Dependency Injection for Unit Tests in PHP
Writing testable code is tricky. On reason is because you have to test all of your software components individually and isolated from each other. Imagine that you're testing your new and cool DB abstraction layer. It's using:
- Some sort of error log
- A config component to fetch DB credentials
- Your caching layer to temporarely save stuff
- I almost forgot: It's using PDO
Loose Coupling
Having everything tied up like this, you're going to have a hard time testing it. After all, you don't want to test the connected components, just your new and cool query class. That's where Dependency Injection kicks in – along with some other patterns with cool names. The goal is to break your piece of software down to a bunch loosely coupled components and tie them together dynamically. As soon as your software is getting the Lego look and feel, you know that you're on the right track. This is where you can use Dependency Injection for the logging component:
// Instantiating the components
$loggingComponent = new Fancy_Error_Log();
$fancyQuery = new Fancy_Db_Query();
// Tell your query what to use for logging
Does it feel Lego already? Then go on and do the same with the other 3 dependencies.
The Testing
Now, when it comes to testing, you can easily replace your logging component by a mock. That's a fake component which acts like your usual logger. Instead of logging, it does something else, like routing everything to /dev/nulll or, even better, recording any logging attempts. That way you have a tool to check if your query class is logging the right stuff. Martin Fowler wrote a great article "mocks aren't stubs" that explains the difference between dummy, fake, stub and mock components, if you care.
So here's an example of how to set up your Query class with a mock logger:
$fakeLogger = new Fancy_Error_LogMock();
Pretty cool, eh? But not completely DRY yet. Don't feel like writing mock objects all day long? Most testing frameworks offer default mock implementations (aka "self-shunting") to make your life even easier. Let's try that with a fictional example with PHPUnit3's mock object implementation. With it's fluent interfaces, it's a perfect match for our Query class in terms of fancyness!
// Setting up the mock object
$logMock = $this->getMock('Fancy_Error_Log', array('write'));
// We expect our query to call Fancy_Error_Log::write('Query Fail'!);
->with($this->equalTo('Query Fail!'));
// Make the query fail miserably
$fancyQuery->select('SELECT FAILcolumn FROM FAILtable');
Is this all?
Yes, it is. For now. When searching for the my headline in Google, all I got was search results for Java, C++ and .NET. I mean, come on!
Probably most of you knew the way of testable software design already. Probably, you did so but didn't know how to name it (which only matters for management, anyway). However, holding up the PHP flag is not my sole intention. Let's see this as a little introduction of what I originally wanted to write about: Untestable Software. Often, there are situations where writing testable code is killing your performance or usability or both. So there will be a follow-up post. Hopefully sooner than later.

Alienware Challenge - UPLOAD FINAL ENTRIES (DEADLINE 20 JAN)
Hi all, the Alienware Challenge will close at the end of 20 January and start judging immediately after. Please begin uploading your final entries. Read the instructions below very carefully!
1. Final entries
You need to upload the final image as a high resolution TIF file that has been zipped up. Instructions for uploading the file are found at:
You also need to enter the final image as a web resolution JPEG using the entries system here:
So just to clarify, two versions of the final image need to be uploaded:
- Print resolution image as a TIF, zip this file (FTP)
- Web resolution image (standard entries)
2. Milestones
Your entry will only be classified "complete" and go through to judging if you have uploaded all the required milestones. If you have not uploaded your milestones, do it immediately.
3. Judging
Judging will begin after the entries have been checked.
- Only the final image will be judged
- Only entries that have the full print resolution entry, and all the milestones will be judged
There will be three components to judging:
A. Juried Voting - The jury will consist of artists (not involved in the challenge) and some Alienware staff, who will only view the artworks and vote based on artistic merit.
B. CGTalk Voting - all complete entries will be placed online and we will invite the community to vote.
C. Community Interaction - a small amount of the final result will come from examining the artist's interaction with the community during the challenge. Artists who have posted their Work in Progress in a timely manner and shared their techniques and ideas with the community will score well here.
All completed entries will be on display permanently at http://www.cgnetworks.com/alienware/ after the challenge has concluded. Only complete entries will be retained.
So fire up those renderers and get your work in!
|01 January 2004
Just to clarify:
- You upload the JPEG through the web front-end as a normal milestone.
- You have to be entered in the challenge before you can even view the upload information
- You are given a fixed filename to upload... follow it *exactly*.
- The requirements are pretty much the same as for EXPOSE' and co... One uncompressed RGB TIFF alone in a ZIP. Don't use folders. No other files in the ZIP. Be careful to follow the requirements exactly.
- Voting isn't available yet, we'll let you know when it's ready

hmm it says here that it must be full print res - but in the info page it says "If you cannot reach the desired full-page resolution, just send in what you have". clarifications? this is quite a problem bcos 2657 x 3636 can be quite steep for a lot of systems...

Please send in as high a resolution as you can possibly handle. We will not be considering anything below 1500 (horizontal/vertical) pixels as this will only print 5 inches at 300dpi.
At any rate, we encourage everyone to get used to rendering at high resolutions as this is what the industry demands when you output for clients to print, HDTV, Film, etc.

I've been recommending http://www.respower.com for an automated online renderfarm, these guys really go out of their way to get you sorted. I imagine a high res pix would only cost you a few buck. It's not that expensive.

This should probably be posted in the FAQ section, but I think that this post is going 2 be read more often!
Must there be any writing on the final image?
A title, or the name of the artist, or do we just put on the signature we usually 'stamp' on our pieces?
Must they be left blank? Etc etc etc...
Let me just say thanks 2 CG talk for running an exceptional comp tho!

Will we be notified, upon sending our final *zipped* entry image, if the file is corrupted after it's been recieved?
I've had it happen quite often that images that were compressed and sent over the net arrived here corrupted and unusable.
On the same note, what compression are we to use? Store, normal, or best compression?
I also take it that multimedia compression is to be disabled since it degrades the quality of the picture.
I know this belongs in the FAQ, but as was said "I think this is going to be read more often"
Thank you and have fun downloading several hundred megs of pictures guys :P

So is the final image for print meant to be
2657 x 3636 at 300dpi
2657 x 3636 at 72dpi
Lightwave only outputs at 72dpi, there is no option for 300. It would be a massive file at those specs.
Can some please clarify.

The DPI doesn't matter - you just need the pixel size to be around those specs. When you bring the images to print, then the DPI resolution matters, otherwise, it doesn't really matter as long as you have the pixels there.

Like Leo says, the DPI doesn't matter at all while you're rendering from your 3D package.
If you want everything to be just right, make the edit depicted below on your final TIF in Photoshop (Menu Image/Image size).
Be indiscreet - do it continuously.

Fidelity reported a 53% increase in health savings accounts opened in 2012, raising the number of individual accounts administered by the company to 182,000.
As of Feb. 28, Fidelity managed $471 million in HSA assets, up 44% from a year earlier. Among the reasons for this growth: many employers have begun to offer a high-deductible health plan together with an HSA, along with a defined contribution retirement plan, as an integrated employee benefit.
This permits employees to see their balances in both plans, said William Applegate. It encourages employees to view HSAs as a component of their retirement investing, and helps them understand how an HSA can complement a DC plan such as a 401(k). We also can provide guidance to plan participants, explaining how to take advantage of the HSA tax benefits.
Fidelity emphasizes employees should first contribute enough to their retirement plan to get a full employer match, if one is offered. Thats an immediate, risk-free, return on invested dollars.
Then, Applegate said, the next dollars should go into an HSA, where employees can get triple tax advantages. HSA contributions, investment earnings, and distributions used for qualified health care expenses all escape federal income tax. HSA contributions this year may be as high as $7,450, for families with HSA holders 55 or older. Many employers contribute to an employees HSA, which adds value, Applegate added. After contributing as much as possible to an HSA, employees can make unmatched 401(k) contributions.
Some observers have worried that such an approach will cannibalize 401(k) contributions, resulting in smaller retirement funds, but Fidelity data show that hasnt been the case. For the past two years, Fidelity has analyzed the savings behaviors of employees who save in both a Fidelity HSA and a DC plan.
On average, employees with both plans tend to save more of their annual salaries (8.5% average annual deferral rate) in their DC accounts than employees with just a DC plan (8.1%). Applegate attributed the higher total savings rate to several factors, including an early adoption bias (participants in relatively new HSAs may be better advised and more engaged in retirement planning) and the fact that HSAs are paired with high-deductible health insurance, which has lower premiums.
So far, most HSA investment dollars go into cash. Applegate said that participants may eventually move on to other HSA investment options, such as stock, bond, and asset allocation funds, once their HSAs hold enough cash to meet medical emergencies.

Why Choose to Work in Suntech iPark?The present Philippine government is venturing several infrastructure projects to support urbanization and to provide additional transport access to Ecozones in the south such as Suntech iPark.
The first PEZA- accredited IT park of Cavite, Suntech iPark, has contributed to an increasing demand for a more efficient and diverse transportation system from investors and local residents alike. Such demand has brought the construction of Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) into completion.
Other government projects approved by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) to be implemented are as follows.
- Cavite – Laguna Expressway (CALAx) Project The Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAx) is a 55-Billion Peso project by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) that will be made possible through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP). The proposed highway will develop a four lane 47-kilometer closed-system tolled expressway to connect the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) in Kawit to Mamplasan Interchange of South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) in Biñan, Laguna. The new infrastructure will play an important role in decongesting traffic of roads in Cavite and Laguna particularly in Aguinaldo Highway, Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road and Governor's Drive among others.
- Sangley Point: Possible New International Airport Making the country's busiest gateway Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Sangley Point or the well-known Danilo Atienza Air Base of the Philippine Air Force will be the government pacifier in easing this scenario. Sangley point in Cavite is only 17 kilometers or 20 minutes away south of Manila. This is Japan International Cooperation Agency's (Jica) premier site of choice for the location of the new international airport.
- LRT Line 1 South Extension Project The Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 South Extension Project, costing around Php65 Billion, will extend the existing 20.7 kilometers (21 stations) from Roosevelt Avenue- Monumento north link to Baclaran by another 11.7 kilometers. This is equivalent to 10 more stations passing through Paranaque and Las Piñas ending in Bacoor, Cavite. Additional stations include Redemptorist Station, MIA Station, Asia World Station, Ninoy Aquino Station, Dr. Santos Station, Las Pinas Station, Zapote Station, Niyog Station.
- Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX) Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX) is formerly the Daang Hari-South Luzon expressway (SLEX) link road project. This toll road is a 2-Billion peso project that decongests major roads as it will serve as another access to Cavite. The project that is expected to be completed in June 2015 involves the construction of a four-lane four-kilometer highway that starts from a junction of Daang Reyna and Daang Hari in Las Piñas and Bacoor, Cavite to SLEX through the Susana Heights Interchange in Muntinlupa.
According to the JICA study in a report, Sangley International Airport would be able handle about 55 million passengers a year when it opens in 2025 enough to decongest the current International Aitport.
The project will involve land reclamation and laying of platform. The plan is still for approval of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) presumed to be in July 2015.
The project is expected to ease transportation access from and to Metro Manila by providing faster and reliable public transport connections to south of Metro Manila and the urbanized Metro Cavite. This will be implemented through PPP and development assistance from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Backed with thorough and profound studies to ease the booming transportation problems in the country, the government can surely respond to Filipino needs. Such efforts also pave way to sufficient road network efficiency to and from industrial and IT parks in the south such as Suntech iPark in Cavite. This can help not just the current healthy PHL industrial atmosphere but also to help the country in sustaining a good economic standards.

British pop star Lily Allen returned to the stage on Tuesday (26Feb13) in Paris, France for a rare performance after stepping out of the spotlight in 2009.
The singer insisted she had retired from performing to focus on motherhood, but last year (12) she headed back to the recording studio to work on new material.
She sealed her comeback in the French capital by performing at the ETAM show during Paris Fashion Week.
Allen, who is also known by her married name, Lily Rose Cooper, sang her debut hit Smile while models walked the runway.
Her last appearance on stage was a surprise duet with Pink on their track True Love for the Try hitmaker's VH1 Storytellers show in August (12).
Allen is now mother to two daughters, Ethel and Marnie.

Mélissa Le Nevé is definitely best known as a boulderer with several 8A+'s and many 8A's to her name, as well as a lot of success on the World Cup bouldering circuit. She has however also red pointed routes as hard as 8b+, and route climbing is exactly what she is up to now.
In the Piscineta sector at Rodellar the other day, she onsighted the first part of the mighty Cosi fan tutte, a 30 meter 8a+ in its own right, and the day before that she unsighted two 8a's in the same sector.
The trip to Spain is preparation for her trip to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky in less than a week.
Mélissa says she hasn't decided yet whether she is going to try the whole 55 meter Cosi fan tutte, 8c+, because "it's soooooo long". Perhaps she tries the shorter Welcome to Tijuana, 8c, instead.
Mélissa Le Nevé is sponsored by Five Ten, adidas, Petzl, Beal and Mule bar

If you would like to drive into Cooke City between the dates of November first and the 15th of April, you need to drive thru the Yellowstone National Park via interstate 94 to Livingston, MT and South to Gardiner, MT. From there, drive thru Mammoth Hot Springs taking a left to Tower Junction. From Tower, you need to take the only option which is to the left into Cooke City via the animal habitat of the Lamar Valley.

The Annoying J. Crew Model for the week of November 23rd:

I am assuming that she's making a snow angel...or a snow goob. Why else would she be sprawled in such an idiotic pose? And why the hell do this with a bag of ornaments in her hand?

Good "Guys"
Here is an advertisement from a flyer that we recently got in the mail. On first glance, there's nothing really strange or wrong with the ad. It's just your typical notice from a car dealership.
But then when you disregard the autos and begin focusing on the people, something weird begins to happen.
Two things strike me about this image. First, what kind of good guys are these? This looks more like a rogues' gallery than a photo taken for publicity purposes. Second--and perhaps closely connected to my first speculation--notice the qualifying quotation marks. Are car salesmen more ironic than I originally gave them credit for being?
I wonder if these "good guys" are ever dry?

Master Disguiser of His Domain
Here's a picture of a toy machine I found outside of a restaurant in Sulphur Springs, TX.
Outside of the fact that I wouldn't want my child to wear this stuff, I can't get over the look on this kid's face. Looks like he's hopped up on goofballs. Or perhaps he's disguising himself as a South American drug lord.

Don't Eat the Brown French Fries
A good friend of mine and an original fan of the Gallery, Al Wirtes, sent this to me. Earlier this week, his wife bought their daughter a Happy Meal, and this image was in the bottom corner of the box:
Has Ronald been ingesting certain substances in an effort to "dream up new creations"? Or, in the words of Al, WTF is up with the clown?

Tolkien Porn, Part IV
Here's another recent Web ad from the Evony people. Looks like they're going beyond the mere display of cleavage.
This isn't Carrie Prejean from one of her pre-pageant videos, is it? Whoever it is, I hope she washes her hands when she's through "playing."
And be sure to check out their previous exhibitions!

Quoting the Mat
Here's a place mat used at Paesano's, a local Italian restaurant in Commerce, TX:
What caught my attention is the description of the Leaning Tower of Pisa...better know, according to the place mat, as the "Leaning Tower" of Pisa. The qualifying quotes made all the difference.
Much thanks to Brad Klypchak, better known as "Brad Klypchak," for pointing this out to me.

You Can Get Arrested for That
I was walking by a Big Lots last week that was starting to put up its holiday items. Toys were prominently displayed in the front window, and many of these were Munchkin Cheers dolls. Apparently, you can squeeze them or touch them in certain places, and they'll make a noise. I noticed that one of the dolls in the display had been placed upside down in her box and that the "Try Me" hole was curiously positioned:
Kids, don't try this at home.

Clowning with Animal Rights
Here's a series of ads cooked up by the Partners Lisboa advertising agency in Portugal. Click on the image to see a larger version and get the full effect.
Animals are not clowns...we get that. But why put them behind bars and cages? I know that suggests their imprisonment and degradation--show pieces for our amusement, just as clowns are seen--but isn't the freakish getup a bit of an overkill? Either include them in just cages or show them in clown makeup. The effect is the same either way. Besides, do you really think that dressing the animals up as clowns will better endear them to us? What about those of us who find clowns, mimes, and the like annoying or frightening? Think about it, won't you?

Phone Sex?
Here is another ridiculous banner ad I found on one of the email programs. Can't remember if it was Yahoo or Gmail.
What does the scantily clad woman have to do with making money with your cell phone? And what kind of "glitch" do you have to contextualize with quotes? I don't know, since it wasn't worth my time to click through to see what this advertisement was all about.
You would think that this advertiser would at least have been a tad more subtle about his marketing strategy. Why not just go directly for the money shot, if you're going to be that obvious? I hate to say it, but this makes Evony ads look halfway intelligent.

Yep, you read that correctly. There's a clown by the name of "Doo Doo." He's managed by a Canadian company, Farco Entertainment, and apparently is quite popular. Here is an advertisement for the clown in the form of an information card:

The Ol' In and Out
Yesterday out family went to the They Might Be Giants concert at the House of Blues in Dallas. It was an incredible show, fun for kids and adults alike. But before the concert, we had to find a place to park, and we did so in a lot next to the House of Blues. The attendant there charged us $10 and then gave us this ticket:
Apparently some people have mistaken the House of Blues for another kind of house.Notice the bottom part of the ticket with its rules on "in and out privileges."
And why put that phrase in quotes? Ironic intent, direct discourse, or code for something else?

A World Away, Yet So Close
In times gone by, New Zealand was part of the exotic and intriguing 'South Pacific' region, these days, thankfully, it's an easy to get to and much-loved..
1 / 2
In times gone by, New Zealand was part of the exotic and intriguing 'South Pacific' region, a long journey into the unknown by only the most intrepid of travellers. These days, thankfully, New Zealand is an easy to get to and much-visited destination for many travellers, and on many a bucket list of those yet to experience the delights of 'down under'.
Marlborough, at the top of New Zealand's South Island, still has a touch of that remote and untouched paradise about it. Luckily for travellers, however, Marlborough is right in the centre of New Zealand and easily accessible from just about anywhere.
In terms of flying there are plenty of options, with Blenheim Airport just 10 minutes drive from the Lodge:
- Air New Zealand flies direct to Blenheim from main cities Auckland (1hr 25 mins) and Wellington (25 mins)
- Sounds Air flies from Wellington (25 mins), Kaikoura (30 mins), Christchurch (50 mins) and Napier (60 mins)
- Helicopter transfers from Christchurch, Nelson and Wellington, or another location, direct to the Lodge are also possible.
Other transfer options include ferry and car:
- From Wellington, take a 3 hour ferry ride on foot or with your vehicle. Cruise across the Cook Strait and through the stunning Marlborough Sounds onboard Interislander or Blue Bridge ferry services; It's then a short 20 minute drive from Picton to the Lodge.
- From Christchurch, it's approximately a six hour drive through the beautiful Arthurs Pass and past Saint Arnaud alpine villages nestled on the shores of Lake Rotoiti.
- From Nelson, it's just 80 minutes drive to Blenheim, passing through the ancient beech forests at Pelorus River – where The Hobbit was filmed – and past Havelock, the Greenshell mussel capital of the world.
Once you're here in Marlborough and enveloped in all the brilliant scenery – not to mention world-class wine and delectable local produce – it takes no imagination at all to feel you're a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
You're never stuck for ideas of what to do during your stay here. Simply enjoy the peace and tranquillity, take a wine tour or a seafood cruise to celebrate the region's icons, enjoy the delicious cuisine offered at many eateries around the region including breakfast and dinner at the Lodge, get active with hiking or biking the many trails, or go on the hunt with fishing and hunting trips.
Whether you're here for a holiday, a special celebration or for a mini break, ensure you take your camera, because every minute – from sunrise to sunset – is a great photo opp in Marlborough.
You can relax and enjoy the region's splendour for as long as you're able knowing that, while it might be hard to tear yourself away at the end of your stay, the logistics of leaving Marlborough and heading to your next port of call are as easy as when you arrived.

If you're feeling scattered or your mind is racing all over the place or you feel like life is just too chaotic at times, it's important to ground yourself. Grounding can be a physical connection through your feet to the ground, or a more psychological mental shift to help you release your stress and become energized again if you've been feeling sluggish.
Yoga is a great way to start practicing grounding yourself if you're feeling frazzled. It allows you to feel and connect with your body, stretching and moving, on an energetic level that comes from the root chakra or base chakra. When you ground yourself through yoga poses, you'll begin to feel more secure, patient, calm, and well…grounded!
3 Grounding Yoga Poses
Here are three easy yoga poses that will help ground you and bring balance back into your life. One of the best ways to practice these grounding poses is outside so you can connect with nature and really feel the deep connection with the ground, but you don't have to if you prefer to stay indoors.
Pose #1 – Legs Up the Wall (Viparita Karani)
Legs Up the Wall: Choose a clear space at the wall. You can also use a chair or sofa or other piece of furniture that is nearby. Sit near the wall or furniture, lie down and scoot your bottom close to it, and then rest your legs up the wall or on the furniture. You may notice yourself shifting into a deep state of relaxation. Set your phone or timer for 5-15 minutes and breathe normally. When you're done, push yourself away from the wall or furniture first before you turn to the side and gently lower your legs.
Tip: If you need support for your back, use a thick folded blanket or a firm round bolster underneath. If your body is stiff, be sure the support is lower and you're farther away from the wall or furniture. If your body is more flexible, then you can use a higher support and be closer to the wall or furniture. Also, the distance from the wall or furniture can depend on your height: If you're shorter, move closer, and if you're taller, move farther away. You can experiment with the positioning to see what feels most comfortable for you.
Pose #2 – Mountain Pose (Tadasana)
Mountain Pose: Stand with your big toes touching and your heels slightly apart. Stand up straight, lengthening your spine, keeping your shoulders down and wide, and head and neck straight. You can keep your arms at your side, palms facing inward or outward, you can raise your arms above you, or you can bring your hands together in prayer in front of your heart. Breathe normally and hold the pose for 1-5 minutes. Feel your feet rooted into the ground and the stability of the earth beneath you, steady and unshakable, like a mountain.
Tip: Practice this pose outside where you can really connect with the earth and nature, placing your feet in the soil, grass, or sand.
Pose #3 – Lotus Pose (Padmasana)
Lotus Pose: Sit on the floor with your legs crossed and focus on the root chakra/tailbone sacral area. If you are flexible, you can bring your feet up to lie on the opposite leg and cradle your feet. If these positions are not comfortable, any sitting position will work. Sit up straight, lengthening your spine and keeping your head and neck straight. You can place your hands palms facing down on your knees, or palms up with the thumbs and first fingers touching, or place your left hand over your heart and your right hand just below your belly button. Breathe normally and hold the pose 1-5 minutes.
Tip: If you're a beginner, you may want to only hold the pose for a few seconds and gradually build yourself up to a few minutes.
In addition to these yoga poses, you can also focus on your breath and practice breathing techniques to help ground you and calm your mind down. Mindful breathing will allow space to enter a cluttered mind. You can practice mindful breathing anytime, anywhere to bring about a space of grounding and ease, whether you're driving to work, walking the dog, doing the dishes, making a meal, or just lying in bed.

WWII Barracuda bomber to be rebuilt from crash wreckage
A museum's project to rebuild a WWII aeroplane from the wrecks of others collected over 40 years has begun.
Somerset's Fleet Air Arm Museum has planned to restore a Fairey Barracuda, a British carrier-borne torpedo and dive bomber, since 1971.
The plane was the first of its type used by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm to be made entirely from metal.
Chief engineer Dave Morris said the task's "enormity... coupled with lack of funds" had delayed the project.
The museum in Yeovilton, with the permission of the Ministry of Defence, began gathering crash site wreckage after collecting the nose, centre section and wing parts from Barracuda DP872 in 1971.
'Test piece of tail'
Mr Morris said the aim was to make a complete Barracuda as none exist and that "some restoration work on the nose section was started in the 1990s".
"However, the enormity of the task coupled with lack of funds meant no further significant progress was made until now."
The museum has signed a contract with Kiltech Vehicle Protection Ltd in Newcastle to work with the Bluebird Project team putting together one plane from the salvaged components.
The team has been working on the rebuilding of the Bluebird, the craft used by Donald Campbell in an ill-fated world water speed record attempt in 1967.
Mr Morris said the team was "beginning to come to the end of the [Bluebird] project" and had begun rebuilding a "test piece of the tail" of the plane.
"It's showing signs of shaping back into an identifiable Barracuda tail," he said.
"On the strength of that, we've gone with them and hope over five to seven years to see much of the Barracuda restored."
Each piece of aircraft will be transferred to the Newcastle company's workshop where it will undergo a process involving softening, straightening, stretching and reforming.
The engineer said the museum had "long wanted a Barracuda in the collection [and] now it looks like it will finally be achieved".

Starting an office from home can be a clever way of saving overhead costs and examining whether your new firm has a chance of running successfully before investing in a traditional space.
Home offices can be useful for people with young families who can't fit their nine to five positions into their taxing parental duties.
Also some types of business work well in home situations like writing and marketing firms or PR companies.
It is also a flexible arrangement that doesn't require dressing up for work or arriving at the office doorstep punctually.
However, to run a profitable business from home you must set some ground rules that should be stuck to at all costs. If you have planned to begin work at 10am each day ensure that you do so. It is very easy to fall into the trap of allowing yourself an extra hour of sleep when you know you are the boss of the firm.
Set deadlines and targets to help you work at an efficient pace and try to separate your home space from your work area. Keeping a distinct office area within your home is of the utmost importance and will prevent your private life responsibilities from spilling into your business life tasks.

ALEXANDRIA, VA--(Marketwired - Jan 10, 2014) - The American Diabetes Association (Association) is pleased to announce Basma Abdellaoui, 16, as the Association's 2014 National Youth Advocate. Diagnosed at the age of three, Basma, of San Diego, CA, has been living with type 1 diabetes for nearly all her life. As the National Youth Advocate, she will focus on promoting the Association's advocacy initiatives, and encouraging children and adults to become involved in the fight to Stop Diabetes®.
Basma has been actively involved with the American Diabetes Association since the age of five, when she first attended the Association's Camp Wana Kura, a camp for children with diabetes where she now works as a teen staff member. In addition to her dedication to care for and educate children with diabetes at camp, Basma continues to be actively involved with the Association through her local office and local events. As an avid advocate and fundraiser, she has shared her personal diabetes story and her passion to find a cure at many of the Association's signature events, including San Diego's Tour de Cure® kickoff event, the Father of the Year Awards and Step Out®: Walk to Stop Diabetes®.
In her role as the National Youth Advocate, Basma will continue to participate in important speaking engagements and advocacy efforts. She will travel the country to speak about the Association's Safe at School campaign, helping to ensure that all children with diabetes are medically safe at school.
"Basma serves as an inspiration to all people living with diabetes. The American Diabetes Association is pleased to welcome her, as she joins us as our 2014 National Youth Advocate," said Dwight Holing, Chair of the Board, American Diabetes Association. "Basma's commitment to the fight to Stop Diabetes shines through in her dedication to educating and spreading awareness about the disease. Throughout the year, her leadership as the National Youth Advocate will play a vital role in advancing the Association's legislative and regulatory priorities, placing a focus on our efforts to keep all children with diabetes safe at school."
Basma, a junior at La Jolla High School, is the youngest member of the Camp Wana Kura planning committee, volunteering her time and expertise in planning the most successful diabetes camp possible. In addition to her extensive diabetes volunteer efforts, she is also involved with the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, participates in her school's American Red Cross club, and initiated her own club at school to raise awareness about cancer and how others can get involved to help in the cause.
"Since my diagnosis with diabetes, my path has crossed with many influential and inspiring people who have shaped my journey. Since day one, my family, friends, doctors and the American Diabetes Association, have had such a huge influence on me," said Basma. "I am beyond delighted to take my journey further to a national level as the 2014 National Youth Advocate, and inspire others to become a bigger part of making a difference for people with diabetes across the nation."

HA NOI — After the Vietnam Securities Depository said the settlement period could be shortened to T+3 if brokerages settle payments prior to 4 pm of the T+2 date, several securities companies confirmed their ability to deploy.
"I think many other brokerages will be capable of implementing," said Bao Viet Securities CEO Nhu Dinh Hoa.
It was a long-standing expectation of the whole market, he added.
Reducing the period would help brokerages minimise the risks of investment, as they could flexibly react to the fast-changing market, Hoa said.
The depository centre's plan, according to the CEO, was feasible, because there would be no additional technical problems.
Meanwhile, HCM City Securities CEO Trinh Hoai Giang said that market liquidity would improve by 20-30 per cent if T+3 payment was applied.
"In addition, securities firms will have more chances to increase earnings from fees, as well as develop risk management systems, particularly in margin trading," he noted.
However, he said it was just a short-term measure, while the domestic stock market still needed a long-term solution of the T+0 date to form the base of derivatives.
Before reaching the T+0 payment, Tan Viet Securities CEO Nguyen Van Dung proposed to sell securities on the T+1 date while payment remained as T+3.
"This method could help boost market rotation by eight times and enhance transactions in the afternoon session," he added.
During a meeting last week, the depository centre said it worried about the capacity of brokerages if the settlement period was shortened. However, the number of troubled firms was small, and watchdogs should not delay such a beneficial measure, Maritime Bank Securities Co responded. — VNS

text: I recommend removing the battery and battery tray, then disconnect and clean the ground connections between the battery and 'frame'. There are four connections: Negative cable between the frame and the battery, strap between where the negative cable connects and the transmission, and the small wire that may be painted-over, which provides the ground to the dash instruments. Don't just tighten the connections. Remove, clean with a wire brush, Scotchbrite, ect., until both the frame stud, frame and cable connections are clean and shiny. After reattaching, coat the connections with some grease to reduce salt and battery acid from corroding the connections.
