Did An Album Ever Save Your Life?
Hortense Smith
A new documentary titled "Britney Spears Saved My Life" explores the lives of hardcore Britney fans who claim that the singer's music and ability to regain control over her often turbulent personal life has had quite an impact on them.
Vikram Jayantis, who directed the documentary for BBC3, recently wrote in the Guardian that he was skeptical of his own project at the outset, but came to believe that Spears' music really did have a positive influence on several of the fans who came out to express their love and admiration for the singer. Of the documentary, Jayantis writes, "hopefully they will turn it on and realise that the kids who get what they get out of Spears, are kind of saving their lives. Being an adolescent can be a really desperate time and you hold onto anything you can that lets you have some control over yourself and have some identity."
While I've written before about my affection for Britney and why I tend to root for her, I wouldn't say that her music has ever "saved my life" or even provided a comfort in darker times. But there are albums, and artists, who have, and while some might mock Britney fans for clinging to her pop songs as a salvation of sorts, anyone who has fallen in love with a band, or a singer, I think, can understand the level of devotion these people have toward Spears and what she has, most likely unintentionally, provided in their lives.
Miss American Dream: Britney Spears Goes "On The Record"
I was sixteen years old the first time I saw Britney Spears on MTV. She was dancing around in her…
We have a tendency to dismiss sugar pop music as meaningless and empty, but as Jayantis recalls, for some of Britney's fans, it meant everything: her cover of "My Prerogative" gave a schoolboy Jayantis interviewed "the courage to leave the Jehovah's Witnesses and get through his best friend dying of cancer, and that song gave him an anthem for how he wants to live. That's what teenagers need, and I would never have expected to find that in Spears, because I thought it was simple pop music."
Below, a clip from the documentary, wherein Britney's biggest fans come together to recreate her "Baby, One More Time" video:
It may seem quite silly and ridiculous, but I think there is something lovely about it, as a song can mean so many different things to so many different people. While Britney may not be the singer who provided a soundtrack to your darker days or a light to help you navigate your way out of them, perhaps there is someone who did, and though you might not dress in a schoolgirl costume to recreate the moment where you felt connected to something, or someone, it's nice to know that you can always put that record back on and feel that someone, somewhere, is speaking to you.

Q: @ng-bootstrap, *ngFor and dynamic columns I have an array of items which I want to display in a grid, and have 3 items per row. I'm using @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap in my Angular 7 application. Using an *ngFor I can't figure out how to have it actually do that.  I've got a small stackblitz which just does this:

      <input type="checkbox" >{{ name }}

I had assumed that since each label said col-4 that it would end up forcing a new row after every third item.

A: Fixed it stackblitz
you forgot to add class row and bootstrap to stackblitz

      <input type="checkbox" >{{ name }}

EDIT
 ng-bootstrap is just the javascript for dropdown etc, but you need to install the bootstrap.css file too  check New blitzy in angular.json
    ],
    "styles": [

The water on the Ohio River looked a little choppy Friday afternoon, but that didn't disappoint Chris Fairchild.
The veteran powerboat racer is among those in town for the inaugural Louisville Regatta Grand Prix. The event at Waterfront Park is the third race in the 2017 International Outboard Grand Prix series. The regatta will include 30 teams in two types of boats: F1 ChampBoats, which Fairchild will race, and the smaller Formula Lights series.
"The boat that I'm driving does not mind that there's whitecaps on the river right now," said Fairchild, who will drive the Mercury Racing/Team USA boat. The Illinois native, who has three series championships, recalls taking part in a similar event here back in the mid-1990s.
Many in the Louisville area may be familiar with powerboat racing, in particular the Madison Regatta held 50 miles north in the namesake southern Indiana community. However, the boats racing by the downtown riverfront this weekend will be markedly different than those in the hydroplane series.

South End quarry: A new place for summer fun?
For starters, the ChampBoat vehicles weight about 1,150 pounds, or a sixth of a standard hydroplane. While the bigger boats can exceed 200 mph, F1 ChampBoats can still reach speeds exceeding 130 mph thanks to modified engines that produce up to 400 horsepower.
However, race officials and the racers themselves say it's not the speed that makes their version of powerboat racing exciting.
IOGP President Mike Schriefer likened his series to IndyCar based on the boats design. However, there's aspects of other forms of racing, including stock car, incorporated as well. The start includes a race off the dock as drivers sprint for positioning as they reach the first turn.
"We turn on a dime," said Schriefer, who got his start in auto racing. "We turn right. We run 18 wide. These guys will fight for every inch, every corner."
Fairchild, who described the boats as looking like "potato chips," added that there's elements of airplane racing and Motocross as well in these events. The boats will hit turns at upwards of 130 mph, make a sharp 90-degree turn in places, generate g-forces of up to five times standard gravity and decelerate to about 90 mph before resuming top speed in about 150 yards.
Greg Foster currently sits atop the series standings this season, and he'll face competition from Fairchild and 16 others scheduled to participate in the F1 race. Mark Major led for most of the series' last event, held two weeks ago in Pittsburgh, and Schriefer thinks the Canadian could be ready for his first career win here.
"There's always bragging rights to win that first inaugural race in Louisville," he said.
The teams will compete for prizes, but Fairchild said most teams aren't in it for the money. The series helps teams cover travel expenses, and the series has races in Miami and Manzanillo, Mexico, scheduled for later this year.
"Are we making a living at this? No," Fairchild said. "But are we having a real good time and not spending much money? Oh, yeah."
Practice sessions start at 11 a.m. Saturday, with preliminary heat races scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. in the Formula Lights division and at 4:30 p.m. in the ChampBoat division. Those races will determine field position for the final races, 40-lap events over the roughly mile-long course on Sunday afternoon.
A daily pass costs $15, and a weekend pass costs $25. VIP packages are also available. For more information, visit LouisvilleRegatta.com.

Debunk This
Two Times The Clinton Campaign Faked "Russian Collusion"
by Matt PalumboPosted: October 15, 2018
Does anyone really think that a single member of the Democrat establishment actually believes that there was Russian collusion with the Trump campaign during the 2016 election? I'd assume few truly believe the claim, but instead found it to be a compelling narrative for the general public that could dissuade voters from voting for Trump.
Robert Mueller's special counsel has raged on for over a year (which replaced an FBI counterintelligence investigation that began in July 2016), and yet not a single shred of collusion has been uncovered. While indictments have been made, every single one excludes the keyword "collusion," just like we'd expect from a witch hunt.
There was no real Russian collusion – but there sure was an attempt to make it look like there was.
And on that note, here are two of my favorite examples of manufactured "Russian collusion." Note that all references (and additional details) can be found in our new book "Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald Trump."
About That Trump Tower Meeting….
Remember when Donald Trump Jr. briefly got himself in some hot water when it was revealed that he'd met with a Russian lawyer in Trump Tower in 2016? "Trump Jr. Met with Russian Lawyer During 2016 Campaign" may same like a damning headline, but the true story behind the meeting isn't so straightforward.
The meeting was organized through Rob Goldstone, a publicist of Trump acquaintances Emin and Aras Agalarov. Trump knows the father and son duo through the "Miss Universe" pageants. Of note; the mythical "golden showers" incident from the Chris Steele/Fusion GPS dossier is alleged to have occurred at a Ritz-Carlton that Trump stayed at with the Agalarov's in 2013, meaning the story potentially originated with them.
We're supposed to believe that George Papadopoulos is the official reason for the FBI launching a secretive counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign?
Meanwhile, the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was working with Fusion GPS at the time of her meeting with Trump Jr.. In other words, Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer, was working with the firm trying to "prove" Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, right as she set up a meeting with Donald Trump's son. Veselnitskaya met with Fusion's co-founder Glenn Simpson the day of, and the day after the Trump Tower meeting. What do you think they discussed, if not how to further solidify the optics of the collusion narrative?
Among the men who accompanied Veselnitskaya to the meeting included translator Rinat Akhmetshion, a former Russian spy who also worked for the Clinton State Department. If Trump Jr. did "bite" and say anything incriminating, he was there to make sure nothing was lost in translation. Luckily, Trump Jr. didn't say anything incriminating, because there wasn't any collusion, or desire to collude.
George Papadopoulos and the FBI's Counterintelligence Investigation
We're supposed to believe that George Papadopoulos is the official reason for the FBI launching a secretive counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign. This was "revealed" in a New York Times article published December 2017. We're told in the article that it all began with a meeting in a London bar that Papadopoulos had with former Australian ambassador Alexander Downer, at Downer's request. It's odd that Downer would be interested in meeting with Papadopoulos, a Trump foreign policy adviser, because of his own political allegiances. In 2007, Downer helped broker a $25 million donation from the Australian government to the Clinton Foundation.
George Papadopoulos
It's at this meeting that Papadopoulos (drunk, according to the NYT's account), told Downer that he'd possessed Hillary Clinton's hacked emails (which he did not). Downer, in turn, reported that information to the FBI, sparking their investigation into the entire Trump campaign (according to the NYT's narrative).
While Papadopoulos didn't actually possess Hillary's hacked emails – he did have the idea planted in his head weeks later that he may know someone who did; a Maltese professor named Joseph Mifsud who began taking an interest in Papadopoulos after leaning his connection to the Trump campaign. Mifsud has donated to the Clinton Foundation in the past, but met with Papadopoulos as a supposed ally, falsely telling him that he possessed Hillary's hacked emails. Mifsud also claimed, and never delivered on any of his promises to Papadopoulos about setting up foreign policy meetings with the Russian government.
https://twitter.com/GeorgePapa19/status/1051028021652553728
If Joseph Mifsud, "the professor", is indeed a British agent, as the Australian media has reported, it would mean that not only did the UK collude with the Obama administration to fabricate collusion and crimes, but that they themselves now risk their whole relationship with USA.
— George Papadopoulos (@GeorgePapa19) October 13, 2018
To be clear: to this day no intelligence organization has ever confirmed that Joseph Mifsud, "the professor", was indeed a Russian agent. All that we know about him is that "I was under the impression he was connected to Russia." It's a British agent's job to deceive.
Now for the cherry on top. Here is "Russian agent", Joseph Mifsud, the man who told me about "the Russians having Hillary's emails" attending a State Department conference in Washington DC. Date? A month after I notified the FBI about him. February 2017. pic.twitter.com/x4dyGD2tUf
Even without Downer, there are other, contradictory excuses for why the FBI began investigating the Trump campaign. Former CIA Director John Brennan claims that it was he who did so by relaying British intelligence to the FBI. "I was aware," Brennan said in May, "of intelligence and information about contacts between Russian officials and U.S. persons that raised concerns in my mind about whether or not those individuals were cooperating with the Russians, either in a witting or unwitting fashion, and it served as the basis for the FBI investigation to determine whether such collusion—cooperation occurred." That's even more interesting if Mifsud is an agent of British intelligence like Papadopoulos believes.
The FBI's spy inside the Trump campaign, Stefan Halper, also tried to arrange meetings with Papadopoulos for dubious purposes. Two months before the 2016 election Papadopoulos received a random meeting request from Halper to fly to London to discuss international relations and the possibility of Papadopoulos writing a policy paper on a gas field in the Mediterranean for $3,000. Halper paid for his flight to England, and in the course of their conversations, Halper suddenly turned to the subject of Russia, asking Papadopoulos, "You know about hacking the emails from Russia, right?" Where did that question come from? Papadopoulos smelled a fishing expedition and offered him no information.
Note that in both cases (the Trump Tower meeting and various Papadopoulos meetings) it was always the supposed Russian agent (or person inquiring about them) that made the first contact. No one from the Trump campaign was reaching out to the Russians – but those claiming to be reached out to them. And in each case, all those involved have more invested in Hillary Clinton than the Trump campaign.

Catholic Social Thought and the Coronavirus Crisis
Moral Principles for Terrible Times
Catholic Social Thought and the Coronavirus Crisis Video Player
Showing the Catholic Social Thought and the Coronavirus Crisis Video
The coronavirus pandemic is a moral crisis, raising fundamental questions about who we are, what we believe, and how we should act to protect human life and dignity and promote the common good in a time of fear, danger, and loss. We face not only a global health calamity, but unprecedented economic, governmental, political, and moral challenges as well.
This online dialogue explored how faith and Catholic social thought can offer moral principles for hard choices, ethical criteria for public action, and hope in a time of fear. In particular, Catholic social thought offers principles to guide our choices as individuals and families, as a nation, and as a global community.
The Initiative convened several respected leaders online to discuss how faith, hope, charity, justice, mercy, and community can guide our responses. John Carr, director of the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life, moderated this online dialogue. Carr served as the director of the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for more than two decades.
These leaders drew from their diverse experiences and expertise to address key questions on Catholic social thought and the coronavirus crisis:
How do we protect human life and human dignity in the midst of a deadly pandemic?
How do we practice solidarity in a time of fear and danger?
How do our institutions defend the poor and vulnerable when "the least of these" are particularly at risk and lack resources to respond?
How are the dignity of work and the rights of workers respected when some workers are particularly hurt by the economic elements of the crisis?
How can subsidiarity help guide governments at all levels in the exercise of their responsibilities, as well as the private sector, local communities, and families?
How do we pursue the common good when individual choices can affect all of us?
Our society may face terrible decisions regarding the provision of care, how individual freedoms should be limited for the good of all, and how the economic burdens of this crisis should be shared. These are difficult medical, economic, and policy questions, as well as moral tests.
This online session was an Initiative Public Dialogue, Salt and Light Gathering, and Latino Leader Gathering.

I am so grateful for Cindi and Tiffany! My prenatal care was amazing and my postnatal care has been as well. Cindi always made sure I knew what my options were, and that I was making an informed decision. Trusting completely in the person caring for you and your unborn child makes such a big difference! I felt so much more at ease with this pregnancy than my past pregnancy. My home birth experience was even better than I could have imagined it. I can't thank them enough for helping my husband and I bring our baby boy into the world!


The North Platte Flat Rock Trains display at Saturday's D&N Event Center regional train show included this Lionel-gauge replica of Union Pacific's commemorative Engine 4141, honoring President George H.W. Bush. The real thing visited North Platte for three days in early February, during a cross-country tour after pulling the 41st president's body in December from Houston to its final resting place at the Bush presidential library in College Station, Texas.
Two Union Pacific work engines push a pair of boxcars to the top of a miniature working model of a Bailey Yard train-sorting "hump" Saturday during the 25th annual show of the National Model Railroad Association's Nebraska West-Central Division. The Lionel-gauge display by Flat Rock Trains of North Platte was one of four major layouts at the D&N Event Center show, along with three HO-gauge layouts by model railroad clubs from Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming.
Union Pacific's famous Challenger No. 3985 rounds the bend at one corner of the massive Lionel-gauge model railroad display set up by North Platte's Flat Rock Trains Saturday at the D&N Event Center. The display, one of four major layouts at the 25th annual show of the National Model Railroad Association's Nebraska West-Central Division, includes a miniature working model of one of the two train-sorting "humps" at Bailey Yard.
When several model railroaders get together, that's when the childlike magic happens.
Four multi-module layouts, each representing the combined handiwork of a model train club from North Platte, Kansas, Wyoming or Colorado, delighted visitors Saturday as the National Model Railroad Association's Nebraska West-Central Division held its 25th annual train show.
They shared the D&N Event Center floor with a handful of more compact layouts — including one for kids to try — and, of course, tables crammed with scenery pieces, track equipment and engines and train cars fully built or in kits.
Much of the craft of model railroading remains what it has been for decades, said Tacey, who worked for Nebraska Public Power District for 35 years but grew up as a Burlington railroader's son in Osmond in northeast Nebraska.
For example, layouts running on standard DC power have to run their trains in the same direction. But today's "digital command control" systems allow model railroaders to run trains in opposite directions on different tracks.
Or the same track, like Gomez Addams' fictional dynamite-wired Lionel-gauge layout in "The Addams Family" TV series of the 1960s.
No explosions were in the offing Saturday — just a quartet of remarkably detailed multitrack routes where Union Pacific's "armor yellow" engines and passenger cars shared space with the brightly colored "fallen flags" of defunct lines.
North Platte's Flat Rock Trains boasted the only oversized Lionel layout, highlighted by a working model of one of Bailey Yard's "humps" with work engines pushing cars to the top so they could roll onto the proper track for their next train.
A walk around the display revealed replicas of U.P.'s "George Bush 41" diesel engine (No. 4141), which visited North Platte in early February, and its still-operating 844 and 3985 steam engines.
Train clubs from Denver, Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Dodge City, Kansas, featured the smaller but still detailed HO gauge. Handsome late 1800s and early 1900s passenger trains ran past or alongside modern freight trains under highway overpasses, through mountain mining towns and into and out of tunnels.
Though many displays seek to duplicate or at least suggest real places, Dodge City's Boot Hill Model Railroad Club built its layout with no specific location in mind.
"We just built whatever we wanted to and said the heck with it," said Dennis Volk, who contributed five of his club's eight models to its D&N display.

Q: How to detect user inactivity in Android User start my app and logs in.
Selects Session Timeout to be 5 mins.
Does some operations on the app. (all in foreground)
Now User bring Myapp to background and starts some other app.
  ----> Count down timer starts and logs out user after 5 mins
OR user turns the screen OFF.
  ----> Count down timer starts and logs out user after 5 mins
I want the same behavior even when the app is in the foreground but user doesn't interact with the app for a long-time say 6-7 mins. Assume the screen is ON all the time. I want to detect kind of user inactivity (No interaction with app even though the app is in the foreground) and kick start my count down timer.

A: There is no concept of "user inactivity" at the OS level, beyond the ACTION_SCREEN_OFF and ACTION_USER_PRESENT broadcasts. You will have to define "inactivity" somehow within your own application.

A: During my Search I found a lot of answers but this is the best answer I got. But limitation of this code is that it works only for activity not for whole application. Take this as a reference.
myHandler = new Handler();
myRunnable = new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        //task to do if user is inactive

    }
};
@Override
public void onUserInteraction() {
    super.onUserInteraction();
    myHandler.removeCallbacks(myRunnable);
    myHandler.postDelayed(myRunnable, /*time in milliseconds for user inactivity*/);
}

for e.g you used 8000, the task will be done after 8 seconds of user inactivity.

A: User inactivity can detect using  onUserInteraction() override method in android
  @Override
    public void onUserInteraction() {
        super.onUserInteraction();

    }

Here is the sample code,
 signout (HomeActivity-->LoginActivity) after 3min when user inactive
public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static String TAG = "HomeActivity";
    private Handler handler;
    private Runnable r;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);

        handler = new Handler();
        r = new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {

                Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), LoginActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
                Log.d(TAG, "Logged out after 3 minutes on inactivity.");
                finish();

                Toast.makeText(HomeActivity.this, "Logged out after 3 minutes on inactivity.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        };

        startHandler();

    }

    public void stopHandler() {
        handler.removeCallbacks(r);
        Log.d("HandlerRun", "stopHandlerMain");
    }

    public void startHandler() {
        handler.postDelayed(r, 3 * 60 * 1000);
        Log.d("HandlerRun", "startHandlerMain");
    }

    @Override
    public void onUserInteraction() {
        super.onUserInteraction();
        stopHandler();
        startHandler();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {

        stopHandler();
        Log.d("onPause", "onPauseActivity change");
        super.onPause();

    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        startHandler();

        Log.d("onResume", "onResume_restartActivity");

    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        stopHandler();
        Log.d("onDestroy", "onDestroyActivity change");

    }

}

A: Handling user in interaction timeout in KOTLIN:
     //Declare handler
      private var timeoutHandler: Handler? = null
      private var interactionTimeoutRunnable: Runnable? = null

 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_aspect_ratio)

       //Initialise handler
      timeoutHandler =  Handler();
      interactionTimeoutRunnable =  Runnable {
         // Handle Timeout stuffs here
          }

      //start countdown
      startHandler()
}

// reset handler on user interaction
override fun onUserInteraction() {
      super.onUserInteraction()
      resetHandler()
}

 //restart countdown
fun resetHandler() {
      timeoutHandler?.removeCallbacks(interactionTimeoutRunnable);
      timeoutHandler?.postDelayed(interactionTimeoutRunnable, 10*1000); //for 10 second

}

 // start countdown
fun startHandler() {
    timeoutHandler?.postDelayed(interactionTimeoutRunnable, 10*1000); //for 10 second
}

A: I think you should go with this code, this is for 5min idle session timeout:->
Handler handler;
Runnable r;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    handler = new Handler();
    r = new Runnable() {

       @Override
       public void run() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "user is inactive from last 5 minutes",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    };
    startHandler();
}
@Override
public void onUserInteraction() {
     // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     super.onUserInteraction();
     stopHandler();//stop first and then start
     startHandler();
}
public void stopHandler() {
    handler.removeCallbacks(r);
}
public void startHandler() {
    handler.postDelayed(r, 5*60*1000); //for 5 minutes
}

A: In my activity base class I created protected class:
protected class IdleTimer
{
    private Boolean isTimerRunning;
    private IIdleCallback idleCallback;
    private int maxIdleTime;
    private Timer timer;

    public IdleTimer(int maxInactivityTime, IIdleCallback callback)
    {
        maxIdleTime = maxInactivityTime;
        idleCallback = callback;
    }

    /*
     * creates new timer with idleTimer params and schedules a task
     */
    public void startIdleTimer()
    {
        timer = new Timer();
        timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                idleCallback.inactivityDetected();
            }
        }, maxIdleTime);
        isTimerRunning = true;
    }

    /*
     * schedules new idle timer, call this to reset timer
     */
    public void restartIdleTimer()
    {
        stopIdleTimer();
        startIdleTimer();
    }

    /*
     * stops idle timer, canceling all scheduled tasks in it
     */
    public void stopIdleTimer()
    {
        timer.cancel();
        isTimerRunning = false;
    }

    /*
     * check current state of timer
     * @return boolean isTimerRunning
     */
    public boolean checkIsTimerRunning()
    {
        return isTimerRunning;
    }
}

protected interface IIdleCallback
{
    public void inactivityDetected();
}

So in onResume method - you can specify action in your callback what do you wish to do with it...
idleTimer = new IdleTimer(60000, new IIdleCallback() {
            @Override
            public void inactivityDetected() {
                ...your move...
            }
        });
        idleTimer.startIdleTimer();

A: Here is a complete solution that Handles user inactivity after few mins (e.g. 3mins).
This solves the common issues such as Activity jumping into the foreground when the App is in the background upon time out.
Firstly, we create a BaseActivity which all other Activity can extend.
This is the BaseActivity code.
package com.example.timeout;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.TextView;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import javax.annotation.Nullable;

public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements LogoutListener {

    private Boolean isUserTimedOut = false;
    private static Dialog mDialog;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        ((TimeOutApp) getApplication()).registerSessionListener(this);
        ((TimeOutApp) getApplication()).startUserSession();

    }

    @Override
    public void onUserInteraction() {
        super.onUserInteraction();

    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        if (isUserTimedOut) {
            //show TimerOut dialog
            showTimedOutWindow("Time Out!", this);

        } else {

            ((TimeOutApp) getApplication()).onUserInteracted();

        }

    }

    @Override
    public void onSessionLogout() {

        isUserTimedOut = true;

    }

    public void showTimedOutWindow(String message, Context context) {

        if (mDialog != null) {
            mDialog.dismiss();
        }
        mDialog = new Dialog(context);

        mDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        mDialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_window);

        mDialog.setCancelable(false);
        mDialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);

        TextView mOkButton = (TextView) mDialog.findViewById(R.id.text_ok);
        TextView text_msg = (TextView) mDialog.findViewById(R.id.text_msg);

        if (message != null && (!TextUtils.isEmpty(message)) && (!message.equalsIgnoreCase("null"))) {
            text_msg.setText(message);

        }

        mOkButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                if (mDialog != null){

                    mDialog.dismiss();

                    Intent intent = new Intent(BaseActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
                    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
                    startActivity(intent);

                    finish();
                }

            }
        });

        if(!((Activity) context).isFinishing())
        {
            //show dialog
            mDialog.show();
        }

    }

}

Next, we create an interface for our "Logout Listener"
package com.example.timeout;

public interface LogoutListener {

    void onSessionLogout();

}

Finally, we create a Java class which extend "Application"
package com.example.timeout;

import android.app.Application;

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

public class TimeOutApp extends Application {

    private LogoutListener listener;
    private Timer timer;
    private static final long INACTIVE_TIMEOUT = 180000; // 3 min

    public void startUserSession () {
        cancelTimer ();

        timer = new Timer ();
        timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
            @Override
            public void run() {

                listener.onSessionLogout ();

            }
        }, INACTIVE_TIMEOUT);

    }

    private void cancelTimer () {
        if (timer !=null) timer.cancel();
    }

    public void registerSessionListener(LogoutListener listener){
        this.listener = listener;
    }

    public void onUserInteracted () {
        startUserSession();
    }

}

Note: Don't forget to add the "TimeOutApp" class to your application tag inside your manifest file
<application
        android:name=".TimeOutApp">
        </application>

A: I came up with a solution that I find quite simple based on Fredrik Wallenius's answer. This a base activity class that needs to be extended by all activities.
public class MyBaseActivity extends Activity {

    public static final long DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT = 300000; // 5 min = 5 * 60 * 1000 ms

    private static Handler disconnectHandler = new Handler(new Handler.Callback() {
        @Override
        public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
            // todo
            return true;
        }
    });

    private static Runnable disconnectCallback = new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            // Perform any required operation on disconnect
        }
    };

    public void resetDisconnectTimer(){
        disconnectHandler.removeCallbacks(disconnectCallback);
        disconnectHandler.postDelayed(disconnectCallback, DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT);
    }

    public void stopDisconnectTimer(){
        disconnectHandler.removeCallbacks(disconnectCallback);
    }

    @Override
    public void onUserInteraction(){
        resetDisconnectTimer();
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        resetDisconnectTimer();
    }

    @Override
    public void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        stopDisconnectTimer();
    }
}

A: public class MyApplication extends Application {
      private int lastInteractionTime;
      private Boolean isScreenOff = false;
      public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        // ......
        startUserInactivityDetectThread(); // start the thread to detect inactivity
        new ScreenReceiver();  // creating receive SCREEN_OFF and SCREEN_ON broadcast msgs from the device.
      }

      public void startUserInactivityDetectThread() {
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
          @Override
          public void run() {
            while(true) {
              Thread.sleep(15000); // checks every 15sec for inactivity
              if(isScreenOff || getLastInteractionTime()> 120000 ||  !isInForeGrnd)
                {
                  //...... means USER has been INACTIVE over a period of
                  // and you do your stuff like log the user out
                }
              }
          }
        }).start();
      }

      public long getLastInteractionTime() {
        return lastInteractionTime;
      }

      public void setLastInteractionTime(int lastInteractionTime) {
        this.lastInteractionTime = lastInteractionTime;
      }

      private class ScreenReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

        protected ScreenReceiver() {
           // register receiver that handles screen on and screen off logic
           IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
           filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
           filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
           registerReceiver(this, filter);
        }

        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
          if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) {
            isScreenOff = true;
          } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) {
            isScreenOff = false;
          }
        }
      }
    }

isInForeGrnd  ===> logic is not shown here as it is out of scope of the question
You can wake the lock to the cpu by using the device code below-
  if(isScreenOff || getLastInteractionTime()> 120000 ||  !isInForeGrnd)
    {
      //...... means USER has been INACTIVE over a period of
      // and you do your stuff like log the user out

      PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);

      boolean isScreenOn = pm.isScreenOn();
      Log.e("screen on.................................", "" + isScreenOn);

      if (isScreenOn == false) {

        PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK | PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP | PowerManager.ON_AFTER_RELEASE, "MyLock");

        wl.acquire(10000);
        PowerManager.WakeLock wl_cpu = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "MyCpuLock");

        wl_cpu.acquire(10000);
      }
    }

A: @Override
public void onUserInteraction() {
    super.onUserInteraction();
    delayedIdle(IDLE_DELAY_MINUTES);
}

Handler _idleHandler = new Handler();
Runnable _idleRunnable = new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        //handle your IDLE state
    }
};

private void delayedIdle(int delayMinutes) {
    _idleHandler.removeCallbacks(_idleRunnable);
    _idleHandler.postDelayed(_idleRunnable, (delayMinutes * 1000 * 60));
}

A: I don't know a way of tracking inactivity but there is a way to track user activity. You can catch a callback called onUserInteraction() in your activities that is called every time the user does any interaction with the application. I'd suggest doing something like this:
@Override
public void onUserInteraction(){
    MyTimerClass.getInstance().resetTimer();
}

If your app contains several activities, why not put this method in an abstract super class (extending Activity) and then have all you activities extending it.

A: I think it needs to be by combining the timer with the last activty time.
So like this:

*

*In onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) start a timer, say 5 minutes

*In onUserInteraction() just store the current time
Pretty simple so far.
Now when the timer pop do like this:

*

*Take the current time and subtract the stored interaction time to get timeDelta

*If timeDelta is >= the 5 minutes, you are done

*If timeDelta is < the 5 minutes start the timer again, but this time use 5 minutes - the stored time.  In other words, 5 minute form the last interaction

A: I had similar situation to the SO question, where i needed to track the user inactivity for 1 minute then redirect the user to start Activity, i needed also to clear the activity stack.
Based on @gfrigon answer i come up with this solution.
ActionBar.java
public abstract class ActionBar extends AppCompatActivity {

    public static final long DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT = 60000; // 1 min

    private final MyHandler mDisconnectHandler = new MyHandler(this);

    private Context mContext;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        mContext = this;
    }

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Detect user inactivity in Android
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    */

    // Static inner class doesn't hold an implicit reference to the outer class

    private static class MyHandler extends Handler {

        // Using a weak reference means you won't prevent garbage collection

        private final WeakReference<ActionBar> myClassWeakReference;

        public MyHandler(ActionBar actionBarInstance) {

            myClassWeakReference = new WeakReference<ActionBar>(actionBarInstance);
        }

        @Override
        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {

            ActionBar actionBar = myClassWeakReference.get();

            if (actionBar != null) {
                // ...do work here...
            }
        }
    }

    private Runnable disconnectCallback = new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {

            // Perform any required operation on disconnect

            Intent startActivity = new Intent(mContext, StartActivity.class);

            // Clear activity stack

            startActivity.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);

            startActivity(startActivity);
        }
    };

    public void resetDisconnectTimer() {

        mDisconnectHandler.removeCallbacks(disconnectCallback);
        mDisconnectHandler.postDelayed(disconnectCallback, DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT);
    }

    public void stopDisconnectTimer() {

        mDisconnectHandler.removeCallbacks(disconnectCallback);
    }

    @Override
    public void onUserInteraction(){

        resetDisconnectTimer();
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {

        super.onResume();
        resetDisconnectTimer();
    }

    @Override
    public void onStop() {

        super.onStop();
        stopDisconnectTimer();
    }
}

Complementary resources
Android: Clear Activity Stack
This Handler class should be static or leaks might occur

A: Best thing is to handle this across your whole app (assuming you have multiple activities) by registering AppLifecycleCallbacks in the Application calss. You can use registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks() in the Application class with the following callbacks (I recommend creating an AppLifecycleCallbacks class that extends the ActivityLifecycleCallbacks):
public interface ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {
    void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle savedInstanceState);
    void onActivityStarted(Activity activity);
    void onActivityResumed(Activity activity);
    void onActivityPaused(Activity activity);
    void onActivityStopped(Activity activity);
    void onActivitySaveInstanceState(Activity activity, Bundle outState);
    void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity);
}

A: open class SubActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    var myRunnable:Runnable
    private var myHandler = Handler()

    init {
        myRunnable = Runnable{
            toast("time out")
            var intent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)
            startActivity(intent)

        }
    }

    fun toast(text: String) {
        runOnUiThread {
            val toast = Toast.makeText(applicationContext, text, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
            toast.show()
        }
    }

   override fun onUserInteraction() {
        super.onUserInteraction();
        myHandler.removeCallbacks(myRunnable)
        myHandler.postDelayed(myRunnable, 3000)
    }

    override fun onPause() {
        super.onPause()
        myHandler.removeCallbacks(myRunnable)
    }

    override fun onResume() {
            super.onResume()
            myHandler.postDelayed(myRunnable, 3000)
    }
}

Extend your Activity with
YourActivity:SubActivity(){}

to get to MainActivity when User is inactive after 3000 millisec on YourActivity
I used an previous answer and converted it to kotlin.

A:  The real way
You can use this technique to detect how long the user was inactive (even when app is in background).

*

*Create a SharedPreference & its Editor object. Then declare 3 long varibale such as :

mMillisUntilFinished = pref.getLong("millisUntilFinished",60*1000); // Replace with your time
long userExitedMillis = pref.getLong("userExitedMillis",0);
long timeLeft = mMillisUntilFinished - (System.currentTimeMillis() - userExitedMillis);

*Pass timeLeft as millisInFuture. Inside timer, assign millisUntilFinished to a public variable in every tick

new CountDownTimer(timeLeft,1000){
            @Override
            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                Log.d("TAG", "Time left : " + millisUntilFinished/1000 + " sec");
                mMillisUntilFinished = millisUntilFinished;
            }

            @Override
            public void onFinish() {
                // Timer completed
            }
        }.start();

*Save this mMillisUntilFinished variable & current time in shared preference at onStop().

@Override
    protected void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        editor.putLong("millisUntilFinished",mMillisUntilFinished);
        editor.putLong("userExitedMillis",System.currentTimeMillis());
        editor.apply();
    }

Explanation
If you subtract userExitedMillis (the time when user exited) from System.currentTimeMillis() (the time when user starts the activity) then you will get the activity inactive time (in milli second). Just subtract this inactive time from timeLeft

A: Solution for multiple activites, usable even if app is in background
So I saw the accepted answer supports only 1 activity, and also if user minimizes the app then DC callback doesn't happen. So I ended up with modifying gfrigon's answer and fixing them:
public class SActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static Handler dcHandler = new Handler();
    public static Runnable dcCallback = null;
    public static long dcTimeout = 30000; // 30 seconds here for example, you can update it just by calling dcTimeout = x; in your activities that extend this class
    public static boolean internalCause;
    public static boolean dcRequestWhileInBackground;
    public static boolean activityFocusGone;

    public static void resetDisconnectTimer() {
        dcHandler.removeCallbacks(dcCallback);
        dcHandler.postDelayed(dcCallback, dcTimeout);
    }

    public static void stopDisconnectTimer() {
        dcHandler.removeCallbacks(dcCallback);
    }

    @Override
    public void onUserInteraction() {
        resetDisconnectTimer();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        activityFocusGone = true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        resetDisconnectTimer();
        activityFocusGone = false;
        if (dcRequestWhileInBackground && !internalCause) {
            dcRequestWhileInBackground = false;
            dcCallback.run();
        }
        internalCause = false;
    }
}

Basicly what you need to do is:

*

*Extend all your activities from the above class (except your LockscreenActivity)

*Setting up the dcCallback in your very first activity that opens after LockscreenActivity(which has to extend SActivity btw)

        dcCallback = () -> {
            if (activityFocusGone)
                SActivity.dcRequestWhileInBackground = true;
            startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Lockscreen.class));
        };

*Putting these 2 lines in all other remaining classes' onCreate method that you want to be secured (to avoid launching multiple LockscreenActivity's and also preventing the app from being locked after user switches activities)

internalCause = true;
resetDisconnectTimer();

It might be way too late and there might be some better solutions than this, but hope this helps someone :)


Change "Copy URL" to "Go to URL"
It's nice to hear, that some changes has been done. When can we expect new version on Market? I'm using KeePass and KeePassX and can't wait to use it on Android. I have installed latest version which is on Android Market, but I can't use it, because I have many password groups and application crashes constantly and can't see any saved passwords.
I'm sorry that you are seeing so many crashes. I'm not, so the only way that I can think to debug it is to ask you to make a copy of your database and change the usernames and passwords and send it to me. Is that possible?
Are there any plans to support two-factor authentication using a .key file to supplement the master password?
@Dima Key file support is next on my list.

6-й розыгрыш Панамериканского Кубка по волейболу среди женщин прошёл с 21 по 29 июня 2007 года в Колиме (Мексика) с участием 12 национальных сборных команд стран-членов NORCECA и CSV. Победителем в 4-й раз в своей истории стала сборная Кубы.

Команды-участницы
 NORCECA: Доминиканская Республика, Канада, Коста-Рика, Куба, Мексика, Пуэрто-Рико, США, Тринидад и Тобаго.
 CSV: Аргентина, Бразилия, Перу, Уругвай.

Система проведения турнира
12 команд-участниц на предварительном этапе разбиты на две группы. Победители групп напрямую выходят в полуфинал плей-офф.

YANGON, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- Forty eight people died and 10,757 others were infected by Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) across Myanmar in the past seven months, according to a release from the Public Health Department under the Ministry of Health and Sports on Wednesday.
As of July 27, Ayeyarwady region registered highest numbers of DHF infection cases with 1,974 cases and five deaths, followed by Yangon region with 1,788 cases and 15 deaths, the department's figures said.
The figures showed that children aged between five and nine years old are mostly infected by the dengue virus with 4,473 cases registered during the period.
In 2018, a total of 187 people died of the mosquito-borne disease in connection with 3,649 cases in Myanmar with 25 deaths in Yangon.
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing a severe flu-like illness and, sometimes causing a potentially lethal complication called severe dengue. Dengue fever mostly occurs in the rainy season from June to August in the country.
People are warned to take preventions against the DHF transmission as lack of sanitation, unhygienic water storage are blamed for causing the infectious disease. Enditem

Walking 10,000 steps a day may seem impossible, but it's not. According to www.thewalkingsite.com, a sedentary person walks about 1,000-3,000 steps per day, with the average American easily achieving 5,000 steps. Where ever you go, think about taking an extra step. Whether it's parking further away from the grocery store, or taking the stairs instead of using the elevator, taking that extra step really adds up.
The goal of 10,000 steps is simple: to become healthier. Not only will it help your cardiovascular health and fitness, but it studies have shown that physical activity improves your mood as well. So think of it this way: walking 10,000 steps can be like killing two birds with one stone: improving your physical condition and enlightening your mood.
If you attend UNLV, walking from one side of the campus and back (i.e. from the Cottage Grove Parking Garage, to the SRWC, and back) accumulates an average of 1,800 steps. Almost one-fifth of the day's goal! Parking at the opposite side of campus for a class is an easy way to add these steps!
Below are two links that give some more information about exercise. The first link provides some fun and interesting ways to exercise that fit into daily life, as well as expert advice from health care professionals. The second gives some great ideas to get up and go walking as well as explaining the proper equipment needed so you can be prepared out there.


The purpose of the program is to present and foster debate on cutting edge design-related topics. The program will be directed toward an audience of design practice leaders throughout the U.S.; however, we expect that many others with an interest in design law will also be in attendance. We expect corporate practitioners, USPTO representatives, product designers, professors and students to attend.
The symposium will be held at the GW Law School on Friday, October 14. Information on www.designlaw2016.com will be regularly updated.


BEAUFORT -- Recruiting future Marines to Parris Island hasn't been a problem -- it's finding a place to house them that has proven tricky for the depot.
Massive sections of modular buildings on flatbed trailers have lined the off-ramp to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in recent weeks as the depot begins to construct temporary facilities to house an increasing number of recruits.
A U.S. Department of Defense initiative to grow the Marine Corps to 202,000 by 2011 has put additional pressure on the depot's infrastructure, especially the recruits' living quarters, said David Woodward, an architect working in the depot's public works and engineering department.
Woodward said the department received approval from the Corps early this year to begin designing 16 temporary barracks.


Last year saw all-time lows in the mortgage market, with new borrowers typically hundreds of pounds a year better off now than they would have been 12 months ago.
Competition across all sectors of the market means that rates have plummeted, with one leading analyst terming 2015 as "the year of the mortgage".
According to the number-crunchers at Moneyfacts, a two-year fixed-rate £200,000 mortgage taken out at the end of the year would be an average of more than £800 a year cheaper than a similar product taken out at the start of 2015.
"When looking back at 2015, it's difficult to think of anything other than plummeting mortgage rates, which resulted in record lows across the whole of the mortgage market," says Charlotte Nelson, of Moneyfacts.
With five-year fixed rates also falling, analysts believe many borrowers would do well to switch to a longer-term deal now in order to cushion themselves against future rate rises.
Ms Nelson adds: "The mortgage market has experienced real uncertainty in terms of the timing of a base rate rise, and this is unlikely to end soon.
"The mortgage market is waiting on tenterhooks to see when the Bank of England will raise the rate, and with rumours rife about an increase in 2016, it will prove to be a tense time in the market.

How a mile long river bridge was built in 21 days
Railroad Bridge between Wrightsville and Columbia (believed to be taken during 1897, York County History Center)
This photo of the mile long steel railroad bridge over the Susquehanna River, linking Wrightsville and Columbia, is believed to include some of the workmen that erected the bridge in 21 working days during 1897. The Pennsylvania Railroad used the divide and conquer method to accelerate bridge construction.
The railroad utilized two bridge building companies, Pencoyd Iron Works and Edgemoor Bridge Works, each with a responsibility to simultaneously build one-half of the bridge across the Susquehanna River. Competition and the fear of being the company that lags behind in holding up its end of the schedule are significant motivating factors.
Divide and conquer was used successfully on many railroad building projects; the most notable the building of the Transcontinental Railroad. However this method to accelerate construction was also used on many smaller projects; such as the competition between the Delta track-laying crew and the Bel Air track-laying crew to see which could lay the most track in completing the Maryland Central Railroad in 1884.
Building of the 1897 Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge
During the Civil War, Union forces burned the wooden covered bridge in 1863, between Wrightsville and Columbia, to prevent advancing Confederate troops from crossing the Susquehanna River. For the next several years, ferry service was the only means of traveling across the Susquehanna River at this location.
From that point, the story is picked up in an article within the trade publication The Railway and Engineering Review. The article is entitled "REBUILDING OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD BRIDGE AT COLUMBIA, PA." Quoting from that article on page 415 of the July 17, 1897 issue:
The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. bought the old piers in 1869, renewing the superstructure with Howe truss spans except in the middle of the river where one of the original spans was divided by the construction of an intermediate pier, and two iron spans were here interposed as a fire guard. The bridge forms a portion of the York branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad running from a connection with the main line at Columbia to York, Pa.
[Prior to the September 30, 1896 cyclone,] the bridge consisted of the two iron spans above mentioned, each 100 ft. in length, twenty-five through Howe truss spans, each about 198 ft. in length, one Howe truss span 150 ft. in length over the outlet of the Pennsylvania canal at the left shore [Columbia side] of the river, and one iron deck span 89 ft. long at the right shore [Wrightsville side] of the river.
All the wooden trusses except the 150 ft. span over the Pennsylvania Canal were destroyed by a wind storm [on September 30, 1896]. The masonry was not seriously damaged. It was decided to rebuild the bridge with Pratt truss steel spans designed to carry a single track railroad below and a highway on the upper chord. In re-constructing the bridge the two iron spans near the center of the river were removed and replaced with one span 198 ft. in length. The original masonry was of rubble laid in lime mortar. The piers were quite massive, but the stone used was small. The original piers had been replaced from time to time as it became necessary to renew them, until at the time the bridge was destroyed there remained only eight of the original rubble piers. These were all taken down to the foundation level and rebuilt with first class ashlar work.
The total length of the new superstructure is 5,285 ft. comprising twenty-six spans of about 198 ft. each and one span of 150 ft. Contracts for the construction of the new spans were placed on the 22nd of January 1897, fourteen spans being ordered from the Pencoyd Iron Works, and thirteen spans from the Edgemoor Bridge Works. The contracts required these two companies to complete the erection on or before the first day of July 1897. Before the contracts were closed it was thought advisable to modify the original plan so as to provide temporarily to carry both the highway and the railroad across on the lower floor, the design being slightly modified for this purpose. The upper deck of the bridge was therefore not completed, but will be utilized for highway purposes at some future time.
The two bridge companies took the field and unloaded their first material on the ground about March 25. The Edgemoor Company started to raise iron on their first span on April 16, while the Pencoyd Company did not begin to raise iron until about April 21. The Edgemoor Company swung their thirteenth and last span on the 7th of May, and the Pencoyd Company swung their fourteenth and last span on the 11th of May. The entire superstructure was therefore erected in twenty-one working days. The shortest time consumed in the erection of one span was eight and one-half working hours.
Both companies were very well equipped with engines and tools for the purpose. The Pencoyd Company used two travelers [working from the Wrightsville side], thus enabling them to work at two points of the same span, or at two different spans at once. The Edgemoor Company used only one traveler [working from the Columbia side] consisting of four bents and occupying in length the equivalent of about half of a span. The bridge companies kept one gang of men constantly at work framing and raising the false works ahead of the erecting gangs.
The weather and other conditions were very favorable during the entire progress of the field work, and there were no serious delays from any cause.
The gross weight of the steel spans is about 1,410,000 lbs. These spans were furnished in place ready for cross-ties at a cost of about $282,000 exclusive of painting. All material was made of soft steel except pins and rollers, which are of medium steel. For information on this work we are indebted to the courtesy of Wm. A. Pratt, engineer of bridges for the railroad company.
The first engine and coach crossed the newly erected steel bridge from Wrightsville to Columbia on June 5, 1897. The Pennsylvania Railroad charged a toll for vehicle and pedestrian use; although trains always had first priority. The upper deck was never completed for vehicular traffic. The last train crossed the bridge on March 13, 1958. The bridge was dismantled for scrap during 1963 and 1964; while the stone piers remain.

Live Seinfeld cast?
LoganZ
Posted: November 25, 2004 3:25 AM
I recently saw Jerry on TV saying (roughly) that the four of them had been together again and felt like they could get right back into 'it'. Have they ever considered 'touring' together, performing their best scenes live in theaters or something to that effect?
I'm enjoying this boxset so much that - like a good album - I now feel like "going to the concert", like it's a reunion tour or something! People would pay a hefty ticket price, they could make a bundle of cash letting their fanbase cheer all four of them onstage together.
Anyways, I appreciate anyone who could comment on this. Thank you very much.
That is a great idea. No doubt they could squeeze a lot of cash here. But why to reunion only for a tour , they can produce another album (season ) together.
Where did you hear about them "getting back into it?" Jimmy doesn't believe it. He probably just meant that the chemistry together would still be there, and that they wouldn't miss a beat if they ever (hypothetically) did do anything.
They'd be making a big mistake to go on TV again. But the theater would be perfect because their ages wouldn't show on stage (their characters could still pass for mid-thirtyish to a distant audience, and hopefully, it wouldn't be captured forever in time on film. But they'd be better off doing new material in the same style, rather than previous scenes. They could never capture all of the classic moments the same again. They'd have to pick up right where they left off as if it were 1998 (no growing up or maturing BS). Even if it did bomb in the theaters... it wouldn't ruin the legacy of the show at all.
If they are considering getting back into it, it's now or never... they don't have too much longer to be able to pull it off, and it's already too late for TV. (IJHO)
That's the greatest idea , to do part in theaters. You know, what would be good. People vote for what scene they want when they buy the ticket, then the cast would redo it live. I think that I DON'T WANT any new material, because even if it's good we will say it's not really good cuz we'll subjectively rate it by comparing it to the other episode
Posted: November 26, 2004 12:03 AM
I think a lot of the dangers with doing "new" reunion TV-shows (or a movie) would be curbed by doing this. It would free them up from the specter of having to top what came before. If they wanted to change-up/improvise the old stuff, they'd be able to; any new stuff would certainly be appreciated, too. It would even be hard for any critic to really artistically compare it to the old show. I don't think what they did would really have to follow any kind of "story", either, people would just want to see them do their 'thing'.
Plus, having a live studio audience is exactly what they DID do for every single episode. And I would guess that getting live-laughs was more rewarding for them than a silent camera.
Of course, it'd be nice to get ALL the seasons out on DVD before doing this.
Thats a great idea. I know i would go and watch them re make the scenes again. It would be so cool.

'Police out to destroy me', claims Greek Cypriot MEP
A GREEK Cypriot MEP at the centre of an investigation into allegations that he sought bribes from a police officer has declared that he is the victim of a "vicious campaign" to discredit him.
July 28, 2004	5:00 pm
Marios Matsakis, from the Democratic Party of President Tassos Papadopoulos, is suspected of requesting a €16,000 backhander from a drug squad officer to help secure his acquittal on an attempted manslaughter charge.
He also faces accusations that he was involved in the illicit trade of ancient historical artefacts from the Turkish Cypriot-dominated north of the island.
Cypriot Attorney-General Solon Nikitas was expected to apply last week to the European Parliament to lift Matsakis' immunity from prosecution.
The application, delayed due to ongoing inquiries into the antiquities case, is now expected to be made early next week.
But speaking to European Voice, Matsakis declared he had done nothing wrong.
A former state forensic pathologist, he has sparked controversy in the past after giving evidence against the Cypriot police in several cases of alleged assault and human rights violations.
He said: "The Cypriot police are, basically, out to destroy me. These are trumped-up charges, which I completely deny."
Matsakis said he had "no intention" of either resigning his MEP seat or renouncing his immunity.
"Why should I? I've done nothing wrong," he said.
The bribery allegation arises from an incident in January in which a suspected drug dealer was shot and injured by a policeman in Nicosia. An investigator recommended, partly on the basis of evidence provided by Matsakis, attempted manslaughter charges against the officer.
The policeman subsequently alleged that Matsakis had asked him for a backhander in return for changing evidence at the trial, which will take place in November.
Matsakis denies this and the antiquities allegation, of which he says: "The allegation was made by the same police officer involved in the shooting purely on the grounds that I have antique furniture in my home. But since when was it a crime to possess antique furniture?"
A Cypriot police spokesman said they could not comment on individual cases.
