The ongoing Indian farmers protest enters its 24th day
Farmer's agitation enters day 24 as the deadlock between the Farmers' Unions and the Government continues
The on-going protest of the farmers against the introduction of the 3 controversial farm laws by the government entered its 24th day today. The center of this protest is the Haryana Punjab border where thousands of farmers have camped for more than three weeks now. In a recent development, it has been stated that apart from stepping up their agitation, they are even prepared to celebrate Republic Day, which is held on 26th January every year, with a tractor rally.
On Friday, yesterday, PM Modi, spoke to the farmers of MP. He addressed them through the virtually held "Kisan Kalyan Sammelan" that was telecast in the district headquarters of MP as well as 23,000 villages of India. During his talk, which lasted one hour, Prime Minister Modi tried to explain how the introduction of the three laws would help improve the lives of the farmers. He went on to add that the Government was committed to the well-being and welfare if the farmers. Towards the end of his speech he said that although everything was being done keeping the progress of the farmers in mind, which he had tried to put across if they were still not convinced and had any concerns regarding the bills, he would not hesitate in bowing his head, folding his hands and listening to them.
Indian farmers protest
The statement issued by the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee, after Narendra Modi's address to the MP farmers, voiced a lot of displeasure and clearly showed how upset they were. It was mentioned in the statement that the PM had linked the farmers' agitation with a political manifesto of the opposition parties and this they considered as an open attack on the farmers and the purpose of the protests. They said that Narendra Modi had detracted from the agenda of repealing the three Farm Acts that the protesting farmers wanted, but had instead stooped to the level of representing himself as a party leader ignoring the larger interest of the country as a whole.
Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar has said they are hopeful of resolving the on-going farmers' stir before the New Year begins.

Interstellar medium properties and star formation in nearby galaxies
Theses / Dissertations
PhD / Doctoral
We study the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) of nearby galaxies from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) by analyzing the shapes of their HI emission velocity profiles. We apply a stacking method to increase the signal-to-noise (S/N) of the profiles and obtain what we call a super profile. We quantify all the relevant systematic effects that could confuse the interpretation of the shapes of the super profiles. We identify a sample of 22 galaxies from THINGS that are mostly free from these effects and analyze their super profile shapes. We derive super profiles from the entire HI disks of galaxies, inside and outside the optical radius r25, as a function of radius, column density, and star formation rate surface density. The super profiles can be described as the sum of a narrow and a broad Gaussian components. We associate the narrow component with the cold HI phase of the ISM and the broad component with the warm HI phase of the ISM. We find that the shapes of the super profiles correlate with star formation indicators such as metallicity, HK and far-UV near-UV colors. We also find that the mass fraction of the narrow component tends to be higher inside the optical radius r25. In addition, the velocity dispersions of the narrow and broad components decline exponentially with radius for virtually all the analyzed galaxies. Moreover, the flux ratio or mass ratio of the narrow and broad components, which serves as an estimate of the fraction of HI gas in the cold phase, tends to decrease with radius. Our results also show that regions having higher narrow component fractions usually corresponds to regions of higher HI or total (HI+H2) gas column density. Furthermore, the velocity dispersions of the broad and narrow components increase with increasing column density and star formation rate surface density. We have also investigated the physical mechanisms that can explain the observed width of the super profiles. These are supernova explosions (SNe), thermal effects from ultra-violet (UV) photons and magnetorotational instability (MRI). We find that SNe can explain the observed width of the super profile within the star forming disk (r25) and our data implies a supernova efficiency between 0.01 and 0.1. In the outer disk, the observed width of the super profiles can be attributed to thermal effects from extragalactic background UV photons. Finally, in most cases, MRI is not sufficient to explain the width of the super profile.

According to the catalogue of the retrospective "Salvador Dalí" at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, this work should be accompanied by an audio track based on a text by Raymond Roussel, adapted by the painter, who says: "Quelle heure est-il? C'est l'heure de l'Angélus. Alors, garçon, apportez-moi un arlequin!" (What time is it? It is the hour of the Angelus. So, boy, bring me a harlequin!) ("Salvador Dalí: Retrospective, 1920-1980".

Q: gvim: file list on split window, open in top screen I have a split window open in GVIM.
On the bottom window I have a text file open.
This text file contains a list of files (with full path).
What I would like is a command so that according to my cursor position on a file name in the bottom window, that file will open on the top window. At the moment, when I press g-f it opens it in the bottom window instead of the file list.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I managed to solve it with a macro (copy line, ctrl-w, up, :e and paste). Any better suggestions are welcome!

A: You could use a mapping like this one:
nnoremap <F7> :let cf = expand("<cfile>") <bar> wincmd k <bar> execute "e " . cf<CR>

*

*save the filename under the cursor in a variable,

*move the cursor to the window above,

*edit the file.

But what problem are you trying to solve?

American popular culture, Audrey Hepburn, author G. A. De Forest, Blake Edwards, Buddy Ebsen, film review, George Peppard, Japanese comic character, Mickey Rooney, movie review, Patricia Neal, Peter Sellers movies, Sixties morality, sophisticated comedy, Truman Capote, wild child
Movie Review: "Breakfast At Tiffany's" (1961)
In film on September 16, 2014 at 8:52 am
I have a confession to make. Until this afternoon I had never seen more than random snippets of Breakfast At Tiffany's — but I have just watched the last hour and a half of it on the MGM Classic channel. I'm hoping the original novel by Truman Capote was better. I might be missing something with this one — which I keep thinking must be considered a classic for a reason — but I've never been a fan of glossy Blake Edwards movies, even the massively popular Peter Sellers ones (to my mind nowhere near as good as his earlier British-made comedies). This comes across like it's trying to be a sophisticated comedy but falls way short of those in the Thirties-Forties, and even Pretty Woman, the closest I can draw as a modern equivalent.
There are several glaring shortcomings for viewers attuned to modern sensibilities, the most well-known one today probably being Mickey Rooney's inexplicable portrayal of a Japanese tenant as a four-foot-something, conspicuously buck-toothed, four-eyed geek — presumably intended to be a comic turn but just highly embarrassing. Another is a scene where Holly describes herself as "fat as a pig" — when you can practically see her skeleton through her dress, every bit of 90 to 100 pounds hanging on her 5ft-8 frame. Yet another huge allowance has to be made for Belgian-born Audrey Hepburn, 32, playing a 20-year-old backwoods Southerner while coming across as a refined Englishwoman, as she did in all her films. George Peppard, quite a sought-after leading man in the Sixties and then not again till The A Team on tv, is Holly's suitor. An impoverished "rider" (writer) who dresses in a conventional suit like a prep school debutant, he is supported financially by Patricia Neal as his cougar until he decides to "help" Holly to change from a self-defined wild child every bit as revolting as Daisy Clover (Natalie Wood) in that film and become herself. Buddy Ebsen is Holly's much older ex-husband, showing up to embarrass Holly in that character's only genuine moment in her New York City incarnation. Patricia (soon award-winning in Hud) and Buddy (seamlessly wedging this role inbetween Davy Crockett's buddy George and The Beverly Hillbillies' Jed Clampett) give the best performances, in fact the only two bright spots in the whole thing as far as I could see — at least character-focused and moving, while the two central characters fail to demonstrate clear motives or even generate sympathy.
It was a struggle to get through what I did see, partly because so slow moving — but mainly because I found the dominant character of Holly Golightly/Lula-Mae (Audrey Hepburn) insufferable. She was selfish, shallow and a materialistic social-climber. The last straw was when she dumps her cat in a strange area of New York City, in the rain — leaving her dumped boyfriend Paul (whom she calls Fred) to look for him. Far from the "sweet bundle of neuroses" one reviewer describes her as, I would place her at least two steps worse off into the destructive manic-depressive category, with narcissistic tendencies and violent impulses. It didn't help my perception that the character reminds me very much of a woman I've known — who didn't miraculously turn herself around on the spot as Holly does at the end of the movie, but is still basically the same person in her mid fifties, still clueless about how to behave with simple consideration for others.
Enough to say that the Moon River refrain running through the film is the highlight, not Audrey's pedestrian, unmusical, unexpressive rendition of it. By the way, West Side Story is another all-time great from 1961 (and coincidentally similarly set in The Big Apple) I've never been able to bring myself to watch: yet another of those examples where the music is better than the movie, as was so often the case in the Sixties, when screen composers of evocative themes were admittedly at a towering peak of quality.

A: I experienced this same error after my hosting company updated our PHP version from 7.0.x to 7.1.x. They assumed that since it was a minor update, it should be compatible with previous versions. They were wrong: here's a list of the incompatibilities from the migration page.
In this particular case code that would previously throw a warning about the lack of parameters for a function call is now throwing the fatal error in the OP's question.
The solution is obviously to provide the appropriate parameters as the other answers have indicated.

A: In php 7 instead of:
    public function register($name, $surname, $username, $password, $email)
{
...

use:
public function register($name = null, $surname = null, $username = null, $password = null, $email = null)
{
...

A: For anyone who encountered this error or something similar, the answer below works!
I encountered this error when trying to get an older version of WordPress WooCommerce to run on PHP 7.2. Lol, I know.
The WooCommerce Product Edit Screen was blank with the error below (which broke the product tabs)
Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function product_custom_tab::product_tab_options(), 0 passed in wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 286 and exactly 1 expected in /wp-content/plugins/woo-product-tab/includes/product_custom_tab.php:64 Stack trace: #0 wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(286):

When going to line 64 of product_custom_tab.php.
I changed
public function product_tab_options($product_type)

to
public function product_tab_options($product_type = null)

And it worked!
Thanks to the contributors below! You really made my day. Thanks for being here. Thank you!
Bytw: I tried to post this as a comment, but it wouldn't let me, so I posted this as an answer instead.

A: Your method needs 5 arguments, you only pass 2: User->register('ds', 'dsssssss')
Edit this line in Register.php:
$user->register($username, $password)

to
$user->register($name, $surname, $username, $password, $email)

Additionally you have this line twice $stmt->bindParam(":password", $password);

A: Encountered the same issue. Turns out the hosting company had updated the php version. i just added another parameter to the array and gave it a value of null

A: In case anyone finds this issue with PHP 8 randomly throwing errors like these (even when using the functions correctly) :

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught ArgumentCountError: time() expects exactly 0 arguments, 1 given in blablabla:15

(that was calling the date function without a second argument)
or

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught ArgumentCountError: is_dir() expects exactly 1 argument, 0 given in blablabla:15

(and that was using is_dir with exactly a 1 non-null argument)
In some cases seems to be caused by Zend Opcache. Might be a bug, so try disabling it :
Check (e.g. for fedora/centos with remi packages)
for zts-php

/etc/php-zts.d/10-opcache.ini

just php

/etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini (regular php)

and change
opcache.enable_cli = 0
for cli usage, and/or
opcache.enable = 0
I was working (zts-php CLI) with code included within a closure, and got really weird behaviour executing it right after i changed any code included there. The following executions worked fine, generating lots of confusion !
After disabling opcache, everything works as normal, every single time.

Marcia Forbes: Disrespecting Women (And Men) in Jamaica
By Marcia Forbes, PhD
CJ Contributor
The following is the second excerpt in Caribbean Journal from Marcia Forbes' book, Music, Media & Adolescent Sexuality in Jamaica . The research-based book examines relationships between teens and TV, in particular through the music videos they watch. Findings are based on the participation of about 550 Jamaican teenagers. The book explores issues of sex and sexuality and how these relate to questions of identity – self, social and sexual.
Disrespecting Women (And Men)
Among adolescents the most contentious aspect of music videos was the lyrics. Invariably and spontaneously participants mainly focused on dancehall lyrics and especially those from Vybz Kartel. Dancehall lyrics were variously described as disgusting, disrespectful, degrading or derogatory. Interestingly these expressions were used by female as well as male interviewees and by adolescents of all ages.
Comments related to the ways in which lyrics spoke about women as well as men. Several girls were offended by the majority of dancehall songs and the ways they described and objectified women. I Want It Now, the 11 year old upper middle income interviewee, indicated that she did not like Kartel's lyrics. In response to the query, "Any of his lyrics?", she retorted with disgust, "All of his lyrics". With probing as to what about the lyrics she did not like, she responded, "he talks about girls in a way that I don't like", explaining that she was "disgusted" by these lyrics.
The older girls were more specific about what they did not like. Brash Girl, the just turned 13 years of age inner city resident, as her nom de plume suggests, was self-confident with the potential to be loud perhaps even vulgar. She was very sexually aware. In this light, her views about some of Kartel's lyrics bear significance. Despite admitted admiration for this DJ, explaining that "once you get to know him as a friend, he's a nice person", she too used the word "disgusted" to describe her feelings towards some of his lyrics.
She was offended by his reference to "tight pu##y gyal [tight vagina girl]" and the contrast he drew between them and other girls whose vaginas "placka like mud" (mixing onomatopoeia and simile with reference to the noise he felt vaginas with lax walls made). She felt Kartel disrespected girls "'cause him talk 'bout nuff [because he talked about many] girls…and I'm a female myself so I gwein [am going to] feel a way [feel badly]".
To a very large extent the focus group girls were highly critical of Kartel's lyrics. One described his Tek Buddy song as "promoting sexual violence towards women and it promotes rape." Another saw it as giving males "the OK to use force to get what dem [they] really want…advocating rape."
Ms Goody Goody, the 17 year old upper middle income interviewee, felt that Jamaican singers "degrade women more than the American singers". Noting, "like how we [Jamaican singers] speak about women vagina, like you hole [vagina] big…" It was not only girls who objected to the ways in which some lyrics disrespected females, in particular with reference to derogatory comments about their vaginas. Mr Dance Teacher, the 13 year old lower income interviewee who lived with both parents, also took issue with this.
He described it as "nastiness" when lyrics made reference to "you private area, when them call it certain words in the song". Other boys spoke out as well. Comments such as these and several others emphasized the ways in which many DJs objectified women, making them the sum total of either their vaginas in particular or their physical bodies in general. Girls largely objected to this, but not always. Some felt validated and highly entertained.

In early February Washington D.C. attorney David Messerschmitt was stabbed to death in a DC hotel by someone he met on craigslist. Police say that 21-year-old Jamyra Gallmon committed the murder during a botched robbery. Mr. Messerschmitt was expecting a male visitor since his craigslist ad was looking for other men.
After her arrest, Gallmon spoke to police. She admitted to going to the hotel that night with the intention of robbing the victim. According to the court documents, Gallmon said she walked into the hotel room and quickly turned to walk out when Messerschmitt got off the bed and grabbed her. Gallmon told police this caused a flashback to a memory of when she was assaulted.
At that point, the suspect told police that Messerschmitt started fighting with her. She pulled a knife, according to the court documents, and stabbed the victim seven times, including one wound that went through his heart.
This is another criminal defense that sounds like it's coming from a child making up stories about who broke the lamp.
Also arrested was 19-year-old Dominique Johnson and has been charged with conspiracy to commit robbery.
Mr. Messerschmitt was married to a wife that he's now left behind. I don't care whatever your sexual orientation is but if you're using craigslist to meet someone for extracurricular activities you're taking a big risk with your safety.
My prayers and condolences do go out to the friends and family of Mr. Messerschmitt.
UPDATE 5/31/2015: This past week both Gallmon and Johnson pleaded guilty to their roles in Mr. Messerschmitt's murder. In the plea prosecutors are only seeking 18 to 25 years for Gallmon on second degree murder charges.
Johnson was released on bond and both will be sentenced in August.
UPDATE 8/25/2015: Gallmon was sentenced to 24 years behind bars while Johnson received a 6 month sentence.


Dan Goodfellow had double reason to celebrate at the British National Diving Cup in Plymouth.
The 22-year-old Meldreth-based diver has dropped down from the 10m platform to the 3m springboard to prolong his career after struggling with injuries.
Goodfellow, who won bronze with Tom Daley at the Rio Olympics, has joined up with Jack Laugher, who took 3m gold with Chris Mears in Brazil.
Goodfellow and Laugher have only been training together since the autumn, and on their competitive synchro debut scored 387.99 points to take top spot in the standings.
"We didn't have any performance-related goals, we just wanted to go out there and get some experience, learn about each other and see what we need to work on for future events such as that London World Series," said Goodfellow.
On the second day of competition, Goodfellow, who is now based in Leeds, stamped his authority on the springboard events to earn his first British individual title.
The pick of his dives was a forward four-and-a-half somersaults, worth 85.50, as he claimed the crown with 446.10 to be a clear winner.
"I'm really happy," said Goodfellow. "The morning [in qualifying] was a bit shaky and I've had a bit of inconsistency on my hurdles.
"It wasn't just two people fighting for that title – there are so many good divers now and we're all doing the big dives, all the 3½s and the front 4½ as well, so you just can't hold back.
Fellow former Cambridge Dive Team member Ben Cutmore was also in the medals.
The 15-year-old won a silver medal in the 10m platform synchro event with partner Lucas Thomson, with Daley and new partner Matty Lee earning the gold medal.


Amongst the most widespread electrical wiring concerns is regarding how to wire a switch. Even though using switches at your home is kind of straightforward, wiring 1 may well not be that quick for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will find different types of switches, but for this instance, let's say that you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly prevalent change (and also the most basic).
You will find 3 shades of wires inside of a normal single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and link them within the terminal screws - just one on top rated as well as other to the bottom screw with the switch. The white wire serves for a source of uninterrupted electricity and is also normally connected to your light colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the environmentally friendly wire to the ground screw of your respective change.
These ways would generally be enough to create a normal swap perform without having a problem. Nevertheless, in case you aren't self-confident which you can attain the endeavor adequately and safely and securely you better permit the professionals do it in its place. After all, there is certainly a rationale why this process is without doubt one of the most typical electrical wiring inquiries questioned by a lot of people.
For a few motive, ways to wire a ceiling fan can be one among quite possibly the most popular electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this endeavor, you need to use one change for your single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it truly is only a make a difference of connecting the black wire on the ceiling fan for the black wire of your swap. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire need to be related for the black wire on the switch as well.
You will find motives why these are typically one of the most usually questioned electrical wiring thoughts. Just one, numerous consider it really is straightforward to do, and two, they are the prevalent electrical responsibilities at home. But then you definately mustn't set your security at risk inside your aim to economize. The stakes could even be substantially larger for those who attempt to cut costs and do an electrical wiring position devoid of sufficient understanding or expertise.

Q: How to track changes in array through all the tabs? I have MainActivity.java and 3 tabs via tabbed activity (InfoActivity, PlotActivity, MapActivity).
In MainActivity.java I'm getting some information (like GPS, SignalStrength, etc.) to array and I want to use these data in all activities. How could it be done?

A: Don't use TabActivity, it has been deprecated a long time ago. Instead use a BottomNavigationView with Fragment's. Then you can use a shared ViewModel scoped to your Activity to share data.
First setup the BottomNavigationView and turn your info, plot and map activities into fragments. Then read up on how to use ViewModel. There's a whole section on how to share data between your fragments.


Conwy jobseekers have collected almost 200 qualifications as part of hospitality and customer service training schemes run by award-winning CAIS Social Enterprises.
Participants from council-backed Crew-it and EU-funded At-Your-Service joined programme leaders and special guests at Station Court in Colwyn Bay to collect certificates and celebrate their successes.
Under the two schemes, a total of 82 people have been given training and practical work experience by the award-winning team behind the popular Porter's Coffee Shop and Bistro on the town's Station Road.
Thanks to support from Conwy County Borough Council's Community and Enterprise Development Scheme, over the last three years Crew-it helped 50 people get work-ready, got 25 into jobs, and supported the attainment of 166 work-related qualifications.
At-Your-Service – which was funded by the European Social Fund through the Welsh Government, as part of the Active Inclusion Fund managed by WCVA – delivered 11 new roles, 30 qualifications and 5 volunteer posts.
The programmes, which both targeted the tourism and hospitality sectors, provided opportunities for people furthest from the jobs market to overcome barriers to employment, and join industries which together contribute hundreds of millions of pounds to the economy of Conwy and sustain thousands of jobs.
Operator CAIS Social Enterprises was recognised as one of the best social enterprises in Wales late last year after winning the health and social category at the Social Business Wales awards in Cardiff.
CAIS chief executive Clive Wolfendale said finding work was "one of the most important factors in helping people get back on their feet" following significant life challenges.
Deputy Mayor of Colwyn Bay Jeff Pearson hailed the success of the programmes.
"I'm impressed with all the hard work which goes into providing the training people need to find work, and to see the results," he said.
• Our Crew-it programme has now reopened!

Protein is a staple of the caveman diet- specifically options that are grass-fed, wild caught or organic, as these options are often from animals raised in environments that encourage natural behavior. And because our ancestors didn't just live off chicken and beef, they hunted a wide variety of meat, the more variety you can add to your proteins, the better!
Fruits are nature's nutrient-rich sweet treats and unprocessed, they have a whole host of health benefits to offer including detoxifying, disease-fighting antioxidants and phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Because of this and how well they're generally tolerated by the body, all types of fruits are considered a great part of a healthy and balanced paleo diet. However, because most do contain high levels of fructose (a fast-digesting carbohydrate), many paleo enthusiasts recommend watching your fruit consumption, especially if you're trying to lose weight.
These nutrient-packed treats make for a convenient and delicious snack that's paleo approved. They're a great source of long-lasting energy and their high fat content will keep you full for longer. It is worth noting though, that because many types of nuts and seeds do contain phytic acid and other anti-nutrients that disrupt optimal digestion, it's recommended that you consume them in moderation.
There's evidence that our ancestors pressed olives to make antioxidant-rich olive oil as far back as 7,000 years ago. Therefore, olive oil is considered to be a paleo ingredient and rightly so as it's exceptional nutritional profile provides us with numerous benefits. With a unique mix of oleic acid and monounsaturated fatty acids, using olive oil raw or in low-heat cooking applications has been shown to decrease the risk of developing cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's.
Although sweet potatoes are high in carbohydrates, they're often the preferred, paleo-friendly tuber option because of they have a low glycemic load and high level of nutrients. These versatile vegetables are high in fiber, potassium, vitamin A, beta carotene and potassium. They're also a particularly useful energy source for those who are very active and need a higher carbohydrate option to help sustain endurance and fuel quick recovery.
These cookies are soft and chewy, yummy and still healthy. I eat them all the time for snacks and dessert. One thing I really like about cookies is that they have an automatic portion control. That is unless you eat too many of them. I also like the convenience of cookies because you can grab them and go. Sometimes I eat these for breakfast because they are so healthy.
My first trick is the combination of flours. The texture is just right, thanks to a blend of almond flour and arrowroot (or tapioca starch). The starchy arrowroot keeps them light and crisp, while the almond flour helps them turn golden and gives them enough body. I love that they fill my house with notes of molasses and zingy ginger. Plus, they freeze like a dream, so you can always bake them ahead of time and pull them out when needed. (Like, every night after you tuck your kids in bed, for instance).
There is little argument over the health benefits of fruits and vegetables. They are chock-full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. The only caveat for paleo dieters is that some vegetables are starchy (e.g., potatoes) and some fruits are higher in sugar (e.g., bananas). So, if you are trying to lose weight or watch your blood sugar levels, eat these in moderation. In fact, potatoes are banned from some versions of the diet.
If you've been with me a long time, you know that Grams can not get enough of this drupe! Yep, I had to say drupe. One day, I might even achieve my lifelong dream of saying "drupe" out loud. Stay tuned. Anyway, I've dedicated these chocolate coconut bars, this paleo almond joy, friggin' coconut chocolate chip ICE CREAM, and chocolate coconut truffles (!) to her. But by far, one of her very favorites was my paleo vegan coconut macaroons.


"True Blood" is a vampire TV series that is coming to HBO by acclaimed writer/director Alan Ball, who created "Six Feet Under". He is moving from dealing with death to dealing with the undead. The new series stars X-Men's Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse, a small town waitress with the power to read minds, and Stephen Moyer as Bill Compton, a vampire trying to live a normal life. You can check out the new images from "True Blood" here. "True Blood" premieres later today, only on HBO.
"My Name is Earl" is moving into its 4th season and Jason Lee's Earl Hickey continues to right the wrongs of his past. This year, he'll have to find a way to take guest star Jenna Elfman off his list. Most of the new pictures for the season focus on her (looking haggered and in a cheerleaders outfit – see above). Also featured in the new pictures are Jaime Pressly and Ethan Suplee. You can check out the new images from "My Name is Earl" by clicking here. "My Name is Earl" will be back on the tube on September 25th.


and the whale that sings in the sea.
In the final pages of my memoir, I describe how my faith was shaken after the untimely death of my close friend in 2012. Seeing her lying in a coffin, realizing she would never get out of it, I wondered where she had gone and whether she had ever had a soul to begin with. I wondered if there was any chance I would see her again.
These aren't the musings of someone who's losing his religion but a natural cry of the heart in the face of death. You're not human if you don't ask yourself these questions when confronted with the mystery of suffering and evil.
Nevertheless, for several years thereafter my faith was shaky. I read essays by atheist philosophers and Christian theologians in the hopes of uncovering a satisfying answer to the question of what awaits us in the undiscovered country. And today I still have questions. On my worst days I find myself wanting to jump ship as I contemplate the eventual annihilation of our planet and the ultimate heat death of the universe. But I've managed to hold onto my faith in the Christian God, though sometimes by fingernails only. Here are some reasons why.
Back in the 1990s Christian apologetics was fascinated by the anthropic principle, this idea that the universe and our planet are perfectly fine-tuned for the existence of life. I find that argument less compelling than I once did—newer scientific models are suggesting that, given certain conditions, the emergence of life is not only possible but likely. Even the Vatican has conceded that there may be other planets inhabited by creatures like humans.
According to legend, when the anti-semitic emperor Frederick the Great of Prussia asked his wise men to provide one irrefutable proof for the existence of God, they said simply, "The Jews." The survival of the Jewish race into the present era has been called, even by secular writers, the greatest miracle of modern times. It's all the more remarkable given the various attempts to exterminate them wholesale, and the promises in their scriptures that they would be protected and return to their own land.
When Attila the Hun was ravaging Italy in 452 and the nascent Christian faith was threatened with destruction, Pope Leo I personally confronted the invader and persuaded him to leave the peninsula and return to his homeland. The Emperor Napoleon threw Pope Pius VII in prison and allegedly said, "I will destroy your church." Within a few years Napoleon was in exile and the pope had returned to Rome and the newly restored Papal States. Stalin is reputed to have said, "How many armies does the pope have?" but in June 1979 Pope John Paul II led a rally in his native Krakow in which over a million people gathered in the town square and shouted, "We want God! We want God!" This rally set in motion a chain of events that ultimately led to the downfall of the Soviet Union. "I will build My church," said Jesus, "and the gates of hell will not prevail against it," and he has been true to his word.
I'm generally skeptical of alleged miracles, but the Turin shroud is not easily dismissed. True, an early test of the fabric concluded that it was woven during the twelfth century, but subsequent analysis has found that the patch tested was not consistent with other portions of the cloth, and had in fact been added after a fire. Moreover, Shroud skeptics must account for the presence of pollen that is only found in the Jerusalem area in the spring, along with the growing scientific consensus that the image could only have been made by a single burst of ultraviolet light.
If you read Christian apologetics books from the '90s, it's obvious that amateur theologians were obsessed with this idea that the Christian religion is true because the Bible is a single perfect work written over a span of several thousand years that has been passed down to us in dozens of ancient manuscripts. There are problems with this argument, one of them being that it doesn't matter how many copies of a text we have, if the text promotes and teaches terrible things.
I've lost friends for questioning the accuracy and wisdom of certain Old Testament passages where God commands the slaughter of innocent women and children. To its credit, the Christian church has always been troubled by these passages because they don't reflect the image of God that we now see reflected in the life and character of Jesus. Even with all my questions I remain fascinated by the vision of Jesus presented in the four Gospels, by the only man who has ever led a lasting revolution of the human heart, the one man without whom the past 2,000 years of human history would be inconceivable. In many ways our world has not yet met his equal in wisdom. I'm reminded of the young atheist girl in Soviet Russia who, after reading the Gospel of Luke, said simply, "I fell in love with Him." So may we all.
I know a thing or two about spiritual abuse. I know that feeling of betrayal when the thing that's supposed to protect you tears you to pieces. I've seen predators disguise themselves as faithful servants of the people of God, using subtle indoctrination and mind control techniques to weave a prison so tight around their victims that even their closest friends and family couldn't get through to them.
For those of you who don't know, in my last year of college one of my best friends started a Charismatic prayer group. Dozens of people joined it and in the years after our graduation we moved to Kansas City. Members of the Group were punished, isolated, and expelled for questioning the leader's authority, and ultimately the oppression became so great that it claimed a life.

Energy-Resources and Environmental-impacts
Doing everything requires some amount of energy be it moving, walking, talking even in thinking.Energy is required in every life form. Without energy nothing could have been possible and we could have stayed in the stone age. The primary source of energy is the natural resources in human activities.
What are the Energy Resources ?
Energy is the capacity to do work which is required for evolution of life forms on earth as well as for life processes . Also energy resources are termed as something that can produce heat, move objects, power life or produce electricity. Energy is stored in matter which is termed as fuel . With the increasing population and evolution as well as technological advancement human energy consumption has grown steadily . In today's society, humans consume as much as about 110 times as early humans because early humans had modest energy requirements, which mostly included food and fuel for fires to cook and keep warm .
There are two types of Energy resources : Nonrenewable and renewable. A Non-renewable resource is that natural substance which cannot be replenished with the speed at which it is consumed, such as fossil fuels and nuclear material, are removed from the earth and can be depleted. These resources have been the most used type of energy resource in the modern era. While the Renewable resources are those whose supply replenishes naturally or can be sustained eg the sunlight used in solar power and the wind used to power wind turbines replenish themselves
[Image will be Uploaded Soon]
What are Some Environmental Impacts
All energy sources whether its renewable or nonrenewable have some impact on our environment but non-renewable resources such as Fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—do substantially more harm than renewable energy sources by most measures, including air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions ultimately triggering to climate change, poor air quality, soil erosion ,water contamination ,etc
Renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydropower also have significant environmental impacts upto some extent.
Understanding and analyzing the major potential environmental issues associated with each renewable energy source, steps can be taken accordingly to avoid or minimize these impacts as they become a larger portion of our electric supply.
There are various factors governing the type and intensity of environmental impact depending upon the geographical location ,technology used ,etc
Some of the Major Environmental Issues Caused By Energy Resources are as Follows:
The non-renewable resources such as coal and petroleum cause harm to the environment in the form of air and water pollution, generation of toxic wastes, etc. Coal gives out sulphur as emissions which harm the trees as well as , their extraction plants contaminate rivers and lakes thus affecting the aquatic ecosystem adversely.
The production and usage of oil releases CO₂ into the atmosphere.
Wind energy is among most abundant, inexhaustible, and affordable, energy resources which makes it a viable and large-scale alternative to fossil fuels but despite its vast potential of wind energy , there are a variety of environmental impacts associated with wind power generation that must be recognized and evaluated accordingly .The major environmental impacts associated with wind power include land use issues and challenges to wildlife and habitat.
Solar energy , the sun provides a tremendous resource for generating clean and sustainable electricity but there are various environmental impact associated with it also such as land use and habitat loss, water use, and the use of hazardous materials in manufacturing ,etc. The types of impacts mainly depends upon the scale of the system and the technology used—photovoltaic (PV) solar cells or concentrating solar thermal plants.
Biomass power plants involve the combustion of a feedstock to generate electricity. Thus, biomass plants raise concerns about air emissions and water use as fossil fuel plants.
Natural gas releases oxides of nitrogen and even methane when which affect people and animals that use water from the affected water bodies.
Q1. What are the Effects of Energy Resources on the Environment?
Ans: All the energy resources have some or the other effect on the environment. Natural gas, fossil fuels-coal, oil etc do more harm than renewable energy sources by most measures including water and air pollution, damage to public health, wildlife loss, habitat loss, water use, land use and global warming emissions.
Q2. What are Energy Resources?
Ans: Energy is the capacity to do work that is required for evolution of life forms on earth as well as for life processes . Also, energy resources are termed as something that can produce heat, move objects, power life or produce electricity
Q3. What is the Green Power Program?
Ans: The Green Power Program is a government that allows Australian households and businesses to fulfill their electricity usage with certified renewable energy, which is then pumped into the grid by their provider on their behalf.
Q4. How Non-renewable Resources Affect the Environment?
Ans: Non renewable energy resources emit a lot of pollution that affect environment as well as the health of the people. They alter earth's atmosphere by greenhouse gas emission. For eg single largest source of mercury emission are the coal plants.

Conor McGregor is the UFC's first champion to hold belts in two different weight classes (featherweight and lightweight), and if you're to believe oddsmakers, he won't be defending either belt soon.
Related: "Chicken" Conor McGregor got called out from his worst nightmare — unbeaten Khabib Nurmagomedov
Favored for his next fight is a third tilt at against Nate Diaz (+175) or he could fight for a third belt against welterweight champion Tyron Woodley (+300). McGregor's rivalry with Diaz has lasted nearly a year after the brash Diaz brother submitted McGregor in their first bout before losing a decision in the rematch.
Woodley and the Irishman traded words ahead of UFC 205 and the heavy-handed champ told McGregor to come get some after successfully defending his belt.
Third is Khabib Nurmagomedov (+400), the undefeated Russian who explicitly told Dana White he won't fight in the UFC again if he doesn't get a title fight.
I want to fight for @ufc title for respect but if I don't get my title shot next I have different plan I won't be fighting in UFC @danawhite

Rounding out the top four is Jose Aldo (+500), who is coming off a decision victory over Frankie Edgar, who wants a rematch against McGregor following his devastating one-punch knockout loss to the current champ.

Hearst-Argyle not happy with NBC's performance
Hearst-Argyle (and probably a lot of station groups) aren't happy with NBC's primetime performance.
David Barrett, the CEO of the station group, says he's "disappointed" in the performance of the network, and its been a earnings drag on the company's ten NBC affiliates.
But don't look too much into this. It's not likely Hearst-Argyle will break with NBC anytime soon. This is not 1980, when affiliates were leaving NBC in droves because of weak ratings for weak primetime shows. Many Hearst-Argyle stations are still strong in news (like WBAL in Baltimore), and the stations are expected to reap a huge windfall thanks to the upcoming political season.
Plus, other factors have hit both television and radio hard, including decreases in spending in the auto category, plus the mortgage prime lending crisis and falling home sales have hit the economy hard, particularly in Chicago.
Keep in mind that CBS got hit hard in 1994 when eight New World stations switched to Fox. And CBS was the number one network in the 1993-94 season when that announcement came down.

"[N]othing and no one can in any way permit the killing of an innocent human being, whether a fetus or an embryo, an infant or an adult, an old person, or one suffering from an incurable disease, or a person who is dying. Furthermore, no one is permitted to ask for this act of killing, either for himself or herself or for another person entrusted to his or her care, nor can he or she consent to it, either explicitly or implicitly. Nor can any authority legitimately recommend or permit such an action, for it is a question of the violation of the divine law, an offense against the dignity of the human person, a crime against life, and an attack on humanity."
— Declaration on Euthanasia, Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith
"Catholics should be leaders in the effort to defend and uphold the principle that each of us has a right to live with dignity through every day of our lives. As disciples of one who is Lord of the living, we need to be messengers of the Gospel of Life. We should join with other concerned Americans, including disability rights advocates, charitable organizations, and members of the healing professions, to stand for the dignity of people with serious illnesses and disabilities and promote life-affirming solutions for their problems and hardships. We should ensure that the families of people with chronic or terminal illness will advocate for the rights of their loved ones, and will never feel they have been left alone in caring for their needs. The claim that the "quick fix" of an overdose of drugs can substitute for these efforts is an affront to patients, caregivers and the ideals of medicine."

Q: HTML elements in an array form I want to create an array of HTML elements:
Example

Some text here

here is the array code:
$arr = array('div' => array('class' => 'class'), 'div' => array('class' => 'class2'));

Here is how I use foreach loop:
foreach ($arr as $type => $key) {
   foreach ($key as $keys => $value) {
      $arrays .= '<' . $keys . '="' . $value . '">';
   }
}

echo $arrays;

Here is the result
<class="class2">

How can I output all of them?

A: You can't. Your problem is, that you have duplicate keys in your array. In that case only the last value of that particular key is left in the array. Your only chance is to recreate the array so it does not have duplicate keys.

Sofokracie (z řečtiny σοφος – moudrý a κρατία – vláda, t. j. "vláda moudrých") je forma vlády, v které čelní místo ve společnosti zaujímají filozofové, tedy ti nejvzdělanější a nejmoudřejší jedinci bez ohledu na jinou příslušnost. Jedná se o Platónovu představu ideální formy vlády ve státě.

Tento pojem vznikl v antice, kde pojem filozofie zahrnoval různé obory vědy (které se z ní později mohly vyčlenit), takže můžeme v současné situaci přeneseně označit jako vládu vědců, což vyvolává spojitost s technokracií. Forma vlády nebyla v minulosti nikdy uvedena do praxe, částečně se uskutečňuje v zemích s volným trhem prostřednictvím ekonomických institutů, pokud jsou jejich představitelé vybíráni na základě znalostí a schopností. Jako formu sofokracie též někdy můžeme chápat tzv. úřednické vlády.

Mezi novodobé zastánce nastolení sofokracie patřil americký filozof a futurolog Jacque Fresco (označován jako "sociální architekt"), jenž v Projektu Venus navrhoval totální reorganizaci nynějšího sociálního systému na technokratických principech - společnost má být řízena vědeckými poznatky.

Alcohol is very familiar to University students, or so it is stereotyped. The question of whether teens would be more responsible with alcohol if their parents had safely introduced them to it, and explained the pros and cons of its consumption, varies from person to person. Alcohol can be addictive and harmful to our health, but if we are aware of that fact and can moderate how much we drink we should be fine, right?
Often, parents wish to isolate their children from all things harmful, alcohol being one of them. This often has a bad effect on their child, as their curiosity grows and their need to explore new things increases. At some stage, everyone will or has already tasted alcohol, and has decided as to whether they enjoyed it or not.
What some parents have started doing is introducing their children to low percentage alcoholic beverages, to get them understand that even if it has a pretty colour, the liquid can taste very awful, which could either kill their curiosity of alcohol completely or intrigue them to understand and appreciate the beverage.
If the child is underage but are under the strict supervision of their legal guardian, there shouldn't be much reason to worry, since this means they have a strong connection and trust in each other; their guardian would trust that the teen be truthful about drinking. This is opposed to the teenager hiding it, and suffering the consequences of excessive and mindless drinking, which can be extremely dangerous.
In my opinion, supervised drinking for an underaged person should be at special events which involve celebration, this would let the person understand that drinking is not for every day. In situations like these, it would be expected that the teen will be told to stop and will not be given more than one glass.
Some people believe that young people go too far with drinking when they're underage because they haven't been trusted to even taste alcohol before at home. Children in France are often given a small glass of wine with their evening meal, and over time they develop an appreciation of the drink, meaning when they turn eighteen, they don't go crazy with alcohol. This could explain why France has some of the best wineries in the world, and why their youth can enjoy alcohol with a meal, rather than drinking themselves to oblivion due to a lack of knowledge and experience.
In general, it is completely up to the family whether they introduce their children to alcohol or not, but it is good to note that lack of understanding of alcohol will only raise their curiosity, rather than quench it. Drink responsibly!

February 22, 2011 February 22, 2011 / Angelo Fernando
The son of Moammar Qaddafi had this to say about the rising tide of democracy:
"The whole world is going through more freedom, more democracy," he says, pumping the air in impatience. "We want to see those changes now, instead of 10 years' time, or 15 years."
It was very heartening to hear this, especially from the son of a dictator.
But there was one problem. He gushed about democracy before the people of his country took to the streets demanding reform –in a statement to Time magazine, last year! Like all sons of dictators, he was tipped to be the next leader, and (armed with a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics,) seemed like the kind of person the world could work with. Until he said this, this week.
"Libya is at a crossroads. If we do not agree today on reforms, we will not be mourning 84 people, but thousands of deaths, and rivers of blood will run through Libya."
He wished for, and predicted, change. His Ph.D. Thesis talks of a 'democracy deficit.' But he probably never foresaw the rivers of connectivity between his people that would make that happen.
Be careful what you wish for!
democracy, protest

Where is Dave Chaffee and Vitaly Laletin?
I think there's a problem with WAL contracted athletes, so they can't compete in Vendetta.
They can compete in Vendetta when thr WAL season is over like Devon did last year. But when it's on they can't. Pretty crap.
Does anyone know when Top 8 will be held? I tried to google it but could only find "sometime in 2019".
I expect to see you on that list in 5 years Wiggy.
Top 8 without Dave Chaffee and Devon I think Top8 would bring more $$ than WAL.
Igor has a lot of money.
Except Sasho lost to Todd Hutchings in Moldova. Do you consider Todd to be top 8 overall? Or do you think Sasho wasn't at his best that day? Or Todd is just a bad match-up for Sasho styles wise?
Sasho is definitely a monster pound for pound.
I did not know that. Was Sasho tired out? If not, then I take back what I said and don't think either is in the top 8 overall right now.
Denis is also not competing, he had surgery.
Then, Todd lost quickly to Makeev. Yordan Tsonev beat Makeev, Makeev was 4th... Prudnyk beat Tsonev, then lost to Babayev. That was a 209 lbs. weight class FYI.
So Rustam was 1st, Prudnyk 2nd, then Tsonev, then Makeev, then Todd, Sasho... yet a month later Sasho won WAF over Prudnyk.. And he almost always beats Prudnyk right handed. So really an argument could be made either way for who should be ranked 1-2-3 between Todd, Prudnyk, and Sasho.... Sasho lost to Todd, but beats Prudnyk and wins Worlds and Europeans at 198. But Prudnyk looked a level above him in Moldova, although they didn't pull. Prudnyk also looked insane at Zloty, where he pulled 209. I'd say either Prudnyk is stronger at 209, and loses strength cutting to 198, or Sasho wasn't at his best in Moldova (although it was only a month before he won Worlds, so you'd think he was fit), or it's just a styles thing... meanwhile, Makeev pulled 220 at Worlds, and only placed 12th, and I'd think Hutchings would place much better than that if he'd gone so that's weird to me, too. And I watched the whole class, I can't remember who he lost to but I remember he wasn't in there with the top guys... but he beat Sasho who beats Prudnyk who beat Tsonev (who was 2nd at Worlds in Makeevs class). Makeev also was at Zloty, where Prudnyk won the open class easily, Makeev wasn't even near the top... my conclusion based on all this, is it seems weird to me that Sasho beats Prudnyk.
I know I rambled a lot, but I really like discussing this strange case of A beats B beats C beats D beats E beats A. I guess the point is, it's REALLY hard put guys in a pound for pound order.
The event is just a few hours away now. Hoping for a good performance from Laletin and Ongarbaev.
Prudnyk is way bigger than I've ever seen. He looked like a beast against Babaev.
I wonder who will face who in the next round. Based on the order it should be Prudnik vs Ongarbaev and Laletin vs Levan. Those two matches could go either way.
