Q: SQL Benchmarks: PHP ActiveRecord ORM vs. MySQL vs. CodeIgniter Active Record vs. Standard PHP Tests updated to be more readable; all done within a 100x foreach loop.
The test query is SELECT * FROM school_courses;
Can anyone provide "outside-the-box-thinking" feedback as to:
a) Why PHP ActiveRecord ORM takes 4 seconds to perform the same query per the below results?
b) Whether this is a practical benchmark or more of a hypothetical one for comparing methods of querying?
c) Are there other methods (test cases) I should try (or revise these ones) to get a clearer picture?

A: So the reason why PHP ActiveRecord ORM introduces so much overhead when benchmarking concurrent connections is due to the fact that each result that is returned instantiates a new Model object. This being integral to the usage of this ORM library, I don't see any reasonable way of making changes without overhauling the entire library.
Here is what I found:
Inside the find_by_sql() method in the Table class, you have:
    $sth = $this->conn->query($sql,$this->process_data($values));

    while (($row = $sth->fetch()))
    {
        $model = new $this->class->name($row,false,true,false);

        if ($readonly)
            $model->readonly();

        if ($collect_attrs_for_includes)
            $attrs[] = $model->attributes();

        $list[] = $model;
    }

Specifically, the dynamic model instantiation new $this->class->name() is responsible for the overhead, weighing in somewhere around 0.004 per result fetched, let's say.
You take this and multiply it times the number of records now, (10 records = 0.04). Now multiply that by the number of concurrent connections, let's say 100, and you have an foreseeable bottleneck problem.
Four (4) seconds for 100 users (hypothetically speaking) accessing a table at the same time containing 10 records.
Should I be concerned at this point that the number of records being fetched could potentially cause bottlenecking issues due to the way this library is instantiating a model class for every record?
Again, this all could be hypothetical speech at this point that may never exist or present a problem in the real world assuming proper use of an ORM. And unless these tests or conclusions are inaccurate, what I'm trying to simulate here is traffic load for say 100, 1,000 and 10,000 active on-site visitors.
In other words, if I don't ever add another course (limit 10), will 10,000 visitors browsing the courses page, for example, lead to a 400 second (6.67 minute) wait time for others to move off the page? And if that's the case, then I will have discovered my own answer (hence this post) and will look into finding another ORM or resort to refactoring on a case-by-case basis.
Is this this most appropriate way of benchmarking and simulating traffic load?

A: Rewrite recommendation:
I don't want to sound brutal but you can save a lot of headache in the future as well as keep up with current practices if you forget everything you know about mysql_(). By today's standards it is trash honestly. Look into mysqli_  or PDO as your db interfaces.
mysqli_ : http://us2.php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php
PDO: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php
Report back benchmarks then...

A: Your simple query isn't really a fair test. ORMs are fine and fairly competitive for simple queries that like that. It's more complex ones (i.e. LEFT JOIN) that ORMs create inefficient queries on and you end having to bypass them. ORMs will always be slower than raw SQL written by someone who knows SQL. Of course, knowing SQL is the key.
If you are considering ORMs, you really should try Doctrine. I am not a fan ORMs (at all), but that is the most popular PHP ORM out there.
Bulk inserts are also another area where some ORMs and DB abstraction layers trip up. Instead of recognizing that a bulk insert can be used, they do single inserts in a loop. That is going to cause table locking issues on MyISAM in addition to being slow. Perhaps add a bulk insert test, letting each DB layer generate the insert query if possible.
What your testing method does reveal is that over many iterations the overhead of each DB access method adds up. I would suggest eliminating query overhead altogether and just use "SELECT VERSION()" instead.

I can't quite believe it's taken me over three months to finally get around to writing up about my experience of spending a night up in the clouds at Shangri-La at The Shard. Where has that time gone!?
This year, and last year, my husband and I kicked off the new year in style by deciding to spend the first day of the year in London and, more importantly, by checking into one of the cities most iconic hotels.
Over the past few years I have found myself enjoying New Years Eve less and less and what used to be a good excuse for a night out has now become another excuse to stay at home snuggled up under a blanket! These days I much prefer the idea of starting off a New Year in the right way on New Years Day, opposed to the more popular choice of New Years Eve.
I think this was one of the best decisions we ever made because starting a new year off in such a great and memorable way (on New Years Day) was so much more enjoyable than waking up, feeling hungover and wishing the day away.
We're not really the kind of people to ever go back to somewhere more than once. We like to experience new places and hotels so it never makes sense to us to repeat stay anywhere. The only exception to this rule has been Shangri-La at the Shard and it's really not difficult to see why.
It's hard to put into words just how amazing this bathroom was to experience first hand. I don't think I have ever stayed anywhere with such an impressive bathroom and there is no denying that the majority of the 'wow factor' came from that view. I could never tire of that glorious view.
When you're there it just doesn't feel real. I found myself continually wandering back into the bathroom just to appreciate the view and our surroundings. It was a view that was always changing and getting more beautiful from the reflections of sunshine on all of the skyscraper windows, to the dusty haze of sunset and then the grand finale of the city which comes alive with beautiful twinkly lights at night. Bathing in that tub at night was a real highlight of our entire stay.
I nearly forgot to mention the super technically advanced toilet too. It's a toilet that not only warms the seat for you but also one which, if it should take your fancy, washes and dries your private area! I never knew what real luxury was until I discovered the joy of a heated toilet seat. It's really not something you could ever miss from your life until of course you try one for yourself.
Both times we have stayed at this hotel we have really enjoyed taking a walk along the South Bank and eating out at one of our favourites like Yo Sushi or Wagammas. This hotel really is in the perfect location for exploring one of my favourite sides of London and with Borough Market and the Tate Modern a stones throw away there's plenty to explore on foot.
Whilst waiting for our room to become ready we decided to spend an hour at one of Shangri-La's restaurants and I really wasn't expecting to find anything vegan friendly on the menu but to our surprise there was a couple of options. They were both pretty tasty but for the price I would suggest venturing outside of the hotel to get something more value for money. It was however a great place to sit back and enjoy the view.
If you do ever stay at this hotel i'd really recommend making a visit to the Sky Pool on one of the upper levels. It's not a huge pool but it's a lovely area to relax and, again, enjoy the view. There's something about the view which becomes even more magical when enjoyed from the pool and it's a great spot for taking photos.
It's a pricey hotel and the service you receive certainly reflects the money you're spending there. For us it's saved as a treat for a special occasion and its by no means somewhere we'd check into for week long holiday. We live too close to London to ever even warrant that! But if you are looking to stay somewhere to remember or impress then it has to be here. No where else even compares!
You can also watch my vlog from the time we stayed at this hotel and enjoy a room tour!
That looks amazing! The heated toilet seat thing made me laugh - we went to Tokyo a couple of years ago and when I came home UK toilets just seemed so boring!

The efforts to marginalize and severely restrict if not outlaw the management of subluxation in a vitalistic model are happening so rapidly and in so many places at once it is hard to keep track. Chiropractors in the United States have watched in shock as the wave of attacks have spread from the United Kingdom, to Australia, Canada and of course the United States.
Now the Chiropractic Cartel and its band of subluxation deniers have set their sites on Colorado with the infamous RULE 15.
The Rule has to do with so called UNPROVEN tests or procedures. It lays out what is considered unproven and how you must get informed consent from doing tests or procedures the BOARD deems to be unproven.
Now before you go further I want you to think about all the things you do in your practice to determine if a patient is subluxated or not. Then understand this rule in that context and in the context of the larger picture of what is happening to the practice of managing vertebral subluxation around the world.
And understand that all of it is being driven by the same people.
Making matters worse for Colorado chiropractors is that they are unlucky enough to have one of the most outspoken and venomous anti subluxation zealots in the profession: Michael Simone DC sitting on the Colorado Baord in judgment of other chiropractors. Simone is past Chairman of the Board of the American Chiropractic Association and card carrying member of the West Hartford Group – a rabid anti subluxation special interest group. Readers may recall that Simone has stated publicly that chiropractors who practice in a vitalistic subluxation model should be ELIMINATED and that chiropractors should prescribe drugs.
He now sits on the Colorado Board. Is it any wonder that this issue has raised its ugly head?
The language of RULE 15 requires all tests and procedures to be taught in chiropractic schools accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE).
Whether the test or procedure is taught as part of the regular curriculum of at least one college of chiropractic approved by the Council on Chiropractic Education.
It gets worse. Read the language very carefully.
Any practice system, analysis, method, or protocol which that does not include the complete assessment, evaluation, or diagnosis of the condition to be treated before beginning treatment of the patient.
Any practice system, analysis, method or protocol, which that relies upon diagnostic methods that are not generally recognized or accepted within the profession or which that does not have scientific validity.
Any practice system, analysis, method, or protocol, which that is represented as a means of attaining spiritual growth, comfort, or well-being.
The Board of Chiropractic Examiners will hold a stakeholder meeting to collect input on proposed changes to Board Rule 15 on November 14, 2018.
This rule, intended to harm chiropractors and using restraint of trade to do it, should be struck down and every effort on the part of chiropractors to do so should be utilized. Further, Michael Simone should be forced to recuse himself from any involvement in this Rule due to his blatant and publicly stated animosity towards the very chiropractors this is intended to harm.

The Supreme Court has shattered the dream of APC to field candidates in the forthcoming polls in rivers state.
The apex court on Tuesday struck out the party's appeal, which is challenging an earlier judgement of a high court which prevented the party from presenting Tonye Cole as, the state's governorship candidate.
The apex court upheld one of the appeals filed by a faction of APC, loyal to Senator Magnus Abe in its preliminary objection to the election of cole as the state's APC governorship candidate.
The court promises to give reasons for its verdict at a later date.
Three other appeals on the state's disputed primaries are still before the apex court.

Q: How do i share large characters of text via whatsapp? I want to share a chunk of text which i am sharing with this code:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Your score and Some extra text");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "The title");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share..."));

It works fine but i discovered that once the user chooses share via whats app, the text characters are truncated.
However, i saw this fix online:
try{
        Uri uriUrl = Uri.parse("whatsapp://send?text="+text+"");
        Intent launchBrowser = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uriUrl);
        startActivity(launchBrowser);
    }
    catch(ActivityNotFoundException e){
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Whatsapp Not Installed.", 2000).show();
    }

The problem with this code it that it limits sharing to whatsapp only. This is not what i want. How do i share large text from textview with the Intent.createchooser method?


HARARE - A Zimbabwean woman has been summoned to stand trial this week for insulting Robert Mugabe five years ago.
This is a case of justice delayed.
Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights says 43-year-old Flora Karosi was summoned to stand trial on Tuesday this week for a crime she committed five years ago.
That crime was to insult Mugabe while he was still the president.
He's alleged to have called him a geriatric and a little president.
In recent months the same law has been used to arrest and charge a number of people for insulting Mugabe's successor, Emmerson Mnangagwa.


A Thought: One of the things we take for granted every day, is the ability to breathe.
Clean, fresh air is essential for human life. When we are feeling anxious, something as simple as breathing in a deep breath and exhaling slowly, is a real gift to feel a sense of calm and peace again. Whether in traffic, conflict resolution, or confusion, just Breathe, and release your troubles to God. As you breathe, say a prayer. Your head will clear and your heart will feel less burdened. Breathe in the love and confidence of Christ this new day and every day of your life!

Q: Is there a way to split JTextField into integer I am currently making a calculator, which do the calculations for The Runge-Kutta method to solve differentialequation.
I want the user to input their differentialequation in a JTextField (DiffEqua), and then convert this from a String to Integer input, that can be used for calculations. i.e y+5*Math.sin(x)
The problem is how do I convert this String into a variable, that will contain, integers, x, y, sin, cos and tan.
I'ved tried to convert the whole String to integer, but I believe it has to be splitted or parsed somehow.
double i = Integer.parseInt(DiffEqua.getText());

The variable will be used in this context:
public void solve(double y, double h, int j, double i){
xArray = new double[j];
yArray = new double[j];
for(int dex = 0; dex < j; dex++){
    F1 = h*f(x,y,i);
    F2 = h*f(x+h/2,y+F1/2,i);
    F3 = h*f(x+h/2,y+F2/2,i);
    F4 = h*f(x+h,y+F3,i);

    y = y + 1.0/6.0*(F1+2*F2+2*F3+F4);

    xArray[dex] = x;
    yArray[dex] = y;

    x = x + h;
  }
}
private double f(double x, double y, double i){
     return i;
}

A: I think you could try to split the content of the JTextField at every comma or so, for example:
String[] numbers = DiffEqua.getText().split(",");
double[] numbersAsDouble = new double[strings.length];

for(int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++){
  numbersAsDouble[i] = Double.parseDouble(numbers[i].trim());
}

This requires the User to seperatethe numbers with commas in the TextField.

A: There's plenty of methods you can use from the String class, just read Oracle docs about the String class at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/lang/String.html and maybe you'll find your happiness there.

Colombia investigating Canadian oil company's contributions to 2014 campaigns
by Adriaan Alsema September 1, 2019
Colombia's prosecution is investigating whether bankrupt Canadian oil company Pacific Rubiales was illegally financing the 2014 presidential campaigns of former President Juan Manuel Santos and his opponent, according to weekly Semana.
Pacific, which went bankrupt in 2016, is suspected of having contributed $2 million (COP7.2 billion) to the campaigns of Santos and his then-opponent Oscar Ivan Zuluaga.
The center right U Party and Radical Change party reportedly also may have received illegal campaign contributions.
The Santos and Zuluaga campaigns are already under investigation for allegedly receiving illegal campaign contributions from corrupt Brazilian engineering firm Odebrecht.
Clinton changed stance on Colombia trade deal after receiving oil money: report
Frontera rings the alarm
The Prosecutor General's Office was alerted of the possible election fraud by a representative of Frontera Energy, whose Canadian office found irregularities in the books of the company it took over after the bankruptcy, according to Semana.
The most suspicious of transactions was the transfer of $765,000 (COP2.6 billion) on June 10, 2014, five days before the second round of the elections.
This money was reportedly sent from Pacific subsidiary Meta Petroleum Corp to finance "an important event that will take place in Colombia in the coming days."
Frontera reportedly found out this important event referred to the elections when going through the emails between one of Meta Petroleum's financial officers and the company's vice-president of Corporate Affairs during an internal investigation.
The corporate network
Emails between former Meta Petroleum CFO Carlos Perez and the Corporate Affairs veep revealed that seven payments were made, allegedly to multiple 2014 political campaigns.
One of these payments was made to Sancho BBDO, a PR company that allegedly received $1 million from Odebrecht to conduct a poll ahead of the 2014 elections but allegedly ended up financing Santos' campaign.
Another payment was made to Sistole, a sister company of Sancho BBDO and a third payment was made to Pato de Hule, the company of Luis Peña, one of Sancho BBDO's executives.
Yet another payment was made to Langton International Holding, another company that has appeared in the Odebrecht case.
From Toronto with love
Frontera also reportedly found two suspicious international transfers of $535,000 were made from Pacific Rubiales' headquarters in Toronto to Northrock Resources, a Calgary-based mining company, on June 12, three days before the elections.
Pacific's successor told Semana that "all the people who authorized these payments were employees of Pacific and none are officers, employees or any other type of representatives of Frontera."
The prosecution forwarded copies of all the evidence to the National Electoral Council and the congressional Accusations Committee who are also investigating the alleged corporate corruption of the 2014 elections.

Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
Review of Suzanne Collins' Prequel to the Hunger Games Trilogy
Reagan Brown, Co-Editor in Chief
RETURN TO THE ARENA: 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, another girl from District 12 made history in the Hunger Games. Suzanne Collins takes readers to the 10th annual Hunger Games in her newest prequel to the Hunger Games trilogy. (Cover art from Amazon)
Everyone remembers that time when they were in middle school and were slightly obsessed with archery because of The Hunger Games. Well, it is time to dust off your toy bow and arrows because Suzanne Collins is back with a new addition to the Hunger Games universe.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which was released in May of 2020, takes readers almost sixty-five years into the past. The book follows the perspective of Coriolanus Snow before he became president of Panem. The once-feared Snow family had fallen on hard times, which meant that Coriolanus would need to prove himself during the Hunger Games. Instead of participating, Snow and the other children of the Capitol would be mentors for the tributes. For Coriolanus, this would be his one shot to reinstate his family's name. Throughout the story, we meet Lucy Gray Baird, who lived in District 12 when she was selected as a tribute for the tenth annual Hunger Games. As a tribute, her one goal was to stay alive. Together Coriolanus and Lucy Gray work together in hopes that they would both make it out alive.
Content-wise, the book is drastically different from Collins' first three books. The book is split into three separate sections, which mimics the idea of a trilogy. Each section is around 150 pages, so there is plenty of content and action per section. Yet, even though there was time to have a build-up to a large climax, it sadly dissipated with several minor climaxes spread throughout. While the content was there, it seemed as if some was forgotten in an attempt to tie up loose ends from the original trilogy.
Even though The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes did not live up to my expectations, it was still an enjoyable read. It does not add extra information to The Hunger Games, so it is not an essential read. But still, the book is a great dystopian novel and would be a stellar addition to your bookshelf. After reading it, I would recommend the book to anyone who is interested in a well-written dystopian society or someone who enjoyed Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games.

Campbell, who wrote all but two of the songs1, isn't afraid to play around in genre. The soul song "Come Undone" could easily fit on a Sharon Jones record, and doesn't sound out of place on this record at all. Then there's the rockabilly "Get Behind Me," and the folk "Cool Water" in which Campbell ditches Lanegan temporarily in favour of Willy Mason. Then there's "To Hell & Back Again" which wouldn't be out of place on a Gentle Waves2 record.
The Apples In Stereo have been around for a long time as the definitive pop band of the '90s. Their sugary melodies have made a name of Robert Schneider's songwriting. Travellers in Space and Time is their first record without Schneider's ex-wife Hilarie Sidney, who would traditionally provide one or two songs per album. While her songs were never what defined the band's sound, they were always a highlight, and it feels as if that's missing from the record.
The album lifts heavily from the early disco sounds which Toronto's new mayor is a big fan of. Unfortunately it's not a song that can easily support a full album, let alone an hour long, sixteen track record.
There are definitely highlights, among them are "Hey Elevator" and "C.P.U." but the record is too much of a rehashing of other things they've done. The aforementioned "C.P.U." could have easily fit it with Her Wallpaper Reverie.
I was in Vancouver, and my ex-sister-in-law, who was nice enough to show me around the city, took me to Zulu Records. I asked the employees there to recommend a few CDs. They gave me a few options, and this one stuck with me. Turns out he, along with his fellow employees were in the band. The EP is a a throwback to post-Gram Parsons 1970s country-rock, they do very well at emulating what those who once emulated Parsons himself, such as The Rolling Stones.
The EP's a nice snack of six songs, easily taken in, and will be interesting to see where this band goes from here. If they come to Toronto, I'd certainly head out to see them.

WVU Researchers Advance Aquatic Physical Habitat Monitoring with Drones
Researchers at West Virginia University are developing cutting-edge research methods using drone technology that could revolutionize the way resource managers monitor human land-use impacts on stream ecosystems.
Jason Hubbart, director of the Institute of Water Security and Science and professor of hydrology and water quality in the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design, and Paul Kinder, director of the Natural Resource Analysis Center, are using the technology to quantify stream physical habitat and bank erosion within the West Run Watershed in Monongalia County.
"Unmanned aerial vehicles – or drones – are gaining in popularity as a means to assist with natural resource and environmental systems management," Hubbart said. "Traditional methods of field data collection, processing and analysis are labor intensive and expensive. UAV technologies offer tremendous potential to increase efficiencies and improve decision-making related to managing these resources."
According to Hubbart, conducting physical habitat assessments is so costly and labor intensive that seldom are the data collected, and if they are, only once.
"It takes great effort and investment in equipment to hike an entire stream system and collect comprehensive physical data at short distances," he said. "This research changes all of that."
Drone technology allows a single person to collect continuous data and the work can be easily repeated.
"That latter point is very important," Hubbart said. "Seldom is there a series of physical habitat assessment data collected over time from a given stream or river. With this technology, we can repeat as often as we like to quantitatively characterize how much the structure and function of a given stream changes over time."
The West Run Watershed encompasses 22-square kilometers and is a tributary of the Upper Monongahela River. According to Hubbart, recent assessments indicate the watershed is representative mixed-land-use with forest, agriculture and urban, making it well-suited for this research.
"The watershed is one of the most rapidly developing areas of Monongalia County and West Virginia with increasing urbanization, agricultural, industrial, and mining land uses," Hubbart said. "All of which have variously contributed to land and water resource degradation."
Flooding has also become more prevalent in the watershed due to ongoing development activities often resulting in increased runoff and alteration of runoff timing. With these increases, the stream channel migrates to accommodate the additional flow, increasing streambank erosion and potentially resulting in channel realignment.
"Degradation of streambanks and the migration or realignment of water channels can severely impact watersheds through loss of valuable land, exacerbated flooding, increased sediments in downstream environments, water quality degradation, loss of fish habitat and thermal refuges, and greatly reduced recreational use," he added.
In addition to increased flooding, the watershed is also subject to water borne pollution including acid mine drainage, fecal coliform – indicating it has been contaminated with human or animal fecal material - and suspended sediment. Since 2014, the stream has consistently appeared on the West Virginia's 303(d) list – a section of the Clean Water Act identifying impaired bodies of water - due to biological impairment.
Although researchers have access to data previously gathered through physical habitat assessments, Kinr noted there are still questions to be answered.
"Is the stream functioning properly – or is it in a state of instability," Kinder said. "Ecologically speaking, is it supporting life in the diversity and quantity one would expect? How does its form and function compare to a stable and healthy system?"
That's where drones come into the picture. Kinder will utilize the technology to capture low-altitude aerial images and video in and around streambanks within targeted areas of the watershed.
"The imagery will be used to create digital surface models that will be measured and compared with physical habitat assessments including streambank measurements to develop and validate the method," he said.
"Physical habitat assessment data is invaluable to resource managers but it's not feasible to collect frequently because of the time and cost involved," Hubbart added. "The use of drone technologies to collect physical habitat data will provide an easily repeatable method that will help resource managers determine the health of specific bodies of water, and thus make timely decisions about restoration and rehabilitation efforts to ensure the health of the stream and its inhabitants."
More information about the use of drone technologies for rapid stream physical habitat assessments (rPHA) can be found in a recently-published journal article by Hubbart, Kinder, Dr. Elliott Kellner and Dr. Kirsten Stephan. The article, "Challenges in Aquatic Physical Habitat Assessment: Improving Conservation and Restoration Decisions for Contemporary Watersheds," helps draw attention to rPHA challenges and research needs including, but not limited to, field-based validation and optimization of new remote sensing technologies, evaluation of the accuracy and representativeness of rapid vegetation survey methods, refinement of analytical methods, and consideration of legacy land use impacts and hydrologic system evolution in rPHA results interpretation.
This research was partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Award Number OIA-1458952, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and West Virginia University.

Motley Crue Ate A Hooker And Other False Stories (30 Days of Stuff)
Rock and Roll is the most awesome out of all types of music. Not just because it rocks, but because the stories that come out of this genre are all ridiculously amazing! From Ozzy snorting a line of ants to Vince Neil actually dying in a dumpster, Rock will always be where the wild men are at. How about the stories you've not heard though? The stories that will really make your hair stand on end. Stories that are so unbelievable... because I have literally made them up! Stand by for some of the most pant shittingly awesome rock legends you will ever (never) hear.
1. Motley Crue Ate A Hooker
Tommy Lee is a crazy mother fucker. This is a guy who was on a boat with Pamela Anderson, and instead of spending all of his time inside her, he spent some of his time filming himself hitting the boat with his dick! That's not what I'm going to talk about here though. Back in 1989 "The Croo" had just got sober and released their most successful album to date, Dr. Feelgood. What is not so well known about this story is who Dr.Feelgood was.
Dr. Feelgood was the man the band went to when they had got too crazy with the prostitutes they enjoyed the company of. He fixed them up and made sure none of their antics hit the news. Unfortunately one time he couldn't help her; One prozzie died from internal injuries which were suspiciously Tommy Lee's cock shaped. So the good doctor, to keep the lads safe from any trouble, cooked and served the hooker in a curry.
In tribute to their reputation saving doctor they named their next album after him and the rest is history.
2. Alice Cooper Danced With Princess Diana in 1984
Alice Cooper has done some crazy things in his time, like thinking he could act and appearing in Wayne's World. The craziest thing he has ever done though? Almost causing an international incident when he had himself a really good grab of her arse during a dance at the palace. Fortunately Prince Charles didn't see it because he was too busy being Camilla's tampon in one of the 369 bathrooms Buckingham Palace has.

3. The Eagles Murdered All Of Their Fans In A Satanic Ritual
Have you ever noticed how The Eagles are a pretty huge band, but you never meet any fans of theirs? That's because in 1979 after a free show they hosted, they murdered all of their fans as a blood sacrifice to their dark overlord. This may seem as ridiculous as Judas Priest trying to convince their fans to commit suicide but they knew exactly what they were doing.
Since that moment when every single one of their fans was murdered The Eagles have sold 31 million copies of their Hotel California album a year, even though they literally have no fans left. It's the most heart warming success story of a band ever, 19 men and 3 women all totally dedicated to being the biggest band on the planet, so much so that they were willing to give up their very souls to achieve that goal. It brings a tear to the eye.
So there you have it, three of the most outrageous Rock and Roll stories of all time. And remember lawyers, they're all made up!

Ireland are following in Iceland's footsteps by jailing its top bankers responsible for the 2008 financial crash.
Following from last year's mass incarceration of 26 bankers in Iceland, Ireland is going to prosecute the 2005-2008 CEO of Anglo Irish Bank, David Drumm, on 33 criminal charges.
These include two charges of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting relating to €7.2 billion in deposits placed in Anglo Irish Bank accounts by the then Irish Life and Permanent, between March and September 2008.
16 of the 33 charges relate to unlawfully authorizing billions in loans (to be invested back into Anglo Irish Bank) to 16 wealthy investors, in a bid to artificially prop up Anglo Irish Bank's share price before its December 2008 collapse. Each of the 33 offenses carries a 5 or 10 year jail term, except for a single count of conspiracy to defraud, which has a maximum penalty of an "unlimited term of imprisonment" under Irish law.
According to Cape Cod Times, Anglo Irish Bank was nationalized in January 2009, but the financial crisis before and after the nationalization destroyed Ireland's economy, with taxpayers forced to shoulder costs of $32 billion to cover bad debt and repay investors. The collapse of its economy forced Ireland to take EU and IMF bailout packages worth up to £77 billion in November 2010.
Drumm stepped down from Anglo Irish Bank in December 2008, leaving Ireland for Boston in June 2009 after the Bank's collapse. The collapse was said to cost Irish citizens around €30 billion, close to one-fifth of Ireland's annual output. In 2010, he filed for bankruptcy under U.S. law; however, a Boston court dismissed his application in early 2015, saying he had lied and acted in a fraudulent manner in his bid to be declared bankrupt in the United States. Finding Drumm "not remotely credible," the court ruled that he could be held liable for debts of €10.5 million in Ireland.
Subsequently, Ireland sent an extradition file to the U.S. government, outlining charges to be prepared against Drumm on 33 different offenses. Consequently, Drumm was arrested by U.S. Marshals in October 2015, spending much of the next five months in a maximum security prison south of Boston. Though he began a series of court requests to fight extradition and be allowed bail, he changed his mind after two failed attempts to secure bail and came back to Ireland in March 2016 to contest the charges.
A day after his extradition, back to Dublin from the U.S., Drumm walked free from the prison after securing bail in Ireland when his parents-in-law agreed to a €100,000 independent surety from their joint bank account to satisfy the bail conditions. The father of two daughters also provided his own cash surety of €50,000.
Drumm faces two trials: One at Easter, 2017, and the second in January 2018. These will be in relation to the 33 offenses he committed during his time as chief executive of Anglo Irish Bank. The trial will involve 120 witnesses and minutes from up to 15 company meetings. According to the documents filed in the court, there are "millions of documents" and more than 400 hours of phone conversations linked to Anglo's dealings with Irish Life and Permanent.
Despite signing an affidavit which stated, in part, "that probable cause exists to believe that I committed the 33 offenses for which extradition was requested," Drumm — considered a serious flight risk by the prosecution with the "capacity to marshal significant sums of money" despite having €8.5 million of debts — denies any wrongdoing.
ST News: David Drumm lodges High Court action against Anglo's former insurers for refusal to cover the legal costs of his forthcoming cases.

Strana Sascha (, englische Transkription The Land of Sasha) ist ein Jugendfilm von Julia Trofimova, der im Februar 2022 im Rahmen der Filmfestspiele in Berlin seine Premiere feierte. Er basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman von Gala Uzryutova.

Handlung
Es ist 2021, und Sascha lebt zusammen mit seiner Mutter Sonya in Kaliningrad. Der Vater hat sie verlassen, als er drei Jahre alt war. Seine Mutter drängt ihn, sich endlich an der Uni einzuschreiben. Der etwas ältere Max ist Künstler und sprayt Graffiti. Regelmäßig hilft Sascha ihm dabei. Von seinem Vater Igor will der Junge nichts wissen.

Eines Tages lernt seine Mutter Max kennen. Sie macht sich zwar Sorgen, weil er deutlich älter als ihr Sohn ist, allerdings hält sie ihn für nicht zu alt, um mit ihm heimlich eine Affäre zu beginnen. Saschas Onkel Roma denkt, er solle zur Armee gehen, wie andere junge Männer, die keine Weicheier sind. Max hingegen, der mit der Kunst sein Geld verdient, bestärkt ihn in seinem kreativen Talent.

Gleich an dem Tag, an dem Sascha seinen Job in einer Psychiatrischen Klinik beginnt, wo er eine Wand im Wartebereich bemalen soll, lernt er ein Mädchen namens Zhenya kennen. Auf Rat ihres Arztes soll sie mit dem ersten Menschen reden, dem sie begegnet, um ihre sozialen Ängste zu überwinden. Sie gehen spazieren, und er bringt sie nach Hause. Die beiden treffen sich nun öfter, weil sie einfach gut miteinander können. Als er Zhenya zuhause besucht, lernt er auch deren Eltern kennen. Beide Teenager sind kreativ und an Musik interessiert. Sascha zeigt ihr seine Skizzen, Zhenya spielt Ukulele, kann toll singen und würde gerne Modedesign studieren.

Schnell kommt es zum ersten Kuss, und als ihre Eltern einmal zwei Tage weg sind, haben sie zum ersten Mal auch Sex.

Anna Agnarsdóttir (born 14 May 1947) is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Iceland.

Early life
Anna was born in Reykjavik. Her parents were Ólöf Bjarnadóttir (1919–1999) and Agnar Kl. Jónsson (1909–1984), ambassador and permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She was raised in London and Paris during the years 1951–1961 and graduated with a matriculation examination from Reykjavik Grammar School in 1967.

Professional career
Anna began working as a part-time lecturer at the University of Iceland shortly after 1980, was appointed associate professor of history in 1990, and in 2004, she became the first woman to be appointed as Professor in that discipline. She has been professor emeritus since 2017.

Anna completed a BA (Hons) degree in history from the University of Sussex in 1970 and a BA in Icelandic History from the University of Iceland in 1972. She defended her PhD thesis in International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1989, titled "Great Britain and Iceland 1800–1820." The thesis dealt with political and economic relations between Iceland and Britain during the early 19th century.

Research
Her primary research interests are European and Icelandic history from 1500 to 1830: in particular relations between Iceland and the wider world, especially Britain, and the history of trade and exploration. The aim of her research has, for example, been to throw light on the fact that though Iceland was in the early modern period geographically isolated from Europe, European trends generally made their way to Iceland and Icelandic history should be viewed as an integral part of European history. Currently, she is researching relations between France and Iceland in the 18th century, after the Seven Years' War. At that time, France showed interest in acquiring Iceland, a dependency of Denmark, in exchange for Louisiana. Iceland would serve as a naval base from which France could attempt the recovery of Canada.

Her most comprehensive work is Sir Joseph Banks, Iceland and the North Atlantic. Journals, Letters and Documents 1772–1820 (Routledge, 2016). She wrote about the period from 1800 to 1830 in Saga Íslands (e. History of Iceland) (volume IX) and is among the authors of the work Líftaug landsins (e. Lifeline of the Country) (2017) which covers the history of Icelandic foreign trade during the period 900–2010. The book was nominated for the Icelandic literary award in the category of academic works. Among recent works is a chapter in the second volume of the Cambridge History of Scandinavia (2016).

Anna has written many articles and book chapters in domestic and foreign academic works. She has written about the Icelandic Revolution of 1809, plans for the annexation of Iceland during the Napoleonic Wars, Sir Joseph Banks's expedition to Iceland in 1772, historical sources and ties between Greenland and Iceland, to name but a few topics. She has held many lectures both in Iceland and abroad, for example, a few times by invitation of the Royal Society, London.

Various tasks and projects
Anna has co-edited the journals Saga (e. History), the major historical journal in Iceland and Ný saga (e. New History), and numerous books. Among these can be mentioned Kvennaslóðir, Rit until heiðurs Sigríði Th. Erlendsdóttur sagnfræðingi (e. Festschrift honouring the historian Sigríður Th. Erlendsdóttir), a book comprising articles by all active Icelandic female historians in the year 2000, and Ferðadagbækur Magnúsar Stephensen 1807–1808 (e. Travel Diaries of Magnús Stephensen 1807–1808) with Þórir Stephensen (Reykjavík, 2010).

She has been active in the academic community of Icelandic historians both within and outside the university. She was Head of the Faculty of Philosophy during the years 2002–2004, representative of the academic community in the University Council during 2008–2012, the first woman to be appointed President of the Historical Society 2005–2011, and is currently chair of the Board of the National Archives of Iceland. Furthermore, she serves on the board of the Banks Archive Project and is Iceland's representative in the Hakluyt Society and the Scandinavia-Japan Sasakawa Foundation.

Anna is currently among many editors in the Hakluyt Edition Project which is an international collaboration. This is an academic publication of Richard Hakluyt's The Principal Navigations … of the English Nation (1598), which Oxford University Press will publish in the next few years.

Recognition
Anna is an honorary member of the Icelandic Historical Society and an elected member of Det Kongelige Danske Selskab for Fædrelandets Historie and Societas scientiarum Islandica. In 2017, she was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Icelandic Order of the Falcon for her contribution to historical research.

Personal life
Anna is married to Ragnar Árnason, Professor Emeritus of Economics at The University of Iceland. They have two daughters and Anna has one stepdaughter.

Voice of Jamie the Mailman Eugene Cordero Q&A Summary
April 30, 2016 K-K Bracken
Eugene Cordero, voice of Beach City's resident thespian-slash-mailman Jamie, stopped by the Steven Universe subreddit to answer questions from fans about the show. Besides being a regular on Monday nights at UCB LA as a part of The Smokes, he is in two upcoming movies: Kong: Skull Island and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.
Eugene Cordero on Jamie the Mailman
Rather than auditioning for the role of Jamie, Eugene was asked by Ilana Glazer of Broad City fame if he would record a one-off episode for a former improv team-member of hers. The Jamie character was well-received, and meanwhile Eugene became a fan of the show so when Rebecca Sugar asked him back for more episodes, he was happy to accept. He credits the fans for Jamie's continued presence on Steven Universe.
As he developed the character of Jamie, Eugene drew from the way he thought a dramatic actor was like in high school, very emotional and passionate about the craft. He gets caught up in the "drama zone" when recording for Jamie and he loves it!
"Historical Friction" is Eugene's favorite episode he's been a part of so far. Being a fan of the show helped him nail the Jamie-fied impressions of the Gems. He loves the "Crystal Jamies" fan art! As for favorite lines to record, he loves "every one drama related," and he also liked the "swooning love talk for Garnet" in "Love Letters".
If Steven and Jamie were to fuse, Eugene thinks the Fusion would be "the most excitable person in the world."
As for what he has in common with Jamie, Eugene says they are both easily excited, and he likes bringing his normally more internalized feelings to the surface with the character.
Eugene has been to Kansas and laughs to himself about Jamie's connection to it whenever he is there.
We will be seeing more of Jamie in upcoming episodes!
Eugene Cordero on Steven Universe
Eugene thinks Rebecca Sugar is "creative and genius" as well as "sweet," and that she and the rest of the crew on Steven Universe are "the best." Because they trusted him to make creative decisions in his performance, he really likes the collaborative feeling of the show. If Rebecca Sugar was willing to do a Jamie spinoff he would "sign on in a heartbeat!"
Eugene has been able to work with most of the main cast. He thinks everyone is great and has the most fun when all of them are in the room recording together. He loves Joel Hodgson, voice of Mayor Dewey, but neither of them realized the other was also a voice on the show until they discovered it on a different mutual project, Other Space.
His favorite non-Jamie episode is "Alone Together." Steven is his favorite character on the show because he is "so excited and energetic [and] willing to do anything." Much like his character, Garnet is his favorite Gem, and he is "like in love" with her.
Eugene would be happy to do more voice work, and if he was offered a part on another Rebecca Sugar show, he would take it "SO FAST!" Like his costar Zach Callison, he appreciates the differences in voice work and regular acting and hopes to continue to do both.
Eugene's favorite part of the process for recording Steven Universe is that before each take Rebecca explains what the scene is like alongside the storyboards. Listening to her go through it gets him excited to "jump into the scene."
As a fan, a highlight of the show for Eugene is the animation style. He loves the experience of watching episodes because of what is added after they record. He likes seeing the show come together and the feeling of everything making sense as he learns it.
Despite Garnet's advice, Eugene believes in love at first sight!

+ Family Faith Formation: The entire family learns together by meeting with the Religious Education Coordinator 1x/month. Units correspond with the weekly lessons parents, children and youth are breaking open at home. Alive in Christ from Our Sunday Visitor Press is our curriculum.
+ Preparation for the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation and Marriage by contacting the pastor. The Sacraments — God's invisible love made visible.
+ Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA): Catechists and core team members provide a process for those seeking any of the Sacraments of Initiation, or to become members of the Roman Catholic faith. The team facilitates faith sharing presentations on various topics of faith.
+Gather Our Children: Liturgy of the Word and scheduled homilies for children, aged 2-7. CASE trained volunteers share the readings in "kid friendly language" and offer an activity while parents and older siblings remain in the Nave for the Mass readings and homily.
What's missing? Teens and young adults! Why? Because we have no programs specifically for them? Because they never felt connected to us, The Body of Christ, through lack of activities involving people of all ages? Have we failed to communicate to them that we love them, accept them as they are and miss them when they are not with us? We, those still here, need to take the first step!
The Revised Pastoral Plan – 2018 (2) calls for a committee of the Pastor, the Religious Education Coordinator and members representing all ages from all worship sites to recommend direction and changes for religious instruction and sacramental programs of children, teens, young adults and older adults. Additionally, the committee is to coordinate parish-wide programs, promote Small Christian Communities, and craft and submit an annual budget to the parish Finance Committee and Business Manager.
This committee will also be highly involved in evangelical activities in hopes of answering the "Why" question above. Let's be the caring, sharing Church Christ commissions us to be! Talk to the Religious Education Coordinator to get involved.


This issue I'm short on time and long on news so let's get to it.
We've decided to postpone the log barn restoration project, planned for September, until next year. Both the Regional Historian and the Regional Restoration Carpenter that guided our work last year are running out of time while working on their own local projects . Frankly, with our own planned and unplanned work running up against the end of summer, we could use the delay ourselves. We did have the logs collected from the refuge sawn into dimensional lumber (with the old timey looking circular saw marks) that we'll use for restoring the barn floor. They should be well seasoned by the time we revisit the project next year.
We continue to make progress on the new auto tour. Kelly and Gary have completed several of the gravel parking lots and pull-off areas with help from the fire crew and our colleague Jim Tucker from Kootenai NWR. It sounds like some of the new interpretive signs may go in the ground next week. Hooray!
Our contract for repairing Olson Creek Road went off without a hitch (well, there were a couple but…). Knife River provided the gravel and grader to repair a few miles of the road, changing it from a tooth jarring, water gouged test of endurance to a smooth, well-draining roadway. I love it when a plan comes together!
McDowell Lake and Potter's Pond have been management challenges all summer. Last spring the water control structure (aka the big metal pipe sticking out of the dam) at McDowell Lake, installed in 1972, started leaking. The lake dropped about an inch per day for several weeks until now it's about six feet lower that it should be, seeming to have stabilized at the current level. The permanent fix is to drain the lake, open the dam to access the metal pipe and replace it. Expensive, but we're looking at tackling that next year. In the near future we think we have a short term fix that will be buy us time until we can properly plan the replacement project. One piece of good news is that an underwater survey of the lake failed to find any Eurasia milfoil remaining after our treatment to control that noxious invader. The bad news was the surveyors noticed a suspicious blue-green algae bloom that has since been identified as Microsystis. Why is that important? Micorsystis is species of algae that contains a toxin that's dangerous to mammals when ingested. This algae is native and occurs naturally, rarely causing problems unless conditions encourage its growth. We speculate that a combination of the herbicide treatment we did to control milfoil also killed some native vegetation, providing an upsurge on nutrients for the algae to feed on, coupled with the reduced lake volume due to the control structure failing and warm summer temperatures, created a "Perfect Storm" for Microsystis. We've posted the lake to warn users to not let their pets drink the water, assuming pet owners will get the hint and not drink it themselves! The good news is the cooler temperatures we normally experience after Labor Day will take care of the algae for this year. Repairs to the water control structure and rebounding aquatic plants should discourage this from happening again.
Potter's Pond has presented its own set of challenges this summer. In mid-summer it also started losing water. Its water control structure, similar to the one in McDowell Lake, but installed in 1960, also failed. These things have been in place for 40 and 50 years respectively and they fail the same summer?! It never rains, it pours. Same story as McDowell, expensive to replace, but we've devised a short term fix we hope will buy us time. Unfortunately it required a complete draining of the pond and the loss of the trout it contained. But, we're biologists and need to look at the big picture. The thirty or so fish I saw floating near the shore as the pond drained were gone in two days, eaten by bald eagles, coyotes and whoever else followed their nose. Circle of life, right? We're now refilling the pond, but late summer is not the best time for stream flows, so it will take a while.
P.S. Thanks to the Friends Group for again hosting the staff appreciation cookout. Always a good time and we appreciate it!

Q: Python: Indexing a file that is tab delimited I have a text file that is tab delimited and looks like:

1_0     NP_045689       100.00  279   0       0       18      296     18    296     3e-156   539
1_0     NP_045688       54.83   259   108     6       45      296     17    273    2e-61    224

I need to parse out specific columns such as column 2.
I've tried with the code below:
z = open('output.blast', 'r')
for line in z.readlines():
    for col in line:
        print col[1]
z.close()

But i get a index out of range error.

A: z = open('output.blast', 'r')
for line in z.readlines():
    cols = line.split('\t'):
        print cols[1]
z.close()

You need to split() the line on tab characters first.
Alternatively, you could use Python's csv module in tab-delimiters mode.

A: Check out the csv module. That should help you a lot if you plan on doing more stuff with your tab-delimited files, too. One nice thing is that you can assign names to the various columns.

A: import csv,StringIO
text="""1_0 NP_045689   100.00  279 0   0   18  296 18  296 3e-156  539
1_0 NP_045688   54.83   259 108 6   45  296 17  273 2e-61   224"""

f = csv.reader(StringIO.StringIO(text), delimiter='\t')
for row in f:
    print row[1]

two things of note:
the delimiter argument to the reader method tells the csv module how to split the text line. Check the other arguments to the reader function to extend functionality (ie: quotechar)
I use StringIO to wrap the text example as a file object, you dont need that if you are using a file reference.
ex:
f=csv.reader(open('./test.csv'),delimiter='\t')

A: This has already been answered, but I thought I'd share the use of namedtuples for this sort of situation, as it allows pleasant object.attribute type attribute access.
from collections import namedtuple
import csv
rec = namedtuple('rec', 'col1, col2, col3, col4, col5')
for r in map(rec._make, csv.reader(open("myfile.tab", "rb"), delimiter='\t')):
    print r.col2, r.col5

See the Python collections documentation for more details.

A: This is why your code is going wrong:
for col in line:

will iterate over every CHARACTER in the line.
    print col[1]

A character is a string of length 1, so col[1] is always going to give an index out of range error.
As others have said, you either need to split the line on the TAB character '\t', or use the csv module, which will correctly handle quoted fields that may contain tabs or newlines.
I also recommend avoiding using readlines - it will read the entire file into memory, which may cause problems if it is very large.  You can iterate over the open file a line at a time instead:
z = open('output.blast', 'r')
for line in z:
    ...

Hard to imagine, time flying by so quickly, but Steve's show comes down Sunday. Here's your chance to meet him and ask all those questions you've been just dying to: Do you model for your own paintings? Does your talent come naturally? Can I have your autograph?
Steve's a great guy and his art hits a note that's hard to miss, especially if you remember the America he paints. Yes, that was once me, and more of us than I care to say. So earnest, so striving, so AMERICAN. It took a whole lot of 1960s to get from there to here. Plus 70's, 80's, 90's and more.
Open tonight 4-7, Thurs Sept. 10 from 4-7, with Jim-Gerale, Sangria, tapas snacks and guacamole.
