Elliott BROOD is performing this month with Toronto's newchoir
Joanna Mills
There's an image that enters most people's minds when they hear the word "choir" and a very different image when they hear the words "folk band." Combining the two may seem unexpected, but when the choir is Toronto's premier rock choir newchoir, and the folk band is Juno Award-winning folk-rock trio Elliott BROOD, rock is the common ground where magic happens.
Under the direction of Dr. Robin Williams, newchoir has been creating full-on rock concert experiences using unexpected SATB arrangements of classic rock and pop songs since 2005. Collaborating with high-calibre Canadian artists such as Bobby Bazini, Jully Black, Sarah Slean, Steven Page, Hawksley Workman and Jeremy Fisher, and performing with a live band, newchoir presents sold-out concerts each season at world class venues, including Koerner Hall and the Masonic Temple in Toronto. The latest Canadian music stars to join forces with the choir are Hamilton's Mark Sasso, Casey Laforet and Stephen Pitkin – better known as Elliott BROOD. A three-piece, folk-rock/alt-country band whose brand of fuzzed-up roots music makes for a captivating and frenetic live performance, their style has been called everything from "blackgrass" to "death country," but those descriptions don't capture the transcendent heights of their unique approach to roots music.
When newchoir was deliberating on which artist might best fit the theme of its spring 2019 concert "In Stereo," board president Margaret Grottenthaler immediately thought of Elliott BROOD because she loves their sound.
"The voices in this band are unique but still blend beautifully," she said. "I thought our choir and audience would love their upbeat energy."
Never having been asked to sing with a choir before, the band felt both excited and a little nervous about the project, but after their first full rehearsal, the nerves were gone.
"It's a nice opportunity because we get to reimagine our songs with 130 voices," Mark Sasso said. "Why wouldn't you take that opportunity?"
Using choral arrangements created by drummer Stephen Pitkin, newchoir is singing the harmonies the band has always imagined in their heads but that have never before been realized in a live show.
For their "In Stereo" concert at Koerner Hall on May 25, newchoir will perform an exciting program of pop and rock covers and will join Elliott BROOD for songs carefully chosen from four different albums, including "Owen Sound" from their Juno Award-winning album Days Into Years and "Til' The Sun Comes Up Again" from their latest album Ghost Gardens. Tickets for "In Stereo" are available now!

Since Sun MicroSystems has been aquired by Oracle, Some people have had their doubts about the future of MySQL, ofcourse there is MariaDB, a fairly new MySQL solution founded by the masterbrain behind MySQL, Monthy. But it just doesn't do it 'yet' for the bigger audience, i never heard a client ask for a MariaDB database solution, the questions are always the same, Are we going to use Oracle or Microsoft and what are the organization costs to implement and support?
If you are a personal or a non heavy user of databases Microsoft released the MSSQL Express edition, a free SQL database version that supports databases up to 10 GB. Read more about the free Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Express here. And to make it even easier for you, Microsoft has now released the MySQL migration Assistent (SSMA) at the 12th of August. The SSMA tool is available for servers SQL2005, 2008, 2008 R2 and SQL Azure and is compatible with MySQL version 4.2 and higher, also suitable for 64 bit platforms. So what's keeping you up? For everyone who still has doubts, Microsoft will now convince you. After a SQL migration assistant for Oracle, Access and SyBase, MySQl has been added to this list. A pretty smart move for Microsoft to generate even more new clients, who still had cold feet, thinking about costs and downtime of the servers, there is no longer an excuse. Microsoft is listening, improving and on the move!

Well ~ that explains a lot.
Tonight, Saturday, July 31, we have a Blue Moon. There are several definitions of a Blue Moon, but the simplest one, and most recent, is that a Blue Moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. For a Blue Moon to occur, the first of the full moons must appear at or near the beginning of the month so that the second will fall within the same month (the average span between two moons is 29.5 days). July 2004 had two full moons: the first on July 2, the second on July 31— that second full moon is called the Blue Moon ~~ and Saturday's full moon was also one of "the biggest" full moons of 2004, increasing vertical tides by as much as 10-20 feet (imagine how it affects the 70% of water that is your body). The last Blue Moon we had was in November 2001, and for the next one we will have to wait until June 2007. I hope you looked up on Saturday night and saw that moon, or felt it, or heard it ....... above you, around you, inside you.
Full Moon, or Blue Moon, nights are amazing for doing "once in a Blue Moon" things like hikes and kayaking. When I lived in Mill Valley, I used to go with friends on monthly full moon hikes in the Marin Headlands ~~ we'd hike several miles, scaling these huge freaking hills, literally on all-fours up that first crest, at first in pitch dark until the moon got high enough to cast moon shadows of our stumbling figures across the hillsides, with the soft roar of the Pacific Ocean all along to our left ~~ our destination? The Pelican Inn in Muir Beach, to have a few beers ~ then we would scurry back on the fire road, or if someone was smart enough to park a car up at the Inn in advance, we would coast down the highway back home ~~ sand in our shoes, moon shadows in our eyes, and beer breath. Damn, I loved that. I've also gone full-moon kayaking (a "Full Moon Paddle") in Sausalito, around the San Francisco Bay, in October (the warmest month out here). There are these pockets of the Bay that get completely dark, the City Lights obscured by the hills, and all you can hear are your paddles skimming along the water, the sound of the sea lions in the distance, and schools of fish splashing around you ~~ then the group leaders have you "park" your kayak in the middle of this alcove, and you face East....waiting for the Moon to rise ~~ and the night I was there, we had a Harvest Moon ~~ explosive orange. And of all of us were dumbfounded, silent, as we watched this giant, orange, glowing, amazing Moon slowly rise up over the Bay and the Hills and our imaginations. Damn. Full Moons are for Full Nights.
Anyway, then I thought of that old song, Blue Moon, damn, especially the live version by Billie Holiday. But the Cowboy Junkies have a haunting, sweet, eerie, sublime version, Blue Moon Revisited (Song For Elvis), on their amazing Trinity Session album. If you don't already own this album, get it now. Yes, go to iTunes right now and download the entire damn album. Do it.
I just got home ~ it's nearly 1 am and I'm staring out at tonight's Blue Moon, bewildered by its mystery and it beauty, drunk from the delicious 4-hour dinner with wonderful friends, and haunted by Margo Timmins' silky voice. If you don't know, The Trinity Session was recorded live in one day in November 1987 at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto. Damn ~~ What do you have to show for your day today?
Yup. Saw it. It looks awesome.

(13) Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah.--Comp, 2Kings 14:8. Thenius thinks the formal specification of Amaziah's descent indicates that this narrative was derived from "the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel." At all events, it emphasises the importance of the incident, which is further indicated in the original by the order of the words: "And Amaziah king of Judah . . . did Jehoash king of Israel take . . ."
Came.--So the Hebrew margin. The Hebrew text has, brought him (way'bi'o; a rare form). So Chronicles and the Vulg., but not the other versions. Jehoash brought Amaziah a prisoner to his own capital.
Brake down the wall.--Or, made a breach in the wall. No resistance appears to have been offered. Josephus relates that Amaziah was induced by menaces of death to order the gates to be thrown open to the enemy; a needless assumption, considering that the army had been routed and the king was a captive. He adds, that Jehoash rode in his chariot through the breach in the walls, leading Amaziah as a prisoner.
From the gate.--So Chronicles and the Syriac, Vulg., and Arabic here. The Hebrew text has, at the gate, which is due to the common confusion of the letters b and m (be, "in;" min, "from"). The following "unto" shows that "from" is right.
Of Ephraim.--This gate lay on the north side of the city, and was also called the "Gate of Benjamin." It answers to the modern Damascus gate.
The corner gate.--This gate was at the north-west corner of the wall at the point where it trended southwards.
Four hundred cubits.--That is, about 222 yards. The insolence of a victorious enemy is sufficient to account for this conduct of Jehoash. It was also a forcible way of convincing Amaziah that even his strongest city was not proof against the prowess of Ephraim. Thenius thinks that Jehoash wanted to make room for the triumphal entry of his troops.
Verse 13. - And Jehoash King of Israel took Amaziah King of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah at Beth-shemesh - Josephus says (l.s.c.) that Amaziah was deserted by his troops, who were seized with a sudden panic and fled from the field - and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem. According to Josephus, Joash threatened his prisoner with death unless the gates of Jerusalem were opened to him, and his army admitted into the town; and it was upon Amaziah's representations that the surrender was made as soon as the Israelite army appeared before the place. The breach in the wall was therefore not the result of siege operations, but the act of a conqueror, who desired to leave his enemy as defenseless as possible. From the gate of Ephraim; i.e. the main gate in the northern wall of the city - that by which travelers ordinarily proceeded into the territory of the tribe of Ephraim. In later times it seems to have been called indifferently "the gate of Ephraim" (Nehemiah 8:16; Nehemiah 12:39) and "the gate of Benjamin" (Jeremiah 37:13; Zechariah 14:10). The great north road, which passed through it, led across the Benjamite into the Ephraim-its territory. Unto the corner gate. The, "corner gate" is generally thought to have been that at the north-western angle of the City wall, where it turned southward, but this is perhaps doubtful. The exact line of the city wall in the time of Amaziah is exceedingly uncertain. Four hundred cubits; six hundred feet, or two hundred yards. This seems to have been the entire distance between the two gates. As there were at least thirteen gates in the circuit of the walls (Nehemiah 3:1-31; Nehemiah 12:31-39; Zechariah 14:10), which were probably not mere extensive than those of the present town (3960 yards), the distance of two hundred yards between one gate and another would not be improbable, the average distance being about three hundred yards.

"America's mismatch between wages and rental prices is more perverse than ever."
What gives? Rents are declining in some of the priciest American cities; it seems the luxury rental bubble has finally sprung a leak. But a persistent shortage of affordable units is still pinching renters in lower income brackets. Fewer families are buying homes, often due to a lack of access to mortgage credit or insufficient savings for a downpayment. Demand for rentals continues to surge, and households across the income spectrum are competing for the same scarce units. Low-wage workers have seen pay increases over the past two years, but those haven't kept up with the cost of living through an affordable housing crisis with no end in sight."
"Marin's skewed demographics caught the attention of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2011, and it conducted an audit on the county. It sought to answer: Was the county working hard enough to include people of color in its housing plans?
The county's demographics looked a lot like Westchester County in New York, which became the site of a famous fair housing lawsuit related to patterns of residential segregation. Officials suspected the same thing might be happening in Marin County.
By failing to comply with these laws, the audit found, Marin County had failed to take active steps to welcome the people those laws sought to protect — including people of color.
Marin County isn't the only place with some history of opposition to affordable housing. But other factors — namely, all of the land set aside for conservation — made it that much more difficult to find suitable places to build affordable housing.
"Marin is very wealthy and the houses here cost quite a bit," said Peattie. "It's hard to own property here [and it's] easy to say, 'Oh, it's just a question about money, it's not about race at all.' But it's not that simple.""
"With the average house in San Francisco costing over $1.25 million and median condo prices over $1.11 million, the minimum qualifying income to purchase a house has increased to $254,000, as estimated by the the California Association of Realtors. Considering that the median household income in the city currently stands around $80,000, it is not an exaggeration to say that the dream of home ownership is now beyond the grasp of the vast majority of today's renters.
For generations, the stability and prosperity of the American middle class has been anchored by home ownership. Studies have consistently shown that the value of land has outpaced overall income growth, thus providing a huge advantage to property owners as a vehicle of wealth building. When home prices soar above the reach of most households, the gap between the haves and the have nots dramatically increases.
If causal factors leading to housing unaffordability are not resolved over multiple generations, the social stratification will start to resemble countries like Russia, where a small elite control a vast share of the country's total wealth.
The result? A society where the threat of class warfare would loom large. According to a 2010 study conducted by the University of Warwick, a society's level of happiness is tied less to measures of quantitative wealth and more to ties of qualitative wealth. This means that how a person judges their wellbeing in comparison to their neighbors has more of an impact on their happiness than their objective standard of living. At the same time, when a system no longer provides opportunities for the majority to partake in wealth building, it not only robs those who are excluded of opportunities, but also of their dignity.
Our impending housing crisis forces the uncomfortable question of what type of society we would like to be. Will it be one where elites command the vast bulk of wealth and regional culture is defined by a cutthroat business world? We were recently treated to a taste of the latter, when local tech employee Justin Keller wrote an open letter to the city complaining about having to see homeless people on his way to work.
It doesn't have to be this way. But solutions need to be implemented now, before angry mobs grow from nuisance to serious concern. It may take less than you might think. There are only so many housing reform community meetings one can sit through.
Ultimately, the solutions to our housing crisis are fairly clear. We need to increase the density of housing units. We need to use existing technology to shorten travel times and break the geographical bottleneck.
There is a way to solve complex social and economic problems without abandoning social responsibility. This is the Bay Area's opportunity to prove that it can innovate more than just technology."
"Imagine a world where all phones were automatically connected to the Internet, at no charge. Is this an idle fantasy?
The current worldwide debate about Zero-Rating and Network Neutrality has brought the issue of affordable Internet access into sharp relief. I recently came back from the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Brazil where there were no less than seven sessions on Zero Rating and Network Neutrality. Internet.org, now renamed as Free Basics, continues to be a subject of often emotional debate as to whether it brings greater benefits or harms to those who use it.
This has got me thinking about how we value the Internet and how fast the Internet needs to be in order to qualify as 'enough'. In one of his sessions at the IGF, Vint Cerf pointed out that we use the word Internet as if it meant the same thing to everyone but this isn't really true. A feature-phone user browsing the Internet via Opera over a 3G connection does not have the same experience as the San Francisco-based developer on gigabit fibre staring at his/her dual 26 inch monitors.
The "all bits are created equal" debate in Network Neutrality doesn't really take into account our varied experiences of Internet. On a personal level, it is clear that some bits are more valuable to us than others. A one or a zero that indicates whether your loved one is alive is worth infinitely more than four gigabytes of the latest Hollywood movie.
This got me thinking about the spread of mobile telephony in sub-Saharan Africa. The Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) model implemented by mobile network operators (MNOs) meant that it didn't cost any money to be part of the network. All phones with a SIM card automatically register on the network and are callable on the network. A credit on the network is not required. Why has this turned out to be a such a phenomenally successful model? Because MNOs recognised that each and every person connected to the network added value to the network whether they made a call or not because they increased the size of the callable network, thereby increasing value to paying users. This phenomenon is known as network effect and while it may have been a somewhat esoteric concept twenty years ago when the mobile industry started, it is now well understood by any Internet entrepreneur.
This brings me back to an approach I suggested last year: low-bitrate, generic zero-rating. What if it were normal for all MNOs to offer low-bitrate, generic Internet access in the same manner that all MNOs connect phones to their network? Let's imagine that Internet data were enabled by default for free at GSM (2G) speeds of only 9.6kbps to all users. Let's also imagine that it is a best-effort service that might not always achieve that speed or may have terrible latency, a bit like real 2G service.
• Legitimise data as a means of government/civic communication. If everyone can access basic data services just by having a feature/smartphone, then it is easier to justify government investment in e-services.
• Decrease the digital divide. Democratising access to data through free low-bitrate access would create a true on-ramp to the Internet and its vast diversity of services and interactions.
• Open up vast new markets to data service providers. The network-effects of millions of new data users would dramatically increase the value of data services in general.
• Spur innovation in low data consumption applications. If you know that you can reach *everyone* at a very low speed, it would spur both the public and private sector to develop applications that consume less bandwidth in order to reach more people. Indeed Facebook is already doing this with their application development.
I've asked you to imagine a world where mobile phones connect to the Internet in the same way that they simply connect to the mobile phone network, where there are no data charges for very low data speeds. On the surface at least it would seem that the benefits to both the public and private sector would dramatically outweigh the costs of doing this. If we accept that the value of access is not directly proportional to speed of access and that there is huge value in even small amounts of data access, then perhaps a national strategy ought to focus on getting everyone connected at a modest, free rate as opposed to say 80% of the people at say 2Mbps?
Some operators like T-mobile in the US already offer 2G roaming but only for postpaid customers. What if it just made good social and economic sense to have basic rate Internet enabled for all mobile phones?"

The entire planning business in California is changing, and I cannot quite predict where we are headed. So many of the conditions we have lived with for the past generation or two are changing. Real estate development is flat and we can't predict when the market's coming back, meaning we can't use development to leverage needed change in our communities – nor use developer money to fund our practices. Local government revenue is flat and probably going down – meaning advance planning in California is extremely dependent right now on state and federal money, which could dry up anytime. And, of course, nobody knows what's going to happen with redevelopment in the long run. Cities are on the verge of bankruptcy, planning departments are being rolled up, and planners are out on the street.
In the short run, all these things are harmful to the profession and to California's communities as well. But it's possible that some kind of shakeout and rethinking of how planning works in this state is long overdue. Maybe we've become too dependent on the same ol'-same ol' – tax-increment funds, developer impact fees, and so forth. Maybe it's time to find a new model – one where the local governments play a smaller or at least different role, and developers and nonprofit organizations play a bigger one.
Our projects primarily engage the micro scale of the neighborhood, transforming it into the urban laboratory of the 21st century. The forces of control at play across the most trafficked checkpoint in the world has provoked the small border neighborhoods that surround it to construct alternative urbanisms of transgression that infiltrate themselves beyond the property line in the form of non-conforming spatial and entrepreneurial practices. A migrant, small scale activism that alters the rigidity of discriminatory urban planning of the American metropolis, and search for new modes of social sustainability and affordability. The political and economic processes behind this social activism bring new meaning to the role of the informal in the contemporary city. What is interesting here is not the 'image' of the informal but the instrumentality of its operational socio-economic and political procedures. The counter economic and social organizational practices produced by non-profit social service organizations (turned micro-developers of alternative housing prototypes and public infrastructure at the scale of the parcel) within these neighborhoods are creating alternative sites of negotiation and collaboration. They effectively search to transform top-down legislature and lending structures, in order to generate a new brand of bottom-up social and economic justice that can bridge the political equator.
An interesting convergence. Now allow me to add my 'Community Character Corner' synopsis, which heroically attempts to bridge the brilliant points of both these perspectives together…"
"Every year, Apple updates the iPad and magically delivers a device that's twice as good as the previous edition, at exactly the same price. Good. But they've done next to nothing to put iPads within reach of a broader economic range of consumers.
…Apple's whole business is based on high markups. And at the same time, their whole brand is based on high-quality products. A+B equals a company that isn't in any position to make things for people who are on a tight budget. Apple is set up to build the slimmest, slickest, and most elegant $999 notebook on the market. They can't build a chunky, $399 plastic notebook that's reasonably well-made and will competently suit the needs of most users.
Those $399 notebooks are important to a lot of people. The device that they can afford is way more useful than the device they can only dream about owning.
Amazon keeps finding ways to get the price down."
"America is broken. Not just the Rust Belt, but everywhere. Income disparity. Unemployment. In the past those who were shut out—in particular the immigrants and the yet-minted young—would do what Americans did best: Go West, and build something of your own. But now we have saturated the coasts. Many are looking around for a geographic workshop where a new American way can be built. Some are beginning to turn inward to find that "out there" is really in here: the Rust Belt.
There are a few reasons for this. First is the opportunity that comes with usable space. Artists are being priced out of established cities like New York and L.A. Cheap space to live and work is becoming attractive. First- and second-generation immigrants are getting the itch too, and they are finding that Rust Belt cities can be the "America" within America. Take the case of Allentown, PA. It is the fastest growing city in PA. After years of shrinking this is shocking. And the city has Hispanics to thank for it."
"Light Performance: The Kiran provides up to 8 hours of light on a full battery and uses highly efficient LEDs. It is four times brighter than a kerosene lantern and provides 360-degree illumination. The lamp gives an even white light that can illuminate a workspace and can be used for a variety of activities like studying, cooking, or walking.
"When the ball drops on January 1, we'll be entering a new decade. Isn't it funny to think that just 10 years ago we were eating sushi all the time, working at dot-coms, and wearing high-tech-looking shoes with wavy Space Age soles? Imagine if somebody had told us that beards, pickles, and backyard chickens would be cutting-edge, 2010 fashion. CHOW.com busted out the time capsule to investigate more of what we were eating and drinking in 1999, and how it's changed. Take a look…"
"Too poor to buy cheap. That simple phase really resonated with me and has stuck with me ever since.

Soon to come are the balance of Pitt's all-star lineup, including Adjaye Associates, Morphosis, MVRDV, Pugh + Scarpa, and Shigeru Ban."
"It is a vicious circle. Smaller houses on smaller lots are the logical solution to the problem of affordability, yet density—and less affluent neighbors—are precisely what most communities fear most. In the name of fighting sprawl, local zoning boards enact regulations that either require larger lots or restrict development, or both. These strategies decrease the supply—hence, increase the cost—of developable land. Since builders pass the cost of lots on to buyers, they justify the higher land prices by building larger and more expensive houses—McMansions. This produces more community resistance, and calls for yet more restrictive regulations. In the process, housing affordability becomes an even more distant chimera."
"For Americans concerned about their transportation costs, living where long commutes aren't necessary and where stores and amenities are within walking distance is more and more appealing. With this in mind, the editors of Forbes magazine, with the help of the Center for Neighborhood Technology, have identified what they call the nation's most fuel-efficient urban neighborhoods."

Q: Need help to create sql query MySQLi PHP I have two tables
COMPANY: company_id, company_name
REVIEW: review_id, company_id, review_text
I am trying to make search functional on site. I try to display all reviews of specific company. Example, I have search field, I enter there "Microsoft" and then I need all reviews about Microsoft.
I try to do such query, but it is not working
            $company_name = $_POST["company_name"] ?? '';
            $review_text = $_POST["review_text"] ?? '';
            $searchc = $_POST["searchc"] ?? '';

            if(isset($_POST['show'])){
                $result2 = $mysqli->prepare(
                    "SELECT review_text
                   FROM review
                   WHERE company_id
                   IN (HERE I THINK I NEED EMBED QUERY... BUT NOT SURE..) ?");
                $result2->bind_param("s", $searchc);
                $result2->execute();
                $result2->store_result();
                $row2 = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result2);
            }

                <form method="post">

                    <input name="searchc" type="text" value="">

                    <input type="submit" value="show" name="show">

                  </form>

                    Text: <?=$row2['review_text']?>

A: You can perform a SQL join on your tables
$sql = "SELECT review.*, company.company_name
        FROM review
        INNER JOIN company ON review.company_id = company.company_id WHERE
        company.company_name = ?";
$result2->bind_param("s", $searchc);

A: You will need a nested query like this:
$result2 = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT review_text FROM review WHERE company_id
IN (SELECT company_id from company where company_name=?");
$result2 = bind_param("s", $searchc);
$result2->execute();

A: You just need to perform a INNER JOIN like
SELECT review_text
                   FROM review
                  JOIN  COMPANY on review.company_id = COMPANY.company_id;

Well, in case you are getting company name as input then you are almost close
SELECT review_text
                   FROM review
                   WHERE company_id
                   IN (select company_id from company where company_name = $company_name)

A: Try this:
SELECT
    REVIEW.*, COMPANY.company_name
FROM
    REVIEW
INNER JOIN COMPANY ON REVIEW.company_id = COMPANY.company_id
WHERE
    COMPANY.company_name = "$search";

Results with $search = 'Apple':
"4" "2" "Apple Review 1"    "Apple"
"5" "2" "Apple Review 2"    "Apple"
"6" "2" "Apple Review 3"    "Apple"

Try this:
SELECT
    REVIEW.*, COMPANY.company_name
FROM
    REVIEW
INNER JOIN COMPANY ON REVIEW.company_id = COMPANY.company_id
WHERE
    COMPANY.company_name = "$search";

Results with $search = 'Apple':
"4" "2" "Apple Review 1"    "Apple"
"5" "2" "Apple Review 2"    "Apple"
"6" "2" "Apple Review 3"    "Apple"

EDIT 1:
I use PostgreSQL, the only difference in what I am going to show you, is when you create the tables and insert the data. The SQL statement to do what you need is the same.
First, create the 2 tables company and review
CREATE TABLE company
(
  company_id integer NOT NULL,
  company_name character varying(255) NOT NULL,
  CONSTRAINT company_pkey PRIMARY KEY (company_id)
)
WITH (
  OIDS=FALSE
);
ALTER TABLE company
  OWNER TO postgres;

And review table:
CREATE TABLE review
(
  review_id integer NOT NULL,
  company_id integer NOT NULL,
  review_text character varying(255),
  CONSTRAINT review_pkey PRIMARY KEY (review_id)
)
WITH (
  OIDS=FALSE
);
ALTER TABLE review
  OWNER TO postgres;

After having created the tables, insert data in them. For your problem I use the following...
Company Table:
-----------------------------
company_id  |   company_name
-----------------------------
|   1       |   Microsoft   |
|   2       |   Apple       |
|   3       |   NASA        |
-----------------------------

And review table:
-----------------------------------------------------
review_id   |   company_id  |   review_text         |
----------------------------|------------------------
|   1       |   1           |   Microsoft Review 1  |
|   2       |   1           |   Microsoft Review 2  |
|   3       |   1           |   Microsoft Review 3  |
|   4       |   2           |   Apple Review 1      |
|   5       |   2           |   Apple Review 2      |
|   6       |   2           |   Apple Review 3      |
|   7       |   3           |   NASA Review 1       |
|   8       |   3           |   NASA Review 2       |
|   9       |   3           |   NASA Review 3       |
-----------------------------------------------------

After this, you can check the output of the following SQL statement with your SQL administrator (Navicat, MySQL Workbench or whatever you use) ...
New SQL query and you write:
SELECT
    review.*, company.company_name
FROM
    review
INNER JOIN company ON review.company_id = company.company_id
WHERE
    company.company_name = 'Apple';

and the output will be...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
review_id   |   company_id  |   review_text         |   company_name|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|"4"        |   "2"         |   "Apple Review 1"    |"Apple"        |
|"5"        |   "2"         |   "Apple Review 2"    |"Apple"        |
|"6"        |   "2"         |   "Apple Review 3"    |"Apple"        |
---------------------------------------------------------------------

To use that SQL statement in your PHP code, it is simple ...
$result2 = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT
    review.*, company.company_name
FROM
    review
INNER JOIN company ON review.company_id = company.company_id
WHERE
    company.company_name = $company_name");

....

Any help is welcome.

A: I could solve this question with 3 steps:
First, i send the value of the input in a ajax parameter
year    : $("#year").val()

After i recive the value in Servlet
String year_value = request.getParameter("year");

And set a atributte to get value in JSP page.
request.setAttribute("year_value", Integer.parseInt(year_value));

In JSP page i use the variable year_value to compare in if.
<c:if test="${ year_value > 2019 }">
    ...

Apologies for the light blogging lately.
Between working on a project for Fox, closing things out in Connecticut, finding a tenant for my place, getting shots (5 needles and $430--double ouch!) and planning and booking what promises to be a fantastic trip to Africa and Europe, life has only sped up since I left ESPN, which is something I didn't think was possible. Posting will continue to be light over the next few weeks.
"Strangers are the source of fear in the world. On the Internet they are the source of everything good - trust is what makes that happen."
I love that it's true, but I don't think strangers need to be a source of fear in this world. I've seen how far a smile and wild gesticulations can go when you don't speak the same language. 99.9999% of people are friendly and want to connect; the biggest obstacle for most is stirring up the confidence to take the first step and reach out to someone or to try something different.
So, Caterina's line inspired me to decide something I've been trying to figure out for a couple of days now--London or Cairo? Screw the easy choice--I'm heading to Cairo!

On October 23rd, when the trees had turned and leaves began to fall in our walnut grove, Christina Kennedy and Tanisha Watkins, took over Lost Hill Lake to create the most magical autumn style shoot. The beautiful fall day created the perfect backdrop for two couples and eight photographers to capture the breathtaking view of our venue during our last month of the season. We enjoyed working with the amazing vendors listed below and each of the talented photographers.

Q: Solve $\int (4x+2)\sqrt{x^2+x+1}\,dx$ Trying to solve this for a while now, so far I was able to come up without a proper answer.
Problem : $\displaystyle \int (4x+2)\sqrt{x^2+x+1}\,dx$.
I tried to take two common from $(4x+2)$ and also to take $(x+1)^2 - x$ from the root, but wasn't able to come up with something to take for substitution. A hint in the right direction would be highly appreciated
Edit :
I forgot to mention this. As this is part of the integration by substitution exercise it'd be highly appreciated if you could provide the hint in that direction.

A: Hint :
Are you asking
$$
\int (4x+2)\sqrt{x^2+x+1}\ dx = \ldots?
$$
If so, let $u=x^2+x+1\ \Rightarrow\ du=2x+1$.

A: I'm extremely new to integration and my methods are sloppy but I'd like to try out this question. The following isn't an answer but a demonstration that any substitution can do the job as long as it is done right (Although, a fundamental zen of calculus dictates that the rightest way is the fastest way, I think any path is better than no path)
I'm going to try my luck with $u = 4x+2 \implies \frac{du}{dx} = 4 \implies dx= \frac{1}{4} du$
Also, by the above assumption, $x = \frac{u-2}{4}$
$$
\require{cancel}
\begin{align}
&\int (4x+2)\sqrt{x^2+x+1}\,dx \\
&= \int{u\cdot\sqrt{\left(\frac{u-2}{4}\right)^2 + \frac{u-2}{4}+ 1}}\cdot\frac{1}{4} du\\
&= \frac{1}{4} \int{u}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{u^2 - 4u + 4 +4(u-2) + 4^2}{4^2}}\, du\\
&= \frac{1}{4} \int{ u \cdot \frac{1}{4}\cdot \sqrt{u^2 \cancel{- 4u} + 4 \cancel{+ 4u} - 8 +16}}\, du\\
&=\frac{1}{16} \int{u\cdot\sqrt{u^2 + 12}}\, du
\end{align}
$$
Mhh, we need to substitute again inorder to proceed. Let's continue this with
$$v =\sqrt{ u^2 + 12 }
\implies \frac{dv}{du} = \frac{2u}{2\sqrt{u^2 + 12}} = \frac{u}{v}
\implies du = \frac{v}{u}\, dv$$
Continuing,
$$
\begin{align}
&\frac{1}{16} \int{u\cdot\sqrt{u^2 + 12}}\, du \\
&= \frac{1}{16} \int{u\cdot v \cdot \frac{v}{u}\, dv} \\
&= \frac{1}{16}\int{v^2}\, dv\\
&= \frac{1}{16}\frac{v^{2+1}}{(2+1)} + C\\
&= \frac{v^3}{48} + C
\end{align}$$
Putting $v$ interms of $x$, you'll probably get the right answer.
$\dots$ Maybe taking $u=x^2+x+1$ would have been a better substitution.
Well, practice makes perfect! :D

With $\ds{\root{x^{2} + x + 1} = x + t}$ we'll get
$\ds{x = {1 - t^{2} \over 2t - 1}}$ such that

\begin{align}
&\color{#c00000}{\int\pars{4x + 2}\root{x^{2} + x + 1}\,\dd x}
=\int{32 t^{3} + 12t^{2} - 4 \over \pars{2t - 1}^{4}}\,\dd t
\end{align}

Now, we set $\ds{t \equiv {1 - a \over 2}}$. Then

\begin{align}
&\color{#c00000}{\int\pars{4x + 2}\root{x^{2} + x + 1}\,\dd x}
=\int\pars{{27 \over 16 a^{4}} - {a^{2} \over 16} + {9 \over 16a^{2}}
-{3 \over 16}}\,\dd a
\\[5mm]&=-\frac{a^3}{48}-\frac{9}{16 a^3}-\frac{3 a}{16}-\frac{9}{16 a}
\\[5mm]&=-\frac{1}{48} (1-2 t)^3-\frac{3}{16} (1-2 t)-\frac{9}{16 (1-2 t)}
-\frac{9}{16 (1-2 t)^3}
\\[5mm]&=-\frac{1}{48} \left[1-2 \left(\sqrt{x^2+x+1}-x\right)\right]^3-\frac{3}{16} \left[1-2 \left(\sqrt{x^2+x+1}-x\right)\right]-\frac{9}{16 \left[1-2 \left(\sqrt{x^2+x+1}-x\right)\right]}-\frac{9}{16 \left[1-2 \left(\sqrt{x^2+x+1}-x\right)\right]^3}\\[5mm]& + \mbox{a constant}

Q: SwiftUI: How to work with non-simulator supported frameworks and PreviewProvider? I'm working on a RealityKit app, and using SwiftUI.
Of course RealityKit view's does not work in the SwiftUI PreviewProvider preview. But my issue is that even simple and completely isolated SwiftUI views won't preview, since the PreviewProvider needs to compile the entire project.
My SwiftUI View classes aren't connected to ARView code in any way. It's enough if I just go "File" -> "New" and choose a SwiftUI file, and then try to preview that in the canvas (⌥ + ⌘ + ↵), without any changes. Then it will give me that error. Just the fact that there is any code in my .xcodeproj that is not supportet by the canvas preview, gives an error.
I get errors like this:
Value of type 'ARView' has no member 'installGestures'

My only two solutions for now is to 1) copy file to a Playground and experiment with it there, then copy back when finished. 2) comment out all unsupported RealityKit related code, before working on the view.
Q: Of course non of those solutions are optimal. Any better solutions out there?

A: I encountered the same issue. My solution was to use the targetEnvironment(simulator) compiler directive like so:
struct ContentView : View {

    var body: some View {
            #if !targetEnvironment(simulator)
            ARViewContainer()
                .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
                .statusBar(hidden: true)
            #endif
        }
    }
}

#if !targetEnvironment(simulator)
struct ARViewContainer: UIViewRepresentable {

    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> ARView {
        let arView = ARView(frame: .zero)

        // ARKit / RealityKit specific code
        ...

        return arView

    }

    func updateUIView(_ arView: ARView, context: Context) {}
}
#endif

Further reading: https://www.hackingwithswift.com/example-code/language/how-to-use-compiler-directives-to-detect-the-ios-simulator

A: While the new simulator in iOS 13 supports Metal, ARView requires an actual device to capture camera frames and generate sensor fusion data. And it has a ton of properties and methods that you would need to mock to allow interaction with other code.
Can you abstract ARView interaction between SwiftUI through a protocol implemented by another class, such as a UIView or UIViewController subclass? If the protocol is simple enough, you can create a class that can mock the interaction - responding to your SwiftUI views as if it was actually communicating with ARView, without implementing the entire ARView API.
Your SwiftUI views probably shouldn't be dealing with setup and arbitrary access to ARView's properties and methods directly. You can create a wrapper around an ARView and present application level logic and actions though Combine publishers and subscribers. A mock version of that wraps a UIView and has the same pub/subs can present simple visual cues, like change colors, to represent different states of the ARView, etc.


Learn Our History DVDs give children of all ages a chance to discover U.S. history like never before. Each episode follow a group of history students who've created an amazing time traveling bicycle that hey use to go back in time and experience history in the making. In this special collection, The Origins of America, young viewers get four fascinating Learn Our History episodes, including: "Columbus And The Great Discovery," "The Birth Of A Nation," "Winning Our Freedom," and "The Declaration Of Independence". Recommended for ages 6-14.
In Columbus and the Great Discovery the team of Time Traveling kids journeys to meet Columbus and the Vikings. As they ride along the ocean with these early explorers, they celebrate Columbus' discovery and tie his exploration to the spread of European traditions, customs, culture, religion, and Judeo-Christian values in the New World.

One Nation Under God, celebrates and explains the crucial role that God has played in America's founding and development - and helps children understand how all of our rights and freedom come directly from God, not the government. It's a great way to help your children understand how God and the Holy Bible have influenced our world.
This fascinating DVD follows the adventures of a group of time-traveling history students, who learn how America embraces our God-given freedoms and how God impacts our daily lives as Americans. Recommended for ages 6 to 14.


Remember the days when illnesses on TV simply made people sick? Happy times, huh? Now, they simply kill huge chunks of the Earth's population (The Last Ship), turn huge chunks of the Earth's population into zombies (The Walking Dead), turn huge chunks of the Earth's population into vampires (The Strain) or turn a few people into weird immortals who want to kill everyone else (Helix).
Now we have The Passage, in which we have a virus that turns a few people into weird, immortal, definitely-not-vampires who want to kill everyone else. There's new, hey?
It starts off with good scientist Henry Ian Cusick (Lost, The 100) heading off to South America to investigate a supposed 250-year-old man, hoping to find out the secret of his longevity. Unfortunately, it turns out that the secret is he's a vampire – don't say vampire – and he ends up biting Cusick's fellow scientist Jamie McShane (Bosch, Bloodline). McShane rapidly heals and equally rapidly becomes a bit odd, so he's shipped back home and locked up and experimented upon to see if the secret of his vampirism – don't say vampire – can be replicated and maybe made less 'vampirey' (don't say vampire).
After experimenting a lot on handy death-row prisoners, the scientists get their formula to the point that the vampires – don't – still look human, even if they do have to drink blood from time to time. But that's still not good enough and the scientists reckon that the problem is all their test subjects are too old. Stick the secret formula into a child and they might have a way of curing all diseases and death, all without the need to constantly crack open someone's vein for some top O-.
When a new avian flu pandemic for which there's no vaccine flares up in East Asia, morality about experimenting on kids quickly gets thrown aside as the Americans realise it might infect Americans. So they pick a test orphan (Saniyya Sidney) and dispatch ex-special forces soldier and Saved By the Bell star Mark-Paul Gosselaar to bring her in.
Unfortunately for them, he lost his own child three years previously and soon develops a bond with the girl. Despite not knowing exactly what they're up to, he quickly decides his bosses are evil and decides to ignore his orders and go on the run.
Which is probably just as well, because the new creatures of the day, not the night, definitely not the night, might also have psychic powers and are filling people's dreams with thoughts – thoughts that might include letting them out and infecting the human race with the new engineered strain of the disease.
However, given we're told by Sidney in voiceover at the beginning that "this is how the world ends", I wouldn't put all my money on Gosselaar succeeding in his quest, if I were you.
Loosely based on the trilogy of books by Justin Cronin – loosely in the sense that I can't imagine The Passage ever telling the story of what happens in the dystopian vampire future of 1,000 years from now after everything's gone to crap – The Passage does at least have more thought put into it than a whole bunch of shows, particularly ones on Fox, and does have decent interplay between its two lead character.
But that still can't cover the fact that it's slow-paced, not especially interesting or innovative, and is basically Believe again. At least, so far.
As with Ultraviolet, it tries very hard not to be about vampires and prohibits people from saying the v word because that would be silly; unlike Ultraviolet, it's still quite silly so not saying vampires feels dumb. They're vampires.
So on the plus side, I quite liked the fact you're not quite sure what the vampires are up to. You know they're up to something, at least in people's dreams, but you're not quite sure what. You're also not quite sure what the evil scientists – who at least think they're good – are up to and why they want Sidney in particular, for example. They've not told Gosselaar, so he's no help. I also liked the developing relationship between Sidney and Gosselaar, which isn't the tedious 'street kid v unfatherly man' fare you might be expecting – Gosselaar really does come across like a regular dad who knows how to deal with children.
But action scenes are mostly predictable and dull and you know you're off to a loser when a chase scene starts with the chasers sauntering. There's one or two fights that feel like someone thought a bit about them, but we're still hiding from 9mm rounds behind bits of wood and choosing to attack trained special forces guys bare-handed, rather than with guns. It's a bit pot luck whether you're going to get a smart or stupid fight, I'm afraid.
Meanwhile, there's a whole lot of conspiracy going around without it being clear what the conspiracy is. Everyone seems to know one another and may or may not be under the control of the vampires, but it's never clear who's actually running the show, what they want and why the people who aren't in the conspiracy are conspiring, too. If it's not the scientists, why do they want the girl? If it is the scientists, why is the fact the chief scientist (Caroline Chikezie) sleeping with evil bloke and Gosselaar pal Vincent Piazza such a revelation? It's all just a bit too nebulous.
Plus I'm not 100% sure that a bunch of scientists who so far have only managed to create more vampires with their solution might reckon it's a cracking idea to roll it out globally before they've even done Phase I trials of something stable. I think "let's try pretty much anything else" would probably be their go-to on that.
All of which makes The Passage at least feel a bit smarter than your generic action show and at least not as stupid as The Strain, but also quite a bit stupid, as well as quite dull and uninspiring. There's not really any more of a USP here than Believe had that would make me want to watch episode two.
That said, this trailer for the rest of the season does suggest the first episode is a bit deceptive in terms of the show's long-term plans, so I might just tune in to see what happens next, at least, because it might just be smart enough to surprise. Although maybe not with a millennium-long vampire dystopia. It is Fox.
