Oscars 2017: Viola Davis wins Best Supporting Actress for Fences

Viola Davis' historic bid for her first Academy Award came to a close Sunday night, capping off with the actress winning a gilded statuette amid a monumental year for diversity in the awards race.
For her performance in Denzel Washington's August Wilson adaptation, Fences, translating for the big screen the same stage role that won her a 2010 Tony Award on Broadway, Davis triumphed in the best supporting actress category, joining the likes of Hattie McDaniel, Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson, Mo'Nique, Octavia Spencer, and Lupita Nyong'o as one of only seven black actresses to have won the same award since the Academy's inaugural ceremony in 1929. The win also makes Davis one Grammy short of becoming an EGOT.
Accepting the honor at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre, Davis said, "There's one place where all the people with the greatest potential are gathered, and that's the graveyard. People ask me all the time, 'What kind of stories do you want to tell, Viola?' And I say, exhume those bodies, exhume those stories. The stories of the people who dreamed big and never saw those dreams to fruition, people who tell in love and lost. I became an artist and thank God I did because we are the only profession who celebrates what it means to live a life. So here's to August Wilson who exhumed and exalted the ordinary people. Thanks for a movie that is about people and words and life and forgiveness and grace."
The actress thanked her family in her emotional speech, praising her parents as "the people who taught me good or bad, how to fail, how to love, how to hold an award, how to lose … I'm so thankful God chose you to bring me into this world." She also spoke to her husband and daughter, telling them, "You teach me everyday how to live, love. I'm so glad that you are the foundation of my life."
She also thanked the Fences cast and her costar/director. "O Captain, my Captain, Denzel Washington: Thank you for putting two entities in the driving seat: August and God," she said. "And they served you well."
On Jan. 24, Davis became history's first black actress to amass three Oscar nominations across the performative categories, having been nominated for her work in 2011's The Help and 2008's Doubt in the past.
This year, for the first time since 2006, women of color made up the majority of the Academy's best supporting actress category. On Oscar nominations morning, Davis' fellow nominee (and costar in The Help), Octavia Spencer, secured a nod for her performance in Hidden Figures, becoming the first black actress to nab a follow-up nomination after previously winning an Academy Award.
Davis also beat out Moonlight's Naomie Harris, previous winner Nicole Kidman (Lion), and four-time nominee Michelle Williams (Manchester by the Sea). On the precursor circuit, Davis emerged as the contender to beat, having taken major prizes from several critics groups and industry awards bodies. Her 2016-2017 awards haul includes an NAACP Image Award, a BAFTA Award, a Critics Choice Award, a Golden Globe, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, among others.
In the best picture-nominated drama Fences, Davis plays Rose Maxson, the resilient yet emotionally scarred wife of Troy (Washington), an aging sanitation worker and former Negro League baseball player who spends his days lamenting the past and cursing the present as he grapples with momentary vices while maintaining a family in 1950s Pittsburgh.
"She's a woman who sacrificed a huge part of her dreams, her needs, and her desires to make her family work," Davis told EW about the character. "And when everything comes crashing down, her response, her fight, is every woman's fight. There's nothing that she does in this piece that is not relatable."

It's all fun and games in the OPT today. Meaning? Light amusement, diversions and frivolous diverting activity by and for the army, displaying its culture, its way of doing business, so that Palestinians as well as MachsomWatchers could observe and feel it. Above all, fun and games for the army means no accountability to anybody of consequence.
12:50 Qalqiliya
A steady stream of cars in both directions. A car bearing Israeli license plates (yellow) is not allowed to proceed: the young woman and her baby want to visit her sister, but she has no "permit." The driver, her husband, is with her at the side, waiting for her to be picked up by a family member.
13:50 Azzun
Today, a jeep and three soldiers, who don their helmets when they see our car approach, greet us at the place where the earth mound encircling the town had recently been removed.
Soldier 1: "I don't know why we're here."
Soldier 2. "There are still terrorists around."
Soldier 3. "We're often here. For a short while. Our camp is somewhere in the area" (a state secret, it appears, since he won't tell us where). Soldier 3 is the commander, and on being asked about the building going on atop the hill overlooking the town of Azzun, where there's a military lookout tower, he answers, "They're moving it three meters from where it is now." ( !)
Shvut Ami
The outpost is deserted, but there's action atop the high hill on the other side of the road. New tents (the ones lower down the hill have vanished and only the detritus of settlers uncaring about "their" landscape in evidence). A baby swing is visible in the middle of all the mess....
15:00 Anabta
As we approach the valley entrance to Anabta, we notice that the military camp above, at Enav, in the throes of construction - of what is hard to work out. A giant crane of some sort. And where is the military lookout tower? Once at Anabta checkpoint, we can't see anything at the top of the hill.
Once again, we're told, not by one, but by two soldiers, both of whom present themselves to us as the "commander," that we can't stand where we have stood for many a year, that we must go way beyond the red sign telling Israelis that they can go no further. We stand our ground, saying there's no point standing over there as we see nothing. Commander 1 tells us that we're being told for our own benefit, commander 2 just backs off and moves away.
The line from Tulkarm is endless, the checking sporadic and slow. A large pickup truck (Israeli license plates - yellow) is held up on the way out of Tulkarm, and it waits and waits. Another Israeli car is told to back up as the soldiers check the vehicle nearest them. One yellow taxi is stopped, the next, a seemingly identical one, speeds past the soldiers. Another taxi is stopped, the driver's ID taken from him, and he mimes to us, "Why me?" But after seven minutes' delay, he's off.
15:10 -- a refrigerator truck going to Tulkarm stops, has to turn off its engine, and the inside of the truck is checked. The next car is an Israeli car (yellow license plates), and has the honor of being the first Israeli car to be checked going into Tulkarm.
A Hummer approaches with a new transistor radio in place of the one that crackles loudly in the middle of the checkpoint. There are now eight soldiers at the checkpoint, four of the regular shift and four who've come on behalf of the crackly radio. Or, perhaps we should ask, "how many soldiers does it take to change a radio in the OPT?" We should also note that the crackling is now louder than ever....
A mother and her two teenage sons come from Tulkarm on foot. A pickup truck comes down the steep and rutted track from Rameen (a village, high up above the Anabta valley and cut off from the main road by boulders and earth mounds). The truck and Tulkarm residents meet at such an earth mound by the parking lot. Well over twenty bright yellow jerry cans of olive oil are offloaded from the truck and placed, neatly, on the ground by the parked taxis, waiting for a ride to wherever.....
As we turn back onto the main road, up the hill, towards Jubara, a convoy of huge and long army trucks advances towards us. Two of them carry parts of the crane we've observed earlier high above us, at the military camp at Enav. The third truck carries parts of the concrete lookout tower. One can but wonder what new Lego or Meccano production will greet us next time atop the hill.
15:40 Jubara
The soldier has no idea who or what A-Ras is. But the lieutenant who approaches next certainly does, telling us in no uncertain terms that we have no permit, that we can wait on the side for such, but that without it, there's no way he can or will open the gate to let us in to the village. It's obvious that he will not lift a finger to make anything happen.
Anabta
South of Anabta village, before junction with 557 (close to Einav settlement).
The route from Qalqiliya to Israel is through the Eyal terminal, situated on the Green Line, north-west of the city. The connection to the West Bank is through another checkpoint, which is at the eastern city limit.
On Route 557, south of Tulkarm. Though located inside PA territory (a few kilometers east of the Green Line), serves as entry checkpoint between Occupied Territories and Israel.

AfriForum visited eight provinces, during which criminal charges were laid against 13 provincial heads of department in terms of Article 86(1) of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999.
These 13 departments were identified by the civil rights organisation as the main contributors of irregular, fruitless, wasteful and unauthorised expenses, who together wasted R11,63 billion of the total misused amount of R28,26 billion for the 2014/2015 financial year. This information was obtained from the Consolidated General Report of the Auditor General (AG).

University Takes Campus 'Offensive' Speech Reporting App National
May 12, 2019 Thomas Müller Articles by Thomas Müller, Crime, Culture, Politics, US News, Winter Watch Articles 2
THOUGHT POLICE - ILLUSTRATION: Truthdig.com
According to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), at least 231 colleges and universities have created Bias Response Teams (BRTs). BTRs are collectives of administrators, faculty and other college officials. They have jurisdiction over the speech of least 2.84 million students, according to a report from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
For a few years now, BRTs have been encouraging students to anonymously report offensive speech to administrators and campus police. This is fundamentally an extension of the Department of Homeland Security's "see something, say something" domestic spying program. In other words, if someone sees something strange or sees someone acting suspiciously, they are encouraged to report it to law enforcement.
Schools and campus BRT police also utilize a method involving Mental Health/Threat Assessments and Campus Response Teams to create detailed reports on every student. According to FIRE, BRTs keep details of students' smoker status, shape, intellectual perspective, political affiliation, etc.
Once a student's speech is reported, university officials investigate. If the panel concludes it was biased speech, he or she could be "sanctioned by the administration," though it's not clear what that means.
"It's difficult to know" how students are punished, the author of the report, Adam Steinbaugh, told USA TODAY College, because few colleges release information about their investigations into reported bias incidents. And those that do release information tend to only publish vague reports. "Often, a college will simply say that they provided an 'educational' response or performed an 'investigation.'"
Now, the University of Utah has taken the BRT thought-police model to a national level with a new mobile app that includes everyone — not just students — in this sick game.
According to what appears to be a University of Utah press release published by PHYS.org, the new app allows anyone to report strangers who exercise their First Amendment rights.
Where in our Constitution does it say that it is acceptable to report someone who has not committed a crime?
"The first of its kind, the app accepts reports beyond crimes captured in police records. Users from around the country can document all kinds of incident types, from derogatory epithets written in bathrooms to slurs yelled from a car window in addition to violent assaults," the release states.
How about flipping somebody off? Is that hate speech? What somebody frowns at you, or gives a dirty look, or if the neighbor's dog barks at you? Gone are the days when Americans were unafraid to voice their opinions or make snide comments in public.
"The major problem we're dealing with is that hate crimes are so underreported, not only to police, but from police to the federal government," said Emily Nicolosi, researcher, and Richard Medina, professor of geography. Nicolosi helped develop the app.
Her sidekick opined, "We'd like to see it used nationally to get better hate incident statistics, and to understand why, how, and where people are active in hateful incidents, and how that offends or hurts people," said Medina.
The university claims that all reporting is confidential and anonymous for the snitch. Unlike in a court of law involving legitimate justice, you will never know your accuser. This opens the way for non stop doxxing and hoaxes. It is carte blanche for implementing star chamber justice.
Read "A Wave of LGBTQ Hate Crime Hoaxes Engulfs Portland"
The Hate Incident Reporting app asks triggered SJWs to submit their location in a photo or video of the so-called bias incident. It also asks them to classify it "out of multiple types of bias: religion, disability, gender, identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and other." The detailed descriptions of the offender are passed on to to law enforcement.
A sampling of "bias incidents" include:
A student was offended when another student created a meme suggesting heterosexual people have poor taste in interior design.
A white student asked an African-American student if he could rap, which the black student saw as racial bias.
After a midnight snowball fight, a group of young men were reported discussing how un-athletic some of the female students throwing snowballs at them were.
Stupid College Pranks Labeled as Bias Hate Speech
Virginia Tech students reported penis graffiti to police for being biased.
Drawing on a whiteboard outside of a dorm room. Some colleges have since banned whiteboards.
A torrent of penis drawings in different locations across the Virginia Tech campus last fall drew numerous bias complaints from students, leaving university administrators grappling for answers as to whether the university had been targeted by a penis-drawing bandit.
According to bias incident reports obtained by The College Fix through a public records act request, a total of 45 total bias reports were filed with the university in the fall 2018 semester. The public university also charged The College Fix $390 to fulfill the open records act request.
Of those reports, five complained of penis drawings and a sixth was over someone who accused another student on a whiteboard of never having "eaten a dick." What's more, of the 45 bias reports filed last semester, more than half – 25 – were related in some way to dorm whiteboards, public graffiti, or other campus signage.
It seems the campus BRT spent a great deal of time policing phrases and images drawn on dorm-room doors with dry-erase pens. Accordingly whiteboards are being banned.

2 Comments on University Takes Campus 'Offensive' Speech Reporting App National
Johnny Walker Read May 12, 2019 at 1:15 pm
For the younger among us: "Within a month of the nation being attacked by terrorists, legislation that combated terrorism by suspending constitutional guarantees of free speech was championed by a popular leader. It was called the "Decree on the Protection of People and State," and it passed despite the objections of concerned legislators and civil libertarians.
A new national agency was formed within a year that coordinated police and federal security. It consolidated unprecedented power under one leader. No, this is not President Bush's newly won Department of Homeland Security—it was Hitler's Office of Fatherland Security, the Reichssicherheitshauptamt and Schutzstaffel, better known simply as the SS."
So who are the NAZI's here, the busybodies which make up the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) and their Bias Response Teams (BRTs), or students practicing their constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech?
Let us review our first amendment to the constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I'm an artist & novice woodworker recently transplanted to the Olympic Peninsula from Vermont. I got my start in woodworking while helping run a therapeutic carpentry program back East, which gave me shop access after hours and a sympathetic boss who helped me troubleshoot. In my first year of butchering salvaged wood, I made a set of impractical furniture based on geometric designs, including a "honeycomb" table and a triangular bookcase. I had far more determination than joinery knowhow. After watching the surface of the table cup like a salad bowl due to wood movement, I knew it was time to hone my skills at traditional craftsmanship school.
The Furniture Design Intensive lured me cross-country to a corner of the Northwest I'd long dreamed of. The 3-month program was, hands down, the most challenging creative training I've ever done. I had to scramble to keep up with the curriculum and high standards set by my classmates, who had all (wisely) completed the Foundations of Woodworking Intensive. I had to persevere through at least a thousand mistakes along the way to building my first furniture held together by proper joinery.
When the course wrapped up, I started working for the school as a shop / teacher's assistant, and the learning curve hasn't fallen off. A major factor in becoming a woodworker is familiarity with the nuances of hand tools, machinery, and the wood itself. Milling lumber and sharpening tools has provided me with consistent practice. Assisting classes exposes me to an endless stream of brilliant teaching, and a great diversity of approaches to the art & science of woodcraft.
The silver lining of being the guy who needed a lot of extra help in class is that I'm now well situated as a teacher's assistant. At this stage, I'm able to spot bad habits and help folks accelerate their journey to proficiency in design & execution.

Time to Open an Investigation Into Non-Fiction Events!
The Voice of Reason June 25, 2017
Now that the whole allegation of the Trump-Russia collusion has been thoroughly and utterly disproved, the left is now switching directions and going for the obstruction of justice angle. Just like the Russian collusion allegation, this will again be thoroughly disproved in due time. This constant barrage of attacks against Trump is designed to ensure that the public's attention is never diverted toward the real Russian colluders: the Clintons.
In the following video, Right Wing News looks back at the Clinton's uranium deal which ultimately placed 20% of American uranium interests in Russian hands. Needless to say, the Clinton Foundation was handsomely rewarded for its role in brokering said deal. What are the chances that the mainstream media will actually do their job and investigate this instead of continuing this insane witch hunt against Trump?
Unbeknownst to most Americans, the point President Trump made about the Clinton/Russia Uranium deal actually goes down an almost bottomless rabbit hole that leads to levels of corruption that go WAY beyond what even the President himself probably realizes.
How many of you remember when an armed militia took over and occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon back in January of 2016? Aside from the opening paragraph (below), almost everything else Wikipedia says about the occupation is utterly false:
On January 2, 2016, armed militants seized the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon, United States, and continued to occupy it until law enforcement made a final arrest on February 11, 2016. Their leader was Ammon Bundy, who participated in the 2014 Bundy standoff at his father's Nevada ranch. Other members of the group were loosely affiliated with non-governmental militias and the sovereign citizen movement.
Sadly, because of how grossly dishonest and anti-gun the mainstream media is, most Americans have no idea what "really" transpired during the standoff at the Bundy Ranch in 2014, or they would almost certainly have a much different opinion of it. In some ways, the standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon was almost like a continuation of the original Bundy standoff.
How many Americans ever heard that Obama's BLM was given the green light to fire on the Bundy Ranch despite the fact that there were women and children present everywhere. A member of the BLM says as much in the following video. That's hardly the most disturbing portion of the 8:30 minute video below either!
The most disturbing part of the video is around the 5:30 mark during a scene that still brings me to tears to this day, despite having seen the video well over 200 times. But for one very brave (and crazy) New Yorker, the second "shot heard round the world" almost took place at Bundy ranch, and our woefully dishonest media never reported it.
Very few Americans know that on both occasions when the Bundy's and their militia faced off against law enforcement (during the original standoff at the Bundy Ranch in 2014, and then again in January of 2016 at the wildlife refuge in Oregon), both times the Bundy's were joined by members of armed militia groups from across the country. They were men and women who travelled from across the country to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Bundys. Why do you suppose that is?
Furthermore, why do you suppose you never heard about it? Doesn't it seem reasonable to think that if there were members from armed militias convening from all across the country for a purpose that it might make the news? It wasn't covered for good reason! The following video is from a post titled, Obama Orders Hammond Ranch Destroyed, which explains in much further detail what all this has to do with Hillary Clinton, Russia, or Uranium, however, the following video will provide a high-level explanation.
To summarize the video above, essentially the Hammonds were the last remaining holdout on a large piece of land that the federal government was interested in because of the vast natural resources that were beneath the land. There were several natural resources the government was interested in, but the one relevant to this story is the Uranium. You can verify that for yourself here using this U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1740-B.
When the Hammonds refused to leave, the father and son were wrongfully imprisoned by Obama's tyrannical federal government, which ultimately led to what took place at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. The mainstream media hardly went never went near any of that story, and what few parts they were forced to cover, such as the two armed standoffs, they lied incessantly about.
Strange how with all the Democrats and their whining about Russia, none of this ever came up isn't it? Furthermore, as for collusion, and ridiculous levels of corruption, might I suggest someone in Congress begin an investigation into Congressmen DeFazio, and the role he played in all what was just explained…
The Washington Examiner writes:
President Trump argued in a pair of tweets Monday evening that the House Intelligence Committee should look a deal between a Russian state-owned energy company, Rosatom, and a Canadian-owned mining company with deep ties to the Clinton Foundation that had ultimately placed one-fifth of U.S. uranium interests in Russian hands.
In one of the tweets, Trump asserted that stories about his campaign's alleged connection to Russian officials are a "hoax."
"Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech….," he wrote in one tweet.
In a pair of late-night tweets
He continued: "…money to Bill, the Hillary Russian "reset," praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company. Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!"
The deal with Uranium One, the Canadian company owned by Clinton Foundation patron Frank Giustra, plagued Hillary Clinton throughout the presidential race as an example of the ways her family's foundation could have served as a conduit for larger financial and political interests. The transaction that left so much of America's uranium production under the control of a Canadian company with extensive Clinton ties took place while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state and required the approval of an inter-agency committee that included the State Department.
Trump and his White House team have spent weeks fending off allegations of inappropriate connections between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence officials. Critics have maintained that Trump or his top advisors colluded with Russian officials to steal and leak emails from the inboxes of high-ranking Democrats in the Clinton campaign and on the Democratic National Committee. No evidence has emerged to support those allegations.
The president's tweets Monday evening referenced the House Intelligence Committee's probe into Russian cyber activities during the presidential race. The Senate Intelligence Committee and the FBI are both looking into those activities.

He has been accused of being vitriolic, bombastic, sarcastic to the extreme, and probably worse behind his back.

This paper discusses three approaches that can be helpful in the area of comparative rights jurisprudence, oriented in reference to three different kinds of studies that are possible in that area. To a large extent the methods for a comparative legal research depend on the research question and the goal of the researcher. First, a comparative law study may focus on the sociocultural context that led to the elaboration of differences or similarities in the protection of rights. In this respect a study of comparative law is by definition an interdisciplinary study. Second, a comparative law approach can be a normative enterprise. It can focus on engaging in a philosophical analysis enlightened by the differences or similarities in the regulation of rights, in order to propose concrete solutions for the regulation of a right. Third, a comparative law approach can combine both elements of the two previously mentioned approaches. It can aim at studying the sociopolitical frame that led to the emergence of legal rules and challenge them in the cases where it seems that there is some flagrant injustice in the application of rules upon concrete cases of human rights. It may aim to reach a "reflective equilibrium" between and the is and the ought. This means that it can engage in a study that can be articulated as a back and forth movement from the differences in the operation of legal rules to how they should be operating.
The paper discusses further the challenges that the researcher faces in her attempt to use these methodologies and how these challenges can be overcome. These challenges arise in the selection of cases that are appropriate for comparison, in assuring comparability. What is at stake is the question of commensurability. If what motivates a comparative law study is the search for principles of justice the researcher needs to persuade that her methodological approach serves her aim. Second, challenges emerge for the comparatist concerning the research question that she uses, her theoretical framework and her criteria of evaluation. Furthermore, these challenges concern the validity of the interpretative schemata that she refers to or that she creates in order to interpret the legal phenomena she is studying. These interpretative schemata may be defined by conscious and unconscious bias. To some extent it is impossible to the researcher to transcend the subjectivity of her perspective. Nevertheless, there is a moral obligation for the researcher to make an effort to transcend this bias. Interdisciplinary collaboration as well as collaboration with scholars whose background was formed in the foreign legal system under study can help transcend these challenges. Another concern for the comparativist is the danger of being trapped in the relativity of her background which would prevent her from thinking critically on the object of her study. The solution to the problem comes from the reflection on the just character of the rules that is implicit in any attempt to compare legal rules. The inherent normative dimension of the law can help transcend the circumstances that define the subjectivity of the researcher. The law as a normative discipline has its own constraints of justifiability. The researcher is led to transcend her conditioning in a context that provides to her a frame of evaluation and to think in abstracto about principles of justice that can be accepted intersubjectively. The comparatist who studies legal rules inevitably transcends her horizon and is led to think about the justness of the legal rules she is studying.

Q: How to make comment reply query in MYSQL? I am having comment reply (only till one level) functionality. All comments can have as many as replies but no replies can have their further replies.
So my database table structure is like below
Id    ParentId    Comment
1     0           this is come sample comment text
2     0           this is come sample comment text
3     0           this is come sample comment text
4     1           this is come sample comment text
5     0           this is come sample comment text
6     3           this is come sample comment text
7     1           this is come sample comment text

In the above structures, commentid, 1 (has 2 replies) and 3 (1 reply) has replies. So to fetch the comments and their replies, one simple method is first I fetch all the comments having ParentId as 0 and then by running a while loop fetch all the replies of that particular commentId. But that seems to be running hundreds of queries if I'll have around 200 comments on a particular record.
So I want to make a query which will fetch Comments with their replies sequentially as following;
Id    ParentId    Comment
1     0           this is come sample comment text
4     1           this is come sample comment text
7     1           this is come sample comment text
2     0           this is come sample comment text
3     0           this is come sample comment text
6     3           this is come sample comment text
5     0           this is come sample comment text

I also have a comment date column in my comment table, if anyone wants to use this with comment query.
So finally I want to fetch all the comments and their replies by using one single mysql query. Please tell me how I can do that?
Thanks

A: You can use an expression in an ORDER BY. Try this:
SELECT *
FROM comments
ORDER BY IF(ParentId = 0, Id, ParentId), Id

This will first sort by Id, if ParentId = 0, or by ParentId otherwise. The second sort criterion is the Id, to assure that replies are returned in order.

A: I highly recommend that you restructure your database schema.  The main problem is that you are trying to treat comments and replies as the same thing, and they simple aren't the same thing.  This is forcing you to make some difficult queries.
Imagine having two tables: [COMMENTS:(id, text)], and replies to comments in another table [REPLIES(id, commentid, text)].  The problem seems much, much easier when thought of in this way.

A: If you / somebody is looking for simple solution, then it might be helpfull.
Structure Change - I suppose you have changed it by adding Blog ID, If there is no blog ID, how do you say which comments are specific to a Blog?
First do this, it won't harm anything to your database,
update `tblcomments` set ParentId=Id where ParentId=0;

then to get the blog comments and comment replies in order (comment - reply 1, reply 2... under the comment)
use the bleow query
SELECT *
FROM  tblcomments
ORDER BY  ParentId ASC;

Cheers,
-PM.

The Moon performs several beautiful close conjunctions this month during the short hours of night.
It passes just below Mars on the 7th. Although the Red Planet now fades to magnitude –0.3, it still outshines spring's brightest star, Arcturus, which has the same color, albeit a paler version.
On the 10th, the Moon passes closely to the left of Saturn, whose magnitude of 0.2 is just half the brightness of Mars.
The Moon is at its fullest on June 13. Click here for Full Strawberry Moon phase dates, fact, and folklore.
The Moon stands very close to invisible Pluto in Sagittarius on the 13th and, on the 14th, to the right of fading Venus, low in dawn's brightening twilight.
Summer begins with the solstice on the 21st, at 6:51 A.M. See our summer solstice page!
Astronomer Jeff DeTray has created the sky map below to help you navigate the heavens!
This month's highlights: A Panorama of Planets and a Celestial Tongue-Twister.
The always lovely month of June offers us a gorgeous line-up of stars and planets this year. Although our Sky Map is usually drawn for the middle of the month, the view will be essentially the same for the entire month of June. So pick a clear night and enjoy the show.
Looking toward the west, you'll find the planet Jupiter hanging not far below the bright star Pollux, one of the Gemini twins. Jupiter is considerably brighter than Pollux, and our view of it differs in another way as well. Where the star (Pollux) will appear to twinkle or shimmer, the planet (Jupiter) glows with a steadier light. And so it is with all stars and planets: Stars twinkle and planets don't.
The reason has to do with Earth's atmosphere and the distances to celestial objects. Stars are so far away that they are essentially single points of light. This makes our view of them greatly influenced by turbulence in the atmosphere, and so they appear to dance around or twinkle. Planets are much closer to us than stars, close enough that they have a measurable size. This makes our view of planets appear more steady. Having said that, under high magnification in a telescope, planets shimmer and dance, too. We just don't notice it with our eyes alone.
Now let your gaze move to the left to the next bright object. That will be twinkling Regulus, the bright star at the heart of Leo, the Lion. Leo is one of the few constellations that truly resembles its namesake. The brightest stars of Leo make the recognizable outline of a Lion.
Next in our tour of the June sky is the planet Mars, followed by the bright star Spica, both located in the constellation Virgo, the Virgin. Note the color difference between these two objects. Mars is known as the Red Planet and appears as faintly yellowish or a washed out orange color compared to the brilliant white of Spica.
Farther to the left you will find the planet Saturn in the constellsation Libra, the Scales or Balance (a device used to weigh things) being held by Virgo. Saturn is currently located between a pair of stars with unusual names. Above Saturn is Zubeneschamali, and below Spica is Zubenelgenubi. Extra points if you can pronounce these two star names! The names of these stars are derived from the Arabic for The Northern Claw and The Southern Claw and refer to a time when the stars of Libra were considered part of the constellation Scorpius, the Scorpian, which is off the left edge of this month's Sky Map. Libra became identified as a constellation in its own right more than 2,000 years ago, but the even more ancient names of its two brightest stars persist.
Lastly, on the left edge of our map is the star Antares, the Heart of Scorpius, the Scorpian. Antares is a notably reddish star, and its name comes from the Greek phrase "anti-Ares," meaning "anti-Mars." Ares is the ancient Greek word for Mars, and the name Antares refers to the fact that the star and the planet Mars have a similar reddish color. Antares is a supergiant star more than 800 times the size of our Sun.
The four bright stars we have mentioned—Pollux, Regulus, Spica, and Antares—are all among the 25 brightest stars in the sky. If you look up toward the top of this month's Sky Map you can see Arcturus, and all the way to the right, Castor, two more of the 25 brightest stars. That's six bright stars and three bright planets, not bad for one night in June.
Odd thing is, I saw three bright lights fly through the air at the same time-9:15pm(central-time)...Over fond du lac, wi. I know what air plains look like at night...those were not it. Any idea as to what they were??
Looking up from Blackwood, NJ, and to the S. E, I saw a bright flash of White burst or Flash of bright light, that only lasted a second, but was a experience that I'll never forget on 6/21/14@10:10pm. Any suggestions for what I saw would be appreciated. Thank You.

The word "meditation" comes from the Greek word that means "to be mindful." The practice of meditation is a proven stress reducer, and can help you tame your mind and overcome anxieties, agitation, and habitual thought patterns. The regular practice of meditation creates a continuing sense of well being, leaving us feeling confident and calm.
Tuck your chin in slightly and keep your eyes half open, your gaze softly focusing downward about four to six feet in front, and your mouth slightly open.
Observe your breath. Try belly-breathing - not breathing with the chest, but from the navel. Don't accentuate or alter the way you are breathing, just let your attention rest on the flow of your breath.
The goal is to allow the "chattering" in your mind to gradually fade away. If you're distracted by a thought, gently bring your mind back to your breathing.
Continue to focus on your breathing for 10 or 15 minutes. Stay relaxed, yet awake and attentive. Finding your balance there is not easy!
Eventually as your body understands what you are doing, meditating will become easier to enter. Remember to be gentle and patient with yourself. Meditating for even 5 or 10 minutes can have a powerful effect on your day.

Brad was already getting sick on Monday, he missed work on Tuesday, but he had to go back on Wednesday (Christmas Eve day) because his coworker was off, and one of them is always supposed to be there. So by the time he got home he was absolutely MISERABLE. He took medicine and went straight to bed.
I was bummed he had to miss Christmas Eve service at our church, but i understood, and went on my own. It was a beautiful service.
Christmas Day we got up & he seemed a little better! I made breakfast & we exchanged gifts. I would like to take a moment to tell you how DELICIOUS this was. It has only three ingredients, which happen to be 3 of brad's favorite things, so i knew this was a win. 3 ingredients means easy work for me (ha), and Brad's favorite things means he would love it! This is sausage & cream cheese inside unrolled crescent rolls. Y'all. It was SO GOOD! I'm not even a big sausage eater but i loved it. DELICIOUS!
And Fievel got a new Christmas sweater! He's real excited about it, can't you tell?!
And i knew he would be staying home this year. Not just home, but in bed! At first I thought I'd stay with him, because I didn't really want to go to Christmas without him. But after awhile I got dressed & headed to his aunt's house by myself.
I hate going places without him. I mean, girls nights, of course. And work, duh. But places like church or holiday celebrations...HATE IT. Even if he stays home on a Sunday morning, and i go to church without him. I feel like my left arm is missing or something. I know this is ridiculous considering i was single way longer than i have been married, but it's just how it is. I enjoy being with him.
I know some of you are rolling your eyes, because you don't have husbands or your husband is away all the time, so let me just interject here that on my way to his aunt's house, i remembered our military spouses and i remembered my new friend who is a detective and her husband is a fireman, and they are rarely off for holidays but if they are, it's not at the same time. I remembered my friends who have lost loved ones and now have to spend every year without them. So don't worry - i gained a little perspective! And once i got there i was so glad i went. love Brad's family and really enjoy hanging out with them!
The food was delicious, and his uncle put on home videos from when Brad & Jaimie were tiny!! Like 2 & 5!! So cute!! Also, Brad's cousin Megan, who is a photographer, brought her Canon 6D with her 70-200 lens, and i played with it for awhile. I absolutely love it! I took her family picture with it & it came out SO sharp! Eeek!! I was pretty excited as you can see by my expression!
I will admit that one thing that had me down this Christmas was the fact that we still are not parents. Last year, we said what we said the four years before it, "Maybe NEXT year we'll have a baby by Christmas!" Then when i actually got pregnant in March, i couldn't believe it! We would have a baby by Christmas! What a different and wonderful Christmas 2014 would be! But i miscarried, and it just felt like the cruelest joke.
For some reason, i didn't think the holidays would be too hard. We don't have kids on my side of the family, and this year we would be spending it with brad's dad's side of the family. There are a ton of kids but no newborns or pregnant people. Ha. And I made it to my due date, which i thought would be the hardest part. My due date was hard, but I think Christmas might have been harder. You see, Christmas is so magical to children, but also to parents! To see the wonder and excitement in their children's eyes...this is something i absolutely long for. Seeing my facebook feed full of kids waking up to their gifts, parents or grandparents reading the Christmas story to family, a tree full of gifts under it... all of these things are things i desperately want to experience. When people this year asked, "Are you ready for Christmas?" meaning, "Have you gotten all your shopping done?" and i would say "no", I then had to add, "It's okay, though. We don't have that many to shop for." That is sad to me. That is something that makes me sad. You might think it's a blessing because it means more money in our pockets...but it's not. I want to have a tree full of gifts underneath. I know it isn't about the gifts. But the gifts represent people...children...family. That's the part of Christmas that is missing, and there is a certain emptiness I feel because of it.
I have been pretty positive these last few months, but yesterday was a hard day. And i am not saying "Maybe next year" this year, because you know what? Maybe i still won't be a parent next year. I'm not losing hope but it's totally out of my hands & i have no idea when or if God is going to answer this prayer in the way that i want Him to. It's a hard road. And i know He knows that. I don't know why He hasn't answered our prayers yet, but I do know that He cares and understands my feelings.
So imagine... I'm on my way home yesterday when my blog friend, Laura, messages me asking if i got a small package from her. I told her i didn't. She said that according to tracking it was delivered. She said, maybe they left it on my front porch? I told her i would check when i got home, but i didn't think so. I mean, there is no way to miss a package on my front porch.
When i got home, i didn't see it, but she said it was small. Maybe i should check the mailbox. Our mail normally comes around 11 am, and i had checked it twice after that on Christmas Eve day. Nothing. I decided we either didn't get mail or it didn't run on the 24th. Well, what do you know...it was sitting in my mailbox. A beautiful snowflake in memory of Baby V. How thoughtful! How wonderful! And up until that point in the day, nobody had acknowledged baby v or how i might be missing him/her. Laura, that meant so much to me. Thank you!!!
God totally knew that i needed this gift on Christmas Day... not on Christmas Eve. And He made sure I didn't see it until the day I needed it most. How sweet of Him!!
I feel the same way about going places alone. I know it's not the biggest deal and once I'm someplace without my husband I tend to be fine... but just kind of hate the idea of going someplace without him. So as silly as it may sound, I completely get it!
I'm sorry it was such a tough day for you. I totally relate (although not to the DOUBLE suckiness of the husband being sick- that is super bad!!) and don't blame you at all for cutting out the 'maybe next year...' train of thought. It's just too much, eventually. What an incredibly thoughtful friend, though- such a kind gift!!
I bought it when we went to Kraynak's which was at least two weeks before Christmas. I always think of you when I go there now and I KNEW I was supposed to pick something up for you... in memory of Baby V. So I bought the snowflake, took it home and said "I need to mail this out right away."
That didn't happen. I put it under my tree and totally forgot about it! Then, in a panic on the Saturday before Christmas, I realized that I was running out of time if I was going to get it to you before Christmas. Mike ran it to the post office for me while I did some other things. I relaxed when the shipping said it should arrive on Tuesday.
Of course, I watched the shipping and there were no updates. I knew it wouldn't get there on Tuesday. Tuesday night it changed and said it was now going to be delivered on Wednesday... christmas Eve... and I thought PERFECT!
But then you didn't mention it lol. I knew you would if you had got it and the tracking said it was delivered. So I was confused and several times I thought to message you and ask if you got it but kept feeling like I should wait... until Christmas when I couldn't wait any longer.

Сергій Буковський - Офіційний сайт
The Sergey Bukovsky Film Program
Майстерня DOC
— Box About Start
Sergey Bukovsky was born in 1960 in Bashkiria, the autonomous republic of the former Soviet Union. That same year, his father, film director Anatoly Bukovsky, and mother, actress Nina Antonova, brought him to Kiev.
"There was always a crowd of guests in our one-room flat; they were my parents' friends. They would come together to celebrate either the first or the last day of filming, or the presentation of a film to the State Film Committee of the USSR, or dubbing, or additional filming, or the long-awaited start of distribution. My first childhood memories are associated with a trip to Baturin, where my father shot the film "Buryan" ("The Weeds"). I remember the sugary-sweet smell of makeup, the noise of the lighting trucks, and my father shouting, "Action!" I remember crying when a heroine was "killed" and yelling, "Vermin!"
Sergey Bukovsky studied directing in the Film Department at the Karpenko-Karyi Kiev State Institute of Theatrical Arts. After serving in the Soviet Army, he worked at the Ukrainian documentary film studio for more than a decade.
The 20-minute black-and-white film "Tomorrow is a Holiday", shot in the first years of perestroika, received critical acclaim from the press, the film community, and audiences.
During his 325-year film career, Bukovsky made approximately 40 documentary films. Some of them received awards at prestigious international film festivals. They include: "Tomorrow is a Holiday" (1987), "Roof" (1990), "Dislocation" (1992), "The Hyphen" (1992), "To Berlin!" (1995), "Vilen Kalyuta. Real Light" (2000), "Terra Vermelha. Red Land" (2001), and the 9-part documentary series for television "War. The Ukrainian Account," which was awarded the National Taras Shevchenko Prize of Ukraine in 2004.
"The difficulty in talking about this film ("War. The Ukrainian Account") is that it is not only important as a cinematographic or television event… In Sergey Bukovsky's film, for the first time, Ukraine acquired its own history of War World II. The history that was not rolled up into the ideological asphalt for a military parade… The history that was not hastily-fastened with white threads of politics… It is a genuine documentary epic, in which history is presented accurately: as the tragedy of millions of human lives bloodied by the tornado of war. It is a history of total betrayal. It is a history of a nation betrayed by its authorities. It is a history of a nation that betrayed its own past".
(Anna Sherman, "Telekritika" / 08.11.2002)
From 1998 to 2003, Bukovsky taught courses in documentary directing at the Karpenko-Karyi Kiev State Institute of Theatrical Arts. His student Igor Strembitsky got Palm D'Or in Cannes in 2005 for his short documentary.

Vegetarians/vegans have lower mortality rates than people whose diet regularly includes meat.
Plant-based diets are associated with an improved metabolic and inflammatory profile.
Insights into the specific mechanisms of the effect of plant-based diets on longevity are missing.
The health effects of plant-based diets are possibly limited in older age, as adults over 65 require larger amounts of protein.
Western-style obesity-promoting diets are associated with increased inflammation, higher disease incidence and mortality. In contrast, plant-based diets (PBDs), which incorporate large amounts of vegetables and fruit, legumes, whole grains and only a small amount of meat, are generally associated with better health and lower mortality. This narrative review summarizes the evidence on health and life span in adults adhering to PBDs and discusses the potentially longevity-promoting mechanism of PBDs as well as limitations due to nutrient deficiencies.
Epidemiologic studies consistently report lower mortality rates in adults who adhering to PBDs when compared with people whose diet regularly includes meat. PBDs are associated with many health benefits, such as improved metabolic and inflammatory profile. In turn, the incidence of cardiovascular disease is lower in adults consuming PBDs, which contributes to their better health. The health-promoting effects of PBDs are still not entirely clear but most likely multifactorial and include modulation of the gut microbiome. The interest in possible longevity-promoting mechanisms of PBDs has increased in recent years, as many characteristics of PBDs such as protein restriction and restriction of certain amino acids are known to extend the life span. While there is ample evidence from animal studies, large-scale human studies, which also provide insight into the specific mechanisms of the effect of PBDs on longevity, are missing. However, due to the lower protein content of PBDs, there appears to be an age limit for the anticipated health effects, as adults over 65 require larger amounts of protein.
