How to earn from a blog that has 90% traffic from India?
I guess Adsense isn't the best way to monetize an Indian traffic website. Do you think affiliate will work? The website is specifically towards Indian students and competitive exams only.
P.S. This is not my website. Right now it's getting around 50K views per month.
Ads network are not much giving more earning for the websites which have most of the traffics from india.
But if your page views are good, then you can engage people to click your ads by using wordpress plugins.
Thats why I think a blog owner can earn more if he only have Adsense.
@rajdeep @saurav_556 what do u guys think of Flipkart and Amazon or Clickbank affiliate? Is it successful for Indian traffic specially click bank?

World premiere of complete Jerry Goldsmith score!
Wow! World premiere of complete Jerry Goldsmith score for Frank Marshall film from Micheal Chrichton thriller with Laura Linney, Dylan Walsh. Original album produced by Goldsmith only featured about 23 minutes of score plus ten minutes of admittedly dynamic African choral material. But that left out virtually half of magnificent score. Goldsmith's approach to thriller offers some of his most riveting action music of the nineties. Intrada presentation includes everything composer recorded, including two versions of rich "Deep Jungle," in which version recorded specifically for album deleted tense snake sequence. Standing out in new tracks are thrilling action cues: powerful Rambo style "Meet Monroe Kelly" airport escape cue, intense "Help Me" where Tim Curry meets his violent end. Other new cues include two versions of mysterious "The Ghost Tribe," "Meet Amy" sequence with alternating thrills, tenderness. Alternates plus "Villagers Chant" written by James Newton Howard & Lebo M complete 62-minute program. Entire score mastered from original digital two-track session masters, vaulted at Paramount, stunningly recorded, mixed by Bruce Botnick. Packaging features both original Epic Soundtrax label album cover plus exciting "flipper" cover. Jerry Goldsmith conducts. Intrada Special Collection release available while quantities and interest remains!
Jerry Goldsmith provided some of his most ferocious action music of the '90s with Congo. He surrounded it with a magnificent theme for French horns ("The Expedition"); a beautiful line for Amy, the gentle gorilla; and a stirring work for orchestra and chorus with Lebo M ("Spirit Of Africa") that frames the score. Peppered throughout are exciting and explosive sequences that give the score a striking edge. Goldsmith was gifted at scoring action and he turns up the juice with his electrifying action cues for Congo.
Goldsmith planned for an album from the beginning of the composition process. He wrote two versions of the "Deep Jungle" cue, with one—an alternate that deletes the brief but intense action motif accompanying a snake on screen—called out at the sessions as the album take. We offer the film version (or "picture" as it's called in the slate titles) in the album portion of this CD and the alternate version of the cue as track 27 among the extras.
The use of music in Congo was altered during postproduction more extensively than usual. Several scenes recycle music used in other scenes ("Hippo Attack" and "Bail Out" were popular choices) and other cues (e.g. "No Customs") were truncated. Still other cues were significantly re-scored during the sessions. "The Other Side" (track 16) is one such example, with Goldsmith revising the cue for the film by rewriting the melody for Amy and removing the harp. Both versions are on our CD. Even the very brief sequence "Something I Lost" required two versions. Again, both are included.
One extra, "The Collapsed City" (track 30) is of particular interest: while the original cue was written and recorded for the climax of the film, the filmmakers recycled earlier action music instead. The unused music, scored for the explosive climax, was performed by a large percussion section. Since this music was designed to play solely as rhythm under the volcano eruption, and is not dramatic scoring per se, we sequenced it as one of the extras. The final extra features "The Villagers Chant" written for reel 7 by James Newton Howard and Lebo M.
Happily, Paramount Pictures vaulted all the recording sessions on digital tape, preserving Bruce Botnick's extraordinarily crisp and vibrant digital two-track stereo mixes. Having these unedited sessions complete, from the first take to the last, allows us to include every one of the re-scored or deleted sequences. We are, in fact, presenting every note of music Goldsmith recorded. One audio note: "The Villagers Chant" was mastered from the sessions held by Howard and Lebo M, but was never intended to be heard all the way through in the film. While the piece fortunately does come to a dramatic finish, the audio quality of the chant is considerably pinched in comparison with the orchestral sessions and the "Spirit Of Africa" recordings.
Enter now, deep into the Congo, to explore, to find a particular diamond, to release Amy back into the wild … and to remember with fondness the most exciting composer to ever score an action picture.


Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by the compression of a nerve as it passes through the wrist joint. It causes pain, sensory changes and a loss of hand function. Physiotherapy is a successful treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel is made up on three sides by the wrist bones and the roof of the tunnel a strong, broad ligament. Passing through this tunnel is the median nerve which sends signals from the brain to the hand. The walls of the tunnel are inflexible, therefore, if any of the tendons that run through become swollen, the median nerve can become compressed. This compression interferes with the messages or signals transmitted by the nerve.
What should I do if I have carpal tunnel syndrome?
If you have or suspect you have carpal tunnel syndrome, you should consult a physiotherapist for an assessment. In the meantime you should avoid activities which cause your symptoms to worsen.
Physiotherapy treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Physiotherapy is important in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Your physiotherapist can confirm your diagnosis and establish its severity. To establish a diagnosis a special nerve conduction test may be required to assess the transmission of signals along the affected nerve. From the assessment, your physiotherapist will devise an appropriate treatment plan. Treatment often involves involve activity modification, the taking of anti-inflammatory medications, electrotherapy and splinting of the wrist and hand.
In severe or long-standing cases, surgery may be required. Following surgery, active physiotherapy is required to restore full function to your hand by strengthening your hand, returning the range of movement in your wrist and hand to normal, and desensitising your scar.
Above: Our physiotherpaist assesing his patient for signs positive signs of carpal tunnel.
What shouldn't I do if I have carpal tunnel syndrome?
If you have carpal tunnel syndrome, you should not ignore the problem as it could get worse and prolong your recovery.
Could there be any long-term effects from carpal tunnel syndrome?
In many cases of carpal tunnel syndrome there are no long-term effects, if it is properly diagnosed and appropriately treated. In serious cases, surgery may be required to release the compression of the nerve.

LAS VEGAS -- Developers who want to build a domed stadium for the Oakland Raiders in Las Vegas vowed to zero in on two potential sites within the next month as they face a tight timeline to lock in a real estate deal, government approvals and the NFLs blessing.Representatives from Majestic Realty and the Las Vegas Sands casino company told an oversight committee Thursday that they want to get their plan in order by January, when NFL owners who must approve any team relocation by a three-quarters vote are scheduled to meet.I think the hardest part will be getting to the finish line on the land, said Sands President Rob Goldstein. Please be advised that were on it day in and day out.The Raiders are mulling a move to Las Vegas as Oakland hasnt made significant progress toward building them a new stadium. Los Angeles is another potential home for the Raiders if the San Diego Chargers pass on an opportunity to move there. Residents in San Diego will vote in November on the Chargers proposal to raise local hotel taxes for a new downtown stadium. The Chargers would likely look north if that fails.Raiders owner Mark Davis has said hed prefer to move the Raiders to Las Vegas -- a position reiterated by team President Marc Badain on Thursday.I know there are some people that question our commitment, Badain told Las Vegas-area business and government leaders. I hope they dont.Stadium proponents want to tap into $750 million in hotel tax revenue to pay for a venue they estimate will cost $1.7 billion to $2.1 billion, depending on land acquisition costs that haventt been finalized.dddddddddddd They narrowed a list of nine potential sites to four priority locations within the past two weeks.Those include the Bali Hai Golf Club and the UNLV campus near McCarran International Airport, the Wild Wild West casino and a site just to the west of Interstate 15 where the highway runs parallel to the Las Vegas Strip. Developers want to place the stadium as close as possible to the Strip and secure at least 60 acres for their project, if not 100.Proponents must clear several government hurdles to build the proposed 65,000-seat stadium. They need approval from the Nevada Legislature to raise the hotel tax, and need the Federal Aviation Administration to ensure a tall stadium doesnt interfere with plane traffic at the airport, which is close to the Strip.Developers expect there will still be loose ends when they present their two favorite options to the oversight panel, the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee.I just caution, by August 25, we wont know much from the FAA, said Craig Cavileer of Majestic Realty.Las Vegas had long been passed over by major professional sports leagues uncomfortable with the citys robust gambling industry.

'Thor: The Dark World' will soon be upon us, hitting theaters November 8, 2013, and so will Marvel's accompanying toy line. We got the chance to attend Hasbro's Fan Media Day during the 2013 American International Toy Fair, which showed off the new 'Thor 2' action figures and gadgets.
Previous toy releases, like most recently with the 'Iron Man 3' LEGO sets, have teased potential spoilers from their corresponding movies, so what hidden 'Thor: The Dark World' gems might be hidden in this new toy crop?
It seems like we've already seen tons of 'Thor: The Dark World' through set photos, videos and that recently released behind-the-scenes pic. We already know that our buddy Thor will be donning a new, semi-altered suit -- on top of a slew of other extremely spoilery plot details -- but it looks like he might be having another costume change.
We snapped a few photos of the new 'Thor 2' action figures at the 2013 American International Toy Fair during Hasbro's Fan Media Day in NYC, which showed off some closer looks at the Dark Elf armor, Loki and some of Thor's new looks. Also on display was the new and improved Mjolnir with an electronic screen and thunder bolt action.


2017 Ford Super Duty Texas State Fair. oday we made up for lost time to the 2017 F-350 Super Duty, however this time Ford had a little amaze for us. The smart new camo declares the 2017 Super Duty debut at the State Fair of Texas in September.
We've heard the new Super Duty F-250 and F-350 are relied upon to get more present day with aluminum development in the taxi and bed, utilizing lessons gained from the 2017 F-150. That alongside a since quite a while ago reputed 10-speed programmed made arrangements for various back wheel-drive Fords in the coming years ought to make the new Super Duty more productive than the active vehicle.
Anticipate that this new truck will embrace more outline elements from the most recent F-150 regardless of the fact that the photographs here demonstrate a more blocky appearance with regards to the conventional Super Duty lineup. The most recent Sync 3 driver help components and infotainment ought to now be offered on these trucks too. We've likewise heard that power will basically originate from the remainder 6.2-liter V-8, yet no word if Ford's EcoBoost advances will advance up here.
All variations of the Super Duty guarantee to measure significantly not exactly the active models on account of a body made altogether out of military-evaluation aluminum combination. Changing from steel to aluminum is additionally anticipated that would Ford advantage from economies of scale, a procedure that will eventually cut down the lightweight's expense metal.
The inside is a greater amount of an advancement than an insurgency to the extent looks go. The general design is persisted from the last-gen model, however the 2017 F-Series gets a sleeker-looking four-talked controlling wheel, another instrument group with a liberally estimated configurable TFT screen, and an upgraded focus console.
Despite the fact that it was essentially composed as a work truck, the Super Duty is pretty much as tech-engaged as Ford's traveler autos, hybrids, and SUVs. Contingent upon the trim level, it can be fitted with a 360-degree camera, versatile journey control, dynamic front guiding, a path takeoff cautioning framework and, for security minded purchasers, inflatable back safety belts.
The Open's appropriation Country A/T II as a production line fitment speaks to the first run through a household automaker has picked a U.S.- fabricated Toyo brand tire as unique gear. All Open Country A/T II tires originate from Toyo's plant in White, Georgia, northwest of Atlanta. In under a year, the tire sold more than 1 million units and picked up a notoriety for its enduring tread life and stylishly alluring configuration. The Open Country A/T II is offered in an assortment of sizes, from 215/75R15 to 325/50R22 to fit numerous mainstream OE and post-retail fitments of light trucks and SUVs. The processing plant fitment for the Ford Super Duty is LT 275/65R20.
To delineate this wonder, they set up together this affected show where they precisely string together an erector set of sorts, which suspends a few Ford pickups in mid-air from a solitary Super Duty Frame.
There's doubtlessly the scene was precisely built with link seats and propping such that its absolutely impossible the edge could fizzle the show. But, while this truly looks cool it truly doesn't demonstrate a darn thing other than Ford has bunches of cash put aside to market this new truck.
Passage is additionally hailing the new Super Duty as its " the most brilliant," as it will highlight up to seven distinct cameras that will help in both trailering, maneuvering into and out of stopping slows down and that's only the tip of the iceberg. The 360-degree camera framework can give a bird's-eye perspective of the region around the Super Duty, and Ford will mindfully offer a first-ever, processing plant accessible trailer camera that can be connected to backend of the trailer to enhance perceivability behind it when going down. There will likewise be a zoom capacity on specific cameras too to line up trailer associations.
On the whole, Ford says there will be 16 section first elements on the Super Duty, including LED lighting, versatile journey control, and in-taxicab trailer tire weight observing. The F-Series Super Duty will likewise highlight SYNC 3, the upgraded interchanges and diversion framework we first saw on the 2016 F-150 Limited.
Passage will offer five models in its Super Duty lineup and including the XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum. The 2017 Super Duty will be manufactured at its Kentucky Truck Plant Texas and it will go on special late in 2016.

12 Monkeys: Classic Science Fiction Psych Out!
The Good: Amazing acting, Good story, Interesting character work, Great DVD extras.
The Bad: Not as mind-bending as I would like (sort of).
The Basics: With 12 Monkeys, director Terry Gilliam presents a science fiction masterpiece or a psychological drama that knocks Bruce Willis through time on an unlikely quest to save humanity.
As I prepare to watch the latest cinematic endeavor from genius filmmaker Terry Gilliam, I found myself disconcerted to find I could not find my review of 12 Monkeys. So, I went to Google, typed in my name and 12 Monkeys and a list of my reviews came up . . . where I had referenced the film. As it turns out, I've not gotten around to reviewing one of my favorite films until now!
12 Monkeys is a science fiction film directed by Terry Gilliam that I recall enthusiastically going to the theater to see. The thing about it, though, was that the woman I saw the film with and I disagreed so strenuously about the end that after a month of fighting back and forth about it, we simply vowed to never speak of the film again. As a result, she is one of my oldest friends and we almost never take in movies together, lest another film come between us in a similar fashion. The thing is, after holding out for years to wait until a DVD version of 12 Monkeys came out that had a commentary track and decent bonus features, watching those featurettes and hearing what the cast thought would be controversial about the move versus what my friend and I argued about fascinates me.
Decades after the vast majority of the worlds' population is wiped out by a biological plague, scientists who rule over the survivors offer a prisoner an opportunity to help change the world. Having developed the ability to send individuals back and forth in time, the scientists offer Cole - a condemned criminal - a chance to find the source of the virus that nearly wiped out mankind so they may study it and reclaim the surface of the Earth by developing a cure. Cole, then, is sent back in time where he arrives, naked, in the early 1990s. His attempts to prove he is who he claims to be wind him in an insane asylum where he meets Jeffrey Goines.
Escaping back to the future with only minimal clues, Cole begins to feel like a failure and is derided by the scientists who trusted him to carry out the mission. Sent back to the proper time - the mid-1990s - in the days before the viral outbreak, Cole begins to hunt down clues that might reveal where the virus originated. With the help of his psychiatrist, whom he has taken hostage, Cole sets out to save the world, make sense of his recurring dream, and differentiate between what is real and what is a delusion in his disoriented mind.
The wonderful thing about 12 Monkeys is that the entire film contains elements that simply do not work and that level of realism is something too frequently lacking from the Star Trek school of science fiction. Cole is sent back to the wrong time not just once, but twice, ending up in the middle of a battle during World War I where he and one of his cell mates reunite and Cole is actually shot! That the mechanics of time travel do not work precisely and malfunction, throwing Cole about works brilliantly and it keeps the viewer attuned because the process is not smooth for him.
Similarly, the hunt for the group that set off the plague is based on only the most vague clues, a symbol Cole found on the surface in Philadelphia in the future. He traces it back to the headquarters of the Army Of The Twelve Monkeys and as he desperately tries to investigate them, he discovers that he may be responsible for unleashing the plague based on comments he made to Jeffrey Goines while hospitalized with him!
Either way, despite the convoluted plot, Cole makes for a compelling antihero. Having been called crazy on his first trip back through time, he finds himself hunting down his psychiatrist, Dr. Kathryn Railly when he is sent to the proper time. Far from heroic, he abducts her, menacing her at almost every opportunity as he begins to legitimately unravel. Confused about what is real and what is not, Cole finds himself troubled because he knows events native to the time he is visiting as an adult because he recalls them from when he was a child. So, for example, the news is ablaze with the story of a child who has fallen down a well, but Cole knows - and tells Railly - that the boy will be found safe in days hiding in a nearby barn. As Cole begins to become disoriented from the time traveling and becomes susceptible to the idea that he is merely imagining the future he thinks he experienced, he becomes more violent.
When 12 Monkeys was first released in theaters, I remember reading an article about how deplorable the film was because of the violence against women in it. I am very sensitive to violence against women in films and in reality and I don't see that in this movie. Cole is hardly a misogynist; he is blindly violent to virtually everyone as his mental state degrades. Indeed, the most violent on-screen images all include Cole bloodying up men.
So, Cole is no saint. Not by a long shot. He makes for a wonderful antihero as he struggles to understand what is happening to him and what is real. Bruce Willis portrays Cole and he is a natural as a protagonist who is an everyman. Indeed, it is hard to believe that Willis' portrayal of Cole did not influence M. Night Shyamalan when he cast Willis in Unbreakable (reviewed here!). Willis's acting genius is illustrated in the way that he plays two characters where extraordinary circumstances thrust them into roles well outside what a normal person could be expected to cope with and he makes both of them distinct, different and wonderful. With Cole, Willis has the opportunity to explore a character who may be mentally ill and he makes Cole empathetic in small moments when it is clear Cole is tormented by the uncertainty. Willis screws up his face and emotes - or simply stares and drools when appropriate - beautifully making Cole distinctive and different.
12 Monkeys has a mature cast and it managed to attract actors like Frank Gorshin and Christopher Plummer to roles that are essentially cameos or minor supporting roles. Yet, both Gorshin - as Railly's supervisor - and Plummer as Dr. Goines, Jeffrey's father, make the most out of their bit roles. Madeleine Stowe plays Railly and she has the tough task of playing yet another strong woman who is also a damsel in distress, much like she did in The Last Of The Mohicans. Stowe pulls it off well by playing Railly as angry and a victim who refuses to be victimized. She makes Railly a woman of reason and passion and the slow transformation from skeptical doctor to sympathetic co-conspirator is made realistic under Stowe's acting guidance.
But this film is the work Brad Pitt was made for. Those who say his role in Fight Club (reviewed here!) made him need to rewatch this and consider that it preceded Pitt's bloody opus. Pitt plays Goines and he is flat-out crazy. As part of the DVD bonus features, viewers are treated to behind-the-scenes footage of Pitt being coached by a psychologist on how to act after Pitt had observed some genuine institutionalized schizophrenics. The result is that Pitt turns in a performance that is energetic, enthusiastic, disturbing and . . . well, crazy. And he maintains it every single frame of the film that he is in. So unlike anything else he's played, this becomes the marker for Pitt's range that he has, arguably, never surpassed.
On DVD, 12 Monkeys looks great and the one-disc special edition is loaded with as many bonus features as a single disc may handle. In addition to full-length commentary by Gilliam and his producer, the disc contains the original short French film that 12 Monkeys was based upon (La Jette) and "based" is used very loosely. There is a whole documentary on the making of 12 Monkeys and all that Gilliam went through. He wanted to document everything given that the last time he worked for Universal, a decade prior with Brazil, (reviewed here!) he ended up in the epic fight between artist and industry. As well, there is the theatrical trailer and a collection of still images of production notes. In all, this makes excellent use of the DVD medium and will enhance the experience for anyone who loves 12 Monkeys!
And if you haven't seen it, who would enjoy it? Certainly anyone who likes the works of Terry Gilliam. This is classic Terry Gilliam, even though he had no hand in the writing of it. In terms of directoral style, vision and even prop selection - Gilliam's movies tend to have a rather "assembled" look to the props, things are not neatly mass produced in his futures - this is very much a Terry Gilliam film. Anyone who likes science fiction will enjoy 12 Monkeys. As well, anyone who likes a good psychological thriller will find merit in this film. The conflict between reality and dementia is well-related in this film, making it accessible to those who are more drama-oriented as opposed to science fiction oriented.
But it requires a stomach and patience. And it pays off when it reaches its resolution. It pays off in a way that will make viewers want to rewatch it again and again, making it pretty much a must-own DVD!

Our travels took us around the Bay of Fundy from the New Brunswick side to the Nova Scotia side and to a beautiful campground overlooking the water just outside the historic town of Annapolis Royal.
Campobello Island, NB is accessed via mainland Maine and after crossing over a small bridge you encounter Canadian border control and suddenly you are in New Brunswick. There was no line when we went through, we were asked a couple of questions and before we knew it we were on our way and even had a dog biscuit for Laia. If only all border crossings could be this easy. Our exit turned out to be just as easy with an even bigger dog biscuit from the American border agent.

Too much noise and crackle when playing a vinyl record? Don't worry – Chisto provides a perfect record cleaning solution for your LP archive.
Many of us consider vinyl crackle to be a "signature sound" of playing a record on a turntable. However, if you hear a lot of it, it means that the record is dirty and requires cleaning. Take a look at why exactly this sound that you know and love might be a warning sign for you to start using a fitting record cleaning liquid.
Vinyl crackle: your best friend and your worst enemy
The most beloved and cherished sound to any fan of analogue audio is the signature "crackling" and "popping" noises that one hears when a vinyl record is played on a turntable. A lot of times this particular sound is an actual argument in the whole "analogue vs digital" holy war that has been transpiring ever since CDs were introduced; devotees of analogue almost treat the record as if it's a living, breathing creature, and that particular noise is, in a way, its form of communication. For a casual listener this might seem a bit over-the-top, but to audio aficionados, listening to music feels like a transcendental spiritual experience, akin to the sensation devout Christians feel in the midst of a prayer, or Indian gurus during meditation. Therefore, it would only make sense that putting a record on the turntable and setting up the stylus feels like a magical ritual, where every action and noise has profound deeper meaning.
Transcendental procedures aside, there is a fairly mundane explanation of the "language" spoken by the record when it's being played. Simply put, this has to do with the imperfections of the technology of pressing vinyl records: density and age of the material, size of the disk, even the type of dye used on the record contributes to the overall effect. Thus, the initial crackle is cause by the stylus tackling these imperfections head-on. But can all of the noise heard during playtime be attributed only to these technicalities?
The answer is rather blunt – of course not. The remaining noise (which, unfortunately, doesn't have any spiritual value and is there to just spoil your listening experience) is caused by two primary factors: dust and static. Their origin is pretty obvious: grooves that are present on the surface of the disk make a perfect place for accumulating dust (and other foreign substances); as for static, its appearance is caused by the spinning motion of the record combined with the friction of the stylus touching the disk. So far, so simple, right? Now let's see how we tackle fixing this issue.
Reducing vinyl crackle
At first glance this doesn't seem all that complicated: we have to deal with various surfaces collecting dust all the time in our houses, so we should just use a brush and remove it, correct? Well… No. See, most surfaces in your house don't have microgrooves (and usually aren't meant to be played on a turntable), which is why brushing works. In this case, you'll ensure the presence of noise upon further use of the record, as the dust will be pushed further into the depths of the disk beyond the point where it would actually be possible to remove it. Only a really good ultrasonic record cleaner would be able to help, but these machines aren't exactly cheap to acquire, either.
When we switch our attention to static, the problem looks simple as well: we'll just use a special brush and viola, no static. Again… If it were that easy, we wouldn't have to write this article. Most brushes don't magically get rid of static, and even the ones suited for the task give only a temporary effect, as you can't really stop friction with something as simple as a brush. To truly affect the amount of static, a powerful static killer is necessary.
Now, you might be thinking, "Jeez, this whole "being an audiophile" thing seems like a real headache". Don't be discouraged so easily! (Although you have a point.) We at Chisto have thought about it a bit (a decade or so), and after countless series of tests we have concocted the most effective vinyl record cleaning solutions you'll find on the market, all of which are a part of our Easy Groove Superset. The secret lies in the specific set of chemicals we used, which has a perfect set of features to solve all problems related to cleaning and even preserving LPs.
First, we've put an emphasis on deep cleaning, as the grooves are the cause of most trouble related to crackle. Our vinyl record cleaning solution removes all foreign substances accumulated in the record and safely decomposes, leaving no traces, stains or surfactants behind, thus leaving the disk intact and causing no harm.

Q: Подключится к MDB(MS Access) из PHP Как открыть файл базы MDB и выполнить запрос из под PHP ???
Люди добрые подскажите какие пакеты установить и как настроить на Debian
Поиск информации мне не дал...
Заранее спасибо за ответ

A: Насколько я понимаю - это MS Access.
Согласно документации, доступ к ним осуществляется через ODBC. (http://php.net/manual/ru/faq.databases.php)
Доступ по ODBC отлично работает через PDO (http://php.net/manual/ru/ref.pdo-odbc.php).
В случае Debian вам надо будет сначала установить и настроить unixODBC (http://www.unixodbc.org/)
Самая сложная часть во всей этой истории - грамотно настроить datasource для MS Access в самом unixODBC, но тут уж, извините, ищите сами, ибо я не готов в здравом рассудке соваться в этот ад.
PS Когда найдете решение, не поленитесь написать его в качестве ответа - наверняка кому-нибудь поможет в будущем

11 of the Best Emo Songs
I may be morbidly depressed, but at least I have some good songs to drown myself in.
What emo is, exactly, is hard to pin down, and I don't know. But here are eleven total downers that I don't want to stop listening to.
"The Truth About Heaven" – Armor For Sleep
What could possibly be sadder than dying, going to heaven, finding out it never stops raining there, and then haunting your widow to try to tell her it's not worth it?
"You're So Last Summer" – Taking Back Sunday
"The truth is you could slit my throat – and with my one last gasping breath, I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt." A highlight from a very good album (that needs a remaster badly), also home to the classic "Cute Without The E".
"Hold On" – Good Charlotte
It would be remiss not to mention this song. Where many of these songs revel in depression, this one begs listeners to keep going. It asks the difficult questions: "What are you waiting for? What are you looking for? Do you know what you're doing to me?" I hope the inclusion of this, one of the most intense music videos I know, gives some perspective for the rest of the list. Additionally, this song has one of the finest bridges in all of rock and roll.
"Sleeping Aides And Razorblades" – The Exploding Hearts
One of the best tracks from a perfect album. I listen to this album, often twice, every time I do the most draggy thing I have to do daily: wash the dishes. It's a little ritual for me. "Oh, time to do the dishes? Better put on Guitar Romantic to make it bearable."
"Penetration" – Pedro The Lion
I knew this song was dangerous the first time I heard it. The lyrics are seriously pessimistic.
Have you ever seen an idealist with gray hairs on his head?
Or successful men that keep in touch with unsuccessful friends?
You only think you did – I could have sworn I saw it too
But as it turns out, It was just a clever ad for cigarettes
"All That I've Got" – The Used
The best song by one of the most consistent, genre-defining bands of second wave emo. "So deep that it didn't even bleed" immediately gives us an image of how strongly he feels. The production work of John Feldmann (of Goldfinger) sends this and the rest of their first six albums stratospheric.
"Timing" – Bilmuri
From 2016, this song is a late-comer to the party, but its wailing plead of "Can you give me a chance?" makes it one of the most memorable. Johnny Franck of Bilmuri is formerly a member of Columbus, Ohio's Attack Attack!
"Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis" – Brand New
One of the most intense songs I know. It follows a guy who goes to a bar, gets a girl drunk, and takes her home. Throughout the narrative, he admits that he knows that what he is doing is wrong ("I almost feel sorry for what I'm gonna do") but he seems to write it off as a necessary part of the game. "You can sin, or spend the night all alone." When allegations of sexual misconduct were brought up by two women who claimed that lead singer Jesse Lacey had sex with them when they were underage, it only made the song feel even more real and intense. It is a warning, and one of the best songs I know.
"Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" – Relient K
Relient K is way more than just a Christian band. On Mmhmm, their fourth album, they barely sing about the guy in the sky, and instead face their insecurities and inadequacies head-on. "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" bravely declares regret for past mistakes. The entire album is excellent, and when pressed for my favorites, it often makes the top 5 or 10.
"Bulls In Brooklyn" – The Academy Is…
The most underrated song in the genre? "Some people have it, and other people don't" is a favorite lyric, and one I try to keep in mind when I just want to lay in bed. The chorus soars, the bass line marches along, and the campy piano over the screechy bridge keeps it grounded. The album Santi is also underrated, with such earworms as "Seed" and the sterling closer "Unexpected Places".
"I Miss You" – blink-182
One of the most popular emo songs is also one of the best. The music video helped to establish the shady aesthetic that the rest of the genre would pick up on later. This was an almost complete departure for blink-182, as they previously had to sneak serious songs like "Stay Together For The Kids" and "Adam's Song" into the middle of albums titled Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, alongside tracks like "Happy Holidays, You Bastard" and "F*** A Dog". That all changed on their self-titled, where it's all serious right from the get-go, and even Robert Smith shows up to make sure you know how down Tom DeLonge was feeling. For all of this, it's one of my favorite albums, one of the most important in the genre, and this song is the jewel in its crown.

__u32 flags Event flags, see Table�A.105, "Event Flags".
V4L2_EVENT_VSYNC 1 This event is triggered on the vertical sync. This event has a struct�v4l2_event_vsync associated with it.
This event requires that the id matches the control ID from which you want to receive events. This event is triggered if the control's value changes, if a button control is pressed or if the control's flags change. This event has a struct�v4l2_event_ctrl associated with it. This struct contains much of the same information as struct�v4l2_queryctrl and struct�v4l2_control.
This event type will ensure that no information is lost when more events are raised than there is room internally. In that case the struct�v4l2_event_ctrl of the second-oldest event is kept, but the changes field of the second-oldest event is ORed with the changes field of the oldest event.
Triggered immediately when the reception of a frame has begun. This event has a struct�v4l2_event_frame_sync associated with it.
If the hardware needs to be stopped in the case of a buffer underrun it might not be able to generate this event. In such cases the frame_sequence field in struct�v4l2_event_frame_sync will not be incremented. This causes two consecutive frame sequence numbers to have n times frame interval in between them.
V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_SEND_INITIAL 0x0001 When this event is subscribed an initial event will be sent containing the current status. This only makes sense for events that are triggered by a status change such as V4L2_EVENT_CTRL. Other events will ignore this flag.
If set, then events directly caused by an ioctl will also be sent to the filehandle that called that ioctl. For example, changing a control using VIDIOC_S_CTRL will cause a V4L2_EVENT_CTRL to be sent back to that same filehandle. Normally such events are suppressed to prevent feedback loops where an application changes a control to a one value and then another, and then receives an event telling it that that control has changed to the first value.
Since it can't tell whether that event was caused by another application or by the VIDIOC_S_CTRL call it is hard to decide whether to set the control to the value in the event, or ignore it.
Think carefully when you set this flag so you won't get into situations like that.

Are longer or shorter ads better?
Having worked in radio for many years, I felt the pull from clients wanting shorter ads, going from 30-seconds (the norm) to 15 seconds. I did, however, have a few brave clients that would do 60-second ads (or at least a combination of 30-second ads and 60-second ads). These brave few had ads that stood out from the crowd and were able to tell the story they were wanting to tell.
Recently Google investigated How long does it take to change someone's mind about your brand in a video ad? Should you rush to tell your story to avoid getting tuned out, or should you embrace a longer format to build a more captivating story?
Check out this short video.
The standard TV ad in the "Mad Men" era was 60 seconds long. But to bring more advertisers to the platform, networks first offered 30-second ads, and then 15-second ones to serve advertisers with smaller budgets. As a result, ad length became a function of price, not attention or effectiveness.
In fact, television ad research has established that 15-second TV ads are roughly 75% as effective as 30-second spots. And they're half the cost. So it's no surprise that 15-second ads are so common on TV and that 60-second spots are few and far between.
But what about length and effectiveness on YouTube? Previous research has shown that there is a consistent relationship between how long an ad is viewable and increases in brand awareness and consideration. And we've found that viewers are certainly willing to watch longer ads: The average length of ads on the YouTube Ads Leaderboard in 2014 averaged three minutes—an increase of 47% vs. 2013. And none of the top ads in 2014 and 2015 were under a minute.
Does that mean that on YouTube, longer is stronger?
In this Unskippable Labs experiment, we bring a little data to the art of storytelling and explore how the length of an ad can affect brand lift metrics. We partnered with Mondelez International and Droga5 to test real ads for Honey Maid.
A study in video advertising: "Go short or go long"
We tested three cuts of varying length using TrueView, YouTube's skippable ad format. Then we measured how people responded to the ads in two critical ways: what people chose to watch (whether they watched 15 seconds, 30 seconds, or more; how long they watched the longer cuts) and how that impacted the brand (ad recall and brand favorability) via a Brand Lift study.
All three ads celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month and feature members of the Gomez family, focusing on their experience as immigrants in America and their love of family. Each ad has a different balance of story, product, and brand.
The 15-Second Cut
The shortest version of the ad, with a voice-over from the father, includes scenes of the family together and ends with the brand's logo and tagline. The product appears at the six-second mark, and either the product or logo is present for a total of five seconds, or 33% of the total runtime.
The Theory:
The short length of this YouTube ad will make it less skippable, without sacrificing the narrative or brand lift effectiveness. The balance of story and brand in a concise format will hold the viewer's attention and create a connection to Honey Maid.
The longer cut gives more detail and dimension to the story, with scenes of the father heading to work and the family playing together. While the longer format adds more Honey Maid product shots, the relative amount of explicit branding is roughly the same as the 15-second version. The product first appears at the 11-second mark, and either the product or logo is present for 10 seconds, or 30% of the total runtime.
This video will draw viewers in with a more in-depth story and is still relatively short. It is the best of both worlds—short enough to keep viewers entertained and long enough to create a meaningful impression.
The Long Cut (2:17 runtime)
The longest version adds further depth to the family's story. In addition to the father, the viewer hears from the mother, daughter, and grandmother (who speaks in Spanish). Like the other ads, the themes of family and celebration are highlighted. The product does not appear until 1:17, and either the product or logo is present for only 12 seconds, or just under 9% of the overall runtime.
The long-form version builds tension by illuminating some of the Gomez family's struggles, which adds a richness to the final scenes of celebration. The layered story that reveals more facets to the family will pull viewers in and keep them engaged.
Findings from "Go short or go long"
Here's what we found when we looked at which of the three ads people chose to watch (and for how long), and how that impacted the brand:
1. Longer may be stronger.
The longer cuts were both watched more than the 15-second ad, with the 30-second ad the least skipped, and the 15-second ad the most skipped.
While all three versions performed well above Mondelez International benchmarks, the 30-second ad had the highest view-through rate (VTR). In fact, its VTR was 30% higher than that of the 15-second spot.
The longer-form ads were also both more effective in lifting brand favorability than the 15-second ad. The extra depth and dimension of more complex stories created a more meaningful connection to the brand. For brands moving beyond simple awareness, a longer story may be necessary to persuade people to change how they think.
2. Connect length to goals, not just economics.
The 15-second ad was the only one to drive significant ad recall across all three cuts. For brands with a focus on awareness, the short format can be both effective and efficient. Shorter formats can raise awareness, keep the brand top of mind, and create signals that drive important behaviours such as search. But it's worth pondering the gap in performance between ad recall and favorability. Is a knockout performance in ad recall important for brands if it doesn't also impact brand favorability? Make sure what you're measuring is connected to your business goal, and don't assume that good performance in one area—like recall—is helping you in others. Ground decisions about length in your strategy; people will watch (and be persuaded by) longer stories.
3. Don't leave your brand for last.
If you are telling longer stories, don't leave your brand to the very end. Even for the most compelling ads, you will lose some of your audience as the story unfolds.
For example, only about 15% of viewers watched the longest video ad all the way through4—which is more than 2X typical benchmarks for consumer-packaged-goods (CPG) videos of this length5—but still a limited subset of everyone exposed to the ad.
The brand did not appear in any form until the 1:17 mark—meaning that viewers who skipped before that point had no chance to connect what they were watching to Honey Maid. To maximise the connection to the brand, find ways to create that connection as the story unfolds. But don't just pop your logo up. Our research about creative choices shows that this reduces the view-through rate. Instead, create the story in a way that weaves the brand throughout.
The good news for all of us is that attention spans aren't simply shrinking down to nothing. A great story can still grab and hold an audience, even with the skip button ever-present. The challenge is the same now as it was in the beginning of advertising: to figure out how to blend story and brand successfully. This has never been tougher, as we're now competing to reach people who are hit with thousands of messages a day from every direction. This media pressure can lead brands to feel like everything needs to be faster, faster, faster. But, as this experiment showed, making ads shorter doesn't get them more attention—it may get them even less. With a great story, brands can take the time to create a connection and change a mind.

(Crain's) -- The Chicago Board of Trade's biggest shareholder, Caledonia Investments Pty. Ltd., cast its ballots against the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's planned acquisition of the CBOT, ratcheting up pressure on Merc executives to raise their bid or risk losing the deal.
Caledonia's "no" vote Tuesday for its 3.5 million shares -- about 7% of CBOT Holdings Inc. -- comes less than two weeks before a scheduled July 9 shareholder vote that Merc CEO Craig Donohue has said he's confident he'll win. The Merc's $10.3-billion offer, originally made in October, trails a rival $10.9-billion offer from IntercontinentalExchange Inc. CBOT shares themselves, which closed Tuesday at $200.42, value the exchange at $10.6 billion.
Meanwhile, Institutional Shareholder Services on Wednesday recommended that investors support the Merc's offer in a report that may sway some other large CBOT shareholders.
Caledonia's vote is less an endorsement of Intercontinental's bid than a clear signal that it wants a better offer from the Merc, according to people familiar with Caledonia's thinking. Under the current deal, CBOT shareholders get 0.35 of a Merc share for every CBOT share, giving them a 35% stake in what would be the world's biggest futures exchange but no premium for surrendering control of the exchange, according to Caledonia's thinking. A growing group of CBOT shareholders have said they won't accept less than 0.40 of a Merc share, valuing the deal at $11.7 billion, including a $9.14-per-share dividend thrown in earlier this month. For Caledonia, such an increase would boost its take in the deal by $93 million.
Caledonia's vote stands in contrast to how both the Merc and the CBOT have characterized shareholder feedback.
"In the numerous meetings management has had with members and shareholders in anticipation of the July 9th vote, the response to the strategic merger with the CME has been very positive," a CBOT spokeswoman said. "Shareholders well understand the palpable integration and execution risks associated with ICE's unsolicited offer and the significant leverage that would be required to complete a transaction."
A spokesman for Caledonia, which is based in Sydney, Australia, declined to comment.
Because Caledonia began building its stake in the CBOT two years before the exchange went public and at a time when it was under siege from European rival Eurex A.G., its views are closely monitored by CBOT members and could sway a significant number of votes. CBOT members hold the majority of the exchange's shares. Already dozens of CBOT shareholders and members have come out against the deal; dozens of other members say they will vote for it.
As the July 9 vote nears, both the Merc and Intercontinental are pulling out all the stops to swing votes their way.
Intercontinental CEO Jeffery Sprecher is hosting a reception for CBOT members Wednesday evening at Chase Tower, where he's expected to urge more "no" votes. He's also sending out proxies to CBOT shareholders this week with the same message.
The Merc's Mr. Donohue and Chairman Terrence Duffy, originally scheduled to meet CBOT members Wednesday afternoon in the soybean pit to press their case, rescheduled that meeting to Thursday and added a reception of their own.
Institutional Shareholder Services said Intercontinental's offer is riskier because its stock has historically tended to drop in value as the chances of it buying the CBOT rise, eroding the value of its all-stock bid. CME's shares, by contrast, tend to gain as investors see a higher chance for its takeover plan to win the vote.
ISS also said the Merc-CBOT deal is a better "strategic fit" and less risks as the companies integrate their operations, which are already partly combined through a clearing arrangement.
The Merc and Intercontinental have both raised their bids twice since Intercontinental made its first proposal in March, with the CBOT board rejecting each new Intercontinental bid in favor of a new Merc bid. With $1 billion in cash on hand, the Merc has the financial resources to outbid the much smaller Intercontinental, analysts say. Any further increase by the Merc would postpone the July 9 vote, but just by a matter of days.
Trading at the CBOT this month is up more than 50% from last year, vs. about 30% at the Merc, as investors for the first time in years are beefing up bets on the longer-term interest rates on which contracts traded at the CBOT are based. That trend makes the CBOT even more valuable to the Merc, whose most popular contracts are tied to short-term interest rates.
