Q: Extract string between html tags in php I want to extract string between html tags and convert it into other language using google api and to append the string with html tags.
For example,
This is an example

I want to extract the string "This is an example" and convert it into other language and then again append the string with bold tag.
Could anyone know how to proceed with this?
Regards
Rekha

A: The simplest way is to just use DOM parsing to get the contents of the HTML tags. However, you need to specify which tags you want to get the contents for. For example, you wouldn't want the contents of table or tr, but you may want the contents of td. Below is an example of how you would get the contents of all the b tags and replace the text between them.
$dom_doc = new DOMDocument();
$html_file = file_get_contents('file.html');
// The next line will likely generate lots of warnings if your html isn't perfect
// Put an @ in front to suppress the warnings once you review them
$dom_doc->loadHTML( $html_file );
// Get all references to  tag
$tags_b = $dom_doc->getElementsByTagName('b');
// Extract text value and replace with something else
foreach($tags_b as $tag) {
    $tag_value = $tag->nodeValue;
    // get translation of tag_value
    $translated_val = get_translation_from_google();
    $tag->nodeValue = $translated_val;
}
// save page with translated text
$translated_page = $dom_doc->saveHTML();

Edit: corrected spelling of file_get_contents and added ; after $translated_val

A: $text = 'This is an example';
$strippedText = strip_tags($text);
echo $strippedText; // This is an example

A: Here's a working example of using the Google API to translate server side. The function takes a string as an input and strips HTML tags from it before translating.
The languages are passed in as arguments.
<?php
// This function translates a string $source written in the $fromLang languages to the $toLang language.
function translateTexts($source, $fromLang, $toLang)
{

    /* Language choices: 'AFRIKAANS' : 'af', 'ALBANIAN' : 'sq', 'AMHARIC' : 'am', 'ARABIC' : 'ar', 'ARMENIAN' : 'hy', 'AZERBAIJANI' : 'az', 'BASQUE' : 'eu', 'BELARUSIAN' : 'be', 'BENGALI' : 'bn', 'BIHARI' : 'bh', 'BRETON' : 'br', 'BULGARIAN' : 'bg', 'BURMESE' : 'my', 'CATALAN' : 'ca', 'CHEROKEE' : 'chr', 'CHINESE' : 'zh', 'CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED' : 'zh-CN', 'CHINESE_TRADITIONAL' : 'zh-TW', 'CORSICAN' : 'co', 'CROATIAN' : 'hr', 'CZECH' : 'cs', 'DANISH' : 'da', 'DHIVEHI' : 'dv', 'DUTCH': 'nl',  'ENGLISH' : 'en', 'ESPERANTO' : 'eo', 'ESTONIAN' : 'et', 'FAROESE' : 'fo', 'FILIPINO' : 'tl', 'FINNISH' : 'fi', 'FRENCH' : 'fr', 'FRISIAN' : 'fy', 'GALICIAN' : 'gl', 'GEORGIAN' : 'ka', 'GERMAN' : 'de', 'GREEK' : 'el', 'GUJARATI' : 'gu', 'HAITIAN_CREOLE' : 'ht', 'HEBREW' : 'iw', 'HINDI' : 'hi', 'HUNGARIAN' : 'hu', 'ICELANDIC' : 'is', 'INDONESIAN' : 'id', 'INUKTITUT' : 'iu', 'IRISH' : 'ga', 'ITALIAN' : 'it', 'JAPANESE' : 'ja', 'JAVANESE' : 'jw', 'KANNADA' : 'kn', 'KAZAKH' : 'kk', 'KHMER' : 'km', 'KOREAN' : 'ko', 'KURDISH': 'ku', 'KYRGYZ': 'ky', 'LAO' : 'lo', 'LATIN' : 'la', 'LATVIAN' : 'lv', 'LITHUANIAN' : 'lt', 'LUXEMBOURGISH' : 'lb', 'MACEDONIAN' : 'mk', 'MALAY' : 'ms', 'MALAYALAM' : 'ml', 'MALTESE' : 'mt', 'MAORI' : 'mi', 'MARATHI' : 'mr', 'MONGOLIAN' : 'mn', 'NEPALI' : 'ne', 'NORWEGIAN' : 'no', 'OCCITAN' : 'oc', 'ORIYA' : 'or', 'PASHTO' : 'ps', 'PERSIAN' : 'fa', 'POLISH' : 'pl', 'PORTUGUESE' : 'pt', 'PORTUGUESE_PORTUGAL' : 'pt-PT', 'PUNJABI' : 'pa', 'QUECHUA' : 'qu', 'ROMANIAN' : 'ro', 'RUSSIAN' : 'ru', 'SANSKRIT' : 'sa', 'SCOTS_GAELIC' : 'gd', 'SERBIAN' : 'sr', 'SINDHI' : 'sd', 'SINHALESE' : 'si', 'SLOVAK' : 'sk', 'SLOVENIAN' : 'sl', 'SPANISH' : 'es', 'SUNDANESE' : 'su', 'SWAHILI' : 'sw', 'SWEDISH' : 'sv', 'SYRIAC' : 'syr', 'TAJIK' : 'tg', 'TAMIL' : 'ta', 'TATAR' : 'tt', 'TELUGU' : 'te', 'THAI' : 'th', 'TIBETAN' : 'bo', 'TONGA' : 'to', 'TURKISH' : 'tr', 'UKRAINIAN' : 'uk', 'URDU' : 'ur', 'UZBEK' : 'uz', 'UIGHUR' : 'ug', 'VIETNAMESE' : 'vi', 'WELSH' : 'cy', 'YIDDISH' : 'yi', 'YORUBA' : 'yo', 'UNKNOWN' : ''  */

    // now, process the JSON string
    $json = json_decode($response, true);

    // If response status is okay
    if ($json['responseStatus'] == 200)
    {
        $translated = $json['responseData']['translatedText'];
    } else
    {
        $translated = "****Error. Couldn't translate.****";
    }
    // return translated text
    return $translated;
}

// Get the string you want to translate
$string = "This is an example";
// Strip the HTML tags from the strip and translate it.
echo translateTexts(strip_tags($string), 'en', 'es');

?>

When you run the code above, you should add in a proper self identification to the header.

New Deadpool .82 Code Just dropped. Specifically just for the Pro Model since that is all that is shipping at this point.
So they added an adult mode awesome.
pretty sure they added a more PG version and the current version is default of mature.
Is there a bug thread yet? Found one. Me and a friend had a two player game going and I leaned onto the boom button and it restarted the game with one player. Thus was a location game with paid credits and we were on ball two.
Darn that's a bit disappointing.
Just tried to update to .82. Made it almost all the way through and failed. Hit retry and now all I get is "Unpack failed". Redownloaded cide, sane size as 1st try. Copied files to two different USB drives. Same result.
Have launch party on Friday so this is not good.
Luckily we had a Stern memory card from another game and the update worked on that. Somebody needs to do more testing on the update code as a failed update should NOT brick the GD game.
bjsilverballs I was having a problem w mine also. Do a "full install" and for verification(?) leave it as no. You may have to cycle all the way thru menu to get back to that setting.
It was stuck on the install menu with the only choice being "Full installl". No way around it.
I looked on the memory card in the game that came with it and it already says .82 code on it. So I think I tried to update it with the code that was already on there and that is what bricked the game. Anyone know how to restore it? Now it just starts at the update screen asking for a USB.
Are spike2 games able to except any kind of USB key now? I remember when you had to get lower USB version (1.0) with less than 2GB to get the code to update. Do USB 3.0 16GB USBs work?
.84 code just came out. I'd avoid the .82 as there is a bug which can corrupt your code on update as it did to mine. Its in the new release notes, apparently the use case is if you turned on verify with your update. New code looks good tho!
We managed to copy a good card image onto a random SD card so we had a good backup then got .84 installed. Skipping .82 is a good idea.
Twice since updating to .84 the game has reset itself mid game. Never happened on previous versions. Happening to anyone else?
Last night I had mine reset.
It was mid game, ball trapped one right flipper and was using left flipper to show my bud info. The game lights went out (flippers still worked) then about 2 seconds later flippers died.
Ball drained and game self reset.
Updated code last night before a tournament and had a reset during the tournament.
Every Stern game is known to have reset problems in its code developement. Save IronMaiden as I can't recall it ever reseting. A code update/patch will fix it like in the past.
I'm not worried about it, just reporting so others know there game isn't the lone weirdo if they have a reset.
The team at Stern has already done a great job on delivering an awesome, fun for everyone, product.
I know they'll get it fixed up right.
Yes, the 16GB 3.0s work fine on SPIKE 2 games. I've used them for several code updates at the Banning, Calif. Museum of Pinball.
I've actually had a couple of issues getting USB 2.0 drives to work on SPIKE and SPIKE 2 pins. The 3.0s haven't failed me yet.


They are also nutritious. Yes, they are.
You can buy tamari almonds in health food stores and those dedicated nut places – but you can also make them at home in a jiffy and, even better, they're super easy.
Turn off the heat and there you have it – your own batch of crunchy, salty, nutty snacks!
Variation: I like a bit of heat, so I add a dash of Tabasco to the ones we eat. Sesame seeds are also nice in this mix, but it's entirely up to your palate (and your pantry).
Tamari almonds are excellent to graze on, as a regular snack, and can be mixed into leafy salads alongside other seasonal ingredients.
Here's one of my lunches from last week, when I was thinking to myself "man, we have nothing in the house", then I opened my eyes and realised we had plenty!
Yummo! What a great idea. Thanks Kathleen.
Pleasure! They're so yummy and SO easy to make!

Females in Hindu families have long been discriminated against in terms of both inheritance and succession. For the duration of forty-nine years, men and women had different schemes with regard to inheritance where the woman was refused the right to marital property on the basis of her marital status. Fortunately, in 2005, the amendment to the Hindu Succession Act dealt with most inheritance-based injustice. However, it is observed that Hindu female intestates who die as married women continue to face injustice that is backed up by various discriminatory provisions under the Hindu Succession Act. This paper recognizes the constitutional implications of such provisions and their effect on the elderly.

"Hey I like the way you bend down when you take a photo" says Yvan. "Can you do that again? Yes like that." This from Yvan Rodic off his mega-blog Facehunter. In a moment of honesty here, I'm not overly enthused about Facehunter's photography, but I love the way he really gets amongst it and crams the most into his blog. It's got a wonderful spirit and he's a cool guy. So...yes, I got facehunter'd.
Your camera looks so cool! What make is it? Also love the plaid scarf, men don't wear these enough.
It is a Leica M9. I LOVE my check scarf..
It's so fun to see the camera turned on the photographer. Love your plaid scarf, too.

Social Networking Platforms Market - Forecasts from 2021 to 2026
Knowledge Sourcing Intelligence LLP
The global social networking platforms market is evaluated at US$192.950 billion for the year 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 25.38% to reach a market size of US$939.679 billion by the year 2026.
The social networking platforms market has been increasing at an exponential rate. The rise in demand is not only just from the millennials but has also risen due to significant adoption by all age groups. Moreover, the application of social networking platforms witnessed a substantial rise owing to the demand coming from the companies which use the platforms for marketing purposes as well. A social networking/messenger site is an online platform that people use to build social networks or social relations with other people who share similar personal or career interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections. In June 2020 alone, one app in the Apple App Store (LINE) had generated $6.78 million in global app revenues. Major factors expected to drive the growth of social media are being increasingly acknowledged as a platform that helps in directing search keywords towards the websites of companies, leading to enhanced website traffic and brand popularity/visibility. The proliferation of smartphones is also playing a vital role in the growth of the market. Social media apps designed for smartphones regularly track activities and further increase the relevance of social media marketing.
Furthermore, the exponential rate of data generated from social networking platforms has led companies to make marketing and customer-related decisions on the basis of customer data. The analytics done through these networking platforms is widely considered to be a significant business and marketing tool in the present-day business scenario. To gain actionable insights on consumer perceptions and improve their services and product portfolio, businesses across the world are using social media analytics. The rising adoption of social networking platforms by various end-users for several purposes is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. For instance, according to Facebook, it had 1,562 million active users daily, as of the first quarter of 2019. In fact, Twitter stated that 500 million Tweets are sent each day and 9% more people are using Twitter every day, reinstating the growing penetration of social media networks at a global level.
Increase In Use Of Internet Accessible Devices - Rising penetration of mobile, tablet and other electronics and rising data consumption will drive the social median increase Increase in internet-accessible accessible electronic devices smartphones phones and tablets leads to an increase in time spent on social media websites.
The advent of COVID-19 had a diverse impact on the global social networking platforms market. The market was significantly impacted during the initial months wherein businesses were disrupted due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity and restricted movement of goods and services with countries entering a state of lockdown. The outbreak is expected to continue to have a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, many media markets have been unaffected or benefited from this as they transmit their content remotely through digital channels. Even though the e-commerce businesses running only through social networking platforms were negatively impacted, the overall use of such platforms witnessed a monumental increase during the period. According to the report by DataReportal, 43% of the consumers spent longer on these platforms, 54% watched more shows and movies on streaming services. Lockdowns may have been lifted across many countries, but many of the new digital behaviors that people adopted during confinement have endured, resulting in meaningful increases in various kinds of digital activity.
For context, Akamai reports that global internet traffic has grown by as much as 30 percent this year, while research from GlobalWebIndex shows that the users are still spending considerably more time using connected tech than they were at the start of 2020.
The segmentation of the global social networking platforms market has been done into application, end-users, and geography. By application, the classification of the market has been done into entertainment and commercial. By end-users, the classification of the market has been done into personal, SMEs, Large enterprises. Furthermore, on the basis of geography, the global market has been distributed as North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
Increasing e-commerce platforms that use social networking platforms is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
The growth of the social networking platforms market is fuelled by the increasing number of e-commerce platforms using these platforms for various purposes. Social media companies are offering their social media platforms for electronic commerce of goods and services to drive revenues. This can be attributed to the increasing adoption of e-commerce and online shopping among consumers owing to the growing internet and smartphone penetration. For example, as of 2018, about 70% of China's Generation Z (people born between 1900 and 2010) shop directly from social media channels. Social media platforms allow for targeted advertising based on consumers' social behaviors, geographic locations, and demographics. Instagram, a photo and video-sharing social networking service, has added a 'Shopping' tab to the 'Explore' page in its app. Facebook has introduced 'Marketplace' which is used by about 800 million people globally for online shopping, as of 2018. Other social media companies such as Snapchat and Twitter have also integrated shopping advertisements to facilitate direct purchases within their platforms.
A steady decline in the effectiveness of traditional advertising campaigns, coupled with rising social media usage, prompted businesses to adopt a more data-oriented approach for their marketing strategies. The emergence of social media analytics has transformed the way marketing campaigns are planned and carried out in the present day. Social networks, such as Facebook, have realized the importance of targeted advertising that they are offering through paid solutions to businesses, wherein location, demographics, and end-device information of consumers are made available for businesses to reach out to the targeted section of consumers. In fact, according to HubSpot, a developer, and marketer of software products for inbound marketing and sales, marketers increased social advertisement budgets by 32% in 2018, leading to the production of more ads than ever before. In 2019, more brands may strengthen their online customer service practices and even move to new platforms that may potentially offer more effective technology for customer service to thrive online, such as WhatsApp and Messenger. The release of the WhatsApp Business API in August 2018 may continue to be a total game-changer in the industry. There were three million registered users on WhatsApp business by the end of the first quarter.

Online Masters of Accounting program ranked No. 13 by Masters in Accounting
The University's online masters of accounting program (WebMAcc) was recently recognized in the top 15 of the "Top Ranked Online Master's in Accounting Programs" by MastersInAccounting.info.
A leading career and education website focused on graduate programs in accounting and finance, Master's in Accounting's Top Schools ranking is based on a proprietary methodology designed to measure academic quality, affordability and graduate success. The methodology used to determine the ranking considers factors such as the average tuition cost per online credit hour; program accreditation by the AACSB, ACBSP or IACBE; the average mid-career pay of alumni; and school rankings according to U.S. News & World Report in the regional, national and online categories. Another part of the criteria to be considered was not-for-profit status.
"Enrollment in online degree programs is increasing, and schools are responding by offering more distance education programs at the graduate level – which can be particularly convenient for those who are already working full-time," said Rob Voce, founder of Masters in Accounting. "Our ranking is designed to help these prospective students learn about and compare first-rate online master's in accounting programs that offer long-term value."
The Top Online Master's in Accounting Programs list includes detailed information on schools' admissions statistics and requirements as well as tuition comparisons. For the top-ranking schools, the list also provides school acceptance rates, profiles of available programs and concentration options, core coursework requirements and focus area, and employment and debt statistics for 2014-2015 graduates. To view the full rankings and program details, visit MastersinAccounting.info.
"The Georgia Southern WebMAcc program is an extension of our excellent on-campus Master of Accounting program. This ranking is very helpful to us as we continue to develop up-to-date new content for the students who are unable to join us for the residential campus experience," stated Tim Pearson, Ph.D., director for the School of Accountancy. "Receiving this recognition is validation of the quality of our faculty and their engagement with students wherever they may be."
Georgia Southern University, a public Carnegie Doctoral/Research University founded in 1906, offers more than 125 degree programs serving 20,673 students. Through eight colleges, the University offers bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs built on more than a century of academic achievement. Georgia Southern is recognized for its student-centered and hands-on approach to education. Visit GeorgiaSouthern.edu.

"I practice all the time": Ford put French lessons on hold during the pandemic
Oct 18 2021, 7:56 pm
Doug Ford (Premier of Ontario Photography)
Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters on Monday that despite his 2019 promise to learn French, he has paused his lessons due to the pandemic.
He told reporters that despite putting his lessons on hold, he's still practicing.
"The pandemic made me stop it, and I practice all the time," he said.

Ford "understands" concerns about vaccine passport as he assures Ontarians it's temporary
Here's how Ontario's enhanced vaccine certificates will work
He added that his Minister of Transport, Caroline Mulroney, helps him with his French from time to time.
"She's a great French teacher and always gives me the phrases, so I'll get there, but I just wanted to be safe," he said.
Ford said that he couldn't rightfully continue his in-person classes when he was directing students and others to do online learning.
He did not say why he was unable to be instructed remotely like millions of Ontario students during the last school year.


Asciano has agreed to a $9.05 billion takeover deal that will carve up the Australian rail and ports giant among rival suitors in an effort to sidestep regulatory concerns.
Asciano, which has been the subject of a long-drawn takeover battle between local logistics firm Qube and Canadian infrastructure giant Brookfield, has signed binding agreements with a joint consortium that includes the two rivals and six other global investment funds.
The company's board has recommended the joint offer, with shareholders to receive $9.15 per share in cash and an interim dividend of 13 cents a share.
Asciano, which owns the Pacific National rail freight business, and handles nearly half of all container traffic entering or leaving Australia through its Patrick container terminal unit, is seen as a coveted acquisition for infrastructure-focused global pension funds.
In February it reported a lift in its half year profit to nearly $200 million on the back of strong coal haulage volumes, and reiterated guidance for flat to low single-digit growth in full year earnings.
Under the new proposal, Asciano's main Pacific Rail business will be taken over by five funds – China Investment Corp, Canada's CPPIB, Singapore's GIC, Global Infrastructure Partners and British Columbia Investment Management Corp (BCIMC).
The Patrick container terminal business will be jointly acquired by Qube and Brookfield for $2.92 billion, with Brookfield consortium partners GIC, BCIMC and Qatar Investment Authority also participating.
Asciano's bulk, auto and ports services (BAPS) businesses will be taken over by Brookfield, GIC, QIA and BCIMC for $925 million, with Qube holding rights to buy out the 50 per cent stake in the Australian Amalgamated Terminals business, for $150 million.
"I believe the agreement we have now reached represents the most common sense resolution to the ownership of Asciano and delivers the best result for all stakeholders," Qube managing director Maurice James said.
Mr James and Qube chairman Chris Corrigan have previously run the Patrick business.
Qube separately announced an $800 million equity raising to fund the Patrick acquisition. The company is raising $494 million through a rights share issue to existing shareholders, at a discounted price of $2.05 a share.
It will also raise another $306 million from a share placement to CPPIB at a higher price of $2.14 per share.
The takeover deal will be subject to a review by the ACCC.
The competition regulator has previously flagged concerns over Brookfield's previous bid, and had also been evaluating Qube's previous offer, but suspended the process last month on news the two groups were planning a joint bid.
Qube said the transaction has been structured to address all potential competition issues that could be raised by the regulator.
The consortium will lodge a detailed submission to the ACCC on the proposal.


To prove that there was life after Carol Vorderman, Channel 4's Countdown took on a new letters-and-numbers person, Rachel Riley, as a replacement. Ms Riley has done the showbiz rounds since her first appearance on the show in 2009, including becoming another casualty of The Curse Of Strictly. But her social media profile was not a thing of controversy - until she decided to wade into the political arena.
Ms Riley has become embroiled in the debate over anti-Semitism, and how prevalent it is in the Labour Party. Many others have done so; it is not an exceptional stance to be thus concerned. But it was when Alan Sugar declared that if Jeremy Corbyn won the next General Election, he would leave the country, that she made her fateful move.
After Owen Jones had commented "In fact his specific reason for saying he'd leave the country Phil Collins style was that Corbyn would trash the economy - he said it'd be like watching your mum in law drive your Ferrari off a cliff" in response to those suggesting that the departure was because Sugar is Jewish, Ms Riley went in with both feet.
"OMG. You've still not got it. I couldn't give a monkey's about Sugar's words at this point. Saying he would leave for fears of his (probably yet unborn) great grandchildren implies it's not financial. And my original complaint was that a MINORITY GROUP under intense scrutiny and abuse for even detecting racism against them, might find it distasteful in the way they are likely to interpret that, due to many of them feeling the same. STOP. LISTEN. Then stop arguing the wrong thing. It's excruciating".
Many responded negatively to her intervention. Worse, some noticed that, on this subject, Ms Riley was - perhaps inadvertently - standing in an awfully draughty glasshouse. Because when Mark Meechan, who styles himself Count Dankula, told his followers "While awaiting sentencing, Court has ordered that I meet with a court social worker for an assessment as to whether or not a Restriction Of Liberty Order will be placed on me. This would involve a GPS tracking device being attached to me and me being placed under house arrest", she had responded with a sympathetic "Insane".
Mark Meechan found himself in that pre-sentencing state after it had been shown he had trained his partner's dog to make a Nazi salute whenever he shouted "Gas the Jews". He's a pal of Stephen Yaxley Lennon, who styles himself Tommy Robinson, whose Islamophobia is legendary. And Rachel Riley has sympathised with him.
So when Ms Riley tells "On a separate note, a HUGE, MASSIVE, heartfelt thank you to each and every person calling #Antisemitism out, showing your support, challenging the ignorant or the bigoted, or even just by fact checking what you're reading in this whole awful tale", perhaps she has a little more of this "whole awful tale" to learn about.
Anti-Semitism is out of order. But so is sympathising with its proponents.
The mere notion of Sugar leaving the country is enough to get me joyfully pissed tonight.
And he could take that pile of narcissistic morally corrupt cringeworthy garbage The Apprentice with him - plus the forehead knuckling participants and those who make the propagandist shite.
None of them will be a loss, whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Budhist, Hindu or atheist. We could do with a good healthy clear out of the lot of them, preferably to somewhere in the Bering Strait.
Given her job is specifically about being good with letters, you'd think she'd be more careful about stringing them together wouldn't you? I normally like her, but she's proven to be another celeb woefully out of her depth when it comes to giving a political opinion via social media...and why even bother leaping to Sugar's defence? Well because her Countdown mate is his paid crony I guess. Ridiculous.
Anon, The Apprentice really is cack isn't it? I still watch it, Christ knows why. It's perversely enjoyable to watch these jumped up idiots show how little IQ they have but its ridiculous to believe they have a hope in hell in business. The show mutated into a light ent game show years back and with each series finale they bring back the same past winners, including Charlie Hanson alike inventor Tom who, in 2011, claimed he'll be bigger than Dyson and has seemed to have spent the last 7 years fannying about with nail files.
The biggest, sickest joke however is this propaganda that Sugar is a businessman. How many important players could really afford to give up so much of their time to a game show each year? The fact that the show no longer employs apprentices tells you all you need to know about how little prospect Sugar's interests have now. And as for his investment, who's to say it's not just the salary he takes each year from the beeb?
Whenever the winners of the dreadful show begin to work with Sugar, it always ends badly, usually a pay off in return for a gagging order.
Rachel isn't the sharpest tool in the C4 toolbox, if she hasn't worked it out yet, she is the eye candy for a show that is a snooze fest and should have been axed when the original presenter died.
I had a look at her twitter after reading this post yesterday, jeez it's like looking into an open sewer. It looks like she's been to Auschwitz recently and that has understandably affected her a great deal, as it would any compassionate human being. However, how she's gone from that to believing it could happen here under a Labour government is frankly ridiculous. She's been cosying up to the Baddiel whichs tells us exactly where the ideas are coming from. There's a tweet from David Baddiel saying she's a great new striker on the kick as out team...talk about trivialising an issue!
What annoys me is that they attack the likes of Owen Jones for - as they chose to believe - deliberately manipulating information...something which presumably is the sole domain of theirs, given that Baddiel went on Frankie Boyle's show claiming that Corbyn supporters believe the world is influenced by a shadowy cabal of Jews - information he got from the poll ahead of the Labour leadership election, that he deliberately manipulated as the real question was is the world influenced by an establishment. The word Jew was never mentioned or indeed implied, and every other Labour candidates supporters answered the question too.

Israel Must End Campaign of Repression Intent on Silencing Palestinian Human Rights Organizations and Defenders
On August 18, 2022 Israeli security forces stormed and shut down the offices of six leading Palestinian human rights organizations in the West Bank, on the charge that they are associated with a terrorist organization. This claim has been widely refuted by UN Human Rights experts, the EU, US intelligence services as well as other governments.
This raid follows designations of the six organizations as terrorist groups in October 2021. The organizations include: The Union of Palestinian Women's Committees, which empowers Palestinian women on all levels, Al-Haq, an internationally respected human rights organization, the Bisan Center for Research and Development, Addameer, which advocates for the rights of Palestinian prisoners, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, and Defence for Children International – Palestine (DCI-P).
These Israeli raids are part of broader and relentless campaign being carried out by Israel aimed at rendering Palestinian and Israeli human rights organizations inactive and forcing them into silence. It is no surprise that this assault is taking place as Israel has once again stepped up its campaign of violence against Palestinians including through targeting of women, children and civilian populations at large.
This designation and the subsequent shut down of the 6 rights NGOs, is a transparent attempt by Israel, like other authoritarian states in the region, to misuse anti-terror legislation to silence civil society disent and criticism, so the violation of human rights of Palestinians can continue unabated.
FEMENA condemns the shutdown of the 6 Palestinian human rights organizations and the Israeli campaign to silence Palestinian civil society and human rights defenders.
FEMENA calls on the international community, including the UN, the US and European governments, to strongly condemn not only Israeli raids on rights organizations, but the recent escalation of violence against Palestinians. The international community must hold Israel accountable for its continued violation of the rights of Palestinians and its repressive policies against civil society.

Q: Is the heap actually a heap?
Possible Duplicates:
Why are two different concepts both called "heap"?
What's the relationship between "a" heap and "the" heap?

In .NET (and Java as far as I know), the area where objects are dynamically allocated is referred to as the managed heap.  However, most documentation that describes how the managed heap works depicts it as a linear data structure, such as a linked list or stack.
So, is the managed heap actually a heap, or is it implemented with some other data structure?  If it actually does not use a heap data structure, is seems like a significant failure of terminology to overload the meaning of this word.
If it is in fact a heap data structure, what is the value that satisfies the heap property: the size of the allocated memory region?

A: No, the heap is not a heap-ordered binomial tree at all. It's not clear (to me) whose fault the terminology clash is, but both uses of heap date back decades now (mid-1970, it appears). Some of the history is discussed in this article.

A: I certainly don't have the historical knowledge to comment on this with any authority, but I believe the term "heap" as employed to describe the memory allocation mechanism for longer-lived objects in .NET and Java is more intended as an evocative, descriptive word—like, this big unstructured (from the dev's viewpoint) mass of memory where stuff lives. The "stack" in contrast evokes the image of a much more structured region of data (again, from the dev's viewpoint): "where" things live on the stack feels a lot more relevant than "where" they live on the heap.
This is clearly very different from the actual heap data structure, which uses the word "heap" to refer to the so-called heap property (from Wikipedia):

if B is a child node of A, then key(A) ≥ key(B).

So yeah, they're actually unrelated. One is just a descriptive term whereas the other has a much more formal definition.

A: In this sense, "heap" means: a special memory area used for store important resources. In that context it is not related to the "heap data strucure".

A: I'm not sure my answer, but as far as i know in languages like C# or Java, where memory is managed my Garbage Collector the memory region is not linear. The GC is freeing the memory that can free and when the memory is low it compacts the memory doing some kind of defragmentation. It moves blocks of memory that program uses to make some space in "the end".
Why you need this answer? Do you want to make some low-level memory management?

The three firms claimed they did business in Wyoming, an unregulated state, while maintaining offices elsewhere, the SEC says.
The firms face fines and cease-and-desist orders.
Firms based in Wyoming must register with the SEC because the state does not regulate investment advisors. According to the orders issued on Wednesday, the firms willfully misrepresented their places of business on their Forms ADV. The three firms are New Line Capital, Wyoming Investment Management Services and Arete Ltd.
New Line Capital is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, but the firm's owner and chief compliance officer, David Nagler, reorganized his company as a Wyoming limited liability company and filed an amended Form ADV in March 2012. Despite continuing to live and work in New Mexico, Nagler continued to claim Wyoming as his main place of business on Forms ADV from April 2013, February 2014 and March 2014.
Nagler also misrepresented New Line's assets under management by including assets that were not securities portfolios, like real estate and operating enterprises, and portfolios that he didn't provide regular and continuous supervision for, according to the order. "Although New Line did not charge advisory fees on these assets, by including these assets, New Line materially misrepresented its AUM," the SEC wrote.
The SEC further claims that New Line's financial and trading records were inadequate.
The SEC claims Nagler was solely responsible for preparing and filing the firm's Forms ADV, calculating assets under management and maintaining books and records. As a result of his actions, "New Line willfully violated, and Nagler willfully aided and abetted and caused New Line's violations of" Sections 203A, which outlines which authority an advisor must register with; 207, which make it illegal to make material misstatements on any application or report filed with the SEC; and 204(a), which requires advisors to "make and keep" certain records.
In addition to the cease and desist, Nagel must pay $25,000 within 10 days of the order.
In the case of Wyoming Investment Management Services and its president and sole employee, Craig Scariot, the SEC claims that in December 2012, Scariot formed WIMS as a Wyoming limited liability company, and rented an office and opened a bank account for the firm in Cheyenne. He filed an initial Form ADV the following February, naming Cheyenne as the firm's principal place of business.
Furthermore, books and records were maintained in Santa Fe, New Mexico, according to the SEC's cease and desist order.
The SEC is charging WIMS and Scariot with violating Sections 203A and 207 of the Advisers Act.
As part of an offer submitted by Scariot and accepted by the SEC, Scariot has pledged to move his business to Wyoming and to provide in writing a narrative of his steps toward compliance. He is also being fined $10,000.
Brenda Ridley is the sole employee and chief compliance officer of Arete Ltd., a Wyoming limited liability company doing business as Sky Peak Capital Management. However, the SEC claimed in separate orders for Ridley and Arete that Ridley is a resident of Bakersfield, California, and that Arete's principal place of business is nearby Irvine.
As such, and because Arete had "no other basis" to register with the SEC, "it was prohibited from registering with the Commission as an investment advisor," according to the cease-and-desist order.
After Arete's initial Form ADV in November 2012, Ridley filed three more that maintained Cheyenne as the principal place of business. The order states that Arete stopped conducting business in late 2013.
In February 2013, though, the securities commissioner for Colorado filed a complaint against Ridley and other advisors claiming they were "carrying out a scheme to defraud investors through the use of investments in a so-called 'private equity fund,'" and that they were violating Section 11-51-301, C.R.S, for offering or selling unregistered securities; Section 11-51-401, C.R.S., for acting as an unlicensed sales representative; and Section 11-51-501(1), C.R.S., for securities fraud.
Arete did not file a new Form ADV disclosing the complaint, or a Dec. 30, 2013 order granting permanent injunction against Ridley.
Consequently, Ridley is being charged with violating Sections 203A, 207 and 204(a).
Furthermore, the order notes, should Ridley ever reapply for association, she may be subject to paying any disgorgement, even if partially or fully waived by the SEC; arbitration awards, including those to a customer imposed by a self-regulatory organization, even if that award is not related to the current order; and any restitution order imposed by an SRO, even if not related to the current order.
Despite that offer being accepted by the SEC, the cease-and-desist order against Ridley's firm, Arete, states a public hearing will be held next month to determine whether all the claims against the firm are true, what action may be appropriate, including the possibility of a civil penalty, and whether a further cease-and-desist should be issued against the firm.

The Wall Street Journal Slams Rand Paul's 'Drone Rant' With A Brutal Editorial: 'Calm Down, Senator'
Brett LoGiurato
Mar. 7, 2013, 11:30 AM
The conservative editorial board of the Wall Street Journal criticized Sen. Rand Paul for his nearly 13-hour filibuster Wednesday, terming it a "drone rant" that was about "theatrical timing."
The Journal blasted Paul for not understanding the laws of war, writing that Paul's reasoning for questioning the U.S.'s policies on drone strikes did not match his "showmanship." And they dismissed his "theatrical" references to, among others, Jane Fonda.
Calm down, Senator. Mr. Holder is right, even if he doesn't explain the law very well. The U.S. government cannot randomly target American citizens on U.S. soil or anywhere else. What it can do under the laws of war is target an "enemy combatant" anywhere at anytime, including on U.S. soil. This includes a U.S. citizen who is also an enemy combatant. The President can designate such a combatant if he belongs to an entity—a government, say, or a terrorist network like al Qaeda—that has taken up arms against the United States as part of an internationally recognized armed conflict. [...]
Such a conflict exists between the U.S. and al Qaeda, so Mr. Holder is right that the U.S. could have targeted (say) U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki had he continued to live in Virginia. The U.S. killed him in Yemen before he could kill more Americans. But under the law Awlaki was no different than the Nazis who came ashore on Long Island in World War II, were captured and executed.
The Journal closed its editorial by calling Paul's filibuster nothing more than a "stunt."
"If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in their college dorms," the Journal wrote. "He needs to know what he's talking about."
Paul addressed the Journal's editorial and other conservative criticism during an interview with conservative radio host Glenn Beck this morning. Paul suggested that applying the laws of war on U.S. soil would be a slippery slope.
"The difference is, is that if you say America's part of the battlefield and you want the laws of war to apply over here, just describing someone as an enemy combatant — see, a year or two ago, they described people who are pro life, people who are for strong immigration and strong secure borders, people who believe in third parties," Paul said.
"... So we have to be concerned about just saying someone's a dangerous person or enemy combatant, you have to prove that. You can't just accuse someone and then they get killed."

The National Imagery and Mapping Agency blocked access to a wide range of its publicly available maps last week while officials reviewed the maps to make sure they did not contain information that could jeopardize national security. NIMA issued the unprecedented freeze last Wednesday as a security precaution in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist strikes on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, according to NIMA spokeswoman Joan Mears. The order prohibited agencies from selling or making accessible for copy all NIMA topographic maps. While most of these maps are now available to the public, maps of U.S. military installations and more detailed maps of the United States remain off-limits for security reasons, according to Mears. "It's not the intent to bog things down," she said. "[These maps] are being held back because of force protection considerations." Created in 1996, NIMA handles mapping and imaging services for the Defense Department and intelligence agencies. The majority of NIMA products are classified, but NIMA allows other agencies to make some maps and satellite images available to the public. Last week, NIMA directed the U.S. Geological Survey and the Federal Aviation Administration to halt sales of all NIMA-made topographic maps and ordered the Library of Congress and National Archives and Records Administration to deny public access to such maps, Mears said. The sales restriction extended to private firms that are licensed to sell NIMA products. NIMA's nautical and aeronautical maps, which are used for ship and air navigation, were not part of the review and are still available to the public, according to Mears. The Library of Congress quickly obtained a waiver to the NIMA freeze so it could continue providing access to topographic maps of Vietnam, a popular collectors' item among Vietnam veterans, according to Library officials and Ken Lee, CEO of Eastview Cartographic, a private firm that sells some NIMA products. One intelligence expert questioned the wisdom of the freeze, noting that since NIMA is not the only source of map information, restricting access to NIMA maps will not improve security. "At www.mapquest.com, if you type in the address of any military headquarters, you can get the map and a beautiful aerial image of the headquarters and the surrounding area," said Robert David Steele, CEO of Open Source Solutions, a Virginia-based intelligence consulting firm. "Censorship of open source [information] is not the answer." The terrorist strikes also prompted NIMA to postpone outsourcing 600 information technology and services jobs to a joint venture of two Alaskan Native-owned corporations. NIMA now plans to award a final contract for the joint venture in December.
