I'm quick to forgive but I don't really 'forget'.
Aren't cops trained to think rationally?
No. They're not. They are trained to stop anyone at any cost. To them we are just dogs to be gunned down at any time. They are not "nice" and they are not our friends. You so much as sniff at them and they will taser you..or worse.
They don't care about your life because to them everyone is a potential criminal and they will kill you if they think they might have seen something.
Anyways..regardless of the theft, this incident went wrong on all levels. The kids are without a mother and the mother of the victim is without her child. But..I guess that is ok..you know, collateral damage and all. It's all in the name of justice of course.

Wal Mart hires real cops, in police uniform with guns, to patrol the parking lots?
Help me, I'm Canadian.
Yes as extra security some do. The cops aren't there 24/7 but they will be outside in patrol cars. I don't believe all Wal Marts do it. Before my dad retired he did security for the local Wal Mart. They feel the police presence is a deterrent to shoplifters. They also have the plain clothes employees who watch for shoplifters who are not armed inside the store who are paid hourly. That's what my brother does.
Until you need one. My dad was a cop. Everyone knew him and liked him. He didn't carry a tazer and he never killed anyone. He was however shot out of the blue for pulling a guy over for having expired tags because the guy thought he was being pulled over for a domestic crime he'd just committed.
You don't like them? Don't call them ever. For anything. You have a break in or get in a car accident, suck it up.

Don't get mad, get sadistic
Yea ok dude. You know, it's people like this that are ruining our country. The problem is that we never hear the stories about police officers saving lives, or helping protect this country. We hear the stories like these, where an officer has to make a quick decision that ends up being the wrong one. Then we have people like this that bash the officers who are putting their lives on the line for us citizens.
Its kind of sad if you think about it. Our society would be way worse off if we didn't have police officers, but still they get bashed for doing their job and making tough decisions that have to be made. Unfortunately, once those decisions are made, they cant be taken back. So why not show these heroes some respect? God knows they deserve it for having to put up with crap like this...
Exactly. Not everything is black and white.

Since police officer took an oath and swore to protect and serve, it means they are essentially at the cities disposal and they will do whatever necessary so they do not violate that oath they took, you guys do recall that african american plain clothe cop who was shot and killed by one of his own in New York after he ran after the mexican guy who was going through his car, that black plain cloth cop had a gun while running after the real criminal but i believe that plain cloth cop didn't tell the dispatcher he was an armed plain clothe police officer and so when the other cops pulled up one of them shot at him.
A similar thing happened to an asian cop here in Minneapolis that was doing a drug bust in plain cloth so when the drug dealer sensed something in the plain cloth cop and shot at him and ran the vest saved him but his arriving backup opened fire on the already shot plain cloth asian cop even though dispatcher said suspect was black, and he was shot with an unauthorized machine gun by one of the cops but luckily he survived and got a $4 million dollar settlement but a few years later he took his own life sadly so that settlement will get inherited by his own family.

Education...has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
-- G.M. Trevelyan
When I was security for Wal-Mart I was told this(the undercover that Coldethyl stated, was really a fun job), Let them go the camera's will be enough to get enough information for the crime to be resolved. It is safer to let them go and handle it after the fact. Life isn't replaceable like material objects and violence has a tendency to affect sales in a negative light.
The guy was playing cowboy for no good reason. Stealing is a fine and some jail time not death. The guy wanted to play judge, jury and executioner, he wasn't a(acting like a) cop at that moment and shouldn't be treated as such. (Unless of course she was trying to kill the guy while trying to get out which I doubt)

Aren't cops trained to think rationally? Then again I didn't watch the video and don't want to, as it sounds awful. A mother gunned down infront of her child is never the right thing to do.
I think defending himself while being dragged between the door and seat of a moving vehicle is pretty rational. If I felt that my life was in danger like that, I wouldn't care if the pope was in the car. Shots will be fired.
So you are saying that he should have just let himself be dragged to death by theives? That wouldn't have the same traumatic effect on the children in the car?
well said. I have friends that are police officers and some of the stories that they tell me are truly unbelievable.

Well, like I said I haven't watched the clip as it sounds awful, but if the woman was trying to kill him then shooting to incapacitate would be the best thing he could have done, I think. Sounds like a really bad situation for everybody involved: Officer gets squashed, criminal gets murdered, children lose their mother.
Now, could running down the cop have a traumatizing effect on the children? It's possible. Though I'd have thought hearing loud "BANG's" and noticing ones mother has just been killed would have a further traumatic effect on them.
However this being said, I wish I could say I've met some nice cops. I've met curious officer's before but thats about it.
As for Ryu, we can't blame him for his disgust at police officer behavior regarding the news and Youtube, especially if he lives in America. Seems the majority of cops there are psychopaths and Youtube contains the proof.
Take care and peace out.
Regardless of which is more traumatic, who put the children in that situation in the first place?
No, please, present me with this proof. Show me that the majority of American officers are psychopaths. How can you even make that statement if you don't even live here? That's like me saying that British officers are stupid for not carrying firearms. I can't make that decision without living there and actually knowing what life is like over there. You're stereotyping America and it is unwarranted
Theft doesn't justify murder, Biff.
Even if the officer was between the seat and the door, he should've either forced himself into the vehicle or let go. It's better than taking a life.
Like I said, this was a really bad incident all around: Store gets robbed, officer almost gets injured, woman gets gunned down, children left traumatized.
I agree that it's a bad situation all around. It's just too bad that the children had a mother that put them in that situation in the first place.
No, please, present me with this proof. Show me that the majority of American officers are psychopaths. How can you even make that statement if you don't even live here? That's like me saying that British officers are stupid for not carrying firearms. I can't make that decision without living there and actually knowing what life is like over there. You're stereotyping America and it is unwarranted.
If majority of police were do-gooders, whats there to get offended over?
I had 4 pages worth of US police brutality videos, but UM won't allow me to post due to 'too many media files.' Deleted all but 5 and still wouldn't let me post the links. Sorry.
Youtube is full of evidence. If you want your proof, it's all stored there.
I was going to reply in regards to what someone said to or about me but thought it would be pointless.
All I will say is that you can not "un-kill" someone no matter how hard and loud you pray, scream and chant.
Dead is dead..forever. It's not a video game where a potion brings them back. No reset button, no anything.
An object can be replaced but a life..in this case a mother...her life is gone, regardless of what she has stolen her kids no longer have mommy and what's worse is they had to witness her killing.
They will learn something but it is not going to be what we think.
They'll probably learn intolerance & bias towards police officers, and after a case like this, who can blame them?

I don't know where everyone is getting this " the officer was between the seat and the door" from. I haven't heard anything like this said. Did I miss something I shouldn't have?
I think Biff first mentioned it. Either that or I'm going insane. I didn't want to watch the vid, so I can't really say what happened.
It was on a radio news report that I heard on my way into work the other morning. I just found this to back it up.
Andrews began to drive away while the deputy was standing between the open door and the driver's seat.
'She threw it in reverse and tried to run over the deputy,' said Harris County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Deputy Thomas Gilliland.
Edit to add this from the same article: So it looks like we may have more confused about this than originally thought
Inside the car as it was speeding away were two small children - investigators have said that they were not Frey's children.

Shot her in front of her kids? Holy pancakes that's low. ..Those kids will never be able to shake that vision from their minds.. It will haunt them. I know the mother put them into horrid situation of shoplifting.. but I don't think her or the kids expects that? ... I didn't know security guards had guns !!

They were not her children. She was a violent thief who tried to run into the cop when she got caught. It is terrible that she was killed. The poor security guard. I'm sure he didn't mean to kill her. She ended her own life, ruined the security guards. And also her children's lives. Or maybe they are better off without her. If this is how she lived imagine how they would grow up?
Even if they are not her kids.. Fact is- They would still be in shock watching someone get shot, it could still traumatise them, it can also haunt them for a long time .... Any child who witnesses killing or extreme violence is too much.. No kid should watch any form of violence or killing, regardless of the situation.. I wouldn't even argue with my husband if my kids were present...
Agreed BM. Thanks for the info Biff. Why would the officer go that close to the car? Let the cameras do the work. That's what they're there for.

Wow tragic indeed, in the UK we have a let them leave policy, especially with all the clear crisp CCTV footage, its gets circulated to every store and when they show up at the next store get arrested..simple, It appears the off duty cop took his part time job a bit too seriously.
Travelling Man 171
And you are asking... Why?
Why would the officer get that close to the car?
How about to apprehend and/or detain a suspect that is in the midst of committing a crime? While cameras CAN be good tools, most security cameras are for crap - and you will be lucky to tell what color or make of vehicle the suspects were in. If you have problems telling what kind of car it is, do you honestly think you can make a positive ID of a person? Not hardly.
Once the car started in motion, it became a deadly weapon - and the cop was justified.
Sure... it's ALL the cops fault that the kids witnessed someone getting shot - thank you for completely dismissing the fact that the dead woman was allegedly involved in a robbery, assault and attempted murder of a security guard (who happened to be an off-duty cop). You're completely ignoring any possible culpability on the part of the THREE women involved.
The security guard was doing his job. He got that close to the car because he expected her to stop. Not to run him over. What in the world was she thinking.
The three women who were there with children. Any responsible adult. Would have thought of what the kids would be experiencing.

Local Bristol schools got behind the first Wanderland in Bishopston 2015, they enjoyed presentations and workshops to support whatever they wanted to do in their windows, to take home or put up at school.
At two of the Ashley Down School sites we worked with the Year 3's, learning about light and shadow on topics they were working on.
At the Downend Road site the windows on Tortworth Road, BS7 were transformed by the Year 2's into a 'cracking contraption' for the Wanderland following their topic of Electricity. They made a display which created Sean the Sheep which looked amazing!
At Brunel Fields they worked very hard on images of their current topic of 'India' and they made some great images to take home and display in the school. If you kept your eyes peeled there were elephants and Taj Mahals on the Wanderland..

Files are automatically saved in your online account when you use Acrobat.com online services. However, you can probably download the files on your computer, by selecting to https://cloud.acrobat.com/filesand then by clicking on the download icon.
Additional problems with your subscription?
I have Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit operating system.
I have lost my file "Download". How retrieve/recover my file "Download"?
1. did you of recent changes to the system before the show?
2 are. what file download you referring?
3. have you deleted the file using option DEL or SHIFT DEL?
If you have downloaded the file with success and deleted, I suggest you to check if the files are in the trash and check if it helps.
If you are not able to find the files in the Recycle Bin, you can use all of the third party tools and check if you can recover the files.
In addition, for more information, see the link below.

Usually, this would happen if you have any third-party security software installed on the computer.
I suggest you temporary disable the security software installed on the computer and check if it helps.
There are video games that are compatible with windows 7 64 bit operating systems?
Yes almost all games in 10 years works perfectly on 64-bit Windows. What Call of Duty games are you having problems with? If the first two, you might have to enter the video drivers for your graphics card/computer manufacturer as the first two required OpenGL which is not included with the drivers that Windows uses by default (this has been the case since at least Windows XP).
... Can someone explain to me what is the difference between a 32-bit operating system and a 64-bit operating system?... How are they different from each other in the feature and so on...?
It happened once before, but I don't remember the solution.
It is very frustarting as Windows hides these obvious options without giving you a way easty to change. I don't know what has caused the change at first.
WMP is set as default player for all supported media types.
Solution: Although WMP is already set as default program for all its supported video format, I had to go to set your default programs and select explicitly.
Looks like the info bar itself would have the option available.

I'm unable to print a page of web... pop box appears, asking you to save the file. When cancelled, unknown error message appears. Other browsers ok.
Make sure that your printer is selected at the top of this dialog box, and who print to file is not selected in the middle of this box.
I am trying to save a file in pdf format. It appears in my folder as a file. I have a little need to do so. Registration of the same file with different names. Some work and some aren't.
All registration documents are called files. What determines its type is the file extension. If it goes to something else especially an extension that the file viewer does not recognize he can just say instead of his type of format file.
First thing to try is to verify that pdf is the extension (the characters after the last period) if there is no or an extension that you recognize, rename the file, and add the .pdf at the end of the name.
If the file is a true pdf file it will load now.
If she does not then of two things is true. The file is corrupted sense that it must be recreated. Or the file belongs to another application that is more installed on your computer.
Once Finally, scenario, the extension is correct and does not rename but still it says file instead of pdf.
In this case, like acrobat or Adobe reader software was uninstalled and deleted the associated file.
Even if the association can manually be fixed which is totally dependent on having a Mac or Windows computer, and you have not mentioned it or I forgot. You can just reinstall the program that you want the associated file. The installer will fix it for you.
On Windows computers, the file extension may be hidden. If you have a Windows system and don't know how to change extensions to the visible, let us know. I don't know if the Mac have a similar feature.
For example: file must be saved under 10.13.10_Panel_Two if I select Panel_two option.
My computer is Mac. As I downloaded a PDF file, I clicked file-> save as.
Line 3: Save in 'account online' / 'acrobat.com' / 'new account '.
This is a confidential file, and I won't be saved online.
Is it possible to ensure that there is no version of it online?
Go to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files and delete it from there.
I'm unable to save all the files in any application. The dialog box type of flickers in the background, but nothing happens.
Happens if I am recording a chart on the web using a web browser. Happens when I create a file in Excel or Word, Paint, and Serif (possibly other applications which I am not using at the moment) and then click on "Save as."
It happens if I opened a pdf file from any source (be it on my drive hard or on the web) and click on "Save as" to save another copy.
It happens when I'm using a web-based e-mail service, and if I want to add an attachment, as soon as I click on the Upload button, nothing happens.
It happens when I try to export a scanned image of my scanner, to a file.
I get no error with the exception of this shimmering when one would expect to see a dialog box.
I restarted my computer several times since and searched the net to find answers, but it seems I'm the only one afflicted.
I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.
I ran scandisk and check sfc, but that did not help. Instead of trying a system restore, I tried the opposite: installed at every possible update available.

Here is the program I use to create PDF files: http://pdf-redirect.en.softonic.com/ , it installs as if it were another printer.
I use XP Pro SP 3 and I'm having a problem with moving the files from one folder to another, no matter where the folder or files. If I try to move a file, it crashes and it cannot be opened or used. If I move a folder, then crashes all the contents of the folder, and I can't even open the folder, it tells me access is denied, this nothing else. If I try to delete the file, then I get a prompt to error telling me that the file or folder is not accessible, and that access is denied and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If I try to move the files corrupt in another folder, this time I get the message "Unable to move or replace" the file in question and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If it is a document as a text file, then I can open the file and there is a prompt indicating that access is denied. I can then use the text document and save something, but if I close the document and then try to reopen it, all the changes are lost.
It is not this problem if I move the files to an external device or disk drive.
I am running as an administrator.
Right now, if I need to move a file, I copy it to its destination, which is possible and then delete the original file. With the help of a release program was the only way I could delete these files, which could no longer be used.
1. do you have this problem started recently?
2. click on "all programs".
4. click on "system tools."
5. click on "system restore."
6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.
I just installed Windows 7 64 bit on a new machine. I have an Epson Perfection 3200 scanner but Epson does not deliver a 64-bit TWAIN driver, which is not very friendly to them. I don't want to have to buy Vuescan, just to get a pilot. Can I use 32-bit Epson installation?
Please contact Microsoft Community. I understand that you want to know if you can install the driver for the Scanner 32-bit on 64-bit Windows 7 operating system. I will surely help you this question.
All devices devices need 64-bit drivers to work on a 64-bit version of Windows. Drivers designed for 32-bit versions of Windows do not work on computers running 64-bit Windows versions.
However, you try to install all available updates Windows including optional updates and see if there is a 64 bit version of scanner drivers are available. If this isn't the case, you will need to purchase VueScan from Hamrick Software as suggested in the Web of Support of Epson site or check with the help of Epson if they have other alternative suggestions.
Hope this information helps. If you need more assistance or information on this question, reply to this message. I'll be happy to help you.

Ann Horst-Person's "The Devil's Departure" premiered at the Dillon's Nirvana theater club restaurant in NYC this past Sunday, the 7th of January, at 245 West 54th St., to an enthusiastic crowd of savvy New Yorkers, in on the secret (to the general public) that the events of 9/11/01 were a staged false flag terror attack instigated by obscure powers affiliated with the government who, though not in league with the Devil, have instead outdone him.
The playwright Ms. Horst-Person's husband Carl Person attempted to run for New York Attorney General of New York in the last election with the intention of investigating the 9/11 crimes. He was unable to get on the ballot because of very strict New York laws regarding 3rd party candidates.

In February 2015 David Mejia-Canales and Ron Killeen were invited to create a talk radio segment as part of a Saturday morning breakfast program called Hootville.
David is a lawyer and legal educator – and a bloody good one – while Ron is a former Detective Senior Constable with Victoria Police. Together, the close friends / arch-enemies developed a program called Prima Facie: a fast-paced look at the week's law and order news, from the point-of-view of a former police officer and a practising solicitor.
Police and solicitors traditionally enjoy an adversarial, sometimes fractious relationship. This is almost always the fault of solicitors. In fact, it's widely regarded that over 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name. By contrast, police are completely blameless, highly professional and entirely incorruptible.
With no shortage of sensationalist news headlines, David and Ron jumped head-first into arguing about human rights issues, amendments to weapons legislation, the counter-terrorism debate, domestic violence initiatives, the prevalence of CCTV in our community, metadata and everything else that makes a good Herald Sun headline.
Sadly, Hootville was taken off-air in May 2015. But David and Ron have continued making Prima Facie. This is its new home, in fact. We'll keep bringing you a fortnightly podcast packed full of gritty police drama with the inevitable legal red tape.
Why not follow along at home, watch David's entertaining videos, and even throw us a few sheckels over on Patreon?

Modi to interact with BJP workers from Varanasi on Jan 18
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with Bharatiya Janata Party members from Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi on January 18, the party said on Saturday.
This will be Modi's first political programme involving party workers after the Election Commission announced the schedule for the elections to five state assemblies, including Uttar Pradesh.
Sources said it is likely to be a virtual interaction.
The Twitter handle of the BJP's Uttar Pradesh unit shared the programme's schedule and asked people to share their ideas and suggestions for it through the NaMo app.
Announcing the Assembly elections, the Election Commission has banned public meetings and roadshows till January 15 because of the surging COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant and will spell out its future guidelines later in the day on Saturday. -- PTI
India's drug regulator has given permission to Bharat Biotech to conduct phase-3 clinical trial for its intranasal Covid vaccine as booster dose on participants who have been previously inoculated with SARS-CoV 2 vaccines.

Q: How to update checkbox values using user input I am trying to have a piece of code that displays data from table, saves the data inside a checkbox which, if selected, posts it forward. But I am stuck on a problem with trying to select a different amount of quantity than the original, it will always select the maximum amount due to the checkbox being set to stone when the page is loaded, can I update the checkbox values in some way? The checkbox code looks like this:
$order = wc_get_order( $ordernumber );

  foreach ($order->get_items() as $item ){

    $unitprice = $item->get_total() / $item->get_quantity();

       echo "<input type='checkbox' name='productinfo[]' value='" . " " . $item->get_name() . "  ,  " . $item->get_quantity() . " units" . " | " . $item->get_total() ."'>";

and this displays a choice of amount for quantities of 2 and more:
  if($item->get_quantity() > 1) {
                echo "Amount: " . "<input type='number' name='numberqty' value='" . $item->get_quantity() . "'max='" .$item->get_quantity() . "' min='1' > " . "
";
              }

this is how it's displayed on the site itself: (note, from top to bottom they mean "Product name" "Amount" "unit price" "total price of the products")
After selecting the desired checkboxes the user would press a button that would direct them to the next site with the selected products from the earlier page
if 2 is selected by the user here I want the number on the next page be 2, and if 1 is selected then it would be 1. But right now even if 2 is selected, it will display 3 on the next page instead of the desired 2.
is there a way to make this work by updating the given amount into the checkbox value that was set before?
edit: as per request, for clearing up what I want it to do is. To allow me to select a quantity with input type number inside an already defined checkbox made with foreach, which saves the data inside the checkbox manually, the goal is to allow updating the value of the checkbox into one with the new quantity, which is set originally in this piece of code:
$quant = $item->get_quantity();
echo "<input type='checkbox' name='productinfo[]' value='" . " " . $item->get_name() . "  ,  " . $quant . " kpl" . " | " . $item->get_total() ."'>";

here is the full code of pages 2 and 3.

        </form>

    <?php

  }

?>

A: First off, let's "optimize" your toggle() function:

*

*function toggle(source) {
  // 1. Define `checkboxes` and `i` as local variables using the `var`
  // keyword.
  var checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('productinfo[]'), i;

  // 2. I also "simplified" your `for` expression - no extra "n" here.
  for (i=0; i<checkboxes.length; i++) {
    checkboxes[i].checked = source.checked;
  }
}

or why not use jQuery:
function toggle(source) {
  jQuery( ':checkbox[name="productinfo[]"]' )
    .prop( 'checked', source.checked );
}

Now, pick and try one of these options, or both:
Solution 1: JavaScript + PHP
I could see that you tried to use the checkboxupdate() function to dynamically update the checkbox value — or more precisely, the quantity that the user inputted in the quantity field. But it doesn't work because there are no elements with the id of numberqty and secondly, the PHP variable of $item there is undefined and will cause a fatal error. (And even if you got these fixed, you'll still need to adjust the code to make it actually works.)
Note that this and the other solution are based on your format for the checkbox value — note the space at the beginning: {item name}  ,  {quantity} kpl | {total price}.

*

*On step #2, in the foreach loop, apply these changes:
foreach ($order->get_items() as $item ){
  // 1. Wrap the item inside this `div`.
  echo '
';

  ... your code here ...
  // 2. For the quantity field, replace the name='numberqty' with
  //    class='numberqty'. I.e. use `class` instead of `name`.
  if($item->get_quantity() > 1) {
    echo "Määrä: " . "<input type='number' class='numberqty' value='" . $quant . "'max='" . $quant . "' min='1' > " . "
";

  }
  ... your code here ...

  // 3. Make sure to close the `div`.
  echo '
';
}

*Then use this checkboxupdate() which utilizes jQuery:
function checkboxupdate() {
  jQuery( ':checkbox[name="productinfo[]"]' ).each( function() {
    var $order_item = jQuery( this ).closest( '.order-item' ),
      $qty = $order_item.find( 'input.numberqty' );

    if ( $qty.length ) {
      jQuery( this ).val( this.value.replace(
        /\d+ (kpl \| [0-9\.]+)$/,
        ( $qty.val() || 1 ) + ' $1'
      ) );
    }
  });
}

*And if necessary (because your $name below already contains the quantity), on step #3, in the for loop, you can get the quantity (without the unit or the text kpl) like so:
for($i=0; $i < sizeof($test); $i++) {
  list($name, $total) = explode("|", $test[$i]);

  // 1. Retrieve the preferred refund quantity.
  list( $name2, $quantity ) = explode( ' , ', $name );
  $quantity = intval( $quantity ); // strips the " kpl"
  echo 'The quantity: ' . $quantity . '
'; // test

  ... your code here ...
}

And for the button which calls the checkboxupdate() function, make sure that the button type is set properly — if you don't, it defaults to a submit button, and clicking on it will submit the form instead of just updating the checkbox value:
<button onclick='checkboxupdate()' type="button">kokeile</button>

or append return false; to the onclick attribute to prevent the default action:
<button onclick='checkboxupdate(); return false'>kokeile</button>

Solution 2: PHP-only
Note that this is just one of the different ways you can bring the quantity selected on to the next page (or from step #2 to step #3). And with this option, you would just ignore the checkboxupdate() and the button that calls the function.

*

*Make these changes in the foreach loop on step #2:
// 1. Add the `$i => `
foreach ($order->get_items() as $i => $item ){
  ... your code here ...

  // 2. Add the `; $i` to the value - at the end.
  echo "<input type='checkbox' name='productinfo[]' value='" . " " . // wrapped
    $item->get_name() . "  ,  " . $quant . " kpl" . " | " . $item->get_total() ."; $i'>";
  ... your code here ...
  // 3. Change the `name` to numberqty[ $i ].
  if($item->get_quantity() > 1) {
    echo "Määrä: " . "<input type='number' name='numberqty[" . $i . "]' value='" // wrapped
      . $quant . "'max='" . $quant . "' min='1' > " . "
";

  }
  ... your code here ...

}

Or just remove the "  ,  " . $quant . " kpl" . from the productinfo field, where the markup would be:
echo "<input type='checkbox' name='productinfo[]' value='" . " " . // wrapped
  $item->get_name() . " | " . $item->get_total() ."; $i'>";

*Before the for loop on step #3, add the $qty_array variable as you can see below, then make the other changes inside that loop:
// 1. Retrieve all the POSTed numberqty values.
$qty_array = isset( $_POST['numberqty'] ) ? (array) $_POST['numberqty'] : array();

for($i=0; $i < sizeof($test); $i++) {
  list($name, $total) = explode("|", $test[$i]);

  // 2. Retrieve the preferred refund quantity.
  list( $total, $index ) = explode( '; ', $total );
  $quantity = isset( $qty_array[ $index ] ) ? intval( $qty_array[ $index ] ) : 1;
  echo 'The quantity: ' . $quantity . '
'; // test

  // 3. Update the quantity in the item *name*.
  list( $name ) = explode( ' , ', $name );
  $name .= ' , ' . $quantity . ' kpl';

  echo 'Nimi: ' . $name . '
';
  ... your code here ...
}

If you removed the "  ,  " . $quant . " kpl" . from the productinfo field, ignore the following list():
//list( $name ) = explode( ' , ', $name ); // purposely commented out

And that's really all you need, no custom JavaScript necessary.

Q: Why is a current signal preferred to a voltage signal for long analog transmission? Some sensors act like current sources, and I have seen it several times, especially for very long wires even at outdoors like wind vanes. 4-20 mA current loops are used instead of 0-10 V voltage for instance.
What can be the physical explanation for this? How is current more advantageous?
(I'm also wondering in terms of EMI interference whether a current loop signal is more immune and why.)
Please explain this concept by using circuit diagrams, voltage current sources with some components. How common mode interference is coupled in both cases, etc. and why a current loop is immune to noise.
EDIT:
After reading the answers, here is what I understand(click to see the simulation diagrams and corresponding plots):

I apply common mode Vcm interference in all scenarios.
In the first top figure a current source with 1Giga Ohm impedance is transmitted via an unbalanced/inbalanced cable and even the receiver is single ended the output is immune to noise. (1G Ohm makes the noise small, the lesser this Rcur the more the noise at receiver)
In the middle figure a voltage source is transmitted via an unbalanced cable and the receiver is single ended, the output is very noisy.
In the bottom figure a voltage source is transmitted via a balanced cable and the receiver is differential-ended, and common mode noise is eliminated.
Is my conclusion/simulation correct to represent this question?

A: Current signalling has different advantages in different situations, so there are several different answers.
In the case of low frequency signalling.
A constant current source (sender) has a very high impedance (and a CV one has a very low impedance). So when you put fairly high series resistance in, it has no effect: the CC source is already super high, what effect is a few hundred/thousand extra ohms going to make? Likewise when you couple noise into the cable (C1,2) the high source R means that both wires go up and down together - it is common mode noise and has no effect on the current. Meanwhile the receive end has a low R. This damps down any capacitively coupled noise, and is robust.
A voltage system is the opposite. The source should have very low impedance. Series R is going to matter. The  rx needs to be very high input impedance or you get a voltage divider. It will capacitively pickup noise, and will be prone to damage.
Capacitively injected noise flows through RSource, and you get differential voltages at the receiver.

In the case of high frequency signalling (e.g video)
The current loop has basically constant voltage on both sides of the cable. Therefore capacitance across the cable does not pass any current, and does not have any effect. The signal is immune to cable C, and is immune to extra C added to protect from noise and emi. Much less power is used as C does not have to be driven.

A: Actually what matters for immunity against noise is the power that is needed
to disturb the singal.
I.e. a current signal at an input with nearly zero impedance is just as bad as
a voltage signal at an input with nearly infinite impedance.
What is needed is a receiver with non-zero as well as non-infinite impedance so that the signal involves some power.
I.e.

*

*if the information is coded as voltage, there still should be some current flowing into the receiver and

*if the information is coded as current, there still should be some voltage across the receiver.

So both cases are similar, but you just have decide whether is is better to code the signal
as voltage or as current (another alternative would be coded as power).
For measurement purposes voltage or current signals are most appropriate.
A good wire for a current signal just needs to ensure that no current is lost (or inserted),
i.e. ideally no leakage, i.e. perfect isolation. This can be accomplished in practice quite well.
A good wire for a voltage signal needs to ensure that no voltage is lost,
i.e. ideally no voltage drop, perfect conductance along the wire.
Unless you are using a superconductor this is almost impossible to accomplish in practice.

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
In any case receiver resistance should be well above 0 and well below infinity.
It's easy to have the isolation resistance practically infinite.
It's practically impossible to have the series resistance 0.
Therefore if the signal has to be sent down some distance along a wire it is better to
use a current signal than a voltage signal.

A: As far as I'm concerned, these are the two main reasons for choosing current loops in several cases:

*

*You don't care about the length/resistance of your wires. You can change a 3m wire to a 50m one, changing its resistance, the signal will be the same (as long as the source can deliver enough voltage/power, of course).

*You can detect damage and failure. If you get 0mA, either you sensor or your wire is broken. With voltage loops is not that easy to figure out.

About EMI, it won't affect most of the times. EMI usually comes at (very) high frequencies, way faster than your signal changes, so you can filter it.
Also, it seems this is related to the old pneumatic controls systems, where 3-15psi range was used.

A: Current is great in that it is equal at all parts of a conductor. I.e. if you are pushing in 15 mA from one side, the other side is seeing 15 mA even if it is 200 m away. This is very easy to sense and makes data transmission reliable.
The same is not true for voltage. If your conductor has a high impedance and has electrical interference, then your input voltage signal will degrade and a valid voltage may not reach the other side.
The noise immunity comes from the fact that current loops are a low impedance system. See here why this matters: Why are high impedance circuits more sensitive to noise?

A: Something else to remember regarding analogue signals is the ability to then integrate the HART communication protocol. HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transmitter) is a digital signal which is overlaid on top of the analogue signal allowing for additional information to be sent via the same wiring. Most smart industrial instruments nowadays operate with HART capability. So the benefits are far greater than just voltage drop and EMI.


for you will be filled.
for you have received your consolation.
for you will be hungry.
What, it's a sin to be rich, well nourished, or happy? No, the question is the system or order of life to which we are attached. Do we favor and defend the status quo in which relatively few prosper and even fewer prosper exorbitantly, or will we welcome a change that brings about a new set of conditions in which abundance is shared, in which cooperation replaces competition for life's benefits and from which privilege and dominion are gone?
All Jesus' teachings come attached to and dependent upon his announcement of the in-breaking of the reign of God, and the promise of that coming reign continues to guide his followers as the vanishing point that gives perspective to all of life, the "north" pole which draws all individual and social compass needles toward itself. Blessed are those whose hopes and values align with that promise, who want for this world and its people what Jesus declares God wants for them. Blessed are those who welcome the kingdom wherever and whenever it pushes its way into life and disrupts the status quo of injustices and gross inequities.
Here's a flaw in our understanding of Christianity's newer Testament. In two of the synoptic gospels, Mark and Luke, this in-breaking reign of justice and compassion is called the kingdom of God, but Matthew follows Jewish piety by not naming God directly. When in my former pastorate we prepared the bulletin for the interfaith Thanksgiving service, the rabbi would put in the Jewish parts of the service the word God as G-d to avoid even that much of a graven image and show special reverence for the name. So, in the Gospel of Matthew, the kingdom of God is rendered in Jesus' teachings as the "kingdom of heaven," but the teachings are still for this world and not some other. The word heaven simply stands in for the word God; it does not direct our attention away from this world's people or its systems and structures, either.
Much of Christianity has made the goal of faith to be getting us into heaven when we die, but the goal of the gospel, the good news, is to get heaven (God) into our lives and our world. The transformation is to occur here and now. Justice must come upon us on the ground these days, not up in the clouds some day. I am not denying our resurrection hope, but that's another matter. Justice postponed is justice denied here and now. If our lives are oriented in faith, hope, and love toward God's reign on earth, our beyond-death hopes will be taken care of, but the time for change toward justice is now.
for you will be given victory.
for you are losing and don't know it.
The kingdom of God comes to heal and restore but also to bring forth justice on earth. To it belong both restorative justice and distributive justice.

"If there is a bear."
John Dickerson writes about Hillary Clinton's children sleeping ad:
The new Clinton ad tries to ... [expand] the group of voters who care most about experience. Remember, it's a dangerous world.
The Bush campaign never ran an ad like this when it was accused of scare-mongering during the 2004 campaign. (They preferred using animals.) Perhaps that's why Clinton campaign staffers have to insist they are not trying to frighten voters. While coyness is annoying, the essential question the ad asks is a fair one: Which of the candidates do you trust to keep his or her head when everyone around them is lighting theirs on fire, and at a time when your kid's safety could be on the line?
At "animals," Dickerson links to this Bush ad:
YouTube wisely serves up this other ad:
I wonder how dangerous the world would need to be before I wouldn't laugh at "If there is a bear"?
Anyway, it's interesting, isn't it? Democrats try to scare you with children and Republicans try to scare you with animals.

Bears like children; they think that they're delicious!
Speaking of bears:
The president of the United States was mad over all the bad intelligence he was constantly getting. He decided to test all the intel agencies to see how good they really were.
He gathered the FBI, the CIA, and for a ringer two grizzled, old, cigar chomping detectives from the Chicago Police Department as ringers.
The test- find a rabbit in the forest. The CIA went in first. They co-opted the animals, hired spies, used every single piece of satellite and communication technology available. After one week, they determined that the rabbit did not exist, and there were indications that there never were any rabbits to begin with. Rabbits were a myth, like the Easter Bunny.
The FBI went in next. They hired animal informants, blanketed the forest with agents, and brought in the Hostage Rescue Team. One of the snipers accidently killed a hedgehog. They blasted the forest with noise, loud music, and finally tear gas; anything to get the rabbit to surrender. They finally burned the forest down, killing everything in it. In their report, they determined that if there was a rabbit, he was now dead and he deserved it.
Then the cops went in. Fifteen minutes later they came out of what was left of the woods. They were dragging a huge badly beaten bear. The bear kept crying out- ok, ok, I'm a rabbit, I'm a rabbit.

"I wonder how dangerous the world would need to be before I wouldn't laugh at "If there is a bear"?"
Interestingly, the first sentence of the spot is "There is a bear in the woods." It's understood.
And if you look closely at the last scene, the man appears to have a rifle over his shoulder.
The bear is still dangerous, though perhaps not as much as in past.
It was just a few weeks ago that a Russian bomber buzzed a US aircraft carrier. Putin held a cheerless meeting with Rice and Gates in Moscow last fall. Rice earlier said, ""I think everybody around the world, in Europe, in the United States, is very concerned about the internal course that Russia has taken in recent years...The concentration of power in the Kremlin has been troubling" especially since Russia is due to hold presidential and parliamentary elections next year."
Okay, I'll bite. Why would you laugh at the line, "If there is a bear?"
joe said..."I am just curious if there is any line of criticism or questioning of Saint O that will be considered legitimate."
Did you read the Farrakhan post?
Did you read the post where I said O took the low road about McCain's citizenship?
That's just in the last few days.
Get a clue. I've been hard on all the candidates.
Scroll through just what's currently on the front page, then come back here and apologize, Joe.
I loved the Russian Bear commercial.
Subtle and effective. And I always laugh at the last line because it mocks the lefties who denied there was a "bear in the woods".
I'm waiting for Obama's version of the "little girl and the Daisy" commercial against the Mad bomber.

I'm really not sure why you laughed either, Prof. A. Maybe just because "if there is a bear?" seems like a silly, rhetorical question for the voice-over to be asking when the image on the screen clearly shows a real, live bear? Or because you think/thought that the symbolic danger of the metaphorical Bear (the Soviet Union) was being overplayed?
The Bear in the Woods commercial was part of Reagan's 1984 campaign against Mondale, not the 1980 campaign against Carter. In 1980, the Bear had just invaded Afghanistan. There wasn't much doubt that there was a Bear in 1980, and our then-president was busy standing up tall in opposing it -- by boycotting the Moscow Olympics, which certainly had those Soviets shivering in their bootskis.
By 1984, however, fellow travelers had had considerable success in selling the meme that the real danger to the world was ... Ronald Reagan, who then was in the process of deploying medium range Pershing II missiles into western Europe to match Soviet medium-range SS-20 missile deployments in eastern Europe. Like the "we had Saddam in his box" meme, there was a genuine attempt going on in 1984 to argue that the Soviets weren't dangerous, but that anyone like Reagan who suggested we be prepared to counter them was very dangerous. And there were huge anti-Reagan (and anti-American) parades and rallies, mostly in Europe but some in the U.S., many either organized or at least encouraged by the KGB.
I recall smiling at the commercial when it ran, but what I was smiling at was the incredible naïveté of anyone who could doubt that there was (still) a Bear. There were many doubters then; now those same people and their successors in a new generation continue to doubt, or at least downplay the menace from, this era's new threats. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are two of them.

I'm waiting for Hillary's bear in the woods ad.
Great symbolism there - big scary black/brown thing in the woods waiting to eat your children.
Yes, more White racist imagery designed to play to your deep neuronal codes that construct "blackness/brownness" as the "Other" within the hegemonic gaze of the White , Western racist, sexist, homophobic, phallocentric, gynophobic, imperialist, Zionist culture of domination and death.
Just as a side not if you're ever deep in the woods remember - wolves are your friends, bears are you enemy. Always!
At work on Friday, a lot of people had seen the Clinton video and were commenting on it. So it was effective. Some of the comments:
If it was Obama's hotline, it would go through cheerful voicemail.
"If you would first like to hear an uplifting speech of hope and change from the Orator himself = Press 1"
"Habla Espnanol con Presidente Obama, nuero dos, por favor"
"If you wish to be directly inspired by President Obama, press 3"
"If you are a Muslim and calling at 3AM to confirm plans with the President, ensure you are on a secure, encrypted line."
A racy middle age female coworker -
"It's creepy. Shes fully made up, dressed, and wearing a pearl necklace at 3 AM. No woman is made up and dressed like that then. And the only ones wearing pearl necklaces in bed are women whose guys pulled out to soon."
My Director - "Any of you remember the Russian Bear Ad?"
Me - "High school I think I saw it. It was good. I don't think you can use an animal symbol these days though, on an enemy."
Director - "Maybe if Bush had used an animal symbol he would have sold his wars better."
Other guy - "Name a good animal to symbolize menacing Chinese and Muslims that wouldn't be instantly called racist. "
[Silence]
The is a bear in the woods..and he needs to take a shit...where will he go...will he shit in your lunch..in your camp site...or will he come to your car and shit there...you see, he might be a dumb animal...but he won't shit where he lives...some people won't see the shit...other people won't smell the shit...but Barack Obama will step in the shit...because he is just a lucky guy that way...so vote for Barack Obama because he will step in the shit so your childern won't have to...
I am Barack Obama, and I approved this shit...I mean this message.
(Hey did you see that ad from Hillary were she spelled out Pickaninie in a bowl of Campbell's alphabet soup, what's up with that shit)
Using children in political adds? No one has mentioned the best one, used by the Dems in the 1964 election: a little girl, picking petals off of flowers with an image of Goldwater's H-bomb exploding in the reflection of her eye.
Yea, that ad got us 4 more years of Johnson.

Beldar said..."I'm really not sure why you laughed either, Prof. A. Maybe just because "if there is a bear?" seems like a silly, rhetorical question for the voice-over to be asking when the image on the screen clearly shows a real, live bear?"
The commercial starts "There is a bear in the woods"... then there's all this serious stuff... and it ends "if there is a bear." Why the doubt? I think the inflection could have been different and "if there is a bear" would have seemed to mean "because there is a bear" instead of "in case there is a bear." So it's the words and the inflection inserting incongruous doubt.
Also, Trooper York reminds me of why the commercial seems so funny from the first line. I can't hear "There's a bear in the woods" without thinking "Does a bear shit in the woods?" Then all the bear's wandering around after that seems to be a hilarious search for a place to go.
Well professor it's like the famous Polish joke:
Is a Bear Catholic?
Does the Pope shit in the Woods?
If a bear shit in the woods, would Hillary still be right?
Then there is the Charmin (not charming) commercial about bears and TP .....and well, you know.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=styCsH87qqw
That's why the ad is so wonderful. It has a fairy tale unreality about it...the calm voice..the heart-beat drum....the lumbering beast...the face-off at the end...you feel like a child in a cozy warm bed being tucked in by a strong, wise, and caring daddy. He's telling you how the world is and that he will keep you safe.
Remember the great story Leslie Stahl told...."Nobody heard what you said..."
Reagan and Deaver knew how to reach people. Too bad ol' Hollywood Fred Thompson's out of the game....
Also, notice at the very end...the bear, faced by the armed unyielding American, appears unsure, stops, and retreats. Nice.
Well, I am humor deficient, but the final line, "if there is a bear" always seemed to me to be a sort of an element to a syllogism.
There's a bear in the woods and we must be prepared if there is a bear in the woods.
But I do agree with always having a first reaction of thinking the bear is looking for a place to do what bears do. That's probably intentional, too. The scatalogical reference would trigger a reaction and cause the viewer to notice the ad.
Thanks for the gracious reply, and perhaps I'm quibbling, Prof. A. I just wonder if you've forgotten those times.
Democrats in America, including Mondale and his campaign, were asserting that Reagan was being unnecessarily provocative, and that the Soviets weren't the risk he was making them out to be. Some in America, and many, many in Europe, were arguing that Reagan and America were the risks to world peace (which would miraculously appear if only we would "give it a chance" and "visualize it"). They were arguing, entirely seriously, that there was no Bear.
The ostensible point of the commercial was to say: Even if there's no threat from the Soviets, we ought to be prepared for one. But the "if there is a bear" line in the commercial was, as rcocean (2:41pm) wrote, gently mocking the lefties who were in denial.
When you ask "how dangerous the world would need to be before I wouldn't laugh" at that line, it seems to me you're putting yourself in the camp that the ad was mocking. Maybe you were, then -- were you a Mondale voter? did you think Reagan was a war-monger who was moving us toward Armageddon by deploying the Pershing IIs? Because it was that issue, very specifically, and the larger question of Reagan's across-the-board military buildup to match the Soviets -- which we now know was the proximate cause of the fall of the Soviet Union -- that this commercial was addressed to.
Looking back, with the benefit of hindsight, do you now think there was really no Bear in 1984, and that if we'd continued cutting our military forces and following a Carteresque diplomacy, the Soviet Union would disbanded anyway and world peace would have blossomed? That would surprise me a great deal.
Well, darn, let me extend and revise those remarks. Re-reading one of the 1984 presidential debates, I'm reminded that Mondale ostensibly supported the Pershing II deployment (and took flak from his party members about it). He opposed, however, the MX mobile missile and the B-1 bomber, along with much of the rest of Reagan's arms build-up.
Beldar said..."...I just wonder if you've forgotten those times.

Sure, I remember. I was one of them!

Whatever the actual situation was, it's not explained by showing a bear. Whether the threat was real or fake, the bear was ridiculous. And then to go through all that and end up with "if there is a bear"... I'm sorry, that will always seem funny to me.

I wonder if anyone could get his endorsement. Maybe McCain, they're the same age.
Ann, take it easy. I was not referring to you or this blog, I meant the general media fawning over O. Anytime there is criticism about his lack of experience, his empty platitudes delivered in ringing evangelical style, or any facet of Obama, there is a media backlash to the effect that it is unfair.
I read your blog daily and I am aware that you are pretty equally critical of all candidates.
I will try to be more precise in the future.

Odd, because "if there is a bear" seems to be an arch reference to those who doubt the bear's existence.

HomeFast Forward: Quick reads through a Jewish lens
Mueller Now Investigating Kushner's Ties With Foreign Financing
February 20, 2018 By Nathan Guttman
The ever-expanding investigation into Russia's involvement in the 2016 election now reportedly includes also a probe of Jared Kushner's businesses and finances.
According to CNN, special counsel Robert Mueller and his team are looking into Kushner's efforts to find foreign investors to help salvage the family business's failed 666 Fifth Avenue real-estate deal. The Kushner Companies bought the building in 2007 for $1.8 billion in a deal heavily reliant on loans. Their investment has since taken a hit, leading the Kushners to seek buyers for parts of the project.
Mueller is reportedly focusing on meetings and conversations Kushner held during the presidential transition period with Chinese and Qatari investors. The investigation team has not provided comment about Mueller's interest in Kushner's financial dealings, but CNN's report could indicate a suspicion of violating conflict of interest rules, since Kushner served as President Trump's foreign policy point man during the transition while still being involved in some of his family businesses.
Kushner's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, claimed CNN's report was false. "In all of Mr. Kushner's extensive cooperation with all inquiries, there has not been a single question asked nor document sought on the 666 building or Kushner Co. deals," he said. "Nor would there be any reason to question these regular business transactions."

Kitchen Cookware
Updated July 30, 2021 by Christopher Thomas
The 10 Best Induction Pan Sets
This wiki has been updated 26 times since it was first published in May of 2016. Induction stovetops are among the more interesting culinary developments of the last century, because they use electricity and magnetism rather than open flames. This makes for very safe, consistent, and efficient cooking, but you'll need the right pans for the process to work properly. One of these cookware sets will fit the bill nicely, even if you don't want to spend a lot. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.
1. Cuisinart Multiclad Pro
Available with your choice of four or six pans, the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro (appx. $179) feature heavy bottoms, durable riveting, and a nonreactive stainless alloy. Even though this is a high-quality set that will last for years, it's also relatively affordable.
Triple-ply design
Tight-fitting steel lids
Safe for the dishwasher
2. Calphalon Tri-Ply
Good for everyday tasks such as searing, simmering, and boiling, the Calphalon Tri-Ply (appx. $300) includes 8- and 10-inch omelette pans, 1-1/2- and 2-1/2-quart saucepans, and a large 6-quart stock pot, all of which are made with two fused layers of metal.
Tempered glass lids
Magnetic-alloy exteriors
Heavy-duty construction
3. T-fal C515SC
Each of the 12 pans that make up the T-fal C515SC (around $94) boast patented Thermo-spot indicators that show when they're preheated and ready to use. Their silicone handles provide a secure grip while also remaining at a cool temperature.
Vented glass lids
Effective nonstick coating
Won't be damaged by metal utensils
July 30, 2021:
We haven't majorly altered our rankings here recently because we're confident that our current selections are still great choices. In particular, the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro offers just about the most bang for the buck. It's not made from quite as high-quality of materials as the All-Clad D3 package, but in reality, the vast majority of cooks won't notice a difference in performance. Alternatively, if you like nonstick pans, the T-fal C515SC set is an excellent choice made with hard-anodized aluminum that won't release any dangerous fumes.
Today we added in the Tramontina Gourmet, which are made in Brazil with precision-cast riveted handles, as well as a polished mirror-like finish. The set's six pots and pans each come with a coordinating, precision-fitted stainless steel lid. (A matching skillet is sold separately.) All pieces are covered under the company's lifetime warranty. This set replaces the NuWave Duralon, which is difficult to find anywhere at this time. We also replaced the Le Creuset 14-Piece with the more readily available Le Creuset Toughened Pro set, which comes with two frying pans and four pots with lids. All of them feature fully encapsulated aluminum cores and stainless steel bases that allow for even heat distribution. They're made with a textured interior coating that not only browns and sears food nicely, but also is quick and easy to clean. Their upgraded design incorporates a triple-reinforced PFOA-free surface that is four times stronger than previously. Stay-cool ergonomic handles allow for comfortable use. They're backed by both a 90-day money-back guarantee and a lifetime warranty.
We kept the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro in the top spot, as their sturdy construction is made to hold up for decades, while they're actually relatively affordable. They boast heavy-duty bottoms, durable riveting, and tightly fitting lids. The Calphalon Tri-Ply also retain a high position on the list, and they're great for common cooking tasks like searing and boiling. You'll receive two frying pans, two saucepans, and a six-quart stockpot. All of the pots come with durable tempered glass lids. For a staple that's used in kitchens throughout the country, look to the All-Clad D3, which feature heavy construction with thick, aluminum cores. Their surfaces are nonreactive and easy to clean, and they're suitable for use in the broiler.
Induction cooktops are safer and cook far more quickly than gas and electric ranges, but they do have a couple drawbacks. Because the pan only gets hot when it's sitting directly on the burner, you can't quite use all of the same techniques that you might normally try out on a quality gas burner. More importantly, because induction burners work so well, it's easier to overheat pans, which adds even more to the eternal "nonstick vs. stainless" debate. Either way, with induction, you have to pay close attention to the pan's heat, because it can spike rapidly. Steel can discolor, warp, and causing major sticking if it suddenly hits 600 degrees Fahrenheit, so you want to make sure you get good equipment if you're using stainless. All-Clad is known as a quality brand, as is the popular Cuisinart. You can get by with something inexpensive, but it will require even more care and attention to keep it in good shape.
If you prefer to go with nonstick, The T-Fal and Circulon are both great choices that look like traditional nonstick pans but are actually made with anodized aluminum that's highly resistant to damage and flaking. Alternately, the NuWave uses a modified ceramic coating that doesn't perform quite as well as old-school Teflon, but is completely inert and safe to cook with. In fact, if you have birds in your home and want some nonstick pans, we'd recommend the NuWave set because it is completely bird-safe.
Either way, in order to keep your pots and pans (and really, all of your kitchen equipment) in good working order, make sure to practice good technique. Stainless, in particular, requires a little bit more know-how to prevent sticking and burning. But if you pay attention to what you're doing and read recipes thoroughly, you should have no problem.
Open Kitchen Stainless-Steel Cookware Set This 10-piece set is safe for use on any stovetop, including induction, and the components are also conveniently dishwasher safe. Their lightweight three-layer construction features a thick aluminum core for an even transfer of heat. Included are commonly used sizes of two frying pans, two saucepans, a sauté pan, and a stockpot. The handles are designed for optimal comfort and control, and the polished exteriors are both durable and easy to clean. You can purchase them with confidence, since they're backed by a lifetime warranty. williams-sonoma.com
4. Tramontina Gourmet
The 12 pieces of the Tramontina Gourmet (about $260) are crafted with precision-cast riveted handles and polished to an elegant mirror-like finish. They're made in Brazil and designed to stand up to many years of cooking, even in the most demanding of kitchens.
Resistant to scorching
Backed by a lifetime warranty
Matching skillet sold separately
5. All-Clad D3
A staple of restaurant kitchens across the country, the All-Clad D3 (about $675) features components that conduct heat evenly throughout their entire bodies, thanks to thick aluminum cores. The heavy construction and long-term durability make them well worth the high price.
Six pans and four lids
Nonreactive easy-to-clean surfaces
Suitable for use in a broiler
6. Le Creuset Toughened Pro
The fully encapsulated aluminum core and stainless steel bases on the Le Creuset Toughened Pro (around $595) allow for even heat distribution, no matter the stovetop. Their textured interior coating is both easy to clean and ensures your food will brown nicely.
Pfoa-free nonstick surfaces
Handles stay cool to the touch
Convenient hanging holes
7. Duxtop Whole-Clad
The Duxtop Whole-Clad (around $170) is a reasonably affordable collection with a three-ply construction. They're built to last quite a while, as long as you remember to keep them clean and dry when you're not using them, in order to prevent corrosion.
Rolled rims for easy pouring
Safe to go in the oven
Not very heavy-duty
8. Circulon Symmetry
Combining hard-anodized aluminum and a pattern of raised ridges that keeps food from getting stuck, the Circulon Symmetry (appx. $190) are as simple to cook with as they are to take care of. You can even use metal utensils without the worry of damaging the finish.
Comfortable ergonomic grips
Can be cleaned in the dishwasher
Only oven-safe to 400 degrees f
9. Cook N Home NC-00250
If you're outfitting a kitchen on a tight budget, take a look at the Cook N Home NC-00250 (appx. $58), which are made from an oven-safe material that's relatively easy to clean. They're not expensive, but their less-than-stellar construction means they may not last as long as most.
Also available with silicone grips
Polished to a mirror-like shine
Bottoms aren't very thick
10. Magma Products 360L
Great for the traveling chef or home cook with limited storage space, the Magma Products 360L (around $171) is capable of nesting into an area of less than 1/2 a cubic foot when not in use, and includes a bungee cord to keep all the components secure.
Comes with 3 saucepans
Flat milled bases
Lid handles get very hot
Inducted Into A New World Of Cooking
However, many of them can be used with electric, gas, and wood stoves as well.
Induction pans are specifically-designed to be compatible with induction stovetops. However, many of them can be used with electric, gas, and wood stoves as well. In order to qualify as an induction pan, the cookware must be made of stainless steel or other ferrous metal and have a flat bottom. If it is not made of a ferrous metal, it can still be considered induction cookware when equipped with an induction disk on its bottom.
Induction cooking is a faster, more efficient form of heating food than electric. It can be as precise as gas cooking, but is more energy-efficient and includes safety features such as automatic shutoff when the pan or other cookware is removed. It is much easier to control the temperature on an induction cook top than on an electric or wood stove top. There is much less risk of burning food with an induction cook top, and spills are incredibly easy to clean because they don't burn to the surface.
Even though an induction stovetop heats up more quickly, it cools down just as fast and transfers the heat only to the pan and the food inside. This is why it is possible to cook food on an induction cook top with paper or other flammable material because the stove will not ignite it. It is also an excellent option for homes with small children because it reduces the risk of a child touching a stove burner that has yet to cool after removing the cookware.
To Splurge Or Not To Splurge
It's best to determine if your chosen cookware is compatible with your cooking style and induction stovetop before purchasing. The higher cost cookware might be expensive in the beginning, but it's more likely to last in the long run. You can often choose between stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum.
It heats up quickly, changes temperature almost immediately, and will easily adjust to any changes you may need to make.
Your cooking style will go a long way in determining what type of induction pans you should get. If your cooking style is slow and steady, you will need pans with a heavy base. They will heat up more slowly, but they will produce more consistent heat. They're also ideal for cooking complicated meals requiring focused attention. In this case, you will want cast iron or an aluminum pan with an induction plate.
If you prefer faster cooking, go with stainless steel. It heats up quickly, changes temperature almost immediately, and will easily adjust to any changes you may need to make. However, also be aware that it's thinner at the base and can burn food easily if you don't keep your eye on it.
Don't purchase aluminum, glass, or copper pans unless they are fitted with induction plates or other magnetic material. Ceramic-clad pots and pans are okay, so long as there is magnetic iron embedded inside.
Finally, you need to consider the cost of the induction pan set. Some sets are very affordable with only a few pieces. These are great for someone who is new to induction cooking (or cooking in general) and simply needs something to get started. However, if you are an experienced chef or have a large family that you cook for often, you might want to go with a larger, longer-lasting set that is also dishwasher safe. Even the larger, more intricate sets can often be found at affordable prices, depending on the type and style you choose.
In general, you will likely need at least one skillet, one saute pan, one sauce pan, and one stock pot to get started. If you have an induction pan set that includes all of those items, you will be ready to use your induction stovetop in no time.
A Brief History of the Induction Pan Set
Induction cooking is a fairly new invention, dating back to only the early twentieth century. In the 1950s, Frigidaire created demonstration stoves in an attempt to generate interest in induction cooking technology. They used a pot of water and their induction cooker with a sheet of paper between them in order to demonstrate the heating technology and its safety features.
By the mid-1980's, Sears Kenmore began selling their own version of an induction cook top that included a self-cleaning oven, kitchen timer, and touch-control buttons.
However, it wasn't until the 1970's that induction cook tops were eventually put into production and made available to the general public. The Westinghouse Electric Corporation near Pittsburgh developed an induction cook top for display at the 1971 National Association of Home Builders convention in Houston, Texas. The company named it the Cool Top Induction Range and also produced a line of induction ranges for general sale named the Cool Top 2 Induction ranges. The company also produced a range of cookware that was compatible with its own stovetop.
By the mid-1980's, Sears Kenmore began selling their own version of an induction cook top that included a self-cleaning oven, kitchen timer, and touch-control buttons. Despite its efficiency and obvious convenience and safety features, induction cooking took a long time to catch on due to the high price of the stovetop units and cookware.
In 2009, Panasonic tried to solve this issue by developing an all-metal induction cooker that could be placed inside non-ferrous metals, essentially turning any metal into suitable induction cookware. Induction cook tops and cookware is now a lucrative market in both the United States and European nations. Even those consumers not currently using induction cook tops will often express their intention to upgrade in the future.

While women make up approximately 11% of total apprenticeships completed across Canada, their numbers are highly concentrated in traditionally female dominated industries within the Service skilled trades. More than two-thirds of these women completed apprenticeships in hairstyling. Likewise, of everyone who went into the food service industry, approximately 80% were women. In contrast, less than 3% of all apprentices in the Construction, Automotive and Manufacturing trades were women.
With 50% of our current trades people expected to retire in the next seven to ten years, Canada will face a huge challenge in finding replacement workers. This impending skills shortage in the trades means non-traditional jobs are opening up to women. Opportunities to enter into construction, mechanical and manufacturing occupations are becoming available to women in the same way that opportunities opened in the medical and legal professions in the '70s, and in the engineering technologies in the '80s and '90s. Pan-Canadian associations, National Sector Councils and major employers alike are beginning to identify women as one of the obvious labour pools on which to draw to solve the looming shortage. Keep in mind that women who work in these non-traditional trades occupations generally receive higher wages than women working in traditionally female dominated careers.
Although women may consider their physical strength to be a barrier to working in the skilled trades, brute strength is not a requirement for working in the trades. Tradeswomen quickly learn to use body mechanics for leverage to perform a difficult task or how to chose the proper equipment or tools to move a heavy object. Physical occupations present many challenges where the good balance and the smaller size that women usually have can be very advantageous. While there is certainly a physical component to most trades, technology has also changed the nature of how work gets done. Consider that work in many of the skilled trades increasingly uses computer software and mechanical equipment.
Are women ready to take up the challenge? The answer seems clear. There is a new wave of young women beginning to enter the workforce. They know that they have a right to work in jobs that they choose. They want to assert ownership of their place in the world. They want to experience the joys and rewards of physical work.


Take the stress and hassle out of entertaining by ordering delicious homemade desserts delivered to your door.
We have always found great pleasure in seeing others enjoy eating what we bake. Like many, we believe food brings people together and encourages us to enjoy each others' company.
We have noticed since cakes, desserts and afternoon tea are back in fashion, that many cooks focus on beautiful presentation and bright colours so we eat with our eyes and then our stomachs. Despite this being an appealing idea, we often find that the emphasis is more on the presentation and the quality and taste of the product is often compromised and end up disappointed with the result. Our aim is to provide home baking which is attractive on the eye with particular emphasis being on the taste. All of our recipes are traditional with a modern twist.
We have put together a menu of our favourite desserts using largely our own recipes and hope that you like them. Most of the desserts provide 10-12 portions and are therefore ideal for gatherings, parties, dinner parties and other social occasions. Keep an eye out for seasonal specials by following us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. You can also sign up to our newsletter. If you have a particular event in mind or would like a specific dessert, please contact us and we can discuss it further.
It is essential to us that we maintain the highest level of cleanliness in our work. We have obtained a Level 2 certificate in Food Hygiene Training and were also awarded 5* in our recent inspection by the Food Standards Agency. All ingredients and baked desserts are stored in a separate fridge to ensure the highest possible standards.

Ossuary of St. James in Brno
The second largest ossuary in Europe
This unique Moravian ossuary is located next to the Church of St. James in Brno and is the second largest in Europe, the chilling primacy is held by the Paris ossuary. It was discovered during a land survey in 2001 and the number of people buried there is estimated at more than 50,000. Anthropological analyses showed that it was a place of burial of victims of plague and cholera, the Thirty Years' War and the Swedish siege.
The cemetery at the Church of St. James on St. James Square in Brno already existed at the beginning of the 13th century. Just like other city cemeteries, it was established inside the city walls, which prevented its expansion. Therefore its capacity was soon insufficient for the growing city and a new system of burials had to be introduced: after 10 to 12 years from the burial, the grave was opened and the remains were taken out and replaced with the body of a recently deceased person. The remains of the original body were stored in special underground cellars called ossuaries.
The ossuary in Brno is unique in terms of its content and size. However, it is not just a tourist attraction; the city endeavours to accentuate the piety of the place. Therefore it can be visited by a maximum of 20 persons at a time. The ossuary, together with the Labyrinth under the Green Market and the Mint Masters' Cellar, form a complex that gives visitors a glimpse of the Moravian Metropolis's underground area.

Jakubské Square and the Church of St. Jacob in Brno
Until the 18th century, Jakubské Square was a cemetery, which adjoined the Church of St. Jacob. As it reached capacity and beyond due the growth of the city, the burial remains started to be put to rest into the ossuary.
