From the gorgeous peaks of the Alps in the north to the glistening lakes in the heat of the south - here are six of the best things to do when traveling in Italy.
Italy is one of the most beautiful destinations Europe has to offer. From the gorgeous peaks of the Alps in the north to the glistening lakes in the heat of the south, there's an abundance to be experienced in between. Here are six of the best things to do when traveling in Italy.
As the capital city of Italy, Rome could be considered the most iconic and exciting destination in the country. With its wealth of historic landmarks and renowned attractions, you'll find it's impossible to get bored here.
Consider visiting the Pantheon, perhaps the most well-preserved landmark in the entirety of the city. Its marble floors have been walked on for nearly 2,000 years and the intricate detailing upon its front façade make for a stunning photo opportunity.
There's also Vatican City, worth taking a day out for, where you can tour the museums and arrive at St. Peter's Basilica, the Renaissance church where the Pope frequently addresses up to 80,000 people either in the building itself or in the adjacent square.
Venice may be renowned for its appeal to those who are in love, but it's a must-see regardless of who you're traveling with. The cultural heritage of the city runs through every canal and side street, with the elegant architecture and unique markets offering something you won't find elsewhere in Italy. Although the center of Venice is teeming with tourists and opportunistic vendors alike, it's when you sail out towards the neighboring districts and the quieter regions that you begin to understand the city's allure. Beyond San Marco, the heart of Venice, frequent travelers suggest the other neighborhoods – Dorsoduro, San Polo, Santa Croce, Cannaregio, and Castello.
These areas are effortlessly picturesque and romantic, and you'll find you become infatuated with every small canal and passage you cross. In the quieter areas is where you'll find the better restaurants, too, and you'll be able to savor what the popular delicacies are among locals.
That isn't to say the busier parts of Venice are bad, though – here you'll find a wealth of palaces and beautiful landmarks such as Piazza San Marco, its Campanile towering into the short skyline. And why not soak up the atmosphere by picnicking by the Grand Canal? The choice is yours, but rest assured if you're not already taken, Venice will steal your heart.
Wherever you end up visiting in Italy, you're sure to experience some of the finest food in the world. It goes without saying that pizza and pasta are two massively popular dishes (as they now are worldwide) but you'll find the tastes are much more authentic in their native country.
Pizzas are thin, with fewer toppings than you'd get from your local takeaway. Although still full of around 1,000 calories, you'll find that the tastes are richer and much more enjoyable. Italian pizzas are lighter and less greasy than elsewhere in the world.
Plus, the amount of walking you'll likely be doing means that there isn't much to be worried about. You'll find the different regions of Italy offer unique dishes, too. You'll indulge in plenty of seafood in Sicily but find an abundance of carbonara in the capital.
Everybody associates la dolce vita with Rome, but it's the Amalfi Coast where you're sure to find it. The Mediterranean Sea sparkles a deep blue in the beating sun, and you'll find every building in the hills of the coast offers unparalleled views out towards the horizon. It's also rich in history, with the second largest coliseum in the country existing here (we'll give you one guess as to where the biggest is). Of course, the tranquillity of the Amalfi Coast urges you to unwind and relax for the duration of your stay, but there's a lot to do here on the quiet coastline.
You can hike upon the 'Path of the Gods' through the mountains by the water, or even visit the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park where you'll find secluded caves and hidden streams to explore. It's one of Italy's natural beauties that shouldn't be missed.
It's safe to say Italy's largest lake lives up to its name. Lake Garda has quickly become a tourist hotspot, which is all down to its year-round sunshine and stunning landscapes. The mountains that surround the lake seclude you in your own personal paradise, and it's up to you what you get up to – but if you're looking for an active holiday, this could be your best bet.
If you're wanting a more unique exercise than the norm, you can head out on the vast open water to try your hand at windsurfing, jet-skiing or simply swimming – the choice is yours, but Lake Garda truly does have something for everyone. As the Crowded Planet says, it's no surprise this area has been famous among adventurers and adrenaline-lovers for decades.
Alternatively, you could choose to simply bask in the radiance of the quirky lakeside cafés and gelato parlors, with the option to bathe in the water's stillness if you wish. Try some of the home-grown beverages and delicacies that are native to the location, with the locally sourced fruits and wines being some of the best in the country. And, if you're wishing to learn the history of the fascinating town, the ancient Roman ruins that can be found on the land are your source of traditional culture.
It's hard to narrow any areas of Tuscany down. Although the region is enormous and spans over nearly 9,000 square miles, you'll be hard done by to find any location within its borders that isn't desirable. There's the two frequented cities of Pisa and Florence, the latter arguably more interesting with its Duomo – the Cattedrale di Santa Maria – standing big and bold in the city center.
Then there are the countless vineyards and smaller towns to be found in the Tuscan hills, where you'll find gorgeous authentic villas and accommodation to escape from reality for a little while.Towns like San Gimignano and Montepulciano are just two of many secluded communities you might stumble upon, all offering the unique experiences in the way of food and culture. Tuscany is where Italy's heritage comes alive in the form of medieval architecture and old-world settings, so find a spot and explore for a while.

What would be your favorite thing to do when visiting Italy?
You listed such great destinations when travelling in Italy! And I also love Italian meal very much!
I just love Italy – the food, people and gorgeous cities of which Venice is my absolute favourite!
I'm dying to visit the Amalfi Coast and Tuscany! I loved Venice when I was there a few years ago, and Sicily has a big soft spot in my heart because I studied abroad there in college. My favorite thing to do in Italy is definitely eat, eat, eat! If there's one place in the world where I go all out eating-wise, it's Italy. When I'm there I can't get enough of pizza, pasta, bread, fresh produce & gelato.
Have only been to Rome and the Amalfi coast out of these, but went twice to each as they are so beautiful! Looking to check out either Milan or Bologna next.
I absolutely love Italy and can't wait to explore more of it one day! One of the coolest places I've been so far is Burano, which must be one of the most colourful places in the world! Lake Garda and Tuscany are high on my list! I love your picture of Lake Garda above btw! It looks incredible!
This post makes me fall in love with Italy all over again <3 It has been YEARS since I've visited, and I loved Cinque Terre and Florence and Rome… I've never done the Amalfi Coast, however. Thanks so much for sharing this (and feeding my wanderlust!!).
Haven't been to Italy yet. Fairly sure that will change because soon I'm a big fan of Italian food!
Beautiful photos and great info. Thanks. I used to live in Milano, IT for a long time and I really miss it. You inspired me to revisit it. It has some gorgeous places to visit and enjoy.
Italy is one of my favourite destinations in Europe – love Rome, Venice, Tuscany and the Amalfi coast is high up on my list!
Wondeful post. I love all about Italy soooo much.
Shame you don't travel further south to Calabria. This is a region of Italy that is untouched by tourism – only locals know of this region's wonderful diversity.
We loved Italy when we were there and your post has reminded me of some of the parts we really loved and made me want to return…hopefully it will not be too long before we can.

I loved this film. It's the only way I can think of to start this. It's a film about Evil, as suggested in the title. It focuses around a prisoner locked in a cell at the Sheriff's station. We follow an officer, Hancock and the Sheriff while they deal with the odd events that begin happening. The film grabbed me as soon as it started with a nicely styled wide shot. The film is split into chapters but it feels more like two parts, you will see why shortly.
Don't adjust your set, like I tried, the film is in black and white. On the last call out of the shift for Hancock, played brilliantly by Charlene Amoia, she arrests a mysterious girl and locks her in a cell at the Police Station. Things start going weird from here. Everyone who is around the girl begins to act unnaturally, if affected the eyes will glow yellow. The tension builds so quickly and is maintained for such a while that by the time there's silence on screen again, it is well needed. The tension kicks up and down a few times, however the film never feels choppy.
The camerawork following the characters through the narrow corridors is smooth and could be from a far higher budget production. The editing is great and keeps the film moving at a steady pace, only allowing breathing space for the viewer during the brief periods of respite the characters have. There is a small sub-plot going on with two people from the Most Wanted List, which to me is leading more to a possible spin off movie, which I would definitely go and see. Granted it is slightly more than a sub-plot but in order to remain spoiler free I can write no more.
The cast is superb, from the Sheriff and staff, the University Dean, and the Most Wanted two. Vladamir Kulich from 13th Warrior and Ironclad, plays Pete the Sheriff, who although is hard as nails, knows his limitations. Charlene Amoia, brilliant, takes the role of the reluctant hero. Killing everything and being the only person who seems unsusceptible to the dangers of what is locked in the cells. The great Tony Todd turns up in the second half of the film as The Pastor who leads the grand finale scene. Vincent Ward from The Walking Dead also has a great turn as one of the officers struggling with the power of what is locked in the cell.
A small glimpse of an explanation begins to come forward, during this scene something happens and jolts the film into colour. It is not only the colour that changes, everything changes. The fight scenes and violence increase and we are introduced to a nice twist. Some tongue in cheek comedy and light heartedness replaces the serious and sombre tone of the first part.
The undead begin arriving and they have a very 80's feel to them. These aren't your average, groaning, staggering undead, out hunting for brains, these guys ride Harley Davidsons, and it fits. There are some nice fight scenes with the undead, including one which explains a plot line through a fight without using any dialog. The tension builds steadily for the grand finale and I wasn't disappointed.
Throughout the film we are treated to some surreal dream-like sequences, more-so in the black and white section, but the circumstances in which they are used occur mostly in the first part. The quick jump to the bright and vivid slo-mo blood clouds break some of the tension, but they soon become more sinister and provide an insight into how the evil affects people. The segments do look spectacular and they add a little extra depth to a character, the evil, who despite being the focal point, isn't in the film that much.
This was a fun ride, from the stylised black and white shots right through to the 80's undead revival, it didn't stop. It made me laugh and reminisce and I would watch it again without a second thought. If you get the opportunity, give this a go. You could do a whole lot worse!
Ghost Story is an enticing proposition from the off; who doesn't want to see a horror film boasting the collective acting royalty of Fred Astaire, Douglas Fairbanks Jr, John Houseman and Melvyn Douglas? Originally released in 1981, the film is an old fashioned tale, sliced with 80's horror and old school special effects. On December 7th it will be available on DVD and Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, with a plethora of special features including the director's audio commentary, Alice Krige's exploration of her character and the genesis of Ghost story with original author Peter Straub.
So, picture the scene; our four elderly characters (Ricky, Edward, Sears and John) reside in a small New England town where they regularly meet as members of The Chowder Society. On dark atmospheric evenings they regale each other with ghostly, frightening tales, subsequently scaring the hell out of one another. Juxtapose this opening scene with an upscale New York apartment, where we witness Edward's son, David, fall to his death after he sees his fiancé transform in to a decaying corpse. After the low key and tense opening, this comes as something of a shock and definitely not what you might be expecting. The story then weaves its way back to New England as David's twin brother, Don (both parts played by Craig Wasson) heads home for his brother's funeral and to see his starchy and difficult father.
This is where things begin to really take shape. The Chowder Society are haunted by vivid, terrifying nightmares and Edward (Douglas Fairbanks Jnr) falls to his death from a nearby bridge. Suspicious of both his father and brother's death, Don begins to scratch the surface of what is really going on, linking events to his recent relationship with mysterious English woman Alma Mobley (Star Trek's Alice Krige). Don's questioning slowly unearths secrets long buried and it becomes clear that there is more to the Chowder Society than meets the eye.
Loosely based upon a book of the same name by veteran horror writer Peter Straub, the screenplay for Ghost Story is written by Lawrence D. Cohen, who also penned the glorious Carrie. Although not in the Carrie stakes, the story here is accomplished and knows how to build upon itself, finding its way to a great climax. The one thing to be said is that there are a couple of characters (The Bates) who are never fully explained and appear to exist merely to progress the plot forward. It's a shame as they create some great sinister moments and actually end up feeling woefully underused.
Having said that, John Irvin directs his stars expertly, there is a definite classic feel to the storytelling and the numerous flashbacks are a treat, filling in the blanks and unravelling the story before us, as if we were sitting at the fire with The Chowder Society themselves. The joy of a good flashback can be a hard thing to beat and here we get two crackers; one relaying Don's brief relationship with the haunting Alma, and two; the Chowder Society as young men, a past that perhaps holds all the answers.
Fred Astaire and John Houseman in particular are fantastic throughout the film, Astaire providing a softer edge and a sense of conscience to the dominant Houseman, who manages to be imposing and unnerving even without speaking.
Ghost Story definitely feels like an 80's film (possibly even late 70's) so it is fairly dated, but in all honesty it's all the more charming for it. The effects may not terrify modern audiences but there is a shock value and who doesn't love some old fashioned horror? It feels like a hark back to the sort of film you might have seen as a kid, managing to sneak downstairs late at night and turn the TV back on. I found it all genuinely unsettling, from the nightmarish terrors of the Chowder Society's dreams to the unearthly Alma; the whole tone left me a little nervous to turn the light off.
Plot: When friends Becky (Devereux) and Susan (Night) take a trip to the picturesque Dartmoor countryside for a rambling weekend, their plans are sidetracked by the handsome Chris (Blue). An accident leads to the girls bunking up with Chris in his remote cottage. Chris isn't everything he seems though and his intentions are a lot darker than they could have expected. He begins to play the girls against each other and soon the two have to fight for their survival.
It seems that one staple of British thrillers is taking advantage of the beautiful scenery and Dartmoor Killing is no exception, filled with countless shots of the wonderful English countryside. Nicholson shows his experience from many years in television, with a very well shot movie. The whole cast and crew has done a great job here, delivering a suspenseful thriller.
While unhinged country folk preying on the visiting city-dwellers is not an original story, Dartmoor Killing manages to keep the audience on edge. Callum Blue is great as the menacing Chris, managing to turn on the charm whenever he needs to manipulate the girls. Devereux handles the majority of the motivation and back story, with a number of flashbacks. It's a small cast movie with Rebecca Night and David Hayman (The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Sawney: Flesh of Man) rounding off the major roles. Hayman, who is a veteran actor, is pivotal in this film, delivering important exposition, but in my opinion he is under utilised here.
The flashbacks are used in an interesting way but I did find myself thinking that it was supposed to be some sort of supernatural element as Becky first sees them in an almost ghostly manner which is good in the sense that she is haunted by the memory and thankfully not disappointing when it becomes apparent there is no phantoms involved in this story.
The film has reasonable pacing, although the third act's cat and mouse between Chris and the girls does out stay it's welcome a little bit. It's something that can be overlooked though, the film offers more than the average stalk-and-slasher. The film has it's ways of unfolding, twisting the plot when you don't expect it and offering some surprising developments.
As it is a thriller rather than a horror, Dartmoor Killing isn't a bloodbath. While there is some of the titular killing involved, it's still a small cast thriller so the violence is sparse, opting for more intimidation from the country psycho.
Dartmoor Killing is definitely one worth checking out although I doubt it's one worth re-watching. As I said before, killers in the countryside are nothing new and it's a good watch but there's not much to get really passionate about. The DVD has a few features, some behind the scenes photos and the trailers. Nicholson shows us what he can do away from television and TV movies with Dartmoor Killing and I definitely look forward to seeing what he does next.
Released by Signature Entertainment in UK cinemas and VoD on October 30.
WHENEVER you hear the name Mark Neveldine you think of the bonkers Jason Statham-starring Crank films.
However, this particular half of the Neveldine/Taylor duo has turned his attention to horror with his latest feature and (for the most part) it's a solid effort.
Angela (Olivia Dudley) is a young woman with her life ahead of her. She's in a loving relationship with Pete (John Patrick Amedori) and her military father Roger (Dougrey Scott) has just surprised her by turning up for her birthday.
Unfortunately for Angela this joyous time is shattered a seemingly innocuous cut leads to everything from a coma to her becoming possessed. It's left to a priest (Michael Pena) and two Vatican exorcists to try and save Angela's soul.
The first thing to note about The Vatican Tapes is the variety of shooting styles used throughout. Everything from mobile phone footage to CCTVs and traditional camerawork are in play here. It might be jarring for some, but if you've seen either of the Crank films then it really shouldn't be a surprise.
While the opening half hour takes a little time to set the scene and get the "possession" ball rolling, once it finds its rhythm it becomes an interesting approach to psychological horror. Are the occurrences all in Angela's head or is there something more sinister at work?
As Angela's life begins to descend into near madness Neveldine manages to generate real unease in places without plumping for the typically-clichéd jump scares we're so used to. In fact there is one particular scene within a mental hospital that is brilliantly unnerving as mayhem unfolds all around Angela.
It all builds to an unexpected climax – one that includes an OTT sequence when an attempt at the exorcism goes awry. It's a scene that should feel out of place in such a film but then you remember who's directing and it doesn't feel like such a major issue.
As a story about good versus evil, this is a solid if unspectacular attempt that flirts with the evils of celebrity and it never outstays its welcome, wrapping everything up – neat final scene included – in just under 90 minutes. The inclusion of Cardinal Bruun (Peter Andersson) as a Vatican exorcist with his own demons adds another dimension.
Of the cast it's definitely Dudley's show. Her headlong tumble into the world of demons and exorcisms is handled superbly. Little nuances in how she holds her head or how her eyes narrow slightly let us in on whether she's Angela or "possessed Angela". It may not seem like much to some, but these little touches make a world of difference, and Dudley carries it off with aplomb. We can sympathise with her because, thankfully, her character isn't annoying – an all-too-rare thing in horror.
Everyone else does what they can with the screen time they are given, although Pena and Djimon Hounsou, as Vicar Imani, feel woefully underused.
It may not be groundbreaking but The Vatican Tapes is an interesting and, at times, unsettling film that will ensure people want more horror from Neveldine.
THE MESSENGER is set in the ghostly netherworld between life and death. We all want to believe in life after death and imagine loved ones looking over us, feel their presence in a draft of air – knowing they wait for us. But Jack (Robert Sheehan) isn't waiting, in and out of secure units all of his young life, the dead won't leave him alone. Some might call Jack a troubled soul, at odds with the world, unable to conform. But Jack has a sharp mind and a razor wit. It's not that he doesn't want to live a normal life, he can't. They won't let him.
When Jack unwillingly becomes embroiled in the unfinished business of a local murder, he discovers hidden secrets which threaten to push him over the edge. His estranged sister, Emma (Lily Cole) re-appears in his life and Jack starts to remember the past they shared together and to confront the truth about the death of his own father.

Pacquiao: Golovkin fight? – I hope you're joking, Bob!
Mikey Williams
Former world champion Manny Pacquiao gave a sigh of relief on a recent conference call when promoter Bob Arum joked about a possible fight with Gennady Golovkin.
Arum, who has always been against the 'Pacman' facing Golovkin, mentioned a potential 'GGG' blockbuster in jest but still gained a response from the Filipino Senator, who wouldn't relish the challenge at this stage of his career.
"If Manny comes in and dominates this fight and looks like the old Manny, and wants to continue fighting, there will be certain opponents that will be considered," said Arum.
"If he decides that it's too much juggling two careers then he shouldn't continue. If he is determined to continue and his performance suffers because of his work in the Senate I would have to look in the direction of somebody else for an opponent.
"So to jump now about names and so forth, who knows?
"Manny may look so good in this fight and may have such senatorial presence in the fight that we may be looking for Golovkin next. And if he doesn't vote right in the senate I think some of his constituents may be urging him to fight Golovkin."
Pacquiao then responded: "Bob, I hope you are joking about Golovkin!"
Asked about future opponents and indeed if he will even fight again, Pacquiao answered: "I don't know yet. One fight at a time. I take them one at a time. I cannot say yes right now," he added.

Q: Create subset of ranges and individual items I'm using R and have a dataset with ~3000 psychological test data. The data is all dyadic in male-female partners (though this shouldn't matter for you). I'm creating a new data frame with just the variables of interest, most of them are not sequentially listed in the original data so I select them by name like below:
new_df <- subset(data, select=c("MQ4", "FQ4", #RX STATUS
                               "MQ9", "FQ9", #ETHNICITY
                               "MQ10", "FQ10", #RACE
                               "MQ465", "FQ465", #SEX
                               "MQ13", "FQ13", #GENDER
                               "MQ14", "FQ14", #SEXORIENT
                               "MQ180", "MQ181", "MQ182", "MQ182" ### HERE IS WHERE I NEED HELP
 ))

However, I have about 150 unique items that are listed sequentially and I'd like to select them without writing out "MQ180" through "MQ310" to select them all. I've been trying to figure out a way to select the range as well to the individual items I have been doing. This is currently what I'm trying:
new_df <- subset(data, select=c("MQ4", "FQ4", #RX STATUS
                               "MQ9", "FQ9", #ETHNICITY
                               "MQ10", "FQ10", #RACE
                               "MQ465", "FQ465", #SEX
                               "MQ13", "FQ13", #GENDER
                               "MQ14", "FQ14", #SEXORIENT
                               163:310         ### HERE IS WHERE I NEED HELP
 ))

A: One option:
dplyr::select(mtcars, "cyl", 5:8)

This subsets the mtcars dataframe to just the cyl column and the 5th thru 8th column:
                    cyl drat    wt  qsec vs
Mazda RX4             6 3.90 2.620 16.46  0
Mazda RX4 Wag         6 3.90 2.875 17.02  0
Datsun 710            4 3.85 2.320 18.61  1

Here's a base R alternative but there's probably a better way:
cbind(mtcars[, 'cyl'],  mtcars[, 5:8])

mtcars originally:
                                          5     6     7  8
                     mpg cyl  disp  hp drat    wt  qsec vs am gear carb
Mazda RX4           21.0   6 160.0 110 3.90 2.620 16.46  0  1    4    4
Mazda RX4 Wag       21.0   6 160.0 110 3.90 2.875 17.02  0  1    4    4
Datsun 710          22.8   4 108.0  93 3.85 2.320 18.61  1  1    4    1

A: In the index part of subset select can use names
subset(data, select=c("MQ4", "FQ4", #RX STATUS
                               "MQ9", "FQ9", #ETHNICITY
                               "MQ10", "FQ10", #RACE
                               "MQ465", "FQ465", #SEX
                               "MQ13", "FQ13", #GENDER
                               "MQ14", "FQ14", #SEXORIENT
                               names(data)[163:310]
 ))

The issue arises because of the property of vector which can only have a single class.  So, when we have both character and integer,  the integers are converted to character and thus it will look for column names that matches the name "163" instead of the position index

Raf Simons SS20: Here's Everything That Went Down
Paris Fashion Week is where the industry's best houses, brands and designers debut their new collections, collaborations, and products.
Raf Simons SS20 Was a Revengeful Commentary on Life After Calvin Klein
By Christopher Morency in Style
Highsnobiety / Eva Al Desnudo
No show notes or press interviews with the Belgian designer backstage left Raf Simons' Spring/Summer 2020 collection up for interpretation.
Without saying anything himself, the message was clear.
It's been seven months since Simons parted ways with Calvin Klein where he spent less than two years as the American mega brand's chief creative officer – shy of two years into the role.
He left his position eight months earlier than expected after the company stated "It decided on a new brand direction that differs from Simmons' creative vision."
At the time the exit hardly came as a surprise for those working in the fashion industry, but it made clear how ruthless and business-driven the global fashion industry has become.
With lead times shortening and consumers expecting new product at the speed of Instagram, there is little room, or time, for creatives to do their jobs. It's something Raf has expressed his disapproval of since he left his post as creative director at Christian Dior in 2015.
So for this collection, the first one Simons fully developed after his departure at Calvin, it was his turn to speak. And he had a lot to say.
The Americana themes Simons once so heavily referenced at Calvin had turned sinister now that he was gone. Tops with stripes and stars from the American flag were covered with thick paint and texts like "Stone(d) America", both a comment on his experience in the country as well as the ridiculous political state of the nation itself. During his time at Calvin, the designer always looked at the country's current affairs through the eyes of its pop culture like 1980s horror films, pop art and musical subcultures.
That story didn't end today, with prairie dresses featuring sewn on patches and needles referring to his ongoing work in progress. Meanwhile, protective gloves, chunky granddad knitwear and the space boots (the show was held 45 minutes from Paris in the test facility of ESIEE University, the school of technological innovation) referred to his earlier collections at the American fashion house. As did David Bowie's "This Is Not America" soundtrack that had played earlier at Raf's debut Fall/Winter 2017 show for Calvin Klein. A voice saying "Fascist America" blasted through the speakers a minute later, then came horror film music.
The hundreds of office chairs wrapped up in black plastic foil that served as the show's setting might have well been Raf's response to corporate America. It was very clear his love affair with the country had ended. "My Own Antwerp" patches on sweats indicated that his true home was never meant to be overseas.
Back in Europe, he got the love he deserved and could be grounded again. The collection went back to the designer's early counter-culture roots, where things don't have to be polished and strictly driven by merchandising and marketing teams. It's the era of clothing loyal Raf fans still feel nostalgic about and make some Raf items resale for over $25,000 on the secondary market.
Impeccable tailoring in a bright color palette, large tailoring, gender-fluid sleeves vests, deconstructed knitwear that is always too big or too small, heavy uniform workwear, casual dress shoes, and his political collaborations with Peter de Potter are what make Raf, Raf. His tight inner-circle including collaborator Sterling Ruby, right-hand man Matthieu Blazy, photographer Willy Vanderperre, and CEO Bianca Quetz Luzi were all present, as were long-time muses Luca Lemaire and Jonas Gloer who both walked the show.
It's this aesthetic and accompanying community that has attracted his loyal following to the designer from the very start and will make them stick with him for years to come.
Today Raf got his say, and showed everybody that he didn't need Calvin, Calvin always needed him.

Лал-и Пашто () — исторический драгоценный камень, красная благородная шпинель, которая на данный момент экспонируется в Национальной сокровищнице Центрального Банка Ирана. Её масса составляет 270 карат. На нижней стороне камня есть семь гравировок с именами владельцев, среди которых имя могольского падишаха Джахангира. Это свидетельствует о том, что Лал-и Пашто некогда находился в руках династии Великих Моголов и был захвачен Надир-шахом во время его Индийского похода при разграблении Дели. Впоследствии Надир-шах носил этот камень на нарукавной повязке.

Название камня переводится, как «шпинель пехотинца». Оно может быть связано с традиционной восточной классификацией шпинели по качеству, которая выделяет классы пехотинцев, всадников, везиров, амиров и так далее, до «королевского камня».

About Target (NYSE:TGT) Stock
Target Corporation has a long history dating back to 1902. The company began as Goodfellows Dry Goods, operated by George Dalton, and later changed its name via a progression of mergers and acquisitions. The first "Target" store was opened in Roseville, Minnesota in 1962 as the discount division of the parent company. The idea was discount or low-priced items could still be fashionable and desirable. After meeting great success in the home territory, the concept went public in the late 1960s was later expanded on a national level during the 1980s. Target Corporation is now the 7th largest retailer in the US and is projected to bring in more than $113 billion in revenue for fiscal 2023.
The department stores were shed in 2004 so today Target operates as a general merchandise retailer that serves on-trend items at discounted prices. It is known as a big box retailer and is a member of the S&P 500. The company listed about 2,000 stores in mid-2022 and had plans for growth. The company offers an assortment of everyday, household, and food goods in a bright and cheery atmosphere. It has set itself apart from other low-priced retailers as the chic choice for savvy shoppers. The company's stated purpose is to help families discover the joy of everyday life and it does so by offering quality products that families can afford.
The company sells its products through a chain of stores as well as eCommerce. eCommerce is about 20% of Target's total revenue and was boosted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Services like delivery, same-day pickup, and access to thousands of necessary and discretionary items are also driving adoption. Target also offers amenities like cafes and opticians, and it hosts Starbucks inside the stores.
Target Corporation has paid and increased its dividend for more than 5 decades. The company issued its 53rd consecutive distribution increase in calendar 2022 bringing the total annual payout to $4.32. In late October 2022, the payout was worth 2.7% in yield and came with a 40% payout ratio and a 9% distribution compound annual growth rate.

Fort Hall Business Council member Lee Juan Tyler talks about traditional male roles.
FORT HALL — The Victim's Assistance Program hosted a Domestic Abuse Cultural awareness event October 25 to educate those working in Domestic Violence organizations, also for community members, and anyone else who was interested in understanding working with the Native American community.
To start off the day was a prayer by Jason Butler, followed by words of encouragement from Miss Sho-Ban Sequoia Pahvitse, and a welcome from the VAP director Audrey Jim, as well as Fort Hall Business Council member Donna Thompson, who said it is important to identify and be aware, when domestic abuse is happening.
THHS Director Ann Lindroth Jim, welcomed all, and also provided statistics for domestic violence in the Native American community. Lindroth Jim says, "Native American women will experience violence at rates of 50 percent higher than any other race." Up to 10 million children in the Native American community will witness some form of violence, annually. She said when people who go through domestic violence, they need to let people know that something is happening to them, because it may one day save their lives. She listed all of the departments that one can utilize the services. She would like to see more programs become available and/or additional services to teach young people about everyday living, such as teaching about finances, and even relationships. She said many do not know what is expected of a young adult, and would like to teach them about these things and provide services.
Matthew West presented on Cultural Competency. He is tired of seeing people put a "band aid" on domestic violence, he wants to see more done. He said there are not many programs that are cultural competent — many of the participants were from programs from Blackfoot, Pocatello, and other local areas. West identified all the different cultures in South East Idaho, and encourages all to learn as much as they can while working in their specific fields. He asked all "what is cultural competency? It is congruent behaviors, that make you aware of, and to make it easier to work with. You are looking at a culture of a people, that belief of a people and then you take the ability to recognize that, and put it in your program and become proficient and effective in using a person's culture." He said anyone who has to work with different cultures as well as Native people should learn some things, to be culturally sensitive and helpful when working with each particular culture. Participants should know and learn somewhat of a background on the people you are working with. He talked about the Shoshone Bannock Tribes, and how fortunate the Tribes in Fort Hall are a truly blessed people adding many forces are out there who want to see the Tribes fail, but many working for the Tribes are working to make sure it does not happen. West said all the departments within the Tribes, are very accurate in working with cultural competency. He ended with saying we all need to think outside the box, and to recognize that we all need to work together to be efficient, and to provide excellent services to all the people of different cultures.
He also commended the Tribes for creating a domestic abuse ordinance, which has been in place since 2006.
at the Domestic Abuse Cultural Awareness event.
Tribal Council Member Lee Juan Tyler presented on the men's traditional role with a slideshow while telling about the ceremonies and events he was involved in and what men were expected to participate in. He also said the men were supposed to raise and teach their sons about respecting women, and always have respect for them. The men's role was to make sacrifices for women and children. The men's role also was to get along with other men to promote good well being. Years ago before alcohol came around, there was not abuse towards women. He believes that alcohol has played a big role in the abuse of women and children. Tyler gave a small history of the Shoshone and Bannock people, and showed appreciation for his ancestors.
Denise Peshlakai, BS MSW talked about domestic abuse as a part of historical to current changes in Native Teachings. She started off with statistics and the history of the Native people. She said domestic violence is a learned behavior, batterers learn through observation of others, family members or friends. She explained men and women are victimized at similar rates in different ways. They have experienced similar levels of psychological aggression and physical violence by intimate partners. Native women experience higher levels of sexual violence. Victimization rates are higher for Native and Alaskan Native women. American Indian and Alaska female victims are more likely to need services but less likely to have access to medical and legal services.
During a physical assault native women were more likely to be injured and require medical care, furthermore, persons not of the same race commit 70 percent of violent victimizations experienced by Native American women. Most incidents of violence are not reported due to the belief nothing will be done. Peshlakai mentions the importance of teaching traditional practices to the younger generations, teach them life is not a competition, nor do we practice violence towards others. She believes that teaching respect and compassion for others, and to show the value of women in tribal society, and by supporting all tribal members, it will make for a positive guide for all of the community.
Charlene Wahtomy spoke on women's traditional roles, and also recounts her personal experience with domestic violence. She remembers her father who was a WWII veteran, was the one who helped her with the trauma she went through. They would often go on walks in the mountains, and would share their stories and feelings. She also said there are not many men in the household anymore, it has been the women who have to step in and raise the children as the mother and the father to become the main caregiver.
After lunch, Louise Dixey, Tribal Language and Cultural Resource director educated the participants about the history and culture of the Tribes. She tells the participants we still practice cultural events from years ago and the importance of the events. She explained how extremely important it is to keep practicing our language, and the importance of teaching the children at a young age, so the language will stick with them. She showed photos of all the cultural events from this past year, as well as the classes they have hosted for the community. She explained how the Sho-Ban Tribes use the Fort Bridger Treaty everyday, and the importance of it. Dixey ended her portion of the event by reading a poem to everyone.
Kermit and Annie Bacon speak about spiritual healing through Native practices.
Kermit and Annie Bacon educated all on healing domestic abuse through the ways of sweat lodge and Native American Church. They just returned from an 80 mile relay run, and remind all that exercise also can help with the negative aspects in life and creates an endorphin rush that helps many heal. They both shared with everyone they grew up in homes with domestic abuse and said they tried to keep close with the positive influence people in their families. They provided a slide show, which showed different spiritual methods they use, as well as the importance of burning cedar and sweet grass. A volunteer walked among the crowd to show how the items look. They remind the participants, how important it is to practice traditional ways of healing and said different families and programs in Fort Hall use them as well.
After the speakers were finished, TBC Member Lee Juan Tyler thanked all the participants for coming.
All the participants were asked to participate in a round dance, and the group finished the day by giving out door prizes, provided by the Victims Assistance program.

Well, I personally didn't know much about the Biblical roots of D.H. in Army basic training, but I had a terrible flat foot problem which caused me to pray in desperation. Some kind of mysterious strength just flowed thru the pain while I was marching & I was able to continue on. That convinced me. See "My Miracles" link 33. I experienced and witnessed other D.H. as a young believer in Christ. Years later my elderly aunt shared her D.H. story. She was in the convent preparing to be a nun when T.B. got her lungs – about 1940. Her mother & those nuns prayed for her healing which came to pass. She couldn't stay in the convent so got married, but was advised by doctors not to have children. Well, she had a healthy nine, and lived to be 87.
For the sake of inspiration there are two cases of D.H. in the gospels which seemed to challenge even Jesus Christ. Those are the daughter of Jairus, a synagogue leader, Mark chapter 5, and Lazarus, a personal friend of Jesus, John chapter 11. Both times Christ wasn't able to get to the sick soon enough & they died waiting for his visit. How sad – but according to scripture Jesus raised both back to life. That's way beyond healing in my opinion. Maybe the message is this – if J.C. is involved, you're covered even if "worse comes to worse". Now I want to believe these awesome stories because believing the WORD is the essence of saving faith. Too many today want to scoff at the WORD & its truth which kills faith, and blocks divine healing, or getting anything else from God.
In today's world that board of elders might throw ice water on the seekers faith if they don't believe in D.H. That's why it's important to be in a Bible believing church. To receive Divine Healing we need to be close to Christ and His Word. Choose Jesus, He is alive.

Q: Upload images on disk and save image name on mysql DB with php I have a MySQL db, with 2 tables, albums and photos:
albums has  id and name, photos has id, album_id, photo_name.
and I have the following script:
<?php

$albumsQuery = $mysqli->query( "SELECT `album_id`, `album_name` FROM `albums` ORDER BY `album_name` ASC" );

if( isset( $_FILES["albumPhoto"] )  )
{
    move_uploaded_file( $_FILES["albumPhoto"]["tmp_name"], "photos/" .$_FILES["albumPhoto"]["name"] );
}

if( isset( $_POST["album_name"] ) )
{
    $uploadQuery = $mysqli->query( "INSERT INTO `photos` ( `photo_id`, `photos`.`photo_id_album`, `photos`.`photo_name` )
    VALUES ( NULL,'" . $mysqli->real_escape_string( $_POST["album_name"] ) . "','" . $mysqli->real_escape_string( $_FILES["albumPhoto"]["name"] ) . "' )" )
    or die( $mysqli->error );

    $upload = $uploadQuery->fetch_array( MYSQLI_ASSOC );
}
?>

The image is uploaded on disk, but I can't get the image name on DB.

A: I wrote some code while you answered your own question so I'll just post it anyway:

$albumsQuery = $mysqli->query('SELECT album_id, album_name FROM albums ORDER BY album_name');

// assume image not uploaded
$imagePath = null;

// if a photo is being uploaded
if (isset($_FILES["albumPhoto"])) {
    $source = $_FILES["albumPhoto"]["tmp_name"];
    $target = sprintf('photos/', $_FILES["albumPhoto"]["name"]);

    // try to move the file
    $move = move_uploaded_file($source, $target);
    if ($move !== true) {
        throw new Exception('Could not move the uploaded file: ' . $_FILES["albumPhoto"]["name"]);
    }
}

// attach the image to the specified album
if (isset($_POST["album_name"])) {
    $stmt = 'INSERT INTO photos (photo_id_album, photo_name)
             VALUES (?, ?)';
    $stmt->bind_param('ss', $albumName, $photoName);

    // values of bound variables
    $albumName = $_POST["album_name"];
    $photoName = $_FILES["albumPhoto"]["name"];

    // insert the record
    $stmt->execute();
    $stmt->close();
}

Also, it's not a good idea to use the original filename as users might want to upload multiple files with the same name into the same album over the time. Consider using hashes or prepending the album id to the file name.
And add a few more error checks!

The Monday After: Hoover Sweepers were baseball champions in 1919
Gary Brown CantonRep.com Correspondent @gbrownREP
Canton team won national semi-pro title.
The Hoover Sweepers were the best team in semi-pro baseball a century ago.
Representing Canton in the National Baseball Federation's Class AAA, the Hoover team was bats and balls above a handful of other Midwest teams that competed in the end-of-the-season championship classic. They would beat Massillon in the first round of the tournament, then go on to defeat a team from Akron, and finally emerge victorious over the Pittsburgh squad in the final championship series.
Other teams that competed in the N.B.F. championship playoffs -- considered to be just a rung below professional baseball on the ladder of skill levels -- were from Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati in Ohio; Detroit; and Johnstown, Pa.
"The final series is booked for September 27 and 28," said an article in The Evening Repository on July 8, 1919, which looked ahead to the national series in September. "Canton, if successful in its previous games, will be called upon to tackle the other surviving candidate for the national championship."
Met the test
In both foresight in 1919 and now in hindsight, the Sweepers -- the factory they were named after was in North Canton but they represented the city to the south -- were expected to emerge victorious over Massillon. And, even when matched up against the team from Akron they had an historical edge, according to the Repository. The Canton team almost always was the best of the pair of city squads in its heyday during the years just before the 1920s.
"Canton has participated in three previous N.B.F. series and has always been able to eliminate Akron," the newspaper said in an article published on Sept. 12, 1919, the day before the Canton-Akron series began. "Back in 1916 the Bergers of Canton defeated the Goodyears rather easily and in 1917 the Standard Parts club handed the Goodyears another lacing. Last fall the Central Steels, winners in the Canton shop circuit, eliminated the General Tires, who now have a chance to establish a precedent by eliminating Canton. But, the chance does not appear to be a very big one."
Admittedly, it was boastful hometown sports reporting. But ultimately, the prediction was accurate.
Canton beat Akron 5-2 in the first game on Saturday Sept. 12, 1919. Although Akron beat the Sweepers 4-2 in the second game at League Park, Hoover defeated the General Tire team in the rubber match, 10-1.
Canton vs. Pittsburgh
Even against Pittsburgh, Canton was expected to excel with a team that stretched the term "semi-pro" to its athletic limit.
"Featuring a lineup studded with experienced ex-professional players, including (Capt. Peg) Evans, first baseman Frank Gygli, center fielder Harry Storch, and catcher Pete Hildebrand, the Sweepers expected to do well in the best-of-three final series," said a summary of the Sweeper's championship effort written by local historian Jim Holl and passed on to the Repository recently by Doug Wechter.
Another one of the Sweepers' best players spurned a chance to rise to the professional leagues in 1919 -- waiting to join a Detroit team in the spring of 1920 -- so he could pursue a championship with the Hoover squad.
"Jack Kolp, North Canton boy who has been playing with the Hoover Sweepers this season, became a big leaguer Saturday night when he signed a contract with the Detroit Americans," reported the Repository on Sept. 14, 1919.
Detroit scout Billy Doyle came to Canton and saw Kolp in action -- as an infielder that day, although other games he also played for the team as a pitcher.
"Kolp played short and fielded his position well," the Repository said. "He was asked to report to the Tigers at once, but obtained permission to remain with the Hoovers the rest of this season."
Playing as champions
The victory against Akron set up the championship series pitting the Hoover Sweepers against Pittsburgh's American Bridge Company team. "Ambridge," as the team was called, proved to be a worthy opponent when the series opened on Sept. 27, 1919.
"Hoovers Lose First Game Of N.B.F. Series To Ambridge 2-1," a headline on the sports page of the Repository reported the next day. "Error On Top Of 2 Hits Proves Costly; Kolp To Twirl Game Her Today."
The accompanying story told baseball fans that Hoover players had their "backs against the well known wall," but they would be at home for the second game on Sunday afternoon game at League Park."
"The Hoover Sweepers, representing Canton, will have to win the remaining two games of their series with the Ambridge club, of Pittsburgh, in order to carry away the 1919 championship of the National Baseball Federation."
Victory was achieved in that second game against Ambridge by a 12-3 score.
"Hard Clouting," was the difference, the newspaper said, adding in a headline, "Homer Is Winning Punch."
Winning the series
The third and deciding game between Canton and Pittsburgh was played the following Saturday, Oct. 4, and the team was transporting its fans to Pennsylvania to lend support.
"They have engaged a special train for the occasion, to carry both team and rooters," the Repository reported during the week before the game. "Accommodations have been reserved for 125."
The newspaper said that "it is certain that the Hoovers will have to bat against Lefty Hughes, who last Saturday in the first battle of the series held them to two hits and won his game."
That deciding contest in Pittsburgh was long and exciting.
"By battling tooth and nail for 14 innings ... the Hoover Sweepers ... won the championship of the National Baseball Federation, the highest honor outside of organized ball," an article in the Repository said on Sunday Oct. 5, 1919.
Holl's history recalls the manner in which the Sweepers satisfied their supporters with a win.
"When Dummy Boyle raced home with the winning run on Pete Schisler's single in the 14th inning, a celebration erupted," wrote "The Hoover Sweepers had just claimed the National Baseball Federation (semi-pro) championship with an exciting 6-5 win, defeating American Bridge Company's team on its home grounds. ... Captain 'Peg' Evans raised the trophy high as the team celebrated the hard-won victory on that glorious October afternoon."

Q: System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement and returning an IEnumerable of Active Directory user I'm trying to query Active Directory and return an IEnumerable but with properties like Title and EmailAddress, which aren't shown doing PrincipalSearcher.Findll(). If I use PrincipalSearcher.FindOne(), it has much more properties (still not Title, though) so I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing differently or how to get the info I need out. I've worn out Google trying to find more info and it seems like UserPrincipal.GetUnderlyingObject() might be the ticket but I'm not understanding how to involve that into a foreach loop in order to populate it into the List.
    public class ADUser
    {
        public string SamAccountName { get; set; }
        public string DisplayName { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }

        public IEnumerable<ADUser> Get(string username)
        {
            var users = new List<ADUser>();

            var principalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "domain.com");
            var userPrincipal = new UserPrincipal(principalContext)
            {
                SamAccountName = username
            };

            var principalSearcher = new PrincipalSearcher(userPrincipal);

            foreach (var user in principalSearcher.FindAll())
            {
                users.Add(new ADUser
                {
                    SamAccountName = user.SamAccountName,
                    DisplayName = user.DisplayName,
                    //Title = user.Title //Won't work, no Title property
                });
            }

            return users;
        }
    }

This works but only returns a fraction of the properties .FindOne() does, but if I do FindOne(), I won't be able to search for partial usernames, such as "jsm" returning "John Smith" and "James Smoth".

A: The short answer is that you can do this:
        foreach (var user in principalSearcher.FindAll())
        {
            var userDe = (DirectoryEntry) user.GetUnderlyingObject();
            users.Add(new ADUser
            {
                SamAccountName = user.SamAccountName,
                DisplayName = user.DisplayName,
                Title = userDe.Properties["title"]?.Value.ToString()
            });
        }

This is part of the reason I never use the AccountManagement namespace anymore. It uses DirectoryEntry in the background and hides its complexity to make the basic things easier for you, but you still have to revert to using DirectoryEntry directly for some things. And it actually performs slower than using DirectoryEntry/DirectorySearcher directly.
Here's an example of how you can do the same thing via DirectorySearcher. It is a little more complicated, but I bet you'll find it performs faster:
public class ADUser
{
    public string SamAccountName { get; set; }
    public string DisplayName { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }

    public IEnumerable<ADUser> Get(string username)
    {
        var users = new List<ADUser>();

        var search = new DirectorySearcher(
            new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://domain.com"),
            $"(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person)(sAMAccountName={username}))",
            new [] { "sAMAccountName", "displayName", "title" } //The attributes you want to see
        ) {
            PageSize = 1000 //If you're expecting more than 1000 results, you need this otherwise you'll only get the first 1000 and it'll stop
        };

        using (var results = search.FindAll()) {
            foreach (SearchResult result in results)
            {
                users.Add(new ADUser
                {
                    SamAccountName = result.Properties.Contains("sAMAccountName") ? result.Properties["sAMAccountName"][0].ToString() : null,
                    DisplayName = result.Properties.Contains("displayName") ? result.Properties["displayName"][0].ToString() : null,
                    Title = result.Properties.Contains("title") ? result.Properties["title"][0].ToString() : null
                });
            }
        }
        return users;
    }

Das Paläogen (von  und  génos 'Abstammung, Zeitalter') ist das unterste chronostratigraphische System und die älteste geochronologische Periode des Känozoikums und dauerte von vor etwa  Millionen Jahren bis zum Beginn des Neogens vor etwa  Millionen Jahren. Paläogen und Neogen wurden früher zum System des Tertiärs zusammengefasst. Die Bezeichnung "Tertiär" wird allerdings mittlerweile von der International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) nicht mehr verwendet und Paläogen und Neogen werden inzwischen im hierarchischen Rang von Systemen verwendet.

Zu Beginn des Paläogens kam es nach dem Aussterben der Nicht-Vogel-Dinosaurier zur Weiterentwicklung der Vögel und einer beträchtlichen Differenzierung der Säugetiere, die von ehemals kleinen Formen in der vergangenen Kreidezeit zu den beherrschenden Landtieren wurden. Gegen Ende des Paläogens waren die Rüsseltiere die größten Landsäugetiere. Die einzelnen Kontinente waren anfangs isoliert. Über eine Landbrücke zwischen Afrika und Eurasien, die sich vor 27 Millionen Jahren bildete, konnten sich die Tiere jedoch wieder weit verbreiten. Nur Australien und Antarktika nahmen eine andere Entwicklung.

Unterteilung

Das Paläogen ist weiter unterteilt in:

 System: Paläogen (– mya)
 Serie: Oligozän (– mya)
 Stufe: Chattium (– mya)
 Stufe: Rupelium (– mya)
 Serie: Eozän (– mya)
 Stufe: Priabonium (– mya)
 Stufe: Bartonium (– mya)
 Stufe: Lutetium (– mya)
 Stufe: Ypresium (– mya)
 Serie: Paläozän (– mya)
 Stufe: Thanetium (– mya)
 Stufe: Seelandium (– mya)
 Stufe: Danium (– mya)

Paläogeographie

Im Paläogen nahmen die Kontinente in etwa ihre heutigen Positionen ein. Nord- und Südamerika waren noch nicht durch Mittelamerika verbunden, auch Afrika und Eurasien waren noch durch die kontinuierlich schmaler werdende Tethys getrennt. Australien und Antarktika hatten sich bereits gelöst, befanden sich aber noch nahe beieinander. Die Indische Platte kollidierte mit der Eurasischen und es bildete sich der Himalaya. Große Flächen in Nordamerika, Eurasien und Afrika verlandeten, aus der Inselwelt Europa begann sich langsam eine zusammenhängende Landfläche zu bilden.

The Temple is already built.
In 1912, Abdu'l-Bahá announced that the Temple is already built after having put in place the corner store of the Chicago House of Worship. How can a Temple, with no walls, structures or doors be already built with one stone? Abdu'l-Bahá also said that peace "will be established in this century, It will be universal in the twentieth century. All nations will be forced into it." similarly to the Temple, how can peace have been established when there are refugee crisis, extremist groups growing stronger, unimaginable poverty and suffering?". Perhaps a fresh viewpoint of "evolutionary processes", which "stands in contrast to pre-occupation with the short term in the wider society today,"  will aid in understanding this outwardly seemingly contradiction. Hopefully this semi-compilation can provide some insights. You can read the text below or view it below or The Temple is already built.
If this proves to be too much, try this Bahai Elections – A Pocket Compilation. Finally, if you are elected to serve the Local or National Spiritual Assembly, it might be worthwhile to read about the Duties of Officers of an Assembly.
Bahai Elections, be it for electing delegates, Local, Regional or National Spiritual Assembly Members, is very different from what is common today in the world. It might be valuable to, in these coming months of elections, have a "pocket compilation" about Bahai Elections.
I hope this compilation on National Bahai Conventions, can help the friends to better understanding and appreciating the uniqueness of Bahai Elections and Conventions. Although almost all the quotes refers to National Conventions and Election of the National Spiritual Assembly, I believe it applies to Unit Conventions and other Elections within the Bahai Administration. You can find the compilation here Compilation on National Bahai Conventions.


Back from a 6 week trip to England and now beginning to figure out what a post-CBC life is going to be like ...and what life without Gord Downie is like.
I was in Blockley, England when I heard the news - and q called me in the rare moment I was in a spot with cell coverage. You can hear that here. But it felt so strange not to be home for that. But the Facebook group helped - and all your comments were comforting.
We all want to talk about him - what he meant to us individually and as a country. So this Pondercast is all about Gord. As promised, every pondercast is different. For this one, I just turned on the mic and started talking.
When we lose someone important - the rest of us huddle together and tell stories of them. To keep them alive in our hearts I'm guessing. To help process their absence.
I listened to Gord's posthumous album Introduce Yerself before heading to my studio to record this. It's a wonderful album, I wish I could play it for you here - but I don't have the rights to be able to do that. So when you've listened to this Pondercast - head here to watch a trailer for the album and you can buy the album here.
I'll tell the story of these photographs that hang in my apartment. Gord Downie's notes on Gordon Lightfoot. I could write a book about what I think when I read these snippets of Gord on Gord. I probably will sometime. But in the meantime, let's tell stories of Gord Downie and try to understand what we have lost.

Q: Four newest images 2x2 with PHP I'm trying to reuse some PHP that I found on here, but I don't have much experience with PHP and became stuck.
When uploading images from a camera and I'd like to be able to display the 4 newest images as large as possible while fitting on a screen without scrolling.  2 wide, 2 high: dividing the full screen resolution into 4 quadrants.  The initial PHP prints them down in a column (by adding a break after each image in the loop), and I now have them printing horizontally as well. However, they are too small to reasonably view from a distance.  I'm not sure how to print two, create a line break, and then print the last two.  Or if there is a way to do it with a table and have one image in each td
Here's where I am right now:
<?php

$images = glob('images/*.{jpg,jpeg}', GLOB_BRACE); //formats to look for

$num_of_files = 4; //number of images to display

foreach($images as $image)
{
     $num_of_files--;

     if($num_of_files > -1)
       echo "";
     else
       break;
}
?>

I'm using some CSS to add z-index, but this is the basic code.

A: to print 2 and then a line break and then 2 you could use
  foreach($images as $image) {
     $num_of_files--;

     if($num_of_files > -1){
       echo '';
       if($num_of_files % 2 == 0)
         echo "
";
     }
     else
       break;
  }

And see this SO post about sorting the glob
glob() - sort by date

A: Add some css;
img {
    border: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
    display: inline;
    width: 50%;
}

Would be a good start.

A: I've tried to clean up your code and make it a touch more generic:
<?php

$images = glob('images/*.{jpg,jpeg}', GLOB_BRACE); //formats to look for
$images_printed = 0;
$images_per_row = 2;

foreach($images as $image) {
   echo "";
   $images_printed++;
   if ($images_printed % $images_per_row == 0) {
      echo "
";
   }
}

Note that leaving off ?> at the end of your code file will prevent accidental inclusion of whitespace characters that can otherwise throw off formatting.
