Minutes before the start of Tuesday's Republican National Convention broadcast, a controversial speaker was pulled from the lineup. Mary Ann Mendoza's removal came hours after she retweeted an anti-Semitic call to her more than 40,000 followers, encouraging them to investigate a Twitter thread detailing a fake Jewish plot to dominate the world that was circulating among adherents of the QAnon conspiracy theory.
I retweeted a very long thread earlier without reading every post within the thread. My apologies for not paying attention to the intent of the whole message. That does not reflect my feelings or personal thoughts whatsoever.
— Angel Mom Mary Ann Mendoza💥TEXT EMPOWER TO 88022 (@mamendoza480) August 25, 2020
She deleted the tweet—something of a first for Mendoza, who in the past said she would not back down after Twitter asked her to remove tweets that violated the social media platform's guidelines. Last year Twitter suspended her account after determining multiple tweets were hate speech according to local media. She refused to remove the posts and Trump, of course, supported Mendoza at the time urging the social media platform to let her back on. Eventually Twitter allowed her to continue tweeting.
Had Mendoza taken the stage Tuesday night, she would've shared a story she has shared countless times in the last five years. It's a tragic story of loss but one that has been used to politicize immigration and fan the flames of anti-immigrant hate speech.
In 2014, her son, Brandon, was 32 years old and a police officer in Mesa, Arizona when he was killed by a drunk driver. The man behind the wheel had been living in the United States for 20 years but was undocumented. She has often said that if the border was "secure" her son wouldn't have been killed "by an illegal alien" who wasn't supposed to be in the country.
According to a copy of her planned remarks provided by the RNC before her cancellation, Mendoza would have said that the "driver who killed my son wasn't even supposed to be in our country, because he was an illegal alien with a criminal record…If our borders had been secure and if our justice system worked like it should have, Brandon would still be walking his beat."
Had Mendoza taken the stage, she would've shared a tragic story of loss but one that has been used to politicize immigration.
Trump has been inviting parents like Mendoza to his rallies since 2015, using their stories to send a message to American families: Be afraid—"illegal aliens" are killers and they'll come for your children. Often called "Angel Moms," Mendoza and other parents like her featured in Trump's events over the years, are part of The Remembrance Project, a "corporation founded" as a "voice for those killed by illegal aliens." Mendoza is also part of another organization, Angel Parents, that says its goal is "to bring illegal alien crimes to the forefront of politicians and American citizens."
Mendoza made an appearance at the 2016 Republican convention in Ohio where she shared the story of losing her son. "A vote for Hillary is putting all of our children's lives at risk," she told the crowd. It was the convention's first night, themed "Make America Safe Again." I was reporting from the arena in Cleveland and what I remember most are the incessant chants of "build the wall!" Thousands stomped their feet on the ground and clapped as they chanted. I can still remember the feeling of anger and rage in the room.
Tonight, Mendoza would have told the crowd that the Obama-Biden administration was responsible for "the dangerous catch-and-release program… a program that allowed Brandon's killer to avoid deportation for his previous crimes and up his game to murder."
That claim is one of many from Mendoza and Trump that equate immigrants, especially undocumented immigrants, with crime. However, studies and data have shown that immigrants are statistically less likely to commit crimes than US-born Americans.
Her speech, like many in the first two nights of the convention, would have put an emphasis on the importance of law enforcement and following the laws of this country. But the speech would have made no mention of Mendoza's connection to a group that the target of a high-profile fraud prosecution.
Mendoza's story is prominently featured in a promotional video for We Build The Wall, a private group that collected donations to build the a border wall after Trump had trouble convincing congress to authorize the funding he sought. Mendoza is listed on the website of the organization, which last week was the subject of a federal fraud prosecution alleging hundreds of thousands of people were defrauded into donating thinking their funds would go to build a wall between the United States and Mexico. Trump's former campaign chairman, Steve Bannon, and other right-wing activists were charged with money laundering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Records show Bannon took more than $1 million from the donations and bought himself, among other things, a golf cart, a boat, and cosmetic surgery.
Mary Ann Mendoza's prepared remarks:
My heart is forever broken . . . because our immigration system is broken.
I'm Mary Ann Mendoza. On May 12, 2014, my son, Sargent Brandon Mendoza of the Mesa Arizona Police Department was killed in a head on collision.
He was headed home from his shift, keeping our community safe.
The driver who killed my son was drunk—three times the legal limit—high on meth, and driving more than one hundred miles per hour . . . going the wrong way for more than 35 miles on Phoenix freeways.
The driver who killed my son wasn't even supposed to be in our country, because he was an illegal alien with a criminal record.
Brandon was a shining light in my life and our community. He truly made a difference in Mesa. As a modern day beat cop, he was well-known and well-liked. The neighborhood he patrolled and worked hard to rid of the illegal drug dealers, appreciated him making that neighborhood a safe-haven for families again.
In fact, his nickname was "Hollywood," because he truly shines like a star. The kids in the neighborhood loved him. Parents trusted him. Serving and protecting his community was his passion. It was his life's goal since he was thirteen.
Brandon's life represented the best of America. Sadly, his death represents some of the worst.
He didn't have to die. Not like this. Not now. If our borders had been secure and if our justice system worked like it should have, Brandon would still be walking his beat. Checking up on the kids. Waving to their parents. Keeping everyone safe.
Tragically, there are many others who have been lost needlessly: Brandon Michael, Carlos Wolff, Tierra Stansberry, Sander Cohen, Hailey King, Sarah Root, Ruben Morfin.
You can find out more about their stories, and how to preserve their legacies at angel families dot org.
President Donald Trump is the first political leader we've ever seen take on the radical Left to finally secure our border and to end illegal immigration since day one. I've met him many times and I know what's in his heart . . . I know what he hopes and dreams for this country.
Since he took office: more than 280 miles of southern border wall have been built, with more than 500 miles expected by early next year.
There has been a 78 percent decline in illegal border crossings since May of last year.
And President Trump put an end to Barack Obama's – and, notably, Joe Biden's – dangerous catch-and-release program . . . a program that allowed Brandon's killer to avoid deportation for his previous crimes and up his game to murder.
President Trump knows what it takes to make America great again.
He knows the formula for America's greatness is simple. It's everything Brandon represented:
Ensure law and order . . . and protect the vulnerable,
Give generously to your community,
Love your family, deeply,
And practice your faith.
Brandon's opportunity to contribute to America's greatness during his lifetime was cut short. But his spirit is alive, and his legacy will always be embedded in the fabric of America. I know it will always be on President Trump's mind and in his heart. He will never forget Brandon, and he will never stop fighting for us.
His record is clear and strong.
Appointing conservative judges who will uphold our laws and provide justice.
Safer communities without sanctuary policies that give refuge to illegal criminals.
Securing our borders so good-paying jobs – that provide financial security for families – go to Americans . . . not illegal aliens.
Supporting our Law Enforcement who help keep our neighborhoods safe.
This is the foundation for a bright future. A bright future for all of us . . . with greater opportunity, tremendous prosperity, and more peace.
A brighter future that President Trump will continue fighting for when we re-elect him on November third.
God Bless our Law enforcement officers.
God Bless our President.
And God Bless America.

Assuming the intake and combustion conditions are more or less equal, the same mass of stuff will leave the exhaust valve. So I'd expect a rather small change of density, instead pressure will rise with temperature. So it might be possible that the rise of pressure may override the increase of viscosity, I might have a look at the formulas later.
Such enhanced counterpressure might be advantageous for some rpm conditions but usually one likes to reduce counterpressure at a four stroke best as possible although some compromise may be very helpful for reasonable carb adjustment over rpms.
I share the concerns to reduce cooling (by covering header surfaces and thicken the tubes in front of the engine fins) at an airhead engine.
So like pods again something that makes sense for racing applications if you know what you do, but nothing to provide improvement in a simple way in any case.
Did you have to get new jets when you installed your pod filters?
Yes I had to put in bigger slow and main jets.
I mention the size in my build post which is reachable through my signature below.
Just as a relevant sidebar, another one of the reasons a lot of bikes have trouble with pods is not directly due to pods but due to insufficient modification of the carb set up. The small holes in the emulsion tube ( A.K.A. main jet holder ) are designed to help atomize the air/fuel mixture by bleeding air into the fuel flow. It also serves to "froth up" the mixture, so the entire fuel supply doesn't drop back down the jet during off-throttle times, such as reaching a corner apex. The frothing up allows some fuel to stay near the top of the fuel feed (picture frothed up milk hanging onto the straw). This allows quicker throttle pick-up with less hesitation because some fuel is still readily available.
More inportant, though, is the role the air bleeds serve at higher speeds. The air bleed was designed primarily to deal with the squared relationship of air velocity and air pressure. Air pressure drops as a square of the velocity: if air speed doubles, the air pressure drops by a square of the air speed. In other words, double the air speed and air pressure drops 4x.
What this means for a carburetor is that since air pressure decreases at a faster rate than the air speed increases, too much fuel will be delivered, resulting in a too-rich mixture at high engine speeds. The role of the air bleed is to supply enough additional air at higher speeds to offset this relationship, in order to lean out the air/fuel mixture. The air flow delivered to the main fuel jet is designed specifically for that particular fuel jet's size and design parameters.
When you install over- size main jets, you have to hope that the air bleed delivery device (be it an actual, threaded air jet or a simple drilled passageway) has the capacity to supply enough air to the emulsion tube to handle the extra fuel that the larger jet will theoretically pull; If not, you will be right back to the situation the carb designers originally worked to solve: an overly-rich mixture at higher speeds. When you start swapping out main fuel jets, you are changing the bike's fuel slope, which requires additional trial and error experimentation with the main air jet size and/or design.
So, a long-winded reminder that the fuel jets are only half the story; the correct air supply volume is also a critical component of a properly running bike.
So after reading the various posts on the forum, I've been re-designing my copper filter, the hardest part is finding the right velocity stacks that match the carb inlets (and smooth out the airflow) I also wanted a better way of securing the air-cleaner to the carbs as the pod filter rubbers are not up to the task.
In summary, in certain situations pods can be beneficial but overall, for street riding, they cause more problems than they cure. Pods look cool, they make carb removal and install much easier, but they are inferior to a well-designed air box. The manufacturers in the 70s and 80s weren't stupid, their marketing departments knew even back then that people loved the look of pods and if they could have fitted the bikes with pods without adversely affecting performance and ridability, they would have; they didn't because an airbox serves several important roles that pods can never handle.
super post.I had a 80 modelsuzuki gs 1000.The guy had thrown the stock airbox away,had pod filters on it.Jetting is really a trial and error.heavy on the error part.That bike ran great, but the hose clamps holding each filter on came loose a lot.The airbox is perfect for all the reasons you posted here.

Medigus: Charging Robotics to Release a Beta Version of its User Interface by the End of the Year
Medigus Ltd
The app will be released as part of the collaboration between Charging Robotics and Make My Day – a company specializing in electric vehicle fleet management.
Tel Aviv, Israel, Nov. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medigus Ltd. ("Company") (Nasdaq: MDGS), a technology company engaged in advanced medical solutions, innovative internet technologies, and electric vehicle ("EV") and charging solutions, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Charging Robotics Ltd., is anticipated to release a beta version of the user interface application ("app") for the wireless charging robot of Charging Robotics by the end of the year. The beta version of the user interface will be released as part of collaboration between Charging Robotics and Make My Day, a company that develops apps and services for EV fleet management and optimization of charging and battery usage.
Using the app developed by Make My Day, customers of Charging Robotics will be able to order the charging service offered by the robots, receive information about billing, receive driving instructions to the destination as well as receive real time data about the EV electricity consumption and battery state of charge.
The first product Charging Robotics will release will be a robot to automatically charge electric vehicles for disabled drivers. These drivers have an extreme difficulty to charge electric vehicles because the process of taking the cable from the charger and plugging it to the EV is very challenging for individuals using wheelchairs or suffering from other conditions impairing their mobility. With the dedicated Charging Robotics system, and by a tap in the app developed by Make My Day, the robot will automatically charge the vehicle.
This development will allow disabled drivers to effortlessly charge their vehicles and will significantly reduce the access areas around the charger required by currently available cable-based chargers. The system for charging EV of handicapped drivers is planned to start pilot tests during Q1 of 2023.
With several unique capabilities, the Make My Day app can be used as the user interface for Charging Robotics. The system includes driving navigations algorithms that take into account EV electricity consumption and battery charging status , such as that the planned driving route that will ensure optimal use of the battery. The system includes real time communication with certain types of vehicles that allow reading the battery charging status, which provides for an accurate plan of the driving route. The system includes a data base of all chargers in the area, so that the system can advise the driver to charge using the Charging Robotics system or systems of other charge point operators. The latter alternative opens the door to an affiliate-based revenue stream for charging robotics by sending drivers to use chargers of other operators.
"We enjoyed an excellent collaboration with Make My Day in developing this user interface and we are sure it will add great value to our users" said Hovav Gilan CEO of Charging Robotics.
About Charging Robotics
Charging Robotics is developing an automatic wireless charging system dedicated for public parking lots. The benefit of the robotic wireless charging system is that it will automatically align with high accuracy the energy transmitting device to the onboard energy receiving device thus allowing for very high charging efficiencies. The system will be fully automatic, thus eliminating the need for the driver to remove the car after charging is complete, which will increase the charger utilization and profits for the parking lot operator. Charing Robotics is a fully owned subsidiary of Medigus Ltd.

It's about that time when anyone and everyone migrates home for the holidays, wherever "home" may be. As magical as this time of year is, though, it can also present some difficulties in terms of keeping up with your workout routine. But worry not, my friends. There are workouts you can do in your room that'll help you coast right through the holidays with ease and feel amazing from the inside out in the process.
"Despite what you might think, you don't need tons of space to get a good, full-body, cardio and resistance workout," David Wiener, a training specialist for fitness app Freeletics, tells Elite Daily over email.
According to Wiener, effective HIIT and bodyweight training can be done anytime, anywhere, and an app like Freeletics can easily help you get the job done. The platform includes in-depth video tutorials and training instructions to guide you through hundreds of workouts, and demonstrate the proper training techniques and form along the way.
However, if you don't have access to Freeletics, don't sweat it (pun intended). Josh Morin, a strength and conditioning specialist and certified nutrition coach, has you covered with a home workout that'll challenge you from head to toe. "Perform each exercise for 45 seconds with 15-second breaks [in between]," he tells Elite Daily.
In total, Morin suggests performing four rounds of the following circuit, with a one- to two-minute break between each round. Happy sweating, fam!
"Start by standing with a slight bend in the knees and hands resting on your thighs," Morin explains. "Keeping the knees bent, open the arms and legs out to the sides."
Then, bring your arms above your head, and keep your legs wider than your shoulders before closing them and returning to your starting position.
"Basic high knees can be performed while running in place or moving over a distance," says Morin. For these high knees, though, the trainer suggests standing in place with your feet hip-width apart (small bedroom swag, amirite?).
Drive your right knee toward your chest before quickly placing it back on the ground for a classic high knee. "Follow immediately by driving your left knee toward your chest," the trainer says.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and place your hands behind your head. "This will be your starting position," says Morin.
Begin the movement by flexing your knees and hips, and sitting back with your hips. "Continue down to full depth if you are able, and quickly reverse the motion until you return to the starting position," Morin tells Elite Daily. "As you squat, keep your head and chest up and push your knees out."
Morin suggests using a weight here, but if you don't have one, a generally heavy object, like an old college textbook, could work — or you could go weightless, too! Whatever's best for you.
Anyway, here's how this one is done: Begin by standing upright with a tight core and a flat back, Morin tells Elite Daily. Then, extend your arms to chest level in front of you (while holding the weight, if you're including it in this workout).
"Step forward with one leg — your front thigh should be parallel with the floor," Morin explains. "Drop the back knee and rotate the torso toward the leg that stepped out while keeping arms extended."
Finish by pushing back up to the starting position.
Next, lie on the floor face-down, and place your hands outside the shoulders while holding your torso up at arm's length. This will be your set-up for push-ups.
"Lower yourself downward until your chest almost touches the floor as you inhale," Morin explains. "Now, breathe out and press your upper body back up to the starting position while squeezing your chest."
After a brief pause, the trainer says, at the top contracted position, you can begin to lower yourself down again for as many repetitions as you can handle. You got this, girl.
Get into a plank position with your hands about shoulder-width apart, your back flat, abs engaged, and head in alignment.
"From this position, pull the right knee into your chest as far as you can," says Morin. "Now, switch and bring the other knee in, running the knees in as far and as fast as you can while keeping the hips down."
Round things out with a plank, "planting the hands directly under the shoulders (slightly wider than shoulder-width apart), like you're about to do a push-up," Morin says.
Then, he explains, ground the toes into the floor and squeeze the glutes to stabilize your body. "Your legs should be working in the move, too (but be careful not to lock or hyperextend your knees)," Morin adds.
To finish, neutralize the neck and spine by looking at a spot on the floor about a foot beyond your hands. Your head should be in line with your back, says Morin.

S. Huntington project approved by City
by Rebeca Oliveira • November 23, 2012 • 0 Comments
The City Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) voted last week to approve the variances requested by the developers of the luxury apartment project at 161 S. Huntington Ave. in the midst of great community opposition.
That, along with the expected approval from the Parks Commission this week, were the last steps in approving the project. The Parks Commission review is triggered by the project's proximity to the historic Jamaicaway. The Parks Commission hearing was scheduled for Nov. 19, after the Gazette's deadline.
The seven-member ZBA vote to allow the Boston Residential Group to create 196 units consisting of studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom units in a four- to five-story building on the current site of the Home for Little Wanderers was unanimous.
"This is an exciting opportunity for us to provide much needed rental housing in Boston and help The Home for Little Wanderers divest of the property and significantly add to their capital campaign," Curtis Kemeny, president and CEO of Boston Residential Group, said in a press release.
"What can I say? The city doesn't care about opposition from the neighborhood," JP resident and Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council member Red Burrows told the Gazette following the meeting at City Hall. "[But] I am pleased they added more affordable housing."
"I am shocked," JP resident and Neighborhood Council member Martha Rodriguez said. "It makes me feel that as a community, we're insignificant. We're not powerful enough."
About 20 people spoke for and against the project during the hearing before comments were stopped due to time constraints.
Local union representatives who supported the jobs the project will create made most of the positive comments. Most of the negative comments were made by members of the JP community who rejected the project on grounds of density, the building's height and changing the historic characteristic of the street and JP as a whole.
Variances were granted to allow a height of 65 feet in a 45-foot-height zone, building of a partially-underground garage and higher number of units than would otherwise be allowed.
City Councilor Mike Ross, who represents Mission Hill, appeared in person to state his support for the project. Mission Hill Neighborhood Housing Services also voted to support the project.
"We're excited to welcome new residents, not transient workers, to the neighborhood," Ross said, adding that opponents to the project should be proud of the increase in affordable units, which was caused by their involvement.
A representative from City Councilor Matt O'Malley stated that O'Malley also supported the project because of its affordable units and because the developer "listened to the community."
The project was originally proposed to include 26 affordable units, a number that was first increased to 30 before it was finally raised to 33, though the community was not told of the last change before the hearing.
The development team presented the final tally as "20 percent" of the units being affordable. Thirty-three units actually represent less than 17 percent of the building's units.
"This is smart growth. Change is a reality in city life," Larry DiCara, the attorney for the project and a JP resident, said during the hearing. "It will become a residential anchor for S. Huntington."
A change.org petition started by a JP resident, asking Mayor Thomas Menino to halt the development's process, is still garnering signatures. As of last week, it had 329 names, over 250 of which were added in the previous week, said organizer Thomas Nolan.
"Politicians are ignoring the concerns of people living here," Nolan said. "[This project] is going to change the face of what we cherish about Jamaica Plain. We don't have that kind of luxury housing. It's anathema. It's an aberration."
Nolan plans to continue collecting signatures.
The official ZBA calendar did not have the hearing last week listed nor did it send the Gazette a written notice. In fact, the online calendar for the ZBA on the City's website is completely empty. By law, government meetings must be publicly advertised at least 48 hours ahead of time.
The $75 million project is expected to generate approximately 200 union construction jobs and 10 permanent jobs and will be ready for occupancy in the spring of 2014.

CSB Links Fatal Explosion to Failed Piping at Texas Chemical Manufacturer
The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board has released a preliminary report that identifies a failed piping component as the proximate cause of the April 2 explosion at the KMCO chemical manufacturing plant in Crosby, Texas. One worker died in the accident and at least thirty others were injured, including two workers who received second- and third-degree burns.
The failed component, known as a "y-strainer," resulted in a leak of isobutylene, a highly flammable, colorless gas used in the production of products such as aviation fuel, packaging, and plastics. According to CSB, the Crosby plant uses isobutylene in a process to manufacture lubrication additives and other chemicals.
The CSB report states that on the morning of the accident an operator was walking by a reactor used to produce sulfurized isobutylene when he heard a loud "pop" followed by a hissing sound. A vapor cloud of isobutylene formed, found an ignition source, and exploded, destroying a building at the plant. Members of the community within a one-mile radius of the plant were advised to shelter in place.
An autopsy determined that the deceased worker was killed by shrapnel from the explosion.
CSB did not indicate when it expects to complete its investigation.

Generative Art Dailies
----------------------

I've decided that the best way to learn Generative Art is to do daily sketches - and since I want to give back a little of what I'm learning, I'm releasing them here.

You can find screenshots, videos and executables for Windows at the weekly roundups at my blog:
 * http://blog.dragonlab.de/2015/03/generative-art-week-1
 * http://blog.dragonlab.de/2015/03/generative-art-week-2
 * http://blog.dragonlab.de/2015/03/generative-art-week-3
 * http://blog.dragonlab.de/2015/04/generative-art-week-4

If you want to load the sketches yourself and be able to modify them, you will need [Processing](https://processing.org).

Most sketches you can just open and run. If it complains about missing libraries, you can add them in the menu under: Sketch->Import Library->Add Library. Libraries I've used:
 * Ani
 * ControlP5

*A note of caution: This source code is neither clean nor optimized nor documented. I've experimented a lot and often didn't clean up afterwards - doing a sketch daily is already a pretty big time commitment. Treat it as you would treat game jam/hackathon code.*

HDPE Thermoplaste
HDPE Thermoplastic
HDPE - High Density Polyethylene
High density polyethylene (HDPE) was invented by Karl Ziegler of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (today Max Planck Institute) and Erhard Holzkamp in 1953. They used catalysts and low pressure, which was the basis for the composition of many polyethylene compounds. In 1955 the first HDPE pipe was produced. In 1963, Ziegler was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his concept of HDPE.
LDPE belongs, like HDPE, to the group of polyolefins and is a semi-crystalline polymer, produced by polymerization of ethylene with the aid of catalysts. HDPE is one of the most important plastic materials in use today. In 2007 the HDPE-global market achieved a volume of more than 30 millon tons and the growth was especially attributed to the packing and building industries.
HDPE is the type of polyethylene with the greatest strength and the least flexibility. HDPE may be used for a broad range of applications, like for instance organic waste containers, and for a multitude of everyday household goods, like clothespins, brushes, bottle caps, bottles, milk jugs etc. Despite the fact that HDPE is quite heavy, it may be used for the production of sliver-thin plastic sheets, like the ones used for food packing. Also liner sheets, water pipes and gas lines are important examples for the usage of HDPE. Another benefit of HDPE is that it is nontoxic and recyclable and is therefore increasingly used as an alternative to less environmentally acceptable materials.
HDPE Properties
Mass density of HDPE is within a range of 0.93 to 0.97 g/cm³. The density of HDPE is insignificantly higher than that of LDPE, but HDPE shows little branching, which results in stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength compared to LDPE. HDPE is tougher than LDPE and resistant to bases, acids, vegetable oils, alcohol and continuous heat of approx. 110 degrees Celsius. It is almost unbreakable and features superior impact strength, abrasion resistance, pressure resistance and minimal deterioration. HDPE shows good cutting capabilities, supports noncutting processing and provides excellent machinability and self-lubricating properties. HDPE insulates very well and maintains its properties even at very low temperatures.
HDPE Applications
HDPE was commercially produced for the first time in 1956, but one toy initiated its break-through at the end of the 1950s – the hula hoop. This has led to the production of big volumes of extruded HDPE-pipes for applications like gas and sewer lines. Blow-molded bottles for detergents, baby bottles, plastic sheet packing and household goods like Tupperware have been the primal products made of HDPE. High density plastic bags are omnipresent since the conception of supermarkets.
Thermoforming applications for HDPE can be divided into two groups: one, which requires exceptional melt strength, stress-crack resistance and toughness, and the other group where conventional HDPE may be used. To avoid webbing problems with large HDPE-parts, good melt strength is required. HDPE resins with an Extra High Molecular Weight (EHMW) should therefore be used.
Other commonly used thermoplastics
ABS Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
LDPE Low Density Polyethylene
PC Polycarbonate
PET Polyethylene terephthalate
PMMA Polymethyl methacrylate
PP Polypropylene
PS Polysytrene
PVC Polyvinyl chloride

Q: How to access child property in Vue js topmenu/script.js
module.exports = {
    components: {
        'topmenuSearch': require('vue').extend(require('./topmenu-search/component.vue'))
    }
}

/topmenu/template.html

/topmenu/topmenu-search/script.js
module.exports = {
    data: function(){
        return {
            results: [],
            searchValue: '',
            searching: false
        }
    }
}

In console I get
build.js:3008 [Vue warn]: Error when evaluating expression "topmenuSearch.searching": TypeError: Cannot read property 'searching' of undefined (found in component: <topmenu>)

How can I access the topmenuSearch child so I can do this thing?

A: Are you using Vueify? I'm a bit confused by how you are organizing your files here. https://github.com/vuejs/vueify
What we need to see is your templates.  It looks like you have a topmenu component and a topmenu-search component, so the template for topmenu should look something like this:
<template>

    <topmenu-search></topmenu-search>

</template>

Just because you declare the component doesn't mean it exists.  Adding it to your template creates the element.  Then you can use v-ref to access it's data inside topmenu:
<topmenu-search v-ref:search></topmenu-search>

A comparison of different procedures relating to parameter estimation in extreme value type 1 distribution through simulation

EV I(2) distribution
Moment estimator
The extreme value (EV) distribution is widely used for fitting and analyzing a long range of data emanated from different real-life situations. Annual maximum water-flow data collected from a river over a considerable period of time (say, about 30 years) are found to follow the EV distribution very satisfactorily. Also the distribution of annual maximum rainfall data in a region closely follows the EV distribution. Thus these distributions have important applications in the works related to the flood frequency estimation/estimation of return period flood. The estimation of parameters from these types of data (data following the EV type I with two parameters, EV I(2), distribution) has important use in the field of hydrology to understand the situation more deeply. Here an investigation is made through simulation for several pairs of values of a and b (parameters of the EV I(2) distribution) using different sample sizes in order to compare the accuracy of maximum likelihood method as well as method of moments in estimating the original parameters (the pairs of values of a and b for which the simulation is done). A module is developed in SAS/IML which deals with a random number generation in the EV I(2) distribution and the subsequent estimation of parameters with method of moments and maximum likelihood method. It is found that when the parameter value of a is less than or equal to 0.5, the method of moments produce more accurate estimators of the parameters than the corresponding maximum likelihood estimators for large samples (250 or more). An error distribution investigation with respect to the parameters is also made with CAPABILITY and QQPLOT procedures in SAS/QC. It is found that when the sample size is small (10, 100, etc.) the error distribution follows near normality but with the increase in sample sizes (200, 300, etc.) the error distribution gradually deviates much away from normality. Some procedures in SAS/BASE and SAS/STAT are used in the calculation leading to the final results.

Home > The Italian job - Reggae Girlz seek crucial FIFA World Cup Group C win against Europeans
Published:Friday | June 14, 2019 | 12:00 AMAndrÈ Lowe/Sports Editor [1]
REIMS, France:
When Jamaica face Italy today at the Stade Auguste-Delaun, in their second ever match at the FIFA Women's World Cup, there is the feeling that a lot more than a place in the Round of 16 is at stake.
The Jamaicans will need to pick up a positive result against the Italians if they are to continue harbouring hopes of extending their stay in France beyond next Tuesday's final group game against Australia.
However, for the Girlz, this is just a part of the objective here at the World Cup.
Of equal, or perhaps greater importance, is their ambition to have a positive impact on the sport's growth among females back home. Getting points against a traditional footballing powerhouse, fresh off a statement 2-1 win over Australia in their opening game, will not be an easy task for the Jamaicans, but as the build-up to today's clash hit a crescendo yesterday, it was quite clear that the Reggae Girlz and those closest to them were well aware of the rich value of their performances here.
"In Jamaica, the two main sports that women play are track and field and netball," said Italy-based Jamaican defender Allyson Swaby, who herself started out away from the football field, playing netball.
SLOWLY BUT SURELY
"It's a cultural thing, it is what has been accepted, or what was accepted first, and right now, we are working to bring acceptance to women's football," Swaby added. "Every time we go back to Jamaica, we fill those stands a little bit more, and this proves that we are getting a job done – slowly but surely. The more our faces are out there and the more people can see that we are doing this, that it's a career and not a hobby, the more accepting people will become of it."
A win or draw against the Italians will certainly help as well.
Jamaica are desperate to get the party started on their FIFA Women's World Cup debut after a largely flat showing in their opening match against Brazil, resulting in a 3-0 loss. The Brazilians yesterday fell 3-2 to Australia, meaning that every team in Group C, except Jamaica, is on three points ahead of today's contest.
Head coach Hue Menzies, while underlining the importance of the Girlz's appearance and performance in France towards the lifting the women's football programme in Jamaica, is approaching the game with calm, and seemed quite certain that his team is ready to turn in an impressive performance against Le Azzurre.
TIME TO CHANGE
"… Culturally, we have an issue (women's football)," Menzies said. "It's our time to change that. That's why we are here and, hopefully, when we go back to Jamaica, that whole aspect of women playing will change, and that's one of the main things that (sponsor) Cedella (Marley) wanted to change – the whole mindset of how people perceive women's football."
The Italians are yet to lose a match in 2019, winning eight of their 10 games played this year while conceding only nine goals and helping themselves to 27.
Menzies is well aware of their strengths but remains confident that the Jamaicans can come good against the Europeans and is expecting them to react to the defeat against Brazil after the adjustments that have made.
"Without giving too much away, obviously, they (Italians) are very disciplined. They are typical Italians. They know how to protect their box. They do a really good job of identifying dangerous areas and, hopefully, we can exploit those areas. The number 11 (Barbara Bonansea) up top is a fantastic player. We think she is dynamic. She can play on either side of the pitch, so obviously, we have to keep our eyes on her. I do think, though, that they have some areas that we can exploit with our athleticism. So hopefully, we will have a good game against them," Menzies said.
Swaby, the AS Roma defender added: "We know that they will want to possess the ball and that they will be very compact from top to bottom, so for us it is important to capitalise on any chances and opportunities that we get. We don't know how many there will be, but we have to make sure that we are efficient and also limit their chances."
Following the opening game, the coach pointed to a lack of enterprise in his midfield and singled out second-half substitute Chinyelu Asher for her injection of energy into the engine room on her introduction. The 26-year-old is certainly a strong candidate for a start against the Italians as the Jamaicans look to turn a few knobs and get their campaign going in France's north.
Swaby believes that the team is revved up and ready to show their abilities against Italy, having become more comfortable with the environment of a FIFA World Cup fixture and after assessing their performance and identifying their mistakes.
"I definitely think we are more comfortable now because a lot of the errors that we made we were able to see on tape and they are fixable. They are nothing that we can't control. So being able to look back and see a lot of the things that led to our downfall will give us confidence moving forward," Swaby said.
There is a minor doubt around captain Konya Plummer, who picked up a knock and who is, of course, on a yellow card from the Brazil game.
Meanwhile, Italy's head coach Milena Bertolini says their focus is to make it through to the next round, and they are aware of the dangers posed by Jamaica.
"The players all look focused, and they know it is important to stay switched on. The next game is always the hardest game, and this game is a potential banana skid. It's easy to take Jamaica for granted, but our target is the next round, and we will not make that mistake," said Bertolini.
Captain Sara Gama added: "This game is crucial against a team that is very quick and physical. They have significant individual talent, and we will need to show up technically and tactically to come out on top. We don't want to run the risk of underestimating. We have already won a match, but we want to keep winning if we are to make it to the Round of 16."

A 10-minute bike ride will take you to Tipta Path, a 200-meter wide waterway created in between corals, midway between Tipta Village and Apator Village, where the hotel is located. The ocean and the lagoon intersect at this waterway, creating a complicated current, attracting various sea creatures in search of rich plankton. This makes Tipta Path one of the world's best diving spots where encounters with large sea creatures such as the manta ray, Napoleon Fish and hammerhead sharks are almost guaranteed. Another must see spectacle at Tipta Path is the wild dolphins jumping out of the water - watch them playing with the waves in the strong evening current.
Spend your day on an excursion to enjoy the expansive lagoon - 200km in perimeter - of Rangiroa coral in its entirety.
The most popular destination is the breathtaking Blue Lagoon, a one-hour boat ride from Rangiroa Island. Motu, a small island, and its palm trees surround the shallow ocean, giving it an illusion of a small lagoon within a lagoon. Other excursion destinations include the Pink Sand Beach with salmon pink sand reef, Reef Island with coral fossils and tide pool – choose from a range of activities to get closer to the amazing nature of Rangiroa.
Rangiroa Island is known as one of the world's best diving points. The ocean is calm year-round; encounters with dolphins, manta rays and grey sharks await divers. For the guests' convenience, the TOP DIVE Rangiroa dive shop is inside the hotel and the boat to the diving point takes off from the hotel's dock. The dive shop holds four Fun Diving courses daily based on diving levels - divers can choose from a wide range of courses such as PADI advanced course and diving lessons for beginners.
A truly unforgettable diving experience: countless encounters with sea creatures in an underwater world with incredible clarity like no other.
Go snorkeling to meet the vivid fish of Rangiora Island. The hotel offers complimentary snorkeling sets for rental, perfect for jumping right into the lagoon to swim with the colorful tropical fish. Chance are, you will encounter manta rays, dolphins and sharks while snorkeling. Quickly gathering popularity is the 'Drift Snorkeling' at Tipta Path – an activity unique to Rangiroa Island – take in the beautiful underwater world while drifting with the current, no swimming involved.
Apator Village, where the hotel is located, is connected by one road. This is a perfect road to rent a bike to go on a leisurely ride around the island. As you approach the center of Apator Village from the hotel, you will see restaurants, shops and churches - get a glimpse into the simple everyday life on the island. The happy and friendly people of Rangiroa are sure to greet you with a smile everywhere you go.
Wednesdays and Sundays are days for enjoying Polynesian Dance and BBQ buffet. Music and dance are integral part of the Tahitian people – they dance to drums, guitars and the rhythm and beat of the ukulele. Be entertained by the array of local dance and song of Rangiroa Island, the powerful Polynesian dance and song, the elegant hula dance and more.
