Les relations entre le Bangladesh et les Philippines sont les relations bilatérales de la république populaire du Bangladesh et de la république des Philippines.

Histoire
Les Philippines ont reconnu le Bangladesh le  et ont établi des liens diplomatiques. Elles ont été l'un des premiers pays à reconnaître le Bangladesh après son indépendance en 1971. Le Bangladesh a une ambassade résidente aux Philippines et les Philippines ont un ambassadeur résident au Bangladesh. Le Bangladesh a ouvert une ambassade aux Philippines en 1981.

Visites d'État
Le premier président du Bangladesh, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, s'est rendu à Manille en 1973, en revenant d'une viste à Tokyo, et y a exprimé sa gratitude au peuple des Philippines pour sa reconnaissance du Bangladesh. L'ancien président Hossain Mohammad Ershad a effectué une visite d'État aux Philippines du 9 au . Fidel V. Ramos s'est rendu au Bangladesh du 5 au  et la Première ministre Sheikh Hasina a visité la République des Philippines la même année en septembre à l'invitation de la présidente Corazon Aquino, mère de l'actuel président Benigno S. Aquino-III.

Relations économiques
En , une délégation de 10 membres du  (Chambre de commerce et d'industrie Bangladesh-Philippines - BPCCI) s'est rendue à New Dehli et y a rencontré des membres du Philippine Trade and Investment Center (Centre de commerce et d'investissement des Philippines - PTIC) pour promouvoir les affaires entre les deux pays.

Le Bangladesh a importé des marchandises pour une valeur de  de dollars US et a importé des marchandises des Philippines pour une valeur de  pour l'année fiscale 2013-2014. Le Bangladesh est le troisième plus grand partenaire commercial des Philippines en Asie du Sud.

This monitor is ultra rare, great collector item!
"TYPE 1081" continental Europe "230V~50Hz 75W"
"TYPE 1081 UK" United Kingdom "230V~50Hz"
"TYPE 1081 AU" Australia "240V±10% AC 50Hz"
in the PAL regions of the world.
The yoke manufacturer the same as at 2080.
It seems it is a Commodore 1084S-D2 with a "1083S-D1"
There is a common false belief saying that the 1083S-P1 is a SECAM monitor. This is false because 1083S-P1 have no composite or separate video input. 1083S-P1 was sold in France only to avoid the SECAM ↔ PAL color problems like connecting a SECAM Commodore 64 to a PAL monitor (SECAM Commodore 64 display greyscale picture on a PAL monitor). SECAM Commodore 64 was made for SECAM TVs.
Some say on the net that the 1084ST has made by Philips.
but this monitor has made in Malaysia.
This model was sold only in Australia and New Zealand.
Because the power consumption is 26 Watt you should use an adapter at least 2.2A for the 12V DC input.
"The input sockets takes a pair of RCA connectors, for mono audio and mono (composite) video. I was initially using this to view 80-column C128 displays. I did use the item with various Amiga models since it was my smallest/lightest monitor & I could double-up for displays when performing video grabs (DigiView & VidiAmiga 24 RT Pro) with the D23 port.
As to the resolution it could display Amiga PAL 640x512 and went right to the corner-curves of the CRT. The unit was a handy workhorse and I tried to display NTSC VHS 50Hz at one time . . . actually viewing a shrunken image (that rolled) on it back when I had no NTSC-capable displays. Australia's analog TV is PAL 60Hz. I can testify that broadcast television looks quite strange in orange-screen monochrome!"
This model has sold only in Canada.
"Note that the Commodore nameplate on the front does not fit neatly into a recess as on the Samtron model; instead it is pasted on top and is not flush with the monitor surface. I assume that it covers the manufacturer's name. On the back it is more obvious that the Commodore nameplate is poorly applied to the identification logo."

I think this is a modified small TV from a Korean manufacturer.
The 200-240V version is a bit rare.
H4ICM14001 Essentially a 1902 with the digital RGBi circuit replaced with an analog RGB circuit. The mode switch on the back switches between "high sync digital RGBi" and "analog RGB".
ASJ9PO2002 not ASJ9P02002 :) Essentially a 1084 with a high persistence phosphor tube to reduce flicker in hi-res modes. This monitor is therefore not suitable with fast moving images such as games or animation which will appear blurry.
high persistence tube of the monitor.
It seems this model was sold only in UK.
The Ranger lines re-badged by AYDIN CONTROLS (UK) for Commodore UK (Aydin has also "Ranger" line: "Ranger 5015LP"; "Ranger 5021"; "Ranger 5017" and later models too). These monitors manufactured by Iiyama Electric Co., Ltd. Japan. IDEK/Iiyama own models in the "MULTIFLAT" line: "MF-5015"; "MF-5015A"; "MF-5021" and "MF-5017". These monitors are FST (Flat Square Tube).
AYDIN marketed it's model (5015LP) as longer phosphor persistence, but original Iiyama (IDEK) models known as short phosphor persistence.
"In addition to the 5017SP, IDEK makes the MF-5017LP, which uses a long-persistence phosphor. Long-persistence monitors substantially reduce interlace flicker, which may make the 5017LP the best choice to use with the 800x600 interlaced Super72 display mode. IDEK also makes the short-persistence monitor 15-inch (MF-5015) and 21-inch (MF-5021A) models."
So AYDIN pack its AYDIN RANGER 5021 model for Commodore. But AYDIN is a UK company but this monitor has made in Japan, and AYDIN RANGER 5021 looks full the same as IDEK Iiyama MF-5021 (BBoAH (David Ward) has written the same model number).
So Commodore do business with AYDIN who sells restickered IDEK/Iiyama MF-5021 monitors. This iiyama picture I have get from PC Magazine 1992-Jan-14. Also I think Commodore (and AYDIN) RANGER 21 monitors are have sold only in UK and probably only to people buying Amiga 3000.
Now clear that the manufacturer is IDEK/Iiyama and the "case design" is IDEK/Iiyama MF-5021 (21inch FST) but we would say some word about Commodore UK have no direct contact to IDEK/Iiyama but they has made deal with AYDIN UK. In the year I'm not sure because the PC Magazine 1992-Jan-14 that show MF-5021 infos shows 4 newer 21" models too. So the 1992 must be the last year for this model. Iiyama history writes: 1989 Introduced 21" FST (https://iiyama.com/gb_en/company/) So the year must be between 1989 and 1992. An Amiga World user guide from 1991 show AYDIN RANGER 5021 (http://encanta.avalonsoftware.org/idgaw/guia91/hard_equipos.php). But problem that iiyama says the resolution is 1024x768 but this guide says 1280x1280. BBoAH mention this monitor as 21inch FST as iiyama in the history 21" FST too. FST is an iiyama term that means "Flat Square Tube". The SX-64 is a very high quality computer. Components and modules for the SX-64 were manufactured by several Japanese companies and then assembled by Commodore. Manufactured by Microvitec for Amiga Technologies.

2011-Feb-06: I have upload the 1081 manual and 1084S-D manuals; fill the dot pitch info for 1081 (from this manual); modified a little bit the 1084S-D resolution info; modified a little bit the 1070 resolution info; update the 1201 section very well.
2011-Mar-09: I have found a Commodore 1950 monitor on Australian eBay, I asked and I have got backlabel picture. I have never seen before 200-240V version of 1950. I have modified the 1950 sections, the 1950 page and the Commodore monitor compatibility matrix for 220-240V page.
2011-Mar-15: Made and upload the Commodore 1902A manual in PDF.
2011-Mar-19: I have bought an European 1701 manual. It is write "Hersteller" (manufacturer): "Victor Company of Japan, Ltd.". I remembered "NEC" not "JVC". Sorry for my mistake, I have replaced the tree "NEC" to "JVC". The European 1701 is later than North-American I also update this; release date of Commodore 1084-D changed from 1987 to 1988 according it's manual.
2011-Mar-20: Correcting differencies between the two Commodore monitor pages (the 12V DC input of the 1201 has missed from one of them); I have got a Hyundai HMM-1401 MDA/Hercules monitor manual. This model the same as the Commodore 1404 (except the power switch on the front on HMM-1401 but on the 1402 on back side). So 1402, 1404 and 1405 are made by Hyundai.
2011-May-10: I have all of the tree MFG codes for 1081 voltage versions so I have upload this data. Special thanks to sanpomaru!
2011-May-18: I have all of the tree MFG codes for 1084 (the original "boxy") voltage versions so I have upload this data. Special thanks to markline1100!
2011-May-18: I have got mfg number of the 1084 BSI. Special thanks to airey36!
2011-May-20: Research that result the 76BM13/05E is a UK version. This was not clear because the only I have found it in a continental Europe collection with replaced power cord (so the built in power cord with UK plug has replaced to continental EU plug). Special thanks for this research to Nagy Károly!

2011-Jun-09: An other type Commodore Amiga 1081 has added. This has different mfg code likely because Philips has not used own picture tube. The first piece of this type I have found on Italian eBay and the seller has asseverated that this is stereo (via SCART plug) but this is fals, Guru has also this type revision 1081 and it is mono (but have picture tube made by the Taiwanese Chunghwa Picture Tubes, LTD).
2011-Dec-27: Error correction on the "Commodore monitors by time" page: The "audio connector" field of the Commodore 1802 tall was missed and the raw was slipped from this field (all field show the entry of the next monitor) to the last item on this page (1084ST) which had no field.
2011-Dec-27: Commodore DM-14 (ADI DM-14) pictures from Germany. The case design the same as the 1403 and the A2024 case (so these are made by ADI also). For the Commodore DM-14 pictures special thanks to Detlef Böhler!
2012-May-06: Commodore 1960 and 1935 are made by LITE-ON according to Commodore 1960 SERVICE MANUAL; Service manual/schematic raw added.
2012-May-10: Uploading service manuals and schematics; Freshly scanned "76 BM13 & 76 BM23" users manual, special thanks to Jonas G.!
2012-Oct-02: I have merged the "220/240V" and the "240V" columns of the 1702 because the 1702 models sold in UK (special thanks this picture to jonnixx) and Australia (special thanks this picture to Tom Szabo) also have the 220/240 voltage switch on the back side of the monitor. I have also merged the 1801 and 1802 "tall" 220 and 240 versions.
2012-Oct-02: FCC ID for 1701/1702 and five MFG codes for 1702 and one for the 1070.

A version of this article appeared in the print edition of The Daily Star on March 14, 2018, on page 15.
There are no famous historical figures to discover in the Valle d'Itria in Italy's central Puglia, no city of note with theaters and great cathedrals. Instead, it's a quiet place of rolling green hills, meandering country roads, endless stone walls, earthy food and wine. But there is one magical, must-see attraction: stone cottages with conical roofs called trulli, grouped together in the town of Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The pleasure of the Valle d'Itria lies in timeless things: seasonal changes, the play of light on paddocks and olive orchards, the cascade of brilliantly pink almond blossoms in the spring, the mist and fog of winter, the solitary farmer working a field, bird song.
To reach water, wells must be dug 350 meters or more.
Despite the rocky ground, farming is not just doable, it thrives.
It's good for agriculture, but can make daily life unpleasant, with water dripping down the walls of homes and a feeling of dampness for much of the year.
Limestone structures are ubiquitous: castles, town walls, government edifices, churches.
Traditionally, trulli were simple homes for farmers and served agricultural purposes: a place to make wine, store tools and animals.

Q: Create 3-dimensional array from 2 dimensional array in matlab I would like to know how to generate a 3-d array from a 2-d array in matlab. My lack of understanding may simply be the result of not knowing the correct nomenclature.
I have a 2-dimensional array or matrix, A:
A = [12, 62, 93, -8, 22; 16, 2, 87, 43, 91; -4, 17, -72, 95, 6]

and I would like to add a 3rd dimension with the same values such that:
A(:,:,1) = 12    62    93    -8    22
           16     2    87    43    91
           -4    17   -72    95     6

and
A(:,:,2) = 12    62    93    -8    22
           16     2    87    43    91
           -4    17   -72    95     6

to
A(:,:,p) = 12    62    93    -8    22
           16     2    87    43    91
           -4    17   -72    95     6

how would I go about doing so in the most efficient way (I might have a much larger array where m = 100, n = 50, p= 1000 where A(m,n,p).

A: Try
 result = reshape(repmat(A,1,p),m,n,p)

Date of Incident: September 7, 2018
Time of Incident: 3:00 am
Location of Incident: Cabuyao City, Laguna
https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1029456/shabu-worth-p2m-seized-from-murder-suspect-2-others-dead-in-laguna-batangas
SAN PEDRO CITY – Police recovered suspected "shabu" (crystal meth) worth about P2 million from a man wanted for murder in Batangas City.
Batangas police director Sr. Supt. Edwin Quilates, in a report, said police went to suspect Jojo Mallorca's home in Barangay (village) Wawa to serve an arrest warrant for a murder case around 9:30 p.m. Thursday.
During the search, the police found about 300 grams of alleged shabu worth about P2 million in the suspect's pouch and a .45 caliber gun. Mallorca ranked third in the police's watchlist of drug personalities.
Still in Batangas, police shot and killed suspect Raymond Pateña in a buy-bust operation in Barangay Talaibon, Ibaan around midnight on Friday. This was after the suspect allegedly engaged law enforcers in a gunfight in an attempt to escape arrest.
The police recovered nine sachets of suspected shabu packed in an empty cigarette box and a .45 caliber gun.
In Cabuyao City, Laguna, another drug suspect, Leo Benitez, was also killed after shooting at undercover police during a drug operation in Barangay Mamatid, 3 a.m. Friday.

Meleager (Oudgrieks , Meléagros) is in de Griekse mythologie de zoon van Oeneus, koning van Calydon in Aetolië, en van Althaea. Als zijn vader wordt ook Ares genoemd.

Hij was een van de grote helden van zijn generatie en was een deelnemer aan de tocht der Argonauten.

Bij zijn geboorte had zijn moeder bezoek gekregen van de Moiren die haar zeiden dat haar zoon net zo lang zou leven als een bepaald houtblok dat in de haard lag te branden. Geschrokken nam Althaea het blok uit het vuur, doofde het, en sloot het weg.

Toen Oeneus op een keer was vergeten aan Artemis te offeren, zond zij een verwoestend everzwijn naar Calydon. Een grootscheepse klopjacht werd georganiseerd, waaraan naast een uitgelezen keur aan helden ook de jageres Atalanta deelnam. Atalanta verwondde het everzwijn als eerste, maar Meleager gaf de doodsteek. Meleager schonk het beest aan Atalanta, maar zijn ooms, de broers van zijn moeder, waren het hier niet mee eens. Na een hevige twist werden zij door Meleager gedood. Toen zij vernam dat haar broers vermoord waren, haalde Althaea overmand door woede en verdriet het houtblok tevoorschijn en gooide het in het vuur, met Meleagers dood tot gevolg.

In een alternatieve versie ontbrandde er na de moord op Meleagers ooms een strijd tussen de Aetoliërs en de Cureten, de landgenoten van de ooms. Omdat Meleager weigerde mee te vechten, kwamen de Aetoliërs in de verdrukking, maar na hevig aandringen van zijn vrouw mengde hij zich toch in de strijd. De Aetoliërs wonnen, maar Meleager werd geveld door een pijl van Apollo, Artemis' tweelingbroer.

Zijn zussen, de Meleagriden, treurden zo luidruchtig en volhardend om zijn dood dat Artemis hen in parelhoenders veranderde. Alleen zijn halfzussen Deianeira en Gorge, wier vader Dionysus zou geweest zijn, bleef dit lot bespaard.

Meleager was gehuwd met Cleopatra, een dochter van Idas. Hun dochter heette Polydora. Bij Atalanta zou Meleager een zoon hebben gehad, Parthenopaeus geheten.

In our post of November 22, 2008 (Once More With Feeling) we took note of the news item reported a day ealier by The Day, the New London newspaper, that the City of New London had issued a Request for Qualifications, inviting developers to come forward in connection with the Fort Trumbull redevelopment project — the site of the wretched Kelo case. The Day mentioned a January 5, 2009, deadline for responses.
It just dawned on us that January 5th has come and gone with no news dispatches that this deadline has been met. Or not met.
So stay tuned. One of these days we may see progress by the city. But we suggest that you not hold your breath.
FOLLOW-UP. The New London newspaper, The Day, reports that in response to its Request for Qualifications, New London has received two — count 'em, two — responses from developers interested in taking a shot at the Fort Trumbull redevelopment project. These developers have not yet been identified.
John Brooks, the executive director of New London Development Corporation does not appear to be exuding optimism — he is quoted by The Day as saying "The response is a little disappointing. The economy is in tough shape. It's a risk to take on a project now." It sure is, John, except that starting a new development venture involves the risk of failure any time, not just now. That is why people who want to profit from such ventures should risk their own money, not public funds.

//
// HANDLE/ACQUIRE RELEASE
//
// The runtime vends handles just in case we decide to exploit shared
// virtual memory.  But for most platforms and devices we will have a
// pool of host-managed handles and on the device there will be a
// table that maps the host handle to a device-managed memory block.
//
// HANDLE READINESS
//
// A host handle may reference a path or a raster which is not ready
// for use further down the pipeline because it hasn't yet been
// processed by the device.
//
// The simplest scheme for providing every handle a readiness state is
// to build a map that that marks a new handle as being not-ready
// while being processed by a particular grid id.  When the final
// sub-pipeline grid responsible for the path or raster is complete,
// then mark the handle as being ready and eventually return the grid
// id back to the pool.  This can be performed on a separate thread.
//
// The side-benefit of this approach is that a handle's reference
// count integral type can spare some bits for its associated grid id.
//
// A more memory-intensive approach uses a 64-bit epoch+grid key and
// relies on the ~56 bits of epoch space to avoid any post

UPDATE: Blink 182, A Day To Remember Coming To El Paso on Heels of New Album
Ethan Miller/ Getty Images
California punk rockers Blink 182 are going on tour this summer and will be making a stop right here in El Paso!
Blink 182 are back and ready to rock, this time without founding member Tom DeLonge. The band recently unleashed their first single without Delonge, titled "Bored To Death." Not only are we getting new music from the group, they have also just announced a new tour. The band will be heading out in mid July with a stop in El Paso, Texas on July 26th.
The group will be playing the Don Haskins Center in El Paso. The band isn't coming alone though. Support for this show will be by All American Rejects and A Day To Remember.
This will be the first tour for the band without found member Tom DeLonge. DeLonge parted ways with the band in a messy ordeal, and recently did an interview with Rolling Stone where he discussed the band's issues. Alkaline Trio's guitarist Matt Skiba replaced DeLonge in the band.
Here's all the the ticket info. Seats start at $25 and go on sale to the general public May 6.
Check out their new single, "Bored To Death," below.

Q: What is the difference between File > Exit and the X button? There are two common ways to exit a program in Windows:

*

*Click on File in the menu bar and select Exit from the resulting menu

*Click on the X button in the upper right corner

Assume, for the sake of this question, that you're dealing with the last window the program has open.  Assume also that you're not dealing with a program that sneakily stays open as a background process even when it doesn't have active windows.
Are these methods equivalent to each other?  If not, what's the difference?  For example, does one clean up resources more fully than the other?

A: One posts the command message assigned to the menu item to the window message queue, the other posts a WM_CLOSE message to the window message queue. How the application reacts to each is determined by how the window loop processes the given message.

A: Ignacio's answer is good, but I though I'd add a less techincal version.

File -> Exit is provided by the software (and some software doesn't even have a file menu or exit option), and the software will handle it however it wants.
The X is attached to any standard window by the OS (which also provides the standard window itself). Clicking it effectively sends an external message to the window asking it to close. It's up to the software to check for this message, and respond correctly.
You would expect most software to use the same internal procedures for both types of requests, but this is not guaranteed, as said, because it's entirely up to the software developers to configure them.
Also, neither method is guaranteed to close the program - think about doing either in Excel with an edited file sat open, it will ask if you wish to save, but also gives you the option to cancel the request entirely.

Deputy FM: US Paying Iran for Purchase of Heavy Water
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi disclosed that the US government is paying the price of the heavy water supply it has purchased from Iran.
"As far as I know, the US is remitting the money to the account of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI)," Araqchi told reporters on Sunday.
He noted that the US had asked for purchase of 32 tons of heavy water from Iran, and said, "We are also negotiating with Russia to sell nearly the same volume of heavy water."
Araqchi reiterated that as soon as the US completes its payment, Iran will deliver the heavy water supply to that country.
"Our heavy water company is still continuing its production of heavy water; this is a special commodity and has many buyers throughout the world," he added.
He said that Iran has already sold 32 tons of heavy water and it is also negotiating to sell another 40 tons, adding, "We will negotiate with other countries to sell heavy water to them if needed."
On Thursday, Araqchi played down a vote by the US House of Representatives to bar the American government from purchasing heavy water from Iran in the future.
Last month, the US government completed an $8.6-million deal to buy 32 tons of heavy water from Iran. On Wednesday, 251 American lawmakers voted for a bill that would prohibit such purchases next year. The measure is yet to be approved by the US Senate.
"The bill will not be important even if it is ratified," Araqchi said.
The Iranian deputy foreign minister said that Iran is only obliged to offer its surplus of heavy water to international markets for sale, adding, "Heavy water is a valuable commodity and there are many other countries that are willing to buy the commodity."
In relevant remarks in early May, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali Akbar Salehi announced that his country is holding talks with the Russians to sell them 40 tons of its excess heavy water.
"Negotiations in this regard are underway and (their results) will be announced in due time," Salehi told FNA.
Also asked about the latest developments in heavy water sales to the US, he said, "The heavy water supply was due to be delivered to the US but we exercised caution after the US blocked $2bln of Iran's assets (referring to a recent court ruling by the US Supreme Court which authorized the transfer of $2 billion of Tehran's frozen assets to the families of the victims of a 1983 bombing in Beirut)."
"As long as this issue is not resolved, we will negotiate on ways of payment (for the heavy water supply to the US) and other things in a bid to gain confidence," Salehi said.

Archias, Ἀρχίας (prononcer : Archías) (né vers  à Antioche) fut un poète Syrien, naturalisé romain sous le nom d'Aulus Licinius Archias. Il pratiquait l'épopée militaire et l'improvisation poétique.

Biographie
Archias se lia en Asie avec Licinius Lucullus qui lui fit conférer le titre de citoyen romain et le nom romain d'Aulus Licinius Archias. Il vint se fixer à Rome sous le consulat de Marius et de Lutatius Catulus (102 av. J.-C.) et vivait dans la maison de Catulus. Cicéron et son frère Quintus suivirent ses enseignements lorsqu'ils étaient enfants, et étudièrent les classiques grecs, surtout Homère et les comédies de Ménandre.

Son titre de citoyen lui ayant été contesté en , Cicéron plaida pour son ancien maître  et obtint gain de cause : c'est à cette occasion que fut prononcé le discours Pro Archia.
Il obtint le droit de cité à Heraclé (89 acn) selon la Lex Plautia Papiria, d'après Cicéron pour gagner le procès, il est possible que ce soit un mensonge de Cicéron.

Archias a chanté la Guerre des Cimbres et le Consulat de Cicéron. Il ne reste sous son nom que quelques épigrammes.

Q: Show absolute counter in mysql I have this relation:
╔═══════════════════╗

║ 8   Noa   9       ║
║ 9   Sisi  4       ║
╚═══════════════════╝

with this sql:
set @username = ?;
set @uuid = ?;
SELECT * FROM (
    -- Get those who scored worse (or tied)
    (    SELECT s.*
           FROM quiz.score s
     CROSS JOIN (SELECT points FROM quiz.score WHERE username = @username) and uuid=@uuid ref
          WHERE s.points <= ref.points AND username <> @username
       ORDER BY s.points DESC
          LIMIT 2)
    UNION
    -- Get our reference point record
    (SELECT s.* FROM quiz.score s WHERE username = @username and uuid=@uuid)
    UNION
    -- Get those who scored better
    (    SELECT s.*
           FROM quiz.score s
     CROSS JOIN (SELECT points FROM quiz.score WHERE username = @username and uuid=@uuid) ref
          WHERE s.points > ref.points AND username <> @username
       ORDER BY s.points ASC
          LIMIT 2)
) slice
ORDER BY points ASC;

I got this result
╔═══════════════════╗
║ id++ name score   ║
╠═══════════════════╣

║ 4   Susi  42      ║
║ 5   Chris 11      ║
╚═══════════════════╝

but I need that result:
╔═══════════════════╗
║ id++ name score   ║
╠═══════════════════╣
║ 3   Bill  99      ║
║ 4   Max   89      ║
║ 5   Jan   43      ║
║ 6   Susi  42      ║
║ 7   Chris 11      ║
╚═══════════════════╝

I need an iterator column thats count the absolute position of the founded rows in the whole table.
Do you know how I can handle this?

A: This will run much faster than the query you have:
SELECT @rankOfSearch := count(*) FROM t
WHERE score >= (
  SELECT score FROM t
  WHERE id = 5
)
ORDER BY score DESC;

SELECT id, name, score FROM (
  SELECT t.*, @rank := @rank + 1 rank
  FROM t, (SELECT @rank := 0) init
  ORDER BY score DESC
) s
WHERE rank BETWEEN @rankOfSearch - 2 AND @rankOfSearch + 2
ORDER BY rank

Output:
| ID |  NAME | SCORE |
|----|-------|-------|
|  3 |  Bill |    99 |

Heat president warms to challenge of keeping AHL franchise viable in valley
Ben Kuzma More from Ben Kuzma
Updated: June 14, 2016 10:34 AM PDT
ABBOTSFORD — Ryan Walter has a masters degree in leadership and his powers of persuasion have been effective on the ice, behind the bench, in the broadcast booth and the corporate community. And just when you think the 54-year-old New Westminster native with more than 1,000 games on his NHL playing resume could gear down from the daily grind, the Abbotsford Heat president has geared up for his biggest challenge.
Walter hears the rumours. Francesco Aquilini will purchase the Abbotsford Sports and Entertainment Centre and his Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames will come to an agreement so the ASEC can house an AHL affiliate area fans can more readily identify with. It would ease a big tax burden in the fourth year of a 10-year supply fee agreement that guarantees the Heat a break-even point with an annual budget of $5.7 million. And because average attendance has dropped from 3,897, to 3,807 and 3,545 in the 7,046-seat facility — to overshadow near sellout crowds Friday and Saturday against the Chicago Wolves — it allowed budget shortfalls to grow from a reported $450,000 in 2009-10 to $1.37 million in 2010-11 and a projected $2.83 million last season. The trickle-down effect has hit taxpayers hard.
Which, of course, begs the question: Why did Walter accept this post in August, 2011?
"I have a bit of a learning spirit," he said Saturday. "I went back to school when I was 45 to do the masters degree. I've been a leader all my life and the key for me is I've never seen the off-ice side of our game. It's all about revenue and expenses. I've learned we have to be creative because this is not a ticket you put on sale and it sells."
If anything, there's a refreshing honestly to Walter. He's been in the game long enough to know locating an AHL franchise on the Left Coast is a logistical nightmare. Flights must be subsidized and convincing fans that there's an entertainment bang for their buck. There are 1,500-2,000 season-ticket holders but crowds in the 4,000-5,000 range would make the product more palatable financially for the Fraser Valley Sports and Entertainment group that has AHL approval to operate a team in the region. But it has too happen sooner than later.
"There is a window," acknowledged Walter. "It's every year. The less the City of Abbotsford has to endure, the more they can put toward building soccer parks. But I get it. I hear from people and hear the negative and positive sides and that's not a spin. That's reality. Let's be honest, you shouldn't really have a team here unless there was a supply agreement with the City that guaranteed certain losses. We're out in the wild west. The way we got a team was the City took the risk to get the deal. I think long term it will pay off."
That's because the there was an 83 per cent season-ticket renewal in the summer — up 18 per cent over the previous two offseasons — and one million residents in the Fraser Valley could be lured to ticket prices that have dropped from $45 to $40 at the top end and from $20 to $15 in the family-fun designed end zones. But the Abbotsford population base of 140,000 is the tough target group.
"There are emotional roadblocks for some people to come to this building," admitted Walter. "There's the supply agreement and 49 per cent of the population didn't want this building. But I thank them. They didn't build it for themselves, they built it for their kids and grandkids."
But what will those kids actually see in the coming years?
"I have one track and it's that I've got to make it work now," said Walter. "If something goes differently and there are changes, we'll deal with them. Our guys hear the rumours and I basically say that's above my pay grade. If I hear something, I'll them them know."
Walter's son, Ben, is a veteran centre and in the final year of his two-way contract with the Flames. At 28, he still has a passion for the game like his father and marvels what dad is doing to make the pro game work in Abbotsford.
"I definitely admire it," he said. "He's worked really hard and he's such a big name around here. I don't see why it can't work here. It's a matter of coming to one of these games this weekend and then coming back."
Again and again.

I recently went to Thailand on honeymoon and completely fell in love with Thai cuisine! On the one hand, I found that Thai food was made from fresh, simple, natural ingredients and was mostly very vegan-friendly. On the other hand, the amount and type of oil, salt and MSG used in Thai food meant that it wasn't always as healthy as it seemed. Luckily, oil type and content, salt content and MSG content are very easy to change without sacrificing too much flavour. One of my favourite dishes in Thailand was Pineapple Fried Rice which is usually made from white rice fried with lots of soybean oil, soya sauce and sometimes eggs. I changed the dish slightly to make it a bit healthier and to turn it into a balance meal with lots of protein and some extra veggies but I think it is still true to it's traditional Thai flavours. This dish is great for meal prepping as it stays fresh for a good 5-7 days in the fridge. Give it a try and let me know how you like it.
1 queen pineapple, halved and hollowed.
1. Cook your rice according to the package instructions.
2. Whilst your rice is cooking, heat 1 tsp of sesame oil in a large non-stick pan.
3. Add the garlic and cashews and saute them in the sesame oil until golden.
4. Once golden, add the diced pineapple, green pepper. edamame beans and mushrooms and saute them on medium heat until the vegetables are slightly softened (about 10 minutes). If you find the vegetables are sticking to the pot, add a splash of water to prevent burning.
3. By this time your rice should be cooked through. Add your cooked rice to your pan along with the soya sauce, sriracha and the remaining teaspoon of sesame oil and mix through on low heat for 2 minutes.
4. Serve hot with sliced spring onions sprinkled on top. If you are feeling fancy, halve a pineapple length-ways and hollow out the centre. Serve the rice mixture inside the hollowed out pineapple.

Rototranslating doors are built especially for places and people with little room to manoeuvre such as disabled people and small rooms. They are also useful for places with high hygiene and health issues due to their ability to be cleaned quickly and frequently such as hospitals and public places. They are very attractive and come in a wide range of finishes and sizes to cater for different tastes.
They are perfect as doors for the disabled as they swing and rotate both ways in the door frame so anyone wheelchair bound would be able to go through with ease form either side of the door. Once through the door it is also extremely easy to close making it the ideal replacement for cumbersome standard doors. The idea is that rather than have a standard door with a circular motion, you use a variable-radius longitudinal arch that is very similar to a cycloid.
Due to the dimensions of the rototranslating door, they can be fit into any standard door frame and when open will only take up around half the space of a conventional door. There is no need for any extra work to be done on the door frames, the rototranslating doors can be fitted directly into standard door frames of many sizes. This makes them perfect for small rooms where there is little or no room to manoeuvre.
e.g. If a standard door when open comes out a total of 1000mm then the rototranslating door will only come out around half that, about 500mm. That means you have an extra 500mm space to manoeuvre in the room.
The rototranslating door is also useful for places such as homes for the elderly, schools and for use as hospital doors as they are very easy to clean quickly and efficiently due to the way they open. This makes it easy to give them an all over antiseptic clean to comply with health and hygiene regulations not to mention how much cleaner our wards will be. Hospital doors will be able to be cleaned far better than with standard doors as all sides of the rototranslating door can be accessed and cleaned whereas there are certain parts of a standard doors frame such as the hinge which are extremely difficult to clean.
They also come in handy in everyday houses if you have particularly small rooms in your house and just require an extra bit of room. If you have an extremely small bathroom and find your standard door bangs on the sink when opening it, get a rototranslating door fitted and you will be amazed at how much room you will acquire.
The cost of rototranslating doors is extremely competitive when compared to the price of standard doors which is to be expected because no extra building work is required to fit them into standard door frames and they can be fitted easily and quickly. This keeps the costs down and makes them an ideal competitor to standard doors especially where disabled doors and easy clean doors are required.

A.C. to allow Phila. woman carrying gun to avoid jail
by Jacqueline L. Urgo, Inquirer Staff Writer, Posted: September 24, 2014
Shaneen Allen. (Alejandro A. Alvarez / Staff Photographer)
After a review by the state attorney general, the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office announced Wednesday that it would allow a Philadelphia woman charged last year with illegally bringing into New Jersey a gun that was legally registered in Pennsylvania to enter a pretrial-intervention program and avoid jail time.
The prosecutor's previous stance in the case involving Shaneen Allen, 27, was to make the case a "deterrent," either forcing a plea or bringing it to trial. The mother of two could have faced up to five years in prison.
Allen, who was stopped for a routine traffic violation on the Atlantic City Expressway, was arrested after voluntarily telling a state trooper that her purse contained a legally registered .38-caliber Bersa Thunder handgun.
In August, Allen's attorney, Evan Nappen, filed a motion to have the charge dropped, but it was denied by Superior Court Judge Michael Donio. The judge's ruling provided Nappen with a kind of primer on "how things are done here in Atlantic County" with regard to such arrests vs. other parts of the state, where more leniency might be offered to first-time offenders such as Allen.
Nappen argued that Allen "should not be turned into a felon and sent to state prison and have her life destroyed because she made a mistake and committed a victimless crime."
Neither Allen nor Nappen could be reached for comment Wednesday night.
Prosecutor Jim McClain came under fire from gun-advocacy groups and defenders of Allen after noting that the case was being pursued as a deterrent and saying the charges were "too serious to warrant divergence" into the pretrial-intervention program.
Gun-law advocates, anti-domestic-violence groups, and others attempted to draw parallels between McClain's perceived leniency for NFL star Ray Rice, who was allowed to enter a pretrial-intervention program in an attack on his then-fiancee in Atlantic City, and his hard-line stance in the Allen case.
The football player did not use a firearm in the beating, caught last spring on security video inside an elevator at the Revel Casino Hotel.
Donors contributed thousands of dollars to a defense fund for Allen, who said she purchased a firearm after being robbed and beaten last year in her South Philadelphia neighborhood.
A trial date had been set for Allen in early October, but McClain this month asked Donio to postpone it until Oct. 20 so his office could have more time to review the case.
McClain said in a statement Wednesday that, in applying factors set out in the Attorney General's Office review, he had "determined that the defendant in this case should be offered the opportunity to be admitted into the Atlantic County PTI program," and that within the next few weeks, his office would review similar pending cases.
The Office of the Attorney General on Wednesday issued to McClain a clarification of the 2008 Graves Act directive that deals with circumstances in which an out-of-state resident holds a valid permit to carry a firearm within his or her own home state, is arrested in New Jersey, and is charged with illegal possession of a firearm under New Jersey law.
The clarification was issued following a comprehensive review of firearms-possession laws and consultation with each of the state's 21 county prosecutors.
"The resulting clarification to the 2008 directive is a reasoned and considered effort to ensure consistent treatment of similarly situated defendants throughout the state," according to the Attorney General's Office statement.
In the clarification, issued by acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman, it was noted that in most of these cases, "imprisonment is neither necessary nor appropriate to serve the interests of justice and protect public safety."
Hoffman noted that prosecutors could promote this outcome in two ways: by consenting to the application or pretrial intervention, which is subject to review by a trial judge, and by considering factors and circumstances particularly relevant to "unusual situations involving otherwise law-abiding persons who inadvertently violate New Jersey's gun laws."

One of the first steps we take on our own is going to college. The journey is often winding and confusing. That's why connecting with local Kappa alumnae can lend a helping hand in seeing our personal vision through.
The alumnae women are an invaluable resource to our chapter as we flourish and grow through college. They offer support in the form of networking, advice and reminding us that our sisterhood is for a lifetime. These women are true sisters and friends that prompt us to live our ritual each day.
Eta Iota chapter is actively supported by the booming Omaha Alumnae Association, one of over 300 alumnae associations all over the world. In fact, the Omaha Association won fastest growing alumna association in their category at the 2014 Kappa Convention!
Having an active and successful alumna association so close by is a wonderful asset to the chapter. Alumnae offer advice and experience during recruitment practices and bring much-needed snacks to late night voting sessions. However, the most anticipated alumna event for Kappa members is the annual Spring Banquet. This is a wonderful opportunity for Kappas young and old to come together to celebrate the achievements of the past year as well as recognize outstanding individuals, active and alumna alike.

Šparoga is asparagus (Š is pronounced 'sh'). This is one of the many gastronomic delights that grow here in Istria. Asparagus shoots make their appearance in the early spring, growing in forests. They have a strong and distinctive flavour, and are most commonly eaten scrambled with eggs, in risotto or with pasta and a drizzle of olive oil.
Searching for šparoga is a mysterious phenomenon: at first, the apprentice šparoga hunter will be totally blind and won't see any - although everybody else bring back bunches of them. Then, mysteriously, you suddenly start to see them!
Yes, it takes a trained eye to spot those young asparagus shoots!


The mission of the Canadian Federation of Pensioners (CFP) is to actively promote the interests of Canadian pensioners generally and in particular to advocate on behalf of past, present and future Canadian members of defined benefit workplace pension plans whose plans and retirement security are under attack.
The CFP was formed in 2005 in response to concerns by the founding pensioner groups that provincial and federal legislation governing the rights of pensioners during insolvencies provided inadequate protection for the pension promises that were made to them while they were working and on which they rely.
Today, the CFP directly represents over a quarter million retirees through its affiliated retiree associations, and over a million Canadians via the family members who depend on those pensioners for their support.
The CFP currently has 20 member retiree groups from both provincial and federal jurisdictions, whose members have been impacted by some of Canada's most extensive and highest profile restructurings over the last two decades.
The CFP is a grassroots organization run by members of it's pension plans associations for the benefit of all pensioners in those plans.
We also advocate with governments, industry and private organizations for changes to regulations and laws to enhance protections for pensions for all Canadians.


Incredible. You're strong, brave and a credit to your love. Thank you for sharing, Aimee!
I am in tears. You are lucky – in a cruel way – to love someone so wonderful and to be loved back. I have never been loved back. My husband is not my love. He gave me security but never happiness. My dad gave me love and I loved back. He died in may. I miss him so.
Thank you for your comment Helen.
I suppose luck is a mixed emotion in all of this. I will eternally feel lucky and grateful to have had such love in my life. I feel lucky to have known Marky, lucky to have felt our love and to have been loved by someone so wonderful. However nothing about his life being far too short for what he deserved feels lucky. He deserved so much more. Our love and lives together should never have been so short. So yes, it brings about a true mix of emotions.
i am so sorry for your loss. i have just lost my husband of 40 years. words are not enough so i paint and walk and smoke and pray to a God i cannot understand but believe he has a plan for us all and we must trust in this or nothing makes sense.
