at least put a watermark so others cannot claim your photos as theirs

How about like this?

Like @Jlaw says, a large watermark embedded into the picture's background would be a safer way. Otherwise, they may be easily crop or hide the signature you put there.

But, the signature version does indeed look very elegant.

How to do that watermark thing?

How to do that watermark thing?

In both Kingsoft and Windows Office programs, there is this option to insert watermark.

I guess you can also find picture editing software to insert watermark. You can either choose from the templates or select your own.

Actually, I did it only for my dissertation. Never done that for pictures. So, I know only how to use it on Word documents.

post #1584 is good example. Usually sites and other photographers keep the watermark on the same area in the pics. Most photography software have an option for you to add to your mark.

Any chance of the 2 CRH350s entering operational service this year?

Any chance of the 2 CRH350s entering operational service this year?

I'm not sure.
2017-2018 might be an ideal year.
After all these tests, they will figure out what aspects could be improved.
Then they will massively manufacture, it takes at least 2 years I think.
I hope we can take these trains from Beijing to the Winter Olympic site in Zhangjiakou.
I've also heard some new lines will have some sections with designed speed of 500+km/h in order to test the future-future-generation trains.

Red-eye bullet train from Shanghai to Beijing launches

The first regular red-eye bullet train running from Shanghai to Beijing will start operation on May 15, Shanghai railway police authority said on Wednesday, the city's local news paper Xinmin Evening News reported.

Shanghai railway police said that the red-eye bullet train, G8, will leave Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station at 7 pm and arrive at Beijing South Railway Station at 11:48 pm. Trains running overnight are popularly known as "red-eyes".

It will be the first time that a bullet train running from Shanghai to Beijing will operate after 6 pm. The train will return to Shanghai the next day.

The ticket prices will be 933 yuan ($143.68) and 553 yuan, the same like the daytime ones.

The authorities said more police officers will be onboard on the red-eye bullet train to ensure safety at night.

Another bullet train with sleeping cars, D312, which ran from Shanghai Railway Station to Beijing South Railway Station temporarily during the Spring Festival holiday, will also start regular operation later.

It will leave Shanghai at 7:10 pm and arrive at Beijing at 7:07 am the next day.

China Railway Corp, the country's railroad operator, said earlier this year that it would add "red-eye" bullet trains to its fixed operation schedule to cater for a growing demand.

China has seen a massive increase in train passengers in the past decade. Some 2.5 billion passengers took trains in 2015, up 6.07 percent from a year earlier.

JINAN, May 19 (Xinhua) -- A subsidiary of China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) has won a deal to make 800 freight cars for Pakistan, the company said Thursday.

The deal, with expected sales revenue of over 200 million yuan (30 million U.S. dollars), is the largest overseas order for CRRC Jinan Co., said a manager with the company.

The trains will include 780 coal hopper cars and 20 cabooses, said the manager.

Founded in 1910, the CRRC Jinan is one of the oldest rail enterprises in China. Its products, including cargo trains, wind power equipment and intelligent machines, have been exported to more than 40 countries and regions.

CRRC, formed from the merger of former rivals CNR Corp. and China CSR, has been actively bidding for contracts in overseas markets in recent years and has sold equipment to more than 100 countries and regions.
