Abstract: A method for the accurate measurement of the transmission coefficient of acoustic filters is described. The measurement is an adaptation of the standing wave apparatus and results have been obtained for the transmission pipe with a constricted section. The greater accuracy of the results shows good agreement with the one-dimensional filter theory with a revised interpretation of the constriction length. © 1987.

*Blog Tour with Review* A Wright Christmas by K.A. Linde
November 17, 2020 November 18, 2020 A Sky Filled with Sparkling Stars Blog
A new second chance single dad stand alone romance set in the world of the Wrights from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde…
At seventeen, I left Isaac Donoghue behind to become a professional ballerina.
When I return home to dance in the Nutcracker, I never expect to run into him. Let alone on my first day in town.
I can't help but admire him in a crisp suit with his toned soccer body, chiseled jawline, and all too familiar piercing green eyes. I thought nothing could surprise me more.
Until his five year old daughter runs out of the ballet studio.
I'm only in town for a month. I shouldn't get involved with anyone, especially the ex I've been pining after for years.
Especially now that he's a single dad with a daughter to consider.
But where Isaac is concerned, I've never been able to stay away.
With the help of some Christmas magic, maybe we finally have a shot at our second chance.

Rachael's Review
With every new Linde release I am excited to go down the rabbit hole of emotions she brings out in me. With each new Wright book, I have come to expect and love all the angst she puts into her books. Her books are the type that keep you on your toes. Well, in A Wright Christmas, that is even more accurate than ever.
I was so thrilled to get a Linde Christmas books. She loves Christmas, I love it, what is not to love about the possibility of a Christmas book? Well she did not disappoint. In A Wright Christmas we get the story of Isaac and Peyton. Their story is truly a unique one as he is a single dad, she is a dancer fleeing NYC to come home. What will happen when their worlds collide? Emotion, angst, cheer, steaminess, and so much more! While she only plans to be home for the month, she soon finds herself falling deeper and deeper into the world of Isaac and not sure how she can ever leave.
What is there not to love about a 2nd chance romance, a single dad and the entire thing is set at Christmas? The passion they once knew is back and fiercer than it ever was. Will the one thing tying Peyton to the big city be strong enough to pull her back? Or will her heart finally allow her to give in to what she has wanted for years. Grab this one today and enjoy a peak into the Wright family once again, but this time with a few added flairs of Christmas!
Amanda's Review
What's not to like about any of KA Linde's books!! The woman surely knows how to grab your attention and keep you reading!!!
Peyton is back home in Lubbock, Texas as a dancer. Why leave New York you may ask??? Is there a love interest back home? Is Peyton ready for love, a family, to stop dancing?
Issac is a father of a precious girl whom he loves with all his heart!!! A father whom works so much and doesn't make time for himself.
Will Peyton and Issac become more than friends? I'm not gonna tell!! Grab a cup of something hot and fuzzy blanket and settle in for an amazing read. You'll never regret it!!!

A drawing of a shinty
player from our sport
Shinty — or in Gaelic, 'camanachd' or 'iomain' — is arguably the most Scottish sport of them all.
A stick-and-ball game played by two teams of 12 players, it has some similarities to hockey and lacrosse. Shinty probably shares a common ancestry with the Irish game of hurling.
Mainly played today in the Highlands, shinty was taken by Highland emigrants to England, Lowland Scotland, Australia, and is even played today in California. It is also played at the Universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, St Andrews and Inverness UHI.
A fast-moving and exciting game, its popularity has increased with match broadcasts on BBC ALBA and BBC Two Scotland.
We have many publications on shinty, including team histories and publications of the sport's governing body, the Camanachd Association. The sport is also covered in the sports pages of the many Highland newspapers that we collect.

Two television anchorwomen — one from China and one from the US — will debate
two sides of the long-running trade dispute between the two countries.
Liu Xin, a mainstay of the China Global

ssues such as tariffs and technology
Wednesday at 8 pm EDT in the US and simultaneously at 8 am Thursday in China.
The discourse will take place via satellite, as Liu will be in CGTN's studio in Beijing, while Regan will be at Fox's studio in New York.
The debate idea came about after the two newswomen clashed earlier this month after Regan said Beijing stole "$600 bill

Beijing will not sacrifice forex reserves to defend its currency, analysts say
China would rather rely on market-oriented forces to determine the renminbi's value than defend its currency by d
ipping into its $3 trillion foreign exchange reserves amid trade disagreements, analysts said.
The United States Treasury announced on Wednesday that it could not label China a
s a "currency manipulator" after Washington monitored the recent performance of the RMB.
No evidence was found to show Chinese monetary authority intervention in foreign exchange markets over the past sev
eral months, according to the US Treasury's semiannual foreign-exchange report to Congress.

Guo Shuqing, Party secretary of the People's Bank of China, the central bank, said on Monda

The currency's depreciation was purely caused by market forces, a
d China has never taken any measures to deliberately devalue the currency to make its exports more
attractive, said Guo, who is also head of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission.
According to Guo, the short-term fluctuation of the RMB exchange
rate was normal, and the depreciation will not last long given the stable economic growth base.

oreign investors may get access to more onshore commodity contracts
China will give foreign investors more access to its commodity futures market as part of it
s continuing efforts to strengthen the real economy, the top securities regulator said on Tuesday.
The move will benefit both overseas and domestic market participants, and
the opening-up of the stock index futures market will also speed up, experts said.

"Moreover, as foreign investors' trading helps boost liquidity in the domestic market and makes the price changes mor
e consistent with international trends, domestic market participants can also better hedge against risks," he said.
Experts also expect China to open up the stock index futures mark
et to foreign investors, as they have large exposure in t
he A-share market and are therefore in need of this risk management tool.
Foreign investors' access to onshore stock index futures is an "infrastructure" for fin
ancial market opening-up, without which foreign investors' passion for Chinese shares may be dampened, said Wa

The National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planner, said on
Tuesday that the country is willing to continue supplying rare-earth metals to world markets but is oppo

It also said that the industries of China and the United States are highly compleme

Exactly how I feel. Fantastic evening for everyone.
We're in a good place now whether we stay up or go down.
Couldn't really fault anything today.
It wouldn't have surprised me if our season just drifted off and ended on a whimper, but today has restored my hope that we'll fight with renewed vigour and confidence till the end.
Well said. Support......knocking your team down isn't supporting. Nice to see so many supporting our team today.
Maybe just maybe , Niasse and Bobby R willl do the biz .

Q: Fragment.OnStop is not called while Activity.OnStop is called I have ActivityA which contains FragmentF.
ActivityA contains also NavigationDrawer infrastructure.
When I start the app - all is fine.
There are called (among others):
ActivityA.OnStart
FragmentF.OnStart
ActivityA.OnResume
FragmentF.OnResume

.. and content is shown.
But when I press home (to minimize app & show home screen) - here comes the problem:
ActivityA.OnStop is called
FragmentF.OnStop is NOT called
Interesting facts:
- if I switch items in NavigationDrawer then FragmentF.OnStop is called and content of another fragment is loaded in ActivityA
- in all cases (minimize the app & switch content in NaviDrawer) FragmentF.OnPause is always called
As a workaround I put code (expected to work in OnStop) to OnPause but wondering:
- why FragmentF.OnStop is not called
- how to make it called
I'm using Xamarin (thus CamelCase namie convention :) - but I don't suspect this platform for bug, it seems like Android native behavior.

A: First of all, I do not know what kind of specific layout in your project or use other plugins. I test it in my demo(Activity contains Fragment).
github.com/851265601/FragmentDemo
When i click the home button, Onstop of Fragment was called like screenshot in this demo. This issue may related other reasons, do you use Util.log to generate it and capture the log in logcat. Note: Don't put time-consuming operations in OnPause

Ana Simó about Mami Jordan: "It's a sign of how our society is"
By allostream
The New Diario, Santo Domingo.- Ana Simó, psychologist and sex therapist, said Wednesday, through a publication on his Twitter account that "Mami Jordan is a sign of how our society is", referring to the controversial video that circulates on social networks, where it is visualizedTo the aforementioned personality of social networks to make a dance qualified as sensual to his minor son.
The video, where the child is shown in underwear, was broadcast through a "live", in his mother's Facebook account that appears under the name of "Mami Jordan la Para Para 23".
In that sense, Simó said that "in short, what Mommy Jordan did with his son of course that he was not well but I wonder how many do not?She is a sample of the consequences of abandonment and sexual abuse, "and said" that parents are the ones who need to be educated in sexuality ".
After the video went viral on social networks, the Instagramer, came out in his defense through a video he published on his Instagram account on Tuesday night, and questioned why they do not better investigate the case of the girlLiz María, the little girl who was sexually abused, murdered and subsequently her body launched into the Caribbean Sea for being Francisco Santos aka "El Panadero".
He also said that his children "have more education than others", and added "now what they want is to cover the sun with a finger.That is the subject that is.What happens is that the sick and maniacos are what is great, because I do not see anything weird.What they say is that Dizque grabbed Don Miguelo and now they go with me.And what I say, the girl's theme for when? ".
The video generated negative opinions, especially after knowing this Monday that the urban exponent Don Miguelo is being held at the Palace of Justice of the municipality of San Francisco de Macorís, after disseminating videos of minors in their social networks, dancing its mostrecent musical single "And what was it?", Under the framework of making a challenge in order to promote the aforementioned simple.

Phenolic matrices and sisal fibers modified with hydroxy terminated polybutadiene rubber: Impact strength, water absorption, and morphological aspects of thermosets and composites
INDUSTRIAL CROPS AND PRODUCTS, v.31, n.1, p.178-184, 2010

RAMIRES, Elaine C.
FROLLINI, Elisabete
The aim of the present work was to investigate the toughening of phenolic thermoset and its composites reinforced with sisal fibers, using hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene rubber (HTPB) as both impact modifier and coupling agent. Substantial increase in the impact strength of the thermoset was achieved by the addition 10% of HTPB. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the material with 15% HTPB content revealed the formation of some rubber aggregates that reduced the efficiency of the toughening mechanism. In composites, the toughening effect was observed only when 2.5% of HTPB was added. The rubber aggregates were found located mainly at the matrix-fiber interface suggesting that HTPB could be used as coupling agent between the sisal fibers and the phenolic matrix. A composite reinforced with sisal fibers pre-impregnated with HTPB was then prepared; its SEM images showed the formation of a thin coating of HTPB on the surface of the fibers. The ability of HTBP as coupling agent between sisal fibers and phenolic matrix was then investigated by preparing a composite reinforced with sisal fibers pre-treated with HTPB. As revealed by its SEM images, the HTPB pre-treatment of the fibers resulted on the formation of a thin coating of HTPB on the surface of the fibers, which provided better compatibility between the fibers and the matrix at their interface, resulting in a material with low water absorption capacity and no loss of impact strength.

Great Island CCGT power boosts South East
Energy Technology Thermal Energy / 08/10/2013
SSE's Great Island natural gas CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) plant currently under construction is delivering a real economic power boost to the South East.
The €331m project, which will become operational in late 2014 and will significantly decarbonise electricity generation in Ireland, is making an important economic contribution, not just nationally but also importantly locally.
Peter Gavican, SSE's Project Manager for the Great Island CCGT Project, said:
"Through indirect investment SSE is significantly supporting local services and businesses during the project construction phase. This is in addition to the ongoing support of the local business community from the existing operational power plant.
"Currently around 600 workers are on site daily and employed on the construction of the new CCGT plant at Great Island, around 70% of whom live locally in Wexford, Waterford and Kilkenny. In addition to the major economic stimulus and local direct jobs, SSE's investment is making an important contribution to businesses such as hotels, B&Bs, restaurants and shops in the region."
Speaking recently to the New Ross Standard newspaper, Brandon House Hotel Manager Bettie Marie Burger-Smit said: "There has been a great economic benefit to the area from the Great Island power plant being constructed. We have directly benefited at the hotel and we know from talking to contractors and suppliers that they have benefited also."
Ms Burger-Smit said employees at the plant under construction have been staying on a long term basis at the hotel, as well as other accommodations and rental properties within a 20 mile radius of the plant.
"One family who used to work in England returned as some of them got work at Great Island. It's very positive and the gas line is coming which will bring untold positive benefits to the county."rea

My barn paintings have been put on hold while I have been tending to little ones. In times like these, when I find myself with no time to work, I always turn to knitting. Knitting can be done just about anywhere, sitting on floor playing lego or playmobil or holding a feverish clingy baby. It always gets me through, and helps me to hold on to my sanity.
These bunnies were supposed to be Easter presents, but when you are knitting something this cute and fluffy right next to the person you are making it for, it is pretty hard to hide it. This little bunny (pattern free from RebeccaDanger's site.) is a huge hit with Sosi. For Ila, I think I will make a Tofu dog (how can I resist that name?).
So cute with that mohair halo. Nice job! YOu are an inspiration.


It seems a group of teen girls living near Boston made a pact to get pregnant around the same time and raise their babies together.
There are about 17 girls pregnant at the school where normally there would only be four per year.
School officials investigated and found out about the scheme.
Officials at the school health clinic became suspicious when the girls in question kept going to the clinic for multiple pregnancy tests and seemed disappointed when they came out negative.
One of the girls said she got pregnant by a "24-year-old homeless guy.
The school superintendent said the girls are generally girls who lack self esteem and love in their lives.
Seriously? Girls want to be teen mothers?

What they're saying: Is this year's Flyers team actually a contender?
By Evan Macy
Kate Frese/for PhillyVoice
Philadelphia Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom celebrates a goal against the Vegas Golden Knights.
It was just two weeks ago that the Flyers, looking like another meandering, middle-of-the-road version of themselves, were blown to bits by rivals the Penguins 7-1. Things weren't looking great.
Until they were.
MORE ON THE FLYERS

Flyers start holding 200 standing room-only tickets to be released every game day
New Flyers coach Alain Vigneault has big expectations for his team in first season at helm
In the six games since, Philadelphia has gone 5-0-1, has won back-to-back games via the shootout, and has played itself back into the top three in the division, holding a playoff slot if the season ended today. According to the oddsmakers at betonline.ag, the Flyers have already increased their Stanley Cup title chances from 33-1 to 20-1.
Of course, the season doesn't end today — it doesn't end for several more months. But experts across the hockey landscape are seeing something special in South Philly this year.
Things have started to click, the consistency that has lacked for nearly a decade is starting to settle in and for the first time in ages, true optimism looks to be running rampant among Flyers fans.
Here's a brief look at what they're saying about the Flyers in the midst of a stellar stretch of hockey:
This is a good team
The Flyers didn't beat just anyone over the last two weeks. They have handled quality opponents, defeating the top three teams in the Atlantic Division (Boston, Montreal, Toronto). Here is more on the team's apparent ability to rise to the level of competition of their opponents from The Athletic's Charlie O'Connor:
Suddenly, it feels right for fans to be excited. And while the Flyers nearly reached that point after their 7-4 comeback win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 26 — don't forget, following that game, they arguably had the best advanced stat profile in hockey — they failed to stick the landing. This time, they responded to a three-game winning streak in style, dominating the Atlantic Division-leading Boston Bruins for two periods, then hanging on in the third for a guaranteed point despite clearly running out of gas on the second night of a road back-to-back (and fourth game in six days), and then nabbing the extra point in the skills competition.
This wasn't an easy week. Carolina is probably the best play-driving team in hockey. Montreal isn't too shabby in that area, either, and will be in the mix for a wild-card spot this season. Toronto is still one of the most skilled teams in hockey (and had John Tavares and Jake Muzzin back for this rematch). Boston was one win from winning the Stanley Cup in June. Yet the Flyers didn't just defeat those clubs; they also narrowly carried play against them, generating 53.13 percent of the expected goals and 50.86 percent of the shot attempts (after adjusting for score effects) during the four-game stretch. Simply put: This is a good team, playing good hockey against other good teams. [The Athletic]
Too soon to tell...
According to hockey-reference.com, the Flyers currently have a 60.6% chance of making the postseason. The always fantastic and insightful Dave Isaac (from the Courier Post) is fine with giving the Flyers their due for what they've accomplished during a shirt stint of success, but notes that the true measure of a team's playoff fathomability is yet to come:
It's Nov. 11 and the Flyers are in a playoff spot. Ask again in three weeks because Thanksgiving has traditionally been the more important indicator. Since the 2005-06 season, 75.5 percent of the teams that were in a playoff position at U.S. Thanksgiving were still there at the end of the season.
The Flyers have bucked that trend three times in the last six seasons, but it hasn't been good enough. They haven't won a playoff round since 2012 and that lost postseason revenue is why things are so expensive down at Wells Fargo Center despite a team that hasn't done very much winning the past few seasons.
So for the Flyers to be in a playoff spot now, even after only 17 games, raises the question of whether they're a legitimate force. The short answer is that it's too soon to tell but there are a few trends that are heading in the right direction. [Courier Post]
Starting gun
Jordan Hall over at NBCSP notes several reasons for Philly's success, but one of the most obvious and undeniable is the team's fast start to games. It bucks a recent trend fans no doubt were tortured by over the last few years as the Flyers played from behind seemingly every single game. Playing from ahead is certainly a better recipe for success:
The Flyers are starting to jump on teams in the first 20 minutes, which is refreshing considering all the sluggish starts to games that plagued the team in recent years past.
Last season, the Flyers were forced to constantly play from behind. They allowed the NHL's second-most first-period goals (94) and finished with a minus-31 goal differential during the opening stanza.
Over their last four games, the Flyers have outscored the opposition 6-0 in the first period. Setting the tone has helped the Flyers dictate pace and play Vigneault's style. [NBC Sports]
Oskar winning performance
In a league dominated by high draft picks, the Flyers are getting more than just complimentary contributions from one of their recent fifth-round picks, Oskar Lindblom. The young winger has a real chance to solidify himself as a true scoring threat on the Flyers' best performing line this season. Here's a bit more on the Swede from Sam Carchidi over at the Inquirer:
In 17 games this season, Lindblom has eight goals, which is tied for the team lead with 22-year-old linemate Travis Konecny, and 14 points. He didn't score his eighth goal last season until Game 54 on Feb. 9.
The last time two players 23 or younger led the Flyers in goals through 10 or more games: Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, with six goals each through 10 games in 2007-08, according to the NHL.
The line of Lindblom, Sean Couturier, and Konecny has been the Flyers' best unit, keying a 10-5-2 start going into Wednesday's home game against powerful Washington....
..."It's nice to show even if you get drafted in the late rounds, you can be on this level," Lindblom said. "… I felt like I was probably going to have a little more time to show I can be an NHL player, so I took that time and worked hard." [Inquirer.com]
Working smart
We'll conclude with some optimism from Broad Street Hockey's Drew Meyer, who like the above Flyers' writers sees a different energy and level of play than the mediocre teams of the recent past:
It may be an old adage, but the Flyers aren't just working hard, they're working smart. I believe it was our own Bill Matz who said that the Flyers are finally playing a full 60-minutes of hockey and are keeping up the compete level. This could not be more true, yet it goes beyond compete level. The Flyers have been able to nearly perfect doing the "little things" right, which in turn, has led to more noticeable "big things", like say...goals! It is a welcome sight to see, and has me incredibly excited for the future of this hockey club. [Broad Street Hockey]

Project Adhirachana
Graduation Project done with National Institute of Design and IBM iX India
Theme : Rethinking Design Education for Public Schools in India
This project is part of the work done at Interactive Experiences (iX), IBM during the 6-month graduation project internship in 2019 in Bangalore. IBM iX within IBM works at the intersection of strategy, design and technology to digitally reinvent businesses. Due to NDA reasons with National Institute of Design (NID), the project can be available to access only on request. Kindly reach out to know more about the same.
An overview -
Working with a design & strategy studio is dynamic and while most of the work done at iX is for B2C platforms, the Project has been pursued under the mentorship & initiation of the Chief Design Officer Mr. Sudhindra Venkateshmurthy as an attempt to explore how IBM can participate in making Design Education more accepted in Indian schools. The author also has been mentored on this project by two Design Directors and some more professionals with insights and experience with education field. Design Thinking has been one of the main beliefs & mindsets used at IBM and the Project has incorporated the 'Observe-Reflect-Make' methodology by the same.
The type of work done can be termed as an exploratory design research project. Adhirachana means 'superstructure' and is symbolic of the very nature of this Project which has incorporated a lot of creative process & exploratory research and analysis to the core of it. The author feels it has a mix of different tools & methods that are explored not only in design research & service design.
The deliverable expected by IBM was a Curriculum Framework & a syllabus draft, hence Phase 1 of this Project focuses on that. The internship terminated in 1st week January.
The author further wished to carry the Project Adhirachana forward after Phase 1 and termination of her internship. Being an Interaction Designer, she felt it'd be serviceable & promising to also add a Phase 2 to the Project Adhirachana to give an interactive solution concept. The author also intends to start small with the solution idea and implement it in the future as her way of giving back to the education system that she has greatly learned and benefited from.
The Intellectual Property Rights for Chapter Ideate & Create : Phase 2 onwards lie with the Author and National Institute of Design as it was pursued outside her project initiative with IBM. Her colleagues, insights by the guides and mentors have been of great help for the formulation of Phase 2.
The project required a intense analysis & synthesis of insights from all the data gathered and information obtained. It was a good learning experience from being able to translate 'inferences' to 'insights' which is an art in itself. It further deepened the author's interest in Design Research and Service Design.

Trevor Noah in many ways fits the mold of the Oscar host. Smart and clever with a command of current events--the Daily Show host's humor was relegated to a singular appearance on the host-less 2019 edition of the awards show.
Noah made the most of it--ripping Mel Gibson and pulling-one-over on all but those who speak the South African language-- Xhosa.
While introducing best picture nominee Black Panther, he jokingly talked about growing up in "Wakanda", where he said he often watched T'Challa "fly over his village", using the phrase "'abelungu abazi uba ndiyaxoka'.
Noah said the phrase means, 'In times like these, we are stronger when we fight together than when we try to fight apart." Applause followed. Uh huh.

Републикански път II-53 е второкласен път, част от републиканската пътна мрежа на България, преминаващ по територията на области Велико Търново, Сливен, Ямбол и Бургас. Дължината му е 212,1 km, която го прави трети по дължина второкласен път в България след Републикански път II-37 и Републикански път II-11.

Пътят започва при 90,9 km на Републикански път I-5, в центъра на село Поликраище и се насочва на югоизток. Преминава през село Първомайци, пресича река Янтра и през градовете Горна Оряховица и Лясковец достига до Републикански път I-4 при неговия 136,4 km. След това преминава през селата Драгижево и Мерданя, слиза в долината на река Веселина (ляв приток на Стара река), минава през село Миндя и достига до Златаришка река (десен приток на Веселина). По нейната проломна долина се насочва на юг, нагоре по реката и достига до източната част на град Елена, където завива на изток. Тук пътят последователно преминава през селата Марян, Беброво и Константин, при село Майско, завива на юг, слиза в долината на Стара река и навлиза в Сливенска област.

Тук Републикански път II-53 преминава по долината на Стара река, минава през село Стара река и започва изкачване по северния склон на Стара планина. През прохода Вратник (1050 м) преодолява планината и по южните ѝ склонове, село Бяла и долината на Асеновска река (ляв приток на Тунджа) се спуска в центъра на град Сливен. Оттук пътят продължава на югоизток през Сливенското поле, минава през село Крушаре, пресича река Тунджа и навлиза в Ямболска област.

В Ямболска област пътят пресича най-източните, ниски разклонения на Сърнена Средна гора и отново се спуска в долината на Тунджа. Преминава през западната и южната част на град Ямбол, отново пресича река Тунджа и продължава на югоизток и изток покрай южните склонове на възвишениета Бакаджици. Последователно преминава през селата Калчево, Победа, Челник, Тамарино и Войника и навлиза в Бургаската низина и Бургаска област.

Преминава през селата Зорница, Загорци и Светлина и се спуска в долината на Средецка река. Преди град Средец пресича реката, минава през града и в източната му част се свързва с Републикански път II-79 при неговия 65,7 km.

По протежението на пътя вляво и вдясно от него се отделят 8 броя третокласни пътища, в т.ч. 2 броя с трицифрени номера и 6 броя с четирицифрени:

Третокласни пътища с трицифрени номера:
 при 145,6 km, в югозападната част на град Ямбол — надясно Републикански път III-536 (45,8 km) до 119,6 km на Републикански път II-55, западно от село Маца;
 при 210,3 km, в северната част на град Средец — наляво Републикански път III-539 (45,1 km) до град Айтос;

Третокласни пътища с четирицифрени номера:

The South African branch of the Italian construction company CMC di Ravenna has chosen Pilosio's solutions for the construction of a new bridge in Durban, project name N2/ Cornubia Interchange.
This overpass will serve to streamline traffic by linking the Umhlanga industrial zone with the Cornubia new development area (Tongat). Recently, the two companies have already been working with mutual satisfaction in the construction of the major Mount Edgecombe Interchange motorway junction, which included two of the longest viaducts in the country.
Material supplied by Pilosio: MP shoring, MP heavy-duty walls, MAXIMIX modular formwork for decks, MP stairway access.
Considering that Pilosio studied and provided to CMC a custom made system for another bridge, Pilosio engineers collaborated with CMC ones to reuse the same system. The idea was to use a tried and tested system and exploit their assets. Moreover, competitors offered other solutions, meaning non-reusable wooden ribs.
The Cornubia Boulevard Overpass is a three-box, cast-in-situ concrete deck of 127,0 m length, divided into three spans.
One of the complexity of the project lies on the fact that the construction of the bridge have to take place without interrupting the normal traffic flow of the highway. This led to the construction of large portholes above the highway to allow for the pre-assembling of formworks panels, installing of the rebars and deck casting operations in a complete safety process.
Another main complexity for the construction lies on the fact that the viaduct has a longitudinal slope of 2.4°, a traversal slope of the cross section plus a pre-camber casting deck.
MP Heavy-duty support system was provided for portholes support in order to overpass the highway: HD Walls of 19.20 m long and 12.27 m high spanning a clearance of 16,0 m and with a total load capacity of 1,451 kN.
The deck and the wings of the bridge were poured on plywood surface installed on a grid of secondary timber beams and main steel walings (double UPN100 profiles) formwork. (In case of structures that has to over pass the roads). In this case, the deck of the bridge was installed over supporting truss beams 150 cm high, made of HE340A and double L-shaped beams, coupled by vertical braces.
Adjustable foot plates, placed between the steel walings of the bridge deck and the trusses, allowed to give pre-camber to the casting. The steel trusses were supported by steel beams placed over MP Heavy Duty towers. In the horizontal plane, the trusses were stiffened by means of tube and fittings, both on the upper and on the lower cords of the trusses.
The stresses in the steel elements of main beams and the nodal reactions were obtained from 3D FEM dedicated model of the structure, carried out with SAP2000 software. All the static checks were carried out by Pilosio engineers according to EN 1993 Standard.
The foot plate extraction had to guarantee the transversal sloping of the cross section plus the pre-camber that allows the casting to have horizontal bottom deck after false work dismantling. The pre-camber was obtained from 3D FEM model of the supporting structure.
The gross longitudinal sloping of the bridge of 2.4° was obtained with the inclination of the main trusses. The steel trusses were fixed on the left support of the portal (bolt connection) and free to move horizontally on the right support. Thus, the horizontal action due to sloping were all applied on the left support (MP Heavy Duty support tower).
The MP Heavy Duty tower base jacks were fixed to the ground and braced to the lateral MP standard platform in order to avoid any tipping risk. As an alternative, cables or ballast could be placed.
As temporary support platform, MP Pilosio multi directional shoring system fitted perfectly with all the site requirements. The support platforms was obtained by connecting square or rectangular modules together. Height varies from 6,5 m to 12,7 m was easily covered thanks to the flexibility of the MP system. Different capacities were reached with various configurations of braces and ledgers.
Two casting phases were performed: the first phase is the pouring of the bottom deck and the second phase is the pour of the lateral vertical walls and upper slab with lateral wings.
For the deck casting, the builder chosen MAXIMIX, a form work system made of wooden beams, steel beams and plywood panels that allows to cover large surfaces to be run in site and complex shapes with high capacity and limited weight. The capacity can be adapted to the requirements of the project by varying the distance of the beams. Pilosio engineers made the design of the wooden deck.
Pilosio gave on site assistance with training for assembling Maximix panels, providing dedicated shop drawings for each single module (often typical designs require an interpretation of the workers on site) and day by day assistance for the various problems during the assembly and installation of the MP towers to remedy any discrepancies detected on site with respect to the measurements made previously.

Q: Turtle Mock: MOCK_EXPECT fails if mocked class method returns a value I am a long time lurker in the board, and is needless to say that you guys are the best and I am grateful for all the times you saved my job. That is my first time post here and I hope I don't mess it up.
I am writing a C++ Boost application for Linux (Virtualized Ubuntu 16.04 amd_64) and am using Turtle Mock for the mocking framework and Boost Test for the testing framework. When I try to test a class which uses dependency injection technique, I mock the classes that need to be given to the testing class so I can verify the sequence of their invocation. S far so good, but the problem comes here.
 I am using MOCK_BASE_CLASS(MockAClass, AClass), to override the virtual methods of the real AClass, and use to new MockAClass to proceed with my tests. Let's say AClass has a virtual method int getTest(int), and MockAClass has MOCK_METHOD(getTest, 1, int(int)), after setting expectation and return value for the getTest method of MockAClass object, and invoking the method, the expectation which in most cases is MOCK_EXPECT(objMockAClass.getTest).at_least(1) is NEVER verified. I can control the return value, but the call is never verified as it happened. This only occurs if the function returns a value (for ex. if the function is void getTest(int) then the verification will pass).
I am attaching a simple PoC of my problem that will fail on my system.
class AClass
{
public:
virtual int getTest(int a) {return 0}
}

MOCK_BASE_CLASS (MockAClass, AClass)
{
MOCK_METHOD(getTest, 1, int(int));
}

BOOST_AUTО_TEST_CASE(SomeClassFunctionality)
{

MockAClass  objMockAClass;

MOCK_EXPECT(objMockAClass.getTest).returns(1);
MOCK_EXPECT(objMockAClass.getTest).at_least(1);
objMockAClass.getTest(1);

}

A: MOCK_EXPECT(objMockAClass.getTest).returns(1);
MOCK_EXPECT(objMockAClass.getTest).at_least(1);

This is actually two expectations. The first one means 'everytime getTest gets called return 1' and the second 'getTest must be called at least one time'.
The problem is that the first one will always match, therefore the second will not have a chance to be triggered.

A: Тhe problem is solved if separate EXPECT statements are combined in one whole EXPECT statement.
MOCK_EXPECT(objMockAClass.getTest).at_least(1).returns(1); - This will make the example work as planned.

When we first arrived in Oregon, we bought a used Silent Paint Stripper from a Portland blogger named Dawn. She has a really amazing craftsman that she's already stripped the paint and she sold us her now unneeded paint stripper.
Then, a couple weeks ago, we bought some painted douglas fir cabinet doors salvaged from a kitchen remodel from a nice lady on craigslist. Today, we finally found the motivation to try out our electronic paint stripper.
The process is pretty simple, but it really only works well on the flat portions.
We stripped all the flat portions that we could get to and now we're trying a chemical stripper to get the profile we can't get to.
Paint is still in the small profile grooves. We don't have a scraper small enough to fit that curve and the wire brush seemed to be tearing up the wood. Overall, I'm pleased with our first try. Now we just need to track down some better tools for our next effort.

This is a corner kiosk in the D&D building in NYC.
This local lighting company used slightly textured fabrics, along with 1/4 sawn wenge millwork to create a modern and useful display for the fixtures.
The hand routed company logo anchors the leather inset reception desk.


Both versions of this recipe provide an good balance of protein and fat and a moderate balance of carbohydrates. Serve it with a small extra side of carbs to make it balanced and stabilize your blood sugar.
Boil a pot of water and add bell pepper halves. Boil until slightly tender, about 5-7 minutes. Once tender, remove from pot and place in a casserole dish cut side up. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the garlic, chopped onion, diced red pepper and diced jalapeño with 2 tbsp of broth until tender.
Add remainder 2 tbsp of broth and ground turkey to skillet. Cook until turkey is no longer pink (add more broth if needed to prevent burning). Once meat is cooked through reduce heat to medium-low.
Add grated cauliflower, diced tomato, tomato paste, salt, pepper, dried oregano, cumin, chili powder and cilantro to skillet. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until all flavors are combined.
Divide turkey filling evenly among peppers (about 1/2 cup of filling each). Top each pepper with 2 tbsp of enchilada sauce.
*If using cheese, top each pepper with 2 tbsp of shredded cheese. Bake in oven for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
*If using avocado in place of cheese, top each pepper with 2 tbsp enchilada sauce and bake in oven for 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven and top each pepper with 1 tbsp mashed avocado. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
*For a make-ahead option, simply prepare the turkey filling ahead of time and store in the fridge. When ready to serve, boil the peppers until tender, fill with turkey filling, top with enchilada sauce (and cheese if using) and bake in oven. Remove from oven and top with cilantro (and avocado if using instead of cheese).
This looks delicious! Can't wait to make it tonight 🙂 Thanks for the recipe, Kristen!

Q: Get the last scroll from a FlatList and redirect I'm creating an Onboarding screen. I don't want to add buttons to this onboarding screen, the only way to go to the next page is by swiping. Although I need to have a way to get when the user is at the last screen, and when he swipes right, I will be redirecting him to the login screen.
This is the last screen on the app:

When the user swipes right from this screen, I want to make a redirect, like a function or a onPress.
This is the onboarding code:
import React, { useState, useRef } from 'react';
import {
    Container,
    FlatListContainer
} from './styles';
import {
    FlatList,
    Animated,
    TouchableOpacity
} from 'react-native'
import OnboardingData from '../../utils/onboarding';
import { OnboardingItem } from '../../components/OnboardingItem';
import { Paginator } from '../../components/Paginator';

export function Onboarding(){

    const [currentIndex, setCurrentIndex] = useState(0);
    const scrollX = useRef(new Animated.Value(0)).current;
    const scrollY = useRef(new Animated.Value(0)).current;
    const onboardingDataRef = useRef(null);

    const viewableItemsChanged = useRef(({ viewableItems }: any) => {
        setCurrentIndex(viewableItems[0].index);
    }).current;

    const viewConfig = useRef({ viewAreaCoveragePercentThreshold: 50 }).current;

    return (
        <Container>
            <FlatListContainer>
                <FlatList
                    data={OnboardingData}
                    renderItem={({ item }) => <OnboardingItem image={item.image} title={item.title} description={item.description}/>}
                    horizontal
                    showsHorizontalScrollIndicator={false}
                    pagingEnabled={true}
                    bounces={false}
                    keyExtractor={(item) => String(item.id)}
                    onScroll={Animated.event([{ nativeEvent: { contentOffset: { x: scrollX } }}], {
                        useNativeDriver: false
                    })}
                    scrollEventThrottle={32}
                    onViewableItemsChanged={viewableItemsChanged}
                    viewabilityConfig={viewConfig}
                    ref={onboardingDataRef}
                />
            </FlatListContainer>

            <Paginator data={OnboardingData} scrollX={scrollX} scrollY={scrollY} currentIndex={currentIndex}/>
        </Container>
    );
}

A: I thought about it, and the old method wouldnt work, as there isnt a viewableItem beyond the final page.
You could use the FlatList onScroll function to listen for swipes. When at the final page and a scroll event occurs, verify that it wasnt an attempt to go to the previous page and then navigate. e.g.

// store previous scroll values
const prevScroll = useRef({});

// scrollX, scrollY already contains the data
useEffect(()=>{
  let isLastIndex = currentIndex == onBoardingData.length  - 1;
  let isScrollingToNextPage =  scrollX > prevScroll.current.x
  if( isLastIndex && isScrollingToNextPage ){
      props.navigation.navigate("Login");
      return
    }
  // store offsets
  prevScroll.current = { x:scrollX, y:scrollY}
},[scrollX, scrollY])

If you would like for the old method to work you could just add an additional page (could be an empty view or a view with a small message)
--------OLD--------
Im assuming that OnBordingData is an array since you're passing it to the Flatlist data prop. If so, then couldnt you add a conditional to your viewableItemsChanged so that it goes to the login screen when at index > OnBoardingData.length - 1? e.g
const viewableItemsChanged = useRef(({ viewableItems }: any) => {
        const index = viewableItems[0].index;
        if(index >= OnBoardinData.length -1){
          // be sure to add props as a parameter to OnBoarding function
          props.navigation.navigate("Login");
          return
        }
        setCurrentIndex(index);
    }).current;

American joins Vietnamese volunteers to clean up trash on Kitchen Gods' Day

A young American man joined Vietnamese volunteers in cleaning up litter under a bridge in Hanoi on the traditional Kitchen Gods' Day on Thursday.
While many were busy preparing for the rite and performing traditional rituals to mark the Kitchen Gods' heavenward journey, a group of young volunteers were doing their best to keep certain traditions from affecting the local environment.
In Vietnamese culture, the Kitchen Gods are characters regarded as part of the family and meant to serve as a link between heaven and earth.
According to the legend, the gods ride common carp to heaven on the 23rd day of the twelfth Vietnamese lunar month, several days before the Lunar New Year, in order to report the family's good and bad deeds during the year to the heavenly emperor.
To celebrate the day, families often clean the gods' altar and offer flowers, fruits, and various delicacies.
Others go to a lake or river to release live carp and throw ashes into the water.
However, such traditional practices can be harmful to the environment as many people also throw the plastic bags used to hold the fish or ashes into the water.
Scott Matt pours ashes into the river, a traditional Vietnamese practice on the Kitchen Gods' Day.
The volunteer group, known as Ca Chep (Carp), has spent the last five Kitchen Gods' Days picking up trash.
This year, the team was joined by Scott Matt, a 24-year-old American street artist.
Matt did not expect to join the group but saw it as a chance to help the local environment.
A member of the Ca Chep (Carp) volunteer group holds a sign saying "Release carp, not plastic bags" on Long Bien Bridge.
"I thought it was a good opportunity to prevent a lot of trash from entering the water before it became dangerous pollution," Matt said.
Matt and the Vietnamese group collected plastic bags under the Long Bien Bridge, which crosses over the Red River.
They also assisted local residents with performing the traditional rituals in eco-friendly ways.
The volunteers provide a bucket to help locals release their carp into the river.

Young people often have energy to expend, and without the right kind of guidance, things can go awry pretty quickly. George Williams knew this, which is why he founded the Young Men's Christian Association, also known as YMCA in short or the Y. He did so in London 173 years ago, and today, this worldwide organization is based in Geneva, Switzerland, boasting over 57 million beneficiaries with 125 national associations. The whole idea behind the YMCA is to entrench Christian principles into practice through the development of a healthy "body, mind, and spirit." All of these three angles are seen in the red triangle that makes up the YMCA logo. I clearly remember reading an anecdote about the YMCA when I was a wee lad, touting how the game of basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in 1891 while he was working at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Since the YMCA was incorporated on 6 June, 1844, it experienced a rapid expansion, ending up as a worldwide that continue to stress on the principles of Muscular Christianity. Many local YMCAs have also seen a degree of localization implemented, as different cultures need to be approached differently. A vast number of YMCAs do get involved in a range of charitable activities, from offering athletic facilities to hosting classes throughout the week. These classes can be language classes to pick up a new language, or perhaps a living skill that would come in handy. Depending on the country in which the YMCA is based in, it can be a mission base to proselytize Christianity, but of course such activities tend to be strictly forbidden in Muslim-majority countries for security reasons, limiting the scope of the YMCA to just humanitarian work. A whole lot of it depends on the leadership, since national or local organizations have varying levels of emphasis when it comes to its religious mission.
The various local YMCAs tend to be voluntarily affiliated via their national organizations, while the national organizations would make up an Area Alliance and the World Alliance of YMCAs. The World Alliance's main motto happens to be "empowering young people", and depending on your worldview, there are many different ways of doing so.
Do check with your local YMCA to see whether there are any celebrations in place that is happening today to commemorate the 173rd anniversary of the organization. We do know that YMCAs across England and Wales did come together for the YMCA World Challenge that was held last Saturday on 3 June, 2017, as part of the run up to the global organization's 173rd anniversary. You can be sure that basketball would be a huge feature worldwide for many local chapters of the YMCA, as the sport celebrates its 126th anniversary this year.
How has your experience been with the local YMCA chapter so far? Have you had fond memories of the YMCA, or has the YMCA's activities over the years help to shape the way you lived your life? Do share with us in the comments, as it is always a joy to read about how the lives of others are touched by a simple act of kindness that often goes unnoticed.
Many YMCAs today have also been redeveloped, being far more than just a community center where people come together to enjoy life, live, and learn together. In fact, YMCAs are also often strategically located in city centers and with some converting part of their buildings to hostels, it is also a popular place for tourists to find cheap, clean and safe accommodation for the night.

Q: Laravel not making Guzzle HTTP POST request correctly I am working on a megento integration and trying to get the admin access token by making a post request with form data. I tested the route out on Postman and it worked correctly:

However, when I tried to implement the same request in Laravel with Guzzle Http Client, it seem just cannot make the request properly as if the form data post body is not being recognized, and it keeps showing me errors saying the field values are required. Here is my request:
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->post($request['magento_domain'] . '/rest/V1/integration/admin/token', [
    'form_params' => [
        'username' => $magento_admin_username,
        'password' => $magento_admin_password
    ], [
        'Accept' => 'application/json',
        'Content-Type' => 'application/json'
    ]
]);

and then this is the error I keep getting:

Update: I had also tried the request like this, it throws the same error:
$response = $client->post($request['magento_domain'] . '/rest/V1/integration/admin/token', [
    'form_params' => [
        'username' => $magento_admin_username,
        'password' => $magento_admin_password
    ]
]);

I would appreciate any help!

A: The "Content-Type: application/json" request header is incorrect when sending a form-data body.
Just remove it, Guzzle automatically adds the correct Content-Type when using "form_params". Just JSON is wrong because the body is obviously not JSON.
I am using a JSON request in production successfully:
$res = $this->client->request('POST', 'https://.../rest/V1/integration/admin/token', [
  'headers' => [
    'Accept' => 'application/json',
    'content-type' => 'application/json'
  ],
  'json' => [
    'username' => config('app.shopUser'),
    'password' => config('app.shopPw')
  ]
]);

Or try using "multipart" instead of "form_params" - this should send a multipart/form-data request which is what Postman means with "form-data".
"form_params" is equivalent to "x-www-form-urlencoded".
