… The soondubu at Vit Goel ToFu (4121 Chatelain Rd.; Annandale; 703-333-3436) arrives looking like something out of the witches' scene in Macbeth, a tiny black cauldron in the midst of a boil so roiling, it's actually sputtering.
When it settles down, finally, you crack the raw egg that's brought out with the dish into the bowl, letting the hot, red pepper broth, teeming with cubes of soft, custardy tofu, cook the egg. What happens next is one of the fascinations of eating soondubu, a process that asserts the primacy of texture in eating — in this case, soft, gelatinous texture — and delivers a culinary illusion so good, the kitchen at Citronelle would be envious. The egg takes on the consistency of the tofu in the bowl, which was, to begin with, the consistency of a soft boiled egg.
It's magic in a bowl, in both senses of the word. There's nothing else I'd rather eat on a cold, gray day than one of Vit Goel's meal-in-a-bowl tofu soups.
Soondubu is the focus of this L-shaped, blond-wooded soup parlor, housed inside what looks like an abandoned elementary school; you access it by traveling the length of a corridor full of boutiques and prying open a wooden door. The dining room lacks style and drama, perhaps, but it does convey a remarkable sense of serenity, as if eating a good, restorative bowl of soup really is akin to an act of meditation; even the keening Korean pop on the sound system does nothing to dispel this feeling of having wandered into an oasis of calm and order. Fittingly, the service is the antithesis of pushy; you have to flag your waitress — they're all women — down to get a beer, and you may find yourself with your hand up in the air for a while, like a frustrated taxi-hailer in the midst of morning traffic in Manhattan.
The menu is small, by the standards of most Korean restaurants, with their casseroles and barbecues and seafood pancakes: Eight varieties of soondubu, plus excellent Korean short ribs (thinly sliced, sweetly glazed, dusted with sesame seeds and served on a pile of sauteed onions on a cast iron skillet), tasty bulgogi, and a couple of stir fries. Every order, of course, comes with an assortment of panchan; I love the spicy bread-and-butter pickles, and the kimchi is as good as it gets, firm and fresh and full of pungency and heat.
I have reservations at Obelisk and am wondering if you have heard any new updates/reviews on this place. Does it still maintain the quality and service it used to offer in its prime days? Should I try to snag to Restaurant Eve instead?
It's still a cozy, comfy place — to my mind, one of the best dining rooms in all the city — with terrific, smart service (every restaurant should have a staff so good) and a kitchen that strives to put the focus on the quality of its ingredients.
My wish is that the antipasti that begins every meal here, were the meal itself. Great, great stuff. Antipasti, a good glass of wine, and I'd be thrilled.
Hi Todd, Do you know of an restaurants that serve Iraqi cuisine? Thanks.
I don't. I wish I did.
You've got me reminiscing … There was a place that I wrote about a few years ago, out in Herndon, called Zuhair's Cafe, that was terrific. I was a big fan.
The place closed a while ago, unfortunately.
The food, though served on plastic plates and with plastic knives and forks, was great. First-rate kabobs, excellent braised lamb shank, and, best of all — kibbeh mosul. That's the name of the Iraqi dish that resembles a cross between a quesadilla and an Armenian meat pie. It comprises layers of crushed bulgur, stuffed within which was a mix of ground sirloin, cinnamon, and raisin paste. Done right, the thing is so aromatic, so evocative, as to summon comparisons with a Moroccan tagine.
The owner had bragged to me about his chef hire — a chef with a big reputation back home, a man he had wooed and bargained with for weeks, eventually agreeing to pay for his apartment.
What do I think about it? I think it stinks.
My advice, if you're not ordering wine, is to order sparkling water. I think it sends a signal: Here is a serious diner, a discriminating diner. Better yet, ask which kinds of sparkling water they have.
And sparkling water — even if it's being pushed these days with all the aggressiveness of a street corner hustler — is a very good foil for rich foods. Those bubbles'll clean your palate and good, just the way a good, well-chosen wine would.
In general, asking questions about the menu — informed questions, preferably — is a way of signaling that you're someone who knows and is comfortable with the fine (or finer) dining experience. And someone who is comfortable with the fine dining experience is going to be more likely to tip well.
My wife and I RARELY get to go out for a nice dinner.. With our schedules and two children, it's a BIG event when we go out.. I had the pleasure of going to Westend Bistro with a client shortly after it opened.. Everything we ate was superb… A highlight was the salted caramel pudding that finished the dessert… More importantly, it had EVERYTHING that my wife looks for in a dessert.. I was excited to take her about 2 weeks ago. We had a very good dinner and when we got to the dessert course, we both agreed on the salted caramel pudding. (No small feat since we NEVER get the same thing off of a menu). When our waitress came back, we placed our dessert order only to have her tell us that she forgot to mention that it had been taken off the menu! (It was still on the print version of the menu). She said that it had been replaced by a "much more refined" chocolate mousse. We decided to just split the mousse.. Unfortunately, it was one of the clumsier attempts at chocolate mousse I've ever seen.. Hard as a rock, WAY too big a portion and richer than Paris Hilton.. (and even less likebale, believe it or not). In the weeks since we've eaten there, I read a writeup on Westend in Gourmet magazine and specifically mentioned the salted caramel pudding and Washingtonian's own writeup in the 100 Best spoke highly of the dessert… All this leads up to the question of whether or not a restaurant would ever put this back on the menu? Or why would they take something off that seems to be getting praise from several sources?
Why do places take menu items off? Because they can. Or because the chef wants to show that he (or she, but most always a he) is not limited to doing just these few items. Or because it would appear (or so the restaurants think) that the media is enamored of places that stay fresh and alive, not merely repeating themselves with the same old, same old.
It could be, and in this case I think it is, that the restaurant is reworking its recipe and will return a version of the dish at a later time, when it's happier with the result.
((By the way, chatters … I think RGGOD is on to something special here with his identifier. I'd really like to see the rest of you follow his lead, and come up with something interesting to put into the "location" field.
Good morning, Todd, We decided to check out a few of your recommendations last week. First, we went to the Muffin Man Caribbean Cafe in Lanham. It was a mixed bag for us– but we loved the food! My jerk shrimp roti was really, really nice, spicy, tangy, and the quality of the huge shrimp was as good as you can get. The roti was light and fluffy and flavorful, perfect for sopping up the jerk gravy. I would have been entirely happy had it not been for the cheap, flimsy plastic fork which made eating hard, and the thin styrofoam box it came in. For a lunch entree I think $16.00 is really steep– and it should at least come on a plate with a proper knife and fork. So, we probably won't be back unless they can improve the eating-in experience. We also went to Nava Thai on Friday– a big hit for us and our friends (all of us have spent a lot of time in Thailand as well). We ordered all sorts of things from the menu, and all of them were a big hit. The drunken noodles, eggplant with basil, pad thai, and roast chicken were the biggest hits, while the hot and sour shrimp app and the panang curry were merely good. Spicy food, crunchy veggies, and lots of flavor. They were, however, slammed, with one woman running the whole packed room. She managed pretty well, but we finally went up and filled our own water glasses, and she felt badly. But she smiled, and brought us over a warm (!) sticky rice and pineapple dessert on the house. I can't believe I am admitting this, but we actually went back again on Saturday night again and had another great experience. Interestingly, it was very quiet on Sat night, when Friday had been crazy busy. Funny story? They were out of tea (hot or cold) even though they are next to a grocery store (which was open!). As far as I have experienced, this might be the best Thai food in the area, with friendly service to match– you just want to see these people thrive. Thanks again for helping us to eat well!
Thanks for reporting back, Cheverly.
I think Nava Thai's pretty special. Which isn't to say that everything there is a home run — but you can collect a lot of doubles and some triples, too, in addition to going yard with the pad thai, the grilled chicken with sticky rice, the Floating Market Soup, and the pork in panang curry.
As for Muffin Man, you know, maybe it's me, but I didn't even think twice about eating out of a styrofoam box. To me, good food is good food.
I also think it helps to remember that most Caribbean restaurants in the area are largely take-out operations. Styrofoam and plastic's the norm. When I go out for Caribbean food, I'm not generally zeroing in on cutlery; I'm looking for sharpness (good amounts of vinegar in the jerk, for instance) and pungency and complexity in the spicing (not just a blanket heat). Muffin Man delivers on those counts.
Yeah, it's not really all that cheap; but those shrimp are massive (and cooked correctly), and the quality is certainly there.
This is regarding the posting where you discredited the concierge profession and recommended that the guest request either a quiet table at Kinkead's of a table at the smaller Obelisk. You recommended those restaurants on the busy Saturday of restaurant week. Talk about creating false hopes by offering carrots that are virtually impossible.. To paraphrase a famous/infamous Washingtonian " You recommend the restaurant scene you get, not the one you wish you had."
Here we go again. Back to the concierge thing.
I'm going to guess that you, yourself, are a concierge? I could be wrong, of course, but you do, after all, make it a point to bring up my comments about the work of concierges.
A little background, for the rest of you: The concierge community is up in arms over something I wrote in this space a couple of weeks ago, about the fact that, when I'm traveling, I don't tend to put a lot of store by their restaurant recommendations.
By their recommendations for sights? Sure. For tourist attractions? Why not. For shows? Wonderful.
But restaurants? No. Why? Because I believe them to be, in most instances, mouthpieces. I believe that the restaurants with the biggest publicity machines, the biggest campaigns to woo the concierges, tend to get the most mentions.
I have seen excellent concierges, concierges who really know their city and can offer up a good restaurant that is off the beaten track, or a restaurant that flies under the radar. But most are geared to serving the business class, and their recommendations tend to reflect that sensibility — even if the seeker of information isn't a member of business class.
Me, in most instances, I'd sooner consult an alternative weekly or a restaurant critic or a cabbie.
Good Morning: Love the conversations…Have been a lurker for quite a while. Looking for a nice restaurant that serves down-home southern food in Maryland that is NOT Hogs on the Hill–I am so tired of that place! Any suggestions?
If this were radio, you'd say: "Long-time listener, first-time caller."
The place I'm going to steer you to is a place I wrote about a few weeks back, called KBQ, in Bowie. The space isn't down-home by any stretch — it looks like a chain, actually — but don't let that put you off. Good brisket, good ribs — all the meats are smoked, and smoked slowly — molassey beans, homemade cornbread, and excellent hot country sausage. Oh, and a cheapie slice of Key lime pie for dessert.
Any recommendations for for a place with a trendy/chic vibe for a hot date I am planning? Think NYC or South Beach. I have been to Oya and like it but wanted to branch out. Thanks.
The Source — I think you'd prefer the downstairs lounge — and Westend Bistro, both with food that's miles better than what you ate at Oya.
A group of 4 twenty-somethings looking for a good Tuesday night dinner spot in the Georgetown/Glover Park area…Do you know of any spots with good Tuesday night specials? Dinner and/or wine? We can't make it to a restaurant until about 7:30, and two diners aren't in to much ethnic food. Thanks!!!
By "specials," I'm guessing you're not up for paying a premium for dinner.
That area's tough, because there's not a lot that's in the in-between slot, that is, in between Citronelle and King George. Not a lot that's good, I mean.
You could give Ceviche a shot; it's in the space that used to be the original Austin Grill. Fun spot, although the kitchen is off to a somewhat shakier start than expected. There's also Leopold's Kafe + Konditorei, which is pretty consistent, with interesting, better-than-you-think food for a place that has such a preening, presumptuous air. Both places also have wine lists.
Finally, there's always Martin's Tavern, for a bowl of oyster stew, a juicy burger and a relaxed and comfy vibe.
Hi Todd, I went to Timpano on the Rockville Pike last week for dinner with two other colleagues. I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. We had one salmon special and two seafood pasta entrees. The pasta was homemade and really quite good. The shrimp was not overcooked at all, although the they were smaller and not as plentiful as I would have liked. I would have to say that my biggest complaint was the service. There were a lot of servers, at least three people were involved with taking our order. After we were served, however, they all seemed to disappear. I practically had to get up and flag someone down to refill a glass of water. It's quite strange that they could have so many servers on the floor and we still felt that we couldn't get any attention.
By the way, and this is not to question you, but rather the wording on the menu — I seriously doubt that that pasta was homemade, if by homemade we mean made on the premises. More than likely, it's a fresh pasta that Timpano bought and either rolled out and boiled or just boiled.
Even plucky independents, the kind of small places where you'd assume everything was made by hand, often don't make their own pastas. Just a heads up.
One more heads up: Those shrimp? I'd lay down good money that they're frozen. Most shrimp at that level is. Even a cut or two above. In fact, these days, unless you see the heads on those suckers when they hit the table, I'd assume that you're getting frozen.
So is the new Sushi Ko ever going to open??
So they still say. I guess the question to ask at this point is: What year?
I'm hearing that they're having staffing problems — as in, there don't seem to be enough good, qualified people to fill a dining room of that size.
Hi Todd, Do you know a good place to get dessert and drinks in the city. A cute place, not too fancy. Looking for a place to go after Valentine's dinner. Thanks.
You know, the place I think I'd go myself is Bistro d'Oc, across from Ford's Theater. Very cozy, great atmosphere (the vermillion-colored walls really do set the mood), the prices aren't bad, and you can dig into the classics like profiteroles and creme brulee.
Interesting trickle-down theory. Let's hope you're right.
As I said last week, I really do think that chefs and restaurants could do more to "build up the culture" by not merely bringing in local produce and being market-conscious, but by rooting themselves and their menus in the actual culture of the city.
That means bringing an Ethiopian influence or two to a fine dining menu. It means playing with the flavors of a bowl of pho, and finding a way to translate those tastes into a Western style dish. It means recognizing that Maryland cuisine — or Chesapeake cuisine — is part of the culinary heritage of this area, and that crab imperial and Norfolk seafood platters should be reinvented for a new age. It means getting out of the kitchen to see that kabobs and pupusas are all the rage in Maryland and Virginia, and that these snacks are great and worthy vehicles for upmarket experimentation (so long as the experimentation is not TOO upmarket). It means making half-smokes, in one way or another, as much a staple dish as crabcakes are. Etc., etc.
It means connecting the dots, is what it means — dispensing with a generic cosmopolitanism and looking for legitimate ways to unite fine dining and ethnic dining, upmarket and no-market, elegance and street food.
Westend Bistro's inclusion of an Eastern Market salad on its menu is the right idea — but it's mostly gestural, not substantive. Eastern Market isn't the sort of place we go to for greens and salad-makings; it's not Greenmarket, in Manhattan.
I'd love to see menus that go well beyond this attempt, and really strive to reflect the foodways of this city and region, while still staying modern and innovative.
Anyhoo … I'm off to lunch.

By Jörg Heiser and Pablo Larios
Manifesta 11
Various venues, Zurich, Switzerland
Pablo Larios The title of this year's Manifesta, curated by artist Christian Jankowski, promised a theme that was concise, transparent and topical – a question seemingly everyone could relate to: 'What People Do For Money'. But by that same standard of popular appeal, I've spoken to no one who found the exhibition successful. Where did it go wrong?
Jörg Heiser It may have gone wrong halfway through preparation. The initial idea – to ask artists to chose a partner in the city of Zurich based on a list of 1000 different professions – was as you say, concise and topical, and based on Jankowski's prior artistic work. For example in 2008 he made the brilliant project Dienstbesprechung (Staff Meeting) at Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, which involved asking the entire staff to swap roles for the duration of the project – the house technician suddenly became the head curator and so on. At one point it even involved a staff survey asking whether they would be willing to also swap their respective income for the period. Though the idea was turned down it was brought up in an interesting and even edgy way, questioning how professions and money relate across usual social divides.
Georgia Sagri, Documentary of Behavioural Currencies, 2016, installation view
PL Social divides could have been productively bridged, or further distanced, by Jankowski's proposed 'joint venture' between artists and non-artists. Instead we saw a series of missed opportunities for meaningful comment. Zurich is a mind-bogglingly rich city with conspicuous social divides – though where finance and art literally stand in close proximity. At the Löwenbräu complex, Torbjørn Rødland's photographs were sold at a commercial gallery just across the hall from their presentation at the Manifesta exhibition. This city could have been the ideal setting to address proximity or divisions between industries. Jankowski says in his curatorial statement that the 'investment banker has … become a paradigmatic profession for our era': an intriguing point, but one he hardly refines within the exhibition.
JH Not so, sadly. There are two factors upon which Jankowski presumably had little or no influence that prevented artists from truly engaging such underlying structures. First, Manifesta's definition as a travelling biennial has increasingly fallen short of its self-declared task to critically reflect upon a transitional post-1989 Europe while creating a sense of transnational development and unity – after the previous St. Petersburg instalment little of that initial impulse had been left. Secondly, as you've pointed out Zurich is one of the wealthiest and most expensive cities in the world. In such a place it is rather difficult, if not impossible, to challenge the unspoken rules connected to affluence, class, and national identity unless you chose an openly confrontational course. Jankowski has a lot of experience in charming and twisting his way into an institutional framework to get a productive work out of it, but being up against both the tired bureaucracy of Manifesta and the efficient stubbornness of Zurich was perhaps too much.
PL Nevertheless the question 'What People Do For Money', when posed intelligently, could open up questions about creative labour and the freelance economy, not to mention precarity and migration. These are key issues: today, art has a fraught relationship to its publics and often finds itself caught between populist exhibition-making and insular, professionalized and inward-looking 'art publics'. (Telling are Pablo Helguera's funny-ish New Yorker-style cartoons comprised of art world in-jokes, which spoke only to the educated and privileged viewer.) Further to art and professionalization, we're witnessing the rise of the mediagenic artist: careerist, articulate and highly 'employable' within a project economy of exhibitions such as this. And finally, our neoliberal age promises to make us all 'artists' but chains us to constant streams of self-expression and customized filter bubbles. What a great wealth of themes! But were any of these addressed? Hardly. Instead, the texts introducing each exhibition section posed platitudes such as 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' and 'Jobs can be decisive in shaping our identities'– bromides that turn a well-meaning, potentially topical exhibition concept into a watered-down, feel-good and ultimately harmful exercise at polite ecumenicalism: everyone is special, to each his own task. In this context, these were the messages of the August Sander photographs in the exhibition's unimaginative, cramped 'historical' section. The more divisive Jankowski intriguingly wrote in his statement that he saw himself as a 'guest worker' – but were such underlying political realities ever exposed?
JH One of the more glaring examples of things going wrong is Documentary of Behavioural Currencies (2016) by Georgia Sagri, who interacted with Josephin Varnholt, a banker at private Swiss bank Julius Bär. They set up a kind of cute favela veranda at Löwenbräuhaus that was mirrored by an identical structure at the bank, to which one was only given access on a very limited basis. Inside the small veranda-like structure, a 10-minute video documented the artist's efforts to communicate non-verbally with Varnholt by splitting open a book or busting a dance move. Sagri's work felt belittling vis-à-vis the reality of the financial industry in the wake of tax evasion scandals such as the Panama papers. Not that the answer would've been to interrogate Varnholt about the dealings of the bank, which probably would've been to no avail. But instead, presenting this choreography of 'poetic' interactions turned the work into an uninteresting encounter between 'individuals' as if the professions were actually just arbitrary and their task was to deflect from what they are really about.
PL Throughout the exhibition, and true to Jankowski's art more generally, there were attempts to consider whether communication across disciplines, contexts and occupations is even possible when people are motivated by varying interests. At times this was too literal and spoke down to the viewer, such as when Ceal Floyer's work Romance (2016) set up booths for the simultaneous translation of an English text into German and Italian. Snooze. I preferred Leigh Ledare's work in which he collaborated with a therapist to create group psychology sessions comprising 21 Zurich citizens of different backgrounds, ages and occupations. This set up a fruitful documentation of communicative misfire – showing precisely how people do not or do not want to communicate when asked to do so – while also attempting to reckon with the demography of Zurich.
Ceal Floyer, Romance, 2016, installation view
JH Although Ledare's work was also one of the numerous examples where the split between main venue and 'satellite' in the city made the latter seem like a mere superfluous leftover. I spent 40 minutes back and forth on the tram to find a soundless monitor in an art school cafeteria – a half-assed version of his 'actual' project at Helmhaus, one of the two main venues.
PL Teresa Margolles's project with a transgender escort and masseuse Poker de Damas (2016), was a work of moving, rare impact in the exhibition: a wall ripped open by Margolles's collaborator, Sonja Victoria Vera Bohorquez, and a video in which a group of sex workers speak about their friends' lives, including a violent murder and imprisonment. For me, this was a moment of solid value in an exhibition that was too often filled with flippant schtick and cartoonish gimmicks.
JH Other than Margolles's work, which I agree was very moving and powerful, my favourite piece was the most aggressively sculptural – Mike Bouchet's The Zurich Load (2016). The work consists of the entire city's defecatory output on 24 March 2016 as received by the local sewage treatment plant, dried and cut into 80 tonnes of minimalist blocks. Presented on the top floor of Migros Museum, the stench of ammonia wasn't bearable for more than a few minutes. Bouchet not only gave the city an unwanted present of its own making but also engaged its entire population and very practically interacted with sewage professionals. And for once, transferring the result of such a professional interaction developed an undeniable presence (hats off to Migros staff for suffering through the ordeal), rather than remaining a mere 'representation' of something that had taken place elsewhere.
PL The old equation of gold and shit still takes the cake.

The process for Vacate and Abandonment of Right-of-Way Easements and/or alleys, located within the unincorporated area of Seminole County or County rights-of-way, requires review by Planning & Development Staff, public notice and approval from the Board of County Commissioners at an advertised Public Hearing.
Per FS 336.09 and FS 336.10, Right-of-Way and/or alley vacate requests are required to have a scheduled public hearing, and require two legal notice advertisements in the newspaper. The completed application must be accompanied by a site plan or survey/sketch of description of the vacate area and the application fee. In addition, a Right-of-Way and/or alley vacate request must include letters of approval/disapproval from all utility companies that service the subject area.
The amount of time required for processing a request for Vacate and Abandonment depends on the type of request, timely submittal of required documents, and scheduling of the public hearing with respect to established scheduling procedures. That time may vary depending on the information received and the completeness of your application.
If the request is approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the proof of advertisements, along with the Resolution adopted by the Board and any associated documents, is recorded in the public records. Upon the Planning & Development Division staff recording the documents, the applicant shall be provided a certified copy, thereby completing the Vacate and Abandonment process.


You know when you're a little kid and you don't want to go to bed, so you make up pretty much any reason so that you can stay up with your parents? Yeah, that's what two of the OutDaughtered quints did on the night of Thursday, Oct. 4. Only it turns out for one of them, her belly button troubles may have been more than just her imagination. And after dad Adam Busby took to his Instagram story to share the funny joke about how Ava was complaining that her "belly button hurts," things took a turn for the worst. Watch the video above to see what happened next — and Adam's relatable AF reaction — and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
Yeah, we're pretty much on the same page just watching that Instagram story! Luckily, we've got a little extra distance from the issue. Now, we're just hoping that everything turned out okay for Ava and that she just had an upset stomach rather than actually falling ill. The Busby daughter seemed just fine the other day when the whole fam hit the grocery store to pick up some much-needed provisions, but with little kids, those sicknesses can come on quickly.
Though Adam has a sensitive nose, we have to imagine that he's also got plenty of experience when it comes to cleaning up messes and dealing with pretty gross stuff. After all, he's the dad of six daughters, five of whom are quints, so it's not like he hasn't changed his fair share of dirty diapers. We bet he's a certified expert when it comes to things like "pooplosions" as Audrey Roloff calls them.
Lately, the Little People, Big World star has seemed to be bogged down with all kinds of baby blow outs. Now that we know that she and Danielle Busby are actually friends IRL, maybe the TLC parents can exchange tips for the best way to handle things — and catch them in their tracks before they get out of hand. (Or should we say out of diaper?) Either way, we bet between the Roloff family and the Busbys, they've got good solutions to pretty much any parenting problem you can think of. Now, if only they were experts on how to not sympathy puke while cleaning up after your little kids. That would be valuable info.

Q: Show that $(\mathcal{M},d)$ is complete metric space Let $(\Bbb{R},\mathcal{M},\mu)$ be the Lebesgue measure space modulo the equivalence relation $A\sim B$ if $\mu(A\bigtriangleup B)=0$. Let $d(A,B)=\mu(A\bigtriangleup B)$.
Show that $(\mathcal{M},d)$ is complete metric space.
I could show that $d$ is a metric on the equivalence classes but how can I show that this metric is complete?

A: Note that $d(A,B) = \| 1_A-1_B\|_1$, so we can use properties of $L^1(\mathbb{R})$ to show completeness.
As Michael noted in the comments above, one needs to be careful with infinities.
Suppose we have a $d$-Cauchy sequence of sets $A_n$. Without loss of generality
we can presume that
$d(A_n,A_1) < 1$ for all $n$.
Let $f_n = 1_{A_n} - 1_{A_1}$. We have $f_n \in L^1(\mathbb{R})$ for all $n$
and $f_n$ is Cauchy. Since $L^1(\mathbb{R})$ is complete, we know that there
is some $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R})$ such that $f_n \to f$ (in the $\|\cdot\|_1$ norm, of course).
The only issue remaining is to 'extract' a set $A$ such that $f(x) = 1_A(x)- 1_{A_1}$ ae. $[\mu]$.
A standard result (see https://math.stackexchange.com/a/716328/27978, for example) is that if $f_n \to f$ in $L^1(\mathbb{R})$, then there is a
subsequence such that $f_{n_k}(x) \to f(x)$ ae. $[\mu]$. We note that
$f_n(x) \in \{-1,0,+1\}$ for all $n$, hence we have
$f(x) \in \{-1,0,+1\}$ ae. $[\mu]$. Let $N= f^{-1}(\{-1\})$, $Z= f^{-1}(\{0\})$ and $P= f^{-1}(\{+1\})$ and let $A = (Z \cap A_1) \cup P$, then
it is easy to check that $f(x) = 1_A(x) - 1_{A_1}(x)$ ae. $[\mu]$ and
$d(A,A_n) \to 0$. (Measurability follows from the fact that $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R})$.)

A: You need to appeal to the definition of completeness. Suppose you are given a Cauchy sequence of sets $A_n$. That is, for any $\epsilon > 0$ one can find a sufficiently large $N$ for which $m,n \geq N$ implies $\mu(A_{n} \bigtriangleup A_{m}) < \epsilon$. We would like to show that a limit set $A_{\infty}$ exists, and is measurable.
Here is a hint: Given a sequence of measurable sets $A_n$, there are a number of different sets one can associate to it, all of which are measurable. One example is the union $\bigcup A_n$, but there are others. Consider these.

I attended a fellowship with my SFC brothers yesterday and for me it was really fun. We had great time and I really missed the company and the warmth. I haven't been with them for such a time since my work prevented me to do so, but the fellowship really gave me something to ponder on and this is why I have a new post for my blog. You can call it reflection or something like that. I know all I need is an inspiration and time to write. So, the time that thoughts came through my being this afternoon, I hurriedly stopped everything I was doing and typed what my mind and heart said about the topic yesterday. It was all about evangelization. It was all about how can we spread the good things God has taught us. The topic was amazing and the speakers were great. But it struck me more than what its main objective convey. And here it goes.
I firmly agree that the best way to evangelize others is through ourselves. If we make ourselves worthy of emulation to others, then we can move people. I am not saying that you have to be a hero or sort of but being a person to others just simply means you do what is viewed and accepted to be God-centered. Just like what my Tatay Jay has said, to which I quote and added some words, "you need not to be Biblically or Qur'an-lly functional, that whatever is being written in the Bible or Qur'an, you follow." Bible and Qur'an are not books of rules; they are books of guidance. If you start following what is there, you'll end up silly. The Holy Books don't tell us to read and follow, they tell us to READ, UNDERSTAND and LIVE with the thought. They are like a path that will guide you on your way as you deal life. That is why until now, I am not moved by those people who get on the bus in bus terminals and start reading the Bible without making themselves worthy of reading it. The worst is, after reading it, they start asking you for some donations; giving you little envelopes where you can put on a penny or more.
Many of us have expressed their interest of making this world a better place by showing selfless love to others, but we have failed to forget that it is not the main thing. Many of us have asked to topple the tyrants in our governments but we failed to topple the tyrants from ourselves. Many of us have asked for a revolution and it has repeated multitude of times in our history but we haven't revolutionized ourselves. I still can remember the play of words saying, 'the heart of the revolution is the revolution of the heart'. Many of us have said that others are not good but we have forgotten that, the times that we have said so, we did exactly the same. Some have killed people because they committed murder but these people forgot to remember that they, who killed these people, are also murderers. We ask others to be honest, but we too are liars. We ask others to share blessings, but we too are stingy. We ask our friends to love their parents, but we too don't love ours. We ask people to be a part of our religion but we too don't know what our religion is all about. We cannot teach what we do not know. We cannot give what we do not have. We cannot ask what we do not deserve. We can't evangelize if we are not worthy of doing so. We can't let people believe on something they can't even see on us.
These words may be too vague and I don't think I have the credibility to say so, because who am I by the way? But I know, and I say it with deep impression, that we have people around the globe who have been recognized as heroes of the present days. And I always really bow down to these mortals for their immeasurable kindness and love. They are the true evangelists who did not read the Bible or Qur'an in front of others, but they made these Holy Books in motion. They are the ones who did not ask for people to have a revolution against others, but they are the ones who fervently made themselves a weapon for revolution—a revolution without harm and force, without shouting and yelling, without casting judgments to others, without prejudice and discrimination, without money and gold, without everything, but JUST THEMSELVES-their love and passion to evangelize what it is to be a follower of God, to evangelize the words that must be heard, and the deeds that must be followed.
Do I sound like a priest or a sheikh? I guess not. Because I, myself, am guilty of what I write. I don't even know anything about the Bible or Qur'an. I am even one of those who ask people to be good but I, myself, have not been good to others. But I may say, I am not bad, I am just JUST. I know I am aware of my actions, and I am trying to live up with the expectations of myself. I don't want to see differences because I don't want to compare. Comparing means bragging and comparing means pulling others down. I just follow what my heart says and what my conscience reminds me. I am a victim of my tongue but I am really trying hard to tame it. I am a slave of my emotions and I am also trying, and trying hard to control it. I am an underdog of my mind but I am trying hard to weigh things. I really am trying hard to make things well and right. And I know, what I have tried isn't enough. But I am happy that even it is not enough, at least, I have started. Is this a revolution? Maybe. And I hope I will win.

A: O problema é que o AJAX não suporte enviar arquivos com o serialize, e é necessário especificar o content type e o process data para falso.
tente o seguinte:
$('.formulario').submit(function() {
  var formData = new FormData($(this));
  $.ajax({
     url: 'enviar.php',
     type: 'POST',
     cache: false,
     contentType: false,
     processData: false,
    data: formData,
    success: function(valor) {
      $('.resp').html(valor);
    },
    beforeSend: function() {
      $('.resp').html('

    }
  });
return false;

Rubber sharks, impossible plots, lots of blood… All things we love about terrible shark movies. Nikko and I venture into deep waters of bad shark movies.
Flop House 2: "Ghost Shark"
April 26, 2015 admin blog, Nicko, Recap, Shark Movies 00:45:32 Comments Off on Flop House 2: "Ghost Shark"
Nicko finally gets me to watch "Ghost Shark." Spoiler alert: It's spoiled. A shark dies in a mysterious cave and that make him a ghost. He can pass through anything as long as it water. You know, puddles, hoses, drool. But the can still eat you.
Watch below. But not while driving, you might fall asleep at the wheel.
On this show: Nicko and I talk about her new book, she mentions I'm Jewish, shitty co-workers, Nicko's viral video, her shirtless boyfriend washing dishes, men who play with toys, how to rip off other shows, my cat makes an appearance and of course, Nicko refers to me being Jewish.
*Relax, listen to the show to figure it out.
Fred Stoller star of "Blood Lake"
May 25, 2014 admin Interview, Podcast, Recap, Shark Movies 0:44:43 Comments Off on Fred Stoller star of "Blood Lake"
Ok, technically "Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys" is not a shark movie…But it's made by the Sharknado people. And it's a cool interview with Fred Stoller – You know this guy from the show… he's that guy. Fred Stoller has been cast as the comic relief on sitcoms and movies for over 20 years. I was lucky enough to interview Fred at his home about his interesting career.
Fred discusses writing on "Seinfeld," why Kathy Griffin wanted to punch after sex, returning to stand up after 17 years and guest starring in tons of TV shows and movies. Fred has played "Fred" on shows from "Everybody Loves Raymond" to "Wings." We also talk about the film he wrote and stars in, Fred & Vinnie." It started as a real tragic event, became a short story and now a full length movie.

"Open Water" actress Blanchard Ryan talks about what it was like to swim with actual hungry sharks for a movie about swimming with hungry sharks. No CGI here. Just two actors, bloody chum and scary sharks. The tiny non-union movie became a huge hit at Sundance and Ryan's life is changed. Blanchard talks about her life changing from a working actress to a struggling movie star and back to a working actress. Ryan and I discuss her getting hit on by Paul Servino on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," being banned from Leno for choosing Conan and watching her nude scene with her parents.
Jaws 4, Nicko 0
August 16, 2011 admin Nicko, Podcast, Recap, Shark Movies 2 Comments
Nicko & Adam review "Jaws the Revenge." It's a story of a shark who is out to kill the family that killed his dear old dad. It's like "Kill Bill," but with sunscreen and terrible Jamaican accents. Oh and it's a shark, not a person. Michael Caine phones it in, Mario Van Peebles forgets what movie he's in and there's a fair amount of terrible kid acting.

John Barrowman in "Shark Attack 3: Megalodon!"
June 1, 2011 admin Nicko, Podcast, Recap, Shark Movies 1 Comment
This movie contains the worst movie line ever. "Shark Attack 3:Megalodon" is regarded as one of the best/worst movies. It's star, John Barrowman is not only a working actor, but well known in England and soon to host "Sing Your Face Off" on ABC. The guy who said the worst line in film, ever, is now famous? He was even on "Touchwood" and the "Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special?"
This can't be true. For the whole story we went to our British Bad Film Friend, Nicko. Nicko was so moved by this film when she saw it, she and partner Joe co-founded the Bad Film Club.

Miombo é a palavra suaíli para Brachystegia, um género de árvore que inclui um grande número de espécies. A floresta de miombo é classificada nos biomas: pastagens tropicais e subtropicais, savanas e moitas (na designação do World Wildlife Fund). O bioma inclui quatro bioregiões caracterizadas pela presença predominante de espécies de miombo, com uma variedade de climas de húmido a semiárido, tropical e subtropical, ou mesmo temperado.

O miombo
O nome miombo é usado em numerosas línguas Bantu na região, tais como xona e bemba. Em Bemba, a palavra "miombo" é o plural da palavra "muombo", que é o nome específico para a espécie Brachystegia longifolia.

Caracteristicamente as árvores perdem as suas folhas por um curto período, na estação seca, para reduzir a perda hídrica e produzir um novo fluxo de folhas pouco antes do início da estação das chuvas, mascarando com cores ricas de dourados e vermelhos o espaço envolvente, criando uma reminiscência de um Outono de cores temperadas.

Bioregiões arborizadas de miombo
As matas de miombo formam um vasto cinturão sul-central em toda a África, que vai de Angola a oeste, até à Tanzânia ao leste. Estas florestas são dominadas por árvores da subfamília Caesalpinioideae, particularmente miombo (Brachystegia), Julbernardia e Isoberlinia, que raramente são encontradas fora das matas de miombo.

As quatro Bioregiões são:

 Matas angolanas de miombo (Angola).
 Matas de miombo da Zambézia central (Angola, Burundi, República Democrática do Congo, Maláui, Tanzânia, Zâmbia).
 Matas orientais de Miombo (Moçambique, Tanzânia).
 Matas meridionais de Miombo (Maláui, Moçambique, sul da Zâmbia, Zimbábue).

Pessoas
Estas florestas de miombo são também importantes para a subsistência de muitas populações rurais que dependem dos recursos disponibilizados pela floresta. A grande variedade de espécies fornece produtos não-madeireiros, tais como frutas, mel, forragem para o gado e lenha.

Flora e fauna
Apesar de um solo relativamente pobres em nutrientes, estação seca prolongada e baixa precipitação em algumas áreas, a floresta é o lar de muitas espécies, incluindo várias espécies de aves endémicas exclusivas do miombo. A árvore predominante é o miombo (Brachystegia). Ela também fornece alimentação e abrigo a mamíferos, como o elefante-africano (Loxodonta africana), mabeco (Lycaon pictus), palanca-negra (Hippotragus niger) e o bufálo-de-lichtenstein (Sigmoceros lichtensteinii) .

Six other eBay employees and consultants were also indicted in the corporate terrorism campaign that ended when a Natick police detective, who was nowhere near the kind of yoke the eBay lowlives believed him to be, didn't let go of himself two residents of his city complained about the campaign against them. The company's then-CEO, Devin Wenig, was not charged, although he was mentioned in an FBI report on the case and was allowed to leave in silence when the FBI called. Residents of Natick, Ina, and David Steiner, who run a website about e-commerce businesses, named Little in a recent lawsuit against eBay.
Phillip Cooke, a Santa Clara, California police captain before joining eBay, is also on three years probation after his release, under the sentence imposed today by US District Judge Allison Burroughs.
In a verdict – in which they argued for 30 months in jail and reported on the eBay stalking campaign – federal prosecutors did not withhold verbal abuse against the former 27-year-old law enforcement officer who had become a corporate criminal, even when he was ready had declared to plead guilty: They said he was a shame for the badge he wore for nearly three decades, his willingness to forego everything he ever stood for during that time, abhorrent, and his reasoning, journalists, vicious attacking whose website angered him and his bosses was absurd and an affront.
During the campaign, the victims weren't simply "shaken" like they were [one eBay attacker] Put it. They experienced the harassment and intimidation physically. On August 16, 2019, the day Baugh, Zea, and Harville followed Victim 2 in a black van, Victim 1 described her husband who looked sick, sweated and felt nauseous, and feared he was going to have a heart attack. Victim 1, in turn, felt pressure when breathing, had chest pain and lost weight. The trauma of not knowing what would come next is palpable in the testimonies of the victims. Victim 1 aptly described the experience as "psychological torture".
As is often the case with cyberstalking, Cooke's crimes cut victims off from their community. Victim 1 was afraid to go public. The victims canceled social engagements and a trip to relatives and friends in the city because they feared their stalkers would follow and become stalkers of others. They even turned down offers of help and shelter, fearing that they would put their well-meaning friends at risk. Until the NPD ended the campaign, the victims saw it alone.
Her fear has not diminished over time either. Almost two years later, victims continue to memorize license plates in public, wear pepper spray outside their home, and remain vigilant for signs of unusual activity in their neighborhood. Victim 2 reports that telling these events "causes as much fear today as it did two years ago when it happened to us."
Cooke's attorney argued that Cooke suffered enough – he lost his job and the respect of his family and colleagues. He got his substance abuse under control and started a program for other addicts.
He has taken full responsibility for his wrongdoing, is very remorseful for his bad choices, and wants to do everything possible to fix his life.

Screen Australia has launched a new initiative to encourage writers to submit more family film scripts after the genre helped 2015 break the 2001 Australian box office record.
On Monday, The Australian box office total surpassed $64 million on the back of a slew of family films including Paper Planes ($9.6 million), Last Cab to Darwin ($7.1 million), Blinky Bill ($2.3 million) and now Oddball ($8.1 million).
Screen Australia is now seeking to encourage experienced writers to consider family film through the creation of the Family Film Initiative.
"Family films represent one of the most lucrative genres at the Australian box office, yet in recent times the modest volume of scripts being submitted to Screen Australia for this category does not reflect the significance of the market," according to Screen Australia.
Working with screenwriter, script editor, producer and author Joan Sauers, Screen Australia's initiative will fund up to three writers to develop their family film script up to a polished draft.
Screen Australia head of production, Sally Caplan, said Red Dog, Babe and Paper Planes were three of the highest grossing Australian films of all time, "With this genre also benefitting from high ancillary values such as DVD and merchandise sales," she said.
"We want to see the volume of live action family scripts coming to us significantly increase as we believe in this category.
The Initiative is open to eligible Australian writers with Stage One submissions requiring a logline, one-page synopsis and writers notes. Submissions are due November 30, 2015 and only live action family films with an estimated budget of under $7 million will be considered.
Stage Two will include the shortlisting of up to ten family film concepts and the selected writers will attend a two-day Family Film Forum in Sydney in March 2016.
The forum will feature guest speakers including Harry Cripps, the writer for Dreamworks' forthcoming musical feature Larrikins to be directed by Tim Minchin.
Industry will also be able to register to attend the forum (or watch a live stream), with details to be announced in January.
After the forum, shortlisted writers will consult with Joan before having the opportunity to revise and submit their final documents by April 8, 2016.
Screen Australia will then select up to three successful writers from the shortlisted applications who will be announced on April 29, 2016.
These projects will then be funded to develop a polished draft script in consultation with Joan and selected mentors.
These scripts can then progress to apply to Screen Australia's standard production funding program if desired.
Sauers, as Family Film Initiative guest executive producer, said scripts for family films were perhaps the hardest to get right.
"So we want to offer guidance, especially to writers who may never have thought about writing for the family market before," she said.

Building regulations are unfit for purpose
Open-access content Wednesday 3rd January 2018
8 January 2018 | Herpreet Kaur Grewal
The current regulatory system for ensuring fire safety in high-rise and complex buildings is not fit for purpose, according to the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety by Dame Judith Hackitt.
The Hackitt Review was called after a fire engulfed the Grenfell Tower council block on the Lancaster Estate in West London, claiming the lives of at least 80 people in June 2017.
Her interim report, which precedes the full report out in spring 2018, states that current regulations and guidance are "too complex and unclear" and this can "lead to confusion and misinterpretation in their application to high-rise and complex buildings".
It goes on to say that "the clarity of roles and responsibilities is poor" and even where "there are requirements for key activities to take place across design, construction and maintenance, it is not always clear who has responsibility for making it happen".
Despite many who demonstrate good practice, the means of assessing and ensuring the competency of key people throughout the system is inadequate, the report adds. There is often no differentiation in competency requirements for those working on high-rise and complex buildings.
Compliance, enforcement and sanctions processes are too weak and what is being designed is not what is being built and there is "a lack of robust change control" and "the lack of meaningful sanctions does not drive the right behaviours".
The route for residents to escalate concerns is unclear and inadequate, as is the system of product testing, marketing and quality assurance.
This interim report provides a summary of what has been learned so far, the proposed direction of travel for the next phase of work and the rationale for that. It also identifies some early actions that can and should be taken to support the future direction of travel; these will help to ensure delivery in an appropriately timely manner.
The interim report is "a call to action for an entire industry and those parts of government that oversee it".
It adds that "true and lasting change will require a universal shift in culture" and the industry has shown this is possible in the way the health and safety of construction workers has seen a positive transformation in culture and practice over the past decade.
Lord Porter, Local Government Association chairman, said: "The government needs to endorse the report's findings without delay and work with councils and the industry to take the process of reform forward in the way Dame Judith has set out. This will obviously need to include rewriting the documents relating to the installation of cladding and insulation on external walls of buildings so they are easier to understand and comply with.
"What happened at Grenfell Tower can never be allowed to happen again and no one should have to live in fear about their safety, be that in the buildings they live in, work in or visit. It is clear that all types of landlords also need urgent clarity about how they should be replacing materials on their high-rise blocks affected by fire safety test fails while we have raised wider concerns about the general safety of other clad buildings.
"Councils have acted quickly to put in safety measures in their high-rise blocks to reassure residents. With the majority of high-rise buildings affected by fire safety test fails owned by private landlords, councils continue to work hard to support building owners in their area to deal with the issue and to try and confirm with the owners of thousands of private high-rise residential buildings to identify the cladding and insulation systems on those blocks.
"While councils will continue to get on with what they need to do and are ready to play a leading role in making sure a new system of building regulation works, significant funding concerns remain. The government needs to meet the unexpected exceptional costs for councils arising from conducting fire safety and major remedial work and for any essential fire and safety measures needed."
A summit will be called in early 2018 with key stakeholders to discuss taking the report forward.

Q: Why is my async function running synchronously Python3.9? I'm trying to run a function on separate threads using asyncio and futures. I have a decorator which takes the long running function and its argument asynchronously and outputs its value. Unfortunately the processes seem to not be working asynchronously.
def multiprocess(self, function, executor=None, *args, **kwargs):
    async def run_task(function, *args, **kwargs):
        @functools.wraps(function)
        async def wrap(*args, **kwargs):
            while True:
                execution_runner = executor or self._DEFAULT_POOL_
                executed_job = execution_runner.submit(function, *args, **kwargs)
                print(
                    f"Pending {function.__name__}:",
                    execution_runner._work_queue.qsize(),
                    "jobs",
                )
                print(
                    f"Threads: {function.__name__}:", len(execution_runner._threads)
                )
                future = await asyncio.wrap_future(executed_job)
                return future

        return wrap

    return asyncio.run(run_task(function, *args, **kwargs))

To call the decorator I have two functions _async_task and task_function. _async_task contains a loop that runs task_function for each document that needs to be processed.
@staticmethod
def _async_task(documents):
    processed_docs = asyncio.run(task_function(documents))
    return processed_docs

task_function processes each document in documents as below,
@multiprocess
async def task_function(documents):
    processed_documents = None
    try:
        for doc in documents:
            processed_documents = process_document(doc)
            print(processed_documents)
    except Exception as err:
        print(err)
    return processed_documents

The clue that this doesn't work asynchronously is that the diagnostics I have for the multithreading decorator print the following.
Pending summarise_news: 0 jobs
Threads: summarise_news: 2

Since there's no pending jobs and the entire process takes as long as the synchronous run, it's running synchronously.

A: I had some issues setting up your code, but I think I've come up with an answer.
First of all, as @dano mentioned in his comment, asyncio.run blocks until the coroutine running is completed. Thus, you won't get any speedup from using this approach.
I used a slightly modified multiprocess decorator
def multiprocess(executor=None, *args, **kwargs):
    def run_task(function, *args, **kwargs):
        def wrap(*args, **kwargs):

            execution_runner = executor or DEFAULT_EXECUTOR
            executed_job = execution_runner.submit(function, *args, **kwargs)
            print(
                f"Pending {function.__name__}:",
                execution_runner._work_queue.qsize(),
                "jobs",
            )
            print(
                f"Threads: {function.__name__}:", len(execution_runner._threads)
            )
            future = asyncio.wrap_future(executed_job)

            return future

        return wrap
    return run_task

As you can see, there's no asyncio.run here, and both the decorator and inner wrapper are synchronous since asyncio.wrap_future does not need await.
The updated multiprocess decorator is now used with process_document function. The reason for that is you won't get any benefit of parallelizing a function that calls blocking functions in a sequence. You have to convert your blocking function to be runnable in an executor instead.
NOTE that this dummy process_document is exactly like I described - fully blocking and synchronous.
@multiprocess()
def process_document(doc):
    print(f"Processing doc: {doc}...")
    time.sleep(2)
    print(f"Doc {doc} done.")

Now, to the last point. We already made process_document kind of asynchronous by converting it to be runnable in an executor, BUT it still matters HOW exactly you invoke it.
Consider the following examples:
for doc in documents:
    result = await process_document(doc)

results = await asyncio.gather(*[process_document(doc) for doc in documents])

In the former one, we will wait for coroutines sequentially, having to wait until one finishes before starting another.
In the latter example, they will be executed in parallel, so it really depends on how exactly you invoke your coroutine execution.
Here's the full code snipped I used:
import asyncio
import concurrent.futures
import time

DEFAULT_EXECUTOR = concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4)

def multiprocess(executor=None, *args, **kwargs):
    def run_task(function, *args, **kwargs):
        def wrap(*args, **kwargs):

            execution_runner = executor or DEFAULT_EXECUTOR
            executed_job = execution_runner.submit(function, *args, **kwargs)
            print(
                f"Pending {function.__name__}:",
                execution_runner._work_queue.qsize(),
                "jobs",
            )
            print(
                f"Threads: {function.__name__}:", len(execution_runner._threads)
            )
            future = asyncio.wrap_future(executed_job)

            return future

        return wrap
    return run_task

@multiprocess()
def process_document(doc):
    print(f"Processing doc: {doc}...")
    time.sleep(2)
    print(f"Doc {doc} done.")

async def task_function_sequential(documents):
    start = time.time()
    for doc in documents:
        await process_document(doc)

    end = time.time()
    print(f"task_function_sequential took: {end-start}s")

async def task_function_parallel(documents):
    start = time.time()

    jobs = [process_document(doc) for doc in documents]
    await asyncio.gather(*jobs)

    end = time.time()
    print(f"task_function_parallel took: {end-start}s")

async def main():
    documents = [i for i in range(5)]
    await task_function_sequential(documents)
    await task_function_parallel(documents)

asyncio.run(main())

Notice that the task_function_parallel example still takes around 4 seconds, instead of 2, because the thread pool is limited to 4 workers, and the number of jobs is 5, so the last job will be waiting for some workers to be available.

Q: Secure input field against mySQL injection I have made an edit form for my users, now when I update it needs to be secure against MySQL injection.
Right now I have this query
$sqledit = mysql_query("UPDATE **** SET titel = '$title', content = '$content' WHERE `ID` = ".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['ID']),mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['txttitle'])) or die (mysql_error());

NOTE: $content is an ckeditor with has build in protection methods against MySQL injection?
Still when I put something like: ééáá",''øøí in txttitle it gives the following error.
mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource

A: SQL Injection is not the cause of your error. However, you misuse the mysql_query() function. The signature is:
mysql_query ( string $query , resource $link_identifier = NULL )

but you provide a non-link-identifier in your 2nd parameter, which causes the error.
Note: Stop using mysql_* functions as they are deprecated. Switch to MySQLi or PDO instead.

In this life, Huan Qing Yan managed to make a stand during the funeral, ignoring the damage it would have to her reputation and shoved the clan relatives out from the estate. She also managed to clear out all the disloyal servants within a night, thus limiting the methods the clan relatives can use to enter the Huan Estate again. As for the shops, it was better to sell the shops at an average price, then to keep them and allow people to keep thinking about them.
So that these disgusting clan relatives can stop thinking about how to get their hands on these shops every day.
Huan Qing Yan had decided to focus her efforts on the path of a Spirit Master. This society revered strength, having too much wealth would not be of much use. Having too much money would only cause her to waste time and effort to fight with those evil relatives of hers.
The food ingredient shops that she retained were the signature shops of the Huan Family, it would also be the foundation for her little brother's future when he grows up.
After settling everything with lightning quick response and methods, Huan Qing Yan could finally ease her tension with a sigh of relief.
Majority of the household matters have finally been addressed.
Of course, there was still that one last thing that required her attention.
During lunch time, Huan Qing Yan called for a family banquet and instructed it to be held in Madam Huan's courtyard.
Before they started eating, Huan Meng Yue did not sit but tried to stand beside Madam Huan thinking of assisting her with getting food. However, she was forced to be seated at a lower position after receiving Lou Qiao's glare. After Huan Meng Yue sat down, she did not dare to take any of the dishes, only lowering her head to eat the rice.
Huan Jiu Li rarely had the opportunity to seat with Madam Huan and Huan Qing Yan for a meal in the past and was feeling very uptight. However, after Huan Qing Yan personally placed some dishes in his bowl and also observing the kind reactions from Madam Huan, the burly youth began to loosen up and enjoy the meal.
''Little Yan, you did not sleep at all last night, are you tired?'' Madam Huan asked worryingly.
''Mama, please rest assured, I am not very tired. Being a Three-Star Spirit Master, I can handle it.'' Huan Qing Yan replied smoothly.
She was currently in a state of fright, she had been feeling an unkind gaze coming from the Young Mistress ever since she fainted. In addition, the decisive methods that the Young Mistress used over the past two days had only caused her heart to beat even more wildly.
''Time really went by quickly. I still remember you were only three when you joined the Huan Estate, your parents had just passed away and your uncle approached us hoping we could buy you as a servant girl. My husband had always been a kind person and you were a relative, albeit being seven or eight generations apart;in addition, we feel that you would be a good companion for Little Yan since the both of you were of the same age, thus we accepted you. Yet in a blink of an eye, twelve years have passed!'' Madam Huan said in lament.
''Yes. It was thanks to the Master's kindness that made the Meng Yue of today.'' Huan Meng Yue replied fearfully.
In fact, Huan Qing Yan could kill Huan Meng Yue as effortlessly as killing an ant!
However, she cannot do things this way.
Firstly, she was acting without justification as the incident that she knew had not happened.
Next, the trash and b*tch had toyed and hurt the reincarnated girl very badly in her previous life. Instant killing was too good of a death for her, only by making Huan Meng Yue experience the same amount of suffering could the reincarnated girl's grudge be successfully resolved.
Huan Meng Yue like to act pure and kind?
Then let her continue acting!

Q: How to Select 'id' attribute of a  using jQuery Sorry if this question is similar to some other questions already asked, but even after searching through those I have not get the expected results.
I have more than 1 div tag in my page like:

&@Slider@&

&@Slider@&

I am using jQuery to select id attribute of a div whoes value will be &@Slider@& as I need the Id for some later purpose.
I have tried using [attribute=value] selector but it isnt working as expected in this case
function showtext() {

    alert($("[text='slider']").prop('id'));

}

I will be calling this function on some event, the problem is I am getting "undefined" in the alertbox. Where am I going wrong.
Even tried using
function showtext() {

    alert($("[text='slider']").attr('id'));

}

Still getting same "undefined" result
Thank you in Advance

A: You need to use contains selector since you want to test the text content of a div
alert($("div:contains('Slider')").prop('id'));

Your selector $("[text='slider']").prop('id') tries to find an element with attribute text and value slider, something like

A: You can do it by using.
console.log($("div:contains('Slider')").prop('id'));

Above code only doing first id only, if you want to get all id's, then please try below code
$("div:contains('Slider')").each(function() {
alert(this.id)
});

See this fiddler Demo

A: Use this.
$(document).ready(function(){

  $( $("div:contains(Slider)") ).each(function() {
   alert($(this).attr('id'));
  });

Above code will return list of all matching id of matched div

A: You can use contains to identify if a div has Slider text in it. I am using a javascript array to accommodate all the ids of the divs. I hope this will work-

Clayton Kershaw very blunt about his home run pitch to Mike Trout
Clayton Kershaw offers some advice on how to pitch to Mike Trout after giving up a homer to the Angels slugger on Friday
It was a clash between two legends; two Hall of Fame-bound superstars. And, at least for one at-bat on Friday night, Mike Trout got the better of Clayton Kershaw.
In the top of the third inning at Dodger Stadium, with the Dodgers leading the Los Angeles Angels 1-0, Trout connected with a curveball from the Dodgers left-hander on the eighth pitch of the at-bat for a 407-foot home run. The three-run homer brought home Luis Rengifo and David Fletcher, giving the Angels a 3-1 lead that would not last. The Dodgers went on to win the game 9-5, with Kershaw giving up four runs (one earned) on eight hits in four innings.
Kershaw wasn't satisfied with either his performance or the pitch to Trout. When asked how he pitched to Trout, he gave a blunt and frank response. "Not throwing a curveball down the middle," he said.
"It was a bad night. Nothing was great. But thankful it's now and not later. I'm probably not going to think about this one too much."
Trout, playing his entire career just 30 miles down I-5 from Kershaw, had never enjoyed much success off his crosstown neighbor. He had been 0-15 against Kershaw since 2014 before Friday's home run and is now 3-18 for his career; it was the first home run he had ever hit against Kershaw. Trout hadn't hit a home run in 12 consecutive games dating back to Sept. 10.
Trout is only the second player to hit a home run off Kershaw's curveball this season. The Dodgers' three-time Cy Young Award winner, despite what he might feel about his performance, has been solid all season. Kershaw finishes the year with a record of 6-2 and a 2.16 ERA. He has his lowest ERA and WHIP since 2016. Opponents are hitting just .194 against him this season. Friday's outing was his seventh time in 10 starts allowing one or fewer earned runs.
And he's headed to the playoffs for the eighth straight season. The Angels, meanwhile, were officially eliminated on Friday, meaning Trout is going home for the sixth straight year. He may have hit a home run against Kershaw, but in terms of team success, it's the left-hander who has all the bragging rights.

Recently I had the honour of judging in the Miss PinUp Australia – Victoria heat and as usual, it was a tough job. All the contestants worked hard to show why they were the best in their category.
However, I am pleased with my shots of the Miss Illustrated ladies, who were kind enough to come up to the judging tables and show us their artworks….my position near the window paid off and they look great in the natural light.
Sadly, we had to leave before the winnners were announced, but a long list of fabulous people are now off to the grand finals next year – you can see the full list here, including the Wild Card entrants.
– Mr Johnny Rockett and Mr Roger Rabbit for getting up their and doing your thing whilst fellow contestants dropped out. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I loved every minute of your performances. Bonus points to Roger for best prop usage (easel and direction signs = brilliant!).
– Miss Cheech for her use of Tamra's book "Getting Naked". Why hasn't anyone thought of that before?!
– Miss Ayr Loxide for precariously perching a cute little sailor cap on her beehive. There's something incredibly pin up about cute and impractical accessories, and it suited her perky persona.
– Miss Baby Blavatsky and Miss Hayley for their fabulous self-made costumes. Well done ladies! I especially loved Hayley's Barbie-inspired swimsuit.
– Miss Lady A Broad for nailing a South Pacific vintage look. Beautiful!
– Miss Bettie Jean for her perfect Marilyn Monroe Seven Year Itch look. The best.
– Miss Angel Girl for keeping a cheeky smile on her face throughout.
– Miss Catalina Collie, the new Miss VaVaVoom Runner Up, for re-entering after not winning last year – good for you Miss Collie!
– For everyone who turned out on the day to support our wonderful local entrants – I'm sure an enthusiastic crowd makes it much easier to get up there and do what they have to do.
If any of the finalists would like a little help with their grand final ensembles, I'm at your service.
