QH = W + QL.
There are some interesting and important points to note. The first is that there is always a temperature difference between the high side and the low side that is required to make the engine run. The driving medium for most engines is steam or hot gases. If there is no temperature difference across the engine, there is also not a pressure difference across the engine and the gases won't flow to do work.
Gas is expanded isothermally (at TH) with the addition of heat.
Gas expands adiabatically. No heat is added, so temperature drops to TL.
The gas is compressed at a constant temperature, TL. Heat flows out.
is raised back to TH.
"No device is possible whose sole effect is to transform a given amount of energy completely into work."
This is the Kelvin-Planck statement of the Second Law.
The total entropy of any system always increases. That is, natural processes will move to a state of greater disorder.
This can lead to some interesting discussions on heat death, the general trend of the universe, and the theories of evolution vs. creation. We'll discuss these more in class.

Fall Primer
It's October!
It's an amazing time of year when we can finally embrace our cozy, scarf-wearing and pumpkin spice latte-drinking, basic selves. But October is also special because it's one of the best times of the year for professional sports.
October brings the beginning of the National Hockey League (NHL) and National Basketball Association (NBA) seasons, the beginning of the Major League Baseball (MLB) playoffs and things start picking up in both the National Football League (NFL) and Canadian Football League (CFL).
We're here to give you "the gist" on what you need to know for each sport heading into this magical month.
HOCKEY NIGHTS IN CANADA
Let's start with hockey, and more specifically the NHL, because as Canadians, the ice runs in our blood.
The puck officially drops for this NHL season on Wednesday, Oct. 3. There are 31 teams (Vegas got a team last season, so be sure to add a game into the next bachelorette party itinerary) and 82 regular season games.
Teams are divided into two conferences (East and West), which are then split into two divisions each (Atlantic and Metropolitan in the east, and Central and Pacific in the west). At the end of the regular season, the top three teams in each division automatically receive a trip to the playoffs. The final four spots (two per conference) are awarded to the teams with the highest point totals (two points for a win, one point for a tie, none for a loss). The players' nine months of hard work is all for the chance to hoist the coveted Stanley Cup (a.k.a. "Lord Stanley") over their heads.
The reigning Stanley Cup Champions are the Washington Capitals. It was a BFD that the Caps won last season, as it marked the first championship win in the team's 43-year franchise history (and you thought your dry spell was bad). The Capitals are led by Alexander Ovechkin (a.k.a. "Ovi") as captain, who is debatably the best Russian player to ever grace the ice. The NHL's other top players include the Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby, the New Jersey Devils' Taylor Hall and young buck Connor McDavid, who plays for the Edmonton Oilers.
During the off-season this summer, there were some very big changes for Canadian teams — some for the better, and others not so much:
The Toronto Maple Leafs signed superstar forward Jonathan Tavares. Tavares was the first overall draft pick back in 2009, and is considered one of the best players in the league. Given the Maple Leafs are already rife with impressive young talent, many think Toronto will be a Stanley Cup contender this season.
The Ottawa Senators had a lot of drama this off-season culminating with trading the team's best player in franchise history, Erik Karlsson. This trade, between the Senators and the San Jose Sharks, basically got rid of quality in favour of quantity, so that Ottawa could focus on a rebuild.
For the Montreal Canadiens, there were also some major shake-ups. Most notably, les Habitents (fun fact: this is why the Canadiens are often called the "Habs") traded away their captain, Max Pacioretty (a.k.a. Patches) to the Las Vegas Golden Knights. During the off-season they also acquired Max Domi from the Arizona Coyotes. (If the name sounds familiar, it's likely because Max's dad is the infamous Maple Leaf enforcer, Tie Domi.)
As for the Vancouver Canucks, the Sedin Twins (Daniel and Henrik) retired at the end of the 2017/18 season. So for the first time in 18 years, there won't be a Sedin in a Canucks jersey. Sad.
The Edmonton Oilers are full of young talent, including the best player in the league, Connor McDavid. But even so, they've been unsuccessful at making the playoffs.
The Calgary Flames got off to a promising start last season, but they didn't end up making the playoffs. Keep an eye out for Johnny Gaudreau (a.k.a. Johnny hockey) — he's going to have a big season.
The Winnipeg Jets were the only West Coast team to make it to the playoffs last season. And, they were incredibly impressive in the playoffs making it all the way to the conference finals (the last round before the Stanley Cup). During the playoffs, the Jets fans proved they were some of the best in all of hockey, earning the name, the "Winnipeg Whiteout."
Good, bad or otherwise, hockey is back this week and all feels right with the world.
Another league kicking off next month is the NBA (Oct. 17).
Similar to the NHL, the NBA is split into two conferences (East and West), and each conference is divided into three divisions. There are 30 teams in the league and only one team in Canada — the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors have been absolutely killing it these last couple years earning the hearts and souls of Canadian basketball fans across the country.
The reigning NBA Champions are the Golden State Warriors, who hail from Oakland, California. The Warriors are a dynasty, winning three of the last four NBA titles. For all four of those championship series, the Warriors played the Cleveland Cavaliers. A large part of Cleveland's success was thanks to Lebron James who is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
However, King James has since left the Cavaliers, signing with the LA Lakers.
The Lakers are in the Western Conference, as are the Warriors. So, for the first time in four years, there will likely be two different teams in the NBA Finals. Outside of Lebron, the top players in the league are Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), James Harden (Houston Rockets) and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder).
That said, we care the most about our Toronto Raptors.
Over the summer, the Raps (sadly) traded away beloved shooting guard DeMar DeRozan to get superstar Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs. DeRozan had played for the Raps since he entered the league in 2009 so the trade was v. emotional for Raptors fans, as well as DeRozan himself (not to mention for teammate and best bud Kyle Lowry.)
Still, the general opinion is that the trade was a good one. Although Leonard was out for the majority of last season due to an injury, he is a two-time defensive player of the year (and defence is an area the Raps very desperately need help with). And, back in 2014, Leonard won an NBA Championship and was the Finals MVP.
Another change for the Raptors team comes behind the bench. After failing to deliver in the last post-season, the Raps fired head coach Dwane Casey and promoted assistant coach, Nick Nurse, to the job.
While the NBA's and NHL's seasons are just getting started, the MLB's is winding down.
There are 30 teams in the MLB, with only one Canadian team: the Toronto Blue Jays. The league is divided into the National League and the American League, each of which are divided into three divisions. There are 162 regular season games (that's not a typo… these athletes really do play 162 games in a season), followed by the playoffs. All of the players' blood, sweat, tears and bat flips go into winning the World Series.
The Houston Astros are the reigning World Series champs. And, the 2017/18 win marked the first time the Astros won the World Series since entering the MLB in 1962. The series was one for the books as the Astros defeated the LA Dodgers in game seven and the teams combined for a record-setting 25 home runs. (Talk about power hitters.)
October means that it's time for playoff baseball — which, despite your previous knowledge of, or interest in baseball, is honestly one of the most magical times in sports. There's something special about playoff baseball. Unfortunately, our Toronto Blue Jays really sucked this year and didn't make it to the finals — however, that doesn't mean the playoffs aren't worth watching.
The first round of playoffs, called the wild card, starts tomorrow night. Here are the three teams to keep a close eye on:
The Boston Red Sox. Boston won the American League East division, having won a whopping 107 games and losing only 54. This record is the best the Red Sox have ever had. Absolutely absurd.
The Houston Astros had another amazing year going 103–58, winning the American League West division. It's incredibly hard to win back-to-back World Series — only 14 teams have won at least two World Series titles since the inception of the MLB back in 1869.
Over in the National League, be sure to watch the Atlanta Braves. This season, they shocked the baseball world by clinching the National League East title. This will be the Braves' first trip to the playoffs since 2013.
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?
In North America, there are two main leagues for American football (not be confused with European football, a.k.a. soccer): the National Football League (NFL) played in the U.S.; and the Canadian Football League (CFL). The rules are somewhat similar in each — however, the NFL is considered the more elite/popular league.
Let's start with the NFL.
There are 32 teams in the NFL, and they're divided into two conferences (the National Football Conference and the American Football Conference). Each conference is further split up into four divisions. There are 16 regular season games leading to the playoffs and the Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl is best known for its insanely overpriced commercials, the star-studded halftime show (for 2019 Maroon 5 is confirmed as the headline performer) and eating until you pass out.
The best team from the 2017/18 season is the Philadelphia Eagles after their Super Bowl win against the 2016/17 champs, the New England Patriots. Determining who's the best player in the NFL is tough because there are so many different positions. However, top picks include New England Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady, closely followed by Houston Texans' defensive end JJ Watt, and Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver Antonio Brown.
Things are just getting started as today marks the fourth NFL Sunday of the season.
Because of Canada's wee population, we have fewer teams in the CFL than the NFL. There are nine teams, which are divided into two divisions: East and West. There are 18 regular season games and then six teams make it into the playoffs for the chance to win the Grey Cup. Unlike the fall and winter NFL season, the CFL season runs from June until the end of November, meaning that the playoffs are generally played in sub-zero/snowy weather — and its playoff season is fast approaching.
The Toronto Argonauts are the defending champs. They won the Grey Cup, defeating the Calgary Stampeders at the end of November 2017 in Ottawa. However, this year the Argos aren't doing well, mostly due to the team's starting quarterback, Ricky Ray, suffering a season-ending neck injury in June.
As it stands, it's looking as though the Argos might not even make the playoffs. The teams that you need to look out for heading into the playoffs are the Calgary Stampeders, the Ottawa Redblacks and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. If we were betting on it, our bet would be on the Stampeders to win the Grey Cup in November.
And that's the gist of it!

Q: Center Manifolds a[x_, y_] := -1
b[x_, y_] := x
c[x_, y_] := x
d[x_, y_] := -(1/2)

h[x_] = c1*x^2 + c2*x^3 + O[x]^4;

h[0] = 0;

D[h[x], x] = 0 /. {x -> 0};

cz3 = Solve[ h[a[x, y]*x + b[x, h[x]]] == c[x, h[x]]*h[x] + d[x, y], {c1, c2}]

I am using Implicit Function Theorem/center Manifold to determine stability of the fixed point give me P(x*)=1.
But for the above h, I need to determine c1 and c2 but my programme gives me nothing. I know I think simple but I have recently started to use Mathematica. Please help me! I don't know what to use in here.

A: What does not allow the system to be solved is the term O[x]^4 in the equation for h[x]. If you remove it, the system returns the solution:
    a[x_, y_] := -1
b[x_, y_] := x
c[x_, y_] := x
d[x_, y_] := -(1/2)
h[x_] = c1*x^2 + c2*x^3;
Solve[h[a[x, y]*x + b[x, h[x]]] == c[x, h[x]]*h[x] - d[x, y], {c1,
  c2}]

yielding
(* {{c2 -> -(1/(2 x^4)) - c1/x}}  *)

To obtain the solution c2=0 and c1=2/3 you mentioned in one of comments you seems to need one more equation.

Testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe: Lusik Usoyan, Founder and President of the Ezidi Relief Fund; Murat Yusa, a local businessman and protest organizer; Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America; and Ms. Ruth Wedgwood, Edward B. Burling Professor of International Law and Diplomacy, at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.
WASHINGTON – Armenian National Committee of America Executive Director Aram Hamparian offered powerful testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, calling for a clear and decisive U.S. response to the May 16th brutal beatings of peaceful American protesters by Turkish President Recep Tayip Erodogan's bodyguards.
Hamparian continued asking, "This hearing, Mr. Chairman, is about foreign policy, to be sure, but – at a more fundamental level – it's about our shared American commitment to our First Amendment and our freedoms. The question before us is: How will we respond to Ankara exporting its intolerance and violence to our shores, his unapologetic attempts to bully Americans, as he has his own citizens?
— President Trump should break his silence and condemn this attack on peaceful protesters in our nation's capital.
— The U.S. government – including our Department of Justice – should fully investigate and criminally prosecute the attackers, demanding that Turkey issue a blanket waiver of diplomatic immunity for all involved in this assault.
— The Administration should, as Senator McCain has recommended, exercise our right to immediately expel Turkey's Ambassador from the United States – as both an expression of our outrage and a reaffirmation of our American devotion to freedom of expression.
He also encouraged the adoption of H.Res.220 – a bipartisan measure seeking to apply the lessons of Turkey's genocide against Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, and other Christians in order to prevent future atrocities.
Also testifying at the hearing were Lusik Usoyan, Founder and President of the Yezidi Relief Fund; Murat Yusa, a local businessman and protest organizer; and Ruth Wedgwood, Edward B. Burling Professor of International Law and Diplomacy, at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. Usoyan and Yusa were victims of the brutal assault on May 16th by President Erdogan's bodyguards.
"Having been allowed by U.S. Presidents – past and present – to enforce its gag-rule against honest U.S. remembrance of the Armenian Genocide, the Turkish government is now openly and unapologetically exporting its intolerance and violence to America," the ANCA's Hamparian told Congressional leaders.
Thank you Chairman Rohrabacher and Ranking Member Meeks for this opportunity to testify about the May 16th attack by Turkish President Erdogan's bodyguards against peaceful protesters outside the Turkish Ambassador's residence.
I personally saw unprovoked attacks by President Erdogan's bodyguards and others against civilians protesting the Turkish government's policies. The Turkish President's security detail was large, clearly well-trained, and extremely violent – kicking and punching protesters even after they had fallen to the ground defenseless and, in at least one case, unconscious. I did my best to help the injured and stayed with many of them later that evening while they were being cared for at the George Washington University Hospital's emergency room.
Live footage that I filmed for the Armenian National Committee of America Facebook page served as source video for CNN, the Associated Press, and other major media outlets. Our viral video spread news of this incident around the world and, along with excellent video and reporting by the Voice of America and others, helped place a global spotlight upon the Erdogan regime's increasingly violent efforts to suppress dissent, both at home and now, increasingly, abroad. Your leadership in educating your Congressional colleagues and the American public about this outrage is deeply appreciated.
The fact that Erdogan would act in such a brazen and brutal manner against Americans during a high-profile visit to Washington, DC offers a chilling insight into the depths of violence his forces visit every day upon those in Turkey who – far from the media spotlight – dare to dissent against his despotic rule.
Last Tuesday's aggression by the Turkish government at Sheridan Circle is clearly part of an escalating and very troubling pattern. Having been allowed by U.S. Presidents – past and present – to enforce its gag-rule against honest U.S. remembrance of the Armenian Genocide, the Turkish government is now openly and unapologetically exporting its intolerance and violence to America.
Past incidents involving violence by President Erdogan's bodyguards include a 2011 attack on a United Nations security detail and also a March, 2016, assault on protesters and journalists outside the Brookings Institute here in Washington, DC. I took part in last year's Brookings protest and witnessed first-hand the violence visited by President Erdogan's security on people gathered, upon our internationally respected Embassy Row, to exercise their Constitutional rights.
Our Facebook event page was titled, "Protest Against The Erdogan Dictatorship," and invited supporters to "Join supporters of human rights, religious liberty, and regional peace at a rally outside the White House (in Lafayette Park) during President Trump's May 16th meeting with Turkish President Erdogan. Among the issues listed on this page were: Erdogan's post-coup consolidation of authoritarian power; mass arrests of the HDP leadership; vast purge of his political opposition; arrest of record numbers of journalists; restrictions on religious freedom and worship; Wikipedia ban and social media crackdown; aggression against Kurds in Syria and Iraq; anti-American rhetoric and actions; continued military occupation of Cyprus; obstruction of justice for genocide of Armenians, Assyrians/Chaldeans/Syriacs and Greeks, and; illegal economic blockade of Armenia.
Among those protesting alongside human rights advocates, Armenians, Kurds, Greeks, and others at Lafayette Park was a religious freedom group seeking Turkey's release of Pastor Andrew Brunson, a U.S. citizen from North Carolina who, after leading a Christian ministry in Izmir for more than two decades, has, since October of 2016, been unjustly imprisoned in Turkey on trumped up charges.
Forget the İncirlik. They only have to hint to Washington that an accidental flair up might just occur on the Artsakh border. The Armenian government itself will then intervene to quell the demands of the diaspora…..Futile!
1.how does it help our causes of  protecting Armenia and Artsakh from Genocide and invasion, and  recognition of the AG to be the primary advocates of the crimes of Sheridan Park?
2. Isn't it more effective to let the many non Armenian American voices raise Hell? Otherwise, with Mr. Hamparian in the seeming lead, the enemy will say this is just another effort by Armenians to stir the pot.
Great job by Aram and ANCA.

The IF function checks whether a specified condition is met or not.
The IF function is a logical function, where you first set a logical condition to test, for example, you may set a condition that; If 50 is equal to a cell A1's value in worksheet then show "Right" otherwise "Wrong". The IF function can also use with other logical functions like OR and AND.
logical_test – The logical condition set by user to evaluate as TRUE or FALSE.
[value_if_true] – The options argument use to specify a value when the logical_test evaluates to TRUE.
[value_if_false]) – The options argument use to specify a value when the logical_test evaluates to FALSE.
The IF function returns "Yes" for delivered products and "No" for in transit and ready to deliver products.
Simple IF function only has two results (True or False) whereas by using nested IF functions 3 to 64 results are available.
#NAME? occurs if the formula is misspelled, for example in above screenshot, if you write Category 1 in the function instead of "Category 1" then Excel will show #NAME? error.

Baptiste, Glenna
Passed away peacefully at St. Peter's Hospital, Hamilton on Wednesday, January 18, 2023 in her 97th year. Predeceased by her husband Raymond (2003). Much loved mother of Douglas, Greta and Anthony. Mother-in-law to Sue, David and Roberta. Caring and involved grandmother to her sixteen grandchildren, and an important presence in the lives of twenty-six great grandchildren.
Miss Glenna was greatly valued back home in Gonzales, Port of Spain, Trinidad. She enjoyed her volunteer work with the Boy Scouts and Cubs, travelling with the troop to other Caribbean locations for vacations that mixed cultural experiences as well as plenty of fun. She belonged to the Women's Coterie group that helped in the community to make sure families were not wanting and children were given support. On many special occasions such as Christmas and Easter, Glenna held parties for the neighbourhood children which are remembered after many years. On coming to Canada, Glenna worked as a lunch-room supervisor with elementary school children – a job she embraced with much pleasure. In later years, she sang in the choir at the local Canadian Martyrs Church.
Friends and family are invited to Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St, Dundas on Friday, January 27th from 12:00 to 2:30 for a visitation with a Service immediately following in the chapel.
Burial will take place at White Chapel Cemetery, 1895 Main St. West, Hamilton. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the choir at Canadian Martyrs Church.

Choosing an accessory for your bathroom can make it look more interesting and wonderful. It'll significantly make the look of your room pleasing and attractive. Nothing's better than working on having a bathroom that you love most. Regardless if the bathroom is simple or elegant, the fixtures that are used in it will surely reflect your personality and taste. An important thing to be taken into consideration is making a plan. It is vital to choose the right accessories when decorating your bathroom.
The design may be luxurious or simple. The latter may be created by using pastel colors like blue, white and cream. On the other hand, if you want it to look more luxurious, then marble, glass and metal will work just fine and when you decide which bathroom accessories to use, the best thing is to consider their form as well as function. To decorate the bathroom, it is that you think thoroughly of the theme you like. It is simple to make changes given that you know how it should look like after decorating it. This is quite useful when accentuating the room by planning it first.
Bathroom fixtures do serve a lot of functions, being perfect for large and small bathrooms. For instance, building cabinets for your towels is useful if you want to save space along with shelves for cosmetics and hygiene products.

Q: How to list all available locale files in Android app? How to dynamically list all available locale files in an Android app?
I wish to add the option for the user to override the default locale in my app, and select from a list of the ones I've already created, however did not want to hardcode such a list and having to touch the code for every new localization file I create.
Is it possible to obtain such a listing dynamically?

A: You can use getAssets().getLocales() from Activity. This is much more prefered way of getting all the Locales as it get's the locales that this AssetManager contains data for.
OR
You can also use the Locale.getAvailableLocales() method, which returns an array of all installed Locales. It's available in API level 1
Once you get this list you can populate it in a Spinner or any widget you wish.

AJ's 31 Days of Horror Movies: 'Gerald's Game' [VIDEO]
AJ Published: October 1, 2019
This Netflix movie is based on a Stephen King novel of the same name.
If you're a true horror movie fan, you already know that you can't go wrong with Stephen King. This movie derives from his 1992 suspense novel; it was announced in 2016 that the book would be made into a movie for Netflix...and here it is.
Jessie and her husband Gerald, who are clearly in marital turmoil, go away for a romantic weekend at a secluded cabin. Gerald has some saucy plans for Jessie, which end up backfiring...and then he has a heart attack and dies while she's handcuffed to the bed.
This film will bring out your inner claustrophobia and survival instincts. You will absolutely feel panicked and wonder, "What would I do in this situation?" Because it's real. It could happen.
If you're watching it and wondering when it's going to enter into horror movie territory, never fear - it'll happen. And every time you think you've figured something out, it throws you a curveball.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW
The moonlight man is, by far, the most terrifying sight in the entire movie (technically, Jessie's father could easily be considered the most terrifying in other ways). You'll want to unsee it. You'll see it in the corner of your bedroom at night when you go to sleep.
Pay attention to the radio announcer while they're driving in the car and to the little things that Gerald does while getting ready to play his "game." All of it circles back.
Enjoy! Let me know what you think of it!

Have you been working on latissimus dorsi strengthening but not seeing results? Get your back into shape by avoiding these 5 common mistakes.
Your latissimus dorsi muscle is a broad, wide muscle that runs along your back and is key to mastering exercises like pull-ups.
The lat has several origins – your pelvis, your lower ribs, and the vertebrae of your low- and mid-back. The muscle wraps around your back and inserts onto your humerus, or upper arm bone.
Your lats have 3 primary movements. They help adduct your arms (bring them in toward the midline), extend your arms (reach them back behind you), and medially rotate your arms.
Because of their connection between the back and arms, your lats are crucial in moves like chin ups, pull ups, lat pull downs, and seated rows. But when training these muscles, it's easy fall into bad habits that do more harm than good.
These mistakes can happen in any lat exercises, but we'll use seated cable rows as an example.
The first common lat training mistake is pinching your shoulders together.
People tend to pull their shoulder blades down and back when they are hitting their lats. While this might be a good postural cue to help you stand at attention, it's not a good cue to use when moving your arm.
The problem is that your shoulder blades, or scapulae, need to move in conjunction with your humerus. This is called scapulohumeral rhythm and its essential to the way we move our upper limb.
When you pinch and set your scaps back, you interrupt this pattern of movement and your shoulder blades stay put.
What should happen is that as you extend your humerus back, your scaps retract, or pull together. And as you move your humerus forward into flexion, your scaps should protract, or wrap forward around your rib cage.
Anytime you start messing with this rhythm, it can start bleeding over into other movement patterns and become habitual. Eventually, you can develop issues like shoulder impingement, which will occur if you're pressing your arms up overhead but maintaining your scapulae in a down and back position.
Train your scapulae and arms to move together naturally as opposed to keeping them pinched together when you're training lats.
The next mistake you want to look out for is overusing the biceps.
When you're focusing on lat strengthening, you want the biceps to assist, not dominate.
You can spot this pattern by the excessive elbow flexion that occurs during rowing movements. Once you start to overrecruit your biceps, your elbow will bend beyond 90 degrees and your wrists may start to come up near your shoulders.
In contrast, when you're properly recruiting your lats and not your biceps, the movement will end with your elbows about in line with your torso.
Reduce the focus and flexion in your elbows and retrain the attention on your back.
This third mistake, forward head posture, has become a problem in many movements we do.
We don't want our head jutting forward as we text or type, and we definitely don't want it when we're doing strengthening exercises whether for our lats or other muscles.
But what often happens is at the very end of the range, the head will move forward in a compensatory way.
You might do this because it makes you feel like you get a little extra motion – but that's not really the case. The range for your lats hasn't changed, your cervical spine just jutted forward and your shoulder joint rotated down.
To fight this, try to keep your chin tucked – almost like you were making a double chin – whenever you're training your lats (or other muscles). It may feel a lot harder at end range and that's a good sign that you're reinforcing good posture.
I mentioned that forward head posture can contribute to another issue – downward rotation of the shoulder joint – which is the next big mistake I often see.
The glenoid fossa, or "socket" of your shoulder joint, naturally faces a little bit anteriorly and provides the surface for your upper arm to move around in.
If you allow your shoulder to downwardly rotate as you perform rows or pull-ups, you'll create issues and malalignment in the glenohumeral joint.
For one, the head of your humerus will be forced to move more anteriorly in the joint space, putting excess strain on the front of your shoulder joint capsule.
With enough reps and enough strain, this poor positioning can create instability.
To fight this, stay focused on sitting up tall with your shoulders in a natural, upright position – don't let them round forward or down as you work your lats.
The last common lat mistake is hyperextension of the low back.
Your lumbar spine has a naturally extended curve. But, pushing beyond that natural curve into hyperextension or excessive lordosis is no bueno.
This position not only creates a lot of stress in your lumbar spine, it causes postural changes that affect your form all the way up and down the kinetic chain.
Similar to jutting your head forward, many people fall into this hyperextension trap because overly extending the low back may make them feel like they are getting more range.
Or, maybe the weights are getting too heavy at the end of the set, your lats are fatiguing, and you start to recruit your low back muscles to help. As they contract, your lumbar spine hyperextends and the muscles you're actually trying to work – your lats – get a breather.
Yet again, you can combat this issue by focusing your attention on engaging your latissimus dorsi. Concentrate on keeping your low back in a neutral position, and if you find yourself overcompensating, it's time to drop some weight or take a breather.
It's better to perform an exercise with good form than to muscle through with bad posture just so you can do more reps or lift heavier weights. Your body will thank you by staying healthy and giving you strength gains that last.

Made in South Africa
How South Africa built one of the world's most advanced telescopes
by Mary McDougall @CNNTech August 6, 2018: 12:52 PM ET
MeerKAT is made up of 64 satellite dishes.
A telescope built in South Africa is revealing new details about the Milky Way.
"It's the clearest view ever made of the center of our galaxy," chief scientist Fernando Camilo said of images produced by the MeerKAT radio telescope.
The telescope is made up of 64 satellite dishes that are connected across five miles in a semi-arid and sparsely populated area of South Africa, where signal interference is minimal.
Each satellite dish stands 65 feet tall, and weighs roughly as much as seven large African bush elephants. The number and sensitivity of the dishes have enabled scientists to produce breakthrough images using the telescope.
"They just did everything right," said Farhad Yusef-Zadeh, an astronomy expert at Northwestern University in Illinois. "This image that I saw it just blew me away, I never thought we would see these details."

Built over 10 years at a cost of $330 million, the telescope is used by scientists to study hydrogen activity and pulsars. MeerKAT could deepen our understanding of how the universe was formed, and is "the best in the world" at what it does, according to Camilo.

Officially launched in July, the telescope has also made South Africa a key global destination for radio astronomy.
MeerKAT was funded by the South African government and 75% of the work went to local companies. Organizers say the project supported over 7,000 jobs in rural local communities.
EMSS Antennas, which is based near Cape Town, built the receivers for MeerKAT using a team of 30 engineers.
"It was really an incredible achievement," said company director Isak Theron, who added that the project helped the firm attract top talent from across South Africa.

South Africa's space push won't end with MeerKAT.
The telescope is a key component of phase one of SKA (Square Kilometer Array), which is an international effort to build the world's largest radio telescope.
Overseen by 12 countries, SKA will include up to 3,000 dishes and is designed to scan the sky 10,000 times faster than any other telescope. It is due to be completed by 2030.

Jay-Z Will Lend Out 40/40 Club in New York for Hurricane Maria Relief Efforts
Allison Joyce, Getty Images
Weeks after Hurricane Maria left Puerto Rico in ruin, JAY-Z has gone all out to help those affected by the disastrous storm. After getting his music streaming service, Tidal, into the action by orchestrating the donation of 200,000 pounds worth of supplies to the island, Hov's stepped forth to lend his famed New York City 40/40 club for more Hurricane Maria relief efforts.
According to TMZ, Hov's aligning himself with Puerto Rican Family Institute and Big & Little Skills Academy to facilitate Disaster Relief For Puerto Rico, a fundraiser for Hurricane Maria relief efforts. Hov's letting the group have their event at the Manhattan 40/40 Club on Weds., Oct. 11.—free of charge.
In addition to loaning the free space, Hov will also have the spot serve his D'Usse cognac brand for free through the event's first hour—just so long as you donate money or items to the fundraiser. The event organizers request that attendees bring flashlights, school supplies, solar lamps and batteries.
As we mentioned before, Hov's also used Tidal to help raise funds for Hurricane Maria relief, and he's teamed with Fat Joe to do so. Speaking with CNN earlier this week, Joey explained that he and other Puerto Ricans felt the U.S. hadn't acted to help out the island soon enough.
On the brighter side of things, Joey Crack did reveal that he and Hov's initial goal of raising 200,000 pounds worth of supplies had been exceeded several times over. "We set out a goal with JAY-Z and Tidal to fill up one plane with 200,000 pounds, and actually we filled up five planes, and we gotta fill up another five more," he explained. "We're at 2 million pounds that the city of New York has collected."
Shout out to Hov and Joey.

Q: iOS UIWebView not accepting URL changing I have a strange problem with my UIWebView, it is not accepting any changes.
When I start the app it loads the URL perfectly, delegate methods are being fired as should, BUT the UIWebView is not accepting any actions after that, like hiding it, or changing it's URL. When I call [webView loadRequest:urlRequest]; to change the current URL to another one, delegate methods are being fired but the WebView keeps viewing the OLD page, no change (only indicator shows for few seconds and then the log commands in webViewDidStartLoad and webViewDidFinishLoad and shouldStartLoadWithRequest works fine).
Here is the scenario below:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    NSLog(@"viewDidLoad");

    NSString *urlString = @"http://old.example.com";
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
    NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [webView loadRequest:urlRequest];

    // For here, everything is fine, the WebView loads the OLD URL

    webView.delegate = self;
    webView.opaque = NO;
    webView=[[UIWebView alloc]init];
    [webView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
    [webView setDelegate:(id<UIWebViewDelegate>)self];
    [self.view addSubview:webView];

    activityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
    activityIndicator.frame = CGRectMake(200.0, 200.0, 100.0, 40.0);
    activityIndicator.center = self.view.center;
    [self.view addSubview: activityIndicator];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                             selector:@selector(loadNotificationUrl:)
                                                 name:@"loadNotificationUrl" object:nil];

}

-(void)loadNotificationUrl:(NSNotification*) notification
{
    // Now the notification arrives holding the NEW URL
    NSDictionary* userInfo = notification.userInfo;
    NSString* NotificationUrl = (NSString*)userInfo[@"url"];
    NSLog (@"Successfully received: %@", NotificationUrl); // it gets --> "http://new.example.com"

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:NotificationUrl];
    NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    NSLog(@"Before Load: %@", [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"window.location.href"]); // --> this is showing "about:blank"!!

    [webView loadRequest:urlRequest]; // This works but doesn't change anything in the WebView! OLD page still showing.

}

Can anyone please tell me what am I missing?

A: The initial request is loaded in a different web view than the future ones. If you look in your code you have [webView loadRequest:urlRequest];
And then a few lines down you have webView=[[UIWebView alloc]init]; which sets the webView variable to a new UIWebView instance, which you then add to your view. This web view isn't visible though because it's frame is presumably CGRectZero. The delegate methods are firing because you've set the new instance's delegate as self, but again you can't see the result.
Remove the webView=[[UIWebView alloc]init]; and things may behave as you expect, assuming you've initialized the web view elsewhere.

A: after  loadRequest:urlRequest,you have create a new UIWebView,which override the old webView,please remove it.

A: Move this line:
webView=[[UIWebView alloc]init];

before this line:
[webView loadRequest:urlRequest];

in this method:
viewDidLoad

A: removing the webView = [UIWebView alloc]init]; should work

Certain theatres carry with them certain expectations. The National Theatre, to me, will always have the childhood thrill which is the due of the scene of some my earliest theatre-going days (The Wind in the Willows, and the excitement of a revolving stage) and due to ever-fresh joy of walking over the Hungerford Bridge to the Southbank. And obviously the National Theatre carries a weight with it in terms of prestige of performance – you should be able to go there in confidence that the show you see will be pretty damn good. As You Like It was pretty damn good. More than that – it was fresh and it was very very funny.
As You Like It is a play I've never quite understood on paper – the purpose of the forest, the large and improbably number of love stories, why Rosalind and Orlando don't find each other's behaviour actually quite tiresome. But this production made it all sing. All credit to Rosalie Craig who as Rosalind was absolutely the heart and powerhouse of the production, carrying off impassioned maiden, cocky youngster (both in character as Rosalind playing a young man, and as Rosalind herself over-reaching in her deception) and even the fixer*.
I loved the staging, particularly the transition from court to forest, and the way the forbidding forest came to life with Orlando's poems. The use of modern dress totally worked with different styles evoking different ages and circumstances of character (the young folk enter the wood in full hiking gear, while the older outlaws wear tweed). And there was the most fabulous set of wrestling costumes! But having Phebe as the only girl (not in disguise as a man) in trousers just seemed slightly out of place – it felt like it should have more meaning than it seemingly did. I kept trying to build Silvius and Phebe into a parallel of Rosalind and Orlando, but the comparison fell down because a single pair of trousers does not a sturdy foundation make…
Although National stagings are never exactly minimal, this one used a very limited set of special effects and relied largely on humans for mood. The sounds of the forest were made by people to great effect – particularly the pop and crackle of the fire (there was a real fire on stage – but only a very small and very well contained one!). The presence of "stagehands" also allowed for some great and very personal rain clouds. Fra Fee's fabulous singing was a real plus. But best of all was when the cast appeared as sheep – they were, possibly, better sheep than the actual sheep in King Lear with Sheep** – the actors must have loved workshopping that scene.
The actors to mention apart from Rosalie Craig would probably be all of them. Patsy Ferran was a twitchy, nervy Celia, providing with small grimaces the commentary we were all thinking of Rosalind's rash actions***. Alan Williams was great as Corin the shepherd. He managed to find the most astonishing laughs from what was a very dry part, giving a wonderful sense of a slow, stolid countryman – what you need in a shepherd, but not always in a comedy. Joe Bannister was a handsome – but not too drippy – Orlando, managing to carry off some very risqué lines while still seeming charming****. John Ramm as Duke Senior was the perfect venerable statesman, with just the sort of mien you'd expect your exiled Duke to have.
As You Like It is by no means a problem play but it does have a few oddities – Audrey, the simple (and, errr, very easily swayed goat girl), the religious conversion of Duke Frederick***** and melancholy Jacques, a man who just invites some sort of spurious modern medical diagnosis. This post-modern feeling was much enhanced by his seeming at one point – just by the way he laid his coat on the ground – to be preparing for a psycho-analysis session with Rosalind. Cleverness. That's something else I expect from the National Theatre.
* In the style of the Duke in Measure for Measure but with rather more consent on the part of her pawns, and success on her own behalf.
** Certainly better trained!
*** I managed to resist the urge to corner her after the show and ask what happened at the end of Treasure Island…
**** Can I not say 'I thank you'? My better parts
Are all thrown down; and that which here stands up
Is but a quintain, a mere lifeless block. Oh Will. Always with the knob gags…
***** Not quite a literal deus ex machina since you don't see the god or his effect, just hear about it from a third person.

Great tutorial Ron!!.. Thank you for sharing you Wisdom and Talent on these beautiful flies!
Nice tutorial Ronn, and need I say Beautiful dressing as usual!!!
Lots of work here Ronn. Thanks for taking the time to contribute this. I'm going to try a couple of full feather wings very soon, so this and the info on your site are very helpfull.
I just don't understand how there can be two ways to achieve the same result.
this is blasphemy I tell you.
A very helpful post for me! Beautiful work!!!
Maybe start a new post in tutorials, and add the PDF file to it?


It's easy to criticize. It's easy to get caught up in the negatives and overlook the positives in life and in others. We're all guilty of it sometimes, aren't we? So why is it so hard for some of us (myself included at times) to focus on the good?
Personally, I think it's in my nature to home in on problems and see potential solutions. One of those personality tests labels me as a "refiner." I think the results put me in the minority with regards to how I view things in general. But, merely accepting that as true can lead to even greater frustrations with others.
I've found, however, that if I make concerted efforts to put into practice that I believe (or at least want to believe) everyone has value, I actually "refine" myself. That way, I make it less about wanting to change someone else and more about changing me.

Q: Raw resource Uri causes FileNotFoundException (No such file or directory) I need to get access to a file in the raw resource, I'm trying to get Uri which then later is used in FileInputStream, but I receive:

10-17 22:51:47.338: W/System.err(5619): java.io.FileNotFoundException:
  /raw/help_content (No such file or directory)

This is how I create Uri:
    Uri rawHelpZip = Uri.parse("android.resource://"
            + context.getPackageName() + "/raw/help_content");

I've tried with this as well:
    Uri rawHelpZip = Uri.parse("android.resource://"
            + context.getPackageName() + "/"+R.raw.help_content);

Note: the help_content is a zip file, does this have anything to do with my issues?

A: Do like this, it's cleaner to use the context built in method
InputStream is = context.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.help_content);
// Do something with the InputStrem


Braxton Lee went 1-for-2 in a loss to the Braves on Sunday.
The speedster is vying for a spot on the Marlins' opening day roster. However, the signing of Cameron Maybin may leave him the odd man out. In Double-A last season, Lee batted .309 with a .390 OBP and 20 stolen bases. He may be ticketed to start the year in Triple-A, but he could be an asset in NL-only leagues due to his speed and ability to get on base. He will need to earn the opportunity for some at-bats first. This spring, Lee is batting .267 with two stolen bases.

NZ MUSIC AWARDS: CLASSICAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2008
This 2 disc, solo piano album by New Zealand's favourite classical musician both stretches and soothes. Inland realizes Michael Houstoun's long-held goal to record the music of composers he has maintained a close relationship with. Looming large is the presence of NZ jazz expat Mike Nock's writing, in a series of largely contemplative ambient pieces.
A household name in New Zealand for over 35 years, Michael Houstoun is especially visible currently as a new Arts Foundation Laureate. Featuring evocative, imaginative and accessible repertoire that spans a range of styles, Inland reaches out far beyond Michael Houstoun's historic concert hall audience.
Michael Houstoun
Michael's first outing with Rattle was on John Psathas' debut Rhythm Spike, and recently featured extensively on John's massively popular View From Olympus album. Now Michael has now initiated a project to record a suite of contemporary New Zealand solo piano music under his own name.
Michael Houstoun came to notice by winning every piano prize in New Zealand country by 18. Internationally he was a major prizewinner at three of the world's leading piano competitions: Van Cliburn, Leeds, and the Tchaikovsky. Following his early international successes, he lived in London and in the US, appearing in Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Carnegie, furthering his study, and recording for EMI.
In the eighties Michael Houstoun decided to devote his life to music in his native land. His restless creativity, his seeking of new challenges, and his giving back to the culture that nurtured him, has confirmed Michael as New Zealand's finest musician. He played the complete 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas in a series of cycles in the 1990s, the complete Rachmaninov Works for Piano and Orchestra with the NZSO as a cycle series, and has appeared in recital and as orchestra soloist throughout Australia as well as in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. His career was on hold while battling focal dystonia - a neurological dysfunction affecting his right hand. Over five years, in conjunction with specialists, physiological and behavioural changes enabled a return to a full performing life, and realize some long sought musical aspirations.
While much of his reputation has been built on traditional piano repertoire, more recently he has increasingly been heard performing new, New Zealand music - here, notably by John Psathas, Gao Ping, Ken Young, Victoria Kelly - and Mike Nock. This direction forms the basis of his upcoming release on Rattle. His commitment to the best New Zealand art music repertoire, sees our paths increasingly intertwined.

As a business owner, providing misleading information on your promotional material may result in you breaching the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). You can, however, promote your business and avoid using misleading information. Below, we set out a few tips to help you understand what misleading information is and how you can prevent your organisation falling foul of the ACL.
When determining whether information was misleading, a simple line cannot be viewed without context. For example, the ACCC will look at the words, acts or sentences a business uses in its entirety so that the meaning of the words shed light on the entire circumstance. For written material, such as a brochure, the ACCC will consider the whole written text, images and the format the business used to present the information.
2. Who is the Targeted Audience?
In determining whether the conduct is misleading or deceptive, the ACCC will look at who was the intended audience receiving the information. In most circumstances, the targeted audience is taken to have an ordinary or reasonable understanding. Based on this test, the ACCC will analyse the business' conduct to see if the information produced would likely mislead the targeted audience.
A different test is applied if a business made representations to an identifiable group of people. Here, a misleading representation is considered in light of a reasonable person in the same position. The assessment of reasonableness will be taken as a whole, looking at the customer's reliance on the information a business provides.
For misleading behaviour to arise, the purchaser must rely on the representation. This means that a buyer must rely on the business' representation when deciding to enter into a contract.
As the ACCC considers misleading conduct as a whole, it is important to note the way in which a business presents promotional information. When it comes to written material, there may be certain materials, such as brochures or advertising copy text that is a reasonable buyer is unlikely to use for the purpose of making a decision. There are however other materials, such as reports or plans where the business provides information so that customers have the factual details to make a decision based on these representations.
The ACCC approaches misleading conduct and information as a whole and contextually. The buyer needs to rely on the information his or her actions will also be considered. If you are a business involved in day-to-day business transactions, get in touch with LegalVision's consumer lawyers to ensure you are complying with the ACL, either through your promotional material or the representations you make in business transactions!

Job postings and recruiters (either in-house or agency) are two of the primary means for finding job candidates. However, you may have realized that both of these methods have become less effective in recent years. If these are the pillars of your hiring efforts, you have probably already felt the impact. Fewer qualified candidates are applying to your job postings, and recruiters aren't as effective as they were a few years ago.
One of the main reasons why recruiting is harder than it used to be is that we are living in a "tight" economy. Specifically, the unemployment rate has been under 4% for almost three years, the lowest it has been in 50 years, and pretty much as low as it can get outside of a major war (the unemployment rate went as low as 1.2% in 1944!). When the unemployment rate is this low, pretty much every desirable candidate already has a job (if they want one).
Simply put, when unemployment is low, not as many people are looking for jobs. The best candidates are already happily employed which means they are not looking at job boards and are not visible to recruiters. Good candidates are certainly still out there but they are much harder to acquire, especially at scale.
Luckily, there is another method of recruiting, which is often overlooked but tends to be more effective in a tight economy: employee referrals. Even when unemployment is low, people still have friends. And some of those friends work at your company. So in a tight economy you need to refocus your hiring efforts on employee referrals. Employee referrals are warm introductions to your employee's best former coworkers and they blow other candidates out of the water.
It only takes 10 referrals to fill a position compared with 80 candidates from a job board or 40 from an agency.
Referrals through our system stay 70% longer, so you're not rehiring for the same positions over and over.
Referred candidates are less likely to drop out because they have the support of a friend.
Referring employees will stay longer after they've had a friend get hired.
In addition to the tight economy, the explosive growth of social networking technology (think facebook and LinkedIn) means people have bigger networks than ever, and more connections with potential candidates. Therefore, in the current environment, it is more important than ever to make employee referrals a top priority. Sometimes all a candidate needs is a familiar voice to win them over. At the best firms, employee referrals account for around 50% of hiring. Where is your company at?

Midlake and True Widow Prep New Albums, and The Granada Wants You To Fess Up.
"It is finished. Thank you God!"
And, just like that, with a simple Tweet Denton heroes Midlake let the world know that the recording of their upcoming fourth full-length album has finally been completed.
But, aside from the fact that the disc will be released sometime in 2013, not much is known about the as-yet-unnamed album. Back in April, the band's Eric Pulido told Britain's Clash Magazine that his band's upcoming album would feature a new sound with even more keys this time around — but, as he put it, "not Kraftwerk."
As an unintended effect, upcoming tours to promote the album will likely give Midlake drummer McKenzie Smith even less time to play with his now-Brooklyn-based outfit The Fieros. That hasn't stopped the outfit from continuing to score placements in ads and television shows, though. In the past week the formerly Dallas-based band — which previously had seen its songs played during episodes of The CW's Arrow, MTV's Underemployed, Punk'd, The Pauly D Project and an ad for The Simpsons — saw their song "To Pieces," used as the centerpiece of a new ad promoting the new season of A&E's The Glades.
But Midlake isn't the only band in town this week with new material worth mentioning. Not even close, really. A pair of other national acts with local ties have new album news of note this week as well.
Despite signing to Relapse earlier this year, local stone-gaze trio True Widow decided to once again record their upcoming third album Circumambulation at Argyle's Echo Lab with Centro-matic drummer Matt Pence at the helm. Due out July 23, True Widow recently released a teaser video for the album shot by former Red Animal War frontman Justin Wilson that features clips of the band in the recording studio, all set to a snippet of one of the new tunes.
On the other hand, you won't have to wait quite as long to hear new material from St. Vincent and David Byrne. To promote their upcoming summer tour, the twosome put together a brand new EP called Brass Tactics, which they released today for free. On the disc is "Cissus," an un-released track recorded during the Love This Giant sessions and featuring drum programming by local studio ace John Congleton, plus remixes of Giant tracks "I Should Watch TV" and "Lightning," and live versions of St. Vincent's "Marrow" and Talking Heads' "Road to Nowhere," the latter of which was recorded during the pair's performance at SMU's McFarlin Auditorium last October. Unfortunately, the tour which this album was designed to promote won't be bringing the dynamic duo anywhere near North Texas. If it makes you feel any better, however, you can think of these five free tunes as something of a consolation prize.
Elsewhere on the new release front, Dallas indie-rockers Catamaran released their debut single, "All Around" last weekend; ClubCasa Chamber Orchestra, a band headed by Prince's saxophonist Sly5thAve and featuring former Polyphonic Spree trumpeter Jay Jennings released an instrumental cover of Justin Timberlake's "Suit and Tie" that was mixed by Little Black Dress bassist Nolan Thies; America's Got Talent season two runner-up Cas Haley will celebrate the release of his third full-length this Friday at House of Blues; and Fort Worth's Hanna Barbarianswill release their latest EP this Friday at Lola's.
Further down the road, Bludded Head should have some new material to release sooner than later. The band is currently recording new songs at Fort Worth's Eagle Audio, with Pinkish Black frontman Daron Beck producing and Britt Robisheaux engineering. Per the band's Facebook page, the album should turn up a pretty out-of-left-field collaborator or two. Eleven Hundred Springs pedal steel man Burton Lee, for instance, does his thing on one track.
And finally, the staff at Granada Theater continued their dominance in the area of local show promotion this week. The venue that pioneered the Twitter Wall and has hosted a live version of the dating game in the past upped the ante once again with their latest promotion. In order to hype next month's Twin Shadow show, the venue has set up a "confession line," in which they intend to collect seedy, anonymous stories from local musicians to be used at a June 11 event at Sundown. Those with the juiciest real life Behind the Music-style stories are encouraged to leave a message at 214-814-5033.
