Conspiracy carp. Something you will find interesting.
"I read a few articles on the history on the introduction of carp and they described how the Government assisted angling groups to introduce carp and their first attempts to introduce carp failed because the waterways were healthy and the natives out competed them, it wasnt until after farmers destroyed the waterways and natives were struggling that the later introduction of carp became a success, now the carp get blamed for all the damage done by farming/agriculture."
Looks like the presence of carp is merely an indicator of the poor state of health of the waterways. They're not the pest that's causing environmental devastation.

A donkey seems to learn after one mistake. Our Australian government still doesn't seem to realise the devastating consequences of their plans. Atrocious inhuman methods of culling animals with strychnine, 1080 and myxomatosis without any evidence of eradicating these targeted species should have learned us a lesson.
We have already made the mistake of introducing the carp, let us please not make an additional mistake by using a devastating disease of which we cannot oversee the consequences, just serious suffering for fishes and fish owners for generations to come. It is time we learn from our mistakes.
Many people outside the metropolitan area are dependent on surface water, we are too, how are we to replenish our dams, ponds and aquariums in the future?
i agree totally with your comments, a ridiculous and reckless act of destruction yet again at the hands of our Government, not even considering other ways as they think this is by far the best solution, for me and all aquatic/ornamental fish keepers, including business's in the industry of fish farms etc in Australia ,well , we disagree!!


This guide walks you through setting up devices for testing mobile applications.
In order to debug your code on an Android device, you must enable USB debugging on the device. This mode makes your device somewhat more vulnerable to damage - from you and from others - so it should be used with caution. You can enable and disable it between development sessions if you like.
On the device, go to Settings > About .
Switch from Media device (MTP) to Camera (PTP).
On the device, select Settings > Security and set Enable ADB to On.
For more information, see the Amazon developer documentation.
You might also want to enable the Stay awake option, to prevent your Android device from sleeping while plugged into the USB port.
iOS devices must be registered with Apple before you can use them for development or testing. This process is known as Device Provisioning. Follow these directions from Xamarin to get your iOS device ready to go.
Once you have your device provisioned and connected via USB, you can run and debug your app from Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio (via the Mac Build host).
The last two are the most critical to RhinoMobile apps. Large meshes in .3dm files can consume lots of memory; the simulator will try to invoke OutOfMemory warnings, but there will not be as consistent (or realistic) as running and debugging on the device. Finally, OpenGL ES calls will be interpreted differently on the simulator than on the device…it is possible that code working on the simulator will not work on all devices.

The Rose has been renovated and as locals we decided to pop in last week for lunch.
What was a homely, slightly shabby pub is now light, bright and airy with a funky tiled and wood floor. It's still comforting and an easy place to feel relaxed in. The service was warm and friendly.
Menu is pub grub - not fancy but very familiar. I had the veal shnitzel with mash and gravy and Steve had the burger. We shared some onion rings and croquettes.
The food arrived pretty quickly and looked appetising. The brown glossy gravy was particularly tasty looking.
The croquettes were crispy on the outside with a well flavoured oozy centre. They were generous blocks and plenty for two to share. I enjoyed the shnitzel. The meat was a good thickness - I'm not a fan of paper thin shnitzel when there's more crumb than meat but this was a good ratio. The meat was not at all dry and the mash and gravy was comfort food at its best.
Steve enjoyed the burger; it was decent enough. The onion rings were dusted in a vinegar powder which was stingingly sharp but I loved that. Probably not a good choice if you have a mouth ulcer though.
Reviews of The Rose have been negative since the renovations. Admittedly, although we are Fitzroy residents, we were never hugely attached to The Rose. It was another decent pub but we weren't regulars and we don't watch AFL art the pub. In all honesty, we probably had a slight preference for The Marquis of Lorne, The Rainbow or The Napier if we had to choose. But I don't think it deserves the negative reviews which seem to come from those who didn't want their stalwart to change. As an infrequent previous punter, I like the new Rose and I think the food is good pub food. It's not as gastro or gourmet as The Town Hall Fitzroy (another favourite) but it is cheaper and more "traditional" so we can certainly make room for it in our hearts.
Our last visit to Saint Crispin was shamefully a long time ago and with it being so close to home we really have no excuse! And with Saint Crispin offering one course, three course, five course and seven course options there really is a feast for all occasions. And this occasion was a long, lazy Saturday lunch.
We are warmly welcomed and take a seat at a table for two. The mood is relaxed and the pace is exactly how it should be for a weekend lunch. We deliberate over whether we're in for something light and easy or strapped in for the long haul. And the result is we fasten our seatbelts and go seven courses with matched wines. And of course we're enjoying pre lunch aperitifs too!
We're not left waiting for long before some sustenance arrives and it's split pea soup in a shot glass with pancetta crumb. There's also a Gruyere filled profiterole, some sourdough bread with butter and a caramelised onion and cream cheese spread too.
The soup is hearty and obviously anything with bacon is going to capture and win hearts! It's a little thick to come out of the shot glass so there's some uncouth scraping out with the knife. The profiterole oozes out a snowy white filling that is a yummy cheese sauce and the sweet oniony cheesy spread is delicious on the soft white bread.
I love mushrooms and chawan mushi so look forward to this dish. It comes out all golden brown. I'm surprised it's actually cold and cold egg custard doesn't sound appealing but the flavours really win through.
There's crunchy oaty flavoured cracker, slippery mushrooms that are earthy and there's the odd pickled one in there, more slippery textures with the creamy chawan mushi and then more toasty flavours from the barley. It's a harmonious blend of earthiness and nuttiness with a true sense of freshness and cleanliness coming through.
The wine match is an orange wine made from the sauvignon blanc grape but it tastes nothing like a sauvignon blanc. There's no sourness; it's very well rounded and its gentleness just kisses the flavours from the food without overpowering them.
The pace at which the dishes come out is great. We're not waiting overly long but at the same time have long enough to enjoy the wine matches.
The nori is pretty strong and that seaweedy flavour brings out the kangaroo game notes. The nashi and cucumber add freshness from those sea notes balancing out meatiness with some cleaner tones.
This is one of my favourites. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and the pure fish flavour anchored by the salty prawns and sweet onion and squash. The toastiness of the black rice was delicious. I could have eaten this again!
The pork was the first of the meat dishes and it was so pretty on the plate with shades of pink and lilac and purple on the plate. There's a big piece of pork jowl with a crispy layer and a cut of pork neck providing a leaner, denser contrast to the slippery fattiness of the jowl.
I haven't had great experiences with jowl as it is so fatty but this piece and I get on pretty well. I do scrape out the layer of fat in between the crispy bit and the meat as I don't like the texture but the flavour of the meat is delicious. The red cabbage puree and beetroot enhance the sweetness of the meat. I like the blend of a fatty and a lean cut of meat. Some of the beetroot cubes are pretty salty so a slightly lighter touch might have been welcome. Its just on the edge of being ok. Steve eats everything on the platen with gusto; fat and all!
Head chef Joe Grbac serves us our next meat course and he kindly tells us we've been upgraded to the Sher wagyu instead of the chicken. As he tells us about the dish, I can smell an almost tobacco smokiness come through and I almost wonder if Joe has been out for a sneaky ciggy! But I realise as I dig in, it comes from the charred broccoli and anchovy mayo. There almost steely like charred flavours contrast the fresh green veggie notes but the jewel in the crown is obviously the beef.
There's a sticky, sinewy beef check marinaded for a week that just gives with the gentlest of pushes. It's tender and beefy and everything beef cheek should be. That heavy richness is then contrasted by the rump cap and with it being Wagyu it leaves that layer of delicious beefiness in the mouth. I don't need all the anchovy mayonnaise on the plate but that's a personal preference because Steve's plate is another clean round!
I don't eat blue cheese so I skip on the Roquefort and am presented with the apple option. I love that the apples are al dente and not over stewed like in a crumble. The sponge is golden and light and the ice cream is not sweet because the caramel provides the sugar hit. The little cubes of jelly add some concentrated hits of flavour. I was pretty full after the meat dishes but this manages to give me a second wind and I fell good in spite of having ingested so much deliciousness!
Steve loves the creativity of the blue cheese dish. The celery panna cotta hits the spot and he demolishes it. The dish is polarising; I would not touch it with a barge pole but it's another clean plate round from Steve.
I have to confess I'm not a chocolate orange fan so I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy this.
But I enjoy it very much. It's light and there is some crunchiness. The ice cream again is not sugary so if you were to eat it in isolation it might not be great but combined with the tile of choclate cremeux and the mandarins it's delightful. The individual elements are so cleverly balanced. The sum of the whole is so greater than the individual parts. And paired with a Stanton and Killeen topaque this is killer!
It was such a great lunch; finished with cups of tea and madeleines. The pace was perfect, the food fabulous and the service slick. I can't believe we've not been back for so long when it's this good! I think we've always had in our minds it's a bit fancy but really after this lunch, and the warm embrace we've experienced, we are resuming this friendship pronto!
Called in on Saturday just after 6pm after a cinema date with my girlfriend Kirsty. It was a belated birthday get together and we thought we'd have a couple of drinks and some food.
Sake was pretty empty and we were given a choice of sushi bar or table and opted for the comfort of a table.
They were delicious - fresh, fruity, fun and exactly what we were looking for. Service was pretty prompt and quick although they brought us still mineral water when we just wanted Victoria's finest vintage. Our waiter was knowledgeable and proficient and really aside from the water and an attempted delivery of a dish we hadn't order, it was a pretty slick set up.
I've had the prawn shumai at the Hamer Hall premises and I like the noodle casing and prawn filling. Definitely a crowd pleaser.
We ordered two yakitori, the wings and the fillet (unpictured). Both were delicious. The wings had a sticky sweetness whereas the fillet was smoky with a hint of citrus.
Again the rest of our dishes arrive quickly and it's fun to be able to pick and nibble Asian tapas style.
The sashimi is all spankingly fresh. I don't taste the pink grapefruit in the tuna so it makes it fairly standard tuna sashimi. Tasty but not necessarily creative and the pink grapefruit could have made it more than ordinary.
The duck was a bit difficult to eat as it was two big pieces so easy to share but with just chopsticks we couldn't cut it and I tried to bite it but it was just a bit too tough to do that.
It was all executed well and everything tasted good so it hit the expectations but it wasn't mind blowing but I'd happily eat it all again.
We share dessert and it was a very good dessert, Chocolate, honeycomb ice cream - really it's a true crowdpleaser and a delicious way to end things.
Our bill came to $275 and it did include all the food plus 4 cocktails. It's a pricey evening and I've always thought Sake to be expensive but enjoyable and little sister Sake is definitely from the same genepool. It's a slick operation but it's also pretty slick on the wallet.
Last time we were at The Town Mouse was a few years ago so it was time for a revisit and we found ourselves seated at the bar for second sitting. It's a fun and quirky dining room and I do like the vibe. There was a moment of confusion as they tried to locate our booking but that was soon resolved as we discovered it was in our first name not our surname so it's that kind of place where we're known by first names and I welcome that. Friendly familiarity and hospitality from a capable and confident front line crew.
The school prawns are salty and crispy. The tarragon and juniper dip is quite strong in flavour so we go easy on that and I think a plain or simpler mayo would have worked just as well as the prawns were so well seasoned with spice, salt and freshly squeezed lemon.
The smoked duck liver parfait is like a canape. The crispy potato works and the pickled cucumber much needed to cut through the intensity of the parfait. The textures are complementary; crispy and creamy but we find the parfait almost cloying. The flavours are so strong and it's so creamy and rich. I can understand concentrating the flavours given it is only a small bite but even so in it's miniature state it's pretty heavy.
There is some freshness to our next dish which helps revive us after the richness of the parfait and intensity of the tarragon and juniper dish. However, the sour cream doesn't quite get us there. It's enjoyable in the dish if we were eating it in isolation but layering the cream upon the richness of the first two plates is probably not conducive to a well balanced meal.
We continue sharing our dishes and the snapper is well cooked. It comes with a crab sauce which is poured over and also a rouille.
Again it's another intensely flavoured dish and I don't think the rouille is necessary as the crab sauce is rich enough. Flavours are classic seafood and the fish is cooked well but it doesn't help with the richness and heavy feeling of everything we've had so far.
We did question whether to have the creamed corn as we thought it might be too heavy and were going to go with some of the lighter options but our waitress recommended the corn as the way to go.
The corn is delicious but again it's a delicious dish in isolation but after all the creaminess we've had so far in pretty much every dish it really is too much. As is yuzu mayo with the potatoes. The potatoes themselves are lovely; golden and salted and without the mayo, the simple and clean flavour of potato is a very welcome guest amidst all the richness of the other dishes.
Steve and I agreed that we like the feel of The Town Mouse and there's definitely some creativity in the food. But as a collection of dishes we didn't enjoy them and just found it all too intense and too rich. Maybe we selected the wrong combination of dishes.
The front of house staff are extremely capable and experienced; we enjoyed their hospitality. There was a glass smash by our neighbouring diner and the team came together and unobtrusively and efficiently cleaned up the bar, calmly and politely asked the diner not to pick up the glass, threw out any open dishes and re set the working area as if nothing had happened.
The Town Mouse scores pretty high up on the AFR top restaurants in Australia; higher than many much lauded places. Our humble opinion is that it is original and it's worthy of the hats it has achieved but it's not as great as some of the places it has superseded. We weren't blown away by the food and didn't enjoy it enough to want to return. Also the seats at the bar are just so uncomfortable I can't imagine having to sit there again for a meal. Our neighbour at the bar actually ended up standing at the bar to eat and I was pretty close to that too!
Steve and I spent last Saturday night on a bit of an exciting culinary mystery tour - no menu, no choices to make and therefore identifying what goes into the mouth isn't always obvious. Nora offers two sittings and proceedings start when everyone is seated and ready so it's a bit like being at a dinner party except everyone is seated with their own dining companions in different areas. Steve and I enjoy a view up at the bar where the tabletop decorations consists of some tamarind pods, pandan leaf, coconut, lemons and birds eye chillis; an homage to our Thai adventure.
Sarin Rojanametin and Jean Thamthanakorn are the chefs and they calmly work the whole evening delivering course after course with a focus and precision that makes us feel like we are in safe hands. The cool calm delivery is occasionally interrupted by a warm smile on the odd ocassion when they come over to serve and it's very evident that they take pleasure in their hard graft and their creative craft.
Kentaro is the ever polite but always accommodating sommelier and he pairs our dishes with the same commitment and creativity that comes from the kitchen. In fact the whole team along with the wait staff and I don't doubt even the pot washer have that unwavering, steely passion. It's not flamboyant or brash but it's constant, relentless and almost zen like saved from being robotic by genuine smiles and understated warmth.
Individual dishes are brought to us and the pace is pleasantly pacey. Not rushed but no long drawn gaps of boredom either. And as each dish arrives there's always a muted giggle at the cryptic moniker.
When the dishes are delivered, the actual ingredients that I've provided are not actually divulged so a game of guess what I've just eaten ensues and when the dishes are cleared, we get to ask and find out. If you're more patient than I am, you could even wait till the end when you're given the menu.
There's a fresh flabour, some creamy richness and some sweetness. I swear I tasted meat but in the big ingredient reveal, there's no meat. Amazing what egg yolk can do!
The green astroturf lifts up and "beneath the ground" is literally our next dish. Less attractive than the green leaf, it's a while fish bone each that looks very dead and decayed. The whole beneath the ground thing is taken pretty far! There's also something mousse like in what would have been in the fishes head, like its brain...pretty confronting so I make Steve go first!
It's actually really tasty and the fish brain is fresh and not fishy or offal like at all. And the specks of dirt are like dried cuttlefish so very reminiscent of the Asian snack food of my childhood.
So sesban is a type of Egyptian river hemp apparently but that doesn't really help you imagine the flavours as I doubt it's something that is eaten often!
The interesting thing about this is that it truly did loo like a shucked oyster nestled amongst its oyster friends but actually the shell was a type of nutty toasty pastry. This was a deliciously moreish canape type of morsel and it was fresh and sweet with a bit of salty; those great Thai flavour balances.
So it looks and sounds like it will be a crab based broth. The vibrant green basil oil floating in circles and the black basil seed circles make this plate as pretty as a picture.
The broth is cold (I'm never too sure about cold broth or cold soup) but it tastes fresh and there are seafood flavours. I eat a bit of crab only it's not crab it just looks like crab. It's sweet and soft and slippery which are the adjectives I'd use to describe crab and apparently I can use them to describe custard apple!
So I'm thinking noodles with lots of smoky wok flavours like a street stall in Thailand. I get the flavours, the minced meat texture and even the indulgent greasiness but it's not noodles. There's a bite in the texture there that is more vegetable than noodle and it turns out to be papaya.
I could eat a bowlful of this and it really does take me in one mouthful from these premises in Carlton to an Asian night market.
This looks like a piece of fish in crushed ice like how fish used to be delivered to my parents' fish and chip shop in polystyrene boxes.
Oh and yes in the mouth there is definitely some Daft Punk going on. The ice is cold yet there's a chilli heat it leaves behind from the capsicum annuum which is red chilli. Then there's a vinegary pickle tang from the fish followed by some sweetness from the watermelon and the black sesame adds that yummy toastiness. Altogether it comes together like a symphony.
I'd been intrigued by the lovely looking terracotta clay pots in the kitchen and now one was coming towards us. As the lid lifted a smoky aroma escaped and revealed a humble looking brown bun.
I found the flavours muted in this dish. The theatre was fun and the bread was tasty but it was just bread with a flavoured butter. I think the creativity in this dish is in the presentation rather than flavours.
In North east Thailand, Issan people have a reputation for eating practically anything for protein including frogs, birds, snakes, and even insects so I guess this explains the ant eggs not that I saw them. Didn't even know they existed in the dish unti I saw the menu.
The bone was pretty big and there was a lot of marrow to be spooned onto a betel leaf with some black sticky rice, wrapped up and eaten.
Now I'm not a huge bone marrow fan; more so because of the slippery, fatty texture but I don't mind the flavour. So I give it a go. The marrow almost melts into the rice and the leaf offers some freshness.There's also some lemongrass flavours wafting through which lifts the heaviness of the marrow and rice. I actually really enjoy this; meaty marrow and toasty rice, But I want more rice and another leaf to see out the rest of the marrow.
Time to cleanse the palette and prepare the dessert stomach. The fragrant and herbaceous notes are fresh and then there's a hint of something salty and fermented which is the papaya. Interesting but I don't need the saltiness against the fruit flavours.
Apparently this is something that is worth raiding the fridge for. Not for me though. I'm not a huge pumpkin fan especially when it's cold. I understand the sweet pumpkin with the egg custard and vanilla but it wasn't my favourite.
The sweet stuff continues and a little rustic, home made style foil packet arrives revealing what looks like a mini baked potato. Turn the potato over and there's an ooozy gooeyness that looks like melted cheese. But it's a dessert and the ooziness is coconutty eggy custardy filling similar to the fillings in the custard buns at yum cha. But instead of fluffy bun there's a baked potato. Definitely East meets West in a foil packet!
The final dish looks like crumbs on a pandan leaf and we're told to just get in there and eat it all so we fold the leaf and funnel it into an open mouth! I'm not really sure about this being about perspective but it tastes like toffee, banana, golden crumb. All pleasant enough but no Daft Punk!
"We want culinary adventure to be accessible with a menu that pleases the palette and challenges the mind; cooking food simply, but interestingly, leaving people with something to remember without the formality. We want our diners to be excited, for there to be a sense of discovery and also find warm familiarity in our food."
And definitely all those thing happened in the 3 hours we were there. For all the creativity, it's not Vue de Monde and that's not a bad thing. It's humble but innovative; thought provoking but with tones of familiarity.
Given the menu restrictions, it's not a place I'd tell everyone to go but for those open minded enough to give anything a go and that enjoy pushing those food boundaries then this a true gem.

Worthing Football Club boss Adam Hinshelwood says it will be far from an easy ride when his side travel to Bedford Town in the FA Trophy third qualifying round tomorrow.
Bedford, who are sixth in Evo-Stik League South Division 1 Central, had their 13-game unbeaten run ended on Tuesday when they lost 1-0 at Peterborough Sports.
Worthing are flying high themselves, sitting third in the Bostik League Premier Division, but could be without nine players for the game.
Alex Parsons and Darren Budd are both suspended after collecting two bookings in the competition, Reece Meekums and Zack Newton are both unavailable owing to the loan arrangements with their parent clubs and Aarran Racine, Alfie Young, Lucas Covolan and Ollie Pearce are all set to miss out through injury.
Ricky Aguiar is also a doubt after picking up a knock on Tuesday but Hinshelwood hopes defender Joel Colbran will be fit to return.
He said: "It's going to be a tough test. I spoke to someone at Chipstead who gave me a bit of a rundown on how Bedford play and he said they're a good side.
"Anyone who is thinking it's going to be a day out watching Worthing get a nice, easy win is going to be in for a shock.
"It's going to be a tough game. We've had a few tricky away games in cup competitions this season and we're not expecting this to be any different.
If Saturday's match is drawn, the replay will be at Woodside Road on Tuesday (7.45pm). If the game is decided, Worthing will be away to Brightlingsea Regent in the league on Tuesday.

Sir Heneage Finch, né le  et mort le , est un avocat et homme politique anglais. Président de la Chambre des communes en 1626, il s'avère incapable de gérer le conflit ouvert qui s'ouvre entre les députés et le roi Charles .

Biographie
Il naît au domicile familial près de Canterbury, cinquième fils de Sir Moyle Finch, député à la Chambre des communes du Parlement d'Angleterre à diverses reprises entre 1576 et 1601. Vers 1592, à l'âge de 11 ou 12 ans, il entame des études au Trinity College de l'université de Cambridge, dont il obtient un diplôme de Bachelor of Arts (licence de lettres) en 1596. Il étudie ensuite le droit au Inner Temple à Londres, et est appelé au barreau en 1606.

Avec l'appui de son beau-frère Sir William Twysden, député et influent propriétaire terrien, il est élu à son tour député à la Chambre des communes à l'occasion d'une élection partielle en décembre 1607 dans la circonscription de Rye, ville du Sussex. Le parlement élu en 1604 n'étant pas alors en session, ce n'est qu'en  qu'il commence à siéger. En juillet de cette même année, il se range du côté des députés qui contestent au roi Jacques  le droit d'imposer seul de nouveaux droits de douane ; il prend la parole pour arguer que le roi doit agir dans le cadre des lois établies, et que la législation existante ne lui permet pas d'entraver la libre circulation de marchands anglais dans les ports du royaume. Il ajoute que le monarque ne peut d'ailleurs non plus décréter un état de guerre que dans le cadre prévu par la loi. La ville de Rye étant l'un des « Cinq-Ports » jouissant de privilèges depuis le Moyen-Âge, la question des droits de douane dans les ports importe à ses électeurs.

En 1610 également, il est nommé membre d'une commission parlementaire constituée de six députés juristes, chargée par le roi de rationaliser la législation anglaise en identifiant les lois tombées en désuétude et devant être abrogées, et en codifiant les lois restantes. Travaillant de concert avec les juristes du gouvernement, la commission s'y attelle durant six ans, bien au-delà de la dissolution du parlement en 1611 ; Finch en demeure membre bien qu'il ne soit pas député au parlement suivant en 1614.

En 1611, son père s'achète un titre de baronnet. La signification de ce titre étant incertaine, Heneage Finch obtient de plaider devant le roi pour que le titre de baronnet soit considéré équivalant à celui de banneret. Durant son allocution, il irrite toutefois Jacques  à deux reprises, ce dernier s'exclamant avec mépris : « Je m'étonne de cet homme qui semblerait savoir mes intentions, et qui raisonne non seulement contre ce que j'ai pu dire mais contre ce que je pourrais dire ». Et ajoute que Finch « n'a rien dit qui vaille la peine de répondre ». Ce dernier, humilié, est réduit au silence et subit la désapprobation durable du monarque. Pour autant, quelques années plus tard il est employé durant plusieurs années comme conseiller juridique par le prince Charles, qui ne partage pas l'opinion de son père à son égard.

Il est élu député de Looe-ouest, bourg pourri de Cornouailles, au parlement de 1621. Cette même année il devient Recorder (juge) de Londres. En sa qualité de juge et député, il joue un rôle important dans le processus d'impeachment (destitution) mené par la Chambre des communes contre le barrister (avocat) catholique Edward Floyd, accusé d'avoir tenu des propos insultants à l'encontre du comte Frédéric V du Palatinat. Heneage Finch maintient, au mépris de tout précédent, que la Chambre peut destituer une personnes extérieure à la Chambre, sans procès ni confession. En cela, la Chambre des communes outrepasse clairement ses prérogatives, comme le lui rappelle sévèrement la Chambre des lords.

En  il prend part à la rédaction du projet de loi qui abroge des centaines de lois caduques, identifiées comme telles par la commission de juristes dont il avait été membre. En décembre, il conseille à la Chambre de refuser la demande du roi qui souhaite que les députés rédigent clairement une liste justifiée de leurs propres prérogatives : « car si nous omettons quelque chose, nous nous en excluons ; le roi dira que si nous avions d'autres privilèges nous les eussions revendiqués et exprimés dans cet écrit ». La liste n'est effectivement jamais rédigée. Le parlement est dissous peu après, et Heneage Finch se consacre un temps, avec succès, à sa carrière d'avocat. Il est fait chevalier en , et est élu député de la cité de Londres pour le parlement de 1624, son élection étant quasi automatique de par sa fonction de Recorder de la ville. En tant que député de Londres, il défend les intérêts des marchands de la capitale contre les impôts voulus par le gouvernement. Il est réélu pour le parlement de 1625, puis de 1626. Sur proposition de Thomas Coventry, lord keeper du grand sceau d'Angleterre, les députés élisent Heneage Finch président de la Chambre des communes pour ce parlement de 1626.

Alors qu'il cherche à y faire voter les subsides demandées par le roi Charles , les députés insistent pour se concentrer sur un examen de ce qu'ils estiment être l'influence néfaste de George Villiers, duc de Buckingham, sur le gouvernement. Ignorant leur président, ils se constituent en commissions parlementaires à cet effet. Heneage Finch écrit dans son journal privé que la Chambre est « ingérable », et doit faire face dans le même temps à l'impatience du roi. Le , le monarque fait arrêter les députés Sir Dudley Digges et Sir John Eliot dans l'enceinte même du Parlement, et les fait emprisonner à la tour de Londres pour leur opposition au duc de Buckingham. Les députés, furieux, refusent de siéger, malgré la tentative de leur président de poursuivre la session en cours. Le lendemain, ils ordonnent à un Heneage Finch impuissant de rester assis, et l'empêchent de présider. Le surlendemain, il abandonne la tâche et se retire de la Chambre. Les députés n'acceptent de reprendre leurs fonctions que le , après la libération des deux hommes. Le roi dissout le parlement en juin.

En l'absence de crédits attribués par le Parlement, Charles  introduit un prêt forcé. Heneage Finch est l'un des commissaires nommés pour collecter ce prêt à Londres. Dans le même temps, il est paradoxalement l'avocat de ceux qui refusent de payer en , mais son apparent « enthousiasme » au service de ce gouvernement impopulaire le discrédite et l'empêche d'être réélu député en 1628. C'est son cousin John qui présidera le parlement de 1628.

Veuf depuis le printemps 1627, Heneage Finch épouse en  une riche héritière, Elizabeth Bennett, et s'achète un manoir à Kensington, qui sera vendu plus tard par son petit-fils Daniel à la famille royale, devenant le palais de Kensington. Il meurt en , peu avant son  anniversaire, à la suite d'« une longue maladie », et est inhumé à l'église du village de Ravenstone dans le Buckinghamshire. Sa fille Anne est une philosophe de l'école des platoniciens de Cambridge. Son fils Heneage, le demi-frère d'Anne, sera anobli par Charles II, dont il sera le Lord grand chancelier.

Upfront '07
Author Topic: Upfront '07 (Read 4094 times)
NEW YORK, April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Intensifying its leadership role by reaching the broadest swath of Black viewers across multiple media platforms, BET Networks today reinforced their dominance by unveiling the most ambitious slate of programming in its 26-year history. At its annual Upfront presentation, BET Chairman and CEO Debra Lee, along with President of Entertainment, Reginald Hudlin, announced the slate of 16 new original shows to a capacity audience of advertisers, media buyers, corporate clients, executives and top-tier media outlets at New York's Manhattan Center Studios.
"BET Networks is the number one media destination for African Americans and consumers of Black culture," said Lee. "Through creativity, collaboration and innovation, the next 12 months will see an unprecedented amount of new content from BET Networks. We are making our biggest investment ever in original programming and digital entertainment; and key strategic additions to our strong executive team - we will not only extend our lead, but expand it."
When Lee took over the CEO post two years ago, she ushered in a new era of original programming for the network. She kicked things off with the hiring of Hudlin, and together they have steadily increased its investment in developing innovative signature series and specials. Recently, Lee added three new executives to BET's senior management team in marketing and communications to better meet the needs of its original programming and digital expansion strategy; creating an integrated marketing department to develop high-impact, innovative cross-platform marketing solutions as well as integrate clients' brands into BET Networks programming across all platforms.
Today, BET is recognized as the #1 provider of original Black programming. According to a 2006 study by Jack Myers Media, BET also ranks #1 among all networks in viewers more likely to purchase a product because they "consider advertising on the network to be a recommendation."
"We have taken BET to a new level in the past year, and it's only the beginning," said Hudlin, about BET's new strategy. "With the incredible talent in front of and behind the camera that is flocking to BET, we are able to take chances, make hits, and strengthen our relevance and connection with the Black community."
With six of BET's top ten shows in history such as Lil' Kim: Countdown to Lockdown and American Gangster firmly under his belt, Hudlin's programming approach includes the development of 16 original series for primetime on the network, aimed at the widest possible demographic, while remaining focused on the core audience of 18 - 34. Genres range from scripted dramas, animation and sports, to reality, competition, music and of course BET's world-class mega- specials.
Louis Carr, BET Networks President of Media Sales notes how the network's programming expansion further widens the gap in the network's dominance over the next closest competitor. "No one has the number of hours, genres, or specials in original programming targeted directly to African-Americans like we do, and our 30 percent increase in the network's original programming budget will extend that lead," he cited.
With each of its new hit shows setting a ratings record in 2006, the most- watched year in the network's history, which now reaches approximately 85 million homes - BET has also aggressively expanded the way it connects audiences with the newly formed Digital Media Group. The cornerstone is BET.com, which allows the audience to "interact" with programming through exclusive video clips, photo galleries, discussion forums, polls, voting, interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
"We have developed digital assets for every platform," said Scott Mills, President of BET's Digital Media Group. "From launching websites and broadband destinations, to creating mobile subscription services and expanding our VOD offerings and digital downloads, our digital assets represent the broadest array of targeted digital properties in the industry."
BET's 2007 programming grid will soon be flush with new original productions premiering this summer and fall, including:
Scripted Series -- SOMEBODIES - The executive producers of THE BERNIE MAC SHOW bring BET their first original scripted series. It's not set in New York or Los Angeles but in a city where everyday people live - Athens, Georgia. Athens is known as the home of REM and the B-52's. It's also the home of a group of black slackers caught in that awkward period between college and a "real career" - when you are a nobody trying to be a somebody. This single-camera sitcom is based on the film of the same nature that was a hit at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. The show captures a voice of a generation as they navigate their way through life, love and careers.

Reg this is truly amazing stuff. As someone who is kicking a** right now in his profession (hey if you cant pat your own back right?) I know you are on cloud nine right now. Highest ratings ever. That is some unadulterated, undeniable sh*t right there. Damn it must feel good to produce and every last one of those shows got a thump to it and I haven't seen them on tv before. The days of BET critic is gone. Big ups!!!
Will there be a preview of these shows, or a screening or something? I know these things are exclusive sometimes but this is so big I would love to attend? Or do t/v not work like the movies?

Honoring Staff Sergeant and Eagle Scout David Wyatt
It is with a very heavy heart we reflect on the recent event in Chattanooga and the tragic loss of four Marines and one sailor who represent the best about our country. Each and every day the women and men who volunteer as soldiers, sailors, airmen, coastguardsmen and Marines, along with their families, serve this nation giving us a debt that can't be repaid.
Today, the Boy Scouts of America honors Staff Sergeant David Wyatt who is celebrated for his compassion, good nature, and dedication to both our nation and his fellow Marines. We remember Wyatt as an American hero and an esteemed Eagle Scout.
This week, Wyatt's sister told CBS's THV11 that Wyatt becoming an Eagle Scout was "a great honor to his family." In a CBS News tribute to the Chattanooga shooting victims, Wyatt's Scoutmaster, Tony Ward, shared how the young Scout would race his friends up mountains. Ward's son and Wyatt were good friends and worked at Boy Scout camp together.
His youth leadership set the precedent for the rest of Wyatt's life. After the 9/11 attacks, Wyatt's patriotism lead him to join the United States Marine Corps where he served two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. After returning to the United States, Wyatt proved to be a mentor for fellow Marines.
Husband and father to two young children, Wyatt modeled the way for his Cub Scout son, whose Pack is dedicated to helping the family in any way possible.
Staff Sergeant David Wyatt will be buried with full military honors at the Chattanooga National Cemetery, a fitting tribute to this hero and Eagle Scout. Scouts from the Cherokee Area Council will help honor him Friday.
If you are a Scout or Scouter in the Chattanooga area who would like to participate, watch for updates in the near future on the Cherokee Area Council's site. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.

I still cook. Often. And I even try new recipes occasionally. I just rarely have time to sit down and write.
However, this is a recipe I want to remember. I have made it a couple times now. It is fairly easy to make and is quite tasty.
Chicken in Lemon Butter Sauce. Yum.
Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
Melt 2 Tbsp butter in an oven-proof skillet (I highly recommend cast iron) on medium high heat. Brown chicken on both sides for a few minutes. Set chicken aside.
Add remaining Tbsp butter and garlic. Cook for a minute or two, browning garlic. Then add heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan, lemon juice, and thyme. Bring to a boil.
At this point, you may add spinach if you are using it. Cook a few minutes until it is wilted and the sauce has thickened.
We ate ours with rice, bread, and salad.
But this is a recipe I do want to remember. I found it here. I have made it twice now and have loved it both times. Plus it is easy and fairly quick. My favorite combination.
Mix brown sugar and spices/seasonings. Rub the sugar mixture into the pork chops. I just put the mixture into a bowl then kind of "dredge" the chops in it.
Heat olive oil in a skillet at medium/high heat. I use a cast iron skillet because it can go into the oven.
Once the oil is hot add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook about 5 minutes on each side until they are browned.
Place in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes (if you are NOT using a cast iron skillet, transfer to something oven safe) to thoroughly cook the pork chops.
Note: I don't do paprika or cayenne due to food issues for one of my kiddos. So I just add a little of my own choices like a little onion powder and white pepper).
We ate this meal with half baked potatoes (completely baked but halved :) ) and French bread. It is quite simple, quite good!
This past week I was trying to think of what I wanted to make for our "Mexican" food (which we typically have once a week). The only problem is I am out of tortillas and tostada shells that I typically use for those meals. So I thought, "What about nachos?"
It reminds me a lot of the tostada recipe I use but with chips instead (and quicker). So I decided to give it a try.
I am happy to report that we have a new "easy go to" recipe!
Optional: Sour cream, salsa, tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, olives, etc.
Add taco seasoning to ground beef according to package directions. Since I use homemade seasoning, I just added about 1/2 cup water. Simmer for just a little bit.
In a casserole dish (or in a cast iron skillet which is what I did), spread the refried beans.
Sprinkle the onion on top. I also added some cilantro just because I love cilantro.
Spread ground beef on top.
The original recipe suggests tucking the chips around the edges of the mixture for the last 5 minutes but we ended up just putting some of this on our own chips.
Like I said, simple but good.
As you can see, I added avocado, sour cream, and salsa.
One day my dear friend Carol mentioned a favorite pork chop recipe she had found on Pinterest. She told me how easy it was and how good it was. That was all I needed to hear. So a few days later I perused her Pinterest page and found the link. I could not wait to make them. And the verdict is? Yes, definitely a keeper. We will be having this again. Soon!
Combine the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, black pepper, and garlic powder on a plate or in a shallow bowl.
Spray/rub olive oil onto the pork chops.
Dip into the cheese mixture, covering the pork chops completely.
Place on a cookie sheet (I just covered one with Parchment paper).
The other night I was cleaning out my fridge. You know, like that deep cleaning. Pull everything out. Toss the old stuff. Wipe down/wash the shelves. Put things back nice and neat. It was quite an exciting evening.
Then I remembered that I had told my kids I would make breakfast for the morning.
At this point, it was maybe 11 p.m. And I had more work to do.
I searched for quick and easy cinnamon rolls.
And this recipe popped up.
So they aren't exactly cinnamon rolls.
But they looked easy, fairly quick, and tasty, so I went for it.
Because of our food issues at our house, I had to change it up just a little bit. The original recipe uses butterscotch pudding mix (and I am pretty sure my sister does a similar recipe with vanilla pudding mix). We can't/don't do instant pudding mixes, so I did no pudding at all.
And it still worked for us.
If you are using nuts (we didn't this time), spread the nuts in the pan first.
Place 9 frozen dinner rolls in the pan.
Mix the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread half the mixture over the frozen rolls.
Place 9 more frozen dinner rolls in the pan (like a second layer).
Spread the second half of the butter mixture over the rolls.
Cover loosely with parchment paper.
The next morning, you will find a risen mound of dough and butter yumminess.
Allow to cool slightly then invert onto a serving platter.
You can stop there and probably be fine.
Or you can add a little cream cheese frosting.
Use a mixture to cream the cream cheese and butter together.
Add in powdered sugar a little at a time until it is light and fluffy.
Anyway, I have been making these for a while but never got around to posting them.
I don't remember how I found the recipe, but I am glad I did.
When I eat baked potato soup, I always want some bread with it. I mean, can't have enough carbs/starch, right?
So when i saw these, bread bowls, it seemed like THE way to go.
The original recipe involves a bread machine. If you know me at all, I typically prefer to knead and mix by hand. So I do. Either way, it is easy. And delicious.
This recipe makes 4. I sometimes halve it just to make a couple or double it to make more (then freeze any leftovers). My recipe is for hand mixing. For the bread machine, check out the original recipe.
Add yeast and sugar to the warm water in a bowl. Give a few minutes to "foam" (to show the yeast is working). Then add in the olive oil, Parmesan, flour, and salt.
Knead for a few minutes, adding flour as needed. It should not be too sticky.
Cover the bowl with a warm towel and set aside to rise. Mine typically takes about an hour, but house temperature and weather can play into it.
After the dough has doubled in size, punch it down. Divide the dough into four parts, shaping them into balls. Place on a greased cookie sheet (I typically use parchment paper). Let the dough balls rise for about 30 minutes.
Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
This picture doesn't do this dish justice. Oh, it showcases the pork chops perfectly (thanks to the Hubs for taking it). But what you can't see is the pile of tender potatoes underneath the broth/sauce.
The one and only negative about this meal was that it needed to cook for an hour and a half. By the time you throw in prep time, it takes about 2 hours total. That isn't a big deal on a Saturday. On a Monday, it meant a late dinner for us.
In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour over medium heat. Add the chicken broth, stirring often until it begins to thicken and bubble. (I used a whisk to remove lumps) Then cook one minute longer. Add salt/pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet. Brown the pork chops (each side), sprinkling the sage, salt, and pepper over the meat as it cooks.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour. After an hour, remove the aluminum foil and continue to cook for another 30 minutes.
It is two hours after dinner here, and my house still smells amazing.
This blog is just one mom's avenue for sharing recipes that work for us.

Chelsea transfer ban appeal date set for November 20
Monday 4 November 2019 21:16, UK
Image: Chelsea's appeal will be heard later this month
Chelsea's appeal against a transfer ban by FIFA for breaking rules to sign youth players from abroad will be heard on November 20 at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
CAS announced the hearing date on Monday, with a verdict due before the January transfer window.
Chelsea served the first half of their one-year ban - imposed in February - on registering new players during the summer transfer window.
The club did not seek to freeze the FIFA sanction while preparing the appeal to CAS.
Image: Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard would be able to make signings in January if the club's appeal is successful
FIFA's disciplinary and appeal committees have said Chelsea violated 150 rules protecting minors from trafficking, in cases involving about 70 players.
Chelsea were also judged to have broken rules prohibiting third-party influence on players. FIFA imposed a fine of £470,000.
Chelsea hang on at Watford to go third
Lampard 'blessed' by Chelsea talent
The club has denied wrongdoing, but were unsuccessful in overturning the decision when they presented
their case to FIFA's appeals committee in April.

6.55pm, MON: Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was snubbed today by the owner of a Chinese shop while he was on a door-to-door campaign in Pekan Lunas.
As Abdullah entered the shop, the owner shut the door in his face, leaving the VIP visitor flabbergasted.
On another occasion, when he entered a Chinese restaurant to shake hands with the people, some left and walked to the back of the shop in an attempt to avoid contact with the man whom many have endearingly addressed as "Pak Lah".
A little girl, who was among the people who greeted Abdullah, was heard to remark, "This is only the DPM. The Prime Minister should visit us, but where is he?"
Mahathir was scheduled to visit Taman Selasih in Kulim this morning but failed to do turn up. Only the Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) truck was waiting for him at the BN operations centre.
Abdullah was accompanied by Health Minister Chua Jui Meng, the Barisan Nasional candidate for the Lunas by-election S Anthonysamy and a group of 30 Indian supporters.
He was also met by Keadilan supporters who handed him their flyers, as there were two BA centres in Pekan Lunas and he could not avoid bumping into them. Upon seeing Abdullah, they shouted 'reformasi' slogans.
However, Abdullah is still confident that BN will win the election come Nov 29 which will see the end of the three-cornered fight for Lunas between Anthonysamy, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail for BA and S Letchumanan as the Independent candidate.
The internal squabble between DAP and Keadilan over the selection of the BA candidate which was highlighted in the media the past week seemed to have fueled BN's chances to retain the Lunas seat which fell vacant following the death of state assemblyman Dr Joe Fernandez on Nov 4.
"DAP does not seem to have a firm stand," Abdullah told reporters after visiting Pekan Lunas.
"At one time they say that this fight (Lunas) is for the people to reprimand their party but the next moment they issue another statement," he added.
Abdullah was asked whether the disagreement displayed by DAP and Keadilan was a sandiwara.

Gunnedah CEF puts name out there for young people in community
By CEFSeptember 19, 2018 No Comments
Country Education Foundation of Gunnedah opens applications for 2019
By Vanessa Höhnke
Applications are open for the Country Education Foundation (CEF) of Gunnedah.
The fund assists university and TAFE students who need to leave home to pursue tertiary education.
St Mary's College teachers Michael Masige and Vicki Isbester are now facilitating the funds and said funds were recently boosted by grants from the Commonwealth Bank and Pacific National.
"We have an understanding of the financial strain of tertiary study are keen to support the young people of Gunnedah in pursuing their chosen careers," chair Vicki Isbester said.
"We recognise that the cost of rural students pursuing their post high school goals is often much greater than those of their metropolitan counterparts and that sometimes these costs can be prohibitive."
CEF supports a diverse range of education and career pursuits including apprenticeships, traineeships, cadetships, degrees, diplomas and certificate level studies or entry careers. The local foundation reimburses the student for a pre-agreed expense or pays the goods and services providers directly.

Gunnedah girl Issy Hunt was a recipient of a grant earlier this year before she headed off to Bathurst to start a Bachelor of Paramedicine with integrated honours at Charles Sturt University.
The former St Mary's College student said the grant helped her to purchase a "much-needed" paramedic uniform and equipment for her three-year degree.
"It also assisted greatly in paying for regular accommodation as I am a full-time student studying on campus," she said.
"For a student moving to a completely different town four hours away from my home, relying on on-campus accommodation and the funding for this can seem quite daunting.
"The CEF has been incredible in making the transition a success and achievable. I recommend this scholarship to anyone and everyone attempting to make a similar transition into their future."
Ms Isbester said CEF fundraises throughout the year and accepts donations from local residents and businesses in order to provide financial grants to students who need an extra helping hand.
"We would like to invite any other businesses who would like to make a contribution to contact us," Ms Isbester said.
Grants are available to local youth who have lived and/or attended school in the region for the majority of their high school years. The four essential selection criteria for the applicant are demonstrating financial need; aged 16-25 years; attended school or currently reside in the region covered by CEF Gunnedah; and shown commitment to achieving goals.
Grant applications are open until December 31, with short-listed applicants to be invited for an interview with their local committee. To apply online, visit https://cef.org.au/

Scholarships make the impossible possible for country students


Competing for the Dunn Cup the inaugural darts match between the Ebor Players & Parish Council took place recently at the Ebor Inn.
Played on a match play format with a best of 5 rubbers, first up were the ladies doubles with Chris Gajewicz & Diane Curran representing the Players and Cllr. Catherine Bruce (ex Barclays Bank darts team) & Clerk Cayley Godfrey representing the Council. After a fine 100+ start from Cllr. Bruce the Players eventually ground them down to secure victory in a close fought match. First blood to the Players.
Next up in the Mixed Doubles were David 'The Dame' Rose with Bev Linfoot against Jo Bewley & Cllr. Andrew Dunn. Another close match ensued, the Players needed 11 to finish with Mrs Linfoot duly obliging. 2.0 to the Players.
Mens Doubles next to the tune 'where have all the young men gone?' not gone to London but defected to the Parish Council, the Players were represented by Lisa Thornton & Tracey Patrick reprising their Rank & Phile role from last years Panto. Opposing them were the Parish Council Dream team of Chairman Stewart Harrison and Tom 'Traitor' Davis. However dream team or no they were soon put to the sword by Thornton & Patrick showing that they 'weren't in trouble' at all to take an unassailable lead for the Players.
The remaining two singles matches were for pride only with Julia Sykes against Cllr. Bruce. Sykes forgot which game she was playing with a most aggressive follow through (service style) which saw her trip over the ocky at one stage (you needed to be there). Nevertheless, despite an unconventional style and in a very close match she triumphed to give the Players a 4-0 lead. A whitewash beckoned.
Up steps team captain Liam Godfrey against No 1 seed Cllr. Chris Dale to uphold the honour of our elected representatives. After early exchanges the match was delicately poised Godfrey needing 5 and Dale 10. The latter holed out on 10 to prevent the whitewash.
An enjoyable night was had by all, thanks must go to the Ebor Inn for hosting the event and providing food, and the Parish Council for being such good sports.


Paul the Octopus (26 January 2008 – 26 October 2010) was a common octopus who supposedly predicted the results of association football matches. He made many accurate predictions in the 2010 World Cup which brought him worldwide attention as an animal oracle.
There have been allegations of doping in the Tour de France since the race began in 1903. Early Tour riders consumed alcohol and used ether, among other substances, as a means of dulling the pain of competing in endurance cycling. Riders began using substances as a means of increasing performance rather than dulling the senses, and organizing bodies such as the Tour and the International Cycling Union (UCI), as well as government bodies, enacted policies to combat the practice.
John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 – May 2, 1972) was the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States, appointed director of the Bureau of Investigation—predecessor to the FBI—in 1924. He was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, where he remained director until his death in 1972 at age 77. Hoover is credited with building the FBI into a larger crime-fighting agency, and with instituting a number of modernizations to police technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories.

Q: php linebreak causes string value to disappear I have some php querying and printing the info of a mysql table on a medical recruitment website.
Sometimes the users enter, causing line breaks where I would rather not have them, because
it affects the layout of the rendered HTML table in a way that it shouldn't.
I can trim the strings when they fill in the forms and the data get written into the table, but there's already a lot of data there, so i decided to remove the line breaks on the page
where php reads and prints the results.
i declared one of the strings where this causes trouble as such:
$specialtr = trim($special, "\n");

and then where the html table gets rendered:
echo '' . $specialtr . '	';

Here is the whole code:
All the code works, it's only the parts above that I added that now causes the column with $specialtr variable not to print/print as empty.
    <form action="selected.php" method="POST">

<?php
$dbhost = 'xxx';
$dbuser = 'xxx';
$dbpass = 'xxx';
$dbname = 'xxx';

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die (mysql_error($conn));
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error($conn));

$specialtr = trim($special, "\n");

echo '
';

$query = 'SELECT userid FROM employee
      ORDER BY userid ASC';
$result = mysql_query($query, $conn) or die(mysql_error($conn));

$num_entries = mysql_num_rows($result);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
foreach ($row as $value) {
echo '
';
echo '<input type="radio" name="employee" value="' . $row['userid'] . '"/>	';
echo 'Select	';
}
}

echo '
';
echo '
';

?>

<?php
echo '
';
echo '
';
$query = 'SELECT userid, name, surname, sex, age, nationality, email, telnr, special FROM employee
      ORDER BY userid ASC';
$result = mysql_query($query, $conn) or die(mysql_error($conn));
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
extract($row);
echo '' . $userid . '	';
echo '' . $name . '	';
echo '' . $surname . '	';
echo '' . $sex . '	';
echo '' . $age . '	';
echo '' . $nationality . '	';
echo '' . $email . '	';
echo '' . $telnr . '	';
echo '' . $specialtr . '	';
echo '
';
}
echo '
';
?>

<input type="submit" name="go" value="Go!" />
</form>

The code worked well enough, but since I added the trim, that entire column (the $special column disappears).
I hope maybe someone can tell me why it disappears or if my syntax has a little mistake.

A: Using extract() like that is a horrible thing. The function should be avoided as a general rule.
Also note that you're doing your trim() call BEFORE $special is defined, so your $specialtr variable is going to be an empty string. Calling the function before you start fetching your database results and extracting a result row into $special will not magically apply trim() to reach row you've fetched. If you want the results to be trimmed as you fetch them, then you have to apply the trim AFTER you do the fetch:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo '' . $row['userid'] . '	';
    ...
    echo '' . trim($row['special']) . '	';
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Deborah Vallier is living proof that high doses of opioid medication can safely relieve pain and improve quality of life. The 42-year old Michigan woman says her chronic back pain was so bad before she started getting high dose opioids that she contemplated suicide.
"I was so bad that I spent most of my time in bed. I didn't leave my house for almost two years, except for doctor's appointments," Vallier says.
After seeing over a dozen doctors in her home state and getting little pain relief, Vallier flew to California last April to see Dr. Forest Tennant, a prominent pain specialist.
It was Tennant who diagnosed Vallier with adhesive arachnoiditis, a disabling, incurable and painful inflammation of nerves in her spine. Tennant put Vallier on a regimen of hormones and opioid medication – a dose more than double the highest amount recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is 90mg morphine equivalent dose (MED).
"I would say I'm close to close to 200mg," Vallier says.
That kind of high dose would be inappropriate – even dangerous – for most pain patients. But for Vallier and about 100 other intractable pain patients that Tennant sees, it's not unusual at all. Tennant puts many on multiple medications that include opioids, anti-depressants, hormones, muscle relaxants and benzodiazepines, a class of anti-anxiety medication. Patients from 25 different states see Tennant and most consider him a life saver.
"I credit him with saving my life. Absolutely, no doubt," says Dale Rice.
But to the Drug Enforcement Administration, those high doses of pain medication and multiple prescriptions to out-of-state patients are signs of criminal activity and drug diversion.
In November, DEA agents raided Tennant's home and pain clinic in West Covina, CA, using a search warrant that alleged Tennant was part of a drug trafficking organization and insinuated that his patients were selling their drugs on the black market. In early December, the DEA used another search warrant to raid Sunny Hills Pharmacy in Fullerton, CA, where 19 of Tennant's patients get their prescriptions filled.
"I know based on my training and experience that patients traveling long distances to obtain controlled substance prescriptions is another 'red flag' of drug abuse and addiction. The out-of-state patients also received multiple opiate and benzodiazepine drug cocktails," wrote lead DEA investigator Stephanie Kolb, who according to her LinkedIn profile was self-employed as a dog walker and pet groomer before she started working for the DEA in 2012.
Judging by the search warrants, the medical experts hired by the DEA as consultants in the Tennant case seemed unfamiliar with the nature of his practice. In the Sunny Hills search warrant, Kolb quoted Dr. Timothy Munzing, a family practice physician who reviewed Tennant's prescribing records.
"I find to a high level of certainty that after review of the medical records… that Dr. Tennant failed to meet the requirements in prescribing these dangerous medications. These prescribing patterns are highly suspicious for medication abuse/and or diversion. If the patients are actually using all the medications prescribed, they are at high risk for addiction, overdose, and death," Munzing wrote.
Munzing is an experienced family practice physician who has worked as a consultant for the DEA and the Medical Board of California for several years.
According to GovTribe, a website that tracks payments to federal contractors, Munzing is paid $300 an hour by the DEA to work as an expert witness and to review patient records. Munzing was paid about $45,000 by the DEA during the period Tennant's prescribing records were under review.
Vallier says Munzing is not qualified to critique Tennant's medical practice.
"This is almost like having a proctologist be the advisor for the American Dental Association. Just because he's an MD does not mean he is trained for intractable pain," she said.
Tennant denies any wrongdoing, has not been charged with a crime and – after three years of investigation -- the DEA has not publicly produced evidence that any of his patients have overdosed, been harmed by his treatments, or that they are selling their drugs. Tennant's clinic also remains open.
But the fallout from the DEA raids has frightened many of Tennant's patients and left some without adequate medication. 53-year old Dale Rice used to get his prescriptions filled at Sunny Hills, but after the pharmacy was raided he was told to go elsewhere. Rice found another pharmacy in Rancho Cucamonga, but the pharmacist there is only willing to fill some of his high dose opioid prescriptions. Rice estimates he's now only taking about half of his regular dose of opioids.
"I thought the hardest part was dealing with the insurance company, and now I can't get a prescription filled," says Rice, who suffers intractable pain from arachnoiditis, scoliosis, arthritis and failed back surgery. Like many of Tennant's patients, Rice is also a rapid metabolizer of opioids and gets only a fraction of the pain relief other patients get from them.
"You pull the rug out from under me with all these medications and it's hard on the body. Dr. Tennant told me I could die from adrenal failure, a stroke, a massive heart attack, anything like that," Rice told PNN. "I'm afraid I'm going to die. I'm afraid I could drop dead right now.
Another Tennant patient worried about her future is Trini Yeager, a 59-year old California woman who developed arachnoiditis after a failed back surgery and a misplaced epidural steroid injection into her spine. Once very fit and active, Yeager now has trouble walking and spends most of her day in bed.
"What's going on is absolutely outlandish and just very corrupt in my opinion," Yeager says. "I'm just shocked beyond belief that they would do this to Dr. Tennant.
Yeager takes multiple opioid medications at the highest doses available, and even then gets only limited pain relief. Asked what would happen if her dosage was brought within the CDC opioid guidelines, she spoke bluntly and without hesitation.
The agency made a public show out of the pharmacy raids, inviting television cameras to record DEA agents hauling medical records out of one Southern California pharmacy.
"I don't prescribe medication, doctors prescribe medication," pharmacy owner David Rubin told KNBC-TV. "I'm not like one of those pharmacies you read about on TV. Everything is documented everything is crosschecked with the doctors."
"We only went after the pharmacies that we thought were prescribing or putting drugs on the street that had no obvious medical reason to do so," said David Downing, the special agent in charge of the investigation.
The DEA may just be getting started. Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently ordered all U.S. Attorneys to appoint "opioid coordinators" in their districts to monitor opioid prescriptions and to convene local law enforcement task forces to identify more doctors and pharmacies for prosecution.
Ironically, a few days after the raid on Sunny Hills, a teenage drug courier was caught in San Ysidro, CA at the Mexican border attempting to smuggle illicit fentanyl into the U.S. Nearly 78 pounds of fentanyl -- a synthetic opioid up to 100 times more potent than morphine -- were found hidden inside a 2010 Ford Focus. Experts say that is enough fentanyl to kill 17 million people --- or half the state of California.

Q: Android get all folders that contain at least one media file like photo / video I just need the path of folders that contain at least one file that ends with eg. .mp4 or .jpg . I already checked this thread: Android: how to get all folders with photos? but it's too slow for my use case. Is there a faster way to do that?

A: So I finally found a solution which is way faster than the mentioned above. I got all directories with images within ~100-150ms (around 3k files). In the example below all image files stored either on the internal or external storage gets checked and the parent directory is added to the array list. I excluded .gif and .giff files.
This method also works with videos therefore a few steps are required:

*

*change queryUri to MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI

*change projection to MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA

*change 'image/%' in includeImages to 'video/%'

*delete + excludeGif from selection

public static ArrayList<String> getImageDirectories(Context mContext) {
        ArrayList<String> directories = new ArrayList<>();

        ContentResolver contentResolver = mContext.getContentResolver();
        Uri queryUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;

        String[] projection = new String[]{
                MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA
