Q: Kubernetes HTTP to HTTPS Redirect on AWS with ELB terminating SSL I'm trying to set up a simple HTTP to HTTPS redirect for traffic going to a Kubernetes cluster. The SSL termination is happening on the ELB. When I try to use  the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect = true it results in an infinite redirect which led me to setting up a config map to handle this (nginx-ingress: Too many redirects when force-ssl is enabled).
Now there seems to be no redirection happening at all.

A: The issue was the target port I was using on the load balancer not matching the port the redirection server was listening on:
ports:
  - name: http
    port: 80

This was just sending everything to port 80. It should have been this:
ports:
  - name: http
    port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8080

That way it matches up with the ConfigMap's:

      listen 8080 proxy_protocol;
      server_tokens off;

Per usual, average sales prices on co-ops were lower than condos, the report says.
Downtown took the highest portion of condo sales in Manhattan, with 42 percent market share and $429 million in sales.
The 30-day price per square foot average dropped in all neighborhoods except for SoHo and West Village, where 8.5 percent and 4.5 percent increases occurred, respectively.
The highest average price per square foot in Manhattan was in Downtown, again, where apartments cost $2,172 per square foot in January.
CityRealty released its Monthly Market Report earlier this week, indicating New York City apartment prices dropped slightly in early 2016 while number of sales increased. Both condo and co-op sales in Manhattan reached $2.1 million, a slight dip from $2.2 million in December. However, the number of sales grew from 862 in December to 1,020 in January.

Trump attacks Pakistan; says country houses enemies
The United States of America wants a good relationship with Pakistan, but it's easier said than done as the country "houses enemies," president Donald Trump said.
"We want to have a great relationship with Pakistan, but they house the enemy. They take care of the enemy. We just can't do that," Trump said while speaking to his Cabinet colleagues, reported Press Trust of India.
America's relationship with Islamabad has been strained ever since it stopped $1.3 billion in military aid to the country.
However, Trump said he was looking forward to working with the new leadership in Pakistan under prime minister Imran Khan.
"So, I look forward to meeting with the new leadership in Pakistan. We will be doing that in the not too distant future. But I ended USD 1.3 billion that we paid. I think it was water, we were just paying to Pakistan. So, I ended that," he said.
Trump had earlier defended his administration's decision to stop funding to Pakistan, saying the country has done nothing for the US. Trump also accused Pakistan of providing a safe haven to Al-Qaeda terrorists.
"We give Pakistan USD 1.3 billion a year… (Laden] lived in Pakistan, we're supporting Pakistan, we're giving them USD 1.3 billion a year – which we don't give them any more, by the way, I ended it because they don't do anything for us, they don't do a damn thing for us," he had said.
"They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!" Trump added.
Responding to the accusation, Pakistan prime minister Khan took to Twitter to point out that his country had suffered 75,000 casualties and lost $123bn in the US War On Terror.
"Trump's false assertions add insult to the injury Pak has suffered in US WoT [War on Terror] in terms of lives lost & destabilised & economic costs," Khan wrote.
"He needs to be informed abt historical facts. Pakistan has suffered enough fighting US's war. Now we will do what is best for our people & our interests."

The Interactions of Electrical Conductivity, Sodium Absorption Ratio, Water Volume and Rhizobial Strain on Phaseolus Vulgaris L.
A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine the interactive effects of water salinity, volume of water applied at each irrigation, sodium adsorption ratio and rhizobial strain upon 15 plant growth parameters of Phaseolus vulgaris L. Four levels of water salinity (ECW 0.4, 3.0, 6.0, or 9.0 mmho/cm), three levels of water volume (200, 400, or 800 ml per pot), three levels of SAR (4, 16, or 64) and three strains of Rhizobium phaseoli (K-17, K-47, or K-52) were used. The treatments were replicated with all possible combinations. Data were subjected to analysis of variance, multiple comparisons, and path coefficient analysis.

Zayn's 'Ghostbusters' Song Is Cheesy as Hell
The ex-1D member gives us the sappy treatment as usual, but this time it's totally out of context.
Getty Images/Kevin Winter
Ethan Jacobs
It's only been about four months since One Direction defector Zayn Malik released his debut album as a solo artist, and already he's back with new music. On Mind of Mine, Malik made sure we knew he is a sexually active dude, referencing his tempestuous love life on a healthy portion of the album's 18 slow burning, R&B-leaning tracks. Even with all the commotion surrounding Malik's official debut in March, his pop star appeal promptly fizzled out due to a lackluster album. Today Malik asks "Hey, remember me?" with two new singles.
One of the new tracks, "Cruel," is a collaboration with British electronic duo Snakehips that finds Malik playing up his assets as he croons about a girl whose beauty is enough to distract him from the cruelty of the world. Snakehips, known for their gentler and groovy production, take a more bombastic approach on "Cruel," opting for louder and energizing techniques that match Malik's impassioned vocals.
Malik should have stopped there, but he went ahead and recorded a song for the new Ghostbusters movie called "wHo." You'll notice that Malik was allowed to keep the random capitalization shtick, which created a strange distraction from the music on his debut album. I can just see it now — "Yeah, I'll make a sappy love song for this movie but only do it if I can keep the capital 'H' and the lowercase 'w' and 'o'." Whatever you need, Zayn. Whatever you need.
"wHo" is actually a pretty good song — it's immediately catchy and highlights Malik's powerful voice and appetite for heartbreaking ethos. It could have easily replaced one of the many songs that didn't need to be on his debut album, but in the context of Ghostbusters, it's undeniably lame. The song's repetition of "Who you gonna call?" is perhaps romantic until you make the connection to the jovial Ghostbusters theme song and realize the spirit of "wHo" could not be more estranged from ghost hunting. Although I haven't seen the movie yet, it's difficult to imagine at what point in the movie this song fits. Are people falling in love in the new Ghostbusters movie? Malik seems to think so.

Invitation to the trial party at the regional court Aachen (5/29)
By hambacherforst 05/26/2019 07/03/2019 Dates, Mobilization, Trials
The trial because of the tripod, which was suddenly on the Hambachbahn during the G20 summit in Hamburg, goes into the second round. After the district court Jülich has sentenced the two defendants in the first instance to a fine of 90 or 100 daily sentences, the appeal is now being held before the district court of Aachen. So to make you know what you are getting into, first a few quotes from the official protocol of the first instance:
"The following court order is then issued: It is forbidden to disturb the course of the meeting by calling or throwing objects from the spectator area…"
"It is ordered, when leaving and entering the hall, to close the door quietly. In case of violations of the court order the corresponding listener will be expelled from the court room."
"The audience is shouting loudly, «We will not go, but rather schunkel (sway) together.» Then 4 people in the back row link arms with each others and sway. The officers again order the audience to leave the room. This is ignored by further singing and swaying by the audience."
"The testimony of the witness was disturbed by two spectators with loud interjections «lying witnesses»."
"The session order is lost due to the loud protest and boos."
"The auditorium is vacated except for the representatives of the press, because otherwise the meeting rules can no longer be maintained. The court order is enforced by the police officers present, some (sic!) spectators were carried out."
"The request for interruption is rejected because, in the judgment of the Court of First Instance, the 10-minute period was sufficient to formulate and then offer such requests, in particular as a detailed reasoning of the request in principle should not be necessary. (…) The application must be rejected because it is unfounded."
From a testimony: "No, I did remark any aggressive behavior. (…) Once they lit and smoked a joint in my presence. "
From a testimony: "No, after the blockade we could not go on because at 12:45 there was a parallel «log on» (sic!)."
From a testimony: "I do not know if I asked them to come down. But I rather do not think so, because it was obvious to me (…) Although, yes I talked to them. I said to the persons: «Could you not wait next time for the shift change, since we are standing here from the night shift."
"Furthermore, it can be assumed to be true that the carbon dioxide emissions from lignite mining lead to climate change, which probably will lead to global environmental problems (sic!) in the form described above."
<!– "Die Angeklagten enthalten das letzte Wort (…) Die Angeklagte (…) erklärt: "(…) Ich werde mir nicht anhören was das Gericht noch zu sagen hat und werde jetzt den Saal verlassen, wer mich begleiten möchte, kann dies gerne machen." Die Angeklagte (…), der Angeklagte (…) sowie einige Zuschauer verlassen daraufhin um 12.06 den Sitzungssaal. Der Verteidiger wird gefragt, ob er der Verhandlung weiter folgen oder ebenfalls den Saal verlassen möchte. (…) Der Verteidiger erklärt: "Ich möchte noch etwas anmerken." Die Richterin weist darauf hin, dass das letzte Wort bereits gesprochen wurde und keine Ausführungen zur Sache mehr gemacht werden sollen. Der Verteidiger erklärt: "Wir haben trotzdem noch gesprochen. Somit fehlt das letzte Wort der Angeklagten (…)" –>
"The defendants get the last word (…) The defendant (…) explains: «(…) I am not going to listen to what the court has yet to say and will now leave the court room, who wants to accompany me, of course can do so.» The defendants (…) and some spectators leave the room at 12:06. The defense attorney is asked if he wants to continue the trial or also leave the room. (…) The defender explains: «I would like to say something else.» The judge points out that the last word has already been spoken and no explanations are to be made on the matter anymore. The defender explains: «Nevertheless we still spoke. Thus, the last word of the accused is missing (…)"
Now, of course, is the claim for the second instance: even more chaos. Because repression wants to break us down, wear us down and make us behave in a compliant manner in the future. We will not let that happen. Instead, we cause chaos and have fun during the trials, we have not lost as long as we have more fun than they have. And until the day when the courts and prisons of this world are burned down and playgrounds have been built on their foundations, we turn the courts into our playgrounds!

Swanwick railway station is a railway station in Fareham, Hampshire, England. Despite the name, it is actually in Park Gate not Swanwick, which is one mile north of the station.
The station opened on 2 September 1889,[1] and was specially built for the local strawberry industry. For a short time each year, it was one of the busiest stations in the country.[2] The station is near a small industrial estate between the residential areas of Locks Heath and Whiteley.
The railway line between Netley and Fareham was built by the London and South Western Railway; it was authorised on 20 August 1883, construction began in April 1886, and the line was opened on 2 September 1889. Swanwick was one of two intermediate stations originally provided, but unlike its neighbour Bursledon, it was provided with a crossing loop so that two trains could pass each other on the single-track route.[3] The local area's strawberry industry provided up to 7,000 tons each year in the late 1800s. During the harvest, Swanwick Station became one of the busiest in the country with "Strawberry Specials" heading to Covent Garden and across the country. Long platforms were constructed to accommodate the trains.[4]
After the Second World War, the station was mainly used for passenger services.
Services[edit]
The station is served by three services per hour each way Monday to Saturday and two per hour each way on Sunday.[5]
Monday to Saturday services
Southampton Central to Portsmouth & Southsea service operated by South Western Railway calling at all stations on the route (usually operated by Class 450 Desiro units)
Southampton Central to Brighton service operated by Southern (operated by Class 377 units)
Southampton Central to London Victoria service operated by Southern via Gatwick Airport (operated by Class 377 units)
Southampton Central to Portsmouth & Southsea service operated by South Western Railway (calls all stations on the route)

The station is by far the busiest between Fareham and Southampton and enjoys more facilities than most on the line. The ticket office is open between 5.45am and 7pm weekdays (shorter hours at the weekend).[6] Toilet facilities and a waiting room are within the ticket office area (not available when the ticket office is closed).
The station is fully covered by CCTV, as is the large cycle shed and car park adjacent the station. There are customer help points and covered areas on both platforms. Disabled customers cannot gain access to the Fareham-bound platform.
Outside the station in the forecourt there is a taxi rank and a refreshment caravan providing food and drink throughout the day. The Park Gate Tandoori restaurant is located in the former station master's house which forms part of the station building.

The Host is without a doubt expertly directed, and the star of the film is probably the most interesting creature creation since Stan Winston's Kothoga (from The Relic), but it never really impressed as much as the films it's being compared to. These being such iconic fare as Jaws and The Thing. Maybe the hype machine had too much influence, but I think because it is in essence more a drama than a creature-feature, means that it doesn't quite reach such similar or stellar company. It is it's own victim in that sense, because while it is a good film, it holds little to offer on repeat viewings like those films do. It won't let you settle into a specific mood for example. Describing the film is an issue in itself. Director Bong Joon-Ho probably summed it up best himself when he said that it is less a monster movie and more a film about a kidnapping, where the kidnapper just happens to be a mutant amphibian.
Stripped to it's core, The Host is about the importance of family bond and how that bond can shine through during crisis. An already struggling unit, our family - the Parks - must deal with the unthinkable: The youngest and brightest spark in their clan has been taken, presumed dead, not by a man, but by something that just shouldn't exist. Joon-Ho sets up this idea nicely by having the creature born from nature - and of human interference no less, as opposed to something supernatural or otherworldly. The grounding of the movie in a recognisable family reality is probably it's greatest strength. Like the Park family, you just accept what happens and deal, and in the end, it's not that much of a stretch.
Various arguments surrounding the reveal of the monster I've always found slightly tenuous because for all it's refreshing glee, the scene in the park - indeed, the monster itself - is merely the catalyst for the main idea. Besides, when your creature design is this cool, why not show it off more? I actually praise Joon-Hu for being so un-subtle and almost blasé in his approach with this jaw dropping moment. It was superbly satisfying that not 20 minutes into The Host, we see a full shot of the creature diving into the river while curious gawkers scratch their heads, leading into a fantastically directed sequence where our slippery beastie asserts his need for breakfast. Yes, the best bit with the monster (but certainly not the last) is done less than half an hour into the film, but like I said, this isn't Jaws or The Thing, so being patient is rewarding in different ways here.
To it's credit, The Host still belongs in the same category as the above mentioned films because like them, it's strengths lie in it's ability to create a human situation around the monster that's both compelling and interesting. It just doesn't do it as well as Spielberg or Carpenter's respective masterpieces. Unfortunately, it also suffers slightly from the same old genre clichés as well as being a tad too long despite an action packed finale. It remains a 'must see' for it's striking cinematography however, interesting performances which include some great borderline slapstick comedy, a not so flattering portrayal of the US government and of course, the creature itself is worth the price of admission alone..
The identity crisis suffering screenplay does lead you astray at times, but it's definitely above your average Hollywood blockbuster, and even though being Korean might make it cooler; it doesn't necessarily make it that much different. But then again, Cloverfield proved that being unique in the monster game, doesn't always save you from disappointing cliché either. The Host is better than that film, and an overall recommended achievement.

Hi guys, Chris Corry here. I'm the executive producer on Red Alert 3 and it is my pleasure to walk you through the first demo of live Red Alert 3 software with many of its graphical flourishes turned on and with unit gameplay approaching what you'll see in the final game.
So here we are in virgin, unexplored territory. There are reports of Allied activity in the region. Of course, we are the Soviets and our mission is to deploy an expeditionary force, establish a beach head, and probe the enemy. So, like any other C&C game, we start with our mobile construction vehicle, the heart of any base. And we're going to deploy that into a con yard. Every base needs power, so the next thing we'll build is a power plant. I want to note that build times have been sped up for the purposes of this demo. Of course, in the final game buildings will not build nearly as fast. And I want to call your attention to the scaffolding that you see as we build this refinery. In Red Alert 3, the Soviet faction builds up on the map and while the scaffolding is up the building is under construction and vulnerable to attack. So we build our refinery next to one of these new, ore nodes. In Red Alert 3, players mine resources from harvestable ore nodes that are invincible and can be used by any faction at any time. The resource mechanic is very simple: build one refinery, get one harvester and that harvester can farm one ore node. It's nice and simple.
So as we pan over here to the south west, we find this little island with an observation tower on it. If we can capture that observation tower, it might provide us some valuable intel. So we're going to build a barracks and out of that barracks we're going to build an engineer. The engineer, of course, is a classic C&C unit that we use to capture enemy and neutral structures. We're going to run our engineer down to the beach and with a simple contextual move command, he's going to transform into his naval equivalent. Now, in Red Alert 3, not all units are amphibious, but obviously the engineer is. His amphibious form has him in a little zodiac motor boat. We're going to run him over to that observation tower and capture it. That reveals shroud, our radar comes online, and yikes, look at all that blue. This map is crawling with Allied forces.
So, the good news is we know where the Allies are. The bad news, well, I bet they know where we are too. So we need to get busy building up a force to assault that Allied base and that starts with some additional power. We?ll need a war factory. So those Allied sentry bombers appear to be taking our presence here a little personally. It definitely looks like our cover's blown. We have to get our power plants back online, but those bombers will be back if they see that we're rebuilding. We need to protect these new power plants. We're going to build a few bull frogs. The bull frog is the Soviet's primary troop transport. But, fortunately for us, it's also armed with a powerful anti-aircraft flak cannon. This time we're ready for those sentry bombers. They won't be bothering us any more.
Ok, we need to take a look at what we're up against. We're going to create a patrol of sickles and investigate that Allied base. The Sickle is this imposing, spider walker that has three machine guns. It's a powerful anti-infantry unit. We're going to run it up through the city center here. Here's a whimsical Red Alert structure - the brewery. Look at that bench toppling technology - best in RTS. Uh oh, looks like we have some Allied tanks on patrol here. We need to get out of sight, fast! We're going to use the Sickles? secondary ability to leap up on to this bluff. In Red Alert 3, units at higher levels of elevation are invisible to the units below them. So we should be safe up here. It's a good thing too, those Allied guardian tanks strike a flexible balance between speed, armor, and offensive punch. They would've made short work of us.
So, now we have a new patrol coming into range, but this time it's an infantry patrol and remember that the Sickle is an anti-infantry vehicle. Ouch, that's going to leave a mark. They make short work of that patrol. The city is crawling with Allies, so I think we're going to try a different approach. Let's make a break for the coast. Hopefully we can sneak into that Allied base without encountering more enemy resistance.
Uh oh, those are assault destroyers. They're lethal to our Sickles. So we need to skirt around the edge, stay out of range, and hope that they don't see us. Oh, and they have seen us. And, unfortunately, they are amphibious units too. With those guardian tanks there, we are caught between a rock and a hard place. We're screwed.
And now our base is under attack! We've been so busy that we haven?t done a very good job of preparing our base defenses. Those guardian tanks are shredding those power plants and it's not going to take long for them to finish off the base. Looks like we have to make a run for it. We've packed up our MCV and we're making a dash towards the ocean. As you can see, the MCV is another one of our amphibious units.
This is probably a good time to talk about how Red Alert supports naval gameplay like you've never seen before. This time we're bringing navy right into the center for our game design. Previous Red Alert games have certainly featured naval gameplay, but not as predominantly as we do in Red Alert 3. And this is manifest in several ways. We've already shown you some of our amphibious units. Again, not all units in Red Alert 3 are amphibious, but many are. Amphibious units take on different capabilities or have different statistics depending on whether they are fighting on land or in the ocean. But base building on water is the most dramatic indication that Red Alert 3 takes navy very seriously. And it really adds a whole new dimension to the gameplay. Now, you need to ask yourself, where is my opponent's base? Should I pursue a heavy armor strategy, a more typical RTS, land-based attacked? Or do I need to get out into the oceans as quickly as possible? There will also be ore nodes in the ocean. Ignoring the seas will give your opponent a significant economic and strategic advantage. Most other RTS designers have a tendency to keep navy at arm's length, or to ignore it all together, but not us. In Red Alert 3, rule the oceans and you'll rule the world.
So we've built up a pretty nice base here - lots of power, a naval yard. Now, we're going to build a structure that we haven't seen yet, the airfield. Let's take the initiative and go on the offensive. We're going to build a small squadron of Twinblade gunships and hunt down those assault destroyers who killed our Sickles. Time to exact some revenge. And those assault destroyers are looking for some more trouble. Fortunately for us, assault destroyers have no anti-aircraft capabilities. So our Twinblade gunships, along with those Tesla base defenses, make short work of them. Let's keep on pushing north, hopefully we?ll find some more destroyers to mince up. Uh oh, those are Allied hydrofoils and these guys are all about the anti-air. They shredded our Twinblades.
We're going to move in some Stingray attack boats. These are a fast attack craft equipped with Tesla technology. The hydrofoils are great anti-air units but they can't defend themselves from a naval or land based attack. Luckily, there are no assault destroyers in the vicinity to protect them and our Stingrays are having a field day.
Damn, those Allies are persistent. It looks like our new base is under attack now. Those are attack drones. That can mean only one thing -- aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers are the jewels of the Allied navy. They are heavily armored with a large contingent of drone fighters. We need to counter this quickly or we're done for. To do that, we're going to build dreadnaughts, the most powerful ships in the Soviet navy. They're equipped with a devastating artillery barrage. So this is going to be a close one: the pride of the Soviet navy up against those aircraft carriers. Those attack drones extend the range of the aircraft carrier significantly and can do real damage. But the coordinated fire from those dreadnaughts is extraordinarily effective.
Okay, it's time to end this once and for all. We're going to prepare a two prong assault force to take against that Allied base to the north. On the naval side we've got those dreadnaughts. On land, we're going to bring up those bull frogs and fill them with an elite squad of Tesla troopers. Tesla troopers are a classic Red Alert unit, mechanized infantry that walk around in these cool power suits equipped with Tesla technology. We're going to take them up the coastal road shadowed by our battleships. And there is a tantalizing target, an undefended naval yard. Once again the dreadnaught proves its abilities against naval units and structures.
But the dreadnaughts are an extremely effective weapons platform for offshore bombardment too. So we'll move them up and stage them to take against that Allied base. At the same time we're going to move up these bull frogs. The only way to get infantry out of the bull frog is through its man cannon. We're going to literally fire those Tesla troopers into the heart of this base. Those troopers are vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire as they float to earth, but once inside that base, watch out!
The Allied commander is putting up a spirited resistance, but that's a lot of Tesla troopers. And there's the con yard. A coordinated attack from our dreadnaughts and those Tesla troopers should make short work of it. Looks like we've taught those capitalist pigs a thing or two about the might and metal of the Russian people. Now, it's just a mopping up operation.
Woah! What's this? So this is a surprise attack from the Empire of the Rising Sun! Those King Oni mechs are fearsome killing machines and of course they don?t care whether they are wiping out Allies or Soviets. We have one last trick up our sleeve - the vacuum bomb. Let's hope it's not too late. Victory for the Motherland!
That concludes this first look at Red Alert 3's live gameplay. Red Alert 3 ships this fall on PC and Xbox 360 with a great custom-crafted, cooperative campaign, naval gameplay unlike anything you've seen before, and more than sixty minutes of star studded live action cinematics. Thanks for your time and I hope to see you soon at redalert3.com.

Q: Output corresponding elements of two different arrays in PHP I have two different arrays. First contains the name of people and second some information about them. I want to sort the first one on the basis of name and then output the the names. At the same time, I also want to output the description of corresponding name from other array.
I would have used associative arrays but two people can have same names.
Could anyone please explain, how can I get the element from second array at corresponding location as output?
asort($names);
$n_index = 0;
foreach($names as $name) {
    echo $name.' '.$descrption[$n_index].'\n';
    $n_index++;
}

I can't use array_search because the keys or names are not unique. :)
Here is some sample data:
$names = ['Andy', 'Mandy', 'Andy', 'Alex', 'Megan', 'Mandy', 'Megan'];
$description = ['Tall', 'Short', 'Slim', 'Short', 'Tall', 'Fat', 'Tall'];

Output:
Alex Short
Andy Tall
Andy Slim
Mandy Short
Mandy Fat
Megan Tall

Any help would be appreciated.

A: Make a sensible data structure that keeps both kinds of information together, sort that, and output it:
$people = array_map(null, $names, $description);
// $people = [['Andy', 'Tall'], ['Mandy', 'Short'], ...]
usort($people, function ($a, $b) { return strcmp($a[0], $b[0]); });

foreach ($people as $person) {
    echo $person[0], ' ', $person[1], PHP_EOL;
}

Q: parsing html using DOM I want to parse the HTML data from a particular url provided. But i am not able to parse data as i am getting few errors.
This is my code :-
    $html = new DOMDocument();
    $html->loadHTML($url);  //$url is where the site url is defined
    $value = array();
    foreach($html->find($identifier) as $element) //$identifier is where div, a etc is stored
    {
        $value[] = $element->src."
";
    }
    print_r($value);

I am getting the following error
Call to undefined method DOMDocument::find()

Can anyone help me out with this .I am using cake-php 2.0

A: As the error indicates, DOMDocument has no find method.  However, it does have a lot of very nice DOM parsing methods: http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domdocument.php
If $identifier is an element name, it would make sense to use
foreach ($html->getElementsByTagName($identifier) as $element) {
    $value[] = $element->nodeValue + "
";
}

A: This will not work:
$html->loadHTML($url);

LoadHTML loads a string, this will work for example:
$html->loadHTML("Test
");

Try using loadHTMLfile:
$html->loadHTMLFile("filename.html");

See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.loadhtmlfile.php

A: How about reading the documentation on the class you're using? DOMDocument is well documented on the php.net site and has no mention of a find method, why would you presume it does?
DOMDocument has a lot of methods that are familiar to any JavaScript developer, such as getElementsByTagName and getElementById which should be what you're looking for.
Also, if you're loading the HTML from a URL, the DOMDocument::loadHTML method won't work, as it expects a string containing valid HTML, not a URI.
DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile might work with a URL parameter (can't be sure, don't have PHP installed on this computer to check), but if it doesn't you can combine DOMDocument::loadHTML and file_get_contents to get it to work.

A: As far as I can see the cake php documentation ... there is no find() function for domDocument Class.
How about using toArray() method of Xml class documented here

Graduate Certificates in Veterinary Studies
Career summary: Veterinary Technologists and Technicians
National Average, Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics
30% job growth by 2022, which is much faster than average
Earn a degree in veterinary studies from an accredited college
One of the best ways to prepare for a career in veterinary studies is through a college education. A Graduate Certificate will help you develop entry level skills, general veterinary studies know how and the basic veterinary studies experience you need to start your career off right. You may also consider a Master's in Veterinary Studies to help you take your education and career to the next level. Please select veterinary studies school below.
Why would I want a veterinary studies degree?
A degree in veterinary studies (veterinary/animal health technology/technician and veterinary assistant) will provide you with the skills to become a veterinary technician or a veterinary technologist, which is a field in which there will be more new jobs than there will be graduates to fill them. If you have a love for animals and an interest in helping them stay healthy, then this is a degree that you should strongly consider.
What do people with veterinary studies degrees do?
People who have a degree in veterinary studies usually become veterinary technicians or veterinary technologists. Although the education requirements for the two are different, the duties they perform in a veterinarian office are almost identical. They assist veterinarians by conducting clinical and laboratory procedures in private clinics and animal hospitals. Some of these duties may include performing laboratory tests such as urinalysis and blood counts; assisting with dental care; preparing tissue samples; taking blood samples; assisting veterinarians in a variety of other diagnostic tests; recording patients' case histories; exposing and developing x rays and radiographs; providing specialized nursing care; administering medications; preparing samples for laboratory examinations; recording information on an animal's genealogy, diet, weight, medications, food intake; recording clinical signs of pain and distress; sterilizing laboratory and surgical equipment; assisting veterinarians in surgery; and providing routine postoperative care.
There are various types of specialties in the veterinarian field. The most common specialties include small animals, large animals, mixed animals, and equine (horses). The majority of vet offices specialize in small animals, which include dogs, cats, mice, rats, sheep, pigs, cattle, monkeys, birds, fish, frogs, etc.
Aside from working in veterinarian offices, technologists also have the opportunity to work in more advanced research-related jobs. Some technicians also might have similar opportunities; although, usually research jobs are reserved for technologists since they have more formal training.
The most common places of employment for veterinary technicians and technologists are:
Private Veterinary Offices
How much do veterinary technicians and technologists make?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for veterinary technicians and technologists in 2008 was $28,900. The middle 50 percent earned between $23,580 and $34,960. The bottom 10 percent earned less than $19,770, and the top 10 percent earned more than $41,490. They are usually paid by the hour, and the median hourly wage for technicians and technologists in 2009 was $14.08.
How popular are veterinary technician and technologist jobs?
Veterinary technician and technologist jobs are quite popular, and they will continue to be popular into the foreseeable future. Jobs in this field are expected to grow by 36% through 2018, which is much faster than the average growth rate among all jobs. In fact, it is expected that there will not be enough qualified personnel to satisfy the expected job demand.
The factors spurring the strong job growth are a growing population; growing affluence in the general population, which leads to the ability to afford pets and their care; and limited output of qualified technicians and technologists.
How do I become a veterinary technician or technologist?
In order to become a veterinary technician, you must obtain an associate's degree in veterinary studies (veterinary/animal health technology/technician and veterinary assistant). In order to become a veterinary technologist, you must obtain a bachelor's degree in the same area of study.
In most states you must also pass a credentialing exam following your coursework. To find out more information about certification, talk to the veterinary studies school of your choice.

Why we love Maisie Williams
If you're to describe Maisie Williams, what would your description of her be? Calm, calculated, clever, full of strength, and sometimes emotional. This description undoubtedly describes her, but it somewhat draws from her role as the youngest of the Stark daughters in the HBO series Game of Thrones. Maisie began acting professionally at the age of 12 after being convinced by her mother to ditch a school trip and audition for the Game of Thrones film. That motherly advice and encouragement have paid off as she has become a global face because of the worldwide audience that Game of Thrones has.
As her popularity grew, so did the name Arya as parents were naming their baby girls Arya or Aria, a variation of the former. Life wasn't easy for Arya, but her mother gave up her course administration job at a university to support her daughter. At one point in time, she was homeschooling Maisie and taking her to the Bath Dance College, where Maisie studied Performing Arts. At the age of 15, Maisie became the youngest recipient of the portal Award for Best Supporting Actress and Best Young Actor. She also bagged other awards, including the Teen Award for Best British Actor from BBC Radio 1, amongst others.
While she's known for starring in Game of Thrones, she has featured in other titles, including The Falling, Mary Shelley, Then Came You, Early Man, The New Mutants, The Owners, and a feature stage play I and You. Let's also not forget to mention her role in Two Weeks to Live, Cyberbully, Gen: Lock, and in the science fiction series Doctor Who. She won several awards for her role in The Falling. Aside from acting, Massie has spread her tentacles into different industries, the latest being her investment into the Germany-based e-bike subscription company Dance.
In 2016, she launched Daisy Chain Productions, focused on creating UK-original short films. In the same vein, she founded Pin-Sized Pictures to help develop female talent in her country. She co-developed the app Daisie in 2018 to allow different content creators to showcase their works and network with other users. The app is mainly popular in the UK because of its marketing arrangements in the country. Aside from her foray into internet entrepreneurship, she's highly interested in fashion, often partnering with Selby, a fashion designer and former member of her app's communication team. Regarding advocacy, she's vocal about the environment, anti-bullying, animal rights, and political matters.

Disabilities Not a Barrier for Fahmi
From under the tent beside the podium, Muhammad Fahmi Husaen was enjoying the attractions being performed by student units of Universitas Gadjah Mada during the new students induction event in the square of Grha Sabha Pramana. Fahmi has just been accepted as new student of Computer and Information System at UGM Vocational School.
Since his junior high years, Fahmi had to sit on the wheelchair during his daily activities. He suffered from muscular distrophy since his childhood that disallowed him to walk. Finally, he had to use the wheelchair.
But this has not stopped him from doing various activities like his peers, particularly in pursuing education. His determination to have good education had driven him to take part in the written entrance test to UGM.
"In Jogja the best university is UGM, that's why I wanted to study here," said Fahmi on Monday (8/1) in Grha Sabha Pramana.
Learning computer science has always been his passion. He grew interested in studying the computer, especially relating to game and animation. So, he gets excited to learn these two subjects at the university. "Since my childhood I had always liked the computer. When I have graduated in the future, I want to be an entrepreneur, making a company that develops information system and automotive," he said.
During the new student induction event, he was got into talking with special guests, such as Central Java Governor, Ganjar Pranowo, S.H., M.IP. The lecturer of the Vocational School, who is also a filmmaker, Wikan Sakarinto, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., had a chat with him, too, where Fahmi told him about his interest in learning animation to which Wikan responded well.
"We need good animators to develop Indonesian animation industry. Later on I have a good job for you, I'd like to ask you to join my animation project," Wikan said.
Fahmi hopes to get much knowledge and experience while studying at UGM for his future career. With the support from his family and friends, he is convinced he will be able to achieve his goals.
"Hopefully, I can always do my job, where I can develop IT and make useful products," he said.

by Ilana Silver
Aaron and I wake up within our cocoon of mosquito netting inside the glorified chicken coop we call a home. It's been weeks now that we've shared this hut at the end of "Toad Road," affectionately named for the toads that come out at night and freeze like deer in headlights as we weave our way around their static selves. As soon as the flashlight beam passes over they regain mobility and it's with an occasional squeal that they launch their bodies against our feet and ankles.
Our nights are further punctuated by the crowing of roosters and feet scuttling upon our roof. Aaron, half asleep, settles me with a, "shhh, it's just the rats." A treaty was struck with the cockroach, first in my head but then aloud, that we could coexist if it would be so kind to remain off of the bed. I heroically tell the tale of its eviction following the broken agreement and am gently reminded that more will come. And yet, fauna included, this farm is a haven.
There's a certain guilt I feel as a Mainer having abandoned my frigid post for the winter, fleeing to tropical days on Maui. The invitation from a dear friend to come and farm came not without hesitation, but ultimately I found myself on a supremely long flight to a very small dot in the middle of the Pacific. It was just over eight years ago when Joey and I met on a farm in Oregon and spent a summer working in the garden, harvesting and processing firewood, and learning what it meant to live in community without electricity, phone reception, or an indoor bathroom. Of the five interns, Joey was the person I thought I'd stay in touch with the least, but in the years since, he has gradually become one of my best friends. Though we've crossed paths many times since Oregon, taking turns driving or flying across state lines and time zones, we've never lived in the same place since that summer. I eventually went on to study social work in graduate school, and Joey pursued his education in fields and greenhouses around the western United States before taking on the role as farm manager on Maui.
While his hands were working the earth, mine furiously forged essays until all the words had been leeched out of me. The ever-devoted student, I am no stranger to prioritizing school to the detriment of my well-being. Growing up, I quickly learned how to satisfy the external demands of academia, steadily cutting off parts of myself in order to take a shape that wasn't my own in pursuit of "success." This continued through college, and by the time grad school came to an end, I could feel how disconnected I'd become from my body; a head floating along untethered to anything inside of myself. I watched frantically as those around me started posting about jobs and licensure, swirling in uncertainty as to whether this was the right career path for me. I pulled back from peers and colleagues, turned away from social media, and hoped that by turning down the volume of those around me, I might begin to hear my own voice a little more clearly.
There's an old agricultural practice in Judaism known as "Shmita," the sabbatical year, a word that translates most accurately to "release." Every seven years the land is left untended, allowed to rest, and that which was harvested privately becomes communal. As it were, the Jewish year 5782 that began in the fall happens to be a Shmita year. Shmita was not on my mind as I mentally limped out of grad school in late August, but I knew I needed a chance to reset and come back into relationship with myself. It felt like fleeing though, until a friend sent the words I needed to hear. Like the north star, Rabbi Adina Allen's words guided me in the direction I had perhaps already known I needed to follow:
"This year, on this Shmita Yom Kippur, we imagine. We imagine moving out of time, letting ourselves go fallow, releasing our preconceived ideas about how things work and who we are and, then, like a field left untended, waking up to the symphony of life that we're a part of. We imagine letting go of our orderly ideas and well-manicured identities and seeing what untamed beauty might bloom, what might proliferate on its own, in its own natural time. We imagine stopping tilling the soil of our souls — constantly keeping ourselves in a state of activation — and seeing what happens when we let the sediment settle for a while; when we allow the work that happens below the surface of our mind to occur."
The irony of farming during a Shmita year is not lost on me, but while I pull stubborn weeds and plant rows of crops my mind is allowed to rest for the first time in years. The anxiousness of academic deadlines slowly seeps away much like the water drains out of over-saturated garden beds in our winter rainy season. All the while we are tending to this green, lush land and I wonder what else is being cultivated. It seems as though the sediment has indeed begun to settle in response to the rhythmic aspects of farming, and I am once again reminded of the many different ways that life can look.
I see it in the span of farm interns who come from all different backgrounds, who both challenge and support me daily. It's in the work, too, and the creativity and collaboration represented in each aspect of a farm; a living tapestry of those that came before in conversation with the land. The trees that tower over us and give shade on the sunny days, refuge from rain on the damp, were planted by individuals who knew to invest in a future they might not witness. If there were ever an act of hope to be seen, it's in farming.
So much is written on hope, but perhaps most simply we know it as the thing with feathers. It is then only too fitting that this snowbird indulges in hope and farming alongside self-proclaimed odd bird, Aaron. It may not be clear yet how long we call this farm or this hut our home, but there is permission for it to unfold as it does and in its own time. For now, we will re-route the spider webs woven dutifully across the walkway and look under the couch for "gifts" from the cat. For now, we will allow that which grows wild and without tending.

Can Social Media Based Phones Really Make An Impact?
The smartphone market is sure where the entire cellular market seems to be headed, but once you reach a saturation point with this technology, where do you go next? For the time being, speed is certainly being worked on with the WiMax and LTD initiatives to bring us faster mobile broadband. Applications are being developed at a blistering speed, and the operating system battlefield is seeing a bit of a shake up with Palm up for sale. So what are the current companies to do to gain even more customers and converts from the standard phone market? Apparently it is to make more job specific, or niche phones.
The iPhone, Android, BlackBery and even, yes, WebOS, has have pretty much locked up the application development front, and while there are tons of social media/networking apps out there, they all do feel like add-ons layered on top of the phones as opposed to a part of the phone itself. That is where other phones are trying to step in, most notably Microsoft with the Windows Phone 7 and Kin 1 & Kin 2. While these handsets are still phones at their hearts, the integration with social services is unmistakable.
While the Kin 1 & Kin 2 are clearly directed at more casual users (i.e. teens) than the average person who reads a tech blog, you still have to wonder how much of an impact these devices will make in the marketplace. Are they going to have enough of a "cool" factor to get their intended target demographic to give up their desire for iPhones and other devices with a slick physical look? It isn't always about the brains of the device, but how it compliments ones overall physical appearance.
Then the last question is do the casual users really want their phones to be overtaken by the social aspects? Is this really the main thing they are concerned about when looking into a phone? Have they gotten so used to the customizable aspects of other phones that they don't want to give them up just to make sure that Facebook is feeding them information in a constant stream? Can they give up the other aspects a smartphone offers them just to be all social?
Like so many products that are coming out right now breaking into new niche markets, only time will tell how popular these really will be with users. Are manufacturers betting too much on a new market when it has yet to prove itself?
What say you? Are these phones going to be able to find enough of a market to be sustainable?


Quentin recently appeared in the Birmingham Crown Court on behalf of RK, a man convicted of producing high quality forgeries of Bank of England £10 notes. The Prosecution made three ancillary applications- for a £130,000 confiscation order, for £6,250 in costs and for an extremely wide ranging Serious Crime Prevention Order lasting 5 years.
Following significant legal over the course of two days the Court ruled conclusively in Quentin's favour. No confiscation order was made, no order for costs was made and the judge refused to grant a Serious Crime Prevention order against RK.
See Quentin's blog for details on how to oppose a Serious Crime Prevention Order. "

Dr. Shahnazarians welcomes patients of all ages and looks forward to meeting you and offering you the professional, caring and pain free oral health care that you deserve.
"I had a great experience recently with Art of Dentistry. Dr. Shahnazarians is truly a wonderful dentist. The appointment process was very efficient. I was able to call and get something set up right away. The staff as well are incredibly friendly! Dr. Shahanzarians took the time to explain everything! ... what procedures had to take place and recommended where to start first. I, for one (like most I assume), am not a fan of attending dental appointments, but I was pleasantly surprised at how caring, patient and thorough the dentist and staff were towards my dental needs. My teeth and I thank you so very much!."
"You will be surprised. I recommend coming here."
"Two months ago, I was recommended by my mom's friend who has been coming to this dentist for a while now. She told me how amazing they are (she wasn't wrong). A month later I believe, I called and quickly they answered and made an appointment for my mom and I. Ever since the first appointment, everything else just happened so quickly that all my dental work was done within a month. The doctor and her assistant are very sweet and kind. They are light-handed that I didn't feel anything during the process of all of my fillings (btw she only does porcelain fillings, it's great!). No pain and no discomfort (my personal experience) ... The secretary is very sweet as well. She will do the best she can to help you with anything you need. She will contact those in your insurance if you have any problems and make sure to fix it quickly. Even the place itself is beautiful and clean. You will be surprised. I recommend coming here. It is worth my drive from LA to Pasadena."

Every parent strives to give their children a good start in life, and instilling good oral habits plays a significant part in that. The Center for Disease Control estimates that approximately 40% of preschool-age children have at least some level of tooth decay, which can cause not only pain and discomfort but also difficulties with chewing and speech development. Therefore, it is important that parents not only teach their children proper dental hygiene at home but that they also seek out preventative care from a dentist who is specially trained to care for children.
Your child's first set of teeth typically start to bud at approximately six months of age, and most children will begin losing their baby teeth by age six or seven. These are then replaced by permanent teeth. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children receive a "well baby" dental exam when the first tooth appears or at least by age one, and then regular checkups every six months going forward.

Six new books for reds and greens, as recommended by Climate and Capitalist editor Ian Angus.
Henry Heller's short account shows that capitalism has always been a double-edged sword, on one hand advancing humanity, and on the other harming traditional societies and our natural environment. He makes the case that capitalism has now become self-destructive, and that our current era of neoliberalism may trigger a transition to a democratic and ecologically aware form of socialism.
The problem of drug resistance already kills more than 1 million people across the world every year and has huge economic costs. Without action, this problem will become significantly worse.
Superbugs outlines the major systematic failures that have led to this growing crisis, It argues for mounting an offense against this threat through agricultural policy changes, an industrial research stimulus, and other broad-scale economic and social incentives.
We live in a time of unprecedented hurricanes and catastrophic weather events. It is a time when it is increasingly clear that climate change is neither imagined nor distant — and that rising seas are transforming the coastline of the United States in irrevocable ways. Rising is a lyrical meditation on vulnerability and on vulnerable communities.
Two leading critical theorists show how various regimes of capitalism have relied on a series of institutional separations between economy and polity, production and social reproduction, and human and non-human nature, periodically readjusting the boundaries between these domains in response to crises and upheavals.
What emerges is a renewed crisis critique of capitalism that puts our present conjuncture into broader perspective, along with sharp diagnoses of the recent resurgence of right-wing populism and what is required of a viable Left alternative.
In the world's most affluent and food secure societies, why is it now publicly acceptable to feed donated surplus food, dependent on corporate food waste, to millions of hungry people?
While recognising the moral imperative to feed hungry people, this book challenges the effectiveness, sustainability and moral legitimacy of globally entrenched corporate food banking as the primary response to rich world food poverty.
The US is governed by an aristocracy of huge inherited wealth that is accumulating immense political power. Their shameless pursuit of wealth and self-aggrandisement, often at taxpayer expense, rewards channelling the flow of income and wealth to elites.
That inequality, in turn, has choked off social mobility and made a joke of meritocracy. It has exacerbated the dangerous instability of an American democracy divided between extreme wealth and extreme poverty.


The Roman Baths Museum is located at the ground floor of a parking facility, some 3 metres below today's street level. It exhibits some impressive remnants of ancient Aquileia, an important Roman settlement in Heidenheim.
The centrepiece of the museum, which was opened in autumn 1984, is a monumental Roman structure, seat of a former administrative official of high rank, possibly even the secondary residence of the Roman province governor of Augsburg. You can see the remains of a small bathing building through the window of the entrance rotunda, even if the museum is closed. A diaporama leads you through the exhibition and several footbridges facilitate a direct way to the remnants of the wall. The impressive encounter with ancient times is complimented by the display of many archeological finds of Heidenheim and its surroundings. Visitors can go back some 1900 years in time and learn exemplary, interesting facts about the history and everyday life of a frontier province of the Roman Empire.
Tabula Peutingeriana, handing down the ancient name of Aquileia for the Roman settlement in Heidenheim.
This mentioning of the Roman settlement in the Tabula Peutingeriana offers further proof of the central role of Heidenheim for the regional administration in Roman times at the intersection of several transport routes. The Tabula Peutingeriana was named after the humanist Konrad Peutinger from Augsburg and is nowadays kept safe at the Austrian National Library in Vienna. A complete reproduction of this unique document on a scale of 2,5:1 can be seen at top floor of the Roman Baths Museum in Heidenheim.
