On hot summer days in Oklahoma, when the thermometer tops 100°F and a hot wind blows from the south and I've spent an hour or two weeding the garden or mucking out the horse barn, a cold bottle of water with droplets of condensation on the outside is what I yearn for, my reward. I can't imagine being thirstier than that, but we're all used to water flowing at the turn of a faucet. When a storm knocks out the power, or a pipe breaks somewhere in the system, water might not be so easy to get or as safe to drink.
Our bodies are made up of 60% water, and every cell in our bodies needs water to function. Although a person can survive about three weeks without food, without water our life expectancy is about three days.
Several years ago we had an ice storm here at Oak Hill that knocked out our power for five days. Most rural areas are dependent on power for their water; without power water can't be pumped from rural wells, so the faucets don't run and toilets don't flush. Fortunately, we have what Oklahoma calls rural water, which is similar to city water that flows from a central water tower. Of course the water in that tower comes from somewhere; in our case it comes from a lake. The water tower is gravity fed so it will keep our community going for awhile, but without power to pump water up into the tower this water source would eventually dry up. How long will that water last? I hope I never find out, but fortunately we also have a well.
It never hurts to have more than one source of water or any other item we're dependent on. Have you identified alternate sources of water in case you ever need it?
FEMA suggests storing a minimum of one gallon of water per person, per day, and that you store at least three days' worth of water. That's twelve gallons of water for a family of four for three days. Supposedly this is enough water for drinking, cooking and hygiene, but since a person is supposed to drink two-thirds of their weight in ounces of water every day, I think this is a very low amount.
A 150-pound person is supposed to drink 100 ounces of water per day.
A gallon of water is 128 ounces.
So maybe we should double that daily amount of water we store for each person. You'll need additional water for personal hygiene, for washing dishes and pots, for washing clothes, and so on. You should drink more if you are active or if the weather is hot and dry, if you are sick, are pregnant or nursing. You'll also need water for cooking.
And don't forget your animals! You should store water for them too, or at least have another source of water for them such as a pond.
The easiest and quickest way to store water is to buy it. Somewhere in your town a store sells returnable and refillable 5-gallon water bottles; look for their displays near the door of big box stores, hardware chain stores and grocery stores. These bottles are heavy and a bit awkward to pour into some other container, but are a quick way to add water to your storage.
Cases of individual water bottles are also quick and easy to buy, and the cases stack well.
You can even buy canned water. We had a case of military-issued cans, the same size cans that hold soda pop.
An inexpensive way to add to your water storage is to refill empty juice or soda bottles with tap or filtered water. I consider this free, since I've already paid for the bottles when they were full of juice. Wash the empty bottles and tops well before refilling. Milk jugs are not recommended; they aren't made for long-term storage and are prone to crack and leak.
Fill all those empty canning jars with water. You're storing them anyway, why not fill them up?
Store your water in sealed, labeled containers in a dark, cool place. Do not set the containers directly on concrete, or store near chemicals or harsh fumes.
Once you've stocked "enough" water, begin rotating your bottles. Use the oldest bottles and replace them with new bottles. Stored water can taste stale; pouring it back and forth from one container to another a few times will introduce air and improve the taste.
For large-scale storage look into fifty-five gallon non-toxic barrels (affiliate link) intended for water storage. Be sure to buy a siphon system too so you can get the water out when you need it.
Smaller two- to five-gallon water containers (affiliate link) are available in the camping section of your local big box stores and Amazon.
The Water Bob is a one-use plastic container intended to be filled in your bathtub in an emergency. If an ice storm or a hurricane is predicted and you think the power may go out, put the Water Bob in your bathtub and fill with water. (My bathtub would never be clean enough to drink out of, no matter how well I scrubbed it - after all, ducklings have gone swimming in it and one day I found a salamander that had evidently come up the pipes. I'm not drinking out of it, no sirree.) Available at Amazon (affiliate link) and at the Water Bob website.
A water filter is a wise investment in water storage, but invest in a good one. Should you need to drink rain water, melted snow or water from a less-than-optimum source, you'll need to filter it. Personally, we always filter our tap water.
Berkey water filters remove harmful bacteria, cysts, parasites, and chemical contaminants up to 99.99%, and significantly reduce fluoride and arsenic levels in water, making almost any water safe to drink. Hubby's military unit overseas had the largest Berkey unit available, but there are smaller sizes intended for households.
The Life Straw personal water filter (affiliate link) is portable and intended for one person's drinking needs. It's a great product to keep in your evacuation gear.
This week's free printable worksheet will help you determine how much water you should drink daily and how much you should store. Click here to download the printable.
Hop on over to our OHH Homesteading Community Facebook group and share your thoughts.
Those are really good tips about water storage. I especially like the tip to make stale water taste better. We live rurally and depend on electricity to pump water from our well. I've practiced pressure canning by canning water. So that was doubly beneficial.
I did the same thing, Michelle: learned how to pressure can by canning water. Now I just fill the jars and screw the lids on. It takes up just as much space as empty jars, so why not? Occasionally I water the plants with that water and then refill them.
That's a good use for your tax refund, Danielle! They're expensive to buy but last forever and it's an excellent investment in your family's health, not to mention being prepared for a water emergency.

Momentum grows as U.S. Chamber recognizes Delta's anti-trafficking work; Seattle campaign launches
Emma Kate Protis
Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world, with an estimated 25 million victims. Following the airline's rally to fight human trafficking, Delta people continue taking the drumbeat of activism into airports and communities worldwide.
"As the Big Game heads to Atlanta this weekend, we're seeing awareness spread among Delta employees in a measurable way," said Allison Ausband, S.V.P. of In-Flight Service and head of Delta's Anti-Trafficking Steering Committee. "We've seen 4,000 additional employees take our human trafficking prevention training in the past two weeks alone, and are keeping the momentum going until we are 80,000 strong."
Delta's campaign recognized as 'best practice' by U.S. Chamber
As part of Human Trafficking Awareness Month, Mimi Braniff, Managing Director – Government Affairs, participated in a panel last week at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. The panel spotlighted the key role businesses play in preventing human trafficking.
Braniff, second from left, highlighted Delta's most recent campaign, which calls for employees and customers to #GetOnBoard. The campaign includes enhanced signs in airports across the country, and an in-flight video that puts a face to modern slavery.
"Delta continues to lead the aviation and travel industry in building action and awareness about human trafficking," Mimi said. "We're proud of the engagement of our 61,000 employees who have received training to recognize trafficking indicators. And we're not stopping there."
In addition to the 61,000 Delta employees trained to identify and report human trafficking at home, onboard or wherever their travels take them, the airline's 535 employees volunteering at the big game in Atlanta on Sunday are equipped with training to detect exploitation.
Launch of Seattle awareness efforts
This month, Delta joined King County, City of Seattle and Port of Seattle to launch a new human trafficking awareness campaign in the Pacific Northwest.
The Seattle campaign includes signs in airports, buses, trains, health clinics, community centers and elsewhere that encourage people to call the National Human Trafficking Hotline for help. The goals of the campaign are to raise awareness about the nature of human trafficking; how and where it occurs; how to prevent and stop trafficking; helping to identify victims and survivors; and promoting access to services.
Tony Gonchar, Delta's Vice President – Seattle, outlined Delta's industry-leading efforts to fight human trafficking at a press conference.
"As one of the world's largest airlines, we have a responsibility to fight for those who can't fight for themselves. In addition to partnering with organizations like Polaris, as well as King County, City of Seattle and Port of Seattle, we're fighting the issue of human trafficking head on. We're taking a stand to help raise awareness and send a clear message to traffickers to stay off of our planes, out of our airports and away from our communities."
The Seattle efforts are just another extension of Delta's #GetOnBoard campaign. Delta has led the fight against human trafficking since becoming the first airline to sign the ECPAT Code of Conduct in 2011. Delta facilitates volunteer opportunities for employees in 13 cities to support survivors in their recovery. Additionally, the airline offers apprenticeships for survivors at its Atlanta headquarters to provide opportunities to learn professional skills.

Q: java.lang.IllegalStateException when trying to navigate between two Java EE applications Basically i have a enterprise jsf application which shows some services to the user.
Different departments of the enterprise host different applications on single webserver and links are provided in our application to access them.
I have a Servlet named RedirectServlet in my application through which i am redirecting all the requests to different applications.The following is my redirectservlet
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        LOGGER.debug("In doGet()");
        try{
            if(request.getParameter("URL") != null){
                LOGGER.debug("URL Found redirecting forward");
                String redirectUrl = request.getParameter("URL");
                response.sendRedirect(redirectUrl);
            }
        }catch(NullPointerException e){
            LOGGER.debug("URL not found setting new session parameters & redirecting forward");
            HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
            try {
                response.sendRedirect(properties.getProperty(REDIRECTURL, true));
            } catch (Exception e1) {
                LOGGER.debug("Expcetion with propertiesfile: ",e1);
            }
        }
    }

What i do above is if a link is clicked(URL parameter is present) i redirect to specific application, otherwise i just create a new session of my application and redirect to my application homepage.
when the user logsout from any other application, i am redirecting back to my application
This is how i am redirecting back to my application
public void Logout(){
        LOGGER.debug("In LogOut");
        try
        {
            HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
            HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
            HttpSession session = req.getSession(false);
            LOGGER.debug("report session id:" + session.getId());
            res.sendRedirect(REDIRECTURL);
            session.invalidate();
        }catch(IllegalStateException e){
            LOGGER.debug("Exception in LogOut", e);
        }
        catch (IOException e){
            LOGGER.debug("Exception in LogOut", e);
        }
    }

i am getting the following server error message at res.sendRedirect line in the above code
HTTP Status 500 -

This is how we are managing session between applications
When the user first login to our application, we store in the some details in DB and after that every applications checks in the DB for that details.
Please somebody help how to solve this.This is time critical
Both the applications are using JSF 1.2 and Apache Trinidad.

A: The above exception is gone when i added the following line in Logout() method above
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();

Here is my modified Logout() method
public void Logout(){
        LOGGER.debug("In LogOut");
        try
        {
            HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
            HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
            HttpSession session = req.getSession(false);
            LOGGER.debug("report session id:" + session.getId());
            session.invalidate();
            res.sendRedirect(REDIRECTURL);
            FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();
        }catch(IllegalStateException e){
            LOGGER.debug("Exception in LogOut", e);
        }
        catch (IOException e){
            LOGGER.debug("Exception in LogOut", e);
        }
    }

A: session.invalidate();
res.sendRedirect(REDIRECTURL);

Try this out. It may solve your problem.

Fellom Ballet's telling of the Brothers Grimm's "The Frog Prince" is told in a prologue and three acts with a 1-hour running time as adapted by Martie Fellom. The score features the musical compositions of Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921). The ballet centers on a spoiled princess named Vivian, who meets a kind and polite frog, who is actually a prince named Josef under the spell of Brunhilde, a spiteful fairy. In the course of carrying out three promises she makes to the Frog Prince in return for rescuing her crown from a well, Princess Vivian finds true love with Josef and breaks the spell. Ultimately, the couple weds and learns that it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside; it's what's on the inside that counts.

Fellom Ballet's story of The Firebird is told in a prologue and three acts with a 1-hour running time as adapted for children's ballet by Martie Fellom. The story unfolds as Prince Ivan, while hunting in the forest, strays into the garden of Kashchei, whose evil cannot be destroyed unless her soul, which she keeps hidden in a great chest, is found. That's when Ivan spots the Firebird, an enchanted creature with feathers the color of fiery flames feasting on golden apples in Kashchei's garden. He captures the Firebird, whose magic can be used only for good. The Firebird begs Ivan to release her, which he does because he has a kind heart. As a token of thanks, she offers him an enchanted feather that he can use to summon her should he ever need help.
During his time in the garden, Prince Ivan sees a group of princesses who are held captive by Kashchei and falls instantly in love with one of them, Princess Isadora. He vows to rescue Isadora and the other princesses by confronting Kashchei face to face. Just as Kashchei is about to turn Ivan to stone, he summons the Firebird. She intervenes, telling Ivan where to find Kashchei's soul and to return with it. The Firebird rescues everyone imprisoned in the palace and frees Kashchei from her evil heart. Good triumphing over the wicked is celebrated by all in the land.
Principal dancers are: Sarah Nepveux as Princess Isadora, Brianne Nix as Kashchei and Hayley Novak as the Firebird. Guest performer Jeremy Lloyd will portray Prince Ivan, and instructor Faith Allen will dance the role of Kashchei's Soul.

Under Pressure: Jonathan Toews
By Jason BroughAug 10, 2017, 11:15 AM EDT
This post is part of Blackhawks Day on PHT…
In the two years after Brandon Saad was traded to Columbus, Jonathan Toews went through a whole host of left wingers and never really found consistent chemistry with any of them.
So on June 23, Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman went out and got Saad back.
The cost was significant, with Chicago sending Artemi Panarin to the Blue Jackets. But in order to get Toews back on track offensively, Bowman felt the deal had to be made.
"There's no doubt they had tremendous chemistry," Bowman said of Toews and Saad, per the Chicago Tribune. "When Brandon first came in as a rookie he found a home there on Jonathan's left wing. … It's comfortable knowing he had great success with Jonathan, and if they go back to that it's great."
Now, the flip side of that is Patrick Kane's chemistry with Panarin. Those two were terrific together, along with center Artem Anisimov, and now Kane will have to make do with somebody else on his line.
"I'd be lying to you if I was sitting up here saying I wasn't disappointed when it first went down, no doubt about it," Kane said, per the Chicago Sun-Times. "Artemi's a great kid, someone I got along with really well off the ice and had that chemistry with on the ice. It was just fun to play with him every night. I'll miss him, for sure."
So put yourself in Toews' shoes. The first two years of your massive contract extension, you didn't produce enough and your team didn't get out of the first round. Not only that, your GM was so worried about your production that he traded one of the NHL's most dynamic players to get your old linemate back.
Toews already went into last season putting pressure on himself to score more — and he ended up with just 21 goals, the fewest of his NHL career.
But at least he had a decent excuse, given the lack of quality on his left wing.
That excuse is gone now.

Understanding genome editing
Genetic Alliance UK's and Progress Educational Trust's joint project on communication and understanding of genome editing is complete.
What were the aims of the project?
The project aimed to explain genome editing to patients, parents and carers affected by genetic conditions to enable them to discuss genome editing and participate in future discussions about this important technology. During the progress of the project, the Genetic Alliance UK and Progress Educational Trust teams worked with the project participants to identify the most appropriate way to describe genome editing while focusing on its most crucial aspects.
Who took part?
Genetic Alliance UK convened a group of 18 people affected by genetic conditions, including: inherited breast cancer risk, cystic fibrosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, epidermolysis bullosa, leukaemia, muscular dystrophy, Niemann-Pick disease, Noonan syndrome, primary ciliary dyskinesia, sickle cell disease and thalassaemia. Progress Educational Trust convened a group of people working in the fertility and infertility area. These groups met in a series of workshops, each with expert speakers, and had the opportunity to visit an Institute of Cancer Research laboratory using genome editing to carry out research.
What are the findings and who are they aimed at?
The key recommendations of this work are in the first instance aimed at scientists who need to talk about genome editing with non-expert audiences, but the majority of them can be broadly applied. The report recommends a focus on genome editing rather than the tools or techniques that carry-out genome editing, and so to deprioritise the use of terms like 'CRISPR' unless necessary. The focus should instead be on the purpose or potential use of genome editing. It is also crucial to be clear about the scope of individual uses of genome editing. We need to distinguish clearly between uses that benefit human health and other purposes such as agriculture. Is this technology available now, soon, or is this many years away? Is genome editing being used as tool for research, or will the genome editing be part of a therapy? Would changes in the law be necessary to use genome editing in this way? The clearer we can be, the better the chance we have of communicating effectively on this subject.
The full report contains our findings in full, including our key recommendations, and our guidance to scientists explaining genome editing in public. Annexes to the report which explain our methodology in greater detail are available here.
The project team and the participants are keen to carry on talking about genome editing. We would like to begin to explore some of the ethical issues that surround genome editing. Genetic Alliance UK are working to secure funds to continue the work.
We would like to thank Wellcome for funding this project, and Progress Educational Trust, the speakers and facilitators at our workshops, and most of all the participants, without which the work would not have been possible.

Original Face ID patent applications published
Feb 8, 2019 | Chris Burt
A series of patent applications related to the iPhone X have been published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, including Apple's integrated Face ID 3D facial recognition technology that introduced the biometric concept to millions of consumers.
Many reported patent filings from Apple and other companies involve inventions that could be implemented in the future, or not at all, such as a skin texture pattern-recognition patent Apple recently filed. The three newly-published patents, however, describe features of the original iPhone X, as PatentlyApple reports.
The patent for a "Portable Electronic Device" details the now famous "notch" containing the vision system, as well as the wireless charging module. "Electronic Device having a Vision System Assembly held by a Self-Aligning bracket Assembly," sets outs Face ID's dual camera and light emitting vision system, noting that emitted light rays may be infrared.
In a key section, Apple writes that the bracket assembly contains "a vision system designed to assist in providing recognition of an object, or objects. In some instances, the vision system is designed to provide facial recognition of a face of a user of the electronic device. The vision system may include a camera module designed to capture an image, which may include a two-dimensional image. The vision system may further include a light emitting module designed to emit several light rays toward the object. The light rays may project a dot pattern onto the object. Further, the light emitting module may emit light in the frequency spectrum of invisible light, such as infrared light (or IR light). The vision system may further include an additional camera module designed to receive at least some of the light rays reflected from the object, and as a result, receive the dot pattern subsequent to the light rays being reflected by the object."
It also notes the possible inclusion of a light filter for the second camera to confine it to capturing light in the frequency emitted by the projector.
"Biometric Authentication Techniques" applies the technology described above to biometric authentication. It refers to possible two-dimensional image capturing with flood illumination and three-dimensional image capture with depth illumination, as well as the use of a secure circuit along with the image processor for matching. The patent also mentions the use of techniques such as pseudo-random capture mode sequences to prevent replay attacks and other spoofs.
Face ID is expected to be upgraded in new iPhones planned for launch in 2019.

I have once again gotten a probiotic to try out and tell all about how great it is. And it would not be a lie to tell you how much I love probiotics!!
They are so good for you! Your immune system starts in your gut, if that is healthy, then so are you. Your body already has trillions of good bacteria in your intestines, but use of antibiotics and sometimes food can kill those bacteria that your body needs to fight off sickness and illness. Probiotics are needed to keep you healthy.
Number One Nutrition Advanced Probiotic states to take 2 capsules with food, after doing this for a couple days I had to cut back to one capsule. I was getting cramping in my lower gut. I cannot tell you exactly why this happened except maybe I was getting too much good bacteria. My gut health I would like to believe is pretty good, and the old saying "too much of a good thing is not always good", can be true.
But once I switched to just one capsule the cramps were gone and I feel great!

THE LATEST TONY BENNETT CHRISTMAS ALBUM
News of the latest repackaged reissue of Tony Bennett Christmas Music did not reach us until the end of November, which was far too late to catch our December issue. This was a pity, because it is an attractive collection, which features some fine tracks that Tony recorded with Robert Farnon.
The following numbers come from that great "Snowfall" LP, first released in 1968: My Favourite Things; The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire); I Love The Winter Weather/I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm; Winter Wonderland; White Christmas
There are also some arrangements that Robert Farnon did for Tony's Hallmark CD that appeared in 2002. This time the London Symphony Orchestra was conducted by Don Jackson, and a choir was added to Bob's scores – not entirely to his liking: Deck The Halls; O Little Town of Bethlehem; O Come All Ye Faithful; Silent Night.
Other tracks feature Tony singing arrangements by Bill Holman, Torrie Zito, Jorge Calandrelli, Lee Musiker and a previously unreleased What Child Is This (Greensleeves) arranged by Marion Evans.
The catalogue number is RPM Recordings / Columbia / Legacy 88697 955762. You might like to order a copy now to save for next Christmas, but maybe yet another Tony Bennett collection of reissues may come along later this year?!
It seems that Tony Bennett is never out of the news, and last September he received a lot of publicity for the release of "Tony Bennett: The Complete Collection", issued to commemorate his 85th birthday. It comprises 73 CDs and could cost you around £260 in the UK if you shop wisely! Undoubtedly good value at £3.56 a disc, provided that it doesn't duplicate too much of your existing collection. The bonus, of course, is the inclusion of everything he has done with Robert Farnon, some of it previously unobtainable on CD.
THE BBC CONCERT ORCHESTRA CELEBRATES ITS 60TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2012
BBC Radio 2 is celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the famous BBC Concert Orchestra with an 11-part series of "Friday Night Is Music Night". From Friday 20 January until late in March, Ken Bruce is hosting a well-deserved tribute to one of the most famous radio orchestras in the world, broadcast on Radio 2 at 8:00pm.. Hailed as "a worthy instrument" presenting a "brilliant new era of entertainment music", they made their first broadcast on 11 September 1952. But their story began 20 years before, when they were known as the BBC Theatre Orchestra (conductor Leslie Woodgate), whose main role was to provide incidental music for radio plays, but who also gave light music and opera concerts. In 1949 for a few years they were renamed the BBC Opera Orchestra, conducted by Stanford Robinson. The series of eleven programmes features a different archive show each week, with performances from light music giants Sidney Torch, Vilem Tausky, Robert Farnon, Eric Coates and others. There are also performances with famous singers and soloists who have appeared with the orchestra, and interviews with players and conductors. Today the BBC Concert Orchestra is widely praised for its regular broadcasts on radio (both Radio 2 and Radio 3), its appearances at prestigious events such as the BBC Promenade Concerts, and its continually growing number of superb compact discs.
Once again Edinburgh's music lovers will soon be treated to some of the finest light music, courtesy of RFS member James Beyer, conductor of the Edinburgh Light Orchestra. The next Concert will be on Saturday 26th May 2012 at the usual venue - The Queen's Hall, commencing at 7:30. The booking office opens on 26 March – Queen's Hall booking hotline 0131 668 2019; bookings direct from Edinburgh Light Orchestra 0131 334 3140. Ticket prices range from £9.50 to only £6.00 – an absolute bargain these days! More on the orchestra's website: www.edinburghlight orchestra.moonfruit.com. Guest soloist will be the Baritone Bruce Graham who is an old friend of James. Bruce was born and educated in Edinburgh and played in many local amateur productions before beginning his professional career in 1978. He joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company with whom he played many of the Gilbert and Sullivan character roles. Since his spell with the D'Oyly Carte, Bruce has appeared in a number of shows in London's West End, such as 'Me and My Girl' and 'Cats'. Other aspects of Bruce's work have ranged from film and television to Old Time Music Hall and pantomime; and he has appeared all over the world as a principal with the Carl Rosa Opera Company.
Tony Bennett was interviewed by Aidin Vaziri for the San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday 11 December 2011. We repeat below one of the questions, and Tony's reply:
Q: Barring the present moment, do you have a favorite Tony Bennett era?
A: Wow, that is a tough question. I loved the time I lived in London in the '70s, as I got to work with the master Robert Farnon.
Our thanks to Forrest Patten for sending this to JIM.
Colin Berry did Light Music fans proud on his BBC Three Counties Radio shows over the Christmas period. He made good use of the Guild 'Christmas Celebration' CD. On Christmas Eve his listeners heard Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (Boston Pops), It Came Upon The Midnight Clear (Billy Vaughn), Christmas Alphabet (George Melachrino) and Nazareth (Mantovani). For his Christmas Day show Colin selected Christmas Sleigh Bells (Angela Morley) and Sleigh Ride (Boston Pops).
Last Christmas we didn't get another TV show from the John Wilson Orchestra like "Swingin' Christmas" in 2010, but we did enjoy a repeat of the "Hooray for Hollywood" Prom and a semi-documentary about great Hollywood dancers that included some fascinating glimpses of John recording the music in the famous Studio 2 at Abbey Road. The subject of the 90-minute programme (first shown on BBC 2, then repeated a few days later on BBC Four immediately before John's Prom) was the famous ballerina Darcey Bussell who stepped into the shoes of her Hollywood heroes to celebrate the enduring legacy of classic dance musicals. To quote from the BBC's own publicity: "In the age of 'Strictly Come Dancing' and 'Streetdance 3D', Darcey, one of Britain's greatest living dancers and Hollywood musical superfan, discovers that the key to understanding where this dance-mad culture comes from lies in classic movie musicals. She takes famous dance routines from her favourite Hollywood musicals and reveals how they cast their spell, paying tribute to the legends of the art form and discovering the legacy they left. Darcey pays homage to Fred Astaire in an interpretation of Puttin' on the Ritz; plays Ginger Rogers in a rendition of Cheek to Cheek; pays tribute to the exuberant Good Morning from 'Singin' in the Rain'; and stars in a new routine inspired by Girl Hunt Ballet from 'The Band Wagon'. Darcey works with leading choreographer Kim Gavin and expert conductor John Wilson, who has painstakingly reconstructed the original scores, as she discovers how dance in the movies reached a pinnacle of perfection and reveals how the legacy of the golden age lives on."
Readers with internet access will know that there are many interesting sites out there at the click of a mouse. Nigel Burlinson has recently discovered that the 1945 film "I Live In Grosvenor Square" is available to watch at http://goo.gl/cnhhu. (Alternatively just visit YouTube and type in the title of the film). This was the film that featured Robert Farnon and the Canadian Band of the AEF, and it could be said to have firmly launched his working partnership with Anna Neagle and Herbert Wilcox. Only a few years later this produced "Spring In Park Lane", one of the most successful British movies of the last century.

Q: If i load the checkboxes from database, and i uncheck the checkbox after submit it is still checked The unchecking and checking after submit works if i don't use this line of code to load the data everything works. echo ($extraServices == 'Park') ? "checked='checked'" : (($extraServices == 'Park,Electricity')  ?
<input type="checkbox" name="services[]" value="Park" <?php
echo ($extraServices == 'Park') ? "checked='checked'" : (($extraServices == 'Park,Electricity')  ? "checked='checked'" : "");
if(isset($_POST['services'])) {
    if(in_array("Park", $_POST['services'])) {
       echo "checked='checked'";
    }
}
?>> Park

So now if use echo "checked='checked'"; and echo ($extraServices == 'Park') ? "checked='checked'" : (($extraServices == 'Park,Electricity')  ? "checked='checked'" : "");
 together. It doesn't work. So with this code it will load the data from the database on which checkbox was checked. That works. But if i uncheck a checkbox it wont be unchecked after submit. How can i solve this? I thought about a way to detect if i load this page for the first time. But then i bumped into the problem that that was for loading the page the first time EVER.
I wanted to come up with something to detect if the page loads and loads the data. After that it doesn't need to load the data from the database. But i don't know how i could do this.
I dont know what to do now, hope that someone got some idea's?
Thanks for your help.

A: It is easier to code complex if this or that or the other type tests as a simple piece of php rather than trying to bury the tests into some html. That becomes unmaintainable very quickly. It is also not recommended to string ternary tests together.
So create an empty variable and then fill it with the checked=checked if the rules say it should be checked
<?php
$chk = '';
// here are the rules for setting the checked attribute
if ( ($extraServices == 'Park') || ($extraServices == 'Park,Electricity') ) {
    $chk = 'checked=checked';
}
?>
<input type="checkbox" name="services[]" value="Park" <?php echo $chk;?> >

So the HTML will add $chk always, but if its not required, $chk will simply be empty :)
If I missed something this at least should set you on the right path. Post a comment below if you need anything explaining in any more detail
