In this post, the second in a 3-part series, I reveal the techniques and mindset that you will need to effectively read people. I tried to be as succinct as possible without losing any important details, but because of its length feel free to bookmark this page and read it in sections.
Reading people is as much a science as it is an art.
The science deals with an understanding of the mechanics and principles involved in people reading; For example, you study all the cold, hard facts about what a specific mannerism could mean, what a certain tone of voice might suggest, or how the context of a persons environment may influence their behavior. However, knowledge of the basic principles is only half of the equation.
Once the principles are understood, open up the right brain – that part of yourself that does not think in terms of linear thought, words, or mathematics, but instead with patterns, colors and abstracts. This is the art.
Those who are successful at combining the two become amazing people readers.
There is no replacement for practice. You could read all the books out there on body language, vocal interpretation, lie detection, etc. and still not be a great reader of people. I can give you the tools, but you must come up with the passion to put them to work. I am confident though, that as you practice these techniques and adopt the mindset, that the passion will naturally develop and many of these things will become instinctual. So let's begin!
All areas of people reading rely on your ability to put these principles into practice. You begin by establishing a general baseline. From that baseline you look for specific patterns and consistencies whereupon you make your assumptions. Then comes the cyclical aspect of constantly challenging and refining those assumptions by observing new patterns and using the art of questioning. Then, backed by experience and intuition, you make a decision.
Establishing the baseline is the first step. When you're starting to read someone, begin by studying their behavior. Ask yourself if how they are acting at this moment reflects their typical way of being. If a person is in a comfortable, familiar environment and surrounded by those who know them intimately, it's a safe bet that they are in a baseline state. This will become your standard from which you will make your assumptions.
If you're in a situation where it doesn't offer this opportunity, then you need to wait it out. Time will help you notice what the person's average behavior is.
This is best practiced with someone that you know. Pick someone, like a coworker at your office. For the next week study them. I carry what I call an 'observation journal' with me. Try to figure out what their baseline is. Any deviation from the norm is something you should record and be aware of. Because we all have our good and bad days, with time you'll begin to see how they normally act.
Because our minds can only consciously process a limited amount of data at one time (some say only about 5-9 bits), it becomes very selective in what it brings to our attention. I had a friend growing up that loved playing the 'Punch-Buggy' game whenever we went for a drive. He always saw the little VW Bugs and hit me long before I could. Somehow he had trained his mind to bring Volkswagen Beetles immediately to the forefront of his consciousness – he'd see them everywhere. Reading people is no different. With all the distractions coming in, professional people readers filter out the inessential and bring to the forefront the indispensable.
Well, what should I be looking for then, you may ask? Patterns. Trends. A theme. As you begin analyzing people, look for 'clusters' – groups of related signals – that coincide with a specific behavior or state of mind. Single traits by themselves, rarely tell the whole story of what a person is all about. It's not until you broaden your view to include the whole picture, will you begin to correctly analyze someone. I cannot stress this enough. If success with this is your goal, then it is so important that you learn to see in patterns. When you discover these consistencies, it is a safe bet that you are onto something that will reveal the person to you.
Patterns begin with the first impression and continue onward. As you combine the first impression with specific tells, behavior, vocal attributes, and their environment, you are well on your way to reading them correctly.
Malcolm Gladwell wrote a fantastic book called Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking . In it he observed our ability to make snap judgments about a person in the blink of an eye.
Snap judgments are, first of all, enormously quick: they rely on the thinnest slices of experience…they are also unconscious. We thin-slice because we have to, and we come to rely on that ability because there are lots of hidden fists out there, lots of situations where careful attention to the details of a very thin slice, even for no more than a second or two, can tell us an awful lot.
However Malcolm explains that in many cases, these 'thin-slices' of experience from which we draw our conclusions are many times incorrect. What I'm asking for you to do is to control the 'blink' response and retrain your brain, consciously at first, to look for meaning behind the impression. Through experience, this blink response will become very accurate.
When you begin sizing them up, don't overlook anything. This is where you notice the small details about the person: their hair, their walk, their fingernails, their body language, the clothes they wear. Always ask yourself, "what is this telling me?".
For example, hair can tell a lot about a person. In women, short stylish hair could denote someone who is creative, artistic, or expressive. Because maintaining perfectly styled hair is expensive, it may signify wealth. If that isn't the case, then their willingness to spend a lot of their money to maintain their coif might show vanity, or a need for acceptance, even insecurity.
Less styled short hair on the other hand could mean practicality.
For men, professionally styled hair usually goes hand in hand with the desire to show status and power. If combined with expensive clothing and accessories, this is usually a sure bet. Most men do not have the time or desire to regularly have their hair styled at a professional salon. Because it deviates from the norm, this is a good example of something to look out for.
Every detail of a person's appearance can offer further clues into their interests, beliefs, emotions and values. Since there are too many details to list here, I'll share with you some of the things you should be looking out for, as well as questions you should ask.
As I have explained earlier, any trait that stands out from the baseline, needs to be noted. Note that a deviation from the baseline is not only things that stand out on the individual, but how that person stands out as a whole compared to what the norm is around them. With extremes in appearance you might ask yourself: are they seeking attention? trying to imitate someone they look up to? being rebellious? are they self-centered and are insensitive to others? have they just not been taught how to dress and act in an appropriate way? or do they just lack common sense?
Be aware of things like physical characteristics, jewelery, makeup, clothing, accessories, hygiene, and piercings/tattoos etc. Again ask yourself, "what is this telling me?".
Since the publication of Julius Fast's Body Language in 1970, hordes of people began to see crossed legs, folded arms, facial tics – specific behavioral traits – in a whole new light. Even in our time, a generation later, many people are still conscious about crossing their arms in a meeting so as not to appear 'closed'.
Body language, like appearance, can only be correctly analyzed when viewed against the first two principles of reading people: finding the baseline and recognizing patterns. Thinking that you'll be able to 'make' someone, off of one or two bodily quirks, is not realistic. You want to look for consistency. Body language is only effective as you begin to observe more of the person's character, and to know their character you must recognize patterns, not just in their body language, but in everything that has to do with them.
A good determinate of a person's core personality is how they act when they don't have to 'act'. Take the workplace for example. Is he polite and charming to his subordinates when the boss is around, only to show his true colors when she leaves? Seeing how a person behaves in different situations will help you to further understand what they are all about.
Study their interaction with different people, such as with children, co-workers, normal day-to-day people, their family and friends. This will tell you a lot about them.
The saying, "You can tell how a man will treat you by the way he treats his mother", although not always the case, does have a measure of truth to it. Many of us have been on dates where they are wonderfully polite and charming with you, only underhandedly being rude to or badmouthing the people serving you. Watch for veiled acts of inconsistency. Their charming, delightful personality may not be so charming and delightful as the novelty of the relationship wears off.
People behave a certain way based on their wants, needs, or values. We tend to project these values and wants on others because it is a source of validation. Athletes value those with strength and stamina. Artists value the creativity in others. If your way of showing love is buying others gifts, then I would bet when people buy you gifts you feel loved too. What someone consistently does for others or seeks out in them can be a big help in determining what they desire or value.
Realize that sometimes, because of fear, anger, or duress a person will act out of character. Lest I keep repeating myself, remember the principles of baseline and recognizing patterns. Are you sensing a pattern yet?
Vocal attributes play an important role in determining what someone is really saying. These traits in many cases contain hidden messages that require you to pay attention.
Someone with a loud voice may indicate a need to control their environment. Like a drill seargent, they use their voice to intimidate and dominate. Sometimes it can be for reasons of trying to compensate for something they think they're lacking. I know this really short guy at work who speaks louder and deeper than I've seen with guys almost twice his size. This combined with his need to talk over you shows his insecurities. Realize that a loud voice could also mean a loss of hearing or that they're inebriated. Remember to take everything into consideration.
A soft voice also could have different meanings. Don't immediately dismiss the person as someone who lacks confidence. It may mean they're tired or depressed. It may show that they have a calm-assurance about them. It may also show their arrogance in the sense that they feel you need to listen more if you want to know what they're saying.
Think about all the possible reasons for rapid or slow speech, mumbling, different intonations and emphasis, an unemotional, pretentious or whining tone of voice. Each of these may reveal something deeper than what was first expected.
Look for the matching of one's vocal attributes, with their body language and words.
Beyond vocal attributes, understanding verbal gymnastics is the other half of what people are communicating in their speech patterns. For example, always question why someone is leading you towards or away from a topic of conversation. Are they showing conceit by trying to find an opportunity to brag? Are they showing compassion through their leading away from gossiping about someone?
The way someone answers can also be used to control or direct a conversation. Try to interpret why they could be rambling, changing the subject, giving a long drawn-out or a short answer, or not simply not responding at all.
As always, question deviations from the norm. Someone who rarely uses profanity might, with specific people, use it frequently. This could indicate they're seeking acceptance, or trying to present themselves as someone they're not.
One of the best sources of people reading is the person's environment. So many clues can be discovered here, such as hints about their job, education, religion, culture, hobbies, marital and family status, political alignment, friends, and wealth. You'd be surprised at what someone can learn about you, just from them reading your environment, that it can be quite embarrassing.
Because most of our time is spent at home or at work, these areas provide an accurate source of reading into peoples lives. If you can get exposed to both of these areas, and compare the two, very precise conclusions can be made about them. For example, noticing a discrepancy between their work and home environment, shows that their public image is quite different from their private one.
Reading the workplace environment starts with the geographical location of someone's home in relation to their work. A father who moves his family downtown to be close to work could indicate that he's a workaholic, is self-centered, or ambitious. However the close proximity might also show that the parents are interested in providing their children easy exposure to cultural opportunities or that the shorter commute means more time with his family. It is through studying both the home and workplace that a more telling story will develop.
Now begin to study the job itself. Why do you think they've chosen it? What does it tell about the person? Their education or drive? The fact that they're a medical doctor may show a desire to help others, indicating someone who's compassionate. However, they might only be interested in the status of such a job. I even know someone who became a doctor because of pressure from their father, this tells a whole other story.
Plants Do they keep fresh flowers or plants? This indicates a person who loves nature or is sensitive to beauty. It may also show that they're health conscious.
Calendars These are good indicators of hobbies, interests, or sense of humor.
Books and Reading Material Having novels or magazines not connected to the job do show personal interests, but beyond that, it also can show that their mind is not on the job. Leaving them lying on the desk can where the boss will surely notice, may show a lack of judgment.
Desktop Items What a person keeps in their immediate view also provides answers. Having multiple pictures of his children in different stages of their lives shows his love for family. However, if there's not one of his wife, it may indicate a divorce, a strained relationship, or that he's are embarrassed about her looks.
Because the home is where the heart is, a person's living area reveals volumes about them. As with the workplace, consider the location, the neighborhood, and the items within and without. What are they telling you? Some important items to consider are books and reading material, items on the refrigerator, collections, photos, artwork, children's toys. Take note of the layout and decorations of the home.
Someone who wears very expensive clothes, but has a very humble home, may reveal a desire to appear differently to others. Look for things where a person's home is in contrast to their public persona. The bigger the gap the greater the desire to appear a certain way.
Like the home and workplace, a persons car will reveal a lot about them. But as always, take it in comparison to everything else. Like clothes, having an expensive well-maintained automobile may at first indicate wealth, but taken in context with a run-down home may again show a desire to maintain a certain public image.
A messy, disorganized car usually indicates a messy, disorganized person. I also tend to notice the little sticker that oil-change shops put on the upper left corner of the windshield. Seeing the actual car's mileage being much greater than the mileage indicated by the sticker may show a lack of awareness, complacency, or laziness.
Where do they spend their free time and who with? Where a person tends to regularly 'hang out' as well as the company one keeps will tell you more details of their personality and interests.
A persons socioeconomic environment and background is a major key to determining one's behavior. Remember to be aware of your prejudice. As I spoke of in the last post, prejudice may taint your ability to read someone successfully. As with everything else, the socioeconomic environment needs to be considered within the context of everything else.
Through the process of recognizing patterns and refining your assumptions, there comes a time where you need to delve deeper. If you are setting up a date with someone, at a job interview, or just trying to get to know the person better, learning the art of questioning is very handy.
The types of questions that should be asked are those which help confirm or contradict the assumptions that you've made throughout this process. Don't make it sound like an interrogation (that will be covered in the next post – How to Detect Lies ). Do however, make it a natural part of the conversation. Remember to 'seek first to understand, then to be understood'.
After all the cards are laid on the table, and you have established the baseline, recognized patterns, and challenged and refined your assumptions through questioning, then and only then should you make a final decision. It's the combination of many details pointing in the same direction that will remind you that you're on track. Being that reading people is a science and an art, use the facts that have presented themselves and couple it with your intuition. If you do this, you will rarely be wrong about someone.
If you've come this far, good job at staying with me! Remember that I've just provided you with the tools, you need to come up with the passion. Practice will create this passion.
In the next and final post on How to Read People, I will teach you how to detect lies.

University of Nebraska-Omaha puts end to North Dakota State men's basketball's home win streak

By Tom Mix / Forum News Service
FARGO - North Dakota State's home winning streak in men's basketball that has stretched over three seasons is over.
The streak was snapped by the University of Nebraska-Omaha, who edged the Bison 91-82 in a Summit League contest Thursday night at Scheels Arena.
NDSU entered the game having won its previous 31 games in Fargo at the Bison Sports Arena and Scheels Arena - the team's temporary home until its new arena opens next season.
"They came in here and took it to us from start to finish," NDSU head coach David Richman said. "They have a talented, experienced group, and it really showed (Thursday)."
The Mavericks grabbed control early and led by as many as 20 points in the first half.
Four players for Omaha finished in double figures. Leading the way was reigning Summit League player of the week senior Devin Patterson, who scored a game-high 32 points. Patterson supplied 19 of his 32 in the second half. NDSU spent the final 20 minutes trying to cut Omaha's sizeable lead down to double digits -- a feat it was unable to do until the final minute.
"They came out with a lot of energy and hit some tough shots right away," said NDSU sophomore guard Paul Miller, who finished with a team-high 24 points. "I think it came down to us not being disciplined enough. On the offensive end, we were turning it over and taking bad shots."
Anytime NDSU started gaining any sort of momentum, Omaha seemed to have an answer.
Miller hit a 3-pointer with 7 minutes, 18 second left to cut the Maverick's lead to 78-65. The Bison couldn't get another run going in large part to Omaha's knack for hitting timely shots.
The Mavericks were 29 of 60 (48.3 percent) from the field.
"I thought we answered probably three different times on the offensive end that were very important," Omaha head coach Derrin Hansen said. "We were efficient inside the 3-point line. We scored 91 on a team that normally gives up mid to high 60s and we only had two 3s. Our team took a step (Thursday) because this is a hard place to play."
Omaha is now 11-6 overall and 3-0 in the Summit League - its best start since joining the league in 2012. This is the first year the Mavericks are eligible for postseason play.
NDSU's last loss at home came Nov. 18, 2013, to Southern Mississippi.
The Bison are now 11-5 and 1-1 in Summit play.
Thursday also marked NDSU's first Division I loss against the Mavericks. The Bison had won the previous seven matchups.
"It is an incredible streak, and I congratulated the guys about being part of history," Richman said. "It is 31 straight games over the course of three years in two different buildings. It is a credit to not only this group, but prior groups as well. They have a choice now. They can be a group that starts a new streak."

Texas Compassionate Use Act
Home Texas Compassionate Use Act
Compassionate Use Program
The Texas Compassionate Use Act was first enacted as Senate Bill 339 by the Texas Legislature in 2015. During the 2019 Legislative Session, House Bill 3703 updated the Texas Compassionate Use Act to allow any board certified specialist to prescribe low-THC cannabis to patients who have been diagnosed with epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, autism, ALS, terminal cancer, spasticity, and neurodegenerative disease.
Important Sections What it Means for You
Any Board-Certified Specialist can prescribe.
Originally, to receive treatment, two qualified neurologists had to agree that you meet the requirements. Under the new law, a single physician who is board certified in a medical specialty relevant to the treatment of the patient's medical condition can prescribe treatment.
Our Patient Access Partner
SnapMedicinal makes it easy for you to connect with a registered board-certified physician. SnapMedicinal facilitates your consult all from the convenience of your computer or smart device. There is no need to seek out a qualified specialist, coordinate appointments or travel to their offices.
Ongoing followups are required.
In order to receive ongoing treatment, if you are being treated by a physician, you must meet monthly with the physician who approved your treatment.
SnapMedicinal facilitates your ongoing treatment by connecting you to your physician when followup appointments are required.
Recommendations must be submitted electronically.
In order to receive treatment, the physician will enter the prescription in the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas system. Once prescribed, the dispensing organizations search the patient in the system and dispense the medication.
SnapMedicinal connects the physician with the dispensary in a compliant and secure way online.
1. Which medical conditions are approved for low-THC cannabis?
The Texas Compassionate Use Act allows the use of low-THC cannabis for epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, spasticity, autism, ALS, terminal cancer, and neurodegenerative disease.
2. How does a patient qualify for the program?
A patient may be recommended low-THC cannabis if:
a. A patient is a permanent resident of the state
b. A patient is diagnosed with one of the qualifying conditions
c. The qualified physician determines the risk of the medical use of low-THC cannabis by a patient is reasonable in light of the potential benefit for the patient
3. Will patients have to register with the state or pay a fee?
No. Statute does not require patients to register or pay a fee. Patient information will be retained in the Compassionate Use Registry. A qualified physician will enter a patient's name, date of birth, low-THC dosage recommended and means of administration into the Compassionate Use Registry.
4. Will patients under 18 be able participate?
Yes. Statute places no limitations on the age of the patient.
5. Will I be able to bring my child from out-of-state to acquire low-THC cannabis in Texas?
Patients must be permanent Texas residents.
6. Will patients be able to grow their own cannabis?
No. Only licensed dispensers will be able grow cannabis and only for use in the production of low-THC cannabis. Patients are required to purchase low-THC cannabis products from a licensed dispensing organization.
7. How much will low-THC cannabis cost?
Prices will be set by the licensed dispensing organizations, based on the market. DPS does not regulate the cost of the product.
8. Is CBD covered by insurance?
9. What are average CBD costs per month per patient?
It varies by person depending on their weight and the severity of their condition. This information is subject to change, but early indications are that the majority of patients are going to pay between $180 and $240 per month at full cost. Patients with more severe cases will pay more.

Q: user authentication in a react native app I'm building a react native app in which users can login. After a user logs in, the server returns a auth token (jwt) which is stored on the device. This all works.
Now, the problem is with authenticating the user whenever something 'happens'.
After the user logs in and the token is stored, he is send to the screen 'Main'. On that screen (and all the other 'secured' screens), I want to check the auth token. I currently have the following function to do this (simplified):
// get the auth token out of the redux store
const authToken = useSelector(state => state.auth.authToken)

// the function to authenticate a user
const authenticateUser = () => {
    try {
        fetch('http://URL_TO_SERVER/auth/authenticate-user', {
            method: 'post',
            headers: {
                'Accept': 'application/json',
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + authToken
            }
        })
        .then(response => response.json())
        .then(responseJSON => {
            if (responseJSON.response === 'OK') {
                // user is authenticated
            } else {
                // user is NOT authenticated
            }
        })
}

// only run the function once
useEffect(() => {
    authenticateUser()
}, [])

This works, but there is a 'lag' (because fetch returns a promise). When I open the app and go to I screen whilst I'm not logged in, the screen is shown for just a second, and after that, I'm redirected to the login screen. So it works, but I'm not sure that this is the correct way to do so.
I could add a 'layer' to each screen and show a loading modal untill the authenticateUser-function has ran, but I don't think that's the correct way to do so.
My question is: what is the best way to secure screens in a react native app? Is the way I'm doing it OK, or should I switch to another method?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I have checked the following articles before asking this question.

*

*Authentication with React Native and API backend

*https://scotch.io/tutorials/react-native-app-with-authentication-and-user-management-in-15-minutes

A: You need to come up with better logic for your auth checks. Usually there is no need to check token every time you open a new screen. Even in your example, you log in and then get sent to a Main screen only to check auth token you've just received. Likewise, should user even see "go to main screen" button when user is clearly not logged in? Do you really want to check for token every time new screen opens in the app? What happens if token is valid by the time you open the screen, but, as the time passes and user stays on the same screen, token becomes invalid?
Try this:

*

*create a part of redux store (e.g. reducer) that will handle current authentication state. Simple "isAuthenticated" flag will do for start

*you can access this flag from any screen that is connected to redux

*when receiving JWT you can read it's expiration date. So, if you refreshed the token 5 minutes ago and it's not going to expire for the next 2 hours, there is no need to check if token is valid, because you can just assume that by comparing expiration date with current date any time you want

*use "isAuthenticated" flag to determine whether or not to show the "go to Main screen" button, so that logged out users will not even see that button

*if you need even more control, hook into navigation to check where user is trying to navigate to and allow/deny that by checking against "isAuthenticated" flag in redux store. Take a look here and here

*create a service to keep track on token expiration dates and refresh tokens ahead of time if needed, or periodically check if current token is valid, and set "isAuthenticated" to false if it isn't. Create wrappers around your network functions (fetch in your example) and notify this service if status 401 is received in response to any request to the server so that the service can either refresh the token and repeat request, or let user know that he was logged out

A: See what i believe is the best way toachieve it is by adding a splashscreen to the app, and there you can divert logic if the token exists you can redirect to Homescreen or loginScreen.
like this :
in Splashscreen.js
componentDidMount(){

AsyncStorage.getItem('token') ? navigation.navigate('Home'):navigation.navigate('Login')
}

hope it helps.feel free for doubts

Former Teacher Charged For Child Porn Detained In Nicaragua
Published April 22, 2013 at 3:10 PM PDT
Nicaraguan authorities say they have detained Eric Justin Toth, a former teacher at a Washington, D.C., private school accused of producing child pornography.
Back in April 2012, Toth took Osama bin Laden's place on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.
The Washington Post reports Toth has been on the run for almost five years, since the "Washington National Cathedral's exclusive Beauvoir elementary school found explicit photos of a student on a camera assigned to him, authorities said."
The Post adds:
"Toth was taken into custody Saturday night in Nicaragua, but as of Monday afternoon he had not been extradited to the United States, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because Toth was not yet in the United States.
"The FBI declined to comment.
"Police have been looking for Toth since June 2008, when Beauvoir officials found the explicit photos, confronted him,and then had him escorted to the end of the cathedral driveway.
"They called police that day, but Toth was already gone."
The BBC reports that Toth, 31, was indicted on federal charges in 2008.
When Toth was placed on the FBI's Top Most Wanted list, he became the 465th fugitive to be added to the list, which dates back to 1950. The FBI has a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

Johannes Frank wuchs in einer Lehrerfamilie bei Wittlich im Eifel-Mosel-Raum auf. Nach dem Abitur trat er in den Orden der Steyler Missionare ein und wurde 1927 im Missionshaus St. Gabriel bei Wien zum Priester geweiht. Er unterrichtete an der Missionsschule St. Adalbert in Mehlsack (Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren). Bei Schließung der Schule durch die Nationalsozialisten 1941 wich Pater Frank in Schulen nach Neisse und Leobschütz aus, kehrte aber, nachdem diese ebenfalls geschlossen wurden, ins Ermland zurück und wurde unter Bischof Maximilian Kaller Pfarrer von Arys, 1942 von Flammberg. Dort flüchtete er am 19. Januar 1945 mit den letzten Bewohnern, kam krank im Pfarrhaus von Passenheim an, landete am 28. Februar in Bischofsburg und wurde zusammen mit dem Pfarrer von Passenheim, Karl Heinrich, von den Russen verschleppt. Das weitere Schicksal ist nicht bekannt.

Gedenken

A Simple Tension Test Assignment Help
Assignment Help: >> Theory of Machines - A Simple Tension Test
A Simple Tension Test
A tension test is a destructive test in the mean such the specimen is at last fractured or broken into pieces. For presenting a tension test one needs a machine able of applying load is to reason fracture. The testing machine will have proper holders or devices to hold the specimen hence a perfectly axial load is applied upon the test piece. The machine has to have device to measure the load at any facility and immediate for measurement of elongation of the test piece.
The specimen or test piece of the material is usually a straight piece; over the test length is uniform in the cross-section and often along with enlarged ends that can be held in the machine holders. However, Machines can hold specimen without particularly made or enlarged ends. Two fine marks are frequently made near the ends of uniform test section of the specimen or test piece and distance among the two points is termed "gauge length". The gauge length of a specimen or test piece bears a constant standardized ratio to the cross-sectional dimension for causes such will be discussed later.
The specimen or test piece is placed in the machine between the holders and any type of measuring device to record change in length is fitted onto the specimen or test piece among the gauge points. If that a device, often termed as "extensometer" is unfitted, the machine itself can record the distance among its cross-heads on that the specimen or test piece is held.
One time the machine is started this begins to apply a gradually increasing load on the specimen or test piece. At present intervals elongation of specimen and the reading of load are recorded. The raises in extension can be seemed from the specimen and like the extension begins to raises can be observed from the specimen and like the extension begins to increase at a faster rate or it can be judged from experience such extensometers if attached to specimen or test piece may be removed. Along with further raise in the load the extension raises at increased rate and record of extension might be acquired from displacement among the cross-heads. At several levels the load becomes stationary and the specimen or test piece either fails or begins to decrease in cross-section rapidly. The latter phenomenon is termed as necking and is followed by decreased in load accompanied via further extension till the specimen or test piece fractures into two pieces.
Figure: The Schematic Diagram of a Test Machine
The conclusions of tension test can be completely represented in form of a stress-strain diagram whether stress is strain as abscissa and plotted as ordinate. However, this may, be emphasized now that in the definition of stress; this is supposed that area of cross-section will not modify. It should have become clear through this time that throughout a tension test area of cross-section and length both modify considerably. Thus, there is a requirement to reconsider the definition of stress.
The stress is explained as ratio of load to original area of cross-section as denoted by A0. This will be explained as engineering stress. The prefix "engineering" is frequently dropped and whenever term stress is employed, this is understood that this is engineering stress. The ratio of load to definite or current area of cross-section is explained as true stress. The same, the ratio in the similar manner the true strain is the total of strains over minute ranges of load equal to the current load.
Engineering stress (σ) and strain (ε) will be:
σ = P/A0......................Eq(1)
ε = δL/L0......................Eq(2)
Here, P is load at any moment. A0 the original area of cross-section, δL, modify in length while load changed from zero to P and L0 is the original length.
Following diagrams show typical stress-strain figures for usual engineering materials. Figures for ductile materials are depicted in following figure, whilst Figure represents the same for brittle materials. These two sets have the similar strain scale and this can be represents that a ductile material represents considerable deformation before it fails whilst a brittle material represents little deformation. To differentiate between these two categories of material, materials along with strain less than 5 percent at fracture are considered as brittle and those having strains greater than 5 percent at fracture are named as ductile.
(a) Type A (b) Type B
Figure: Stress-strain Diagram for Ductile Materials
The type A ductile materials in above figure (a)) comprise steels, copper alloys, aluminum alloys etc., whilst type B ductile materials are structural steel and mild steels. Distinguish among type A and type B ductile materials should be noted carefully. In both conditions the stress and strain be different linearly upto strain a. This area of deformation is elastic in the sense as if load is removed at any of point before reaching point a, the specimen or test piece will regain its original length and region of cross-section. Outside point a, ductile material of type A changes the connection that is more linear. Throughout this deformation, the strain modifies at a faster rate than stress, though this rate tends to reduces. Type B of ductile material represents distinctly distinguishes between behaviour than that represented in following figure (a). From a slightly higher point b in following figure (b), the stress drops unexpectedly to point c, keeps approximately constant over a range, then follows a pattern the same to that of type A.
Figure: Stress-strain Diagram for Brittle Materials
The unexpected drop in stress from b to c, raise in strain from c to c′ whilst stress keeps approximately constant is termed as "yielding". The point b from that the stress drops to point c, is termed as "upper yield point" whilst point c is termed as "lower yield point".
The deformation at approximately continuous stress is known as yield deformation.
One time a ductile material has gone beyond the elastic deformation it enters into plastic deformation range. The stress reaches maximum value at d, throughout this deformation, where necking in the specimen or test piece begins.
The stress at point d or the engineering stress is known as "Ultimate Tensile Strength" which is a very significant property. If loading is continuous, the specimen fails finally at e and stress decreased from point d to e. the stress at point e is termed as "fracture stress".
The deformation among point d and e in above previous figure is plastic is mean that if the specimen is unloaded at any point in between d and e the specimen will not recover its original size. In following figure shows the range of plastic and elastic deformations. The unloading of a specimen or test piece from any point f between a and d is specified in following figure. Unloading obeys a curve such is somewhat parallel to original elastic line. While specimen is completely unloaded to point g, several strains still keeps in it. It residual strain is the plastic component of strain by δp, a part of strain among f and g has been recovered and it is elastic part of strain at point f and indicated by εe. Hence, strain at point f,
εf = εfp + εfe..................................Eq(1)
Upon reloading the specimen or test piece from point g, curve obeys a path extremely close to unloading curve and eventually joints the innovative curve at h. The region between unloading and loading curve as shown hatched in above figure shows the loss of energy because of unloading-cycle and is called as "hysteresis".
Type B brittle materials as demonstrated in previous figure of Stress-strain Diagram for Brittle Materials (b) do not represent linear relationship between strain and stress. Concrete is the illustration. The maximum stress sustained via such material is explained as final tensile strength. Type A brittle materials, similar to cast iron, will have also ultimate tensile strength and they represent linear relationship between ε and σ.

4,000 to Benefit Under CA$6.4 Million Agricultural Project
Some 4,000 men and women working in farming and produce marketing, are to benefit from Ca$6.4 million, which will be pumped into the agricultural sector over the next three years, under the 'Improving Jamaica's Agricultural Productivity' project.
"This project represents my vision for a different kind of sustainable agriculture that is modern and technologically advanced to promote the well-being of farmers and Jamaica," said Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Christopher Tufton, on signing the Letter of Intent for the project yesterday (Nov. 24), at the Canadian High Commission on Waterloo Road in Kingston.
The Minister said the project was the country's "largest and best" to date, in terms of tangible outcomes, and would become a catalyst for Jamaicans to engage in agriculture in a way that would be sustainable and lessen dependence on imports.
A tripartite agreement involving the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the Inter-American Institute for Co-operation on Agriculture (IICA), and the Ministry of Agriculture, Minister Tufton said, was in harmony with development objectives, and would address two of the sub-sectors targeted for priority attention this financial year, namely fisheries and greenhouse technology.
The greenhouse component of the project, he said, would "increase the productivity levels of small-scale greenhouse producers to meet the demands of the hospitality and retail markets," while for the fisheries sub-sector, the aim is to rehabilitate basic infrastructure and improve the fishing and environmental practices of fisher folk.
Greenhouse technology, as outlined in the project, includes pilot research, training and commercial development. Under the pilot research aspect, four mini greenhouses will be established and operated by the Ministry of Agriculture's Greenhouse Unit as test sites, to ascertain best technology and conditions for selected crops.
The crops to be studied are lettuce, tomatoes, sweet pepper and hot pepper. During the process, 40 farmers will be trained and four acres of greenhouse capacity established with post harvest facilities in two clusters.
The core activities under the fisheries component will be research and development, rehabilitation of beaches, as well as training and capacity building.
Artificial reefs and lobster sanctuaries to replenish fishing stock and foster reef rehabilitation will be established at three marine sites, while six beaches, which were damaged by hurricanes, will be renovated. The scope of work will entail installation of sanitary facilities and hurricane-proof storage. Fisher-folk in the areas will also be trained in best fishing practices.
Canadian High Commissioner, Denis Kingsley and IICA Representative in Jamaica, Cynthia Currie, were the other signatories to the project.

Q: NODEJS: Uncork() method on writable stream doesn't really flush the data I am writing quite simple application to transform data - read one file and write to another. Files are relatively large - 2 gb. However, what I found is that flush to the file system is not happening, on cork-uncork cycle, it only happens on end(), so the end() basically hangs the system until it's fully flashed.
I simplified the example so it just writes a line to the stream a lot of times.
var PREFIX = 'E:\\TEST\\';
var line = 'AA      11     999999999       20160101        123456  20160101                AAA     00      00   00      0       0       0       2       2       0       0       20160101        0       00';
var fileSystem = require('fs');

function writeStrings() {
var stringsCount = 0;
var stream = fileSystem.createWriteStream(PREFIX +'output.txt');
stream.once('drain', function () {
    console.log("drained");
});

stream.once('open', function (fileDescriptor) {
    var started = false;
    console.log('writing file ');
    stream.cork();
    for (i = 0; i < 2000000; i++) {
        stream.write(line + i);
        if (i % 10000 == 0) {
//                console.log('passed ',i);
        }
        if (i % 100000 == 0) {
            console.log('uncorcked ',i,stream._writableState.writing);
            stream.uncork();
            stream.cork();
        }

    }
    stream.end();
});

stream.once('finish', function () {
    console.log("done");
});

}

writeStrings();

going inside the node _stream_writable.js, I found that it flushes the buffer only on this condition:
    if (!state.writing &&
    !state.corked &&
    !state.finished &&
    !state.bufferProcessing &&
    state.buffer.length)
  clearBuffer(this, state);

and, as you can see from example, the writing flag doesn't set back after first uncork(), which prevents the uncork to flush.
Also, I don't see drain events evoking at all. Playing with highWaterMark doesn't help (actually doesn't seems to have effect on anything). Manually setting the writing to false (+ some other flags) indeed helped but this is surely wrong.
Am I am misunderstanding the concept of this?

A: From the node.js documentation I found that number of uncork() should match the number of cork() call, I am not seeing matching stream.uncork() call for stream.cork(), which is called before the for loop. That might be the issue.

A: Looking at a guide on nodejs.org, you aren't supposed to call stream.uncork() twice in the same event loop. Here is an excerpt:
// Using .uncork() twice here makes two calls on the C++ layer, rendering the
// cork/uncork technique useless.
ws.cork();
ws.write('hello ');
ws.write('world ');
ws.uncork();

ws.cork();
ws.write('from ');
ws.write('Matteo');
ws.uncork();

// The correct way to write this is to utilize process.nextTick(), which fires
// on the next event loop.
ws.cork();
ws.write('hello ');
ws.write('world ');
process.nextTick(doUncork, ws);

ws.cork();
ws.write('from ');
ws.write('Matteo');
process.nextTick(doUncork, ws);

// as a global function
function doUncork(stream) {
  stream.uncork();
}

.cork() can be called as many times we want, we just need to be careful to call .uncork() the same amount of times to make it flow again.

The Superamerica's unusual electric roof was dubbed Revocromico to highlight the unique combination of its rearward rotation movement and electrochromic technology. It has a carbon-fibre structure and the boot capacity remains unchanged whether the roof is open or closed too. The glass rear window also acts as a highly effective wind deflector when the roof is open.The use of electrochromic glass means that the driver can completely control the level of light entering the cockpit. There are five tint levels available and the glass can go from dark to light in under a minute, at the touch of a button. Derived from the 575M Maranello, the Superamerica was enhanced to deliver 540 hp.

Looking for the perfect breakfast for your sweeties this Valentine's Day? These heart shaped sweet rolls are the perfect idea!
Thank you to Tampico for providing the inspiration for this post.
Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that I always enjoy, but I never throw myself into it like other holidays. It's kind of niceto be a little more laid back about things.
Still, I do put a little effort into celebrating the day. I enjoy picking up gummy hearts and Valentine's colored chocolate candies. I like buying Jack a new little toy and a small box of chocolates. I can hardly resist picking up some of the cute decorations in Target's $1/$3 spot. And of course,I love spending the day with Forrest.
Our first married Valentine's Day, I think Forrest kind of forgot about it. And of course, being the emotional person I am, I was so sad!In hindsight, I could have easily planned something…but I was young 😉 We ended up driving around to tons of different restaurants, only to be turned away by most of them, until we ended up at the Old Spaghetti Factory, which ended up being the perfect location. I discovered my love of Mizithra pasta (I had serious cravings for it during pregnancy), and that restaurant will always hold a special place in my heart. I mean, it saved us from eating atMcDonald's.
This will be our seventh Valentine's Day that we will have spent together. Though this year, we will be spending it in a car as we drive back from Northern Idaho. Not exactly the epitome of romantic, but at least we are all together. Maybe we'll go somewhere yummy to eat on the side of the road!
I often say this, but holidays are even more fun with children. I love seeing how excited Jack gets when I put up a new decoration or when he sees little Valentine's at the store. I picked up a little Valentine's mailbox at Target, and he went crazy over it! The smallest things make him happy, and I love being able to watch it.
Since we are going to be out of town on Valentine's Day, I thought I would make a special treat for us before we left. Jack has beenasking me to buy orange rolls for a while now, so when I saw them on sale recently, I picked up a package.
Forrest suggested that I make them in the shapes of hearts using this silicone heart baking pan I got a few years ago. I sometimes buy things and forget about them – this was one of them – so I was glad he suggested it! I also wanted to make the glaze a little more delicious, and whenI saw Mango Tampico at the store, I thought that was a much-needed "zing" that the glaze needed.
I was a little nervous about whether or not they would turn out looking like hearts or just turn into big blobs of dough (especially because the raw dough didn't fill the inside of the hearts all the way). So, when I opened the oven, I was thrilled to see that they had expanded perfectly into the shape of a heart!
I must admit – I didn't want to eat them at first because I just enjoyed admiring them. That feeling didn't last long as the citrusy aroma filled the room, and Jack was politely asking for one.
I loved the added flavor in the glaze from the Tampico, and I also loved how easy these were. They turned out so cute with hardly any effort at all – my favorite kind of project. I have a feeling these heart-shaped orange rolls will be a yearly tradition now!
Place the siliconemold on a baking sheet.
Open the refrigeratedorange rolls. Remove one roll at a time and unroll. Place one end of the rollat the center of the heart and wrap around the edge of the heart. Wrap the remainder of the roll into the center of the heart. There will be some gaps remaining.
While cooking, placethe orange roll icing in a bowl and add the Tampico. Mix together untilcombined.
After rolls are done cooking, remove from oven and drizzle liberally the icing on top while still hot. Remove from silicone mold after they've cooled for about 5-10 minutes.
Remove from silicone mold after they've cooled for about 5-10 minutes.
Yummy! These look so cute and also delicious! Orange rolls are so good, and I know my family would appreciate me making them for Valentine's Day!


Last night the kids and I headed up to 49er Drive-in Theater on Calumet Ave. in Valparaiso to see the new Madagascar 3, which runs through June 15th at 49er. Perfect night for it!
Men in Black 3 followed, but my kids are a little too young to make it that late of a night. If you have toddlers, you can try getting them to fall sleep on a blanket before the first movie is over and watch the 2nd in peace with your spouse! Make sure to bring bug spray, blankets and chairs.
We've been to 49er a number of times, and always have a good time. They've been entertaining the community since 1956. The first movie starts at 8:30pm. Last night with it being premier night for Madagascar 3, it was packed! We arrived about 7:15 to get a spot closer to the front (it opens at 7pm). The kids have fun playing in the grassy area in front of the huge movie screen until the movie starts - you know it's about time when the Beep Beep song comes on the radios. Everyone there has always been very courteous of each other when we've been there.
Prices are pretty reasonable, too. Cost for adults is $8 each, kids 5-11 $4 and little ones 4 and under are free. They have great concession stand in the center of the lot with favorites like buttery popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, candy, onion rings, caramel apples, hot and cold drinks and now they even serve pizzas for the family.
When was the last time you went to a drive-in?

Nestled between the Lakes Region and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Town of Sandwich is classic New England. Settlers began moving up from Boston in the 1760s and the town was incorporated in 1763. It was named in honor of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, said to be the inventor of the sandwich.
By 1830, Sandwich had grown to a population of 2700. During the 1800s, the town contained stores, churches, schools, carpenters, blacksmiths, and wheelwrights, with farms and mills in the surrounding area. Because the railroad never came to Sandwich and farming was difficult (New Hampshire is called "the Granite State" with good reason), the population declined after the Civil War. Sandwich, which includes part of Squam Lake within the town limits, began to be an attraction for visitors, summer residents and artists.
Take a tour with me through the Center Sandwich Historical District and surrounding areas.
Many old cemeteries in the area are a reminder that the population used to be much larger.
Many historic houses are now bed and breakfasts.
Granite is often used for utilitarian purposes – including signposts!
Many of the buildings in Center Sandwich are Federal and Greek Revival in style.
Sandwich is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Sandwich celebrated its sestercentennial in 2013.

But here's my favorite sign. I wonder what it says?

I took this photo of a young girl coming home from school in Yaounde, Cameroon. It is a photo that always reminds me that, as Gandhi once said, all of humanity is one family.

This special pottery combines the traditions of Pueblo and Navajo artists with daring new interpretations by the modern generation. In 280 beautiful color photos, styles inherently connected with old beliefs and Southwest clay are shown to have fresh appearance in the hands of contemporary potters. The book has three easy to use sections: Part 1 presents vessels (bowls, plates, ollas, pitchers, and vases) arranged alphabetically by living potters in Acoma, Hopi, Jemez, Navajo, San Felipe, San Ildefonso, San Juan, Santa Ana, Zia and Zuni families. Part 2 presents figures (storytellers and charming animal figures) arranged alphabetically by artists. Part 3 is an unprecedented directory of artists (kachina carvers, jewelry makers, sculptors and potters), in a comprehensive alphabetical format which combines biographies with the makers' personal beliefs to help the reader interpret their work. The Directory also cross references the pottery shown in the book. This reference section alone makes the work indispensible for everyone concerned with contemporary Indian arts.
