FPJ Web Desk
Veteran Odia actor Mihir Das passed away on Tuesday (January 11). He was 63.
According to a report in India Today, Das was admitted to a private hospital in Cuttack a month ago after suffering a heart attack. He was in a critical state but was responding to treatment at that time.
The actor had been suffering from kidney ailments for the past few years and had to visit the hospital regularly for dialysis.
Reportedly, Das breathed his last while being treated at a private hospital. After his health condition deteriorated, he was put on ventilator support.
Several politicians and members of the film fraternity condoled Das' death.
Union Education and Skill Development Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also expressed grief over the demise of the actor.
"Pained by the untimely demise of legendary Odia film actor Shri #MihirDas. A fine human being and a household name in Odisha, his performances won million hearts. An elder brother to me, Shri Mihir's passing away is a personal loss. Condolences to his family and admirers," he tweeted.
Das is survived by his son, Amlan Das, who is also an actor.
Das made his acting debut in an Odia art film School Master. He was next seen in Mathura Bijay in 1979.
He had received several awards, notably Best Actor for his films 'Laxmi Pratima' in 1998 and P'heria Mo Suna Bhauni' in 2005 and Best Supporting Actor award for his films 'Rakhi Bandhili Mo Rakhiba Mana' in 2002 and 'Prema Adhei Akhyara' from the Odisha state government.
He was also a popular anchor in socially relevant programmes on television channels.

The US economy is no longer capable of growing fast enough to balance the budget for even a single year, without introducing draconian measures. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that those can be effective given that Greece appears to have emerged from that process successfully. But the U.S. could not go through that process and still remain the "top dog" militarily. So, the trade-weighted value of the U.S. dollar will fall at some point, and we will no longer be able to afford imported goods and services. Before that happens, U.S. citizens will need to gradually move their retirement savings into commodity-related investments, as well as bonds and stocks issued in reserve currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Mission: Use our Standard Spreadsheet to highlight large U.S. and Canadian companies that produce, refine and transport raw commodities, i.e., materials that are extracted from the ground. Select such companies from the 2017 Barron's 500 list, but exclude any that issue bonds with an S&P rating lower than A- or stocks with an S&P rating lower than B+/M.
53.36% of the index represents petroleum products, 32.71% represents row crops, 7.06% represents industrial metals, and 6.91% represents live animals. Ground has to be mined, drilled, or planted & harvested with the help of heavy equipment to yield raw commodities. Those have to be transported by barge, rail, truck, or pipeline before being processed for market.
We find 8 companies that warrant inclusion in this week's Table. Seven are obviously appropriate, but the presence of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) needs some explanation (unless you already know it owns the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe railroad). Berkshire Hathaway is the largest shareholder of Phillips 66 (PSX), which has 13 oil refineries and supplies diesel for the largest marketing outlet of that fuel: Pilot Flying J Centers LLC. Berkshire Hathaway purchased 38.6% of that company's stock on October 3, 2017, and plans to increase its stake in 2023 to 80%.
Bottom Line: Commodity futures haven't been a good investment, given that their aggregate value is back to where it was 25 years ago, given that the most recent 20-year supercycle recently finished and another is just starting. Nonetheless, the companies that produce, process, and transport those commodities did well over those 25 years (see Column AB in Table). The problem is the volatility of their stocks (see Column M in the Table), and the extent to which their stocks get whacked when commodities become oversupplied relative to demand (see Column D in the Table). If you choose to own shares in these companies (aside from CNI, BRK-B and perhaps UNP), you'd be flat-out gambling.
Full Disclosure: I dollar-average into UNP, ADM, CAT and XOM, and also own shares of CNI and BRK-B.

St. John Properties builds ahead of demand in Frederick
The Daily Record | Adam Bednar
St. John Properties, aiming to capitalize on growing demand for Fredrick County industrial assets, recently started construction on the first buildings at the Arcadia Business Park.
The first stage of vertical construction includes two flex/research and development buildings totaling 82,200 square feet of space. Work also began on a 112,000-square-foot bulk warehouse. While there's interest from potential tenants, the developer has not yet secured leases. The buildings are slated for delivery this coming summer.
"Classic St. John Properties: We assess the market and build on spec. Our general model is to build out in front of demand," Matt Holbrook, regional partner for St. John Properties, said.
Once complete, the pair of flex properties will provide 16-foot to 18-foot clear ceiling heights, dock and drive-in loading, and suite sizes starting at 2,520 square feet.
The warehouse building will include 32-foot minimum clear heights, 50-foot by 52-foot column spacing, and dock and drive-in loading with a 130-foot deep single-loaded truck court.
At full build-out of the 61-acre Arcadia Business Park is configured for eight buildings totaling roughly 600,000 square feet of space. Plans for the next phase of building, in terms of use, remain flexible.
Efforts to build Arcadia Business Park stretch back more than a decade. But St. John Properties halted the project following the 2008 financial collapse.
During the ensuing decade the developer reconsidered the proposal's program. Officials hope the park's focus on warehouse and flex space benefits from increased demand from biotechnology and e-commerce firms.
"It's just a really well-positioned property. It took a lot of time and patience to get to this place, but we're long-term owners. We're not just looking for the next lease," he said.
Industrial properties remain in high demand throughout Maryland's two major metro areas. But Frederick County straggles in building those assets compared to its neighbors in the Washington metro area.
Fredrick County's inventory of industrial space, warehouse and flex totaled more than 11.3 million square feet at the start of 2018, according to an analysis by CBRE. Prince George's County provided 49.3 million square feet of catalog, and Montgomery County supplied roughly 20.8 million square feet of industrial stock.
E-commerce, as it has in the Baltimore region, continues to drive demand for industrial assets in the Maryland of the District.
As a result, warehouse/distribution properties in Maryland's portion of the Washington metro area attracted most of the new leasing during the previous quarter.
The asset type attracted 254,763 square feet in new deals by the end of September, which, according to Cushman & Wakefield, represents an increase of 395 percent year over year.
New leasing activity in suburban Maryland's flex/office services sector, according to the same report, decreased 48 percent in the third quarter year over year, totaling 101,027 square feet of rented space.
Demand for flex/office services space in Frederick County, Holbrook said, remains in good shape, buoyed by growth of the biotechnology industry along the Interstate 270 bio corridor.
"I think there's healthy demand for (flex space) but it's a very localized play," he said, noting performance for the asset type varies broadly based on location. "(Arcadia Business Park) is right off (Route) 85, and right off (Interstate) 270. So we're confident that it will hit the mark. … (We're) already seeing the biotech demand move up the corridor because space is scarce in Montgomery County."
Research on the local market supports Holbrook's bullish viewpoint. Cushman & Wakefield's most recent projections expect the industrial market in suburban Maryland to continuing breaking in favor of developers and landlords.
"The Suburban Maryland industrial market is well-positioned to benefit from rising rental rates, low supply and the boom in eCommerce. As rental rates move increasingly closer to those in central business districts, tenants seeking large blocks of space at affordable prices could be pushed farther out," according to Cushman & Wakefield's outlook.

(Nanowerk News) The Nano 2012 R&D programme was officially launched in 2008, bringing together IBM's research centres at Fishkill and Albany, New York state, STMicroelectronics and CEA-Leti.
It got the go-ahead in April following the signature of a framework agreement setting forth the programme's objectives and the responsibilities of the various partners.
Nano 2012 is a cooperation program which aims to boost the technological lead and competitive position of the Grenoble area in the changing conditions of the global semiconductor industry and consolidate its leadership position in the development of (32 and 22 nm) CMOS technologies and derivative technologies for system-on-chips (embedded memory, analog/RF devices, etc.).
Over the next five years Nano 2012 will be allocated a €2.3bn R&D budget with a further €1.25bn for capital investment, making it one of France's biggest industrial projects. National and local government are providing substantial support for the project, contributing some €457m. Realization of this project will make Grenoble- Isere a global centre for tomorrow's nanoelectronics, with potential for creating about 650 jobs in the Grenoble area. In just 10 years more than €6bn will have been invested in micro and nano-electronics in Grenoble-Isere.

Women's soccer, where diving isn't the order of the day
Sports // Bruce Jenkins
Bruce Jenkins
Pressing issues as soccer moves into summer:
-- I heard from many viewers who couldn't get past the diving, play-acting and injury-faking and stopped watching the World Cup. The U.S. team was largely admirable in this category, although "diving is part of the game," said goalkeeper Tim Howard. "Whatever team I've been on, it's always, if you feel contact in the box, go down."
Interesting, though: You'll see a great deal less skulduggery when the women's World Cup unfolds in Canada next year (June 6-July 5). "I actually think women don't like that side of the game," former U.S. star Julie Foudy told the New York Times. "Women play far too honest sometimes. They take the hit, ride the tackle and stay on their feet, when they would have drawn a foul if they'd gone down."
Foudy went on to say, "I think that will change. My cynical side tells me that as women get more sophisticated and the stakes get higher, it will become more prevalent." Foudy would know best, but I'm taking the other side. I can't say exactly why, but I see the women's game forever upholding the honor of honest competition.
-- Allowing just three substitutions per game is traditional - not to mention primitive and unacceptable. At the very least, teams should get a fourth sub if the game goes into extra time - and six sounds like a more reasonable number. As the game creeps out of the dark ages and deals with concussions, there should be no hesitation in quickly removing someone who took a hard blow to the head.
-- All of which suggests: Exactly what's wrong with allowing substituted players to come back into the game? This would be of immeasurable value during penalty-kick shootouts, and it just makes sense by any measure. Exhausted players deserve a break, not dismissal.
Shopping PCR vs. antigen testing: what's the difference?
-- The World Cup aftermath left South Africa and now Brazil with massive, expensive stadiums likely bound for decay. Russia in 2018? The majority of stadiums will have to be built from scratch. Why not trade such wasteful undertakings for infrastructures largely in place?

Q: Cookie is not being found by subdomain, even if domain specification uses .domain.com I need some help on a issue here. I'm developing a system in my work that uses an third-party authentication, so my user clicks on a button in my login screen, then he's redirected to the authentication website, that checks his login data, then, when succeeded, the user is redirected again to my system. In the middle of this process, there's a Java service that sets a cookie with the login data (things like name, e-mail, token). I programmed my app (it's made using React) on the Login screen to check if the cookie exists, and check if the token exists inside the cookie, if it's true, the system redirects to the main menu screen.
The problem is, using google chrome (103.0.5060.134 on Mac) the cookie can't be found. When I use document.cookie on console, it shows an empty string. But, when I use firefox (102.0.1), the cookie appears and the system runs as expected. I discovered too that the problem was not on google chrome specifically, because one of my colleagues uses chrome at the same version as mine, and with the same macbook, and the login works for him.
The website runs on a subdomain.domain.com, and the cookie is set according to this configuration:
var cookie = new StringBuilder(COOKIE_NAME);
cookie.append("=");
cookie.append(cookie_info);
cookie.append("; Version=1; Path=/; Domain=");
cookie.append(domainRedirect);
cookie.append("; Discard; SameSite=Lax; Secure");

With domainRedirect being .domain.com, COOKIE_NAME being auth_information and cookie_info a JSON object with the data parsed to string.
Trying to solve the problem, I discovered that if you edit the cookie on chrome changing anything on it and reload the page, the cookie is now seen by the browser. If you put a space on user's name it will work.
So, I'm really stucked at this, I tried changing the configuration on all of this token properties like SameSite, Secure, domain and path, but I'm confused about this behavior. Does anyone have a clue about it? Thank you a lot.

With Christmas around the corner, the busy shopping period is now getting into full swing. As small business owners ourselves we thought that we would share with you our guide to an independent Christmas.
There is this picture going viral on Social Media, about how instead of lining a CEO's pockets of a multi-millions pound company, we could choose to buy from someone who would do a little happy dance in their kitchen when they receive our order. Apparently, British families spend an average £300 on Christmas gifts. How about doing a good deed this year and spending at least part of the amount, shopping small? It's time to appreciate quality, transparency and simplicity.
Inspired by nature, beautiful, hand-painted porcelain, unique slices of wood or lovely cushions. Everything touched with a magic wand and enchanted with a magic spell.
Our personal favourite is a Moon Child mug – we love the design, we love the size!
Kasia, the owner of Make My Wonderland, use only Polish materials so when you shop at Make My Wonderland you support Polish entrepreneurs!
Wood Temple is all about love and respect for nature, universe and sustainable design. Their handmade constellation pictures are created from wastes of wood found in forest. Made with a great precision, this excellent quality products will fit beautifully into a modern, eco-friendly interior.
We had a chance to use their skincare and the cosmetics do not only have beautiful smell and texture, but they really work too! The skin is left moisturized and radiant. And we are also fans of their glass packaging.
A Polish brand offering simple, yet beautiful high-quality products inspired by the colours of the sea. Linen clothes, minimalistic jewellery and aesthetic ceramics. All products are handmade and traded fairly.
HopDesign makes the best quality home textiles. As they state on their website, they have been always dreaming about the future of durable products made of natural materials considering the environment. Their goods are manufactured locally in Poland. We love their Graphic Collection line of bedding made of satin weaved 100% cotton. It combines a great design, production ethics and incredibly soft materials, comfortable to sleep in.
They are just a few brands of many we absolutely love and support. Of course, we still believe, our products are perfect Christmas present choices too. And don't forget that Christmas doesn't necessarily have to be all about material presents. We love receiving experiences, courses, treatments and something that seems to be in deficit recently – time!

'Indian players want safety guarantees for Pakistan trip': Bhupathi
Pakistan last week expelled India's ambassador and suspended bilateral trade and all public transport links with India.

Mumbai: Indian tennis players want safety guarantees before they travel to Islamabad for their Davis Cup tie against Pakistan, captain Mahesh Bhupathi said on Wednesday.
Pakistan last week expelled India's ambassador and suspended bilateral trade and all public transport links with its neighbour after New Delhi removed "special status" from its portion of the contested region of Kashmir.
The nuclear-armed neighbours have fought two wars over Kashmir since gaining independence from colonial power Great Britain in 1947. They came close to a third in February after a deadly attack on Indian police by a Pakistan-based militant group resulted in air strikes by both countries.
Bhupathi said security was his main concern for the team.
"We just want guarantees on safety," he told Reuters by email.
The All India Tennis Association (AITA) said on Wednesday they had written to the sport's governing body once again asking them to shift the tie to a neutral venue or to postpone it for a couple of months until tensions simmer down.
The International Tennis Federation (ITF) has already responded to a previous AITA request, saying they were satisfied with the current safety plan in place in Islamabad.
"The recent developments have resulted in an atmosphere which is not conducive for a happy friendly tie between the two teams which have immense respect for each other," AITA General Secretary Hironmoy Chatterjee wrote to the ITF in an email seen by Reuters.
"Whether or not there is a security threat in Islamabad, the moods of the two nations are deeply affected and there is an undercurrent of tension which is perhaps not being taken into account by the Security Agency of ITF in their assessment."
The India association have also asked the ITF to share the security reports from its assessment of the situation in Islamabad and to set up a call between their respective security consultants.
The AITA has named a six-member squad under Bhupathi for the Sept. 14-15 tie.
An Indian tennis team last went to Pakistan in 1964 for a Davis Cup tie, defeating the hosts 4-0, while Pakistan lost 3-2 on their last visit to India in 2006.
Pakistan was forced to host Davis Cup ties at neutral venues for more than a decade as teams refused to travel to the country because of security concerns.
They played their first home tie after a gap of 12 years against Iran in 2017, while Hong Kong was relegated and fined by the ITF after they refused to travel to Pakistan the same year.
India's cricket team have not toured Pakistan since 2007 and bilateral ties between the countries have remained suspended since 2008, although they have met in international competition.
India's sports minister Kiren Rijiju has said the government would not prevent the team from playing the Davis Cup tie in Pakistan as it was not a bilateral series and was organised by a world governing body.

4 Little-Known Reasons Martin Luther King Was An Amazing Leader, Human
A look at the little-known depths of anger, humor, and insight of the famous leader.
[Photo by Tom Hollyman | Getty Images]
By Drake Baer 4 minute Read
Martin Luther King Jr. seems more legend than man.
But if we peer into Dr. King's life, we can see that he was more and less than myth: a person with interior complexity and exterior grace beyond what a textbook can tell you. So let's get to know his intense, hilarious, and prescient sides below.
He Worked With His Anger
MLK was a person, which means he had a range of emotions, just like the rest of us. But, as we've mentioned before, the highest functioning people exercise what psychologists call emotional agility, where you notice an emotion like anger when it arises and then choose a response–rather than suppressing it or getting overwhelmed.
From his autobiography, we can see that Dr. King developed emotional agility from a young age. Like in this anecdote from 1943:
When I was 14, I traveled from Atlanta to Dublin, Georgia, with a dear teacher of mine, Mrs. Bradley [to] participate in an oratorical contest. We were on a bus returning to Atlanta. Along the way, some white passengers boarded the bus, and the white driver ordered us to get up and give the whites our seats. We didn't move quickly enough to suit him, so he began cursing us. I intended to stay right in that seat, but Mrs. Bradley urged me up, saying we had to obey the law. We stood up in the aisle for 90 miles to Atlanta. That night will never leave my memory. It was the angriest I have ever been in my life.
As Columbia Business School professor Hitendra Wadhwa observes, King had to tame his anger in order to become a "messenger of peaceful struggle." King worked hard to maintain his nonviolence and admonished himself when he didn't. A telling example comes from the negotiations to close the Montgomery Bus Boycotts in late 1955. He saw that the talks were headed toward a stalemate, as whites weren't giving up their segregation privileges.
I'm interested in changing the kind of system that produces this kind of man.
Coming home with a "heavy heart" and a "terrible sense of guilt," King recalled his own angry, indignant moments in his autobiography. He continued:
I had spoken hastily and resentfully. Yet I knew that this was no way to solve a problem. 'You must not harbor anger,' I admonished myself. 'You must be willing to suffer the anger of the opponent, and yet not return anger. You must not become bitter. No matter how emotional your opponents are, you must be calm.'"
He Was A Systems Thinker
People who like to talk about innovation are given to bandying about the phrase systems thinking, or understanding how individual elements within a broader system interact with one another.
The holism in King's nonviolence was a type of systems thinking. He saw how the racist relates to racism. As Wadhwa notes, King came face to face with it in September 1962. For as he was giving a speech, a white member of a Nazi party jumped onstage and repeatedly punched him in the face. Security took him away–and King didn't press charges.
"The system that we live under creates people such as this youth," King wrote in Martin Luther King on Leadership. "I am not interested in pressing charges. I'm interested in changing the kind of system that produces this kind of man."
That high-context insight also informed King's opposition to the Vietnam War. Beyond its cost in lives, King argued that foreign interventionism had an economic cost, since war spending took funds away from social programs. As he proclaimed in a 1967 speech at Riverside Church in New York City:
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.
He Wanted To Occupy Washington, D.C.
Late in his cut-short life, Dr. King shifted his focus from race to poverty. In 1968, five years after his "I Have A Dream" speech, King sought to launch a Poor People's Campaign with the goal of bringing about a mandatory income for all Americans. King sought to press the issue with a tent city.
As Mark Engler at The Nation explains it:
In King's vision of the campaign, thousands of Americans who had been abandoned by the economy would create a tent city on the National Mall, demand action from Congress, and engage in nonviolent civil disobedience until their voices were heard.
Sounds an awful lot like Occupy Wall Street, doesn't it?
He Was Funny
Dr. King's good humor was shown with how quick he was on his feet. Fast Company's own Miles Kohrman unearthed audio of a question-and-answer session that King had after giving a speech at the New School. If you give a listen, you'll hear how he cracks the room up:
To end, we must note that a giggling Martin Luther King is just about the best thing. Here he is with his pal Harry Belafonte:
And then he said . . .
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, everyone.
Drake Baer was a contributing writer at Fast Company, where he covered work culture. He's the co-author of Everything Connects, a book about how intrapersonal, interpersonal, and organizational psychology shape innovation.


I doubt that it's a coincidence that this regal loaf is shaped like a crown and embedded with jewel-like bits of fruit.
A slice of Panettone is usually toasted and buttered for breakfast or served with a bit of jam after Christmas dinner. This is a new twist on this tall, golden bread with raisins and bits of candied lemon and orange peel, ideally with bits of cherries and other colorful, candied fruit.
Krissy, A.K.A. "THE NAPKIN LADY" (*See her Napkin Folding video below) came up with this wonderful idea for Panettone: Panettone French Toast. Simply prepare a **standard French Toast egg-mixture, saturate a slice of Panettone with the egg-mixture, then fry it in a bit of [olive] oil, top it with butter, sliced fruit (strawberries, blackberries etc.) and/or jam or jelly. Hit it with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and serve with Maple syrup (or Agave.) This is a delightful twist on an old favorite.
[NEW] There was very little information about this before we did the post; If you do a search you will find all kinds of information about Panettone French Toast now. I'm not saying that Krissy was the first with this recipe, she was the first to tell me about it.
**Since a slice of Panettone is usually much larger than a standard bread slice, add a tablespoon of orange juice to "stretch" the egg-mixture. I also add a shake or two of cinnamon. NEW 12/29/2018: to "stretch" the egg-mixture one can also add a tablespoon or so of Eggnog.

Imagining cities: DHA city's 'master plan' ready to go
November 1, 2011 in Karachi Real Estate
KARACHI: The Defence Housing Authority (DHA) executive board unveiled the final plan for DHA City Karachi (DCK) – a residential-cum-commercial project to be built on Super Highway.
The board met on Monday to reveal the master plan for the project that, according to DHA Administrator Brig. Aamer Raza Qureshi, should be ready for people to move in within three to four years. However, five- and ten-year construction plans will continue.
The plan, 12 months in the making, is the brainchild of two international firms, Doxiadis from Greece and Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall of the UK, and the Pakistani firm, M/S Osmani and Company.
In the first phase, an immediate action plan directed at getting the project up and running is to be completed till 2012. The short-term development plans comprising development of primary infrastructure and facilities will go on till 2015 and the mid-term plan till 2020. The project is to be completed by 2030 under the long-term development plan. The project will cover 11,640 acres of land obtained in 2005. Bids for the over 27,000 residential and commercial plots were held at the end of 2009.
The DCK chief concept adviser, Dr Spyridon Pollalis, presented the plans for residential, commercial and community facilities along with details of downtown and gateway districts. Infrastructure is to include transport, water and energy supplies.
According to the project team leader, Arif Osmani, DCK was planned as the first sustainable and green city of the country. According to Pollalis, a holistic plan for sustainable energy has been developed with emphasis on energy conservation and efficiency and using renewable energy sources.
Features such as multi-purpose districts, neighbourhoods, green spaces, community-level facilities, educational and sports centres, theme parks, an efficient transport system and sustainable housing are to be developed in the new city, said Osmani. DCK's transportation plan includes the development of a dedicated walk, cycling and mass transit tracks in addition to an Aashto-based road network, he elaborated.
The project director, Brig. (R) Muhammad Rafique, said that the area's security is an integral feature of the master plan. It includes physical and electronic surveillance of the area. They are also considering a number of options that would shorten the distance between DHA city and the city.

Have a drawer full of wine bottle stoppers that need a great display piece? Have a store and need to display your wine bottle stoppers but don't want to sacrifice valuable counter space? We have the perfect solution to both.
After making our bottle stoppers out of retired grapevines (see our other listing, they are awesome!), We've found that we needed a holder for them to display. Looking about our shop, we came on a capital idea and after a little trial and error (and a few glasses of wine), we came up with the perfect solution.
The top is made from our large oak tank wood and is fully adjustable. Just fan it out into any pattern you wish. The bottom is a barrel head I cut down and then put a wine barrel ring around it to give it color and dimension before sealing the entire piece with 3 coats of a clear UV sealer to protect it for years of use.
Comes with holes that are designed to hold MOST stoppers (there are millions of different ones but I have a LOT in the shop for testing and fitting).
INCLUDES: One Stopper holder display. Stoppers not included.
SEE ALSO: Check out my shop to see matching sconces, chandeliers and more. Get a bunch and receive a discount!

Q: Code Igniter - MySQL query using where and like I have searched every answer but nothing describes what I want or maybe I didn` t comprehend them quite right. So here goes my question. I want a "complex" query like this:
select * from MyTable
where PropertyA='$propertyValue'
and (id like '%$someValue%' or name like '%$someValue%' or description like '%$someValue%')
order by id desc limit 10 offset $offsetValue

How can I write this query in code igniter? $propertyValue, $someValue, $offsetValue are all php variables. And of course I need to avoid sql injection. I have also tested this in phpmyadmin and my query works fine.

A: For SQL injections, using binded queries and Active records is safe, it will save you from SQL injections as the framework does all of the work of escaping vulnerable user input.
You just write your code in Active record FOR 3.X version
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->where('PropertyA', $propertyValue);
$this->db->group_start();
$this->db->like('id', $someValue);
$this->db->or_like('name', $someValue);
$this->db->or_like('description', $someValue);
$this->db->group_end();
$this->db->order('id','desc')
$this->db->limit($limit, $start);// add your limit here
$this->db->get('MyTable');


BANGALORE, INDIA--(Marketwire - July 8, 2008) - Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- After the anticipated commissioning in 2010 of the 500-megawatt (MW) prototype fast breeder reactor (FBR) in Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, India plans to build a cluster of 1,000-MW FBRs. The prototype FBR is currently in an advanced stage of construction, having recently received a $5 million 140-ton stainless steel safety vessel that was developed at the site by engineering major Larsen & Toubro (BOM:500510) (Mumbai). The FBR is expected to attain criticality, the initiation of the first chain reaction to start the reactor, by September 2010. India's nuclear capacity is currently made up of two light water reactors built by General Electric (NYSE:GE) (Fairfield, Connecticut); two pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) built with Canadian assistance in the 1970s in Rawatbhata, Rajasthan; and 13 PHWRs that were locally developed.

Peak Energy: An electricity generating desalination process ?
An electricity generating desalination process ?
Cleantech.com has a post on research into using microbial fuel cells to desalinate water - Penn State discovers new electricity-generating desal process.
Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and China have discovered a new desalination process that has a triple cleantech benefit. The process cleans wastewater, generates electricity and can remove 90 percent of salt from brackish water or seawater.
The researchers are hoping to prove that desalination is possible without the large amounts of energy required by reverse osmosis or electrodialysis. The high energy and infrastructure cost of reverse osmosis has inhibited the adoption of desalination in the United States because municipalities have been able to easily and cheaply pump water in from surrounding rivers and regions (see Largest desalination plant in Western world gets go-ahead).
The team modified a microbial fuel cell, which uses naturally-occurring bacteria to convert wastewater into clean water and electricity, to desalinate salty water.
Typical microbial fuel cells have two chambers, one containing wastewater or other nutrients and the other containing water, according to the news release. Bacteria in wastewater consume the organic material, producing electricity.
The researchers altered the cell, adding a third chamber between the two existing chambers and placing certain ion-specific membranes—membranes that allow positive or negative ions through, but not both—between the central chamber and the positive and negative electrodes.
The study intended to show that bacteria could produce sufficient current to do this, but it ended up taking 200 milliliters of an artificial wastewater to desalinate 3 milliliters of salty water. The process, while not yet optimized, serves as proof of concept, according to Logan.


Langtry Version II Stretch Twill Pants: Our best-selling Langtry 5-pocket pants have been given a comfort upgrade with added stretch. Midweight 8.3-oz. textured twill is pigment garment dyed for added character. Details: six belt loops, antiqued brass rivets and metal-logo shank button. Easygoing straight legs. Cotton/spandex. Machine washable. Classic Fit. Imported.
"I had to return this item, the color seemed unusually bright."
"The color isn't quite as pictured. Nice fabric, but the fit is a bit tight."
"They are good pants, but I was disappointed to find out that they will need ironing. My other denim and twill pants do not need ironing."
"Ordered two of these exact same size (32x34) in Cognac and Olive. Cognac fit perfect - with just a little stretch in the waist and thighs these are fantastic. Olive was a different story - waist was much too big (felt like a 34). I called and was told different colors can size differently so don't bother exchanging. Huh? Strange and frustrating. As much as I like the Cognac I'm unlikely to order again given the expensive shipping charges for pants that don't fit true to size. Bummer"
"Follow up to my first review. Received the 32 waist and they fit like a glove. Just perfect! Love them so much I'm ordering a 2nd pair. Extremely comfortable and I love all the fine detail that TA adds. The bits of leather here and there, the great stitching details, the rivets, etc. They're 97 1/2% cotton and 2 1/2% elastane so you get the comfort and feel of cotton with just the right amount of stretch throughout the pants."
"Love the pants. Very high quality. But, a warning about size. I normally wear size 34 waist. I saw 2 reviewers say to order a size down but I ignored them. I should have listened to them. So I sent back the 34 and just got a size 33 in exchange. Still too big. I'm awaiting another exchange for 32s which I'm sure will be fine. Not sure TA is going to make much money on these because of my 2 exchanges, but it makes me a loyal customer."
"Bought these pants for my son and husband. Very comfortable with amazing material. Only the pockets feel weird in comparison, but it is easily overlooked. I will definitely be buying another pair!"
"Really like these pants! Nice step above jeans. I ordered a size down in the waist as they are a stretch pant, also they run a bit long. I'd like to order more, ADDITIONAL COLORS PLEASE!!"
"I really like these pants. I have a very physical job and these move with ease. My 1 displeasure is with the rise. I'm a shorter man and really like a mid rise jean. This cut also runs a bit big. If you are on the fence size wise, the smaller should work for a sleeker fit. "

FF1987: Prime Cuts
Prime Cuts #1-10 edited by Gary Groth.
There are some storied American comics anthologies: Arcade, Raw, Weirdo… (Well, and the ones that started popping up since the turn of the century.) Prime Cuts isn't one that you hear mentioned much these days.
It was (I think) Fantagraphics' first major "serious" anthology. They had already published a few of them there "ha ha" anthologies, but it seemed like they had higher ambitions for this one.
Just look at the introduction from the first issue:
Ok, that's probably out of focus, so just let me type in the first couple of sentences.
"It is difficult not to have an eschatalogical (sic) view of American culture. I resist the temptation because it's morally insufficient, and ultimately plays into the hands of fatalistic culture, leading to defeatism and impotence. Nevertheless, there is no escaping the feeling that, taking the larger view, we are heading towards the abyss."
We're off to a solid start. A quotation from Enzensberger on the indicia page; a strip by R Crumb & Aline Kominsky-Crumb; Eddie Campbell; Dori Seda; Drew Friedman; Richard Sala and Justin Green.
And some pages by Cliff Sterrett, too. Most of these could have (and have) appeared in Weirdo instead.
(And to digress slightly, I think this is the most quintessential Richard Sala panel ever. It sort of sums up everything about any story he's ever done. And not in a bad way: He just has his very productive baggage of obsessions he's been using very productively over the years. And I just love everything about the artwork in that panes, from the intent expression on the protagonist, to the glasses on the eyes on the woman behind him, to the guy in front of him staring at us, the readers. It's a conspiracy!)
But here's something that I thing definitely wouldn't have been in Raw:
This is Mitch Manzer's Rory Randall, The Singing Cowboy, and it's a series that would run for six issues. And it is weapons grade silliness. When it works, it is very funny, but it's an odd thing to include in an anthology like this. (He went on to publish Lust of the Nazi Weasel Women through Fantagraphics, but didn't do much more than that, according to the Grand Comics Database…)
Another feature in Prime Cuts are slightly more voluminous author intros than you'd normally see, along with full-page intros to some of the later translated pieces. But I thought this one was amusing:
(The bit about Beto and Garcia Marquez, that is.)
Issue three has one of the first "Victorian Murder" story by Rick Geary (which was reprinted in the first collection, I vaguely recollect?). But I just wanted to note here how much I love, in particular, his way of drawing objects. It's not quite naturalistic — everything seems to be rounder and bulge in slightly odd places, but it's mostly not something you can put your finger on. He just draws these things as if every thing had a personality. A kinda amiable personality.
Not that his people are bad or anything (they're lovely, too), but nobody draws objects like Geary.
But talking about being reprinted: The same issue also has an excerpt from R Crumb's teenage comics:
As well as a six page excerpt from Jim (by Jim Woodring). The Jim excerpts are good, and the Crumb excerpts are interesting, I guess, but this is a very odd way of putting an anthology together.
There's a great Sinner story in the next issue, but Fantagraphics was publishing a Sinner book at the time, so, again, it doesn't seem like an ideal way to be doing an anthology if you want to have the anthology stand on its own feet, instead of being a company ad catalogue.
Ok, I have to excerpt this Rory Randall joke. (What you need to know: The person not seen here can't say the "r" sound.)
Now I'm ashamed of myself, but Manzer should be more ashamed.
Anyway, the anthology continues to trundle along… More translated stuff starts popping up, and the last half of the run is dominated by the rather overwrought Ana serial by F. Solano Lopez. But people like Norman Dog appears:
Hey! That's me!
Oh, I forgot to mention that Prime Cuts featured text pieces in every issue. Somewhat random stuff, from my point of view. Carson McCullers, Djuna Barnes, Kay Boyle… Short stories and reportage.
I quite enjoyed the Kay Boyle post war story from France:
Prime Cuts sometimes feel like an oldee timee version of somebody's Tumblr page: Whatever that person likes at the time ends up in the magazine. While anthologies like Raw has a very clear point of view, Prime Cuts does not. Reading an issue of Raw (I re-read all the large sized issues last year) is an orchestrated experience: Everything fits together.
Prime Cuts has great stuff (and some not-so-great), but it's like: "Here! I gathered up enough comics and stuff to fill one 64 page issue! Now read!"
In the last few issues we venture into the ever-popular "embarrassing autobio" genre, but I think Craig Maynard won it:
Ok, that's more embarrassing than everything else.
Remember I said, back up there, how Prime Cuts started off with all those household names? Well, the last issue looks like this:
But there are people like Carel Moisewitch inside, so that's more than a bit unfair.
The last three issues had essays by Herman Hesse, and the last four (I think) had no author introductions. If I were to make an uninformed guess, I think the editor started losing interest around issue four, and lost all interest by issue eight. It started off quite ambitiously, but it never achieved any sort of coherence.
I haven't re-read any of the other Fantagraphics anthologies yet, but I suspect this is a problem that continues on Graphics Story Monthly and Zero Zero. It wasn't until Mome that Fantagraphics finally made a great anthology series.
I think. I guess I'll find out when I get to those anthologies.
This post is part of the Fantagraphics Floppies series.

The McCracken County Community Career Endowment (MCCCE) has selected six Paducah Tilghman High School Juniors as the Class #7 participants of the 2021 Paxton Scholars Program. Those students are Justice Campbell, Kauri Whitfield, Dasia Garland, Coy Booker, Christopher Allen and Joemari Starks. These outstanding and academically achieving students were selected from nineteen other applicants from McCracken County and Paducah Independent Schools districts.
The Paxton Scholars Program moves to empower students to improve academic performance and preparation for college transition. The selected scholars receive college scholarship funds based on the GPA during their junior and senior year and the first and second semester of college. A new laptop and backpack will also be presented to six of the scholars.
"It feels like the work I've put in during high school is being recognized in a way that lets me shine a light on my culture my peers at the same time. I'm honored to be chosen and grateful for the Paxton program," said recipient Coy booker.
"It honestly feels good. It makes me feel like academically I'm doing better than I thought because people are willing to assist me towards getting my higher education," said Dasia Garland
"I am proud to accomplish this goal, and to have a chance to be a 1st generation college student," said Chris Allen
MCCE was organized in 2006 after receiving a $1 million donor-directed endowment. In addition to the Paxton Scholars Program, the endowment continues awarding scholarships and educational assistance to students who want to continue their post-secondary educations. We are so proud of our Tilghman student's for achieving such prestigious award.

Jet Life: Dope St. Jude's global hustle and contribution to black knowledge production
by Oratile Mashazi
Photography 4 years ago 2016-06-15 08:53:29
Monday April 10th saw Dope St. Jude and Kyla Phil, pulling up in Roeland street to scoop me en route to Dope St's birthday dinner. We sped off towards Cape Town's suburbs and a sanctified celebration of the life of this artist from Elsies River. Dope St. Jude gracefully glides through identities, wearing concurring crowns of artist and activist whilst embodying such potency it speaks to power and pleasure. An entertainer by nature, but also an educator through the proliferation of a persona that makes people wys about black girl magic and the inequalities of the beautiful and totally bogus racist Mother City.
With the gift of keeping it real while rapping, Dope St. Jude is currently in Finland with Angel-Ho, performing, and contributing to the conversation about alternative platforms and methodologies for knowledge production on a panel at In-between: Art, Education and Politics in the Post-Welfare state, a week long event hosted in conjunction with Chimurenga and The Pan African Space Station at Checkpoint Helsinki. Her new EP is set to drop in the near future and the album artwork is already out. The images reference archetypes of femininity and Africa, and while contributing to the discourse around representations of black women, they also contribute to the refreshing representations of blackness and Africa coming from African artists. Through using our heritage and beautiful brown skin to tell stories these images enter a pantheon of other artworks rewriting the meaning of blackness a la the Noirwavers who set 2015 alight with beautiful artworks featuring blackness and Africa in regal, opulent sometimes even religious regalia.
When you are born with dark skin and/or a vagina, your identity becomes something beyond you, potent in its ability to alienate and antagonise. These stereotypes are laid before us, having been produced and reproduced by misogynist white media and patriarchal white capital for centuries. But we are making a future where the truth about blackness, queerness, gender and Africa have representation in all spheres of experience; music, visuals, text, print, photography and so the list must go on until equality is won. It is this knowledge that artists like Dope Saint Jude propagate, and this is why her work and persona is so important. This reflection of the relationship between art and activism, emphasizes the role of creativity in contributing to changing ignorant and conservative perspectives. This is how artists like Dope St Jude are impacting our world, and it is a most wondrous and welcome change.

This has been an ongoing issue for a long time and I was hoping the firmware update from November 2014 would fix this. When can we expect an updated firmware that will resolve this? It is very frustrating to need to constantly restart the copier (which takes over 5 minutes) almost once a day. Five minutes isn't a long time unless you have people that are working on deadlines or needing to leave for meetings and have to leave empty handed.
This ongoing problem is definately making us look to replace it with a competitor that can take care of their customers.
Sorry for the rant, but this is a serious problem and it was a lot of money for a small business for something that doesn't work reliably.
There are a multitude of reasons it could happen.
The most likely candidate is a spam filter server side. I will use Gmail as an example, but most are similar.
Every email sent from a printer is essentially identical with exception to the attachment size.
The subject line, message body, attachment name, footer are all identical every single time. So if you send the identical message over and over in a short period, the Mail server will typically look into the sender and slow, or block communication from it. The printer does not understand the messages it is getting back from the mail server, and it is very hard to program it to do so as each one is slightly different.
So you reboot the printer and the jobs go through, but it is mostly the delay that fixed it, and the fact that it retries the same message upon boot. Typically you can just delete the processing job, wait 5 minutes and send the same scan again as well.
Many have luck by just changing the File name on every 3rd scan when doing large batches of jobs which is done on the Email > Email Options > File Name screen.
Of course this may not be your current scenario, but it is what is seen most often by myself as well as friends who deal with other manufacturers.
I appreciate the response, and I understand that can be a problem in some situations. However, this has been a problem for us even when we are hosting our own email server and we are sending within the company without going through a spam filter. There have been a lot of posts in these support forums and on the internet at large regarding this issue. I know email is problematic, but there should be a notification from the copier that something is wrong or a retry button or something.
If we can send out many emails quickly from our email client applications, the copier should be able to do the same without falling over constantly, it's extremely frustrating. I help other offices with different brand copiers using the same mail service and they do not have this constant problem.


What is PFS (Pretty Forward Secrecy)?
PFS will ensure the same key will not be generated again, so it will force to generate a new diffie-hellman key exchange. This would ensure if a hacker\criminal was trying to compromise a private key, they would only be able to access data in transit protected by that key and not any future data, as future data would not be associated with that compromised key.
Both sides of the VPN must be able to support PFS in order for PFS to work. When PFS is turned on, for every negotiation of a new phase 2 SA the two gateways must generate a new set of phase 1 keys. This is an extra layer of protection that PFS adds, which ensures if the phase 2 SA's have expired, the keys used for new phase 2 SA's have not been generated from the current phase 1 keying material. Of course if PFS is not turned on then the current keying material already established at phase 1 will be used again to generate phase 2 SA's.
Therefore using PFS provides a more secure VPN connection. Although using PFS does have its drawback. It will require more processing power, and take slightly longer for phase 1 and 2 to complete. PFS in general is referred as a session key. A session key is a key just created for a particular session, and when the session is bought down, the key is destroyed and not used again. Next time a session is initiated a new and completely different session key is created.

Celebrating its Tenth Anniversary, Joshua Liner Gallery is pleased to open a group show on January 6th, 10 Years, that honors and celebrates the artists that have helped shape the gallery's past, and who will help move the gallery well into the next successful decade. It is a combination of all these artists who have helped place the gallery in a vital role in the broader conversations of contemporary art. We are thrilled and humbled to be able to continue to provide this platform for our artists.
With a strong focus on painting, the artists of the past decade have brought extreme realism, surreal expression, abstraction, landscapes and still-lifes into the space. Tony Curanaj's extreme realism paintings, remind us of the importance of honoring the tradition of painting itself, with each work painted from real life scenes from his studio. Tiffany Bozic and Alfred Steiner, also skillfully create work that combines painted elements from our world, to create new surreal compositions: Bozic focusing on the natural world, while Steiner draws our attention to contemporary culture. Riusuke Fukahori's footprint with the gallery has established him as a fine artist, whose perfected technique of 3D paintings of goldfish have made him one of the gallery's most sought after artists. He will have two new small works for this exhibition. This year we were thrilled to be able to show the work of Matt Hansel, whose subjects and compositions draw our attention to art history as a whole, and how we bring our own knowledge to the canvas, as he combine traditional Flemish imagery with digital manipulations and pop elements.
Artists Geoff McFetridge, Aaron Johnson, and Parra will all contribute new expressive figurative works for the show, while balancing out new abstractions with a small collection of geometric works from Johnny Abrahams, and Serena Mitnik-Miller. Sam Friedman's exquisite new piece, resembles the crack of a volcanic cave, which moves the dialogue closer to his previous landscape work. Evan Hecox's ever evolving practice, leaves us with recreations of his memories of travels, the most recent work for this show pulls from his trip through the southwest, highlighting the muted palette of this geographic area. More familiar to abstraction, Pema Rinzin's works on paper, made from pure mineral pigments, combine elements of a forest we may recognize from a childhood dream, while Andrew Schoultz's 'landscapes' show us a world of power and strength, combining his usual visual lexicon of symbols of power in history.
Assemblage and found objects continue to manifest itself in the program through artists David Ellis, Kris Kuksi, Robert Larson, and Wayne White. Ellis' Recollection work for this show is a collection of records meticulously combined to create a beautiful and pristine gradient, while Kuksi offers us one of his unique assemblages with A Neo-Minoan Landscape built with found objects, put together through painstaking process of deconstruction and reconstruction. Wayne White's popular word paintings all begin with finding a vintage commercially printed lithograph, to carry his criticism and wit. While lastly, Robert Larson's Red Honey is a composition of discarded cigarette packages, he's found and collected in order to make this abstracted floral composition.
Finally, the last three artists of the show, Hilary Pecis, Andy Dixon, and Libby Black will present still-life works, two paintings, and sculpture. Both Pecis and Dixon pull from the Western tradition of the still-life painting, Dixon's vibrant vanitas, showcasing the successes of a recent hunt, while Pecis' painted still-life focuses her brushwork on the reflections of the bottles, perhaps reserved for the feast. Finally, Libby Black's still-life composition, Some Women, is a handmade recreation of luxury goods, and personal ephemera. Constructed through paper and glue, each hand painted element contributes to her 3D still-life sculpture.
10 Years will feature 21 artists: Aaron Johnson, Alfred Steiner, Andrew Schoultz, Andy Dixon, David Ellis, Evan Hecox, Geoff McFetridge, Hilary Pecis, Johnny Abrahams, Kris Kuksi, Libby Black, Matt Hansel, Parra, Pema Rinzin, Riusuke Fukahori, Robert Larson, Sam Friedman, Serena Mitnik-Miller, Tiffany Bozic, Tony Curanaj, and Wayne White.

Q: Two Timestamp Formats in R Im have a time stamp column that I am converting into a POSIXct.  The problem is that there are two different formats in the same column, so if I use the more common conversion the other gets converted into NA.
MC$Date
12/1/15 22:00
12/1/15 23:00
12/2/15
12/2/15 1:00
12/2/15 2:00

I use the following code to convert to a POSIXct:
MC$Date <- as.POSIXct(MC$Date, tz='MST', format = '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M')

The results:
MC$Date
15-12-01 22:00:00
15-12-01 23:00:00
NA
15-12-02 01:00:00
15-12-02 02:00:00

I have tried using a logic vector to identify the issue then correct it but can't find an easy solution.

A: The lubridate package was designed to deal with situations like this.
dt <- c(
"12/1/15 22:00",
"12/1/15 23:00",
"12/2/15",
"12/2/15 1:00",
"12/2/15 2:00"
)
dt
[1] "12/1/15 22:00" "12/1/15 23:00" "12/2/15"       "12/2/15 1:00"  "12/2/15 2:00"
lubridate::mdy_hm(dt, truncated = 2)
[1] "2015-12-01 22:00:00 UTC" "2015-12-01 23:00:00 UTC" "2015-12-02 00:00:00 UTC"
[4] "2015-12-02 01:00:00 UTC" "2015-12-02 02:00:00 UTC"

The truncated parameter  indicates how many formats can be missing.
You may add the tz parameter to specify which time zone to parse the date with if UTC is not suitable.

A: I think the logic vector approach could work. Maybe in tandem with an temporary vector for holding the parsed dates without clobbering the unparsed ones. Something like this:
dates <- as.POSIXct(MC$Date, tz='MST', format = '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M')
dates[is.na(dates)] <- as.POSIXct(MC[is.na(dates),], tz='MST', format = '%m/%d/%Y')
MC$Date <- dates

A: Since all of your datetimes are separated with a space between date and time, you could use strsplit to extract only the date part.
extractDate <- function(x){ strsplit(x, split = " " )[[1]][1] }
MC$Date <- sapply( MC$Date, extractDate )

Then go ahead and convert any way you like, without worrying about the time part getting in the way.

A wider look: How Northern Colorado schools will reopen for 2020-21 school year
The district had previously planned an Aug. 31 reopening with half days for all students during Thompson's first week of school. Starting the second week of school, elementary school students would have had full days in-person and middle and high school students would have spent their mornings at school and their afternoons in remote learning.
"While the latest guidance from county professionals provides clarity for our community, we also understand that this decision is disappointing for many of our families," the district wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday evening. "Thompson School District is dedicated to offering a safe in-person educational option for our students and we will continue to work with health officials to help make that option a reality as soon as possible."
In both announcements, Larimer County Public Health Director Tom Gonzales shared the county's concern about delayed COVID-19 test results and how those delays would impact the county's ability to stop outbreaks at schools.
"These are not easy decisions and there is no perfect answer," Gonzales said in the email to PSD families. "One of the biggest concerns we have in Larimer County and for Colorado is the delay in test results."
For contact tracing to be effective, COVID-19 test results need to be available within 2-3 days, Gonzales said, which is not happening in Larimer County or statewide.
"The way we prevent outbreaks in our schools is to test, trace and isolate," Gonzales said in both announcements. "With cases continuing to rise, counties across the state will struggle to conduct timely contact tracing with this delay in results."
The announcements from PSD and Thompson come after several Front Range districts — including Denver Public Schools and Jeffco Public Schools — announced their plans for fully remote learning for the first part of the 2020-21 school year.
On July 27, PSD shared plans for a hybrid learning model for the first three weeks of the school year, with students in school some days and learning remotely other days. Elementary students were also set to return to full in-person learning by the third week of school under the district's previous plan.
Colorado State University:Athletes, staff say athletic administration covering up COVID-19 health threat
PSD's initial plan had students split into A groups and B groups, with the groups alternating days they attend school in-person or remotely.
The district had prepared for four possible phases to begin the year:
Phase 1: Schools are closed. Instruction is carried out remotely. This is how PSD ended the 2019-20 year after closing in March due to the spread of COVID-19.
Phase 2: Limited in-person learning, with gatherings of 10 people or less. Most learning would be remote, but there could be limited in-person interaction in small groups.
Phase 3: Hybrid model. Students are broken into "A" and "B" groups, with A in classrooms Monday and Wednesday and B in classrooms Tuesday and Thursday. Friday would be a day for at-home learning and teacher collaboration.
Phase 4: All students in school all day. The district may limit classrooms to 20-25 people and would likely require health safety measures such as temperature checks, contact tracing and the use of personal protective equipment.
PSD's new plan for the beginning of the school year follow the district's plans under Phase 1, while the initial hybrid learning plan outlined last week fell under Phase 3. The district says it will have to be prepared to move between phases throughout the year as coronavirus conditions and public health recommendations change.
Poudre Education Association President John Robinson applauded the district's tough decision to begin the school year online.
"I think it was the right move and a very hard decision," Robinson said.

The next update to Aion: Echoes of Eternity will be making its way in November. This update includes new instances, new high level PvP arenas, a brand new crafting profession for Archdaevas, and more!
Aetherforging is a new crafting discipline for Archdaevas only. With Aetherforging you can craft a wide variety of items including consumables, gear, mounts, wings and more! No need to be at a crafting station either, open the Aetherforging crafting window anywhere to begin crafting!
Coalescence is a new way to dispose of your unwanted Archdaeva gear! Use gear of the same type (Weapon, Armor or Accessory) and grade and receive a random piece of gear, and if you're lucky a better grade and bonus enchantment levels. Save your gear, because the more items you use in one coalescence can yield better results.
Two new group PvE instances for Archdaevas will be added in the update, as well as one new solo instance.

The Long and Short of It
Eli Long
The ACT is something all high schoolers must take at some point in their high school career. It is an impenetrable gate that either grants a future and success to those who score highly, or much like the relationship between rebels and deathstars, destroys hope of ever going to college. Something I noticed, however, during my stay in the standardized testing torture dungeon, was a few completely vestigial things which have inspired today's editorial.
When you are finished with the hours on filling bubbles, you are confronted with a moral challenge. The proctor tells you that you must copy the statement above on your paper, confirming you haven't cheated and you are in fact the one taking the test. Now, I've never cheated on a standardized tests and my plans to are as non existent as the hair on my editor's head, but I anticipate if I did, I would not feel morally obligated to tell the truth on this portion of the exam. It seems as though this is rather useless. What person in their right mind would admit guilt in such a silly manner. Who do they think this is going to catch? And is it someone's job to go over every single test's authenticity statement? Is someone being paid to look through tests and think to themselves, "Yep, that looks like they mean it to me," or "Nope, that looks like a bunch of hooey to me"?
Another useless thing on the ACT is the phobia of mechanical pencils. They require a number two pencil so the machine can read the tests. Fair enough, but yet they still are stuck in the wooden pencil technology way of thinking. Why can't I just use the mechanical pencil I brought? Many boxes of mechanical pencils even come with a seal that declare they are Scantron safe so the ideal that a constantly dull wooden pencil is superior in testing is useless.
On the topic of useless things, I also recently heard the cover of "Sound of Silence," written by Simon and Garfunkel by the metal band Disturbed. I came to the conclusion that this song also has no use. The scary Darth Vader looking mountain on the cover gives a promise of some hard rocking Simon and Garfunkel (not that I would appreciate that either) that the song does not deliver. Instead, the cover is at some points even slower than the original, begging the question of why they felt the need to remake the song at all. A general rule for most metal bands in the world would be to leave Simon and Garfunkel alone for the time being, although coincidentally Art Garfunkel also seems to be rather useless in the duo as well.
Moving forward with this list of useless items, the spotlight shifts to the Transformer movies. First off, I would like to clarify that the first Transformers movie is in no way a good movie. Since the first movie is arguably unnecessary, it would follow that all three (soon to be four) sequels are also quite unnecessary. And useless. If I wanted to see a large computer generated robot punch a gas truck to blow it up, I would simply watch the first Transformers movie. Or, if I became bored watching the same truck/robot fights from the first movie, I could even watch the second movie. Three and four though? That just seems like gratuitous and unnecessary robot/truck explosions. Many movies are following this pattern, namely the Fast and Furious movie which much like the Transformer movies were not good to begin with.
The final useless thing on this list is the toupee on the top of Donald Trump's head. Like all toupees before it, and that will come after, it is not fooling anyone. It would be a far more prudent decision to accept baldness with dignity and class. Then again, dignity and class are not really his forte.
