The skilled trades haven't caught as a career choice with Gen Z. : NPR
Employers are having trouble finding young workers for skilled jobs.

Justin Mwandjalulu, 20 years old, build stuff
These days, as a carpenter's apprentice, he works with other construction workers to install drywall on a house. But he said he likes concrete best.
"At the end of the day, you will know you put your all into it. It is the result of your hard work," he said.
As a child, Mwanjarul dreamed of becoming a carpenter or an electrician. And now he's making that dream a reality. However, it also makes him an exception to the rule. Generation Z (often referred to as those born between 1997 and 2012) are on track to become the most educated generation, but they are traditionally hands-on in skilled trades and tech industries. Fewer young people are choosing to work.
Gen Z's interest in commerce and skilled labor is declining
Data from Handshake, an online recruitment platform shared by NPR, shows that in 2022, the number of young people seeking technical jobs such as plumbers, building contractors and electrical workers will be 49% lower than in 2020.
Handshake researchers tracked changes in the number of applications and openings for technical jobs over the past two years.
Posts for positions such as Automotive Technician, Equipment Installer, and Respiratory Therapist each received about 10 applications in 2020, but each post received about 5 applications in 2022. .
According to Christine Cruzvergara, the company's chief educational strategy officer, Handshake's typical rate is about 19 applications per job.
The demand for technical positions continues to grow, but the number of students interested in applying for the positions is not.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce warns there will be a "massive" shortage of skilled workers by 2023.
"For a long time our society didn't speak favorably of craftsmen," Cruzvergara said. "Instead, we encourage all students to go to college, attend a four-year college, graduate, and get a white-collar job."
One path does not fit all
In the second year of a four-year carpentry apprenticeship, Mwandjalulu of Iowa City, Iowa found school difficult.
As a freshman, he and his family immigrated to the United States from Benin, Africa.
"Man, it was hard," he said. The twin brothers, who are now studying to work in banks, were good, but Mwandjalulu said he struggled with writing and English.
"I'm not the type who likes to be in the same place all day and deal with paperwork and such," he said.
By the time he graduated from high school, Mwanjarul said he was depressed because he didn't know what he wanted to do with his life. Many of his older friends, who had gone to college and graduated, were having trouble finding jobs for him.
Twenty-year-old Justin Mwandjalulu earns nearly $24 an hour as an apprentice carpenter in Iowa. He was lucky to avoid student debt.
Justin Mwanjarul
"I didn't want to be like them," he said. he said.
About 45 million Americans owe about $1.3 trillion in student loans, according to the Department of Education.
But Mwanjarul, who earns nearly $24 an hour as a carpenter, said he still struggles to convince the friends he keeps in touch on Facebook and Snapchat to go his own way.
"There aren't many people, especially immigrants, who think outside of school," he said.
I'm off topic
Paul Iversen, a labor educator at the University of Iowa Labor Center, wants to change that.
Iversen, who helps run the pre-apprenticeship program, says one reason for the low level of participation in craft jobs among Gen Z is that jobs used to be passed down through families.
"It used to be word of mouth," says Iversen. "But the need for carpenters, plumbers, plumbers and electricians cannot be met by people's families today."
That reality is poignant for farmer John Boyd Jr.
Boyd, 57, owns a 300-acre farm in Virginia where he grows soybeans, corn, and wheat and raises cattle as he did three generations ago. But now, none of his three children want to inherit the house when he retires.
"Everyone on my farm is over 50," said Boyd, president of the National Black Farmers Association. "We need young people with energy, hard work and innovation."
28-year-old Michael Coleman is one of them. In 2015 he received a scholarship from the NBFA to study Animal Science at the University of Nebraska.
Coleman is now an animal health technician for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and dreams of owning his own farm one day.
According to the 2017 U.S. Agriculture Census, the average age of U.S. farmers is 57.5, up from 54.9 in 2007. Coleman said he has met other farmers his age.
"We stick together," he said.
there is plenty of demand
But Coleman said more young people are showing interest in agribusiness and other tech industries, especially since the pandemic.
"It's a lot cheaper to trade and make a lot of money, especially with things like student loans," Coleman said. "Most young people are not being taught the tricks," he said.
Still, aggressive recruitment is needed to fill trade and technical positions, said Iversen, who frequents high schools around Iowa City and works with school counselors to place students in pre-apprenticeship programs.
Especially now that the federal government is pouring billions into projects to upgrade roads and transportation systems across the country, there is an urgency to fill the vacancies, Iversen said.
"We have to hire people to do these things or our bridges will fall apart," said Iversen.

A Dallas-based homebuilder hopes to woo older buyers with two new communities — one in Prosper and the other in Aubrey.
Nathan Carlisle Homes' new projects are part of a housing industry trend to cater to 55-plus homebuyers who are seeking to relocate or downsize.
The planned Lakes at Legacy in Prosper will be built north of U.S. Highway 380 and will include 345 single-family homes. The new houses will range from 1,600 to 4,000 square feet and are priced from the $300,000s to the $600,000s.
The new ArrowBrooke active-adult community in Aubrey is between Denton and McKinney and will include more than 200 houses. The homes will range in size from 1,600 to 2,650 square feet and are priced from the $200,000s to the $300,000s.
Nathan Carlisle Homes has already built 55-plus housing projects in McKinney's Craig Ranch community and in the Savannah community in Denton County.
"Lakes at Legacy and ArrowBrooke are located in two of the fastest growing areas of North Texas and both offer easy access to all that makes this an outstanding place to live — vibrant employment, dining and recreation centers, and leading medical facilities," Nathan Carlisle CEO Richard Dix said in a statement. "Nathan Carlisle has spent several years preparing to introduce these two communities.
"Many out-of-town companies are rushing into this market, but as a locally-based home builder we believe we have a unique perspective on what active adult buyers in this area want in a new home."
The new subdivisions will include features such as community centers with pools and walking and bike trails.
With many baby boomers seeking alternatives to large family homes, builders are scrambling to provide new housing to lure 55-plus buyers. Several local home communities have recently announced new active adult communities.
"The active adult cohort is the most underserved new-home buyer in D-FW," Paige Shipp, regional director for housing analyst Metrostudy, said in a statement. "Households 55 and over comprise 41.7 percent of our market, while only 15.5 percent of new home sales are to active adults.
"Unfortunately, builders have not addressed this market with new lifestyle appropriate homes and communities."

On Our Abundant Potential
Stephanie Pace Marshall
Educational Trailblazer, Founder and President Emerita of Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA)
Looking into Stephanie's career and life is like gazing into a kaleidoscope: She is a synthesizer, a weaver, an integrator, and a "perturber." Her work has led to major, ongoing and colorful shifts in the fields of education and leadership.She is also a woman that asks no small questions:
" What would it take to create a generative and life-affirming system of learning and schooling that liberates the goodness and genius of all children and invites and nurtures the power and creativity of the human spirit for the world? "
That query is the inspiration behind her book, The Power to Transform, and the founding of IMSA. She is a powerful, provocative and articulate voice for educational transformation and a true advocate for designing learning environments that unleash the abundant potential in all of our children. Her students use terms like "learning arboretum" to describe IMSA because she has helped them understand that learning is a human system, and therefore by definition a living system. It's this insight that encapsulates much of Stephanie's approach to the world and serves as her compass as she maps new paths to discovery for tomorrow's leaders.
We are not doomed by our DNA. Our potential is not fixed. Our brains are not finite. Every time we learn a new skill, we are re-wiring our brains—we are creating new paths for contribution.

Actor Shalu Chaurasia mugged in Hyderabad's KBR Park, case filed
Responding to the complaint by the actor, the Banjara Hills police have registered a case and launched an investigation.
news Crime Monday, November 15, 2021 - 12:49
Actor Shalu Chaurasia was injured in an attack by an unidentified person near KBR Park in the Banjara Hills area on Sunday, November 14, night. The young actor was attacked and her mobile phone snatched away when she was taking a stroll around 8.30 pm. The actor complained to the police that a man first asked her to hand over her money and valuables. When she resisted, he punched her on her face and also tried to attack her with a rock. The assailant snatched her mobile phone and escaped. She sustained injuries on her head and near her eye and was taken to a private hospital.
Responding to the complaint by the actor, the Banjara Hills police have registered a case and launched an investigation. They were scanning footage from CCTV cameras in the area to identify the attacker. Mohammed Hafiz, Detective Inspector at Banjara Hills police station told TNM that the incident took place around 8.30 pm when the actor was walking inside KBR park. "According to the complaint, a man snatched her cell phone, attacked her and escaped. We got the information around 11:30 last night. A case has been registered under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code (robbery) and an investigation is underway. CCTV cameras inside KBR weren't functioning and that has become an issue in the investigation," he said.
The sprawling KBR Park is frequented by celebrities, businessmen and political leaders for morning or evening walks. Incidents of chain snatching were reported around the park in the past.
In 2014, a man had opened fire at Aurobindo Pharma executive K Nityananda Reddy with an AK-47 when the latter was sitting in his car after a morning walk. Fortunately for Reddy, he escaped unhurt. The police had later arrested a former policeman posted with the anti-Maoist force Greyhounds, who confessed to stealing a rifle and carrying out the attack for extortion.

Q: How to get list of all routes of a controller in Symfony2? I have a controller which implements all routes/URL(s).
I had the idea to offer a generic index over all help-pages.
Is there a way to get all routes defined by a controller (from within a controller) in Symfony2?

A: If anyone is stumbling on this issue, this is how I exported the routes in the global twig scope (symfony 4).
src/Helper/Route.php
<?php

namespace App\Helper;

use Symfony\Component\Routing\RouterInterface;

class Routes
{
    private $routes = [];

    public function __construct(RouterInterface $router)
    {
        foreach ($router->getRouteCollection()->all() as $route_name => $route) {
            $this->routes[$route_name] = $route->getPath();
        }
    }

    public function getRoutes(): array
    {
        return $this->routes;
    }
}

src/config/packages/twig.yaml
twig:
    globals:
        route_paths: '@App\Helper\Routes'

Then in your twig file to populate a javascript variable to use in your scripts

A: In Symfony 4 i wanted to get all the routes including controller and actions in one list. In rails you can get this by default.
In Symfony you need to add the parameter show-controllers to the debug:router command.
If somebody looking for the same feature it can be get with:
bin/console debug:router --show-controllers

this will produce a list like the following
------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Name                   Method    Scheme    Host     Path                    Controller
------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
app_some_good_name     ANY       ANY       ANY      /example/example        ExampleBundle:Example:getExample
------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

A: You could get all of the routes, then create an array from that and then pass the routes for that controller to your twig.
It's not a pretty way but it works.. for 2.1 anyways..
    /** @var $router \Symfony\Component\Routing\Router */
    $router = $this->container->get('router');
    /** @var $collection \Symfony\Component\Routing\RouteCollection */
    $collection = $router->getRouteCollection();
    $allRoutes = $collection->all();

    $routes = array();

    /** @var $params \Symfony\Component\Routing\Route */
    foreach ($allRoutes as $route => $params)
    {
        $defaults = $params->getDefaults();

        if (isset($defaults['_controller']))
        {
            $controllerAction = explode(':', $defaults['_controller']);
            $controller = $controllerAction[0];

            if (!isset($routes[$controller])) {
                $routes[$controller] = array();
            }

            $routes[$controller][]= $route;
        }
    }

    $thisRoutes = isset($routes[get_class($this)]) ?
                                $routes[get_class($this)] : null ;

A: I was looking to do just that and after searching the code, I came up with this solution which works for a single controller (or any ressource actually). Works on Symfony 2.4 (I did not test with previous versions) :
$routeCollection = $this->get('routing.loader')->load('\Path\To\Controller\Class');

foreach ($routeCollection->all() as $routeName => $route) {
   //do stuff with Route (Symfony\Component\Routing\Route)
}

A: The safest way to proceed is to use the symfony controller resolver, because you never know if your controller is defined as a fully qualified class name, a service, or whatever callable declaration.
    foreach ($this->get('router')->getRouteCollection() as $route) {
        $request = new Request();
        $request->attributes->add($route->getDefaults());

        [$service, $method] = $this->resolver->getController($request);

        // Do whatever you like with the instanciated controller
    }

A: What you can do is use the cmd with (up to SF2.6)
php app/console router:debug

With SF 2.7 the command is
php app/console debug:router

With SF 3.0 the command is
php bin/console debug:router

which shows you all routes.
If you define a prefix per controller (which I recommend) you could for example use
php app/console router:debug | grep "<prefixhere>"

to display all matching routes
To display get all your routes in the controller, with basically the same output
I'd use the following within a controller (it is the same approach used in the router:debug command in the symfony component)
/**
 * @Route("/routes", name="routes")
 * @Method("GET")
 * @Template("routes.html.twig")
 *
 * @return array
 */
public function routeAction()
{
    /** @var Router $router */
    $router = $this->get('router');
    $routes = $router->getRouteCollection();

    foreach ($routes as $route) {
        $this->convertController($route);
    }

    return [
        'routes' => $routes
    ];
}

private function convertController(\Symfony\Component\Routing\Route $route)
{
    $nameParser = $this->get('controller_name_converter');
    if ($route->hasDefault('_controller')) {
        try {
            $route->setDefault('_controller', $nameParser->build($route->getDefault('_controller')));
        } catch (\InvalidArgumentException $e) {
        }
    }
}

routes.html.twig

{% for route in routes %}

        {{ route.path }}
        {{ route.methods|length > 0 ? route.methods|join(', ') : 'ANY' }}
        {{ route.defaults._controller }}

{% endfor %}

Output will be:
/_wdt/{token}  ANY     web_profiler.controller.profiler:toolbarAction
etc.

A: Because you needed to get the route information from within a Controller, you can make use of Symfony's Autowiring. If it is configured properly, you can just pass RouterInterface to any routes in a Controller.
#[Route('/', name: 'app_default')]
public function someRoute(RouterInterface $router): JsonResponse
{
    $routesPaths = [];

    foreach ($router->getRouteCollection()->all() as $routeName => $route) {
        $routesPaths["$routeName"] = $route->getPath();
    }

    return new JsonResponse([
        'availableRoutes' => $routesPaths,
    ]);
}

However if you need this logic in multiple Controllers you should encapsulate the logic in a seperate class like @C Alex did in one of his answers.

can help you learn the difference between HVAC manufacturers and more. For the most part, all HVAC contractors basically pay the same price for the units they install. That's why, even if you narrow your choice down to a few HVAC brands and models, you still can't compare them by just the cost quoted by a contractor or installer.
There are a number variables that make the difference between buying a brand and getting the solution you desire. Is choosing the higher price the best option? Maybe not. That's why it's important to know what you'll be getting for your hard earned money.
There are about six HVAC equipment manufacturers in the U.S. to date, and they operate under more than 150 name brands including, Lennox, Armstrong, Concord, Trane and American Standard, Carrier, Payne, Bryant and Tempstar, York, Lux and Coleman to name a few. For the most part, they make the same type of machine, one that heats and cools your home. This brand might have a fancier control panel while that one has more aggressive advertising campaigns. That's about it.
The real difference between HVAC manufacturers is hiring a good installation contractor.
Now, almost all manufacturers provide a basic 5-year warranty on their parts only. Because they cannot control how your systems are installed, they usually require their dealers to sign an agreement to offer the customer a one-year labor warranty. The manufacturer reimburses for the parts, and the contractor pays the labor cost out of pocket. Often that cost is passed along to the customer.
Smaller HVAC contractors tend to not give a "cushion" price to clients because they want to offer the cheapest deal and get your business. So, be wary of warranty pushes by the sales team. This can include warranties for such things as parts and labor, or specifics such as the compressor and heat exchanger.
Choose quality before warranties and be suspicious of the extended warranties, because if you have a repair guy out every week to fix something, it may just not be worth it. If you go for a warranty, be sure to get everything in writing with a clear understanding of all the terms, so there are no surprises.
The fact is that certain manufacturer brands are extremely selective about who they let install their systems. You will know the good companies when you see them, but to be safe, always look for their licenses, reviews, certifications and word of mouth around town.
Experts like Aspen Creek Heating and Air can get the job done right because of our extensive experience, skilled team, and even having the right tools to ensure a proper HVAC system installation. Trust us, there are a lot of specific tools needed for the job!
Now that you have learned the difference between HVAC manufacturers, or lack thereof, you are set to save some money and get excellent services from a talented company like Aspen Creek Heating and Air. We carry the most sought after brands and have a proven track record for no-pressure customer service and accountability. You are in good hands with our company, and your home will love you for it.

Thiago Silva insists PSG not seeking revenge against Rennes
Andrew Smyth August 3, 2019 9:23 am August 3, 20199:24 am
Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva has downplayed suggestions they're out for revenge against Rennes for their Trophee des Champions showdown.
Following their shock Coupe de France final defeat to Rennes in April, Silva and PSG will have a chance to settle an old score with Julien Stephan's men in China on Saturday.
Kylian Mbappe even conceded on Thursday that the cup final loss is still fresh on their minds. He also teased that PSG have "a little feeling of revenge" going on as well.
The Ligue 1 champions come into the tie on the back of a solid 3-0 friendly win over Sydney FC on Tuesday. Therefore, they hope to carry on their strong form and win a seventh consecutive Trophee des Champions.
But Silva insists revenge is not the agenda for PSG.
"No. Of course, it will be important to win this match and start the season with a trophy," the Brazilian centre-back told the club's website.
"Rennes are a very good side, physically, technically and mentally. They showed that at the Stade de France. On Saturday they will be ready.
"They are an intelligent team. We want to be ready for this match and the season. There's a title at stake and it's very important for us and for the club."
PSG have signed the likes of Idrissa Gueye, Abdou Diallo, Pablo Sarabia and Ander Herrera during this summer's transfer window.
Naturally, the big hope is that these four players will help the club re-establish their dominance in France and help them challenge in the Champions League.
"I hope they will settle in quickly," said Silva.
"First of all, we will sit down and have a chat about everything, and then we'll listen to them sing for their initiation. That will help them feel a little more comfortable with the squad.
"It's important. I sang very badly when I arrived at the club, but the most important thing is to feel part of the squad, to feel comfortable."
Silva and PSG's Trophee des Champions clash with Rennes in Shenzhen, China will begin at 13:30 (CET).

With 1.8 billion young people worldwide, we have the largest youth generation in history. Young people are affected by today's greatest challenges but they are also the key to solving them. Ahead of International Youth Day (12 August), we give five reasons why involving youth is critical to ending child marriage.
It goes without saying that young people are directly affected by child marriage. Every year, 15 million girls are married before their 18th birthday. Pushing girls into adulthood far too quickly, child marriage harms their health, education, safety and financial independence.
If we are to support child brides and help other girls to avoid child marriage, we need to listen to what they have to say and challenge our assumptions about what we think they need.
When girls are able to stay out of marriage, they make sure that their own children do not marry early. Girls who have avoided or escaped child marriage can also be powerful role models for girls in their communities, inspiring them to stand up for their rights and helping them imagine a different future for themselves.
It is, for instance, what Melka did. Forced into marriage at 14, she eventually regained her freedom and made her way back to school. She now teaches adolescent girls about their rights, showing them that girls can be anything they aspire to be.
In many countries where child marriage is common, such as Uganda or Tanzania, young people make up approximately one half of the population. By not engaging youth to end child marriage we not only ignore the concerns of half of the population, we keep ourselves from achieving results on a large scale.
Given the rate of population growth, unless we double our efforts, the problem will only worsen with time. Recent figures from UNICEF estimate that there will be 1.2 billion women married during their childhood by 2050. Involving young people now must be part of the solution.
A growing body of research shows that providing young people, especially girls, with the opportunities to learn new skills, develop their social networks and gain access to safe spaces encourages them to become agents of change in their own communities and countries.
Experience from Girls Not Brides members demonstrates that young people are able to catalyse action among wide sections of the community, and effectively mobilise particularly marginalised groups of young people.
Bringing young people on board helps organisations to push the envelope. Many Girls Not Brides members have told us that young advocates make more daring policy demands, think outside the box, and open up previously closed policy spaces.
For example, young people have been at the forefront of Benin's latest campaign to end child marriage – mobilising online and offline to change policies as well as attitudes in their communities. Eight young artists came together to record a song denouncing violence against children.
The adoption of a law increasing the age of marriage to 18 in Malawi is a great example of the added value of young people. Adolescent girls around the country convinced their community leaders to adopt by-laws on child marriage, eventually taking their struggle all the way to Parliament.
Mobilise youth for a stronger global movement to end child marriage!
We need to go beyond seeing youth as victims of child marriage, or beneficiaries of programmes, and acknowledge that they have a lot to contribute to the field. When we value, invest and meaningfully engage young people, they can become the champions that we need to end child marriage.

THE 3RD ATTEMPT, THE NEW BAND FROM FORMER CARPATHIAN FOREST GUITARISTS, SET TO ENTER THE STUDIO IN APRIL
Posted: March 31, 2015 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, THE 3rd ATTEMPT
Tags: Black Metal, Carpathian Forest, Dark Essence Records, Norwegian Black Metal
Former CARPATHIAN FOREST guitarists Tchort and Bloodpervertor certainly hit the ground running when they formed their new band THE 3rd ATTEMPT. In under a year they have managed to audition musicians and get themselves a fully rehearsed lineup which made its live debut at one of Norway's biggest festivals, sifted through a selection of offers from labels before settling on Dark Essence Records, and have written and prepared all the material for their debut full-length album.
And, April 17th will see them enter the Dub Studio in Oslo, to begin recording their new album with producer Endre Kirkesola, who has worked with bands such as BLOOD RED THRONE, CHROME DIVISION, URGEHAL, TSJUDER, GREEN CARNATION, CARPATHIAN FOREST. Aside from working with some of Norway's greats in the studio, Kirkesola is also THE 3rd ATTEMPT's live sound engineer, a job he also performed for IMMORTAL.
"We are really looking forward to begin recording the album," commented guitarist Tchort. "The whole process of setting up the band and getting on stage for the first time with THE 3rd ATTEMPT has been a real boost, not just in terms of creativity, but also in terms of a renewed enthusiasm for performing. It was a boost we had really been in dire need of over the past few years".
Photos and videos from the studio will be posted on THE 3rd ATTEMPT's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/the3rdattemptofficial, and it is anticipated that the album will be released on Dark Essence Records towards the end of the year.
THE 3rd ATTEMPT recently debuted an unfinished demo track "The Beast Within", which also features CARPATHIAN FOREST's Daniel Vrangsinn on bass and Anders Kobro on drums, and which was used in a shortened form for the vocalist auditions. "The Beast Within" can be heard below and on THE 3rd ATTEMPT's SoundCloud page at https://soundcloud.com/the-3rd-attempt/the-3rd-attempt-the-beast-within-demo-track
The band's next live appearance will be at the Southern Discomfort Metal Festival, in Kristiansand, Norway, in September.

Blue skies above and warm wind blowing my hair in every direction. Purple flowers hang off cliffs that overlook the ocean. Waves crashing into black rocky ledges quickly turn into white foam upon impact. My husband standing by my side and my baby snuggled close to my chest, what a beautiful moment, what a beautiful memory.
Walking the road surrounding the lighthouse grounds. Stunning!
The oldest operational lighthouse in the world.
In the distance stands one of the oldest working lighthouses in the world. Hook lighthouse is a medieval tower that dates back to the 12th century and is still in use today, in fact it is the oldest operational lighthouse in the world. With its freshly painted white and black walls I would have never guessed its age. Noel, Isaac, and I enjoyed strolling around the Lighthouse and surrounding grounds with their spectacular ocean view and unique history.
There is a little café and restaurant along with a gift shop, but what caught my eye was the artist workshop. A local artist set up shop with beautiful ocean and lighthouse paintings on display. She also makes it available for those who want to chance their arm and give painting a go. For a fiver (€5) you can paint a picture on a slate board or for €3 on paper. The aprons, paints, brushes and slate board are all provided along with painting picture books and an amazing view. Tables are set up along the windows and anyone can grab a brush and paint alongside the friendly artist entrepreneur. What a neat way to make a memory and a souvenir.
They had fun outdoor toys set up in the grass for kids to play on.
If you are taking a walk outside the walls of the lighthouse compound be extremely careful to watch your kids, lots of dangerous cliffs and blow holes.
Check out the window view in the cafe, it is absolutely beautiful.

hi all i am looking for amp and woofer for my swift Dzire so need your advice asap because i want to buy them today.my music system is sony cdx-gt370s (i think it as 1 preout,not sure) with jbl ovel speaker(dont remember the model no.)with front 5" ultimate speaker.
Welcome to The Automotive India. I am a rookie when it comes to ICE. but rest assured, our ICE gurus will surely help you out.
Hey cooladitya007, welcome on board, have a pleasant stay. Please feel free to start your Introductions - The Automotive India thread. Also, please start your own Ownership Reports - The Automotive India with some exciting pictures of your Dzire. Looking forward to see your ride!
Coming to your question, there are lot of ICE specialists with us. Just to name one of the senior person, it is Raj. I am sure, you will get your reply soon!
Hey Cooladitya what is your budget actually? Everything depends upon the budget when it comes to cars.
But if its only 1 RCA pre-out then firstly upgrade your HU. A 1 output HU will never provide you with the complete bass and thump effect of a subwoofer.
@ cooldhaya thanks for replying.budget is aprox 10k.i know my hu is not good but dont want to upgrade the hu now.
But hey seriously you will not get your desired thump effect from your subwoofer with that HU. It will hardly be heard outside your car. If you don want subwoofer for show-off purposes then go ahead!
Your budget is very limited. You can get a 2 channel amp worth Rs.4k. Subwoofer costs another 5k. woofer enclosure costs another 1k and good quality wires cost another 2k.
If you go for grey products you can fit it in your budget but never compromise on the wiring part. Always go for good quality branded wires. These are some lessons i learnt from fitting subwoofer in my Verna!
@cooldhaya 10k only for amp and woofer+ 2k for wiring, enclosure and others.what if i go for a 4 channel amp???btw box or tube?
JBL 4 channel amp costs around 8k i guess. It will exceed your budget!
Our member Raj said he was using tube and he was not satisfied with it , better go for a box.
i am getting jbl s644 for Rs6600 with B/W.but my problem is 1 preout.and i think this jbl amp doesnt have speaker lavel input but 4 channel amp have speaker lavel input. what do u think which one will sound good,i mean jbl amp using a Y jack or speaker lavel input???
I think only Raj or Ilango can help you with this.
My suggestion change the HU first. It is the heart of the ICE.
i am also thinkig of grey but i am not sure i its orignal or fake?
If you go to any reputed installer he will give you original grey ones.
but is there any way i can find it my own?
So you wanna install those on the factory fitted HU?

The FBI's Surprisingly Thorough Investigation of Some Harassing Emails
Political BloggerBio | Follow
The Wall Street Journal provides an extra bit of detail today on the David Petraeus case. It all started in May, when Jill Kelley complained to an FBI agent she knew about receiving a series of harassing emails:
Agents spent weeks piecing together who may have sent them. They used metadata footprints left by the emails to determine what locations they were sent from. They matched the places, including hotels, where Ms. Broadwell was during the times the emails were sent. FBI agents and federal prosecutors used the information as probable cause to seek a warrant to monitor Ms. Broadwell's email accounts.
….They learned that Ms. Broadwell and Mr. Petraeus had set up private Gmail accounts to use for their communications, which included explicit details of a sexual nature, according to U.S. officials. But because Mr. Petraeus used a pseudonym, agents doing the monitoring didn't immediately uncover that he was the one communicating with Ms. Broadwell.
That's not a trivial amount of work. The FBI team spent weeks (months?) tracing email metadata, which requires court permission. Once they figured out the emails had come from Broadwell, they began tracking her movements. Then they went to court to get a warrant to read her email. Then they apparently got a warrant to monitor a second email account belonging to someone Broadwell was having an affair with. It turned out to be Petraeus.
Wow. What kind of juice does Kelley have? This sure seems like a helluva lot more than your ordinary FBI attention to some harassing emails.


On Sunday 24th June Trentham Brass played for the Open Air Memorial Service at Carmountside Crematorium. Well played Trentham Brass Band! Suffice to say that all your efforts under such high temperatures brought comments of praise and satisfaction from many people attending including the local authority representatives who asked us to perform at the memorial service.


In 2018, BMW will reveal the G20 3 Series era. To stay focused in the premium fragment, BMW expects to offer a restless and premium configuration to effectively contend with Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
The rumormill produces that the G20 3 Series' configuration has more honed wrinkles, harder edges, more gutsy radii and significantly more tightly cutlines. The sources likewise say the G20 is more in regards to "substance, character, craftsmanship, visual and haptic quality. The configuration stage is likely now moving into the earth models stage and the triumphant outline will be picked for the current year.
Utilizing the present era F30 3 Series and some new outline signals found in the BMW plan dialect, Hornof gives the 3 Series a crisp look while holding its recorded extents and position. The front-end emerges with more etched 3D kidney grilles and prolonged laser headlights.
The back components the notable L-molded taillights now with OLED and more slender and more unpretentious fumes tips. While BMW creators are the main ones that have the way to the G20 plan dialect, it's intriguing to see what the conceivable outcomes are.
Based on the profoundly adaptable new construction modeling known as CLAR – short for bunch building design – the new 3 Series will likewise convey enhanced driving elements and liveliness. To close the hole to the opposition, BMW is said to put resources into better materials, upgraded particular and higher-quality points of interest, for example, floor coverings, elastic seals and ledge covers. Inside the lodge, BMW is prone to put TV quality instrument illustrations, a more far reaching head-up showcase, and an extensive shading screen in the middle stack which mixes touchscreen access, signal control and voice enactment with the great old iDrive handle.
Moreover, the 2018 3 Series plans to offer more assortment and better esteem for the cash, which deciphers into discretionary game brakes, power units for the M Pack, bespoke help frameworks and a first class infotainment framework in a few lines.
Proficiency is at the center of the G20 models and the new 3 Series is good to go to undermine the 100g/km CO2 discharge mark by presenting the closefisted three-barrel motor to the close premium section. The passage level 316i will include a 1.5 liter three-chamber unit creating 136 hp, while its diesel partner, the 316d, produces 122 pull. The bread and margarine of the new 3 Series will be the 2.0 liter four-chamber motors which will represent most deals. The six-chamber units are sure to get noteworthy force redesigns too, the 340i is supposed to make 365 hp. The 328i's energy likewise bounced to 260 drive.
Half and half drivetrains are likewise some portion of BMW's future procedure so hope to see two cross breeds: a 1.5-liter form with a 60kW e-engine a good choice for the 30-mile selection, plus a 2. 0-liter model with a 90kW e-engine allowing a 50-mile range.

Audiovisual bimodal mutual compensation of Chinese
Science in China Series E: Technological Sciences (2001-02-01) 44: 19-26 , February 01, 2001
By Zhou, Zhi; Du, Limin; Xu, Yanjun
The perception of human languages is inherently a multi-modal process, in which audio information can be compensated by visual information to improve the recognition performance. Such a phenomenon in English, German, Spanish and so on has been researched, but in Chinese it has not been reported yet. In our experiment, 14 syllables (/ba, bi, bian, biao, bin, de, di, dian, duo, dong, gai, gan, gen, gu/), extracted from Chinese audiovisual bimodal speech database CAVSR-1.0, were pronounced by 10 subjects. The audio-only stimuli, audiovisual stimuli, and visual-only stimuli were recognized by 20 observers. The audio-only stimuli and audiovisual stimuli both were presented under 5 conditions: no noise, SNR 0 dB, −8 dB, −12 dB, and −16dB. The experimental result is studied and the following conclusions for Chinese speech are reached. Human beings can recognize visual-only stimuli rather well. The place of articulation determines the visual distinction. In noisy environment, audio information can remarkably be compensated by visual information and as a result the recognition performance is greatly improved.
An accurate stress analysis model for angle-ply laminates with weakly bonded layers
Acta Mechanica (2001-09-01) 150: 161-178 , September 01, 2001
By Shu, X.; Soldatos, K. P.
This paper presents a shear slip model suitable for the analysis of angle-ply composite laminated plates with weakly bonded layers. Being an extension of a relevant model that deals with perfectly bonded laminates, this study accounts further for the effects of shear slip by introducing appropriate interfacial bonding conditions. Accordingly, the model is based on a general five-degrees-of-freedom displacement field which includes certain general shape functions of the transverse co-ordinate. These are determined by means of appropriate three-dimensional elasticity considerations and include information relevant to the interfacial constitutive relations that account for weak bonding between layers. In dealing with weakly bonded angle-ply laminated plates in cylindrical bending, a closed form solution which is independent of the imposed boundary edge conditions is obtained. As a special case, the corresponding cross-ply laminated, weakly bonded plates solution is obtained by letting all the lamination angles involved to take 0° or 90° values. The high accuracy of the present model is shown by means of numerical comparisons with corresponding results based on an exact elasticity solution obtained for simply supported laminates. The effects of shear slip on the response of angle- and cross-ply laminated plates subjected to different edge boundary conditions are finally studied by means of corresponding numerical results that are obtained, presented and discussed.
Deregulation of the Electricity Supply Industry

By Bhattacharya, Kankar; Bollen, Math H. J.; Daalder, Jaap E.
During the nineties decade, many electric utilities and power network companies world-wide have been forced to change their ways of doing business, from vertically integrated mechanisms to open market systems. The reasons have been many and have differed over regions and countries.
Zero-Crossings of Random Processes with Application to Estimation and Detection
Nonuniform Sampling (2001-01-01): 393-437 , January 01, 2001
By Barnett, J. T.
The origin of Rice's formula for the average level-crossing rate of a general class of random processes can be traced back to his 1936 notes on "Singing Transmission Lines," [35]. For a stationary, ergodic, random process {X(t)} , -∞ < t < ∞, with sufficiently smooth sample paths, the average number of crossings about the level u, per unit time, is given by Rice's formula [36] (1) $$ E\left[ {D_u } \right] = \int_{ - \infty }^\infty {\left| {x'} \right|p\left( {u,x'} \right)dx'} $$ where p(x, x') is the joint probability density of the X(t) and its mean-square derivative X'(t), and Du is the number of u level-crossings of {X(t)} for t in the unit interval [0,1]. Rice's formula is quite general in nature, and as we shall see, has a simplified form when the process is Gaussian.

Geometric tolerance verification using superquadrics
IIE Transactions (2001-12-01) 33: 1109-1119 , December 01, 2001
By Bárcenas, C. Carolina; Griffin, Paul M.
Standards for Geometric Tolerance Verification such as ANSI Y14.5 have been in practice for many years. These standards were developed for hard gage technology, and provide little guidance for how tolerances should be verified for flexible technologies such as coordinate measuring machines or laser scanners. As a result, most techniques used in practice do not make use of proper statistical analysis of results. We present a statistically-based technique using jackknifing for geometric tolerance verification. The techniques are constructed for the superquadric parametric model representation, but are applicable to any parametric representation. The techniques are illustrated by examples, and a simulation study is provided for comparison.
Gimbal Suspension Gyro: Stability, Bifurcation, and Chaos
Journal of Dynamical and Control Systems (2001-07-01) 7: 339-351 , July 01, 2001
By Agafonov, S. A.
In this paper the solutions of three problems, devoted to the investigation of the dynamics of balanced gimbal suspension gyro (GSG) which is installed at the immovable base are presented. In the first problem the stability of stationary motion (SM) of the GSG is analyzed under which the planes of the internal and external rings of GSG are orthogonal. The moment of viscous friction and the moment which is the function of the deviation angle of the internal ring act on the external axis. The analysis of stability of SM is carried out by means of construction of Lyapunov's function with the estimation of the attraction domain. In the second problem the mechanism of the stability loss of the SM under the transfer of the bifurcational parameter through the critical value is presented. In this case the periodic motion originates (Andronov-Hopf bifurcation). The orbital stability condition of the periodic motion is found The third problem investigates the forced vibration of the GSG under the action on the internal ring of the perturbed moment which is the sum of the small moment of viscous friction and moment with small amplitude and fixed frequency. Here we consider the case where the projection of the angular moment on the axis of the external ring is equal to zero. In case of absence of the perturbations the SMs under which the external and internal rings are orthogonal or lie in the common plane are stable and unstable, respectively. For the unperturbed system the equation of the separatrix which passes through the hyperbolic points is found. For the determination of the condition of intersection of the separatrices in the perturbed system, the distance between them is calculated (Melnikov's distance). In the space of parameters the domain in which this distance can change the sign is distinguished and it is the feature of the chaotic motion arising.
A Framework for Evaluating Commonality
Design for Configuration (2001-01-01): 169-184 , January 01, 2001
By Stake, Roger B.
The issue of product families and product platforms have gained an increased interest both in academia and industry. The concept of commonality is often mentioned within this framework. However, commonality may occur at different levels of abstraction, commonality of functions or parts, and at different levels of detail, commonality of modules or parts. This paper presents a literature survey of related research on product families, product structuring and measurements associated to those areas, in order to clarify what to consider when measuring commonality. The result is a framework for measuring commonality. Firstly, there is a need to clarify the kind of commonality measured, that is, on what architectural and structural level (level of abstraction and level of detail) is the commonality measured. Secondly, there is also a need to clarify what reference that is used for calculating the commonality. The concepts of product family commonality and product variant commonality are introduced to distinguish the reference for calculating the commonality.

NDEs and REM Intrusion
Last Updated: Monday, 11 April 2016 12:06
During the past few years the worldwide press has seen a virtual explosion of headlines claiming that a condition called "REM intrusion" explains near-death experiences. The media's excitement makes it sound like a final solution. However, the people who really know NDEs say, "Not so fast."
REM intrusion is a condition that occurs when some characteristics of the common REM sleep state - such as rapid eye movement, low muscle tone, and dreaming - activate during wakefulness. Without question, there are marked similarities between REM intrusion and NDEs, just as there are similarities with other much-hyped earlier comparisons such as temporal lobe epilepsy, oxygen deprivation, and the effects of some drugs. However, once again, what the world's media overlooked in presenting the REM findings are their marked differences.
NDE research years ago firmly established clear distinctions between NDEs and hallucinations; NDErs who had also experienced REM intrusion were not asked to compare the two.
REM intrusion does not explain key NDE elements such as veridical perception, lasting aftereffects, and visual perception in the blind
REM intrusion experiencers immediately recognize that their visual and auditory experiences are not reality-based, whereas NDErs describe theirs as "realer than real."
Although the published study concludes that a higher rate of REM intrusion predisposes a person to NDEs, the NDErs weren't asked when the intrusions occurred; so, it is just as likely that they occur as a result of an NDE. Further, 40% of the NDErs said they had never had REM intrusions at all.
In this paper NDE researchers Dr. Jeffrey Long, from the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation, and Dr. Janice Miner Holden, from the University of North Texas, respond in-depth to the numerous flaws they see in the study's methodology and findings. Click here to read the paper.

Look! St Albans shortlisted in the Planning Awards for community-led placemaking 2019 for Oak Tree Gardens
Team Look! together with our partners including, St Albans City and District Council, acting as trustees and owners of the Museum of St Albans Hatfield Road, ImaginePlaces, Culture & Sport St Albans City & District Council, St Albans Museums & Galleries Trust, Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd, and St Peter's Church are thrilled to bits that we have been shortlisted in this most prestigious national award https://www.planningawards.com/finalists/oak-tree-gardens-heritage-project//
Oak Tree Gardens is a unique development project for St Albans, led by community design and initiated to provide funding for St Albans Museum and Gallery to move into its new home in the centre of the City. The design charrette was held in October 2014 and the community has remained involved ever since. A planning application was submitted at the end of 2015 and gained unanimous approval at a planning meeting held on 11 April 2016. This was the first in St Albans to be informed by a community led design charrette hosted by Look! St Albans, with the external independent facilitation team led by ImaginePlaces.
Our Chair Vanessa Gregory said "To be part of an initiative to co-design new homes development on this much loved former museum site and see the development through its construction stage to finally meeting some of the families moving in has been a privilege beyond words. The shortlisting by the Planning Awards demonstrates, I believe, that others view that collaborative planning IS the way forward."
Team Look! believe the impact of the local community's involvement is clearly demonstrated by the design which has the character and feel of St Albans. The community and landowner were committed to retaining aspects of the former museum site, including retaining three original walls from the 1898 building, protecting mature trees and respecting neighbours including St Peter's Church.
We collectively wanted this development to future showcase for St Albans, and create a proud legacy for a significant Conservation Area site. The new homes have been built using solar gain concepts in addition to complement the theme to improve environmental quality, Morgan Sindall, lead constructor, has ensured that all demolition materials from the site were collected and transferred to waste management plants for reuse. From the demolition, 2,000 existing bricks were cleaned and used to repair and patch in existing walls.
In December 2018 Cllr Annie Brewster JP, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Culture & Sport St Albans City & District Council, Trustee St Albans Museums & Galleries Trust said "St Albans City & District Council recently won a £2.8m Heritage Lottery Grant to restore the City's landmark 1831 Town Hall and Courthouse into the new St Albans Museum + Gallery. Our new £7.75m cultural hub opened to the public in June 2018 and is now receiving over 30,000 visitors each month.
To reach the total cost of the project, £3.5m needed to be raised by the District Council from developing the old St Albans Museum site. Look! St Albans brilliantly orchestrated a comprehensive Charrette process, bringing all interested stakeholders from the City together to develop a mutually agreed approach. Within the cleverly devised workshops, individuals from different organisations were able to air their differing views, then work together to solve obstacles well before the project reached its planning stages.
The stunning resultant development is a triumph, a true exemplar of multiple partnership working. The City and District are immensely proud of how it fits into its historic surroundings and its stunning design and build quality, created by our own local community. This concept of team working was an outstanding new concept for St Albans and a model we have already repeated with further developments across the District."
With the Council's agreement, Paul Barrett Project Manager Morgan Sindall facilitated community site visits with Look! to learn about the construction and challenges of working on a heritage site. Paul also provided Look! with regular updates and photographs of the construction process and information on key personnel working on site to post on our website as well as giving the community a progress report at last years AGM.
A time capsule was discovered, and it was decided to rebury the original contents. At the invitation of Morgan Sindall, Look! St Albans' chair added a letter and photographs illustrating the community's involvement in the project. St Peters Church, pupils from St Albans Gymboree and Alban City School also contributed. A ceremony led by The Mayor to bury the new time capsule took place 8th November 2018. At that ceremony Morgan Sindall invited three couples who had, subject to contract, planned to make Oak Tree Gardens their home.
On hearing of our shortlisting our partners have been as thrilled as Team Look! Paul Barrett, Project Manager, Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd contacted us saying "Well done to Look! St Albans for again being Shortlisted in the Award for community-led place making. We enjoyed seeing Look St Albans pleasure upon their dreams becoming a reality!!! It's been a fantastic opportunity, for myself and Morgan Sindall, to work on the refurbishment project for the new homes to be built within the existing museum building, all of which forms part of the St Albans City and District Council's vision to regenerate the city centre. During this opportunity, we have been very lucky to have met so many great people and certainly have been made to feel part of the community."
Richard Shwe Deputy Chief Executive (Commercial & Development) St Albans City & District Council emailed, "On behalf of Commercial & Development, thank you for a great job on getting Oak Tree Gardens Development being shortlisted. It is an amazing development and great to have Community Engagement involvement that has made it what it is today.
A proper design charrette principles in action that has moved it from an abstract paper drawing, to great architecture design into redevelopment of a museum into a marvellous home for people in the future. Well Done."
The Planning Awards Ceremony will be held on 4th June at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) 2 Savoy Place, London. Members of Team Look! are delighted will be joined by some of our partners including Morgan Sindall.

Welcome to the official Look! St Albans News/Events page. This page will be regularly updated in relation with upcoming developments etc.


Yesterday EQC made major changes to the wording of its web page on apportionment (here). The information now available is less than what was put up on the 4th of December.
If you are new to apportionment, information on the current page will not give you as good a picture of what apportionment is as the earlier material.
Where EQC hasn't done a physical assessment of damage after each event, we generally work out apportionment by allocating a proportion of the total damage value to each event (rather than allocating specific damage – such as broken tiles – to an event).
If you think you've been adversely affected by EQC's apportionment of damage and you have evidence of damage on certain dates (eg, photographs), you can provide these to EQC and ask us to reconsider your apportionment.
This is missing from the latest version with no explanation as to why this has occurred. Now that it is gone, does that mean the opportunity to have your assessment reconsidered has now been wiped? How can it exist one day and then just disappear the next? Surely there is a right to have some review process, especially considering the on-going gross incompetence displayed by EQC assessors over the last two years?
The problems arising from EQC continually changing the content of it's FAQ pages has been drawn to the attention of staff of the Office of the Auditor General. The grounds for this action were that it is a systemic problem of great importance to the general public, and that there may be issues of probity involved as well. We will have to wait to see what, if anything, happens. Sadly the long periods of time taken by public "watch dog " organisations like the Audit Office and the Office of the Ombudsman to ponder the issues mean great harm is done while they deliberate.

In 2018 we joined Harvest Hosts which is a membership program that enables RV owners to stay at least one night at participating vineyards, attractions, museums, farms, breweries, family farmsteads, historic sites and more. They also have a membership plan that includes currently over 300 golf courses. Imagine how peaceful and beautiful golf courses are after play hours!
Check out their photo gallery to sample some locations!
Check out their mapping and locations! As of this post over 710 locations are spread across the entire USA including the lower 48, Alaska and Alberta Canada- that are participating. Check out below from their website. It is a completely interactive mapping site, zoom in to see more details and pin points. The map below is zoomed out so you can see more states, the large red dots may very well be representing several Harvest Host location in one town or geographic area.
A few points to know to decide if joining Harvest Hosts will work for you….
DO SITES ALLOW TENTING? This is a membership ONLY for RV (motorhome, trailer, fifth wheel, popups) so sorry but camping in a tent is not eligible for membership.
WHY WOULD A HOST SITE ALLOW FREE CAMPING ON THEIR LAND? Hosts that sign up are hoping to use your stay as part of their marketing strategy. They hope you will buy some of their products (this is strongly encouraged!) and for sure, they hope you will be posting reviews on social media, plastering your facebook and instagram pages with photos from their business and sharing your experiences with your friends and family. After having been in the public relations and marketing business for well over half of my life (pushing 30 years work experience right now) I can testify that there is NO BETTER marketing plan than to get word of mouth testimonials for a business to build business and get new customers = revenue!
DO THEY ALLOW PETS? That will depend from site to site- so check first.
HOW MANY DAYS/NIGHTS CAN WE STAY? The program has been established that host sites must allow at least one overnight, some regularly offer two, some offer more. It is totally up to the Harvest Host site owner to determine length of stay allowed. There is no cost for an overnight if boondocking (no hookups or services provided) but we have started to hear reports and see some listings that hookups or other services or activities may be available as options at a small fee.
