CABELL COUNTY, WV (WOWK) – An Amber Alert has been issued for a missing child in Cabell County, West Virginia.
Authorities say that West Virginia has issued an AMBER Alert for Mila Carf, White female, age 6, abducted by her non-custodial mother, Shana Carf, on Tuesday night, Dec. 13, 2022.

Q: ASP.NET navbar link oddity I am new to asp.net. I am producing a website were people can register as either an individual or a company. To do this I started with a new MVC app with User Authentication enabled.
In AccountController I added:
public ActionResult Register(string id)
{
    return View(id);
}

In the Register view I added:
@Html.ActionLink("Register as individual", "Register/Individual", "Account")
@Html.ActionLink("Register as company", "Register/Company", "Account")

I also added two more views (Individual and Company).
This all works as expected, however, the Register link in the top navbar is acting odd.
If I am on the home page, it will take me to Account/Register as expected
If I then click on the individual link (so the route is Account/Register/Individual) the Register link in the navbar will navigate to the same route (Account/Register/Individual)
The same happens with company.
I'd like it to go back to Account/Register. The Razor code for it is:
@Html.ActionLink("Register", "Register", "Account", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { id = "registerLink" })

A: Try this. Here you are trying to explicitly pass empty string as the parameter value for the Register action method.
@Html.ActionLink("Register", "Register", "Account", new { id =""},
                                                       new { id = "registerLink" })

Also replace your links in register view like this
@Html.ActionLink("Register as individual", "Register", "Account",
                                     new { id ="Individual"},null)
@Html.ActionLink("Register as company", "Register", "Account",
                                     new { id ="Company"},null)

Naturopathy combines state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques and evidence-based medicine with traditional natural therapies for healing.
How do Naturopathic Doctors Compare to Pediatricians?
Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) are similar to other licensed health care providers in that we can order lab tests and imaging, refer to specialists, and prescribe medications such as antibiotics. What sets Naturopathic Doctors apart is that we are also expertly trained in nutrition and optimizing health and wellness.
Naturopathic Doctors are also trained to look at the body as an integrated whole. We seek to determine and treat the underlying cause of an illness rather than simply suppressing symptoms. Naturopaths believe in the body's innate ability to heal itself and we are trained to support this process using safe and gentle natural medicines such as herbs and homeopathy.

Elden Ring's complex lore explained by an expert in just 30 minutes
You've likely played a few dozen hours of Elden Ring by this point, but do you have any idea what it's actually about? YouTube creator VaatiVidya's newest video dives deep into the game's lore, and at half-an-hour it's pretty damn efficient at explaining the inner machinations of George R.R. Martin's side hustle.
The video is also segmented neatly into multiple parts, so you can skip around if you're specifically looking for information about the House of the Moon or the Night of the Black Knives. It's great if you want a quick primer on the who, what, and where. Vaati previously shared an expansive flowchart of lore on Twitter.
VaatiVidya's channel is full of deep dives into other FromSoftware games like Dark Souls, Sekiro, and Bloodborne.
Elden Ring was released in late February. The sweeping fantasy open-world action-RPG invites players to explore at their own pace and complete the game in their own way. In addition to fearsome bosses and cool summons, the game also has a Turtle Pope.

Home » Buying a Lamborghini
Posted on December 31, 2022 by adminLeave a comment
Lamborghini has been in existence for over four decades and has become one of the most well known car manufacturers in the world. There are many different models to choose from and if you are in the market for a new car, you may want to consider choosing a model from this brand. If you are interested in purchasing a Lamborghini, there are a few important factors to consider.
Origins of the name
The origin of the Lamborghini name is not clear. However, it's likely that it was inspired by Spanish fighting bulls. In the early 1960s, Ferruccio Lamborghini visited the famous Don Eduardo Miura Fernandez cattle ranch in Sevilla. He fell in love with the fighting bulls and decided to create a model named after them.
His first car was a Fiat Topolino. Ferruccio later started a company that made tractors from leftover military hardware. After the war, he owned Alfa Romeos, Lancias, Maseratis, and three Ferraris.
He also had a fascination with Spanish fighting bulls. In 1962, he visited Don Eduardo Miura's cattle ranch in Sevilla. From there, he came up with the idea to name cars after the most popular bulls in Spanish bullfighting.
The Miura Sports Coupe
The Lamborghini Miura Sports Coupe was an iconic Italian sports car. It was one of the world's first supercars and it was a revolutionary vehicle. In addition to its revolutionary design, it was also renowned for its extraordinary performance.
Its mid-engine layout and rear-wheel drive were a departure from traditional automotive designs of the time. It was built with an innovative V12 engine and its gearbox was located behind the engine.
The Miura was first shown at the 1965 Turin Motor Show. It was inspired by the Ford GT40. It was the fastest production car at the time.
Its body was a sweeping line, low and slender with a large windscreen and sleek curved lines. The front and rear decks opened clamshell style.
If you're looking for a supercar that roars in your ears and cuts through the air, look no further than the Lamborghini Huracan. The two-seater has fighter jet styling inside and out, along with a four-exhaust system that emphasizes the car's width.
It has an active aerodynamics system that minimizes drag on high-speed sections and maximizes grip during turns. It also has an option for all-wheel drive.
The cabin is a blend of the best Italian craftsmanship and exclusive finishes. You can choose from a variety of Alcantara, Carbon Skin, and leather interiors. Also available are Bluetooth accessibility, USB connectivity, and a 12.3″ TFT instrument panel.
In addition to the standard interior features, the Huracan Performante is equipped with a new aerodynamics system. This new system, known as Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA), is a patented active aerodynamic system that provides superior downforce.
The Selezione Lamborghini Certifed Pre-Owned program
Selezione Lamborghini Certified Pre-Owned program is a new programme introduced by Automobili Lamborghini in February 2019. It is designed to help pre-owned Lamborghini drivers get the assurance that their vehicles have undergone a thorough testing procedure.
The Selezione program has a comprehensive certification process that requires 150 checks on a variety of features. These include the exterior and interior, electronics, tires, brakes, and mechanics.
As a result, a Lamborghini pre-owned car under the Selezione programme can be assured of complete safety and mechanical integrity. All servicing will be carried out by expert technicians using only genuine Lamborghini parts.
In order to participate in the programme, cars must be in exceptional condition. They must pass a 150-point inspection and have a Lamborghini service schedule in place.
The price of a Lamborghini
Lamborghini, an Italian luxury car brand, produces high performance cars. The Aventador is the company's most recent model. It can reach a top speed of 190 miles per hour.
Unlike most luxury cars, it's possible to customize a Lamborghini. Depending on the model, you can add extra convenience features or change the colour of the exterior paint.
Lamborghini makes a lot of different models, and each one can vary in price. Some vehicles can cost several hundred thousand dollars, while others can be several million dollars. But even if you can't afford a brand new Lamborghini, you can buy used versions for much less.
In India, the cheapest Lamborghini is the Urus, which is available for about 3.15 crores. That's quite a lot of money, though.

Marrying your investment and insurnace with these investment plans could help you secure the present and future of your family.

Should something happen to you midway, this investment could very well be liquidated and prematurely withdrawn to fulfil the family's current needs. Even the corpus left after the partial liquidation will not suffice to meet the family's goals, be it child's higher education or spouse's retirement.
The risk to financial security of your family is much higher during the first half of your work life. Be it goals, such as your child's higher education or wedding, or, your own retirement, your savings remain very low in the initial phase. For instance, if you are targeting to save Rs 50 lakh for your child's higher education 20 years down the line, and your investment earns a post-tax annual return of 8%, then you would need to save Rs 8,793 per month to achieve your goal. But you will be able to accumulate only Rs 6.45 lakh in the first 5 years and Rs 15.93 lakh in the first 10 years, surely the sum that will not help your child fulfil her need for higher education. It is in situations such as these that the life insurance coverage comes to the rescue and ensures that your family is able to fulfil the desired goals even in the event of your untimely demise.
During the course of your work life, your income will help you accumulate various assets, such as household appliances, gadgets, land, residential property, gold and deposits. Over a period, certain assets will generate enough income to take care of your family's regular expenses. But if you are no longer there, acquiring these assets could remain just a wish, unfulfilled. Here, a life insurance cover could provide that bridge when there aren't many income generating assets available. Also, big-ticket items like car and home are typically bought with the aid of loans. In the event of your untimely demise, your family would be left with no choice but to sell them off to repay the outstanding loan. This is where unit linked insurance plans (Ulips) from life insurance companies works so well. They not only protect your family in your absence by covering living expenses but also allow your family members to keep enjoying the car and home bought with loans. Besides providing life cover, Ulips allow you to invest in equities which typically provide high growth during tenures of 10 years or more. The life cover ensures that other high growth investments such as those in equities besides the investment portion of Ulips still keeps growing. What's more, the cost of life insurance is quite low, especially for online plans.
With an adequate life protection to take care of your family, you are better placed to take higher risk for higher reward investments such as equities. This will also help you go a long way in helping you save more in the long-term of 10 years or more.
*Calculations shown in this article are based on assumptions which are mentioned therein and are not related to any product and are just for illustration purpose.
Short-term financial emergencies often damage your financial plans for meeting long-term needs. When faced with an emergency, we tend to reach out to investments that can be liquidated easily. That's where the lock-in periods in investments, such as in unit linked insurance plans (ULIPs), help you stay on course.
Your long-term life goals, such as retirement, need big amounts. As big amounts cannot be saved in a short period, you need long-term regular savings to achieve different goals. That said, you could come across emergencies that will require you to spend significant amount of money. If you have unrestricted access to long-term investments, they could become an easy choice for liquidation, consequently, compromising your long-term goal. For instance, a premature liquidation of long-term investments, say, your child's higher education, to meet a medical emergency, will either compromise his education, or, he will have to take an education loan. If you take the EMI payment burden of the education loan, it will hamper your retirement savings. If your child pays the education loan EMIs, he will save less or nothing for quite some time in his early work life. A lock-in period like the one in ULIPs, ensures that you stick to regular savings in the initial years, stay away from liquidation and successfully save the desired amount for the intended life goal.
When you start long-term investments with an ULIP, you would typically earmark it for an important goal such as your child's higher education or wedding. These goals are likely to be 10-20 years away. However, during the course of maintaining your regular expenses month-on-month, you might come across occasions when you would suddenly need a significant amount in a short time. It could be something like money to be raised for child's school admission process. These can't be accommodated in your monthly budget or addressed through small savings at hand. If you are not allowed to withdraw money in investments like ULIP in the initial years due to a lock-in, you get to save a significant sum by the end of the mandatory 5 year lock-in period. Your temptation to liquidate a lower savings amount during emergencies will be greater compared to substantial amounts over a longer period. This, in effect, improves the chances of the money growing unhindered over the long term and providing the growth you seek. As for emergencies, you are forced to make provisions for them like an emergency fund which has liquid investments equivalent to 3-6 months of living expenses. In any case, during the emergency, you will need to look elsewhere for money and that's where investment plans come into picture.
Equity is considered among the best-performing asset classes in the long-run i.e. 8-10 years or more. But, in the short term, the investments are subject to significant volatility. Individual investors, new to equity investments can get perturbed by the high short-term volatility and some even make premature exits from investments on significant market declines, losing out on long term growth opportunity. However, thanks to the minimum 5 year lock-in in ULIPs, which also help you tap the long-term growth potential of equities, you can't make a hasty and premature exit. Over time, you get used to the turbulence which settles down to more stable returns in the long term investment plans as the investments cross the 8-10 year mark.
Investors typically prefer the best investment plan where they can access their money during emergencies. Many times, this facility does more harm than good since people end up nullifying their hard work done over time with ill-considered premature exits from long-term investments. Lock-in periods in investments such as ULIPs ensure that you short term emergencies don't hamper your progress towards cherished goals such as child's higher education.
Just how much could saving Rs 1,000 a month change your life? After all, in a large Indian city, that's what you pay for a trip to the multiplex and in some cases, a meal for two. The amount may not seem big enough for you to alter your future. But if we tell you that the difference could be Rs 14.16 lakh at age 54, if you are 24 today, we have your attention, don't we?
No matter how small your savings, if they get enough time to grow, they can become reallybig over time.
Now, if you manage to save just Rs 1,000 every month after taking care of all expenses, taxes, EMIs at age 24, and keep saving the same amount for the next 30 years, your money grows to Rs 14.16 lakh. That's assuming that your money grows at 8 per cent every year after taxes. What happens if you start saving the double the amount, but start 10 years later i.e. Rs 2,000 every month at age 34? The answer: you end up with only Rs 11.44 lakh, assuming the same growth for your money. It's amazing, isn't it? Even by doubling the savings you can't still reach where you do by starting early. But what explains this?
Let's return to our example. If the monthly savings of Rs 1,000 grows at 8 per cent every year, in 20 years the money grows to Rs 5.72 lakh in 20 years. If you keep doing more of the same, the money grows 2.5 times in the next 10 years. Look at it in another way. For Rs 1.81 lakh invested during year 20 and year 30, you manage to add Rs 6.63 lakh to your savings. All this you manage to do simply because you accumulate Rs 5.72 lakh in the first 20 years. Moral of the story: money starts growing by itself over long periods. So, the key is to have large amounts of time at hand and not necessarily save big amounts.
There have and are, many "get rich quick" investment schemes that promise you great growth for your money in a short period of time. Many people, after starting out late and anticipating their significant financial needs fall prey to such schemes and lose their money. An early start to regular savings, even with small amounts, ensures that you don't have try anything and expect anything, too risky. If anything, with minimum supervision, you can make your money grow and attend to other important things in life. This means you don't have to stress yourself tracking high growth, high risk investment areas such as stock markets. After a late start, many people spend dollops of time figuring out when to buy and when to sell stocks, almost invariably getting into a mess.
A common mistake made by many people is that they wait to have enough savings to invest. In the process, they lose precious time for the money to grow. If you are wondering where small savings can be made to work, the good news is that there are plenty of regular investment options that help you do this. Among them are life insurance plans. Interestingly, many people assume that you need significant amounts to invest in life insurance savings plans. Life insurance companies have monthly premium paying modes where you can invest small amounts such as Rs 1,000 per month. If you buy online, the amounts can get even lesser. As you get on with your small savings habit and get the money to grow, you can earmark the money for specific needs.
We have all heard elders talk about the power of time. Growth of small, but regular savings is possibly a great illustration of the fact. What's wonderful is anybody can harness this power to shape his future. So, what do you say now? A monthly saving of Rs 1,000 counts, doesn't it?

Stocks to Buy / 7 Medical Device Stocks to Buy as Covid-19 Fears Fade
7 Medical Device Stocks to Buy as Covid-19 Fears Fade
Normalization can bring better outcomes for healthcare
April 5, 2022 By Josh Enomoto, InvestorPlace Contributor Apr 5, 2022, 7:46 am EST April 5, 2022
Source: Roman Zaiets / Shutterstock.com
Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO): A leader in scientific instrumentation, TMO is a powerhouse among medical device stocks.
Edwards Lifesciences (EW): Promoting products to help improving cardiovascular disease outcomes, EW is a feel-good story.
Stryker (SYK): Covering multiple areas including oral hygiene, SYK could enjoy upside due to the normalization effect.
Intuitive Surgical (ISRG): A specialist in minimally invasive care, ISRG is on a relative discount.
Abiomed (ABMD): Developing critical devices for mitigating heart failure, ABMD is another name on discount.
Medtronic (MDT): Manufacturing several devices across a range of needs, MDT is an everyman among medical device stocks.
Cyberdyne (CYBQY): An exoskeleton device maker to address mobility concerns, Cyberdyne is risky but intriguing.
For the broader healthcare industry, the coronavirus pandemic was simultaneously a reflection of the remarkable ingenuity of the sector and the frailties of a modern society coping with a scourge. Unfortunately, this imbalance created a bifurcated dynamic for medical device stocks, with some segments doing well while others performed poorly.
As an article from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health stated, "Roughly 20% of U.S. adults who were polled about health care during the coronavirus pandemic said that they or their household members delayed receiving medical care or were unable to get care at all due to the crisis."
Naturally, such a circumstance impacted medical device stocks not directly related to Covid-19.
As well, the disruption wasn't limited to the U.S. Per a report from McKinsey & Company, demand for specific types of devices such as those geared toward elective procedures contributed to downwind challenges. Until the Covid-19 crisis is fully addressed across the globe, many medical device stocks could suffer.
Fortunately, current Covid case statistics indicate that the worst may be behind us. If so, the normalization effect should bring more people out of the woodwork, which would then holistically boost the below medical device stocks.
TMO Thermo Fisher Scientific $590.14
EW Edwards Lifesciences Corporation $120.28
SYK Stryker Corporation $265.12
ISRG Intuitive Surgical, Inc. $302.25
ABMD Abiomed, Inc. $325.70
MDT Medronic plc $110.88
CYBQY Cyberdyne Inc. $2.93
Medical Device Stocks: Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO)

One of the leaders in the manufacturing of scientific instrumentation along with reagents, consumables and software services, Thermo Fisher Scientific is an easy name to go with regarding medical device stocks to buy. Though it initially slipped during the first onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic, TMO quickly jumped higher as the company supplied the underpinnings of advanced research for vaccines.
In addition, Thermo Fisher provided testing solutions and kits, thus actively playing a role in getting society back on its feet. Therefore, even if the SARS-CoV-2 virus decides to stick around (let's hope not, though), TMO is well positioned to benefit from the circumstance, albeit cynically.
The relevance that the company enjoyed has been reflected in the financials. By the end of 2020, Thermo managed to generate $32.2 billion, a sizable 26% increase from 2019's tally of $25.5 billion. In 2021, the company managed to ring up top-line sales of $39.2 billion, resulting in an impressive growth of 22% year-over-year.
Edwards Lifesciences (EW)

Billed as a leader in manufacturing heart valves, Edwards Lifesciences states that it's dedicated to improving the lives of patients fighting cardiovascular disease and critical illnesses. Best known for its Sapien transcatheter heart valve, this critical device features a relatively small profile, thus designed to keep the patient's future needs in mind.
While I don't want to steer the discussion into a cynical framework, according to a publication on Jama Network, patients with Covid-19 "were at increased risk of a broad range of cardiovascular disorders including cerebrovascular disorders, dysrhythmias, ischemic and non–ischemic heart disease, pericarditis, myocarditis, heart failure, and thromboembolic disease."
As some might have expected, Edwards Lifesciences saw revenue growth flatline in 2020, posting sales of just under $4.4 billion. This figure was a hair short of 1% growth over 2019's result as non-Covid-related medical device stocks produced mixed performances. However, 2021 delivered sales of $5.2 billion, reflecting increasing momentum toward this healthcare segment.
Stryker (SYK)
Featuring a broad range of solutions, Stryker is among the top names to consider for medical device stocks. Essentially, as everyday people become acclimated to the Covid-19 crisis, they will likely resume their normal healthcare routine, particularly for elective and non-acute or emergency concerns.
Now, there's plenty to like about SYK stock and its underlying business. However, its oral hygiene segment could see a rebound. In fact, the Washington Post wrote a fascinating story about this dynamic, how many Americans had forgone dental care for the past two years. Today, they're ready to see their dentists – and companies like Stryker are going to be taking orders for various product needs.
Sure, it's cynical but the trend favors SYK. As expected given the circumstances, in 2020, the company posted sales of $14.4 billion, a haul that was almost 4% below the prior year's result. However, last year, Stryker rang up $17.1 billion, up over 19% YOY.
Medical Device Stocks: Intuitive Surgical (ISRG)
Famous for the development of the da Vinci surgical system, Intuitive Surgical specializes in minimally invasive care. If you're arguably like most people, going under the knife isn't exactly fun times. Some have a paralyzing fear of medical procedures called tomophobia. Fortunately, minimally invasive procedures can help lessen anxieties while improving health outcomes.
But it's not just about addressing natural fears of surgery that makes ISRG so intriguing. Traditional operations may involve intensive work – and sometimes, things can go wrong. Even in the best of circumstances, certain types of surgeries can leave patients hospitalized for several days. Through the da Vinci system, though, it can potentially mitigate the need for excessive hospitalization, thus saving costs.
Long a favorite among investors, ISRG is down over 16% on a year-to-date basis through the final day of March. This could possibly represent a discount. In 2021, Intuitive generated revenue of $5.7 billion, beating out 2020's result by a blistering 31%.
Abiomed (ABMD)

Headquartered in Danvers, Massachusetts with international offices in Germany and Japan, Abiomed develops and manufactures external and implantable circulatory support devices. Arguably, the company is best known for its Impella heart pumps, which support more than 210,000 patients according to its website. Given the size of the baby boomer population, Abiomed should be one of the most relevant medical device stocks to buy.
Again, I don't want to be overly cynical but the numbers are the numbers. According to the American Heart Association, nearly 18.6 million people succumbed to cardiovascular disease in 2019, reflecting a 17.1% increase over the past decade. Furthermore, Covid-19 will likely impact this situation negatively due in part to "increased lifestyle-related risks during and after the pandemic."
Of course, the other side of the equation is that companies like Abiomed can help promote positive outcomes in this space, driving the feel-good narrative for medical device stocks. In its fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, Abiomed generated $848 million, up less than 1% from fiscal 2020's result. However, its trailing-12-month revenue tally of $1 billion suggests a lift in momentum.
Medtronic (MDT)
Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com
Covering a wide range of needs, Medtronic is basically the everyman of medical device stocks. From advanced surgical technologies to oral hygiene products to spinal and orthopedic solutions, whatever you need, Medtronic probably has you covered. However, its product pipeline to address diabetes piqued my interest.
For one thing, experts project that the "number of Americans with prediabetes will climb from 90.6 million in 2015 to 107.7 million in 2030." Second, products such as continuous glucose monitoring systems have generated considerable interest among retail investors. However, it might be better to go with established medical device stocks rather than betting the farm on an upstart.
If the single-product focused company fails, that could be it. In contrast, Medtronic has other revenue streams to fall back on.
The financials for MDT also look interesting. In fiscal 2021, the company generated sales of $30.1 billion, a modest 4% increase against the year-ago period. However, it's a consistently and robustly profitable firm, posting net income of $3.6 billion last year.
Medical Device Stocks: Cyberdyne (CYBQY)
Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com
For those that want to take some big risks with their medical device stocks, I bring you Cyberdyne. Though the name coincidentally ties in with the fictional Cyberdyne Systems from the Terminator franchise of science-fiction films, what's similar between the two is the exoskeleton. For the real Cyberdyne, the company specializes in exoskeleton suits that enhance mobility for patients with compromised functionality.
Based in Japan, Cyberdyne has obvious implications for the country's aging population. According to another report published on JAMA Network, Japan has the highest proportion of centenarians among the general population. Therefore, you've got to imagine that Cyberdyne's exoskeleton would enjoy a sizable total addressable market.
As well, people who suffer from injuries could make use of the mobility suit, improving lives everywhere. However, it's the financial realm where Cyberdyne falls short. Revenue growth has been very modest and small at only $17.3 million for fiscal 2021. In addition, the company consistently prints net losses.
Still, if you want a chance at a moonshot and can handle the risk, Cyberdyne stock could be for you.

Q: How to connect to database in real server I am trying to connect to my database wich it created in PhpMyAdmin in my own server.
I write the code in a php file as below:
<?php
   echo "welcome";
   echo "<br>";

   $conn = mysqli_connect("mydomainename.com:2080", "database_user_in phpmyadmin", "password of my database name", "name of database");
   $result = mysqli_query( $this->conn, "SELECT * FROM `ad` WHERE 1");
   while ( $row = mysqli_fetch_array( $result ) ) {
      $ad_level = $row['ad_level'];
   }
   echo $ad_level;
?>

If I access to this page , its just return : welcome
I think that the error in the syntax of 'mysqli_connect' ....  ist correct ??
have anyone any idea about this ?????
How do I do that? I googled a lot, but either I used the wrong keywords or there are no simple solutions on the internet. I hope somebody here can help me.
Best regards and thanks in advance, Fadel.

A: the real syntax is
mysqli_connect(host,username,password,dbname,port,socket);
so as you have written host name along with the port there must be an error.
you can refer the below link for more insite
http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_mysqli_connect.asp

A: Try this
Use $conn in place of $this->conn
$result = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM `ad` WHERE 1");

If you have error in mysqli connection the use die after this function like
$conn= mysqli_connect("myhost","myuser","mypassw","mybd")
                     or die("Error " . mysqli_error($conn));// use die here

Read this http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-connect.php

A: Here is the general mySQL DB Connection Process:
<?php
   // Create connection
   $con = mysqli_connect("example.com", "peter", "abc123", "my_db");

   // Check connection
   if ( mysqli_connect_errno( $con ) ) {
      echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
   }
?>

A: I replaced
$conn = mysqli_connect("mydomainename.com:2080", "database_user_in phpmyadmin", "password of my database name", "name of database");

by this:
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "database_user_in phpmyadmin", "password of my database name", "name of database");

but why !!! i have not any idea !! just it worck ... why ???? have anyone any idea about this ????

A: Try this way. I am currently using this method and its working perfect:
<?php

    $server = "localhost";
    $login = "root";
    $pw = "myPassword";
    $db = "myDatabase";

$con = mysql_connect($server, $login, $pw);

mysql_select_db($db, $con);

$qry = "select * from members where Username ='$Username' and Password = '$Password' and Status = 1" ;

    $conQry = mysql_query($qry , $con);

?>

Poll: What Are You Most Looking Forward to Watching This Winter?
I'm back after a much needed vacation. I hope your holidays were as lovely as mine, which included playing host to some visiting family, a luxurious trip to Napa with my wife, and more screeners than you can shake a TiVo remote at.
Yes, we watched a host of DVDs for new and returning television series, including Shameless, Big Love, Lights Out, Episodes, Justified, V, The Chicago Code, Breaking In, Harry's Law, The Cape, and much more. With the Television Critics Association's Winter Press Tour just a few days away, there's still a lot more to get through before the beginning of the twice-yearly critics' gathering.
But I'm curious to know what you were all up to and what upcoming television you're most looking forward to over the next few weeks? Can't wait for the return of those scaly aliens on V? Looking to head down the pub with the Gallaghers on Showtime's Shameless? Tip your hat at Timothy Olyphant's Raylan Givens on Justified? (Which, just an aside, is already off to an outstanding second season, thanks to some deliciously gripping plots and fantastic performances from Margo Martindale and Jeremy Davies.)
Head to the comments section to discuss and debate what you're most looking forward to (television-wise, anyway) this winter.

Samantha Hunter said…
Justifed is definitely at the top of the list, but then also In Plain Sight, and White Collar. Love all of these shows. :)
White Collar, Southland and Justified. And I'm curious about Fairly Legal (almost typed Facing Kate ;).
Jason said…
Shameless, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and Justified. Lots of other good stuff to watch in early 2011... but that's the top 3 for me.
Rebecca said…
Really pumped about the return of V!
Chris Serico said…
Parks and Recreation! (Jabba the Hutt, Jabba the Hutt, Jabba the Hutt, etc.)
TEE said…
I am so excited about Parks and Rec, to me one of the funniest shows on TV and even though I love Community, P&R really is appointment TV for me... I was so irritated with NBC for replacing it with Outsourced and once I saw Outsourced couldn't fathom what they were thinking... The show is funny, smart and probably the most improved from season 1 to 2... I have never seen an episode of Justified but will buy the DVD after hearing so many good things about it...
LizzieJ said…
Just about the entirety of the Masterpiece (PBS) schedule - Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs and Any Human Heart. Oh yeah, and The Bachelor. *cough, cough*
ColumbusRazor said…
I'm so happy that Parks & Rec is returning. That and The Chicago Code are my two must-sees.
Parks and Rec, Lights Out, Justified, Shameless, Fairly Legal.
Sue said…
Justified, White Collar and all of PBS Masterpiece's upcoming schedule - Downton Abbey, Any Human Heart & Upstairs Downstairs.
Being Human (US), Fairly Legal, Big Love, the new season of American Idol.
brian kevin said…
While the premise of The Cape might not be very original, few things actually are these days. What I think will make or break the series is the execution of the concept and how well the writers maintain the juxtoposition of the superhero-y aspects with the central character drama of Faraday's character journey.
I'm looking forward to the series, and hope it finds an audience and is able to stick around longer than one season.
Janetta Cumins said…
Looking foward to The Cape Summer Glau rules!! Good luck to you Summer!
Jon88 said…
Based on what PBS did to "Sherlock," I'm looking forward to the DVD release of "Downton Abbey." Why bother watching the broadcast of 90% of the program?
Okay, I have just (belatedly) read your other piece on "Downton Abbey." I trust you, and will watch.
David said…
Return of Californication and Big Love.
Premieres of Shameless, Lights Out, Episodes and Chicago Code will all get a few watches out of me to see if any stick.
edatur2011 said…
Cannot wait for the following series to kick-in for 2011:
Tied for #1 -- Justified (Timothy Olyphant) and Supernatural (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki).
Don't care about watching any other programming, thank you.

SIENNA MILLER SPOTTED BACK WITH GETTY
Hollywood actress Sienna Miller has reportedly reconciled with ex-boytoy Balthazar Getty, after the couple were spotted enjoying a lunch date in London on Thursday. The wild star has been very romantically linked to the oil heir Getty since early summer when they were seen in Prague in the Czech Republic, on the set of Miller's new movie, "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra."The pair were rumored to have broken up earlier this month, with Miller confirming the break-up shortly afterward. But they now are appearing to have revived the romance, after Getty was photographed joining Miller for a stroll through London's Maida Vale with her dogs on Thursday afternoon. They were later photographed leaving an Italian restaurant and going on to enjoy drinks at the city's exclusive Groucho Club. A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "They looked so much in love. Sienna was clutching Balthazar's hand and giggling as they strolled along together."

Q: DRY-ing up HTML with Angular I have a number of Angular controllers that have the following chunk of code in them (including some more specific stuff that I can't factor out).

  {{title}}

I'm looking to factor all of this out in the most Angular-ist way.  Would that be using a directive?  Also, will the all the controller-specific {{tooltip}} and {{title}} attributes still work, as well as the ng-ifs, if I factor this code out?  Thanks--

A: If you use a directive you'll have to bind the scope with "=" and then things should work. The other way you can do this is to put that into an HTML file and bring it into the application in an ng-include like this:

If you do it with ng-include everything from your controller will bind into it just like normal.

Warrants show Flanagan sought mental health treatment same year as being fired
ROANOKE (WSLS 10) - Search warrants show Vester Lee Flanagan II sought treatment at a mental health facility in 2013, the same year he was fired from the Roanoke TV station of which he shot and killed two crew members during a live broadcast.
Search warrants from the Roanoke City Clerk's Office show Flanagan went for treatment at Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare in 2013. The warrants do not specify if he sought the treatment before or after being fired.
The warrants are also unclear as to what he may have sought treatment for.
Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, who went by the name Bryce Williams on air, was hired at the Roanoke station in April 2012 as a multimedia journalist and general assignment reporter.
The Roanoke Police Department said officers responded to a disorder call, involving Flanagan, at the station February 1, 2013 at 9:07 a.m. When an officer arrived, a station supervisor told the officer that a recently-terminated employee, Flanagan, was refusing to leave and was becoming disorderly.
According to Roanoke police, the officer spoke with Flanagan, who was seated in a chair and attempting to place calls on a company phone. The officer advised Flanagan that he needed to leave the property.
Police say Flanagan began to leave the building, and as he was exiting, yelled "Ya'll are white trash mother [expletive]!" He threw a ball cap and said "And you can keep this piece of [expletive]."
Flanagan asked that he be provided a letter of termination. Roanoke police said the officer walked with Flanagan to the parking lot, where Flanagan waited in his personal car until he was provided paperwork associated with his termination.
Flanagan then left the property with no other issues, police say.
Flanagan was suspected in the killing of two station employees - reporter Alison Parker, 24, and photojournalist Adam Ward, 27. The two were shot at about 6:45 a.m. Wednesday, August 26, 2015 during an interview on live TV near Smith Mountain Lake in Moneta, southeast of Roanoke.
Flanagan fled the scene, but was spotted a few hours later traveling on Interstate 66, in Fauquier County. Flanagan suffered what police said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound and later died at the hospital.

The Stakes
At Standing Rock
Writer Marcus Ellsworth and producer Kasia Mychajlowycz travel to the site of the #nodapl protests in North Dakota
MTV Podcasts mtvpodcasts 12/02/2016
Update: (12/4/16, 8:53 p.m. ET): Sunday evening, the Army Corps of Engineers issued a statement that they will not grant the easement to allow the Dakota Access Pipeline to be run under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. MTV News reached out to Eryn Wise, media coordinator for the Sacred Stone Camp, to get her thoughts on this development. "We're thrilled," she said. "We feel validated in our efforts. Not that we needed validation, but we definitely feel seen and we definitely feel heard. And that's something our people definitely are not used to." Wise said that the water protectors plan to remain in their camps at least through January 1. Wise also made it clear that, even if this is the beginning of the end for the Dakota Access Pipeline, there is no end in sight for this movement. "We're going to go to the next pipeline, and we're going to shut that one down. We're going to keep going, because it is our job to protect this earth and that's what we intend to do." Look for more on this story in next week's edition of "The Stakes."
For months, protesters have been camping out in North Dakota to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, a $3.7 billion project that will transport oil across four states. Supporters state that the pipeline will bring millions of dollars to the area, create jobs, and decrease U.S. reliance on foreign oil; opponents want to protect sacred Standing Rock Sioux sites that pipeline construction could destroy, and worry about potential contamination of the Missouri River if a rupture were to happen. The protest camps have grown to house several thousands of people from all over the country, including members from hundreds of different tribes. Now they're facing pressure from authorities who say everyone must leave the camp by December 5.
MTV News writer Marcus Ellsworth and podcast producer Kasia Mychajlowycz traveled to the Oceti Sakowin Camp, a large allegiance of smaller camps containing an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 people, to talk to water protectors, volunteers, and allies about why they're standing up against the Dakota Access Pipeline, and what they'll do when December 5 rolls around.
Voices featured in this show include Eva Cardenas, André Perez, George Pletnikoff Jr., Andre Nunez, and Liz George.
You can learn more about the mission of the Oceti Sakowin Camp as well as donate to their efforts at ocetisakowincamp.org. To learn more about the Indigenous Peoples Power Project, visit ip3action.org.
This episode of "The Stakes" was produced by Kasia Mychajlowycz, Michael Catano, James T. Green, and Mukta Mohan and is part of the MTV Podcast Network. You can subscribe to our show and other fine MTV Podcasts productions on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify.

What Zardari did not say and did not see
In a lacklustre performance devoid of any fireworks, any depth of vision, commitment or strength of argument, President Asif Ali Zardari went through the motions on Tuesday almost thanking the opposition for their absence so that he could quickly finish the drab show and get back to running the country from his bunker a few yards away.
It was a speech most of which he had read last year, and years before, adding a few odd points at the last minute in a shoddy manner for the galleries like starting off abruptly by asking the UN for condemning the maverick US pastor who had burnt copies of the Holy Quran, instead of dealing with the issue in a serious manner. Full of oft-repeated clichÈs, rhetoric and empty promises, the presidential address was marked more by what he did not say than what he told the nation.
If before he got up to address the joint session he had closed his eyes for a few minutes and had quickly surveyed his three-year reign, he would have seen where he had brought the country. What he missed in his speech, he may have seen with his eyes closed.
Here is a 10-point list of what Zardari missed in his speech but would have realised:
- He has run the country as a one-man show since the day Benazir Bhutto lost her life and left this nation in the hands of someone she had blacklisted from politics and banned from entering Pakistan while she was alive.
- His failure to become a respected national leader with credibility, depth and vision has turned Pakistan almost into an intolerant, wayward and undependable pariah state, despised equally by friends and foes internationally, distrusted by global economic and financial institutions.
- His style and pettiness in politics has earned him no new friends, if there were any in the beginning they are no more, only a coterie of self-seekers and treasure hunters surrounds him, internationally he has not been trusted with any aid money. Even the Kerry-Lugar dollars are tied to strings because of lack of trust.
- His domestic politics is in shambles. Political allies and opponents do not believe a word of what he says, ratings among the masses is remarkably low, within the PPP there is a strong feeling of a mafia controlling the party and al credible leaders have either sidelined themselves voluntarily or have been pushed aside. The party no longer represents the voice of its electorate. Most of his opponents and allies preferred not to listen to him.
- His relations with the courts are at the bottom low and his policy of defiance and confrontation has reached such despicable levels that now even small shopkeepers like one-room cable operators are defying the courts. Where this defiance will take the nation is not hard to imagine as rule of law is being buried day by day and Asif Zardari is leading this mission to demolish the courts. He wants a return to the Dogar era but he does not realise that if he succeeds, the next dictator will use the same court against him and with a vengeance.
- His dealings with the establishment are reduced to blackmailing and threats of using the Sindh Card. Every time there is a sign that the army may support judgments by the independent judiciary, the Sindh Card is waved. Just luckily the army and the security establishment is not yet in a position to strike back but instead of using this weakness to consolidate the political system, Asif Zardari has done everything to insult and humiliate them. Reports that there was some kind of a celebration in the Presidency because the army and ISI were being publicly kicked for the Raymond Davis fiasco have been noted by some politicians, one making a public statement condemning the Presidency.
- His relations with the media are rancorous and based on the policy of buying or bullying. The blatant use of Pemra to shut down all the channels when the entertainment-starved country was waiting for the Pakistan-Australia World Cup match is an example of how low the thinking has gone to punish critics. There is no realisation of the damage such policies may cause to the concept of rule of law and justice. If every one is encouraged to defy the highest of courts, only the principle of might is right may prevail. We all know who has the might when chips are down.
- His attempts to survive and avoid his own accountability have just succeeded to the point of delaying the inevitable. While he did not mention the word corruption in his speech, the SC has to give its final verdict on many of his cases and the judges have hinted that there has to be a limit to their patience. Once it runs out, either Zardari has to submit to the law or push the justice system towards a collapse. Whatever he achieves will not be in his own interest so there is no win-win or win-lose option but only a lose-lose situation.
- His tall claims of bringing billions of dollars and generating local and foreign investment have evaporated into colourless smoke. He now needs a consensus to put the blame on others as well.
- His favours to his cronies have brought him troubles, infamy and at the end humiliation. But the irony is that these cronies will not stand by him. They will be the first to run, leaving him in the dock.
This list can go on and on but when the president spoke in the joint session of parliament, there was no indication of sharing any responsibility or blame. He should have told the nation how he plans to address these wrongs. He did not.
How the nation pays for these gross mistakes and blunders is yet to be assessed but what is certain is that the more time Zardari is given to preside over this disaster, the greater will be the price. Everyone including parliamentarians, political leaders outside the parliament, the media, the courts, the civil society and the guardian of internal and external security must think hard how this price will be paid.
