In the professional writing world, it pays—sometimes literally—to be able to write a lot in a short period of time without completely melting your brain.
Every once in awhile, it is important to take breaks and let your mind recoup. But there are a few ways you can work toward getting better at writing more without feeling brain dead at the end of the day, and we're here to share some of them with you.
We're going to focus on professional writing in this post—online publishing, articles, blogging—but some of these concepts can also be applied to some areas of creative writing, too.
If you're pursuing a professional writing career, there will be times you'll have to write about topics you're not completely familiar with—which yes, means you'll have to do a lot of research to give your project credibility. But outside of work, you have the freedom to write about what you know best. Always take advantage of the opportunity, even when writing seems to be wearing you down.
It's easy to ramble on and on and on about your so-called field of expertise, and sometimes that can be a good thing. When we write more, we train ourselves to lay out our points and arguments in an organized manner before trimming them down to a much more appealing 500 words or less.
There's a good reason anyone and everyone can start their own blog. Not just because it's easy, but because it allows people to write about whatever they want, whenever they want. This is why starting a blog is an excellent starting point for writers interested in making headway in a specific field. If you can practice writing more often by writing about things you really like writing about, you'll find yourself writing more, at pretty decent quality, without feeling completely drained afterward.
When you write about what you know, which you can easily balance with learning more about what you don't know so well in order to be able to write about that, too, it feels a lot less like work. Your "I'm writing this because I have to" attitude gets to go take a much-needed nap for a few hours.
Publishing often on your blog is an effective strategy; consistency is one of many keys to writing success. But sometimes even that can start to feel a bit tedious after awhile, even if you genuinely enjoy doing it. It's important to expand your horizons if you want to show you can write a lot and still write well.
Keep publishing on your blog, but also be on the lookout for other writing opportunities, even small ones. If you have some professional advice, LinkedIn is a nice way to self-publish. Is there a magazine looking for how-to articles on subjects you like? Are there blogs in your niche you can apply to guest post on?
Sometimes, the more work you give yourself, the more productive, and prolific, you'll be. Just start small, and don't commit to more than you can handle. Start off with your own blog and maybe another outlet, and grow your audiences there, then see where you can go from there, and if you have room in your schedule to fit it in.
The key to writing a lot, generally, is to make it a priority. But always remember that taking time to rest is still important. As you get more and more used to writing in large quantities (while still paying attention to quality, of course), you might have to schedule time to not write, instead of the other way around.
This is a good thing. If you take some time to practice how to best make it work for your life and schedule.
I like your post, I have the same opinion,having trouble with your dissertation or essay?check this out you will not regret.

Q: Getting a heap error when trying to free This smells like a heap corruption of some kind but I can not seem to find it.
the problem occurs on string_utils_replace() when trying to run free(tmp_for_free). the function is supposed to replace every occurrence of "search" with "replace" in "string".
char* string_utils_part_of_string(char *string, int from, int to)
{
    int size_to_allocate = to - from + 1;
    char *result = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char) * size_to_allocate);

    strncpy(result, string + from, to - from);
    result[size_to_allocate - 1] = '\0';

    return result;
}

char* string_utils_replace(char *search, char *replace, char *string)
{
    char *end, *result = string, *tmp_for_free = NULL;
    int before_replace, after_replace;
    int size_search = strlen(search);
    int size_replace = strlen(replace);
    int size_string, size_find;
    int first_time = 1;

    char *find = strstr(string, search);

    if (find == NULL)
        return string_utils_copy_string(string);

    while (find != NULL)
    {
        tmp_for_free = result;

        size_string = strlen(result);
        size_find = strlen(find);

        before_replace = size_string - size_find;
        after_replace = before_replace + size_replace;

        end = string_utils_part_of_string(result, after_replace, size_string);
        result = string_utils_part_of_string(result, 0, before_replace);
        strcat(result, replace);
        strcat(result, end);

        // no memory leaks, hooray!
        free(end);
        if (first_time == 0)
            free(tmp_for_free);

        size_string = strlen(result);
        find = strstr(result, search);
        first_time = 0;
    }

    return result;
}

any ideas?

A: As per the man page of strcat(),

char *strcat(char *dest, const char *src);
[..] and the dest string must have enough space for the result. If dest is not large enough, program behavior is unpredictable;

In your string_utils_part_of_string() function, you did not allocate enough memory to the result to be able to hold the entire input, and later, you're trying to use the same pointer to store the whole input, through strcat(). This is creating the memory overrun which in turn invokes undefined behaviour.
Note: Please do not cast the return value of malloc() and family in C.

A: You are causing a buffer overflow here:
    result = string_utils_part_of_string(result, 0, before_replace);
    strcat(result, replace);
    strcat(result, end);

result is allocated exactly before_replace+1 bytes and initialized with before_replace bytes from the beginning of string and a final '\0'.  You cannot concatenate replace and end to this array, it is full already.
The logic in your function is convoluted. You should simplify it.  For instance, you should first run a loop counting the number of occurrences of find in string, then allocate a buffer for the result, then run a second loop copying fragments of string and copies of replace.
You should also test if find is an empty string.  strstr() will always find the empty string, causing your algorithm to loop endlessly.

Can Physiotherapy help with my Rotator Cuff Injury?
Yes! Physiotherapists are first contact practitioners meaning you don't need a doctor's referral for an appointment with us. You also don't need an ultrasound or any other scan because our physiotherapists have extensive experience in shoulder assessment so that we can determine whether your shoulder pain is originating from your rotator cuff or from somewhere else. In addition to obtaining a clear clinical diagnosis, a thorough assessment will inform you on what you can be doing to hasten your recovery.
The rotator cuff are the 4 muscles that are position on your shoulder blade and through their tendons connect to your arm, forming a cuff at your shoulder joint. By taking the shape of a cuff, these muscles are able to assist in maintaining shoulder joint stability during movement. They also work to rotate your arm out; as if you are reaching to your side and rotate your arm in; as if you are placing your hand behind your back, hence the name "rotator cuff".
The rotator cuff is the leading cause of shoulder pain & shoulder disability. Injuries can occur with normal age-related muscle deterioration, excessive repetitive motion or traumatic causes like falling onto your arm or a sudden unexpected for when pushing. There are many other factors that contribute to rotator cuff becoming painful and targeting these factors is how physiotherapy leads to a successful recovery.
What treatment can I expect from physiotherapy?
Facilitate healing tissue by offloading with strapping, sling or brace and advice around what movements to avoid/ modify and whether heat or ice is applicable in your case.
Restore pain free movement with massage (and other soft tissue techniques) to shortened muscles and joint mobilisation to stretch stiffened joints of the shoulder & surrounds.
Achieve optimal shoulder motion with hands on techniques to loosen opposing structures and guidance on which exercises to focus on (and how to do them properly) to facilitate supportive structures.
Self-management is an important part of rehabilitation that maintains & builds on the improvements you receive from physiotherapist treatment. These are simple, easy to implement strategies & exercises that give you the power to accelerate your recovery.
How long will it take for my shoulder to get better?
As we've discussed before every shoulder is different and depending on the severity & duration of your injury treatment durations can range from several days to several months. You will know the treatment is working within the first 2-3 treatment sessions as you become a lot more comfortable and your mobility increases.
Call us at Wellers Hill Physiotherapy on 07 3892 7501 or at Woolloongabba on 3391 3331 for advice and appointments with Kath Armstrong, Tim Duffy and Dean Hargest.

[ARCHIVED] Yellow Line Moves to On-Call As Summer Service Begins
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO-May 29, 2020-Steamboat Springs Transit (SST) will officially move to its traditional summer service for the free bus starting Sunday, May 31. As summer service shifts in to gear, the Yellow Line will also move to an on-call basis while maintaining transportation options for passengers on this route.
"Providing convenient and reliable transit options for our community remains top of mind for us," commented Transit Manager Jonathan Flint. "Due to the coronavirus, we've had to change lanes to ensure that transportation options for the larger geographic area remain viable and shifting to on-call status for the Yellow Line made the most sense."
SST features the Red Line (West Steamboat, downtown, grocery stores and gondola base) and the Green Line (condominiums). Service on the Red and Green routes gets underway at 6:40 am and 6:31am respectively; and each line offers 20 minute service throughout the day. The last bus for the Red Line is at 7:40pm doing a Red/Green/Red loop before switching to the Night Line.
The Yellow Line will now provide forty-four on-call locations across its route and spans service from Hilltop to Colorado Mountain College and Fairview neighborhood to the high school. The Yellow Line drives into service at 7am and finishes at 6:20pm. Currently, construction on 7th Street between Oak and Lincoln has temporarily relocated the Space Station stop just up the block. Pickups within the Yellow Line on-call area can be requested a day in advance or on the same day; however, on-call service is on a first come, first served basis. On-call service can be arranged by calling 970.879.3717.
"SST is considered critical infrastructure and continues to run under Colorado's Safer at Home order," continued Flint. "As conditions change due to COVID-19, additional schedule changes may be required in the future, but we're making every effect to provide the best service possible in the most responsible manner."
Above normal cleaning, SST buses undergo an extensive sanitization process every night which follows Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) guidelines for coronavirus. In addition, paratransit vehicles are cleaned between customers and regional and local buses have drivers disinfecting high touch areas between each loop.
Use the latest in technology and never miss the bus. Learn when the next bus is due to arrive and see buses in real-time with RouteShout; plan your trip and see the fastest options for your journey with google maps; or visit your one-stop location for everything related to SST including the current schedule on our website or call 970.879.3717.

What is Candielle® and what is it needed for?
Candielle® is a multiphase dietary supplement pharmaceutical formula based on nutritional components.
The microbial-vaginal ecosystem consists of different species of lactobacilli that all together make up the "Doderlein Flora". These lactobacilli initiate a series of mechanisms so as to carry out a protective effect in defending the vaginal mucosa against aggression by pathogenic microbes; they do so by inhibiting microbes from adhering, growing and multiplying. Indeed, physiological and pathogenic events may considerably diminish the antagonistic action of the lactobacilli by altering the balance of the vaginal ecosystem, and thus favor opportunistic infections just like Candida (vaginal yeast infection). This is why taking selected lactic acid bacteria that make up the "Doderlein Flora", such as found in Candielle®, favors the correct vaginal colonization as it prevents Candida Albicans infections and reduces the risk of recurrence. Nucleotides act on gut cells by promoting their differentiation and maturation as well as by increasing intestinal immune defenses and favoring the growth of bacterial flora.
The exclusive grapefruit seed extracts are useful in keeping the yeast infection fungi under control.
Candielle® has Nucleotides as its active ingredient. Amilife® nucleotides have the unique and exclusive characteristic of being assembled and purified in these precise percentages: AMP 11%, CMP 10%, UMP Na 11%, GMP Na 12%. They are obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis from ribonucleic acid extracted from yeast. Amilife® is exclusively made for Candielle® because as a brand, Amilife identifies the purest in natural nucleotides. Nucleotides participate in several important physiological processes. They mainly act as "growth factors" on gut cells, by promoting their differentiation and maturation. Yet they also work to boost the intestinal immune defenses and promote the growth of bacterial flora, Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in particular. So that, nucleotides are an essential element in one's diet. It is already known that in many tissues, and in specific physiological phases of the organism's life, the amount of nucleotides needed is not satisfied by the endogenous synthesis. We refer in particular to some rapid turn-over cells, like those of the intestinal mucosa, which cannot produce nucleotides in enough quantities to cover their need. Regarding this point, it has been shown already by different studies that supplementing the diet with a food source rich in nucleotides plays a key role in overcoming critical phases, such as growth, recovery from trauma, surgical procedures and some infectious diseases. Yet, the studies found the major beneficial effects to be in regards to infections resulting from (vaginal yeast infection) Candida and from Staphylococcus aureus.
Many clinical studies have shown that treating bacterial vaginosis through lactic acid bacteria taken orally favors a correct vaginal colonization.
Lactobacillus Rhamnosus is a type of probiotic bacteria. According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, these bacteria are "live micro-organisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host".
Lactobacillus Rhamnosus helps to eliminate and prevent harmful bacteria from growing in the intestinal tract; it is one of the most studied probiotics; and, it is well-known and appreciated for its ability to survive and even thrive despite severe conditions in the digestive and urinary tract.
Candielle® also contains an exclusive Grapefruit Seed Extract (G.S.E). This natural compound is useful in keeping under control the fungi responsible for yeast infection, at intestinal level first and consequently vaginal level as well. Grapefruit seeds are one of the most effective natural substances (mostly containing bioflavonoids and glucosides), such that they are comparable to antibiotics.
The usual dose is 1 tablet per day, in the evening before bedtime. If you have any doubts, please consult your doctor or pharmacist. The Candielle® tablet must be taken with a glass of water /0.25 L. If you take more Candielle® than you should: in the event of ingestion/accidental ingestion of an excessive dose of Candielle®, consult your physician. There is no risk of overdose on the nutritional doses of components contained in Candielle®. Pregnancy and Nursing. There are not enough scientific studies available to establish the safety of intake during pregnancy. Therefore, pregnant women should use Candielle® cautiously and under medical supervision.
Driving vehicles or using machinery: Candielle® has no effect on the ability to drive or use machinery. Interactions: there are no interactions known about Candielle® interfering with other preparations. Adverse effects. In rare cases (> = 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000) gastrointestinal disorders (e.g. diarrhea and nausea) may occur which generally do not require suspending treatment.
Candielle® belongs to the Food supplement category and as such it has no adverse effects. In any case, supplements are not intended as substitutes for a varied diet; do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
Nucleotides (Amilife®); Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macfad.) dry extract seed titrated with 50% Bioflavonoids; Food jelly; Lactobacillus Rhamnosus LRH020-DSM 25568 10Mld/cps (SynBalance® Lrh); Caking agents: Magnesium salts of fatty acids, silicon dioxide.

Does White Pride Lead to Prejudice?
Does identifying as "White" predict negative attitudes towards diversity? That depends on how conscious you are of power, says new research.
By Rodolfo Mendoza-Denton | April 26, 2012
In recent years, research on White identity has gained traction in the psychological literature.
Researchers and clinicians have grown to realize that this group struggles with questions such as, "What does it mean to be White in my culture?" and, "What does being White mean to me?"
One of the most interesting—and important—questions relevant to White identity has to do with its relationship to intergroup atttitudes. Research looking into this question is all over the map, with some findings suggesting a positive link (that is, greater identification leading to more positive intergroup attitudes), other findings suggesting a negative link, and still others finding suggesting no link at all.
When science stumbles on these kinds of inconsistent, "all over the map" relationships, it usually means that there is another factor playing a role that researchers have not yet accounted for.
For example, ethnic identity among minority students has sometimes been linked to better academic outcomes, and sometimes linked to worse academic outcomes. My own research (Mendoza-Denton, Pietrzak, and Downey, 2008) has found that whether students worry that they may be discriminated against in their schooling context determines whether their ethnic identity serves as a strength or a risk factor.
My colleagues Matt Goren and Victoria Plaut at UC Berkeley have tackled the confusing relationship between White identity and intergroup attitudes in a 2011 paper published in the journal Self and Identity.
Goren and Plaut recognized that White identity is not a unitary phenomenon; rather, that it can take different forms. The researchers discovered that although some Whites were indeed weakly identified, those who identified strongly fell into two primary groups.
One group very much identified with being White, but in a way that allowed them to recognize White privilege (see this interesting post by Mikhail Lyubansky, "Ten Things Everyone Should Know About White Privilege Today"). The researchers called this group the the "power cognizant" group. The other group also identified with being White, but described their experience much more in terms of how proud they were to be a part of the group. This group the researchers termed the "prideful" group.
More on Prejudice and Diversity

Read Elizabeth Page-Gould's essay on the negative health effects of holding racist views.
Read Allison Briscoe-Smith's essay on teaching tolerance to kids
Once the researchers divided the highly identified Whites into these two groups, the picture rapidly came into focus.
Even though these two groups had similar levels of White identification, the power-cognizant group held significantly more positive attitudes towards diversity, as measured with items such as, "Universities should foster environments where differences are valued," and, "A university education should expose students to the important differences in ideas and vaues that exist in the world." The prideful group, by contrast, did not endorse these items as strongly, and showed a greater tendency towards prejudice than the power-cognizant group.
The key here is that if one were not to distinguish between these two groups, the research would have found no relationship at all between White identification and attitudes towards diversity!
There are two take-home points.
The first is that our scientific conclusions are limited by the types of questions we ask, so that few, if any, scientific findings are really the last word on a given topic.
The second is more subtle, and extremely important for positive intergroup relations. Just because someone has a strong ethnic identity, we cannot make direct conclusions about their attitudes on other topics. This applies not just to Whites, but to members of other groups as well.

CARBON CANYON – A brush fire burned through nearly 400 acres along Carbon Canyon Road on Thursday afternoon, as dry vegetation and warmer summer weather has authorities on guard against large-scale blazes.
Scattered hot spots were all that remained late Thursday of the fire that burned in the wildland area near Olinda Village as about 100 firefighters prepared to stay on the scene overnight to mop up what was left of the blaze.
At the fire's peak, about 250 firefighters responded to the blaze, aided by three helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft dropping water and flame retardant.
With the memories of a wet winter giving way to dry summer, officials from the predictive services branch of the U.S. Forest Service say we are in what they referred to as a "normal" fire season in Orange County, meaning that several large fires are projected for the region.
Crews have responded to multiple small vegetation fires over the past few weeks, but the Carbon Canyon blaze was the first large-scale fire of the year.
"If you put wind and terrain or a slope, coupled with the fire and the low-humidity, that is a recipe for a fast-moving fire," Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Greg McKeown said.
First breaking out about 11:15 a.m. near Carbon Canyon Road, officials thought they had the upper hand on Thursday's blaze by early afternoon.
Winds picked up, however, and flames began moving to the north and east. The fire grew rapidly as it flared and entered brushy areas inaccessible to firefighters, and by 4 p.m., the blaze had grown to encompass 390 acres.
"It just made a run and burned a lot of acreage in a short period of time," said Chief Wolfgang Knabe of the Brea and Fullerton fire departments.
Firefighters ended up battling the blaze on two fronts.
To the east, firefighters stopped the blaze from progressing toward Olinda Village. While a backup evacuation plan was put together, residents were ultimately allowed to stay at their homes, and no structure damage was reported.
To the north, crews prevented the blaze from damaging radio repeaters on the hillside or moving toward Los Angeles County.
Despite moving at a relatively low speed, the blaze frustrated crews by jumping fire lines several times throughout the afternoon.
Weather ultimately worked for firefighters, Knabe said, with lower temperatures and light winds in the late afternoon allowing them to get a handle on the fire.
The fire was 75 percent contained late Thursday night, with crews expecting to get it fully contained by Friday morning. Strike team members remained on call overnight in case the blaze once again flared up.
High humidity like we've seen over the past few days usually helps suppress ignition of wildfires, said Tom Rolinski, a predictive services meteorologist.
"This is kind of coming right on schedule," he said of the monsoon moisture. "It keeps the fine, dead fuels like grasses a little more moist."
He said he could not yet make predictions about Santa Ana wind season, which tends to dry out vegetation and whip up any fires that ignite. The winds could come as early as September.
Fire officials may have to make due with fewer resources, as budget cuts forced Cal Fire this week to cancel its contract for the nation's largest air tanker, the DC-10, which can carry 12,000 gallons of fire retardant. Officials say other tankers are available, but they are smaller ones.
The effect of the loss of the tanker on local firefighting efforts is unclear. It is used in only the largest of wildfires, but officials say it can be a vital tool when battling blazes such as the 2008 Freeway Complex fire.
Even with the rains earlier in the year, vegetation in the area is still dry, leading officials to put as many resources as quickly as they can on emerging fires before they can get out of control.
"We definitely urge folks if they see smoke or a fire to report it to 911," McKeown said.

Ubisoft has released a launch trailer for their upcoming third-person shooter RPG, Tom Clancy's The Division 2. The trailer serves as a primer for the story of the new game, which involves special agents of the Strategic Homeland Division battling against the chaos from a resulting smallpox pandemic. While the last game saw players take to the snow-covered streets of New York City, The Division 2 brings them to Washington D.C.. Seven months later, the government is in disarray, with the leaders having been killed or missing, while there are now signs that those aligned against The Division are beginning to organize into their own forces.
The Division 2 launches March 15th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Q: Django admin - how to change choices in inlines? How can I change choices of a field in Inlines class? I can't use formfield_for_choice_field in Inlines, so what to use?
I must generate it in admin, because I need request to be passed.

A: if your field is a IntegerField or Charfield with the choices attribute, you can override the formfield_for_choice_field method in your inline class with something like this:
class YourInline(admin.StackedInline): # or TabularInline
    model = YourModelName

    def formfield_for_choice_field(self, db_field, request=None, **kwargs):
        if db_field.name == 'YOUR_FIELD_NAME':
            kwargs['choices'] = (('', '---------'), ('1', 'Choice1'), ('2', 'Choice2'))
        return db_field.formfield(**kwargs)

good luck

A: in my case, the form option must be filled, hope help anyone.
# admin.py
class YourInlineForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        fields = '__all__'
        model = YourModelName
        widgets = {
            'level': forms.widgets.Select(
                choices = (
                    (0,'A'),
                    (1,'B'),
                    (2,'C'),
                ),
            )
        }

# admin.py
class YourInline(admin.StackedInline): # or TabularInline
    model = YourModelName
    form = YourInlineForm

    def formfield_for_choice_field(self, db_field, request=None, **kwargs):
        if db_field.name == 'YOUR_FIELD_NAME':
            kwargs['choices'] = (('', '---------'), ('1', 'Choice1'), ('2', 'Choice2'))
        return db_field.formfield(**kwargs)

A: I agree with eos87's answer. It is only a partial solution however. When saving, a validation error occurs since the original model's choices are being used for validation. To solve that problem, add this function to your model as well:
def clean_fields(self, exclude=None):
    exclude.append('YOUR_FIELD_NAME') # we will do our own validation on this field
    super(YOUR_MODEL, self).clean_fields(exclude = exclude)

    value = self.YOUR_FIELD_NAME
    if value and not self.validChoice(value):
        msg = 'Select a valid choice. %s is not one of the available choices.'
        errors = {''YOUR_FIELD_NAME'': ([msg % value])}
        raise ValidationError(errors)

def validChoice(self, value):
  # add your validation code here


We have successfully completed the design of a new Asian Development Fund/EU funded investment project with total funding of US$76 million in Afghanistan. The design has been completed both on time and within budget, and has now been approved by the Asian Development Fund board for implementation.
The Panj-Amu River Basin Sector Project will increase agricultural productivity in the Panj-Amu River Basin through improving access and use of water at farm, scheme and river levels. The project supports the government's strategy, which aims to increase per-capita income and reduce poverty among rural and pastoral communities.
Afghanistan is one of the least developed countries in the world; the poverty headcount rate is 39%. While 79% of the national work force depends on agriculture for a living, only 12% (or 64.4 million hectares (ha)) of the country's terrain is arable. Limited access to irrigation water and sporadic irrigation has been the primary cause for crop yields below the world average.
The project will improve cropping intensities, irrigated areas, and crop yields on a command area of 74,500 ha. As a result, annual farm incomes will increase in the range of $123-615 per household for over 55,000 households, and approximately 11,000 full-time rural jobs will be created per annum, with an estimated value of $10.4 million per annum.
We will also see an improvement in food security, as home-grown wheat takes the place of imported food stuffs, leading to greater food self-sufficiency, as well as an increase in exports of high-value products such as fruit and nuts. The project will also create more economic opportunities for agribusiness development, particularly for input suppliers and processors of agricultural products and for market intermediaries.

A new constitutive model is presented that aims to accurately tackle the effects of multiaxial loading, strain rate and hydrostatic pressure on unidirectional FRPs, while doing so in an intuitive and physically-based manner. In this model, it is assumed that yielding occurs primarily due to shear stresses acting on a critical localisation plane while normal compressive stresses on this plane have a strengthening effect similar to pressure effects in a Drucker-Prager model. In this way, the orientation of the localisation plane, which depends on the stress state of the material, deals with the issue of multiaxiality and the pressure-dependency is accounted for by the Drucker-Prager based yield criterion.The main appeal of this approach is that a complex three-dimensional problem is reduced to essentially a case of 2D plasticity, which is conceptually very simple and easier to interpret. In addition, this model is supported by a strong physical basis, as it is constructed from the well-established Mohr-Coulomb and Drucker-Prager theories.A series of experimental results are provided that support the hypotheses on which this theory is based and against which the model has been benchmarked, showing its ability to reproduce the complex observed effects of multi-axial loading, strain-rate and pressure.

Sony shakes up Mobile Communications leadership
The company says that Kunimasa Suzuki is the new president and CEO of the division, and Bert Nordberg is now chairman of the division's board.

Sony has been spending an inordinate amount of time lately changing up its leadership. And it has done it again today.
The company today announced that Kunimasa Suzuki has been named president and CEO of Sony Mobile Communications. Current president and CEO Bert Nordberg will leave his post on May 16 and assume his new position as chairman of the Sony Mobile Communications' board.
Sony's move puts the final touches on its recent buyout of Sony Ericsson. Nordberg was president and CEO of the former Sony Ericsson, and was widely viewed as the next person to go as Sony tries to reshape its focus and new CEO Kazuo Hirai finds people that he wants to lead each division.

"Kuni has a vast experience in product planning and management in the information technology and mobile product business, as well as experience of cultivating business in emerging markets," Hirai said today in a statement. "He is a strong leader and the right person to oversee Sony Mobile Communications as we establish a new business structure as 'One Sony' intended to reinforce and accelerate our overall business management."
Sony's "One Sony" initiative was announced last month, and centers on the idea that gaming, mobile, and digital imaging will become the "three core pillars" of the company's operation. As part of that refocusing, Sony announced a host of new executive appointments last month across a wide array of areas; Nordberg's dismissal is the just the latest in that string of moves.
Hirai became Sony CEO on Sunday. He replaced former chief executive Howard Stringer, who is now serving as the electronics giant's board chairman.

An insider's guide to Beijing, China
Kirsten Zhang, the PR manager of Singapore Airlines' Beijing office on what to see, do and eat in the Chinese capital
Story by SilverKris Magazine
Published on October 28, 2018, Updated on October 28, 2018
Be sure to sample the local specialty of Peking duck at Siji Minfu Restaurant, next to the Forbidden City. The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere, complete with views of the palace moat. For light bites, check out 1901 Café, which is housed in an early-20th-century church. With its quaint décor and old-world vibe, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time.
Unwind with a tipple or two at China Bar. Located on the 65th floor of Park Hyatt Beijing, it offers bird's-eye views of the central business district. If you're looking to hit the dance floor, head to Club Sir Teen. It's the hottest club in the city with a roster of top international DJs and numerous celebrities in attendance.
I'd highly recommend taking a 20-minute hike to the highest pagoda in Jingshan Park, where you can drink in panoramic views of the city – just like the emperors of ancient China did hundreds of years ago. Then, do as the locals do and cycle around the hutongs (alleys) and lakes in the Houhai neighbourhood. Mobikes can be found almost anywhere in the city – download the mobile app and scan the QR code on the bicycle to get going. If you're a fan of live performances, head to the National Centre for the Performing Arts – an architectural marvel in its own right – to see what's showing.
While away an afternoon at Wangfujing Street, one of Beijing's main shopping thoroughfares. Here, you'll find traditional stores and teahouses alongside new and modern malls. Alternatively, if you're a fan of vintage curios, Panjiayuan Antique Market is the place to be. Rummage for everything from jewellery and pottery to furniture, and don't forget to haggle.
Plan your daily tours well by splitting things up into different areas as the city is huge and there are lots of things to explore. Also, be aware of traffic and register a WeChat account – it supports over 20 languages and will help you with everything you need.

After feeling somewhat uninspired for today's manicure as well as exhausted from going to a wedding fair yesterday (with tons of wedding swag!), I left it up to my fiancé to choose a movie and he went with "Life of Pi". My tiger stripes aren't done in the traditional style, but I sort of like 'em!
I started off with three coats of Zoya – Arizona, one coat of China Glaze – 5 Golden Rings and then painted on the stripes, pi sign and French tip with black acrylic paint.
Pi! haha reminds me of my school days!
Very cute! Also very Halloween appropriate :) I loved the book Life of Pi but I've never seen the movie!
LOL, I just realized that they were on theme with Halloween! I read the book first and really enjoyed it.
This looks so cute! I really like that orange, you did an awesome job, Jayne!
Thank you Christa! I really didn't know what to draw...I'm burning out man!
cool! have you read the book? i actually own it but haven't gotten around to it. i've also seen the trailer for the movie version - it's interesting!
I read the book when it first came out so years ago! You should read it! It's quite good!
Cute! I love the orange and the added glitter!
Thank you! Orange and gold is one of my favourite combinations.
Haha, that's so cute! Glad I could give you your geekout for the day!
I think your tiger stripes look awesome, Jayne!
Thanks Traci! Yes, he did a little dance when I took his suggestion and gave him credit for it!
I actually love that your stipes are untraditional.. and I really want to see that movie too it looks super interesting!

Puma Unveil Self-Lacing Training Shoes
Wearables, News, Wearables, Wearables by Orlaith Costello February 12, 2019 February 12, 2019 Share
German fitness brand, Puma, has announced its own self-lacing sneakers not long after Nike unveiled its self-lacing footwear.
Dubbed "Fi" for "Fit Intelligence," are training shoes designed for running and light workouts with smart sensing technology that allows the shoes to recognise and adapt its fit to the individual wearer.
The Fi sneakers feature a control module on top of the shoe which contains a micromotor that pulls the blue "laces" that run through the sneaker to the preferred tightness of the wearer — this can be adjusted via a smartphone app or Apple Watch.
"We have created a product that speaks to the future of sport which is life in motion. It's fast and changing all the time," says Charles Johnson, PUMA's Global Director of Innovation, in a released statement.
The FI sneakers are the follow-up to the AutoDisc, Puma's first wirelessly connected self-lacing sneakers released in 2016. But they claim the FI sneakers are "smaller, lighter, and more commercial"
These self-lacing sneakers can be charged with a Qi wireless charging pad, and the battery life is claimed to last for around five days. Not as extensive as the two-weeks boasted by Nike's HyperAdapt BBs.
In order to ensure their commercial viability, PUMA has asked "tech-savvy people" to take part in its beta test of the FI, to make it "even more smarter and more powerful".
As the only "smart" aspect of the shoes are the self-lacing feature, one would hope that like the rereleased 1986 RS-Computer shoe, the FI would eventually including tracking capabilities for distance or calories burned.
PUMA will announce when the beta-test registration is open on PUMATrac and its website.
To be in with a chance of trying out the shoe, the Beta Test will be open to everyone via PUMA's app PUMATRAC, available on the Apple store and Google Play store.
The Fi training shoe is slated for an official commercial launch in 2020, retailing for US$330, about US$20 cheaper than Nike's HyperAdapt BBs.

Tv Serial show | Entertenment | 2021 | Lockdown Impact: Will TV Shows With Low Ratings Shut Shop? | Today News |
Entertenment NEWS
Mumbai: With shoots coming to a halt in Maharashtra owing to the resurgent wave of Covid cases, the TV industry has been the worst hit. Episode banks are fast drying up, and although many shows have moved out to alternative locations as Goa, long-term sustenance of such a plan of action may not be feasible for all producers, given the fact that television is a platform that demands a regular flow of content.
Under the present circumstances, there are rumours that many producers are considering ending their shows, especially the ones with low ratings.
Among shows that moved out of the state are "Hamari Wali Good News", "Kundali Bhagya", "Kumkum Bhagya" and "Qurbaan Hua". According to sources, "Shaadi Mubarak", starring Rati Pandey and Manav Gohil, is on a break. They aired new episodes till April 20. The break was prompted after Manav tested positive, which made the producers decide that the cast shouldn't travel because there were kids.
opular shows such as "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah" and "Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!" are so far relying on episode banks created before lockdown to keep fresh episodes rolling. However, the makers are not sure about how to continue once they run out of fresh content.
Asit Kumarr Modi, creator of "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah", says they have an episode bank till early May, and reruns are not an option for a popular show.
"At present, airing reruns is not on the cards. We might consider shooting outside Maharashtra, but for that we have to take into consideration everyone's health and safety first. It's under discussion," he says, adding: "We are staying at home because right now nothing is more important than the health and safety of everyone. The ongoing episodes were shot in advance. The show has an episode bank that should sail us through until May 3," he told IANS.
However, JD Majethia, chairman, Indian Film and Television Producers Council (IFTPC), has gone on record that there are a few shows that might consider closing down.
"Some may (close down). But (there is) no confirmation from the channels (as of now)," he says, adding, "This is the biggest fear for television. This kind of break can take away viewers."
He adds: "Right now if lockdown is till April 30 and May 2, if shoots start in Mumbai, then I don't see any show going off air. It's IPL (season) and broadcasters will also not like to take any show off air now. They will not be able to replace them so soon with other shows. But if lockdown continues, shows that did not have good ratings will go off air and channels may reintroduce their successful shows as repeats."
Actress Shubhangi Atre, who plays Angoori Bhabhi in "Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain" and who is currently battling Covid, says her show has an episode bank but they need to get back to the set soon as possible.
"Our show isn't being shot for the time being. We have a bank of episodes but shoot needs to start soon. We are waiting for an update. However, I am still battling Covid. My body is in the recovery period," she says.
Actress Mitali Nag, who is part of the show "Gum Hai Kisi Ke Pyar Mein", says in the case of shows that have moved outside Maharashtra, the entire team is not present. Only the people required for the shoot have been travelling.
"We did have a bank earlier, when the team moved to Goa. Due to Covid, everyone is not flying. They are only flying whoever is required. We still have a bank and the storyline has not changed as of now. Only, the location has changed. I am also going to fly there soon," she says.

West African countries choose new 'ECO' single trade currency
03 Jul West African countries choose new 'ECO' single trade currency
Posted at 08:15h in News	by	Info Amcham
As part of its plans to make Africa a more integrated continent, leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have adopted the name 'ECO' for a planned single currency to be used in the region.
The 15 member group announced at the end of an ECOWAS summit in Abuja, Nigeria's capital on Saturday.
Six member countries, including Nigeria, Liberia, and Ghana, could be swapping their currencies for a new one – the ECO.
Eight ECOWAS countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo) currently jointly use the CFA franc.
Originally intended to be launched in 2000, the ECO has been postponed multiple times, and the newest target date is 2020.
According to an internal document seen by CNN, ECOWAS will be working with the West African Monetary Agency (WAMA), the West Africa Monetary Institute (WAMI) and central banks to speed up the implementation of a new road map for the proposed single trade currency.
ECO is supposed to boost economic development in the West African region and improve cross border trade.
If implemented, countries across the region will be able to move and spend money across different countries without worrying about exchange rate costs says economic analyst, Tokunbo Afikuyomi.
"The single currency if properly implemented will improve trade by allowing specific countries to specialize at what they are good at, and exchange it for other goods that other countries in the bloc produce more efficiently," he told CNN.
The single currency will also help to address the region's monetary problems like the difficulty in converting some of its currencies and the lack of independence of central banks.
But despite these possible benefits, analysts remain worried about the lack of integration policies among member countries in the region.
According to Afikuyomi, a single currency will only work if all the countries involved are economically aligned, which is not the current case.
"The Guinean economy, for example, has a GDP of around $7 billion, that's less than Nigeria's 13th largest state, Abia with $8.7 billion. This difference in economies already makes a sensible uniform policy like the trade currency very difficult," he said.
The African Development Bank Group (Afdb) in a report says the 2020 deadline for the single currency will most like be postponed again unless the region can align with its monetary and fiscal policies.

SWITZERLAND, Zurich — Based on breaking news and events, it appears that the Obama administration (the behest of CIA Headquarters beneath Lake Geneva) is plotting an attack on the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta which will take place in New Mexico on October 3-11, 2015.
Exactly what type of terror is planned for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is not known, but a future scenario in which one or more balloons are hijacked and used to execute attacks in New Mexico or neighboring states likely Arizona and California is the most likely terror scenario.
That being said, the wave of hot air balloons may come under attack by so-called domestic terrorists armed with automatic machine guns (i.e., AR-15s), causing a great many of the balloons to crash and burn. Naturally, this type of attack would be used by Obama to pass draconian gun control legislation.
The CIA could also engineer a so-called "accident" or "natural disaster" during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (e.g., biological outbreak, dust storm, fire, gas explosion, melee, stampede, vehicular manslaughter attack, etc.) which would also kill and terrorize thousands of people in attendance.
It's also possible that the CIA could use the international hype and coverage of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in order to execute a Mumbai-like terror attack (simultaneous attacks on multiple locations) elsewhere in New Mexico while the world is collectively fixated on the annual balloon festival.
The notion of a hot air balloon-related crash was recently witnessed back on July 3, 2015, when a pilot reportedly glided his balloon down after crash at a Utah balloon festival. Whether the incident was staged is not known, but it has set the precedent for hot air balloon-related terror nonetheless.
Three days later on July 6, 2015, it was reported that the Canadian man who flew a balloon chair over Calgary was criminally charged. The incident was likely staged in order to associate hot air balloons with both criminals and cities just prior to a state-sponsored terror attack.
Roughly 3-weeks later on July 26, 2015, it was reported that a world record was broken when 433 hot air balloons were launched. The record breaking launch was apparently a publicity stunt designed to highlight hot air balloons on an international level just prior to a horrific state-sponsored terror attack.
Three weeks later on August 16, 2015, 3 people were reportedly injured when their hot air balloon landed on electrical wires in Pennsylvania. Whether the incident was staged is not known, but it has set the precedent for hot air balloon-related terror nonetheless.
Roughly a month later on September 12, 2015, CBS published a report entitled "Neighbors Shocked When Giant Google Balloon Falls From Sky Onto Quiet SoCal Street". Whether the street landing was staged is not known, but it has set the precedent for hot air balloon-related terror nonetheless.
Roughly a week later on September 20, 2015, it was reported that a hot air balloon landed in a neighborhood in Fresno, California. Whether the street landing was staged is not known, but it has set the precedent for hot air balloon-related terror nonetheless.
Considering that California has suffered two shocking hot air balloon landings, it's likely that one or more of the hot air balloons from Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta will be hijacked and flown to California where it will be used in an aerial-related terror attack.
Although California has plenty potential targets to choose from, beaches and theme parks such as Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, etc. are the most likely to suffer a state-sponsored terror attack.
In what may be the California beach slated for hot air balloon terror, it was reported back on September 24, 2015, that the Dockweiler State Beach was closed due to tampons, condoms and needles, a most ridiculous claim as California beaches are generally pristine in nature.
Whether the timely closure of the Dockweiler State Beach provided the necessary cover for the installation of weapons and/or explosives is not known, but it's highly likely. Said weapons and/or explosives could be utilized at a later date in a coordinated state-sponsored hot air balloon-related terror attack.
Lastly, Dockweiler State Beach is unique in that it has a hang gliding training area and therefore a hot air balloon would likely go unnoticed until it was too later. Also, part of the beach is located directly under the flight path of the adjacent Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Consequently, a rouge hot air balloon could shoot down a low-flying civilian airliner, resulting in mass casualties.

Wow - it looks like writing all that dry stuff about file organization and version control drained all my SketchUp mojo but, not to worry, I'm still out here playing with our favorite Google toy. I didn't miss the announcement that 7.1 was released; I even went so far as to install it. Did anyone else think that for a point release that was a big install? I watched the video about the most obvious new features but as I'm not much of a Google Earth modeler I haven't played with them yet. I was pleased to see that the handling of large models does seem much faster although SU still doesn't seem to be taking advantage of the multi-cores my PC has available.
I did participate in the latest SketchUcation 30 minute challenge on the theme of video games. I still think that taking part in these fast challenges teaches a great deal. This time I knew exactly what I wanted to model and I studied the source material available sketching out the various structures old-school-style with pencil and paper. I even listed a loose script of how to spend the 30 minutes to achieve this model. What did that teach me when the plan started falling apart? You have to be able to improvise and use other tools and techniques available to you when your usual methods fail.
The model you see is not the one submitted to the contest but is what I achieved after my timed modeling time had ended and I refined a lot of the unfinished threads.


The ATH-CKR7TW in-ear headphones are equipped with the AKM AK4375 DAC with headphone amplifier to ensure clear and accurate sound reproduction from the Bluetooth wireless signal. Compatibility with the high-quality aptX codec further improves the wireless sound. The headphones are equipped with a mic and button control for convenient handling of calls, music playback and volume adjustment on smartphones and other devices. Users can also access the Audio-Technica Connect app on their smartphone to quickly and easily adjust headphone settings.
Great sound quality and battery life. The Audio Technica Connect app could be improved, but overall is good. Best true wireless on the market for the price.
Audio range is very dependant on using the correct eartips. I like Comply for comfort and overall sound. The included soft silicone tips are good if they fit your ear. Very clean audio with no distortion. Great stereo mix but sound stage is a bit linear, not a great feel of depth. I feel like I am on the stage instead of in front of it. Overall using these with EQ off, provides a very nice realistic sound. Bass is nice, dependant on ear tip fit. If you don't have good bass, try a different tip. Earphones are solid and provide a feel of quality. Blue-tooth signal is good but has cut out briefly while walking. A full charge of the battery, may improve that. Charging case is of substantial size with magnetic securing of earphones. Charging cable is SHORT, I replaced mine with longer. Might be time to upgrade to modern USB C instead of mini. Looking forward to spending much more time with these, my 1st wireless earphones. I own and use Audio Technica over ear headphones and like the sound profile, ( neutral ), the company provides.
do they have multipoint bluetooth ? meaning, can they connect to multiple devices at the same time, and switch effortlessly ?
No they do not have multipoint.
Are these water resistant or water proof at all?
There is no IP Rating for the ATH-CKR7TW.
Is there a way to turn off the glowing led indicator lights on the product while in use? If not, is this something that can considered with a firmware update? I'm not a fan of the slowly pulsing led lights. Would prefer if they were completely off.
At this time, no there is not.
Hello when will this be available in Iceland?
Does ATH-CKR7TW only have mic on right earbuds and make phone call only by right one? thanks!
What is the IP water resistance rating for this product?
When will this product be available for purchase?
When is the product coming out in Germany?
