The fatigue performance of electro-discharge machined Ti-6Al-4V and, more specifically, the effect of cyclic damage on the static and dynamic tensile properties of the material have been investigated. In a first step, fatigue failure was studied. Afterwards, tensile tests were performed on specimens that had been previously subjected to cyclic loading during predefined fractions of the fatigue life. In addition to conventional experiments at quasi-static strain rate, dynamic tests were performed using a split Hopkinson tensile bar setup. The edges of some of the specimens were removed after cyclic loading to discriminate between the effects of damage at the edges and in the bulk of the material. Results revealed that early fatigue failure is due to the growth of cracks on the machined edges of the specimens. Edge cracks can randomly reduce fracture strain and energy absorbing capacity. However, cyclic damage does not affect the tensile properties of the bulk material.

Single Lipo battery driven DSP based sound effector. Built-in 16 type of effect will show you "a new version of historical recording"
Lipo Battery (3.7V) is essential but not included in this item. Please find it at your local reseller. Any capacity (1000mAh-2000mAh are best) will work.
This is another version of my previous item "Sound Toy Box". Now the board can work by single Lipo battery (3.7V). The battery can be recharged through the onboard charging circuit through mini-USB connector. The board is DSP based real-time signal processor not only for general guitar effector but also working for "personal audio toy box". It has a pre-programmed 16 types wonderful sound effector inside V1000 by coolaudio. When we listen to old historical recording like Beatles through this board, we can get "Get Back in The Cavern club". Not limited to Rock, classic music and any music will have "another new version" by this board!
The previous version works with 5V AC/DC adaptor but not always AC power source available. Battery operation is more handy and useful for general use. But simple Lipo battery connection does not work because AD/AD converter (cool audio V4220M) requires 5 V (V1000 works for 3.3 V). As for the solution, onboard voltage booster is prepared, and AD/DA and Op-amps are working perfectly on 5V. Voltage booster works 1.6 MHz and no interference to audio quality.
16 types (reverb, echo, phaser, flanger...) sound effect can be made and easily switched by the rotary encoder.
Tiny OLED display presents the current sound effect name. The display is SSD1306 connected to ATmega328 and easy to program.
Objective of this item is, audio application. For guitar effector application you may need additional amplifier for input.
Lipo battery is NOT optional but the essential part for operation. Please find single cell Lipo battery (3.7V). Any capacity will work. The Lipo battery for the operation is NOT USB power pack (USB battery).

Karl Denson Joins The Rolling Stones
Karl Denson
Karl Denson has announced that he will join The Rolling Stones on saxophone for nine shows in Australia and New Zealand on their 14 On Fire tour. The shows start at the end of the month in Adelaide and run into late November. The acclaimed reedman, songwriter and bandleader is best known for fronting the prolific touring juggernaut, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, who regularly perform over 150 shows a year. Their most recent album, New Ammo, was released in February 2014. DownBeat Magazine called it "music for both the party and for fans of instrumental prowess." In addition, Denson is one of the founding members of seminal boogaloo revivalists, The Greyboy Allstars. He first came to national attention as a member of Lenny Kravitz's Let Love Rule-era band.
"It's the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to see the world through a giant pair of lips," says Denson about his upcoming shows with The Rolling Stones. "It's going to be amazing to get even closer to this music that I have listened to all my life."
Denson has had to postpone his upcoming tour dates with The Tiny Universe in order to tour with The Rolling Stones. An announcement is forthcoming as to when those shows will be rescheduled.

Q: how to mark pages as visited in chrome extensions? What I want to do is to execute a script on an active tab only when it's Highlighted and that script wasn't executed before on that page.

*

*The execution is when the tab is highlighted.

*The execution must be only once for the page unless if it was refreshed.

*If the page was refreshed or the link(location) of the tab was changed then I must execute the script the next time the tab is highlighted.

What I'm basically thinking of doing after surfing the internet is to store a variable in the page window and check it every time.
At first i tried this
chrome.tabs.onHighlighted.addListener(function(){
    var query = { active: true, currentWindow: true };
    chrome.tabs.query(query, function(tabs) {
        chrome.windows.get(tabs[0].windowId, function(window){
            if(!window.fbaVisitedPage){
                window.fbaVisitedPage=true;
                //execute script here only once per page.
            }
        });
    });
});

but it didn't work, so I tried to use the default window variable
chrome.tabs.onHighlighted.addListener(function(){
    var query = { active: true, currentWindow: true };
    chrome.tabs.query(query, function(tabs) {
        chrome.windows.get(tabs[0].windowId, function(win){//change is here
            if(!window.fbaVisitedPage){
                window.fbaVisitedPage=true;
                //execute script here only once per page.
            }
        });
    });
});

The problem in the second code is that the variable window.fbaVisitedPage is still defined even after I refresh the page. I was expecting the variable window.fbaVisitedPage to become undefined after the page is refreshed but that didn't happened.
How can I solve this problem? How can I mark a page as visited and unmark it if the page was reloaded or it's `location' was changed?

You've picked out your hardware and set up the basics, optimized your network for speed and performance, and set up remote access. Now it's time for a little fun. Here's a look at some cool bonus features you may have on your router and how you can learn more.
We've already covered most of the great big things you'd want to do with your home network, but there are a few extras your router may support that could come in handy right now or some day down the line. We're going to give you a brief overview of some of these bonus features so you can decide if you want to give them a shot and learn more about them.
If you have more than one router, you probably don't have much use for the second one. That is, unless it's in bridge mode. Bridge mode will turn a router into a Wi-Fi repeater so it can take the signal from your original router and broadcast it in another area of your home. If you're trying to get better wireless coverage around the house, this is a good way to make it happen.
Bridge mode can work in two different ways, and what type of router you have will determine if you can use only one of these ways or both. More commonly you'll have the ability to connect the bridged router via ethernet and then use it only to broadcast a wireless signal. Less commonly, the bridged router can do the same thing but connect over Wi-Fi. This comes with the disadvantage of slightly degraded performance. If you have a bunch of routers in your home you also run the risk of added interference. That said, this can be an effective way to ensure you actually get a signal where you need it.
You have your primary wireless network, of course, but if you want to separate guests you can set up a guest network. This will give them a separate SSID to choose when connecting and keep them from accessing anything locally. It's not a bad idea for security and privacy purposes. You'll find the guest networks feature on custom firmware DD-WRT and some other routers as well. To see how to set it up with DD-WRT, watch the video to the left. If you want to enable guest networks on your non-DD-WRT router, first make sure you have the feature. It's more common with higher-end routers, but still not a feature every router will have. In most cases the setup will be very simple and you'll simply need to turn guest networks on.
For Cisco/Linksys E-series routers, you'll need to use the Cisco Connect software included with your router to enable a guest network. It will not be on the router admin page. Once you run the software, just click "Change" in the Guest Account area and it will create a guest username and password. When a guest connects to the guest network's SSID, that username and password will be necessary in order for them to use it.
Belkin routers with this feature will have the option on the admin page in the Guest Access section. The same goes for D-Link routers, but the area is called Guest Zone. Some Netgear routers should have a similar option as well. If you're using a newer Apple router, MacLife has a great setup guide.
For more information on guest networks, check out our guide.
We've mainly talked about routers in these lessons, but there's more networking hardware to learn about. The Petri IT Knowledgebase has an article the differences between routers, switches, and hardware firewalls you might want to read to learn more.
If you run into trouble down the line, DV Hardware has a handy router troubleshooting guide. eHow also has a variety of troubleshooting articles, some specific to certain kinds of routers.
We've already talked about how to do a lot of practical things with your home network, but it doesn't hurt to know exactly what's actually making all of that stuff work behind the scenes. HowStuffWorks has a good explainer on the subject.
One of the most valuable sources for information about your router is the user guide. It's probably a little dry, yes, but it still contains lots of good things you'll want to know. If you need to ease yourself into learning about everything, look at your router's admin pages and see if there are any tool tips or sidebar help blurbs. Often times router admin pages include more information right where you'll need it most.
Lastly, About.com recommends several home networking books if you really want to read quite a bit more. We don't have much experience with home networking how-to literature, and encourage you to explore and learn on your own, but if you like the comfort of a book you might find what you need on that list.
That's all for this week's night school course on home networks. As always, if you're behind on your lessons, you can find everything you've missed and a PDF of all the lessons in the Know Your Network Complete Guide.

Welcome to Xinjiang. But You Are Not Allowed to Leave
Through government incentives, Han Chinese have been lured to Xinjiang to accelerate the "hanification" of ethnic Muslims. Now, it's not easy for them to return home.
by Wang Yong
To supplement its systematic mass suppression of Muslims in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, which some equate to genocide, by detaining millions in transformation through education camps in the name of "fighting extremism," the Chinese regime has encouraged Han Chinese to relocate to Xinjiang. Intended to weaken the cultural fabric of Uyghurs and other ethnic Muslims, the "hanification" campaign has been stimulated by giving the Hans generous benefits and promising them a prosperous and happy life in their new home.
Bitter Winter interviewed two people who had relocated to Xinjiang. They asked not to use their real names, so we use pseudonyms.
"It was so easy to transfer our household registration to Xinjiang, but we cannot relinquish it now," lamented Mr. Chen, who moved his family from the central province of Henan to southern Xinjiang a few years ago where he started a wholesale vegetable business.
In 2017, the family decided to return to home, so Mr. Chen started the official procedure to transfer their household registrations from Xinjiang to Henan. The mission turned out to be impossible.
"I've even tried to have our Xinjiang registrations relinquished with bribes to officials and through friends with connections in the Xinjiang government, but with no luck," Mr. Chen said.
After two years of futile attempts, the family decided to risk transferring back home without the registration. They are back in Henan, but their household registration is still in Xinjiang. They are only temporary residents in their home town, with no rights for the basic medical and social care, and their son cannot enroll in school.
In China, hukou, a household registration system, regulates citizens' access to government services, such as healthcare, education, retirement pensions, and other social programs. It is also indispensable in getting a job or a place to live. Therefore, the regime often uses it to control the population and its internal migration.
Xinjiang government officials are inspecting shops.
"Officials in Henan refuse to accept my household registration under the pretext that they are 'preventing rioters from traveling inland,' Mr. Chen said with frustration.
When asked what the main reason to leave Xinjiang was, Mr. Chen's said that it was getting hard to support the family doing business because the government is concentrating all its efforts on the so-called "stability maintenance" instead of economic development. "Also, most Uyghur men have been detained, only a few are left who can be hired for work in my line of business," Mr. Chen explained.
He added that in the area he used to live and work, law enforcement officers often cordon off streets, especially on holidays and festivals. On major holidays, like the National Day on October 1, the whole area and highways leading to the area were totally blocked, so fresh vegetables couldn't be shipped to other areas. They could only be sold at a low price in his neighborhood, resulting in enormous losses for Mr. Chen's business.
A street in Xinjiang.
The distressing situation of human rights was another critical factor in determining the family's decision to leave Xinjiang.
"There is no personal freedom in Xinjiang at all," Mr. Chen said. "People must show their IDs and undergo body searches when they go to the supermarket or a pharmacy, travel by bus or train. They have to be cautious when speaking, censor themselves not to say 'sensitive' words. You can be investigated just for hearing someone complain about the government."
It has also become difficult to sell the real estate property in Xinjiang. "It was easy to sell houses in the past, but now, it has become really challenging, since people are selling more and more property. Most Han people are desperate to leave, not wanting to live in Xinjiang any longer," Mr. Chen said.
"Don't go to Xinjiang!"
Mr. Zhang, who started his training business only two years ago in southern Xinjiang, also wants to leave as soon as possible.
"I've lost nearly 450,000 RMB (about $ 65,000), all of which I brought to Xinjiang with me. The social stability has overtaken the economic development in Xinjiang," Mr. Zhang said. "The government may close your business 'for rectification' under any pretext. It is a daily occurrence, so it's hard to keep a business running. There used to be more than 100 training agencies like mine, but now only just over ten are left."
As Mr. Chen, he is in the same predicament – the city authorities in southern Xinjiang where he lives also refuse him to relinquish his registration and allow his family to return home. The government only processes new registrations but doesn't rescind them, officials claim.
The gravity of the situation is evident just visiting the websites of Xinjiang government institutions. Residents who want to leave the region are frustrated and anxious, constantly posting requests for information as to when they will be allowed to return to their places of origin.
Xinjiang residents posted questions online to government institutions regarding the process of their registration transfers.
The office of Gaoxin district in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, had a notice posted on the official site, saying that "as per the orders from the higher levels of government, household deregistration is suspended" in the district.
The Gaoxin district of Urumqi stated on the official website that "household deregistration is suspended" in the district
In a video, entitled "Advice to Graduates: Don't Go to Xinjiang!," widely circulated online in the summer, a Han Chinese man, using a voice changer, warns graduates who are attracted by the government's promises of excellent conditions for settling in Xinjiang not to go there.
"Once you move to Xinjiang, you will have no other choice but to stay there," the man in the video says. Those who have relocated to Xinjiang and refused to have their eye retinas scanned, fingerprints and blood samples taken, would have their household registrations frozen, i.e., they would not be able to move out of Xinjiang legally to live elsewhere in China. Residents with Xinjiang registration are scrutinized much harder anywhere they go in China, no matter their ethnicity, the video warns.
The man in the video explains that the Xinjiang government cannot fulfill its promises to those who have relocated as all its money is used to maintain social stability. Transformation through education camps are omnipresent, and even civil servants can be sent there for making a mistake at work.

The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 is the current iteration of the ESEA, the federal government's primary mechanism for holding public schools accountable, closing achievement gaps among different student populations and supporting schools in improvement efforts. ESSA creates a long-term stable federal policy that gives states additional flexibility and encourages states and schools to innovate, while at the same time being accountable for results. The act generally includes separate authorizations for various programs. This flexibility from the U.S. Department of Education allows Maine to implement its own statewide plan to improve educational outcomes for all students, close achievement gaps and increase the quality of instruction.
NCLB grant funds are used in RSU #38 to provide intervention for students who are not meeting literacy standards in the elementary grades and for professional development to increase student achievement. If you'd like more information about the NCLB grant, or would like to comment on the the grant prior to submission in July each year, please contact the Superintendent of Schools or Nancy Harriman, Director of Instruction, Curriculum and Assessment: nancy_harriman@maranacook.org.


I am 31 years old Female and I have been vaping for about a years and running our new shop eCIG Juiced with my partner Mark in Gloucestershire for the last 3 months.
I am absolutely passionate about the method as an aid to switching from tobacco and have benefited greatly myself from doing so. I smoked since I was 18 and tried many other methods of quitting with no success. As a horse rider my health and fitness have improved dramatically since along with my bank balance. My partner Mark had a stroke a few years ago and has also been a huge motivation for starting the business, we are total converts and are very knowledgeable and up to date on the latest developments in the industry.
When did you setup your shop?
We started Ecigjuiced Ltd online nearly 2 years ago and have opened our first uk shop this year due to a gap in the market for people being able to try the juices and see/try the bits of equipment which they can't do online, so far we are thrilled with the response and have big plans for expansion.
What inspired you to start a business in the e-cigarette industry?
As mentioned Marks illness was our major inspiration to start as he had to find a way of giving up tobacco and whilst ecigs were available he felt it could be complicated (geeky) and daunting for the new entrant to the market so we are working hard to simplify things for the newbie.
What have been you biggest challenges?
Our greatest challenge is marketing ourselves effectively and building our brand.
Do you make your own e-Liquid?
We have a range of own branded juices made here in the UK which have been really popular and create a lot of repeat business. We currently offer nearly 100 different flavours ranging in mg strengths, 10ml, 20ml, premium and economy ranges to suit many tastes, with a few weird ones thrown in for the adventurous.
Competition is high now as the market goes from strength to strength but I feel our proposition of keeping it simple & offering good quality is a real strength. Our shop is also set up quite differently to many vape shops.
Quality is essential and as product is mostly coming from China, we have worked very hard at finding good manufactures and staying away from counterfeit, we are authorised Innokin distributors and have super relationships with other reputable names like Smiss and Kangertech.
As mentioned our new shop is set up for sampling (we also have hygiene methods in place) we have a new click and collect service online and offer free delivery on a lot of our items. We think our pricing is very fair and good value, some stuff on the market today is hugely inflated and terrible value which is unfair on new nieve customers, this is why we feel our repeat business is so high as we build trust.
What do you offer differently to your competitors?
We are offering products that are newish on the market and not seen in our area so far that are selling very well and we have our hands on samples of a new products as of today unlaunched, so are always looking for innovation to offer our customers.


If your baby was born this week, she'd still need some help with breathing and feeding. But it's reassuring to know that basically she's in pretty good shape for survival. However, you are unlikely to go into labour this early. Now is your chance to start practising the relaxation and pain-relieving exercises that you've been learning at your antenatal classes. The more familiar you are with the techniques, the more they will help you during labour.
1.The fundus, or top of the uterus, is high in your abdomen and the pressure under your ribs may make it impossible for you to enjoy a full meal without discomfort.
2.Your baby's gut would be able to process food if she were to be born this week. All the digestive enzymes are now active.
3.At 34 weeks the average crown to heel length is 45cm (17.7in) and the average weight is 2.1kg (4.7lb).
4.The position of the baby is unlikely to change between now and the birth if this is your first pregnancy.
5.The amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby varies in individual pregnancies. At this stage, the fluid has reached its maximum level.
Congratulations, you've made it to week 34 of your pregnancy. You may be feeling like you've been pregnant forever! Please note that most babies don't arrive on their due date or even within a couple of days of that target. Many babies arrive after week 37 or a couple of weeks after their due date. Every pregnancy is different and there's usually no harm if a baby arrives a week or two early or late. By this week your baby should weigh approximately 2.3-2.5 kg.
The top of your uterus can now be felt approximately 5-and a-half inches above your belly button. It is important to remember that every woman's pregnancy is different, so your measurements may vary from other pregnant women. The most important thing is that your uterus is growing at a consistent rate.
During the last several weeks, we have discussed that your baby's body has begun to accumulate fat under the skin. This is an important part of development because these fat stores will help your baby regulate body temperature after delivery. The baby's central nervous system is continuing to mature, and the lungs are well-developed. While most doctors would ideally like you to carry up to 38 to 40 weeks, your baby has a good chance of surviving outside of the womb at this time.
Blurry vision: Not only can your vision seem a bit blurry these days, but a decrease in tear production can leave your eyes dry and irritated, especially if you wear contact lenses. Be happy as these changes are all temporary and normal. Things should clear up as your eyes return to normal after delivery.
Belly button: You may have noticed that your belly button has become an 'outie' or that it is extremely sensitive. If this is the case, you can take a band-aid to cover it.
This is a good time to familiarize yourself with the birthing process. First, visit the labour room of the hospital where you're planning to give birth. Go ahead and fill out any pre-registration paperwork and talk with your doctor about pain management options like epidural for the big day. And if you have any questions about the delivery itself, make a list and go over them with your doctor.
Also start preparing your environment for the baby which may include investing in a baby bed, a feeding pillow, a breast pump (if you have to get back to work), baby clothes, your personal hygiene items etc. Also pack a hospital bag and stow it either in the car, or near the entrance of the door, so you have it with you at all times.
A healthy diet during pregnancy is critical for the growth of the baby. A pregnancy diet is always a topic of discussion. There are things to worry about, and then there are things not to.
Moderation: Eat in moderation foods that include oils, salad dressing, cream, chocolate, biscuits, pudding, cake, ice cream and even cold drinks. A bit of healthy fats such as ghee and butter are welcome to give you the required energy. So, don't be scared of them yet don't go overboard.
Go Dairy: Milk and milk products are very good during pregnancy because of the high calcium content. However, opt for low-fat versions whenever possible to keep the calories in check.
Heartburn: Heartburn and indigestion may be troubling you more because of your growing uterus that is squeezing against your tummy and other internal organs. All the indigestion could also be causing sleeplessness. So, before bedtime keep the meal light and non-spicy.
Mood swings: Like most expectant mothers at 34 weeks, you're probably feeling anxious, nervous, and really low. Keep your mood positive by listening to good music, watching some funny movies, or being around with people who make you feel negative. Avoid people who tire or frighten you with their own tales of terrible labour pains and other miseries.
Let's hear what moms have to say about their own experiences of pregnancy.
"My amniotic fluid level was normal during week 33 but suddenly dipped in the coming week. I didn't realise it was leaking, until I went for a check up. My doctor told me to go to the hospital immediately. I wasn't prepared to deliver, but I was told if I waited any more it could be harmful for my twin girls, so I delivered in week 34," shares Arti Singh.
"I faced issues with my vision in last leg of my pregnancy. I remember everything was blurry around me. I went for an eye exam and my doctor gave me some eye drops to lubricate my eyes. But the blurred vision became alright as soon as I delivered," shares Tanvi.
Summer: Avoid direct mid-day sun, because pregnant women are more prone to sunburn than non-pregnant women. Also, all the exhaustion of carrying the baby can make you feel weak and tired very soon in excessive heat. Keep yourself well hydrated.
Monsoon: Try wearing loose and light weighted clothes during monsoon as it is necessary to give full comfort to your baby bump. If the air becomes chilly, do cover yourself up as you don't want to be falling sick at this stage. Each well-cooked and fresh food to keep off any stomach bugs.
Winter: Use a humidifier to counter the dryness generated by a heater. Or you can keep a bowl of water in front of the heater. This helps to add moisture to the dry air. Also, keep the mood upbeat by chatting up with friends and family.

Q: Loop projects in a solution within MSBuild At my place of work, we have a 'Core' solution containing a number of projects providing different utility functions which are packaged via nuget and published to an internal nuget server. In order to achieve the nuget packaging from our CI, we currently have an MSBuild script that looks like this:
<Exec Command="nuget pack "$(ProjectRoot)\Domain\Domain.csproj" -Properties Configuration=$(Configuration)" />
<Exec Command="nuget pack "$(ProjectRoot)\Logging\Logging.csproj" -Properties Configuration=$(Configuration)" />
<Exec Command="nuget pack "$(ProjectRoot)\Logging.NLog\Logging.NLog.csproj" -Properties Configuration=$(Configuration)" />
<Exec Command="nuget pack "$(ProjectRoot)\Persistence\Persistence.csproj" -Properties Configuration=$(Configuration)" />
<Exec Command="nuget pack "$(ProjectRoot)\Persistence.NHibernate\Persistence.NHibernate.csproj" -Properties Configuration=$(Configuration)" />

We have about 20 projects being packed this way, and every time we introduce a new project to be packed we have to add another line to the MSBuild script. Is it possible to enumerate the projects in a solution using MSbuild, and thus condense this script into something like...
<foreach project in solution>
    <Exec Command="nuget pack project -Properties Configuration=$(Configuration)" />
</foreach>

Additionally, we'd need to be able to interrogate each project in the loop to exclude test projects (these are all under a Tests directory so should be trivial?)
EDIT: Other questions deal with the issue of executing msbuild tasks in a loop, but the solutions involve manually enumerating the items to be looped upon in an ItemGroup, so would result in slightly simpler but still very verbose code. I want to avoid enumerating the projects by hand if possible.

A: You could use the properties SolutionDir and SolutionName to locate the solution file and then write a custom target to find all the projects included into your solution. I made it like this:
<Target Name="AfterBuild" DependsOnTargets="PublishNuGetPackages" />
<Target Name="PublishNuGetPackages">
    <CollectNuGetProjects SolutionDir="$(SolutionDir)" SolutionName="$(SolutionName)">
        <Output TaskParameter="NuGetProjects" ItemName="NuGetProjects" />
    </CollectNuGetProjects>
    <Message Text="Collected the following nuget projects: @(NuGetProjects)" Importance="high" />
    <Exec Command="nuget pack "$(SolutionDir)\%(NuGetProjects.Identity)" -Properties Configuration=$(Configuration)" />
    <!-- publish packages etc... -->
</Target>

<UsingTask TaskName="CollectNuGetProjects"
       TaskFactory="CodeTaskFactory"
       AssemblyFile="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v4.0.dll">
    <ParameterGroup>
        <SolutionName ParameterType="System.String" Required="true" />
        <SolutionDir ParameterType="System.String" Required="true" />
        <NuGetProjects ParameterType="System.String[]" Output="true" />
    </ParameterGroup>
    <Task>
        <Reference Include="System.Linq" />
        <Using Namespace="System" />
        <Using Namespace="System.Linq" />
        <Using Namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions" />
        <Code Type="Fragment" Language="cs">
            <![CDATA[
                var solutionFile = Path.Combine(SolutionDir, SolutionName + ".sln");
                var solutionText = File.ReadAllText(solutionFile);
                NuGetProjects = Regex.Matches(solutionText, @"""(?<projectFile>[^""]+?\.(csproj|wixproj|vcxproj))""")
                    .Cast<Match>()
                    .Select(m => m.Groups["projectFile"].Value)
                    .Where(p => !p.Contains(@"\Tests\"))
                    .ToArray();
        ]]>
        </Code>
    </Task>
</UsingTask>

La Torre i muralles dels Borja és un conjunt arquitectònic del municipi valencià de Canals (la Costera), al nucli de la Torreta de Canals (al qual dona nom). Està declarat bé d'interès cultural des del 3 d'abril de 2000 amb codi 46.23.081-003 i anotació ministerial RI-51-0010524. La hi coneix també per Torreta de Canals.

Descripció
La torre és de planta quadrada i tres altures, encara que al  es va derruir l'última. L'accés original es realitzava a través d'un arc de mig punt de carreu al primer pis, que era la forma habitual d'accés a les torres de defensa perquè permetia aïllar-la simplement retirant l'escala d'accés. En l'actualitat té l'accés a la primera planta a través d'una escala metàl·lica. Està construïda enterament en pedra i maçoneria. La primera i la segona planta s'obren a l'exterior mitjançant finestres sageteres i a la planta es troba una gran cambra amb tres finestres rectangulars. La terrassa és accessible, conservant com a element defensiu un ampit amb merlets.

Història
Basant-se en les restes trobades, es data la seva construcció al  durant l'època musulmana. Després de la Reconquesta la fortificació va quedar abandonada sense ús, però en el segle XIV es va construir un palau gòtic reutilitzant la torre musulmana i part de la muralla. Aquest palau pertanyia a la família Borja, titulars de la Baronia de la Torre. Calixt III és un dels membres d'aquesta família nascuts en aquest edifici. El 1506 va ser venuda, amb la Baronia, a l'ajuntament de Xàtiva. El consistori xativí va ser propietari de l'edifici durant els segles següents, en què es va produir la ruïna progressiva del palau. El 1758 va ser necessari restaurar-lo i el 1847, novament en ruïnes, va ser venut per l'ajuntament de Xàtiva a diversos particulars. Finalment l'ajuntament de Canals va adquirir la torre i la va restaurar en 1995, eliminant els edificis que s'havien anat adossant a la torre.

Tetehosi I is een bestuurslaag in het regentschap Gunungsitoli van de provincie Noord-Sumatra, Indonesië. Tetehosi I telt 2061 inwoners (volkstelling 2010).

Plaats in Noord-Sumatra


Since becoming a "professional baker" (who is still very much in-training) I'm often asked if I have a good-slash-favourite recipe for all manner of things, and it's made me realise how poor my collection of stock recipes actually is. Sure, I have a few books and/or cooks-slash-bakers that I tend to turn to first, but "Do you have a good banana bread recipe?", "Well...", "Oh, and what's a great recipe for making scones?", "Erm..."
Part of the problem is that there are just so many different things out there that I rarely settle long on any given subject before getting distracted and moving on to the next "must try". But even when I do stay focussed on the one topic there's only so much of the same thing you (and your neighbours, colleagues, random passers by...) will happily eat, and trying to decide which of the multitude of variations you should attempt can easily get a tad overwhelming.
The other problem is that everyone has a different opinion on what makes the perfect something. Take, for instance, sticky buns. Having realised recently that I didn't have even the beginnings of a go-to recipe I put out the call for suggestions. A number of people recommended the Bouchon Bakery version but, while sounding utterly delicious, it also appeared more of a caramel-glazed brioche than a proper sticky bun.
Of course, for many that probably IS a proper sticky bun but to me, a sticky bun needs to be more bready. It should have a soft white crumb with that stretchy, almost chewy quality that I really need to work on being able to better describe. There should be a good amount of spice in the filling and I prefer them with nuts, which adds a nice textural contrast to the soft dough and sweet, sticky topping. They should be not long from the oven, as they are best enjoyed "still-warm", and have that just-right filling to topping ratio that immediately destroys any attempt at politeness as soon as you start eating them.
For the dough, combine the yeast, sugar and slightly-warmed milk in the bowl of a stand mixer and leave for around five minutes, until frothy. Whisk in the butter, yolks and whole egg, followed by half of the flour. Add the remaining flour and salt and knead with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes, until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and leave in a warm place for 1 ½ - 2 ½ hours, until doubled by half again.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by stirring together the sugars, spices, salt and zest.
About an hour before the dough is ready, make the caramel by first melting the butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil and then leave to simmer for 5-7 minutes, until glossy. Pour into the base, and up the sides, of a 25-cm square cake tin, then refrigerate until ready to use.
To assemble the buns, roll the dough into a 30-cm × 45-cm rectangle, brush with the melted butter, and then sprinkle with the sugar filling and one-third of the chopped pecans. Working from a long edge, roll tightly into a log and then cut into 12, ~4-cm sections. Sprinkle the remaining pecans over the caramel and arrange the buns in the tin, cut side up. Cover and leave in a warm room for 1-2 hours, until risen and almost touching.
Bake the buns at 175°C for 30-40 minutes, until puffed and golden. Rest in the pan for 2-3 minutes before turning out, spooning over any remaining caramel that's left in the pan. Serve warm*.
** Reserve two-thirds of the chopped pecans for the topping.
** SK recommends storing any leftover buns in the fridge and rewarming just before serving.

Brett McCracken's new book Gray Matters: Navigating the Space Between Legalism & Liberty is a vade mecum for cultured Christians. It's for Christians who are either up to date enough that they'd never say vade mecum, or who are way past up to date and are trying to bring vade mecum back.
A vade mecum is a handbook (literally a "go with me") that a wayfarer would want to have along on a journey, and Christians are certainly on a journey through culture in these strange days. McCracken (author of the timely and well-received Hipster Christianity) has written a thoughtful book, one that will provide direction, bring clarity, and prompt deep reflection. But none of those words quite capture the way Gray Matters is designed to be put into immediate use.
Gray Matters is a how-to book, though a particularly cerebral one (as the neurological pun in the title suggests). It gives the reader a proper orientation for how to be a consumer. That is not a fashionable way to put things, because at least since Andy Crouch's important 2008 book evangelicals have been exhorted to get past the baby steps of culture-consuming and culture-critiquing, to the responsible and constructive business of Culture Making. And as McCracken admits, "consumer is a very ugly word when we think of it in the Vegas sense, but there are other ways to think about it. One can consume in a manner that is passionate yet dignified, sensuous yet controlled, thoughtful yet not academic."
So "one of this book's aims is to rehabilitate the term consumption," rescuing it from the connotation of "something indulgent, reckless, and altogether unseemly." A short sidebar on page 17 lists eight "ways we cheapen consumption, and a few pages later in the introductory chapter McCracken lays out seven themes that he will develop throughout the book:
1. Partaking in culture is part of our mission.
2. Mature consumption requires wise stewardship of our resources.
3. Community plays a vital role in partaking of culture.
4. Enjoying God's good creation is an act of worship.
5. It is good to cultivate and refine our taste.
6. We need to be trained in discernment, the ability to assess critically.
7. Healthy enjoyment requires moderation.
The bulk of the book is made up of discussions of food, pop music, movies, and alcohol, which McCracken says are "four areas of pop culture that we don't often think about as necessarily theological." But if you've ever been in or worked with a youth group, you know that these are four of the main topics that draw young people into spirited theological debate. In the four major sections of the book, McCracken takes that youth group discourse and situates it in a much broader context. It looks to me like the decisions being made by fourteen-year-olds about what to listen to and what to eat really do map onto significant struggles faced by evangelical twenty-somethings today, and increasingly by thirty-somethings and beyond. I don't know how young of an audience could handle McCracken's book: it seems to me it would take an extraordinarily thoughtful and sensitive high school student to profit from it. But perhaps you know one. And if I were still involved in youth or college ministry, I would be leaving copies of this book laying around on every horizontal surface in my office, to be perused by students, parents, pastors, and ordinary church members.
One of the things that will commend Gray Matters to a sophisticated audience is the way McCracken dares to mine his own experiences as a consumer, critic, and appreciator of the range of cultural goods. After talking about the ways we go wrong and right with food, he provides a three-page list of his own peak moments as an eater. It's a nice touch: instead of being self-indulgent or exhibitionist, it's an evocative way of prompting the reader to consider, "what should be on my own timeline of food memories?" Personally, I realized that it would be a slow and difficult task for me to come up with three pages as thoughtful as McCracken's. The reason? I'm probably guilty of ingratitude and unreflectiveness in my gustatory life.
McCracken includes similar interludes on the subject of music and movies, and the specificity of his lists of favorite bands and movies will be a good hook to help readers engage. He is especially in his element discussing film, and draws on his experience as a movie reviewer for Christianity Today, even including some reflections on the feedback his published reviews have received. I especially appreciated the concreteness and vulnerability with which he described his opinions about two movies that fall just above and just below the line of what he'll expose himself to as a Christian consumer of film. The two movies are both edgy, and he's not willing to recommend either of them for others: the recent Shame and the older Salò. His description of why one falls just within his acceptable range and the other just beyond it carries the perfect ring of honesty. He can barely decide about these movies, but he has to. Good consumers will face this situation over and over.
But for all the up-to-date film and music references, what I appreciate most about Gray Matters is what strikes me as the old-fashioned wisdom that pervades it. In particular, McCracken is excited to teach people the crucial skill of negotiating the middle path between the opposite errors of legalism and license. I grew up with a good grasp of these two errors, and at least in my memory ordinary Christians talked about them in exactly those terms. They are not categories I hear very much of these days, and I sometimes think that's because so many young Christians have settled into one camp or the other. McCracken bids fair to revive the categories and teach thoughtful Christians how to use them. He writes crisply and engagingly on them; even the animated trailer for the book gets the basic idea across in a few seconds. You can learn this stuff from the Puritans, I suppose, but it sure is nice to have it in contemporary idiom.
One final remark. I like to situate Christian books like this in their proper place within the categories of systematic theology. A lot of Christian books are too unfocused to locate in this manner, but McCracken's is clear. This is fundamentally an entry in the Christian doctrine of creation, and particularly in the interface between humanity and the rest of God's good world. Because of its practical nature and the weather eye it keeps on the church's mission, it could also fit into the category of discipleship. But as a handbook for becoming consummate consumers, Gray Matters fills out some neglected chapters in the doctrine of created goods.

FITS OF MUTATION
By Kelly Burnette
The last few years have seen Brooklyn's wayward anomaly Animal Collective dropped into the musical petri dish multiple times, doused with whatever was lying around beneath the kitchen sink and mutating at an accelerated pace. They have migrated from lysergically laced experimental arrangements toward more accessible folk and pop influences, emphasized in the abundant employ of processed vocals and harmonies. Their latest CD, Sung Tongs, is a full, rich work of interwoven voice and acoustic guitar strewn with smatterings of Brazilian rhythms and broken hip-hop beats, as well as a boundless sense of play evidenced by the studio-as-laboratory engineering.
Animal Collective's folk leanings shouldn't be misunderstood as being any sort of vapid granola trend, as all the signposts pointing to their current, digitally fractured sound have been present and alive on the group's previous recordings. As member Brian Weitz (or "Geologist," as he's known in the band) says, "That's just what we were exploring for a period of time, and I'm sure we'll come back to it again, but hopefully differently. We've always loved acoustic music, but we don't have any interest in doing the folk-revival thing. I don't understand why people put us in that group of musicians. Maybe it's the presence of acoustic guitars, or because we like Vashti Bunyan and worked with her, but I don't think the song structures are traditional in any way on records like Campfire Songs or Sung Tongs. Right now our music is mostly electric."
When asked if there is a shamanistic element to their music (which one could easily assume, given the group's, um, animal tendencies, not to mention the bunny and turtle suits), he explains, "We're very connected to nature on a personal and unconscious level. We have been ever since we were kids. It's definitely a common bond we share. I think this intuitive love of nature makes us drawn to shamanism. We're conscious of it, but it's because we believe that it's the right way for us to express ourselves. It's not conscious in a gimmicky way."
In fact, there is little at all obvious, or worse, gimmicky, about the music. It teeters gingerly between darling postures composed of awkward pastoral romanticism on the one hand, and on the other risks embracing psychedelic oddness for its own sake. While their latest effort does take a firm step in a more conventional direction, Sung Tongs is more confounding because of the impossibility of eluding attempts at driving a categorical stake through its beating heart. Animal Collective manages not to fall to either side of the equation, choosing instead to give credence to both the conventional and the profound in equal measure.

I'm always happy to talk to anyone who will listen to a rational interpretation or my particular opinion on what's paranormal and what's not. I have worked hard for over thirty-five years to get to this precarious little plateau. Lately, I'm being a lot more choosey about who, for, where, and when I doit. This is unfortunate. I've spent a considerable amount of my life searching out and performing experiences that defy critical thinking. That's been my job as a magician and mentalist: to create these kinds of interludes, package them for consumption by the masses, and reap the meager benefits of doing so.
Well, "yet" came and went twenty-five years ago.
We have reached a point in the media and society where the same is true. Years of X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and now decades of reality-show ghost hunters have left in their wake a whole generation of "paranormal investigators" who offer their services to opine and freely supply their interpretations of any event they can't understand. Rationally speaking, there's not much we can do about this; because such things as ghosts and poltergeists have yet to be quantified as anything science can measure, this "anything goes" strategy leaves the door open for any television reality programming to basically seek out anyone who has a black t-shirt and a flashlight.
These homegrown "experts" frequently arrive on the scene young and fresh-faced with little or no training in criminology, psychology, or the techniques of deception. This is especially true in the area of self-deception.
It's certainly possible I may be self-deceived in my own thinking, but I have the backing of evidentiary science to back my views. Science is all we have unless you choose to go backward in time or become mired in theology. Peer reviewed professional papers and journals don't get peer reviewed if they reek of self-deception. That's why they are peer reviewed.
Part of this instilled paranoia is an outgrowth of the well-known distrust of the scientific method and the mad scientist trope about out of control materialism creating monsters and atom bombs. Even "conspiracy theories" are now conspiracy theories. Yes, I know we don't know everything through science, and please don't trot out that tired ". . . more things in heaven and Earth Horatio" quote again. I'm sick to death of it.
Problem is, the very people who should be thinking things through and applying science get away with making the most outrageous "sciencey" sounding claims that by and large most media reporters fall hook, line, and sinker for. News people seldom care or have time to research past their own noses. I recently had an investigative reporter for Inside Edition seriously ask me this question after watching mentalist Oz Pearlman on America's Got Talent, ". . . You mean he really isn't reading minds?" I was speechless for a stage beat or two.
So now we come to the crunch. These so-called experts with their flashlights and ghost-breaking toys have become the go-to people! Since they haven't reached a point where they have a book, peer reviewed paper, agent, or any visible means of credibility, they are hungry for every bit of media attention they can grab.
The media in America don't seem to have the time or inclination to ask the big questions. They seek the gloss and sell the soap flakes. They know where the ratings are and that's all they care about. This situation is deplorable, but all we have to do is look at "Dr. Phil" and his tacit acceptance of all things psychic while at the same time paying lip service to reality by frequently announcing he's the "biggest skeptic out there" to see which way the wind is blowing.
Without going into too many details, I have had very bad experiences with the media because I was often too anxious to please them and leapt without looking into the who, what, and where of the direction the editors were going to tilt the material.
Even if and when you get paid, interviewees or on-screen performers never get any "editorial privilege" in these types of programs unless they are a Bill Cosby or Bill Clinton. The snippets cut-to-fit are usually brief, subject to out-of-context editing, and completely out of the performer's control.
When I made an agreement back in 1997 to appear on NBC's Secrets of the Psychics Revealed I was verbally guaranteed I would not be shown on camera doing the "secret move" allowing me to predict in advance a random audience created number. They showed it. I had nothing in writing and no editorial privilege. This national appearance nearly destroyed my magic career. I was tarred and feathered as an "exposer." I still get flack for my part in it from mentalists around the world. Obviously, if I had known how things were going to be edited going in, I would have backed out. Yes, I got paid. But it wasn't worth it in the long run. Pick your battles. . . .
If you ask out front for a fee, you risk the chance of no call back or when pressed, hear the oft quoted phrase a few days later: "We have decided to go in another direction." I have been met with this same Hollywood utterance after punching great holes in more than few ill-advised adventures into vampires, ghosts, and leprechauns as well.
On the other hand, professional organizations and big time news operations who recognize when they are dealing with a reliable source will gladly offer travel expenses, accommodation, and a per diem plus a customary consultant fee. This should be the rule and not the exception. While this sort of deal is of course negotiable, if you don't ask, they won't offer either.
These groups are generally asking for more than a five-second sound bite and have a level of class not normally on view in shows such as Nancy Grace or Inside Edition. Local news shows are a lost cause financially. If you can work it to your advantage, go for it. You get to know the situation in the first two or three minutes of phone conversation. It's akin to doing a psychic reading. You learn to listen, stay chill, and wait for the pertinent facts to emerge.
People crave entertainment, not necessarily the truth, facts, or reality. A "reality" television program is anything but that. It's a performance piece with no sets, no actors, no real writers, and very little direction. They "wing-it." The producers get off dirt cheap. So why should they even consider paying anybody? And what happens with those voices who speak for rational thinking? Unless you have a contract, agent, or written deal, we fade into the background. Dare I say that truth is expensive?
We have a glut of non-information. Most of it coming from people who have a proprietary interest in self-promoting garbage they may even consciously know to be false. I see these misguided, "sciencey" ne'er-do-wells as a problem that's only going to get worse.
Unless the public demands true parity and a fact-based both-sides-of-every-story approach, this trend of woefully un-educated gasbags will eventually become the norm. Talk show hosts are not educators. Political pundits are not engineers. We are being served the whole picture upside-down. Look at the recent Brian Williams fiasco, Fox News, and Trump. America is buying into lies, blatant deceit, and those who pander to it. We are already bearing the brunt of our willful ignorance in countries across the world. Now we get most of our hard news from comedians. We have to weed through our tendency to be entertained and intellectually do the math to come out with anything substantial.
After the past few months of reaching my limit with this unfortunate direction, I for one am going to be a lot more careful and cautious with any media attention I might attract, and this is sad.

Citroen C6 background information
The Citroën C6 is a full-size E-Class car produced by the Citroën division of the PSA Group from 2005 to 2012. A total of 23,384 cars were produced.
First generation (2005-2012)
In March 1999, Citroën presented the Citroën C6 Lignage concept car at the Geneva Motor Show. The new model was designed to change in its class Citroën XM, production of which ceased in 2000. However, serial production of the Citroën C6 began only almost 6 years after the last XM came off the assembly line.
The Citroën C6 is positioned as an alternative to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Despite the resemblance to a hatchback, the body of the car in shape is a fastback. The car is equipped with a classic trunk and a unique for modern cars concave rear window, like those installed in the Citroën CX and some Dodge models of the 60s.
The car's technology includes a windscreen display, state-of-the-art alarm systems, xenon directional headlights that return after turning the steering wheel (also available on the Citroën C4 and Citroën C5), an adjustable Hydractive 3 suspension with electronic ground control, and a rear spoiler. which automatically adjusts speed and braking.
Second generation (since 2016)
The public premiere of the 2nd generation Citroën C6 took place in China, as part of the 2016 Beijing Motor Show. The revived Citroën C6 model was developed by the French especially for China. Built on the EMP2 modular platform, the novelty is a redesigned version of the flagship sedan Dongfeng Fengshen A9. Production of the new flagship Citroën is established at the Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile plant in the Chinese city of Wuhan. Competitors: Volkswagen Phideon, AUDI A6L.
Unlike the extravagant previous generation of the flagship sedan Citroen, the current model inherited from the Chinese twin a much calmer exterior. The external dimensions of the body of the new 2016 Citroen C6 are 5003 mm in length, 1860 mm in width, 1470 mm in height, with 2900 mm wheelbase. Perhaps the body of the novelty looks quite fresh, but fantastically stylish all-LED headlights, large 18-inch wheels and trendy LED position lights with original graphics give the car an elegant look.

Engineers of the future will focus more on empathy than logic
"In the future, engineers will spend more time finding creative solutions to complex problems, rather than creating complicated mathematical formulae," says Aurecon's new Global Structures Leader, Peter Ayres
30 July 2019 – The world of the engineer is changing more rapidly than ever. We are at the dawn of a new digital revolution which is fundamentally changing the way we design, build, and even the type of people who will design the built environment of the future.
Peter Ayres, the newly-appointed Global Structures Leader for engineering, design and advisory company, Aurecon, believes that this change, enabled by technology, is releasing engineers from time-consuming mathematics to more creative idea formation.
Adopting a fully integrated digital process
"The speed and refinement with which today's engineers can use technology to design ever more complex and high performing structures has fundamentally changed," says Ayres. "Gone are the days of hard, number crunching to analyse structures to comply with codes and standards. In the future, engineers will spend more time finding creative solutions to complex problems, rather than creating complicated mathematical formulae.
"For the 21st century structural engineer, many processes can now be almost entirely automated. It remains crucial to master basic principles, but real added value comes in understanding when and how to apply the increasingly complex tools at our disposal to deliver more creative solutions.
"As technology enables the design of complex structures to be completed faster and with less effort from humans, this will enable engineers to spend more time on empathy and ideas rather than logic and numbers.
"This is enabling engineers to be more engaged with the entire process from design, through procurement to construction, using digital tools to augment creativity, driven by the end-user experience."
Ayres says that in the future this will consist of fully integrated, interdisciplinary, virtual and diverse teams with single point responsibility.
A different kind of engineer
Ayres believes we may even see a return to the days of the 'master builders' of the past, but with very different skillsets at their disposal.
"We will require engineering leaders to be talent magnets for a different style of engineer – right brain thinkers who have more appreciation for diversity, architectural engineering, coding and sketching, and who have greater empathy and better communication skills," Ayres said.
"At a fundamental level, I firmly believe that structural design is about ideas, not numbers. We need engineers who can free their left brain of repetitive tasks, so it can reach its peak in applying critical focus into the brilliant ideas of the right brain; people who can conceive an idea, communicate it, and then work with digital tools.
"There is an expectation that the built environment will be seamlessly connected to our personal ecosystems, and engineers will need to be the creators of this new world order.
"They might not even have done traditional engineering degrees. They will still need an understanding of physics, but maybe not so much about maths, but they will have the right sort of enquiring, creative minds, and they will be drawn from the best talent around the world."
Ayres joins Aurecon after over 30 years as an engineer and director, most recently with AECOM, working on some of the world's most iconic structures, such as the Halley VI Antarctic Research Station, Moscow's Spartak Stadium and Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar.
"In Australia, Aurecon is arguably the best structural engineering company and there is a great opportunity to achieve that same level of success globally," he said. "I will be purposefully based in Singapore as Asia is on a rapid growth path and this presents an exciting opportunity for growth, not just in in that region, but globally."
Leaders in complex structural design
Aurecon's Managing Director, Built Environment, John McGuire, said that Ayres would be an invaluable asset to Aurecon's structures team.
"Peter possesses a rare talent in structural engineering that seamlessly blends creative artistic expression with future vision and insight, all underpinned by deep technical knowledge," McGuire said.
"He has a global reputation for technical excellence as well as leadership within the engineering profession."
"Peter will lead the development and promotion of our structural offering to clients and work with our teams across the globe to ensure we are leaders in complex structural design."
