If you have media files with exactly the same codec and codec parameters you can concatenate them as described in "1. Concatenation of files with same codecs". If you have media with different codecs you can concatenate them as described in "2. Concatenation of files with different codecs" below.
The concat filter is available in recent versions of ffmpeg. Here is the official documentation.
tells ffmpeg what streams to send to the concat filter; in this case, streams 0 and 1 from input 0 (input1.mp4 in this example), and streams 0 and 1 from input 1 (input2.webm).
This is the concat filter itself. n=2 is telling the filter that there are two input files; v=1 is telling it that there will be one video stream; a=1 is telling it that there will be one audio stream. [v] and [a] are names for the output streams, to allow the rest of the ffmpeg line to use the output of the concat filter.
Note that the single quotes ' ' around the whole filter section are required.
Note that filters are incompatible with stream copying; you can't use -c copy with this method. Also, I'm not sure whether softsubs are supported.
As you can infer from this example, multiple types of input are supported, anything readable by ffmpeg should work. The inputs have to be of the same frame size, and a handful of other attributes have to match.
The following script can be used to concatenate multiple input media files (containing audio/video streams) into one output file (just like as if all the inputs were played in a playlist, one after another). It is based on this FAQ item: How can I join video files, which also contains other useful information.

Tehran (AFP) - Iran's polls finally closed after Friday's election was extended to cope with the large numbers turning out to give their verdict on President Hassan Rouhani and his troubled efforts to rebuild international ties and kickstart the struggling economy.
Rouhani, a 68-year-old moderate cleric who spearheaded a 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, has framed the vote as a choice between greater civil liberties and "extremism".
But he has faced stiff competition from hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi, 56, who positioned himself as a defender of the poor and called for a much tougher line with the West.
The interior ministry extended the vote to midnight as it became clear thousands were still waiting in line when the initial closing time arrived four hours earlier.
"The enthusiastic participation of Iranians in the election reinforces our national power and security," said Rouhani as he cast his vote in Tehran.
State media said more than 30 million -- over half of registered voters -- had already cast their ballot when the initial deadline was reached.
"The enthusiastic participation of Iranians in the election reinforces our national power and security," said Rouhani as he voted in Tehran.
But Raisi's campaign had already lodged complaints before polls even closed, saying there had been hundreds of "propaganda actions" by Rouhani supporters at voting booths, which are banned under election laws.
"His main focus is deprived people and he wants to fight corruption," said Mohsen, a 32-year-old Raisi supporter.
"Our country is surrounded by enemies -- if we don't strengthen our domestic situation, we will be harmed."
Rouhani's central achievement was a deal with six powers led by the United States that eased crippling economic sanctions in exchange for curbs to Iran's nuclear programme -- efforts which he said must be protected from hardliners.
"One wrong decision by the president can mean war," he warned this week.
His opponent says he will stick by the nuclear deal, but points to a persistent economic slump as evidence Rouhani's diplomatic efforts have failed.
"Instead of using the capable hands of our young people to resolve problems, they are putting our economy in the hands of foreigners," Raisi said at a closing campaign rally in second city Mashhad.
But US President Donald Trump has launched a 90-day review of the accord that could see it abandoned, and is visiting Iran's bitter regional rival Saudi Arabia this weekend.
Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei voted at his compound just minutes after polls opened, saying: "The destiny of the country is in the hands of Iranians."
"I want social justice, social freedoms and political development, and good relations with all countries in the world," said Rouhani supporter Nasim, a 37-year-old university lecturer.
"I've almost lost my entire business in recent years. Our small importers can't afford to bypass sanctions and it's illegal," said first-time voter Amir Fathollahzadeh, 51.
"I'm voting for Rouhani to try to save my dignity."
Meanwhile, Raisi has promised to triple cash handouts to the poor, hoping to pick up voters who once supported Rouhani's populist predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"Unfortunately in recent years the dialogue of revolution has been weakened. People should restore the revolution's path," said Raisi supporter Mahanz Rafii, 50, a theology professor wearing her head-to-toe chador robes.
Iranians are also voting for local councils, with reformists hoping to overturn the conservatives' narrow majority in the capital.

Mindy Kaling Confirms She's in Talks About 'Ms. Marvel'
Captain Marvel was a huge success, bringing in over a billion dollars worldwide and making Carol Danvers a household name. But there's another hero who remains a fan favorite among comic book fans who shares the Marvel name. Kamala Khan, a Pakistani immigrant who hails from New Jersey, was hailed as one of the best comic book characters of all time. She's been hailed for allowing a Muslim character to headline a major comic title, as well as her personality being funny, full of heart, and showcasing her as a young, new hero making her way in the wider Marvel Universe. Fans have been clamoring for a big screen adaptation of the character for sometime and it appears Marvel is hoping to make that a reality.
Image via Newsweek
ComicBook has revealed that Mindy Kaling has been in talks about the character on a recent press tour. Kaling noted Marvel is extremely excited about the character and trying to figure out what to do with her. Kaling seems to share the enthusiasm, noting that an unknown talent might be best for bringing the character to life (similar to how the big stars of the MCU, such as Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and Robert Downey Jr became mega stars for playing Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man). Kaling has previously offered to a pitch a script to adapt the comic character. The overseer of the MCU, Kevin Fiege, has noted they did Captain Marvel first with the intention of doing Ms. Marvel later, in order for Kahn to have someone to be inspired by.
With all this passion around the project, we hope Kaling is brought on board to adapt this character and we can't wait to see her brought to life! What are your thoughts?

Use of Israel as "Unilateral" Aggressor Was Long-Planned
Fri 4:04 am +00:00, 1 Nov 2013 3
Tel Aviv Regime Strikes Syria, Again
Latest Israeli attack part of wider US-Saudi-Israeli strategy.
November 1, 2013 (Tony Cartalucci) – Israel and its Western sponsors have admitted to an unprovoked airstrike in Syrian territory this week. This is the latest of several assaults Israeli planes have carried out against neighboring Syria over the past year. CNN, in its report, "Israeli planes strike Syrian military base, U.S. official says," admits:
Israeli warplanes struck a military base near the Syrian port city of Latakia this week, an Obama administration official told CNN on Thursday.
An explosion at a missile storage site in the area was reported in the Middle Eastern press, but an attack has not been confirmed by the Israeli government.
The target, according to the Obama administration official, was missiles and related equipment the Israelis felt might be transferred to the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah. The official declined to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information.
There was some confusion about the timing of the attack, with some reports saying it happened Wednesday, and others sayingThursday.
When asked for comment, an Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman told CNN: "We don't refer to foreign reports."
Israel's Haaretz newspaper claims in its article, "Report: Israel destroyed Hezbollah-bound missile shipment in Syria," that:
According to the unnamed source, the strike targeted a shipment of missiles and related equipment Israeli intelligence estimated were to be transferred to Hezbollah.
Earlier on Thursday, citing anonymous sources, Al-Arabiya carried a similar report.
It said that the strikes targeted an SA-8 surface-to-air missile shipment for Hezbollah and that the two targets were destroyed.
SA-8 missiles are used in air-defense to protect airspace, and are not offensive weapons, making the recent Israeli attack all the more an egregious act of aggression in direct violation of international law.
Israel's refusal to provide details to the press highlights the perceived impunity the rogue nation believes it operates with upon the international stage – striking beyond its borders without provocation, justification, or explanation. It is precisely because of this carefully cultivated belligerent posture that Israel has been chosen to carry out such attacks against Syria, despite it being only one of several nations currently involved in the arming, funding, and direction of terrorists flooding into Syria and miring the country in a now nearly 3 year long deadly conflict.
While Israel plays the part of unilateral aggressor, citing "security concerns" and fears of "terrorism" as its motivation for its latest unprovoked, extraterritorial attack, it is well documented that the United States and its other regional partner, Saudi Arabia, have long planned to use Israel to carry out attacks neither could justify carrying out themselves. The purpose of such attacks is both to carry out short term strategic objectives, and as a means of triggering a wider conflict.

Peace Process Is Doomed To Fail While Israel Stalls For Time
By Jonathan Cook
October 31, 2013 "Information Clearing House – Whatever happened to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process? You could be forgiven for thinking everyone packed up shop a while ago and forgot to inform you. There's been barely a peep about it since the revival of talks was greeted with great fanfare back in July.
The negotiations, which have been conducted in a fug of secrecy, flitted briefly back on the radar last week when the US secretary of state,John Kerry, met Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for what the media called an "unusually long", seven-hour meeting in Rome.
Much of the conversation was held in private, with not even officials present, but, according to reports, discussions concentrated on therevived peace process. Mr Kerry, concerned about the lack of tangible progress, is believed to have tried to pin Mr Netanyahu down on his vision of where the nine-month negotiations should lead.
Mr Kerry's intervention follows weeks of mounting Palestinian frustration, culminating in rumours that the talks are on the verge of collapse. After a meeting with Mr Kerry in Paris, an Arab League official, Nasif Hata, added to the desultory atmosphere, saying there were "no positive indications of progress".
Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, on a tour of European capitals last week in search of diplomatic support, tried to scotch suggestions that the talks were at a "dead end". They were "difficult", he admitted, and after nearly three months of meetings the two sides were still "at the beginning of the road".
But privately his officials have expressed exasperation at Israel's inflexibility and the miserliness of its opening positions. Earlier this month the Al Hayat newspaper reported that Israel had refused to discuss the key issue of borders, instead focusing exclusively on its own security concerns.
None of this is surprising. At Israel's insistence, the talks have been entirely shielded from public view. Privacy, Israel argued, would ease the pressure on the two parties and give them greater room to be forthcoming and creative.
The reality, however, is that the lack of scrutiny has allowed Israel to drag its feet. Israel's lead negotiator, Tzipi Livni, has already warned that the talks' timetable is likely to overrun.
Similarly, US envoy Martin Indyk was supposed to be Mr Kerry's eyes and ears in the talks. Instead he spent the first two months locked out of the proceedings, apparently again at Israel's instigation.
Secrecy, Israel hopes, will give it the cover it expects to need when – as seems certain – the talks end inconclusively, or the Palestinians storm out. Widespread ignorance about developments can be exploited to cast the Palestinians as the treacherous party, as occurred following the collapse of the Camp David talks in 2000.
But belatedly we are seeing a little of the leadership role Washington promised. Mr Indyk is said to be now actively involved. The rate of meetings between the negotiators has been stepped up sharply in the past two weeks. And last week's meeting in Rome suggested that the US hopes to pressure Mr Netanyahu either into making a big concession or into beginning the face-to-face talks with Mr Abbas that this process is supposed eventually to lead to.
According to Mr Hata, the US has also promised the Arab League it will "take action" if there is no breakthrough by January, presenting "viable suggestions for ways to end the thaw".
But whatever Mr Netanyahu told Mr Kerry in private last week, few believe the Israeli prime minister is really ready to seek peace. Earlier this month he set out in public his vision for the talks, in a follow-up to his famous speech in 2009, when, faced with a newly installed US president, Barack Obama, he agreed to a two-state solution.
This time, speaking from the same podium, he sounded in no mood for conciliation. "Unless the Palestinians recognise the Jewish state and give up on the right of return there will not be peace," he said. He denied the "occupation and settlements" were causes of the conflict, and insisted on Israel's need for "extremely strong security arrangements".
It is this kind of uncompromising talk that has discredited the negotiations with those outside the White House.
Last week Yuval Diskin, a recent head of the Shin Bet, Israel's domestic intelligence service, warned that there was no realistic prospect that "the Israeli public will accept a peace agreement". Israelis' distrust of the negotiations is fuelled by the constant opposition of government ministers.
In a further show of dissension, they have backed a bill that would require a two-thirds parliamentary majority before Israel can even broach at the talks the key issue of dividing Jerusalem. If passed, the legislation would turn the negotiations into a dead letter.
On the other side, Hamas has grown emboldened. Ismail Haniyeh, the prime minister in Gaza, has called on Palestinians to renew a "popular uprising", just as a 1.5km tunnel Hamas had built into Israel was exposed.
In the West Bank, a spate of attacks and killings of Israelis over the past few weeks – after a year without the loss of a single Israeli life from the conflict in 2012 – has provoked wild speculation about whether a Palestinian uprising is imminent. A Palestinian driving a bulldozer who went on a rampage through a military base near Jerusalem only reinforced the impression.
Conveniently, Mr Netanyahu has exploited widespread opposition to the next round of Palestinian prisoner releases, due yesterday – the carrot to keep the Palestinians at the negotiating table – to justify plans for yet more settlement building.
All indications are that these talks, like their predecessors, are doomed to fail. The question is whether the Palestinians have the nerve to unmask the charade. If not, Israel will use the peace process as cover while its settlements devour yet more of the Palestinian state-in-waiting.

Its time israel was punished for its continued terrorism on other nations
we can begin by boycotting all jewish goods and businesses
There won't be any Israeli Cameras in Syria, so they are still in with a chance.
Rule 1, get rid of Israeli Cameras.
A lot of Africans escaping starvation in Africa crossed to Israel recently and the Israelis have been vaccinating every one against disease, except they are not.
Northern truth had a guest on from something called
Doctors against racism who claimed the vaccinations are to sterilise the black african refugees.
if true i am horrified !

Q: Disabled button working in my View page using jquery this is my Beginform and I have buttons in my view..
On document load I am doing disabling my submit button
I am seeing My buttons are Disabled but when I click on Save button still its going to my controler?
please can anybody tell me why its doing like this?

A: It seems that the click event still fires on the disabled buttons.
If you can influence the functions that fire, you could do a disabled check in them and return false if the button is still disabled.

A: Use an input of type='button' instead and do a check in the jquery click function of the button to see if it is disabled and submit the form if not. You could also pass a value into a hidden field in order to know what button has been clicked at the controller.
<input type='hidden' id='hdnSave' name='Save' />

$('#btnSubmit').click(function(){
if ($('#btnSubmit').attr('disabled') == false)
{
$('#hdnSave').val('Save');
$('#exc-').submit();
}

After three short years he left the Forest and in 1944 the next incumbent to be appointed was a certain Robert Deakin, a man with good Forest connections. With patient and practical pastoral care and good leadership skills, he rapidly rebuilt the life of the Church in this district.
The picture below shows him in 1947 photographed outside the Church Door with the Churchwardens and Choir of the time.
After serving with distinction as Vicar of Drybrook from 1947 to 1949, Robert Deakin was appointed Vicar of Charlton Kings (near Cheltenham) from whence he was Consecrated Bishop of Tewkesbury to serve as the Suffragan Bishop in Gloucester Diocese.
The Reverend John Hall, another Forester, was the tenth Incumbent of this Parish.
He was a forester and had been a chaplain in the Airforce. People still remember him as an athletic man and he accomplished the feat of visiting almost every house in the parish at least once in his time here !
In 1953, the Reverend William Barker became Vicar of Drybrook, a man of small stature but with energy and drive. He served as Vicar of this parish for 6 years.
The Reverend Smith began work here in 1960 but only stayed in post as Vicar of Drybrook for three years.
In that time he started "district congregations" on Ruardean Woodside and at Steam Mills.
In 1964 the Reverend Edward Hiscox became Vicar, a great character who is still remembered with affection by many parishioners.
"Ted" Hiscox had the amazing ability to forget appointments with great ease and countless tales are told of his late arrival at weddings and his skills at borrowing various items and then completely forgetting to return them! He served here for 11 years and he and his wife will never be forgotten.
The Reverend Geoff Crago became the next Vicar in 1975, and was the first incumbent to live in the new Vicarage in Oaklands Road. He tried to bring the worshipping life of this Church "up to date" with varying degrees of success.
The Reverend Alan Wadge was in office here for a relatively short time from 1980 – 1983.
On leaving Drybrook he became a school chaplain.In 1984, the Reverend Michael Irving took this appointment. Michael proved to be an excellent Priest and a firm friend of many people, inside and outside the life of the Church, in his 7 years here.
He left Drybrook to become Rector of Hempsted and the Diocesan Director of Ordinands and is now serving at Minchinhampton. In 1991 a Priest from the Liverpool Diocese, the Reverend Andrew James was inducted as the 17th Vicar of Drybrook, he served until January 29th 2006 making him the longest serving Vicar of the 20th century!
In April 2006, Andrew was inducted as Parish Priest at Hardwicke with Elmore and Longney still in the Gloucester Diocese though on the opposite side of the River Severn.
On 21st January 2007, the Reverend Nick Bromfield was inducted as Rector of the newly combined parishes Drybrook, Ruardean & Lydbrook. Nick was previously at St. Mary the Virgin Church in St Briavels – also in the Forest of Dean.


This form is only required for St. Anthony's parishioners. All Nativity parishioners are automatically registered for the 9:30 AM Mass on Sunday, May 5 at Nativity Parish.

European corn borer (ECB) is a common pest of corn in Ohio that may cause economic losses during the growing season. European corn borer infestations differ over time and among geographic regions in the state. Where ECB is active, the development of borers in corn stalks interferes with the flow of nutrients in the host plant, enhances infection by stalk diseases, causes stalk breakage and ear drop, and reduces corn yield.
Figure 1. Corn borer egg mass. Figure 2. Larval leaf feeding injury.
ECB overwinters as late instar or stage larvae in corn stalks. In the early spring, the overwintering larvae pupate and then emerge as moths that prefer to deposit their egg masses on the underside of leaves of mid-whorl stage corn. Each egg mass appears like a small mass of fish scales and may include 15 to 20 eggs (fig. 1). The eggs hatch into early-instars that initially feed on foliage, causing window-pane injury, and on the tender central whorl, which subsequently leads to shot-hole injury in the emerging foliage (fig. 2). As the larvae become third- and fourth-instars (about 1/2-inch long), they tunnel into the mid-ribs and stalks. There they complete their larval development as fifth-instars and transform into pupae from which adult moths will emerge in midsummer. This larval generation, which occurs in the spring on whorl-stage corn, is called the first brood. During the period of larval development, significant proportions of larvae perish due to natural elements such as heavy rains or predation by beneficial insect predators. Although 15 to 20 larvae may emerge from a single egg mass, it is rare to find one or more mature larvae in a corn stalk or adjacent stalks to which larvae may have migrated.
Larvae of the first brood pupate in the stalks and emerge again as adult moths in late July and early August. These adults prefer to deposit their eggs on late-planted corn. The larvae hatching from this generation are referred to as the second brood; they will overwinter as late-instar larvae in corn stubble. Larvae will feed on the surface of the leaves before tunneling into the corn stalk where the predominant feeding occurs (fig. 3). Injury caused by the second brood includes stalk breakage, ear drop due to infestation of shanks, and infestations of the ear (fig. 4). Larvae of the second brood are also susceptible to adverse weather, predators, and parasites. The overwintering larvae are very susceptible to insect, avian, and mammalian predators that become active during the late fall, winter, or early spring.
Figure 3. Larva entrance hole with frass. Figure 4. Corn cob tip feeding.
Symptoms, Assessment, and Scouting
Yield losses due to corn borer can be attributed to a combination of stalk injury by first- or second-brood larvae, ear drop due to second-brood injury to shanks and ears, and enhancement of stalk rot due to microbial infection of injured stalks. In general, if one larva tunnels and completes its development per stalk, the assumption is that a 5% yield reduction may be expected. The severity of ear drop and stalk breakage depends on the incidence and location of borer cavities and environmental conditions favoring plant infections by microbial agents.
Sampling for first-brood injury should be initiated when corn is in the whorl stage and early shot-hole foliar injury is evident. Sampling should be based on inspection of a series of 20 plant samples from five or more locations in a field. Notes should be taken on the proportion of the stand exhibiting whorl injury. The whorls of at least two plants from each sample of 20 plants should be dissected to determine the number of larvae per injured plant and the predominant stage of ECB larvae development. Sampling second-brood corn borer is more difficult than first brood, since detection of early larvae on corn in the tassel stage or later is complicated by the size of the corn plant.
First brood rescue treatment may be needed when 75% or more of stand is infested and larvae are susceptible to treatment, that is, they have not tunneled into the stalk. Second brood rescue treatment is warranted when egg masses or early larvae are found on 50% or more of plants. Abundant activity of ECB adults along field edges indicates a need for inspection for egg masses or early larvae in corn. However, in a year of heavy second-brood activity, the problem may be forecasted by observation of an abundant summer flight of adults.
Assessment of second-brood injury in early September with an emphasis on evaluation of stalk quality and ear shank infestation (fig. 5) will provide relevant information on the need for scheduling timely harvest of corn stands that may be susceptible to significant ear drop or stalk breakage if harvest is delayed.
Management of ECB has changed significantly over the past few years, shifting to the use of Bt-corn hybrids, which provide virtually 100% protection against ECB infestation. These products are used as preventive measures against ECB. Transgenic corn hybrids are available containing a Bt corn borer gene alone or more commonly in combination with a Bt gene for control of corn rootworm larval root feeding. Currently, there are three transgenic families from different companies with the Bt-corn borer gene: Agrisure, Herculex, and YieldGard. Hybrids from these families with the Bt-corn borer gene provide excellent control of ECB. When using any of these transgenic corn hybrids whether with the transgenic CB trait alone or in combination, growers need to follow certain EPA regulations that include the use of a 20% refuge. Growers should see their seed dealers for all the requirements and guidelines to follow when planting transgenic hybrids.
Figure 5. Shank injury.
If not using a transgenic hybrid containing a Bt gene for ECB control, growers should scout their fields as described above and use a rescue treatment if necessary. If a rescue treatment is under consideration, a foliar treatment should be applied before larvae begin tunneling into the stalk. Applications of granular foliar treatments tend to be more effective than liquid treatments. Treatments are not effective once larvae have bored deep into plants and become out of reach from chemical treatment.

My mom was a Polio Pioneer
By Richard J. Fox, Rotary Club of Charlotte-Shelburne, Vermont, USA
Since joining Rotary in 2011, I have been impressed by its commitment to eradicating polio from the world through its End Polio Now campaign. That said, polio never resonated with me as a significant cause.
I was generally aware of polio's impact throughout history: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the March of Dimes, iron lungs, and the polio panic here in the United States. But it wasn't personal to me; it was something of the previous generation, abstract, to which I had no emotional investment.
And then my mom went and showed me how wrong I was.
A couple of weeks ago she handed me a small piece of cardboard and said "Since you're in Rotary and its always talking about polio, I thought you might want this." The cardboard was my mother's "Polio Pioneer" card, marking her as one of hundreds of thousands of children throughout the United States who, in the summer of 1954, participated in the largest clinical trial ever conducted.
For most of us born after 1954, I suspect the idea of hundreds of thousands of parents across the nation volunteering their children to test an unproven vaccine for polio is a …read more

Russian ambassador hands Duterte a personal letter from Putin
April 17, 2018 By M G Martin 1 Comment
Vladamir Putin and President Duterte have enjoyed close relations.
Russia's Ambassador to the Philippines handed President Duterte a personal letter from Vladamir Putin during a meeting at the Malacañang, it has been announced.
The president met with Igor Khovaev yesterday (Monday, April 16) and discussed bilateral ties, the war on drugs and the ongoing crisis in Syria, a palace spokesman confirmed today.
Harry Roque said Khovaev handed over the letter from the Russian president as both parties "affirmed their mutual support for each other".
Roque added that the president expressed hope that the situation in Syria would not escalate any further following airstrikes carried out by the US, Britain and France. The bombing missions were carried out in response to alleged chemical attacks ordered by Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
The president and the Russian envoy also discussed the drug war in the Philippines and the International Criminal Court, from which the Philippines has announced its intention to withdraw, Roque added. No further details of the meeting were revealed.
The Malacañang has previously thanked Russia for respecting the president's decision to pull out of the ICC after the tribunal launched a preliminary investigation into deaths linked the war against drugs.
ALSO READ: How Russia is a rising military power in the Asia-Pacific region
Mr Khovaev said in a television interview last month that they "fully understand" why Manila took the same route as Moscow, which withdrew its signature from the Rome Statute — the treaty that created the court — in 2016 after the tribunal came out with a report classifying the Russian annexation of Crimea as an 'occupation'.
The ambassador said the ICC's activities were "highly politicised and it's used as an instrument to put political pressure on selective governments".
President Duterte has long sought to shift his nation's foreign and military alliances towards China and Russia and away from its traditional ally, the USA.
Speaking during a visit to Beijing in October 2016, he said: "America has lost. I've realigned myself in your [Chinese] ideological flow and maybe I will also go to Russia to talk to [President Vladimir] Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world: China, Philippines and Russia. It's the only way."

Villages set to tackle Tesco
PARISH councils across north Essex are to hold a special meeting to tackle supermarket giant Tesco after it was accused of sucking the life out of local business, it has emerged.
At least three villages in the Tendring area are arranging a meeting to discuss how the growing presence of Tesco is damaging local communities.
Plans for the meeting between parishes in Thorpe-le-Soken, Manningtree and Great Bentley emerged after the corporate giant was accused of a "creeping megalomania".
But the country's number one grocer, which nets £1 in every £8 spent by UK consumers, insisted its move into the convenience store sector was not killing off communities, but was rather a "great British success story".
Tesco came under attack from investors and campaign groups yesterday as it addressed its first annual meeting since becoming the first British retailer to post annual profits of £2billion.
Private shareholder Donovan Winter said: "What concerns me is the spread of stores that you have, this creeping megalomania. Everywhere you go, you see an Express.
"It's like a plague of locusts, they are sucking the lifeblood out of local enterprises.
"Where do you see a local family butcher, or a fishmonger or greengrocer? They are being driven out of business. Local people are losing the personal service."
The EADT revealed last week that small traders in Colchester's traditional Crouch Street feared their businesses would be crippled if rumours that Tesco was about to move in proved true.
The company already has two large stores in the town and it will open a new one on the outskirts of Clacton on Monday.
In addition, it has a growing number of smaller Express outlets which are causing concern for many of the county's villagers.
Robert Taylor, chairman of Great Bentley Parish Council, said residents were split over the Tesco presence in his community and backed plans to meet fellow villages.
He said local businesses had been affected, but added there was also anger about noisy delivery lorries and uncooperative truck drivers blocking narrow village streets.
"Our local butcher was not able to compete on price so he's had to stop doing individualised cuts and sell pre-packed meat instead, so that's a service lost.
"But it's the lorries that are the main problems – they're just not appropriate for villages like ours."
His complaint was echoed in both Manningtree, where the parish council is still negotiating with Tesco about how goods are delivered, and Thorpe-le-Soken whose parish council chairman, Brian Healey, said: "We welcome Tesco's presence in some ways, but it's the problems they cause alongside it that really angers people. The meeting would really help us fight the issues together."
However, Tesco chairman David Reid said the claim his company was wiping out the community sector was a "total myth" and added that the UK still had a vibrant independent grocery sector.
He said Tesco's network of around 550 convenience stores represented just a small proportion of the country's total.
"When you talk about a plague of locusts, we are still a small operator in the market," he said.
A number of campaigners protested outside the meeting in central London at Tesco's dominance of the supermarket sector.
They criticised the company for its treatment of farmers, overseas workers and the environment, claims which were rejected by Tesco.
Tesco's expansion overseas and into areas as diverse as personal finance, books and music has contributed to its dominance of the sector.

Album Review: Decker, "Patsy"
Sedona, Arizona native Brandon Decker comes up with some interesting sounds on this, his latest release, Patsy. Issued under the simple moniker of "Decker", he unleashes nine songs of varying styles and sounds – a mixture of neo-folk, inflections of gospel and psychedelia. Some very deft guitar playing, powerful arrangements and an excellent production gives this a certain something that works.
The standout track, "Cellars" has an ebb-and-flow that at moments reminds me of the better parts off Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon (use of Hammond notwithstanding!); it has a dramatic flair that makes you sit up and take notice; "Spades" veers from quiet and restrained into a feedback frenzy in the middle and "5 Oscillations" is a sonic experiment that leads into the eerie "Esther Mofet" but the transition is seamless. "Ol' Dirty Revival" is the lengthier companion piece to "ODB", which begins the album after the noise-test-wave effect of "Saigon" making this a complete cycle.
Although I enjoyed the music and the structures/arrangements of the songs, the vocals (not including the harmonies, which were sharp) are just a little too shrill for my liking. In a lot of ways, he made me think of Feargal Sharkey of The Undertones without the vibrato. But that one distraction aside, Patsy is a fine introduction to Decker.
Patsy is released on February 17th, 2015

Eco-friendly Airfield Mats
Our Airfield Mats are not only made out of recycled materials (ground up tires), but the material can be recycled again when the mats retire. We have yet to see our products reach the end of a life-cycle, as our mats are expected to last 20-25 years. At the end of that life cycle, or if within the 20-25 year life cycle the runway or taxi way lights are moved into concrete shoulders we have a process to reclaim the airfield mats and recycle the material in a eco-friendly way. Our mats can be recycled and used for many different projects such as rubberized mulch, or used in asphalt paving.
The steel anchors can also be recycled. The life expectancy on them could be 50+ years depending on the chemical make up of the soil. We anticipate recycling them either through a refurbishing process or in local scrap metal recycling plants.
We care about our environment. Our products promote a safer environment by alleviating the need for unfriendly chemicals around airfield lights. Our products also put old tires to use in a beneficial way. And to complete the life cycle the material can be recycled once again. We pledge to make tomorrow a cleaner and safer place for our environment. We are committed to working with the most effective eco-friendly solutions available to us now and in the future.

Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire facing one more day of freezing weather before temperatures soar
The north-east has had to endure days of freezing weather and thick snow. However, temperatures are to increase this week with a yellow weather warning set to be lifted.
Lucinda Cameron
Ciaran ShanksReporter
Updated 09:53, 18 DEC 2022
The north-east will have to endure one more day of bitterly cold weather before temperatures soar into the teens on Monday.
A yellow warning for snow and ice is still in force in the north-east with the rest of Scotland also expected to face snow, ice and treacherous travel conditions.
But within 24 hours, temperatures are expected to jump by 15 degrees and the cold snap will be replaced with warmer weather due to milder air coming in from the Atlantic.
Daytime maximum temperatures across the UK on Monday will range from 11C to 14C – in stark contrast to the chilly temperatures recorded over the last week.

The yellow warning for snow and ice comes to an end on Monday (Image: PA Images)
On Tuesday, the mercury plunged to -17.3C in Braemar – the coldest temperature since February 11, 2021. On more recent nights, other places around the country have recorded lows of -10C to minus -15C.
On Saturday, temperatures in Aberdeen were expected to hit a high of 2C, rising sharply to 12C or 13C on Monday. Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna said both daytime and night-time temperatures are expected to increase over the next couple of days.
He told the PA news agency: "At the moment daytime temperatures are low single figures, and in places are staying below freezing under snow cover, so some areas are just a little bit below zero.
"But daytime temperatures by Monday, we're looking at across the UK highs of 11C to 14C, so around about 15 degrees certainly higher than they've been."
Mr Petagna said people can expect a leap of "15 degrees or more" as some snow-covered spots could see an increase of more than 15 degrees.

Q: How to put data from sql into a table in html using node.js I have DATA stored in mysql.
And I want to display it in a table in HTML.
I am currently using NODE.JS AND EXPRESS.
How can I save the DATA that comes in and put it into a table in HTML.
I was trying to find a way to save this DATA,
And use a MAP loop inside a script tag in HTML,
But I could not send the DATA to HTML .
app.js
const mysql = require('mysql')
const SQL = require('sql-template-strings')
const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const app = express()
const port = 3000
const Joi = require('joi');

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }))

// connect to MySQL
const con = mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'root',
    password: 'pass123',
    database: 'carStorege'
})

con.connect((err)=> {
    if(err) throw err;
    else console.log('connect to DB !')
})

// seva data from database
con.query("SELECT * from Cars", (err, result, fields) => {
    if(err) console.log(err);
    else {
         //save the data
        const data = result
    }
})
// express

    // url to see all the car in table

    app.get('/all', (req, res) => {
        con.query("SELECT * from Cars", (err, result, fields) => {
            if(err) throw err;
            else {
                res.sendFile(__dirname+'/allCars.html')
            }
        })

    })

app.listen(port, () => console.log('srever is live'))

and this is the HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>

        Car model
        Color
        Yaer
        Price
        Door number

    // here the data shuld be

A: This needs to be done in front-end javascript. The JS on your webpage (connected to the HTML) needs to request the data from your Node server, then doSomething with it. It will likely be in an array, so you can just loop through the array, create a new HTML row with the data in it, and append that to the correct spot in your table. Something like:
fetch('http://yourWebSite.com/api/all')
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => {
        console.log(data);
        let table = document.querySelector('#tableId')
        data.forEach(row => {
            let tr = document.createElement('tr');
            tr.appendChild(document.createElement('th').innerText(row.item1))
            tr.appendChild(document.createElement('th').innerText(row.item2))
            tr.appendChild(document.createElement('th').innerText(row.item3))
            table.appendChild(tr)
        })
});

This is where frameworks come in handy, since a library like React, Vue, or Angular have rendering strategies that are designed to handle this.

Do dreams merge with reality when a near-death experience happens?
July 2, 2019, 7:14 PM ET
Credit: Newmarket Films
Time distortion. Out-of-body experiences. Sleep paralysis. Hallucinations. Astral projection. We've seen these phenomena in sci-fi movies and shows like Donnie Darko, Flatliners, Charmed and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. But what (besides magic) could really be behind the warped sense of time Donnie experiences or Ambrose's feeling of leaving his own body behind?
What sounds like a mystical experience can be really traumatizing. Scientists are starting to get an idea of what might be causing these eerie sensations. A new study by an international team of researchers has found a possible link between disordered REM sleep and near-death experiences, or NDEs, and how the human brain wakes and dreams.
REM sleep is that phase of sleep when your eyes move rapidly and your brain functions as if you were awake. This is when you have the most vivid dreams. Your body is also paralyzed because the brain transmits a signal to the spinal cord to keep your limbs from moving. Most people aren't aware of that because, you know, they're dreaming.
Frighteningly enough, NDEs — which affect a startling 1 in 10 people — are experienced just as much by those who have gone through something life-threatening (as in someone on the brink of drowning seeing a white light) as those who are in no danger at the time of the phenomenon.
What is really going on in Donnie's brain when he sees Frank? Science now has an idea. (Credit: Newmarket Films)
The researchers found that REM sleep disorders like sleep paralysis mean a greater chance of NDEs. While sleep paralysis isn't actually dangerous, it can feel like you're on the verge of death. The sleeper will wake up unable to move and even breathe in some cases. Hallucinations often happen right before falling asleep or upon waking in that paralyzed state.
"Sometimes I wake at night, and I can't move," reported one subject from the study. "I see strange things, like spirits or demons at my door, and after a while I see them coming beside me. I can't move or talk, and they sit on my chest."
So could that explain why Donnie Darko kept seeing the deranged rabbit otherwise known as Frank? The researchers hypothesized that the brains of people prone to such experiences tend to merge waking and dreaming states.
"Our central finding is that we confirmed the association of near-death experiences with REM sleep intrusion," said neurologist and lead researcher Dr. Daniel Kondziella. "Although association is not causality, identifying the physiological mechanisms behind REM sleep intrusion into wakefulness might advance our understanding of near-death experiences."
While fascinating, these findings still barely dive deeper than the surface of the immeasurably deep ocean of consciousness. It's still all really nebulous, just like a dream.

Back Story: How the Hickman crash anniversary story came together
The flaming wreckage of a F3H Demon jet from Miramar Naval Air Station was strewn across San Clemente Canyon after a crash in San Diego, California, on December 4, 1959. The pilot, Navy Ens. Albert Joe Hickman, 21, of Sioux City, Iowa, died in the crash roughly 200 yards from Nathaniel Hawthorne Elementary School in Clairemont.
(San Diego History Center / Union-Tribune Collection)
By John Wilkens
In today's Back Story, reporter John Wilkens discusses his feature story about a Navy pilot whose crash 60 years ago still echoes in San Diego and beyond.
Q: Who was Albert Joe Hickman?
A: He was an unmarried, 21-year-old Navy ensign from Sioux City, Iowa, who joined the service right out of high school and wound up in a fighter-jet squadron at Naval Air Station Miramar. On Dec. 4, 1959, his plane went down in a canyon in Clairemont, narrowly missing an elementary school with 750 students in attendance.
Q: Why is the crash worth noting this many years later?
A: He stayed with the plane rather than parachute out, apparently because he was concerned about where it might land. Witnesses said the plane appeared to veer away from the school before it crashed about 200 yards beyond the playground fence. Hickman died, and because his plane missed the school and its occupants, he was quickly labeled a hero.
Q: How is he memorialized here?
A: A different elementary school was named after him, as are ball fields in Kearny Mesa and an American Legion post in San Diego. But the tale has faded among the general public over time, as tales do, even in a place like ours with its long military history.
Q: Your story centers on a local man, Sean Kelley, who took it upon himself to make sure Hickman is remembered. What was his motivation?
A: He's a self-described "Navy brat" with a deep appreciation for military veterans and their service. He's a longtime volunteer with the Mt. Soledad memorial in La Jolla, and three years ago he decided to join the American Legion through its "sons of" membership. The post he signed up for is named after Albert Hickman.
After he joined, Kelley started thinking it would be a good idea to have a plaque for Hickman on Mt. Soledad, and he began pulling together people from different parts of the story to make a ceremony happen.
Q: You and other reporters at the Union-Tribune regularly do anniversary stories. Why do you think they're important?
A: I think it's always valuable to remember where we've been, and what that history says about who we are now. In this case, I was struck by the unadorned patriotism that was quickly attached to Hickman's actions. At one of the ceremonies surrounding the naming of a new elementary school for him, students recited a spell-out of his name — "H is for Hickman, a hero brave and true" — that is a reflection of a less cynical time.
If the crash happened today, how long would it be before somebody on Twitter tried to knock the dead pilot off his pedestal?
Q: What do you make of the apparent misspelling of his last name all these years? Is it Hickman or Hickmon?
A: His parents used Hickmon. That's what's on their shared gravestone in a cemetery in Sioux City, Iowa. An obituary from 2000 for one of Albert's siblings also has the family name as Hickmon.
In all the media reporting after the crash, Albert's last name is Hickman, which suggests to me that's how the Navy spelled it. Reporters routinely ask for the correct spellings of names. So was it a typographical error in the Navy records? Did a military public information officer misread the records and relay the wrong spelling to reporters on the day of the crash?
Whatever the reason, it became Hickman and stayed that way. This was in the days before the Internet and email. If relatives in Iowa and elsewhere knew about the change of spelling, I suspect they decided not to make a fuss because they were proud of what he had done and pleased that he was being memorialized.
But here's the final twist: Albert Joe is buried in Sioux City, too, in the same cemetery where his parents are. The last name on the grave marker? Hickman.

Babylist makes an even bigger bet on baby products with Expectful acquisition
Natasha Mascarenhas @nmasc_ / 2 weeks
Today, baby registry and product discovery platform Babylist announced that it has acquired health and wellness tool Expectful for an undisclosed price. The deal brings together two companies focused on parental support, now helping people navigate everything from eco-friendly diapers to mental wellness around fertility.
The overlap, however, is in more than the mission. Both of the company's CEOs invested in each other's last venture capital round; Babylist's CEO and founder Natalie Gordon wrote a check into Expectful's $3 million seed round back in 2021; and Expectful CEO Nathalie Walton invested in Babylist's last round, a $40 million Series C closed in the same year.
While the two founders didn't publicly disclose purchase price, both certainly have venture capitalists to answer to. Babylist has raised $50 million in known funding from investors including Norwest Venture Partners, Halogen Ventures, 500 Global, Next Play Capital and Marcy Venture Partners. Expectful has raised over $4.2 million in funding from investors including Harlem Capital. Indicator Ventures, Sequoia Scout Fund, Break Trail Ventures and Chinagona Ventures.
The long-term vision for the newly combined company is for Babylist to change its relationship with its audience and become a larger, health and wellness media property, Gordon said. While Expectful will stay as a standalone website, Gordon hinted that much of its content will eventually be free to access — different from its currently advertised subscriber-oriented business model.
"Having a baby is so wonderful — it's also overwhelming and isolating," Gordon said. "When you talk to people going through this — the stuff is one thing, but actually their physical and their mental and emotional health are like much more significant." With Expectful, she said, the company can talk to its audience in a way that doesn't make sense for the tech-powered registry side of the business.
Babylist's eye for expansion may be partially attributed to its revenue growth; the company grossed over $240 million in revenue in 2021, although it did not share 2022 revenue on the record. Over eight million people made purchases from Babylist this past year, the company said.
Walton went from a user of Expectful to its chief executive in less than a year. She first joined as an adviser to Expectful, seeing it as an opportunity to be entrepreneurial despite delivering her son just weeks prior in a stressful pregnancy. Soon, Expectful's then-CEO and founder Mark Krassner saw her as a key fit to lead the business, as it pivoted its product strategy to grow beyond recorded meditations. In a past interview, Walton described Expectful's plan to mimic Peloton's playbook of matching premium content with community.
Now, the entrepreneur is staying on at Babylist as a board adviser. She says she always saw the company's exit looking like a merger with a partner in the digital health space.
"This acquisition allows us to have a much bigger impact than if we were to stay focused on revenue even," Walton said. "Women need our products and they need our solution now, we don't have time to wait to go that route of let's just keep on growing revenue and have an IPO — it was more like, let's prioritize impact, and I don't think enough startups are thinking" that way.
Expectful's new chief executive experienced the trauma she just raised millions to solve

Physiotherapy volunteers take part in Crisis at Christmas campaign
Posted Sunday 15 December 2013
Physiotherapy lecturers and students from Kingston University will be lending a helping hand this Christmas, at Crisis the national charity for single homeless people.
The charity is well known for its winter campaign, Crisis at Christmas, when homeless people are invited in to Crisis' day centres so they are not alone over Christmas. While there, they are offered support and healthcare by volunteer nurses, dentists and now physiotherapists. Last year, the physiotherapy volunteers provided 104 treatments over six days.
The initiative was set up by Joanna Dawes, senior physiotherapy lecturer at the Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education at Kingston University and St George's, University of London. Joanna contacted Crisis when she moved to London from Glasgow.
"Crisis was interested in the work I had done with homeless people in Glasgow," Joanna said. "So, in 2012, we set up a pilot with qualified physiotherapists and students working together to support homeless people."
The service was such as success that the volunteers will be back in action this Christmas - busier than ever. Nicholas Blanning, Crisis at Christmas' services coordinator, said they are aiming to offer physiotherapy in all 10 of their London centres from 22-30 December. "Jo's enthusiasm and tireless work in organising and promoting the service has gone above and beyond what we could have expected," he said.
In addition to helping out, the students gain valuable experience and insight from the experience, as it takes them away from the classroom and their usual clinical placements. Third-year physiotherapy student Stuart Deaton will be returning for his second stint as a volunteer and he also helps Joanna coordinate the service.
"I wasn't sure what to expect - I had little experience of working with homeless people," Stuart said. "I was struck by the fact that most of them were suffering from the same musculoskeletal conditions that the general public suffer from. The big difference was that their conditions were exacerbated by their circumstances and limited access to mainstream healthcare."
