, and renewable subsidies.
“While energy efficiency is associated with several benefits, energy efficient measures have not been fully adopted to the extent that it would be economically efficient to do so, in part due to market and consumers behavioural failures,” said Len Coad; research director; Energy, Environment and Transportation Policy; The Conference Board of Canada.
The National Energy Board expects that Canada’s energy demand will continue to grow at an average annual rate of 0.7 per cent, reaching 13,868 petajoules by 2040.
The Conference Board says applying a range of energy efficiency improvements could result in as much as a 15 per cent reduction in energy consumption forecasted by the NEB.
However, the report says that the contribution of energy efficiency policies to halting climate change will be smaller. Electricity in Canada currently comes from sources that are approximately 80 per cent renewable or that are very low emission, and this could be near 100 per cent by 2035.
The Conference Board says the most important contribution energy efficiency gains can make in the fight against rising global temperatures is to reduce the need for hydrocarbons to provide heat.

Can Battery Storage Save You £2,600?
It’s the Holy Grail of home owners who have invested in solar panels – the ability to store power to be used once the sun is not shining.
A growing number of households, thought to range within the few thousands, are using high-tech batteries that store up solar power to use at nighttime.
Currently, solar panels produce “free” electricity as it is being generated, however if home owners want power at midnight, the energy is drawn from the National Grid and purchased from their energy provider as usual.
Used in conjunction with efficient solar panels the new devices may cut bills by 60%, manufacturers claim.
But specialists are more sceptical. Some have dismissed the gadgets as “overpriced and oversold”, because savings are off out by the £2,600 outlay of buying and installing one of the batteries, as well as frequently replacing internal batteries.
The batteries, are the size of a dishwasher and designed to go within the kitchen, just like the one pictured below, and silently charge up throughout sunny spells, watching whether or not electricity is flowing in or out of the house. The box itself contains a group of rechargeable batteries.
As soon as solar panels stop delivering in power, they flip to “discharging mode” and start to power appliances within the home.
When was the most effective time to buy star panels?
This means the “base level” of consumption in a very home – the continuing use of a electronic equipment, as an example, or a set-top box – is usually powered from solar power instead of from the grid.
In theory, the device cancels out the value of running little gadgets and appliances – that push up energy bills perpetually sapping power.
The hungriest device is a wireless router, cost accounting £21.92 a year whereas on standby, according to energy firm Ecotricity. alternative expensive devices include a desktop computer left on standby (£3.65), keeping a mobile charger plugged in (£2.44) additionally as an electrical toothbrush charger (£1.22) and a child’s night light (73p).
The Powervault fits alongside your kitchen appliances and switches to “discharge” mode if you need further energy.
Even throughout the day, if you would like a burst of energy to power an oven or kettle, as an example, the device flips to “discharge” mode.
Surplus energy would preferably be exported back to the grid.
A household can save 50% on energy bills by using solar panels however may save 60% if they conjointly use an electric battery system, in line with Powervault’s calculations.
But the price of the battery might quickly eliminate these savings.
The units themselves usually last fifteen years and also the internal battery has got to get replaced each 5 years, at a price of £500. as well as the capital outlay, meaning your annual value over fifteen years is £233.
But having a shower or golf stroke the kettle on might quickly drain the batteries, consultants warn, which means they’ll want exchange a lot of quickly.
Battery costs might fall within the future, as prices have already fallen by 40% within the last year, in keeping with figures from Renewable Economy, an energy-efficiency analysis centre based mostly in Australia.
The financial gain home house owners earn from solar panels, referred to as the “feed-in-tariff”, are going to be unaffected by the batteries. Currently, house owners square measure paid cash for each “kilowatt hour” of electricity their star panels turn out.
They earn 4.07p per kWh for all alternative energy generated, and 50% of this gets an extra 4.89p per kWh. this can be as a result of you’re assumed to use 1/2 the electricity you generate and export the opposite 0.5 to the National Grid. The exported electricity gets a 4.89p “bonus” payment.
Installing solar panels in southern European nation, as an example, usually saves £135 a year in energy bills aboard and financial gain of £600 a year in feed-in-tariff and export tariff payments.
Scottish households save slightly less – £110 a year on energy bills & financial gain of £500, in keeping with the Energy Saving Trust. you’ll estimate the financial gain from solar panels in your home with a web calculator.
The solar battery might, in theory, improve on the energy bill saving of £110-£135. It will not increase solar array financial gain or improve electricity generation.
People can still place confidence in the grid – the batteries merely do not store enough to power high-consumption appliances, aforesaid Chris Rudge, a alternative energy skilled at YouGen, a web community for home house owners with renewable devices.
Costs are falling as huge firms be part of the market, as well as Bosch, the house appliance maker.


text: City Rail Link aims to set the benchmark for delivering sustainable infrastructure in New Zealand. The project has established a carbon foot printing programme on its first two contract packages to identify opportunities and actions for reducing energy emissions. From replacing diesel generators with grid-connected transformers to training haulage drivers in fuel-efficient techniques, CRL’s initiatives are expected to reduce energy emissions by over 2,000 tonnes – a 29% reduction project is on target to achieve its goals, while also reducing costs and saving time.

I just bent my wheel and am probably going to need a new one built. Can I reuse my old, 3 months, spokes in the new wheel. The guy at the shop gave me some mumbo jumbo about tensioning or something.
There is no reason why you should not reuse the spokes of your relatively new wheel. The reason a bike shop would not choose to do this is that they do not know the history of your spokes and do not want to risk their work on unknown materials. If you are satisfied that the spokes are good quality, you should definitely use them for you new wheel. The spokes should, however, not be removed from the hub, because they have all taken a set peculiar to their location, be that inside or outside spokes. The elbows of outside spokes, for instance, have an acute angle while the inside spokes are obtuse.
There are a few restrictions to this method, such as that new rim must have the same effective diameter as the old, or the spokes will be the wrong length. The rim should also be the same "handedness" so that the rim holes are offset in the correct direction. This is not a fatal problem, because you can advance the rim one hole so that there is a match. The only problem is that the stem will not fall between parallel spokes as it should for pumping convenience.
Take a cotton swab and dab a little oil in each spoke socket of the new rim before you begin. Hold the rims side by side so that the stem holes are aligned and note whether the rim holes are staggered in the same way. If not, line the rim up so they are. Then unscrew one spoke at a time, put a wipe of oil on the threads and engage it in the new rim. When they are all in the new rim you proceed as you would truing any wheel. Details of this are in a good book on building wheels.
The reason you can reuse spokes is that their failure mode is fatigue. There is no other way of causing a fatigue failure than to ride many thousand miles (if your wheel is properly built). A crash does not induce fatigue, nor does it even raise tension in spokes unless you get a pedal between them. Unless a spoke has a kink that cannot be straightened by hand, it can be reused.

That doesn’t mean most of the self-congratulation isn’t deserved.
There is no question that Rupp Arena, the convention center and the nearby Opera House are huge assets for Lexington, both economically and culturally. And the facility’s creation helped prop up downtown at a time when it and city centers across the country were struggling from the effects of suburban sprawl.
Game Changer begins with UK Coach Adolph Rupp’s retirement in 1972. The Wildcats played in Memorial Coliseum, which with 12,000 seats was much too small. Several fans who called themselves the Alley Kats began calling for a bigger arena.
But UK President Otis Singletary showed no interest. He was a football fan, focused on building Commonwealth Stadium to replace Stoll Field. Frustrated by UK’s indifference — shades of things to come — the Alley Kats looked downtown. Business and civic leaders jumped on the idea, which they saw as a vehicle for urban renaissance, and a public-private partnership was formed.
Their ambitious goal was to build the nation’s biggest (23,500 seats) and best college basketball arena, a state-of-the-art facility that also could host other events. As part of the complex, they proposed downtown’s first modern hotel and a convention center, which city leaders had wanted for decades. And if shopping malls could work in the suburbs, why not downtown?
The project grew to include renovation of the 1886 Opera House, but that became a reconstruction when the roof collapsed. Then, as now, the Opera House was controversial because it was too big for some shows and too small for others. But downtown Lexington would be a poorer place today without it, and this group was far-sighted enough to create an endowment fund to help support its operation.
The public-private partnership was risky and challenging, and people interviewed for the film tell some entertaining stories about how it all came together. In the end, everything worked, thanks to civic leaders such as Jim Host, Foster Pettit, Dewitt Hisle, Tom Dupree, Jake Graves, Linda Carey and many others.
Rupp Arena turned out to be a great basketball and concert venue. Good management and functional design have also allowed Rupp to successfully host everything from ice hockey to tractor pulls. The convention center, Hyatt Regency hotel and Opera House continue to play major roles in this city.
The Lexington Center says 1.2 million people attended events there this year, generating $19.8 million in revenue and creating an economic impact estimated at $80 million.
Game Changer covers some controversial aspects of Lexington Center’s creation, but no critics appear in the film. We hear only from defenders.
The 1970s practice of shutting the public out of the decision-making process for such a major public facility would never pass muster today. Neither would the wholesale destruction of an historic neighborhood occupied mostly by poor black people in order to create a 20-acre parking lot. And rightfully so.
As the Lexington Center Corp. looks for financial support for its expansion plans, it faces several challenges, some of which have been there since the beginning.
The original design crammed too much into too small a space. The shopping mall has always struggled. Redeveloping that sea of asphalt — and building the parking structures the complex should have always had — present both challenges and opportunities for the future.
Game Changer tells a good story, but it’s not the whole story.

Carrying a baby using a simple piece of cloth or animal skin has been a way of raising children for thousands of years. It was a way of life to keep babies safe and give them a sense of belonging and nurturance. Baby carrying made it possible to take care of the family and take care of oneself. It also ensured access to nutrition on demand.
A mother's need to bond and nourish the relationship with her the baby is crucial for human existence. Keeping baby close, especially skin-to-skin releases the powerful hormone oxytocin that enhances a mother’s postnatal well-being, which translates into baby’s wellbeing and calmness. It is also vital for establishing breast-milk demand-supply production.
Historically, babies were carried on the front, the back, or the hip, always facing parent. We at Helina Baby align with the attachment parent philosophy and the historical way of carrying. We encourage parents to continue the steps of our ancestors as there is wisdom in their methods of raising children.
When carrying, your infant must be Visible and Kissable. Baby’s face should be uncovered at all times. Sleeping hoods should only be used to support your baby’s head during back-carry.
To avoid strain on your abdomen, shoulder neck and back, wear your baby high on your body at above your navel level.
When using a carrier, the safest position for your baby’s head is turned away from your body with his or her chin away from their chest. This head placement ensures an open airway. Head placement is critical, especially for newborns, since they do not have the neck strength to reposition their heads if their airways are obstructed.
It is best to carry your baby with a rounded spine so that it forms a C-shape. This C-shape is the initial state of a fetus in the womb. After birth, the spine goes through a developmental process of straightening.
Carrying babies with their legs unsupported (in the extended position) will cause the spine to straighten prematurely and does not facilitate their spinal development. Although walking indicates that the spine has finished developing, it is best that babies thighs are supported in an M-shape so that the spine can remain rounded to provide optimal comfort.
To facilitate the natural growth and development of your newborn’s hips, wear your baby with thighs supported by the carrier, knees higher than their pelvis and bent at 90 degrees. The shape of your baby’s legs and pelvis will form the letter M. Baby’s legs should be free outside the carrier.
Today we see babies carried with their legs unsupported in the extended position. Although this style of baby carrying is becoming popular, this position does not support a newborn’s hip development. It unnecessarily creates stress to the hip joints. We asked Dr Fetweiss, orthopaedic surgeon and author who has treated hundreds of babies and adults with hip dysplasia if it is okay to carry babies with their legs in the extended position. Here is what he had to say.

> One domain where this happens is project planning back from a fixed end date. The most well-known of these would be rocket launches: “T minus 10 seconds” is exactly a negative time interval from an end date.
1. You initialize with a start and negative duration. After this, the ‘end’ property becomes what you used for ‘start’ and ‘start’ is adjusted according to the interval.
2. We keep the start date to always be what you passed in but allow a negative value for timeInterval and allow for end to be < start.
Which of these would be the least confusing?
> That being said, it’s a fairly uncommon use case and I wouldn’t change the API to support it on an equivalent basis with normal forward date intervals. A separate specific initializer for it might be useful, though.
>> We had some extensive discussion about this ourselves, but we couldn’t come up with a compelling use case for a negative time interval. Can you describe how you wanted to use it?
>>> In attempting to use the new DateInterval value type to improve some existing code, I ran in to an issue where DateIntervals cannot be "reverse" intervals, which is contrary to how TimeInterval works, and somewhat confusing.
>>> I would propose that the DateInterval value type should be able to be properly initialized with any TimeInterval, as a reference date and time interval are all that is actually required in order to construct a DateInterval properly.
>>> I believe in general it is preferable to avoid preconditions that require a subset of a given input type (in this case, that TimeInterval be positive or 0), and would prefer to see an API where invalid values are properly converted from the given input to the documented output. E.g. the old “Be generous with input, strict with output” idea.
>>> I hope this is the right place to bring this up, but if not I’m happy to move the conversation to Radar or elsewhere.
