Field Marshal of the Philippines was a rank created in 1936 to be held by Douglas MacArthur.
MacArthur was accorded the rank as Military Advisor to the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines, which retained his services to form an army in response to the growing danger from Japan and the increasing likelihood of war in the Pacific.
President Quezon officially conferred the title of Field Marshal on MacArthur in a ceremony at Malacañan Palace on August 24, 1936. He was presented at that time with a gold baton and a unique uniform. Although unofficially considered as the five-star rank in the Armed Forces of the Philippines, MacArthur wore no special insignia as Field Marshal of the Philippines, except for a modification to his army officer's cap. To the standard gold-trimmed visor of a United States general's cap, MacArthur added gilt trim to the front body of the cap, above the visor. MacArthur referred to this modified headdress as his "Philippine Field Marshal's cap" and wore it for the duration of World War II and into the Korean War. However, the modified army headdress was against regulations, and MacArthur never officially obtained permission to wear this as a part of his uniform.
On December 31, 1937, MacArthur first retired from the U.S. Army and the Philippine Army. He ceased to represent the United States as military adviser to the government but remained in the Philippines as Quezon's adviser in a civilian capacity.
In July 1941, MacArthur was recalled to active duty as Supreme Allied Commander South West Pacific Area. For the duration of the war he continued to wear the "Field Marshal's cap".
Emilio Aguinaldo, the first President of the Philippines, held an equivalent rank of five-star general under the title "Generalissimo" and "Minister/Field Marshal" as the first Commander-in-Chief of the AFP.
After 1946, the rank of Field Marshal disappeared from the Philippine military and today is obsolete (the highest rank now obtainable is that of four-star general). In theory, the rank could again be conferred, but this would only be in the event of the Philippines' entering into a major war.

If you ask him if he's happy, even though he's suffered the loss of his country, the Dalai Lama will give you an unconditional yes. What's more, he'll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and that "the very motion of our life is toward happiness." How to get there has always been the question. He's tried to answer it before, but he's never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand.


We have postponed the vote on the Senate Republican budget today because your language has not yet been completed. I am hopeful that we will have your final language today in time to analyze it and can proceed with a vote tomorrow.
It's come to my attention that there may be some confusion about what your obligations are and the procedures pursuant to my letter and instruction on floor on July 21st.
The Senate Republican caucus is required to post a complete budget that has the votes of all 15 members of the caucus and gain the support of 12 Democrats - not simply a list of cuts to the current budget. I requested your office to "double-join" both the budget bill - and the supplemental bill making cuts to the budget. A vote on the budget bill is a vote on the cuts and a vote on the cuts is a vote on the budget.
(1) I will recognize you for the purpose of taking up amendments to AB 203, which I will suggest be adopted unanimously without objection. This is your resubmission of the conference report in SB 77. If adopted, I will suggest that Senate Rule 29.3 be suspended, so that you may take up AB 203 immediately. If there is objection, 21 votes will be required to present the bill.
(2) I will then call the roll and pursuant to our understanding, expect 15 votes from the Republican caucus. If that vote is not forthcoming, the Senate will proceed no further. Amendments to AB 191, your supplemental bill, will require a majority vote for adoption; waiver of SR 29.3 will require 21.
Therefore, we will not take up your supplemental bill proposing cuts to the budget until and unless you can produce 15 votes on the connected budget bill itself.
Referring to my earlier letter, the directive to you and the Senate Republican caucus was to produce a budget your caucus can support unanimously - not simply a list of cuts to the budget conference report.

"The Yes Men Fix the World": Screening
at Mills Gallery, Boston Center for the Arts, 539 Tremont St, Boston (South End)
As part of the current exhibit of video works about Climate Change at the Mills Gallery (presented with the Goethe-Institut Boston), there are a couple film screenings like "The Yes Men Fix the World".
These activist pranksters blur the line of performance art, political protest, and satire. I still haven't seen the film, but I assume it's akin to an intellectual version of "Jackass".
Since the Goethe-Institut is hosting, a beautiful German short "They Will Come to Town" will also be shown. It's less than two minutes long, but it makes a lyrical statement about global warming.
"California Calling": A One-Man Show by Joe Sib
at Arts at The Armory, 191 Highland Ave, Somerville (Spring Hill)
More than a straightforward spoken word performance, Joe Sib (Wax, 22 Jacks, Sideonedummy Records) reminisces about growing up and discovering punk rock. Musical sets by Dave Hause (The Loved Ones), Sal Medrano (Dead Ellington) will open the show.
Anarchy Club, Father Octopus, Death Of The Cool, Giant Target
at Harpers Ferry, 158 Brighton Ave, Allston
Most of these guys work at the company that has brought us games like "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band", so it's not too surprising that they like to make big, loud, grungy and semi-industrial rock on their own time.

A few months ago, I ran walked in the first "Run for the Lights" 5K in Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls. After the race, there were treats and hot cocoa for the participants. That was when I met Connie.
Connie just started her own bakery business called "A Little Somethin' Sweet" and was handing out free mini cupcakes to all of the race participants. I am not a cake or frosting lover (I know, I'm weird) so I handed off my free cupcake coupon to my mom. She picked out a mini cupcake, tried it, and said to me "you HAVE to try these cupcakes". I kept saying no and that I don't like cake and blah blah blah.. but then, I noticed she had a pumpkin spice cupcake. One thing I can't say no to: pumpkin.
So, we walked up to the table and Connie let me try a cupcake, even without my coupon! I was very impressed with how the cupcakes looked since they were covered in glitter and little hearts made out of frosting.
I'm not kidding, everyone. These cupcakes are PHENOMENAL! I couldn't even finish swallowing the bite before asking "Do you do weddings, do you have October 5th open?" Connie was SO sweet and gave me all of the information I needed to get a hold of her.
I went home and raved to Terry about the cupcakes (he is not a big fan of cake either). Our initial plan was to do ice cream or even ice cream cake for our wedding instead of a traditional cake. Over the past few months, I waited patiently for Connie to contact her brides for their tastings!
Since Connie is still expanding her business, she rents out a small kitchen to do all of her baking. So, Terry and I chose 5 flavors to sample (from her list of MANY!) and she dropped them off at our door.
It was so perfect. We were able to try them without having someone staring at us, waiting for a response. We had them for dessert that night and knew right away that these were the cupcakes we wanted at our wedding. They are so beautiful! And even better - very reasonably priced!
We also requested a lemon flavor (Terry's favorite) that slipped her mind so she dropped off more cupcakes two days later!
AND!! Since we can't figure out which chocolate flavor to go with, she said she would drop off a couple more chocolate flavors sometime this weekend. I'm in mini cupcake heaven!


Pace Prints is pleased to present a series of new felt hand stamp editions by Chuck Close. The felt hand stamp prints are a completely new process for creating multiples engineered by the artist. Among the seven prints currently available are a new Self Portrait/ Felt Hand Stamp, 2012 as well as portraits of the artists Cecily Brown and Kara Walker.
In creating these prints, each color was individually stamped by hand. The stamps are hand made by the printer by gluing a hand cut small round piece of felt to wooden dowel. Each stamp can only be used to apply one color, making it necessary to use hundreds of stamps for each print. Oil paints are used instead of printing inks. The oil paint creates a textured surface and many of the colors are exactly the same as Chuck would use on his paintings. Without screen, plates or stencils to control where the color is applied charts had to be made to standardize the placement of each color.
Founded in 1968, Pace Prints is a publisher of contemporary fine arts prints with three printmaking workshops in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Since its founding, Pace Prints has collaborated in creating print editions with over 125 artists. Pace Prints is a member of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) and the International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) and is affiliated with The Pace Gallery. Gallery Hours at 32 East 57th Street are Tue-Fri, 9:30-5:30, and Sat, 10-5.


This bookmark is stitched in Counted Cross Stitch on 15 count aida band.
This bookmark measures 18 x 5cm.
The kit includes everything you need to complete the design - fabric, threads, needle and excellent instructions. Includes felt backing and a beautiful tassle.

The Danish SOER provides an overview of the current state and describes trends and indicators. This helps to provide clarity and perspective for politicians, interest groups and citizens. The SOER is an independent analysis prepared by a third party.
The 2014 SOER concludes that in some areas the environmental status has considerably improved over recent years and decades. Nevertheless significant challenges remain.
The content of pesticides in ground water has been reduced; the air has become significantly cleaner and the state of Danish lakes and streams has improved. However, these improvements are not sufficient to meet the objectives for water bodies, biodiversity is under pressure, a great part of Danish nature is still in an unfavorable condition, and resource consumption is among the highest in the world.
Agriculture occupies more than 60% of Denmark's area. Forest area is increasing and approximately 14.1% of Denmark's total area is covered by forest. The nitrogen load is decreasing, but the use of pesticides still exceeds national targets. Over the past 18 years the area of organic farming has increased approximately by a factor of 4½.
Air quality is overall improving, but remains a challenge in densely populated areas. Emissions of nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, sulfur dioxide, and heavy metals are decreasing. Fine particles, especially from wood stoves and diesel driven means of transport, continue to pose a challenge. In Copenhagen NO2 levels remain above the EU limit values (see Fig. 1).
Danish water consumption has decreased by 25-30% over the last 20 years. The environmental state in Danish lakes and streams has improved over the last 20 years. The condition in lakes and coast waters is still affected by excessive inputs of nutrients and hazardous substances and streams by poor physical conditions and inputs of organic matter. Groundwater condition has generally improved. Residues of pesticides and excess nitrate, however, still cause problems in parts of the groundwater resource.
The land based discharge of nitrogen to the inner Danish waters has been reduced by approximately 50% since 1990. Despite this effort many areas still suffer from an oxygen deficit. Overall, fishing has become more sustainable, however a number of stocks including the cod still remains under pressure. Contamination with pollutants such as TBT (tributyltin) and PAH (polyaromatic hydrocarbons) in blue mussels is declining, but the concentration of mercury is still above the environmental quality standards.
Changes in the global climate have been particularly pronounced in recent years. Emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) have started to decline. Total emissions have decreased in the period 1990 to 2012, while the global concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere continuously sets new records. Temperature, annual precipitation and the number of storms have increased and the sea levels have risen.
Open natural habitats are threatened by the impacts from nutrients which lead to overgrowth and a few dominant nutrient-requiring species of vegetation. Biodiversity continues to decline in many spheres but there are also some areas in which the speed of decline has slowed. Nutrient discharge into watercourses, lakes and seas has been significantly reduced since 1990, and there are signs of positive development in the biodiversity of aquatic environments.
Material consumption per capita has declined since 2006 and is on par with the levels of the late 1990s. Denmark's global ecological footprint has also decreased slightly, but remains one of the world's largest. Total energy consumption has decreased by 7% from 1990 to 2012. Denmark's share of renewable energy was 23% of total energy consumption in 2012 (not including incineration of waste).
In 2011 air pollution caused an estimated 3 200 premature deaths. There is still a need to reduce the risk of using chemicals. Unwanted chemicals can be measured in blood, urine and hair and they are, inter alia, under suspicion for being related to certain forms of hormone-related cancer diseases.
In 2013 production of green products generated a turnover of DKK 164 billion of which almost half is from renewable energy.
Denmark is one of the countries in Europe producing most municipal waste per inhabitant. The amount of total waste produced per capita per year is approximately 1.8 tonnes. A total of 63 % of this was recycled, 29 % was incinerated and 6 % ended up in landfills.
Public expenditure on environmental protection has decreased by approximately 20% over the past decade. The ratio of green taxes in relation to GDP has declined steadily from 2000 to 2012, but is still among the highest in the EU. Denmark is placed 13th in the Environmental Performance Index, above the European average.
Afforestation: during the period 2010 to 2013 approximately 6 900 ha of forest (state and private) have been established. There is an emphasis on forests located close to cities.
Commission on Nature and Agriculture 2013: the Commission developed 144 recommendations on how to create development and growth in the agricultural industry and simultaneously boosting nature, the environment and climate action.
National Pesticide Action Plan 2013-2015: works towards a 40% reduction in pesticide load from 2011 to 2015, inter alia, by introducing a tax on pesticides.
Nature Fund: a National Nature Fund is under establishment with the purpose improving the state of nature and the aquatic environment in Denmark.
Nature Plan: In 2014 the government launched Nature Plan Denmark, a new, long-term and comprehensive plan for how Denmarks nature becomes more rich and coherent.

Al Muhairi-trained Mashaaref Lands Jebel Ali Feature
Mashaaref wins feature

Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Horses Dominate Proceedings
The featured 1400m conditions race at Jebel Ali's second meeting of the season on Friday afternoon was won in style by Mashaaref, owned by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum who was also the sponsor of the race through his Shadwell breeding empire.
It was one of four consecutive winners for the UAE's Champion Owner.
He also supplied the runner-up in three of these contests for good measure.
Trained by Musabah Al Muhairi and ridden by the owner's retained jockey, Dane O'Neill, Mashaaref was able to concede weight to his five rivals and was repeating his victory, in the same race, of 2013.
"We knew he likes the track and goes well fresh," said O'Neill. "I was travelling so strongly I ended up hitting the front sooner than I planned but I was not going to disappoint him and he did it well enough in the end."
He was completing a rapid double for the owner after the Doug Watson-trained Ostaad, narrowly denied at the first meeting of the season in a 1600m handicap, made no mistake in the 1800m handicap, leading 200m out under Pat Dobbs and posting a comfortable victory.
The winner, one of five runners in the race for Sheikh Hamdan, swept past the same owner's Sefri to record a fourth UAE win and second on the Jebel Ali dirt.
"Pat gets on really well with this horse," said Watson. "We had to run him back here quickly as there is no other race for him here for six weeks now.
"We will also look at Meydan turf races for him with a view to qualifying him for the Dubai World Cup Carnival."
Mushaakis, trained by Ali Rashid Al Raihe, completed a treble for the owner, making virtually all, under O'Neill, in a 1400m handicap.
Firstknight chased him hard for the first half of the race but had no answer when O'Neill pressed the button about 400m from home.
The jockey was rewarded with a burst of speed from his charge and the race was effectively over as a contest with the same owner's Sahra Al Khadra chasing him home.
The winner was scoring in the UAE for the second time, both over this course and distance, while registering a sixth career success in total.
"He ran very well when second over 1200m at the first meeting here," said O'Neill. "We were pretty hopeful of a big run and I was always happy during the race."
O'Neill, completing a treble, was also in the saddle on Nawwaar in the 1200m handicap which had looked ultra competitive on paper.
However, O'Neill had his rivals in trouble just after halfway, finally being chased home by Fityaan, sporting the owner's second colours with a black cap.
A second winner for Al Raihe, it was a first win on dirt for the horse, previously considered a turf specialist, at the tenth attempt.
His four previous UAE victories were all achieved on grass, most notably Listed wins in both the 2013 National Day Cup and last year's HH The President's Cup, both at Abu Dhabi.
"It really has been a good afternoon," said O'Neill. "Nawwaar ran a decent race over 1000m here two weeks ago and was always going to appreciate the extra 200m.
"He really picked up well when I asked him and put the race to bed in a few strides.
"It is great to ride a treble for the boss and for him to have four winners is a big achievement."
It was Sheikh Hamdan's tenth winner of the season.
Watson and Dobbs were denied a double, when their Tadarrok was caught in the final 200m by Hammurabi, in the concluding 1200m maiden.
With Richard Mullen riding for his main employer, Satish Seemar, the winner showed a commendable attitude to pass his only serious rival having unshipped his jockey on the way to the start.
This was only his second career start, after a debut third over 1200m at Meydan and he would appear to have some potential to progress with experience.
The Helal Al Alawi-trained AB Jalad made it third time lucky in the only Purebred Arabian race on the card, a 1200m maiden which opened proceedings.
Hard driven by Royston Ffrench, he finished with a flourish to land the spoils, his first dirt start having run twice on the Abu Dhabi turf last season.
"He has finished off strongly," said Ffrench, partnering his first and the trainer's second winner of the campaign. "He should certainly stay further and can, hopefully, improve from this."

Why We Have a Seven Day Week and the Meanings of the Names of the Days
We can thank the Chaldeans, a people from Babylon, for providing us with the names of the days of the week. Four thousand years ago they noticed seven stars in the sky and chose their names to represent the days of the week:
Do You Know Why We Say "Set the Table"?
This expression dates back to the Middle Ages: the Lord of the manor would invite so many guests that often times the table would be too small.The quick fix was to set planks upon wooden trestles. In order to hide the rustic appearance of the table large covers would be draped or set upon it.
The Only Actor to Have Played in Six Episodes of Star Wars
Only one actor played in all six Star Wars movies (spanning a period of 30 years). Ironically, he is never directly seen. We are talking about Anthony Daniels - who, under his armor, is none other than the robot C-3PO.
Lord of the Rings by the Beatles?
Even if Lord of the Rings was only released recently, the author had previously refused several requests for permission to adapt his work, notably one from the Beatles. John Lennon would have played Gollum, Paul McCartney starring as Frodon, Ringo Starr as Sagace, and lastly Gandalf by George Harrison.
French President's Great-Grandaughters - Stars of the Hollywood Screen
Emily and Zooey Deschanel are famous American film stars, featured in the series Bones and Weeds. They are the great grand-daughters of Paul Deschanel, President of the French Republic in the 1920s.
When Luke Skywalker Becomes the Joker
Mark Hamill is known worldwide for his role of Luke Skywalker, the central protagonist of the original film trilogy of the Star Wars universe. What is not common knowledge, however, is that he has turned to dubbing, starring as the voice of a superhero in movies and video games. He is notably the voice of the Joker in the Batman movie.
Avatar - The Movie Written In 1995
Avatar, the last movie of James Cameron, was ready on paper since 1995 and production would begin in 1998, after the blockbuster Titanic. The American director held off on the project as he felt the current technology would not do justice to the special effects of the film.
The Tragic Demise of Houdini, the World Famous Magician
The American magician met his death in a surprising fashion: he boasted having muscles of steel and routinely asked members of the audience to punch him in the stomach to prove his claim. After the show he was unexpectedly punched in the abdomen and died several days later as a result of a perforated appendix.
US President Vomits on Japanese Prime Minister
The American President George W. Bush will long be remembered for his public goofs. One must note that his father, George H. W. Bush, was a notable role model: on January 8th 1992, while on a presidential tour of Japan, vomited on the Japanese Prime Minister Miyazawa Kiichi before fainting at an official dinner.
The Myth of Champagne and the Spoon
The common practice of placing a spoon in the neck of an open champagne bottle (to store it) serves absolutely no purpose, even if the spoon is solid silver.
Giants of the Vegetable World - A 35 Pound Broccoli, Realy?
Some US farmers have taken vegetable growing seriously and have world records to prove it. You won't find these in your local supermarket: Grown in Rhode Island, the world's largest pumpkin was shown at the Topsfield Fair of Massachusetts in 2007, weighing 1689 lbs.
The World's Largest Pizza Ever Weighed 26,883 Pound
According to Guinness World Records the largest pizza ever created was not in Italy (the most likely location) but in Norwood, South Africa. The pizza measured 122 feet, 8 inches in diameter, weighed 26,883 lbs, and contained 9,920 lbs. of flour, 3,960 lbs. of cheese, 1,763 lbs. of mushrooms, 1,984 lbs. of tomato puree, and 1,984 lbs. of chopped tomatoes.

Michael McCarry: U.S. cultural exchange programs 'make us safer'
Apr 11, 2017 | Advocacy, Exchange Visitor Program
Source: CENET
Michael McCarry is a Senior Advisor for CENET Cultural Exchange Network and the former Executive Director of the Alliance for International Exchange. He is a leader within the exchange community with more than 37 years international experience. In 2015, McCarry was awarded the WYSE Award at the Global Youth Travel Awards in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the youth, student and educational travel industry, supporting the WYSE Travel Confederation members and J-1 sponsors in the USA.
We are still in the first months of the Trump Administration. Early indicators suggest that our new President is not yet a supporter of international exchange programs.
While detail is scant concerning Trump's first proposed budget, press reports indicate he proposes deep cuts in funding for the State Department's exchange programs.
And during his campaign, Trump indicated that he would eliminate a variety of unfunded State Department programs that reach large numbers of international students and young professionals. These inbound programs comprise a creative range of activities for young adults that include internships, professional training, camp counseling, and casual work at summer resorts. These are programs administered by Cultural Exchange Network (CENET) and other nongovernmental organizations in partnership with the State Department.
This apparent disregard for exchanges puts Trump outside a 65-year bipartisan political consensus that these programs are an important component of our national security.
Ronald Reagan, the ultimate Cold Warrior, was a believer. After his election in 1980, Reagan wanted to deploy intermediate range nuclear missiles in Germany to counter a Soviet deployment. The German public resisted.
The White House concluded that part of its public opinion problem in Germany was demographic. Germans who remembered the defeat of Hitler, the Berlin airlift, and the Marshall Plan were passing from the scene, along with their personal sense of gratitude toward the U.S. Rising generations of Germans did not have a similar emotional connection to America.
The Reagan solution? One element was The President's Youth Exchange Initiative, designed to greatly expand high school exchanges between the U.S. and other nations, including Western Europe. The idea was to foster what President Reagan called 'a language of understanding' between nations, powered by a cohort of citizens who had lived in each other's homes, attended each other's schools, and understood each other's values.
Since the success of Reagan's youth exchange initiative, American leaders from both parties have turned repeatedly to exchange programs in times of major international events, whether crisis or opportunity. People-to-people programs were close to the heart of the American response to the 9/11 attacks, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the breakup of Yugoslavia, and China's Tiananmen Square violence.
Republicans and Democrats have always supported exchange programs for a reason: these programs make a positive difference to our national security. Exchange experiences build a web of understanding and relationships that lasts a lifetime. They make us safer.
Think about how much harder it is to demonize an entire nationality – 'all Americans are this way' or 'all Germans are that way' – if you've actually met an American or a German, had a meal with them, worked or studied beside them. That's an equation that applies to international students who come here, and to Americans who study abroad. We all win.
And think, too, how an American exchange experience affects the lives of those who come here. Those participants return to their home countries with improved English and with new knowledge and self-confidence gained from successfully navigating American culture. These qualities equip them for future success, and many exchange alumni around the world have gone on to careers as diplomats, cabinet ministers, parliamentarians, or even heads of state. And although if these alumni don't pursue careers in politics or policy, their influence in business, academia, journalism, or other fields can be significant.
Simply put, these programs make friends, often influential friends, for America.
Our new Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, made the point well in Congressional testimony in 2013, when he was Commander of the U.S. Central Command: "…if you don't fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition…
"… it's a cost-benefit ratio. The more we put into the State Department's diplomacy, hopefully the less we have to put into a military budget as we deal with the outcome of apparent American withdrawal from the international scene."
For nearly 40 years, Republicans and Democrats have agreed that President Reagan had it right: we need to keep working on his "language of understanding", a language that connects Americans to the world, and by doing so, makes us all safer.

Captain
--------------------------
Captain is yet another service discovery implementation based on redis.
Captain sacrifices a little high availability for simplicity and performance.
In most cases, we dont have so many machines as google/amazon.
The possibility of machine crashing is very low, high Availability is not so abviously important yet.
But the market only provides zookeeper/etcd/consul, they are complex, at least much complexer compared with captain.

Use Captain Java Client
-----------------------
```java
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import captain.CaptainClient;

public class Service3 {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    	// connect to multiple captain servers
    	List<ServiceItem> origins = new ArrayList<ServiceItem>(2);
    	origins.add(new ServiceItem("localhost", 6789));
    	origins.add(new ServiceItem("localhost", 6790));
    	CaptainClient client = new CaptainClient(origins);
        // CaptainClient client = new CaptainClient("localhost", 6789); single captain server
        client.watch("service1", "service2") // define service dependencies
        	  .failover("service1", new ServiceItem("localhost", 6100), new ServiceItem("localhost", 6101)) // incase there's no service1 provided
        	  .provide("service3", new ServiceItem("localhost", 6300, 30)) // provide a service with expiring age of 30s

Sustainable fashion is hot at RGT workshop - In our news section, you will find all the latest information from Dr. Bock Industries.
RGT Italia, a Padua-based subsidiary of the German garment manufacturing group Bock & Partner, recently organized the workshop "Sustainability and product development".
The two-day workshop hosted about 70 insiders from the Italian and German fashion and sportswear markets, including Hugo Boss, Marc'O Polo, René Lezard, Willi Bogner, Diadora and Emerisque Italia.
Workshops were introduced and coordinated by Dietrich Bock, CEO, Bock & Partner. RGT Italia was founded in 2013 and acts as a development partner – especially focused on treatment technologies and low impact treatments for jeans and sportswear. Bock & Partner is a long-standing garment manufacturer that owns subsidiaries in Germany, Romania and Ukraine. They employ 1,700 people, and in 2014 produced 1.7 million garments and washed 8 million garments.
Further speakers included Martina Glomb of Hanover University Fashion Design Faculty; Matteo Vallarsa, Arvind International Italia; Gigi Caccia, CEO, Italdenim; Barbara Binder, Amman Group; Alberto De Conti, Garmon; Flavio Tonello, CEO, Tonello; Begoña Garcia, Jeanologia.
Dietrich Bock showed satisfaction at the feedback he got from the event's participants and commented: "I'm sure that product managers and designers who participated in the event were able to get a wider perspective about what sustainability, renewability and eco-friendly production processes mean. And we are ready to face all future challenges."


We search the market all the time for new fabrics that would make great party shirts. The fabrics below are ones we just listed or prints that no one has ordered yet. If the fabric you choose doesn't show an actual shirt than the odds are pretty good that your shirt will be a one of a kind (at least for awhile).

Men Arrested In Visitacion Valley Shooting
by Bay City News | July 11, 2011 9:05 pm	| in News | 0
Two men were arrested last week on suspicion of shooting a teen in the head in San Francisco's Visitacion Valley neighborhood in June, police said today.
The shooting was reported at about 4:10 a.m. on June 18, and occurred near the back door of a home in the 1900 block of Sunnydale Avenue where the victim, an 18-year-old man, was standing, according to police.
The victim was shot in the head and the path of the bullet left him blind in one eye, but he is expected to survive, police said.
Based on evidence recovered at the scene, including the firearm believed to be used in the shooting, police identified Matthew Lather, 20, as a suspect and a search warrant was obtained for his home.
On Wednesday, police served the warrant and arrested Lather, and additional evidence obtained at that time led investigators to get an arrest warrant for a second suspect, 21-year-old Vincent Harris, police said.
Police spokesman Sgt. Mike Andraychak declined to specify what evidence led investigators to Harris, who was arrested in Hayward on Friday.
The arrest came about an hour after a Hayward police officer saw a bulletin sent out by San Francisco police with information in it about Harris, who the officer was familiar with and arrested as he was boarding a bus to leave the area.
Lather and Harris were both booked into jail on suspicion of attempted murder.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is on the one hand able to determine the visitors to our website as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called Facebook ads). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to show the Facebook (or Instagram) ads placed by us only to Facebook (or Instagram) users who have also shown an interest in our website or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests on certain topics or products, which are determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called custom audiences). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of the Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether website visitors have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called "conversion"). The Facebook pixel is directly integrated by Facebook when you visit our website and saves a cookie on your device. If you then log in to Facebook or visit Facebook while logged in, your visit to our website will be noted in your profile. We cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the website visitors with the data collected. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and can be used by Facebook for its own market research and advertising purposes.

This information is also used to be able to show you interest-specific and relevant offers and recommendations on other websites after you have found out about certain services, information and offers on our website. This information is stored in a cookie and is used to make you special offers that are tailored to your interests ("retargeting"). The legal basis for data processing for the use of LinkedIn is the consent of the website visitor in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can find LinkedIn's privacy policy here.

Tommy Robinson Letter Thanking Supporters Revealed
by Jack Montgomery
https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/56170/tommy-robinson-letter-thanking-supporters-revealed
A letter claiming to be from jailed citizen journalist and street organiser Tommy Robinson and apparently written from his prison cell expresses thanks to his supporters for turning out for him in their thousands around the world.
Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was given a 13-month prison sentence for contempt of court in May after an arrest, prosecution, hearing, and sentencing process which was concluded in a matter of hours.
He had been live-streaming about a grooming gang trial subject outside Leeds Crown Court which had been subject to reporting restrictions, although the court dates, names of the defendants, and charges against them had already been published by the mainstream media.

Q: Yay, we have runnable code snippets; Do I go and edit all my questions (causing them to rise to the top)? We now have runnable code snippets (on programming related sites); so does that mean that we should:

*
*Edit all our questions/answers or,

*Let them naturally evolve into this newer functionality?
The main concern is that now a whole bunch of older questions/answers could move into the 'interesting'/'active' questions pages.

A: No, do not do mass edits.

*

*You will hit the daily limits for editing lots of posts in one day. This will stop you editing more and will raise an automatic moderator flag. We have enough flags to deal with without people adding more unnecessarily.

*You will bump all your posts to the top of the home page. While one person doing this is probably not a problem (see point 1 above), everybody doing this would be. You would be displacing new questions that don't have answers that deserve their chance to get answers. All you are doing is "make work" on something that's fine as it is (see point 3 below).

*What benefit will there be to your old questions/answers from doing this? The questions probably already have answers, the answers have been doing OK without snippets, they don't need any more help.
By all means convert the code to snippets when you are editing the post for other reasons, it won't hurt the post. However, mass editing by everyone is not the way to do this.

Q: what's wrong with this sql trigger statement I am writing my first sql trigger query.So i am trying to grasp the idea of trigger statement.My plan is to--

1.insert data to a table called 'trigger_table';
2.After insertion ,fetch data from that exact same table and store it to a php variable using PDO;

So i wrote the following trigger statement.And i get this error while executing sql in mysql workbench

ERROR 1415: Not allowed to return a result set from a trigger

SQL Statement:

CREATE TRIGGER `trigger_table_AINS` AFTER INSERT ON trigger_table FOR EACH ROW

-- Edit trigger body code below this line. Do not edit lines above this one

  BEGIN

        SELECT * FROM trigger_table;

    END

It would be a great help if anyone guide me towards the right path to accomplish my task.Thanks !
php code:
   $db=new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=trigger",'root','');
   $sql="INSERT INTO trigger_table (name,email) VALUES('zami','alzami@gmail.com')";
   $conn=$db->prepare($sql);
   if($conn->execute()){
      $result=$conn->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
   }

A: Triggers are meant to react to an event to update, modify or delete content.  As the error states, they aren't meant to return data.
Per the documentation:

A trigger is a named database object that is associated with a table, and that activates when a particular event occurs for the table. Some uses for triggers are to perform checks of values to be inserted into a table or to perform calculations on values involved in an update.

You may be after a Stored Routine

Stored routines (procedures and functions) are supported in MySQL 5.7. A stored routine is a set of SQL statements that can be stored in the server. Once this has been done, clients don't need to keep reissuing the individual statements but can refer to the stored routine instead.
