The Making of Leaders at Saïd
The University of Oxford. Saïd Business School. All eager to learn, a cohort of 51 have taken their seats in the lecture theater six.
The topics of this week are: leadership, motivation, power, leading culture, building high performance teams, leading change, and institutional complexity. The amount of reading is overwhelming, but no sweat, we are here because we are all near-experts, right? No, turns out, in the changing world, not quite.
In the CEO report, Embracing the Paradoxes of Leadership and the Power of Doubt, Professors from the Saïd Business School and Heidrick & Struggles ask 150 CEOs how do senior executives develop the competence to lead in a changing world. The CEOs seem to agree that "past experience is no longer a reliable guide for future action".
http://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/Press_Office/Docs/The-CEO-Report-Final.pdf
Very quickly it becomes obvious that it was a good investment to come here.
The professors are engaging and curious about our perspectives as much as we are curious about theirs. They patiently but firmly guide us towards the realization, that while many leaders may be successful intuitively, it is only to a point, while there is a great deal of help to gain from the academic world. The kind of help that makes intangible structured, and the unknown, if not obvious, then at least somewhat tamed.
We leave the first module humbled by each other's insights and energized by the possibilities for personal and professional growth.
See you in May, Oxford!

Police State Canada 2010 and the G20 Summit
The G20 summit will be held on June 26-27 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre preceded by the G8 summit which will take place in Huntsville, Ontario. The secretive meetings will be attended by world leaders, finance ministers, central bank governors, along with thousands of other delegates. It will be the largest security event in Canadian history exceeding the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Downtown Toronto will be turned into a security fortress with fences, barricades, checkpoints and street closures thus greatly affecting local residents. While the G8/G20 summits will attract their share of peaceful protesters, other more radical and fringe elements may try to capitalize on the event. Agent provocateurs might also be used whose actions could then justify a police crackdown and as a means to demonize all demonstrators. The G20 summit will deepen police state measures, as well as further integrate local, provincial, federal law enforcement agencies and the military.
Security for the upcoming G20 summit will be the responsibility of the Integrated Security Unit, "comprised of the RCMP, the OPP (in the G8 context), the Canadian Forces, Toronto Police Service, Peel Regional Police and other law enforcement and security experts who will work collaboratively." Ed Boltuc, a member of the G20 planning team for the Toronto Police Service stated, "The Olympics that you saw recently in Vancouver was actually the largest security event ever to take place here in Canada. The G20/G8 surpasses that completely." He went on to say, "There's going to be a massive — absolutely massive — presence of police and security on the ground like you've never seen before." The Globe and Mail reported that as many as 10,000 uniformed officers, along with a 1,000 private security guards will be deployed together with an unspecified number of Canadian soldiers. Foreign dignitaries attending the meetings will also have their own security detail. The federal government security costs are expected to top $179 million.
As part of the operation, a two fenced security perimeter will encircle the Metro Convention Centre and nearby hotels where delegates will be staying. The RCMP are entrusted with protecting the inner security zone which will be controlled by a 3-metre-high unscalable fence, as well as five levels of security screening. Toronto police will be in charge of the outer zone and will deal with any protests beyond the perimeter. Canadian Forces responsibilities involve, "large-scale operational planning, land and air surveillance, underwater safety and security for the venues and some logistic and ceremonial functions. Support also includes drawing on the CF's ongoing partnership in the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD)." Heightened security will begin two weeks before the summit. In order to gain access to the outer security zone, residents and workers will need to be registered or accredited. Designated free speech zones will also be put in place for demonstrators. Toronto Police have announced that they will be using an old movie studio as a temporary jail to house unruly protesters during the event.
The G8/G20 summits have become a platform for protests on issues such as social justice, anti-globalization and the environment. A government website section entitled Information for Demonstrators points out that freedoms of opinion, expression and peaceful assembly guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are not limitless. The Criminal Code of Canada contains provisions that limit certain activities including blocking or obstructing a highway, causing a disturbance, mischief, riots, unlawful assembly, breach of the peace and others. Some of these laws could be subjectively enforced and just as government grants you rights, they can just as easily take them away. Most protesters will probably remain peaceful, but some groups and individuals might have different ideas. In the past, police have been caught using provocateurs at rallies and activists need to be mindful of those who may attempt to infiltrate their ranks and engage in unlawful behaviour. Council of Canadians spokesman Dylan Penner wants the government to promise it will not use agents provocateurs like it did at North American Leaders Summit in Montebello, Quebec, back in 2007. In advance of G20 summit, some Toronto activists have been subjected to harassment and intimidation by police. Similar tactics were also employed in Vancouver before the Olympics.
People in Toronto are already getting a taste of what to expect during the G20 summit. A recent training exercise simulated a hostage taking in the concourse level of Commerce Court, in the downtown core of the city. The operation was comprised of Toronto Police Emergency Task Force, along with private security personnel. The joint exercise was designed to train police and security guards on how to communicate through a shared radio system. During the G20 summit, private security will play an important role in crowd control and emergency response. This is part of the continued merging of the public and private security sectors. Another training exercise involved two military helicopters flying around the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and then landing in front of the CN Tower. This was to test the capability of the landing area and practice transporting delegates to the venues site. These various security drills are intended to check coordinated responses and ultimately to confirm readiness for the summit. They are also used to further acclimate increased police and military presence.
More than anything, it is protests and the threat of terrorism which are used to justify these huge security operations. The deployment of the military alongside police is increasing with their roles seemingly interchangeable. Police tactics and training have become more militarized. New weapons and technology first developed for the military are often being incorporated into police departments. At last year's G20 summit in Pittsburgh, the LRAD which is capable of emitting painfully loud blasts of sound was turned against protesters. This illustrates a more aggressive approach in trying to control public dissent. Events such as the G20 have become a testing ground for new police state measures and a trial run for a military style occupation. In June, downtown Toronto will essentially be on lockdown with rights and liberties severely restricted.

New cars leave drivers just 21cm of room in parking spaces, dwarfing classic counterparts
Modern cars have grown so big that drivers have as little as 21cm of room to spare in a parking space, research has revealed.
The study by CarGurus, the comparison site for motorists, found that the country's most popular cars are as much as 55 per cent larger than they were in the 1970s, while the standard parking space has not grown in size.
The firm said this left drivers having to "park Houdinis" to get out of their vehicles and urged the Government to update its guidance for councils on space size to take into account the burgeoning scale of beloved cars.
Chris Knapman, UK editor of CarGurus, said: "It's understandable why cars have grown so much over the years. The dramatically improved safety standards of modern cars versus those of years gone by is an obvious benefit.
"However, as many motorists will no doubt confirm, it's disappointing that parking space guidelines haven't been updated accordingly."
The Department for Transport said it has not given guidance to councils on parking since 2016, and that this was the responsibility of the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation.
Mr Knapman pointed out that many modern cars are equipped with sophisticated technology to assist with parking – including sensors, reversing cameras and automatic parallel parking functions.
But he added: "No matter how easy the technology makes it to park, if the space is too small for your car, none of it will help you physically to squeeze out of the driver's seat."
CarGurus compared the dimensions of the 23 most popular cars on the road today that had an equivalent available in the 1970s.
The top 10 car brands sold so far this year
It said that the models have continually grown in size to reflect, not just the additional safety features available, but the increased size of drivers.
Research suggests that millions of drivers scrape their cars each year trying to park in cramped spaces or pillar-filled multi-storey car parks, with average repair bills running to hundreds of pounds.
The biggest grower in the study was the three-door Mini Hatch, which is now 55 per cent bigger and takes up 20 per cent more of a parking space than the original manufactured between 1959 and 2000.
Meanwhile, the generation of Honda Civics made today is 1.8m wide, an increase of 44 per cent on its 1970s counterpart, and takes up nearly three quarters of a standard parking bay.
The standard size of a parking bay is 2.4 by 4.8m and has not changed in 50 years, according to CarGurus.
The tightest fitting car of all is the Land Rover Range Rover, which is 1.98m wide, taking up 86 per cent of a parking space and leaving drivers just 21cm breathing space.
How wide is your car? 1970s against 2020
Alex Kindred, of Confused.com, the price comparison website, warned drivers to inform their insurer if their car is scraped in a car park.
"If your car is damaged in a car park, you may not be able to track down the person responsible, leaving you to foot the bill," he added.
"Depending on the excess on your policy, it may not be very cost effective to recover the costs through your insurer. But scrapes and bumps of any size should always be flagged.
"While you might think your insurer will never find out, it could come up if you need to have an assessment for any other damage in the future."

At the age of 17, Fanon purchased his first synthesizer and drum machine and started buying dance 12" records. Fanon soon developed a style which combined the funky, dark, industrial syncopated rhythms of techno with the soul of house music.
Fanon Flowers began to garner attention in 1994 when he appeared as Mode Selector on the "Elements of and Experiments with Sound" compilation on Detroit's seminal Planet E label. Subsequent EPs for such labels as Reference, Konsequent, Sheep, E-Com, and Holtzplatten established Flowers' reputation as a prominent American techno producer. In 1996, Fanon Flowers appeared under his Mode Selector alias on the "Detroit: Beyond the Third Wave" Compilation. Released on Astralwerks, Flowers appeared alongside Detroit techno stalwarts such as Claude Young, Ectomorph, Sean Deason, and Anthony "Shake" Shakir.


After 30 minutes of playing I have to say that the graphics and atmosphere of Trulion are really enjoyable. I'm playing on an Android phone, specifically a Samsung Galaxy S9, not the big screen version.
One thing I did notice is that the dialogue screen looks a bit shabby and I was unable to scroll down to see more conversation from the Welcome NPC. I tried using my fingers and then a stylus. The scroll bar does move however the text does not scroll up or down with it.
Here is a screen cap from my Galaxy S9.
We are currently in the process of redoing the whole Dialogue layout. We will hopefully have the new version rolled out in the next patch which should come Sunday 21st around 10PM EST. New builds should be approved the following Monday morning.

So in a previous thread I had some trouble getting a basic auth script working. I'll post a link to that here in a few moments.
Once I solved the issues with bad fonts screwing up the script I was still left with a 500 server error due to the server scripts not being able to read the folder or .htpasswd file that was in it. That, as I suspected, was due to permissions stupidity on the OS X host. I'm one stubborn bugger though, and ALWAYS refuse to believe there is no work around. I suspected that the reason the files couldn't be located or read was because "system" was not a user on either the folder or the .htpasswd file. I was right, but you would not believe how many other people over the years have tried to find out how to add system as user in a folder or file, only to be met with, "Why would you want to do that?" and no answers at all.
Well, I figured out how and it doesn't require messing with the terminal.
HOW TO ADD SYSTEM AS USER TO OS X FOLDERS AND FILES.
Step 2. DUPLICATE the folder or file.
Step 3. DELETE the contents of the folder or file, and replace with your own files or code.
Step 4. RENAME the folder or file and place where desired.
VIOLA! Xampp can now find the folders and files it couldn't find before.
Don't let the low number of posts fool you. I've been a Xampp user for many years. I opened a new account because I lost my old credentials for the forum.
Open a terminal, and enter "man chmod", as well as "man chown" and finally "man chgrp" and read all of these manuals carefully. You must be system admin in some cases in order to execute, therefore enter "sudo chmod ...." etc. in order to execute the commands. Enter the password of your UserID when asked. Have fun!
You may have time for that. Many do not. I find it nice to know it can be done without all that.
i dont believe its a question of time. Anyway, what will you do if the parent folder has wrong permissions and even will not allow you to put any files or folders into it? You are wasting your time by such poor "solutions" and not vice verse. Of course you may do what you want, but to the rest of the world: dont follow that poor advice, its the wrong direction.
Time is everything. No matter who you are. Most of us want Xampp to simply WORK for our website environments. The whole reason most of us download and install it is because it's easy and doesn't take as much time as learning how to deal with full blown Linux installations, which I'm sure you know are far more complicated and involve far more command line instructions to implement properly. That, in point of fact, is exactly why Apachefriends developed Xampp to begin with. To avoid all that crap at least as much as possible. I don't, and most of Xampp users do not, have time to mess around with reading multiple manuals. Most of us are about getting Xampp up and running, and CUSTOMIZED to our preferences, so that we can run and develop our websites as quickly and simply as possible. If you think that by not reading everything available on the subject is more of a waste of time, have fun with that. I've been using Xampp in various renditions for nearly ten years now, and know from experience that it CAN be customized AND tweaked as much as anyone wants.
Xampp is an OPEN SOURCE stack of OPEN SOURCE software and web applications. Open Source means it is left UNENCRYPTED for the express purpose of being modified according to every individual user's preference. Therefore, we are ALL free to modify it to suit our individual needs, and YOU have nothing to say about whether what we need is appropriate or not. Your opinion is worth as much as we think it is. If you think what we want to do shouldn't be done, that opinion is worth nothing to anyone but yourself. If you think otherwise, then you do not understand what OPEN SOURCE means at all.
Stop trying to force your own idea of what is "the right way" and what is "the wrong way" to do things with Xampp. They are your own IDEAS, and may be fine for you, but may not suit the needs of others.
You are barking up the wrong tree. Of course you may do everything you want and of course you may run an Online Server and you may modify whatever you want. But dont expect any support, that is NOT included in your open source visions. If you are in any troubles (even if you have a hacked server) go and ask somewhere else, you wont get any support in the Xampp forum. Thats all.

Yes, i do believe strongly that its a waste of time to struggle around with folders and files without knowing anything about it and without a global overview, how these things are working. You are wasting youre time by such poor "hacks", i gonna read that manual once and then i know how to do for my whole life. You have to start from scratch with each new problem, i mostly know within seconds what the problem is - because i took the little time to look into the manuals.
moonwalker_repeat wrote: I've been using Xampp in various renditions for nearly ten years now, and know from experience that it CAN be customized AND tweaked as much as anyone wants.
And you are still a NOOB in comparison. I also used Xampp since 10 years, but i also learned how to configure Apache, MySQL and PHP and Perl without Xampp. I learned how to program in HTML, PHP and Perl, i learned about Apache configuration, I learned about server configuration, about TCPIP, about SQL, about File Systems, about Users and rights management, about Linux vs. Windows, about OSX vs. Linux, about this and that and that. And all that i learned by simply reading the manual and practicing due to the manuals. I have become a huge expert in all these things, whereas you remain a poor little Webprogrammer without any knowledge about your OSX system. You still cannot setup a wevserver without Xampp. You still have no Linux skills, the most important OS for webservers. Are you proud of that? I wouldnt. I have never asked in any forum about any problem, i all found it on myself in reading articles and manuals. And that knowledge remains forever.
Thanks for the maturity and help.
MUCH better solution: Enable root user login and work on Xampp configuration only as that user. It can be risky but overcomes many permissions issues. You can, if necessary, add system (yourself if you are logged in with that account) as user and owner. No terminal necessary.
This alone solved every issue I've had over the past week. I've completely uninstalled Xampp then started from scratch using system account. Took a couple of hours total (including reinstalling two working websites and configuring). Xampp now running exactly as I want it to.
You can do what ever you want and whatever works for you on your system.
I cannot agree with any of your alternative solutions and cannot recommend other users to use them.
To lower the security of a system just to avoid using the terminal seems like a bad strategy to me.
Altrea wrote: I cannot agree with any of your alternative solutions and cannot recommend other users to use them.
Yes, I totally agree. Its horrible!
Fine. You don't have to. It's a free world for the most part. Look, all I want is a development platform up and running as suits my particular needs as quickly as possible.
Please note: I am NOT advocating anyone put their systems at risk by making them publicly available. In point of fact, that isn't what I'm doing either.
Rather than simply stating you don't agree, how about explaining WHY? What, in what I've done, creates a security risk exactly? Simply stating bluntly there is no reason to do what I've done (which is simply NOT true ~ what on earth do you know about my environment? Nothing. That's what.
You people need to learn to be more helpful than critical by ASKING more about why someone may want to do something instead of simply shooting down every question you don't agree should be asked. That's just childish.
By the way, solutions are solutions, and ALL of them are alternatives to something. If mine are so all fired "horrible" then delete all my posts. In fact, go ahead and delete my entire profile. I really don't care. This forum was no help to me to begin with.
I would like to add a couple of thoughts to this thread for anyone who stumbles across it. First of all, I would like to thank Altrea for helping in another thread by pointing out a problem with character types messing up syntax. The advice helped and I appreciate that.
If you please, for my benefit as well as others reading, can you explain why it is you feel that I've lowered the security of my system? This is NOT meant as a challenge. It is meant as an honest question because I feel as though you are telling me I've done something dangerous, but then not explained what how and why it is dangerous, leaving me and possibly others to simply wonder what the problem is.
The reason I am asking now after all these months is pretty simple. I've been running a Xampp server since I started this thread for months now with virtually - actually no, not virtually, but literally - no intrusions. Keep in mind I have taken other precautions that I am not going to share here for security reasons (which should be obvious). I had some issues that I needed help with because being submerged in many issues I simply could not see what might be obvious to someone not involved. I sometimes throw a problem out there (on rare occasions here) to see if someone else can see the obvious that I can't see due to being too deeply submerged in a project with [other] many problems that I actually CAN solve on my own.
I came here for the same reason most people do. To get help and LEARN. That's what forums are for. I TOTALLY understand that Apache Friends doesn't want people to use Xampp as a full fledged online server because they have intentionally made Xampp for use by developers as a development environment, and by virtue of making it easier to set up and use have rendered the system much easier to be hacked. And that is not what I'm doing.
Anyway, would you at least agree that an explanation of why what I have done equates to "lowering the security of my system" might actually be valuable information to the public? And if you do agree, can you please offer more details as to why you feel this is true?
Time is everything. Regardless of your identity. The majority of us need Xampp to just WORK for our site surroundings. The entire reason the vast majority of us download and introduce it is on account of it's simple and doesn't require as much investment as figuring out how to manage all out Linux establishments, which I'm certain you know are significantly more confounded and include much more summon line guidelines to execute appropriately.
Xampp is an OPEN SOURCE heap of OPEN SOURCE programming and web applications. Open Source implies it is left UNENCRYPTED for the express reason for being adjusted by each individual client's inclination. In this manner, we are ALL allowed to alter it to suit our individual needs, and YOU have nothing to say in regards to whether what we require is proper or not. Your feeling is worth as much as we think it seems to be. On the off chance that you think what we need to do shouldn't be done, that conclusion merits nothing to anybody except for yourself. In the event that you suspect something, at that point you don't comprehend what OPEN SOURCE implies by any stretch of the imagination.
Quit endeavoring to constrain your own concept of what is "the correct way" and what is "the wrong route" to get things done with Xampp. They are your own IDEAS, and might be fine for you, however may not suit the requirements of others.

Of course. But you overlooked something very important: who gives the support? Don't forget, we are here in the Xampp Support Forum. Whoever comes here has a problem with Xampp. Whoever has put together his own environment is wrong here. Because that's my right, I decide who I can help and who I can't help.

No, its not. As long as you are a private user in your private LAN, of course you can do what you want and there is no problem. Besides one problem that will remain: if you gonna work with root permissions the whole time, you accidently might destroy (delete) very important parts of your system. You wont be the first nor the last who accidently killed his PC. The less you know, the greater the risk of making a terrible mistake.
Apart from that, it's not really a problem, but here in the forum we have often found that users don't use Xampp (as recommended) as a development environment, but as a production server. And then, of course, it is a problem if you violate basic security measures. Of course, this does not automatically mean that a server is hacked, but the risk is simply higher and you should keep the risk as low as necessary and not unnecessarily high for convenience. Its a recommendation, not more, not less. If your server has been hacked, that's just your problem. At least here, no one will help.


The Oral Health Foundation was joined by a room full of campaigners and supporters earlier this week, as the charity launched this year's Mouth Cancer Action Month at the House of Commons.
More than 75 people from across 40 organisations were in attendance and heard from a range of speakers reemphasising the need for greater nationwide support for mouth cancer awareness.
Dr Ben Atkins, trustee of the Oral Health Foundation brought the room to order and introduced Sir Paul Beresford MP, the event's parliamentary sponsor.
Sir Paul spoke about the importance of campaigns such as Mouth Cancer Action Month, before highlighting the landmark decision made by English, Welsh and Scottish governments to introduce gender-neutral HPV vaccinations.
The Oral Health Foundation's Chief Executive Dr Nigel Carter OBE, was next to welcome everybody to the event, speaking about the continued importance of mouth cancer awareness.
Dr Carter said: "It is a great pleasure to be able to bring so many ardent campaigners against mouth cancer in one place, to help drive home the importance of the continued need for action.
"We owe our thanks to Sir Paul Beresford, who makes it possible for the campaign launch to be held at the House of Commons, showing just how important this campaign is.
"Thankfully, since we started Mouth Cancer Action Month, awareness of this deadly disease has grown from a very low level to a point where most people have at least heard about the disease, but it is not enough yet.
The room then heard from the campaign's two main sponsors, Simplyhealth Professionals and Dentists' Provident.
Dr Henry Clover, Chief Dental Officer at Simplyhealth Professionals, added: "We continue to show our support to this campaign because we understand just how much it has done already, and also, how much work is still to be done to save lives.
Dr Clover also highlighted research from Simplyhealth Professionals which found that 83% of people in the UK do not check for signs of mouth cancer regularly. When put together with the number of people still failing to visit the dentist regularly, shows why many cases of mouth cancer are found late.
Paul Roebuck, who was diagnosed with mouth cancer last year, addressed the room with his powerful, emotional and important story of his fight with mouth cancer.
Paul said: "When you get diagnosed with mouth cancer you ask yourself a series of questions; what about my mortgage, my bills, my car, my kids education, my legacy, my life's work? What will happen to my kids, my wife, my family and friends will those people stand by me?
"You then think about being unable to speak. Will my grandchildren be able to hear their granddad's voice? Finally, you think 'will I survive?'. Will this go further, and will I still be here next year? These are the important things which getting diagnosed with mouth cancer makes you think about.
The Oral Health Foundation was joined at the launch event by six other charities and support groups, all of which do vitally important work to raise awareness of mouth cancer.
The Mouth Cancer Foundation, Noman is an Island, the Throat Cancer Foundation, HPV Action, Boundaries for Life and Heads Together, all supported the parliamentary reception by being a co-host.
Mouth cancer survivor Rachel Parsons and Dr Philip Lewis both spoke on behalf of the Mouth Cancer Foundation, emphasising the need for greater awareness about the disease.

So Long, Lillian
By Ellen Crean
October 3, 2003 / 8:32 AM / CBS
You would think that being a veteran scout master would be an asset for a contestant on Survivor: Pearl Islands. Unfortunately, for Cincinnati Boy Scout leader Lillian Morris, her skills didn't convince her fellow tribemates that she was valuable enough to keep around.
Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith asked her what it was like when she was voted off.
"It was heartbreaking," said Lillian. "You expect to go to the end, to win that million dollars. But I'm realistic. I'm glad I wasn't the first."
She had a friend in Ryan Shoulders, who was voted off the week before her. "Ryan is my bud," Lillian said. "I don't know if it was because he was so close to the ages of so many of my boys and, you know, the size of so many of my kids… Once he was gone, I just felt very lonely and very out of place."
She noted that, at 51, she was the oldest person in her tribe.
"I believe maybe it's because I'm not as cute as Darrah. She's a lovely girl, she really is nice… Every one of those young people treated me very kindly and with respect. I don't believe any of them said anything really mean to me or about me, which is wonderful. And I'm thrilled."
As for the tribe choosing to keep Darrah instead of her, Lillian said, "We got these beefy, bulky young men, like the young girls and that's fine. I mean, who would you rather cuddle up to? Me or Darrah? Don't answer that!"
Harry's response: "You know how to make a fire! I might stick with you!"
Lillian: "That's one way I can keep you warm!"

Metz (@2.2) vs Toulouse (@3.5)
Metz will win
Metz vs Toulouse
Metz – Toulouse Match Prediction | 28-09-2019 14:00
The Cameroon international scored a brace against Toulouse, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay. Les Parisiens are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against the newcomers and despite the fact that Cameroon attacker Jean-Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will lead the line for the visitors, away win should be considered. Les Grenats, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Angers, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the visitors.
The game will take place at Stade Municipal Saint-Symphorien this Friday. Metz vs PSG prediction arrives ahead of the 4th round of the French Ligue 1. I expect to see an exciting matchup with a high number of goals scored. Therefore, make sure to read my full match preview to get the best betting tips and correct score predictions for this fixture.

They dont tend to concede many goals, only 5 so far on the road. Metz are on form one of the poorest sides in Ligue 1, they have scored just 2 goals in 450 minutes of play and both of those goals came in one match. What has been impressive about the club is that their away form is better than their home form.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.

The shoot-stopper, who was born in Nevers (France) on July 19, 1988, though, did not make his first-team debut for les Dogues and it has to be noted that he played 84 games for Lille B. Nonetheless, he made no more than 1 appearance for the club and in 2006 he signed a contract with Ligue 1 club Lille.

Diop is a youth international for France at various levels, but seeing that his father Labysse Diop is of Senegal descent, the Toulouse footballer could represent les Lions de la Teranga at senior level. Issa Diop, who was born in Toulouse on January 9, 1997, scored his first ever goal in the French top flight in a 3-0 win over Troyes in December, 2015.
Mets, commonly known as the Maroons, triumphed in just 1 of the last 5 clashes. After a great season in Ligue 2 when they lifted the trophy, their form took a steep turn for the worse. They are currently placed 9th in the top flight of French football with 4 points from a draw, a win, and a loss from the prior round. Moreover, they fired only 4 shots despite having a 63% possession. In the Angers clash, the Maroons had trouble creating chances. Furthermore, before the final whistle, they managed to concede 3 goals.

Israel's Materialist Militarism
Yagil Levy
Israel's Materialist Militarism examines the decade of fluctuations in Israel's military policies, from the peace period of the Oslo Accords to the al-Aqsa Intifada, when the military's use of excessive force led to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, and on to the Second Lebanon War of 2006, which reversed the moderating tendencies of the withdrawal from Gaza a year earlier. These dynamics of escalation and deescalation are explained in terms of materialist militarism, the exchange between social groups' military sacrifice and their social rewards, which in turn increases or decreases the level of militarism in society. Levy thus lays down a theoretical framework vital to tracing the fluctuating levels of militarism in Israel and elsewhere. Israel's Materialist Militarism is recommended for those interested in the Arab-Israeli conflict and military-society relations in general. « less more »

Chapter 7: The Second Lebanon War: The "Gap of Legitimacies" Syndrome
Chapter 8: Conclusions: Why Materialist Militarism Matters
Yagil Levy astutely brings together previously unconnected ideas about citizenship and rewards to military service. He thus produces a novel, persuasive account of how and why Israeli popular support for military actions against neighbors changes from one military engagement to the next.
— Charles Tilly, Joseph L. Buttenwieser Professor of Social Science, Columbia University
In this valuable book, Yagil Levy probes how the Israeli state has historically been constituted by military service and its concomitant social and material rewards, how the citizenship equation has been transformed over the decades, how the military's social base has changed as a result, and how these various trajectories have come together to shape the contemporary Israeli polity, its democracy, and especially its foreign policy and military strategy. The "material militarist" theoretical framework that Levy employs for organizing and understanding these developments is sure to provoke much debate, as will his particular interpretations of Israeli politics. Students of Israel in particular and of civil-military relations in general will find much rewarding in this rich study.

A national disgrace, scoundrel and extremist*: How Menie masterplans?
I've written to the architects in charge of the masterplanning exercise at Menie asking whether they will be preparing one masterplan or two.
Last week, Aberdeenshire Council failed to rule out the use of compulsory purchase orders for five properties at Menie leaving uncertainty for both residents and the Trump Organisation.
But with the residents determined not to sell willingly and all indications still being that councillors believe that using compulsory purchase powers for private profit would be wrong, Gareth Hoskins Associates now have a problem. Will the realistic boundaries be the original boundaries or can they can include the disputed lands belonging to my constituents? Or should he simply prepare two?
A masterplan was a key requirement of the planning permission granted by Scottish Ministers and the intent was for a masterplan to be agreed before detailed planning permissions can be lodged and any development can start. But until the threat of CPOs is wthdrawn completely, no-one can know where the bounds of the masterplan should be. If my constituents properties are included in the masterplan, it may never be deliverable and the Trump Organisations noise about starting in November may simply be more Trump noise - they don't usually stick to any timetable they advertise.
which as chestnut pale fencing has been erected is part retrospective.
Just to prove to the detractors that the issues concerning the Menie are wider than just the issue of CPO's.
Interesting to see that on the same page as your reminder about Earth Day, there is a link to the planning permission for planting of marram grass seeemingly a 'foreign' grass species to the detriment of native species of Grass (The Botanical Consultant's report is worth reading for those interested in conservation).
How is it that an endangered species growing in a supposedly protected SSSI can be simply machined, fertilised or over planted out of existence, SSI status was not granted simply because the dune system looked nice.
I hope the council studies the report into the ecology of the dunes and particularly notes the last comment regarding the development.
Why has this fencing been erected without planning permission? No retrospective permission should be given on such an important site. When will it be considered by the Council? or will Trump be permitted to carry on trashing this site without permission.
The botanist David Welch stated in his most recent letter that metal stakes had been concreted into the dune. Trump's people could be critically endangering this site and being allowed to get away with it. Why is this being allowed to happen?
Also the plans for the course layout have been changed yet no permission exists for these changes. SWT state that TI are in breach of the agreements made when outline permission was granted - is this true?
David Welch also states that certain endangered species have not been correctly classified in Trumps EMP - I'm sure that he pointed it out in letters more than a year ago, again this just should not be tolerated. No doubt the nitrification from run off will destroy much of the habitat too!
Why has it taken so long to appoint an ecological clerk of works? perhaps no self respecting ecologist wants to take this one on. Do you know if an ecologist has been appointed now and a new EMP been carried out that takes into account the course layout changes? If not surely the work can not commence in November.
More questions need to be asked about the letters that Anne Faulds sent to Alan Campbell, recently published on Rob Edward's blog- no wonder he resigned! perhaps he knew what lay ahead. The Council should have stood up to this bullying at the outset. They are now in a 'no win' situation. They have bent and broken all the rules to accommodate this bully and need to answer for their actions. Only a handful of Councillors, including yourself, had the strength and knowledge to stand up to TI. I'm sure many more FOI's requests could be made to find out what really happened. No doubt it will cost us dear in the long term.
I don't really understand the planning system but this whole trump business is a disaster for the NE. Particularly for the individuals with their homes threatened by something as futile as a golf course. I felt sick when I saw Sara Malone say that this was not about individuals but about the future prosperity of the NE - she should be ashamed of herself!

Will State make Covid vaccine mandatory?
By Guy Page on November 25, 2020 • ( 5 Comments )
By Guy Page
On August 25, both Gov. Phil Scott and Health Commissioner Mark Levine said they were open but not committed to mandatory vaccination for Covid-19. They took a 'wait and see' approach. Would the vaccine be safe? Effective? As Gov. Scott said: "details do matter."
Since then, neither official has spoken publicly about making the Covid-19 vaccination mandatory. A Health Dept. spokesperson said today, "there has been no discussion of making COVID-19 vaccines mandatory by the state." At this Friday's press conference, Vermont Daily plans to ask them for an update on any consideration mandatory vaccination.
The following developments of possible relevance to their eventual decision have taken place since August 25:
Health Commissioner Mark Levine
#1 – New vaccines effective, Levine says. The three vaccines scheduled to reach the market soon are believed to be highly effective, Levine said at yesterday's press conference.
#2 – Vermont Health Dept. plan doesn't explicitly ensure voluntary vaccination – unlike NY's plan. Levine issued a Covid-19 vaccine release plan October 21. It makes no mention of mandatory vaccination – one way or the other. Unaddressed, the option is left open. By contrast, the lead bullet point on an Oct. 18 New York State release plan declares the plan is "Intended to Ensure a Safe & Effective COVID-19 Vaccine Is Administered to All New York Residents Who Want One."
Perhaps in response to the NY plan, the New York Bar Association has recommended mandatory Covid-19 vaccination. The Vermont Bar Administration has remained silent. However, Vermont gubernatorial candidate and lawyer John Klar earlier denounced the NY bar proposal, saying the disease's relatively benign footprint (compared to, say, Ebola) doesn't reach the constitutional threshhold empowering the executive branch to force vaccination.
#3 – No change in state law on exceptions to compulsory vaccination for children. On August 25, the Legislature was still in session and could have theoretically acted on H238 to remove the religious exemption for parents to not immunize pre-school children for standard immunizations. However, H238 died when the session ended.
August 25 comments on mandatory vaccination – In their August 25, 2020 press conference, both Gov. Phil Scott and Health Commissioner Mark Levine said their endorsement of Covid-19 mandatory vaccination for would depend on likely outcomes, such as safety and effectiveness.
On August 25, Vermont Daily asked: "The Virginia Commissioner of Health last week said when a Covid vaccine becomes available, he plans to make vaccination mandatory. Even though his Governor's office has now walked that comment back a bit, Commissioner Levine, can you tell us if you will recommend mandatory vaccination, and if so why? Governor, you've said you lean heavily on the Commissioner's recommendations, what are your thoughts about making Covid-19 vaccination mandatory?"
In response, Gov. Scott exercised his gubernatorial prerogative to answer first. "If we could magically go back about six months, and I could tell you we have a safe and effective vaccine to prevent the destruction of the world economy and 180,000 deaths [nationwide], I would bet that most people would say, 'give me some of that,'" Scott said. "So from my standpoint, I lean heavily on trying to make sure that if there is [a safe, effective vaccine] that we would do so. But details do matter. There are some exceptions that would have to be made, no doubt, but the more people that take the vaccine, the better."
When asked to characterize his answer as supporting mandatory vaccination but with exceptions, Gov. Scott demurred: "I can't say I would want to make something mandatory" without knowing about the vaccine's safety and effectiveness. But he repeated, "this is about our livelihood, about our loss of life." He again cited, with emphasis, the 32,000 New Yorkers and 180,000 Americans dead from Covid-19.
Commissioner Levine answered: "I do know the commissioner from Virginia, and I have a lot of respect for him." Covid-19 vaccine research "progress has been at an astounding pace. The prime consideration, if we were to make something mandatory, is what the outcomes would be like," for example, "how many deaths that could be prevented. And we already know how contagious it is, and how much care we have to take to prevent it."
Levine said he would want to know about a vaccine's "safety profile…..I can tolerate any vaccine giving some discomfort at an injection site, or causing a low grade fever." More serious side effects "usually occur very rarely," but "you want to have a handle on that." And the trials must have enough people enrolled, he said.
The health commissioner added, "I'm with the governor, this is a serious enough illness, and not just because it is impacting the economy and our ability to do everything the way we used to do it," but because lives are at stake.
"I can't give you a definitive answer just yet," Levine concluded. "But stay tuned."

under no circumstances are vaccines mandatory, I know 3 people who have lifelong disability from taking a regular flu vaccine, it attacked the myilin sheath in their spinal cord and some people are deadly allergic to the ingredients in flu vaccines. this is draconian to think you can make everyone take a vaccine that will kill some people!
Guy Page says:
well, Scott did say there will have to be exceptions. I'm guessing that would be one of them?

Introduced in 1975, Bless You! Baby Tender Love was one of Mattel's popular Tender Love doll series. Like others in the series, Bless You! Baby Tender Love was made of dublon vinyl that gave the illusion of soft life-like skin. She was also personified with a cold, which children could activate by giving the doll a bottle of water, then squeezing her. This would emit a tiny "aachoo!" and a runny nose. Bless You! Baby Tender Love stood 15-inches tall and came with a nightie and bottle.
Released in 1971 by Milton Bradley, Stay Alive is one of those strategy games whose name accurately sums up its overall objective.

Billy Joel Puts Denver in Key
Alex Faubel September 17, 2015
photo by Kyle Cooper
Billy Joel proved he's much more than just a Piano Man during Wednesday's show at the Pepsi Center. The stout crooner immersed audiences in a trip through his musical anthology, which is as varied as his talented band members. Joel looked the part of a seasoned jazz performer in his stiff suit and barren noggin, but his former rocker self shone through during renditions of fan-favorite ballads.
Joel delivered snippets of convincing covers of Elton John's "Your Song," "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" from The Lion King, Frankie Valli's "Sherry" and "Layla." Fans were both enthralled by these spot-on renditions and disappointed when Joel abruptly cut each short with a groan implying frustration that anyone was there for anything other than Billy Joel's greatest hits.
Still, tracks like "Big Shot," the doowop-inspired hit "The Longest Time," timeless classic "New York State of Mind," "She's Always a Woman" and "We Didn't Start the Fire" elicited shrieks from middle-aged Joel fangirls and fanboys alike. Personally, I dug Joel's "Rocky Mountain Way" rendition, which showcased the pipes on the uber-talented multi-instrumentalist Carl Fisher, who switched adeptly between trumpet, trombone and saxophone with fervor.
Joel didn't feign interest in stealing the attention for too long from his exceptional band members, who each had their moment of limelight in the show. Crystal Talifiero crushed percussion, sax, harmonica and supporting vocals, commandeering her arena like a Williams sister on the tennis court. Guitarist Tommy Byrnes—who oddly resembled a 70s-inspired Tony Danza—slayed his solos and dexterously swooped into the unmistakable entry riff for ACDC's "Highway to Hell." Here, the unexpectedly capable roadie, "Chainsaw," accompanied the band on vocals, piercing audiences with his best impression of Brian Johnson's earsplitting high notes. Chainsaw concluded his debut by showering the audience with a cup of water and departed the stage to go pack up a speaker or radio in Jimmy Johns.
Joel reined it all in with "Piano Man," which prompted tired souls to rise to their feet in an instant. The driving harmonica intro prompted strangers to throw their arms around one another and sway to the melody. Joel concluded with an encore featuring the buoyant fan-favorite "Uptown Girl" and harder-hitting tracks like, "You May be Right"— featuring a Led Zeppelin extract—and "Only the Good Die Young."
Though visibly exhausted from the endless exertion and lack of oxygen, Joel proved he's still a driving force in music, either when he plays the hits or tosses in an obscure album track, the man's still got it. And one piece of advice to any fan, make sure your pen works before you ask for an autograph.

Are You Ready To Find A Pet Sitting Job?
Do you consider yourself to be a dog lover? Are you willing to welcome a stranger's dog into your home? Would you prefer to leave your 9 to 5 job, have a flexible schedule, and get paid to play with dogs? If you answered yes to all of these questions, then it's time to find a job in the peer-to-peer pet sitting niche.
The pet sitting marketplace connects dog owners with local, reliable, and affordable dog lovers who will watch, walk, and love someone else's dog while they are out of town. It's the perfect way for any dog lover to build their own pet services business where they can offer boarding, day care, grooming, bathing, or walking services.
With peer-to-peer pet sitting, owners can have peace of mind knowing that their canine companions are in good hands, in a safe and cozy location, and are getting the attention that they deserve. It eliminates the need for expensive kennels where the dogs don't get a lot of one-on-one time. It has never been easier for owners to leave their dog and enjoy their vacation.
This niche is growing quickly and shared economy pet sitting businesses have a potential global market. In exchange for providing the infrastructure, technology, insurance, support, and matchmaking, these businesses take a small commission from every transaction. It's a win-win for everyone involved.
Here's a quick run down of how peer-to-peer pet sitting works: Pet owners search for pet sitters by zip code or location. They can browse pet sitter profiles that highlight experience, property type, dog details, certifications, rates, services, and other information. Then they select the best person for the job, coordinate further arrangements via the app or website, and drop off their dog.
The pet sitters send daily photo and video updates so owners can see what types of shenanigans their dogs are up to in their new home away from home. Upon their return, the owner picks up the dog and both parties write a review that will help build their pets and their pet sitting reputations.
Anyone can apply online to become a pet sitter – or better yet, sign up to work for multiple companies to maximize your income. The company will run a general background check to ensure you are a safe and trustworthy person.
Once you are accepted, you'll be an independent contractor who runs their own pet sitting business. Take the time to craft your pet sitting profile pages, as this is the new face of your business.
Soon you'll have a collection of loyal clients and a pack of tail wagging dogs that adore you. But it gets better! As a shared economy pet sitter, you get to create your own calendar, run your own business, set your own rates, and hang out with as many dogs as you can handle.
Anyone can be a pet sitter – students, retirees, stay-at-home moms, freelancers, families, and dog lovers. It's easy to work part-time, full-time, or whenever you want. There is never any pressure to work, but the more you work, the more you can make.
On average, pet sitters make about $800 to $1200 per month. More money can be made over the holidays or when you watch more than one dog at a time. It's even possible to pull in $100,000+ in a year – all for taking care of other people's dogs!
Is a flexible, pet sitting job starting to sound like an ideal way to make a living? We thought so. Take advantage of the pet sitting marketplace and build your pet sitting business today. If you are a dog lover, it's time to turn your dream job become a reality.

Q: Best Method for Adding a Sorted Array to a Reallocated Sorted Array While Sorting the Combined Array I'm trying to figure out the best solution for this particular problem.
Here is the rundown of what I am trying to do:

*

*I have two arrays, A and B.

*B was previously reallocated to make room for the elements in A.

*A is always a fully populated array.

*B always has at least one element.

*Both A and B are already sorted.

I want to add the elements of A to B while keeping the array sorted.
Ex:
//Given:
A = [1,3,5]
B = [2,4,6, , , ]

//Desired Result:
B = [1,2,3,4,5,6]

The fastest way of doing this that I have thought of so far would be:

*

*Add all of the elements of A to B, would take O(n).

*Sort the combined array, using something like merge sort for O(nlogn).

I'm trying to figure out of there is a way doing this faster than O(nlogn).
Space complexity is not an issue in this case.

A: You only need the merge step of a mergesort. The merge step takes two sorted arrays and combines them into one sorted array in O(n) time.
You can save some time copying by starting the merge at the tails of A and B instead of the heads. This would let you perform the merge in place in the storage you've allocated for B instead of needing to merge into a third array and then copy back to B.

Me and my sister are obsess with their Micellar Cleansing Water and I am sure she'd be curious to try this Aqua Rich too when she sees this in my bag. She literally hoarded Biore products during her trip in Japan last month. Have you tried any Biorè products? What's your most favorite?
Yes, feels so nice on skin. Kahit haggard na, it doesn't feel extra greasy because of the sunblock layer.

Orange County FL Criminal Trial Attorneys who will fight to get justice for your case.
One of the major questions that arises when a person gets arrested for a crime is: When is the right time to hire a lawyer? The simple answer is that you want to hire experienced Orange County FL Trial Attorneys to represent you as quickly as possible after your arrest. Far too frequently people wait around long periods of time before deciding to hire a lawyer, often times until after they bond out of jail, after charges or filed, after the case has been going on for months, and even sometimes when the case is already set for trial. The sooner you hire Orange County FL Trial Attorneys to handle your case, the sooner they can get to work and start fighting to get the best outcome on your case. The earlier on you hire Orange County FL Trial Attorneys on your case, the sooner they can get to work on critical elements of your case including: working to get a reasonable bond, fighting to convince the State not to move forward on a case before formal charges are filed, interviewing witnesses and an conducting investigation to gather and preserve critical, time-sensitive evidence that may be destroyed if too much time passes, and many other vital tasks. Also, hiring an attorney as early as possible gives the lawyer the most amount of time to explore defenses, possible pretrial motions, and test strategies and theories that will help you prepare the best defense to fight your case, secure a dismissal or reduction in charges, or beat the case at trial.
Hiring Orange County FL Trial Attorneys early on in the process also will give you piece of mind knowing that you have a skilled, knowledgable advocate fighting on your behalf to try to obtain a just outcome for your case. Early negotiation with the State and timely discovery and preservation of witnesses and evidence can often mean the difference between winning or losing a case. Also, since criminal cases are often very complex, a good lawyer wants as much time as possible to prepare the case and fight relentlessly to achieve an optimal result for their client. At Smith & Eulo Law Firm, we find that some of our best results have been achieved with clients who hire us at the very beginning of their cases, either prior to or immediately after arrest.

Q: Using jquery to call php functions Does anyone have any advice on how to run mysql queries using JQuery?
I am attempting to implement a system using jquery mobile with a mysql database as the backend. Are there any useful tutorials that I could follow to learn how to use ajax to call php functions that would contact a mysql database?

A: You won't run MySQL queries with JQuery directly. Set up a PHP file on your server that reads the needed information from $_REQUEST, $_POST, or $_GET (depends on how you want to implement it), then inserts that information into your query and handles the database call.
Once the database responds, you can send the information back to your jQuery app with
echo php_jsonencode($data); //Data is what ever value you got from the database.

That will send your database data back to jQuery as JSON so it's easier to parse.
The details on how you accomplish these steps are very dependent on the information your sending, and what you need to send back. So I can't answer more specifically without more details.

A: If you want to call PHP functions from jQuery (JavaScript) itself, it is impossible as JavaScript is client side and PHP is server side. Still there are ways to communicate with your database using JavaScript. The most common way is using AJAX where you call a PHP file or another server side script with some code to communicate.
$("form").submit(function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();

  $.ajax({
    type:     "POST",
    url:      $(this).attr("action"),
    data:     $(this).find("input[name='needed']").val()
  });

  return false;
});

1967 Pontiac Firebird in Lutz, FL for sale.
This 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible is a true purple people eater. With four-on-the-floor and a 455+ cubic-inch punch under its pointed hoodand#44; it might look handsomeand#44; but its also one quick droptop.

 Theres no sneaking around in a Firebird convertible painted Plum Mist. This was on the factory color list in 67and#44; but its exceptionally more striking than what they could do back then. Its dripping with the kind of clearcoat shine that rivals chrome bumpers and trim. And speaking of the brightworkand#44; dont you just love how the integrated pointed front bumper gives the 67 Firebird a true beak-like appearance? A convertible that has been restored but not modified means no deck lid spoiler or other add-onsand#44; just a clean F-body that looks like a million bucks. Of course this one can still get a bit boisterous with cool factory elements like the hood scoopsand#44; red side stripesand#44; and Rally II wheels with PMD (Pontiac Motor Division) center caps.

 Underneath the new black folding roof is a black bucket seat interior that has been nicely restored to appear like youre driving out of the Pontiac showroom in 1967. It feels so authentic right down to the heat/defrost control and factory AM radio in the wood paneling dash. But what youll really enjoy is the muscle car feeling that comes from the deep black seatsand#44; door panelsand#44; and carpeting. The three-spoke sports steering wheel with PMD horn cap is a great looking pieceand#44; and the Hurst shifter sticking out of the center console is just begging for your right hand.

 When you open the hoodand#44; dont let the flash of the polished components keep you from discovering this Pontiacs secret. These first year Firebirds topped out at 400 cubic-inches. That was plenty of powerand#44; but this one hides an upgrade that comes from later in the muscle car wars. Its running an extremely desirableand#44; monster 455ci V8 borrowed from a 70s Pontiac. And it doesnt stop thereand#44; because it also has been bored .30 over. Thats a lot of American muscle for you to commandand#44; and everyone knows it thanks to the rumbling dual exhaust. Best of alland#44; this Firebird give you complete command over the sound and fury of the big V8 thanks to the Super T-10 four-speed manual transmission. Add in the power steeringand#44; front disc brakesand#44; and modern BF Goodrich T/As at all four cornersand#44; and this big motor ragtop is also a fine Sunday driver.

 This Pontiacs great original looks are backed up by the owners manual thats included with the sale. These first-year Firebirds are a rarityand#44; especially when so nicely restored. So yesand#44; you do need to hurry to grab this deal. Call today!!!
