In this short video produced by TIFF, Ava DuVernay discusses the importance of featuring diverse voices in front of and behind the camera.
Not only is film forever, but film also informs so much of what we understand about the world. By restricting who gets to make movies, and who and what those films are about, we drastically limit the possibilities of the medium. When we see films about women, people of color, young people, old people, gay people, transgender people, disabled people, Muslims, Jews, indigenous people, immigrants – it's essentially a reminder that those stories matter. You matter.
Demand that Hollywood represent our richly diverse nation. Watch movies made by women and people of color. Seek out films from other countries. Share your love of these films. Do your part.

About Pitt Chronicle
Good Business: Pitt and the Oakland District
By Katie Fike
This is a homepage feature (With small image)
Shoppers fill their baskets with glossy notebooks and other supplies at The University Store on Fifth. Down the street, customers craving a refreshing treat form a line, crowding the sidewalk outside Rita's Italian Ice. In the city bustle, would-be patrons glimpse into restaurants, looking for an empty seat among diners, many of whom are clad in blue and gold.
The end of summer means the return of students to the University of Pittsburgh—and the return of their business to Oakland restaurants and stores. It is a partnership that benefits both the Pitt community and the surrounding business district.
"Business owners choose to locate in Oakland because we are the mecca for the region's universities and hospitals," said Georgia Petropoulos, executive director of the Oakland Business Improvement District (OBID). Oakland is Pennsylvania's third-largest economic center, and the OBID membership comprises more than 250 businesses and property owners, including the University of Pittsburgh.
Kannu Sahni, Pitt's director of community relations, cited the University's prominent role in boosting the Oakland corridor's economic strength. "The University is at the heart of the 'eds and meds,' knowledge-based economy that has driven the resurgence of our region. Our direct contributions through OBID—and our active partnership with OBID and its members—help make the central business district clean, attractive, and welcoming, which draws both businesses and customers to the district."
For instance, Brandon Smith (A&S '06), co-owner of Fuel and Fuddle, has observed the dynamic between the University and the Oakland business community from both sides. The restaurant hired Smith as a server during his sophomore year. Smith progressed as a bartender, manager, and general manager until he purchased the restaurant about a year ago.
"The University plays a huge role in what we do," said Smith. "Stop in before a Pitt hoops game, and you'll get the idea. Students, alumni, fans, players … it's crazy."
Fuel and Fuddle experiences a 20 percent business decline during the summer, but the lunch crowd remains steady, Smith said. During the academic year, the $5 menu offered between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. draws an influx of students eager to satisfy their late-night hunger.
3 Guys Optical is another Oakland business—among many—that caters to students and others in the Pitt community who set their sights on shopping near campus.
"We offer free repairs and adjustments to students and University staff, even if they did not purchase their eyewear with us," said Joseph Hisker, the Oakland store manager.
"We also offer exclusive in-store student and University discounts throughout the year."
As Pitt's Arrival Survival commences today, literally thousands of first-year students will be rolling into town with filled-to-the-brim vans and cars, ready for their move into residence halls. Soon, Oakland's streets will be flush with a steady stream of shoppers.
"Oakland's businesses look forward with great anticipation to move-in each fall," said Pitt's Sahni.

Viltuš je dvorec v bližini Maribora. Je naslednik starega gradu Viltuš na bližnjem hribu, njegovo ime pa naj bi izhajalo iz nemške besede wildhaus.

Novi dvorec je bil pozidan na ravnici ob Dravi. Gradnja je potekala v več fazah, končno podobo pa je dobil v drugi polovici 19. stoletja, ko so mu izjemno priljubljeni historični slogi vdahnili pečat romantičnega neonormanskega sloga. Dvorec je zato arhitektonsko zelo razgiban, temelji pa na več organsko zraščenih, čeprav po višini in usmerjenosti povsem različnih, kril. Očara te z množico frčad in stolpičev, predvsem pa z obkrajnim velikim stolpom, ki obvladuje celotno stavbo in ji daje novo komponento. Nekoč je bil grad odlično opremljen - o tem pričajo redke ohranjene fotografije. Slovel je po marmornih kaminih, nekaj enkratnih kiparskih delih (npr. damino poprsje) ter predvsem po rezljanih lesenih stropovih.
Dvorec je bil postavljen v velik in urejen park angleškega tipa, zasajen z mnogimi redkimi, domačimi in tujerodnimi (med temi izstopajo nekateri eksoti) drevesnimi vrstami.
Danes dvorec nima prave namembnosti. Je javnosti zaprt prostor in zato pogosta tarča huliganstva. Posledica je nezadržno propadanje. Stvar je še poslabšala nova cesta, ki je razrezala park na dvoje in ga tako odtujila od gradu.

Grajski park
Grajski park se razprostira okoli graščine. Njegova zasnova je razdeljena v več delov:
 oranžerija,
 cvetlični vrt,
 trate,
 drevesni park,
 ribnik,
 gozd.
Park predstavlja kvaliteten primer ureditve na prehodu iz 19. v 20. stoletje v romantičnem slogu s sestavinam eklekticizma in eksotizma in je pomemben iz dendrološkega (redke eksotične vrste) vidika ter vrtnoarhitekturnega zgodovinskega vidika.

Poleg domačih in običajnih vrst drevja (hrast, smreka, zeleni bor, jesen), se park odlikuje z redkimi tujimi vrstami (močvirski taksodij Taxodium distichum, tulipovec Lyriodendron tulipifera, gledičija Glepaniculata, kavkaška jelka Abies nordmanniana, kanadska čuga Tsuga canadensis, čopasti taksodijevec Sciadopitys verticulata, magnolija Magnolia macrophylla).

Zaradi nezadostnega vzdrževanja in starosti parkovna vegetacija propada.

What is Traumatic Brain Injury? Home > What is Traumatic Brain Injury?
In most other aspects, a traumatic brain injury is very different. Since our brain defines who we are, the consequences of a brain injury can affect all aspects of our lives, including our personality. A brain injury is different from a broken limb or punctured lung. An injury in these areas limit the use of a specific part of your body, but your personality and mental abilities remain unchanged. Most often, these body structures heal and regain their previous function.
Brain injuries do not heal like other injuries. Recovery is a functional recovery, based on mechanisms that remain uncertain. No two brain injuries are alike and the consequence of two similar injuries may be very different. Symptoms may appear right away or may not be present for days or weeks after the injury.
One of the consequences of brain injury is that the person often does not realize that a brain injury has occurred.

Blackboard Collaborated‑Based Instruction in an Academic Writing Class: Sociocultural Perspectives of Learning pp336-345
Hlaviso Motlhaka
© Jan 2020 Volume 18 Issue 4, Editor: Heinrich Söbke and Marija Cubric, pp276 - 372
Academic writing in higher education involves acculturation of discourse characterised by new and unfamiliar social, cultural and academic conventions which remain a huge challenge for instructors and students worldwide. This study aimed at investigating the use of Blackboard Collaborated‑Based Instruction to improve academic writing skills of second language writers. Drawing from Vygotsky's sociocultural framework, this study is premised on online collaborative writing tasks which encourage peer feedback and the exchange of ideas that gives sense of an audience larger than one consisting only of the teacher. Data were collected through metacognitive reflective interview of eight first‑year students registered for a Bachelor of Education degree programme. The findings show that Blackboard Collaborated‑Based Instruction provided second language writers with an online learning community in which they collaborate and help each other in editing, revising, and improving their academic essay through peer feedback. The findings also provide an insight into how learning academic writing skills is facilitated by scaffolding between peers wherein Blackboard Collaborated‑Based Instruction serves as a mediator in students' development of academic writing.

Bring Your Own Device to Secondary School: The Perceptions of Teachers, Students and Parents pp66-80
David Parsons, Janak Adhikari
© Apr 2016 Volume 14 Issue 1, ECEL 2015, Editor: Amanda Jefferies and Marija Cubric, pp1 - 80
Abstract: This paper reports on the first two years of a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiative in a New Zealand secondary school, using data derived from a series of surveys of teachers, parents and students, who are the main stakeholders in the trans formation to a BYOD school. In this paper we analyse data gathered from these surveys, which consists primarily of qualitative data from free text questions, but also includes some quantitative data from structured questions, giving insights into the chal lenges faced by teachers, students and parents in moving to a BYOD classroom, and the potential benefits for teaching and learning, and preparing students for a digital world. We frame our analysis from a sociocultural perspective that takes account of st ructures, agency and cultural practices and the interactions between these domains. Thematic analysis was performed by considering these domains from the responses of the three stakeholder groups. We found that there were some tensions in these domain rel ationships, with contexts and practices having to be renegotiated as the BYOD classroom and the structures within which it operates have evolved. On the surface, it appears that many of the changes to cultural practice are substitution or augmentation of previous activities, for example using one‑to‑one devices for researching and presenting material. However, when we look deeper, it is evident that apparently straightforward adoption of digital media is having a more profound impact on structure and agen cy within the classroom. While the structural impact of digital infrastructures does raise some concerns from all stakeholders, it is clear that it is the curricular structure that is the most contentious area of debate, given its impact on both agency an d cultural practice. While the majority of respondents reported positive changes in classroom management and learning, there were nevertheless some concerns about the radical nature of the change to BYOD, though very rarely from teachers. If there is an a rea where agency may be most problematic, it i

Evil Pirates: Movie Industry Tops $30 Billion Box Office Record
February 24, 2011 by Ernesto Van der Sar
Home > Opinion Articles >
The movie industry certainly had something to celebrate when it announced 2010's box office revenues. For the first time in history box office grosses worldwide have surpassed the magic $30 billion mark and revenues are up 8 percent compared to 2009. But it's not all positive news. Despite their achievements, in a surreal plot twist the MPAA is still calling for tougher legislation and strict enforcement to deal with the ever-looming piracy ghost.
The MPAA has made it very clear that hundreds of thousands of jobs are under threat and the economy is losing billions due to piracy. Illegal downloads, they say, are slowly killing their creative industry.
However, in a time where nearly every MPAA press release deals with piracy concerns, box office revenues are booming worldwide. The MPAA has just announced that in 2010 yet another record was broken at the box office. In the US and Canada last year's record of $10.6 billion was equalled, while worldwide grosses swelled to a massive $31.8 billion.
"It was a strong year at the movies in 2010. Despite a weak economy, shifting business models, and the ongoing impact of digital theft, we had another record year at the global box office driven by growth outside the U.S. and Canada," MPAA President Bob Pisano said, commenting on the record-breaking revenues worldwide.
"The continued theft of movies online will have a sustained adverse impact on movie attendance in the coming years," Pisano added somewhat predictably. "It's impossible to compete with free."
Oh really? That last statement, although catchy, makes absolutely no sense in this context.
Does the MPAA chief truly believe that a shaky camcorded version of a movie is somehow depriving movie theaters of visitors? Are there millions of people who prefer watching a low quality camcorded version of a movie over a theater visit simply because they can save a few bucks?
Pisano is comparing apples and oranges here – and he and his buddies have nearly 32 billion reasons in their back pocket to prove it.
It would be the same as saying that a fan of band X won't go to a concert because he can download a bootleg copy on the Internet instead. Movie piracy is hardly a threat (or competition) to movie theater attendances. If anything holds people back from spending a few dollars on a movie it's probably the insane security measures that have been implemented in recent years.
Still, the MPAA is confident that piracy is affecting box office revenues, so it will therefore continue to push for new legislation and enforcement tools.
"We will continue to work with our industry partners to fight for common sense ways, through legislative, enforcement and legal avenues, to vigilantly protect the creativity at the heart of our industry from theft," Pisano says.
One of the focuses of the MPAA has been to reduce camcording in movie theaters, but one has to question whether the investments that are made in this area are worth it. Do movie theater employees really have to be equipped with night vision goggles? Are metal detectors, emotion recognition and advanced audio watermarks really needed to pinpoint pirates?
It is almost as if the MPAA and other anti-piracy outfits continue this "piracy theater" just to guarantee and justify their jobs and those of their comrades. Make no mistake, anti-piracy is big business. There are dozens of anti-piracy outfits, copyright protection vendors and lobby groups that each earn millions of dollars merely because of this supposed piracy threat.

Q: the setAdapter method on a Spinner object - Do we always need to implement it as an extension of ArrayAdapter? Consider the following code, which is a simple way of defining a spinner with data from an Array backing its function:
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity implements AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {
    Spinner myspinner;
    ArrayAdapter<String> myadapter;
    final String[] sample_data={"Sankar", "Sunita", "Hari", "Susha", "Lovely"};

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
        super.onCreate(icicle);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        myspinner=(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.myspinner);
        myadapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,sample_data);
        myadapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        myspinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
        myspinner.setAdapter(myadapter);

    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Nothing Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

My point here is that in order to implement the spinner, I am having to use an ArrayAdapter. Can't I associate the Spinner directly with an implementation of SpinnerAdapter? SpinnerAdapter does not have a setDropDownViewResource method like ArrayAdapter, so how would we set the drop down view resource that should show on the spinner? I'm am confused on how SpinnerAdapter is serving its purpose as an adapter for a Spinner when it cannot provide the two view (field and dropdown) that the spinner requires?
Any help is appreciated.

A: SpinnerAdapter is an interface and so only defines a set of methods which are required to support a Spinner.
ArrayAdapter is a class, and implements the SpinnerAdapter interface methods along with other functionality to actually provide a working implementation.
You can write your own class which implements the methods from the SpinnerAdapter interface to show what you want to show in a drop down, but as SpinnerAdapter contains no code, you can't use the SpinnerAdapter itself.
The best way to think of it is SpinnerAdapter tells you what you need to do (as it is an interface), and ArrayAdapter actually does it (because it is a class).

Is Florida doing better on COVID-19 than "locked down" states?
• Currently, Florida has relatively low rates of coronavirus cases, deaths and hospitalizations. However, the connection between this and Florida's light regulation of businesses' and residents' behavior is less clear-cut than DeSantis suggests.
• Only about half of the 10 most stringently regulated states saw rates of cases, deaths and hospitalizations that were twice as high as Florida's, which was DeSantis' benchmark.
• Numerous other states that followed similarly low-regulation policies are seeing coronavirus statistics far worse than Florida's. This means Florida's lower infection numbers could be related to factors other than behavioral regulations, such as its warmer weather.
See the sources for this fact-check
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has resisted pleas from some of his state's mayors to enact statewide measures to fight COVID-19, such as a mask mandate and the power to adopt local restrictions.
The day before Florida recorded its 1 millionth case, DeSantis told reporters that states in lockdown mode are faring worse than Florida.
"So I hear people say, 'Oh, well, Florida is open, and they're having increased cases,'" DeSantis said Nov. 30. "Well, OK, the states that are locked down are increasing at twice the rate we are. If you look at the per capita cases, in a lot of these states that have closed schools, businesses shuttered, some of them even post stay-at-home orders there, you see a huge increase in these cases."
We checked DeSantis' claim that "the states that are locked down are increasing at twice the rate we are." We found that while Florida is doing comparatively well at the moment, DeSantis overstated the correlation between cases and lockdown rules. It's likely that other factors beyond just a state's rules are affecting COVID-19 rates.
The state of lockdowns nationwide
In an effort to reduce the spread of the virus, states have enacted — and then sometimes relaxed or lifted — various restrictions, including mask mandates, limits on restaurant capacity, and bans on large gatherings.
DeSantis, a Republican, issued an order Sept. 25 that generally lifted restrictions on businesses and suspended fines for people who didn't comply. While many stores and restaurants have adopted their own mask and social distancing rules, Floridians have still packed into some bars and other gathering spots.
In November, cases in Florida were on the rise, but unlike some other governors, DeSantis said he wouldn't issue new mandates.
Reviewing the evidence
We asked Fred Piccolo, a spokesperson for DeSantis, for evidence to explain the governor's claim that cases in states that are locked down are increasing twice as fast as in Florida.
Piccolo cited a New York Times state-by-state analysis, updated Nov. 30, showing which states have businesses that are mostly closed, which ones have no restrictions, and which ones are "mixed." The Times also published a map showing states with stay-at-home orders or advisories.
Piccolo then used the Covid Act Now website to calculate the number of cases and hospitalizations per 100,000 residents in some of the states with more stringent restrictions.
We checked the numbers ourselves. We focused on the states that the Times had cited as enacting the most stringent restrictions for either businesses or residents as of Nov. 30, as well as the states that had a medium level of restrictions on both businesses and residents. All told, 10 states qualified for this group of states with high coronavirus-related restrictions. (Our list of 10 states was slightly different from the one Piccolo provided, but not substantively so.)
Broadly speaking, we found that Florida's record, at least as of the beginning of December, compared favorably with most states across the country, including those with tighter restrictions. Specifically, in comparisons of coronavirus cases deaths and hospitalizations per capita, Florida ranked among the best, and better than some of the more highly regulated states. (Click on the chart to see separate comparisons for cases, deaths, and hospitalizations.)
So there's something to what DeSantis said. However, there are also some important caveats.
First, some of the more highly regulated states performed better than Florida did. For instance, Oregon, Washington state and California had fewer coronavirus deaths per capita than Florida did, while Massachusetts, Oregon and Washington state had lower hospitalization rates.
Second, DeSantis' reference to "twice the rate" undercuts the strength of his argument. Out of the 10 states with the most stringent rules, only about half had per capita cases, deaths and hospitalizations that were twice as high as Florida's rate.
Third, Florida may be faring better than many other states in fighting the coronavirus, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a lack of restrictions is to credit for better coronavirus statistics.
stated on December 29, 2020 in a Facebook post
The following chart shows 27 states, including Florida, that the New York Times' analysis found to have the least restrictive COVID-19 rules on businesses and residents.
Once again, Florida ranks well compared with the other states on cases, deaths and hospitalizations. But many of the states that followed similarly low levels of restrictions as Florida did ended up with far worse outcomes.
We found that 12 of the low-restriction states had double Florida's case rate, eight had double the rate of deaths, and nine had double the rate of hospitalizations. Five states had double Florida's rate in each of the three statistics — South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, and Indiana — and another five states had twice Florida's rate for two statistics.
RELATED: In Nebraska, skyrocketing cases of COVID-19 put localities, governor on separate tracks
It's also important to note that some states added or tightened restrictions in November, making the impact so far difficult to evaluate.
Why might Florida be doing relatively well?
The comparison with other lightly regulated states suggests that Florida may be doing relatively well for reasons other than its low-regulation policy.
For example, Florida's weather makes it easier for residents to eat and gather outdoors, even at this time of year. Scientists have generally said that the virus passes from person to person less easily outdoors than in cramped indoor spaces.
"I think it's reasonable to say that the warmer weather certainly plays a part in Florida's relative success," said Brooke Nichols, an infectious-disease mathematical modeler at the Boston University School of Public Health. "It's no longer incredibly hot, necessitating indoor gathering for air conditioning, but not too cold that people need to congregate indoors for heat."
In addition, it's hard to establish causation: Is it the loose regulation that helps reduce infection rates, or is it the low infection rates that allow for looser regulations?
Miami-Dade, the state's most populous county, had an increase in cases following the removal of the mitigation strategies, said Mary Jo Trepka, chair of the Department of Epidemiology at Florida International University.
"We don't know how bad it will get," Trepka said.
It's also important to remember that states aren't walled-off jurisdictions. During much of the pandemic, Florida has been open to tourists, which means we don't know whether coronavirus transmission within Florida is increasing infections in other states after those tourists return home, said Marissa Levine, a public health professor at the University of South Florida.
Jason L. Salemi, associate professor of epidemiology at the University of South Florida, cautions that the success DeSantis claimed is only in comparison with other states, and that cases and hospitalizations have been rising over the last few weeks. "That, to me, is indicative of how serious the situation is across the country," he said.
DeSantis said, "The states that are locked down are increasing at twice the rate we are" in Florida.
Currently, Florida does have relatively low rates of coronavirus cases, deaths and hospitalizations. But the connection between those statistics and Florida's light restrictions on businesses and residents is less clear-cut than DeSantis suggests.
Only about half of the 10 most stringently regulated states saw rates of cases, deaths and hospitalizations that were twice as high as Florida's — DeSantis' benchmark.
Meanwhile, numerous other states that followed the same less restrictive policies as Florida have fared far worse than Florida. This suggests that factors other than behavioral regulations, such as warm weather, may play a role in keeping coronavirus infections relatively low in Florida.
We rate the statement Half True.

Q: Plotting proportional data python (stacked barplot) I have a data set where clients answer a question, and clients belong to a certain category. The category is ordinal. I want to visualize the change in percentages as a proportional stacked barplot. Here is some test data:
answer | categ
1        1
2        1
3        2
1        2
2        3
3        3
1        1
2        1
3        2
1        2
2        3
3        3
1        3
2        2
3        1

Here is how you can generate it:
pd.DataFrame({'answer':[1,2,3]*5, 'categ':[1,1,2,2,3,3]*2+[3,2,1]})

Using some convoluted code which can probably be written much nicer and more efficient I got to percentages within the answer.
test = pd.DataFrame({'answer':[1,2,3]*5, 'categ':[1,1,2,2,3,3]*2+[3,2,1]})
rel_data = pd.merge(pd.DataFrame(test.groupby(['answer','categ']).size()).reset_index(),pd.DataFrame(test.groupby('answer').size()).reset_index(), how='left', on='answer')
rel_data.columns = ['answer', 'categ', 'number_combination', 'number_answer']
rel_data['perc'] = rel_data['number_combination']/rel_data['number_answer']
rel_data[['answer', 'categ', 'perc']]

This results in:
answer | categ | perc
1        1       0.4
1        2       0.4
1        3       0.2
2        1       0.4
2        2       0.2
2        3       0.4
3        1       0.2
3        2       0.4
3        3       0.4

How do I get this into a stacked bar plot with per answer a bar and colored areas per category?

A: Once I had the last dataframe, I could get it fairly easily. By doing this:
rel_data = rel_data.groupby(['answer','categ']).\
    perc.sum().unstack().plot(kind='bar', stacked=True, ylim=(0,1))

It's again dirty but at least it got the job done. The perc.sum turns it into one value per group (even though it already was that), the unstack() turns it into a DF with the categories as columns and the answers as rows, the plot turns this into a proportional stacked barplot. The ylim is due to some tiny rounding error where it could add up to 1.00001 which added a whole new tick.

A: This is by no means perfect but it's a start:
for i in set(df.categ):
    colors = ["r", "g", "b", "y", "o"] #etc....
    if i == 1:
        x = np.zeros(len(set(df.answer)))
    else:
        x += df[df.categ == i - 1].perc.as_matrix()

    plt.bar(df[df.categ == i].answer, df[df.categ == i].perc, bottom=x, color=colors[i - 1])

plt.xticks(list(set(df.answer)))
plt.show()

The approach is to group the data first by category and then we can iterate over each category to get the answers which will be the individual bars. We then check if its the first iteration by the i == 1 check. This creates an empty array which will be used when stacking. Then we draw the first bars. Then we iterate and add the height of the bars as we go into the variable x.
The colors array are there just so you can differentiate the bars a bit better.
Hope this helps.

A: You can make a barplot with the matplotlib library. Follow this tuto : http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/barchart_demo.html

I was using a global so far, but this works just fine.
And I suppose there is no way system can predict the next build time, so I might need to setup some sort of count down script and reset it on every build.
I am thinking about setting up cron job (using your Cron Manager Plugin) for build changed every 2 to 3 hours.
To be honest, with the size of your site - I wouldn't recommend that =) At the most, maybe once every 12 hours - but IMO, I wouldn't bother doing it more than once a day.
Alright lets calculate it for 12 hours update.
However how do you propose we can display the timer on the site.
What I am trying to do is insert next build time (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) in below code. So it can display time remaining before the next update on the site.
Here is a possible solution if you can figure out on how to make the global work.
Above global output last build time. Now if it can be edited so it will display Last Build Time + 8 or 10 or 12 hours as set in the global (without breaking days/month/year), it would be 110% perfect solution.
So in final output the counter will only show 10 : mm : ss .. till next build.
What you probably need to do, is have a "countdown" script. I just had a quick look around, but couldn't spend any more time looking at one - as I'm very busy.
This would give stuff like <%now_year%>, <%now_month%> etc - so you can call them in your script.
I know what you mean about looking up for countdown script. I looked at quite a few myself, however either most of them were bulky and had tons of codes or with very little feature. The one I have setup right now only has few lines of code and seems to work like a charm for certain fixed counter, but when it comes to setting up new time, I didn't found anything even remotely closed.
That's an interesting idea, and I suppose using combination of if/elseif I should be able to setup something for this function.
This global would give an exact output, and using if/elseif conditions it might also be possible to make it work, however it seems like code will get bit messy to keep date, month and year current, like only 10 hours behind next build date or trying to display next build time exactly 12 hours after current build date..
This is an optional but highly desired feature for the site, however the more I think of it, the more messy it seems.
Hey I was testing this global and was thinking.. The way you are adding up +1 in above global, would it be possible +12 hours be added in below global?
You are right. I am checking server load during test builds and it seems to go into red even on a good server.
Yeah, as I said - even once a day is almost overkill (it all really depends on how many reviews / new listings you validate each day - if you are not validating more than a couple of listings/reviews a day, I'd just set it up to run maybe once every 1 day, or even every 2 days.
Also, I just learned, not to not to do rebuild search and build at the same time !!! not the best idea.
I am expecting to validate reasonable listings every day, so it might be best to stick with your previous suggestion of 12 hours build and then update the build time based on site updates.

The company was founded by Renault in 1974[2] as the Société Financière de Renault or Sofiren,[6] being intended as a way of financing sales for its dealerships and to manage the automaker's cash flow. On 27 June 1980 it was renamed Renault Crédit International (RCI).[6] In 1990, it merged with Diac[7] (Diffusion Industrielle et Automobile par le Crédit) SA, a company formed in 1924 by Louis Renault[8] as a result of the lack of liquid funds after the 1921 crisis[9] and with similar objectives, but focused exclusively on loans for the purchase of vehicles[10] (today Diac operates as a RCI Banque's wholly owned subsidiary ).[11] By 1990, RCI contributed with more than one-third of Renault group's net income.[12] In November 2001, the company adopted its current name, RCI Banque.[2]
RCI Banque offers automobile financing lines (11.09 billion euros in financing and 1,024,771 vehicles at the end of 2011), insurance (2.5 million active insurance policies at the end of 2011) and related services, including car loans (used and brand-new), rentals with purchasing options, leases, long-term rentals for retail customers and services, such as maintenance, extended warranties, roadside assistance, fleet management, and credit cards.[2][5]
The company also finances new vehicles, used vehicles, and spare parts, as well as short-term cash requirements for the Renault-Nissan Alliance dealerships. It has subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Algeria, Morocco, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, and the European Union.[2]
RCI Banque is one of the largest issuers of auto loan asset-backed securities in Europe. In 2004, it had, together with the PSA Banque, a 10 percent participation, only behind Volkswagen and Fiat banks.[13]
ZESTO
In February 2012, RCI Banque launched the ZESTO savings accounts, which were opened to a general clientele.This internet-based operation was the first of its type to be performed by an automaker's subsidiary in France.[14] The launch was accompanied by a TV commercial from Romain Kunstlinger.[15] The success of this initiative[16] led to other automotive groups operating in the French market, as PSA Peugeot Citroën, to consider launching similar projects.[17] At the end of 2012, RCI Banque announced plans to extend ZESTO to Germany.[16] The German version of ZESTO was launched in 2013 and was called RCI Bank Direkt. In January 2014, ZESTO-Bank Direkt had over 136,000 customers.[18]

2009-The Year in Sports
Steelers' Woodley: Pats, Bengals will 'lay down'
Posted using ShareThis
NFL Football- Week 16 Review
WTF?!
That is what football fans of the Indianapolis Colts are saying after Sunday's asinine decision by Head Coach Jim Caldwell to pull Peyton Manning (pictured left) and the other starting offensive players as well as the defense during the third quarter of a game in which the Colts were leading.
The Jets (8-7) wound up beating the Colts, 29-15 to stop the Colts' undefeated season and keep their own playoff hopes alive. The Colts do own the home-field advantage throughout the AFC Playoffs.
WTF is also what Saints' fans have to be saying following their second consecutive loss at home after a 13-0 start this season. Tampa Bay (3-12) won the game in overtime, 20-17 on a 47-yard field goal by Conner Barth. The Saints blew a 14-0 first quarter lead in the game.
Despite the lackluster effort in the Big Easy, the Saints still have the homefield advantage throughout the NFC Playoffs as a result of the Minnesota Vikings losing their game.
How about those Chicago Bears beating the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football?
Bears' quarterback Jay Cutler threw four touchdown passes, including the game winning 39-yard pass to wide receiver Devin Aromashodu in overtime for the 36-30 win.
The loss dropped the Minnesota Vikings out of the second seed in the NFC Playoffs picture.
The Philadelphia Eagles (11-4) won their sixth consecutive game and are now number two in the NFC after hanging on for a 30-27 win over the fading Denver Broncos, who slipped to 8-7 and now must win and get help in the final game just to make the playoffs.
The Green Bay Packers blasted Seattle, 48-10 to clinch a playoff spot as Aaron Rodgers was efficient and Ryan Grant scored two TDs and Brandon Jackson three TDs (two rushing and one receiving) to pace the attack.
What happened to the New York Giants in their final home game at Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands?
The Carolina Panthers dismantled the Giants, 41-9 to eliminate the pre-season favorites of the NFC to reach Super Bowl 44 behind 206 rushing yards from Jonathon Stewart and three touchdown passes from Matt Moore.
The Dallas Cowboys (10-5) clinched the sixth and final NFC playoff spot Sunday Night with a 17-0 shutout victory at Washington.
The Arizona Cardinals (10-5 and playoff bound) rolled past St. Louis, 31-10 as Kurt Warner threw a pair of touchdown passes and the Cardinals' defense limited the Rams to 238 yard in total offense.
The Pittsburgh Steelers kept their scant chances of another chance at defending their Super Bowl title in tow with a 23-20 nail biter over the visiting Baltimore Ravens.
The Cincinnati Bengals finally clinched the AFC North with a 17-10 win against stubborn Kansas City. The Bengals (10-5) saw QB Carson Palmer hit Chad Ochocinco with a 6-yard scoring pass with two minutes left in regulation for the winning score.
The New England Patriots rode the arm of quarterback Tom Brady (four TD passes, including three of them to Randy Moss) to a 35-7 trouncing of the Jacksonville Jaguars to clinch the AFC East for the seventh time this decade.
The Houston Texans jumped out to a 27-0 lead against the Miami Dolphins and then held on foir a 27-20 win to keep their slim playoff chances alive. Texans' QB Matt Schaub threw two TD passes to offset Miami's second half comeback. The loss eliminated the Dolphins (7-8) unless every other team loses and they beat the Steelers in Miami in the season finale.
The San Diego Chargers (12-3) won their 10th consecutive game and wrapped up the number-two seed in the AFC and a first round bye with a 42-17 win at Tennessee on Christmas Night.
Quarterback Philip Rivers threw two TD passes and LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for two scores and Darren Sproles scored three times for San Diego in the rout, which eliminated the Titans (7-8) from playoff contention.
Other games saw...
Atlanta Falcons blast Buffalo, 31-3 as Falcons' QB Matt Ryan threw three TD passes ... San Francisco 49ers knocked off the visiting Detroit Lions, 20-6 to improve to 7-8... Cleveland (4-11) won its' third game in a row with a 23-9 home victory against the Oakland Raiders as Jerome Harrison rushed for 148 yards and scored a touchdown.

NFL Football- Updated clinching scenarios for Week 16
Updated clinching scenarios for Week 16
NFL Football- Week 16 Previews
The San Diego Chargers and the Tennessee Titans will play on Christmas night in Nashville to get Week 16 started off.
The Titans, after starting the season 0-6, are now 7-7 and have a legitimate shot at a wild card spot if they can defeat the Chargers, who are on a nine game winning streak and are looking to secure the number-two seed and a first round bye in the AFC playoffs.
There are a lot of games with playoff implications, especially in the AFC, where six teams are 7-7 and battling for the two wild card spots still open. The Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos are 8-6 and currently hold the final two spots for the AFC playoffs.
In the NFC, it's a little simpler as the last two spots up for grabs have just three teams going after one another.
The Green Bay Packers (9-5) and Dallas Cowboys (9-5) hold those spots for now but the New York Giants (8-6) are right there and hold the advantage on Dallas after sweeping the two games in '09 against the 'Pokes.
Some of the BIGGER GAMES this weekend...
Baltimore (8-6) at Pittsburgh (7-7)- Hard to believe just a year ago these two teams battled for the AFC Championship and a Super Bowl berth. Now it's a battle just for survival and a chance at the playoffs.
The Steelers defense is a shell of it's former self without the injured Troy Polamalu and the Ravens defense has been found lacking at times this year as well, especially in the secondary.
Houston (7-7) at Miami (7-7)- This game is big for both teams because the loser (especially if it's Houston) goes home for the post-season while the winner takes a step closer to the post-season.
Jacksonville (7-7) at New England (9-5)- The Jaguars face a Patriots team that has been struggling but seems to be getting their edge back as the final two games of the season loom.
The Pats can wrap up the AFC East with a win and the Jags simply MUST WIN or they are history for the '09 playoffs.
Denver (8-6) at Philadelphia (10-4)- The Eagles have won five in a row and can take a huge step to securing a playoff spot with a win as well as the NFC East division title. Once upon a time, the Broncos were 6-0 and Head Coach Josh McDaniels seemed a lock to win Coach of the Year honors... that is not the case now as the Broncos need a win to stay afloat for a playoff spot.
One note of interest in this game sees Denver safety Brian Dawkins returning to Philly to face his former team.
New York Jets (7-7) at Indianapolis (14-0)- The Jets MUST WIN or they are out of it... the Colts are trying to remain unbeaten as they chase history. The Colts have already clinched home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
Dallas (9-5) at Washington (4-10)- The Cowboys need this win against their arch rivals in D.C. as they would take a huge step closer to a possible playoff spot. A loss would do huge damage to Dallas' playoff hopes.
Carolina (6-8) at New York Giants (8-6)- The Giants MUST WIN or else... they will need a ton of help in Week 17 to make the post-season. With some help from Denver and Washington and a win over the Panthers, then the Giants have a legitimate shot at the NFC East title.
Minnesota (11-3) at Chicago (5-9)- The final Monday Night Football game of the season has the Vikings looking to secure a first round bye in the Windy City against a Bears' team that has appeared to have packed it in for the '09 season.
Here are the picks for the upcoming games this weekend. (HOME TEAMS are listed in BOLD)
San Diego over Tennessee
Atlanta over Buffalo
Cincinnati over Kansas City
Cleveland over Oakland
Green Bay over Seattle
New England over Jacksonville
New Orleans over Tampa Bay
NY Giants over Carolina
Philadelphia over Denver
Arizona over St. Louis
San Francisco over Detroit
Indianapolis over NY Jets
Minnesota over Chicago
SEASON RECORD: 145-79
Chargers C Hardwick practices, could play vs. Titans
The Indianapolis Colts now stand alone as the only unbeaten team in the NFL after they beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 35-31 last Thursday night and the Dallas Cowboys knocked off the New Orleans Saints, 24-17 on Saturday night in the Big Easy.
The Saints now stand at 13-1 but still have the top seed in the NFC while Indianapolis is 14-0 (only the third team in NFL history to do this) and has sewn up home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
Dallas' DeMarcus Ware played a week after spraining his neck and had two sacks, including the game ender on Saints QB Drew Brees that forced a fumble which the Pokes recovered to end the game.
Dallas still trails the Philadelphia Eagles because the Eagles (10-4) posted a 27-13 win over the visiting San Francisco 49ers. A huge snow storm dumped up to two feet of snow on the East coast, including Philadelphia. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb ran for a touchdown and also passed for one to pace the attack.
The Arizona Cardinals clinched their second straight NFC West division title by winning a wild game against Detroit, 31-24. Kurt Warner threw two TD passes in the win, including the game winner to Anquan Boldin with 1:54 remaining in the game.
The Baltimore Ravens humiliated the Chicago Bears 31-7 in Baltimore on Sunday afternoon. The Ravens improved to 8-6 with the win and now have the fifth seed in the AFC playoff race with two games left. Joe Flacco passed for 234 yards and four TDs while Bears QB Jay Cutler had just 94 yards through the air and threw three interceptions.
Pittsburgh snapped its five game losing streak with a 37-36 win over the Green Bay Packers, which also snapped the Pack's winning streak at five games.
Ben Roethlisberger passed for 503 yards (a Steelers record) and three TD passes, including a 19-yard TD strike to Mike Wallace as time expired for the thrilling victory, which somehow put the Steelers back in the playoff chase in the AFC at 7-7. There are six teams with 7-7 records in the AFC with two games left in the regular season.
Denver blew a huge chance to take command of the wild card race in the AFC by losing at home to Oakland, 20-19 as JaMarcus Russell came off the bench when Raiders starting QB Charlie Frye was injured, to lead the come back for the Raiders (5-9).
Russell, who was benched three weeks ago by Oakland, hit Chaz Schillens with a ten-yard scoring pass with 35 seconds left in regulation.
Denver was once 6-0 and had a three game lead in the AFC West in mid October, but have gone 2-6 since then and are currently hanging on to the sixth and final playoff spot.
The San Diego Chargers won their ninth consecutive game by beating Cincinnati 27-24 to improve to 11-3 and wrap up their fourth consecutive AFC West division title.
Chargers' kicker Nate Kaeding kicked the game-winning 52-yard field goal with three seconds remaining. This followed Cincinnati tying the game 24-24 on Shayne Graham's 34-yard field goal with 54 seconds left in regulation.
Chargers' QB Philip Rivers (pictured above right), who had 308 yards and three TD passes, including two to Vincent Jackson, drove the Chargers into position for the game winning kick with no timeouts left as San Diego moved the ball to the Cincinnati 34-yard line in four plays.
The Bengals (9-5) still lead the AFC North by one game over Baltimore, whom they swept this season.
Chad Ochocinco scored a touchdown on a pass from Bengals' QB Carson Palmer and knelt in prayer in the end zone as a tribute to Chris Henry, the Bengals' teammate who died last Thursday after a fall from a truck.
New England (9-5) is quietly taking care of business this season as they beat the Buffalo Bills 17-10 to inch closer to another AFC East title. Pats' wideout Randy Moss caught a touchdown pass and was abrupt in his post game comments after taking much heat this past week from the media for what was interpreted as a lack of effort the week before.
The Atlanta Falcons dealt the New York Jets playoff chances a serious blow with a last minute 10-7 win in the Meadowlands. Matt Ryan hit TE Tony Gonzalez with a TD pass with 1:38 to go for the winning score.
The Tennessee Titans are now 7-7 (after starting 0-6) as they topped the Miami Dolphins, 27-24 in OT on Rod Bironas' 46-yard field goal. Miami, also 7-7, stormed back in the second half after trailing 24-6.
Titans' running back Chris Johnson had 104 yards rushing for his ninth consecutive 100-yard rushing game this season.
That was peanuts though, compared to Cleveland's Jerome Harrison, who rushed for a team record 286 yards and scored three TDs. The great Jim Brown previously held the record for rushing yardage in a single game for the Browns.
The Browns won their second game in a row with the 41-34 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Kick returner Josh Cribbs had two kickoff returns for touchdowns for Cleveland (a 100-yard return and a 103-yard return) to give him eight career kick returns for touchdowns, an NFL record.
The Carolina Panthers pulled off perhaps the stunner of the day as they dominated the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football, 26-7 behind three TD passes from backup quarterback Matt Moore.
The Vikings were dominated for the second time in three weeks on national TV on the Sunday night game. Brett Favre was ineffective for the Vikes and Adrian Peterson suffered through another dismal game as well in the loss. The only good news for Minnesota (11-3) is they knew ahead of kickoff they had already clinched the NFC North when Green Bay was defeated by Pittsburgh earlier.
Houston (another 7-7 team in the AFC) struggled on the road against the Rams, but got the win 16-13 as Kris Brown kicked a 28-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
In the yawner game of the day, Seattle lost at home to Tampa Bay (2-12) as Seahawks' quarterback Matt Hasselbeck threw four interceptions to aid the comeback effort by the Bucs in their 24-7 victory.
The Monday Night Football game saw the desperate New York Giants roll into Washington and crush the Redskins, 45-12. The Giants (8-6) trail Dallas, whom they swept this season, by one game in the wild card playoff chase.

Fenay Bridge referee Jeff Jacklin launches book telling of his life on local parks
Now Jeff Jacklin, an NHS professional, who lives in Fenay Bridge and who boasts 40 years in amateur football, has written an entertaining book on the art
Robert Sutcliffe
Refereeing football matches is a thankless task and certainly not for the faint-hearted.
Now Jeff Jacklin, an NHS professional, who lives in Fenay Bridge and who boasts 40 years in amateur football, has written an entertaining book on the art.
And after just one week on the bookshelves, B*****d in Black hit the number 4 spot in Amazon's Top 100 football books.
He says he originally wrote it as an exercise in learning the self-publishing process for a later planned book on the more technical aspects of the game, and so he has been delighted by its success so far.
A number of favourable reviews on the Amazon website has further increased demand for this unexpectedly successful and very different sports book.
As well as West Yorkshire Jeff has refereed in three other counties – Lincolnshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
He has provided stories from all, including The Day I Ref'd In Broadmoor and Escaped To Tell The Tale.
Jeff spent the majority of his refereeing career on the parks and school fields of Huddersfield.
He was the magazine editor for the Huddersfield Referees' Association for four years, which is where a number of the stories from the book were first aired.
Jeff Jacklin's book Bastard in Black which details his experiences refereeing matches across the country. Mr Jacklin is from Fenay Bridge, Huddersfield.
Mainly light-hearted but occasionally dipping into serious mode to reflect on what makes someone put their neck on the line every weekend, and providing some insights as to what such hardened individuals get out of the role.
Jeff said: "If you are a football fan then you will appreciate the sentiments and experiences of the local parks referee.
"If you are an amateur footballer then this will confirm everything you always suspected about those nutters who turn up every week to get slated by arrogant, unfit and ignorant local footballers who are bereft of all soccer skills.
"The book is dedicated to football referees everywhere in the certain knowledge they will not be Man of the Match in their game this weekend."
The book is available only on Amazon in Kindle format priced at �1.86. Jeff has now begun work on his second book which will cover an entirely different subject.
He was secretary of Rowley Hill Club for three years during its recovery from almost going out of business to the thriving outfit it is today.
It will recall the struggles associated with turning it around and is due out in late spring.
