Bulandshahr (UP), In a heart-warming gesture, a group of Muslim youth came together to perform the last rites of a Hindu man who died on Saturday.

The incident took place in Anand Vihar area and the matter came to light when the family posted a thanksgiving on the social media.

Ravi Shankar, 73, was battling cancer and died on Saturday.

Due to the lockdown, Shankar's relatives stayed away from the cremation

The Muslim neighbours of the family came forward and decided to help the family with the last rites. They not only took out the 'antim-Yatra' while chanting 'Ram-Nam Satya Hai', but also performed the last rites of Ravi Shankar with proper Hindu rituals.

"Ravi Shankar was our neighbour and had expired two days back, after which we decided to help his family. All the Muslims from the locality gathered and brought his body for cremation. After all, humanity is above anything else," one of the neighbours, Mohammad Zubair told reporters on Monday.

The neighbours have also assured the family of all possible help during the lockdown period.

Pramod, the son of the deceased, said: "All our Muslim neighbours helped us with the last rites, everyone was very supportive. We are four siblings and our two sisters are married while I and my brother are left to take care of the family. I will always remain indebted to my Muslim neighbours who stood by us in this hour of crisis."

The installation of the ComFlor was by Composite Floor Decks Ltd. The flooring system affects every part of the structure and it is a privilege that ComFlor was chosen.
Steve Stickland Product Manager, ComFlor Building Systems

Seismic firsts

This Christchurch medical facility isn’t engineered purely to save lives. It has two aims.

Construction of a $40 million medical facility in Christchurch marks a world first in low-damage seismic-resistant design. It is the first New Zealand application of PREcast Seismic Structural System (PRESSS) technology in steel construction, and the first building to utilise an advanced damping system.

Incorporating this unique combination of the latest engineering technology, the Kilmore Street facility is due for completion later this year, and will house various specialist medical practitioners, along with the former Oxford Women’s Clinic. The three-storey building also includes four state-of-the-art operating theatres, day stay facilities, and radiological and laboratory units.

Project manager Suresh Nagaiya of N-Compass said the structure was engineered to importance level four, in line with Building Code regulations for a medical facility, and would be 80 per cent stronger than a standard building.”The 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes highlighted the need for wider implementation of a damage control philosophy,” Mr Nagaiya said. “This medical centre utilises a post-tensioned steel rocking system, representing the first application of steel PRESSS technology in New Zealand,” he said.

“The system, consisting of steel braced frames, is able to rock during a significant seismic event, and the tensioning in the frames re-centres the building. The client required it to remain operational in the immediate aftermath of an event equivalent in magnitude to those in 2010 and 2011 in Christchurch so any operations could be finished, and then post-event, for the facility to be able to be able to be reopened again in the short term,” he said.

Steel Construction New Zealand manager Alastair Fussell said the traditional approach to seismic design, known as ductile design, was to engineer buildings for controlled damage in an earthquake, with the sole aim to protect lives. “Its inability to minimise structural damage, however, has resulted in significant economic loss as evidenced by the number of badly damaged buildings which have either been demolished or are still awaiting the wrecking ball,” Mr Fussell said. “It is this high cost of building damage that will drive widespread uptake of new low-damage, seismic-resisting technology. These systems can withstand major earthquakes and require no major post-earthquake repair.”

Structural engineer Doug Latham of Alan Reay Consultants said although the PRESSS system had now been used in various buildings around the world, it had never been used in steel. The PRESSS concept of rocking and dissipative self-centering systems was originally developed using precast concrete, and has since been applied using engineered timber.

But a major research programme carried out recently in the United States on steel self-centering braced frames, the steel equivalent of PRESSS post-tensioned rocking walls, confirmed the technology delivered a high seismic performance. “The seismic resisting system at the Kilmore Street medical building consists of pairs of concentrically braced frames (CBFs) coupled together,” Mr Latham said.

“Each CBF is a single fabricated element and is vertically post-tensioned to the foundation with two 75mm high-strength Macalloy bars.” The steel braced frames, which sit in a frosted glass enclosure and are incorporated as a feature of the structure’s architecture, allow the building to move substantially in a seismic event with minimal damage, and the tensioning in the frames then re-centres the building.

Bolted to the seismic frames are two different types of energy dissipation devices, or fuses. The first is a lead extrusion device. It was developed at the University of Canterbury, and has never been used in a building before. “The lead extrusion device is a steel shaft with a bulge in it that is surrounded by lead. As the building moves in an earthquake, the shaft is pushed up and down causing the lead to flow around the bulge. This dissipates the energy,” Mr Latham said.

The second device is a mild steel bar, or damper, and is also bolted to the seismic frame. The dampers sit diagonally between two frames, allowing movement and dissipating energy. “This combination of the two energy dissipation devices, or fuses, hasn’t been done before, and the steel PRESSS system is also a first.”

Mr Latham said the decision to use steel allowed the development of a strong but flexible connection between the floor and the frames. “By using steel we were able to design a connection that doesn’t lift the floor up when the building rocks, and therefore minimises damage.”

Special detailing at the connection between the floor diaphragms and the frames was an integral part of the building’s design. Mr Latham said a steel tongue protruded from the floor structure and fitted through a slot in the seismic frame, allowing the tongue plate to slide up and down within the frame to accommodate the vertical movements of the frames as they rocked in an event.

“Significant forces are required to be transferred, which lends itself to the use of steel that is capable of sustaining high load bearing forces,” he said.

Fletcher project manager Eugene Duggan said the use of PRESSS frame technology meant a significant amount of temporary propping was required while the structure was being built. “The engineer came up with a plan for us to keep the building propped up so it would remain stable while we were building,” Mr Duggan said.

“The bracing of the building is done on the PRESSS frame. We had to get the structure up first before we got the PRESSS frame up. To keep it stable, we used a lot of 32mm reidbar bracing attached to the structural steel frame,” he said.

Fletcher Construction operations manager Jack Harris said the clients’ requirement for certainty and safety created various challenges in the construction process. “There is a demand now for certainty and that is linked to the traceability of materials used in the building,” Mr Harris said. “We set up a quality assurance system so we could trace right down to where each nut and bolt in the structure was sourced from.

“This requirement to know where everything came from leads back to failures in buildings in Christchurch during the earthquakes that were related to quality of materials. We are only using New Zealand and Australian steel so we are able to guarantee quality.”

The base build, which started on 12 September 2012, is on track for completion in June, and the fit-outs by November.

Lesson: Introduction to Seismic Design in Construction

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of seismic design in construction and its importance in ensuring safety during earthquakes.

**Glossary:**
- Seismic design: A branch of architecture and engineering that deals with designing structures to withstand earthquakes.
- Earthquake: A sudden and violent shaking of the ground caused by the release of energy stored in rocks.
- Structural system: A set of components that support the weight of a building and transfer loads to the ground.
- PREcast Seismic Structural System (PRESS): A prefabricated steel structural system designed to withstand earthquakes.

**Section 1: Introduction**

Seismic design is an essential part of construction, especially in areas prone to earthquakes. It involves designing buildings and other structures to withstand the forces generated during an earthquake, ensuring the safety of occupants and minimizing damage to property.

**Section 2: Why Seismic Design is Important**

Earthquakes can cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure, leading to loss of life, injury, and property damage. Seismic design helps to mitigate these risks by ensuring that structures are built to withstand the forces generated during an earthquake. This not only saves lives but also reduces the economic impact of earthquakes on communities.

**Section 3: Types of Seismic Design**

There are several types of seismic design approaches, including:

1. Base isolation: This involves placing the building on a flexible base that can move during an earthquake, reducing the amount of force transmitted to the structure.
2. Moment-resisting frames: These are structures made of steel or concrete that use diagonal bracing to resist the forces generated during an earthquake.
3. PREcast Seismic Structural System (PRESS): A prefabricated steel structural system designed to withstand earthquakes.

**Section 4: Seismic Design in Practice**

The Kilmore St Medical Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, is an example of seismic design in practice. The building uses PREcast Seismic Structural System (PRESS) technology in steel construction, making it the first application of this technology in New Zealand. The building's structural system is designed to withstand earthquakes, ensuring the safety of patients and staff during an earthquake.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

Seismic design is an essential part of construction, ensuring the safety of occupants and minimizing property damage during earthquakes. By understanding the principles of seismic design and the different approaches available, engineers and architects can create structures that are resilient to earthquakes and protect people and property.

Q:

Package a command line script in a Mac OS X pkg

I have a program (created by a colleague, ported from Linux but successfully compiles on Mac) that I need to deploy to lots of Mac workstations. Currently we do so by pushing out pkg files (not ones we created).
My general question (that others may find the answers to useful) is how do I go about packaging a command line program/script into a pkg file that installs the program? The usual method to package an .app file seems documented well enough, but there is scant details about taking an arbitrary program and wrapping it in a pkg installer.
The man pages for pkgbuild (etc) make a lot of assumptions - that you've already built an app with xcode, that you're intending to use an .app and can generate plists, etc. All we want to do is let the mac server install a non-app program, and it wants to use pkgs.
It would be best if the solution were scriptable so that every time we update the program we can easily create a new pkg file. If a decent resource already explaining this process can be linked that of course would also work great. The question here: Making OS X Installer Packages like a Pro - Xcode Developer ID ready pkg doesn't match the need to simply install a basic cli program.

A:

I would recommend Packages.
It's scriptable so it can become part of your build process and generates a nice mpkg for you.
We are using it to automate the download of third-party libraries, and then the invocation of make to compile, as well as the installation of compiled files.
As a note, although this will generate a mpkg, most distributions are done with disk images, so we also use hdiutil to create a sparse image, copy the mpkg into it, convert it to a compressed read-only dmg and then distribute that.
An example of this procedure would be:
1) Create Sparse RW DMG file.
hdiutil create -size 100M -type SPARSE -volname "MyInstaller" -fs HFS+ MyInstaller.dmg.sparseimage

2) Attach to image. Note disk and mounted volume name from output (ex. /dev/disk2s1 and /Volumes/MyInstaller)
hdiutil attach MyInstaller.dmg.sparseimage

3) Copy in mpkg installer
cp -R Packages/build/My_Packages.mpkg /Volumes/MyInstaller/

4) Detech from image.
hdiutil detach -force {mounted disk} (ex. hdiutil detach -force /dev/disk2s1)

5) Create compressed read only image from writable sparse image.
hdiutil convert "MyInstaller.dmg.sparseimage" -format UDZO -o "MyInstaller.dmg" -ov -imagekey zlib-level=9

Prerequisites:

1. The program should be compiled and ready to be installed on a Mac workstation.
2. You should have access to the command line on the Mac workstation where you will be creating the pkg file.

Step 1: Create the pkg file

1. Open Terminal on your Mac workstation.
2. Navigate to the directory where the program is located using the `cd` command.
3. Run the following command to create a new pkg file: `pkgbuild --identifier com.yourcompany.progname --version 1.0 --scripts com.yourcompany.progname.sh --root com.yourcompany.progname`
   Replace `com.yourcompany.progname` with the name of your program and `1.0` with the version number.
4. The `scripts` parameter specifies the installation script that will be run during the installation process. In this case, we are using a shell script called `com.yourcompany.progname.sh`.
5. The `root` parameter specifies the root directory of the program's installation. In this case, we are using the same name as the program.
6. Press Enter to save the changes.

Step 2: Customize the Installation Script

1. Open the `com.yourcompany.progname.sh` file using a text editor such as TextEdit or Sublime Text.
2. Add the following code to install the program:
```
#!/bin/bash
INSTALL_DIR="/usr/local/bin"
if [ ! -d "$INSTALL_DIR" ]; then
  mkdir -p "$INSTALL_DIR"
fi
cp "${PROGRAM}" "$INSTALL_DIR/"
chmod +x "${INSTALL_DIR}/${PROGRAM}"
echo "Program installed at ${INSTALL_DIR}/${PROGRAM}"
```
Replace `"${PROGRAM}"` with the name of your program.
3. Save the changes and close the file.

Step 3: Build the Pkg File

1. Run the following command to build the pkg file: `pkgbuild --no-prompt --quiet --identifier com.yourcompany.progname --version 1.0 --scripts com.yourcompany.progname.sh --root com.yourcompany.progname`
2. Press Enter to save the changes.
3. The pkg file will be created in the same directory as the program.

Step 4: Install the Program

1. Open Terminal on the target Mac workstation.
2. Navigate to the directory where the pkg file is located using the `cd` command.
3. Run the following command to install the program: `sudo installer -pkg /path/to/pkg/file.pkg`
   Replace `/path/to/pkg/file.pkg` with the actual path to the pkg file on the target machine.
4. Press Enter to save the changes.
5. The program will be installed on the target machine.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned how to package a command line program as a Mac OS X pkg file. We covered the steps involved in creating a pkg file and installing the program on a target machine. By following these steps, we can easily deploy our program to multiple Mac workstations.

text: Finding the perfect location can add a huge amount of production value to any video shoot. The filming locations are one of the most visually present part of any image, so having a location that sells the narrative is imperative. Scouting locations is about more than finding a pretty place, but making sure it will work logistically and that we have permission to film there.. Many productions require specialty filming locations, from Mansions & Churches, to Restaurants, Boats, Farms, and more. While we have a huge list of filming locations we have shot in the past, when something else is needed we know who to call to source them. Working with our friends of at the Cleveland Film Commission, we can find a location for anything our Writers, Producers, & Directors dream up.. For in studio shoots our In House Sound Stage Studio is isolated from background noise and acoustically treated for optimal sound quality, allowing anything from green screen shoots to a simple white, grey, or black backdrop.

Scouting for locations involves several steps, including researching potential sites, visiting those sites in person, and evaluating whether they meet the needs of the production. Here are some key factors to consider when scouting for locations:

1. Research: Begin by researching potential locations online or through local resources such as film commissions or location libraries. Look for locations that match the mood, style, and setting of your production.

2. Accessibility: Consider whether the location is easily accessible and whether it has parking available for crew and equipment.

3. Logistics: Evaluate whether the location has the necessary electrical, lighting, and sound infrastructure to support your production.

4. Permits: Check whether permits are required to film at the location and whether they are feasible to obtain.

5. Budget: Determine whether the location fits within your budget and whether it offers any cost savings or incentives.

6. Aesthetics: Assess whether the location matches the desired visual style and atmosphere of your production.

7. Safety: Evaluate whether the location is safe for crew and talent, considering factors such as weather conditions, hazardous materials, and potential hazards.

**Section 3: Types of Locations**

Different productions require different types of locations. Here are some common types of locations needed for film and video productions:

**Section 4: Working with Film Commissions**

Film commissions are organizations that promote filming in their area and help productions find locations, crew, and other resources. Here are some ways to work with film commissions:

1. Research: Begin by researching film commissions in the areas where you plan to film. Look for information about their services, resources, and contact information.

2. Contact: Reach out to the film commission and introduce yourself and your production. Provide information about your needs and ask for their assistance.

3. Cooperation: Work closely with the film commission to find locations, secure permits, and access local resources such as crew and vendors.

4. Credit: Be sure to give proper credit to the film commission in your final product and acknowledge their assistance in the production.

Lesson: Introduction to Business Types

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of businesses and their roles in the economy.

**Section 1: Types of Businesses**

There are several types of businesses that operate in Laguna Woods, California. These include sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies (LLCs). Each type of business has its own advantages and disadvantages, which we will discuss in detail later in this lesson.

**Section 2: Sole Proprietorships**

A sole proprietorship is a type of business that is owned by one person. This person is responsible for all aspects of the business, including managing finances, making decisions, and paying taxes. Sole proprietors have complete control over their businesses but are also personally responsible for any debts or legal issues that arise.

**Section 3: Partnerships**

A partnership is a type of business that is owned by two or more people. These individuals share ownership of the business and are responsible for making decisions together. Partnerships can be advantageous because they allow for shared responsibility and expertise, but they can also be challenging because disagreements may arise.

**Section 4: Corporations**

A corporation is a type of business that is owned by shareholders who invest money in the company. Shareholders elect a board of directors to make decisions on behalf of the corporation, and the corporation itself is responsible for paying taxes. Corporations can issue stocks and are considered separate entities from their owners, which means that shareholders are not personally responsible for any debts or legal issues that arise.

**Section 5: Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)**

An LLC is a type of business that combines the benefits of a partnership and a corporation. Like a partnership, LLC members share ownership and responsibility for decision-making, but like a corporation, LLCs are considered separate entities that are responsible for paying taxes and are not personally responsible for any debts or legal issues that arise.

**Section 6: Conclusion**

In conclusion, there are several types of businesses that operate in Laguna Woods, California. Each type of business has its own advantages and disadvantages, and understanding these differences is important for anyone interested in starting or investing in a business. By learning about these different types of businesses, we can better understand the role they play in the economy and make informed decisions about our own financial futures.

text: b. 1981, Agen, FR.. Curriculum Vitae. Drawing from the history of art, the animal and the natural always remain at a critical distance from their representation. The work of Sarah Garzoni appears to satirize the way in which the living are humanized, but her works also contain a menacing undercurrent of anti-representation that localizes the abject to that of an appendage; an open sore of longing for something that can never be. The artist re-creates a surrealist tension, placing ideas in dialectical valence, leaving them to sway among physical representation and mimetic Nachleben.. Curriculum Vitae

Lesson Title: Understanding Art Through Critical Distance

Introduction:
Art has been a means of expression for centuries, allowing artists to convey their thoughts, emotions, and ideas through various mediums. However, the relationship between art and its representation has been a subject of debate among scholars and critics alike. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of critical distance in art and how it affects the way we perceive and interpret artworks.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
- Critical distance refers to the space between the artwork and its representation.
- It is a way of looking at art that challenges the traditional notions of beauty, aesthetics, and meaning.
- Critical distance allows us to see art as a social construct rather than an objective reality.

Section 2: Questions and Answers
- What is the difference between art and its representation?
- How does critical distance affect our perception of art?
- Why is it important to look at art through a critical lens?

Section 3: Definitions and Purpose
- Representation refers to the act of depicting or describing something in a way that is accurate and true to life.
- Critical distance allows us to question the accuracy and truthfulness of representations in art.
- By understanding the relationship between art and its representation, we can better appreciate the complexities of art and its meanings.

Practical Example:
- Using the work of Sarah Garzoni as an example, we can see how she uses critical distance to satirize the humanization of living beings and the abject nature of anti-representation.
- By leaving ideas in dialectical valence, Garzoni challenges us to question our own assumptions about art and its meanings.

Conclusion:
Understanding the concept of critical distance in art allows us to see beyond the surface and appreciate the complexities of art. It encourages us to think critically about the messages and meanings conveyed through artworks, and to question the representations that we often take for granted. By applying these skills, we can better understand and interpret art, allowing us to engage with it on a deeper level.

Lesson: Estimating Silage Value to the Crop Producer

Introduction:
Silage is a type of fermented feed that is made from plant materials such as corn, sorghum, or grasses. It is used as a food source for livestock, especially during the winter months when fresh grass is not available. In this lesson, we will learn how to estimate the value of silage to a crop producer.

Section 1: Understanding Silage Value

Topic 1: What is silage value?
Silage value refers to the amount of money a crop producer can make by producing and selling silage to nearby dairies. It takes into account the cost of production, the price at which the silage is sold, and the amount of silage produced.

Topic 2: How is silage value calculated?
The silage value can be calculated by subtracting the total cost of production from the total revenue generated from selling the silage. The total cost of production includes the cost of seeds, fertilizers, labor, and other expenses. The total revenue includes the price per ton of silage multiplied by the number of tons produced.

Example:
If a crop producer spends $1,000 on seeds, $500 on fertilizers, and $250 on labor to produce 10 tons of silage, and the nearby dairy is willing to pay $50 per ton, then the total cost of production would be $1,500 ($1,000 + $500) and the total revenue generated would be $500 (10 tons x $50 per ton). Therefore, the silage value would be $500 - $1,500 = -$1,000.

Topic 3: What factors affect silage value?
Several factors can affect the silage value, including the price at which the silage is sold, the cost of production, the amount of silage produced, and the demand for silage from nearby dairies.

Questions:
1. What is the difference between silage value and market value?
2. How does the price of seeds affect the silage value?
3. Can you explain the concept of opportunity cost in relation to silage value?

Section 2: Calculating Silage Value

Topic 1: Calculating the cost of production
To calculate the cost of production, a crop producer needs to keep track of all the expenses related to producing silage. These expenses may include the cost of seeds, fertilizers, labor, and other expenses such as fuel and equipment rental.

Example:
Suppose a crop producer spent $1,000 on seeds, $500 on fertilizers, and $250 on labor to produce 10 tons of silage. The total cost of production would be $1,750 ($1,000 + $500 + $250).

Topic 2: Calculating the revenue generated from selling silage
To calculate the revenue generated from selling silage, a crop producer needs to know the price per ton that the nearby dairy is willing to pay. This price may vary depending on the supply and demand for silage in the market.

Example:
Suppose a crop producer produces 10 tons of silage and the nearby dairy is willing to pay $50 per ton. The total revenue generated would be $500 (10 tons x $50 per ton).

Topic 3: Calculating the silage value
Once the cost of production and the revenue generated from selling silage have been calculated, the silage value can be calculated by subtracting the total cost of production from the total revenue generated from selling the silage.

Example:
Using the example above, the silage value would be $500 - $1,750 = -$1,250.

Questions:
1. How does the price of seeds affect the cost of production?
2. Can you explain the concept of fixed costs in relation to silage value?
3. What is the difference between gross revenue and net revenue?

Section 3: Applying Silage Value to Real-World Scenarios

Topic 1: Analyzing the cost structure of silage production
A crop producer can analyze the cost structure of silage production by creating a budget that lists all the expenses related to producing silage. This budget can help the crop producer identify areas where costs can be reduced, such as by finding a cheaper source of seeds or by reducing labor costs.

Example:
Suppose a crop producer spends $1,000 on seeds, $500 on fertilizers, and $250 on labor to produce 10 tons of silage. The total cost of production would be $1,750 ($1,000 + $500 + $250).

Topic 2: Evaluating the potential profitability of silage production
A crop producer can evaluate the potential profitability of silage production by comparing the estimated silage value to the cost of production. If the silage value is positive, then the crop producer can make a profit by producing and selling silage. If the silage value is negative, then the crop producer would lose money by producing and selling silage.

Example:
Using the example above, the silage value would be $500 - $1,750 = -$1,250. This means that the crop producer would lose $1,250 per ton of silage produced.

Topic 3: Negotiating contracts with nearby dairies
A crop producer can negotiate contracts with nearby dairies to sell silage at a price that is profitable for both parties. The crop producer should consider factors such as the price of seeds, the cost of production, and the demand for silage from nearby dairies when negotiating contracts.

Example:
Suppose a crop producer produces 10 tons of silage and the nearby dairy is willing to pay $50 per ton. The total revenue generated would be $500 (10 tons x $50 per ton). The crop producer could use this information to negotiate a higher price per ton with the nearby dairy.

Questions:
1. How does the price of seeds affect the potential profitability of silage production?
2. Can you explain the concept of opportunity cost in relation to silage production?
3. What is the difference between gross revenue and net revenue in relation to silage production?

Conclusion:
In conclusion, estimating the value of silage to the crop producer involves understanding the cost of production, the revenue generated from selling silage, and the potential profitability of silage production. By analyzing the cost structure of silage production and evaluating the potential profitability of silage production, a crop producer can make informed decisions about whether to produce and sell silage, and at what price. By negotiating contracts with nearby dairies, a crop producer can ensure that the price per ton of silage is profitable for both parties.
