Miley Cyrus: no stranger to controversy ( KYLE GRILLOT/AFP/Getty Images )
Miley Cyrus faces backlash for saying you 'don't have to be gay' as there are 'good men out there'
The singer's comments have aroused anger from some sections of the LGBT community

Miley Cyrus' recent declaration that you "don't have to be gay" because there are "good men out there" has caused something of a storm on social media.
The Wrecking Ball singer made the controversial comments on Instagram live on Sunday evening, accompanied by her new partner, Cody Simpson.
In the footage, the 26-year-old can be seen saying: "There are good men out there, guys, don't give up. You don't have to be gay, there are good people with d**ks out there, you've just got to find them. You've got to find a d**k that's not a d**k, you know?
"I always thought I had to be gay, because I thought all guys were evil, but it's not true. There are good people out there that just happen to have d**ks. I've only ever met one, and he's on this live."
Of the many prejudices lesbians, bisexual and queer-identifying women face, being told that they just haven't met "the right guy" is a common one.
Shape Created with Sketch. 35 times actors fell in love on set
1/35 Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – Mr & Mrs Smith (2005)
Who can forget the passionate fight scenes in Mr & Mrs Smith, as the onscreen spy couple who are contracted to kill one another? It was on this film set that Pitt and Jolie met and reportedly fell in love – though they both deny that there was any overlap between their relationship and Pitt's marriage to Jennifer Aniston. The couple dubbed "Brangelina" shared six children together, got married in 2015 but separated in 2016.
2/35 Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith – The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1994)
The couple met auditioning for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1994, got married in 1997, and have been together ever since. They have two children together, Willow and Jaden.
3/35 Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn – Woman of the Year (1942)
Tracey famously remained married throughout his 25-year love affair with Hepburn, whom he met when filming Woman of the Year in 1942. "I'm a bit tall for you, Mr Tracy," Hepburn observed. "Don't worry," a producer standing by responded. "He'll cut you down to size." They starred in nine movies together, struggling to upstage one another every time, but it was not until after Tracy's wife died in 1983 that Hepburn publicly acknowledged her relationship with her Hollywood co-star.

4/35 Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart – Twilight (2008)
The world went mad for Robert Pattinson. What can be more seductive than a good-looking vampire who then dates his co-star in real life? Pattinson and Stewart's on-off relationship dominated the headlines after they met on the set of Twilight in 2008 while playing lovers Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. It all came to a head when paparazzi photos caught Stewart kissing her married Snow White director Rupert Saunders in 2012. Pattinson and Stewart briefly reconciled, but then split up for good in 2013.
5/35 Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky – Mother! (2017)
Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence's relationship with Darren Aronofsky took off when they met on set of his film Mother! in which Lawrence was cast in the lead role opposite Javier Bardem. But a year later, they broke up, with Lawrence citing the stresses of having a working relationship as the cause of the break-up. "We'd be on the tour together [and] I'd come back to the hotel and the last thing I want to talk about or think about is a movie. He comes back from the tour and that's all he wants to talk about." "I get it," she continued. "It's his baby. He wrote it. He conceived it. He directed it. So I was doing double duty of trying to be a supportive partner while also being like 'Can I please for the love of God not think about Mother! for one second?'"
6/35 Freida Pinto and Dev Patel – Slumgdog Millionaire (2008)
The couple who fell in love on the set of the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire in 2008 and embarked on a six-year relationship after rising to fame together. They both went as far as to describe one another as "soul mates", while Slumdog co-star Anil Kapoor said the couple shared "magic chemistry", but sadly, they didn't last. Pinto admitted that she was having an early "mid-life crisis" and needed to learn how to love herself.
7/35 Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz – Dream House (2010)
Although Weisz and the Bond star had known each other for years, their romance reportedly started on the Canadian film set of the thriller Dream House, in which they play a married couple in a haunted house. Although the couple at first denied it, Weisz then split from her partner of nine years, Darren Aronofsky, while Craig split from his fiancée of seven years, Satsuki Mitchell, an American film producer. In 2011, they tied the knot, and they had their first child together in 2018, when Weisz was 48.
8/35 Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton – Cleopatra (1963)
The turbulent relationship between Taylor and Burton is one of the most infamous in Hollywood history. It all started on set of the epic Hollywood movie Cleopatra, when they played the lovers Cleopatra and Mark Antony. Taylor was married to Eddie Fisher and Burton to Sybil Williams but they tied the knot in 1964, divorced in 1974, then married again in 1975 and divorced in 1976. That's a lot of wedding presents and lawyer bills.
9/35 Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder – Edward Scissorhands (1990)
The Hollywood stars famously dated between 1989 and 1993, after meeting on the set of Edward Scissorhands. Depp was so in love with his onscreen love interest while filming the Tim Burton film that he got the tattoo "Winona Forever". When the two split up in 1993, he had the tattoo changed to "Wino Forever". Apparently Hairspray director John Waters, was ordained as a minister just to officiate their wedding, but he talked them out of it, as Ryder, then aged 19, was so young.
10/35 Mia Goth and Shia Lebeouf – Nymphomaniac (2012)
Goth, a then-unknown British actor, met Hollywood star Lebeouf on the set of Lars von Trier's sexually provocative film Nymphomaniac. Eventually, the couple had a "commitment ceremony" in 2016 at an Elvis Presley-themed chapel in Las Vegas and promised to adopt one another's hound dogs. The wedding was live-streamed and picked up by TMZ (apparently unbeknown to Shia). Lebeouf went on to date FKA twigs, whom he met on the film set of his own film Honey Boy.
11/35 Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz – Vicky Christina Barcelona (2008)
This Hollywood couple got together on set of the Woody Allen film. Bardem played the artist Juan Antonio, who is attracted to both Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson), while still married to his unstable ex-wife, played by Cruz. They first met while shooting Jamon Jamon in 1992, but the path of true love was a long one. They were married in 2010 and have two children together, Leo and Luna.
12/35 Liam Hemworth and Miley Cyrus – The Last Song (2010)
Hemsworth and Cyrus first fell in love while shooting the coming-of-age teen romance, which was directed by Nicholas Sparks. Cyrus played the rebellious teenager Ronnie who falls in love with Hemsworth's beach volleyball player Will. After a three-year, on-off relationship, they got engaged in 2012, but separated in 2013. Then, in 2016 they got back together again. Finally it all seemed rosy when they got married in 2018. However, this year they split up, and Cyrus is now dating musician Cody Simpson.
13/35 Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart – To Have and Have Not (1944)
When Bacall and Bogart met on the set of To Have and Have Not, she was 19 and he was 45, and with his third wife. But the on-set chemistry was instant. The sultry Bacall was making her film debut as Bogart's love interest – a role that catapulted her to stardom. The pair began a romantic relationship a few weeks into filming it and never looked back She continued to star with Bogart in The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947) and Key Largo (1948). They married in 1945 and stayed together until his death of esophageal cancer in 1957.
14/35 Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger – Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Apparently it was love at first sight for Ledger, who met Williams on set of the Oscar-winning film Brokeback Mountain. The central gay romance in the film was between Ledger's Ennis Del Mar and Jake Gyllenhaal's Jack Twist. But Williams played Ledger's character's long-time fiancée Alma Beers. In real-life, the couple, who split-up in 2007, had a child together. Ledger tragically died of an accidental overdose in 2008.

15/35 Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin – True Blood (2014)
It was also love at first sight for Moyer, who met Paquin during a screen test for the hit HBO vampire show. "By day three or four – oh, this is going to sound so syrupy – but I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her," said Moyer. "It was within seconds, really, and it just became a thing." They married in 2010 and had twins, Charlie and Poppy, in 2012.

16/35 Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams – The Notebook (2004)
As much a part of cinematic lore as Burton and Taylor, Gosling and McAdams initially got off to a rocky start when filming The Notebook – so much so that Gosling wanted to read an off-camera scene with a different actress. They managed to get through the film, and became one of Hollywood's favourite real-life couples for the next three years – until they split in 2007.
17/35 Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied – Black Swan (2010)
Portman fell in love with her French dancer husband on the set of the twisted Darren Aronofsky thriller Black Swan in 2009, which he choreographed and danced in. They got married two years later and have two children. Just after giving birth to her first child with him, she dedicated her Best Actress Oscar for the film to her "beautiful love, Benjamin, who has now given me my most important role in my life".
18/35 Kit Harington and Rose Leslie – Game of Thrones (2012)
Harrington and Leslie went from on-screen couple to real-life husband and wife. The former Game of Thrones co-stars reportedly fell in love on the set of the show's second season in 2012. Leslie played Ygritte, a wilding who falls in love with Harrington's character Jon Snow. Harrington said: "I met my wife in this show, so in that way it gave me my future family and my life from here on in." The couple were on-off until they got engaged in 2017 and married the following year in Scotland.
19/35 Helena Bonham Carter and Kenneth Branagh – Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)
Branagh allegedly had an affair with Bonham Carter while acting alongside her in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which he directed. Their union famously ended his six-year marriage to Emma Thompson. After Branagh's divorce from Thompson in 1995, the couple had a public romance until 1999.
20/35 Lauren Morelli and Samira Wiley – Orange is the New Black (2014)
Writer Samira Wiley and actor Lauren Morelli met on the set of Orange is the New Black in 2014, when they began dating. They were married in 2017.
21/35 Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell – Swing Shift (1984)
One of Hollywood's longest-standing couples – they have been together now for over 35 years – fell in love on the set of Swing Shift in 1984. Although they met in 1966 on set of a Disney movie, it was during the filming of this World War II romance film that Russell said to her, "Man, you've got a great figure." Not the most romantic of sentences, but it did the trick. The couple have vowed not to marry, but they have a son together, as well as Hawn's two children from her marriage to Bill Hudson. Hawn said: "I like waking up every day and seeing that he is there and knowing that I have a choice. There is really no reason to marry."
22/35 Clark Gable and Carole Lombard – Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1924)
While their first encounter was on the set of 1924's Ben Hur, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard weren't formally introduced until 1931. They married eight years later and tried to live a simple life, away from Hollywood, on a ranch in the San Fernando Valley. Tragically, Lombard was killed in a plane crash in 1942. Her faithful dachshund, Commissioner, didn't leave Gable's side after her death.

23/35 Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck – Daredevil (2003)
Love is complicated. Garner and Affleck met while filming 2003's Daredevil and shortly afterwards started dating publically in 2004 after Affleck had split from Jennifer Lopez. They had three children together and then, after rumours of Affleck's affair emerged, the couple split in 2015 and divorced in 2018. But apparently they still share a "special relationship"and enjoy co-parenting their kids.
24/35 Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev – The Vampire Diaries (2009)
Dobrev played Elena Gilbert, a young orphan who falls in love with vampire Damon Salvatore, played by Somerhalder, in the supernatural teen drama. Soon, rumours of a real-life romance between them surfaced, which excited fans greatly, and it was confirmed by the couple in 2011. Sadly, they split up in 2013. Bizarrely, considering the vampire theme, Somerhalder went on to marry Twilight actress Nikki Reed in 2015.
25/35 Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds – The Green Lantern (2011)
The now-married couple met while filming the superhero movie The Green Lantern in 2010. Reynolds was married at the time to Scarlett Johannson and Lively was dating her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley. They claimed not to have started dating until 2011, when Reynold's divorce to Johannson was finalised. They have just had their third child together.
26/35 Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan – Step Up (2006)
They were the golden couple after meeting on set of the dance movie Step Up in 2006, where sparks started flying as early as the audition. But after nearly nine years of marriage, they announced their split in 2018. Their joint statement said: "We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now."
27/35 Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel – The Apartment (1996)
The former Italian model turned actor who shot to fame in The Matrix Reloaded and The Passion of Christ met French actor Vincent Cassel on the set of Gilles Mimouni's film, The Apartment. Cassell plays a recently engaged man who sees a former girlfriend (played by Belluci), and becomes obsessed with meeting her again. The former couple had a 14-year marriage and two daughters, before announcing their divorce in 2013.
28/35 Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier – Fire Over England (1937)
One of the most legendary Hollywood love stories began when Laurence Olivier saw Vivien Leigh in the 1935 play The Mask of Virtue. Olivier stopped to congratulate the rising star, and the pair – both married at the time – took an immediate liking to one another. They began an affair, keeping it secret from the public, and eventually married in 1940 after receiving divorces from their previous partners. However, Leigh's developing mental illness and Olivier's rising stardom caused tension between the couple, and they divorced in 1960.
29/35 Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy – Evening (2006)
Claire Danes, who is best known for playing Carrie Mathison in Homeland, fell in love with English actor Hugh Dancy while filming the ensemble drama Evening in 2006. They got married three years later in France. In a 2014 interview, Danes said of her husband: "He is a gentleman. Downton Abbey-esque? I guess. He was raised well, went to great schools, he's a clever guy and he makes me giggle… I scored. I lucked out, big-time!"
30/35 Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow – Seven (1994)
These two actors began dating in 1994 after meeting each other on the set of David Fincher's Seven. Pitt played a detective who had recently moved to New York City with his wife Tracy (played by Paltrow) to track down a serial killer. Two years later, Pitt proposed to Paltrow, but their engagement was called off in 1997.
31/35 Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes – The Place Beyond the Pines (2011)
The famously private couple got together during filming for The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011, and have since had two children together.

32/35 Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman – Days of Thunder (1990)
The couple fell in love during the casting of Days of Thunder. Kidman said: "He basically swept me off my feet. I fell madly, passionately in love." They got married in 1990, adopted two children and then divorced in 2001. The reasons for the split are not clear but his commitment to Scientology may have been a factor, and Kidman has admitted that she felt as though she was living in his shadow.
33/35 Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield – The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
Emma Stone Andrew Garfield began dating on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and dated for four years. They remain good friends.
34/35 Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn – The Break-Up (2005)
After her divorce from Brad Pitt, Aniston started dating Vince Vaughn while they filmed The Break-Up together in 2005. Their own breakup happened a year later. She then met her future husband Justin Theroux while on set of Wanderlust in 2011. They married in 2015, but divorced last year.
35/35 Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender – The Light Between Oceans (2016)
Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander are staunchly private about their relationship. What we do know is that they met on the set of Derek Cianfrance's romantic drama, and Fassbender described their chemistry as "immediate" – "I said early on, 'This girl frightens me.' She's so fierce and brave... it kind of bowled me over." They married in a private ceremony in Spain in 2017, and now reside in Lisbon, Portugal.
"hey uhhhhh @MileyCyrus nice take you got on being gay there but if you could go ahead and NOT perpetrate the idea that all a lesbian needs is a good d**k to make her straight, that'd be GREAT" wrote one Twitter user.
"Miley Cyrus really said that girls don't have to be gay because there are plenty of 'd**ks who aren't d**ks' out there. Oh my god", said another.
"Miley, this is so not it. Women don't "have to be gay" because they "can't find a good person with a d**k". Don't use the queer community as a stop-gap because you couldn't find a boyfriend. People aren't queer because they "gave up" on men. This is so insulting."
"Miley just said 'you don't have to be gay, there are good d**ks out there' HELP", wrote another.
Miley Cyrus says she felt she had to be gay because 'guys are evil'
Cyrus' comments confused some fans, because of her previous comments about her own pansexuality.
In July, whilst in a relationship with Liam Hemsworth, Cyrus told Elle she was still "very sexually attracted to women.
"People become vegetarian for health reasons, but bacon is still f****** good," she said.
Others cited her commitment to LGBT youth and how her comments were a personal dig at herself:
"Yeah, she should've choose words more deeply. But don't hate her bcz of this, she has been putting a lot of energy and money for LGBTQ+, and has her own whole foundation to help homeless LGBTQ+, and openly talked about her sexuality."
One fan insisted she was just joking: "she was just kidding and you know this! please stop with this unsupportable complaining".
Another praised her freedom to speak her mind: "I love how Miley Cyrus is just so unapologetically herself".
"Can you not? She was poking fun at how people joke about her sexuality. Just because she's with a man doesn't change her sexuality which she has clearly said before. She's pan and very pro lgbt."
In 2014, Cyrus founded the Happy Hippie Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that works to support youth homelessness and the LGBT communities.
Cyrus has not yet responded to the criticism and is believed to be recovering from tonsillitis.

Bristol Rovers reserves are taking on Swindon Town in the Central League this afternoon at The Lawns near Cribbs Causeway.
The league creates fixtures for Rovers Reserves/Under-21's.
Today Rovers have named a strong squad to face the Robins as they prepare to take on Coventry City on Saturday.
Jermaine Easter features in the line up after an outing on Saturday against Chesterfield. Easter had been told earlier this year he was unlikely to feature in future squads.
Rovers most recently took on Cheltenham Town on March 7 and are currently in third position in the Southwest division.
They have had two wins over Peterborough United and Swindon so far this season.
Rovers next face Exeter City reserves on March 28 and then AFC Bournemouth reserves on April 11.
After that very windy, but successful afternoon for Rovers we are heading off. Thanks for following!
A decent win for Rovers in the end, with Spruce's goal sealing a 3-2 victory a few minutes before full time. Rovers battled well in blustery conditions with Ryan Broom standing out going forward.
Joe Partington was impressive in commanding the defence once Jonny Burn came off. Burn was taken off on the hour mark, which may suggest DC has one eye on using him on Saturday.
Rovers walk away with a well deserved win.
Rover re-take their earlier lead. Great run from Ryan Broom.Takes a shot but it's well saved. James Spruce secures 3-2 lead.
It is still 0-0 at The Lawns ..
Rovers playing some decent stuff so far.
The current scene - it very windy!

Scientists discover 'anxiety cells' in brain
Edited By Odishatv Bureau Published By IANS On Feb 6, 2018 - 3:21 AM
New York: A team of US neuroscientists has identified "anxiety cells" in the brains of mice, an advance that may boost the treatment of humans suffering from anxiety disorders.
The researchers found the cells inside a structure called the hippocampus, a region of the brain vital for learning and memory. But the cells probably exist in humans as well, said Rene Hen, Professor at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC).
These cells were found to fire when the animal is anxious, triggering anxiety-related behaviours.
"We call these anxiety cells because they only fire when the animals are in places that are innately frightening to them," Hen said.
"For a mouse, that's an open area where they're more exposed to predators, or an elevated platform," Hen added.
The firing of the anxiety cells sends messages to other parts of the brain that turn on anxious behaviours, in mice, those include avoiding the dangerous area or fleeing to a safe zone.
Though many other cells in the brain have been identified as playing a role in anxiety, the cells found in this study are the first known to represent the state of anxiety, regardless of the type of environment that provokes the emotion, the researchers said.
In the study, appearing in the journal Neuron, the team used a technique called optogenetics to control the activity of neurons using beams of light, the researchers found that the anxiety cells control anxiety behaviours.
When the cells were silenced, the mice stopped producing fear-related behaviours, wandering onto elevated platforms and away from protective walls.
When the anxiety cells were stimulated, the mice exhibited more fear behaviours even when they were in "safe" surroundings.
"This is exciting because it represents a direct, rapid pathway in the brain that lets animals respond to anxiety-provoking places without needing to go through higher-order brain regions," said Mazen Kheirbek, Assistant Professor at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
"Now that we have found these cells in the hippocampus, it opens up new areas for exploring treatment ideas that we didn't know existed before," said Jessica Jimenez, a doctoral student at CUMC.

Passwords are passe. At least that is what some experts said about having to enter, and remember, those annoying combinations of numbers and letters to access your accounts. Experts said the future of security, especially in banking, will be using biometrics to login.
Voice verification is how Erich Dye signs into his mobile banking app. Facial recognition is how his wife, Donna, logs on.
"It's my face, no one has my face. I like the fact that you have these extra steps and it keeps my account more secure," Donna explained.
The Dyes are using cutting-edge mobile banking security. They do not have to type a complicated password into a little hand held keypad. Instead, they rely on biometrics.
"There's the bio component, that's biology… and metrics, that's the measurement, so its using the measurement of our unique characteristics to distinguish one person from another," explained Todd Mozer, a biometrics expert with Sensory Inc.
Between voice activation, facial recognition and fingerprint verification experts say biometric banking is booming.
"I think they are the big thing that's going on right now and the future," said Mozer.
It is not only mobile banking that's using biometrics. At least one U.S. bank is now using voice verification when you call customer service. Experts predict biometrics will also be used one day in ATM's, online banking and other smart devices.
"They're better than what we have now. it's much more convenient to provide a physical trait that can't be impersonated easily such as your voice or your facial features." said Claes Bell with Bankrate.
Biometrics is growing so quickly an industry group called the FIDO Alliance, which stands for Fast Identity Online, formed to push dumping old-school text passwords in order to create standards for these new high-tech logins. While it may sound creepy to send your biometric information, FIDO calls for the user credentials never to leave the user's device.
"So it's actually on the device itself that way it's under your control and not off in the cloud somewhere that can be hacked into and taken away," said Mozer.
Erich and Donna are not creeped out by using their biometric info. They like the security of it, which they even tried to trick, by using a picture of Donna's face to login. The result: access denied.
"It's definitely cool. I like the security of it. I like the technology that's put into it," Erich said.
If you would like to see if your bank is going to offer biometric security features, check their website or give them a call.

Query Processing in DBMS
Twitter3FacebookLinkedInBufferRedditTumblr
There are four phases in a typical Query Processing in DBMS.
Parsing and Translation
This can also be represented in relational structures like tree and graphs as below:
Measures of Query cost
Influence of Indexes on Cost
Dense Index
Sparse Index
Secondary Index
Multi-level Index
Clustering Index
B+ Tree Index
Query Processing in DBMS – The main goal of creating a database is to store the related data at one place, access and manipulate them as and when it is required by the user. Accessing and manipulating the data should be done efficiently i.e.; it should be accessed easily and quickly.
But a database is a system and the users are either another system or application or a person. The user can request the data in a language that he understands. But DBMS has its own language (SQL) which it understands. Hence the users are asked to query the database in its language – SQL. This SQL is a high-level language created to build a bridge between users and DBMS for their communication. But the underlying systems in the DBMS will not understand SQL. There has to be some low-level language that these systems can understand. Usually, any query written in SQL is converted into low-level language using relational algebra which the system can understand. But it will be difficult for any user to directly write relational algebra kinds of queries. It requires thorough knowledge of it.
Hence what DBMS does is it ask its users to write queries in SQL. It verifies the code written by the user and then converts them into low-level languages. It then selects the best execution path and executes the query and gets the data from internal memory. All these processes are together known as query processing in DBMS.
It is the step-by-step process of breaking the high-level language into a low-level language in which the machine can understand and perform the requested action for the user. A query processor in DBMS performs this task.
The above diagram depicts how a query is processed in the database to show the result. When a query is submitted to the database, it is received by the query compiler. It then scans the query and divides it into individual tokens. Once the tokens are generated, they are verified for their correctness by the parser. Then the tokenized queries are transformed into different possible relational expressions, relational trees and relational graphs (Query Plans). The query optimizer then picks them to identify the best query plan to process. It checks in the system catalog for the constraints and indexes and decides the best query plan. It generates different execution plans for the query plan. The query execution plan then decides the best and optimized execution plan for execution. The command processor then uses this execution plan to retrieve the data from the database and returns the result. This is an overview of how query processing works. Let us see in detail below.
Query Optimization
Evaluation or query code generation
Execution in DB's runtime processor.
This is the first step of any query processing in DBMS. The user typically writes his requests in SQL language. In order to process and execute this request, DBMS has to convert it into low-level – machine understandable language. Any query issued to the database is first picked by the query processor. It scans and parses the query into individual tokens and examines for the correctness of the query. It checks for the validity of tables/views used and the syntax of the query. Once it is passed, then it converts each token into relational expressions, trees, and graphs. These are easily processed by the other parsers in the DBMS.
Let us try to understand these steps using an example. Suppose a user wants to see the student details who are studying in DESIGN_01 class. If the users say 'Retrieve Student details who are in DESIGN_01 class', the DBMS will not understand. Hence DBMS provides a language – SQL which both user and DBMS can understand and communicate with each other. This SQL is written in simple English-like form which both can understand. So the user would write his request in SQL as below:
SELECT STD_ID, STD_NAME, ADDRESS, DOB
FROM STUDENT s, CLASS c
WHERE s.CLASS_ID = c.CLASS_ID
AND c.CLASS_NAME = 'DESIGN_01';
When he issues this query, the DBMS reads and converts it into the form which DBMS can use to further process and synthesis it. This phase of query processing is known as the parsing and translation phase. The query processor scans the SQL query submitted and divides it into individual meaningful tokens. In our example, 'SELECT * FROM', 'STUDENT s', 'CLASS c', 'WHERE', 's.CLASS_ID = c.CLASS_ID', 'AND' and 'c.CLASS_NAME = 'DESIGN_01'' are the different tokens. These tokenized forms of the query are easily used by the processor to further processing. It fires query on the data dictionary tables to verify if the tables and columns in these tokens exist or not. If they are not present in the data dictionary, then the submitted query will be failed at this stage itself. Else it proceeds to find if the syntax used in the query are correct. Please note that it does not validate if DESIGN_01 exists in the table or not, it verifies if 'SELECT * FROM', 'WHERE', 's.CLASS_ID = c.CLASS_ID', 'AND' etc have SQL defined syntaxes. Once it validates the syntaxes, it converts them into relational algebra, relational tree, and graph representations. These are easily understood and handled by the optimizer for further processing. The above query can be converted into any of the two forms of relation algebra as below. The first query identifies the students in the DESIGN_01 class first and then selects only the requested columns from it. Another query first selects requested columns from the STUDENT table and then filters it for DESIGN_01. Both of their results in the same result.
∏ STD_ID, STD_NAME, ADDRESS, DOB (σ CLASS_NAME = 'DESIGN_01' (STUDENT ∞CLASS))
σ CLASS_NAME = 'DESIGN_01' (∏ STD_ID, STD_NAME, ADDRESS, DOB (STUDENT ∞CLASS))
Query processor then applies the rules and algorithms on these relational structures to represent more efficient and powerful structures that are used only by the DBMS. These structures are based on the mappings between the tables, joins used, cost of execution algorithm of these queries. It determines which structure – selecting and then projecting or projecting and then selecting – is the efficient way of processing when to apply filters etc. In the third step of query processing, the best structure and plan selected by the optimizer is selected and executed. It digs into the database memory to retrieve the records based on the plan. Sometimes it processes and compiles the query and keeps it in DB to use in the runtime DB processor. The result is then returned to the user. This is the overall step processed by the DBMS when simple to complex query is fired. The time taken by all these processes will be in a fraction of seconds. But ideal optimization and selection of execution path will make the query even faster
Structure of DBMS
Cost of query is the time taken by the query to hit the database and return the result. It involves query processing time i.e.; time taken to parse and translate the query, optimize it, evaluate, execute and return the result to the user is called cost of the query. Though it is in fraction of seconds, it includes multiple sub tasks and time taken by each of them. Executing the optimized query involves hitting the primary and secondary memory based on the file organization method. Depending on file organization and the indexes used, time taken to retrieve the data may vary.
Majority of time is spent by the query in accessing the data from the memory. It too has several factors determining the cost of access time – disk I/O time, CPU time, network access time etc. Disk access time is the time taken by the processor to search and find the record in the secondary memory and return the result. This takes the majority of time while processing a query. Other times can be ignored compared to disk I/O time.
While calculating the disk I/O time, usually only two factors are considered – seek time and transfer time. The seek time is the time taken the processor to find a single record in the disk memory and is represented by tS. For example, in order to find the student ID of a student 'John', the processor will fetch in the memory based on the index and the file organization method. The time taken by the processor to hit the disk block and search for his ID is called the seek time. The time taken by the disk to return fetched result back to the processor / user is called transfer time and is represented by tT.
Suppose a query need to seek S times to fetch a record and there is B blocks needs to be returned to the user. Then the disk I/O cost is calculated as below
(S* tS)+ (B* tT)
That is, it is the sum of the total time taken for seek S times and the total time taken to transfer B blocks. Here other costs like CPU cost, RAM cost etc are ignored as they are comparatively small. Disk I/O alone is considered as cost of a query. But we have to calculate the worst case cost – the maximum time taken by the query when there is a worst case like buffer is full or no buffers etc. because the memory space / buffers depend on the number of queries executing in parallel. All queries would be using the buffers and determining the number of buffers / blocks available for our query is unpredictable. The processor might have to wait till it gets all the memory blocks.
We have already seen indexes and index based file organization system. Hence we can now imagine how it will affect the query processing and how it will fasten the time of retrieval. They drastically shorten the query execution time. Let see different indexes and their roles in reducing the processing time.
In this type of indexes, index is created for each of the search key values and are sorted based on the search key. For example, if STD_ID is the search key, then we will have entry for each STD_ID in the index table. In such case we need not traverse through the files from beginning till we get the desired value. This index helps to directly fetch the record with single seek. Even if we want to search range of records, searching the initial record would suffice. Hence only single seek will have to be performed. Hence the cost can be calculated as:
Views in DBMS
tS+ (B* tT)
It is the total of time taken to transfer B blocks and single seek time of the query.
In this type of index, the search key values are grouped into multiple blocks and only the starting key value of the block is indexed. i.e.; if STD_ID is the search key, then its values are grouped of, say 10 records each (i.e.; 100, 110, 120, 130…) and only 100, 110, 120, 130 etc will have the index stored in the index table. Hence when we have to search for any record, we can get the block where the data is stored in a single seek, but we have to traverse linearly in the block till we get the requested record. i.e.; if we need to search STD_ID = 119, in a single seek we will get into the block of 110, but inside that block we have to traverse / seek 9 times to get 119. Hence we need 10 seeks in this case.
Suppose we have to search for range of records from 119 – 125, then we have to hit the index block 110 to fetch 119 and we have to hit 120 too to fetch records from 120 to 125. Hence the number of blocks accessed and transferred is 2.
Hence it is less efficient compared to dense index, but better than the linear search which searches from the beginning of a file (i.e.; number seeks are less compared to linear search). But it requires less space compared to dense index. Also we need not worry of storing the indexes for newly added records or updated records.
Architecture of Database
In this method primary key itself is the search key and indexes are stored for these primary key. It can be dense or sparse index. But since it is a primary key, records will be stored in a sorted form. Hence when we have to search for a key, we will get it in a single seek. Even if we have to search for a range of values, in single seek we would get the starting record of range. Then rest of the records is fetched sequentially from it. Hence the number of blocks to be searched is less.
Here the index is created on the keys other than search key. Hence we have to store each value of secondary index in the index table, making it dense. In this method searching a key value will be difficult and each record will be traversed to get the record.
in this method, search key values are grouped into two or more levels. i.e.; say initial level of index will contain search key values 100,200,300 etc , and each of which will point to secondary level where we will have search key value ranges like 100, 110,120…200,210,.. etc. these secondary level index can point to third level or directly to the records in the file. This will reduce the number of block reads as we saw in sparse indexes. It is usually helpful in the case of binary search.
Here two or more search key values are clustered together and it will point to the actual data in the file. It can be multi-leveled too. It will reduce the seek time as well as the number of blocks to be read.
In this method all the search key values are kept at equidistance from the root and all the search key values will be at the child node. Intermediary node will have only pointer to the actual search key node. The height of B+ tree is same for all the nodes. In this method, maximum seek required to search any key value is logarithmic and is log (h). But this is more compared to other indexes where we can even search records in single seek. Advantage of B+ tree is, it is sorted and balanced. We need not rearrange the records when there is insertion or deletion since it automatically does it. Hence it gives better performance in high performance required systems.

Kate Beckinsale Dishes on the Double Standard of Dating Younger Men
The actress also shares some hilariously refreshing marriage advice.
By	Jess Catcher	 May 11, 2020
On top of being one of the most gorgeous actresses in the industry, you can count on Kate Beckinsale to be upfront and honest about her life. That's why it comes as no surprise to hear she recently opened up about the double-standard she's faced for dating younger men.
You've probably seen Beckinsale, 46, featured in headlines over the past few years, all focused on the men in her life. She's been linked to comedian Pete Davidson, 26, and is currently reportedly dating musician Goody Grace, 22. In all cases, she's had to deal with backlash on social media, most notably in the comments of her Instagram page.
"If everyone's s***ting on you, it can make you feel kind of 'ugh' for a minute — especially if there's really nothing wrong," she explained to Women's Health. "Living one's life in a reasonably respectful manner shouldn't invite anyone to get too excited."
Even if she's not being photographed with one of her beaus, Beckinsale has been chastised for just getting out and having a good time. "It can feel like a little bit of a political act to be a woman over 32 who's having any fun at all," she said. "And by that, I don't mean doing drugs and drinking and partying — because I never am — but being goofy, going out, and not going, 'Oh my god, I'm going to sit home and anticipate menopause while crocheting.' Unless you're doing that, it somehow seems to be risqué, which is just ridiculous to me."
Beckinsale makes a good point, especially when she compares the level of criticism she receives to that of her male counterparts. "I witness men constantly doing whatever they like," she observed. "Whether that's in relationships, or deciding to buy a motorbike, or getting a tattoo. It hasn't been interpreted as 'Why hasn't he had more children?' or 'Is he ever going to decide to become a parent? or 'Why has he had so many girlfriends?'"
It's hard to argue with her. In fact, we bet you can think of at least 10 male celebrities right off the top of your head who have dated younger women and gone out partying well into their golden years without most people so much as blinking an eye!
We're glad to know Beckinsale isn't letting anyone's opinions of her change the way she chooses to live her life — and hope that it inspires more women to feel just as free to do the same. She also offered a hilariously refreshing marriage tip: "I think more people would do well married if they didn't have to live in the same house. Being married is kind of easy, but the living-with-the-person thing is a lot." Probably not the easiest advice to actually follow for most married couples, but we can certainly see the logic behind it.
You can follow Beckinsale on Instagram for more of her delightfully honest outlook on the world (or just enjoy the silly videos she frequently shares of her pets).

NEW STUDY: Global Warming "Pause" Confirmed, Climate Models Wrong
Posted: October 4, 2017 | Author: Jamie Spry | Filed under: Carbon Dioxide, Empirical Evidence, Failed Climate Models, Global Temperature, Global Warming Stasis, The Pause | Tags: "The Pause", Climate Change, Climate science, Global Temperature, Global Warming, Global Warming "Pause", Global Warming Hiatus, Hiatus, science, warming pause | 2 Comments
FOLLOWING on from the landmark paper by warmist scientists in Nature Geoscience that concedes the world has not warmed as predicted this century, comes a new paper from Scafetta et al, confirming that the global warming "pause" or "hiatus" indeed lives on!
via GWPF :
The period from 2000 to 2016 shows a modest warming trend that the advocates of the anthropogenic global warming theory have labeled as the "pause" or "hiatus." These labels were chosen to indicate that the observed temperature standstill period results from an unforced internal fluctuation of the climate (e.g. by heat uptake of the deep ocean) that the computer climate models are claimed to occasionally reproduce without contradicting the anthropogenic global warming theory (AGWT) paradigm. In part 1 of this work, it was shown that the statistical analysis rejects such labels with a 95% confidence because the standstill period has lasted more than the 15 year period limit provided by the AGWT advocates themselves. Anyhow, the strong warming peak observed in 2015-2016, the "hottest year on record," gave the impression that the temperature standstill stopped in 2014. Herein, the authors show that such a temperature peak is unrelated to anthropogenic forcing: it simply emerged from the natural fast fluctuations of the climate associated to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. By removing the ENSO signature, the authors show that the temperature trend from 2000 to 2016 clearly diverges from the general circulation model (GCM) simulations. Thus, the GCMs models used to support the AGWT are very likely flawed. By contrast, the semi-empirical climate models proposed in 2011 and 2013 by Scafetta, which are based on a specific set of natural climatic oscillations believed to be astronomically induced plus a significantly reduced anthropogenic contribution, agree far better with the latest observations.
As explained in part 1 of this study [1], in the last decade future climate scenarios have been used to develop and politically enforce energy expensive policies to contrast catastrophic climate warming expectations for the 21st century. This has been done mostly by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [2, 3, 4]. Several studies based on general circulation model (GCM) simulations of the Earth's climate concluded that the 20th century climate warming and its future development depend almost completely on anthropogenic activities. Humans have been responsible of emitting in the atmosphere large amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) such as CO2 throughout the combustion of fossil fuels. This paradigm is known as the Anthropogenic Global Warming Theory (AGWT).
However, before trusting GCM projections about future climatic changes, it is necessary to validate these models by testing whether they are able to properly reconstruct past climate changes. In Ref. [1], the authors have argued that since 2001 AGWT was actually supported by the belief that the "hockey stick" proxy temperature reconstructions, which claim that an unprecedented warming occurred since 1900 in the Northern Hemisphere, were reliable [2,5] and could be considered an indirect validation of the available climate models supporting the AGWT [6]. However, since 2005 novel proxy temperature reconstructions questioned the reliability of such hockey stick trends by demonstrating the existence of a large millennial climatic oscillation [7-10]. This natural climatic variability is confirmed by historical inferences [11] and by climate proxy reconstructions spanning the entire Holocene [12, 13]. A millennial climatic oscillation would suggest that a significant percentage of the warming observed since 1850 could simply be a recovery from the Little Ice Age of the 14th – 18th centuries and that throughout the 20th century the climate naturally returned to a warm phase as it happened during the Roman and the Medieval warm periods [9, 11, 14- 16].
To test the reliability of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) GCMs, in Ref. [1] it was shown that for the period 1860-2016 they predict an excessive warming relative to four independent global surface temperature reconstructions. This was a first significant discrepancy between observations and models. Then, it was noted that AGWT advocates had claimed that discrepancies between observation and modeled predictions could occur because of an unforced internal variability of the climate system that the same GCMs are able to predict [17].
These people were very explicit by providing the following scientific criterion to validate the models: "The simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 year or more, suggesting that an observed absence of warming of this duration is needed to create a discrepancy with the expected present-day warming rate" [18].
By using such a 15-year interval criterion, in Ref. [1] we tested the CMIP5 GCMs against the observations in the periods 1922-1941, 1980-1999 and 200-2016. The first two periods were selected because they are characterized by a strong and compatible warming rate but by very different rate of anthropogenic GHG emissions. On the contrary, the 2000- 2017 period is characterized by a very strong increase of anthropogenic GHG emissions while the temperature has been quasi stationary. Our statistical analysis [1] confirmed with a 95% confidence that the GCMs fail to properly reconstruct the temperature trends in 1922-1941 and in 2000-2017. Thus, according to the very criterion proposed by the AGWT advocates themselves, the GCMs used to support the AGWT are demonstrated to be flawed.
Herein, a detailed study of the natural climatic variability observed after 2000 in six available global temperature records versus the performance of the GCMs is carried out. We also critically analyze the year 2015-2016, which has been famed as the hottest year on record. We show that this anomaly is simply due to a strong El-Niño event that has induced a sudden increase of the global surface temperature by 0.6 oC. This event is unrelated to anthropogenic emissions. In fact, an even stronger El-Niño event occurred in 1878 when the sudden increase of the global surface temperature was 0.8 oC: see Figure 2 in Ref. [1]. Finally, for the post 2000 period we compare the predictions of the CMIP5 GCMs used by the IPCC [2013], against that of two semi-empirical models proposed a few years ago [15,19].
These models were based on a specific number of natural oscillations suggested by astronomical considerations plus an anthropogenic warming effect strongly reduced by 50% relative to the GCM predictions. We stress that the latter result is consistent with recent scientific literature findings [20] confirming that the real climate sensitivity to CO2 doubling is about half, that is between 1 oC and 2 oC, than what predicted by the GCMs supporting the AGWT, which is about 3 oC [4].

COUNTY CELEBRATES AS BOULDER OAKS RANCH BECOMES PERMANENT OPEN SPACE PRESERVE
RAMONA - San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob is pleased to announce the acquisition of Boulder Oaks Ranch, a 1,215-acre swath of diverse habitat located six miles south of Ramona off Mussey Grade Road.
The land is a species-rich patchwork of coastal sage, grasslands, and oak woodlands. It is home to mule deer, ring-tailed cats, golden eagles and the endangered California gnatcatcher, and will be preserved as permanent open space.
"This exciting acquisition will protect our natural resources, limit urban sprawl and truly enhance our quality of life," said Supervisor Dianne Jacob who represents the people of the Second District on the County Board of Supervisors.
The acquisition brings the County's ambitious habitat preservation plan- the award-winning Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP)- closer to its overall goal of setting aside 100,000 acres of meaningful open space for future generations.
"The MSCP has allowed us to strike that delicate balance between land preservation and the rights of property owners," said Jacob, who co-sponsored the County's MSCP in 1997. "Acquisitions like Boulder Oaks Ranch preserve our region's rare plants and animals while respecting responsible and sensible growth," Jacob said.
Last year, the MSCP was honored by the National Association of Counties as a model open space program for other jurisdictions to emulate.
The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) in collaboration with the California Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) acquired Boulder Oaks Ranch in support of the MSCP. The total cost of the acquisition was $4,410,000 and was funded seventy-five percent by the WCB and twenty-five percent by County MSCP dollars.
The DPR is currently developing a management plan for the Boulder Oaks Ranch facility.

Tracy advocates for ethics reforms, says more work and collaboration is needed (with radio interview)
SPRINGFIELD – The Senate Ethics Committee met for the first time April 21 — nearly four months since the start of the new General Assembly — to hear testimony on a bill that seeks to reform legislative ethics laws in Illinois.
State Sen. Jil Tracy (R-Quincy) says that while Senate Bill 4 includes several good ideas, it still leaves out many others, and greater input should be coming from both sides of the aisle.
"Senate Republicans have filed several ethics bills that have not even been given a hearing. In fact, today's ethics hearing was the only one scheduled within the first four months of the General Assembly," said Sen. Tracy. "What kind of message does that send to the public, especially when a cloud of scandal continues to linger over the Dome? While I appreciate the efforts put into Senate Bill 4, this is only a start. Going forward, I hope that discussions become more inclusive of ideas so that we can present a final package that roots out corruption and begins to restore public trust."
Sen. Tracy also noted the extremely short notice for the 9:00 a.m. Senate Ethics Committee Meeting, which meant that many people, including the media, were not able to plan to attend the meeting. "Is this bill going to be pushed all the way through to the finish line, just a matter of hours after it was first discussed publicly? We saw similar tactics during the lame-duck session earlier this year, with disastrous results," she said.
https://senatorjiltracy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Tracy-Ethics-Reform.mp4
The 47th District Senator has introduced three ethics reform bills this year, none of which have been given a hearing.
Senate Bill 550 would prohibit a member of the General Assembly from lobbying local governments or the state's Executive Branch for compensation. The legislation also prohibits lawmakers' spouses and immediate family members from lobbying for compensation at any level of government. An exception is allowed for lobbying as part of the member's official duties as a member of the General Assembly.
Senate Bill 551 would require more information to be disclosed in the Quarterly Reports filed by the Legislative Inspector General. The reports will be required to include the total number of founded reports (currently complaints) forwarded to the Attorney General.
Senate Bill 549 prohibits a General Assembly member to negotiate for employment with a lobbying entity while in office. It also provides a "revolving door" prohibition on former members of the General Assembly lobbying the General Assembly within one year of leaving office.
Sen. Tracy credits Senate Bill 4 for starting the conversation on ethics reforms, but says much more can be done.
"The good news is that we are finally talking about ethics reforms, but the reforms should be stronger, and can be better with the input of all lawmakers," Tracy said. "Ethics reform should not be a partisan issue. We have a common goal of improving the system to better serve Illinoisans. We share many of the same ideas for reform, and we all need to be working together to pass real ethics reforms."

Hong Kong airport protesters retreat, but city in turmoil
Flights art Hong Kong's airport were operating largely on schedule following two days of rallies that paralysed the global travel hub
Hong Kong (AFP) - Pro-democracy protesters retreated from Hong Kong's airport on Wednesday following two days of hugely disruptive rallies that turned violent and plunged the global financial hub further into turmoil.
The protests ended early Wednesday morning following a series of clashes in which a policeman drew his gun after being beaten by demonstrators and other officers fired pepper spray.
The rallies paralysed one of the world's busiest travel hubs, deepening a 10-week crisis that is the biggest challenge to Chinese rule of Hong Kong since its 1997 British handover.
US President Donald Trump added to fears Beijing may be prepared to stage a military intervention to end the unrest, saying on Tuesday his intelligence had confirmed Chinese troop movements toward the Hong Kong border.
After initially just voicing their demands with peaceful demonstrations, the protesters adopted more aggressive tactics
The people power movement, which has seen millions take to Hong Kong's streets, was sparked by opposition to a planned law that would have allowed extraditions to mainland China.
It quickly evolved into a much broader campaign for democratic freedoms, and to stop the growing influence of China's authoritarian rulers in the semi-autonomous city.
- Suspicion, violence -
On Monday and Tuesday, thousands of protesters wearing their signature black T-shirts gathered at Hong Kong's airport, forcing hundreds of flights to be cancelled.

After initially just voicing their demands with peaceful demonstrations, the protesters adopted more aggressive tactics on Tuesday and created barricades with luggage trolleys to block passengers at the departure halls.
Late on Tuesday night, the protests descended into a series of violent confrontations with police, and demonstrators scuffling with passengers desperate to get on flights.
In one particularly ugly scene, a group of protesters ganged up on a policeman and beat him. They stopped their attack when the policeman pulled his gun and pointed it at them, but did not fire.
Demonstrators also turned on two men, fuelled by suspicions within their ranks about undercover police or spies.

The first man was held for about two hours and assaulted before eventually being led away in an ambulance. Riot police briefly deployed pepper spray and batons to beat back protesters while they escorted the vehicle away from the departures hall.
Another man, wearing a yellow journalist vest, was surrounded, zip-tied and then beaten by a small group who accused him of being a spy.
In a tweet, Hu Xijun, the editor of China's state-controlled Global Times tabloid – which has vociferously condemned the protests – said the man was working for the paper.
By early Wednesday, most protesters had left and many flights were operating as scheduled in the morning.
However, it was unclear if the protesters, who have no public leaders and organise via social media, would return to the airport.
"The airport is our last bargaining chip," one of a handful of protesters who remained at the airport on Wednesday morning told AFP.

Michael, a 25-year-old tourist from Dubai, got to the airport on Wednesday more than 12 hours ahead of his flight home in a bid to avoid potential protests later in the day.
"I can feel like they are really fighting for my freedom, so my heart goes to them in a way," he said of the protesters.
But he said they were now targeting the wrong people.
"The passengers have nothing to do with what's happening, they mostly are tourists," he told AFP.
- The 'abyss' -
On Tuesday morning, the city's leader, Carrie Lam, gave an at-times emotional press conference in which she warned of dangerous consequences if escalating violence was not curbed and said the hub was being "pushed into an abyss."
But she once again refused to make any concessions to the protesters.

The Chinese government has repeatedly signalled the protesters are reaching the limits of the "one country, two systems" legal framework that gives Hong Kong its autonomy.
Authorities in Beijing on Monday described some of the violence as "terrorism", and state-run media this week began promoting videos showing security forces gathering in Shenzhen just across the border from Hong Kong.
Trump on Tuesday said his intelligence had confirmed Chinese troops were gathering across the border.
"I hope it works out for everybody including China. I hope it works out peacefully, nobody gets hurt, nobody gets killed," he said.
The United Nations' human rights chief on Tuesday voiced concern over force used against protesters and called for an impartial probe.
However, Trump has said little to support Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement, drawing criticism from both sides of the American political spectrum.
"Trump favours both sides in Hong Kong protests. Hardly a profile in courage," said Nicholas Burns, a former senior US diplomat now at the Harvard University Kennedy School.


Cast your mind back to December of 2017 and you may remember an interview with Simon Kinberg where the writer-director spoke candidly about the failings of X-Men: Apocalypse. Bryan Singer's mutant misfire struggled to leave much of a mark on critics or at the box office and Kinberg vowed to make amends for that with Dark Phoenix, the 2019 prequel based loosely on Chris Claremont's legendary comic book.
And yes, despite rumors to the contrary, it's still on course for a release in February of 2019 – the same space once occupied by Black Panther, no less. That's not too far away now, either, so it's a bit surprising that we still haven't really seen much from the film yet. Aside from a few photos – and, of course, some set pics – there hasn't been a whole lot for fans to feast on. Presumably, though, that'll soon change.
We already know that Fox showed off a trailer overseas the other week and word on the street is that the footage will make its way stateside next month. But if you just can't wait that long, you're in luck, as the preview has now leaked online. There's two different embeds of it below, in case one goes down, and though it's blurry and obstructed, this is the best you're going to get until the studio makes an official version available.
So, what can we tell from this footage? Well, not a whole lot, unfortunately. There's no sound, for one, and the fact that most of the view is obstructed means we only get brief glimpses of what's going on on screen. Still, the fact that Fox is parading around a trailer means that it can't be long before we get something official and once that happens, we'll be sure to let you know.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is currently undergoing extensive reshoots, which allegedly cost an additional $10 million, and will finally make its way into theaters on February 14th, 2019. At least, we hope that's the case. Given how things have been progressing, though, we wouldn't be surprised if it was hit with another delay.


From toilet jokes delivered deadpan to well-researched musings on physics, his intelligence, thoughtfulness and sardonic sense of humour keep those around him engaged, amused and at times offended—which as an artist, is not a bad thing.
A change in medium came with a creative perspective shift. "At the beginning, ego kept me going, kept me interested. After a while, I felt like I had something to prove. And then something shifted a while ago where I started doing the oil pastel drawings, something in the process made me realize that I'm not a show pony, that this is something that's actually important. With street art there's so much clamouring to fame, people want to get up and be noticed, that's part of the whole ethic. And after a while, that gets kind of dry.

As your pregnancy progresses, you might find sleeping more difficult. Your larger size makes it harder to get comfortable or you might wake up with unexplained twinges or spasms. Your sleeping position affects both you and your baby's health. While sleeping at a strange angle one night is unlikely to cause any health problems for your baby, prolonged sleeping on your front or right side can increase your risk of miscarriage.
Most doctors recommend sleeping on your left side when you're pregnant. Lying on your back cuts off blood supply by compressing the inferior vena cava. Strong circulation and blood supply help in the development of your fetus in the womb. While sleeping on your right side is unlikely to directly affect the baby, it can put added pressure on the liver. (See Ref 3) Any sleep positions that could cause you some harm or discomfort to you could eventually result in problems for the baby.
A June 2011 study published in the British Medical Journal found a small link between sleeping position and stillborn babies. Women who slept on their backs or on their right side had double the risk of having a stillborn child compared with women who slept on their left sides. However, the risks are still small -- at around four instances in every 1,000 people. Researchers also recommend further studies and don't claim this as conclusive proof. Nonetheless, the study backs up the medical suggestions to sleep on your left side wherever possible.
After the first trimester, you'll find it difficult to sleep on your stomach. Not only is it uncomfortable, it might be physically impossible as the weeks progress. As of July 2011, no scientific studies confirm the danger of sleeping on your front when pregnant. If you somehow manage to stay on your front, then you could risk damaging your child by putting additional pressure on her inside the womb. In serious cases, this could cause developmental problems or even miscarriage. However, this is rare as you're so unlikely to end up on your front.
If you struggle to get comfortable on your left side, try slipping a firm pillow between your knees. As well as improving blood flow, this position helps with kidney function and reducing swelling, according to the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. You'll find that during the latter stages of pregnancy, sleeping on your back puts too much pressure on your spine and stomach so you'll naturally want to sleep on your side.
