Q: Issue on Build Blocker and Multijob plugin Integration in jenkins I am using build blocker along with MultiJob plugin in my jenkins job to orchestrate a pipeline.
Here is a very small part of what I want to achieve.
Dependency within jobs
JobA --> Job B -(Join Plugin) --> Job C and Job D --> JobE (Join Plugin End)
Another job
Job A1 (the build blocker plugin contains the list of job B to job E)
Now I have created 2 phases in multijob phase, Suite 1 and Suite 2, in suite 1 I am running JOb A only(which will then call job B and so on) and in Suite 2 I am calling job A1
The issue:
After jobA completes the multijob plugin thinks the phase is complete so it put A1 job in the queue, but since Job B is also running at that moment so A1 remains in the queue(due to buildblocker).
So queue at that time contains job B and job A1, but as soon as job B completes and before it is able to put the job C and job D in the queue, job A1 starts executing.
Is there any solution for this issue? The example above is very small part of what I want to achieve and I know there are ways to achieve that in simple manner, but I need to orchestrate a much bigger pipeline where several jobs are dependent on each other in complex way, so need a solution for the above issue.
Thanks,
Manish Joshi

A: I was able to achieve this result by using a combination of Build Flow and MultiJob plugin.
I have created a build flow job and named it Suite1, which contains
build("jobA1")
build("jobB1")
parallel(
{build("jobC1")},
{build("jobD1")}
)
build("jobE1")
and in another job Suite2 I was running job A2, and then ran Suite1 and Suite2 in phases in multijob plugin
Hence now job A2 was waiting till the jobE1 finishes which I wanted to acheive.
Thanks,
Manish

Q: can we check that text in password field is displayed masked? Can we verify whether the text which is written in PASSWORD field is being displayed in masked format or not?

A: Here is an idea (assuming that you're using WebDriver driver):
WebElement input = driver.findElement(By.id("..."));
boolean isEncrypted = input.getAttribute("type").equals("password");

You'll need to replace the ... with the exact value of the password input box ID.

Discovery	What great minds on campus have been up to lately.
Continuum staff Summer 2016
Stop Cervical Cancer Before it Starts
Cervical cancer is almost eradicated in the developed world, where detection is made quickly and treatments are readily available. But in the developing world, where doctors and equipment are scarce, many more women die of the disease—as many as 90 percent of the 250,000 women who die of it annually worldwide. A cross-disciplinary team of University of Utah students hopes to solve this problem with a new handheld treatment device, Cinluma. The team just became the World Health Organization lead for cervical cancer and received a new $2.4 million grant from the National Cancer Institute.
"Cervical cancer stays precancerous for 10–20 years, but once it becomes cancer, it becomes very aggressive and few survive," says Tim Pickett MS'15 (bioengineering), one of the students on the team. "Because of the 'grace period,' it's basically curable in the developed world."
Cinluma, which looks much like an ordinary battery-powered drill with a heating element on the end, applies heat to the cervix and, in just 45 seconds, eliminates lesions before they can become cancer. Unlike other treatments on the market, the device is inexpensive, reusable, and battery-powered, so doctors don't need a stable source of electricity.
"The University of Utah is a global leader in medical innovation, and we are proud to carry on this tradition," says team mentor John Langell MBA'13, a surgeon, assistant professor in the U School of Medicine, and director of the Center for Medical Innovation. "What is most impressive is the foundation for technology acceleration we have created at the U. Through resources like the Crocker Innovation and Design Lab, where Cinluma was conceived and created, we took this technology from concept to full FDA filing in just seven months, something unheard of even at the largest international medical technology companies."
Others on the Cinluma team include Kristopher Loken MBA'15 MS'15 (bioengineering); surgical residents Jennwood Chen and Sarah Lombardo; multidisciplinary design student Brian Charlesworth; and medical students Ashley Trane BS'10 and Ashley Langell BS'11, daughter of mentor John. "I learned about bioinnovation through my father before ever starting medical school and used to attend the B2B competitions to see what new projects students were coming up with," Ashley notes. "Once I got into med school, I became involved myself, and it just seemed natural to have my dad as one of my team mentors." Other team mentors included Dean Wallace MD'87 PhD'82, a doctor and entrepreneur who first identified the need to find a better treatment for cervical cancer in developing countries.
Cinluma is now managed by Wallace's company, Cure Medical, and clinical studies on the device will soon begin at the U. The company has made a request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for permission to sell the device and has filed for a U.S. patent on the device's portability. It is also working on the same protection in the European Union.
Student Finds New Snake in Ethiopia
U biology doctoral student Evan Buechley and colleagues have helped discover a new species of snake inside Ethiopia's Bale Mountains National Park. The new viper species is called Bitis harenna after the Harenna Forest in Bale Mountains where Buechley first photographed the black-colored snake with pale-yellowish markings. The journal Zootaxa recently published a study on the team's findings.
Invention Designed to Revolutionize Water Usage
After three years and four prototypes, student start-up SenseTech and its creator Jacob Harris won $5,000 and first place in the 2016 University of Utah Opportunity Quest (OQ) business-plan competition in February.
SenseTech records soil, air, temperature, and moisture data through six solarpowered sensors, then sends the information to a user's smartphone or computer to help guide optimal watering. By providing information on exactly when, where, and how much to water, the start-up has the potential to vastly improve water usage at golf courses, city parks, farms, and even by agencies such as the U.S. Geological Service.
"The broad plan with this money is to grow SenseTech and make a bigger difference in the world," says Harris, who grew up in a farming community in rural northern Utah. "I will use this money to further develop our backend analytics database, as well as expand our beta-testing program." Harris is currently pursuing both an MBA and a master's in mechanical engineering at the U.
As the grand prize winner at OQ, Harris garnered a $5,000 grant from Zions Bank, $2,000 of in-kind prizes, and connections and pitch consulting opportunities with industry professionals who judged the competition. SenseTech competed against other student companies such as Aura Optics, the second-place start-up (which creates customizable high-performance snow goggles with interchangeable lenses and straps), and Peke-Buo, the third-place company that created a unique, clutch-style kit to streamline changing diapers.
New Material Could Make Electronics 100X Faster
Ashutosh Tiwari
University of Utah engineers have discovered a new kind of 2D semiconducting material for electronics that opens the door for much speedier computers and smartphones that also consume a lot less power.
The semiconductor, made of the elements tin and oxygen, is a layer of 2D material only one atom thick, allowing electrical charges to move through it much faster than conventional 3D materials such as silicon. Transistors made with this material could lead to computers, processors, and smartphones that are more than 100 times faster than regular devices.
The material was discovered by a team led by Ashutosh Tiwari, a U materials science and engineering associate professor. A paper describing the research was the cover story in February in the journal Advanced Electronic Materials. The paper was co-authored by U materials science and engineering doctoral students K. J. Saji and Kun Tian, and Michael Snure BS'04 PhD'09, a former doctoral student of Tiwari now with the Wright-Patterson Air Force Research Lab near Dayton, Ohio. Tiwari's team has recently started a collaborative research program with the lab.
While researchers in this field have recently discovered other new types of 2D material, these materials allow only the movement of N-type, or negative, electrons. To create an electronic device, the material must allow the movement of both negative electrons and positive charges known as "holes." The tin monoxide material discovered by Tiwari and his team is the first stable P-type 2D semiconductor material ever in existence.

4/11/17 Barnsley v Blues. Harlee Dean the dancing queen
There's a Weatherman on BBC named Matt Taylor, who revels in predicting rain. He loves it. Always looks crestfallen when predicting sun and heat. He's probably a really nice bloke but for this reason, and only this reason, I hate him. I particularly hate him on a Friday, because you know he's going to predict rain for the weekend. Saturday morning and he's on my T.V. doing the weather. I came out the flat and was confronted with predicted wind and rain. This is when you question your sanity. You could easily have stayed in a nice warm bed. What was worse, as I turned the corner, the bus was just pulling off. Next one, ten minutes. This was supposed to be for pleasure. Could be worse. I could support a team with no heart, that lose every week. D'OH! I got down to New Street to be met with no one on the concourse. I was later than I thought. I got on the train, missed Spoons but spotted Steve. The digital seat indicator wasn't working so I sat next to him. Ian got on and managed to find a seat the other end of the carriage next to Spoons. We were sat opposite a couple of old Geordie lads. After catching up with Steve, we started talking to them. Season ticket holders, one from Cheltenham and the other from Banbury. Another couple of supporters whose club doesn't mean as much to them as the players that play for it. A couple of hardly ever get the trains, got on and proceeded to hunt up and down the carriage for a seat. The woman's teeth resembled battlemants. She used her walking stick as more of a hindrance to other people than an aid to herself. She plonked herself down by Ian. Well more on him, to be exact. It's an understatement if I say that Ian has an eye for the ladies. Even he was giving this one a miss. We got off at Sheffield. With the Sheffield Tap not opening for another fifteen minutes after scheduled arrival, we wouldn't have minded if the train had been late getting in. No such luck. It was still raining too. It gave me the opportunity to get my return ticket to Barnsley and get a lottery ticket. Turns out, Ian like me, gets a ticket in the place he goes to. Nice to know I'm not the only weirdo. We hit the Sheffield Tap. One thing I hate intensely, is a barman that will use his little position of power and always serve a young female before whoever is waiting longer. Sexism and ageism comes in many forms.
Even on a day off, Spoons gets reminded of work.
Other than a slimy barman, this place is a place you could spend all day in. Well, if you love beer and trains, that is. Mikey had missed the train we were on but turned up on the next. He told us about his latest trip to America to see Springsteen. He's a Springsteen nut. How much of a Springsteen nut? How's paying £500 for a ticket do you? I don't know whether to be appalled or impressed. I'll settle for bemused. Only Mikey. . . . Me and Steve headed off, we'd meet up with the other three later. I wanted to do a couple of pubs in Sheffield I hadn't done before. First one, a Thwaites pub, The Old Queens Head. I'm not a fan of Thwaites beer but I've found that the ones they didn't sell to Marston's, are not too bad. I had a milk stout in here. Nice creamy chocolate taste to it. The landladies daughter kept making an appearance. She was doing her homework. The age old project of ageing paper so it looks like parchment, for religious studies. It was tiring just watching this little girl. Perpetual motion. Couldn't walk, had to run. My lad was exactly the same when he was that age. If I could've got him some trainers made out of lead, I would've done. Boundless energy. We walked passed the main walkway down to the station. There was heavy police presence. Both me and Steve were intrigued as to why. Both Blues and Sheffield United fans had played up this season but neither of us thought it was Blues. We called in on the Red Lion next. A nice little back street boozer. No away fans, the signs said. Technically, we weren't away fans. Wednesday were away to B6 and United had got Hull. Our Brummy accents would confuse enough to be served. A few Blues came in after us. Drinking up, our curiosity got the better of us and we had a look at the reason for the police presence. Hull had landed on the Globe and had took over the place. Pre arranged go to pub obviously. We got down to the station and found the platform we needed. The train was delayed. It got later but eventually turned up. We found ourselves sitting opposite a few of the Roost crowd. Regulars at away games. After a bit of a moan at how inept the team was and agreeing that there was just a total lack of heart shown by them, we started reminiscing about games and years gone by. You do that when you've been going all over the country for years, decades. The great games, the awful ones. Always there, long after any player. We left them at Chapeltown. Remembering where The Commercial was, we headed there. Spoons, Ian and Mikey were still there. This little pub is well worth the stop over if you're on a Barnsley away day. Great range of ales, friendly, comfortable. I wonder what they made of the Birmingham Mail I left? We got talking about traffic congestion and ways to combat it. We're all big advocates of the railway and public transport in general. Spoons argument was whatever the solutions you were to come up with, it wasn't going to make a blind bit of difference, the roads were still going to be at saturation point. At first, I didn't grasp where he was coming from, then I got it. Short stop, single and multi drop deliveries. He's right. What's the solution for them? There ain't one. Thousands of little vans going about their business and clogging up the roads at the same time.
We could've had Armitage and the Shanks at number one with Prince Charming instead. After all, ridicule is nothing to be scared of.
Just round the corner from the station is a bakery and a shop that does hot pork baps (Or is that barms in this neck of the woods?) We hit the bakery. Sausage roll and peppered steak pasty in hand, we got the train. Spoons, Ian and Mikey got off at Elscar, to do a couple of boozers there. Me and Steve carried on to Barnsley. Landing in Barnsley, we headed for a fantastic little place called The Arcade Alehouse. It's in a little Victorian shopping arcade. Undiscovered by the Carling brigade. We both wanted to do the Number 7 too, so we had halves. I was surprised to be served with a goblet. I could just imagine the indignation from the locals when these were first used. In Yorkshire? It's not chuffing wine pal. On to the Number 7. Steve remembered that he had been in the place before, I hadn't. The downstairs had been opened up since Steve had been in here last and that's where we headed as the upstairs was a tad cramped for space. Judging by the power points, I'd say it was to enable the place to put bands on. Always a good thing. Same half pint goblets too. Another couple of decent real ale outlets and Barnsley might be worth foregoing Sheffield.
We hit the ground. I said hello to Steph and the crew, who were loitering with intent. Got mugged by the Noonans, who told me that a hundred Villa had got done by forty Blues outside the Woodman. I wasn't surprised to hear there was a bit of Morris dancing. St Andrews is a hard place to police and as usual, there'd been a lot of Blues wanting to get at Villa. I wouldn't want to be one of one's trying to police it, that's for sure. Oakwell is one of my favourite grounds. It's got that proper ground feel.
A sense that this club had been around for some time and wasn't ashamed of itself. Proud community club. Working class, no frills, family blokes club. Sisters and girlfriends welcome, just as long as they shout and swear as much as the blokes.
Just as we were laughing at hearing that Sheffield Wednesday had gone 1:0 up in the first minute at Villa, Blues allowed Barnsley to take the lead. Don't worry lads, us fans don't care. It doesn't bother us that we'd traveled to a place we probably wouldn't have visited had it not been for the ground in addiction to Blues. Money it costs? It's only a few pence to us. Clubs virtually give tickets away to everyone these days and anyway, Barnsley is only a short walk from where we live in Brum. Back in time to listen to Jeff Stelling's Premier league round up. If this team showed a quarter of the passion us fans do, we'd be in the playoff positions. If they hurt a tenth as much as we do, they'd be top of the league. This was the match that any hope of staying up this season was extinguished. I've known we're going down since Hull. That day, I saw players that do not care. I'm STILL watching players that don't care. I can't say every single player doesn't care but I can count on the fingers of one hand the players who do care, and still have five fingers left. Worzel had made five changes to the team, it wouldn't have mattered if he'd made eleven or none at all. We were never going to equalise. Half time was a relief. As I made my way down from the back, I got a shout from Daz. He told me that George had lost both parents within weeks of each other. It's never easy to lose one but I can't even begin to think what he's going through. I carried on down to the concourse underneath. Walking through, Spotted Squid on the floor so helped pick him back up again. Then I spotted a face I hadn't seen for a while. Stevie Hall, a lad who used to go to games with my eldest Nephew. I used to tag along with them for a couple of years. It was good to see him. It's been a season where I've seen a few come back. It's in your blood, your D.N.A. You don't lose it. Very few stop and never go again. No matter how much they put you through, you're still there, like a moth to a flame. Always getting burnt, always going back for more, sucked in yet again. So no Harlee Dean, you don't hurt as much as us and you never will. An empty statement said by a person who doesn't know OUR clubs history and hasn't got the intelligence to even try to understand what the club means to us. How do think I felt when my Son started crying, because Blues had just got relegated in 2006? I'll tell you how I felt. I felt like the worst Dad in the world for encouraging him to support Blues. Like you lot, that lot didn't care, didn't "hurt". I was hurting as I trudged back up the steps. Got to the back of the stand, spotted a regular at away games on crutches. She could've stayed at home and listened to the game on the radio. Do you still go to every game to support your team mates when you're injured Harlee Dean? I'll expect to hear that you're traveling on one of the official supporters coaches, maybe you'll be on Tony's disco bus. You could always come with us ale trailers. We'll introduce you to the stuff we drink that anaesthetizes us enough to be able to watch the half hearted rubbish that you lot serve up. The second goal was as inevitable as day following night. Don't mistake our gallows humour for apathy. It's as part of us as our anthem. Born out of generations of disappointment that stretches back to when we were formed. I left with "You're not fit to wear the shirt" bellowing out from the away end. So no Harlee Dean, you're not fit to wear the shirt because WE say you're not. Stop whining, start doing your job. Before you do, apologise for having the temerity to even think that the players are hurting more than the fans, you never have and you never will. You'll never lose my support but you've definitely lost my respect.
I saw Clacker and Sons on the station. Along with me, another three out of the 1,848 who had made the trip to Barnsley and were hurting. I've seen Clacker's Sons grow up. Blues now running through their soul like their Dad. I sat next to a Leeds season ticket holder. He was on his way to Sheffield to celebrate his Brothers birthday. I wondered if wearing a Leeds shirt in Sheffield would be a good idea. I got off at Sheffield and headed for the Bath hotel.
You could just imagine the Shelby's walking into here.
As you can see from the photo, great range of ales and if coupled with your love of real ale, you love old pubs with original features, then this is a must do. Though not in the same league as Darrell, I can move when I want too, plus it was cold, plus Blues had lost AGAIN, so wasn't in the best of moods. Think Richard Ashcroft in the Bitter Sweet Symphony video. I wasn't knocking into anyone but had people moving out of my way. I didn't pick up on it till I overheard someone say, mind out the way of this geezer and realised, they were referring to me. Every time I go to Sheffield, I try and do The Rutland. It's one of my favourite pubs in the country. It's got that kitsch feel to it. But not convoluted like some places, more like things get left there till someone likes the look of it and swaps it for something else. It's a student bar but more a place they can hang out with visiting parents without anyone feeling uncomfortable and out of place. Working class creativity and brains.
You can't tell from the photo but the yellow thing in the top left, is the pub entrance done in Lego.
A memory from my youth.
Three girls on a night out, destination non-descript, exited the pub, the first of them, dressed in a blue plastic mac made me smile, though not a lookalike, reminded me of Roisin Conaty. If you don't know who she is, look her up. Anyway, the girl caught me smiling and put her arms out wide, as if to ask, how do I look? I did a bellissimo kiss as a reply, as she bounced out of the pub. I don't know if Sheffield was ready for her but woe betide anyone or anything that was going to get in between her and a good time. I could've stayed in here till closing time but I had a train to catch. Not for me a luxury coach and an overnight stay in a 5 star hotel. What a hard time these wealthy footballers have. Still, when they hurt more than the fans, it's only right they have something to ease the pain. Especially when they have to get up at 5:40 on a Monday morning to catch the bus to work. . . . . Ahh no wait, they don't have to. Train, headphones, sleep. I bumped into Badger at the bottom of Corporation Street (Should've been looking where I was going.) He'd been to Liverpool bar hopping. It's on my "To do" list. Once this season is over and done with and we've been relegated, I'll do a day up there. Something to do in the summer whilst Harlee Dean and co are sunning themselves somewhere hot and expensive for a month, whilst their agents are engineering their next move. Such heartache being a footballer with a big wallet, big ego, no soul and no brain.

4K TVs, Hybrid Tablets Top Trends at IFA in Berlin
By Mikael Ricknäs
PCWorld	 Sep 2, 2012 11:00 am PDT
This year at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin vendors introduced and demonstrated a plethora of ultra-high resolution TVs, hybrid tablets based on Microsoft's upcoming operating systems, as well as the first device based on Windows Phone 8.
Here are some of most interesting trends at IFA 2012 and the products they have spawned:
LG Electronics, Sony and a number of other vendors all showed so-called 4K TVs, which increase the resolution from the current 1920 by 1080 pixels to 3840 by 2160 pixels.
Sony 4K TV
The term 4K comes from the horizontal resolution. (See also "TechHive: Three-Minute Tech–4K Resolution").
To take full advantage of the format a big TV is needed, which the TV manufacturers have realized. The screen on Sony's XBR-84X900 measures 84 inches, as does LG's UD (Ultra Definition) 3D TV.
But despite how beautiful the carefully-selected video clips looked on the show floor, there are a few obstacles, including price. LG's TV will cost about US$22,000 when it starts to roll out in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America starting in September. There's also a lack of native 4K content to watch, which will make it even harder for the technology to take off in the near future.
Hybrid Tablets
IFA 2012 was definitely the coming out party for tablets based on Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 and Windows RT operating systems, which have been developed with tablets in mind. The Windows 8 tablets use Intel processors and the Windows RT devices use processors from ARM.
HP Envy X2
The PC vendors seem to believe that tablets need a keyboard that can be folded away when not in use or detached when not needed. An example of the latter premiered with Microsoft's Surface tablets, and is also used by Samsung Electronics' ATIV Smart PC, Asus Vivo Tab and Hewlett-Packard's Envy X2. Besides the form factor, the products also have the same screen size, 11.6 inches.
What they will cost when they ship later this year is still a mystery, although Samsung said that in Sweden its ATIV Smart PC will list at 6400 kronor ($950) excluding tax.
While there were many tablets based on Windows 8 there were also a lot of all-in-one PCs, including new families from Lenovo and Samsung, and products from Toshiba and Acer.
Lenovo IdeaCentre B345
For example, Lenovo's IdeaCentre B340 and B345 will come with 21.5-inch, high-definition touch displays. Users will be able to scroll documents, browse the Web or flip between pictures and movies using various touch gestures.
Users of Samsung's Series 7 and Series 5 All-In-One PCs will also have the option of controlling the computers using hand gestures. They can swipe right or left without touching the screen to turn the pages of an e-book.
Users can also rotate their palm clockwise or counter-clockwise to change the volume while watching a movie, or wave their hands to stop it playing.
Windows 8 is due to start shipping on October 26.
OLED (Organic Light-emitting Diode) technology holds the promise of exceptionally thin TVs and images that have better contrast ratio and less motion blur.
LG OLED TVs on show at IFA Berlin.
At IFA, LG and Samsung showed based on the technology. Both are capable of reproducing 3D content. Using a feature called Multi View, as well as glasses with integrated earphones, two people can watch two different shows at the same time on Samsung's ES9500.
On the show floor both sets produced great images, but as has been the case since OLED TVs first arrived the improvements come at a steep cost. LG's new OLED model costs around 9000 euros (US$11,290) in Europe.
Integrated NFC (Near-Field Communications) is showing up in an increasing number of products including, at IFA, Samsung's ATIV Tablet, Sony's Xperia T smartphone and the Vaio Duo 11 hybrid tablet and Asus' Vivo Tab.
But the technology hasn't necessarily been included for making payments, which is the area that has received the most attention. Sony users will be able to touch their phone to new NFC-equipped speakers and headphones so that music jumps from playing on the device to the speakers or headphones.
IFA has never been a launch pad for the hottest smartphones, but there were still some interesting products at this year's show. Samsung announced the first smartphone that will run Windows Phone 8, the ATIV S which has a dual-core processor and a 4.8-inch HD screen.
Screen sizes above 4.5 inches is becoming standard on high-end smartphones, with the notable exception of the iPhone. At IFA, Sony announced its new flagship model, the Xperia T, has a 4.6-inch display and 13-megapixel camera.
On the lower end, HTC introduced the Desire X, which has a 1GHz dual-core processor and a 4-inch super-LCD screen with 800-by-480 pixel resolution. HTC hopes it can attract cost-conscious buyers with a camera that can shoot video and take still pictures at the same time.
Intel had a good show thanks to the launch of new hybrid tablets, but the company's smartphone push also took a small step forward with the introduction of the ZTE Grand X IN, which is powered by the Intel Atom Z2460. The smartphone has a 4.3-inch screen with 960-by-540 pixel resolution, as well as an 8-megapixel camera, support for HD Voice and an FM radio.

Q: SQL/PHP how to write WHERE which returns everything I have a PHP-Function which selects films from a SQL-Database using a procedure with a WHERE sorting:
drop procedure if exists editFilm;

DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE editFilm(
            IN inFilmId int,
            )
  BEGIN
  SELECT * from Film where FilmId = inFilmId
  END $$
DELIMITER ;

Now I want to have the possibility to set "everything" so all data gets replied as if the WHERE didn't exist.
I tryed using *, % and leaving it empty, but none of that works.
How can I give there WHERE a value which will return everything?

A: Change your query to use LIKE rather than =. If the parameter does not contain any wildcard characters, SQL will treat this like =. But if you want to match everything, you can use the wildcard '%'.
Make sure that when you supply a parameter to the procedure that you escape wildcard characters with \ if you want to do a normal equality test. In LIKE patterns, % and _ are wildcards.

A: SELECT * from Film
WHERE FilmId = inFilmId
OR inFilmId IS NULL
  ;

Or, if you also want to match all on an empty string:

SELECT * from Film
WHERE FilmId = inFilmId
OR COALESCE(inFilmId, '') = ''
  ;

But, if your inFilmId is an integer, you could invent another specialvalue

SELECT * from Film
WHERE FilmId = inFilmId
OR COALESCE(inFilmId, -666) = -666
  ;

What We Do Emergency Response Philippines Taal Volcano Eruption: Facts, FAQs, and How to Help
Facts & Figures: Taal Volcano Eruption in the Philippines
On July 1st, 2021, the Taal Volcano erupted, forcing nearby villages in the Philippines to evacuate, affecting approximately 21,000 people in the communities of Laurel and Agoncillo. As the country grapples with its second wave of COVID-19 cases, precautionary measures to protect children and families are more important than ever.
The Taal Volcano in the province of Batangas is now under Alert Level 3, which indicates magmatic unrest that could drive additional eruptions. While local villages are being told to evacuate, the number of displaced families remains undetermined.
Your support today with a donation to the Children's Emergency Fund can help our teams deliver lifesaving aid to children and families, including those in the Philippines, around the world before, during and after an emergency.
FAQs: What you need to know about the Taal Volcano eruption in the Philippines and how to help
Where in the Philippines is the Taal Volcano located?
What is the current state of the Taal volcano?
What danger does the Taal volcano eruption pose for children and families?
How is Save the Children currently responding to the Taal Volcano eruption?
What is the history of Save the Children's emergency response in the Philippines?
How can I help children and families impacted by emergencies?
The Taal volcano is located on a small island about 65 miles south of Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
While the Taal volcano it is one of the world's smallest volcanoes, it is the Philippines' second most active volcano. It has recorded at least 34 eruptions in the past 450 years.
On Thursday, July 1st, the Taal Volcano erupted, causing local villages to evacuate.
Authorities have raised the alert to a Level 3, which indicates there is magmatic unrest, after a phreatomagmatic eruption -- an eruption of magma and water -- occurred. Level 5, the highest, means an eruption is taking place.
Based on Level 3 alert, experts recommend that inhabitants of high-risk areas evacuate, such as those living on Taal Volcano Island and in some towns in the province of Batangas.
Local authorities have implemented evacuation procedures, although it is uncertain how many families have evacuated.
Volcanic eruptions can produce a dangerous mix of ash, rock and volcanic gases, which could threaten nearby communities and put children, families and rescuers at risk.

I have dry skin, so any base product that helps mend or disguise it without emphasizing dry patches (or creating them) is baseline "OK" in my book. Glotion steps it up by delivering on a soft, luminous glow if worn alone. Worn with foundation, it makes it look like more "natural glowy" skin. I like to mix it with liquid foundations (currently L'Oreal true match) because it creates a creamy consistency (more like a bb cream) and takes away the mask effect that foundation on its own can have. Just wear sunscreen underneath and you've got a nice base for the day. I will definitely buy this product again.
I am looking for a fdtn mix in that can give me some glow. This did not do it. Its not bad, just not enough glow for the price.
I grabbed medium, since the light shade was sold out at my Target -- but once I got in the car, swatched and found its too dark for my nc15/20 skin. If i had a tan, it would work, but I have melasma which makes my face darker than my neck, so the darker shade just made it worse.
I could have really made do with the shade, but even when swatched on my hand-- I was like, "where's the sheen? Where's the glow?" It had some shine to it, being that it was a cream, but not what I'd expect for illumination. WnW's dewy primer has more luminosity than this, and thats $4.99. You do get a lot of ounces in the squeeze tube, but $11.99 ---not enough sheen for me. Also, why the denat. alcohol in the ingredients?!
I like this much better as a glowy primer than a highlighter; I find that it doesn't layer well on the cheekbones and is too shimmery for me personally. It looks like a metallic stripe if I try to build it up on the face. I like a dewy, wet, translucent highlight like the rms luminizer and this is much more shimmery. I would say this is a good dupe for the Becca priming filter; the color match isn't exact but it looks identical once sheered out on the skin. The glotion doenst make you look like a tin man and is not oily, but it does look a bit much if you start to layer. Both aren't the most hydrating and can emphasize texture and dryness if applied over dehydrated skin.
I bought this because I was trying to see if this was a dupe for the Charlotte tilbury flawless filter, but this is more shimmery and metallic while the flawless filter has more of a glowy skin tint effect. I like the squeezy tube packaging because I feel like you can get all the product out while doing the same for the Becca and Charlotte Tilbury is going to be a struggle. The flawless filter also feels more moist.
Loving Glotion! I have purchased it four times already. (Medium for my light to medium skintone) I started using it this past summer for something light, and have continued successfully all winter as well. I have not used any other foundation/bb/cc since trying it, although I keep searching...as we do! (just in case!) I am 58 yrs. old, and love the way this looks on my pretty good skin...if I do say so myself. Foundation just looks heavy and masky on me now. As much as I love Glotion, I REALLY did not like L'oreal's Trublend Serum Tint. It's not even similar. Loving that I don't look tan, but that I have an enhanced skintone and a dewy finish.
I have a fair to lighter skintone and I purchased this in the medium shade because it adds a really nice warmth and glow to my face, especially when I don't have makeup on. It's very natural-looking and moisturizing without looking greasy. I really love it and I think it'll be perfect for the winter time when I start to get more pale and dry and my skin just needs that extra bit of colour and glow.
I like this product, but I doubt I would repurchase it. It achieves the same finished look as mixing luminizing drops with primer on my skin, and I do like the effect, but I prefer the control of using the drops over this. I like that there is no scent and the lotion doesn't feel heavy or gritty, and the packaging is pretty decent as well. If it were more moisturizing I could skip the mixing w/ the primer and use this alone, but since my skin is fairly dry I need the added moisture from my primer to keep my foundation from breaking down. If you're devoted to a product like MAC Strobe Cream, try this instead since it is cheaper and more customizable to your skin tone.
I bought this on a whim in the colour 902/Light Glow (not sure if that's the lightest or 2nd lightest shade). I don't find this imparts much in the way of an all-over glow, which disappointed me. I was hoping it would give similar results to my Becca Backlight Priming Filter but at a lower cost. Sadly, this doesn't really deliver much glow at all unless I apply it so heavily that I'm left with a greasy face. Once summer is over and I'm wearing foundation on a daily basis, I might try mixing this in with my foundation to see if I like how it works when used like that. As things stand, though, I wouldn't repurchase as this just doesn't deliver for me.
I bought this product knowing it wouldn't be a full-on highlighter, but instead give a more natural glow. It delivers on this promise. I have olive/medium-toned skin, but opted for the light shade because I prefer how it contrasts nicely with my skin. I find I'm able to use this with really light makeup applications (like tinted moisturizer), or on its own after my skin care to just give me a nice glowy, natural look. I have an arsenal of highlighters from Becca, Nars, Fenty, and Cover FX, and this fits in nicely. I use different brands/formulations depending on how intense I want my highlighting. I recommend this product, and will definitely re-purchase.
At the turn of the millennium, Revlon were riding high on the fame of their incredible--and unbelievably discontinued--original Skinlights line. (They've since reintroduced a variation on the Skinlights liquid highlighter, but it doesn't even come close to the original). Anyhow, this original product was astounding stuff--it could be used alone or as a primer or mixed in with other base products and the result was luminous perfection. Nothing--not even high end--came close.
I am happy to say that this latest offering from L'Oreal replicates this perfection beautifully. I am an NC 20/25 but, much to my amazement, found the shade Light Glow to be the best for me. If the Instagram metallic-strobey thing is your poison, the Lumi line does offer highlighting drops that accomplish this effect. However, I'm much more in favor of a gentle luminosity (in keeping with the older trends) and therefore like to use this as a primer over moisturizer and under tinted sunscreen. The result is a glowing, well-rested air of health. What more could you want? Total HG material.
i have the lightest shade and i am loving it it gives a low natural glow to the skin when applied under foundation no glitter or shimmer just a natural glow that makes the skin appears healthy ...am loving it and i have other brands of highliter in my collection however i keep reaching for this one ..
