Q: Realizar una acción cuando la condición del operador filter no se cumpla Buen día a tod@s. Estoy realizando una petición que me retorna la información de esta manera:
{
  result:0,
  message:"Mensaje",
  data:{}
}

Tengo el servicio con un método donde realizo un post
peticionProceso(data: any): Observable<any> {
    return this.http.post<any>(this.url_api, data);
}

En el componente me suscribo a ese método y hago uso de los operadores pipe, map y filter. El inconveniente sucede en el filter que no comprendo si hay alguna manera de ejecutar una segunda función si la condición del "result" no es igual a 1.
ejecutarProceso(info:any) {
    return this.servicio.peticionProceso(info)
        .pipe(
            filter(x => x.result == 1),
            map(
                x => this.onFuncion1(x.data)
            )).subscribe();
}

No quisiera hacer lo siguiente:
ejecutarProceso(info:any) {
    return this.servicio.peticionProceso(info)
        .subscribe(
          res=>{
             if(res.result==1){
               this.onFuncion1(res.data)
             }else{
               //función 2
             }
         })
}

A: Pues probar con el operador tap:
ejecutarProceso(info:any) {
    return this.servicio.peticionProceso(info)
        .pipe(
            tap(x => {
              if (x.result !== 1) {
                // TODO Llama a la otra función
              }
            }),
            filter(x => x.result == 1),
            map(
                x => this.onFuncion1(x.data)
            )).subscribe();
}


Using data from the PerfSonar network throughput testing node at Langston University (LU) the state Regional Optical Network provider OneNet was able to influence ESNET at LU's request to change the MTU of the Kansas-Oklahoma border router to 9000, matching the MTU of the LU HPC cluster (Lucille) 10GE NICs. That change resulted in about a 10-15% improvement in bandwidth in one direction, as determined by PerfSonar testing. This change came on top of a change in networking parameters at Lucille in August 2015 (as recommended at fasterdata.es.net) that provided a 50% improvement in bandwidth to/from many USATLAS Tier 2 sites as determined by PerfSonar testing.
Clearly visible in the plots below is the effect of the implementation on August 10, 2015 of recommendations from http://fasterdata.es.net/host-tuning/linux/ to improve throughput on lutgw1 and lutse1 external NICs. Also visible on the BNL/LU plot on September 1, 2015 is the effect of changing the MTU of the Kansas-Oklahoma border router to 9000 by ESNet at the urging of OneNet because of LU's request for the change. The mismatch was found as a result of PerfSonar monitoring.

Journal of the American S.P.R. (1921, pages 114-122).
On August 28 Horace was very depressed. Anne's illness and the departure of the Baths were afflictions too serious for his spirit. Mildred kept him company for a long time; we decided not to leave him alone even for a moment. When we were on the veranda to transport him to his room, we found him beaming with joy. As far as he saw me he exclaimed: "Flora, look, look! Quick, because he's leaving."
- Or? what do you see, Horace? I do not see anything.
- There, on this projection of the rock, Walt appeared to me. I saw the head and the trunk. He had the hat. He was splendid, radiant. He seemed surrounded by a golden halo. He greeted me with his hand, as if to encourage me and he spoke to me. I could hear the tone of his voice very well, but I only heard these words: "Come; I am waiting for you."
On the night of September 3, Horace was ill. I watched him for a few hours. When I saw his eyes, hitherto motionless, turn slowly towards me, I thought he was going into agony. But it was not that: he only wanted to have his position changed. While I was fulfilling his desire, I noticed that he seemed to be listening for some noise.
Immediately after he said to me: "I hear Walt's voice; he's talking to me."
- "What does he tell you?" I asked.
- "He repeats to me: "Come with me; Come, I'm waiting for you."
After a few moments, he added: "Flora, all the friends gathered here with Walt, there is Bob, there is Bucke and the others ..."
Colonel Cosgrave arrived the same evening to watch over Horace. He saw Walt Whitman's ghost who appeared on the other side of the bed, approached him and touched him with his right hand, which he held in his pocket. At this contact, the colonel felt a kind of electric shock. And he said to Horace that Walt lives too. These apparitions had the effect of making all melancholy disappear, as if by enchantment. No one felt overwhelmed, a sense of triumphant exultation permeated the atmosphere of the house.
Signed: Flora Mac Donald Denison.
During the months of August and September 1919, I lived in a familiar relationship with Horace Traubel, known to all for his books and noble spiritual aspirations. Until then, I didn't know him personally; likewise, I had only a rather superficial knowledge of Walt Whitman's works and ideals. I point this out to show that my mentality, conscious and subconscious, was in no way influenced by the works or ideals of the writers in question.
I would also like to add that my long military service in France with the Canadian army, almost always on the front line from January 1915 to the Armistice, had naturally familiarized me with death; in such a way that the atmosphere surrounding the dying, while inspiring great respect, did not generate in me this nervous tension and emotional overexcitement that usually occurs in people unfamiliar with death. I also point this out to prove that I was in normal conditions of mind when the event that Miss Flora Denison wrote to you occurred, an event that I confirm in all its details. Anyway, here's what happened.
During the three nights that preceded Horace Traubel's passing, I was going to look after him in the last hours of the night. I waited for his end any moment, and my thoughts remained spiritually serene and elevated, in accordance with the solemnity of the hour and the atmosphere, as well as by virtue of a kind of special magnetism which seemed to emerge from the man who was dying - a great altruist who had devoted his life to the service of humanity. I had observed this curious species of spiritual magnetism many times before, and always in the presence of great characters - never with ordinary men.
Horace Traubel was extinguished by paralysis and exhaustion, but he did not seem to suffer. He was semi-conscious and hardly articulated the words because of the paralysis of the tongue. But his eyes, always lively and expressive, made you easily guess his desires.
In the last night, around 3 o'clock in the morning, he suddenly got worse. The breathing became almost imperceptible, the eyes closed; he seemed plunged into comatose conditions, while his body was shaken by convulsive movements. Some time later he opened his eyes again, staring at the feet of the bed; the lips moved in vain effort to speak. Assuming that he needed to breathe more freely, I gently put his head back in the normal position, but he turned at once, looking again in the same direction and fixing a point three feet above the bed.
So I was irresistibly led to look on this side. The room was insufficiently lit by a nightlight placed behind a curtain at the corner of the room. Slowly, the point, which we looked at, turned clearer; a small cloud appeared, which spread and grew rapidly, soon taking on a human form, in which Walt Whitman's features were traced. He was standing next to the bed of the dying man, dressed in a heavy, light jacket, with his usual felt hat on his head and his right hand in his pocket - a pose which was familiar to him and which is seen reproduced in some of his portraits. He looked at Traubel and smiled at him affectionately, as if he wanted to encourage him and welcome him. Twice he nodded to him.
It was understood from the expression of the face that he intended to raise his spirits. It remained entirely visible for about a minute; after which he vanished gradually. But before disappearing, while Horace and I looked at him intensely, he muttered himself, approaching Horace. He who, because of the paralysis, could not stay long with his head turned to one side, had to resume the normal position. In doing so, he murmured: "There is Walt here."
At this moment the ghost walked towards me, seemed to cross the bed and touched my hand, as if to say goodbye to me. I felt this contact as a slight electric shock. Finally, Walt smiled for one last time at Horace and disappeared right before our eyes.
This took place on the 6-th of September, two hours before the patient expired; hours that he spent largely in a coma. Paralysis also robbed him of the use of speech even in the waking intervals, but the look was filled with silent messages. We understood that he saw other manifestations that we did not perceive.

Dateline Tbilisi reports that the outgoing Bush administration in Washington has signed a strategic partnership charter with Georgia which supports its territorial integrity and aspirations towards NATO membership. Although non-binding, the blog notes that the charter reportedly marks a shift towards direct military assistance for the South Caucasus republic and that the Georgian foreign minister, Grigol Vashadze, believes such military cooperation will begin in the "very near future." Vashadze is also quoted as saying that the document was signed with the agreement of officials from the incoming administration of president-elect Barack Obama.

Lake Schatz
The Whitest Boy Alive are… alive and reunited. The German-Norwegian outfit is back today with "Serious", its first new music release in over a decade.
Led by Erlend Øye, The Whitest Boy Alive originally called it quits in 2014, a few short years after putting out their final album Rules. However, they've since quietly reconvened, playing a few reunion shows in November, including their first gigs in Argentina.
It was during their visit to Buenos Aires that The Whitest Boy Alive appear to have recorded "Serious". An Instagram photo from the studio, captured by local music producer Nicolas Btesh, shows the indie band in full swing again. Stream the new song below.
These were the top-selling vinyl records of 2010s
It's unclear whether more new material from The Whitest Boy Alive is coming down the line, but the group has reactivated its social media and is expected to perform at both Roskilde Festival in Denmark and Tecate Pa'l Norte in Mexico in the coming months. Grab tickets over on Ticketmaster.

More information can be found at: https://cardetailingphoenix.com/index.php/auto-glass The site explains that the expertly trained team understands the fact that windshield replacement may be cost effective for many customers. However, there are also many reasons why it might be better to simply get the glass fixed, rather than replaced. Car owners in Phoenix needing windshield repair or replacement can get in touch with DI Auto Care for high quality, fast service. Automotive glass replacement services might be required, but equally the tam can provide windshield chip repair services. Sometimes small defects like this might not appear to be as significant to some individuals as a full crack, but they can cause major problems on the road. Even small chips can obscure vision, reducing visibility. The car windshield is among the most important safety functions on any vehicle, and it's essential to maintain a high quality window at all times. When the windshield is damaged, even just slightly, it can put both the driver and their passengers at risk. Having a clear view of the surroundings is imperative when driving, and can help to prevent severe accidents. What's more, in the event of an accident occurring, windshields need strong structural integrity in order to perform their full protective duties. Cracked or damaged windshields aren't able to withstand the force of a collision as effectively as a windshield that has no damage. This is where chip repair services can be imperative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48hqbWcHAdc The team at DI Auto Care can provide fast, affordable windshield chip repair and glass replacement for customers in the local area. It is contactable on (480) 233-1529.

Home LIFE & STYLE FOOD & DRINK Michelin Star Loam restaurant closing permanently due to costs
The Michelin Star Loam restaurant in Galway City will be closing down permanently due to "insane" operating costs.
Enda & Sinead McEvoy, owners of the award winning restaurant, announced that they will sadly not be reopening this Spring.
In a post on social media, they said that it has been a genuine pleasure to serve customers at the Fairgreen Road restaurant, but that they were taking an opportunity to be released from their lease.
"The cost of running such a large space right now is insane and it doesn't look like it's going to get any easier.
"In the background we are working on a new project and of course our other premises, éan, will be running as usual."
"Fairgreen road, the unlikeliest of places for a restaurant, has been great to us the last 8 years and we will miss being up there but ultimately we feel this is the correct course of action for us."
Loam is a highly respected and much loved restaurant in Galway; along with its longstanding Michelin Star, Loam also frequently tops other guides.
In 2019 Loam was named the Best Restaurant in Ireland at the prestigious Restaurants Association of Ireland Awards.
"We know this restaurant is special to a great number of you as it is to us. We thank you all for choosing to spend your special moments with us and there will be more special moments in the future," Enda & Sinead said.
Last year saw Éan awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand status, which recognises establishments that offer a simple yet skillfully delivered three course meal for under €40.

The history of our company started in 1999. One man was keen on aquariumistics, decided to create his aquarium business. It began with the aquarium farm – breeding, and in 2002 our first shop "Aquarium fish" was opened in Kiev on the Simferopolska Street 9.
For the few years was created team of minded persons, which during 17 years and till now are faithful members of our friendly,strong and growing team.
In 2004 on the Koshyca Street 8 we opened the "Center of aquariumistics". It was Ukraine's first exhibition of marine and freshwater hydrobionts. In the collection were represented many types of corals and invertebrates, as well as tropical fishes. Fromthe "Nemo" fish to real oceanic black tip sharks.
We imported the ichthyofauna from the different oceans. We studied how right to accept it, adapt, hold, treat and even breed. All the seprocessesare enough complex and costly. That's why, for many years we worked with indicators of deep negative profitability. But that didn't stop us, we liked what we do.
But the main goal that we pursued - is the creation of something more global. We wanted to create in Kiev the aquarium (oceanarium), similar to the many that exist around the world.
And in 2012 in Kiev was opened oceanarium "Morskaya skazka" on Darnitsa. It is the first in Ukraine oceanarium with an underwater tunnel, and is still the only one. Our oceanarium cannot be called a mega structure, but we try to surprise visitors with a diversity collection and fantastic atmosphere. Also, we bring gratitude to the man who once believed in our team and support our project.
Promo video of oceanarium "Morskaya skazka"
For 17 years we created a large number of aquariums in different forms and sizes. The most interesting for us is the six-meter height aquarium in Lviv and, of course, an aquarium pool with underwater tunnel in Kiev. But we're not going to stop, because our possibilities are limited only by the requirements of customers. We look forward to further projects that will be even grander.
Over the years we have acquired reliable partner-suppliers of aquarium equipment Reef Octopus (China), Tunze (Germany), Milwaukee (Hungary), manufacturers of acrylic aquariums and panels, aquarium chemistry Seachem (USA), scenery, marine animals, etc.
Creating an artificial underwater world - it is our passion, this is our life.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the underwater world!

Demon Forged, by Meljean Brook - Review
Do you have a go-to author, one whom you KNOW, for every book, you're going to love certain things? That the heroine will be feisty, or sweet, or the hero will be wounded but honorable, etc. etc.? I don't want to say "predictable," but maybe... "reliable" ?
I think a lot of authors come to be repeat best-sellers by reliably providing what their readers like. Nora Roberts and Jayne Ann Krentz come to mind, to name just two.
The Guardian series isn't like that.
I can see why Brook might be a hit-or-miss author for some readers. Her characters are so different, so extreme, that readers who like a certain kind of hero or heroine are almost guaranteed to a) find that in at least one of her books and b) not find it in others. She goes out on a limb with every book, breaking fondly-held genre rules here, while taking others to new extremes there.
Because Brook is so skilled at bringing her diverse characters to life, I personally find something to love in every book. In Demon Forged, we have Irena, one of the oldest Guardians after Michael, and Alejandro, a dashing Spanish nobleman. ( He's a millenium or so younger than Irena, but that doesn't seem to bother anyone.)
These two have A History. With Baggage. And when your bad guys are actual demons, and you've spent centuries trying to deal without the benefit of a good therapist... well. You wind up with Issues.
One of the themes that intrigues me with every Guardian book is the idea of "humanity." What does this mean when most of the characters are not human? What does it do to a person (or Guardian) to exist for sixteen centuries?
While Brook doesn't explicitly dwell on this a lot, I did find Irena's character to glimmer with small, telling details consistent with an ancient character. Irena is barely literate. Her idea of relaxation is hiking or hunting or sculpting in her forge: elemental. She's blunt, straightforward, lacks subtlety. I loved this exchange:
"No." He straightened. His eyes shuttered. "I will not fight. I do not like the man I become with you."
The words stabbed her chest. Reflexively, her hands fisted. Irena held them at her sides, struggling against the fury and hurt that urged her to batter them into his face. He stared down at her and she thought, prayed, that he might take the words back.
Olek shook his head and turned. "Your vampire friend has gone into the city."
He walked away. Irena watched, her heart hammering.
*I do not like the man I become with you.*
He should have hit her. She'd have known how to respond to that. But this pain, she did not. [chapter end].
Irena and Alejandro/Olek have spent the last 400 years in a state of tension, avoiding each other or relieving the tension in violent training sessions. It's certainly valid to wonder, "why now?" Why is now the moment when this tension comes to a head? Brilliantly, it's because of
The Series Arc
Somewhere around the 5th or 6th book of a series, I tend to start getting series fatigue. Either the stories become repetitious, or the series arc starts to feel artificially drawn out... or maybe I just get bored.
Not so with the Guardians. Every book has revealed Big News about some aspect of the world, and this one is no different, except perhaps that it's more so. The shocking events of Demon Forged shakes the delicate balance of power to its core, and all without the least hint of contrivance. It's not easy to provide an individual book resolution while still building tension for the series, but Demon Forged does it in spades.
Meanwhile, the series as a whole posits our world on the brink of massive change: apocalyptic disaster, Biblical armageddon. The unseen (by humans) tension between Guardians and demons that keeps the realms in balance is threatened by the recent mass Ascension, by power struggles among the demons, and by the release of new powers into the playing field: nephilim and more. Select humans are drawn into the struggle and the Guardians are taxed to keep them safe.
This then, not only drives the series forward, but provides the change catalyst for Alejandro and Irena's relationship, as they can no longer afford to avoid each other. I just love how the individual story and character arcs weave in and out of the series arc, always complementing, never competing.
I feel like I should say more about Alejandro, about his and Irena's character arcs, and their romance... but I'm going to cop out and plead illness-- I've had a monster of a cold for over two weeks now and keeping my thoughts collected has been a ridiculous effort. I think it's safe to say that fans of the series won't be disappointed (of course, most of them have already read it by now!) and once again recommend that if you haven't read them? Do.
Series Reading Order:
1. Hot Spell*
2. Demon Angel
3. Wild Thing*
4. Demon Moon
5. Demon Night
6. First Blood*
7. Demon Bound
8. Demon Forged
9. Must Love Hellhounds*
*Anthologies containing a Guardian-universe novella

Meljean's Guardian books reminds me of the tv series Friends. Friends kept delivering the good all the way up to the end totaling 10 years. I can certainly say the Meljean's books will be excellent up to the end.
I was thinking more like Lost, with these incredible season finale cliffhangers every season... only better, because the individual books have much more satisfying resolutions than any give Lost ep or season. :)

Some auto insurers offering discounts for electric cars
Monday, August 6, 2012 7:03:09 AM
Tamara E. Holmes
While the jury is still out on whether the cost of insuring electric cars will be higher or lower than the cost of insuring gas-powered vehicles, a couple of auto insurance companies are rewarding consumers who embrace a more environmentally friendly approach to driving.
The Hartford announced in April 2012 that it would begin offering new policyholders who drive electric cars a 5 percent discount in Alabama, Arizona, California, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Texas. Current policyholders who have electric vehicles will receive the 5 percent discount when their policies are renewed. The discount will become available to new policyholders in other states by the end of the year.
The Hartford, Farmers give discounts
The Hartford is offering the discount because the insurer "is committed to environmental protection," Andy Napoli, the company's president of consumer markets, says in a statement. "This financial incentive is a small way we can thank our customers for helping a greener environment."
The Hartford has offered a 5 percent discount to policyholders who have hybrid vehicles since 2009.
Farmers Insurance also offers discounts on electric and hybrid cars, spokesman Jerry Davies says. The discount varies by state and type of coverage.
Calls to other insurers, including MetLife and Safeco, revealed that electric-car discounts are far from a trend. "MetLife Auto & Home doesn't offer any special discounts for hybrid or electric cars at this time," spokeswoman Sarah Faria says. Although Liberty Mutual doesn't offer an electric-car discount, it does give a 5 percent discount to hybrid owners in most states, spokesman Glenn Greenberg says. Other insurers, including Allstate, State Farm and GEICO, couldn't be reached for comment about electric-car discounts.
Pricing the premium
Not only does it remain to be seen whether other insurers will offer electric-car discounts, but questions still linger about how expensive electric vehicles ultimately will be to insure.
Two types of electric, or plug-in, vehicles are on the road these days -- those that are solely battery-operated, such as the Nissan Leaf and the Mitsubishi i, and those with a battery and a gas-powered engine, such as the Chevrolet Volt and the Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid.
One factor affect the cost of auto insurance for electric cars is the cost of the vehicles themselves. "Electric cars or plug-in cars are expensive still," says John Voelcker, editor of GreenCarReports.com. For example, a 2012 Nissan Leaf starts at $35,200 and a 2012 Chevrolet Volt starts at $39,995 before incentives. The more expensive a vehicle and its replacement parts are, the more it will cost to insure.
However, two considerations could bring down the cost of insuring electric vehicles.
One is how they're likely to be driven. Electric cars typically don't rack up as much mileage as traditional cars.
With cars that run only on battery power, drivers must stop to recharge their cars every 75 to 100 miles. That reduces the likelihood that they'll be driven across the country, Voelcker says. Also, owners are likely to consider electric vehicles as second or third cars, Voelcker says, so they'll split mileage between at least two vehicles.
Safety matters
The other factor that could cut insurance costs for electric cars is their safety record.
"A benefit for drivers of electric vehicles like the Volt and Leaf is that the batteries add weight, which is protective in crashes," says Russ Rader, a spokesman for the nonprofit Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. "Even though these vehicles have compact dimensions, they weigh as much as midsize or, in the case of the Volt, even large cars."
In 2011, the institute evaluated the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf for the first time; each earned top crash-test ratings.
Another thing that affects your auto insurance premium is a vehicle's claims history. But with only 17,000 electric cars sold in the United States in 2011, insurers don't have much data to rely on. That's not likely to change in the near future, as the electric-car market is expected to grow slowly. "People have this misconception that three years from now every other car in the showroom is going to have a plug," Voelcker says.
While few insurers currently provide electric-car discounts, that may change as the electric-car market grows. "Some insurers may be slow to get into the game," Voelcker says, but many are seeing that electric cars have a bright future.

The Indian Multi Role Helicopter (IMRH) is a medium-lift helicopter currently under development by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for Indian Armed forces for air assault, air-attack, anti-submarine, anti-surface, military transport and VIP transport roles. IMRH is aimed to replace all the current Mil Mi-17 and Mil Mi-8 helicopters across the Indian armed forces.

The planned rotorcraft is expected to have a maximum takeoff weight of 13 tonnes with a five bladed main rotor and 4 bladed rotor on tail. The navalised version further will have longer range and higher payload capacity. HAL estimates requirement of over 314 rotocraft of same class across Indian Armed Forces replace existing Mil Mi-17 helicopters in service in India.

The scaled model tests of the helicopter have been ongoing as of 2021 while first flight of a full prototype is expected in 2025-26. The introduction into armed forces thereafter is expected in 2028 after two years of testing. A total of six prototypes are planned for trials before production.

Development

Origins
During the late 2000s, Indian aerospace manufacturer Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), which was interested in expanding their rotorcraft offering beyond that of the existing HAL Dhruv programme, began to explore the potential for the production of a conceptual 10-tonne class helicopter; this concept came to be known as the Medium Lift Helicopter (MLH). If produced, the 10-tonne MLH shall hold the distinction of being the largest rotary-wing aircraft to have ever been produced by India. Early on, it was recognised that the type would be primarily marketed towards military customers, especially the Indian armed forces, and that the tentative programme would greatly benefit from the involvement of a foreign manufacturer in a partnership arrangement.

Speaking in September 2008 on the company's ambitions for the MLH, HAL Chairman Ashok Baweja stated: "We plan to develop and build 10-tonne class helicopters in partnership with either the Eurocopter or the Russians... This would be a joint venture between the selected company and HAL". At this point, there were public estimates of producing around 350 helicopters in the 10-tonne class, which was dependent upon the military market for medium-lift helicopters. HAL were also keen to explore the potential for export sales of the MLH, the prospects of which being recognised to greatly depend upon the foreign partner select to participate in the programme.

During the late 2000s, HAL issued a formal invitation for bids from major rotorcraft manufacturers across the world to co-develop the MLH. However, during July 2009, HAL reportedly cancelled its active tender for the helicopter's co-development; by this stage, both Eurocopter and Mil Helicopters had been shortlisted as potential technology and investment partners. Allegedly, HAL informed the two companies that the tender had been scrapped because of the qualitative requirements of the armed forces having substantially changed. Speaking at a national seminar held in December 2014, HAL's chief test pilot, Wing Commander Unnikrishna Pillai, gave a talk on the design challenges posed development of medium and heavy lift helicopters in India. He said that, following on from the expertise gained in earlier projects, the Rotary Wing Research and Design Centre (RWR&DC) of HAL has become confident and is well poised to develop medium lift helicopters.

Relaunch
During early 2017, HAL reportedly re-launched its MLH proposal, now seeking to produce a 12-tonne twin-engine multipurpose helicopter; a new project name, the Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH) was also applied to the programme. The IMRH has been conceived for performing various missions, including troop transport, combat search and rescue, VVIP transport, ground and offshore operations, air ambulance, casualty evacuation, and cargo carriage, including under-slung loads. It is to be capable of flying at altitudes of up to 20,000 feet while transporting either a maximum of 24 personnel or a payload of 3,500 kg. According to HAL, the proposed helicopter can lift double the capacity that is currently available using its Dhruv advanced light helicopter, which falls within the five-tonne class. One HAL official stated that the Indian Army is estimated to require up to 400 helicopters within the MLH's class.

During February 2017, a full-scale mock up of the MRH was publicly displayed at Aero India 2017; according to a HAL spokesman, the mock up was largely based upon the existing Russian Mil Mi-17. By this point, HAL anticipated the first flight of the helicopter to occur during 2019; however, the engine to power the MRH was yet to be finalised. Likewise, the rotorcraft's finer details have yet to be fully defined, and are to only be finalised after specifications have been received from the intended users. Additionally, operator acceptance trials have been expected to take about 7-8 years before induction. In February 2017, the MLH proposal remained in the conceptual stage; it was yet to be cleared by HAL's board; accordingly, at the time, it was yet to commence formal design work. The intended engines to power the type are yet to be identified, while the helicopter is intended to be equipped with automatic flight control system, modern mission systems, advanced cockpit displays, and other contemporary avionics. At the time, HAL is in the process of developing a large, ₹600-crore helicopter manufacturing complex in Tumakuru; this is to be the hub of the company's rapidly expanding rotorcraft division.

During May 2017, HAL issued requests for information (ROIs) in regards to elements of the Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH); the requests involved the turboshaft engines, along with assistance in the development of a blade-folding mechanism and external reviews of the rotorcraft's landing gear and transmission. The landing gear is planned to be retractable and use an active steering system and self-centering capability, while the engines are to be imported, equipped with dual-channel full authority digital electronic controls (FADEC) and be capable of above-average high-altitude performance. Both the main and tail rotors are to be made of composite materials and are to be coated with radar absorbent/infrared resistant paints.

In 2021, details on progress were unveiled in Aero India. The helicopter is expected to have a maximum take off weight of 13 tonnes and will have 24 to 36 crews onboard in various configurations. The helicopter will have a five bladed main rotor with a diameter of 21.2 meters and a four-blade tail rotor. MRH will have 75% domestic content but will use an imported 2000kW turboshaft engine. Payload capacity at sea level will be 4 tonnes and 1.5 tonne at a height of . Aircraft will have pair of weapons wings which will provide four hardpoints for up to  of armaments. The aircraft passed preliminary design phase in 2021 and expects approval for further development by late 2021 or early 2022. First flight is expected 4 years after development project began while the introduction is scheduled for 2028.

By 2021, the scale models have been undergoing trials, the flight of a full-sized prototype is expected in 2025-2026 ahead of the type's intended induction into the armed forces. The prototype programme is expected to involve six prototypes and have a total budget of . A specialised version for the Indian Navy will further be developed with greater range, a higher payload capacity and furnishings for maritime operations. Till 30 March 2022, HAL completed preliminary design work and is ready for prototype development.

Manufacturing
HAL is setting up a new Helicopter Factory at Tumkur that will produce helicopters of 3 ton to 12 ton category. IMRH will be the first major project to follow new manufacturing policy under Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020. As per the policy, a private sector entity will form Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) with HAL by acquiring 51% stake after getting minimum order assurance from Indian Armed Forces. During delivery, the company will be free to export 25% of the production to third country. An estimated ₹11,000 crore will be required as development cost for seven years and another ₹12,000 crore for setting up manufacturing facilities. The total requirement of Indian Armed Forces is 550 units.

On 6 February 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated HAL Helicopter Factory at Tumakuru to the nation. The facility will have capacity to produce 1,000 helicopters of 3-15 tonne category and will meet the entire requirement of the country without import. The factory will not only produce Light Utility Helicopter, Light Combat Helicopter, IMRH, Advance Light Helicopter, but will also act as Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul facility.

HAL-Safran Joint Venture
HAL started discussion with Safran Helicopter Engines for joint development and manufacturing of IMRH engine under strategic partnership model. On 8 July 2022, HAL signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Safran Helicopter Engines to form joint venture company that will be dedicated to the development, production, sales and support of new generation helicopter engine for IMRH including the naval variant. The company will also meet the requirement of future helicopter projects of HAL and Ministry of Defence. HAL will hold the type certificate for the engine after development is complete, which will take three years. On 15 February 2023, HAL and Safran signed work share agreement for joint development of engine.

Operational history
During 2008, HAL stated that it intends to offer the 10-tonne MLH to the Indian Navy for the purpose of meeting its established requirement for a fleet of heavy-lift helicopters. According to an official statement made during early 2017: "HAL will target export orders, aiming to replace ageing fleet of similar class of helicopters that are operational in more than 40 air forces". As of 2017, a total of four distinct versions of the MRH have been planned, including a navalised maritime variant and a civilian-orientated model, for which HAL intends to achieve civil certification of.

HAL has commented that the company has been examining the prospects of the indigenously-developed MLH essentially replacing the Mi-17 helicopters that are in widespread use both abroad and in India, especially by its heavy use by most frontline operations by the Indian Air Force; possessing broadly specifications, the fledgling rotorcraft is to be capable of performing a greater number of roles than the Russian Mi-17. While there has been no officially-stated requirement for a 10-12 tonne rotorcraft; however, the company has intentions for the IMRH to ultimately start replacing India's older Mi-17s after 2025.

On 5 August 2019, it was reported that the process for securing government approvals for the helicopter has started. Full scale work will commence as soon as the project is approved, with first flight expected in two years. The requirement for such helicopters is reportedly of around 550 units.

In July 2021, the Indian Navy formally involved itself in the project, envisaging a navalised version of the helicopter for anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare roles. As the naval variant will not perform high-altitude operations, unlike Indian Army and Indian Air Force operations, it will have higher payload capacity and longer range. It is anticipated that the navalised version will have dedicated equipment for the role, including sonar and sea-scanner radar with a customised cockpit.

Japan to join US Navy's 'training cruises' in South China Sea
© Toru Hanai © Reuters
Japan has announced plans to increase joint military activities with allies in South East Asia to counter Chinese dominance around disputed reefs in the East China and South China Seas. This includes deeper engagement with the US Navy's "training cruises."
Tensions in the region have been on the rise after Beijing laid claim to the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands – known in China as the Diaoyu Islands. Parts of the East China Sea are also claimed by Taiwan, which Beijing considers part of its territory.
'Red line': China warned Japan against joining US freedom of navigation stunts
The situation has been further exacerbated by China's militarization of the South China Sea. The Spratly Islands, or Spratlys, comprise more than 750 islets, atolls and reefs, and lie off the coastlines of Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei and China, with all the claimants having their own national names for the archipelago. Beijing continues to claim the reefs in defiance of a Hague International Arbitration Court verdict.
As tensions rise, the US Navy continues to dispatch warships and military planes in the immediate proximity of the disputed islands, claiming the move was to ensure the principles of freedom of navigation in international waters. Washington has also been involved in a number of military drills in the region.
Beijing slammed the naval and aerial displays made by the US as provocations, vouching to defend China's sovereignty. Beijing warned Tokyo of a harsh response if it ever crossed a "red line" in deciding to sail with US warships near disputed waters. Despite the warning, Japan's newly-appointed Defense Minister Tomomi Inada promised to sail with the American armada.
Accusing China of a "deliberate attempt to unilaterally change the status quo, achieve a fait accompli, and undermine the prevailing norms," Inada told audiences at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington that Japan "strongly support[s] the US Navy's Freedom of Navigation operations."
Philippine leader seeks arms from Russia & China, pursues policies independent from US
Referring to repeated intrusions by Chinese ships into Japanese waters around the Senkaku Islands, the Minister promised to engage Japan more in US-led operations.
"Japan, for its part, will increase its engagement in the South China Sea through, for example, Maritime Self-Defense Force joint training cruises with the US Navy and bilateral and multilateral exercises with regional navies," she added.
As the minister announced Japanese objectives – destined to aggravate China – she stressed that Japan is open to constructive dialogue with Beijing.
Yet the minister also promised to provide capacity-building assistance to coastal nations dealing with China and promised to send two large patrol ships and up to five surveillance aircraft to the Philippines – another party locked in a dispute with the big neighbor.
Japanese assistance to Manila was promised after an apparent foreign policy shift in the Philippines' relations with the US that was announced by the former country's president earlier this week.
After taking part in US-led patrols off the South China Sea since April, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, who has been openly critical of American security policies, announced that his country will follow an "independent posture and independent foreign policy."
The first step for the Philippines is to opt out of US-led patrols of the South China Sea because the country does "not want trouble," the president said Tuesday, announcing that his navy "will not join any expedition of patrolling the seas ... because I do not want my country to be involved in a hostile act."
Concluding her speech, Inada warned that unless powers act to counter perceived Chinese aggression, the conflict in South East Asia will engulf the rest of the globe.
"If the world condones coercive attempts to change the rules of the road in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and allow rule-bending to succeed in their waters and airspace, its consequences could become global, not to be confined in the Western Pacific," Inada said.

Airbus A320 Spotting Guide
"Start Here" ... Shenzhen Airlines Airbus A320
The Airbus A320 is a short-to-medium range, twin-engine, narrow-bodied airliner.
It was launched in March of 1984, first flew in February of 1987, and was first delivered in March of 1988 to launch customer Air France.
The A320 is the world's first airliner with a digital fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control system, in which controls from the pilot are transmitted to moving aircraft parts by electronic signals rather than mechanical means.
The A320 also employs a relatively high percentage of composite materials. Its design also included a full glass cockpit rather than the hybrid versions found in previous airliners.
The initial model was the A320-1xx, with only 21 produced. It was followed by the A320-2xx, which featured increased maximum takeoff weight, greater range and winglets.
Typical seating in the A320 ranges from 150 to 186 passengers. Its range is 3,300 nm.
A main competitor to the A320 series is the Boeing 737.
A320 Family Specifications
The A320 subsequently evolved into the shorter A318 and A319, and the stretched A321.
More than 9,250 A320 family airliners have been built between 1986 and December, 2019, and the series remains a popular element in the fleets of more than 300 airlines around the world. American Airlines is the largest operator of the series, with nearly 400 aircraft in service. In addition, over 6,000 are on order.
The A320 was the basis for other members of the family:
stretched Airbus A321 (1994)
shortened A319 (1996)
further shortened A318 (2003)

A320neo Series
In December 2010, Airbus announced a new generation of the A320 family, the A320neo (New Engine Option). Earlier models became known as CEO (Current Engine Option) aircraft.
Variants in the series include the A319neo, A320neo and the A321neo.
The A320neo offers new, more efficient engines, combined with airframe improvements and the addition of winglets, named Sharklets by Airbus. The aircraft will deliver fuel savings of up to 15%.
The baseline A320neo jetliner has a choice of two new-generation engines, the PurePower PW1100G-JM from Pratt and Whitney and the LEAP-1A from CFM International.
The first A320neo was delivered to Lufthansa in January of 2016.

Shown below is a side-by-side comparison of a Airbus A320 (bottom) and an Embraer E-175 (top).
Both aircraft have several similarities in appearance, and there is only a 20 foot difference in overall length.
However, the longer A320 has two emergency exits over each wing while the E-175 has none.
Also, the A320 has the classic rounded Airbus nose, and the Embraer has a more pointed nose.
A320 Family Assembly Plants
Final assembly of the A320 family takes place in Toulouse, France, and Hamburg, Germany, the first two A320 plants operated by Airbus.
A plant in Tianjin, China, has been assembling A320 aircraft for Chinese airlines since 2009.
The Airbus final assembly facility in Mobile, Alabama assembles the A320 as well as the A321 for aircraft destined for the North American market. Initial deliveries from the Mobile plant were A321s, beginning in April of 2016, with the first A320 rolling off the assembly line in August of 2017 for Spirit Airlines.

Q: WkWebView how manage events and window launched by input type file This is my first app to iOS and i do the same app to Android without problems and now i'm stucked to this problem.
When the user click on "choose file" into webview the phone ask me where i want pick the photo (or file), and if i select "Close" the entire WebView get closed!
How can i manage that events? (image below show the windows that take me this problems)
Same problem if i click to a loaded attachment a appear a window that show me the image and if i long press the image some buttons appear (copy, download or close).... if i press one of them the WebView get closed...
The back button is disabled because the user can't use back in this case and must follow the workflow forced by webview.
I try with this code but still close the webview
import UIKit
import WebKit

class MyWebViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate, WKNavigationDelegate {

    //Variable used for take received data from other ViewControllers
    var urlString = String()
    var callerString = String()

    // MARK: - Properties
    @IBOutlet weak var myWebView: WKWebView!
    @IBOutlet weak var backButton: UIButton!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        if callerString == "CodeController"{
            backButton.isEnabled = false
        } else {
            backButton.isEnabled = true
        }

        myWebView.navigationDelegate = self
        view.addSubview(myWebView)

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
        let url = URL(string: urlString)
        myWebView.load(URLRequest(url : url!))

    }

    @IBAction func backButtonAction(_ sender: Any) {
        if callerString != "CodeController"{
            if myWebView.canGoBack{
                myWebView.goBack()
            }else {
                //Go to Main View
                self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
                self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "backOnViewControllerSegue", sender: self)
            }
        }
    }

Here some images of which buttons close the entire WebView and how manage them in a different way?

A: It was a bug from WkWebView libraries.
To avoid that just upgrade OSX and XCODE to last versions and the problem is solved.
Not sure if it's solved for all iOS OS but sure for iOS 12, and maybe 10

"Y'all are reaching now," she wrote. "I've spent the past 3 years in Cleveland for Thanksgiving. Not sure why people are trying to create drama between my family and I. My sisters and I are perfectly fine thank you! All of their families were able to travel but TT being in season, he can not."
Kardashian continued, "The truth is never as fun as some story some of you like to create. So here we goooooooooooo!! Happy Thanksgiving I guess lol."
Despite being unable to attend the Kar-Jenner's Thanksgiving dinner, Khloe was certainly on the minds and in the hearts of her loved ones. In big sister Kourtney Kardashian's Instagram post documenting the event, Khloe got a special shout out.
"I woke up this morning in bed with my children, in the same house as my sisters (minus @khloekardashian i miss you), my brothers, the father of my kids, my mommy, my grandma, my nieces and nephew," Kourtney wrote. "I feel beyond grateful. Happy Thanksgiving!"
Kris Jenner pulled off an elaborate Thanksgiving celebration for her ever-growing family, as Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, their kids North West, Saint West and Chicago West, Kourtney and Scott Disick, their kids Mason Disick, Penelope Disick and Reign Disick, Kylie Jenner, Travis Scottand their daughter Stormi Webster and Kendall Jenner all reunited under one roof.
Check out even more photos from Khloe, Tristan and baby True's Thanksgiving right here.


Batten down the hatches, stock up on supplies, and make sure your loved ones are safe…but more importantly, prepare for some epic surf. The scientists have spoken and they've confirmed it—we could be in for one of the largest El Niño seasons of recorded history. That means abnormally warm water in the winter, torrential downpours and, of course, code red surf. Storms will be forming throughout the summer and into the winter in uncharacteristically warm waters around the equator, sending large purple blobs plummeting towards the coastlines of Central America, Mexico and California.
While Hurricane Dolores recently provided a small taste of an El Niño season—fun surf, moderate rains, slightly warmer water temperatures—it ultimately ended up as the proverbial version of surfer's blue balls. Dolores was a tease; she led us on with prospects of grandeur but before we knew it, she was in an Uber home, leaving us with our trunks around our ankles, feeling unfulfilled. But it looks like Dolores will return, and with her she'll bring a truckload of feisty friends, all ready for action.
The largest El Niño of recent history occurred in 1997 and '98. Since each El Niño is its own specific beast, there's no saying for sure if we can expect the same knee-trembling, every-surfer-calling-in-sick conditions. We can, however, begin to compare. In relation to June 1997, we are already seeing similar abnormalities in water temperature and equatorial storms, ahem, Dolores. But perhaps setting this season apart from 1997-98 is a pool of record-setting warm water off the coast of California. Remember all those sickly seals washing ashore? Or how about the throngs of crabs that recently carpeted San Diego and Orange County beaches in crimson red? The nutrient-lacking pools of warm water are pushing sea life to the beaches. It's also what could combine with the predicted equatorial storms, creating a one-two punch of waves.

View Full Version : Plane fire closes Heathrow airport runways
Emergency services tackle blaze on empty Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner sitting on tarmac
Ben Quinn
guardian.co.uk, Friday 12 July 2013 12.44 EDT
A fire on an Ethiopian Airlines jet on the tarmac at Heathrow Airport has forced Britain's busiest airport to close both of its runways as emergency services tackle the blaze.
No one is believed to have been on board the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a type of long-range, mid-size airliner, which has been at the centre of troubles in the recent past following a series of battery fires. The plane was on the stand and there were no reports of injuries.
Earlier this year, battery smoke coming from two Dreamliner planes operated by Japanese carriers led to a grounding of the world's 787 fleet and a halt to all deliveries of the planes to airlines.
The BBC reported that the plane on fire at Heathrow was the first 787 Dreamliner to resume flights after the grounding.
The incident caused all landings and take-offs to be suspended at around 5pm on Friday as the busy summer holiday get-away period builds up.

More Obama batteries, politicians should keep their noses out of airplane engineering.

That jet was delivered very recently.
I just wanna fly on that bird soooo much!!!! :lemo:


"They're both excellent wordsmiths, and when they harmonize, you can definitely tell there's that genetic vibration that happens only when people who are related sing," says engineer Ethan Allen, who recorded the delicate new folk album from singer/songwriter Ben Harper and his mother, Ellen Harper in Ben's Machine Shop studio.
Ben and his mom share a deep connection to roots music; Ben grew up around the musicians who frequent the Claremont Folk Music Center and shop that Ellen's family has run for two generations. Childhood Home is their first album together.
Allen came to the session with a pair of his own Neumann U 67s and a Retro 176 limiter. All of the vocals were recorded to a U 67 or an AEA R84, through the 176.


I love being able to see artistic influences in artwork. In certain works you can almost track a whole lineage of a design styles in one piece. I just happened to come across a mother load of Mary Blair Illustrations at the awesome ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Project Blog, Ronnie Del Carmen recently posted this great caricature of John Lasseter on his blog as a part of an ongoing series of people he works with. Great homage to the Blair style.
As a side note i think this Pixar Disney merger is amazing news. I thnk it means we'll get better quality animation across the board and the full $upport of the Disney corporation behind Pixar which is stupendous.
Much luck to all involved.
Looking at the movement of Disney shares, 50.6% going to Jobs, and Lasseter and Catmull overseeing both companies animation teams, I think you can say Pixar got Disney and Disney paid for it.
Wow! Good pull! I'm with you, this Disney/Pixar thing is great news! Can you imagine, Walt Disney Features run by an ARTIST??? Who'da thought.
Hey, I love your blog! You have an amazing amount of talent! I especially like the Good, the Bad, the Ugly caricatures!
Good eye! I sent your link to Jerry Beck. Thanks for the link to the archive!

Q: Typescript pass type to generic interface I have this response type
export interface IResponse {
  status: boolean;
  message: string;
}

Then I would like to pass a custom interface to this type.
const res: IResponse<{count: number}> = await ...

How to modify my type so that res.count is recognized?

A: You can declare a new generic type as an alias of an intersection type:
type CustomResponse<T> = IResponse & T

export function test() {
  const res: CustomResponse<{count: number}> = { }

  console.log(res.status) // true
  console.log(res.count)  // 1
}

Note that this approach will "lock" the type, as then CustomResponse is not an interface anymore and therefore can't be extended.
// Compile error
export interface A extends CustomType<string> {
}

A: One option would be:
const res: IResponse<IResponse & {count: number}> = await ...

the second one @Hoff stated. You need to extend IResponse with your custom one
Although I think it would be better for you do do something like:
export interface IResponse {
  status: boolean;
  message: string;
}

export type TResponse<T> = IResponse & T;

export interface Count {
  count: number
}

const res: IResponse<Count> = await ...

A: I'm not sure I understand what you want to do exactly, but if you want to extend an interface you can do it like so:
interface ExtendedResponse extends IResponse {
    count: number
}

Then you can use it as you would any other interface:
const res: ExtendedResponse = await ...

Halliburton's Acquisition of Baker Hughes Likely to Receive Close Antitrust Scrutiny from Department of Justice
By Dionne Lomax
On November 17, 2014, Halliburton Company ("Halliburton") announced plans to acquire Baker Hughes, Inc. ("Baker Hughes") for $34.6 billion. Halliburton and Baker Hughes are two of the world's largest oilfield services companies, providing drilling, formation evaluation, reservoir consulting and related services to oil and gas producers. Halliburton and Baker Hughes are reportedly considered two of the big three global oilfield services companies in the industry, second and third behind Schlumberger Ltd. ("Schlumberger"), the leading oilfield services company in the world. Although Schlumberger is reportedly the largest oilfield service company, reducing suppliers from 3 to 2 in any market will inevitably raise red flags with the Department of Justice (the agency expected to review the transaction), who will undoubtedly conduct a thorough antitrust review.
The DOJ is expected to analyze the segments in which both parties compete (e.g., drilling, formation evaluation, reservoir consulting) and examine the specific service within each segment where the parties compete head-to-head and make an assessment of how the transaction will impact competition in those specific areas. If the DOJ determines there are few remaining competitors post-merger they will have concerns: (1) that the transaction will give the merged firm a substantial share in a particular service and the ability to raise prices to customers (oil and gas companies) and/or (2) the transaction will diminish competition by enabling the facilitation of collusion by the few firms remaining in the market (i.e., the reduction in the number of firms competing in a particular market will make coordination on price, for example, more likely). It is highly likely that a Second Request will be issued in order for the DOJ to adequately investigate a transaction of this magnitude with a number of potential competitive overlaps.
It is notable that neither party is a stranger to the DOJ's extensive review and divestiture process. For example, in 1998 Halliburton agreed to sell part of its worldwide oil field services business (logging-while-drilling or LWD services) and its drilling fluids business to resolve the DOJ's competitive concerns in order to proceed with its merger with Dresser Industries. Similarly, in 2010, the DOJ required divestitures in Baker Hughes' merger with BJ Services. There the DOJ was concerned that the transaction combined two of the only four companies that provided specialized pumping services (called stimulation services) necessary for the production of oil and gas from wells in the Gulf of Mexico.
In the parties' merger agreement, Halliburton reportedly agreed to divest business up to $7.5 billion in revenue, which is a clear indication that the parties not only anticipate a full merger review, but that there is a high likelihood that the DOJ will seek divestitures.

This event is free to attend; however, books must be purchased in the Reagan Library Museum Store to receive signature. Books may be pre-purchased during the reservation process. For more information, please call 805-522-2977.
In The Case for Trump, award-winning historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson explains how a celebrity businessman with no political or military experience triumphed over sixteen well- qualified Republican rivals, a Democrat with a quarter- billion-dollar war chest, and a hostile media and Washington establishment to become president of the United States--and an extremely successful president.
Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow in Residence in Classics and Military History at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, a professor of Classics Emeritus at California State University, Fresno, and a nationally syndicated columnist for Tribune Media Services. He has written or edited 24 books, including The Second World Wars.


Pakistan is well on its track to becoming tourism's next big thing, The Telegraph reported.
According to the newspaper, the country was once one of the highlights of the classic "hippie trail" or "overland" route from Europe to the Far East, a rite of passage for disillusioned Western youth. Peshawar and Lahore were considered not only safe — but also fine places to kick back for a few days in a budget hostel.
Last month Prime Minister Imran Khan announced a new visa policy for 175 countries to promote tourism and investments in Pakistan.
The countries will get the facility of applying for an online visa. As per the new visa policy, e-visa facility will initially be provided to five countries namely Turkey, China, Malaysia, United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. The citizens of these countries will be able to apply for Pakistani visa via email at a $8 fee.
Jane Westwood who runs Wild Frontiers, one of the few UK operators to offer tours of Pakistan, welcomed the changes.
Westwood also praised the loosening of the No Objection Certificate (NOC) system, under which travellers needed special permission to visit certain parts of Pakistan. These have been scrapped for all but a few border regions, opening up parts of Kashmir, Chitral and Gilgit-Baltistan.
She added bookings for Pakistan tours have increased significantly during the past two or three years, an assertion that's backed up by official tourism statistics.
In 2015, Pakistan welcomed 563,000 overseas arrivals. That figure grew to 965,000 in 2016, 1.6m in 2017 and 1.9m last year. Some of those will be expats of Pakistani heritage visiting friends and family, but it is suggestive of a destination finally about to live up to the oft-applied billing of "tourism's next big thing".
Pakistan's draws — spectacular mountains, ancient civilisations and warm hospitality — aren't in doubt, but there is the issue of safety.
Last year France and Portugal relaxed their advice on travel to Pakistan; the US suggests its citizens "reconsider travel" to the country, putting it on a par with the likes of Honduras, Sudan and Turkey.
Moreover, British Airways will restart flights in the country from June 2 from Heathrow to Islamabad, marking its first service to the country for a decade.

MSW, MS, LCSW
Teaching & Mentoring
I am a child welfare and family strengthening researcher, who uses developmental and family theories to investigate family processes-with an emphasis on father involvement-that benefit children, especially children of color and those from family backgrounds with low income. I employ a number of different approaches and methodologies in my research, which you can check out here. I use my work to inform family strengthening policies, relevant targets for parenting interventions, and clinical work with children and families, who experience a multitude of socioeconomic disadvantages. I am currently completing a joint PhD in Social Work and Developmental Psychology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Prior to graduate school, I worked as a licensed social worker and coordinated a mentoring program at a community-based youth empowerment program in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where I first gained an interest in studying father-child relationships in urban families. I also worked at the Institute for the Study of Child Development at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, examining the impact of a Sesame Street intervention for families with young children.
I am a proud alumna of Columbia University in New York, where I completed my master's degree in social work (MSW), focusing on international child welfare. I received my bachelor's degree in social work at Rutgers University, New Brunswick in New Jersey.
I am currently a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan and New Jersey. I use my clinical knowledge and experience to inform my research and teaching.
Using Social Media Data from Reddit to Examine the Concerns of Foster Families During COVID-19
I held a webinar on October 28, 2020, presenting my research on how foster families, including parents and children, are faring during COVID-19. Given the challenges involving child welfare workers accessing foster families during the pandemic, I introduced my work that relies on social media data from Reddit to better understand the most pressing concerns of foster families discuss on online forums during COVID-19.
Through the webinar, I identified areas child welfare workers, programs, and policies can intervene to ameliorate some of the challenges foster families are experiencing during the pandemic.
I presented my work with my co-author, Olivia D. Chang and a video recording of the webinar is available above or here.
Anti-Asian Racism Children's Book
Recently, I wrote a children's book on fighting anti-Asian racism during COVID-19. The purpose of the book is to serve as an educational resource to help generate meaningful discussions between adults and children about anti-Asian racism.
This book is free and available for download here.
See the book recently highlighted in the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Summit at the University of Michigan, which includes a read-aloud.
Family Processes with a Focus on Father Involvement that Support Children's Wellbeing
My primary research area focuses on studying underlying family processes, with a focus on father involvement, that support children's development and wellbeing, especially those of children from unmarried couple families with low income. My dissertation, Family Processes Underlying Economic Insecurity, Father Involvement, and Child Outcomes in Low-Income Families, examines the links between low family income, material hardship, interparental conflict, father engagement, and children's socioemotional outcomes. This work is funded by the highly competitive federal Family Strengthening Scholar's grant from the Administration for Children and Families (Children's Bureau), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (90PR0009). I use data from the Building Strong Families project, which includes a large and racially diverse sample of unmarried, heterosexual couples with young children (0-3 years). My work in this area includes:

Father Engagement and Father-Friendly Parenting Interventions
The second area of my research focuses on fathering and masculine identity, early father engagement behaviors, and the evidence-base of father-inclusive perinatal parent education programs. Secondary data from the Building Strong Families project and Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study were used along with primary data collected through qualitative interviews and systematic review processes. My work in this area include:

Prevention of Child Maltreatment, Wellbeing of Foster Care Children and Families, and Child Welfare System Reform
My next and future area of research I am developing includes prevention of child maltreatment (e.g., identifying risk factors that contribute to child maltreatment), clinical work with fathers at risk of maltreating their children, and systemic reform of the child welfare systems through consent decrees. Most recently, I have begun investigating the wellbeing of foster children and their families during COVID-19 using social media data, as well as the overrepresentation of children of color in the U.S. foster care system to better inform culturally responsive prevention interventions. My work in this area includes:

Clinical Social Work Practice Using Technology
Aside from the three research areas mentioned above, I am also interested in using technology, including mobile devices and apps to engage in clinical social work practice with diverse client groups (e.g., Medicaid-eligible fathers enrolled in home visitation programs, new or expectant fathers, Latinx clients with low income). I explore both standalone and add-on programs to support existing interventions. Given the recent transition to teletherapy in my clinical practice in response to COVID-19, use of both computer and mobile devices to administer developmentally appropriate therapeutic services, including play therapy and trauma-informed care, to children with maltreatment histories is a growing interest of mine. Thus far, some of my work in this area of research includes:

My teaching philosophy is focused on student-centered learning by using activities that allow them to leverage their individual curiosities and interests. Practicing student-centered learning also means recognizing individual differences in students for whom I create an inclusive and a welcoming learning environment by carefully considering how my students' varied backgrounds and social identities shape their learning experiences. I incorporate the broader student-centered learning philosophy into three specific teaching goals: (1) critical thinking; (2) strong writing skills; and (3) interdisciplinary collaboration and communication. Students leave my classes with the ability to think critically about the intersections between social and racial justice issues and science, write clearly and cohesively, and work collaboratively across professions and disciplines.
Importantly, I use an anti-racist pedagogical framework in my teaching, which translates to decolonizing the curriculum by incorporating class and reading materials from BIPOC scholars, deconstructing the role of social work and social science in perpetuating systemic racism and White supremacy, encouraging my students to reflect on their privileges and social positionalities, decentering authority in the classroom by giving ample opportunities for my students to lead discussions, and creating a sense of community by emphasizing collaborative learning amongst my students. In my support for and mentoring of diverse students, I set up individual meetings to lend extra support, share materials (e.g., data and analytic methods) generously, involve them in research projects including writing manuscripts, and practice cultural humility.
I use ample clinical examples derived from my own practice experience, as well as focus on introducing evidence-informed interventions and best practices with children and families. I am prepared to teach macro and micro/clinical social work, child development, community-based research with diverse families, as well as introductory and advanced methodological and statistical courses. I am also prepared to teach across all levels: undergraduate, master's, and doctoral. I look forward to applying my student-centered learning philosophy and teaching goals to all my classes.
