Disadvantages of Polycarbonate

When carbon is bonded to three oxygen molecules by a condensation polymerisation process, the resulting product is a polycarbonate material. Polycarbonates were actually first developed in 1898 by Alfred Einhorn, a German chemist, with subsequent research existing until 1930, at which time the material was cast aside. Not until the mid 1950s, when General Electric reintroduced the material, did polycarbonate start gaining in popularity, according to The Plastics Web.
Production Disadvantages
Producing polycarbonate requires high processing temperatures, making it more costly to manufacture, according to The Plastics Web. Consequently the price of polycarbonate exceeds that of standard acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) general purpose plastic resin. Also, polycarbonate is susceptible to degradation when exposed to processing equipment for an extended period.
Polycarbonate possesses only fair resistance to chemicals, according to PolymerTechnology & Services, LLC. Because of this lower resistance factor, polycarbonate deteriorates when exposed to many organic solvents.
Polycarbonate material exhibits aromatic sensitivity or is prone to absorb odours, according to The Plastics Web. Although polycarbonate rates high for impact strength when compared to ABS, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or acrylic, it is subject to stress cracking.

Asking all District churches of the Church of God In India-Kerala State, to adopt and implement measurable steps to evangelize and disciple unreached people groups inside and outside of their own regions (Matthew 28:18-20; Romans 15:19-24; Revelation 5:9).


Our next Alpha Course starts on Sunday 17th September from 10:30-12:15 and will be held in The Ark Conservatory.
Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to sit down on a Sunday morning with a cuppa, a slice of cake and explore the Christian faith. Each week there is a short presentation followed by a discussion.
No question is too simple or too hostile. This is a free course designed specifically for people who do not know Jesus as their Saviour and will run for 8 Sundays.
We're really looking forward to sharing lunch as a church family after the service on Sunday 17th September.
This is also the first week of the Alpha course, so we will be able to invite those who are attending Alpha to stay and eat with us following their first meeting.

Q: How to change the base branch for a pull request after creation? I am a bit new to GitHub. I am not sure if what I am trying to do has a name (e.g rebase) but here is what I am trying to do:

*

*I forked a repo, lets say foo on main_branch.

*I cloned the repo locally.

*I did some changes on the main_branch.

*I pushed to my forked repo main_branch.

*I pull requested my main_branch to be merged with upstream main_branch.

So far so good. However, I want to change the base branch of that pull request now to be new_feature_branch instead of main_branch. Meaning, if I push any local changed to new_feature_branch, it would update the pull request automatically (Just like I do now with main_branch).
Is this possible after having created the pull request?

A: You can change the branch your pull request is targeting by simply editing your pull request from the GitHub interface:

Simply click on "edit" to open up the pull request edit form:

And there, you can simply click on the target branch drop down to choose a different branch you want your pull request to apply.
Note that this will not change the contents of the commits within your pull request. So after doing this, you might need to rebase the branch in your fork upon that new base to make sure that it will only include the commits you actually made.
To do that, simply run git rebase upstream/new-base-branch. Afterwards, you will have to force-push the rewritten commits to your branch using git push --force. Note that this will overwrite the existing commits on that branch.

If however you want to change what branch of your repository the pull request should take the commits from (e.g. my-feature in the screenshots above), then that will not be possible. You will have to live with that branch for as long as the pull request exists.
Branches are just names though, so if you accidentally used a branch that was meant for something else, you can just temporarily use a different branch name for that other thing until the pull request is resolved.

Showing posts with label testicle festival. Show all posts
How U-Turn Cam votes: Larry does his bit: Old farts on tour: Testicle festival: Hanging out in Pompey: and Kids Compo.
'Tis cold, cloudy and damp at the Castle this morn, it chucked it down last dark thing and after a 14 hour shift the kitchen is empty of other people's problems.
My mobile rang at 6pm last eve and an Indian accented "lady" asked to speak with Angus Dei which confused me somewhat because he doesn't exist, but I would like to know how "they" got my phone number.
I see that Brucie has finally gotten his knighthood, the Piss Poor Policy Coalition club of Millionaires is about to do yet another 180, and 250 Jobs are to go at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
In order-bit late, no surprise, and "we are all in this together".
Here is the list of U-Turn Cam's voting preferences in the House of Commons
It does explain quite a lot.
Meanwhile back in Downing Street it appears that at least one resident is actually doing a proper job.
U-turn Cam has announced that Larry the Downing Street cat has made his first kills since being brought in to deal with rats at Number 10.
But the tabby tomcat has not been catching rats, but mice, said the Prime Minister.
Mr Cameron revealed that his historic London townhouse is infested with mice, and that he has even spotted one in the flat he occupies with wife Samantha and their children above 11 Downing Street.
''I'm a big Larry fan,'' the PM told ITV1's This Morning. ''We have got big mouse infestation in Downing Street and Larry has caught some mice.
''I actually took a picture of one in my flat on my mobile phone, because it was looking at me.''
Mr Cameron said he was not scared of mice, but added: ''Rats I'm frightened of, but I haven't seen any of those.''
So why does he keep so many around him in the sideboard?
Across the big wavy thing to the left
It started with a missed exit.
Headed to his daughter's house off West Road, Salomon Gasca, 78, along with his wife, Lorenza Gasca, 73, turned east onto Interstate 10 and kept going.
Three hours later, they knew they had gone too far. But they kept driving.
Salomon Gasca, who doctors say displays the early onset stages of Alzheimer's, suffers from poor eyesight. His wife cannot read. Neither could read the road signs indicating they had crossed several state lines.
Nearly 30 hours after they left their grandson's graduation party and 500 miles past their daughter's house, the Gascas pulled into what they thought was a rest stop.
"We'll be safe here," Salomon Gasca assured his wife. "There's police."
After circling the parking lot for several minutes to get situated for a long night's rest, the Gascas finally attracted the attention of one.
The family suggested that they would limit their parents' driving in the future as well as take precautionary measures to ensure they can be located easily in case of another accident.
How about a harness.....
Up a fair bit
There's quite a deal being offered in DC this weekend, assuming you have the balls to stomach it.
On Saturday night, roughly 500 people are expected to gather at the Arlington chapter of the American Legion for the 7th annual Montana State Society Testicle Festival-- also known as 'Testy Fest.'
This juice frontier delicacy is a special joy for Northwestern folks living inside (or just beyond) the Beltway.
For just $20 ($25 at the door), the festival offers "all the Crown Royal you can drink and all the balls you can eat," festival organizer Brittany Beauliue says Bull testicles, that is, also known as Rocky Mountain oysters or cowboy caviar.
Festival organizers say the event will have 60 pounds of prepared bull testicles, sliced, fried and peeled to perfection.
Yum, yum....
Back in the bottom bit of Blighty
A group of naked cyclists have ridden through Portsmouth despite protests.
The World Naked Bike Ride, a nationwide protest over car culture and oil dependency, was held in the city for the first time.
Almost 1,000 people signed a petition to try to stop the event, which they described as "indecent" and "offensive".
Naked bike ride organiser Ian Henden said it was "perfectly legal". Police were on duty for the event.
The bike ride had been organised by environmental campaigners as part of World Naked Bike Ride, in which cyclists wore little or no clothes in participating towns and cities across the world.
The route, which was about six miles (9.6km), started at the Canoe Lake, and went through old Portsmouth, the city centre and then back through Southsea.
Section 66 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 makes it an offence for a person intentionally to expose their genitals where they intend that someone will see them and be caused alarm or distress.
Bit nippy for that sort of thing.....
Still in the land of "accident" lawyers.
A schoolboy who fell over and cut his knee in a PE class was awarded more than £2,500 compensation and a schoolgirl injured in a game of Frisbee received an £879 payout.
The claims were part of a £57,000 compensation bill footed by Rotherham Council for mishaps and lost property at schools in the borough in the last five years.
A girl who fell down concrete steps on a tricycle got £6,250, another girl who broke her wrist trampolining won £1,092, while one girl who tripped on anti-slip felting was awarded £1,003.
In another case, a schoolboy received £5,750 when he sued a school after being splashed with custard when he was bumped into by a fellow pupil.
Rotherham Council also paid out more than £450 for mobile phones, jewellery, clothes and other items lost at school premises.
I blame the parents.
That's it: I'm orf to hunt for bugs.
And today's thought: A lawyer with a briefcase can steal more than a thousand men with guns.

It's critical that you build your pop-up campaign around your audience rather than around your brand. You need to know who your target audience is, what they value, where they are located and the type of experience they're likely to engage with. Understanding your prospects will enable you to focus on identifying the optimal locations to reach them – this is absolutely critical.
Of course, once you've planned your pop-up campaign, you're going to need to put the word out. Handing out flyers is great, but you should also remember to make use of social media – which is not only extremely powerful but also 100% free!
Savvy marketers will also utilise key influencers (bloggers, celebrities etc.) in their industry as a way to attract a wider audience to their pop-up events. Inviting key influencers along and getting them to live tweet using a custom hashtag and share pictures from the event on sites like Facebook and Instagram is a great way to spread the word about your pop-up campaign, and get as many people involved in the experience as possible!

22 Veterans Commit Suicide Every Day. He Was Almost One of Them. Here's What He's Doing Now to Help Others
After coming home from two tours in Iraq, infantryman Justin Miller almost committed suicide. With Objective Zero, he's hoping to help other traumatized veterans.

Justin Miller's 4-year-old daughter, Lydia, fell from a tree one summer afternoon in Georgia. But as she lay on the ground crying, something about the angle of her outstretched arm sent him somewhere else: An encampment in a stretch of desert in northern Iraq, between Fallujah and Ramadi.
There, nine years earlier, Miller had watched helplessly as two children bled to dearth at his feet.
"A boy was laying there in pieces," Miller would later recall. "Shrapnel had hit him in the head, and he wasn't moving. And then I noticed there was a crawling trail of blood marks, and I looked, and a girl was crawling toward my direction, reaching for me."
After a time, "she lost energy to the point where she couldn't even lift her head anymore." Miller remembered. "She was just reaching. And I had to look away, because there was nothing I could do." The very same girl had, just a few days earlier, warned Miller and his platoon that there was an improvised explosive device, or IED, on the road in front of them. She'd saved his life. He, in return, watched her die.
For years after returning home from war, Miller saw that gravely wounded little girl whenever his daughter would scream, or reach for him, or squeal in excitement. (His children have long since learned to use their indoor voices.) The day his daughter fell, it took hours for him to return from his flashback, though he felt like he'd just blinked his eyes. So he asked his wife if Lydia was OK.
"Justin," his wife whispered. "That was hours ago."
Inner demons.
Private First Class Justin Miller served in the U.S. army for 11 years, including two deployments to Iraq, before being forced to retire in the summer of 2014. Like many veterans, Miller sustained physical problems that sent him home from active duty. He suffered a traumatic brain injury while overseas, which in his case induced memory loss and severe attention deficit disorder. He also injured his back after being slammed to the ground after an IED detonated.
Yet Miller's worst wound, as with many of his fellow veterans, is less visible: The emotional trauma of having seen the worst of what humanity can do. The specter of the Iraqi girl and all that he saw, and did, as an infantryman in Iraq continues to haunt him.
He's one of tens of thousands of U.S. armed service veterans to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder--PTSD--which leads around 8,000 vets to commit suicide each year, according to the most recent data from the Department of Veteran Affairs. That's 22 veterans taking their lives each day.
Miller was very nearly a statistic himself. One night, tormented by a vivid dream in which he saw himself beheaded, he reached for the gun in his bedside table, set on ending it all.
He didn't. But not for any noble reason, he now admits.
"I didn't think about the ripple effect," Miller remembers. "I didn't think about how [killing myself] is going to ruin my family's life. The only thought that stopped me was there wasn't a round in the chamber."
Miller called his friend Chris Mercado, a former colleague and infantry officer in the army. They talked for six hours, and Mercado was able to talk his friend down.
Now, the two are determined to prevent what almost happened to Miller from happening to others. They've co-founded an organization, Objective Zero, which is based around an app, that aims to reduce the number of veteran suicides by connecting those who are suffering--in their darkest moments--to someone who can empathize and help.
"We need something that's instant," says Miller, who knows how powerful the drive to self-harm can be. "Our app allows veterans to have an immediate and anonymous connection with another veteran."
Although resources exist for veterans who suffer from suicidal thoughts and PTSD--including through the Department of Veteran Affairs--it can be difficult to access them. When Miller called the VA the morning after he almost committed suicide, and told them in no uncertain terms how close he was to the brink, he was told he could see a therapist--in a few days.
With Objective Zero, however, a veteran in need can simply scroll through a network of hundreds of army veterans who have each been rigorously trained in suicide prevention. There's also an option to filter the results: if you're an infantryman who served in Afghanistan and are seeking someone like-minded, you could employ the search terms woman, veteran, Kabul and infantry, and immediately be connected with someone who fits that profile.
Mercado insists Objective Zero shouldn't be considered a suicide hotline, per se, but, as he puts it, more of a warm line. The idea is to support veterans who struggle with suicidal thoughts, but haven't gone so far as to make concrete plans. "It's not a crisis or prevention tool," he says. "But you don't need to be an expert to listen. You don't need to be an expert to be present, and concerned, and empathetic. These are traits we're all born with."
Ultimately, the two envision broader uses for the app, such as licensing it to help suicidal teenagers or to connect healthcare providers with patients. For now, the 15-person non-profit is still in its infancy. Apple and Android versions of the app will debut this month and at launch, users will be able to connect with its network of more than 250 specialists--for free. Objective Zero, which raised $38,000 via a successful Kickstarter campaign last fall, is working to ink a series of corporate sponsorship deals to help it expand. Miller also hopes to raise some funds for the business through a patented iPhone case he's developing with OtterBox, a Fort Collins, Colorado-based consumer electronics firm.
"I didn't trust anybody."
Despite his struggles, Miller is lucky. More than 50 of his brothers and sisters in combat have died, either in the Middle East or by their own hand after they came home. In other respects, he's been through much of the worst of what a veteran can endure.
Back in 2004, days after watching the two children die, Miller's patrol had been sent to investigate a blast site. Miller went into a nearby house to recover a camera, and to take pictures of the property. His ears were ringing from the sound of an earlier explosion and he didn't hear that his platoon had accidentally left him behind. When he turned around to leave the house, there were no trucks in sight--but dozens of angry Iraqis. He began sprinting in the direction that the trucks had been pointing, hoping against hope that it wasn't too late.
"I put my back to the wall, weapon on semi, and as I tried to push down they were coming towards me," says Miller. "And I remember jamming my weapon into their chests. I came to an alley where I turned and started sprinting." Miraculously, Miller caught up to the Humvee--and only then did the assailants stop chasing him.
"After that, I didn't trust anybody," Miller remembers. "I didn't think that I could. The people I thought I could trust my life with forgot about me."
Miller admits he continues to struggle with PTSD and still experiences suicidal thoughts. He continues to suffer from memory loss and attention deficits. There are still moments when he looks at his daughter Lydia, who's now 8, and she becomes that dying Iraqi girl. He's not certain the organization he's building will succeed.
Launching Objective Zero remains a challenge. None of Miller's 15 employees has been compensated yet; most have other full-time jobs. Even if Objective Zero takes off like he hopes, Miller estimates merely maintaining the app will cost $20,000 each month. He and Mercado characterize the need for funding as "dire," even as some major companies--including Delta Airlines--have already committed to support the business. (Miller's story just appeared in the carrier's in-flight magazine, which could drive more donors to the app and website.)
Nevertheless, the veteran soldiers on. "I'm asking the nation to help stand up," he says. "Answer the phone. Be willing to listen. Hear out our story."
He pauses. It could do what he couldn't that day near Ramadi, for a broken boy and a little girl. "That five, 10, 15-minute phone call could save somebody's life."

The Real Reason The Hells Angels Usually Ride Harley-Davidsons
By Jean Mendoza/Aug. 6, 2021 11:35 am EST
Harley-Davidson motorcycles have long been associated with motorcycle gangs — particularly the Hells Angels. The group was formed on March 17, 1948, in Fontana, California, and is now considered one of the most popular biker gangs in the world. When Hells Angels was first established after the war, motorcycle parts were abundant and sold at an affordable price, allowing motorcycle club members to build their own vehicles. Per Time, most of the initial members of Hells Angels were war veterans who didn't have anything to do and wanted a sense of adventure.
There are a few rules that Hells Angels members have to follow. According to One Percent Bikers, one of the requirements of being part of the gang is owning a Harley-Davidson. There may be rare exceptions to the rule, but generally, members are encouraged to use this brand. Buell, which is also owned by Harley-Davidson, is also an acceptable motorcycle. Per Hot Cars, members are also expected to have a Harley-Davidson that's at least 1,000 ccs, although the model is entirely up to the member's budget.
Why they choose Harley-Davidson

The first members of the Hells Angels were former military personnel who fought in the war, and they were extremely patriotic. For that reason, they were strongly supportive of American-made products. Unlike today, Harley-Davidson motorcycles were cheap in the post-war years. Considering they were also made in America, it was the obvious best choice for the Hells Angels (via Hot Cars). And because the Hells Angels — and other motorcycle gangs — use Harleys as their ride of choice, the relationship between the company and group has grown over the years.
Hells Angels members are loyal to Harley-Davidson to this day. In fact, when Harley-Davidson moved their production overseas because of former President Donald Trump's trade policies, the group's members still backed the motorcycle company. A former member of the Hells Angels, Lorne Campbell, told Toronto Star: "I've been riding them all of my life, even when they were s**t bikes in the '60s and '70s. Harley riders are loyal — even when they leaked oil."
