Watching a Red Sox game or listening to one on the radio is one of my favorite things to do on a warm summer night like we're having tonight in Maine. During the pregame show this evening the broadcasters were talking about the launch angle of some of the homeruns hit by Red Sox players this year. That discussion of launch angle triggered my memory of some resources that I've shared over the years regarding the math and science of baseball.
ESPN's Sport Science has a handful of little resources about the science of baseball. Currently featured on ESPN's homepage is a Anatomy of a Pitch. In Anatomy of a Pitch seven pitchers from the Arizona Diamondbacks explain how they throw their signature pitches. Each explanation includes slow motion footage and the pitchers explaining the release points, finger positioning, leg uses, and rotations involved in each their pitches.
Exploratorium has a little feature called the Science of Baseball. The Science of Baseball is a bit dated in its looks, but it still has some nice resources that can help students understand how a bit of science and mathematics is involved in the game. The Science of Baseball includes video and audio clips of baseball players and scientists explaining how the weather affects the flight of the ball, the physics of various pitches, and reaction times to thrown and batted baseballs.
This resource from PBS Learning Media is a lesson for students in high school. The lesson uses the context of baseball to teach about aerodynamics, energy transfer, and vibration.


Earlier this summer Apple updated its Playgrounds iPad app with the ability to control drones and robots through coding courses that help users learn Apple's Swift software development language. Today two new accessories have been added as Swift coding courses: Sphero Template and R2-D2 by Sphero.
Sphero Template is described as "an open template that allows you to build your own programs with a Sphero robot." Sphero points users to the Sphero API documentation to see what all you can do with the robot commands.
Sphero Template works with the Sphero SPRK+, BB-8, R2-D2, and newly debuted BB-9E robot.
Relive the events of Star Wars: A New Hope with your app-enabled R2-D2 Droid! Using Swift programming, you'll be able to help R2-D2 find Obi-Wan Kenobi in the deserts of Tatooine. You will also be able to explore the Death Star, evading Stormtroopers at every turn. Use new Swift commands unique to R2-D2, including controlling its lights, dome movements and playing authentic R2-D2 sounds. You will also code how to control the Droid's movement with the Death Star, as well as unlock its life form scanner and door decoder.
Both new additions are available to download through the Accessories tab on the latest version of Playgrounds for iPad.
The Star Wars promotion follows the recent announcement that Apple Stores will be hosting in-store sessions on iPads starting tomorrow.
Swift Playgrounds for iPad is available to download for free from the App Store.

MAN CHARGED OVER POLICE PROBE INTO RONAN HUGHES SUICIDE
Tragic Ronan Hughes who took his own life in 2015 after being tricked into posting pictures online
A man has been charged by police investigating the death of teenage schoolboy Ronan Hughes.
The 31-year-old appeared at Bucharest municipal court in Romania.
He was charged with producing and distributing indecent images of children as well as blackmail.
The identity of the man has not been revealed and he was remanded in custody.
Ronan Hughes, a 17-year-old from Coalisland, Co Tyrone, took his own life in June 2915.
He had been the victim of what the police call webcam blackmail.
The PSNI said it had been liaising with a number of agencies in a variety of jurisdictions as part of the investigation, including the Romanian Police, Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism, the National Crime Agency, and Europol.
PSNI's Detective Superintendent Gary Reid said PSNI detectives are currently in Romania assisting with the investigation.
"This has been complex and protracted and we are grateful to our colleagues in our partner agencies for their assistance to date," he said.
Det Supt Reid confirmed the man would be tried in Romania with the assistance of the PSNI.
"We'll be taking over our information that led to today's arrest," he said.
Calling on anyone else who finds themselves in a similar position to Ronan Hughes to contact police, he added: "We understand people might be embarrassed by it but we would say please, set that aside.
"If you don't feel comfortable speaking to us, speak to a third party because we don't want any more deaths."


to invigorate the playing field.
of our place in this vast illusion of being.
the imperfect souls we are, and the circumstances that ensue.
and capable of all that we judge in others.
they never listen, are never convinced.
to even recognize a common ground.
'Understanding' is a key to beautiful friendships, to all relationships and it gives us that common ground where love can grow. Great work, Tony.
Glad you related to this one Phyllis, understanding is all we can do. Cheers!

For Temple Elephants, Suffering is a Way of Life.
Temple Elephants, or "Gods in Chains", are often snatched from the wild, torn away from their families, and forced to live their entire lives chained up alone as living displays of fortune, prestige, or good luck. In temples – where people come to remember how to be kind and compassionate. This is holy?
From a young age they are chained for extensively long periods of time, often living their lives able to face only one direction. Unable to even turn around, they are left to rock, sway, and bob for hours, days, and weeks on end, both to help ease the pain from their chains and to help ease the desolation of their confinement. Denied of companionship from another of their own kind, and without having their most basic and humane needs met, Temple Elephant's real lives aren't anything like the revered stories handed down through generations of myth and faith. During the festival season it goes from bad to worse as elephants endure chaotic religious processions that often last for days without ceasing, during which many are deprived of food, water, and sleep.
While remaining sensitive to the historical and cultural connections between elephants and many belief systems, how can a compassionate philosophy not include the elephant hobbled in the back of the temple?
By the time the season is over, many of these "Sacred Beings" will be utterly malnourished, dehydrated and sick, and will go right back to being tightly chained in the temple until the next round of processions begins. Is a lifetime of abuse in the name of tradition and a few photo ops really worth it?
Temple elephants are often more for political status than religious freedom, and are living status symbols used for display as cultural icons. Wealthy businessmen and politicians often own the elephants, renting them out for parades, processions, and a life of confinement in temples. Such owners rarely, if ever, actually see the elephant, whose daily care would be from a mahout, and a very poor one at that.
In addition to politicians, high ranking monks and religious leaders often own the elephant in the room – how can we not ask them to offer the same kindness to the elephants that they give to those they pray beside?
You can help turn the tide toward Compassion.
No matter how moving a religious celebration filled with temple elephants might be, or how mystical and exotic it might appear to see parades of painted elephants adorned with fabrics and paint, ask yourself what cruelties you didn't see that had to take place to create the illusion of what you did get to see. And as much as you might want to be blessed by the monk or have a snap taken with the adorned temple elephant, doing so perpetuates the very cruelty you want to change.
So how do we change a practice that is such a politically sensitive issue, one in which the very people who can change the future for the better are the very ones who see nothing wrong with the present? We start with the very thing we might go to a temple for: compassion.
This is Ganga, a temple elephant in Sri Lanka, and Heart of Ganesh was originally created in response to her suffering. After years of fighting in support of Legal Counsel from the Centre for Eco-Cultural Studies, her case is currently in the Sri Lankan Supreme Court. The moment we met Ganga we knew we could never forget what we saw and we hope you won't either.
The work takes far more patience than what comes naturally…Such changes require the willingness to have open minded dialogues with foreign cultures and conflicting attitudes, the capacity to set the ego aside to cultivate a network which embraces the skills of diverse groups and individuals, and the resiliency to hold the immense suffering of the elephants and people alike until our one goal is met: to create a world where compassion trumps captivity for both the elephant and the human heart.

Ninja Pizza Girl – Multiple missteps mar an otherwise solid platformer
Reviewed July 20, 2016 on Xbox One
Leave a comment on Giant Bomb
Disclosure: An Xbox One download code was provided by the publisher for this review
Ninja Pizza Girl is a game I wish I liked more than I actually do. It has a strong set of core mechanics, and a very positive anti-bullying message, but some stumbles along the way prevent it from reaching its full potential. It is certainly an enjoyable experience, but the rough edges are hard, at times, to ignore.
At its heart, Ninja Pizza Girl is a relatively straight-forward side-scrolling platformer, focused on finding a fluid path through the level. The objective is simple: deliver a pizza to a customer before it gets cold, chaining together jumps, slides and wall-jumps to reach the goal, all the while avoiding the MeGaCo goons who seek to mock and slow down the player. The basic idea of the game reminds me of the Mirror's Edge mobile game that EA put out a few years ago (though thankfully NPG controls far better than that game).
Purely from a mechanical standpoint, the game works well. Landing a jump into a slide, taking out multiple enemies in the process, feels good, wall-jumps are easy to pull off, and moving from one move to the next feels very fluid. As successive moves are executed without stumbling, being hit by enemy attacks, or suddenly changing direction, the character beginnings to sparkle subtly. Eventually, the game briefly slows down, the dubstep kicks in, and the character starts to leave rainbow colours trails in her wake. Getting that effect, and knowing that I am nailing what I am trying to do, just feels great. Oddly, on some occasions, the dubstep didn't kick in, and I was left playing the game in near silence. I'm not clear if this was a bug, or an aspect of the mood system I was misunderstanding, but it was a tad disappointing when that happened, regardless of the cause.
Well designed levels mean that even on a first run at a level, it's generally easy to see a path (not necessarily the fastest path) through a level, which complements the mechanics well. Some of the later levels can be a little less obvious, and may double back on themselves, but generally speaking the difficulty ramp means that this didn't feel frustrating. Most of the levels have multiple paths, and on some of the later levels I found I could avoid entire segments by taking the less obvious path. This made it fairly rewarding to revisit levels in search of collectables or a better ranking (determined by the time remaining).
Some of the levels, typically those at the end of a chapter, mix up the gameplay to some degree. In one, the time constraint is removed, but the pizza must be kept above a certain temperature by passing or standing near oil drum braziers. There is also a race against a rival pizza runner, and a timed collectable hunt. These levels help to break up the game, and are a welcome addition to the more standard platforming / speedrun levels.
The game is mostly bug-free, though I found I could hover in-place in a few locations
Outside of the core story progression, the game has a few additional features that extend its longevity to some degree. Collectables found in the levels can be used to unlock additional costume for the main character and additional items such as game modifiers, interviews with the developers, and artwork. Though collecting these items can sometimes disrupt the flow of the level, it also provided a useful hint of alternate paths that could be taken. The game modifiers, such as double-jump, big-head mode, and first-person mode, are interesting ways to revisit older levels. The first-person mode feels odd and is difficult to control (the controls are unchanged, so I still need to push right to go forward), but I suspect the developers realised this - an achievement called "We didn't think anyone would do this" is unlocked after beating a single level in this mode.
This is also a speedrun mode, where either individual levels or the entire game can be tackled, and players are ranked on a leaderboard according to time taken.
It's in the art direction and story telling that things start to go somewhat awry for Ninja Pizza Girl. None of these issues on its own would really be a problem, but the number of missteps lead to the game feeling rough around the edges. Firstly, the game doesn't look that great. It's fine for what it is trying to do, but the 3D models are fairly basic, and I am not a huge fan of the 2D character portraits. Furthermore, whilst the dystopic near-future world is well-designed, the levels are all very similar stylistically. From an artistic point of view, if I've seen one level, I've pretty much seen them all.
From a narrative standpoint, the game is tackling surprisingly difficult themes given its genre, principally bully and self-esteem. On the whole, the game presents a realistic portrayal of these issues. Though the situations and characters sometimes feel forced (delivering pizzas does not typically provide so much introspection), the dialogue is relatable and feels natural. The main arc of the character, building her self-esteem and seeing the support of those around her, is strong.
That said, the narrative and the gameplay frequently feel at odds with each other. Repeating a level multiple time, striving for that perfect run, when that level opens with a quote containing "Sometimes courage us getting out of bed in a morning" just feels weird in a way that is difficult to describe. It is hard to reconcile the fun of platforming and seeking to not only be good but be the best (in terms of level ranking or leaderboard placement) with the notion that the main character is having such a hard time. The experience as a whole is just a little discordant.
There is also a sudden escalation in the abuse thrown at the character towards the end of the game that takes it from being the story of an individual's struggle with bullying and self-esteem to being a focused attack on a local business by a large corporation. Though this lead to one of the strongest sequences of the game - running from an ill-defined 'cloud' of bullies which I took to be a metaphor for running away from problems - it also made it more difficult to empathise with and relate to the main character. I can easily relate to being the target of local bullies; it is much more difficult to imagine being specifically targets by big business.
Finally in terms of narrative, there is a concept of character mood. As her mood deteriorates, the colour palette of the game become more washed out, stumbles are more frequent, and the mocking of in-level enemies more easily resulting in the character falling to her knees and stopping (at which point the player must mash A to continue). I like this in concept, and it ties neatly into the themes and message of the game. However, I found the execution to be somewhat clumsy. It is difficult to tell the character's mood level-to-level - the effects are too subtle to really notice much of the time, and this information isn't explicitly surfaced. Furthermore, it is difficult to tell what will reduce the mood - even after beating the game, I'm not 100% clear if it is story-based, performance-based, or a blend of the two.
More than that, I found that the way to improve the character's mood potentially sends the wrong message. At the end of a few levels, I was presented with a message to the effect of "Gemma's mood is low. Maybe she should buy something" (refreshing items or the aforementioned costumes) using the collectables found in the level. I doubt it is deliberate giving the positive message that the game as a whole presents, but I found this linking of happiness and consumerism to be rather problematic.
Overall, Ninja Pizza Girl is a mechanically solid platformer that tackles difficult themes reasonably well. I want to applaud the developers for addressing these issues, but must also point out that gameplay occasionally suffers as a result. I am still happy to recommend the game, though the problems mentioned above mean it is a far from flawless experience.


FIMS uses a centralized minting service to assign identifiers for three types of identifiers: expeditions, datasets, and resources. The three types of identifiers are described below.
Each FIMS system installation must use its own name assigning authority number and register with California Digital Library's EZID service to mint Archival Resource Keys (ARKs).
Belongs to an expedition. Multiple resources may be specified for each expedition.
Implements suffix-passthrough feature to identify individual resources within each dataset. For example, a single "Material Sample" identifier is created for each expedition. If the expedition has 1000 rows representing physical samples, 1000 identifiers can be resolved by appending a locally unique suffix on to the Resource Identifier root.
A resource identifier plus the locally unique primary key loaded for the most recent dataset in an expedition forms the globally unique identifier for a particular resource.

Most Peaceful States in Nigeria (2023)
This article is about the most peaceful states In Nigeria according to Foundation for Peace Professionals, FPP.
A state where there are no violence and distractions is considered peaceful, so partnering to this; I have decided to write an article on the most violent free states in Nigeria according to FPP raning
Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP) is an independent Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) and has unveiled Nigeria Peace Index (NPI). The research focusing on measuring peace tendencies through foundational indices.
According to FPP, to design the Nigeria Peace Index (NPI), 5 broad indicators were adopted namely crime rate, level of human rights abuse, level of poverty, level of education and rate of incarceration.
And under these 5 broad categories, there are sub-indicators, which include rates of communal clashes, kidnapping, extra-judicial killings, unlawful arrest and detention, armed robbery and many others.
So sampling everything together across the 36 states of the federation gave them the rating of the NPI. The research was done between 2010-2016, and it was claimed by them that there is no evidence that there will be a sharp difference when data are considered for 2017 and 2018.
The Most Peaceful States in Nigeria
According to the data provided by Foundations for Peace Professionals (FPP), below is a list of the most peaceful states in Nigeria.
1. Osun State
Osun State is located in the southwestern part of Nigeria. Its capital is Osogbo with Illorin being the closest city to it.
Osun state is bounded in the north by Kwara State, in the east partly by Ekiti State and partly by Ondo State, in the south by Ogun State and in the west by Oyo State. The dominant ethnic group in Osun state is Yoruba with other sub-ethnic groups including Ife, Ijesha, Oyo, Ibolo and Igbomina and there are also people from other parts of Nigeria.
With no cases of Boko Haram or Fulani insurgency, Osun state happens to make the list of most peaceful states in Nigeria.
Lastly, Osun is the home of Erin-Ijesha Waterfall which is one of the most popular waterfalls in Nigeria
2. Kogi State
Kogi is located in the north-central zone of Nigeria with its capital in Lokoja which is the most popular and developed cities in the state. It is popularly called the confluence state due to the fact that the confluence of Rivers Niger and Benue occurs there.
There are three main ethnic groups in Kogi: Igala, Ebira, and Okun; with the Igalas being the mos dominant ethnic group across the state.
3. Ekiti State
Ekiti State is located in the southwestern part of Nigeria. It was created on 1st October 1996 by the former military head of state the Federal Republic of Nigeria, late General Sani Abacha. The State was carved out of Ondo State, covering the former twelve local government areas that made up the Ekiti Zone of old Ondo State.
It is evident Ekiti is one of the best state for NYSC service in Nigeria and one of the most peaceful as residents there are very friendly and welcoming to strangers.
Lastly, the state has produced many intelligent men and women which makes it one of the most educated states in Nigeria
4. Kwara State
Illorin is the capital city of Kwara State. The state was created on 27 May 1967, when General Yakubu Gowon broke the four regions that then constituted the Federation of Nigeria into 12 states. The principal groups residing in Kwara State are Yoruba, Nupe, Bariba and Fulani.
5. Imo State
Owerri is the largest state and the capital of Imo State. Imo state was created on February 3, 1976 out of the former East Central state. The main cities in Imo State are Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe. The people of Imo state are Igbo speaking states with minor differences in dialects.
It is n doubt Imo state is not just a peaceful state but also one among the most educate states in Nigeria due to its history of producing highly intelligent personalities in Nigeria.
6. Ebonyi State
Ebonyi is another state where raping, kidnapping, Bokoharam and all sorts of insurgencies are very rare.
The state is located in the Southeast part of Nigeria with its capital in Abakaliki.
Secondary, Ebonyi state is the home for agriculture. It is a leading producer of rice, yam, potatoes, maize, beans, and cassava in Nigeria.
Ebonyi is often called "the salt of the nation" for its huge salt deposit at the Okposi and Uburu Salt Lakes.
The inhabitant ethnic group are the Igbos. Major townships include Afikpo, Onueke, Ezzamgbo, Uffiacha, Edda, Effium, Aba Omege, Amasiri, Unwana, Echara Ikwo, Egu-Ubia, Ụbụrụ, Onicha
7. Kebbi State
Kebbi is situated in north-western Nigeria with its capital at Birnin Kebbi. The state was created out of a part of Sokoto State in 1991. Kebbi State is bordered by Sokoto State, Niger State, Zamfara State, Dosso Region in the Republic of Niger and the nation of Benin. It has a total area of 36,800 km²
The most fascinating thing about Kebbi state is its cultural festivals and Artifacts, the state is famous in the Argungu International Fishing and the Zuru annual Uhola Cultural Festivals.
The most spoken languages in Kebbi state are; Cishingini, Kyanga, Shanga, and Sorko.
8. Akwa Ibom
Akwa Ibom is located in the coastal southern part of Nigeria with its capital in Uyo.
Furthermore, Akwa Ibom is known to be the highest oil- and gas-producing state in the country (with an estimated production of 800,000 barrels per day). Uyo, which is the state capital has an estimated population of 500,000
There are 20 languages spoken as first languages in Akwa Ibom State. The major languages are Anaang, Ibibio and Igbo. other languages are; Itu, Uyo, Etinan, Ikot Abasi, Ikono, Ekpe-Atai, Uruan, Onna, Nsit-Ubium, and Mkpat Enin LGA's.

Enugu was created in 1991 from part of the old Anambra State. Its capital, Enugu is the largest city is Enugu, from which the state derives its name.
Criminal Cases are very rare, likewise, Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen attack which makes Enugu one of the most peaceful states in Nigeria.
The city is popular for its cuisine, robust industries and of course, the local palm wine
10. FCT Abuja
FCT Abuja is one of the most beautiful and peaceful states you could ever travel to in Nigeria. It is a federal territory in central Nigeria.
Abuja is known for being one of the few purpose-built capital cities in Africa, as well as being one of the wealthiest. Abuja is Nigeria's administrative and political capital. It is also a key capital on the African continent due to Nigeria's geo-political influence in regional affairs.
the Federal Capital Territory was created in 1976. It will interest you to understand that the name Abuja is coined out of the Hausa language and it was derived from the name Abubakar –Ja and Abubakar-Ja is derived from the name of a person called Mallam Abubakar JA and the name "Abubakar" is an Islamic name while the word "Ja" is referring to a red colour in the Hausa language.

Tailings. One of those parts of the mining business that everyone loves to hate.
External stakeholders see them as large, ugly ponds of toxic sludge, fearing their presence, fighting against their development. Not in my backyard.
And to the mining business, tailings make up a significant cost- unfortunately being something that no conventional mine has ever been able to eliminate.
When our grades are ever decreasing, and tailings volumes continue to climb for every ounce of ore extracted. When our dam heights continue to rise and expand in order to contain them. As their surface areas substantially grow. And as we struggle to find ways to successfully reclaim and close them once our operations cease.
They are the waste, the end product of mining, that no one wants.
But does it need to be this way?
Tailings are a passion of mine. Exposed to tailings very early in my education and career journey, I was lucky enough to spend time working with and learning from some well known experts, as well as some fairly unique projects. Tailings, characterizing their makeup, and figuring out how they function, can be fascinating work.
Early in my career I heard a lot about work to thicken and transport tailings more effectively and efficiently. I heard about drying technologies that might allow their compaction and dry placement for greater stability and downsizing, or even elimination, of containment dams. And I heard about tailings-wasterock co-disposal pilot tests which were shown to reduce environmental issues associated with both waste volumes.
And why has such activity lost so much attention?
Our risks have not disappeared. Tailings, as we know, offer one of the biggest risks we need to manage, the risks that survive in perpetuity, the ones that can cost so much if things go wrong.
Failures continue to occur, and these gain much attention. By the public, and by industry too.
But it is inevitable that more will continue - why?
Because we aren't changing our practices. Because those dams will be there forever, and because the people who know them well, who helped build them, and who know how they need to be managed, will not.
I find that over the years, I've heard less and less about innovations in tailings, and more and more about optimizing processes and extraction, even though they really go hand in hand.
Why do we continue to ignore the potential for value and innovation in tailings management? In their generation? In their mere presence!?
Why are we not using innovations in extraction, thickening and drying to reduce our volumes of tailings? Into geochemically and geotechnically stabilizing these materials and making them safe to not just store, but use, these materials? Into segregating and engineering value-add products from our masses of residual minerals? And into diminishing the mass that needs to be stored on site indefinitely?
In attending CIMs MeMO event in Saskatoon last week, I was disappointed to see very little attention paid to tailings.
I'm hoping that I'll see and hear more at this week's Mines and Technology conference in Toronto, but after one day, I am not certain I'll find it there.
Tailings is not a topic of interest for the majority, even though it holds so much power within our industry. But as the theme for Mines and Technology is innovation, I'll be asking some of these questions when I moderate the panel on tailings management on October 4th.
We need to start thinking differently about our wastes. Looking to the future, and collaborating to become part of the circular economy. Finding the full potential value within our developments. Finding ways to derive value from our wastes, as opposed to stored liabilities.
Ignoring this opportunity not only handcuffs our operations with these serious and growing risks and potential liabilities, it begins to impact the feasibility of our industry.
The world is finding ways to replace many materials currently in use, every day, and with far less potential impact on the earth. And ultimately, there are many who would see mining eliminated, people who often have deep pockets and loud voices.
Could they have an impact on business?
Too far off, you say, to think about it?
In my opinion, the sooner we start thinking about these risks, the better. If we want to continue mining, without battling to do so, we should use the materials we produce more wisely and show what responsible mining can really look like!
I'd love to hear your thoughts. What do you think is possible? Realistic? Feasible?

We successfully had our CGC Testing (Monday, November 14, 2016) at Reid Park. I believe we had 9 dogs go through the testing. I could be wrong, I lost track after the first few. It was quite fun and pretty exciting. We only had one dog not qualify but that's okay because it was a very young dog and the dog was very recently rescued. It came a long way in a very short time. It wasn't even that cold as far as November goes in Tucson. I remember much colder nights in past November classes. I know there are many others who wanted to be there but couldn't. Rest assured we will have more opportunities in 2017. Although those dates are not up on the website yet, they will be as soon as we can figure out when to offer one.
We would like to thank all our students for your support and look forward to seeing you at future classes. Until then, we wish you all a very happy and safe holiday season.

Q: Feedback system only allow 1 per user I am implementing a feedback system on a website, but a user should only be allowed to give feedback to another user once.
The only way i can think of doing it would be create another database that shows who has left who feedback by tracking id's, but im sure there is a simpler way to achieve the same result im just not seeing it? Or would the initial way i planned it by putting the information into another database be the best solution?
The code i have so far is:
<?php
    if(isset($_POST['good'])) {

        $thumbsUp = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET good_feedback = '". $newGood1 ."' WHERE `username` = '". $profileUser ."'");

    if($thumbsUp) {
            echo 'You have left feedback';
        }
    }
    if(isset($_POST['bad'])) {

        $thumbsUp = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET bad_feedback = '". $newGood2 ."' WHERE `username` = '". $profileUser ."'");

    if($thumbsDown) {
        echo 'You have left bad feedback';
        }
    }

    if (logged_in() == true && $user_data['username'] != $profile_data['username']) {
        echo '<p style="font-size: 17px; margin-left: 22%;">Leave Feedback: </p>';
        echo '<form method="post" style="margin-left: 8%;">
            <button class="btn-u" name="good">Good Feedback</button>
            <button class="btn-u" name="bad">Bad Feedback</button>
            </form>';

    } else {
        echo 'you cannot leave feedback for yourself!';
    }

?>

Thanks in advance for any answers.
PLEASE NOTE: I KNOW THE ABOVE CODE IS OPEN TO SQL INJECTION'S

A: If you want to set up an environment with the constraint that "A" can only give feedback to "B" once, then you can do so with a unique index.  Here is a very simplified form of what you can do:
create table feedback (
    FromUser int,
    ToUser int,
    Message varchar(255)
);

create unique index idx_feedback_from_to on feedback(fromuser, touser);

It's been said that the underground fuel storage network in the UK is a 'ticking time bomb', with thousands of ageing, single-wall steel tanks thought to be hiding under forecourts nationwide. The consequences of a leak can be catastrophic to the environment and bank balance but many retailers are taking a dangerous risk by holding onto ageing tanks longer than they should, because of the prohibitive cost of replacement, according to Vianet Fuel Solutions (VFS). However a relatively inexpensive solution is available.
VFS technical sales manager, Richard Whiting, says: "While the circumstances of each forecourt are different, generally speaking when compared with the cost of installing new tanks, or the potential cost of cleaning up a leak tank lining is usually the best option by far."
To help one customer understand the full financial differences between tank lining and tank replacement, VFS carried out a comparison survey on a real service station and provided the owner with precise figures on single-skin lining, double-skin lining and tank replacement.
While the details of the site must remain confidential, the overall results revealed that the cost of replacing five tanks of varying sizes from 30,000 litres down to 12,400 litres by installing new double-skin tanks, complete with a leak-detection system, using the original tank farm or creating a new tank farm elsewhere on the site, the owner would have to spend in the region of £145,000 to £190,000 plus VAT.
This was set against the cost of double-skin lining, including leak detection, which worked out, for that site, at £62,991 plus VAT. The simpler single-skin lining would have been £32,154 plus VAT. If, as in extreme and unusual cases, all the pipework needs replacing, a further £20,000 would be added to these prices.
"The inescapable conclusion is that tank lining offers a cost-effective alternative to the installation of new underground storage tanks," says Whiting. "In addition, there are other benefits of relining the tanks, such as no requirement for planning permission and minimal site disruption. Wherever possible, the site can remain operational during the lining process."
Meanwhile, it's not just single-wall tanks retailers should be concerned about, because according to Edward Wheeler, managing director of Eurotank Environmental, the industry has seen its first failures of double-wall steel tanks in the past 12 months, with evidence of leaks springing from the inner and outer skin of underground storage tanks.
"The impact on retailers if the inner skin leaks can be limited to fuel contamination and a patch repair cost, but the impact of the outer skin leaking is very different," warns Wheeler.
He says that an outer-skin leak forces the retailer into one of three courses of action: to stop using the tank and decommission it; to double-skin line the tank because the licensing authority is likely to insist on the tank returning to double skin; or removing the forecourt to expose the tank and either find the leak and repair it or remove the tank and replace it with a new one.
Says Wheeler: "When the European standards for fuel systems were developed, the use of pea gravel as a backfill was judged to be a better material than concrete due to the ease with which it could be removed. However, in a situation where one tank fails, it becomes very difficult to remove it because the pea gravel is 'fluid' and will move into the void left by the failed tank being removed. To stop this happening, shuttering is required, which is not easy or all tanks have to be replaced."
Wheeler also says there's a common misconception that double-wall tanks should last a lot longer than single-wall tanks. "Despite the superior corrosion inhibiting coatings applied to double-wall tanks, they may fail faster than single-wall tanks. Even the smallest paint defect in the outer coating will cause accelerated corrosion in that spot and the outer skin will be breached in years, not decades.
"Currently, industry best practice is to remove single-wall tanks and install new double-wall tanks," he adds. "Although technically I would argue that a properly lined, well-installed, single-wall steel tank will outlast a new double-wall steel tank, it is understandable that major retailers have gone down this road when undertaking total knock-down-rebuilds. But the issue now is whether retailers will want to go through the downtime and expense of digging up their sites to replace their double-wall tanks every 20 years? My advice is if you are happy with your tank capacities and your shop, why knock it all down and rebuild it?
"The problem for retailers is selecting the right system and company to carry out the lining works. There is a long list of companies which have carried our tank lining installations and are not around today to honour the warranties. It is better to install a good single-skin system than a bad double-skin system because the single is likely to last a lot longer."
Cleaning fuel tanks is an essential part of forecourt maintenance, whether it be to prepare tanks for biofuels, overcome a contamination problem, get tanks ready for lining, tank testing or just general tank hygiene. But the question is which method for tank cleaning is best?
Nigel Plumb, director of DP Fuel Tank Services, says: "There are two ways the man-entry method or remote cleaning, and both methods have advantages and disadvantages. We use both methods, depending on customer preference and site conditions.
"We prefer getting our safely-gloved hands dirty in order to get a tank thoroughly clean. Personnel going inside tanks always run a minor risk, but providing they are trained and prepared for the job, there is little or no threat.
"Training and safety equipment for manned entry may cost companies money, but is a far cheaper method compared to the cost of pumping gallons of contaminated water, created by jet washing, out of a tank, and then having to dispose of it safely. Understandably some clients prefer remote cleaning and for those we use the Gamma Jet X, a high-pressure water lance that features an innovative two-way swivel nozzle. Using continually recycled water, this cleans without leaving streaks."
To tackle bacterial contamination problems caused by biofuels, Petroman Environmental produces and distributes the Bio-Klenz fuel additive. As Petroman operations manager Phil Lovatt explains: "Bacteria need two things to live: food, which they get from the bio-fuel, and oxygen, which they get from water, which can come from a number of sources. Remove either of these and the bugs die. Bio-Klenz reacts with any water in the fuel and emulsifies it, so it can't be used by bacteria. Bio-Klenz does not clog pipes, filters or pumps and is burned off harmlessly in engines.
"While other methods and procedures for dealing with the problem, such as fuel polishing and tank cleaning, can be very effective and may be required for severe contamination, these can be expensive, so it is more cost-effective if the problem is caught early enough to carry out preventative maintenance by regularly dosing tanks with BioKlenz," adds Lovatt. "It is also a very practical means of eradicating bacteria from pipework."
The forecourt market was one of the first sectors to embrace the benefits of plastic pipework and has been reaping the rewards for over a decade, according to David Naylor, brand manager for Durapipe PLX.
"Careful consideration should be given to the specification of products," advises Naylor. "Reliability and safety are crucial for forecourts. If any fuel was to leak into the ground or vapours into the atmosphere, it could harm both the environment and the public. With the majority of pipework in a forecourt installed below ground, there is always a threat of ground contamination.
"As a result, it is important that contractors specify secondary contained systems to provide additional pipework protection against damage and to prevent accidental fuel loss into the environment. Secondary-contained pipe systems are becoming compulsory for many pipework applications, and are now the preferred solution for fuel conveyance."
However, there are different options for secondary-contained pipework systems and it is important to ensure the right product is used, adds Naylor. "Within a forecourt, close-fit pipework should be used for below-ground sections and a pipe-in-pipe solution would be the preferred option for above-ground fuel transfer. With such specific requirements, it is essential that a pipework system is selected that is purpose-designed for the specific fuel conveyance application it will be operating in, rather than a product that claims it can cater for multiple applications, as this is when performance can be compromised."
Durapipe UK's PLX system is purpose-designed for the safe transfer of fuel-based liquids and their vapours. "Manufactured in a robust polyethylene material, PLX provides exceptional resistance to rapid crack propagation and long-term stress cracking," says Naylor. "A protective liner allows increased resistance to all types of fuel blends, ensuring there is no permeation of fuel through to the atmosphere."
Pipework supplier Nupigeco, which offers the Smartflex system, says the trend in plastic pipework is moving towards double-wall piping systems.
Maja Stirrat, area sales manager of Nupigeco, says: "Smartflex offers a full range of double-wall fittings, and the terminating fittings and even some elbows and T-pieces have test port connections on them to allow easy connection to leak detection units or pressure test units."
The installation should be easy but, more importantly, safe for the installer and the environment, stresses Stirrat. "To do that, retailers need to make sure that only trained people are installing the products," she says. "Smartflex's own welding machine will only operate if the installer holds a smartcard that contains their details and ID number. The Smartflex welding machine also measures temperature and automatically adjusts the welding time so there is no danger of underheating or overheating the weld.
Flood warning
Floods ravaged many areas of the UK last year with some forecourts not escaping rising water levels.
E&S Environmental recommends that retailers with sites in flooded areas check the health of the tank and line fleet.
"When totally submerged in water, tanks try to float as they're subjected to an up-thrust of 30 tons or more," the company warns. "The worst case is they do float and burst through to above-ground level.
"Less obviously, they can crack the surface, strain connections to lines or suffer structural damage themselves. Most obviously, they may start to take on water either because water is at a level at which a previously unknown flaw becomes covered or because structural damage applies pressure on a previous weak point, causing failure and significant expense.
"A minimum requirement for forecourt retailers is to check for water in the tanks immediately and maintain this at least daily until flooding disappears."
Testing, testing
Petroman Environmental is reminding retailers that it's a legal requirement for forecourts to have their pressure vacuum (PV) and vapour recovery (VR) valves tested at the required intervals.
The company says it can carry out an interactive or static Stage 1B test to check the PV and VR valves, with static testing being without a tanker connected to the system. Inert nitrogen is used to pressurise the tanks to check the PV valve operates at the required pressure and the VR valve is sealing correctly. Using nitrogen as a safe medium for the test gives a lot more flexibility as to when testing can take place, says Petroman.
Pressurising the tanks also allows the testing of the whole system for leaks, from the fill points and vapour recovery pipe work above ground, at the same time.
Issa brothers bid for Caffe Nero

Q: Let $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ a function such that $f(mn) = f(m) + f(n)$ whenever $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime. This question is from a Brazilian math competition: "Olimpíada Cearense de Matemática (OCM)".
Let $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ a function such that $f(mn) = f(m) + f(n)$ whenever $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime. A natural number $m$ is called a bottleneck of $f$ if $n<m \implies f(n) < f(m)$ and $n>m \implies f(n) > f(m)$. If $f$ has infinity bottlenecks, shows that it is a strictly increasing function.

A: A strictly increasing function with the given properties cannot exist. Choose $f(2)$, then choose $p$ such that $p$ is an odd number and $p>f(2).$ Now we have $f(2p)=f(2)+f(p).$ If $f$ was strictly increasing, then $f(p), f(p+1), f(p+2),\ldots,f(2p)$ would be $p+1$ different natural numbers, hence $f(2p)-f(p)\geq p.$ On the other hand, $f(2p)-f(p)=f(2)<p.$ We have a contradiction.

A: As pointed out in the comments, since $(1,1)=1$, one has $$f(1)=f(1\cdot 1)=f(1)+f(1) \implies f(1)=0.$$ Hence $f$ can't be strictly increasing because $$0<1 \implies f(0)<f(1) \implies f(0)<0,$$ and therefore $f(0) \notin \mathbb{N}$. A contradiction.

David Webb- Head Baseball Coach, Corona del Sol HS (AZ)
During this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I interviewed David Webb, Head Baseball Coach at Corona del Sol High School in Tempe, Arizona. David shares his vast knowledge of focusing on the mental game of baseball, building up players to get in touch with who they are, building a team culture of having a strong character, and why he doesn't talk to parents about playing time.
How did David Webb get involved in baseball coaching?
What are David's time restrictions and how does he work within them in fall training?
What are some different things that his team does for culture building?
What does David Webb talk to the parents of his players about?
How does he personally get to know his players?
How does he prepare assistant coaches to develop their skill-sets further to be head coaches one day?
What are some interview questions he asks during his hiring process?
What things are expected of players?
How does spring training typically unfold for Coach Webb?
When does David Webb get his bullpens in?
How does he handle a parent's complaint about their kid's lack of playing time?
Is there something that David Webb has learned lately that has him really excited?
What is something that David's players do in training that they love?
What is something that David Webb believes that other coaches may disagree with?
What are things done during David's training that would stand out to people?
What are some of David Webb's favorite books and resources that have benefited his coaching?
In late summer and early fall, David focuses on getting his players strong.
The "rebel" these days is the one choosing not to lower their standards and aims to have a true character by action, not just by their words.
Show assistant coaches that you value their time, and give them room to invest their time by letting them do their job.
"More is not necessarily better, especially when it comes to the mental side of things." – David Webb (08:48)
"I am all about building character and having a standards-driven program and building young men. The wins will come." – David Webb (09:43)
"One of the greatest things you can do for them (players) that gets them to realize there is some investment is, you get them to know who they really are." – David Webb (19:35)
"I am a huge watcher of players and mannerisms. Have they changed their mentality from day-to-day? And if I see anything, I will pull them aside and I will have conversations." – David Webb (22:11)
(On coaches) "Whether they are young or they are coming in and they are saying, 'I've been a head coach and I just want to be an assistant now, I'm tired of the parent dynamic,' or whatever, you got to let them coach.." – David Webb (28:36)
"The beginning of the year, the practice looks like a lot of situation play, a lot of fundamental individual work." – David Webb (46:32)
"My policy is, which is stated to parents in our Aztec Baseball 101 meeting, I don't talk playing time with parents." – David Webb (55:16)
"Using Twitter a lot and kind of getting on the same page with other coaches and see what they are doing on the mental side of the game. I'm really focused about that. So, anything mental is really very important to me." – David Webb (59:33)

TJ spells TDs
Posted: 12:10 a.m.
Houshmandzadeh: Go-to guy (Getty Images)
T.J. Houshmandzadeh is convinced if he didn't miss two games this season, he would be No. 2 in AFC receiving yards behind teammate Chad Johnson.
They are a mere 295 yards from breaking the Bengals record for wideout duos they set last season, and if you plug in his 61-yard game average for the two games he's missed, Houshmandzadeh would have 940 yards, 57 behind Chargers tight end Antonio Gates for No. 2. The real number is 796 with Houshmandzadeh proclaiming Chad-like Wednesday that he'll get to that 1,000-yard marker he missed by 22 last season.
But the absolute value of Houshmandzadeh's numbers are the four touchdown catches on third down, second in the NFL to only Larry Fitzgerald's five in Arizona. All have come in wins. Two broke ties. The one last week came with two seconds left in the third quarter and erased a deficit and gave the Bengals the lead for the first time all day. Meaning they only needed to kick a field goal instead of score a touchdown with no time left to beat the Browns, 23-20 in what amounted to the AFC North championship game.
NFL's LEADING TD RECEIVERS ON THIRD DOWN:
Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals 5 T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Bengals 4 Steve Smith, Panthers 3 Joey Galloway, Bucs 3 Anquan Boldin, Cardinals 3 Keenan McCardell, Chargers 3 Domanick Davis, Texans 3
"I want the ball. I feel like I can make a play," said Houshmandzadeh of operating in the tight confines of the red zone as well as a close game. "It comes down to knowing how to get open and knowing what the defense is going to do. You expect it, so you're not surprised when something happens. You're already anticipating what they're going to do."
Exhibit A came in the Gold-and-Black din of Heinz Field two weeks ago in the first AFC North championship game. With the Bengals suddenly in a shootout with the Steelers midway through the second quarter in a 14-14 push, they faced a third-and-five from the Steelers 6.
Houshmandzadeh's software kicked in. After the game, he said, "You know what that route is called? Get open."
But it was more than that. Offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski wouldn't have it any other way.
"Everything has to be very precise down there," Bratkowski said. "He's got a very good feel for the game. He's a smart guy. And he runs good, precise routes. When you score in those situations, that's really clutch."
This is what the software told Houshmandzadeh as he eyed the patch between Pro Bowl inside backer James Farrior and cornerback Deshea Townsend:
"It was a quarters defense. I knew they were going to bracket me inside out," Houshmandzadeh said. "I knew how far I could go inside before I went back outside and the guy would be there. I knew that."
It helped that a Pro Bowl quarterback delivered a strike just before Townsend could jump it. So while Houshmandzadeh read the defense, Palmer had to read Houshmandzadeh reading the defense. Which is why the software also says, "He needs protection on that play, and the only way you can make it is being on the same page."
Red Zone Success
Cincinnati's play in the red zone has been huge since kicker Shayne Graham missed a 30-yard field goal attempt on the first drive of the 27-13 loss to Pittsburgh on Oct. 23. Excluding one kneel down, the Bengals have gouged points out of the next 24 red-zone trips, 17 of them touchdowns for a 71-percent touchdown rate that would be second in the NFL if it was for a full season.
Running back Rudi Johnson has scored eight of those touchdowns on rushing plays and Houshmandzadeh is next with those three off third-down plays. (The other six: Chris Henry has two and fellow rookie wide receiver Tab Perry has one TD catch in the red zone, running back Chris Perry and tight end Reggie Kelly each have a TD catch and Palmer a TD run in the zone.)
"He's kind of a go-to guy inside the red zone, especially when teams are trying to shut Chad down, leaving him one-on-one," Palmer said of Houshmandzadeh. "Any time we get TJ one-on-one, that's the situation we want to be in offensively. He does a good job when he gets one-on-one, especially with linebackers. A lot of times, we get a good mismatch with TJ, whether it's a safety or linebacker, because he's a guy that's normally running routes on corners who do a good job of covering. And once you get a mismatch with him on somebody inside, that's an opportunity you want to take advantage of."
And, sometimes it's not as complicated as all that. Against Cleveland, one of the cornerbacks re-directed Johnson and Houshmandzadeh slid in the opening to execute the play called.
"That was simple," Houshmandzadeh said of the four-yard catch. "We could have run that all day."
Proving that last year was more than a salary drive, Houshmandzadeh's four-year, $12 million deal on the first day of free agency looks like the Cincinnati money with the most impact this side of the Second Congressional District. He's not craving for recognition, but the Pro Bowl vote for the four AFC receivers interests him.
"Who wouldn't want to go? I feel like I'd have a good shot, but it's hard for two receivers to go from the same team," he said. "Chad and Marvin Harrison are going. Hines Ward is going to go just because he's Hines Ward. My opinion, probably Reggie Wayne because he's done it two years in a row. He should go before Hines Ward, but the media talks about him."
Maybe there is hope for Houshmandzadeh at some point. Harrison and Wayne are on the same team, and Houshmandzadeh is delivering for a second year in a row.
Well enough that for the second straight year, Houshmandzadeh is flirting with making him and Johnson the first two Bengals wide receivers to have 1,000-yard seasons in the same year. Curtis-Collinsworth, Collinsworth-Brown, Brown-McGee, Pickens-Scott, Chad-Warrick never did that. In only seven seasons has the second receiver had the 796 yards Houshmandzadeh already has with three games to play.
"If I don't, I'm going to beat up Carson," Houshmandzadeh joked about 1,000. "No, I'm going to get it."
CLOSET BENGALS RECEIVER COMBOS TO 1,000 YARDS:
2004: Chad Johnson 1,274, T.J. Houshmandzadeh 978 1986: Cris Collinsworth 1,024, Eddie Brown 964 1985: Collinsworth 1,125, Brown 942 1994: Carl Pickens 1,127, Darnay Scott 866 1996: Pickens 1,180, Scott 833 1998: Pickens 1,023, Scott 817 1989: Tim McGee 1,211, Brown 814 2005: Johnson 1,161, Houshmandzadeh 796


The next big Windows update isn't expected to arrive until just over a year from now, but a fresh leak from inside Microsoft offers a taste of what's to come with the new operating system. Some internal marketing materials obtained by Re/code's Kara Swisher include a poster for Windows 9 "Threshold," though it doesn't really offer any specific details.
Instead, the alleged Windows 9 poster promises "a deeply personally, universally human way of operating." This might be our first look at the marketing push behind the new OS, which Microsoft notes isn't just "another operating system." There's also the highlighted words "Do great things," which sounds like a potential tagline for the software overhaul.
Based on recent rumors Windows 9 may focus on cleaning up after Windows 8 by getting rid of some of the software's least popular features and finally bringing back the beloved Start menu. The rumored "Threshold" update is also expected to create some unity across all of Microsoft's platforms though, including a simplified app store experience and a version of Cortana for desktop computers.
