Noken is an essential tool/bag/clothing in the lives of Indigenous people of West Papua, which is made from knitting thin strips of wood primarily from the Gnetum Gnemon tree. Raw materials required to make noken have become scarce due to massive deforestation. An analysis of the noken lends itself to a useful understanding of the link between economic development initiatives in the Merauke Regency of West Papua and shifting cultural identity among Indigenous Papuans. Drawing on the Women, Culture and Development (WCD) approach, this qualitative study examines interviews from Papuan women in order to understand how the noken resonates with Indigenous Papuans, and how perceptions of noken and their accessibility have changed. The findings reveal that a combination of factors contribute to dwindling noken supplies, which adversely impact Papuans' ability to produce and reproduce their culture. This paper argues that Papuan women possess an unwritten specialized knowledge that is of increased value in a shifting social context and hold new meaning in response to competing influences of non-Papuans.

Palma de Mallorca is a small but vibrant city on the southern shore of Mallorca, one of the Balearic islands. Visitors can enjoy a bustling cafe scene, restaurants and thriving nightlife all year round. Flights from the airports in London are plentiful and finding a convenient flight from Southend Airport is easy.
Palma de Mallorca can be visited all year round, although it can be cold enough in December and January to experience snow. The bathing season begins in May every year and the summer months can be extremely hot. Swimming in the Mediterranean Sea should be possible until well into October and even November.
In January, residents celebrate the life of Sant Sebastia, Palma de Mallorca's patron saint with a large music festival. Easter is celebrated throughout April and May with Easter processions and other activities taking place. In June, the Night of Fire takes place. The Night of Fire is a celebration before St. John's day that typically involves an all-night music and firework extravaganza.
Spanish and Catalan are widely spoken across the island of Mallorca, including in Palma. English is also a common language so English-speaking travellers should not have much trouble making themselves understood. Mallorca is typically cheaper than London for food, especially when it comes to eating out. Mallorca is one hour ahead and the timezone is GMT+1.
The closest airport to Palma de Mallorca is 9 km from the centre of the city. Taxis from the airport to the city centre will cost approximately 30 euro. A more affordable way to get to the city centre is using the Bus 1 service. Buses depart from the airport every 15 minutes and cost about 10% of the price of a taxi. Car rentals are also widely available at the airport for people who want the freedom of their own transport.
In Palma's city centre and the surrounding areas, the average price for a hotel is around 50 euro per person per night. Hostels and B&B accommodation is available for much cheaper, at a cost of approximately 20 euro per night. Prices are typically raised during the peak tourist season between July and September. Palma de Mallorca has an efficient and well developed metro and bus network. Public transport is typically much cheaper than taxis. Since Palma is a relatively small city, most attractions in the central part can be reached on foot. Travellers wishing to explore other parts of the island can get trains and buses from Plaza de Espana to other island destinations. Bike hire and car hire is also readily available and relatively cheap.

Objective:Mold contamination of cakes and the possibility of mold growth can pose a serious health problem. Bakery products include various ingredients, which regularly contain molds. These microorganisms on cakes can come from the air, contaminated packaging materials and other sources.Methods: In this study, a total of 500 fungal isolates representing 36 species, were identified from cake samples and ambient environment air on four different media. For each cake sample, four culture and two culturing methods, spread plating and pour plating, were applied. For environment, precipitating technique during producing and suspension of work were used. Identification based on morphological characterization included colony's structure and profiles were identified by slide culture technique and primary Keys identification. Meanwhile four type's media studied for growth rate (mm/day) of 36 isolated mold species after 14 days at 25°C. Results: The most predominant fungal genera arranged in cake samples were Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Mucor and Rhizopus sp.as the same, and Alternaria sp. respectively. The most frequent environment fungi were as the order follows: Aspergillus (24.5%), Penicillium (21.30%), Cladosporium (20.65%), Alternaria (12.15%), Trichoderma (9.51%), Epicoccum (7.29%), Mucor (3.64%), Rhizopus (0.81%). No significant difference was observed between the data obtained the spread plating and pour plating technique. Spores germination for each media was also measured and indicated varies greatly between MEA and other. Conclusions: Comparison of colony's growth rates was adapted with the previous results of counting colonies. Considering the time-rate relationship amongst 36 fungal species, 14 of them fallowed linear equations and 7 others followed nonlinear Gauss-Newton curves.

Q: How to move vertical scroll dynamically in Material UI DataGrid component[React] I am using Material UI DataGrid component in my project.
(components info : https://material-ui.com/api/data-grid/data-grid/)
But, I can't move the vertical scroll to selected row position like this.

const windows = document.getElementsByClassName('MuiDataGrid-window')[0];

windows[0].scrollTop = 10; // 10 is for test.

I find that the div tag which has class name called 'MuiDataGrid-window'  has vertical scrollbar.
So. I tried that.. It doesn't work.
Does anyone know about this info?

Latin - Tacitus, Cornelius - Baltic Sea Library
Cornelius Tacitus (56 - ca. 120), after an education in rhetorics, set out on a political career occupying over the years positions as quaestor, praetor, consul in Rome and of governor in the Roman province of Asia. From about 98 onward he worked as a writer, mostly as historian. Besides the Germania, which came out ca. 98, he wrote four other works that survived: Agricola (98), Dialogus de oratoribus (ca. 100), Historiae (ca. 110) and Annales (ca. 120).

CWI merges with NWO Institutes Organisation
NWO-I merger
CWI merges with NWO Institutes Organisation With effect from 1 January 2018, CWI will merge with the NWO Institutes Organisation, NWO-I. The other institutes that join the merger are ASTRON, NIOZ, NSCR and SRON. The institutes AMOLF, ARCNL, DIFFER and Nikhef are already part of NWO-I. https://www.cwi.nl/news/2017/cwi-merges-with-nwo-institutes-organisation https://www.cwi.nl/news/2017/cwi-merges-with-nwo-institutes-organisation/@@download/image/nwo-1-logo-merger-for-web.jpg
With effect from 1 January 2018, CWI will merge with the NWO Institutes Organisation, NWO-I. The other institutes that join the merger are ASTRON, NIOZ, NSCR and SRON. The institutes AMOLF, ARCNL, DIFFER and Nikhef are already part of NWO-I.
In 2015, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) started a transition to a new organizational structure. The new NWO is intended to be more flexible, more effective, and more focused on collaboration, which means it will be in a better position to respond to developments in science and society. In the new NWO structure there is a clear distinction between a granting organization, NWO, and a separate institutes organization: the Netherlands Foundation of Scientific Research Institutes, or NWO-I for short.
In October and November 2017, the boards of CWI and fellow research institutes ASTRON, NIOZ, NSCR and SRON decided to merge with the NWO Institutes Organisation. On 31 December 2017, the solicitor will execute the merger deed, upon which the merger will be a fact on 1 January 2018.
CWI mission
After the merger, CWI will continue to fulfil its mission to conduct pioneering research in mathematics and computer science, generating new knowledge in these fields and conveying it to industry and to society at large. The general director of CWI, Jos Baeten, continues to be responsible for the CWI mission, for the day to day management of the institute, for the appointment of all CWI personnel and for the implementation of (research) policies. The foundation board of NWO-I will advise and monitor Baeten.
In the spring of 2017, the boards of the aforementioned institutes, including CWI, took an intended decision to merge with NWO-I. That intended decision was submitted to the works councils, which issued a positive advice. The proposal to merge was subsequently deposited at the relevant Chambers of Commerce and the statements of no appeal were received from the relevant courts in August.
For more information about the merger, visit the NWO-I website.

We all knew another move coming and therefore aren't going to quit now.
Our Montessori students are resilient and will shine through this transitions. They see the bigger picture.
Extra efforts are being made at home to bring up academics.
The reason we haven't left, is not because of academics, but rather concern for the loss of confidence in the students. The abrupt adjustment could be devastating.
We need to have good quality classrooms and teachers.
Concerns of safety in new locations; especially two campuses.
Everyone likes to cheer for the underdog.

William Sinclair (b. c. 1794 – 12 October 1868) was a chief factor of the Hudson's Bay Company. He was a brother of James Sinclair and his father, also William Sinclair, founded the first fort at Oxford House.

William was four when his father was building the HBC post at Oxford House and he joined the company there in 1808 and worked in that district until 1816 when he was called to the company headquarters in Britain. Weather forced them to winter in James Bay and his resourcefulness in these trying circumstances furthered his career.

Sinclair was an important part of the Bow River expedition of 1822–23 led by Donald McKenzie who was Governor of the Red River Colony and an explorer/fur trader. The trek was to the forks of the South Saskatchewan and Red Deer rivers. He added an 850-mile side trip on this occasion, along with John Edward Harriott, to the Cypress Hills and Missouri country.

William Sinclair's career became increasingly filled with important tasks and he was regarded as a valued officer of the Hudson's Bay Company.

On November 20th, the day before Thanksgiving break, everyone at North Shore Middle School did something wonderful and inspiring. Everyone celebrated E3 Day together making a positive difference in the lives of others. "Everyone Matters, Everyone Cares, Everyone Learns (E3) has been the middle school ethos for a number of years. Annually on E3 Day, middle school students are encouraged to learn about themselves and others while thinking about ways they can make a positive difference in their school, community, and in places around the world.
Principal Rob Dennis said, "E3 Day 2018 began with the Annual Thanksgiving breakfast. Our students were served a buffet-style breakfast, prepared by our faculty. All of our students brought in canned goods that are being donated to local food shelters. An all school assembly was then held in the North Shore High School theatre where students listened to Gian Paul Gonzalez, who has traveled the world as a motivational speaker. He was a college basketball player and turned down a professional career to proudly teach at-risk students as a high school teacher in Union City. His "All In" rally message was widely known to lead the New York Giants to their Super Bowl victory. His inspirational talks have made him an internationally renowned speaker for NBA, NFL, and Barclay's English Premiere League & Fortune 500 organizations. Not to mention also inspiring the students, faculty and staff of North Shore Middle School on E3 day!
Once again, E3 Day proved that when North Shore Middle Schoolers are "All In" they could rise to the occasion, work together, pay it forward, and make a difference in the world! Many thanks to Gian Paul Gonzalez and all of the community members, faculty and staff that helped make this day a tremendous success. Please ask your children how they helped make a difference this E3 day.

Ansbach & Associates was formed in 1985 in response to a need for greater choice in experienced, professional capital campaign management services in California and surrounding states. It began as an affiliation with Ketchum Inc., the country's largest and most trusted capital campaign management company. The new firm grew quickly to demonstrate a stellar record in campaign successes serving clients regionally, nationally and internationally. In response again to market needs, the company added interim management services to help organizations facing significant challenges and opportunities rebound or grow to set the stage for increased fundraising. Most recently, the firm grew once more using the background and skills of its founder to help match social entrepreneurs with the sustainability objectives of major companies and their community stakeholders.

What size campaigns do you do?
We specialize in campaigns for $1 million to $50 million and above
Who does the day-to-day work of a campaign?
When we manage the whole campaign the Board approves the project and goal, helps with leadership recruitment, promotes the project among peers, and solicits select donations. The Executive Director approves the project to be funded and accompanies volunteers on select solicitations. The Development Director provides case and donor information, assists select volunteers and integrates campaign records into the organization database. Volunteer campaigners do the majority of the solicitations
When you do interim management, to whom do you report?
We report to whomever the Board designates, which is usually the Board Chair
How much does campaign management cost?
Campaigns generally cost between 3 cents and 10 cents per dollar goal
Do you work on percentage of the goal raised?
No, it is a flat fee per month to manage the process. That is very important when it comes to motivating volunteers and maintaining consistent management quality when campaigns inevitably hit challenges
Do social entrepreneurs work in the for-profit or nonprofit sectors?
Both. They basically focus on sustainable disruption using business methods to help solve entrenched social and environmental challenges in either sector

Greg McMackin picked up the phone one day in 1999 and the Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator found himself talking to the University of Utah athletic director. It looked like the Utes were going to lose their head coach, Ron McBride, to Hawaii. How would McMackin like to succeed his former boss in Salt Lake City?
"I would've gone," McMackin said yesterday. "Isn't it funny how things work out?"
It was McMackin who wound up in Hawaii instead of McBride, after June Jones answered "deal" to UH's final offer. One of Jones' first calls was to McMackin, asking him to come run the defense. He did it for one year, left, came back last season and is 2-for-2 in WAC championships.
McBride lasted at Utah until 2002 (his replacement there was one Urban Meyer) and went to be an assistant at Kentucky.
Now it's Mack vs. Mack on Saturday at Aloha Stadium, with McBride bringing dangerous underdog Weber State here for the Warriors' home opener. It probably shouldn't be a surprise that two of the older head coaches in the college game have ties ... or that they worked together.
"I coached for Ron McBride for three years, he's a great coach, physical, tough, hard-nosed, he's spread it out a little bit (on offense)," McMackin said. " ... He's a guy that loves Hawaii, he's got 15 or more Hawaiian kids on his team. They're coming here to make a statement and we need everyone to come to the ballgame and need everybody's help. This isn't going to be as easy of a game as everybody makes it as."
» Another thing that isn't easy - especially if you do it too fast - is coming back from a high ankle sprain. Running back Daniel Libre looked sharp at Florida, and is a key to UH's success this season. He told Brian McInnis he thinks he can play Saturday. But rushing back with a bad sprain would be a mistake. There's plenty of season left for Libre to make an impact.
» It would also be wrong to use my Football Fever picks for anything other than amusement; not advice on your "friendly wagers"-type amusement, but ROTFL amusement. That's true after last week's 6-6 maiden voyage following minutes of arduous research. I wish I had a quarterback to change.
Hey, I do after our office's fantasy league draft; Matt Leinart. That's what happens when you leave it on auto - you get the backup and not the starter.
» Castle and Farrington is the highest profile high school game this week, but Pac-Five and Word of Life promises to be the most emotionally charged.
Joe Onosai - the only blocking back I've ever heard of to be named state Player of the Year - was Pac-Five football in 1982 when the former doormat won the first of two Prep Bowls.
Now Word of LIfe has broken away (some say was pushed) from the Pack and formed its own team - with Onosai as coach. Friday he matches wits with Kip Botelho, the son of his legendary Wolfpack coach Don Botelho.

Government / IN BRIEF / Nate Jackson / December 21, 2017
FBI: Deep-State Leadership
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's congressional testimony highlights major conflict of interest.
As Americans celebrate the good Christmas news of huge tax cuts, it's worth noting that another of the year's biggest stories continues to slowly unfold. That would be the rampant corruption infecting the FBI. Fox News reports, "FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe testified behind closed doors for nearly eight hours Tuesday on Capitol Hill, amid calls for his firing over allegations of conflicts of interest and anti-Trump political prejudice at the law enforcement bureau." House investigators were led by the imminently capable Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC). While the testimony was not public, there was some indication of discrepancies with previous witness testimony, and there could be subpoenas handed down next week for personnel at the FBI and Justice Department.
McCabe is under fire for conflict of interest in three areas. He is believed to be the "Andy" referenced in texts between FBI agent Peter Strzok and his FBI mistress Lisa Page — texts that slam then-candidate Donald Trump as a "menace" and "loathsome human," as well as discuss an "insurance policy" in case Trump won. House investigators are interested in determining the role McCabe played in what Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) worried might be "a plan to take action to make sure that Donald Trump does not get elected president of the United States at the highest levels of the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
Investigators also likely questioned McCabe regarding demoted Justice Department official Bruce Ohr and his wife, Nellie. Ohr, who is likely to be subpoenaed, had undisclosed meetings with Fusion GPS, the firm that produced the phony "dossier" — paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC. At the same time, Ohr's wife worked for Fusion GPS on Trump-related matters. McCabe reportedly told the congressional intelligence committee that he couldn't recall when he first learned that Clinton and the DNC funded the Fusion project, "despite the reported existence of documents with McCabe's own signature on them establishing his knowledge of the dossier's financing and provenance," Fox News adds.
Finally, McCabe's wife ran as a Democrat for a state Senate seat in Virginia and took nearly $700,000 in contributions from donors like Terry McAuliffe linked to the Clinton machine. That was at the same time McCabe supervised the "probe" into Clinton's illegal email server. He finally recused himself — one week prior to the election.
McCabe, Ohr, Strzok and a host of others lurking in powerful government positions are the very kind of "deep state" folks loyal to Barack Obama who are busy undermining Donald Trump at every turn.

This work presents a visual information fusion approach for robust probability-oriented feature matching. It is sustained by omnidirectional imaging, and it is tested in a visual localization framework, in mobile robotics. General visual localization methods have been extensively studied and optimized in terms of performance. However, one of the main threats that jeopardizes the final estimation is the presence of outliers. In this paper, we present several contributions to deal with that issue. First, 3D information data, associated with SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Feature) points detected on the images, is inferred under the Bayesian framework established by Gaussian processes (GPs). Such information represents a probability distribution for the feature points' existence, which is successively fused and updated throughout the robot's poses. Secondly, this distribution can be properly sampled and projected onto the next 2D image frame in t+1, by means of a filter-motion prediction. This strategy permits obtaining relevant areas in the image reference system, from which probable matches could be detected, in terms of the accumulated probability of feature existence. This approach entails an adaptive probability-oriented matching search, which accounts for significant areas of the image, but it also considers unseen parts of the scene, thanks to an internal modulation of the probability distribution domain, computed in terms of the current uncertainty of the system. The main outcomes confirm a robust feature matching, which permits producing consistent localization estimates, aided by the odometer's prior to estimate the scale factor. Publicly available datasets have been used to validate the design and operation of the approach. Moreover, the proposal has been compared, firstly with a standard feature matching and secondly with a localization method, based on an inverse depth parametrization. The results confirm the validity of the approach in terms of feature matching, localization accuracy, and time consumption. View Full-Text

Juniper aims to provide a high quality Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) service that ensures all students have access to inspirational competent staff and quality resources, in order to help, assist and support individuals to make informed choices about their training needs, personal development, wellbeing, career development and progression opportunities.
Juniper has a responsibility to ensure its staff and students are provided with independent and impartial Careers, Information, Advice and Guidance. We believe that by providing and signposting our students to local and national support agencies and by working closely with organisations, we will ensure young people receive the help and advice to overcome any problem or issue that is stopping them from making good progress with their education and future career choices.
Juniper endeavours to raise your aspirations, increase motivation and confidence to succeed in education, work and life. This will have a positive impact on the overall wellbeing of our students who will then go onto achieve and progress.
Raising the Participation Age (RPA) came into effect in August 2013.
The Government increased the age to which all young people in England are required to continue in education or training, meaning that all students have to continue until at least their 18th birthday.
A job, self employment or volunteering (for 20 hours or more a week) alongside part time education or training.
It will significantly increase your prospects for future employment and the amount you are likely to earn over your lifetime. RPA means that all young people are given the opportunity, provision and support they need to learn and participate after age 16.
At Juniper we have in-house CEIAG Specialists who support students throughout their programme. All of our dedicated staff are trained to recognise and support students who are at risk of falling behind or not achieving their programme due to personal development, behaviour or welfare issues.
Over the years Juniper have supported vulnerable students to deal with a range of issues such as anger management, relationship advice, family breakdown, conflict management, violence, abuse, financial issues, bullying, sexual health, self-harm, crime and transgender.
If additional support is required students are signposted to a range of professional support services in each local area. This is to ensure that we always offer a professional, integral and impartial information, advice and guidance service.


Torches in the Night was a 3-part radio intervention, taking place over the course of one 'working day' in August 2013. At 9am, 12 noon and 5pm, three unannounced broadcasts of written works –read aloud by local spoken word artists –took place on Preston FM community radio.
The broadcasts blended fact and fiction to chart the course of over 100 years of revolutionary activism, within the context of a contemporary nine-to-five routine. Torches in the Night aimed to question our relationship with work and to celebrate the pursuit of social revolution.

We reviewed the Terra Master D5-300C DAS here at eTeknix over seven months ago. Now a new Thunderbolt 3 version of the similar 5-bay DAS has been launched. Instead of a single USB-C connector in the rear, the new D5 Thunderbolt 3 model has a pair of Thunderbolt 3 connectors available. This of course offers a significant speed bump over the USB-C version. The new Thunderbolt 3 version is capable of up to 40 Gbps and 1035MB/s transfer rates. The USB-C on the other hand operates at USB 3.1 Gen 1 with 5 Gbps theoretical and actual transfer rates are 410MB/s with SSHDs in RAID.
Unlike the D5-300C with its 3+2 RAID storage configuration, the D5 Thunderbolt 3 is actually a 5-bay professional RAID device. It can can operate with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10, as well as JBOD disk array modes for all your application needs. This underpins the all-important concern for guaranteed data security. Plus it ensures that your storage capacity is utilized in the most efficient way possible.
Adding to the flexibility of the pair of Thunderbolt 3 connectors is a DisplayPort connector. This allows for up to a 4K display to be hooked up directly on the device. With Thunderbolt 3, users can even have up to three displays connected at the same time.
How Much is the Terra Master D5 Thunderbolt 3?
It is now Available for $699.95 USD.


The design of aerodynamic airfoils are optimized for certain conditions. For instance, the shape of the wings of fixed-wing aircrafts are designed and optimized for a certain flight condition (in terms of altitude, speed, aircraft weight, etc.). However, these flight conditions vary significantly during the flight. Currently, aircraft are provided with control surfaces such as flaps, slat and ailerons, normally governed by powerful but heavy hydraulic mechanisms. These moving parts allow the aircraft to fly under many different flight conditions, although usually with non-optimal performance. Moreover, these mechanisms introduce hinges and surface discontinuities between parts which cause undesirable effects such as turbulences and noise or a decrease of the lift-to-drag ratio. This issue motivates the research and development of the so-called 'morphing aircraft' or 'morphing wings'. Ideally, a morphing aircraft is able to modify quickly the shape of its wings in-flight, thus reaching optimum aerodynamic performance under any flight condition. This idea is applicable to any other aerospace applications such as rotorcraft or wind turbines. Morphing applied to aerodynamic airfoils brings along interesting benefits: reduction of mechanical fatigue which has a special importance in wind turbines and rotorcrafts (by minimizing vibrations on the structure), reduction of the wing root bending moment, reduction of fuel consumption of flying machines and increase of the performance of wind turbines by increasing the lift-to-drag ratio of the wings or blades, and the reduction of generated noise. This dissertation gives an introduction on the concept of morphing applied to aerodynamic airfoils and describes the benefits and challenges brought by morphing structures. Subsequently, the potential of smart materials to develop novel actuation systems is introduced. The description of the motivation for this work leads to the purpose of this research, which aims at developing a prototype of a general-purpose morphing flat surface based on embedded shape memory alloy wires with increased working frequency for morphing airfoils. In order to achieve this purpose, the research is divided into two research objectives. The first research objective is to develop a profound understanding of the behaviour of shape memory alloys (SMAs) and, subsequently, to devise a method to increase their actuation frequency. The second research objective is to develop novel control algorithms and actuator technology as well as an integration technology for the SMA wires with increased actuation frequency. Following the introduction, this thesis describes the potential of smart materials in general, and SMAs in particular, to develop novel smart actuators for morphing wings. The main differences between conventional and smart actuators are explained together with their advantages and introduced challenges in terms of design and control. The selection of SMAs is justified as the best candidates to achieve the research objectives. A detailed description, working principles, features, capabilities, limitations and applications of SMA based actuators is given as well. In order to fulfill the first research objective, a series of logical steps were followed. Once the requirements of the SMA based actuator were stated, a commercial SMA wire was chosen and characterized (i.e., the phase diagram of the SMA wire was obtained) which shows the phase composition of the SMA when it is subjected to different levels of stress and temperature. The phase diagram was obtained from data collected from isothermal, isobaric and differential scanning calorimeter tests. During an isothermal test, the temperature is kept constant and the SMA wire is subjected to increasing and decreasing levels of stress in order to find those stresses at which the SMA's phase transforms. Similarly, an isobaric test keeps the stress on the SMA constant over time and the temperature is increased and decreased to find those at which the SMA's phase transforms. Subsequently, the functional fatigue of the SMA wire was studied by training the SMA wire. This training process consist in applying repetitive heating and cooling cycles in an isobaric configuration. High repeatability was found on the results. After an average of 7289 training cycles, the wire was able to recover only 77% of its original recoverable length for the tested conditions of applied current, heating time, cooling time and applied stress. Subsequently, an SMA model for SMA wires is implemented in a finite element analysis software. The equations that describe the model and their physical meaning are explained. One of the advantages of the chosen model is the ease of obtaining the parameters required by the model, which can be obtained from a few experiments. In addition, and also as a part of the model's required parameters, the characteristics of the forced cooling system are studied here, and the heat transfer coefficient of such airflow for different airflow rates is measured. Finally, the model is satisfactorily validated. One of the limitations of SMA based actuators is their poor actuation frequency (usually lower than 0.1Hz). This is due to the fact that they are thermally activated, normally by Joule heating, which is a quick process. However, they must be cooled before the next actuation cycle, which normally happens by natural convection. This cooling process can be accelerated by means of active cooling systems. In this research, an active cooling airflow at room temperature is used. The effects of applying different heating and cooling rates on the time that it takes for the wire to contract and elongate (respectively) were experimentally measured using an isobaric configuration. In addition, the same experiments were simulated by the model for SMA wires implemented previously. There is an overall quantitative disagreement between the results yielded by the simulations and by the experiments. However, the results are useful qualitatively. It is found that the contracting and the cooling times are significantly decreased as the applied power and airflow is increased. More importantly, it is found that when the wire works at low working frequencies, the heating rate is the limiting factor whereas the cooling rate is the limiting factor when it works at high working frequencies. In addition, these experiments show that increasing the level of applied stress results in slightly higher working frequencies of the SMA wire. The knowledge acquired in the previous experiments and simulations leads to the development of a method to improve the attainable actuation frequency of the SMA wires. This method is based on the idea that, in many SMA based applications, the SMA wires do not work throughout their full recoverable strain but they work only within a portionofit. Taking advantage of the nonlinearity of the strain-temperature relationship for SMAs, the method proposed here is able to increase the SMA's actuation frequency by three and a half times just by making the SMA wire work within the most suitable range of strains, without varying the heating, cooling and stress conditions. The development of this method fulfills the first research objective. Later on in this thesis, the design, manufacturing and assembling processes of the SMA based actuator as well as their challenges are detailed. First, a beam-like module of the SMA based actuator was conceived, designed and manufactured. Subsequently, the design was expanded in the spanwise direction, thus obtaining a modular SMA based actuator that forms a morphing plate. The morphing plate was tested by heating the SMA wires embedded in the actuator. This test revealed an unexpected behaviour of the plate. The expected behaviour was that it would bend upwards when the wires on the top side were heated. However, instead of bending uniformly along the spanwise direction, the center of the plate bended upwards and the sides downwards. A similar response was observed when the wires on the bottom side were heated. This was found to be caused by inhomogeneous thermal expansion (in the spanwise direction) through the thickness of the plate. Due to the unexpected response observed on the morphing plate, a single beamlike module SMA based actuator was controlled under two different control strategies, fuzzy logic control (FLC) and proportional-integrative-derivative (PID) control. In both cases, the SMA based actuator was made to track sinusoidal and step signals in order to measure its performance. The overall performance of the system under FLC is better than that under PID. Under FLC, it reaches actuation frequencies above 0.6Hz for working at amplitudes of up to 6mm, and frequencies above 1Hz for amplitudes of up to 3mm while tracking the reference signal accurately (maintaining relative error below 10%). Under PID control, it reaches actuation frequencies above 0.5Hz when working at amplitudes up to 3mm, and frequencies above 0.7Hz for amplitudes up to 2mm. The actuator is able to track step signals (that is, to reach and maintain a constant deflection over time) under both types of controller, although under FLC it is significantly more stable. These developed design, manufacture, assembly and control methods fulfill the second research objective. This thesis presents novel methods aiming to increase the accuracy and actuation frequency of SMA based actuators. In particular, this work is focused on the development of a morphing surface intended to be integrated in morphing airfoils. However, the methods and ideas developed in this research are applicable to other SMA based applications, especially those which require fast, cyclic and accurate actuation.

Q: Chorographer issue in Android Service I have a class which makes GPS requests at an interval of 1 second.
I also have a Service which keeps a notification alive.
This service updates the text of the notification with data from the GPS, at an interval of 1 second.
In the application, I have a BroadcastRecevier which listens to the service updates and changes some text within the application.
I get the Choreographer issue (Choreographer(691): Skipped xxx frames! The application may be doing too much work on its main thread.)
I've added my code below, but deleted the unnecessary code from it.
The debugging challenge is that usually it takes 30-90 minutes for the error to occur and not even every time.
Any suggestion?

The Fiji crested iguana is distinguished by its larger size growing to 76 centimetres in length and weighing as much as 300 grams.
It is further distinguished by the presence of a taller spiny "crest" on its back with spines as long as 1.5 centimetres running from the nape of the neck to the base of its tail, and its ability to rapidly change color from green to black when aroused.
The Fiji crested iguana is largely solitary, coming together only to mate or confront each other. Displays of territorial defense include head bobbing and the darkening of body color. Males also communicate with females by head bobbing but the speed and duration is different to that shown in aggression.
The Fiji crested iguana are herbivorous feeding on the leaves, fruit, and flowers of trees and shrubs, particularly hibiscus flowers of the Vau tree (Hibiscus tiliaceus).
The breeding season occurs during the months of March and April, with courtship and mating commencing in January.
The Fiji crested iguana is oviparous and has one of the longest incubation periods of any reptile at 189 days. Females guard the nest of four to six eggs, which is unusual for iguanids. Hatchlings emerge from their eggs in the rainy season and obtain moisture by licking wet leaves.
The biggest threat this iguana faces is habitat loss due to fires, storms, agricultural development, and competition from feral goats. Goats were introduced to Yadua Taba in 1972.
After the discovery of the Fiji crested iguana, the island was declared a sanctuary and all but a few goats were removed and fires banned.
A secondary threat is introduced predators in the forms of rats, mongooses, and cats which prey on the iguanas and their eggs. Additionally the iguana has been hunted as a food source and for the illegal animal trade.

In the `HorizonsApp`, add a `SliverAppBar` at the top of the
`CustomScrollView`, and remove the `AppBar` in the `Scaffold`.
The `SliverAppBar` shares similar properties with the existing
`AppBar`, so let's migrate those too.

```dart
body: CustomScrollView(
  slivers: <Widget>[
    SliverAppBar(
      title: Text('Horizons'),
      backgroundColor: Colors.teal[800],
    ),
    WeeklyForecastList(),
  ],
),
```

We now have a scrolling app bar. This app bar scrolls as if it were
part of our list. The `SliverAppBar` has a lot more dynamic features
though, so let's explore pinned, floating, snap, and collapsing behaviors
for the new `SliverAppBar`.

Pinning the app bar keeps it at the top of the screen, like
the `AppBar` we had before.

```dart
SliverAppBar(
  title: Text('Horizons'),
  backgroundColor: Colors.teal[800],
  pinned: true,
),
```

A floating `SliverAppBar` will scroll out of view, but it scrolls back
into view when the user scrolls back in that direction, regardless
of the current position in the scroll view.

```dart
SliverAppBar(
  title: Text('Horizons'),
  backgroundColor: Colors.teal[800],
  floating: true,
),
```

Floating app bars also support snap animation. This animation snaps
the `SliverAppBar` in and out of view as the user scrolls, rather than floating
in with the user input.

```dart
SliverAppBar(
  title: Text('Horizons'),
  backgroundColor: Colors.teal[800],
  floating: true,
  snap: true,
),
```

Last, let's see how the `SliverAppBar` behaves when we use an
expandedHeight. This adds to the size of the app bar and collapses
as the user scrolls. The expandedHeight can be combined with the
floating, pinned, and snap features that were discussed earlier.

```dart
SliverAppBar(
  title: Text('Horizons'),
  backgroundColor: Colors.teal[800],
  pinned: true,
  expandedHeight: 200.0,
),
```

We can fill this extra space using a `FlexibleSpaceBar`. Let's
explore that in the next step.
