Biologics Benefit Asthma Patients in Real-World Use Study
— Drugs reduced exacerbations and need for oral steroids
NEW ORLEANS -- Real-world data from the Mayo Clinic confirmed that biologic therapies reduce asthma exacerbations and the need for steroids in patients with severe, refractory, oral steroid-dependent asthma, according to a study presented here.
These patients experienced an average of four exacerbations in the 12 months before switching to mepolizumab (Nucala) or benralizumab (Fasenra), which dropped to one exacerbation in the year after starting on one of these biologic agents (P=0.002), reported Dayne Voelker, MD, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
And the median dose of prednisone dropped from 20 mg in the 6 months before starting the biologic to 5 mg in the 6 months after (P=0.001), according to the findings presented at CHEST 2019.
"Most of the literature we have on these drugs is from phase III drug approval trials," Voelker told MedPage Today. "There hasn't been a lot of follow-up to tell us what is going on with their real-world use, where patients aren't carefully selected based on a set of inclusion or exclusion criteria."
Biologics now approved for the treatment of asthma include the IL-4 and IL-13 inhibitor dupilumab (Dupixent); the IL-5 receptor antagonists benralizumab, mepolizumab, and reslizumab (Cinqair); and omalizumab (Xolair), an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody that targets IgE.
In one of the first studies to assess the efficacy of biologic drugs for severe asthma outside the clinical trial setting, Voelker's group conducted a retrospective chart review of electronic medical records for all severe asthma patients treated with biologics from January 2016 to December 2018 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
The study included data on 50 asthma patients treated with biologic therapies for 6 months or more (42 with mepolizumab and 8 with benralizumab). Key endpoints included asthma exacerbations, prednisone dosing, and change in FEV1. The median time of oral prednisone use before beginning a biologic therapy was 2 years.
"The data from the phase III clinical trials were strong in these patients, and our data is in line with that," Voelker said. "We show that these medications can be used effectively and efficiently in the real-world setting in the right patient population."
FEV1 did not change significantly at 6 and 12 months on biologic therapy, compared to baseline lung function scores. Voelker said the lack of impact on lung function, as measured by FEV1, is consistent with the clinical trials data.
"Some individual patients saw big changes, but overall we didn't see a statistical change in FEV1," he said.
He added that biologic therapies appear to be most effective in patients with Th2 endotype disease with eosinophil-mediated inflammation.
"In these patients, (biologic) therapies can represent a game changer," he said. "These drugs are expensive, but long-term use of steroids is also detrimental, with lots of side effects. We know that these drugs work in these patients and they lower the need for oral steroids. So, in the long term they may prove cost beneficial."
The researchers reported no relevant relationships with industry related to this study.

The Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps staff includes 31 headquarters' personnel and more than 1,910 retired Air Force officer and enlisted military instructors. There are 870 Air Force Junior ROTC units with nearly 120,000 cadets in high schools across the United States and selected Department of Defense Dependent Schools in Europe and the Pacific and public schools in Puerto Rico and Guam. The Air Force plans to continue expansion efforts to 955 units by 2020 when funds are available. With the addition of new units, AFJROTC is expected to reach more than 135,000 cadets worldwide.
Air Force JROTC provides leadership training and an aerospace science program for high school students. Secondary school students who enroll in the AFJROTC program are offered a wide variety of curricular and extra-curricular activities. The program explores the historic and scientific aspects of aerospace technology and teaches high school students self-reliance, self-discipline and other characteristics found in good leaders. The AFJROTC program is open to 9th-12th grade students who are citizens of the United States. The program is not a recruiting tool for the military services and those students who participate in AFJROTC do not incur any obligation to the Air Force.
Aerospace science comprises 40 percent of the curriculum, leadership education 40 percent, and health and wellness for life training 20 percent. All students who successfully complete AFJROTC classes are granted credit toward graduation. Classroom study includes the heritage of flight, principles of aircraft flight and navigation, human requirements of flight, development of aerospace power, aerospace vehicles, rocketry, space and technology programs, and the aerospace industry. Students are also introduced to military customs and courtesies, citizenship in the United States, first aid, wellness, health and fitness, basic drill and ceremonies, effective communications, management, human relations, and life after high school. All uniforms and curriculum materials are provided by the Air Force.
To reinforce what is learned in the classroom, cadets participate in many outside activities such as field trips to military bases, aerospace facilities and industries, museums, civilian airports and other areas related to aerospace education.
Cadets also participate in parades, leadership laboratory activities, civilian air rifle marksmanship programs, drill team competitions, color and honor guards, military balls, and honorary academic groups. Many AFJROTC units complement the curriculum through the cooperation and resources of organizations such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Civil Air Patrol, and the National Endowment for Financial Education.
Drill Team consists of cadets practicing and performing precise and regulated movements along with armed/unarmed marching, rifle movements, and occasional non-regulation exhibition.
Raider Team is a physical fitness team of cadets that compete with other schools within the area through raider meets in which cadets go through multiple strenuous event to determine the champion.
Color Guard is the face of the core a group ofcadets that present the colors of the US and State flag at important events around the state.
The Kitty Hawk Air Society , a group of cadets that excel in academics that help tutor other cadets in there studies improving the overall GPA average of the cadets and the corps.
Exhibition Team practices non-regulation rifle movements such as rifle spinning and Ariel maneuvers.
Our up and coming Marksman Team will be premiering next fall.
Community service is a major part of the cadet experience and helps instill a sense of civic pride and citizenship. Projects range from working with national organizations like the March of Dimes, Muscular Dystrophy, the National Red Ribbon Campaign, and Special Olympics to participating in local community projects such as cleaning and refurbishing cemeteries, building parks, and sponsoring Little League baseball teams. In school year 2012-2013, JROTC cadets performed more than 1.56 million hours of community service.
Cadets are also very active in drug abuse prevention education. The Awareness Presentation Team is a program designed to provide cadets as positive role models for elementary and middle school students. Cadets visit the younger students at their schools and present talks and skits in an effort to deter drug use and abuse. Active unit programs make presentations to thousands of students each year.
AFJROTC cadets who choose to continue their education may receive special consideration for Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarships. Many of these scholarships will pay for two, three, or four years of tuition, books, and fees at numerous universities and colleges and allow cadets to pursue studies in various technical and non-technical majors.
Cadets completing two years of AFJROTC and who continue ROTC in college may waive one term of the AFROTC program. Students completing three years in AFJROTC may receive credit for a full year of college level AFROTC.
In addition, cadets electing to enter the military immediately after graduating from high school are eligible to enlist in the services at one to two pay grades higher than other enlistees. Students completing three years in JROTC are eligible to enter the Air Force two pay grades higher than other enlistees and are automatically enrolled into the Community College of the Air Force to receive college credit toward their associate degree.


If you are using group policy (and why wouldn't you) to configure your WEM agents, pay close attention to leading and/or trailing spaces. This has happened twice to me with agent versions 4.2 and 4.3.
The Connection Broker Name and Site Name fields in the Workspace Environment management\Agent Host Configuration administrative template must NOT contain any leading or trailing spaces. If you have any, then the agent cannot communicate with your WEM Broker server nor can it load the correct Configuration Site.

Trivantis® had the pleasure of hosting Jane Hart for a webinar, titled "Beyond Instructional Design: How Performance Support Is Revolutionizing eLearning." The content of this eBook below is adapted from that webinar and Jane's expert insights on performance support.
Modern learners want more out of their training programs. In this eBook, you'll learn how to move beyond instructional design to performance management, based on Jane Hart's insight shared in a recent Trivantis webinar.
Rather than accessing a package of eLearning courses, as we often push down to people in the corporate world, people prefer to pick out things as and when they need them. They're moving away from the push down, packaged up approach and toward the on-demand pull approach. Today, learning is focused on performance—getting a job done. Learners want performance support, not formal training. Performance Support: Insights From Jane Hart will inform you on how to make the switch from traditional instructional design to performance support.
Trends in modern authoring and learning habits?
Jane Hart, Founder of the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies, shared her knowledge with us for this eBook. She is widely recognized as an expert on performance support and modern learning.

Q: Números Primos em JAVA Estou fazendo um trabalho em Java, onde o usuário deve informar números menores que 20, e depois esse programa deve dizer quais deves números são primos. Não sei se minha lógica está certa, mas no console não aparece nada, fica apenas vazio.
Segue o código:
package javatrabalho;

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class trabalhopronto {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String entrada1;
    int numero, contador;
    numero = 0;
    contador = 1;

    if (numero > 20) {
        System.out.println("Informe um numero menor que 20");
    }

    while (numero <= 20) {

        entrada1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Informe um numero menor que 20");
        numero = Integer.parseInt(entrada1);

        // saber se um numero é primo
        if (numero < contador) {

            if (numero % contador == 0) {
                contador = contador + 1;
            }

            if (contador > 2) {
                System.out.println("O numero é primo" + numero);
            } else {
                System.out.println("O numero não é primo" + numero);
            }

        }

    }

}

}

A: Olá ayanami001, seja bem vinda ao pt.stackoverflow.com.
Analisei o seu código e reparei que o problema está na seguinte condição: if (numero < contador) { ...
Não sei se você reparou, mas ao iniciar a aplicação, a variável contador está sendo inicializada com o valor 1 e sempre que você digitar um valor maior que 0 e menor ou igual a 20, a aplicação jamais irá percorrer esse bloco de código dentro do if citado acima. Isso explica o porque que a sua aplicação não exibe nada no seu console nesse cenário.
Dica: Também reparei que você não utilizando uma das regras e convenções de nomenclatura de classes Java  ¹(toda classe deve começar com uma letra maiúscula e, de preferência, não pode conter letras não ASCII) no seu projeto, claro que isso não impedirá a execução da sua classe Java, porém, aconselho começar à se adaptar nesses detalhes que são extremamente importantes.

The state of Florida has an international reputation as a great tourist destination. Both visitors and residents enjoy Florida's wide variety of leisure activities, including our beautiful beaches, lakes, rivers, parks, and other recreational areas, including the famous Florida Everglades or "Sea of Grass", as it is also known.
Moreover, the state (especially South Florida), is the gateway between the United States and South America. Millions of tons of merchandise are imported and exported through Miami and Fort Lauderdale's sea ports and airports, with both cities serving as important hubs of international commerce, bringing thousands of visitors to South Florida who at some point during their stay will likely engage in recreational activities similar to those enjoyed by residents and tourists alike.
Thousands of watercraft, boats, Jet Skis, ATVs, and campers are operated all over the state of Florida and its waterways by millions of visitors and residents every year. Despite the fact that RVs (recreational vehicles) are often oversized and overpowered vehicles and are among the more difficult vehicles to successfully maneuver and handle, Florida law does not require any special training or special driver's license to operate most recreational vehicles. For example, while the law requires commercial truck drivers to have a commercial driver's license (CDL), operators of motor homes are not subject to such requirements despite that given their size, some of these vehicles are as difficult to operate as regular buses or commercial trucks.
Moreover, oftentimes these powerful RVs are operated by inexperienced, negligent or intoxicated drivers that chose to ignore laws, rules and common sense thereby causing accidents that bring about injuries, and even death to innocent people. Due to the fact that the warm climate makes our state a preferred place for retirees, we often find large motor homes being operated by senior citizens who oftentimes have difficulties seeing, steering and reacting fast enough under some driving conditions to safely operate an RV.
Many accidents involving recreational vehicles happen off road. Jet Skis, boats and other watercraft are among the favorite toys of many beach, lake and river enthusiasts in Florida. Given their speed and sudden acceleration characteristics, Jet Skis are among the kinds of watercraft more prone to accidents. These vehicles are capable of reaching speeds upward of 70 miles per hour. Many operators fail to realize that falling off and hitting the water at such speeds is like hitting a concrete wall. Such an impact will likely knock anyone out, and if the operator (or the passenger) failed to wear a life jacket, they will likely sink to the bottom and die. Therefore, regardless of rules and regulations, it makes sense to wear a life jacket while on the water, especially when riding a Jet Ski. Operators of Jet Skis also do not know that once the Jet Ski is throttled down, they lose the ability to steer and control the PWC (personal water craft), often resulting in horrible collisions.
Under Florida law, F.S. 327.39(1), it is illegal for a person to operate a personal watercraft unless such person is wearing a type I, type II, type III or type V personal flotation device (life jacket) approved by the United States Coast Guard.
Sometimes accidents happen because the recreational vehicle had a defective design or was poorly manufactured. At other times the injuries are made worse because the safety equipment that the victim was wearing while riding on the recreational vehicle failed to protect him or her. In many cases, a claim may be filed not only against the operator of the vehicle, but also against the owner, manufacturer, designer, or retailer who ultimately sold or rented the recreational vehicle as well.
Much like accidents on regular motor vehicles, accidents on recreational vehicles can cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries that lead to paralysis, burns, scarring, amputations, lacerations, and even death.
The lawyers of Greenberg Stone & Urbano have over 130 years of combined experience handling all types of personal injury cases, including recreational vehicles like those mentioned in the preceding paragraphs. They have helped thousands of clients throughout Florida recover damages as compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and long-term care when the negligent operation of a recreational vehicle has injured them and left them incapacitated and unable to support their families.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a recreational vehicle accident, please contact us immediately by calling 786-408-8973. We offer a free initial consultation and handle all personal injury matters on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay us anything unless we recover compensation for you.

Biography and 2006 - 10
Life in Pembrokeshire
I have a degree in Politics and History, gained from University College Cardiff in 1981, and in 1992 I gained an MSc in Equal Opportunity Studies at Southampton University.
I have worked within the care and support sector since 1982, when I undertook voluntary, community based work in rural south India.
In late 1982 I joined the Society of St James, an organisation working with people who had become homeless. I stayed with St James for 9 years, and spent the last 5 as Chief Officer. During that time I was actively involved in developing and maintaining the organisation, and the number of schemes St James ran rose from 2 to 10 during the period of my stewardship.
I was then Community Services Manager (Mental Health) for Southampton and SW NHS Trust, and worked from 1992 to 1994, managing both in - patient acute and community based services.
In 1994 I became the Chief Officer of ROCC, an umbrella organisation for the voluntary and statutory supported housing/community care sector - with the particular purpose of generating and helping to sustain partnership and multi - agency working. When I joined ROCC, the membership was at about 30 organisations - within a short period that had risen to well over 100 member organisations and I helped ROCC achieve a reputation as a critically important agency in the facilitation and development of multi agency partnership work. I remained with ROCC until 2000.
I have worked as a self employed consultant and trainer since 2000.
I have extensive experience of being a Trustee/Director of voluntary and charitable organisations - including as Chair of Children in Need (SW region) a founder member of the Hampton Trust (Hampshire and Isle of Wight) and was the Chair of Westgate Care and Support, (part of Winchester Housing Group). I have also chaired Mind groups and been on the Boards of several housing and homelessness groups.
This portfolio of experience and knowledge has given me a great deal of knowlege and awareness of the issues that face voluntary and statutory agencies, the dynamics and pressures upon the people who lead those organisations, the imperatives : both political and practical that are in operation, and a perspective and practice as a consultant that is based upon matching idealism with reality, pragmatism with
principle, action with reflection.
From 2006 -2010, I worked as an independent Assessor for the Alliance, a Herefordshire based membership organisation of third sector health and social care providers (www.allianceherefordshire.org.uk).This work involved my being part of a team of people assessing organisations for accreditation to be included on a Register of Approved Providers, a major quality, policy and practice initiative. The benefits for organisations are that they gain an independent and well informed overview of the quality of the providers and the services that they are providing. involved in Quality Asurance work.
In 2009 I was recruited as a member of the Affiliate Pool of the Audit Commission.
In February of 2009, I completed the sheltered housing review for Notting Hill Housing Trust and delivered a comprehensive report, with a range of recommendations, and which has been adopted as a part of the organisation's 5 year strategy for working with older people. This review was very well received by residents and staff alike.
In 2008 I delivered a Diversity consultancy day for medical staff of Northumbria Healthcare Foundation NHS Trust, a number of service user empowerment and involvement training days for Futures at Knightstone, and developed further work around service user issues. I also ran two series of Action Learning Sets (focussed around Value Based Practice) with front line staff of Futures at Knightstone.
In May 2008 I began working with Notting Hill Housing Trust, undertaking a review of the sheltered housing provided by the organisation, a piece of work on which I was scheduled to report by the end of December(this was extended into 2009, by mutual agreement.)
Saw the completion of a three year, whole service, Working with Diversity training and action planning programme for Solent Mind. (This work was undertaken as a TUKLO ORENDA Associate).
The aim of this programme was to initially raise questions, ideas and awareness about the impact of discrimination upon all people involved in the work of Solent Mind, and then to endeavour to improve services, practices, attitudes and understanding of the value of taking a diversity centred approach to that work.
This (Solent MIND) programme was concluded in April 2007 - a brief report and suggested action plan was provided to the CEO and the Board. Participant feedback (predominantly positive) was constantly reviewed and the programme adapted accordingly.
Over the summer of 2006 I worked with Futures at Knightstone Housing Association to run a series of training events for the supported housing department, on service user involvement and empowerment. This programme aims to raise levels of awareness for practicioners, extend and improve upon exisiting initiatives that the organisation has undertaken, and to develop further actions that will progress the work of the Asssociation in this regard. I have a wealth of experience and knowledge in this area of work and am skilled at engaging with service user groups, as well as in developing empathy and understanding amongst staff teams (at all levels).During late 2005 and into 2006 I worked as a researcher for rethink, (working in collaboration with Vanilla ), the major mental health charity, interviewing commissioners, across the country about various aspects of rethink's work. This work has helped rethink to build a profile of what commissioners want and need now, and also what they will be looking for in the future - aiding rethink to plan and prepare for current and future activity.
ASSOCIATE CONSULTANCY AND TRUSTEE STATUS :
I was, for nearly 8 years, an Associate of TUKLO ORENDA, a London based consultancy group who specialise in consultancy and training services relating to working with diversity.
I have also been an approved consultant working with ROCC (see
www.rocc.org.uk)
I was a Trustee of Pembrokeshire Mind for 4 years, up until November 2009.
My extensive experience of being a Trustee as well as working to various Boards myself, means that I have an excellent grasp of the issues facing charitable Trustees/Directors and the ability to empathise with their needs and values, and to focus their thinking on the necessary targets and imperatives.
I am the Company Secretary for Astral Productions (an independent film company).

I spend my days focused on Internet safety and every day I see examples of the darkest aspects of the Internet, but also amazing stories of technology and social media being used for good. For all of the negative speech that takes place, there are many encouraging stories about teenagers building positive campaigns and creating amazing things. My advice for parents grappling with how to talk to their kids about hate speech online is to start with a conversation and use current events for a teachable moment.
Explain your family values, and the views that you as a family do not believe or do not tolerate.
Acknowledge that there are people who do not feel the same way as your family or even most people, and that those views are sometimes expressed online or at in-person gatherings and these hate-filled views may target people because of their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability. Let your child know that posts like this may seem more powerful than they actually are, and that most people do not feel this way. Reiterate that hate-filled posts go against your values.
Educate your child and help develop critical thinking skills, so they can distinguish between legitimate online sources and those that might be extremist views online. Share examples of sources you would find trustworthy and why. Remind them that to be a good digital citizen, they need to exercise their rights and responsibilities online just as they do offline, so critical thinking about content they come across is important.
Prepare your child so they know what to do if they come across upsetting material or speech. If your children are young, tell them if they see this type of content, to show it to you and talk about it. If they are older, ask them if they know how to use the tools available on social media. Inform them about options and steps to take if they see hate speech online.
Teach them how to mute or block those with extreme views, ignore the posts if they choose, or if they are bothered by things they are seeing targeting people or groups – make sure they know to come to you to talk about it and also take steps to report the abusive behavior to a social network. Make sure your child knows how to act responsibly online so that they do not share, like, or forward posts that target individuals or groups.
Focus on the positive aspects of what is online, including counter-speech. Show them how in difficult times, many people can also use the Internet as a platform for good, to join together to stop hate speech or unite around something positive. For example, a positive quote might go viral and could be inspiring for your teen. President Obama's tweet quoting Nelson Mandela and talking about hate is now the most liked tweet in Twitter history and messages like that might be uplifting for your child to see. Showing them that there are many voices online who unify to stand up to hateful content can be a powerful lesson.
The most important lesson is to start the dialogue early so that your child has the skills to think critically about what they see, knows how to react if they come across hate speech, and feels empowered to take steps to spread a positive message. Ensure that your child knows to talk to you about what they might see and how it makes them feel so that together you can respond or reflect together. These conversations will enable your children to be better digital citizens and help get them take positive and responsible steps when they do encounter hate speech online.

The United Nations joins many Papua New Guineans to condemn the brutal attack on a woman in Lae.
The UN also condemns such inhumane act on other women in Papua New Guinea and around the world.
Susan Ferguson, the Papua New Guinea UN women country representative, said this yesterday.
Ms Ferguson said acts of such violence around the world, including Papua New Guinea and even in her own country Australia, showed that the country still had a long way to go before women were recognised as equal to men.
"Such violence demonstrates that many men feel they have a right to own a woman, that she is an object to be used, and not a human being with the same thoughts and feelings as anyone else and with the same right to live a happy life.
"It is critical for right minded people in our communities to advocate for changes to these kinds of mind sets.
"This violence needs to stop and perpetrators to be brought to justice. Women and children need to be informed of their rights and feel able to live freely.
Ms Ferguson said the UN knows that violence against women and children is rampant in PNG, and in almost every other country of the world.
"This is why ending violence against women has been incorporated into the Sustainable Development Goals.
Violence against women and children is an abuse of human rights.
"It is an impediment to economic development. If women are not free to travel to schools, health services and markets, how can they earn a living and contribute to the country's economy?" Ms Ferguson said.
She said the main obstacle for victims coming forward to report abuse and seek help was fear.
Ms Ferguson said UN women and the United Nations system would continue to work with partners to strengthen the support available to survivors of such horrendous family violence.

Whence pseudoscience? An epidemiological approach
Stefaan Blancke, Maarten Boudry, Johan Braeckman
In this paper, we develop an epidemiological approach to account for the typical features and persistent popularity of pseudoscience. An epidemiology of pseudoscience aims at explaining why some beliefs become widely distributed whereas others do not and hence seeks to identify the factors that exert a causal effect on this distribution. We pinpoint and discuss several factors that promote the dissemination of pseudoscientific beliefs. In particular, we argue that such beliefs manage to spread widely because they are intuitively appealing, manage to hitchhike on the authority of science, and successfully immunize themselves from criticism.

I don't have much time to write today, as I've given myself some tight deadlines. I'd like to play and celebrate during Inauguration weekend, so it is grind time. Here's a little something that got me to thinking today. It's about how dreams mean little if they are not substantiated by action. This hit so close to home, especially with the way I've been handling this dissertation. Hope it does something for you, as it certainly helped me.
Enjoy! As for me, I have a hot date with a case studies methodology book!
Are you struggling with any dreams that you want to come to fruition? Are you doing your part? What are some of your strategies to get things done?

6.8% Spadra IPA is Hoppy, Tropical, and Dank. Expect big fruity tropical flavors, with hints of mango, papaya, and orange in the nose. Cleanly bitter with just enough malt sweetness to balance it all out.
In keeping with historic referencing, we named our India Pale Ale "Spadra" after the old stagecoach town, nestled in the current city of Pomona, CA. Spadra essentially began to function as an expanded rest stop to anyone who traveled the stagecoach between Los Angeles and Yuma, Arizona. It was a small but busy outpost of civilization in a large empty land. Stage horses were changed there, travelers spent the night and the tavern became the center of life.
The town of Spadra began to decline due to most of its population moving to Pomona. A new, more advanced city to the south, which boasted modern amenities and greater opportunity.
Today, the one thing still standing with the Spadra name is the original cemetery where original Spadra citizens were buried long ago. Long closed to the public, the cemetery remains a popular tourist attraction to those who believe it is haunted. Each Halloween, the Pomona historical society leads late night cemetery tours by flashlight.


This will increase your feelings of closeness, connection, and romance, which we all know is the whole point of date night!
Dating is definitely one of the most exciting part of our lives, when we get explore the wild dating scene, meet other people, get to know ourselves and get to know the potential partner.
Use only two to three questions per date night, and really talk about the answers in depth.
You need to know if you and your man are on the same page.
You can't have a relationship, after all, without sharing the same goals or dreams.
If you had to give me a nickname right now on the spot, what would it be? Do you think it's possible that we met in a previous life?
If you didn't have to worry about money or a job, where would you live in the world? What was the last book that you got so absorbed in that you couldn't put it down?

Q: PHP MySQL Transactions Is there anyway to carry out an SQL transaction in one command? eg
mysql_query("
START TRANSACTION;
INSERT INTO table1 ....etc;
INSERT INTO table 2.....;
COMMIT;");

Or do you always have to use separate commands? eg
mysql_query("START TRANSACTION;");
mysql_query("INSERT INTO etc etc

Thanks

A: You can, by using PDO instead of pure mysql statements,
$connection = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'user', 'password');
$connection->beginTransaction();
$connection->exec('insert into table1...');
$connection->exec('insert into table2...');
$connection->commit();

Of course, this is just a quick example, you should use prepared statements instead and use bind variables for the user input so you won't have to worry that much about sql injections.

A: With the PHP mysql_query function it has to be separate calls.

A: MySql supports transactions if you use InnoDb as storage engine. The mysql api doesn't allow multiple statements to be passed to mysql_query, but since a transaction is per connection, you can just split it up over multiple calls.

A: If you don't want to use PDO you can use mysqli's multi_query commnad

There was once a store in your neighborhood with the name Strictly Tennis. Everyone knew what Strictly Tennis did and what they sold. But then enough kids started playing soccer that the owners decided to also carry cleats and jerseys and changed their name to Strictly Tennis and Soccer, which worked just fine until jogging became all the rage. That's when the store changed its name again – this time to Strictly Tennis, Soccer, and Running.
So now that people are playing Ultimate Frisbee, or going to CrossFit or Zumba, what name are they going to use? Strictly Tennis and more? Or something altogether different?
In the late sixties, Al Kooper, Bobby Colomby and a bunch of jazz cats got together and created one of the era's five seminal rock and roll horn bands – Blood, Sweat & Tears. The band was so successful that its self-titled second album not only topped the Billboard charts and gave the world three major hits, including "You Made me so Very Happy," "Spinning Wheel," and "And When I Die", but also beat out the Beatles' Abbey Road for Grammy Album of the Year.
One has to wonder, though, if Colomby's virtuoso drumming and the late great Lew Soloff's soaring trumpet solos would have been enough if the band had used the name Assorted Bodily Fluids instead.
Marilyn Monroe was born with the name Norma Jeane Mortenson.
Tony Curtis was originally Bernard Schwartz.
Rock Hudson was Roy Harold Scherer, Jr.
Martin Sheen's name was Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez.
Natalie Portman birth name was Hershlag.
How about Ralph Lauren? Did you know that the scion of American fashion, the designer who combined American preppy with English aristocracy to create a seven billion dollar fortune was born Ralph Lifshitz? What's the chance that international heads of industry would attend Davos or the World Economic Forum dressed in a navy blue Lifshitz? What Oscar-winning actress would sashay across the red carpet in a haute couture Lifshitz?
His name reminds me of the old joke, "Hey Ralph, if your Lifshitz, does your ass speak?"
Clearly a name is of critical importance to business success. Unfortunately, there's no secret sauce for success. In a recent The New York Times Magazine article on corporate names, naming, and namers titled "Call It What It Is," author Neal Gabler points out that "there are no naming metrics, no real way to know if a new name helps or hinders."
Sometimes a successful name is instructive and tells the potential customer exactly what a product or company does – think Evernote, Discovery Channel, International Business Machines or the Museum of Modern Art. But other times, function can get in the way, with a name like Strictly Tennis, for example, or Burger King.
Sometimes a successful name honors its founders – Hewlett Packard or Porsche or Ferrari. But this only works if the founders' names stay free of scandal. Luckily Ebers, Madoff, and Lay didn't lend their names to the companies they drove into the ground. And of course the jury's still out on what Donald Trump's outbursts will do to his eponymous empire.
Sometimes a name can start off fine but then suffers when happenstance serves to change its meaning. Examples of this unfortunate occurrence include Ayds Diet Candies and the band Anthrax. And little girls named Isis might be feeling the same thing too.
Sometimes successful names are fanciful – Google, Starbucks, Twitter, Cisco, Citrix, and so on. The problem here, of course, is how long – and how much money – it takes for the consuming public to actually recognize, understand, and accept a name that they've never heard before.
But before you think a name makes all that much difference, look at the success of a company like Smucker's. The food giant earns hundreds of millions of dollars selling food with a name so distasteful their tagline is "With a name like Smucker's, it has to be good."
Still, it's a good thing their name isn't Assorted Bodily Fluids.
Or Isis.
Or Lifshitz.

Honey is well known as a healthier alternative to table sugar, but honey is much more than that. Thanks to its healing properties and a ton of nutrients and antioxidants, honey can help moisturize your skin, fight aging and bacteria, and heal scars.
For that reason adding it to face masks can be beneficial for your skin, and it will surely give you great results. For best results, you should use raw honey which hasn't been heated or pasteurized since raw honey contains more antioxidants and enzymes. We prepared several recipes that should make your skin soft and healthy.
The characteristics of sensitive skin are redness, irritation, sensitivity, and itchiness. If your skin type fits this description, try this mask to minimise the problems.
Aloe vera is perfect for sensitive skin as it calms the skin and soothes inflammation. All ingredients are calming and easy on your skin so you can use it every day if you like.
Mix the ingredients and then apply the mask all over your face. Leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes and then wash it off.
Dry skin is dull, dry, rough with visible lines. Ingredients in this mask will moisturize your skin and smoothe out visible lines.
The avocado and whole milk yogurt provide fats which will deeply moisturize the skin, while lactic acid in the yogurt smooth out your skin, stimulate collagen production, and refines pores.
Just mix the ingredients until the mixture is smooth. Spread the mixture over your face and leave it on for 20-30 minutes. When you are finished, you can easily wash it off with water. The mask can be used several times a week.

If your skin is oily, has red marks clogged pores and acne you have acne prone skin.
Honey will calm your skin, while antibacterial properties of both honey and cinnamon should prevent acne from forming. However, cinnamon is a strong spice so some people may be sensitive. Do a patch test on the back of your hand before putting it in your face.
Mix the ingredients and apply the mixture all over your face. Leave it on for 10-30 minutes and then wash it off. Because of the powerful effect of cinnamon, we recommend using this mask only once a week.
The benefits of honey have been recognized for thousands of years, and it never stops to amaze us how powerful it is. It is no wonder that honey is found as an ingredient in many skin care products. With the help of the recipe mentioned above, you can make your face mask very easy and cheaply, with ingredients that you probably already have. For the youthful look and healthy skin, the skin care routine is important, and with honey face masks you will see great results.


Place half a pound of maccaroons or Naples biscuits at the bottom of a large glass bowl. Pour on them as much white wine as will cover and dissolve them. Make a rich custard, flavoured with bitter almonds or peach leaves: and pour it when cold on the maccaroons; the custard may be either baked or boiled. Then add a layer of marmalade or jam. Take a quart of cream, mix with it a quarter of a pound of sugar, and half a pint of white wine, and whip it with rods to a stiff froth; laying the froth (as you proceed) on an inverted sieve, with a dish under it to catch the cream that drips through; which must be saved and whipped over again. Instead of rods you may use a little tin churn. Pile the frothed cream upon the marmalade in a high pyramid. To ornament it-take preserved water-melon rind that has been cut into leaves or flowers; split them nicely to make them thinner and lighter; place a circle or wreath of them round the heap of frothed cream, interspersing them with spots of stiff red currant jelly. Stick on the top of the pyramid a sprig of real flowers.

Q: Calculator logical errors I am working on a simple calculator with java and i have run into some errors.
In my code I wrote it so that when the multiplication button is clicked it multiplies the first two entered numbers, but when the button is clicked nothing happens.
Also for some reason when the subtract button is clicked, it adds the second number that has been inputted.
For some reason the debugger isn't much help too.
Is anyone seeing something that im not?
int num1;
int num2;
int ans;

boolean kms = false;
boolean multiplication = false;
boolean division = false;
boolean subtract = false;
boolean addition = false;

                    ans = 0;
                    num1 = 0;
                    num2 = 0;
                }
            }
        });

    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Calculator");
    frame.setBackground(Color.white);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    frame.setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setContentPane(new App().main);
    frame.pack();
}
}

A: According to what you have done in the above code if you enter integers with only one digit it would work perfectly.
Ex: add 5 then num1=5 and press + button then kms is true, then enter 6 and num2=6 now if you press the result the result will be 11.
But if you try to enter another digit before the result, This entered digit will be added to num2 like num2 = num2 + newAddedDigit instead of concatenating to num2
so in order to get the real functionality of a calculator try to concatenate on number buttons pressed for num1 and num2
the same issue have been addressed here also. Hope this helps somehow.
cheers happy coding

On approving the Fundamentals of State Policy to Preserve and Strengthen Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values
Russian MFA November 12, 2022
Russian MFA
Executive Order of the President of the Russian Federation
In accordance with Federal Law No. 172-FZ On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation of June 28, 2014, I hereby resolve:
1. To approve the Fundamentals of State Policy to Preserve and Strengthen Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values.
2. This Executive Order comes into force as of the day of signing.
President of the Russian Federation
The Kremlin, Moscow
APPROVED by Executive Order of the President of the Russian Federation of November 9, 2022, No. 809
Fundamentals of State Policy to Preserve and Strengthen Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values
I. General provisions
1. The Fundamentals constitute a strategic planning document related to ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation; it sets forth a system of goals, objectives and implementation mechanisms for delivering on the strategic national priority titled Defending Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values, Culture and Historical Memory as it pertains to defending traditional Russian spiritual and moral values (hereinafter also referred to as "traditional values").
2. The Constitution of the Russian Federation, universally recognised principles and norms of international law and the international treaties of the Russian Federation, as well as Federal Law No. 172-FZ On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation of June 28, 2014, and the Fundamentals of State Policy in Strategic Planning of the Russian Federation constitute the legal framework for the Fundamentals.
3. The Fundamentals specify certain provisions of the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation, the Information Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation, the Strategy for Countering Extremism in the Russian Federation until 2025, the Strategy for State Ethnic Policy of the Russian Federation until 2025, the Fundamentals of State Cultural Policy, the Strategy for Developing the Information Society in the Russian Federation in 2017-2030, Presidential Executive Order No. 204 dated May 7, 2018, On National Goals and Strategic Objectives of the Russian Federation through to 2024, and Presidential Executive Order No 474 dated July 21, 2020 On the National Development Goals of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030.
4. Traditional values are the moral precepts shaping Russian citizens' worldview, handed down from one generation to another and forming the foundation of Russia's national civic identity and the country's single cultural space, as well as reinforcing civic unity, and they are reflected in the unique and authentic spiritual, historical and cultural development path of Russia's multi-ethnic people.
5. Traditional values include life, dignity, human rights and freedoms, patriotism, civic consciousness, service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its destiny, high moral ideals, strong families, productive labour, the primacy of the spiritual over corporeal, humanism, charity, justice, collectivism, mutual assistance and mutual respect, historical memory and the continuity of generations, as well as the unity of Russia's peoples.
6. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, and other religions which are an integral part of Russia's historical and spiritual heritage have had a considerable influence on the emergence of the traditional values shared by believers and non-believers alike. The Orthodox faith has played a special role in the emergence and strengthening of traditional values.
7. The Russian Federation views traditional values as the foundation of Russian society, enabling it to defend and strengthen its sovereignty, ensure the unity of our country with its diverse ethnic and religious structure, preserve the people of Russia and enable them to develop their human potential.
8. By seeking guidance from traditional values and accumulated cultural and historical experiences when assimilating social, cultural, and technological processes and phenomena, the people of Russia are able to effectively respond to new challenges and threats in a timely manner while preserving Russia's national civic identity.
9. The state policy of the Russian Federation to preserve and strengthen Russia's traditional spiritual and moral values (hereinafter "state policy to preserve and strengthen traditional values") consists of a series of coordinated measures carried out by the President of the Russian Federation and other government agencies with input from civil society institutions for countering sociocultural threats to the national security of the Russian Federation pertaining to the defence of traditional values.
10. State policy to preserve and strengthen traditional values is implemented in the spheres of education, work with young people, culture, research, inter-ethnic and inter-faith relations, mass media and communications, and international cooperation. Federal executive agencies in charge of defence, national security, internal affairs, public order and other government agencies are responsible for carrying out this state policy within their respective areas of purview.
II. Assessing the situation, main threats and risks to traditional values, development scenarios
11. The efforts made in the Russian Federation to develop the spiritual potential of the people are increasing the cohesion of Russian society and public awareness of the importance of preserving and strengthening traditional values amid the global civilisational and values crisis, which is leading to the loss of traditional spiritual and moral bearings and moral principles.
12. The National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation assesses that the situation in Russia and the world requires emergency measures to defend traditional values.
13. Threats to traditional values come from extremist and terrorist organisations, some news media and communication platforms, the actions of the United States and other unfriendly foreign states, several transnational corporations and foreign NGOs, as well as the activities of some organisations and individuals in the territory of Russia.
14. Ideological and psychological influences on citizens are leading to the dissemination of a system of ideas and values that are alien to the Russian people and destructive for Russian society (hereinafter referred to as "destructive ideology"), such as the fostering of egoism, permissiveness and immorality, rejection of the ideals of patriotism, service to the Fatherland, the natural progression of life, the values of a strong family, marriage, raising multiple children, productive labour, and Russia's positive contribution to global history and culture, as well as the erosion of the traditional family through the promotion of non-traditional sexual identities.
15. Destructive ideological influences on Russian citizens are threatening the demographic health of the country.
16. The activities of public law entities, organisations and individuals helping to promote destructive ideology constitute an objective threat to the national interests of the Russian Federation.
17. The dissemination of destructive ideology entails the following risks:
a) emergence of conditions for the self-destruction of society and the erosion of family, friendship and other social ties;
b) accelerated socio-cultural stratification, decline of the role of social partnership, and devaluation of the ideas of productive labour and mutual assistance;
c) damage to the moral health of the people, imposition of concepts that disregard human dignity and the value of human life;
d) promotion of antisocial behaviour, dissolute lifestyles, permissiveness and violence, growing alcoholism and drug addiction;
e) emergence of a society that rejects spiritual and moral values;
f) distortion of historical truth and erosion of historical memory;
g) rejection of Russian authenticity, weakening of the national civic identity and cohesion of the multi-ethnic Russian people, development of conditions for interethnic and interfaith conflicts;
h) erosion of confidence in government institutions, discreditation of the idea of service to the Fatherland, and development of a negative attitude to military service and government service in general.
18. To preserve and strengthen traditional values and prevent the spread of destructive ideology, reforms in the spheres of education, culture, science, mass media and communications should be implemented with due regard for the historical traditions and experience accumulated in Russian society, with obligatory broad public discussions.
19. The task of preserving and strengthening traditional values should be undertaken in the following key areas:
a) adjustment of strategic planning documents to find more effective methods of preserving and strengthening traditional values and to determine guidelines for identifying goals and finding more effective mechanisms to uphold national interests in this sphere;
b) interagency coordination of efforts to uphold traditional values;
c) improvement of the system of state support for culture and education projects with due regard for the objectives of the state policy of preserving and strengthening traditional values;
d) development and improvement of the forms and methods of countering the risk of dissemination of destructive ideology in the information environment;
e) improvement of education and awareness-raising forms and methods for children and young people in accordance with the objectives of the state policy of preserving and strengthening traditional values;
f) enhancement of the efficiency of academic, educational, awareness-raising and culture organisations in protecting historical truth, preserving historical memory and preventing the distortion of history;
g) improvement of the work of law-enforcement agencies to prevent and disrupt criminal activity aimed at disseminating destructive ideology.
20. Conditions will subsequently follow a positive or negative scenario.
21. A positive scenario will result if the state policy to preserve and strengthen traditional values is implemented systemically and consistently. This scenario provides for strengthening Russian society's defences against threats and risks to traditional values. It is aimed at nurturing moral human beings who respect traditional values, have relevant knowledge and skills, are capable of realising their potential in modern society and are prepared to engage in peaceful productive labour and defence of the country. Under a positive scenario, existing problems will be gradually resolved and answers found to new challenges based on traditional values.
22. A negative scenario is possible if no efforts are made to combat the spread of destructive ideology.
III. Goals and objectives of state policy to preserve and strengthen traditional values
23. State policy to preserve and strengthen traditional values shall have the following goals:
a) to preserve and strengthen traditional values and ensure that they are passed on from generation to generation;
b) to counter the spread of destructive ideology;

24. Implementing the strategic national priority titled Defending Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values, Culture and Historical Memory entails delivering on the following objectives set forth in state policy to preserve and strengthen traditional values:
a) to strengthen civic unity, national civic identity and Russian singularity, inter-ethnic and inter-faith harmony based on the unifying role played by traditional values;
b) to preserve historical memory, counter attempts to falsify history, safeguard the historical experience that gave rise to traditional values and the way they impact the course of Russian history, including the lives and work of Russia's outstanding figures;
c) to preserve, reinforce and promote traditional family values, including marriage as a union between a man and a woman, to ensure generational continuity, care for the elderly so that they can live in dignity, and to promote the importance of perpetuating the people of Russia as a top national strategic priority;
d) to carry out state information policy reinforcing the role traditional values play in mass consciousness and to counter the spread of destructive ideology;
e) to promote education in the spirit of respect for traditional values as a key tool of state policy in education and culture so that individuals can develop in harmony;
f) to support public projects and civil society institutions in the sphere of patriotic education and preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the people of Russia;
g) to support organisations of traditional religions, and enable them to contribute to activities designed to preserve traditional values, and to counter destructive religious movements;
h) to award government contracts for carrying out research and creating informational and methodological materials, including film chronicles and other audio-visual materials, works of literature and art, to provide services aimed at preserving and promoting traditional values, as well as to monitor performance under these government contracts;
i) to provide for state protection of cultural heritage sites (historical and cultural landmarks) of the peoples of Russia, and to make them more accessible to raise awareness, as well as to offer a supportive environment for shaping historical self-awareness and teaching people to love and respect their Fatherland;
j) to support projects promoting traditional values in the media;
