(1) Sections 25 Pa. Code 86.124(f) and 25 Pa. Code 86.125(j) are not approved to the extent that these sections would allow Pennsylvania more time to complete a final written decision on a lands unsuitable for surface mining activities petition than is allowed by the provisions of the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 764.19(b).
(c) We are not approving the following portions of provisions of the proposed program amendment that Pennsylvania submitted on December 18, 1998:
(1) 4.2(f)(4) of PASMCRA. We are not approving Subsection (4) to the extent that it would allow Phase 3 bond release.

We are not approving Section (a)(2) to the extent that an operator is not required to provide for all increased operating and maintenance costs of a restored or replaced water supply. Finally, we are not approving Subsection (a)(3) to the extent it would allow a waiver from the requirements for replacing a water supply outside the requirements of 30 CFR 701.5 regarding the definition of the term, "replacement of water supply."

Q: What is the best way to implement soft deletion in a large relational Database? Using SQL Server 2012, with over 200 tables.
I need to implement soft-delete so that I can give my users the ability to "restore or undelete" deleted records.
The tables from which the users delete records are user-defined with variable number of relationship (foreign keys) to other tables.
I have seen so far two methods:

*

*IsDeleted column on all tables

*Having mirror archived tables

however both methods seems to work well on a standalone table, when it comes to tables with relationships, I think neither of the methods are practical.
Method 1: complicates queries, and causes in incorrect query results.
SELECT Id,Name FROM User
Left Join Group ON Group.Id = User.GroupId AND Group.IsDeleted=0
WHERE User.IsDeleted=0 AND ISNULL(Group.IsActive,0) <> 0

This above query returns invalid results because of the joined table IsDeleted filter. In other posts, it is suggested that IsDeleted=0 is enough, however as I demonstrated above that is not the case.
SELECT Id,Name FROM User
Left Join Group ON Group.Id = User.GroupId
WHERE User.IsDeleted=0 AND Group.IsDeleted=0

This above query too, won't work correctly in some cases depend on how the user filters the records (the problem appears when there are more joins).
In below example:
  User has GroupId field (lookup to Group)
  User has RoleId field (lookup to Role)
  Role has GroupId field (lookup to Group)
SELECT Id,Name FROM User
LEFT JOIN Group ON Group.Id = User.GroupId
LEFT JOIN Role ON Role.Id = User.RoleId
WHERE User.IsDeleted=0 AND Group.IsDeleted=0 AND Role.IsDeleted=0
AND /* ...user defined filters...*/ Role.Name is not null

The query above too won't return the correct results if the group is deleted, but not the role related to the group, the role record will also get filtered out.
(I know there are ways to fix the queries in case by case basis, but that would not work for my use case, I need a solid pre-defined pattern to apply to all generated queries - the database queries are not predefined and they are generated on the fly.)
Method 2: very hard to implement, at the time that a record is being deleted and archived, need to figure out what other records in other tables reference it and track them somehow to be able to update them back when the record is undeleted.
Anyone has a suggestion what is the best method to implement soft delete in a relational database effectively?

In 1911 the construction of the sanatorium was proposed, as a forerunner in Italy's anti-tubercular struggle. The sanatorium opened in 1924 and completely fulfilled the hospitalisation requirements of TB patients. Further pavilions were built, the first in 1929 which had accommodation for 800 women, and another in 1930 which could accommodate 1000 children.
The sanatorium was situated in an area covered by magnificent pine forest. It was built far from large conurbations of the population, away from busy roads and establishments that could alter the purity of the air, while the forest protected it from the winds. The climate was consistently cooler than in the city, better ventilated in summer and less foggy in autumn.
Following the contraction of the sanatoria sector, due to the advent of the antibiotic era, the availability of hospital beds progressively increased to around half of the accommodation capacity. From 1955 the establishment became a mixed use sanatorium and hospital until the 1970s, and as a general hospital thereafter. The hospital closed in 2015 when a neighbouring purpose built hospital opened to replace the ageing buildings of the old sanatorium.


Because of its fiber content, I wouldn't recommend eating a lot of broccoli too soon before a run. However, this is just one of the many highlights of broccoli that I love: it keeps bowel movements regular.
Also, if you experience GI problems when running, incorporating more broccoli in your diet can certainly help with this as eating 3 cups of broccoli per week was found to fight health-harming intestinal yeast cells. Too much yeast cells in your gut is also linked to ongoing fatigue, so by eating more broccoli you'll have more energy to run!
Another bonus of broccoli is that it contains folic acid, sulforaphane and a brew of vitamins that not only protect the brain from age-related damage, but improves mood by energizing your brain cells and increases the production of dopamine, the 'feel-good-happy' hormone, according to Elizabeth Some, R.D author of Eat Your Way to Happiness.
If you don't like broccoli, I promise these healthy broccoli recipes will help make broccoli become more flavorful and enjoyable! Another thing I like about these recipes is that they are really easy. If I can make these, so can you!

End  Sub

Now the problem is the mail is going to the Bad Mail repeatedly and it shown an error message.
"The IP you're using to send mail is not authorized to send email directly to our servers. Please use the SMTP relay at your service provider instead."
I got a solution for this through this link http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup/ but still the mails are going in the Bad Mail folder. Please help

A: Two things:

*

*You are setting up the mail body content twice with myMail.textbody and myMail.htmlbody. If your message content is not html, remove the myMail.htmlbody line. If your content is HTML, remove the myMail.textbody line.

*The error message is telling you the problem: you cannot send to that mail server from your server's IP address (using standard SMTP I am assuming). Maybe you need to use a different SMTP server or use a secure authentication method with credentials to converse with that mail server.

A man was passing by an encampment of elephants. They were not confined in cages, but rather each one's single leg was tied to a simple rope. The gentleman was puzzled as to why the elephants in their massive size and strength would not simply break free from their ropes and escape. Thus, he asked the trainer why they just stood there without escaping.
The trainer explained how the young elephant calves are tied to a strong rope to restrain them. They tug and struggle relentlessly until eventually they submit to the confines of the rope. As they grow, they remain tied to this same size rope. As a result the elephants become bound by a false belief in their hopeless restrictions…a false reality that permeates into the very depths of their spirits.
Quite often we too hang on to false beliefs that have become ingrained into our subconscious. Perhaps there were words of defeat spoken to us as children or throughout difficult times of our lives. Perhaps years of negativity experienced throughout a relationship has left us with feelings of inadequacy and a false perception of who we truly are. Or perhaps we may have gone through a series of trials that have left us defeated and somewhat cynical.
Nevertheless beneath the confines of our mind's limitations, lies a world of hope. Beyond the restraints of our false fears lies a life of unlimited possibilities. In order to discover what truly lies within us, we must break free from these fears and restrictions. As children of God created, not for failure, but for victory, we must soar beyond any past defeats knowing He will guide us toward becoming the person He intended us to become.
It takes time to shed those misconceptions. However, regardless of our age or stage of life, each new day is an opportunity to make a conscious effort to grow towards the truth. We must decide each morning to step out of our comfort zone and do something new (i.e. reach out to meet with someone who has been on our mind; offer to help a difficult co-worker; volunteer at church, school, nonprofit, etc.; take someone to their doctor's appointment; learn a new hobby; take a public speaking course, etc.). It need be nothing on a grandiose scale…a simple act of kindness will do.
I guarantee you a bit of discomfort will bring a profound sense of accomplishment and inspire you to overcome your limitations. Set your goals. Begin with baby steps, and you will gain the confidence and satisfaction to stretch yourself even further. Then at the end of each day, bask in your accomplishments and plan your next step.
A couple of years ago after taking up horseback riding, I came to recognize a parallel between life and a particular aspect of my riding. At times I have a tendency to look down while riding. Whether I'm trying to gauge the position of my reins or watch my horse, my trainer is constantly "hollering" at me to "stop looking down and look up!" He reminds me to look up in the direction of where I want to go, and then warns me if I look down, that is exactly where I'll end up…on the ground!
So it is with life as well. We must look up and focus on our future. Don't look back at what you thought you couldn't possibly do, but look forward to the unlimited possibilities God has placed before you.
The elephants were conditioned to believe they couldn't escape. Had they stepped out beyond the confines of their ropes, they would have discovered their freedom. However, they remained trapped in the prisons of their minds. We, however, through the grace and power of God, have the ability to defeat our fears and limitations.
Today is a new day…a day to discover what is holding you back and to face your self-doubts–leaving them forever behind you. So don't waste another moment. Step out in faith, and never look back!
this subject matter, it may not be a taboo subject but usually people don't speak about these issues.
Thank you for your feedback! Again, if we can step out of our comfort zone, decide to try something new, we can conquer our fears and move closer to who we were truly intended to become. Blessings to you!
I'm glad you stumbled upon us…thank you!


The critique of natural theology since Kant has been that God is not an object of possible experience. I think the claim involves a confusion of experience and sensation, and that experience is a more subtle concept that can include God, even apart from mystical or religious experience.
Start with the title of the post. When said without qualification, we're talking about the sort of thing an employer is looking for, or a thing that comes from maturity. We mean there is some domain of action or thought that we've become acquainted with over time, and this acquaintance has given us a nose for what is important, a facility in dealing with it, and perhaps a narrative or two of how things work in this domain. We assume, in other words, that experience involves not just sensation but insight and the grasp of something significant. If you ask your uncle about his experience in Vietnam, you expect something out of him beyond a mere catalog of sense impressions. If he tells you nothing but "it was hot" you assume he wants to tell you the most significant thing about the place, or at least the most significant thing he is willing to talk about.
Experience, in other words, goes beyond mere awareness or sensation or consciousness. You can't just grab a couch cushion and call it an experience of a cushion. "To experience the couch" sounds more like an advertising slogan because it means you've discovered something significant about becoming acquainted with it. The sensation has found a context under a hypothesis, insight, governing idea, coherent narrative, etc.
It follows that "to experience an object" can either mean to encounter it (a) as a part of the sensation, or (b) as part of the ordering idea. In natural theology, no one encounters God as (a) – and theologians even give many proofs for why this cannot be done. But they insist that God is experienced as (b), as a creator, a guarantor of rationality, a primary agent, etc.. Plantinga would add that God is not the only thing so experienced as a (b) that is not (a), but that this class also includes the extra-subjective existence of the world, other minds, etc..

swore. In Récanoz, the animals in the shelter will also discover the magic of Christmas
"It is a place that repairs. Animals and people. Sandra Aujard, who is part of the female trio that in 2022 created, on 22 ha, the AFFA refuge and pension l'Arche de Jules, is happy to open the site to the public this Sunday, December 18. Together with Pierrine Guérin and Audrey Thévenot, as well as all the volunteers who accompany them on a daily basis, they decided to organize the very first Christmas for animals.
Santa in sled dogs, the Snow Queen and Olaf on horseback
"The idea is to offer toys to our dogs that they can choose themselves," smiles Sandra Aujard. Around this time, the magic of Christmas will work with the arrival of Santa in sled dogs and a representation on horseback with the Snow Queen and Olaf in person. Because the pension l'Arche du Jules also welcomes horses. "Pierrine is a magician with horses, I can't wait to discover what she has prepared", comments Sandra Aujard.
The public will be able to meet animals for adoption, dogs and cats. "We have eight places in the refuge and twenty-five places in the cattery. We are looking for financial support to build twelve new places for the dogs because we are already tight. Being recognized as being in the public interest allows our donors to benefit from tax exemption. »
Animals that have suffered
Since opening, the shelter has taken in animals that their owners can no longer keep due to, for example, death or illness. But also animals that have suffered. Like Gallan, who lived his entire life tied to a five-foot rope and arrived dying. "We offered him four months of tenderness, outings, contact with people… Everything he didn't know. And then there's the story of this abused dog who was picked up by the shelter and who fell in love with his new owner. "He have a good life today," explains Sandra Aujard. And these love at first sight between animals and people, it's so beautiful. We are so lucky to see them often. »
But some dogs unfortunately do not find their new family, like Skype who is 16 months old. "He arrived as a baby and we hope he will find a family that can love him," sighs Sandra Aujard. We sometimes see the dark side of people who mistreat animals and it is very hard. But we also meet lots of adopters and volunteers who are fantastic. Everyone comes with what they want to give, the desire to do their part. It brings hope. »

(WILSON, N.C., Jan. 28, 2007) — A standing ovation said it all on Sunday afternoon when the crowd of 400 applauded the remarks of illustrator and cartoonist Marcus Hamilton at The National Scholastic Art Awards ceremony for the Eastern /Central North Carolina Region. As an air of creativity filled Wilson Gymnasium on the Barton College campus, middle school and high school students from across the piedmont and eastern regions of North Carolina were joined by their families and teachers for this prestigious event. Barton has served as host and regional sponsor of the art awards ceremony for the past 29 years.
Hamilton, a 1965 graduate of Atlantic Christian College (now Barton) and the featured speaker for the awards ceremony, shared his inspirational story with students, parents and teachers. His story began with an early love for drawing that evolved into a career as a freelance illustrator for a number of national publications including "The Saturday Evening Post," "Golf Digest," "U.S. News & World Report," and "Changing Times" magazines, among others. He also described his disenchantment with commercial art when the evolution of computer graphic arts began to replace the painstaking hand-drawn work. Through a series of serendipitous events, Hamilton discovered that Hank Ketcham, creator of the "Dennis the Menace" comic strip, was interested in retiring, and he contacted this patriarch of the comic panel. Ketcham was impressed with the work Hamilton sent and decided to offer him the opportunity to learn the intricacies of drawing his beloved "Dennis." And, after an extended apprenticeship, Ketcham handed over the daily "Dennis" comic strip to Hamilton in October 1995.
Hamilton's career has had its highs and lows over the years, but he said preparedness and perseverance carried him through the difficult periods. He encouraged the young artists in the audience to use these same tools as they developed their talent and pursued their dreams. Hamilton ended his remarks to the audience by drawing the mischievous "Dennis," complete with his signature nose, freckles and cowlick.
The Scholastic Art Awards, Inc. conducts a visual art awards program for middle and high school students in the United States. Entries from virtually all fifty states are submitted for competition in this nationally renowned program. Barton College hosts the largest regional district in North Carolina representing 62 counties from the piedmont to the coast.


The orginal artwork for the last two pages of the Tintin comic book King Ottokar's Sceptre was sold for a total of €1.046 million at an auction on Saturday in Paris.
"This is only the second time a Tintin plate has exceeded a million euros," Eric Leroy, comic book expert at French auction house Artcurial, said.
A double page plate also from King Ottokar's Sceptre was sold for more than 1.5 million euros at Sotheby's in Paris in October.
Artcurial had estimated Saturday's lot would fetch between €600,000 and €800,000, before fees.
"Herge's universe still conquers," added Leroy, referring to the cartoonist behind the famous comic.
The work in blue watercolor, gouache and ink was bought on the phone "by a European collector, a long-time fan", said Leroy.
The seller is popular French singer Renaud, 63 year-old, who has recently released a new album.
Published in 1939, King Ottokar's Sceptre is the eighth instalment of the adventures of the intrepid boy reporter by the Belgian artist Herge.
Intended by Herge as criticism of Nazi Germany, Tintin helps thwart a plot to overthrow the king of a fictional Central European country which is threatened by an aggressive neighbour.
Tintin works are becoming increasingly popular with collectors.
An ink drawing for the cover pages of the Tintin books published from 1937 to 1958 was sold for 2.65 million euros by Artcurial in 2014, a world record.


With ChiZine.com refocussing to feature their own publications, the folks at Apex Magazine have been good enough to host my short story review column, Clavis Aurea. The first installment is out today – check it out! Every second Thursday from now on.
My short story reviews are up at ChiZine.com! Check 'em out.
Because my children are very small, they do not, at this stage, look for themselves in books. Their brains don't work like that yet – they take themselves for granted, since they are the centre of the universe, and they look instead for the people they see around them. Oonagh, who is two, likes to find Maggie, who is five. They point out when characters look like Mommy. And they get very special delight out of finding Daddy.
I am a big believer that representation in media matters, especially to children. Kids learn from books. That's why we read to them so willingly. I am constantly on the lookout not just for books that represent the kids in diverse ways, but the families as well. Kids can learn to be ashamed of or embarrassed by their family situation at a shockingly young age, and I'm keen to head that off at the pass. Your daddy isn't a bad guy, girls, no matter what Disney likes to say.
I have recommended Jill Thompson's Magic Trixie here before, but it has recently re-emerged as a favourite in this house. Maggie recommended it for Keep Toronto Reading two years ago.
I have a lot of reasons for loving Magic Trixie, as a geeky parent. It's a graphic novel, a form intrinsic to my childrens' nerd heritage. It features cool, quirky children depicted in age-appropriate ways, unlike the similar-but-actually-completely-reprehensible Monster High brand. It's funny, readable and beautiful. It shows a variety of (admittedly heteronormative) families of many colours and, best of all, the daddy looks like Daddy.
Though, real Daddy does not, sadly, ride a bitchin' broom.
Fighting the tide of crummy media representation is a huge chore, made harder if you have specific characters you are looking for in your stories. Kids don't need to see their family everywhere, but when they see families depicted in only one way over and over – they get the message. We've tried to balance things in our house.
Pop over to Jim C. Hines's blog and read his ongoing series of guest-posts about representation. There are some heartbreaking stories, but also some fantastic recommendations. However you or your family identify, there is great fiction to identify with. The trick is just finding it.
See? Not at all evil. Maybe a little evil. In a fun way.

Benjamin Netanyahu narrowly wins elections
Publish date : 23 January, 2013
JERUSALEM: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his hard-line allies fared far worse than expected in a parliamentary election Tuesday, likely forcing him to reach across the aisle to court a popular political newcomer to cobble together a new coalition.
While Netanyahu appeared positioned to serve a third term as prime minister, the results marked a major setback for his policies and could force him to make new concessions to restart long-stalled peace talks with the Palestinians.
More than 99 percent of the votes had been counted by Wednesday morning and results showed the hawkish and dovish blocs were split about evenly.
Netanyahu's most likely partner was Yesh Atid, or There is a Future, a party headed by political newcomer Yair Lapid that showed surprising strength. Lapid has said he would only join a government committed to sweeping economic changes and a resumption of peace talks with the Palestinians.
Addressing his supporters early Wednesday, Netanyahu vowed to form as broad a coalition as possible. He said the next government would be built on principles that include reforming the contentious system of granting draft exemptions to ultra-Orthodox Jewish men and the pursuit of a "genuine peace" with the Palestinians. He did not elaborate, but the message seemed aimed at Lapid.
Shortly after the results were announced, Netanyahu called Lapid and offered to work together. "We have the opportunity to do great things together," Netanyahu was quoted as saying by Likud officials.
Netanyahu's Likud-Yisrael Beitenu alliance was set to capture about 31 of the 120 seats, significantly fewer than the 42 it held in the outgoing parliament and below the forecasts of recent polls.
With his traditional allies of nationalist and religious parties, Netanyahu could put together a shaky majority of 61 seats, results showed. But it would be virtually impossible to keep such a narrow coalition intact, though it was possible he could take an additional seat or two as numbers trickled in throughout the night.
The results capped a lackluster campaign in which peacemaking with the Palestinians, traditionally the dominant issue in Israeli politics, was pushed aside. Netanyahu portrayed himself as the only candidate capable of leading Israel at a turbulent time, while the fragmented opposition targeted him on domestic economic issues.
Netanyahu's goal of a broader coalition will force him to make some difficult decisions. Concessions to Lapid, for instance, will alienate his religious allies. In an interview last week with The Associated Press, Lapid said he would not be a "fig leaf" for a hard-line, extremist agenda.
Lapid's performance was the biggest surprise of the election. The one-time TV talk show host and son of a former Cabinet minister was poised to win 19 seats, giving him the second-largest faction in parliament. Presenting himself as the defender of the middle class, Lapid vowed to take on Israel's high cost of living and to end the contentious system of subsidies and draft exemptions granted to ultra-Orthodox Jews while they pursue religious studies. The expensive system has bred widespread resentment among the Israeli mainstream.
Thanks to his strong performance, Lapid is now in a position to serve as the kingmaker of the next government. He will likely seek a senior Cabinet post and other concessions.
Yaakov Peri, a member of Lapid's party, said it would not join unless the government pledges to begin drafting the ultra-Orthodox into the military, lowers the country's high cost of living and returns to peace talks. "We have red lines. We won't cross those red lines, even if it will cost us sitting in the opposition," Peri told Channel 2 TV.
Addressing his supporters, a beaming Lapid was noncommittal, calling only for a broad government with moderates from left and right. "Israelis said no to the politics of fear and hatred," he said. "And they said no to extremism and anti-democracy."
There was even a distant possibility of Lapid and more dovish parties teaming up to block Netanyahu from forming a majority.
"It could be that this evening is the beginning for a big chance to create an alternative government to the Netanyahu government," said Shelly Yachimovich, leader of the Labor Party, which won 15 seats on a platform pledging to narrow the gaps between rich and poor.
Although that seemed unlikely, Netanyahu clearly emerged from the election in a weakened state.
"We expected more seats in the parliament," Danny Danon, a senior Likud member, told the AP. "But the bottom line is that Benjamin Netanyahu is the next prime minister of Israel."
Under Israel's system of proportional representation, seats in the 120-member parliament are allocated according to the percentage of votes a party gets. As leader of the largest party, Netanyahu is in the best position to form a coalition and be prime minister.
The results were shocking, given the steady stream of recent opinion polls forecasting a solid victory by Netanyahu and his allies. Netanyahu appeared to suffer because of his close ties to the ultra-Orthodox and perhaps from complacency. Many voters chose smaller parties, believing a Netanyahu victory was inevitable.
Tensions with the United States, Israel's most important ally, also may have factored into the thinking. President Barack Obama was quoted last week as saying that Netanyahu was undermining Israel's own interests by continuing to build Jewish settlements on occupied lands.
Netanyahu has won praise at home for drawing the world's attention to Iran's suspect nuclear program and for keeping the economy on solid ground at a time of global turmoil. In his speech, Netanyahu said that preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons would remain his top priority.
But internationally, he has repeatedly clashed with allies over his handling of the peace process.
Peace talks with the Palestinians have remained stalled throughout his term, in large part because of his continued construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The Palestinians want a halt to settlement construction before talks begin. Netanyahu says talks must start without any preconditions.
Obama has had a turbulent relationship with Netanyahu, and the two leaders could find themselves on a collision course in their new terms. The Obama administration said that regardless of the results of the election, the U.S. approach to the conflict would not change.
"We will continue to make clear that only through direct negotiations can the Palestinians and the Israelis … achieve the peace they both deserve," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
In London, British Foreign Secretary William Hague urged Obama to make the Middle East peace process his top priority. "We are approaching the last chance to bring about such a solution," Hague warned.
Netanyahu himself has only grudgingly voiced conditional support for a Palestinian state, and his own party is now dominated by hard-liners who oppose even that. A potential coalition partner, Naftali Bennett of the Jewish Home Party, which won 11 seats, has called for annexing large parts of the West Bank, the core of any future Palestinian state.
While Lapid advocates a softer line toward the Palestinians, his campaign focused on economic issues and it remains unclear how hard he will push Netanyahu on the issue.
Lapid's positions also fall short of Palestinian demands. Most critically, he opposes any division of Jerusalem. The Palestinians seek the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, for a future state.
The Palestinians viewed the election results grimly.
"If he brings Lapid into his government, this would improve the image of the Netanyahu government in the eyes of the world. But it won't make him stop building settlements, particularly in east Jerusalem," said Mohammed Ishtayeh, a senior adviser to President Mahmoud Abbas.
In all, 32 parties contested the election, and 12 won enough votes to enter parliament, according to the exit polls. Netanyahu now has up to six weeks to form a government.


Yesterday (Wednesday), we revealed number 6 in the countdown from 10 to 1 of the list of best City victories from throughout the 2014-15 season. Number 6 was of course the 2-1 victory against MK Dons at Stadium mk, early in the season; quick fire goals scored by Aaron Mclean, and Billy Clarke confirmed the victory that night. At 5, it's the 2-1 away win at Preston North End; like MK Dons, North End were also promoted to the Championship.
The Bantams produced a magnificent victory at Deepdale, and it was a defeat for North End that was ultimately the only one they suffered on their own patch throughout the whole of the 2014-15 season, and in fact their only league loss at Deepdale since December 2013.
Rory McArdle's deflected header mid-way through the first half gave City the lead, and it was one that stunned the hosts, who were attempting to move into the automatic promotion places with victory; Bradford were in the bottom half of the table going into this one.
City repelled Preston pressure, but the barricade was broken with 5 minutes remaining, as League One Player of the Year Joe Garner equalised for Simon Grayson's side.
The Bantams spent no time feeling sorry for themselves though, and straight from the restart, they went up the other end and scored a great team goal, Mark Yeates with the decisive touch, curling into the far corner from outside the area to spark wild celebrations. The win was a real turning point for Phil Parkinson's men, who won four and drew two of their next six league matches.
Press play on the YouTube video below, to watch highlights of the victory at Deepdale.
We will be bringing you number 4 in the list tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled!

Refinance closing costs add thousands of dollars to a home loan. If they are rolled in, that amount can easily double over the life of the loan. Is adding thousands to your loan ever a good idea?
If refinancing puts you in a much better financial situation in the long run, it might be worth the cost. This could be the case if, for instance, you have an adjustable-rate mortgage and your interest and payments are increasing substantially.
Another reason might be that you have a great deal of credit card debt and need a consolidation loan. Home loans traditionally have much better interest rates and spread the debt over a longer period. You should consider this option only if you are truly in danger of bankruptcy.
It may also be a good idea if you are able to secure a much better interest rate than you currently have. This is true only when the change in rate is sufficient to far exceed the closing costs over the life of the loan.
Don't be fooled by advertisements that offer home improvement loans that will "give you the house of your dreams." Using these loans to do home improvements that are not absolutely necessary can end up costing you far more than what the improvements are worth. It makes more financial sense to save up and do the improvements a little at a time.
Refinancing to make purchases or take trips is not usually a good idea either. You may want to use the assets you've accumulated to buy something you've always wanted or to do something you truly want to do. However, using your equity in this way means you will be paying at least several thousand dollars extra in closing costs for whatever it is. You may also lose a great deal of your financial stability. Is it really worth the extra cost?
The closing costs involved with refinancing will cause you to take a giant leap backward. If you get a new loan within five years of the original one, you probably haven't accumulated enough in principal to compensate for the closing costs. These costs will effectively wipe out years of payments.
There is also mortgage insurance to consider. If your equity drops below 20 percent, you will almost certainly have to carry mortgage insurance. This insurance is money you pay to protect the finance company in case you default. It doesn't help you at all.
If you do decide to refinance shop for the best loan, negotiate your closing costs and try to pay as much of them out of pocket as possible. Your equity is financial strength. It helps determine your credit rating and therefore makes anything you buy on credit cheaper. It is often the greatest asset in your net worth, and it is a savings account that is one of the keys to a bright future. Refinance closing costs will only erode the asset you have worked so hard to build.

Q: Custom PHP endpoint for a plugin's AJAX call I am writing a plugin for the first time, and I have a problem.
I am using AJAX in my plugin. My JavaScript file is in the folder ../wp-content/plugins/myplugin/js/ , and in it I am trying to call a PHP file, which is in the folder ../wp-content/plugins/myplugin/
jQuery.ajax({
    url: "/wp-content/plugins/myplugin/myfile.php?myparam=" + myparam,
    context: document.body
});

My question is: How can I get this URL reference work independent of, where the user installed the plugin.
Because when for example a user install this plugin in http://localhost/subdir/, the reference is not correct.
Can I somehow create a relative link ?

A: First of all, you shouldn't call your own PHP file. You should use admin-ajax endpoint. Documentation
On admin side, you could use ajaxurl to get URL for AJAX calls. On front side you have to declare by yourself variable with url. This is written in documentation:

Note: Unlike on the admin side, the ajaxurl javascript global does not get automatically defined for you, unless you have BuddyPress or another Ajax-reliant plugin installed. So instead of relying on a global javascript variable, declare a javascript namespace object with its own property, ajaxurl. You might also use wp_localize_script() to make the URL available to your script, and generate it using this expression: admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )

This should resolve problem:
add_action( 'wp_head', 'front_ajaxurl' );
function front_ajaxurl() {
    wp_register_script( 'admin_ajax_front', plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . 'script.js' );
    $translation_array = array(
        'ajaxurl' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )
    );
    wp_localize_script( 'admin_ajax_front', 'front', $translation_array );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'admin_ajax_font', false, array(), false, true ); // last param set to true will enqueue script on footer
}

And then in your JS file:
$.ajax({
    url: front.ajaxurl,
    ...
})

A: I'm a beginner, but this worked for me
Add the following in functions.php. Note that 'wp_ajax' is a prefix by convention and 'do_something' is my arbitrarily chosen action name:
add_action( 'wp_ajax_do_something', 'do_something' );

function do_something() {
    //really, go ahead, do something
    die("return something");
}

To make the ajax call from the browser (client side), I was able to find my endpoint using wp.ajax.settings.url. wp global var is defined on the window object.
//do_something here must match above, you can add other params to this obj
var data = { action: 'do_something' };
jQuery.post(wp.ajax.settings.url, data, function(response) {
    console.log('Result: ' + response);
});

I have WordPress 4.6.1 (latest on time of writing) and some plugins installed. I referred to this reference that incorrectly says that ajaxurl is defined, but it's not in my case: https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX_in_Plugins

A: I faced the same issue.
I wanted to use my own endpoint instead the admin-ajax endpoint because I have rewrite rules populating all the variables I need to run the ajax actions.
Thus, using (as said in the codex)
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    var data = {
        'action': 'my_action',
        'whatever': ajax_object.we_value      // We pass php values differently!
    };
    jQuery.post(ajax_object.ajax_url, data, function(response) {
        alert('Got this from the server: ' + response);
    });
});

and
add_action( 'wp_ajax_my_action', 'my_action' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_my_action', 'my_action' );

just makes my code more complicated.
I ended up doing this and it seems to work:
    jQuery.ajax({
        type: "post",
        url: MYCUSTOMENDPOINT?ajax_action,
        dataType: 'json',
        ...

combined with:
    add_action( 'init', 'rewrite_rules');
    add_filter( 'template_include','handle_ajax_action');

function rewrite_rules(){
    add_rewrite_tag(
        '%ajax_action%',
        '([^&]+)'
    );
}

function handle_ajax_action($template){

    $success = null;

    // since the "ajax" query variable does not require a value, we need to check for its existence
    if ( !$action = get_query_var( 'ajax_action' ) ) return $template; //ajax action does not exists

    $result = array(
        'input' =>  $_REQUEST,
        'message'=> null,
        'success'=> null,
    );

    $success = ...

    if ( is_wp_error($success) ){
        $result['success'] = false;
        $result['message'] = $success->get_error_message();

    }else{
        $result['success'] = $success;
    }

    header('Content-type: application/json');
    send_nosniff_header();
    header('Cache-Control: no-cache');
    header('Pragma: no-cache');

    wp_send_json( $result );

}

Current MCLR rate of UCO Bank ranges from 8.15% to 8.70% varying by reset frequency of the loan. UCO Bank revises MCLR rates on a monthly basis and benchmark its interest rates for home loan and other loans to MCLR rates of different tenor.
Effective 1st April 2016, UCO Bank has been directed by RBI to fix its loan interest rates benchmarked to MCLR rate which is based on its marginal cost of funds. Earlier, the bank fixed its loan interest rates to Base Rate, which was based on total cost of funds of the bank. UCO Bank MCLR rates for different tenors range from 8.15% to 8.70%.
RBI allows banks to set their own MCLR Rate based on their marginal cost of funds which means the cost of raising new funds for the bank. So, UCO Bank decides and announces its MCLR rate regularly based on prescribed formula and policy rate changes by RBI in its monetary policy.
Note that the RBI does not decide the MCLR Rate of any bank. RBI only announces the repo rate, which influences the cost of raising new funds for the bank. Banks may or may not decide to change their MCLR rate in response to changes in the repo rate. For instance, UCO Bank may decide to bring a lower cut in their MCLR rate compared to a Repo Rate cut. If RBI cuts the repo rate by 50 basis points or 0.5%, UCO Bank may decide to cut its 1 Year MCLR rate only by 0.25% based on its internal funding and liquidity position. Hence, it is important to compare the MCLR rate change of UCO Bank with that of RBI Repo Rate and MCLR Rate changes of other banks before taking a decision to take a loan from UCO Bank.
MCLR rate can be revised by UCO Bank every month. However, it is not mandatory for UCO Bank to revise its rate every month and it may choose to retain the same rate for a longer period keeping them unchanged.
Every floating rate loan sanctioned by UCO Bank is benchmarked to its MCLR Rate for a particular tenure, say 1 month or 3 month or 6 months.
Your loan from UCO Bank will be repriced periodically depending upon the tenure of the MCLR to which it is linked. UCO Bank home loan rate is benchmarked to 1 Year MCLR Base Rate which will be repriced after 1 Year. Say, you take a loan from UCO Bank at current 1 Year MCLR rate of 8.70% plus spread of 20 bps. So, the loan will initially be priced at 8.9%. Its next re-pricing will be done after 1 Year from now. If the 3 Month MCLR rate after 1 Year increases by 10 bps, the loan will be priced at 9% for the next period.
UCO Bank's registered office is located at 10, BTM Sarani, Barbourne Road, 7th Floor Kolkata West Bengal-700001 .
UCO Bank's management is led by its CEO Mr. Arun Kaul.
UCO Bank has reduced its Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR) across all tenors for the month of March. The move is supposed to make home loans, auto loans and other loans cheaper. Now for 1 month, the MCLR stands at 8.25% while for 3 months, the rate has been revised to 8.35% and for six months the rate has been revised to 8.60% respectively. The revised rates are effective from March 10, 2019.
UCO Bank has maintained its MCLR for the month of November. The rates continue to be in the range of 8.10% to 8.65%. Six-month MCLR is at 8.55% and that of one year is 8.65%. The new rates are effective from November 10, 2018.
UCO Bank has raised MCLR by upto 10 basis points. The new rates for Six months MCLR now stand at 8.55% and that of one year is 8.65%. The revised rates are effective from September 10, 2018.
UCO Bank has maintained its MCLR for the month of August. The rates continue to be in the range of 8.00% to 8.55%. Six month MCLR is now at 8.45% and that of one year is 8.55%. The rates are effective from August 10, 2018.
Public sector lender, UCO Bank has reduced its marginal cost based lending rate (MCLR) across all tenors. For overnight and one month maturities, the rate has been revised to 8 per cent and 8.1 per cent, while for three month and six month maturities the rate has been reduced to 8.15 per cent and 8.35 per cent respectively. The new MCLR rates are effective from 10th September, 2017.

Research on a human-cat link on ancient Silk Road
In some news for cat lovers, new analyses done on an almost-complete cat skeleton found during an excavation
| 11 July 2020 10:43 AM GMT
In some news for cat lovers, new analyses done on an almost-complete cat skeleton found during an excavation along the former Silk Road in southern Kazakhstan indicates that common domestic cats, as we know them today, might have accompanied Kazakh pastoralists as pets more than 1,000 years ago.
An international research team led by Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), Korkyt-Ata Kyzylorda State University in Kazakhstan, the University of Tubingen and the Higher School of Economics in Russia has reconstructed the cat's life, revealing astonishing insights into the relationship between humans and pets at the time, the study said.
The tomcat - which was examined by a team led by Dr Ashleigh Haruda from the Central Natural Science Collections at MLU - did not have an easy life. "The cat suffered several broken bones during its lifetime," says Haruda. And yet, based on a very conservative estimate, the animal had most likely made it past its first year of life. For Haruda and her colleagues, this is a clear indication that people had taken care of this cat.
During a research stay in Kazakhstan, the scientist examined the findings of an excavation in Dzhankent, an early medieval settlement in the south of the country which had been mainly populated by the Oghuz, a pastoralist Turkic tribe. The settlement was located along the Silk Road, an ancient network of important caravan routes that connected Central and East Asia with the Mediterranean region by land. There she discovered a very well-preserved skeleton of a cat. (IANS)

That second job is coming along just fine. Just fine indeed. I guess they agree because I got to order my business cards. I'm sooo official.
If I wasn't so obsessed with constantly challenging myself to eat different things, I might be inclined to eat chick pea tacos every night. So delish.
The love for Stoopy keeps on coming. I have some very thoughtful, amazing, supportive friends out there. Thanks J1!
And just so you know…Victoria is totally safe from the walking dead.
Thank goodness. That whole having to learn to shoot people in the head thing was really bothering me.

Home / National News / More Immigrant Entrepreneurs Becoming Canadian Permanent Residents Through Start-up Visa Program
"The start-up visa started slowly, but has steadily picked up steam," says Arif Virani, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.
More Immigrant Entrepreneurs Becoming Canadian Permanent Residents Through Start-up Visa Program
in National News May 5, 2016	0
OTTAWA, Ontario May 5, – The Canadian government says more immigrant entrepreneurs are coming to Canada through the Start-up Visa Program and the benefits are spreading growth and opportunity to middle-class families across the country.
The program targets immigrant entrepreneurs with the skills and potential to build innovative businesses in Canada that can create jobs for Canadians and compete on a global scale.
"The start-up visa started slowly, but has steadily picked up steam," Arif Virani, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, said today. "Every start-up that is established, here, has the potential to provide jobs and economic opportunity for Canadians, contributing to our country's growth and diversity."
As of Monday, May 2, 51 entrepreneurs had become permanent residents of Canada through the program, representing 26 start-ups that have launched or will be launching in communities across Canada, including Sydney, Halifax, Fredericton, Toronto, Mississauga, Waterloo, Thunder Bay, Calgary, Whistler, Vancouver and Victoria.
The Start-up Visa Program is drawing successful applicants from a diverse range of countries, including Australia, China, Costa Rica, Egypt, India, Iran, South Africa and Uruguay, and across a number of industries, including technology, food product manufacturing, education, medical research, banking, human resources, and advertising.
This five-year pilot program allows entrepreneurs, who have the support of a designated Canadian entity, to apply for permanent residence as they establish their company in Canada.
The government says demand for the program is growing, with more than 50 additional permanent resident applications still in process from entrepreneurs, from around the world, who have the support of a designated Canadian venture capital fund, angel investor group or business incubator to launch their start-ups in Canada.
