Q: Save $_SESSION on JQUERY $.POST I have an HTML page in which I use Jquery .post() to post the forms into one big php file. I thought that this way I'll be able to save the username in a $_SESSION.
I have a login form that stores the username into a session, but then, when I try to display the php file (using .load()) in a different html page (linked to by the login one) I have no session variable set.
When I did a little debugging I found out the session is lost only if it's created in the if(isset($_POST['username'})) part of the page.
<?php
    session_start();
    include_once("connect.php");
    $username = $_SESSION['username'];

    //check if username is in session
    if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
        $username = $_SESSION['username'];
        echo "";
    }else{
?>

<?php
    //if not, check login
        if(isset($_POST['username']) and isset($_POST['password'])){
            $username = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['username']);
            $password = md5($_POST['password']);

            $result = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password' AND active='1' LIMIT 1") or die(mysqli_error($conn));
            $count = mysqli_num_rows($result);
            if ($count == 1){
                $_SESSION['username'] = $username;

                $result = mysqli_query($conn, " SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE username = '$username'");
                while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
                    $oldlogin = $row['lastlogin'];
                }

                echo "";

            }

            $result = mysqli_query($conn, " SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE username = '$username'");

Day After Tomorrow Tour - China
Day After Tomorrow Tour - China Shenzhen / Hangzhou / Shanghai
27 May till 01 Jun 2018
How do Chinese innovation pioneers organize for their Day After Tomorrow? Which Day After Tomorrow technologies are they investing in? What are their business models for the Day After Tomorrow?
Our tour will open your eyes to the rich possibilities of the East, shift your perspective and showcase tangible answers to the questions described above. Prepare to be blown away.
This tour is unfortunately over but check the Day After Tomorrow Tour China for September 2018
Check out the next China Tour
China is well on its way to becoming one of the top innovation nations in the world. For the last years, top pioneers in China have been outnumbering – and even out-innovating – the top companies in Silicon Valley. Alibaba, Tencent and Youku Tudou are just some of the most well-known examples. But the region is also a true hotbed for fresh and leading edge start-ups and scale-ups like Xiaomi, Didi Chuxing and Lu.com. One of the most striking differences with the West is the scale & speed of their endeavours. Chinese organizations do not just 'Think Big'. They 'Think Huge': beyond their company, beyond their products, their services, their country, their target market, and their competition. We have a lot to learn from their ambition.
Join us on an eye-opening innovation tour to Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Shanghai, three of the fastest growing innovation hubs in the world. Together we'll experience how Chinese organizations are able to innovate on such a mind-blowing scale, which role the government or the national culture have to play in this and what the latest tech and business trends of the East are. This tour will literally turn your perspective upside down.

Casey Anthony's Dad Claims to Have Seen Caylee After Her Death: "It Wasn't a Dream"

In the six years since Casey Anthony was infamously acquitted while on trial for the murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee, her parents, George and Cindy, have been estranged from their daughter, opting to keep an incredibly low profile in the media. While they have resurfaced over the years — often to give comments in response to news related to their daughter and late granddaughter — few interviews have been as telling as their recent one with Crime Watch Daily. During the interview with journalist Chris Hansen, retired police officer George made the shocking claim that he has been "visited" by his granddaugher, who affectionately called him "Jojo."
"I've seen Caylee on a couple of occasions," he said on the true crime program. When asked it it was an "apparition" — aka a ghost — he added, "No, no. I've seen her in the flesh in my house. One time she woke me up in the morning just tapping on me with her little finger like she used to. 'Jojo, wake up.'"
When asked if it was a dream, he insisted, "It was like you and I are talking right now… That's not an imagination. That's love, and that's a connection that I wish more people could have." During the same interview, his wife said that she believed him.
Caylee's body was found on Dec. 11, 2008 — nearly six months after she was reported missing by her maternal grandma. Her skeletal remains were found in a blanket inside of a trash bag in the woods near her family's home in Florida. Duct tape was found near her skull, prompting the medical examiner to rule the death a homicide, though it was officially listed as "death by undetermined means" on her death certificate.
Though George was incredibly close with his granddaughter — and it's clear the bond is still special to him today — his relationship with his daughter is beyond repair. In the same interview, his wife Cindy warned their daughter against using her notoriety for fame on a reality TV show, as In Touch first reported was possibly in the works earlier this year. Cindy said, "Casey, be true to yourself, start being honest with yourself, and own everything. Quit putting the blame on everybody else."

Mexico hopes to strike gold once again
Mexico (pictured) trains on July 25, 2015, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, ahead of its CONCACAF Gold Cup final meeting with Jamaica. (Photo: Mexsport)
PHILADELPHIA -- Diego Reyes knows what it's like to have a gold medal wrapped around his neck.
He was awarded one at the 2012 Olympic Games following Mexico's 2-1 win over Brazil in the final.
The defender hopes to have that special feeling again during the award ceremonies Sunday night after the Tricolor takes on Jamaica for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup crown at Lincoln Financial Field.
"I'm very happy," Reyes said during a Saturday press conference. "It was the best thing to happen. It would be best to have this cup for Mexico. I believe that we really, really earned this because of all of the work and happiness that we have on this team. We will be able to celebrate this with Mexico and my family."
The winner will face 2013 Gold Cup champion United States in a special playoff in October for a spot in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.
"We're just concentrating on what we have to do," Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera said. "We want to get to the [playoff]."
Added Reyes: "We're very clear the team is going to have a great game tomorrow."
Herrera did not know whether the dos Santos brothers -- forward Giovani and midfielder Jonathan -- were healthy enough to play. They were to be tested at training.
"We're going to see if they're going to be 100 percent," Herrera commented. "Physically, the team is doing very well."
A greatly improved Jamaican side has posed problems for rivals throughout the competition with its speed on the counterattack and compact defense.
"We know they are a difficult team," remarked Herrera. "They have really upped their game quite a bit."
Herrera admitted the six-time champion did not play well in its 2-1 extra-time victory over Panama in Wednesday's semifinal.
"You know what? Forget what we did in the last game," he finished. "We did very well against Costa Rica and the next game we did really bad. We have spoken with the boys. We have to correct some errors. It's better to correct some errors when we're winning than when we're losing."

Two lists of disappeared persons were released separately, one by Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP), an NGO which works to document the cases of missing persons from the area and the other by the Provincial Interior Ministry of Balochistan. The missing people have allegedly been taken by Pakistani intelligence agencies for interrogation over their alleged link to Balochistan separatists and other militant groups in the country.
The Provincial Ministry issued a list of 992 persons on December 10, 2009 who were missing from different areas of Balochistan. Home ministry officials said the list was issued along with bio data provided by the government under the Aghaz…

If you were composing an ad for a new item, you would want to interact a message, to a details audience, why they ought to acquire the product. It is much the same when writing a resume, except you are the "product," and the target market is the person that needs somebody for a job. You will wish to express a message to this person, explaining why you must be employed for the job. Your resume is a marketing tool, just it is promoting you, as well as not an item.
Directing your resume towards a certain audience or viewers requires that the job you wish to pursue is distinct, and also not unclear or worthless. It's fantastic the number of individuals have a propensity of utilizing a great deal of big words, which state absolutely nothing. If you do this, your resume is assured to be thrown in the garbage.
If the viewers of your resume needs to shuffle through pages, and even paragraphs, simply to determine what you are looking for, you can guarantee you'll be seeking it in other places. Besides your name, this is the initial statement the employer will see, and if it states nothing, you will obtain absolutely nothing!
Let's say, for instance, a company has 2 various work offered. By not specifying your goals plainly, from the start, the employer won't also have the ability to figure out which work it is that you are making an application for. Beginning your resume with a clear goal, is the way in which you communicate, to a potential company, your goals.
Nonetheless, there is a bit extra to it than just specifying goals, (which some individuals don't also have or know) as you should specify as well as clear. An objective that makes use of a great deal of creative double talk could share that you don't have anything rewarding to claim, as well as trying to cover it up, utilizing brilliant lingo, or remarkable words, just implies you do not know what you desire, as well as you would possibly utilize these strategies on duty, also.
The means to show you have clear-cut objectives, and can project them without ambiguity is to begin the resume with your objective. The goal should be specific, not obscure, and also connect to the viewers what you can offer the table, not what you have actually done or desire on your own.
In reality, you have this one sentence or expression to convince the reader you deserve the job, and that she or he ought to proceeding reviewing your resume.
You can see below the message in the goal, almost imitates the words made use of in the job advertisement. If words 'contribute' was transformed to check out, … "where I can utilize my skills helping as well as functioning …" the entire significance adjustments. Making use of "add" informs the visitor what you will certainly do, "using my skills," has the implication of what you want.


David often talked to himself! No, not in the sense of being a little unbalanced, but when his spirit knew that his soul was struggling, he regularly spoke to his own soul. Here, he's asking himself a question. What's going on inside, what's happening with me?
We can all go through times when we can't easily make sense of how we're feeling on the inside or the effect difficult relationships may be having on us. There are many things that can trip us up and distress us on the inside. It's at times like this we need to keep on reminding ourselves of the reality of God's faithfulness in the midst of the fallen world in which we all live. We have an enemy of souls who desires to do with us all what he tried to do with Simon Peter - sift him and throw him off course!
David had proven God over many years – he knew that God was dependable and trustworthy. He will never have forgotten what God did when Goliath the Philistine challenged the men of Israel. And there were many times in battle when God showed him exactly what to do to avoid defeat by the enemies of God's people. Many times the Lord had shown him the way to go and what to do. Yes, God could be trusted – so, soul, even though you're feeling down at the moment and circumstances seem to be getting on top of you, lift up your chin, look firmly ahead knowing that however long or dark the valley you're in may be, God is still with you in it and you will yet praise Him.
There have been many times in my own walk with the Lord when I have been tempted to be depressed by the circumstances, and I have had to speak to my own soul – reminding myself of all that God has done in the past. He has been so utterly faithful! So, while your circumstances may currently be tough, remember that God hasn't changed! Hope in God for you will yet praise Him, your help and your God!
Prayer: I'm so grateful, Lord, for the memories of times when you have been so very present in my life. Help me Lord not to give in to inner feelings when circumstances are tough. I choose now to trust You Lord afresh – my help and my God. In Jesus's Name, Amen.


The prologue was very similar to the original, though it filled certain plot holes and explained key information left out of the original. The opening scenes and the famous song Belle showed different aspects of the characters from the original 1992 movie, and was the first introduction of Emma Watson's (slightly auto-tuned) singing. She was a charming, British Belle, and Emma Watson's dynamic as Belle worked well with the movie.
Other characters were fleshed out and made to be more interesting. Josh Gad, who played LeFou, brought personality and humor to the otherwise boring character, and created the first openlyy gay Disney character. Of course, that explained why the man was so obsessed with Gaston. Luke Evans in turn strengthened Gaston's attraction to Belle and friendship with LeFou. There was clever wordplay and funny writing scripted in for both Gaston and LeFou's characters, which were delivered brilliantly by their actors.
The characters in the Beast's castle are interesting as well. The objects that come to life had been created to be extremely elaborate and look a little more like things found in the household of a rich, arrogant prince. New mysterious twists were added to the prince's curse and the enchanted rose. Lumiere (Ewan McGregor), Cogsworth (Ian McKellen), Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson), and Chip (Nathan Mack) were all done in new ways but, like Gaston, LeFou, and Belle, retained all the important aspects. The Beast (Dan Stevens) was adapted to be both educated and humorous, and him and Belle strongly bonded over literature. A few new songs were added, including numbers Days in the Sun, Evermore, and How Does a Moment Last Forever. The story had skillful fights, romance, action, mystery, music, humor, and, above all, the underlying message: Don't judge a book by its cover.
To all fans of Disney, Emma Watson, or just movies with magic and adventure, this movie is for you.

Through the Eyes of a Child Teaches How to Help Troubled Youth
By Will Wodka |
Posted: Tue 8:58 PM, Oct 02, 2018
GERING, Neb. - (KNEP) - Those looking to help adolescent youth who are in the system create a better life for themselves got a chance to hear from the Through the Eyes of a Child initiative.
The initiative made a stop to Scotts Bluff County after going to Norfolk to allow others to learn about the resources and to find a way to help those in trouble.
Throughout the day, members of the community, CASA and other social service industry-based jobs heard from those who are working first hand with the youth. The idea was to allow them to see how to talk to them.
From a panel, various members talked about finding a common ground which included communication. It can be overwhelming for someone in the system but if you show they have a voice and can talk to you, it may come easier for them.
There are many areas where the system falls short and as one member of the panel states, the appellate court may take too long. Others voiced concerns about not having the funding in the school system to work with students on an individual basis.
Overall, the program helped those in attendance find a common ground with the troubled youth and work with them to find ways to increase their self-worth and turn their life around.
A panel member added it's about remaining active rather than re-active. Those in attendance all agreed that if you could start helping kids out at a younger age it could help greatly in their future.

The second episode of Coke Studio, Season 9, has left us feeling very worried. It appears as if the producers of the show are not quite sure of what they're doing. Or maybe are just too many cooks in this kitchen. But the fact that there are a number of composers this time is not the only point of concern; the question is whether they were the right candidates for the job.
The expectations from this were obviously high, considering no one can forget Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan or Abida Perveen's rendition of Man Kunto Maula. Therefore, we can understand that the song had a lot to compete with. However, this version of the manqabat qawwali left us feeling quite dissatisfied. The song isn't memorable at all. The rock fusion isn't working and Ali Azmat isn't able to save the song either. The only part that sounds alright is where Javed Bashir steps in for the chorus.
This Noori production sounds very haphazard and all over the place. It was a good idea to bring Haroon Shahid and QB together, but it didn't work out. It's a modern twist on the popular punjabi folk song, and towards the end QB takes the reins from Haroon in an attempt to save the song, but one can't sit through the whole ordeal to reach that part.
This is the song that has left everyone wondering what Coke Studio is up to this season. Of course, most people have enjoyed this version of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Afreen Afreen, and why wouldn't they: the song is a classic, composed by the brilliant Nusrat himself. But what did Faakhir even do with this song? It sounds like an acoustic version of the original. Anybody could have done this. We expect Coke Studio, with all of it's budgets and experience, to produce something better than something a college student with a guitar in his hand could have done. Also, people are buzzing about Momina Mustehsan and while we're happy that more (female) musicians are entering the industry, we don't understand the hype. Seriously, what?
The only saviour in this entire episode has been Meesha Shafi's 'Bholay Bhalay'. Meesha always ups the game with her fashion statements, choosing to go with an unprecedented glittery eye that makes her look like a really stylish android. But we love how she sang this song and the way she commands attention with such ease. The song sounds and looks really good! What's even more incredible is the fact that this song is an original, written by Sabir Zafar and composed by Shani Arshad.

New map of the universe reveals its history for the past six-billion years
Just thought this was a neat bit of information.
The scientists of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), including astronomers at Penn State, have produced a new map of the universe that is in full color, covers more than one quarter of the entire sky, and is full of so much detail that you would need five-hundred-thousand high-definition TVs to view it all. The map consists of more than one-trillion pixels measured by meticulously scanning the sky with a special-purpose telescope located in New Mexico. This week, at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Austin, Texas, the SDSS scientists announced results of four separate studies of this new map that, taken together, provide a history of the universe over the last six-billion years.
Earthly machine recreates star's sizzling-hot surface
That's just incredible.
Since we can't go to the stars yet, let's bring the stars to us. In a giant X-ray-producing facility, astronomers and plasma physicists have heated a cigar-sized sample of gas to over 17,000 degrees Fahrenheit in order to replicate the surface of stars called white dwarfs.
Loss of planetary tilt could doom alien life
That earthquake a few Decembers back actually changed the tilt of Earth. Big earthquakes often do, so not only is this a threat to life on other planets, but on our own.
Although winter now grips much of the Northern Hemisphere, those who dislike the cold weather can rest assured that warmer months shall return. This familiar pattern of spring, summer, fall and winter does more than merely provide variety, however. The fact that life can exist at all on Earth is closely tied to seasonality, which is a sign of global temperature moderation.
The Milky Way contains at least 100 billion planets according to survey
Oh wait, what was it they said just a few decades ago... oh right, that only our system had planets. Idiots.
Our Milky Way galaxy contains a minimum of 100 billion planets according to a detailed statistical study based on the detection of three extrasolar planets by an observational technique called microlensing.
New class of planetary systems: Astronomers find two new planets orbiting double suns
Star Wars. *snicker*
Kepler-35 planet system, in which a Saturn-size planet orbits a pair of stars. The larger star is similar to the size of the Sun, while the smaller star is 79 percent of the Sun's radius. The stars orbit and eclipse each other every 21 days, but the eclipses do not occur exactly periodically. This variation in the times of the eclipses motivated the search for the planet, which was discovered to transit the stars as it orbits the pair every 131 days. Analogous events led to the discovery of the planet Kepler-34. The discovery of these two new systems establishes a new class of 'circumbinary' planets, and suggests there are many millions of such giant planets in our Galaxy. Using data from NASA's Kepler Mission, astronomers announced the discovery of two new transiting "circumbinary" planet systems -- planets that orbit two stars. This work establishes that such "two sun" planets are not rare exceptions, but are in fact common with many millions existing in our Galaxy. The work is published today in the journal Nature and presented at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin, TX.
Spacecraft completes biggest maneuver
As I've said before I can't wait for this mission to arrive at Mars!

China, India to jump forward with Hawaii telescope
It'll be awesome to have a 30 meter optical telescope!!!
China and India are catapulting to the forefront of astronomy research with their decision to join as partners in a Hawaii telescope that will be the world's largest when it's built later this decade.
Hubble zooms in on double nucleus in Andromeda galaxy
Here is the pretty picture of the week.
A new Hubble Space Telescope image centers on the 100-million-solar-mass black hole at the hub of the neighboring spiral galaxy M31, or the Andromeda galaxy, the only galaxy outside the Milky Way visible to the naked eye and the only other giant galaxy in the local group.
Scientists gear up to take a picture of a black hole
Awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!
On Wednesday, Jan. 18, astronomers, physicists and scientists from related fields will convene in Tucson, Ariz. from across the world to discuss an endeavor that only a few years ago would have been regarded as nothing less than outrageous. The conference is organized by Dimitrios Psaltis, an associate professor of astrophysics at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory, and Daniel Marrone, an assistant professor of astronomy at Steward Observatory.

Is the Contemporary Aid Effective Enough to Transform Uganda's Health System to Achieve UHC?
Over the last sixty-two years, Africa land mass has received an enormous share of foreign aid of over one-trillion US-Dollars (USD). This has intently been given to fight absolute poverty, hunger, and disease, humanitarian causes such as addressing internal conflicts, child labor and human trafficking to lessen the contemporary cross-Atlantic slave trade, and debt reliefs through the multi-lateral debt relief initiatives to expand the fiscal spaces of the resource poor countries especially in the sub-Saharan Africa, the world's poorest region. Uganda in a particular has been in position to improve its health through Development Assistance for Health (DAH) for activities within health sector such as population programmes and Health Development Aid (HDA) from external resources in form of financial or in-kind aid that is directed to fund health-allied activities such as water and sanitation programmes (F, 2016). But, the disease burden continues to thrive in Uganda despite of all the multi-million dollar donations from external assistance for health.
The paper scrutinizes the changes, the form, and the applicability of external financing for health to Uganda and evaluates the level of influence of new alternatives available for health sector development. Aid has been contracted significantly for health sector projects' support and enhancing national budget expenditures towards health to expand our fiscal space and attain the Sustainable Development Goals' agenda…. which are supposed to guide countries to improve their health and development at large, to leave no one behind. But grants and loans given to accelerate health accessibility and poverty reduction programs have shown low propensity in health sector improvement. Case in line, Mulago Specialized Women and Neonatal Health Hospital in Uganda was renovated partly through the support of the donor's aid to improve reproductive and maternal health services, but it has continued to set exorbitant fees for patients to access health thus expanding the inequality gap in accessing health in impoverished communities, and worsening the public decry, according to a report by (Atwine, 2018). Over eras-of-time, health has been renowned to be a significant component for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and economic development as a populace in good health can raise the productivity and efficiency of the State's labor force while plummeting poverty. Therefore it is imperative to view access to good adequate health as a fundamental basic human right enshrined in the international covenant on social economic and cultural rights, a fulfillment and global commitment for both developed and countries in low-levels of economic transition.
Uganda needs approximately USD 15 billion to achieve affordable, acceptable and accessible health for all Ugandans through well planned holistic pre-payment mechanisms such as the National Health Insurance Scheme and Uganda National Minimum Health Care Package in our health system that can cover all citizens in their diverse income stratas. This comes at the time when donor environment over time has reformed the mechanisms through which they fund programmes. In Uganda, Structural Adjustment Programmes and State Wide Approaches were widely applied in many sectors like health and education (which were centralized systems of funding that circled macroeconomic policies in their operations such as retrenchment policies, liberalization and privatization drives to make state governments more efficient), to now project based form of funding which has been incorporated in projects like Global Financing Facility of the World Bank group and European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF). All these models have been designed by the donor communities and the recipient state governments to improve health systems and infrastructure developments in the resource limited settings like Uganda, but the inequality gap in health accessibility does not correlate with the amount of aid pumped into the countries' health sectors and other health-related activities to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The state is nevertheless the chief actor in the strengthening of the development assistance for health processes to maximize the health outcomes. Therefore the link between donors and state's health sector should be purely interpreted as a cordial relationship formed to increase free-of-cost health service provision, through establishment of a strong health infrastructural system and well streamlined strategy for the proper utilization of development aid assistance.
Uganda has applied a queue of health development strategies and policies such as the Health Sector Development Plans and so many others to improve health with more than 45% dependence on aid from donors, foundations, philanthropists, and non-government organizations (Health, 2014/15 & 2015/16). The state of poor health system in Uganda and other countries in the East African bloc amidst the increasing donor funding is attributed to a multiplicity of factors. Research shows the contemporary aid given in most of times is largely shrouded with donor interests. Further, it is being taken as a conduit for expansion of influence and conglomerates of the multinational private companies especially the pharmaceutical corporations; this is because many of these leverage on the partnerships they have with the global financing trust funds through contract provision of certain services such as, infrastructure development, medicines and technologies. They eventually price their services or health products so highly thereby enlarging the health accessibility disparity in the vulnerable communities, which is contrary to the principles of public health. Unendurable conditionalities are part of the mix in the aid construct which in most cases are hard to meet to yield the desired results. For instance, the Global Financing Facility (GFF´s) Results-Based Financing (RBF) model in its monitoring framework which focuses on specific indicators to determine fund disbursement at health facility and district level has been encircled with many inadequacies in Uganda. The approach is meant to increase the motivation of healthcare workers and the financial autonomy of healthcare facilities, in order to improve performance of health systems and ultimately improve the health outcomes. However, emerging evidence of this financing approach reveals an irregular performance record. In adding, the broad implementation of RBF across a feeble or unprepared health care system raises many concerns. Experience shows that health facilities with existing poor performance levels will simply not succeed in creating a sufficient inflow of funds through RBF mechanism. Struggling health centres failing to reach RBF targets risk penalization through aid-cuts for failure to meet the set targets as part of the conditionalities in this funding modality, thereby demoralizing health workers and creating greater inequity as these health centres and the populations they serve are left behind, (Paul E, 2018).
Apparently, NGOs and the third-sector which are essentially the second engine of the health sector functioning in Uganda have a remarkable role to play as their sovereignty and self-sufficiency raises above the state's; this is reflected through the variance in support towards the health sector by the government and the donor community. Uganda has experienced so many periods of incapacity to meet the required global financing commitments to health to provide its primary health care services to the society, which has prompted the donors (internally and externally) and lenders of all sorts to intervene through credits, grants, aid and others. Aid given to economies in transition such as those in the great-lakes region of Africa, is majorly destined to assist these states to undertake and complete their health and development projects. These aids usually come from the ex-colonial monopole and partnership financing initiatives to fortify bilateral-ties and advance donor interests. In sub-Saharan Africa, foreign aid now comes in numerous forms but the most common one is through partnership trust funds like Global fund, Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI); International Monetary Fund (IMF) through World Bank Group, European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Africa, and Global Financing Facility of the World Bank Group. These support projects that involve investment in health (such as advancing Primary Health Care, health infrastructure development and health system upgrade: case in line Uganda upgraded health centres in 2018 in different levels to revive its referral system), technical assistance of the various projects, budget support, debt reliefs through multilateral debt relief initiatives; not to mention investing in people to harness better social welfare provision and improve our Human Development Index, bio-diversity protection and climate change, support to non-state institutions involved in the human development and humanitarian causes, food security, migration problems, and so on. However, due to the dynamics in the contemporary aid, a lot of inadequacies surround aid given. There is always a lacuna in its effectiveness, delays and postponements in execution of projects due to aid's volatility and unpredictability.
Currently, most of the aid financing modalities intends to leverage on lending. For instance, the Global Financing Facility project on Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH+N), being implemented in Uganda and other sub-Saharan Africa states, links its grant money to World Bank lending. At the onset, an average of USD $1 of a GFF grant was matched with USD $4 of a World Bank loan. Three-years ahead, this fraction has almost doubled, ascending to USD $1: USD $7. With several GFF eligible and qualified countries already worryingly and severely indebted, additional increases in nation's indebtedness are troubling. In the long-term, such heavy dependence on credit risks forming untenable loan repayment burdens. If the countries prioritize the servicing of these debts, this may force governments into resolutions to cut their spending in other areas, such as indispensable essential social services. Ultimately, this undermines or weakens health systems.
To care about our health system, a model shift is required to be drawn for the coverage and effectiveness of aid in Uganda to yield more productive results. Therefore close monitoring of aid especially in form of credit both short- and long-term effects is crucial. In countries such as Uganda where the risks of debt increases are deemed high, aid structures need to be revised and implement measures to protect the delivery of essential health services for the long-term. Establishment of strong robust evaluation mechanisms, and adaptation of design and implementation modalities is required. This can be backed by continuing a thorough and transparent review of health and equity outcome data under performance-centric schemes on aid effectiveness.

Q: image crashing form on Xamarin Forms iOS project I have an iOS project with a PCL project in Xamarin Forms.
For this question I have ContentPages "Page1" and "Page2".
I am handling images, specifically a logo that is a png file. I have several pages that display the logo, including Page1 and Page2.
I am binding the url to the image in the xaml code-behind cs file like this:
string imgUrl = "http://my url/upload/mobile/LOGO_GRAY.png";
logoImage.Source = ImageSource.FromUri(new Uri(imgUrl));

On Page1, the image loads and display as I would expect it to look.
On Page2, where the same image logo is bound in the exact same way in the code-behind, that page immediately crashes the app. If I remove the image from Page2, it loads just fine.
From Page1 to Page2 this is my navigation code in my ViewModel:
await Application.Current.MainPage.Navigation.PushAsync(new LoginEntryPage());

I need help trying to figure out why one page displays the image fine where the other page crashes when the image is displayed.
Previously I was loading the images from a resource folder in the iOS project but it seems like Page2 had a memory leak causing the crash. I switched to images via Url hoping that it would be "lighter" and not cause memory issues.
Thanks

Valerie Keller on the meaning of Purpose in today's world.
The global business environment is under dramatic disruption. Today more than ever, companies are searching for a new genetic code that will help them continuously evolve—to survive and to thrive. This new normal has inspired a great searching of the corporate soul. And it has firmly established a new idea — and new ideal — of the successful 21st century business.
I have seen through research and work with top CEOs that there is a new leading edge: Companies able to harness the power of purpose to drive performance and profitability enjoy a distinct competitive advantage.
In other words, meaning matters. And not just in an abstract sense, but in terms of today's business metrics. Companies who clearly articulate their purpose enjoy higher growth rates and higher levels of success in transformation and innovation initiatives.
Why? Purposeful, human-centric organizations are playing a bigger game. They stand out by standing for something greater than themselves; transcending paradoxes of shareholder v. stakeholder, efficiency v. experiences, profits v. purpose.
Today's leading companies also know that focusing on the well-being of their employees is a key part of the purpose of a 21st century business. The technological transformation – that 'Fourth Industrial Revolution' articulated by Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum — has put a new focus on humans. As Andrew McAfee vividly illustrates in Machine, Platform, Crowd, the interface between machines and humans – the future of work – is dramatically uncertain and radically transformational. Initiatives like the B Team's 100% Human at Work are defining the elements that make organizations human, convening companies and advancing research defining the innovative steps to transform work and the workplace.
As we look ahead to humanity's next chapter, we know that purpose is key to success at every level of an organization…from entry-level positions and middle management to the C-suite and the board…and from Mumbai to Miami to Marrakech.
In this era in which the companies that thrive are, for the most part, those adept at relentless, ongoing transformation, having a strong sense of shared purpose turns out to be a key comparative advantage. Research consistently shows that people who feel they have purpose at work are 1.4 times more engaged, 1.7 times more satisfied and three times more likely to stay at that organization.
I am delighted to team up with Arianna Huffington's Thrive Global, a leader in health and well-being, in launching a new section focused on what purpose means in today's world. We invite you to join us in this conversation by sharing stories on how you live and thrive with purpose. Be part of the movement of those on the leading edge of transforming the working world.


A Crazy Busy Week!!! | Sewing Adventures…..
Can't wait to hear about day 2. It is an amazing place. Glad you enjoyed it.

Niall MacMahon was in various obscure outfits with names like Spike, Niall-on & the Shocking Stockings, Gott, The Maidavaleables and Brute Force & The Ignorance.
Shocking Stockings (originally Niall-on & the Shocking Stockings) were a post-punk new-wave band with an ironic repertoire of pastiches that ran from Reggae through Funk and Disco to Rock, with humorous political and/or social commentary lyrics. They released a single on Carrere Records and recorded an LP titled 'Nylon' which was never released (details taken from Hot Press vol.4 nr.2, June 1980).
Niall released a solo album in 1988. Folk Roots described it thusly: "He starts off by plundering Ennio Morricone, dips boldly into the eccentric world or reggae folk hero Lee Perry, mercilessly satirises the British ruling class, and winds up with a veritable masterpuece of bitter-sweetness about Ireland and the lot of the emigré. Fashionably enough it sounds like a demo (which is occasionally a bit of a shame, especially when you have a song as realistic and movingly unromantic as Don't Ever Take Me Back Across To Ireland). Plenty of people are doing this now, but this is cheerfully random enough not to sound contrived or self-conscious. The opening track, El Sid's, for example, isn't as funny as you initially imagine it, but is about football hooliganism draped in the arrangement of a tacky spaghetti western. Then again, Like An Alien has him sounding like a dead ringer for Warren Zevon."-- Folk Roots Magazine, August 1988.

Homicide and Major Enquiry Team
'I cannot believe this has happened'
A TEENAGER found murdered in Huddersfield has been named by police.
Andrew Hirst
Updated 02:10, 13 JUL 2013
The body of 18-year-old Robert Broadbent was found in the corner of the Fitness First car park next to the Huddersfield Rugby Union Football Club's bowling green in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Police say he lived in Lepton.
Detectives from the Homicide And Major Enquiry Team were continuing to question a man in connection with Robert's death.
Police have now revised his age from 38 to 39 and he was still being held at West Yorkshire police station today.
Meanwhile, a white tent was covering the spot where Robert was found at the Lockwood Park complex.
Part of the Fitness First car park remained taped off all yesterday.
No-one was allowed into the woods surrounding the pond off Waterside.
The woods are badly overgrown and three anglers' tents could be seen close to the water.
Three rods were still in static position outside two green tents and covered in droplets from the drizzle. It looked like they had been there a couple of days.
A lone policewoman stood guard on the road in front of the tents.
A third blue tent was around 30ft away next to Holme Valley Sports Injury Clinic with clothes hanging up on a line strung in the trees. A tall bag resembling a golf club bag was propped up against the tree.
Police could be seen searching in the far side of the woods.
The large pond – an old mill dam – is thought to have been owned by Park Valley Mills further on Meltham Road.
A couple of moving tributes to the murdered teenager were left at the entrance to the Lockwood sports complex.
One written by a friend called Dave said: "I can't believe this has happened to someone so close to me.
"We were like best mates. It was only Saturday when we were planning our future. You were always so full of life, but just to be taken like this ... You will always be remembered. Never forgotten.''
Another from his cousin, Sam, added: "I love you loads. You will be missed so, so much. Always thinking about you. Loads of love, Sam.''
The entire Lockwood Park complex was sealed off all day on Sunday with police guarding the two main entrances off Bridge Street in Lockwood and Meltham Road along with other officers making sure no-one else could walk into the scene through footpaths and alleyways.
It caused major problems at Huddersfield Rugby Union Football Club.
President Alan Ibberson said: "The police had sealed off the entire perimeter of the 26-acre site which caused us massive disruption.
"All the mini junior games had to be cancelled which meant dozens of players and their parents had to be turned away.
"There was also supposed to be a hockey tournament in the afternoon, but that also had to be cancelled.''
Mr Bohdan Santar, chairman of the mini juniors, said: "Not all the teams were due to play at home, but we had to cancel games for the under 17s and under 19s and training sessions for three age groups including the under sevens.''
But the main losers were Huddersfield University Old Boys who had organised a match in memory of a former player killed in a road tragedy two years ago – ironically very close to the sports ground.
The game would have been in memory of 27-year-old Alex Prosser who died in a motorcycle accident on Meltham Road in Lockwood. The tragedy happened in September 2005 as Alex – who had travelled widely around the world – was riding to work on a farm at Holme Moss.
A graduate of the University of Huddersfield and a life-member of the students' union, Alex played rugby union for the university and for Huddersfield RUFC.
It was through his connections with friends he made at the university and at Lockwood Park that the match was due to be staged.
Originally from Stockport, Alex played with the university's first team while studying for a degree in modern history between 1996 and 1999.
After the games on Sunday there was supposed to have been a barbecue for up to 250 people.

Those colorful, expensive bottles of juice goodness look healthy. But are the detox diets they promote good for you?
Like most things related to diet & nutrition… it depends.
In this article we'll cover what science says about detoxing and whether or not these cleanses may are good for losing weight (But don't get me wrong… there's nothing wrong with slamming down some green juice for health)!
Like other health buzzwords such as "eating clean" and "going green", "detox" has no universal definition.
That's partly because like nutrition… there's a heavy emphasis on belief systems rather than scientific facts. In other words, "nutritional detoxing" is usually based on what someone thinks rather than what is.
We've seen throughout history that in the absence of science, people are usually left with confusion, superstition, and myth (plus charlatans ready and willing to take their money).
And some simply promote fasting.
Of course, the imagined purpose of these interventions is to purge would-be toxins (dirty, yucky, poisonous chemicals) from our bodies. And yes… there are many, many toxins and/or compounds in our enviroment (including food) that are harmful to our body.
But again… What toxin specifically are you trying to detox from?
By definition, toxins are small molecules, peptides, or proteins capable of causing disease on contact with (or absorption by) body tissues.
The science is pretty clear on how to detox from certain substances. But depending on what you're trying to detox, not one particular diet will do it. There are very specific steps to getting toxins unbound from your tissues, binding them to inert agents that can then be expelled by the body via respiration, sweat, urine or stool.
Since WW2, over 85,000 chemicals have been introduced into our lives. Out of those 85,000 approximately 2500 have been tested.
The truth is, we can't avoid toxins so it actually makes sense to do some sort of detox. I personally try to give my body a break from toxic exposure every 3-4 months. But it's also important to remember that our bodies have very robust detoxification systems.
These systems break down chemicals (toxic or otherwise) into other forms we can eliminate via the toilet, sweat, or breathing.
And the body seems to do a pretty good job of this when placed in a balanced (i.e. healthy) environment.
If our body detoxes itself, why go through the trouble of detoxing?
While it's true that your body detoxes by itself; it's also true that your body wasn't designed to be continuously exposed to the amounts of toxins in modern society and industrial civilizations.
You see… all these factors lead to higher levels of toxins in the body, a weakened ability to excrete them and thus… a higher risk of disease.
So the theory behind a detox diet is that, by giving the body a break… one can atone for lifestyle sins and purge all the nasty chemicals from the body. It's a sort of health reboot.
The best way to "detox" the body is to ramp up your natural detoxification systems and to take good care of them in the long term — not to bypass them altogether, as you do when you're on a detox diet.
Does ridding yourself of impurities facilitate fat loss? Nope.
The reason folks lose a remarkable amount of weight — quickly — on most detox regimens is because they're "empty".
They quickly lose body water, carbohydrate stores, and intestinal bulk. It's gone during the "cleanse". But all of it comes back a few hours after the detox ends. Because you can't stay empty forever.
Interestingly, these folks lose very little fat — unless their cleanse includes fasting for really extended periods (which, if not done carefully, can be dangerous and throws your metabolism into shambles).
In the end, while it feels like a detox is helping shape up your body, it's a sad illusion. You're not losing anything that won't come right back within hours after the end of the diet. And you're putting your health at risk to support the illusion.
If weight loss is your goal, there are smarter (and more permanent) ways to do it. Ones that are both healthy and sustainable.
Detoxing can be very effective at helping to improve your health.
Detoxing can be great when you're specific about what you're trying to detox from. But detoxing to lose weight is simply not the right approach.
1. Eat reasonable amounts of nutrients. If you're eating too much, you're probably accumulating more toxins than your body needs. Eating one cookie instead of six is a detox diet. Slow down and chew your food. We all have "anatomical juicers" – they're commonly known as teeth and stomachs. Use them as they're meant to be used.
2. Eat plenty of plant foods, and choose organic options when possible. Veggies and fruits contain compounds that can help the body deal with all of the incoming chemicals. Organically raised plants and livestock are generally lower in the types of things you don't want, such as pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, etc.
3. Stay lean. Certain fat-soluble compounds can accumulate in body fat. Less body fat = less real estate for potentially problematic chemicals.
4. Drink enough fluids, including water and tea. And use a water filter. The kidneys are major organs of elimination for fluids.
But don't overdo it: Fluid intake needs to balance our bodies' electrolytes. Generally you can avoid overhydration by not drinking more than one liter of fluid per hour.
5. Allow a little extra time between dinner and breakfast. During brief periods of fasting (such as overnight), our bodies clear out cellular debris. If you finished eating dinner at 7pm, maybe you could eat breakfast at 7am. This gives the body a 12-hour break from food for every 24-hour cycle.
This might also improve your sleep, which is another critical factor in allowing your body to appropriately recover.
6. Get outside in the sun and fresh air each day. Not only do we synthesize vitamin D from the sun, but we can breathe fresh air nto our lungs and hear the sounds of nature. Good ol' Mother Nature.
7. Exercise regularly. Getting your blood flowing will help circulate good stuff where it needs to be, and clear out waste products more effectively.
8. Limit unnecessary dietary supplements. Supplements don't automatically equal health. And some might just be another burden for the body. Make sure each supplement in your cabinet serves a purpose. I generally only recommend a good whole food multivitamin, fish oil, probiotics and vitamin D3+K2.
10. Check your cosmetics. Our skin is our largest organ; each day we lather hundreds of chemicals into it. These then enter our blood and circulate throughout the body. If you want to burden your body with fewer chemicals, check your body products.

Electric vehicle owners — nearly 1.2 million of them on U.S. roads today — share the thrills of being energy-efficient and progressive. But they also have one big worry in common: where to plug in. Depending on the state, access to public charging stations can be adequate — or nearly nonexistent.
There are no adapters to let other cars charge at superchargers. While they could be technically possible, Tesla built its supercharger networks out big and quickly at great cost so that Teslas would be the only cars able to take practical road trips — and it works, and contributes to Tesla's sales.
If electricity costs $0.13 per kWh and the vehicle consumes 33 kWh to travel 100 miles, the cost per mile is about $0.04. If electricity costs $0.13 per kilowatt-hour, charging an EV with a 200-mile range (assuming a fully depleted 66 kWh battery) will cost about $9 to reach a full charge.

The study builds on the council's earlier report, released in January, that estimates a need for 82,000 more charging stations at workplaces, 103,000 public stations of 208-volt to 240-volt (Level 2) chargers and 10,000 direct current fast charging stations by 2025 to meet anticipated electric vehicle growth in those …
Public Charging Costs
Many people charge their electric car at public charging stations. They can be free, pay-as-you-go or subscription-based, with prices set by networks or property owners.
Tesla uses a proprietary charge port that's different from any other car manufacturer, so the Superchargers are only designed for it. … So no Audi e-tron customers can charge up with Tesla customers.
For most of us, a few times a year. That's when you'd want a rapid charge of under 45 minutes or so. The rest of the time, slow charging is just fine. It turns out most electric-car drivers don't even bother to plug in every night, or necessarily to fully charge.1 мая 2019 г.
All mass-produced electric vehicles today include a charging unit which you are able to plug into any standard 110v outlet. This unit makes it possible to charge your EV from regular household outlets. The downside of EV charging with a 110v outlet is that it takes a while.
Most electric-car owners charge at home, and so you'll need to know what it costs to charge there. The cost of electricity is much more stable than the cost of gasoline, but it varies tremendously in the U.S. The residential average per kilowatt-hour currently ranges from 9.3 cents in Louisiana to 28.9 cents in Hawaii.
IT IS INTERESTING: How long will an electric car battery last?
However, the current prediction is that an electric car battery will last from 10 – 20 years before they need to be replaced.
The Los Angeles Department of Water & Power and Southern California Edison, on the other hand, offers rebates to spur private construction of charging stations owned by others. While its ratepayers cover the costs of that program, the ultimate owners of those stations pay for installation and operation.
The average cost of a fully installed level 3 EV charging station is around $50,000. This is because the equipment costs are significantly higher plus they require the utility company installing a transformer. Level 3 EV charging stations refer to DC Fast Charging, which offer the fastest charging speeds.
So recharging an electric vehicle can take between 50 hours to as little as 10 minutes, but those are both extreme examples.
The cost of a single port EVSE unit ranges from $300-$1,500 for Level 1, $400-$6,500 for Level 2, and $10,000-$40,000 for DC fast charging. Installation costs vary greatly from site to site with a ballpark cost range of $0-$3,000 for Level 1, $600- $12,700 for Level 2, and $4,000-$51,000 for DC fast charging.
The cost for using electric vehicle charging stations is 12 cents per kWh — the national average.

Q: Signing by java and openssl does not match Please, what am I doing bad that the result of the following java and bash does not match?
Here is the similar topic. I was able to easily write the java (which is actually discussed there), but nobody was concerned about the results. To me, simply, both results are different.
Here is a part of java I use (pem file is without password):
Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());
PEMParser pemParser = new PEMParser(new BufferedReader(new FileReader(pemPath)));
Object object = pemParser.readObject();

JcaPEMKeyConverter converter = new JcaPEMKeyConverter();
KeyPair kp = converter.getKeyPair((PEMKeyPair) object);
PrivateKey privateKey = kp.getPrivate();

Signature sig = Signature.getInstance("RSA");
sig.initSign(privateKey);
sig.update(stringToSign.getBytes());

byte[] bytes = sig.sign();
return new String(Base64.encode(bytes)); //+ close pemParser

Bash code is:
printf $(printf "${string_to_sign}" | openssl rsautl -sign -inkey "${pem_path}" | openssl enc -base64 | awk '{printf "%s", $0}' )

A: Maybe too late but if i read http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/rsautl.html

rsautl because it uses the RSA algorithm directly can only be used to sign or verify small pieces of data.

So it does a raw signature without a digest so I think you should use NONEwithRSA (see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html)

Q: is rgb values equals to cmyk percentage? is rgb numeric values equals to cmyk percentage?
for detail :
i have some rgb values for example r-212 g-231 b-211 and in Photoshop its showing cmyk as 40% 34% 80% 0%.i want to know can we get the same rgb values by giving cmyk percentage? because i have to use rgb in percentage in some particular application but i am not getting it with the help of photoshop...Please help in short tell me,
 is it possible to get rgb values in percentage with the help of photoshop?

A: your question isn't realy clear, but: no, rgb and cmyk are not the same, take a look at this picture to see the different color space they can represent (and, obviously, rgb consists of 3 values, cmyk consists of 4):

A: You can approximate a conversion between the RGB and CMYK color spaces, but it's not going to be completely accurate or bidirectional. There are numerous differences between the two color spaces that become relevant here, including their respective gamuts (see the diagram in oezi's answer), the additive vs. subtractive models, and the presence of black (key) in the CMYK space.
If you're merely interested in a simple way to convert a color from its RGB to CMYK representation, you can use the following code (arbitrarily in C#; feel free to convert to the language of your choice):
public CmykColor RgbToCmyk(int R, int G, int B)
{
    if ((R < 0) || (R > 255) || (G < 0) || (G > 255) || (B < 0) || (B > 255)) {
        throw new ArgumentException("RGB values must be in the range of 0 to 255");
    }

    if ((R == 0) && (G == 0) && (B == 0)) {
        return new CmykColor(0, 0, 0, 1);
    } else {
        double calcR = 1 - (R / 255);
        double calcG = 1 - (G / 255);
        double calcB = 1 - (B / 255);

        double K = Math.Min(calcR, Math.Min(calcG, calcB));
        double C = (calcR - K) / (1 - K);
        double M = (calcG - K) / (1 - K);
        double Y = (calcB - K) / (1 - K);

        return new CmykColor(Convert.ToInt32(C), Convert.ToInt32(M), Convert.ToInt32(Y), Convert.ToInt32(K));
    }
}

But you'll have to decide if this simple approximation will produce results that are "close enough" for your needs. The most important thing to realize is that a true conversion is entirely dependent upon the physical device/process and requires accurately calibrated color profiles for each of your devices (the monitor displaying the RGB, the printer printing the CMYK, and the substrate receiving the CMYK).
This helps to explain why the above algorithm (or any other that you might implement on your own) is never going to match the results returned by Photoshop, which uses color profiles and some additional proprietary algorithms to handle its conversion. If this degree of accuracy is truly important, you could consider using something like the Windows Color Management APIs to handle the conversion for you, which will automatically apply the current color profile, but you'll likely find that those results don't exactly match Photoshop's either.
The bottom line is that color is subjective. As I mentioned in the beginning, even if you overcome the accuracy hurdle, you will still not have a conversion process that is bidirectional. Even in Photoshop, you can't convert an image from RGB to CMYK and then back again without losing or altering some of the color information.

EDIT: You mention a couple of times in your comments that you just want "RGB values in percentage." I assume that this means CMYK percentages, but I suppose that it's worth pointing out if you just want to convert the standard 0-255 values for RGB components to an RGB percentage, you can just divide each value by 255 (the max), and then multiply by 100. So, for example:

Red =          RGB(255, 0, 0) = 100% Red, 0% Green, 0% Blue
DarkSeaGreen = RGB(143, 188, 143) = 56% Red, 74% Green, 56% Blue

A: Not entirely. The formula is a little more complex than that, since CMYK has more components than RGB.


Therefore, rejoice! | Blooming Joy!
Whenever I see that word "therefore," I pause for a moment. It comes from several classes and Bible studies where that word was highlighted. I actually double-majored in English and theology in college, and that word is one that gets highlighted whether one is reading scripture or essays or poetry. Why? It is a word that refers back to something previous. Whenever you start reading with the word "therefore," you know you aren't at the beginning of a passage. Two of the biggest "therefores" in Scripture are found in Romans 12:1 and Hebrews 12:1.
In the first passage from Romans, the reference is to everything written in the book before – all eleven chapters that talk about the grace of God being a free gift. In Hebrews, we can look to the previous "by faith" chapter 11, where the writer, inspired by God, lists all of the heroes of old who lived by faith.
So here we are in the Psalms, stumbling onto a "therefore" with a couple of joy verses. In this case, the best bet is to examine the rest of the Psalm. Go ahead, click over and read it. I'll wait.
Mostly, it's about God's protection, isn't it? Because God is watching over us, we can rejoice. We can celebrate. We know we are safe in His hands.
