Stargate SG-1: New Mission
This Final Cut is a re-edit of Children of the Gods (1997), turning the pilot episode of Stargate SG-1 (1997) into a standalone film. The plot is similar to the pilot, but with modifications to several scenes, remastered video, a new soundtrack, and improved special effects. Some dialogue has also been edited and, in some scenes, entirely re-recorded.
Captain Carter says that the planet they're going back to is (one of) the closest to Earth, which is why they can still access it using the old "address" even after millenia of stellar drift/expansion. But in the original Stargate movie, it's described as being "somewhere in the Kalium Galaxy," on "the other side of the known universe."
Edited from Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods (1997)
Less is less
Stargate SG-1 started on the Showtime Network, a cable subscription channel that does not carry commercials. As such, it was looking for programming with an edge; a sharpness that would set it apart from the bland offerings of the commercial sponsored networks. When the series transferred to Sci-Fi Network, it toned down it's edge in subsequent seasons; so that it was suitable for "family viewing" and the sponsors who paid for the commercials would not offend the general viewers.
When movies and TV programs are reissued as new versions, they are extended versions (Director Cuts, Unrated, Never-before-seen, etc. ). This is neither a Director's nor extended cut. In fact, I feel the original director and producers would complain to have their names on this censored version of the pilot. All things sexual have been removed. Some of the dialog has also been replaced. The running time is less than the original. It is a condensed newly censored version.
Besides the censoring, a few CGI shots have been updated and much of the music has been replaced. Also some editing has changed to alter some of the characters intentions.
Why would you watch this scrubbed up version? If you are going to see it at a church function, I can understand. Otherwise, go see the original instead.

Is the full nudity of the original version also in the final cut?
What are the differences between the DVD and the original episode?

REVIEW: Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, S1 Ep4 – Josefina and the Holy Spirit
Camille Rae Lim
on May 18, 2020Posted in: Featured, Recaps, Reviews, Television
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels delivers its darkest episode yet as it reveals monsters both supernatural and frighteningly familiar.
All the characters continue to be confronted with demons whether or not of their own making. At the moment, there are so many stories and themes to juggle that Penny Dreadful: City of Angels seems to be floundering in its own ambition. The show wants to tackle important issues like racism, misogyny, anti-semitism, redlining, identity, and more while also including the symbolic involvement of two powerful deities, and so it's spreading itself thin, not allowing all the characters to get justice. But it tries, and when it does succeed, the results are impressive.
The episode opens with Santa Muerte arriving just before a massacre takes place. No one else seems to see her except for a little girl, whose body she soon carries gently away from the bloodshed. It isn't clear if the girl survived or if she might possibly be the young Maria, forging a connection with the deity from her youth. The image is striking but Penny Dreadful: City of Angels reveals nothing.
The Vega family are thrown into more turmoil in this episode and though the youngest and only daughter, Josefina, is named in the title of the episode, she does not appear until later but does have a very traumatic experience.
First, Tiago confirms that Sister Molly really was having an affair with the murder victim. He confronts her about it and she does not deny the affair but defensively says that she had nothing to do with the crime. She then says she never wants to see him again (not that you can say that to a detective, but anyway). After all this, Tiago still seems smitten with her, and once again, it seems that their romance progressed way too quickly. He chats about his romantic quandary with his brother, Raul, who also strangely does not seem too bothered by the fact that it was Tiago who shot him.
But Tiago continues to be blinded by his attraction to Molly and somehow shows up (how did he get past her bodyguards?) at the kitchen after one of the meetings. She is quietly washing the dishes, finding a moment of peace, and when she sees him, she welcomes his presence as they continue this ill-advised romance.
More importantly, Mateo and Josefina have a catastrophic encounter with the racist white policemen who had met Mateo in the hospital. What follows is the most horrific scene in the show, worse than any supernatural horror that Penny Dreadful: City of Angels could have portrayed. Josefina is sexually assaulted by a policeman while her brother is forced to watch. The scene is harrowing to witness and it is further proof that human monstrosity trumps any demonic apparitions. Such an assault could have taken place in reality and the consequences are always dire.
Josefina begs her brother to keep this a secret. But later, when she tries to approach her mother about it, she is shut out, since the family is too distracted by the discovery of Mateo's Pachuco tattoo. The poor girl then seeks solace elsewhere, and conveniently stumbles upon a poster of Sister Molly and her congregation.
Josefina attends a meeting where Sister Molly's gifts are on full display, her charisma and magnetism evident as she speaks to the people of salvation. Kerry Bishé shows why so many people are willing to listen to this evangelical leader and the young Josefina is her latest convert.
Frustrated by his own helplessness, Mateo confides in his Pachuco friends and they help him exact revenge on the perverted policeman. After Rico and Rio corner the man, they serve him to Mateo to execute and the young boy does so without hesitation. The murder is all the more brutal because Mateo isn't strong enough to make a clean kill and his justifiable rage overpowers any sense of self-control. The mangled corpse is left outside the precinct, a sure sign of more trouble to come.
Lewis Michener is on a journey of his own and Nathan Lane continues to impress in this dramatic role. He has set aside the Hazlett case so that he can seek justice for the death of his friends. At a Jewish cemetery, he sets a meeting with the gangster Benny Berman and shares his theories about the burgeoning Nazi conspiracy in Los Angeles. The exchange is an intriguing one, not just because of the strong performances of both Lane and Brad Garrett, but also because of the physical disparity between them. And yet, Michener is so strong in his convictions that even with his diminutive size, he manages to get through to Berman, appealing to some sense of Jewish camaraderie.
Later in the episode, Berman comes through and finds a treacherous Jew who conspired with the Nazis. Berman gives Michener the chance to execute the man but the old cop refuses, leading Berman to do the deed himself. But Michener has started this risky relationship and no doubt, there will be more shady dealings in the future.
Dr. Craft's storyline is by far the most disjointed from the rest. Elsa Branson and her creepy son attend his son's birthday party and she is immediately the center of interest among his male friends. He certainly makes no secret of his attraction to her. None of this is lost on his wife who promptly confronts Elsa and warns her about Craft's questionable past in Essen. Not that Elsa needs to be warned since she probably targeted Craft for this precise reason.
Mrs. Craft also refuses to become someone "as banal as a rejected wife." But the whole subplot is as banal as it gets, with Elsa's seduction of Craft and their eventual consummation of their passions playing out just as expected. More disturbing is Frank's bedtime horror story shared with Craft's son and the subsequent nightmares/visions the boy suffers of a dismembered little girl. But one still wonders why Magda is determined to ruin this particular German family and what she expects them to do for her when the time comes.
Councilman Townsend is unwittingly caught in Magda's web again. After loudly ordering Alex around after a disastrous council meeting, it's clear that Townsend would be caught in some trouble. True enough, he is accosted by one of the Germans after one of his illicit encounters and though the terrified man believes he is about to be killed, he was actually just seduced. However, all this was secretly documented by Magda and even shown explicitly as future blackmail fodder.
The stories of both Townsend and Craft are by far the least engaging in Penny Dreadful: City of Angels and it's slightly frustrating that they are being given so much screen time when we could be learning more about the Vegas and, particularly, Tiago's special connection to Santa Muerte, which hasn't really been mentioned in the last couple of episodes. Neither has there been any real progress on the Hazlett case, the central murder mystery of the show.
As we approach the halfway point for Penny Dreadful: City of Angels season one, all these threads need to better fall into place so that we have a clearer vision of what lies ahead and the terrors Magda will be inflicting on a world that seems so open to violence and pain.

A Typographical Puzzle
Can you solve this puzzle?
By James R. Voelkel | May 2, 2010
In early printing the modern, short form of the letter s was commonly used only as the last letter in a word. Elsewhere in a word, the long s, ſ, was used. The long s is easily mistaken for an f, since in many type faces the long s also has a crossbar, but only on the left side of the letter. This sample of text (below) from the Othmer Library's copy of Ripley Reviv'd (1678) by Eirenaeus Philalethes (i.e. George Starkey) illustrates numerous ordinary uses of the long s, and two exceptions, in which the short s is used in the middle of a word. Can you figure out why?

Here is a clue, in the form of an illustration of a typical printer's lettercase from the June 1747 issue of The Univerſal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleaſure.
A Typographical Puzzle 2
Note that the type was kept in two cases, the upper case and the lower case. The less frequently needed capital forms of letters were in the upper case, and that is why they are still called upper case letters.

DIC Asset AG acquires portfolio from iii-Investment
DIC Asset AG / Miscellaneous
Release of a Corporate News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG.
The issuer / publisher is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
Frankfurt-based DIC Asset AG has purchased 13 major properties with a total area of around 77,000 sqm from the Euromobil fund of iii–Investment GmbH. The total investment volume, including transaction costs, is EUR 173 million.

The properties are situated in outstanding locations of major cities such as Munich, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Flensburg and Leipzig.
Most of the high-quality properties are leased to top tenants such as H&M, Peek & Cloppenburg und Marktkauf Holding. The average remaining lease term of the rental area is 3.6 years, and the vacancy rate is 10 per cent. The current annual rent is EUR 11.3 million, which equates to a rental yield of 6.5 per cent (gross passing rent in relation to the total investment amount).

Q: Cesium and Geoserver SRS Optimization I have a Cesium program that makes WMS calls to geoserver layers loaded from a postgis table. From what I know Cesium can only use ESPG:4326, but my postgis table and thus geoserver layer are in ESPG:32146. Everything works fine as I'm assuming geoserver converts the SRS to 4326 before passing to Cesium but it isn't super fast. Would my Cesium program would run faster if I converted my geometry column to 4326 in my postgis table so geoserver doesn't have to do the conversion?

A:
Would my Cesium program would run faster if I converted my geometry column to 4326 in my postgis table so geoserver doesn't have to do the conversion?

So your question is would your Cesium program run faster if you didn't have to reproject in run time, but did it once and stored in that format? Reprojecting is usually pretty cheap, but it's not free. See about storing in 4326, see the geography type and how well it works Cesium.
Yes.

You don't have to live with Back Pain Symptoms because there are several treatment options for it.
The lower back of the body is the most prone site of pain coming from the muscles, nerves, spine and other structures in that section. However, it can spread out to others parts like upper or mid back. It could also be due to a problem in the ovaries and testicles or to a herniated groin. The probability of having an injury to these parts will give you the Back Pain Symptoms.
It doesn't really require only one single event to cause the back pain. The improper habit of doing numerous things for a long time will result to this disorder. Nevertheless, in one effortless movement, such as bending from the waist level and reaching for stuffs in the bathroom can also lead to back pain.
What are the Back Pain Symptoms?
Every disease has its own symptoms and injuries in the back also manifest on the same location or radiates to other parts of the body. The indications of back pain are inexorable aching or rigidity along the spine, including the neck base to the hips (See: Hip pain). In addition, the patient may experience a localized sharp pain in the upper back, lower back and neck that occurs after raising heavy stuffs or engaging in backbreaking activities such as baseball.
Chronic Back Pain that manifests in the lower or middle back can be a result of standing or sitting for a long period of time. Back Pain Symptoms can also radiate from the lower part of the back to the buttocks, down to the back of the thigh and unto the toes and calf. The person can exhibit the lack of ability to stand straight without experiencing stern muscle spasm in the lower back.
What are the Ways to Prevent Back Pain?
Back Pain can be prevented using many ways. It can be prevented by practicing lifting techniques, doing strengthening and stretching back exercises, improving your posture, finding the right mattress, maintaining an ideal body weight and wearing proper footwear.
Exercise can prevent back pain along with lifting objects properly using the right lifting techniques. Avoid carrying objects that are too heavy. Don't bend or twist at the waist when carrying it and bend with your knees instead. You should not use your small muscles (triceps) and especially your back muscles when you are lifting weighty objects. It is advisable to use your lower extremities (thigh muscles) to support the weight of your body and the object that you're carrying.
Stretching and Strengthening Back Exercises are basic procedures to help you avoid back pains. The muscles that sustain the back such as muscles of the abdomen, buttocks and back should all be strengthened with exercise. Flexible and strong muscles will help prevent back pain that are caused by bone disorders such as sciatica, osteoarthritis and herniated disc because the sturdy muscle absorbs the shock earlier than it reaches the joints. Muscle Stretching is essential since abridged muscles can cause misalignments of the spine or poor posture. This procedure loosens and lengthens the back muscles to decrease the pressure on the spinal discs.
Posture shares the same degree of importance to prevent back pain. Maintaining and learning a good posture will set the spine in its proper alignment so it can provide support to the head. Back pain occurs due to bad posture because the back muscles will have to exert harder to support the head which later on causes muscle strain. Mattresses are the things we use to have a good night sleep. It usually provides us comfort but it is necessary to choose a firm but not too firm matt ress that can maintain the proper alignment of the spine when we sleep.
Back pain occurs more frequently in overweight persons. Maintaining an ideal Body Weight through exercising regularly and eating healthy will not only give you a longer life, but a pain free back as well. The extra weight of the body will give the back added stress especially the lower part of the back. Footwear is one of the causes of back pain so wearing the right ones will also prevent it. It is imperative to use shoes that have proper support and cushioning.
What are the Treatments for Back Pain Symptoms?
The treatments of back pain are diverse and evolve through time. Many researches and procedures are executed to relieve its symptoms that can alter the life functions of people. Hot and cold therapy is a common home remedy to relive back pains. Cold applications can reduce the early inflammation of sudden back sprain or strain. Heat application can't be applied to inflamed parts; however, it gives a soothing effect when applied on the back which increases the blood supply on the area as it dilate the blood vessels.
Pain Medications are often prescribed to control back pain such as Tylenol, Advil, and Aspirin (analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs). Codeine administrations are prescribed for severe cases of pain. However, this drug can cause tolerance and withdrawal when taken at a long term basis. Pain Medications are given along with muscle relaxants that can avert muscle spasm to protect the back form other injuries. An invasive treatment for back pain is the epidural steroid administrations that involve the spinal nerve root.
Managing Back Pain Symptoms additionally include complementary or alternative treatments. It comprise of acupuncture (insertion of very fine needles to precise points of the body), chiropractic treatment (manipulation of the hip and spine to restore the normal alignment of the spine), spinal tractions (constant pulling force elicited to gradually extend the spine), low-level laser therapy (applying a visible red light produced by a low-power laser), hydrotherapy, and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and Inferential Current Therapy which uses electric currents to interfere in the relay of pain signals.

"The that will be explored in further detail. Rule
"The rule of law is conceptualised as a form of a 'shield'between the individual and excessive governmental power, but its precisecontent and application continues to lack clarity." Syrett. p64Discuss in relation to these two schools of thought on Ruleof Law and include at least one case to illustrate your argument.Rule of law has been enshrined into English law since the 12thcentury, this is illustrated by the Magna Carta 12151;which discussed the principle that everyone is subject to the law, regardlessof the status of the individual. It also guarantees the rights of theindividual, the right to justice and the right to a fair trial2.However there has been much debate on the clarity of the interpretation of therule of law and its effectiveness today. The focus here will be on how the ruleof law in the U.
K protects the public from excessive governmental power throughcreating equality and attempting to achieve justice. Interpretations of therule of law are very ambiguous, hence the lack of clarity in its precisecontent and how it is applied in English law. This is also another area thatwill be explored in further detail. Rule of law stems from ancient Greece, discussed by Platowho sought to determine the most effective way to govern a state to promote amodel society3,and refers to the principle that the law is supreme and that no person regardlessof power, status, race or gender is above it.
It attempts to achieve balancebetween the normal person and the state by making all subject to the law.Throughout the ages, it was frequently seen that 'the impulse to obey the lawwas said to come from the monarch's sense of moral obligation for no man andcertainly no judge could enforce this4.'This therefore meant anyone was susceptible to the power of the monarch whichwas notably seen during the time of Charles the I where arbitrary powers wereused to increase taxes and force them onto the public. This happened due toparliament rejecting the King Charles initial request to increase taxes. Thosewho refused to pay these taxes were imprisoned or held in detention throughroyal discretionary powers5.In this example, the rule of law established in the Magna Carta did not shieldthe public from excessive state power until the introduction of the Petition ofRights 16286.This established the liberties which people had as well as the restriction onpowers of the monarch. This Act is one of the first modern day examples, sincethe Magna Carta, of how the rule of law was implemented into the English legalsystem to shield the public from state tyranny, by making everyone subject tothe law.
This is one of three core principles – No one is above the law – which was established by the theorist Diceyand agreed by Raz and other theorists. This principle is evidenced in the caseof Entick v Carrington (1765) 2 Wils 275, 19 StateTr 1029 10657. LordCamden held that public power cannot be executed unless it is legallyauthorised.
This meant that the state representatives actions were illegaltherefore meaning the defendants were liable. This agrees with the formalschool of thought as the law was clear and certain in that there must be awarrant or some form of authorisation to legally enable seizure of the papersas well as entry onto a premise. Here it is evident that rule of law protectedthe individual from an abuse of power by the state, hence proving that the ruleof law acts as a shield from excessive governmental power as well as agreeing withDicey's core principle that no one is above the law.
On the other hand, it seems that the rule of law isundermined by parliamentary supremacy. In theory Parliament have the power tomake any law or repeal any law that they want without any judicialintervention. This means the courts cannot prevent any law from being made evenif it violates any human rights or is immoral. They may only scrutinise the lawand express their opinions. One way in which it is apparent that the rule oflaw is undermined by parliament is through S.41 of the Terrorism Act 20008in which it states that 'a constable may arrest a person without a warrant whomhe reasonably suspects to be a terrorist'. This goes against Dicey's theory aswell as the formal school of thought as it states that there must be a clearand distinct breach of law for such actions to take place. This also conflictswith some substantive theorists' ideas that 'the law must uphold human rights.
9This act was then amended by the Anti-Terrorism Crime andSecurity Act 2001 which then allowedthe indefinite detention of suspected foreign international terrorists withouttrial. 10. 'For three years, a group of men were detained in highsecurity prisons and mental health institutions under this power – without everknowing the suspicions that kept them there, let alone having been convicted ofany offence11.' Once again, parliamentary supremacy overpowers the rule of law andviolates the ideals of the formal school of thought in which there must be aclear breach of law. In this example there was not. It also contradicts thesubstantive school of thought as it does not uphold human right values. In thiscase it is the right to a fair trial, found under the Human Rights Act 199812 which gives effect to Article 6 of the European Convention on HumanRights13. Currently Theresa may be looking to repeal the Human Rights Act 1998.
Although in theory this is possible due to parliamentary supremacy, it would beextremely difficult for this to be done on the basis that not all MP's wouldagree with this. This supports the argument that the rule of law does notalways act like a shield to the individual against excessive state power as therule of law is not binding onto parliament. This is evident throughparliamentary supremacy which disregarded the principles of the rule of lawwhen the Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act 200114. was passed as well as S.41of the Terrorism Act 200015. This supports the argument that the rule of law does not really protect theindividual from excessive state power and that the rule of law is powerless/has minimal effect on state power.
A common issue with the rule of law is that it lacks clarityregarding its precise content and how it is applied. An example of this isthrough the different interpretations by different many theorists as well asjudges in some cases. AV Dicey argued the point that Each man's individual rights are best protected under CommonLaw16 but Professor J.Razargued that in theory, a non-democratic legal system… based on the denial ofhuman rights may conform to the rule of law better than any of the legal systems17.
Given that the rule oflaw is only a theory rather than a principle written and embedded in an actualwritten constitution, means that it is open to different views ofinterpretation. This clearly presents the lack of clarity in the rule of law asthe principles of this depends on the view of the individual or group as seenwith Dicey and Raz.Another area where the rule of law seems to lack clarity isregarding the Guantanamo bay prisoners who have not had the right to trial eventhough this has been established in the Habeas Corpus Act 167918.The rule of law clearly states that there must be a clear breach of the law anyactions to take place19,but many of the Guantanamo bay prisoners who are British citizens have not beendetained due to a clear breach of law. Many individuals have been detainedunder allegations made against them which conflicts with the theorist Jenningsas well as many others regarding the law upholding human rights20.Lord Bingham stated that he understands Raz's reasoning that the rule of lawshould deny human rights21,which goes against the beliefs of some substantive theorists that the lawshould uphold morality.
22Lord Bingham disagrees with this view. This also creates confusion towardwhether indefinite detention without a breach of law is right or wrong whichcontributes to the point that the rule of law lacks clarity as it's isdifficult to tell whether the actual content is binding or not. But many acts and legislations such as theHabeas Corpus and the Magna Carta are embedded with the principles of the ruleof law, yet it is still not clear whether it is binding or not due to factorssuch as parliamentary supremacy and different viewpoints. Many groups and individual argue that the rule of law isquite clear in its principles and how it operates. AV Dicey established threecore principles of the rule of law; No one is above the law and that thegeneral principles of constitution and the rights of an individual has beenbrought about by judicial decisions in cases brought to the courts meaning therights of individuals are best protected by the common law system23.This has been supported by constitutional experts such as Hayek andcorroborated by the traditional school of thought. 'Friedrich von Hayek, one of the most masterful and insightful economistsand philosophers, is a latter-day exponent of Dicey's viewpoint.
24'This provides clarity in the rule of law as it presents what many theoristshave agreed on as the core principles of the rule of law as the years havepassed thus illustrating that it is clear, and its content is precise.To conclude, the rule of law actsin some ways as a tool to protect the public against the state as seen in thecase of Entick v Carrington. But then again it can only do so much to act as ashield. In some cases, it is not enough to protect from excessive state poweras seen with parliamentary supremacy.
Although it would be difficult to usethis to undermine the rule of law, it is still possible. The rule of law isclear in its core principles. It attempts to promote equality between all,regardless of their position. The way it is applied however does lack someclarity due to factors such as different theorists' opinions and its history.Overall it seems that in todays society the rule of law does protect theindividual from excessive governmental power. This is due to the U.K beingconstitutionally strong.
Its clarity however is debatable due to the vastnumber of views on the rule of laws content, how and when it should be applied.But most legal experts agree with AV Dicey's three core principles, thereforeproviding some clarity.1 Magna Carta 12152 Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, 'Magna Carta: What is it-And Why Is It Still Important Today?'

Q: mysql_result not valid resourced this is my code
function code_exists($code){
  $code = mysql_real_escape_string($code);
  $code_exists = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT('url_id') FROM 'links' WHERE 'code'='$code'");
  return (mysql_result($code_exists, 0) == 1) ? true : false;
}

it is supposed to check the db to make sure the $code is in it or not
but it keeps giving me the same error
Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
/home/codyl/public_html/projects/tests/url/func.inc.php on line 16

A: You have syntax error in mysql query try this.
They are not single quote they are backticks `
mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`url_id`) FROM `links` WHERE `code`='$code'");

I would recommend you should always handle mysql errors.
you can rewrite like this
mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`url_id`) FROM `links` WHERE `code`='$code'")
                      OR
               trigger_error(mysql_error());

A: You are not catching errors coming from mySQL when the query fails. Use mysql_error() to output them, e.g. like so:
$code_exists = mysql_query(....);
if (!$code_exists)
 trigger_error("MySQL error: ".mysql_error(), E_USER_ERROR);

(Using trigger_error() is so when your site goes live, and error reporting is turned off, mySQL errors are not visible to the user.)
In this specific instance, using single quotes for table names is invalid so there will have been a mySQL syntax error.
You need to either use backticks ` or no quoting at all.

A: As being said by Shakti you have an error in your sql
$code_exists = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`url_id`) FROM `links` WHERE `code`='$code'");

You need to surround field name with ticks (`) not single quotes. You should also add a statement to chech if the query was run as expected.
$code_exists = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`url_id`) FROM `links` WHERE `code`='$code'") or die('Error in my query: '. mysql_error());

This will kill your program throwing the mysql error.

Q: Writing HTML to new window opened issue I have this code:

    Launch

  function Test() {
      var new_window= window.open('','Ratting','width=550,height=170,0,status=0,resizable=1');
      new_window.document.createElement("div");
      document.getElementsByTagName('div')[0].innerHTML = '

html data

';

  }

something is not right, I dont see the ordered list item?
I eventually want to build some HTML in the new window.

A: I would try
new_window.document.getElementsByTagName('div')[0].innerHTML = ...

A: Use this Js
function Test() {
   var newWindow= window.open('','Ratting','width=550,height=170,0,status=0,resizable=1');
   var newContent = "<TITLE>One Sub Window</TITLE>";
   newContent += "

html data

";
   newContent += "";
   newWindow.document.write(newContent);
   newWindow.document.close();
 }

A: I think this is your problem; getElementsByName returns an array, not one element, so;
new_window.document.getElementsByTagName('div')[0].innerHTML = '

html data

';

NB: I have a '[0]' in there

A: This should do it:
var new_window= window.open('','Ratting','width=550,height=170,0,status=0,resizable=1');
var div = new_window.document.createElement('div');
new_window.document.body.appendChild(div);
div.innerHTML = '

html data

';

A: You are actually not appending the new div to the new document's body, you'll have to use .appendChild() method for that, see this :
function Test() {
    var new_window = window.open('','Ratting','width=550,height=170,0,status=0,resizable=1');
    var div = new_window.document.createElement("div");
    new_window.document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(div);
    div.innerHTML = '

html data

';
}

see here - working example


Oh my. Where do you meet these people?
Well of course they do, just like spaghetti grows on trees.
Try as I might, I can't imagine what these carrot-like items were that he supposedly plucked from a bush.
I think you should ask him to bring some to work.
Oh wow! You had a live one there!
I don't know if spaghetti grows on trees but if you plant a meatball it turns into a tree.
Anyone else dying to know what this guy thinks are carrots????
I am thinking he just had a brain fart and meant maybe bell or chili pepper(?).
Still, the attitude needs to go.
My mom is doing this all the time. We call it verbal dyslexia. She can get pretty adamant about what she is saying when we question her, even though she has the words mixed up. I've got to believe that was what was going on. Either that or the guy is a complete idiot.
I have a carrot berry tree.
It's right next to my money bush on my unicorn farm.
If he's not a total mo-mo ("Moron squared") then he's prolly thinking of Bulgarian carrot chilis, a nuclear-yet-flavorful chili that is amazing with tangerine or mango in a salsa...But my money's on mo-mo.
Freddie wants to know why the United States has carrot trees and why we have to dig them dirty out of the soil in the UK.
Could you please post a photo of what he actually is talking about? I'm dying to know!
hahaha...I'd have been hard-pressed not to grab this moron and shake him hard. I love how sarcastic they were too - hope they see this.
Have you noticed how these stories of yours really help me vent my pent up anger. Very therapeutic indeed.
were going to pray. Please....don't spoil your writing by taking the name of the Lord.

Marcus Vettulenus (auch Vetulenus) Civica Barbarus war ein römischer Politiker und Senator. In den Militärdiplomen wird sein Name als Marcus Civica Barbarus angegeben.

Barbarus stammte aus Italien, vermutlich aus Sabinium, einer Landschaft zwischen Rom und Terni. Sein Vater war Sextus Vettulenus Civica Cerialis, der im Jahr 106 Konsul war. Seine Mutter Plautia stammte aus Faventia und war vor ihrer Ehe mit Civica Cerialis mit Lucius Ceionius Commodus, Konsul 106, und Gaius Avidius Nigrinus, Suffektkonsul 110, verheiratet. Aus der Ehe mit Commodus hatte sie einen Sohn, den späteren Lucius Aelius Caesar, der damit Halbbruder des Barbarus war.

Barbarus war Triumvir monetalis, Quästor und Prätor. Durch Militärdiplome, die auf den 8. Februar 157 datiert sind, ist belegt, dass er 157 zusammen mit Marcus Metilius Regulus ordentlicher Konsul war. Er begleitete 164 Annia Lucilla zur Hochzeit mit Lucius Verus in den Orient, wo er als comes längere Zeit verblieb, ohne sich allerdings am Partherkrieg aktiv zu beteiligen. Barbarus war mit Herodes Atticus befreundet.

Q: Sending Meeting invite in lightning i have worked in Salesforce Classic for sending meeting invite thru EVENT calendar. But in lightning, I can only save meeting invite. how can i send same meeting invite to contacts on email in lightning. And also store  when they are accepting or rejecting the invite.

A: Add the attendees field to your event layout.
All people intended to receive an invitation should be added as attendees
You can review this article: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=creating_events_lex.htm&type=5
Section: Event Attendees
Lightning Experience offers event attendees, which are similar to event invitees in Salesforce Classic, with a few differences.

A: Just to clarify - when you add Contacts as Attendees they do NOT receive event invitations. Internal Users added as Attendees do receive event invitations.
Vote for my idea to get this into LEX - https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=0873A000000Ca5EQAS


I will always love you, Bob. You so enriched my life and I'm so thankful to have had you love me.
Kathy and John Sheppard were very happily married for 33 years. On November 8th, 2009, her big brother Chris called to tell her that he had been diagnosed with ALS more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. On November 9th, Kathy and John celebrated John's 56th birthday. Four days later she received the phone call that her husband had died suddenly of a massive heart attack. Her life was spinning out of control and she had no idea how she was going to do something that she had never done before – take care of herself all by herself.
As far as finances were concerned, Kathy knew only that John had "flippantly told me that I would be better off with him dead". She had never been on a budget in her life. The only budget she had ever known was for her husband to tell her not to spend any more money that month. Even though her brother and her financial planner both assured her that money-wise she should feel secure, she struggled constantly with believing them. All those "what if" questions were scary and unsettling.
Her brother Chris wrote Kathy a letter shortly after her husband John's death telling her among other things that he would continue to support and cheer her on, hopefully for more than 2 years. Her anticipatory grief on top of the grief of losing her husband was very, very difficult because her dependence on John had transferred to her dependence on her big brother.
Kathy talks about how she learned that "my" friends became different than "our" friends and how it took her awhile to realize that she couldn't control what people say about her, but she can control what they say TO her. She shares that it was a hard lesson to learn and continues to impact her life.
Statement: He is in a better place.
Heart Answer: Well, I thought John was happy here. I thought we had a good marriage, and I thought he was enjoying life. John told me he was happy, that he was looking forward to retiring and traveling, and that he wanted to spend more time with me. He promised me that we would grow old together. And he was really looking forward to being a grandpa someday. A better place?
Statement: Let me know if you need anything.
Heart Answer: How do I know what I need? I am on a journey that I didn't plan or pack for. Do you have any idea how much effort it takes ME to pick up the phone and actually call? You tell me what you want to do and then do it.
Three deaths in one year – her husband, her mother, and her big brother Chris. I understand the grief that this author feels because I lost my husband, my mother, and my father all in 4 months time. But what makes Kathy's story important to me is that she made it through her grief and was able to come out the other side with joy. It gives me hope that I, too, can make it.
I thank you again, Kathy, for letting us know that we aren't losing our minds in the midst of grief.
Tears and laughter are not that different when you think about it. Both are a way of letting something out. Yesterday I sat with a new widow who had just been told that her mother has congestive heart failure. The doctor said that there is nothing they can do for her but to make her comfortable.
Both of my parents had congestive heart failure and the memories of those last days of their lives are still very fresh for me. It was easy for me to cry with my friend as I relived my own sadness knowing what may be ahead for her. We talked about how very hard it is for us as widows having to go through life's hard things without our husbands here to share our grief and to take us in their arms and tell us that everything is going to be ok.
Yet, somehow in the midst of our tears, we were able to laugh some as well as my friend said, "We're a mess, aren't we." Yes, we are both a mess right now. We can cry at the drop of a hat and then we can find something funny to laugh about. Our emotions run from a very low place and then can go to a high place for a few moments. There doesn't seem to be too much middle ground for us in our grief journeys. Someone on the outside looking in would probably think we were both crazy and I can tell you that at times it certainly does feel that way to us.
One person wrote that "Laughter is a way of lifting that heavy burden of loss and all facets of grief if only for a few minutes. It is a wonderful respite." The healing benefits encompass body, mind, and spirit and help to ease the pain.
The book of Proverbs says, "Laughter does good like a medicine." It is a natural antidote.
IT'S OKAY TO GRIEVE: The death of a loved one is a reluctant and drastic amputation without any anesthesia. The pain cannot be described and no scale can measure the loss. We despise the truth that the death cannot be reversed and that somehow our dear one returned. Such hurt! It's okay to grieve.
IT'S OKAY TO CRY: Tears release the flood of sorrow of missing and of love. Tears relieve the brute force of hurting, enabling us to "level off" and continue our cruise along the stream of life. It's okay to cry.
IT'S OKAY TO HEAL: We do not need to "prove" we loved him or her. As the months (or years) pass, we are slowly able to move around with less outward grieving each day. We need not feel "guilty", for this is not an indication that we love less. It means that, although we don't like it, we are learning to accept death. It's a healthy sign of healing. It's okay to heal.
IT'S OKAY TO LAUGH: Laughter is not a sign of "less" grief. Laughter is not a sign of "less" love. It's a sign that many of our thoughts and memories are happy ones. It's a sign that we know our memories are happy ones. It's a sign that we know our dear one would have us laugh again. It's okay to laugh.
One of the most surprising and scariest emotions I am experiencing since my husband died is anger. I have never been an angry person. If someone made me angry, I would go over in my mind what I would like to say to them and how I would handle that particular situation and then I would stuff all the things that I was feeling. I was never allowing myself to be angry or be honest about my emotions because I didn't want to ever show my true feelings and possibly hurt someone else with the expression of my words.
This has gone on for over 50 years, but death and grief has opened up the lid to my Pandora's box and now I am having to deal with everything that's been hidden inside for so long. As each issue comes out of that box, I have the choice to push it back down into it's old hiding place or face it. May I say that I never knew I had so much "junk in my trunk". I always wanted everyone to look at me and think that I had it all together and was always the one making all the right choices. But, it's very obvious to me now that suppressing so many things for so long was the wrong choice.
Yes, there are times to say something to someone and there are times to be quiet, but my challenge now is to figure out when it is healthy for me to speak up and when I do, how do I voice what I am feeling in a healthy way. I am a person who runs from confrontation and avoids it at all costs. After I married Bob, he stood in the gap for me and took care of the hard things. But, he's gone now and I have to "grow a backbone" and take care of myself.
One thing I do know for sure is that I can vent all my anger at God whenever I want to. After all, He knows my heart and exactly what I am feeling. He won't get mad at me for telling Him the truth. He will never turn His back on me for being honest. He made me to feel things as deeply as I do. He knows that I want to please Him and do what's right.
God, help me to know how to handle the emotions of anger that I am finally allowing myself to feel and help me to know what to do with them. When the time comes that I feel I must speak up and confront someone who has made me angry, help me to know what to say and how to say it.
Help me to not only be honest with You, but to learn how to be honest with others when I feel angry. Everything in my life has changed so much since Bob went to be with You and I don't know who this person is that I am becoming. In fact, this person frightens me. Help me in this journey and transition because I cannot do this on my own.
What About My Wedding Rings?
It wasn't until 1 1/2 years after the loss of my husband that I finally had peace about taking off my wedding rings and eternity ring. After almost 37 years, they were so much a part of me and the disconnect was very difficult.
For a long time I been thinking about what to do with them and came up with the idea to take all 3 rings along with my Mother's ring to the jeweler. I asked him if he could take the diamonds and birthstones out, melt all 4 of the rings together, and create 1 special ring that tells our love story using the diamonds and all 4 birthstones. He didn't even hesitate to say "Yes".
On a very small corner of a piece of paper, I had drawn up a design that would work with the number and size of diamonds and birthstones that were set in all of my rings. I am not an artist or a design person, but I decided on a whim to just show it to the jeweler to get his reaction. His immediate response was, "I couldn't have drawn up a better design myself". I was so astounded because I immediately knew that God had given me that ring design and this was the ring that I was to have to put back on my left ring finger and wear as a remembrance of the love, marriage and family that I was so blessed to have with Bob.
Because the design is so unusual, it is noticed many times and has become a way for me to share my story. I call it my "Love Story" ring. How truly blessed I was to have this imperfect, yet, "perfect man for me" in my life for as long as I did.
Two months after Adrian Rogers retired from fifty-four years in the pastorate he received a diagnosis of colon cancer. Six months later he went to meet the Lord. Joyce had loved him for more than sixty years and had been a pastor's wife since she was eighteen years old. To have his life end so suddenly threw her life into a place she had never dreamed that she would be.
The purpose of Joyce's book is to introduce widows to her guide, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Before Adrian's death, Joyce had been wonderful at multi-tasking. But she found that after his death she wished that someone would just tell her what to do. She encourages the widow until the fog lifts to do simple things such as getting out of bed, taking a bath, getting dressed, spending time alone with God, eating breakfast, cleaning up the house, walking the dog, paying the bills. Do not try to think about what the future holds.
Joyce introduces the reader to her new husband – Jehovah Sabaoth (the Lord of hosts) from Isaiah 54:5 which says that because you are a widow, "Your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts is His name." She shares that He fights the widow's battles. He is her protector and her strong redeemer.
She writes one whole chapter on healthy habits and what an adjustment it is to cook for just one. Hints for healthy eating are given as well as breakfast, lunch, and supper ideas along with some healthy desserts if you must have something sweet. Joyce also talks about sleep, exercise and maintaining a positive attitude.
Widows are encouraged by Joyce to reach out to others in their grief and problems because God doesn't want them to waste their sorrows.
There are two appendixes at the end of Joyce's book. The first one is a list of some of the promises that she found in the Bible after the death of her Adrian. The second appendix is her study and understanding of the names of God.
We thank you, Joyce, for sharing with us what you learned through those first years of "widow fog".
Psalm 91 was the final chapter of the Bible that my husband Bob memorized in the last months of his life. Verse 4 is one that I like to mull on and think about.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't wonder what heaven is like. What was it like for my husband that morning when his heart stopped? What did he see? Whom did he see? How did it feel? What is he doing today? I cannot even begin to imagine it much less comprehend it all. Without heaven for look forward to, my life would have no purpose.
Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings to heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
The year 1998 was the one where Kristina Pappas began struggling with the question "What does it mean to trust God – really?" for that is the year she became a widow left with 2 teenagers at home. In her desperation she looked for refuge in the Bible and stumbled on the promise that God is the husband to the widow (Isaiah 54:4) and father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5). Yet, she did not know what that meant. She needed steps of practical application because God's Word was her only hope.
"You are where you are by God's permission, and even though He had the ability to prevent this from happening to you, He didn't. Our experiences will always remain with us to some degree because we are defined by them and our identity will rise out of them as the Potter works at the clay. Being yoked in a marital relationship creates a faith oneness, similar in some ways to the oneness we have in Christ. A certain confident faith develops out of that relationship. When we lose our husband, an important element of our faith confidence is also lost. It is not lost altogether, but we have to be aware of that loss as we, as single believers, begin to rediscover and redefine our faith" says Kristine.
In her book, Kristine talks about bringing balance to our perceptions, bringing balance to our roles, the stages of recovery, stage-stuck, balancing our responses to others, co-dependency, boundaries, and establishing our identity in Christ and several more topics. Her writing is filled with scripture references that are written out so that the reader does not have to look them up. This is especially helpful for a widow when having to do another thing is so difficult.
Kristine discusses how many widows have no one to talk to after their husbands are gone and how we need to unload verbally, but must be sensitive about how and to whom we unload. She reminds us that there is one whom we can "shout at the top of our lungs in frustration to or laugh and cry with" and that is God. He can handle whatever we need to say and has the resources to help us with our problems.
At the end of each chapter is a set of questions designed to help you better understand what you have read. This can also be used as a tool with other widows together. There is an even more extensive study available at www.widowtowidow.net along with other resources for encouragement. Additional study sheets can be found on this website as well and can be printed for personal or group study.
Kristine, thank you for giving us more things to examine in our lives in order to help us in time to find our new identity in Christ.


One of the reasons history changes is that it gets re-interpreted. "Honest Abe" no longer seems so honest, we all know George Washington never chopped down that cherry tree, and Columbus didn't really discover America. All those stories are re-remembered while looking through the eyes of 2015.
The interesting thing about this phenomenon is that whether we are learning history in 1995 or 2015, it feels most accurate at the time we are learning it. Truth is, neither is really accurate at all.
Rather than looking at history through today's eyes, I think we should try to look at history through the eyes of those who lived during that time. If we did that, we would probably find that Columbus was neither a hero nor a villain. He was simply a man. He was a man whom people thought was a white god. A man who unknowingly carried diseases that the indigenous peoples were not immune to. A man who lived in a society with definite ideas of how to colonize and civilize a people. A man who saw opportunity and took advantage of it. Not a particularly good or bad man, but just... a man.
As to whether Columbus Day should be a federal holiday... well, I always like an excuse to have a day off.

Tompor: Subprime borrowers find it easy to get credit cards
Susan Tompor
Good credit? Bad credit? It hasn't mattered much these days when it comes to credit cards now that the financial crisis and recession are far behind us.
We're looking at the greatest number of credit-card carrying consumers since 2005, according to a TransUnion report issued Tuesday. More than 171 million consumers had access to a credit card at the end of the first quarter — the highest level in 12 years, according to TransUnion. Nearly 22 million additional consumers were able to pull out plastic early this year compared with 2010.
The rebound in credit card access — and credit card debt — has been fueled, in part, by lenders easing credit to higher-risk consumers now that the economy and jobs picture have improved.
It has been quite a shift.
Credit card balances increased to $779 billion in the fourth quarter last year, up by $32 billion or 4.3% from the third quarter last year, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Aggregate credit card limits went up 2.3% — the 16th consecutive quarter for increases in credit card limits. The peak for credit card balances was $866 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Credit cards for subprime borrowers experienced the fastest rate of growth of any group in the last two years, said Paul Siegfried, senior vice president and credit card business leader for TransUnion. About 16.33 million consumers who have a credit card are in the subprime risk tier — defined as a score of 600 or less using the VantageScore 3.0 risk model. That's up 2.32 million consumers since the first quarter of 2015. The rate of growth for subprime consumers was 8.9% in the first quarter of 2017 — a much faster clip than other risk tiers.
"As the economy gets better, the standards get lowered a bit," said Bill Hardekopf, CEO of LowCards.com.
Roughly half of subprime borrowers had a credit card last summer. That compares with 60% of subprime consumers in 2007 before the financial crisis hit, according to an August 2016 report based on the latest data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The subprime consumer for this research is defined as having an Equifax credit score of less than 620.

Experts warn that some credit card issuers could pull back and once again tighten credit standards for those with bad credit, as default rates and delinquencies have crept up. Card issuers are walking a fine line between providing credit to consumers who face financial challenges and risking sizable losses should the U.S. economy enter a downturn.
After the financial crisis in 2008-09, card issuers closed accounts in a frantic attempt to put a cap on the red ink. In 2010 and 2011, nearly half of all the credit accounts that were closed were held by consumers with bad credit. Yet at that time, subprime consumers only represented one-third of credit card customers.
"They represent the greatest risk and issuers were looking to cut their risk fairly quickly," Hardekopf said.
Consumers — including those with less-than-pristine credit — should consider three credit card tips:
1) Some credit cards won't fit in your wallet
We're spotting all sorts of TV ads pitching the perks that come with some credit cards, but many heavily advertised cards are available only to consumers with good or excellent credit scores.
Actress Jennifer Garner and her dad can be as excited as they want about the Capital One Venture card, but you're not going to qualify for that card if you've got a 640 credit score or lower. "If you have fair credit, don't apply for a card that requires excellent credit," Hardekopf said.
Fair credit is generally described as a credit score in the mid-to-high 600 range. It's possible to do research online at sites such as Lowcards.com and Bankrate.com for credit cards that can apply to consumers with similar credit scores.
The interest rate on cards for subprime consumers and those with fair credit will be higher — possibly in the high teens to 25%. Some options for those with less than perfect credit: The Capital One QuicksilverOne card, Chase Slate, and Discover it Cashback Match.
Remember: Applying for too many credit cards at once can contribute to a drop in your credit score because it can look like you're in some sort of financial jam.
2) Credit lines might not be as rich as you'd like
While credit card issuers are making plastic available, how much you can charge on those cards can be limited.
The average line of credit for a subprime consumer — someone with a VantageScore of 600 or less — is down by $1,069 compared with the first quarter of 2010, according to TransUnion.
By contrast, a consumer at the opposite end of the credit risk spectrum is seeing a higher available line of credit. Someone who has super prime credit — defined as 781 or higher — would see an average credit line that is up by $4,195 since early 2010, according to TransUnion.
"Credit card issuers are deliberately managing their risk," said Siegfried of TransUnion. An individual's line of credit can be cut if the consumer shows signs of financial distress. Experts say the credit card industry recognizes that subprime consumers often use credit cards because they already have some financial difficulties.
"For subprime, they're always in a recession," Siegfried said.
3) Unfavorable terms? Just don't borrow
If you get fewer hours at work than usual — or lose a job — it becomes tougher to pay off the credit card bill in full each month. Or even make a minimum payment on time. While many consumers are more optimistic about their economic outlook lately, the reality is that the jobless rate won't keep going down and housing prices won't keep going up indefinitely. Some people are already experiencing greater difficulty paying their bills.
The credit card delinquency rate rose to 1.69% in the first quarter, based on payments that were more than 90 days late. That's up from an average of 1.51% for the first quarter in recent years, according to TransUnion. Delinquency rates were expected to climb higher once credit card issuers began opening more doors for subprime borrowers beginning in 2014.
But experts still are keeping a watchful eye on reports from issuers — such as Capital One, Synchrony Financial and Discover Financial Services — about higher loan losses lately relating to the credit card business.
For consumers, the best bet may be to move cautiously when it comes to credit.
"Refrain from borrowing if you have to do so on unfavorable terms," said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst for Bankrate.com. "Budget, save, and allow time for your creditworthiness to improve so you can borrow at more attractive terms."
That's true with credit cards, car loans and the like.
"I hear from people that get saddled with a 14% rate on a car loan and one year later they're struggling to keep up with the payments, aren't crazy about the car anymore, and are upside down so they are stuck," McBride said.
The credit card payment isn't the only bill in town, so it's savvy to keep the spending under control.

Surely, even the rabid anti-nuke lobby would not attempt to claim that a United Nations Committee is in the pocket of the 'Energy Giants', would they? That's one fantasy too far.
I should now be able to respond to their claims, usually built on the 'science' of one individual - from studies bereft of control groups - that you can trust this UN report and henceforth, have no fear of low-level radiation!
In all future discourse, I feel sure they will now then drop the usual hyperbolic death figures from low-level radiation and point readers at this report.
Maybe Not - Business as usual I would guess!

Imperial's Research Data Management policy
What is research data management?
Research data management describes the decisions made to ensure that data collected and used during a research project are properly cared for and maintained. It involves planning for data management needs at the start of the project, organising and storing data during the project, and preparing data for archiving and sharing beyond the end of the project. Good management of research data is beneficial to researchers and ensures that data remains available to validate claims made in published research.
What is 'research data'?
Research data is the evidence that underpins all research conclusions (except those which are purely theoretical) and includes data that has been collected, observed, generated, created or obtained from commercial, government or other sources, for subsequent analysis and synthesis to produce original research results. These results are then used to generate research papers and submitted for publication.
Does the College have a research data management policy?
Imperial College London is committed to promoting the highest standards of academic research, including excellence in research data management. Our research data management policy is designed to give academics clear guidance on the principles of research data management, while allowing them flexibility to select the tools that best suit their approach.
What are my responsibilities as PI?
Principal investigators have overall responsibility for the effective management of research data generated within or obtained for their research, including by their research groups. This includes developing a data management plan (DMP) at the start of a project, ensuring that data is stored in a way that minimises the risk of loss and making shareable data publicly available where this is required to validate published research. See the College's research data management policy for details. The Library and ICT will provide training, guidance and services to support PIs.
I am a PhD student. Does the policy apply to me?
hD students are not required to comply with the College's data management policy but are advised to follow the data management principles outlined in the College's research data management policy and on the College web pages. They are also are encouraged to archive and, where appropriate, share the data that supports their published thesis findings by depositing their data with a trusted repository to improve the visibility of their research.
I have developed software as part of my research project. Does this count as data?
Like data, software can be a valuable research output in its own right. In many cases data cannot be fully understood without the software that was used to generate it. Where software is developed as part of a research project, PIs are required to archive the version of the software that was used to generate/analyse the data and to inform the Library of the location, using Symplectic. Software should be archived even when it cannot be made publicly available. Additional information is available on our web page Making research software open and shareable.
Where can I find out about funder requirements for managing and sharing research data?
Many funding bodies now require or expect researchers to archive and share data which supports published findings. Links to funder data policies are available on our web pages.
What is a data management plan?
A data management plan or DMP is a document that outlines how you will handle your data both during your project and after it is completed. Having a data management plan will help you identify risks to your data, clarify any legal and ethical issues and prepare for any additional costs and resources that might be needed. Many funders require a DMP as part of the grant application. See our web page on How to complete a data management plan for additional information and support.
Where can I store my research data?
The College's recommended platform for storing research data is the Research Data Store (RDS). PIs for projects with active research grants are eligible for 2TB online storage with additional storage available at cost. HPC users have access to 1TB of 'ephemeral storage' (30 days max).
Individual researchers and postgraduate students who don't have access to the RDS can use their College One Drive for Business account to store research data. All staff and students have access to 5TB online storage.
Where can I store sensitive data?
The College recommends that sensitive data is saved and shared using the cloud-service OneDrive for Business. We do not recommend using portable media or personal laptops/PCs to store sensitive data, but if this is unavoidable devices should be password protected and files encrypted. Make sure you have a back-up copy.
Additional information can be found on our web pages storing sensitive and personal data and keeping files and data safe.
Where can I archive my data?
Data that support published findings and/or are considered to have long-term value should be deposited with an established data repository or community database to aid data preservation, sharing and reuse. Where possible, data should be deposited with a domain/subject specific repository. re3data.org is a registry of data repositories that allows you to search by subject.
If no subject repository is available, we recommend depositing with a general-purpose repository such as Zenodo or Figshare. Alternatively, you might consider depositing your data with the College's Research Data Repository.
Email the Research Data Mangement team if you would like help with choosing a suitable repository. Additional help can be found our web page finding a data repository.
Where can I publish my data?
If there are no restrictions on data sharing and the data can be made publicly available, we recommend depositing with a data repository (see FAQ 'Where can I archive my data?'). Depositing with a reputable data repository will also ensure the long-term preservation of your data. Most data repositories will give you a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for your dataset, enabling it to be cited and tracked like a regular publication.
Do I have to publish all my data?
Where possible, data required to validate or reproduce published results, or which has potential value for future research should be made public, but it is important to ensure that publication will not infringe any legal or ethical obligations, for example if the dataset contains personal or patient identifiable data, commercially sensitive information or third party copyright material. However, even sensitive data can be shared if appropriate safeguards and measures are put in place (see FAQ 'My data contains sensitive information').
Furthermore, in some cases - e.g. if the data are generated as a result of running computer simulations - it might be algorithm or script rather than the data that should be preserved and shared.
My data contains sensitive information. Does that mean I don't have to share it?
Not all data can be shared openly without restriction. Data sharing must comply with legal and ethical obligations. Data that contain personally identifiable information must follow the requirements set out by the GDPR. However, even sensitive data can be shared if appropriate safeguards are in place to avoid unwarranted disclosure and protect data confidentiality e.g.
include information about how the data will be shared in informed consent
remove direct and indirect personal identifiers by means of anonymisation techniques
deposit your data with a repository that provides restricted access to datasets (see this list of repositories that enable restricted access)
if there are no suitable data repositories, use a data sharing agreement to specify who can access the data and under what terms and conditions
See our web page Sharing sensitive data for more information
I'm collaborating with another institution. Who owns the data and who is responsible for sharing it?
The College owns any IP created by College Employees in the course of their normal duties unless explicitly stated otherwise. If you are part of a multi-partnered research project with academic or commercial partners, agreements or legal contracts should be in place clarifying IP ownership and determining which data can be shared and which cannot. Guidance on contracts and intellectual property is available from the Research Office. Where there is potential for commercialisation, researchers are advised to contact the College's Industry Partnerships and Commercialisation (IPC) team.
My analysis is based on data sourced from a third party. Am I allowed to publish this data?
If you have obtained data from a third party, you will need to check any licencing or contractual agreements to clarify whether or not the data can be shared.
When should I publish my data?
Data should be made available when the research that it supports is published. In some cases, it may be necessary to embargo the data for a reasonable period, for example when other outputs based on the data have not yet been published. The College recognises the PI's entitlement to be the first to publish based on data they have generated. If the PI will not be able to publish their findings by the funder's deadline for data sharing, the PI should request an extension of the embargo period from the funder.
What is a data access statement?
All research publications produced by Imperial authors must include a statement on how the underlying data can be accessed. This is in line with UKRI and individual funder policies. Our web page How to write a data access statement contains examples of data access statements.
What training and support does the College provide to help researchers manage their data?
Links to training and resources can be found on our web pages.
