Flying to Dubai today for a 36 hour work trip with my husband John Clare. Heading from a grey Heathrow airport to 40 degrees would normally be lovely but as we are working we won't see sunlight at all.
John's company, Lionsden Communications, specialises in communicating clearly about science and medicine. We are working with one of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies.
This is where my 40 years of journalism and communicating experience offer something different in the corporate training world.

Q: Sorting a dictionary in a C# Windows Form I've got a windows form application in c# which I'm displaying a dictionary.
What I want to do is to sort the dictionary.
Within the dictionary there are file paths along with a value of how many times there are in the dictionary. I want to sort the list to have the entry that appears the most at the top and the lowest at the bottom
I've got no idea where to start.
This is my code at the moment:
    namespace Xml_reader
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        Dictionary<string, int> _dictionary = new Dictionary<string, int>();
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void getFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            FileStream fileStream = null;
            fileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\myProject\svn.xml", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);

            XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(log) );
            log logInstance;
            lock (xmlSerializer)
            {
                logInstance = (log)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(fileStream);
            }
            _dictionary = CreateDictionary(logInstance);
        }

        private Dictionary<string, int> CreateDictionary(log logInstance)
        {
            Dictionary<string, int> dictionary = new Dictionary<string, int>();
            int commonStringNumber = FindCommonString(logInstance);
            for (int entryIdex = 0; entryIdex < logInstance.logentry.Count(); entryIdex++)
            {

                logLogentry entry = logInstance.logentry[entryIdex];

                for (int pathIdex = 0; pathIdex < entry.paths.Count(); pathIdex++)
                {
                    logLogentryPath path = entry.paths[pathIdex];
                    string filePath = path.Value;

                    if (filePath.Length >= commonStringNumber)
                    {
                        string cutPath = filePath.Substring(commonStringNumber);
                        if (dictionary.ContainsKey(cutPath))
                        {
                            dictionary[cutPath]++;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            dictionary.Add(cutPath, 1);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            return dictionary;
        }

        private static int FindCommonString(log logInstance)
        {
            string fCompare = logInstance.logentry[0].paths[0].Value;
            for (int entryIdex = 0; entryIdex < logInstance.logentry.Count(); entryIdex++)
            {
                logLogentry entry = logInstance.logentry[entryIdex];

                for (int pathIdex = 0; pathIdex < entry.paths.Count(); pathIdex++)
                {
                    logLogentryPath path = entry.paths[pathIdex];
                    string fcheck = path.Value;
                    fCompare = similarString(fCompare, fcheck);

                }

            }
            return fCompare.Length;
        }

        private static string similarString(string fCompare, string fcheck)
        {
            int length = Math.Min(fCompare.Length, fcheck.Length);
            string common = String.Empty;
            for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
            {

                if (fCompare[i] == fcheck[i])
                {
                    common += fCompare[i];
                }
                else
                {
                    break;
                }
            }
            return common;
        }

        private void converToText(Dictionary<string, int> dictionaryList)
        {
            List<KeyValuePair<string, int>> changesWithValues = dictionaryList.ToList();
            display(changesWithValues);
        }

        private void display(List<KeyValuePair<string, int>> changesWithValues)
        {
            textBox1.Text = String.Join(Environment.NewLine, changesWithValues.Where(kvp => kvp.Key != "").Select(kvp => string.Format("{0} = {1}", kvp.Key, kvp.Value)));
        }

        private void Show_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            converToText(_dictionary);
        }

A: You may try this:
List<KeyValuePair<string, int>> myList = _dictionary.ToList();

myList.Sort((firstPair,nextPair) =>
    {
        return firstPair.Value.CompareTo(nextPair.Value);
    }
);

Let's do some testing. With this code:
_dictionary.Add("Toto", 33);
_dictionary.Add("Tutu", 22);
_dictionary.Add("Pouet", 2);
_dictionary.Add("Pouetr", 57);

List<KeyValuePair<string, int>> myList = _dictionary.ToList();

myList.Sort((firstPair, nextPair) => firstPair.Value.CompareTo(nextPair.Value));
myList.Reverse();

foreach (KeyValuePair<string, int> keyValuePair in myList)
{
    Console.Out.WriteLine(keyValuePair.Value + " " + keyValuePair.Key);
}

I get:
57 Pouetr
33 Toto
22 Tutu
2 Pouet

So, technically, it's working...

The arts play a central role at Regent College, and we pay great attention to the physical space in which we study, work, and interact.
Art around campus
Every floor of Regent College features artwork in a variety of media that not only enhance the space visually, but also inspire reflection and interaction. We hope you will take the time to walk around and discover the pieces for yourself. Here are some highlights from our collection.
The Entrance of the Words Giveth Light—Psalm 119:130
Artist: Friedrich Peter
Medium: calligraphy
Location: Atrium
Description: Friedrich Peter is an internationally renowned visual artist, calligrapher, typeface designer, and painter. In addition to this painting, you will find the College's mission statement written out in his calligraphy on one of the atrium walls. Most recently, Peter Friedrich's work was exhibited in The Dal Schindell Gallery in January–February 2012.
The Crucifixion after Grünewald
Artist: Maria Gabankova
Location:upper level
Description: This painting is a reproduction of a section of the Grünewald altarpiece (the original is installed in the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, France). The realism and painful detail of this crucifixion scene reminds us of Christ's humanity and sacrifice, and of his union with our own individual suffering.
Artist: David Robinson
Medium: steel, copper, bronze
Location:library
Description: Font was created for an exhibition at the Lookout Gallery (now the Dal Schindell Gallery) in 2003. It was inspired by an invitation from gallery director Dal Schindell to create some sketches on the theme of the seven "I am" sayings of Christ in the book of John: "I am the true vine … I am the living water" etc… The piece depicts a man balancing on a globe, and shouldering a beam from which hang two buckets of water. The water overflows and gathers in a bowl that itself is filled to the brim. The work eludes any one interpretation. Read the artist's thoughts on this piece on David Robinson's website.
After its founding in 1968, Regent College had a number of temporary homes before it moved to its current location at 5800 University Boulevard in 1988. The new building was designed by architect Clive Grout. It is a light-filled space, centred on an atrium that buzzes with activity and forms the heart of the Regent community.
Between 2005 and 2007, the building underwent a major renovation and expansion, which focused on a new library facility. Architect Clive Grout was again responsible for the library design, which was built underground at the north end of the campus. You would never know that the library is underground by the amount of natural light that streams into the space through floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights, and a forty-foot-high wind tower.
The True North Tower is a collaboration between Clive Grout, Walter Francl Architects, and glass artist Sarah Hall. The tower provides natural ventilation for the library, thereby reducing the need to rely on electricity. The library is heated and cooled by a radiant system that uses natural pressure to push fresh air through the library by way of floor diffusers. The air is then exhausted through the wind tower.
The outside of the tower features an extraordinary stained glass installation, titled Lux Nova—the first installation of photovoltaic art glass in North America. The glass is filled with photovoltaic cells that absorb solar energy, which is later used to power the LED lighting system at night. Arranged within the column are twelve crosses of coloured glass, and the Lord's prayer written in Aramaic. Visit artist Sarah Hall's website to learn more about her work.
Clive Grout and Sarah Hall were awarded the prestigious Design Merit Award for Sacred Landscapes from the American Institute of Architects in 2009. The tower received extensive media coverage, including articles and spreads in the National Post, Interior Design Magazine, Studio Magazine, In Trust Magazine, Christian Week, and Faith & Form. Sarah Hall was interviewed about the tower by CBC.
The True North Tower combines beauty and function in a powerful message about art, technology, spirituality, and environmental responsibility. The apex of the tower points to the North Star, reminding us of the true source of light and life.
The Wind Tower is located on a wide, manicured expanse of grass that stretches along the front of Regent's campus. During the warm spring and summer months, this small park is packed with students studying or just relaxing in the sunshine.
Rita Houston Kitchen
On Tuesday, April 12, 2011, Regent College honoured Rita Houston for her many years of faithful ministry to the Regent community by renaming the Regent College Kitchen to the Rita Houston Kitchen. The new name honours Rita's commitment to home and hospitality, and is an invitation to all who prepare or receive food from the kitchen to carry Rita's dedication and example as a servant of God into their own homes, churches, academies, and the marketplace.

Return of the prodigal
Well, the prodigal has returned, with unbelievable numbers that even he did not expect. And surely, it couldn't be on account of "tampered" EVMs, about which he complained to the Election Commission. He is back to government, despite his inherent discomfort with it, and will have to overcome his addiction to the heady, irresponsible world of activism and protest. But who must he thank for this bonanza? Himself alone, or must he also thank the BJP, who from start to finish did everything possible for him to achieve not only his goal of capturing the Government of Delhi despite his previous shenanigans and betrayal of the people, but to also virtually sweep away both the dying Congress and the hubris-ridden BJP with his broom.
For the BJP, it was a star-crossed campaign, starting with the timing of the election. Can BJP political strategists explain why Delhi elections were not held just after the Parliament elections, when Narendra Modi was at the crest of a wave, and Kejriwal was a demolished leader, a deserter? Then followed what appeared to be a calculated marginalisation of the established Delhi BJP leadership.. Harsh Vardhan, an extremely popular Delhi BJP leader and a continuous winner of five elections since 1993, was humiliated and removed as Health Minister. A charitable interpretation of this insult was that this would give him more time to concentrate on the impending Delhi elections, where he would be projected as the Chief Ministerial candidate. Instead, Harsh Vardhan was humiliated further by having his constituency snatched from him, a constituency he had won by more than 40,000 votes in 2013.
Why a career police officer, who joined the BJP barely 22 days before the election, was suddenly catapulted into a highly contested election, and why the local BJP cadre was marginalised, if not humiliated, is also inexplicable. Such actions only confirm public comments that the BJP has fallen into the Congress high command mould, something that will cause costly political mistakes, Delhi being just the first. These perceptions do no credit to BJP's political decision makers, whoever they might be, and surely these same decision makers should be aware of the feedback — that they are seen as averse to having powerful and popular Chief Ministers, just like the Congress before them. Maharashtra, Haryana, and Goa are cited as examples. The Prime Minister must realise that such perceptions have already started denting his image. He must reflect on how to prevent further damage.
I must also inform the BJP leadership that they are being perceived as having only aversion and scorn for known and unknown persons and organisations which supported them in their dark days, when the entire heft of the previous regime was out to destroy them and send them to political oblivion. Take the case of the powerful section of lawyers who sincerely worked for BJP's success, just as I did, during the entire election campaign last year. But the new dispensation showed their gratitude by ignoring them completely. When they turned against the BJP after Kiran Bedi was announced the Chief Ministerial candidate, even I could not succeed in changing their mind.
Though still not the subject of public debate, yet I'm sure the BJP is quite aware that a large chunk of the AAP vote was the erstwhile BJP vote. Clearly, this was the answer that the Delhi BJP cadres gave to their dictatorial high command. One might just look at the simple arithmetic of Krishna Nagar constituency where Kiran Bedi lost by about 2,200 votes, which Harsh Vardhan had won by about 43,000 votes in 2013. Where did all of Harsh Vardhan's votes go? Call it sabotage or revolt, but most importantly, it is a lesson that BJP's highest decision makers must learn.
Now, let's see how the BJP wooed the Delhi voter. I'm informed that the newly elected MPs remained uninvolved in connecting the party with the voter. Prices of fruit, vegetables, pulses and other day to day requirements kept soaring, hitting their highest during election month, and bringing great distress to the poor and middle classes. This failing of the government became even more pronounced because in spite of petrol and diesel prices falling, corresponding decrease in food prices did not happen; instead there was a colossal upward jump. Every administration has enough powers and mechanisms to stabilise prices, if it so chooses. But the Delhi administration under President's Rule remained inert and unresponsive. As if that were not enough, the Finance Minister came up with a special incentive to woo his voters, promising them that LPG subsidy would soon be scrapped for "well off" people. Many motives are being ascribed for this strategy for inviting defeat, that I'm sure will come to light sooner or later. But the middle classes were completely disillusioned.
This ill-conceived strategy, something unexpected from master strategist Amit Shah, whose greatest forte is supposed to be winning elections, was further debased by the substandard and counterproductive content of the campaign, so uncharacteristic of Modi. Why the Prime Minister had to repeatedly stake his personal credibility to compete with a neophyte, famous for making false promises to a constituency of the gullible, is not easy to understand.
As a well-wisher of the PM, I can only express that he is lucky that this jolt has come early in his tenure. He must use it as a window of opportunity to seriously reflect upon several leadership and governance issues and take corrective action if he wants to retain the trust of the people.
The PM must start by asking himself how many promises he has kept to the people of India, and must remain in communication with the common man regarding their progress. He must empower his ministers to update the people regarding them regularly, particularly promises that touch their lives, such as, food prices, skill development, employment, agriculture reform.
I wonder if the PM is aware that in public perception, the government is being branded as being pro rich/industry, and disconnected with the poor. Do not make the same mistake of NDA 1, which did not give India's poor a single transformational programme.
The PM should start giving equal time and importance to good governance, as he does to foreign affairs. Of course, he must send the right messages in international affairs to correct the diplomatic somnolence of the previous regime. But he should also become aware that his preoccupation with foreign affairs has become a talking point, something seen as heady escapism and narcissism.
He must also know that the general atmosphere of governance has become completely PM centric — where the entire bureaucracy only works if there is a PM's announcement. Other important, regular work of several ministries is suffering, because ministers don't seem to matter, only the PM does. These are bad signs.
There is also adverse comment that the government has become completely inaccessible and impervious to public voice, that it considers criticism a hostile act, and has forgotten how to listen. "Arrogant" and "dictatorial" are two most commonly used words for describing the government. Let the PM know these perceptions and change his lifestyle and work style to overcome them, while he still has the opportunity.
Lastly, let me mention another misfeasance that contributed to the humiliation of the BJP, and of course its chief executive — the virtual frustration of the Prime Minister's solemn promise to the people of bringing back our stolen wealth stashed in foreign banks. The previous government was only shielding the criminals. But important and favoured BJP leaders occupying crucial positions of power continue to imitate Chidambaram's tactics, whose correspondence with the German government only reveals that he did not want any disclosures from the Germans. Under pressure of the Supreme Court judgment and Transparency International, India, he reluctantly made some pretence of effort. But his correspondence reveals that he only wanted the names not of the real criminals, but of small offenders who were liable by the laws of more than one country to pay income tax on the same income.
The present Finance Minister has gone one step further. He has admitted before Parliament that he has been using the Amended Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement, and no wonder he gets nothing. This Amendment was brought about by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in mid 2011. It prevents India from invoking the UN Convention Against Corruption and has only prospective effect.
Amit Shah made a shocking statement during the Delhi election, that treaties with foreign governments are great hurdles for retrieving black money abroad, and scoffed that the PM's promise was just an election "jumla" (gimmick). Questions are being raised as to how the PM is tolerating this impertinence that is harming him the most. I have written to Amit Shah my protest and expression of contempt, and the fight in the Supreme Court will intensify.
Mr Prime Minister, as an elder and well wisher, who has striven in several ways during the last few years to see you reach your present position, I urge you to reflect seriously upon where you stand with the nation and its people today. The people of India have imposed great trust in you to give them a better life and the nation greater progress. Let it not be frittered away through ill-meaning advisers and sycophants, whose only intention is to weaken and mislead the ruler and separate him from reality. The sooner you identify and discard them the better, otherwise, their stranglehold only grows.
Meanwhile, a crown of thorns awaits Kejriwal. Delhi waits to see whether he will legislate and not agitate, whether he will compose and not oppose. Let his self-confessed anarchism transform into constitutionalism, and let not his 67 swallow him. I personally would appreciate, even now, if he disowns what I have asked him to.

Q: PHP - prevent users from accessing the files of other users- just tell me what are steps please? I have searched for this subject and I cannot find the answer.
I am developing a software in PHP.
In this software, the user logs in and uploads files. After that they can logout. My question is:
how can I prevent other users from accessing the files of another user?
I use sessions for login users.
example:
user a logs in. php set session for this user. user a uploads a file, PHP moves the file to a specific folder. user a logouts.
user b logs in. php sets session for this user. user b can't access the files that user a uploads.

A: instead of storing files in a public area like "http:\\www.domain.com\somefolder\afile.jpg" you have to save them in a protected place which only is readable by the server, then to presenting files to any client, you need a Gate that validates users, gets requested file name and users sessions, then give them a copy of file with a temporary address.

A: Create a table for uploaded files with the column of the uploader, like the following
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS files (
    filename VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
    uploader VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL
)

after user login you get the username from the $_SESSION query the db with something like
SELECT * FROM files WHERE uploader = $username


The scientific development of elementary Quantum Theory will be described, relying on original publications of the major contributors and letters during the same period of time. Recollections from later times are omitted intentionally. Years or decades past have the inevitable tendency to blur and often embellish the glorious past; it is attempted to avoid these effects. The main emphasis will be on physical concepts and ideas; mathematical formulae will be kept to a strict minimum, essential for the understanding. It will be stressed that mathematical representations are interchangeable, the physical content may be described in many different ways.

Facebook Monthly Visitors More than Double MySpace, Twitter Combined
Analytics, Automated & MarTech | Brand Metrics | Creative & Formats | Data-driven | Media & Entertainment | Promotions, Coupons & Co-op | Retail & E-Commerce | Social Media | Technology
As of May 2011, the number of unique US visitors to Facebook.com was roughly 2.5 times the combined number of unique visitors to MySpace and Twitter.com, according to a July 2011 white paper from comScore. Data from "The Power of Like" indicates in May 2011, Facebook had almost 160 million unique US visitors, while MySpace has a little less than 40 million and Twitter had a little more than 20 million.
Facebook, Twitter Show Dramatic 4-Year Growth
In June 2007, Facebook recorded a little more than 20 million unique US visitors, meaning that total has increased roughly eight times in the past four years. With virtually no unique visitors in June 2007 (it initially launched in March 2006), Twitter's growth is hard to even put a number on.
In contrast, MySpace received roughly 70 million unique visitors in June 2007, meaning it has lost more than 40% of that total in the past four years.
Facebook Homepage Draws Most Interest
Within Facebook, the largest portion of users' time is spent on the individual's homepage which features the newsfeed. In May 2011, 27% of engagement on Facebook.com occurred on the homepage and nwsfeed, followed by profile viewing (21%), photo viewing (17%) and usage of apps and tools (10%) The remaining 25% of user time is spent on all other areas of the site.
Friends of Fans Offer Branding Opportunity
Reaching fans with marketing messages is certainly of interest to brands, but comScore research has found that the Facebook friends of fans represent a substantial potential audience, often well beyond the scale of fans alone.
A Facebook analysis of the top 100 brand pages suggests that for every fan, there are an additional 34 friends of fans that can be reached (with significant variance among brands). This multiplier grows even larger as we look beyond the top 100 brand pages (81x on average among the top 1,000 fan pages).
Branded Content Reach Grows Exponentially
Facebook analysis suggests that each incremental day of publishing branded content from the Facebook Page increases the reach among Fans by approximately 2.5%. Thus, a piece of branded Facebook content which averages about 7-8% reach on the first day of publication exceeds 20% reach by the seventh day it is published.
IgnitionOne: Facebook Ad Spend Grows
Spending on and impressions of Facebook ads both grew dramatically between Q2 2010 and Q2 2011, according to data from IgnitionOne. Results of the Q2 2011 US Online Advertising Report show that Facebook ad spend on all clients increased 281% year-over-year in Q2, while Facebook ad impressions of all clients grew 200%. IgnitionOne analysis indicates Facebook advertising has experienced high rates of growth due to new marketer adoption in the past year.
About the Data: Data in this paper was collected and analyzed using the comScore Social EssentialsTM product, which is a measurement service based on comScore's proprietary 2 million person global panel of Internet users from a home or work computer (note: mobile-based Internet browsing is not included in this analysis). Opt-in panelists provide comScore with explicit permission to passively observe their online behavior, including site visitation, search activity, advertising exposure, and online purchases

Sechestrați în larg (în ) este un film de acțiune american din 1992, regizat de Andrew Davis. În rolul principale se află Steven Seagal; el interpretează un fost membru al trupelor Navy SEAL care trebuie să oprească un grup de mercenari, condus de Tommy Lee Jones și Gary Busey, să pună mâna pe o navă de luptă a U.S. Navy. A fost cel mai de succes film al lui Seagal din punct de vedere critic și financiar, având parte de două nominalizări la Premiul Oscar.

Sechestrați în larg a fost urmat de o continuare în 1995, intitulată Sechestrați în tren.

Filmul a primind un rating R din partea MPAA, din cauza violenței, a limbajului și a unei secvențe scurte de nuditate.

Rezumat
La începutul filmului, cuirasatul american  ajunge la Pearl Harbor, unde președintele George H. W. Bush ține un discurs anunțând că după o lungă perioadă de serviciu a navei Missouri, ea va fi retrasă din activitate în California, următorul său voiaj fiind și ultimul. Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal), bucătarul de pe vapor, pregătește masa de sărbătoare pentru aniversarea zilei de naștere a căpitanului Adams (Patrick O'Neal) și se opune ordinelor ofițerului secund, comandorul Krill (Gary Busey), care urma să aducă alimente și o trupă de artiști din Hawaii cu un elicopter, după ce nava se afla în largul mării. Krill provoacă o încăierare în bucătărie, iar Ryback îl lovește pe comandor. Neputând să-l închidă în celulă, fără acordul căpitanului sau fără a atrage atenția, Krill îl închide pe Ryback într-un congelator și plasează un pușcaș marin de pază pentru a împiedica evadarea bucătarului de acolo. Un elicopter CH-46 aterizează pe puntea navei, cu o trupă muzicală numită "Bad Billy and the Bail Jumpers", împreună cu Playmate-ul "Miss Iulie '89" al revistei Playboy, Jordan Tate (Erika Eleniak), și un grup de specialiști în catering. Cei din elicopter, cu excepția fetei din Playboy, fac parte dintr-o bandă de mercenari condusă de fostul agent CIA, Bill Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones). La scurt timp după începerea petrecerii, Strannix, dându-se drept liderul trupei, scoate un pistol și îl ucide pe comandorul Green (cel mai înalt în grad ofițer din cameră). Apoi, angajații firmei de catering și membrii trupei muzicale scot armele și preiau controlul navei cu ajutorul comandorului Krill (care se dovedește a fi un agent dublu). Mai mulți ofițeri sunt uciși în timpul prelurării controlului asupra navei, inclusiv căpitanul Adams, care este împușcat mortal de Krill. Restul echipajului este închis sub punte, cu excepția câtorva marinari rătăciți în zonele securizate.

Strannix intenționează să fure arsenalul de rachete nucleare Tomahawk de pe navă și plănuiește să vândă armele nucleare pe piața neagră, descărcându-le pe un submarin pe care-l furase din Coreea de Nord în timpul ultimei sale misiuni pentru CIA și apoi îl păstrase atunci când CIA a încercat să-l asasineze, folosindu-l pentru comercializarea de arme. Strannix și oamenii lui preiau controlul asupra sistemelor de apărare ale navei, doborând un avion F/A-18 Hornet trimis în cercetare și plănuiesc să lanseze o rachetă către Honolulu, care va distruge sistemele de urmărire de la Pearl Harbor.

Ryback a devenit suspicios după ce a auzit focuri de armă și i-a spus pușcașului marin, soldatul Nash (Tom Wood), să ia legătură cu puntea navei. Krill își dă seama enervat că l-a uitat pe Ryback în congelator, iar bucătăria era o zonă nesecurizată a navei. El îl minte pe soldatul Nash că zgomotele auzite nu au fost focuri de armă, dar Strannix trimite doi mercenari pentru a-i elimina pe Ryback și Nash. Nash este ucis, dar Ryback scapă și ucide un terorist cu un cutit și pune o bombă în cuptorul cu microunde, ucigându-i pe ceilalți. El provoacă haos în rândul urmăritorilor și începe să-i ucidă pe teroriști cu ajutorul limitat al stripteuzei Jordan Tate, care fusese angajată doar ca o acoperire pentru festivități. Ryback intră în contact cu amiralul Bates (Andy Romano), la Pentagon, cu ajutorul unui telefon prin satelit, după care Marina face un plan pentru a trimite o echipă SEAL să preia nava. Krill descoperă că Ryback este de fapt un ofițer SEAL, antrenat în folosirea armamentului de pe navă și în combaterea terorismului. El fusese retrogradat pentru lovirea unui ofițer superior care era responsabil pentru uciderea oamenilor lui într-o misiune de comando din timpul invaziei Statelor Unite în Panama. Ca urmare, el și-a pierdut funcția și a fost doar posibilitatea de a servi ca marinar simplu sauca bucătar. Pentru a-și menține planul, Krill decide pentru să activeze sistemul de apărare antiaeriană al navei, lăsând pe membrii echipajului să se înece pentru ca teroriștii să organizeze o ambuscadă atunci când Ryback va ajunge pentru a-i salva. Cu toate acestea, Ryback localizează un grup de marinari ascunși și, împreună cu ei, angajează cu succes o luptă, salvând echipajul și eliminând un număr considerabil de teroriști de-ai lui Strannix. Pe măsură ce oamenii lui Strannix se regrupează, Ryback închide sistemele de arme ale Missouri, în scopul de a permite echipei Navy SEAL să aterizeze.

Pe măsură ce lupta pentru controlul navei continuă, echipajul de pe submarin doboară elicopterul CH-46 care aducea echipa Navy SEAL team și escorta AH-1 Cobra prin lansarea de rachete sol-aer. Pentagonul răspunde prin ordonarea unui atac aerian, care ar urma să scufunde nava Missouri și pe toți oamenii aflați la bord. Strannix recapătă controlul asupra sistemelor de apărare ale navei și descarcă rachetele Tomahawk pe submarinul nord-coreean, care pleacă cu Krill la bord. Cu ajutorul lui Jordan și a colegilor săi marinari, Ryback folosește tunurile de luptă, care nu erau încă scoase din uz, pentru a distruge submarinul în care se afla Krill, omorându-i pe toți oamenii de labordul său.

Strannix, rămas în picioare pe punte, ordonă mercenarilor rămași să iasă din camera de control și lansează două rachete Tomahawk către Honolulu. Una dintre cele două rachete este distrusă de un avion F/A-18 Horne, dar cealaltă își continuă traseul. Pe măsură ce marinarii reiau controlul asupra nevei, ucigând ultimul grup de oameni al lui Strannix, Ryback ajunge în camera de control unde este suprins și capturat de Strannix. Strannix și Ryback își dau seama că ei se cunosc din operațiunile anterioare, dar Ryback îl supără pe terorist, care lasa garda jos pentru o secundă. Ryback și Strannix se angajeze apoi într-o luptă pentru un cuțit, iar bucătarul îl ucide Strannix înjunghiindu-l în cap cu cuțitul, și lovindu-l apoi de monitorul computerului. Ryback ia apoi codurile de control ale rachetei și distruge racheta Tomahawk. Celelalte rachete sunt dezactivate, iar Pentagonul recheamă echipa de asalt aerian asupra navei Missouri.

La final, membrii rămași ai echipajului sunt eliberați iar nava navighează spre portul San Francisco. Ryback o sărută pe Jordan Tate în timp ce echipajul se uită la ei. Filmul se încheie cu o ceremonie funerară pentru căpitanul Adams care are loc pe puntea navei Missouri, iar Ryback salută, îmbrăcat în uniforma lui albastră de ofițer SEAL, cu însemne de parașutist naval și cu panglici care indică decorațiile sale anterioare pentru eroism.

What Would Nature Do? A Guide for Our Uncertain Times
By Ruth DeFries, Co-Founding Dean of the Columbia Climate School and Denning Family Professor of Sustainable Development
What Would Nature Do? was published by Columbia University Press in 2020 and went to paperback in June 2022.
Not long ago, the future seemed predictable. Now, certainty about the course of civilization has given way to fear and doubt. Raging fires, ravaging storms, political upheavals, financial collapse, and deadly pandemics lie ahead—or are already here. The world feels less comprehensible and more dangerous, and no one, from individuals to businesses and governments, knows how to navigate the path forward.
Ruth DeFries argues that a surprising set of time-tested strategies from the natural world can help humanity weather these crises. Through trial and error over the eons, life has evolved astonishing and counterintuitive tricks in order to survive. DeFries details how a handful of fundamental strategies — investments in diversity, redundancy over efficiency, self-correcting feedbacks, and decisions based on bottom-up knowledge — enable life to persist through unpredictable, sudden shocks. Lessons for supply chains from a leaf's intricate network of veins and stock market-saving "circuit breakers" patterned on planetary cycles reveal the power of these approaches for modern life. With humility and willingness to apply nature's experience to our human-constructed world, DeFries demonstrates, we can withstand uncertain and perilous times. Exploring the lessons that life on Earth can teach us about coping with complexity, What Would Nature Do? offers timely options for civilization to reorganize for a safe and prosperous future.

Investing in the Era of Climate Change
By Bruce Usher, Columbia Climate School Faculty Member and Co-Director of the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School
Investing in the Era of Climate Change was published by Columbia University Press in October 2022.
A climate catastrophe can be avoided, but only with a rapid and sustained investment in companies and projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To the surprise of many, this has already begun. Investors are abandoning fossil-fuel companies and other polluting industries and financing businesses offering climate solutions. Rising risks, evolving social norms, government policies, and technological innovation are all accelerating this movement of capital.
Bruce Usher offers an indispensable guide to the risks and opportunities for investors as the world faces climate change. He explores the role that investment plays in reducing emissions to net zero by 2050, detailing how to finance the winners and avoid the losers in a transforming global economy. Usher argues that careful examination of climate solutions will offer investors a new and necessary lens on the future for their own financial benefit and for the greater good. Companies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions will create great wealth, and, more importantly, they will provide a lifeline for humanity.
Grounded in academic and industry research, Usher's insights bring clarity to a complex and controversial topic while illuminating the people behind the numbers. This book sets out a practical and actionable plan for investors that will alter the course of climate change.
Rethinking Education for Sustainable Development
Edited by Radhika Iyengar and Ozge Karadag Caman of the Center for Sustainable Development at the Columbia Climate School
The anthology also includes chapters by Columbia Climate School scholars at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the National Center for Disaster Preparedness, and the International Research Institute for Climate and Society.
Rethinking Education for Sustainable Development was published by Bloomsbury Academic in November 2022.
This book explores how education can be used as a tool to promote sustainability practices as the world faces huge challenges related to climate change and public health. The chapters consider all types of literacy approaches that fall under the umbrella of education for sustainable development (ESD). These approaches include scientific literacy, ecological literacy, health literacy, education on climate change and climate resilience, environmental education and others linking education, global health, and the environment more broadly. "Education" is used in the widest sense to incorporate non-formal, informal and formal/school settings. This volume will help to bring together these interconnected areas and interrogate their research methods, assumptions, field-based application and their policy potential.
Taking a critical approach to ESD, the book suggests new pedagogies, tools, and technologies to strengthen the way we educate about sustainability issues and go beyond the current thinking about ESD. The book includes a foreword by Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University.

Climate Change Adaptation: An Earth Institute Sustainability Primer
By Lisa Dale, Lecturer at Columbia Climate School
Climate Change Adaptation was published by Columbia University Press in July 2022.
Climate change policy has typically emphasized mitigation, calling for reducing emissions and shifting away from fossil fuels. Yet while these efforts have floundered, floods, wildfires, droughts, and other disasters are becoming more frequent and potent. As the risks escalate, we must ask how to adapt to a changing climate. How might farmers modify their practices to maximize food security? Can coastal cities protect their infrastructure from rising seas? Are there strategic ways for developing countries to combine climate resilience with economic growth and poverty reduction? For people and societies around the world, these questions are not theoretical: adaptation is already underway.
This book offers a concise overview of climate adaptation governance. In clear, accessible language, Lisa Dale describes key strategies that governments, communities, and the private sector are now deploying. She presents the theory and practice that underlie climate adaptation efforts at local and global scales, providing illuminating case studies that foreground the problems facing developing countries. Dale analyzes the effectiveness of a range of policy interventions, drawing out principles of good governance and discussing how practitioners can navigate complex tradeoffs. She emphasizes equity and inclusion, considering how climate adaptation policy can account for the needs of historically disadvantaged groups. Written for a wide audience, this book is an invaluable introduction for all readers interested in how societies can meet the challenges of an altered climate.

Greenhouse Planet: How Rising CO2 Changes Plants and Life as We Know It
By Lewis Ziska, Associate Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center
Greenhouse Planet was published by Columbia University Press in September 2022.
The carbon dioxide that industrial civilization spews into the atmosphere has dramatic consequences for life on Earth that extend beyond climate change. CO2 levels directly affect plant growth, in turn affecting any kind of life that depends on plants—in other words, everything.
Greenhouse Planet reveals the stakes of increased CO2 for plants, people, and ecosystems—from crop yields to seasonal allergies and from wildfires to biodiversity. The veteran plant biologist Lewis H. Ziska describes the importance of plants for food, medicine, and culture and explores the complex ways higher CO2 concentrations alter the systems on which humanity relies. He explains the science of how increased CO2 affects various plant species and addresses the politicization and disinformation surrounding these facts.
Ziska confronts the claim that "CO2 is plant food," a longtime conservative talking point. While not exactly false, it is deeply misleading. CO2 doesn't just make "good" plants grow; it makes all plants grow. It makes poison ivy more poisonous, kudzu more prolific, cheatgrass more flammable. CO2 stimulates some species more than others: weeds fare particularly well and become harder to control. Many crops grow more abundantly but also become less nutritious. And the further effects of climate change will be formidable.
Detailing essential science with wit and panache, Greenhouse Planet is an indispensable book for all readers interested in the ripple effects of increasing CO2.
The Way Out: How to Overcome Toxic Polarization
By Peter Coleman, Founding Director of the Advanced Consortium on Cooperation, Conflict, and Complexity at the Columbia Climate School
The Way Out was published by Columbia University Press in November 2022.
The partisan divide in the United States has widened to a chasm. Legislators vote along party lines and rarely cross the aisle. Political polarization is personal, too—and it is making us miserable. Surveys show that Americans have become more fearful and hateful of supporters of the opposing political party and imagine that they hold much more extreme views than they actually do. We have cordoned ourselves off: we prefer to date and marry those with similar opinions and are less willing to spend time with people on the other side. How can we loosen the grip of this toxic polarization and start working on our most pressing problems?
The Way Out offers an escape from this morass. The social psychologist Peter T. Coleman explores how conflict resolution and complexity science provide guidance for dealing with seemingly intractable political differences. Deploying the concept of attractors in dynamical systems, he explains why we are stuck in this rut as well as the unexpected ways that deeply rooted oppositions can and do change. Coleman meticulously details principles and practices for navigating and healing the difficult divides in our homes, workplaces, and communities, blending compelling personal accounts from his years of working on entrenched conflicts with lessons from leading-edge research. The Way Out is a vital and timely guide to breaking free from the cycle of mutual contempt in order to better our lives, relationships, and country.
Managing Environmental Conflict: An Earth Institute Sustainability Primer
By Joshua Fisher, Director of the Advanced Consortium on Cooperation, Conflict, and Complexity at Columbia Climate School
Managing Environmental Conflict was published by Columbia University Press in February 2022.
Conflicts frequently arise over environmental issues such as land use, natural resource management, and laws and regulation, emerging from diverging interests and values among stakeholders. This book is a primer on causes of and solutions to such conflicts. It provides a foundational overview of the theory and practice of collaborative approaches to managing environmental disputes.
Joshua D. Fisher explains the core concepts in collaborative conflict management and presents a clear, practical, and implementable framework for understanding and responding to environmental disputes. He details strategies to bring stakeholders together in pursuit of collective solutions, emphasizing ongoing processes of dialogue, analysis, action, and learning. This collaborative approach can create new opportunities for stakeholders to better understand each other and the natural world, which enables more effective and context-appropriate environmental governance. The primer examines why and how system dynamics can constrain or expand the possibility of constructive management of conflicts. It features a case study from the Amazon Basin, where local communities, extractive industry operators, conservationists, and land managers have often clashed over access to natural resources, drawing out lessons to illustrate how to adapt the conflict management framework to distinct contexts.
Managing Environmental Conflict synthesizes knowledge, methods, and practices spanning consensus building, collaborative governance, complex adaptive systems science, environmental conflict resolution, and environmental peacebuilding. Its presentation of this important and timely topic will be invaluable for academics and practitioners alike, including decision makers, scientists, and conflict management professionals.

Sustainable Food Production: An Earth Institute Sustainability Primer
Co-authored by Shahid Naeem, Chair of the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology at Columbia University and Director of the Earth Institute Center for Environmental Sustainability
Sustainable Food Production was published by Columbia University Press in November 2021.
Industrial agriculture is responsible for widespread environmental degradation and undermines the pursuit of human well-being. With a projected global population of 10 billion by 2050, it is urgent for humanity to achieve a more sustainable approach to farming and food systems.
This concise text offers an overview of the key issues in sustainable food production for all readers interested in the ecology and environmental impacts of agriculture. It details the ecological foundations of farming and food systems, showing how knowledge from the natural and social sciences can be used to create sustainable alternatives to the industrial production methods used today. Beginning with a discussion of the role of agriculture in human development, the primer examines how twentieth-century farming methods are environmentally and socially unsustainable, contributing to global change and perpetuating inequalities. The authors explain the principles of environmental sustainability and explore how these principles can be put into practice in agrifood systems. They emphasize the importance of human well-being and insist on the centrality of social and environmental equity and justice.
Sustainable Food Production is a compelling guide to how we can improve our ability to feed each other today and preserve the ability of our planet to do so tomorrow. Appropriate for a range of courses in the natural and social sciences, it provides a comprehensive yet accessible framework for achieving agricultural sustainability in the Anthropocene.

What Is Blue Carbon and How Can It Help Fight Climate Change? Columbia Climate School Welcomes New Faculty Member Jessica Fanzo


Dental bridges are fixed appliances used to replace missing teeth for Houston area patients. At Vivid Dental in Houston, we believe that patients should seek restorative solutions for missing natural teeth as soon as possible to avoid further problems such as misalignment and shifting of the existing teeth. Dental bridges are made of porcelain as this material closely replicates the appearance of natural tooth enamel. Porcelain is also very strong and durable and can withstand the biting and chewing forces applied while patients eat. However, this does not mean that they are indestructible. They may become broken or fall off due to normal wear and tear, and should be replaced or re-bonded when necessary.
There are many reasons patients may choose dental bridges. They can help patients in maintaining the beauty and function of their smiles as well as maintain their natural facial shape. They can keep existing teeth from drifting while restoring one's ability to eat and speak. This is typically a more permanent solution than dentures but more affordable than dental implants.
Receiving a dental bridge typically requires at least two visits. After the initial consultation appointment has been completed and patients are deemed appropriate candidates for a dental bridge, the preparation begins. Local anesthetics are administered and the adjacent teeth are prepared. This requires the removal of a thin portion of enamel to ensure proper fit. Then, molds are made, which are sent to an outside dental laboratory where a ceramist will fabricate the restoration. In the meantime, a temporary bridge may be placed and worn until the next appointment.
After the bridge has been completed, patients return to the dental office for the final application. The bridge is carefully adjusted and cemented over the anchor teeth after the temporary bridge has been removed.
Once the restoration has been placed, patients will speak to their dentist about the care and attention required for maintaining their dental bridge and oral health. Patients will be instructed on how to floss under the bridge and how to care for it to ensure longevity.
