Q: Javascript and Multiple Check All boxes I an having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to have multiple check all boxes work on the same page. We have had developers over the years build and add to the code.
But what this is meant to do is have one report of users and a check box next to the beginning of each row. These boxes can be checked to add multiple users to a temporary group. But at the top there is checkbox that acts as a check all box.
The dilemma is I have created multiple groups of users. The top check all box as you can imagine checks all the user boxes. What I would like to do is have the top check all box check the boxes for just that section.
Here's an example of what it looks like:

The problem is I am not that good at javascript but have spent hours trying to work with the code to have just Accepted/Confirm SMS check all box check the boxes below it. And so forth.
Here is the code for the Accepted/Confirm SMS section:

        <cfif This.CanManageUsers or This.CanSendAlerts>

So what the file references at the top is basic include:
<cfset var adHocGroupRenderer = Application.ComponentFactory.CreateAdHocGroupRenderer() />

And here is the functions that are referenced:
<cffunction name="RenderCheckbox" access="public" returntype="void" hint="Renders a Subscriber checkbox." output="true">
    <cfargument name="subscriberID" type="numeric" required="yes" hint="The subscriber ID to render checkbox for.">
    <cfoutput>
        <input type="checkbox" value="#subscriberID#" name="subscriberID" class="selectRow" />
    </cfoutput>
</cffunction>

<cffunction name="RenderCheckAll" access="public" returntype="void" hint="Renders the check all checkbox." output="true">
    <cfoutput>
        <input type="checkbox" value="" id="checkAllSubscriberIDs" name="checkAllSubscriberIDs" />
    </cfoutput>
</cffunction>

<cffunction name="RenderActions" access="public" returntype="void" hint="Renders the action buttons (at the beginning just add button)." output="true">
    <cfoutput>

            <input type="button" name="addToAdHocGroupButton" value="Add to Temporary Group" id="addToAdHocGroupButton" />

    </cfoutput>
</cffunction>

<cffunction name="RenderScript" access="public" returntype="void" hint="Renders the javascript needed." output="true">
    <cfoutput>

    </cfoutput>
</cffunction>

I know the answer is in here somewhere but I just can't figure it out.
Here is the source code from the browser once it's built:

I know its a lot to review but I'm hoping it is something simple I am missing. Any suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!!!

A: I will give you enough so you can learn how to fish, so-to-speak. First you need a high level of control in JavaScript in order to know what is going on event wise:
var option = {};

window.onclick = function(event)
{
 option.click = event.target;

 if (event.target.nodeName == 'input' && event.target.getAttribute('type') == 'checkbox')
 {
  //See notes from this point.
 }
}

Now software varies greatly. In my case I'd simply use push_current_id() to get the id of the current page, iterate over id_(push_current_id()).tag_('form') until I found is_node_parent(event.target,id_(push_current_id()).tag_('form')[i]). Here is that function:
function is_node_parent(node_find,node_parent)
{
 var nf = false;
 var nc = false;
 var error = false;

 if (typeof node_find=='string')
 {
  if (id_(node_find)) {nf = id_(node_find);}
  else {error = 'Developer Error: you must first verify that the node_find id '+node_find+' exists before calling is_node_parent().';}
 }
 else {nf = node_find;}

 if (typeof node_parent=='string')
 {
  if (id_(node_parent)) {nc = id_(node_parent);}
  else {error = 'Developer Error: you must first verify that the node_parent id '+node_parent+' exists before calling is_node_parent().';}
 }
 else {nc = node_parent;}

 if (error) {dialog.alert(error);}
 else if (is_not_null(nf) && is_not_null(nc) && nc.compareDocumentPosition)
 {
  try {var r = nc.compareDocumentPosition(nf);}
  catch (e)
  {
   if (arguments.callee.caller.toString())
   {
    var f = arguments.callee.caller.toString();

    if (f.split('function ')[1])
    {
     f = f.split('function ')[1];

     if (f.split('(')[0]) {f = f.split('(')[0];}
    }
   }
   else {f = 'unknown';}

   report_bug('is_node_parent','Called by '+f+'(); '+e+'.');
  }

  r = (r==20 || r==0) ? true : false;
 }
 else
 {
  console.log(is_node_parent.arguments.callee.caller.toString().split('function '));
  dialog.alert('Error: is_node_parent error, find: '+node_find+', node_parent = '+node_parent+'.');
 }

 return r;
}

Here you can extend the DOM (e.g. how I use id_().tag_()):
Object.prototype.tag_ = function(t) {return (this.getElementsByTagName && this.getElementsByTagName(t) && this.getElementsByTagName(t).length > 0) ? this.getElementsByTagName(t) : false;}

So with this code you're iterating over each form element trying to see (from within window.onclick event handler) if the form[i] is the parentNode that contains the clicked element (event.target).
Once you find that element then you simply iterate over all of the inputs that have .getAttribute('type') == 'checkbox' and .setAttribute('checked') = true;.


A threatened Grimsby secondary school will stay open thanks to public pressure, council officials have said.
Education chiefs had considered shutting Whitgift School despite protests from parents and pupils.
North East Lincolnshire Council said there were thousands of spare school places in Grimsby because of falling pupil numbers.
Now it has decided to keep the school open - but others across the town will have to be downsized.
Plans are still in place to close St Mary's Catholic School and Matthew Humberstone Church of England School in their current form and open a new joint church school at Chatsworth Place, Cleethorpes.
The council predicts that if nothing is done, there could be 34% surplus places in the area's secondary schools by 2016.
Government regulations say there should be a surplus of no more than 10% within an authority's schools because it would waste too much money.
Council chiefs launched a consultation last year, asking people to comment on the plans.
The latest plans are expected to be agreed at a meeting of the council's ruling cabinet on Thursday.
Margaret Cracknell, children's services spokeswoman, said: "The reorganisation of the second school estate is of paramount importance to the future of our community.
"This is a very exciting time for North East Lincolnshire's schools.
"We have welcomed the views of the local community throughout this process and are pleased with the result.
"We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reform and redesign the pattern of secondary education for our pupils."
Campaigners who fought against the plans to close Whitgift had feared pupils would have to travel further to school.
Chris Dixon, chair of governors at the school, told BBC Radio Humberside she was "absolutely elated" at the news.
She said: "We believe we fought a strong campaign.
"All the staff and governors wanted was to keep the school open and we believe this is one of the best in Grimsby.
"Geographically, it's sensible to keep Whitgift open. We have made that point and people have listened."

Kyle Hunter
Florida vs. Iowa, 01/02/2017 13:00 EDT, Score: 30 - 3
Total: -110/+41 Under
Sportsbook: Bovada
*3 Star Play Under* The Florida Gators and Iowa Hawkeyes meet up in the Outback Bowl on Monday afternoon. Since neither team ever really thought they had a chance for bigger things, I expect both teams to be motivated for this game.
Iowa was trashed by Stanford in the Rose Bowl last year, and the Hawkeyes players desperately want to finish the season better than they did last year.
Florida ranks tenth in the nation in yards per play allowed on the year. Florida is well balanced on defense and it certainly helps that they are healthier than they have been defensively in a very long time.
Iowa started the year poorly on defense, but they played great on this side late in the year. The Hawkeyes finished the season ranked 24th in yards per play allowed in the country. In their last three games, they allowed 3.30 yards per play (Michigan), 3.05 yards per play (Illinois), and 3.19 yards per play (Nebraska).
Both of these teams rank in the bottom 30 in the country in terms of tempo. This one will be played at a very slow pace. Also, Iowa runs the ball on 60.14% of plays and Florida runs it on 50.6% of plays.
A lot of running, two solid defenses, and a slow pace. Those are all big positives when taking an under. This is a really low total, but it is low for a reason. My number here was 36.
Take the under.

This project was initiated to provide additional car parking and to establish safe accessible pedestrian access to new hospital facilities. The project provided the opportunity to revitalise the existing site landscape and provide a series of new outdoor spaces for staff and visitors to use and enjoy.
At the outset of the project the site and buildings were very vulnerable to serious damage from extreme storm water events. Aquatic Systems Management provided best practice water sensitive urban design solutions to enable the new landscape to better accommodate flood events and to harvest storm water for reuse.
The project also provided an improved landscape for the Mental Health Unit that was developed in close consultation with Unit staff.

The Kid Who Would Be King starring child actor Louis Ashbourne Serkis as Alex, is definitely a movie for kids, but a movie that adults and parents should take kids to see, because as the line that precedes the movie title reads, "Evil Gets Schooled". Evil in various elementary forms does in fact get schooled in this movie. Directed by helmer of Attack The Block, Joe Cornish, who also wrote Ant-Man and The Adventures of Tin Tin, this movie is an analogy to the story of King Arthur for adults, but a modern day adventure for kids who may not be or are just becoming aware of King Arthur and the Knights of the round table story.
The movie begins with a quick back story of King Arthur's battle with his half-sister Morgana, who although defeated, has vowed revenge on the land. Fast forward to present day and we find school kid Alex and his best friend Bedders, played by Dean Chaumoo, dealing with being bullied by some of their fellow school mates. But Alex is not one to shy away from a fight and let's everyone know there's definitely a fire inside of him. It's that fire that drives and delivers Alex to his destiny of finding Arthur's sword and the modern re-imagining of King Arthur and his Knights in the guise of himself and his school friends. There's many life lessons for kids to learn and relate to in this movie. From several examples of leadership, feeling powerless, acts of selflessness, teamwork, and using one's enemies to accomplish your goals and turning them into friends at the same time.
Rounding out the cast are Alex's school mates, Lance (Tom Taylor), Kaye (Rhianna Dorris), Young Merlin (Angus Imrie), Alex's Mom (Denise Gough), evil sorceress Morgana (Rebecca Ferguson), and Adult Merlin (Patrick Stewart). While it would have been nice to have seen more of Stewart as Merlin, and more villainy from Ferguson's Morgana, this is clearly a movie about the kids and what they have to deal with in this world, and ironically, its the same themes that play out in our own lives as adults. And as Alex is told early in the movie, the world is not going to change, it is you that has to change. An important platitude for anyone to grasp young or old.
The Kid Who Would Be King is fun, humorous, fantastically adventurous, but teaching the audience some lessons in life and people, all at the same time. If you have kids, and are looking to drop your kids off at the movie theater, or want to take your kids to a movie and have them learn something valuable while being entertained, then The Kid Who Would Be King is by far a good choice. After seeing this movie, audiences won't exit the theater a king, queen, or member of royalty. But if they pay attention to what's being said, they'll leave feeling like a graduate of charm school. The Kid Who Would Be King is now playing in theaters! Go check it out!
Next Post We're all on a journey we've never been on before because life is living with uncertainty.

A sweeter Honeycomb?
As with all Android devices, setup and synchronization was simple: After inputting my Google account credentials, the system automatically imported my preferences from my Android phone. It pulled over all of my emails, contacts and calendar information -- even the home screen wallpaper I had set on another device. Apps that I had downloaded to other devices appeared within five to 10 minutes. The Tab easily synced up with my Chrome browser bookmarks and with my recently created Google Music account, too. Thanks to the latter connection, I was able to stream anything from my entire music collection within minutes of turning the tablet on -- no waiting or downloads required.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 runs Android 3.1, the updated version of Honeycomb released by Google one month ago. With the 3.1 release, Honeycomb has evolved tremendously from its initial rough-around-the-edges form. The system is smoother, and glitches present in the early release have largely been ironed out. A smattering of new features is also available, including the ability to resize home screen widgets and to turn the tablet into a fully functioning USB host, capable of connecting to cameras, keyboards, joysticks and other external devices.
The Galaxy Tab currently runs a stock version of Honeycomb (Android 3.1); however, Samsung may add its TouchWiz overlay later.
(For a more thorough overview of the operating system and how it differs from Apple's iOS, see my full Android Honeycomb review.)
In its rush to get 3.1 on the Tab, Samsung opted to ship the device with stock Honeycomb, leaving off its trademark TouchWiz overlay for now. If you like a "pure" Google experience, though, you may be in for a disappointment.
First of all, while the new Tab is lacking Samsung's full custom interface, the company did -- contrary to initial impressions -- make some subtle modifications to the OS. Most immediately noticeable, the default Honeycomb camera app is replaced with a Samsung alternative. I wouldn't say it's really better or worse in any significant way; it's just different -- and that's the problem. Samsung's camera app is inconsistent with the overall Honeycomb interface; unlike the rest of the system, it doesn't have the standard set of navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen to let you step back, return to the home screen, or multitask. This inconsistency hurts the user experience and makes me wonder why Samsung meddled with the software in the first place.
Other OS modifications include the addition of a Samsung virtual keyboard, which uses Nuance's XT9 text-prediction technology. It is set as the primary keyboard by default, though you can switch back to the standard Honeycomb keyboard if you prefer. (Personally, I found the regular Honeycomb version easier to use.) Samsung also added in a setting that lets you specify separate wallpapers for your home screen and lock screen -- a fine if somewhat unnecessary feature.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a handful of Samsung-added apps preinstalled, all of which are set as system applications and thus are unremovable. These include Samsung's Music Hub, a rather clunky and superfluous Samsung app store, and a couple of third-party programs for word processing and news.
Hang on, though: This stuff is all small potatoes compared to the Samsung software modifications on the way. The company still plans to add its TouchWiz user interface onto the Galaxy Tab 10.1; the interface will be sent as an over-the-air update to Tab users at some point "in the near future." The update will integrate the company's full custom UI into the Android software, adding such features as a dock-style app tray for quick access to commonly used applications, a series of custom apps and widgets for the home screen, and seamless access to Samsung mobile services like Media Hub, Social Hub and Allshare.
Prerelease previews indicate the TouchWiz-enabled Tab will have a redesigned e-mail app and a revamped system settings menu as well.
Tablets galore

So are those modifications good or bad? That depends on your preferences. Some people think manufacturer-added skins like Samsung's TouchWiz enhance the software and make for a better experience; others, myself included, tend to view them as unnecessary clutter with unfortunate repercussions. User experience aside, manufacturer-added skins have the potential to cause delays in future Android upgrades, since manufacturers have to spend extra time baking their modifications into each release before it can be distributed. The fact that Samsung decided to temporarily remove its TouchWiz UI from the Tab in order to get the 3.1 update ready fast seems to reinforce this notion.
Samsung says it hasn't yet determined how the upgrade will work and whether users will be given a choice to stick with the stock Honeycomb experience. Consider, though, the extra time and expense it would require for the company to support and upgrade two separate paths of software for the life of the device. Anything's possible, but that certainly doesn't seem probable.
(Incidentally, someone from Samsung told PCWorld that the company may let users "opt to use elements of [TouchWiz]" after the update. I suspect that means you might end up being able to knock out things like the widgets and added apps but would be stuck with the OS-level modifications. We'll find out for sure soon enough; for now, the take-home message is that there is no guarantee.)

FIFA Should Listen to Families of Qatar's Migrant Workers
Provide Remedy for Abuses Before 2022 World Cup
Deputy Director, Middle East and North Africa Division
@MichaelARPage
Mairul Khatun recalls panicking when she could not contact her husband, Mohammad Naddaf, a migrant worker in Qatar, for four days. A search team of friends and relatives found his body four days later.
"His body was in no condition to be brought back [to Nepal]," Mairul said. "I didn't get to see him. They did his burial [in Qatar]."
But the horror did not end there. According to Mairul's brother, Mohammad's employer in Qatar refused to provide any compensation and did not bother to check on the family after his death.
#PayUpFIFA
Migrant workers who delivered the FIFA World Cup in Qatar suffered harm. Tell FIFA to Pay up.
Stories like Mairul's are sadly commonplace. In the past decade, thousands of migrant workers have died in unexplained circumstances in Qatar, while many more have faced other serious abuses while literally building the FIFA 2022 World Cup. Many have not received any redress.
Now, six months before the tournament kicks off, FIFA and Qatari authorities need to stop making excuses and start providing remedy for the migrant workers harmed and their families. FIFA and Qatar's World Cup legacy will depend on their response to this decade of abuse. They can start by listening to migrant workers' stories.
They should listen to people like Manju Devi, widow of Kripal Mandal, who lost his life in Qatar. Not only was she not provided any compensation for his death, his employer failed to pay the 15 days' salary Kripal was owed for work he had completed. Now his wife is overwhelmed by the debt her late husband took on to secure his job in Qatar.
For every family willing to share their story publicly, there are many coping silently with similar catastrophic losses.
Mairul Khatun and Manju Devi are now trying to ensure their children do not have to go to sleep with an empty stomach. The hundreds of thousands of migrant workers who built the roads, airport, metro, and stadiums essential to FIFA and Qatar pulling off the 2022 World Cup deserve recognition, dignity, and direct financial compensation for harms endured. Otherwise, this World Cup will remain haunted by the deaths of workers and the many other abuses that have left families destitute.

The refreshed Toyota 86 gets lower gearing, Track Mode, changed suspension and more
27 May 2016 Robert Pepper
Our conversation with Tetsuya Tada revealed some details of the refreshed Toyota 86 due later this year.
AT THE RECENT Festival of 86, we had the chance to talk to Tetsuya Tada at length about his views on sportscars, the 86 and what makes a car fun.
We also asked about the refreshed 86, and we asked exactly what had been changed:
Tada-san's first answer was that "the rigidity is better", explaining that this was achieved through a new method to construct the body panels, however the weight remains the same.
The suspension tune has also been modified, as you'd expect given a more rigid body. One interesting change is the use of a slightly lower final drive, from 4.1 to 4.3. A final drive is the reduction ratio in the differential, and this change means that all six gears will be lower. That should marginally improve the 0-100 time (for whatever that's worth, it'll give the measurbators something to post about) as the car needs a change to third just before 100km/h anyway. The downside of this change is that freeway cruising will be slightly noisier as the revs will be higher…but you don't buy an 86 to cruise in top gear so that's not really a concern.
A 4.3 ratio isn't as low as some are going in the aftermarket (4.55 or even 4.8), but it is good news and should make some of the not-sure-if-second-or-third corners just a bit easier, especially combined with the slight extra power – another 4kW and 9Nm. It's not clear where the gains have been found but Tada-san confirmed there was a new intake and exhaust design.
Tada-san also says that the torque curve is now "better", so with the new gearing and engine tweaks we're hoping the refreshed 86 will be more of a change than we first thought.
Another change is the electronics. Tada-san says "the stability control [VSC in Toyota-speak] is improved, the controller has a new rhythm." At present the 86 has three basic modes of stability control – normal, Sport and Off. There's also an engine traction control button but that's completely useless. In the refresh, Sport Mode is gone, replaced by a Track Mode, and Tada-san says it will be smoother and improved. The current Sport mode is effective, but compared to other sportscars is somewhat abrupt in its operation…nothing, nothing then on. Still, on a fast race track like Phillip Island I've found no difference in laptimes with VSC Sport engaged or VSC entirely off as by the time VSC Sport kicks in you're sufficiently sideways to be slow anyway, at least on a fast track.
One problem with the 86 for lovers of motorkhanas and autocrosses is the electric power steering becoming overwhelmed so it was good to hear there is an upgrade on the new model.

"The Elephant and its Keeper" - A Short Story by Akiyuki Nasaka- 2003. translated from the Japanese by Ginny Tapley Takemari
The Emissary by Yoko Tawada - 2014 - translated by Margaret Mitsutani
The Emissary by Yōko Tawada, translated from The Japanese by Margaret Mitsutani, won The 2018 National Book Award for Best Translated Literature. It potrays a Japan after some sort of tremendous ecological decay which causes children to be born weak, deformed with little capacity for positive development. The older citizens, sixty plus or so, keep getting stronger as they age. People are triving at 120. Japan has become completely isolationist. Using foreign words is illegal. Every thing is just totally weird. The story centers on a deformed boy and his great grandfather. The older man has great strength of character trying to cope.
The very real pleasure to be found in The Emissary is in learning about the super imaginative dexriptions of the bizzare transformations in Japanese society.
Called "magnificently strange" by The New Yorker and frequently compared to Kafka, Pynchon, and Murakami, Yoko Tawada (b. 1960) is one of the most creative, theoretically provocative, and unflinchingly original writers in the world. Her work often deals with the ways that nationhood, languages, gender, and other types of identities affect people in contemporary society, especially in our postmodern world of shifting, fluid boundaries. She is one of the rare writers who has achieved critical success writing in two languages, both in her native Japanese and in German, the language of the country where she has lived since 1982. Five volumes of her work in English translation have been published by New Directions and Kodansha, and her work has been translated into many other languages. Her numerous literary prizes in both Japan and Europe include the Gunzo Prize for New Writers for "Missing Heels," the Akutagawa Prize (Japan's most important prize for young writers) for "The Bridegroom Was a Dog," the Adelbert von Chamisso Prize for her contributions to German-language literature, the Izumi Kyōka Prize, and the Goethe Medal.

Comedian Jackie Gleason had a well-rated variety show in 1955 that he gave up in favor of playing just one character: Ralph Kramden, a bickering bus driver who was the centerpiece of a new situation comedy, "The Honeymooners." It was a bold move, but Gleason had already created the four core characters in CBS' "Jackie Gleason Show," and he understood the power a strong character and a continuing storyline can wield. While "The Honeymooners" didn't catch on as he'd hoped — the groundbreaking sitcom finished after only 39 episodes — the episodes gathered a cult following and are now revered as some of America's best classic television.
Because of his radio background, Gleason understood how well-written sitcoms can capture America's imagination. The pleasing mixture of a continued storyline, running gags and ever-evolving characters resonates with viewers, and the genre has become a staple of the American television landscape.
Societal changes are often mirrored in the subject and placement of situation comedies. In the 1940s and '50s, most half-hour comedies centered around a married couple or couples. As the fabric of American society began to morph, however, so did our entertainment. In the 1960s, sitcoms began to focus on single-parent or blended families or whole communities. "The Andy Griffith Show," for example, featured a widower trying to raise a young son in a rural town: Mayberry, North Carolina.
In the 1980s and 90s, many sitcoms were built around a single comedian and his stand-up comedy. Perhaps the prime example was Bill Cosby, a perennial favorite on the small screen, who wrote, produced and starred in "The Cosby Show," a barrier-bending sitcom about an upper-middle-class African-American family.
Whatever the decade, the sitcom has always mirrored America's changing societal landscape and our expectations of ourselves and others.
This groundbreaking sitcom focused primarily on the relationship between two couples. The humor was raw and sometimes very dark, but the show highlighted Jackie Gleason's bombastic comedy style and the sharp chemistry between the four actors: Audrey Meadows, Art Carney, Jackie Gleason and Joyce Randolph. On the air in 1955, the show played on traditional gender roles. Kramden was portrayed as big, blustery oaf, who was contrasted by his wife, Alice, who portrayed as the more intelligent, craftier partner. From "The Honeymooners" came several lines of dialogue that wormed their way into the mainstream lexicon, including "To the moon, Alice!" and "Baby, you're the greatest."
"[Gleason] was a guy who was an enormously great actor and a gifted, gifted comedian," says entertainer Tony Orlando. "And there was nothing that he ever did that … you didn't go 'Whoa!'"
Unlike most sitcoms before it, "The Andy Griffith Show" didn't center on a married couple or family, but a whole rural community and the quirky characters that populated Mayberry, North Carolina. Southerner Andy Griffith played the straight character — sheriff Andy Taylor — to the town's comic residents. The combination worked, and the show was a hit, spawning a series of sitcoms that were based on the eccentricities of rural communities.
"The Andy Griffith Show" was also a trendsetter in the way it was filmed. Instead of using a set and studio audience, the show used several cameras, and the actors worked on an actual replica of a small town, so scenes could take place inside and outside various buildings. Griffith hated the idea of a studio audience. To him, live audiences created pressure for a steady stream of one-liners that inhibited subtle character development. So the Andy Griffith show was shot with no audience, like a film, giving the cast and writers much greater freedom.
"So Don and I can do these little quiet scenes — or me and Ronnie, or me and Aunt Bea, or Floyd the barber … any of those. We could do these long, little nice scenes without having to go for a joke," recalls Griffith.
Another payoff from this groundbreaking sitcom? Many of the ensemble cast members became stars in their own right. Don Knotts, who played bumbling deputy Barney Fife, and Jim Nabors, who was cast as the earnest Gomer Pyle, each found much success beyond "The Andy Griffith Show." Ron Howard, who played Sheriff Taylor's son, Opie, is a respected director.
Actor Dick Van Dyke grew up on a steady diet of Laurel and Hardy slapstick comedies, so when writer and producer Carl Reiner cast him as the stumbling husband, Rob Petry, next to newcomer Mary Tyler Moore, in his new program, "The Dick Van Dyke Show," the young actor got the chance to use his physical comedy abilities.
"Rob Petry wasn't supposed to have been a klutz in the beginning," recalls Van Dyke. "Carl [Reiner] knew I loved to do the physical stuff, and he wrote that in, or he would just say 'Dick does five minutes here' and let me come up with something."
Reiner also recognized Moore's burgeoning talent and began to expand her presence on the screen. The result was a half-hour sitcom that brimmed with exciting talent. It was a distinctive mix of sophistication and slapstick, peppered with glib one-liners, and creator Reiner was the talent that kept this delicate balance in play.
"[Reiner's] great talent was hearing your speech patterns and your tempo and the way you spoke, and he wrote it so that you didn't have to do anything with the line," says Van Dyke. "That's great writing."

Sixx: A.M. Hope to Overcome Opioid Stigma With New Song 'Talk to Me'
Liz Ramanand, Loudwire
There's talk and then there's action. Sixx: A.M.'s Nikki Sixx seems to be willing to do both when it comes to putting a spotlight on the opioid crisis in America, now focusing his music on the subject and releasing a new track to further bring attention to the epidemic.
"#TalktoMe is a movement by the National Opioid Action Coalition to use the power of conversation to overcome the stigma plaguing opioid use disorder. Join us in the conversation at http://www.noac.org," reads a message accompanying the new song.
Sixx, a board member for the Global Recovery Initiative Foundation, has been vocal about his views on the matter, speaking out earlier this year when Johnson & Johnson was ordered to $572 million to the state of Oklahoma in an opioid-related case.
"This is a fantastic ruling in my opinion, but the question is 'what's going to happen with the money?' Sixx asked MSNBC host Ari Melber during an appearance on The Beat. "I hope that it's used for organizations to help with treatment facilities and to help, also, erase the stigma of addiction."
"A lot of these people backed into [this addiction]," Sixx added. "They were overprescribed by doctors and that was being supported by the pharmaceutical companies. Now what happens once we get them into treatment and then we re-enter them into society? … Addiction is horrible, but suffering in silence is worse."
The bassist spoke of his own personal connection, stating, "I just had my right shoulder reconstructed from years of performing and for six days, I had to take pain medication to get through that. I was prescribed that, I took it for the right reasons and then I got off of it. There are purposes for it, but if doctors are overprescribing and they just keep giving and giving and the pharmaceutical companies aren't being honest about how addictive these pills are, this epidemic is just gonna keep getting worse and worse and worse."
As for Sixx: A.M., they've remained quiet since taking some time off after 2016's releasing of two albums. Earlier this year, Sixx stated that he had done four new songs with the band for a greatest hits set that would tie in with his Heroin Diaries musical. He also added that there might be one more song at the time back in March. It's possible that "Talk to Me" could have been that extra track. Sixx has been spending a good portion of his time of late readying the long-in-the-works stage adaptation of The Heroin Diaries.

Q: Nested routes not working as expected I am creating an API with rails5.beta, I followed the guide to create nested routes: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#nested-resources
My Models:
class Paymethod < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :transactions
end

class Transaction < ApplicationRecord

end

and routes.rb
resources :paymethods do
    resources :transactions
end

rake routes gives me:
 paymethod_transactions GET    /paymethods/:paymethod_id/transactions(.:format)     transactions#index

But I always getting same output for any paymethod_id
GET aymethods/1/transactions
[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "amount": 10,
    "user_id": 21,
    "paymethod_id": 1,
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "amount": 1,
    "user_id": 21,
    "paymethod_id": 1,
  }
]

and same by: GET paymethods/2/transactions
[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "amount": 10,
    "user_id": 21,
    "paymethod_id": 1,
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "amount": 1,
    "user_id": 21,
    "paymethod_id": 1,
  }
]

So, why its not filtering the results by paymethod_id?
Btw, it works with rails like Paymethod.find(2).transactions
Here a controllers:
https://gist.github.com/nilsigusi/f59e65dd34495e08eaee
actually its standard controllers, generated by creating a model with rails

A: In your gist, you had this at line 59: ( https://gist.github.com/nilsigusi/f59e65dd34495e08eaee#file-gistfile1-txt-L59 )
@transactions = Transaction.all

Which return all transaction records, no condition applied.
Replace with this:
@transactions = Transaction.where(paymethod_id: params[:paymethod_id])

To get all the transaction records belonging to the paymethod.

Q: Verifying product key
Possible Duplicate:
How are Software License Keys generated?

How do software programs verify the product key offline? Is there already a list of possible keys in the db, or does the program decode the input key in some way? If the latter, how is the decoding done?

A: Well, there are multitudes of algorithms that can be used to encode/decode product keys (using matricies etc.), but one of the more common methods is by use of a program called Keygen. For more information on Keygen, check out this link.

Dive Hin Muang with Crystal Waves and you'll experience the thrill of diving the highest vertical wall in Thailand. The southern side descends to over 60 metres and on the eastern side where the slope is gentler, 2 long ridges descend out into the blueness.
A completely submerged rock formation, Hin Muang has an incredible amount of marine life. It derives its name (meaning Purple Rock) from its dense covering of purple soft corals. The rock itself is approx. 200 metres by 20 metres and is shaped something like an immense loaf of bread.
The walls are decorated with large sea fans of red, white and orange. Clouds of glass fish school around the fans and rocky out-crops while hunting trevallies dart in looking for a tasty mouthful. Carpets of anemones cover the shallower sections of the pinnacle.
As you head down the permanent mooring line you'll see the rock splits in 2 and meets again at approximately 22m. From this point you can drop deeper and swim along the length of the rock. Be careful of your depth on this dive site. While checking out the marine life on the wall, be sure to keep an eye on the deep water.
Leopard sharks and grey reef sharks are often seen patrolling the depths. Due to its relative greater depth, Hin Muang lies within the Mu Koh Lanta National Marine Park in waters beyond the reach of the diving masses and tends to be a little less crowded. If you want to dive Thailand, this – along with nearby Hin Daeng – is definitely a site not to miss.


Beaches. You love them, I love them, everyone loves them. In fact, 1.5 billion people or about 20% of the worlds population live along them and the coast. And if you don't live on them you probably enjoy visiting them as they're huge hot spots for tourists. Beaches are typically very industrialized and booming with infrastructure, meaning high economic value. About 31% of all beaches, not along the arctic poles, are sand beaches. The thing is, these beaches are extremely variable and are constantly changing. In a recent study published by Scientific Reports, a group of researchers found that the majority of sandy beaches around the world are in flux. What this means is that many of the beaches are either eroding away or are in accretion (growing).
Over the course of 30 years (1980-2016), the study found that 24% of the worlds sandy beaches are eroding by more then an average depth of 0.5m/yr a year, that 17% of the worlds sandy beaches are eroding by over a depth of 1m/yr, and that 27% are experiencing accretion rates of over 0.5m/yr. The study found that less then half of the worlds sand beaches are stable (48%), with all the rest changing in size, some at massive rates.
Although it may seem counter intuitive, the private, government protected beaches around the world are the ones most susceptible to erosion. And the highly industrialized, tourist beaches are most commonly undergoing accretion. The reason behind this is almost entirely due to human intervention. For the huge, public tourist ones, governments have been implementing ways in which to manually regrow the beaches. The two main ways this is done is by protecting them with different types of sea walls, concrete structures built to reduce erosion, or by dredging, where offshore boats literally take sand from the ocean and spray it back onto the beach.
The study also found that the two main reasons for beaches eroding was also anthropologically caused. The first being sand mining and subsidence, meaning sand is being mined from shorelines for industrial use. The second being big coastal structures such as harbors and ports causing incoming sediment to the beaches to be blocked off.
The take away; beaches are drastically changing and its mainly in part to humans. Much of the worlds population lies along the coast lines and its important to be informed about what is happening to them. This study was one of the first global studies done in order to show what's happening to specific sand beaches all over the world as well as explain the reasons behind them. Lastly, the study found that for the most part protected beaches are quickly eroding away, raising cause for serious concern.
Who knows how these rates of change will be affected as sea level continues to rise, for more information about the study visit https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-24630-6 .

Eat more plants and less meat to live longer and improve heart health, study suggests
Eating more plants and less meat has been tied to a longer life and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease in a new study.
Sticking to an overall plant-based diet or a diet that includes more plant foods than animal foods could be associated with a 16% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and up to 25% lower risk of early death, according to the study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association this week.
The new study adds to "the substantial body of literature" suggesting that consuming a plant-based diet is associated with better heart health and lower risk of death, said Casey Rebholz, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore and senior author of the study.
"Plant-based diets emphasize higher intakes of plant foods and lower intakes of animal foods. Foods derived from plants include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes," Rebholz said.
"Animal foods include meat, eggs, dairy, and fish or seafood," she said. "In this study, we did not define plant-based diets on the basis of complete exclusion of animal foods from the diet … but rather ranked individuals according to their relative frequency of intake of these foods."
The study involved data on 12,168 middle-aged adults in the United States, which came from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.
The adults, who were followed up from 1987 through 2016, did not have cardiovascular disease at the start of the study.
The researchers took a close look at each adult's usual diet and their heart health later in life, including whether they were diagnosed with stroke, heart failure or other events related to cardiovascular disease.
After analyzing the data, the researchers found that the adults who adhered to diets with mostly plant-based foods, compared with those who had the lowest adherence, had a 16% lower risk of cardiovascular disease; about 32% lower risk of dying from a cardiovascular disease; and 18% to 25% lower risk of early death from any cause.
The study had some limitations, including that the data on dietary intakes were based on people self-reporting their eating habits, which poses a risk of measurement error.
More research is needed to determine if a causal relationship exists, and to determine how the modern food supply might influence outcomes, as the data in the study came from years' past.
Cardiovascular diseases, disorders of the heart and blood vessels such as heart disease, are the No. 1 cause of death globally, according to the World Health Organization.
The new study's findings are "important," said Dr. Michelle McMacken, director of the plant-based lifestyle medicine program at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue and an assistant professor of medicine at NYU School of Medicine in New York, who was not involved in the study.
"They strongly suggest that in a general US population who don't necessarily identify as vegetarian, the higher the proportion of plant foods in the diet, the lower the risk of cardiovascular events and death from any cause," McMacken said, adding that plant-based diets can promote heart health by multiple mechanisms.
"First, they are higher in beneficial nutrients such as fiber, plant fats, potassium, and antioxidants, and lower in potentially harmful nutrients such as animal-based iron, animal fats and nitrite preservatives," she said.
"Second, plant-based diets are also linked to healthier body weights, lower inflammation, lower risk of type 2 diabetes, better blood pressure and blood vessel function, and beneficial gut bacterial metabolites," she said. "All of these factors translate into a lower cardiovascular risk."

Tuvia Bielski (1906-1987) fue el jefe del grupo partisano «Hermanos Bielski», que estaba situado en el bosque Naliboki en la Segunda República Polaca (actual Bielorrusia), durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Su objetivo como líder no era atacar caminos y carreteras que los nazis usaban como rutas de abastecimiento (aunque algunos sí fueron atacados), sino salvar a los judíos que eran perseguidos por los nazis durante el Holocausto. Después de la guerra se le concedió un trabajo de alto rango en las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel por todos sus grandes actos de liderazgo logrado durante la segunda Guerra mundial, pero lo rechazó y trabajó con su hermano Zus en Nueva York hasta su muerte en 1987. Bielski fue protagonizado por Daniel Craig en la película de 2008 Resistencia.

Vida
Bielski creció en la única familia judía de Stankiewicz, un pequeño pueblo en la entonces Polonia Oriental (ahora Bielorrusia Occidental) situado entre los municipios de Lida y Navahrudak. Fue el tercer hijo de David y Beila Bielski, quienes tuvieron doce hijos: diez hijos y dos hijas. Sus hermanos Asael, Alexander Zisel «Zus» y Aron fueron también miembros de su grupo de partisanos.

Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, Bielski pasó mucho tiempo con soldados alemanes que ocuparon Polonia y Bielorrusia por aquella época. Siendo un hablante de yidis, aprendió a hablar alemán de esos hombres y lo recordó toda su vida. En 1927, fue reclutado por el ejército polaco. Después de su servicio militar, Bielski volvió a casa, donde recordó la pobreza en la que vivía su familia y conoció a su novia Marlonga. En un esfuerzo por aumentar los ingresos de su familia, alquiló otro molino. Esto, sin embargo, aún no fue suficiente, así que a la edad de veintitrés años se casó con una mujer mayor que él que poseía un gran comercio y una casa mucho mayor. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, mientras estaba escondido en el bosque, recibió la noticia de que su mujer y su hijo habían sido asesinados. Bieslki volvió a casarse con Lilka, con la que permaneció casado el resto de su vida.

Película
Hasta la fecha, se ha rodado una película en conmemoración a los hechos sucedidos durante su estancia en los bosques, llamada Defiance (Resistencia), donde Tuvia es interpretado por Daniel Craig.

A citizen of Chernarus, Alexander had the rare ability to say he lived through the outbreak. From Day 0 to his death, Alex saw himself, a self-proclaimed intellectual, turn into a savage with brain. Instead of using nothing but brawn, he opted to use more of his head than anything - to outsmart the outbreak was his goal, and for a time it worked. In the wake of terror from a powerful clan, the Green Dragons, Croczechsky was pitted against intellectual equals, an event that almost meant certain death. To survive, he sought help from a ragtag group known as the Dragon Slayers, a group whose sole intention was to kill the Green Dragons. With them he earned his alias, "Beetle", partly because of his ability to survive almost anywhere and mostly because of his round physique. He passed away only weeks after being shot by an unknown assailant - just weeks after meeting up with the Dragon Slayers. His death was only fuel for the bunch.

New York Fashion Week and its ties to Donald Trump
The cynicism of American politics could truly affect the NYFW schedule
Fashion August 27th, 2019
Author Jordan Anderson
Earlier this year Tom Ford, the newly appointed chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) made drastic changes to the NFYW September runway schedule, cutting the week down from its traditionally lengthy period to only six days.
Following these changes, there were, of course, mixed emotions. This cut has been at the cost of smaller brands, much of whom will now have to work harder in an effort to expand and expose their businesses so as to be included during the selection period. On the other hand, there were many bigger designers, buyers and fashion editors that were happy to hear that the schedule has been condensed, giving the week a more polished and tighter lineup than that which it previously was. This was all confirmed and blew over a few months ago, but news of NYFW has once again resurfaced following the release of some disturbing news.
In an article published by BOF, writer Phillip Picardi sheds some light on New York's Fashion Week's ties with Trump supporting billionaire Stephen Ross. On this year's schedule, many designers had their eyes on showing their collections at Hudson Yards, a gorgeous new luxury building in Chelsea, New York which is has been reported as the most expensive piece of real estate in American history but is also home to shops like Chanel, Dior and Fendi. However, when news recently broke that the skyscraper's developer Stephen Ross was hosting a fundraiser for Donald Trump's reelection, in his Hamptons home, it then called for a re-evaluation of the decision to be associated with such business.
"Any fashion week event heading to Hudson Yards is bound to be tainted by the corporate greed of a billionaire who took from the poor, manipulated city funds and is now using the profits of his expansive empire to pad the pockets of the most overtly racist, anti-LGBTQ+ President in modern history," explained Phillip Picardi in his BOF article.
Of course with this being acknowledged, it resulted in a few of these fashion houses including American brands Prabal Gurung and rag&bone to pull out of showing at the unique space.
"This is about choosing between two sides, the right or the wrong sides of the history… I was previously in conversation with Hudson Yards' The Vessel as the venue for my brand's upcoming ten year show during NYFW. When I heard about this fundraiser, I chose to pull my participation, removing our brand and selves, this is my choice and that is my decision. I am not expecting anyone else to do it, however it was the right thing to do, for ME, and I do want to speak out to create transparency and awareness," Gurung tweeted.
1/10: We are living in crisis mode. Our political and social climate is turbulent and dangerous. White supremacist and domestic terrorists are killing hundreds of people and instilling fear and terror in our daily lives.

In the article published on BOF, Picardi also called out the Billionaire's wife, Jewellery designer and BOF board member Kara Ross who seems to contradict herself and beliefs by doing things like openly supporting the LGBTQ+ community while giving her dollars to a president whose administration has reversed employment discrimination protections for the LGBTQ+ community.
Fashion and politics have always had their connections, considering that much of the members at the heads of magazines, fashion brands and luxury companies are all old, rich, white billionaires, it just happens that every now and again a few of these elite members and their companions may turn out to be bigots. And as a part of the fashion community, we have a responsibility to ensure we are on the right side of history, especially in these times where customers hold their consumers to a higher moral standard than before.
This can be effective by being cautious about who and what we choose to associate ourselves with. As Picardi mentions, "your worth and integrity will not be measured by what you dare to say behind an iPhone screen: It is measured by the difficult decisions we make when we are forced to choose a side — and that includes who we double-kiss at fashion shows, and with whom we're willing to avoid confrontation in order to keep the peace at catered lunches and fundraiser meetings."
