T20 World Cup: Kohli bows out with a win as India head home
Virat Kohli's tenure as India captain in the shortest format came to an end with a nine-wicket victory over Namibia as his team bowed out of the T20 World Cup.
India's slim hopes of securing a semi-final place were dashed on Sunday when New Zealand beat Afghanistan, meaning Monday's match in Dubai, the final game of the Super 12s stage, was Kohli's last as T20 skipper.
Kohli, who turned 33 last week, is stepping down from leading India in T20Is, though he will stay on as ODI and Test captain. Coach Ravi Shastri is also leaving his role.
Having won the toss and elected to field first, Kohli decided not to come out ahead of Suryakumar Yadav after Rohit Sharma was caught behind on 56, with the opener having surpassed 3,000 runs in T20Is as India chased down a target of 133.
It was a decent effort from tournament debutants Namibia, who batted for their 20 allotted overs and lost eight wickets, with Stephan Baard (21) and David Wiese (26) the pick of their batsmen.
Ravindra Jadeja (3-16) led India's bowling attack – Ravichandran Ashwin (3-20) and Jasprit Bumrah (2-19) providing support – though Mohammed Shami (0-39) was unusually vulnerable.
KL Rahul (54) and Rohit swiftly set about knocking into Namibia's total, however, with the latter joining Kohli as just one of three players to reach 3,000 T20I runs when he moved onto 18.
Rohit's dismissal might have meant Kohli got in for a final flourish with the bat as skipper, but it was Suryakumar who instead came to the crease, scoring 25 off 19 balls before the excellent Rahul sealed victory with a wonderful shot down the ground.
Fifty and out for Kohli, a new era for India
"It's been an honour for me. I was given the opportunity and I've tried to do my best. It's time for me to try and create some space and prioritise things and move forward," said Kohli at the toss.
Monday's match was his 50th T20I as captain. India have won 30 of those and lost 16. The highest total India scored under his leadership was 240-3 against the West Indies in 2019, while ahead of the Namibia game, they had averaged 164 runs across 47 innings.
History for Rohit
It had been coming, but Rohit finally joined the exclusive 3,000-run club in T20Is. Across 108 innings, he has averaged 32.66, struck four centuries and 24 half-centuries.
Rohit has been mooted as Kohli's potential successor as captain. There cannot be too many better candidates.
T20 World Cup: Big Phillips-Neesham partnership keeps Black Caps on course for semis
New Zealand negotiated a Super 12 win over Namibia with minimal fuss, prevailing by 52 runs to maintain control of their semi-final fate at the T20 World Cup.
The Black Caps came into Friday's match third in Group 2 but crucially two points ahead of India with a superior net run rate.
And although Namibia initially kept the New Zealand batsmen quiet, there was to be no great upset, meaning Kane Williamson's men can book their place in the last four by beating Afghanistan – also still in contention – in their final match.
There may have been some Kiwi nerves when they stumbled to 87-4 through 14 overs having been put in to bat, with captain Williamson a big scalp, bowled for 28 by opposite number Gerhard Erasmus (1-22).
But Glenn Phillips (39 not out) and James Neesham (35 not out) then combined for an unbeaten 76 to reach 163-4 in a devastating finish to the innings, as five sixes across the last four overs included 21 runs off David Wiese in the 18th alone.
The task with the bat then got away from Namibia, who stuck with New Zealand's early run rate but lacked the same acceleration in the closing stages.
Nobody topped opener Michael van Lingen's contribution of 25, fittingly ended by Neesham, as the chase fell well short on 111-7.
Erasmus efforts in vain
Namibia captain Erasmus had bowled only two overs at this World Cup prior to this point but took on a far more prominent role in a bid to slow New Zealand. It was successful as he conceded only 22 runs from his four overs.
However, he then put the ball in the hands of his team-mates in the closing stages of the innings and saw them punished ruthlessly by Phillips and Neesham. In reply, Erasmus could score only three.
Southee stunts chase hopes
Having starred with the bat, Neesham's dismissal of Van Lingen was a big one, ending a stand of 47 for the first wicket. However, Namibia were still in contention deep into their innings due to New Zealand's slow start.
But Tim Southee stepped up in good time to lead the All Blacks comfortably across the finish line. Wiese had averaged 61.7 at this World Cup, the best efforts of any batsman from a non-Test playing nation, but he went lbw to Southee, who also accounted for Zane Smith en route to figures of 2-15 from four overs. He now has wickets in eight straight T20I innings.
T20 World Cup: Everything has gone to plan – Pakistan captain Babar Azam delighted after semi-final qualification
Babar Azam claimed "everything has gone to plan" after Pakistan sealed their T20 World Cup semi-final spot with victory over Namibia on Tuesday.
Captain Babar and Mohammed Rizwan combined for their second 100-opening stand of the tournament, leading Pakistan to 189-2 – the second-highest score in the competition so far.
Namibia – led by David Wiese (43 not out) and George Williams (40) – batted impressively in their response but could still only muster a 45-run loss against the 2009 champions, who have now won all four of their opening games.
Despite a few misdemeanours in the field, Babar was left satisfied with yet another efficient performance from his side as they became the first team to officially confirm their place in the final four.
"It was a different plan today, we wanted that opening partnership to go deep and it worked for us," Babar said at the post-match presentation.
"We then had two good players in [Mohammed] Hafeez and Hasan Ali. They'll be important in the next stage and it was important we ticked those boxes [scoring runs at the end, batting first].
"There was some dew that didn't help with the fielding, but that's not an excuse, we need to be better.
"Everything has gone according to plan. We're looking forward to the semi-finals and playing our cricket with the same intensity."
Pakistan sit on eight points at the top of Group 2, with Afghanistan currently in second on four points.
In Group 1, England have all but qualified with four wins in four games, with South Africa – Pakistan's potential semi-final opponents – on six points in second, two clear of third-placed Australia.
T20 World Cup: Rizwan and Babar fire again as Pakistan sweep past Namibia to reach semi-finals
Pakistan made it four wins from four to progress to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup as they eased to a 45-run victory against Namibia in Abu Dhabi.
A 113-run opening stand between Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, their second century partnership of the tournament, laid the foundations for a fourth Super 12 win out of four.
It took Namibia until the 15th over to take their first wicket, with Pakistan captain Babar falling to the bowling of David Wiese for 70 from 49 balls, a third half-century in his four innings.
Rizwan blasted 79 from 50 balls, taking a fierce 24 runs off the final over. Rizwan's knock paired with a rapid unbeaten 32 from 16 balls from Mohammad Hafeez led Pakistan to 189-2.
Namibia's chase never got going, with Michael van Lingen falling in the second over for just four as Hasan Ali clattered his stumps.
Fellow opener Stephan Baard was able to hit 29 at a run a ball before being run out, while skipper Gerhard Erasmus could only make 15 before he was caught by Shadab Khan.
Craig Williams (40) and Wiese (43 not out) showed some resistance, but the result was never in doubt as the impressive Group 2 leaders advanced to the last four.
Rizwan and Babar on fire
There are numerous ways to win a T20 match but having two openers who can lay such a strong platform always helps.
Rizwan and Babar set the tournament alight with their performance against India in the opening game, and were imperious once again as they dismantled the Namibian attack at the Zayed Cricket Stadium.
The duo now sit second and third in the rankings for most runs scored in the competition on 199 and 198 respectively. Only England's Jos Buttler (214) has more.
A day to forget for Smit
JJ Smit was the unfortunate victim of Rizwan's final-over assault, seeing the first five deliveries smacked to the rope as 24 runs were added from the last six balls.
Smit, who is ranked joint-third in the ICC men's T20i world rankings for all-rounders, ended with figures of 0-50 from his four overs.
He did not fair any better with the bat either, scoring just two from five balls before being caught by Fakhar Zaman off the bowling of Haris Rauf.
T20 World Cup: Afghanistan overcome Namibia as Asghar signs off with a win
Afghanistan got back to winning ways at the T20 World Cup as they beat Namibia by 62 runs in what was the final match of Asghar Afghan's career.
The former skipper announced prior to the Group 2 clash in Dubai that he would retire from all forms of cricket following the conclusion of the contest.
Asghar received a guard of honour in his 75th and final T20I before producing a knock of 31 – taking his overall tally to 1,382 runs – as Afghanistan looked to bounce back from Friday's defeat by Pakistan.
Mohammad Shahzad top-scored with 45 – surpassing 2,000 runs in men's T20I – while Hazratullah Zazai hit 33 and captain Mohammad Nabi was 32 not out as Afghanistan set a target of 160-5.
Namibia were aiming to build on their opening win over Scotland, but their quest suffered an early blow when Naveen-ul-Haq (3-26) bowled Craig Williams and Michael van Lingen within the opening three overs.
Hamid Hassan also claimed three wickets as the Eagles' chase fell way short at 98-9.
David Wiese hit 26 for Namibia, but it was not enough to prevent a first defeat in the Super 12s.
History for Shahzad
Dismissed by Pakistan for just eight, Shahzad had another opportunity to reach 2,000 runs in the short format.
This time, he made no mistake with his knock of 45 making him the first Afghan to achieve the feat – and 12th overall.
Naveen shines
It was always going to take a special effort to chase down Afghanistan's total of 160-5, but Naveen quickly put Namibia on the back foot.
The 22-year-old dismissed Williams and Van Lingen within his opening 10 deliveries, and that set his side well on the way to what was eventually a commanding victory.
T20 World Cup: Namibia hold nerve to overcome Scotland
Namibia made a winning start to their T20 World Cup Super 12 campaign with a four-wicket victory over Scotland at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Scotland were bowled out for just 60 in their heavy loss to Afghanistan in their first Group 2 match but they at least got over the 100 mark on this occasion as they set Namibia a target of 110.
After losing George Munsey to the very first ball, Calum MacLeod and Richie Berrington followed soon after to the bowling of Ruben Trumpelmann without adding any runs to Scotland's tally.
With wickets falling fast, Michael Leask at least gave Scotland something to bat for with 44 runs off 27 balls as they reached 109-8.
Michael van Lingen made a positive start to Namibia's innings with 18 runs before being bowled out by Safyaan Sharif – making his 50th T20I appearance for Scotland – and Zane Green (9) was not far behind.
Craig Williams (23) and David Wiese (16) piled on further scores and, while Scotland did manage to take the game to the final over, JJ Smit (32 not out) got Namibia over the line with five balls to spare.
Namibia play their trump card
The writing was on the wall for Scotland when they lost three wickets for two runs in the first over, with player of the match Trumpelmann responsible for each of those.
He finished with 3-17 and watched on as his team-mates batted to victory with four wickets left to play with.
A new Leask of life
Scotland had just a glimmer of hope as a couple of Namibia wickets fell towards the end, but even that glimpse of a win would never have been possible if not for the earlier batting of Leask.
His stint was ended by Smit, who perhaps appropriately went on to seal the victory for Namibia with a six over point as the African minnows reached 115-6.
T20 World Cup: Namibia stun Ireland to reach Super 12s, Sri Lanka hammer Netherlands
Gerhard Erasmus and David Wiese saw Namibia over the line in an historic eight-wicket win over Ireland that sent the African nation into the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup for the first time.
Set a target of 126 to win in Sharjah, Namibia ensured an automatic place at the next T20 World Cup in Australia with an emphatic victory and eliminated Ireland.
Captain Erasmus top-scored with 53 not out, while Wiese made 28 from 14 deliveries tot propelled the minnows, who only attained ODI status in 2019, through with nine balls to spare.
"It's a dream that's come true. These players were six and seven-year-old boys, dreaming of playing against teams like India and Pakistan. That dream has come true," Namibia coach Pierre de Bruyn said.
"All they had in the last few years was to watch these guys on TV and dream about it. They will wake up knowing it's real. I am just so pleased for them. I don't think people really know how limited we are. We are not a cricket organisation with a luxury of great resources."
Jan Frylinck took 3-21 and Wiese claimed 2-22 as Ireland collapsed from 94-2 to 125-8 after Paul Stirling had smashed 38 off 24 balls.
Namibia will be in Group 2 of the Super 12s along with India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Scotland.
In Friday's other match, already-qualified Sri Lanka made light work of the Netherlands in an eight-wicket thrashing
Sri Lanka beat the Netherlands by nine wickets in their only previous T20I meeting, en route to winning the 2014 World Cup, and they skittled the European nation out for 44 in just 10 overs.
The Dutch had no answer to Lahiru Kumara (3-7) and Wanindu Hasaranga (3-9) and Maheesh Theekshana (2-3) before they cruised to victory in only 7.1 overs, Kusal Perera making 33 not out.
The Super 12s get under way on Saturday, with Australia facing South Africa and England taking on reigning champions West Indies.
T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka through to Super 12, Butter & Van der Dussen shine in warm-ups
Sri Lanka are through to the T20 World Cup Super 12 after a dominant 70-run win over Ireland.
Wanindu Hasaranga's 47-ball 71, along with 61 from Pathum Nissanka, which came from the same amount of deliveries, propelled the 2014 winners to 171-7.
The 172 target proved well beyond Ireland, who were dismissed for 101 with nine balls left, Hasaranga also taking a wicket and bowling a team-high 14 dot balls in a Man of the Match display.
It means Sri Lanka can top Group A with a win over the Netherlands, whose hopes came to an end with defeat to Namibia.
Max O'Dowd hit a 56-ball 70 for Netherlands as they posted 164-4, however, David Wiese's unbeaten 66 ensured Namibia got over the line for a six-wicket win with six balls left.
England are among the tournament favourites and they underlined that status with a 13-run warm-up win over New Zealand in which Jos Buttler delivered a scarcely needed reminder of his class by hitting 11 fours and two maximums for his 73.
Mark Wood (4-23) and Adil Rashid (3-18) impressed with the ball for England, who were runners-up in 2016 to West Indies.
The Windies seemingly have work to do ahead of the Super 12 after a 56-run defeat to Afghanistan, who saw Hazratullah Zazai (56) and Mohammad Shahzad (54) hit half-centuries.
Rassie van der Dussen, meanwhile, looks in ominous form for South Africa, his 51-ball 101 comprising of 10 fours and four maximums as South Africa saw off Pakistan by six wickets.
T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka crush Namibia, Campher inspires Ireland
Sri Lanka eased to a straightforward seven-wicket victory over Namibia in their opening match of the T20 World Cup on Monday.
Namibia were dismissed for just 96 runs after being put into bat first, and Sri Lanka ultimately eclipsed that total as early as the 14th over.
Maheesh Theekshana was a key part of the Sri Lanka attack, taking Stephan Baard on his first delivery, before also claiming the scalps of Zane Green and Jan Frylinck, ending the day at 3-25.
Craig Williams (29) was the only Namibian to get more than 20, though his haul was hardly emphatic given it came off 36 balls and included just two boundaries.
Sri Lanka's innings did not start particularly impressively given they were 26-3 after the first ball of the sixth over, but Avishka Fernando (30 not out) and Bhanuka Rajapaksa (42 not out) had a steadying impact as they got them over the line at 100-3.
The day's early Group A match saw Ireland win in similarly comprehensive fashion against the Netherlands, with the bowlers again having the decisive impact during a seven-wicket victory.
Curtis Campher (4-26) incredibly took all four of his wickets in succession to leave the Dutch in disarray, becoming only the third man after Lasith Malinga and Rashid Khan to achieve the feat in a T20I, while Mark Adair was even more efficient with figures of 3-9 in his four overs.
Like Campher, Adair's treble came in a row and right at the end as the Netherlands could only set a target of 106.
Paul Stirling (30 not out) kept things ticking over throughout with a professional – if unspectacular – knock, but Gareth Delany (44) top scored for the Irish. By the time he was eventually stopped by Pieter Seelaar's yorker, Ireland only needed another 12 runs.
Elsewhere, several of the tournament favourites were in action in warm-up matches. India beat England by seven wickets with six balls remaining partly down to swift 50s by KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan, while Australia's 159-7 saw them defeat New Zealand with one ball left.
South Africa enjoyed a comfortable 41-run win over Afghanistan and Pakistan defeated the West Indies by seven wickets in a little over 15 overs.

Playing Role
One of many South Africans who has followed the well-trodden path into county cricket, Neil Carter's story is an encouraging tale of enthusiasm and determination defying logic and pragmatism. Told he was no longer required by Warwickshire in September 2004, six years later he found himself leading the county's attack and forging a reputation as one of the most useful allround cricketers on the circuit.
After the initial loss of his contract in 2004, rather underlining the sense that Carter has not always been as appreciated as he might be, Warwickshire released him again at the end of 2007. They reasoned that his best days were behind him and that he would struggle to maintain form and fitness. But he fought his way from the brink of cricketing oblivion to reinvent himself as a skillful bowler and highly-effective batsman and, having passed 100 first-class appearances and approaching 300 wickets, it's not looking like such a bad career move.
Now, in his mid-30s, he is bowling better than ever and key to his improvement is his recently acquired ability to swing the ball. After starting his career as a tearaway fast bowler, he is now a model of discipline. He is also capable of destructive batting, and is often used at the top of the order in one-day cricket.
Carter's best season came in 2010 when he picked up 51 first-class wickets at 22.13 - his efforts went a long way to saving Warwickshire from relegation, from which they built a platform to narrowly miss out on the title in 2011 and run away with it in 2012. But Carter played only bit parts in both campaigns as injury began to take it's toll. A pelvic problem ruined his 2011 season and in 2012, Chris Woakes was preferred in the allrounder's slot.
As a result of his wearing body and playing time becoming more marginalised, Carter decided to retire from county cricket at the end of 2012. He very nearly went out in fairytale fashion in the CB40 final at Lord's. He came into bat for the last ball of the match, needing one to win, but swung and missed as the match was tied and Warwickshire lost to Hampshire having lost more wickets.
But Carter wasn't ending his playing days entirely. He moved back to South Africa but declared himself available for Scotland, for whom he qualifies through his mother, and was selected in the squad for World Cup qualifiers against Afghanistan in March 2013.

These comments on the topical subject of populism have been gathered by the University of Sydney's Sydney Democracy Network and its Democracy Futures team. SDN is a global network of researchers, journalists, activists, policy makers and citizens concerned with the future of democracy. The comments form part of a longer series on populism on The Conversation.
Populism is everywhere on the rise. Why is this happening? Why are the peddlers of populism proving so popular? Are there deep forces driving the spread of their style of politics, and what, if anything, has populism to do with democracy? Is populism democracy's essence, as some maintain?
Is the new populism therefore to be welcomed, harnessed and "mainstreamed" in support of more democracy? Or is populism on balance politically dangerous, a cultish recipe for damaging democracy by bringing to life what George Orwell termed the "smelly little orthodoxies" that feed demagogy, big business and bossy power?
As US voters consider whether to vote for Donald Trump, and Filipino citizens live with the fall-out of Rodrigo Duterte's populist rhetoric, scholars from China to Brazil to Australia analyse the phenomena behind populism's ascent in 2016.
If there's one thing we need to do in response to populism's triumphant return to the global political landscape, it is this: stop shaking our heads and feigning shock. Media pundits, mainstream parties, pollsters and experts of various stripes are continually dazed by populists' success – think Donald Trump, Brexit, Pauline Hanson, Rodrigo Duterte - but these are not weird one-offs: these events are happening across the globe.
Why now? There are at least five central factors. "The elite" is on the nose, for good reason, in many parts of the world. The shifting media landscape favours the simple, headline-grabbing, dramatic message of populists. Populist actors have become increasingly savvy and increased their appeal over the past decade. Populists have seized the crisis-ridden moment, and have been remarkably successful at not only reacting to crises, but actively aiming to bring about and perpetuate a sense of crisis. Finally, populists have been very effective at exposing the deficiencies of contemporary democratic systems across the globe.
So let's drop the surprise, the shaking of heads in disbelief, the paralysis brought on by continually asking ourselves "how can this be?" It's now time to acknowledge that populism is a central part of contemporary politics.
Whether we like it or not, populists around the world are posing legitimate questions about the state of democracy. Many citizens feel betrayed by mainstream political forces. To a great extent, this can be explained by the growing influence of unelected bodies.
Although elected leaders can take important decisions, their room for manoeuvre is increasingly limited by unelected institutions, which in theory are autonomous and contribute to the provision of public goods. However, nothing precludes that unelected bodies run amok or side with powerful minorities.
Consider the way the US Supreme Court has intensified the role of money in politics, or the failure of the European Union to force the financial sector to pay its fair share of the costs of the recession.
Populists are real experts in politicising these and other issues ignored by the political establishment. This is why policy makers and scholars need to avoid falling into the populist trap: portraying themselves as the good and smart fighters against bad and stupid populists. The best way of dealing with populists is to engage them in honest dialogue and to propose solutions to the problems they seek to politicise.
Ruling elites in the Western world have recently identified a convenient scapegoat explaining all their failures: they call it populism.
The future of America, Europe or Australia, they say, would be bright if not for a bunch of populists destroying all the good work done by (neo-)liberals. These distasteful populists propose simple solutions to complicated problems. They use moralistic rhetoric, make unrealistic promises and launch unfair personal attacks on their opponents. They demonise the elite and idealise ordinary people, setting the latter against the former. Populists manipulate the confused and uninformed electorate. They make it difficult for the elite to govern in a rational and effective manner.
The story is too devious to be true. There's nothing wrong with simple solutions if they are just, efficient, and based on democratic procedures. Moralistic rhetoric is used by the ruling elite itself on a daily basis: remember the "axis of evil" on the eve of the 2003 Iraq invasion?
Smearing opponents and making empty promises are the daily bread and butter of mainstream politicians. And what is wrong with implementing the will of the people? Aren't elections a means of defining citizens' preferred policies, and not just a beauty contest of politicians? Mainstream elites, centre-left and centre-right today presume that government is a kind of enlightened administration on behalf of an ignorant public. Yet their political practices betray their proclaimed liberal ideals: they tolerate rampant inequality, spy on citizens, torture prisoners, and invade other countries.
The borders between democracy and autocracy, civility and barbarity have become blurred. No wonder voters are searching for alternatives. Ruling elites should look at themselves in the mirror before blaming others.
John Maynard Keynes' Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren (1930) speculated that in one hundred years productivity would so increase by leaps and bounds that most of humanity would no longer need to work. The economic problem of how to produce and allocate goods and services, and how to distribute money, would cease to exist. Economics would lose its raison d'être.
Although, as Keynes predicted, productivity has risen, economic policy has obviously not reduced the need for work, or consumption. Understandably, American political economists came to argue that recent employment growth and per capita income increases would explain more or less which US presidential election candidate would win. No more!
What we witness today is not the end of economic policy but the beginning of populism. People the world over are now allured by the folksy slogans of populism, which raises the question: why didn't Keynes imagine the thriving of populism after the death of economics?
Two hundred words on populism are barely sufficient to point out that a century ago, before populism became a swear word mostly directed at right-wing parties such as the Alternative for Germany, Hungary's Fides and the Front National in France, populism was the pride of social democracy.
The "classes populaires" were important for left-wing leaders such as Jean Jaurès, Léon Blum and Jules Ferry. These were men who cared for the people, especially exploited workers; they wanted to improve their lives. Caring was their key word.
Today, nobody seems to care for people. The European losers in today's globalisation, people living, and failing, mostly in devastated rural areas, are mainly left to themselves. If they fail, due to lack of education and life chances, they're told they are living in free societies, where everybody has the potential to succeed.
Hatred for democracy stems from the fact that opportunity remains a fiction for many people. Hence Étienne Balibar's warning: since there's no such thing as freedom without equality, the right to rebel and change a political order is a human right, especially when "equaliberty" and dignity are quashed. Populists know this.
Both the Chinese government and Chinese intellectuals are acutely aware of the phenomenon of populism, which last flourished here during the Cultural Revolution. In 1996, I urged Chinese policy makers to prevent populism, which always tends towards extreme forms of plebeianism. Plebeian standards are seen as the ultimate source of legitimacy of all social and political dynamics.
In its opposition to elitism, populism ignores, or radically negates, the vital role played by political elites in processes of social and political change and historical development. Populism instead advocates radical reforms, and deems ordinary people the only decisive force capable of promoting these reforms. The hopes, needs and emotions of the people are the origin and destiny of its concerns. By affirming their spirit and capacity for innovation, populism has a positive implication: it teaches us to pay attention to the historical role played by people.
But populism has its limits. Not only does it ignore the role played by elites in making historical progress, by emphasising the need for mobilising the general population, it also calls for absolute obedience to the passions and will of the people. That is why populism often manages to manipulate and control people in highly centralised ways. Populism can thus easily lead to autocracy, and to anarchy.

Q: Add items in loop to multidimensional PHP array I'm attempting to add a couple of columns to a multidimensional PHP array inside a loop.
Inside the loop I currently have this:
$html[]['strongsNum'] = $strongsCode;
$html[]['wordNum'] = $wordNumber;

However, because I'm not setting the index manually, it creates two separate entries for the two.  How can I make it add the two columns to the one entry / row of the array?

A: try:
$html[] = array(
  'strongsNum' => $strongsCode,
  'wordNum' => $wordNumber,
);

A: $html[] = array(
    'strongsNum' => $strongsCode,
    'wordNum' => $wordNumber
);

A: If you don't want to use the array(key => value) syntax:
After adding the initial 'strongsNum', you can re-access the last member of your array by using count($myArray)-1 as the index.
$html[]['strongsNum'] = $strongsCode;
$html[count($html) - 1]['wordNum'] = $wordNumber;

The Montana Night Sky
Opinions 29 August 2018
The highlights of the Montana night sky in September are provided by the four bright planets, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, shining prominently in the evening sky and the fifth bright planet, speedy Mercury, making a brief appearance in the morning sky during the first part of the month.
As the month begins and the sky darkens after sunset, look for brilliant Venus low in the western sky. Venus is at it brightest on September 21 as it comes closer and closer to Earth, but it is also very low in the sky by this time of the month when it first becomes visible after sunset. Venus sets about an hour and a quarter after sunset as the month begins, but it sets just over a half hour after sunset as September comes to a close.
To the east of Venus, look for the giant planet Jupiter high up in the southwestern sky. Jupiter is accompanied by the much fainter but brightest star in the constellation Libra. Jupiter sets about 10:35 p.m. as September begins and about 8:55 p.m. as September ends.
Further east from Jupiter, look for Saturn in the southern sky above the teapot shape formed by the constellation Sagittarius. Saturn doesn't set until about 1:20 a.m. as the month begins and about 11:25 p.m. as the month ends.
Turning further east from Saturn, shining brightly in the south-southeast is the Red Planet, Mars. Mars begins the month brighter than Jupiter, but by the end of the first week in September, its brightness has faded to the point that Jupiter becomes brighter than Mars. Mars continues to fade in brightness as the month progresses and Mars speeds rapidly away from Earth after its closest approach to Earth in 15 years in late July. Mars sets at 3 a.m. as September begins and about 1:50 a.m. as the month comes to a close.
After Mars sets, there are no planets to see until tiny Mercury makes a brief appearance in the early morning hours during the first few days of September. Mercury rises about 5:20 a.m. as September begins, but is lost in the solar glare by about September 11.
As for the moon, the moon passes to the upper right of Venus on September 12 and to the upper right of Jupiter the next evening. The moon passes to the upper left of Saturn on September 17 and is located above Mars on September 19. The moon is full on September 24. The moon passes very close to Aldebaran, the brightest star in the constellation Taurus, on September 29.
The Sun arrives at the autumnal equinox at 7:54 p.m. on September 22, when the Sun heads south across the celestial equator and autumn begins in the Northern Hemisphere.
For meteor shower watchers, there are no major meteor showers this month. However, a sporadic meteor can flash across the sky at any time. From a dark site, meteors typically can be seen at a rate of about 5 meteors per hour.

'I am always happy to try new formats'
7/8/2004 – While top GMs are playing for the FIDE world championship in Tripoli, the world's number two player Vishy Anand is watching the action as a spectator on the Internet. We asked him for his impression and got involved in a long and interesting discussion on the problems of draws and the future of chess. Something to think about...
Interview with Vishy Anand
This interview was conducted by phone on July 6, 2004, during the first game of the FIDE world championship final between Rustam Kasimdzhanov and Michael Adams. The transcription sticks very close to the original recording, giving us a flavour of a chat with the world's number two player.
World number two player Viswanathan ("Vishy") Anand from India
Frederic Friedel: So Vishy, are you watching Tripoli?
Vishy Anand: Yeah, sure, I go take a look sometimes on the server. I tune in, and if something interesting is happening I keep watching, otherwise I tune out and come back later to see what's happening.
Frederic: Why aren't you there, playing in this championship?
Vishy: Well, basically I disagreed with the idea that Kasparov was seeded to the final and just decided it wasn't worth playing, that it was no longer a real world championship and there was no reason to play.
Fred: You would have had a pretty good chance, though…
Vish: Maybe, maybe not. But I simply could not take part in the event. In principle once you take part you accept that Kasparov is rightly seeded above you and that you don't have a problem with that. Obviously the organisers committed a lot of other mistakes, especially with regard to the Israeli players, but well before I knew whether the Israelis would be allowed to play, or even thought of that aspect yet, I had already made my decision.
F: What do you think of the quality of the games played so far?
V: The quality is like it always is when you have a huge mass of games. There were a fair amount of errors, for instance the way Almasi won against Modiahki [in round one], and how he lost to Kasim [Rustam Kasimdzhanov], with Vallejo in between – I suppose there were a lot of mistakes, but there are just too many games to comment on.
But in the end the top seeds, Topalov and Anand…
Wake up Fred, you're dreaming…
…Topalov and Adams went all the way to the finals, or almost to the finals. That was pretty convincing.
Veselin Topalov at the FIDE world championship in Tripoli
Yes, Adams went very smoothly, and Topalov, well what can you say, the guy made nine and a half out of ten (although he should have lost the second game against Kharlov). He was going through the tournament like hot butter through a knife…
Okay, the other way around – but even he could trip up unexpectedly, which is one of the dangers of this format. Suddenly somebody is very solid, things are not so smooth, and then something like this happens. You simply forget how to overcome resistance.
But what I am saying is that the knockout system works to a certain degree, apparently.
Yes, I think that if your nerves are holding up it works, and I don't see anything wrong per se in the knockout system. You remember Delhi/Teheran [FIDE world championship 2000]? There it was me, Adams, Shirov and Grischuk – I mean not a bad semi. Or take Groningen [FIDE Championship 1997-98] the four semi-finalists were Adams, me, Short and Gelfand, so it's always been the case that in the end the top seeds have come up. You can also say this about events like Monaco and other events, where the chess looks pretty chaotic, but in the end somehow there are only familiar names at the top.
If it were left to you, how would you stage a world championship, would you continue in the same knockout style, or go back to classical chess, or what?
It's a very tricky question. I think all systems have their advantages and disadvantages. The long matches have some attraction to them, but then again short draws become a big problem, especially now-a-days when everyone sits down with Fritzy and gets these long, forced lines. I mean in previous times at least you went to the board and were not completely sure, but now you can mathematically work some lines out and force a draw. I think the danger of these 12 or 16 game matches is that you can get an incredible amount of short draws.
And this is the fault of Fritz?
Anand working with the computer
Yeah, sometimes, definitely, if your preparation goes too well. You've seen the effect in Linares, that is the kind of thing I am thinking about. People are simply well prepared, they play topical lines, and in fact they even copy each other's openings. Somebody who has never played the Sveshnikov will add it to his repertoire, someone who never plays the Marshall will have it in his repertoire, and they all play the same lines against each other, often with reversed colours as well. It is very difficult in those circumstances to get anything going. Now if that can happen with six players it can also happen with two. These sixteen-game matches can be very interesting, but they can also be very boring. And if something fizzles out on one day you don't have a second or third game to watch. It becomes better to watch the games from home than to make a big trip and see a game finish early. And then there may be a rest day before the next game, and so on. Knockout matches on the other hand are so unpredictable, it is almost a pity that someone like Topalov gets kicked out, but one bad day and you are home.
You feel sorry for Topalov?
World championship finalist in Tripoli Rustam Kasimzdhanov
Well, you have to give it to Kasim, it's not like he did it in just one day, he proved Topalov's equal over four games. So I wouldn't call it a fluke.
Okay, Vish, but let us say that one day you become FIDE president, or president of India or something, and you have to select a format for the world championship. What would you do?
[Thinks] At the moment I would have to say that just getting everybody to the world championship is half the job. It doesn't matter which format you have, the tournament has lost some of its lustre if half the people are not playing. You have these knockouts, and Kasparov or Kramnik refuses, or you have some private events where basically everyone else refuses, and on and on. Let us assume that in a knockout everybody plays. Then the result at least is valid, even if not everybody is completely happy about the system. The old championships were not that fair in themselves – I mean the challenger had to work for three years while the champion just sat there waiting for him. So we can't pretend we are coming from some Utopia and switching to the knockout system.
In the history of these knockout events top players have never played. At least two or three, sometimes even four didn't play.
Hmmm… In Groningen it was Kramnik and Kasparov who didn't play, Las Vegas was me and Kasparov, in 2000 [Delhi/Tehran] again Kramnik and Kasparov, in 2001 again the two of them. So basically it was the two guys who had a match going at that point, only in 1997 Kramnik took off on his own. But I really think that the main problem is what to do about short draws. You can have any format you want…
Okay, let's go into that a little more deeply. You are saying that people tend to prepare very carefully with Fritz and their seconds, and then go out there with the intention of playing a quick draw?
Not really. But it has become really tough to find a line you can play with white. I think Kramnik hinted at this after Linares. Unless you have some very fresh idea, if everyone knows the same lines it is very difficult to do anything with white. So you come there, make a feeble attempt, and then you go home.
So what do we do about this?
Well, one idea is simply to forbid draw offers until move 30…
But then people would simply shuffle around for a while.
Yeah, but at least maybe while you shuffle around you can make a mistake, if you have to make another ten or fifteen accurate moves. But of course it is hard to enforce, and I'll admit it is quite artificial. The problem is that a draw is a natural part of the game, and there is only so much you can do to avoid them. Then again if you keep having tournaments like Linares this year you could have the sponsors running away as well.
Let's assume you had to redesign Linares – what would you do about draws? Would you perhaps try to regulate it with the prize money?
That is one possibility, but in the end I can hardly imagine that losing is ever going to be more advantageous than a draw. Okay, you can take huge risks, but then your opponent might try to exploit that. It comes down to something fundamental. You have to actually redesign the way chess works. We have tinkered around with quite a lot of different formats. The knockout has at least that one virtue, that at the end of the day it produces a winner. I don't know if a blitz game is any more elegant than a tie-break in tennis, or the penalties or the golden goal in soccer, but at least it works. Maybe we should take that from other sports, that at the end of the day somehow you need a winner, one way or the other, even if chess purists go nuts about the way it is done.
Speaking about soccer, how about taking their system of awarding three points for a win and one for a draw?
[Thinks] It's possible that it would work, and maybe there would be an incentive to change your style a little bit and play more aggressively the whole time, so that over ten or fifteen games there are chances that you will score many more points. For an individual game, if your opponent is willing to play some really boring position, if he is going to be really solid, there is nothing really that you can do. But in the long run it may not be a bad idea.
So it might be a viable alternative?
I don't know, I think you simply need to have some tests. We are shooting in the dark. When you tinker around with these things you will discover that all kinds of unexpected problems appear, so I think we need to have a few tournaments and try this out. Another thing would be just to mix the field much more. Tournaments with broad fields like Wijk aan Zee are always much more interesting than a much more narrow tournament like Linares.
But in Wijk you guys tend to draw against each other and crush the weaker opposition…
That is not completely true. If you look at this year, my game against Kramnik wasn't a quick draw, we were actually playing a full game. My game against Leko was quite interesting, Kramnik tried hard against Leko, Adams beat Kramnik. And of course I don't want to say that a tournament like Linares is always going to be boring. But quite often you have these very high draw percentages, which happens more when you have just six or four players of equal strength. The problem is also that the same players meet each other so often, they know each other very well, so it is very difficult to add something new. You take these old guys – I'm one of them – and bring in a bunch of Radjabov, Carlsen, people like that, and maybe you get a more interesting field. Mix that with an organiser who is there, watching and pressing…
Like Rentero… [the legendary organiser of Linares, who would yell at and threaten players who took quick draws, and pay out bonus sums in cash to those who played fighting games]
Anand vs Leko (in Dortmund 2003). Must such games necessarily end in a draw?
Yeah, some Rentero type of guy. I used to sometimes think he was overdoing it, but now I can see that he was onto something. I don't want to say that Wijk is interesting and Linares not, but tournaments with a very small field and always the same players make it difficult to do something interesting. I think you need to mix the field a lot these days.
What about team championships, where people travel halfway round the world, meet someone they know well and play a quick draw? Isn't that also counter-productive?
I guess you are referring to my game against Kramnik in France? I wouldn't say this is something that is typical for team tournaments, it happens everywhere else. For example in France Kramnik played the Anti-Marshall, I found this move Ne3, which was an improvement on his game from the previous day, and actually it created interesting possibilities for White. But right the next move I made a mistake, and then the position completely fizzled out. It is in the nature of these openings, like the Sveshnikov or the Anti-Marshall, that you make just one inaccurate move and the position just fizzles out. We could have plodded on for a while, but essentially the game is dead. It's something very fundamental in chess.
You said something very intriguing, that we cannot get rid of the problem of draws without tweaking the game itself. How could we do that?
[Thinks] Well, if we used your suggestion of counting three points for a win and one for a draw then maybe people would start playing riskier lines because in the long run it is more productive. That's one possibility. Another idea is what Kramnik brought up, which is to predetermine the opening and give them to the players a couple of hours or a day before the game. That way you force them to play a much broader range of things. I think we simply have to try it. These proposals sound nice, but we simply have to see whether they work. In Buenos Aires I recall we had this Sicilian tournament – if you force everyone to play the Sicilian you should be guaranteed a fairly interesting tournament, but even there in some variations play became extremely interesting, in other variations it was quite boring, because people didn't play the main line. So that even here people can get used to different openings.
Kramnik (left) has suggested predetermining openings in top tournaments
I must say that in the end there is some merit to knockout. The idea to have knockout events didn't come out of a vacuum. It came because of this problem of short draws, which is not a problem that developed in the last four years – it just got a fresh leash of life recently.
If you close your eyes tightly and concentrate, can you imagine playing in Linares and the openings you have to play is given to you, on the evening before or in fact on the day of the game?
Yeah, I could get used to the idea. In general I'm always quite happy to try new formats.
But how would we choose the openings? Wouldn't you be upset if I gave you the King's Gambit to play, for example?
Yes, but you could give it to both players. Maybe every once in a while you come across a dud, but by the end of the tournament the duds should be evenly distributed.
Maybe there could be two rapid games on a day, where you play each side of a predetermined opening against the same player.
That may be an idea, or simply have an Internet vote on which openings must be played. The whole idea is to attract spectators, so you might as well have a vote on which opening people want to see. What you can't have is theoretical experts deciding which lines are interesting. You need something more broad-based. You just have to accept the risk that there are going to be duds, and just hope that they are fairly distributed.
What about the idea of shuffling the pieces in the opening?
Shuffling the pieces – the future of chess? (GM Dautov playing "Chess960")
That has obviously arisen as a result of the same problem. But that is also quite random, sometimes you get very interesting games, but sometimes your pieces are quite illogically placed and there is absolutely nothing happening. We have to build up a lot of experience before we can decide which setups are the most interesting.
Okay, let's go back to Tripoli. What do you think of Kasimdzhanov? You know him quite well?
I think he has been very smart in this tournament. His record is the most impressive – I mean Ivanchuk, Grischuk, Almasi and Topalov. The way he beat Chucky, well that was perhaps a Chucky thing, but the way he did it against Grischuk in the rapids was quite impressive. And you notice that he generally wins in the first two rapid games. He seems to have very good nerves.
Actually he is known for NOT having good nerves…
Yeah, it's a funny thing. In Tripoli he really seems to be in his groove. In fact I wouldn't even consider Adams a huge favourite or anything. Adams hasn't had a tiebreak so far, so if they go to a tiebreak Kasim will perhaps be more warmed-up.
Anand at the FIDE world championship In Groningen and Lausanne in 1997/98 (video stills from the multimedia report in ChessBase Magazine 68)
You know it's funny, but when I played Mickey in Groningen [1997] he had been having to play a tiebreak in every round. He had a huge tiebreak against Van Wely, a tiebreak against Svidler, he played a tiebreak against Short, which went the entire distance. At the same time I had been going smoothly from round to round – I beat Shirov, Gelfand, Almasi and Nikolic without a tiebreak, and had just one tiebreak against Khalifman, which of course you will remember. But in general things had gone very smoothly, and I remember spending a very pleasant rest day over Christmas, on the day when Short and Adams were playing their long tiebreak. At some stage in the evening I got a phone call saying okay, it's Adams. It would seem that I was fresh and relaxed, but right on the first day I had big problems, and after that I could have won each of the remaining games, but only for a brief moment, and when that moment passed it was gone. So it was a very tough match, and we went to the tiebreak, which went the whole distance. It was absolutely nerve-wracking. I missed chances in the regular games, he missed chances in most of the rapid games – quite often I though oh my god I've blown this – but somehow I'd get a draw, and only in the fifth game I prevailed. But the point I'm making is that it seemed to make no difference whatsoever that one side was fresh and the other tired.
So what is your tip for the final result in Tripoli?
Rustam Kasimdzhanov vs Michael Adams in Tripoli
It's difficult to say. For instance today I think Kasim is equalising without any problems, and I'm assuming it will be a short draw [it was, half an hour later], and they will both settle in nicely. We'll have to see how the match goes. I really can't pick a favourite at this point.
So you don't sit there watching these games and regretting that you are not part of it?
No, not at all. I watch because the games are interesting, with so many strong players. But I don't feel I should be there. No.
So what are you doing instead?
Sort of getting ready for Dortmund and enjoying the break. Because I have a crowded second half of the year. I'm playing Dortmund, Mainz, then a rapid tournament in Brazil, then I'll play in the Olympiad in Mallorca, then probably Corsica, and some Bundesliga matches as well.
So you are doing fine and enjoying life, even without Tripoli…
Oh yes, very much so. For me it is just a very interesting tournament to watch, I have no regrets about it.

Lets face it- the Irish enjoy a pint. Or four. Who am I to judge? Oh, and they like sports too. With the NFL's big game coming up you're going to need a cozy place to watch the big game with ten of your closest friends. This year why not give Kinsale Tavern a shot? Although it features a large dining room, this distinctly Irish dive has a cozy feel with great food, and a better beer list. Oh, did I mention probably the best whiskey selection on the Upper East Side?
Wait, the Upper East Side? I know, I know, I know. The Upper East Side. Who wants to go there? Rest assured, it's far enough away from Madison Avenue that you won't have to deal with any Fashionistas, except for maybe one very lost soul. It is two transfers from Penn, so you won't be overrun by the bridge and tunnel crowd either.
To be expected, the bar has a fantastic Shepard's Pie. The traditional Irish Breakfast is also great, as is the sausage and mashed potatoes and beans. The fish and chips are fantastic as well. The best-named dish is the Hot Sandwich Adventure, but as they say, a rose by any other name. While juicy and delicious, it is just a hot turkey and ham sandwich, accented by roasted peppers. They definitely get points for creativity with this one. I would be remiss if I failed to mention the wings. I would put these up against the best that Buffalo had to offer. Always served hot and fresh, and with plenty of blue cheese, don't miss these on your visit.
On to the best part- the booze. It is worth noting that they serve pints according to the Queen. Yes that's right a full 20 ounces as opposed to the typical 16. And lucky for us during happy hour (till 7) those pints are only $3.50! The beer list features a full 25 or so makes, from high ABV offerings to session ales for those making a day of it. Being a pub in the tradition of County Cork, there are many single malts to be had. In fact at any given time they have as many as 75, in addition to a wide selection of bourbon and other American varieties.
In addition to the typical American games, Kinsale features many international games as well. This includes many closed circuit soccer games, as well as rugby. They even feature hurling and other Gaelic events.


7 Ways to reduce Your Stress at Work - Open Systems Inc.
Stress can happen to anyone. With long days, project deadlines, and high expectations, everyone is bound to feel strained at one point or another. What's important is learning to manage it and prevent burnout. Successful stress reduction varies person to person, so here are some ideas to find what works for you.
Get comfortable: Your workspace matters. Having the right setup where you spend most of your time every day is important. If you need a standing desk or monitor arms to help you feel more comfortable, make a case to your boss. If your office is always cold, bring a blanket from home. Focus on what's fixable and will make you more comfortable.
Do one thing at a time: Multitasking is a sure way to increase stress. Focusing on one task at a time can not only help reduce your mental stress, it can make you more effective and productive, lowering your stress further as you see your to-do list shorten.
Curate your playlists: Whether it's music for the drive home or a playlist to keep you energized at work, music has the power to reduce stress and increase focus.
Avoid conflict: No one wants to deal with drama at the workplace. Keep everything professional and stress-free by avoiding gossip, not engaging in political or religious discussions, and keeping relationships friendly, professional, and platonic.
Stay organized: Disorganization increases stress. Having a place for everything – from paperwork to in-progress projects – can increase your mental and emotional energy by not having to track things down. Keeping your work computer, desk, and file cabinets organized and clean can help save your sanity at work.
Take breaks: It's okay to step away from your desk or take a walk after a meeting. Getting some fresh air or taking a water break can keep stress levels low and improve mindfulness.
Focus on clear communication: If you need to ask a question for clarification, ask. If you are unclear on expectations, get more information. People's stress can increase when communication is absent or unclear, so make sure you get as much information on projects and expectations as possible.
Work stress can happen, but it doesn't have to be a day-to-day struggle. Mindfully managing your stress at the office can help you enjoy your days more and increase the quality of your work output and work relationships.
If you're looking for a change because your job seems to be high stress with no end in sight, get in touch today. We can help you find a position that might help you gain a little more peace of mind.

Trump Turned Down 'Billions Of Dollars Of Deals,' Says Presidential Duties Are More Important: 'This Is A Calling'
Ashley Hoffman
Multiple business offers have landed on President-elect Donald Trump's desk to entice him to embark on business deals in the final weeks before he is sworn into office, according to CNN Money. Trump mentioned that a major player presented him with seven offers in one week. However, the president-elect did not specify who made the offer.
Trump said in an interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday that he's turning down "billions of dollars of deals" to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
"If I were really going to do new deals right now –I am turning down billions of dollars of deals… I turned down seven deals with one big player, great player, last week, because I thought it could be perceived as a conflict of interest."

When asked about his array of business interests, Trump told Wallace that he "has the right" to do business deals. However, during his time in office, he maintained he would not be making deals at all.
"I'm not going to be doing deals at all. Now that would be – I don't even know if that's a conflict. I mean, I have the right to do it. You know, under the law, I have the right to do it. I just don't want to do it. I don't want to do deals, because I want to focus on this."
Government ethics experts have voiced concerns about conflicts that are posed by Trump's business interests. According to a CNN analysis, Trump owns or has a position in more than 500 companies. Trump will reveal on December 15 how his hundreds of business will continue to operate when he takes office. On this day, Trump will also disclose what actions he will take to remove himself from the general operations of his company.
The announcement led to speculation about whether Trump was planning to separate himself from his beloved businesses. From the interview, it seemed Trump still has no intention of selling off his vast network of hotels, golf courses, and licensing agreements, according to the Daily Mail.
"You know, when you sell real estate, that's not like going out and selling a stock. That takes a long time."
In the interview on Fox News Sunday, Trump also said he wouldn't have "anything to do with the management" of his company. Trump said his three adult children would play a large role in maintaining his businesses. When Trump was asked for specifics on his children's future roles, he emphasized they would not be making major deals.
"My executives will run it with my children. It's a big company, it's a great company. But I'm going to have nothing to do with management… When I ran, everybody knew that I was a very big owner of real estate all over the world."
Last week, the New York Times reported that Ivanka Trump would take a leave of absence from the company. She and her husband, Jared Kushner, have reportedly been searching for potential homes in Washington, D.C. Ivanka Trump will also appear at Trump's upcoming press conference.
"I have a lot of property and great stuff. They're going to run it. They're going to run it. Hopefully, they're going to run it properly. I'm sure they're going to run it properly. But I'm not going to do deals. And I think – you know, I think that's going to be good."

Norm Eisen, who is involved in governance studies at the Brookings Institution, argued that Trump's arrangement wouldn't work out and that he should sign everything over to an independent trustee immediately in order to avoid any trouble.
"Although it is, of course, important that Mr. Trump has no involvement in Trump business operations, in order to avoid conflicts, he must also exit the ownership of his businesses through using a blind trust or equivalent. Otherwise, he will have a personal financial interest in his businesses that will sometimes conflict with the public interest, and constantly raise questions and legal issues.
"For example, unless he divests ownership, he will have an interest in the foreign government payments and benefits that flow to his businesses daily… That creates such a serious conflict of interest that the framers of the constitution prohibited it for the president in the emoluments clause. Far smaller potential conflicts led every president for four decades to do a blind trust or the equivalent, and so should Trump."
Trump rejected suggestions from Wallace that foreign countries booking events at his D.C. hotel could be a way to tip the scales in his business' favor.
"No," Trump responded.
Trump then reminded Chris Wallace of the $60 million he poured into his campaign.
"I will tell you, running for president — the money I spent is peanuts compared to the money I won't make, and that's okay, because this is so important."
Trump continued on passionately and noted his White House victory is much more meaningful.
"What I'm doing is so important. This is a calling."

When you own dogs, cats or other small pets, it is not always easy to find hotels that accept our four-legged friends and provide services tailored to their needs.
For this reason we often give up on a hotel stay or we are forced to decide to entrust our dogs or cats to relatives, friends or specialized facilities such as animal pensions that can deal with them in our absence. In addition, if occasionally admitted, in many hotels, not always our animal friends enjoy the right respect for their essential needs, such as the possibility of using their dedicated spaces.
Just to meet the needs of those who want to spend their holidays in the company of their own dogs or cats and at the same time disincentive to the abandonment of animals, in recent years, both in Italy and in the rest of the world, so-called pet friendly Hotels have increased. These accommodations are hotels that can give hospitality to animals and ensure them the right treatment, adequate spaces and personalized services.
Petfriendly hotels are generally located near tree-lined areas or with at least green spaces where you can play your dog. In recent years, even pet friendly hotels near the beaches have increased, and in some cases there are real equipped lids designed for people with dogs.
Pet friendly hotels may be available for small pets, dog sitting services, bowls and chains, and in some cases access to the restaurant area, with specially designed menus. Among the services offered, you will also find the availability of large balconies or boxes suitable to accommodate four-legged friends, respecting the hygienic conditions and the balance between the host and the animal. An essential element to know before booking is the possibility of veterinary care 24 hours a day, a service absolutely essential when traveling with your four-legged friend.
So numerous places in the globe rely heavily on tourism as a crucial source of revenue and employment presently, as effectively as a way of displaying off national and regional heritage, plus perceived successes.
