Karol Sigda is as bright as he is troubled. He knows nearly every dinosaur and the era they came from, but gets so frustrated by handwriting that he struggles to complete book reports. The 8-year-old Berwyn resident already has developed plots for three more "Star Wars" sequels, but sometimes lacks the social skills to effectively communicate with his classmates and teachers. Sigda has Asperger syndrome, a high-functioning diagnosis within the autism spectrum of disorders.From an education standpoint, Sigda is problematic. He's years ahead of his classmates in many ways, but still occasionally throws tantrums or just shuts down if he feels bored. Rather than put Sigda and other children like him in special education classes, Havlicek Elementary School Principal Nancy Akin decided to try something new. Sigda and two other autistic third-grade boys were placed in a gifted program known simply as AIMS at the beginning of the most recent school year.
Objectives To determine the feasibility of implementing a broadband screen at the 1-year check-up to detect cases of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), language delay (LD), and developmental delay (DD). Study design The Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Profile Infant-Toddler Checklist was distributed at every 1-year pediatric check-up; 137 pediatricians and 225 infants participated. Screens were scored immediately, and failures referred for further evaluation. Results Pediatricians screened 10 479 infants at the 1-year check-up; 184 infants who failed the screen were evaluated and tracked. To date, 32 infants received a provisional or final diagnosis of ASD, 56 of LD, nine of DD, and 36 of "other." Five infants who initially tested positive for ASD no longer met criteria at follow-up. The remainder of the sample was false positive results. Positive predictive value was estimated to be .75. Conclusions The 1-Year Well-Baby Check-Up Approach shows promise as a simple mechanism to detect cases of ASD, LD, and DD at 1 year. This procedure offers an alternative to the baby sibling design as a mechanism to study autism prospectively, the results of which will enrich our understanding of autism at an early age.

Who Will Care For Dana?
Can An EEG Predict Autism Risk?
According to an article from WebMD.com, a new study from the researchers of BMC Medicine used a computer program to study and identify patterns in electrical brain activity, particularly the way nerve cells communicate, from the EEGs of 79 infants. Forty-six of the infants were considered at high risk for autism due to the diagnosis of the disorder in a sibling. Using the data from the computer program, the researchers were able to accurately identify 80% of the high risk infants.
"Use of school recess time in the education and treatment of children with autism spectrum disorders: A systematic review is, as you will see, a small study on what is a relatively unstudied area: recess as part of the educational day for autistic students. This caught my eye for a simple reason: I think a lot about recess. I think about special education kids, kids who are working really hard, who need the break that recess provides as much or more than anyone." Here is the abstract: School recess is an opportunity to include students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) with their typically developing peers and is a setting in which instruction can occur. However, the educational opportunities for children with ASD within recess are often overlooked and recess time is being reduced or eliminated in the United States. This review involved a systematic search and analysis of 15 studies that utilized recess to implement academic, social, or behavioral interventions for students with ASD. Each identified study that met pre-determined inclusion criteria was analyzed and summarized in terms of: (a) participant characteristics, (b) intervention procedures, (c) dependent variables, and (d) intervention outcomes. This review has three main aims: (a) to evaluate and synthesize the evidence-base, (b) to inform and guide teachers interested in utilizing recess time for educational purposes, and© to stimulate and guide future research in this area. Results demonstrate that recess time can indeed be used to teach target behaviors to students with ASD.
Despite the apparent criticisms of screening in Monday's article, study author Dr. Jan Willem Gorter said he and his co-authors were not specifically referring to "the surveillance that is happening in doctors' offices" at 18 and 24 months. They were recommending against a population-wide screening program that would require screening every child at a certain age level for autism, he said. Nobody is conducting such a study at this time in the United States. Last month, the CDC told CNN it was considering a total population study of autism, but no such study is currently underway. He said he and his co-authors based their suggestions on what they learned from children with cerebral palsy, and that his ultimate goal is to "find the children who truly have autism and find ways to help them." Screening isn't the only issue touched on in Monday's paper. The article also finds "little support for the effectiveness for speech and language therapy for people with autism," argues that "applied behavior intervention did not significantly improve the cognitive outcomes of children" and says that "screening is pointless, and almost certainly unethical."
Project SKIP is a practical, inexpensive process for screening children as young as two years for developmental delays and cognitive and mental health concerns – including autism spectrum disorders. Through its multi-layered approach, SKIP screens more comprehensively for issues, identifies why difficulties may be occurring, and provides the framework for designing effective, research-based interventions.
TV causes autism? I doubt it.
An article in Slate yesterday argued that TV watching causes autism. The Slate article is based on research done by Cornell economists Michael Waldman, Sean Nicholson, and Nodir Adilov. You can download the academic working paper here. The paper gives some theories why TV and autism might be linked, but the more interesting part of the paper is the data analysis. The researchers are trying to find a "natural experiment" that shifts around TV watching, but otherwise has no impact on whether a child is diagnosed as autistic. Rainfall is one of the things they use. In places where it rains a lot, kids watch more TV.
A Grand Unified Theory of Autism?
Earlier this month, a press release from Yale University announced: "Prevalence of Autism in South Korea Estimated at 1 in 38 Children". This estimate was considerably higher than recent UK studies (Baird et al, and Baron-Cohen et al). There are three possibilities: either children in South Korea are at unusually high risk of autism; previous studies have dramatically underestimated the prevalence of autism; or this new study gives an overestimate. The authors reject the first option and plump for the second. Their estimate, they maintain, is so high because they looked for children in mainstream schools, doing their own assessments of children detected on an initial screening questionnaire, rather than relying on existing diagnoses. Around two thirds of their cases of autism had not previously been diagnosed. This, they argue, is because an autism diagnosis is unpopular in South Korea since it is more likely to bring shame on the family than additional resources for the child (see my review of the senior author's book, Isabel's World). There is a problem, though. Asking how many children have autism is like asking how many children are intelligent. Everything hinges on definition, and the definition of autism is far from straightforward. Over the years, it has become increasingly clear that autism is not the all-or-none condition that Kanner had assumed.
A follow-up article on the flaws in the initial Korea study design.
Repetitive behaviors in those with autism have long been viewed as something to be eradicated. My own son's problems in school began with his teacher's intolerance for his incessant rocking and pencil tapping in class. These compulsions got him habitually thrown into the hall, and eventually out of school. But times are changing and so are attitude towards self stimulating or "stimming" activities.

Thor flushed, realizing he had said too much. He didn't know what to say.
"I was not alone," he said.
"And who were you with?"
Thor bit his tongue, not knowing how much to say. After all, this man was close to her father, the King, and perhaps he would tell.
"I don't see how that is relevant to the snake."
"It is entirely relevant. Have you not wondered if that is why the snake came to begin with?"
Thor was caught completely off guard.
"I don't understand," he said.
"Not every omen you see is meant for you. Some are meant for others."
Thor examined Argon in the dim light, starting to understand. Was Gwen fated for something evil? And if so, could he stop it?
"Can you change fate?" Thor asked.
Argon turned, slowly crossing his room.
"Of course, that is the question we have been asking for centuries," Argon replied. "Can fate be changed? On the one hand, everything is destined, everything is written. On the other hand, we have free will. Our choices also determine our fate. It seems impossible for these two—destiny and free will—to live together, side by side, yet they do. It is where these two intercede—where destiny meets free will—that human behavior comes into play.
Destiny can't always be broken, but sometimes it can be bent, or even changed, by a great sacrifice and a great force of free will. Yet most of the time, destiny is firm. Most of the time, we are just bystanders, put here to watch it play out. We think we play a part in it, but usually we don't. We are mostly observers, not participants."
"So then why does the universe bother showing us omens, if there's nothing we can do about them?" Thor asked.
Argon turned and smiled.
"You are quick, boy, I will give you that. Mostly, we are shown omens to prepare ourselves. We are shown our fate to give us time to prepare. Sometimes, rarely, we are given an omen to enable us to take action, to change what will be. But this is very rare."
"Is it true that the Whiteback foretells death?"
Argon examined him.
"It is," he said, finally. "Without fail."
Thor's heart pounded at the response, at the confirmation of his fears. He was also surprised by Argon's straightforward response.
"I encountered one today," Thor said, "but I don't know who will die. Or if there is some action I can take to prevent it. I want to put it out of my mind, but I cannot. Always, that image of the snake's head is with me. Why?"
Argon examined him a very long time, and sighed.
"Because whoever will die, it will affect you directly. It will affect your destiny."
Thor was increasingly agitated; he felt that every answer bred more questions.
"But that's not fair," Thor said. "I need to know who it is that will die. I need to warn them!"
Slowly, Argon shook his head.
"It may not be for you to know," he answered. "And if you do know, there may still be nothing you can do about it. Death finds its subject—even if someone is warned."
"Then why was I shown this?" Thor asked, tormented. "And why can't I get it from my head?"
Argon stepped forward, so close, inches away; the intensity of his eyes burned bright in this dim place, and it frightened Thor. It was like looking into the sun, and it was all he could do not to look away. Argon raised a hand and placed it on Thor's shoulder. It was ice to the touch and sent a chill through him.
"You are young," Argon said, slowly. "You are still learning. You feel things too deeply. Seeing the future is a great reward. But it can also be a great curse. Most humans who live out their destiny have no awareness of it. Sometimes the most painful thing is to be aware of your destiny, of what will be. You have not even begun to understand your powers. But you will. One day. Once you understand where you are from."
"Where I'm from?" Thor asked, confused.
"Your mother's home. Far from here. Beyond the Canyon, on the outer reaches of the Wilds. There is a castle, high up in the sky. It sits alone on a cliff, and to reach it, you walk along a winding stone road. It is a magical road—like ascending into the sky itself. It is a place of profound power. That is where you hail from. Until you reach that place, you will never fully understand. Once you do, all your questions will be answered."
Thor blinked, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself, to his amazement, standing outside Argon's dwelling. He had no idea how he got here.
The wind whipped through the rocky crag, and Thor squinted at the harsh sunlight. Beside him stood Krohn, whining.
Thor went back to Argon's door and pounded on it with all his might. There came nothing but silence in return.
"Argon!" Thor screamed.
He was answered only by the whistling of the wind.
He tried the door, even putting his shoulder to it—but it would not budge.
Thor waited a long time—he was not sure how long—until finally the day grew late. Finally, he realized that his time here was over.
He turned and began to walk back down the rocky slope, wondering. He felt more confused than ever, and also felt more certain that a death was coming—yet more helpless to stop it.As he hiked in that desolate place, he began to feel something cold on his ankles and saw a thick fog forming. It rose, growing thicker and rising higher by the moment. Thor did not understand what was happening. Krohn whined.
Thor tried to speed up, to continue his way back down the mountain, but in moments the fog grew so thick, he could barely see before his eyes. At the same time, he felt his limbs grow heavy, and, as if by magic, the sky grew dark. He felt himself growing exhausted. He could not take another step. He curled up in a ball on the ground, right where he stood, enveloped in the thick fog. He tried to open his eyes, to move, but he could not. In moments, he was fast asleep.
What do you think will happen to Thor? why did Argon refuse to tell Thor more about what he wants to know?, what's Argon relationship with Thor?

Chinnor Windmill - New Year's day 2015
Longstanding HSC member Geoff has been one of the team restoring Chinnor windmill over a good many years. Several HSC members combined a visit to the mill with a short country walk followed by a good pub meal. I think it had been the intention to extend the walk in the afternoon but the weather was not encouraging so I dont think this happened.
The mill with splendid new sails
This was our second visit to Chinnor mill and it was clear that there has been significant progress with the work - the mill now has sails which must be a good step forward. The team of volunteers working on the mill has a good web site here - this covers the history of the mill as well as the work that has been done to rebuild it after it was demolished during a 1960's housing development.
Base of the mill
I understand that the base of the mill is somewhat unusual in that it has six brick piers, most mills of this type would have had four. The building behind the mill to the right has appeared since our previous visit and will become a visitors centre once the mill is fully restored.
The windshaft
This is the current state of the machinery at the top of the mill. Geoff told us that the heavy iron windshaft is currently not quite in the right position so there is insufficient clearance for the sails to turn. The whole assembly will need to be eased back an inch or so using appropriate levers, ropes etc. All sounds good fun!
Weekend in Bristol 7-8 March
Bristol YHA
Bristol YHA is a converted former warehouse building right in the city centre, Richard took the above picture of it. The picture below is the view from outside the hostel - you can see that it is right on the waterfront. The Bristol dock area has been developed with trendy restaurants and a cinema, so there is plenty of nightlife in the vicinity. There are some interesting traditional sailing boats and sailing ships to be seen in the dock, and of course there is the museum ship SS Great Britain, which we did not have time to visit on this occasion. The tall crane in the picture was a mobile one, being used for bungie jumping. The two cranes to the left are original dockside cranes standing outside a warehouse which is now an industrial museum.
View from outside Bristol YHA
For our Saturday ramble we set off by car heading South East from Bristol towards Bath and parking at a hamlet called Swineford. The car park was once the site of an iron foundry and the artificial channel with a rushing flow of water that disappears into a culvert was once the supply of water for a water wheel to power the foundry. From Swineford we had a pleasant walk through Upton Cheyney to Wick for a pub lunch, then back by an alternative selection of footpaths. The countryside is pleasant rolling hills, I think this is the western extremity of the Cotswolds. The weather was sunny for most of our walk but it was getting chilly as we plodded the last mile or two back to the car park with the sun dropping to the horizon. We passed by the site of the battle of Lansdowne, 1643, and were able to read a bit about it on on an information board at the site - battle of Lansdown - Wikipedia entry.
Channel that once supplied water to foundry waterwheel at Swineford
On Sunday we explored Bristol city centre and the district of Clifton on foot. We had a steep climb up through the park on Brandon hill to reach the Cabot tower, then another climb up the spiral stairs within the 32m high tower. This certainly gave us a good overview of the city. We then took a look at the Clifton suspension bridge before going into Clifton itself to find a cafe for lunch. There had been intermittent rain during the day and returning from Clifton back towards the hostel Esin unfortunately slipped and fell badly on the steep wet pavement, breaking her ankle. The emergency services responded efficiently, an ambulance taking Esin to the emergency department in the city centre. Once X rays had been taken and a plaster fitted Geoff and Mark S. took her back to London, I think it must have been late at night when they all finally got home. I am sure we all wish Esin the quickest possible recovery although it will inevitably be some time before she will be fully mobile again.
Easter at High Close YHA 3-6 April
High Close YHA
High Close is in the centre of the English Lake District, at the lower end of the Langdale valley with walking access to both the high fells and to lower level walks around Grasmere and Rydal lakes. The picture above shows the large hostel. A distinctive feature is the balcony around the front of the building with views over the hostel gardens and beyond. Eight HSC members made the long journey to the lakes this Easter but only seven of us took part in the walks, Esin still having a plaster on her leg following her mishap at our previous outing to Bristol. Esin was able to rest up in the hostel during the day and she also managed to explore the extensive hostel grounds.
For our walk on Easter Saturday we made a circuit around both Rydal and Grasmere lakes. We passed to the south of Rydal water following the well made path known as Loughrigg Terrace. This passes the large cave, picture below, which I think is actually a disused slate quarry.
Disused quarry on Loughrigg Terrace
The 'tourist traps' at Rydal Hall and at Wordsworth's Dove Cottage seemed very busy on this suney bank holiday weekend but after a short wait we found a table for lunch outside a cafe in Grasmere.
Lunch in the sunshine at Grasmere
From Grasmere we returned to High Close Hostel by footpaths below the crags of Silver Howe and Dow Bank.
Our walk on Easter Sunday was a bit more strenuous than our amble round the lakes on Saturday. We set off accross the fells, heading in a north easterly direction from the hostel. We had a mist which at times limited visibilty to a hundred meters or so, but Mark and Richard between them managed to find a route over the fells with the aid of Richard's GPS gadget. It was a steady uphill walk, skirting round small crags and passing by small ponds and bogs.
Crossing the fells towards Stickle Tarn
Our first sight of Stickle Tarn was as below with the Langdale Pikes behind the tarn hidden in the mist. However, within a few minutes of that first picture being taken the sun burnt through the mist, revealing the view of the Langdale Pikes, as the second picture below.
The mist cleared, revealing the Langdale Pikes above Stickle Tarn
We spent a half hour relaxing by Stickle Tarn then followed the steep but well made path down to the National Trust pub/teashop at the head of Langdale valley. It was now a warm and suney day - there were plenty of cars in the Langdale car parks and plenty of walkers on the path up to Stickle Tarn.
By Stickle Tarn
Looking back up to Langdale Pikes from the valley
Returning to the hostel by a low level route.
A good Easter outing I think, worth the long drive up to the Lakes.


Colorado Health Officials Warn Residents of "Rabbit Fever"
Health officials in Colorado are warning people to stay away from sick or dead rabbits over fears of "rabbit fever," a potentially life-threatening disease. In even more troubling news, there's apparently a need for official reminders not to play with sick or dead rabbits.
According to CBS Colorado, there haven't yet been any confirmed human cases but officials in Jefferson County say that a rabbit in the southern part of the county has tested positive for the disease.
Tularemia, or rabbit fever–which contrary to its name can also be found in beavers and rodents, is a bacterial infection that can be spread through contact with sick or dead animals or through a bite from an infected flea or tick.
According to the CDC, symptoms from the Francisella tularensis bacteria include a high fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a sore where the bacteria entered the body, but it can also cause a sore throat, abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhea if the bacteria is ingested through eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
It can be treated with antibiotics if caught early, but it can be deadly if left untreated. The disease strikes about 140 Americans a year.

Q: Placing code in my Javascript array I have the following problem,
I have made a form with alot of input fields. Where if the user types a 1 it will show the price immediately next to it. My code for this is this:
var priceMargherita = 7;
    var numPizzaMargheritaInput = document.getElementById('countMargherita');
    var priceMargheritaLabel    = document.getElementById('totalMargherita');

    function onNumPizzaMargheritaInputChange(e){

        var totalMargherita = priceMargherita * parseInt(e.target.value);
        var formattedPrice = '\u20ac '+totalMargherita.toFixed(2);

        priceMargheritaLabel.innerHTML = '';
        priceMargheritaLabel.appendChild(document.createTextNode(formattedPrice));
    }
    numPizzaMargheritaInput.addEventListener('change', onNumPizzaMargheritaInputChange, false);

and it places the price like this:
Pizza Margherita
<input type="number" id="countMargherita" class="formnumbers" name="PizzaMargherita" onChange="validateForm(this)" min="1" max="99"/>

Now my problem is that i have 11 products like this Pizza Margherita. And at the moment i have 11 pieces of code like the top one. I think this can be done in an array since the only things that change are some names.
Correct me if i'm wrong since im nowhere experienced in JS nor Arrays.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

A: For me, the simplest way to do it is to NOT use arrays or ids.
If you can change the html, you should add the price as a data-attribute, and then you can have a generic code :
Pizza Margherita
<input type="number" class="formnumbers" name="PizzaMargherita"
           onChange="changeTotalFromCount(this)" min="1"
           max="99" data-unitPrice="7" />

JS :
function changeTotalFromCount(input) {
    var unitPrice = parseFloat(input.getAttribute("data-unitPrice"));
    var count = input.value;

    var price = unitPrice * count;
    var formattedPrice = '\u20ac ' + price.toFixed(2);

    var label = input.parentNode.nextElementSibling;
    label.innerHTML = '';
    label.appendChild(document.createTextNode(formattedPrice));
}

A: Rather than arrays, I think the word you're looking for is loops. Here is a way to factor your program using an object and a loop:
var prices = {
  Margherita: 7,
  Hawaiian: 7,
  NewYork: 8
};

for (var pizzaType in prices) {
  var inputElement = document.getElementbyId('count' + pizzaType);
  var labelElement = document.getElementbyId('total' + pizzaType);

  inputElement.addEventListener('change', function(event) {
    var total = prices[pizzaType] * parseInt(event.target.value);
    var formattedPrice = '\u20ac ' + total.toFixed(2);

    labelElement.innerHTML = '';
    labelElement.appendChild(document.createTextNode(formattedPrice));
  }, false);
}

I chose to use an anonymous function instead of a named one, as this is the most common practice with event listeners.

A: An array isn't the most efficient way to solve the problem. You'd be better off with a more generalised function that has the necessary information (the event, the price, and the ID of the element to display the price) as parameters. Then use an array of objects to initialise everything. Something like this:
var pizzas = [
    {
        pizza: 'margherita',
        price: 7,
        input: 'countMargherita',
        label: 'totalMargherita'
    },
    {
        pizza: 'pepperoni',
        price: 10,
        input: 'countPepperoni',
        label: 'totalPepperoni'
    }
]

function calculatePrice(e, price, label) {
    var total = price * parseInt(e.target.value);
    var formattedPrice = '\u20ac '+total.toFixed(2);

    var outputElement = document.getElementById(label);
    outputElement .innerHTML = '';
    outputElement .appendChild(document.createTextNode(formattedPrice));
}

Then iterate over that pizzas array to bind everything up:
for(var i = 0, l = pizzas.length; i < l; i++) {
    (function(pizza) {
        document.getElementById(pizza.input).addEventListener('change', function(e) {
            calculatePrice(e, pizza.price, pizza.label);
        }, false);
    })(pizzas[i]);
}

The above uses a closure to avoid issues due to JavaScript's variable scoping; i is scoped to the function scope since there isn't block-level scoping. Since the event handler is essentially a deferred action, the value of i when that executes will also be the last value of i if you don't use one.

A: Make a more generic function for calculating your price, like onNumPizzChange which takes the base element name, e.g. 'Margherita'. In this function, extract your element like
var inputElm = document.getElementById('count'+elmBase);

then set up your events by wrapping this function with another like so:
document.getElementById('numPizzaMargheritaCount').addEventListener('change', function(){ onNumPizzaChange('Margherita')}, false);

Does that make sense?
Good luck!

Q: Accessing symfony 1.4 URL using CLI Terminal in Ubuntu Can anyone tell me, how to access an action URL of symfony using terminal in ubuntu?
For Example:
http://mysymfonyproject.com/index.php/users/sendnewsletter

Same way, I want to set up an action class URL as cron job. Is it possible to set up cron jobs in symfony?
For Example:
 http://mysymfonyproject.com/index.php/crons/sendnewsletter

A: I think a Symfony Task is what you should look into. There's a lot of built-in tasks, but you probably should write your own task and then call it from cli using a command:
php symfony yourTaskNamespace:yourTaskName

Then you can add such command as a regular cronjob task.
You can check detailed instruction how to create custom Symfony tasks at Documentation Page

A: Using tasks is the best solution (as Tomasz Madeyski suggested). Just be aware that the tasks work a bit differently than the web app (e.g. read about using sfContext in tasks)
You can also use curl to access your sf pages directly from CLI:
curl -sS  http://mysymfonyproject.com/index.php/crons/sendnewsletter >> mylog.log

The -sS option will make curl silent unless there's an error. You can skip that if you don't need it.
The last part (>> mylog.log) will append the result of the request to the log file (it's best if you specify whole path to the log file)
As for setting the cron job it's fairly easy no matter if you use curl or sf tasks. Have a look around the web for a tutorial on setting the crontab, there's plenty of them out there.

Fortnite Battle Royale Review
Fortnite Review: The Modern Marvel of a Game
Professional Review Professional review Hannah Paul 112 reviews on GamesMojo
Fortnite is a free-to-play survival shooter game created and rolled out by Epic Games in 2017. Battle Royale is one of the three Fortnite game mode versions that are based on a similar concept. The 'battle royale' game style implies the last man standing concept that is clearly seen in Fortnite. While playing the game, your mission is to become the last Rambo standing by hiding, shooting and eventually outliving 100 other characters.
The game is available on any device. You can download Fortnite Battle Royale on PC, Mac, Xbox One, Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, iPhone, Android and across other mobile gadgets.
Graphics 5/5
Compared to the solid, realistic visuals of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (a similar battle royale game that inspired the Fortnite concept), Fortnite Battle Royale for PC has really bright, humorously cartoonish graphics and child-friendly aesthetic. In addition to this, players can dress their characters in space suits as well as in rabbit and dinosaur costumes. Moreover, while playing Fortnite, you can even make your players dance. Even though visually Fortnite stands out from the rest video games of its genre, it's definitely a charm visual-wise.
Gameplay 5/5
Fortnite Battle Royale gameplay is very similar to its predecessors: 100 players skydive onto a small island and start looking for gear defending themselves from other players. You can fight alone, with one extra player or with friends (up to 3 people), hence the Solo, Duos or Squads modes. As you progress, the playable island area slowly constricts, which gives you less and less territory to fight on. The last player (or squad) alive gains victory.
Battle Royale offers seasonal approach introducing various tweaks and customizations on a steady basis. For instance, Fortnite Season 9 has just arrived across all platforms. The update features a new battle pass, visual changes as well as other enhancements within the game concept. Generally speaking, Fortnite is like Hunger Games mixed with Call of Duty. The fact that the Fortnite gameplay lacks extremely violent visuals greatly contributes to its child-friendliness.
Controls 5/5
The default controls in Fortnite for mouse and keyboard leave much to be desired. They are not optimised for building, which is one of the key parts of the gameplay. Luckily, you can easily fix that. Generally speaking, Fortnite has fairly complex console and PC controls which are now successfully adapted to a smaller (smartphone) screen. The mobile controls scheme of the Fortnite game features virtual buttons on the gadget's touchscreen. Fortnite mobile controls differ from those of the console and PC so much that even the most enthusiastic Fortnite fans have to learn mobile controls from scratch.
Replay Value 5/5
With the game's ever-shifting entity and limitless freedom of possibilities, we can easily say that the Fortnite Battle Royale replay value is infinite. In fact, if you have kids who fancy this game, one thing you may often notice is that they can't get enough of playing it. A lot of adults can relate to this feeling too, by the way. Wondering why the Fortnite replay value is so high? Oh well, it's all simple: Fortnite is just more fun than most other games.
Fortnite has almost perfected the Battle Royale genre and incorporated a touch of its own. Fortnite Battle Royale game has drawn over 125 million players in less than a year since its release date cementing itself as a cultural marvel. So if you're up for playing the most popular battle royale game on Earth, you're welcome to finish reading our Fortnite review and access the Fortnite free to play battle royale mode right away.

War and love could be said to be polar opposites. However, in the film "A Very Long Engagement (2004) by French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the two intertwine, as the main character, Mathilde, a young woman with polio, begins a search for her lost love, a French soldier who was sent into No-Man's Land by French authorities with four others, when they all tried, in various ways, to go A.W.O.L. Taking place after the war, the film mixes the cultural milieu of post-World War I France with gruesome scenes of trench warfare, revealing the emergence of a decided anti-war sentiment, which Mueller contends is a product of late 19th century and post world war I shifts in cultural consciousness.
Prior to the 19th century war was seen as inevitable, a part of life. By the end of the 19th century, those who still proposed war as a positive, enriching experience, believed any war that would be fought would be characterized by the achievement of brevity: two or three month long wars at the max would be all that would be required to achieve its aims.

[...] The name of the trench where the five convicted deserters are sent is entitled Bingo Crepuscular which is, from an artistic point of view, an indication of the way in which the director draws smartly from post World War I artistic culture, in particular the DADA sensibility that began in Zurich before the war was completely over, as well as the photo-collages and paintings of European expressionist artists, from John Heartfield to Otto Dix to Kollowitz. (Apel, 1997) The character of the cook, who we see both in the gruesome sequences in the trenches, and in the aftermath of the war, when he appears as an eclectic bohemian in suspenders, riding a Harley motorcycle, is an icon of resistance and a solid heterosexual masculine representation. [...]
[...] (Mueller: One question that would be worth further study and pursuit is whether the intertwined themes of war and love, as oppositional states, one of death and emptiness, the second of hope and brightness, is truly a post world war I thematic development in culture, a way of society's artists and thinkers, putting into artistic form this switch away from celebration of war to another set of images: war as necessity under circumstances, a fight of right against wrong, but with war itself no longer romanticized as it used to be. [...]
[...] The striking contrasts between horrific violence in battlefields where the war seems completely purposeless, juxtaposed to deep purposeful spirituality and ideas of cultural resistance in peacetime, and resistance by those in the battlefield during the war itself, recreate or rethink the period in a way that is meant for audiences to grasp personal and collective responses to intense horror and disruption of normal life at the end of the 1st world war as a universal expression of a continuing desire for world peace. [...]
[...] From an explosion in a makeshift hospital that kills everyone locked in it, to visceral images of carnage on the battlefield, the sweetness of chocolate, as representative of life in peacetime, acts as a symbol of an alternative way of viewing the world Significant anti-war protest, as found in the arts of the post-world war European avant-garde, emerge, in part out of the war-ravaged imaginations of actual once delirious artists who had survived the debacle, many of them, especially the men, having served in the war and in the trenches. [...]
[...] Mueller contends that it is not the extent of brutality of the 1st world war that led to an aversion to war in its aftermath. He remarks that throughout history, all wars have been fought with a view to hacking and annihilating as many of the enemy as possible, with many previous wars more bloody and destructive in contrast to the 1st world war, which for one example, created the Red Cross as an organization to help the wounded rather than leaving them, as had been the usual in the past, to die on battlefields, after being stripped of all of their material possessions.

Inuit Call for Justice, Action in Private Encounter with Pope Francis
By Patricia D'SouzaMarch 28, 2022 No Comments
March 28, 2022, The Vatican
Inuit delegates expressed sorrow and strength during a historic one-hour meeting with Pope Francis in his private office at the Vatican today. In particular National Inuit Leader Natan Obed called for specific actions by Pope Francis to advance reconciliation with Inuit In Canada.
The seven delegates, including Obed, expressed their interest in beginning work with Pope Francis in his role as head of the Catholic Church, towards the shared goal of reconciliation for past and ongoing harms and human rights violations caused by the Church, its clergy, and officials affiliated with the Church.
"Lasting reconciliation between Inuit and the Church can only be achieved through substantive actions led and directed by Pope Francis, and that provide redress for past harms and crimes committed by the Church and its representatives, as well as actions that create opportunities for healing among individuals, families and communities harmed by the Church," Obed told the Pontiff during the encounter, which included participation from a number of Inuit individuals chosen by bishops in the Arctic to contribute personal and community-based calls for change.
Inuit, as with other Indigenous peoples, continue to struggle against the forces of colonialism and colonization that have eroded our language and culture, dispossessed us of parts of our spirituality and traditional territory, and caused significant social and economic challenges within our communities.
Below is an excerpt from President Obed's remarks
Harm has been inflicted in by residential schools administered by the Catholic Church including through cultural oppression, physical and sexual abuse, and the erosion of our language, spirituality and culture.
The Church has continued to harm Inuit by refusing to act in good faith in fulfilling its obligations under the 2006 Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement, which obligates the Church to undertake specific actions to advance reconciliation between Inuit and other indigenous peoples and the Church.
Harm has also been inflicted by sexual predators within the Church who used their power and positions of influence within Inuit communities to prey upon and sexually abuse Inuit children and youth. The Church needs to do more to bring perpetrators of sexual violence to justice.
Inuit humbly request that Pope Francis undertake the following actions:
As per Call to Action 58 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, deliver an apology in Canada to Inuit survivors of residential schools administered by the Catholic Church, including the Turquetil Hall residential school in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut, and Grollier Hall in Inuvik, Northwest Territories.
Direct the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops to fulfill both the spirit and letter of the Church's legal obligations under the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement.
This includes immediate payment of $25 million in financial restitution to survivors of residential school.
It also means to providing complete and immediate access to relevant documents in the Church's possession that are necessary to identify Inuit children who may have died while at residential schools administered by the Church, and who need to be posthumously reunited with their families and communities.
The Church must commit to working with police, governments and Inuit to bring about justice for survivors of abuse and their families. Johannes Rivoire, an Oblate who sexually abused Inuit children in several Inuit communities, should be brought to justice.
In particular, I would ask you in your capacity as the head of the Catholic Church, to speak with Johannes Rivoire and direct him to return to Canada to stand trial for the harms he has done.
I understand that this action may not be successful, for many reasons. In that event, I would ask you to use your influence with the relevant authorities in France to have Rivoire extradited to Canada or tried in France.
I call on you as both the head of the Catholic Church and the head of state of one of strongest seats of power in the world, to do what is right, what is just, what is needed, and what is entirely within your power as Pontiff.

In a recent letter from Dr. Alexander Hannenberg to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the ASA urged the Agency to not finalize its proposal to expand the number of hospitals eligible for rural pass-through payments until anesthesiologists are also eligible to receive such payments. The plan, which was included in the Agency's proposed rule regarding the inpatient prospective payment systems (IPPS), would allow certain hospitals that have been "reclassified" as rural hospitals under existing rules, to also be eligible to use Medicare Part A funds to pay for the services of nurse anesthetists.
ASA objected to this expansion until all anesthesia providers were eligible for similar payments and urged CMS to make the regulatory change or recommend that Congress take action to fix the current disparity.

News of the Day: Perry v. Duoyuan Printing, Inc.
My colleague Dan Lyne called to my attention Perry v. Duoyuan Printing, Inc., a putative class action in the Southern District of New York alleging securities fraud against a Chinese company whose stock trades in the US and is registered with the SEC. According to the Complaint, Duoyuan Printing made an initial public offering in 2009 and raised $42 million. Its registration statement included financial results for the prior three fiscal years. The plaintiffs allege that the financial results stated in the registration statement were fraudulent. In 2010, according to the complaint, Duoyuan dismissed its accountants, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu CPA Ltd., and reorganized its top management. Its CEO, CFO, and four directors resigned after the dismissal of Deloitte. The stock plunged by more than 50% in price.
[The plaintiffs'] arguments prompted [Judge George] Daniels to ask some pointed questions of the company's lawyer, Joel Mitnick of Sidley Austin.
"I want to know whether you will be helpful in this matter or stand in their way?" Daniels queried Mitnick.
"I think neither," responded Mitnick.
Mitnick added that the company didn't have any legal obligation to help provide the information to the plaintiffs.
"You have the opportunity, but maybe not the obligation," retorted Daniels.
The judge told the plaintiffs' lawyer to make additional efforts to uncover the addresses, but he said he would consider alternative means of service if necessary.
If I may editorialize for a minute, I question whether Duoyuan's approach is really sensible. Assuming that Duoyuan itself has been properly served with process (it is unclear to me as yet whether Duoyuan itself is going to challenge service of process), it seems highly likely that Duoyuan would be compelled to provide the addresses of its officers and directors in response to an interrogatory. And if for some reason the plaintiffs can't get the addresses that way or through other diligent efforts, it seems highly likely that the court would authorize alternate methods of service, such as service on Duoyuan's US offices. Even if the plaintiffs had the officers and directors' Chinese addresses, they would likely end up attempting service via the Hague Service Convention, which might take longer than it will take the plaintiffs to persuade the court that they can't get the addresses and to obtain an order for alternate means of service. So aside from high-minded questions such as whether it's good for the administration of justice to employ what is probably only a delaying tactic, there's a not-so-high-minded question: given that ultimately the plaintiffs are likely to be able to serve process, and given that it might take them just as long to effect service if they had the addresses, is it worth possibly angering the judge over this issue?
One follow-up: the Hague Service Convention does not apply at all when the defendant's address is unknown. So if the Court does authorize alternate service, the Chinese individual defendants will not be able to argue that the plaintiff should have served them under the Convention, nor in the event of a default judgment will they be able to claim the protections the Convention provides to defendants who have defaulted without appearing.


I baked these gorgeous Saffron Buns for St. Lucy Day, which is tomorrow! Saint Lucia (or Saint Lucy) is a symbol of hope and light in dark times.
In Sweden, St. Lucia marks the beginning of the Christmas season and it all starts with a young girl crowned with fresh greens and lit candles. Guess what she is carrying? Right! A delicious tray filled with these spectacular spiral buns!
The saffron buns are not too sweet and are soft and fluffy from the eggs and butter. The name Lussekatter means "Lucia's cats" and it's because the spiral shape sort of resembles a cat's tail.
I had a chance to study in France during part of my university studies. There were students there from all over the world. It was on December 13th in the South of France that I learned about Saint Lucia. The Swedish students there announced that we should all meet in the courtyard to see their procession. I wasn't sure what to expect and it was amazing to see all these fair haired beauties come out one after the other dressed in white gowns with a red sash tied around their waists. We moved into the recreation area and watched as they gathered together to sing.
"Every year on Saint Lucia's Day pupils from my city's Swedish school came to our school. A girl, Lucia, led the beautiful procession of young girls dressed in white gowns holding a single candle each. She wore a white cotton gown and a red sash was tied around her waist. On her head, she wore a crown of candles and in her hands she held a single candle. And all along they sang this beautiful song, luciasången.
" Santa Lucia is celebrated all over Italy. Sicilians still commemorate Santa Lucia's intervention during a severe famine in 1582. Miraculously, ships filled with grain appeared in the harbor on December 13. The people were so hungry that they didn't take the time to grind the grain into flour but boiled the grains immediately. Sicilians refuse to eat anything made of wheat flour for this day, which means forgoing pasta and bread. Instead they eat a most popular dish called cuccia which is made with boiled whole wheat berries, ricotta and sugar."On St. Lucy's Day in Sweden they eat these lovely saffron buns and in Sicily they eat the wheat berry dish called cuccia.
The spiral buns are not that hard to put together. I followed along King Arthur Flour's tutorial here. I used the buttery brioche dough I just love and added a bit of saffron to it. I happened to have some raisins soaking in grand marnier from another recipe I recently made. You could soak your raisins even in orange juice for about a 1/2 hour before using them for the recipe if you do not have any type of liqueur on hand.
The dough is cut into 12 pieces and I weighed them to all be about 90 grams.
Once you have them portioned out, you flatten them and them roll them into spirals.
They should roll out to be about 13 inch long ropes, and then they bounce back a little. As they describe on King Arthur Flour's site, you "don't want to bully the dough." Let it rest a little covered if it doesn't seem like it's ready to roll out.
You form them into the spirals and place them on the baking sheet. Leave a little space between them because they do expand a little while baking.
Tuck the raisins into each end. (I had some pearl sugar on hand and tossed it on some of the spirals, but I do know that is not traditionally Swedish).
After you let them rise for about 30 minutes, you then brush with the egg wash and let them bake.
I found this on a lovely Scandinavian blog and it described exactly what I saw and the song they sang. Find out about her story here .
Photos and text updated from Dec. 2014.
These St. Lucy Saffron Buns (St. Lucia Saffron Buns) are traditionally served for breakfast on Lucia Day, in mid-December. The saffron-hued buns are mildly sweet, but feel free to add a little more sugar if you have a sweet tooth. Decorated with raisins and sometimes just pearl sugar, the perfect addition for your hot latte!
Add 1 Tablespoon of the sugar and the saffron; let stand until foamy (about 5 minutes). Beat in the remaining sugar, eggs and butter. Beat in cooled milk. Gradually add the flour and salt, scraping down side of bowl, until a soft dough forms.
Divide dough into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a 13"-long rope. Form each rope into an S shape and then roll each end into a tight spiral.
Place shaped dough pieces 2" apart on parchment paper–lined baking sheets; cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
While the spirals are rising, heat the oven to 350F.
When ready to bake, place a raisin in the center of each of the spirals.
Brush on the egg wash. (I happened to have pearlized sugar on hand and tossed some on a few of the spirals, but I know that is not how they are traditionally made in Sweden).
Bake until buns are golden brown and cooked through, about 15-18 minutes. Transfer buns to a wire rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Abstract: Yellow pages search is a popular service that provides a means for finding businesses close to particular locations. The efficient search of yellow pages is becoming a rapidly evolving research area. The underlying data maintained in yellow pages search engines are typically labeled according to Standard Industry Classification (SIC) categories, and users can search yellow pages with categories according to their interests. Categorizing yellow pages queries into a subset of topical categories can help to improve search experience and quality. However, yellow pages queries are usually short and ambiguous. In addition, a yellow pages query taxonomy is typically organized by a hierarchy of a fairly large number of categories. These characteristics make automatic yellow pages query categorization difficult and challenging. In this article, we propose a flexible yellow pages query categorization approach. The proposed technique is built based on a TF-IDF similarity taxonomy matching scheme that is able to provide more accurate query categorization than previous keyword-based matching schemes. To further improve the categorization performance, we design several filtering schemes. Through extensive experimentation, we demonstrate encouraging results. We obtain F1 measures of about 0.5 and 0.3 for categorizing yellow pages queries into 19 coarse categories and 244 finer categories, respectively. We investigate different components in the proposed approach and also demonstrate the superiority of our approach over a hierarchical support vector machine classifier. © 2012 ACM 1533-5399/2012/03-ART16 $10.00.

When you think of going to the dentist, do you feel your pulse rising? Do you tense up at the thought of sitting in that chair and hearing the sound of the drill as your dentist goes to work on your cavities? First of all, you're not alone. According to one article, one in four people fear going to the dentist, but you don't have to live in fear. There are actually quite a few ways to overcome your dental anxiety, and the best dentists provide a lot of options to help you out, too.
Before we get into how to get over your fear of visiting the dentist, though, let's discuss some of the leading causes of dental phobias. After all, it's much easier to handle a phobia if you understand its underlying causes.
Most people who report intense anxiety or fear when they visit the dentist say that they are afraid of feeling pain. With advancements in anesthetics and sedation dentistry, there's no reason to be afraid of feeling pain when you're in the dentist's chair, but past experiences can have compelling and lasting effects. Thus, the real cause for a lot of patients who suffer from this phobia is carryover from a bad experience at the dentist's office when they were younger.
Others experience fear of the dentist because they fear the loss of control associated with letting someone else perform invasive procedures on their teeth. They know logically that their dentist will do everything in his or her power to make the procedure as comfortable and quick as possible, but they have problems giving up control and trusting their dentist to perform these tasks.
As a result of these issues, many people avoid visiting the dentist for months or even years when they know that they should be making regular appointments. They avoid getting their teeth cleaned because they feel anxious about visiting the dentist. Then they continue avoiding the dentist because they fear that they've developed cavities and will need to have them filled or worse. Unfortunately, this can continue until major dental work is needed, which can be both expensive and uncomfortable. So what can you do to stop the cycle?
If you have a severe phobia of visiting the dentist, you can help yourself a great deal by seeking support from your friends and family. Talk to someone close to you about your fear, and ask them if they would be willing to go with you to your appointment to support you. You can also find information and support online at Dental Fear Center, a website dedicated to helping people overcome their fear and anxiety about visiting the dentist.
This website has a number of helpful resources, including a forum that allows people like you to voice their fears and discuss the ways they've overcome them. It also includes a step-by-step guide for people who are too anxious to even begin looking for a dentist, as well as an FAQ about dentistry to help you understand different procedures, how they are performed, and measures taken to help you feel more comfortable. The more you know, the more confident you'll feel when you find a dentist and begin the process of getting your teeth and gums clean and healthy.
Next, whether you're visiting a new dentist for the first time or you're making your first appointment in some time with your old dentist, call ahead and see if you can schedule a consultation appointment. When you go in for this visit, your dentist will not perform any procedures. The two of you will discuss your fears and the work that you need done.
At this time, your dentist should explain the procedures associated with getting your teeth and gums back in good health. They should also discuss any anxiety-reducing options that they offer. For example, many dentists now provide pillows and blankets, and music and/or television in their exam rooms, as well as sedation dentistry options to help you feel relaxed and calm throughout your visit.
During your consultation your dentist may perform a brief oral exam, if you are comfortable enough to have this done. If not, this can be saved for your next visit. Even if you are not able to have an oral exam performed, this visit should give you the tools necessary to come to your next appointment.
For patients who simply cannot overcome their feelings of anxiety and fear when they arrive at the dentist's office, more and more dental practices in Burlington, and all over Ontario, are offering sedation dentistry options. Practices like Dental Health Group offer their patients a range of sedation options, depending on their needs.
These options range from minimal sedation, in which case the patient will be awake but will feel calmer than they would otherwise, to general anesthesia, in which case the patient will be unconscious throughout the procedure(s) performed during the visit.
If you're feeling mildly to moderately anxious, you may choose nitrous oxide (which is inhaled) or an oral sedative like Triazolam. With nitrous, you will be awake and will remember the whole experience, but you will feel a mild sense of euphoria throughout. With Triazalom or Valium, you will take your sedative before your appointment, and while you will be awake throughout, you will be moderately sedated and will have little to no memory of any procedures performed during your appointment.
With intravenous sedation, you will usually be conscious but heavily sedated throughout your appointment, whereas with general anesthesia you will be unconscious. If you choose any of these options, you will be closely monitored throughout your appointment to ensure that you are safe and that there is no danger to your health.
There's no need to fear going to the dentist. Through sedation dentistry options and support from friends, family, and other people with dental phobias, you can get through your anxiety, go to the dentist with confidence, and feel great about your smile again.

Q: Frequency list of each column in a table I have table that looks like this:
r01 r02 r03 r04
1   2   X   X
1   2   X   1
X   1   2   1
X   2   2   2
1   2   1   X
1   1   1   2
1   X   1   1
1   2   X   1
2   2   X   2

And I would like to get a frequency array list for each column (not row), similar to array_count_values(). Like
r01: 1 => 6, X => 2, 2 => 1
r02: 1 => 2, X => 1, 2 => 6
r03: 1 => 3, X => 4, 2 => 2
r04: 1 => 4, X => 2, 2 => 3

Is it possible to to with one or a few mysql questions? I have not come up with and idea. The only solution I has is to get all data to PHP and then have a data array and just add a one to corresponding counter for each row.
I can have 100->20000 rows. So I would like to have a mysql solution that scales better that a PHP solution.
-- Edit
I was displaying a simplified table structure but I think I need to show the full table.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tips_rows` (
  `row_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `r01` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r02` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r03` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r04` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r05` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r06` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r07` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r08` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r09` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r10` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r11` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r12` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  `r13` enum('1','X','2') NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`row_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

And tips_rows contains all combinations of the values. (1,6 million rows) And to this I have a link table connection user to tips_rows, ´tips_rows_users´
So this link table would hold for a number of users a data set of 100-10000 row_id for each user.
I have found one solution base on other stackoverflow googling. Maybe not the purest query but it works and is fast.
 SELECT
    SUM(CASE WHEN r01 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r11,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r01 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r1X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r01 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r12,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r02 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r21,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r02 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r2X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r02 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r22,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r03 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r31,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r03 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r3X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r03 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r32,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r04 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r41,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r04 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r4X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r04 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r42,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r05 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r51,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r05 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r5X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r05 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r52,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r06 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r61,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r06 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r6X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r06 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r62,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r07 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r71,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r07 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r7X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r07 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r72,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r08 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r81,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r08 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r8X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r08 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r82,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r09 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r91,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r09 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r9X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r09 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r92,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r10 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r101,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r10 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r10X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r10 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r102,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r11 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r111,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r11 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r11X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r11 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r112,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r12 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r121,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r12 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r12X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r12 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r122,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r13 = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r131,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r13 = 'X' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r13X,
    SUM(CASE WHEN r13 = '2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS r132
    FROM `tips_rows` AS r
    INNER JOIN tips_rows_users USING (row_id)
    WHERE user__id='{userid}'

This will give me one result row as
r11 r1X r12 r21 r2X r22 r31 r3X r32 r41 r4X r42 r51 r5X r52 r61 r6X r62 r71 r7X r72 r81 r8X r82 r91 r9X r92 r101 r10X r102 r111 r11X r112 r121 r12X r122 r131 r13X r132
40  34  26  48  30  22  69  14  17  70  16  14  15  17  68  28  31  41  80  20  0   49  29  22  38  30  32  69   16   15   29   28   43   19   31   50   13   25   62

And that I can use in my php-template file.

A: Try this::
Select 'R01', r01, count(1) from myTable group by r01
UNION
Select 'R02', r02, count(1) from myTable group by r02
UNION
Select 'R03', r03, count(1) from myTable group by r03
UNION
Select 'R04', r04, count(1) from myTable group by r04

A: Assuming only 4 columns and 3 possible values per column, and if you really want your result presented as "one column per value":
SELECT 'R01' AS 'Row', SUM(IF(r01 = 1, 1, 0)) as '1',
                       SUM(IF(r01 = 2, 1, 0)) as '2',
                       SUM(IF(r01 = 'X', 1, 0)) as 'X'
       FROM myTable
UNION  SELECT 'R02', SUM(IF(r02 = 1, 1, 0)) as '1',
                       SUM(IF(r02 = 2, 1, 0)) as '2',
                       SUM(IF(r02 = 'X', 1, 0)) as 'X'
       FROM myTable
UNION  SELECT 'R03', SUM(IF(r03 = 1, 1, 0)) as '1',
                       SUM(IF(r03 = 2, 1, 0)) as '2',
                       SUM(IF(r03 = 'X', 1, 0)) as 'X'
       FROM myTable

UNION  SELECT 'R04', SUM(IF(r04 = 1, 1, 0)) as '1',
                       SUM(IF(r04 = 2, 1, 0)) as '2',
                       SUM(IF(r04 = 'X', 1, 0)) as 'X'
       FROM myTable

Producing:
+------+----+----+---+
| ROW  | 1  | 2  | X |
+------+----+----+---+
| R01  | 6  | 1  | 2 |
| R02  | 2  | 6  | 1 |
| R03  | 3  | 2  | 4 |
| R04  | 4  | 3  | 2 |
+------+----+----+---+

See http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/c6376/2

If pivoting the result table is acceptable, the following query will perform much better:
SELECT n,
       SUM(IF(r01 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r01',
       SUM(IF(r02 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r02',
       SUM(IF(r03 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r03',
       SUM(IF(r04 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r04'
FROM mytable JOIN (SELECT '1' AS n UNION SELECT '2' UNION SELECT 'X') S
GROUP BY n;

Resulting in:
+----+------+------+------+-----+
|    | R01  | R02  | R03  | R04 |
+----+------+------+------+-----+
| 1  |   6  |   2  |   3  |   4 |
| 2  |   1  |   6  |   2  |   3 |
| X  |   2  |   1  |   4  |   2 |
+----+------+------+------+-----+

A: Thanks for all the different solution. I have now done some testing on my data. I have done a query for 10000rows. And here is my findings.
Solution 1:
Select 'R01', r01, count(1) FROM `tips_rows` AS r INNER JOIN tips_rows_users USING (row_id) WHERE user_id='27' group by r01
UNION
Select 'R02', r02, count(1) FROM `tips_rows` AS r INNER JOIN tips_rows_users USING (row_id) WHERE user_id='27' group by r02
UNION
Select 'R03', r03, count(1) FROM `tips_rows` AS r INNER JOIN tips_rows_users USING (row_id) WHERE user_id='27' group by r03
UNION
Select 'R04', r04, count(1) FROM `tips_rows` AS r INNER JOIN tips_rows_users USING (row_id) WHERE user_id='27' group by r04
UNION
Select 'R05', r05, count(1) FROM `tips_rows` AS r INNER JOIN tips_rows_users USING (row_id) WHERE user_id='27' group by r05
UNION
Select 'R06', r06, count(1) FROM `tips_rows` AS r INNER JOIN tips_rows_users USING (row_id) WHERE user_id='27' group by r06

UNION
Select 'R11', r11, count(1) FROM `tips_rows` AS r INNER JOIN tips_rows_users USING (row_id) WHERE user_id='27' group by r11

UNION
Select 'R13', r13, count(1) FROM `tips_rows` AS r INNER JOIN tips_rows_users USING (row_id) WHERE user_id='27' group by r13

Takes ~0.1365s every time to query
Solution 2:
SELECT n,
       SUM(IF(r01 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r01',
       SUM(IF(r02 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r02',

       SUM(IF(r04 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r04',
       SUM(IF(r05 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r05',
       SUM(IF(r06 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r06',
       SUM(IF(r07 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r07',
       SUM(IF(r08 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r08',
       SUM(IF(r09 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r09',
       SUM(IF(r10 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r10',
       SUM(IF(r11 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r11',
       SUM(IF(r12 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r12',
       SUM(IF(r13 = n, 1, 0)) AS 'r13'
FROM `tips_rows` AS r
INNER JOIN tips_rows_users USING (row_id)
JOIN (SELECT '1' AS n UNION SELECT '2' UNION SELECT 'X') S
WHERE user_id='27'
GROUP BY n;

Takes ~0.0997s first time to query. Could be cached in mysql query cache so second time takes ~0.0002s
Solution 3:

    WHERE user_id='27'

Takes ~0.0587s first and second time. After that 0.0002s for question after that.
I will go with solution 3. As it has the best worst case time. But it is strange that it takes two queries before cached.


Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said recently that the team would be moving on without offensive lineman Vadal Alexander after Alexander failed to report to training camp this month and the team did just that on Tuesday.
The Raiders announced that they have waived Alexander. Alexander's departure does not result in an open roster spot as Alexander was taken off the 90-man roster when he did not report.
Alexander was a seventh-round pick in 2016 and played in 24 games for the Raiders over the last two seasons. Alexander is suspended for the first four games of the regular season Patric Hornqvist Jersey , which will likely impact any bid for a job elsewhere if Alexander is looking to continue playing.
The Raiders recently signed Oday Aboushi to compete for a depth role on their offensive line. Breno Giacomini, Jon Feliciano Authentic Sampo Ranta Jersey , Denver Kirkland and David Sharpe are also in that mix.
The Dolphins have played against running back Brandon Bolden for the last six years, but they'll get him on their side this season.
According to multiple reports Austin Seferian-Jenkins Jersey , Bolden is signing with the Dolphins on Tuesday. The move comes four days after he was released by the Patriots as part of their cut to 53 players.
Bolden got some run on offense over the first four years of his career, but he has had just 14 carries and three receptions over the last two seasons. The bulk of his work has come as a special teamer and that figures to be the case in Miami as well given the presence of Frank Gore http://www.officialsabres.com/authentic-adidas-jack-eichel-jersey , Kenyan Drake, Senorise Perry and Kalen Ballage on the roster.
Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports center Travis Swanson will be released to make room for Bolden. Swanson signed with the team on Monday Reilly Smith Jersey , so he probably didn't make any down payments on a place to live yet.
UPDATE 11:11 a.m. ET: Salguero amended his original report about Swanson being released to say that a corresponding move will come without naming a player involved.

Microsoft Lumia 950 review
Joe Svetlik - 23 August 2016
It's the first Lumia smartphone for a long time and the first-ever to run Windows 10. So what's new? And what's not so new? And should you switch from your Android or iOS handset? Let's find out.
Camera is undeniably great
Decent screen
Windows Hello is a real innovation
Feels a bit cheap due to plastic construction
Windows 10 needs some polish
Pricey compared to some budget Android phones
First Impressions 950's build-less than impresses, although the spec sheet is good.
Design It has the look of a cheaper phone
Screen 5" is on the money for screen size, and with a crispness even outdoors
Camera One of the best cameras around
Performance and battery life A standard day long battery, with a non-standard Iris scanning
Value for money A pricey phone for its looks
Verdict Might be worth waiting for another phone from Microsoft
Plasticky
Back is flimsy
Doesn't feel like a high-end smartphone
Not good. The Lumia 950 feels more like the entry-level Lumia 520 than a flagship phone.
Indeed, it even sits in the same plastic tray-style back cover. That really isn't good, considering the lavish build quality of Samsung's Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6S.
Plastic back with embossed logo
Two words: thoroughly uninspiring. The Lumia 950's look isn't bad, it's just a bit dull.
It's 2015, rounding off the corners doesn't really do it for us anymore. Not when the iPhone 6S and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge continue to push boundaries on the design front.
The metal buttons have a cheap feel too. If we didn't know better, we would think we were reviewing something that was half the price.
Build: Metal and plastic
Dimensions: 145x73.2x8.2mm
Accurate colours
Decent viewing angles
No oversaturation
The Lumia 950's screen is a highlight. At 5.2 inches, it's nigh-on the perfect size by our reckoning. And the inclusion of QHD resolution technology, which means the display is four times as sharp than a 720HD screen, is impressive, considering not all flagships offer it.
The colours are accurate, lines are sharp and – crucially for the few days of winter sun we get – it's clearly visible outdoors in all conditions.
Viewing angles are also impressive, so you can see the screen whichever angle you're looking from.
It's just a shame the phone's chassis doesn't feel as premium. It's like Microsoft bolted an amazing windscreen onto a decidedly average car.
Resolution: 2,560x1,440 pixels
Technology: OLED
Great colours
Quick to focus for capturing sponteneous moments
Lush 4K video recording means clips look crisp
Lumia camera phones are some of the best around. Thankfully, this one is no exception.
The Lumia 950 packs a 20-megapixel lens, making it one of the most highest-grade cameraphones around. However, there's a lot more to image quality than mere megapixels.
Photos come out packed with detail, and the colours are some of the most accurate of any phone camera we've tested.
It boasts optical image stabilisation, which helps reduce blur and makes it faster to focus, and pictures are blissfully free from noise (that annoying graininess that tends to show up in low-light snaps).
The triple-LED flash also yields impressive results.
It's easy to change settings thanks to the highly intuitive software too.
Manual options like white balance (how the colours appear in a snap), ISO (the sensitivity of the image sensor, the lower the setting the less sensitive it is to light) and exposure (how much light you let in to the sensor) are all easy to access, and will help you get much better photos.
There's also a dedicated camera button on the side that starts up the shooter no matter what you're doing with the phone, or even if it's asleep.
Optical image stabilisation: Yes
Unique features: None
Windows 10 needs work
Some neat features
Average battery life
One of the flagship features of Windows 10 is Windows Hello. This recognises the iris in your eyes and lets you unlock your device just by looking at it.
However, you have to be very close for it to work, and most of the time it didn't. The feature is still in testing, though, so hopefully it'll improve soon.
Microsoft's Edge browser – the follow-up to Internet Explorer – leaves a lot to be desired. It's laggy and unresponsive, and generally a lot less usable than Google Chrome or Apple's Safari.
In fact, Windows 10 in general is a bit slow and buggy. We'll be charitable and put it down to teething issues, but it's annoying all the same.
But it's not all bad. The glance screen feature allows you to set your homescreen so it shows you the time and date when the phone is in standby mode without eating up much battery life. And the Continuum app lets you use the Lumia 950 as a Windows 10 PC (albeit with the aid of a dock which costs extra, or through Miracast).
What about battery life? Well, we reckon the Lumia 950 will last a day before needing a recharge, which is about standard these days.
One other thing to note – it has a USB-C port, so your old Android charger won't work with it.
With prices starting at £449.99, the Lumia 950 much pricier than some much more polished handsets.
If you want the 5.7-inch Lumia 950 XL, that's a little pricier starting at £529.99.
As well as the bigger screen, your extra cash gets you a slightly faster processor and higher capacity battery. But otherwise it's the same phone.
The 950XL is £80 more than the equally large Nexus 6P. So you'd have to really love Windows 10 to make it worth considering.
Great camera
Shoddy design
Very good screen
Buggy operating system
Feels much cheaper than it actually is
Unless you're mad about Windows 10, the Lumia 950 is best avoided.
Otherwise, you're better off buying a cheaper rival. Or waiting for Microsoft to release a smartphone – and a version of Windows – that can fully realise its ambitions.
