ROBIN SHARMA is a globally respected humanitarian. Widely considered one of the world's top leadership and personal optimization advisors, his clients include famed billionaires, professional sports superstars and many Fortune 100 companies. The author's #1 bestsellers, such as The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, The Greatness Guide and The Leader Who Had No Title are in over 92 languages, making him one of the most broadly read writers alive today.
A portion of the proceeds of this book will go to The Robin Sharma Foundation for Children to help kids in need live better lives.
Okay - before I share my thoughts on this book I have 2 confessions to make.
1) I loved Robin Sharma's The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and since then have read all his works. The Daily Thoughts collection by him is on my desk since last five years and there is not a single day I start without reading his quote for that date.
So the only way I could be a part of the 5 a.m. club was by stating that at times, that is the time I fall asleep. I was in two minds before I started reading this book,partly because of the above mentioned confessions and partly because I was afraid of reading the obvious (How late nights are not good for health and such things!) But that is where this book surprised me and pleasantly so.
For starters, this book is not a typical self help guide with loads of information for a reader to process and practice. This book tells us the story of an artist, an entrepreneur and a billionaire. This book could easily be called a travelogue mixed with lessons of life emerging from observing the lives of these three primary characters.
The story has a slow start and it takes a while for the reader to warm up to the characters. But once that is done, the reader enjoys their journey which is nothing less than motivational. Instead of putting it in a straight forward fashion, Robin Sharma weaves an engrossing tale around it with three interesting characters from different walks of life and leaves it on the reader to conclude from their life experiences. Mixing physical health with mental well being, the author shows us how this habit can actually make a huge difference in our life. Most of the ancient religious texts and naturopathy practitioners also recommend that the last meal of the day should be before 7 p.m. and of course the quote, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy,wealthy and wise."
Taking a leaf from both these age old bits of wisdom, the author re-emphasizes on this very practice and how it can lead to a healthy mind, because you are well rested which in turn makes your mind think rationally after thorough analysis of every aspect.
One can always argue that it is easier said than done. Added to it, the book doesn't have any practical tips per se. However, it is still a motivation read where you can experience what difference does subtle change in habits make in your life. Written in an engaging tone, with powerful quotes by some wonderful writers at the beginning of each chapter this book is an interesting read.
"Life's finest treasures live in its simplest moments. In those daily occurrences that most of us take for granted. Until we lose them."
"Ambition without implementation is a ridiculous delusion."
Replete with interesting sketches, new methods like the 20/20/20 formula, 66 days challenge , the 90/90/1 rule and the TBTF (The Tight Bubble of Focus) Strategy the narrative is one that will hold you till the end, leaving you feeling inspired enough to bring a change in your life. Towards the end of the book, I was raring to go and try some of the things I learnt from this book especially about digital detox, cognitive bandwidth and sleep optimization.
With this new attempt at writing, the author does leave you asking for more. The only request to all readers is, please be patient with this book. It is not the usual book which grabs your attention from the first page itself. It is a unique book that grows onto you, slowly and gradually.
Recommended, for people who need a dose of motivation in their life to kick-start the new year!
This book is like Coconut and Pumpkin Halwa - different take on a traditional dish, yet scrumptious in every bite!


We'd like to tell you about a Move of God going on world-wide reaching the younger generations!
The Lord is reaching young people for Christ through a new sound— especially in Europe, Central and South America, and Africa. There's a small company of musicians from various nations, untilizing Electronic Dance Music to get youth's attention, speak to them, and keep them thinking about Jesus.
Produced by electronic musicians, the music resembles what we hear on car commercials. It's upbeat, trendy, and fun to listen to for all ages, but the kids especially love it. Some songs have mimimum but spot-on Christian or positive lyrics; other tunes revolve around traditional verses and choruses; while others simply employ intriguing titles. You'd enjoy grooving to it on a road trip.
Young people come out of the woodwork to attend concerts and praise God by dancing, jumping, shouting, clapping… AND they bring their friends who are reached for Jesus by the ministry of the musicians.
One such group, TRANSFORM DJ's, ministered to thousands of young people in 10 countries on 4 continents in 2016!
Our Son, known as Taylor Franklyn, is on the right.
Explore TransformDJs.com to view videos & the size of the crowds they're reaching!
Their latest album, Never Alone, can be purchased on itunes.
The groups states their mission as: Jesus, Worship, Life– focusing on the Pro-life message in each and every performance.
Transform DJ's Recently Provided the Music at the National March for Life in Washington, DC!
Kudo's to our young people! Let's hear about you or your kids!

This is so good. I love how creative God is. I'm going to show my kids. My oldest son who's 12 tinkers with creating EDM on his laptop.
Please pray for Transform DJ's as their radio promoter is currently working on getting them national radio play.

TOP 10 FILMS OF ALL TIME
The title of this post is entirely in caps because I feel so strongly about the following list of films; they're the ones I watch when I'm sad, when I'm bored, when I'm poorly - they're the ones that make me laugh, make me cry, make me think. They've taught me things, too, and that's important. Anyway, here we go.
National Treasure // Look, I didn't say these films were GOOD did I? But I love this so much; I used to watch it every weekend without fail, and I know all the words backwards. And forwards, obviously. I fell head over heels in love with Diane Kruger, with the history bits, with the adventure. Love it.
The Secret Life of Bees // So the book (by Sue Monk Kidd) is literally incredible - and for once, the film lives up to the book. I was nervous to watch the film, as I always am when somebody adapts one of my favourite books, but I couldn't be happier with how Gina Prince-Bythewood (female director, slaaaaayin) recreated the book that stole my heart. Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning as well. Enough said.
Bridge To Terabithia // I watched this film at the end of a holiday in Cyprus when we were hours early to go to the airport: it was a bank holiday and everywhere except the cinema seemed to be closed, and so we watched this with subtitles on and my dad & I cried. The storyline is just BEAUTIFUL, and it showcases so many different types of relationship.
Pride // I watched this for the first time recently and I was just in awe; films based on a true story are one of my favourite things, and a story so pure and lovely as this one just had me in bits. It's raw, emotional, British, funny, clever and just NICE. I also strongly consider Joseph Gilgun to be one of the greatest actors of all time.
Dallas Buyers Club // Hoooo boy, this film is good. This was a recommendation from an old housemate, and at first I was all ???? But then I was all *jaw hits the floor* because it's incredible. Dark, accurate, heart-wrenching and so well done. Amazing cast, too.
Submarine // I couldn't not include this; it's my favourite coming of age film, my favourite soundtrack to any film ever, my favourite a lot of things. Plus it's set in Wales which makes it even better, frankly. Love love love it.
Adam // Oh this film is beautiful - it captures autism in the real, grown-up world, perfectly: it shines a light on it and I fell in love with Adam and his story. It's a feel good film in the best way and it's one I recommend to everyone.
The Host // Again, not exactly one of those "good" films that everyone talks about - but I loved the book (by Stephanie Meyer, but I promise it's better than Twilight!) so I was desperate to see the film. It's one I can stick on when I want something on in the background, and I'm fascinated by the storyline.
Safe Haven // So there was gonna be one chick flick on this list, and it has to be this one - amazing
cast, beautiful scenery, lovely storyline. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it just as much as I did; it's got a twist and I cried a lot, so.
How I Live Now // Okay so I love Saorise Ronan; she's one of my favourite actresses, and I could watch this film over and over. I love the soundtrack, the imagery, the drama. 10/10 would recommend.
There's a lot more films I could include - but I've narrowed it down to my top 10 and I'd love to know your's!

Great list! The only film I've seen on it is Pride. Thanks for all the recommendations.

Pride is one of my favourite films ever! I've watched it so many times and have cried every single time. Thanks for the recommendations, I'm definitely going to watch!

I keep meaning to watch Submarine! I'll try to watch it this week if I can!

Pench Tiger reserve was declared a sanctuary in 1977, but attained the status of national park in 1983. The surroundings of Pench National Park are the original setting of Rudyard Kipling's, "The Jungle Book". The lure of Kipling's Jungle and the call of the tiger is unparalleled. The area has always been rich in flora and fauna and is especially famous for large herds of Chital, sambar, nilgai, Indian Bison and Wild boars.

With views, mountains and waterfalls for as far as you can see, how could I NOT bring my drone to a place as stunning as Whistler! I packed my trusty DJI Phantom 4 on our trip, and I'm so glad I did! I still cannot get over the amazing quality this drone delivers.
I vouch for this program that much!
There you go! That's the birds-eye view from Whistler, BC!
I'd love to hear what you thought in the comments section below! Where are my fellow drone pilots at? Who's been to Whistler?!

The consumption of organic food is considered to be a very healthy affair and more and more people are doing just so, in various parts of the world. There are however, a number of important points that have to be kept in mind by you if you are going to be buying organic foods any time soon.
Not all the stores that sell organic fruits and vegetables are those that are genuine. You therefore need to make sure that you make your purchase from a store that has been around for the last five or six years and which will give you a guarantee at the time of purchase.
If you want to purchase organic fruits and vegetables then you should carry out your purchase online and that too in the late hours of the night. This is the time when you can avail the best offers on the sale of such foods.
You should opt for the bulk purchase of organic fruits and vegetables especially if you are buying for members of your family as well. By making a bulk purchase you can get to have several of these foods for the price of just a few.
Thus, if you keep the above mentioned points in mind, your purchase of organic food items can turn out to be quite a successful affair for you.

BETH SNAPP's "Higher Love" Finds Hope on the Horizon
It can be easily argued — and successfully as well — that those songs that truly resonate are the ones that speak to our humanity and inspire us to peer well beyond the horizon. Beth Snapp's striking new single a cover of the Steve Winwood classic "Higher Love" does just that. It's sung for a cause one that is particularly powerful in a time when the struggle for civil rights has not only intensified but become all the more essential.
Snapp recorded the single at the behest of TriPride an organization that works towards building a stronger and more inclusive community across Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. "When I was first approached by TriPride to cover this tune my first thought was wow they hit the nail on the head thematically," Snapp says. "To choose a song that calls for a higher love and peace between neighbors is the most imperative message we can be spreading especially at a time when the divide has become so much deeper. I was so proud to get to be a part of that message."
Indeed the song's lyrics share an incisive message that's not only timeless but especially telling as well:
"Think about it there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine"
Based on the cover of the recent Kygo remix featuring Whitney Houston, Snapp's powerful take on the tune echoes a sense of optimism and shares the insight that reinforces that essential theme. With a stirring yet sumptuous arrangement that features features Snapp on vocals and guitar, Dave Eggar on cello, Phil Faconti on guitar and bass, Justin Short on drums, and Will Cassell on guitar, the song practically soars, bringing with it an upbeat optimism that Snapp so convincingly conveys with clarity and conviction. She repeats the surging refrain over and over, and each time, the message becomes that much more emphatic. Her rendition was engineered by Mike Stephenson at Classic Recording Studio in Bristol, Mixed by Johnny Nice and mastered by Andy VanDette.
"The thing that hit me in the midst of recording this song was that the majority of our communities are now getting some sense of some of those feelings the LGBTQ+ communities have been struggling with since…well, forever," Snapp suggests. "One of the joys of Pride events is this ability to come together for folks who have at some point in time experienced such deep feelings of isolation. Now, we're all experiencing a very small amount of isolation, and many of us can't handle even this small moment in time. Imagine having to deal with that your whole life, or else having to fear the consequences if one chooses not to. Many people are lashing out in anger. Many are polarizing our communities. And yet, this organization, which is made up of people who are all too familiar with that pain and indignity, is choosing to spread this healing message of positivity, hope, community, and, most of all, love."
As a widely praised artist, Snapp's always been able to dig deep into the music that inspires her. As a child, she felt well connected to the Appalachian environs where she was raised. Notably, most members of her family hailed from the area of Southwest Virginia that the Carter Family once called home. Her mother, aunt and cousin sang together in a gospel trio, leaving her with an indelible impression and a determined desire to sing. By the time she was in high school, she was performing regularly at her church, at weddings and even at funerals. By the time she was completing her graduate studies, she was ready to venture out on her own and begin offering her original compositions.
Her debut album, 2014's That Girl in the Magazine featured contributions from Dave Eggar, Tim Stafford, Rob Ickes, and Trey Hensley as well the Stafford's bluegrass band Blue Highway. Her sophomore set, Write Your Name Down, was released in 2017 and introduced the song "Grime and Grace," which brought her honors that year as a semifinalist in the prestigious New Song Songwriting Competition.
It also gave her entry to open for such singular artists as Iris Dement, Scott Miller, Jill Andrews, Cruz Contreras and Dave Eggar, as well as make a series of guest appearances on albums by Eggar, Stafford and Blue Highway.
Ultimately, it earned her continued kudos from those who found themselves enticed by her unerringly accessible fusion of folk, bluegrass, roots and pure pop. Leah Ross, Executive Director of the ever-popular Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion festival, described her as a "local jewel." Tim Stafford insists that of all the artists coming out of East Tennessee in the past two decades, "Beth is easily the most original and talented."
Tom Netherland, writing in the Bristol Herald, declared, "Beth Snapp sings like a cage-less bird flies. Freedom waves in her delivery of lyrics, upon the wings of which glide distinction and the boundless glory of a soul undeniable."
The new single finds Snapp sharing her satisfaction once again.
"Being able to connect and collaborate with my friends and colleagues and create something that was a little outside the box was just the therapy I needed," she reflects. "Hopefully the listener will feel the joy that we felt in making it. After all, we all need to take a page out of this book. We need to realize we're all in this together. We all need that higher love."

They do things a little differently at Acorn School in Stratham. And celebrating May Day and the onset of spring is no exception.
For more than four decades, since its founding to serve pre-school and kindergarten-age students, the nonprofit school has used its beautiful and natural surroundings to enhance a unique curriculum and educational philosophy – which honors confidence-building and the imagination potential of childhood.
May Day is a case in point. In addition to a popular annual Earth Day celebration, the May Day event doesn't take place on the typical May 1 date. "At Acorn, we wait until the weather is typically a little nicer," said Crystal Hardy, a member of the Acorn School board of directors and a mother of two children who have attended the school. The most recent celebration took place May 17 and was a whirlwind of activity including horseback riding, face painting, singing, and craft making.
Teachers, students and family members all say that May Day is more than a celebration at Acorn. It also symbolizes the rebirth and growth of nature at Acorn. The school garden is planted with squash, corn, and beans for the celebration of the three sisters harvest come fall. The children get to see the result of all their hard work composting all year long by using the compost soil from Mr. Fox Composting in Portsmouth in the garden and flower beds. The children go on field trips to explore other areas of nature, such as farms and the nearby Great Bay Discovery Center.
Through creatively enjoying movement, art, music, and theater, the children at Acorn School have a curriculum that emphasizes the sciences, world cultures, and creative arts. At any one time, there are many ongoing projects.
Acorn School is a long-time business partner of the Green Alliance, the Portsmouth organization which connects green-minded businesses and organizations with green-minded consumers. From a comprehensive commitment to the 3 Rs – reduce, reuse, and recycle – to composting and maintaining a robust garden, Acorn's green focus is an educational staple. It has also had international impact: Acorn School has raised money to purchase acreage in South American rain forests to protect them from deforestation.

Q: C# streamwriter create part of files I am trying to create a hash text file.  The code works, the problem is that once the streamwriter starts the process it won't stop until it is finished.  I want to break up the output file into smaller parts.  How do I stop the streamwriter and start a new file without starting the process over again?
string infile = @"ntlmchar.txt";
        string hashfile = @"ntlmhash.txt"; //File that includes the hash and clear test
        string charfile = @"ntlmchar.txt"; //File that only has the clear text
        string oldCharFile = ""; //Temp file to apply to infile.
        int cint = 1;  //The number of characters in the file
        string str_cint = cint.ToString(); //convert cint to string
        int pint = 1; //The number of parts to the character file
        string str_pint = pint.ToString(); //convert pint to string
        int cm = 4; //Max number of characters
        int pm = 4000; //Man number of parts
        int line = 0; //line index number

        while (cint <= cm)

                charfile = "ntlmchar" + str_cint + "_" + str_pint + ".txt";

                using (StreamWriter c = new StreamWriter(charfile))
                using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(infile))
                {
                    string i = "";
                    while ((i = sr.ReadLine()) != null)

                                h.Flush();
                                c.Flush();
                                pint++;

                                hashfile = "ntlmhash" + str_cint + "_" + str_pint + ".txt";

                            }

                        }
                    }

A: I assume you're trying to get 2,000,000 items per file? You just need to restructure a little.
Right now you have:
using (StreamWriter h = new StreamWriter(hashfile))
using (StreamWriter c = new StreamWriter(charfile))
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(infile))
{
    string i = "";
    while ((i = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
    {

You need to change your code so that you open the output files later:
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(infile))
{
    StreamWriter h = null;
    StreamWriter c = null;
    try
    {
        h = new StreamWriter(...);
        c = new StreamWriter(...);
        string i = "";
        while ((i = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
        {
            // output line here
            // and increment line counter.
            ++line;
            if (line > 2000000)
            {
                // Close the output files and open new ones
                h.Close();
                c.Close();
                h = new StreamWriter(...);
                c = new StreamWriter(...);
                line = 1;
            }
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        if (h != null) h.Close();
        if (c != null) c.Close();
    }
}

If I described a weekend event featuring more than 200 bands, 30 stages, 20 vendors and loads of other activities, you might automatically think Coachella, but you'd be way wrong. It's the free, two-day Deutschtown Music Festival, going down July 14-15 on the North Side.
Although it's grown exponentially since its inception as a still-ambitious 47-band bill, the festival, now in its fifth year, is still put together solely by co-founders Ben Soltesz and Cody Walters, as well as "the guy who books the bands," Hugh Twyman.
"We call it our full-time job that doesn't pay us," Walters tells City Paper. "What I find most amazing is that as we continue to grow, we're attracting such amazing people.
In addition to the musical acts that include jazz, blues, rock, folk, bluegrass and electronic performances, Walters stressed the importance of the festival in helping Pittsburgh businesses and organizations thrive. For example, six months ago the performance space at Pittsburgh Winery was unexpectedly shut down by building inspectors, so Walters gave them two stages to help them recover.
"They're a much-loved part of the music scene. … Anything we can do to help [them], we wanted to do that," he says.
Walters is also excited about a pop-up bike shop offering bike repairs during the festival; a mysterious Sofar Sounds stage (which provides secret, intimate gigs); a massive drum corps; and a variety of other activities. For the event organizers, all of this work is done out of love for Deutschtown and all it has to offer.

      $values =  implode(',' , $values);
      $colums =  implode(',' , $colums);

    echo  $sql = "INSTER INTO ".$this->table_name ."   ($colums)
      VALUES ($values) ";
  }

}

Here is the problem , I want to make filter or get method (basically reading from database) static and then  return an array of objects from database data
    class Base{

      static function filter($conditions =array()){

          $query_condition =  $conditions ; // some function to convert array to  sql string

          $query_result = "SELECT * FROM  ".$this->table_name ." WHERE  $query_condition ";
          $export = array();

          $class = get_called_class();
          foreach($query_result as $q )
          {
              $obj =  new $class;

              foreach($this->table_columns as $col )
              $obj->$col = $q[$col];

              $export[]  = $obj;

          }

      return $export;
   }
}

$users = User::filter(['username'=>'jason' , 'email'=>'j@gmail.com']);

Here is the problem , with filter as static function __construct in User class will not get called and table_columns, table_name  will be empty
also in the filter method I can't access them anyway because they are not static ... I can make a dummy User  object in the filter method and solve this problems but somehow it doesn't feel right
Basically I have a design problem any suggestion is welcomed

A: The problem is that the static object is not really "created" when you run statically.
If you want the constructor to run, but still in a static sort of way, you need a "singleton". This is where the object is created once and then you can re-use. You can mix this technique in a static and non-static way (as you're actually creating a "global" object that can be shared).
An example is
class Singleton {
    private static $instance;

    public static function getInstance() {
        if (null === static::$instance) {
            self::$instance = new static();
        }
        return self::$instance;
    }
}

$obj = Singleton::getInstance();

Each time this gets the same instance and remembers state from before.
If you want to keep your code base with as few changes as possible, you can create yourself an "initialized" variable statically - you just need to remember to call it in each and every function. While it sounds great, it's even worse than a Singleton as it still remembers state AND you need to remember the init each time. You can, however, use this mixed with static and non-static calls.
class notASingletonHonest {
    private static $initialized = false;
    private static function initialize() {
        if (!self::$initialized) {
             self::$initialized = true;
             // Run construction stuff...
        }
    }
    public static function functionA() {
        self::$initialize();
        // Do stuff
    }
    public static function functionB() {
        self::$initialize();
        // Do other stuff
    }
}

But read a bit before you settle on a structure. The first is far better than the second, but even then if you do use it, ensure that your singleton classes can genuinely be ran at any time without reliance on previous state.
Because both classes remember state, there are many code purists that warn you not to use singletons. You are essentially creating a global variable that can be manipulated without control from anywhere. (Disclaimer - I use singletons, I use a mixture of any techniques required for the job.)
Google "php Singleton" for a range of opinions and more examples or where/where not to use them.

A: I agree with a lot of your premises in your code and design. First - User should be a non static class. Second - Base base should have a static function that acts a factory for User objects.
Lets focus on this part of your code inside the filter method
1      $query_result = "SELECT * FROM  ".$this->table_name ." WHERE  $query_condition ";
2      $export = array();
3
4
5      $class = get_called_class();
6      foreach($query_result as $q )
7      {
8          $obj =  new $class;
9
10         foreach($this->table_columns as $col )
11         $obj->$col = $q[$col];
12
13         $export[]  = $obj;
14
15      }

The issue is that lines 1 and 10 are trying to use this and you want to know the best way to avoid it.
The first change I would make is to change protected $table_name; to const TABLE_NAME like in this comment in the php docs http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php#104260. If you need table_name to be a changeable variable, that is the sign of bad design. This will allow you change line 1 to:
$class = get_called_class()
$query_result = "SELECT * FROM ". $class::TABLE_NAME . "WHERE $query_condition";

To solve the problem in line 10 - I believe you have two good options.
Option 1 - Constructor:
You can rewrite your constructor to take a 2nd optional parameter that would be an array. Your constructor would then assign all the values of the array. You then rewrite your for loop (lines 6 to 15) to:
foreach($query_result as $q)
{
    $export[] = new $class($q);
}

And change your constructor to:
function __construct($vals = array()){
    $columns = get_class_vars('User');
    $this->set_cols($columns);
    foreach($columns as $col)
    {
          if (isset($vals[$col])) {
              $this->$col = $vals[$col];
          }
    }
}

Option 2 - Magic __set
This would be similar to making each property public, but instead of direct access to the properties they would first run through a function you have control over.
This solution requires only adding a single function to your Base class and a small change to your current loop
public function __set($prop, $value)
{
     if (property_exists($this, $prop)) {
          $this->$prop = $value;
     }
}

and then change line 10-11 above to:
foreach($q as $col => $val) {
    $obj->$col = $val
}

A: Generally it is a good idea to seperate the logic of storing and retrieving the data and the structure of the data itself in two seperate classes. A 'Repository' and a 'Model'. This makes your code cleaner, and also fixes this issue.
Of course you can implement this structure in many ways, but something like this would be a great starting point:
class Repository{
    private $modelClass;

    public function __construct($modelClass)
    {
        $this->modelClass = $modelClass;
    }

    public function get($id)
    {
        // Retrieve entity by ID
        $modelClass = $this->modelClass;
        return new $$modelClass();
    }

    public function save(ModelInterface $model)
    {
        $data = $model->getData();
        // Persist data to the database;
    }
}

interface ModelInterface
{
    public function getData();
}

class User implements ModelInterface;
{
    public int $userId;
    public string $userName;

    public function getData()
    {
        return [
            "userId" => $userId,
            "userName" => $userName
        ];
    }
}

$userRepository = new Repository('User');
$user = $userRepository->get(2);

echo $user->userName; // Prints out the username

Good luck!

A: I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with your approach. That said, this is the way I would do it:
final class User extends Base {

    public $id ;
    public $username ;
    public $email ;
    public $password ;

    protected static $_table_name = 'users';
    protected static $_table_columns;

    public static function getTableColumns(){
        if( !self::$_table_columns ){
            //cache this on the first call
            self::$_table_columns = self::_set_cols( get_class_vars('User') );
        }
        return self::$_table_columns;
    }

    public static function getTableName(){
        return self::$_table_name;
    }

    protected static function _set_cols($cols){
        unset($cols['_table_name']);
        unset($cols['_table_columns']);
        return array_keys($cols);
    }

}

$u = new User;
$u->username = 'jason';
$u->email = 'j@gmail.com';
$u->insert();

And then the base class, we can use Late Static Binding here static instead of self.
abstract class Base {

    abstract static function getTableName();

    abstract static function getTableColumns();

    public function insert(){

        $colums = $values = array();

        foreach( static::getTableColumns() as $col ){

            if(!$this->$col) continue ;

            $values[] = $this->$col ;
            $colums[] = $col ;
        }

        $values =  implode(',' , $values);
        $colums =  implode(',' , $colums);

        echo  $sql = "INSERT INTO ". static::getTableName() ." ($colums)    VALUES ($values) ";

    }

    static function filter($conditions =array()){

        $query_condition =  $conditions ; // some function to convert array to  sql string

        $query_result = "SELECT * FROM  ".static::getTableName() ." WHERE  $query_condition ";
        $export = array();

        $columns = static::getTableColumns(); //no need to call this in the loop

        $class = get_called_class();
        foreach($query_result as $q ){
            $obj =  new $class;

            foreach( $columns as $col ){
                $obj->$col = $q[$col];
            }

            $export[]  = $obj;

        }

        return $export;
    }

}

Now on the surface this seems trivial but consider this:
class User extends Base {

    public $id ;
    public $username ;
    public $email ;
    public $password ;

    final public static function getTableName(){
        return 'users';
    }

    final public static function getTableColumns(){
        return [
            'id',
            'username',
            'email',
            'password'
        ];
    }

}

Here we have a completely different implementation of those methods from the first Users class.  So what we have done is force implementation of these values in the child classes where it belongs.
Also, by using methods instead of properties we have a place to put custom logic for those values.  This can be as simple as returning an array or getting the defined properties and filtering a few of them out.  We can also access them outside of the class ( proper like ) if we need them for some other reason.
So overall you weren't that far off, you just needed to use static Late Static Binding, and methods instead of properties.

-Notes-

*

*you also spelled Insert wrong INSTER.

*I also put _ in front of protected / private stuff, just something I like to do.

*final is optional but you may want to use static instead of self if you intend to extend the child class further.

*the filter method, needs some work yet as you have some array to string conversion there and what not.


We're all lazy, we try not to be, but you know and I know that if you can, you'd sleep right through the day. Being lazy is an art form that not a lot of people know how to pull off, for some people being lazy is a full time job, a 24/7 full time job.
Now, before you start yawning, here are 4 great tips on how to kick the laziness off of you and start LIVING.
First things first – unless you have something specific that you want to spend your time doing (a hobby project, your own business, mastering a skill, etc.) there's no reason to even have more energy.
If I had 1 extra hour each day where I had unlimited amount of energy, what would I spend that time doing?
Whatever answer you come up with, let's call this activity "Your Awesome Activity".
For me, it wasn't until I started feeling really urgent about setting up my own website that things really happened. Now, 7 months later, I have over 100 articles on the site. And I love writing more and more.
So how can you "find" this urgency?
Imagine that in exactly one year a big change is coming into your life. This big change will completely stop you from being able to spend any more time on "Your Awesome Activity" for the next 24 months after that. Pretty bad, right? So if you want to want to create something, the only time is Now, or else you'll have to wait more than 3 years before you can get started.
With this type of mindset, anything can become urgent – learning a language, playing the guitar, building a website, etc.
And in order to be able to really focus on "Your Awesome Activity", of course you need some energy. And I'm not going to go on here about how it's great to eat healthy and exercise plenty – we all know that already.
Instead, I'm just going to share with you an insight of mine. You can do whatever you want with it, all I can say is that it works for me and I recommend you to give it a try.
It's like this: All time is not created equal.
I believe (from experience and theory) that the early morning hours can be much more valuable than the evening hours. Why?
Simply because in the morning your mind hasn't been bombarded with information from the outside world yet and is therefore still in a calm, Zen-like state. This focus and ability to be highly productive is something we should cherish deeply and use fully!
Previously, I always had problems doing anything meaningful at all after work. My mind was simply too tired and scattered. So take my advice and try to wake up at 5 a.m. for a few days to see if you can get things done. The feeling of peacefulness and the fact that you won't be interrupted at whatever you're doing is truly precious.
I guess you worry about feeling tired, but let me tell you that if you manage to keep it up a few weeks, then this habit will make you wake up even more refreshed than you can imagine. It's all about really going for it 100%.
I mentioned in the beginning that laziness is a habit. So if we want to overcome that, we must replace it with a new, even stronger, habit. That's the reason why I want to stress the importance of this point.
At what times did I overcome my laziness today?
At what times did I skip my goal and was being lazy instead?
So with this 4-step approach, I believe many of us can get back on track again. It's so easy to fall back into old patterns and get stuck there.
If you just start with some reflection to find out what happened and why you have ended up in a situation where you're not moving forward as much as you want, then that's the best possible start there is. I wish you the best of luck and know that we all can improve.

Q: Break recursion the right way Trying to solve Leetcode problem 55. Jump Game; i decided to break recursion with a try except block and custom Exception, do you see a more clever way of doing it ? I feel like I am doing the wrong way to break recursion ...
class Solution(object):
    def canJump(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :rtype: bool
        """
        reachable = [False]*len(nums)
        class BreackRecursion(Exception):
            pass
        def jump(nums,pos):
            max_step = nums[pos]
            reachable[pos]=True
            if reachable[-1]==True:
                raise BreackRecursion
            for step in range(1,max_step+1):
                print(pos,step,max_step,list(range(1,max_step+1)),reachable)
                try:
                    reachable[pos+step]=True
                    jump(nums,pos+step)
                except IndexError:
                    pass

        try:
            jump(nums,0)
        except BreackRecursion:
            return True
        return False

S= Solution()
inputs =[[2,3,1,1,4],[3,2,1,0,4]]
for input in inputs:
    print("input:",input)
    s = S.canJump(input)
    print(s)

A: Here is a proposal
class SolutionNew:
    def canJump(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :rtype: bool
        """
        def jump(nums, pos):
            max_step = nums[pos]

            # 1 -- you are just breaking when reaching last position
            if pos == len(nums) - 1:
                # 2 -- just use a flag to end your recursion
                return False

            for step in range(1, max_step + 1):
                print(pos, step, max_step, list(range(1, max_step + 1)))

                # 3 -- an "if" statement may be more elegant here
                next_pos = pos + step
                if next_pos < len(nums):
                    # 4 -- propagate your "False" flag
                    if not jump(nums, next_pos):
                        return False

            # 5 -- when normal ending, you just flag that a new loop can be performed
            return True

        # 6 -- ensure the logic is ok
        return not jump(nums, 0)

*

*Setting reachable[pos] to True and then checking for last value of reachable is just like looking if pos == len(reachable)-1 (or len(nums)-1 since len(reachable) == len(nums).

*Instead of raising an Exception, you could just set a flag. Then you should just take care of propagating that flag, through #4 (you want to stop immediately if False flag is returned) and #5 (normal ending -> proceed with next iteration).

*Instead of try ... except you can just see if next_pos fits in. Notice also that reachable[pos + step] = True before calling jump(nums, pos + step) was reduntant, since the jump call sets it to True almost immediately. At this point, indeed, you do not even need reachable anymore.

*See #2.

*See #2.

*Just to adjust the logic, in order to return True when recursion stops (i.e. BreackRecursion was raised).

Here some test code:
S = Solution()
S_new = SolutionNew()
inputs = [
    [2, 3, 1, 1, 4],
    [3, 2, 1, 0, 4],
    [5, 1, 6, 10, 2, 3, 4, 7, 5, 2],
    [123, 321, 25, 87, 6],
    [5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5],
]
for input in inputs:
    print("input:", input)
    s = S.canJump(input)
    s_new = S_new.canJump(input)
    assert s == s_new, 'Solutions are different!'
    print(s_new)

Q: which is the best way to associate many values to a single value of another table? I want know which is the best way to associate a few values to only one value. I have:
TABLE keyword
id |keyword
1  | agence web
2  | mobile
3  | print

TABLE services
id | serivice | id_keyword
1    web          1
2    web          2
3    web          3

Of course, the table keyword and services are join with id of keyword and id_keyword of services. What s the best way to associate these values?

A: you should normalize your database Link,
remove id_keyword from service table and create a new table
eg: services_rel_keyword with columns service_id and keyword_id
fetch them using join
Or you can use JSON or Array datatype if you are using PostgreSQL or MySQL
PostgreSQL JSON link and MySQL JSON link
and if you are using MSSQL server JSON link

Pacific Media Expo is a fun J-Pop convention in a great Los Angeles area introducing Asian entertainment to American including anime, manga, cosplay, fashion, music and so on! This year PMX was held at Pasadena Convention Center surrounded by lots of beautiful scenery. I had a chance to join PMX on Sunday and met so many lovely cosplayers!
I also had a chance to meet the guests of the honor from Japan, Mr. Mamoru Yokota and Mr. Masashi Kudo! I could even get a Mr. Kudo's autograph and took a photo together! 🙂 Mr. Kudo is well known as a character designer for a super popular anime/manga "Bleach." He told me that it was his first time visiting the West Coast so he was excited to meet his American fans at this con. He was so energetic and sweet!
Pasadena is such a pretty city so there are so many great locations for the photoshoot around the convention center. There were a few food trucks including Okamoto Kitchen in front of the con even if you get hungry.


So discard all else and secure these few things only. Remind yourself too that each of us lives only in the present moment, a mere fragment of time: the rest is life past or uncertain future. Sure, life is a small thing, and small the cranny of the earth in which we live it: small too even the longest fame thereafter, which is itself subject to a succession of little men who will quickly die, and have no knowledge even of themselves, let alone of those long dead.
Truly, the only control we have over all the vastness of time is now. We cannot change or re-live the past. We cannot control with 100% certainty the future. What we do have control over is what we do now and what attitude we choose to have now.
Furthermore, embrace the fact and remind yourself of it every day, that we all die. Whether we die as a child or as an old man, we all share the same fate.

«Танго і Кеш» () — американський бойовик 1989 року, знятий Андрієм Кончаловським.

Сюжет
Рей Танго і Габріель Кеш — найкращі поліцейські Лос-Анджелеса. Гангстер Ів Перрет, розгніваний тим, що вони перехопили його партію наркотиків, підставляє Танго і Кеша.

Поліцейських звинувачують у скоєнні вбивства офіцера поліції, який працював під прикриттям, і відправляють до в'язниці, де повно злочинців, яких вони самі колись запроторили за ґрати. Єдина надія Танго і Кеша залишитися в живих — це втеча з в'язниці і пошук доказів злочинів Перрета.

Історія створення
У фільму незвичайна доля. Андрій Кончаловський, який переїхав до США, перебивався малобюджетними фільмами і давно шукав можливості зняти дорогий бойовик, щоб виправити свої фінансові справи.

Доля дала йому таку можливість у вигляді фільму «Танго і Кеш». Однак, повноцінно зняти його Кончаловський не зміг. Продюсери сильно засумнівалися в успішності картини, дивлячись на те, як режисер втілює її на екрані. Незадовго до кінця вони відсторонили Кончаловського від роботи, і фільм дознімав інший режисер — Альберт Магнолі (Albert Magnoli). У титрах, проте, Кончаловський значиться як єдиний режисер.

Критики відзначають, що через це фільм явно постраждав. У нього абсолютно безглузда кінцівка, яка сильно його псує. Інша художня особливість — це роль Сильвестра Сталлоне, можна сказати, що в цьому фільмі він чи не вперше знявся в ролі не супермена, а скоріше інтелектуала і фахівця своєї справи.

Сам же Кончаловський в своїй книзі «Низькі істини» відгукується про Сталлоне як про мало не єдину мислячу людину на тих зйомках. У книзі ясно відображено, що у них обох були хороші стосунки, і що Кончаловському більш інших вдалося зрозуміти, чого хочеться самому Сталлоне, чому останній був дуже радий. Слова Кончаловського про Сталлоне: «Сталлоне — людина, цілком віддає собі звіт, хто він є», "Коли я сказав, що не хотів би ні разу в картині бачити його оголеним, у нього радісно спалахнули очі — адже все 1980-ті пройшли під знаком його торсу. Я запропонував йому грати інший характер, і це дивно збіглося з тим, що йому самому хотілося. Він розумів, що його колишній образ себе зжив — не можна вже більше повторювати Рембо. Публіка перенаситилася його іміджем — пора змінюватися. Та й вік уже не той. Набуття нового амплуа почалося з появи на обкладинці «Есквайр» його фотографії в простих окулярах з металевою оправою, акуратно підстриженого — колишній Рембо став бізнесменом.

І у мене було те ж бажання — змінити його імідж, зробити його героя не суперхіповим, а, навпаки, дуже консервативним, одягнути в костюм-трійку, в жилетку. Я уявляв собі його людиною процвітаючим, граючим на біржі. Наші прагнення збіглися. Саме після цього мій агент подзвонив і сказав: «Сталлоне від тебе без розуму». ", « В цілому його стратегія з моїми пропозиціями збіглася».

Цікаві факти

У стрічці взяв участь радянський актор який емігрував до США Савелій Крамаров.

Фільм зняв радянський режиссер Андрій Кончаловський. Він не встиг доробити цей проект том кінцівку фільму доробив інший режиссер, але у титрах він вказаний як єдиний режиссер цієї стрічки.

What a great moment, and one that is surprising, to say the least. Please tell us a little of the backstory.
Thanks for having me on the blog, Ross.
I was interning at the NY Times in the D.C. bureau at the time, where I was regularly assigned to the White House shift. On that day, December 10, 2010, former President Bill Clinton came to the White House for a private Oval Office meeting with President Obama to discuss the compromise the president made with Congressional Republicans on taxes (extension of the Bush-era tax cuts in exchange for extension of unemployment benefits and a payroll tax cut).
They weren't scheduled to make an appearance to the public or media that day, but a press conference was called hastily at the end of the day in the White House Briefing Room. Details were sparse, but everyone figured the two would be coming out together to talk. And that ended up being the case. The president spoke for a couple minutes and then left to get ready for a White House holiday party and left President Clinton to answer questions from the press on his own.
How did you prepare for this shoot, and what did you do to put yourself in position to make this image?
I was assigned to the White House shift that day. Each day, the White House sends out a schedule of his events and press availabilities, so you usually know what's going on heading into the day and whether or not press will be allowed to cover them. On this particular day, there wasn't much scheduled, but photographers in the "travel pool" or "tight pool" are at the White House each day regardless of what's on the schedule, just in case something pops up. In this case, the two presidents were not scheduled to make any appearances to the media and were only supposed to meet privately in the Oval Office. When they decided to make an appearance, the media was only told a couple minutes before that they would be coming out to the Briefing Room to talk.
So sticking around at the White House for the full day, even though there was nothing scheduled, was essential to make this photo.
The White House Briefing Room is pretty small. A lot of times the room can get really cramped and can be very tough to move around once a press conference starts. Luckily in this case, since the press conference was scheduled without much advanced notice, it wasn't too crowded in the room and it was much easier to move around.
I chose to crouch down in the front corner of the room and shoot wide with a 35mm lens when they walked out. When working with the NY Times, they encouraged me to try to move away from the pack and to be creative and look for different angles.
President Obama came out first and Clinton followed, gesturing with his arms wide open and a big grin on his face as he took to the small stage. I guess I really wasn't aware of the moment I had until I went through my take after the press conference. Everything happens fairly quickly and you don't have a whole lot of time to chimp (look at the back of your camera) because these things are over fast and you try not to miss anything important. So you have to pay attention.
I was just in the right place at the right time and caught them at the right moment. I think I'm the only photographer who has this picture. There was definitely some luck involved, but choosing where to position myself and what lens to use definitely played a part in helping make the picture.
I didn't realize at the time that I had captured them both with those humorous gestures. Clinton was obviously being jovial and having a good time when they both walked out to start the press conference. The tone quickly got more serious once they both started discussing the details of the tax deal. Clinton went on to speak with the press for about 30 more minutes. I just happened to capture a lighthearted moment in what can be a fairly mundane visual situation.
Just out of curiosity, was this is coincidence or was Obama reacting to Clinton's gesture?
I think it was mostly coincidence. I've watched clips of this press conference a couple times and it appears Obama is just rubbing his head as he takes the stage. But he does smirk a little bit before he begins to speak.
What was the reaction of the editors when they saw the image? Did you know what you had when you got the image?
The editor I normally worked with was off that day and someone was subbing on the desk, if I remember correctly. I don't know what they thought, to be honest. This was at the very end of the day, I filed the photos quickly to New York and then my day was over. They ended up running an AP photo by J. Scott Applewhite on the front page the next day. One that showed Obama leaving and Clinton taking the lectern by himself. Perhaps my photo was not really appropriate for the more serious tone of this particular story on taxes and compromising with the GOP.
Going through my take afterward, I did think the photo was humorous, but I never imagined it would win awards and take off in "meme" form.
This image has taken off on a life of its own, I have seen it pop up countless times as a meme. How does that make you feel? How do you handle something like this?
It's a strange phenomenon. I think it started popping up about a year and half after I shot the photo and I'm not sure what started it. The newspaper actually ran a wire photo in print the day after I shot the photo, so I'm glad a lot of people eventually got to see the photo, but most of the time there was rarely any credit associated with my picture floating all over the web. Some friends told me it was at the top of Reddit for a couple of days - I didn't even really know what Reddit was before that. Some of the captions and memes definitely made me laugh though.
Covering the White House beat can be really slow some days. I don't think I had clicked the shutter the entire day prior to this set of pictures. You have to be patient and a lot of times not a lot happens.
In conclusion, what advice do you have for photographers in these type of situations?
Not sure how much advice I can give on shooting press conferences, but I think when you're at an assignment or event with a lot of other photographers, it can sometimes pay off to go to spots where other people aren't to try to make a different picture.
