Properties of engineering materials General Physical Properties
Density Density is one of the most fundamental physical properties of any material. It is defined as the ratio of an objects mass to its volume. Because most designs are limited by either size and or weight density is an important consideration in many calculations. Density is a function of the mass of the atoms making up the materials and the distance between them. Massive, closely packed atoms characterize high density materials such as Tungsten or Neptunium. In contrast light, relatively distant atoms compose low density materials such as Beryllium or Aluminum. Density on a macroscopic level is also a function of the microscopic structure of a material. A relatively dense material may be capable of forming a cellular structure such as a foam which can be nearly as strong and much less dense than the bulk material. Composites including natural constituents such as wood and bone, for example, generally rely on microscopic structure to achieve densities far lower than common monolithic materials.
Availability/Manufacturability Availability and manufacturability requirements are often unseen limiting factors in materials selection. The importance of a material being available is obvious. Materials which are not available cannot be used. The importance of processing is not always so obvious. Any other desirable qualities are useless if a material cannot be processed into the shape required to perform its function. Most engineering materials in use today have well known substitutes which would perform better and often at lower cost but processes for forming, cutting, machining, joining, etc. are not available or commercially viable. There is often a period of time after a new material is introduced during which its application is severely limited while processing techniques are developed which facilitate its use.
Cost A materials cost is also generally a limiting factor. While cost is universally recognized and perhaps the easiest of all properties to understand there are specific cost considerations for materials selection. Just as materials and their processing go hand in hand so do material costs and processing costs. Understanding the entire processing sequence is critical to accurately evaluating the true cost of a material.
Appearance Because the appearance of many mechanical components seems fairly trivial it is also easy to overlook its importance in the marketing and commercial success of a product.
The mechanical properties of a material describe how it will react to physical forces. Mechanical properties occur as a result of the physical properties inherent to each material, and are determined through a series of standardized mechanical tests. Strength Strength has several definitions depending on the material type and application. Before choosing a material based on its published or measured strength it is important to understand the manner in which strength is defined and how it is measured. When designing for strength, material class and mode of loading are important considerations. For metals the most common measure of strength is the yield strength. For most polymers it is more convenient to measure the failure strength, the stress at the point where the stress strain curve becomes obviously non-linear. Strength, for ceramics however, is more difficult to define. Failure in ceramics is highly dependent on the mode of loading. The typical failure strength in compression is fifteen times the failure strength in tension. The more common reported value is the compressive failure strength. Elastic limit The elastic limit is the highest stress at which all deformation strains are fully recoverable. For most materials and applications this can be considered the practical limit to the maximum stress a component can withstand and still function as designed. Beyond the elastic limit permanent strains are likely to deform the material to the point where its function is impaired. Proportional limit The proportional limit is the highest stress at which stress is linearly proportional to strain. This is the same as the elastic limit for most materials. Some materials may show a slight deviation from proportionality while still under recoverable strain. In these cases the proportional limit is preferred as a maximum stress level because deformation becomes less predictable above it. Yield Strength The yield strength is the minimum stress which produces permanent plastic deformation. This is perhaps the most common material property reported for structural materials because of the ease and relative accuracy of its measurement. The yield strength is usually defined at a specific amount of plastic strain, or offset, which may vary by material and or specification. The offset is the amount that the stress-strain curve deviates from the linear elastic line. The most common offset for structural metals is 0.2%. Ultimate Tensile Strength The ultimate tensile strength is an engineering value calculated by dividing the maximum load on a material experienced during a tensile test by the initial cross section of the test sample. When viewed in light of the other tensile test data the ultimate tensile strength helps to provide a good indication of a material's toughness but is not by itself a useful design limit. Conversely this can be construed as the minimum stress that is necessary to ensure the failure of a material.
True Fracture Strength The true fracture strength is the load at fracture divided by the cross sectional area of the sample. Like the ultimate tensile strength the true fracture strength can help an engineer to predict the behavior of the material but is not itself a practical strength limit. Because the tensile test seeks to standardize variables such as specimen geometry, strain rate and uniformity of stress it can be considered a kind of best case scenario of failure. Ductility Ductility is a measure of how much deformation or strain a material can withstand before breaking. The most common measure of ductility is the percentage of change in length of a tensile sample after breaking. This is generally reported as % El or percent elongation. The R.A. or reduction of area of the sample also gives some indication of ductility. Toughness Toughness describes a material's resistance to fracture. It is often expressed in terms of the amount of energy a material can absorb before fracture. Tough materials can absorb a considerable amount of energy before fracture while brittle materials absorb very little. Neither strong materials such as glass nor very ductile materials such as taffy can absorb large amounts of energy before failure. Toughness is not a single property but rather a combination of strength and ductility. The toughness of a material can be related to the total area under its stress-strain curve. A comparison of the relative magnitudes of the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and percent elongation of different material will give a good indication of their relative toughness. Materials with high yield strength and high ductility have high toughness. Integrated stress-strain data is not readily available for most materials so other test methods have been devised to help quantify toughness. The most common test for toughness is the Charpy impact test. In crystalline materials the toughness is strongly dependent on crystal structure. Face centered cubic materials are typically ductile while hexagonal close packed materials tend to be brittle. Body centered cubic materials often display dramatic variation in the mode of failure with temperature. In many materials the toughness is temperature dependent. Generally materials are more brittle at lower temperatures and more ductile at higher temperatures. The temperature at which the transition takes place is known as the DBTT, or ductile to brittle transition temperature. The DBTT is measured by performing a series of Charpy impact tests at various temperatures to determine the ranges of brittle and ductile behavior. Use of alloys below their transition temperature is avoided due to the risk of catastrophic failure. Fatigue ratio The dimensionless fatigue ratio f is the ratio of the stress required to cause failure after a specific number of cycles to the yield stress of a material. Fatigue tests are generally run through 107 or 108 cycles. A high fatigue ratio indicates materials which are more susceptible to crack growth during cyclic loading. Loss coefficient The loss coefficient is another important material parameter in cyclic loading. It is the fraction of mechanical energy lost in a stress strain cycle. The loss coefficient for each material is a function of the frequency of the cycle. A high loss coefficient can be desirable for damping vibrations while a low loss coefficient transmits energy more efficiently. The loss coefficient is also an important factor in resisting fatigue failure. If the loss coefficient is too high, cyclic loading will dissipate energy into the material leading to fatigue failure.
Thermal Properties
Thermal conductivity The thermal conductivity is the rate of heat transfer through a material in steady state. It is not easily measured, especially for materials with low conductivity but reliable data is readily available for most common materials. Thermal diffusivity The thermal diffusivity is a measure of the transient heat flow through a material. Specific heat The specific heat is a measure of the amount of energy required to change the temperature of a given mass of material. Specific heat is measured by calorimetric techniques and is usually reported both as CV, the specific heat measured at constant pressure, or CP, the specific heat measured at constant pressure. Melting point The melting point is the temperature at which a material goes from the solid to the liquid state at one atmosphere. The melting temperature is not usually a design criteria but it offers important clues to other material properties. Glass transition temp The glass transition temperature, or T g is an important property of polymers. The glass transition temperature is a temperature range which marks a change in mechanical behavior. Above the glass transition temperature a polymer will behave like a ductile solid or highly viscous liquid. Below T g the material will behave as a brittle solid. Depending on the desired properties materials may be used both above and below their glass transition temperature. Thermal expansion coefficient The thermal expansion coefficient is the amount a material will change in dimension with a change in temperature. It is the amount of strain due to thermal expansion per degree Kelvin expressed in units of K -1. For isotropic materials is the same in all directions, anisotropic materials have separate "s reported for each direction which is different. Thermal shock resistance Thermal shock resistance is a measure of how large a change in temperature a material can withstand without damage. Thermal shock resistance is very important to most high temperature designs. Measurements of thermal shock resistance are highly subjective because if is extremely process dependent. Thermal shock resistance is a complicated function of heat transfer, geometry and material properties. The temperature range and the shape of the part play a key role in the material's ability to withstand thermal shock. Tests must be carefully designed to mimic anticipated service conditions to accurately asses the thermal shock resistance of a material. Creep resistance Creep is slow, temperature aided, time dependent deformation. Creep is typically a factor in materials above one third of their absolute melting temperature or two thirds of their glass transition temperature. Creep resistance is an important material property in high temperature design, but it is difficult to quantify with a single value. Creep response is a function of many material and external variables, including stress and temperature. Often other environmental factors such as oxidation or corrosion play a role in the fracture process.
Creep is plotted as strain vs. time. A typical creep curve shows three basic regimes. During stage I, the primary or transient stage, the curve begins at the initial strain, with a relatively high slope or strain rate which decreased throughout stage I until a steady state is reached. Stage II, the steady state stage, is generally the longest stage and represents most of the response. The strain rate again begins to increase in stage III and rupture at t R generally follows quickly. Different applications call for different creep responses. In situations where long life is desired minimum creep rate is the most important material consideration. Testing through stage II should be sufficient for determining minimum creep rate. Is not necessary to proceed all the way to rupture. For this type of test the longer the test the more accurate the creep rate will be. Unfortunately practicality limits most creep tests to times shorter than would be desirable for high accuracy. For short lived applications such as rocket nozzles the time to failure may be the only consideration. The main issue is whether or not the component fails, not the amount of deformation it may undergo. For this application creep tests may be run to completion but without recording any data but the time to rupture. In this case temperatures may be elevated above expected conditions to provide a margin of safety. The main objective of a creep test is to study the effects of temperature and stress on the minimum creep rate and the time to rupture. Creep testing is usually run by placing a sample under a constant load at a fixed temperature. The data provided from a complete creep test at a specific temperature, T, and stress includes three creep constants: the dimensionless creep exponent, n, the activation energy Q, and A, a kinetic factor.

Excerpt Politics
Narendra Modi's shadow lies all over the Haren Pandya case
Vinod K Jose

On 5 July, the Supreme Court upheld a Gujarat trial court's verdict convicting 12 people accused of the murder of Haren Pandya, a former Gujarat home minister. Pandya, a Bharatiya Janata Party leader and a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, was killed in Ahmedabad on 26 March 2003. The trial court's conviction, on 25 June 2007, had been reversed by the Gujarat high court on 29 August 2011. In a scathing indictment of the investigation, the agencies responsible and the lower court, the high court had acquitted all the accused of the murder charges and termed the trial court's verdict as "perverse and illegal." The high court's judgement noted that the investigation had been "botched up and blinkered" and "misdirected." It also came down heavily on the investigating officers and recommended that the "concerned ought to be held accountable for their inaptitude resulting into injustice, huge harassment of many persons concerned and enormous waste of public resources and public time of the courts."
Following the high court's acquittals, the Central Bureau of Investigation and the state government—then led by Narendra Modi—challenged the verdict in the Supreme Court. Notably, the CBI investigation was helmed by YC Modi, an Indian Police Services officer, who was appointed as the head of the National Investigation Agency in September 2017 by the Modi government at the centre. Along with the appeals, the Supreme Court bench comprising Arun Mishra and Vineet Saran also heard a public-interest litigation filed by the non-profit Centre for Public Interest Litigation, which sought a fresh court-monitored probe in the Pandya murder case.
The CPIL's petition stated that "new pieces of information that have come to light regarding the possibility of IPS officers, including DG Vanzara, being involved in the conspiracy to kill Pandya." This new information was the testimony of Azam Khan in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case on 3 November last year. Khan was an associate of Sheikh and a key witness in the case, in which Vanzara was among the prime accused. Vanzara is a former deputy inspector-general of Gujarat Police and has been implicated in multiple cases of extra-judicial killings in Gujarat, under Modi's watch, between September 2002 and December 2006. In his testimony before a Mumbai court, Khan claimed that "during discussion with Sohrabuddin, he told me that he, along with Naeem Khan and Shahid Rampuri, got the contract to kill … Haren Pandya of Gujarat." According to Khan, Sohrabuddin told him that "the contract was given to him by Vanzara." Khan's testimony led to speculation that Pandya's murder and Shiekh's encounter killing in 2005 could be related.
In the following extract from "The Emperor Uncrowned," a profile of Narendra Modi in The Caravan's March 2012 issue, Vinod K Jose, the executive editor of the publication, charts the complex dynamics of Pandya's relationship with Modi—first, as a senior leader who refused to accommodate Modi's ambitions, and then, as a rebel minister who spoke against Modi in the aftermath of the 2002 anti-Muslim pogroms in the state.
A tall and handsome Brahmin with a fine RSS pedigree and excellent connections in the media, Pandya was a formidable political rival for Modi within the state BJP. The two clashed publicly for the first time in 2001, when Modi was in search of a safe assembly seat to contest after his appointment as CM. He wanted to run from Pandya's constituency, Ellisbridge in Ahmedabad—a very safe seat for the BJP. But Pandya refused to yield to Modi's wishes. As a state BJP functionary recalled, "Haren said, 'Ask me to vacate my seat for a young man in the BJP—I'll do it. But not for that fellow.'"
Vinod K Jose is the executive editor of The Caravan.

The seedings for Friday's Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) draw were approved by the Confederation of African Football's (Caf) executive committee meeting in Cairo on Thursday' with Bafana Bafana drawn in Pot 3.
This means the South Africans – qualifiying for their second Nations Cup out of three having reached Equatorial Guinea 2015' but bombed out of Gabon 2017 – will be drawn in a group of four with two strong' higher-ranked teams.
The two top sides in each of the six groups qualify for the last-16 at Egypt 2019 in June and July' plus the four best runners-up.
Friday night's draw at the Pyramids in Cairo will divide the 24 finalists. It starts at 8pm SA time.
South Africa Football Association (Safa) president Danny Jordaan and Bafana Bafana team manager Barney Kujane will attend the draw as South African representatives.
South Africa were drawn with Uganda' Benin' Mauritania' Madagascar and Kenya in Pot 3.
Hosts Egypt will take up place A1 in the draw with holders Cameroon' Senegal' Tunisia' Nigeria and Morocco also in the top-seeded Pot 1.
Every soccer supporter worth his salt harbours hopes that Bafana Bafana will reclaim a place at the top table of African and world football.
The second pot is made up of Democratic Republic of Congo' Ghana' Mali' Cote d'Ivoire' Guinea and Algeria.
Pot 4 has Zimbabwe' Namibia' Guinea-Bissau' Angola' Tanzania and Burundi.
A dream draw for Bafana would be something like Morocco' Guinea and Tanzania. A nightmare would go along the lines of Egypt' Ghana and Zimbabwe.
The 2019 Afcon runs from June 21 to July 19.

Junior Brianna Wilson (Lowell, Mass./Lowell) led three UMass Lowell players in double-figures with 23 points as she made 10-of-19 shots from the field and converted 3-of-4 free-throws to go with three rebounds, three steals and two assists. Senior Sha'nay Bushner (Akron, Ohio/Kenmore) added 11 points, a game-high nine rebounds (five offensive), three steals and two assists, while sophomore Danielle DePierro (Tewksbury, Mass./Tewksbury Memorial) finished with ten points.
Sophomore Mary Louise Dixon (Wellesley, Mass./Wellesley) matched her season-high with 23 points for Stonehill, shooting 8-for-13 from the field, including 3-of-4 from three-point range, while converting 4-of-5 free-throws, to go with five rebounds and two assists. Classmate Asia Ewing (Westford, Mass./Westford Academy) added 14 points, shooting 6-for-11 from the field, draining her lone three-point and free-throw attempts, and a team-high matching seven rebounds. Senior Tania Williams (South Setauket, N.Y./Ward-Melville) contributed nine points, seven boards (four offensive) and three steals, while freshman Tori Faieta (Lynn, Mass./Saint Mary's) chipped in nine points, seven boards, two assists and two blocks in 22 minutes off the bench.
UMass Lowell finished shooting 50-percent (31-for-62) from the field, including 52% (13-25) in the opening half, while converting just 10-of-15 (66.7%) free-throws. The River Hawks enjoyed a 31-17 advantage in points off turnovers, taking advantage of 23 giveaways for Stonehill, while turning the ball over 17 times themselves. Stonehill posted a 35-33 rebounding edge, but UML outscored the Skyhawks 17-9 in second chance points.
Stonehill shot 60-percent (15-for-25) from the field in the second half, after converting at just 35.5% (11-13) in the opening frame, to finish shooting 46.4% (26-56) for the night. The Skyhawks converted 6-of-13 (46.2%) three-pointers, including 3-for-4 (75%) in the second half, and made 14-of-18 (77.8%) free-throws, with the turnovers proving costly.
UMass Lowell built double-digit leads early in each half and held off Stonehill rallies down the stretch in each frame to pull out the win. The River Hawks led by ten (12-2) after a three-pointer from junior Erika Sjoberg (Stockholm, Sweden) 4:19 into the contest. Stonehill drew even at 14-14 after a three-ball from sophomore Abbey Lalime (Orleans, Vt./Lake Region Union) with 11:13 left in the half.
UMass Lowell worked its lead back to five (27-22) following a Bushner layup with 3:24 left, but Stonehill drew even (27-27) after a put back from Faieta with 2:04 left, and then took its first lead (28-27) when Dixon made one of two at the line with 1:24 remaining. However, UMass Lowell took the lead into the lockerroom on Wilson's jumper with 1:16 to play.
UMass Lowell quickly regained a nine point advantage (41-32) after layup from junior Brianna Calver (Shelby, Ohio/Shelby) less than four minutes into the second half. The River Hawks worked the lead up to a game-high 12 (51-39) after another layup from Calver with 11:54 remaining.
Stonehill drew back within five (51-46) at the midway point of the half after back to back jumpers from Williams, but UMass Lowell quickly regained an 11 point cushion (59-48) with a three-point play from Bushner with 7:45 remaining.
Stonehill rallied again, pulling even for the fourth time (61-61) with a pair of free-throws by freshman Jamie Panton (Essex Junction, Vt./Essex) with 5:05 to play, taking advantage of getting into the bonus with five and a half minutes to play. UMass Lowell held strong, however, and pushed its lead back to five (67-62) after a Bushner put back with 3:42 remaining.
Faieta scored a layup to draw Stonehill within two (69-67) with 2:16 left, but UMass Lowell pushed the lead back to seven (74-67) after two free-throws by junior Bianca Simmons (Middletown, Conn./Mercy) with 14-seconds on the clock. Simmons free-throws came at the end of a series of three-straight offensive rebounds for UML off missed free-throws as Stonehill put the River Hawks on the line to extend the game.
Dixon broke a two-minute scoring drought for Stonehill with a jumper with eight seconds on the clock and then buried a three off a UMass Lowell turnover with four seconds left to pull the Skyhawks within two (74-72), but junior Sarah Bennett (Newark, Ohio/Newark) iced it with two free-throws with half a second left after the River Hawks were able to inbounds the ball.
Stonehill (4-3, 1-3 NE-10) returns to action on Saturday when it visits Saint Michael's College at 1:30 p.m. The Skyhawks return home next Tuesday, December 6, to host Southern New Hampshire University for an NE-10 clash at 5:30 p.m. UMass Lowell (2-4, 1-3 NE-10) hosts Merrimack College on Saturday at 2 p.m.

New centuries of uranium lead for fossil caverns change the landscape of human development in South Africa – ScienceDaily
africa November 22, 2018 africa, Science
The new research of an international team of scientists led by the geochemist isotope of Cape Town University, Dr Robyn Pickering, is the first to provide time for the fossils of the caverns within the Cradle of Humanity. It also raises light on the climatic conditions of our earliest ancestors in the area.
Published online in the magazine Nature On November 21, 2018, the work corrects assumptions that the fossil caves of the region could never be related to each other. In fact, the research suggests fossils from Cradle Caves until only six specific times.
"Unlike previous data that often focused on one cave, sometimes only one room in the cave, we provide direct edges for eight caverns and a model to explain the age of all fossils throughout the region," says Dr Robyn Prenanta.
"Now we can join the results of separate caves and create a better image of evolution in southern Africa."
The Cradle of Humanity is a Patrimony of Human People formed by complex fossil caves. It is the richest website of human beings, and at home to almost 40% of all well-known human fossils, including the famous Australopithecus africanus skull, called Mrs. Ples.
Using uranium plumbing, researchers analyzed 28 fluid layers, which were found shaken between a fossil-rich sediment in eight caves across the Cradle. The results revealed that the fossils in these caves date to six narrow windows between 3.2 and 1.3 million years.
"The stitches are the key," says Pickering. "We know that they can only grow in caverns during wet times, when there is rain outside the cave. In the caves, we capture these times of increased rain. So we know that during the times inside, when the caverns were opened , the climate was drier and more similar to what we are currently experiencing ".
This means that the early men living in the Gaddle experienced great changes in the local climate, from wetter to more dry conditions, at least six times between 3 and 1 million years. However, only the driest times are kept in the caves, shaking the record of early human development.
Until now, the lack of data methods for Cradle-fossils has made it difficult for scientists to understand the relationship between the East and South African menin species. Moreover, the South African record has often been considered unquestionable in comparison with East Africa where volcanic ash deposits allow high distinction.
Professor Andy Herries, co-author in the University of the Trobe study in Australia, notes that "while the South African record was the first to show Africa as an original point for humans, the complexity of the caverns and difficult to date them meant that South African record has been difficult to interpret. "
"In this study we show that the caverns of the caverns can act almost as the volcanoes of Eastern Africa, forming different caves at the same time, allowing us to directly relate their sequences and fossils into a regional sequence," he says.
Dr. Pickering began dating the Cradle Caves back in 2005 as part of her PhD research. This new publication is a result of 13 years of work and brings together a team of 10 scientists from South Africa, Australia and the United States. The results return the Cradle to the forefront and open new opportunities for scientists to respond to complex questions about human history in the region.
"Robyn and her team have made an important contribution to our understanding of human development," says Bernard Wood, Professor Bernard Wood of the Center for the Advanced Study of Human Paleobiology at the George Washington University in the United States, who is not the author of the study.
"This is the most important advantage when the fossils themselves have been discovered. The fossils of phenomena are much more. The value of the South African evidence has increased many times through this exemplary study of its temporal and depopulation context."

Sudden death of GOP Senator has no bearing on supermajority
14 Jul, 2016 by Matt Fleming
While the sudden death of a Republican senator Thursday morning seemingly gives Senate Democrats a two-thirds majority in the chamber, the state's Constitution prevents it from having any effect, a Senate Rules Committee spokesman confirmed.
Sen. Sharon Runner died Thursday morning, ending a longtime battle with scleroderma — a condition that forced the Lancaster Republican from office in 2012 and required a double lung transplant that same year. Voters sent Runner back to the Senate in 2015 in a special election, but she decided not to run again in 2016.
Senate Democrats are one seat away from being in a supermajority — a two-thirds majority that would allow them to approve tax increases, gubernatorial veto overrides and constitutional amendments without Republican votes.
But staff of Senate President Pro Tempore Kevin de Leon, who also chairs the Rules Committee, confirmed that the threshold is a fixed number of votes (27) based on the number of seats (40), not the number of sitting senators (39). There are currently 26 Democratic senators.
The governor has 14 days to call an election to fill a vacancy, and the Elections Code allows for the special election to be scheduled at the same time as the next regularly scheduled election if it's within 180 days, which the Nov. 8 general election is.
Since Runner had already decided to step down, there's an election underway for the seat. Republican Assemblyman Scott Wilk of Santa Clarita and Democrat Johnathon Levar Ervin, an engineer and Air Force reservist advanced from the primary as the top two.
Because of Democrats' closeness to a supermajority, this seat is seen as a must hold for Republicans.
Legislators and experts have long called for some type of reform to the costly and cumbersome special election process. Runner championed a measure this session that would mitigate the cost of special elections by allowing the governor to declare a winner if there was only one candidate on the ballot.
The bill is sitting on Gov. Jerry Brown's desk awaiting a decision.

Mario Alberto Cárdenas Virrey (born 23 August 1993) is a Mexican professional football player who last played for Reboceros de La Piedad.

Career

Cárdenas grew up playing baseball as a child, as was common in his hometown of Guaymas, but he began playing football at the age of 12. He was discovered by Santos Laguna scouts while playing in a national tournament, and immediately joined their youth ranks. In a span of two years, Cárdenas progressed from the under-17 squad to the senior team. He made his professional debut for Santos on 19 August 2012, coming on for Darwin Quintero in a 2–1 league defeat to Pumas UNAM.

Cárdenas was loaned out to Calor de Gómez Palacio in January 2014. After parting ways with Santos Laguna, he joined Pioneros de Cancún for six months.

Cárdenas returned to his home state when he joined Cimarrones de Sonora in 2015. In his first game as a starter, he scored a hat-trick to secure a 3–1 win against Estudiantes Tecos.

He played with Acaxees de Durango of the Liga de Balompié Mexicano during the league's inaugural season in 2020–21.

I am an outgoing convivial woman who is multi-skilled, creative and logical at the best of times. When it comes to the art of being self-sufficient I have a strong foundation of knowledge. I'm reliable, responsible, professional but always with a lighthearted sense of humour. Life is a gift, I believe life is meant to be enjoyed. I'm passionate about animals and nature in general and am happiest when walking with dogs in the woods or forest or on the beach, or riding a horse or tending to the care and nurture of any animal. I'm a keen and creative gardener and general all rounder when it comes to DIY.
I make music, write novels and poetry and take documentary photographs.
I practice Yoga on a regular basis.
I love housesitting because of the variety and unique quality of life it can bring. I like adventure and discovery and enjoy being 'on the go' as I have an active, strong and energetic personality. I like travelling off the beaten track and enjoy the magic of experiencing everchanging landscapes, challenges and projects. Ideally I would love to be surrounded by nature, whether that be out in the wilderness, close to the sea, the mountains, a farmstead perhaps ... I love animals - house sitting with pets helps me achieve a sense of being whole and at one with nature.
I have been a member of TrustedHouseSitter for over 18 months and in that time have completed a number of very differing housesits, enjoying them all for their uniqueness. I am skilled at gardening, cleaning and general DIY too so can keep good maintenance and care of any property. Being an animal lover I have looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea-pigs, horses and some farm animals. I like to be as environmentally friendly as possible with great belief of living in harmony with nature.
I have a small Lhasa Apso dog who travels with me.
I can not praise Alicia enough. We were selling a property and needed someone to live there until it sold. Alicia kept the house very clean and tidy, as well as being the perfect hostess to the people who viewed. The completion date for the sale was changed several times but Alicia just fell in with the new arrangements.
We live an hour and a half drive from the property, so when there is a problem, it's difficult to get there and sort it out. Alicia just coped with everything. She messaged me to tell me of the problem and then messaged me to say it was fixed. I have never worried less about an empty property, Alicia took all the worry out of it.
The original house sit was for 3 months, but ended up being 5 months.
This was my first time using Trusted Housesitters and was a little apprehensive at first , however any concerns I might have had soon dissapated. After meeting Alicia and Digger I felt completely comfortable leaving my home and my Labradoodle Millie in her very capable hands. I returned to a very clean and tidy home and a relaxed and happy Millie. I would highely recommend Alicia for anyone seeking a house or petsitter.
Alicia was absolutely wonderful! Very self sufficient and tidy and my dog absolutely adored her. I have no hesitation in recommending Alicia as a highly trusted petsitter!
I have known Alicia for over 7 years ; I employed Alicia on a sessional basis to deliver yoga classes and I have know and employed her since that time in a number of work place settings.
Alicia is dependable and trustworthy. She is personable and able to get on with people at many levels. I would work have no hesitation in providing a positive reference for Alicia and without doubt would employ her again.
I have known Alicia Rose for over 18 years and I can vouch that she will be an ideal person to either House sit or take care of a much loved pet.
Alicia is first and foremost trustworthy, honest, hard-working and a dedicated person. She will most definitely be an asset to your organisation.
Of course taking care of pets is a responsibility that should not be taken lightly, and as a pt lover I know that Alicia will provide the best possible care and attention to any pet left in her care.
I have known Alicia for about six years. As a homeowner she is impeccable. Very ordered, clean and well kept, she knows how to keep a safe environment. As a person she is extremely well organised and very reliable. She is a pet owner and very understanding and caring of the needs of animals in her care. I count her as a good and supportive friend who can be trusted to look after what and who is in her care.
Ive known Alicia for 8 years our paths have crossed many times within music/arts circles and we share many of the same friends.
We once went away to the coast in her Winnie Bago with her beautiful, fun dog Diggers.
Alicia is a very loyal and trustworthy lady with a positive outlook. Multi talented & very hard working. I'd highly recommended her as a housesitter.

Q: How can I prove that a functional is within the dual space of H1 space?
My understanding of a dual space is that it is a space of all the linear bounded operators that transform objects in Sobolev space (for this case) to the real or complex spaces. I am not sure if this is complete or even correct. Also, I don't really get what the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality has to do with this.

A: To solve this problem you need to know a little bit about Sobolev space theory, the definition of $H^1$ and its norm.
By the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality
$$| \ell(v)| \leq \left( \int_{\Omega} |f|^2 dx \right)^{1/2} \left( \int_{\Omega} |v|^2 dx \right)^{1/2} = ||f||_2 ||v||_2 \leq ||f||_2 ( ||v||_2 + C||Dv||_2)=  ||f||_2 K||v||_{V}.$$
Then, by definition of operator norm
$$   || \ell|| \leq K||f||_2    $$

Q: ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence when calling numpy.save() I have a list called training_data that I'd like to store in an .npy file.
Each element of the list contains a 480x270 image matrix screen and a 1x4 output list; So an element would look like so:
[screen,output]

Essentially, I'm storing an image and the action taken(the key pressed-out of 4 available options) at the instant that the image was captured from the screen to train a CNN.
While in the list format, training_data stores all my records without any issues, so this works:
training_data.append([screen,output])

But, when I try to save the list as a numpy array, into a .npy file, like so:
np.save(file_name,training_data)

I get the following error:
ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence. The requested array has an inhomogeneous shape after 2 dimensions. The detected shape was (1000, 2) + inhomogeneous part.

I'm following a tutorial to create this CNN project. Admittedly, the tutorial was made a few years back (2017). Back then, the save operation worked flawlessly:
Tutorial Timestamp: 17:49
Any ideas as to why this error occurs will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States cut back aid to Cambodia Tuesday to protest shrinking democracy in the Southeast Asia nation, where the party of longtime ruler Hun Sen swept Senate elections after facing no serious opposition. The White House said it was suspending or curtailing U.S. programs worth $8.3 million that support Cambodia's tax department, local government and military. The U.S. has already restricted visas to Cambodians who are "undermining democracy" — a response to Hun Sen's crackdown on media and main opposition party, which was dissolved in November. Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the U.S. has provided more than $1 billion in assistance to Cambodia over the last quarter-century, but was compelled to review its assistance "to ensure that American taxpayer funds are not being used to support anti-democratic behavior." Sunday's Senate elections didn't represent the will of the Cambodian people, she said. The ruling Cambodian People's Party claimed victory in all 58 of the seats that were voted on by the country's 11,572 commune councilors. The vote was seen as a foretaste of a scheduled July general election for the National Assembly that is also expected to affirm Prime Minister Hun Sen's three-decade rule. The only opposition party in parliament, the Cambodia National Rescue Party, was dissolved after politicized courts sustained the government's legal challenges. Party leader Kem Sokha was arrested in September and accused of trying to overthrow the government with U.S. support, which Washington denies. Kem Sokha has been charged with treason and held without bail. On Tuesday, a Cambodian court ordered the seizure of the party's headquarters. A lawyer for Hun Sen said a municipal court in the capital Phnom Penh ordered the seizure because the party's exiled former leader, Sam Rainsy, failed to pay a $1 million judgment against him for defaming the prime minister and compensation to another r ruling party leader. Sam Rainsy is the owner of the property. Monovithya Kem, an opposition spokeswoman and Kem Sokha's daughter, praised the Trump administration's action for showing the world won't stand by as "twenty-plus years of investment into Cambodia's democracy is flushed away." The European Union is also weighing sanctions on senior officials in Cambodia. EU foreign ministers on Monday urged restoration of democracy and government dialogue with the opposition, warning the bloc may consider "targeted measures" if the situation doesn't improve.
PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - China has granted more than $100 million in military aid to Cambodia, Cambodia said on Tuesday, highlighting the strong ties between Beijing and a government that critics accuse of destroying democracy ahead of an election next month. The military aid was offered by China's defense minister Wei Fenghe, who is in Phnom Penh to attend a China-Cambodia military exhibition, on a visit that began on June 16 and will end on Wednesday. Cambodian Defence Ministry spokesman Chhum Sucheat said Wei "pledged more than $100 million grant" to be used for whatever Cambodia required, and that the Chinese and Cambodian armies would conduct joint exercises, dubbed "Dragon Gold", again next year. Wei, in a statement carried by China's Defence Ministry, said Cambodia was a "loyal friend" and China stood by it as it "pursued a development path that accords with its national condition". China is Cambodia's biggest aid donor and its backing has bolstered Hun Sen, who has ruled the country for 33 years. The ban on Cambodia's opposition was condemned by the United States, the European Union and other countries. Hun Sen has accused the United States of supporting the CNRP and plotting a "color revolution" to overthrow his government. The opposition party and the United States denied that. Cambodia has suspended joint military exercises with the United States indefinitely, but has held exercises with China twice since 2016.
This week, shortly after the White House officially announced a series of expected aid cuts on the Cambodian government on February 27, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen made headlines of his own when he bragged about a new influx of weaponry into the Southeast Asian state. Though there in fact appears to be much less than meets the eye here, Hun Sen's boast nonetheless fits into a broader pattern where the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) has been playing up its deepening defense ties with China to boost its domestic legitimacy as it nears elections in July. As I have noted repeatedly in these pages, Cambodia has a long and strong defense relationship with China, with Beijing being the largest donor of military aid and asking few of the questions that some Western countries, including the United States and Australia, have over the country's worsening rights record (See: "The Truth About US-China Competition in Cambodia"). Over the past few years in particular, Beijing and Phnom Penh have been expanding ties even further in this realm, including with new exercises and engagements. The two countries held their first naval drills in 2016. That trend has unsurprisingly continued on into 2018, with both countries commemorating 60 years of bilateral ties and Cambodia heading into a general election in July. As we have gotten closer to those polls, the Hun Sen government has attempted to consolidate its authority, cracking down on opposition groups and severing certain elements of ties with some Western powers, even as the CPP has boosted ties with China (See: "Why Did Cambodia Just Downgrade Military Ties with the US Again?"). In December 2017, for example, during a visit to Cambodia, Major General Zhao Tianxing, the commander of the Air Defense Force and Artillery Academy of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), said China would help further boost Cambodia's military facilities in terms of personnel, equipment, and training.

So it came as little surprise when Hun Sen once again appeared to play up Beijing's new military assistance again this week just as Washington was cutting aid to Cambodia. During a speech to thousands of factory workers in Kampong Speu province, Hun Sen bragged about the import of thousands of tons of weaponry that had occurred overnight. He didn't specify the source country, though few had any doubt he was referring to China. Though he did not provide much in the way of specifics, he spoke of "up to 10,000 tons… of ammunitions and weapons" being transported in containers in shipments that were under the charge of Cambodia's defense minister, Tea Banh. Hun Sen's statements were widely reported in local media outlets. But their vagueness, along with his penchant for hyperbole, made it difficult to verify the specifics of what he actually meant. In particular, the way Hun Sen spoke about the military equipment – which he termed "confidential" and "special goods" – made it seem like these were secret donations provided for Cambodia's national defense by China in response to U.S. actions, and that was how some media outlets portrayed this. Subsequent details, however, have cast doubt on the influx of weapons as a well-timed geopolitical development. Ministry spokesman Chum Socheat reportedly confirmed shortly after that the equipment was in fact an expected delivery in line with a military exercise both countries were already scheduled to hold in mid-March. As I had noted before, both sides had already suggested in January that the next iteration of Golden Dragon would be held this month as part of the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of China-Cambodia relations in Phnom Srouch district at Kampong Speu province, where Hun Sen was speaking (See: "What Will the Next China-Cambodia Military Exercise Looks Like?"). If that is indeed the case, this appears to be yet another case of Hun Sen playing up existing Chinese military aid, both to shore up legitimacy for the CPP amid deteriorating ties with Western states as its authoritarian descent continues, as well as to emphasize that the Cambodian military continues to be boosted with Beijing's assistance to secure both the country and the ruling party. This is not the first time the premier has done so, and it certainly will not be the last. That is worth keeping in mind should we see more headlines along these lines in the coming months and beyond.
Over the past two decades, China has worked diligently to cultivate ties to Cambodia's strongman. Beijing has continued to back Hun Sen as he has dissolved Cambodia's main opposition party, thrown its leader in jail, manipulated social media to boost his perceived popularity, and presided over the hollowing out of the country's two largest independent newspapers. When a crackdown on political opposition started last November, China came to the government's defense. After meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in late March, Hun Sen wrote on his Facebook page that "Chinese leaders would like to support and wish Samdech Techo Hun Sen to win the election and lead Cambodia's destiny to make it become more developed in the future." And in the run-up to July's elections, China's ambassador to Cambodia attended a ruling party election rally in Phnom Penh. This support has taken more tangible forms as well. Last December, China pledged to give Cambodia's National Election Campaign $20 million for polling booths, computers, and other equipment. Visiting Cambodia in June, China's defense minister announced a military aid package of $100 million and claimed that Cambodia was a "loyal friend." Beijing has worked hard to cultivate such loyalty with its southern neighbor. To help Hun Sen offset domestic and international criticism of his increasingly authoritarian turn, China has increased its aid and investment, announcing hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of concessional loans, supporting infrastructure projects, and upping the number of Chinese tourists visiting Cambodia over the last year by over 40 percent. China is now Cambodia's largest aid donor. In exchange for Beijing's unquestioning support, Cambodia under Hun Sen has increasingly become a vassal state of China and helped expand Beijing's local and regional ambitions. The Cambodian government has displaced thousands of Cambodian families for Chinese-funded projects. Most egregiously, in a deal that violated Cambodian national laws, the government secretly ceded more than 20 percent of Cambodia's coastline to a Chinese-owned company. Hun Sen has dutifully responded to Beijing's calls to do more to protect Chinese investments, attacking those who question Cambodia's growing economic reliance on its northern neighbor. He has also defended China's development projects abroad, brushing aside criticism that such projects have placed unsustainable debt burdens on recipient countries, caused lasting environmental damage, and displaced local workers. In exchange for Beijing's unquestioning support, Cambodia under Hun Sen has increasingly become a vassal state of China and helped expand Beijing's local and regional ambitions. For China's regional ambitions, the relationship with Cambodia yields continual dividends. Despite not being a claimant to the disputed maritime territory in the South China Sea, Cambodia has consistently supported China's island-building and militarization there. It has shielded Beijing from criticism by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations by repeatedly blocking any measures that would hold Beijing accountable for its aggressive behavior. In addition, China's acquisition of the large swaths of Cambodian coastline and construction of port facilities in the coastal city of Sihanoukville, offer tantalizing potential future locations for Chinese naval bases that would allow Beijing the ability to project power further into and beyond the region. And last year, Cambodia scrapped a long-running U.S. military aid program, while scaling up its training and coordination with China's People's Liberation Army. Perhaps most important for a Chinese regime that has suffered from an image problem abroad, Cambodia has served as a loyal voice providing positive propaganda for Beijing. Standing next to a senior official from the Chinese Communist Party's Publicity Department last April, Hun Sen presided over the release of a volume of Xi Jinping philosophy into Khmer and encouraged Cambodian "officials, professors, and students to read the book." As the independent media has been snuffed out in Cambodia, Chinese state-run media organs such as China Daily, The Global Times, and Xinhua have stepped into the void, filling the editorial pages in Cambodian newspapers and turning them into mouthpieces for Chinese propaganda. In this, Cambodia has proved a troubling example of a state working in tandem with Beijing's censors and propagandists. Meanwhile, the relationship with China has compromised Cambodia's independence and sovereignty while bringing little benefit to ordinary citizens. Although Chinese investment has led to construction projects across Cambodia, observers have also expressed concern that "white elephant projects, ghost cities, and Potemkin villages" are unlikely to do anything for the country's future development. In keeping with their practice in other parts of the world, Chinese state companies bring in Chinese workers to build roads, dams, and bridges and fail to hire local workers or transfer knowledge and expertise to local communities. Typical of this is Chinese investment in the coastal city of Sihanoukville, which has seen a massive influx of Chinese casinos and tourists. As Anna Fifield reported in The Washington Post, resentment is mounting among average Cambodians. "All this building they're doing is only to benefit Chinese," a Sihanoukville man said. "It's good for the landowners but not for ordinary people." "In a large number of cases, the benefits have been minimal or negative," wrote Sebastian Strangio, author of Hun Sen's Cambodia. These investments by Beijing have also led to environmental degradation in a country that is already struggling with a range of environmental issues.
HONG KONG — As anyone who has seen "Rebel Without a Cause" knows, playing chicken is dangerous for California teenagers in hot-rods. But playing chicken with warships, cruisers, and fighter jets — well, that's just another level of crazy. Unfortunately, vessels from the US military and from other countries increasingly find themselves in such high-stakes confrontations on the East Asian seas, where China has adopted a strategy of making rivals flinch or risk collision. Just this week, Chinese sailors parked three ships on a disputed reef 50 miles from the Malaysian coast and performed a ceremony in which they swore an oath "to safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial interests." Malaysia also claims the reef, and is building a naval base nearby to protect it against China's claim. That's just the latest in an escalating series of incidents. In November, China declared its right to patrol and regulate a large swath of airspace, including a zone controlled by Japan and areas regularly used by the US military. Since then, China says it has repeatedly dispatched surveillance planes to tail, monitor, and identify foreign fighters. In December, a Chinese ship halted in the path of the USS Cowpens, in international waters, forcing it to change course or risk a crash. The American cruiser complied. Then in January, China's southernmost province of Hainan announced that police vessels had begun enforcing a law requiring "all foreigners or foreign ships" to get approval before they could fish in 2 million square kilometers of sea — an area five times the size of California. The claimed territory encompasses waters long plied by fisherman from Vietnam and the Philippines. While none of those incidents has yet led to bloodshed or to any formal cession of territory, they have yielded de-facto results. And collectively, they show the genius and risks in China's plan to wrest control of the South China Sea, one provocation at a time.
The United States ought to provide demining assistance to authoritarian regimes.
The US is a world leader in demining and saves many lives through aid.
Patierno 2K Patierno, Pat. "The Why and What of the U.S. Humanitarian Demining Program." 15 May 2000. https://reliefweb.int/report/afghanistan/why-and-what-us-humanitarian-demining-program.
Since 1993, the United States has provided approximately $320 million to more than 35 mine-affected nations around the world. In addition, we have spent another $80 million-plus supporting research and development efforts to find better and more cost-effective mine detection technologies. This combined figure of nearly $400 million has positioned us as a world leader in humanitarian mine action. I would be remiss if I did not mention the significant contributions of other nations as well to this noble endeavor. Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and other like-minded donor nations are equally engaged. International organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union, and the Organization of American States contribute their fair share as well. But the aggregate contributions of these generous mine-action benefactors fall far short of what is required to clear the more than estimated 60 million landmines that pollute the earth in more than 70 nations. The United States, like other donors, focuses its humanitarian mine action assistance to address one or more of the following requirements: Mine Awareness -- educating the people of mine-affected nations as to the dangers of landmine and unexploded ordnance and what to do should they encounter such devices. Mine Detection -- using a variety of technologies, including manual probes, to locate mines and unexploded ordnance. Mine Clearance -- lifting and removing, or destroying in place, mines and unexploded ordnance. Mine Victims' Assistance -- providing long-term care, including prosthetic support, and rehabilitative services, including societal reintegration to the victim and his/her family. The U.S. has provided, or is currently providing assistance to the following countries: Afghanistan, Albania, Angola, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Chad, Costa Rica, Croatia, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Guatemala, Honduras, Jordan, Laos, Lebanon, Macedonia, Mauritania, Moldova, Mozambique, Namibia, Nicaragua, Peru, Rwanda, Swaziland, Thailand, Vietnam, Yemen, Zimbabwe, Kosovo, and NW Somalia. Within a few months, we will begin programs in Armenia, Oman, and Zambia.
Landmines are military weapons used for structural violence—kill more than all WMD combined. Tens of thousands die annually and millions of future lives are at risk.
Landmines are among the most deadly weapons in the contemporary world. These weapons have killed more people than nuclear, chemical and biological weapons combined and their development and production is significantly cheaper. The price to produce a mine generally ranges from US $3 to US $30 per mine (Beier and Crosby 1998: 280). Although it is difficult to assess the precise figures of casualties from landmines (Maslen 2004: 27), the ICRC has estimated that every year 26,000 people are wounded or killed by landmines, including many civilians (ICRC 1996). Many victims are not included in any data, as the recording of victims relies on them being able to access medical care, which for many is out of reach. Shocking data exists from the most heavily mined countries. Cambodia, for example, recorded more than 54,000 people maimed or killed by mines or unexploded ordnances (UXOs) between 1979 and 2002. Or, as recorded by the Vietnamese Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs in September 1999 'at least 38,248 people had been killed and 64,064 people injured in landmine/UXO accidents since the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975 - indicting an average of 4448 deaths of injuries a year' (Maslen 2004: 28). While the majority of victims of anti-personnel mines during actual conflict are men; children and women are disproportionately affected by mines and UXOs follow- ing the cessation of conflict. Among the countries most affected by mines are some of the World's poorest with exact estimates difficult to make. The landmines campaign decided at a meeting in Montreux, Switzerland, in 1993 that the figure they would deal with would be 100 million mines. In the same year, the US Department of State published a report Called Hidden Killers that supported the campaign's claim by estimating that between 65 and 110 million mines were hidden in more that 65 countries. The Department of State Report and the UN Secretariat to the General Assembly took on this figure as a reference point. The figure 'has been widely used and reused, a mantra that for several years became an uncontested reality, a compel- ling call to action' (Maslen 2004: 24). In 1998, the US State Department stated that 'between 85 million and 90 million landmines are currently implanted in the soil of at least 62 nations' (US State Department 1998, in Vines 1998: 121).


Presentation will include an overview of field measurements of waves performed from drift ice in the Barents Sea since 2006. It includes observations of ice motion during events of wave propagation, measurements of sea current velocities in under ice boundary layer, water pressure at different depths, accelerations and angular velocities of floes. The data are used for the calculation of dispersion properties of observed waves and characteristics of under ice turbulence. The coefficient of wave attenuation is calculated using equation of floe motion along the water surface with relatively common assumptions about floe-floe interactions and known solution describing oscillating boundary layer near the bottom of floating ice. Numerical values of the coefficient are reconstructed using the data of field measurements. The evolution of wave spectra in MIZ of the North-West Barents Sea is compared with the wave spectra calculated from the high resolution satellite image (SAR).

Buy a print of this comic!
This one's lovely intense. Well, like they all are, but I really the concept this time (: It's even more unusal.
Beautiful, to a hair-raising degree!
I especially liked the Atari t-shirt:) For us Atari kids it means a lot. Thank you.
i love your work. great job !
Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you like it.
I adore the last two lines, as I almost always do. Juan, you're wonderful at writing perfect endings.
This is fantastic, it has that ring of truth to it, and that air of meaning floating just out of reach that makes art memorable and moving. Good work.
There is now a SecretKnots Universe with this Curtain restaurant.
But the Break-Up Coffeeshop can also be a place for beginnings.
Indeed! There are more connections to discover in the next stories, you'll see.
I must of missed this game… Sounds familiar but i cant name it.
what does this mean? i get the story but is there an underlying life lesson?
That's pretty awesome. I rarely leave comments (this might be the first) on comix I see, but for some reason this one hit me pretty solidly.
Wow, intense! This is the story of the walkthrough makers. They have to play the same game over and over to uncover it's deepest darkest secrets. At least that's what I understood from the story hehe. Nice! First time I comment on a stumble, great work!
I imagine the people who seek advice from the gamer are not as well-off as the people who struggle through hardships and gain the answers for themselves. I think this underscores a growing problem in our society; people wanting easy answers to things without work and sacrifice. They want God to just give them the solution.
Interesting! I wonder what it would be like to apply 'Mods' to the game.

Emily this was Beautiful! This was very well written, and even made me shed a tear. I'm very glad you got this experience, and would love to chat with you more about this topic as I have some experience with that when I traveled to Guatemala too.
