Art Addressing Consumerism in the Age of Late Capitalism
The globalized world is still in the phase of late capitalism, signified by the establishment of multinational corporations, globalized markets and work, mass consumerism and the fluid flow of capital. The question of the criticism of art towards the capitalist system, its ideology and consumerism is therefore still current and is readdressed in this contribution. Considering this issue, the recurrent theoretical reference is American materialist aesthetician Fredric Jameson, who was among the first to define culture and art in the context of late capitalism. In the article the author revises Jameson's critique of art addressing consumerism and demonstrates that he did not consider the relevance of the means of consumption as regards the cultural logic of late capitalism. She claims that in order to open space to examine contemporary art as being critical towards consumerism, one also needs to consider the ontological changes that have occurred to art and pay attention to performative art, while Jameson was still focused on a representational mode of art. By being performative and also setting out actions outside of spaces that were traditionally designed for art, in the space meant for consumption, art has much a better chance to act politically, which Jameson wished to see from art which addresses consumerism, but did not. The author argues that if one is to seek critical or political art in late capitalism, those would be the cases of artistic interventions into the means of consumption.

Dharavi in Mumbai, India is the largest slum colony in Asia. Most of Dharavi residents are migrants either working in factories and eateries or involved in self employed activities. Initially, officials of 'Indian bank 'and volunteers contacted the residents of Dharavi at their residence and encouraged them to open bank accounts under simplified KYC norms as part of it's urban financial inclusion initiative.
The services of volunteers, community leaders and NGO's started producing encouraging results in a short time. Enthused by the positive response and after assessing the potential, Indian bank decided to open a branch in Dharavi in February, 2007.
Today this branch is supported by three ATMs, two on site and one offsite. The bank has also achieved a business of Rs 60 crores with more than 30,000 'no-frill accounts". The bank has tested the potential of the huge commercial benefits. Encouraged with the success, the same bank is planning to open one more branch supported by more ATMs in Dharavi.
Initial capital outlay on one branch and three ATMs should have been not more than Rs 40 lakhs (Rs. 20 lakhs for branch and Rs 6.5 lakhs for each ATM).
An account becomes commercially viable if average balance in accounts is Rs 5000/-.
The bank must have recovered it's one time cost in first two years itself.
This example is sufficient to give an idea about the potential of urban financial exclusion. The need is to take the first mover advantage and to move to thickly populated areas which are a little far off from heart of the chosen urban centre. The Dharavi Banking experiment has shown that people perceived as poor are not so poor and they are rich enough and should be considered as bankable.
At present, more than 85 million households in India do not have access to formal banking channels. Out of these, 40 percent are in urban India. In absolute numbers, 34 millions households are financially excluded in urban India. If we presume that every year 2% of the rural financially excluded households will migrate to urban centers then the urban figure gets inflated by 1 million (10 lakhs) in one year and 5 million (50 lakhs) households in five years.
Banking presence in urban India is diverse and varied. The larger the city, the larger is the variety of financial products and services available. Till now foreign banks have by and large restricted their presence to select cities focusing primarily on big corporate houses.
The foreign banks have favored cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Noida, Gurgaon, Chandigarh etc. The concentration of private sector banks is primarily restricted to top 36 cities with a million plus population.
Public sector banks and the State bank of India have managed to reach the block level with the exception of 99 blocks out of which 86 blocks are in north eastern parts of India and are sparsely populated and hence economically unviable. These are further supported by urban cooperative banks, district central cooperative banks, NBFC's , MFI's and SHG's in urban areas.
Recent developments in technology have transformed banking from the traditional brick and mortar infrastructure to a system supplemented by other channels like automated teller machines (ATM), credit/debit cards, internet banking, online money transfer, mobile banking etc.
Initially this technology was available to a chosen few but slowly the technology outreach is fast spreading to everyone covered under formal financing channels. Technology is helping in a big way by reducing distances.
On the flip side, regional rural banks formally introduced in 1975 with a focus on rural areas have failed to grow at the desired speed due to a number of factors. On the other hand Urban Co-operative Banks ( UCB's) have also failed to grow except in select geographical pockets (especially Maharashtra) of India. Wherever UCB's are successful even at those places, they could not bring financially left out into the fold of formal banking channels.
The process of globalization and integration of India's external trade with the rest of the world has strengthened the Indian economy. Today Indian banks are making foreign forays/ For banks, time is right to re-set the urban agenda in view of vibrancy in economy.
Under JNNURM, the main focus will be on roads,water supply,sewage system, solid waste management, transportation, rain water drainage. Power and housing being other two focused societal needs. 'India infrastructure Development Fund' is likely to take shape soon resulting into more employment opportunities.
It's time for Banks to rethink the urban agenda.

Comicking: The January Ashcans
January 13, 2010 January 11, 2013 Andrew 1 Comment
A re-blog from the archives of my regular column for Alltern8; Comicking.
Welcome to an occasional collection of comics art, news, snippets and stories of note. Once a month, I'll bring the easter egg extras that don't make it to my regular columns, but are a tasty treat nonetheless.
Is an independent literary fair, part of the cultural regeneration of Northern Ireland, within NI Culture's Out To Lunch festival. This weekend Paddy Brown will be manning a stand there, selling work from the North and South, now including Blackshapes' Phil Barrett.
Keep a look out for special guests!
Eggheads
On Tuesday this week, Paddy completed recording at BBC Scotland for an episode of the knowledge based quiz show, Eggheads along with fellow Belfast comics creators on his team: Stephen Downey (CANCERTOWN) and PJ Holden (JUDGE DREDD) Eggheads features four rounds of specific knowledge followed by a fifth on general knowlege. Teams compete against an Eggheads team of boffs and brainiacs. (PJ's photo from the BBC lobby here.)
When Eggheads had a cartoonist team appear on the show in October last year, a series of knock-outs and a tense tie-break resulted in a win for The Cartoonists. Could it be that the targeted recruitment of more cartoonists just several weeks after means the Eggheads are out for ink blood or yoke? Be careful guys! Downey confirms this edition of Eggheads had Jeremy Vine hosting, which means it will air over the Summer or Autumn.
(IMAGE MISSING)
Battlefields: Happy Valley is the latest wartime offering from Garth Ennis, published by Dynamite. An air squadron taking on The Third Reich in 1942, over the industrial centre of the Ruhr. Apparently the story made PJ cry.
A panel from Happy Valley is replicated in PJ's short autobiographical comic drawn in an hour that's got a great Eddie Campbell quality to it.
Oh Mr. Robinson and His Quango…
Belfast politics are in the news this week as it's transpired MP Iris Robinson has resigned. She's had some rather serious mental health issues, undeclared business contracts, lots of cash and the 19-yr old waiter. In the fall-out, her husband the First Minister of Northern Ireland has stood down from his post until the enquiry reaches it's findings. Oddly, the region's newspapers are mostly lacking selections from political cartoonists. Here's some contributions from Stevie Lee on Tuesday, firstly with Peter's replacement MLA Nigel Dodds and then with Martin McGuinness and replacement First Minister Arlene Foster
Announcing the dates of Derry's 2D Festival, 2010 David Campbell writes,
"2D, although we are late on the go this year, is happening and will be on from the 3-5th June, in the Verbal Arts Centre and Sandinos, with a similar format to previous years. We are working on guests and contentat the minute and will be publicising the dates as much as we can from here on in, so any help with that is appreciated. Be glad to have you along as an exhibitor again if you're up for it."
There are few better ways to spend a weekend than in this real community event and rational for hedonistic partying. It's the fourth annual festival and last year there was critical debate, Bryan Talbolt, David Lloyd, sketches and workshops for children, dancing and blurred vision. David, my answer is Yes.The 2D website can be found here.
On the subject of Irish political cartooning, do check out these lovely sketches on David's blog.
There Was More Than One Gunman
Never far from critical clarity, Dubliner John Robbins ruffled a few feathers on the indy comix scene in 2001 with the release of Closing Shots From A Grassy Knoll. The tract explored the motivations of self-publishing cartoonists, and their agendas in product contents agendas through a short repeated question: "Why do you do it?" In many ways, Closing Shots strikes and cuts the small press in much the same way as Roland Barthes' Death of the Authordeconstructed the culture of writing and the merit of the act when bound to coded referencing of other texts.
Shortly after publication, the text was carried at Bugpowder.com and for a while open to comments and criticism. It's still a solidly articulate and insightful prose with a directed ire towards contemporary mainstream storytelling. Valuable for discerning reviewers, critics and mostly, thinking creatives on the scenes.
In November, a revised edition was uploaded. If the original on Bugpowder is the 'Shock' tract for thinking critically about the comics you read and create, the new edition is the 'Coax'. Yet perhaps more damning, certainly more directed and appearing clearer: much more relevant to a generation online were alternative transforms to new mainstream.
"Oftentimes there is a misconception among small press creators that they are rebels with suppressed talent, struggling against the might of the inferior mainstream and producing work of greater substance. This romanticised view also alludes to a notion that any production of material beneath the small press umbrella is somehow underground in nature. "
In requests I publish an interview on the piece, John has stated he prefers the work to speak for itself. John's new website, Downright Bockedy, is here.
The Baillie Train
David Baillie, author of The Indiscriminate Device and Tongue of the Dead has been blogging from Hôpital Avicenne in Paris, were he and Daniel Goodbrey have been working on something interesting,
"Mr G had been approached by virtuoso architect Valerio Ferrari about a proposed art installation in a Parisian hospital. His idea was that it would take the form of something like a web comic, but one that would be navigated by physically travelling through a space rather than clicking in a browser."
More about it on David's blog where he goes on to document his trip from Paris on Tuesday to a big important meeting at BBC Scotland. (Not for Eggheads, no)
Still, if you want conspiracy, I heard rumours of a meeting of other 2000AD types thereabouts….
The Beagle Has Flown
My stage directions for a renewed British Comics Awards ceremony featured on Alltern8.com last month. It met with confusion from editors and a resounding silence from readers who viewed it in healthy numbers. On the same day the piece saw print, it was to be joined by that of another high profile comics journalist confirming that there have been developments in The Eagles story. Just before it was put on the back burner for verification purposes.
Last month, Paul Gravett announced the return of Escape. Here's what he told me in an email on Monday,
"it is early days and we're not planning many books to start with. There will be the Escape anthology returning for graphic short stories."
Escape has a special place in British comics history. Indeed it featured a wealth of talent and over the 19 issues helped to launch the careers of Eddie Campbell, Dave McKean, Neil Gaiman and Jamie Hewlett among others.. Interesting times ahead: the story is here.
Oli Who?
Professional indy comics activist of London Underground Comics, Oli Smith, is writing Doctor Who. According to the recent official Doctor Who Magazine (DWM), an audiobook 'The Runaway Train', presumably voiced by Matt Smith and Karen Gillian may be due out this June. In fact there's already an Amazon entry for it. The following month sees the release of his first full-length novel, "Nuclear Time" as part of the BBC New Series Adventures. He'll also be putting some of those comic scripting skills to good use on DWM.
Stalking Sean
I appear to be stalking Oli's cohort, Sean Azzopardi, whose work ethic is off the scale lately. He's contributed pages in the shape of "My Only Friend" (oposite) to '69 Love Songs' A strip blog interpreting songs from the album of the same name by The Magnetic Fields. (Amazon link) There are also some fantastic contributions by Hum "Lew" Davies, Ton Humberstone, Elizabeth Jordan and a host of others. A wonderful find.
Sean has also been spotted taking part in the 100 Days project: a creative concept to create something beautiful to make the world a better place. Ahh, that's nice. Sean is posting his creations at his Phatcatz website.
Oh, and you can read my review of Sean's action fantasy story, Necessary Monsters right here on Alltern8.com
All this exposure, it's an arrest waiting to happen.
Radio Resonating Comix
Over the last few years Resonance FM, a London community arts radio, has allowed comics journalist Alex Fitch to present his rather excellent show, Panel Borders. In that vein comes the Alternative Press Hour, a monthly show "dedicated to comix, zines and DIY culture" featuring Gareth Brookes and Jimi Gherkin. The first show features interviews with London Zine Symposium organiser Edd Baldry and Mike Lake, co-founder of Titan Distribution and Forbidden Planet. Broadcasts this Friday (15th) at 9pm and should probably be online by Monday.
Finally, it's just been announced that Darryl Cunningham's Psychiatric Tales is to be published in collected form in the US, by Bloomsbury. If you've not seen this, it's worth a look and here it is.
If you have an area you'd like to see covered, or a story to share, I can be emailed at drew.luke(at)gmail.com on correspondence marked 'Comicking'.
I'm also on Twitter, Facebook and right here on Alltern8.com My loud new webcomic, Don't Get Lost, is updated Thursdays.
Comicking is published most Tuesdays, except for next week as I'm taking a holiday.

October | 2013 | failure is impossible!
Just in time for Halloween, CCMC has brought Lady Gaga's 'Bloody Mary' back to life with a vengeance! In what can only be called epic, the CCMC rework is a massive club tune just aching to be blasted. 'Bloody Mary' is hands down one of the best records off of Born This Way and it finally gets its justice thanks to Country Club Martini Crew. Very good indeed!


All the parts are compatible with most other watering brands' products.
The largest waterwheel in our watering range has everything you need for easy watering in big gardens, patios and terraces.

What's more, the wheel comes with convenient reel cart making it easy to move around, and it's trouble-free to roll-out and coil-in the hose. Combine this with its stylish design and you'll have a excellent all-inclusive package that you don't need to hide.


Is it possible to make scripts with map tools? If so, is anyone going to make a script were the destination display will swap back and forth between the destination and the line? Ex. It'll say Line B, than 2 seconds later it will say De Molens and repeat.

I'm not a scripter. Only the owner can rescript codes and such as I tried before.
As I did some research over the file system in the unencrypted parts of the .000 file and from looking at screenshots of the old manual, things with MetroSim 3.0 and hints given by other users, no, you can't. Scripts appear to be in .xml files which would still be in the .000 archive. From looking at screenshots of the Beta 3.0 Manual and description mentioning the Editor mode and functionality, I assume its always in there somehow, only disabled by a line of code. There are also physical values for different weather situations although there is no weather functionality at this point. Sjoerd said at some point, that though he has the route editor, he can not see the file system, as its still in the encrypted .000 files.


Candidates are given a number of options for NYSTCE registration. You can complete registration online any time before 5 p.m. EST of the deadline date set for the test(s) you intend to take. Online late or emergency registrations are available, but require supplementary fees. Candidates can send in registration via U.S. mail during the regular registration period, so long as it is postmarked by the deadline. Late registration via mail must be received by the late registration deadline. Emergency registration is available only online or by telephone. The number to call is (413) 256-2882 between 9 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST Monday through Friday EST. When completing your NYSTCE registration by phone, remember that holidays are excluded.
Test seating is limited. Because some tests fill quickly, it's a good idea to register as early as possible for your preferred location and tests. Expect to pay all registration fees up front.
Changing a test area, date, or selection requires a Change of Registration Request form, which must be received by the late registration deadline for the test you are changing from or changing to, whichever comes first. To add another test, you'll need to submit a Test Add Request form by the late NYSTCE registration deadline. Withdrawing from a test requires the receipt of a Withdrawal/Refund Request form by the late registration deadline. These changes to registration can be done online or by mail only.
Register to take the NYSTCE exam at the NYSTCE website. Registration fees range from $88 to $145. Late registrations are assessed an additional $30 fee, and emergency registrations an additional $70. Out-of-state registrations are also charged an additional $70 fee. Changes to an existing registration cost $20, and additional copies of results can be purchased for $15. Partial refunds are given for withdrawals, as long as the request form is received in a timely fashion.
Online NYSTCE registration must be paid by VISA or MasterCard, or with a debit or check card displaying a VISA or MasterCard logo that doesn't need a PIN. Mail registration can be paid with a personal check, cashier's check, or money order. Additional fees must be paid by cashier's check or money order only.

How Much Does Red Lobster Pay Part-Time Workers?
The hourly earnings for employees at Red Lobster vary because of state and city minimum wage laws. However, we can give you a general idea of what the hourly pay is for each position.
As a host/hostess at Red Lobster, you will be making somewhere between $8 and $14 per hour. If you are coming in at entry-level without any prior experience, then you will most likely be in the lower end of the range.
The host/hostess also receives a percentage of tips based on food sales, and that can slightly raise your hourly pay rate.
The average hourly rate for a Red Lobster host/hostess with base pay plus tips is $11.
The rate of pay for server assistant/bussers is between $8 to $14 an hour. This is an entry-level position, so if you do not have any prior work experience, chances are you will be on the lower end of the range.

For example, you will make more on a Friday night in a busy section as opposed to a Tuesday lunch shift where you are only responsible for a section with small tables. The section you get is based on a rotation, and you can make anywhere between $30 to $100 in a shift (maybe more).
The average hourly rate for a server -- with tips-- is $15 to $20 an hour.
How Much Experience Do You Need to Work at Red Lobster?
Red Lobster is an entry-level friendly company, so you can apply for a position without any experience and get hired as a host/hostess, server assistant/busser, dishwasher/utility, or server. However, if you do have some work experience, it could get you a higher hourly pay rate and move you faster into supervisory and management positions.
What Should You Wear to a Job Interview at Red Lobster?
Red Lobster is a casual dining restaurant, so when you show up for your interview you will want to be dressed in business casual attire. Consider something like a buttoned-down shirt with nice slacks and dress shoes. You do not want to show up too casual in a t-shirt and jeans.
The possible questions in a job interview are endless, and it always depends on the interviewer. But, there are some common questions that they do often ask. At a Red Lobster interview, you will most likely talk with at least one or two different managers, both front of the house and back of the house. Here are some questions that they have been known to ask during interviews.
Red Lobster is a popular chain restaurant that can have incredibly busy lunch and dinner rushes. There are times when working there can be extremely fast-paced and stressful. They are asking you this question to find out how well you would handle that stress, and make sure you are a good fit for the team.
The interviewer wants to hear that you work well under pressure. Tell them how you have handled stressful situations in the past, and that you are able to handle a busy dinner rush. However, you never want to lie. If you can't handle stressful situations well, working in a restaurant may not be the best fit. If you lie about your ability to handle the work environment, it could lead to big problems.
Can you pick out an item on the menu and sell it to them, like they are customers?
If a manager asks you this question, they are trying to get you to sell yourself and show off your personality and abilities. Part of your job as a restaurant team member is up-selling items on the menu and increasing ticket sales.
They are wanting to find out how well you can communicate, while being positive and professional.

Q: Batch script is not executing another batch if I run from jenkins I have installed Jenkins 1.55 exe in windows environment. I have a build script*.bat) which internally calls another (.bat). While executing manually it is working fine but while trying in jenkins only first batch script is executing without triggering the second one and it is giving as success.
Is there any solution for this?

D:\Jenkins\workspace\9.0_TP_Build>cd D:\PortalScripts\9000 portal\
D:\PortalScripts\9xxx portal>WL9.0-TPRefresh-doPortalNightlyBuild2.bat   ---> THis is the file i am executing
D:\PortalScripts\9xxx portal>cd d:\PortalScripts\axxx portal
D:\PortalScripts\9xxx portal>call WL-9000-TPRefresh-BuildPortal.bat a.x.x.x axxx axxx --> THis is the second file needs to be executed...but the below echo are from the first batc files...
D:\PortalScripts\9xxx portal>REM @echo off
D:\PortalScripts\9xxx portal>SET HR= 5

A: If you call a batch file from another, the first one will exit after executing the 2nd one, unless it is called with "call".  For example:
call WL9.0-TPRefresh-doPortalNightlyBuild2.bat

instead of just:
WL9.0-TPRefresh-doPortalNightlyBuild2.bat

There is a similar question/answer here, with an example: Batch Closing before end of file?

Clampdown in South Kashmir: 1000s Clash With Security Forces
JEHANGIR ALI
SRINAGAR: Clashes have broken out in parts of South Kashmir as thousands of people gathered for the funeral prayers of three alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba militants who were killed in an overnight encounter with security forces in Anantnag district.
Clashes broke out between protesters and security forces in Moominabad and Dialgam villages of Anantnag district today morning where locals, agitated over militant killings, threw stones at forces who responded by firing teargas shells and stun grenades.
Authorities have snapped high speed mobile internet in south Kashmir while schools, which had opened only yesterday after summer vacations, were ordered to remain closed today in order to "prevent deterioration in law and order situation".
Witnesses said a complete shutdown is being observed in parts of Anantnag district in protest against the killings of militants, two of them locals, with shops and other business establishments shut in the main town where the movement of vehicular traffic was also minimal.
Three Lashkar militants, including two locals of the restive southern part of Kashmir, and a suspected Pakistani national, were killed in what the Director General of J&K Police, SP Vaid, described as "chance encounter" last night.
Sources said a team of the army's 19 Rashtriya Rifles and Special Operations Group of J&K police laid an ambush at Sheikh Mohalla-Watergam near Anantnag town during which they spotted a group of militants travelling in a car.
"They were signalled to stop but the militants opened fire which was retaliated. A brief gunfight ensued in which three militants were killed. The gunfight barely lasted for five minutes," a senior police official said.
The suspects were identified as Showkat Lohar, a category-A militant of Arwani, who joined Lashkar in August last year in the aftermath of the killing of Hizb commander Burhan Wani.
The second militant has been identified as Muzafar Hajam, category-B militant of Danweth, Kokernag who joined LeT ranks in January this year while the third militant is believed to from Pakistan.
Close to hundred youths, most of them from south Kashmir, have joined various militant outfits, according to official data, following Burhan's killing, with officials suspecting that many more are waiting in line to pick up arms.
Yesterday, in a statement, the J&K Police said it has held eight minor boys in the last month who had planned to joined militancy. The detainees were "counselled" and later handed over to their parents, a police spokesman said.
The latest militant killings come as the security forces have intensified counter-insurgency operations by launching a massive crackdown against separatists and their sympathisers in Kashmir.
The NIA has also opened cases against senior Hurriyat leaders, including veteran Hurriyat leader, Syed Ali Geelani's son-in-law, in what is seen as an "arm-twisting" tactic of the central government.
In a recent interview with a national daily, J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti again reiterated her promise of holding talks with separatists for resolving the Kashmir problem but in absence of political will in New Delhi, the situation is deteriorating in the Valley.

Q: Flickity Carousel - autoPlay stops after user interaction I have a Flickity Carousel which contains a testimonial. The carousel is set to autoplay.
The problem is if the user clicks on the dots or on the next / previous button the autoPlay stops.
This is what I have:
JS
var flkty = new Flickity( '.main-gallery', {
  cellAlign: 'left',
  contain: true,
  wrapAround: true,
  prevNextButtons: true,
  autoPlay: 5000
});

HTML

"Comment."

      Author

"Comment."

      Author

"Comment."

      Author

Please assist me to let the autoPlay continue and don't stop after a user is interacting with the dots or next/prev button.

A: I solved this question the following way:

*

*Catch 'pointerUp' event that is called after you interact with the slider.

*Resume auto play when event is fired.

The following code demonstrates this behavior:
currentFlickity.on('pointerUp', function (event, pointer) {
        currentFlickity.player.play();
    });

A: This part of code should help
change: () => {
  (flRef as any).current?.flkty.player.play()
}

And a full example inside the functional component with React hooks
change event will fire on every slide change (index change)
import React, { useRef } from 'react'
import Flickity from 'react-flickity-component'
import { Link } from '../../i18n'

export default function HomeSlider(props) {
  const { slides} = props

  const flRef = useRef()

  return (

      <Flickity
        flickityRef={() => {}}
        ref={flRef}
        static
        options={{
          wrapAround: true,
          freeScroll: false,
          initialIndex: 1,
          autoPlay: 6000,
          lazyLoad: true,
          adaptiveHeight: true,
          on: {
            ready: () => {
              console.log('Flickity ready', flRef.current)
            },
            change: () => {
              (flRef as any).current?.flkty.player.play()
            }
          }
        } as any}>
          {
            slides?.length > 0 && slides.map(slide => (

                <Link href={slide?.details_button_url || '/'}>

                </Link>

            ))
          }
      </Flickity>

  )
}

A: All of the other solutions stop and restart the player when clicking, which is not ideal. To prevent the player from stopping the timer at all when clicking you can do this:
$( '.my-slider' ).flickity( {
    autoPlay: 5000,
    pauseAutoPlayOnHover: false,
    on: {
        ready: function() {
            this.off( 'uiChange', this.stopPlayer );
            this.off( 'pointerDown', this.stopPlayer );
        }
    }
} );

This is for Flickity v2.3.0. I'm not sure if it works in other versions.

A: Try this:
this.flickity.on(`uiChange`, function() {
        currentFlickity.player.play();
      });

It worked for me.

A: You must replay the autoplay whenever pointerUp and change are triggered.

Q: Difference between pseudo class, pseudo selector, and pseudo element in CSS
Possible Duplicate:
What is the difference between a pseudo-class and a pseudo-element in CSS?

What do the following mean in CSS?

*

*Pseudo class

*Pseudo selectors

*Pseudo element

What is the usefulness of each?

A: Pseudo-classes are used to select elements according to information that you can't otherwise express using attributes, IDs or classes (or any other info available through the DOM). For example, :root, :first-child, :last-child, :lang() and :not().
Pseudo-elements are mock elements that you can apply styles to selectively as part of other actual elements, but aren't themselves members of the DOM. For example, content fragments such as ::first-line and ::first-letter, or generated content such as ::before and ::after.
"Pseudo-selectors" is an umbrella term used to cover both kinds of selectors (or really any selector that begins with at least one :), but it is itself meaningless, because in Selectors, pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements are two fundamentally different things.

Infected...new zombie!
PUBG Mobile gets new Infection mode
Survive until dawn or infect the humans in PUBG Mobile's new mode
Samuel Tolbert
Update 0.14.0 has arrived for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Mobile (PUBG Mobile).
The free update adds an Infection mode, pitting Defenders with guns against the melee-only hordes of Infected.
This update also continues the nautical theme that was started with Season 8.
The 0.14.0 content update is here for PUBG Mobile, and this update brings something a little spookier than usual: a full-on Infection mode. Earlier this year, there was a crossover event with Resident Evil 2. Now, it's all-out player vs player zombie vs human combat. Players join one of two groups in a match, the Defenders or the Infected.
The Defenders can still use firearms, while the Infected are limited to melee attacks and some cooldown-based special abilities. The Infected also infect any members of the Defenders that they manage to kill, so the number of humans will dwindle as the match goes on. The Defenders have to last until dawn, while the Infected need to bring down every Defender.
There are a few other non-zombie items in this latest update as well. Season 8 is still going strong, and the aquatic theme is continuing. As such, there's different items and daily challenges for players to unlock. There's also some platform-specific upgrades. The size of the game's installation package on Android has been reduced and in-game items that aren't frequently being used can be stored in the Resources Extension Pack until they are required.

Legend, Myth and Fraud in Cycling Culture.
Oddy, Nicholas (2012) Legend, Myth and Fraud in Cycling Culture. In: Cycle History. Proceedings of the International Cycling History Conference, 22 (22). Cycling History (Publishing) Ltd (Cylnig History & Educational Trust), Birmingham, pp. 224-228. ISBN 978-09573427-1-2
(1MB)
Dandy Chargers meeting illustrated on the �Veteran- Cycle Club web ... (19kB)
To what extent does cycling need myth? The ICHC has, since its inception in 1990, set out to question accepted factual history. Its successes have been significant and it seems appropriate that as the conference 'comes of age', it does so on the 150th anniversary and on the native ground of the oft claimed 'invention' of the front-driven velocipede, an anniversary that is now discredited at academic level, but is still 'live' in the public mind. It is not the only one. Almost all cycling myths live on in popular accounts regardless of revisionism. Once they have been established they seem almost impossible to eliminate.
The nature of myth and constructed history for popular consumption has been a topic of academic debate since the rise of the theme park and costume drama as significant disseminators of popular history in the 1980s. It was an interesting coincidence that the first ICHC was organised at the close of a decade that more or less opened with the publication of Michael Thompson's Rubbish Theory (1979) and then had seen the publications of works such as Hobsbawm and Trevor-Roper The Invention of Tradition (1983), Patrick Wright On Living in An Old Country (1984), David Lowenthal The Past is a Foreign Country (1986) and a host of others, including the polemic by Robert Hewison The Heritage Industry (1987). In all of these works, in spite of their questioning stance, there is an underlying acceptance that myth is both an embedded part of culture and a saleable commodity.
This paper does not set out to enter the debates surrounding the sequence of historical events, but rather considers the nature of myth as it relates to cycling. By exploring the constructs of the heroic individual, the seminal invention and the machine in use, it examines the nature of popular history and the development of simple, linear narratives punctuated by events as a key tool of understanding.

No, Afghanistan's mines are not worth £800 billion
The government appears powerless to take back the operation and officials admit that the Taliban have greater control than they do over Afghanistan's mining industry and its mineral wealth, valued at more than £800 billion. In fact, mining has become the group's second-biggest income source after the opium trade, while government revenues have dwindled.
Lapis, prized for its intense blue colour, has been mined in Afghanistan for 9,000 years.
Nato forces hoped that the country's mineral wealth would underpin its recovery when they ended combat operations in 2014. However, riddled with corruption and damned by mismanagement, the mining industry has been reduced to a shambles as the state is fractured by the insurgency.
Sigh. That £800 billion comes from a Pentagon report (of $1 trillion). But that's the value of the minerals after they have been dug up and sold. It does not include the costs of doing the digging up, it's a gross revenue number, not a margin one.
The Taliban are mining lapis lazuli in northern Afghanistan, marble and coal in central, southern and western provinces, and gypsum, chrome ore and talc in the east. A report by the Global Witness NGO last year placed their earnings from lapis alone at £16 million a year.
Even that's not right:
In 2014 the two mining areas of Deodarra and Kuran wa Munjan alone provided around $20m to armed groups, according to rough but conservative estimates – equivalent to the government's declared revenue from the entire extractive sector in 2013. This includes about $18m to Commander Malek and informal armed groups linked to him, and more than $1m each to the Taliban and to armed groups mainly allegedly associated with Zulmai Mujadidi.
Armed groups made at least $12m from lapis in 2015, according to rough but credible estimates, with a government ban on the trade in early 2015 countered by massive smuggling through the Panjshir valley. The Taliban increased their share of this as their strength grew, to an estimated $4m. As of mid 2016, payments to the Taliban reportedly amount to at least 50% of the revenue from the mines.

I think the real question is why are journalists so f*cking stupid? What are they learning on their journalism degree courses – apart from pop Marxism?
How hard is it to teach them even the basics of the real world? Why do the editors never learn from angry readers' letters? Why don't they make them learn something about the subjects they cover?
Newspapers are dying. This is, at best, a mild shame. But their f**king incompetence means it is a suicide, not a homicide. If they can't understand the simplest concepts, why should the rest of us put up with being patronized by our patent inferiors?

You can see why some of them complained about the BTL comments, and wanted them gone, can't you?
http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/09/comment-threads-closing-thankfully-underpants-brigade-won/
With one reader replying:
"Now we face competition … " betrays the real reason why the comment threads are being turned off. Columnists didn't like the tripe that they often spouted being so quickly held up to scrutiny at the foot of their columns."
Meanwhile in other news an industry front group touts for lots of business:
You can tell even the BBC is a bit embarrassed by this, as they leave it to the eighth paragraph to identify who the report is from, merely coyly referring to them as "experts" in the first paragraph.
I resent that column. Angrily.

I rather like lapis. I was looking at a necklace earing combination before Xmas. Beautiful subtle colour, so well complimented by yellow gold. But Her Ladyship was totally disinterested. Prefers the vibrancy of turquoise/silver or jade..
Which is the problem. There really isn't much of a market for the stuff. The art paint industry still consumes some, but hardly in large quantities. Increase the supply & you'd simply bottom the market. So unless you can convince one of the Royal Spouses to develop a lapis fetish, whatever value they're putting on it as a "resource" is mostly fantacy.

Growing up in foster care, there wasn't a lot Cindy Martinez could count on. But over the years, she's been able to depend on Buckner International, a Dallas-based Christian ministry dedicated to helping children.
When Martinez entered foster care at age 11, Buckner was there. And when she turned 18 and she was left on her own, Buckner was there.
Through their aid, she moved into an apartment at My Father's House, the program's Lubbock assisted-living center, and began attending classes at South Plains College. And when her health began failing and she needed to take time off from school for an operation, once again Buckner was there.
Martinez has since recovered and is working at Wal-Mart, preparing to return to school next semester. She said she doesn't know where she'd be without the organization's aid.
"I think it's kept me safe and sane," she said.
Now Buckner leaders are working to implement a transition center to help more former foster children like Martinez. It's one of the ways the group's new president Albert Reyes is trying to build up the groundwork already laid by past leaders, he said during his Tuesday visit to My Father's House in Lubbock.
After serving as president of Buckner Children Family Service for two years, Reyes took on the role of Buckner International president in January. He stopped by Lubbock to meet with employees and some of the women they assist during his 10-city tour through Texas.
Across the world, Buckner aids children by providing them with educational, financial and emotional support. In Lubbock, the ministry sponsors My Father's House, which helps at-risk women and their children get back on track.
"We just sort of restart the family," Reyes said. "There are children who just don't have a chance."
Reyes hopes to strengthen preexisting and build new partnerships with area businesses and churches. The collaboration allows Buckner to do the work for which it is known.
"We can't do our work without the community here," Reyes said.
The work he refers to includes the transition center, which leaders hope to open sometime within the next year, said Tommy Speed, Buckner Children and Family Services administrator.
Martinez was once an exception. Typically, when foster children turn 18 they're released from the program. They receive some guidance, but not as much as Martinez, Speed said.
Buckner already has a similar program in place that offers advice to teens being released from foster care, but they hope to build upon it. The transition center will put the teens in direct contact with organizations like the Texas Workforce Commission and area colleges so they don't have to seek them out on their own.
A transition center has already been established in Beaumont.
"It's hard to go in and ask for help," Speed said. "This takes away some of the stigma."

Figure 9.2: Histology image of the arterial cross section.
1. Tunica intima: It is the innermost layer which consists of the endothelium (a simple squamous epithelium) and a small amount of underlying connective tissue. In arteries it also includes the internal elastic lamina, which is often seen as a thick wavy band surrounding the lumen of the vessel.
2. Tunica media: This is the middle layer made up mainly of smooth muscle cells. In arteries it is the thickest layer.
3. Tunica adventitia: It is the outer layer made up of loose connective tissue (collagen fibers, fibroblasts) along with some smooth muscle cells. It is the thickest layer in veins (particularly the larger veins).
Thus we see that quantification of walls and the classification of plaque components is of utmost importance. In the next section we discuss the research groups who have done work in this direction.

79 Social Media Facts That Reveal How Our World Is Changing by Jeff Bullas
Social media is an addiction.
Well, it is for many of us. Most people can't walk straight these days as they have their head in the mobile phone and one eye on the pavement. If someone from 100 years ago was transported to 2016, they would think we were mad as we talk to ourselves with white wires hanging from our ears!
So why are we so captivated?
It's about human connection at scale that networks us to billions of people. We are curious about the impact of our creations. Will they like it? Are they sharing my thoughts, photos and videos?1
It also gives us a voice.
Social media makes us feel empowered
This intersection of humanity and technology is human super consciousness enabled by hardware, apps and wireless connectivity. It's a global mind meld that allows us to share thoughts, feelings and images with our family and friends no matter where we or they are. Virtual reality is becoming the reality. Social media is now a big part of that reality.
We can also join in global engagement of our individual interests.
A niche interest in playing a certain online game, sharing train watching ideas and cave diving tips can now be indulged with other like minded humans that become our global interest tribes. You no longer have to drive or fly to join or create a conversation. Skype, Periscope or Blab can help you connect from home.
It's hyper connectivity at scale. It's changing the world as we know it. And we don't know where it is going.
Keep innovating
The social web and the digital world is forcing business to think different about its marketing, what content it creates and to focus on innovation.
What worked just 5 years ago doesn't work today.
Relying on organic traffic from Facebook shares was the main social sharing tactic 5 years ago now. We now know we need to pay for that traffic in 2016!
So you need to try the other options. These include:
Flipboard: Over 70 million users
WhatsApp: Just cracked the 1 billion user mark
Snapchat: Reported to have 100 million users2
Social media is splintering. It's no longer just about Facebook.
So the social sharing buttons need to be updated. I have now added Flipboard and WhatsApp. To help me do that I use one of the best Apps for bloggers and website owners.. (an awesome app called SumoMe).
It allows me to easily connect and update my sharing buttons (plus 11+ other cool options) which can be a floating sidebar, at the top or sitting at the bottom of the page.

Not only that but it provides you with great metrics and stats. Here is some of the data that you can get from the dashboard.

Above is my first day of metrics capture. The data that shows on a mouseover is also very insightful.
Here are the share splits.
Twitter was top at 63
LinkedIn was next at 17
Pinterest – 16
Email – 15
Facebook -12
Google+ -10
WhatsApp – 9
Buffer – 6
Flipboard – 2
What surprised me was how many people shared via email, WhatsApp and also FlipBoard. So we have the old and the new! Shows you not assume how and what people share. You need to know the data so you can optimize and maximize your sharing.
If you want to know some more about SumoMe check out this post on "How to Double Your Traffic Without Paying Google or Facebook a Cent". Where I take a closer look at the key 12+ tools you can use to double your traffic.
The social web will amplify brand awareness, grow your traffic and increase leads and sales if it is done well.
Flipboard goes viral
Three weeks ago something happened that surprised me.
I published a post "7 Inspiring Books You Must Read" and then I flipped that post into one of my personal Flipboard magazines where I put all my blog posts.
A couple of hours later my traffic blew up.
I found the major source for the traffic of 200 readers a minute was coming from Flipboard.
Flipboard is a social-network aggregation magazine format mobile app that was founded in 2010 and I joined up a few years ago and have been playing at its edges . But the traffic it is driving in 2016 to my site is now very surprising but welcome.

So after that small digression let's have a closer look at the social media facts that behind how the social web is changing how we communicate, market and create content.
Facebook owns some companies that you maybe aren't aware of. Instagram(bought for $1billion), Occulus Rift (for $2 billion) and WhatsApp (purchase price of $19 billion). These are some of the Facebook facts from their investor relations division
Monthly active users (MAUs) – MAUs were 1.59 billion as of December 31, 2015, an increase of 14% year-over-year.
Revenue – Revenue for the full year 2015 was $17.93 billion, an increase of 44% year-over-year.
Income from operations – Income from operations for the full year 2015 was $6.23 billion.
Net income – Net income for the full year 2015 was $3.69 billion.
Free cash flow – Free cash flow for the full year 2015 was $6.08 billion.
Daily active users (DAUs) – DAUs were 1.04 billion on average for December 2015, an increase of 17% year-over-year.
Mobile DAUs – Mobile DAUs were 934 million on average for December 2015, an increase of 25% year-over-year.

The role of mobile is a staggering 80% of all advertising revenue. The money machine rolls on.
Twitter in the last 12 months has taken a battering in the press, lost it's CEO and is still struggling to monetise its platform. But it has a truckload of cash in reserves (at $3.5 billion) and at the current burn rate will be around for another 412 years according to USA Today.
320 Million users
Twitter will be offering live embedded feeds from Periscope directly in the Twitter feed via the Twitter app on the Apple iOS.
120 million monthly users
500 million tweets are sent per day
Below are some more stats.

Image source Twitter:
Snapchat launched in 2011 and was initially almost dismissed as a joke. A fad that would pass. It was reported that Facebook offered $3 billion to buy the company and everyone thought they were mad to reject it.
But the facts in 2016 show a different story.
100 million active daily users
18% of all social media users in the USA use Snapchat
30% of all US. millennials use the network
8,796 photos a second are shared on Snapchat
Snapchat is reputed to have 5% of the overall selfie market

WhatsApp facts
This story behind the brand name was a play on words of "What's Up". Facebook bought it for $19 billion on Valentine's Day, 2014 after beating Google's offer of $10 billion.
It's core philosophy is simplicity.
This is a little different to how Google approached the concept with Google+. Which was more about the big bang and big bucks theory of beating Facebook. We know how that strategy played out.
So here are some of the facts behind WhatsApp.
Founded in 2009 by Jan Koum and Brian Acton
Just hit 1 billion users
7oo million pictures get shared on the platform daily
100 million new users are added daily
More than 100 million videos are shared daily
The average user send more than 1000 messages per month on WhatsApp
Average user checks the app 23 times per day

Infographic source: Shoponless.com
Google+ facts
Google+ seems to have become more about one of its key features. Google+ Hangouts. Google+ has even admitted that Google+ maybe split up into its functional parts.
Maybe the problem was that it tried to do too much rather than start simple and evolve. Cases to prove that simple works include Twitter, Snapchat and WhatsApp.
It's big bang theory that imploded after investing over half a billion in it's design and development. Deep pockets don't always win.
Google won at search but not social.
Despite that here are some figures I managed to dig up.
There are 2.2 billion G+ profiles
Only 9% have any publicly posted content. Do the math. That's 198 million that published!1
37% mentioned that those activities were comments on YouTube videos
Statas source: Socialscoremedia
Instagram facts
Instagram has now passed Twitter in the user count and it looks like it is Facebook's best investment. After buying it for $1 billion on April 9, 2012… Citibank valued it at $35 billion just before the start of 2015 when it had 300 million users.
At the beginning of 2016 it has even more. Here are some facts about Instagram to ponder.
Instagram has 420 million users
Users share 70 million photos a day
Instagram is considered the most important social network by American teens than any other network at 32% vs 24% for Twitter and Facebook at 14%.

Pinterest facts
Pinterest feels like it has been around forever. But it hasn't. On the social media scene it is almost middle aged. It started in 2009.
Here are a few facts that you may use when planning your social media marketing.
80% are female
30% of US social media users are on Pinterest

Flipboard facts
So I am maybe pushing the boundaries of what is a social network but Flipboard does allow sharing, content publishing and comments.

Gregory Kurtley van der Wiel (Amsterdam, 3 februari 1988) is een voormalig Nederlands profvoetballer die bij voorkeur als rechtsback speelde. Hij kwam in zijn carrière uit voor Ajax, Paris Saint-Germain, Fenerbahçe SK, Cagliari Calcio, Toronto FC en was van 2009 tot 2015 international van het Nederlands voetbalelftal, waarvoor hij 46 interlands speelde, waaronder de WK finale tegen Spanje.

Clubcarrière

Ajax
Van der Wiel is een zoon van een Curaçaose vader en een Nederlandse moeder. Hij begon met voetballen bij DCG. Daar werd hij op zevenjarige leeftijd gescout door Ajax. Van der Wiel doorliep een deel van de jeugdopleiding bij Ajax. In juni 2002 vertrok hij naar Haarlem, waarmee de Amsterdamse club een samenwerkingsverband had. De Amsterdammers stuurden hem wegens een slechte mentaliteit weg. Van der Wiel revancheerde zich en keerde in 2005 terug op het oude nest en sloot zich aan bij de Ajax A1.

Bij Ajax stroomde hij door naar Jong Ajax. Hier werd hij aanvoerder en al snel werd hij bij het eerste elftal gehaald.
Op 11 maart 2007 in een uitwedstrijd tegen FC Twente maakte hij daar zijn debuut. Hij verving de geblesseerde aanvoerder Jaap Stam. Dit was al bijna aan het einde van dat lopende seizoen, Van der Wiel kwam in dat seizoen tot vier wedstrijden, waarin hij geen doelpunt maakte.

Gedurende het seizoen 2007/2008 maakte Van der Wiel zo nu en dan minuten door in te vallen. Hij speelde zes wedstrijden en wist wederom geen doelpunt te maken. Wel werd zijn talent steeds meer erkend. Het daaropvolgende seizoen werd Van der Wiel een basisspeler. Pas in 2009 maakte hij zijn eerste doelpunt, tegen FC Utrecht. Met zijn wedstrijden in de hoofdmacht liet hij een dusdanige indruk achter dat Ajax zijn contract tot medio 2013 verlengde. In dat seizoen scoorde Van der Wiel twee keer in 32 wedstrijden.

Ook aan het begin van het seizoen 2009/10 was hij een vaste waarde in het eerste elftal. Van der Wiel was in het seizoen 2009-2010 de enige veldspeler in de Eredivisie die geen enkele minuut miste. Ook de doelpunten die hij tot dan toe maakte vormden een opmerkelijke statistiek. Met zes treffers stond hij op gelijke hoogte met FC Groningen-verdediger Andreas Granqvist. Hij scoorde zes keer in 34 wedstrijden. Aan het eind van dat seizoen werd hij verkozen tot 'Talent van het Jaar'.

Nu hij basisklant van Ajax en het Nederlands elftal was, bereikte Ajax overeenstemming met FC Bayern München over een transfer. Uiteindelijk zagen de Duitsers hier toch van af. Van der Wiel bleef dus bij Ajax.

Ook in het seizoen 2010/2011 was Van der Wiel een vaste waarde. De rechtsback beleefde vlak na het WK een wat mindere periode. Hij werd met Ajax kampioen. Het seizoen daarna werd gekenmerkt door blessureleed. Zijn contract bij Ajax liep in medio 2013 af, vandaar dat de Amsterdamse club hem in de etalage zette.

Paris Saint-Germain
Op 1 september 2012 werd bekend dat Van der Wiel Ajax verruilde voor Paris Saint-Germain. Hier zou hij gaan spelen met rugnummer 23. Van der Wiel maakte voor Paris Saint-Germain op 22 september 2012 zijn debuut in de uitwedstrijd tegen SC Bastia (0-4). Hij speelde de gehele wedstrijd rechts achterin.

In de meeste wedstrijden moet Van der Wiel aanvoerder Christophe Jallet, die ook een rechtsback is, voor zich dulden. Op 3 oktober 2012 maakte van der Wiel zijn Europese debuut voor Paris Saint-Germain in de UEFA Champions League wedstrijd uit bij FC Porto. De wedstrijd werd met 1-0 verloren en Van der Wiel werd in de 66e minuut vervangen door Jallet. Op 1 februari 2013 maakte Van der Wiel zijn eerste doelpunt voor Paris Saint-Germain. Hij scoorde de 0-4 in de uitwedstrijd tegen Toulouse FC, tevens de eindstand.

Met Paris Saint-Germain bereikt hij de kwartfinale van de UEFA Champions League 2012/13 hierin werden de Fransen uitgeschakeld door FC Barcelona. In de tweede wedstrijd in Camp Nou mocht van der Wiel in de 88e minuut invallen, de wedstrijd eindigde in 1-1. De eerste wedstrijd kwam hij niet in actie. In totaal speelde Van der Wiel vijf wedstrijden voor PSG in de UEFA Champions League 2012/13.

Op 12 mei 2013 werd Paris Saint-Germain kampioen van Frankrijk. Uit bij Olympique Lyonnais werd met een 1-0-overwinning de derde titel in de historie van de club veilig gesteld. Van der Wiel bleef de gehele wedstrijd op de bank zitten.

In zijn tweede seizoen bij PSG ging het veel beter. Van der Wiel veroverde een basisplaats en werd opgenomen in het sterrenteam van 2013 van L'equipe. Ook door de lezers van de krant werd hij in het sterrenelftal verkozen. Op 19 januari 2014 speelde Van der Wiel zijn 50ste officiële wedstrijd voor Paris Saint-Germain in de competitiewedstrijd die thuis werd gewonnen met 5-0 van FC Nantes.

Tijdens het seizoen 2015/16 was Van der Wiel allesbehalve zeker van een basisplaats. In de Ligue 1 kwam hij tot zeventien wedstrijden. Op 14 mei 2016 werd bekend dat Van der Wiel geen nieuw contract kreeg en daarmee transfervrij op zoek kon gaan naar een nieuwe club.

Fenerbahçe SK
Van der Wiel tekende in juli 2016 een contract tot medio 2020 bij Fenerbahçe SK, de nummer twee van Turkije in het voorgaande seizoen. Van der Wiel maakte zijn officiële debuut voor Fenerbahçe op 27 juli 2016 in de derde voorronde van de Champions League. Op die dag speelde Fenerbahçe een thuiswedstrijd tegen AS Monaco die het met 2-1 wist te winnen. Van der Wiel gaf de assist op de 2-1 van Emmanuel Emenike. In de blessuretijd werd hij nog vervangen door Miroslav Stoch.

Cagliari
Van der Wiel tekende in augustus 2017 een contract tot 2020 bij Cagliari, de nummer elf van de Serie A in het voorgaande seizoen.

Toronto FC
Van der Wiel tekende op 1 februari 2018 een contract bij Toronto FC. Met deze ploeg bereikte van der Wiel in 2018 de finale van de CONCACAF Champions League. Uiteindelijk werd er na strafschoppen verloren van Chivas Guadalajara. In januari 2019 vertrok Van der Wiel bij Toronto na een conflict met de trainer. Hij verhuisde naar Los Angeles en probeerde daar een contract bij een van de clubs daar af te dwingen. In augustus 2019 maakte Van der Wiel bekend op 31-jarige leeftijd te stoppen als profvoetballer. De voormalig rechtsachter van Ajax wil zich gaan richten op zijn carrière als zakenman en entrepreneur.

RKC Waalwijk
In augustus 2020 keerde Van der Wiel verrassend terug in het betaalde voetbal door zich aan te sluiten bij de selectie van RKC Waalwijk. Hij vertelde er openhartig over de angstklachten die hij sinds het onverwachte einde van zijn carrière en het wegvallen van structuur en doel kreeg. In oktober 2021 maakte hij bekend dat zijn profcarrière definitief beëindigd is.

Clubstatistieken

Interlandcarrière

Jeugdelftallen
Als jeugdinternational was Van der Wiel actief voor Nederland onder 19, 20 en 21 jaar.

Nederlands elftal
Van der Wiel maakte onder bondscoach Bert van Marwijk op 11 februari 2009 zijn interlanddebuut, toen hij in de 84e minuut inviel tegen Tunesië als vervanger van John Heitinga. Op 28 maart 2009 maakte hij zijn debuut in de basis van het Nederlands elftal in een met 3-0 gewonnen wedstrijd tegen Schotland. Hij speelde de gehele wedstrijd.

Van der Wiel groeide uit tot vaste rechtsback in het Nederlands elftal. Hij speelde onder meer mee op het WK 2010 in Zuid-Afrika, waar hij op 22-jarige leeftijd de finale speelde en het EK 2012 in Polen en Oekraïne.

Op 25 september 2013 werd Van der Wiel voor de eerste keer na het EK 2012 en sinds zijn vertrek naar Paris Saint-Germain door de nieuwe bondscoach Louis van Gaal opgenomen in een (voor)selectie van het Nederlands elftal. Op 4 oktober 2013 maakte van Gaal bekend dat Van der Wiel ook deel uitmaakte van de definitieve selectie. Door een blessure moest hij afhaken. Daarna werd Van der Wiel opnieuw opgeroepen door Van Gaal voor de interlands tegen Japan en Colombia op 15 en 19 november 2013. Op 19 november 2013, ruim een jaar na zijn laatste interland, speelde Van der Wiel zijn eerste interlandwedstrijd onder Van Gaal. In de wedstrijd thuis tegen Colombia, die in 0-0 eindigde, speelde hij de hele wedstrijd.

Op 13 mei 2014 maakte Van Gaal bekend dat hij Van der Wiel niet mee zou nemen naar het wereldkampioenschap voetbal 2014 in Brazilië. Dit had te maken met een kniepeesblessure waarmee Van der Wiel kampte.

Erelijst

Individueel

Twitteraffaire
De nasleep van een hersenschudding die Van der Wiel op 4 oktober 2009 opliep tijdens een uitwedstrijd van Ajax tegen Roda JC veroorzaakte enige opschudding. Het werd Van der Wiel door de clubarts van Ajax verboden om te vliegen. Hierdoor kon hij niet naar Australië voor een oefenduel van het Nederlands elftal afreizen. In de vroege morgen van 7 oktober plaatste Van der Wiel echter het bericht op zijn Twitterpagina dat hij een rapconcert van rapper Lil' Wayne had bijgewoond. Bij dit bericht had hij tevens een foto geplaatst waarop hij met de rapper poseerde. Bondscoach Bert van Marwijk, die werd geconfronteerd met het nieuws zei hierop: "Hij mocht van de clubarts van Ajax niet vliegen. Ik ben geen arts dus wie ben ik om daar iets van te zeggen. Maar het is wel raar dat hij dan wel bij een concert is. Als we terug zijn in Nederland moet ik het er maar eens een keer rustig met hem over hebben. Tot dan kan ik er weinig over zeggen." Van der Wiel bezocht het concert samen met ploeggenoten Thimothée Atouba, Marvin Zeegelaar en Kenneth Vermeer.

Oplichting
In mei 2017 maakte Van der Wiel wereldkundig dat hij voor een bedrag van 4,5 miljoen Amerikaanse dollar zou zijn opgelicht.

Privé
Van der Wiel had een relatie met het Belgische model Rose Bertram (1994). Het paar heeft twee dochters (2018 en 2021) en ging begin 2022 uitelkaar.

Captain Gysi und das Raumschiff Bonn

Review by Mr Creosote (2001-10-05)
A dark backroom filled with smoke. The evil masterminds had a meeting. "How can we achieve world domination the fastest way?", asked the overweight boss. The suspicious looking man on his right was playing with his knife but his mouth remained closed. For the first time, we can see the third man's face. He had been slumped back into his chair but now he was leaning forward on the table. He was wearing thick glasses, the little hair which is left was completely white. He's wearing a brown suit. "Can't we just do it like in the old days? Let's just fake the results of the elections!" Fury was glowing in the big cheese's eyes. "Stupid fool!", he shouted out, "Oh Great Satan, why do I have to be surrounded by such idiots?". Suddenly, a slim shadowy figure stepped out of a dark corner. The three looked surprised - they obviously had no idea there was someone else in the room. Stunned by the shock, they just looked at the mysterious man eyes wide open. Tension was building up in the air, the silence would have killed every normal being. At last, the figure began to speak: "I come directly from the the nameless one you serve." "You mean.....", was all the big cheese could gasp pointing his head eastwards. "Silence!" Despite his unimpressive appearance, the unknown person seemed to have some kind of natural authority over all the other men. "Listen to me carefully as I'll only say it once: the youth of today is the future voters. Control the youth, and the future is yours!" In the very next moment, the figure was gone again - as suddenly as it had appeared. But he had left inspiration in the other men's heads. "Heureka! Let's make a computer game!", they shouted unisono.
This is how Captain Gysi und das Raumschiff Bonn came into existence. Or maybe not - I could have made this all up. But you'll have to live with the paining uncertainity! Some facts now. This game has been published by a German political party: the PDS. That's the Party of Democratic Socialism - the direct follow-up of the party which ruled the GDR with an iron fist. Nowadays, they always have to struggle to get into the parliament at all. In the western part, they are close to non-existent, in the eastern part however, they're still popular especially with older people.
The title hero of the game, Gregor Gysi is their best known and most respected member. One of the very few figures which actually could have a chance to get voted. So before the election of the parliament in 1998, the PDS decided a bit 'different' advertising can't hurt. The result is a pretty short and easy Adventure in classical style.
The controls could have been taken out of a Westwood Adventure: the omnipotent left click combined with the examining right click. Combined with the low number of locations and the puzzles ranging from obvious to brain-insulting, it's no problem solving the game within half an hour.
So the PDS programmers didn't stress the game aspect that much. Instead, they made sure the advertisement is actually implemented into the gameplay! Unlike in most other promotial games, the story itself is the not-so-subtle message. All the characters are taken from German politics, each item is some kind of allusion to a government decision. Even the rooms and decks of the spaceship are named after people!
Unfortunately, the advertisement level somehow kills a bit of the fun: it's just too much! Not subtle satire, but they try hammering it into your head! Don't get me wrong here, I don't consider this game stupid propaganda. In many cases, the criticism mentions the correct points. But this game is supposed to be funny. And it's as funny as Laurel & Hardy or circus clowns! Not quite what you expect from a political satire.
The positive aspects (professional game design, fair and logical puzzles) make it worth playing though. After all, it can never hurt to see things from another perspective, can it? Isn't that what democracy is all about?

United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) is een onderdeel van de Amerikaanse krijgsmacht dat ondergeschikt is aan het United States Strategic Command. Het U.S. Cyber Command is gevestigd in Fort George G. Meade in Maryland, vanwaaruit het commando bij cyberspaceoperaties wordt gecoördineerd en de verschillende Amerikaanse militaire netwerken op elkaar worden afgestemd. De commandant van het Cyber Command is tevens de directeur van de afluisterdienst National Security Agency (NSA).

Missie
USCYBERCOM plant, coördineert, integreert, synchroniseert en staat in voor de uitvoering van bepaalde activiteiten zoals het leiden van werkzaamheden en de verdediging voorzien van bepaalde informatienetwerken die behoren tot het Ministerie van Defensie. Daarnaast staat het USCYBERCOM in voor de nodige voorbereiding om acties mogelijk te maken op alle domeinen. USCYBERCOM voorziet de nodige vrijheid voor de Amerikanen en hun geallieerden binnen cyberspace en stelt hen in staat om de gewenste handeling te volbrengen. Bijhorend ontneemt het U.S. Cyber Command de vrijheid van de Amerikaanse tegenstanders tot het volbrengen van ongewenste handelingen binnen cyberspace.

Het USCYBERCOM is een offensief team die instaat voor de verdediging van het land tegen cyberaanvallen. In totaliteit omvat het USCYBERCOM 13 operationele teams die de veiligheid van het land waarborgen. Het USCYBERCOM is het centraal punt voor cyberspace-operaties en staat in voor het versterken van DoD-cyberspace (Department of Defense Strategy for Operating in Cyberspace) mogelijkheden en de integratie en versterking van DoD-cyberdeskundigheid.

Achtergrond
In 2006 kondigde de U.S. Air Force het idee aan om een 'Cyber Command' op te richten. In november 2006 werd een voorlopige 'Air Force Cyber Command' opgericht. In oktober 2008 werd bekendgemaakt dat het commando niet permanent actief zou zijn.

In mei 2010 definieerde Richard A. Clarke in zijn boek Cyber War, "cyberoorlog" als een fenomeen waarbij een natiestaat een aanval en/of actie opricht tegen een andere natie met als doel de computers of netwerken van deze staat binnen te dringen en de nodige schade of verstoring te veroorzaken. Cyberoorlog werd in 2010 benoemd als vijfde pijler binnen de oorlogsvoering. William J. Lynn, de Amerikaanse adjunct-minister van Defensie, stelt dat het Pentagon als leerstellige omgeving, genoodzaakt is om cyberspace te erkennen als nieuw domein binnen de oorlogsvoering.

In mei 2010 richtte het Pentagon haar nieuwe U.S. Cyber Command onder leiding van viersterrengeneraal Generaal Keith Alexander op. Diezelfde maand formuleerde generaal Generaal Keith Alexander zijn visie in een rapport voor het United States House Committee on Armed Services betreffende het USCYBERCOM. USCYBERCOM bereikte zijn volledige operationele capaciteit op 31 oktober 2010.

Internationale effecten en reacties
De oprichting van het USCYBERCOM heeft heel wat andere landen gemotiveerd. In december 2009 kondigde Zuid-Korea de oprichting van een Cyber Warface Commando aan. Naar verluidt was dit een reactie op de oprichting van een cyberoorlog eenheid van Noord-Korea. Daarnaast is het Britse hoofdkwartier voor communicatie gestart met voorbereidingen voor een cyberafdeling. In 2010 heeft China zijn eerste departement inzake defensieve cyberoorlog en informatiebeveiliging aangekondigd als reactie op het USCYBERCOM. Op 1 januari 2013 werd het European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) opgericht door Europol, sinds 11 januari is het EC3 actief en staat het in voor een veilige cyberomgeving binnen de Europese Unie.

Leiderschap

Toekomst
Het USCYBERCOM heeft zijn voorgangers meermaals bewezen dat, binnen de huidige evoluerende cybersamenleving, de toekomstperspectieven onmogelijk te voorspellen zijn. Vijftien jaar heeft het leger geprobeerd om de werking van het cybermilieu te normaliseren, maar de betekenis van wat het 'normale' is, loopt synchroon met de tijd.
