My two favorite racing games are LEGO Racers and Combat Cars, both of which are not very critically acclaimed and certainly aren't serious racing games, but I know what I like about them and that's that.
I know, right? I had some of the sweetest cars. I might have to start that up again. I had so much fun with that game.
I remember the first one on PC! I never cared for the vehicle selection, but I thought the power-ups and tracks were (and probably still are) awesome.
I'm sorry you weren't very good at building cars.
So did anyone else do races just to look for all the secret paths?
I think the best racer I ever played was Burnout 3: Takedown. It was fast-paced and wild. Loved it. Zoom past cars making sure that you didn't crash (even a little bit because it was that easy to crash) was exhilarating.
Not much longer before Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing: Transformed is released. Wii U version is coming out on the Wii U's launch date. Much speculation is rising.
Also, be sure to check out my videos in the General Gaming Discussion thread. Let me know what you think!!!!
I'm making videos for you guys on Christ Centered Gamer!!!
I did. I did just about all there was to do in that game.
I think the best racer I ever played was Burnout 3: Takedown.
I heard some good things about it as a fun, fast-paced romp.
How do you think it will turn out? A lot of people we're getting excited about this game. When they saw this they we're hooting and hollering.

Florida Legislators Pass H.M.O. Plan for Medicaid
LIZETTE ALVAREZ
MIAMI — In a sweeping overhaul of its $21 billion Medicaid program, the Florida Legislature approved a bill Friday to shift nearly three million Medicaid recipients into managed-care programs in the hope of saving money and improving services.
"Medicaid has grown faster than any other part of our budget," said State Senator Joe Negron, Republican of Stuart, who took the lead on the bill. "It is crowding out funding for education, economic development and other parts of the budget that are equally important."
If signed into law as expected, the bill will make Florida, with one of the largest number of Medicaid patients and a high rate of uninsured, one of the biggest states to jump almost entirely from a traditional Medicaid payment system into managed care. The wholesale shift would begin in July 2012.
The bill, a compromise between the House and the Senate versions, would allow the state to decide how much to spend on Medicaid each year, share in the profits of managed-care companies if they exceed 5 percent and penalize networks that reneged on contracts. To help ensure better care for patients, the bill would also require plans to include specialists and provide higher reimbursement rates to doctors.
Patients would be charged $10 monthly premiums and $100 if they showed up at the emergency room with a non-emergency.
The state and managed-care companies would control which services to provide to Medicaid patients. In so doing, the legislation would do away with the existing fee-for-service system, in which the state pays providers for each service, a practice that has led to widespread fraud and inconsistent care. Reimbursement rates have dropped so low that many doctors choose not to treat Medicaid patients.
The Legislature's bill seeks to remedy those issues with the requirement that plans include specialists and the higher reimbursement rates to doctors.
Another sweetener for doctors and hospitals is a provision that limits the amount they would have to pay out in malpractice damages for pain and suffering to $300,000 for each Medicaid claimant, unless the damages award is punitive. Senator Negron said the cap was appropriate because doctors who treat Medicaid patients are basically providing a public service and should be encouraged to do so.
But Democrats said it would be unreasonable to charge poor patients fees and unjust to treat them differently in malpractice cases. "Why is it that their pain and suffering is devalued?" asked State Senator Arthenia L. Joyner, a Democrat of Tampa.
Gov. Rick Scott, a wealthy former health care executive who made revamping Medicaid a priority, supports the legislation, which is projected to save $1.1 billion in its first year.
But the proposed law cannot go into effect without the approval of the federal government, which pays more than half of Florida's Medicaid tab. Last month, the federal government advised legislators to choose the payment system that would guarantee that a percentage of the money, in this case 90 percent, would go to patient services. Instead, the Legislature chose the other option: to share profits with managed-care companies.
But Senator Negron said he was not worried. "We have given the federal government a hundred good reasons to approve our plan," he said. "I think they will work with us because they have the same economic pressures that we have."
Democrats and patient advocates said that they worried profit would get in the way of care and that some people would not be able to pay premiums. They expressed alarm that the bill is based on a five-year-old pilot program in five Florida counties that had decidedly mixed results. At least seven managed-care companies pulled out of the program in Broward County, and many patients — most of whom are low-income children or pregnant women — fled to networks run by hospitals.
Managed care is not new to Florida. About 60 percent of Medicaid patients are in some form of managed care but, outside of the pilot program, they must receive a mandated minimum level of benefits.
The Medicaid overhaul also extends into long-term care. Nursing home residents would shift into managed care, but the bill provides a separate provision for them. Payments would go directly to the nursing homes, bypassing managed-care companies, so money would not be deducted for administrative fees. Savings would come by shifting more people into home- and community-based programs.
Developmentally disabled people would be exempt from the managed care system for now. And each of the 11 managed-care regions in Florida would have to include a network run by a hospital or doctors. Those networks could continue to use the traditional payment system for three more years.
Those who already have insurance and are eligible for Medicaid would receive a voucher from the state to apply to their policies.

Most anatomical and biomechanical studies on the craniovertebral junction have involved morphological or morphometric analysis on the occipital condyles. Some of these studies have provided important findings based on different surgical procedures. The shape, size and angle of the occipital condyles and the locations of the intracranial and extracranial orifices of the hypoglossal canal are highly important because they may affect the lateral approaches to the craniovertebral junction. To determine the frequency of occurrence of different morphological types of occipital condyle. 214 occipital condyles in 107 dry human skulls were analyzed and the classification of their morphological types was determined through assessing digitized photographic images. Among the 107 skulls analyzed, 59.8 % were male and 40.2 % were female. Their ages ranged from 11 to 91 years, with a mean of 57.56 years. Of the total of 10 morphological types of occipital condyle that were found, more than 50 % were of the "8", "S" and ring types. Condyles of "8" and "S" shape were the main types found in male skulls: the "8" shape prevailed on the left side and the "S" shape on the right side. However, in female skulls, these two types had equal bilateral distribution.

Snow leads to chaos and stress for drivers
By: McKenzie Nelson
After another snow storm blanketed the Kansas City metro area Friday, crews are just as fed up with winter, as those who live there.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After another snow storm blanketed the Kansas City metro area Friday, crews are just as fed up with winter, as those who live there.
For the past three winter seasons, Betty Marcos has been a snow plow driver for the Kansas Department of Transportation. She said this winter in particular has been the worst.
"I'm ready for the weekends to be done with all of the snow and I'm ready for spring," said Marcos.
When winter weather arrives, Marcos and many others work 12 hour shifts to clear the roads. With sleep and plenty of coffee, she gets the job done.
"It's really exhausting, a lot of people think sitting behind the wheel of a truck is easy and it's not. It wears on you after awhile," said Marcos.
Marcos grew up in the metro area so she knows what winter can bring. Marcos said the snow is enough to handle, let alone dealing with drivers on the road that make it dangerous for plows to do their job.
"Sometimes we look out the windows and see people on their cell phones, they need to put their cell phones down and buckle up and try to stay out of our way while we're plowing," said Marcos.
Marcos wants drivers to be aware of the job she has to do to keep everyone safe.
While the snow and slick conditions caused a mess on roads, several Good Samaritans stepped in to help drivers in need.
At the intersection of Broadway Boulevard and 31st Street, Ethan Williamson and his friend pushed dozens of cars for several hours.
"My medical school canceled classes and so I thought I'd do something with my day," he told 41 Action News. "I didn't have anything better to do and I thought if I was stuck in this I'd be really bummed if no one came to help me out."
Who says you can't help someone & do a @41actionnews digital report at the same time?
Roads are a MESS right now. We saw dozens of cars get stuck at 31st/Broadway. Tough getting traction pushing cars.
Unless it's an emergency, stay off the roads.

Along Brush Creek Parkway and State Line Road, a similar scene played out in the afternoon.
Julian Rivera arrived to help his stranded girlfriend before assisting cars that were stuck in snow move up a hill.
"I was just planning on helping her out but to help her out, I had to help everybody else out," he said. "They're just ready to get home just like everybody else. I'm just glad to help them."
Can't underestimate how bad Broadway/31st is. If not for good samaritans pushing cars it would be at a standstill pic.twitter.com/cw4d4J4Fqc
After hours of helping the drivers in need, Ethan Williamson hoped his effort would inspire others.
"It's Missouri," he said. "We're here to help each other. Whatever it takes to get that done."

Cereal rust resistance pre-breeding
Pre-breeding for rust resistance is done in both spring and winter wheat backgrounds as these diseases occur in all the wheat production regions of South Africa. Often, resistance to more than one kind of rust is needed in the same line. Pre-breeders make use of molecular markers where possible to confirm the presence of resistance gene is the germplams being developed. This is, however, always confirmed by seedling evaluations in the glasshouse or adult plant evaluations under field conditions. By stacking different genes with resistance against the same rust together in one line a more durable resistance can be obtained with a lower risk of the resistance being overcome by new pathotypes.

Stem rust
Stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici is arguably the most economically important disease of bread wheat, barley and triticale worldwide. It is also sometimes called black rust. For many years the incidence of stem rust in South Africa has been very low, primarily due to the deployment of resistant cultivars in farmer's fields. This may be changing due to the ability of rust pathogens to overcome host resistance. Internationally, a rust pathotype named Ug99 (Race TTKSK) is causing concern. It has been shown to overcome a number of important resistance genes notably Sr31, Sr24 and Sr36 and has spread via winds from East Africa where it originated to new localities thousands of kilometres away. It is estimated that approximately 80-90% of global wheat cultivars are susceptible to this pathotype.
Leaf rust
Leaf rust of wheat and triticale (Puccinia triticina) can cause extensive yield losses, both in quantity and quality when environmental conditions are favourable for its development. It is generally more severe on autumn-grown wheat in the winter rainfall regions of the Cape Province, but moist conditions and elevated temperatures during spring can promote leaf rust in the Free State production region. Irrigated spring wheat throughout South Africa can also be subjected to severe leaf rust epidemics under favourable conditions. As with stem rust, the development and release of leaf rust resistant cultivars in South Africa in the past has minimised the risk posed by this disease to producers and assisted in making them internationally more competitive.
Stripe rust
Stripe rust of wheat and barley caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici was first noted in South Africa in August 1996, in the Western Cape, South Africa. It now occurs throughout the country, but is more prevalent in cool and wet conditions such as the eastern Free State and the Western Cape. Severe yield losses occur when this funus infects the awns.

Beautiful and thoughtful post about our use of words and the process to lead us to them. I frequently refer to my notes that I took during my study in your "Writing Wonderful Character-Driven Picture Books" course.
Marsha, a great post! Imagine all the words you had to think of to get to those special 3 per day! Thanks.
A wonderful blog full of understated information. I am buying some of the books. Thanks.
Great post, Marsha! I love how you describe some of your writing process. Less is more in the PB world!
Beautiful, articulate, insightful post. All writers AND readers should read this! ""Our job, as writers, is often taking words away, rather than adding them." - perfect.
Hello, everyone. I just came across this in a blog and thought it most appropriate for "The Question" follow-up. Wish I'd remembered/come across it before, so I could have included it. Virginia Woolf evidently wrote in her Diary: "My mind works in idleness. To do nothing is often my most profitable way." Isn't that perfect?

Is Religion Sneaking into our Schools?
July 23, 2013 by Brian Schmied 4 Comments
Californians in the Encinitas Union School District recently attempted to ban yoga from physical education (PE) in public schools because of its religious origin. It sounds silly, but keeping religion out of the classroom has become an increasingly valued part of upholding religious freedom in Americans schools.
Here in America
Often when religion makes an appearance in the public sphere and becomes embroiled in legal difficulties we expect to find the ACLU and people who are considered to be 'angry, politically correct atheists' behind it. That is not the case here though. See, there is a major difference between teaching yoga and using the bible as a history book. Yoga, as practiced in a PE class in school, does not come with any religious teachings or spirituality attached.
So, who hates religion enough that everything it becomes associated with needs to be beaten to death with the separation clause? Well, other religions apparently. It isn't that they fear that there might be religious influence on their children in schools, as we've come to expect from such court cases. One mother involved in the yoga case complained that, "We will have a society very soon where Christians will be the weirdest people…They will just be touted as crazy." According to her, the judge's decision to keep the half million dollar yoga program displayed an anti-Christian bias.
Somehow though, we don't see these same people suing the district when their children are forced to sing about Jesus in their school choir. The fear here is very much that children may come into contact with a notion that their parents did not place into their crib. It's "stranger danger" on crack.
The American political system did its job exactly as it should in refusing to ban yoga on the basis of paranoia.
That said, we aren't alone in the world in attempting to abort opposing religious views where they barely exist.
In Moscow, earlier this month, Russian Orthodox Christians made a similar move against a religion that is also too obscure to be a threat to their establishment. A Scientology center built a little too close to their convent made a stir, and protesters gathered to demand legislation to ban Scientologist influence in schools.
Their totalitarian perspective can really make you appreciate living in America. Valentin Lebedev, one of the organizers of the event, stated,"…anyone who cares about the survival of Russia must join the body of the Russian Orthodox Church."
Of course we're used to that kind of talk from Russia. You might be more surprised to learn that Switzerland also made the news recently. Scientologists have been expanding into Europe aggressively recently under their CEO, David Miscavige.
This has garnered some negative attention from Europeans. Swiss officials pulled a DVD "The History of Human Rights" from their history curriculum at the end of June. It's not because there was religious content in the DVD, but because it was produced by Jugend für Menschenrechte (Youth for Human Rights), a group that has ties to Scientology. You see, human rights education can't be a good idea if a Scientologist paid for it.
According to the Swiss officials such materials are dangerous because they could cause students to become interested in human rights activism through Youth for Human Rights, and come into contact with Scientologists.
Fear of allowing children to come into contact with the "other" seems to drive political action. It can make people go on the offensive in situations that can be quite strange to the outside observer. They see it as some sort of contagion.
Students cannot catch an Eastern religion from yoga like a disease, and they can't catch Scientology from watching a DVD on human rights. It would probably be best if everyone would just slowly put down the pitchforks.
Brian Schmied is an enthusiastic fan of religion, politics, and religious politics. He enjoys reading and writing about issues of human nature, rationality, and irrationality, which determine the destiny of our species and the freedom we have in our everyday lives.

Brian Schmied says
Hi Brenda. That's actually a common misconception. Teachers are no longer allowed to FORCE students to pray in school. That is as far as the law goes on that matter. The rights of students to pray has never been under attack. They were simply given the right to refuse, which was often met with corporal punishment before.

Sir Sydney and Sir Edward Williams
1920 - 2003 (Sydney), 1921 - 1999 (Edward) - Inducted 2019
Image source: Anna Rogers / Newspix (Sydney), State Library of Queensland (Edward)
Two Williams brothers made lasting contributions to Australian racing – one at the far north of Queensland, the other in the south. –. Syd's contribution was as chairman of the highly successful 'Cairns Amateurs' for 40 years from its inception in 1959., During this period it became one of the richest regional racing carnivals in Australia. Ned, further south, was chairman of the Queensland Turf Club in Brisbane for eleven years and serving on the committee for 27 years.
They were born at Yungaburra in the Cairns hinterland, losing their father in 1929 in their early boyhood. Educated at Charters Towers, as young men both served overseas in the Second World War, in the army and air force respectively, before continuing along separate paths.
Syd - Sir Henry Sydney Williams OBE (1920-2003) – was an astute businessman. When still in his twenties he took control of the family's storekeeping, land agency, motor car and farm machinery business 'Estate H.S. Williams', pioneered by his late grandfather. Syd opened additional branches in northern Queensland, extending its operations into mining and industrial equipment. As a founder of Bush Pilots Airways, subsequently Air Queensland, he assiduously promoted travel and tourism to the region. Noted for his enthusiasm, warmth and congeniality, Syd Williams played a crucial role in fostering racing in Far North Queensland, especially through the success of the Amateurs each September, building this Cairns raceday into a three-day carnival. He was knighted in 1983 for services to the community.
His younger brother, Ned (1921-1999) – Sir Edward Stratten Williams KBE – studied law in London, returning to Australia in 1946, working as a Brisbane barrister before being appointed a Queensland Supreme Court judge in 1971. In racing he tasted early success as an owner, in partnership with C.A. (Bill) Edwards, with Gold Titan, a handy city sprinter.
In 1966 Ned Williams was elected to the Queensland Turf Club committee. He chaired the QTC from 1980 to 1991, a challenging period when the club was still the principal ruling body for racing in southern Queensland. He represented Australia at the Asian Racing Conference and the International Racing Conference.In his professional capacity Sir Edward Williams presided over the 1982 Australian royal commission into drugs and chaired the National Crimes Commission created in its aftermath. His sporting interests were broad. In 1980 he was knighted KBE for services to law and the community, upgraded to KCMG to recognise his role as Chairman of the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games. He was 1982 Australian of the Year and Commissioner General for Brisbane's Expo 88.
"Sir Edward had a wonderfully warm and friendly personality. He just loved racing and all the people involved. He treated everyone as an equal and he believed nobody was his master or his lesser." Bill Sexton
"Syd's organisational genius, his rapport with people, his flair for public relations, was always behind the amateurs wheel…" Keith Noud

This Wednesday the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee (RACCE) holds it first meeting to consider amendments to the Land Reform (Scotland) Bill at Stage 2. Once the Committee has completed Stage, its amended Bill will go forward to Stage 3 to be debated and further amended by a sitting of the whole Parliament.
This blog is a brief update on where we are with the one provision that has been the subject of much debate and where the RACCE themselves want the bill strengthened – namely the Part 3 provisions on transparency over who controls corporate entities that own land.
Proposals to make it incompetent for non-EU companies to own land and to make declarations of beneficial ownership of companies mandatory in the Land Register were tabled during the passage of the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 2012 but were rejected by the Scottish Government.
– The Land Reform Review Group recommended that such a measure be adopted to improve transparency in the ownership of land.
– The Land Reform Bill consultation in December 2014 sought views on the proposal and it was widely endorsed by consultees.
– The Land Reform Bill was published in June 2015 but did not contain provision for such a bar. Instead, it contained a mechanism whereby questions could be asked about the beneficial ownership of companies in tax havens and elsewhere but there is no obligation on such jurisdictions to co-operate.
– The RACCE Committee took evidence on the Bill and, in its Stage One report, recommended that the original proposal be introduced to the Bill.
– Scottish Ministers responded to the Stage One report by, once again, rejecting the non-EU proposal on the grounds (they argue) that it is outwith the competence of the Scottish Parliament.
– Scottish Ministers then last week announced that they would be tabling an amendment at Stage 3 [link to letter] that would create a public register of person who exert control of companies that one land. The amendment would merely be a regulation making power with the details of how such a register would operate being left to the next Parliament to draft and enact.
We now have three distinct proposals for the way ahead with regard to transparency – two amendments to be considered this Wednesday (see full text here) and one amendment to be tabled at Stage 3.
The first is a series of amendments in the name of Graeme Dey MSP (numbers. 29, 30 and 36) to the Bill that would require the beneficial owner or "controlling interest" in any corporate entity (not just non-EU ones) to declare their identity in a new section of the Land Register (Amendments 29 and 36 merely remove existing Sections 35 and 36. Amendment 30 is the substantive amendment). This is not a bar to non-EU entities but is a disclosure provision to be incorporated in the Land Register. Verification of the identity of the beneficial owner will still be tricky but appropriate penalties can act as a deterrent. This amendment has ben developed following considerable effort by Megan McInnes of Global Witness and Peter Peacock of Community land Scotland.
Patrick Harvie has tabled an amendment (Nos. 105 & 106) that reinstate the bar to non-EU corporate entities and fulfils the original recommendations of the Land Reform Review Group, the December 2014 consultation paper and the RACCE Stage one Report. Whilst some EU disclosure requirements are not fully transparent, bringing corporate entities "onshore" exposes them to the ongoing work across the EU to improve transparency through a variety of processes such as the requirements of the Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive that requires member states to establish registers of beneficial ownership of companies.
The Scottish Ministers will table an amendment at Stage 3 to replace Sections 35 and 36 and introduce a new regulation making power for Ministers to establish a "Register of Controlling Interests in Land". The details of this register, what it would contain, how it would operate and how compliance would be enforced would then be the subject of secondary legislation to be introduced in the next Parliament. It is thus hard to know what is involved with this proposal and there will be no time for any debate as it will be introduced at Stage 3. Critically, it is not clear whether Ministers are proposing yet another Register or whether they are open to the idea within Graeme Dey's amendments to make such disclosure part of the Land Register and thus visible on the title to ownership of the land.
I hope that RACCE will support both Graeme Dey and Patrick Harvie's amendments. They provide a "double lock" arrangement whereby tax havens are outlawed as jurisdictions within which land and property in Scotland can be owned AND those entities registered within the EU are obliged to publish details of the controlling interests on the face of Land Register titles.
If you wish to support these amendments, contact any member(s) of RACCE and tell them you support amendments 29, 30, 30, 105 and 106. Contact details are here.
If you've achieved disclosure of beneficial interests (whether under the Dey or SG amendments), then why do you need to ban non-EU corporates as well?
Question for Andy – if you had to choose between a register of beneficial interest or banning non-EU corporates, which would you choose and why?
The benefit to the man/woman on the street of the disclosure of beneficial interests?
The benefit to the man/woman in the street of OPACITY?
As residents of Scotland we must know as a matter of common sense (let alone the tax authorities knowing ) who owns what land. and the sooner the better. For the SG to propose their amendments without providing the indformation to support their proposed means of compliance is beyond stupidity and stinks of compremise. I see the purveyers of the straw man argument and the ' too poor stupid etc have aleady commented as scheduled.
Does Patrick Harvie's proposed bar to "non-EU" corporate entities owning Scottish land propose to allow only entities registered in full EU member states or in all countries that are associated with the EU in some way, such as through the EEA or other agreements (eg Iceland, Norway and Switzerland)?
Allowing secrecy for land registration is as insane as allowing secrecy for vehicle registration.
How then is anyone to know that you're insured or taxed or licenced?
The only reason to continue the current regime is that someone somewhere is getting a bung to make sure it stays that way.
and domain and by tax status in this country.
what about the Seller who would be then delayed in getting the price for the sale of their eg house / hotel/ farm etc ?
I dont see any real right to buy with teeth yet.
Thats the only measure that will put the lairds back in their box.

Glenn Beck: Media blown away by Obama
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/v/_Q2WRNiQFf4&hl=en&fs=1 expand=1]
MSNBC's embarrassing convention coverage...
GLENN: From Radio City in Midtown Manhattan, third most listened to show in all of America. Hello, you sick twisted freak. Welcome to the program. We have to I have to play the audio from MSNBC last night. You want to talk about playing to the crowd, listen to Keith Olbermann last night after Barack Obama walks off the stage. Listen to the crowd around the MSNBC booth and listen to his listen to his obnoxious, elitist, "Oh, let me quote some Shakespeare" kind of attitude. It's just nauseating. Here it is.
OLBERMANN: Take pride that this nation can produce men as speakers such as that.
GLENN: Stop just a second. Stu and Dan, Stu and Dan, you guys used to watch him on sports, right?
STU: Oh, yeah.
GLENN: Did you like him? Was he good at sports?
STU: He was okay. He wasn't one of my favorite sports center anchor but he was still good. Very sarcastic.
GLENN: When did he become this, "If you support him or you do not, you must recognize that someone like this can be produced from this great nation of ours.
DAN: This has to be a gradual decline because I remember actually being sort of cool because him and Dan Patrick were like the first two, like, sports center guys that made it fun and did all the cool little witty commentaries in between and I thought it was cool then but I don't know what happened.
GLENN: I mean, all of a sudden he is is he becoming more and more pretentious?
STU: Oh, God, it's an unending cycle. He is a perpetual motion machine as far as that goes.
GLENN: I mean, he is just becoming more and more I expect him to be I expect him to be, within a week, wearing robes and always clutching books. You know what I mean?
STU: Well, he is covering
GLENN: He's like, "Let me look it up in this novel that I was reading last night."
STU: Well, he was covering speeches given at Greek temples. So I mean, he is on his way.
GLENN: So it's there. So okay, go ahead.
OLBERMANN: That this nation can produce men as speakers such as that.
GLENN: Such as that.
OLBERMANN: For 42 minutes, not a sour note and spell binding throughout, in a way usually reserved for the creations of fiction.
GLENN: Oh.
OLBERMANN: An extraordinary political statement, almost a fully realized tough, crisp, insistent speech.
GLENN: Stop, stop! I can't take it! I mean, who, who speaks like this? First of all, who makes sure that every letter is enunciated correctly? Who speaks like this? I mean, I'm you know what? I want old tape on Keith Olbermann. Was he speaking like this when he was like, "And the blue dress got stains all over it." Now all of a sudden he is exact in the English language. Arghhh. Does it make your skin crawl, does anybody is it just me? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Am I nitpicking? Go ahead, Dan.
OLBERMANN: In the tone and in the sense of cutting through the clutter, akin to the words that were given to the fictional title character in an Aaron sore kin film "The American President," only this "Cut the crap" moment is not fiction. This is the real thing out here.
GLENN: Listen. Listen to the crowd.
[ Cheers and Applause ]
GLENN: And they're pausing for it.
OLBERMANN: I'd love to find something to criticize about it. You got anything?
MATTHEWS: No.
GLENN: No! This is news coverage! This is news coverage! It's not like me, I'm on television, I'll tell you right up front: I'm a conservative; I hate this son of a bitch. I mean, I'll say things like that. This is news coverage! You've got to be kidding me! You've got to be kidding me. Look, just admit it. Just admit it. I will suck the pimple pus out of any pimple that he might have on his cheek. I'll do it. I mean, admit it! Oh. Instead, "I am a journalist, and I will give you the fair analysis of how much I love this man and you should, too. And by the way, for those critics of this show who would say that I would suck the pimple pus out of any pimple that he might have, off of his cheek, I of course would not suck the pimple pus out of his pimples that he might have on his cheek because this man is perfect." Agrhhh! All right. What was Chris Matthews saying?
OLBERMANN: Got anything?
MATTHEWS: No. You know, I've been criticized for saying he inspires me and to hell with my critics.
GLENN: I'd like to suck the pimple pus off his cheek, too, Keith. Jeez. You know what? Can I just say I think it's time for people to be honest. Look, I think Barack Obama is a dangerous, dangerous man. He is not qualified. He is a Marxist. That is my opinion. You don't agree with it, that's fine. But I'm going to tell you that right up front. I'm a conservative. I look at the Constitution differently than this man does. That's fine. Let's just be honest. I'll tell you when I'm on my TV show the same thing, and I'll tell you that I'm a conservative. These clowns on MSNBC, how are they getting away with it? How are they getting away with it? I have to tell you I'm a pariah. I walk around news people, I'm a pariah. I don't do any of that I don't do any of that. I would never do that, never. I think we should just change the advertising for MSNBC. I think we should just change it. I bet Keith Olbermann would call them an advert, I think we should change the adverts maybe to something like this.
VOICE: Tonight on NBC it's a complete recap of the Democratic National Convention. At 7:00 p.m. Chris Matthews fights back tears of joy as he evaluates the Democrats' leg tingling orgasm inducing pitch perfect speeches. Then at 8:00 p.m., liberal blogger Media Matters types words into Keith Olbermann's TelePrompTer that praise the Democrats' speeches. But Keith takes it a step further and tries to make love to the video monitor, replaying Obama's speech. Then at 9:00 p.m., it's MSNBC's newest hire, a liberal radio talk host with a resume chockful of bankrupting radio networks. And don't miss our coverage of the Republican national convention, as we put the bow tie back on Tucker Carlson and send him to Minneapolis in the Oscar Mayer Weiner truck. MSNBC, the home of journalism.
(Barack Obama music).
GLENN: Now, I don't know if you've heard this, but they are actually, Barack Obama, his campaign is confronting WGN radio. You tell me this is a group of people that understand free speech. The Obama campaign has organized its supporters to confront WGN in Chicago for having a critic of Barack Obama on the air. This is according to Obama's campaign. They wrote in an e mail to their supporters, WGN radio is giving right wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fearmongering, terrorist smears. He is currently scheduled to spend two solid hour blocks from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. pushing lies, distortions and manipulations about Barack and University of Illinois professor William Ayers. Kurtz, a conservative writer recently wrote an article for the National Review that looked at bow automatic a's ties to Ayers, yada, yada, yada, yada. Tell GN that by providing airtime with Kurtz, they are legit might have gone attacks from a smear merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse. It's absolutely unacceptable that WGN would give a slimy character assassination like Kurtz a slimy character assassin like Kurtz time for his divisive, destructive ranting on our public airways. Keyword: Public airwaves. At the very least they should offer sane, honest rebuttal to every one of Kurtz's lies. Amazing to me that they used the word "Public airwaves" because, gang, that is what's coming. This is what the this is what the campaign is doing. I'm making you a promise that if Barack Obama and congress is controlled by the left, voices like mine will be gone. Voices like mine. There is and you know what? I'm not all I'm not convinced that somebody like John McCain wouldn't reach over to the left if he were President and try to do it himself because we ain't doing him any favors, either. And I could see I mean, the man who gave us the McCain/Feingold, the biggest damage to the First Amendment, he's done more damage to free speech than any other single man alive, I believe, John McCain. I don't trust that he's not going to take away your voice and my voice as well, whether that be on radio, public airwaves or on the Internet. You know what, Stu? Do you know anything hang on. Give me the close of the Barack Obama, please.
PROOF the World Economic Forum wants you eating... BUGS!
EasyBuy4u, PeopleImages, TeoLazarev | Getty Images
As the World Economic Forum continues to meet in Davos about building a more "sustainable" future, Glenn's warning on a seemingly outlandish sustainability goal is becoming reality: eating bugs!
In its 2023 Global Risks Report, the World Economic Forum called for the "transition to net-zero, nature-positive food" to fight "food insecurity." In other words, the WEF imagines a future with minimal meat and maximum "zero-emissions food"—like bugs—as consumers' main source of protein. This is a part of "the Great Reset," the agenda proposed by the World Economic Forum in 2020, urging leaders to take advantage of the COVID-19 crisis to restructure the "world order" to bring about a leftist Utopia.
SHOP: Trigger leftists and amuse your friends with 'Eat Ze Bugs' socks (while supplies last)
Major news outlets like the BBC have promoted insect farms as a sustainable food source to "reduce the reliance on everyday meat eating."
Courtesy of the BBC
So what's the big concern about eating bugs? As the video points out, many cultures throughout the world have been eating insects for centuries—many consider them a delicacy! The issue with the WEF's push for insects isn't merely the option to eat bugs. If someone wants to munch on some grasshoppers, nothing is stopping them! The major concern is the way in which the WEF wants to mandate insect consumption, and, consequentially, destroy the beef industry.
According to the same 2023 Risk Report, the WEF calls for "radical policy measures" to bring about the food transition to zero-net-emissions food, like insects. This means imposing such a burden on the dairy and cattle industries that it renders them impossible to function, paving the way for a new insect industry.
In the Netherlands, the EU's largest food exporter, the government is forcing the farmers to sell their land to the state unless they reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer used. However, without nitrogen fertilizer, it is nearly impossible for the farmers to produce enough food to feed the nation, not to mention turn a profit. Moreover, without nitrogen fertilizer, it will be impossible for cattle farmers to produce enough food to feed their cows. This is an impossible burden for farmers to bear, and they often capitulate and sell their land to the government, paving the way for a burgeoning insect industry. Is it any coincidence the EU is pushing for insects as a means of "food sufficiency" and combatting climate change?
If you think eating insects is a novel issue from across the pond, think again. There is a growing push for a "beef tax" in the U.S. to disincentivize beef consumption and incentivize alternative "sustainable" protein sources...like bugs. According to 2021, data, U.S. beef is a 79-billion-dollar-per-year industry, employing million across the U.S.'s 700,000 cattle farms. These stats don't even include the U.S.'s dairy industry. If the global environmentalists have their way, this major U.S. industry will be wiped out, wreaking havoc on our economy. Yet this government control over the "everyday person's" consumption is all too tantalizing.
As the World Economic Forum convenes in Davos to discuss how to achieve their "sustainable utopia," Glenn continues to advocate for the free market and the ability to choose our own consumer goods, rather than giving global elites the power to consolidate and mandate their "approved goods" for widespread consumption. Though consuming insects may seem like an outlandish idea that has no impact on our daily lives, it is a part of a larger movement to control our way of life to achieve a more sustainable future, threatening both our economy and our basic freedoms.

Home » Stotesbury Mansion
A Philadelphia landmark, the Stotesbury Mansion is registered on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built in 1870 by architect Wilson Eyre, Jr. who had been commissioned by Thomas McKean to build a spectacular home for his son, Henry McKean. In 1890, Edward T. Stotesbury purchased the home as an addition to his adjoining residence. At the time of purchase, the press heralded it as the largest and grandest townhouse in all of the East Coast. In 1914, Mr. Stotesbury imported a Georgian ballroom from England, installing crystal Louis XV period chandeliers, a 14th century Italian marble fireplace, gold ceiling panels, the Beauvais tapestry, and marble Corinthian columns. While the Philopatrian Club purchased the property in 1922, it has retained the Stotesbury name and in 1992 began hosting outside events, including concerts, meetings, and weddings.
The Stotesbury Mansion has limited accessibility for persons who have difficulties climbing stairs. Please call our staff with any questions - 215.569.8080.

MN Impact: U of M Researchers Look at Ag R&D Spending
The amount, orientation, and effectiveness of investments in research and development (R&D) shape our technological futures, but the processes play out over long-periods of time and require long-run perspective that takes into account all-dimensions of food and agriculture productivity.
Applied economic researchers at the University were interested in how the geographical distribution of food and agricultural R&D is changing. To track shifts on where R&D spending occurs worldwide, they revised and updated datasets maintained by the University of Minnesota's International Science and Technology Practice and Policy Center. They also pooled data from government and international agencies and private firms. In all, the update took six years, and involved more than 60 collaborators at national and international statistical and scientific agencies.
Their analysis of 50 years of data from across the globe revealed that we are in the midst of a historic transition--the governments of middle-income nations are investing more than those of high-income ones for the first time in modern history. Additionally, the study revealed the majority of food and agricultural R&D is now being done by private firms rather than government institutions and public universities. Today's R&D investment decisions will cast shadows forward to 2050 and beyond, making the trends being uncovered now significant for the future of food production. As population numbers continue to sore, it will be especially important to ensure that R&D advances are shared with low-income countries.

Great brands aren't built on external efforts only. Yet many organizations believe brand ownership begins and ends in the marketing and communications department. How do we bridge the gap between external communications and meaningful internal employee engagement? Brands that have the power to change the world do so by first engaging their employees throughout the entire organization.
Interbrand is launching a new study to closely examine the relationship between marketing and human resources departments inside Canada's most well respected companies. The study will uncover how the principles and beliefs of a brand are brought to life through internal employee engagement, and will reveal how Canadian companies can more powerfully integrate marketing and HR efforts to deliver a fully aligned - and world-changing - brand experience.
Join fellow marketers for a lively discussion at an exclusive and interactive Toronto Chapter American Marketing Association networking event in the evening of Tuesday, June 25 at the Spoke Club where Alfred DuPuy, Managing Director, Interbrand Canada and Nicholas Lakas, Director, Strategy, Interbrand Canada will share the exciting results of this study.

Singapore ratifies UNCRPD
Asia-Pacific, July 22 2013
SINGAPORE: Singapore has ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCPRD). The Convention will come into effect for Singapore on 18 August 2013.
This significant milestone is made possible through the strong 3P (People, Public, Private) collaboration under the Enabling Masterplan. The Masterplan charts the roadmap for Singapore towards an inclusive society where persons with disabilities are empowered to contribute to society.Singapore first signed the Convention in November 2012 to signal our intent to accede to the Convention. Upon ratification, Singapore joins 132 other countries which have committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities are treated equally with dignity and respect. Please refer to Annexes A and B for more information.
Speaking at the Building Construction Authority's Launch of the Universal Design Exhibition today, Acting Minister for Social and Family Development, Mr Chan Chun Sing said, "The ratification of the Convention would not have been possible without the collaborative effort of the various stakeholders. I am confident that together, we can progressively realise the vision of an inclusive society through the Enabling Masterplan."
Ms Judy Wee, Vice-President of the Disabled People's Association and member of the Enabling Masterplan Implementation Committee (EMIC) said, "Ratifying the Convention is a right step towards building an inclusive society. We need to continue our efforts to remove all physical and attitudinal barriers. We look forward to the day when everyone- including persons with disabilities are included in all aspects of life in our community. "
The people, public and private sector collaboration will continue to drive the progress made under the Enabling Masterplan.


Dance starts 16 counts into music, approx. 13secs. Finish song on count 9 turning left to the front wall.
- Dancers say all the time if they love the music ,chances are that they will love the dance.For me as a teacher this was weird because when I first saw this dance in the line up I immediately discarded it because I, did'nt hate this song, but it did nothing for me for years.
everything about this dance appeals to me .I will teach it tomorrow and await the reaction from the gang.
- This is one of my favourite Elton John songs. Now I can dance and sing to my heart's content. Thank you Simon for choosing this beautiful piece of music!

The Idol's Eye is the largest cut blue diamond in the world and has been recorded as such since the mid 19th century. Romantic stories often get attached to prestigious or legendary diamonds and the name the Idol's Eye derives from the legend that it was torn from the eye of a statue of a Hindu deity venerated in a temple in India – a rumour that has never been substantiated.

Once he completes the four-year program, he plans to lead an evangelism meeting in his home country of the Dominican Republic.
At 22 years old, Ismar Mendez, a member of the Easton (Md.) Mahanaim church, was probably the youngest Master Guide. He also sees Pathfinders as an opportunity for evangelism. "I want to bring people to Jesus," he said. He and his co-director Mercedes Gomez, already have a club of eight Pathfinders.
That afternoon pastors Martho Luhan, José Rosario, Delores Orellana, Leandro Perez and Roberto Reyes received certificates of ministry that authorized them to perform pastoral services in the Allegheny East Conference. Orellana serves as the Women's Ministries leader for the conference's Hispanic Ministries.
Of the 18 people baptized on Sabbath, Luis Pacheco had no plans to be one of them. Although his wife, Wendy, was a member of the Rehoboth Spanish church in Reading, Pa., he only started attending when Miguel Martinez offered to take him. Pacheco thought Martinez was joking and went along. However, after Martinez brought him, he started attending regularly. On Sabbath Martinez offered to walk with him to the baptismal pool.
With new members also come new churches. Escalante recognized the five new congregations that joined the conference this year. He presented each group leader with a laptop and a registration book and encouraged them to use the laptop for evangelism.

Q: How to remove parent array index from array I want to remove parent array index in array.
Following is my array.
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (

                )

        )

)

And I want like this way..
Array(
     [0] => Array
            (
                [id] => 296
                [username] => David0123

        )
)

I used following script for it but not work.
$myMainArray = json_decode(json_encode($allEscorts),true);
$i=0;
foreach( array_values($myMainArray) as $k=> $val){
            echo $val[$i]['id'];
            $i++;
}

I want to display data each element but first i have to remove parent array indexes.

A: You can use array_map to pull values up one level
$myMainArray = json_decode(json_encode($allEscorts),true);

$myMainArray = array_map(function($el) {
    return $el[0];
}, $myMainArray);

A: You should check if the first array could be generate as you wish.
If not you can use array_map to get the first index from the inner-array.
for example:
$result = array_map(function($item){
            return $item[0]; // always return the first array-index
        }, $first_array);

Q: How do I solve the quintic $n^5-m^4n+\frac{P}{2m}=0$ for $n$?
I want to solve the following equation for $n$ in terms of $P$ and $m$.
  $$n^5-m^4n+\frac{P}{2m}=0$$

I've bought and read many books, including "Beyond The Quartic Equation" but I've either missed something or do not have enough background or they said,  'such-and-such is used' but did not show how to use such-and-such to solve what I gather is a Bring-Jerrard quintic equation.
I'm just a forklift mechanic 40 years removed from academia with a math hobby. I've been writing a math paper on Pythagorean triples for about $10$ years and, with help, I thought I was almost done with, "On Finding Pythagorean Triples." Then, I thought of a new way to find "Triples On Demand", i.e. how to find a Pythagorean triple, if it exists, given only the product $(P)$ of A,B,C. Using Euclid's formula:
$$A=m^2-n^2\qquad B=2mn\qquad C=m^2+n^2$$
the product is $2m^5n-2mn^5=P$. The best I've been able to understand is that the first equation above is in Bring-Jerrard form. The only thing I can add is that $P$ is a multiple of $60$ such as $60, 480, 780$,etc.  and  $m$ will be one of a range of values to test where $\lfloor\sqrt[6]{P}\rfloor\le m\le \lceil\sqrt[5]{P}\space\rceil$.

*

*How do I find the group and know if it is solvable?

*How does symmetry and/or permutations apply to this equation if at all?

*How does this equation correspond to an icosahedron?

*Is there a trig approach like the one here for a cubic equation?
  $$mn^3-m^3n+D=0$$

Almost any approach would be appreciated. I have so much to learn but none of the answers or comments have been useful so far – the approaches have been self-referential. How do I solve this quintic for $n$ if $P$ and $m$ are known?
Update: I changed an $f$ in the OP to a $P$ so don't be confused by some of the comments.
Also, I'm starting a bounty but not a large one for fear it will be wasted on the less-than-useful answers that have been upvoted already. Hurry, if you have an answer. I'd prefer to award the bounty rather than have it given away by an algorithm.
A comment mentioned I should be more specific about what I want to do. I'm looking for inputs to Euclid's formula (shown above) and which we define here as $F(m,n)$ ––note capitol F. I want one-to-five functions $n_x=f_x(P,m )$ such that, given a number like $4200$ and, knowing
$$\lfloor\sqrt[6]{4200}\rfloor=4\le m\le \lceil\sqrt[5]{4200}\space\rceil=6$$
I can discover $$f(4200,4)=3\Rightarrow F(4,3)=(7,24,25)\qquad f(4200,5)\notin\mathbb{N}\qquad f(4200,6)\notin\mathbb{N}$$
If an integer were not found for any of the $[5]$ solutions in the specified range of $m$-values, then we would know that no Pythagorean triple exists for that value of $P=A\times B\times C$.
Now, I'm told, specific cases are needed before we can find a group. Here are the smallest sample equation values and the "correct" solution of $f(P,m)=n$ for each.
$$n^5-16n+15=0\rightarrow f(60,2)=1\quad
n^5-81n+80=0\rightarrow f(480,3)=1\quad
n^5-81n+130=0\rightarrow f(780,3)=2\quad
n^5-256n+255=0\rightarrow f(2040,4)=1\quad
n^5-256n+480=0\rightarrow f(3840,4)=2\quad
n^5-256n+525=0\rightarrow f(4200,4)=3\quad
n^5-625n+624=0\rightarrow f(6240,5)=1\quad
n^5-625n+1218=0\rightarrow f(12180,5)=2\quad
n^5-625n+1476=0\rightarrow f(14760,5)=4\quad
n^5-1296n+1295=0\rightarrow f(15540,6)=1\quad
n^5-625n+1632=0\rightarrow f(16320,5)=3\quad
n^5-1296n+2560=0\rightarrow f(30720,6)=2\quad
n^5-2401n+2400=0\rightarrow f(33600,7)=1\quad
n^5-1296n+3355=0\rightarrow f(40260,6)=5\quad
n^5-1296n+3645=0\rightarrow f(43740,6)=3\quad
n^5-1296n+4160=0\rightarrow f(49920,6)=4\quad
n^5-4096n+4095=0\rightarrow f(65520,8)=1\quad$$
Are these sample equations enough to associate with a Galois group? Once we find the group, how do we proceed?

A: Solving a quintic is probably not the best idea for your problem.
Your numbers $m,n$ and $f$ are integers and so you should be using techniques for finding integer solutions.
For example, $2mn(m^2-n^2)(m^2+n^2)=f$ means that $m$, $n$, ... are all factors of the integer $f$.
(By the way, you seem to have $m>n$ at first and then $n>m$ later in your post.)
For your work, you may find it helpful to know of the following list of differences of coprime 4th powers https://oeis.org/A147858

A: I doubt that solving a quintic is the way to go.  Consider the congruent number problem, which asks if an integer can be the area of a right triangle with rational sides.  In your problem, the area will always be a congruent number.  If you read the article, you will notice first that the congruent number problem reduces to solving a cubic, and second that it is unsolved.
Of course, your problem is different.  You are requiring integral sides, not rational sides, and you are starting with the product of the sides, not the area.  Still, it seems to me that the two problems are somehow related, and the congruent number problem is unsolved, even though it involves a cubic rather than a quintic.
I don't think you are paying sufficient attention to the fact that you require a solution in integers.  I think the "number-theory" tag is more appropriate than any of the tags you have applied.
Here are some thoughts of the top of my head.  Suppose we are given the easiest case, $ABC=60$.  Now $60=2^2\cdot3\cdot5$, and we may assume that $A<B<C.$  We can test the various factors of $60$ as possible values for $C$.  For example, can $C=4$?  Then $B\leq3$ so $A\leq2$ and $ABC\leq2\cdot3\cdot4<60$, contradiction.  In general, we need $$(C-2)(C-1)C^2\geq F$$
Once we have chosen a possible value for $C$, we have the equations $$\begin{align}
A^2+B^2 &= C^2\tag1\\
AB &= \frac{F}{C}\tag2
\end{align}$$
so that $$(A+B)^2=C^2+\frac{2F}{C}$$
If the right-hand side is a perfect square, we can solve for $A+B$ and eliminate $B$ from $(2)$.
So, if $F$ is small enough to factor, there's an easy way to test $F$, but I think it will be hard to find a formula that says, "An $F$ of one of these forms is acceptable, and an $F$ of any other form is not."
I know that this is really more of a comment than an answer, but it's too long for a comment box.

A: $\color{green}{\textbf{Elaborated version (07.02.20).}}$
The issue Diophantine task is presented in the form of quintic over $2D$ set of pairs $(m,n).$
At the same time, from the quihtic should
$$P = ABC,\tag{i1}$$
where
$$A^2+B^2=C^2,\tag{i2}$$
i.e $(A,B,C)$ is a Pythagorean triple.
If the quintic solution $(m,n)$ exists, then the triple $(A_{mn},B_{mn},C_{mn}),$
where
$$A_{mn}=m^2-n^2,\quad B_{mn}=2mn,\quad C_{mn}=m^2+n^2\tag{i3}$$
should belong to the set of the solutions of the Diophantine task $(i1)-(i2).$
This possibility was pointed in OP. Let us apply it.

The approach, proposed below, uses constraints only for unknown $C.$ Then for each possible value of $C$ from $(i1)-(i2)$ calculates the solution triple $(A,B,C).$
  If such solution exists, then the solution $(m,n)$ of $(i3)$ is the solution of the given quintic.

Calculations of the pair $(m,n),$ which correspond to the certain solution of $(i1)-(i2),$ are not hard.
For example, if $P=2\,88987\,09840,$ then there are $48$ possible values of $C$ before testing of the required interval and $7$ values after the testing, and only the single value leads to the valid pair $(A,B)$ and to the valid quintic root $(m,n)$.
So the proposed approach looks preferable.
$\color{brown}{\textbf{Constraints.}}$
1.
Since $C^2 = A^2 + B^2$ and $A\not=B,$ then $C^2 > 2AB,$
$$C > \sqrt[\large3]{2P\large\mathstrut}.\tag1$$
Example: $A=21, B=20, C=29, P = 12180, \sqrt[3]{24360}\approx 28.988.$
2.
At the same time, $A^2B^2 = (C-k)^2(C^2-(C-k)^2),$
with the least value at $k=1.$
Then
$$A^4 B^4 = (C-1)^4(2C-1)^2 = (C-1)^4 (4C^2-4C+1),$$
$$P^4 = A^4B^4C^4 = \dfrac1{256}(4C^2-4C)^4(4C^2-4C+1)\\[4pt]
> \dfrac1{256}\Big(4C^2-4C\Big)^5
= \dfrac1{256}\Big((2C-1)^2-1\Big)^5,$$
$$C < \dfrac12\left(\sqrt{(4P)^{^4/_5}+1\ }\ + 1\right).\tag2$$
Example: $A=35, B=12, C=37, P=15540, \dfrac12\left(\sqrt{62160^{0.8}+1}+1\right)\approx41.843.$
3.
Also, is known that $12\,|\,AB,$ then
$$C\,\bigg|\,\dfrac P{12}\tag3.$$
4.
Variable $C$ is the sum of two squares. Then should provide conditions, which correspond with the Fermat theorem of sums of two squares (I've used Russian version of the book Harold M. Edwards. Fermat Last Theorem, Schpringer 1977.)
The number is the sum of two squares, if and only if it is

*

*a square, or

*a prime $p$, wherein $p=4t+1,\, t\in\mathbb N,$ or

*$2,$ or

*the production of the such numbers.
Therefore, the primary filtration of the possible values of $C$ can be based on the  constraints in the form of

\begin{cases}
C\in\left[\left\lceil\sqrt[3]{2P\large\mathstrut}\LARGE\mathstrut\right\rceil,
\left\lfloor\dfrac12\left(\sqrt{(4P)^{^4/_5}+1\ }\ + 1\right)\right\rfloor\right]\\[4pt]
C\,\bigg|\,\dfrac P{12}\\[4pt]
C = 2^i s^{2j} \prod\limits_{k=0}^f (4t_k+1)\\[4pt]
(i,j,f)\in \mathbb Z_+^3\\[4pt]
s-2\in\mathbb N,\ \{t_k\} \in \mathbb Z_+^f.\tag4
\end{cases}

$\color{brown}{\textbf{Secondary filtration and the quintic solution calculations.}}$
1.
From $(i1)-(i2)$ should
\begin{cases}
C^2+\dfrac{2P}C = S^2\\[4pt]
C^2-\dfrac{2P}C = D^2\\[4pt]
\dbinom AB \in \left\{\dfrac12\dbinom{S+D}{S-D},\dfrac12\dbinom{S-D}{S+D}\right\}
\\[4pt]
(A,B,S,D)\in\mathbb N^4\tag5
\end{cases}
(secondary filtration).
Easily to see, that $(5)$ has two solutions or nothing.
2.
If the Diophantine system $(5)$ has solution $(A,B,C)$ and $(A_{mn},B_{mn},C_{mn}) = (A,B,C),$ then from $(i3)$ should
\begin{cases}
2m^2 = C+A\\
2mn = B.\tag6
\end{cases}
3.
$(4)-(6)$ define all possible solutions of the given quintic.
$\color{brown}{\mathbf{Example\ P=60.}}$
Equation $(4.3)$ is $C\,|\,5,$
with the single solution $\color{brown}{\mathbf{C=5}}$ in the form of $4\cdot 1+1.$
Required interval is $[5,5].$
Then from $(5-6)$ follows
\begin{cases}
\{S^2,D^2\} = 25\pm24\in\{7^2,1^2\}\\
\color{brown}{\mathbf{\dbinom AB = \dbinom {3}{4}}}\\
2m^2 = 5+3\\
2mn = 4,
\end{cases}
with the solution over $\mathbb N$ of the quintic $\color{brown}{\mathbf{m = 2,\ n = 1}}.$
$\color{brown}{\mathbf{Example\ P=480.}}$
Equation $(4.3)$ is $C\,|\,40.$
Required interval is $[10,10].$
The single solution is $\color{brown}{\mathbf{C=10}}$ in the form of $2(4\cdot 1+1).$
Then from $(5-6)$ follows
\begin{cases}
\{S^2,D^2\} = 100\pm96\in\{14^2,2^2\}\\
\color{brown}{\mathbf{\dbinom AB = \dbinom {8}{6}}}\\
2m^2 = 10+8\\
2mn = 6,
\end{cases}
with the solution over $\mathbb N$ of the quintic $\color{brown}{\mathbf{m = 3,\ n = 1}}.$
$\color{brown}{\mathbf{Example\ P=780.}}$
Equation $(4.3)$ is $C\,|\,65.$
Required interval is $[12,13].$
The single solution is $\color{brown}{\mathbf{C=13}}$ in the form of $4\cdot3+1.$
Then from $(5-6)$ follows
\begin{cases}
\{S^2,D^2\} = 169\pm120\in\{17^2,7^2\}\\
\color{brown}{\mathbf{\dbinom AB = \dbinom {5}{12}}}\\
2m^2 = 13+5\\
2mn = 12,
\end{cases}
with the solution over $\mathbb N$ of the quintic $\color{brown}{\mathbf{m = 3,\ n = 2}}.$
$\color{brown}{\mathbf{Example\ P=2040.}}$
Equation $(4.3)$ is $C\,|\,170.$
Required interval is $[16,18].$
The single solution is $\color{brown}{\mathbf{C=17}}$ in the form of $4\cdot4+1.$
Then from $(5-6)$ follows
\begin{cases}
\{S^2,D^2\} = 289\pm240\in\{23^2,7^2\}\\
\color{brown}{\mathbf{\dbinom AB = \dbinom {15}{8}}}\\
2m^2 = 15+17\\
2mn = 8,
\end{cases}
with the solution over $\mathbb N$ of the quintic $\color{brown}{\mathbf{m = 4,\ n = 1}}.$
$\color{brown}{\mathbf{Example\ P=4200.}}$
Equation $(4.3)$ is $C\,|\,350.$
Required interval is $[21,25].$
The single solution is $\color{brown}{\mathbf{C=25}}$ in the form of $5^2 = 4\cdot6+1.$
Then from $(5-6)$ follows
\begin{cases}
\{S^2,D^2\} = 625\pm336\in\{31^2,17^2\}\\
\color{brown}{\mathbf{\dbinom AB = \dbinom {7}{24}}}\\
2m^2 = 25+7\\
2mn = 24,
\end{cases}
with the solution over $\mathbb N$ of the quintic $\color{brown}{\mathbf{m = 4,\ n = 3}}.$
$\color{brown}{\mathbf{Example\ P = 2\,88987\,09840.}}$
Required interval is $[3867,13309]$
Equation $(4.3)$ is $C\,|\, 24082\,25820 = 4\cdot3\cdot5\cdot7\cdot11\cdot13\cdot101\cdot397.$
The valid form of $C$ is
$$C = 2^i 5^{a-1} 13^{b-1} 101^{c-1} 397^{d-1},$$
where
$$i \in \{0,1,2\},\quad (a,b,c,d) \in \{1,2\}^4$$
(totally, $48$ valid productions).
Belong to the required interval
$$\color{blue}{\mathbf{C\in\{3970 = 2\cdot5\cdot 397, 5252=4\cdot13\cdot101, 5161=13\cdot397, 6565=5\cdot13\cdot101, {7940=4\cdot5\cdot3}97, 10322=2\cdot13\cdot397, 13130=2\cdot5\cdot13\cdot101\}}}$$
(see also Wolfram Alpha calculations factor1, factor2, factor4).

Therefore, only seven possible values of C belong to the required interval.

If $C=3970,$ then from $(5-6)$
$$\{S^2,D^2\} = 3970^2\pm\dfrac{5\,77974\,19680}{3970},
\{S,D\}\in\varnothing.$$
If $C=5252,$ then from $(5-6)$
$$\{S^2,D^2\} = 5252^2\pm\dfrac{5\,77974\,19680}{5252},
\{S,D\}\in\varnothing.$$
If $\color{brown}{\mathbf{C=5161}},$ then from $(5-6)$ follows
\begin{cases}
\{S^2,D^2\} = 5161^2\pm\dfrac{5\,77974\,19680}{5161}\in\{6151^2,3929^2\}\\
\color{brown}{\mathbf{\dbinom AB = \dbinom {1111}{5040}}}\\
2m^2 = 5161+1111\\
2mn = 5040,
\end{cases}
with the solution over $\mathbb N$ of the quintic $\color{brown}{\mathbf{m = 56,\ n = 45}}.$
If $C=6565,$ then from $(5-6)$
$$\{S^2,D^2\} = 6565^2\pm\dfrac{5\,77974\,19680}{6565},
\{S,D\}\in\varnothing.$$
If $C=7940,$ then from $(5-6)$
$$\{S^2,D^2\}= 7940^2\pm\dfrac{5\,77974\,19680}{7940},
\{S,D\}\in\varnothing.$$
If $C=10322,$ then from $(5-6)$
$$\{S^2,D^2\} = 10322^2\pm\dfrac{5\,77974\,19680}{10322},
\{S,D\}\in\varnothing.$$
If $C=13130,$ then from $(5-6)$
$$\{S^2,D^2\} = 13130^2\pm\dfrac{5\,77974\,19680}{13130},
\{S,D\}\in\varnothing.$$
Therefore, the single solution over $\mathbb N$ of the quintic is $\color{brown}{\mathbf{m = 56,\ n = 45}}.$

This example demonstrates high effectiveness of the proposed approach.

$\color{blue}{\textbf{Too long for a comment.}}$
1. If $\dfrac Q{60}$ has dividers of the six order, then previosly should be tested the value of $Q$ with the eliminated divider.
This approach can garantee that $\gcd(m,n)=1.$
2. Alternative form

$$\left(A+\dfrac{P}{AC}\right)^2 = C^2+\dfrac{2P}C$$

does not contain $B.$

A: Upon request from the OP, I'll convert my comment into an answer.
I don't know if you like this idea, but if you want to find positive integers $n$ such that $$n^5−m^4n+\frac{P}{2m}=0$$ then by the rational root theorem, every solution (if any) is a divisor of $\frac{P}{2m}$.
This reduces the search space considerably.
