Q: What is better in a foreach loop... using the & symbol or reassigning based on key? Consider the following PHP Code:
//Method 1
$array = array(1,2,3,4,5);
foreach($array as $i=>$number){
  $number++;
  $array[$i] = $number;
}
print_r($array);

//Method 2
$array = array(1,2,3,4,5);
foreach($array as &$number){
  $number++;
}
print_r($array);

Both methods accomplish the same task, one by assigning a reference and another by re-assigning based on key. I want to use good programming techniques in my work and I wonder which method is the better programming practice? Or is this one of those it doesn't really matter things?

A: As far as performance is concerned Method 2 is better, especially if you either have a large array and/or are using string keys.
While both methods use the same amount of memory the first method requires the array to be searched, even though this search is done by a index the lookup has some overhead.
Given this test script:
$array = range(1, 1000000);

$start = microtime(true);
foreach($array as $k => $v){
    $array[$k] = $v+1;
}
echo "Method 1: ".((microtime(true)-$start));

echo "\n";

$start = microtime(true);
foreach($array as $k => &$v){
    $v+=1;
}
echo "Method 2: ".((microtime(true)-$start));

The average output is
Method 1: 0.72429609298706
Method 2: 0.22671484947205

If I scale back the test to only run ten times instead of 1 million I get results like
Method 1: 3.504753112793E-5
Method 2: 1.2874603271484E-5

With string keys the performance difference is more pronounced.
So running.
$array = array();
for($x = 0; $x<1000000; $x++){
    $array["num".$x] = $x+1;
}

$start = microtime(true);
foreach($array as $k => $v){
    $array[$k] = $v+1;
}
echo "Method 1: ".((microtime(true)-$start));

echo "\n";

$start = microtime(true);
foreach($array as $k => &$v){
    $v+=1;
}
echo "Method 2: ".((microtime(true)-$start));

Yields performance like
Method 1: 0.90371179580688
Method 2: 0.2799870967865

This is because searching by string key has more overhead then the array index.
It is also worth noting that as suggested in Elias Van Ootegem's Answer to properly clean up after yourself you should unset the reference after the loop has completed.  I.e. unset($v); And the performance gains should be measured against the loss in readability.

A: There are some minor performance differences, but they aren't going to have any significant effect.
I would choose the first option for two reasons:

*

*It's more readable. This is a bit of a personal preference, but at first glance, it's not immediately obvious to me that $number++ is updating the array. By explicitly using something like $array[$i]++, it's much clearer, and less likely to cause confusion when you come back to this code in a year.

*It doesn't leave you with a dangling reference to the last item in the array. Consider this code:
$array = array(1,2,3,4,5);
foreach($array as &$number){
    $number++;
}

// ... some time later in an unrelated section of code
$number = intval("100");

// now unexpectedly, $array[4] == 100 instead of 6

A: Since the highest scoring answer states that the second method is better in every way, I feel compelled to post an answer here. True, looping by reference is more performant, but it isn't without risks/pitfalls.
Bottom line, as always: "Which is better X or Y", the only real answers you can get are:

*

*It depends on what you're after/what you're doing

*Oh, both are OK, if you know what you're doing

*X is good for Such, Y is better for So

*Don't forget about Z, and even then ...("which is better X, Y or Z" is the same question, so the same answers apply: it depends, both are ok if...)

Be that as it may, as Orangepill showed, the reference-approach offers better performance. In this case, the tradeoff one of performance vs code that is less error-prone, easier to read/maintan. In general, it's considered better to go for safer, more reliable, and more maintainable code:

'Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.' — Brian Kernighan

I guess that means the first method has to be considered best practice. But that doesn't mean the second approach should be avoided at all time, so what follows here are the downsides, pitfalls and quirks that you'll have to take into account when using a reference in a foreach loop:
Scope:
For a start, PHP isn't truly block-scoped like C(++), C#, Java, Perl or (with a bit of luck) ECMAScript6... That means that the $value variable will not be unset once the loop has finished. When looping by reference, this means a reference to the last value of whatever object/array you were iterating is floating around. The phrase "an accident waiting to happen" should spring to mind.
Consider what happens to $value, and subsequently $array, in the following code:
$array = range(1,10);
foreach($array as &$value)
{
    $value++;
}
echo json_encode($array);
$value++;
echo json_encode($array);
$value = 'Some random value';
echo json_encode($array);

The output of this snippet will be:
[2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]
[2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12]
[2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,"Some random value"]

In other words, by reusing the $value variable (which references the last element in the array), you're actually manipulating the array itself. This makes for error-prone code, and difficult debugging. As opposed to:
$array = range(1,10);
$array[] = 'foobar';
foreach($array as $k => $v)
{
    $array[$k]++;//increments foobar, to foobas!
    if ($array[$k] === ($v +1))//$v + 1 yields 1 if $v === 'foobar'
    {//so 'foobas' === 1 => false
        $array[$k] = $v;//restore initial value: foobar
    }
}

Maintainability/idiot-proofness:
Of course, you might say that the dangling reference is an easy fix, and you'd be right:
foreach($array as &$value)
{
    $value++;
}
unset($value);

But after you've written your first 100 loops with references, do you honestly believe you won't have forgotten to unset a single reference? Of course not! It's so uncommon to unset variables that have been used in a loop (we assume the GC will take care of it for us), so most of the time, you don't bother. When references are involved, this is a source of frustration, mysterious bug-reports, or traveling values, where you're using complex nested loops, possibly with multiple references... The horror, the horror.
Besides, as time passes, who's to say that the next person working on your code won't foget about unset? Who knows, he might not even know about references, or see your numerous unset calls and deem them redundant, a sign of your being paranoid, and delete them all together. Comments alone won't help you: they need to be read, and everyone working with your code should be thoroughly briefed, perhaps have them read a full article on the subject. The examples listed in the linked article are bad, but I've seen worse, still:
foreach($nestedArr as &$array)
{
    if (count($array)%2 === 0)
    {
        foreach($array as &$value)
        {//pointless, but you get the idea...
            $value = array($value, 'Part of even-length array');
        }
        //$value now references the last index of $array
    }
    else
    {
        $value = array_pop($array);//assigns new value to var that might be a reference!
        $value = is_numeric($value) ? $value/2 : null;
        array_push($array, $value);//congrats, X-references ==> traveling value!
    }
}

This is a simple example of a traveling value problem. I did not make this up, BTW, I've come across code that boils down to this... honestly. Quite apart from spotting the bug, and understanding the code (which has been made more difficult by the references), it's still quite obvious in this example, mainly because it's a mere 15 lines long, even using the spacious Allman coding style... Now imagine this basic construct being used in code that actually does something even slightly more complex, and meaningful. Good luck debugging that.
side-effects:
It's often said that functions shouldn't have side-effects, because side-effects are (rightfully) considered to be code-smell. Though foreach is a language construct, and not a function, in your example, the same mindset should apply. When using too many references, you're being too clever for your own good, and might find yourself having to step through a loop, just to know what is being referenced by what variable, and when.
The first method hasn't got this problem: you have the key, so you know where you are in the array. What's more, with the first method, you can perform any number of operations on the value, without changing the original value in the array (no side-effects):
function recursiveFunc($n, $max = 10)
{
    if (--$max)
    {
        return $n === 1 ? 10-$max : recursiveFunc($n%2 ? ($n*3)+1 : $n/2, $max);
    }
    return null;
}
$array = range(10,20);
foreach($array as $k => $v)
{
    $v = recursiveFunc($v);//reassigning $v here
    if ($v !== null)
    {
        $array[$k] = $v;//only now, will the actual array change
    }
}
echo json_encode($array);

This generates the output:
[7,11,12,13,14,15,5,17,18,19,8]

As you can see, the first, seventh and tenth elements have been altered, the others haven't. If we were to rewrite this code using a loop by reference, the loop looks a lot smaller, but the output will be different (we have a side-effect):
$array = range(10,20);
foreach($array as &$v)
{
    $v = recursiveFunc($v);//Changes the original array...
    //granted, if your version permits it, you'd probably do:
    $v = recursiveFunc($v) ?: $v;
}
echo json_encode($array);
//[7,null,null,null,null,null,5,null,null,null,8]

To counter this, we'll either have to create a temporary variable, or call the function tiwce, or add a key, and recalculate the initial value of $v, but that's just plain stupid (that's adding complexity to fix what shouldn't be broken):
foreach($array as &$v)
{
    $temp = recursiveFunc($v);//creating copy here, anyway
    $v = $temp ? $temp : $v;//assignment doesn't require the lookup, though
}
//or:
foreach($array as &$v)
{
    $v = recursiveFunc($v) ? recursiveFunc($v) : $v;//2 calls === twice the overhead!
}
//or
$base = reset($array);//get the base value
foreach($array as $k => &$v)
{//silly combine both methods to fix what needn't be a problem to begin with
    $v = recursiveFunc($v);
    if ($v === 0)
    {
        $v = $base + $k;
    }
}

Anyway, adding branches, temp variables and what have you, rather defeats the point. For one, it introduces extra overhead which will eat away at the performance benefits references gave you in the first place.
If you have to add logic to a loop, to fix something that shouldn't need fixing, you should step back, and think about what tools you're using. 9/10 times, you chose the wrong tool for the job.
The last thing that, to me at least, is a compelling argument for the first method is simple: readability. The reference-operator (&) is easily overlooked if you're doing some quick fixes, or try to add functionality. You could be creating bugs in the code that was working just fine. What's more: because it was working fine, you might not test the existing functionality as thoroughly because there were no known issues.
Discovering a bug that went into production, because of your overlooking an operator might sound silly, but you wouldn't be the first to have encountered this.
Note:
Passing by reference at call-time has been removed since 5.4. Be weary of features/functionality that is subject to changes. a standard iteration of an array hasn't changed in years. I guess it's what you could call "proven technology". It does what it says on the tin, and is the safer way of doing things. So what if it's slower? If speed is an issue, you can optimize your code, and introduce references to your loops then.
When writing new code, go for the easy-to-read, most failsafe option. Optimization can (and indeed should) wait until everything's tried and tested.
And as always: premature optimization is the root of all evil. And Choose the right tool for the job, not because it's new and shiny.

A: I guess that depends.  Do you care more about code readability/maintainability or minimizing memory usage.  The second method would use slightly less memory, but I would honestly prefere the first usage, as assigned by reference in foreach definition does not seem to be commonplace practice in PHP.
Personally if I wanted to modify an array in place like this I would go with a third option:
array_walk($array, function(&$value) {
    $value++;
});

A: The first method will be insignificantly slower, because each time it will go through the loop, it will assign a new value to the $number variable. The second method uses the variable directly so it doesn't need to assign a new value for each loop.
But, as I said, the difference is not significant, the main thing to consider is readability.
In my opinion, the first method makes more sense when you don't need to modify the value in the loop, the $number variable would only be read.
The second method makes more sense when you need to modify the $number variable often, as you don't need to repeat the key each time you want to modify it, and it is more readable.

A: Have you considered array_map? It is designed to change values inside arrays.
$array = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$new = array_map(function($number){
  return $number++ ;
}, $array) ;
var_dump($new) ;

A: I'd choose #2, but it's a personal preference.
I disagree with the other answers, using references to array items in foreach loops is quite common, but it depends on the framework you're using. As always, try to follow existing coding conventions in your project or framework.
I also disagree with the other answers that suggest array_map or array_walk. These introduce the overhead of a function call for each array element. For small arrays, this won't be significant, but for large arrays, this will add a significant overhead for such a simple function. However, they are appropriate if you're performing more significant calculations or actions - you'll need to decide which to use depending on the scenario, perhaps by benchmarking.

A: Most of the answers interpreted your question to be about performance.
This is not what you asked. What you asked is:

I wonder which method is the better programming practice?

As you said, both do the same thing. Both work. In the end, better is often a matter of opinion.

Or is this one of those it doesn't really matter things?

I wouldn't go so far as to say it doesn't matter. As you can see there can be performance considerations for Method 1 and reference gotchas for Method 2.
I can say what matters more is readability and consistency. While there are dozens of ways to increment array elements in PHP, some look like line noise or code golf.
Ensuring your code is readable to future developers and you consistently apply your method of solving problems is a far better macro programming practice than whatever micro differences exist in this foreach code.

SSO is an authentication and session facility that enables the user of a system to log in using one set of credentials to access multiple applications.
The DeskAlerts development team has worked hard to deliver this capability to the system, with the new SSO function properly integrating with the Active Directory. The team knows that clients wanted proper Active Directory integration as well as the ability to assign publishers from Active Directory Groups without a need to create them.
Previously, many users found the DeskAlerts SSO to be inconvenient as it required the user to create a publisher account using a user name and password from the Active Directory, and then edit a configuration in order to make it work.
The new SSO only has one pre-requirement in order to use it, and that is enabling roles and features on the server (Basic Authorization and URL Authorization).
Once this has been done, you can start using the new SSO.
After you have installed DeskAlerts to your system, log in to your dashboard. From there you need to select "System Configuration" then "SSO Group" options and check the tab that says "SSO Enabled".
Next you need to make sure that you have an Active Directory listing to work with, so you need to synchronize the groups and organizational units (OUs) you want to include.
When the Active Directory sync is complete, you need to assign Policies to Groups in the SSO listings. Then you must sync the Active Directory again, and go back to the System Configuration and find the following under SSO Group options.
To start working with the new SSO you must assign "defaultuser" policy to one of the groups and make the users in that group System Administrators. You should therefore only assign this policy carefully and only to a small or important group or organizational unit.
Now that you have assigned the first policy, you need to create your own policy and then assign it to a wider group using the new SSO interface.
To assign a policy you must click on any of the Groups or Organizational Units and then choose which policy you want to assign to it. Once this is done, users from these groups will be able to sign in to the dashboard using their Active Directory credentials and are automatically assigned and created as a publisher.
Policy interaction is a feature that allows you to have a publisher with two or more policies and they stack on each other – if the type of alert is the same.
For example, if you have one Publisher and two policies where one policy is for regular po-up alert deliveries to 10 recipients and the second policy is for pop ups to five different recipients and surveys to 20 recipients. The publisher would be able to send pop ups to the 15 recipients total from both groups but won't be able to send surveys outside the second group.

News Internet FCC Speed Test App Launched for Android and iOS
FCC Speed Test App Launched for Android and iOS
The FCC has released a speed test app, as a part of the agency's broader efforts to collect more accurate broadband speed data across the country. FCC Speed Test app works similarly to other speed-testing apps and is now available for Android and iOS.
"To close the gap between digital haves and have nots, we are working to build a comprehensive, user-friendly dataset on broadband availability," said Acting Chairwoman Rosenworvel on Monday. "Expanding the base of consumers who use the FCC Speed Test app will enable us to provide improved coverage information to the public and add to the measurement tools we're developing to show where broadband is truly available throughout the United States."
Help us to improve our understanding of #broadband deployment by downloading the @FCC's Speed Test app. The app is part of the FCC's Measuring Broadband America program that gathers crowdsourced data on US broadband network performance. #BroadbandData https://t.co/asGy17YcvV
— The FCC (@FCC) April 12, 2021
The app automatically collects and displays the data after the user clicked on the "Start testing" button. And according to FCC, this app will provide test results to the user as well as to the FCC.
"The app will also be used in the future for consumers to challenge provider-submitted maps when the Broadband Data Collection systems become available," reads a statement in a press release.
As reported by The Verge, "The FCC's current coverage maps are built from self-reported data from internet service providers like AT&T and Verizon. In doing so, the process has allowed ISPs to exaggerate their current coverage, drawing heated criticism from broadband access advocates."
Additionally, the Commission has also asked the public to fact-check ISP data by entering their address in a form if they're located in a current broadband map.
You can download FCC Speed Test app for Android here and iOS here.

CLAYTON MUSEUM OF ANCIENT HISTORY
Temporary Exhibit: The Story of the Bible
the Museum: Origin Story
Foster Stanback, collector (far left) and John Clayton (center), for whom the museum is named
The Clayton Museum of Ancient History featuring the Stanback Collection
Creation of the Clayton Museum combines the faith journey of the collector, Mr. C. Foster Stanback, the vision of his long-time friend Ramon Diaz, and a labor of love by YC alumna Amber Soderholm. The museum opened on September 12, 2015, following an 18-month-long process to create a space that would engage visitors and capture the intent of Mr. Stanback's remarkable collection. The museum is named for John Clayton, whose influence and life-long work in Christian apologetics was instrumental in Mr. Stanback's decision to become a Christian.
Ramon and Maureen Diaz (far left) with the Stanback family
Following a changed heart and a decision to follow Jesus, C. Foster Stanback began to collect ancient artifacts with ties to the Bible. He knew the collection could not prove his faith, but he found that much of the record from antiquity served to confirm that the Bible is historically accurate. With that in mind, he intentionally collected pieces that demonstrate a connection between the story of scripture and the archaeological record of the ancient near east and the Roman Empire.
After several years of collecting, Stanback decided it was time to share his passion and his collection with others. As he was considering where to give his collection, Ramon Diaz, a close friend of Stanback, visited with him about giving the collection to York College. Diaz served as the York College men's wrestling coach from 2010 until 2018. He knew that Stanback was concerned about finding a recipient who would value and preserve his collection. Mr. Stanback's desire to highlight the faith aspects of the collection was a perfect match for the college resulting in the 2014 donation of the collection and significant support that made the museum a reality.
The Stanback collection includes weaponry, armor, tools, statues, personal items, coins and more. The core of the collection is focused around the Roman soldier during the first three centuries A.D. Display items range in age from an Egyptian mace head (~3000 B.C.) to leaves from Bibles (Erasmus New Testament, 1549, and the King James Bible 1612 edition).
The Creator(S)
Kate Dibbern Fitch and Amber Soderholm, creators of the museum
The Clayton Museum of Ancient History was designed and created by Amber Soderholm, York College class of 2010. Ms. Soderholm's involvement with the museum began with an initial review of the collection in 2013. She later would serve as founding curator and museum designer for the main museum which opened in fall 2015, and an interactive space for children, the Little Kingdom, which opened in 2016.
Soderholm was assisted by artist, Kate Dibbern Fitch, who created the look and design for the facility and the exhibits.
Amber's father, Robert Soderholm was also part of the creative process, building exhibits and display cases, walls, furnishings and more. Read more about the story of creating the museum, along with an interview with Soderholm shortly before she left the Clayton Museum in December 2017.

Q. Why do you need title insurance?
A. To protect possibly the most important investment anyone will ever make - the investment in real estate. A lender goes to great lengths to minimize the risk of lending money for the purchase of real estate. First, credit is checked as an indication of the borrower's ability to repay the loan. Then, the lender seeks assurance that the quality of the title to the property to be acquired and which will be pledged as security for the loan is satisfactory. The lender does this by obtaining a loan policy of title insurance.
Q. Does the Loan Policy protect the borrower?
A. The loan policy protects the lender against loss due to unknown title defects. It also protects the lender's interest from certain matters which may exist, but may not be known at the time of the sale. But, this policy only protects the lender's interest. It does not protect the borrower. That is why a real estate purchaser needs an owner's policy, which can be issued at the same time as the loan policy, usually for a nominal one-time fee.
Q. What is the danger of loss?
A. If the lender has title insurance protection and the owner does not, what possible danger of loss exists? As an example, assume real estate was purchased for $100,000. A down payment of $20,000 is made, and a lender holds an $80,000 mortgage lien, or beneficial interest. The lender acquires title insurance protecting the lender's interest up to $80,000. But the purchaser's down payment of $20,000 is not covered. What if some matter arises affecting the past ownership of the property? The title insurance company would defend and protect the interest of the lender. The purchaser, however, would have to assume the financial burden of his or her own legal defense. If the defense is not successful, the result could be a total loss of title. The title insurance company pays the lender's loss and is entitled to take an assignment of the borrower's debt. The purchaser loses the down payment, other equity in the property that may have accumulated, and the property. And the balance on the note is still due!
Q. How can there be title defect if the title has been searched & a loan policy issued
A. Title insurance is issued after a careful examination of copies of the public records. But even the most thorough search cannot absolutely assure that no title hazards are present, despite the knowledge and experience of professional title examiners. In addition to matters shown by public records, other title problems may exist that cannot be disclosed in a search.
Q. What does title insurance protect against?
A. Here are just a few of the most common hidden risks that can cause loss of title or create an encumbrance on title:
False impersonation of the true owner of the property.
Forged deeds, releases or wills.
Undisclosed or missing heirs Instruments executed under invalid or expired power of attorney.
Mistakes in recording legal documents.
Misinterpretations of wills.
Deeds by persons of unsound mind.
Deeds by minors.
Deeds by persons supposedly single, but in fact married.
Liens for unpaid estate, inheritance, income or gift taxes.
Fraud.
Identical Names.
Clerical errors.
Q. What protection does title insurance provide against defects and hidden risks?
A. Title insurance will pay for defending against any lawsuit attacking the title as insured, and will either clear up title problems or pay the insured's losses. For a one-time premium, an owner's title insurance policy remains in effect as long as the insured, or the insured's heirs, retain an interest in the property, or have any obligations under a warranty in any conveyance of it. Owner's title insurance, issued simultaneously with a loan policy, is the best title insurance value a property owner can get.
Q. What's in a title search?
A. When someone purchases a home they hope to take possession as soon as possible. When the terms have been agreed upon and all the financial arrangements have been made, there remains one important detail. Before the transaction can close, a title search must be made. The most accurate description of title is a bundle of rights in real property. A title search is the process of determining from the public record just what these rights are and who owns them. A title search is a means of determining that the person who is selling the property really has the right to sell it, and that the buyer is getting all the rights to the property (title) that he or she is paying for. The search process can be undertaken by the title company in those jurisdictions where the company maintains offices. In some areas, however, searches are made only by practicing attorneys. However the search is performed, in most real estate transactions today a title insurance policy is purchased to assure the buyer that he or she has purchased a valid title. In those transactions where title insurance is involved, the title company must determine insurability of the title as part of the search process. This leads to the issuance of a title policy, which insures the existence or non-existence of rights to the property. The title insurance company will, at its own expense, defend the title and will pay losses within the coverage of the policy if they occur.
Q. I prefer to fax in my title order. Is that a problem?
A. Not at all. New title orders can be faxed to 865-357-7716. Our staff will call you to confirm relevant information and start processing your order immediately.
Q. Can I use Tallent Title Group, Inc. for purchases and refinances?
A. Yes, Tallent Title Group, Inc. is set up to handle both purchases and refinances.
Q. How quickly can I get my title back?
A. Our average turnaround time is 2 - 4 days, with the exception of some jurisdictions. Once you place your title order, we will let you know if the property is located in a county or region with longer search times.
Q. Can you conduct closings outside your offices?
A. Of course. Our Closing Speaclists and support staff are available for closings at the borrower's home, office or other convenient location. After hours and weekends are also offered.


This July 4th is the United States' 239th birthday, which got me thinking a little bit about our country's birth certificate – the Declaration of Independence.
Everyone knows that the Declaration is stored in Washington, D.C. in the National Archives (assuming you've all seen National Treasure). It's on display along with the Constitution and Bill of Rights under maximum security and with the latest preservation techniques.
But it hasn't always been a part of the Archives, or so well protected. And it certainly hasn't been all that stationary.
Tonight most of us in the District will be spending New Year's Eve celebrating with a watch party to see the ball drop in Times Square.
But every December 31st, there's another type of watch night gathering – one that commemorates the Emancipation Proclamation going into effect on January 1, 1863.
The very first Watch Night was held around the country on New Year's Eve 1862, by African Americans and abolitionists waiting to hear word that Abraham Lincoln had signed the Proclamation.
The night was dubbed Freedom's Eve, and witnessed the first major step toward the abolition of slavery in the United States. It also added a new significance to what had been an end-of-year religious tradition for many Protestant churches by creating a new tradition for African American churches.
This New Year's Eve, in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the National Archives is joining the festivities and staying up late.
The Archives will be open until 1 AM with the Emancipation Proclamation on display.
Today I visited the District's newly opened market – Union Market, in the Northeast quadrant off of Florida Ave.
It's a beautiful new space with a great mix of vendors so far, and a welcome addition to the District's food scene.
It might not be as well known yet as Capitol Hill's historic Eastern Market, but it has a rich history all its own.
Union Market is a descendant of what was once D.C.'s largest and most famous covered market – Center Market.
In the late 1800s, this market was truly central to the life of the city, and situated half way between the White House and the Capitol on Pennsylvania Avenue.
So how come you've probably never heard of it?
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Prince Charles's trip to the District, which included a short visit with President Obama at the White House.
This week Obama was in England returning the favor, and perhaps redeeming himself for some previous missteps in the diplomatic dance of presidential gift-giving.
Obama was criticized for his first gift to the Queen in 2009 – an iPod loaded with music, photos, and video of Her Majesty's visit to D.C. and Virginia in 2007.
This time, his present had much more sentimental and historic significance.


Children aside, this rebuke needs to be loudly directed at the profiteers of industrial agriculture. They keep toying with the very nature of food, not to benefit consumers, family farmers, workers or the environment — but to fatten the profits of Silicon Valley tech giants, food monopolist and Wall Street financiers.
Meet Recombinetics, Inc. It's a high-tech, gene-manipulation corporation with bio-engineers in its labs remaking farm animals. Pigs, for example. Recombinetics wants to mess with the very DNA of Mother Nature's oinkers to make them produce bigger litters to supply the pork factories of brand-name marketers. It is also genetically altering milk cows to withstand hotter weather, so climate change won't reduce the output of huge dairy corporations.
Of course, this corporate-government collusion to build Franken-animals faces a high hurdle in the marketplace, for consumers have shown again and again that they don't want the food they put on their family tables tampered with. The tamperers, though, have a solution to that problem: secrecy. The industry is lobbying to outlaw any requirement that milk and meat produced by genetically altered animals be labeled as such. Better to keep consumers in the dark, because… well, if given a free choice, people might reject Recombinetics in favor of natural food.
The industrializers are not out to make food better or more affordable for us, but strictly to make it more profitable for them. Rather than remaking animals and the marketplace to benefit corporations that play with our food, let's remake the corporate system so it cooperates with nature and serves the common good.

Laila Arman Memorial Scholarship keeps beloved child's legacy alive
Nick, Daniel, Suzie and Laila Arman
"There is no greater pain to the human heart that can compare to the torment of losing your child."
Those are the words of Nick Arman, Fullerton College's academic counselor in the Veterans Resource Center.
While Arman and his family can't change what happened to their much-loved, 16-month-old child, Laila Arman, they have found a way to honor her with a memorial scholarship at Brandman University, where Arman will graduate May 22 with a doctorate of education in organizational leadership.
He hopes that continuing Laila's legacy will bring joy and inspiration for the students who receive the scholarship, just as she did "for everyone who knew her since the day she was born."
The accident that took Laila's life in March happened one week before Arman was scheduled to defend his dissertation, which he did successfully.
"The entire Brandman School of Education has been deeply affected by this and the doctoral community, in particular, have provided consistent support," said Dr. Christine Zeppos, dean of the School of Education. "On a personal note, I have known thousands of students over my 22-year career … Nick is among the small handful I consider to have the greatest character and demonstration of kindness."
Arman said the outpouring of love he and his family have received is deeply appreciated and reflects his experiences throughout his doctoral journey.
"Since day one, I have only known support, received guidance and mentorship, and most importantly the sense of a family unit. The faculty truly exemplifies what leadership is, and have modeled how to lead by example," he said.
Although he and his family know they will always miss Laila, the scholarship will keep her name and memory alive, not just among family and friends, but everywhere.
"We try to live each day by starting our mornings with her love, and ending it by wishing her a good night. We are taking this pain and void in our hearts one breath at a time, until we see her again. The support we have received and continue to receive from family, friends, and members of our community, has been key to our ability to cope with the loss thus far. Although we have yet to thank each person individually, we want everyone who has touched our hearts since this tragedy to know that their friendship and support has not gone unnoticed," said Arman.
Arman, who began working as a faculty member in counseling at Fullerton College last July, plans to continue counseling students, teaching and conducting research and supporting student success in any way he can, with the ultimate goal of moving into an administrative position. He plans to obtain a California professional clinical counselor licensure (LPCC) with the goal of one day donating his time to support other parents and family members who lost young children.
Contributions to the Laila Arman Memorial Scholarship Fund may be made through iDonate and the Brandman website, www.brandman.edu/donate. At the field marked "choose your designation," select "Laila Arman Memorial Scholarship Fund."

Jamie and his problems often seemed more of an irritation than anything else. Yet he had been a good and loyal servant. Even years ago, Grenville had been surprised at how much he'd missed him, during the months of his hospitalization. And today, when he'd feared for Jamie's life...
"You told me Terrace View now has a rehab wing, for the sudden increase in drug addiction."
"I can't send him to Terrace View now. He'd think he was being punished. And he would think you were going to abandon him there."
Louisa didn't add she was sure Dr. McDevitt would make sure Jamie was never released to her custody again—he was head of the board now, she wouldn't put it past him. Phillip was up to something at Terrace View ... there had been maneuvers with the stockholders...
"If we could find a relatively stress-free environment for him, away from Hawkes Harbor, just for a while, where he wouldn't have to deal with all the memories here, it might be easier for him to cope with weaning off some of these drugs."
"Can't we just send him somewhere?"
"You know very well he couldn't bear to leave you even if you found somewhere to send him. He will have to be supervised for a while, and you're the only one who could control him. Jamie is yours, remember. I am to leave him to you."
Grenville regarded her with imperceptible amusement. She constantly wavered in attitude toward Jamie, depending on her needs; he was a friend, a slave—or their mutual child. Finally he said, "Surely, Louisa, you are not suggesting I take Jamie to Disneyland."
Louisa had a strong urge to take Grenville by the ears and shake him.
"Of course not."
"Why do you suppose Jamie remains so devoted to me? I assumed that would end when the curse was lifted."
"There is a psychological disorder known as the Stockholm syndrome. Hostages have been known to identify so strongly with their captors that they defend them. You're his only security. Jamie knows very well he's no longer able to deal with that chaos he called a life."
Grenville sat silent for a few minutes.
"Richard was saying ..." she began. His look warned her he had little interest in what his cousin had to say, but she went on. "The Collins shipping industry needed to look into passenger cruises. They are the wave of the future—you know Roger and his puns."
"No," Grenville said. "No."
"Of course he offered to go. But you could investigate for yourself. And it's not unusual for a man of your position and background to travel with a valet.
"Jamie might be weaned off the medication easier," Louisa said, examining her nails. "And he's very fond of sailing."
"No," Grenville said. "No, Louisa. No."
Grenville was at the hospital that evening at six. The doctors said Jamie would awake about then; if the tests were fine, if no liver damage threatened, he could go home.
Grenville didn't want Jamie to wake up alone in a hospital room; God knew what nightmare he'd make of it.
Jamie was starting to move slightly, mumbling in his sleep. Another bad dream, Grenville thought. Poor Jamie had so many. He still woke screaming a few times a month. If Grenville was still up, and he often was, still not used to wasting the beautiful night hours in sleep, he sometimes went in to Jamie's room and spoke quietly to him for a minute. He couldn't decide if it was touching or pathetic how the sound of his voice comforted Jamie, how swiftly he would go back to sleep.
Grenville could sympathize, having had decades of bad dreams. Being chained in a coffin—it gave you bad dreams. Then to wake to a still more horrible reality—cursed, his family long dead, Sophia Marie gone, his son, unable to use the wooden stake as promised, locking him into the coffin for eternity—and always the terrible hunger, the thirst like the most powerful pain. Slowly rage had buried every other emotion, like the strongest fledgling destroying its nest mates.
The injustice of it—other men had done so much worse at much less cost. So he reasoned then. A few words spoken in a heated moment to a native serving girl—surely they were taught, he thought, not to believe what gentlemen might say of love—how was he to know the powers her tribe possessed? He had not realized he had asked her for love, until he murdered it and saw it swiftly decay into hatred.
Grenville thought differently now. It did not matter what other men had done and had not paid for. Each case was judged alone and separate, he believed. No matter what had gone on before, what others did after and escaped unscathed ... and surely, to invite love, and then betray it was a mortal wrong ... it was his own hand that laid the curse ... his own doing ...
His thoughts went back to the night of his and Jamie's meeting. He had been almost a pure flame of hatred, that night he'd heard the ancient chains being broken, the lid opening....
How had he ever kept from killing Jamie? It was a source of wonder still.
He'd had just enough self-control to avoid a death—he'd found the jugular vein and, ravenous as he was, he was able to refrain from a kill. He knew that centuries had passed, he'd need a guide in a strange new world. And then; the quality of the blood was ghastly—tobacco, alcohol, a bitter narcotic tang; once the edge was off his hunger he was disgusted.
Surely some of his rage those early nights was partly intoxication. The shock of finding out what year it was ... and, finding the tools, next to his self-made coffin, the slow dawning of what the young man had intended...
Even at this late date, Grenville could feel a swift surge of anger. Jamie had felt his wrath that night, and for many nights after ... it was as if he'd been to blame, somehow ... the vile young wharf rat... who'd set the Monster free. Surely everything between them since had been tainted by that meeting.
On Jamie's side by terror, on Grenville's by contempt.
He remembered Sophia Marie, whose very shade had risen to reproach him. Not for being as he was, God knew it was no choice of his, but for embracing it, taking consolation in his powers...
Jamie shifted in the hospital bed, whimpering. Grenville leaned forward, ready to reassure him.
"Kellen?" Jamie called fretfully. "Kell?"
Grenville took a swift breath, and then stared at Jamie with an incurious surprise. Never, in all these years, did he dream Jamie Sommers had the power to hurt him.
"You win, Louisa," Grenville said. "If we stay cooped up in the Hall much longer I'll strangle him."
As irritating as Jamie could be before, now that Louisa had started cutting back on his medications, he was insufferable.
"He's cowering from his own shadow, jumpy as a cat, and if I so much as raise my voice to him, he starts crying. He has more energy than he's ever had, but he can't focus. As far as any work goes, he's absolutely useless."
Louisa sighed. "I think that not having access to all the drugs he thinks he needs makes him as nervous as the actual withdrawal."
She winced away from the memory of telling Jamie she was taking him off some of his medications, how he'd begged her not to, crying like a baby, finally even offering to live at Terrace View for the rest of his life.
Grenville, she remembered, had been careful to avoid that scene.
And now, Jamie was in a constant state of nervous anxiety, thinking he needed a pill whether he did nor not, as well as feeling the hellish effects of the actual physical withdrawal.
Grenville didn't have the disposition to cope with the young man's fears; Jamie knew this and it only made things worse. The last thing he needed, and Grenville admitted it, was Grenville leaving him. He would see it as desertion. It could easily cost him what was left of his sanity.
"He'll never be the same again, will he, Louisa?"
"The same?"
"I forgot, you didn't know Jamie very well or for very long before—when he first began ... working for me he was different. Quite resourceful. Almost clever in a way. And bold enough to risk ..."
Grenville's voice trailed off.
"No," Louisa said. "He'll never be the same."
They remained quiet for a moment.
Louisa decided
to take advantage of this moment of guilt.
"Well, ten days will be long enough to lose another drug— I'll send him with a limited supply. Maybe Jamie will be distracted enough to cope with it."
"And if he's not?"
"I'll send some strong sedatives with you. If he gets too bad you can just knock him out for the rest of the trip."
Grenville looked grim—hardly like a man facing a dream vacation. "This had better work, Louisa. Of all your little plots and schemes, this one had better work."
New Orleans August 1968
"Wow, I bet the crew quarters ain't like this." Jamie looked around the spacious first-class cabin. He had never seen a cabin this large on a boat, not even on the yacht on the Riviera where he'd worked as a deckhand.
"Got a private balcony and everything."
Grenville sighed. As spacious as the room was—and he had specified the largest he could get—it was still much closer quarters than the rambling Hall. He tried to imagine living here with Jamie for ten days, then dismissed the thought as unbearable.
At least Jamie was distracted from his fears. If anything, he was too distracted; it would take him hours to unpack if he remained this hyperactive.
Jamie ran back in from inspecting the small adjoining room; for children—or servants.
"I wonder what the engine room looks like. You think we could see it? I never been on a ship like this, some of the freighters were this big, but not with all these fancy decks and everything."
"Remember we're researching passenger cruises for Hawkes Enterprises—go anywhere you wish." Grenville entertained a pleasant fantasy of Jamie roaming the engine room the whole voyage. "Maybe you could investigate how things are run and report back to me."

A good, quick way to check if you need insulation in your Crystal lake Home is to look across your attic floor. If the existing insulation comes up just to the tops of the joists, then you probably need to add insulation. If you can't see the joists and the insulation is well above the tops of the joists, you're probably okay and you won't recoup the cost of adding more.


K's done an out of session Friday post. Does this mean I don't need to post today? Up is down! Down is up! Tom Hardy is hot in Dunkirk! But don't bother seeing it for his hotness! I don't know what is going on today! But I'll just say this: I know that people, including Miss Dizzy and Pickle are pretty hot for this Tom Hardy. Frankly I don't see it. According to IMDb he's in films that I've seen but I've never noticed him in those. I've just seen him in photos on the internet which do nothing for me. BUT I am the first to admit that seeing a person front and centre in a film can do a lot, A LOT for their hotness. So don't worry Tom Hardy, I'm not writing you off yet.
Check out Tom Hardy in Lawless. Cardigans!

Q: Enabling R8 causes "android.view.InflateException Error inflating class TextView" in TextView with fontFamily I'm trying to shrink/obfuscate my release build with R8 (AS 3.3) but it's crashing trying to inflate an XML file, specifically on a TextView with a fontFamily.

My font lives in a separate library module.
Font family xml file "res/font/gotham-bold.xml" in :core
<font-family xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <font
        app:fontStyle="normal"
        app:fontWeight="400"
        app:font="@font/gotham_rnd_bold"/>

    <font
        app:fontStyle="italic"
        app:fontWeight="400"
        app:font="@font/gotham_rnd_bold_italic"/>
</font-family>

And the actual font "gotham_rnd_bold.otf" is also in this :core module under "res/font/

A: I post here the reason why provided by R8 developers (from your issue) for better indexing and reference.

This happens because you are including program classes in your app
  that is already in the Android framework. The Proguard configuration
  rule -dontwarn org.xmlpull.v1.** explicitly disables these warnings
  from the compiler.
Ideally, you should not include any classes in your app that is also
  in the Android framework. You should be able to identify the
  dependency that includes org.xmlpull.* and then exclude that module
  from the dependency. It seems that others have successfully done this,
  see for example https://stackoverflow.com/a/34486112. If you manage to
  do this, then you shouldn't get any warnings even if you remove the
  rule -dontwarn org.xmlpull.v1.**.
Alternatively, you can use the rule -keep class org.xmlpull.** { *;}.
  This trick appears to be used by others
  (https://github.com/search?q=org.xmlpull.v1+extension=pro&type=Code),
  but it can be error-prone since your version of org.xmlpull.* may be
  different from the one in the Android framework.
Note that we are working on changing the behavior of R8 such that it
  deals with duplicate classes in a way such that Android framework
  classes always take precedence of program classes (b/120884788). In
  principle, none of the above changes should be needed with that fix.

A: You can set custom font programatically such as;
customText.typeface = ResourcesCompat.getFont(this,
R.font.your_font)

A New Pocket Companion for Oxford, Or Guide Through the University: With an ...
Exhibitioners; the whole number of Students amounting to about 90.
The Master and Fellows elect their Visitor, who at present is the Bishop of Durham.
ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE
is situated north of Balliol and Trinity Colleges, having a terrace with a row of lofty elms before it.
The buildings of this College chiefly consist of two large quadrangles. We enter the first by a handsome old gateway with a tower over it. It is formed by the Hall and Chapel on the north, the President's Lodgings on the east, and the chambers of the Fellows, Scholars, and other Students, on the south and west sides. The Hall is elegant, being well proportioned, and handsomely wainscotted, with a beautiful arched roof, a screen of Portland stone, and a grand variegated marble chimney-piece. It is likewise adorned with many other pictures; a whole-length portrait of the Founder; on his right hand Archbishop Laud, and on his left Archbishop Juxon; a whole-length portrait of his present Majesty, painted by Ramsay; and portraits of Bishop Mew, Bishop Buckridge, Sir William Paddy, and other eminent shi
men, who have been members of, and benefactors to, this. Society. Titian's picture of John the Baptist, formerly over the chimney-piece, is now removed to the Common Room.
The Chapel, which is adjoining to the Hall, is in all respects neat and commodious. It is divided from the Ante-chapel by a new and elegant screen, over which has been erected a very complete new Organ. It has now an elegance which results from several highly finished yet simple ornaments. The altar is of the Corinthian order, and very properly adapted. Over the communion-table is a fine piece of tapestry, representing our Saviour with the two Disciples at Emmaus, copied from a painting of Titian. The Dog snarling at the Cat under the table cannot be overlooked. Nor will the curious observer be at much loss, by the striking likenesses in the four figures, in discovering they are the then Pope, Kings of France and Spain, and Titian, in the characters of our Saviour, his Disciples, and Servant. On the north side of the choir, in a marble urn, inclosed in a silver vessel, is the heart of Dr. Richard Rawlinson, with this singular inscription; " Ubi thesaurus, " ibi cor." In this Chapel cathedral service is performed twice a day, at eight and six. In the Post-Chapel, the roof of which is of carved stone and very elegant, are three monuments of deceased Presidents; viz. of Dr. Holmes, Dr. Derham, and the late President, Dr. Dennis.
Through a passage on the east side of the first quadrangle we enter the second; on the east and west sides whereof are handsome piazzas in the Grecian taste, each column consisting of one single blueish stone, dug from a part of the College-estate near Fifield in Berkshire. In the centre of each piazza is a magnificent gateway, consisting principally of two orders. 1. The Doric, which forms the gateway itself, agreeable to that of the piazzas. 2. The Ionic, which supports a semicircular pediment. Between four of these columns, viz. two on each side, in a niche, is a brass statue; that on the east, of King Charles I. and that on the west, of his Queen, cast by Fanelli of Florence. That neither of the Greek orders might be wanting, the third, viz. the Corinthian, is very artfully introduced in the construction of the niche. The whole is richly embellished, and is the design of that celebrated architect Inigo Jones.
The Library includes the upper story of the south and east sides. The south side is well stored with printed books in all faculties, regularly disposed: the east with a most valuable collection of manuscripts; in which the bookcases adhering to the sides form a spacious gallery. Here are some valuable curiosities, viz.
the picture of King Charles I. which has the whole Book of Psalm's written in the lines of the face and on the hairs of the head; a very beautiful and singular picture of St. John, stained in a composition, called Scagliola, which has the appearance of polished marble; some curious Missals; a Chinese Dictionary; and on the east window, in elegant painted glass, are the arms of the Founder, the Company of Merchant-Taylors, and several other benefactors to the College. The fine brass eagle, which formerly stood in the Chapel, has lately been removed to this Library.
The Gardens are very extensive, and laid out with all those graces which arise from a succession of beauties, so disposed as to strike us gradually and unexpectedly. By removing a few embarrassing overgrown chesnut-trees, the aspect of this garden has been so changed, that few can at present yie with it, and the whole owes, its present beauties to the taste of the members of the Society.
This College was founded by Sir Thomas White, Alderman and Merchant-Taylor of London; who afterwards, anno 1557, endowed it with several considerable manors, and at his death bequeathed the sum of 3000l. to purchase lands to increase the revenues of it. He originally designed Merchant-Taylors' School in London as the only seminary for this College: but being of a more public spirit than to confine himself to any one place, he allowed two Fellowships to the city of Coventry, two to Bristol, two also to the town of Reading, and one to Tunbridge, together with six to the kin to the Founder.
The most considerable benefactors since have been Sir William Paddy, who founded and endowed the choir, and built that side of the new quadrangle, of which the Library is a part; Archbishop Laud, who at the expence of above 5000l. (exclusive of 4001. for the statues of the King and Queen) added the other three sides; Archbishop Juxon, who gave 7000l. to this College; Dr. Gibbons, who bequeathed the perpetual advowson of the living of Baynton in Yorkshire, and 1000l. to buy books; Dr. Holmes, formerly President, with his Lady, who gave 150001. to augment the salaries of the Oficers, and other uses; and Dr. Rawlinson, who bequeathed the reversion of an estate in fee-farm rents.
The present members are, a President, fifty Fellows, two Chaplains, an Organist, five Singing-men, six Choristers, and two Sextons: the number of Students of all sorts being usually about 80.
Visitor. The Bishop of Winchester.
