Les Mamelles de Tirésias
April 9, 2018 - Opera, Performance
Lyric Opera of Melbourne have opened their 2018 season at Chapel Off Chapel with Francis Poulenc's wacky comedy Les Mamelles de Tirésias (The Breasts of Tirésias).
In what must be the craziest opera to ever take to the stage, the heroine explodes gender norms, biological constraints and even her own breasts! Composed in the 1940s and later arranged for cabaret performance by composer Benjamin Britten, Mamelles will be re-imagined in the 'greed is good' era of the early 1980s.
The one act, one-hour show opens as the dissatisfied and ambitious Therese frees herself of her breasts – which float away as two balloons – before departing to take over the world. Her emasculated husband is then forced to take over the childbirth, notching up a remarkable 40,000 babies in just one day!
Cathy Hunt makes her opera debut after taking part in Lyric's 2017 Opera Director's Workshop and brings to the company a wealth of experience from Melbourne's thriving independent theatre scene. "In Mamelles the surreal springs from the everyday. The inherent humour of the opera is truly liberating," she said.
"Lyric has given me the unique opportunity to seize this piece and creatively shake it up to reveal how it speaks to us right now. Poulenc's music for Mamelles is a cocktail of opera, cabaret and burlesque, with the unusual accompaniment of two pianos. It will be sung in English under the music direction of Simon Bruckard, who describes the music as "just so much fun to play, to sing and of course, to listen to."
The cast is led by rising star Kate Macfarlane as Therese with Sun Aria finalist Raphael Wong as her embattled but prodigiously fertile husband. The ensemble features several exciting young singers making their company debut as part of Lyric's commitment to nurturing the next generation of opera stars. The design team includes the award-winning Lucy Wilkins (costume) and Bryn Cullen (lighting) with the company debut of Robert Alexander Smith (set).

Is it possible to import data model (entities and attributes) from external source to Bizagi?
Hi! We're implementing Bizagi in our company for the first time, and we have a couple of question about working with external source data tables that have a considerable amount of rows.
We need this external data to be shown and selectable. We've been told that we necessarily need to replicate that data in the Bizagi database (Even if we use web service to fetch the data), is that the only way?
Because this data should be in a parametric entity, the Bizagi documentation says that we need to replicate, because Virtualization is just for master entities.
What we are looking for is the possibility to not store the external source data again in the Bizagi Database. This is only for the parametric entities that have a lot of rows.
You are correct that Replication is for parameter entities and virtualization is for Master Entities. If you want to use replication, you need to use a scheduler in order to set the time when you entity will be updated (Every day, Every week, Every Month, and so on). There is another way to replicate data. It is implementing a method called saveEntity or saveEntityAsString of web services.
Thanks for your answer, but I have one question left.
Concretely, for what I understand, all these solution make me having to have the same data replicated (in the original source and in Bizagi) There's no way for me to just ask for the data in the external source without having to copy them from the source to the Bizagi Model?


M and I met a childhood friend and her husband for dinner tonight. They live on the east coast but were in Tahoe for a long weekend of skiing, since we finally have some snow. We drove over to meet them, taking the long way around and stopped to goof around in one of M's favorite places to train.
We walked around on the snowpack and climbed up a bit on the trail. Today I was truly appreciating my gym commitment, particularly the various squat and lunge type exercises. The climbing up and down the snow covered pathways was not the hugely strenuous, painful effort I recall from the last time we did this, and there was also no slipping and no falling down for me, which is a first for me and snow of any sort. It was a fun drive and a nice afternoon to wander around on the cold and fluffy, icy white stuff.
I laugh, shake my head, change the subject, and did thoroughly enjoy my dinner even when the conversation was tense. While she agrees I'm looking very healthy and robust (is that a slam that I'm still not bone skinny?), she fussed a little about my trainer and the training program, expressing concern and asking if a young man is a good fit for an aging woman? M actually spoke up before I had a chance, saying that the programs I have been pursuing are very thorough and very balanced, and that he is very proud of how far I have come in the months I've been working at it. But most important to both of us, my trainer seems to "get me" well enough to keep me engaged and practicing consistently. Which opened up the whole overtraining conversation. I did not get snarky or defensive or angry with her, merely reminded her I am a grown woman who is more than capable of utilizing sound judgment on who I take advice from and allow to teach me new skills.
This pal is the poster child of where diet neurosis could lead me if I let it. It's everything I fear about calorie counting, dieting, weighing and measuring portions, and allowing the scale and measurements into my life as a measure of success or, more likely, an indictment of failure. She is an extreme case, but she was not always like this. Growing up together we ate a lot of junk food and sugar and crap. I married and had a family, divorced, found M. She married a nightmare, divorced, and then became determined to trade up in her second marriage. Her husband is actually a nice guy who does not push her to stay looking a certain way, but he also stays out of her way when it comes to taking care of her body and such. I worry about her, but I also understand the limitations of my influence.
So while it was a really fun day, dinner grew kind of tense there and I am sad about that. I have thought more than once in the last year that we seem to be growing further and further apart, and things she said tonight made me feel that all over again. Mostly I am amused at her concerns, because I absolutely believe I am doing the right things, taking the right steps for me and my health. But when you're trading poor habits for better ones and working hard to be a better, healthier person in all facts of your life, the last thing you want to hear is questions about whether or not you really are improving at a right pace and pursuing the right sort of goals. I do not expect anyone to support me 100% in every decision and choice I make, but I also don't know that I need to be undermined so directly.
I am just mulling it over here on the blog. And what I am contemplating and writing about is nothing we have not discussed in text, email, phone of face-to-face conversations many times through the years, so don't think I am talking smack about her behind her back. She knows how I feel and where I stand.
I think neither of us are sure how to bridge the gap between us, yet we are also not ready to retire such a long-term friendship.
But these are thoughts for another day. It's getting late and I have Sunday morning gym practice on my schedule. I stopped myself from looking up general calories on a dinner salad, half a piece of steak and some steamed broccoli. My 5 days of food tracking starts Monday and I will force myself to not obsess about it before, during, or after it is concluded.
Hope the rest of you are all enjoying a fabulous weekend.
Makes me wonder if she isn't a little jealous. After all you have changed so much and some "friends" don't like that at all. I think you should remember this day and all the fun you and M had since that is more important than anything. Remember that feeling happy and feeling loved is just as important as every other health change you are making. J is a wonderful instructor and cares deeply about your health. The food nazi well I'm not crazy about since I think your doing great on your own but you are an adult and will make your choices. But even just working with J and changing your food choices on your own you have changed your whole lifestyle.
Was your friends plate loaded with jelly?
The fact that you go to the gym every morning is proof that you are dedicated to your cause.
Not many women could or would do that.
pictures, this has to pay off for you and you say it has already. Slow and steady wins here.
If this comment seems wacky it's due to my lack of sleep.
Monica, you're fine. The mind is a terrible playground sometimes, and mostly I feel a lot of sympathy for my friend and her own demons and daily battles with food and self-image. I always have felt a little sorry for her, yet at the same time she has inadvertently given me the message that I am undisciplined and lack drive to control my own eating and by extension, weight. My coming to terms with my own stuff is more than likely what is breeding the conflict right now. This too shall pass.
undisciplined and lack drive? You? you are so not that! I couldn't get up and get to the gym like you do. You are doing amazing. Obviously you are totally on the right track with your eating, as evident by the fact that you no longer need meds to control your diabetes. And your picture of you and M looks great!
Thanks, OneFamily! It's my favorite recent picture of us because it's so us. At this point we'd been out and about in the snow for about 90 minutes, just walking and talking and stopping to talk to others, and I was a 6 foot drop back to the pavement and a 20 foot walk to the car without slipping or falling. When you're as clumsy as I am normally and then add snow, a no slip, no fall day is a truly amazing event!
Yes, your several friends recent reactions and comments to you have me baffled as well! I just don't get it.
Me either! Fortunately I have hordes of other friends who quiz me on my progress – what I'm doing, how my numbers are, what I am liking/hating most in the exercise realm, how that whole eating better is progressing – and cheer my progress and remind me of their own struggles. The weird responses are so shocking to my system I have a hard time believing what is really happening, hence the blogging and trying to sort it out.
First – congrats on the walk in the snow. Isn't it an amazing feeling to be comfortable with the physical activity? 🙂 Yes your friend is projecting her issues onto you – something I am unfortunately familiar with. With her and your other unsupportive friends – you are upsetting the apple cart by moving out of your assigned role – a role you have no say in and didn't realize you filled! And it isn't just the changes they see – but the mental changes you have clearly made to be accomplishing this. I'm glad you have talked with her about it but it is sad that hasn't resulted in some changes – there is a lot of room between being a cheerleader and detractor – hopefully she can find a more neutral place. And awesome picture of you two!
It's funny, but in the drive over to Tahoe I was mentally preparing myself for the get together and what was likely to be said, etc. I was buoyed by our discussions about it and what you have experienced and was mentally prepping to NOT be snarky or defensive. M actually surprised me a little by taking such a strong stand with her about the overtraining business – I think he's tired of hearing me whine about it. *laugh* We have been friends a very long time and live on different coasts and if this does not smooth over at least we only see one another a few times per year.

In this Feb. 21, 2013, file photo, Harvey Weinstein attends The Weinstein Company and Lexus Present Lexus Short Films at the Directors Guild of America Theater in Los Angeles.
The Weinstein Co.'s board of directors says the company is expected to file for bankruptcy protection after last-ditch talks to sell its assets collapsed.
Now-disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein co-founded the company in 2005. He was fired last October after being accused of sexual assault and harassment by dozens of women. Weinstein Co. has been searching for a financial savior ever since. Weinstein has denied all allegations.
The Los Angeles Times reports the board said Sunday night it has no choice but to pursue bankruptcy.
The decision came after the board was unable to revive a deal to sell the struggling studio for about $500 million to an investor group.
The Weinstein Ripple Effect
Harvey Weinstein's ouster from the Weinstein Company in light of multiple sexual misconduct allegations against him is causing thousands of other women to speak up and speak out against powerful abusers in the workplace.
(Published Monday, Dec. 11, 2017)
As part of the pact, the bidders had promised to raise at least $40 million for a fund to compensate Weinstein's accusers.

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA): What Is It?
By 2025, more than one million people in the UK will have dementia, according to the Alzheimer's Society. With this statistic in mind, it's a good idea to prepare for the unknown. While we can't predict the future, we can legally prepare for the trials life can bring; safeguarding your health, assets and finances with a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a wise step at any age.
A LPA is a legal document that works to ease the potential burden that can land on your relatives or loved ones if something were to happen to you. It can also make your life easier, providing you with financial and property help if you don't want to handle your affairs yourself.
An LPA allows you to entrust another to act on your behalf. The person creating the LPA is called the donor and the person appointed on the donor's behalf is the attorney. A LPA ends when a person dies, after which a will comes into effect.
What is the purpose of a health and welfare LPA?
A health and welfare LPA is a document where an individual permits a trusted representative to look after their health and welfare, should they be unable to or not want to do so themselves. Decisions the attorney can make include where you live or what medical treatment you get. This type of LPA can only be used when the person lacks mental capacity to carry out their own affairs or look after themselves.
You can only set up your own LPA if you have the mental capacity to do so. That's why now is always the right time. "Lacking mental capacity" is a situation wherein an individual may have suffered a stroke or accident or developed dementia. They'd lack mental capacity if they were unable to make their own decisions.
What is an LPA for property and financial affairs?
When should I make an LPA?
A great time to make an LPA is when you purchase your first home or when you have children. An LPA can ensure loved ones are taken care of, in case you lose the capacity to look after them yourself. If you were to lose capacity from illness or pass away without an LPA, processes could become complex for your loved ones. They'd need to apply for deputyship in order to access assets or finances. This is an expensive process made through court and can be avoided with an LPA.
How do I go about making an LPA?
Contact a solicitor, such as our specialist team at Beaumont Legal, to help you create an LPA. Beaumont Legal can assist with forms and register you with the Office of the Public Guardian, so your LPA can come into effect.
Prepare for the unknown by making an LPA now. Our specialist Wills & Probate team can help you today.

The Converged Lifestyle
The Changing Face of Commerce - Issue 1, June 2012
While convergence is not new, the way consumers interact with technology is constantly changing, especially in China. Today's technology and the plethora of devices it enables are allowing consumers to get what they want, when they want it. As Chinese consumers rush to these new gadgets, businesses are facing significant challenges adapting - those that are too slow risk losing their market share. Evidence points to a greater integration of devices within the consumer lifestyle and a rapid evolution of business models for those that enable them. Likewise, regulators will also need to evolve to meet the changing demands of consumers to ensure the rules promote privacy while still providing the flexibility for companies to innovate.

The fundamental functions of a university are to acquire, to conserve and to disseminate the knowledge for the general betterment. In this line, perhaps a responsibility that lies on the shoulder of a University is to provide technical services to the nation, the world engineering community and profession in important projects.
As a center of excellence, BUET is not only continuing as the focal point for the development and dissemination of engineering and technological know-how within the country, but also it is involved to solve complicated practical problems of national importance faced by the planners, engineers and technologists of the country. The university being the home of highly trained man power, expert services are given through this bureau, causing a fourfold enrichment – enrichment of the nation from the expert services, enrichment of the university, enrichment of the staff and enriched teaching and research from the knowledge acquired through The Bureau of Research, Testing and Consultation. BRTC, BUET undertakes research, testing and consultation works in the field of engineering, architecture and planning, and the constructurion industry at large as entrusted to them by private parties and by government and autonomous bodies.
Bangabandhu Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge
Problem identification using analytical and testing tools for Bangabandhu Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge
Worked as Consultant to provide technical services to Bangladesh Bridge Authority, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh during March 2006-June 2006. The causes of extensive cracking of the segmental pre-stressed concrete box girders of the Bangabandhu Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge were identified. The bridge has 48 spans, each having an approximate length of 100m. The segments of the bridge pre-stressed both in longitudinal and in transverse direction. In the analytical investigation, three-dimensional nonlinear model of the bridge was developed through extensive use of finite elements. The Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge, when constructed stood as the 11th longest bridge of the world and the longest in Bangladesh as of today. The role of this bridge in the economy of Bangladesh is vital as it provides strategic links for road, rail, electricity and gas transmission between northern and southern part of the country by crossing the Jamuna River, one of the widest rivers of the world. The hydraulic properties of the river and sediments are quite difficult to predict.
Repair and retrofitting of Bangabandhu Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge
As a member of the Expert Committee, now serving the Bangladesh Bridge Authority, Government of the Peoples' Republic of Bangladesh by giving technical advices on design and implementation of the repair and retrofitting methodology for the bridge deck and replacement of expansion joints. In this process, analytical results for the box girders of the bridge are vital for assessing the as-built present capacity at critical load combinations and thereby calculating the strengthening requirements. The measures undertaken for repair and strengthening of the deck included extensive use of fibre reinforced polymer strips, thermal insulation and stone mastic asphalt wearing course in the form of laminated composites.
Health Monitoring of Bangabandhu Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge
Working as the Team Leader to monitor the post-repair health condition of the bridge using vibration sensors. Temperature and Humidity Data logging on the top and beneath the deck surfaces are also being done.
Top Supervision Services
Dr. Saiful Amin is providing Top Supervision Services to the Bangladesh Bridge Authority for the ongoing Repair and Strengthening of the Bangabandhu Jamuna Bridge. The Bridge Deck is now being repaired and retrofitted with FRP and the Expansion Joints are getting replaced.
Repair of the Bearings, Joints of the Meghna & the Meghna-Gumuti Bridges and stabilizing the foundation from river bed scour
Bridge superstructures are usually designed to accommodate thermal strains due to ambient temperature gradients and deformations due to live loads all extreme possible combinations. Bridge bearings have to transfer forces from the superstructure to the substructure whereas expansion joints allow all movements in the designed directions. Expansion joints should provide a smooth transition at the deck level for vehicle movement, avoid noise/vibration emission as far as possible and withstand all mechanical actions and chemical attacks (de-icing salts, if any) for the designed durability. The design should have the provision for simple replacement of all wearing parts and the entire expansion joints. Dr. Amin extensively studied the subject and conducted extensive research in UG and PG levels to develop local expertise for quality control and quality assurance of rubber bearings and expansion joints. Maintenance, durability, life cycle analysis, replacement techniques of joints and bearings are also the points interests to address.
In this context, Dr. Amin acted as Team Leader of the BRTC, BUET Team to provide technical services to the Roads and Highways Department, Government of the Peoples' Republic of Bangladesh for the maintenance and remedial measures of the Meghna and the Meghna-Gumuti Bridges on National Highway N1. These bridges are PC box girder bridges having central hinge and expansion joints to reach 87m span. The expansion joints placed at the hinge locations need to accommodate longitudinal movements occurring not only due to creep, shrinkage and temperature effects but also the longitudinal sways induced by the rotation of piers. Ageing of the bridge can induce reduction of pier stiffness due to fatigue (governed by past loading history) whereas plastic deformations occurred due to creep need also to be accounted. Assessment of expansion demand in an old bridge of this type is critically encountered in maintenance and rehabilitation works. Dr. Saiful Amin having specialization in structural mechanics, constitutive modelling with finite strain theories, experimental observation of constitutive behaviour and finite element implementation of constitutive models gave his expert input in this project as the Team Leader to make emergency repair and final replacement of the joints and bearings of these two bridges. Calculation of expansion-contraction demands and verification was vital. In this course, efforts were made to arrive at a realistic FE model of the bridge including the hinges to adequately take the nonlinear load dependent behavior of the pot bearings into account. Simulations are conducted on different functionality levels of the hinges under standard and overloading situations. Utilization of vibration monitoring data and implementation of eigensystem realization algorithm were important for dynamic characterization of this range of bridges. In the Meghna Bridge, the current displacements were found to be coupled with river bed scour problem. This fixing the pier foundations and protecting the same from scour was the other dimension of this work.
QA & QC of Rubberlike Materials
Dr. Saiful Amin is entrusted for testing rubber and rubberlike materials in the Department of Civil Engineering, BUET via BRTC, BUET. To deliver the service, he is equipping the Structural Mechanics Laboratory of the department to prepare the samples and to test the soft polymeric materials in including rubber for QA & QC purposes following standard procedures. These test reports are vital for QA & QC of bridge bearings for flyovers and bridges in the country.
Investigation of the Collapse of Bohodderhat Flyover during Construction
Appointed by the Government of the Peoples' Republic of Bangladesh, Dr. Saiful Amin worked as the Member Secretary of the National Committee to assess the quality of construction of the ill-fated 1.33 km long Bohodderhat flyover, Chittagong where three girders collapsed during construction causing severe injury to life and property and assist the concerned ministry in taking decisions. In this context, the committee looked into details of the quality of construction materials used, quality of the finished construction elements, quality of equipment and arrangement used for construction, quality of construction methodology and sequence adopted and also the quality of safety practice exercised during construction to derive the conclusions about the incident and propose the next steps to be taken by the Government.
Assessment of Construction Defects of PC Bridges
Engaged by the Roads and Highways Department, Government of the Peoples' Republic of Bangladesh, Dr. Saiful Amin worked as the Team Leader to check the structural adequacy of a 43m PC girder in 348.12m long PC girder bridge over the Shangkha River at the 8th km of Fultoli-Kanchana-Khoderhat Road under Dohazari Road Division, Chittagong. The Girder 2C of the 2nd Span of the bridge reportedly got laterally deflected about 10 days after application of prestress and subsequent grouting. The BRTC, BUET had to check the structural adequacy of the curved girder (2C) for the design loads. Total Station Survey of the girders in question was used to ascertain the sectional capacities. On site measurement of natural frequency of the girders to make a comparison of the order of stiffness between the acceptable girders and the girder with geometric deformations. A critical comparison between the theoretical and field measurement values was made.
Further services were given also for the bridges over the Mahananda and the Meghna (in Narshingdi) for similar problems.
Checking the Design of Long Span Steel Truss Bridges
Appointed by the Roads and Highways Department, Government of the Peoples' Republic of Bangladesh, Dr. Saiful Amin acted as Team Leader to check the structural adequacy and erection methodology of a 100m span steel bridge over the Modhumoti River and a 115m span steel bridge over the Surma River.
Pedestrian Bridge over the Crescent Lake, National Parliament Building of Bangladesh
Checking the structural design adequacy of a suspended-span arch-supported pedestrian bridge constructed over the Crescent Lake near the National Parliament Building in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The bridge facilitates the movement of pedestrians to the nearby mausoleum of Shaheed Ziaur Rahman, former president of Bangladesh and adjacent Chandrima Garden. The bridge having a suspended span of 56.1m allows the movement of pedestrians over a steel framed tempered glass deck. In addition to the static analysis, the fundamental vibration modes of the arch-deck system was to be examined through dynamic analysis to restrict the pedestrian-induced vibration within acceptable limit in accordance with the recent version of British Code (BS 5400, amended vide BD 37/01 on August 2001). The revision of the British Code took place in 2001 following the observation of serviceability problem due to pedestrian movement induced vibration in the Millennium Bridge, London, UK and Toda Bridge in Tokyo, Japan. The bridge was first of its kind constructed in Bangladesh.

Structural Safety Assessment of Industrial Buildings
At this moment, Dr. Saiful Amin is associated with leading a Team to assess the safety of industrial buildings including the garments factories of Bangladesh after the Rana Plaza collapse incident. Extensive use of NDT Techniques and application of fundamental knowledge of Mechanics are key in the techniques employed for visual inspection.
Rejuvenation of Dilapidated Structures
Old structures be it a cultural heritage or a space for day to day use can deteriorate over time due to climatic condition, poor maintenance or construction of inadequate quality. Strengthening of such structures is important from different viewpoints e.g. protecting the culture, improving the safety conditions or to maintain the business facilities. To this end, it is important to choose a technology that is locally available, floor space reduction is minimum, durable and have an overall economic benefit. In BUET, we have mastered application of different technologies including the use of ferrocement technology, jacketing with additional reinforcement and also started the use of FRP composites and laminates.

Implementation of NDT Techniques
Rebar location, layout, depth and clear cover determination
Though reinforced or prestressed concrete is very common in Bangladesh, there are cases when the Engineer needs to know the as-built information about the rebars. It is specially necessary to avoid risky rebar/ prestressing tendon hits during core cutting operation, assessing the safety of an existing structure or permitting for vertical or lateral extension, renovation works and in general the cases where reliable as-built drawings are not available. To this end, the Ferroscan PS 200 machine has been calibrated for local scenario and now being used extensively for different projects of BUET.
NDT for estimating the compressive strength
To determine the in-situ compressive strength of concretes, rebound hammers (Schmidt hammer) and Windsor pins (Resistance to Penetration Tests) are commonly used. However, the correlations between the rebound number, penetration value and the compressive strength depend strongly on the test condition and aggregate characteristics. To this end, we have developed the correlations in Bangladesh context so that the reliability in strength prediction can be enhanced.
Telecommunication Towers
Lattice Towers
Telecommunication sector is one of the fastest developing sector of Bangladesh, now linking no less than 50 million active subscribers wireless. In a flat riverine country like Bangladesh, the mobile telecommunication operators have chosen steel-lattice towers as a plausible option to mount antennas for the backbone network. The economy in lattice design is vital for mass production of the towers. In this backdrop, a number of designs for green field towers up to 90m in height and roof top towers up to 20m in height were either generated/checked for ensuring the capacity to sustain up to 200-260 kph wind speed (fastest mile).
Hybrid Tower
Checked and analyzed the design of Lattice-Tubular Hybrid Pole. The product was targeted to meet the following constraints e.g. reach a minimum height of 42 meters, sustain an average load of 6 nos GSM, 2 nos 1.2m MW and 2 nos 0.6m MW antennas, reduce BTS Site building time, reduce BTS Site building cost and reduce the land requirement. The Lattice-Tubular Hybrid Pole is a combination of a monopole and a lattice tower. A lattice tower of pre-defined height is placed on a monopole of the desired height. The tower is connected on top of the monopole by means of a flange plate.
Precast Piles
Telecommunication sector is one of the fastest developing sector of Bangladesh, now linking no less than 50 million active subscribers. In a flat riverine country like Bangladesh, the mobile telecommunication operators have chosen steel-lattice towers as a plausible option to mount antennas for the backbone network. The foundation for such lattice structures are usually rested on tension piles. To this end, use of spun-prestressed predrilled nonspliced concrete piles up to 12m in length is a viable option in most of teh soil conditions of Bangladesh. The conventional spun-prestressed concrete pole factories can be modified for manufacturing of these piles. These factory manufactured piles give the possibility of faster construction with assured quality.
We checked the design and tested the Uplift capacities of spun-prestressed predrilled nonspliced precast hollow piles for use in founding antenna support structures. The piles have been successfully used in supporting telecommunication towers up to 90m in height at different locations of Bangladesh.

Construction of Telecommunication Backbone for Bangladesh Police
Construction supervision of foundation work, CNC fabrication and erection of steel lattice of nine telecommunication towers (3 nos. 90m, 5 nos. 75m, 1 nos. 20 m) for Bangladesh Police Dhaka-Chittagong Radio Link and Dhaka Metropolitan Police Command and Control Center as a part of constructing nation-wide telecommunication backbone for Bangladesh Police was assigned to us. The 90m tower for Dhaka Metropolitan Police Command and Control Center is dedicated to bring the Dhaka Metropolitan City under CCTV streaming and posting online signs at the streets of Dhaka City. All the towers were founded either on locally manufactured pre-cast or cast-in-situ piles. Tower members were locally manufactured using CNC machine. The towers were designed for 210-260 kph wind speed (fastest mile).
Construction of Long-span Doubly Curved Arches for a Pedestrian Bridge
We supervised the construction of two doubly curved variable depth reinforced concrete arches of a pedestrian bridge each having a span of 71.3m and fabrication of the deck system as well. The pedestrian bridge was Constructed over the Crescent Lake near the National Parliament Building in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The bridge facilitates the movement of pedestrians to the nearby mausoleum of Shaheed Ziaur Rahman, former president of Bangladesh and the adjacent Chandrima Garden. The bridge having a suspended span of 56.1m allows the movement of pedestrians over a steel framed tempered glass deck, the first of its kind constructed in Bangladesh. The construction process for the arches included the use of pumped fair faced concrete. Steel shutters for the doubly curved arches were produced by using CAD generated shop drawings. The bridge was opened for public in 2004.

Q: php array from XML I have this array, that a got from a webservice so the array what I get is a XML with data.
I want to print each register I dont know how to do it. I tried many ways to print it and I can not.

to print that I use ....

A: A little vague, but try:
foreach($array['Record'] as $object) {
    foreach($object->Field as $value) {
        echo $value;
    }
}

A: To convert XML to an array, assuming the original array is inside $xml_original, do this:
$xml_array = unserialize(serialize(json_decode(json_encode((array) $xml_original), 1)));

All objects should be converted into arrays at this point.

A: Array's are accessed using $array['key'] and stdClass's are accessed using $object->key, so according to your print_r output, you'd have to access it using:
echo 'licsa = ' . $array['Record'][0]->Field[0];

etc.
You can also loop through it:
foreach ($array['Record'] as $record) {
    echo 'licsa = ' . $record->Field[0];
}

No sooner does Oldies Connection post a blog about the new single by former EMI producer Mark Wirtz than Sir Paul McCartney cites the Wirtz classic "Teenage Opera" as a major influence on his songwriting!
In an interview conducted by Paul Draper from the band Mansun and posted on Drowned in Sound, Sir Paul discusses songwriting in general and his 1971 album RAM (which has just been re-released as a special edition 2-CD digipak) in particular. During the interview, when asked about influences, Sir Paul responds that "A Teenage Opera" by Keith West was the record that helped him to realize that songs could be "cut like a film," with key and tempo changes.
The entire "Teenage Opera" concept was the brainchild of Mark Wirtz, who literally dreamed up the story of Grocer Jack (the first character in what would turn out to be a TO trilogy) one night and subsequently mentioned it to Geoff Emerick, the engineer Wirtz shared with The Beatles. Keith West from the band Tomorrow co-wrote the song "Excerpt From a Teenage Opera (Grocer Jack)" with Wirtz and recorded it at Abbey Road Studios in early 1967. The rather charming track, which features a children's chorus brought in by Wirtz, was released in May of that year. It peaked at #2 and paved the way for the "Teenage Opera" project, which was slated to become an actual rock opera (predating The Who's "Tommy" by two years). The second single, "Sam," which told the story of a steam-train engineer and also featured what had quickly become a Wirtz trademark—a children's chorus—was recorded by West and released that October. Unfortunately, although "Sam" made the Top Forty, it didn't rank as highly as its predecessor. After Keith West left the project, Wirtz recorded the third song, "(He's Our Dear Old) Weatherman" under his own name. EMI ultimately brought the curtain down on the "Teenage Opera," and it wouldn't be until 1996 when an approximation of "what might have been," featuring various Mark Wirtz tracks, was released on CD.
Despite the shelving of the project, the "Teenage Opera" concept and productions by Mark Wirtz influenced McCartney and other musicians in their own work, and continue to be fondly remembered by fans 45 years later.
Award-winning composer/producer Mark Wirtz has a hit in the making with his wonderful rendition of "I Need to Fall in Love." The romantic tune is the first single release from his most recent album, Lost Pets 2 (PoppyDisc Records), and was co-written by Wirtz with Bob Lind (of "Elusive Butterfly" fame) and Jim David (son of Brill Building songwriter Hal David). "I Need to Fall in Love" is being played on radio stations across the country and is currently in the Top Thirty according to the latest reports. For more on Mark Wirtz and Lost Pets 2, click here.

Why Netflix Inc. Stock Soared 35% in April
By Demitrios KalogeropoulosFool.com
What: Streaming video giant Netflix'sstock leaped 35% higher in April, according to S&P Capital IQ data.
NFLX data by YCharts.
So what: Investors cheered the company's midmonth release of first-quarter earnings results, which included much better than expected revenue and profit growth. But the best news involved subscriber additions: Netflix boosted its membership base by almost 5 million and ended the quarter at 60 million global users.
That improvement added to the company's already impressive growth trajectory. The first quarter's 4.9 million additions stack up well against the 4 million adds Netflix booked in the prior-year period.
The business model also demonstrated its power during the quarter. Contribution margin surged past 30% in the U.S., up from 25% a year earlier. Management still expects to hit a 40% margin in its most mature market in 2020. Meanwhile, the company spent less on marketing during the quarter, which suggests Netflix'sgrowing slate of exclusive content is making it easier to attract new subscribers and retain existing users.
Now what: Management's second-quarter forecast calls for more accelerating growth. Global subscriber additions are expected to hit 2.5 million, compared to 1.7 million a year ago. Netflix appears set to post another year-over-year improvement in net adds -- with 600,000 projected new domestic users this quarter, compared to 570,000 in second-quarter 2014 -- suggesting that saturation in the U.S. market continues to be pushed back.
The popularity of new and exclusive content will be key to Netflix achieving that growth. This quarter's release schedule is even more packed than last quarter's. Highlights include Marvel's Daredevil in April, comedy show Grace and Frankie in May, and action thriller Sense8 from the Wakowskis in June.

640 color + 90 b-w illus.
William Nicholson is among the most admired yet elusive painters in British art. Neither academic nor overtly modernist, his ravishing paintings are a singular achievement of the early twentieth century.
Nicholson made his name as a graphic artist in the 1890s before turning to painting full-time. Over the next four decades he explored the genres of portraiture, landscape and still life with exceptional inventiveness, wit and technical skill. Yet his aversion to art groups and his reluctance to make public pronouncements about art have made it difficult to place his work within the main narratives of twentieth-century art history.
The breadth of Nicholson's painting is revealed in this sumptuous book, the first fully illustrated catalogue raisonné of the oils. Many of Nicholson's pictures have not been recorded before and most are reproduced here for the first time. The catalogue, which represents more than twenty years of scholarship on the part of its author, Patricia Reed, includes detailed entries on all Nicholson's oil paintings and the most comprehensive chronology of his life to date. The art historian Wendy Baron gives a context for Nicholson in British art at the beginning of the twentieth century, and the painter and critic Merlin James celebrates the virtuosity of Nicholson's painting technique and the cerebral subtlety of this most individual of painters.
Winner of the Spears Magazine "Outstandingly Produced Book" Award 2012.
Patricia Reed is an independent art historian and the principal scholar on the oil paintings of William Nicholson.

If you've been reading my blog for very long you probably have determined that I'm a big fan of using LinkedIn for networking. It's a great professional networking site. One of the newer features that has generated some real interest is the Endorsements feature. In this article let's discuss what Endorsements are and what they are not.
I have benefitted my entire career from mentoring. I have also helped young men and women looking to get started in the career of Information Technology by mentoring them. When I have had the pleasure of that opportunity I like to explain that I believe that IT today is broken down into four categories.
I suppose that there are those that believe that they learned everything that they needed to know in life in high school or college. I tend to think that you make yourself a more well-rounded individual by continually updating your professional education by attending seminars, reading books and taking classes. One of my goals is to be a lifelong learner.
Throughout my article series I've shared the many benefits of using networking for a job search. Most jobs aren't found on job boards or the newspaper, but by meeting people. Today's message is about keeping in touch with your network contacts.
A few weeks ago I shared a story about how I narrowly missed out on a great job opportunity, coming up just short of a final round interviewing process, which included three finalists. That position went to another candidate, who ultimately didn't work out, yet I wasn't reconsidered. That was heartbreaking. Today I'm sharing a story in which I was once again a finalist for a position, but this time I was one of two candidates.
The advice that I give to job seekers today is to keep your interviewing to yourself. What I mean by that is not everybody needs to know your business. Well meaning friends and family will ask, "How are you doing?", meaning, "How is your job search going?" You might say that you have an interview coming up tomorrow and then they'll want to know who you are talking to. You don't need that pressure.
A little more than two months ago I wrote an article about whether or not you, as an IT person, identify yourself with being a specialist or being a generalist and pros and cons to those situations. Today I learned about a specialist friend of mine getting a new job. In addition, I've had two other friends that have ended their job hunt within the past two weeks. I'll share some of their stories, as well.
In the progression from second round interview, where you know you are among the finalists for the position that you have applied to, the ultimate conclusion from the interviewing process is that the employer will select you for the position and offer you the position! Don't accept or reject an offer on the spot. Always take some time overnight to consider everything that you are being offered. There are things you want to carefully consider. You'll never have this much bargaining power again.
Congratulations on getting invited back! The second round interview is your golden opportunity to win the job. To have made it this far in the interview process you have likely survived a phone screen and maybe an initial face-to-face meeting. For the employer to ask you back for a second time, you've obviously impressed them with your abilities, and now they just need you to validate that you are the best person for the job.
While, in general, I'd prefer to interview face-to-face, the phone screen interview does have its place during the initial selection process. Here is how to use the phone screen interview process to your advantage as the candidate.
You don't normally have to go looking for recruiters. They usually find you. Just place your resume at some of the most popular job boards and it's "open season" on recruiters seeking you out to fill their contract jobs. When you are unemployed, that can certainly be a good thing. I've found, however, that not all recruiters are created equally. Some are not worth your time and are just not a good match to help you.
When I lost my job at the end of November, I knew that it couldn't have come at a worse time. There were those that told me that there would be few opportunities through the end of the year, and as hard as I worked to try to prove them wrong, they weren't.

Tahoe vacation rentals under lockdown: Some hotels offer refunds, while Airbnb is still open
Dec. 11, 2020 Updated: Dec. 11, 2020 7:04 p.m.
Two homes in the Al Tahoe neighborhood on Sun. March 11, 2018, in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. The home on the left is a residential home while the one on the right is a rental, with the homes so close together in the neighborhood, calls from residents with noise complaints have come from around the neighborhood. The City of South Lake Tahoe has a strict Vacation Home Rental Ordinance (VHR) with fines of $1,000 for violations.

A lockdown order that took effect in Lake Tahoe Friday and extends through Jan. 1 has cast doubt over many families' holiday travel plans to California's premier winter destination and thrown the region's lodging industry into upheaval.
Hotels and property managers who had sold out guest rooms and ski cabins through December are now in the awkward position of canceling thousands of reservations during the busiest and most lucrative period of the year. Guests, meanwhile, are grappling with fine-print booking policies from Airbnb and rental agencies that may preclude them from claiming refunds on reservations made before lockdown took effect.
"This is happening at the worst possible time," said Patty Baird, owner of Cedar House Sport Hotel, a 40-room boutique hotel in Truckee.
Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced new statewide health restrictions, and by Wednesday afternoon, a stay-at-home order was enacted for the "Greater Sacramento" region, which includes the California side of Lake Tahoe, after space in intensive-care units there shrunk to less than 15% capacity. Most of California is now under the strict new order, from the southern border north to Sacramento and east to Nevada. Traveling purely for recreation or vacation to or from affected regions is strongly discouraged under the order, but the legal consequences for breaking the rule are unclear.
Across Tahoe, many hotels and property managers have interpreted the order to mean that they have to cancel reservations for the entire month of December and cannot process new bookings for nonessential travelers during this period. For the past two days, they have been calling guests with the bad news. In some cases, guests have balked, indicating that they won't yield to the cancellation or the state's stay-at-home order.
"Frankly, we are shocked by the number of people who want to continue with their vacation as planned," said Jim Winterberger, president and owner of Tahoe Getaways, which manages more than 200 properties in North Tahoe and the West Shore. He spent Thursday calling clients to tell them their holiday travel plans were kaput, referring them to the state order. "Some people have freaked out and said, 'I'm coming. You charged my credit card. Squaw is open.'"
Rental properties must be registered with the City of South Lake Tahoe and display occupancy totals on the exterior of the home. The City of South Lake Tahoe has a strict Vacation Home Rental Ordinance (VHR) with fines of $1,000 for violations.
Issuing mass cancellations is a huge financial sacrifice but necessary for public safety, Winterberger said. "This will have an absolutely devastating impact (on revenue). It's like pouring a couple million dollars into your parking lot and lighting it on fire."
The impact is sure to be felt broadly across the region, which depends on tourism as its primary economic driver. For example, hotel taxes account for 40% of South Lake Tahoe's income and are used to finance basic municipal services.
"It's tough for us," said Chris Fiore, communications manager for South Lake Tahoe. "If lodging is closed, that money doesn't come in."
Officials around Tahoe have been meeting with their respective cohorts since the order was announced to strategize around presenting a unified front on visitation procedures and expectations. But they face an uphill battle in trying to ward off tourists: Ski resorts are still open, and though many hotels are issuing refunds, online lodging marketplaces Airbnb and VRBO were still permitting bookings in the Tahoe region for December dates at press time.
Before lockdown, Elise Estanislau, of Santa Clara, had booked a four-day stay at a home in South Lake Tahoe through Airbnb for later this month. When the stay-at-home order came through, she went to cancel her booking, but the host initially refused to refund her the $900 cost and Airbnb customer service wasn't helpful, Estanislau said.
Shutdown Orders

Backlash to Newsom's lockdown order grows — rural communities refuse to comply
Airbnb leaves cancellation policies largely up to hosts, who can set loose or restrictive rules. The San Francisco vacation-rentals company, which raised billions of dollars in an initial public offering this week and is now worth more than $100 billion, waived some cancellation penalties at the onset of the pandemic. Those waivers expired, however, and it now only allows refunds beyond what hosts choose if the guest or host fall ill from COVID-19. Changes in plans due to health orders and travel advisories are expressly not covered by the policy.
The host's refusal put Estanislau's family in an uncomfortable position that has become familiar to many Bay Area residents enduring the pandemic: travel in defiance of lockdown or swallow a financial loss and suffer the disappointment of a much-needed vacation deferred.
"We don't feel like we should go. But at the same time, our kids are expecting a vacation," Estanislau said Thursday. "It's just a strange, hard decision."
On Friday morning, the property management company behind her booking, Turnkey Vacation Rentals, reversed course, clearing its December bookings in Tahoe and offering guests refunds and future credits. (Estanislau's family happily canceled their reservation.)
"We completely empathize with our guests not being able to travel during this time," Turnkey wrote in a statement to The Chronicle. Still, issuing refunds en masse can be hard on homeowners that use Turnkey who "rely on the income from these non-refundable payments for things like mortgage payments, utilities and more."
Representatives at Airbnb and VRBO declined to answer questions, referring information requests to their policy web pages. Many Tahoe officials and hoteliers expect that people will continue to book through those services and break lockdown.
The proliferation of short-term rentals has become a sore spot for communities across Tahoe since the launch of Airbnb and VRBO. Some had taken measures to manage and restrict them before the pandemic, citing the issues of noise, traffic and trash that come with high volumes of weekend visitors. But holding the companies to account has been all but impossible, officials say.
"As a town, we don't have control over those third-party hosts," said Bronwyn Roberts, Truckee's public information officer. "They're really hard to work with."
After a chaotic summer in which out-of-towners inundated Tahoe, Truckee, an epicenter of ski cabins, has fast-tracked a new ordinance that creates a registry of short-term rentals and operating procedures. Starting in January, officials will have authority to revoke registration for properties where guests don't follow state laws or lockdown orders.
"It's not something we want to necessarily use, but we need to have tools in our toolbox," Roberts said. "We want people to think about the spirit of these (stay-at-home) orders."
The three California counties touching the lake — El Dorado, Placer and Nevada — have ordinances in place allowing them to fine visitors, rental companies and Airbnb hosts who violate lockdown, though they have resisted aggressive enforcement even as complaints from neighbors piled up during the summer. A small number of tourists around the lake received citations of $500 and $1,000 for breaking shelter-in-place orders earlier this year.
Stinging individuals with hefty fines is not a mechanism officials feel comfortable relying on to keep people at bay. But Fiore said South Lake Tahoe lawmakers would almost certainly discuss the issue at a meeting next week.
After a raucous summer of tense encounters between Tahoe locals and tourists, Baird, at Cedar House, expects that determined visitors will sneak up to Tahoe this month regardless of the stay-at-home order.
"Based on what happened here in spring, I'm a little more pessimistic" about people following lockdown rules, she said. "Especially with pandemic fatigue, there are all types of reasons people will come, no matter what."
