Sensex soars over 400 pts; TCS falls 3 pc
Edited By Odishatv Bureau Published By PTI On Oct 11, 2019 - 10:33 AM
Mumbai: Equity benchmark BSE Sensex rallied over 400 points on Friday following positive cues from global markets on hopes of a trade deal between the US and China.
The 30-share index was trading 414.38 points, or 1.09 per cent, higher at 38,294.78 at 0940 hours. Similarly, the broader NSE Nifty jumped 116.15 points, or 1.03 per cent, to 11,350.70.
Top gainers in the Sensex pack during early session included Vedanta, Tata Steel, ONGC, SBI, Kotak Bank, Tata Motors, ICICI Bank, HDFC twins and Infosys, rising up to 4 per cent.
On the other hand, TCS was the top laggard shedding up to 3 per cent, after the largest software exporter on Thursday reported a tepid growth in net income for the September quarter at Rs 8,042 crore, and guided towards more challenges putting a big question mark over its ability to deliver the double-digit growth.
Tech Mahindra, Bharti Airtel, RIL and Sun Pharma were the other losers on the index, dropping up to 1 per cent.
In the previous session, the BSE barometer ended 297.55 points, or 0.78 per cent, lower at 37,880.40, and the Nifty fell 78.75 points, or 0.70 per cent, to close at 11,234.55.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the capital market, pulling out Rs 263.11 crore on Thursday, while domestic institutional investors bought shares worth Rs 502.67 crore, data available with stock exchange showed.
Market rallied in early session on Friday tracking gains in global markets after US President Donald Trump offered an positive assessment of US-China trade talks, traders said.
"We just completed a negotiation with China. We're doing very well. We're having another one tomorrow. I'm meeting with the Vice Premier over at the White House," Trump told reporters at the White House on Thursday.
Following the news, bourses in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo were trading significantly higher in early trade. Stocks on Wall Street too ended on a positive note on Thursday.
Domestic investors are also awaiting factory output data and Infosys earnings, scheduled to be released later in the day.
The rupee, meanwhile, appreciated 15 paise against its previous close to trade at 70.92 in early session.
Brent futures, the global oil benchmark, rose 0.42 per cent to USD 59.35 per barrel.

Q: where is function generate in Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1 would like to print a random number between 0 and 10, but generate seems undefined
can not be compiled, the following code edited from example
i am using Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1
Updated:
import System.IO
import System.Random
import Test.QuickCheck.Function
import Test.QuickCheck.Gen
import Test.QuickCheck

main :: IO()
main = putStrLn (show result)
  where result = unGen (choose (0, 10)) (mkStdGen 1) 1

The resulting error:
test6.hs:13:25:
    Ambiguous type variable `a0' in the constraints:
      (Random a0) arising from a use of `choose' at test6.hs:13:25-30
      (Show a0) arising from a use of `show' at test6.hs:12:18-21
      (Num a0) arising from the literal `10' at test6.hs:13:36-37
    Probable fix: add a type signature that fixes these type variable(s)
    In the first argument of `unGen', namely `(choose (0, 10))'
    In the expression: unGen (choose (0, 10)) (mkStdGen 1) 1
    In an equation for `result':
        result = unGen (choose (0, 10)) (mkStdGen 1) 1

A: Ok, first problem is that let makes a local binding, and you are using it in global scope, if you want the binding to be local to the main action, I would use where to do the binding. Looking at the QuickCheck docs it appears that the generate function no longer exists. unGen has the same type signature so I believe that has replaced it.
import System.Random
import Test.QuickCheck
import Test.QuickCheck.Gen

main :: IO ()
main = putStrLn (show result)
  where result = unGen (choose (0::Int, 10::Int)) (mkStdGen 1) 1

Contract killer Yassen Gregorovich is given orders to kill Alex. But Yassen knows a secret from the past that connects him to the fourteen-year-old spy. What is it that makes one of them choose to do evil, and what does it take to turn him into a killer?
Reviewed on 29th April 2018
The 'final' novel in the Alex Rider series (because it turns out that another book has now been published) is one I've been looking for for some time. It's an interesting twist on the series, which typically focuses on the titular teenager recruited into MI6 - instead this novel telling the surprisingly parallel story of his arch nemesis, a freelance assassin.
It's actually a really compelling story, and was a real surprise as I hadn't appreciated the difference from the rest of the series before starting reading. That said, it does make for a slightly disappointing finale, because it doesn't wrap up our main character's storyline, but instead fills in some of the gaps across the series as a whole.
Ultimately it's just another boy spy, and they've become fairly commonplace in literature, but the opposing viewpoint makes it an interesting approach that's worth reading if you are into the series.

We sneak a glimpse into some of the typical surety bond fraud and scams and how you can avoid getting conned by choosing a reputable surety bond provider.
Various types of scams and fraudulent activities have proliferated across different sectors and industries, and the surety bond industry is no different.
Surety bond fraud is not common; however, it tarnishes the reputation that the sector has earned over decades of delivering service and guaranteeing value to the construction industry.
A surety bond is a three-party contract in which the surety promises to answer for the default of an obligation by a contractor.
Principal: The party mainly responsible for fulfilling contractual agreements.
Obligee: The party protected by the surety bond.
Surety: The Bond Company that backs up financial guarantees for the Principal.
Bid bond ensures that if the contract is given to the principal, the principal will perform the contract and post the other types of construction bonds: performance and payment bonds.
Performance bond guarantees to the owner that the contractor will complete the contract in return for payment of the contract price.
Payment bond requires the principal and surety to pay certain workers and project suppliers for labor and materials provided for the contract.
Although most bonds issued are authentic bonds, contractor or subcontractors should be careful and take steps to assure that the bond will provide the guaranteed protection. It is important to verify that a surety is legit before signing the bond.
Con artists and their fraudulent activities have long posed a challenge for the construction surety bond industry. Surety fraud is extremely damaging to its unsuspecting victims as they are left to suffer significant losses with no effective means of recourse.
Anyone can avoid becoming the victim of surety bond fraud by taking steps to verify the legitimacy of the surety bond company.
The surety companies serve under the direction and legal mandates of state and city laws that consequently and indirectly define the terms of the bond services provided by the company. The surety is the point of contact between the principal and the obligee. The primary job of the surety is to provide general contractors and subcontractors with the most suitable bonds that may be required by their clients (government agencies, regulation departments, etc.long term).
It is important that you ask as many questions as are necessary when checking out potential sureties. Being clear about your construction or contract needs in the short-term or long-term view is essential as these will help foresee any financial or legal subtleties that would otherwise go unnoticed. The sureties do the primary assessment of a contractor's performance – financially and materially to authorize the surety bond. When selecting your surety, it is important to gauge their legal know-how of the surety regulations wherever your projects may be taken.
That said, selecting a safe and suitable bonding company for your surety bond needs eliminates you security hassles. A reputable surety bond company covers you for good so you can better utilize your time and resources and prevent being conned. The surety bond industry remains to be vigilant and has been redoubling its efforts to educate the surety bond market about the dangers that con artists present.
Over the years, con artists skillfully prey on the construction industry with elaborately constructed documents, clever ruses, and promises of easy surety credit for minimal or otherwise unbondable contractors. They have come to depend on the neglect of project owners to perform any due diligence or to question red flags throughout the documents they receive and review.
Here are some prime examples of surety bond scams that have plagued the industry.
There are cases where the surety on a worthless bond has a very similar name to a well-known, reputable surety bond company. Using the name of an established surety is a persisting red flag in connection with surety bonds. Some of these similarly-named surety companies own websites that should be carefully checked.
Look for the absence of information on the states in which it is authorized to write surety or insurance business, has a Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU®) certification, or a U.S. Treasury certificate of authority. The best way is to research over the Internet and explore any background you can find to identify the surety bond company.
The years between the 1970s and 1980s saw a recurring stream of surety bonds that were forged by bond principals who were denied surety credit from traditional sources. They took it upon themselves to obtain bid, performance, and payment bonds by falsifying documents, using legal powers of attorney samples. These bond principals were contractors.
These forged documents became known almost immediately after the unsuspecting authorized surety whose name appeared on the bond received a bond claim notice but found no record of that bond. Public owners suddenly found themselves holding only an irrelevant paper as protection against a failing contractor. Project suppliers were left with large receivables and no recourse to a payment bond or lien rights.
But this type of scam still continues today.
"The alleged scam by Gerard Roy of RSI Associates in Prior Lake cost the public, and some of his subcontractors, hundreds of thousands of dollars, a search warrant affidavit claims.
With these common scams, the surety industry has been making efforts that include comprehensive educational programs and insightful lobbying activities. The National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP) has planned and implemented actionable programs and education in the fight against surety bond fraud. The goal is to make the construction industry and public less vulnerable to scams.
Recent investigation (May 2017) have uncovered that Julian Development LLC of Fairfield,CT has presented at least six (6) different fraudulent bonds issued by Great Northern Bonding Ltd and Newport Insurance Company Inc ( both owned by Leo M. Rush of Pelham,NH) on several construction projects ( both private and municipal projects) in Connecticut. The Town of Fairfield,CT has filed a $3 million dollar lawsuit against Julian Development LLC which will be have its first court appearance on May15,2017.

The management of change. Local union responses to company-level restructuring in France and Ireland
a study between and within countries
Valeria Pulignano, Paul Stewart
Work, Employment And Organisation
We argue that, notwithstanding the importance of national industrial relations systems in shaping employment outcomes in situations of company restructuring, differences within countries also exist that cannot be explained by the influence of national institutions. Local union activity can affect corporate restructuring and influence how companies manage restructuring within the EU. The capacity of local unions to use company-based resources and the unions' internal and external social relationships shape the variations in local union responses. In addition, our research suggests that the interplay of these factors in the socio-economic context of restructuring is crucial in explaining variations within countries. The article argues for the need to focus on these company-level developments as a crucial step in undertaking comparative industrial relations research.

You are taking a big step toward a new, healthier life. It's true that many people gain some weight when they stop smoking, but this is not always the case. Keep in mind that the average weight gain is less than 10 pounds. Exercise and healthy eating can stop most, if not all, of the weight gain associated with nicotine withdrawal. The benefits of being tobacco free far outweigh the possibility of gaining a few extra pounds. If you are worried about gaining weight, there are some things you can do to stay fit and smokefree!
Replace high-calorie foods with healthy, low-calorie choices.
Look for low-calorie foods that are high in vitamins and minerals, such as yogurt and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Eat sugar-free candy or juice pops, or chew sugar-free gum.
Choose foods that take longer to eat and keep your hands busy, such as oranges or sunflower seeds in the shell.
Try crunchy foods so your mouth has to work—like pretzels, rice cakes or air-popped popcorn without butter.
Drink water during and between meals.
Pick foods that have less fat and sugar, such as low-fat frozen yogurt.
For more information on how to eat healthy foods, talk to your doctor or a nutritionist, and check out easy ways to get and stay healthy at ShapeYourFutureOK.com.
Try to make time to be active every day. Adults should aim for 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week. Struggling to find 30 minutes? Exercise can be split into short 10-minute spurts throughout the day and still offer the same health benefits as 30 minutes at one time.
Most exercise will help you burn calories and control weight gain. When you talk to your doctor about quitting, ask about exercises or activities that can get you back on the road to being fit. Find activities that you like to do and that will fit into your day. Try taking the stairs, parking farther away from your destination or stretching during breaks.

What is Classical Music?
Classical music, strictly defined, means music produced in the Western world between 1750 and 1820. This music included opera, chamber music, choral pieces, and music requiring a full orchestra. To most, however, the term refers to all of the above types of music within most time periods before the 20th century.
In its limited definition, classical music includes the works of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. From Mozart alone, there are a huge range of pieces to enjoy, as he wrote symphonies, music for quartets and quintets, chamber orchestra pieces, choral pieces, piano concertos, and entire operas. In total, he wrote over 600 musical pieces. Mozart is perhaps best known for his opera, The Magic Flute, although most people also recognize Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, as well as a number of his symphonies and concertos.
Orchestras often perform classical music.
Classical music would not be quite the same without Beethoven, who is particularly known for his symphonies. Beethoven's sixth symphony is probably most recognized because of its pastorale, a section of music used in the Disney film Fantasia. The achingly beautiful Moonlight Sonata was also written by him. Beethoven wrote only one opera, Fidelio, and his genius rests in his symphonies and piano concertos.
A country's folk music also is a form of classical music.
Haydn has often been referred to as the "father of classical music," as his work during this era forms the basis of influence for many others. Ironically, though he is considered the progenitor of the classical era, he is less familiar to most audiences than the composers mentioned above. His Symphony no. 94, The Surprise Symphony, is among his best known works.
Piano concertos are one form of classical music.
Classical music in the broader definition evokes such composers as Bach, who preceded the more rigidly defined era and is more rightly classed in the Baroque period. Vivaldi, perhaps best remembered for The Four Seasons is also of the Baroque period. Handel's Messiah is well known to the many who participate in sing-alongs during the Christmas season.
Beethoven is virtually always included in a list of classical music.
The Romantic Period, which follows directly after the classical period, is known for its emotive qualities. Mahler and Sibelius stand out and tend to be familiar to most. Wagner is perhaps the most frequently recognized of the Romantic composers, his work stormy and grand, and his many operas still performed regularly today.
"Classical" music may also refer to the native and folk music of any country, although the styles vary greatly, depending upon available instruments. For example, the classical music of Indonesia, with its use of the gamelan, is vastly different from what most would consider classical in the western world. Folk traditions in other countries were often quite influential to western music, however, as musicians of the baroque and classical periods often adapted their works from folk music.

@musicshaman: You should include Clair de Lune by Debussy. That one is a lovely piece. Even though I'm 17 years old and I may not know much, I know that this piece is relaxing and lovely and it has so much emotion put into it. That's just my opinion.

I love classical music, and try to get classical music Mp3 recordings whenever I can.
I do agree with firstviolin though -- so many classical music reviews are written only for classical music lovers, with a lot of jargon and fancy terms, so it can be hard for "outsiders" to get into the genre.
But if you're even the least bit interested in classical music, I would really say to go get some recordings, or heck, it you're a musician and prefer playing to listening, then get some classical sheet music.
It is really a great genre of music, and well worth the effort to get into it.
I am trying to put together a basic classical music guide for the kids in my 3rd grade music class, and was wondering what some good classical piano music pieces I should include.
I don't want to put them to sleep with a bunch of serenades or sonatas, but I'd also like to give them a good overview of different recordings and artists.
If there are any music teachers reading this post, what would you include in a basic guide to classical music?
A very informative article, especially given your space constraints.
I think that classical music is so very underappreciated nowadays, and I think that this is in part because of elitism on the part of those who listen to it.
Have you ever considered how expensive classical music tickets are?
No wonder people avoid going to symphonies and the like -- they're just too pricy.
Classical music definitely doesn't deserve the flak it gets for being boring though. If people would actually get some classical music, and listen to it with an open mind, they might see that it's actually very passionate.
And I'm not talking about those old classical music songs that everybody has to sit through in their elementary school music class.
I'm saying, bring on the Bartok, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff -- the really interesting classical music recordings, and then maybe people would get over the idea of classical music being elitist and boring and actually enjoy a great cultural heritage.

I graduated from high school 10 years ago. Finishing year 12 was confusing for me, as I was unsure which career path I wanted to undertake and was not aware of the many alternate pathways available at the time. I completed a Diploma at TAFE and am now studying at UTS.
I am now working for the TAFE Pathways program, where I visit TAFE and talk to students about my own experience transitioning between high school, TAFE and university, and explore their own opportunities by showing them around campus.
I find that TAFE students and teachers are really interested and often approach me with specific questions. They are like me when I was in that situation, wanting to know more, wanting to understand their options. Not all the information is online: What is university life like? What skills do I need to go to university? Talking to someone who is already in that situation is the most effective way of getting that information. That is what the program does.
I think when I left school the information was already out there, but through the Pathways program people like me actively approach schools and TAFE's to make that information known. The program has changed the environment for students and encouraged broader networks within which information is shared.
I teach the Tertiary Preparation Certificate, which is for students who do not have a Higher School Certificate. UTS approached us as part of the Bridges initiative to do some work to encourage our students to apply and enrol at university.
The Pathways program is really about giving extra motivation and confidence to TAFE students to get into university. They become aware that while there are barriers and challenges there are ways around them. They learn where to find the information; they become aware of support services.
I think there has been a really great shift in students' attitudes and where they can see themselves going. I have heard students who had never been to campus before saying this is where I'm going to go in six months time, I'm going to university.
It has been particularly rewarding hearing from university students who have made that transition from TAFE to university, as they identify how they felt at the beginning of their journey to our TAFE students.
The program gave me reassurance about going to university, before that I didn't know what to expect from the university experience. Overall, the most reassuring part about the program was having another person come and tell their story and confirm that what I was doing was going to lead to university.
A student ambassador from UTS talked about their experience of going from being a TAFE student to a student at university. They explained how university worked and the opportunities it presented. It definitely helped and encouraged me by seeing a person who had been through the process and successfully gone on to university. This gave me the extra motivation to do well and finish the course. I am more positive. The Pathways program has helped me build goals; I want to learn about social issues and contribute to the community.


I've been reading about the life of Moses in my devotions lately. Moses asked God to show him His glory, and God graciously did so. There on Mt. Sinai, God descended in a cloud and stood with Moses and proclaimed His own name and character to Moses.
I can't imagine it, standing there in the cloud of God's glory, and hearing God's mighty voice, the voice that spoke the word and this whole universe came into being. ( Psalm 29 is a great chapter to read if you want some further revelation about the power and majesty of God's voice. ) It was such a powerful encounter, that Moses stayed there in the presence of God for forty days. When Moses finally came down from the mountain, his countenance shone with the glory of God.
Elizabeth, I can identify with you. Too many times things crowd out my time with God. But when I set aside time to read his word, pray and worship I come away so much better for it. He fills me with peace and draws me close. Blessings to you! I'm your neighbor at #LetUsGrow!
I so agree, Gayl! I've never regretted time spent in God's presence!

Q: AWS Cognito Admin create user API throws AliasExistsException but also creates the user I am using AWS SDK (Java) for user creation in Cognito via Admin create/signup API documented here
The docs say that the method throws AliasExistException if a user creation is attempted using an email that already exists with another user.
To my surprise, the exception is thrown but at the same time, the user is created in Cognito as well and the new user overrides the email-verified flag for the existing user.
This cannot be the intended behavior. What is the purpose of an exception if the user is anyways created? How can we stop the creation of such users? Am I missing anything?
P.S: I am sending ForceAliasCreation as False

Curiosity led us to bench-test 20 different 3⁄8-inch stud-mount rocker arms on a small-block Chevy. All of them were advertised as having a 1.6:1 ratio—and exactly one of them multiplied the lobe lift of the cam to the valve accordingly. In fact, we witnessed ratios as high as 1.668:1 when rotating the engine over with one rocker in place, and the rest were about 1.650:1. You should be happy about that apparent little miscalculation. It's a perceived design flaw, but it's there on purpose to make up for any deflection present in the body of the rocker arm and the pushrod, as both flex under the load of the valvespring, the stresses of harmonics transmitted throughout the valvetrain, and elevated engine temperatures. Designing more ratio into the rocker should result in a true 1.6:1 multiplication of lobe lift to actual valve lift when the engine is running at peak rpm, although there's no way to know for sure (even with a Spintron machine).
There's more; we weighed, measured, and manhandled every rocker to see what the differences were and then called the manufacturers and distributors to find out what each was made of. The results were surprising.
Westech Performance Group in Mira Loma, California, mocked up each rocker arm using a lightweight, 1.550-inch-diameter checking spring fitted to an AFR 220 cylinder head. A Comp Cams solid-roller bumpstick with a 0.436-inch-tall lobe provided the valve lift. We verified the peak lobe lift with a lifter-bore tool and a dial indicator. Another dial indicator carefully set atop the valvespring retainer recorded the peak valve lift. A calculator and simple math gave us the true rocker ratio, and a gram scale recorded the weight of each part. We used dial calipers to carefully measure the external dimension of the axle, bearing, and nose wheel.
In general, the aluminum-body rocker arms in this grouping aren't rebuildable due to the press fit of the nose-wheel axles. The exception is the rockers by Harland Sharp, which can be rebuilt as long as the pushrod cup is not damaged. Here are a few random facts gleaned from this exercise: Scorpion's Endurance and Platinum Series rockers are essentially the same part, but the Endurance has a 0.200-inch-shorter profile and a shorter polylock, which gives extra valve-cover clearance. Crower's warranty extends only to the body of the rocker arm, not the bearing, axles, or nose wheel.
Most of the aluminum rocker arms are machined from extruded billet stock, although the Crane Energizer and Comp Cams Hi-Energy parts are die-cast, which reduces their strength in comparison to the extruded parts. Steel-body rockers are stronger than aluminum rockers. In an engine application, aluminum's lifespan is significantly shorter than steel or stainless steel due to the fact that it fatigues faster during each heating and cooling cycle. Steel's fatigue limit is approximately half of its tensile strength, while aluminum's fatigue limit is about 40 percent of its tensile strength.
In high-output engines such as those featuring nitrous or forced induction, it's not uncommon to break aluminum-body exhaust rocker arms due to the stress of opening the valve against the added cylinder pressure during the exhaust stroke. Some racers run an aluminum intake rocker and a steel or stainless exhaust rocker to prevent breakage. Many companies are now building steel-body rockers that are as light as or lighter than their aluminum counterparts. Hot rodders with naturally aspirated engines don't have to worry about cylinder pressure breaking an aluminum rocker—just don't screw up your valve-lash spec or allow a broken spring to beat the rocker against the valve.

L' est une boulette japonaise constituée de pâte de sarrasin fermentée enveloppant une farce de légumes, de fruits ou de pâte de haricots anko, le tout rôti dans un moule. Le pain obtenu est cuit à la vapeur ou grillé et consommé chaud.

Les oyaki sont populaires et largement disponibles dans la préfecture de Nagano qui est célèbre pour ce mets.

L'oyaki de Nagano ne doit pas être confondu avec l'imagawayaki qui est fabriqué à partir d'une pâte légère et mangé comme un dessert, bien qu'on puisse trouver de nombreux magasins vendant limagawayaki comme loyaki.

Histoire
Les montagnes abruptes et le climat froid de la préfecture de Nagano ont rendu la culture du riz difficile et ont produit de mauvais rendements au Japon préindustriel. Les agriculteurs se sont tournés vers le sarrasin (soba). La farine ainsi obtenue a ensuite été mélangée à de l'eau et farcie de légumes sauvages, assaisonnée de sauce de soja et de sel.

Q: How to set width and height for indicator icon of an ExpandableListView? I've used selector to set indicator icon for my ExpandableListView but my collapse and expand icon are resized to match the size of the original indicator icon(which is bigger than my icons).
Anyone knows how to set size (width and height) for the indicator icon?
Thanks!

A: No matter what you set the dimensions of your indicator as, the listview Layout's group indicator container has a match_parent for height, and hence your indicator will always be stretched.
I got this working by :
(1) Setting the group indicator to null
(2) Including my custom group indicator in the group Layout.
(3) Having an groupClickListener that changes the state of you indicator.
Code Snippets :
(1) mListView.setGroupIndicator(null);
(2) Included my indicator in the group layout.
<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/help_group_indicator"
    android:layout_width="@dimen/help_group_indicator_dimension"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/help_group_indicator_dimension"
    android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/help_group_indicator_dimension"
    android:src="@drawable/down_icon" />

(3)
    mListView.setOnGroupClickListener(new OnGroupClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onGroupClick(ExpandableListView parent, View clickedView, int groupPosition, long rowId) {
            ImageView groupIndicator = (ImageView) clickedView.findViewById(R.id.help_group_indicator);
            if (parent.isGroupExpanded(groupPosition)) {
                parent.collapseGroup(groupPosition);
                groupIndicator.setImageResource(R.drawable.down_icon);
            } else {
                parent.expandGroup(groupPosition);
                groupIndicator.setImageResource(R.drawable.up_icon);
             }
            return true;
        }
    });

The answer suggested by @Satheesh will work, but only if all groupViews have the same height. If your group layouts have say, wrap text and wrap_content for height, the height might vary according to your content and the padding you set might no longer work.

A:
This will be working definitely:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <item android:state_empty="true">
     <layer-list>
        <item
            android:left="0dp"
            android:right="3dp"
            android:top="20dp"
            android:bottom="20dp"
            android:drawable="@drawable/down_indication">

            android:right="3dp"
            android:top="20dp"
            android:bottom="20dp"
            android:drawable="@drawable/up_indication">
        </item>
     </layer-list>
   </item>

</selector>

A: Did you set the background drawable to be the correct height for your icons? If it's using the default background drawable, you'll get the height/width of the default icon, even if your drawables are smaller.

A: If you have TextView next to the indicator icon in group layout, you can also do the following:
(1) in XML layout for ExpandableListView, remove groupIndicator:
android:groupIndicator="@null"

(2) in getGroupView(...) method of your custom ExpandableListAdapter, set left drawable for TextView:
int leftIcon=R.drawable.ic_noexpand;
if (isExpanded) leftIcon=R.drawable.ic_expand;
lblListHeader.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(
    ContextCompat.getDrawable(_context,leftIcon),null,null,null);

(if min API is >=21, you may use Context instead of ContextCompat)
(3) set android:paddingLeft="0dp" in XML group layout, since space for the indicator icon will now be empty

A: To set width and height for indicator icon of an ExpandableListView and change color of icon programatically in android.
ExpandableListView expandableList;

Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.custom_expandable);
            d.setColorFilter(Color.WHITE, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
            expandableList.setGroupIndicator(d);

Motion ForceEdit
Motion Force is defined as the force interacts with matter to make matter go in motion moving from one place to another place . Motion Force is denoted as Fa measured in Newton N
According to Newton's 2 law, force causes matter to move from one place to another place can be calculated by
{\displaystyle F_{a}=ma}
F a {\displaystyle F_{a}}
. Motion Force
m {\displaystyle m}
. Mass of matter
a {\displaystyle a}
. Acceleration
ImpulseEdit
Impulse is defined as the force causes a mass to move at a speed . According to Newton's 2 law, force causes matter to move from one place to another place can be calculated by
{\displaystyle F_{p}=ma=m{\frac {v}{t}}={\frac {p}{t}}}
F p {\displaystyle F_{p}}
. Impulse
v {\displaystyle v}
. Speed
. Moment
Opposition ForceEdit
Force matter generates to oppose the interacting force . Opposition force is denoted as F- measured in Newton N calculated by
{\displaystyle F_{-}=-F}
F − {\displaystyle F_{-}}
. Opposite Force
F {\displaystyle F}
. Interacting Force
Elastic ForceEdit
Fk is the force that responds to the load on the spring
An elastic force acts to return a spring to its natural length. An ideal spring is taken to be massless, frictionless, unbreakable, and infinitely stretchable. Such springs exert forces that push when contracted, or pull when extended, in proportion to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position.
This linear relationship was described by Robert Hooke in 1676, for whom Hooke's law is named. If Δ y {\displaystyle \Delta y}
is the displacement, the force exerted by an ideal spring equals:
{\displaystyle {\vec {F}}=-k\Delta {\vec {y}}}
k {\displaystyle k}
is the spring constant (or force constant), which is particular to the spring
The minus sign (-) accounts for the tendency of the force to act in opposition to the applied load.
Δ y → {\displaystyle \Delta {\vec {y}}}
. Vertical Displacement
Friction ForceEdit
Friction is a surface force that opposes relative motion. The frictional force is directly related to the normal force that acts to keep two solid objects separated at the point of contact. There are two broad classifications of frictional forces: static friction and kinetic friction.
Static friction forceEdit
The static friction force ( F s f {\displaystyle F_{\mathrm {sf} }}
) will exactly oppose forces applied to an object parallel to a surface contact up to the limit specified by the coefficient of static friction ( μ s f {\displaystyle \mu _{\mathrm {sf} }}
) multiplied by the normal force ( F N {\displaystyle F_{N}}
). In other words, the magnitude of the static friction force satisfies the inequality:
{\displaystyle 0\leq F_{\mathrm {sf} }\leq \mu _{\mathrm {sf} }F_{\mathrm {N} }.}
Kinetic friction forceEdit
The kinetic friction force ( F k f {\displaystyle F_{\mathrm {kf} }}
) is independent of both the forces applied and the movement of the object. Thus, the magnitude of the force equals:
{\displaystyle F_{\mathrm {kf} }=\mu _{\mathrm {kf} }F_{\mathrm {N} },}
where μ k f {\displaystyle \mu _{\mathrm {kf} }}
is the coefficient of kinetic friction. For most surface interfaces, the coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of static friction.
Pressure ForceEdit
Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.Force acts perpendicular on a surface's area . Presure Force is denote as F_A measured in Newton N calculated by
{\displaystyle F_{A}={\frac {F}{A}}}
. Pressure Force
. Area of the surface
Gravitational ForceEdit
The force of attraction between two mass separate at a distance . Gravity Force is denoted as Fg measured in Newton N
{\displaystyle F_{g}=m{\frac {MG}{r^{2}}}}
F g {\displaystyle F_{g}}
r {\displaystyle r}
Centripetal ForceEdit
For an object accelerating in circular motion, the unbalanced force acting on the object equals:
{\displaystyle F_{r}=m{\frac {v^{2}}{r}}=mr\omega ^{2}\,.=mr({\frac {2\pi }{T}})^{2}\,}
F r {\displaystyle F_{r}}
. Centripetal Force
. Mass
. Radius of circle
where m {\displaystyle m}
is the mass of the object, v {\displaystyle v}
is the velocity of the object and r {\displaystyle r}
is the distance to the center of the circular path and r ^ {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\hat {r}}}
is the unit vector pointing in the radial direction outwards from the center. This means that the unbalanced centripetal force felt by any object is always directed toward the center of the curving path. Such forces act perpendicular to the velocity vector associated with the motion of an object, and therefore do not change the speed of the object (magnitude of the velocity), but only the direction of the velocity vector. The unbalanced force that accelerates an object can be resolved into a component that is perpendicular to the path, and one that is tangential to the path. This yields both the tangential force, which accelerates the object by either slowing it down or speeding it up, and the radial (centripetal) force, which changes its direction.
Electrostatic ForceEdit
The attraction force of negative charge attracts the positive charge calculated by Coulom's law
{\displaystyle F={\frac {q_{1}q_{2}}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}\,r^{2}}}=K{\frac {q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}}}
F {\displaystyle F\ }
is the magnitude of the force exerted,
q 1 {\displaystyle q_{1}\ }
is the charge on one body,
is the charge on the other body,
r {\displaystyle r\ }
is the distance between them,
ε 0 {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{0}\ }
is the electric constant or permittivity of free space or permittivity of the vacuum. It is 8.854×10−12 C2 :N-1 m-2 (also F m-1)
K = 1 4 π ε 0 {\displaystyle K={\frac {1}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}\,}}}
Electrodynamic ForceEdit
{\displaystyle F_{E}=qE}
Electromagnetomotive ForceEdit
It is noted that when a charge in motion travels through a magnetic field of a magnet. The charge's magnetic field and magnet's magnetic field interact to bend magnet's magnetic field upward or downward . For positive charge bends magnet's magnetic field upward , negative charge bends magnet's magnetic field downward
For positive charge F B = + q v B {\displaystyle F_{B}=+qvB}
. For negative charge F B = − q v B {\displaystyle F_{B}=-qvB}
. Force interacts with electric charge to creates Magnetic Field
{\displaystyle F_{B}=\pm qvB}
F B {\displaystyle F_{B}}
. Electrodynamic Force
q {\displaystyle q}
. Electric Charge
B {\displaystyle B}
. Electric Field
From above,
{\displaystyle B={\frac {F_{B}}{\pm qv}}}
Electromagnetic ForceEdit
Electromagnetic force acts on an electric charge is the sum of 2 forces Electrostatic force and Electromagnetomotive force
{\displaystyle F_{EB}=F_{E}+F_{B}=qE\pm qvB=q(E\pm vB)}
F E B {\displaystyle F_{EB}}

Free fallEdit
Free fall without air resistance
F = m g = m M G h 2 {\displaystyle F=mg={\frac {mMG}{h^{2}}}}
h = m M G F {\displaystyle h={\sqrt {\frac {mMG}{F}}}}

Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling. The air current is so strong that rock material can be brought to the surface from hundreds of metres down. When it reaches the surface, the dust and chips are fed into a cyclone splitter that slows the air flow down and divides the sample into small and large samples.
Reverse circulation. Today, reverse circulation is the preferred method for initial exploration, ore body development and in-pit grade control. The technology has gained ground for its speed, efficiency and ability to provide accurate samples for evaluation by geologists.

Whether your news comes from Twitter, the TV, or a newspaper, respect the opinion of the person who took the time to write it. With all of the crazy events happening with our President and his advisers, to what people hear in a voice recording, we need to find the right events to voice our opinions. While people either heard Yanny or Laurel, there was hardly any mention of bombings in the Middle East or the rapid change in climate. Is Yanny or Laurel really that important at the end of the day? Eight students and two teachers were killed on May 18, 2018 and I hardly heard any coverage until three days later.
Our news feeds have become cluttered with opinions that are not contributing anything of value to society. Personally, I don't care about a Twitter poll asking if someone's hair should be kept long or short. Tell me something new about President Trump's policies. Explain the lack of mental health funding in America. Teach me something that I can use to make the world better.
As a generation, we are so quick to post immediately what we think without thinking "does this matter?" or "does anyone actually need to know this?". I am also guilty of tweeting irrelevant things or not voicing my opinion on actual news. We are the generation who has so much power and can be great activists for a change, but we instead post about pointless memes or tweet about people.
So before you post a rude comment or subtweet someone, think to yourself, "what does this actually contribute?" "Is this making an impact that is positive?". Be the person who makes our generation known for something powerful and not something irrelevant. Make your social media presence relevant.

Martin Luther King, Jr. cast a bold vision when he first uttered "I have a dream" in front of 250,000 civil rights supporters who had gathered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. On August 28th, 50 years will have gone by since that historic day that imagined a brighter future for African Americans.
Dreams are powerful things. They have the capacity to ignite passions, and inspire action. On the occasion of my 700th blog post, I thought that casting a vision of what our community and region will be like when we are wildly successful with the work that lies in front of Arts Council Wood Buffalo might be an appropriate way to mark the moment. Into my second week in the new role, vision and dreams have never been more important.
Fort McMurray is a magnet for artists, attracting a broad range of creative types, drawn to the perplexing and alluring dichotomy of the world's most sustainable community serving one the largest industrial projects in the history of humanity.
We have a menu of performance venues that attract myriad artists, from the hottest stars to the most talented up-and-comers, and provide meaningful and plentiful opportunities for our growing legions of local performers.
Keyano Theatre and Arts Centre is thriving with musicians, visual artists, writers and theatre practitioners exploring, learning, collaborating, colliding, innovating and performing at all hours of the day and in all four seasons. It is the cultural incubator of the north, working closely with its counterpart to the south, the Banff Centre.
The Writer's Residence run by the Fort McMurray Public Library is one of the cultural hallmarks of the region, attracting acclaimed authors and promising literary neophytes who create brave new work and make deep connections with our community. The property's two-car garage, transformed into a brilliant studio, provides creative space for local artists and visiting creators.
NorthWord is a flagship literary publication, now into its 10th year. It has published a number of hardcover table top editions, featuring a compelling collection of writings that capture the beauty, wonder and mystery of life in the north.
A vibrant visual art scene is further enhanced by a self-sustaining affordable housing/studio facility adjacent to a thriving urban market, giving artists the opportunity to live, work, display and sell their creations.
Public art is in abundance and offers residents and visitors alike delightful creative surprises in unexpected places. Born out of a public art policy that has become the gold standard for municipalities in Canada, the Wood Buffalo public art program provides visual reminders of our rich Aboriginal heritage, fur trading, salt production and transportation traditions, oil sands development, and the big spirit and limitless potential intrinsic to our identity.
Two Class "A" galleries, one at Keyano College and another at the Arts Centre in the Civic Plaza district, feature a mix of world-class traveling exhibitions and local, regional and provincial displays. For the students of the region, these galleries provide enviable interpretive opportunities and the chance to engage with a stunning range of visiting artists.
Live music is available everywhere you turn: in the pubs, restaurants, theatres, public parks, city square and at festivals and concerts, large and small, that occur throughout the year. The genres represented reflect the rich diversity of Wood Buffalo, home to people who have come here from every single nation on earth.
Music programs in the school systems have grown to levels not seen in several decades, with senior bands in each of the high schools numbering between 75 - 100 students. The creation of music and learning an instrument have become among the most popular electives of the secondary school experience.
Wood Buffalo has spawned a number of successful musical acts, making significant waves on the national scene. Something about the music culture in our region, coupled with the energy of the place, provides music creators with opportunities and inspiration that seems to resonate far beyond our borders. One musical act, comprising of people from all seven continents and four different cultures, has created a sound and a story that reverberates across the country, a symbol of the cultural tapestry that exists in this place we call home.
Dance continues to flourish in Wood Buffalo, with healthy and dynamic companies and venues that are the envy of the rest of the province. An annual Festival of Dance attracts hundreds of dancers, thousands of guests and is a one-of-a-kind celebration that earns national attention.
Fort McMurray has become known for producing some of the best prospects in the world of professional dance. Those dancers who began with local companies and are working full-time in major centres across North America, now number in the dozens.
Theatre has grown in leaps and bounds with a dramatic increase in participation fueled by major Keyano Theatre Company productions that successfully ignite the passions of performers, young and old. Their season now consists of six productions, utilizing a variety of venues and boasting a membership base of over 2,500 people.
Several community theatre groups are very active, giving valuable entry points and performance opportunities. A successful professional dinner theatre is located in a prime location in the heart of the city centre, providing sustainable employment for its resident company of actors, theatre artists and technicians.
The interPLAY Festival, now counted as one of the top gatherings of artists in Canada, provides an incredible selection of performing and visual arts over 10 days. A strong community theatre culture has made the indoor productions as popular as the marquee street performer shows, attracting shows from around the world - a northern counterpoint to the legendary Edmonton International Fringe Festival.
The Foster Festival, an annual offering of comedic plays crafted by Canada's most prolific playwright, attracts thousands of tourists to the region who enjoy great theatre, tours of the oil sands, side trips to the Fort McKay amphitheatre for unforgettable performances, and guided walking tours along Morimoto Promenade, the interpretive path that stretches from MacDonald Island all the way to the horse pasture lands past Waterways.
The Fort McMurray Filmmakers Association and the burgeoning community of film artists are doing ground-breaking work, producing shorts and features that consistently turn heads at festival across North America. "What the hell is happening in Fort McMurray?' is a question often asked by film afficienados as they marvel at the quality and freshness of the work being produced in this remote northern location.
Young people who have an interest in pursuing the arts as a career, can fully explore that path without feeling compelled to leave the community. Many choose to stay, learn and work in Wood Buffalo, seizing the growing number of creative opportunities that exist in what has become known as Alberta's Northern Cultural Capital.
This vision is not complete, nor does it begin to touch the myriad opportunities that we have to create a culturally dynamic region and community. I just gleaned the surface based on my limited knowledge and exposure to what is happening, what is being talked about by various organizations and individuals, and what is coming down the pike in terms of new facilities and initiatives. There is so much more I have yet to discover or even imagine; of that, I am convinced.
At the very least, to quote an observation from Franco Savoie from the YMCA, someone needs to plant a flag in the ground and say with boldness and complete conviction: "This is what we will aspire to!"
I agree with him. So, let me grab my Wood Buffalo flag, and with total belief and intention thrust in into the top of the mountain and say: "We will be a world-renowned centre for arts and culture!"
Is it a bold vision? Yes. It is achievable? Absolutely. Together, we can make anything happen.
