Q: Gmail API: permanent token access After many researches I can now retrieve my Gmail inbox with my PHP code. Now I want to know if it's possible to get a permanent token access for the API without being forced to log in with OAuth.
I'm making a small application that would retrieve 3 different Gmail inboxes and people who would work with my app won't waste their time authorizing my Gmail app to the different inboxes.
I mean, is there a way to avoid authorizing each time I try to retrieve my Gmail inbox like a permanent token access I'll get just once then store it into my database?
Thanks for your help.

A: No such thing as permanent token, but there's refresh token:

Handling authorization
  requests
Exchange the authorization code for an access token
The authorization code is a one-time code that your server can
  exchange for an access token. This access token is passed to the Gmail
  API to grant your application access to user data for a limited time.
If your application requires offline access, the first time your app
  exchanges the authorization code, it also receives a refresh token
  that it uses to receive a new access token after a previous token has
  expired. Your application stores this refresh token (generally in a
  database on your server) for later use.
Important: Always store user refresh tokens. If your application needs
  a new refresh token it must send a request with the approval_prompt
  query parameter set to force. This will cause the user to see a dialog
  to grant permission to your application again.

Here's a snippet from the Gmail API Quickstart
// Refresh the token if it's expired.
  if ($client->isAccessTokenExpired()) {
    $client->fetchAccessTokenWithRefreshToken($client->getRefreshToken());
    file_put_contents($credentialsPath, json_encode($client->getAccessToken()));
  }

This house / villa (town house) of 105 m² (about 1129 ft²), on 4 levels, with a land size of 102 m² (about 0,03 acres) has 4 rooms including 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It has a separate kitchen and a cellar. Heating : individual fuel oil. Others : parquet floor, fireplace.


First, in order to maintain balance, you must adopt a sitting position and a half-squat driving posture in a timely manner on OEM Off Road Motorcycle. Sitting posture is generally used when going straight, turning, or slipping, because it is more laborious and saves as much as possible when saving physical strength. But regardless of the posture, the legs must always be clamped on both sides of the car body, unless you must extend your legs to support to maintain balance or do difficult skills in the air. Driving posture is the premise of mastering other skills, is the most basic content .
Second, Freight Motor Tricycle can go up and down a certain slope, but many drivers believe that there is no difficulty in doing so. In fact, this idea is very unrealistic, often frustrated because of the immature technology. Instead, you should follow the scientific method and practice repeatedly to master this driving technique. When going uphill, the center of gravity should be moved forward, and the upper body should be lying on the handlebars to prevent the front wheels from lifting. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to properly pulling back, increase the rear wheel load, avoid the rear wheel slipping, and make a drum up the top. It's important to pause and try to stay until the end. It's important to stick to the final confidence here. When the motorcycle reaches the top of the slope, bend the legs quickly and slow down at the same time. Try to slow down when going downhill. The brakes should be braked later, and the previous brakes are supplemented. When the downhill slopes, the arms and legs are straight, the waist is pulled back as far as possible, and the center of gravity moves back. In order to avoid the front wheel leaning forward when the front wheel encounters obstacles. At the same time, the handlebars should be twisted as little as possible, and the drums should be downhill, so as to avoid the rollover and the bottom of the slope.

There is a bunch of great singers out there who for some reason have never remained in a single band from more than a couple of albums. Maybe it's their goal to be solo artists so getting in a band is one more step towards recognition but on the other hand, during this process great music is being produced. And that's what really matters to all of us, the Metal music lovers. Lance King belongs to the aforementioned group of singers and his biography has many ex- references like PYRAMAZE or BALANCE OF POWER. So, after a long singing-for-bands career Lance decided to take the next step and release a solo album that is also a concept one. Inspired by the whole 11:11 time prompt phenomena (yep, there are people who actually believe this is a special time, date... or whatever) Lance has put together a fine collection of songs that flirts with the Progressive genre while keeping both feet on the melodic Power Metal territory. I have to admit that this concept felt like Arjen Lucassen's AYREON albums where there is long guest-list with musicians who add something of their own into the song-writing. In this case, I think all the guest additions followed Lance's point view and hence this is not a Rock opera but a solid melodic Power Metal album.
First of all, the album is 100% successful as far as the storytelling part goes. Even without the lyrics, one can easily understand that there is a story developing behind the songs (ok, the song numbering also helps that) comprising different emotions and atmosphere making the additional auditions a necessity. What drew my attention during the first CD spin was the KAMELOT aesthetics during the album opener. The multiple vocal harmonies, the very good guitar work and the keyboard melodies in the background are the elements responsible for this reference. Especially, Lance's multi-color singing style has many meeting points with Khan's distinct reading making think that he could be the next KAMELOT singer. Nevertheless, the progressive layer comes with the fast shredding and most of the times maintain the complexity logistics and do not fall into the showing off DREAM THEATER tradition. Melody is on the spotlight during "Manifest Destiny" while "A Given Choice" shines through the additional KAMELOT references and the enhanced heaviness in the solid rhythm section. The production has everything into place balancing power and melody without making the music sound over-loaded and confusing. Take for example the excellent "Infinity Divine"; there is a lot going on in the complex structure and it wouldn't be much of a surprise if an untrained listener (like me) got lost. But no; the vocal harmonies blend beautifully with the guitar work without messing the web woven by the keyboards that offend take the leading role. There is an Eastern feeling all around that I guess enhances the mystery around this 11:11 matter that seems to bother a lot lately (I didn't notice something happening that day, did you?) and overall works absolutely great.
Yes, I am bound to close this review by being cliché; the album is recommended to the Progressive Metal fans who like SYMPHONY X or DREAM THEATER. But, it would be a shame for someone to lose the chance to dive deep in Lance King storytelling and miss the compact songs and the melodic layers that the music lies upon. If you like the late KAMELOT albums, don't ask much and just buy this one!

Investigating the Time Course of Spoken Word Recognition: Electrophysiological Evidence for the Influences of Phonological Similarity
Amy S. Desroches, Randy Lynn Newman, Marc F. Joanisse
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience (2009) 21 (10): 1893–1906.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn.2008.21142
Behavioral and modeling evidence suggests that words compete for recognition during auditory word identification, and that phonological similarity is a driving factor in this competition. The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine the temporal dynamics of different types of phonological competition (i.e., cohort and rhyme). ERPs were recorded during a novel picture–word matching task, where a target picture was followed by an auditory word that either matched the target (CONE–cone), or mismatched in one of three ways: rhyme (CONE–bone), cohort (CONE–comb), and unrelated (CONE–fox). Rhymes and cohorts differentially modulated two distinct ERP components, the phonological mismatch negativity and the N400, revealing the influences of prelexical and lexical processing components in speech recognition. Cohort mismatches resulted in late increased negativity in the N400, reflecting disambiguation of the later point of miscue and the combined influences of top–down expectations and misleading bottom–up phonological information on processing. In contrast, we observed a reduction in the N400 for rhyme mismatches, reflecting lexical activation of rhyme competitors. Moreover, the observed rhyme effects suggest that there is an interaction between phoneme-level and lexical-level information in the recognition of spoken words. The results support the theory that both levels of information are engaged in parallel during auditory word recognition in a way that permits both bottom–up and top–down competition effects.

Bird brooches from the late(r) Viking era have been found in Scandinavia as wel in areas occupied and inhabited by the vikings and Norsemen within England and Anglo-Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon context. These so called bird shaped brooches can be addressed to the 11th and even early 12th century. Stylistically the brooch here cannot be categorized towards an distinct 'Viking style' as the late Urnes style, although some types of other bird shaped brooches shows us connections to the Ringerike and Urnes style.. The decoration and form of the bird on the brooch here is more under the influence of developing Romanesque outings spreading its way from the Continent in Scandinavian art. See for example the style of a bird, depicted on the right corner next to the door portal of Rimsø Kirke, Jylland. The church dates back from 1150 A.D.
The brooch is intact with a wonderful olive-green patina. The iron pin on the back has detoriated in the ground, only traces are remaing. The - bronze - brooch measures 36 mm x 19 mm x 22 mm and weighs 5.86 grams and was found near Dereham. Norfolk, England in 2014. It is very well preserved.
Similar brooches are known from Denmark and an example of Skadegard, Bornholm - see figure 6 b on the attached page beneath - shows us a very similar form and decoration. So far England is the only area outside Scandinavia where bird brooches similar to those discovered in Denmark have been found. The archeaological finds indicate close contacts between England and Denmark in the first half of the 11th century. Anne Pedersen is suggesting that Byzantium art may be a source of inspiration for these specific type of brooches as is evident from the Danish coinage of the 11th century that direct or indirect influence from Byzanthium played an important role. The clearest link is to western Europe, an area important for the development of Danish society and the Christian church during the Viking Age. The geographical distribution of the brooches in Denmark points westwards, and an arlier brooch traditiin is evident in Germany, France and England.
The bird-shaped brooches of the 11th century represented a new type of ornament and it is likely that they served not only practical and decorative purposes but were an ornament with symbolic value. Whether the brooches represent birds of prey, doves aor another bird - a raven ? - is difficult to determine, but birds as well as other animals played an important role in Christianity. The brooches appear in the 11th century when the Christian church was advancing in Denmark. Bird motifs were common in previous centuries, but it is possible they achieved a new significance in the context of the new religion.

Q: Parse date and change format from spanish This might be a duplicated question but since I have read all
the comments about it and I don't solve my question I have to ask again.
I am working with a dataframe where I Have a column with this look:
print final['fecha_dato'][2]

31 de Enero del 2017
I do this in order to make it more understandable:
d = final['fecha_dato'][2]
d = d.replace(' de ','-')
d = d.replace(' del ','-')

And i get this output:
'31-Enero-2017'
I want to convert it to 31-01-2017 format and I try this in order to make the
Spanish understandable:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US')

but it says: unsupported locale setting.
Once i've done this I guess I will have to do something like this:
datetime.strptime('6-Mar-2016', '%d-%b-%Y').strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

Let's see what is the problem. If you can give me a way of using the replace
in just one sentence that would be great too.
Thanks in advance!!

A: You are probably on Windows, where the locale code is different. First you parse the locale so you can read the date string properly, using the appropriate code:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'esp_esp')

Then, as you guessed, you parse the string to get a date object using strptime, and you convert it back to a string using the format you want with strftime:
from datetime import datetime as dt
date = dt.strptime('31 de Enero del 2017', '%d de %B del %Y')
date_str = date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

A: You can do this in one line because your output date format is purely numeric, assuming your OS locale database is set up properly.
from datetime import datetime
import locale

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'es_ES.utf8')

print(datetime.strptime('31 de Enero del 2017', '%d de %B del %Y').strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))

output
2017-01-31

If you want to output a date containing day &/or month names you need to do it in two stages so you can switch locales.
from datetime import datetime
import locale

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'es_ES.utf8')
s = '31 de Enero del 2017'
d = datetime.strptime(s, '%d de %B del %Y')

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.utf8')
print(d.strftime('%A, %B %d %Y'))

output
Tuesday, January 31 2017


Operating Results Despite a solid increase in new inquiries for deep water equipment and services throughout the year, Deep Down's Q4′18 revenues declined to $4.5 million compared to $5.0 million in Q4′17, and 2018 revenues decreased to $16.2 million, compared with $19.5 million in 2017. Full year 2018 results reflected a slower than expected rebound in the commencement of new projects as compared to 2017, as well as some disruption in procurement activity related to market and energy pricing volatility experienced in the final months of 2018.
Excluding a non-recurring depreciation charge related to asset impairments, gross margin declined to 20% in Q4′18 compared to 44% in Q4′17, principally due to lower levels of higher-margin service work in Q4'18 vs. Q4 '17, as well as the revenue related impact of lower overhead absorption in the Q4'18 period. Excluding the non-recurring depreciation charge, gross margin decreased to 32% in 2018 compared to 44% in 2017, primarily due to a larger proportion of higher-margin service and equipment rental revenues in 2017 compared to 2018 as well as lower overhead absorption resulting from lower revenues in 2018.
Share Repurchases:Deep Down repurchased 24,800 shares in Q4'18 and for the full year 2018. The shares were purchased pursuant to a $1 million common stock repurchase program authorized on March 26, 2018, which expired on March 31, 2019.

How to configure a WiFi router to work with a local ISP (specially for Indians)?
I live a bit far away from Kolkata, India and have got BSNL and SITi digital cable broadband in reach to my house.
I would like to subscribe for the SITI digital one as the speed in my area is moderately good (my brother's shop has got one). But I want the broadband connection to work with a WiFi router so that I can use my iPad as well as my computer to access internet.
Many say that the SITI digital broadband would not work with any WiFi router. So I ask is it possible to connect the ADSL to WIFI router to have wireless internet? If it is not then I won't take it as I'm happy with my Aircel 3G and 2G and the Nokia with Joikuspot.
Thank you every one for your effort. Well, I found a very best idea to deal with these local ISPs to use it iPad, tabs and mobiles over wifi. What I finally summed up is to buy a second hand small netbooks (searching in quikr, olx, ebay can find me a lot) which may hardly cost ?4000-6000 with LAN ports and wifi connectivity and use it as wifi router to avoid th repeated log in problem!!
As already you have mentioned, you have two options, BSNL and Siti Broadband, however your preference is towards Siti. The two service providers use two different technologies to use their Broadband, BSNL use ADSL technology wgile Siti uses Cable broadband.
Configuring WiFi on a BSNL Broadband is simple and straiight forward. You need to just configure a ADSL WiFi router. Lot's of brands are available in the open market, like NetGear, LinkSys, Belkin, DLink, etc.
However, for Siti, I noticed that you are already in the discussion on Facebook with other people on a resolution. However, I can give a suggestion for it. If your Siti is connected to your laptop, you can use the WiFi adapter and configure a solution like Connectify Hotspot to share the internet with your WiFi devices. In case of a Desktop, but a USB WiFi adapter and configure the same solution suggested. they work like a charm. I use a similar setup with Alliance Broadband and my desktop with TPLink USB Wifi adaptor and connected my android smartphone via wifi.
I know Raja da.. BSNL is too much flexible to configure and also the speed and price is good. But I don't want to get that hassel of land line connection. I'm from Basirhat, n Basirhat telephone exchange e shob boro boro sarkari diggoj bose thake. Had it been Kolkata circle, I would have taken BSNL.
Siti and Alliance uses similar technology so setting up a WiFi should also be pretty similar in both cases. I searched Google with "wifi setup with alliance broadband router" and it threw up some very useful links on how to setup wifi with cable broadband. This should help you.
I tried to find any information on their service but I'm afraid I have no straight answer for you. I did read on one forum that other Indian providers using similar authentication methods only keep the connection alive for a few more minutes.
So without having any experience and details my guess would be that it won't last for long.
You mentioned your brothers shop has SITI digital ~ maybe you can test it there?
Open up the browser on a computer, authenticate, close the browser. Open Skype, a mail program or whatever. If Skype stays connected or mails continue to be received it should work.
Having a single public IP (static or not) is no concern. Enabling multiple devices to access the internet via a single public IP is what routers are designed for.
(1) Since the router usually doesn't make the private network visible to the public you should only have to enter the password once (per session, until a disconnect) on a single device. Then the router should be allowed to access the internet and therefor all devices behind it.
(2) The captive portal goes by something else e.g. MAC/browser/device/hostname verification so you will get the captive portal on all devices and have to enter your password on each ~ which may cause issues if you just want to download emails on your tablet or phone.
In the latter case this unfortunately is a limitation on the providers end. There isn't much you can do on your mobile device to "automate" this step without hacking/rooting/jailbreaking your device and then doing some programming.
Frankly, the best suggestion I have is to contact their customer support and ask what the best solution is to use their internet also on your mobile devices.
Well lets not talk about these people working for the ISPs, these are all dumb people and can help me with nothing!!!! I was suspecting the same problem of automatic retrieval of mails and all. We have BSNL here which is much flexible but it has a land line problem as if I need to take the connection, I need to subscribe for a telephone first. well it is not a big issue but I have to pay a monthly rental even if I donot use it. As I travel a lot, I may not be able to use the internet but still I'll have to keep on paying n this would be a total wastage of money. Rather I'm good with my mobile 3g n 2g..
Well Jan, I need to ask you a bit more. If I subscribe to this type of ISP like SITI, as I mentioned here, and use a wifi router. I connect my iPad to the wifi. Now when I try to browse, the page will be redirected to the SITI'S authentication page. Will this authentication procedure continue if I completely close my browser and open it again or will it be done once after the connection is established?? If it happens only once then it might not be a problem cz I may not disconnect my iPad from wifi after the authentication procedure..
Since,only you can see the SITI's web portal for login,you have to fiddle up to see the settings of its page.I also use similar type of internet connection and in that portal,I have seen a setting in which the connection can be kept active upon a certain period of time after which it would automatically logout after inactivity beyond that time.
You can keep using internet even if you close your browser.But you'll have to make sure that you reopen it before it logouts automatically which you can configure as I mentioned above.
Hmm.. Yeah!! I was suspecting the same... I need to log in frquently.. Hectic!! N I found the alternative for it... Its my very own idea..
Usually the interface between the ADSL modem and your computer is a simple Ethernet connection. Whether you hook up a computer or a router shouldn't matter.
What you do have to look out for is whether the modem initiates the connection by itself or if it requires a PPTP, PPPoA, PPPoE client behind it to do the "dial-in" which the router would have to support then.
Thanks Jan, well I must describe my problem a bit more. After posting this question here, I have been searching about the same in some Indian tech forums and there I got confirmed that it will work with a wifi router. But, the problem is that the ISP provides single static IP and when connected directly to pc, no matter what browser you open, the server directs to the SITI Digital webpage for entering the password and authentication and you can't close the browser till you use the internet. As per the forums (where they didn't mention about the wifi usage in tablets or iPad or phones), they said that they can use the wifi in several computers but first they needed to log in indivisually with the procedure I mentioned. I need the wifi especially for my iPad and sometimes my phone for skype.

Q: angularjs ng-show does not work properly I am using below code within a loop
"content": '<input id="txt' + $scope.response1[i].id + '" type="text" value="' + $scope.response1[i].subject + '" onclick="this.focus()">',

The problem is when $scope.response1[i].priority is equal to P1, the code ' is replaced by "false". So in my UI, i am getting the input box having text as false.
i replaced ng-show by ng-hide and later by ng-if and same behavior is replaced.
i am expecting that if valid priority comes, then a star icon will be shown. if no priority is there, then nothing will be shown.
I could not find out why ng-show/ng-hide/ng-if are showing false and that too the entire code within  tags.
Can you please help. Thanks in advance.
===
Added more code to show how it is used
  $scope.dataItem.add({
    "id": $scope.response1[i].id,
    "group": $scope.response1[i].subCapabilityName,
    "content": '<input id="txt' + $scope.response1[i].id + '" type="text" value="' + $scope.response1[i].subject + '" onclick="this.focus()">',
    "start": $scope.response1[i].startDate.toString().substring(0, $scope.response1[i].startDate.indexOf('T')),
    "end": $scope.response1[i].endDate.substring(0, $scope.response1[i].endDate.indexOf('T')),
    "type": 'range',
    "className": tmp1,
    "title": (!$scope.response1[i].description ? $scope.response1[i].subject : $scope.response1[i].description)
  });

This code is used by a JS library.

A: i fixed the issue by not using ng-show/ng-hide as shown below.
            "content": !$scope.response1[i].priority?
            '<input id="txt' + $scope.response1[i].id + '" type="text" value="' + $scope.response1[i].subject + '" onclick="this.focus()">':
             '<input id="txt' + $scope.response1[i].id + '" type="text" value="' + $scope.response1[i].subject + '" onclick="this.focus()">',

How To Make Your Baby Smarter Even Before Birth
Health	| July 17, 2018
Humans start to develop preferences even before being born. A recent study has discovered that the babies respond more to the touch of the mother when they are in the womb than when the mother talks to them when they are born. The researchers also discovered that the fetuses moved more when the mothers touched their stomachs compared to when they speak to the baby.
"Although it is speculative to suggest, it might well be that the increases in arm movements in response to maternal touch are also directed responses towards the source of the stimulation," the study's authors wrote.
To find this, researchers brought 23 healthy pregnant women into a dark room and had them all practice three different behaviors. One behavior had the mothers rub their abdomen, another had the mothers talk to their babies and the last had mothers keep their arms at their side. The researchers tracked the fetuses' movements with sonography. The first behavior had the most responses from the fetuses.
But this isn't the only way a child can develop within the womb. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences earlier this year found that children learn language skills while in the womb when their parents read or talk to them.
The study found that premature babies specifically had a better chance at learning language and reading skills once they were born because their mothers read to them as a fetus, which developed "the auditory fitness necessary to shape the brain for hearing and language development," according to the study.
"It's never too early to start reading and talking to your baby," Dr. Rebekka Levis, an assistant professor at New York Medical College, told The Journal News. "We definitely know that babies can hear their mothers and recognize their voice while in utero."
A similar study in 2013 found that babies can learn and understand language because of what they hear from their mothers while they're in the womb, according to WebMD.
Research shows that babies absorb information in the womb during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy, according to WebMD. And babies can recognize their mother's language over a foreign language right after being born.
But it's really up to parents to decide what's best, as long as there is some interaction going on. In fact, Jenna Goudreau of Forbes wrote that any interaction with your child will help your baby become smarter. Babies, even when they're in the womb, shouldn't be left to learn on their own, Goudreau wrote.
Pediatrician Anatoly Belilovsky told Goudreau that parents can motivate their children to learn by interacting — whether it's through reading, talking or touching the stomach — with them when they're in the womb.
"It's really the interaction that motivates the child," Belilovsky said. "The main message for new moms is that their babies are listening and learning and remembering during the last stages of pregnancy. Their brains do not wait for birth to start absorbing information," the study's author, Patricia K. Kuhl, Ph.D., said, according to WebMD.

Vaccines are the future in the fight against NTDs
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are the most common affliction of the world's poorest people. Thriving in communities that lack access to health services, adequate sanitation and clean water, NTDs blind, disable and disfigure, trapping families in a cycle of poverty and disease. Nearly one in six people globally has at least one of these 17 diseases.
Many of the most common NTDs can be treated and prevented for less than 50 cents per person per year. Pharmaceutical companies, governments and global health organizations – united in part by the London Declaration on NTDs, signed five years ago this week – have worked together to increase access to medicine. In 2015 alone, pharmaceutical companies donated 2.5 billion tablets and have pledged millions more to help control and eliminate NTDs by 2020. By the end of 2015, an estimated 62 percent of people in need of treatment received medicine.
The approach of treating an entire population, rather than just those infected, has helped reduce, and in some cases even eliminate, the impact of some NTDs. Just last year, four countries in the Western Pacific Region eliminated lymphatic filariasis, an extremely painful and disfiguring disease transmitted by mosquitos that can cause swelling of the limbs and genitals. In the Americas, onchocerciasis, also known as river blindness, has been eliminated from all but one region on the border of Venezuela and Brazil. Millions of people are now able to live free from disability and unnecessary suffering.
But efforts to control other NTDs lag. Rates of schistosomiasis, also known as "snail fever," have increased and the major anthelminthic medicines have so far not had an impact on reducing the global burden of hookworm due to variable efficacy and high rates of reinfection.
New tools such as vaccines have the potential to support greater health outcomes in the most cost-effective manner possible for diseases that cannot be eliminated through treatment alone.
At Sabin, we are leading efforts to develop vaccines to combat NTDs affecting the world's poorest people. Among them is a vaccine candidate for schistosomiasis that is currently in clinical trials. Genital schistosomiasis can create additional health risks, as women with the disease are three to four times more likely to contract HIV. To make matters worse, there is a growing concern that drug resistance could increase. A schistosomiasis vaccine could not only help control the disease but also be a cost-effective tool for reducing HIV in Africa. Sabin is also developing vaccines for hookworm infection and Chagas disease, among others.
The evidence supporting expanded vaccine research and immunization efforts against NTDs is clear, but this effort needs greater support. Increased funding is needed in order to help accelerate the development and testing of new vaccines, advance products currently in development and create a sustainable path to deliver them to people in need worldwide. Greater investment today will lay the foundation for vaccines to tackle neglected tropical diseases.

Analysis: Garment workers hold key to Cambodia's political future
by Asian Correspondent Staff | 21st March 2014 | @ascorrespondent

By Daniel Quinlan
In the battle for power within Cambodia's newly competitive political landscape constituencies have become like chess pieces, with varying levels power and possibility. Few pieces have the potential decisive power in Cambodia's ongoing political deadlock as the nation's restive garment workers.
Just months ago garment workers were on strike and swelling the opposition's street protests. It's no coincidence that since the bloody January crackdown on Cambodia's garment workers the streets have been largely quiet.
"Three months after these events in January people are still in prison, there really hasn't been movement on the minimum wage. Any reinstatement that have taken place have largely as a result of private pressure," says, David Welsh, Cambodia program director for the Solidarity Center. He added: "Not a dollar of compensation has been given to those that were killed or injured. If anything, things have moved backwards."
This week opposition leader Sam Rainsy was again pursuing another piece in Cambodia's political game – the international community. While long derided for his devotion to courting Western governments, the last few weeks have seen some pay-off.
On Monday, the conservative Australian politician and government whip Phillip Ruddock called Cambodia a "one party state" and expressed concern about the deaths and injuries that resulted from the crackdown.
His former colleague from across the political aisle, and one of the architects of the Cambodia's peace process, Garth Evans, went further in an opinion piece recently, writing:
"I know Hun Sen and worked well with him in the past. I have resisted strong public criticism until now, because I thought there was hope for both him and his government. But their behavior has now moved beyond the civilised pale. It is time for Cambodia's political leaders to be named, shamed, investigated, and sanctioned by the international community."
With options limited at home and this sort of encouragement it's perhaps unsurprising Sam Rainsy headed to Australia and New Zealand press the opposition's case.
Despite the impotence of donors in a country as dependent on aid as Cambodia, the end of the political stalemate is going to be brought about by Cambodians and the opposition's chance of having the type of change they want depends heavily on garment workers.
The striking garment workers were a massive boost to the opposition efforts to unseat the 28 year old government of Hen Sen. While their protests had been large and sustained it was garment workers that made them truly frightening for the ruling government.
It's not only the fact that clothing is Cambodia's largest export industry, worth more than US$5 billion a year, or the massive numbers of workers living on the edge of the capital Phnom Penh that make them so influential. They've also had a more subtle long-term influence that has been a critical factor in shaping Cambodia's political map long before the opposition became competitive at the last election.
The estimated 400,000 to 650,000 garment workers, mainly young women, are mostly internal migrants who hale from across Cambodia's rural heartland. Before the last election this formed an isolated and fairly reliable vote bank for the ruling CPP.
But along with the gradual proliferation of communications technology, young garment workers returning home have become a very personal and effective link between traditionally isolated 'peasant' communities and the modern capital. One that circumvents the government's hold on traditional media.
Even more concrete is the extended families of garment workers, estimated at 2 million, which are reliant on the garment workers' pay checks, giving them a direct stake in far away battles.
But these more material concerns also cut the other way, limiting possible action, as recently illustrated by the majority of unions cancelling a planned stay-at -home strike. Last week's strike was called off by unions due to workers' concerns about having money to return to the provinces to celebrate Khmer New Year with their families.
The politicisation of workers is inherently threatening to governments and always has been. In January, not long after the crackdown, a small crowd marked the 10 year anniversary of the murder of an icon of the Cambodian union movement, Chea Vichea, who did as much as anyone to bring about a organised labour movement in this country.
Anyone unfamiliar with the events surrounding his murder would do well to watch the sobering documentary "Who killed Chea Vichea", though it remains banned in Cambodia.
When interviewed by the Phnom Penh Post, the documentary's producer Rich Garella observed, "It's simply not true that every person is replaceable and the regime here knows that."
The union movement recovered from his loss and has continued without him, though it's unclear when or if it will regain the momentum lost after the violence and arrests of January.
David Welsh remains optimistic: "What form it takes remains to be seen but there's no question there needs to be movement on the minimum wage issue and I suspect pretty strongly there will be."

Review: Deception Creek {Detective Dave Burrows}
Author: Fleur McDonald
Published: 1st November 2021, Allen & Unwin
Status: Read November 2021 courtesy Allen & Unwin
Two seemingly unrelated story threads eventually overlap in Deception Creek, the fifth Australian rural mystery novel by Fleur McDonald to feature Detective Dave Burrows in the town of Barker, though the ninth in which he appears.
When Joel Hammond returns to Barker after serving a nine year jail sentence, Dave is surprised by the venom directed at him by a handful of locals. Their anger, Dave learns, is unrelated to the financial crimes that Joel claims he is innocent of. When Joel was a teenager his girlfriend, Maggie, died after a fall from a water tower, and though he was cleared of any involvement, her family have always believed him responsible.
Though Emma Cameron's marriage has ended in divorce, she's proud that all her hard work means the farm she inherited from her parents in Deception Creek is almost debt free. She doesn't want to be alone forever though and when Kyle Pengilly, with whom she shares a tragic memory, comes to town, she finds his obvious interest flattering.
McDonald's plot is skilfully crafted, well paced, and offers a truly unexpected ending. While Dave, and his partner Senior Constable Jack Higgins try to keep peace in town as Maggie's brother, Steve, becomes increasingly confrontational with Joel, their partners, Kim Burrows and journalist Zara Ellison, grow curious not only about Joel's insistence that he was not guilty of fraud, but also what really happened the night Maggie died. I was caught up in the drama and suspense as their questions unravel shocking truths that have been hidden for decades.
I've grown familiar with the core characters, who share a strong sense of community and justice, over previous instalments and find them to be an appealing foursome. I liked Emma, an independent, capable farmer, and Joel who, despite the accusations levelled against him, is sympathetic. Interestingly, both these characters give McDonald another opportunity to explore facets of PTSD, as she has done in several previous novels.
Though it can be read as a stand alone, Deception Creek is another great read is what is an engaging series that combines suspense and romance in an authentic rural Australian setting.

Title: Something to Hide {Detective Dave Burrows}
Published: 30th March 2021, Allen & Unwin
Status: Read April 2021 courtesy Allen & Unwin
Something to Hide is the fourth engrossing rural suspense novel to feature Detective Dave Burrows, though the seventh in which he appears, by bestselling Australian writer Fleur McDonald.
Something to Hide brings closure to the undercover assignment investigating a stock theft ring that resulted in Dave being shot and the escape of the ringleaders, brothers Bulldust and Scotty, in Without A Doubt. Set a few months after the events of Red Dirt Country, Dave's relationship with his wife, Melinda, is just getting back on track when, while grocery shopping, she's confronted by a stranger with a message for her husband.
Dave's been expecting the ruthless brothers to seek their revenge ever since the judge carelessly revealed his identity during his testimony in the case, and now that they've finally made their first move, Dave is keen to end the threat. McDonald develops a tense, fast-paced plot as the inevitable confrontation between Dave and Bulldust edges ever closer. Not knowing when, or where it will take place, but assuming it will be deadly, ensures suspense remains high throughout the story, particularly as both men grow more reckless in their pursuit of each other.
Stonewalled by the Major Crimes squad tracking Bulldust and his brother, Dave's partner, Bob, tries to distract him with another case involving stock theft, moving the action from Perth back to Barrabine, adding a further layer of interest to the novel. It also reunites Dave with his mentor and handler on the undercover case, Spencer, who, in a shocking twist, gets caught up in Bulldust's vendetta.
The entire situation is the last straw for Mel who issues Dave an ultimatum, insisting he choose between her and the job. McDonald explores Dave's struggle to make such a choice, and the fears that drive the spouse of a police officer to demand one. Though I do not find Mel to be a likeable character, McDonald's skill with creating authentic characters ensures I do sympathise with her concerns. Unsurprisingly, Dave remains hopeful that he can still have it all, until tragedy ensures the decision is made for him.
Though Something to Hide could be read as a stand-alone, I wouldn't recommend it given it provides closure to two major threads developed in the previous books, plus you'd be missing out on what is an excellent series. Well crafted, with exciting action, Something to Hide is a stellar instalment, and I can't wait to discover how Dave moves forward from here.

Review: The Shearer's Wife by Fleur McDonald
by shelleyrae @ Book'd Out in Australian Reading, Australian Women Writers, ★★★★, Contemporary, Crime & Mystery, Fiction, Provided by Publisher/Author Tags: #AusReadingMonth2020, #AWW2020, Australian Reading, Fleur McDonald
Title: The Shearer's Wife {Detective Dave Burrows}
Published: 3rd November, Allen & Unwin
The Shearer's Wife is the fourth Australian rural mystery novel by Fleur McDonald to feature Detective Dave Burrows, and the seventh in which he appears, but can nevertheless be read as a stand-alone.
The Shearer's Wife is divided between two timelines, the first of which is set in the present day. When the Australian Federal Police arrive in Barker to arrest an elderly resident for drug distribution, Dave and his colleague Senior Constable Jack Higgins are convinced that Essie must be acting under duress. Warned off from interfering in the case, Dave asks Jack's girlfriend, journalist Zara Ellison, to investigate.
Zara, while trying to ignore her symptoms of PTSD, throws herself into the case, looking for a reason Essie would risk the well-being of her young granddaughter by dealing drugs, and in doing so also uncovers a forty year old secret.
The second timeline tells the story of itinerant shearer, Ian Kelly and his very pregnant wife, Rose, who are heading to a station outside of Barker in 1980. When Rose goes into labour prematurely and gives birth to twins, she insists the new family remain in town but, unwilling to settle down, Ian chooses to leave them behind.
I enjoyed the pacing of both timelines, though Essie's situation is the more compelling of the two storylines. The clues are provided early on to unravel the mystery of Essie's motive, which is not unexpected, but does result in some moments of suspense, and a twist that endangers the lives of several of the characters is filled with tension. The fate of Rose and her family ties in at the end, providing a moving and uplifting conclusion.
I really like the character of Dave, an ethical, empathetic man who has a wonderful relationship with his wife, Kim. As a police officer in a small rural South Australian town, Dave occasionally finds himself walking a fine line between the professional and personal, but he is incensed when accused by the AFP of being myopic. He's willing to risk his career in order to see justice is done, but not break the law.
One of the main issues explored in The Shearer's Wife is the effects of PTSD. After the trauma of losing her father in a horrific car accident, and then her brother from a brief battle with cancer just six months previously (in Starting From Now) Zara is struggling, but unwilling to admit it. McDonald's portrayal of Zara's emotional state is thoughtful and sensitive, and addresses the general reluctance of people to seek help.
An engaging and entertaining novel, I spent an afternoon pleasantly immersed in The Shearer's Wife, and I look forward to the next book to feature Dave Burrows and the community of Barker.

If you live in the Midwest, it's pretty common to catch yourself daydreaming about warmer temperatures, sunshine, and sandy beaches this time of the year. To help deal with those bouts of cabin fever, why not spend some downtime planning a trip to some place where the only ice you see is cooling the adult beverage in the cup in your hand? Need a little help choosing your destination? The travel experts at Fodor's have you covered. In January, the publication released its list of 15 best beaches for 2014 and two U.S. spots made the list.
Ocean Grove – Established in 1859, Ocean Grove features a pristine beach, beautiful Victorian architecture, a cute downtown district with shops and restaurants, and a famed boardwalk. Located along the Jersey Shore, a one-hour drive from Manhattan and Philadelphia, the beach is popular with families and offers plenty to do including kite-flying, volleyball, and boogey board races.
San Diego (La Jolla) – For anyone who has visited San Diego, it's no surprise to see the city on this list. La Jolla Shores "offers safe swimming and snorkeling right from the beach and is a point of embarkation for kayakers who paddle to nearby La Jolla Cove." Once you have enough of the beach, take some time to explore the caves carved out of the cliffs by the Pacific Ocean, explore the nearby hillsides, or head into town to visit some of the shops, galleries, and eateries that line La Jolla Village.
So you've decided to bring the family to the beach this spring, but you're not looking forward to hauling all your gear with you? Rent It Today can help! The most comprehensive rental resource online, Rent It Today can provide a listing of companies near your destination that stock rental beach equipment to help make traveling easier and your vacation more enjoyable.

Q: Website and iphone app updating to the same database I am a novice at making websites but i need some help concerning my project. I have done some research and also some analysis on how to create websites but i have a problem. I want to create a social photo sharing website in which users can upload photos from their iphones unto the website via an app. I am considering using a database engine which can be used for both app and the website or should i just use different databases for both sites.I need suggestions how to go about this problem.
Tolu

A: You don't need a separate database. Your website should just be a frontend to something like a LAMP server (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). You're going to need to develop your own private database API to insert and retrieve items.
In your app you'll probably be making use of NSURLConnection to send asynchronus requests to your PHP api.  You should look into some of the open JSON frameworks to encode and decode responses.
Your question is very broad in scope and it should be broken down into several.  Hope this gets you on the right track.

A: What @Justin Amberson said is true. You may check out this tutorial to give you an idea how to build it for your app. I hope that helps you. http://www.raywenderlich.com/2941/how-to-write-a-simple-phpmysql-web-service-for-an-ios-app

It is now the end of January and we are off for our second visit of the month to meet another one of our local producers. We are not sure what it says about us but it is yet another drinking visit. This time we head out in the gorgeous sunshine, a perfect day for walking rolling hills, unfortunately we are headed for a very different location this time. We are going to the docks, Chatham docks to be exact. As we roll into the car park, we are greeted by the most magnificent building. It is the old pump house number 5 of the Chatham Dockyards and the home of Copper Rivet Distilleries. Our contact Georgina greets us in a very warm and professional manner giving us a brief history of the building and the family run company's origins. You could feel the passion of the family and all of the employee's throughout our visit and this was evident from the first person we spoke to, to the last.
The Distillery is fairly new by industry standards but already a well-known name especially here in Kent. They produce 'Dockyard' Gin, 'Vella' Vodka, Whisky (still too young to be available), and a new unaged spirit 'Son of a Gun'. We were taken on our tour by Richard, a very knowledgeable and passionate ambassador of the distillery. On our tour we were introduced to the brewers and the inventor of the stills. It was very personable and intimate which enabled us to really understand the process' and creations we were being shown.
The tour of the distillery took us from the grain, through the technical process' the grain goes through, then on into the most fantastic, individually designed stills, through to the botanicals that flavour the final gin to the glass we tasted at the end. This is how the tour works and exactly how the process works, you truly do get the grain that is grown in a local farm, mashed (and the by-product returned to the farm for the animals), distilled, filtered, flavoured and bottled, all on site. All the time we are introduced to the personal stories of the family and the naming of the stills, the background of the names given to the drinks. I especially enjoyed the clarification of the name Son Of A Gun, which is the unaged spirit, we were told that the expression son of a gun came from the navy, historically as the seaman were not on dry land often, the navy had ladies on the boats serving the men and if there should be a pregnancy and the father was not known, then the baby would be a son of a gun and forever looked after by the navy. It is also told that if a pregnant woman on a navy ship was in labour then a gun would sound to help bring on the birth and this again was why the baby would be, the son of a gun. Both great stories for a great new drink on the market so versatile you can really have fun with this one. The tour was finished with a tasting session, (well somebody has to). I had a Vela vodka which was served with Madagascan Coke, bitters, and lime, it was truly delicious and I think will be on my drinking list.
My final thoughts as we headed away from the distillery were of how lucky we are in Kent to have such wonderfully attentive and passionate producers in our County and as a pub we are proud to show case all of their hard work and dedication to their craft. If you can't make it to the distillery yourself, come and have a glass of their passion with us here at The Kings Head in Wye. You can always check out their website copperrivetditillery.com We can always arrange a tour for you during your stay with us, just ask us for details.

When it Comes to the Middle East, Harvard Needs Some Schooling
'Unreal' redefined: Teacher claims she was fired for not 'meowing' at student
NYC Professors Sue Over Union's Alleged Antisemitism
Boston professor under fire for classroom Nazi salute
On March 3-4, Harvard University will host a two-day conference on the "One State Solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Guests include veteran anti-Israel academics, the founder of Electronic Intifada and an ex-Palestinian official. No one sympathetic to Israel is identifiable.
This sort of anti-Israel activity, thinly disguised by a veneer of academic posing, has become commonplace at this venerable Ivy League institution. In recent years, Harvard has hosted Holocaust defamer Norman Finkelstein, accused serial fabricator professor Ilan Pappe and Naim Ateek, founder of the anti-Israel, anti-Jewish Sabeel ministry. The department sponsoring the upcoming conference is home to Stephen Walt, co-author of the error-prone The Israel Lobby.
These anti-Zionist conclaves are an outward sign of a more insidious transformation of Harvard's Middle Eastern studies. At the crux of this transformation is the school's Center for Middle East Studies, which benefits from both taxpayer support and gifts from Gulf Arab donors. Harvard is one of 17 universities receiving federal Title VI funding for the purpose of increasing public knowledge about the Middle East and Islam. By targeting their donations to schools involved in the federally funded outreach effort, the Gulf Arab donors influence not only instructors at the university level but also, through them, those who will teach about the Middle East in primary and secondary schools.
The activities of the outreach center of Harvard's Center for Middle Eastern Studies are instructive. The center's stated mission is to promote "a critical understanding of the diversity of the Middle East region." But its activities and programming reveal a dogmatic adherence to the polemical, often counter-factual Palestinian version of the Arab-Israeli conflict, rather than the presentation of authoritative and diverse scholarly viewpoints.
In 2003, Massachusetts education officials criticized Harvard for promoting a textbook called the Arab World Notebook, calling it "a piece of propaganda." The book contained falsehoods like the claim that Islam was the "second largest religious group in America," with six million members based on 1980s figures. Demographers put the current, expanded American Muslim population at just two or three million.
This is how the original published version of the Notebook described the Israeli War of Independence:
"As a result of Israel's declaration of Independence and its subsequent continued attempts to force the Palestinian Arab inhabitants out of their land, the neighboring Arab states vowed to come to the rescue of the Palestinian civilian population."
Professor Efraim Karsh's archival research shows that Arab flight was primarily self-induced. The notion that the Arab states attacked Israel to "rescue" the Palestinians is refuted by their open intent to wipe out the nascent Jewish state.
The Notebook offered an exculpatory narrative to explain the Arab defeat, claiming,
"The Arab armed forces were outnumbered 3-1… against 65,000 well-trained Jewish troops."
In fact, the entire Jewish population of Israel was 650,000; it was outnumbered at least 40 to 1 by the surrounding Arab states. In comparison to the well-armed Arab armies- including the British-led Arab Legion-the Jews initially possessed no aircraft or tanks and suffered from shortages of artillery, small arms and ammunition. The textbook has been updated, but as a new book—Saudi Arabia and the Global Islamic Terrorist Network—documents, its fundamental flaws remain.
The outreach center's current director, Paul Beran, is an activist in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel. The center's recommended readings favor anti-Zionist writings, including works by the late Edward Said, a Palestinian polemicist, and the former Israeli professor Pappe, the driving force behind academic boycotts of Israel. The center also recommends the propaganda film Occupation 101, which features notorious defamers of Israel like Noam Chomsky and Richard Falk. Serious scholarship is abandoned to dumbed-down banal fictional works that recycle the theme of alleged Palestinian victimization.
The people who should be the most concerned with the degradation of Middle Eastern scholarship are parents, taxpayers and those associated with universities that tolerate and abet such propaganda. After the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks by al Qaeda, a broad consensus formed that the United States needed to understand the Middle East better, particularly to answer the question, "Why do they hate us?"
With the prominent role of Saudi and other Gulf Arabs in funding Middle Eastern studies, and the anti-Zionist ideology of many academics, state and local officials must assume responsibility for protecting their students and the field of Middle East studies itself from irresponsible university faculty and administrators. Parents and taxpayers must be vigilant and urge school officials to scrutinize educational material provided from universities like Harvard that have compromised their standards of scholarship.
The writer is a senior researcher for the 65,000-member, Boston-based Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA).

Time Is the Diamond is a group of very small works (most of them are less than 3 inches tall), shown together on shelves as a single piece. In this rotating cast, individual collage/paintings may be removed from the ensemble over time as new ones are added. Some emerge in relation to the development of larger paintings, while some stand as the sole expression of a given idea. The relationship between what is sketch, model and finished work remains open.


VIDEO: A naturist sent Dom a naughty calendar... with a twist!

This version was slightly different, however, and came compete with naked Chris Moyles, Nick Knowles, Dannii from Babestation and even Bono!
Find out who else featured in our video above.
It's not the first time Dom's been exposed to some rather racy material without his knowledge.
