Q: send PHP variable to javascript function via HTML I am trying to send a PHP variable to a Javascript funtion using HTML. I dont know if it is possible or not. I am a newbie.
This is all the code in both the files, index.php and abc.php
P.S. I have changed the file name from index.html to index.php
index.php
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-transitional.dtd">
<?php
require("../php/abc.php");
?>

<title>Some Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<link href="file.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Your browser does not support Javascript!!

            <input id="color" type="hidden" readonly="true" value="#000000" />

            (text will look like this)

    <input type="text" id="userName" maxlength="50" size="10" onblur="javascript: check('<?php echo $phpVariable; ?>');" />
    <input type="text" id="messageBox" maxlength="2000" size="50" onkeydown="handleKey(event);" />
    <input type="button" value="Send" onclick="sendMessage();"  />
    <input type="button" value="Delete All" onclick="deleteMessages();"  />

Javscript function
function check(param_name)
{
 var oUser=document.getElementById("userName");
 oUser.value = param_name;
}

abc.php
if(isset($_POST['user_name'], $_POST['action'])) {
$user_name = $_POST['user_name'];
$action = $_POST['action'];

if($action == 'joined') {
    $phpVariable = user_joined($user_name);

} else {
    echo "Error in inserting: " . $sql. "

}

return $user_name;

Javascript
$(document).ready(function (){

   $("#btn-check").click(function(){

       var name = $('#nametxt').val();

       var login = {
           parameter: name
       };

        $.ajax({

              type: 'POST',
              url:  'file.php',
              data: login,
              datatype: 'json'

        }).done(function(data) {

      console.log(data);
     });

   });

});

PHP
<?php

//do some

echo information; -- this way return parameters

?>

A: As you have written, the way to output the value of a PHP variable to an HTML page is by doing <?php echo $phpVariable ?>. In newer versions of PHP (and in older ones where the setting was turned on), you can shorten this to <?= $phpVariable ?>.
You are getting an 'undefined variable' warning probably because the $phpVariable is not getting set. In your code, this variable is only initialized if $action == 'joined'. If you want it to have a default value, give it one first:
$phpVariable = null;
// note that three equals signs are not necessary here
// but a good habit for cases where it matters
if ($action === 'joined') { ... }

When you output the PHP variable into a JavaScript string, you should escape the output so that you don't leave your visitors vulnerable to XSS (cross-site scripting) attacks. In this case, json_encode should be sufficient. However, since your JavaScript is not within a

Why Surface RT? Part 1: Multiple Users
The first in a series of articles describing key advantages of Surface RT over iPad
Paul Thurrott | Nov 10, 2012
While the iPad has certain ecosystem advantages over the recently-released Surface with Windows RT, Microsoft's entry does of course edge out the Apple device in some key areas as well. One of them is its support for multiple users.
When you sign-in to an iPad using a surprisingly lengthy and complicated first-run experience, you establish a connection between the device and your iTunes account, which opens you up to Apple's media content and apps store. But it also binds the device to that one account. This is OK for many individual users, since it's their iPad and they're not sharing it with others.
But the Apple model falls apart in two ways. The first is a shared device. And let's face it, iPads—like the Surface—are expensive, so it shouldn't be surprising that many families buy one iPad and then share it between multiple people. But since the iPad supports only a single user account—that one iTunes account—there's no personalized home screens, email, calendar, apps, and games. Everything is shared.
The second is when you have a family with multiple devices. And while you could allow your kids to sign in to their own iPads, iPods, and/or iPhones using their own iTunes accounts, doing so means you'd be purchasing apps and games multiple times, since each is assigned to a single ID. Apple doesn't support the notion of family accounts, so the alternative is to simply sign-in to each device with your own iTunes account and then send your kids out into the world with the devices. If they don't know your password, you're reasonable safe. But it's ponderous to OK purchases on multiple devices.
Microsoft's Surface with Windows RT solves the first of these two problems by offering native support for multiple accounts. And while it doesn't fully solve the second problem, the Microsoft solution still offers some advantages over the iPad.
Multiple users work in Windows RT (Surface RT as well as any other Windows RT devices) exactly as they do in Windows 8. You will generally sign-in to the device with a Microsoft account, and the first such sign-in is granted administrator privileges on the machine. Subsequent Microsoft account sign-ins, as well as new local accounts, are all created as standard users by default, not admins. And you can enable a Guest account on Surface with Windows RT, just as you can in Windows 8.
Surface with Windows RT can also take advantage of the Windows 8 parental controls feature, called Family Safety. This lets you enforce settings related to web browsing, time limits, Windows Store, and desktop applications and games, and you can receive regular activity reports via email to keep track of what your kids are doing online. (To be clear, iPad/iOS has an excellent set of parental control-like Restrictions too.)
When signed in as any standard user, you can perform any admin-level tasks via a User Account Prompt, which lets you provide your admin credentials (user name and password). This provides parents with a quick way to OK certain tasks that are normally not allowed to their children.
Windows RT's support for multiple user accounts makes it much easier—and safer—to share a single device. The one wrinkle is that Microsoft, like Apple, ties store purchasing to a Microsoft account. So while you could allow each child to use their own account for these purchases, many will prefer to tie all purchases on the device to a single account. And you can do this, by creating individual local accounts for each child, and then linking those accounts to your own Microsoft account.
This is as safe as it is on the iPad because you can require a password to be entered before any purchase is made. And if your crafty child tries to disable this protection, they'll be prompted for your password. Problem solved. (Assuming your kids don't know your password. I was a bit shocked to discover last year that my kids did know my iTunes password, which is fairly complex. Apparently, they were paying attention while I tapped it in on their devices. So be careful.)
Put simply, a Surface with Windows RT device gives you the same user account richness you get in mainstream Windows versions but in a fun, iPad-like device that the kids will love. A Surface RT is no more or less expensive than a comparable iPad. But it absolutely offers a better multi-user experience.

The Last Minute Hitch: 15 May 2020
– Steve Hitchen
The shackles aren't off, but at least we can hear the jailer rattling the keys. With state governments relaxing social isolation rules, our freedom to fly is tantalisingly close again. As it is now, recreational and private flights are now definitely permitted again, but we'll regularly find ourselves chained by other pandemic-restricting measures, around which we must shape our aviation adventures for the time being, and no doubt some time into the future. Social distancing rules must be respected, which means carrying passengers who aren't in your own isolating bubble is still a no-go, unless it's a flying instructor, in which case it's education, not recreation ... provided your instructor is happy to go. And functions at the aero club are still out of bounds unless you can all stand 1.5 metres away from each other and there's less than 10 of you and you're outside. The other thing we need to keep in mind is that we now have to treat some state boundaries like they're brick walls. QLD, SA, Tassie and WA are still closed off, so flights from Grafton to Archerfield, Horsham to Murray Bridge and other border-jumping excursions are a bad idea right now. Shepparton to Wagga Wagga or Narromine to Echuca, yes. However, there is still the murkiness surrounding the phrase "unnecessary travel" that we need to navigate wherever our spinners are pointed. So, some liberties been granted, but we are largely still in the stockades until we can restore the complete freedom that underpins private and recreational aviation.
the international component is an underlying fundamental of the Australian International Airshow
The past couple of weeks have shown us that the full impacts of COVID-19 are still to play out, which is creating more uncertainty regardless of social and recreational restrictions being eased. Three air shows–Oshkosh, Ausfly and Avalon–will not go ahead as advertised. Oshkosh has been canceled completely; a move that surprised absolutely no-one given that it was scheduled so soon after the pandemic broke. Ausfly was October, but now is planned for April next year to give some breathing space in the hope that some normality will be restored enough for the industry to start making plans. Avalon has been deferred to November for a similar reason. Uncertainty was a much bigger thorn to Avalon than it was to Ausfly, as the international component is an underlying fundamental of the Australian International Airshow. With no sign on the horizon of international travel being unleashed, the pandemic has really pulled the rug out from under Avalon. So is November a large enough deferment? It's about as far as it can go. The show is intertwined with the 100th anniversary of the RAAF, and that can't be pushed out past 2021 or it's not in the centenary year anymore. Plus, every month Avalon 2021 is pushed back takes a month-sized bite out of the preparation time for Avalon 2023. Whereas Oshkosh and Ausfly would survive on domestic attendance only (Ausfly is purely Australian anyway), Avalon needs a reliable supply of international oxygen in order to breathe. Lets hope they get it as soon as possible.
CASA has converted the much-loved and much-read Visual Flight Rules Guide (VFRG) into a free PDF download to save us buying hard copies. I'll give this the nod: it's a valuable document that contains most of what's needed to fly safely and fly well and anything that can save us some money is greatly appreciated. I had to have a laugh at their statement that the PDF version can be used in exams provided the user prints off the VFRG in its entirety ... all 466 pages of it. I can't see too many people doing that on their home printer and carrying it into an exam. Still, it will be a great resource in the learning phase and a handy reference to have on your laptop. Download it from the CASA website next time you're in there.
Have you completed our COVID-19 impact survey yet? This is a short questionnaire to try to get a measureable handle on how the GA industry and community has been traveling during the pandemic. Thanks to those who have already contributed some very valuable information. If you're an instructor, CPL or AOC-holder, we're particularly keen for your input. We'll keep it open for another two weeks or until the collector hits the upper limit.
May your gauges always be in the green,

Flavors of decadence
June 30, 2021 | by Lake & Sumter Style
If you think you're a cookie fan now, just wait until you visit Twisted Sugar – you'll be falling in love with cookies all over again.
The new bakery, located at 756 W. Montrose St. #102, in downtown Clermont, offers the sweet treats in flavors like chocolate chip, peanut butter beer, cookies and cream, key lime pie, peanut butter Nutella, banana cream pie, lemon raspberry, smores, chocolate coconut cream, carrot cake, and many more.
The cookies are baked fresh daily and are frosted and decorated by hand upon ordering.
"It's been great. The community has been so awesome and welcoming. I kind of feel we're on the ground level of what's going to happen in Clermont and we are just thrilled to be here," says Twisted Sugar's Owner Cami Hoopes.
Twisted Sugar originated in Utah about eight years ago and today, there are stores in Colorado, Idaho, North Carolina, South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and now Florida, thanks to Cami and business Partner Whitney McBride, whose store opened on May 21.
The bakery offers more than 20 unique flavors of cookies and two featured flavors each month. They also have special holiday/monthly boxes people can order, with specialty flavors not offered on the menu, and a corporate cookie club that offers free delivery for nearby businesses.
Additionally, the shop serves ice cream-based Twisters (Twisted Sugar's version of Disney's Dole Whips) in nine flavors, and sodas in more than 150 various mixed flavors.
In Clermont, the shop is family owned and run. The manager is Cami's daughter McKenzie Harrington.
We want everyone to come in, enjoy our cookies and the vibe we have here. It's just a happy place. A lot of love went into this place, we built it ourselves, and a lot of love goes into each cookie," Cami says.
Twisted Sugar is open Monday-Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and closed Sundays.
For more information, visit twistedsugar.com or call 352.404.8149.

Her Profiles
Northern Fashion LLC
For every woman or girl who's been called bossy, emotional, and everything in between.
We live in an amazing time to be a woman or a girl. At Northern Fashion, we seek to empower women to take control of the narrative and language used to describe them—in the workplace, at school, and beyond.
— Jenna —
I am used to being the only woman in the room. I can't tell you how many times I've been called bossy, told I have no sense of humor because I didn't laugh at a crude joke, or told to calm down when I was explaining something I was passionate about. As a female founder, I searched for coaching materials online to help me deal with this and found that I wasn't alone.
I came across a list of words that female leaders hated hearing in the workplace, and quickly found that I had been called close to every word on the list myself. I thought it was time to offer an alternative—time for women to take control of the language used to describe us.
— Ludwin —
As a proud father, I am always looking for opportunities to show my daughter how important she is—how much power she has to change the world and make a difference. I have had the opportunity to work alongside talented professionals throughout my career. Across the board, I have witnessed the blatant disregard of many of my female counter part as they bring ideas to the table. I am forced to face a hard truth: the road my little girl faces ahead in her life as she builds her career and dreams will be more difficult than it should be.
In Northern Fashion, Jenna and I have founded a wonderful brand that will help me guide and inspire my daughter to be confident and demand the respect that she, along with other future female professionals, is entitled to.
It's up to us to move the conversation forward, and what better way to do it than with fashion?
Keep pushing #UpwardTogether,
-Jenna + Ludwin

21st Century Comics
Ten Questions With Shaenon Garrity
October 22, 2006 Xaviar Xerexes
Shaenon K. Garrity is one of the hardest-working cartoonists on the web today. She is working on or finished four critically acclaimed comic strips: Trunktown, L'il Mel, Smithson and of course, Narbonic (for which she is probably best known). She is also an editor for Viz and Modern Tales. She also volunteers at the San Francisco-based Cartoon Museum where her husband Andrew Farago is the Gallery Manager. That's a lot of comics goin' on…
She's also our community interviewee this month – read on to see your questions answered.
1. As an writer/artist who has worked on many different projects, you obviously have many ideas, and at one point (as you were starting out) you probably were juggling many of them at one time. How did you decide which project to tackle first? How did you decide which comic you would give priority to? How did you get yourself organized and focused? – Sean C.
I do everything at once and burn myself out. Don't do what I do! Get an organizer or something! I do juggle a lot of jobs and projects, but the webcomics are easy for me to keep up on, because I enjoy them and want to work on them all the time. Sometimes I fall behind schedule on Li'l Mell, which is surprisingly hard to write, but that's an issue of creative block rather than time management.
2. While Smithson and Narbonic are both tightly-paced, colorful, and entertaining, they contrast sharply in tone and characterization. What's the biggest difference, if any, in your approach to writing the two comics? Is there something that you want to do with Smithson that you aren't aiming for with Narbonic, or vice-versa? – John Wellington
Smithson's a lot more complicated than Narbonic. At this point, Narbonic is almost over and I've done pretty much everything I wanted to do with it. With Smithson, I'm trying to create a longform, graphic-novel-like comic, and I don't have much experience with that. I'm still learning a lot about longform plotting. Also, with Smithson (and Li'l Mell) I'm working with an artist, which changes my storytelling a lot. In some ways it's easier (not to mention better-looking), but in other ways it's a lot more challenging.
3. On Trunktown, Smithson and Li'l Mell, you've worked with an artist besides yourself. What's your general working process for crafting a story and then how do you collaborate with the artists when it comes to creating the actual comics? – Xerexes
I've done it differently with each of those comics. With Trunktown, Tom Hart and I collaborated on the writing and plotting, spending a lotof time developing the comic together before we produced any strips. Then I did thumbnails and sent them to him, and he often made additional changes between the thumbnails and the finished art. For Smithson, I do a straight-up written script; sometimes I send Brian
Moore sketches, but the visual interpretation is pretty much entirely up to him. I don't even give a lot of layout direction at this point; I trust his instincts. For Li'l Mell, I draw thumbnails and send them to the artist (currently Neil Babra).
I really enjoy working with a collaborator. In a way, it's a less pure way of expressing my ideas — there's only so much I can get across in a script direction or a rough sketch — but I like the gestalt that emerges from working with a good artist.
4. How did [having your webcomics in print as] books effect readership and vice-versa? I got the first one at my local direct market shop, but I wasn't able to find the later ones, even on Amazon.- The Mole
Wow, I'm glad your comic shop carried it! I don't think the Narbonic books have had a lot of bookstore penetration; the vast majority are sold directly from my website. I don't know exactly what effect the print books have had on my readership, but I really like having hard-copy versions of the strip. I have to thank my publisher guy, Mike Barklage, for putting them together, since there's no way I'd be able to do it alone.
We ought to get the later volumes onto Amazon, though. We don't sell a lot through Amazon, but it sure can't hurt.
5. I have often heard that you are a wealth of knowledge on comics, cartoons, etc. Any recommended reading for one who wishes to acquire expertise on those subjects? – Shishio
Although it's true that I know everything there is to know about comics, this is a damn hard question. The Scott McCloud trilogy (Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics, and Making Comics) is a good starting point, as are Will Eisner's Comics and Sequential Art and Graphic Storytelling. Fred Schodt's Manga Manga! is still the best book on manga, although it might have some competition soon.
One of the books that got me into comics, back in high school, was Comix: A History of Comic Books in America, by Les Daniels, which was in my high school library. It was one of the first books on the history of comics, and now it strikes me as pretty crude and heavy handed, but at the time I liked the pop-cult history and the reprints of old comic books that were included with each chapter.
6. Tell us how you feel about the role of organizations like the Cartoon Art Museum in the comics scene — many webcomics fans — many comics fans, period — have never been to a place like that. What will they find there, and why are places like that important? – Joey Manley
If you go to the Cartoon Art Museum, you will see a hot Italian guy glaring at you from the front desk and a whole bunch of comic and cartoon art on the walls.
Like most museums, the Cartoon Art Museum serves two main functions: preservation and education. It has a big collection of original comic artwork, only a small fraction of which is on the walls, and it has a gallery designed to educate visitors about comic art past and present. The Bay Area being a hot bed of cartooning, the Cartoon Art Museum also provides resources and meeting space for local cartoonists.
It's a great institution; I've been volunteering there for six years now, and it's been great for me as a cartoonist and a fangirl.
7. Back in 2003, you wrote one of the most widely read essays at Comixpedia called "Stop Drawing Bad Manga" and obviously from your work and writing about it, are well-schooled in manga. It's been a big influence on North American creators – what are your thoughts on how those influences are being incorporated by American creators into their work? – Xerexes
Ah, "Stop Drawing Bad Manga"! I'm actually really excited right now about the growing success of OEL manga and the increasingly high quality of manga-influenced comics. There are now a lot of talented creators who work in a "manga style," like Svetlana Chmakova, whose Dramacon series is now beating most "real" manga on the bestseller lists, and there are also a lot of creators developing original styles with a blend of Japanese and American elements, like Brian Lee O'Malley and a lot of the artists in the Flight anthologies.
Cartoonists who work in a manga-influenced style are now super-valuable to the American comics industry. I hope they appreciate this, take their work seriously, and make a ton of money. Seriously, people!
8. You edited Modern Tales Longplay, now you edit all of Modern Tales and manga for Viz. That much success can not be coincidence, so what advice would you give to a neophyte, or hopeful, comics editor? – Tim Demeter
I'm not sure "success" is the right word…in the case of Modern Tales, it's more a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But I kid Modern Tales… If for some insane reason you really want to be a comic editor, you need good English skills, and probably some familiarity with comics. That's about it, really. I wish I could say I have a doctorate in comics editing or something, but the requirements are not particularly stringent.
9. Can you talk about the nuts-and-bolts of editing a given book? For instance, are you punching up someone else's straight, Babel Fish-like translation of dialogue? Or has the English text passed through multiple re-writes before you receive it? What's the basic process? And how much caffeine is involved? – Brian Moore
Manga editing is pretty easy, which is why they let me do it. At Viz, each book has a translator, who provides a script, and a letterer,who physically replaces the Japanese text in the book with English. Some titles also have a rewriter to punch up the dialogue, but I often do that myself, as well as general copy editing stuff. My biggest job is simply coordinating the work of the translator and letterer, as well as the other people who work on the book, like the cover designer. I cannot stress enough that I have by far the easiest job in this process.
10. I see no one has yet trotted out the hoary old Desert Island-type questions yet, so let me be the first. If you had to pick five individual issues (or some reasonable equivalent for cartoons not following said format) of any comic from any time or genre, worldwide, to intellectually sustain you on a desert island for an extended period of time, which issues would those be? – jaychanning
All right! A list! I love lists! Okay, my top five desert islandcomics:
A, A', by Moto Hagio. One of my favorite manga, and it's only one volume, so I can bring that, right?
Barnaby, by Crockett Johnson. Just an excellent comic strip.
Ghost World, by Dan Clowes. Although I'm already close to knowing it by heart.
One Hundred Demons, by Lynda Barry. I'm just so into her work.
Locas, by Jaime Hernandez. A big monster graphic novel that'll keep me occupied for a while, and maybe on a desert island I'll actually get around to finishing it.
If not that, five copies of Little Nemo: So Many Splendid Sundays, which I can lash together to build a raft and escape.

In this work some results of a research of soils of farmlands of Osa river basin (the Top Angara region) are stated. Conclusions on one of indicators which is connected with fertility of soils – to the maintenance of basic elements of food of plants – phosphorus, nitrate and ammonium nitrogen, potassium are drawn. The maps reflecting spatial distribution of maintenance of basic elements of food of plants in the territory of Osa river basin are made. Research methods and also ways of the cartographical image are described. As a result of the carried-out work with us it has been revealed that in the majority of the studied samples of soils of Osa river basin is observed deficiency of basic elements of food of plants (in the most part of the analysed samples the content of phosphorus doesn't exceed 25 mg/kg, potassium – 100 mg/kg), however in the lowered relief elements in some cases there is their accumulation and maintenance in that case raised. In the territory of a research – in Osa river basin – special physiographic conditions take place – rather warm climate connected with features of a relief fertile soils – chernozems and dark-humic soils were created. However, now the most part of the lands used in the past – a deposit.

I don't really know of a habit that I wish I didn't have, but I do wish I didn't have my temper. I've worked very hard to control it and pat myself on the back with a real good job. However, an 18 month old little girl knows just how to press my buttons especially when I am tired. So it seems like it has flared up again. I do a really good job of not blowing up in front of Zoey with my own temper tantrum, but I often have to walk away and cool down. Only the rare occasion retreating to my room and screaming into a pillow. This is not something I'm proud of, in fact, it is extremely embarrassing. Even though she can drive me crazy sometimes, I love that little girl more than I can possibly express. (Probably why I get worked up, if I didn't care I wouldn't be so passionate about it.) So there you go. My temper is my work in progress. I'm doing pretty good, but it would be the bad "habit" I wish I didn't have.

Nycticorax violaceus
Cap-cap
Breeder. Fairly common in spring, summer, and fall in Gulf Coast region, but rare in winter. Uncommon in spring, summer, and fall in other regions, but occasional in winter. Low Conservation Concern.
The yellow-crowned night heron (Nycticorax violaceus) averages about 25 ounces in weight and is about 22-28 inches long. Their wingspan is a little less than four feet. It has long yellow to orange legs and a gray body. They have a black head, black bill, red eyes, white cheek patch, and a yellowish-white crown. Males and females look alike. Their call sounds like a loud squawk.
Wintering areas include the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts. They breed from New England south to Florida and west to Texas.
Preferred habitats are wooded wetlands, fresh and saltwater marshes, and shrub thickets.
The yellow-crowned night heron's diet consists mainly of crabs and crayfish. They will also eat fish, eels, mussels, frogs, tadpoles, insects, snails, and small snakes. They forage primarily during dawn and dusk using the still-hunting method, but they will also stir up prey with their legs and stab food items with their bill.
Breeding occurs from February to June. Their breeding ritual consists of territorial displays and a greeting ceremony. Females lay from three to five pale blue-green eggs on a nest of sticks in trees or on the ground. Males and females share in the incubation process that lasts about three weeks. Nestlings are taken care of by both parents. They are solitary birds, but are sometimes found nesting with other heron species in colonies.

Merely a little bit smaller in dimension than the USA, Brazil is the 5th biggest state on this planet. it truly is domestic to unique Rio de Janeiro, the powerful Amazon River, the world-renowned Carnival, and naturally, its shrinking rainforests. a short heritage of Brazil bargains a concise but accomplished account of the wealthy and sundry historical past of Brazil, putting the political, fiscal, and cultural occasions of at the present time into vast old context. The e-book opens with an summary of pre-colonial Brazil and is going directly to research the background of Portuguese exploration, in the course of the early years of the slave exchange among Africa and the Americas, and the production of the biggest slaveholding society within the smooth international. in this period, a colourful African tradition left its mark, joined by way of impacts from eu, Asian, and center jap immigrants, all of which mixed to create sleek Brazil. After a short-lived First Republic on the flip of the 20th century, Brazil skilled greater than 3 many years of army dictatorship sooner than it built the colourful democracy that characterizes the rustic this day. a quick background of Brazil additionally examines key old figures and the hallmarks of Brazilian pop culture: football, Carnival, song, and tv.
Bolivia was once the heart level for essentially the most vital Latin American social revolutions of the 20th century, one who happened amid a sea of super political instability. the growth of geared up hard work that happened through the Twenties used to be met with a number of executive reprisals and used to be principally curbed by means of the Chaco conflict with Paraguay of 1932-1935.
Hassoldt Davis (1907–1959) was once an adventurer and commute author whose paintings Ernest Hemingway as soon as defined as "fantastic . . . really good. " together with his intrepid new spouse, filmmaker Ruth Staudinger, Davis units off on an implausible honeymoon, first to Devil's Island, after which down an unexplored river within the inside of French Guiana.
In White Lies and Black Markets, Fatah-Black bargains a brand new account of the colonization of Suriname one of many significant ecu plantation colonies at the Guiana Coast within the interval among 1650-1800. whereas regularly portrayed as an remoted tropical outpost, this examine locations the colony within the context of its connections to the remainder of the Atlantic international.
Albuquerque's resistance made him a hero for a while, but his subsequent retreat in 1635 proved humiliating and cost him a few years in a Portuguese prison. Eventually the Dutch West India Company began to suffer financial reverses, and it sought an end to the war in 1636. After a series of long truces interrupted by war, the Dutch were driven out in 1654. Credit for the Portuguese victory actually goes more to the colonial resistance than to the Crown, although the latter did provide the military support to defeat the Dutch.
Small and large companies plied the trade, utilizing slaves to do the hard labor. Many succeeded in circumventing the royal inspectors, smuggling out a considerable profit in gold and later in diamonds. Most of the profits did not even remain in either Portuguese or Brazilian hands. Northern Europeans, especially British technicians and mine operators, provided the tools, chemicals, and expertise to run the mines, bought the diamonds, and paid out a share of the profits to the Brazilian operators.
Eventually, however, the colonists tired of enriching distant merchants, bankers, and nobles at their expense. The seeds of colonial independence movements actually were planted just about simultaneously with the flag of possession. Second, for Brazil, mercantilism led to what has been called a "boombust" cycle. When the commodity no longer sold well, because another country out-produced Brazil, had a better and cheaper variety, or when it ran out, as with the gold mines, that area of the country went into decline.


Here's another common question asked by a visitor to our website.
"Hello, I am interested in the Valencia Gas Coal Basket. I would be using it in a fireplace insert that used to be used for wood burning to which a gas line has been installed. The insert has glass doors. Can the Valencia gas coal basket be used with the doors closed, and of course the flue open? Thanks - Michael"
YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT INSTALL A GAS APPLIANCE INTO A WOOD BURNING INSERT! Wood stoves are meant to be used as a controlled combustion appliance, ie, using a small amount of air to burn the wood slowly to extract the most amount of heat from it. An open gas fire needs an EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF AIR to burn properly.
Failure to supply adequate combustion air, most especially by closing the doors on the insert, WILL CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. Houses have been blown up and people killed by doing this. PLEASE DON'T CONSIDER THIS!
You would have to remove your wood stove in order to install a gas appliance in your fireplace.

A: First of all I want to tell you that there are no need of three different function to move active class we can do it using a simple script code.
This is the snippet for your problem solution:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.divbtnbg').click(function() {
    $('.divbtnbg').removeClass('active');
    $(this).addClass('active');
  });
});
.divbtnbg {
  display: inline-block;
  border: 1px solid #CCC;
  background-color: white;
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px rgb(130, 130, 130) !important;
  cursor: pointer;
  vertical-align: middle;
  max-width: 100%;
  padding: 16px;
  text-align: center;
  border-radius: 4px;
  color: rgb(130, 130, 130) !important;
}

.divbtnbg.active,
.divbtnbg:hover {
  color: rgb(130, 130, 130) !important;
  background-color: #e7f6fe;
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px rgb(130, 130, 130) !important;

Has Labour committed to supporting a second referendum?
Short answer: Yes, in principle. But not quite yet.
The party wants MPs to vote on its own Brexit plan on Wednesday first, when the next round of motions about the UK's withdrawal from the European Union are debated in the Commons.
That is expected to be defeated, at which point Labour has announced it is "committed to also putting forward or supporting an amendment in favour of a public vote to prevent a damaging Tory Brexit being forced on the country".
No date has been set for the next round of votes, but Theresa May has said that she will put her Brexit deal to the vote on 12 March. A second referendum amendment is expected then.
What amendment will Labour's frontbench support at that point?
This is not decided. One possibility is that Labour will back the so-called Kyle-Wilson compromise, an amendment being promoted by two Labour backbenchers, Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson.
The essence of their amendment is that Labour would allow May's Brexit deal to pass the Commons in return for it being subject to approval via a second referendum.
But there are deep reservations about the Kyle compromise in some Labour circles because it would involve Labour allowing May's Brexit deal to pass. When asked about the amendment, a Labour source repeated that the party "would not vote for a damaging Tory Brexit".
Kyle himself says that Labour could abstain to allow May's deal through but that may not persuade the doubters. On the other hand, without promising that Labour would allow May's Brexit deal through parliament, there is no realistic prospect of attracting Conservative support.
Is there a majority for a second referendum, even if Labour were to back it? Probably not, although it is not certain.
Is the point of Labour's move to head off further defections to the Independent Group (TIG)?
The strength of Labour's move is that it helps bring the parliamentary party together, at a point when the Conservatives are increasingly divided over a no-deal Brexit and the anti-Brexit Independent Group is hoping for more defections from Labour.
The principal issue uniting the eight former Labour and three former Conservative MPs in TIG is opposition to Brexit and support for a second referendum. By finally opening the door to supporting a second referendum, Labour closes off their principal selling point.

I started drafting a post about this topic but I didn't like where it was going, it just felt too long haha, so I started over. While I know summer isn't officially over until September 22nd, it is basically over for me. I am back to work, and have been for over a week, and I actually had my first Labor Day off in 10 years. I've even indulged in a few pumpkin coffees/lattes.
So before I officially transition to fall, I wanted to celebrate the good times that happened over the summer!
Until we meet again, summer!
Your summer looks like it was jam packed full of exciting races and adventures. I love the pumpkin spice lattes too! I've already got a new pumpkin spice potpourri in my front hallway.
The lattes are so good! I've only had them all iced so far, since it is still relatively warm, but soon it will be time for hot lattes/coffee.
I feel that summer's over too, with kids going back to school and my last tri of the season on Sunday and marathon training heating up! I just heard pumpkin lattes are back, yummy! I drink mine hot even in the summer!
You've had a terrific summer! Here's to many more adventures!
It's always sad to say goodbye to summer, but I am definitely looking forward to fall!
We had only one summer - Rain, Rain and More Rain!
I am back at work so I feel like summer is technically over. However, it doesn't feel like fall yet. We are still hitting 90 degrees - way to hot for pumpkin spice lattes, scarves, and boots which are all my fall favs.
Your summer sounds like it was amazing. Unfortunately, in Baton Rouge, it's still summer. I can't wait until fall weather hits here, which should be in November. But at least Starbucks serves pumpkin spice lattes now.
I love you and love having so many wonderful memories with you.

In Ocean Springs, MS, you will find a quirky restaurant built with character. From witty signs to license plates from throughout America, the Shed BBQ and Blues Joint is known as a favorite place for smoky, southern barbecue among locals and tourists alike. Opened in 2001 as a small take-out barbeque shed, it quickly expanded to a destination for live music and famous barbecue.
Today, it is a 15,000-square-foot nationally recognized barbeque joint that has been featured on the Food Network, won multiple barbeque competitions -- including claiming the World Grand Champion title at Memphis in May 2015 -- and even sells its sauces and rubs in grocery stores internationally.
It all started with Brad Orrison, a goofy guy with a knack for entrepreneurialism and a love of dumpster diving. After spending most of his out-of-class time in college rummaging through dumpsters, he had an epiphany, according to the company's history. He decided to turn his junk collection into a small barbecue joint.
Brad created a barbeque legend on "a shoestring budget without the shoestring," said Brooke Lewis, Brad's sister and The Shed chief financial officer.
This restaurant became a family affair starting with his sister Brooke. Eventually everyone was involved in creating the perfect menu items and marketing plan needed to run a successful barbecue joint.
As their business has evolved throughout the years, one thing that has stayed consistent is the need for providing a quality product. In addition to using all-natural ingredients, the Shed management also believes that having the right equipment is essential.
To achieve this, they utilize Alto-Shaam Cook & Hold ovens to finish all their proteins, including brisket, pulled pork and chicken, as well as some other dishes. This helps free up space in the pit smoker, as well as help keep the product consistent.
The Shed cooks foods such as Baby back ribs, spare ribs, pork shoulder, brisket, chicken, mac n' cheese, vegetables and much more. Most of the smoking is done overnight, requiring reliable equipment that will operate consistently.
Reliability is particularly important for the equipment kept near the large pit smoker. The smoker emits a high level of heat in the already hot Gulf Coast region. The temperature of this area can often reach 110° Fahrenheit. This can be very tough on any piece of equipment, but the Cook & Hold ovens are built for tough conditions.
Cook & Hold ovens are equipped with Halo Heat® technology, which helps to create an even distribution of heat. This contributes to the overall quality of the entire product.
"The Halo Heat® system is consistent. You don't have too much heat at the bottom, not too much on the top" said Zink.
The ovens also aid in reducing electricity costs and are easy to place anywhere in the kitchen because they do not need to be put under a hood.

Alberich Józef Siwek (15. května 1920, Trojanowice, Polsko – 12. prosince 2008, Wąchock, Polsko) byl cisterciácký mnich, kněz, opat polského kláštera Wachock. V letech 1996–2007 byl opatem-administrátorem kláštera Vyšší Brod.

Život
Narodil se v Trojanowicích v Polsku. Dne 12. září 1940 složil řeholní sliby v cisterciáckém klášteře Mogiła. V roce 1946 byl vysvěcen na kněze a následně působil v Henrykówě. V roce 1951 začal působit ve Wąchocku. V letech 1953–1960 postupně působil v Rakousku, Švýcarsku a Německu.

Dne 14. září 1989 byl zvolen opatem ve Wąchocku, a 2. prosince téhož roku mu radomský biskup Edward Materski udělil opatskou benedikci. Opatskou funkci vykonával do roku 1996, kdy rezignoval, a odešel jako opat-administrátor do Vyššího Brodu. Zde působil do května roku 2007. Zasloužil se o rekonstrukci tohoto kláštera. Jeho nástupcem je konventuální převor Justin Berka.

V roce 2007 se vrátil do Wąchocku, kde strávil poslední část života. Zemřel po amputaci nohy 12. prosince 2008. Dne 17. prosince téhož roku byl ve Wąchocku pohřben do opatské hrobky.

Oldest evidence of life on land found in 3.48 billion-year-old Australian rocks
Fossils discovered by UNSW scientists in 3.48 billion year old hot spring deposits in the Pilbara region of Western Australia have pushed back by 580 million years the earliest known existence of microbial life on land.
Previously, the world's oldest evidence for microbial life on land came from 2.7- 2.9 billion-year-old deposits in South Africa containing organic matter-rich ancient soils.
"Our exciting findings don't just extend back the record of life living in hot springs by 3 billion years, they indicate that life was inhabiting the land much earlier than previously thought, by up to about 580 million years," says study first author, UNSW PhD candidate, Tara Djokic.
"This may have implications for an origin of life in freshwater hot springs on land, rather than the more widely discussed idea that life developed in the ocean and adapted to land later."
Scientists are considering two hypotheses regarding the origin of life. Either that it began in deep sea hydrothermal vents, or alternatively that it began on land in a version of Charles Darwin's "warm little pond".
"The discovery of potential biological signatures in these ancient hot springs in Western Australia provides a geological perspective that may lend weight to a land-based origin of life," says Ms Djokic.
"Our research also has major implications for the search for life on Mars, because the red planet has ancient hot spring deposits of a similar age to the Dresser Formation in the Pilbara.
"Of the top three potential landing sites for the Mars 2020 rover, Columbia Hills is indicated as a hot spring environment. If life can be preserved in hot springs so far back in Earth's history, then there is a good chance it could be preserved in Martian hot springs too."
The study, by Ms Djokic and Professors Martin Van Kranendonk, Malcolm Walter and Colin Ward of UNSW Sydney, and Professor Kathleen Campbell of the University of Auckland, is published in the journal Nature Communications.
The researchers studied exceptionally well-preserved deposits which are approximately 3.5 billion years old in the ancient Dresser Formation in the Pilbara Craton of Western Australia.
They interpreted the deposits were formed on land, not in the ocean, by identifying the presence of geyserite – a mineral deposit formed from near boiling-temperature, silica-rich, fluids that is only found in a terrestrial hot spring environment. Previously, the oldest known geyserite had been identified from rocks about 400 million years old.
Within the Pilbara hotspring deposits, the researchers also discovered stromatolites – layered rock structures created by communities of ancient microbes. And there were other signs of early life in the deposits as well, including fossilised micro-stromatolites, microbial palisade texture and well preserved bubbles that are inferred to have been trapped in a sticky substance (microbial) to preserve the bubble shape.
"This shows a diverse variety of life existed in fresh water, on land, very early in Earth's history," says Professor Van Kranendonk, Director of the Australian Centre for Astrobiology and head of the UNSW school of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences.
"The Pilbara deposits are the same age as much of the crust of Mars, which makes hot spring deposits on the red planet an exciting target for our quest to find fossilised life there."
In September 2016, Professor Kranendonk was part of an international team that found what is possibly the oldest evidence of life on Earth – 3.7 billion-year-old fossil stromatolites in Greenland deposits that were laid down in a shallow sea. He has also given geological advice to NASA on where to land the rover on the 2020 Mars Exploration Mission.
"The Pilbara provides us with a rich record of early life on Earth and is a key region for developing exploration strategies for Mars to try and answer one of the greatest enigmas in science and philosophy – did life arise more than once in the universe?" says Professor Walter, founding director of the Australian Centre for Astrobiology.
"That's why we are working to gain World Heritage listing for its main fossil sites."
Professor Walter, AM, will give a lecture on the search for life on Earth and Mars at UNSW, on Wednesday 17 May at 6 pm in the Scientia Building.

Q1. What would weight loss make more possible?
It might be body satisfaction, better health or more happiness. It is different for everyone, so list whatever it would truly make possible for you.
Q2. What would achieving these things make more possible?
It might be more confidence, more energy, or even being a better parent. Again, list whatever it would make possible for you.
Q3. What would achieving these things make more possible?
And keep on asking this same question until it no longer makes sense, you can't answer it after considered thought, or you start repeating what you've already said. The purpose here is to thoroughly explore the energy that is sitting behind your weight loss goal.
Q4. Now, of all the things you've written (body satisfaction, more energy, being a better parent, etc, etc.) which is the deal-breaker or deal-breakers?
Which one or ones pull on your heart, and make you feel that you cannot live without? Be selective here. Which is truly most important to you?
Q5. For this chosen item or items, brainstorm: how else could you achieve this, if weight loss wasn't an option?
What are all the other ways you can improve your body satisfaction, get more energy or be a better parent, for example, if you couldn't lose weight?
Q6. Out of all of these new strategies, which one jumps out at you?
What new strategy excites you and really helps you to achieve what you selected?
Q7. What action steps are required to achieve this newly chosen strategy?
Be specific here, and put a timeline in place stating when you will complete it.
When you have the willingness to turn your struggles upside down, you'll likely discover a greater sense of purpose, motivation and hope.
As all of a sudden, you see more clearly what it is that you are actually struggling with.
