Q: SwiftUI: modal Sheet hides ProgressView I'm trying to have a system-wide progress bar in my SwiftUI application, so I defined this  view (be aware: I'm targeting iOS 13+):
import SwiftUI

struct LoadingView<Content>: View where Content: View {
    @Binding var isShowing: Bool
    var content: () -> Content

    var body: some View {
        GeometryReader { _ in
            ZStack {
                self.content()

                if self.isShowing {
                    VStack {
                        ActivityIndicator()
                        Text("Loading...")
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct ActivityIndicator: UIViewRepresentable {
    typealias UIView = UIActivityIndicatorView
    fileprivate var configuration = { (_: UIView) in }

    func makeUIView(context: UIViewRepresentableContext<Self>) -> UIView { UIView() }
    func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIView, context: UIViewRepresentableContext<Self>) {
        uiView.startAnimating()
        configuration(uiView)
    }
}

and is used in ContenView.swift like this
import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    @EnvironmentObject var myViewModel: MyViewModel

    var body: some View {
        let isLoading = Binding<Bool>(
            get: { self.myViewModel.isLoading },
            set: { _ in }
        )

        LoadingView(isShowing: isLoading) {
            NavigationView {
                Home()
            }
            .navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())
        }
    }
}

where MyViewModel is a pretty standard ViewModel with a @Published var for isLoading, and Home() is the main entry point for the app.
Whenever some action that trigger isLoading in MyViewModel is done, the progress bar is shown (and hidden) correctly.
But, if I present a .sheet either by one of the view inside the NavigationView, or using the ContentView itself, no matter what it hides the progress bar.
Even if I use the builtin 14+ ProgressView the problem persists.
.Zindex() does not help either.
Any way to have that view always on top when showed, no matter what .sheet, .alert or any overlay view is available on SwiftUI is present on the screen?
Thanks in advance!

A: As already written in the comments, a modal view will be shown on top of any other view. A modal view is meant to establish a Computer-Human communication, or dialog (thus modal views frequently will be named "Dialog").
The observation, that a sheet (modal view) covers the loading indicator is expected behaviour.
But, IMO the issue described in the question and refined in the comments, can be solved nicely without breaking the behaviour of the modal views:
When you want to show data, that is not yet complete or even completely absent, you may show a "blank" screen, and in additions to this, let the view model generate a view state that says, that the view should show an "Input Sheet".
So initially, the user sees an input form over a blank screen.
Once the user made the input and submits the form (which will be handled in the View Model) the input sheet disappears (controlled by the View State generated by the View Model), and reveals the "blank" view underneath it.
So, the View Model could now present another sheet, or it realises that the input is complete.
Once the input is complete, the view model loads data and since this may take a while, it reflects this in the View State accordingly, for example using a "loading" state or flag. The view renders this accordingly, which is a loading indicator above the "blank" view.
When the view model receives data, it clears the loading state and sets the view state accordingly, passing through the data as well.
The view now renders the data view.
If the loading task failed, the view model composes a view state where the content is "absent" and with an error info.
Again the view renders this, possibly showing an alert with the message above a "blank" view, since there is still no data.
Ensure, the user can dismiss the error alert and the view model handles it by removing the "modal error" state, but the content is still "absent".
Now, the user is starring at a blank view. You may embed an error message here, or even add a "Retry" button. In any case, ensure the user can navigate away from that screen.
And so on. ;)

Wool Capital of the World
Discover the stories of Australia's wool in Longreach
At one time, Longreach was known as the 'Wool Capital of the World' and 'Centre of the Golden Fleece'. It's still the ideal place to explore wool production and its history.
When you come to outback Queensland, you can't miss the heritage wool-related sites and the places associated with the shearers' history. Plus, you can see a sheep-shearing demonstration in historic shearing sheds at Nogo Station.
Sheep in Australia
They say Australia was 'built on the sheep's back' and it all started in 1796, when John Macarthur in New South Wales bought his first merino sheep from a flock of Spanish merino sheep reared in South Africa. There were already some sheep in Australia brought by the early European settlers but they were reared primarily for meat. The merino was the start of the wool industry.
Wool takes off in Western Queensland
In the mid 1860s, 25,000 sheep were brought to Bowen Downs Station (part of which is now Nogo Station) and soon the station had its own shearing sheds, scouring sheds and washpool. Scouring (washing in hot water and detergent) enabled the wool to get a better price at market.
By the 1880s the wool business was booming and the Longreach district was already getting a reputation as being amongst the best wool growing districts in the colony of Queensland.
In the late 1890s, lower wool prices and drought devastated the industry. Sheep numbers dropped by half.

The shearers unite
Shearers had grown to be an important part of the wool industry but they didn't feel they were getting fair wages.
Here in Queensland, tensions ran high and, in 1891, the unions formed by the shearers held one of the first May Day marches in the world in Barcaldine. This famous event set the scene for the rise of the Australian Labor Party.
In 1895, the 'Scour and Boiling Down Works' was opened at West Longreach but was not a great success as the water at the Ilfracombe Scour made the wool much softer. The works closed in the 1920s and the West Longreach township was gradually deserted.
Drought and recovery
A devastating drought hit the Longreach area in 1902 and many sheep died. Over the next decade bores started to appear on the stations, creating a water source to help manage the unpredictable climate. Sheep numbers continued to grow, despite ups and downs in the wool price and frequent drought years. Sheep studs were established to meet the demand and Longreach became known as the wool capital of the world. By the 1940s, the sheep population of Queensland was a record 25 million.
Still the home of fine wool
Sheep are still raised throughout the Longreach region and the local merinos continue to have a reputation for the producing some of the finest wool anywhere. Wool continues to be one of Australia's most important exports, now worth $3 billion.
The amount of Australian wool sold in 2016 would make 869 million sweaters!
The average Australian wool farm is 3,100ha with 3000 sheep
There are 73 million sheep in Australia and 50,000 wool growers
90% of the world's fine wool for clothing is from Australia
80% of Australia's wool is exported to China.
Wool sites in Longreach and surrounding regions
Nogo Station, Longreach: The shearing sheds and shearers' quarters at Nogo date back to the 1920s and Nogo Station was renowned for its wool, getting top honours for the wool from its merino flocks. You can visit with Outback Pioneers experiences on Tuesday and Thursday for a shearing demonstration and to see the old sheds with their stencils and wool bales.
Isisford Woolshed: Isis Downs Woolshed was built in 1913 and is a heritage-listed shearing shed on the Isisford-Blackall Road. It is not normally open to the public.
Blackall Woolscour: You can visit the last remaining steam operated wool-washing plant in Australia. It's a living museum with a direct link to Australia's pioneering era. The machinery operates every day from May to the end of August. Guided tours operate on the hour, every hour, starting at 9.00 am and the last tour departing at 4.00 pm.
Barcaldine: The ghost gum or 'Tree of Knowledge' that marked the meeting place for the early shearers' unions is no more but has been replaced by a significant sculptural monument. The shearers' strike camp site is listed on the Queensland heritage register.
Wellshot Hotel, Ilfracombe: This old pub dating back to the 1890s is a great example of the Aussie outback hotel. It has early photographs, an outback hat collection and artifacts like the unique old timber wool press.

STRI-IKE! The bowling ball makes a direct hit, leaving the pins lying defeated on the ground amidst cheers from family and friends. Now it's my turn—and the bumpers come up. OK, so bowling is not my thing. I have other redeeming qualities, right? Well, that's what I tell myself.
Individuals with varying skill sets can participate in an escape room...And you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to escape. Actually, sometimes it takes a village to sweep through every book, search every nook (and don't forget the cranies!), and crack every code.
In addition, escape rooms generally aren't strenuous, but you do get to move around. Escape rooms are meant to be explored—and that means you get to touch, feel, and observe all elements in the room without needing to utilize impressive physical strength (sorry macho men). And with all that adrenaline racing through your veins, it'll be hard to keep still!
It's also not competitive within the group. Unlike bowling or mini-golf, members have a common goal. Those with a competitive spirit will still get their fix, but no one feels like they are pitted against each other.
As a result, escape rooms can also build a sense of unity between group members. This makes escape rooms not only a great experience for families, couples, and friends, they are a great option for team building between coworkers.
Members of the team are also continually engaged. It's a race against the clock to get out of the room before time runs out, so players are generally invested in every minute. This also creates a sense of heightened awareness and fosters communication between the group members.
You get the feeling of being immersed (like a movie), with the benefit of talking to group members. Well put together escape rooms create a sense that you have stepped into another realm—and no need to shush your partner with any observations, it benefits you to communicate!
Escape rooms will give you plenty of things to talk about after. Who solved the riddle with the candles? How did you know you needed to whisper into the lion's mouth? You'll be surprised to hear how your teammates were able to logic through their actions.
As a result, you get to learn (a lot) about your team members. Didn't know your date was good at riddles? Impressed that Mom knew how to pick that lock? Escape rooms allow players to get know each other on a whole new level.
Lastly, and probably the most important point to make, escape rooms are just good fun for everyone. And that's the whole point isn't it?

Uttarakhand is popularly known as 'dev bhumi' or 'land of gods' in Indian mythology and scriptures. The beauty, nobility and rich spirituality of this state are celebrated across the length and breadth of the country. But little do we know about the culinary treasure of Uttarakhand, or how the people out there in those hard, hilly terrains prepare their meals with very limited ingredients.The state is divided into two parts- Kumaon and Garhwal . Both of them have pretty distinctive tastes when it comes to food but at the same time, they share some common ingredients and cooking styles.
Kumaon offer foods that are organic and have wonderful health benefits. If you are trying to lose weight or detoxifying your body, then go for a health retreat in Kumaon. Or if that is not possible, then replicate the recipes in your own kitchen to make your stomach hale and hearty.
Till now we know Kumaon as a land of pristine Himalayan beauty, edgy rivers, and the hunting ground for Jim Corbett. Sadly, the various hotels and restaurants that are coming up in this tourist spot, serve the same 'tried and tested' Chinese, Indian and some Tibetan foods (momo, thukpa), and leading the authentic Kumaoni cuisine lost to the pressure of 'popular' demands.But if your interest is genuine then try to get invited in a traditional Kumaoni household and gorge on some delicious, simple and highly nutritious foods.
Rice and chapatti are the two staple foods in a typical Kumaoni diet. As people are pretty hard working there and lead a tough life, they don't have the luxury of having meals in every two hours, as per the popular notion!In morning, they have a hearty meal with rice, cucumber raita, salad, chapatti, urad (black lentil), gehet or chana (black gram) dal, aloo ke gutke, and chutney.Kumaoni people have an early and light dinner and during night, they don't prefer eating rice. So a dinner mainly consists of chapatti, dal, ghee and vegetables.
Various lentils, soya beans, red chillies, herbs and very little spices- these are the main ingredients to cook up a satisfying meal at a Kumaoni household.The main condiment for any Kumaoni brunch is various chutneys. Bhang or Cannabis seeds and pomegranate seeds are mainly used in chutney preparations.
There is a famous winter condiment called sana hua nimbu which is made from- radish, curb, lemons, and cannabis seeds, and do wonders to keep oneself worm during those chilly months.When it comes to sabzi, Kumaonis use organically produced fresh and local leaves and plants. You can have a highly nutritious and delectable sabzi made from leaves of nettle plants (shishun), chudkhani (black soya), bhatiya (white soya), spinach, and ras (an assortment of soyabean, gram and lentil).
Cereals like mandua and buckwheat are made use of making chapattis; and they are savored hot with sabzi or gur (jaggery)/ghee especially during winter.Curry is a favorite form of cooking vegetables in Kumaon, and mainly curd and lemon juices are applied to season the curry or jholi (as it is known locally).Though the region is steadily on a vegetable diet, there are some communities who eat meat of mutton and chicken, and this trend is growing rapidly across the area.
Kumaonis consume tea with lots of milk and sugar and drink it during several times in a day to keep them warm and energetic- thus making it almost a life-saving potion.Apart from that, there are types of locally brewed alcohol that you may find here.
In India, milk is the primal ingredient to make any sweets or dessert. But it's not easy to find milk in abundance, in hilly terrain. So in Kumaon, only in special occasions like a festival or at puja, liquid or condensed milk is used to cook kheer and sweets.Jhangora kheer is made from milk, sugar and home-grown cereal Jhangora.Ball mithai is another popular dessert, decorated with sugar balls and has khoya khir stuffing inside.Singodi is a unique sweet dish, wrapped with oak leaves and infused by condensed milk.
Aloo ke Gutke is probably the best known snack that you will get at various eateries in the every nuke and corner of Kumaon. Yummy potato wedges deep-fried with cumin seeds and local condiments like jamboo and jakhya, and finally garnished by coriander leaves.Another widely-admired kumaoni snack is Badeel- which is a diamond shaped deep-fried, chana daal mixture. And when it is served hot with garlic or coriander chutney, you may feel heavenly pleasure inside your mouth.

🟦 Alexandre CAVALIERE
Alexandre CAVALIERE was born in 1985 near Mons in Belgium. Born into a family of musicians, he grew up surrounded by instruments as toys. Early on, little Alexandre learned his rhythm by holding the snare drum of his father's orchestra. At 8 years old he regularly practices piano, drums and of course violin. It is in the learning of this last instrument that Alexandre best expresses his sense of rhythm, his qualities of improvisation and his great musical sensibility. Rocked by the melodies of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, the swing is essential to Alexandre as a musical evidence.
In March 1998, fate gives Alexandre a boost by placing Didier Lockwood and Babik Reinhardt on his way : "These two great musicians are then in Brussels for the Django d'Or." Alexandre, meanwhile, is rehearsing for an evening at the Royal Windsor Hotel with his father, who heads the band Jazzy Strings. Didier Lockwood, Babik Reinhardt and Frank Hagège to discover the talent that lies under the hands of this violinist.What was their surprise, pushing the door of the club, to discover that a 12-year-old was holding the violin! " Surprised by so much virtuosity and precocity, they decided to invite Alexandre to the Django d'Or in Brussels and then to Paris where the success is immediate … brilliant! It is the beginning of a beautiful adventure from which was born a first disc: "L'ALBUM" (Hebra records).
This young violin virtuoso quickly fulfilled his promise of success. While pursuing brilliantly his schooling, Alexandre connects trays of TVs, radios and the concerts with very noticed participations in particular to the Festivals of Antibes – Juan les Pins, Marciac, Samois-sur-Seine, Liège, Liberchies, Brosella, Maubeuge, at the Jazz Marathon in Brussels, or at the Belgian Django d'Or, French or the Eurojazz Awards, …
In addition, he conquered his audience on stage by performing at the Princess Grace Theater in Monaco, in the first part of Michel Jonasz at the Olympia, as guest of the National Orchestra on the Grand Place in Brussels, during the festival "Jazz Espoo" (Finland), … and lately, thanks to Dorado Schmitt, he made his premiere in New York, for the Django Reinhardt festival at Birdland.
He also met many musicians such as Bireli Lagrene, Dominique Dipiazza, Stochelo Rosenberg, Michel Jonasz, Roby Lakatos, Toots Thielemans, Richard Galliano, Eddy Louis, Dennis Chambers, Richard Bona, Dorado Schmitt … as well as Benoît Sourisse, André Charlier and Jean Wellers (the musicians of Didier Lockwood) with whom he recorded his second album "Nomades", which leads him to be heard in a more modern context, without departing from his natural swing.
But in the recent years, he has invested himself happily in more modern groups in which his talent knows new developments.
Also noteworthy is an appearance on a beach of Guy Cabay's latest album (2005), collaborations with Philip Catherine, fusion groups like Alka Celtes Air, Darwin Case and Musicazur, Fabrizio Cassol, Michel Herr and his tentette etc. ..
Alexandre Cavaliere and Jazzy Strings is a formation in which he has performed a lot, a group of lovers of gipsy music and two giants of jazz Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grapelli. This group created by Mario Cavaliere, runs since 1992 the biggest festivals in Europe (Juan-les-Pins, Nice, Marciac, Samois-sur-Seine, Helsinki …). It consists of Mathieu Chatelain on the rhythm guitar, Eloi Baudimont or Jean Wellers on the double bass and of course Mario Cavaliere on the solo guitar that allowed his son, Alexandre, to enter the closed circle of jazz ……

The sponsor must understand the case for change clearly enough have a detailed discussion about the challenges that created the need for a different way of operating. She should be confident enough to confront skeptics and close enough to the details to justify the approach selected and the reasons the alternatives were rejected.

Checking the health of Australia's vitamin market
Source: Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia), July 2014 – June 2015 (n=15,867).
Amid news that the Chinese market cannot get enough Australian-made vitamins and health supplements, the latest findings from Roy Morgan Research show that demand is also skyrocketing for these products in Australia.
In the 12 months to June 2015, 8.1 million Aussies 14+ (or 42% of the population) bought vitamins, minerals and/or supplements in any given six-month period — a substantial increase on the 6.6 million consumers (36%) who bought them in the year to June 2011.
Vitamins are especially popular with women, nearly half of whom (49%) buy them in an average six months, compared with 34% of men. Women aged 35-49 (55%) and 50-64 (53%) are the most likely to purchase these products, while men aged under 25 (14%) are far and away the least likely.
Purchased vitamins in the last 6 months: men vs women
As the number of Australians purchasing vitamins, minerals and supplements has grown, some striking trends have emerged in terms of where they are buying them. Most notable has been the increasing tendency to purchase these products from a chemist, rising from 44% of all vitamin-buyers in 2011 to 54% as of June 2015.
In contrast, the proportion of vitamin buyers who make their purchase at a supermarket has fallen from 33% to 28% over the same period, a decline primarily due to fewer people purchasing these products at Woolworths/Safeway.
Health-food stores (9%, down from 14%) and discount stores (2%, down from 3%) are also falling from favour among Aussie vitamin buyers.
Andrew Price, General Manager – Consumer Products, Roy Morgan Research, says:
"Despite ongoing medical debate about whether vitamins actually work, an increasing number of Australians are buying them, with chemists their favourite place of purchase. Chemists have long been the most popular place to buy vitamins, minerals and supplements, and this popularity is picking up even more as the market grows.
"Although there is no denying the convenience of picking up one's vitamins at the supermarket with the rest of the groceries, the proportion of consumers doing this has declined in recent years. Of course, supermarkets tend to stock a less diverse range of vitamins, minerals and supplements than chemists, so cannot always cater to consumers with specific needs.
"Our data shows that women are far more likely than men to buy these products, particularly women aged between 35 and 64. However brands wishing to woo this—or any other— demographic need to know more about them than just their age and gender. Factors such as attitudes to health and diet, family circumstances and socio-economic status, exercise participation and education all contribute to a consumer's vitamin-purchasing decisions, and any brand that tailors its marketing campaigns accordingly will be better placed for success."

18, Apr 2019, EDT. Welcome to the Macau economic statistics pages provided by the beta version of EconomyWatch.com's Econ Stats database.
Since opening up its locally-controlled casino industry to foreign competition in 2001, Macau has attracted tens of billions of dollars in foreign investment, transforming the territory into one of the world's largest gaming centers. Macau's gaming and tourism businesses were fueled by China''s decision to relax travel restrictions on Chinese citizens wishing to visit Macau. - In 2013, Macau's gaming-related taxes accounted for more than 85% of total government revenue. Macau''s economy slowed dramatically in 2009 as a result of the global economic slowdown, but strong growth resumed in 2010-13, largely on the back of tourism from mainland China and the gaming sectors. In 2013, this city of 607,500 hosted nearly 29.3 million visitors. Almost 64% came from mainland China. Macau''s traditional manufacturing industry has slowed greatly since the termination of the Multi-Fiber Agreement in 2005. China is Macau''s second largest goods export market, behind Hong Kong, and followed by the United States. In 2013, exports were US$1.1 billion, while gaming receipts were US$45.2 billion, an 18.6% increase over 2012. Macau''s economy expanded by 11.9% in 2013; although impressive, it was a slower growth rate than in previous years. Macau continues to face the challenges of managing its growing casino industry, money-laundering, and the need to diversify the economy away from heavy dependence on gaming revenues. Macau''s currency, the pataca, is closely tied to the Hong Kong dollar, which is also freely accepted in the territory.

Q: HTML5 drag and drop file upload to Java Servlet I am currently using Uploadify (Flash + Ajax) to the Servlet (Commons Upload with OWASP ESAPI overlay) with success, but I was wondering how I would go about building in HTML5 support, or rather HTML5 with Flash support.
I know how to get the HTML5 drag and drop working, but I can't quite figure out the mechanics of a Java Servlet connection and/or backend.

A:
I know how to get the HTML5 DnD working, but I can't quite figure out the mechanics of a Java Servlet connection and/or backend.

It's not different from when using a regular <form enctype="multipart/form-data">. All you need to do is to get that HTML5/JS code to send a multipart/form-data request with the dropped file, exactly the same kind of request as it would have been sent with a regular <input type="file"> field. I'll assume that you just can't figure out how to achieve exactly that with HTML5/JS.
You can utilize the new HTML5 File API, XHR2 FormData and XMLHttpRequestUpload APIs for this.
Here's a kickoff example of how your drop event handler should look like:
function dropUpload(event) {
    event.stopPropagation();
    event.preventDefault();

    var formData = new FormData();
    formData.append("file", event.dataTransfer.files[0]);

    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open("POST", "uploadServlet");
    xhr.send(formData);
}

That's it. This example assumes that the servlet is mapped on a URL pattern of /uploadServlet. In this example, the file is then available in Apache Commons FileUpload the usual way as a FileItem instance with a field name of file.

For more advanced stuff like attaching event handlers for monitoring the progress and like, checkout the following blogs:

*

*HTML5 Drag and Drop Upload and File API Tutorial

*HTML5 File Upload With Progress
I've played somewhat around it with the following SSCCE:
<!DOCTYPE html>

        <title>HTML5 drag'n'drop file upload with Servlet</title>

Drag and drop a file here...

and this UploadServlet utilizing the new Servlet 3.0 HttpServletRequest#getPart() API:
@MultipartConfig
@WebServlet("/uploadServlet")
public class UploadServlet extends HttpServlet {

    @Override
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        Part file = request.getPart("file");
        String filename = getFilename(file);
        InputStream filecontent = file.getInputStream();
        // ... Do your file saving job here.

        response.setContentType("text/plain");
        response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        response.getWriter().write("File " + filename + " successfully uploaded");
    }

    private static String getFilename(Part part) {
        for (String cd : part.getHeader("content-disposition").split(";")) {
            if (cd.trim().startsWith("filename")) {
                String filename = cd.substring(cd.indexOf('=') + 1).trim().replace("\"", "");
                return filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf('/') + 1).substring(filename.lastIndexOf('\\') + 1); // MSIE fix.
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
}

*How to upload files to server using JSP/Servlet?

A: You need multipart configuration such as:
@MultipartConfig(fileSizeThreshold = 1024 * 1024,
                 maxFileSize = 1024 * 1024 * 5,
                 maxRequestSize = 1024 * 1024 * 5 * 5)

In my case it works only with this configuration.


Den of Thieves (2018) | Movie News & Review | - Pop Movee - It's about MOVIES!
The movie opens with a pre-dawn sequence involving an armoured delivery vehicle. From this moment, the story is playing with Crime genre convention and, in doing so, messing with viewer expectation. Without belittling the rest of the movie, if the intrigue and tension of the opening sequence had been maintained for its entire running time, DEN OF THIEVES would have been a five star event! It's pretty clear who the bad guys are, but Gudegast manages to lure the viewer into their plan and make Schreiber's Merrimen and his crew feel both authentic and sympathetic. He and fellow scribe Paul Scheuring's story cleverly use the character's backgrounds to paint them as sophisticated criminals who operate under a specific set of rules; innocent people don't get hurt and law enforcement are only engaged if they draw their weapons. Gudegast also throws doubt in the viewers mind by immediately establishing Butler's O'Brien as a lawman who seems better suited to the Wild West of America's past. His ways are unorthodox by modern standards and it's clear he's on the radar of the Police who are in charge of maintaining ethics and making sure the "Cops" don't become the bad guys. Gudegast makes a real point of establishing O'Brien's modus operandi. In an early scene, while illegally interrogating a suspect, O'Brien takes great pride in threatening the handcuffed man by telling him that he - O'Brien - and his team of Deputies ARE the "Bad Guys"!
Besides Butler's O'Brien, the other highlight is Pablo Schreiber's Ray Merrimen. Schreiber is one of those actors that people know they've seen him in something, but just can't put their finger on what movie or TV show it was. ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, AMERICAN GODS, LAW & ORDER: SVU, WEEDS, THE WIRE… He's had recurring roles in all of them scored an Emmy nomination for his role as George 'Pornstache' Mendez in ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK back in 2015. It's the sign of a genuinely talented actor that they can disappear into a character so far that they are unrecognizable from one role to the next, but Schreiber does it extremely well. In DEN OF THIEVES, he's a lot leaner and muscled than previous roles and this goes some way to explaining why it's hard to pick him as Merrimen, a professional criminal who's determined to pull off a heist big enough to allow him, his crew and their families to disappear into anonymity for the rest of their lives. Butler and Schreiber are well supported by their colleagues, but only O'Shea Jackson Jr., as Merrimen's driver Donnie, could be considered a genuine co-star. Jackson Jr. plays an important role throughout the film's 140 minute running time, as he finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place on more than one occasion as O'Brien's team circle Merrimen and his crew.
Behind the scenes, DEN OF THIEVES benefits greatly from the work of Oscar-winning Film Editor Joel Cox. Cox worked with Clint Eastwood for many years and won his Academy Award for Eastwood's highly-acclaimed 1992 revisionist Western UNFORGIVEN. More recently, he has worked with Denis Villeneuve and shared editing duties on AMERICAN SNIPER. For DEN OF THIEVES, he shares credit with his son David Cox and Nathan Godley, who worked with Cox Sr. as an Assistant Editor on Villeneuve's PRISONERS. The trio's combined work on DEN OF THIEVES is excellent, creating the variable pacing needed for both the set pieces and the character exchanges to create tension and drama for the viewer. Their editing creates a documentary feel to the film which is reinforced by Terry Stacey's cinematography. DEN OF THIEVES utilizes a lot of Steadicam photography, allowing Gudegast and Stacey to keep pace with the action as it unfolds. The benefit to the viewer is that they feel as if they are part of the action, not just a distant observer of staged events. That is the success of DEN OF THIEVES as a movie. The viewer feels close to the action and, therefore, close to the story. The film's use of visual effects is limited and its reliance upon genuine action works to its advantage, as well as the viewer's. Christian Gudegast has created a great crime drama that has everything fans of the genre would want on the bucket list but plays broadly enough to be of interest to the more casual moviegoers looking for a well-crafted, gritty crime drama.

A: $dp=mysql_select_db('test');
mysql_query('SET NAMES UTF8');
$sql = mysql_query('select * from users');

while($res = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){
$users[$res['username']] = array();
$users[$res['username']]['image'] = $res['profile_picture'];
$users[$res['username']]['email'] = $res['email'];
}

I've a database called test and table called users with fields(username, email, profile_picture), I'm searching for usernames to have the email and the image(look like facebook search).
This array will generate you the array you want from the database automatically, just search for user name, change in it to match your needs.

Although it may be seen by most lower middle class cynics (initially myself included) as nothing more than a superfluous 'bonus' room for 'well to do' families with far too much cash and too much spare time to fritter away, a good home extension can become a central area in your home. In this instance, the conservatory is one form of house extension that has become extremely popular throughout the world (whether you live in Manchester or Madrid) and which has for decades served many different purposes.
The conservatory is the most common, inexpensive form of home extension and can be all things to all people. What might be seen by some as a token home extension that will be left to gather dust along with the gym equipment you promised you'd start using in January and the lounge furniture that's no longer fit for purpose, can actually be an incredibly useful room which will reflect the personality of its owner. It's also of course worth taking into account that regardless of how you personally feel about a conservatory, it will add value to your property. These are constructions that are built to last; they require very little maintenance and can completely transform your home.
The modern conservatory was first seen (as we know it today) in the 1700's when it was the fashion to grow fruits at home, the structure as it is known today is not too far removed from those initial designs. Today the term conjures different connotations for different people but in general it evokes a vibe of ornate, Victorian glamour and this is the style that has held fast over conservatory designs for decades with good reason.
Most decent contractors will offer a bespoke service that will allow you to build to your exact desires, but that's not to say it isn't worth looking at designs that are already available. These designs will not only be cheaper than a bespoke design of your own, but are home extensions that have been tried and tested across the UK from Monmouth to Manchester and everywhere in between. The most popular traditional design is the 'Edwardian' and as the name suggests it's characterised by sharp edges and heavily detailed fittings. The 'gable' is another popular design, it has a pitched roof and is specifically engineered to attract and reflect the most sunlight, perfect for indoor sunbathers. The 'Victorian' variation meanwhile is generally larger, with an angled roof and the 'lean-to' variation will offer a flat roof. Which variant to choose it's really down to the homeowners taste and what is available to them both price wise and logistically in terms of space.
The modern conservatory can be used in any number of ways. Many families choose to use them as dining rooms or secondary lounge spaces with the natural light afforded by the room's windows offering a wonderful energy saving opportunity. Others might use it as a workplace of sorts or as an office and if the room is large enough it can even serve multiple purposes.
The most important (and some might say controversial) development in the world of home extensions over the past decade has been the use of aluminium. It's in many ways quite shocking that the development didn't happen sooner as aluminium is (by its very nature) both inexpensive and incredibly lightweight, making it perfect building material for these home extensions. A good recent example would be an aluminium canopy at a very large pub in Manchester where the expenses saved by building the outdoor smoking area with aluminium instead of wood (which would be a more conventional choice for a pub) allowed the owner to invest in a brand new gaming area.
The extension isn't any higher than the roof of the property.
The extension has a maximum height of 4 metres.
The extension must only be one story.
The extension must not reach beyond the back of the property by any more than 3 metres.
Aki Hashimoto is a blogging homeowner whose neighbour wishes to have a conservatory built. She advised them that if looking for home extensions, Manchester like many other areas, has regulations on the height and size of the extension that you can build.

Woman with cancer says she'll have to get two buses and a train to The Christie after 'lifeline' 130 service axed
'It's ludicrous. It's life and death'
Rebecca Day
Paul Anderson, 68, and his partner Lori Cummings, 66.
A woman being treated for cancer at The Christie has slammed a bus company for axing the 'lifeline' service that gets her to the hospital.
Lori Cummings, who has esophageal cancer, has been catching the 130 from her home in Macclesfield to the centre in Withington for chemotherapy since early December.
She is due to start radiotherapy at the start of February.
It will involve Lori travelling to south Manchester five days a week for five weeks.
She said she was devastated to hear the Arriva service, which runs from Macclesfield to East Didsbury, will be scrapped from January 26.
Lori, 66, said: "It's depressing. Everybody is going to be in the same position. I can't be the only one.
"I do drive, but I am nervous. You're not sure how you are going to be affected by the IV drip or the radiotherapy.
"I can't expect someone to drive me every day.
The 130 service to Macclesfield is due to be cut at the end of January
"I'm going to have a peg to feed me. I'm struggling to eat anything.
"They are planning to build a Christie centre in Macclesfield, but that will be in 18 months. You can't tell your cancer to wait."
Lori said she will probably have to get a bus to Macclesfield train station, then a train to Stockport, followed by a bus to Withington.

It will mean the journey is longer and more expensive.
Her partner Paul Anderson will not be able to give Lori a lift as he doesn't drive.

Paul, a retired electrician said: "It's ludicrous. It's life and death."
Arriva said the decision to cut the 130 service was due to dwindling numbers of passenger numbers.
A spokesman said: "Passenger numbers have been falling for a number of years and Arriva have made several changes to attempt to make the service sustainable, unfortunately passenger numbers have continued to decrease.
"Therefore, the 130 is no longer commercially viable, low passenger numbers and increasing running costs means that this service will be withdrawn."

Say no to plastic
The culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, Oceania Cruises, has promised to eliminate millions of plastic water bottles per year through a new partnership with Vero Water.
This green initiative is a part of the brand's OceaniaNEXT enhancements and the company's larger Sail & Sustain environmental programme.
As part of its OceaniaNEXT initiative, the line's ships will be outfitted with Vero Water's still and sparkling water distillation systems starting in April. Installation of the Vero Water systems will ultimately eliminate an estimated three million plastic bottles per year. Vero Water's uses dishwasher-safe glass bottles, along with its proprietary nano-purification system that has five separate layers of filters.
Vero Water is used around the globe by hospitality brands such as Ritz Carlton, JW Marriott, Kimpton, MGM Hotels & Resorts and Hyatt.
Princess Cruises ready for Japan
After a multi-million pound, two-week overhaul, Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess is ready for its Japanese voyage. The ship now includes enhanced entertainment capabilities and an upgraded spa and gym.
Diamond Princess will be based in Japan throughout 2019-20 – including during the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games – with round-trip departures from Tokyo and Kobe sailing to 50 destinations in 11 countries. The voyages will take guests to sites renowned for features and events such as spring flowers, summer festivals and fall foliage.
Additions to the ship include a Princess luxury bed created in collaboration with Dr. Michael Breus, a board-certified sleep expert. Diamond Princess also features the Izumi Bath – the largest open-air Japanese bath and garden complex at sea – a sushi restaurant and traditional Japanese entertainment.
The refit was completed in Singapore and continues Princess' 'Come Back New Promise' campaign, with GBP 330m (USD 428m) being invested across the line's fleet of 17 ships.
AI on board
MSC Cruises has employed AI technology to enhance the guest experience. ZOE, a virtual personal cruise assistant, will launch on MSC Bellissima and will then be available on each following new ship, including the upcoming MSC Grandiosa in 2019 and MSC Virtuosa in 2020.
Developed in partnership with HARMAN International – a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, ZOE is a voice-enabled AI tool that can speak seven languages, answer hundreds of questions and provide information about on board services, guidance and suggestions or help to book a service. Guests say "OK ZOE" to activate; the voice recognition feature makes it easy for everyone to control and access information using only voice commands.
"Identified voice assistants and AI as the way to meet this need"
Gianni Onorato, MSC Cruises' CEO commented: "This was just the starting point in providing a connected cruise experience. There was a core guest need to be met, which was to find answers to common questions in a quick and easy way, enabling guests to make the most of their vacation.
"We researched the latest connected technologies and identified voice assistants and AI as the way to meet this need, and the work on ZOE began."

A once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity is up for grabs courtesy Royal Caribbean International. Their spokesman said: "We're looking for an adrenaline junkie who is not only hungry for adventure, but also has a unique ability to capture a moment and tell a story in a simple social media post.

In past articles, we've delved into some amazing berries. That includes when we offered up some interesting facts about cranberry terpenes. This time around, New York City mixologist Matt Chavez showed us how goji berry terpenes can go into a cocktail recipe. Using our Goji OG terpene profile, the 2016 and 2017 Most Imaginative Bartender semi-finalist showed us just how creative he can get working with this strain.
As a strain, Goji OG offers up both spicy and sweet hints that often resemble licorice and herbs. When consumed, the taste of licorice joins a fruity mix of cherries and strawberries, leaving a delicious aftertaste,to say the least. Chavez, who works for one of the Top 50 Bars in the World, according to San Pellegrino's annual list, and other edible creatives have to work with the numerous terpenes in Goji OG's profile. They include prominent amounts of limonene, myrcene and linalool as well as several others in lesser quantities.
With a flavorful variety to work with, Chavez opted for something that would be easy to drink. For this cocktail, he settled on a smash. Chavez's smash focuses on introducing additional berries to the mix, with additional fruit coming in the form of lemon juice. To give the drink more body, he used cane sugar. Simple syrup will work as well if you're in a pinch.
On the boozier side of the recipe, Chavez went with one of his favorites, yellow Chartreuse, for its particularly strong honey notes. Meanwhile, to create a split base, he went with fino sherry and gin. He added fino sherry for its acidity as well as its other components. "It has a touch of salinity, so it adds a little bit of that saltiness split with gin which has strong herbal quality." To bring the drink together, Chavez muddles the ingredients in a large rocks glass before topping with crushed ice before straining the cocktail over it. He then garnishes the Gojo OG terpene on top as well as in the cocktail itself.
After working with Goji OG, Matt Chavez is a firm believer in its ability to be a crowd pleaser. It'll have mouths watering once people get a whiff.
If you'd like to make your own Goji OG inspired smash, follow Matt Chavez's creation down below. Pick up your Goji OG from us while everything else can be bought at your local stores.
Garnish with fresh raspberries and 2 extra drops of terpene.

Your inferred data reveals a lot more than you'd think.
That Facebook knows more about our virtual lives than we do is, at this point, no alarming secret. But many, if not most, are still left wondering how the social media giant obtains this information.
On a quest to "open up the programming and show people how these things really work," New York-based creative studio DATA X launched a Google Chrome extension this January called "Data Selfie," a program that enables users to monitor and analyze their activity.
The full scope of Facebook's tracking power remains unclear, but DATA X's program yields information on a user's passive activity, encompassing metrics that Facebook openly admits to measuring such as scroll times, duration of views, and websites visited among other patterns that help infer user behavior.
The 'Data Selfie' Chrome extension is open-source and free; and where privacy is concerned, the company assures users that data tracked by the browser extension is not stored on DATA X servers (though parts of the data are sent to servers to run prediction algorithms without ID or personal information).

Abuses in data mining technology (as well as Facebook's influential hand in the industry) have become subjects of international concern following the 2016 US presidential election, subsequently spurring a media storm on filter bubbles and the proliferation of fake news.
In 2015, after Facebook launched an education portal on the mechanics of its targeted advertising packages, the Washington Post reported on the extent of the platform's insights, which includes access to user credit lines, email services, and even the length of time users spent living in a specific household.
The studio notes that their Data Selfie program "only shows a glimpse" of the information Facebook is gathering, emphasizing that the platform's ability to track offline web activity is a major point of concern.
"[I]t is important to note that during the 2016 election, the Trump campaign used a massive data effort led by the firm Cambridge Analytica to use personality profiling to target ads to voters," DATA X said. "These practices could become common-place in a Trump administration [that attempts] to control messaging and influence public opinion."
With 'Data Selfie,' the studio is hoping to level the playing field.
