\section{Trans-Iron Elements in White Dwarfs}

The presence of elements beyond the iron group in white dwarfs was first proved
by \citet{vennes:2005}. They discovered Ge in three hot ($T_{\rm eff}$ =
56,000--58,000\,K) DA white dwarfs (GD\,246, Feige\,24, G191$-$B2B) with roughly
solar abundance. Subsequently, \citet{chayer:2005} detected Ge, As, Se, Sn, and
I in two cool ($T_{\rm eff}$ = 49,500\,K) DOs (HD\,149499B and HZ\,21). The
abundances are between 3 and 1000 times solar. As described in detail below,
\citet{werner:2012} discovered no less than ten trans-iron elements in the hot
DO RE\,0503$-$289. From them, Ga, Kr, Mo, and Xe are newly discovered species in
WDs. The abundances of Ge \citep{rauch:2012}, Kr, and Xe range between several
100 and several 1000 solar. In essence, extreme overabundances of trans-iron
elements are only seen in DO white dwarfs, in a temperature range of
49,500--70,000\,K.

It might be worthwhile to recapitulate that large overabundances (up to 4 dex
oversolar) of Ga, Ge, Sr, Y, Zr, Sn, and Pb where found in hot subdwarfs
($T_{\rm eff}$ = 22,000--40,000\,K;
\citealt{otoole:2004,chayer:2006,otoole:2007,naslim:2011}), although the
relevance of this fact in the context of WDs is not immediately obvious.

\section{RE\,0503$-$289}

RE\,0503$-$289 is a hot DO with $T_{\rm eff}$ = 75,000\,K, $\log g = 7.5$
(Fig.\,\ref{fig_gteff}; \citealt{barstow:1994,dreizler:1996}). It has a rather
high C abundance (e.g., \citealt{rauch:2012}), namely $\approx$3--5\% (mass
fraction). This amount is significantly larger than that found in other DOs
($<$1\%) but, on the other hand, much lower than the C abundance seen in
PG\,1159 stars (13--60\%). The ISM column density towards RE\,0503$-$289 is
extremely low ($\log n_{\rm H} =17.1$; \citealt{barstow:1994}). This uniquely
allows access to the EUV spectrum of a DO white dwarf. A remarkable spectrum was
recorded with the EUVE satellite \citep{vennes:1998}. Up to now, it was not
possible to fit that spectrum with a model atmosphere flux. It was realized that
there are unknown absorbers in the atmosphere which were not included in the
models \citep{werner:2001}.

In the years 2000 and 2001, far-UV spectra of RE\,0503$-$289 were observed with
FUSE, aiming at the ISM D/H determination along the line of sight. Since then
not a single attempt was made to analyze the photospheric spectrum. What
prevented us from analysing the FUSE data was the fact that the spectrum is
dominated by absorption lines that are not seen in any other WDs and which
remained entirely unidentified. Eventually, we realised that they stem from
highly-ionized trans-iron group elements as mentioned above (examples are shown
in Figs.\,\ref{fig_fuse_example}--\ref{fig_trans_fe_lines}).

The most serious problem for the determination of trans-iron element abundances is
the lack of atomic data. NLTE modeling is necessary and therefore oscillator
strengths are required not only for the observed line transitions but for the
entire set of lines that need to be considered in the model atoms. While for Kr
and Xe we could compile atomic data from literature \citet{werner:2012}, new
efforts are necessary for the other species. A first step was taken by new
quantum mechanical calculations for Ge\,V and VI that were immediately applied
to derive the Ge abundance in RE\,0503$-$289 \citep{rauch:2012}. A further
complication for future work is the lack of experimentally derived energy levels
so that the line positions are uncertain.

\section{KPD\,0005+5106}

Spectroscopically, KPD\,0005+5106 is classified as a hot DO
\citep{sion:1999}. However, it was shown recently that the temperature of
this star ($T_{\rm eff}$ = 200,000\,K) is much higher than previously assumed
\citep{werner:2007,wassermann:2010}. Its location in the $g$--$T_{\rm
eff}$--plane is well before the maximum-temperature ``knee'', thus, it is
strictly speaking no WD but a He-shell burning post-AGB star. The metal
abundances in the He-dominated atmosphere (mass fractions of C, N, O, Ne, Si, S,
Ca, Fe) display moderate deviations from solar abundances. They range between
0.7 and 4.3 times solar.

\section{Evolutionary Status of the Hottest DO White Dwarfs}

Figure~\ref{fig_gteff} displays the location of DO and PG\,1159 stars in the
$g$--$T_{\rm eff}$--plane. Also shown is a theoretical PG\,1159 wind limit which
means that any PG\,1159 star that approaches this line during its evolution
transforms into a DO WD. This is because gravitational settling of heavy
elements overcomes radiation-driven mass-loss in the fading stars. The location
of the wind-limit line depends on the assumed mass-loss law and is therefore
somewhat uncertain. It is probably intrinsically ``fuzzy'' because of the
metallicity dependence of the mass-loss rate. In any case, no PG\,1159 stars is
expected below that limiting line, and indeed this is supported by the
observations. On the other hand, DO WDs above this line cannot have evolved from
PG\,1159 stars. This was also concluded by \cite{quirion:2012}, who investigated
theoretically the red edge of the GW~Vir instability strip. GW~Vir stars are
pulsating PG\,1159 stars and it was originally proposed by \cite{quirion:2006}
that the red edge is a consequence of gravitational settling the removes the
driving agents, mainly C and O, from the stellar envelope. \cite{quirion:2012}
emphasize that at any time during the evolution there is no significantly
different composition in the driving region and the photosphere, so that the
location in the $g$--$T_{\rm eff}$--plane where PG\,1159 stars transform into
DOs coincides with the red edge of the GW~Vir strip. The wind limits derived by
\cite{quirion:2012} are qualitatively similar to those derived by
\cite{unglaub:2000} but, quantitatively different because of diverse assumptions.

RE\,0503$-$289 is located close to the wind limit that is displayed in
Fig.\,\ref{fig_gteff}. This fact, as well as the intermediate carbon abundance,
suggests that the star is about to transform from a PG\,1159 star into a DO WD
\citep{vennes:1998,unglaub:2000}. While C is already depleted because of
gravitational settling, the trans-iron elements are strongly enhanced by radiative
levitation. The reservoir from which the heavy metals are drawn is the former
He-rich intershell region, which dominates the envelope composition in PG\,1159
stars as the result of a late He-shell flash (e.g. \citealt{werner:06}) and
which can be enriched with s-process elements by 2--3 dex (Gallino, priv. comm;
\citealt{karakas:2007}). This circumstance could explain that hot DAs do not
show the extreme overabundances of trans-iron elements. The only disturbing fact
is that iron is not detected, suggesting that the abundance must be less than
2.5 dex subsolar \citep{barstow:2000}. This is surprising because we would
expect that Fe is also kept in the photosphere with higher abundances due to
radiative levitation. The iron abundance in PG\,1159 stars is solar
\citep{werner:2011} and diffusion calculations predict roughly solar abundances
in a DO like RE\,0503$-$289 \citep{chayer:1995}. Nickel could also pose a
problem for the interpretation of the metal abundances. The presence of Ni (0.3
dex oversolar) in HST spectra of RE\,0503$-$289 was claimed
\citep{barstow:2000}, however, from today's view this seems doubtful to us and a
reassessment of this question, including FUSE spectra,  would be useful.

DOs that have not quite reached the wind limit indicated in
Fig.\,\ref{fig_gteff} could stem from ``milder'' PG\,1159 stars in a sense, that
their C abundance was relatively low. This could result in lower mass-loss rates
and hence a shift of the wind limit towards lower gravities. One example could
be the DO PG\,0108+101 ($T_{\rm eff}$ = 95,000\,K, $\log\,g = 7.5$) which has a
C abundance similar to RE\,0503$-$289 (3\%, \citealt{dreizler:1999}). It would
be interesting to know whether this WD also exhibits large amounts of trans-iron
elements. Unfortunately, there are no FUSE observations, but HST could be used
to record a FUV spectrum.

KPD\,0005+5106 is located well before the wind limit and, thus, cannot have been
a PG\,1159 star \citep{wassermann:2010}. Its metal abundance pattern suggests a
possible relation to the RCrB stars which in turn are probably the result of a
WD merger. This evolutionary context was discussed in detail in other papers of
this conference, presented in the talks by Clayton, Reindl, and Staff.

\section{Summary and Conclusions}

Some hot DOs above the PG\,1159 wind limit are not descendants from PG\,1159
stars but belong to a distinct helium-rich post-AGB sequence (whatever its
origin is). The most prominent example is KPD\,0005+5106. RE\,0503$-$289 is a
unique white dwarf. It could be in the transition phase from the PG\,1159 into
the DO class. The high trans-iron element abundances result from s-process
enhancement, possibly amplified by radiative levitation. The two other, cooler
DOs with abundant trans-iron species mentioned in the Introduction are cooled-down
versions of RE\,0503$-$289 and, thus, PG\,1159 descendants. Note that both of
these WDs exhibit H as a trace element (i.e., they are DOAs) which might be an
indication that they went through a particular subclass of the various
final-thermal pulse (FTP) scenarios, the so-called AGB- (AFTP) and late-thermal
pulse (LTP) events (for details on these events see, e.g.,
\citealt{werner:06}). The lack of DAs with extreme trans-iron enrichments supports
the idea that a LTP is a necessary condition for the trans-iron overabundances in
the DO white dwarfs.

Future work should aim at the determination of all other trans-Fe elements
discovered in RE\,0503$-$289. Are they related to the s-process abundance
pattern or dominated by radiative levitation? For this, we need theoretical
predictions from diffusion calculations, in a manner pioneered by
\citet{chayer:2006} who performed such modeling for Ge, Zr, and Pb in sdB stars.
Such calculations should account for the effects of (selective) stellar
winds. Another ingredient for the diffusion calculations as well as for the
abundance analyses are oscillator strengths that must be obtained by quantum-mechanical calculations.

\section{Closing Remark}

In 1904, the Scottish chemist Sir William Ramsay received the chemistry Nobel prize
for the discovery of the noble gases He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe in the air and for their
isolation. He earned his doctorate in 1873 -- at the University of T\"ubingen.

Registered travelers hit the friendly skies at SFO
Sep. 20, 2007 12:00 a.m.
Registered traveler lanes allowing preapproved airline travelers to speed through security checkpoints — a program that has already attracted thousands — rolled out Tuesday at San Francisco International Airport.
Officials with Verified Identity Pass Inc., the company pushing the national registered traveler program called Clear, announced last month that the much-anticipated FasTrak-style lanes would be available Sept. 6. They estimated then that the program, geared toward business travelers who fly anywhere between 20 and 40 times per year, would occupy the international terminal at the end of this year.
After the announcement, 1,000 people signed up on the first day. In the month after officialsheralded its arrival, 4,000 people signed up to fly out of SFO as registered travelers, VIP spokeswoman Cindy Rosenthal said.
After completing a preliminary registration online at www.flyclear.com, a traveler must undergo a retina scan, fingerprinting and an extensive background check, comparable to those airport employees undergo before being hired, Airport Director John Martin said during the August announcement.
Travelers then fork over the annual fee of $99.95 and receive a biometric ID card that allows them to use their own lanes.
A year ago, the airport said it did not plan on adding the fast-track checkpoint lanes to its terminals, pointing to quick and painless security waits of approximately four minutes. But a host of officials from new carriers at SFO from JetBlue Airways, Virgin America, Southwest Airlines and, in October, Irish airline Aer Lingus, said the demand was there to support such a program.
SFO joins 10 other airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and Orlando International Airport in Florida, participating in the program. LaGuardia International Airport, also in New York, rolls out the program later this month.
Clear lanes are open to travelers out of domestic Terminal 1 from 4:30 a.m. to midnight, and in domestic Terminal 3 from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
VIP Chief Executive Steven Brill said the benefit lies in knowing exactly how long the security wait will be — 30 seconds to four minutes. Rosenthal said with the rollout of the program at the end of this year in the international terminal, the company hopes to grab Virgin America travelers headed to destinations such as New York.
"Now when I travel coast to coast through JFK and SFO, I'll get the same fast, reliable experience I've been getting at other lanes around the country," participant Doug Cameron said.
After completing a preliminary registration online at www.flyclear.com, a traveler must undergo a retina scan, fingerprinting and an extensive background check, comparable to those airport employees undergo before being hired, Airport Director John Martin said.

MMA: Jon Jones Doesn't Want Lyoto Machida Next
by King Hazard
Before moving up to the heavyweight division, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon "Bones" Jones has two more goals he wants to achieve, and it doesn't sound like Lyoto Machida is one of them. First and foremost, Jones wants to break Tito Ortiz's longstanding record in the light heavyweight division, and one more title defense would do the trick. Second, he still wants to prove critics wrong by facing an opponent almost as big as him like Alexander Gustafsson.
During the recent UFC 159 post-fight presser, Jones weighed in on a fight with Gustafsson, and briefly talked about a rematch with Machida, but that is off his radar for the moment.
"I fought Lyoto Machida before," he said. "And I fight for the love of the sport, I fight for the people that support me. But I also fight to prove critics wrong. A lot of people believe I've been successful because I appear to be larger than my opponents. With Alexander Gustafsson, that would be no more. So Alexander Gustafsson, a guy who is 6-foot-6 or 6-5, big long legs arms, long legs, that'd be great, and that's who I'd love to fight next."
Dana White also commented, but didn't have a clue on what could be next for Jones yet,
"Alexander should have fought that night. He didn't fight. Jon Jones isn't going to be fighting anytime soon apparently. He's got a compound fracture. When I went into the octagon, the bone was sticking out of his toe. I'm not a doctor. I don't know how long that takes to heal, but it can't be too quick."
Since Jones suffered a gruesome toe injury on Saturday night at UFC 159, he will be sidelined until ready to train again. Therefore, a light heavyweight bout between Machida and Gustafsson could very well be possible.
However, White won't confirm anything until he knows for sure how long Jones will be out.

Interior Office of Insular Affairs Announces Full and Final Allocation of $55 Million in Cares Act Funds to Insular Areas
Last edited 11/1/2021
Contact: Tanya_Joshua@ios.doi.gov
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) announces its final allocation of $55 million in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act through the Technical Assistance Program (TAP) to the Insular Areas. The funds were distributed among the insular area governments to prepare for and address the impacts of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Funds were also distributed to several non-government organizations in Guam, Hawai'i, and the mainland to assist insular area populations disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We are pleased to support the Biden-Harris administration's work with insular areas governments and nonprofit organizations as they work to protect families against the coronavirus pandemic and to address the ongoing health, economic, and social effects of the pandemic," said Deputy Assistant Secretary Keone Nakoa. "Insular area communities in Guam, Hawai'i, and the continental United States have been among the most heavily impacted populations, and we applaud Congress for including funding to help meet the needs of these communities through the Office of Insular Affairs' Technical Assistance Program."
The CARES Act funds have and will be used in a variety of ways including the acquisition of medical equipment; distribution of testing kits and vaccines; distribution of protective gear, cleaning supplies, and food; quarantine expenses for repatriation of stranded individuals; construction of quarantine sites; and support for insular area populations in the United States who have been heavily impacted by the pandemic. The OIA TAP grant managers continue working with funding recipients to ensure that the funds are disbursed and utilized following the guidelines established under 2 Code of Federal Regulations Part 200: Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards.
Other partners in the federal government have provided important support to the insular areas to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic some of which have been compiled here for easy reference: https://www.doi.gov/oia/BeatingCovid19.

Residency is an exciting and important time; the final step on your road to independent practice.
We have developed a balanced and innovative program intended to best support you along the way. Our goal is to prepare you, as a residency graduate, to begin comprehensive practice anywhere in Canada.
Your clinical experiences and academic sessions have been specifically designed to ensure the right exposures in a collegial working environment. The resident-preceptor dyad, a foundational component of our program, supports the feedback and opportunities for growth that you'll require to develop the key competencies of a capable family physician.
We are a dynamic and supportive program – open to feedback and change. As a resident, you will have an important voice in how the program functions. We have taken a careful approach to the expansion and distribution of our program to ensure that regardless of the site you choose, you will experience a consistent approach to a quality education.
Our Family Medicine Residency Program is dedicated to the development of competent family physicians providing comprehensive, continuous care.
At the core of our program is a family practice that serves as your home base, with a family physician as the primary preceptor for the full two years. This model provides continuity of care, mentorship and education to you, as a resident.
Our residency program is designed to provide flexible postgraduate training to meet your individual needs, recognizing the varying patterns of practice in different family practice settings. Our program is a distributed learning network with the choice of multiple sites which represent separate CaRMS options.
Our program has a 'horizontally integrated' approach to learning to ensure continuity of care for family medicine patients and mental health and behavioural science learning at all sites. This means that as a resident, you return to your home base practice/site at least two half-days per week for clinical care of family medicine patients and for Mental Health and Behavioural Science tutorials.
There are some differences across sites in terms of the structure and organization of the rest of the clinical rotations. Some sites have traditional block rotations with some horizontal experiences and some have adopted an integrated format that weaves together specialty training combined with time in the family medicine clinic.
All residents complete the same rotations, regardless of whether those rotations are delivered in a block or integrated format.
Each block is equivalent to four weeks with a total of 13 blocks each year. At all sites, specialty rotations and exposures have been chosen and developed for their relevance to family medicine.
All residents who are in the program must be able to travel between preceptor practices and hospital-based rotations easily. All residents are encouraged to have their own transportation. Those residents in the Rural Stream are required to have their own transportation.
As a resident in our program, you will complete the following rotations. These are delivered in different formats across the sites, but all residents experience the same common curriculum though these rotations.
One of the major strengths of our program is the diversity of choices in where you learn and practice as a resident. We offer a choice of seven teaching sites, with our Rural Stream offering a further six community options.
Our sites are spread across southern Ontario and offer a wide range of learning environments. Whatever your clinical or academic interests, and the preferred style of community for you and your family, we have a site that will meet your needs.
To see a full list of sites and to learn more about each, visit our Teaching Sites page.

LFCs are dealing with massive loan portfolio in the country and credit risk is one of the most significant risks which is faced by LFCs. The main purpose of the research is to investigate impact of credit risk management on profitability of LFCs in Sri Lanka. In the research model, Return On Assets (ROA) and Return On Equity (ROE) are the indicators for Profitability of LFCs, and Gross Non- Performing Loans (GNPL), Provision for Loss Facilities / Credit Facilities ratio (PLFCF), Total Credit Interest/Credit Facilities ratio (TCICF), Credit Recovery Cost/Credit Interest ratio (CRCCI), and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) are indicators for credit risk management. The research collected data from 30 LFCs in Sri Lanka from 2011 to 2016 and formulated five hypotheses to achieve the research objective. A series of statistical tests were performed in order to test the impact of credit risk management on profitability of LFCs in Sri Lanka. Results disclosed that there is a significant negative impact of the credit risk indicators of GNPL and PLFCF on profitability of LFCs in Sri Lanka and Overall findings revealed that there is significant impact of credit risk management on profitability of LFCs in Sri Lanka. This finding indicates that the better the credit risk management is, the higher the profitability to the LFCs in Sri Lanka.


A bachelor's degree in chemistry, crop science, soil science, biology or a related field, such as horticulture, plant physiology or environmental science is required to become a soil chemist. There are some positions, especially those that are more research driven, that require a master's or doctorate degree. Those degrees along with experience are needed for more administrative level... The definition below is from the N.C.Board of Licensing Soil Scientists Soil Science deals with soils as an environmental resource. It includes soil characterization, classification, and mapping, and the physical, chemical, hydrologic, mineralogical, biological, and microbiological analysis of soil.
Thus, it is important to have soil and landscape investigations conducted by a competent soil scientist. This website explains the credentials needed to become a Registered Soil Scientist, how to obtain the services of a IRSS, and how a soil scientist can become registered.... Soil erosion is a worldwide problem. Soil scientists estimate that 12 inches of soil have been lost during the last 300 year period in the southeastern Piedmont region of the U.S.

When Bertrand Russell published his Principia Mathematica in 1913, a close friend wrote him a letter pointing out a telling mistake. Russell checked his calculations, and found that his friend was right. What should he do? The book had taken him long to complete. He surmised that the mistake would pass unnoticed by the vast majority of readers. Could he let it go? He agonised about it for an entire night.
By the next morning he had reached his decision. He recalled all printed copies and revised the relevant sections. It was a matter of principle, he tells us. Since he knew that what he had written was wrong, it was his duty to correct it. He owed this obligation to Truth.
During his life, Bertrand Russell declared himself an atheist many times over. But was he? Bertrand Russell grew up in stifling Puritan surroundings, as he describes in The Conquest of Happiness, London 1940. Was he fighting the severe patriarchal God of his childhood? One of Russell's daughters is said to have remarked that her father was a deeply religious man, with Truth as his God. I think she assessed him correctly. But a better way of putting it, might be to say that Russell touched God in Truth, even though he did not realise it.
Human knowledge advances by our attempts to find out the truth about things. It is the basis of our every day common-sense interaction with the world. It is also the fundamental principle of science. Scientific research tries to establish facts, to study things as they are. Truth is its "God".
Now, it is necessary here to reflect on the nature of Truth. Truth to be truth, must reflect reality. And we cannot make reality. We can only discover it. We cannot change the facts. We have to take them as they are, whether we like them or not. Even if we try to deny them or present them differently for whatever purpose, we know, at the same time, that what we say does not correspond to the truth.
We grasp the truth in our mind. For instance, I grasp that the earth is round, even though it looks flat. But the roundness of the earth is not a construction of my mind. The earth was a globe for millions of years before human beings discovered it was round. Our mind does not make something true or false. Our mind recognises it is true or false.
Truth is so fundamental that it encompasses even the universe as such. Time and space are elements of our universe. But truth goes beyond our universe. For what we think about the whole universe is also either true or not; and was true or not even before we knew of it.
Moreover, our mind itself, and its ability to grasp truth are an important reality in the universe. Why should we favour an explanation of the universe through a `bottom-up', i.e. purely physicalist causality? Does our own mental experience not point to a valid `top-down' causality? (See: J.R.SEARLE, Minds, Brains and Science, London 1984).
The answer seems inescapable. We float on an ocean of truth. Truth is an absolute aspect of reality and of being. And as such truth points to God, both as the Ultimate Reality that validates truth and the `mind' that makes everything knowable.
In a nutshell, the argument from truth to God is this: our deep-rooted conviction that truth is a matter of discovery and not invention is best accounted for – especially in its fullest scope, that is to say, including the truths of mind as well as of matter – on the supposition of an infinite creative Mind that makes things what they are and preserves them as what they are for us to discover.
B.HEBBLETHWAITE, The Ocean of Truth, Cambridge 1988, p. 110; see also M.L.DIAMOND, "A Modern Theistic Argument", Modern Theology 6 (1990) pp. 287-293.
"I do not know what I appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me".

Q: getting errors on PHP image upload So I am trying to upload an image with PHP scripts but I am getting these errors
ps : file_uploads = On in php.ini
File is an image - image/jpeg.
Warning: move_uploaded_file(image/promotions/verso.jpg): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in W:\xampp\htdocs\elkssar\functions\upload.php on line 43
Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move "W:\xampp\tmp\phpCB68.tmp" to "image/promotions/verso.jpg" in W:\xampp\htdocs\elkssar\functions\upload.php on line 43
Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.
<?php
$target_dir = "image/promotions/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = strtolower(pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION));

// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["upload"])) {
  $check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
  if($check !== false) {
    echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
    $uploadOk = 1;
  } else {
    echo "File is not an image.";
    $uploadOk = 0;
  }
}

// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
  echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
  $uploadOk = 0;
}

// Check file size

  $uploadOk = 0;

    echo "The file ". htmlspecialchars( basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"])). " has been uploaded.";
  } else {
    echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
  }
}
?>

A: it was a stupid mistake iam not in the same location as image/ so the code line should be like this $target_dir = "../image/promotions/";

A: It is because of the following condition
// Allow certain file formats
if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg"
&& $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
  echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
  $uploadOk = 0;
}

as you are doing AND condition check for the file formats and the file you are uploading will only have 1 format not all. So instead of doing AND try using OR
// Allow certain file formats
if(!in_array($imageFileType, ["jpg","png","jpeg","gif"]) ) {
    echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
    $uploadOk = 0;
}

Ever since the Marvel Cinematic Universe became a huge success, there were immediate imitators trying to follow that same model. From the 'Justice League' films to 'Amazing Spider-Man' to even the upcoming 'Star Wars' movies. It all seemed a bit much, to be honest. But, this latest news might take the cake (or donut?) when it comes to biting style. Dan Aykroyd, the only one involved with the original 'Ghostbusters' who seems to want to have anything to do with the new 'Ghostbusters' says he wants to relaunch the franchise following the Marvel "shared universe" strategy.
It's up on blocks, it needs new electronics, new everything. That's what we have to do. The whole vehicle of 'Ghostbusters' has to be rebuilt. That's the ambitious thinking that's going on now. Taking on the model of Marvel where we take all of the elements that are in this movie and we put them out there as different ideas.
OK, we'd agree that the 'Ghostbusters' franchise has to be rebuilt, and we'll even buy his analogy that it's a classic car that needs a lot of work to actually run again. But, he kinda lost us at the "we take all of the elements...and we put them out there as different ideas." Well, like what exactly?
Another movie or another TV show, but what's the totality of it? The whole mythology from the beginning of their lives, the end of their lives. Ghostbusters at nine years old, Ghostbusters in high school.
We say this with love because Dan Aykroyd is a legitimate comedy legend responsible for some of the funniest TV ('SNL') and movies ('Ghostbusters' and 'The Blues Brothers') of the past 30 years, but...NO. We do not want to see a movie (or TV show) that follows the 'Ghostbusters' at nine years old. Or, in high school. That's almost literally an 'SNL' sketch.
There is a chance, we suppose, that this 'Ghostbusters' reboot they're cooking up might not be horrible. They're making some steps in the right direction (director Paul Feig, the potential for an all-female cast), but turning 'Ghostbusters' into some half-assed Marvel Cinematic Universe is just wrong-headed. That worked for Marvel because it's germane to the comics that inspired them. Comic crossovers have been going on since before anyone wanted anything to do with making a superhero movie. Heck, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it right now, is loosely based on a big comic crossover ("The Infinity Gauntlet"). Saying you want the 'Ghostbusters' to have some sort of expanded universe isn't natural to the franchise, it's just lopping the head off the goose that lays the golden eggs.
We'll leave you with a quote from our Mike Ryan in his editorial from earlier this summer on this very issue: "Just make some fun movies."
Forget about the spinoffs and sequels and TV shows and whatever else you're thinking about, Dan. Just worry about making one 'Ghostbusters' movie that's not horrible. That alone seems difficult enough.

Join Khiri Travel Cambodia for a tour that introduces you to the beauty of Battambang city; taking you kayaking down the Sangkae River, a beautifully tranquil body of water that winds its way picturesquely into downtown Battambang.
You first meet with your local guide about eight kilometres from Battambang and start kayaking east down the river towards the heart of this fascinating historical city. The student guide will share their knowledge with your clients about farming communities and the fishermen you see eking out a living along this enchanting rural waterway.
Annexed by the French in the early 20th century, Battambang town underwent a thorough modernization with well-defined boulevards and avenues constructed, and the linking of both banks of the river via two bridges built in 1917. A number of large residential villas and public buildings were also built – some of best preserved examples of French colonial architecture in Cambodia today.
After an insightful kayaking trip, we stop to enjoy lunch at a local cafe, which in addition to local Khmer food, offers a surprisingly broad range of international cuisine. Set up by the Apostolic Prefecture of Battambang, profits from the café go towards a number of humanitarian projects for disadvantaged people in the province, including education and healthcare programs, and support for people with disabilities.
After lunch we continue on to Phnom Banan, an 11th century temple complex constructed on top of a hill overlooking the Sangkae River, just 22 km to the south of Battambang. With its five ancient temple ruins it is often referred to as 'mini Angkor Wat'. Be prepared to climb over 350 steps to get to the top where you will have – not only the ancient towers to admire – but some stunning views of Cambodian rice plains and small farming communities stretching far below to the horizon.
After the exertion of the climb, a bit of refreshment is in order, so we head to our last stop of the day, Prasat Phnom Banan Winery, the only winery in Cambodia. Passing some picturesque vineyards along the way, we arrive at this small local wine maker which produces only a few thousand bottles of wine, brandy and fresh grape juice, each year. Tastings takes place in their garden pavilion and are not just limited to wine, so if you're more of brandy connoisseur, you won't be disappointed.
After this relaxing time meditating on the differing bouquets, you return to your hotel for the rest of the evening at your own leisure.
For more information on this tour and other Cambodian experiences, please email us at [email protected], or get in touch with us via the contact person in the yellow box below.
Transport in Thailand is varied and fun.

President Donald Trump speaks to the press about protests in Charlottesville, Va.
I love America and greatly disagree with the dangerously false opinions, observations and prognostications that are proliferating about this country and President Donald Trump. America is not descending into a bloody race war, and Trump is not a racist.
Trump is a chaotic megalomaniac with associated prejudices, not a racist. While his impulsive, unpredictable and unproductive behavior often smacks of bigotry, liberals should stop stereotyping and magnifying his behavior through frenzied racialized lenses because they are visionless.
If we are going to have any meaningful discussion on race, we must differentiate between racists, bigots and prejudiced people. These terms and labels are not synonyms and should not be used interchangeably because doing so blurs history, obscures the truth, bloodies discourses and confuses the American public.
We cannot successfully address historical and contemporary forms of racial inequality and its antecedents without fighting fair. Since "Black Lives Matter," so do the labels we place on those who are antithetical to them.
Racists believe in their biological and moral superiority over other racial groups. Like most U.S. presidents, Trump believes that he is superior over everyone, irrespective of race. He is too much of a charlatan to be racist, and too narcissistic, pragmatic and unimaginative to buy into fantastical white supremacist ideology.
Bigots are intolerant and odious toward those holding different opinions, particularly members of different racial, ethnic, religious and gendered groups. Trump is intolerant and loathsome toward nearly everyone equally, and too strong of a megalomaniac to be controlled by racist or bigoted ideology and politics. Exit Steve Bannon!
Prejudice expresses itself as preconceived, irrational and often hostile opinions and stereotypes based on inferior or insufficient knowledge. Trump's alleged moral-equivalency uttering about Charlottesville, Va., his tweets objecting to the removal of Confederate statues, and his comments about Mexicans and other minorities are cases in point. Like many Americans, Trump can be intellectually inflexible, willfully ignorant, insecure and hostile, demonstrating his prejudice on a wide array of issues foremost among them — race politics.
For example, why was President Trump willing and able to condemn "radical Islamic extremists" responsible for the horrid international terrorist attacks in Barcelona, Spain, but reluctant to condemn white supremacist extremists responsible for ISIS-style domestic terrorism in Charlottesville? In a recent tweet, Trump openly endorsed torture and extra-judicial killings to deter terrorism in Spain. Would he also support using torture and summary executions to combat violent white-extremist terrorists in the U.S.? These are troubling paradoxes.
Perhaps the president's offering an intelligent plan for racial unity would bring about needed healing in a nation struggling with a legacy of racial, ethnic and religious division. According to recent FBI hate crimes statistics, blacks and Jewish people are the greatest victims of racial and religious violence, respectively. Hate crimes against Muslims are skyrocketing. More than 60 percent of reported victims of hate crimes were targeted because of their race and about 50 percent of all hate crimes are committed by whites.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security determined that white supremacist extremists are responsible for more deadly attacks than any other domestic extremist group, with racial minorities being primary victims. Trump needs to reflect on these realities and address them.
Trump should forthrightly seek to reconcile his zealous advocacy for the deaths of black teenagers in the Central Park Five scandal who were later exonerated; his late and self-promoting tweets after the 2015 white supremacist murders of nine worshippers at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C.; and his outward discomfort in condemning white supremacist groups and violence in Charlottesville last week. Trump's open support for Confederate statues and bumbling defense of violent white extremist history complicates matters further.
For better or worse, Trump's opinions, values and virtues are shared by millions of Americans, not a fringe element. White supremacist speech is protected under the First Amendment. White supremacists can lawfully celebrate a violent losing and treasonous tradition as long as they don't employ fighting words, commit crimes involving speech or make threats.
While white supremacist extremists spew hate, we must advance new institutions and enterprises comprised of white anti-racist activists. We need White Millennials with an Attitude — WMWA — focused on tracking, monitoring and combating violent white extremism. The NAACP and Urban League must evolve.
We need newer and braver civil-rights organizations determined to lawfully disrupt, dismantle and destroy white supremacist extremist groups intent on violently upending our Constitution and the laws, values, virtues and principles of these United States.

Will Jennings (Kilgore, 27 juni 1944) is een Amerikaans songwriter. Hij schreef (mede) hits die internationaal hoog in de hitlijsten terechtkwamen, waaronder het themanummer My heart will go on van de film Titanic. Artiesten die zijn werk opnamen, zijn onder meer Barry Manilow, Dionne Warwick, Joe Cocker en Eric Clapton.

Biografie
Jennings gaf les aan de University of Wisconsin toen hij in 1971 besloot naar Nashville te gaan en zijn carrière als songwriter te vervolgen. In de eerste vier jaar zetten verschillende artiesten zijn werk op een plaat, zoals Dobie Gray en The Addrisi Brothers. Feelins' (1975), uitgevoerd door Conway Twitty en Loretta Lynn, was de eerste nummer 1-hit die hij mede schreef, samen met Don Goodman en Troy Seals. Hij vormde een tijd een team met schrijvers als Richard Kerr en Steve Winwood.

Vervolgens vertrok hij naar Los Angeles. Hier schreef hij in de jaren zeventig en tachtig een reeks popnummers die hoog in de hitlijsten terechtkwamen. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn Looks like we made it (1977) door Barry Manilow, I'll never love this way again (1979) door Dionne Warwick, Up where we belong (1982) door Joe Cocker en Jennifer Warnes, Higher love (1986) door Steve Winwood, Didn't we almost have it all (1987) door Whitney Houston en Tears in heaven (1992) door Eric Clapton. Ook schreef hij samen met James Horner My heart will go on (1997). Dit nummer werd gezongen door Céline Dion en diende als het themanummer van de film Titanic (1997). Daarnaast bleef hij ook nog steeds countrynummers schrijven.

Jennings won een variatie aan grote prijzen, zoals Grammy Awards, Golden Globe Awards en Oscars. In 2006 werd hij opgenomen in de Songwriters Hall of Fame en in 2013 in de Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Free Press Applauds Department of Justice Letter on Wireless Competition
WASHINGTON - On Thursday the Department of Justice Antitrust Division sent a letter to the FCC calling on the agency to adopt "rules that ensure the smaller nationwide networks, which currently lack substantial low-frequency spectrum, have an opportunity to acquire such spectrum." The letter's authors wrote, these rules "could improve the competitive dynamic among nationwide carriers and benefit consumers."
In the letter the Justice Department noted that "local mobile wireless markets across the nation are relatively concentrated," and called on the FCC to promote competition with policies that "ensure that the largest firms do not foreclose other rivals from access to low-frequency spectrum that would allow them to improve their coverage and make them stronger, more aggressive competitors."
In response to the letter, Free Press Research Director S. Derek Turner made the following statement:
"While AT&T and Verizon believe that there should be no limits on the amount of spectrum they can control, our nation's top antitrust experts strongly disagree.
"The Justice Department is deeply concerned that shortsighted FCC spectrum allocation policies could jeopardize competition in the U.S. wireless market. We hope this letter makes the FCC sit up and take notice: the future of mobile competition is dependent on policies that prevent the largest carriers from monopolizing our nation's valuable public airwaves."

At his Minneapolis, MN, practice, Dr. Tim J. Clavin can coordinate your treatment for All-on-4® dental implants which require fewer posts and often eliminate the need for bone grafting. After treatment, he can provide you with a highly realistic denture.
Why should you consider All-on-4 for your implant-supported denture?
Without bone grafting, the treatment is typically much shorter. You will also receive a temporary denture the day of surgery.
Your implant-supported denture will be exceptionally stable and repair the function and aesthetics of your smile.
Since fewer implant posts and no preparatory procedures are needed, treatment is often more affordable.
With the All-on-4 technique, a full denture is attached to the jaw with just four angled implants.
Is the All-on-4 technique a viable alternative for traditional dental implants?
When is the All-on-4 technique recommended?
Large gaps in your smile can make it difficult to eat and speak properly.
Broken or damaged teeth are painful, weakened, and put your surrounding teeth at risk for excessive wear.
Dental decay that has spread to the majority of your smile can jeopardize your oral health and may eventually lead to tooth loss.
The All-on-4 system can often support a denture immediately following implant placement.
You may be a candidate for All-on-4 implants if you are missing some or all of the teeth in your upper or lower jaw, or both. You will need sufficient jawbone tissue to support the implants, but if you have experienced some jaw atrophy, you may still be a candidate.
Dr. Clavin and our team can assess your candidacy during an initial consultation. We will take x-rays of your jaw and Dr. Clavin will perform an oral health evaluation to determine if All-on-4 implants are the right treatment for you. Patients who smoke, suffer from uncontrolled diabetes, or have periodontal disease may not immediately qualify for dental implants of any kind.
The All-on-4 technique allows a wider range of patients to experience the benefits of dental implants.
If Dr. Clavin determines you are a candidate for the All-on-4 technique, he can coordinate with a trusted periodontal practice in the same building. Your periodontist will numb your gums and jawbone and then make small incisions before inserting the titanium posts. During the implantation process, your periodontist will angle the back posts slightly to achieve greater surface contact between the jaw and implants. This positioning is one reason why All-on-4 can support a denture with fewer implants. Once the implants are in place, your periodontist will close the incisions with sutures.
In most cases, your periodontist can immediately attach a temporary denture to wear while your jaw heals. This can take four to six months. Once the implants and jaw have become fused, Dr. Clavin will attach your permanent denture for a fully restored smile.

Q: Hyperledger Fabric Go Chaincode - Signing inside chaincode code I'm working on Hyperledger Fabric with Golang Chaincode and I have the following question.
Is it possible to have each endorser sign something in the code of the chaincode?
For example: I have a client proposing a transaction and I want to not only have the transaction approved (and signed by the endorsers so the client sends it to the ordering service) but also a string inside the code signed so the client can receive this string signed and use it for other purposes. Is this possible?
Thank you

A: As far as i can understand you want to get the identification of the user invoking the chaincode.
If this is the case then you can use cid GetMSPID https://godoc.org/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/lib/cid#GetMSPID or getID https://godoc.org/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/lib/cid#GetID
So you can take the identity of the user as a string an you can use it as signature as you like
Anyhow, i believe the first step is to catch the user identity i.e the user name and then user it as you wish. For me cid getMSPID did the trick in similar situation
Hope this helped

Dikhil, est une ville de la République de Djibouti, chef-lieu de la région du même nom.

Géographie

Situation
Dikhil se situe dans le sud-est de la Région de Dikhil et l'ouest de la République de Djibouti, à une centaine de kilomètres de Djibouti, la capitale, et une dizaine de kilomètres de l'Éthiopie.

Hydrographie
Dikhil est traversée par l'oued Chekkeyti, qui draine les plateaux d'Oukoula et s'écoule, au nord, vers le graben de Hanlé.

Géologie et relief
Dikhil se situe à une altitude moyenne de , dans une dépression, cernée de collines.

La formation géologique de Dikhil se compose en surface de conglomérats (roches détritiques et sédiments lacustres), ainsi que d'argile, de gypse,  de diatomite et de limon graveleux, dans les strates inférieures.

Climat
Le climat de Dikhil est de type tropical aride, avec une température moyenne annuelle de  et seulement  de précipitations, concentrées sur les mois d'août à novembre.

Cependant, l'altitude permet d'obtenir, outre un faible taux d'humidité, des températures plus agréables que sur le littoral, s'élevant, en moyenne, à  l'été et à  l'hiver, avec toutefois de fortes variations entre le jour et la nuit.

Transports
La Nationale 1, reliant Galafi (frontière éthiopienne) à Djibouti, est l'unique route goudronnée desservant Dikhil.

La ville possède, par ailleurs, un petit aéroport et des cars assurent quotidiennement la liaison avec la capitale.

Histoire
La découverte d'objets dont des récipients en céramique et en verre, et des outils en basalte, par Roger Joussaume et ses collègues de l'Institut Supérieur d'Études et de Recherches Scientifiques et Techniques (ISERTS), notamment à Handoga Dikhil, en 1986, fait remonter l'occupation du site au troisième ou quatrième millénaire avant notre ère.

Siège du sultanat Afar de Goba'ad, Dikhil est une ville historique importante dans la région. Le sultan Hummad Lo'oyta signa le 11 mars 1862 le  premier traité d'amitié qui le liait à la France.

Loïta fut le second sultan après son père Arbâhim Gôna. Une série de successions eut lieu en cette période mais le fils cadet Hummad Lo'oyta donna sa forme décisive à l'Etat des Debnés qui était autrefois rattaché au sultanat de Tadjourah et Rehayto 'Obock', ils auront une forme d'indépendance.

Le sultan Hummad Lo'oyta est conscient que les français et autres colons affluent pour annexer leurs territoires mais pour ce sultan Afar qui représente à la fois les afars et quelques trius issas.

L'ancienne capitale d'Obock devenue nuisible à la France du fait de la résistance des populations locales Afars, Obock est abandonnée grâce à la diplomatie qu'use le sultan Hummad Lo'oyta en signant le traité d'Ambado le 14 décembre 1885 à Obock et permettant ainsi à la France de s'installer dans le sud du pays.

Ce traité qui, bien évidemment sera complété  par le second traité d'Ambado signé par les chefs Issas en 1885.

Au décès du Sultan Houmed Loïta, le fils Ahmed La 'dé succède à son père jusqu'en 1903 et meurt prématurément. Ce dernier est l'artisan de la signature des traités avec les Italiens avec lesquels Houmed Loïta signe deux traités mais qui seront niés lorsque les tensions entre les deux puissances coloniales vont s'affronter dans une bataille diplomatique. Ahmed La 'dé est un fervent artisan de l'indépendance du Sultanat de Gobaad en particulier, et des Sultanats afars en général vis-à-vis du pouvoir colonial. C'est pourquoi il ne lésine pas sur l'affaire du sel d'Assal et déclare à côté de son père que le lac Assal est bel et bien une propriété collective du peuple afar. Nous sommes ainsi vers les années 1900 et 1910 lorsque Hanfaré Loita lances des grands raids dans le sud en menaçant directement la ville de Djibouti (Hol-Hol, Taabiya, etc) réprimés par l'administration coloniale française. C'est pourquoi le désarmement des debnés devient un des impératifs du colon français. Un rapport  écrit à Obock, retrouvé dans les archives par Ougoureh Hassan, stipule clairement que l'hégémonie des princes Arbahintos est une menace pour la présence française. Le Nord est désarmé dès les années 20 et 30 après ces troubles. Quant au sud, la situation est difficile pour le colon qui s'avoue vaincu. Il suffit juste de lire Alphonse Lippmann dans « Guerriers et sorciers en Somalie » que Dikhil est interdit à tout français aventurier et administrateur. C'est considéré comme une zone de tous les dangers.

En 1930, au refus d'obtempérer aux consignes de l'administration française et d'Hassan Dîma, Hajji Ali et Loita le cadet, sultan de Gobaad, sont arrêtés avant d'être déportés à Fort-Dauphin au Madagascar avec Mohamed V, roi du Maroc, le père d'Ali Abdi Farah « Abdi Awar » et le vizir Houmed de Tadjourah. Le sultan Loita y meurt dès 1932.. Les debnés livrent une bataille contre Alphonse Lippmann à Uxukya. C'est dernier affrontement entre les Debnés et la France.

le sultanat ancestrale Afar de Goba'ad qui a pour fief Dikhil et sa région, est le lieu de rencontre de différents traités et alliances qui formeront la configuration actuelle moderne de la république de Djibouti.

Période coloniale
En décembre 1927, les autorités coloniales françaises envoient un détachement militaire en reconnaissance, afin de préparer l'installation d'un poste de défense, destiné à sécuriser les frontières de la Côte française des Somalis. Le poste est fondé le  et un fort est édifié.
Il est tenu par une milice de recrutement local sous le commandement d'un officier français, soutenue par une section de tirailleurs sénégalais, à partir de 1933.

La ville se développe en contrebas du fort, dans la plaine, près de la palmeraie, toujours existante, et, en 1930, devient le chef-lieu d'une nouvelle circonscription administrative, appelée Cercle de Dikhil. En 1933, une piste d'aviation est aménagée et, trois ans plus tard, en 1936, la route d'Ali Sabieh est prolongée jusqu'à Djibouti.

Le , au lieu-dit de Moraito, Albert Bernard, commandant du cercle, et une quinzaine de miliciens trouvent la mort en affrontant un groupe assaïamara qui retournait vers l'Éthiopie après un raid de prédation. La circonscription devient alors un cercle militaire.

En décembre 1942,  soldats britanniques, assistés de militaires de la France libre occupent la ville restée jusqu'alors, comme toute la colonie, sous l'autorité du régime de Vichy.

Après l'indépendance
Durant la guerre de l'Ogaden, en 1977 et 1978, Dikhil accueille, avec Ali Sabieh, les trois quarts des  réfugiés Issas d'Éthiopie.

En 1979, le premier président de Djibouti, Hassan Gouled Aptidon, fonde à Dikhil le parti Rassemblement populaire pour le progrès, qui domine encore aujourd'hui la vie politique djiboutienne.

We are doing so much for ourselves we have missed the important one the bride or the wedding. We are trying to get power to get recognition but we are winding up fighting with each other or maneuvering and postioning ourselves for power and authority to be the ones in charge meanwhile the bridesmaids and the bride have gone off by themselves. I am a part of this we need to come together the bride is most important or the marriage if we don't cooperate the marriage willl not take place.
I saw a face coming out of a skull, I believe the skull was the skeleton seen in AA Allen's vision of what may have been a nuclear attack on the USA.

Spider-Woman Headlines
STAR WARS Star Daisy Ridley Says She "Would Love" To Play SPIDER-WOMAN In A Marvel Movie
Daisy Ridley is best known for playing Rey in the Star Wars sequels, but has she already set her sights on a Marvel role? In a new interview, the actress admits that Spider-Woman is a definite possibility.
JoshWilding | 2/23/2021
Filed Under: "Spider-Woman"
Olivia Wilde has been tasked by Sony Pictures with directing a Spider-Woman movie, and there's a lot of speculation about which actress will end up taking on the role of Jessica Drew (assuming that's who ultimately ends up beneath the mask). One name we've heard mentioned quite a bit is Daisy Ridley.
The Star Wars and Chaos Walking star is arguably well-suited for another big franchise, and after working with Tom Holland, she likely knows a lot about his positive experiences in a Marvel role.
Well, as you can see below, Ridley has expressed interest in potentially suiting up as Spider-Woman. In fact, she seems fully on board with the idea of joining the Marvel Universe, though admits that she hasn't heard anything official about playing this character when she makes her big screen debut.
It's still early days for Spider-Woman, of course, and Wilde is currently busy shooting something else entirely. As a result, it could be a while before we get any solid casting news from the trades.
Check out Ridley's take on the possibility of playing Spider-Woman below:
I told her about it possibly being a new Marvel Universe and asked if she'd do a franchise like that. She said, "Oh, yeah, for sure!" She talked about friends being involved with franchises and how much content there is these days with streaming services.
— Sariah Wilson (@sariahwilson) February 20, 2021
But she knew nothing about the Spider-Woman rumors. She seemed excited at the prospect, but I had to explain the whole thing to her. She hadn't heard of it at all.
Click on the "Next" button below to see
our top 10 picks for Spider-Woman!
10. Alicia Vikander
Alicia Vikander deserved better than Tomb Raider, a movie that proved to be an underwhelming adaptation of the hit video game series. The talented actress did a great job as Lara Croft, though, and established herself as being someone more than capable of playing a legitimate badass warrior.
That's a description that perfectly suits Jessica Drew, and Vikander definitely has the right look to play Spider-Woman. Bear in mind that she's an Academy Award winner too, so people would no doubt take this project a whole lot more seriously with someone as talented as her on screen.
Spider-Woman has plenty of impressive powers, but she needs to be formidable from a physical standpoint, and that's why Vikander's name is one that instantly leaps off the page.
9. Natalia Reyes
Terminator: Dark Fate disappointed at the box office when it was released last October despite being perhaps the best instalment of the franchise since Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Natalia Reyes deserves a lot of credit for that, though, because she proved to be a compelling and exciting presence in the long-running series who definitely left us wanting more.
That probably won't happen, of course, but there's nothing to say she can't lend her skills to another big budget blockbuster. Reyes is another exciting possibility for Jessica Drew and it's not at all hard to imagine her portraying the tough as nails spy.
She could also bring a vulnerability to Spider-Woman which may be needed, especially if she ends up going on the run from whatever organisation she was working for before suiting up (in the comics, she was a double agent for S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA but that likely won't be touched on in the SUMC).
8. Olivia Wilde
While the actress is making waves as a director, there's really no reason she couldn't also step in front of the camera to play Jessica Drew as well. Bear in mind that the character has been portrayed as a seasoned S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in the comic books, not to mention the mother of a young child.
That makes Wilde the perfect age for a slightly more mature version of Spider-Woman, and the beautiful actress most definitely looks the part of the webbed warrior.
The chances of this happening are slim, but directors have been known to also perform in the projects they take charge of, so it's certainly not outside the realm of possibility. We'll just have to wait and see, but someone Wilde has collaborated with in the past is someone we'll get to a little later here.
7. Katherine Langford
Katherine Langford ended up being cut from Avengers: Endgame, but she's made an impact in 13 Reasons Why and Knives Out, so we know that the actress is a talent worth watching. In terms of appearance, she looks like a Jessica Drew who has just been torn straight from the pages of the comics, but a role like this requires more than just the right look.
In Langford's case, it's just a bonus, as she's one heck of a talent and the right age to make a team-up of sorts with Tom Holland's Spider-Man a very real and exciting possibility.
The actress has some serious dramatic chops, and could make Jessica both a character who people fall in love with and someone they soon realise is a legitimate badass. If Sony is looking for someone to play Spider-Woman they can turn into a star, Langford is a downright excellent choice.
6. Ana de Armas
Ana de Armas first came to our attention in Blade Runner 2049, but it was Knives Out that really put the actress on the map. She delivered a phenomenal performance in the Rian Johnson helmed murder mystery, and there's now a huge amount of excitement to see her in action in No Time to Die.
A James Bond movie will be the perfect place for de Armas to get used to the spy world, and the Cuban-Spanish actress would undoubtedly be a superb addition to Sony's Spider-Man Universe.
If Sony Pictures is hoping to launch a whole new franchise with Spider-Woman, de Armas would definitely fit the bill, and at 31, she's the right age to play Jessica Drew over an entire series of movies.
5. Florence Pugh
Yes, Florence Pugh is about to make her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, but if Yelena Belova is only going to be in Black Widow, then there's no reason Sony Pictures can't be next to add her to a major superhero franchise. Her star is on the rise in a big way, and Pugh would add some legitimacy to the project as well.
That could be necessary for a movie many moviegoers will probably dismiss as "Spider-Man...but a girl!" and if you've seen Fighting With My Family, you'll know how tough Pugh comes across.
She also has an extremely likeable side, and that's essential for a hero who has a murky past and is no stranger to being a double agent. In some ways, this could be too similar to her role in the MCU as another Black Widow, but depending on what route Sony takes Spider-Woman in, there's no reason this couldn't work.
4. Jessica Henwick
Jessica Henwick recently revealed that she came close to playing Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and that's something a lot of fans would have liked to see, especially after her work in Iron Fist.
The Netflix series won the actress a lot of fans, but with her unlikely to get the opportunity to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it would be great to see her instead suit up in the SUMC.
She could be a truly badass version of Spider-Woman, and has the fighting skills to make Jessica Drew feel like a true force to be reckoned with on the big screen. That's a must for this hero!
3. Rosa Salazar
Rosa Salazar is another up and comer who won't get the opportunity to return to the role that put her on the map. Alita: Battle Angel boasted a huge budget (making it impossible for it to turn a decent profit), but Salazar's performance - which was heavily enhanced with CGI - stood out.
She's a likeable, talented presence who is no stranger to action, and she could bring a human quality to Jessica Drew which Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock, for example, was lacking.
He wasn't a character it was fun to spend time with until he transformed into Venom but Spider-Woman needs to be more than that, and we're confident Salazar has all the necessary qualities to make it work.
2. Lana Condor
Lana Condor had a bit part in X-Men: Apocalypse as Jubilee, but she's since gone on to do much more than that. She's excelled in To All the Boys I've Loved Before and its various sequels, while it was recently revealed that the actress also came close to landing the role of Rey in Star Wars.
That aside, and Condor is another fresh face whose big break is surely on the horizon and it's not hard to see why she would make a good choice for a character such as this.
Yet again, she's not necessarily someone fans would suggest for the role, but if you can't picture her playing a badass superspy, we're not sure what to say! This would be something different, but that's no bad thing, and it would add a diverse and exciting talent to the planned movie.
1. Kaitlyn Dever
Kaitlyn Dever may not seem like the most obvious choice to play Spider-Woman, but she's an incredible actress who has delivered amazing performances in the likes of Unbelievable and Booksmart. The latter was obviously directed by Wilde, so a reunion with Spider-Woman makes sense!
Remember, in the Ultimate Universe, Jessica Drew is a female clone of Peter Parker's, and with Sony not having access to S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA, Sony could easily choose to take things in that direction.
In that case, Dever could be a perfect fit, and she would bring a youthful energy to the webbed warrior which helps her stand out as a vibrant and unique new addition to Sony's own shared world.

Disaster Movie Moments That Pissed Us Off The Most
Filed to:Movies
Sure, disaster movies are just empty calories of mass destruction — but even when you don't take them seriously, there are always some scenes that you just can't excuse. We've collected the most infuriating moments from the biggest disaster movies.
Disaster: Volcano
Our Breaking Point: The Subway Scene
How long do you think the people were sitting in that train? Seriously — how long? After a little while of watching people pass out, one after the other, from heat? I'd LEAVE. But no, this guy has to die a painful death walking through lava. Which in itself was a horrible thing — walk faster, melty guy!
Here's the remixed version — watch the full scene here.
Disaster: Deep Impact
Our Breaking Point: The Wave of Love
Nothing brings a daughter and a distant father back together like a giant tidal wave. Call me black-hearted, but this whole "I'm facing my destruction head on, and what? Oh hey, there's my dad who was never around. What the hey, I forgive you!" Tasted like yuck. And to all the people loading up their cars: Come on, it's the end of the world, the roads are always blocked. I bet they felt foolish when they realized they could have just stood on a high mountain to avoid the water. But the hug-it-out wave was still the worst.
Disaster: Armageddon
Our Breaking Point: Ben Affleck
Good theme music and spaceman slo-mo walking, but even if you can convince the audience that a team of misfit drillers can be trained to do their jobs in space, there's no way you can make me believe this scene. Remember, the crew went up in two ships, and they get separated. But don't worry, Ben Affleck's asteroid rover isn't damaged, and he and the remaining crew drive across a sharp-as-razors terrain, fly over a cannon, and find their way back to the other crew. After they shoot their way out of the ship. WHY DID IT HAVE GUNS IN THE FIRST PLACE? Uh, no.
Disaster: The Day After Tomorrow
Our Breaking Point: Frost Running
I didn't think it was possible for a character to piss me off more than when Dennis Quaid announced that he would be walking from Philly to New York, through the worlds most horrific storm, ever. And then his movie son Jake Gyllenhaal and his friends ran from frost, and a pack of wolves. They outran cold. You cannot run from cold, and you cannot protect yourself from cold by shutting the door, nor can you breathe air that is that cold — but screw science, you just plain can't run from cold.
Disaster: Twister
Our Breaking Point: Thank God For These Leather Straps
Twister was a fun movie about lunatics who chase twisters, thus making storm-chasing look infinitely cooler than it could ever be. But for the most part, it's just lots of driving and yelling up at the sky and seeing cows fly past, etc — you know, good stuff. Until the big one. At the end, Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt chase and get chased by the really, really big tornado, and instead of dying, they tie themselves with leather belts to a pole, and survive. Their arms remain intact and neither of them manage to get hit by any of the debris that is encircling them. Lucky ducks, eh?
Disaster: The Core
Our Breaking Point: Explaining Unobtainium
The science behind the ship. It's made out of unobtainium, so the hotter and deeper it gets the stronger it gets. And it's shaped like a penis. So yeah...
Disaster: Outbreak
Our Breaking Point: Dustin Saves The Town With His Words
Between a ton of accidental spills and the trained professional scientists sticking their hands into infected blood samples or falling asleep on the job, the worst moment of all is by far Dustin Hoffman's magical speech. Yes, it's worse than the little girl playing with the ebola host monkey. Never in a million years would Dustin Hoffman be allowed to sit up there in that plane. I'd give him two minutes before he was shot out of the sky.
Disaster: The Happening
Our Breaking Point: The Ending
First the plants attack cities, then the roads, then the small cities, then groups, then angry people, then it's the wind. What. The Hell. How can something that probably took millions of years to develop change in hours? Because M. Night said so, that's why — so quit your whining and watch the big ending payoff. Wahlberg and Zooey then decide to suicides themselves, because Zooey decided even though the plants are killing everyone, she should take their dead friend's child outside to run amuck. And now they are trapped — by wind. Time to give up hope and walk towards each other with big sweeping instrumentals, what HAPPENS? Nothing. "The event must have stopped before we went out here." Screw this movie.
Disaster: Dante's Peak
Our Breaking Point: Grandma Gives Her Life
While I agree with having those who have already lived full lives sacrifice themselves first, this is a freaking strange scene. They're like, "Five seconds to the dock," and she decides to walk to the shore too, for extra dramatics.
[Thanks to Annalee and Ray Wert for the phallic Core jokes]
