Dad kills mom, three kids in custody-related mass murder (Las Vegas, Nevada)
Leaving an abuser is the most dangerous time for women and children, especially when authorities do not take women's concerns seriously. This could have been prevented.
Dad is identified as JASON HAGAN DEJ-OUDOM.

Las Vegas police: Father kills wife, three children before turning gun on himself
By Associated Press Published: June 30, 2016, 7:41 pm | Updated: June 30, 2016, 8:25 pm
LAS VEGAS (AP) – A good Samaritan could not save a Las Vegas woman screaming for help as her gun-wielding estranged husband chased her from their home to two drug store parking lots in a chaotic murder-suicide that left a family of five dead, authorities said Thursday.
The man gunned down his wife outside a business and killed their children, ages 9 to 15, at their apartment before shooting himself at the residence, police said.
Homicide detectives are investigating what drove him to kill his family.
"It's really hard to understand how this could happen, how somebody could do that to children," police Lt. Dan McGrath said. Court records show that Phoukeo Dej-Oudom filed for divorce May 25 from her husband, Jason Hagan Dej-Oudom.
No attorney is listed in the petition, which said they were married in July 2000 in Columbus, Ohio.
The document asked a judge to consider domestic violence when considering custody.
It didn't provide any detail, but noted the involvement of Clark County Child Protective Services.
Police said they aren't releasing any details of a domestic violence call earlier this month because detectives are looking into it as part of the murder-suicide investigation. No one appeared for a June 22 hearing in the divorce case.
The Clark County coroner's office identified the couple's children, including 15-year-old daughter, Dalavanh Ariel Dej-Oudom, and sons, Xonajuk J.J. Dej-Oudom, 14, and Anhurak Jason Dej-Oudom, 9. The youngest child died of a gunshot wound to the head. The coroner hasn't released the cause of death for the 35-year-old woman or the other children.
A driver spotted Phoukeo Dej-Oudom waving her hands and screaming for help in the street near her home and picked her up Wednesday night.
Jason Hagan Dej-Oudom chased them to a CVS drug store two blocks away, where he dragged his wife into his car at gunpoint.
As he drove off, his wife partially hung out the window and eventually escaped and started running.
Witnesses saw Jason Hagan Dej-Oudom chasing her in his car while she fled toward a Walgreens about a half mile away.
Witnesses outside the store reported hearing four gunshots, and a bystander rushed to help the woman but she was already dead, with least one gunshot wound to the head, McGrath said.
Jason Hagan Dej-Oudom fled. A relative called police half an hour later saying the man was at the apartment and suicidal.
A SWAT team responded and found the bodies of the father and three children in a bedroom, though authorities were not sure if he killed the children before or after his wife.

You are Prollen the Mercenary and after first turning down 1000 gold coins, you have finally agreed to search for and kill Fordel the Evil Wizard for 10000 gold coins, not just for the money, but to rescue your friend. The Wizard is the leader of a viscous clan and also called the Elite Leopard Lord who is planning to take over the world by summoning a demon from the Nether Pits. To do this he needs to rip the still beating heart from a living body and your friend, Braneth is to be the sacrifice. The ceremony will take place on Midsummers Eve which is actually tonight. You must search the land, killing various creatures to find the location of the bloody ceremony and dispose of the Wizard once and for all.
Leopard Lord is a text adventure where the screen has text that describes your surroundings and you type in commands with the keyboard to interact with with each location that you visit.

When a student enters a clinical internship they are faced with a horrifying reality: A real live patient. All of the evidence and critical thinking in the world cannot prepare them for that interaction. How do you apply ALL of that information? They look to their clinical instructor for guidance which usually comes in the form of, "Here is what I do." But clinicians commonly do something funny here. They apply a template that was either taught to them via continuing education (often a proprietary "system", "approach", or "method") or a previous mentor, or was acquired via their own experience. It becomes "intuitive". To explore the problem here, we are going to go to two quotes from Daniel Kahneman, a nobel laureate who is an expert on human decision-making.
The experience of most clinicians is in short-term anticipation not long-term forecasting.
The assessment often looks for findings that anticipate a short-term, often immediate response to a particular treatment. As a matter of fact, many evaluative "systems" are specifically designed this way. They seek those immediate results and may even have some RCTs demonstrating those effects (be they specific or, most likely, non-specific effects). It is predictable and easily repeatable to the point that it becomes intuitive for the provider. This is very seductive to many students and new professionals and often the "best and the brightest" will adopt these approaches out of convenience. But many of these interventions are nothing more than clinical magic and placebos. Studies assessing the long-term forecasting of such treatments, something that most clinicians have ZERO experience with, are typically not very encouraging.
But students and new graduates need a template for how to approach their patients that is simple and timeless. Not some rigid "system" but one that will allow their practice to evolve with time while still applying the template. Not something that plays to short-term anticipation but rather addresses long-term forecasting.
This is what I teach my interns and other clinical instructors. It is a simple process of hierarchy that can be used no matter what the population is or your preferred practice philosophy. There are subjective and objective components to each section – I'm not going to get into those details. The goal is the important part. Again, a template, not a cookbook. What EXACTLY you look for and how you look for it will change over the years as our understanding evolves. But it should always fit this template.
The first thing you are determining is the presence of the "sinister" things. These, of course, include your red flags. Those are easy and well defined. The other part is other potentially serious pathologies that you should be aware of. The question you are really asking is, "Should I refer this patient out for an additional consult?" I work in sports medicine so for me I am typically looking for signs and symptoms of large torn structures like ligaments, cartilage, etc. You may be looking for fractures, neurological compromise, psychological problems, etc.
In medicine, the process for determining this is classically a differential diagnostic procedure. You want to create a list, the differential, of all the possible things you could be seeing. Then you systematically rule them out. Why not rule in? Well because in science you FALSIFY, not confirm.
Now, we are not talking about "PT diagnoses" – we'll establish that in the secondary exam. We are talking about things that may warrant, for example, a surgical consult. These tend to be specific diagnoses – "I believe you tore your ACL." Now, just because you suspect something specific in your primary exam, it doesn't mean you must make a referral. Current best-evidence will tell you that.
For example, you may highly suspect an acute meniscus tear. Since there are no signs of locking/rampant swelling, the current evidence suggests that conservative management is best at this time. No need to order a consult quite yet.
I find the primary exam to be the MOST IMPORTANT EXAMINATION SKILL-SET OF THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST. Know when you have significant pathology and when to make the appropriate referral. Keep in mind, you are not just looking for physical problems. For example, you may pick up on a potential major depressive disorder that requires a psychiatric referral.
To be honest, the majority of the patients that we see go on to the secondary exam without requiring an immediate referral, so let's move on.
Something in the organism is not tolerating the demand being placed upon it.
Physically – What positions/movements do they tolerate? How much load can they handle?
Mentally – How well are they educated regarding their situation?
Emotionally – Are there more layers to their injury? Do they feel safe?
Your goal here is to establish your starting point. Your job is to get to their level on all three components so you have a known starting point for your intervention.
You know where they are, now where do they need to be and by what date? These are their long-term goals. As the expert it is your job to advise them so that their expectations are realistic. Also, when you don't know (we often don't) be honest about it.
It is also your job just set very achievable short-term goals so that your patient can have quick success and stay motivated. It can also help you quickly identify when something is not going right and may need a new primary exam.
This seems to be weirdly complicated for a lot of clinicians which confuses me. Take where they are (established in the secondary exam) and progressively load them so they can adapt. Sometimes you do that by increasing reps per set. Sometimes by increasing the intensity or the speed. Usually it's increasing all types of loads systematically while giving the organism time to adapt. This goes for the emotional components as well, typically through some kind of graded exposure with appropriate reassurance. Again, the details change as the research changes, but the template still fits.
You absolutely need to bring their load tolerance above the anticipated demands of their ultimate desired task. You may need to look at the task to make sure that they aren't doing something REALLY goofy making the final demand unreasonable. I agree that this is a factor but I think that as a profession we overanalyze this concept. Get them adapting. Also, add some Placebo-fu.
And yes, there can be coordination factors, but that comes later – they need to tolerate more load first. And when you do want to change movement, that gets really complicated and specific.
Every so often (usually once a month for long-term rehab) start from the top again for a reassessment. Has something more serious begun to present itself? Reestablish where they are physically, mentally, and emotionally. Assess their progress. Do you need to adjust those goals?
That's pretty much it. If you feel good about your critical thinking skills but don't know how to apply them, just fit them into this template. It shows you the core questions that you need to ask yourself about the patient in front of you. Don't make things more complicated than they need to be.
Also remember that there are a lot of ways to load people. Follow the research on how best to apply the details as our understanding progresses over time. One day it may point more to eccentrics. Maybe isometrics play a greater role or you should be incorporating rate of force development more. The point is that the details change, but the framework remains.
Our intuition is better at short-term anticipation than long-term forecasting – Don't trust it!
Rule out "the sinister" things that require immediate referral.
Where is the patient physically, mentally, and emotionally? Start there.
Set reasonable and achievable short-term goals.


In my previous post, I discussed how all the existing Accounts and Contacts in the database can be transferred from one Salesforce instance to another by enabling two Salesforce instances to communicate with one another. In this post, I'll describe how to subscribe to these published objects, the use cases for Salesforce to Salesforce and how to overcome challenges you may have with the integration.
The destination environment doesn't have automatic access to the data published from the source environment. Instead, the org must first subscribe to the objects – login to the source instance and subscribe to these two objects and map the fields. This can be done by navigating to the Connections tab, selecting the destination connection, and hitting Subscribe. You'll now be presented with a list of the published objects to which you can subscribe.
The image above essentially declares the mapping between the objects from the source instance and the objects to which they'll map in the destination instance.
An additional flag is sometimes displayed – Auto-Accept. Upon selecting this option, records from the publishing org will be automatically accepted and the process will be entirely automatic. If the checkbox isn't selected, an administrator will first have to review incoming records before they are accepted. The checkbox is not always displayed. In particular, child objects are automatically accepted if parent objects are accepted, and the option is not available for junction objects either. Clicking Save completes the object level mapping. That is, we've defined which object from the source instance maps to which object in the destination instance. Now we need to map the fields. This can be done by clicking Edit next to each object. Here, we edit the Account object.
Clicking Edit beside the Account object in the subscribe objects list in the destination instance allows you to map Account fields in the source instance with Account fields in the destination instance.
As the above diagram shows, we've mapped each field to the same object field in the receiving environment.
Users in Salesforce1 with Manage Connections permission can share records using Salesforce to Salesforce. By using this mechanism, the user can transfer an Account or Contact which was created in source instance to destination instance.
In the list view of Accounts we can find Accounts we have created. Select the Account created now and click Forward to Connections button.
Clicking Forward to Connections opens a window where we need to select a connection from list of available connections. Here we need to select the connection name to which source instance is connected.
The selected Account record gets forwarded to destination instance. We can find the Account record which was transferred in the destination Account object as a record which was forwarded through external connection.
Salesforce.com User. Any user who is having Manage Connections permission can forward Contact from source instance to destination instance.
Create a Contact record from the related list of contacts present in the record view mode of Account record. After entering all the required data in the contact record, click Manage Connections present in related list of contacts in Account record view mode.
We created a checkbox field Named Externally Shared in Account object in Source instance.
We noticed a few issues while transferring records from source to destination where triggers and validation rules create obstacles which prevent the record from getting transferred to the destination instance.
While forwarding records from one Salesforce instance to another, we might find triggers which were configured at the destination. These triggers may fire when forwarding the record using the Salesforce to Salesforce connection, which in turn causes an error when inserting or updating the records while forwarding from the source Salesforce instance to the destination Salesforce instance.
In order to prevent these triggers from being fired while forwarding records using the Salesforce to Salesforce connection, we can use the following approach. (Note: When any record is forwarded from source to destination, the records created by user detail will be saved as Connection User.) By preventing the trigger in the destination instance from being fired for that particular connection user, we can control the effect of the trigger on the record while forwarding using Salesforce to Salesforce.
Place the following code after describing trigger events i.e. after the first line of the trigger.
The above code is used to restrict the trigger from being fired when the record is forwarded using the Salesforce to Salesforce connection. As I mentioned earlier, when a record is created or updated using the Salesforce to Salesforce connection the created by user is saved as Connection User. If we can prevent the trigger from being fired for that particular user, then we can insert or update records without having any effect from the trigger in the destination.
An ID of the connection user has to be used in place of UserLookupInput_Ikid=yyyyyyyyyyyy where we can get the UserLookupInput_Ikid id by using view pagesource in the record view mode page and on searching for the connection user in the source code. The ID has to be used in place of yyyyyyyyyyy. By using the above URL in system debug logs, we can get the connection user who's named as partnernetwork@00dz000000mi4nkmab.pnet. Here, ID represents the Salesforce.com organization ID of the user.

Q: How to do a triple integral with singularity in python? I have an integral
tplquad(lambda pz,py,px:f(px,py,pz),0, pi, lambda px: 0, lambda px: pi,lambda px, py: 0, lambda px, py: pi )

The integrand f(px,py,pz) has singularity at surface
cos(px)+cos(py)+cos(pz)=C

Because of that, sicipy gives warning for it.
How to handle this? How to exclude surface in tplquad or do a principal value integral in python?

Admiral Sir Charles Holcombe Dare KCMG CB MVO (1854-1924) was an English Royal Navy officer. He commanded several ships and shore establishments before and during World War I, and was knighted by King George V.
Dare was born on 9 November 1854 to Charles William Dare, a lawyer with a practice in London, and Anne Agnes (née Mew, from Newport, Isle of Wight) in North Curry, Somerset, one of four brothers and a sister. Dare's grandfather, also Charles Holcombe Dare, was a Land Tax Commissioner for North Curry. The family had connections in London and the Isle of Wight. Dare married Emily Agnes Harper, a railway guard's daughter who, unusually for the time, brought an illegitimate daughter, Maud, to the marriage.
Dare enlisted in the Royal Navy as an officer cadet, first serving as a midshipman on HMS Monarch, and was commissioned in 1868. He was a sub-lieutenant until 1879, when he was promoted to lieutenant. In 1893 he was promoted to commander.
On his promotion to commander, Dare was given command of HMS Lapwing, a Redbreast-class gunboat, one of the last built of composite materials. In 1898, he was in command of HMS Archer, serving for a time in the Far East. In 1900, he was promoted to full captain, temporary on promotion, in command of the third class cruiser, HMS Bellona.
In 1903 he was given command of HMS Assistance to carry out sea trials off Sheerness; the first of her type, she was a "floating dockyard" designed to go to sea with the fleet, at a cost of £213,000 In December 1903 he was put in command of the new armoured cruiser HMS Berwick, seeing service with the 2nd Cruiser Squadron; in March 1904 she returned to Chatham from the West Indes for a refit. In September the same year Dare was appointed to the Royal Victorian Order. In 1906 he was in command of HMS Ramillies for six months, following which, in September, he was put in command of the Eastern Coastguard District until April 1909.
In 1908 Dare was awarded a Good Service Pension of £150 per annum.
In March 1909, Dare was promoted to Rear Admiral on the retirement of Rear Admiral Fegan, conforming to the Navy's regulations on the permitted number of serving senior officers. Four months later, he placed himself on the retired list. At this time he was living near Ipswich and a vice-president of Erwarton Quoit Club, and made a speech on the occasion of the rector of Harkstead's 70th birthday.
A few months after the outbreak of the war, Dare was made a captain in the Royal Naval Reserve and in 1915 took command of HMS ''Idaho'', the shore establishment at Milford Haven, to counter the threat from German U-boats to shipping, including convoys, in the area. At the end of the war, Dare paid tribute to all who had served at the Milford base.
Dare was knighted by King George V in May 1919, the citation reading: For valuable services in command of the important Auxiliary Patrol Base of Milford Haven since February 1915.
Admiral Dare died on 6 August 1924 in Shotley, near Ipswich, aged 69; his death was reported in The Times. His wife survived him and his estate was valued at £2,593. His daughter, Maud G. Dare, left a family photograph album to The National Maritime Museum in 1915.

The Five Best Barbie Movies
By: Anna Cox
If you're anything like me, you absolutely freak out when you see the first look at Margot Robbie as Barbie in Greta Gerwig's Barbie (2023). And, in honor of the photo of Robbie as the iconic blonde doll coming out, here are the five best Barbie movies.
5. Barbie in a Mermaid Tale (2010)
Marking the beginning of the list, Barbie in a Mermaid Tale has all the quintessential tropes in a good Barbie movie. In the movie, Barbie plays Merliah, a champion surfer who learns that she is a mermaid who needs to rescue her mother, the queen of Oceana. The movie provides a new side of Barbie that wasn't commonly shown in the films that came before it: sporty Barbie. And, that may seem like a miniscule thing today, as many movies feature women in sports and portray them as something a viewer should attain to be, but barbie movies rarely did this. They always portrayed Barbie as the epitome of femininity and beauty, having her be ballerinas or princesses. But, this movie gave little girls that liked to play sports the reassurance that they were still just as beautiful and feminine as girls who like things that are traditionally feminine. With the help of her pink dolphins and mermaid friends, Merliah is able to save her mother from the evil mermaid aunt, Eris. The movie is all around a very good watch for Barbie lovers and spreads a great message about identity that all young girls should watch.
4. Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper (2004)
Barbie as Princess and the Pauper may be one of the most iconic Barbie movies. With a TikTok audio of one of the movies songs going viral, the movie is beloved by many girls that grew up watching Barbie's take on the tale of the Princess and the Pauper. The story follows Blonde princess Anneliese and brunette pauper Erika as they build a friendship following their discovery that they look almost exactly the same. They will have to work together to defeat Preminger, who wishes to marry a royal and gain control of the kingdom. The movie explores cliche themes of friendship in unlikely places, but since it is a kids movie, the message it sends is great for kids. It also uses the classic Barbie "girl-power" to defeat someone and gives the main protagonists their happily ever after, as they both end up marrying their loves. It is all around a fun movie and one of Barbie's best.
3. Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale (2010)
Being the Barbie movie that I find myself rewatching the most, Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale is definitely one of the highlights of my childhood. The movie is one of many where Barbie plays herself, but in this movie Barbie is famous because she makes Barbie movies in this universe. Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale, Barbie is fired during the filming of an adaption of The Princess and the Pea after questioning the choices of the director. She is blacklisted in Hollywood for the time being and Ken breaks up with her over the phone, causing her leave for Paris and live with her fashion designer aunt for a while. Barbie learns that her aunts fashion line is going out of business, so with the help of "flaries" (not to be mistaken with fairies), Barbie is able to save her aunt's brand and, in the end, gets the opportunity to direct her very own film. Now, the movie may sound all over the place, and it is, but it is still very fun to watch. It explores themes of working for success and getting back on your feet after your confidence has been shot. It is my personal favorite to watch, but it does not quite make it to the number one spot.
2. Barbie: Princess Charm School (2011)
Following the cliche of the lost princess trope, Barbie: Princess Charm School is about Blair, a teenage commoner in the kingdom of Gardenia as she wins a lottery to attend a school where girls learn how to act as princesses. Throughout the movie, Blair's chances of succeeding at the school are constantly challenged by Dame Devin and her daughter Delancey, as they suspect that she may be the lost princess. Blair, who is in fact the lost princess makes friends throughout the movie and finally gets reconciled with her kingdom. The movie is my personal favorite of the Barbie franchise and has a lot of things that are appealing to young girls. It's purpose is to make girls who otherwise would feel ordinary, like they are princesses. This is because the whole message is about who a princess isn't determined by her title, but her character. Yes, it is predictable and cliche, but it is still one of the most entertaining Barbie movies and is very enjoyable to watch.
1. Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses (2006)
If I called Barbie as Princess and the Pauper one of the most iconic, then Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses is THE most iconic Barbie movie. The movie follows Princess Genevieve and her eleven sisters who all share a passion for dancing. Living with their widowed father, the Duchess of Rowena is brought to teach the girls proper manners, and she enforces strict rules; one of those rules being that they can no longer dance. But, the girls find a path to a secret land when they should be in bed sleeping, and dance the whole night in the secret land. But, when the duchess notices that their dancing shoes are worn out, she sends someone to watch them. As the girls go to the magical land, the Duchess is poisoning the king with the hopes of taking over the land, but the girls find out and help save their father. It is one of the most popular Barbie movies, and rightfully so. It is a fun movie that sends a good message about sticking true to your passions. It also made me really want a secret passageway in the middle of my room as a young child.

This is Barbie and the Nutcracker (2001) erasure!!!!!!

This is a fabulously easy recipe that makes deliciously chocolaty treats. Everyone will be so surprised that the base of these goodies is saltine crackers.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees at some point while doing the next several steps, based on how long your oven takes to preheat to that temperature.
Cover a cookie sheet (with sides) with foil, and then grease the foil. (I just use some cooking spray.) Set out about a sleeve's worth of Saltine crackers — salt side up.
Prepare 1 cup of butter (two sticks), as you will be boiling it. To me, it is always easier when you cut them into pats of butter instead.
Plop them all into the sauce pan, and start melting them!
Add in 1 cup of packed brown sugar.
Starting to look good! Keep stirring frequently while waiting for it to start boiling.
Once you're done boiling the mixture, remove it from heat, and add in 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract. When you add the extract, it will start sizzling. (I suspect this has to do with the flash point of almond extract.) Just mix it throughout.
Pour the mixture over your crackers. The first thing I do when I pour is to try to get it as much over all the crackers as possible. This is what mine looked like at this point.
Now, go ahead and make sure to spread (using a spoon or the like) over the whole pan of crackers.
While the crackers and mixture are baking, you will be busy breaking up chocolate bars. Now, this is an important note — you need 20 oz of chocolate. The first time I made this, I looked at my Mom's recipe and saw four chocolate bars. I thought, hey — no problem, and bought a six pack of Hershey's bars. I then ended up scrambling while I was baking the mixture, because I realized it was four of the five ounce bars (those big ones), not the standard ones.
So, get your four BIG bars and break them into chunks while your crackers are baking. Or, if you have children, you can ask them to work on it instead.
Oooo…bubbly and cool looking! Your crackers are ready to come out of the oven. But, be careful, as I find it to be kind of liquid kava at this point, so you need to carefully carry it to a counter.
Toss your broken up chocolate onto the hot mixture. Seriously — do it as soon as you set the pan down. Then, just wait about 20 or 30 seconds. Just let them sit.
Okay, NOW you can try spreading out the chocolate with a spatula. But, I actually just spread it out some, and then step away again for about 20 – 40 seconds. This is how it looked after I first spread it out.
Once I stepped over to do it again after waiting, it easily spread the rest of the way.
Let this cool for a bit, and then you're going to break up the cracker candy and lay it on wax paper.
This has got to be one of the hardest parts of the recipe — letting it sit out to set the chocolate mixture before eating. And, seriously — sometimes we just don't wait. Sometimes we just have chocolaty fingers after enjoying a piece fresh off the pan.
I have made this several times. Sometimes the mixture coats the crackers and sometimes it absorbs into them. We love it either way but it is definately better the latter way. Does anyone know why it happens differently? Is it the brand of crackers or how long the caramel cooks or the type of butter or sugar?
Wow — thanks for the fun new ideas for making these! Club crackers and pecans sounds amazing!!!
This recipe is great also using graham crackers and leaving out the chocolate. YUM!
I love these things. My sisters makes them with Club crackers and adds pecan pieces. So good.
Oh lordie…… this looks crazy good!

Pat Robertson Loses Battle To Scrub Internet Of Comments About Gays Infecting People With AIDS Rings
Evan Hurst September 13, 2013
Almost exactly a week before we launched the NALT Christians Project, decent people were appalled by Pat Robertson's suggestion that gays in San Francisco intentionally infect people with AIDS by cutting them with special "AIDS rings." After sites like Right Wing Watch and ours helped the comments to reach the widest audience possible, the Christian Broadcasting Network attempted to turn back the clock and scrub the internet of the video, filing spurious copyright claims that resulted in the video being removed from YouTube, Vimeo and DailyMotion. Right Wing Watch happily reports today that their video is back up:
We filed a counterclaim with YouTube asserting that our video was protected by Fair Use and yesterday we finally received word that our video had been restored.
But the episode reveals the lengths CBN will go to hide and censor the statements made by its own leader. Now, the network is even considering legal action against a documentary critical of Robertson.
Amanda Marcotte had an interesting piece yesterday at AlterNet, where she explored the fact that, truth be told, people like Pat Robertson don't want their messages disseminated to the general population in a widespread way. It's worth reading in full, but here's the gist:
The problem with that theory [that people like Robertson are marginal figures to be ignored] is that right-wing, apocalypse-obsessed Christians are not marginal characters who have little power in the world. They constitute a huge percentage of Americans, and just as disturbingly, they have influence over another huge number of Americans. They actually don't want attention drawn to their wacky beliefs a good deal of the time. On the contrary, the preferred fundamentalist right-wing communication strategy is to use their own spaces—spaces that are often far from the prying eyes of the larger world—to talk about their lurid fantasies, and they prefer to show a more sensible, moderate face to the larger world.
Let's be clear: Pat Robertson does not want liberals watching the 700 Club. Mike Huckabee is careful to curtail some of his more extreme views when he's on national television. Rick Santorum has openly claimed that asking right-wing politicians about their hard-right views on things like contraception in the mainstream media is dirty pool. There's a widespread and concentrated effort on the right to keep the crazy talk as far out of sight of the opposition as possible, while simultaneously disseminating their ideas among the true believers. This reality doesn't comport with the claim that they benefit from mainstream media attention, but the opposite.
Here, just because Pat Robertson and CBN really don't want you to see it, is a reprise of the video:

Q: Merging 2 arrays values for the same key ... and retrieving values I have 2 arrays:
$gather = $_POST['gather'];
$client_id = $_POST['client_id'];

RESULTS:
Array1 ( [0] => hashtag [1] => followers [2] => latitude [3] => followers [4] => hashtag )
Array2 ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 [4] => 5 )

I want to use a foreach statement like this:
foreach($gather as $value)
{
    $update = mysql_query("UPDATE gather set gather_choice = '".$value."'  where client_id = '".$client_id[]."'  ")or die(mysql_error());
}

But each of my foreach statement need to take array1[0] and array2[0] .. then array1[1] and array2[1]
In the example, I don't know how to use the '".$client_id[]."'  to get the proper value for my sql query...
thanks

A: You need to assign the key to a variable in the foreach statement.
foreach($gather as $key => $value) {

}

Then you would use $client_id[$key].  You could also use $gather[$key] which would be equivalent to $value.
I won't copy your SQL statement because it is dangerous and subject to SQL injections and I highly recommend you look into PDO or MySQLi and use prepared statements.  You should never use user input ($_POST) directly in a query.

A: Assuming both the arrays are of the same size, you could use something like this:
$gather = $_POST['gather'];
$client_id = $_POST['client_id'];

$total = count($gather);  // count how many elements you have

for ($i = 0; $i < $total; $i++)  // and use a for loop
{
    $update = mysql_query("UPDATE gather set gather_choice = '". $gather[$i] ."'  where client_id = '". $client_id[$i] ."'  ") or die(mysql_error());
}

Or, you could use something like this, and retain the foreach() loop:
$client_id = array_reverse($client_id);  // we reverse the array so that, we can use array_pop on the array, and still get elements in the original order.
foreach($gather as $value)
{
    $update = mysql_query("UPDATE gather set gather_choice = '". $value ."'  where client_id = '". array_pop($client_id) ."'  ") or die(mysql_error());
}

Documentation:

*

*http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-pop.php

*http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-reverse.php

*http://php.net/manual/en/function.count.php

EDIT:
As @Devon said, your query is vulnerable. mysql_* is deprecated. Use mysqli_* or PDO instead.
Please also take a look at the answer to this question: Two arrays in foreach loop

A: Just use block below
foreach($gather as $key=>$value)
{
    $update = mysql_query("UPDATE gather set gather_choice = '$value'  where client_id = '$client_id[$key]'  ")or die(mysql_error());
}

Also you to consider in changing to mysqli, is very easy and safe rather than mysql_

SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo-man on K-pop future, running business
It's been more than 3 decades since Soo-man Lee founded SM Entertainment, one of South Korea's music agencies known for bringing K-pop to the world.
The entertainment company, originally founded as SM Studio in 1989, became one of the first to kickstart the global Hallyu wave — better known as the Korean wave.
But Lee's music was not always based off Korean pop music.
"I became a singer when I was 19. Although I was famous, I realized that the audience was really quiet when I sang because I sang folk songs," he told CNBC's Chery Kang in an interview for The CNBC Conversation.

"But when foreign bands come to [South Korea to] perform, they completely took over the stage and fans went wild. When I went to check out the concert, it seemed like the fans were more enthusiastic than in mine," said Lee, who is founding chairman of the company.
A vision for K-pop is born
Lee said that's when he began to think about taking South Korea's pop music to the world.
"As I studied in the U.S., I learned a lot and thought it would be nice to promote Korean songs and singers overseas. That's the start [of SM Entertainment]."
Over the years, the 70-year-old developed a system he calls "culture technology" — through which he recruited and nurtured talent in a systematic way of casting, training, producing, and management.
The system is behind the song production of SM Entertainment's K-pop top bands — such as Super Junior, Girls' Generation and Red Velvet.
SM Entertainment has represented K-pop artists like boy band Super Junior.

"There is a written 'culture technology' manual somewhere in my office," he said, explaining that it combines both culture and technology in a "logically formulized" way.
"The manual will allow employees to learn and transfer 'know-how' out of it. Because I'm an engineer, it is to be understood by logic. It lays out formulas," Lee said, sharing that he has a Master's degree in computer engineering.
"So, I can say that I am an engineer rather than an artiste."
We need to be at that world class level, and we are focusing on what's missing and what kind of distinctions we can make…
Soo-man Lee
Founder, SM Entertainment
Even as SM Entertainment's music continues to go global, Lee says it's important to continually innovate and stay ahead of the competition in the music industry.
"We need to be at that world class level, and we are focusing on what's missing and what kind of distinctions we can make" from other genres of music," he told CNBC.
Lee works with producers and songwriters from the U.K. and U.S. on accompaniments, track songs, kick drum and bass, which he adapts to South Korean and Asian culture.
As for the significance of China's influence in the K-pop industry, Lee admits that money will have a "powerful influence," but said he remains confident creativity that comes from producing will have "infinite value."
The issue of mental health is something that remains a focus for his company, Lee says.
"'Be humble, be kind and be the love' is what we teach our talents and people in SM … Things are a lot better now and global management companies are trying to learn about it."
Lee also said his company is "connecting them to counselors and doctors so that they can get help anytime. We may not have the same economies of scale like CNBC, but we learned these things are very important."
Future of K-pop
As for the future of K-pop, "I think the metaverse that everyone is talking about these days is the future," Lee says.
SM Entertainment established a metaverse world called SM Culture Universe, and launched its first metaverse girl band, Aespa in 2020. The group is made up of four real-life members – Karina, Winter, Ning Ning, and Giselle – and their corresponding virtual counterparts.

"SM Entertainment is building 'Play-2-Create'… people can discover their creative side and create in the metaverse. They will realize, 'Oh, I can create. I can make music. I can create dance moves. I can make clothes. I can style artists.'"
To realize the concept of "Play-2-Create," the company partnered with metaverse companies like The Sandbox earlier this year.
Players can create NFTs and games surrounding "K-content" in SMTOWN LAND, a virtual land in The Sandbox under SM Entertainment. NFTs are non-fungible tokens which are unique digital assets, like artwork and sports trading cards, that are stored using blockchain technology.
Lee believes that any country can create something as successful as K-pop, but the metaverse will be key.
"You cannot create a genre by copying K-pop. Everyone will view it as K-pop. Now, you need to show it in the metaverse."
Without looking at yourself in the mirror, you have no idea what you'd look like when dancing, even if you danced really hard…
"I think we just need to let the fans become producers and consumers at the same time. Let them create… Young people will have the huge satisfaction of creation and will end up creating massive amounts of intellectual property and content."
For those aspiring to become K-pop artists some day, Lee has this piece of advice: "Self-assessment is very important."
"Without looking at yourself in the mirror, you have no idea what you'd look like when dancing, even if you danced really hard … It is when you can see and feel what you don't do well that you learn."

Ten years ago, I experienced firsthand how Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans when I was temporarily deployed as the chaplain to the 1/179 Infantry Battalion, 45th Brigade of the Oklahoma Army National Guard.
I saw several things there that I'll never forget.
First, I'll never forget the Amur leopards, orangutans, and the mysterious white alligators. Our unit bivouacked outside the Audubon Zoo, and securing it was part of our job.
However, our biggest job became patrolling our sector of the steamy city in eight-man squads. Every patrol was a dirty, dangerous and often gruesome job that our soldiers carried out with the same seriousness they use to approach combat.
We patrolled in full "battle rattle," the maximum amount of gear a soldier is expected to carry: helmet, goggles, flak vest, tac vest, pistol belt, canteen — essentially our "go to war" pack.
From the backseat of a Humvee, I saw folks watching us with uncertain eyes, unsure if they should thank us or blame us for not coming sooner. You could see the abandonment haunting those left behind, discarded and marginalized. Like something out of a zombie movie, they wandered abandoned roads searching for food and shelter.
My most notable recollection is of the odor, a hybrid of every possible sewer odor with every imaginable stink from the city dump. Floodwater sloshed through our doorless Humvee, and we were baptized with the gagging brown slush.
Moreover, I won't forget how quickly so many otherwise law-abiding people succumbed to corruption. They broke open doors on blocks of stores using stolen cars and even a forklift. People used the storm to finish their quarrels. Criminals settled scores with police officers, and a few bad officers settled scores with whomever they pleased.
Our sector was a working-class neighborhood with shotgun homes sitting on elevated stilts or sloops. If no one answered our knock, we used our master key — a 20-pound sledgehammer. In each home, we looked for survivors, looters or bodies. We sometimes found all three.
My best memory was conducting a Sunday worship service inside a classroom at the zoo. Addressing a mix of soldiers and zoo employees, I began by asking folks to name the hardest thing they'd likely remember from the week.
Most of the soldiers mentioned separation from families or the heat. Some spoke about their pride in rescuing pets and senior citizens. Employees talked about losing their homes, while some soldiers dared mention the donning of surgical masks to manage the rancid smell of the dead.
I told them the Psalm represented the prayer of New Orleans, and they were appointed to answer that prayer. Then I called them something I suspect they'd never been called.
Now, 10 years later, U.S. Census Bureau statistics show that New Orleans is again among the 50 most-populated cities in the U.S. Businesses continue their rebound, with some even surpassing pre-Katrina levels.
Ten years later, these statistics give me some hope that my worst memories of Katrina are becoming an answered prayer for a new, New Orleans. God Bless you NOLA as you continue to recover.

1929-1989. An early American indie filmmaker. He was, first, an actor - sometimes acting gigs (and those of his wife, Gena Rowlands) would help finance his DIY filmmaking. Got friends to do the acting (in later years, that meant people like Peter "Columbo" Falk and Ben Gazzara); fellow maverick Charles Mingus did the soundtrack for Shadows, Cassavetes' debut. Somehow the films got made. His best work was an un-juvenile, unflinchingly unflattering, look at the male animal.

John Cassavetes is regarded as a pioneer of cinema verité and American independent filmmaking.
Born in 1929, the son of Greek immigrants, Cassavetes graduated from the New York Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1950 and began acting in plays, television dramas and, later, films. He was often cast as a juvenile delinquent character in the James Dean style.
A turning point for Cassavetes came in 1956, when he began teaching method acting in NYC and Manhattan. He saw in one of his group's sessions the potential for a filmed version. To raise money, he appeared on a radio talk show and solicited listeners' contributions toward an alternative to Hollywood cinema, netting somewhere in the region of $20,000. He bolstered this with his own earnings, including those from the jazz detective TV series Johnny Staccato (1959), for which he took the lead role and sometimes directed.
The success of his fundraising enabled Cassavetes to release the 16mm feature Shadows in 1959, although it would not see a stateside release until 1961. Shadows is an important landmark in independent American film. Much of the dialogue was improvised and filmed "live", and the crew consisted chiefly of Cassavete's students, friends and other volunteers. The soundtrack is by Charles Mingus. The film centres around an interracial relationship in 50s beat generation NYC.
It's important to remember in today's post-Blair Witch, post-Dogme 95 landscape that the improvisational, "live" approach of Shadows stood in stark contrast to the film styles of the time, and forged a new path for American filmmakers (and audiences) to explore. The film won the Critics Award at the 1960 Venice Film Festival following its release in Europe, which helped it secure a US release (as a European import).
The critical success of Shadows led to offers of studio work, and as a result Cassavetes directed Too Late Blues (1962) and A Child Is Waiting (1963). These were not particularly successful critically or financially, and the experience of creative "intervention" while working under major studios (Paramount and United Artists, respectively) led Cassavetes to focus his future filmmaking efforts on purely independent productions.
These efforts would be financed mainly by Cassavetes' acting roles, which included memorable performances as Victor Franco in The Dirty Dozen and Mia Farrow's pact-making actor husband, Guy Woodhouse, in Polanski's Rosemary's Baby.
His next three films were Faces (1968) - which received three Academy Award nominations, including Best Writing for Cassavetes - Husbands (1970) and Minnie and Moskowitz (1971). All used improvised dialogue and handheld camera work.
Cassavetes' next film is often acclaimed as his masterpiece. A Woman Under the Influence (1974) featured Gena Rowlands (Cassavetes' wife since the 50s) and Peter Falk, and examined perceived mental illness and its effect on the lead characters' marriage. Cassavetes received an Oscar nomination for Best Director, and Rowlands received the award for Best Actress - results that were mirrored in the Golden Globe awards.
A Woman Under the Influence was unusual for a Cassavetes production in that he prepared a detailed script before shooting began, though it is not wholly without improvisation. Falk and Cassavetes funded the feature, and along with Rowlands they worked coast to coast on promoting, distributing and booking the title - Cassavetes had been unhappy with the distribution of his previous films.
He repeated the critical success of A Woman Under the Influence with his next feature, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976), a highly atypical study of a mob-related murder.
Cassavetes directed four more films before his death, although the final title, Big Trouble (1986) was taken on as a favour to the producers after the original director quit, and Cassavetes considered the final result a "disaster", lamenting that "people not only would think I made Big Trouble, but that it was my final film." Sadly, it was his final film, and Cassavetes died of cirrhosis of the liver in 1989.
Cassavetes' work is sometimes criticised for being self-indulgent or slow, but it's undeniable that he provided an uncompromising antidote to Hollywood cinema, and served as a beacon of creative bravery and integrity. His films, though almost all are available on DVD, are relatively unknown among filmgoers. But he is still owed a great debt for his pioneer work and dedication; without his work, we would have a poorer cinema today. Sadly, Cassavetes' drive and passion for filmmaking often isolated him from the film industry and his colleagues, and took their toll in the alcoholism that would eventually kill him.
In 1984 Michael Ventura directed an acclaimed biography of Cassavetes, I'm Almost Not Crazy, although today this is hard to locate.
Nick Cassavetes, one of three children, is a successful actor/director, and in 1997 directed She's So Lovely from his father's script.
