Former JI emir Syed Munawar Hasan passes away in Karachi says news
Former Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) emir Syed Munawar Hasan passed away on Friday at a hospital in Karachi where he was under treatment for the past few days. Hasan was born in Delhi in August 1941, a fortnight before Abul A'ala Maududi launched the JI. In the late 1950s, after aligning himself with the National Students Federation, he crossed over to Islami Jamiat-i-Talaba.
Elected emir in 2009 with around 70pc votes for the first term, Munawar Hasan started losing his popularity within the party after JI's poor showing in the 2013 general elections. He served as the fourth JI chief from 2009 to 2014.
Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif offered his condolences to the deceased's family and to party workers.
well he was a faith head. and a religious guy .. he was in fact close ally of that hadith story teller / Quran Tafsir writer from central India M. Maududi.. and and he was staunch Taliban supporter

Racializing Craftsmen: How British martial race theory erased Pathan artisanship
Beginning in the mid nineteenth century, the British army in India selected local recruits based on racialized assumptions that some groups of Indians were inherently "martial." After its formation under the British East India Company in the seventeenth century, the British army in India relied heavily on Indian troops. However, following the Uprising of 1857, when many Indian recruits rebelled against British officers, British military administrators began to borrow from the work of colonial ethnographers to identify new Indian recruits. These ethnographers categorized Indians within rigid caste and ethnic boundaries and often portrayed cultural practices as biologically predetermined, despite forms of flexibility and the shifting nature of these practices on the ground. Ethnographers argued that climate, diet, and forms of community organization all contributed to a community's "martial" nature, although in practice, British military administrators also chose martial races based on which groups they believed were unlikely to rebel. Ultimately, colonial proponents of "martial race theory" claimed that groups like "Sikhs, Gurkhas, Dogras, Rajputs, and Pathans" were intrinsically suited to military work.
Martial race theory quickly exceeded the bounds of military recruitment. It has influenced popular South Asian narratives of ethnicity, masculinity, honor, and regional identity from the nineteenth century through the present day. This article analyzes the application of martial race theory to labor external to the military, and particularly its influence on artisan trades. It focuses on the working lives of Pathans, a term used in India to describe the diverse descendents of Pashto-speaking groups who had migrated from Indo-Afghan frontier regions. In categorizing Pathans as a martial race, authorities created new barriers to Pathan laborers' and artisans' access to non-military trades. Pathan traditions of artisanship were erased by a racial ideology that portrayed them as skilled only in "martial" trades like weaponsmithing.,,,
that is a great article and proper analysis of Afghan/Pathan History read it all a link.. ENGLAND REALLY RUINED SOUTH ASIA

mullahs, Buffoons and baboons are back in action in Land of pure...
the news says Clerics to get Tahaffuz bill implemented
LAHORE: Clerics belonging to various Sunni schools of thought met here on Sunday to decide the future line of action for ensuring implementation of Tahaffuz Bunyad-e-Islam (protection of foundation of Islam) Bill passed by the Punjab Assembly a fortnight ago.
The participants included Maulana Zahidur Rashidi, Liaquat Baloch, Dr Fareed Paracha, Maulana Muhammad Ahmed Ludhianvi, Syed Kafeel Bukhari, Hafiz Abdul Gaffar Ropri, Maulan Ilyas Chinioti, Qari Zawwar Bahadur, Hafiz Ibtisam Elahi Zaheer, Hafiz Asad Ubaid and others, while the sitting was hosted by Jamiat Ulema Islam (Samiul Haq) general secretary Maulana Abdur Rauf Farooqi.
Announcing the decisions at a press conference made by the gathering, Maulana Farooqi said the participants welcomed the Clerics to push for passage of the bill and called it a manifestation of the love and devotion of the members of the Punjab Assembly towards the holy personalities of Islam.
It congratulated the provincial government, the speaker of the Punjab Assembly, movers and all those members who voted for the bill and hoped that the same would be enacted into a law at the earliest.
It said that "vicious" attempts have been made by some quarters "in the name of reservations on this Bill" to make the sanctity of holy personalities controversial and termed it an intolerable act.
The meeting said serious scholars of all schools of thought have always expressed positive thoughts and feelings on the sanctity of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and his companions, and that the expression of any negative impression in this regard is not only against the unanimous position of the sanctity of holy persons but also an attempt to escalate sectarian tensions.
"Therefore, this meeting considers it necessary to warn such elements that their activities are not tolerated at any level. The sanctity of holy personalities will be protected and defended at all costs."
The sitting called for forming a joint platform to defend the bill and empowered Maulan Farooqi to convene a summit of religious parties' heads for the purpose.
It demanded that concerns of scholars, researchers and publishing houses regarding this bill should be removed and suggested the government to sit with clerics of all schools of thought to take them into confidence on the legislation.
It also demanded that contentious content should be scrutinized by the Muttahida Ulema Board instead of bureaucrats.
The meeting condemned the shooting of a film at the historic Wazir Khan Mosque in Lahore and demanded the government take notice of this incident and bring its perpetrators to book as well as disciplinary action against the officials who had given permission for the shooting.
It criticized the US response to the killing of Tahir Naseem in Peshawar, calling it interference in Pakistan's internal affairs and urged the authorities to effectively implement the law of protection of the honor of the Prophet (PBUH) to prevent people from taking law into their own hands.
that is the news and that is how you purify land with THEIR POLITICAL ISLAM., THESE IDIOTS PROTECT ISLAM??.. what is this THEIR all powerful Allah sleeping?? we need bearded baboons to protect Islam?.. Allah is NOT sleeping you fools....

What is it with these people who celebrate extremists and most wanted fugitives in the name of defending 'Pakistan's internal affairs'? I saw this shit after Bin Laden was found and killed right outside the country's military academy. I don't remember seeing much shame that he was hiding in Pakistan, more for the fact that the Americans had 'interfered in Pakistan' s oh so precious internal affairs'. These people find pride in Pakistan being a safe haven for most wanted Islamic terrorist fugitives.
I think I'll have a go at 'interfering' in Pakistan's internal affairs when I say that that you clerics are the fecal matter shat out by the human race and Pakistan would do well to flush you out. Fuck off.
ATC seeks record in blasphemy accused killing case says news
PESHAWAR: An anti-terrorism court on Monday sought record of the killing of a blasphemy accused inside a courtroom last month as the suspected teenage killer filed a bail petition.
It also issued notice to the state prosecutor for response in the plea. The court fixed Aug 15 for hearing into the petition of the suspect, who sought his release on bail on multiple grounds.
He said the Holy Quran and Sunnah were the supreme laws of an Islamic country and all other laws were subordinate to it. In the 10-page petition, which mostly referred to Quranic verses and Hadith, the suspected killer insisted that apostates were liable to be killed.
While the police claim that the suspect is around 17, the petitioner insisted that he was around 14 and a half years of age and that the entire investigation conducted in the case was a violation of the mandatory provisions of the Juvenile Justice System Act, 2018.
The blasphemy accused, Tahir Ahmad Naseem, who was a US citizen, was shot down inside a courtroom at the Judicial Complex here on July 29. The petitioner is in Peshawar Central Prison on judicial remand.
The petition was submitted by a panel of lawyers, including Shabbir Hussain Gigyani, Mohammad Enam Yousafzai, Barrister Amirullah Khan, Qaiser Zaman Khan, Abdul Wali and Shakil Ahmadkhel.
The FIR of the killing was registered at the East Cantonment police station under Section 302 of Pakistan Penal Code, Section 7 of Anti-Terrorism Act and Section 15 of Arms Act.
The petitioner said no evidence was available on record to connect him with the commission of the offence.
He said the killing of anyone, who committed apostasy, by a Muslim in good faith and in line with the commandments of the Almighty Allah and Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), was not an offence and fell in the general exceptions provided in Pakistan Penal Code sections 76, 79 and 81.
The petitioner said it was evident from the record of the case registered against deceased Tahir Ahmad Naseem on Apr 25, 2018, at the Sarband police station as well as audio, video and text data available on social media and YouTube channel of the deceased that he had committed apostasy.
He also questioned the inclusion of Section 7 of Anti-Terrorism Act in the FIR registered against him and said in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, the people's sentiments and the Supreme Court's recent judgements, the ATA doesn't apply to the case.
The deceased was charged by Nowshera resident Malik Owais, who is enrolled in an Islamabad seminary.
The complainant had charged the deceased of making false religious claims and telling him that he had been receiving Divine Revelations in dreams. The deceased was indicted on Feb 4, 2019, under PPC sections 153-A, 295-A and 298. However, he had denied charges.
that is the news on that blasphemy murder

Clerics' honorarium to cost Rs2.6bn annually, PA told[/url]
PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly was told on Monday that the annual cost of honorarium to be paid to 22,234 Aaima (khateebs) of jamia mosques in the province on a monthly basis would be around Rs2.6 billion.
Replying to a question of Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal member Humaira Khatoon in the house, special assistant to the chief minister on auqaf, Haj and religious affairs Mohammad Zahoor said the Fund Flow Mechanism for the payment of honorarium to Aaima had been prepared in consultation with the Accountant General Office..................
that is 2.6 billion Pakistani rupees in one year in ONE PROVINCE., ., one heck of a lucrative business in the name of Allah..

"It's one of those cases where everyone wants to be his lawyer," Inamullah Yusufzai, who represented Khan at his first court hearing last week, told Reuters. Yusufzai said lawyers from across Pakistan had called to defend Khan for free, to support what they see as the justified killing of a heretic.

Twitter takes on Prime Minister Imran Khan's meditations on rape and vulgarity
Prime Minister Imran Khan, oversimplifying rape isn't the way to stop it_ DAWN news...
Prime Minister Imran Khan over the weekend held a two-hour long question and answer session
Topic of Discussion: he discussed that's of particular interest to us and the rest of Pakistan — rape.
One caller from Hyderabad had two questions for the premier:
What steps has the government taken to prevent rape and child abuse, and are you satisfied with them?
Since you speak of the State of Madinah, why isn't the government hanging rapists in public?
Now, instead of answering the question — particularly part A — the prime minister went into a different direction.
He started with stating that the issue pained him greatly, adding the crimes against children and women reported in newspapers are not even 1 per cent of what actually happens in Pakistan. Rape has always existed in our society but people were ashamed and didn't talk about it before, said PM Imran, adding that now, more people are talking about it.
"I want to say, like corruption isn't eradicated by enacting laws, the same goes for rape cases. We have made the law on rape and child abuse very strict but society must fight it together," said the prime minister.
"Society has to decide that these crimes are [equal to] the destruction of society."
Well said, prime minister. A society has to be cognisant of this menace and take steps together to combat it.
But here's where we lost him: The premier then linked the rise of rape and sexual abuse to the rise of "vulgarity".
Pause: To begin with, his oversimplified take on rape is problematic to say the least because "vulgarity" (also, who gets to decide what is vulgar and what is not?) is not the only reason for rape. In fact, we're very interested to know if this reasoning stems from some research that the government has conducted? And this is us genuinely asking the government: if you have taken steps to find out why cases of sexual violence are on the rise and more common in one place than the other, do share it with the public.
He mentioned several times that we as a society should fight rape and "vulgarity" but he never mentioned educating people on why this is wrong. By blaming vulgarity, he's removing the onus from the rapist. What he should be saying is we must teach men that rape is wrong regardless of what the victim is wearing or doing.
And if there is rampant "vulgarity" in the society, then perhaps the government could open rehabilitation centres for such men who have been affected so badly that they resort to violence? Instead of highlighting how vulgarity has corrupted the people and led to a rise in sexual violence — a dangerously ambiguous statement — tell us what you are doing to tackle this issue.
The premier also spoke of religion and the concept of 'pardah' in Islam. It is to remove "temptation" from society because "not everyone has willpower", he said.
Pause: His assertion that some people don't have any willpower is, again, problematic as it, again, places the burden of blame on the victim: the man didn't have the willpower therefore the woman should have been covered from head to toe. We wonder if the same concession would be given to a woman for lets say an extramarital affair: she lacked willpower so the man should have known better. We highly doubt it. So why this leeway for men?
Also, Islam talks about modesty for both sexes. Why is it that our leaders and those in power forget to talk about how men should lower their gaze to avoid temptation? Countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran prove that layers of clothes alone do not stop rape. The problem is not in the women and children who are abused and harassed, neither is it in their clothes — it's in the rapists and abusers and their mindsets. And by perpetuating this mindset, the prime minister is telling women living in Pakistan that the burden of safety lies on them.
Imran Khan went on to touch upon his time in England (surprise, surprise), India copying Hollywood, him asking local film producers not to bring in Indian or Western content, children's access to information on their mobile phones, and of course, the Turkish shows that will save us all.
What he did not do, however, was actually answer the caller's questions. He missed an opportunity to brief the people on what his government is doing, has done and intends to do by the time his government's term is over. That is what parents of children want to know. That is what women — regardless of whether they wear a chador or not — want to know.
The basic idea of what he was saying is sound — that rape is everyone's problem and that laws are not enough, we must all fight it together — but his moralizing saw him veering off topic and displaying a dangerous misunderstanding of a critical issue.
IMRAN KHAN .. DAMMIT SHUT UP .. just work., the guy opens mouth talks shit., Imran however good person you are., however good intentions you have., you are a fucking looser when it comes to these social problems as well as family problems...., And you showed it to the world by marrying and divorcing Reham khan and marrying again a Burkha clad lady..

18 Apr — 30 Jun 2018 at the Gallery Greta Meert in Brussels, Belgium
Jean-Luc Moulène. Courtesy of Galerie Greta Meert
Galerie Greta Meert is pleased to present its fourth exhibition with French artist Jean-Luc Moulène (b.1955, Reims). Moulène's discrete works have a propensity to present themselves as the tangible condensation of an essential form of "noncomprehension". Although his work has often been subsequently described as cryptic, it is precisely this ontological kind of "non-comprehension" that opens up possibilities for him. Thus, his practice is predominantly concerned with the idea of freedom and its limitation by the artist's own conditions and protocols.
While Moulène became widely known for his straight photographic work, his practice quickly became characterised by the prevalent heterogeneity of his approach. The eclectic and complex corpus he has been creating throughout his career constitutes a form of resistance against inertia and classification. Similarly, it is through this versatility and experimental flair that Moulène institutes a common thread across the wide array of materials and techniques that he likes to employ.
The almost knife-sharp boldness of this body of work brings us to consider what could easily be dismissed or judged as commonplace, in a way akin to poetry's attempt to test and sometimes confront language. Accompanied by five highly idiosyncratic bronze sculptures including a Couteau rouge (red knife), is a series of abstract paintings made using a variety of techniques. The seemingly consistent diagonal divide that cuts through all of the paintings generates various kind of boundaries, junctions and disjunctions between colors, textures, luminosity, "high" and "low" materials. Gold leaf and fluorescent yellow stabilo are allowed to occupy the space of a same panel in equal amounts while remaining firmly isolated. Are they being put together, or taken apart? Are they merely displaying their odd kinship, or their decisively antagonistic, and yet simultaneous presence? The radical intervention materialized by "the cut" puts forth a concrete problem of interpretation. Moulène's reflection on the nature of the monochrome points to the spatial and physical porosity of this sanctified painterly notion.
Between compromise and confrontation, Jean-Luc Moulène's work demands a certain critical engrossment from the part of the viewer to conjure a latent political potential. It is through his continuous involvement with the visible world that the artist is able to formulate these compound visual hypotheses to inquire about social and natural phenomenon in a committed negotiation between thought and matter. Jean-Luc Moulène lives and works in Paris. Recent solo exhibitions include: Secession, Vienna (2017), Centre Pompidou, Paris (2016-2017), Villa Medici, Rome (2015) and DIA:Beacon, New York (2011-2012), WIELS, Brussels (2017).

The Gallery has amply demonstrated its commitment to a younger generation of artists whose work closely connects to the historically consistent and artistically coherent program.

It was again a great success !
The 5th PLA World Congress in Munich was again a big success. Speakers, attendees and exhibitors confirmed the high quality of the presentations, the good mix of attendees and the overall organisation of the event.
The team of bioplastics MAGAZINE says: THANK YOU !
PLA is one of the bioplastics with the largest market significance. The versatile bioplastics raw material is made almost completely from renewable resources. It is being used for packaging applications, for fibres in woven and non-woven applications. Even the automotive industry and consumer electronics are already applying PLA. Blending PLA with other bioplastics or other blend-partners as well as mixing it with natural fibres such as flax, hemp or kenaf broadens the range of applications even more.
That's why bioplastics MAGAZINE is now organizing the 5th PLA World Congress.
Experts from all involved fields will share their knowledge and contribute to a comprehensive overview of today's opportunities and challenges and discuss the possibilities, limitations and future prospects of PLA for all kind of applications.
bioplastics MAGAZINE invites all PLA World Congress delegates to a "Bavarian Night" in a famous Munich Beerhouse.
On Tuesday May 29, 2018 we'll enjoy Bavarian beer and food specialties.
This is the 5th PLA World Congress by bioplastics MAGAZINE.

Legacy Membership. Legacy status is granted to each child (male or female) who graduates from a Jack and Jill Chapter and whose mother is a member in good standing at the time of the child's graduation from the chapter. Once the child desires to enter Jack and Jill through their Legacy Status, the legacy will be verified through the chapter by completing and submitting the legacy application which is located below. The application should be filled out and forwarded to the current chapter president of the chapter in which he/she graduated out from. If at the time the chapter cannot verify the legacy, the chapter files at headquarters will be researched to verify Legacy. If a Legacy certificate was filed for the child it will be in the Chapter Files in Headquarters.

I love when a client suggests a project I've not done before. When Rachelle asked for a full-sized eucalyptus crown with one to match her baby flower girl, I was super stoked. Of all the hundreds of flower crowns I've made, I have never made a big ol' eucalyptus one.
There are three types of eucalyptus in that crown plus the most delicate blush spray roses you ever did see! Rachelle also wanted a vertical-shaped bouquet, so larkspur was definitely in the cards with its tall lacy stalks.
Baby blue eucalyptus was also a perfect match for a long, tall bouquet.

PIC PIC12F629 based IR decoder.
by Kevin Timmerman
for the Olimex sponsored PCB contest
The IR Widget captures the infrared signals used by remote controls. It is able to determine the carrier frequency and demodulate the carrier in the digital or analog domain. The captured information can be used to reproduce or recognize the signal. The hardware is designed to be as simple and low cost as possible. A PIC12F629 was used for the prototype, but almost any PIC that uses the 12 or 14 bit instruction set could be used.
The usual approach to low cost IR capture typically consists of an IR detector or demodulator module connected to a serial or parallel port. This can work quite well when the CPU is dedicated to servicing the port. It does not work very well within a preemptive multitasking operating system. The OS is constantly servicing hardware interrupts even when the system is idle, so the IR capture is constantly interrupted. CPU usage is high when polling is used. Using the hardware interrupt capability of the port can greatly reduce CPU load, but interrupt latency may cause inaccurate results. Parallel and serial ports are becoming less common, and USB adapters do not work for these simple circuits.
The IR Widget solves these problems by using a microcontroller to do precise timing and send the data to the PC using ordinary asynchronous serial transmission. This allows the OS to service the serial port with it's normal drivers and allows the use of USB to serial converters.
The circuit is powered from the serial port and the PIC directly drive the serial rx data line. An infrared detector module is used to allow the PIC to see every infrared pulse at close range. This allows for greatest detail and accuracy. An infrared demodulator module can also be used to allow for long range reception with less detail.
Infrared remotes typically use a carrier frequency of 30 to 60 kHz. The carrier is keyed full on and full off. Carrier on times typically range from 400 microseconds to several milliseconds. Carrier off times typically range from 400 microseconds to more than 100 milliseconds. To measure the frequency of a pulsed carrier, a short gate time is required. An ordinary frequency counter with 1 second gate will not give an accurate reading. The frequency could be determined from the period of one cycle, but this would require a rather high resolution measurement for a precise reading.
IR Scope
The IR Widget counts the number of infrared pulses that occur within a 100 microsecond period. The count is sent to the PC at 115200 bps. This repeats every 100 microseconds. To calculate the carrier frequency, the received data is scanned for the highest count. As long as there are pulses of 200 microseconds or greater duration, there will be samples from periods where the carrier was on for the entire sample period. These periods will have the highest count or one less than the highest count. The sum of all these periods is used to calculate the carrier frequency with reasonable precision. Once the carrier frequency is know, the periods with lesser counts can be evaluated to determine the duration of the carrier during those periods.
IRWIDGET.ASM .HEX
A Microsoft Windows program is used to transform the data gather from the IR Widget in to a graphical representation of the infrared signal. The display is similar to an oscilloscope or logic analyzer. The time of each carrier on and off period is shown as well as the count of pulses during the carrier on periods. Each capture is also written to a text file.
IRSCOPE.EXE .ZIP (source)
IR Time
The infrared detector module for the previously described capture mode has a very short range. The remote must be within a few inches of the detector module. This is fine for research, but not suitable for remote control. Devices that are controlled by infrared remotes typically use an infrared demodulator modules. These modules are tuned to a specific carrier frequency and have a range of 20 feet or more. The IR Widget can accommodate such a module and has code for measuring the time between falling edges of the detector's output.
The time it takes for an infrared demodulator module to respond to the presence and absence of the carrier is usually not the same and can very with the intensity of the infrared light. To allow for this asymmetry, the time of an on/off set is measured rather than discreetly measuring both the on time and off time. This will produce very consistent results with varying infrared intensity and various brands of IR demodulator modules.
The time between falling edges is measured with 64 microsecond resolution and sent to the host PC at 57600 bps upon every high to low transition of the detector.

This package defines interfaces of container components, and provides a basic container implementation. The available component is a generic and non-persistent ccontainer.
The package also provides some utilities to handle containers : an implementation of a zope.size.ISized component and an implementation of a zope.location.ISublocations component. They can both be registered as adapters, but cromlech.container doesn't do it by default.
This package is the fruit of a fork from zope.container , in order to free it from the heavy zope dependencies and from the C module. Therefore, the behavior is different : the ContainedProxy component does not allow a transparent persistency.

Q: Is it possible to create labels/entity types for a Custom Document Extractor using .NET client libraries? I have successfully set up a Custom Document Extractor processor in the Google Cloud Console as described here and was able to familiarize myself with Google Document AI workflow. I was also able to create a Document Schema with custom labels and imported training and evaluation documents to train a Processor Version.
I was also able to set up the client libraries to programmatically interact with the processor using the latest .NET client library Google.Cloud.DocumentAI.V1Beta3 (2.0.0-beta03). I am able to train models and process docs. However, I need to be able to create labels using the client libraries as well, but I don't see whether this is possible using client libraries?
I went through the documentation Google.Cloud.DocumentAI.V1Beta3 documentation and Document AI V1 Beta3 API reference documentation I don't see any references to add your own labels using the client libraries. Are there any API requests that can be made to programmatically add labels using client libraries or gRPC/REST calls? Is this feature available or am I missing something?

A: It's currently not supported to create/edit labels using the client libraries or REST/gRPC APIs.
If you have a Google Cloud Account Manager, I recommend reaching out to them to see about getting access to any Private Preview programs that may be available.

Red Bull Records struck their first ream of gold when they signed AWOLNATION in 2010. The band's debut album for the label, the RIAA Gold-certified Megalithic Symphony, featured the single "Sail" which peaked at #17 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, putting the soda company's record label on the map for the first time, and rightfully placing leaders of the Green Label Sound project in the hot seat.
In the years since, the band has grown quite familiar with the festival circuit having made the rounds to SXSW, Lollapalooza, and a slew of others, but 2015's Bonnaroo was a first for the Aaron and company. Aaron said of the festival and AWOLNATION's place in the lineup, "Everybody seems really comfortable with and open to all different genres of music, which is great for us because we are kind of genre-less. We don't even even know where we fit in, so we fit right in here."
AWOLNATION is currently supporting their sophomore album, Run, and will continue their tour post-Bonnaroo across the US, Canada, and the UK. You can pick up a copy of Run here.

Run for your life
by Dr. Philip S. Chua
A 10-year study showed more than 57,000 pedestrians were hit by vehicles in Metro Manila — including those who lost their lives simply crossing the streets.
Notwithstanding the designated crossing "zebra" lanes which are supposed to be the safe haven for crossing pedestrians, drivers and car owners do not seem to care to slow down and stop properly. They all break the traffic laws with impunity, putting the lives of people in jeopardy. Reason: Our lack of discipline as a people, which is also why our laws are not enforced. Discipline must start from the top executive of the city.
I put the blame squarely on the city Mayors for defaulting on their sworn obligation as heads of their respective cities to uphold and enforce all laws to protect the public. Their negligence has led to the current rampant life-threatening behavior of drivers in our cities. While the drivers may be the actual law-breakers, who should be penalized, their employers, who should know better, are unapologetic consenting co-conspirators, who ought to be penalized several times more. If there is no existing "command responsibility law" applicable to this particular situation, its about time our legislators enacted one to prevent more deaths and injuries.
Why should crossing the street on the designated lanes be risky at all? Weren't they so designed to protect the pedestrians? Why should the citizens be in constant fear and have to run for their life every time they cross the streets?
In more disciplined countries, where laws are strictly enforced and respected, like Singapore, Japan, the United States, here in Dubai, and others, vehicles start to slow down (with no Police Officer around) when they are about 50 feet from the crossing lane and then fully stop about 10 feet from the lane when drivers see a person wanting (not even starting yet) to cross, and do not try to outrun the pedestrians as they do in MetroManila. As long as there is even a single pedestrian on that safety lane, no car would be passing in front or at the back of that person. The pedestrian has the right to change his/her mind and suddenly turn around and go back without being hit by a car behind her. Only when the entire crossing lane was totally empty would any car move. Pedestrians in those countries are respected and protected and not terrorized like pedestrians here.
As late as last week, near Greenhills Shopping Center, an elderly couple, the wife walking with a cane, was in the middle (yes, halfway) of the crossing lane on Annapolis Street, when a van zoomed through in front of them, barely missing them, and another behind them. And this is not an isolated case.
On some occasions, I have seen police officers modulating the traffic to allow pedestrians to cross on the designated lanes. That is good public service. But why do we even need an officer (or the mother of the driver) to stand by the corners to exact discipline? It is the car-owner/employer's responsibility to discipline his/her driver to protect the public and allow the officer to do his more needed job of arresting criminals instead. This would save the city some money. Assigning an officer at each of the thousands of crossing lanes in the entire MetroManila would be cost prohibitive, besides making policing even less efficient and the city less safe.
These same drivers, who blatantly violated the laws in the city with brazen decorum, somehow became transformed into model law-abiding drivers when they entered the formerly American-owned Clark Field Subic Airbase. Why? Because they knew that traffic rules there were strictly enforced and violators severely penalized. But the moment they got out of the compound, they resumed their usual recklessness with impunity…because they knew they would get away with it.
It is therefore clear that the behavior of drivers in MetroManila could be modified, IF (and only IF) our City Mayors, Chiefs of Police, MMDA, and other related agencies are themselves disciplined and patriotic enough to enforce the laws. Just one well-publicized story (highlighted in all news and social media around the country) about a drastic penalty levied against a violator driver and heavier yet against the employee/owner of the car (under a new law) for not stopping properly at crossing lanes would surely be noticed nationwide and serve as a good warning and deterrent to future violators. Behavioral modification through legal enforcement and application of heavy penalties on the offenders have been proven to be effective. Obviously, the initiative must start from the top, with the Mayor, where the bucks stop!
Part of Article 3 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the right to personal security. The Presidential decree of 1959 (1984), an amendment of the Land Transportation Traffic Code of 1964, obliges motorists to give way to pedestrians in pedestrians lanes or "Zebra Lanes."
Why mayors of Metro Manila do not ensure the city laws and ordinances are enforced is beyond me. They cannot claim ignorance because ignorance of the law excuses no one. They are the head of the city and must know all ongoing problems of the city, including law infringement that could hurt, maim or kill their constituents. If the Mayor says he has already ordered the enforcement of all laws and ordinances from day one, then he is an impotent, ineffective, and useless Mayor, whose subordinates who do not respect, follow, or fear him.
If law enforcement is not executed properly, it is the Mayor's fault (doctrine of command responsibility). He swore before God to make sure the laws and ordinances of the city are strictly enforced and lawbreakers (like drivers together with their employers) are punished accordingly. Anything less on the mayor's part is a dereliction of a sworn duty and is legally liable under the laws of the Philippines. And the culpability is self-evident. The thousands of dangerous ongoing breaches of the laws and ordinances are evidences in themselves which the mayors cannot refute.
I challenge the people of Metro Manila to be proactive and preemptive and not wait for another 57,000 individuals to be killed by reckless drivers (and their more guilty employers) before confronting mayors and demanding that laws (traffic and otherwise) are strictly enforced, putting the onus not only on the driver but the employer-owner of the car, who, as earlier suggested, deserves a harsher punishment.
Every citizen, especially the youth, should organize themselves just like the vigilant electronic socio-civic watchdog, e-Guardian Angels, and take videos on their cellphones as proofs of this dangerous governmental neglect, any uncorrected infra-structure hazards, and other misdeeds or abuses by government officials. If needed, rally a protest demonstration to garner people power. Use the social media, including television, to call attention to these and to all ineptitudes, graft, and corruption perpetrated by these civil servants, from the Mayors down. And this netizen watchdog movement could be duplicated in all cities in the country to serve and protect our national dignity and our people's rights..
It is our obligation to ourselves, to our family, and fellow citizens to help protect and look out for each other. The politicians won't.
Unless, We, the People, fight for our rights, we deserve every rotten situation we get, and we can blame no one else but ourselves.
Now, shall we still wait for a member of our own family to be killed first before we act in solidarity?

There could still be hope after a denial
Trillanes charged with inciting sedition
Dr. Philip S. Chua February 28, 2019


There were plenty of smiling faces for the Stevenson boys basketball team Friday night after the Class 4A Maine South regional championship game.
The No. 3-seeded Patriots (24-6) really got the job done at the defensive end of the floor and from behind the 3-point arc as they rolled to an impressive 60-42 victory over the No. 6 Hawks (21-10) for the regional title.
Stevenson extended its winning streak to 10 games and earned a spot in Wednesday's sectional semifinal at Glenbrook South against No. 2 seed Deerfield.
Stevenson had fallen to the Hawks 48-46 on Dec. 30 at the Hinsdale Central Holiday Tournament.
But Friday night was an entirely different story as the Patriots built a solid 28-17 halftime lead before taking a fairly comfortable 43-29 advantage over Maine South heading into the fourth quarter.
There were some unlikely offensive leaders for the Pats right out of the blocks, as senior guard Jordan Newman scored 11 of his 13 points in the first quarter, including three 3-pointers, to help stake Stevenson to a 16-11 lead after one quarter.
Three-pointers were the order of the day as Stevenson junior Aidan O'Connell had four of them, and 8 of his team-high 14 points in the first half.
As was the case in the first meeting when Maine South managed to hold Stevenson leading scorer Justin Smith to 9 points, the Hawks once again keyed on Smith (4 points) and senior teammate Ryuji Aoki (4 points) at their defensive end.
"They (Maine South) face-guarded Smith and Aoki all night with a triangle-and-two, so we knew we were going to get open shots and all of our 3-pointers were definitely from them being face-guarded," said O'Connell, whose team hit 20-of-34 shots (58 percent) from the field. "Coach (Pat) Ambrose and all of the coaches did a great job preparing us for the game so we were able to see their sets and know the tendencies their players liked to do."
Maine South senior guard Jon Arenas was able to score 11 of his game-high 21 points in the second half. He finished with fived 3s, but the Hawks really struggled offensively throughout the contest by hitting only 14 of their 39 shots (35 percent) from the floor.
"We knew a lot of their strengths and Jon Arenas is really good, but Rodney Herenton Jr. did a tremendous job blanketing him and making him take tough shots," said Stevenson coach Pat Ambrose, whose team held a slim 21-20 rebounding advantage overall. "We wanted to take away their best players and share the ball, and we did a great job of that."
Maine South tried to make a last-gasp comeback in the fourth quarter as 6-foot-11 center Brad Perry (10 points) scored on his own rebound to cut the lead to 43-31 with 6:52 to play.
But the Patriots were never seriously threatened after that point as Smith (6 rebounds) scored on two rebound baskets of his own to boost the lead back to 47-31 with 4:41 remaining.
Besides O'Connell and Newman, Willie Herenton also reached double figures in scoring for Stevenson with 13 points. Senior Tommy Digan added 8 points for the Hawks while Rodney Herenton Jr. chipped in 6 points for the Pats.
Ambrose was calm and composed after the Patriots' ceremonial cutting down of the nets following the game. But he was definitely happy with the overall effort and great results his squad produced in the end.
"Aidan (O'Connell) and Jordan (Newman) are good shooters," Ambrose said. "They had good range and rhythm, and they let it ride."

Moving Networks to Action is all about finding others who are interested in the same thing you are. But if you are going to be transformative you also need to be interacting with people who have different perspectives and access to different resources than you.
So, how do you find people with common interests who are also different in important ways? This is where I'm convinced Twitter is revolutionary. Twitter Search enables you to put in a word or words that describe your interest. Here you can see we have entered the word Foodshed.
This produces a list of names of people who have Twittered about foodsheds. You can check each one out, click on any that you want to Follow, and Twitter them to start a conversation. But particularly look for those who have different perspectives and stretch your mind. I found a person who linked to this cool Canadian map -- a new resource!
As a Network Weaver, you can help people in your networks use Twitter to find people with very specific mutual interests. Have them brainstorm a list of words and phrases that represent their current passion, and then steer them to Twitter Search.
UPDATE: Very practical advice June! Imagine how Twitter would work @ ACEnet -- if you can't make it to the 4 big food networking hubs in town -- Village Bakery, Kitchen Incubator, Big Chimney or Farmer's Market, just log in to Twitter [via mobile phone, if you have SMS/texting] and you have awareness of the conversations that are happening @ the hubs! Twitter provides constant ambient awareness!
P.S. When June, Jack and I get together F2F we have many a-ha moments and often riff off of each other's ideas [we are also similar, yet different]. Hopefully, we can share some of that dynamic here through interactive posts like the one above.
Thanks for the interesting idea! I've already connected with someone on Twitter who I'll stop and see on my next trip to Seattle.
I came across your quote "Connect on your similarities and profit from your differences!". It's exactly what we're doing at harmoniker.com. People are really responding to that approach.
Thanks for the quote ;-). I won't use it directly of course but it's given me even more inspiration!

Q: CSV encoding php Here's the problem i need to post a .csv file from one server to another.
I do this by reading the contents of the .csv file and sending that with curl as post data.
This is working without problems.
But then when i try to parse the data and store it in a table in the database the trouble begins.
I have all the variables in a array, if i print this array it displays correctly.
But if i echo a value from that array i get all kinds of weird characters.
My best guess is it has something to do with the encoding of the csv file but i wouldnt have a clue how to fix that.
here's the function i use to parse the csv data:
public function parseCsv($data)
{
    $quote = '"';
    $newline = "\n";
    $seperator = ';';
    $dbQuote = $quote . $quote;

    // Clean up file
    $data = trim($data);
    $data = str_replace("\r\n", $newline, $data);
    $data = str_replace($dbQuote,'"', $data);
    $data = str_replace(',",', ',,', $data);
    $data .= $seperator;

    $inquotes = false;
    $startPoint = $row = $cellNo = 0;

    for($i=0; $i<strlen($data); $i++) {
        $char = $data[$i];
        if ($char == $quote) {
            if ($inquotes) $inquotes = false;
            else $inquotes = true;
        }

        if (($char == $seperator or $char == $newline) and !$inquotes) {
            $cell = substr($data,$startPoint,$i-$startPoint);
            $cell = str_replace($quote,'',$cell);
            $cell = str_replace('"',$quote,$cell);

            $result[$row][$this->csvMap[$cellNo]] = $this->_parseValue($cellNo, $cell);
            ++$cellNo;
            $startPoint = $i + 1;
            if ($char == $newline) {
                $cellNo = 0;
                ++$row;
            }
        }
    }
    return $result;
}

any help is appreciated!
EDIT:
Ok so after some more trial and error i found out its just the very first value of the first row that has some extra characters. If i echo that value everything i output after that gets messed up.
So i tried to change the encoding now if i echo the value its all good but i have a new problem, its a string but i need a int:
echo $val; //output: 7655 but messes up everything outputted after it
$val = mb_convert_encoding($val, "UTF-8");
echo $val // output: 7655
echo intval($val) //output: 0

EDIT:
expected output:
7655Array ( [kenmerk] => ÿþ7655 [status] => 205 [status_date] => 1991-12-30 [dob] => 1936-09-04 ) succes

messed up output
7655牁慲੹ਨ††歛湥敭歲⁝㸽@㟾㘀㔀㔀਀††獛慴畴嵳㴠‾㈀㤀㔀਀††獛慴畴彳慤整⁝㸽 201ⴱ㄀㈀ⴀ30 †嬠潤嵢㴠‾㄀㤀㘀㘀-08〭㐀਀਩畳捣獥

i first echo the element 'kenmerk' after that i print the array
as you can see in the array the element 'kenmerk' has some extra charcters..
converting the data to utf-8 like so:
    $data = mb_convert_encoding($data, "UTF-8");
eliminates the problem with messed up output and removes the 'ÿþ' (incorrectly-interpreted BOM?) but i still cant convert the values to a int
EDIT:
ok i sort of found a solution..
but as i have no idea why it works i'd appreciate any info
var_dump((int) $val); // output: 0
var_dump((int) strip_tags($val); // output: 7655

A: You need to remove ÿþ from 7655. intval() and int ($val = (int)$val;) will always output 0 when the first character is not a number. Ex. 765ÿþ5 will return 765, etc.
Regarding your first problem, I would also recommend you to read this answer. PHP messing with HTML Charset Encoding
I hope that it will give you more clarity about what you struggle with.
I will also build you striping process more stable, so it ex. match 7655 instead of ÿþ7655.


In this video, we'll take a look at the options on how to handle upgrading to newer versions of the dependencies you already have.
^ before a version number means install up to the latest MINOR release.
~ before a version number means install up to the latest PATCH release.
This is especially true when it comes to open source packages.
the version of the package in your project can get out of date pretty quickly.
take a look at the versions of our dependencies.
This is knows as semantic versioning or SemVer for short.
two, code that used to work with version one will not work with version two.
Version one music is incompatible with version two.
jQuery is a good example of this.
When jQuery moved from version 1 to 2, support for IE8 and Aleo was removed.
your code that you wrote should still work.
It should be backwardly compatible, but that's not 100% guaranteed.
Minor releases add new functionality in, hopefully, in a non-destructive way.
The third digit is for patch releases.
These are for bug fixes that don't necessarily break backward compatibility.
since newer patches fix bugs that might affect your project.
mpm to install the latest minor release until the next major release.
Minor releases don't tend to break backward compatibility.
But some developers may introduce things that could break on a minor release.
The semantic versioning system is a guideline, not a mandate.
install all future versions all the way up to and just before version 2.0.
There's another symbol that you may come across and that's the tilde.
all the patch releases until the next minor release.
other things you're working on in your project.
So, it's safe to have this tilde here.
This means that if 0.8.4 or 0.8.5 is available, that will be installed.
It will install the most recent version all the way up to the release before 0.9.
If you don't include the tilde or caret, it'll install the specific version only.
Let's remove the tilde, and install and outdated version of colors.
the older version of the colors module.
if there was a bug introduced in a newer version that they hadn't fixed yet.
But we want the latest version.
How do we know what's out of date and what's not?
that gives you an overview of what's out of date.
We know that colors is out of date.
always upgrade to the minor release if we do npm install on a new machine.
We can't use the npm install command since we've already got version 1.0.0 installed.
But there's a more up-to-date version, 1.1.2.
We can use the npm update command to upgrade.
Oops, I didn't save the file.
Let's do npm update again.
And the latest version gets installed.
Our project is locally up to date.
all of the node packages in the node modules folder, to the latest version.
the version with the tilde and caret symbols, we have greater control.
If we type npm outdated again, we'll see no response.
That means we're all up to date.
I'm going to do this on my local machine again.
in this case it's http-server, with the minus g flag for global.
If we don't include the package name, it will update all packages.
and workflow in other projects, so be careful.
the version installed, so doing an update may update to a major new release.
This means the way you used to interact with the package may change completely.
You've seen how to manage your dependency versions with a package.json file.
we use the tilde symbol.
And the caret symbol for minor releases.
This should prevent breakages in our code, include book fixes and other improvements.
You've also seen how to update global packages like http-server.
that's exactly how you'd update npm too.


Banbury, UK (27 September 2018) – With two electric vehicles (EVs) and more planned for his business in Birmingham, Ben Allan, CEO of Miso, is a recent convert of green technology and has totally changed the way he plans his working day to ensure he always has enough charge in his car.
Interested in the concept of EVs and lured by the large tax breaks available from the Government, Allan took the plunge and bought two new electric vehicles – a Tesla Model X, as his company car, and a Hyundai Ioniq as the family car.
The charging speed for the cars was initially slow and lengthy as it was only 3kW from a three pin-plug, so Allan applied for an OLEV (Office for Low Emission Vehicles) Grant, also known as the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), so he would be eligible to receive up to £500 off the cost of purchasing and installing a home charging point.
Allan contacted three OLEV accredited EV charging installers in the local Birmingham area to install two electric vehicle chargers at his home. Mr. Electric® was one of the Government approved electrical business's who was approached and consequently won the work due to its exceptional customer service.
Mr. Electric took over the grant application for its customer and recommended the installation of two EO Charging home chargers. Designed, manufactured and tested in the UK, the EO home charger was the ideal charging solution as it was simple, affordable, wall mounted and suitable for charging all types of EVs. Another key functionality was the speed and ease of charging – with a power rating of 7.2kW, the chargers had a charge time of three hours.
"I was so impressed with Mr. Electric from the outset and the fact that we have asked them to possibly install car charging points at my company is testament to the work they have already done", added Ben Allan. "The team provided a quality service from beginning to end and continue to show their high levels of professionalism and expertise in the EV market. They have done everything from the initial site survey to understanding my requirements and then the installation at home.
Mr. Electric is now an approved installer and trusted partner for EO Charging, which has a comprehensive product range designed and built to be flexible and compatible with all leading motor manufacturers' EVs. Together the two organisations will now be able to offer domestic and commercial customers a one-stop solution for all types and modes of EV charging, from the product right through to the installation and ongoing maintenance of the charging point.
For further information about Mr. Electric and the services it can offer, visit https://www.mr-electric.co.uk/birmingham-north or call 0121 285 0136. For further information about EO Charging and its EV charging product range, visit www.eocharging.com.
Mr Electric is one of the trade service brands for Neighborly, formerly Dwyer Group. With over 17 years of experience and over 200 locations around the world, Mr. Electric is the UK's leading electrical franchise brand with expertise in electrical installation, maintenance and repair. Mr. Electric is an authorised OLEV (Office for Low Emission Vehicles) installer of electric vehicle charging points, with a team of electricians who are NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) approved. Compliant with BS 7671, the Electrical Safety Quality and Continuity Regulations and the new IET (Institution of Engineering & Technology) Code of Practice.
EO Charging designs and manufacturers electric vehicle chargers for homes, fleets and destinations at its headquarters in Suffolk, United Kingdom. EO currently sells in 25 countries around the world, including UK, Norway, Thailand and Australia, and aims to become the number one electric vehicle charging manufacturer, for homes and workplaces, globally by 2025.

Greece submits bill needed to start rescue talks
Alexis Tsipras has until Wednesday night to get those measures adopted in the assembly.
FILE: Alexis Tsipras in June 2015. Picture: AFP.
ATHENS - The Greek government submitted legislation to parliament on Tuesday required by its international lenders to start talks on a multi-billion euro rescue package.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has until Wednesday night to get those measures adopted in the assembly. A first set of reforms triggered a rebellion in his party last week and passed only thanks to votes from pro-EU opposition parties.
The second bill, though less divisive, will still be a test of his weakened majority.
It puts into Greek law new European Union rules on propping up failed banks, decreed after the 2008 financial crisis and aimed at shielding taxpayers from the risk of having to bail out troubled lenders.
The so-called bank recovery and resolution directive (BRRD) imposes losses on shareholders and creditors of ailing lenders, in a process known as 'bail-in', before any taxpayers' money can be tapped in a bank rescue.
The European Commission in late May gave Italy, France and nine other EU countries two months to adopt the rules, which were meant to be applied by the end of 2014, or face legal action.
The bailout bill also includes the adoption of new rules for the country's civil justice system, aimed at accelerating lengthy judicial processes and cutting costs.
Together with his coalition partners from the right-wing Independent Greeks party, Tsipras has 162 seats in the 300-seat parliament. But last week's rebellion cut his support to just 123 votes, meaning he is likely to need opposition votes again.
Greece on Monday reopened its banks and repaid billions of euros owed to the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank in the first signs of a return to normality after it struck a cash-for-reforms deal with other eurozone countries last week.

See all DVDs A long-running drama based upon the "Little House" series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, "Little House on the Prairie" follows the lives of the simple, farming Ingalls family: Charles, Caroline, Mary, Laura, Carrie and then Grace and the later adopted Albert, James and Cassandra, who settle into a quaint little house on the banks of Plum Creek near the small town of Walnut Grove during the late 1800s. Often narrated by Laura, the series follows her simple farm upbringing from her childhood until her adulthood with Almanzo Wilder with whom she starts a family of her own. While the series is based upon the Little House books (and thus the real life of author Laura Ingalls Wilder), it is a very loose adaptation, with mostly only key events and elements of fact surviving the transition from book to TV series, the most important being Mary's eventual blindness, and Laura's future. Several other fictitious (some factual) characters make up the friendly community of Walnut Grove, including teacher Miss Beadle (succeeded by two other teachers, then Laura, then Etta Plum), Dr. Hiram Baker, Rev. Robert Alden, Mr. Hanson (of the Hanson lumber mill), and the well-to-do Olesons, owners of the local mercantile, and also the primary rivals of the Ingalls family (except the Oleson patriarch). Family friends include the Edwards family, the Garvey family and the Carters, who, in the final season, move into the Ingalls' little house.

SMITH v. WAL-MART STORES, INC.
ANDREWS, Judge.
Summary judgment motion. Dougherty State Court. Before Judge Malone.
This is an appeal from the grant of summary judgment to defendant Wal-Mart Stores in this slip and fall case. Viewed in favor of Smith, the opponent of the summary judgment motion, OCGA 9-11-56; Eiberger v. West, 247 Ga. 767, 769 (1) (281 SE2d 148) (1981); the evidence was that she was injured when she slipped in a puddle of clear liquid in the middle of an aisle in the patio furniture section at Wal-Mart. Smith did not see the substance on the floor before she fell, although her shopping companion did. Smith claimed that Wal-Mart was negligent in failing to properly inspect and maintain the premises.
Smith's fall.
In order to recover in a slip and fall case of this nature, the plaintiff must show (1) that the defendant had actual or constructive knowledge of the foreign substance and (2) that the plaintiff was without knowledge of the substance or for some reason attributable to the defendant was prevented from discovering the foreign substance. Alterman Foods v. Ligon, 246 Ga. 620, 623 (272 SE2d 327) (1980). Here, the inquiry under the first prong is limited to whether Wal-Mart had constructive knowledge of the liquid, since there was no evidence that Wal-Mart had actual knowledge of such substance. Cf. Padgett v. M & M Super Market, 195 Ga. App. 799 (395 SE2d 245) (1990).
Constructive knowledge by an owner or occupier of the foreign substance can be established in one of two ways. First, "[c]onstructive knowledge may be inferred where there is evidence that an employee of the owner was in the immediate vicinity of the dangerous condition and could easily have noticed and removed the hazard." Food Giant v. Cooke, 186 Ga. App. 253, 254 (366 SE2d 781) (1988); see also Sain v. K-Mart Corp., 190 Ga. App. 751, 752 (380 SE2d 299) (1989). The evidence was uncontroverted that there were no store employees in the immediate vicinity of the incident; therefore there was no constructive knowledge under the first-prong test.
The second basis for liability based on constructive knowledge is that the owner failed to exercise reasonable care in inspecting the premises. "To sustain a cause of action in the latter type case the plaintiff must show that the foreign substance was on the floor for a length of time sufficient for knowledge of it to be imputed to the defendant. [Cit.]" Alterman Foods, supra at 623; see also Food Giant, supra; Mitchell v. Rainey, 187 Ga. App. 510 (370 SE2d 673) (1988); Fulton-DeKalb County Hosp. Auth. v. Estes, 187 Ga. App. 120 (369 SE2d 262) (1988). This part of the test focuses on whether the foreign substance was on the premises long enough that the owner should have known of it.
According to Smith's companion, the fall occurred between 1:30 and 2:00 p.m. Construing the evidence most favorably for the nonmovant, the liquid could have been on the floor for as long as two and one half hours after the 11:30 a.m. cleaning. In fact, Smith and her friend claimed that upon inspection of the puddle after the fall, they noticed that the puddle seemed to have dried around the edges. Because we cannot exclude the possibility that the substance was on the floor for an unreasonably lengthy period, we conclude that a jury issue existed as to Wal-Mart's constructive knowledge under the first prong of the Alterman two-prong test.
Because a factual issue exists with respect to whether Wal-Mart should have been aware of the liquid on the floor, we proceed to the second prong of the Alterman Foods, supra, test, to determine whether Smith was unaware of the spilled liquid or for some reason attributable to the defendant was prevented from discovering the foreign substance on her own. This part of the test demands that a person exercise ordinary care for her own safety.
" 'In order to recover for a slip and fall resulting from a "foreign substance" such as water on a ramp, "not only must the plaintiff show that the defendant had knowledge of the presence of the foreign substance, but the plaintiff must also show that he was without knowledge of its presence. (Cit.) 'The customer must exercise ordinary care for his own safety, and must by the same degree of care avoid the effect of the merchant's negligence after it becomes apparent to him or in the exercise of ordinary care he should have learned of it. He must make use of all his senses in a reasonable measure amounting to ordinary care in discovering and avoiding those things that might cause hurt to him.' (Cits.)" [Cits.]' " Bowman v. Richardson, 176 Ga. App. 864, 865 (338 SE2d 297) (1985).
Here, Smith's companion saw the liquid puddle and there was no evidence that Wal-Mart was responsible in any way for Smith's failure to see it. In fact, Smith testified at her deposition . . . that had she been looking down there was nothing that would have prevented her from seeing the substance before she fell. "There was no duty to warn her of a condition of which she had knowledge at least equal to that of defendants. [Cits.]" Favour v. Food Lion, 193 Ga. App. 750, 751 (389 SE2d 22) (1989). "This is a 'plain, palpable, and indisputable' case not calling for resolution by a jury. [Cits.]" Favour, supra at 751. The trial court's grant of summary judgment was proper since Smith was not exercising due care for her own safety and therefore, she cannot recover. OCGA 51-11-7; see also Allen v. Big Star Food Market, 172 Ga. App. 879 (324 SE2d 820) (1984).
