Crusaders took on Coleaine in front of the Sky Sports cameras in a huge NIFL Premiership showdown on Monday night.
The top two teams from last season battled it out in front of a worldwide audience at Seaview.
The Crues finished just two points ahead of the Bannsiders en route to claiming the Gibson Cup last term.
Such fine margins meant both teams were hoping to earn what could be a massive win as far as this season's title race is concerned.
Check out our live blog from last night.
A night when champions Crusaders were humbled in their own back yard.
And a night when Coleraine flexed their title muscle.
Big result for Coleraine who claim a 3-0 win against the champions at Seaview.
Goals from Josh Carson and Jamie McGonigle (2) sealed a comfortable win.
Crues were very poor, but take nothing away from the visitors who go top of the NIFL Premiership.
Ian Parkhill on for Jamie McGonigle.
Great game from McGonigle with two clinical goals.
We are into added time at Seaview.
Coleraine have looked comfortable tonight.
Composed performance and they have taken their chances when offered up by a error-prone Crusaders defence.
Early days of the season but this already looking like a big performance - and result.
Both Colin Coates and Eoin Bradley booked for a heated exchange.
Eoin Bradley fires one just over for Coleraine.
Paul Heatley gets a yellow card for a rash tackle on Josh Carson in front of the dugouts.
Poor challenge from the Crues man.
It has been a night to forget for Crusaders.
Defensive errors and a disjointed performance have contributed to their downfall tonight.
And Coleraine have punished them.
McGonigle bags his second of the night with a superb finish.
Crusaders fail to clear a Coleraine corner, the ball falls to McGonigle outside the box, he escapes the attention of Rory Patterson and guides a super low shot into the bottom corner.
Sean O'Neill didn't even move.
David Cushley on for Michael Carvill.
Rory Patterson on for Declan Caddell.
Jordan Owens heads one wide when he should have scored.
Jamie McGonigle fires home into the bottom corner after Crusaders defender Sean Ward slipped.
Another big goal for the Bannsiders who now lead 2-0.
Coleraine keeper Chris Johns does well to get down to his left to deny Billy Joe Burns.
Burns' shot was creeping in at the near post.
Crusaders on the attack, ball is fed to Heatley down the right channel. He dummies a cross and then gets caught in two minds whether to cross or shoot.
He does a combination of both as the ball drifts tamely behind.
Darren McCauley blazes one over the bar in the 58th minute after a great counter attack from Coleraine.
Eoin Bradley out-foxed Colin Coates down the right, squared the ball into the middle and McCauley's first-time shot went high.
From the resulting free-kick Heatley delivers a curling ball to Howard Beverland but his header goes straight into Chris Johns' arms.
Coleraine defender Gareth McConaghie pulls back Paul Heatley and gets a yellow card.
Can have no complaints with that one.
Matthew Snoddy tries his luck from distance.
Chris Johns tries to parry it over the bar but the ball squirms just over the woodwork.
Wasn't convincing from the shot-stopper.
Jordan Forsythe shows some sublime skill to dummy his shot, drag the ball onto his left foot and then strike a volley that just rises high and wide of the Coleraine goal.
More streamers are cleared away from the goalmouth - Coleraine's, this time.
Now we are ready for the second half to begin.
A feisty affair at Seaview sees Coleraine go into the break with a 1-0 lead.
Josh Carson with the goal in the 11th minute.
A long throw is headed on by Owens and Heatley's shot is deflected behind.
There will be one minute of additional time at the end of the first half.
Referee Arnold Hunter can't get out of the way of Jamie McGonigle's shot as it rebounds off the match official.
Almost set up the Crues for a counter attack.


The new year is already shaping up to be a momentous one for education organizing in St Paul. In the past month St Paul has seen a charter school vote to unionize and the executive board of the St Paul Federation of Teachers (SPFT) call for a vote to strike. Classroom Struggle hopes to have longer articles on each of these developments up soon so stay tuned, but we keep you informed with these two brief newsflashes.
On January 14th the Twin Cities German Immersion School became Minnesota's only unionized charter when 80% of the school's 25 teachers voted to unionize. Charter school teachers often have to contend with less job security and worse pay and working conditions than unionized public school employees. Teachers at the German Immersion school are hopeful that unionization will bring greater job security, (they currently have at will contracts) as well as improved working conditions for teachers and students.
This is a huge step for the future of education in the Twin Cities. If charter schools are held to the same labor standards as other schools it will unhook them from the union busting role they are serving for so called "reformers". Having rights like job security also allows teachers to more meaningfully build with students and parents, while being in a union could open doors for collaboration and bottom-up reforms. Improving conditions in charter schools will also surely reduce their higher than typical staff turnover, a benefit for the students and communities they serve. Given the density of unionized teachers in education we surely have the power to create common industrial standards that improve our schools for our kids.
The mood was somber but resolved at the SPFT meeting on Monday when executive board members voted unanimously to call for a vote to strike. Teachers spoke to the fact that the expectations and results that teachers are expected to achieve in the classroom have increased exponentially in the past few years while supports and resources like counselors and social workers have disappeared. Many teachers voiced their frustration at district administration statements that issues such as class size, staffing, curriculum and access to pre-K are managerial decisions that the union doesn't have the authority to be involved in, while teachers, students and parents are directly affected by these decisions each day. There was a strong sense in the room that collective action must be taken by St Paul staff to fight for the learning conditions and outcomes that St Paul students, family and staff deserve.
Building with parents, students, and communities and including their demands in contract negotiations is a lesson worth learning from, and we hope educators around the Twin Cities, and country, take notice. Creating common frameworks for the changes our schools needs moves us a step closer towards creating the student, parent, educator mass movement needed to transform them into powerful bases for creating a just, anti-racist, and free society.

The Monroe County Court administrative offices are located at 301 North College Avenue, Bloomington, IN 47404; phone: 812-349-2614.
The territory that would become Monroe County was on the boundary between the land of the Delawares and that of the Piankeshaws and Pecankeeshaws, so that it was the home and hunting ground of these three tribes as well as of the Miamis.
The territory was not obtained from the Indians wholly at one time from various treaties, and the county was organized before the last treaty was signed. In the southern portion, William Harris and Arthur Henrie surveyed the county lands in the autumn of 1812. In the north a survey was done by Thomas Brown and J. Hedges in 1819.
The legislature approved the county in 1818. A courthouse was established at the home of Adam Blair, and Bloomington was laid out to serve as the county seat, and a log courthouse was quickly built there. The first meeting of the Commissioners of Monroe County was held in April, 1818. The Commissioners were Bartlett Woodward, Michael Buskirk and James Parks.

Black Men And Public Space By Brent Staples Essay
Brent Staples' piece "Black Men and Public Space" first published in 1986 in a liberal feminist magazine "Ms." An African American, Staples was often the victim of racial prejudice throughout his young-adulthood. The publication, mostly directed toward white, feminist, affluent women, was supposed to send a message about racial prejudice and empathy. Staples develops his purpose, that people should be empathetic toward African Americans, through self-blaming tone, imagery, and ethical appeal.
First, Staples uses a self-blaming tone to help his purpose. The piece opens with "My first victim was a white woman, well dressed, probably in her early twenties" (1). He goes on to say that he had his hands in his pockets, and was giving a comfortable distance between himself and the woman, but yet she still perceived him as an attacker. By using this abrasive diction, Staples is making himself seem like a criminal, even though he was not doing anything illegal or hostile. Next, the author discusses how when he moved away from his hometown, he became more knowledgeable about the language of fear. He would cross in front of cars and hear doors lock, or people would cross the street to avoid passing him on the sidewalk. He also says "Then there were the standard unpleasantries with policemen, doormen, and cabdrivers, and others whose business it was to screen out troublesome individuals before there is any nastiness" (3). Through the use of this phrase, Staples is making himself the victim, appealing to again the audience 's emotions. Similarly, when the author is talking about his background, Staples says: "It was in the echo of that terrified woman 's footfalls, that I first began to know the unwieldy inheritance I 'd come into- the abilit...
...rglar or being threatening. Lastly, Staples uses the anecdote of a time when he was trying to kill time before work and found himself in a scary situation. "I entered a jewelry store on a city's affluent Near North Side. The proprietor excused herself and returned with an enormous red Doberman Pinscher straining at the end of a leash. She stood, the dog extended toward me, silent to my questions, her eyes bulging nearly out her head." This example illustrates the terror the author felt at being confronted, which then in turn makes the audience feel his fear as well.
In conclusion, Staples' "Black Men and Public Space" was written in a time where even after civil rights legislation had been passed, there was still racial prejudice. His purpose, that people should be more empathetic toward African Americans is assisted by pathetic appeals, imagery, and ethos appeals.

DMARDs (Disease-Modifying Anti Rheumatic Drugs); Types
Home / Drugs A-Z /
DMARDs (Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs ) is a category of otherwise unrelated drugs defined by their use in rheumatoid arthritis to slow down disease progression. The term is often used in contrast to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (which refers to agents that treat the inflammation but not the underlying cause) and steroids (which blunt the immune response but are insufficient to slow down the progression of the disease).
The term "antirheumatic" can be used in similar contexts, but without making a claim about an effect on the course. Other terms that have historically been used to refer to the same group of drugs are "remission-inducing drugs" (RIDs) and "slow-acting anti-rheumatic drugs" (SAARDs).
Types of DMARDs
DMARDs have been classified as
Synthetic (sDMARD)
Conventional synthetic and targeted synthetic DMARDs (csDMARDs and tsDMARDs, respectively)
csDMARDs are the traditional drugs (such as methotrexate, sulfasalazine, leflunomide, hydroxychloroquine, gold salts)
tsDMARDs are drugs that were developed to target a particular molecular structureB
Biological (bDMARD)
These can be further separated into original and biosimilar DMARDs (boDMARDs and bsDMARDs)
bsDMARDs are those that have the same primary, secondary and tertiary structure as an original (boDMARD) and possess similar efficacy and safety as the original protein
abatacept T-cell costimulatory signal inhibitor bDMARD
adalimumab TNF inhibitor bDMARD
anakinra IL-1 receptor antagonist bDMARD
azathioprine Purine synthesis inhibitor unknown
chloroquine (anti-malarial) Suppression of IL-1, induce apoptosis of inflammatory cells and decrease chemotaxis unknown
ciclosporin (Cyclosporin A) calcineurin inhibitor unknown
D-penicillamine (seldom used today) Reducing numbers of T-lymphocytes etc. unknown
etanercept decoy TNF receptor bDMARD
golimumab TNF inhibitor bDMARD
gold salts (sodium aurothiomalate, auranofin) (seldom used today) unknown csDMARD
hydroxychloroquine (anti-malarial) TNF-alpha, induce apoptosis of inflammatory cells and decrease chemotaxis csDMARD
infliximab TNF inhibitor bDMARD
leflunomide Pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor csDMARD
methotrexate (MTX) Purine metabolism inhibitor csDMARD
minocycline 5-LO inhibitor unknown
rituximab chimeric monoclonal antibody against CD20 on B-cell surface bDMARD
sulfasalazine (SSZ) Suppression of IL-1 & TNF-alpha, induce apoptosis of inflammatory cells and increase chemotactic factors csDMARD
tocilizumab IL-6 receptor antagonist bDMARD
tofacitinib kinase inhibitor tsDMARD

Traditional DMARDs
Azathioprine (Azasan, Imuran, generic): Comes in tablet only; used most commonly in lupus. This drug depends on a specific enzyme to work and some people lack enough of this enzyme to make the drug effective. Your doctor will test your levels before prescribing azathioprine.
Cyclophosphamide (generic only): Comes in capsule, tablet or infusion. Can be used in lupus in patients who do not respond to traditional therapy or who experience kidney damage.
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Gengraf, Sandimmune, generic): Comes in capsule or syrup. This medicine is used sometimes for lupus in people who do not respond to other therapies.
Hydroxychloroquine sulfate (Plaquenil, generic): Comes in tablet only. Antimalarial drugs are commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and can help improve the skin lesions of lupus, and can hold off disease recurrence and prevent organ damage. Serious side effects for antimalarial drugs are rare.
Leflunomide (Arava, generic): Comes as a pill taken once a day. People who cannot tolerate methotrexate may take leflunomide. It can also be taken in combination with methotrexate.
Methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall, Otrexup, Rasuvo, generic): This drug is taken once a week and comes in tablet or as a self-injectable. It is for adults with active RA and children with active juvenile idiopathic arthritis with more than one affected joint.
Mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept, generic): Comes in tablet, capsule and as a self-injectable. This drug may be used in people whose RA does not respond to other therapies.
Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine, Sulfazine, generic): Comes in regular or extended-release tablets. This drug is most commonly used in a triple therapy combination for RA (methotrexate, sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine).

Mechanism of Action of DMARDs
The class of DMARDs is extensive, and traditional DMARDs act via various mechanisms. They interfere in combinations of critical pathways in the inflammatory cascade. Methotrexate, for example, stimulates adenosine release from fibroblasts, reduces neutrophil adhesion, inhibits leukotriene B4 synthesis by neutrophils, inhibits local IL-1 production, reduces levels of IL-6 and IL-8, suppresses cell-mediated immunity, and inhibits synovial collagenase gene expression. Other medications in this class serve to inhibit proliferation or cause dysfunction of lymphocytes.
Biologics, on the other hand, are very selective in their mechanism of action. The overarching functional of biologics include (1) interfering with cytokine function or production, (2) inhibiting the "second signal" required for T-cell activation, and (3) depleting B-cells or inhibiting factors that active B-cells (rituximab and belimumab). Tofacitinib is a small molecule inhibitor of JAK, a protein tyrosine kinase involved in mediating cytokine signaling.
Contraindications of DMARDs
DMARDs are not to be taken by patients who have an active infection, those with preexisting bone marrow hypoplasia, leukopenia, chronic liver disease, or immunodeficiency syndromes. Methotrexate is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Most DMARDs which cause myelosuppression and hepatotoxicity can be monitored with a complete blood count (CBC) and liver function tests every 2 weeks to monthly.
Those that cause macular damage (hydroxychloroquine) should be monitored with funduscopic exams twice yearly.
Cyclophosphamide, which can cause hemorrhagic cystitis and bladder cancer, can be monitored with a CBC and urinalysis every 2 weeks.
Cyclosporine and FK506 (tacrolimus) can cause renal insufficiency, hypertension, and anemia and should be monitored with blood pressure and creatinine checks bi-monthly, along with periodic CBC, potassium levels, and liver enzymes.
Biologics including etanercept and infliximab can allow for systemic infection as well as injection site infection. They can be monitored with PPD before initiating or re-starting therapy as well as periodic CBC.

Trump Administration Set To Execute The Most Prisoners In U.S. History
By Jamal Andress
If federal executions carry on as scheduled, the Trump administration will conduct more executions than any single administration in American history.
Between now and the end of President Donald Trump's term, his administration plans to execute five federal prisoners, setting a deadly record for the administration and creating a controversial political precedent.
DUNHAM: "There has been no administration in American history going back to before the United States was the United States, there was no administration in American history that has carried out six executions during a transition period between presidencies."
There had been no federal executions for 17 years before the Trump administration restarted the practice on July 14.
Since then, the Trump administration has carried out seven more lethal injections with five more scheduled before President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in, including the first woman in nearly 70 years. That would be the largest string of federal executions by any administration in American history.
DUNHAM: "This is an administration that has used the Department of Justice as a political weapon. And the way it's approached the death penalty is just a further example of that."
The next scheduled execution is Brandon Bernard on Dec. 10. Bernard was convicted for the kidnapping and killing of two Texas youth ministers. While Bernard has never denied his involvement, his legal team says he never shot anyone and didn't intend on killing anyone.
BROWNSTEIN: "He was just an accomplice, not present for the majority of the crime. He was not present for the carjacking, not present for the robbery. He was not the shooter. The shooter has been executed. Brandon did not kill anyone. So he is one of the least culpable individuals involved in this crime."
Since Bernard was put on death row, five of the nine jurors who voted for execution in the original case have submitted letters saying they no longer believe the death sentence is appropriate.
And since an execution date was scheduled for Bernard, one of the prosecutors who argued his guilt in court published an op-ed pleading for Bernard's life.
Bernard's case has also caught the public's attention. More than 75,000 people have submitted letters asking for the president to commute Bernard's sentence, and Kim Kardashian asked for his life to be spared on Twitter.
Despite the outpouring of support, the execution is scheduled to proceed and his legal team is running out of options.
BROWNSTEIN: "It's an uphill battle. I mean, we're asking the president of the United States to commute Brandon's death sentence to a sentence of life without parole. We think we have the facts and the mitigation and, and the law behind us for President Trump to do that. … But it is an uphill battle."
If Bernard is granted a stay, he may be able to avoid execution when the new administration takes office.
President-elect Biden has mentioned in the past he wants to get rid of the death penalty at the federal level.
As for the Trump administration, a DOJ official told the Washington Post: "This has nothing to do with who's coming into power. It shouldn't be a Republican or Democrat thing. It's the law."
DUNHAM: "It is out of step with American norms. It's out of step with American values. And it's out of step with a general civility that we tend to see when one administration moves, when one administration moves out of office, and another one comes in."
According to the Death Penalty Information Center, for every eight and a half people who are executed, one person is wrongfully convicted, wrongfully sent to death row and then exonerated.

It's an uncharacteristically simple outfit today! Denim's just perfect for Autumn, isn't it? Not that I've made my peace with the fact that Summer's over, fingers crossed for a mild September/October. But anyway, I think denim dresses are great for transitioning to slightly cooler weather - they offer a bit more warmth than floaty summer fabrics, without getting too sombre.
This bag is rather special (to me, at least). Again, it's fairly simple, but I spotted it at a farmer's market in Dolgellau, a little town in Snowdonia. It was on a stall run by a woman from a local farm, and though there were a few other bags in different patterns there (my mum picked one up too), she told me this was the first one she'd ever made. I thought the fabric was gorgeous, and the bag is so well made, I couldn't resist. Unsurprisingly, the seller has gone on to make a lot more bags and textile pieces, though still on a mostly local scale - take a look at her facebook page, Sabina's Sewing Room.
A couple of other little things to mention here: yes, those are the remnants of a henna design on my hand. I've wanted to try doing my own henna for a while, so I bought some cheap cones that had good reviews (here) and I've been using any festival/event as an excuse to try them out. It's harder than I thought to draw designs with the cones, and I've by no means mastered it yet, but I haven't made a complete mess of my skin either so I'm going to count that as a success!
You may have also noticed (if you've read any of my older posts) that my hair colour has changed quite substantially. It's gone from being dark reddish brown to a sort of blonde/light brown ombre. This started as an impulsive decision to bleach the tips of my dark hair, in order to be able to use some of the Bleach London colours on it for Glastonbury. However, the bleaching didn't go exactly to plan, and I was left with gingery tips, which meant my hair looked a little odd at Glasto. Afterwards, I gave my hair a week or two to recover, then tried bleaching again, using a balayage technique to blend the blonde and brown sections of my hair together and to take the lighter tones much higher up. The result? Well, as you can see, I really am quite blonde (or, perhaps more accurately, bronde) now. And I like it. It's been a fun change for the summer. I've always wanted to try going blonde for a bit, just to see if it would suit me, but I won't keep it forever. I'm actually kind of missing my brunette locks already, so I'll probably blend in darker tones slowly from the roots through Autumn/Winter.
Have you ever had to fix a hair dying disaster? For a while, I was terrified that my hair wouldn't be able to take the bleach and would all break off - cue lots of deep conditioning treatments!
Hair looks good, and that smile is just so cute.
I love your bag, it is so different to anything I have seen on the high street. I like how simple and elegant this outfit is, yet still classic and elegant. Lovely post.
I think your hair looks great!! Your dress is also really cute, such a wardrobe staple.

Q: MS Access VBA script to interface with Excel  I am trying to write a VBA scriptin Microsoft Access that will interface with an Excel sheet, loop through rows and then cells in the row, and then pull info back into the Access table.
Here is some sudo code-
For Each Row
    For Each Cell in the Row
        Read the Cell
        Create a new Record in the Access table with the info from the cell
    End For Each
End For Each

You can see a simplified example of the end result in the pictures below.
What we have-

What is needed-

I have coded before, but never in VBA; so any help would be appreciated! Thanks for your help!!!

A: I suggest you link the Excel sheet using the various wizards or the TransferSpreadsheet method of DoCmd and simply run action queries using the linked Excel table.
A Union Query is what is required. Let us call your linked spreadsheet t.
SELECT * INTO Table1
FROM (
    SELECT [Seq#], "Name" As [Field Name], [Name] As [Field Value]
    FROM t
    UNION ALL
    SELECT [Seq#], "Location" As [Field Name], [Location] As [Field Value]
    FROM t
    UNION ALL
    SELECT [Seq#], "Car" As [Field Name], [Car] As [Field Value]
    FROM t ) imp

INSERT INTO Table1
SELECT * FROM (
    SELECT [Seq#], "Name" As [Field Name], [Name] As [Field Value]
    FROM t
    UNION ALL
    SELECT [Seq#], "Location" As [Field Name], [Location] As [Field Value]
    FROM t
    UNION ALL
    SELECT [Seq#], "Car" As [Field Name], [Car] As [Field Value]
    FROM t ) imp

You can make life easier by getting rid of the spaces and reserved words in your field and column names.
It is generally better to list fields that to use an asterisk (*) as shown above.

A: First create a link to your Excel worksheet as @Remou suggested.  In the following example, I named the link as "tblExcelData".  Then "tblDestination" will store a separate record for each "cell" of a worksheet row as you requested.  In tblDestination, Seq# is long integer, and Field Name and Field Value are both text.
Public Sub foo20120612a()
    Dim db As DAO.Database
    Dim rsSrc As DAO.Recordset
    Dim rsDest As DAO.Recordset
    Dim fld As DAO.Field

    Set db = CurrentDb
    Set rsSrc = db.OpenRecordset("tblExcelData", dbOpenSnapshot)
    Set rsDest = db.OpenRecordset("tblDestination", _
        dbOpenTable, dbAppendOnly)
    Do While Not rsSrc.EOF
        For Each fld In rsSrc.Fields
            If fld.Name <> "Seq#" Then
                With rsDest
                    .AddNew
                    ![Seq#] = CLng(rsSrc![Seq#])
                    ![Field Name] = fld.Name
                    ![Field Value] = fld.value
                    .Update
                End With
            End If
        Next fld
        rsSrc.MoveNext
    Loop
    rsDest.Close
    Set rsDest = Nothing
    rsSrc.Close
    Set rsSrc = Nothing
    Set db = Nothing
End Sub

The White House at Work
Peace Officers Memorial / NATO-Russia Partnership
TODAY: PRESIDENT HONORS POLICE KILLED IN LINE OF DUTY
Today, President Clinton speaks at the Peace Officers Memorial in DC to honor those who have fallen in the line of duty, and to honor those who serve us every day:
The President will renew his call for Congress to pass real Juvenile Justice legislation, with new prosecutors and tougher penalties, tough measures to cut-off young people's access to guns (including child safety locks), and targeted crime prevention to steer young people away from gangs.
Two months ago, after the tragedy on the Empire State Building, the President directed the ATF to require people who buy guns to prove that they are not just passing through. Today, the President is announcing the release of new application forms to make certification of residency an unavoidable step for gun purchasers. If they can't prove residency, they can't purchase a gun.
Under President Clinton, serious crime has dropped for five years in a row, and in 1996, the number of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty dropped 30% from 1995, to its lowest level in 37 years.
WEDNESDAY: PRESIDENT HAILS NATO-RUSSIA PARTNERSHIP
Yesterday, President Clinton welcomed the historic agreement to form a practical partnership between NATO and Russia:
The agreement is a major step toward a peaceful, undivided, democratic Europe for the first time in history, and helps to pave the way for NATO to take in new members.
It builds on President Clinton's commitment to adapt NATO to new missions in a new century, to open its doors to Europe's new democracies; to strengthen its ties to non-members through the Partnership for Peace, and to forge a strong, productive relationship between NATO and a free, democratic Russia.
President Clinton said: "We can build a better Europe...with real security, real peace, and real hope for all its citizens. A more secure, peaceful, and hopeful Europe clearly means a better world for Americans in the 21st century."
TOMORROW: PRESIDENT CLINTON RECOGNIZESSURVIVORS OF STUDY AT TUSKEEGEE
Tomorrow at a White House ceremony, President Clinton will recognize the injustice done to survivors of the U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study conducted in Macon County, Alabama.
The President will issue a formal apology on behalf of the federal government, and announce new actions to ensure that the lessons learned in Tuskeegee are never forgotten.

Q: Regex finding second string I'm attempting to get the last word in the following strings.
After about 45 minutes I can't seem to find the right combination of slashes, dashes and brackets.
The closest I've got is
/(?![survey])[a-z]+/gi
It matches the following strings, except for "required" it is returning the match "quired" I'm assuming it's because the re are in the word survey.
survey[1][title]
survey[1][required]
survey[2][anotherString]

A: One way to solve this is to match the full line and only capture the part you need.
survey\[\d+\]\[([a-z]+)\]

A: You're using a character set, which will exclude any of the characters from being the first character in the match, which isn't what you want. Using plain negative lookahead would be a start:
(?!survey)[a-z]+

But you also want to match the final word, which can be done by matching word characters that are followed with \]$ - that is, by a ] and the end of the string:
[a-z]+(?=\]$)

https://regex101.com/r/rLvsY5/1
If you want to be more efficient, match the whole string, but capture what comes between the square brackets in a capturing group - the last repeated captured group will be in the result:
survey(?:\[(\w+)\])+

John Day hosts economic symposium
By Richard Hanners Blue Mountain Eagle
Richard Hanners
About 45 government officials and professionals attended the Regional Economic Diversification Summit hosted by the city of John Day on June 10-11.
The purpose of the REDS event was to show federal funding agencies and permitting agencies the strategic investments the city has been making in housing, broadband, riverfront recreation areas and economic development, City Manager Nick Green said.
"The event introduced elements of our comprehensive economic development strategy, which builds on the city's 2017 Strategy for Growth by identifying opportunities for economic expansion and population growth," Green told the Eagle.
Representatives from the Economic Development Administration, USDA Rural Development, Federal Emergency Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Forest Service and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco were invited to the summit.
State agencies invited to attend included the departments of Land Conservation and Development, Environmental Quality, Fish and Wildlife, Transportation and Parks and Recreation.
Representatives from the offices of Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley and Rep. Greg Walden, the state offices of Business Oregon and Regional Solutions, and the Oregon Trail Electrical Cooperative were also invited.
"Gov. Kate Brown called in and gave the concluding remarks, thanking the participants and re-emphasizing the state's ongoing support for the work we're doing," Green said.
Consultants for the city included the Walker Macy landscape architecture firm, which provided an overview of the city's area plan concept. EcoNorthwest presented the economic context for our economic development strategy and the focus areas, Green said.
City staff took participants on a tour of the Innovation Gateway project at the former Oregon Pine mill site, the city's commercial greenhouses and the proposed integrated park system of riverfront trails, beaches and parks. During a stop at the Kam Wah Chung State Heritage Site, state park manager Dennis Bradley provided a brief history of the site, Green said.
"Participants then had the opportunity to work in teams to identify funding opportunities and discuss ways the city could pursue various aspects of our strategy," Green said.
Rhys Roth, from the Center for Sustainable Infrastructure in Olympia, Washington, facilitated a discussion of financing opportunities for the city's proposed wastewater treatment plant and hydroponic greenhouses, the John Day River riparian corridor and outdoor recreation, as well as streets, business development and academic opportunities.
The city hopes to use the greenhouses to incubate a local food production industry by establishing a partnership with regional growers, food outlets and distributors and creating a "focused learning center," according to the city's presentation.
The city also hopes to "amplify the brand of John Day to attract more visitors and residents," seek partnerships to enhance and support existing businesses and attract new entrepreneurs to John Day, according to the city's presentation.
"It was an incredible event, to see so many different agencies and individuals coming together to find ways to help us succeed," Green said. "To have a group of this caliber working together for one city is truly remarkable. It felt great to see their support, and I think it will generate some good opportunities for the city in the future."

SPEY 18 Year Old single malt Scotch whiskey from the Speyside Distillery Company. Matured in sherry butts. Limited release of 1,500 bottles.
The aroma and taste of a rich fruit salad in a base of walnuts, fresh cream and berry fruits burst on to the tongue! Sultana raisins, home-made fudge, Granny Smith apples and pear drops all jockey for position! Gradually hints of dark chocolate and vanilla take over. On the tongue this whiskey is deliciously sweet yet delicately balanced by bitter dark chocolate. The taste gradually fades in a long fruity finish leaving you ready for more.
The original Speyside Distillery resided and flourished in Kingussie from 1895 until 1905 before being demolished in 1911. Construction of the present Speyside Distillery commenced in 1962 and was completed in 1987, the stills were fired into life just the right side of Christmas 1990. Speyside Distillery is a small malt whisky distillery equipped with just two stills and is situated near Drumguish and Kingussie and close to the River Tormie, a tributary of the River Spey, near Kingussie in the Speyside whisky region.


Mауbе you've nеvеr heard thе term vermiculture, if ѕо don't feel bad, mаnу experienced gardeners аrе unfamiliar with thiѕ organic practice. I think vermiculture iѕ fascinating; simply put it's thе process оf composting kitchen waste with earthworms. We're nоt talking аbоut common night crawlers, but ѕресiаl varieties оf worms ѕuсh аѕ rеd worms, аnd rеd wigglers.
Okay, I'll admit tо owning аn аnt farm whеn I wаѕ a kid, but thiѕ iѕ ѕо muсh mоrе practical. Vermiculture, оr vermicomposting аѕ itѕ аlѕо knоwn iѕ mоrе likе beekeeping; уеѕ I've givеn thаt a trу too. But juѕt imagine fоr a second, уоu feed thе worms уоur leftover garbage аnd kitchen scraps. Thе worms thеn quickly eat аll thоѕе leftovers, sparing уоu thе hassles оf taking оut thе garbage.
And here's thе bеѕt part, whilе thе composting worms аrе disposing оf уоur garbage, they're аlѕо producing a terrific organic fertilizer аnd soil conditioner called earthworm castings. Well, okay… thе term earthworm casting iѕ juѕt a nice nаmе fоr earthworm excrement. I don't knоw whо thought uр thе nаmе earthworm castings, but I guess it makes sense if уоu think it through.
Yоu mау hаvе ѕееn worm castings fоr sale аt уоur local garden center аnd didn't realize whаt уоu wеrе dealing with, but nоw уоu know. Don't worry, earthworm castings аrе clean, odorless, аnd sterile… trust mе оn thiѕ one. Yоu don't nееd gloves оr a shovel tо handle them, аnd thеу аrе wonderful fоr improving уоur soil quality аnd fоr promoting thе growth аnd health оf аll уоur plants.
Sо уоu саn purchase bags оf earthworm castings tо uѕе аrоund thе garden оr if you're a littlе mоrе adventurous уоu саn set uр аn "earthworm farm" аnd produce уоur own. Thе farm iѕ асtuаllу juѕt a worm bin thаt саn bе set uр indoors оr outdoors depending оn thе climate.
Vermicomposting isn't complicated, but thе worms аrе living creatures, аnd hаvе сеrtаin requirements. Fоr еxаmрlе thеу don't tolerate extremely hot living conditions, аnd thеу аlѕо won't survive freezing. Thе worms аrе pretty healthy eaters, ѕо whilе eggshells аrе fine, don't trу slipping аnу meat, fats, оr greasy foods intо thеir diet.
If thiѕ sounds a littlе likе hаving a pet, wеll it is. Nоt terribly demanding, but thеу dо require a littlе оf уоur attention tо make ѕurе thаt things run smoothly. In exchange they'll bе hаrd аt work performing thеir community service tо save thе environment аnd tо hеlр уоu grow a bеttеr garden.
Kids love vermicomposting аnd ѕоmе schools еvеn include vermiculture аѕ раrt оf thе curriculum. Fоr thоѕе оf уоu wishing thаt thеу hаd grown uр with a worm bin inѕtеаd оf thаt аnt farm, it's nоt tоо lаtе tо trу оnе out. Yоu саn find plans fоr building homemade bins оr уоu саn purchase fancy multi-level bins оvеr thе Internet. And unlikе thоѕе аnt farms, уоu саn hаvе thеѕе bins delivered complete with thе composting worms.
If you're uр fоr thе challenge аnd interested in recycling уоur family's kitchen waste intо a valuable fertilizer аnd soil conditioner, trу уоur hаnd аt vermiculture. During lоng winters, it mау еvеn hеlр tо pass thе timе until уоu саn gеt back оut intо thе garden.


25/02/2017�� Determine what accommodations, if any, your child needs. If your child has a learning or physical disability, knowing what accommodations or help your child requires to succeed in the classroom can help you decide on a school, private or public.... If your child has his or her heart set on a specific university, you may want to ask the school if they have had any students attend that university.

Terminator Genisys Review (2015)
Posted in Action, Adventure, Film, Film Genre, Home Page, Sci-Fi / Fantasy, Thriller	| Leave a comment
Summary: Terminator Genisys sees John Connor (Jason Clarke) about to defeat Skynet and its machines so to ensure the victory he sends his dedicated right-hand man Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect his mother, Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) from a potential attack.
However this is where everything changes from the original Terminator storyline. Yes when Kyle arrives back in 1984 to protect Sarah the T-1000 (Byung-hun Lee) is waiting for him but many other things are a miss. Sarah Connor is not the innocent waitress he is expecting – instead she is ready for the Armageddon that is about to happen and already has a protector, a Terminator named Pops (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who has been looking after her since she was nine years old.

OUR TERMINATOR GENISYS REVIEWS & RATINGS:
David Griffiths:
After hearing critics and fanboys alike talking about Terminator Genisys after the screening I attended I have ended up believing that you will never ever make a fanboy happy. Over the years I have heard people complain that the latest film in the franchise 'never does enough to tap into the earlier films in the series.' Well that certainly isn't the case for Terminator Genisys, here director Alan Taylor (most noted for being the man at the helm of Thor: The Dark World) takes the film right back to the happenings of Terminator and T2 and then simply doesn't a little (okay a major) reset. So here was I thinking the fanboys would be in the same rapture I was, that was cool? Right? Wrong!!!
It seems the major problem that most fanboys are having with Terminator Genisys is that a certain character (if you've seen the trailer you'll know who I am talking about) makes a massive switch of sides, through no fault of his own I should point out. Well I'm sorry but a character's destiny isn't exactly something that a fan of a series gets a say about. If they did then Dumbledore probably wouldn't have died in Harry Potter and Jar Jar may have been killed off painfully in Star Wars. No what happens to characters in any franchise lies solely with the creative team behind it, so we have no right to complain. Keeping that in mind both Arnie and the man himself James Cameron gave the script for Terminator Genisys a huge thumbs up so let's just relax and judge this film on what ended up on the big screen and not what we wanted it to be in our daydreams.
For a start the storyline of Terminator Genisys ain't that bad. Just as I was getting déjà vu from Taylor's re-created Terminator scenes I was suddenly jolted into a realization that while he hadn't exactly rebooted the franchise he had delivered a pretty decent mind-wreck that had me suddenly more interested than anything in Terminator Salvation or Rise Of The Machines had. And that interest remained for the rest of the film as Taylor constantly put his characters at risk and messed with timelines. Once you have realised that the screenwriters here were only too happy to mess with existing timelines you suddenly also realise that the suspense level was raised to extreme… after all what stops them from bumping off someone major to the franchise as well?
At times the CGI in Terminator Genisys makes you suspend belief a little too much, but that is more than compensated by the fact that the screenplay gives this film a little bit heart as well. While I'm not 100% sure I enjoyed the so-called humor put into the film, Arnie pushing the point 'old doesn't mean obsolete', I did enjoy the fact that suddenly questions were raised over whether or not a robot like 'Pops' could develop human feelings after a while. We're kidding ourselves if we didn't believe that Pops was seeing Sarah at his daughter for most of the film.
When it comes the cast things were a little up and down. Firstly Arnie does absolutely nothing wrong and I can only hope that when I'm nearly seventy years old that I am still wanting to jump off helicopters and get into physically demanding fights with stuntmen. Terminator Genisys shows that bar Sylvester Stallone Arnie is one of the fittest near-pensioners going around. He is also well supported by Emilia Clarke who shows that she has more than just looking pretty in Game Of Thrones in her arsenal. Here in Terminator Genisys she steps into the role of Sarah Connor with complete ease showing that she has the skills to be both a dramatic actress and an action star when she wants to be.
But there are some problems with the casting of Terminator Genisys as well. Jason Clarke is passable as John Connor, although fans of the series beware he does take some getting used to. The same can't be said for Jai Courtney though. With all credit to Courtney we have seen in films like Jack Reacher and Divergent that this is a guy that can act and be the action hero, but here something is badly amiss. He just simply doesn't fit into the role of Kyle Reese at all and at times his acting seems well below the par set by Emilia Clarke and yes even Arnie. If he wants to retain his role in any further Terminator films you get the feeling that Courtney is really going to have to try and step up a little.
At the end of the day Terminator Genisys is an entertaining and very different Terminator film that grew on me more and more the longer it went. Given it is nowhere near as good as Terminator or T2, but then did any of us expect it would get close to their perfection, but is a lot better than the very bland Rise Of The Machines. Yes, some people may not like the changes to the timeline but hey this could have been a lot worse and to give Terminator Genisys credit I never once grew bored of it all and that isn't something I can say about some of the action films that have been around recently. Terminator Genisys is a pretty decent effort that I can't wait to explore again.

This collection of essays in political sociology and public policy contests some of the fundamental features of the contemporary State as it is manifested in Australia. It explores themes such as the development of the complex interventionist State, characterised by the proliferation of its activities to encompass virtually every feature of its subjects' daily lives and functioning as a central site of struggle over the distribution of social, economic, political and cultural resources. It also examines the impact of the so-called new social movements - the women's movement, the various multiracial and multicultural movements, and the environmental movement - which make new claims on the democratisation of the distribution of resources, and investigates the impact on the State of the pressure for economic 'restructuring' arising from the new terms of competition within a global economy in recession.
In tracing the links between these themes, Bureaucrats, Technocrats, Femocrats makes a major contribution to a critical tradition of writing and analysis in public administration.

Certainly, for many paleontologists and other researchers, calling the modern-day, world largest animals megafauna may sound amusing. The "real" megafauna consisted of creatures that, except for the blue whale, perished from Earth many decades ago, and whose remains showed us a small bit of their equally large world. Here is a short characteristic of the Pleistocene megafauna, and the modern-day one, that is slightly "shrunken".
What is, or rather, what was megafauna?
The term megafauna combines two Latin words: megas – large, and fauna – animal. This term refers thus to the description of domestic and wild land animals, larger than human.
This term is used in relation to enormous Pleistocene animals, such as mammoths. Nowadays, it describes the descendants of the largest known creatures, including elephants, giraffes, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, and large ungulates from the subfamily Bovinae. The word "megafauna" is sometimes used in relation to large marine animals, mostly whales, but also to antelopes and cattle. It can be also used in relation to tremendous dinosaurs and other extinct reptiles.
Paleontologists are the most willing to use the word megafauna in relation to extinct animals that were larger in relation to their modern-day relatives, for example, 1 meter dragonflies of the Carboniferous Period.
From time to time, the representatives of megafauna are categorized in smaller groups: megacarnivores (e.g. lions), megaherbivores (e.g. elks), and more rarely, megaomnivores (e.g. bears).
The animals of megafauna are characterized by longevity, a slow rate of population increase, a low mortality rate, and a lack of natural enemies able to kill adult individuals.
When all dinosaurs perished from Earth because of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, the bodies of mammals started to increase their mass almost immediately. In order to fill all ecological niches that were left empty after the extinction of large dinosaurs, mammals had to become very varied.
Before the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction (about 66 million years ago), mammals reached 50 kg of maximum weight. "Only" a few million years later, the largest representatives of megafauna reached the weight of about 750 kg on average. About 40 million years ago, the weight started to decrease slowly, which may be the indicative of physiological and environmental restrictions. A rapid rise in average sizes of the largest mammals (from one generation to another) lasted, however, until about 30 million years ago, when Paraceratherium appeared, which were the largest terrestrial mammals in history.
Paraceratherium – the largest terrestrial mammal that has ever existed.
The largest herbivore terrestrial mammals in the history of Earth weighed over 10 tons. They included the representatives of the subfamily Indricotheriinae and Proboscidean. The digestive process of these animals took place in the large intestine. Nowadays, it is believed that these animals had an advantage over mammals whose digestion occurred in the foregut. The first ones absorbed nutrients faster, therefore, these animals had to eat enormous amounts of food. In turn, it caused a significant increase in their body size.
Out of all terrestrial mammals, the odd-toed ungulates had the most rapid growth rate, followed by rodents and Proboscidea. The process of digestion in these animals also occurs in the large intestine. The growth rate in the odd-toed ungulates was equal to 1/3 of the growth rate of the even-toed ungulates.
Megacarnivores were certainly larger than megaherbivores. The largest representatives of this group were: Andrewsarchus mongoliensis, and Creodonta from the genus Sarkastodon and Megistotherium, and also the short-faced bear, and the representative of the genus Amphicyon. They reached the maximum weight of 1000 kg. It is likely that smaller body size of the Pleistocene predators was caused by the fact that they couldn't be ponderous and, as a result, slow. Certainly, what helped them, was fast metabolism and the necessity to acquire food actively.
The analyses of the maximum body mass of mammals from last 40 million years have suggested that the decrease in the ambient temperature, and the increase of the size of continents are closely related to the increase in the maximum body size.
In turn, it is associated with the Bergmann's rule. It says that the populations of large-sized animals inhabit cold habitats, and smaller animals are found in warmer areas (unfortunately, the modern-day distribution denies that rule – the largest animals, e.g. elephants, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, live in warm areas of Africa and Asia). It can also be associated with thermoregulation in a cold climate. Thermoregulation enables large animals to survive in regions where food is seasonal.
In the Late Permian, the quadruped animals, including reptiles and, later, mammals, returned to the sea. Since then, marine animals were predominant on Earth in terms of size. It is likely, that their enormous body mass was a result of a more effective intake of oxygen by using the lungs.
The animals from the family Pakicetidae, that were adapted to live in water and were of the size of modern-day wolves, are believed to have been the ancestors of whales. These creatures lived on Earth about 53 million years ago, but already about 40 million years ago, whales reached a dozen or so meters of length. Since about 30 million years ago to today, whales' rate of maximum weight has risen significantly. That's how the largest animal in the history of Earth – the blue whale – appeared.
Whales are not the only marine mammals that became extremely large, because the southern elephant seal is the largest modern-day carnivorous marine mammal.
Blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) – the largest extant animals and the heaviest known to have existed.
The incredibly rapid increase in the body size of marine mammals could have been a result of lower biomechanical limitations. Water "lightened" the body, so it could move in it more easily, while terrestrial animals are influenced by gravity. Also, it is likely that the process of thermoregulation in water was more efficient, because water is a great thermal conductor. It allowed marine animals reaching enormous sizes, which was impossible in case of terrestrial animals.
Shortly after the extinction of dinosaurs, mammals were a group of small and unobtrusive animals, so other vertebrates had about 10 million years for evolving to enormous sizes.
Ecological niches, occupied by leading predators, belonged to big reptiles, including snakes (e.g. the Titanoboa), crocodiles (e.g. Pristichampsus), lizards, mostly Varanidae (e.g. Megalania). Flightless birds, such as the representatives of the genus Astornis, and Paleopsilopters, also took a high place in this hierarchy.
Titanoboa (Titanoboa cerrejonensis) – the largest snake known to have existed.
The most known mass extinction of megafauna species took place in the Quaternary Period, at the end of the last glaciation. Resulting from this significant event, animals such as woolly mammoths that inhabited both Americas and northern Eurasia, perished from Earth. It is difficult to determine what had the greatest influence on the mass extinction of animals in that period. It is mostly said, that it was caused by excessive hunting carried out by people, climate changes, new diseases, and an impact of a comet.
Nevertheless, the wave of extinction of the Pleistocene African and Eurasian megafauna flowed along with people spreading all over the world. Animals that had inhabited unpopulated areas started to perish. However, this extinction had nothing to do with climate changes, which has been proved by the analyses of geological samples. Australia was the first "victim" of the homo sapiens, where they had arrived in about 45,000 years ago. In time, it was joined by Tasmania, Japan, Americas, etc.
None of the largest carnivorous, herbivorous, or omnivorous flightless birds of the Cenozoic Era did not reach the size of the largest herbivorous and carnivorous mammals.
The modern flightless birds native to New Zealand – the kiwi – have been recognized as the sister group of the extinct elephant birds from Madagascar. This discovery shows that gigantism and inability to fly occurred independently of one another. The occurrence of these both features in the ratites were probably the result of the so called parallel evolution.
Diprotodon – the largest known marsupial ever to have lived.
It is a pity that no longer live such large animals.
Well yeah it is a shame that they are no longer living on this planet. but in the other hand its good because they dont have to suffer from the humans stupidity, curiosity for anything new and the fear of what they dont understand. the humans would hunt those creatures if they manage to survive long enough in a time where those gigantic carnivores exist.

Q: Catch exception from async workflow run on different thread let failing = async {
    failwith "foo"
}

let test () =
    try
        Async.Start(failing)
    with
    | exn -> printf "caught"

This code doesn't catch the exception. How can I start an asynchronous workflow on a separate thread and catch the exception in the main program?

A: As there is no result awaited, there is no place where the exception could be caught. You need to wrap the computation. One possibility:
let failing = async {
    failwith "foo"
}

let test () =
    async {
        let! res = failing |> Async.Catch
        match res with
        | Choice1Of2 _ -> printf "success"
        | Choice2Of2 exn -> printfn "failed with %s" exn.Message
    } |> Async.Start

A: as an alternative you start the workflow as a task and use it's methods and properties instead. For example Task.Result will rethrow an exception again so this works, and is almost what you tried:
let test () =
   try
      Async.StartAsTask failing
      |> fun t -> t.Result
   with _ -> printfn "caught"

run
> test ();;
caught
val it : unit = ()

on a differnt thread
sorry - I just saw that you want it on a different thread - in this case you most likely want to use the internal approach RCH gave you - but you could use ContinueWith too (although a bit ugly):
open System.Threading.Tasks

let test () =
   (Async.StartAsTask failing).ContinueWith(fun (t : Task<_>) -> try t.Result with _ -> printfn "caught")

run
> test ();;
caught
val it : Task = System.Threading.Tasks.Task {AsyncState = null;
                                             CreationOptions = None;
                                             Exception = null;
                                             Id = 3;
                                             IsCanceled = false;
                                             IsCompleted = true;
                                             IsFaulted = false;
                                             Status = RanToCompletion;}

without Async.Catch
also you don't really need the Async.Catch:
let test () =
   async {
      try
         do! failing
      with _ -> printfn "caught"
   } |> Async.Start

Q: How to replace window.alert('') with jQuery UI dialog - merging two scripts I am looking for some help with merging two jquery scripts. Both attached examples are working with basic functionality, but I do not have enough experience in order to combine them into one script.

I think that function renaming will be required, but have no idea how to copy/adopt it.
Please find attached both codes examples bellow.

I have no more than two days experience with js/jquery so any help is most welcome.
Thanks in advance...

A: I would consider creating your own function instead of alert(). Consider the following:
function alertDiag(c, t){
  if(t == undefined){
    t = "Alert";
  }
  var diag = $("
", {
    title: t
  }).html("
" + c + "
").dialog({
    modal: true,
    buttons: {
      Ok: function() {
        window.location.href = "glowny.php?akcja=produkty";
      }
    }
  });
}

You can then replace window.alert(str) with alertDiag(str). This should create and launch the dialog. Since you're changing the location and loading a new page, closing the dialog is not needed.
alertDiag() will accept c as the HTML Content. Optionally, it will accept t as the Title. If you have a specific title you want to use, it is done like so:
alert(str, "Usuwanie produktu");

If no t is defined, it will simply say "Alert". You can change this to your preferred default.
Update
You can also increase the functions ability. Consider the following:
function goto(url){
  if(url === undefined || url === false){
    return false;
  }
  window.location.href = url;
}

function alertDiag(c, t, u){
  if(t === undefined){
    t = "Alert";
  }
  if(u === undefined){
    u = false;
  }
  var diag = $("
", {
    title: t
  }).html("
" + c + "
").dialog({
    modal: true,
    buttons: {
      Ok: function(){
        goto(u);
      }
    }
  });
}

Then use like:
alertDiag(str, title, "glowny.php?akcja=produkty");

Example: https://jsfiddle.net/Twisty/pnowcdrg/
Hope this helps.

A: Twisty provided ideal solution. The following function has been added to the script:
function alertDiag(c, t){
  if(t == undefined){
    t = "Alert";
  }
  var diag = $("
", {
    title: t
  }).html("
" + c + "
").dialog({
    modal: true,
    buttons: {
      Ok: function() {
        window.location.href = "glowny.php?akcja=produkty";
      }
    }
  });
}

and the way that dialog has been called has been changed from this:
window.alert(str);

to this:
alertDiag(str, "Usuwanie produktu");

Many thanks Twisty for your help.


Egyptian schoolboy Mina Habib rarely leaves his house these days. The 10-year-old is still recovering from seeing Islamist gunmen kill his father for being Christian.
In an attack claimed by Islamic State, gunmen ambushed a group of Coptic Christians travelling to a monastery in Minya in southern Egypt last month, killing 29 and wounding 24, with Mina's father Adel among the dead.
A month later, residents of Dayr Jarnous, a Christian village that was home to seven of those killed, say the government is not providing proper security and has done nothing to help the victims' families.
Mina is receiving therapy at a local church, in the absence of any treatment from the government. His brother Marco, 14, who also escaped the attack, visits a monastery to read the bible as a form of therapy.
Still shaken, village residents fear they are exposed if there is another attack and want President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to keep his promise to protect Christians. There was no extra security in the village, with only a police point out in the desert where the attack took place.
In one of the first detailed eyewitness accounts of the Minya attack, which has led to retaliatory Egyptian air strikes in Libya, Mina told Reuters it was pure chance that he and Marco were spared.
They were on a pickup truck headed to the monastery of Saint Samuel the Confessor when the militants stopped them.
Ahead, blood-soaked bodies littered the desert road to the monastery and two vehicles had clearly been attacked.
"We saw dead people, just dumped on the ground," Mina recounted.
Mina said there were around 15 gunmen. He does not know why he and Marco were spared when other children were shot.
Three vehicles were attacked. A bus and a car taking children and families to the monastery were the first targets.
The gunmen shot out the windows then killed all the men and fired at the feet of the women and children. They took the women's gold jewellery, eyewitnesses said. Some children were killed.
When one of the gunmen's vehicles had a flat tire, they stopped Adel Habib's truck, which was carrying Christian workers, shot them and took the truck.
Marco stopped a car when the militants left and put Mina in it to get him to safety. When at last he got mobile phone reception on the desert road, Marco called their mother.
Now she keeps her children at home – neighbours have written "Marco and Mina the lion-hearted" on its walls – only letting the boys out for therapy in church. Marco was unavailable for interview; he was at a monastery reading the bible.
"Ever since the accident I am always at home," said Mina.
"Security, the government, and the army are negligent. No one protects us other than God. It is known that Christians are not protected in this country," said Kirolos Ishak, a university student whose father was also killed that day.
Coptic Christians, who make up 10 percent of Egypt's population of 92 million, say they have been persecuted for years. In recent months attacks have increased, leaving about 100 dead.
Egypt's Copts support Sisi, who has vowed to crush Islamist militants and protect Christians. He declared a three-month state of emergency after church bombings in April.
But many Christians feel the state is failing to protect them.
