Breaking: Round Rock STILL Stalls Parents' Complaint; AG Investigating PIA Overcharging
This week, Texas Values is urging the Round Rock ISD Board of Trustees to stop stalling on the process of hearing a parent's complaint about a male using the girl's locker room and grant the parents their Level 3 grievance hearing. The Texas Attorney General is investigating a cost estimate of $29,147.79 for the Public Information Act (PIA) request Texas Values sent to obtain information on any district policies regarding a male using the female locker-room.
A few weeks ago, Texas Values announced that it submitted a PIA request to find out more about policies of a male student using the female locker room in Round Rock ISD. The school district responded by requesting Texas Values pay $29,147.79 to fulfill the request. Texas Values appealed the excessive costs to the Texas Attorney General's Office.
The AG's Open Records Division is now investigating this complaint and the cost estimate procedures used by the school district. Round Rock ISD must explain why they are requesting an outrageous amount of money for the documents Texas Values requested.
In the meantime, Round Rock ISD has failed to grant the parents at the center of the complaint a hearing for their Level 3 grievance. Grievance rules allow for the parents to have a public or private meeting with the school board trustees to resolve complaints with the school. Round Rock ISD only has one more meeting before the end of the school year.
"Round Rock ISD has stalled long enough. No more delays. Girls remain in danger while the district continues to ignore parental concerns and put politics above privacy," said Jonathan Saenz, president of Texas Values.
Texas Values is considering assisting the parents in an appeal to the Texas Education Agency due to the school district's unresponsiveness.

"Oaxaca" comes from the nahuatl word Huaxyacac, which means "on the nose or on the tip of the gourds". In view of its size, Oaxaca is ranked fifth with 568 kilometers of coastline. The Free, Sovereign State of Oaxaca was created by decree of the Honorable Congress of the Union on 3 February 1824. According to its political, economic and social configuration, Oaxaca is divided into eight geo-economic regions: Cañada, Costa, Istmo, Mixteca, Papaloapan, Sierra Norte, Sierra Sur and Valles Centrales. Oaxaca is home to around 19 ethnic groups: Afro-Mexicans along the little-developed coast of Oaxaca, and Amuzgos, Chatinos, Chinantecos, Chocholtecos, Chontales de Oaxaca, Cuicatecos, Huaves, Ixcatecos, Mazatecos, Mestizo, Mixes, Mixtecos, Nahuas, Tacuates, Triquis, Tzotziles, Zapotecos and Zoques. Over 34% of the population speaks an indigenous language, being the most widespread Zapoteca, Mixteca, Mazateco and Mixe. Geologically speaking, Oaxaca is considered the most complex area in Mexico because of its highly seismic nature which gives rise to very diverse regions, with one of the richest flora and fauna in Mexico.

Q: Getting error Record updated successfully Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function fetch_assoc() on array <?php

                }

        } else {
            echo "Error updating record: " . $mysqli->error;
        }

        $mysqli->close();

    }
?>

A: This bit makes no sense to me:
 function getdata(){
    $server="";  //<---------- set here
    $dbHost = "localhost";
    $dbDatabase = "h_php";
    $dbPasswrod = "";
    $dbUser = "root";
    $mysqli = new mysqli($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPasswrod, $dbDatabase);
    // Check connection
    if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
        die("Connection failed: " . $mysqli->connect_error);
    }
    $sql = "SELECT * from items";
    $result = mysql_query($query);
    if(!$result) die("Oh crap...: " . mysql_error());
    $rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
    for ($j = 0 ; $j <= $rows; $j++)
    {
        $row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
        $row[1]= $server;  //<---- sure you want to do this
        //your basically setting $row[1] = '' on every iteration
        //so your command below is "nslookup " because $server = ''

        $command = "nslookup ".$server;
            exec($command, $result);
            $nslookup_result="";
            foreach($result as $line){
            $nslookup_result.= $line."
 ";
            }
        updatenslookup($server,$nslookup_result);
    }
    $mysqli->close();
}

It seems to me this bit $row[1]= $server; is backwards.
But lets not forget the SQLInjection issues here:
 function updatenslookup($url,$nsresult) {
    // Create connection
    $dbHost = "localhost";
    $dbDatabase = "h_php";
    $dbPasswrod = "";
    $dbUser = "root";
    $mysqli = new mysqli($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPasswrod, $dbDatabase);
    // Check connection
    if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
        die("Connection failed: " . $mysqli->connect_error);
    }
    $updatesql = "UPDATE `items` SET `description`='".$nsresult."' WHERE `title` ='".$url."'";

    if ($mysqli->query($updatesql) === TRUE) {
        echo "Record updated successfully";

    } else {
        echo "Error updating record: " . $mysqli->error;
    }

    $mysqli->close();

}

Specifically this stuff:
 function updatenslookup($url,$nsresult) {
    //  ....
    $updatesql = "UPDATE `items` SET `description`='".$nsresult."' WHERE `title` ='".$url."'";
   //  ....
 }

The big issue with it is I can inject whatever I want into this table, then you take that data and shoot it right into
  exec("nslookup ".$row[1], $result); //simplified  $server = $row[1] + exec("nslookup ".$server)

So in theory I can (or may be able to) inject my own command line calls into exec, at least to some extent.  I'm not sure all what someone could do with these issues, what the worst case would be, but I would avoid it in any case.
There is no way for me to know where the data for updatenslookup($url,$nsresult) comes from or if its clean, but it doesn't matter. One reason to prepare the sql is to have the security right where the issue is so you can clearly tell by looking at just the query if its safe or not.  And you don't have to worry about missing some piece of data that could sneak in there.
You should use escapeshellarg at the very least, and clean up the SQL vulnerabilities by preparing your queries.
As far as this Call to a member function fetch_assoc() on array, I don't even see a call to fetch_assoc() in your code.  Maybe I missed it but all I see is this $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); for reading data, which is procedural where you use the OOP in the other code .  which is irritating .. but I get it, which is why I only use PDO now...
Etc..
I always feel bad when I shred up someones hard work, but I would be remiss not to mention such a big security hole.
Cheers.

Most of these earthquakes , if you are not standing on the epicenter ,can be masked by a large truck passing with a load of gravel. We get a lot of gravel trucks in the north shore, especially in the Puerto Plata area.
I am just thankful they are not similar to Mexico.
In Nova Scotia Canada we get tremors which are from small earthquakes virtually everyday.
A couple of years ago there was an earthquake here in Luperon that virtually caused the house to vibrate... yup! Scared me for the moment. What was amazing was that the kids thought it an inconvenience to get out of the house. Go figure!
DRones are pretty good at saying, "hey did you feel that?" Granted most of these little shakes go unnoticed by all of except the most schizoid of dogs and elephants. I don't post anything less than a 3.0 for that very reason. I think it is important to be aware that our little island shakes with a frequency that is higher than most are probably aware of.

"Stirred not shaken please".
I agree, and since it is all history albeit an hour ago no one seems too interested. But they should be interested and have an escape plan from their residence in case a big one hits.
It is the concrete roofs and subsequent levels of floors in Condo and apartment units that cause the concerns. Concrete is a solid material with no real flexibility to back up ones mental conclusions about living in an earthquake zone .
Every big fire starts with a small incipient one. Not much difference with earthquakes.
Keep up the good work Cdn_Gringo. Appreciate the information.
The sky will fall some day...
There seems to have been an above average number of minor quakes north of Puerto Rico and around the Mona Passage in the past 6 - 8 weeks.
The two schools of thought are that minor slips relieve built up stresses and forestall a larger earthquake or numerous small shakers are a prelude or indicator of a much larger energy release that is primed to occur. None-the-less, it is clear that two major faults (and to a lesser extent several minor fault lines) in the DR pose a significant risk to the population here. These will slip someday. Each day that passes gets us one day closer to "someday" whenever that may be.
From today's DR1 News:
Alert to be prepared for an earthquake in the DR
The director of the Seismology Institute at the state university UASD, Eugenio Polanco Rivera, is alerting all in the Dominican Republic that on any day now a major earthquake could affect the country. He explains the tectonic faults have 71 years of storing energy that eventually will need to be released, likely causing a major earthquake. The most recent earthquake and the largest to affect the Caribbean was one of 8.6 Richter scale that occurred in 1946.
He said it is necessary for residents to be aware of the high seismic risk of the country that is susceptible to slippage of the Caribbean plate and the North American plate and all regions of the country should take preventive actions.
Polanco said the most serious risk for the country is in the areas along the Septentrional Fault. There, the ground in Santiago, Puerto Plata, La Vega and San Jose de Ocoa are most vulnerable to a major shake given that soft soils in these areas amplify ground shaking. He said with exceptions such as Los Prados, and others, the capital city of Santo Domingo is built on solid rock soil.

The Director of Seismology has allegedly said that the the larst major Caribbean earthquake was in 1946 .. he forgot the Port o prince earthquake of 2010 which devastated Haiti . he also predicted that an earthquake would hit the DR any day soon .he also gave some most simplistic explanations saying basically that most of the capital would be safe because it was built on rock but the areas on the fault line in the Santiago San Francisco are would be vulnerable .he seems to have not read anything about the Kobe earthquake in Japan nor the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand .
What worries me about this alleged statement , and I am rather inclined to think the summary of what he said may not be very accurate , is that it is very simplistic and does not address other factors .These factors relate to the actual structures themselves and whether they are sitting on a shallow slab or are sitting on very deep foundations or as is the case in Kobe whether the buildings are sitting on huge rubber anti shock supports .
The earthquake that flattened Central Christchurch was of the same magnitude as the Haiti earthquake and recently buildings mainly survived because they were built conforming with the NZ earthquake code but old buildings such as the Anglican cathedral fell ..all on the same rock foundations .
Of course the closer you are to the fault line ,the greater chance you have of disaster . Prior to the Haitian earthquake I had a hacienda outside la Romana and was staying there . I told everyone that the big one would hit us soon ...as it happened it hit Port o Prince and was not felt in la Romana ..no one has explained why ..we only know it burst out closer to the fault line than la Romana is .
I can tell you this as fact.......
My house is atop a rock cliff and I felt nothing in 2010.
My friends were on the water's edge, below me - in Cabrera.
The water in their pool sloshed over the edges, they ran from the house fearfully.
They called me asking if we were alright ( we were having a dinner party)........
Alright ?- I questioned..
Like what - out of wine ?
Then they told their story - the rest is history.
They were right - major quake shake
Since we're talking about 2010 quake, our whole property undulated. Was like a big water bed. Rocking chairs swayed and we all got dizzy. South coast between San Cristobal and Bani.
Long way from the catastrophe in Haiti - your place
at least we are along the same coastline and the fault lies off the north coast as I understand it
Big deal - how the Dominican report could read as it does above is confusing
Cdn Gringo ..my earlier post was deleted so I will have another shot at this. The Director said that the most recent earthquake to affect the Caribbean was in 1946 ..Surely the earthquake in 2010 that devastated Haiti was the most recent and as such the directors theory of the need to have release every 71 years falls down ..we have had the next one after 1946 already. There is a need for all of us to understand that we live in a country with seismic risk I agree with but to go on and not mention other factors that can cause damage apart from the geological differences is to ignore the lessons learned in Kobo, Japan and in Christchurch ,New Zealand in recent years .In both those places .some buildings fell and other buildings remained in tact for reasons that the construction of the buildings differed building to building . New Zealand, often called the shaky isles, has a very strong code and in Christchurch the new buildings that were built to the code remained in tact but older buildings such as the cathedral fell . In Kobe , those with very deep foundations and/or enormous rubber additions to the foundations remained in tact . I am surprised my home in Zona Colonial has stayed upright for more than 300 years as even in the basement I can see no rock outside ,just clay . I hope this posting survives as my home has .
Get the comments from the 2010 earthquake made in the Daily News Thread moved over here
Some reports - mine included - are there
That shudder shook both north & south coasts..... big, to say the laest
I am not sure if I am Buster but assuming I am ...in my original deleted message here I did mention that for two weeks prior to the Haiti earthquake , I was staying in a farm I had east of La Romana and every second night or so there were tremours and I was predicting, to anyone who wished to listen, a very big quake in the Boca de Yuma area where the epicentre of these things seem to be located . on the day of the quake I was playing golf and felt absolutely nothing as it had hit Port o Prince and the line was through the north of Haiti and then Santiago ...Port o Prince did not have the small tremours that the East had earlier had. On returning to my old home in Zona Colonial there was not even a small crack ..the walls are made of rubble mainly .

The History of the Trojan War
Thesis The Trojan War started in c.1200 BC when Aphrodite offered Paris of Troy Helen of Sparta for the apple of discord, He accepted her offer. Aphrodite made a plan to make Helen of Sparta fall in love with Paris; She disguised Paris as a diplomatic emissary. Then he went to Sparta, Helen welcomed him with open arms, while Menelaus was away in Crete, The god of love Eros, shot an arrow at her making her fall in love with Paris. They married and left for Troy. When Menelaus returned home from Crete, he realized that Helen had run off with Paris. He and Odysseus went to Troy to retrieve Helen, But all diplomatic attempts failed So Menelaus invoked the oath of Tyndareus and with help from his brother Agamemnon, Called all Greek leaders who had previously been in line to marry Helen to fulfill their pledge. They also needed the help of Achilles, because of the prophecy that Troy would only fall with his help. Odysseus, Telamonian Ajax, and Phoenix went to Skyros where they knew Achilles was hidden. Achilles was disguising himself as a woman, Then there, they either blew a warhorn, on the sound of which Achilles was the only woman that took a spear in hand; or they appeared as merchants selling jewels and weapons. Achilles was the single woman interested in the weapons
The reason the war started is technically that of Menelaus; he failed to sacrifice one hundred oxen to Aphrodite which began her wrath. The story of Trojan War highlights how deeply the Greeks and Trojans believed that the Gods and the rituals used to appease them affected everything they did in their daily lives.The Cause Of the Trojan WarIt started at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis where Eris, The goddess of discord, threw a golden apple to Aphrodite, Hera and Athena addressed "To the Fairest." The reason Eris had thrown the apple was that all the Gods and Goddesses were invited attend except Eris. Zeus refused to judge the goddesses and gave the task to Paris, A mortal prince, to choose who was the fairest; He couldn't decide between the three, so The Goddesses bribed him with gifts. Hera offered to make him king of all men if she had been chosen as the fairest, Athena promised him victory in war, and Aphrodite offered him the most beautiful woman in the world. Because of her offer he selected Aphrodite, she told him that she would get him, Helen of Sparta, the only catch was that she was married to Menelaus, King of Sparta. Paris went to Sparta while Menelaus was in Crete, Helen welcomed him with open arms. Eros, God of love, shot an arrow at Helen and made her fall in love with Paris, They eloped immediately and went back to Troy.
When Menelaus came back from Crete and found out what happened, He had Odysseus go to Troy with him to retrieve Helen, When all diplomatic attempts had failed he invoked the oath of Tyndareus and with the help of his brother Agamemnon. He called all the Greek leaders who had been in line to marry Helen to fulfill their pledge. They had also needed the help of Achilles because of a prophecy that Troy would only fall with his support. Phoenix, Telamonian, Ajax, and Odysseus went to Skyros where they knew Achilles was hidden. Achilles was disguising himself as a female, Then there, they either blew a warhorn, on the sound of which Achilles was the only woman that took a spear in hand; or they appeared as merchants selling jewels and weapons. Achilles was the only female intrigued by the weaponry. The Siege Of TroyMenelaus's brother happened to be Agamemnon, who was the most powerful king amongst the Greeks. Menelaus and Agamemnon visited all of the Greek Chieftains and persuaded them to take part in a colossal expedition which they were preparing to take down Troy, Agamemnon had been chosen as commander-in-chief; next to him were the most important Greek heroes, his brother Menelaus, Patroclus, and Achilles. Two unrelated men named Ajax, Nestor and his son Antilochus, Teucer, Idomeneus, Diomedes, Odysseus, and Philoctetes, who, however, at the very start of the expedition had to be left behind. They didn't appear on the scene of action right until the fall of Troy.
The entire army consisted of 100,000 Greek warriors and 1,186 ships assembled in the harbor of Aulis. Before they left for the expedition, they made sacrifices to secure the favor of the gods for the voyage to Troy. While making the sacrifice, a snake darted out from under the altar, went up a tree, devoured eight young sparrows, and the mother had finally turned into stone. This omen Calchas, the seer of the host, interpreted that it meant the war would last nine years and end in the tenth year with the fall of Troy. Agamemnon had previously met an oracle from Delphi that Troy would fall when the heroes of Greece fought amongst each other. In Homer, the crossing to Troy starts immediately, but in the following story, the Greeks accidentally land in Mysia, in the country of Telephus, They're scattered by a storm and driven back to Greece, and then assemble anew at Aulis. Once they had arrived, they learn divine disfavor is preventing them from crossing into Troy until Agamemnon agrees to sacrifices his daughter, Iphigenia, to appease the enraged gods, this was an incident that was entirely unknown to Homer. After landing, skirmishing, and setting up their camp. Odysseus and Menelaus proceed as ambassadors to Troy, to demand the surrender of Helen, in spite of the inclination of Helen herself and the warning of the Trojan Antenor, never takes hold, owing to the opposition of Paris.
War was declared, the amount of the Trojans numbered less than one-tenth of the Greeks. Even though they had many brave heroes such as Glaucus, Aeneas, Sarpedon, and especially Hector, in fear of Achilles, they didn't dare to engage a general attack and remained holed up behind massive walls protecting the city. The Greeks couldn't do anything against the well-fortified and defended town, and see themselves confined to laying ambushes and devastating the surrounding area, and compelled by the lack of provisions, had to resort to foraging expeditions in the surrounding by sea and land by general Achilles. As the last decisive tenth year reaches, The Iliad narrates the events of this year, restricting itself to the space of fifty-one days. During the war, the Greeks have taken multiple war prizes from the encompassing countryside. One of these prizes is Chryseis, the daughter of Chryses, a priest of Apollo. He came in priestly garb into the camp of the Greeks to redeem his daughter from Agamemnon. He is rudely put down, and Apollo consequently visits the Greeks with a plague. In an assembly of the Greeks requested by Achilles, the seer Calchas declares the only means of the appeasing the god to be the surrender of the girl without ransom.
Agamemnon consents to the general wish. But, in the way of compensation, takes from Achilles, who he considers to be the instigator of the whole lot, his favorite slave Briseis. Achilles withdraws, furious, to his tent and implores his mother, Thetis to attain a promise from Zeus that the Greeks should meet with disaster in fighting the Trojans until Agamemnon returns the girl and restores Achilles" honor. The Trojans immediately take the open ground, and Agamemnon is induced by a promise of victory, conveyed in a lying dream from Zeus, to start the fight. The armies are standing opposing to one another, prepared to fight when they agree to a treaty that the entire conflict will be decided by a battle fought between Paris and Menelaus. Paris is defeated in the battle and is only saved from death by the interference of Aphrodite. When Agamemnon presses for the attainment of the treaty, the Trojan Pandarus breaks the truce by shooting an arrow at Menelaus, and the treaty breaks apart. The first open pact in the war begins, in which, under the safeguard of Athena, Diomedes performs marvels of courage and damage even Ares and Aphrodite. Diomedes and the Lycian Glaucus are on the verge of fighting when they recognize one another as genealogical guest-friends and stop their fight, an indicator of how important the concept of hospitality, XENIA, in Greek. The day ends with a tentative duel between Hector and Ajax son of Telamon. They make a truce to bury their deceased, and the Greeks, acting on the input of Nestor, surrounding their camp with a wall and trench.
Once the battle begins again, Zeus forbids the gods to take part in it and imposes that the fight shall end with the defeat of the Greeks. On the following night, Agamemnon already begins to think about fleeing, but Nestor advises reconciliation with Achilles. Agamemnon sends an embassy, including Odysseus, to make amends with Achilles. The efforts of ambassadors are, however, fruitless. Then Odysseus and Diomedes go out on a night-time reconnaissance mission, kill many Trojans, and capture a Trojan spy. On a succeeding day, Agamemnon's bravery drives the Trojans back to the walls of the town; but he, Odysseus, Diomedes, and other heroes leave the battle wounded, and the Greeks retreat behind the camp's walls. The Trojans advance and attack the Greek walls. The resistance of the Greeks is daring, but Hector breaks the rough gate with a rock, and the stream of enemies pours itself free into the camp. Once again the Greek heroes who are still adequate and can take part in the battle, especially the two Ajaxes and Idomeneus. They become victorious with the help of Poseidon in repelling the Trojans, while Telamonian Ajax makes Hector dash to the ground with a stone; but the latter soon reappears on the battlefield with the new strength given to him by Apollo at the order of Zeus. Poseidon is obliged to leave the Greeks to their fate; they retire again to the ships, which Ajax in vain defends. The Trojans advance still further to where they can begin torching the Greek ships. Hector and Achilles this point, Achilles allows his friend Patroclus to borrow his armor and enter the battle with their set of soldiers to help the distressed Greeks. Supposing it to be Achilles himself, the Trojans in fear flee from the camp before Patroclus, who chases them to the town and lays low vast numbers of the enemy, including the brave Sarpedon, whose corpse is only rescued from the Greeks after a relentless fight.
At last Patroclus himself is killed by Hector with the help of Apollo; Achilles" arms are lost, and even the corpse is with difficulty saved. And now Achilles repents of his anger, reconciles himself to Agamemnon, and on the following day, furnished with new and splendid armor by Hephaestus at the request of Thetis, avenges the death of his friend on countless Trojans and finally on Hector himself. The Iliad closes with the burial of Patroclus and the funeral games initiated in his honor, the restoration of Hector's corpse to Priam, and the burying of Hector, for which Achilles allows an armistice of eleven days. Immediately after the death of Hector, the following legends bring the Amazons to the help of the Trojans, and their queen Penthesilea is killed by Achilles. Then arrives Memnon at the head of an Ethiopian contingent. He slays Antilochus son of Nestor but is also killed by Achilles. Death of Achilles now comes to the fulfillment of the oracle given to Agamemnon at Delphi; for at a sacrificial banquet a violent quarrel arises between Achilles and Odysseus, the latter declaring craft and not valor to be the only means of destroying Troy. Soon after, in an attempt to force a way into the hostile town through the Scaean gate, Achilles falls, killed by the arrow of Paris, directed by the god. After his burial, Thetis offers the arms of her son as a prize for the bravest of the Greek heroes, which provokes a fight among the Greeks for the title and the arms. Odysseus wins, and his main competition, the Telamonian Ajax, kills himself.

– June 7, 2011Find Others: Blu-ray, DVD, Movie, New Release, NewsGet More: Bill Hader, Blythe Danner, Comedy, Jane Lynch, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Sigourney Weaver, Universal
Seth Rogen (The Green Hornet) voicing an alien who's picked up on a road trip by UFO geeks Simon Pegg (Star Trek) and Nick Frost (Pirate Radio)? We're there! The comedy Paul arrived on DVD , Blu-ray and digital download on Aug. 9, 2011, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
Written by Pegg and Frost, the creators of the hilarious Shaun of the Dead, Paul grossed $37.4 million in theaters, less than similar science-fiction laughers (1999's Galaxy Quest grossed $71.4 million), but we're guessing the movie will get a bigger audience on disc. R-rated Paul did score nicely with critics and those who did see it in theaters. According to Rotten Tomatoes, Paul got a 72% approval rating from critics and 75% from audiences.
As well as Pegg, Frost and Rogen's voice, Paul features a host of other comic actors, including Jason Bateman (The Switch), Kristen Wiig (Date Night), Jane Lynch (TV's Glee), Bill Hader (Pineapple Express), Blythe Danner (Little Fockers) and Galaxy Quest's own Sigourney Weaver. And the movie is directed by Superbad helmer Greg Mottola.
Both the DVD and Blu-ray (a Blu-ray/DVD combo) include the theatrical version of the movie as well as a new unrated version. For a limited time, the Blu-ray also has a downloadable digital copy of the unrated version.
Special features are plentiful on both disc versions. The Blu-ray and DVD offers:

"Simon's Silly Faces"
"Who the Hell is Adam Shadowchild?" about the legendary sci-fi writers told by the characters in Paul
commentary with director Greg Mottola, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Bill Hader and producer Nira Park
photo galleries, storyboards and posters.
The Blu-ray adds these exclusive extras:
"Between the Lightning Strikes: The Making of Paul"
behind-the-scenes featurettes:
"RV Doorway: The Cast of Paul On Location"
"Runway Sante Fe: An Interview With Nency Steiner," as the costume designer chooses T-shirts for the cast
"Smithereens" about the blowing up of a house on location
"5th Date Level Direction: The Cast on Greg Mottola"
"Mexico Zero: The Locations of Paul," about how New Mexico, where the majority of the film was shot, was given the nickname Mexico Zero
"The Many Pauls," about how the alien was created

"The Traveler Beagle," about the RVs used on the set

KLM will fly direct to 167 destinations this summer; capacity almost back to old level
This summer, the capacity in Europe has been expanded by 10 percent compared to last year. This means that KLM is almost back to the level of 2019. In total, this concerns approximately 16 million seats. KLM, for example, flies more frequently to Portuguese cities such as Porto and Lisbon, three and four times a day respectively.
Thanks to the success of the destinations newly launched last year, such as Belgrade, Dubrovnik and Palma de Mallorca, they have also been included in the route network for the summer this year. In addition, KLM is anticipating the further return of the business traveler by expanding on various British, German and Polish routes.
Flights to Kiev, Saint Petersburg and Moscow have been suspended for the time being. KLM says it is following developments closely.
KLM has expanded capacity in the intercontinental network by 17 percent compared to last year. The airline will fly daily to Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao this summer. During the holiday period, the frequency to Curaçao goes to two flights a day. Port of Spain, the new tropical destination from the winter network, will also be offered this summer. With KLM, travelers can fly from Amsterdam to the capital of Trinidad & Tobago three times a week.
Since the US reopening in November 2021, flight demand has continued to grow. The capacity in the United States this summer will be at the level of 2019. With the restart of flights to Salt Lake City and the new destination Austin, KLM will fly direct to more destinations in the US this summer than oofit: twelve
KLM also sees more countries welcoming travelers again in Asia. Although entry restrictions for many countries still differ, the company sees demand for destinations such as the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Bali picking up again for next summer. India has also announced that it will relax the entry rules, which KLM will respond to by increasing the frequencies to Delhi and Mumbai. In addition, Asia remains a strong and important market for cargo.
The entry restrictions will continue to apply to China for the time being, which means that KLM cannot yet build the network there. Due to the EU sanctions imposed on Russia, KLM is currently using Russian airspace. The flight time of flights to and from South Korea, Japan in China is therefore one and a half to two and a half hours longer. The flights to Japan and China make a stopover in Seoul.
Capacity on the majority of routes to South America has virtually recovered to pre-coronavirus levels. KLM flies daily to Sao Paulo, Panama and Lima and at least six times a week to Quito/Guayaquil, Bogota/Cartagena, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires/Santiago de Chile.
Passengers who want to fly to Africa can choose from 10 destinations with KLM this summer. Compared to last summer, capacity on many routes has been expanded to meet the increased demand. Zanzibar, a new destination last year, has also been included in the schedule this summer due to increased demand. KLM also flies to destinations such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, Accra, Lagos, Kigali, Entebbe, Nairobi, Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam.


Callum McManaman struck 10 minutes from time to give Wigan a 3-2 victory over West Brom and keep the Latics' hopes of another great escape alive.
The Latics twice came from behind before McManaman, who scored his first Barclays Premier League goal against Tottenham last weekend, swept home from close range following Shaun Maloney's superb run.
Shane Long and Gareth McAuley put West Brom ahead in the 29th and 50th minutes, only for Arouna Kone and James McArthur - with his first touch - the drag the visitors back into it.
The hosts were gifted a chance from nothing in the 10th minute when Ben Watson's handball handed them a promising free-kick, but Dorrans shot straight at Joel Robles. Kone was seeing less of the ball up front for the Latics but almost caught Ben Foster off guard with a skiddy long-range effort in the 19th minute.
West Brom took a deserved lead when Claudio Yacob kicked things off with a tackle deep in his own half and Romelu Lukaku picked out Markus Rosenberg's run with a wonderfully measured pass into the right channel. The Swede easily outstripped Watson and his low ball across goal left Long with a simple close-range finish.
Maloney went close with a free-kick in the 37th minute and the equaliser arrived two minutes later as Maloney found Jean Beausejour on the left flank and Kone beat Jonas Olsson to nod home the Chilean's cross at the far post.
Steve Clarke's side had more energy after the break and restored their lead five minutes into the second half. McAuley was the scorer, rising to head Dorrans' free-kick home after Kone made only a half-hearted attempt to track his run.
McArthur immediately found the net after coming off the bench, diving to head home Maloney's cross at full stretch for a dramatic first touch.
Wigan lost Beausejour to injury in the 74th minute but they were soon celebrating when McManaman and Maloney combined to put the visitors ahead for the first time. Maloney, somewhat inevitably, was the instigator, charging down the left wing and beating two men before pulling the ball back from the byline.
The finish was a simple one for McManaman but the effect could yet be huge on their season.

Corona beer parent's move into the marijuana business is a smart one
Published: Oct. 31, 2017 at 1:30 p.m. ET
Ciara Linnane
U.S. cannabis market is still stymied by federal law that blocks access to banking and insurance, while Canada plows ahead
Constellation Brands Inc.'s move into the marijuana business makes strategic sense and will give the company a first-mover advantage in the weed market that will complement its leading role in the booze market.
That's the view of Wells Fargo analyst Bonnie Herzog, who reiterated her outperform rating on Constellation Brands' stock on Monday and said it remains her favorite beverage stock pick.
The distributor of Corona beer STZ, -2.09% is acquiring a 9.9% stake in Canada's Canopy Growth Corp. WEED, -7.61% with the aim of developing drinkable marijuana products to be sold in Canada as soon as it legalizes marijuana for recreational use, a move expected in 2018, and other countries where it is legal.
Drinkable marijuana is a small but growing part of the North American legal market, which is worth about $8 billion today, according to cannabis research company ArcView Group, and expected to grow to about 23 billion by 2021.
"Overall, we think this deal makes a lot of sense—there has been an ongoing concern about the potential negative impact on beer/wine/spirit sales from the state-level legalization of marijuana that has already occurred in the U.S., and this gives STZ a clear first mover advantage in insuring that it remains not just the leading Total Alcohol Beverage Company, but indeed, the Total Alcohol-Marijuana Beverage Company," Herzog wrote in a note.
Read:Marijuana sales rose 30% in 2016 and are expected to triple in four years
Constellation Brands is paying $190 million for the stake with options to acquire an additional 9.9% in equity in the future via warrants at the same price. The deal is expected to close in early November.
GMP analysts led by Martin Landry said the move is the first big investment by a public multinational in the cannabis industry and confirms the substance is viewed as a threat by alcohol companies. GMP is expecting other companies to follow suit.
For Canopy, the move removes a financing overhang, and gives the company access to significant resources in marketing and brand building.
"Today's announcement catapults WEED in a league of its own," the analysts wrote in a note. "The company now has significant financing to accomplish its aggressive expansion plans."

What every cannabis investor should be paranoid about
The company is not planning to market the products in the U.S. market for now, but if recreational marijuana were to be legalized as advocates are hoping, it would expand sales to the U.S.
Marijuana is legal for medical use in 29 U.S. states and legal for recreational use in 8 states plus Washington, D.C. It remains illegal at the federal level, however, where it continues to be classified as a Schedule I drug, which puts it in the same category as heroin, LSD and ecstasy.
The federal ban has complicated efforts to grow the market, as those who are active in the business are unable to have bank accounts, which would be subject to federal supervision and insurance.
"The U.S. cannabis market is probably the largest in the world and it is frustrating for the CEOs who operate in the space that we are losing that opportunity for global first-mover advantage," said Derek Peterson, chief executive of Terra Tech, a cannabis-focused agriculture company.
President Donald Trump's Attorney General Jeff Sessions is a known opponent of relaxing the law. "Good people don't smoke marijuana," he is on record as saying. Sessions has urged U.S. attorneys to seek the highest possible penalties in drug cases, raising fears he is attempting to reignite the "war on drugs" policy that is widely viewed as an abject failure.

Meanwhile, Canada's more relaxed approach has allowed Canopy Growth to become one of the world's biggest publicly traded cannabis companies. The company had revenue of C$39.9 million ($31.1 million) in the year through March 31, up from C$12.7 million in the year-earlier period.
Canadian companies have access not just to bank accounts, but to investment banks, giving them the means to tap capital markets.
Terra Tech has raised $66 million in capital to fund its business, "but if we had Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs capital raising for us, we could scale up a lot quicker and more efficiently," said Peterson. "If the U.S. market had federal support, we would have companies with $100 million market caps, we'd have M&A and IPO activity."
Peterson is confident legalization will happen some time, even if it takes another change of administration. The U.S. public is increasingly supportive of the industry with 64% of those surveyed in a recent Gallup poll saying its use should be made legal, the highest level of support that Gallup has recorded in nearly 50 years of measurement.
"This industry is growing and outpacing smartphones -- and it is completely U. S.centric: The entire supply chain is here so the economic effects are immediate," said Peterson.
In the U.S. states where weed is legal, state legislatures have welcomed the tax revenue it generates. Colorado, for example, said in July it has earned $500 million in taxes and fees from legalization, money it has used to fund education, as well as substance abuse and prevention programs.
Canopy Growth shares have gained 59% in 2017. Constellation Brands has gained 39%. The S&P 500 SPX, -1.84% has gained 15% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.51% is up 18%.

Steve submitted these two poems, the first written in 1928 by his grandfather, Francis J. Fuller, and the second in 1988 by his uncle, Barry F. Fuller.
The poems relate the story of his grandfather's achievement in being part of the team that participated in the first motorised vehicle, a Chevrolet (4 Cylinder), to cross from Taylor's Arm To Hickey's Creek in New South Wales, and Francis's son's (Steve's uncle) adventure in re-tracing the trip sixty years later.
On 26 June 1940, soon after the start of World War 2, Francis enlisted in the 2nd Australian Imperial Force at Newcastle, New South Wales and was allotted Army number NX45613.
Francis passed away on 30 March 1972.
Born on 25 July 1935, Barry enlisted in the Australian Regular Army at Marrickville, New South Wales on 31 March 1953 and was allotted Army number 2/7611.
Embarking at Brisbane, Queensland for service overseas with the 2nd Royal Australian Regiment per 'GEORGIC' on 8 October 1955, Barry served in Malaya from 8 October 1955 to 31 October 1957 with the 2nd Royal Australian Regiment.
After disembarking the ship, "New Australia", in Sydney, New South Wales, from Malaya on 31 October 1957, Barry elected discharge from the Australian Regular Army in Sydney on 30 March 1959.


Smalltalk systems have traditionally provided class categories to help organize classes into related clusters. They had no semantic value, and were not represented by objects. In VisualWorks, categories have been supplanted by packages.
Unlike traditional categories, VisualWorks packages are real objects (instances, surprisingly enough, of the class PackageModel). They provide the organization feature of categories, but they are also the basic archival unit for the Store repository.
When developing application code, you should create your own new package to contain this work, rather than use an existing package. To create a new package, make sure no package is selected (Ctrl-click to deselect, or just select Local Image) in the System Browser, then pick Package | New... and enter a name in the dialog.


Historical and artistic handwritten books are valuable cultural heritage (CH) items, as they provide information about tangible and intangible cultural aspects from the past. Massive digitization projects have made these kind of data available to a world-wide population, and pose real challenges for automatic processing. In this scenario, document layout analysis plays a significant role, being a fundamental step of any document image understanding system. In this paper, we present a completely automatic algorithm to perform a robust text segmentation of old handwritten manuscripts on a per-book basis, and we show how to exploit this outcome to find two layout elements, i.e., text blocks and text lines. Our proposed technique have been evaluated on a large and heterogeneous corpus content, and our experimental results demonstrate that this approach is efficient and reliable, even when applied to very noisy and damaged books.


On considered cars the generator of an alternating current is used. At installation of additional electric equipment check, that capacities of the generator was enough for providing new consumers with the electric power.
The drive of the generator is carried out by a wedge-shaped belt from a cranked shaft of the engine.
The generator represents the three-phase synchronous electric car with electromagnetic excitement. For transformation of an alternating current in constant the diode rectifier is built in the generator. Adjustment of target tension is carried out by the built-in regulator.
At operation of the generator the electric current proceeding on a winding of excitement, creates a magnetic stream round rotor poles. At rotation of a rotor there is a periodic change of its magnetic poles under each tooth of a stator, as a result, the magnetic stream passing through teeth, continuously changes on size and tension. This variable magnetic stream creates an electromotive power (EDS) in a stator winding. The wedge-shaped form of polar tips of a rotor is picked up in such a manner that allows to receive close to sinusoidal a form of curve EDS.
At high frequency of rotation of a rotor when target tension of the generator starts to exceed 13.6 - 14.6 In, the regulator of tension is locked, and the current does not pass through a winding of excitement. When tension decreases, the regulator opens again, providing freedom of a transmission of a current through an excitement winding. The frequency of rotation of a rotor, the more long a regulator is higher remains locked and, that respectively tension on a generator exit more strongly decreases. Process of locking and unlocking of a regulator occurs to high frequency therefore target fluctuations remain almost imperceptible and it is possible to consider tension of the generator to the constants supported at level 13.6 - 14.6 Century.
The system of a charging does not demand periodic service, however check of a condition and replacement of a driving belt of the generator, the storage battery and its electroconducting it is necessary to make on a regular basis according to the schedule THAT (see. Head of Control and routine maintenance of the car).
At ignition inclusion on a combination of devices should light up quickly To/l a charge (see. Head Governing bodies and operation receptions). If the lamp is not disconnected after start of the engine or lights up in the course of functioning of the last, check a condition of components of system of a charge. Refusal of activation of a lamp at inclusion of ignition testifies to its exit out of operation, damage of the corresponding electroconducting, or violation of serviceability of functioning of the generator (including break of a driving belt).
Remember that violation of polarity of any connections is interfaced to risk of irreversible failure of the rectifier and a regulator of tension of the generator.

David Kemp, Ayres Associates' project development director and senior project manager for Southeast Operations, said continual communication is important because it builds confidence. "The County doesn't have to worry about our projects because we call them and check in with them regularly. We keep them informed during all stages of the project," Kemp said. "Over the years, Ayres has maintained a focus on public work," Perpich said. During the CR 5A (Old Moultrie Road) Safety Improvements Study, Ayres Associates' engineers created a report to not only help planning decisions, but also help secure funding. "By breaking the project into segments, we could secure the funding as it became available," Perpich said. This expertise paid off again when the Del Monte Drive/Varella Sidewalk Post Design project got a shot in the arm during the 2008 recession. As the design was wrapping up, funding suddenly became available as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act through a Local Agency Program (LAP) agreement. However, the new funding required more Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) involvement and a modified set of specifications. Ayres Associates was able to quickly rework a full set of bid documents and meet the deadline to get the project constructed. Second, let's chat: Communication A successful project requires more 14│TRENDS than good engineering. According to Caldwell, "There's a lot of smart people out there, and a lot of people who know how to do the work, but it's the responsiveness from Ayres Associates that makes a difference. They take the time to really understand what the County needs." During the Palm Valley Sidewalk Feasibility Study, Ayres Associates was involved especially early in the process to help understand project challenges and create a more accurate schedule and budget. "We're able to bring Ayres Associates in on the front-end of some projects because of our long history and relationship," Caldwell said. During the Armstrong Trailhead Improvements project, communication was critical because there were so many departments and additional agencies involved. "David did a great job of being the communication point. He checks in with all divisions to make sure everyone is on the same page," Perpich said. "The biggest thing about Ayres Associates is that they are responsive. If I send an email, I get a prompt response. Th

Q: Overloading compound-assignment-operator in C++ does not change variable In order to become more familiar with C++, I'm implementing a class to manipulate complex numbers.
class Complex {
    private:
        double _real;
        double _imag;

    public:
        Complex();
        Complex(double real, double imag);
        Complex(const Complex& z);

        Complex operator+(const Complex& u) const;
        Complex operator+=(const Complex& u);
};

I already overloaded the + operator which works as expected:
Complex Complex::operator+(const Complex& u) const {
    Complex z(_real + u._real, _imag + u._imag);
    return z;
}

u=1-2i
v=2-1i
u+v=3-3i

In addition, I wanted to overload += as well:
Complex Complex::operator+=(const Complex& u) {
    Complex z(_real + u._real, _imag + u._imag);
    return z;
}

This however, does not work as expected and the result of u+=v is u=1-2i. Why is that the case?

A: Your compound assignment operator creates a new object z instead of changing the original object.
Declare the operator within the class definition like
Complex & operator+=(const Complex& u);

and define it the following way
Complex & Complex::operator+=(const Complex& u) {
    _real += u._real;
    _imag += u._imag;

    return *this;
}

The operator can be defined as a non-class friend function. For example
class Complex {
    private:
        double _real;
        double _imag;

    public:
        Complex();
        Complex(double real, double imag);
        Complex(const Complex& z);

        Complex operator+(const Complex& u) const;
        friend Complex & operator+=(Complex &v, const Complex& u);
};
Complex & operator+=(Complex &v, const Complex& u)
{
    v._real += u._real;
    v._imag += u._imag;

    return v;
}

A: First of all assign like operators should return reference to assigned value.
Secondly your code should change value of current object.
There are couple solutions:
Complex& Complex::operator+=(const Complex& u) {
    *this = Complex(_real + u._real, _imag + u._imag);
    return *this;
}

Or
Complex& Complex::operator+=(const Complex& u) {
    _real += u._real;
    _imag += u._imag;

    return *this;
}


X-rays are extremely important for diagnosing decay, bone loss around teeth, and pathology that cannot be detected during routine exams. Digital x-rays are advantageous to patients because there is significantly less radiation exposure compared to conventional radiographs. Digital x-rays can also be more readily viewed by patients which allows for better patient education.
This technology allows us to take intra oral photographs of patients teeth or gums than can be viewed on a monitor. These pictures help the dentist educate patients about the health of their mouths.
This software allows you to assess a patient's anatomy from a cone beam scan. From this information you can virtually place dental implants and plan for their final restorations.
Soft tissue lasers allow for various treatments of patients soft tissues without any bleeding.
We use the latest in dental ceramics for our crowns and veneers to provide patients with the best esthics results and strength for their teeth.
The use of rotary titanium endodontic files allow for more efficient root canal therapy. The use of these instruments in combination with digital x-rays allow for faster and more one visit root canal appointments.
An automated external defibrillator is an emergency device that analyzes heart rhythms for any abnormalities, and can deliver shocks to the heart to reestablish the correct rhythm.

Q: How to find by partial binary over BinData field in mongodb? I have a BinData field in my mongo and I need to make a find over it with partial information.
Let's say that the bindata that I have looks like this:
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5480356518e91efd34e9b5f9"), "test" : BinData(0,"dGVzdA==") }

If I do this query I get the result:
> db.test.find({"test" : BinData(0,"dGVzdA==")})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5480356518e91efd34e9b5f9"), "test" : BinData(0,"dGVzdA==") }

However I would like to find it with only a part of the binary object.
Is it possible?
Thanks!

A: "partial" is a vague term - if you're searching for a contiguous block of binary data (needle) at any point in the haystack, you're going to need a very different solution I think, maybe something based on a suffix tree / suffix array for binary data.
If you want to find binary data that starts with specific bytes, you might want to consider storing the data as hex or base64 encoded strings and use a rooted regex for index use. But that is fraught with its own perils (padding, endianness, etc.) and incredibly ugly...
Isn't there a way to store the binary data in a way that MongoDB understands it? That might be easier...

Broń paradna (ceremonialna)  – broń (zarówno biała jak i palna) przeznaczona do celów reprezentacyjnych i ceremonialnych. Jej konstrukcja jest nastawiona przede wszystkim na walory estetyczne, mające podkreślać status, sprawowaną funkcję lub wywierać wrażenie na widzu. Jej funkcje praktyczne jako broni bojowej są kwestią drugorzędną i zazwyczaj są mocno ograniczone bądź całkowicie pomijane. Wykorzystywana najczęściej jako ozdobny element stroju, wyznacznik pozycji/funkcji, lub jako element wyposażenia kompanii reprezentacyjnych np. podczas parad wojskowych.

Broń paradna zazwyczaj wytwarzana jest docelowo do roli reprezentacyjnej. Za przykład mogą posłużyć wojskowe kordziki, będące wyznacznikiem stopnia oficerskiego i noszone do mundurów galowych. Innym przykładem mogą być też bogato zdobione wersje, średniowiecznych mieczy ceremonialnych, barokowych karabel kontuszowych czy współczesnych szpad górniczych, które ze względu na ilość ozdobników (wpływających na wyważenie i wagę) lub jakość wykonania, nie nadawały się do fechtunku.

Do broni paradnej można zaliczyć również broń bojową, którą poddano zabiegom poprawiającym estetykę, a która nie utraciła swoich walorów praktycznych, np. karabiny wojskowe i szable wykorzystywane przez kompanie reprezentacyjne, w których elementy metalowe pochromowano. Mimo to, broń tego typu nie jest używana do walki, a jedynie do parad, pokazów musztry i oddawania salw honorowych ślepą amunicją. Podobnie jak miecze grunwaldzkie, będące początkowo zwykłą bronią bojową, z czasem zostały sprowadzone do roli ceremonialnej, jako insygnia władzy, a ich elementy pozłocono.

Do celów reprezentacyjnych używa się również standardowej broni bojowej nie poddanej modyfikacjom, jednak mimo pełnienia przez nią tej funkcji, nie jest ona de facto bronią paradną. W tym celu często wykorzystywana jest również broń przestarzała, wycofana z uzbrojenia jak np. II-wojenne karabiny Mauser kar98k w armii niemieckiej, oraz do niedawna karabinki SKS w armii polskiej.

To simplify testing and deployments, I am first deploying to a stand-alone karaf container, so Fabric (fabric8) has not been applied yet.
Update:  I tried changing <camelcxf:cxfEndpoint> to <jaxws:client> but that caused a different error.  In that new error, camel is expecting a CxfEndpoint type but instead got a Proxy object.  I really don't want to change the endpoints to fix this issue.  I'm certain I have not yet found the two places where the same endpoint is being used.   Still searching for that.
Update:  I have confirmed that the URI address is not being used twice.  It now seems that my entire <camelContext> is getting loaded more than once, even though I have only configured one osgi feature in the repository to use the osgi bundle.

A: I found the issue by putting a unique id on the camelContext and watching the logs for that id.  An earlier error [java.nio.channels.UnresolvedAddressException] was causing the camel context to shutdown and then restart.  During the restart it would try to reload while the previous load was still in memory.
Moral of the story:
Get your property values correct in your cfg files because a host name that fails to resolve in DNS will cause your camel context to shutdown and then restart with a misleading error message.
Better yet, just use relative endpoints instead of fully qualified ones.


As your family grows, the home can begin to feel small. You may feel like you can't walk through a room without tripping over toys or running into furniture. There are many different ways that families attempt to clear the clutter. It is not easy, however, to make decisions on what you need to get rid of. You may also consider some renovations to make more space. The first order of business is to get things out of the way so people can stop feeling cramped, which can lead to a lot of stress.
Sometimes even small amounts of stuff can become overwhelming when there is nowhere for it to go. When you have kids, things seem to accumulate faster than you can get it put away. Take a day to do an inventory of everything that seems to end up on your floors and counters. Categorize it a make a list of types of containers you need to organize it. It might be as simple as adding some shelving in the kid's rooms or living room. If your child has 100 miniature dinosaurs or toy cars, get some matching baskets or large plastic jars. Once you get everything contained, you can begin to see what you do not need.
When you are going through a home renovation or move, your home can seem even more crowded. You may have items from two or three rooms crammed into one. Many people choose to make use of self-storage facilities during this time. These come with a monthly charge and can hold both large and small items. You can bring your items back home as soon as the renovation is over. Storage facilities often have vans or trucks available to transport your items. Storage units in Tulsa are available to help you with this situation.
It can be motivating to make a little money off of unwanted items. Gather things that have not been used in several months and have a garage sale. You may find that the kids do not even miss half the toys they leave in the back of the closet. Many people keep their old clothes in case they lose weight later on. This can make it impossible to find anything in the closet. Pack down a few of your favorites and let go of the rest. You can have fun going on a shopping spree when you reach your target weight. You can also put items online if you have expensive things that may auction well.
When you are trying to get your home organized, it can help to simply get things out of the way so you can begin to feel less stressed. As you are going through your items, pack them into boxes to get them off of the floor and counters. Go through one box at a time and find space for the items. If you are renovating you can make use of a self-storage facility temporarily. Many people also use these when moving. Don't just throw things away, make a little cash by selling extra items. Use the money to buy things to help you stay organized.
