Why Obamacare's '20 Million' Number Is Fake
By Brett Healy - January 17, 2017
ACA, Daily Signal, Obamacare, Obamacare Repeal
As the debate about how to repeal Obamacare heats up, no doubt we'll be hearing a lot about the "20 million" people who have health insurance coverage because of the law. The Daily Signal, however, breaks that number down and reveals it to be phony.
Keep this in mind the next time a liberal politician tries to pull at your heart strings as President Trump and Republicans start to dismantle the (un)Affordable Care Act.
From The Daily Signal:
Liberals are notorious for caring about "groups" of people, but when it gets down to individual persons, not so much. You're about to see this play out in spades as Democrats cry crocodile tears over the coming repeal of Obamacare.
You hear it over and over again: "This will be catastrophic for the 20 million people who were previously uninsured but now have coverage! You can't take away their health care!"
First of all, no one is talking about doing that. Any repeal legislation will have a transition period for those who got coverage through Obamacare to move to new plans. And second, they will have more choices and better options. Win. Win.
But liberals would rather focus on quantity, how many millions we've given something to, versus quality, what does that "gift" mean for individual people.
The Obama administration claims 20 million more Americans today have health care due to Obamacare. The reality is that when you look at the actual net gains over the past two years since the program was fully implemented, the number is 14 million, and of that, 11.8 million (84 percent) were people given the "gift" of Medicaid.
And new research shows that even fewer people will be left without insurance after the repeal of Obamacare. Numbers are still being crunched, but between statistics released by the Congressional Budget Office and one of the infamous architects of Obamacare, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Jonathan Gruber, it's estimated that anywhere from 2 to 7 million people now on Medicaid would have qualified for the program even without Obamacare.
That further discredits the administration's claim of 20 million more Americans having health insurance because of Obamacare.
Multiple studies have also shown that even those who are uninsured often have better outcomes than those with Medicaid. A University of Virginia study found that for eight different surgical procedures, Medicaid patients were more likely to die than privately insured or uninsured patients. They were also more likely to suffer complications.
And it is important to note that this study focused on procedures done from 2003-2007, prior to the geniuses in Washington deciding it was a good idea to put even more people on the already overburdened Medicaid system.
Additionally, despite what proponents of the law promised, there is little evidence to show that the use of emergency rooms, which have a higher level of medical errors, has decreased due to Obamacare.
Then there is this reality: While Obamacare has handed out millions of new Medicaid cards, that does not mean the recipients now have quality health care. In fact, it doesn't ensure they have health care at all. That's because increasing numbers of doctors aren't accepting Medicaid.
As a Louisiana woman told The New York Times, "My Medicaid card is useless for me right now. It's a useless piece of plastic. I can't find an orthopedic surgeon or a pain management doctor who will accept Medicaid."

We have 2000 registered users.
today the 2000st user has registered in this forum.
And yes: I'm aware that not all are active.
Lets at least virtually all toast on this occasion and say . Although not every user is active all the time, I see many "returning" after a, somtimes long, period of inactivity. I would say that the quality of Rocrail is such that, once "infected" with it, there is no letting go, the stays on.
Congratulations, let's see how long it takes for the next 2000. Maybe next summer. You did all an excellent job.
Congratulations at achieving 2000 members on this forum. It is a great achievement and a good sign, that RocRail is flying.
I'm very proud to be a very very small part of this great community.
Thats not a wonder Rob ! Rocrail is the best..so simple !
Well, I think it has something to do with the seasons and steps in building a layout.
In autumn and winter more users will work with it.
One thing that is also very important: the friendly users in this forum and the lot of help I can get here.


If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I have a huge love for candles - and I mean HUGE like Barbie loves Ken, or Kim Kardashian loves publicity - that kind of love. I just think they make a gorgeous addition to any setting, add a candle and you go from bland to grand.
That being said, I'd like to welcome you to the start of a new feature on the blog - #wickoftheweek. Basically I'm going to choose a different candle each week and tell you a bit about it. I'll aim to post these on a Wednesday but will let you know of any changes! I'm not going to lie guys, it's a chance for me to feed my obsession and take cute photos all in the name of providing a service to you!
The first one I'd like to talk about is one that was bought for me by my husband, he saw me drooling over admiring it and picked it up for me, it's the Bayliss & Harding Wild Blackberry and Apple candle.
The first thing that drew me was the packaging, the candle comes enclosed in a beautiful mulberry/plum coloured box which is unusual for a more affordable candle. Furthermore the box opens up from the bottom at the front, so it definitely gives the candle a more luxurious feel.
When you smell it at first unlit and in the box, it's definitely a sweet scent, it's a scent that draws me back to my childhood for some reason, it must be a sweet I had when I was wee, like blackcurrant lozenges. Sweet scents are not usually my thing, I'm definitely more attracted to a spicy, musky scent however I thought I'd give it a try and see what its like.
When you light the candle, it's incredible how the scent changes, it's like home baking! You honestly feel like you are in a large country kitchen with a warm apple pie in the oven - yummy!
With a burn time of 30 hours, it's sure to be a recurring scent in my house this Autumn.

This Cressi mask is called the "Big Eye Evolution" mask for a good reason: the revolutionary design gives you a better vision and the skirt is more comfortable than ever. The downward visibility has increased by 25% compared to earlier Cressi models. In the black mask, this is assisted by the fact that the black colour blocks out light coming in from the sides giving you clearer vision in the water.
A minimal internal volume using tempered glass designed with angled lens so that the mask can sit closer to your eyes and increase your field of vision. This low volume allows you to dive to several metres depth without worrying much about equalising. These lenses can also be replaced by prescription lenses of your preference.
The high-seal silicone skirt is soft and the design of the skirt allows the mask to have a point of contact with the face at a very open angle. The skirt also has various levels of rigidity to give effective sealing over the whole skirt. It is constructed of from a liquid seal, which is extremely comfortable and doesn't leave red pressure lines.
The head strap comes in three materials and is very narrow: invisible when wearing the mask.
The adjustable buckles are joined to the head strap with a plastic material which is strong yet malleable which allows it to flex under pressure making them very durable. The buckles use a flexible pivoting system designed to make adjusting your straps easier.

LED Work Light - 5-1/4" Square - 27W: Shown Powered By Van's Battery With Cigarette Lighter Power Socket Adapter (Sold Separately).
5" Square 27W Heavy Duty High Powered LED Work Light: On Showing Beam Pattern In Spot And Flood Options.
LED Work Light - 5-1/4" Square - 27W: Shown Installed On Tripod And Lighting Boats In Dry Dock.
This off-road LED work light is great for driving lights, daytime running lights, or fog lights on your truck, ATV, or UTV and can also be used for industrial lighting, marine lighting, and tractor lighting. The 5" square work light emits 1,400 raw lumens of cool white light. LEDs emit either a 30° or 60° beam pattern. The durable LED driving light is waterproof and shock resistant. A black-painted aluminum housing and acrylic lens protect internal components, and an integral heat sink allows LEDs to run cool, which leads to an incredibly long life span. The 19-watt light has an adjustable stainless steel mounting bracket as well as optional mounting tabs and operates within a wide 12-24V DC range. Lifetime warranty on all LED work lights.
I am a vehicle upfitter for fire, police, and EMS vehicles. I had a customer request scene lighting added to several of their vehicles, and requested a cheaper solution than some of the higher-end emergency vehicle lighting vendors. Dealing with SBL before, I quickly went to the web site to see what I could find. These lights at 2025 lumens with the 30 and 60 degree beam options fit the bill. I ended up going with the 60 degree beam angle and mounting them on the top sides of a SUV. They were fairly easy to work with, and had a couple different mounting options with the lights. I ended up just using the "U" bracket and tying into the luggage racks. Customer was well pleased with the amount of light output on these as they often spend a lot of time on scene at night that extra light is needed. Light seems very well made, and looks to be pretty waterproofed. My only wish is they gave a little more cable than about a 1' whip out of the end of the light.
We installed 4 WL-27W-S30 work lights on one of our forklifts a year ago. The first time I came down our drive at night and saw how bright they were I was impressed. Since then our drivers have asked to get these installed on four other pieces of equipment we use. I have not hesitated to purchase them. Working in a steel yard at night you need to be able to see well and with two lights facing front and two back we have had not problems.
Purchased 2 of these in 30 and 2 in 60. Using the 30 degree heads mounted to height adjustable poles on the front of a Rescue Dive boat. Very bright and well built. Love the different mounting options that come with. Pattern very tight and they throw light well. Testing durability in a fresh water marine environment. Confident they will hold up well. Also purchased the same lumen/degree head in round, pattern very close.
The 60 degree heads are being used as cargo/loading lights inside the bed/tailgate area of an old M35A2. They will light up an area very well at night when mounted 10ft off the ground and pointed down.

Q: Ubuntu server auto connect to any random 3G USB (netstick) I have a kiosk running on Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 which currently accepts a LAN cable as an internet source.
What I want to do is to let it receive internet also from a 3G USB (netstick). I started looking around the web for that and it seems that I need to know exactly which Internet provider is it and the modem. Unfortunately I can't know that since anyone may come and connect their own netstick. I was looking for a way to simply accept all netsticks regardless of the Internet provider etc.
Is it possible that whenever I connect a netstick to the computer it will be auto detected and I will have Internet connection while not knowing ahead of time what netstick I'm going to plug in?

The project objective is to develop the conceptual model that explains the enhanced methane emission at the shelf of the East Siberian Arctic Seas (ESAS). While results from mathematical modelling obtained under the preceding OSL-12-02 project suggest that thawing sub aquatic permafrost is not related to this process, observed enhanced fluxes of methane at selected locations on ESAS are yet to be explained by other mechanisms. In this project we shall explore the hypothesis, which suggests that observed methane venting is mostly bound to unfrozen bottom sediments surrounding fault zones and paleo river beds, while elsewhere on the inner ESAS shelf sediments remain frozen and impermeable for gases since the last glacial maximum. We shall check this hypothesis by collecting published geological and paleo data, including those on high resolution batimetry, analysis of genesis of the bottom sediment samples, and constructing the digital high resolution map of the fault zones and paleo river and lake beds at ESAS, which will be compared with locations of the hydrographic stations where enhanced methane fluxes have been observed. Our ultimate goal is to develop conceptual model that consistently explains the observed methane venting at ESAS in the context of changing climate and permafrost.

The Arctic Ocean is known to be very sensitive to environmental conditions. Its surface layer is a key component of the Arctic climate system, which constitutes the dynamical and thermodynamical link between the atmosphere and the underlying waters. It is obvious, that significant decreasing of the Arctic Ocean ice content over the recent years, as well as air temperature rising in the Arctic affect the state of the Arctic Ocean surface layer. A considerable increasing of the open water area in summer due to reduction of sea ice area would have led to an intensification of the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere, and as a result, to the changes of the thermohaline state of the Arctic Ocean surface layer.
Large anomalies of the thermohaline characteristics of the surface layer have been observed in recent years. The largest anomalies have been observed in the Canadian Basin, where significant freshening and warming of surface layer waters have occurred.
Due to substantial climatic changes recently occurred in the Arctic, there is a question about the scenarios for the Arctic region future. The purpose of this study is to develop a statistical model of interannual variability of surface layer salinity in winter in the Arctic Ocean and the Arctic seas and obtaining prognostic salinity fields for 2011-2013.
The project is dedicated to estimating to understanding the processes of the unique poor studied water objects of the estuary zone of rivers.
The main interest of the principal investigator is concentrating on the Lena River (East Siberia, Russia) as the biggest delta in the Arctic. The study is based on multiyear data from periodic literature and field data form regular Russian-German expeditions to the delta. The results have been showed different sources and role of different factors on formation of geochemical flow of the Lena River Delta. Concentrations of several dissolved and suspended substances from different water objects of the Delta (big and small delta channels, inflows from ice-complex and permafrost, lakes etc.) allow making first conclusions about a transformation of the geochemical flow from the top of the delta to the sea edge.
The proposal will includes results of previous investigation and OSL's projects and going to be the finalization of the problem decision. The main results of the project will be included in the PhD thesis of principal investigator. This proposal is dedicated to support the last year of PhD program of the author.
4. Linking microbial community features and biodegradability of organic matter in Siberian arctic and sub-arctic permafrost-affecred soils
Soils of high latitudes are of primary importance for the global carbon cycle. Given current circumstances of greenhouse gas-induced global warming, boreal and arctic regions are widely recognized as a critical component world resource, which by virtue of changing of a frozen level and a thermal regime of soils potentially becomes accessible to microbiological decomposition. However, the microbial communities as the drivers of carbon decomposition in Siberian permafrost-affected soils have been little studied so far. In this study we suppose to investigate the microbial community structure and activity of two Siberian regions: arctic (N 72°, E 126°) and sub-arctic (N 64°, E 100°) like representative areas of tundra and boreal forests. For detailed description of microbial communities structure we plan to use molecular-genetic methods and phylogenetic analysis. Basal respiration of soil microbial populations will be analyzed for assessment of heterotrophic respiration rates. This study comprises a comparison of geographically distant soil microbial communities in order to answer the question: how do the structure and activity of specific microbial populations depending on C-content and C\N ratio as well as temperature, freeze/thaw cycle and moisture conditions. The main goal of the project is to find out links between microbial community structure and activity and C/N composition of organic matter.
Main objective of the study will be to assess the relationship between environmental change and subfossil Cladocera (Crustacea: Bracnchiopoda) distribution in space and time and reconstruction of past environmental variables and past climate change with using Cladocera remains. Sub-fossil cladocerans and environmental variables from Northern Ural and Northern Yakutia will be used to extend the calibration data set using ordination techniques, namely Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA) and Canonical Correspondance Analysis (CCA) for investigating the key environmental factor that is related with climate change structuring cladoceran community composition. Our study is directed towards developing an empirical model based on the relationships between Cladocerans taxa and abiotic variables (e.g., water chemistry, climate variables, etc.), particularly in terms of species optima to a measured variable. This inference model can then be used to reconstruct past changes of the abiotic variable of interest.
The dominant organism in the benthic community off Taimyr Peninsula, the eastern Kara Sea, is a large soft-shelled foraminiferan with unexpectedly high biomasses of c. 40 g/m2. Utilizing the extensive environmental data obtained during the multidisciplinary expedition with RV Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, September 2011, we hope to understand which processes make this particular shallow area distinctive and how this unicellular organism sustains a high biomass in the oligotrophic Kara Sea.
The project addresses the fundamental scientific problem – the reconstruction of ice/icebergs conditions/circulation in the central Arctic for the Quaternary time based on a comprehensive study of large-sized (> 1 cm) rock fragments (dropstones) and accommodating sediments. Samples (523 stones) were mainly selected during Polarstern-2008 expedition (ARKXXIII/3) to the Mendeleev Ridge areas; additional stones were retrieved during Arctica-2000 and Polarstern-2011 (ARK-XXVI/3) expeditions to the northern Mendeleev Ridge. We are considering a detailed study of large-sized fragments as a new approach for solving problem of paleo-ice circulation. Earlier works were based on study of heavy&light minerals, clays, iron oxides but results were generally contradicted each other. The main goal of this project is to clarify a reliable source of dropstones and paleo-trajectory of the ice/icebergs during the last 500-600 thousand years. It is also important to resolve the issue of the geological structure of the basement: if rock-fragments were not delivered by ice (icebergs), then they have a local origin. These ("local") samples are extremely important, taking into account the general lack of direct geological information on the structure of the basement in the Arctic Ocean.
The German/Russian expedition KuramBio (Kurile-Kamchatka Biodiversity Study) onboard of the R/V Sonne (summer 2012) to the Kurile-Kamchatka Trench and adjacent abyssal plain aimed to investigate the biodiversity of the benthos. Peracarida (Isopoda) and Polychaeta were the dominant macrobenthic taxa in species richness (about a quarter of all species). The material of previous expeditions onboard the R/V Vityaz (1949-1966) to that area is stored mainly in the Zoological Museum of St. Petersburg.
For science and knowledge transfer between PhD students and their supervisors, exchange for progress is planned and our goals and objectives are:
- exchange material in the Otto-Schmidt-Laboratory (OSL),
- joint sorting and determination of polychaetes, isopods and cumaceans to genus level (OSL and later in the home institutions),
- identification of the collected species (OSL and later in the home institutions),
- description of at least one key species of polychaetes, isopods and cumaceans.
We hypothesize that natural transport and accumulation of the toxic heavy metals depend strongly on the environmental conditions, and thus climate-induced changes in the marine ecosystems may lead to significant alterations in their pathways and depositing.
The study targets on key abiotic and biotic components of the White Sea ecosystems in regard to their accumulation capacity of the toxic heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Pb, As, Zn, Cu, Hg, etc.) and to assess the natural pathways of their transport through the studied biogeochemical system, with special regard to the areas representing the pristine environment in Kandalaksha Bay, 66ºN 38ºE.
The study approaches in the first multidisciplinary investigation of mineral and organic (Corg, Norg) composition and heavy metals' concentrations in abiotic and biotic components in aerosols, snow, ice, freshwater (inflowing streams), suspended particulate matter, sediments, phyto- and zooplankton, macroalgae, key vertebrate (fish) and invertebrate (number of jellyfish, crustacean, mollusk, and echinoderm) species with special regard to the food web structure and matter fluxes.
The study will result as numerical assessing of the heavy metals' pathways and accumulation rates through the abiotic and biotic components of sub-Arctic ecosystem and developing the scheme of their natural transport and deposition in the number of publications.
The main goals of current proposal are: (i) to establish regional peculiarities in species composition and biomass of sea-ice algal communities and ice-edge phytoplankton in the Laptev Sea at the beginning of productive period in March-April 2012, and (ii) to reveal dynamics and time-scale of the spring sea-ice algae and phytoplankton bloom in the southern part of the Laptev Sea, adjacent to the Lena River Delta, and its dependence of environmental changes. Approximately 30 phytoplankton samples and 90 samples from sea-ice cores, collected during TRANSDRIFT XX expedition to the southern Laptev Sea between March 19 and April 24, 2012, we plan to study. We aim to carry out detail study of species composition and biomass of microalgae in 7 ice cores phytoplankton communities at 6 sites. Episodically repeated water and sea-ice sampling, and measurements of hydrographic and sea-ice parameters, which were carried out during TRANSDRIT XX expedition, will allow us to reveal development of spring phytoplankton bloom at the beginning of productive period in the frontal zones formed between the fresh river water plume and saline marine waters. Proposed researches are the contribution to the joint Russian-German multi-disciplinary project "Laptev Sea System: The Eurasian Shelf Seas in the Arctic's Changing Environment - Frontal Zones and Polynya Systems in the Laptev Sea".
Numerous tephra layers derived from highly explosive Kamchatka volcanic arc (northwest Pacific) are buried in various deposits on the Kamchatka Peninsula as well as in the adjacent seas and on Asian mainland as far as the Arctic coast. These layers directly link terrestrial and deep-sea stratigraphies permitting synchronizing and dating of major environmental changes. A goal of our interdisciplinary project is to geochemically fingerprint Quaternary tephra layers detected thus far in the northeastern Asia and correlate them to sources in Kamchatka and to marine cores in the northwest Pacific seas. Tephra samples will be characterized with the help of EMPA and single-shard LA-ICP-MS analysis of volcanic glass and minerals in GEOMAR; grainsize measurements, optical mineralogy and imaging of tephra particles will be performed in the OSL analytical lab. These data will be compared to our extensive database of tephra compositions from proximal volcanic deposits and marine cores around Kamchatka obtained during the KALMAR project. To extend our project into the Arctic seas we will explore the possibility of tephra presence in the Arctic sea cores. A complementary aspect of this study is that it will allow to access chronology and magnitude of the largest explosive eruptions in the Kamchatka arc.
Our project is aimed to detailed reconstruction of the plant cover evolution in the Laptev Sea hinterland linked to climatic oscillations in the Arctic during the Holocene through pollen record from the longest (844 cm) marine sediment core PS51/118-3 obtained from the eastern Laptev Sea continental slope. High-resolution AMS14C-dating showed that it covers the entire Holocene since about 11 cal. ka with almost 8 m of sediments accumulated during 11 to 9 cal. ka, thus allowing tracing the centennial-to decadal scale environmental changes during the early Holocene. By using this most continuous and adequately dated marine pollen record we intend to apply both BIOM and best modern analogue techniques for quantitative reconstruction of main plant formations (biomes) and variability of such climate parameters as annual precipitation, mean temperature of the warmest and the coldest month, heat and moisture indices and afterwards to compare the newly obtained results with previous pollen archives from the Laptev Sea shelf.
Fires in cold environment have both immediate and long-term impacts on the ecosystem due to their effects on surface energy, water balance, and underlying permafrost. The return period for wildfire is strongly influenced by current climate changes and human activities and is supposed to be significantly decreased in future.
Though many studies of the effects of fire on the soil moisture, ground thermal regime and landscape characteristics driving hydrological processes in cold regions have been well documented, insufficient efforts were made to implement that comprehension into development of approaches to numerically estimate and project the effects of fire on environmental systems in future.
The goal of the project would be the development of the approach to assess short- and long-term effects of forest fires on hydrological regime and its components in different permafrost environments of the Lena River basin. The investigation would be focused on effects of fire to the permafrost to quantify the post impacts of fire on (1) removing organic layer as an insulating material, (2) heat budget, (3) soil moisture characteristics, and (4) active layer dynamic. The evaluation of these agents will provide a better understanding of the relationship between burn severity and permafrost response and the effects on the hydrologic regime following wild fire.
The project would combine the application of physically-based hydrological modelling and analysis and implementation of remote sensing data and products (Due Permafrost project).
The project will logically continue the research conducted during the OSL Fellowships 2009–2011. It will be conducted by three young scientists, one completed PhD and two PhD students. The research would require collaboration and data exchange with the German colleagues, namely AWI and Jena University.
The project is devoted to reconstruction of the postglacial environmental history of the Laptev Sea continental margin based on high-resolution records of lithological characteristics, IRD, microfossils (benthic and planktic foraminifers, ostracods), and stable isotope composition of foraminifers. It is aimed to finalize analytical research of long sediment cores from the eastern Laptev Sea continental slope and to start investigation of multicores from the Laptev Sea continental margin and adjacent part of Eurasian basin obtained in 2012 during ARK27-3 expedition aboard RV Polarstern. One of the main tasks of the project is preparation of the paper dealing with interregional comparison of postglacial environmental changes in the western and eastern Laptev Sea continental margin inferred from existing lithological (IRD, authigenic concretions) and microfossil records of AMS14C-dated cores PS2458 and PS51/154. It will address such important issues as variability in iceberg production, shifts in the position of the seasonal drift ice margin; timing and character of Atlantic-derived water inflows, freshwater inputs due to meltwater and/or fluvial discharge.

An extra winter suit is a must for this time of year. Mikey knows all too well how painful it is to pull back on a freezing wet winter suit. Wintertime in New England comes with many benefits—Mikey DeTemple and I have found that uncrowded winter swells are one of them. When a Nor'easter kicks up on the radar, one of us is pretty quick to call the other to start laying some plans.
This particular storm was no different, aside from the fact that we already had a few feet of snow on the ground to start, which just added some excitement for Mikey's drive north from NYC to meet me at the Maine coast. While there were plenty of unknowns, as there are bound to be when dealing with winter weather, one thing was certain: once Mikey escaped NYC, he knew he wouldn't be fighting crowds in the Northland.
The shortened winter days mean waking up in the dark, shoveling out the truck, and loading it up all before the sun breaks the horizon. With seven-plus inches of snow on the ground, it takes a bit more time to get out to those untracked beaches and far off points. Luckily, Mikey has the truck for the job. I honestly think that for him, driving in that much snow out to some remote beach is as fun as the surf. With coffee made we headed down the road to get the first peek of offshore spray over the freshly plowed snow banks. This first glimpse always sets the tone for the day. Usually a quick morning surf in subfreezing temps ensues. Sessions only last an hour or so when it's this cold. You choose your waves wisely.
After a quick pause for late breakfast, a drive to some more remote and beautiful beaches was in order. The truck always reeks of the wetsuit, booties, and gloves set on the heaters trying to dry. An extra winter suit is a must for this time of year. Mikey knows all too well how painful it is to pull back on a freezing wet winter suit.
If we were lucky, by we reached our next spot by mid-afternoon, without getting buried in a snowbank. With the sun setting by 4:00 and the temps dropping rapidly thereafter, a quick afternoon session was on tap. I usually hovered around the truck at this point to have it running and warm when Mikey got out. No fun struggling out of six mils of rubber with frozen lobster claws.
All for the love of surfing in a beautiful place. Alone.

So whenever i open the main url the id's of the table should be replaced according to the main url

A: you can get the id parameter using global GET variable
$id = $_GET["id"]

then you can change the urls in the table according to it
$url = "http://anyurl/index.php?id=".$id."&abc=any"

Hope this will help you

A: If you want to replace the id with preg_replace in string then you can do like below:
<?php
$string = 'http://anyurl/index.php?id=4876&abc=any';
$new_string = preg_replace('/[0-9]+/', $_GET["id"], $string);
echo $new_string;
// Will display http://anyurl/index.php?id=3345&abc=any
?>

A: I know that it was asked years ago, but, probably, someone will find my solution helpful
So, I also offer to use preg_replace(), as Amit Gupta, but improve it for cases when you could have other numbers before ID value:
$url     = 'http://anyurl/index.php?foo=0713&id=4876&abc=any';
$new_id  = $_GET['id'];
// regex: catch 1 or more digits after 'id='
$new_url = preg_replace( '/id=(\d+)/', $new_id, $url );

If $_GET['id'] is 4920, for example, $new_url will be equal to http://anyurl/index.php?foo=0713&id=4920&abc=any


Here are a few of the indicators I came up with… let me know if you have any of your own. I tried to keep it humorous and a bit light since one of the best ways to break through any old pattern is to interrupt it with laughter and a change of attitude. I know this is a source of great pain to many, many shy men as it was to me at one time, so please take this as intended okay?
Even thinking about the woman of your dreams causes you to get a HUGE…………………………………………………………………………………..


Best Swimsuit for Tall Women. So just by market availability and process of elimination most young women wear two pieces at swimming venues. Best Swimsuit for Wider Hips. The two things definitely have nothing to do with each other. Best Swimsuit to Enhance Your Booty. Best Swimsuit for Plus-Size Figures. Best Swimsuit for Broad Shoulders.
This tummy tamer slims your midsection up to the bust line and offers full coverage in the rear. Best Swimsuit to Flaunt Your Shape. How can Brazilian girls wear bikini so comfortably? A one piece or a two piece. The loose, baby doll fit of the Tankini Swim Top by Mossimo will offer you comfort, while disguising any roly-poly problems. Do you want to know what I am wearing in the summer when I am at home outside in the sun or shade where no one can see me? Men wear swimming trunks, women wear bikinis.

Visiting Artist Series residencies get a remix. Schedule an artist at your school today!
On the surface, the nine artists and ensembles visiting the Quad Cities this fall and next spring for Quad City Arts' Visiting Artist Series don't seem to have much in common.
A pianist. A brass ensemble. A string trio. A ballet company. Of course, they share a level of professional accomplishments and artistic talent. But that's not all.
Each of the artists presenting educational outreach in the Fall 2021-Spring 2022 series present a unique twist, a remix on the standard of the genre or the ensemble.
Pianist Barron Ryan, whose website advertises his work as "Classic meets cool" describes his third solo album, "First of Its Kind," as "the funkiest, 'countriest', most calypso-y classical music you've ever heard". LowDown Brass Band pushes their instruments beyond traditional brass to a uniquely strong representation of Chicago Music culture. The band leans heavily on dancehall and street beat rhythm, with the energy of hip hop, jazz, reggae, and soul. String trio Time for Three performs at the intersection of Americana, modern pop, and classical music. Ballet company Hiplet creates in the space occupied by both traditional ballet and hip-hop and rap. And on top of that, they are all moving beyond the stage and the studio to present engaging outreach for students and community members.
Danny Green, pianist with LP And The Vinyl said, "All of the members of LP And The Vinyl have been very fortunate to have learned jazz from some incredible teachers. We love any opportunity to pay forward the lessons that we have learned. This residency gives us the opportunity to reach so many students and share our passion for music with them."
Pianist and composer Barron Ryan said about his reasons for choosing to participate in a residency, "I love using music to inspire students. Everything that makes you successful at music—creativity, discipline, patience, enthusiasm, and more—can make you successful at any other pursuit. Helping students realize that and put it into practice means that my work can make the world better for many years to come."
The season's first residency is Oct. 4-8 with Invoke, a modern/bluegrass/jazz quartet from Austin, Texas. The series continues through April 2022. For the full lineup of artists, visit www.quadcityarts.com/vas.
Past artist in residence Andrew Collins Trio said after their September 2019 visit, "I think this is an incredible program. How can we expect children (or anyone) to appreciate a wide range of arts if they are never exposed to a range of what's out there? I would highly recommend this residency to any colleagues and we would love to partake again any time. Thank you for including us this year."
Residency activities take place in schools and community sites in Clinton, Scott, and Muscatine Counties in Iowa, and Henry, Rock Island, and Mercer Counties in Illinois. Host sites can sign up for outreach engagements ranging from all-school performances to hands-on workshops or performance opportunities with artists in residence.
The Visiting Artist Series makes it possible for students to see live professional performances right in their school building or classroom and for teachers to use these artists, a world-class educational resource, for a nominal fee.
To schedule a residency for your students or clients, visit scheduling page at www.quadcityarts.com/vas-scheduling.
Green said, "We hope that the experience we bring to the students will inspire them to want to learn more about jazz and music in general. For the students who are already musicians, we hope that our program will provide them with new tools in creative expression. For the non-musicians, we hope that our program gives them a deeper understanding of what goes into creating music. Ultimately, we want to share the joy that music brings the world."
Along with their outreach for students and the public, most artists will also give informal public performances and full-length concerts. Visit our calendar to view all public events at www.quadcityarts.com/events for updated concert and ticket information. Follow us on Facebook to get breaking announcements on our events for the Visiting Artist Series and our other programs.
Chicago Dance Crash said after their January 2020 residency, "The coolest part for the dancers was seeing the excited kids from the school shows bring their parents to the full Saturday night show. We saw them get a taste of just the hip hop side of what we do at the schools, and then get this wide spectrum concert dance setting for the full show to push their minds open even further from the type of dance they might be used to."

These Art Galleries Marked the Month of March
Lorenzo Pereira
As we are entering April, the time has come to take a look back to the previous month, and to see what was going on in the world of contemporary art. There were a number of amazing exhibitions, fairs; we conducted a large number of interviews, etc. But, in this article, we are focusing on the most visited galleries on Widewalls. There aren't many surprises, as some galleries continue to find their place on our list. There are some debutants as well, so be sure to check out our list! In addition, all these galleries frequently organize amazing exhibitions, so just regularly check the pages of these galleries on Widewalls, and you will be regularly updated about what's happening in these art spaces. So, scroll down, and see what 10 most visited galleries on WideWalls were during the month of March!
Artemisia Gallery - In the Center of the Chelsea Art District
Artemisia Gallery promotes a pool of French and international artists. It is located in the Chelsea Art District in New York City. This gallery organizes solo, duo and group exhibitions throughout the year. There are always amazing art events in this great space; the last exhibition we wrote about was When Fashiom Meets the Art – which was on view in October and November, 2015, and that showcased a group of French artists whose artworks are influenced by art and fashion.
Open Walls Gallery
Open Walls Gallery almost always finds its place in the list of the most viewed galleries on Widewalls. This Berlin-based gallery was opened by Guillaume Trotin and Elodie Bellanger. Former joint curators of the renowned West Berlin Gallery and the infamous Stattbad Wedding, they started Open Walls in 2012 and both have a strong passion for further developing the terms and ideologies of Public Art, and have an in-depth knowledge of every artist they represent. Throughout the month of April, Open Walls Gallery will welcome a rising star of Iran's vibrant art scene – Romisa Sakaki. This will be the first solo show for this talented artist, who will visit the German capital for the showcase of her Selfies in the City.
Artistics - Online Gallery from Paris
Artistics is a Paris-based online gallery where art lovers and collectors can discover and support selected independent artists from around the world. The gallery is fiercely independent, fully dedicated to their art and generally working on the fringe of a closed circuit of galleries and contemporary art exhibitions. Artistics is a platform whose aim is to share the pleasure of encounters between artists and art lovers and allow those who desire, to purchase works from the artists the gallery exhibits. There is a wide choice of original and unique work as well as limited editions: sculptures, paintings, ceramics, drawings and photographs. The gallery's selection is not limited to one particular style, school or trend but rather favors a whole diversity of approaches as long as they prove to be mature, technically controlled and both pleasing and challenging aesthetically.
Berlin's BC Gallery
One of the finest Berlin-based galleries, BC Gallery was founded in 2013 in Berlin, by Nick Bargezi, a sound designer and art collector from Basel. It is interested in the high-end urban and contemporary art market, and its main goal is to provide artists and collectors alike with a reliable and sustainable platform. During April and until May 7, 2016, the Gallery hosts exhibition entitled KARAMBOLAGE, where the visitors will have an opportunity to enjoy new works by two famous German urban artists – Heiko Zahlmann and Stohead.
19 Karen Contemporary Art Space - Mermaid Beach, Australia
The visitors of 19 Karen Contemporary Art Space could enjoy the General Exhibition, a get-together of Australian and international artists, like Agostino Iacurci, Okuda, Cope2, Yosi Messiah and many more – this amazing show was on view until March 5, 2016. But, on March 19, the gallery inaugurated three solo exhibitions: dedicated to Janine Daddo, Roy Wilkins and Marina González Eme. Don't miss them!
Hang-Up Gallery in London
Hang-Up was also founded in 2008. It is an online gallery, with highly collectible street art and limited edition prints. Hang-Up had grown a reputation of a gallery that's been able to discreetly source rare limited edition Banksy prints, and Banksy canvases. In 2010, the gallery launched Hang-Up Contemporary, a second online gallery dealing in contemporary editions, and in 2013 the gallery launched a new site that combines Hang-Up Urban, Hang-Up Contemporary and Hang-Up Gallery into one responsive website.
Urban Spree Galerie - Reflection of Berlin's Urban Art Scene
Set in a vast postindustrial compound in the heart of Berlin, Urban Spree Galierie promotes a grassroots artistic approach, working closely with street & graffiti artists, urban photographers and contemporary artists. Until April 14, the visitors of Urban Spree can enjoy the exhibition of Berlin-based artist Matthias Gephart that is entitled Rare Shots On Planet X and the Gallery participates at the first urban art fair in Paris.
Galerie Zimmerling & Jungfleisch in Saarbrucken
Zimmerling & Jungfleisch is based in Saarbrücken, Germany and pursues a clear contemporary art program with an emphasis on Urban Art. The gallery advises conscientiously collectors and institutional clients in how to set up and expand their art collections. Through Patrick Jungfleisch alias RESO as a represented artist, as well as an artistic consultant, the gallery is also a point of contact for strategic and curatorial matters. Until April 9, you have an opportunity to see the colorful pieces by CRASH and Pro176 in the show entitled Revisiting Movement: John CRASH Matos x Pro176.
Kolly Gallery from Zurich
Kolly Gallery is located in the beautiful Zurich Seefeld area and promotes only finest pieces of the graffiti and street art universe in Zurich and Switzerland. The driving force behind Zurich's Kolly Gallery is the deep-rooted history of Julien Kolly's involvement in street art. Recently we saw great exhibitions in this art space. And until April 9, you can visit the exhibition of JonOne, while Kolly Gallery also presents the retrospective DARE – In Memoriam at the Basel Brasilea Foundation, remembering a pioneering Swiss graffiti artist Dare – Sigi von Koeding (until April 3).
The Cat Street Art Gallery from Hong Kong
This is the second time The Cat Street Art Gallery finds its place on our list. Founded in 2006, The Cat Street Gallery is one of Hong Kong's most well-known galleries. Originally established to exhibit the talents of contemporary Australian artist, the gallery has continued to grow it stable, representing some of the most important and exciting emerging and established talents from all over the world.

I'm a math major from Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Mathematics is the language I find most versatile for interdisciplinary research. I am interested in using mathematics as a basis to understand music, literature, and certain areas in economics.
I have a few ongoing math-related projects. The first combines music and mathematics. I co-developed acoustic technology called Nonlinear Acoustic Synthesis with Professor Spencer Topel in the Bregman Media Labs, using mathematical tools I learned to connect acoustic and electromechanical engineering, signal processing, and nonlinear dynamics. The research culminated in three papers we presented in Brisbane (Australia), Taoyuan (Taiwan), and this May in Copenhagen. The project was recently accepted into the NSF I-Corp's program at Thayer. Other math/music projects include an EEG "brainwave" performed at the Digital Arts Expo in 2016 as a sophomore science scholar, and probabilistic music compositions with neural networks with Professor Feng Fu in Math 60: Honors Probability.
My senior thesis is also with Professor Fu, where I intend to use evolutionary game theory to model innovation and technology diffusion. I'm also finalizing my research from Math 86: Mathematical Finance into a paper with another student to appear in the SIAM Mini-symposium this July. This is supported by Professor Seema Nanda. Finally, as a Presidential Scholar, I am assisting Professor Evens in the English Department on his book The Mathematics of Philosophy, where I designed a machine assisted text analysis program to help analyze examples of literature, poetry, theatre, art, and philosophy that invoke mathematics. After analysis, I interpret the coevolution of these areas of knowledge with mathematics.
My mathematical interests lie in number theory. But more than anything else I love the interconnectedness of mathematics: concepts and techniques from one field can, with enough ingenuity, be made relevant to another. Recently, mathematicians from seemingly unrelated fields have been getting excited about the Langlands program, a web of conjectures relating algebraic number theory with representation theory with geometry. Every time another conjecture is resolved, new exciting questions arise in its place to further unify mathematics. Research in number theory may lead to insights in other fields. This ebb and flow among branches will only enhance my understanding of and appreciation for mathematics as a whole.
Through funding as a Byrne Scholar, I have attended three conferences, presenting at two. I attended MAA MathFest 2015. I presented at Integers 2016, and AMS/MAA JMM 2017. I gave talks at the Dartmouth and Baltimore Number Theory Seminars. I'll be giving talks at CANT 2017 and the Dartmouth Number Theory seminar during spring term 2017. I was a James O. Freedman Presidential Scholar with a number theory project and will be continuing that project next fall as a senior honors thesis. During summer 2015 I was a counselor at the Ross Mathematics program. For summer 2017, I'll be in the number theory group at SMALL REU at Williams College.
Thanks to the Byrne Scholars I have been able to make the most of the opportunities that Dartmouth College offers. I was recently named as a 2017 Goldwater Scholar for my research. I hope to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics and teach at a university.
I am fascinated by how much information we can derive systematically from seemingly simple everyday systems like integers. What may initially seem mundane can suddenly become illuminated by a theorem that reveals a part of the detailed structure of a mathematical object. To me, that's so beautiful.
Number theory, a field of math studying properties of whole numbers, especially primes, has interested me since I first learned about it in grade school. Its foundations are relatively easy to grasp and yet even in basic modular arithmetic, concepts like the classic Euler's Theorem already have powerful implications. I have always thought it exemplary how deep mathematics can take us in pursuit of answers to simply phrased questions, like those from the famous theorems of the 1600s and 1700s.
As a Byrne Scholar, I hope to pursue some kind of mathematical research while at Dartmouth, and possibly continue research after graduation.

Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation announces plans to launch CAPA AeroPark
(New Delhi, 14 October 2008) Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) announced today that it is in the advanced stages of launching the CAPA AeroPark, a global best practice aviation training campus in India. The campus will focus around an aviation environment research centre.
The facility is designed to service the entire spectrum of operational and educational training requirements for airlines, airports, ANS providers, government and suppliers. It will be developed with support from international financiers and the world's leading aviation training providers.
"We are very excited to launch this new and timely concept in India to support the long term growth of the aviation sector. There is an emerging global shortage of skilled human resources in the industry, which is particularly acute in rapidly emerging markets such as India and neighbouring regions. CAPA AeroPark is being established to address this critical issue, all within the context of ensuring leadership in the area of climate change and aviation" stated Peter Harbison, Executive Chairman of CAPA. The campus will include academies for pilot training, air traffic control, engineering and maintenance, air traffic control, airport operations, airline executive management, cabin and ground crew.
Each of the training centres within the AeroPark will be managed by the world's most respected aviation brands in their respective disciplines. Mr Harbison stated, "by working only with the leading global training providers, we intend to establish and maintain quality standards at the highest international levels, which are unequalled elsewhere." An advisory council of eminent aviation experts from around the world is being assembled to monitor performance and ensure that best practice procedures are adhered to. Discussions are already well advanced with several globally-renowned training providers.
For training providers, CAPA AeroPark offers a walk-in operation, with no hassles related to land acquisition or construction. CAPA and its team offers assistance with regulatory and licensing issues as well as with umbrella marketing support and management of the facility.
A central feature of the CAPA AeroPark will be the Research Centre for Aviation Environmental Studies (RCAES), which will act as a focus for coordination of global development of cutting edge operations, technology and associated advances in addressing the issue of aviation and climate change. Mr Harbison emphasised, "the RCAES will instill environmentally sustainable practice into training programmes on the campus, establishing a generational mindset across the board that adopts a leadership approach to the environment."
CAPA AeroPark will be located in a landscaped park setting of around 50 acres, and designed with green credentials in mind. The campus will incorporate a range of affordable and high quality accommodation as well as extensive social and recreational facilities. The attractive and vibrant environment, combined with the unparalleled standards of training will establish CAPA AeroPark as the one-stop-shop centre of choice for both industry operators and students.
Shortlisted locations in Bangalore, Navi Mumbai and Pune are currently being evaluated and the final location will be announced in early 2009. The first phase of the CAPA AeroPark is scheduled to open in 1Q 2010.
"Despite the current financial market conditions, we have been overwhelmed by the investor interest in this project, which reflects the fact that this initiative is being developed as a long term solution for an industry which exhibits extremely strong fundamentals," added Mr Harbison.

How media mislead public about the recently killed Gujarati RTI activist Nadim Saiyad
Published: Sunday, Nov 06,2011, 17:28 IST
Source: nationalizer
A news site of Gujarat reported this news about an RTI activist who got murdered in Gujarat couple of days ago.It reads as below.
Nadim Saiyad, a friend of media persons and police, a cow protector, an outspoken reveler with great knowledge about inside activities of Ahmedabad's Muslim ghetto Juhapura, a sincere ground worker was killed today morning brutally in Juhapura when he was going to buy newspapers.
Though larger portion of media is highlighting Saiyad's murder as murder of 2002 riot case witness, the fact according to initial probe and version of Saiyad's father – who has lodged complaint – is that the murder is in connection with Saiyad's activity of protecting cows.
Saiyad's father has given specific names of local Muslims likely to be responsible for Saiyad's murder in his police complaint. Police believe that Kalu Gardan can be behind Saiyad's murder. Police have held five in this case.
Nadim's murder could be in connection with recent incident in which local butchers burnt police jeep and injured couple of policemen who were doing duty of rescuing cows illegally kept for slaughter. Police arrested six butchers in this case. While a local group of butchers and their supporters was against police, Nadim Saiyad on the other side was pro-police and opposed illegal transportation and slaughter of cows.
While Nadim Saiyad was active in Juhapura for last many years against illegal activities, it is understood that his last campaign against butchers and illegal cow slaughter caused his brutal murder today.
Ahmedabad police's Crime branch is investigating the case.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
We can argue that the above news may be from a pro Modi(RSS, Hindu, etc…) daily, but let us read what TOI tell us in connection to this incident.
Nadeem Saiyed, a witness in one of the most gruesome post-Godhra massacres of Naroda Patia in 2002 and an RTI activist, was brutally murdered in Juhapura area of Ahmedabad on Saturday morning. He was stabbed 28 times by four men in broad daylight, allegedly for providing information on illegal slaughter of cattle to the police.
Saiyed was rushed to V S Hospital where he was declared brought dead.
Also in yet another news bashing Modi, TOI reports the incident, with more clarity.
Hindus feel Modi is playing vote-bank politics. And Muslims feel let down because of the police crackdown on slaughterhouses ahead of Bakr Eid. Many believe that the killing of Nadeem Saiyed, an Ahmedabad-based RTI activist was indirectly linked with strict government action on butchers. Saiyed was killed by butchers who allegedly attacked police during a raid on a slaughterhouse in Juhapura, the largest Muslim ghetto in Gujarat.
So TOI and almost many of them report the news as so, so we can safely conclude that the it is not a digvijaya logic to connect his murder with the recent anti cow slaughter crusade by him. So what is the issue ?
TOI and other main stream media , though they mention the cow slaughter lobby connection to the murder, has a misleading Headline. When we report a murder event, we should not mislead the public, most of them who do not read details, but only glance through the headlines or news tickers. Almost all of the main stream media, highlighted Nadeeems activism in connection to 2002 riot case, and hides the real cause that lead to his death, in a few sentences.
The DNA gives a somewhat impartial reporting on the issue.
The biggest Muslim ghetto in Gujarat, Juhapura has emerged as a hub of illegal cow slaughter over the past decades. With police protection, dozens of dreaded criminals have also come up in this locality housing more than five lakh Muslims.
Behind the killing of social activist Nadeem Saiyed, the illicit business of cow slaughter is said to be the main reason. Nadeem paid the price for exposing several big names involved in this illegal trade.
He had told the police that the arrest of 10 people in connection with torching the police vehicle after police rescued around a dozen cows on October 29 inJuhapura, was wrong. According to sources, Nadeem had told the cops that the real culprits were Firdos Mulla and his brother Mushir Bachcha.
The information is said to have been leaked and thus a plan to eliminate him was conspired. According to sources in crime branch which is investigating the case, Firdos Mulla and his brother Mushir Bachcha are the main accused on whose behalf Mohammad Sharif aka Kalu Gardan murdered Nadeem with his three aides.
In the illicit trade of cow slaughter, Gardan is a mere pawn. Although a dreaded criminal who earned the nickname 'Gardan' for slicing his victims' necks, Gardan is said to have acted on the behalf of Firdos Mulla and Mushir.
Gardan who started as a small-time gambler turned into a dreaded criminal after he was booked in a murder case by Vejalpur police. According to sources, 30-year-old Gardan, who claims to be into real estate, works for Firdos and Mushir and calls them as Seths.
Sources said that Firdos and Mushir also ventured into the world of criminals from their initial stint in gambling and bootlegging. Apart from these, three other notorious names — Sultan, Alam Khan, Fazal Mukran — are involved in cow slaughter.
Another news which media suppress about him is this, as reported by Dainik Bhaskar.
Ahmedabad: Nadim Saiyad, a Naroda Patia riot witness, has alleged receiving threatening calls from Mehboob Baig alias Mehboob Senior, an accused in the Kalupur building collapse case.
In a letter written to the city commissioner of police (CP) on Sunday, Saiyad claimed that he was threatened by Mehboob Senior to change his statement in favour of the accused. He also stated that he was terrified because Senior allegedly has links with the underworld and enjoys good relations with local top cops.
Saiyad had not only informed his friends about the alleged threat call but also the government advocate dealing with the riots case about it.
"Mehboob Senior called from his mobile number 9537776637 to me on my cell phone at 2:02pm on July 3, 2011," Nadim Saiyad's letter to the CP reads. The letter further says, "Mehboob Senior spoke politely, but asked me not to repeat my earlier statement made in connection with the Naroda Patia riot case before the special court. The court is investigating the case under direct supervision of the Supreme Court, which was to be heard on July 4, 2011."

Know that if you knock the door will be open and unto you will I pour living water.
It is time for my people to get away from doctrines of demons. Orders that pull one scripture out, interpret it with human understanding and run with it.
I want my people who are called according to my purpose to have fullness, wisdom, understanding and knowledge. To read and know the undiluted word of God which is the truth. Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman who needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).
I then had a vision of an angel thrust a golden sword through the heart of the Bible. As he pulled it back out a golden light seem to emit from the pages. The word God is living and active, has the ability to shine light on the darkness. What is the exchange rate for knowing the truth, a life worth living. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free (John 8:32). For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing concealed that will not be known and illuminated (Luke 8:17). Be determined to know the truth, be determined to seek and find. Know that if you knock the door will be open and unto you will I pour living water.
Call to me, and I will answer you and teach you great and unsearchable things you know not of (Jeremiah 33:3). Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them (John 7:38). I will place fire and a sword of truth in your mouth. You will deliver the gospel with precision, accuracy and love. So that all who hear will come to the revelation of Jesus Christ. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the father (Philippians 2:10-11).
Then I heard the angel Gabriel proclaim: Take The gospel to the four corners of the earth. The clock is ticking and time is running out for all who are upon the threshing floor. The Lord has brought his winnowing fork, and the great day of sifting is almost done. My message to you today, is don't get left behind. Because of this, don't be ignorant, but understand the Lord's will (Ephesians 5:17). I have brought you to this fork in the road, choose this day whom you will serve. Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waiver between two opinions?


The Aquaman Bitz is constructed of Yamamoto #39 with a number of technical innovations created by Aquaman. This very flexible and supple wetsuit is well liked by triathletes because it improves performance at a very reasonable price. The collar is a new "Revolving Collar" which positions the front of the collar forward by 20 degrees and is 2cm lower allowing for more comfort and reducing the entry of water through the collar area. Another feature is the Flash System on the back of the neck to prevent chafing and aide in the opening of the zipper. The suit is made with 17 panels to give a snug cut. The torso is made with #39 Yamamoto treated with SCS and Smoothskin neoprene on the upper legs, rear, and back. The shoulders are made with #39 neoprene and the Ultraflex textile on the inside to provide great flexibility. The forearms have the "Aero Design Propeller" to provide a better catch of the water during the pulling phase of the stroke. Like most Aquaman models, the zipper on the back opens from bottom to top.

Q: URL display with proper output using System.Uri c# I have an application where in I have stored a lot of websites without validating them. Now I am validating the URL entered. But the already stored URL's are there as it is.
I want a strict display code that allows me to correct the user typos also and just gives the a proper URL to deal with.
The data that is already in the system has a lot of typos such as ...http://example.com or htp://example.com or ttp://example.com. I want the code to tackle that and come up with the proper url either by regexing the invalid part or making it correct.
That is the best approach to establish this?

A: You can obviously pick out the correct ones with a regex.
However, you will need to write your own logic to fix those that are 'broken'. You could pull these and with another regex and then simply search and replace the broken element. There are going to be limitations to this as you can only really check the protocol prefix and not the domain part itself.

A: Here is my try:
http(s)?://(www.)?[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.\\/]+

where [a-zA-Z0-9-.\/] includes all characters that you want to allow users to use.
P.S. please be aware that if you are using RegEx under C#, do not forget to use double \\ as otherwise your expression might not work properly.
Hope it gets you started.

VOICES: Awake in Mississippi on a new day
By Susan M. GlissonNovember 30, 2018
mississippi_dawn_flickr.jpg
Sunrise over Mississippi. (Photo by Loco Steve via Flickr.)
Someone I don't know, who lives outside of our state, wrote this social media post about Mississippi in response to the outcome of the U.S. Senate runoff: "They are still a bunch of hateful white people no matter how we cut it. It's never going to change it hasn't in the hundreds of years and it's not gonna change by 2020. We need to cut our losses and focus on the states that will make real change."
Thank God Mrs. Hamer and Medgar Evers didn't "cut their losses." They and others toppled segregation in spite of a "bunch of hateful white people." And some of those white folks learned and did better.
In 2004, with great trepidation and warnings from friends, I went to Neshoba County at the invitation of local citizens who wanted to mark the 40th anniversary of the murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. I'd certainly been indoctrinated that this place was the worst that an already bad Mississippi had to offer. And yet, with great courage over the course of several months, black, white and Choctaw residents gathered to tell the truth about their community, to build trust, and, in the strength of those new relationships, to issue a call for justice for the killings. Their advocacy led to the first state trial and conviction in that case, within a year of their work. By the next year, their actions helped us to pass a bill mandating teaching civil and human rights history in all Mississippi classrooms.
In our culture of immediate gratification, we expect difficult cultural change to occur in an instant, by fiat or tweet. It never has and never will.
In our culture of immediate gratification, we expect difficult cultural change to occur in an instant, by fiat or tweet. It never has and never will. There are no shortcuts to the everyday process of building inclusive relationships and trust in order to change mindsets and actions. An election is not a movement.
A movement for liberation requires long-term commitment. It requires truth-telling and courage and patience. And a movement should celebrate moving the needle, as Mississippians did. While President Trump won the state by 18 points, organizing there cut the GOP advantage in the Senate race by more than half to 8 points, even though Republicans outspent Democrats by 4 to 1. More folks showed up to vote in Hinds County for the runoff than voted in the regular election. That is unheard of, people! And that work didn't just happen in the last six months. We must not let the forward movement of the Espy campaign obscure the grassroots leadership across the state over the last 50 years and especially since the 2016 election.
That year, a small group of women in north Mississippi began having regular lunches every Friday. Hesitantly, one Friday one of the women confessed somewhat timidly that she was a Democrat. One by one, the remaining women shared that they, too, were Democrats. It has been beaten into our psyches for so long that Mississippi is so reliably red that the words "progressive" or "liberal" became shibboleths in the state. But the more we declare our belief in justice and equality, in compassion and mercy and love, the more of us we see live here. This election was simply one more invitation to come join this movement for liberation.
So, you see, the loss is not for those of you outside of Mississippi to cut. It's ours. We earned it, to learn from it and to grow. Beyond this one election, I hope what's also been lost is the illusion that we can change Mississippi (or this nation) without hard work. I hope some of us lose the myth that organizing doesn't work and doesn't deserve support. I hope we've lost the idea that if we ignore racism it will just go away.
We are awake in Mississippi on a new day. There are children to feed and elders to love and minds to change. We have work to do and no time to coddle mercurial attention spans.
