Q: C++ Instantiating a different class from a function in a class I have a "Foo.cpp" class and a "Bar.cpp" class. I want to overload the + operator on two arguments of Foo so that adding two Foos returns a Bar with a value that's the product of their values. The code looks like
//Foo.h
class Foo
{
public:
    double foo_val;
    Foo();
    Foo(double);
};

Bar* operator+ (Foo&, Foo&)

.
//Foo.cpp
#include "Foo.h"

Foo::Foo(){foo_val = 0;}
Foo::Foo(double d){foo_val = d;}

Bar* operator+ (Foo& f1, Foo& f2){
    return new Bar(f1.foo_val*f2.foo_val);
}

.
#include "Foo.h"
#include "Bar.h"
int main(){
    Foo f1 = new Foo(4, 5);
    Foo f2 = new Foo(1, 2);
    Bar = f1+f2;
}

Bar is basically identical to Foo at the moment, and it has a constructor "Bar(double);"
It doesn't work at the moment, I think because Bar hasn't been defined before I try to make a new one. (The compiler error is "'Bar' does not name a type") However, I know I can't forward declare Bar at the top because that only works for pointers, whereas I'm trying to construct a new one. Is there some way to get this type of thing to work, or am I going about this totally wrong?
Thanks!

A: It's actually very simple.  In Foo.h, you need to forward declare class Bar, so that the declaration of operator+ is valid:
class Bar;

class Foo
{
    // ...
};

Bar* operator+ (Foo& f1, Foo& f2);

Then, in Foo.cpp, you need to include Bar.h since here you really need to know how Bar is declared:
#include "Foo.h"
#include "Bar.h"

// ...

Bar* operator+ (Foo& f1, Foo& f2)
{
    // Now you can use Bar's constructor
    return new Bar(...);
}

A: There are two options.
(1) Put
#include "Bar.h"

at the beginning of Foo.h. But if Bar.h already has #include "Foo.h", this will cause a circular dependency, so this is not a viable option.
(2) Put
class Bar;

in Foo.h, before the class definition of Foo.

Bei den Syker Kriegerdenkmalen handelt es sich um 14 Kriegerdenkmale im Bereich der niedersächsischen Stadt Syke.

Allgemeines
Die insgesamt 14 Kriegerdenkmale befinden sich in Barrien, Gessel, Gödestorf, Heiligenfelde, Henstedt, Jardinghausen, Leerßen, Okel, Osterholz, Ristedt, Schnepke, Syke (Zentrum) und in Wachendorf.

Sie wurden in den Jahren nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg aufgrund von Ratsbeschlüssen der jeweiligen Gemeinderäte in den damaligen – bis 1974 selbständigen – Gemeinden zum Gedenken an die Gefallenen und Vermissten des Ersten Weltkriegs errichtet. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden die Kriegerdenkmale ergänzt und erweitert – um ganze Denkmalteile, um die Namen der Gefallenen und Vermissten des Zweiten Weltkrieges oder zumindest durch einen Hinweis auf diese.

Eine Sonderstellung nimmt das Denkmal für die Gefallenen und Vermissten des Krieges 1870/71, die aus dem Amt Syke stammten, ein. Es befindet sich im Kernbereich von Syke.

Auf den 14 Kriegerdenkmalen sind die Namen von 1356 Gefallenen und Vermissten des Krieges 1870/71 und beider Weltkriege festgehalten. Die Namen und in einigen Fällen weitere Daten (Geburts- und Todesdaten, Geburts- und Sterbeorte, Dienstgrade) sind eingemeißelt, in Bronze gegossen oder sonst wie für die nächsten Jahrzehnte fixiert. Auf zwei Denkmalen sind auch die Namen der 15 Frauen verzeichnet, die im Zweiten Weltkrieg zu Tode kamen: in Syke waren es 10 und in Barrien 5.

An einigen Denkmalen nagt inzwischen der Zahn der Zeit: Ein Teil der Inschriften ist verwittert, so dass die Namen kaum noch oder gar nicht mehr lesbar und zu entziffern sind. Das betrifft die Denkmale in Gessel und in Barrien.

Kriegerdenkmale in den einzelnen Syker Stadtteilen
Nachfolgend werden die einzelnen Kriegerdenkmale – nach den Syker Stadtteilen alphabetisch geordnet – detailliert beschrieben.

Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes divorce: Scientology officials not involved
The marathon private negotiations that led to a divorce agreement between Kate Holmes and Tom Cruise was handled strictly through attorneys with no direct input from the Church of Scientology, a source with knowledge of the case said.
Cruise's prominent role in the church has been an issue in the high-profile separation. But the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk publicly, said Scientology officials played no active role in the negotiations, which occurred last weekend.
Holmes will have primary custody of her 6-year-old daughter, Suri, with Cruise under the terms of the settlement. But the "Mission: Impossible" star will still have a "meaningful relationship" with his child.
PHOTOS: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes through the years
The agreement provides Cruise with visitation rights but gives Holmes the lead role in choosing how Suri will be educated, a source said Monday.
In an interview with CNN, Holmes' attorney Jonathan Wolfe, even praised Cruise's attorneys "for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution.... We are thrilled for Katie and her family and are excited to watch as she embarks on the next chapter of her life," Wolfe said.
With a prenuptial agreement governing the distribution of assets, talks between lawyers for Cruise, a prominent member of the Church of Scientology, and Holmes, who was raised Roman Catholic, centered on the role of Scientology in the upbringing of Suri, according to a source who was familiar with the negotiations but not authorized to discuss them publicly.

Holmes wanted guarantees in the settlement to ensure nothing is done while their daughter is with Cruise that would "alienate" Suri from her, the sources said.
Cruise and Holmes appeared to refer to the religious component of their split in a joint statement: "We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents," they said.
But experts in so-called spiritual custody disputes said that although family law judges try to ensure the interests of children are protected in matters, such as medical care and housing, they give both parents broad leeway in choosing a religious upbringing.
"The general rule is the courts will defer unless the consequences are really detrimental to the health of the child — a threat of immediate and substantial harm," said Jeffrey Shulman, a professor of law at Georgetown University who has written extensively about the issue and believes the standard doesn't protect children sufficiently.
In the case of Cruise and Scientology, a judge could intervene if the religion was used to turn Suri away from Holmes because she was not an adherent, Shulman said.
"The courts could say to Cruise, 'You cannot conduct yourself in a way that alienates the child from Katie Holmes,' " he said. "But mere doctrine may not be enough for the court to do that."

MLB has been using AWS to collect and distribute game-day stats to enhance the fan experience since 2015, including data from the pitcher, catcher, and runner on stolen base attempts.
MLB and the Amazon ML Solutions Lab trained a deep neural network to predict stolen base success by using numerous data including runner's speed and burst, catcher's pop time, pitcher's velocity and handedness, lead-off distance, and the game situation.
The model was quickly deployed using Amazon SageMaker, providing sub-second response times required for integrating predictions into in-game graphics in real time, and on ML instances that auto-scale across multiple availability zones.

Featuring: David Ortiz (aka, "Big Papi"), Hall of Famer Joe Torre, and NESN sportscaster Dave O'Brien.
Watch Joe Inzerillo, former EVP and CTO of Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM), describe why the company has selected AWS to power its over-the-top (OTT) video streaming service, Bamtech.
After 143 years of statistic tracking through manual processes, it was time for MLB to eliminate this time-intensive practice associated with record keeping, statistics, scorekeeping, game notes, and classifying pitches.
Major League Baseball (MLB) uses machine learning services on AWS to power Statcast AI — the tracking technology used by MLB to analyze player performance for every game on MLB.com and the MLB Network. In addition, Amazon ML Solutions Lab works with the MLB to continue to enhance viewer experiences with more personalized content for each market and geographic region.
MLB turned to AWS due to the broad range of cloud-based machine learning services that enable efficiency and accuracy of managing data and analytics. MLB created Statcast AI Powered by AWS to empower its developers and data scientists to automate these tasks as they learn to quickly and easily build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale.
MLB and Amazon ML Solutions Lab are using Amazon SageMaker to test how well they can accurately predict pitches by evaluating the pitcher, batter, catcher, and situation to predict the type and location of the next pitch. MLB also has plans to leverage Amazon SageMaker and the natural language processing service Amazon Comprehend to build a language model that creates scripts for live games in the tone and style of iconic announcers, such as Vin Scully, to capture the essence of how they would call the game.

Online learning is different. It's not face-to-face. It's digital-to-digital. People and personalities interacting via pixels and text. And, we're not sure what to make of it. A lot of people seem quite keen on projecting their inner bias against online learning simply as a reflection of the fact that it's not "what they did" or "how they learned." Well, welcome to 2016 and the reality of the higher education sector. Online learning is here and it benefits a lot of people. These are committed individuals who are striving to learn more, to earn a credential, and to increase their career prospects. It's true that online learners will not have the same types of interactions as their on-campus peers. However, we need to stop thinking about what's "missing" or "lacking" and focus on what we can do to increase connection and build community via digital channels.
With an investment of $5,000 in video supplies and free labor from family, Oakland University engineering professor Barbara Oakley became the most popular online instructor in the world, at least according to one measurement. Oakley is among educators who have used massive open online courses — Web-based, open-enrollment classes — to teach students across the globe. To date, more than 550 universities worldwide host MOOCs on topics as varied as computer programming and Buddhism. According to Online Course Report, offerings have grown from a handful of courses in 2011 to north of 4,500 today. Oakley's "Learning How to Learn" MOOC enrolled 1.2 million students by late 2015 after its August 2014 release, earning it the top spot in Online Course Report's "50 Most Popular MOOCs of All Time" list.
Marketing in higher education today means a lot more than designing a strong pamphlet or starting a Twitter account. Students today are savvy consumers with immensely high and very specific expectations of their colleges and universities. Institutions need to work hard to ensure they get in front of prospective students and work even harder to retain them if they choose to enroll. In this interview series, which will run over two parts, Mike King and Emily McInerney reflect on the strategy that underlies their marketing efforts and discuss some of the tactics they put into place to strengthen the bonds they form with students.
Groups of institutions provide new learning and research opportunities—and expand funding. Colleges and universities across the country are creating shared courses, new academic majors and innovative research programs through consortia that combine the resources of multiple campuses. The growing number of these groups, now estimated at 60 nationwide, has also provided new opportunities for faculty to collaborate on research and teaching strategies. While many institutions initially teamed up to share functions such as library services, the power of numbers has allowed groups of small colleges to expand course offerings and save money by sharing faculty.
The demographics of higher education are changing: Today's degree seekers are older and more diverse than at any other point in our history. Many more work while attending college. With only 59 percent completion rates among four-year colleges, we will not achieve our shared college completion goals by promoting access or improving the odds for traditional learners alone. A major driver of this demographic shift has been the evolution of competency-based learning, which provides nontraditional students with newfound flexibility—and potential for reduced cost and time-to-completion. In fact, when we look back on higher-ed reform early in the early 21st century, we may see the dawn of competency-based learning as a watershed moment that, like the GI Bill, forever alters our perception of the typical college student. This transformation is not, of course, without profound challenges and considerations.
A new study aims to shed light on lack of university-provided digital media resources; negligence of copyright compliance. There is a major disconnect between student and faculty digital literacy perceptions, and institutions must provide better access to, and knowledge about, digital resources to improve learning outcomes. At least, that's what new findings suggest. As part of its inaugural 2016 State of Digital Media in Higher Education Report, digital media resource provider VideoBlocks gathered insights online in February this year from more than 300 current educators, students and administrators in higher education, and presented key findings on critical topics such as digital literacy, digital media usage and access, and copyright compliance.
Penn State students and faculty all over the world can now design and 3D print their own materials at a new 3D printing lab known as the Maker Commons. The facility is housed in the Pattee Library's Knowledge Commons at the institution's University Park campus, but individuals from all Penn State campuses — including the online Penn State World Campus — can upload and print projects at makercommons.psu.edu. Completed projects are delivered via the same system used for intercampus library materials requests. The Maker Commons is equipped with 32 MakerBot desktop 3D printers and includes the Invention Studio, an exploration lab for rapid prototyping developed in partnership with littleBits. LittleBits' electronic building blocks snap together with magnets to create circuits, and allow students to connect objects to the Internet of Things.
Future learning designs, and the ways learners interact with their education institutions, are and will continue to be advanced most by technology-supported access to information. Information access is the most important driver of change, and we are seeing some of the "most changed" technologies and processes in the realm of information access. Our education system is in the process of enormous change — and of course, information technology plays a key role. Most importantly, improvements in information access are opening the doors to new experiences that will ultimately mean greater success for our learning communities.
Ancient palm leaf manuscripts are an important part of Thai history and culture. For hundreds of years before books, people in Thailand recorded important things on the leaves of palm trees and then bundled them together into a book. Local history, religion, law, astrology, folklore and folktales were all made into palm leaf books (palm leaf manuscripts). These northern Thai (Lanna) palm leaf manuscripts are now available for everyone to read free of charge on their own computer, tablet or even mobile phone.
Career development continues to be a large motivation for students to enrol in MOOCs, meaning demand for credit certification is growing. In response, a number of providers have introduced fees for a handful of course certifications and assessment services.Implementing a business model that charges a small fee for certain courses is, "a move that is slowly redefining MOOCs' role in the global marketplace of online education" according to "State of the MOOC" , an article by Online Course Report, a content and resource base for online courses. "MOOC providers realised early on that they could offer more for less by marketing courses from top-tier schools as much cheaper than universities could market a traditional college degree," it states. Citing data from Class Central, the feature found 4,550 MOOCs were made available in January this year, over twice the number offered in January 2015 (2,150).
Ukrainian online educational platform Prometheus is opening a Harvard CS50 (Computer Science 50) course both online and offline in April. It has been translated into Ukrainian for the platform. CS50 is Harvard University's introductory course on intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming. It has a free online twin known as CS50x on the U.S. platform Edx. CS50 was Harvard's largest course in terms of enrolled students in Fall 2015. It was also adopted by Yale in 2015. The Prometheus-translated course has already beaten the all-time registration record of the platform. It reached 50,000 registrations before the start of the course.
Six universities have banded together to offer a new, non-degree credentialing service through the University Learning Store that they expect will give students value in the workplace because of industry-based verification of the skills. Campus Technology reports that students earn the microcredentials following hands-on, skills-based assessments that industry experts and employers approved as appropriate measures of competencies. Courses are organized by category — power skills, technical skills and career-advancement skills — and, if packaged together, they can form larger certifications, including one in Global Business Communication from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Business Communications from the University of Wisconsin-Extension.
Well, welcome to 2016 and the reality of the higher education sector. Online learning is here and it benefits a lot of people. These are committed individuals who are striving to learn more, to earn a credential, and to increase their career prospects. It's true that online learners will not have the same types of interactions as their on-campus peers. However, we need to stop thinking about what's "missing" or "lacking" and focus on what we can do to increase connection and build community via digital channels.
IMD, a recognized leader in the executive education field, has now launched eight online-based programs designed to bring the quality of its top-ranked face-to-face learning into the offices of executives worldwide.

In addition, the courses give real feedback and recommendations from IMD in order to maximize the effectiveness of online learning.
Hundreds of Toledo students are collecting their first college credits while still walking through high school hallways. The University of Toledo and Toledo Public Schools want to put more pupils in that prime position, and they are working to ensure TPS students who enroll in UT courses are choosing classes that add up to an associate of arts degree. Leaders of the two institutions are scheduled to announce today a new push to increase the number of TPS students taking college courses through the statewide College Credit Plus program, and to make sure those students are carefully selecting those courses. "We want to be very strategic about what they are taking and making sure that it transfers to other colleges or that it fits in with a degree here," said Barbara Kopp Miller, UT's associate provost for online education.
Millions of students graduate in India every year. Among them, only a few are able to grab a decent job and the rest are lost in the hunt. Generally the next step for them is to either enroll for MBA, or prepare for government jobs. Luckily, there are other options too. Many national and international organizations and universities offer online certification courses. These courses help build knowledge base that subsequently helps them grab the relevant job or even fuels their mind to be creative and start their own business. At the time when the number of internet users in India is growing tremendously, anyone willing to add to his/her knowledge can enroll, learn, and get certified through these portals irrespective of the age and profession. Here we bring you a list of 9 courses that are popular among young Indians, courtesy Business Insider.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has decided to offer a "Fintech certificate course" labeled "Future Commerce". The promotional page notes that venture capital investment into Fintech has jumped to over 600%. Probably more interesting is the fact that Fintech is quickly becoming the norm and not the exception as all forms of finance quickly move online. MIT has produced many graduates that are on the cutting edge of agile Fintech startups so it makes sense that one of the leading educational establishments in the US offers courses that focus on the future and not just the past.
Students are experiencing the growth of blended learning – classes presented partially online and partially in person – in medical education. In what's also referred to as the "flipped classroom" model, several U.S. medical schools are requiring students to watch videos and complete online activities prior to class, and then spend face-to-face time on discussion and analysis, rather than passive forms of learning such as taking notes during lectures. Schools like the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine even integrate blended learning into the clinical rotation phase of medical education. At some medical schools, elements of blended learning might have existed in the past, but many are now working to formally integrate them into their curricula, though to varying extents, experts say. Prospective students interested in medical school can determine whether blended learning is right for them by speaking to other students, contacting faculty or researching programs online.
OnCourse Learning, an e-learning portal, has launched an online Zika course named "Zika: The Pandemic Threat" for health care workers. The course would educate the workers about the signs, symptoms and impact of the Zika virus. At a time when the Zika virus has affected nearly 52 countries, governments have initiated educational programmes to raise awareness about the virus. OnCourse Learning's online course aims to raise global awareness about Zika and educate health professionals on emerging studies and discoveries to help tackle the disease. The course would be available for health care workers on nurse.com, an online health portal of OnCourse Learning.
La Roche College has a program called the Scholar Credit Initiative Program (SCIP) that allows high school students to take online classes through the college so they can get a head start on their futures. Many of these classes can be taken online and the credits are transferable. Programs like SCIP offer a plethora of benefits to high school students who are aiming to get a head start on their college experiences. La Roche College's associate director of admissions, Cheryl Stewart-Miller, pointed out that this program helps students "get used to the college environment sooner," which helps alleviate stress during the transition from high school to college.

Kazan is the Istanbul of the Volga, a place where Europe and Asia curiously inspect each other from the tops of church belfries and minarets.

You will continue the journey with a visit to Yekaterinburg. Founded in 1723, Yekaterinburg is Russia's fourth-largest city, with a fascinating history and plenty to keep curious visitors occupied. Just like St. Petersburg to the north, Yekaterinburg was founded by Peter the Great and was planned as a "window to Asia".

In our very first episode(!), we talk about the Jorōgumo (絡新婦, aka the 'whore spider' or 'entangling bride'), Japan's shapeshifting spider-woman Yōkai (妖怪). Yōkai is a blanket term for a variety of supernatural creatures, monsters, and phenomena. Along with our Jorōgumo breakdown and surrounding folklore / tales, We discuss a super cool location in Kyoto, Japan called Yōkai Street (一条妖怪ストリート); the actual arachnid inspiration for the Jorōgumo, the Jorō Spider (ジョロウグモ); a bit about women and courtesans in Edo period Japan; and some of the many places spider-women have appeared in popular culture.


We will introduce you with some pieces of the beautiful jacquard dresses. Jacquard fabric features a raised pattern that is woven, instead of printed, onto the fabric. Popular jacquard designs include damasks, florals, and geometrics. This textured fabric has varying drape-ability and durability depending on the fibers used.
Jacquard materials are recognized by their intricate woven patterns and their stretchy, yet strong characteristics. Rich fabrics are used to add a luxurious look to the design, similar to beach wedding dresses.
The dress has shown us the whole richness of the jacquard material. The flowers are amazing especially on this wonderful green color. This maxi length dress gives you a lot of elegance. Suitable for the evening, but don't forget the earrings in the same color as the dress. Because the dress is so beautiful, you can wear it without any jewelry.
This is a beautiful piece of a jacquard colored dress. It's perfect if you want to look innocent and romantic at the same time. The flowers on the top of the dress especially bring that romantic look. In one word we can say that this dress is very cute.
Wow! With this dress you can go on a red carpet and people will notice you. Off shoulder dress is must-have this season. The purple color of the dress brings its beauty to a next level. Pair it with a choker necklace.
This dress is made of jacquard lace, high quality material and represents a perfect dress for those who seek for a classic dress or modern pattern of the Bubble Dress.
This classic black dress is a romantic and feminine interpretation with a jacquard bow knitted detail. Crafted from wool, this is soft to touch and ultra easy to wear. You will be as elegant as film diva, but at the same time it is appropriate for the job interview.
If you are an admirer of a combination of a black and white color, which is timeless, this is the right dress for you. The dress is attractive because it is made of fine jacquard material. It is proper for the chilly days that will come. As the summer is coming to an end, the long sleeves dress like this is needed for your outfit.
This dress has all you need to look fabulous for the prom and we just love it. With this amazing silver color you will look like a queen. Everyone will desire to dance with you. The dress literally sparkles, so don't wear too much accessories.
The vintage style is one of the main trends for this season and this dress represents style in every sense. If you are fond of the vintage dresses from the 70-s, find the dress like this one.
Designers often use this kind of material due its rich texture. Whatever dress you chose, you won't make a mistake. Be careful when you chose an accessory because of the richness of the jacquard material. Dresses made of jacquard materials will give you that extra edge. Another option is Printed Dress.

The construction of a frame house with your own hands is a completely feasible task. It is only necessary to understand the sequence in which the installation of the main elements is carried out, and you will be able to self-pour the foundation, build the skeleton and complete the structure of all the other elements. First, the sequence of home construction with your own hands as a whole will be considered, and then each stage separately.
The layout of the frame house.
Figure 1. Schematic of a frame house with an attic.
Installation can be made from ready-made factory elements.
Installation is carried out directly at the construction site, and the assembly and fastening of all elements will also be carried out independently.
Figure 2. Drawing the wall of a frame house.
In order to fully build a frame house with your own hands, it is better to consider the second option. First, prepare the project documentation and drawings. All the nuances, the order of mounting and mounting of various elements, dimensions and other important points should be foreseen in advance, so that later there would be no problems with fitting materials, etc. There are many typical projects. For example, it is possible to take as a basis the scheme of a frame house (Fig. 1). There are the main attachment points and interfaces. If you wish, you can order an individual project in a specialized company. The project should contain the drawings of the base of the frame house, plans for each floor, floors and roofing systems, as well as facades and cuts.
Under the project the foundation is made. Installation of a frame house is most often performed on the basis of the column type. Above the individual pillars are connected by a grillage into a single structure of high rigidity. For the device of such a foundation is not necessary to invite professionals. You only need to find one or two assistants. At this stage, it is imperative to check the horizontal surface of the grillage with the help of the construction level.
Waterproofing is laid on the ready foundation in the form of roofing felt.
After that, the installation of the lower trimming bar is performed. In the corners, fastening is done with anchors or nails.
Figure 3. The technology of building a frame house with your own hands.
It is important to check the horizontal position of the timber. Its attachment must be strictly horizontal. Also checked the angles and diagonals. The fastening of the timber to the base of the frame house is carried out with anchor bolts. The distance between attachment points should be no more than 100 cm. The diagonals, angles and horizontal position of the beam are checked again.
Next, the vertical uprights of the frame will be mounted. Work begins with corner elements. To make it easier, you can see how the mount looks (Fig. 2).Racks are fastened to the lower strapping bars. To do this, use reinforced corners of steel. See how the attachment points should be arranged (fig. 3).
It is necessary to make a temporary mount racks. So they will not stagger. Racks are fastened on one side diagonally using the board. Remember the door and window openings. In these places, the rack mount will be made at a distance different from other sections of the wall.
The installation of the top trim bar can be done using steel corners. Carefully check the horizontal and vertical mounting of all elements of this part of the frame house.
Next, each rack is fixed with fixed braces. Use a bar of relative small section. Look at the attachment points at this stage (Fig. 4). The installation and mounting of ceiling beams. Steel corners are also used. Created truss structure and obreshetka. The selected roofing is being laid. Outside the frame house is sheathed with plywood. You can use DSP or OSB. The vapor barrier is fastened. This is done with a construction stapler. In the future, the crate will be nailed and siding mounted on it.
Figure 4. Schematic design of the roof of a frame house.
The space between the racks must be tightly filled with insulating material. It must be closed with a vapor barrier film. To attach it to the frame posts, use a stapler. Inside, the walls of the house are sheathed with plywood or OSB.
This is what the overall construction of a frame house looks like. However, this general information is not enough. Therefore, it is necessary to consider each stage separately.
As a rule, frame houses have 1-2 floors. Experts do not recommend to make a frame house above 2 floors. And the second floor is better to do mansard.
Most often, as already noted, a columnar foundation is erected for the construction of a frame house. You can use a tape base, as well as a prefabricated structure of concrete blocks. Belt systems require the use of durable reinforcement to create additional strength and rigidity. In the case of column systems, the required rigidity is ensured by a monolithic grillage. When erecting a precast base, a strong and reliable fastening is used to increase rigidity. It must be attached across the bottom trim.
In the process of building a frame house, frame structures made of metal and wood are used. Metal frames increase the cost of a house by an average of 30-40 percent. Therefore, they are not as popular as wood frames. But at the construction of the metal is much less weight, which saves money on the foundation. In the case of wood, the most suitable material is oak. If there is no money for an oak, high quality timber from other species will do. Its cross section must be at least 150 mm². In the corners, the tongue and groove connection is used. It is necessary to adjust closely. Clearances are prohibited.
Professional builders categorically do not recommend the use of metal fasteners, as this material intensifies the processes of rotting wood. Therefore, whenever possible, screws and nails should be discarded. Rotting will make the connection weaker. In such conditions, the frame house will slowly but surely loosen. To ensure a reliable, durable and safe connection for the building, wooden dowels are suitable.
Thermal insulation material is most conveniently mounted in wall gaps. But in order for the structure to not lose its rigidity, it is necessary to loosen the frame with braces. If this is not done, under the influence of external loads over time there will be distortions, which will lead to further destruction. In accordance with the construction technology of a frame house, everything must be done taking into account the creation of 3 braces. They are made of the same material as the frame racks.
From the outside, the frame is lined with boards. It is best that the skin is not horizontal, but inclined by 30-40 °. To do this, you can use 6 cm thick grooved boards or clapboard. It is important to take into account the fact that the wood that you use for the construction of a frame house during the first 12-18 months may decrease or increase in volume. Therefore, it is not necessary to completely nail the cladding boards. Otherwise, in a year and a half, the skin can be deformed.
Scheme of the assembly of the walls of the frame house.
Installation of the structure begins with the laying of high-quality timber around the perimeter of the walls.Use a timber section of 15x15 cm. Before mounting the bursa, lay the roofing felt. Wood itself must be treated with an antiseptic composition. Installation is carried out using anchor bolts. Try to set the angles as accurately as possible. Use the building level to test. The maximum allowable misalignment is 1 cm.
The same materials should be used to construct the supporting structures of the walls and the floor of the frame house. If the materials are different, then their expansion coefficients will also differ. This can lead to the fact that over time, the house simply skewed. For the device of a rough floor use not cut off board. This is the most budget and quite acceptable option. First, the installation of lags. Between them fit insulation material. Top floorboards are arranged. After completing the creation of the floor proceed to the construction of walls.
Before starting to build walls, find a flat and dry platform for their collection. Otherwise, the wall will warp. The frame is assembled from identical vertical boards. If possible, you need to choose boards of such length that would correspond to the height of the premises of your future frame house.
Diagram of the structure of the wall of a frame house with insulation.
High ceilings are expensive materials. However, it is better not to do them below 2.4 m either. Otherwise, pressure will be felt in the room causing psychological discomfort. During the construction phase of the walls, you can think about saving on building materials by installing slanting ceilings. Such ceilings will have the same bevel angle as the slope of the roof slope. Thanks to this, you can create a comfortable attic room, install the right windows there and provide a more interesting and cozy result.
Calculate wall sections based on the maximum allowable and expected loads on the floor of the house. Beams are installed at a distance of 300, 400 and 600 mm. Select the width of the boards in accordance with the selected covering material.
How to sheathe the walls?
Device for the floor of a frame house.
Cladding is most often performed with siding. If you choose it, you need to maintain a distance of 20-30 cm. If a chipboard, pseudo-log or block house is used, you can increase the distance to 40-50 cm.
Siding is the most practical durable and easy to use cladding material. You do not have to paint it, open varnish. Do not even have to wash it regularly. The only drawback, and even then subjective, is the unnaturalness of such a finish.
If the frame house is made in factory conditions, then, as a rule, sandwich panels are used. From an economic point of view, this is the most profitable option.
Panels of such a plan weigh little, which makes it possible to reduce the load on the foundation of the frame house and, on the whole, to make its construction easier. In addition, sandwich panels have low thermal conductivity. This moment allows you to optimally solve the issues of thermal insulation of the frame house.
Due attention must be paid to the installation of windows. According to technology, the area of windows should be equal to 18% of the total area of the wall with a window opening. So the number and size of openings are selected individually. As for the double-glazed windows, single glazing is enough for seasonal use. If the frame house will be used throughout the year, you need to buy double-glazed windows with 2 or even 3 glasses. Select the required number taking into account the climatic features of your region.
And the last stage of the construction of the frame house construction is the arrangement of the roof. The roof can be covered with a variety of materials. Experts recommend the use of natural tile. It is best combined with wood. You can give a choice in favor of any other material that you like by its appearance, appearance or price. Good luck!

Sindh on Same Page as Centre on Lifting Lockdown
in Sindh
After weeks of sparring with the Centre on how to stem the tide of Covid-19 and stamp out the coronavirus pandemic, the Sindh government has finally agreed to follow the federal government's strategy and lift the lockdown in phases from Saturday (today).
Similarly, Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa have also outlined their plans and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure that businesses could reopen with adequate safety measures against Covid-19 in place. The Balochistan government has announced that it was switching to a 'smart lockdown' in considering the "very worrying" situation in the province.
Speaking at a news conference in Karachi, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said the provincial government was on board with the federal government's decision to ease the lockdown.
"The decisions announced by the federal government will be fully implemented in Sindh," he added.
The Centre and Sindh were earlier at odds over the measures to flatten the coronavirus curve and had unleashed a barrage of criticism against each other. The province was pushing for a strict lockdown while the federal government wanted to ease restrictions taking into account their impact on the economy and the lives of the poor.
The Sindh chief minister said shops in residential areas would reopen from Saturday. However, he added, the restrictions on shopping malls, wedding halls, hotels, restaurants and all kinds of public gatherings would remain in place.
"These guidelines will remain in place till May 31 in accordance with the federal government's directives and we are ready to comply with them."
He appealed to citizens to remain at home as much as possible despite the lifting of the lockdown and wear a mask if they had to leave.
Shah maintained that the provincial government was not competing against anyone and stressed the need for all stakeholders to work together.
Punjab is also easing restrictions for businesses, industries and small markets. However, information minister Fayazul Hasan Chohan said the province would submit a recommendation to the federal government asking it not to lift the lockdown in the major cities of the province.
"There's hype about the coronavirus in bigger cities and we are submitting a recommendation to the federal government. If the federal government approves it, then the lockdown and SOPs will remain in place in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan and Gujranwala and other major cities," he added.
The K-P government has notified that all shops would remain open for four days a week. Shops that are not selling essential goods will stay closed from Friday to Sunday. Businesses have been allowed to operate until 4pm.
Provincial information adviser Ajmal Wazir said schools, industries and other sectors would reopen in line with the NCC decision.
He warned that businesses would be sealed if SOPs are not followed. Construction and other sectors, he said, will be allowed to resume their activities in phases.
The Balochistan government has decided to switch to a 'smart lockdown' expressing its concerns over the rising number of coronavirus cases in the province.
After a meeting chaired by with Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal, the provincial government's spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani said the situation in the province was "very worrying".
He added that markets in the province would remain open from 3am till evening and traders should ensure that SOPs were being followed to avoid strict action.

Non! Nee! Never? Is the European Constitution dead? The decisive ʻnon' in the France, and the even more emphatic ʻnee' from the Dutch effectively killed the current Treaty text.
The incredible ʻshow must go on' comments by the Council and Commission Presidents have finally given way to reality. This Treaty, which took almost two years to draft, will never be adopted. The Leaders of the 25 member states know that unanimity is required to enact a Constitution. Their decision to put the ratification process ʻon hold' was inevitable.
Tony Blair has been saved from his worst nightmare, of being the only EU Leader to lose a referendum on the Constitution.
So, what happens next? There was no plan B, according to the Commission.
No clear consensus on the way forward could be found at the Brussels summit.
The row over failure to agree on the EU budget post 2007 has, deliberately, been orchestrated to divert attention from the Constitution ʻcrisis'.
In 1999, the EU was plunged into ʻcrisis' by the resignation of the entire Commission. Ever since, there has been endless talk of the need to ʻreconnect with citizens'. This on the assumption that citizens had previously felt connected.
French and Dutch citizens have clearly demonstrated that action, rather than just talk, will be required. National identify and cultural diversity must not be sacrificed in pursuit of a united and ever expanding EU.
Too often, EU regulation is seen as an obstacle rather than a benefit. The Common Fisheries Policy is an unmitigated disaster, State Aid rules are overzealously used to hamper economic development, controversial legislation threatens the future of essential public services. The list could go on and on.
This latest ʻcrisis' should serve as a wake-up call to the Brussels idealists who drive the ʻEuropean Project'. Tony Blair has suddenly discovered a need to fundamentally reform the European Union, apparently forgetting that the Constitution was the product of a Convention on the Future of Europe. He now wants to re-open discussion on funding the Common Agriculture Policy, although he agreed to the present package in 2002.
With the UK Presidency commencing on 1 July, Tony will need allies if any progress is to be made. His contribution to the June Summit is a bad start, with the Irish Premier Bertie Ahern calling Blair's arguments "simplistic" and the whole meeting "pathetic and embarrassing". A turbulent British presidency is guaranteed.


ATLANTIC CITY, July 16, 2010 – Commissioner Harold J. Wirths joined Governor Chris Christie in addressing the delegates to the 106th Annual Convention of the New Jersey Building and Construction Trades Council (NJBCTC) earlier this week.
The Commissioner spoke about the importance of the construction industry to the New Jersey economy and supported the efforts of the Christie Administration to encourage private-sector job growth and the commitment to retain and attract employers to the Garden State.
"We need structural reform in our state to reenergize our economy, encourage businesses to locate here and to grow in the Garden State," Commissioner Wirths said. "We need to rebuild the confidence of businesses in the future of our state spurring investment in new plants, offices, and homes.
Wirths also spoke of the Department's commitment to equitably enforcing New Jersey's labor laws to protect the rights of workers and fair competition among businesses.
Commissioner Wirths told the delegates that in the last fiscal year, the Department launched 2,300 prevailing-wage investigations and recovered $1.7 million in back wages for 1,600 workers.
The New Jersey Building and Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO represents more than 100 local unions and more than 150,000 members.

A structured settlement in the state of Texas is defined as an arrangement of payments that results from a lawsuit that has been won or settled. The payments of a structured settlement are not paid out all at once but rather spread out over a period of time. One-time lump payments are not part of a structured settlement. Given the current economic climate, many insurance companies are opting for structured settlements as opposed to doling out one-time payments in larger sums to plaintiffs. This type of payment may be more opportune for insurance companies but may not be as favorable to plaintiffs. Bills can continue to mount and debt can keep on accumulating while plaintiffs wait on just one payment per month. Residents of Texas experiencing this type of issue now have another option. Structured settlement funding can bring you large sums of money right away. Funds4Claims offers structured settlement funding for plaintiffs who have grown weary of receiving one smaller payment per month as a result of their structured settlement. We specialize in getting plaintiffs the most money for their structured settlements with a quick and efficient process. The first step towards acquiring your structured settlement funding can begin by contacting Funds4Claims today.
