IN PHOTOS: See what St. Patrick's Day looks like in London this year
The Irish spirit was alive and well in London with the pubs pulling pints of Guiness and revellers ready to dance a jig. Here's a look at what our reporters saw.

@edeverett
I haven’t tried to #resaw very wide pieces, but I would build a #jig to hold the piece tight vertically and rollers to support the weight vertically so the operator effort is merely moving the piece horizontally. Probably obvious, but there it is. I think the band blade would be a standard wide blade.

What a chance to think of Opportunty Costs (in a broad sense^4) For over ten years I went to proctore the Center Test, feeling awful and trying to talk about Eichmann.. But now I'm out of it, and get work in my place, right here in Mimata. My 84 year old neighbor and firewood friend pulled logs down the slope and taught me about "Jigu" ("HoJougu") a Japanese word that has become internationalized for techniques (rules of thumb and frameworks for better use of tools?) that Japanese people are know for..

> ジグ【治具】

〘名詞〙 ( [英語] jig 「治具」はあて字 ) 機械工作で、部品の加工位置を正確に定め、刃物や工具を正しく当てるために用いる道具。〔現代日本技術史概説（1956）〕

> Fidel Castro finds beards a practical advantage: "You don’t have to shave every day. If you multiply the fifteen minutes you spend shaving every day by the number of days in a year, you’ll see that you devote almost 5,500 minutes to shaving. An eight-hour workday consists of 480 minutes, so if you don’t shave you gain about ten days a year that you can devote to work, to reading, to sports or to whatever you like." #OpportunityCosts #機会費用
