WFSB/Channel 3 for over 50 years has been naming winter storms, a tradition we’re proud to carry on today. ![]() Here are the first 5: Aspen, Birch, Cedar, Dogwood, and Elm. Given our late show of color in the autumn season, we’re going with species or types of trees. We are officially releasing our list of Winter Storm names for the ‘23-’24 season. HISTORY AND CRITERIA FOR NAMING WINTER STORMS… The week starts dry, then rain chances increase Tuesday.įirst Alert Chief Meteorologist Mark Dixon with Scot Haney The warming trend appears to peak Monday with highs between 60 and 65. ![]() Our forecast for dry weather on Saturday and Sunday continues!

Lows will range from the 20s in the usual colder spots of NW & NE CT, to near/below freezing along the shoreline.Īs we close out the week, we expect dry weather with ample sunshine. Then, we have our *FIRST ALERT* for the first hard freeze of the season tonight into tomorrow morning that will likely bring an end to the growing season. Outside of wet roads in spots, we’re not anticipating any impact from wintry precipitation. Isolated showers will be possible through early afternoon otherwise, expect a mostly cloudy sky. The first flakes of the season may mix in over the higher terrain of the Litchfield Hills. However, a weakening disturbance moving our way from the Great Lakes region will produce spotty rain showers starting as early as this morning’s commute. The track still appears to pass far enough offshore to have little/no impact on CT today.

Bridgerton character Simon Basset made viewers go wild when he was filmed seductively licking a spoon in episode three. However, the series shows a great deal more of its side characters than the books, so Shonda did ask Regé-Jean to return - an offer he declined, much to our dismay. In the second novel, Daphne and Simon aren't really mentioned all that much. The second season is placing the attention on Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and his new love interest, Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), as per the second book The Viscount Who Loved Me.

Life is too short to spend 8 hours a day dealing with apple's shit.Īside of what has said, there are other things that are also important as to why choosing macOS over Linux. Where I work I'm seemingly the only one who uses linux, and frankly if they told me I couldn't anymore I'd probably immediately quit. It also seems pretty ridiculous that corporate IT departments which are probably constantly being asked not to waste money waste tons of money on macs which are both much more expensive and a lot harder to maintain (at least for the IT department itself, I'm sure apple makes all sorts of promises to counteract this). Quoting: ExpandingManThis is very surprising to me, even though of course I personally really can't understand why anyone would choose mac over linux these days. Naturally Windows was on top both years but the gap is getting smaller overall for developers, meanwhile poor old BSD was noted to only have 1.47% personal use and 1.03% professional use. A fun point here as well though is that the survey also noted that 15% of the respondents use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) personally and 14.34% professionally. Still interesting enough to highlight though especially with the total responses being a pretty great sample size overall. So it's worth pointing out that while yes Linux use has risen quite a bit above macOS, they also had seemingly less responses on the latest survey. Personal use for macOS was at 31.07% and professional use at 32.97%. This year's survey had over 70,000 responses, and the results for 2022 show that 40.23% use Linux for personal use while 39.89% use it as a professional. At the time macOS was at 30.04% for professionals and 25.19% overall. Well this is a fun statistic, it seems Linux has become a fair bit more popular than macOS on the Stack Overflow Developer Survey for 2022.įirstly for the 2021 data, professional Linux use was at 25.17% and overall Linux use was 25.32%. ![]() ![]() It is called “the rocket popsicle” by some for its shape.

![]() ![]() It is thought that that Odachi were carried by foot soldiers and were used primarily against mounted cavalry. Odachi look in many ways similar to a Tachi, however, they are significantly larger and longer. The word Odachi roughly translated to ‘field sword’. The Odachi is a very large two-handed Japanese sword. In fact, there are several remarkable swords Japan is known for, all of which have their own well-deserved reputations. The most famous samurai who improved this art was Miyamoto Musashi.Japanese sword making goes beyond the traditional Katana. This school taught how to use both a katana and a wakizashi during a fight. The most appreciated technique of handling a katana is a school called Nitto Ryu. The most famous are: Kashima Shin-ryu, Kashima Shinto-ryu, Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu. Old schools of handling katana swords still exist. The last one is the art of dueling with bamboo or wooden sword. Today, this art is practiced in iaido and kendo martial arts. The art of handling a katana was developed in martial arts like kenjutsu and iaijutsu. This made katana available for handling any time it was needed. The blade had to have its point up, just as when wearing the sword the handle (called the tang) had to be turned to the let. This stand was used for both katana and wakizashi. Samurai kept their katana on a special stand for swords, called katana-kake. There was a tradition of wearing, taking care and taking the katana out of its scabbard. But in some case a emperor and shogun would carried one for show. A simple man with a katana sword could be killed at once. Only a samurai was allowed to have a katana. This sword was thought to be the "soul" of its master. The Katana was very important in Japanese society. To pull the katana a few inches out of its scabbard was an aggressive move signalling willingness to fight. Alternatively, the scabbard might be held freely in the left hand: in action the sword would be drawn and the scabbard thrown down. That way the sword could be drawn and cut the opponent in one movement. The sword was in its sheath or scabbard (the cover), with its blade facing up. It was used for stabbing when the katana was made for using with one hand.Īs a rule, katana was worn under the belt on the left side of a right-handed man. The katana could be easily used for cutting if it was made for using with both hands. This depended mainly on the length of the tang (the handle). Generally, katana is designed for cutting, but it was widely used for stabbing too. To determine the quality of a katana it is enough to check its resistance (how much it bends when it is hit), elasticity (the ability of katana to return to its original shape), and the endurance of the blade after striking (how long it lasts). But there are some swords made of zinc and aluminum alloys, which are able to resist some external forces and are only used for decoration or non-tameshigiri practice. Today katanas are mainly made of carbon steel of different quality. The sword is sometimes given a rough polish by the smith and then sent to a professional polisher for polishing (usually to a mirror finish). In ancient times it was said that the soul of the sword was put into the katana at this point. The most important part of the forging is the tempering, when the sword is quench-hardened. This steel is sent to a smith who breaks it down to small pieces and layers the steel according to carbon content, they smelt this in their forge and repeatedly fold the steel in order to homogenise it. Modern katana designed for the training of iaido and iaijutsu - iaitoįorging and polishing Ī traditional katana is made of a type of high carbon steel called tamahagane, which is made by smelting a type of Japanese iron ore, called iron sand, in a large furnace called a tatara.In Japanese, "katana" means a long sword and it represents a blade, which is a little curved, with a single edge and a very sharp point. until 1876, when the samurai were abolished as a social class. It is the most important sword of the three swords worn by samurai: katana, wakizashi, and tanto. A katana is a Japanese long sword used by samurai warriors. ![]() ![]() ![]() Law enforcement officials have “processed a significant amount of digital evidence today which helped lead investigators in this direction.
