However, the application of these principles have to change slightly to accommodate for the limitations of a virtual platform. Our learnings may seem logical once they are read, however it took an on-going cycle of feedback, detailed observations, and many minor tweaks and changes to reach a point where we feel confident of designing highly effective 30 minute lessons to teach English reading skills twice a week to English Language Learners in government schools across Mumbai. We hope these lessons are useful to others considering using a virtual platform.

'Love Jihad' Tests India's Diversity
India's Kerala state is both highly developed and religiously diverse. Yet the Hindu nationalist "Love Jihad" conspiracy has found an unlikely foothold there, aided by the church, and pitting two religious minorities against each other.

Nostalgia for India's Forgotten Courtesans
Many Indians who had been influenced by Western education and Victorian mores belittled Tawaif art and culture. The British Empire, oblivious of the Indian traditions and cultural milieu, gradually began to erode the Tawaif tradition by equating courtesans to prostitutes.

The Transformative Art of Wood Toy Carvers in India's Varanasi
As for the toymakers of Varanasi, they seem to acknowledge their advantage. Carving wonders out of wood, they continue the legacy of making their wooden toys in various colors and sizes; a metaphor, perhaps, for the varying levels of hopes that continue shaping the talented community.

India's Volunteers Picked Up the Slack in the Government's COVID-19 Response. Now They're Exhausted
Since the state of India has shirked its responsibilities toward managing our public health, ordinary people have been picking up the slack by doing voluntary relief work, acting as first responders, and searching for medical equipment to make up for shortages. Our volunteer efforts feel like the only way to ensure the survival of our communities.

India's COVID Nightmare
The pandemic's second wave in India was merciless. In the first week of May, 2.7 million people were infected and 26,000 died. India's metropolises became open memorials of death and anguish, the suffering belying cracks in the invincible and messianic image of Modi, who became diminished in his darkest hour.

How the Idea of 'India' Came About
For the Mughal rulers, whose control covered much of the subcontinent, India could be imagined as something close to a unified state. However, for the millions of people beneath their rule, no sense of a "nation" or being part of "India" is evident.

Wading through the Mumbai Blues
In the three weeks of strict lockdown that ended up being extended to three months, millions of Mumbai residents watched the bare bones of the mega city being revealed.

LISTEN: Philadelphia Eagles Star Fletcher Cox Tells Police He's About to Kill Intruder on 9-1-1 Call
The Philadelphia Eagles' star defensive tackle apparently scared off a man who damaged property at Cox's South Jersey home
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox told a police dispatcher on Oct. 16 that he would kill an intruder if police didn't arrive soon enough, according to audio from a 911 call.
Cox, 28, called from inside his home in Mullica Hill, New Jersey, as shattered glass and loud banging could be heard in the background, according to the seven-minute call released Friday.
"I got someone trying to break into my house and I'm about to blow his brains out right now," Cox is heard telling the police dispatcher.
The suspect, identified as Corbyn Nyemah, eventually left before Harrison Township police arrived at Cox's house. Officers did catch up with Nyemah as he drove toward Pennsylvania, but they eventually called off the chase as Nyemah crossed the Commodore Barry Bridge.
U.S. Marshals arrested Nyemah later last week.
Nyemah's ex-girlfriend, who Cox is reportedly dating, was staying at the home at the time, according to the criminal complaint.
Nyemah allegedly texted the woman suicidal messages as well as pictures of him in possession of a firearm, and threw rocks through the window of the woman's BMW, which was parked outside Cox's house, the complaint said.
Police also said Nyemah tried to enter the garage multiple times before pulling on the front door of the home. When he was unable to get in, he allegedly threw two large rocks at the door, causing thousands of dollars in damage.
Cox then grabbed a shotgun and scared Nyemah off, according to the criminal complaint.
A blue tarp was seen covering the damaged doors outside Cox's home. Cox refused to comment on the incident when asked by reporters this week.
"I'm only here to talk about football," he said. "I'm not here to discuss my personal life. If you've got anything interesting about the Buffalo Bills and the Eagles organization, I'm willing to talk about it."

Copresence of 1,4-dioxane and quinuclidine nuclei in the design of novel muscarinic antagonists
The five muscarinic receptors are involved in many physiological functions and, therefore, the potential therapeutical applications of muscarinic agonists and antagonists are numerous. However, the high homology of the orthosteric binding sites of the different subtypes (amino acid sequence identity > 60%) makes particularly difficult the achievement of selective ligands (1). Candidates which are more likely to discriminate among subtypes are obviously antagonists because of their ability to interact with sites in the extracellular loops or with accessory residues of the receptor. In the search for novel muscarinic antagonists we opted for molecules bearing the 1,4-dioxane nucleus, which has proved to be a suitable scaffold for targeting muscarinic receptors (2). Such a scaffold, substituted in position 6 with two phenyl rings, has been linked by an oxymethylene bridge to a quinuclidine nucleus, which is present in numerous muscarinic agents as well. The presence of this nucleus has the advantage of including in the final compound a second stereogenic center, thus achieving a more selective effect, after the separation of the four enantiomers. The synthesis of the novel compounds, the characterization of their structure, and the preliminary pharmacological results will be discussed. References: 1) Eglen, R. M.

When I push F1, you can the text flicker and it wont activate but it looks like it wants to activate.
Hey guys I just tried the trainer and I'm having some random crashes a few minutes into the game. I looked back over the last few pages and tonour was asking how to check the version and then nothing else. I have the latest steam version, how do I check which version that is?
The god mode and mega ammo all seem to work, cash and no reload don't though.
Any ideas? the crashing is the main problem for me.
My game crashes when loading a new area. Not sure how to deactivate it. No deactivate option available.
u need to deactivate one option before entering or exiting an area. actually i think this is the only option that is activated and deactivated by pressing the option button. GOD MODE-OPTION 1. press option 1 again to deactivate it...then press it again to activate it.
Yeah this trainer doesn't work for me either. I have tried all 3 versions, and none of the commands generate an effect.
Too bad. Usually your cheats work for me, but not this time.
disable/uninstall all AV, firewall and other security software. right click run as admin on trainer and game. if no effect then something on your PC is blocking it. never assume that any CH trainer will work like any other. we different security templates and injection methods all the time.
Thanks PW. I shut down my Spybot and turned off Avast and now it works.

Protecting Community Interests through International Law
This book analyzes the function and role of international law in a framework of increased global governance by focusing on how 'community interests' are articulated and protected in various areas, including the global commons, and human rights and security related issues.

This book is available for free in an e-boook version.
This edited volume analyzes the function and role of international law in a framework of increased global governance by focusing on how 'community interests' are articulated and protected and how global public goods are provided in various domains. The chapters analyze the concept of 'community interests' and the adequacy and effectiveness of the institutional framework and mechanisms established under international law to protect and safeguard them.
The volume is divided into four parts and begins with a preface by Judge Bruno Simma, who has pioneered work in this area. The first part of the book addresses some general issues, such as defining community interests, examining various forms of governance at the juncture of public and private international law, and whether international law and international courts are effective in providing so-called 'public goods'.
Part II shifts the focus onto global commons and concerns, such as the accommodation and balancing of community interests under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the potential for international organisations to protect said interests through countermeasures in responses to violations of erga omnes obligations, the prevention and punishment of corruption by large corporations, and the importance of good governance of natural resources in conflict-affected regions.
Some key human rights and security-related issues are analyzed in Part III, such as the right to self-determination and prolonged occupation of Palestinian territory, foreign terrorist fighters and their return to their countries of origin, and the peasant rights movement and its exposition of diverging interests as protected under human rights law.
Part IV concludes, outlining three potential research agendas concerning collective human security, collective natural resources, and world cultural heritage.
The comprehensive impact of community interests visible today reveals a fundamental tension in contemporary international law – between the need to make international law adequately express and support what are assumed to be universally held moral beliefs and the need to make it firmly reflect its political context. This book demonstrates that international law research on the formulation and protection of community interests, combined with multi- or inter-disciplinary approaches, can provide useful insights and answers to important questions for the future of humankind.

Coventry steal points from Pirates

Ben Tyler 3rd Feb, 2020
AN ELEVEN-POINT deficit was overturned as Coventry Rugby sunk Cornish Pirates 28-23 to go fourth in the RFU Championship.
The Pirates went into the fixture against Rowland Winter's men on a six-game winning streak prior to Saturday's face-off at Butts Park Arena – a record that looked set to continue before Coventry ripped up the script with a scintillating second-half performance.
Both sides traded penalties in the opening 11 minutes, with Javier Rojas Alvarez lofting the ball between the posts either side of Rory Jennings' sixth-minute leveller.
An opening try of the game was then touched down by Callum Patterson after Cornish had crept towards the try line, followed by Rojas' conversion, on 15 minutes.
The regular scoring continued as Jennings slotted his two further penalties, albeit the only points in Coventry's favour during a sin-bin period where the visitors were two players light, to end the half with a 13-9 deficit.
Pirates' swashbuckling rugby continued to pay dividends as they extended their lead to 11 points within three minutes of the restart, this time as a result of Jack Andrew's touchdown – Rojas again the provider of the extras.
Three minutes later, the hosts were back in with a shout when Ryan Burrows made a successful break for the try line, followed by Jennings' punt over the upright to bring the score to 20-16.
Coventry's opening try breathed new life into the game, so it was little surprise when Luke Wallace followed up with his first try for the club to put the home side ahead on 58 minutes
Jennings again converted, though he was unsuccessful with his next attempt following James Martin's darting run to the line five minutes later.
With ten minutes left, Rojas gave a reminder of his threat by reducing the hosts' lead to five points with a penalty, bringing the game to a nervy finale.
As much as they tried, the Pirates were unsuccessful in their search for a levelling score, as Winter's men secured a sixth win of the campaign.
A trip to Bedford, currently in ninth, is next on the agenda for Coventry on Friday night (7.45pm).

Top Tip: Broke a small capacitor off my mobo last night!
"So there i was, dusting out my computer. I went to remove my video card and wasn't watching what I was doing and I pushed what I thougth was the video card retaining clip…turns out it was a capacitor nearby. It snapped off cleanly, leaving two exposed "pins" underneath it.
Yes, I hang my head in shame for being so careless.
However, I put everything back together, put the capacitor aside, and fired everything up. Surprisingly my computer ran stable. I even played Far Cry 2 for an hour or so before calling it a night.
Should I look into getting this capacitor professionally re-attached? I don't want to risk any sort of electrical mishap and jeopardize any of my hardware.
"he didn't say he'd replace it, he said profesisonally replace it which would be taking it to a repair place. However most repair places i know will simply take the easy way out and say one of 3 things "Problems fixed" and throw the capacitor out the window, "Your'll need a new motherboard" or they will say that the system is running fine so don't need to replace it.
"If it was a little round capacitor, it was probably electrolytic and most electrolytic caps on your mobo are involved with the on-board audio and/or video, so you are probably ok.
Otherwise it was probably a bypass capacitor, which is used to keep internal data signal transients or external radio frequency sources from causing any issues, and if you're not having any trouble just don't sweat it.

In a time of physical distancing, connecting socially across generations is more important than ever
Collective disruption to our schools, work, and play, along with a heightened awareness of what it means to worry about our close ties with others, add up to fuel for sparking a movement. Just a few days ago, most high school students were in school, looking forward to spring break, graduation, and dreaming about plans for the summer. In light of Covid-19 outbreaks across the globe, many of those plans have suddenly changed.
At the same time, older adults have found that their senior centers and social clubs have closed. Everyday public spaces, such as grocery stores, have become potentially dangerous places. Not only Covid-19, but social isolation is a major risk.
In a time of so much uncertainty and change, the mutually beneficial activities that foster connections between the old and young cannot stop now. They are more important than ever.
Connection between older and younger adults strengthens social bonds and community ties, facilitates the sharing of knowledge and wisdom, and reminds us that generational differences are often greater in theory than in practice. The MIT AgeLab helps to organize a program called OMEGA (Opportunities for Multigenerational Exchange, Growth, and Action), an initiative designed to foster multigenerational connections between high school students and older adults. But conventional thinking about intergenerational connection must change during a pandemic.
While it might not be possible to connect across generations in the usual ways, it doesn't mean those connections need to stop entirely. Instead, now can be a time for new creative measures: Individuals need to support one another and to leverage technologies to support our relationships. It is now more important than ever to live up to the "mens et manus"("mind and hand") MIT motto. Here are some ways the AgeLab is thinking about to help keep generations connected for a better life tomorrow:
Mutual aid: Neighborhood apps like Nextdoor can connect you with neighbors nearby who may be worried about the risk of exposure to the virus in public spaces. With the app, you can volunteer to run an errand, such as grocery shopping. Additionally, with so many school districts shifting over to online learning, adults can offer virtual or phone tutoring to students who may need academic support. Both of these forms of intergenerational aid offer an opportunity to check in with each other and have a conversation.
Virtual performances: Do you have a hobby or skill like playing a musical instrument, speaking a foreign language, vlogging, cooking, etc., that you could share with someone in your life? Whether live or pre-recorded, virtual performances are a great opportunity to practice your talent while sharing the live energy with others.
Informal conversations: Whether it's "old school" through the phone or live on a video chatting application, such as FaceTime, Skype, or Zoom, we can talk in real-time with others — or engage thoughtfully through social media. Consider using these formats to check in with folks, to share news or interesting information, or even to do an activity together, such as a puzzle, game, or book club discussion.
Video messages: Pre-recording digital video messages to share with people you can't visit right now is a great way to let someone know you are thinking of them. You can get really creative with these, including how they are produced, what you discuss, and how many you collect from others.
Physical distancing doesn't have to mean social disconnection, and all generations can play a key role in taking action. The movement doesn't have to stall because of Covid-19; instead, it is more important than ever.
The MIT AgeLab's OMEGA Project, sponsored by Five Star Senior Living, is an initiative designed to strengthen multigenerational relationships and spark brainstorming for student-championed programming ideas and activities that connect high school students with older adults. The 2020 OMEGA Scholarship application is now available for high school students who have led intergenerational efforts in their own communities.

Presently, only 25% of fitness to practice cases are concluded without a hearing or in private.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council has unveiled plans to change the way in which it deals with fitness to practise cases.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is drawing up plans which will see the majority of fitness to practice cases being held in private rather than in public other than in"exceptional circumstances".
The council admits that the way it currently handles fitness to practice cases at public hearings has unintentionally led to "a culture of blame and denial" and admits a change is needed.
Registrants have raised concerns about the public process especially when allegations have been found to be false or inaccurate.
Presently, only 25% of fitness to practice cases are concluded without a hearing or in private but after describing the process as "costly and time-consuming" the council have proposed plans that a hearing would only take place in "exceptional circumstances" and the majority of cases should be dealt with at a private meeting.
Last year the NMC said it was looking at legislative changes that would speed up the process if nurses and midwives accepted the concerns about their practice.
The NMC said; "To ensure that registrants who are referred to us can practise safely and effectively, we should enable registrants to remediate regulatory concerns at the earliest opportunity and, if needed, reach an agreed position with us as to how the concern should be dealt with".
"We think that employers are usually in the best position to resolve concerns immediately, and we should only take regulatory action if the concern has already been raised with and investigated by the employer…unless there is an immediate risk to patient safety that we have to deal with".
The draft proposals will be discussed at an NMC council meeting next week on 28 March and, if approved, will be subject to a consultation.


A SteamVR Performance Test was launched through Valve's platform today, and then promptly pulled again; but it's still possible to download and use with a couple of tricks.
Quite why it was pulled to begin with isn't clear, as I've used these techniques to try it myself and it seems to be in working order. The performance test runs an automated segment of Valve's "mending one of the robots from Portal" VR demo.
If it's still not back up on the regular Steam store by the time you're reading this, you can try to force the download by pasting steam://install/323910 into your browser window. That worked for me on Firefox, at least.
Another method is to visit this SteamDB link and press the green 'free' button.
One of those should get SteamVR Performance Test downloading on your PC. Once there, it'll test your system for its ability to keep up a high level of VR fidelity and give you a rating score out of 10. Six and above will be required for confidence in VR performance, which basically seems to mean a reasonable modern processor combined with a 970/R9 390 card or above.

According to an analyst, if Apple had launched its own smart television, referred to by some as iTV (despite the TV company of the same name) it would have generated an extra $2.5 billion in sales in the December quarter. But it would appear that the company may have bitten off more than it can chew when it comes to finalising deals with the content providers.
Jefferies & Co analyst Peter Misek (who believes that a gesture control Apple TV is in production) claimed that an Apple television costing $1,250 would have generated $2.5 billion in sales in the December quarter, according to a Bloomberg report.
A survey by Quixel Research seems to back this theory up. That survey found that 88% of Apple customers, and 80% of all current flat-panel TV owners, in the US would be interested in buying an Apple television. That survey didn't take into consideration how much people would be willing to pay, however.
The demand appears to be for a device with the following features: wireless web connectivity (80%); access to cloud storage features (73%); and synching with other devices (67%). The least important features to this group were: 3D; voice and gesture command; touch screens and portability.
There is no doubt that there is a huge market for television sets: a TV is one of the most widely owned and used devices. The question is, can Apple really do for the television market what it did for the music industry with the iPod?
Can Apple really transform the way we consumer media on our television sets?
Can Apple reinvent the TV?
Some think that Apple can do for TV what it did for music. Before Apple introduced the iTunes music store, the music industry was suffering. Music fans had stopped purchasing music and were instead downloading pirated copies of tracks. Apple took on the pirates by offering a user-friendly way to download high-quality music via iTunes. Few would deny that Apple saved the troubled music industry.
The television industry is not in decline in the way that the music industry was, but there areas of it that are ripe for improvement.
Quixel Research found that while about 30% of those surveyed own internet-enabled smart TVs, but they rarely use this web connection. "Despite thousands of available apps, digital content is only being streamed by 50% of these owners, on a daily or weekly basis, and more than 80% said that this content was being used just for playing movies," according to the company.
However, one reason why consumers are not using their televisions to their full potential may be the state of their broadband connection.
A Wall Street Journal report suggests that "lagging investment in fixed broadband, rather than the failure of Steve Jobs to 'solve' TV, is the real thing propping up the existing TV model." In other words, the current model for television delivery hasn't changed because the infrastructure doesn't exist to support it, not because Apple hasn't launched its own smart television.
Once broadband is sorted, "expect the TV and broadband businesses both to reorganize themselves almost overnight, writes the Wall Street Journal.
However, according to that WSJ report, Apple may be out of the equation when the TV and broadcast business reorganizes itself.
"Television is about to demonstrate the inadequacy of Apple's own business model," writes Wall Street Journal.
"This battle is nothing like Apple's previous forays into the music and mobile phone spheres", writes Bloomberg in a similar report.
The mistake appears to be looking at Apple as the best placed company to create the solution that delivers content to our living rooms, while ignoring Apple's penchant for delivering solutions that are closed, proprietary, only working with their own hardware and software.
Bloomberg observes that to win the television market, Apple, and anyone else looking to reinvent the delivery of content to television: "Must first strike deals with media companies or cable providers who have little incentive to cede valuable revenue streams".
To illustrate how difficult this negation process is, Bloomberg notes that Apple hasn't been successful at striking such deals in the past: CBS chairman Les Moonves has revealed that he rejected different Apple TV proposals, and talks with Comcast, prior to the launch of the Apple TV, fell apart because the cable company wouldn't let Apple control the entire experience, according to a Bloomberg source.
Apple is apparently looking for a way round this, and in its most recent negotiations it has focused on cable companies that would give it access to live broadcasting without needing new content agreements, claims Bloomberg. The strategy would be for Apple to release a product that would let customers access a set of channels, paid for via a cable subscription, instead of leasing a set-top box from pay-TV operators for a monthly fee, a person familiar with the discussions told Bloomberg.
RCM Capital Management's Walter Price, who met with Apple executives recently to discuss their television efforts, told Bloomberg that cable and media companies are concerned that a better-designed Apple product will undermine their business model.
BTIG analyst Rich Greenfield told Bloomberg that cable companies are also concerned about losing their link to customers in the same way Apple overhauled the relationship between wireless carriers and their customers after the iPhone debuted.
And yet, as the Apple Maps mess demonstrates, content is king, and having access to the best content is crucial.
"To maintain its position, the company [Apple] will have to focus more on giving its devices superb access to content it doesn't control and hasn't approved," writes the Wall Street Journal.
According to the Bloomberg report, Apple also would like to integrate more on-demand content for viewers to watch when they want, including older episodes of television shows, people familiar with the plans said. For that content, Apple needs to strike deals with media companies such as Time Warner, Viacom, and News Corp, writes Bloomberg.
And that's just the US: Apple would have to strike up deals with media companies around the globe, just as it did with the record labels and movie studios on iTunes.
But Apple is used to dealing with record labels and movie studios, as iTunes proves. Can it not use that experience when talking to the broadcasters, cable and satellite companies around the world?
There is an alternative to dealing with all the satellite and cable companies around the world, who are unlikely to want to relinquish control to Apple. We've previously speculated that Apple could offer an App based solution that would see people buy content directly from the production companies, rather than, for example, paying for a Sky channel with content that doesn't interest them just because they want to watch one programme.
In such a scenario the production company would be able to sell it's own programming through Apple in the form of an App that would always have the latest content.
That pitches Apple as a competitor to the cable and satellite companies, rather working with them.
Whichever solution Apple ends up adopting, Steve Jobs was confident that he has "cracked TV". But can Apple really see the success it has seen with the iPod, iPhone and now iPad.
Now the stakes are even higher and the competition tougher, writes Bloomberg.
Apple isn't the only company working in maing TV more interactive. Insider Monkey notes that Microsoft, while having no plans to manufacture an actual TV, they are positioning the Xbox console as a way to make TV more interactive. "Xbox so far has introduced motion control and partnerships with streaming video providers Netflix and Hulu," notes that report. Xbox 720 is said to be gearing up for launch in Christmas 2013.
And, even before the competition is taken into consideration, it should be noted that where the iPhone sees gross profit margins of 49% and the iPad 40%, TV manufacturers' gross margins average at around 20%, notes Insider Monkey. One reason that analysts are excited about the prospect of Apple launching a TV is that the company has so much riding on its iPhone brand from which it derives the most revenue.
But, with such small profit margins, does it make sense for Apple to build a smart TV?
Perhaps a better option is to stick to the Apple TV set top box that Apple first launched in 2007. Patents suggest that Apple is still at work developing this device, which is always referred to as a "hobby product".
A patent filing uncovered by Patently Apple, described as "Advancing Apple TV: Accessing Contextual Information" that would allow a future Apple TV set-top-box to access additional information about a TV show or movie. The Apple TV would sync up with your 'receiving device' (an iPad, iPhone, or your Mac) and deliver information about the actors. "The additional information helps to enhance the user's enjoyment of the media content," writes Apple in the patent filing.


Soldat is a Worms style multiplayer action game. It is like a 2D version of games like Counterstrike and Unreal Tournament. In single player it is pretty good, but the real fun is in multiplayer. The graphics are OK. It looks pretty good, but it's in 2D and is not very advanced. It is a popular game, so finding servers to play on should not be a problem. Overally, the game is great, I guess, the only bad thing about this game would be the grahics. But that doesn't really matter that much, when the game is so great!

At the Technische Universtität München, there had been a discussion about setting up a proper university grammar school as an analogy to a university hospital for several years. The basic aim here was to offer highly gifted grammar school students who are interested in mathematics, science and engineering the early participation in university research and teaching. Apart from the considerations at TUM, the grammar school Otto-von-Taube-Gymnasium Gauting expressed their wish of extending their remedial classes that already existed for lower and intermediate secondary levels to the upper secondary level of the grammar school.
At the TUMKolleg, 15 talented grammar school students per year are given the chance to take part in an independent secondary level track guiding them through the advanced level of grammar school to the German A-levels, the Abitur. Being taught with an extended curriculum that contains special teaching methods, the young talents get the possibility to take part in selected university courses and to be involved in research projects carried out at the TUM faculties. A key figure of the TUMKolleg is the interdisciplinary studying and researching. Therefore, the TUMKolleg is working at the interface of grammar school and university.
The first class of TUMKolleg started in 2009/10 with 14 students participating. In 2016, the seventh class took place with two parallel tracks: The TUMKolleg is part of the upper secondary level at the grammar school Otto-von-Taube-Gymnasium in Gauting as well as the Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium in Garching.
The TUM School of Education is the most recent faculty of the Technische Universität München and conducts research-based and career-oriented teacher training. The TUMKolleg is integrated in this faculty as a practical project. Thus, its conceptional progression benefits from the latest findings of educational research, especially from classroom research.
The academic support by the TUMKolleg takes place at the professorial Chair of Empirical Educational Research where data about process, validity and results of the concept are ascertained.

Q: Linux commands to fetch all files,size and path of files from all directories and subdirectories How do I use Linux commands in PHP code to fetch all files names and their size and path of files from all directories and subdirectories.
I am running a scan code. where I need to fetch the files and perform a scan. The issue is that when I run on linux server it takes too long to perform the scan. So, i thought of adding linux commands to my php script and check that if server is linux then instead of my function, those coomands can be used and hence increase increase the speed of scan.

A: Naive solution:
$files = system('find / -printf "%p %b\n"');

Explanation:

*

*$files = system(...) Will execute a specified shell command and store the output in the variable $files.

*find / -printf("%p %b\n") The find command will list all files starting from the filesystem root /. The -printf options tells find to format its output according to the specified format. The format string "%p %b\n" will cause find to output the path of the file (%p), followed by a space, followed by the size of the file in 512 byte blocks (%b), followed by a newline (\n). The -printf options also supports a %k format specifier which will print the size of the file in 1KB blocks.

Hermann Reutter (1900–1985) is all but forgotten today, but he was an important figure in German music before, during, and after World War II. He was born in Stuttgart, and spent much of his career as Rector of the city's State University for Music and the Performing Arts. As well as a teacher and composer, he was active as a Lieder accompanist, and songs in the tradition of Schumann and Brahms make up a large part of his output. The singers he accompanied included Hermann Prey and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, and their recordings of his works make up the majority of his available catalog today. But he was prolific in a variety of genres, especially orchestral music and opera, and on the strength of this disc of songs and chamber music, there are many fine works out there awaiting rediscovery.
One possible reason for Reutter's recent neglect was his relationship with the Nazis. He was a member of the party from 1933, but that didn't stop some of his music from being denounced as "degenerate," in particular his choral work Der neue Hiob, op. 37, which featured in the Düsseldorf Entartete Musik exhibition and was described by Goebbels as "horrible and unbearable." But none of this seems to have affected his career, which spanned the 20th century, as demonstrated here with works ranging from 1926 (the Violin Sonata) to 1979 (Epitaph for Ophelia).
By post-war standards, Reutter's music is conservative, but he has a distinctive voice, combining Romantic and Modernist influences. The two song cycles here, both from the war years, are in a German Romantic vein, the textures more open than Pfitzner or Reger, but otherwise of that school. The two violin works are more progressive, with the early Violin Sonata in particular showing influence from Bartók and Stravinsky. The bare, open octaves that open the work almost sound like Ligeti, although the music soon settles into a more melodic style, albeit always angular and cleanly delineated. The Dance Suite was written in 1928 to a commission from Schott (the publisher was loyal to the composer throughout his life, and remains so today). They are pedagogical piano works, but with a twist, designed to introduce young players to modern styles. So the dance movements include a "Valse Boston" and a "Shimmy." Unfortunately, the music here is surprisingly derivative, those two movements closely resembling Debussy's "Voiles" and "Golliwog's Cakewalk" respectively, and the preceding "Spanischer Tanz" almost a pastiche on Chopin.
But elsewhere the music is more distinctive. The Epitaph for Ophelia is a freely ranging discourse on grief and despair. It is written for violin and piano (arranged from a chamber orchestra accompaniment), but for much of the work the violin plays alone, and the results are intimate and elegiac. In the song cycles, too, Reutter is clearly in his element. His experience as an accompanist shows in the restrained but effective colors and textures of the piano parts, and the vocal lines are all carefully but naturally calibrated to the cadence of the words, by Rückert and Hölderlin.
Texts and translations are included, but even listeners with only a basic grasp of German are likely to pick up much of the text, such is the clarity of the settings and the elegance of the presentation. Baritone Andreas Beinhauer is ideal for this music, clear, rich, and emotive; a worthy successor to Fischer-Dieskau who previously popularized this music. Violinist Maria-Elisabeth Lott also excels, her sound tactile and immediate in the sonata, but floating and ethereal in the Epitaph. Good pianists too, although Reutter's reticence in his piano writing means that both have to make much out of often spare textures. The warm soundscape helps, in well-engineered studio recordings.
Another engaging and adventurous release, then, from the Capriccio label, and a tantalizing glimpse of a huge catalog as yet to be explored.
