Gordon Sparling*
Honorary degree citation - Gordon Sparling*
By: Thomas Waugh, June 1989
Mr. Chancellor, I have the honour to present to you Gordon Sparling, a distinguished founding father of the Canadian cinema.
Gordon Sparling was born in August 1900 in Toronto. A graduate of the University of Toronto, where he was involved with amateur dramatics, he directed his first film for the Ontario Motion Picture Bureau in 1924, 65 years ago this year. In 1927 he went on to be assistant director on the silent epic CARRY ON SERGEANT, one of the milestones in the history of the Canadian feature film. After a brief apprenticeship at Astoria Studios, Long Island, he joined Associated Screen News, Montreal.
Here, directing sponsored and short theatrical films, he inaugurated a decisive chapter in Canadian film history. Most famous among his works is the Canadian Cameo series of theatrical shorts which was launched in 1932 and subsequently ran for more than twenty years on screens throughout North America and Europe. From this series, such films as GREY OWL'S LITTLE BROTHER and RHAPSODY IN TWO LANGUAGES have become Canadian classics. Sparling's additional accomplishment was to direct in his Montreal studio on Northcliffe Avenue the first sound film to be made in Canada, briefly establishing the Canadian cinema at the forefront of technological development.
From 1939 to 1945 Gordon Sparling used his expertise to serve our war effort, acting as London chief of Canadian Army Film and Photo Unit and producing over 100 issues of the Canadian Army Newsreel. In 1946 he resumed work with Associated, and from 1957 until his 1966 retirement directed at National Film Board of Canada.
In this special anniversary year for Canadian film, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the National Film Board and the 25th anniversary of the Cinémathèque québécoise, it is fitting to honour one of our cinema's earliest and most successful pioneers. Director of over 200 films in both the public and private sectors during his forty year career, Sparling will always be remembered as one of the most important and daring innovators of the theatrical film industry here in Montreal at a time when Canadian screens were already dominated, as they are today, by foreign films. He may not have fully succeeded in moving Hollywood to N.D.G., but what he has done is arguably more significant: providing us with a vivid cinematic heritage, the first images we saw of ourselves as a nation in the movies.
Mr. Chancellor, it is a privilege to present to you, on behalf of the Senate and by the authority of the Board of Governors, Gordon Sparling, so that you may confer on him the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

Ice climbing has enjoyed a surge in popularity over the last few years and at SMC we are lucky to have ideal locations to learn and practices the skills of this fun activity in our own backyard.
Ice is a scarce commodity in sunny California but the two places that stand out are June Lake and Lee Vining, on the east side of the Sierra Nevada, near Mammoth Lakes.
June Lake is the ideal location to start learning ice climbing and as often as not we end up spending both days of the course here. A brisk uphill walk leads to the ice and this can take as long as an hour depending on snow conditions. The ice at this training area is up to a rope length high and up to eighty degrees in steepness, with steeper bulges, giving a perfect location to work on the basic movement skills.
After a day at June Lake our progression continues onto the steeper ice, working on skills necessary to succeed on the steep stuff, as well as anchoring and other aspects of ice climbing.
Sierra Mountain Center offers scheduled courses all winter and can also schedule a private course that fits your schedule; simply call and ask if your dates are available. We try to offer both weekend and weekday programs and suggest that you try the weekday ones if your schedule permits, since the ice is popular and can be crowded.
This is our video description of what it is like to go Ice Climbing at June Lake with SMC.
Here are some of the instruction techniques we cover during the course.
We do not include accommodation in the pricing but we suggest the Lee Vining motels below.
We rent ice boots but have limited size runs so reserve them early on.
Participants should be in good physical condition. Prior rock climbing experience will enhance your enjoyment of this course. At a minimum you should know how to tie into a rope and be familiar with belaying. If you are not familiar with these then spend an hour or two at a local gym to get up to speed.
Price includes guiding, permits, group climbing gear, ice tools and crampons, helmets and snowshoes (if necessary).
Local accommodation is not included in the program. Please let us know if you need assistance making reservations.
Technical ice from lower angle to vertical.

A: I believe the issue is:

*

*Python requires the function to initialise a C module initialisation to be called init<module_name> (where you substitute your module name). (Python 3 uses a slightly different form).

*You've called your module proc.

*Cython has thus created a function called initproc to be defined when your module is imported.

*Python defines a typedef called initproc internally, which conflicts with the Cython generated initproc used to initialise your module.
The solution is to call your module something other than proc. It isn't an ideal solution, but there aren't too many other options.

One of the reasons Python 3 picked a different form PyInit_<module_name> was that the Python 2 form was known to cause a few conflicts (see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3121/#entry-point-name-conflicts).

Telepath is a bit of a playground for Jacob Holm-Lupo when he is away from his main projects, White Willow and The Opium Cartel.
"The whole thing started during a lengthy visit from family this spring. Being a bit of an introvert I would have to sneak away from the festivities at night and seek refuge in my studio to catch a breath from all the socializing, and before I knew it three weeks had gone by and I had written, recorded and mixed an album. Telepath is basically a tribute to the music I grew up with, much like The Opium Cartel. But where The Opium Cartel mines the pop music I listened to in the 80s, Telepath goes a bit further back, to the hard rock and metal that was my very first musical love. A bit of thrash, a bit of doom, and a fair dash of 70s hard rock has gone into my cauldron of songs, and also more than a little of the kind of soundtrack music that accompanied the 80s horror flicks me and my friends used to love to watch (I still do!). So there's that meeting of crunchy guitars and bangin' drums with the synth sounds of Goblin, Fabio Frizzi and John Carpenter that basically defines Telepath.
I never intended for this to become an album, so recording these songs was a pure exercise in fun, experimentation and enjoyment. I utilized every dirty trick in the book to create the illusion of a band, while it was always basically me and my instruments and tools. Guitars, synths, drum machines, sequencers, loops, programming and samples have all been used to realize the tunes, but while I used state of the art tech to put it all together, I also wanted things to be as spontaneous as possible, so all instrument recordings are first takes, and I never went back to correct mistakes, whether it was a bum note or a missed beat from a sequencer, or indeed my own off-key singing. Thankfully the album is 95% instrumental."

US Hostility Toward the Island was Never Really About the Cold War: America's Cuba
US Hostility Toward the Island was Never Really About the Cold War
America's Cuba
by CHRIS LEWIS
President Barack Obama announced on December 17th that the United States would begin normalizing relations with the island, as both governments agreed to a prisoner swap: Cuba released imprisoned USAID contractor Alan Gross and a US intelligence operative, while the United States released three Cuban intelligence agents arrested in the 1990s while spying on militant Cuban exile groups. The countries will begin talks with the goal of opening embassies, Obama will ease travel and financial restrictions for American citizens, and Cuba will release a group of detainees that the US has designated political prisoners. The US trade embargo remains in place, and requires Congressional action to repeal.
"U.S. to Restore Full Relations With Cuba, Erasing a Last Trace of Cold War Hostility," the New York Times proclaimed. The notion that the US embargo is a Cold War relic that has outlived its usefulness has long been a common assertion among American critics of Cuba policy. Democratic Senators, the editor of The Nation, progressive NGOs, and even Forbes columnists and the Cato Institute have framed the conflict in these terms.
US-Cuban relations have undoubtedly been shaped by the Cold War, but the narrative of Cold War conflict between the two countries is a historically dubious rendering, obfuscating a long record of US intervention in Cuba and the rest of Latin America.
The Cuban revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power in January 1959 was led by a group of liberal-minded young nationalists, united by their opposition to military dictator Fulgencio Batista. They displayed few socialist tendencies and no open hostility toward the United States. Far from demonizing the revolutionaries, the United States immediately recognized the new government when it took power.
The amity didn't last long. In May 1959, Fidel Castro unveiled the revolution's land reform program, which called for breaking up holdings larger than 1,000 acres and distributing them to small farmers. It also specified that only Cubans would be allowed to own land, and promised compensation for confiscated lands. In an era of worldwide land reform this was hardly radical, but US officials perceived the move as a threat to the vast property owned by American companies in Cuba. According to historian Richard Gott, a June 1959 meeting of the National Security Council concluded that Castro couldn't be allowed to stay in power. By October, the CIA had drafted a program that "authorized us to support elements in Cuba opposed to the Castro government, while making Castro's downfall seem to be the result of his own mistakes." The Eisenhower administration began plotting with Cuban exiles in Florida.

2. It was about Florida, not the Cold War
During and after the American Revolution a great many Tory sympathizers fled to Canada. Imagine that, 1) Canada was a world superpower of the day and, 2) those American-Canadian exiles became an extraordinarily powerful political lobby in a way that could swing national elections in Canada. Now imagine that the price the American Tory exiles wanted in order to throw their support to particular Canadian politicians was that Canada try to overthrow of the new American government, or at least to "destabilize" the weaker United States with a crippling embargo.
Over the last half century the Cuban exile community has had the money and power to tip the balance in elections in Florida. And Florida elections are about a lot more than Florida politics. Florida is a crucial swing state with 29 electoral votes. Have you noticed that in the final weeks before any recent presidential election both candidates seem to be on a constant shuttle flight between Ohio and Florida? Every politician in America who hopes to become president has felt the need to crank up the anti-Castro rhetoric in order to win Florida.
Obama's move was not only the right thing to do, it was a political recognition that the influence of that first-generation of angry Cuban exiles in Florida is not as powerful as it used to be.

Il Pecorino Romano è un formaggio italiano a denominazione di origine protetta, la cui zona di produzione comprende il Lazio, la provincia di Grosseto e la Sardegna. Tutti i processi di lavorazione, dall'allevamento del bestiame alla stagionatura del formaggio, devono avvenire entro questa zona. Anche i fermenti lattici (scotta-innesto) e gli agnelli che forniscono il caglio devono essere autoctoni.

Per quanto il nome del formaggio ne indichi la origine laziale, in età contemporanea la quasi totalità della produzione (97%) avviene ormai solo in Sardegna. Nel 2018 il sistema produttivo ha visto 11.236 allevamenti di cui 10.939 solo in Sardegna per 41 produttori di cui 37 nell'Isola e 4 nel Lazio. Il Consorzio per la tutela del formaggio Pecorino Romano ha sede a Macomer, in provincia di Nuoro.

Il formaggio è un ingrediente fondamentale di molti piatti della cucina romana e laziale, di cui fa parte come accompagnamento ad esempio nella pasta all'amatriciana. A Roma e provincia (ma oggigiorno l'usanza si è diffusa anche in altre parti d'Italia) è uso consumare fave e pecorino per la festa del primo maggio.

Con 22.000 tonnellate, è il quarto formaggio italiano più esportato all'estero.

Storia

Origini

Le prime testimonianze di una varietà di pecorino romano risalgono all'epoca romana. Originario dell'Agro Romano, è descritto dettagliatamente nelle opere di molti autori dell'Antica Roma come Plinio il Vecchio, Marco Terenzio Varrone, Lucio Giunio Moderato Columella e Publio Virgilio Marone; nel trattato De re rustica dello scrittore di agricoltura Columella è riscontrabile una minuziosa descrizione delle tecniche di lavorazione del latte ovino:

La capacità di lunga conservazione e l'alto valore nutritivo ne faceva un alimento base dell'approvvigionamento dell'esercito romano. Virgilio infatti ci tramanda che fu stabilita una razione giornaliera di un'oncia (27 grammi) da distribuire a ciascun legionario ad integrazione della zuppa di farro e del pane.

Età contemporanea
Sebbene la storia e il nome del pecorino romano leghino quest'ultimo al territorio laziale, nel quale ha avuto origine, dalla seconda metà dell'Ottocento la fase della produzione avviene prevalentemente in Sardegna, terra di antichissima tradizione agro-pastorale: tale lavorazione venne introdotta dopo il 1884, anno in cui il sindaco di Roma introdusse il divieto di salagione del formaggio all'interno della città. Questo fatto costrinse molti casari romani a spostare la produzione nell'isola, favorendo così l'introduzione di nuove tecnologie e accrescendo notevolmente la produzione e la conseguente esportazione di questa varietà di formaggio nel mercato nordamericano; proprio l'abitato di Macomer, in virtù dell'ubicazione geografica e delle caratteristiche dei prati e degli ovini, divenne luogo d'interesse per alcuni operosi imprenditori della penisola (Albano, Bozzano, Carnevali, Centa, Centoli, Dalmasso, Di Trani, Locatelli, Salmon) i quali commutarono le lavorazioni rustiche locali dal tradizionale Fiore Sardo al Romano attraverso l'edificazione di nuovi e moderni caseifici, contribuendo così enormemente all'evoluzione economica e demografica del Marghine. L'isola, sottoposta a un'intensa opera di deforestazione per le carbonaie savoiarde e la industria delle traversine, si prestava inoltre a offrire un terreno ideale per la predisposizione di una filiera monoculturale ovina.

A seguito della Conferenza di Stresa del 1951 (indetta  da alcuni stati europei per far fronte alla questione delle contraffazioni e delle imitazioni dei prodotti alimentari tradizionali) e con l'attribuzione nel 1955 delle prime denominazioni di origine controllata (DOC) nel settore caseario, venne formalmente acconsentita la fabbricazione del pecorino in Sardegna. Per converso la produzione laziale, che sino agli anni '50 contava su una quarantina di piccole e medie imprese,  subì un costante ridimensionamento dovuto in parte all'eccellente concorrenza dei produttori isolani ma soprattutto allo spopolamento dei centri rurali e alla drastica diminuzione del numero degli addetti in agricoltura a vantaggio di altri settori in crescita nell'Urbe come il pubblico impiego, l'edilizia e il commercio.

Nel 1979, per volontà di un gruppo di operatori del Lazio e della Sardegna, venne istituito il Consorzio per la Tutela del Formaggio Pecorino Romano avente sede a Macomer, il quale nel 1981 ottenne dal Ministero dell'Agricoltura l'affidamento dell'incarico di vigilanza sulla produzione e sul commercio, e nel 2002 quello per la tutela della DOP (denominazione assegnata al Pecorino Romano dal 1996).

Attualmente gli scopi del Consorzio comprendono la tutela e la vigilanza sulla produzione e sulla commercializzazione del Pecorino Romano, la tutela della denominazione in Italia e all'estero, l'incremento del consumo e il miglioramento qualitativo del prodotto. Il Disciplinare di Produzione è stato ampiamente modificato nel corso degli ultimi decenni, introducendo nel 1995 la salatura in salamoia alternativamente a quella a secco. Inoltre, il periodo della stagionatura è stato abbassato dai tradizionali 12-18 mesi fino ai 5-8 mesi, secondo attuale disciplinare.
Anche la pezzatura è stata volutamente modificata. La tradizione romana vuole una grande forma da 33–35 kg, invece dei correnti 22–25 kg. Non dimentichiamo il colore nero della forma di Pecorino Romano, la "Cappatura Nera" in gergo caseario, simbolo della tradizione romana.

Dal 2010 il Lazio, la Sardegna e la Provincia di Grosseto hanno ottenuto un ulteriore logo di distinzione geografica.

Nella stagione 2014-2015 del campionato di calcio di Serie A il marchio è comparso per quattro partite sulle maglie del Cagliari

Produzione
Il Pecorino Romano è un formaggio a pasta dura e cotta, prodotto esclusivamente con latte fresco intero di pecora. Questo può essere lavorato direttamente crudo oppure sottoposto a termizzazione ad una temperatura massima di 68 °C per non più di 15'', ed eventualmente inoculato con fermenti lattici naturali (scotta innesto) costituiti da un'associazione di batteri lattici termofili. La coagulazione del latte si ottiene ad una temperatura compresa fra i 38°/40 °C con l'impiego di caglio in pasta d'agnello. Avvenuto l'indurimento della cagliata, si procede alla sua rottura in coaguli della dimensione di un chicco di riso e alla cottura a temperatura non superiore ai 48 °C.

La salatura può essere fatta a secco (tecnica più antica) o in salamoia, e la stagionatura si protrae per almeno 5 mesi per il formaggio da tavola e almeno 8 per quello da grattugia.

Le forme sono cilindriche a facce piane, con un'altezza dello scalzo compresa fra i 25 e i 40 cm e il diametro del piatto fra i 25 e i 35 cm. Il peso delle forme può variare tra i 20 e i 35 kg e riportano impresso su tutto lo scalzo il marchio all'origine (la testa stilizzata di una pecora) con la dicitura Pecorino Romano nonché, in apposito riquadro, la sigla della provincia di provenienza, il codice del caseificio in cui è stato prodotto ed il mese e l'anno di produzione. In tale riquadro può essere aggiunta l'indicazione "Lazio" o "Sardegna" o "Grosseto" a condizione che l'intero ciclo produttivo si compia nel territorio geografico indicato.

La commercializzazione del Pecorino Romano avviene per quasi il 70% nel Nord America, dove gli Stati Uniti rappresentano i primi acquirenti di questo particolare formaggio italiano.

Composizione e caratteristiche chimico fisiche
Profilo lipidico, composizione e caratteristiche chimico fisiche dei prodotti caseari possono variare in funzione dello stato e dell'alimentazione degli animali, della stagionalità, delle tecniche di lavorazione e trasformazione. Il disciplinare di produzione del pecorino romano rende i dati relativamente omogenei.

The word of Father Sophrony: the mind inclined towards imagination is not able to theologise, because theology is concrete life.
There was no dogma that did not begin through a historical event lived by someone.
The Church is not a theory, it is not an abstract philosophy, it is the most concrete reality.
Yes, but for us it is not concrete because we no longer live in that natural state of man, the Adamic state from the beginning, that we lost through the fall of our ancestor, that we lose through our falls and through our wanderings, but which still lives in us, and to speak politically, still asks for its rights.
The true nature asks for its rights and this demand of our nature, which, after all, is reconciled only with the holiness of God, bursts in different ways, through our passions and so on, all sorts of aspirations, all sorts of thoughts, ideas, imaginations and other things, to quote our poet [Mihai Eminescu], "vain ideals".


Bright purple/red. Bright and ripe Cabernet fruit aromas with some fine oak background. Medium to fuller bodied and complex at the first instance, with fine tannins and chocolate contribution from Merlot. This wine has persistent fine tannins and savoury fruit sweetness to resolve the finish.
A year in Margaret River for fine rich balanced reds, quite fleshy and with approachable tannins. A warm stretch during the growing season finished reds off with generous forward fruit and soft appealing structures.
Our own northern Margaret River vineyards that deliver rich and vibrant varietal flavours.
Selectively harvested and fermented at moderate temperatures. Plunged daily and run off to finish ferment with oak. Matured in a blend of oak and stainless steel rotation.


When & where did Jimi say Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens?
Thread: When & where did Jimi say Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens?
This quote often attributed to Jimi doesn't ever come with a date & place, making it of questionable authenticity, it is obviously a reduction from a quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 – 1894): "It is the province of knowledge to speak, and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen"
Did Jimi actually ever say this?

Re: When & where did Jimi say Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens?
As with the previous quotes so called from Jimi, I have never heard a recording or read an interview where he said this. The 'often cattributed to Jimi' bit makes no sense if you ask me.
I think the phrase expresses what I mean, I wouldn't say it makes no sense. it depends on where you get your definition of attribute from. But, okay, If you want to be grammatically picky, how about 'ascribed to'?
at·trib ut·er, at·trib u·tor n.
These verbs mean to consider as resulting from or belonging to a person or thing. Attribute and ascribe, often interchangeable, have the widest application: The historian discovered a new symphony attributed to Mozart. The museum displayed an invention ascribed to the 15th century.
You surely can infer what I meant - people say Jimi said this, but I see no evidence.

It makes sense to me, but 'often attributed'? Never heard this one before either. However, the Holmes connection is familiar. thnx.
"Watch Out For Your Ears!"
Interesting that nothing can proove that he actually said this. I never thought about to check it out.
Someone just reposted this bogus quote on Google+ today. I commented about it being bogus. So of course now I'm the bad guy. Same thing happened the other day with the "Love of power/power of love" quote.
Yep! If anything he was a master of obscure statements.
Where can this rant be found? I'm sure it's an entertaining read! :-) (Watch out, or "Electric Love" will hit you right in the head!) EDIT: SORRY! I missed the link above!
"The point of this incident is it highlights how most of those who follow Jimi's music and story don't want to know what he really said and thought, they lack interest in the real Jimi and instead crave a fiction of him."
Oh wow.... And this comes from Michael Fairchild???!!!
Apparently there are some websites that offer pre-fab Facebook and Google+ "profile pages" with celebrity quotes. So people grab these profiles and put them on their own FB pages and then someone else sees it and likes it and it spreads like a virus. I "corrected" yet another one of them today before realizing that I am tilting at windmills here. There are literally thousands of Google references misattributing the quotes to Jimi and there's probably nothing any of us can do that will make any difference in the long run. Time to just let it go . . .
There must be a Hendrix fan at Google and FB headquarters! Let's hope that thousands of them will love his music and join us at CTT!
Here is another quote that recently has been increasingly attributed to Hendrix.
The quote appears in The Forbes Book of Business Quotations (1997) edited by Edward C. Goodman and Ted Goodman . 639.
"We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace."
"Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other."

Q: How to stop date("i") function resetting after 59 seconds in PHP My code below works out how much time has passed (as a unix time stamp) from a certain start time, up to the current time.
It then converts the unix time stamp into minutes using the date("i") function
This works fine, however when it reaches past 59 minutes, it then resets back to 0, instead of continuing on to 60 minutes.. 100 minutes.. 1000 minutes and so on.
Is there a way to make date("i") continue counting in minutes?
$difference = (time() - $supportrequest->startTime);
echo (int)date("i", $difference);

A: If you read the function documentation, it says that the parameter i returns a value between 00 and 59, which means that it CANNOT return a value over 59. That's why it resets.
If you want to confirm it yourself, here's the official documentation. It's worth a read: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
To sum up an answer to your question; No, there is no way to make date("i")continue counting in minutes.


Offering free WiFi, Casa Antiga is set in a newly renovated historical house, located in Odeceixe's centre. The Atlantic Ocean is 3.5 km from the guest house.
The Bamboo Apartment is part of the Vida Pura Eco Retreat and Inspiration Land. It is within the ecological reserve and a short 3 km drive away from the town of Odeceixe. Scenic Odeceixe Beach is 6 km away.


2017 is nearing an end, but there are still a few heavy hitting games coming out. Last month saw the release of the hotly anticipated Destiny 2 and even with negative press around microtransactions and changes to cosmetics, Bungie's sci-fi space opera still managed to outsell every other game of the year in a single month. There are no concrete numbers to back this up, but the NPD Group has released its September 2017 chart and Destiny 2 is reigning supreme.
According to the firm, revenue for the month totaled around $1.21 billion, which is an increase of 39% over last year. Hardware sales also saw an increase of 34% over last year, bringing in an estimated $316 million. The only statistic that went down was PC software sales, but I'm not sure if those include digital numbers or not (some companies are stingy with releasing digital figures).
I always find it surprising that last year's games tend to stick around in the sales charts, but how the hell is Grand Theft Auto V still competing? That being said, there are some neat things if you look at individual platform charts. Metroid: Samus Returns is the best selling 3DS game this year and Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is actually selling better than Zelda on Switch.
As for whether or not Destiny 2 will hold on to this honor, who's to say? I have a feeling that Call of Duty: WWII is going to stomp out everything, even with the series seemingly becoming less popular over time.

Protect Our Waves – Join SAS at Paddle Round The Pier
Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) are stoked to be at the 2011 Paddle Round The Pier, highlighting the issues of ocean pollution and threats to our coastline. Sewage, toxic chemicals and marine litter are big problems at breaks and beaches across the UK, but other threats include climate change, environmental damage and impacts on wave quality and surfers' rights of access to waves.
Brighton and Hove has a population of 250,000 people but no modern day sewage treatment system. All its sewage is discharged raw each day through a long sea outfall off Telscombe Cliffs. The amount of untreated sewage going in the sea each day is staggering and is the equivalent of 80 Olympic sized swimming pools.
Watersports thrive in this part of the UK with international kitesurfing and windsurfing competitions regularly visiting. Unfortunately those using water for recreation continue to run a health gauntlet.
Brighton and Hove should have updated their sewage treatment system to meet the EU's Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive. This Directive came into force at the end of 2000 and the UK Government may soon face huge fines from the European Commission if this Directive is not met.
A planning application was submitted by Southern Water in 2005 but it fails to incorporate full sewage treatment, instead it proposes to upgrade the current system to secondary level treatment. SAS is challenging this application calling for full sewage treatment to be provided at the modernised sewage treatment plant. Not only would this provide clean and safe water for recreational water users b ut it also would allow wastewater to be reused to help offset current water shortages that the company are currently facing because of frequent drought conditions.
You can learn more about the SAS clean water campaigns at the Paddle Round The Pier stand and show your support by buying an SAS t-shirt or becoming a member. SAS members receive a quarterly newsletter, a members-only keyring and car sticker, campaign action sticker pack, booklet and poster, access to the Member's Area of the website, 10% off in the SAS shop and discounts from our partners, including an amazing 15% off at howies.

Q: Exact Keyword search phrases The search engine I'm using is a MySQL/PHP search engine.
I have been searching the forums for some time to try to get a solution for this problem.
If I have keywords for 3 separate images labeled:

*

*#1 pure black

*#2 pure white

*#3 pure green

If I type "pure white" in the search box all 3 images come up because they all share the word "pure".
Is there a workaround or code I can add to only match exact search phrases when using multiple search keywords?
This is the code:
<?php
  //get data
  $button = $_GET['submit'];
  $search = $_GET['search'];

  $s = $_GET['s'];
  if (!$s)
    $s = 0;

  $e = 10;

  $next = $s + $e;
  $prev = $s - $e;

  if (strlen($search) <= 2)
    echo "Must be greater then 3 chars";
  else {
    echo "

	<form action='search.php' method='GET'><input type='text' onclick=value='' size='50' name='search' value='$search'> <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Search'></form>

";

  //connect to database
  mysql_connect("","","");
  mysql_select_db("");

  //explode out search term
  $search_exploded = explode(" ",$search);

  foreach($search_exploded as $search_each) {
    //construct query
    $x++;
    if ($x == 1)
      $construct .= "keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'";
    else
      $construct .= " OR keywords LIKE '%$search_each%'";
    }

    //echo outconstruct
    $constructx = "SELECT * FROM searchengine WHERE $construct";

    $construct = "SELECT * FROM searchengine WHERE $construct ORDER BY keywords LIMIT $s,$e ";
    $run = mysql_query($constructx);

    $foundnum = mysql_num_rows($run);
    $run_two = mysql_query("$construct");

    if ($foundnum == 0)
      echo "No results found for $search";
    else {
      echo "

Showing 1-10 of $foundnum results found for $search.

";

   while ($runrows = mysql_fetch_assoc($run_two)) {
    //get data
    $title = $runrows['title'];
    $desc = $runrows['description'];
    $url = $runrows['url'];

    echo "

$title

    $desc

    $url

";
   }
?>

<?php
if (!$s<=0)
 echo "Prev";

$i =1;
for ($x=0;$x<$foundnum;$x=$x+$e) {
 echo " $i ";
 $i++;
}

if ($s<$foundnum-$e)
  echo "Next";
}
}

?>

A: Don't explode your search string.  This will force it to use the full search string as a search, rather than any one of the pieces.
Or, you could change your operator OR in your construct to AND, and that way it would require all the words to appear, regardless of order, however.

A: Don't use fuzzy LIKE %% queries, query by keywords = '$search'.


My first acquaintance with H. P. Blavatsky began in the winter of the year 1874. She was then living in apartments in Irving Place, New York City, United States. She had several rooms en suite. The front rooms looked out on Irving Place, and the back upon the garden. My first visit was made in the evening, and I saw her there among a large number of persons who were always attracted to her presence. Several languages were to be heard among them, and Mme. Blavatsky, while conversing volubly in Russian, apparently quite absorbed, would suddenly turn round and inject an observation in English into a discussion between other persons upon a different topic to the one she was engaged with. This never disturbed her, for she at once returned to her Russian talk, taking it up just where it had been dropped.
Very much was said on the first evening that arrested my attention and enchained my imagination. I found my secret thoughts read, my private affairs known to her. Unasked, and certainly without any possibility of her having inquired about me, she referred to several private and peculiar circumstances in a way that showed at once that she had a perfect knowledge of my family, my history, my surroundings, and my idiosyncrasies. On that first evening I brought with me a friend, a perfect stranger to her. He was a native of the Sandwich Islands, who was studying law in New York, and who had formed all his plans for a lifelong stay in that city. He was a young man, and had then no intention of marrying. But she carelessly told him, before we left for home, that before six months he would cross the continent of America, then make a long voyage, and, stranger yet to him, that before all of this he would marry. Of course the idea was pooh-poohed by him. Still fate was too much for him. In a few months he was invited to fill an official position in his native land, and before leaving for that country he married a lady who was not in America at the time the prophecy was uttered.
The next day I thought I would try an experiment with Mme. Blavatsky. I took an ancient scarabaeus that she had never seen, had it wrapped up and sent to her through the mails by a clerk in the employment of a friend. My hand did not touch the package, nor did I know where it was posted. But when I called on her at the end of the week the second time, she greeted me with thanks for the scarabaeus. I pretended ignorance. But she said it was useless to pretend, and then informed me how I had sent it, and where the clerk had posted it. During the time that elapsed between my seeing her and the sending of the package no one had heard from me a word about the matter.
Very soon after I met her, she moved to 34th Street, and while there I visited her very often. In those rooms I used to hear the raps in furniture, in glasses, mirrors, windows and walls, which are usually the accompaniment of dark "spiritist" seances. But with her they occurred in the light, and never except when ordered by her. Nor could they be induced to continue once that she ordered them to stop. They exhibited intelligence also, and would at her request change from weak to strong, or from many to few at a time.
She remained in 34th Street only a few months, and then removed to 47th Street, where she stayed until her departure to India in December 1878. I was a constant visitor, and know, as all others do who were as intimate with her as I was, that the suspicions which have been breathed about her, and the open charges that have from time to time been made, are the foulest injustice or the basest ingratitude. At times she has been incensed by these things, and declared that one more such incident would forever close the door against all phenomena. But over and over again she has relented and forgiven her enemies.
After she had comfortably settled herself in 47th Street, where, as usual, she was from morning till night surrounded by all sorts of visitors, mysterious events, extraordinary sights and sounds continued to occur. I have sat there many an evening, and seen in broad gas light, large luminous balls creeping over the furniture, or playfully jumping from point to point, while the most beautiful liquid bell sounds now and again burst out from the air of the room. These sounds often imitated either the piano or a gamut of sounds whistled by either myself or some other person. While all this was going, H. P. Blavatsky sat unconcernedly reading or writing at Isis Unveiled.
It should be remarked here that Mme. Blavatsky never exhibited either hysteria or the slightest appearance of trance. She was always in the full possession of all her faculties - and apparently of more than those of average people - whenever she was producing any phenomena.
In the month of November or the beginning of December of the same winter, a photograph was received from a correspondent at Boston by Col. Olcott, which was the occasion of two very striking phenomena. It purported to be the portrait of a person said to have written the books called Art Magic and Ghost Land. The sender required Col. Olcott to return it almost immediately; which he did on the following evening, and I myself, being there as a caller, posted it in the nearest post-box. Two or three days later a demand was made upon Mme. Blavatsky for a duplicate of the picture, in the belief that it would be beyond even her powers, since she had no model to copy from. But she actually did it; the process consisting merely in her cutting a piece of cardboard to the requisite size, laying it under a blotting-paper, placing her hand upon it, and in a moment producing the copy demanded. Col. Olcott took possession of this picture, and laid it away in a book that he was then reading, and which he took to bed with him. The next morning the portrait had entirely faded out, and only the name, written in pencil, was left. A week or two later, seeing this blank card lying in Col. Olcott's room, I took it to Mme. Blavatsky, and requested her to cause the portrait to reappear. Complying, she again laid the card under another sheet of paper, placed her hand upon it, and presently the face of the man had come back as before; this time indelibly imprinted.
In the front room where she wrote, there was a bookcase that stood for some time directly opposite her writing-desk. Upon its top stood a stuffed owl, whose glassy, never closing eye frequently seemed to follow your movements. Indeed, I could relate things apropos of that same defunct bird, but - in the words of Jacolliot - "We have seen things such as one does not relate for fear of making his readers doubt his sanity. . . Still we have seen them." Well, over the top of the doors of the bookcase was a blank space, about 3 inches wide, and running the breadth of the case. One evening we were sitting talking of magic as usual, and of "the Brothers," when Madame said, "Look at the bookcase!"
We looked up at once, and as we did so, we could see appear, upon the blank space I have described, several letters apparently in gold, that came out upon the surface of the wood. They covered nearly all of the space. Examination showed that they were in gold, and in a character that I had often seen upon some of her papers.
This precipitation of messages or sentences occurred very frequently, and I will relate one which took place under my own hand and eyes, in such a way as to be unimpeachable for me.
I was one day, about four o'clock, reading a book by P. B. Randolph, that had just been brought in by a friend of Colonel Olcott. I was sitting some six feet distant from H. P. Blavatsky, who was busy writing. I had carefully read the title-page of the book, but had forgotten the exact title. But I knew that there was not one word of writing upon it. As I began to read the first paragraph, I heard a bell sound in the air, and looking, saw that Mme. Blavatsky was intently regarding me.
"'What book do you read?" said she.
Turning back to the title-page, I was about to read aloud the name, when my eye was arrested by a message written in ink across the top of the page which, a few minutes before, I had looked at, and found clear. It was a message in about seven lines, and the fluid had not yet quite dried on the page - its contents were a warning about the book. I am positive that when I took the volume in my hand not one word was written in it.
On one occasion the address of a business firm in Philadelphia was needed for the purpose of sending a letter through the mail, and no one present could remember the street or number, nor could any directory of Philadelphia be found in the neighborhood. The business being very urgent, it was proposed that one of us should go down nearly four miles to the General Post Office, so as to see a Philadelphia directory. But H. P.B. said: "Wait a moment, and perhaps we can get the address some other way." She then waved her hand, and we instantly heard a signal bell in the air over our heads. We expected no less than that a heavy directory would rush at our heads from the empty space, but no such thing took place. She sat down, took up a flat tin paper-cutter, japanned black on both sides, and without having any painting on it. Holding this in her left hand, she gently stroked it with her right, all the while looking at us with an intense expression. After she had rubbed thus for a few moments, faint outlines of letters began to show themselves upon the black, shining surface, and presently the complete advertisement of the firm whose address we desired was plainly imprinted upon the paper-cutter in gilt letters, just as they had it done on slips of blotting-paper, such as are widely distributed as advertising media in America - a fact I afterwards found out. On a close examination, we saw that the street and number, which were the doubtful points in our memories, were precipitated with great brilliancy, the other words and figures being rather dimmer. Mme. Blavatsky said that this was because the mind of the operator was directed almost entirely to the street and number, so that their reproduction was brought about with much greater distinctness than the rest of the advertisement, which was, so to speak, dragged in in a rather accidental way.
About any object that might be transported mysteriously around her room, or that came into it through the air by supermundane means, there always lingered for a greater or less space of time a very peculiar though pleasant odor. It was not always the same. At one time it was sandal-wood mixed with what I thought was otto of roses; at another time some unknown Eastern perfume, and again it came like the incense burnt in temples.
One day she asked me if I would care to smell again the perfume. Upon my replying affirmatively, she took my handkerchief in her hand, held it for a few moments, and when she gave it back to me it was heavy with the well known odor. Then, in order to show me that her hand was not covered with something that would come off upon the handkerchief, she permitted me to examine both hands. They were without perfume. But after I had convinced myself that there was no perfumery or odoriferous objects concealed in her hands, I found from one hand beginning to exhale one peculiar strong perfume, while from the other there rolled out strong waves of the incense.
On the table at which Isis Unveiled was written stood a little Chinese cabinet with many small drawers. A few of the drawers contained small trifles, but there were several that were always kept empty. The cabinet was an ordinary one of its class, and repeated examination showed that there were no devices or mechanical arrangements in it or connected with it; but many a time has one or other of those empty drawers become the vanishing point of various articles, and as often, on the other hand, was the birth-place of some object which had not before been seen in the rooms. I have often seen her put small coins, or a ring or amulet, and have put things in there myself, closed the drawer, almost instantly re-opening it, and nothing was visible. It had disappeared from sight. Clever conjurers have been known to produce such illusions, but they always require some confederacy, or else they delude you into believing that they had put the object it, when in reality they did not. With H. P. B. there was no preparation. I repeatedly examined the cabinet, and positively say that there was no means by which things could be dropped out of sight or out of the drawer; it stood on found small legs, elevated about two inches above the desk, which was quite clear and unbroken underneath. Several times I have seen her put a ring into one of the drawers and then leave the room. I then looked in the drawer, saw the ring in it, and closed it again. She then returned, and without coming near the cabinet showed me the same ring on her finger. I then looked again in the drawer before she again came near it, and the ring was gone.
One day Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, the philanthropist, who had a great regard for H. P. B., called to see her. I was present. When about to leave, the visitor asked Madame to lend her some object which she had worn, as a reminder and as a talisman. The request being acceded to, the choice was left to the lady, who hesitated a moment; Madame then said, "Take this ring," immediately drawing it off and handing it to her friend, who placed it upon her finger, absorbed in admiring the stones. But I was looking at H. P. B.'s ringers, and saw that the ring was yet on her hand. Hardly believing my eyes, I looked at the other. There was no mistake. There were now two rings; but the lady did not observe this, and went off satisfied she had the right one. In a few days she returned it to Madame, who then told me that one of the rings was an illusion, leaving it to me to guess which one. I could not decide, for she pushed the returned ring up along her finger against the old one, and both merged into one.
One evening several persons were present after dinner, all, of course, talking about theosophy and occultism. H. P. B. was sitting at her desk. While we were all engaged in conversation somebody said that he heard music, and went out into the hall where he thought it came from. While he was examining the hall, the person sitting near the fire-place said that instead of being in the hall, the music, which was that of a musical box, was playing up in the chimney. The gentleman who had gone into the passage then returned and said that he had lost the music, but at once was thoroughly amazed to find us all listening at the fire-place, when he in turn heard the music plainly. Just as he began to listen, the music floated out into the room, and very distinctly finished the tune in the air over our heads. I have on various occasions heard this music in many ways, and always when there was not any instrument to produce it.
On this evening, a little while after the music, Madame opened one of the drawers of the Chinese cabinet and took from it an Oriental necklace of curious beads. This she gave to a lady present. One of the gentlemen allowed to escape him an expression of regret that he had not received such a testimonial. Thereupon H. P. B. reached over and grasped one of the beads of the necklace which the lady was still holding in her hands, and the bead at once came off in Madame's hand. She then passed it to the gentleman, who exclaimed that it was not merely a bead but was now a breast-pin, as there was a gold pin fastened securely in it. The necklace meanwhile remained intact, and its recipient was examining it in wonder that one of its beads could have been thus pulled off without breaking it.
I have heard it said that when H. P. B. was a young woman, after coming back to her family for the first time in many years, everyone in her company was amazed and affrighted to see material objects such as cups, books, her tobacco pouch and match-box, and so forth, come flying through the air into her hand, merely when she gazed intently at them. The stories of her early days can be readily credited by those who saw similar things done at the New York head-quarters. Such aerial flights were many times performed by objects at her command in my presence. One evening I was in a hurry to copy a drawing I had made, and looked about on the table for a paper-cutter with which to rub the back of the drawing so as to transfer the surplus carbon to a clean sheet.
As I searched, it was suggested by some one that the round smooth back of a spoon bowl would be the best means, and I arose to go to the kitchen at the end of the hall for a spoon. But Mme. Blavatsky said, "Stop, you need not go there; wait a moment." I stopped at the door, and she, sitting in her chair, held up her left hand. At that instant a large table-spoon flew through the air across the room from out of the opposite wall and into her hand. No one was there to throw it to her, and the dining-room from which it had been transported was about thirty feet distant; two brick walls separating it from the front room.
"The picture of ------- in the dining-room has just been opened; the glass is smashed and the painting is on the floor."
One day, while she was talking with me, she suddenly stopped and said --- "So-and-so is now talking of me to -------, and says, &c." I made a note of the hour, and on the first opportunity discovered that she had actually heard the person named saying just what she told me had been said at the very time noted.
My office was at least three miles away from her rooms. One day, at about 2 P.M., I was sitting in my office engaged in reading a legal document, my mind intent on the subject of the paper. No one else was in the office, and in fact the nearest room was separated from me by a wide opening, or well, in the building, made to let light into the inner chambers. Suddenly I felt on my hand a peculiar tingling sensation that always preceded any strange thing to happen in the presence of H. P. B., and at that moment there fell from the ceiling upon the edge of my desk, and from there to the floor, a triangularly-folded note from Madame to myself. It was written upon the clean back of a printed Jain sutra or text. The message was in her handwriting, and was addressed to me in her writing across the printed face.
I remember one phenomenon in connection with the making of a water-colour drawing of an Egyptian subject for her, which also illustrates what the Spiritualists call apport, or the bringing phenomenally of objects from some distant place. I was in want of certain dry colors which she could not furnish me from her collection, and as the drawing must be finished at that sitting, and there was no shop near by where I could purchase them, it seemed a dilemma until she stepped towards the cottage piano, and, holding up the skirt of her robe-de-chambre with both hands, received into it seventeen bottles of Winsor & Newton dry colours, among them those I required. I still wanted some gold-paint, so she caused me to bring her a saucer from the dining-room, and to give her the brass key of the door. She rubbed the key upon the bottom of the saucer for a minute or two, and then, returning them to me, I found a supply of the paint I required coating the porcelain.

Q: Is authorization via Angular safe? I am completely new to Angular, and I was watching a tutorial where access to a 'dashboard' page was forbidden unless the user is logged in.
Code looks something like this:
$routeProvider.when('/dashboard', {
    resolve: {
        check: function($location, user){
            if(!user.isUserLoggedIn()){
                $location.path('/404');
            }
        }
    }
    templateUrl: './dashboard.html',
    controller: 'dashboardCtrl'
})

What prevents a user from changing the above if statement (since, if I understand correctly, all of angular code is visible to the user) to if(false){...}, and therefore obtain access to the dashboard page?
I know that code is usually minified, but is that enough to prevent the user from finding a way to change it?

A: Nothing prevents the user from changing the JavaScript code on the client, even though it's minified.
You should prevent user from accessing the protected resources on the backend.
