Q: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread-mt I am trying to link a project with the following command:
g++  build/test.o -o bin/test -pthread -L lib  -L /home/alexander/opt/lib -lboost_thread-mt

which results in the following errors:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread-mt
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

However, the boost libraries are installed in the directory /home/alexander/opt/lib. Why does the linker do not find the boost libraries? I also tried to link with -I instead if -L with the same outcome...
Content of /home/alexander/opt/lib is /home/alexander/opt/lib/boost_1_57_0.

A: change libboost_thread-mt to libboost_thread, first find the address of libboost_thread.so and libboost_thread.a then make softlinks to these files in the same address,
so it should be:
ln -s /...libboostSourceFiles.../libboost_thread.so /..RequestTOmtFiles.../libboost_thread-mt.so

it works for other libboost -mt files too, like serialization , iostreams, programoptions

The Client: Shepherd Neame | www.shepherdneame.co.uk
We worked with Shepherd Neame, located in Kent, on their YouTube activity to coincide with their Spitfire Ale ad campaign.
"Sleeping Giant Media are a highly professional agency with fantastic customer service. They implemented, streamlined and managed this campaign very well and we are extremely pleased with the results."
Polly Wann | Digital Manager | Shepherd Neame
Shepherd Neame operates 250 pubs across London and the South East and brews traditional Kentish ales and international lager under license.
Established in 1698, Britains oldest brewer is an independent family business based in Faversham, combining centuries of brewing expertise with modern, sustainable production methods.
The brewery's award-winning brands include Spitfire Premium Kentish Ale, Bishops Finger Strong Ale, and Ashai.
The Work & Our Approach
Shepherd Neame wanted to air their new Spitfire Ale ad campaign on YouTube. Sleeping Giant Media were tasked with setting up and running the YouTube activity to generate views of the commercials, increase visits to the website, raise brand awareness and to encourage the public to design their own adverts. The project also included data capture and engaging with users via social platforms such as Facebook.
Taking the videos Shepherd Neame had produced, we edited them to include more information and annotations, including links to their websites, other videos and social media channels. This was done to improve interaction and engagement via click-throughs.
Once the adverts were ready, they were set up on YouTube and paid search research was completed to source the best keywords for the campaign. The best advertising options were researched and implemented.
We built and ran pay per click (PPC) accounts through Google Ads for Video and included goals to measure the KPI's that the client had set.
The results of our work with Shepherd Neame…
of viewers clicked further through
Cost per click reduced by
increase in traffic to youtube channel
increase in unique visitors to site
Moving the paid search from what was AdWords to Video AdWords, and using a cost per mile (CPM) model rather than cost per click (CPC) reduced the cost per click by 81%.
For the duration of the campaign:
– Traffic to the YouTube channel was up 2,017%
– Unique visitors to the site were up 2,135%
– Page views were up 1,434%
As well as driving views of the commercials, we drove traffic to the website and specific brand landing pages that were requested. This also resulted in increased visits to the Shepherd Neame online shop. There was an uplift in people creating their own adverts and subscribers to both the Facebook and the YouTube channels.
Some of the videos used during the campaign and the views generated can be seen below:

Hello everyone and off we go with our very first newsletter for 2019! We are still only in January but Christmas seems yonks ago and our thoughts are now firmly focused on all that we have in store for 2019 and dare I say it 'Spring'. The family farm begin lambing fairly early, in fact the sheep are already in the sheds so with the lambs making their first steps in to our fields by February - soon after the daffodils appear - I feel confident in saying Spring is just around the corner. A brief catch up on the news from The Tythe Barn hub.
We sadly said goodbye to Karen at the end of last year from her long-standing role as office manager. Karen mentioned she was off to semi-retire but she also told us of her plans for various exciting projects she was hoping to dip her toes in to so I have a feeling she will be kept quite busy! Replacing Karen, as most of you will now know, is the lovely Marie. Marie joined us in early October and has already become totally immersed in office life and her wonderful smile and calm nature is now a regular fixture here at the barn. Alongside Marie we have Jackie who is combining her skills as one of our long-standing Function Managers with a few days in the office which Will and I feel creates a nice link around the planning and preparation communication between our wedding couples and the office.
The end of last year and the beginning of this year has also seen a lot of activity at the barn due to the wedding awards season. We are absolutely thrilled to have already been nominated, short-listed and winners of a number of awards with still more results to come. A highlight so far has to be our win at The Wedding Industry Awards as the 'Best Countryside Wedding Venue of the Year' in the South-Central region – a very large area of the UK, so rather proud of that one. We are shortlisted for Best Barn in the UK Wedding Awards, hosted by Hitched.com and You and Your Wedding Magazine and are through to the finals of Guides for Brides Customer Service Awards. We were also awarded the title of Most Outstanding Barn Wedding Venue – Oxfordshire by LUX Life Magazine (the digital luxury lifestyle publication) in the 2019 Best of the Wedding Industry Awards. LUX Life told us that the 2019 Best of the Wedding Industry programme has been designed to recognise the businesses and individuals who go above and beyond to make every wedding day special – those who help make the journey from engagement to becoming a married couple as perfect as possible.
2018 saw lots of projects taking place in and around the barn which we blogged about on our website. Do keep up to date with our blog if you can as we post regularly on all sorts of subjects with lots of news and info on the barn and our team here as well as providing our wedding couples with lots of insider tips and hints to help with their wedding planning.
The latest additions to the barn are our new festoon lights, set just under the thatch at the front of the barn. We have to admit they look rather gorgeous and are now a permanent fixture, all included within the venue hire, of course!
We have also finally found, after a lengthy search for exactly what we wanted, our garden outdoor wood burners which will be available to hire for your event or wedding day. These look great in the garden already but we are taking our time to create the right ambience and setting for them and for you so photos will go out on our social media and website soon however here is sneaky peak below. With the option to include extra seating, rugs and throws these fires are really going to set a lovely scene come late afternoon and evening.
We were also busy creating some new menu options with the caterers before Christmas and the new brochures will be with us shortly. There are some amazing new dishes and some rather fun elements added too, actually Will is attempting to build an appropriate BBQ from one of the old sheep feeders from the family farm as I write!! I'll keep you posted on his progress. It is also worth mentioning that whilst the barn has been a little quieter following Christmas and the New Year we have been far from putting are boots up, in fact we have been busying ourselves with all sorts of jobs and projects like planning and researching our new website, updating and fine tuning our office procedures and the lovely Phil and Holly have been and still are giving the whole venue a thorough spring clean. Each morning they are up to something...painting walls, sanding or varnishing wood, polishing, dusting fairy lights...the list goes on but it is these little details that allow The Tythe Barn to be the venue and place we all love it being!
Well, nearly time to round off although I'd like to point out that the barn will continue to support a number of charities and causes throughout 2019. We kick off this March with a Gala Ball for the Hummingbird – a local Launton charity, founded by Mechelle Harris and who together with her team of volunteers help support people who are or have been affected by cancer. Please do let us know if you would like tickets. We are also supporting the Launton Parish Hall (LPH) by hosting their Quiz Night so for any 'egg heads' (who are perhaps missing the buzz of all those festive quiz nights) if you'd like to help raise some much-needed funds for LPH, please do get in touch and as always... keep an eye on our Social Media for further details on all our events.
Finally, following the sad passing of Will's uncle – John Deeley – Will has stepped up to take over the role of Chairman of the Wooden Spoon Oxfordshire. The Wooden Spoon (with its rugby heritage driving the core values of Passion, Integrity, Teamwork and Fun) is a charity that changes children's lives through the power of rugby, with a mission to positively transform the lives of children and young people with a disability or facing disadvantage across the UK and Ireland. Each year they fund around 70 projects, from community programmes and specialist playgrounds to medical treatment centres and sensory rooms. With Will's strong connection to rugby (obsession...still playing at 49!!) and his passion for the causes the WS supports it seemed a natural progression for him to take over the reigns from his Uncle. Therefore we will continue to support the charity at the barn too with the first event being the 'Sportsman's Dinner' on May 9th 2019. This is followed later on in the year, October, by the Wooden Spoon Golf Tournament. If you are interested in supporting Will and the Wooden Spoon, perhaps by attending one of the events, please do get in touch with the office and Marie will let Will know.
Thanks for listening all and as always we send you lots of love from all of us here at The Tythe Barn, Launton!!

"AI's first half–century produced great accomplishments, but many of the field's successes have remained unsung beyond the AI community. AI's integration into the fabric of everyday life has had tremendous impact, but the public may not recognize its many roles or understand its fundamental goals. In response, AI Magazine has developed a poster to help educate students, faculty, and the public about AI and to spur them to find out more about the field.
The poster's design was based on input from experts on how to convey key aspects of AI and to capture the imagination of a broad audience. The design does not attempt the impossible feat of summarizing all of AI–or even a substantial part–in a single poster. Nor does it present a list of new advances, which would soon become obsolete. Instead, it presents a snapshot of a few aspects of AI selected to catalyze interest and to prompt viewers to find out more by exploring AAAI Web resources. The resulting poster, The AI Landscape, is inserted in this issue of the magazine. The AI Landscape provides a glimpse of AI's multifaceted role in service of society, an illustration of the types of questions being addressed by the field, and a pointer to Web resources including a timeline tracing the field's history."

NASL: Puerto Rico FC fires Whitbread and Sillett
by Paul Kennedy @pkedit, May 19, 2017
Last-place Puerto Rico FC, owned by NBA star Carmelo Anthony, fired head coach Adrian Whitbread and technical director Neil Sillett, who were both hired by the NASL team for its 2016 launch.
The firings came four days after a 4-3 loss to the New York Cosmos kept Puerto Rico FC in last place with three points in seven games.
"We want to thank Neil and Adrian for the role they played in building the inaugural Puerto Rico FC team," said PRFC president Tom Payne. "We truly appreciate their hard work and the passion they brought to their jobs every day. Unfortunately the results have not improved this season and it is time to make a change for the benefit of all parties."
Marco Velez will be the interim head coach and Jack Stefanowski will stay on as an assistant.
Puerto Rico FC finished ninth in the 11-team NASL in the fall standings. It didn't play in the spring half of the 2016 season.

Covid: Protests rock Chinese city after deadly fire
Posted by News Express | 26 November 2022 | 274 times
Videos shared on social media in China have appeared to show fresh protests against Covid restrictions, after an apartment block fire killed 10 people.
People in Urumqi are seen confronting officials, breaking down a barrier and shouting "end the Covid lockdown".
Infections have hit new highs in China in spite of a tough zero-Covid policy.
Authorities in Urumqi have now promised to phase out restrictions - though deny that these stopped people escaping Thursday's fire.
Restrictions have been in place in the city - capital of the western Xinjiang region - since early August.
The BBC was told by one resident in the aftermath of the incident that people living in the fire-hit compound had been largely prevented from leaving their homes.
That has been disputed by Chinese state media. However, Urumqi authorities did issue an unusual apology late on Friday - vowing to punish anyone who had deserted their duty.
Footage shared on Friday night showed residents, many of them in face masks, gathering after dark on the city streets.
They were seen chanting, pumping their firsts and arguing with officials. The location was verified by the Reuters news agency.
One demonstrator shouts through a megaphone, and in another clip, a crowd breaks through a barrier policed by city workers wearing protective gear.
Live streams monitored by the BBC on Friday night also appeared to show protesters gathered on the steps of a city government building.
The internet is heavily censored in China, and references to the Urumqi protests had largely been taken down by Saturday morning.
Local media said Thursday's deadly blaze at the Urumqi apartment block - which also injured nine people - appeared to have been caused by a fault with an electrical extension.
Online posts have suggested that firefighting efforts were hindered by Covid restrictions.
This has been denied by city officials, who sought to blame parked vehicles for stopping firefighters' access to the burning building.
In a press conference on Saturday morning, they announced a phased easing of lockdown conditions in parts of Urumqi deemed low-risk.
They did not refer to the demonstrations, but said that Covid cases in the community had been largely cleared and that "order" would be restored to the lives of the city's residents.
Large-scale, disruptive protests are rare in China, although there has been mounting public dissent aimed at Beijing's zero-Covid strategy.
This is the last policy of its kind among the world's major economies, and is partly due to the country's relatively low vaccination levels and an effort to protect elderly people.
Snap lockdowns have caused anger across the country - and Covid restrictions more broadly have trigged recent violent protests from Zhengzhou to Guangzhou.
In spite of the stringent measures, China's case numbers this week hit all-time records since the pandemic began.
The Xinjiang region is home to many Uyghurs, against whom the Chinese government has been accused of committing numerous human rights abuses - something it denies. (BBC)

In 2011, Ryan Karazija decided to change his homeland in the USA for the severe weather of Iceland, and this decision deeply impacted his music and what his main project Low Roar set out to become. What started as a good folk/americana output soon became much more, with the never ending winter vibes of the northern island influencing each chord progression, and imbuing the music's arrangements with the cold, clinical touch of electronic expressions. The formula reached its peak in the latest "Once in a Long, Long While…", the latest record by Karazija, and prominent reason for his first solo concerts in Portugal, in February.

The Bioblitz as a tool for engaging scientists and the public in invasive species monitoring
Iolanda Silva-Rocha, Quentin Groom, Sofie Meeus, Tim Adriaens
Onderzoeksoutput: Hoofdstuk in Boek/Rapport/Congresprocedure › Congres abstract in abstractproceedings
Bioblitz surveys are a citizen science methodology to record all the living species in an area within a limited timeframe. Simultaneously, organizers can raise awareness on biodiversity and environmental issues and participants can learn a lot about species and scientific methodology. The survey creates opportunities for engagement and interaction between scientists, naturalists, policymakers and local communities. Bioblitzes can have different formats and target different audiences depending on the aims. We performed a review of published Bioblitzes to assess how they are organized, if they accomplished their aims and to understand how the methodology contributes to better biodiversity knowledge. In parallel, as a case study, we analysed data from a bioblitz performed by the Alien-CSI project in Akrotiri peninsula, Cyprus. This bioblitz aimed at increasing the knowledge on alien species in this protected wetland site. Our review revealed that BioBlitz events are an effective way to discover new species in an area. However, most of the BioBlitz organizers only share a checklist with the species found and do not perform any extra analysis, such as comparing the list with species previously recorded. Information on the organization of the event (aims, target audience, engagement methods) itself is often missing which hampers evaluation of their effectiveness. During the Alien-CSI BioBlitz, most users contributed with plant and invertebrate records, taxa with more species and experts represented. Nevertheless, all major taxonomic groups were represented. The BioBlitz allowed detection of new species to the area. Some of these new species were alien to Cyprus, one of the focuses of the BioBlitz. To conclude, the BioBlitz was a success and in general Bioblitz events allow to engagement of people in observing species and adding new species records to the area. Our review will serve as a baseline to propose guidelines and best practices to future BioBlitz events.

Morality, Mortality: Volume I: Death and Whom to Save From It.F. M. Kamm - 1993 - Oup Usa.details
Why is death bad for us, even on the assumption that it involves the absence of experience? Whom should we save from death if we cannot save everyone? Kamm considers these questions, critically examining some answers other philosophers have given. She also examines specifically what differences between persons are relevant to the distribution of any scarce resources, e.g. bodily organs for transplantation.

Bioethical Prescriptions: To Create, End, Choose, and Improve Lives.F. M. Kamm - 2014 - Oup Usa.details
Bioethical Prescriptions collects F.M. Kamm's articles on bioethics -- revised for publication in book form -- which have appeared over the last 25 years and which have made her among the most widely-respected philosophers working in this field.
Morality, Mortality: Volume Ii: Rights, Duties, and Status.F. M. Kamm - 1996 - Oup Usa.details
This volume continues the examination of issues of life and death which F.M. Kamm began in Morality, Mortality, Volume I. Kamm continues her development of a non-consequentialist ethical theory and its application to practical ethical problems. She looks at the distinction between killing and letting die, and between intending and foreseeing, and also at the concepts of rights, prerogatives, and supererogation. She shows that a sophisticated non-consequentialist theory can be modelled which copes convincingly with practical ethical issues, and throws considerable (...) light on some of the key distinctions and concepts of ethical discourse.

Creation and Abortion: A Study in Moral and Legal Philosophy.F. M. Kamm - 1992 - Oxford University Press.details
Based on a non-consequentialist ethical theory, this book critically examines the prevalent view that if a fetus has the moral standing of a person, it has a right to life and abortion is impermissible. Most discussion of abortion has assumed that this view is correct, and so has focused on the question of the personhood of the fetus. Kamm begins by considering in detail the permissibility of killing in non-abortion cases which are similar to abortion cases. She goes on to (...) consider the case for the permissibility of abortion in many types of pregnancies, including ones resulting from rape, voluntary pregnancy, and pregnancy resulting from a voluntary sex act, even if the fetus is considered a person. This argument emerges as part of a broader theory of creating new people responsibly. Kamm explores the implications of this argument for informed consent to abortion; responsibilities in pregnancy that is not aborted, and the significance of extra-uterine gestation devices for the permissibility of abortion.

Almost Over: Aging, Dying, Dead.F. M. Kamm - 2020 - Oup Usa.details
This book is a philosophical discussion of moral, legal, and medical issues related to aging, dying, and death. One of its aims is to decide whether and when it might make sense to not resist or bring about the end of one's life. To answer this question it considers views about meaning in life and what makes life worth living. It also evaluates recent attempts to help the general public plan in advance for the end of life. It also considers (...) whether or not physician-assisted suicide is morally permissible and if it should be legalized. (shrink)

Ethics for Enemies: Terror, Torture, and War.F. M. Kamm (ed.) - 2011 - Oxford University Press.details
Ethics for Enemies comprises three original philosophical essays on torture, terrorism, and war. F. M. Kamm deploys ethical theory in her challenging new treatments of these most controversial practical issues. First she considers the nature of torture and the various occasions on which it could occur, in order to determine why it might be wrong to torture a wrongdoer held captive, even if this were necessary to save his victims. In the second essay she considers what makes terrorism wrong--whether it (...) is the intention to harm civilians, rather than harm to them being 'collateral damage,' or something else--and whether terrorism is always wrong. The third essay discusses whether having a right reason, in the sense of a right intention, is necessary in order for a war to be just. Kamm then examines ways in which the harms of war can be proportional to the achievement of the just cause and other goods that war can bring about, so as to make the declaration of war permissible. (shrink)
Ethics and Justification of War in Social and Political Philosophy
Aggregation and Two Moral Methods.F. M. Kamm - 2005 - Utilitas 17 (1):1-23.details
I begin by reconsidering the arguments of John Taurek and Elizabeth Anscombe on whether the number of people we can help counts morally. I then consider arguments that numbers should count given by F. M. Kamm and Thomas Scanlon, and criticism of them by Michael Otsuka. I examine how different conceptions of the moral method known as pairwise comparison are at work in these different arguments and what the ideas of balancing and tie-breaking signify for decision-making in various types of (...) cases. I conclude by considering how another moral method that I call virtual divisibility functions and what it helps reveal about an argument by Otsuka against those who do not think numbers count.

The Moral Target: Aiming at Right Conduct in War and Other Conflicts comprises essays that discuss aspects of war and other conflicts in the light of nonconsequentialist ethical theory. Topics include the relation between conditions that justify starting war and those that justify stopping it, the treatment of combatants and noncombatants in war, collaboration, justice after war and other conflicts, terrorism, resistance to communal injustice, and nuclear deterrence.

This article begins by comparing terror and death and then focuses on whether killing combatants and noncombatants as a mere means to create terror, that is in turn a means to winning a war, is ever permissible. The role of intentions and alternative acts one might have done is examined in this regard. The second part of the article begins by criticizing a standard justification for causing collateral (side effect) deaths in war and offers an alternative justification that makes use (...) of the idea of group liability.

Genes, Justice, and Obligations to Future People.F. M. Kamm - 2002 - Social Philosophy and Policy 19 (2):360-388.details
In this essay, I shall discuss ethical issues that arise with our increasing ability to affect the genetic makeup of the human population. These effects can be produced directly by altering the genotype , or indirectly by aborting, not conceiving, or treating individuals because of their genetic makeup in ways made possible by genetic pharmacology. I shall refer to all of these sorts of procedures collectively as the Procedures. Some of the ethical issues the Procedures raise are old, arising quite (...) generally when we can affect the well-being of people, even in the absence of the ability to affect them in the ways just described. My examination of these issues is prompted by the recent at-length discussion of them, From Chance to Choice , by Allen Buchanan, Dan Brock, Norman Daniels, and Daniel Wikler. (shrink)

Living High and Letting Die: Our Illusion of Innocence.F. M. Kamm & Peter Unger - 1999 - Philosophical Review 108 (2):300.details
Peter Unger's book has both substantive and methodological aims. Substantively, it aims to prove the following four claims in the following order: we must, in general, suffer great losses of property to prevent suffering and death; we may, in general, impose such losses on others for the same goals; we may, in general, kill others to prevent more deaths; and we must, in general, kill ourself to prevent more deaths. Methodologically, it aims to show that intuitive judgments about cases that (...) would be presented as evidence against the four substantive claims—the standard technique of nonconsequentialists arguing against consequentialists—are worthless because we can construct cases that generate the opposite intuitive judgment; further, we can show that the factors that distinguish the cases yielding such different intuitions are not morally significant; and hence, we must decide which judgments are correct by consulting such general moral values as the importance of reducing suffering and death. Thus, Unger offers an error theory of nonconsequentialist restrictions on harming others and prerogatives not to make large sacrifices to aid. This error theory is based on the psychological effects of morally insignificant factors. (shrink)

Moral Status and Personal Identity: Clones, Embryos, and Future Generations.F. M. Kamm - 2005 - Social Philosophy and Policy 22 (2):283-307.details
In the first part of this article, I argue that even those entities that in their own right and for their own sake give us reason not to destroy them and to help them are sometimes substitutable for the good of other entities. In so arguing, I consider the idea of being valuable as an end in virtue of intrinsic and extrinsic properties. I also conclude that entities that have claims to things and against others are especially nonsubstitutable. In the (...) second part, I argue that cloning poses no threat to the nonsubstitutability of these entities (and in this sense, to the dignity of persons). I also consider the relation between cloning and (what I called) holistic identity, and between the latter and genetic identity. In the concluding part of the article, I try to distinguish cases where identity over time and so-called person-affecting acts have and do not have greater moral significance than nonidentity over time and nonperson-affecting acts. I try to apply my results to cases involving embryos, future generations, and to the so-called Non-Identity Problem. (shrink)

The Technological Transformation Process From Electronic Intelligence to Cyber Intelligence
Ahmet Naci Ünal
Throughout the whole of human history, concepts such as defense, security, safety and intelligence have been very important for human beings on a personal level, and for human communities in general. The sociological transformation that came as a result of these processes played a key role in the development of science and technology. Thanks to the developments in electronic science during the 20th century, systems using electromagnetic energy have come to the fore. This development process which started with systems such as telephones, radios and radars has eventually been used in many different areas such as air defense systems, guided missiles, early warning receivers, communication systems, and computers. For this reason, the control and active use of what can be called the electromagnetic spectrum in short, has been an important factor in all kinds of activities. By the 21st century, almost all of the systems used in this process began to operate in a cyberspace environment and became software controlled. The concept of the target intelligence needed in this transformation process has changed dimensions and shifted from electronic intelligence to cyber intelligence. This study will focus on the transformation of the electronic intelligence process, which is an indispensable element of the 20th century, into the concept of cyber intelligence in the 21st century.

Q: Alterning a table that has spaces in its name I want to add 3 columns. There are two things that I dont know, one is how to specify a default value for each column, and then next is how to alter a table that has got spaces:
    ALTER TABLE  app name and url
ADD COLUMN price VARCHAR(200)
ADD COLUMN type_of_membership VARCHAR(200)
ADD COLUMN special_deal VARCHAR(200)

I get this error:

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'name and url ADD COLUMN price VARCHAR(200) ADD COLUMN type_of_membership VARCH' at line 1

I guess it is because I have a tables name with spaces.
Is this how you insert default values:
    ALTER TABLE  app name and url
ADD COLUMN price VARCHAR(200) DEFAULT 'None'
ADD COLUMN type_of_membership VARCHAR(200) DEFAULT 'None'
ADD COLUMN special_deal VARCHAR(200) DEFAULT 'None'

UPDATE
This is what I executed:
ALTER TABLE  `app name and url`
ADD COLUMN price VARCHAR(200) DEFAULT 'None',
ADD COLUMN type_of_membership VARCHAR(200) DEFAULT 'None',
ADD COLUMN special_deal VARCHAR(200) DEFAULT 'None';

and this is what I got:
 'mydb.app name and url' is not BASE TABLE

The error is because it is a view..I get it now. I will have to modify the view

A: In Mysql, you need to escape it using backtick (grave accent)
ALTER TABLE  `app name and url`
ADD COLUMN price VARCHAR(200)
ADD COLUMN type_of_membership VARCHAR(200)
ADD COLUMN special_deal VARCHAR(200)

What is the meaning of grave accent (AKA backtick) quoted characters in MySQL?
PS: Next time use only alphanumeric in your table and column name.

A: Use ``
You have to replace the table name with
 ALTER TABLE  `app name and url`

THE MOVIE — 3.75/5
Christopher Nolan is one of my favorite directors working today. From his Insomnia, the Batman Trilogy, Inception and more recently, Interstellar, these were damn good movies and Dunkirk is another solid entry on his impressive resume. However, I didn't think, considering the subject, it was as impactful as it could have been and lacked that emotional punch I expected (for comparison, I got more from that short sequence in Atonement).
In case you're not familiar with the story behind the "Battle of Dunkirk", put simply 400,000 British (and Allied) soldiers were stranded on a beach surrounded by German forces, staved only off on the ground by an armed perimeter, but faced firepower from the sky. The plot in the movie unfolds on land, sea and air. Royal Air Force Spitfires engage the enemy in the skies above the Channel, trying to protect the defenseless men below. Meanwhile, hundreds of small boats manned by both military officers and civilians are mounting a desperate rescue effort, risking their lives in a race against time to save even a fraction of their army.
One of the drawbacks of Dunkirk was the lack of much of any emotional connection with these characters. In the air, we follow ace pilots Farrier (TOM HARDY) and Collins (JACK LOWDEN) as they must both avoid being fired upon and take down those German planes; On the beach, there's Tommy (FIONN WHITEHEAD) and Gibson (ANEURIN BARNARD), two British soldiers, new to the scene, just trying to stay alive and get out anyway they can; and finally, on the sea we follow Mr. Dawson (JAMES D'ARCY), his son Peter (TOM GLYNN-CARNEY) and young boy George (BARRY KEOGHAN) who just wants to help, on the way they rescue a man (CILLIAN MURPHY) stranded in the Channel.
It's not that any of these actors gave poor performances, in fact Tom Hardy, once again mostly wearing a mask, was quite good in the limited role, but without knowing a thing about them, I couldn't have cared all that much for what happened to them. It's telling that I had more emotion seeing the short, one-shot, sequence in Atonement than I did with Dunkirk.
The second problem I had, and the biggest one keeping this from being something epic, was the editing. Yes, Christopher Nolan is known for non-linear filmmaking but in this case, not only does he cut back and forth on the three fronts (land, sea and air) but he places certain scenes out of order to the point where it kind of took away from the thrills and in fact impacted the overall pacing. Take for instance, there's a scene when the civilian boat rescues a group of men covered in oil, we then cut to how those men got in the water. I don't know, that kind of editing really hurt the film.
Third thing, and this is a bit minor, Hans Zimmer's score at times didn't seem to fit. I generally love Zimmer's work, everything from Gladiator, Interstellar, The Dark Knight and even Inception, was fantastic, I can't say anything here really stood out.
Okay, so with the bad out of the way, what did work was that it's an efficiently effective film. Clocking in at only about 100-minutes without credits, Nolan is laser-focused on the central narrative and that is, survival. He doesn't stray from that and muddle it with over-characterizations or spending time expanding on whoever they have waiting at home and whatnot and instead on the dire situation at hand and not only the steps taken to rescue the men, but what was at stake in terms of the war.
Dunkirk on a technical level is truly marvelous. Nolan's usage of, as much as possible, practical effects really gives this film a more realistic feel and in that respect, kept me engaged throughout in spite of lackluster characters. Of course, I do have a respect and fascination for anything to do with World War II so a movie like this captured my attention.
SPECIAL FEATURES – 4.0/5
This release comes with a glossy slip cover, inside is a Digital HD copy redemption code.
There is an extensive 5-part Making-of (1:49:46; HD) documentary — Creation, Land, Air, Sea and Conclusion — detailing the origins from Christopher Nolan and filming the various storylines. Includes interviews, some on-location, with the cast and crew and production stills.
4K VIDEO – 3.5/5, BD VIDEO – 5.0/5
Dunkirk arrives on 4K and Blu-ray presented in both 2.20 and, for IMAX sequences, 1.78 widescreen aspect ratios and a 2160p high-definition transfer (1080p for BD). This is a brilliant looking transfer, detail is generally exceptionally sharp, and colors are nice but thankfully not artificially ramped up (courtesy of HDR). I didn't notice any instances of banding, so there is fine transition like in the sky.
AUDIO – 5.0/5
I was initially confused, and even concerned, that both the 4K and BD only included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 tracks instead of DTS:X, Atmos or even 7.1 channels, but those concerns were eliminated once the war-action begins and my oh my does it sound amazing. The depth is absolutely incredible from the gunfire, bombs landing, planes engaged in action and more. The LFE channel does kick for that extra measure that will make your home theater come to life.
OVERALL – 4.25/5
Overall, Dunkirk might not be Christopher Nolan's strongest film, and given the subject it really should have been, and although it didn't connect to me on an emotional level, both in terms of characters or suspense-thriller aspects, it is still a technically well made film worth watching. This 4K release from Warner does offer up excellent video and audio transfers and a very nice making-of documentary.

· CNG stations inaugurated in Madhuvan Vihar and Khukari
· De-Compression Unit inaugurated at Mecon Colony for PNG Supply
Marking another significant milestone in the spread of the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga in Jharkhand, Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Raghubar Das, Hon'ble Union Minister of Tribal Affairs Shri Arjun Munda and Hon'ble Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas and Steel Shri Dharmendra Pradhan today launched supply of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), domestic Piped Natural Gas (PNG) and CNG-run vehicles in Ranchi.
GAIL (India) Limited is implementing the prestigious Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga and also the City Gas Distribution (CGD) projects in Ranchi and Jamshedpur. GAIL Chairman & Managing Director Dr Ashutosh Karnatak and Director (Finance) Shri A K Tiwari were present on the occasion.
The Hon'ble Ministers inaugurated CNG stations in Madhuvan Vihar and Khukari on August 23, 2019, at Ranchi. They also launched supply of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) to Domestic consumers in Shayamali Colony and CNG-run vehicles in the city.
Over the coming year, 11 CNG stations will be commissioned in Ranchi by GAIL to supply CNG to over 75000 vehicles.
Initially, natural gas will reach Ranchi in special containers called "cascades" which will be transported by road from Patna, Bihar. Later, Natural Gas will be supplied through the Jagdishpur – Haldia & Bokaro – Dhamra Natural Gas Pipeline (JHBDPL), popularly known as the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga. The pipeline is presently under construction and likely to be completed by 2020.
Three auto manufacturers M/s Piaggio, Bajaj and TVS have agreed for supplying CNG auto vehicles. Awareness programmes are also being conducted for Auto Rickshaw owners and drivers for the smooth transition to the use of CNG.
CNG is one of the most environment-friendly fuels as compared to conventional fuels because it has no impurities such as sulphur or lead. It is safe because it is lighter than air and rises up in case of leakage. Moreover, it is unlikely to ignite because of high ignition temperature. It is also economical as compared to conventional fuels.
The commencement of supply of CNG is a major step towards the fulfilment of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's dream of developing a gas-based economy and linking Eastern India to the country's Natural Gas Grid through the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga, which will pass through six states, i.e. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha West Bengal and Assam. Laying of 551 KM of Pipeline of this project will be done in Jharkhand. This pipeline will lead to the industrial development of eastern India.
In coming years, 22 CNG stations will be commissioned in Jharkhand (Ranchi & Jamshedpur) by GAIL to supply CNG to over 1.25 Lakhs vehicles and Piped Natural Gas (PNG) supply to 10.46 Lakhs households. CGD projects in Ranchi and Jamshedpur are being taken up in parallel with the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga pipeline. In Jharkhand, the Natural Gas Pipeline will be constructed at an estimated investment of Rs 4,366 crores and have a length of about 551 km covering 12 districts i.e. Chatra, Giridih, Hazaribagh, Bokaro, Ramgarh, Dhanbad, Saraikela, Ranchi, Khunti, Gumla, Simdega and East Singhbhum.
The overall capital expenditure for the Ranchi and Jamshedpur CGD projects will be Rs. 1,500 crores of which Rs 450 crores will be spent in the next three to five years.
The JHBDPL will provide a major boost to industries in eastern India and will supply Natural Gas for the revival of fertilizer plants in Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Barauni (Bihar), and Sindri (Jharkhand). In addition, Matix Fertilizer at Durgapur (West Bengal) will also be provided natural gas. The revival of these fertilizer plants would result in an additional annual production capacity of 75 lakh tonne would be created, making India self-reliant in meeting the annual domestic demand.
Dr. Ashutosh Karnatak assumes charge as Chairman & Managing Director, GAIL

Walker Buehler heads to DL with microfracture in right rib
By Bill BaerJun 12, 2018, 9:21 PM EDT
Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images
The Dodgers announced on Tuesday that starter Walker Buehler has a microfracture in his right rib and has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. Pitcher Caleb Ferguson has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
There is currently no timetable for Buehler's return. He apparently suffered the injury several starts ago but was able to pitch through it for a while.
Buehler, 23, has been terrific through nine starts this season, posting a 2.63 ERA with a 54/11 K/BB ratio in 51 1/3 innings. He tossed six hitless innings against the Padres on May 4, which turned into a combined no-hitter with Tony Cingrani, Yimi Garcia, and Adam Liberatore.
Ferguson, 21, will start in Buehler's place against the Rangers on Tuesday night. He has already made one start this season — his major league debut. He went 1 2/3 innings against the Pirates last Wednesday, yielding four runs on two hits and three walks with three strikeouts. In 47 innings in the minors, mostly with Double-A Tulsa, he compiled a 1.53 ERA with 52 strikeouts and 17 walks.

How The Online World Is Taking Over
14 May 2018 Dan
The Growth of Gamers
Playing video-games is something everyone does at some point or another, especially when we feel tired or stressed. For instance, take a look at the number of online console gamers. It is expected to grow to over 57 million by 2020, according to Statistica.
Knowing these numbers, many entertainment companies reached great success. Like Activision Blizzard Inc which is in constant progresses. This company is still expanding, having over 9,000 employees by the end of 2017.
Gambling in the Online World
Indeed, with the online gamble industry is the same story. Online casinos gain terrain over land based casinos every year. Moreover, there are countless games of chance. The most iconic gamble machine is of course the one armed bandit. A metal lever and fruit symbols were enough to entertain us for over a century.
Today, slots are decorated with flashy lights, fancy symbols and many bonuses. However, there is a slot game that remains faithful to the old fruit machine. I'm talking about Sizzling Hot Online, which is a slot that looks just like an old machine. With its simplistic fruit symbols and less bonuses to focus on, this virtual reel is a classic. The game has two main versions, Sizzling Hot Quattro and Sizzling Hot 6 Extra. The first one is about spinning four sets of reels with a single bet and the other is about having an extra reel.
There are many casinos that offer this game, but StarGames is the one to look for. Since 2002, this gamble house earned its high reputation through good content.
In 2015, 43% of the world population was connected to the internet. Within a year, this percentage increased to 47%. Therefore, either we talk about stores, playing games or watching movies, we will agree that the online world has great perks that make our lives easier.
