It’s the season for slippery streets and sidewalks, when just the simple act of walking from Point A to Point B can be an exercise in treachery.

With that in mind, a Grand Forks-based company has a simple, lightweight solution in the form of its DueNorth All Purpose Traction Aids. Available in small, medium and large sizes for both men and women, the devices feature tungsten carbide spikes on the soles and slip over boots or shoes to provide protection against slipping and sliding on even the iciest of surfaces.

Made of a durable rubber that retains elasticity in all temperatures, the traction aids are available in “Everyday,” “All Purpose” and “All Purpose Oversized” styles. Whether it’s ice fishing, running, working at an outdoors construction site or just stepping out to get the mail, Sure Foot’s traction aids will eliminate the need for walking like a penguin when shuffling across icy surfaces.

“People are able to decide which product is better for their needs, depending on how they plan to use them,” Jon Larson, president of Sure Foot, said in a news release.

JAN. 3, 2013 - Myanmar celebrates today its Independence Day, which commemorates the country’s freedom in 1948. Usual celebrations include a seven-day fair at Kandawgyi Lake in Yangon.

Myanmar is endowed with rich natural resources. It has approximately 250 commercially useful kinds of trees. Mineral deposits include lead, zinc, tin, tungsten, coal, iron core, natural gas, and petroleum, as well as deposits of precious stones such as rubies and lapis lazuli. The government is opening up its economy, and has intensified its economic cooperation with its ASEAN neighbors as well as with China and Japan.

Several agreements have been signed between the Philippines and Myanmar. They include a Memorandum of Understanding on a package of Assistance for Human Resource Development for Myanmar, a Memorandum of Understanding on Visa Exemption for Holders of Diplomatic and Official Passports, an Agreement for the Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investments, and an Agreement on Cultural Cooperation.

On June 15, 2012, the second Joint Commission on Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC) between the Philippines and Myanmar was held. The JCBC serves as a venue to discuss areas of mutual interest at a ministerial level. The Foreign Affairs Ministers of the two countries met and discussed political cooperation, trade and investments, education, human rights, agriculture and forestry, tourism, culture and information.

Online men’s jewelry store JustMensRings.com has recently introduced new wedding bands and fashion rings from the Benchmark black diamonds for men collection. These upscale bands have a decidedly masculine look that is already proving to be popular with customers, and are backed by Benchmark’s quality-driven production process and Lifetime Guarantee.

Jensen Beach, FL (PRWEB) January 03, 2013

Building on the popularity of its pre-existing collection of men’s diamond rings, online jewelry superstore JustMensRings.com (JMR) has recently added new black diamond styles from the designer brand Benchmark. Ultra-masculine yet undeniably luxurious, the selection of Benchmark black diamonds for men is an eye-catching addition to JustMensRings.

JMR’s dedication to carrying a wide and varied selection of higher end designs is evident in the new styles of Benchmark black diamonds for men. Set in precious metals like 950 platinum and 14K white gold as well as more affordable contemporary materials like cobalt chrome and Argentium silver, the designs in the Benchmark black diamond collection range from more traditional wedding bands to strikingly modern designs to classic eternity styles.

JustMensRings carries the Benchmark designer brand exclusively, and has a long-held partnership with the U.S. based manufacturer. Benchmark is known for an extreme attention to detail in the design and production processes, which includes die striking each ring, precision setting diamonds for a secure display that showcases each stone, and ensuring that each diamond ring passes through multiple operations and quality inspection points.

“We’ve had an incredible response to our new selection of Benchmark black diamond rings,” notes JMR president and owner Roy Devine. “Men love the element of luxury and the fact that they’re so different from traditional white diamonds.”

At the 29th Chaos Communication Congress (29C3) in Hamburg, Berlin-based security researchers Karsten Nohl and dexter presented a custom-built workstation for "microprobing" semiconductor chips. Comparable in-depth analysis tools such as those for microcontrollers and similar small computer systems often cost several tens of thousands of pounds and have so far mostly only been available in specialised labs. This type of analysis involves examining a chip's individual conductor wires or memory cells with a microscope-like setup and a very thin probe. The "probing device" enables examiners to, for example, record data and command sequences by intercepting bus signals.

Dexter explained that the custom-built workstation consists of a fixed-position microscope that can cope with large working distances to what it is working on, a large magnetic work platform, and a micropositioning system. The micropositioner is a motor-driven stage that can be moved in increments of a few millimetres to a few centimetres. Hardened tungsten needles are required on the microscope's tip to create the electrical contact with the semiconductor material. According to Nohl, who runs Security Research Labs, the overall component cost is no more than €3,000 (approximately £2,440) and will, for the first time, allow interested amateurs to do "microprobing in their basement".

The presented workstation uses a movable stage and micropositioner to place the chip that is to be examined underneath the fixed-position microscope's lens barrel; a tungsten needle is used as a probe Zoom.
