O referendo sobre a independência da Catalunha era um projeto de referendo sobre o futuro político da Catalunha, que estava incluído no acordo de governação ratificado por Artur Mas, da Convergência e União (CiU), e Oriol Junqueras, da Esquerda Republicana da Catalunha (ERC), em 18 de dezembro de 2012, chamado pelos seus signatários de Pacto pela Liberdade. O texto indicava que a data do referendo seria acordada entre os dois partidos, os quais se comprometeriam a tentar levar a cabo em 2014 "exceto se o contexto socioeconómico e político requerer uma prorrogação". Como parte do acordo, Artur Mas tomou posse do cargo de presidente da Generalitat da Catalunha para um segundo mandato.

No dia 12 de dezembro de 2013, o Governo da Catalunha anunciou que a data para o referendo sobre a independência estava definida para 9 de novembro de 2014 e iria conter uma pergunta com duas partes: "Quer que a Catalunha seja um Estado?" e "Se sim, quer que este Estado seja independente?". O Governo espanhol declarou pouco depois a sua intenção de bloquear o referendo, afirmando que este "não seria realizado".

Reações
O ministro da Justiça espanhol, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón, afirmou que o referendo não seria realizado porque "a Constituição não autoriza qualquer comunidade autónoma a submeter a votação ou a um referendo as questões relacionadas com a soberania nacional". Por sua vez, o presidente espanhol, Mariano Rajoy, reafirmou esta tese, argumentando que "a consulta […] contraria de forma clara a Constituição", embora não tenha especificado como pretenderia impedi-la. Contudo, Rajoy ofereceu-se para conversar com o governo da Catalunha em setembro de 2013, baseando-se na "relevância excecional da Catalunha para a Espanha" e na "riqueza, pluralidade e singularidade da sociedade catalã".

Consulta popular
O Tribunal Constitucional de Espanha impediu a realização do referendo sobre a independência da Catalunha previsto para o dia 9 de novembro de 2014, bem como a alternativa encontrada pelas autoridades catalãs da realização de uma consulta popular. No entanto, o próprio ministro da Justiça, Rafael Catalá, admitiu que nada faria para impedir a consulta popular na Catalunha caso esta fosse promovida e observada por organizações independentes de cidadãos e desde que o governo da Catalunha não interviesse na organização do processo.

Assim, no dia 9 de novembro de 2014, foi realizada uma consulta popular sobre a independência da Catalunha, sem caráter vinculativo. Os resultados desta consulta, onde participaram 2,3 milhões dos 6,3 milhões de catalães com direito a voto, deram vitória de 80,72% ao "sim" em ambas as perguntas — "Quer que a Catalunha seja um Estado?" e "Se sim, quer que este Estado seja independente?".

Os resultados oficiais do processo participativo foram os seguintes:

About the Royal Beacon Hotel
Steeped in history – Let us tell you a little more about us.
The hotel is situated on the highest point of the old cliff-top nearest the town centre, the site of the original beacon, which probably dated back to Elizabethan times. At that time, with the constant fear of invasion by Spanish Catholic forces, the whole of the English south coast was linked by a series of beacons on every prominence, each visible to those adjacent when lit. In this way, news of an approaching Armada could travel from Land's End to London in a matter of hours – the nearest thing the Tudors had to e-mail. The cliff-top would have been kept well clear of the kind of scrubby bushes and trees that so annoyingly obscure the sea view today, so the beacon-keepers at Exmouth were in visible contact with Berry Head, near Brixham, and as soon as that was seen to be alight, Exmouth would spring into action, relaying the danger message eastward along the coast. The original beacon has long since gone, of course, but a modern structure, symbolic of the original, still stands outside the Hotel's front door.
The hotel's origins can be traced to the French Revolution of 1789, which, after the guillotining and general Terror died down, was hijacked by the Corsican corporal, Napoleon Bonaparte, who for the next 20 years stomped up and down Western Europe with his armies, from Madrid to Moscow, fomenting further revolutions and was viewed at the time as being at best a bit of a pest, and at worst a dangerous megalomaniac.
These troubles made it too dangerous for the British aristocracy to take their traditional Grand Tour, during which they would tour the Continent in general and Italy in particular, drinking in the culture of warmer climes. Now they had to make the best of things and make do with the English seaside – a novel idea at the time. This saw small towns like Sidmouth and Exmouth rise from fishing villages to become fashionable resorts for the moderately wealthy. Young Victoria herself had a place in Sidmouth, while Exmouth's Beacon area became filled with fine Regency houses and hotels. Lady Nelson and Lady Byron lived there, and in 1810, with the Battle of Waterloo still 5 years away, the hotel was built, and named the Marine Hotel. At the same time Germany in the early 19th century consisted of a patchwork of small kingdoms, dukedoms, electorates, states etc. each with its own hierarchy of aristocrats. The Kingdom of Saxony (1806 – 1918), as it emerged from the post-Napoleonic upheavals, was centred around Dresden and Leipzig in the east of modern day Germany.
In June 1836 Frederick Augustus II became King of Saxony. He was intelligent, liberal, popular with his people, and keen to learn about the natural world. To this end, in 1844 he organised an informal tour of the UK accompanied only by his personal physician, Carl Gustav Carus. After paying his respects to Victoria and Albert at Windsor he set off with Carus along the south coast, noting among other things, interesting flora and fauna, human activities, geological formations etc.

Visitors Per Day
The King of Saxony's Journey
Carus himself was a true polymath, being a doctor both of medicine and philosophy, scientist, artist, naturalist, psychologist and goodness knows what else besides. En route, he made regular notes about anything that interested either man, which were later written up into a book entitled The King of Saxony's Journey Through England and Scotland.
Exmouth: July 1st Evening.
'At the top, the road passes through a deep cutting, and, after a short drive, we arrived at this place, which takes its name from its situation at the place where the river Ex empties itself into the channel. Exmouth is also very much visited by those who wish to enjoy the benefits of sea air and bathing. In my "Road Book of England", Exmouth is said to be "the oldest and best frequented watering place in Devon;" and the height on which our small hotel (The Marine Hotel) is situated, it can clearly be perceived that the wide bay, with its numerous and boldly projecting promontories, must be a place in which ships can lie in perfect safety, sheltered from every storm. We went down to the shore and found it covered with the finest sand, in which here and there were specimens of the violet convolvulus (Convolvulus Soldanella), and the blue flowering Eryngium maritimum, and multitudes of shells of various colours. The evening had become gloomy, but calm and warm; merchant vessels at anchor were scattered about in the bay; small fishing-boats were cleaving the glassy waters, enclosed by the beautiful projecting headlands; whilst two ships, with their full-set sails flapping loose and scarcely able to catch a breath of wind, were being towed out to sea by a fishing boat. The whole scene was charming; and when we remembered the noon-tide heat, the cool air proved doubly delightful and refreshing.
Next morning:
Exmouth bay penetrates deeply into the land, so that it would have added greatly to the distance to have travelled around; the carriages were, therefore, early in the morning put on board boats and thus conveyed across the water to a sandy promontory on the opposite side (Dawlish Warren) from which they were drawn by horses, sent for the purpose, to the high road on the further side. We, ourselves, passed the bay in a small row-boat, enjoying the delightful morning air and glorious sunlight reflected in all directions from the clear waves"……….
One evening in Exmouth is all it took to establish that royal connection. Actually, the pair were travelling incognito, as they didn't want a lot of fuss and fanfare to impede their progress, and the hotel staff may not have known at the time exactly who these bed & breakfast guests were, but word must have got out at some point. When it got back to the Proprietor, he wasn't slow to spot an opportunity and changed the name from the Marine to the Royal Beacon Hotel, and that's how it's been for the past 170 years.

The puppies seem to need more and more space now that they are up on their feet. This weekend they began to explore downstairs and will be spending more time down stairs. It is important that they be where the "action is" in the house so they get used to all the sights, sounds, and smells of a normal household. They are playing more and more and starting to eat puppy mush. They have also started to get their teeth so TC is happy to have them exploring other food options.
It was still early in the morning but the puppies are beginning to play with each other, and apparently over each other.
Bella and Blaze have opened their eyes. Clark's are just starting to open. Dean should be opening his soon. The pups are also starting to get their legs under them. Pretty soon they will be up and moving around on their feet instead of just crawling around.
The puppies are 1 week old and growing like weeds. They more than doubled in weight since their birth. I can't figure out how to embed the video yet but if you follow the link you should be able to view some video of the typical puppy activities.
We give every puppy in each litter a puppy name so that it is easier when we are talking about them or to them as they grow. Nicky, the sire of the litter, was called Greg as his puppy name as he was the first born boy in a litter of 6, 3 boys and 3 girls. Usually the puppies are renamed by their new owners but some keep their puppy names their whole lives.
We have decided on each puppy in this litter's puppy name. Puppy 1 is Dean, Puppy 2 is Clark, Puppy 3 is Blaze, and Puppy 4 is Bella.
The fourth puppy, the only girl and the only red and white. She weighed in at 8.5 oz. She is just as pushy as her brothers.
This is the third black boy. He also weighed in at 8.8 oz. He was born breach and was probably the most work for TC.
Here is the second boy. He weighed in at a hefty 8.8 oz. He is the most plainly marked of the boys.
Here is the first black boy, he weighed in at 8.1 oz and even as basically a slug has managed to charm the vet staff.
It has been a very long day. Hard labor started at about 7:30am. At 8:15am the first puppy was delivered, a black boy. After that she was pretty frantic for about an hour. She couldn't really settle. We would let her have her boy and he would nurse for a while then she would get too frantic and was moving around too much so we would take him away. At 9:25 contractions started again. The continued for an hour with no puppy and she was pushing hard each time they hit so we called the vet. They had us come in for an x-ray. The pups were just not moving toward the birth canal. The vet was worried if she kept pushing so hard for so long she would get too tired to keep delivering so she gave her a shot of oxytocin to help move them along. At 11:30am the second puppy was delivered, another black boy. At 11:55 the third puppy was born, another black boy. At 12:30 the last puppy was born, a red girl. From the x-ray there was still something in there so another shot of oxy. We found that it was a partially reabsorbed fetus. So she got another shot of oxy before she was sent home. She is comfortably napping while the pups nurse and nap. Pictures soon.

Q: Control a NSTabViewController from parent View (I'm using storyboards and swift.)
I currently have a NSWindowController which has a NSTabViewController as contentViewController.
I am now trying to change the Tabs from the NSWindowController via code using
let tabController = self.contentViewController as! NSTabViewController
tabController.tabView.selectTabViewItemAtIndex(1)

but the TabView doesn't change the view.
Am I using the API wrong?

A: I found an forum post about this topic. There seems to be a bug when setting the tabView index in combination with using NSTabViewController.
Their solution is to select the tab via the controller itself instead of its tabView.
This can be done by using the selectedTabViewItemIndex property.
So your code would be the following:
if let contentViewController = self.contentViewController as? NSTabViewController {
    contentViewController.selectedTabViewItemIndex = 1
}

I am going to file a radar on this and you should do the same. This really seems to be a bug, not a misuse of the API.

Update 11/10/2016:
The issue seems to be fixed partly. (macOS Sierra 10.12.1) The method now selects the tab, but the selection in the tab bar does not update..
Update 11/16/2016:
According to Apple, this is not a bug but intended behaviour. They are updating the documentation.

When using a tabViewController, the controller owns the tab UI (segmented control, toolbar, etc.) not the tabView itself. In fact, the tabView has the no tabs style so it only handles switching between content views.
We are using internal bug report 29184908 in order to track updating documentation stating that selectedTabViewItemIndex should be used exclusively in this context.

In the new movie Boy Erased (in theaters November 2) Lucas Hedges portrays Jared Eamons, the gay son of a Baptist preacher who is sent to conversion therapy when he comes out to his parents. Hedges plays the role so convincingly, you'd think he's had similar experiences. But while Hedges may never have gone through conversion therapy — which uses scare tactics, manipulation, guilt, and sometimes electric shocks to attempt to make someone straight — he does know what it's like to be not-straight in a heteronormative world.
Hedges appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show Tuesday, and explained that he identifies as sexually fluid. "I went to a progressive liberal arts school my whole life and in 6th grade I had a health teacher who presented the idea of sexuality existing on a spectrum," he said. "It's not really that you exist 100% one thing or 100% the other, and from that moment on I always identified myself as existing within that spectrum." Hedges said that he doesn't believe sexuality is as simple as many people make it out to be.
This isn't the first time Hedges has opened up about his sexual orientation. In an interview with Vulture in September, the Lady Bird actor said: "I felt ashamed that I wasn't 100%, because it was clear that one side of sexuality presents issues, and the other doesn't as much. I recognize myself as existing on that spectrum: Not totally straight, but also not gay and not necessarily bisexual." He said in the interview that sexuality is complicated and confusing.
And he's right. Sexuality is complicated. Some people argue that we all fall somewhere in the middle of totally straight and totally gay, because everyone has the ability to find someone of any gender attractive. But the world may not be ready to consider that possibility yet, considering that conversion camps like the one portrayed in Boy Erased still exist.


Screen printing is the process of applying colored inks to fabric. Garments are placed on a textile press where the color is applied one at a time via screens that separate the colors within the image. These are overlaid until all the colors of the image are applied to the material.
Once the colors are applied, the garments are sent through a textile dryer where the inks are dried. The end result is a product with a colorful design on it.
ABco Marketing can provide you with all the services necessary to create t-shirts or other products for your corporate needs. Contact one of our representatives today to receive more information on logoed t-shirts, sport shirts, coffee mugs, or any other promotional products that interest you.
What To Do First - Determine the budget you have to work with, then pick the type of apparel you would like from our catalog. You can request a catalog from our "Request Information" page. Send us the information by using our online form or fax it to our office. Our professional staff will contact you to help you with the process.
How Long Will It Take - Screen printed jobs are usually completed in approximately 7-10 working days from start to finish. If you need a rush order, please ask. We will let you know when your job can be completed.
Minimum Orders - Our minimum is only 24 pieces. You may mix garments to meet the minimum and/or receive quantity breaks.
Setup Cost - This is a one-time charge which covers the labor for making the necessary artwork and/or outputting your files and preparing the initial screens for printing. We use one screen per color. In most cases, the price includes film for our files; however, this does not include the cost for additional film copies or actual screens to leave ABco. For complex artwork, there may be additional film charges.
Quantity Pricing - Quantity pricing on all garments is available upon request.
Artwork - For a charge, ABco Marketing can work from any image that you provide. To avoid a setup charge, we will need camera ready artwork. Contact customer service for more information.
Proofs - For small jobs, we often proof a color output of your design by fax or e-mail. If you would like to see the first shirt off the press, this is called a "press proof." A proof is recommended for large orders or complex artwork. The minimum charge for a proof is $5.00 per color. If the time exceeds 1/2 hour, we will bill at an hourly rate for press time. Customer Service can help you in scheduling a press proof if desired.
Reorders - Reorders are no problem; although, there is a small reset charge per color.

Massive fire engulfs India hotel
BY Libyan Express Sep 05, 2022 - 12:28
2 dead, 10 injured as fire engulfs hotel in India
At least two people were killed and 10 others injured after a massive fire gutted a hotel in India's Lucknow city on Monday.
Lucknow District Magistrate Suryapal Gangwar told media that around 35 people have been evacuated from the hotel building in India's northern Uttar Pradesh state and the injured have been taken to hospital.
The actual cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained, he said, adding that an electrical short circuit might have ignited the fire.
At least 15 fire tenders were rushed to the spot to bring the fire under control.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the hospital to inquire after the injured and ordered an inquiry into the fire incident.

A perfect green gemstone to get you in the mood and help you celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Rich, intense Green Tsavorite Garnet is the one gemstone that rivals the Emerald in its beauty and color. This gem was found in the early 1970s in Kenya, Africa They identified the highly brilliant, green gem as a transparent green variety of Garnet species of Grossularite Garnet. Tiffany & Company in 1974 marketed the magnificent green garnet as Tsavorite.
Exotic Tsavorite is very limited as very few sources have been discovered. Two sources being Kenya and Tanzania, Africa. It has also been mined in Brazil and Sri Lanka. Tsavorite is one of the most expensive and sought after Garnets. The Tsavorite crystals that are found are generally very small in size. A faceted Tsavorite Garnet of 1 to 3 carats is very rare and very valuable. The largest faceted Tsavorite is just under 24 carats.
Did you know that green Tsavorite Garnet is the birthstone for January? It is a Garnet and no it does not have to be red.
Tsavorite Garnet is 100% Natural and is not treated in any way. This gemstone is very durable in jewelry; it rates 7 to 7 1/2 on the MOHS scale for hardness.
To clean your gem, use a soft cloth and warm water with just a drop of dish soap. Dry with a soft cloth. Never put your colored gems in an ultra sonic cleaner or harsh chemicals.


Beachgoers can't miss the offshore barges and pipes spreading sand newly dredged from the Kalamazoo River channel onto Oval Beach.
The King Co., hired as contractor by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the $375,000 project, is deepening the federal channel from Coral Gables to the river mouth to 16 feet below mean lake levels.
With Lake Michigan currently three feet higher than that, that will now mean 19 feet of depth.
King March 25 began spreading the 34,000 cubic yards of spoils onto Oval Beach 4,900 to 6,500 feet south of the river mouth. Barring weather delays, it should button up work within two weeks.
Any negative impact on or near the beach will be minor and temporary, USACE Grand Haven Branch construction chief Chris Schropp said.
The work could cause a "temporary degradation of the aesthetic quality" in the area, that is, the water could be cloudy and wildlife could experience a minor disturbance.
The federal government did not originally include Saugatuck, considered by the Corps a "recreational harbor," in dredging plans for 2019. The federal channel here requires deepening on a 3- to 4-year cycle per guidelines, but dredging was last done here in 2013.
U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, pushed for funds and $375,000 was awarded for the area work last June.
The updated work plan came about when Congress appropriated additional funding for ongoing work in the fiscal year 2018 Energy & Water Development Appropriations Act as contained in the 2018 Consolidated Appropriations Act.
The new plan also calls for harbors in South Haven and New Buffalo to receive $365,000 and $275,000 worth of dredging respectively.
King will be contractor for those projects, plus ones in Frankfort and Pentwater this year, Schropp said.

❉ Tight-fitting workout clothes with pants that cover the knees work well. Keep in mind that you will be upside-down A LOT. No pants with zippers or other metal. Absolutely no jeans. Men – please wear supportive undergarments.
❉ In cooler months a warm cover-up will keep your muscles warm between turns. In warmer months, it's nice to have a small towel.
❉ You will be barefoot in class.
❉ ALL jewelry is unsafe for you and for our equipment – please store it safely away until after class.
❉ WATER. It is very important to stay hydrated.
❉ A notebook will help you remember your new skills.
❉ A positive attitude. Circus arts may be hard in the beginning; don't get discouraged! You will be amazed how much strength you will gain by the end of the session. Although it can be painful, circus is FUN! Keep trying, and remember that the phrase "I can't" is not in our vocabulary here at Xelias.
❉ An open mind. We will challenge you. Be open to trying new things. We would never ask you to do anything unsafe.
❉ Be on time. Warming up is important. It helps you avoid getting injured. Be aware that a class or rehearsal may be starting immediately following yours. Help them start on time, too.
❉ Be clean and odor-free. Avoid perfumes, wear deoderant and clean clothes for the sake of others around you.
❉ Avoid lotions or oils on class days. They will make you slippery when you sweat and make the equipment slippery for the next person.

Stone Age Diets Were Far From Healthy
Even in the Neolithic, Norwegians were overloaded with heavy metals.

Want to serve up an authentic Stone Age meal for your paleo-dieting friends? First, take your fish or seal meat and marinate it for thousands of years in a briny mixture of cadmium and lead (available in all good stores and car batteries). Sprinkle on mercury to taste, and serve with nuts and berries. Any leftovers? Store them at the back of your shelter for the winter, or until the severe and perhaps lethal heavy metal poisoning takes hold.
As much as we might like to believe that ancient foods were pure and free of the taint of industrialization, a new study paints a very different picture of the way many of our early ancestors ate. Remains of meals eaten by people living in northern Norway about 8,000 years ago show they were tainted by massive amounts of toxic heavy metals—with concentrations up to 22 times higher than the levels allowed by modern food safety standards.
"We were greatly surprised by the levels of contamination," says Hans Peter Blankholm, an archaeologist at the Arctic University of Norway, who led the new study. The findings indicate the Stone Age ocean was awash with huge quantities of toxins, and that food taken from it was unhealthy, and perhaps unsafe, to eat.
Blankholm's team looked at fragments of bones from Atlantic cod and harp seals in food refuse collected from well-studied Stone Age settlements in the Varanger Peninsula, above the Arctic Circle. Using a dentist's drill, they extracted samples and checked them for contaminants.
In the cod bones, they found levels of cadmium up to 22 times higher than today's recommended limits, while lead was three to four times higher. The lead levels in seal bones were similarly high, while cadmium levels were 15 times higher than today's guidelines. Mercury levels in both were below the recommended limit, but were still high—almost as high as the elevated levels found in Arctic fish today.
The scientists say the heavy metal levels in the marine foods are an example of how pollutants steadily build up in the tissues of sea creatures through the food chain: a process called bioaccumulation. In humans, significant exposure to cadmium is known to cause cancer and kidney, liver, and lung diseases, with children and pregnant women most at risk.
Where did the heavy metal pollution come from? The scientists suggest it was down to climate change. Rapid warming and sea level rise about 10,000 years ago may have eroded the land and washed stocks of minerals from the soil into the sea.

On Tuesday night at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, there was much speculation and anticipation for the first public appearance by Hillary Clinton since she left her role as secretary of state, and she did not disappoint the audience.
A largely female audience there to attend Vital Voices' Global Awards Dinner greeted her enthusiastically. Vital Voices is an organization Clinton founded fifteen years ago that seeks to empower and equip women across the globe with the necessary skills and training to make a positive impact.
Many speculated that this was the start of the 2016 presidential campaign, as Vice President Biden was also invited to speak at the event. There was no talk, however, of future plans by either former candidate and instead, only effusive praise of each other's work to end violence against women and honor women leaders around the world.
It was in 1995 that then-First Lady Clinton made international headlines when, at the UN World Conference of Women in Beijing, China, she uttered the words, "human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights." To this day, many say it was a watershed moment for women in the fight for gender equality across the globe.
But in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary campaign, her championship of women did not translate into automatic support by women for her candidacy. Clinton barely won 50 percent of the women's vote in the Democratic primary fight against Barack Obama. She also did not receive unanimous support among women elected leaders, with several of her female Senate colleagues, such as Amy Klobuchar and Claire McCaskill, endorsing Obama.
Polling showed a generational divide where Hillary captured more older women voters while Obama captured the younger generation. Women in the middle split between the two. The younger woman voter didn't feel a sense of obligation to vote for the first "one of their own," but instead felt more passion for Obama's message of hope and his vision for the future.
The good news is that the demographics of today's general electorate appear much more friendly. Women have supported the Democratic candidate in each of the last six elections and continue to grow their share of the electorate, which was 53 percent in 2012. In addition, the 20-point gender gap in 2012 was the largest in history favoring Obama over Romney.
If Hillary decides to run in 2016, she will be 69 years old, and will once again face generational challenges with women voters in a fight for the nomination, as the primary field will not be cleared. More even than in 2008, she will need to heed the lessons of past elections and know that the women's vote is not guaranteed. Instead, she will have to be mindful that each generation must be earned and inspired by the promise of a more prosperous tomorrow, and not obligation for the past.

NEW ICE AGE COMING
Bad news for the CO2 global warming disciples and for
all "scientists", who knowingly or unknowingly put this
nonsense into the world, that the earth heats up,
because humans produce too much CO2.
"Something strange is going on with our sun"
says NASA expert David Hathaway from the Marshall
Space Flight Center in Alabama and the solar expert says
further: "What is happening up there is deeply mysterious."
The actual sun cycle is the weakest of the last one hundred
years and Hathaway and his colleagues can only draw one conclusion:
A new ice age is coming and that already in 2014!
The Russian scientist Wladimir Baschkin agrees with the
measurements from NASA and concludes that the radiation
power from our most important heavenly body declines.
This can also be seen from the reduction in solar spots.
Chabibbullo Abdussamatov from the observatory in St. Petersburg
adds, that this "negative energy balance" happens since 1990.
Which means, not surprisingly and quite clearly:
The world doomsday prophets, mainly ex-vice
president of the USA and Oscar winner Al Gore,
lied to us; cold as ice.
Why? In order to introduce a world tax,
which has been realized as a CO2 tax (Kyoto Protocol 1997).
Since then countries, which have signed the contracts,
pay an enormous amount of money. It fits quite nicely into
this tale of lies, that the largest producer of CO2, the USA,
did not sign the Kyoto protocol.
I am very curious how these bandits back peddle.
And what will the green politicians do in face of these facts?
Based on experiences so far, I expect nothing.
But it would be appropriate to do three things:
1.) To apologize to Mankind and pay back all collected climate funds.
2.) To ask all scientists, who took part in this gauntlet,
have falsified the data or have supported the hoax,
to take responsibility; to strip them of their academic
titles and forbid them to do any further work in this area.
3.) To investigate the real motives of Albert Arnold "Al" Gore,
the former US presidential candidate (2000), to put this lie
into the world (including the Hollywood movie "Inconvenient Truth");
and expose the people behind him and the ones giving the orders.
Much of this eco thriller points to the fact, that it may be a
conspiracy of the Elite against Mankind, whereby they invented
this environmental tax in pursuit of the NEW WORLD ORDER.
With the following goal:
a.) To financially ruin all countries, which is already
done by means of bank rescues, and then
b.) Control the private energy consumption (new currency
meters) and report this to an environmental police.
Climate scientist Baschkin to his fellow scientists:
"They will all be very much surprised."
The same for us, because the way of doing things,
how the elite, experienced in audacity, will pull themselves out
of this affair, will be a new milestone in gall and hubris.
In the winter of 2010 the German Bildzeitung had the title:
"Scientists claim: Global warming makes winter colder!"
That's how it goes. The only question is, how much longer?
Because: "One can lie to all the people some of the time and
to some people all the time, but not to all the people all the time."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865),
16th President of the United States of America.
Otherwise I demand the unconditional basic
income for all individuals from 0-99.

Q: Get sizes of uploaded files with php After i upload some files to my server, and save them in sql, i list them on my site.
while($a = mysqli_fetch_assoc($get_files))
        {
            $path_parts = pathinfo($a['fajl_file']);
            $extension = $path_parts['extension'];

            $path = $host.'/documents/'.$a['fajl_file'];

            echo '

                '.html($a['fajl_nev']).'
                '.date_substr($a['fajl_datetime']).'
                '.$extension.'
                '.filesize($path).'

';
        }

Where i am listing the files, i want to display not just the name or upload date, i want the file size also.
With this code, i get this error:

Warning:  filesize(): stat failed for

When i check the website source, the path i gived, its correct. The files are in the documents folder on the server.

A: Use the filepath for the filesize() function.
example filepath:
/var/www/myfile.txt

or on Windows
C:\xampp\htdocs\myfile.txt

A: Your issue is that you are passing an absolute URL to the filesize() function when it needs a relative local file link (Qualifier: Some URLs are valid in PHP5+).
   $path = $host.'/documents/'.$a['fajl_file'];
   /***
   /*  http://www.someweb.site/documents/somefile.pdf
   /***/
   echo ''.filesize($path).'	';

The above is passing to output filesize("http://www.someweb.site/documents/somefile.pdf") which is not what you want, you need to translate the document path to the local file version
You can do this using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']:
   $path = $host.'/documents/'.$a['fajl_file'];
   $localPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/documents/'.$a['fajl_file'];
   /***
   /*  /home/users/webaccount/www/documents/somefile.pdf
   /***/
   echo ''.filesize($localPath).'	';

This should then output the data requested.

*

*You may well want to format your file size output.

City&Country: G.I.M. makes its presence felt in Penang
August 4th, 2010 Leave a comment
The Golden Triangle area in Kuala Lumpur has been so named because it is the city's most vibrant commercial, retail and entertainment hub. And it is this vibrancy that G.I.M. Group of Companies wants to replicate up north in Penang.
G.I.M., a homegrown developer, aims to achieve this through its biggest project to date in terms of value – The Golden Triangle in Relau, named after KL's Golden Triangle. It is the group's second project on Penang Island, with an expected gross development value (GDV) of RM360 million.
Incorporated in 2004, G.I.M. began its property development business in Kedah and has completed two housing projects – Taman Sejahtera Jaya and Taman Sutera Indah – in the state. These were fully sold.
G.I.M. then ventured into Penang with a project called Taman Selesa Ria on the mainland last year, before expanding its presence on the island with two other projects.
Located in the residential district of Alma, Bukit Mertajam, the freehold 6.8-acre Taman Selesa Ria comprises 22 bungalow lots, and more than 75% have been sold.
Subsequently, G.I.M. developed Oasis Residences in Relau, its first project on Penang Island. This low-density project offers 28 units of 3-storey bungalows, 3-storey semi-detached homes and 3-storey terraced homes on a 3.3-acre site.
The freehold project has been 80% sold since November last year, although it has yet to be officially launched. The project is expected to be completed in December next year.
The Golden Triangle
The Golden Triangle in Relau is being developed by GIM Smart Venture Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of the group. The Golden Triangle will be the group's flagship project for the next three years, GIM Smart Venture chief executive Terrence Lim tells City & Country. The project's gross land area is 11 acres, while the net land area is 7.84 acres.
"Another reason the project is called The Golden Triangle is because the site is shaped like a triangle. The land is divided into two by a monsoon drain. We will build a pedestrian bridge to connect the two sides," he says.
With the project fronting the busy Jalan Datuk Ismail Hashim and Jalan Paya Terubung, the developer plans to build a new road to connect the freehold project with the two main roads to smoothen traffic flow. This will also allow the development to have three access frontages.
GIM Smart Venture, which has an authorised and paid-up capital of RM1 million, plans to launch the mixed development in two phases. Phase One, which was launched at the end of last month, consists of a 5-storey podium and two 19-storey condominium blocks.
The 5-storey podium comprises 68 units of 1-storey, 2-storey and 3-storey shoplots, as well as 28 serviced duplex suites. These units, with sizes from 500 sq ft, are priced from RM400 psf.
The 672 condominium units have built-ups from 1,165 to 1,410 sq ft. These are tagged at RM265 psf onwards
Some 90% of the shoplots have been sold, while the two condominium blocks have been fully sold.
The developer plans to launch Phase Two by the middle of next year. It will put on the market 14 units of 3-storey shoplots and 36 units of 2-storey shoplots, housed in a 3-storey podium, as well as 220 condo units in a high-rise block.
This project is a joint venture with Koperasi Tunas Muda Sungai Ara Bhd, to which the developer will release four progressive payments over the next five years, Lim says, without revealing the amount.
He adds that the developer won the project via an open tender, and that the cooperative had got all the approvals and the development order when the agreement was signed in January this year.
"This cooperative owns over 100 acres of land there, and this particular parcel (The Golden Triangle) is part of it. The cooperative started their master layout plan for this landbank before 2003, and the latest subdivision is based on the master plan. It will develop some parcels on its own and some through joint ventures.
"We hope to have more joint-venture opportunities with this cooperative, but many developers have that in mind as well," Lim says.
Another development is already on the company's plate – Riverside Residences, which is also in Relau off Penang Island. This project is scheduled for launch by the middle of next year, after it launches Phase Two of The Golden Triangle.
Lim says the freehold site for Riverside Residences was purchased last year. The proposed development is for 3-storey terraced homes and semidees, as well as condominiums. He adds that the group is exploring two projects on Penang mainland but nothing is concrete yet.
Lim, who is from Kuala Lumpur, joined the company in December last year to help the company get the tender for The Golden Triangle project, and stayed on to manage it.
He graduated with a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering from Ohio State University in 1994, and worked in the engineering industry for eight years. He also obtained his master's degree in business administration from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, in 1997.
Lim made his initial foray into property development in 2003, when he and a friend got involved in a development in Bukit Mertajam. It was a turnkey project; they didn't need to pay for the land, all they had to do was the development and marketing.
In 2005, Lim joined an investment company that had been trying to explore development opportunities in China.
"In business, a few things are related. The structure of business [for engineering and property development] is quite similar and my engineering background trained me to be more analytical. So when it comes to property development, I look more into the quantitative methodology of project management.
"I didn't have the so-called transition shock because it was quite gradual. After I finished my MBA, I did sales in another organisation. Sales are the driver of any business because it is where the money comes from. So when I joined the property development business, the first thing was also sales. When a project is ready, it is how you push it into the market and how people perceive your product," he says.

Q: PostgreSQL: Why does this simple query not use the index? I have a table t with a column c, which is an int and has a btree index on it.
Why does the following query not utilize this index?
explain select c from t group by c;

The result I get is:
HashAggregate  (cost=1005817.55..1005817.71 rows=16 width=4)
  ->  Seq Scan on t  (cost=0.00..946059.84 rows=23903084 width=4)

My understanding of indexes is limited, but I thought such queries were the purpose of indexes.

A: This query can be performed using an optimization called a loose index scan. However PostgreSQL doesn't yet implement this optimization, so it uses a table scan instead.
Of the major databases, as far as I know only MySQL has implemented loose index scan (perhaps Oracle too?). PostgreSQL hasn't implemented this feature.

A: The query certainly can use an index.  The reason that it doesn't in your particular case depends on the particular size and distribution of the data.  You can use SET enable_seqscan TO off to investigate.

A: Because it requires scanning the entire table, so doing that via the index is of no benefit. ("Covering indices" aren't useful as a performance technique in PostgreSQL due to its MVCC implementation).
