Q: How to achieve downloading file as well as updating database in PHP I have a file that is downloaded though my site. I want to count the number of downloads.  I have achieved it with the following code:
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
  or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
$selected = mysql_select_db("a7871565_first",$dbhandle)
  or die("Could not select examples");
$result = mysql_query("select * from downloads");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$count= $row{'download'};
$count= $count+1;
$result = mysql_query("UPDATE downloads SET download =$count");
echo "<script>";

    $url = "http://www.mohammediatechnologies.in/apps/TubeMateHd.apk";
    echo "window.open('$url');".PHP_EOL;

echo "</script>";

It does update the database with count as well as downloads the file but when the user clicks on the download button he is redirected to the file named download.php containing the code above. The user is presented with a blank screen which is something I don't want. The file download is opening in another window that is blocked as it is considered as a popup.
What I want to achieve is when the user clicks on the download link, the user stays on the same page, the database updates and the file is downloaded.

A: As I mentioned in the comments too, you want to make the user download, it does not matter JS or PHP, also you want download.php to execute at the time of download. So I think this may help you: How to force file download with PHP
Basically when you want to force download a file in a browser, you need to set proper headers to the browser, so it knows you want the user to download the file, and then send the data to the browser.
In PHP frameworks there are some helper function to help you do the same (eg. in codeigniter you can use force_download() to achieve the same task).

Das Minneapolis City Hall and Hennepin County Courthouse ist ein 1888 errichtetes Gebäude in Minneapolis, das von Long and Kees entworfen wurde und sowohl von der Stadtverwaltung als auch durch den Hennepin County als Courthouse genutzt wird. Das Gebäude wurde seit seiner Entstehung zu unterschiedlichen Zwecken genutzt. Da allerdings die Countyverwaltung inzwischen mit dem Hennepin County Government Center an der Südseite der Government Plaza einen modernen Neubau bezogen hat, wird es nun überwiegend für städtische Belange genutzt. Es ist auch unter der Bezeichnung Municipal Building bekannt. Auch weiterhin gehört es der Stadt und dem County gemeinschaftlich. Es wurde am 4. Dezember 1974 in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen.

Architektur
Der Bau ersetzte ein früheres Gebäude, das zwischen 1873 und 1912 an der früheren Kreuzung zwischen den Hennepin Avenue und der Nicollet Avenue stand und durch den Gateway Park ersetzt wurde, bis dieser selbst der Abrissbirne zum Opfer fiel.

Das heutige Rathaus in 350 South Fifth Street ist ein Beispiel des Baustiles, der als Richardsonian Romanesque bekannt ist. Der Entwurf basiert auf Henry Hobson Richardsons Ausführung des Allegheny County Courthouse in Pittsburgh. Der Bau begann 1888 und wurde offiziell 1909 beendet. Die Baukosten betrugen 3.554.000 US-Dollar, was etwa 10 US-Dollar pro Kubikmeter umbauten Raum entspricht.

Zum Zeitpunkt seiner Konstruktion stellte das Gebäude den Anspruch, das größte Uhren-Zifferblatt der Welt zu besitzen, dessen Durchmesser etwa 100 mm größer ist als dass von Big Ben in London. Der Uhrturm erreicht eine Höhe von 345 Fuß, etwa 105 m und war das höchste Bauwerk der Stadt, bis in den 1920er Jahren der Foshay Tower errichtet wurde. Ein 15-stimmiges Glockenspiel ertönt zur Mittagszeit während der Sommermonate und an öffentlichen Feiertagen.

Das Gebäude besteht aus Granit, der in Ortonville gebrochen wurde, und viele der verwendeten Steine wiegen mehr als 20 Tonnen. Ursprünglich sollte der Granit nur für den Sockel verwendet werden, und in den oberen Stockwerken sollten Ziegelsteine zum Einsatz kommen. Der Öffentlichkeit gefiel jedoch das Aussehen des Sockels so gut, dass die Ausführung des gesamten Gebäudes auf diese Weise verlangt wurde. Diese Änderung ist vermutlich mit ein Grund, warum die ursprünglich auf 1,15 Millionen US-Dollar veranschlagten Baukosten derart deutlich überschritten wurden.  Ursprünglich hatte das Gebäude ein Dach aus Terracotta, dieses wurde aber mit der Zeit undicht. Deswegen wurde 1950 darüber ein Dach aus Kupfer installiert, dessen Gewicht 81.600 kg beträgt und das inzwischen die charakteristische grüne Patina angenommen hat.

Im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Gebäuden im Zentrum von Minneapolis ist das Rathaus mit den umliegenden Gebäuden nicht durch Skywalks verbunden, da ein solcher Versuch architektonisch zu einem Desaster geführt hätte, sondern es wurden Fußgängerunterführungen gebaut. An der Südseite befindet sich eine Haltestelle der Hiawathalinie der Stadtbahn.

Interieur
 Im Inneren des Gebäudes befindet sich eine große Rotunde mit einer Skulptur des amerikanischen Bildhauers Larkin Goldsmith Mead, der damals in Florenz lebte. Die Skulptur trägt den Namen "Father of Waters" nach dem Fluss Mississippi River, der Minneapolis durchfließt. Der örtlichen Sage nach soll es Glück bringen, wenn man einen der Zehen berührt. Die Skulptur wurde 1906 fertiggestellt und in das Gebäude gebracht. Im Inneren wird teilweise Kalkstein aus Bedford, Indiana verwendet.

Im Laufe der Jahre wurden viele der größeren Räume des Gebäudes unterteilt, um mehr Büroraum zu gewinnen, und im Hof wurde gar ein Anbau errichtet. In den 1980er Jahren wurde allerdings damit begonnen, diese wieder in ihren ursprünglichen Zustand zu versetzen.

Something which works. Everybody wants that. As well as in the brand new business financing reality of 2010 and 2011 asset backed lending may be your brand-new option for Canadian business financing.
Asset based credit line facilities are gaining popularity everyday. It's just a more recent approach to lending to Canadian business having a total concentrate on assets. 'Assets'. This is the key phrase. So which assets could they be? ask clients. Typically included in this are inventory, receivables equipment and machinery inside your fixed assets area of the balance sheet, and perhaps property. In certain very unique cases IP, or ip, a la patents, etc could be financed.
Another new common category is tax credits, for example SR Erectile dysfunction (SR&Erectile dysfunction) tax credits. Tax credits have been in effect receivables, money because of you against the federal government that's by means of a non repayable type grant. So monetizing that asset once you can enables you to utilize cash more proficiently inside your business.
Our clients typically imagine inventory and receivables as the only products they might margin for liquidity using their bank. In fact even inventory financing has become harder within the chartered bank atmosphere, certainly for launch, smaller sized, and medium-sized firms. That therefore may be the primary improvement in a good thing backed lending and dealing capital facility in the simplest form it's this is the margining of individuals other assets to capture maximum liquidity.
The fact is that this kind of Canadian business financing is an alternative choice to bank financing, its real, its available, and enables you to definitely not getting to think about more unpalatable options for example raising new equity and diluting your possession.
Many of us are for guaranteed bank lending... should you firm can qualify for the lending it requires. However if you simply have experienced financial challenges then consider asset backed lending like a solid option. What are a few of individuals ' challenges' we talk about that may not permit you get Canadian chartered bank financing... its issues like a temporary loss, a turnaround, new possession, balance sheet ratios and covenants that may not work with the financial institution, etc.
Asset based finance doesn't mind about all individuals issues - yes they're discussed, however it always returns to ' the assets ' - and for those who have them you are able to margin them every day for capital and funds flow.


So,this post is a little bit different as I've used a Hobbycraft Wreath frame and added clothes pegs and an Elf plus a Holly and Berry coil from a pop up Christmas shop in Queens Street ( may I say in my enthusiasm these last two items were the most expensive at £3.50 and £2.75 respectively....I know !).
I looked around for inspiration and God bless Pinterest!
So we started with the Pom Poms as I was only using the largest of the Pom Pom Makers and I needed 5 pom poms - I also assisted with another resident (I wound the Pom Pom whilst she fed me the wool and we had a lovely chat with prompting in-between) I think they need a rest from Pom Poms now since our last blogged craft !
Then came the peg painting - this resident completely immersed himself in the task ; in fact I had to keep up with him !
I threaded the Holly coil as it was quite tricky and stiff plus secured the elf with pipe-cleaners we already had in our store- adding a hanging hoop with said pipe-cleaners ....and there you have it !

Q: Code generation - design pattern I need to generate a script (asterisk OBD script), kind of shell script, with routines and sub-routines, from a set of inputs for the script. I need to do it in Java. Which design pattern to use for code generation? I tried template pattern and command pattern but was halfway confused and stopped. any idea, design, doc and others would be appreciated.
below is the sample code.
note 1: <> are the params supplied as input.
note 2: nested dtmf information, depending the subroutine is coded.
let me know if more explanations are required.
[<context_name>]
exten => answered,1,set(actionid=actionid:${ACTIONID})
same => n, wait(1)
same => n, read(input,<file path>/<file>,1,,,10)
same => n, gotoif($[${input}=1]?1pressed,1)
same => n, gotoif($[${input}=2]?2pressed,1)
same => n, noop("No/Invalid input")
same => n,hangup

exten => 1pressed,1,read(inputsub,<file path>/<play1>,1,,,10)
same => n, gotoif($[${input}=1]?1subpressed,1)
same => n, gotoif($[${input}=2]?2subpressed,1)
same => n, noop("No/Invalid input")
same => n,hangup
same => n(1subpressed),playback(<file path>/<playsub11>)
same => n,hangup
same => n(2subpressed),playback(<file path>/<playsub12>)
same => n,hangup

exten => 2pressed,1,playback(<file path>/<play2>)
same => n,hangup

exten =>h,1, set(CDR(userfield)=$actionid)
same => n, hangup

A: This may be overkill for what you need to do, but in model-driven projects I have implemented a couple of extensive code generators based on EMF models using Eclipse M2T (http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/), although it was called openArchitectureWare back then.
Your input would need to be available as a model though, and you'd need to familiarize yourself with the languages that are used within M2T to generate code like XPand

You probably already know that you need a diet where your Omega-3 fatty acids and your Omega-6 fatty acids are balanced; Omega-6 fatty acids help your body undertake the process of inflammation, which is necessary for self-maintenance (getting rid of damaged cells), Omega-3 fatty acids add the balance necessary to keep inflammation from becoming chronic. Evening Primrose Oil contains Gamma-Linoleic acid, an Omega-6 essential fatty acid that is rarely found in food sources and usually made by the body. Unfortunately, if we aren't eating a balanced diet, if our bodies are stressed, sick, or aged, it may not be able to produce enough of this essential fatty acid.
Why is Gamma-Linoleic acid so special? Unlike most Omega-6 fatty acids, Gamma-Linoleic acid (GLA) may actually help to reduce inflammation, as it can be converted into DGLA (Dihomo-Gamma-Linoleic Acid, an anti-inflammatory Omega-6 fatty acid) with the proper nutrients (including magnesium, zinc, and Vitamins that can usually be found in a good multi-vitamin).
Traditionally, Evening Primrose Oil has been used on eczema (and subsequently on inflammation in general), as well as to ease various women's health issues, ranging from premenstrual symptoms to menopause (it can, however, induce labor, and so should not be taken while pregnant).
It plays a role in growing and stimulating healthy hair and skin.
Helps keep your bones strong, reducing and sometimes reversing the effects of Osteoporosis (There's a connection between insufficient consumption of essential fatty acids and Osteoporosis).
It helps to regulate metabolism.
It plays a role in reproductive maintenance.
It may help reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes.
It may help reduce allergies–studies have found people with insufficient amounts of GLA also have allergies (it could also be that people with allergies have trouble making GLA, either way it seems wise to add GLA to your diet).
It may help to reduce blood pressure and sharp leg pains due to high blood pressure.
It may work synergistically with several drugs, improving the efficacy of one type of antibiotic, reducing side-effects of certain drugs, etc. For this reason, Do Not Take Evening Primrose Oil without Consulting a Doctor About Other Medications You May Be Taking, and Tell Your Doctor if you are taking Evening Primrose Oil before he prescribes anything, or before surgery. While overall it's good that it improves other drugs, it may improve them too much, for example, when paired with blood thinning medication (including Aspirin, which you may not be using for blood thinning) it may increase the risk of bleeding.
Despite all of Evening Primrose Oil's benefits, it's important to first make sure that your eating a diet that balances Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids before adding more Omega-6 (most people get too much Omega-6 due to America's high-fat diet). For tips on achieving balance, Click Here, or consider supplementing with Omega-3 fatty acids and a multivitamin (to achieve proper conversions).

I have no desire to give an explanation.
I down voted this, mostly because I dislike the tone and lack of explanation.
I am also answering yes, and would be happy to edit my answer to include an explanation if you elaborate on why you think it is important or care.
Or at least tag this. Suggestions would be: Kropotkin, Old-men-with-beards, anarcho-communism, mutual-aid, etc.
If you go to the tags tab, there are probably lots of others that apply, and the great thing is, you can use tags to help inform the nature of your inquiry, because as it stands, your inquiry sounds like I am being interrogated by an enemy, perhaps in the depths of the Fortress of Peter and Paul.

There are many different plays for the opponent playing black to use. Black may seem to be at a disadvantage at first when playing a chess game but a well played defense against the opening moves of white will help black gain the control of the board it needs in order to try and win the game.
At the start of any chess game there is a possibility of twenty first moves that white can make. The opening moves for black will depend largely on the opening move choice of white. In response to the opening moves made by white, black also has twenty options for its opening moves of the chess game. Many of the possible responses that are available to the black opponent are mirror images of the most popular of opening moves made by white. These mirror moves of white's opening moves will give the black opponent a temporary loss. These mirror moves made by the black opponent can also be called reversed or inverted openings.
Common chess openings for black include many different names. Many of these chess openings for black have the ending of defense. This is for easier studying and classification of the openings for chess players. Naming these chess openings for black also allows for easier recognition when watching chess game play. Both the white and black opponents will have their own named openings with some of the opening moves having the same beginning words but ending differently. Common names for the defensive moves made by the black opponent are called a two knights defense or King's Indian defense.
The defensive moves made by black are not necessarily weak moves but can in fact put the white opponent at a disadvantage. Many chess openings for black can be very aggressive in their bid for control of the chess board. One of these types of aggressive chess openings for the black opponent is called the Nimzo Indian defense. This move by the black opponent's defense is a move that is not very common but does encourage a lot of defensive maneuvering. The Nimzo Indian defense is a very defensive choice of opening moves for black. This defensive move can ultimately win the game for the black opponent.
Chess openings for black are all about gaining control back from the white opponent and their opening move. The black opponent does not need to always mirror the white opponent's opening moves. This could throw off the game plan of the white opponent and lead you to a victory in the game.
When studying chess openings for black, you should become familiar with the different types of openings the white opponent can begin with. When you know the different openings for the white opponent you will be better off in creating your defensive opening moves for black. Many top level chess players would rather start the game as black so they can create their own defensive strategy and possibly disrupt the game plan of the white opponent.
The main goals to be achieved by the chess openings for black are to gain the control of the board from white opponent and weaken their position on the board. The weaker your opponent the quicker your win may come in the game of chess. Paying attention to the opening of the white opponent and knowing what moves you can use in defense can go a long way in gaining the win for black.


Should I Spend Donuts on Hairy Shearers and Julio?
I like this combo. It's on the pricey side, but we've seen way worse for way less. If you have the donuts pick this one up. Especially since he's voiced.
Of all of the premium items for this mini event this is the one I'd pick up. Premium character with a building and he's voiced. Plus he helps with the event. While the price is a bit on the steep side this one still gets my freemium stamp of approval.
Of course in the end it's your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn't do…and as I premium player I can tell you I'll be picking him up. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before he leaves our games for good (or for now).
What are your thoughts on Julio and Hairy Shearers? Will you be spending the donuts to bring them to your Springfield? Why or why not? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

Norton selectmen are urging 31 Massachusetts communities to join with them to pressure the state's Department of Housing and Community Development to change the way they calculate percentages of affordable housing units in each town and city.
Selectmen Vice Chairman Robert Kimball read a letter at last week's selectmen's meeting that will be mailed out this week. The letter lists communities where Chapter 40B "affordable" units have been permitted, but are not counted by the state because they have yet to be built, specifically concentrating on those who would benefit from more up to date calculations.
Under the current law, permitted developments can sit fallow for years, while other 40B developments apply for comprehensive permits after them, because the permitted units are not included in the state tally after a year of no action by a developer.
"After a year, they fall off the list – they don't count," Kimball said.
If all Norton's currently permitted low and moderate income units were built, the town would be well over the 10 percent affordable figure, the magic number that protects the community from being forced to permit more affordable units under the Chapter 40B regulations.
The 40B "anti snob zoning" law allows certain kinds of affordable developments to step over local regulations governing density, setbacks, road widths, and even wetlands bylaws, resulting in what many say are dense developments that can be built in areas that would ordinarily not qualify for multiple housing on a large scale. Each community is asked to reach at least 10 percent affordable before they can try to turn away a developer seeking a 40B permit when the proposed development conflicts with certain local regulations.
Critics – and Norton is a strong critic – say the current Chapter 40B regulations allow development that overburdens a community's school, public safety, and conservation resources.
The selectmen's letter singles out 31 towns and cities whose pre-construction, affordable inventory would put them over the ten percent threshold – in some cases, well over that mark.
Ayer, for instance, is listed by the state at 8.4 percent affordable, yet if all its permitted units were built, the town would stand at 13.6 percent. Boxborough would have 15.7 percent of its housing classed as affordable, when now it is listed at 1.2 percent. Nearby Dighton, now enrolled at 4.3 percent, would clock in at a whopping 16 percent were all its permitted units built. Hingham, now at 6 percent, would be listed at 24.4 percent affordable.
Kimball tells the selectmen, planning, and zoning officials of the 31 communities that Norton intends to put forward an article on Town Meeting floor authorizing the town's selectmen to present a Home Rule petition to the state, seeking to change the affordable housing regulations so that all permitted units are counted. He advises the boards to consider similar articles for their own residents to endorse.
"This can protect your community from rapid growth," Kimball said.
Selectmen agreed there is nothing like consistent public pressure, but they have not expressed optimism that significant changes will be enacted at the state level.
"The numbers make a difference," selectmen Chairman Tim Giblin said.

// A. List files (list.db.txt, list.query.txt).
//      List files specify filenames to images in jpg format, one per
//      line (keep in mind that the actual jpg files are not distributed
//      unless requested).  In addition, if the focal length of the image
//      has been estimated from Exif tags, then that is also included.
//
//      Images without known focal length information are specified with
//      a line with a single field, the image name.  Example:
//        query/10970812@N05_2553027508.jpg
//
//      Images with known focal length information are specified with a

Even though she can't hear any of the music or sound effects in the game, Kelsey Fireheart professes a strong love for Wizard101. In a guest post on the KingsIsle blog, Kelsey shares a little of what it's like to be a deaf gamer and why this MMO means so much to her.
Shortly after starting her adventures in the game, Kelsey had a profound encounter: "I remember questing in the Pyramid of the Sun of Krokotopia and I bumped into a fellow wizard named Diana Wildheart. She mentioned that she was deaf, and I gasped in astonishment. I replied, I am deaf too! That's when I realized that I could meet fellow deaf gamers through games like Wizard101."
Kelsey said that this friendship made her realize that MMOs could be used for more than just fun and to educate others about what it's like to be deaf. "This game is a wonderful educational tool that I can use to teach countless others and it gave me a way of communicating with no barriers. In fact, it gave me a greater purpose within the game," she wrote. Kelsey said that the visuals of the game are quite important to her and that she wished sign language would be available as in-game emotes.

AEC congratulates, welcomes new French Guiana bishop
Church must consciously engage Youth
Published by CN Admin at February 8, 2022

As the Archdiocese embarks on a series of consultations for the Synod, the inclusion of youth will not happen by chance. "It is important for the Church to include people intentionally," said Dr Deborah McFee, public policy researcher and practitioner.
Dr McFee and youth development specialist Dr Henry Charles, were panellists at the February 5 online forum 'Authentically engaging children and youth in transformative dialogue' hosted by the Archdiocese Office of Youth Ministry. The Moderator was Darrion Narine, Programme Coordinator, Archdiocesan Ministry for Migrants and Refugees.
"It is important for us to recognise many times that inclusion is something, if it is not planned, it is not going to happen…by osmosis…or because I want it to trickle down. We are going to have to decide our priorities," Dr McFee said. She, however, added that even when priorities are decided "we are not going to get everybody tomorrow".
Dr Charles agreed with comments made by Dr McFee saying that while the "duty bearers" do not work with the intention of excluding anyone, the "exigencies" of the process used e.g., a survey, can cause this to happen. He advanced a reason why some persons are marginalised from the discourse, "Does the status quo want to promote inclusion?".
Dr Charles commented that there is an elitist approach to power in the Caribbean and other places. Power is regarded as belonging to a select few. He said, "the way we are going to get…all of this conscious engagement and inclusion and equity is by challenging what I call the elitist approach to power." There has to be a discussion on reconfiguring power relationships within homes, churches, and society to create an "equilibrium of power relationships".
Responding to a question from Narine, Dr Charles said it is critical to recognise young people are not homogenous, they came from different socio-economic and ideological backgrounds.
"In the course of trying to respond to youth needs or create opportunities, we have to be able to define what are those multiplicities of needs and priorities and how do we create a response that can proportionally, equitably, touch all of each."
To do this a process of investigation takes place that will include the underlying structural factors that impact on young people, and determine specific interventions. Dr Charles said he subscribed to the view that young people should determine their actual needs.
Race and class are often raised in discussions, but Dr McFee said "geography" can also be a source of privilege when engaging with people. "Our authentic listening conversations needs to be mindful of those social markers."
Dr Charles brought up the perception of young people as a threat to the society, "perhaps even a threat to the Body of Christ and not seeing them as authentically a wholesome partner and fellow sinner in the divine vineyard." The Bible provided many examples of young people who manifested God's "awesome power and goodness": David, Joseph, Daniel etc. God trusted the participation of young people, and the Bible has a lot of teaching to assist with authentic engagement.
Dr Charles said, "Do we trust young people? If you don't create a basis for trust, then engagement is a joke, young people know where you are coming from."
Dr McFee said as authentic listeners there must be a willingness to be uncomfortable. "It is really important that decision making spaces don't only look like people I know, and I like and I am comfortable with," she said. Many times, people talked inclusion but wanted things to end in a particular way.
"My anticipated outcome is not what is important, it is whether or not I created access," Dr McFee said.

An inspirational story of taking control of situations that seem impossible.
Andrew says, "I used to look at people in wheelchairs and think about how hard it must be for them not being able to walk. Realistically, I had no idea of their struggles. For me, the biggest challenges are things I least expected." Like chronic pain 24/7, the emotional turmoil of a marriage breakdown soon after his accident, and the harsh financial realities of being uninsured and unable to return to any full-time work. Andrew's book is an honest and open account of the huge challenges - and the smaller ones - he has had to face in coming to terms with his disability without letting it defeat him.
The frustration of being unable to change the channel on his hospital TV immediately after his accident became the metaphor for his life: He realised he could at least change the channel on his thoughts, from negative to positive, and in doing so, be open to finding the solutions He needed to achieve what he wanted.
His book asks some big questions as well as offering some practical and pragmatic advise on why we should all be better prepared for such a possibility. What would you do if something similar happened to you? Andrew's story provides valuable insight into how to: plan your future financial security find hope in your darkest moments rise above seemingly impossible challenges. There is always a choice - it's up to you to see it!

What Had Happened Was Trending stories on the intersections of race, sports & culture
Daily Dose: 6/19/17
Another black person killed by police, this time in Seattle
4:35 PMThe fight continues in Washington, D.C. And no, this one has nothing to do with President Donald Trump. On Monday, the Washington Redskins secured a small victory with a Supreme Court ruling that deemed the law preventing the team from registering trademarks with the word "Redskins"— or "offensive trademarks" — as unconstitutional. The controversial team name has been a topic of discussion for decades, but it intensified in May 2013 after team owner Dan Snyder staunchly vowed to never change it. Months later, President Barack Obama joined in, adding, "If I were the owner of the team and I knew that there was a name of my team — even if it had a storied history — that was offending a sizable group of people, I'd think about changing it." A year later, the Trademark and Trial Appeal Board ordered the cancellation of the Washington Redskins' six federal trademarks. Now, three years and several court appearances later, we're here. Snyder is "thrilled," according to reports, and team attorney Lisa Blatt praised the court's decision. The team may have won the war, but something tells me this battle is far from over.
Oh, wait! There is Trump news. Within a few hours of releasing a statement acknowledging Juneteenth, the oldest and most well-known celebration honoring the end of slavery in the United States, the internet quickly drew comparisons between President Trump's issued statement and former president Barack Obama's — one focused more on freed slaves, while the other praised men who allowed slaves to be freed. As the statement continues to be debated, most social media users have moved on to criticizing the president's silence after an overnight van attack in London that left one pedestrian dead and 10 others wounded.
Another day, another non-conviction. If you haven't heard about the infuriating yet unsurprising acquittal of Officer Jeronimo Yanez in the shooting death of Philando Castile last July. The verdict prompted marches and calls to action across the country. Castile, a 32-year-old cafeteria supervisor and registered gun owner, reached into his pocket to get his license. Fearing that Castile was retrieving a weapon, Yanez shot him multiple times and walks away a free man, as we've witnessed so many times before. The same song will continue: The national outrage, pain and frustration and personalized hashtags will roar, then quiet until the next unfortunate encounter.
Two days later, another police-involved shooting. A pregnant woman was fatally shot by two officers in front of several children in Seattle after reporting a burglary earlier that morning. According to police, 30-year-old Charleena Lyles displayed a knife before the two officers opened fire. Although the incident is still under investigation, family members told media outlets that Lyles had been suffering with mental health issues for the past year. The children inside the apartment at the time of the shooting were not injured.
Jay Z adds context to the recent 4:44 ads. We've all seen the mysterious salmon-colored background with the bold, black 4:44 displayed directly in the center. The ads, which simultaneously popped up in New York and Los Angeles and on several websites two weeks ago, sent social media sleuths into a frenzy. The only clue: the word "Tidal" in the coding that accompanied the ads. Many speculated it might be a new project from the proud papa of newborn twins, and others hoped it would be specifically about the twins.
#conspiracytheory #beyonce actually had twins on the 4th making Jay's rumored album title a triple #4:44 (a nod to IV as in Blue Ivy…) https://t.co/Js8nOyNjmv
— Zoe Zellers (@Z_Paris_Z) June 16, 2017
Jay Z will be dropping a new album on June 30 as a result of a new partnership between Tidal and Sprint. In addition to the new music, the partnership will support the 1Million Project to help 1 million low-income high school students across the United States gain access to the internet. Free mobile devices and free high-speed wireless internet will be provided to participating students during their high school years.
It's a win for all.
NORRISTOWN, PA – JUNE 17: Actor and comedian Bill Cosby leaves the Montgomery County Courthouse on June 17, 2017 in Norristown, Pennsylvania.

Bill Cosby's sexual assault mistrial was as much about power as it was about rape
Cosby's silence speaks of his wholesale betrayal
By Clinton Yates	@clintonyates
4:55 PMIf you ever needed proof that rape is as much about power as it is about sex, a Pennsylvania courtroom just handed it to you. On the day that Bill Cosby's sexual assault case was declared a mistrial, his spokesperson Andrew Wyatt came right out and proudly preached to the world, "Mr. Cosby's power is back. It's back. It has been restored."
While the blind comedian stood behind him, Wyatt methodically explained, whether he knew so or not, exactly why misogyny and toxic masculinity keep scores of women from never reporting their attackers.
In the words of Huey P. Newton: "Power is the ability to defy phenomena, and make it act in a designed manner." Wyatt then repeated it. After the aforementioned declaration of the return of Cosby's power, he continued: "The legacy didn't go anywhere, it has been restored."
It's impossible to forget any of the steps that got us here. The initial accusers. The payoffs. The subsequent accusers. The pound cake speech. Hannibal Buress. All the other shenanigans that Cosby's lawyers tried to pull to make sure this very trial would never come to light.
Ultimately, Andrea Constand was allowed to confront her accuser and a jury simply couldn't bring themselves to convict a man who legitimately admitted to violating her when she was unable to move. Cosby was so obsessed with his invasive conquests that he told his accuser's own mother about what he did to her.
It's hard to describe what happens to people when they get to control things. Most men live their whole lives not realizing how much opportunity and unjust right they are given to power. But when they get it, they believe they deserve it. Bill Cosby, apparently since the age of 11, has been consumed with controlling women. When he agreed to pay Constand's school costs, as an offset for his actions, he insisted she maintain a 3.0 GPA. Even in admitting wrong, he had to have some level of say in her choices.
"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely," were the words of Lord Acton, the 19th-century British politician. Cosby's world and mind were so incredibly corrupted that he didn't even believe that what he was doing was wrong. Woven into the fabric of his existence is a world in which women were in his life for the purposes of being his sexual objects. Most men are taught to think this way. He thought this was OK. From the way he talks, as a man of power, he thought it was his right.
I was never here for Bill Cosby's morally arrogant lecturing of black women + black youth. Overall legacy died long before the accusations
— Brittany Packnett (@MsPackyetti) June 17, 2017
Am I right in a tweet I just read? Bill Cosby has admitted to being guilty during his trial but… it was declared a mistrial? 😰
— (Méls) 'Tis I, Stormaggedon, Dark Lady Of All (@PINKTROID) June 17, 2017
I don't need a courtroom full of people to come to a decision for me to know that Cosby is a scumbag. That was clear ages ago. In a time in America in which the legal system is so obviously perverted toward the maintenance of patriarchal power structures, nobody on earth thought this man was going to be convicted.
The odd irony of the entire thing is that Cosby knows his spokesman is lying. His eyes are failing, not his mouth. He made a living with his voice but would rather let someone else do his bidding at this stage of life. It's a very cruel twist on rape culture that he should be allowed to be silent when he spent so many years silencing dozens of women who cried out to be heard.
No one man should have all that power. But only men do.

So, it looks like President Donald Trump is under investigation after all. After all that nonsense in which he awkwardly yelled at NBC's Lester Holt about the whole matter and started the whirlwind that has had Washington in a mess ever since. It's about his potential involvement with Russia, which is a bizarre web that also involves Attorney General Jeff Sessions. What the president believes himself versus what is actually true, who knows, but Trump says that what he's under investigation for is firing FBI chief James Comey.
So, Amazon just bought Whole Foods. Sure, it sounds a little weird off the top, but think about it. If you were going to take over the world, what would you do? You'd probably buy a major globally branded newspaper, right? Then, to find a proper distribution model for everything else you push, you'd snap up one of the most popular high-end grocery store chains in the country, right? Well, lucky for Jeff Bezos, he has that kind of money, and that's exactly what he did. All hail the new king.
If you didn't know, Rep. Steve Scalise's life was saved by two black people. When a guy decided to open fire on a Congressional Baseball Game practice, elected officials were sent running for cover and had only their security to protect them. One of those Capitol Police officers was a woman named Crystal Griner. She is a lesbian. It was she and a colleague, David Bailey, who engaged in the firefight that killed the man who was ready to mow down a lot more people. Oh, it should be noted: Scalise is not an ally of the LGBTQ community. At all.
The closer we get to the NBA draft, the more LaVar Ball's name comes up. You know who that's good for? Lonzo Ball. After he popped off on his dad in a Foot Locker commercial, he's got his fellow soon-to-be draftees going after LaVar, too. Now, De'Aaron Fox has joined the chorus of people who can't stand the man who started Big Baller Brand, which is sort of hilarious to me. Why on earth would you get involved in this man's drama if you didn't have to? Fox is not here for Ball's games, which means that draft night should be prettttty interesting.
Coffee Break: Look, there's a whole lot of new music out right now, so you need to understand that this weekend is about to be lit on multiple levels.

The game will go on Thursday night at Nationals Park. Despite the fact that a gunman tried to kill elected officials while they were practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game. If you don't know, that's a game played by lawmakers from both sides of the aisle every year that raises money for charity. And although the world of many members of Congress was turned upside down, I imagine Thursday night will be a very celebratory scene. On the real, however, Rep. Steve Scalise is still in the hospital. By the way, here are the two officers who prevented a massacre.
Elizabeth Banks, we need to have a talk. If you're going to be calling people out, please get your facts straight. She said to a crowd that Steven Spielberg has never cast a movie with a female lead. Even though she was corrected, at the time, and told that The Color Purple is actually a thing that exists, she basically ignored that. Because it's real easy to ignore black people when our stories don't center on white people. Meanwhile, people are trying to say that movie was a flop. Which is, of course, completely insane considering how much of a cultural marker that film is.
It's been quite the offseason for Richard Sherman. There were rumors that he wanted out of Seattle, and there were stories about how the locker room might be at odds because of an overall lack of respect for Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. Now, he's opening up about his relationship with Wilson, which at this point feels like it's basically the entire fulcrum of this team's emotional balance. I gotta say, I'm fascinated by what this team is going to be in the upcoming season. They've easily got the most interesting locker room in the NFL.
Welp, it looks like things just got worse for Rick Pitino. The NCAA has ruled that the sex scandal that rocked the Louisville men's basketball program will not only cost Pitino, the team's head coach, a five-game suspension, but they'll also have to vacate wins from 2010-14. You might recall that they won a little something called the 2013 national championship. Of course, who knows what vacating wins really means, because it's not like you can unplay the games and undo the actual moments of victory.
Coffee Break: There are certain goals in soccer that, no matter what, I will remember for the rest of my life. There are also certain guys who will be forever remembered for said strikes. Roberto Carlos is precisely that guy, and 20 years ago is when he made that mark. Check out this look back at one of the best goals, ever.
Snack Time: With Twitter getting a redesign and all this other nonsense going on, don't let any of this distract you from the fact that DuckTales released its new title sequence.
Dessert: If you watch reality TV, this is worth your time.

What's up, gang? This week found us moving away from the sports world in quite a few ways. With the summer coming up, we'll be doing a lot more exploring of the rest of the globe since the sports calendar slows down tremendously until NFL training camps start back.
First, I sat down with ESPN anchor, attorney and friend of the show Adrienne Lawrence about the legal ramifications surrounding the production shutdown of Bachelor In Paradise this week. There have been lawsuits and speculation about sexual misconduct, which overall is a very difficult topic to discuss, considering the overall premise of that program. People get sent to an island to potentially hook up and are plied with booze while they do it. It's stunning that we haven't had more incidents like this on that show, to be honest.

Then, I got on the phone with Riley S. Wilson and Lisa Cortes, executive producers of the Little Apple series, which is described as "a live-action sci/fi drama following a 9-year-old claircognizant (all-knowing) little black girl growing up in a new Harlem." Yes, it's quite the show in the making, and the two talked about how using that character came to be important to them in a larger discussion about what's happening in many urban landscapes across America.
Lastly, I dropped a quick take about Lonzo Ball's newest commercial in which he absolutely roasts his own dad, LaVar. It's genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen in sports in a really long time, and I hope it's an indicator of exactly what we're going to get from the UCLA point guard once he gets drafted next week, wherever he may go. Unfortunately, we had to cut it because the audio wasn't cleared for use, but it's worth seeing.
Enjoy the show!

Michael Bennett speaks to 'The Breakfast Club'
Seahawks defensive lineman covers a wide range of topics on sports and politics
You know Michael Bennett. He's the Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman who wears dashikis on TV, has pulled out of NFL events because of his personal beliefs and generally speaks up about what he feels is right and wrong in America. He's a smart dude and also knows when not to take himself too seriously. Overall, a good dude.
You also know The Breakfast Club, the radio show based in New York City featuring Charlamagne Tha God, who recently penned a book called Black Privilege. Well-known for stirring up controversy, the sit-down with Bennett was guaranteed to be solid. It was.
It was a wide-ranging conversation in which Bennett touched on all sorts of topics, from Colin Kaepernick to 21 Savage.
"Of course I think Kaepernick's being blackballed," Bennett said when asked about the former 49ers quarterback. "Obviously, all the stuff to do with the issues, nobody likes race and politics in sports. I think that's one of the things that nobody really wants to talk about. For him to bring [it] up, I think it struck a lot of people in the wrong way. I mean, the people that really watch football, it's middle America. … And for him to bring that into that crowd was one thing that people felt like shouldn't have been there."
Overall, he's just a guy doing all this because it feels right and he wants to set a good example for the people who matter most to him: his family.
"I don't want my daughters to look back and be like, 'Where were you when they were talking about Black Lives Matter?' " Bennett said. " 'Where were you when they were talking about women's equality?' I want my daughter to be like, 'Daddy, thank you for being a man that stood up at the time when it was time to stand up.'
"You can't really care about the Nikes, the brands that are behind you. Because those brands, they're going to outlive you. That's just how it is. Your legacy in your community is what's going to live on, and that's important for you to always think about."
Oh, and he's writing a book called Things That Make White People Uncomfortable. Welp.

1:53 PMWhat a day. The president spoke to the nation, and it was probably the best public speaking appearance of his life.
WHO BEAT TRUMP INTO SUBMISSION BEFORE THIS ADDRESS? This is… what you'd expect to hear from a president.
— Linda Tirado (@KillerMartinis) June 14, 2017
Every year, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle get together to have fun. It comes in the form of America's onetime pastime: baseball. It's a great tradition that fosters a good environment and allows the people we elect to show off a little of who they are outside of the Capitol. All their staffers attend when the game happens, and it's a good time and solid baseball. That's because they practice. On Wednesday, someone broke the sanctity of that space and opened fire, wounding five, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana. His name is James T. Hodgkinson, and he was killed in a gunfight with Capitol Police.
Poetry is magical. Linguistic entertainment in the purest way isn't easy to do. As someone who writes words for a living, often the hardest part is not writing too much. Paring that down to something meaningful is the reason that we have, well, poets. The best ones are recognized every year by the Library of Congress, and the Poet Laureate award basically makes you the best poet on earth. This year, Tracy K. Smith, a black woman, won it. If you're not familiar with her work, get right. She is tremendous.
Sen. Kamala Harris showed out again Tuesday, with Attorney General Jeff Sessions testifying in open session during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. He answered her questions seemingly as best as he could but clearly was not ready for any level of intense scrutiny. She was dogged, fair and straightforward, but Sessions was completely flummoxed and said as much. He also interrupted her, which was only to be expected, on some level. But Sessions did himself no favors in helping his own case about any potential ties to Russia.
Once again, we learn that LaVar Ball is about his money. When it comes to pushing everything about his Big Baller Brand, dude pulls no punches when it comes to publicity. Now he's moved into a different realm, and it seems like kind of a weird bit. He's got a deal to sell, for $60, trading cards that have his autograph and random sayings that he's concocted. On top of that, he's pushing them on eBay. Why anyone would want to buy that I have no idea, but, hey, smoke 'em if you got 'em, I guess.
Coffee Break: If I'm being honest, I use Uber all the time. As a concept, it's a service that is invaluable for people whom cabs don't often stop for on the street. But the company itself has had major issues. The working environment appears to be awful. It'll be really hard for people to ditch it.
Snack Time: While we're not huge on media business news, sometimes it's interesting. And the story around how SiriusXM managed to acquire Pandora is sort of fascinating.
Dessert: Take some time today to appreciate a very important moment in American television history.

Latest From What Had Happened Was


Welcome to the third installment of the Serious Vintage Podcast, hosted by Nat Moes (@GrandpaBelcher on Twitter), Geoff Moes (@ThallidTosser on Twitter), and Josh Chapple (@joshchapple on Twitter). This was a special episode as we spent some time with Anthony Michaels @Twaun007 on Twitter), an expert on Mishra's Workshop prison decks in the Vintage format. He's also an expert on Sandwich Punch, the gentleman's game that has swept through the Midwest Vintage scene, so we'll look at that as well, along with sanctioned Vintage and casual Magic: the Gathering.
31:38 – Sanctioned Vintage: Good Idea or Great Idea?
In the "Workshoppin' with Twaun" section we talk about the cards that go into a typical Workshop prison deck like Stax or MUD. Twaun explains some of the auto-includes he uses in these decks and makes note of one auto-exclude, Trinisphere. Make sure you hear the story on that; it makes more sense than you might think.
These spells and mana sources give you the best of the best in terms of grinding away at your opponent's board and ability to play spells. Other cards get added as the metagame dictates.
For example, the list Twaun played at the Team Serious Open in Columbus, Ohio, on October 21 (below) was built to beat the metagame we outlined in that section of the podcast.
Serum Powder helps find the Leylines that beat Dredge, Oath, and Burning Long; the Crucibles that beat opposing Shop decks; and the Mazes and Tabernacles that beat creatures. The lower numbers on Thorn of Amethyst and the inclusions of both Karn and Duplicant are also nods to the creature and Workshop-heavy metagame.
Unfortunately for Twaun, the metagame was different from what any of us predicted, to the point where Goblin Welder was the most played card in the top four and there was no Long combo. Twaun finished at 2-2, beating Dredge and UWB Wizards! and losing to Mono-Red Shops and Oath. Twaun says that Goblin Welder and Gorilla Shaman from the Mono-Red deck made an effective tag team against him and that even his Oath opponent, John Beste, acknowledged ripping his only outs in two hard-fought games.
Twaun is still playing Vintage and still chasing his former glory.
Lastly, for those of you interested in joining the growing ranks of Sandwich Punch players, the rules follow. Be warned that once you know the rules, you are automatically a player for life. If you do not wish to join, tread no further. You have been warned.
1. Once a person knows the main rules to sandwich punch they are a player for life. Never punch a person's sandwich unless they are playing.
2. The game begins when one has first modified his or her sandwich.
3. Once said sandwich has been bitten, ripped or cut into, the sandwich is open for punching.
4. Once the sandwich is set down it must be covered with an object. Any object is welcome as long as it is an adamant object. Example: you can put a ketchup packet on the sandwich but you can't just put ketchup on top of the sandwich. Sesame seeds don't count; don't be an idiot. Other examples of objects you can use: fries, forks, spoons, knives, salt or pepper packets, napkins, wrappers, A FREAKIN' OBJECT OF ANY SORT!
5. In the event that a sandwich has been bitten, ripped, or cut into by its owner and set down without an object being placed upon it, that sandwich is legally punchable (Note: the sandwich owner must have his hands off the sandwich as well.).
6. Once punchable that sandwich is punchable until an object is placed upon it, or until it is picked up or touched by the sandwich owner.
7. The object used to cover the sandwich cannot be touched or manipulated by anyone at any time. Example: if someone bumps your table in an attempt to knock off the fry that's covering your sandwich and the fry falls off, the sandwich cannot be punched because that person has manipulated the object. There is an exception to this rule however. Se Bylaws; Acts of God.
8. In the event that a sandwich is unjustly punched, the person that wrongly punched the sandwich must buy the victim a brand new sandwich.
9. Enjoy! Welcome to the sandwich punch game. You are a player for life, and we look forward to punching your sandwich soon!
In the event a person receives a sandwich that is pre-cut into halves, quarters, etc. the person will usually eat one half first. Only the half that is being eaten is in play. The other half is off limits until a bite is taken out of it. This rule only applies if the sandwich arrives pre-cut. If the sandwich owner cuts the sandwich in half him- or herself, then both halves must be covered so as not to be punched.
In the event of an act of God, the object that is covering a person's sandwich is removed by something that is not at the will of any other persons around the sandwich. An example of this is if a random gust of wind blows off a napkin that someone is using to cover a sandwich, that sandwich is fair game to be punched. Another example is if there is an earthquake and it knocks off a fry covering someone's sandwich, the sandwich is fair game to be punched. Once again, these are acts of God, which mean that no one in the proximity of the sandwich had anything to do with the manipulation of the covering object.
In order to punch a sandwich it must be a complete sandwich. In the event that someone puts down a sandwich and takes off one of the pieces of bread, it is no longer a complete sandwich. This method of protection is comparable to putting an object on the sandwich. Keep in mind, however, that the bread is what makes the sandwich whole, not the inner contents. So don't think that you don't have a "complete" sandwich just because you took some lettuce out. As long as there are two pieces of bread its game on.
