#UK CEO highlights fantastic opportunities as ARM revenue and profits storm ahead
Simon Segars, the CEO of Cambridge UK superchip architect ARM Holdings, announced a fresh surge in revenue and profits for the first quarter of 2016 and predicted a new era of "fantastic opportunities" for the business.
ARM Q1 revenues were 22 per cent ahead to £276.4 million with pre-tax profit was 14 per cent higher at £137.5m.
Processor royalty revenues were up 15 per cent year-on-year, outperforming the industry by some distance. Segars reported strong demand and robust order books which would keep ARM on course to hit financial targets throughout 2016 despite record investment in global growth from its rapidly expanding Cambridge HQ.
He said 4.1 billion ARM-based chips were shipped in the quarter – up 10 per cent on Q1 2015. ARM-based microcontrollers and smartcards were up 20 per cent year-on-year.
ARM has seen its current technology gaining share in target end-markets, and strong demand for next generation of products from a wide range of companies.
It says the licensing pipeline for the rest of the year is robust, with leading companies looking to license ARM technology for their next generation products.
"We expect that ARMv8-A technology will continue to penetrate in mobile and enterprise markets, and the higher royalty rate earned on these products will underpin future royalty revenues," the company reported.
Segars said: "Devices are increasingly being improved by first becoming digital, and then smart, and then connected. This is generating huge amounts of data that needs to be protected, transmitted, managed and stored across the internet.
"These trends are creating fantastic opportunities for ARM and our partners. They are driving our licensing, as more companies need access to smart processors to build intelligence into more products, and they will drive future royalty revenue as more consumers and enterprises choose to buy smarter and more connected products.
"At our Capital Markets Day in September, we announced a step-up in our investment plans to accelerate share gains in markets such as networking infrastructure and servers, and to create new products that will take advantage of opportunities in the Internet of Things.
"In line with those plans we have increased investment in R & D as we develop the next generation of processor, physical IP and on-chip systems technologies.
"We have also increased investment in support of our ecosystem partners; and we are assisting OEMs and end-users to test and build ARM-based systems, especially in new markets.
"The future returns on these investments remain in line with our expectations. They will drive our future royalty and licence revenue growth, and enable us to extend our opportunities and create new revenue streams."

This image is very "mean girls" and it makes me feel icky

This photo.
It's been circulating.
The feelings it's stirring up.
Those are circulating too.
In abundance…on my social media feed at least.
And I'm triggered by it.
And what I'm gonna say,
is not going to be liked by all.
My sentiments, this Facebook post, it'll be shared by some...maybe…perhaps.
But more than those that do agree with me,
there wil be those that don't.
Still, I'm gonna say it.
I've got to say it.
If we stand for good people, we stand for all of them.
Black, white, woman, man, transgender or anything in between.
I'm a woman.
And, sure, I have every right to fight for voting rights, for the right to serve, for equal pay and whatever else I damn well please.
But a woman, who, from every bone in her body and the soul housed inside of it knows she is one,
she, too,
has every right I do,
and that includes the right to stand on the podium she has her whole life silently fought to stand on.
It's not about knowing every humans plight.
It's not even about being able to fully understand it.
It is about AT LEAST trying to, AND RESPECTING IT.
It's super freakin' easy to stand in the audience and lead a commentary.
I can imagine it's really freakin' hard to be in the race and feel duped or slighted.
But what I and some many of us cannot imagine is how it must feel to be a member of the human race and to question your whole existence and value.
That's -effin crazy.
And withstanding that kind of doubt
and finally getting a seat at the table only for every one else at that table to get up and walk away,
it's sad,
disappointing,
but, I hope to God only more motivating.
Here's some uncontested accolades…
for any person
— young, old, man, woman, or anything in between and they're just from a middle-aged woman and her phone keyboard, but I do hope they reach you and I hope they give you hope —
BRAVO! You did it. You're doing it. You're facing an uphill feat and you're facing it head and heart on. Well done!

America is being ruled by an 'idiot', says Isis in barb at Donald Trump
Jihadist group mocks US president
Benjamin Kentish
Tuesday 04 April 2017 23:39
Isis had previously described Donald Trump as 'impulsive and unpredictable'
Isis has mocked Donald Trump, saying in a new recording that the US is "being run by an idiot".
In the audio statement, the group's new spokesman, Abu Hassan al-Muhajer, said America had "drowned" and was ruled by someone who "does not know what Syria or Iraq or Islam is".
It is Isis' first official comment on Mr Trump since the Republican's inauguration in January.
Trump defunding UN's women's health will cause 'millions to suffer'
"America you have drowned and there is no saviour, and you have become prey for the soldiers of the caliphate in every part of the earth, you are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye,' al-Muhajer said
"There is no more evidence than (that) you being run by an idiot who does not know what Syria or Iraq or Islam is.
"Die of spite America, die of spite, a nation where both young and old are racing to die in the name of God will not be defeated."
The comments were made during a 37-minute recording released on the messaging website Telegram.

During the address, al-Muhajer also praised recent terrorist attacks in Europe and called for Isis followers to carry out further attacks in the US, Russia and EU states in order to relieve pressure on the group in Iraq and Syria.
He said the current situation, in which Isis is engaged in heavy fighting with Iraqi troops in Mosul, the group's last stronghold in Iraq, marked "the greatest period in our jihad…and the most dangerous turning point in our jihad".

In 2017, we released an enormous update to the way sellers track their product inventory on Etsy by adding the ability to manage price, quantity, and stock keeping unit (SKU) for variations. This had been one of our top seller feature requests for years. These updates aligned Etsy's inventory tools with the way that sellers thought about and kept track of their products. I was the lead designer.
Sellers use a tool called variations to enumerate all of the options they have for sale of a given product; often, these variations are different sizes, colors, finishes, fabrics, or measurements that the sellers offers. For example, sellers might have one listing for a t-shirt in which the buyer can choose which color (red, blue, yellow) and which size (small, medium, large) they want to purchase. Color and size are the variations.
Variations was initially launched on Etsy in 2012, and while it allowed sellers to easily specify their options, it didn't fully line up with how sellers were keeping track of their items on hand. Sellers couldn't specify the different quantities they had available for each version of their product; in the t-shirt example, a seller might have 2 red smalls, 3 blue mediums, and 0 blue larges, but we didn't give them a way to indicate so. The quantity for the listing was uniform, regardless of variations. In other cases, the price of the item might dramatically change depending on which options a buyer selected (gold costs more than silver, diamond costs more than turquoise), but our tools for pricing variations were limited. While variations is an incredibly useful tool for listing items with different options, it was lacking the robust pricing and quantity tools sellers needed to really represent the items they had for sale.
Sellers were using a number of different workarounds to list their items. Instead of using variations, many sellers would have a listing for each version of their products (one listing for a red t-shirt, one listing for a blue t-shirt, one listing for a yellow t-shirt). This made it harder for buyers to understand the breadth of what a seller offered, and introduced more friction in the buying process. Some sellers would use variations but enter an inflated quantity for the listing, which often led to overselling and a very awkward conversation with a buyer. Other sellers would enter in a very low listing quantity to ensure that they wouldn't oversell, which meant that they often had product sitting on a shelf that they weren't selling.
Updating variations to have price and quantity tools was work that had started and stopped a few times at Etsy due to the sheer complexity; it required numerous back-end changes, coordination with the buyer experience teams, and touched the entire purchasing process. It quickly grew to become our top seller feature request in our regular surveys with sellers, and is a basic ecommerce feature that we were noticeably lacking. So, we entered 2016 deciding to solve the issue once and for all.
We were lucky in that we had done many interviews with sellers about their inventory prior to the kickoff of this project, and had even done extensive usability testing in previous attempts at this work. We felt a deep understanding of the problem to solve, and the challenges were mainly around managing complexity.
We wanted to create a stronger relationship between the price, quantity, and variations fields, so we started by moving them together into a new section of the listing form called "Inventory and pricing". This would be especially helpful as price and quantity were growing in complexity.
Many of our higher volume sellers were already using a SKU system (basically, unique product identifiers) to keep track of their inventory, so this seemed like a good opportunity to add SKU as an optional new field in the inventory section. If sellers used SKUs, we would include them in the order receipt to help the seller identify and find the item in their studio space.
We had seen from previous research around inventory that many sellers track their item quantities in spreadsheets, and thought that served as a good mental model for how to think about the new interface. The existing interface for variations was a very simple table, and we could build on that to add columns for price, quantity, and now SKU as they applied.
There were two components to editing variations in a world with better inventory management: the initial set-up of the variations (entering all of the options), and the management of the prices, quantities, and SKUs of each individual option (such as restocking or making price adjustments). A lot of exploration had been done by previous teams around the initial entry of the variation options, which we were fortunate enough to build on.
The initial setup was done in an overlay on the listing form. Sellers selected which variation type applied to their item (such as color), then listed out each of the options (red, blue, yellow). After entering up to two variation types, they could define whether they wanted to manage prices, quantities, and/or SKUs through variations. When they were done in the overlay, we'd populate a table showing all of the options for their product. From there, the seller would enter the item's prices, quantities, and/or SKUs. This meant that when sellers came back to the form later to update prices or change quantities, the main focus would be on the inventory table. Any edits to the options could happen in the overlay.
Creating the inventory table was going to be fairly complex for a few reasons. First of all, we needed to support legacy variation features at launch without sellers making any adjustments to their listings. We didn't want to make any assumptions about price or quantity on sellers' behalf, so we needed to be able to port a seller's setup from the old to the new variations system without any impact on their listings. This meant that we couldn't assume that every inventory table would be a cross-product of the two variations. The old version of variations supported up to two variations, with an option to have unique pricing on only the first variation. In that scenario, the second variation served more as data collection from buyers, rather than something that affected price.
A huge consideration was that Etsy is a marketplace for unique goods, many of which are made-to-order or customized for the buyer. This meant that we had many different use cases that we needed to support that weren't always going to be as simple as the t-shirt scenario. One example of this is a seller who designs coffee tables. One variation would be the dimensions of the table, and the price of the table and available quantity change based on the size. This seller could also have a variation in which the buyer selects the stain for the coffee table, and the stain is applied after the item is purchased. In this scenario, the stain is a made-to-order feature that has no impact on price or quantity. So, we wouldn't want to create the cross-product of dimensions times stain, since they don't have an effect on one another.
This meant that we had to support both separate inventory tables (one for each variation) or one mega table that was a cross-product of the two variations. It also meant that price and quantity didn't always go hand-in-hand, and we'd want to be flexible enough to support any combination of price and quantity on each variation. In total, there were sixteen different scenarios that we supported for inventory tables.
But how should we let a seller choose what style of table they needed? What was the best way to ask a seller to describe their inventory, and the relationship between their different options, and how they priced their items and managed quantity? To figure this out, we relied heavily on usability testing.
We were pretty stumped on how to ask sellers which of the 16 scenarios their item fit into in a simple and straightforward way. So we put a few really rough ideas out there as a way to get a reaction and to see what kind of vocabulary sellers were using. After entering in their variation options, we'd take them to a second step of the overlay if they had two variations. We tried asking if they needed separate or combined inventory tables as a way to get at the relationship between variations. We tried illustrating items to demonstrate different scenarios, and then tried illustrating different interfaces to demonstrate the impact of their selection.
The questions that we were trying to ask were much too focused on our interface, and not on the item itself. The real thing that determined which table we gave a seller was the relationship of price and quantity to each variation: do prices vary for each color? Do quantities vary for each color? If, say, price is impacted by both variations (such as metal and gemstone), then we create the cross-product so a seller can enter in the unique price for each combination. Ultimately, we decided to add checkboxes to each variation in the overlay with the option to select whether price, quantity, and SKU needed to vary. Based on the selection, we'd generate the appropriate table.
Another challenging part of the interface was how to handle the inventory table on smaller screens. At its most complex, the table could have 7 columns, and a table with cross-products could have hundreds, even thousands of rows. For mobile web, we looked to mobile spreadsheets as a guide for how to handle the table, and decided to side-scroll any overflowing columns. Rather than leave the cells as open inputs, which could be easy to fumble around on a phone, we built them to be tap-to-edit, which also allowed us to tighten up the spacing. On native phones, we offered two ways to edit the data: by "table row" (edit all of the metadata for one option) or by "table column" (edit all of my prices).
Any change to the seller side of listings includes a change to the buyer side of listings. This work meant we had to make some small changes to the way that we were showing buyers available quantity and item prices. We worked closely with our expert buyer experience designers to think through all of the interactions for selecting variation options, communicating prices based on selections, and communicating states like sold out for a given combination of options.
In August 2016 we had end-to-end updates to variations complete, so we invited our first batch of sellers to a closed prototype group to begin testing out the new features. We targeted sellers who were already using variations and even invited sellers who had been requesting these features in the Etsy forums. The prototype group lasted for six months and was incredibly valuable for fixing issues and soliciting feedback. By the time we fully launched in February, we had thousands of sellers participating in the prototype group.
For launch, we targeted in-product marketing at two groups of sellers: existing variations users who would be interested in the enhancements, and sellers with a high number of duplicate listings, who we think would benefit from the new variations tools. We collaborated with our brand design team on photography to use in an in-product tour, social posts, and targeted emails. Rather than show screenshots of the interface, we used photography to talk about the feature in terms of items by showing off items that were similar and could benefit from variations.
I even got to be a hand model for part of the shoot!

Roma shortcomings all too apparent against Atalanta
Date: 17th February 2020 at 9:30am
Written by: Adriano Boin
To say that Roma's push for a top four finish isn't going smoothly in recent weeks would be putting it lightly.
The Giallorossi are winless in their last four Serie A matches, losers of three in a row and as a result, they now sit six points back of Atalanta – the side they fell 2-1 to on Saturday.
A win would have seen the two sides sit level in the standings, but instead Paulo Fonseca's men saw their half-time lead evaporate after the restart as La Dea simply outclassed, outworked and outperformed the capital club.
Edin Dzeko netted to open the scoring and make it 11 goals in 24 Serie A matches this season, but there isn't much coming in the way of support from his teammates. Aleksandar Kolarov and his five goals are next on the list but he was kept on the bench for the match, while Nicolo Zaniolo won't add to his tally of four due to a knee injury that will likely keep him out for the remainder of the season.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has four as well despite several injury problems, but that alone highlights just how low the bar is when it comes to scoring for the Lupi. If Dzeko isn't leading the way, Roma don't have a second option that can consistently come in and help the Bosnian.
That issue is only compounded by their suddenly leaky defence, which has become a major issue. Roma's last clean sheet dates back to December 6, when they managed to snatch a 0-0 draw from their match with Inter at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Since then they've conceded 17 goals in nine matches – nearly an average of two goals against over that stretch.
In short, Roma are on a road to nowhere and fast. The transfer window is closed so no attacking options are coming threw the door until the summer at the earliest. How costly does that failed move for Inter's Matteo Politano look now?
As for defence, who knows what Fonseca will try this Sunday against Lecce.
Will he look to his trusted pairing of Chris Smalling and Gianluca Mancini? Or will he turn to Juan Jesus? Will he bring Kolarov back in? Or Davide Santon?
Either way, a change has to happen if Roma want to get their groove back because if they don't, expect Atalanta to easy away just like they did on Saturday.


One of these off-cases is excel VBA (visual basic applications). Its one of my infrequent languages as it is verbose, so I don't invest in a dedicated development environment. I only wrote a few basic simple scripts with it.
But the microsoft app suite practically runs off this, and excel is very useful for analyzing and working with small datasets. Its portable once you understand how VBA ties into the microsoft suite environment.
Last year, I started using a SaaS relational database management tool called Airtable. I described it to my colleagues as a google spreadsheet 2.0 with RDBMS features like microsoft access built in, all in one slick user friendly interface.
Companies like weWork use airtable to capture their object catalog for constructing their shared office building suites. I use it at work to manage product data and sending purchase orders to China.
I spent 2 months writing a bulk downloader and renaming script in excel VBA for handling this. What it does is take a list of amazonS3 links, download it to a sub folder, and copy over those into a unique primaryKey file names using a windows batch script.
Excel VBA is not my programming language of choice. Its confusing to someone who doesn't frequently develop in that framework or application. It requires you to understand what excel is doing in the background, on top of understanding what VB6 is doing as well. I knew what the end result should be and the steps taken to get there, but it was a painful process.
It was a much deeper process though in figuring out that a window batch process could do this (like 10 questions on stackoverflow…), . It boiled down to is this command, copy "C:\folder\original-s3image" "C:\folder\sub\new-image-names"
If this makes no sense, it probably shouldn't. Its a macro recording of the find/replace method in excel, in 3 seperate statements. I wrote it purely by recording macros, and dumping that output right into my VBA file.
Why would I choose to write it like this when I could've written it in a clean VB6?
The project was small enough / low technical debt – that being sloppily written didn't make a difference, technical debt is very small. Its not like I was going to integrate this codebase into a larger excel VBA suite project.
Results fast – I needed to rapidly prototype and get to an end result. Refactoring can always come later. I compartmentalized all my poorly written code and they are all seperated in a organized manner (Seperating poorly written code VS well written code). Not only that, recording excel macros makes it easier to process out the information (e.g. copying over a column of data into a batch file).
No intentions of collaborating in mind – I had no intentions of collaborating with other users on this project, so something like the below image is irrelevant. Not only that anyone in experienced in VBA could have rewritten easily since I documented what the macro was doing on the my-how-to-use-guide or even the readme.
In summary, this is why I intentionally chose to wrote sloppy, excel VBA code. It wasn't my primary language, writing with macros was less painful, and it worked. All my use cases were met, and it frees up time where I could be focusing on more important things.
Naturally, this goes against a lot of principles that I try to practice. My rule of thumb is to go all out or not at all, in this case, I achieved the bare minimal viable product – a working prototype.
If I wanted to scale up this project, excel VBA would not be the first tool I grab off the shelf. Upon using it is rather complex and/or limited to working in things outside of excel, e.g. downloading image URLs.
If both of these and most of my cases outlined above are met, If the end user is happy and there is no demand/integration for new features, then sloppy code suffices. In the mean time, sloppy code should be ideally be minimalized and /or compartmentalized with good commenting conventions so its easy to refactor.
There are some cases where calling into the Win32 API is appropriate, but in most cases, especially for standard stuff like HTTP GET, you should be using COM (ActiveX) libraries. In this case, you want WinHttp.WinHttpRequest from the Microsoft WinHTTP Services library (winhttpcom.dll).
VBA is ugly,but it's not hard to keep your code clean. You can have OO with Classes, and inheritance via Interfaces.
I haven't really delved into too deep int Win32 API, .NET, or COM(ActiceX) libraries. It just seemed like a huge learning curve at the time of writing it. I also didn't want to delve too deep into VBA's programming nuances. My experience with a C# or C++ environment is pretty much nonexistent, which would have helped immensely implementing OO language practices and usage of libraries.

Naraŭljanský rajón (bělorusky Нараўлянскі раён, ukrajinsky Наровлянський район, rusky Наровлянский район) je územně-správní jednotkou na jihu Homelské oblasti v Bělorusku. Administrativním centrem rajónu je město Naroŭlja (bělorusky Нароўля, rusky Наровля).

Administrativní členění
Od roku 2009 má Naraŭljanský rajón 4 selsověty:
 Věrbavický selsovět (Вербавіцкі с/с)
 Haloŭčycký selsovět (Галоўчыцкі с/с)
 Kiraŭský selsovět (Кіраўскі с/с)
 Naraŭljanský selsovět (Нараўлянскі с/с)

Zrušeny byly 2 selsověty:
 Krasnoŭský selsovět (Красноўскі с/с)
 Zavajcjanský selsovět (Завайцянскі с/с)

Geografie
Rozloha rajónu je necelých 1590 km², z toho 53% jsou lesy. Hlavními řekami jsou Pripjať a její přítoky Naroŭljanka, Mytva, Slovečna a Žaloň. Nachází se zde i mnoho jezer. Rajón se nachází v pásmu pravého břehu dolního toku Pripjatě.

Naprostá většina rajónu se nachází v zóně Pripjaťského koryta, na jižním svahu ukrajinského štítu. Celkem 85% území se nachází v nadmořské výšce 120 až 140 metrů, 8% v nadmořské výšce od 140 do 160 metrů a 7% v nadmořské výšce od 100 do 110 metr.

Symantec responded to a potential vulnerability identified in the SMTP binding function of the entry-level Symantec Gateway Security appliances with the ISP load-balancing capabilities. In certain firmware versions, the SMTP (outbound email) traffic would be load-balanced regardless of the user-configured WAN binding selection. This could result in SMTP traffic intended only for a trusted network potentially being passed over an untrusted connection instead.
Symantec was notified of this potential vulnerability in a Symantec Gateway Security 360 appliance configured to load-balance two ISPs with SMTP binding set for a single WAN. The SMTP binding configuration was not being implemented as selected causing SMTP traffic to be load-balanced through both WAN1 and WAN2. This could result in a potential vulnerability if a trusted network was selected for SMTP binding through one WAN and an untrusted network connected to the other WAN. SMTP traffic bound to the trusted network could potentially be passed over both the trusted and untrusted WANs (load-balanced).
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) initiative has assigned CVE Candidate CAN-2005-0618 to this issue.
Symantec confirmed the potential vulnerability and determined that the issue was also present in the Symantec Gateway Security 460, Symantec Firewall/VPN Appliance 200, and the legacy Nexland Pro800turbo models that also provide load-balancing capabilities.
Symantec recommends customers using SMTP binding in load-balanced configurations apply the appropriate firmware for their affected product models/versions to remedy this issue.
Product specific firmware and hotfixes are available via the Symantec Enterprise Support site at http://www.symantec.com/techsupp.
Symantec appreciates the actions of Arthur Hagen, Broomstick Net Services, in identifying this issue, notifying Symantec and providing extensive cooperation and coordination while Symantec resolved the issue.

Home Nabi The racism that goes unchallenged
The racism that goes unchallenged
A few weeks ago, while I was busy trying to get through the deluge of calls, something caught my eye on the ever-expanding GP call-back list. It was a patient requesting a female GP, but specifically not me or my colleague, who also happened to be South Asian.
I was a bit baffled as I had no history with this patient or her family, and neither did my colleague. I suspected we may have been excluded because of our race, so it was agreed that any future requests declining specific GPs were to be explored by the reception team. Last week, a similar incident occurred, but far more blatant.
When the patient was asked if she wanted to speak to a particular GP, she said she didn't mind as long as it wasn't an Asian doctor because 'they are all useless'. Needless to say, this behaviour will be addressed by my practice manager.
Both patients had a South Asian background…This was not white privilege, but a common prejudice that is rarely discussed
But the small detail I have omitted is this: both patients were from a South Asian background themselves. This was not white privilege at work, but a common prejudice that is rarely discussed. I'm sure a race campaigner would tell me this is not the fault of minority patients because they have been brainwashed to believe in the superiority of the British Empire in the Indian subcontinent – that white doctors are far better than native ones.
A woke society will also demand that religious and cultural identity must be preserved at all times, including bending the dress code rules for school and employment.
Thankfully, this sentiment was not prolific in 1979 when I started high school, so my father's request for me to wear trousers to school was denied. In all these situations where we try to maintain cultural sensitivities, no one bothers to find out what the individual involved thinks.
I did not wish to wear trousers and be the odd one out at school, and neither did I want to be married off to my cousin. I was desperate for the law to protect me from these things, but all I could see was the transition from being controlled by my family to being controlled by the well-meaning liberals, trying to create a utopia of multiculturalism.
Ignoring wrongs inside BAME communities has led to years of female genital mutilation
This narrative of ignoring any wrongs inside BAME communities has led to the many years of female genital mutilation (FGM) in young girls, with no custodial consequences. I could add male circumcision and ear piercing to that list of abuses, but I will not go there.
You may ask yourself, how did we get from a BAME patient's racist comment to FGM? The commonality they share is that there is a history of both practices going unchallenged.
Thankfully, FGM has now been recognised as a serious safeguarding issue. But interestingly, despite all the raised awareness during the #BlackLivesMatter movement, I have not heard any meaningful discussions about the appalling racism within BAME communities.
Unless we address this, we cannot achieve the desired change. And I will be left utterly demoralised about the assertion I am useless, despite working my butt off.

Racist patients are often not as blatant as the two you have mentioned. More insidious are the racists who are wise enough not to declare it. I have often wondered how many formal complaints etc are made, not necessarily for completely groundless reasons but where a white counterpart might have simply been grumbled about instead.

Q: PHP variables don't evaluate in the query I am pretty new to PHP and MySQL and I just can't figure this one out. I have searched all around the forum but haven't found an answer I can make sense of. I originally was using mysql_fetch_assoc() but I could only search numbers and I received errors when searching for letters as well. I hope I am on the right track here. Thank you in advance for all your help!
$con = mysqli_connect($hostname,$username,$password) or die ("<script language='javascript'>alert('Unable to connect to database')</script>");
mysqli_select_db($con, $dbname);

if (isset($_GET['part'])){
    $partid = $_GET['part'];
    $sql = 'SELECT *
        FROM $usertable
        WHERE PartNumber = $partid';

    $result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
    $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);

    $partnumber = $partid;
    $nsn = $row["NSN"];
    $description = $row["Description"];
    $quantity = $row["Quantity"];
    $condition = $row["Conditio"];
}

A: This happens when your result is not a result (but a "false" instead).
You should change your code to this
$sql = 'SELECT *
    FROM usertable
    WHERE PartNumber = ?';

$stmt = $con->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param("s", $partid);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);

because you shouldn't add data variables in the SQL directly, but use placeholders instead. Given a placeholder cannot be used for a table name, it is generally a bad idea to make it a variable, so just write it as is.

A: You are single quoting your SQL statement which is making the variables text instead of variables.
$sql = "SELECT *
    FROM $usertable
    WHERE PartNumber = $partid";

A: mysqli_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given

This means that the first parameter you passed is a boolean (true or false).
The first parameter is $result, and it is false because there is a syntax error in the query.
" ... WHERE PartNumber = $partid';"

You should never directly include a request variable in a SQL query, else the users are able to inject SQL in your queries. (See SQL injection.)
You should escape the variable:
" ... WHERE PartNumber = '" . mysqli_escape_string($conn,$partid) . "';"

Or better, use Prepared Statements.

A: Mysqli makes use of object oriented programming. Try using this approach instead:
function dbCon() {
        if($mysqli = new mysqli('$hostname','$username','$password','$databasename')) return $mysqli; else return false;
}

if(!dbCon())
exit("<script language='javascript'>alert('Unable to connect to database')</script>");
else $con=dbCon();

if (isset($_GET['part'])){
    $partid = $_GET['part'];
    $sql = "SELECT *
        FROM $usertable
        WHERE PartNumber = $partid";

    $result=$con->query($sql_query);
    $row = $result->fetch_assoc();

    $partnumber = $partid;
    $nsn = $row["NSN"];
    $description = $row["Description"];
    $quantity = $row["Quantity"];
    $condition = $row["Conditio"];
}

Let me know if you have any questions, I could not test this code so you might need to tripple check it!

A: What happens in your code if $usertable is not a valid table or doesn't include a column PartNumber or part is not a number.
You must escape $partid and also read the document for mysql_fetch_assoc() because it can return a boolean

German National Team and International Soccer
Why the idea of Thomas Muller is so important
By Fergus25 on May 23, 2019, 12:57am CEST 33
 Tweet Share on Twitter Share Share on Facebook Pin Pinterest 33 Comments ⋆ Rec Recommend this Post 2
First of all, this article is not entirely about Thomas Muller's play style, his stats, what he does for the team etc.... This will be covered however the true purpose of the post is about the symbol he is, how he embodies Mia San Mia and the idea (not the player) of 'Thomas Muller'.
Play style, on field performance and recognition
He isn't particularly extraordinary in most aspects of the beautiful game, be it dribbling, shooting, passing (underrated but not world class), running (some have described his technique as akin to Giraffe's) and defending.
Although, there is 1 thing he excels at. Finding space. Muller has built a reputation on his ability to exploit space. This has been used to great effect over the years for Bayern and Germany. Many articles written by the great writers on BFW have described his impact, with Bayern scoring a whopping 34% extra goals when Muller is on the field as opposed to when he's off the turf. He's led Bayern in assists in 4/6 of the past seasons!
It's fitting that he's such a unique player given his normality in the everyday world. He's created his own position the 'raumdeuteur' or 'space investigator'. This has been adopted by the likes of Jose Callejon (A wide forward/winger for Napoli, who makes runs to draw out and confuse defense. Players like Allan and Insigne try to find these runs, but also benefit from the added space as a result of them)and Deli Alli (who plays for Tottenham as a SS and like Callejon makes runs which draw out defenders. His physical ability is significant as he can score headers and bully the opposition)
Muller plays by drifting in between spaces and constantly making runs. These runs are effective as they provide extra space for teammates, while also adding a passing option into a dangerous scenario. Thus when Muller is in the side, the players around him improve.
Many observers don't understand Muller and what he does. Those observers say he's grossly overrated (Around the 'pool game, a fox sports commentator described Muller's absence as a "blessing in disguise", I was outraged by this as Muller was the biggest reason we didn't show attacking intent across the 2 legs) due to his unique style. Pep Guardiola has described Muller as losing the ball the most in the Bayern team and contributing least to the buildup yet still being a "prestigiously talented footballer".
This lack of recognition he recieves is partly due to the fact that there are no metrics that can truly quantify Muller's performance in a game. Unlike a Messi or Ronaldo, Muller's game isn't fully shown through goals and assists. Although respectable with 1 goal/assist every 130 minutes in all competitions (much higher than i.e Pogba who without penalties averages a goal every 240 minutes in all competitions and some people think he's had a great season...and Pogba makes the players around him worse...) these 'goal involvement' stats don't show the full picture. How much space and the quality of space created etc... cannot be measured.
Even when Muller finished 5th and 6th consecutively in the Ballon D'or (Some people judge players by this...), he was never given the respect he deserved or mentioned in the same breath as players at similar rankings. Thierry Henry has said "I don't understand why Thomas Muller is not there" when talking about the Ballon D'or top 3.
Although Muller has had a relatively unprolific season, he is arguably even more important than he ever was to the Bayern side. His deeper position and lack of luck has contributed to this.
Muller will probably never gain the full respect he deserves, but he is a genius on the field with a skillset and play style, the world will never see again...
What Muller represents
Thomas Muller is statistically the most common name in Germany, he represents the ultimate average guy. The John Smith of Germany. Muller has a regular haircut, a lanky frame, yet this is a top level professional footballer. He gives the typical person the ability to dream, as anything is possible if 'Thomas Muller' is a world class player.
He lacks the pretentiousness of modern footballers and this is shown through his unique answers in interviews (saying hi to his grandparents at his first world cup on live tv), whereas many other footballers just give the same old, generic response. Unlike many players, the average Joe can relate to Muller, and T.Henry has called Muller 'Football's greatest role model'
In addition, he is indicative of the ultimate team player. Under the dark Carlo days when Muller was finding goals hard to come by, a moment which captured his selflessness was setting up his team mate (Alaba) for a goal, when he could have easily scored. He puts the team in front of himself, unlike Lewandowski (for example) and his famous 'scowl' when players don't pass to him. Muller always looks for the pass before the shot, sometimes to his detriment.
What Muller is to the fans
Simply put, Bayern Munich fans adore Thomas Muller. He is a voice of the people and 'just another fan' (albeit one that plays for the team). His connection with the fans has been shown when leading chants with the loud speaker after winning the Bl and is so strong because he is one of them. When Bayern annually draw the random fanclubs in November which will get visited by players and staff, the most desired person is always Muller.
When Bayern received a world record transfer offer from Manchester United for Muller in 2015, they didn't even think of accepting it. German analyst Raf Honigstein (who often works for ESPN and covers the topic of Germany football and Bayern Munich) speculated there would be riots in the streets of Munich, if Muller was sold. He grew up in Bavaria and could probably stake a claim as the state's favourite son. Such is the admiration for Muller. His never give up attitude and relentless running is glorious. He leads the press and inspires the fans to cheer louder for the team.
Fans can relate to his grounded personality, unlike many players he doesn't care for slick haircuts, tattoos or fast cars. And, the fact he came through the clubs youth academy further endears him to the fans . However, he pays close attention to charity work, especially as a representative of a charity that helps children after the loss of a loved one.
We are who we are, the moto of Bayern Munich. Muller is the living embodiment of Bayern's values. This was shown when Muller, responding to a reporters question about there being pressure to adopt a more 'football like' universal look said, "even if there would be pressure, I would be able to withstand it" and "I try not to pretend to be something i'm not", literally the definition of Mia San Mia. He stays true to his roots and we love him for this!
As a local boy who grew up watching games at the Olympiastadion he knows what it means to be at Bayern and his one club status (very irregular in the modern game) is a testament to his Mia San Mia values. It's so important for Muller to be in the squad as it teaches other players at Bayern, to embody the Bayern values, to be true to their selves, to never give up (one thing the 'workhorse' would never do) and to have a laugh doing it. Muller is like Ronaldinho, always smiling and gracious to be in the position he finds himself.
This idea of a 'Thomas Muller' is so crucial because of everything listed above. He is the face of Bayern Munich. He stands for Bayern Munich. He lives by Bayern Munich. He plays for Bayern Munich wearing the badge proudly on his vest.
We salute you Thomas! Mia San Mia

Most Americans believe they possess an immaterial soul that will survive the death of the body. In sharp contrast, the current scientific consensus rejects the traditional soul, although this conclusion is rarely discussed publicly. In this book, a cognitive scientist breaks the taboo and explains why modern science leads to this controversial conclusion. In doing so, the book reveals the truly astonishing scope and power of scientific inquiry, drawing on ideas from biology, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and the physical sciences.
Julien Musolino is a Franco-American cognitive scientist and an Associate Professor at Rutgers University where he directs the Psycholinguistics Laboratory and holds a dual appointment in the Department of Psychology and the internationally renowned Center for Cognitive Science. He is the author of over 30 scientific articles and his research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
"The bestseller list is crowded with books—some by naifs, others by charlatans—which announce that the existence of ghosts is a scientific fact and the key to a meaningful life. Thank goodness for The Soul Fallacy. With patience, good nature, and relentless rationality, Julien Musolino shows that we humans are a part of the natural world and subject to its comprehensible laws. Even better, he shows that this triumph over superstition and hocus-pocus is a cause for celebration, not despair."

Cavalera Conspiracy: Inflikted
Inflikted marks the reunion of Max & Igor Cavalera, brothers and founding members of the legendary Sepultura. While Max left that band years ago to form Soulfly, reunion rumors have been flying around the last few years, but instead of Max going back to Sepultura, the two have found common ground here with Cavalera Conspiracy, along with guitarist Marc Rizzo (Soulfly/Il Nino) and bassist Joe Duplantier (Gojira). As you can imagine, the music is not all that different from what you would expect from either Seputura or Soulfly, as you get a mix if thrash, death metal, and hardcore, with plenty of ethnic Brazilian influences thrown in for good measure. Those traits come into full force on the excellent "Dark Age", especially through Igor's drum work, as this heavy thumper has plenty of Portuguese flavor to go along with the thrashing metal. Max's vocal's throughout are spot on and savage, while Rizzo lays down a wide assortment of crunchy riffs and fleet fingered solos, which should please fans of his shredding solo releases. Surprising is the manic "Hex", a blistering piece combining speed-of-light thrash/hardcore elements that might be the fastest and most brutal song anyone from this band has ever recorded, and is a great segue to a song that shows up later in the CD called "Nevertrust". This one features plenty of sick sweep picking from Rizzo and Igor's turbulent drum blasts, as well as some lethal vocal shards from Max. It's as if the brothers are trying to prove something throughout Inflikted, and if so, it works, as this CD has a lot to offer to both old school Sepultura fans as well as lovers of modern metal. It will be interesting to see where they take this.

December 6, 2013 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Here's why.
Had a roomate in college who once went two semesters without ever changing his sheets. Not even once. At the end of the year when we were packing up to head home, he finally stripped off his top sheet and… the collection of hair and dead skin cells at the foot of his bed was puke-worthy. Most of us are operating with a comb that's been cleaned or changed as often as those sheets… A cheap, dime-store piece of junk that certainly gets the job done (ahem, top of the post), but… c'mon. Somewhere The Fonz weeps every time one of us uses one of those things. Time for an upgrade for you, or, the guy with a lush head of hair in your life. The folding comb is great for traveling, since the teeth are secured away from the rest of the stuff in your dopp kit.
So you're not into the wet shaving thing. Plenty of us aren't. But we still either A. Shave every day, or B. Keep a Mach 3 or something like it on hand to clean up our neck area from time to time. This combines the looks of something more traditional, with the cartridge razors many of us are used to. The option seen here is from Etsy, but you can get something more commercially available in Ox Horn or a simple metal .
Yep. Fifteen bucks for a bar of soap. And yes this counts as a tool. For the bar-soap kinda guy, this is a good "extra" bar to have on hand. For those days when you get doing whatever it is you do, and you feel like you need to be power washed instead of standing in the shower for 15 minutes. Oat bran, oat kernel, and pumice scrubs away and rinses clear off. The kind of soap you can feel working. Smells great. More overe here at Electrogent. Hat tip to them for the photo.
For the dude who's channeling his inner Reverend Willy G, and is still very much a Sharp Dressed Man. Beards need care too. Handmade in Oregon.
I miss my folding comb that used to spring out of a fake switchblade.
I keep meaning to try that Wild Man beard stuff. Anyone got experience with it?
I definitely advocate for Double Edge razors. The blades are dirt cheap. Some of the finest DE blades available are available for as little as $12 for a hundres. I find them to give a much closer shave than any multi-blade cartridge, they don't clog like the cartridges. Since they are inexpensive I don't have to try to nurse the maximum number of shaves out of each blade. Most of them are good for 3-4 shaves, some are good for 6 or 7 shaves. So you can buy a years worth of shaves (3 shaves per blade for 300 days) supply for half the cost of a 4-pack of most any cartridge. On top of that, Double Edge razors, both vintage and new, are some of the most lovely grooming tools available.
Hat tip to you, Joe, for acknowledging those of us who shave with cartridges. I really want to be a wet shaver, and like the concept of wet shaving: nostalgia, cool tools, cost savings, etc. But I simply cannot get a good shave that way. I have very patiently tried different DE razors, many different blades, as well as a few different straight razors, and just can't get the hang of it. I've been to all of the forums like Badger & Blade, I've watched countless YouTube videos, I've tried to be consistent with the instructions to use light touch and focus on beard reduction, etc. Inevitably, I end up with multiple nicks and cuts, an uncomfortable shave, or a less than smooth shave – or worse, all three at once. I've resigned myself to using the Schick Hydro 3 cartridge, because it always gives me an amazing, close shave with three passes and no irritation.
I understand these are "upgrades", and gifts, but I don't think I could ever willing spend some of the prices on these for what they are, and I am hardly frugal. $15 for soap is a bit ridiculous. I have trouble when I spend $7 for a bar of pine tar soap, and I love that stuff. The beard stuff is a waste too. Just use regular shampoo/conditioner and get a $15 bottle of raw jojoba extract from any health food store and rub some of that in after a shower. The comb and the razor handle are overkill, but at least they won't wash down the drain.
Weren't the teeth on those combs reeeaaaallly tiny/short, especially at the tip of the *blade*? Trying to remember without googling images or just simply clicking the amazon link.
On a side note regarding shaving with a cartridge razor (and probably others as well): Make sure to dry the blades when you're finished shaving – this will extend the life of the blade(s) exponentially. Well, maybe not that much, but it sounds cool saying it.
Seriously, dry them – pat them on a towel, then let them air dry even more completely from that before putting that plastic guard back on or dropping them into the drawer/cabinet/etc. Something to do with oxidizing, moisture, dulling, humma-humma… it just works!
I have used it for about a year and it's great. Highly recommend.
People still use combs? I don't think I've even seen one since about middle school.
Funny how the exact same thing costs twice as much through HS.
I've always thought it was easier and looked better (more textured) to style my hair by hand than with any kind of brush or comb.
I tried to get on board with the safety razor once. I became disillusioned, though, when I had to "make due" with a two-blade, disposable razor at one point and ended up with a better shave than I'd gotten after several months of using a safety razor.
Am I the only one who thinks the fancy Mach 3 handles from the article look really awkward with the small plastic cartridge? There is something off about the proportions to my eye. There do seem to be some sleeker options on Amazon though. If I used cartridges, I might just stick with the stock plastic handle anyway, for the sake of consistent materials.
No nose hair trimmer with an ox horn handle or a horsemen leather case…do I smell a business opportunity?
If you can put them in a container of mineral oil when you're done, even better. I've had razors last months that way.
I had a Kent comb for about two months before it snapped in half. My super cheap Ace comb has been doing the job for about six months now.

No Matter How Many Times the Evidence Is Proven False, The Narrative Remains
February 3, 2017 by V the K
There's this Narrative, y'see. The Narrative is that "Donald Trump's presidency is encouraging racist, alt-right, white nationalists to commit hate crimes against Muslims and people of color."
So when a story comes along that fits The Narrative, it's immediately published/broadcast. ("Too good to check.") Like this one.
On Monday, news outlets across Wisconsin – and the nation – posted the story that "two Beloit students in residence halls were targets of hate crimes."
Beloit College officials first reported that an anti-Semitic note was placed under a student's door last Friday. Early Monday morning, an anti-Muslim threat was found spray-painted on another student's residence hall door, and a swastika on a nearby wall.
Beloit security reportedly discovered the words, "Die," "Sand nigger go home," and #Muslimban in red paint on the student's door on the second floor of the college's Bushnell Hall.
And then it turns out to be fake. There's a brief "correction" and then they go on to publicize the next fake hate crime that fits The Narrative.
"A Beloit College student admitted fabricating an incident in which a swastika, anti-Muslim and ethnic and racial slurs were spray-painted on a dorm room door and a nearby wall."
The only violent hate crimes are happening on the left, e.g. Berkeley, CA

I've noticed that in the absence of 2nd rate Dem leadership talking points that their civilians are either creating 4th rate talking points or indulging in 5th rate sabotage. Which result in counterproductive incidents, easily debunked. Their violent tactics are cartwheeling stupidities meant to cause fear. Except that no one is scared unless they're stupid enough to be in proximity to the rabble. I would say Soros & CAIR are spending a lot of money creating an atmosphere that they think represents "Trump's America". But they're preaching to the choir. What a waste of cash when it could be better spent on celebrity red carpet buffets. They're not making their people happy. The frontal charge has happened & the archers are done. What's next, an orchestrated move by the Blacklivesmatter dupes?
Yet real news about moslems never makes it onto lamestream media.

Where did Steve's insulting comment go
I didn't click on the link, but what type of site is the Independent Sentinel?
Craig Smith says
Posts that directly attack another poster get removed. You can insult, you can ridicule, you cannot attack.
February 4, 2017 at 7:34 am - February 4, 2017
That's a good question, Rusty. I remember Steve using the term "ni66er" in comment #2 (or deleted comment #3). I think I have it exactly as he typed it. It seems to have disappeared without any explanation (rather than kept in public and used an example, it's swept under the rug; I think this has happened at least once before earlier in 2016 when Steve used another derogatory term–my memory is fuzzy).
What I loved about Helio's comment is that he called Steve out. Love to see that more here. Helio took that turd in the punch bowl and poured it right over Steve's head.
Steve didn't actually directly attack another poster. He made an off-colour comment that was beyond the pale.
Pawfurbehr says
Shame on Steve if he did that. Cray, stop trolling and creating drama.
I'm just relaying facts. Do you have a problem with that?

Al-Cray-da never met a Muslim he didn't feel inclined to be subservient to. Even though said Muslim would be the first to throw him off the side of a building.
*Drops mic*

February 10, 2017 at 10:01 pm - February 10, 2017
"11.Al-Cray-da never met a Muslim he didn't feel inclined to be subservient to. Even though said Muslim would be the first to throw him off the side of a building."
On the bright side, he could sing (or at least hum) "I'll Tumble For Ya" on the way down.

Left: "I prefer to die standing than living on my knees," explained Charlie Hebdo editor Stéphane Charbonnier. He was killed on January 7. Right: The no-nonsense mayor of Rotterdam has earned praise for his colorful remarks about Islamists.
In the wake of the Paris bloodshed, Rotterdam's mayor had harsh words for Muslims who live in the West but fail to adopt Western values. "If you don't like freedom, for heaven's sake pack your bags and leave," he declared during a TV appearance. "If you do not like it here because some humorists you don't like are making a newspaper, may I then say you can f**k off. … Vanish from the Netherlands if you cannot find your place here." A member of Geert Wilders' party? No, the mayor is Ahmed Aboutaleb, a Labour politician and a Muslim. He later repeated his comments at a mosque service.
Left: In a decision often distorted by Islamists, a federal judge ruled that the U.S. government had "ample evidence" linking CAIR to Hamas. Right: Britain "welcomes diversity, but this should not mean adopting legal practices that are hostile to our values," the London Telegraph editorialized in March 2014. The Law Society has finally paid attention.


CED has a clear vision: we protect and safeguard things that are valuable to you.

Another Blizzcon has happened, and another World of Warcraft expansion has been announced. Recent expansions have focused on defeating external threats, but Battle for Azeroth aims to reignite the classic conflict between the Alliance and Horde. Only this time, it feels a little more… balanced. I'll admit, I did cheer slightly when I realised Lordaeron was finally being taken back from the Forsaken.
Anyhow, the Anaheim convention also saw plenty of announcements about the expansion. Although, the focus was less on the story, and more about the technical details and content implementation. I could see the impact it had on other players, left deflated without having a big bad menace to rally the flag against. Instead, this feels more as if it's the start of an intricate tale of personal conflict and malicious intrigue, in a way that's best left shrouded for now.
Even so, I was satisfied with the WoW expansion information available, and with the Blizzcon Virtual Ticket (which I'll come back to in a separate post). Some of it gets a thumbs up, while others I'm undecided on or will wait-and-see once beta rolls around. For now, however, here's my initial take on the main topics we heard about.
Kul Tiras – we'll finally be able to visit the Corsairs, and understand what makes their navy particularly powerful. I'm loving the beaten copper roofs and overall aesthetic, plus there's the opportunity for more piratical adventures. I'm also hoping for mage-shaped shenanigans, as it's Jaina Proudmoore's hometown.
Zandalar – Zul Gurub was one of my favourite raids back in Vanilla WoW, but that mainly because of the lore and story more than the twisting layout. That love returned in Northrend's Zul'Drak, and I'm severely tempted to roll hordeside just to experience it.
Allied Races – instead of introducing new options at launch, these are being added in a very neat way. We unlock each new race by completing a story that brings them into the Alliance or Horde, making them available as a character choice for new alts or rerolls. I also love that they start at level 20 with their own backstory, and have a Heritage Armour reward if we level them to cap.
New Levelling Approach – The new expansion zones can be completed in any order (within reason – see below), and will scale in the same way as Legion's zones do now. Even better, all the legacy content is getting a revamp: Azeroth zones will fall into bands, Northern and Outland will both cover levels 60-80, and so on. Creating alts will get a whole lot better.
6 New Character Slots – which will be fantastic for using on those new allied races, especially with the alt levelling experience getting a complete makeover.
Island Expeditions – I'm hugely interested in this concept. 3-player scenarios (similar to Legion), but with randomised elements to keep them fresh. Four difficulty settings, including a PvP option, and advanced NPC AI that have a whole bunch of new tactics.
Communities – cross-server groups that are tied to an individual character (no cross-faction groups), but work a little like guilds except we can join more than one. Battle.net groups are also being added for those close-friends, and will work cross-faction. I'm looking forward to both as a neat way of expanding my social circles beyond a collection of chat channels.
Azerite – Instead of trying to heal our dying planet, we're going to eat the blood that seeps from its wounds, and use the power to fight our enemies. Great, right?
Conflict – Sylvannas acts like a badass, while Anduin looks and behaves like a boy-band reject wearing his dad's armour. I aim hoping that, for Mages at least, that we can ignore the usual brouhaha and instead look at Jaina's story.
Teldrassil Bonfire – it might be a corrupted world tree, but it's ours. Also, there's still no sign of fixing Gnomeregan, which I'm still salty about.
Warfronts – This is another thing lifted form legion, but it's more about 20-player PvE content. I like the idea of battling on the frontlines, but I'd like to see it in action before I give it a thumbs-up.
Class Buffs – On the one hand, this was something I miss from older WoW. But, on the other, I get worried that there'll be buff min-maxing for mythic etc. Will classes with weaker buffs get benched?
Battle.net Voice – knowing how much I dislike voice comms in general, I can see this quickly going on perma-mute. While I can understand the benefit of using it to explain tactics and coach newcomers, I'd personally rather watch a YouTube video or read a guide.
Zone Plans – 3 zones will be used for levelling (Kul Tiras for Allaiance, Zandalar for Horde), while another 3 will be predominantly for endgame (opposing faction zones). I'm in two minds about this – on the one hand, it acknowledges the amount of playtime spent at cap. But, on the other, I'm concerned that fatigue might start creeping in.
Heart of Azeroth – Having a non-visible gear slot that gradually gets powered up sounds like a neat idea, but I'd like to see how it works in practice. I wasn't a fan of Artefact Power, particularly in how it created a disproportional handicap to the levelling experience depending on which class you played. I'll be reserving judgement on how this plays out.
Stat Squish and iLevel Changes – As with the Heart of Azeroth, I'll wait and see how this plays out. In my experience, non-healing cloth casters tend to be hit the hardest, losing their offensive potency and gaining no survivability. Again, I'll see how this shapes up in beta.
World PvP – I can understand this change. Pick how you want to flag while in a city, then go out and meet likeminded folk in the open world. If you don't like world PvP, you can change the rules set without changing server. And, if you love world PvP, you might end up in a virtual desert. For me, I'll have to wait to see how it's actually used, but I understand the concerns.
Story – The clue's in the title: World of Warcraft. There's been plenty of defeating the monster of the week/patch, but there's been little conflict between the factions. I'm curious to see how it all plays out, but I can also understand that the lore team want to keep things close to their chests for now. Personally, I hope that the Kirin Tor become a bit more independent from the factions after holding the light for so long, possibly a bit more shadowy, and give mages some more complex role-play in the future.
That's it from me, but how about you? What are you excited for in Battle for Azeroth, and what left you feeling uncertain? Sound off in the comments!

I hate living in a secular world. It involves pretending that we live in a world without God. Religion becomes a personal thing without repercussions in everyday life. In this "real" secular world, God can exist, but not effectively act.
Such a perception of God is, of course, false. I would hate to imagine what the world would look like if we were left to run it alone. Even in our secular world, God works in unseen ways. In addition, we would be surprised if we were to see the effects of our own role in praying for God's action.
I was thinking about this recently after receiving many e-mails from friends and readers who were commenting on the difficulties of living in our secular world. So many think they are alone in having recourse to God since it is not officially recognized by secular society. However, we should always be aware that so many people do have recourse to God and their prayers are answered. I was impressed by how these friends prayed and confided in God even in unlikely places. God truly acts in this world in astonishing ways. We should not underestimate the efficacy of prayers in our daily lives.
There was an e-mail from Linda, for example. If there is a place where God supposedly does not act, it would be aboard the hi-tech world of aviation. Aboard the modern jetliner, there is no religious symbol or reminder of God visible to passengers. Everything exudes optimism and efficiency. Everything is humanly calculated to avoid disaster.
If we fly with relative safety, I suspect it is not because of Homeland Security but because there are many Lindas out there praying for God's protection from natural disasters and evildoers while we fly. We really have no idea of how much good is done by such prayers and how many dangers are avoided.
Indeed, I was very touched by being included in these intentions. One can indeed "feel" the power of this prayer. If our efforts yield any results, I have no doubt it is because there are many Sister Ritas out there who pray for those who fight the good fight; she helps secure God's aid for us.
If America survives today, it is because there are so many praying in jetliners and in the more than one thousand perpetual adoration chapels nationwide. Much more is accomplished in the silence of the night before Our Lord than in so many boardrooms and legislatures.
God does not abandon us even though we may not recognize His action among us. That is the great tragedy of secularism. The material world only presents part of the reality of our lives. By pretending God does not act in society, we deprive ourselves of the enormous power of prayers that can help resolve our problems. We deprive God of His just honor and praise and fail to ask His blessing upon us.
If there is to be a return to order, we need to stop pretending.

Carlo Brioschi (* 24. Juni 1826 in Mailand; † 12. November 1895 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Theatermaler.

Leben und Werk

Carlo Giovanni Aristide Brioschi war der Sohn des Theatermalers Giuseppe Brioschi († in Wien 1856) und Vater seiner Söhne Othmar Brioschi (1854–1912) und Anton Brioschi (1855–1920). 1853 wirkte er in Paris. Von 1856 bis 1886 war er Nachfolger seines Vaters als Vorstand des Malerateliers der Wiener Hofoper. Er war Schüler von Leopold Kupelwieser, Thomas Ender und Franz Steinfeld (1787–1868) an der Wiener Akademie.

Zusammen mit Johann Kautsky und Hermann Burghart gründete Carlo Brioschi das Gemeinschaftsunternehmen "Brioschi, Burghart und Kautsky, k.u.k. Hoftheatermaler in Wien", indem neben Dutzenden von Arbeitern wie Tischler, Schlosser, Mechaniker und Sachbearbeiter auch zahlreiche Maler wie Georg Janny, Konrad Petrides, Leopold Rothaug, Ferdinand Brunner und Alfons Mucha tätig waren. Das Atelier erhielt Aufträge im In- und Ausland und belieferte u. a. Häuser in Deutschland, Tschechien, England und Amerika (Metropolitan Opera). Das Atelier war unter anderem für die Bühnenbilder der Wiener Erstaufführung von Tristan und Isolde verantwortlich.

Fianna Fáil Seanad Spokesperson for Children and Youth Affairs, Lorraine Clifford-Lee has said that the importance of the HPV immunisation vaccination has never been more apparent.
The Senator was commenting as details of the Cervical Smear scandal continued to emerge.
The HPV vaccine protects against the strains of HPV that cause over 70% of all cervical cancers, the second most common cancer in this country among females aged 15 to 44.
Senator Clifford-Lee commented, "The distressing and traumatic revelations which have emerged in the short time since Vicky Phelan's high court action concluded, have terrified women across Ireland.
"This controversy underscores and reminds us of the importance and effectiveness of this vaccine for young girls and women. There are thousands of teenage girls in post-primary schools across Ireland, who are yet to be vaccinated and who should receive it in the coming weeks.
"It is also my strong view that the vaccine should be extended to young boys and I will continue to make the case for the extension of this service following our support for a recent motion on the issue. " concluded Senator Clifford-Lee.

School Spotlight: Elm Creek Elementary
4:54 PM | Thursday, May 24, 2018
Elm Creek Elementary is an award-winning community school which serves about 520 children in Maple Grove. Teachers and staff create an environment of opportunity and encouragement.
The Osseo School District school is a one of eight schools to receive recognition as a 2017-2018 Minnesota School of Excellence. We were there when the school was given its official plaque. Students jumped up and down and cheered at Principal Beth Ness accepted the award. "I'm very proud of my school and the award comes from the strengths of the community, our families, our students," said Ness.
The school won the award for improving in areas like technology, parent volunteers and providing opportunities for students through partnership with local businesses and organizations.
Excelling in the classroom
"The Osseo Lions and Maple Grove Lions gave us some grant money and we did something called the Eagle's Roost," explained Ness. The Eagle's roost is a place for students to unwind and calm down.
When it comes to academics, more than half the students are meeting or exceeding state standards in math and reading. The school also has several programs to help students who are developmentally and cognitively delayed, to succeed. "We have resource teachers who work with students with specific learning disabilities and autism," said Ness. "We also have speech therapy, occupational therapy and a motor room."
Opportunities for all
There are opportunities for all students. Elm Creek TV, also known as ECTV, allows students to shine in front of and behind the camera.
Meanwhile, the student council–holds events to bring classmates together. They do activities like "Wacky Friday," where students dress up in crazy clothes.
Many students participate in the Kindness Club. The group teaches compassion and empathy. The student recently made this kindness tree, with message of thanks.
Students also like to give back. They've held food drives, and gave out hats and mittens. They also made blankets. "We do the Project Linus and we make tie blankets. We do the Ronald McDonald and collect pop tabs for families in need who need to stay with their kids," explained student Lauren Alexander.
Cultivating a culture of creativity and high academic standards are what make Elm Creek elementary a top school.
