Q: Python Checking paths to leaf in binary tree python giving data in the leaf Lets say i have this tree:
                                     cough
                      Yes /                            \ No
                   sneezing                        sneezing
               Yes /       \ No                Yes /       \ No
             fever         fever               fever         fever
       Yes /    \ No    Yes/     \No       Yes /    \ No    Yes/     \No
       dead   cold   influenza   cold      dead   influenza cold   healthy

And i want the paths to the illness "influenza"
What the output should be is like this:
[[True,False,True],[False,True,False]]

If you go to right of the root it return True ( Yes ) , if you go to Left its False( No)
This is the code I have been trying to do for this function but im doing something wrong it returns not as i want..
def paths_to_illness(self, illness):

    head=self.__root
    new_list=[]
    new_list=diagnoser.get_path(head,illness)
    return new_list

def get_path(self,head,illness):

    if head is None:
        return []
    if (head.positive_child == None and head.negative_child==None):
        return [head.data]

    left_tree=diagnoser.get_path(head.negative_child,illness)
    right_tree=diagnoser.get_path(head.positive_child,illness)
    all_tree=left_tree+right_tree

    list1=[]

    for leaf in  all_tree:

        if illness == leaf:

            list1.append(["True"])
        else:
            list1.append(["False"])

    return list1

any ideas to help me fix my code? thanks
the diagonser is just a class not important, my node class have the right as "positive_child" and left "negative_child"
if anything else is unclear please let me know
thanks!.
Upon request my code for making the tree:
class Diagnoser:
def __init__(self, root):
    self.__root = root

class Node:
 def __init__(self, data="", pos=None, neg=None):
    self.data = data
    self.positive_child = pos
    self.negative_child = neg

leaf1 = Node("dead", None, None)
leaf2 = Node("cold", None, None)
fever1 = Node("fever", leaf1, leaf2)

leaf3 = Node("influenza", None, None)
leaf4 = Node("cold", None, None)
fever2 = Node("fever", leaf3, leaf4)

sneezing1 = Node("sneezing", fever1, fever2)

leaf5 = Node("dead", None, None)
leaf6 = Node("influenza", None, None)
fever3 = Node("fever", leaf5, leaf6)

leaf7 = Node("cold", None, None)
leaf8 = Node("healthy", None, None)
fever4 = Node("fever", leaf7, leaf8)

sneezing2 = Node("sneezing", fever3, fever4)

root = Node("cough", sneezing1, sneezing2)
diagnoser = Diagnoser(root)

A: Here's what I came up with
class Tree:
  def __init__(self, data, left=None, right=None):
    self.data = data
    self.left = left
    self.right = right

  @property
  def is_leaf(self):
    return not (self.left or self.right)

  def __repr__(self):
    return 'Tree({}, {}, {})'.format(self.data, self.left, self.right)

  def find(self, target, path_to=()):
    if self.is_leaf:
      if self.data == target:
        yield path_to
    else:
      if self.left:
        yield from self.left.find(target, (*path_to, True))
      if self.right:
        yield from self.right.find(target, (*path_to, False))

t = Tree('Cough', Tree('Sneezing', Tree('Fever', Tree('Dead'), Tree('Cold')), Tree('Fever', Tree('Influenza'), Tree('Cold'))), Tree('Sneezing', Tree('Fever', Tree('Dead'), Tree('Influenza')), Tree('Fever', Tree('Cold'), Tree('Healthy'))))

print(list(t.find('Influenza')))

By having our find method be a generator, we can easily bubble positive results up the call stack using yield from.  If you're using a version of Python that doesn't support argument unpacking (*path_to, True), then path_to + (True,) is equivalent
Edit: Here's a version the doesn't use yield
def find(self, target, path_to=()):
  if self.is_leaf:
    if self.data == target:
      return [path_to]
    else:
      return []
  else:
    if self.left:
      l = self.left.find(target, (*path_to, True))
    if self.right:
      r = self.right.find(target, (*path_to, False))
    return l + r

NEW KANTAR DATA REVEALS BIG CHALLENGES FOR UK'S MEAT INDUSTRY
EUROPE MEAT
Kantar has reported that fresh primary meat and poultry struggled to maintain UK shoppers over the 12 weeks to August 8.
The data from Kantar not only continued to compare sales against the big months in 2020, but the removal of restrictions has resulted in more people returning to working in offices and going out for meals, meaning there are a lower number of in-home occasions available to play into.
Spend on fresh primary meat and poultry declined by 10.1% year-on-year, with beef, pork and lamb all contributing to a €165.7 million loss across the category. The drop in beef and pork was due to fewer Brits buying, coupled with fewer trips.
Kantar reported that more than half of the drop in beef sales, in the period, came from beef mince, which lost over 900,000 shoppers compared with the same period last year. Lamb's struggles were again a consequence of falling shopper numbers, where a drop of 12.6% cancelled out a 2% growth in spend per trip.
Chilled fish, on the other hand, Kantar said, was able to generate growth of 4%, resulting in an uplift of €46.7m. Growth was driven by added value fish, with in excess of 900,000 more shoppers choosing to buy this category over the 12 weeks.
The latest figures include the first half of May, which was much cooler on average than last year, as well as July and the start of August when the weather was unpredictable.
This dampened the enthusiasm for summer BBQs and gatherings, and therefore reduced opportunities for sausages, and burgers and grills, which fell by 11.2% and 6% respectively. However, the UK enjoyed a slightly warmer June than last year, which coincided with England's long run in the European Football Championships, as well as a prolonged period of working from home for many. This resulted in plenty more in-home occasions compared to two years ago, delivering growth across the board for meat, poultry and fish.
Although spend across fresh processed meat and poultry has seen double-digit growth over the last two years, along with chilled fish, chilled meat free products have achieved the most notable growth.
Michael Moniz, a Client Manager in Kantar's meat, fish and poultry team, said: "The category has expanded by 70.4% in that time, with product ranges broadening significantly and gaining in popularity as more people reduce the amount of meat in their diets.
"Fresh meat free has seen accelerated growth in the past couple of years, to the point that one in five Brits now follows a meat reducing diet.
"We're also approaching the time when kids return to school, and adults return to their regular routines, which will provide masses of lunchbox occasions for sliced cooked meats and other convenience products to play into."
Meat volume by type
For the 12 weeks to August 8, UK meat sales in the were down 10.1% year-on-year. Key highlights included:
Fresh beef (volume) -13.3%
Fresh lamb (volume) -14.4%
Fresh pork (volume) -10.6%
Fresh chicken (volume) -7.3%
Fresh turkey (volume) -14.6%
Chilled fish (volume) +3.2%
Fresh beef (value) -13.3%
Fresh lamb (value) -11.2%
Fresh pork (value) -13.3%
Fresh chicken (value) -5.9%
Fresh turkey (value) -12.4%
Chilled fish (value) +4%
As reported by Sial Paris Newsroom, previous data from Kantar painted a similarly concerning picture of the UK meat industry this summer.

I am using the TMGeng software to convert the RTV to Mpg and is working great like everyone here on this board says. My ? is I just bought Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator Vr. 6 that allows you to create DVD menus but I heard in the past that Easy CD Creator does not run properly with Video Toaster is this correct? I dont want to install this software if its going to create problems.
You just need to make sure you don't install their packet writing component that allows you to use a CD like a floppy disk, that's the part that will mess up any system that is used for NLE, not limited to the Toaster.

Housing crisis hits Carbondale leader
Ryan Summerlin
rsummerlin@postindependent.com
Despite having recently been displaced from her home with her two teenage children
Ryan Summerlin | Post Independent
Read Katrina Byars' letter to the editor further explaining her situation, her status as a town trustee, and calling attention to the larger housing issue.
Carbondale Trustee Katrina Byars has advocated for affordable housing through much of her two-year tenure on the Board of Trustees. But she didn't know the crisis she was fighting would put her own family out of a home.
Now she might have to choose between her service to the community and giving her family shelter.
Byars, a single mother raising two teenage kids, has lived in the valley all her life. Six years ago she and her children moved into a three-bedroom rental house that offered stability, a footing that led her to run for the town's Board of Trustees in the first place.
The front yard had a large shade tree, and in back were a chicken coop and room for a garden. She put her green thumb to work turning it into a small oasis, and before long she was growing most of her own vegetables for the summer and collecting eggs every morning.
"The yard was in its own way a subsidy, a space that supported our existence. We needed what we had there. And it was hard to let that go," she said.
At $1,575 per month, the rent was still cumbersome, sometimes eating up all of a month's income. But it allowed her family the space they needed.
Her daughter adopted a little mixed-breed dog from Colorado Puppy Rescue and named him Johnny (short for John Lennon). They eventually added two cats to the family.
Over the years she worked numerous jobs, which included getting a successful catering company off the ground.
In 2014 she finished her undergraduate work at Colorado Mountain College with a degree in sustainability. That year Carbondale voters also elected her to the Town Board.
But, like many people wrapping up a bachelor's degree, she overestimated the opportunities waiting in the job market.
Byars said that in the last six months she applied for about 30 jobs. In many cases she's been passed over for applicants with business degrees, and her standards for what she's willing to do have gradually come down.
suddenly displaced
After both of Byars' children spent most of their teenage years in that house, with rental rates climbing almost daily, the owner decided to sell it rather than keep it as a rental. He'd built the house as part of his retirement, and Byars called it a wise decision.
She didn't have any animosity toward the owner. "But our simple life was suddenly dispersed," she said.
With two teenagers in tow, she was soon scrambling for a backup plan — anywhere.
Byars and her teenage kids have been homeless now for a month. Her son is now 18 and set to graduate next month. Her daughter is a 14-year-old high school freshman.
The good grace of a strong community network has kept them from sleeping without a roof. But for much longer, roughing it to hold out for the right housing fit may not be an option.
They had to give Johnny the mutt away. And though some friends have taken the cats in, one of them escapes periodically to venture back to their old house.
The hunt for a new place, the uncertainty of every day, has been exhausting, she said. "Moving my things from place to place has made me tired and defeated."
And, having raised her two kids as a single mother, having never been apart from them for a significant time, they've split up to stay with friends and neighbors.
She said her daughter is staying with a family friend, and her son, trying to take care of himself, has been couch surfing with some of his friends.
"I've been a single mom their whole lives. I've never been away from them," Byars said, fighting back tears.
"My son blames me. In his eyes I failed."
But she savors the nights she can bribe them with a dinner out at the Pour House.
"Not having reliable shelter interferes with so many things — preparing meals, studying for school," she said.
DOORS OPEN NEW DILEMMA
Alongside her children, Byars is also studying, working on a master's in Vermont Law School's environmental law and policy program.
"Where am I going to stay tonight" comes before "how am I going to complete my assignment," she said.
A couple nights she's gone not knowing if she had a place to stay that night until late in the evening.
Recently, they might have found a breakthrough. After weeks of house hunting, Byars found an efficiency apartment that's scaled far back from the house they were in.
The $700-per-month place is tiny but perfect; it allows pets, she said. There's just one problem.
The street it's on is also Carbondale's town limit, and the apartment is on the wrong side. She submitted an application for the apartment, and if she's approved and takes it, she will be disqualified from serving on the Board of trustees.
It's possible that the apartment is affordable precisely because it's outside of town limits, said Byars. One street over and it might not be affordable anymore.
FIGHTING ON
The affordable housing issue is complicated, but part of the problem is that you cannot build an inexpensive house in Carbondale, she said.
"One builder told me that to build the same house inside the town limits as outside increases the cost of construction by $50,000."
In the mean time she's still looking for a place inside town limits, wanting to continue her service on the board.
And while searching for a home for her family and interviewing for dozens of jobs that don't necessarily require a college degree, Byars has been showing up to trustee meetings to continue pushing the town toward solutions.
"I feel my situation is a very public example of a housing crisis that is happening to all of us," she said.
Byars said when she applies for a rental, her competition includes teachers, police officers and the town's critical employees, who are in much the same circumstance.
"The pattern we're seeing has already been played out in other places; the people who can't access loan money are not included in the community's future," she said.
But leaving the Board of Trustees wouldn't necessarily be the end of her political activity.
Carbondale has plenty of other opportunities to instigate change, and after she's done with her master's, Byars plans to run for higher office — though she wouldn't pin her ambition to a specific office.
She would only say that if she can stay on the Board of Trustees, her term would end in 2018 — when there will also be elections for Carbondale mayor, Garfield County commissioner and Colorado governor.

Join this webinar and learn why every university should have an angel network and how to organize one.
Over the last decade, most universities have created entrepreneurship and startup programs, but few have taken the next step and created a university-based angel network to help students, faculty, researchers and alumni fund those startups. Angel investors are high-worth individuals who fund and mentor startups. Having a university-based angel network brings these investors to the university to help develop and fund university startups.
This webinar is co-organized with Kent State University's College of Business Administration.
ABOUT THE WEBINAR SERIES: Building a Startup Nation is a webinar series organized by the National Council of Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer (NCET2). This series aims to bring to light that startups are often an under-appreciated part of the national economy. Yet, the national startup ecosystem creates almost all the net new jobs and national innovation produces half the economic growth. This series highlights the players in the startup economy in an attempt to provide a greater understanding of their important roles. It will highlight the entrepreneurs, students, researchers and universities attempting to build a startup nation, along with the angel investors, VCs and Fortune 500 attempting to finance it.


Participants run up either the shorter or the taller ramp. This is a great introduction for beginners or younger participants to practice on before trying the Warped Wall. They can start on the shorter one, building technique and confidence and then move onto the taller one.

The FRIENDS for Life project is an evidence-based early intervention and prevention program developed in Australia and supported by the World Health Organization to prevent and intervene in the development of anxiety and depression in children and youth. Working together with the Dartmouth Community Health Board, the IWK Health Centre, Public Health Services, Schools Plus and the Boys & Girls Club, they will offer the Friends for Life Program training to staff at local schools.
The "Fun Friends" and "Friends for Life" anxiety prevention program for children and youth will fill the gap in services recognized by both the school district and local mental health centre. This program will help children and youth manage the effects of anxiety and build resilience and will directly benefit teachers, support workers, community workers, counsellors and parents.
This is a joint project between Crossroads ACES members and the Cape Breton Mental Health Foundation. The ACES of Crossroads Cape Breton consists of members between 19 and 30 years of age who live with mental illness. The Foundation will use its grant to open and provide access to a media centre which will create new training and educational opportunities for clients in various fields of interest. The goal is to provide support in helping clients develop new skills and access work opportunities.
This Anxiety Prevention/ Intervention Program for Children and Youth will fill the gap in services that both the school district and mental health centre recognize as being needed for children and youth with anxiety. Bringing the program to the community will assist children and youth manage symptoms of anxiety and build resiliency. This project will directly impact children, youth, their teachers, support workers, community workers, counsellors and parents.
The College will train approximately 6 Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) facilitators so they can teach MHFA to both the college community and the community at large.
The Prince Edward Island Fire Service will train approximately 800 volunteer firefighters in an introductory overview of Critical Incident Stress (CIS) - to create an awareness of CIS so that firefighters would be aware of, more receptive to, and act upon personal and peer signals of Critical Incident Stress. This program will address cultural barriers that prevent fire fighters from seeking help for symptoms of chronic and single event stress and prepare fire fighters.
The aim of this project is to bring three Mental Health First Aid workshops to their community including one in French. This will allow the organization to build capacity surrounding mental health issues in the community. Specifically, providing the workshops will improve the front line services offered to people experiencing mental health issues. In addition, they will also provide a current data bank of mental health services and resources available locally to the participants.


World War II showed Cebuano bravery through numerous battles. One of these happened in a place the locals call "Little Bataan." This was how it got its name according to Colonel Manuel F. Segura, the Cebuano war hero and adjutant of the legendary Colonel James Cushing of the Cebu Area Command.
"In one of the Japanese attacks during that first week of December 1942, Lt. Rogaciano Espiritu and his men at Junior Corregidor exchanged fire with the Japanese who were lined up on the opposite ridge. The enemy was superior in number and firepower, so Espiritu thought of creating a diversion. Deciding on the best man for the job, he called Lt. Severo Mabini and asked him about the possibility of going around the enemy's flank and attacking them from the rear. Looking over the familiar terrain, Mabini made a quick estimate and told his commander that he thought it possible and was willing to try.
"With this platoon, Mabini moved behind the cover of Junior Corregidor on his left and took trail that led to the enemy's right flank. However, when they were going down the nose of the hill, the platoon was hit by a barrage of mortar and machinegun fire. They rolled, crawled and slid downhill in their hurry to get away from the enemy fire, until they hit the bottom where they were for the moment out of sight of the enemy and relatively safe.

Louis Leterrier's Awesome Idea for a Summer of The Avengers
Source: Hero Complex
Now this you need to hear! Geoff Boucher of Hero Complex recently talked with director Louis Leterrier on the set of Clash of the Titans recently. As you hopefully already know, Leterrier last directed the newest Incredible Hulk movie, which was much more well-received than Ang Lee's Hulk. Although he doesn't know yet if he'll be back for another Hulk sequel, he does want to work with Marvel again (and is contracted to do another movie for them anyway). "I would love to do the Avengers film. I'd love to work with Marvel again. I loved working with them." There's a lot more to it than that, just listen to this idea, it might be brilliant.
I'll tell you my real dream: To work with Joe Johnston and ["Thor" director] Kenneth Branagh and Jon Favreau and make like a triptych. We do four movies. We release them one a month for the summer. Or even every two weeks or three weeks. And the whole summer would be Avengers summer. So we do it the way they make television shows. One story arc but told in installments by different directors. So all of the directors that touch part of the Avengers world would do a part; we could make the movies shorter, maybe less than an hour and a half, and we use the same sets and save Marvel money. I would love to sit around a table with all of them a kick around the story. That's my dream.
Now wouldn't that be awesome to see? I doubt it'll ever happen, not only because the cost is just way too much for Marvel, but I don't know if Paramount (who releases their movies) can handle a distribution pattern like that. Plus, if each movie isn't at least 90 minutes long, I think audiences would hate paying for four tickets when they're not getting a full movie each time at that price. But man, if they could pull this off, it would just be incredible. This is the kind of future of comic book movies I'm very excited to see, not 3D, not hybrid CGI, but movies that are just like comic books themselves, a truly cinematic representations.
This reminds me about something Kevin Feige once said (though I can't remember exactly where/when he said this) about how he hoped that comic book movies would one day mirror comics as well. His examples were crossovers, where you never know who might show up in the next issue that's out this week, and that other superheros could just pop up in movies that weren't their own. And if you apply that to what Leterrier said, well, we get new comics every month, wouldn't it be cool if we also got new movies every month? At least for one summer at a time, that is. This would take a lot of time and effort, but it would be awesome.
"People will get bored seeing the same superhero movie every summer. If we change the concept and package it differently, then we do something really original then people get excited." I think Leterrier is on to something here. What do you think? Could this work? Would you go see four Avengers movies?

I was on-board until he mentioned the movies could be less than an hour and a half. Movie theaters aren't going to charge you any less for a shorter movie. If I'm going to pay the outrageous movie prices, I'm going to see an entire movie. I like the idea of releasing one movie a month. Two weeks is entirely too soon. I know people who wait at least two weeks before going to see a movie, out of fear of hitting crowds and (therefore) running the risk of sitting in a theater with some assholes who make the movie experience less than satisfactory. One month, minimum. Kick off May with a movie, then end in August with the finale. It would be like a comic story arc. If more movies are required to make a huge project like Avengers work then so be it. Don't ruin a possible blockbuster franchise by trying to squeeze too much into one movie.
Chris H. on Aug 9, 2009
Holy shit. This is a great idea. A film lover's wet dream.
Angry Chief on Aug 9, 2009
its not a bad idea
cat on Aug 9, 2009
although it sounds like no one is buying it with the way he's talking about "his dream".
OH MY GOD!!! This is an excellent idea!! I think this could work if each movie was like 1 hr 25 mins to 1 hr 40 mins. Movies are getting shorter and comic books are not as long actual novels so i would make sense for the movies to be shorter if they were all focused on a single story. I really hopes this happens but have some doubts. CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!
Jake Sully on Aug 9, 2009
I'm sorry, but from a completely practical viewpoint, this could end up being a complete disaster, and a financial fiasco for both Marvel and Paramount. It's too risky. What happens if they put out the first chapter and it's huge in its first weekend because of all the hype about this 4-part story arc, but then people go to see it and it's crap? Then we have a huge drop-off in the second weekend, and forget about the other three films. Four parts is just too much, especially over a 4-month span. Sure, the hardcore fans of the comics and superheroes will probably go to see all four, but as for the general moviegoing public? It's a tough sell. It's a tough sell for both the audience and the studio, because a level of quality has to be set with the first film and maintained through the other three that will get people in theaters to generate a healthy revenue stream for the life of this arc. And that consistent quality becomes even harder to achieve when you have four different directors on the project. It's an innovative idea, and it's good to see people in the industry thinking outside the box. At the same time, I fear it's one that is just too financially risky, especially in today's economy.
inspiredefined on Aug 9, 2009
This wouldnt work You would have to see the first to see the 2nd and so on and so on. This would be a nightmare for the casual movie goer. say someone just wants to go see a movie and they decide on the 3rd installment not knowing that its part 3 of a story. they would be so confused. Plus the only people who are gunna see all 4 of them are gunna be fanboys which means big opening weekend than you fall off the radar.
PJ H on Aug 9, 2009
Sounds enticing, but ultimately terrible. I don't know why, it just sounds bad to me.
Marty Martin on Aug 9, 2009
pretty much news reels but with movies. Sounds good on paper but terrible overall. I'll have to consider this a stupid idea in general.
teyhtr on Aug 9, 2009
I'm down for this, but only if the movies were all full length movies. This should really happen. I'm loving all this progressive thinking towards movies these days.
Dan W on Aug 9, 2009
It's a great idea... provided Louis Leterrier isn't one of the directors involved.
simple simon on Aug 9, 2009
I agree with Chris (#3) two parts at the ends of summer is more feasable to the audience. If he wants 4 shorter movies by four directors make em both double-features like Grindhouse. No need fake trailers. Batman and watchmen were 2 1/2 hours so 3 is not unreasonable for two well-paced movies. If you must make 4 movies tack on a 20-30 minute short film featuring minor characters or whatnot AND make it 2 summers of Avengers... or the whole year! If a film is great it the box office will follow. Look at Harry Potter, they waited for summer and it's barely doing as good as the Fall potters. (BTW it would've made more cause there was no huge movie last Nov-Dec and this summer was too busy)
Akirakorn on Aug 9, 2009
Sounds amazing! Too bad DC is better.
Nick on Aug 9, 2009
I am sorry but no movie should be shorter then 2 hours it gives enough information about the characters, and their motives and also leaves room for minor characters to develop with the main one. I don't think i have seen a good hour and thirty min. movie lately. look at XMen3 and Wolverine.
Movieguy on Aug 9, 2009
screw that. Just put them all together and have 1 movie that's 7 hours long! Marvel blows, DC 4 life!!! haha.
In_rainbows on Aug 9, 2009
Great idea but it would have to be 1 movie every summer. There is no other way it would happen.
Kevin on Aug 9, 2009
So much win!
JT on Aug 9, 2009
Not a bad idea... I'd rather see one epic 3 hour movie though.
Syphous on Aug 9, 2009
This is exactly what the movies were way back when. There were multi-part serials that told one story in many parts. Though it would be risky considering people dropping off if they didn't like the first. The idea is stellar and in a more conventional world it could work. I just hope more ideas like this are brought up in the future, and just maybe we could have a plethora of things worth going to see at the movies as opposed to remake after remake. We'll see...
Thinking Man on Aug 9, 2009
Yes, I would definitely see all of the films. A brilliant idea indeed, however. If the running time is shorter than 90 minutes for each film, Paramount should try to seal a distribution deal where each ticket is a max of $8 or something like that, or set up a system where you can pay $30 to see all four films - a type of all-access pass if you will. If this goes through, it could really change (improve?) the entire summer movie sequel formula.
Keith on Aug 9, 2009
What they should do is release the normally planned Avengers movie and then a 2nd movie straight to dvd about a month later. It would let you test the waters on this kind of idea w/o committing as much capital and would be an industry first to get everyone excited.
Zac on Aug 9, 2009
i say go the way of The Matrix: Reloaded and Revolutions each a little over 2 hours long and released 5 months apart this would save people a lot of money, make the length of the films great and leave you open and wanting the second. Plus you can always switch up the director... if that is a good idea.
DoomCanoe on Aug 9, 2009
The idea sounds like superhero movie overkill to me.
Leo on Aug 9, 2009
Great idea. It'll never happen though.
1001 on Aug 9, 2009
Wow, that is a genius idea for Hollywood to make more money!!! You'll have to pay FOUR TIMES the normal amount for short movies!!! *rolls eyes*
Tra la la la la di da on Aug 9, 2009
This is the kind of thing that should have been done for Watchmen - 3x 2hour films. Would be great to see if it could be pulled off, give some leeway for comic book films in the future. .....However, I doubt they (the studios) will allow this. I believe they release one film of a series a year (usually 2 years), so that by the time the next one comes out, you'll have forgotten how bad the last one was, and be tempted to see the sequel. It also gives them time to see how well box office reception was and see if they need to sign a new contract with someone else, or keep everyone from the last piece of CGI-IN-YOUR-FACE-NO-STORYLINE-HYPED-UP-CRAP. just my opinion...
chris on Aug 10, 2009
This idea is quite similar to Communism...works on paper, but....
Scagginsvolley on Aug 10, 2009
They should make a movie with all the heroes and comics shit, i'm talking about superman+hulk+spider-man+thor+batman+all the rest coz i can't remember the others, give it a budget of 700-800 mils, 3 directors like cameron+bay+aranofsky,plus 2 brilliant screenwriters, make it 3hr long and that's it. it.
qweqwu on Aug 10, 2009
Keep Dreaming alex
Sancho on Aug 10, 2009
I like the idea, as long as the movies are 90 minutes and are good!
Stuart Mellor on Aug 10, 2009
the latest hulk had obvious flaws so bad its not been mentioned in this avengers has it?? and why come out and say this which implies going to the theatre 4 x for essentially the same movie, peoples concentration spans are getting shorter. ill go to 1 or 2 then watch the rest on dvd myself- for me it doesnt work as a theory.
muggins on Aug 10, 2009
It can be possible if they use similar technology as in "Beowulf" (2007) or the upcoming "TinTin".!!!!
Lucky on Aug 10, 2009
Yeah.... triptych is 3 movies (TRIcycle, TRIangle) and he talked about 4....
Josh on Aug 10, 2009
wow, it's different, it's risky and everything has a high lvl of risk also has high rewards
Blue & Orange NY on Aug 10, 2009
great idea, but with the long lead times needed and the risk involved it will never happen. two movies that are related to each other in some way - but not necessarily integral to each other or two parts of the same story - is all we can hope for. Each film has to stand on its own to pull in the average person - non fanboy - so this won't happen. I give Louis props for dreaming big.
Matt on Aug 10, 2009
as amazing as it sounds i dont think this will work, hell i am all for it but it seems like a big idea but wrong time. but we will see
splinter on Aug 10, 2009
I'm with #29... If ya'll remember Band of Brothers, it was a great show, but in my opinion severely flawed by having so many different directors trying to tell the same story. I think a directors POV is ultimately the most important thing to making a story flow and in the end I really hope that one of these Marvel movie directors gets the Avenger movie and is able to make it how he sees fit. It'd be awesome if the other guys got to contribute in respect to their superheroes, but we really only need one movie for now by a director that has the chops cough*John Favreau*cough to see this powerhouse franchise through with all of these big name actors in one movie (and hopefully many sequels). Also on a sidenote, have you seen the five minutes of Iron Man on youtube and how awkward does Samuel L look as Nick Fury when he actually has to act for more than 30 secs at the end of the credits. I'm worried about him (Cheadle looked awesome though IMO).
nawwww on Aug 10, 2009
It sounds crazy but I think producers may give the whole idea a chance... maybe one or two meetings to talk mostly about costs... if they find a way to make it "budget smart", we might just get our Avengers Summer...
Dreckent on Aug 10, 2009
not an awesome idea for me. 4 films will make it too episodic. and lets face it, some directors are better than others. you'll likely love some but end up loathing the others since you can't help but compare them to each other. i rather have a 3 hour epic or a matrix reloaded/revolution style 2 parter
CL on Aug 10, 2009
and #39 i agree a little bit. Samuel with the eye patch is fine but does he always have to wear a black leather trench coat?
@9 correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Lord of the rings do this? just a year apart. Why not this?
John Knox on Aug 10, 2009
Wow that would be so awesome. I am tiring of the superhero movie in general, but recently have been enjoying the cross-over stuff in Marvel movies, namely Iron Man and Increditble Hulk. This is one great idea.
Mark Drennan on Aug 10, 2009
Kwel idea but I would want them to be 2hrs. I hate the 90 min movies. It isn't TV so make it long. Plus if I am paying $15 fucking dollars to see it. Yea That movie best be longer then 90 mins. *Plink Plink*
AllmightyKeim on Aug 10, 2009
#8 & #9 You guys are so off it is unbelievable!!!!! #8 - Haven't the success of G.I. Joe and Transformers 2 and Wolverine this summer alone taught us that people will go see ANYTHING if it A) Is a big budget blockbuster B) Has a proper hype machine behind it. You are talking about drop - offs...most blockbusters make all their money in the first weekend anyway so if there are major drops in the following weeks that is NORMAL. And also let's not worry about quality....with these directors and talents and characters attached to these films do we really think that ay of them would honestly be CRAP!!!!?? Even if the fanboys didn't like them...as we never do...the general public would accept them....see the aforementioned films above for proof! #9 - Oh Please....as #43 said, we did have a little movie series called Lord of the Rings that has already covered this...and what about another little movie series called Star Wars!!!! Series can make their moeny just fine and can get people to see them without being in the fanboy loops I say these studios should at least go for having characters make, at least cameo, appearances in the films of others....NOT ALL THE TIME...but sometimes would be very cool. The Marvel film world is getting huge and to do something like this would be fun and interesting for all of us
Jay on Aug 10, 2009
My opinion is this should only be done in two parts. Part one maybe in late May. Part two maybe in July or August. (You can change exact dates to dodge or exploit other studios' releases). If the Part 1 is great, at least it will have most of the summer to make money. If the Part 1 is bad, at least Marvel will have most of the summer to regroup. If the Part 2 is great, then fantastic. Because it will also bump up interest for the Part 1. If Part 1 was great, Part 2 will benefit. This means it is feasible that Part 1 is pulled back into the Top 6 the weekend Part 2 opens. If the Part 2 is bad, then, what the hell, it's at the tail end of the chain anyway, at least the risk is over and Marvel would probably still make it because it's like a one-and-a-half-budget-movie getting two opening weekends. Of course if Marvel botches it all up then both will tank, but at least it would have only spent enough money for "one and a half" movie... Think about cutting a 198-200 minute movie down the middle. So I say... Might be OK idea but only in 2 parts.
SS on Aug 10, 2009
Oh and the gap is also necessary so that trailers for Part 1 can air 3 months before May... and then you kind of surprise people by airing trailers for Part 2 starting around mid-June. The official web-sites and posters can all be "flipped" starting Mid-June or so and you can count on sites like this one to ring all the bells.
I think the only way this would work is if they release part four before part one, part three before part two, and the super secret double director's cut release before the regular dvd/blu-ray... If they did it this way it would play like a Tarantino movie, and thus would be AWESOME. IN FACT, AWESOME WOULD THINK THIS IS AWESOME!
Frank N. Stein on Aug 10, 2009
yeah this is the future of those comic characters from the pages , then the silver screen, maybe influence the realization of man kinds ultimate realty. this has to happen and it has to not suck otherwise it will al be ruined . MAKE IT HAPPEN !!!!
sure winner on Aug 11, 2009
I think this is a great idea, but there's no need for it to all be summer movies. Start out at the beginning of the year, or even the beginning of the summer, and have the last one at Christmas. I would expect all of them to be at LEAST 90 minutes, but really, longer. There's SO MUCH story to these characters, that to really get them right, with the backstory and the action and the development, you HAVE to allow each character/movie's arc to be long enough to develop an entire story. They should be episodic, BUT they should also be stand-alone. If novelist can do it, screen writers can too. I would LOVE to see something like this, and the requisite games and toys and other revenue streams this would generate, along with a reviatalizing of the comic industry, should motivate Marvel (and DC) to really take a look at this concept and see how they can make it work. I'd LOVE these movies to be "grown-up" comic movies, too, like TDK. I'm tired of everything being watered down "for the children".
RStewie on Aug 12, 2009
I think it would be cool if they make the thor and captin america movie 1st and end it in a way that it conects and matches with the Hulk and IronMan movie. Like how the hulk when robert apporch the general about forming a team and Ironman movie starks keep making way to get richer lol. Have a simalur but different end for Thor and C.A. Then come out with the AVENGER's MOVIE.

Q: Always Display Child Pages on Parent Pages and Child Pages PHP MySQL I have a problem with my code. What is the best way to display all sub pages for a parent page regardless of whether or not you are viewing the parent or child pages? If a different parent is chosen, then the child pages of the previously selected parent should be hidden.
All pages have a id vairable in the URL that is available using $_GET['id'].
My MYSQL DB looks like this.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `pages` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `title` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `parent` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=8;

With the code I have currently, the child pages display if you are on the parent page, but as soon as you jump to any of the child pages, the child pages disappear.
$gParents = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM db.pages WHERE parent = 0');

while($parents = mysql_fetch_assoc($gParents))
{
    echo ''.$parents['title'].'
';

    $qChilds = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM db.pages WHERE parent = '.$parents['id'].' AND parent = '.$_GET['id']);

    while($childs = mysql_fetch_assoc($qChilds))
    {
        echo ''.$childs['title'].'
';
    }
}

A: perhaps I can try to understand your question using an example. Consider, your table has the following records:
id title parent
1  a     0
2  b     0
3  c     0
4  a1    1
5  a2    1
6  b1    2
7  c1    3
8  c2    3
9  c3    3

Your above code will generate an output like this in the first run, i.e. a list of all parent categories and their child categories:
a
  a1
  a2
b
  b1
c
  c1
  c2
  c3

Your requirement is that if someone clicks on a parent category, say "a", it should show only a's child categories and hide all child categories of "b" and "c". Right?
Additionally, if someone clicks on the child category, it should still show the same result as if someone clicked on the parent page.
If my understanding on your requirement is correct, you can fix your code by passing the parent-id instead of child-id in the child-link, as indicated below:
$gParents = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM db.pages WHERE parent = 0');
while($parents = mysql_fetch_assoc($gParents))
{
    echo ''.$parents['title'].'
';

    $qChilds = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM db.pages WHERE parent = '.$parents['id'].' AND parent = '.$_GET['id']);

    while($childs = mysql_fetch_assoc($qChilds))
    {
        echo ''.$childs['title'].'
';
    }
}

As a sidenote, if it isn't absolutely required, perhaps it will make sense to not give any link on the child categories?
Hope the above helps!

To be successful the French Peace Initiative must be based on international law and human rights
ActivismNewsOpinion
Shawan Jabarin on January 13, 2017 39 Comments
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. (Photo: Kobi Gidon/GPO)
On Sunday, 15 January, members of the international community will convene in Paris for the "Middle East Peace" conference, which according to its mandate seeks to "fully [end] the Israeli occupation that began in 1967." The conference marks the culmination of French efforts, beginning in June of last year, to revive the failed Palestinian-Israeli peace process and salvage the two-state solution — a solution the international community has been publicly wedded to irrespective of Israel's intent and implemented policies as demonstrated by the "facts on the ground."
While I commend the French, how can this be different in both substance and outcome than previous efforts? First, the international nature of the Middle East Peace conference is a welcome departure from the US-centered peace process, which prioritized politics over justice. Further, while some criticism has been raised that neither Palestinian nor Israeli officials will be at the conference, the previous bilateral negotiations framework has created a false pretense of power symmetry and unjustly equalizes the roles of Israel, the Occupying power, and Palestinians, the occupied protected population.
To be clear, foreign powers should not determine the fate of the Palestinian people; however, the approach of overlooking international law and respective duties and obligations, including that of third parties, has failed. These processes resulted in the signing of the PLO-Israel Interim Agreements 1995 (Oslo Accords), which while established as interim agreements on the path to a durable peace, have only served to further consolidate Israel's control over occupied Palestinian territory. Under the guise of negotiated peace, Israel increased settlement activity, isolated East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank, transformed the Gaza Strip into an open-air prison, while continuing to violate basic principles of international law and Palestinian rights.
Learning from history, there must be a change in approach for any just solution to be achieved. Namely, principles of international law and human rights standards, as recognized by various United Nations resolutions, including the most recent Security Council resolution, must form the basis for discussions during the conference, any future negotiations between the parties, and any just and lasting resolution to the conflict.
On this basis, the international community should use the upcoming conference as an opportunity to determine what role they have played in sustaining and enabling the occupation. Do they sell settlement goods in their domestic markets? Do their aid projects in the Occupied Palestinian Territory either cement Israeli policies or bear costs that should be on Israel as the Occupying Power? Have they taken steps to end Israel's non-compliance with international law, including by participating in various United Nations mechanisms? Palestinians cannot be expected to return to the negotiating table while Israel continues to act with impunity and the world stands idly by.
The time has come to take on a new approach with Israel; one based on justice and law, and ensures the unsustainability of Israel's continued occupation of Palestinian land. The passage of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 (2106) provides those participating in the Middle East Peace conference, and the international community as a whole, with the opportunity to take appropriate action. The resolution reaffirms the illegality of the settlements under international law and the demands that Israel cease all settlement activity in the Occupied Palestinian Territory including East Jerusalem. If Israel continues to disregard international law and fails to comply with this resolution – a certainty given Israel's habitual non-compliance with previous United Nations resolutions – it should face punitive actions for non-compliance.
Tried and tired approaches will not yield new results. With the occupation entering its 50th year, it is time for the international community to learn from the failures of previous peace and negotiation processes that have facilitated Israel's continued violations of international law and denied Palestinians their fundamental right to self-determination. It is time to take concrete actions that will stop Israel in its tracks.

What does the French leadership think they are gaining, will gain about their sponsorship of this conference? Why is my gut reaction this a bad joke? What will US do now at this conference post-toothless UN resolution stating settlements are illegal obstacles? Obama? Kushner? Who will the US send to it, and will they even join in the spirit of the conference other than in the usual BS words? Who all will be there? Brexit Brits? Overwhelmed Germany? Have the Danes got a new pair of shoes, etc? What will Putin add?
annie on January 13, 2017, 4:43 pm
Why is my gut reaction this a bad joke?
probably partly because the author doesn't sound very enthusiastic about the conference. but i read last week (pardon me for not doing a search but i know i tweeted it and/or mentioned it in the comments) that there will be another vote at the UN directly after the conference and at the conference there will be some discussion and agreement regarding the wording of resolution. i imagine it won't be the very same resolution (what would be the point?) but sort of an extension of it, possibly with some teeth this time. with some repercussions spelled out in the resolution. let's hope anyway. and this worries israel greatly, that's my understanding.
and just to be clear, i find it no coincidence whatsoever this is timed just days before obama leaves office. the conference, and the vote afterwards. let's see if he can abstain a second time, or even vote yeah. now that's exciting. a possible double wammy.
i'm excited about the possibilities.
Thanks Annie, I didn't know about another vote at the UN directly after the conference. I share your hope/excitement. Netanyahu's worried about Obama acting again B4 he leaves: http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/12/it-aint-over-yet-israelis-worried-about-more-obama-un-moves/
amigo on January 14, 2017, 7:38 am
Annie , not sure if you had seen this from Times of Israel , (ergo take it with a grain of salt ) but it might be legit.The devil is in the details !!!, "The us says it will veto any res that is critical of Israel", so that does not leave much scope.
We can live in hope.
http://www.timesofisrael.com/white-house-obama-will-veto-any-other-un-resolution-critical-of-israel/
Misterioso on January 14, 2017, 1:39 pm
Agreed. The winds of change are blowing. People around the world, including Americans and righteous Jews everywhere, are increasingly disgusted with and enraged at Israel for its well documented ongoing dispossession, illegal/brutal occupation and oppression of Palestine's native inhabitants, including violations of hard won international humanitarian law, e.g., the UN Charter, the Fourth Geneva, the Rome Statutes, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, etc., which are binding on all UN members.
pabelmont on January 14, 2017, 1:59 pm
Well, if there's another UNSC vote, let Obama vote away,. Cannot be worse than Trump (unless he has not yet seated a UN Rep !)
The resolution should indeed formulate its goals based on I/L and human rights laws and concepts. Right. (like the goals of BDS, but "shhh").
However, the resolution must also find the way forward to "sanctions". If Chapter 7 UNSC is vetoed, then the sanctions may have to be voluntary and spotty, spotty in time as well as per country applying them. But they should start soon. If EU dissolves then its countries would be able to take individual F/P actions again and there might be progress there.
But any country which applies (institutes) sanctions must — like the UNSC Res. — state the purpose of the sanctions clearly so that it will be clear when they should terminate (or be increased).

Norman Finkelstein pointed out that more important to what a resolution says, or how many teeth it has, is what the Palestinians do with it. Israel built its state on the toothless Balfour declaration and the toothless U.N. General Assembly partition resolution #181.
Palestinians have to learn how to make political capital out of what resolutions and other documents that they have. There are many UNSC resolutions withl ots of good words supporting Palestinians, but they sit there and are almost never mentioned. The 2004 International Court of Justice Judgement is sitting there and the Palestinians almost never mention it. UNSC #2334 has some quite strong language. Now it is up to the Palestinians to convert those words into political capital.
Note that this must be done by Palestinians, not it international supporters whose role must be limited to supporting Palestinians and maybe amplifying their voice.
Blownaway on January 15, 2017, 1:27 am
Anything without teeth is meaningless. It's that simple. The Israelis are masters at shrugging off resolutions that don't have any enforcement. There have been dozens of resolutions statements to no effect because there is no sanctions. As one minister said these countries won't sacrifice our high tech for the Palestinians

Citizen, Annie,
This is the sequence:
– Sunday: Paris Conference
– Monday: Brussels, EU Council of Foreign Affairs
– Tuesday: open debate at the SC: http://www.un.org/en/sc/inc/pages/pdf/pow/powmonthly.pdf
thanks dutch, and everyone who responded. since i wrote that comment there have been reports the french have no intention of formulating a new resolution, see
France says no plans for UN resolution after peace confab
http://www.timesofisrael.com/france-says-no-plans-for-un-resolution-after-peace-confab/
Gerard Larcher said he was not aware of any country working on a resolution to put before the Council between the January 15 meeting and the inauguration of Donald Trump as US president on January 20.
and amigo, yes i am aware "us says it will veto any res that is critical of Israel ". still i think there may be ways around that, for example simply upgrading palestine's status at the UN doesn't require criticizing israel. but it would place palestine in an enhanced position in future dealings with the UN, on their own or in conjunction with the EU or other future mediating countries should palestine (finally) reject US "help" — and this israel would certainly consider a threat.
and just because france says they have no plans of working on a resolution, doesn't mean something might not just crop up over the course of the conference that might be addressed the following day at the UN.
Especially, considering this sneer: Israel tells France: We oppose your peace initiative on Jan 15, won't attend international conference in Paris http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.751541
Kay24 on January 13, 2017, 8:59 pm
If it comes down (and it should) to international laws and human rights, then we can all assume that these talks, like so many others will be a totally failure…..Israel does not abide by international laws, and as for it's record on human rights violations, it is so dismal and shockingly bad for the only real democracy in the ME. France will mean well like other nations to bring some peace in that region, but how can you deal with a side that has shown it prefers the status quo, which is far more beneficial to it? Israel wants more land for their squatters, and to keep wielding power over those they hold under siege. They are masters of justifying their crimes.
inbound39 on January 14, 2017, 5:48 am
This Conference has the potential to bring the Occupation to an end. If all involved parties hold Israel accountable and holds it to International Law and its obligation to abide and comply with it then consequences must be spelt out. Non compliance must incur sanctions and travel restrictions on Israeli's in member state countries. Trade embargoes and Israeli embassy shutdowns.There can be no pussyfooting if it is to be effective…no grey areas. No semantics….Israel's favourite game move. If America does not join in as I expect then it is of little consequence. Europe et al have the ability to shut down Israel if they hold together in unity. Unity is the key.
It all comes down to if and when the international community stops acting like naive children and admit that they are being taken for a good long ride by the devious occupier. It is time they realized that Israel is running a big con game, and have given far too many excuses, turned down bribes to get to a peace table, and keeps blaming the Palestinians, implying they want to live without freedom. It is time those who can turn this around admitted that there are ways to help the Palestinians, and must stop pandering to Israel, and ignore its threats and cries of victim.
Give the Palestinians their statehood and recognize their rights, and if Israel does not like that stop their aid and start the boycotts and sanctions – that will definitely hit them where it hurts most.
The more momentum, the more likely Israel will be dragged before the ICJ and charged.
I still find it a long shot…….when Zionism really gets a head of steam up it will be like 1939 all over again. All that needs to happen is for the Conference to amount to nothing and for America to shift its embassy to Jerusalem….explosions will follow.

RE: "Learning from history, there must be a change in approach for any just solution to be achieved… On this basis, the international community should use the upcoming conference as an opportunity to determine what role they have played in sustaining and enabling the occupation… Do their aid projects in the Occupied Palestinian Territory either cement Israeli policies or bear costs that should be on Israel as the Occupying Power?" ~ Shawan Jabarin
FOR EXAMPLE, SEE: "US Funds Apartheid Roads on West Bank" ~ by Mel Frykberg, Inter Press Service, 5/24/10
[EXCERPT] RAMALLAH – The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is helping Israel to construct an apartheid road infrastructure in the occupied Palestinian West Bank by financing nearly a quarter of the segregated road system primarily for the benefit of Israeli settlers.
USAID's figures state that the agency has financed 235 km of roads in the West Bank in the past decade, and is preparing to add another 120 km by the end of this year, reported Nazareth-based journalist Jonathan Cook in the United Arab Emirates paper 'The National'*.
According to an April report released by the Applied Research Institute of Jerusalem (ARIJ), USAID has helped build 114 km of segregated roads in the Palestinian territory despite assurances from Washington six years ago that it would not assist in the construction after the Palestinian Authority (PA) protested.
Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem reports that 170 km of roads in the West Bank are either off-limits to Palestinians or highly restricted.
After the Oslo Peace Accord in 1994, Israel requested the international community to finance 500 km of roads for the Palestinians, later termed 'fabric of life' roads, including upgrading agricultural tracks and constructing many underpasses and bridges, at a cost of 200 million US dollars, reported Cook.
However, donor countries rejected this request due to PA's protests that the entrenched apartheid-system infrastructure would strengthen the settlements and make their presence a permanent fixture while justifying more expropriation of Palestinian land.
But it would appear that the PA has been railroaded, at the behest of Israel, into accepting USAID in a take it or leave it scenario. . .

James Canning on January 14, 2017, 4:23 pm
I continue to think a deal on Israel/Palestine will have to be imposed on Israel, and Palestine. Making clear Israel cannot unilaterally "annex" portions of the occupied West Bank is essential.
Only successful way to do that giving Israel no room to complain is to reimpose the Partition Plan as per Resolution 181 and place a multinational force there to monitor the borders and keep the peace. Israel cannot say no because the borders in the Partition are still its only declared and legal borders. East Jerusalem, Jerusalem as a whole was never inside Sovereign Israel.
Sibiriak on January 16, 2017, 5:03 am
Reimpose? It was never imposed in the first place. It was not backed by the UNSC, and the great powers were not willing to supply the military forces which would be needed to implement it. As a result, we got the Nakba.
inbound39 on January 16, 2017, 12:30 pm
Sibiriak….Israel accepted Borders as defined by 181 and declared them as well as accepting the conditions of 181 and also agreed to implement 194 in order to gain full UN Membership. Though the Palestinian Arabs rejected the Plan the UN decided to keep Palestinian Territory aside in perpetuity until Palestinians decided to agree to their own State. That can all be found at UNISPAL. America began sending military aid to Israel virtually straight away. American aviators were there. Arabs got no assistance from day one as the borders were imposed even though Israel had already begun expansion beyond its declared borders.
Ossinev on January 15, 2017, 8:25 am
Just been watching the erudite Ron Prosor ex Israeli Ambassador to the UK being interviewed here in the UK on Fox News about the current Paris Peace conference.Usual "direct negotiations only way crap" as expected but during the interview his Zioguard slipped big time and referencing the possible US move of its Embassy to Jerusalem under a Trump administration he pointed out that Jerusalem was already the eternal capital of the Jews when Londoners were living in a "swamp".
So there you have it you Brits out there – you , and presumably all the other pathetic misguided nationalities attending and supporting the conference , are little more than untermenschen swamp dwellers compared with the eternal chosen people.
Maghlawatan on January 15, 2017, 10:06 am
London was a swamp when the first Temple was destroyed. And again when the second Temple was destroyed. What mismanagement lead to repeat destruction and is a similar process underway now?
MHughes976 on January 15, 2017, 12:38 pm
This particular verbal sally – 'London swamp' – comes from Chaim Weizmann at the beginning of his bromance with Arthur Balfour in 1906. Balfour, according to Weizmann, laid it to heart and remembered it at their next meeting a decade later.
MHughes976 on January 15, 2017, 1:02 pm
Just to add that Weizmann's remark was seriously prejudiced. The legend that London around 1000 BCE was already the capital of a kingdom founded by Trojan refugees is not far removed in credibility from the claim that Jerusalem became the capital of a United Monarchy at around the same time. Both must be strongly doubted – both may reflect a certain memory or reality, though a Trojan prince called Brutus is a bit of a stretch. The Bronze Age London area was an active economic centre, losing importance (was there a Bronze Brexit?) like many Bronze Age centres as the Iron Age dawned: so we learn from the lecture by Dr.J.D. Hill of the British Museum delivered to the City of London Archaeological Society in Oct. 2011.

Citizen. Thanks for the link.
The UK,S decision to send a low level representative to Paris is proof that , they had no intention of p—-g off the US by abstaining from any possible resolution put forward at the UNSC.They would have vetoed same.
The UK through Brexit has cut itself off from the EU and now needs the USA to replace some of the exports they have squandered through Brexit.The UK might well find itself backing US sanctions against Russia while simultaneously seeking trade deals with Putin.Best of luck with that Mrs May.
In a year or two , Brexit will seem like a nightmare .

Ossinev on January 15, 2017, 12:32 pm
@JamesCanning
The only "imposition" possible since 1967 and more specifically from Oslo in 1993 would have been by the US with a straightforward threat to withdraw the annual multi billion "aid" package to Israel twinned with the threat to withdraw the ongoing underpinning economic support package to the Palestinian Authority. This in turn would have given the nod to those European countries to threaten to withdraw their aid to the PA = over to you Israel you pay for your occupation inc infrastructure , health , welfare , education etc etc.
This did not happen and it will never happen. The Israelis have been in a wonderful "having cake and eating it" situation since 1993 and since then have effectively been taking the piss out of the International Community by all these years crowing about their longing for" peace" and , when it suits (not if you are a Yahoo and it is just before an election ) expressing their desire for a two state solution whilst all the time stealing more Palestinian land and water and building/expanding settlements in clear violation of International Law. Their Plan A is to continue the farce of seeking a 2SS (with their non precondition preconditions clearly spelt out eg control of the fertile Jordan Valley ) to preserve the status quo.They have no Plan B. It is quite simply not in the Ziomatrix = all of the land between the river and the sea belongs to Jews and Jews only as bequeathed by God via Abraham and all the other pantomine Biblical figures. Similarly the International Community have only a Plan A = continue to talk about the need for , hold conferences to discuss etc etc the 2SS when as any Western politician with any non Ziofed brains would have seen and can now definitely see is a demographic impossibility. The West Bank has 500,000 + settlers and growing inc East Jerusalem(illegally annexed). The settlements and by that I mean the in Israeli eyes "legal" ones and not including the Ziofreak "illegal" outposts have shredded / patchworked the West Bank making the possibility of any form of second state for the native Palestinians a sick joke.The settlers are not going anywhere and will not be moved by any Israeli administration in the future. The occasional "removal" of the "illegal" outposts has been just another Zioploy to give some ongoing de facto "legitimacy" in their eyes to what they consider to be the "legal" settlements.
The current conference is just another pointless roll of the 2SS dice and the Israelis will simply ignore its findings as it has the recentUNSC vote. The only way forward is a hope that in the very near future the PA charade will implode and the Israelis will be obliged to take over direct governing responsibility and the cost of sustaining the millions of native Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem.(nb they do not have "final solution" option)
Being the arrogant no one can touch no one can tell us what to do racists that they have developed into this will include an overt"Apartheid" system which even their finest Hasbarists will be unable to spin and no sane leader in the International Community will be able to ignore. So we have South Africa Mark 2 and the downfall of this Mark 2 version will be a lot more rapid than version 1 what with the Internet/mobile phones and BDS already having set the ball rolling.
One state solution here we come. Just a matter of time and following a lot of Israelis grabbing their second passports and jumping ship.
echinococcus on January 15, 2017, 3:06 pm
Ossinev,
Excellent description of the "Process" of the ongoing annihilation of the owners of Palestine.
What I just don't see is why the Zionists should not have the "final solution" option. It is already being implemented and I never came across a compelling argument in this regard.
Also, re your future tense for Apartheid and "One state solution here we come": Excuse me? It is and it has been a single Apartheid state, at any rate a full-fledged one since 1967 — no need to get into the nitty-gritty of the earlier situation. The laughable virtual Palestinian statehood is pure fiction anyway.
So I suppose that what I am discussing is the statement about the Apartheid single state being "a matter of time". We are at a more advanced stage and the ongoing genocide leaves no time.
The least the Conference could have done was to call on Nations to impose sanctions against Israel to get it to withdraw from Occupied territory and cease settlements.
echinococcus on January 16, 2017, 5:06 am
Inbound,
"The least the Conference could have done" doesn't seem to have been among its preset objectives. In fact, look at both the recent UNSC resolution and this conference: the main objective is to give a new lease on life to the 50-year-old myth of a bilateral "Process" of discussing among unequals about what the protocol of future hypothetical talks may possibly consist of. Both UNSC res and Conference are strictly about "bilateral talks", nothing else.
After the Oslo disaster that placed all resistance under direct Zionist control, the only thing that the West must do now is to renew the illusion of bilateral talks every once in a while, to keep its public opinion going. Some comedy to convince the boobies that the non-existent talks must be wrested off an inflexible Zionist government helps establish it as a bona fide measure.
I concur with you echinococcus……Israel though at this stage is exposed and many are waking up to what has been going on. It will come down to protests and Public pressure on Politicians globally ….like South Africa.
@echinococcus
Thanks for your comments. Ref the Apartheid scenario we both know that there has effectively been an Apartheid system in Israel and Palestine since 1948. It has however been wrapped up/disguised/figleafed from the outside world through Zionist Hasbara and the ongoing Israeli charade of seeking peace and two states which has always been a sham. Nevertheless the charade has served to make the endemic Apartheid effectively "covert" to general public in the West and has given Western governments the excuse to continue with the pointless" peace brokering" routine – the latest example being the laughable Paris conference. As I have said the situation will IMHO dramatically change when the PA implodes which I believe will happen in the very near future .Israel will then be in a position where they will have to give equal rights to the Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem ( not a hope in hell ) or impose an "overt" as opposed to a "covert" Apartheid system which Western governments will have no choice but to act upon through sanctions and boycotts as with South Africa.
Ref the ongoing genocide and Final Solution. I have not seen any up to date demographics but I suspect that the Palestinian population in East Jerusalem and the West Bank is stable and if anything growing and despite the lawnmowing the same would apply to Gaza. So in my opinion yes there is a serious and deliberate ethnic cleansing and displacement plan and process being implemented on an ongoing basis by the Israelis in East Jerusalem and the West Bank but a planned incremental genocide no. They are happy to take out individual Palestinians when afforded opportunities but ongoing planned killings no – even the craziest of Israeli politicians and officials (and most of them are now crazy) recognise that in 2017 that is not an option. Similarly with an overall "Final Solution" to the Palestinian population problem. They obviously can`t exterminate them en masse – although I suspect a very large proportion of the Jewish Israeli public would love to do just that . They can`t round them all up and restrict them to razor wired camps( too expensive and too many echoes of Nazi Germany – leaving aside the fact that precious Chosen People blood would be spilt in gallons as the Palestinians would resist).They can`t force them into neighbouring states as they would first have to round them up (see above) and the neighbouring states would resist(more PCPB spilt)
Basically Zionist Israelis are screwed(and all their own doing) and the only thing which is holding back the reality of it all is the continuation of the Quisling/Vichy PA farce – very soon to be history IMO.
there has effectively been an Apartheid system in Israel and Palestine since 1948. It has however been wrapped up/disguised/figleafed from the outside world through Zionist Hasbara and the ongoing Israeli charade of seeking peace and two states
Correct. That's why the single most urgent objective should be making clear the one-state reality and destroying all the fictions, including both that of a "justified" partition and that of a separate Palestinian state (the latter was useful when represented by an exiled resistance –no longer so.) Instead of supporting them.
As for the ongoing genocide, stable census figures are not an argument; the material hurdles are being met by adapting the pace and methods of the extermination to the conditions on the terrain –the Ottoman forced marches were just as effective as the camps and ovens, and Zionist creativity is getting rave reviews in the US.
HarryLaw on January 17, 2017, 5:57 am
" Palestinians cannot be expected to return to the negotiating table while Israel continues to act with impunity and the world stands idly by". The problem is that the Palestinian leadership have returned to the negotiating table time and again for the past 20 odd years. Whose fault is that? The US/Israel having fooled Abbas many times expect [with good reason] to do it again. All Israeli leaders just want time to implement their schemes. The settlement enterprise, according to the UNSC and the International Court of Justice [ICJ] are illegitimate / unlawful, but the UNSC will not take action [US veto] and the ICJ action was only an opinion. What we are left with is the action at the ICC, the only body in the International arena which has the capacity to prosecute the Israeli leadership, why is not more pressure put on the ICC in the Hague to expedite the case on this crucial question? Last I heard it could take 12 years to bring the case to trial, if it ever gets there. Ridiculous!


More than 1,200 guests from around the globe experienced an evening under majestic gum trees in the spectacular Western Australian Botanic Garden during the Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE), while taking in Kings Park's famous views of Perth and the Swan River.
Kings Park is home to one of the few botanic gardens in the world to boast such a prime inner-city position and views, attracting more than five million visitors each year.
A special pop-up venue created by Tourism WA for the WA Showcase provided a 'the bush in the city' experience for delegates. The ambitious project used one of the most beautiful sections of the WA Botanic Garden as a major event venue for the first time. Roe Gardens is home to unusual plants and trees from WA regions such as Shark Bay and the Wheatbelt, including the world's largest gum blossoms (Eucalyptus macrocarpa, common name: Mottlecah).
According to the Park's executive director, Kings Park was the perfect place to give ATE visitors a taste of the State in one location.
'Kings Park brings together nature, culture and tourism to show off our powerful and uniquely Western Australian identity that locals and visitors always fall in love with', said Mr Alan Barrett, Executive Director, Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority.
Kings Park is home to the WA Botanic Garden, expansive parklands, the State War Memorial, a glass bridge overlooking the city, several cafes, extensive native bushland and the best views in Perth.
Kings Park is known as 'Kaarta Koomba' by the Wadjuk Nyoongar Aboriginal people of the South West region, who have been traditional custodians of this land for at least 40,000 years. New Aboriginal cultural tours for visitors are set to commence in April 2019.
Amazing visitor experiences include daily guided walks, Aboriginal cultural tours, locally made souvenirs from Aspects of Kings Park Gallery Shop, Segway Tours, the Perth Explorer bus, the Kings Park Festival and outdoor summer music concerts.
It is one of the largest inner-city parks in the world. It is located less than one kilometre from the city centre.
Kings Park and Botanic Garden is the most visited destination in Western Australia.
Our Visitor Information Centre is open every day from 9.30 am to 4.00 pm.

The TCG Experience
Benefits & Perqs
TCG is the No. 1 Engaged Workplace in North America
TCG has been named North American Company of the Year for employee engagement. The award was presented to TCG by the Employee Engagement Awards and Conference on June 20 at the Tribeca 360 in New York City.
The Employee Engagement Awards recognize companies that prioritize employee wellbeing and their involvement in the future of the business. TCG was selected for this award based on the strength of our employee engagement strategy. More than half of TCGers work from home full time, and the company was recognized for being a leader in creating engagement and a strong culture in a context where most employees don't see one another in person every day.
"With regards to our overall Organization of the Year, it was the ability to engage a predominantly remote workforce that caught our judges' eye," said Matt Manners, founder and CEO of the Employee Engagement Awards and Conference. "This is an issue that more organizations are going to have to negotiate well to remain competitive and provide a world-class employee experience."
TCG President Daniel Turner said, "Our Employee Happiness department has one of the toughest jobs in the company — keeping 140 people happy and connected to each other is no easy feat. Through hard work and a bit of wizardry, the team manages to care for everyone's needs, and address concerns they may have in and out of the workplace."
Some of the tactics TCG uses to drive engagement include:
TCG Social and Charity Sprees: TCGers can organize one social gathering and one volunteer activity each month, and TCG covers up to $1,000 of the costs. Each spree is open to all TCG employees.
Birthday & Un-Birthday Coffees: TCG's Employee Happiness department meets with each employee twice per year to give TCGers a chance to discuss their overall job satisfaction, use of their training budget, use of perks, and more.
TCG Central — company intranet: In addition to being a repository of company information, the intranet is a social media site where anyone in the company can post content, and others can comment, like, share, and engage with their colleagues.
Mirco-bonuses: Using Bonus.ly, TCGers recognize one another for extraordinary achievements by awarding points. Earned points are cashed in for gift cards, charitable donations, and even paid time off.
Around the Water Cooler monthly newsletter: The internal newsletter features Spree recaps, new perk updates, job postings, and other updates from around the company. Nearly 75% of the company reads the newsletter regularly, keeping each other abreast of what's happening with our colleagues around the company.
About the Employee Engagement Awards
The Employee Engagement Awards (EE Awards) is the first and only global awards dedicated to employee engagement. The EE Awards believe in inspiring and educating people to remake the way organizations think about and engage people to achieve their purpose.

Make them easy to understand, real, attainable, and measurable. The real deal!
Skip all the Acronyms. Skip all the fluff.
Throw away 3 through 10 – only 1 through 3 are the most important, aren't they"?
Make sure they understand why they are cirtical for the organization to attain.
Make sure they understand the employees are critical for the company to attain these goals.
Make sure every employee knows these cold and talk them up during conversations with employees and top management, supervisors, etc.
Offer a prize for the best suggestion of the month or quarter – Make sure they know there is something in it for them.
Offer a prize for the employee on the floor showing the best results and efforts to helping the company attaining these company goals.
Make a large showing when you give these awards.
Show your appreciation, even small gestures create big rewards.
Make sure employees understand the big picture.
Communication is key. If it's not "ready, aim, fire" down the line from the senior management to the employees, then everyone is not uniformly moving towards the same goals.
You have to be human. If you're too important for your poeple, how will your people work for you?Why? Most of the companies we visit suffer from these symptoms.1) Most of the employees have different, and sometimes conflicting, goals than management.2) Most of the employees have never been made aware of the important goals of the company.
Most of the companies' employees and management need to become better Aligned.
Initiative 1 is as easy as that. And it works.
