Roles Robert McNamara
En 1965, l'analyste Daniel Ellsberg se rend sur le front de la guerre du Viêt Nam pour y observer l'avancement des troupes américaines, pour le compte du secrétaire à la Défense, Robert McNamara. En 1971, Daniel Ellsberg travaille désormais pour RAND Corporation. Il décide de photocopier secrètement des rapports sur le progrès du conflit au Viêt Nam, depuis la présidence de Harry S. Truman à 1967, révélant le double discours des différentes administrations américaines sur les chances de victoire des États-Unis au Vietnam. Les gouvernements successifs ont ainsi caché au peuple américain la réalité de l'enlisement du conflit. Daniel Ellsberg divulgue alors des informations au New York Times. Le journal est cependant mis en garde par la justice, sous la pression du président Richard Nixon, sur les conséquences de la publication d'informations nationales classées secrètes. D'abord sur la touche, le Washington Post va récupérer le scoop grâce à la motivation de son rédacteur en chef, Benjamin Bradlee. Ce dernier va inciter la directrice du journal, Katharine Graham, à publier les fameux Pentagon Papers. Mais cette dernière doit aussi faire face à son conseil d'administration et à la future entrée en bourse de son journal. Le film s'achève sur l'arrêt de la Cour Suprême New York Times Co. v. United States, dans lequel les équipes du Washington Post s'alignent avec celles du New York Times parmi les parties convoquées, ce qui ouvre la voie sur la scène finale, montrant le Watergate de nuit, théâtre du scandale du Watergate, démarré en 1972 et qui mettra fin à la présidence Nixon en 1974.

Los Angeles Chargers not moving to London, owner angrily tells LA Times
Posted 11:33 PM, November 5, 2019, by CNN Wire
CARSON, CA - NOVEMBER 03: Philip Rivers #17 of the Los Angeles Chargers passes the ball in the first half against the Green Bay Packers at Dignity Health Sports Park on November 3, 2019 in Carson, California. (Photo by John McCoy/Getty Images)
The Chargers moved to Los Angeles from San Diego before the 2017 NFL season.
Now their owner reportedly is dismissing a story on The Athletic that says they might be on the move again — to London.
Dean Spanos told a Los Angeles Times reporter the report is "a lot of crap."
"We're playing in LA. This is our home, and this where we're planning to be for a long (expletive) time. Period. OK? If you want me to say it again, I'll say it again. (expletive) (expletive) that story. OK? Thank you," the LA Times reporter tweeted Spanos as saying.
The team on its social media accounts included a video showing Leonardo DiCaprio's character in "The Wolf of Wall Street" telling a room full of brokers that "I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving."
He adds after some profanity, "The show goes on."
The Athletic reported "through NFL sources that the possibility of the Chargers moving to London has been broached among league personnel.
"The Athletic also has learned that, while the team is fully committed to Los Angeles where it will move into the new $4.5 billion stadium with the Rams next year, the Chargers would at least listen if the NFL approached them about London as a possible option."
The story says NFL owners would support a move to London if the Chargers, the less popular of the two NFL teams in the city, want to relocate.
The report included a quote from Spanos, who says the team is committed to Los Angeles.

Bahrain and China continue their dominance at Asian Championships in Doha

Bahrain and China continue their dominance in Doha - Asian Championships, day 3
China and Bahrain continued their dominance at the 23rd Asian Athletics Championships in Doha on Tuesday (23).
Competing on an unseasonably cool evening in Khalifa Stadium - it was 26 C at the start of the session and dropped to 19 C by the start of the evening-capping women's 10,000m - China took home another six medals, two of them gold while Bahrain, largely driven by their powerful middle and long distance corps, captured five, with gold accounting for three.
Yavi takes a middle distance double
Winfred Mutile Yavi did her part for Bahrain's near-total dominance in the middle and long distances, adding the 3000m steeplechase crown to her 5000m triumph on Sunday to become these championships first double winner.
"It wasn't easy," the 19-year-old insisted.
Perhaps not, but Yavi, who took the Asian Games title and World U20 bronze last year, was on cruise control at the front from about 1900 metres into race and never relented, easily repelling the few challenges her challengers flung her way. She reached the line in 9:46.18, more than five seconds ahead of China's Xu Shuangshuang, who passed Yavi's teammate Tigist Mekonen over the final half lap to take silver in 9:51.76. Mekonen held on for third another two seconds back to take the bronze.
Shitaye Eshete Hebtegebrel kept that momentum alive with a convincing victory in the women's 10,000m. Breaking from Japan's Hitomi Niiya with just over a kilometre remaining, Eshete rolled on to a 31:15.62 victory, a championships record, and her second continental title over the distance.
"I have turned my focus to the marathon, so the race was a good test for me," said Eshete, whose impressive portfolio includes career bests of 30:47.25 and 2:24:51 in the marathon. She'll be running the Prague Marathon next month and said she'd be happy to contest both the 10,000 and the marathon when she returns to Doha for the World Championships five months from now.
Japan's Hitomi Niiya, who led the race from the 1200m point until she was passed by Eshete with 1200m remaining, clocked 31:22.63, also well under the previous championships record, for silver. Further back, India's Sanjivani Baburoa Jadhav was third with a 32:44.96 personal best to take the bronze.
Earlier, Bahrain took another gold, capturing the 4x400m mixed relay after a spirited battle with India in this event's debut at these championships.
Muhammed Anas Yahiya and Poovamma Raju Machettira gave India a clear lead through the midway point, but 400m winner Selwa Naser pulled them back into contention with a 51.14 third leg to hand anchor Abbas Abubaker, the 800m silver medallist, a narrow lead at the bell. After a bit of scuffling for position, the Bahraini built a cushion over Arokia Rajiv as they entered the back stretch and held his position through the finish. Bahrain clocked 3:15.75, India 3:16.47 and further back, Japan 3:20.29 to take the bronze.
Pole vault title No 3 for Li
China's first gold of the night came in the pole vault courtesy of Asian record holder Li Ling who captured a third continental title in the event.
Securing the gold with a first attempt clearance at 4.46m, she passed to 4.61m and needed all three tries before sailing clear. She then had the bar raised to 4.71m, five centimetres better than the championships record she set in Wuhan four years ago, but didn't come particularly close.
"I made some technical mistakes which I must avoid in my next competition," said the 29-year-old, who'll make her next appearance at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Shanghai on 18 May.
Teammate Xu Huiqin was a distant second with 4.36m.
Then, in an even more dominating display, China added another victory in the women's 4x100m relay, with Liang Xiaojing, Wei Yongli, Kong Lingwei and
Ge Manqi teaming to clock a 42.87 world lead and championships record, eclipsing the 43.10 another Chinese quartet ran in 2015.
Kazakhstan, anchored by 100m winner Olga Safronova, was second, in 43.36. Bahrain, anchored by Naser, was third in 43.61.
A few minutes later, China was first across the line in the men's 4x100m ahead of an inspired Thai quartet that sped to a 38.72 championships record in the heats on Monday. But they were later disqualified for a lane infraction when their lead runner stepped out of his lane on the opening bend, giving the victory to Thailand who clocked 38.99.
Chinese Taipei, who clocked 39.18, were elevated to silver, and Oman, who clocked a 39.36 national record, to bronze.
Second title for Voronina
With victories in four of the seven events, Ekaterina Voronina won the heptathlon by over 200 points with a 6198 tally, another early season world lead just 14 points shy of her lifetime best.
The 27-year-old Uzbek began the day with a 29-point lead but put the competition out of reach with a 53.53m effort in the javelin, nearly seven metres better than the rest of the field.
Swapna Barman of India was a distant second with 5993.
Winning performances in the discus, pole vault and javelin propelled Keisuke Ushiro of Japan to the decathlon title. The 32-year-old tallied 7872 points to add the continental crown to his two Asian Games crowns. Majed Alzaid collected 7838 points, a Kuwaiti national record, to take silver by just one point over Japan's Akhiko Nakamura.
Parinya Chuaimaroeng produced a come-from-behind victory in the triple to secure the first gold medal of these championships for Thailand. Chuaimaroeng leaped 13.72m in the final round to beat China's Zeng Rui by seven centimetres. Vidusha Lakshani of Sri Lanka reached 13.53m to take the bronze.
Nadezhda Dusanova topped 1.90 on her first attempt to take the women's high jump.
Naser began her busy day with a 22.84 personal best in the heats of the women's 200m, setting up a face-off with Safronova, the 100m champion, who clocked 22.98, for a battle of would-be double champions on tomorrow's final day of action.

I asked Tinder for my data… and I was shocked!
With the whole General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) thing going on, I was wondering what kind of personal data Tinder might have aggregated about me. So I asked them to send me all the information they had been acquiring.
Would they really know all about my «hopes, fears, sexual preferences and deepest secrets» as Judith Duportail stated in her article on The Guardian?
«We currently do not have any of your personal data stored in our databases. We are sorry to say that we are just not that interested in you.
We are sure that you are a nice person but no thank you.
Please do not write us again.


The basis of happiness is freedom. The first part of my formula for happiness states that we need to make wise choices.
Choice requires the freedom to select. Martin Luther King, Emmeline Pankhurst and Nelson Mandela, like millions of others through history, fought for our political and physical freedom. However, while we have that for the most part through our culture, traditions, our conditioning and our inherent desire to please and conform we have psychological chains that bind us even as we free the physical ones.
However, while we have that for the most part through our culture, traditions, our conditioning and our inherent desire to please and conform we have psychological chains that bind us even as we free the physical ones.
Choice requires the freedom to select. Our heart knows what we want… we just need to allow our body and spirit to follow it.
Martin Luther King, Emmeline Pankhurst and Nelson Mandela, like millions of others through history, fought for our political and physical freedom. However, while we have that for the most part, through our culture, traditions, our conditioning and our inherent desire to please and conform we have psychological chains that bind us even as we free the physical ones.
Today, we have the ability to be free, but still, we are constrained by influence and manipulation. By the expectations of our society, family and friends. Ho many people truly feel happy to follow their hearts?
Most of us are weighed down with responsibilities and obligations. And many of these are real things that we need to take care of. We can't just dump our children, spouse and parents because we want to be a professional Poker Player. Equally, though we do need to find a way to still follow our heart.
This is the challenge of being human!
Developing the wisdom and self-awareness to know what is a genuine call of our heart and what is just a whim is our work.
Resisting the world around us that has very different ideas for what we should be… without knowing our DNA and really knowing what tugs on our heart strings and makes us sing with joy… is also our work.
For otherwise we are living someone else's life, which however good the packaging might look, won't satisfy our soul.
At the risk of plagiarising Martin Luther King, I too have a dream.
A dream that one day people will live happily and peacefully. That each will have the courage and honesty to follow their hearts and say and do what they truly feel is important.
A dream that one day fears can be recognised as warnings of potential danger, but no more than that.
I dream that one day we can live peacefully accepting and even celebrating each other's differences.
I believe that the world needs less fear and more freedom.
I believe we need more independence and inspiration and less attempts to manipulate and influence.
Our heart is free. Free to roam and sift through all of the options and opportunities out there in the world and find those that pull us to them. We cannot stop this, though God knows many have tried. You see, to one who does not believe his dreams are possible to achieve, every thought of desire feels like being poked with a red hot poker. Yet though we may try to deny and sublimate our hopes and dreams they are always there, calling us to them like mythical mermaids.
While the purpose of our heart is to roam freely ahead of us, our head's job is to navigate our way through the social jungle avoiding danger. While the heart's job is to love, the head's job is to fear.
It is fear that keeps us alive, but love that makes living worthwhile. Today as you go through your day… remember to fight for your freedom in every way the world seeks to take it from you. I love the film Braveheart for the inspiration it gives to fight for every freedom. While their situation was different and they were fighting for their physical freedom today you are still being asked to change your desires to fit in with other people's ideas and so this can inspire us in our minor battles.


Probably one of the best books out there in terms of applying psychology to astrological practices. I am constantly skimming through chapters or reading passages over and over because of how valuable the information within these pages are. Arroyo is amazing!

 * This class builds Column objects, which can either be one of the base Column class
 * or one of the Laravel relationship classes (e.g. Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany,
 * etc).
 *
 * ### Example
 *
 * <code>
 * $columns_array = $columnFactory->getColumns();
 * </code>

RNase D is one of the seven exoribonucleases identified in E. coli. It is a 3'-5' exoribonuclease which has been shown to be involved in the 3' processing of various stable RNA molecules.   RNase D has homologues in many other organisms. When a part of another larger protein has a domain that is very similar to RNase D, this is called an RNase D domain.

La Turritopsis polycirrha  è un idrozoo della famiglia Oceaniidae.

Descrizione
La medusa adulta misura 4–5 mm di lungo ed ha un diametro simile. È provvista di un numero che va da 80 a 90 tentacoli. Il corpo ha larghi canali radiali e la parte apicale arrotondata; sia lo stomaco che le gonadi sono di colore cremisi. Cellule vacuolate (ossia delimitate da una membrana propria e contenenti una soluzione acquosa) sono presenti in un gruppo compatto ad un estremo del manubrio.

Sebbene poco si sappia dello stato polipoide della T. polycirrha, tranne che le colonie si sviluppano in stolone e che i rossi polipi hanno radi tentacoli filiformi.

Questa specie è stata spesso confusa con la T. nutricula, presente lungo le coste americane. La separazione fra le due specie è stata stabilita sulla base di differenze nell'estensione dell'endoderma, molto più sviluppato nella T. polycirrha, e nei canali radiali. Le cellule vacuolate del manubrio appaiono diverse nella T. nutricola, in quanto sono chiaramente separate in quattro gruppi.

Distribuzione e habitat
Si tratta di una specie neritica. La T. polycirrha è presente nel nord Atlantico, nella Manica, lungo le coste della Gran Bretagna e nella parte meridionale del mar del Nord, fino a Helgoland.

Il genere Turritopsis si pensa abbia origini nell'Oceano Pacifico e si è diffuso poi in tutto il mondo per migrazioni trans-artiche, generando specie diverse.

Ciclo vitale
La T. polycirrha  si può riprodurre sia in modo ermafrodito che dioico e larviparo; in quest'ultimo caso, trasportano le uova fertilizzate e le rilasciano unicamente quando le planule sono completamente formate. Questo comportamento si ritrova nella T. rubra della Nuova Zelanda.

Le meduse adulte si trovano nei mesi autunnali ed invernali, il che fa presumere che le giovani meduse vengano liberate durante l'estate.

            $result = $result[0];
            echo 'didnt exist';
}

I am always ending up with the results of the echo 'didnt exist.' Any help here is greatly appreciated.

A: my first observation that might be solution, you have:
  if(file_exists('templates/cache/' . $persona['toolbar_id'] . 'txt')){

Don't you miss a dot before txt? I believe it should be:
 if(file_exists('templates/cache/' . $persona['toolbar_id'] . '.txt')){

In every other method, for example here:
 file_put_contents('templates/cache/' . $persona['toolbar_id']. '.txt', $result);

you have .txt :)

Clearcover only offers car insurance, and coverages include liability, comprehensive, collision, roadside assistance, rideshare coverage, and alternate transportation coverage.
If you drive for Lyft, Uber, or another rideshare, you might not be aware that your personal insurance won't cover you while working. Clearcover makes it easy to add rideshare coverage to your personal policy so that you are covered no matter why you are driving.
Alternate transportation coverage is a unique offering from Clearcover. Although many car insurance companies offer rental car coverage if your vehicle is damaged, you are locked into using a rental car.

Discounts can make such a huge impact on your rates that they can actually change which company can offer your the best deal. Don't forget to take into account discounts as you compare rates.
You can cancel your Clearcover car insurance at any time by chatting with customer service in the app or by calling 1-855-444-1875. You will need to have your policy number available and the date you want your policy to end.
Before you cancel coverage, shop around for new car insurance. Be sure to have your new coverage begin before your Clearcover insurance ends. According to the Insurance Information Institute, a lapse in car insurance can lead to fines, a driver's license suspension, and even having your car impounded.
It's easy to file an accident claim with Clearcover. You can begin the process in the app and even upload pictures of the damage to your vehicle. The claims process is usually complete within a week.
Knowing when you should file a claim can save you money in the long run.
Keep in mind that filing a claim can actually increase your car insurance rates. Depending on the cost of repairs, it may be cheaper to pay for them yourself than pay higher car insurance rates.
You should always check an insurance company's ratings while looking at rates. Ratings indicate whether or not a company will be reliable and easy to communicate with.
While the Clearcover car insurance company is too new to receive a financial strength rating from A.M. Best, its underwriter Fortegra received an A- rating. This shows an excellent ability to meet financial commitments.
Clearcover, however, has been around long enough to receive Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating for customer interaction. Clearcover received an A rating as well as accreditation.
Because the Clearcover app is used for almost everything, how well it's rated by users is very important. The app received a 4.6/5 rating in the Google Play Store and a 4.8/5 in the Apple App Store.
Clearcover only offers digital car insurance to drivers in 20 states. While rates can be up to 30% lower than average, not all drivers will find affordable Clearcover car insurance. Also, the lack of personalized service and other types of insurance may be a turn-off for drivers.
Shop around before you settle on a car insurance company. Consider rates, discounts, and ratings to find an insurance company that best meets your needs.

Comparison of a Sonographer's Salary to a RN's Salary
Brooke Julia
Growth Trends for Related Jobs
Purchasing Managers $115,760/year /> 2012-2016 +1.2%
Announcers $30,445/year /> 2012-2016 +0.4%
So you want to work in healthcare but you aren't sure which position would be better suited to you: becoming a registered nurse or a diagnostic sonographer. Both have similar salaries and similar lengths of educational time, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). But the actual work is quite different.
Do You Like Nursing?
Registered nurses are an integral part of the medical field; in fact, according to the BLS, registered nurses make up the largest sector of healthcare. Their tasks are multi-fold. In addition to clerical duties, which include taking, updating and filing patient records, they assist in running tests, administering medicine, educated patients about healthcare and providing emotional support to patients and their families. Nurses reach their positions through one of three educational pathways: an associate or bachelor degree, or a diploma from a teaching hospital.
Average Nursing Pay
In May 2008, the occupational statistics survey conducted by the BLS showed registered nurses earning $62,000 annually, on average. Most nurses are employed by hospitals, but while the BLS predicts that hospitals will remain the largest employer, job openings are expected to increase at a greater rate in physicians' offices through 2018.
Do You Prefer Sonography?
Diagnostic medical sonographers also play an important role in the healthcare industry. By employing sonography -- a technology that uses sounds waves to produce an image of a person's insides -- sonographers search for visual cues that separate healthy from unhealthy, according to the BLS. From checking up on a pregnancy to screening the nervous system for possible cancer, sonographers perform vital medical work. Most enter the field with an associate or bachelor degree, though certificate programs are also acceptable.
Average Sonographer Pay
The same 2008 study showed sonographers averaged a few dollars short of $62,000 a year, according to the BLS. Approximately 59 percent of sonographers employed that year (50,300) worked in hospitals and that isn't expected to change. Again, though, job growth should be more rapid in private doctors' offices through 2018.

Eastham tweaks proposed rules for farm animals
Board of Health draft regulations apply to noncommercial animals but not pets
By Denise Coffey
Cape Cod Times
EASTHAM — Residents who attended a hearing Tuesday night on proposed regulations for noncommercial farm animals expressed concerns that the rules go too far and that the people who drafted them don't know enough about the subject.
The eight-page draft lays out definitions, permit and application requirements, lot sizes, setbacks, animal shelter guidelines and animal care plans. There are even penalties for violations.
"We're looking for input and will accept written comments and questions," Board of Health Chairwoman Joanna Buffington told those watching via Zoom videoconference.
The regulations are specifically for animals such as alpacas, chickens, cows, ducks, emus, geese, goats, horses, llamas, ostriches, rabbits, sheep, swine and turkeys.
They do not apply to pets.
Dog owners must abide by their own set of rules, including annual registration fees. And any owner with more than three dogs must apply for a kennel permit.
There are no rules governing cats, although some towns on the Cape have instituted regulations because of hoarding situations.
Because the draft rules cover a range of species, and because the animals differ greatly in their need for food, space, shelter and management, there was a lot of ground to cover.
But the need for regulations is clear, according to resident Stephen Wasby. He was a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals when an applicant sought a permit for a horse shelter.
"We found ourselves dealing with matters related to horses and we had no regulations," he said. That incident prompted town officials to establish a task force to come up with rules for farm animals.
"If people will build something for these animals outside, we need something, otherwise we have no way of governing," Wasby said. "Our animal control officer would have no guidelines to enforce."
Wasby was a member of the task force, which looked at regulations in other towns. It asked the public for input and held a hearing before sending the draft to the Board of Health. No one showed up, he said.
The state has its own set of regulations, including a requirement for barn inspections. Eastham's part-time animal control officer, Desmond Keogh, will be responsible for such inspections.
The regulations proposed by Eastham include guidelines for the basic care, sheltering and feeding of animals. No animal shall be subject to abuse, mistreatment or malnourishment. All animals shall be properly vaccinated. And some animals will not be allowed under any circumstances, including bulls, minks, roosters, cockerels, guinea hens and peacocks.
There are land and shelter space requirements for different species, as well as maximum numbers allowed. For instance, someone may have only two horses, four llamas or 10 rabbits. A rabbit hutch ceiling must be at least 3 feet tall. A large draft horse would require a 16-by-16-foot stall with a 12-foot ceiling. Someone wanting to own a horse would need a lot of at least 30,000 square feet.
There were some lighter moments during the discussion.
One woman said she thought it was over the top to require someone to get a permit for a rabbit or a duck. She was reminded that pets did not fall under the regulations.
Someone asked why dog owners were not required to manage their animal's manure if owners of farm animals had to.
But the meeting showed there was room for clarification. One woman buys meat birds each year in a number that would exceed what is allowed in the draft regulations. She explained the timeline, the number of birds required and the process by which she and her family grow their own food.
"As long as it's clear it's not commercial, a permit could be granted," Wasby said. "There are going to be cases for which people want exceptions."
"We are expecting people to apply for variances," board member Francie Williams said. "We will consider them on their merits."
"Are you going to be filling up your agenda with variances for chickens?" one woman quipped.
Select Board member Jared Collins assured participants that the regulations would be guided by science-based facts.
Buffington said the regulations were in the best interests of the animals, humans and the environment.
"We love our animals, we love our town and our environment," she said.

The Empty Horizon
By dad2059 on December 31, 2012
From Aeon Magazine:
The Pont de Normandie bridge over the Seine estuary. Photo by Jean Gaumy/Magnum
Marek Kohn is an author and journalist. His most recent book is Turned Out Nice: How the British Isles will Change as the World Heats Up.
Make a model of the world in your mind. Populate it, starting with the people you know. Build it up and furnish it. Draw in the lines that connect it all together, and the ones that divide it. Then roll it into the future. As you go forward, things disappear. Within a century or so, you and all the people around you have gone. As things go that are certain to go, they leave empty spaces. So do the uncertainties: the things that may not be things in the future, or may take different forms — vehicles, homes, ways of communicating, nations — that from here can be no more than a shimmer on the horizon. As one thing after another disappears, the scene fades to white. If you want a vision, you'll have to project it yourself.
Occasionally, people take steps to counter the emptying by making things that will endure into the distant future. At a Hindu monastery in Hawaii, the Iraivan Temple is being built to last 1,000 years, using special concrete construction techniques. Carmelite monks plan to build a gothic monastery in the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming that will stand equally long. Norway's National Library is expected to preserve documents for a 1,000-year span. The Long Now Foundation dwarfs these ambitions by an order of magnitude with its project to build a clock, inside a Nevada mountain, that will work for 10,000 years. And underground waste disposal plans for the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant in Finland have been reviewed for the next 250,000 years; the spent fuel will be held in copper canisters promised to last for millions of years.
An empty horizon matters. How can you care about something you can't imagine?
A project can also reach out to the distant future even if it doesn't have a figure placed on its lifespan. How many blueprints for great works, such as Gaudí's Sagrada Família cathedral in Barcelona, or Haussmann's Paris boulevards, or even Bazalgette's London sewers, were drawn with the distant future in the corner of the architect's or the engineer's eye? The value of longevity is widely taken for granted: the 1,000-year targets for the Iraivan Temple, the new Mount Carmel monastery and the National Library of Norway are declared with little explanation as to why that particular round number has been chosen.
Instead, they play to intuition. A 1,000-year span has an intuitive symmetry for nations such as Norway that have a millennium of history behind them: it alludes to the depth of the nation's heritage while suggesting that the country has at least as much history yet to come. For spiritual institutions, 1,000 years is short enough to be credible — England, for example, is dotted with Norman churches approaching their millennium — and long enough to refer to a timescale that extends beyond normal human capacities, thus pointing to the divine and the eternal.
People don't generally reach out to the distant future for the future's sake. Often what they chiefly want to reach is a contemporary audience. Going to extreme lengths to prevent vestigial nuclear hazards the other side of the next ice age is a demonstration of capacity, commitment to safety, and attention to detail. If this is what we're doing for the distant future, it says to an uneasy public, you can be absolutely sure that we've got every possible near-term risk covered, too.
At the ultimate extreme, the Voyager space probes are carrying samplers of human culture, on golden disks, out of the solar system and on into infinite space. The notional beneficiaries are life forms that are not known to exist, from planets not yet detected, at distances the probes will not reach for millions of years. But the real beneficiaries were the people who reflected on our species and its place in the universe as they assembled the records and their content. The golden disks were mirrors of the culture that made them.
Any project with a distant time-horizon can be explained away as an exercise that invokes the future in the pursuit of immediate goals. But even if such a project is all about us, that doesn't mean it's not about the future too. The Long Now Foundation is an attempt to cultivate a consciousness that expands the horizons of the present. (Its name emerged from Brian Eno's observation that in New York what people meant by 'now' was markedly shorter than what people meant by it in Europe.) By expanding 'now' to multi-millennial proportions, it makes us part of the future, and the future part of us.
The Great Cathedrals of the Middle Ages ( and of course, The Great Pyramids millenia earlier ) fit into this category also. Whole families were employed for generations constructing these great pieces of archecture and art.
It has been proposed that future interstellar missions to Alpha Centauri, Gliese and Tau Ceti could be considered long-term multi-generation projects also ( barring invention of a warp drive ). Such projects could only happen if Earth like worlds are confirmed by advanced telescopes inspecting these stars in order to justify the expense of these missions.
Either way, future projects of this magnitude aren't strangers to Mankind. Maybe the horizon isn't quite so empty?

Q: get url id in php and display result in html Hi i have written this code in order to get the news id from url and display the news result from this id which is stored in mysql. I dont know what i am doing wrong. But i am getting any output. I have also test my query which is running fine in mysql.I am doing small misatke which is not able to identif may be syntax or quotation somewhere. Thanks.
Here is my Url:
http://autodo/admin/news.php?id=2043

Here is my code:
    <?php
   $ID=$_GET['id'];
   $sql="   SELECT DISTINCT ad_news.datum, ad_news_texte.text, ad_news_texte.headline, ad_news_texte.id
                    FROM autodo.ad_news_texte, autodo.ad_news
                    WHERE ad_news_texte.id =".$ID."
                    GROUP BY ad_news_texte.text, ad_news_texte.headline, ad_news_texte.id";
  echo $sql_select=mysql_query($sql);
   if($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql_select)){
            $news_id= $row['id'];
            $news_datum= $row['datum'];
          $news_text= $row['text'];
            $news_headline= $row['headline'];
?>
<div class="welcome-rahmen lng toggleNews" id="<?= $news_id ?> ">

<?= $news_datum ?>

<?= $news_headline ?>

<?= $news_text ?>

<? } ?>

A: Some mistakes,

*

*You mixing shorthand and echo for printing output.

*Missing ; semi-colon at end of echo statment.

*Syntax error in query

Firstly turn on your errors adding ini_set("display_errors",1); on top of your file.
Use below statemnt for everywhere you output the variable,
<?php echo $news_id; ?>

Or,
<?= $news_id ?>

Query should be,
$sql=" SELECT DISTINCT ad_news.datum, ad_news_texte.text, ad_news_texte.headline, ad_news_texte.id
                    FROM autodo.ad_news_texte, autodo.ad_news
                    WHERE ad_news_texte.id = '$ID'
                    GROUP BY ad_news_texte.text, ad_news_texte.headline, ad_news_texte.id";

Waring: Please, don't use mysql_* functions in new code. They are no longer maintained and are officially deprecated. See the red box? Learn about prepared statements instead, and use PDO or MySQLi - this article will help you decide which. If you choose PDO, here is a good tutorial.

A: You should concatenate $ID and sql string by .
For example:
 $sql="   SELECT DISTINCT ad_news.datum, ad_news_texte.text, ad_news_texte.headline, ad_news_texte.id
                    FROM autodo.ad_news_texte, autodo.ad_news
                    WHERE ad_news_texte.id =".$ID."
                    GROUP BY ad_news_texte.text, ad_news_texte.headline, ad_news_texte.id";

A: first change quote to variable in where of query like
WHERE ad_news_texte.id ='$ID'

then no use of echo in
<?= echo $news_datum ?> try in all of your code <?= $news_datum ?>
so your whole code will be
<?php
   $ID=$_GET['id'];
   $sql="SELECT DISTINCT ad_news.datum, ad_news_texte.text, ad_news_texte.headline, ad_news_texte.id FROM autodo.ad_news_texte, autodo.ad_news WHERE ad_news_texte.id ='$ID' GROUP BY ad_news_texte.text, ad_news_texte.headline, ad_news_texte.id";
  $sql_select=mysql_query($sql);
  $checkrow = mysql_num_rows($sql_select);
  if($checkrow > 0) {
     if($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql_select)){
            $news_id= $row['id'];
            $news_datum= $row['datum'];
          $news_text= $row['text'];
            $news_headline= $row['headline'];
    ?>
     <div class="welcome-rahmen lng toggleNews" id="<?= $news_id ?> ">

<?= $news_datum ?>

<?= $news_headline ?>

   <?= $news_text ?><?php }
 }
 else {
   echo 'query does not return any rows';
 }?>

A: You have used <?= echo - <?= alone is the same as <?php echo Additionally, as another pointed out you are missing several ; at the end of lines.
Regardless, I would encourage you to use prepared statements or otherwise sanitize the data you are pulling from the query string as your query as written is vulnerable to SQL injection.

Commitment to Egypt's New Constitution Questioned after 'Blasphemy' Charge
Christian on trial for 'liking' Facebook page run by converts from Islam.
June 10, 2014 By Our Middle East Correspondent - Leave a Comment

ISTANBUL, Turkey (Morning Star News) – Charges of "blasphemy" against a Christian in Egypt for "liking" a Facebook page run by converts from Islam call into question the government's commitment to a new constitution guaranteeing freedom of belief and thought, rights activists said.
Kerolos Shouky Attallah, of Al-Mahamid village near Luxor, is accused of violating Article 98F of the Egyptian Penal Code for "liking" an Arabic-language Facebook page administered by an anonymous group of Christian converts known as the Knights of the Cross. According to Attallah's attorney, Mohamed Ahmed Abd-Alaal, the 29-year-old Christian did not make any comments on the site, share any of the postings or upload anything to it.
Safwat Samaan, chairman of Nation Without Borders, a human rights and development group headquartered in Luxor, said the accusation against Attallah was ludicrous.
"It's unbelievable. He is being accused just for 'liking' a page on Facebook," said Samaan.
The Knights of the Cross Facebook page was designed to provide Arabic-speaking converts from Islam – many forced to live alone and in hiding – a cyber-place to encourage each other and safely discuss the Bible. Members also post essays about Christian apologetics and entries about perceived errors and conflicts in the Koran. Anyone can read the posts, and sections about the Koran are often met with profanity-laced outpourings of anger from Muslims.
In one satirical entry, someone posted a cartoon mocking hard-core Salafi Muslims for being hypocritical. Attallah had not "liked" the cartoon, but Muslim villagers in Al-Mahamid, friends of Attallah's Muslim Facebook friends, saw the cartoon as an indictment of Islam, increasing their anger against him for liking the site, according to his lawyer and Samaan.
On May 28, Muslims printed and distributed leaflets demanding vengeance against Attallah. One leaflet read, "You will not be men if you don't kick him out of your village," according to Samaan.
In response, Attallah "unliked" the page, but the next day villagers attacked his house. When police came, they arrested Attallah and charged him with Egypt's version of a blasphemy law – showing "disdain" for a heavenly religion. All the Muslims who attacked Attallah's house were released without charge.
"The Egyptian law only goes one way, only against people who are innocent," Samaan said. "Who should be in jail, someone for pressing 'like' or the person who is going around burning and attacking people?"
According to the Egyptian penal code, violation of Article 98F is punishable by "detention for a period of not less than six months and not exceeding five years, or paying a fine of not less than 500 pounds and not exceeding 1,000 pounds."
A violation of the article is described as an act that advocates or spreads "extremist thoughts with the aim of instigating sedition and division," or an act that shows disdain or contempt for "any of the heavenly religions or the sects belonging thereto." Using religion in a way that harms "national unity or social peace" is also a violation.
On Jan. 14 and 15, Egyptians passed a referendum on a new constitution that, according to supporters, ensures the basic rights of free speech and belief for Egyptians – or at least for those belonging to approved branches of the three "heavenly religions" as delineated in the Koran. But the existence of a blasphemy law in Egypt in itself, human rights activists said, is a violation of Egypt's new constitution, which was supposed to take effect on Jan. 18.
"According to the constitution, Kerolos should not be in jail, because it allows freedom of speech and expression, but the judges are not using the new constitution and are still working with the old law," Samaan said. "They are basically ignoring the new constitution."
Samaan said the constitution is like a beautiful frame placed around an ugly photograph to make it seem better; the constitution is merely an attempt to give the state credibility.
"It's just a beautiful frame, but it is not really for use," he said.
Historically, Samaan said, judges in Luxor Province in Upper Egypt have been very aggressive in prosecuting blasphemy cases, handing down sentences well above statutory limits. Last June, a Luxor Province judge issued a sentence of 100,000 Egyptian pounds (US$14,270), against Demyana Abd Al-Nour, an elementary school teacher from Sheikh Sultan Primary School in the village of Al-Edisat, accused of committing blasphemy. The fine was well in excess of the amount allowed by law and Al-Nour's ability to pay.
She has been living in hiding in Europe for almost a year as her case winds through the appeals process. A hearing was scheduled for June 1, but the judge assigned to the case did not appear for reasons undisclosed to media. Her next hearing is scheduled for Sunday (June 15).
Human rights groups say that the blasphemy law is used disproportionately against the Coptic minority of Egypt. A study released in May 2013 by the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) found that 41 percent of blasphemy cases taken to court from Jan. 25, 2011, to Dec. 31, 2012, were filed against Christians, who make up only about 10 percent of Egypt's population of more than 85 million people.
Attallah was held in jail for four days until presented to a judge for his first hearing. Samaan said authorities questioned him without the presence of any lawyer. During the hearing, a group of Islamists brought around 20 lawyers to the court to support their claims of blasphemy, but the judge ordered the attorneys out of the courtroom and postponed the case.
A new hearing date was scheduled for June 24, and Attallah returned to prison. Because a judge never signed an order for him to be held for an additional 15 days, he is now technically being held illegally, Samaan said. He said the judge likely postponed the case because there was no evidence presented against Attallah during the hearing.
Abd-Alaal, Attallah's attorney, agreed.
"There is no physical proof of a crime," Abd-Alaal said. "The act of which he is being accused did not happen."
Before Attallah even set foot in the courtroom, Islamists started an attack on the village of Al-Mahamid. First they turned off electricity to the village. As people began filling out of their homes to escape the summer heat, the Islamists set fire to a Coptic-owned carpentry supply store.
The fire spread to a Christian-owned clothing store and then to a three-wheel motorcycle taxi known as a tuk-tuk that was parked nearby. At least three stores were destroyed. There were no casualties in the attack, but Abd-Alaal said things are still very strained in Al-Mahamid.
"The atmosphere is very tense; anyone could use it to start sectarian violence," he said.
Samaan said numerous attorneys, including Copts, turned down the case. Most blasphemy cases are deemed as hopeless, problematic and even dangerous for the defending attorney. Abd-Alaal, a Muslim, said he took the case ultimately because he thought Attallah was innocent.
"A lot of other lawyers refused the case because they thought they would lose," he said. "I accepted the case because I have faith. I believe he is innocent from all the evidence I have."
Abd-Alaal said he expects a verdict in the case at the next hearing.

Ida Scudder by Janet & Geoff Benge {A Book Review}
This post contains affiliate links. School's back in session for us, so that means Cuddle Bug and I are delving back into the Christian Heroes series. Since Cuddle Bug wanted to study India and learn about India's history, we chose Ida Scudder by Janet & Geoff Benge as one of our supplemental books. (We're reading A Children's History of India as our textbook for this unit.) We both enjoyed the book and found Scudder to be a role model for young women.
About Ida Scudder by Janet & Geoff Benge
Ida Scudder was born in India in 1870 to missionary parents. As a young girl, she remembered helping her mother feed the children of India who were starving due to a famine. The memory haunted her, and she vowed never to return to India when her family went back to the United States on furlough.
Ida grew up in boarding schools after her parents went back to India, and like many young girls, she was concerned with superficial things like her hair and clothes, etc. India was the furthest thing from her mind. . .until she got a telegram that her mother was sick and that she should come to India. She planned to stay only briefly until one fateful night changed her mind.
Scudder goes on to become a missionary in India along with many of her immediate and extended family. However, Ida's mission is to help the women of India as a female doctor.
My Thoughts on the Book
Cuddle Bug and I both liked reading about Ida Scudder. She faced unimaginable odds, first in becoming a female physician at the turn of the century, then raising enough money to build a hospital in India. Once in India, Scudder must help the Indian people trust her so that she can help treat them and eventually train many people to become physicians in India.
I appreciated that Scudder seemed to do her missionary work by helping others rather than just preaching to them. She truly lived out her faith. We found her a role model both in her professional and personal life.
I give Ida Scudder by Janet & Geoff Benge 4 out of 5 stars on the Mom's Plans' scale.
