Several kinds of crickets are found in Arizona. Although they pose no immediate health risks (they do not bite or carry disease) they have been known to eat through everything from wallpaper glue to wool to silk. Most importantly, if you are seeing crickets inside your Arizona home then they will be sure to attract hungry spiders and scorpions.
Adult crickets have antennae and are about one inch long. They are easily distinguished from other insects by their large hind legs which are modified for jumping. Depending on the species, their bodies are light brown to black in color. Their front wings vary in length, covering anywhere from half to their entire abdomen and some species may not have wings. Newly h atched crickets look like miniature, winged versions of their parents and feed on the same types of food. After several molts they gain adult characteristics and begin producing the next generation.
Crickets feed on decaying plant material, fungi, and seedling plants. Crickets benefit their surrounding environment by breaking down plant material and renewing soil minerals. They are also an important source of food for other animals like spiders, some wasps, ground beetles, birds, small rodents, and lizards.
Crickets can be considered a nuisance particularly in large numbers because of their "chirping." To attract mates, male crickets produce a chirping noise made by rubbing their front wings against each other. The chirping sound is picked up by the female's ears and can be quite loud. Chirp sounds are specific to different species. Although some people may enjoy this sound, it can become a serious nuisance if it continues for a long period of time or if you are trying to get some sleep.
FUN FACT: The song of the field cricket is temperature dependent. The tone and tempo drop with a drop in temperature. Count the chirps in 13 seconds, add 40, and you will have the approximate temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
Crickets are primarily active at night and spend the days hidden in moist, cool shady spots near ground level. In nature, you can find crickets in leaf litter under rocks and logs in fields, gardens, and along roadsides. Around your home, they prefer to live in voids, like under those decorative boulders in your yard, meter boxes, or under the sidewalk and patio. Crickets love stacked firewood, eroded expansion joints, piles of rock, or other shady cover at ground level. You will likely find crickets around your home's foundation, especially in the gap between the stem wall and the stucco. More than 1,000 crickets can cram into one tiny nest.
There is no single, perfect solution for the control of crickets. By removing places crickets like to hide, you can dramatically reduce the number trying to invade your home. Crickets entering your home are typically looking for food or trying to find more comfortable temperatures. Prevention is the easiest way to manage cricket populations.
Insect-proof your home to prevent these chirping pests from getting inside in the first place, particularly at or near ground level.
Use calking and weather stripping to seal all cracks, gaps, and openings in foundations, siding, windows, doors, screens, and other possible entry points (e.g., around plumbing and electrical connections). Sealing gaps in the foundation wall itself also will stop scorpions and other pests from coming indoors.
Make sure all doors (including screen and garage doors) are closed and tight-fitting.
Keep lights off at night as much as possible. Crickets are attracted to lights. If you light your house at night with strong lamps, you might be luring them toward your house.
Crickets build their nests in tall grasses and other vegetation so remove vegetation and debris that could serve as a hiding place or breeding site. Trim back your plants and keep your lawn mowed.
Eliminate food and water sources. Be sure to put pet food away and keep your kitchen clean.
Encourage the presence of natural predators like cats, lizards, birds, and non-venomous spiders.
A professional pest control company can implement an integrated pest management solution to make nesting sites inhospitable and significantly reduce the number of crickets gaining entry into your home. A trained professional can provide you with preventive treatments on a regular basis and will find the pests before they take over your home. Call your trained Truly Nolen pest removal expert to discuss options for cricket removal at your home.

The Atlas Moth – A Glorified Piece of Blue-Sky Review Interview with Trevor from The Black Dahlia Murder (2009)
Cormorant – Metazoa Review
By Angry Metal Guy On September 19, 2009 · 2 Comments · In 2009, 4.0, American Metal, Avante Garde, Death Metal, Progressive Death, Reviews
Cormorant – Metazoa
Rating: 4.0/5.0 —Great album, and a band with ample room for growth
Label: Saturnine Media
Website: myspace.com/cormorantmusic
Release Date: Sept. 22nd, 2009
Before this last week I'd never heard of Cormorant1 or of Saturnine Media. Because of this, I was able to be pleasantly surprised by what is one of the best underground albums of the year. But if you're reading this, you don't have to be surprised, you can go out and buy it as an informed consumer. You're welcome.
Cormorant is a strong blend of a lot of different styles, but arguably at the base of it all, these guys are a progressive death metal band. That doesn't say much of anything, does it? Think: Opeth meets Primordial, My Dying Bride, Ulver, At The Gates and rocks it out like Iron Maiden. None of these influences are deniable, but none of them are too prevalent in the work that these guys have done. Instead, Metazoa is a smartly blended concoction of progressive metal which doesn't cease to wind, twist and surprise. And with the exception of a moment or two where one thinks they hear a definite influence (or at one point in the track "Hanging Gardens" I'm actually pretty sure I hear a The Black Dahlia Murder riff…..), for the most part these guys are able to blend these influences to craft a vaguely familiar, but new sound.
From a songwriting perspective, this record is great. But I did spend the whole album sort of expecting something a little bit… MORE. Instead, Cormorant offers a lot of headbanging riffs, but they never up the musical ante, so to speak. While the band has progressive structure, they never branch out much technically. I think this is a point of growth for the band, where they could really coin their own sound, in a sense and work to impress. That's not to say that the simplicity and honesty of this music isn't also excellent. Metazoa is well-balanced musically, and I do really appreciate the Iron Maiden style two guitar leads which stuck in your head, without having to listen to That Swedish Guy or a Bruce Dickinson impersonator. The simplicity and the honesty of a lot of this stuff is really impressive, but there is definitely room for growth.
Another thing that stands out for me is that the lyrical breadth and talent that is available on Cormorant's Metazoa: a phenomenon that doesn't show up a lot in metal. Bands like Primordial, for example, have some really excellent lyrics. But even other progressive death bands like Opeth find themselves on the lacking side lyrically. Cormorant on the other hand has a solid lyricist who speaks well poetically and writes on a wide variety of interesting subjects without being cheesy. From the French Revolution to illegal immigration, von Nagel intelligently and artfully crafts images with his words in a way that is highly uncommon in heavy metal. However, some of the clean vocals performances on the record leave a bit to be desired, particularly the clean vocals at the end of "Hole in the Sea" in which someone is doing their best Primordial impression and sounding horrendously off during it. But, all-in-all, the vocal performances are dynamic and good, and they match the lyrics perfectly, making a blend that is rarely seen in modern metal.
If you hadn't noticed, I think that Metazoa is a great record (and a fucking tough one to review). My complaints above were enough to not make this the best record of the year or anything, but I do have to say that I see Cormorant as a band with a ton of room for growth on top of the fact that they're already highly developed. If they can keep their smart, catchy melodies combined with technical music and impressive lyrics and vocal performances (including the female vocals from Deborah Spake, who has a truly captivating voice), I think that these guys are on the road to somewhere special.
Show 1 footnote
Cormorant: "a large diving bird with a long neck, long hooked bill, short legs, and mainly dark plumage. It typically breeds on coastal cliffs, and is noted for its voracious appetite." This voracious appetite has come to be used figuratively implying "an insatiably greedy person or thing." – Thanks OAED ↩

I am not able to see all the in-active plugins for me to set them as Premium.
If I am not mistaken, some plugins will not show in the client's area such as, Admin Ads, Remember Me Checked, Set Password, etc..
I have Google Analytics, Status, Messaging & Friends installed and they are all inactive but only Google Analytics and Status are showing in the Premium plugins area along with WordPress default plugins.
We need to figure out exactly what plugins you are referring to, to be able to determine what you should indeed be able to see in the premium plugin section.
First, all network activated plugins will not show.
Second, all network admin plugins will not show.
Please advise of the list that you believe should be showing that are not any of those mentioned above so I may look into this further.
Anyway, as I have said before, I am still setting things up so I only have few plugins installed as mentioned above.
Please correct me, if I am mistaken.
Thank you for the listing it is greatly appreciated.
All Network Admin plugins above are correct.
Domain Mapping plugin - Network Admin --> option to choose if pro members have access to domain mapping or not - setup in Network Admin --> Settings --> Domain Mapping --> should be Network Activated.
Well this is the only one in question it appears, all the rest are correct.
Both the Friends and Messaging plugins are network activated plugins only and aren't activated on a site by site basis, This is why you aren't seeing them in Premium Plugins. They were developed to work with the Communities plugin and designed to connect users across your entire network.
If you are using our Multisite Analytics ( https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/google-analytics-for-wordpress-mu-sitewide-and-single-blog-solution ) as your Google Analytics solution then you would normally network activate this plugin since you can monitor traffic across your entire network by adding the GA code into Network Admin > Settings > Settings.
Thanks for highlighting how our " Activating and deactivating regular plugins" page shows Activate | Network Activate | Delete. Originally plugins that were network activated used to be placed in the mu-plugins folder. Nowadays there is only a few plugins that you install in mu-plugins folder and the reset go in the plugins folder and are network activated. I'll update our information to discuss this aspect.
As you can see from Sue's response I did not consider the two plugins you were referring to because they are network activate plugins only, and obviously occasionally us support tech's assume too much thinking this was obvious.
The best I can do not being the lead developer is to submit a feature request to make this possible or better yet you can by using the red banner, right bottom corner that states Request a new plugin, theme or service.

Q: TYPO3: How can I use localized content for several languages into the same page? I'm developing a localized Typo3 extension and I've build the repository and models, currently being able to view each language version of the content into its own language id page on the frontend.
I need however to display some of the translated properties(content fields) into a single webpage, but I do not know nor am I able to find on other sources how to handle all the translated content into my templates view or how to assign the variables.
Example:
In my Controller there is:
$test = $this->testRepository->findAll();
$this->view->assign('test', $test);

For which I display the content in my template as:
{test.title}

Now, Typo3 does the work and for EN it displays the english version of 'title', for DE the german version and so on, but all of this on separate pages.
How can I take all of the language versions of 'test.title' and display them into the same page?
Thank you

A: Just an idea, I didn't test it yet.
In your Repository, insert this function:
public function initializeObject() {
    $querySettings = $this->createQuery()->getQuerySettings();
    $querySettings->setRespectSysLanguage(false);
    $querySettings->setLanguageMode('ignore');
    $this->setDefaultQuerySettings($querySettings);
}

If you don't want to ignore the language filtering in your whole extension, just change the query settings only for a single query.
Now you should get all translations at once for your query. Do your own filtering of languages with
$query->matching($query->equals('sysLanguageUid', 1));

Don't forget to define sysLanguageUid with getter and setter functions in your model.

Review: The Affair of the Porcelain Dog by Jess Faraday
Title: The Affair of the Porcelain Dog
Series: The Ira Adler Series: Book One
Author: Jess Faraday
Publisher: Bold Strokes Books
Category: Historical, Mystery
At a Glance: Sometimes happy endings are so evident they're impossible to miss. Sometimes happy endings are so subjective that one hesitates even to call them happy. Sometimes the beauty of an ending, happy or otherwise, is in the eye of the beholder. The Affair of the Porcelain Dog is a wonderful debut novel.
Reviewed By: Lisa
Blurb: London 1889.
For Ira Adler, former rent-boy and present plaything of crime lord Cain Goddard, stealing back the statue from Goddard's blackmailer should have been a doddle. But inside the statue is evidence that could put Goddard away for a long time under the sodomy laws, and everyone's after it, including Ira's bitter ex, Dr. Timothy Lazarus. No sooner does Ira have the porcelain dog in his hot little hands, than he loses it to a nimble-fingered prostitute.
As Ira's search for the dog drags him back to the mean East End streets where he grew up, he discovers secrets about his own past, and about Goddard's present business dealings, which make him question everything he thought he knew. An old friend turns up dead, and an old enemy proves himself a friend. Goddard is pressing Ira for a commitment, but every new discovery casts doubt on whether Ira can, in good conscience, remain with him.
In the end, Ira must choose between his hard-won life of luxury and standing against a grievous wrong.
Review: Drug trafficking, human trafficking, blackmail, betrayal, duplicity, moral ambiguity, prostitution, and murder: all things you might expect to find in the Whitechapel district around the time Jack the Ripper took the life of his final victim, Mary Kelly, then seemed to disappear from the face of the earth. They're also things that take place within the pages of The Affair of the Porcelain Dog, the wonderful debut novel by Jess Faraday.
Cain Goddard saved Ira Adler from the streets of 'Chapel, where Ira had been selling his body in order to survive. Goddard is the Henry Higgins to Ira's Eliza in this story, as Cain brings Ira into his home and teaches the young man to read, write, and speak like a proper gentleman, hiring Ira as his "personal secretary", though their relationship is far from the socially acceptable front they're forced to portray to a world where anything more could find them both imprisoned (or worse) for gross indecency.
Cain Goddard lives a dual existence as both a rogue and a scholar, once an esteemed teacher at Cambridge University, but sent down in a scandal for which he's now being blackmailed. Since Goddard is unable to fulfill the one passion, he immerses himself fully in the other role, becoming the infamous Duke of Dorset Street, a hated and feared criminal whose questionable ethics and rationalizations make him a fully intriguing character, and a man with whom Ira struggles and, ultimately, fails to delineate his own moral boundaries. When one allies himself with the criminal element, one has to expect that those alliances will be dubious, and that's a lesson both men learn.
Mystery and suspense are de rigueur in this race to acquire a statue which is the key to thwarting a blackmailer, but the race turns deadly when Ira discovers that innocent children are being trafficked and that the man he realizes he's come to love is a party to discounting the moral implications of it. It's then that Ira realizes he may not be able to change the world, but he certainly can try to protect the future, one child at a time.
Sometimes happy endings are so evident they're impossible to miss. Sometimes happy endings are so subjective that one hesitates even to call them happy. Sometimes the beauty of an ending, happy or otherwise, is in the eye of the beholder. The Affair of the Porcelain Dog is so much less than a happily ever after and so much more than just a simple ending. Other than one small personal niggle near the end that felt a little bit too God-in-the-machine for me to find entirely plausible, this book was just about as perfect as it could be.

There are few words which resonate as much 30 years later as this seemingly innocent couple; poll tax.
It may have been April Fools Day, but when the Conservative government - led by Margaret Thatcher - introduced the now infamous tax, Scotland wasn't going to be taken for a fool.
It started and ended in a bitter fight with the formation of the All Britain Anti Poll Tax Federation, or The Feds as they became to be known.
In fact, Tommy Sheridan was a key figure in the movement and would go on to be the first Briton jailed over the tax.
The poll tax was introduced to replace domestic rates. It provided for a single flat-rate tax on every adult, at a rate set by the local authority.
And from April 1, 1989 the people of Scotland, and in particular Glasgow and the west, fought long and hard to have the hated tax abolished.
It was introduced in Scotland one full year before England and Wales, which led to Scotland being referred to as Thatcher's guinea pig. We weren't the only ones kicking off, however - on the eve of the introduction south of the border, on March 31 1990, mass demonstrations and riots broke out.
But back in Glasgow in 1989, some 50,000 people from all sections of the working class and from across Scotland marched in the city centre.
Glasgow's protest passed peacefully but later in London it was a different story - there, more than 300 people were arrested and 113 people, including police officers, were injured.
By the end of 1990, one million Scots had refused to pay their poll tax.
It was considered to be the downfall of Margaret Thatcher as she would later resign.
However, it wasn't until 1993 when John Major took office that the tax was abolished and replaced by council tax.
The late 80s are remembered as a tough time even to this day, but it was a fight Scotland won - and in 2014, then First Minister Alex Salmond announced plans to stop councils collecting poll tax debt, stating: "All poll tax debt would be written off".

McGREGOR'S SCOTLAND RETURN DELAYED BY INJURY
Allan McGregor's return to international football has been delayed because of an injury picked up during an incident in Glasgow on Saturday.
The Rangers goalkeeper had been named in Craig Levein's first squad as manager, but he has now withdrawn and will play no part in the friendly against Czech Republic next week.
The timing of the injury couldn't have been worse for the 28-year-old as he was set to make his first international appearance since being dropped last April for disciplinary reasons.
Speaking about McGregor's set back, Levein said he received a phone call from Rangers boss Walter Smith "explaining what had happened" and that the player was a doubt for his club's game next weekend.
Although McGregor's absence is unlikely to damage Ranger's SPL chances, it could hit his hopes of making an international comeback.
Looking ahead, Levein said that "once this game is out of the way" McGregor "will be considered" for the next match. This is progress for the keeper, especially when you consider that Barry Ferguson – who was axed at the same time as McGregor – was not considered for selection this time around.
Elsewhere in the Scotland squad, Rangers duo Kris Boyd and Lee McCulloch have both been recalled, while midfielder Stephen McManus and striker Ross McCormack have been dropped.
Referring to how he felt about his first squad as manager, Levein added that he is "pleased everybody seems positive about the future" and that there are potentially "hundreds" of players out there who can help improve the team's chances of success.
McGregor will clearly be one of them in time as he looks to rebuild his Scotland career, but he is being forced to sit it out this time around.
The friendly with the Czech Republic will be a dress rehearsal for the sides' Euro 2012 qualifying games.
However, Scotland's Euro 2012 odds suggest they will struggle to make it out of a group which also contains Spain, Lithuania and Lichtenstein.

Brand equity seems to have come to Indian cinema. What else would you call a film that is titled Sholay and is being made by the production house which made the earlier blockbuster?
But the similarities end there. Sippy Films's sequel to Sholay -- which begins with a talent search next year -- would otherwise be a different film in every aspect, right from the director to the technicians.
Sholay, made 25 years ago, had a string of firsts to its credit: the first to be released on 70mm screen, audio cassettes with dialogues, highest number of prints. The film continues to have over 110 prints in circulation even today.
Sippy Films now wants to recreate the magic. G P Sippy, the patriarch of the family, has turned to his grandsons to give shape to his dream. The makers of the new Sholay claim to have approached Javed Akhtar -- who, along with Salim Khan, had scripted the earlier one -- and Ramesh Sippy, son of G P Sippy and director of the landmark film.
According to them, both the director and scriptwriter turned down the offer. Ramesh Sippy has reportedly told Sascha Sippy, his nephew and CEO of Sippy Films, that he made his Sholay 25 years back and that he didn't want to make another.
When contacted by rediff.com, Ramesh Sippy refused to comment on the matter. "I have not spoken to the media about this before and I don't intend to speak later. I will only say no comments on Sholay." We told him about Sascha Sippy's remarks, that they had approached him first. All he said was that was not the the case.
According to Javed Akhtar, nobody could recreate the magic of Sholay. "Imitating a success doesn't mean you can create success again," he said.
Several people who worked in the earlier film have since passed away. The Salim-Javed team itself split several years back. "The characters of Gabbar Singh, Thakur and Jay are immortal. The actors who played the first two characters (Amjad Khan and Sanjeev Kumar respectively) are no longer alive while Jay was killed in the film. So how can one recreate them?" asked Javed.
He added that the actors who are alive are too old to act in the new film. When reminded that this particular film would have a new star cast, he quipped, "God bless them. I know I don't want to be involved in this project at all."
Amidst all the controversies and pessimism, Sascha Sippy is one person confident of pulling it off. "I know Javedsaab has been going around town saying that nobody can make another Sholay, but that must be because he is not involved. This doesn't make me insecure at all. In fact, it drives me to work harder and make this film a success."
At the moment, Sippy Films only has the story. They are planning an international talent search between January and March. The shooting will begin around the end of 2000. Sippy Films, headed by the young Sascha, is gearing up for the big event which is going to be a two-year project.
Sascha Sippy in conversation with Sharmila Taliculam.
Could you elaborate on the talent search you have planned?
The way we are deciding the cast is very interesting. We would perhaps cast some of the old stars and a couple of current superstars. But the important roles will be decided through the talent search. Now why a talent search? Sippy films, for the last 50 years, has introduced the biggest and the best names in the industry. We are very proud to say that we have launched one new talent in every decade. We believe in identifying talent and bringing new blood into the industry. The best example of this is the chief executive officer of Sippy Films, that is me, who is 28 years old.
The next in command is a 21 year old. This is my second film, first as a producer. My cousin Shaan and my grandfather will also be the producers. We have been entrusted with the responsibility because we have got the ideas and the ability.
Is the story already in place?
The story is G P Sippy's -- he has been working on it for the past two years. He sat with me two years ago and said, 'Listen, 25 years back, I sat down with my sons and told them that we had a story idea -- Salim-Javed had written it and it was about war.' It was my grandfather who had come up with the name Sholay.
Everybody was against the name because B R Chopra had made a film called Shole which was distributed by Sippy Films. It was a big flop -- they had paid Rs 1 lakh and lost Rs 2 lakh. But my grandfather told them, 'We have got the story idea and we are going to make the biggest and the best movie. We are going to give it our all, we are going to put everything into it. Do you have the confidence?' And all of them had said yes.
My grandfather said the same things to me two years ago. Now tell me -- is anybody going to say no to that? His story is definitely in place. And at this point, it's only a story. It is not a screenplay or a script. It will be developed within the next year once the winners of the talent search have been announced. The search is not only for acting roles, but also for technical roles. If you have a dialogue to send, send it in and if you win, you'll get credit as an associate dialogue writer.
From there, the sky's the limit. I am proud to say that 98 per cent of the talent that has come out of Sippy Films have been very successful. There are only a couple of people who have not been so -- one is Sanjay Gupta and the other, Atul Agnihotri. Atul is a good actor, but luck hasn't been on his side.
Feroz Khan's first job in the industry was as G P Sippy's secretary. Way back, he used to get Rs 500 a month.
So, the whole idea of the search is to get new people in?
Sholay would not have been such a success but for the people who went again and again to watch it. Of course, the unit made its own contribution, but that is one part of the achievement. We, at Sippy Films, put everything together.
We are telling everybody under the sun to come and apply, we want to give everybody an opportunity. And it's a damn good opportunity. It's the last thing my grandfather wants to do. I happen to agree with him and that's why I am sitting here as a CEO and guiding this project.
That's why I've put the last two years of my life into it. It's a huge challenge and responsibility, but it's going to be very interesting and exciting. It's also going to be fun to see it unravel. I am dying to get to the office every morning. Even at home I am working all the time because this project involves America, England and various different countries.
How has the response to this announcement been?
The response so far has been phenomenal. Everybody, except a couple of people, has been so encouraging. But then everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. The more people doubt your abilities, the more challenging it becomes for me. The stakes go up. It's serious fun.
You realise the hype this film would generate, the expectations people will have from you?
Yes, I do realise the high expectations we have to meet. However, what everybody must also realise is that we are not making Sholay again. We are making another movie 25 years later. The social and cultural fabric of India has changed vastly.
Sholay was so successful because it touched our hearts and minds. It portrayed different kinds of relationships in a beautiful way. Every conceivable emotion was there. Fear, love, passion, anxiety, you name it. The characters were so real that people actually believed that this group of bandits existed around the area of Ramgarh, which is now called Sippy Nagar.
What kind of work are you putting into it?
In Sholay, there was unquestionable dedication from Ramesh Sippy, Hema Malini, Dharmendra, the entire unit. That is what we will recreate again. The platform that Sholay II is being given is the same as the former. The same inputs are going into it, the same details, if not more. We are working closely with the textiles companies to manufacture and design new clothes for the film. It's not a game for us, it's very serious.
Yet, we are making a completely different film. You are not going to see another Gabbar Singh. You cannot. China Gate proved that. Can you make another Zeus, another Krishna? I am not equating Gabbar Singh with God, but in terms of legend, he is one, and you can't duplicate a legend.
Are you sure of making it a success when the trend is no longer for action films?
I don't think that today's trend is only towards love stories. Look at Vaastav, it's the only film that is running today. Hum Saath-Saath Hain is not doing well. The collections were down in the second week itself. I don't believe that the era of action films is gone. Then how could Satya have done such phenomenal business?
I have learnt the hard way. I produced Hamesha with Kajol and Saif Ali Khan. Nobody went to see either of them even though Kajol was number one at that time. So what made Satya click? It's the script. Taal had good production values, but it did not do as well as it should have in India. Titanic ran for 25 weeks in English and Hindi simultaneously. People went to see a blonde guy and a red-haired girl. It was the story that was important.
Sholay was inspired by a Western story? What about this film? Is there a western inspiration here as well?
I cannot comment on the storyline of Sholay because I was a child then. Some parts may have been inspired by Seven Samurai. I haven't seen Seven Samurai, you will get the right feedback from Salim-Javed or Ramesh Sippy. When I look at Sholay today, I feel it's the most Indian film. Every relationship is portrayed in a very Indian manner. How can there be Western ideas? I don't see the connection. I haven't seen a western love story portrayed the way Jaya-Amitabh's was done in Sholay. I am not denying the inspiration, but I really cannot see it.
When you say there will be an international search, does that mean the story will be set in modern day?
The talent search is not to look for Europeans or Americans, but Indians. Yeah, Sholay was set in 1975 and Sholay II would be set today. It's a film for today, not 25 years back.
What are your memories of Sholay?
My memories of Sholay are fabulous. We shot quite a bit in Khandala. Just being there on the sets with Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Jaya Bachchan was thrilling. I remember, we children used to go to the stars with our autograph books and ask them to sign on it. I being a brat, I would make them sign six or eight times.
The most memorable experience was the premier of the film when I almost lost my life. I was jumping up and down in the theatre and leaning to look down. The next thing I knew I was holding on to the railing with my legs dangling in air. I had toppled over the railing. The production manager Suresh Desai grabbed on time and pulled me back.
Who among the old-timers are being retained in the film?
I won't say who are the old people I am retaining in the film. But Ramesh Sippy won't be directing it, nor Salim-Javed writing it. Ramesh Sippy doesn't want to direct Sholay because he feels he has already done it once.
He was the hottest young director then. That's why a Rs two-and-a-half crore project was entrusted to him. He had his finger on the pulse. I am not saying that he doesn't have it today. He is one of the most talented directors even today. He is my uncle and I love and respect him. He is extremely capable, but does he want to do it? Would he think he would be harming his own reputation? Would he want to take the risk? I don't think he would, because what people should realise is that this is 25 years later. It's a different movie. Obviously it's related to the first in some ways -- which I won't disclose now -- but still, it's a different film.
When will this sequel be released?
It ought to be out by September 2001. We will announce the winners of the star search by the end of August 2000. Then we go on a 'Sholay world tour' for two months and come back in November. I will give everyone some time to get back to their routine and relax before I start shooting. The entire project will take two years. The first Sholay was shot in a very short span. To me, that is the key.
How did you expect people to react when you announced this film?
Honestly speaking, I expected everyone to say that I wouldn't be able to do it. But I was determined and made the announcement knowing it was going to be an uphill task. But it hasn't been that difficult at all. Everybody has responded so well, it is so encouraging. Ninety per cent of the people are really thrilled.
Did you ask Javed Akhtar to write the script?
We had mentioned it to him, but he didn't say anything then. I like to work with people I can talk to and relate to. I adore Javedsaab and respect him tremendously, and it's a pity that I won't be working with him on this. But I always look at the positive side -- and in this case, the positive aspect is that I am going to get a completely fresh perspective.
The story is in place, it has to be fleshed into a script. When Javedsaab says these things (that there could not be another Sholay), it is not discouraging at all. It is even more encouraging. I agree when he says that you cannot remake Sholay. But people don't understand that we are not remaking it. It's a different film. I know I keep harping on this, but that is what it is. Obviously I can't say much else now.

HC: Provisions of senior citizens Act can't be invoked retrospectively
The provisions of section 23(1) of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 deal with only those transactions which are made by senior citizens after commencement of the Act, the high court has said.
Bengaluru: The provisions of section 23(1) of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 deal with only those transactions which are made by senior citizens after commencement of the Act, the high court has said.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj and Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum made this observation while dismissing a writ appeal filed by C Kamalamma, a resident of Tumakuru."The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 was brought into force in 2007. The words incorporated under section 23 clearly indicate that the application under the section is prospective in nature," the bench said.
The bench pointed out that appellant Kamalamma had gifted her property under a registered deed dated August 22, 2005 to daughter L Nagalakshmi much before commencement of the Act and therefore, all transactions which are pre-enactment are saved. Therefore, assistant commissioner, Tumakuru, had no authority to entertain the petition filed by Kamalamma.
The court said even otherwise, it was of the view that the appellant cannot pursue two parallel remedies on the same cause of action as she had already approached the competent civil court seeking relief of declaration and challenged the registered gift deed and also consequent sale deed executed by her daughter.
The assistant commissioner, Tumakuru, had originally set aside the gift deed dated August 22, 2005 and the sale deed executed by Nagalakshmi on August 26, 2014, in favour of T Gopal, while exercising power under the Act, based on Kamalamma's application.
Gopal, a resident of Bengaluru, who had purchased the property, then filed a writ petition. He contended that in his absence, the assistant commissioner could not have given that order and the deputy commissioner wrongly rejected his appeal, though he was not made a party before the assistant commissioner.
The writ petition was disposed of by the single bench and a request was made to the civil court to decide within six months the suit filed by Kamalamma. She then challenged the October 5, 2021 order of the single bench, wherein the July 15, 2015 order passed by the assistant commissioner and the July 21, 2016 confirmation order passed by the DC were set aside.

Joe Rogan Slams "Heath Expert" Bill Gates for Being Out of Shape
The world's largest podcaster, Joe Rogan, criticized Bill Gates for buying up farmland in the US, saying that he did not trust how someone that was in such poor shape could give health advise, as he has done with COVID.
Rogan discussed the matter with Diana Rogers, author and nutritionist, as well as Rob Wold, who is a biochemist.
Shots fired, Joe Rogan went in on Bill Gates 😳 pic.twitter.com/UQCXSixTLY
— George (@BehizyTweets) February 25, 2022
Rogan quoted Gates, who told MIT that he believed that all rich countries should switch to 100 percent synthetic beef, rather than eating living animals.
"You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they're going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand," Gates said.
Rogan critiqued Gates. "He keeps saying that we've got to eat less meat, and we've got to cut our consumption of meat out to be healthy, and we're gonna get used to these meat alternatives," he said.
"When a guy like that says that, I'm like, 'Are you making money because of this? Like, why are you saying that?'" Rogan continued.
"If you are eating those plant-based burgers or whatever you're doing, you're obese… A guy like that telling people about — he's got these breasts, and this gut, and I'm like, this is crazy. You're one of the richest guys on earth. You have access to the best nutrients … you could have an amazing trainer. You could be in phenomenal shape, and you're giving out public health advice … and you're sick."
"It's literally like a non-athlete trying to coach professionals," he said. "How are you giving any health advice when you look like that? Your health is piss poor."
Ron DeSantis Rejects Biden's Request for Florida National Guard at SOTU


Well, I successfully survived yesterday. My sons were unusually well behaved while our counsellor was here at our house. Olivia cried almost the entire time though. I spent most of the appointment walking and rocking and bouncing her. The counsellor focused mainly on my dear husband and even gave him some homework. I use the term "homework" loosely since he is supposed to go and get a professional massage, spend some time doing physical activity (which he loves to do), and spend time with his mentor. Rough eh? My only hope is that next appointment will be my turn and he will tell me I'm supposed to go and get a professional massage as homework. I could really use a massage.
I have started the process of pumping enough milk to feed Olivia for the two days when I take my thyroid test. I am finding it hard. Hard physically to get enough milk pumped. Hard emotionally because I don't really want to do it. All around hard. But I realized that I need to trust God for this too. He is more than able to keep Olivia from getting overly confused and refusing to go back to breastfeeding. I am praying it will all go smoothly and there will be no problems. I know, intellectually, that worry is useless and against God's plan for me but I am sure finding it hard to let it go.
I remember a professor of mine at Capernwray Bible school saying once that when we worry we are essentially telling God that we don't trust Him to do what is best for us in our lives. And so today I will focus on trusting that God does in fact know what He is doing and cares about me and my family - even something as small as breastfeeding issues.

(W) Richard Pini, Wendy Pini (A/CA) Wendy Pini The term 'line of beauty' describes, in one sense, a certain way of arranging lines and shapes in a drawing or painting to suggest motion, dynamic balance and grace. But in a deeper sense it can also speak to the visionary spirit that drives the creation of a piece of artwork. Whatever that spirit is, Wendy Pini demonstrates that she has had it from the moment she was delivered into this world. This book provides a comprehensive look at rare material from Wendy's two Beauty and the Beast graphic novels, her Galaxy and If magazine covers and interior art, and preproduction art from the animated The Lord of the Rings film. It highlights ambitious projects such as Masque of the Red Death and Law and Chaos, includes exquisite art from the Land of Myth series of prints, and much more. Cover price $50.00.

When it comes to jewelry, it is practically impossible to overload on information. Even the tiniest misstep could be the end of your jewelry – and your money. Here are some great pieces of advice to assist you. These tips can help you select and maintain jewelry pieces, while avoiding some of the common pitfalls.
For example, you should never use bleach, turpentine, or ammonia on your jewelry. Harsh chemicals can destroy the enamel, and ruin the stones in your jewelry.
TIP! Make sure you check into insurance policies when you make a jewelry purchase from a jeweler. Many stores offer a policy where you can bring broken or damaged jewelry back to the original jeweler for repair at little to no cost.
When purchasing sterling silver, take along a good magnifying glass, along with a small magnet. Magnets attract non-precious metals, and you can use this fact to detect fakes. You can identify sterling silver by its markings, for example "sterling," "ster," or ".925." Be wary of pieces that lack any silver hallmarks, as this is an indication that they're not genuine sterling silver.
Be sure to pay attention to details like type of metal and shape. This is a great place to start when picking out that special item.
Before you buy a new piece of jewelry, look at what the current trends are. It is better to get a gorgeous bauble on sale!
Keep your jewelry from getting tarnished to preserve its best appearance. Avoid wearing your jewelry near water. This could cause your jewelery to rust or become more dull. For added protection for your jewelry, try adding a thin coating of clear nail polish.
It's a simple way to turn a plain belt into something more eye catching. Place the broach in the middle of your waist for the best effect.
Apply your makeup before putting on your jewelry. The grime and dust in makeup are attracted to the jewelry, and if you put on the jewelry before the cosmetics, it can cause the pieces to look dull. This is especially true when earrings and necklaces are concerned.
TIP! It is important to think about the most effective methods of jewelry care. Every metal, setting, and stone has different requirements when it comes to care.
A small but well-cut diamond with high clarity can look nicer than a bigger diamond of lower quality. Most important of all, make sure that the piece you choose complements the nature of the intended receiver.
Use attractive robe hooks to hang your necklaces, keeping them tangle-free. Install a series of hooks on a piece of furniture, a door or a wall and arrange your necklaces artfully. This will keep them untangled, and it looks nice as well.
TIP! You need to pay special attention when caring for costume jewelry. Costume jewelry is generally bound by glue rather than settings and is therefore, a lot more fragile.
When you set out to buy jewelry, buy a piece because you love it, not because of who makes it. Most people will not really know where you discovered the piece. Sellers try to get you to buy brand name jewelry just because it is more expensive. There are excellent quality jewelry pieces from various brands.

New Snowden docs show how US cooperates with allies in drone killings
June 26, 2015 by Infinite
– New Snowden docs show how US cooperates with allies in drone killings (RT, June 26, 2015):
New Edward Snowden leaks shed light on the details of US drone strikes in places like Yemen and Pakistan and the tracking technologies that helped them. They focus on a strike targeting an Al-Qaeda surgeon that resulted in civilian casualties.
The documents reviewed by the New York Times and the Guardian deal with the March 30, 2012 attack aimed at killing Dr. Khadim Usamah. The GCHQ newsletter, Comet News, described Usamah as a member of the Yemen-based Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and "the doctor who the doctor who pioneered using surgically planted explosives."
According to the database of drone strikes maintained by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, the attack reportedly killed five AQAP militants and one civilian – Mohamed Saleh al-Suna, 60 – while injuring nine civilians, including six children.
The documents also discuss how the strike was a product of the joint program between the US, British and Australian intelligence agencies. The Guardian described the program, codenamed "Overhead," as operation based on "satellite, radio and some phone collection of intelligence."
At the urging of the NSA, Yemen became a priority for the surveillance agencies involved in Overhead in 2010, following the failed 2009 "underwear bombing." AQAP claimed responsibility for the Christmas Day incident, when Nigerian national Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab attempted to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear on board a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. Instead of detonating, the bomb ignited and singed Abdulmutallab, who was then overpowered by the passengers and crew of the airplane.
It was the second spectacular failure for AQAP's chief bomb-maker, Ibrahim al-Asiri. Earlier that year, he reportedly planted a bomb in his younger brother Abdullah's rectum, with the intent to assassinate Saudi Arabia's counter-terrorism chief, Mohammed bin Nayef. Abdullah died in the explosion, but Bin Nayef was unharmed.
Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Syria. How drones and remote warfare is dragging the UK into more and more armed conflicts: http://t.co/MSni7B3qyo
— Drone Wars (@Drone_Wars_UK) June 25, 2015
The 2012 drone strike was the result of US and UK spy agencies concerns that al-Asiri might develop a successful bomb, which Dr. Usamah could then implant into a suicide bomber, bypassing standard airport security measures.
Even before the pivot to Yemen, GCHQ was eager to provide "tactical and strategic SIGINT support to military operations in-theatre, notably Iraq and Afghanistan, but increasingly Pakistan," reported the Guardian citing a June 2009 document. SIGINT is a common acronym for "signals intelligence," referring to intercepted communications. The document adds that in Pakistan, "new requirements are yet to be confirmed, but are both imminent and high priority."
During 2009, President Obama's first year in office, Pakistan saw more US more drone strikes than in the preceding four years under President George W. Bush.
The revelations have raised questions in the UK about the country's involvement in undeclared US wars in Yemen, Pakistan and elsewhere.
While officials insist the government broke no laws, the British public is very much opposed to drone warfare. According to a 2014 Pew Research Center poll, 59 percent of Britons opposed the drone strikes, while only 33 percent approved.
While polls show over 50 percent of Americans support drone warfare, 45 US military veterans recently called on drone operators to stand down and stop the killing missions.
"At least 6,000 lives have been unjustly taken by US drone attacks in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, the Philippines, Libya and Syria. These attacks are also undermining principles of international law and human rights," the 45 veterans wrote last week.
Navy veteran Nick Mottern explained to Air Force Times why he believed that a drone pilot might hang up the controller. "One answer would be, 'To save your soul'," he said. "Another answer would be, 'To not kill people who are being targeted without any due process.' There are higher laws than military law."

Bob Dylan, Hop Farm Festival
Sounding not unlike Dr Who's Davros, the Oracle becomes the Entertainer
by Nigel WilliamsonMonday, 02 July 2012
His Bobness in action at Hop FarmImelda Michalczyk
Bob Dylan once described himself as ''just a song and dance man''. If the phrase was intended to debunk our veneration of him as the voice of a generation and to imply that he's just an old-fashioned entertainer in the great showbiz tradition, devotees have never believed him and have carried on seeking clues to the meaning of life in his work, campaigning for him to win the Nobel Prize for Literature and generally treating his every utterance as if he's the Oracle.
Yet at the Hop Farm deep in rural Kent on a cool, moonlit Saturday night, the serious artist was finally transformed into song and dance huckster, the itinerant storyteller at the fair on his Never Ending Tour, eager to entertain the crowd with a wicked grin and a wave of his arms, clasping his chest dramatically to emphasise a lyric, full of wit and acting out the stories he's telling. This was show-time and the effect is almost vaudeville.
In early years Dylan hid behind his guitar and harmonica brace. In more recent times, he has tended to stand modestly side of stage while stabbing at his Korg keyboard. Yet here he was centre stage with nothing but the microphone to shield him from us, striking his theatrical poses and ad-libbing the lyrics to "Things Have Changed", the song he wrote for the film The Wonder Boys.
He makes little attempt to sing in any conventional sense, but opts for a sound not unlike Dr Who's arch-enemy, Davros
Dressed in dark suit and wide-brimmed grey hat and backed by a five piece besuited band, Dylan's interpretation of a song and dance man didn't extend to anything as crude as a ''Hello Hop Farm!'' or ''Good night, Paddock Wood!''. The only time he spoke directly to the crowd was to introduce the band during "All Along the Watchtower". But this was Dylan as we have rarely seen on stage, eagerly hamming it up as he stood legs akimbo, chest puffed out and arms outstretched while he intoned the terrible tale of "Hollis Brown", a song that he wrote a long time ago about a different world.
The 16-song set drew more or less equally from both ends of his long career, ranging from a 50th anniversary version of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall", written during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis and partly delivered in waltz time, to the frolicing rockabilly of "Thunder on the Mountain" from 2006's Modern Times.
There was nothing from his most recent set of songs, 2009's Together Through Life, or from the new studio album due this autumn. But 1960s classics "Ballad Of A Thin Man"," It's All Over Now Baby Blue", "Highway 61 Revisited" and an elegiac, shimmering "Like A Rolling Stone" were balanced with seven songs from the mature late ripeness which began with 1997's Time Out Of Mind. Oddly, there was a gap of 30 years in the middle which was represented only by 1975's "Tangled Up In Blue".
Most of the time he made little attempt to sing in any conventional sense, but opted for a declamatory style that made him sound not unlike Dr Who's arch-enemy, Davros. It's not very musical but it's a terrific story-telling voice, rich in showmanship. Nor did he deliver every song from centre stage. With the once ever-present keyboard relegated to just one number (the opener "Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat"), the second surprise of the evening was the presence of a grand piano, which he sat behind for around half of the songs, even essaying an impressive, jazzy solo on "Love Sick".
''You think I'm over the hill, think I'm past my prime,'' he croaked on the jaunty "Spirit on the Water", flashing another sly grin from behind his grand piano. He might be a septuagenarian; but on this showing Dylan is far from done with us and we're not finished with him. Early reports suggests that the new album is a stunner.

Sadly, I am on a pre-arranged holiday in Devon and missed Dylan at my "home" venue. But I am really heartened, if also regretful, that he was in such fine form at Beltring. I can't wait for either the next album or his next trip to the UK. Clearly, not dark yet.

Dylan out in the middle of the stage, giving us guitar, harp, piano, organ and smiles, was a revelation. He is so uncontrived these days to the point of quasi-goofiness. He has nothing to prove (no alibi ahem) and so much to give. To all us followers, each of whom thinks they are special interpreters of his prophecy, he gives us the world. I thought that version of Hard Rain was superlative, loved Spirit on the Water, and the echoey thing he did with Ballad of a Thin Man - with two mikes was great and it was all so original. Still buzzing 4 days later - and the whole band exudes confident, walking pace musicianship. Brilliant.

Q: Bug in integrate MySQL function JSON_SEARCH how i use MySQL function JSON_SEARCH on all values, not only on strings?
All this bug is documented on MySQL emulator: https://www.db-fiddle.com/f/2UdrxqrQ3DeonbKWw3pVVp/0
I have DDL:
CREATE TABLE table_name (
    id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    json_config JSON,
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

INSERT INTO table_name (id,json_config)
VALUES
  (NULL, '{
    "_id": "60111111111111175b78fe2fa",
    "intestx": 0,
    "codes": [
        48348,
        28923,
        39080
   ],
   "test": 562222222222456
   }');

Query #1:
SELECT
    JSON_SEARCH(json_config, 'all', '%1111%')
FROM table_name;

Result #1:
"$._id" #this is OK

Query #2:
SELECT
    JSON_SEARCH(json_config, 'all', '%2222%')
FROM table_name;

Result #2:
null # this is bad BUG, because is exist match with $.test

Thank you for your advice on how to search over all values, not only on the string, but also over numbers, etc.
EDIT: I found this bug report on MySQL bugzilla since 2015, but this bug has not been resolved, only update on documentation about function search only on strings... :-D https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=79233
MySQL probably can't search correctly, only over strings. So I probably can't solve it via SQL (view), but I have to solve it by complex programming of my own logic in the form of PHP + SQL (table)...
I'm not happy about that at all. If you knew any handy PHP component that could do this. By that I mean parse JSON to key, value combinations to create all combinations of list of variables.

A: The bug is only in MySQL. I installed MariaDB and it works properly for me there. So I will use MariaDB and that solves it for me.
EDIT: I cannot make solved flat to own answear... :-) But this is solved for me.


Hope is not one of my stronger virtues.
I'm a pessimist, you see. Added to my perfectionism, it can be rather paralyzing at times.
As everyone knows, pessimists enjoy being pessimists because we are constantly in a win-win situation. We suspect the worst will happen in any given situation. If the worst happens, we have the satisfaction of being right. If it doesn't, we have the joy of having things turn out well. Hedging our bets we live in the safe and cozy, though shallow and dim, world of doubt.
Almost three weeks ago I planted 72 green bean seeds. I know, because I counted them. The package said they should germinate within 5-14 days.
On day 2 I began declaring, "They'll never come up. I'm a failure as a gardener." I repeated this melancholic mutter each day as I went out to check their (lack of) progress.
My husband, the eternal optimist, would cheerfully and consistently respond, "Just wait, you'll see. They'll be fine."
Unconvinced, I would pout and shake my head, "I have a black thumb."
This morning, after 21 days of waiting, I went out and counted 71 beautiful spring green bean sprouts.
But I've deprived myself the joy of hope these last three weeks. Yes, I am happy now that they are up, but I wasted three weeks' opportunity for hope, trust, peace, patience, and joy... and we're only talking about green beans!
It has made me seriously reflect: is being a pessimist really a win-win?
(beans don't come up) three weeks hope + 1 day sadness = 21 days happiness.
(beans come up) three weeks hope + 1 day happiness = 22 days happiness.
(beans don't come up) three weeks doubt + 1 day vindication = 1 day bitter joy.
(beans come up) three weeks doubt + 1 day surprise joy = 1 day surprise joy.
I'm no math major, but there appears to be a lot more happiness on the side of the optimist.
Being an optimist requires vulnerability. Your hope just might be in vain. You might be crushed. You could be setting yourself up for failure. But to live without bitterness, doubt, frumpiness? It just might be worth the risk.
... it's probably a dud.
Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Do you think it's possible to change from one to the other? Would you want to?
As far as changing, I've tried - pessimism seemed so attractive in the despairing, cynical, "I dress in black and spend Way Too Much time in coffeehouses" sort of way when I was in high-school. But it wouldn't take. I tried very hard too, when I remembered to, and when I wasn't so Very excited about some good thing. But I think it'd be easier to change to optimism - especially when you have such a Beautiful life, and so many little happinesses. Aren't seeds popping up one of the most refreshing sights?
Well, I'm not as optimistic as my mom, nor as pessimistic as my dad, so I guess I'm somewhere in between. I tend to be more pessimistic toward myself and more optimistic toward others, though.
Whichever way we naturally lean, I do believe we can change our habitual thought patterns by challenging our netagive thoughts and telling ourselves the truth. "...We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2COR 10:5). When I started paying attention to my thought life and intentionally choosing to fix my thoughts on lovely things (see PHIL 4:8) instead of negative things, it really changed my life, because it changed my attitude.
Optimism has the audacity to hope--and hope does not disappoint! (see ROM 5:5). See, when you hope, you implicitly trust that God is going to work everything out for the best, one way or another. You know God the Father just LOVES it when his little ones trust him! When we let go of anxiety (or our security blanket/defense mechanism of pessimism), pray for what we need, and be thankful for what we have, God has room to fill us with that peace that passes all understanding and guard our minds and hearts in Christ Jesus (see PHIL 4:6-7).
I still struggle with pessimism at times, but I am "practicing" the virtue of hope and it really is freeing!
Yes, the garden coming up is definitely an incredible sight -- and it never gets old!
Pessimistic towards yourself and optimistic toward others? That's kind of how I feel sometimes. I'm much harder on myself than others... (but others might not think so ;)).

BP Suffers Slide ln Q1 Profits Over Lower Oil Prices
Energy giant BP has suffered a slide in first quarter profits after being stung by falling oil and gas prices.
The oil major generated profits of £1.6billion in the first three months of 2019 – a 12 percent drop on the £1.9billion it made in the same period last year.
But shares nudged up about 1 percent in early trading on Tuesday as BP's decline still beat City expectations and the firm boosted its dividend, adding to an already attractive yield of 5.6 percent.
BP said that strong supply at the start of 2019 helped to partially offset the impact of weaker oil prices and margins.
'BP's performance this quarter demonstrates the strength of our strategy,' thundered chief executive Bob Dudley.
"We produced resilient earnings and cash flow through a volatile period that began with weak market conditions and included significant turnarounds," he said.
BP cashed in on a rebound in the cost of crude oil over the last few years, with its profits doubling in 2018. But the price of Brent crude sank to an 18-month low at the end of December, knocking the sector.
Cash flow for the period stood at £4.6billion, excluding a £464million period for its Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, and a £773million working capital build.
BP's shares have risen 3 percent in the last year, compared to a dip of 1 percent for the wide FTSE 100, and spiked 10 percent in the last three months alone, Hunter points out.
'The company's historic position as a core portfolio constituent is in little danger, and a matching market consensus of the shares as a buy is most likely to remain intact,' he said.
