17 July, 2021 Scurvy Dawg	9 Comments
I sold my last motorcycle back in 2015 & since then have not experienced a motorcycle road trip. A few weeks ago, I bought a new(ish) motorcycle from a departing Expat. Its the Stallions Centaur CT400 with a 400cc single cylinder 4 valve engine. I have ridden it many times since then, but only local short commutes. It goes without saying, the feeling of wanderlust has been building up inside me since.
Today morning, I went about my usual schedule and even started my office work. After taking stock of my work, I realized I had nothing too urgent to finish today. I decided to take the day off and head out to the highway on the motorcycle.
I settled on Ko Lan, an island around 160km away. To get there, you need to ride till Bali Hai Pier at Pattaya and then take a ferry to the island. I hastily collected a few things, put on Pink Floyd's Pulse and headed out on the highway. Unfortunately, I soon discovered that the fastest highway to Pattaya doesn't allow motorcycles on it. Fortunately, the other highway which does allow Motorcycles was also more suitable for Motorcycle rides. Highway 3 is a winding 4-6 lane road which hugs the coast and passes near many beaches.
After escaping the mad traffic of Bangkok, I was finally able to open up the throttle on the highway. The motorcycle performs very well on the highway, cruising easily between 100-120kmph without too many vibrations (For a single cylinder engine). There's ample reserve power for going faster for overtaking, too. I was able to reach Pattaya in 2.5 hours.
Deserted Bali Hai Pier
I was quickly disappointed to find the pier deserted and learnt that boats to Ko Lan were stopped because of the pandemic. Dejected, I decided to explore Pattaya instead and headed to Pattaya Beach. Thankfully, Chonburi province allows dine-in and I was able to have lunch at the beach.
Relaxing at Pattaya Beach
Pattaya Waterfront
After getting my feet wet in the water and relaxing for sometime, I headed back to Bangkok. I wanted to stay and watch the sunset but the constant attempts by she-pimps to persuade me to get a "massage" got on my nerves. My phone ran out of battery on the way back, and I lost my way twice on the outskirts of Bangkok but eventually reached home.
After going on a motorcycle road trip after so many years, I feel exhilarated. Needless to say, there will be many more road trips in the months to come.

Think Floyd 2012
I have written about Think Floyd many times before here, here, here and here. Really, with a busy lifestyle and bands not playing on the weekends, they're the only band I follow regularly (apart from Indian Ocean, who don't seem to play at Delhi anymore).
They recently announced their first gig of 2012, again at Hard Rock Cafe, Delhi. I had many things going against me this time. I had cold and fever, I had to go to office early the next day, it was the end of the month and I was short on money, but none of that stopped me. After swallowing a crocin, I reached the venue sharply at 21:30, waiting for the show to begin at 22:00.

Few points to note about last night's performance

Gaurav Chintamani seems to have been domesticated-post marriage and spent his time off-stage; perhaps to keep him off the reach of clawing groupies out to get him
This was the first time they didn't perform Dark Side of the moon in its entirety, but the playlist did need an overhaul (and time for more songs), which it got

The Great Gig (under the sky)
11 November, 2011 Scurvy Dawg	3 Comments
Last night was my third Think Floyd night. I have already covered how awesome the band is and how they play during my first and second gigs. This time was as awesome as ever and much better than the second time.
This time the gig was held on the terrace of Vapour bar and lounge, Gurgaon. The ambience was amazing; the best ambience I have ever seen for a live performance. There was a full moon out, there was a cool, pleasant breeze flowing and the metro would whiz by close to the mall every few minutes.
The set included more or less the same combination of songs as the last few times (Yes, Dark Side was played in its entirety).
Since this was an open venue (no entry fees or cover charges), some losers did make it to the venue. It was actually hilarious to watch them make a fool out of themselves.
Loser 1:-
Loser 1 is a short & thin guy, dressed impeccably in formals, sitting at the bar as far away from the band as possible. You can imagine that he grew up in South Delhi & when he was young, his parents didn't refuse anything he asked for (probably got a BMW at the age of 11); which is why he turned out to be a loser. Suddenly he comes up to the stage
Loser: C'mon guys. Play some Morrison
Chintan: We're gonna play Morrison next Thursday
Loser: But I want Morrison now
Chintan: Next Thursday
Loser: You don't know how much money I spend. You gotta play my request
Chintan: Someday we'll play requests
Loser: Some more fake-accented shit
Chintan: Man I'm not even listening to you anymore
Loser: Utters abuses in Punjabi and goes back to the bar
Loser 2 is with a bunch of friends, standing right in front of the stage, dancing, making rap signs and desecrating the best Pink Floyd songs. During an instrument tuning break, he gets up on stage
Loser: September 11 was worst day of life yaar. Mean worst day yaar. I cried yaar. I hate Pink Floyd yaar. I mean Pink Floyd legend yaar. I am Pink Floyd legend yaar. I cannot tell you yaar. I mean september 11 was just worst day yaar. I am the biggest legend of Pink Floyd yaar. I hate Pink Floyd yaar. I just so happy Pink Floyd come to India today yaar.
I works at Accenture yaar. I such big legend, I bunks office tonight for Pink Floyd yaar
Crowd: Fuck Accenture
Loser: You can say that
Crowd: Fuck you
Loser: I am TL!!! (Tech Lead)
With this awe-inspiring statement, he walks off the stage and goes back to dancing. His facebook update tomorrow will be about how he shared stage with Pink Floyd.

Great Gig Part-2
4 July, 2011 Scurvy Dawg	4 Comments
June 30th, 2011 was a day I had waited for a long time. Think Floyd performed for the second time in Hard Rock Cafe. I had informed everyone of my absence from the other responsibilities of life days ago, as soon as the dates were announced. The concert was slated to start at 10:00 PM, we reached there at 07:00 PM, waited till 8 to get the tickets. The concert actually started around 10:30 PM.
For those who don't know about the band, read my last post or facebook fan page
https://thescurvydawg.com/2010/05/22/the-great-gig-in-hard-rock-cafe/
http://www.facebook.com/thinkfloydindia
I had a few apprehensions on what the playlist would be like on this occasion. My minimum requirements were Dogs, Sheep, Echoes, Shine on you Crazy Diamond & of course, whole of Dark Side of the Moon.
Un-like last time, the concert started with Coming Back to Life, followed by Poles Apart and then High Hopes. Just when I was yearning for some classic(old) Pink Floyd songs, they Started with Dark Side of the Moon and played the whole album, just like last time.
While they were playing, I started looking around the crowd, hoping to catch a glimpse of Vasundhara Vee, who sang the part last time; however, I could see no signs of her. We were all surprised when the Sax guy (whose name I never heard or forgot) played the vocal parts on his Sax. It was simply amazing and played perfectly. All in all, I can safely say that "The Great Gig in the sky" was the song which surprised me most both the times.
After this came the mandatory alcohol top-up break after which they started with Echoes, followed by Sheep, Dogs, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, finishing with comfortably numb.
A few differences from last time
The show was technically more successful. Last time the Sax sound went in and out, the keyboards couldn't be heard on many songs, but this time everything seemed good.
Everyone seemed more drunk than last time. Gaurav Chintamani looked like he was almost about to throw up.
Rohit Kulkarni had more role this time, did most of the lead guitar work.
Overall, a very satisfying experience. I hope they do play "Careful with that Axe Eugene" next time.
Return of the Gig!!

More than a year ago, on Thursday, May 20, 2010 something legendary happened. Think Floyd played at Hard Rock Cafe Delhi and changed our lives forever.
For people like us who would never see Pink Floyd live, this was the next best thing, and the best thing we can get ever. I covered this event on this blog a couple of days later
https://thescurvydawg.com/the-great-gig-in-hard-rock-cafe/
One reason the evening was so special was we had mediocre hopes from the concert and instead they blew us away. We didn't expect a Sax player or Vasundhara singing "Great Gig in the Sky".
Since then, we have all been waiting for a reprise, and after more than a year the dates have been announced. It's June 30, the same venue at 9:00 PM (right!!)
http://www.hardrock.com/live2/eventDetails.aspx?LocationID=542&eventID=49111&MIBEnumID=3
With expectations already so high, will the band exceed expectations again or fail to live up to it's expectations? Only June 30th will tell and we will be there.
The Great Gig (In Hard Rock Cafe)
22 May, 2010 Scurvy Dawg	6 Comments
Thursday was one of the greatest evenings I have ever had. Me and goru headed out to Hard Rock Cafe to witness the performance of Think Floyd. Of course expectations were high as it was a Pink Floyd tribute band and we had been waiting for over a week for this. Add to that the un-certainty that we may be thrown out because we were not a "couple". The band that night chiefly consisted of
ABHISHEK MATHUR : GUITAR & VOCALS
ANINDO BOSE : KEYBOARDS & COMPUTERS
CHINTAN KALRA : DIRECTOR, BASS & VOCALS
SUROJIT DEV : DRUMS
NICOLAS GIORDANI : SAXOPHONES
ROHIT KULKARNI : GUITAR & VOCALS
VASUNDHARA : VOCALS
Let me tell you that Chintan Kalra (of Parikrama fame; pictured above) not only looks like Roger Waters but sings like one too. In fact you can think of him as a bulkier waters or a thinner Springsteen. Anyways, the guy was a showman!!
The gig was to begin at 9:30 but started at 10:30. We were apprehensive because we thought the gig starting late meant a smaller playlist (boy were we wrong). As expected, they began with Shine on you Crazy Diamond, playing all parts perfectly; complete with a Sax solo by Nicholas.
Next came Astronomy Domine. When you go to concerts with bands playing, you expect commercial Floyd songs mainly Coming back to life. Never though did I expect them to play songs from Animals. But they did!! Next came Sheep (at which point I went mad) followed by Dogs (completely Hysterical). They even played Echoes (both 1 AND 2 goddamnit!!) They followed it up with Poles apart from Division bell and the compulsory Another Brick in the wall (all parts) and mother and other songs.
Next came a short break (at which point I realize that they haven't played a single song from Dark Side of the moon!! When they next came on stage, after a song, my ears are treated to the familiar heart beat.
They start out with Speake to me/Breathe, and play every single fucking song of the album. Time was awesome with an added solo but the greatest surprise of the evening was the great gig in the sky featuring vocals from Vasundhara. Well, I had never thought I would see an Indian woman perform this song live, but she did!! When she began singing, the crown went into hysterics. No one could believe the voice on that girl. She sang the song perfectly with her voice reaching highs and lows un-imaginable by a normal singer.
After that came Money and Us & them (again with Nicholas on the Sax), any colour you like, Brain damage and eclipse. The band finished off with Wish you were here at around 1:30 morning.
By the end of the concert, our throats were completely seized up and we were in a state of shock. Next morning, I could recollect events from the previous night like a dream. Couldn't believe whether it was true or just a dream. All in all, it was an experience of a lifetime. It makes me shudder to think what would have happened if we had witnessed an actual Pink Floyd performance.
Turn offs: Girls wearing revealing clothes "sitting" on the front row, blocking the view and talking amongst themselves while the band performed. For me, it was sacrilege. Would prefer concerts in a less formal atmosphere, maybe at an open ground.
Another turn off – guys fetching drinks for these girls, pushing their way around while the band was playing, blocking views and disturbing the trance that we were in.
PS: We also learnt about the three "P"s in life we should all yearn to attain!!
The Wall – Live in Berlin
10 December, 2008 Scurvy Dawg	3 Comments
I had heard of the Pink Floyd Wall Live concert in Berlin for a long time but never got around to watching it. After hearing and reading about it a lot, I decided to watch it. After all it had great names associated with it like Roger Waters, The Scorpions, Bryan Adams and Van Morrison. The Wall Live concert in Berlin is a live rendition of their album "The Wall". The playlist is almost the same but the similarity ends here. While the album had a very raw, cruel hard rock feeling to it, the concert is more of a Musical Show with the whole orchestra sitting there. It completely lacks the raw hard rock feeling the album had. The album was psychedelic, depressing while in the show, most of the songs have 6-7 singers singing and a 100 piece orchestra playing in the background. It gives the show a soft gentle feel which is completely out of tune with the feeling the album gave. Can you imagine a flute playing anywhere in the Wall movie?
So with great expectations, I start watching the concert. A white limo surrounded by harleys move onto the stage and The Scorpions get off to give a high voltage performance of In the Flesh?. All is going good when the song ends. The next few songs are by different artists and keep getting softer with a Sax Solo in Another Brick in the Wall Part 1. Another Brick in the Wall Part II is by Cyndi Lauper who is in a School Uniform and keeps jumping around as in the Circus and making faces. In the solos, she is behind the guitarists and seems to be trying to smell their asses. I say solos, because there are 3, each almost the same but by 2 guitarist and 1 Synth by Thomas Dolby. The first Solo is something like I would be playing after my first week's practice of the song on the guitar. At this point, the stage crew start building a huge wall on the stage which gets completed in the songs to come. The song I was looking forward to was Young Lust by Bryan Adams. The song seems really great and Bryan seems to be playing the guitar himself in his trademark kneel back style. Somewhere into the 2nd paragraph of the song, Bryan gets too much into the song and swings his guitar away and lo! The guitar seems to be still playing. After a while we notice the real guitarist standing somewhere behind the edge of the wall in the darkness, with th spotlight on Bryan. I did not understand why Bryan needed to mime the guitaring. He could have just sung the song and be done with it instead of moving his fingers in complicated motions and seeming to concentrate really hard on the guitar. Anyways, I tried forgetting about it and thinking that the song sounded good anyways. Jerry Hall has a brief role as a slut groupie who comes on stage to admire Pink's imaginary room.Hey You is performed by Paul Carrack and sounds good, though nothing like the original song and no feeling. Comfortably Numb performed by Van Morrison and again, sounds good but nothing like the original. It's almost kind of soft and it seems you are listening to an opera. The solo is kind of a duet between the two guitarists and in trying to make it different from the original solo, they screw it up completely. The song In the Flesh is again performed by the Scorpions, though this time, it's very very obvious they're faking it because the guitars start playing even before they get off their posh limo and throughout most of this song and also Run like hell, they're just running around and giving each other high 5s while the real guitarists keep on playing in the darkness behind the wall. The Trial is really good performed by mainstream hollywood actors at the end of which, they break down the complete wall ad finish off with The Tide is turning which is not very much unlike We are the world performed by Michael Jackson and various other singers, blind and otherwise.
Overall, the concert is quite entertaining, but fails to capture the original essence of the wall. In fact, it doesn't even sound anything like Pink Floyd and it would be quite disappointing to the fans of the band and the original album. Roger waters plays nothing in the whole concert and his total singing time is also somewhere around 20 minutes. It would be better if watched from a neutral mindset and no comparisons made to the album. Personally I think that David did a much better job with Pulse tour.

The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.
The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes

Using AssessFirst has allowed us to standardise our recruitment assessment practices in the management of internal mobility.
National distribution leader of professional restaurant produce, the Pomona HR team recruits 150 executives and manages no less than 180 internal mobility projects each year.
The team faces multiple challenges. On one hand, there was the difficulty of understanding personality, and on the other hand, the fact that operational staff are, by nature, very focused on their feelings, which sometimes complicates decision-making objectives. Moreover, the Pomona team wanted to have a common language between HR and operational staff. Above all, it was necessary for this language to be applicable, both in the recruitment context and the management of internal mobility projects.
« When we decided to equip ourselves with a workplace behaviour evaluation tool, we looked for a system that was reliable and allowed the teams to save time," recalls Eric Mercier, Recruitment and Mobility Director.
Shape, AssessFirst's personality questionnaire has quickly established itself as a comprehensive analysis of candidate profiles, strengths, weaknesses and detailed working styles in 12 key areas of working life, presented in a concise and extremely precise manner. Moreover, the training provided greatly facilitated the integration of the system by the Pomona teams.
Using AssessFirst has enabled us to strengthen the link between operational and executive employees, and demonstrate our expertise with our internal clients.
Each candidate short-listed by Pomona took the Shape test before meeting anyone from the HR team. In this way, Shape can quickly focus issues to be addressed during the interview.
Another feature that is popular with recruiters is the possibility of comparing the profiles of each candidate to the criteria of desired behaviours, as well as being able to access lists of questions to ask during the interview, which delve deeper into particular aspects of candidate profiles.
The integration of AssessFirst into the mobility process has allowed for the substantiation of decisions and the building of tailored development plans.
Now, every collaborator who hopes to change positions within the company can complete the Shape questionnaire, after which, the collaborator's profile can be assessed next to all open positions, in order to better anticipate their potential for internal progress.
After more than three years of successful collaboration with AssessFirst, Pomona continues to advance its evaluation practices.
For Eric Mercier, the benefits of collaboration are four-fold. "Firstly, our decisions are more reliable. Decisions are also more objective as they are now fully supported.
Inn this way, we have managed to ensure complete HR and operational vision. The link with operational employees has been greatly developed.

EVs in Malaysia: what's on sale, what's coming in 2022 – paultan.org
In October last year, finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz announced during his Budget 2022 speech that the government was set to introduce tax breaks for electric vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia. The move, planned for introduction on January 1 this year, involves offering 100% exemption of import and excise duties as well as zero road tax for CBU electric cars up to December 31, 2023, and 100% duty exemption for CKD electric cars up to December 31 December, 2025.
January has of course come, and there is still very little in the way of actual announcements being made by companies (or the government, for that matter) with regards to this topic, especially for cars that have already been announced or introduced for the market.
Obviously, revisions are hardly likely to apply for long-entrenched models such as the Nissan Leaf, where there is existing stock (with taxes already paid for them), but new, incoming models such as the Hyundai Kona, for example, should have their indicative prices firmed up to definitive ones (with all tax exemptions in place), if application of the proposed tax incentives have already started, that is. Curiously, at time of writing, the only price revision that was noted for an existing, on-sale model was that for the MINI Cooper SE, which is now RM35k cheaper than before.
Barring any major delays in the full implementation of the tax exemption scheme, we can expect to see electrification pick up significantly in Malaysia this year. Quite a few cars have been announced as being due for this market, and so, here's a quick sampling of what's already available and what's expected to come our way this year (and into 2023) on the battery electric vehicle front. Unless indicated otherwise, existing prices are with taxes applied and not with incentives in place.
BMW iX – on sale, from RM419,630 to RM472,630 (as yet, not inclusive of EV tax exemption)
When it was launched in Malaysia last August, prices for the BMW iX began from RM419,630 for the xDrive40 and RM472,630 for the xDrive40 Sport, the latter consisting of a RM53,000 add-on package to the base car. These prices were without the EV tax exemption factored in, so it's expected that the X5-sized flagship EV could be very close to its RM313,630 Langkawi pricing when the revised pricing is announced (at time of writing, the BMW Malaysia website has no price list present, as the page is "under maintenance").
In its xDrive40 guise, the iX features two electric motors offering 326 PS (322 hp or 240 kW) and 630 Nm, which is good for a 0-100 km/h time of 6.1 seconds and a 200 km/h top speed. A 76.6 kWh battery provides up to 425 km of range (WLTP cycle), and with AC charging (11 kW, Type 2) it takes seven hours and 15 minutes to get the battery to full. Going with DC charging (up to 150 kW) allows a 10-80% state of charge to be done in about 31 minutes.

Q: Why can't I run phpinfo() in my docker container? I am trying to get a connection between my php-fpm docker container and an RDS Postregsql. I found that I was getting an error in my php application "call to undefined function pg_connect()". So I thought that maybe the issue was that I didn't have pgsql driver enabled in my php.ini. So I tried to enable it, by first adding a line to my Dockerfile, rebuilding the image, then I brought down the container and brought it up again. But I am getting the same error "call to undefined function pg_connect(). So I'd like to run phpinfo() in the container to see if the pgsql driver is loaded. I tried to run it by using docker exec 4822 /bin/bash to open a cli to the container, but the host cli just comes back with a $. How can I run phpinfo() in the container so I can figure out why $DB2 = $this->load->database('postgres', TRUE) is failing with the above error?

should start the PHP process. Then:
<?php phpinfo();

will display phpinfo() output. You will need to end the php process with a Control-D and then all output should be displayed.

A: Follow this https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.interactive.php
This will help you, how to use interactive command line PHP.
If DockerImage is based on PHP or has PHP installed in docker container then you can use this feature. What you need to do in docker terminal is run following command

Tamil Actors Photos Tamil Actress Hot Photos
Don't potray me in wrong light – Sona's request
by Chennaivision January 23, 2020 103 Views
P. Thiyagarajan PRO
Actress Sona has been always choosy about the films she chooses and has found good appreciated for her onscreen roles. Relevantly she is now finding some promising offers filling up her stores now. Two and half years ago, actress Sona had played an important role in a Malayalam movie titled 'Pachcha Maanga', which also had actor Prathap Pothan in the movie. With Jesheeda Shaji & Paul Ponmani producing the film, Jayesh Mynagappally has directed the film. The film's trailer released recently has found good response. At the same time, after watching Sona appearing in alluring costumes have been spreading the news that she has done a glamorous role. This includes a leading Tamil newspaper mentioning that Sona is following the footprints of Shakeela.
However, this is a film that was made before 2 ½ years and actress Sona had made an open statement before couple of years that she will no more appear in glamorous roles. She clarifies putting forward a question how come a versatile actor like Prathap Pothan agree to be a part of a film, if it has something to do with glamorous factors.
"Pachamanga is a film with an emotional content made on the classic lines of Balu Mahendra sir's touch. Just looking into my costumes, many have assumed that I have played a glamorous role, which is untrue. I have just replicated the way women dress in Kerala and haven't crossed any limits. Therefore, I request not to spread such rumours that I am playing such roles. This is a good film with unique theme and so will be my character, which audience will agree after watching the movie," says actress Sona.


Newspapers play a really important role in each of the countries to which they belong, especially because each is responsible for providing the different news that occurs from different perspectives and even with much more intense stories. A story will never be the same, because not all of them will be seen from the same angle. That's why newspapers are so wonderful.
What is Northern Territory News?
This is an informative newspaper or tabloid, which is much smaller than a traditional one, which provides the news from Darwin, in Australia. It has a really particular importance that has made it have incredible recognitions, not only in its country of origin, but in different places around the globe.
That is why, for many years now, some even dare to say that, since its birth, it has been one of the most striking in the Australian press.
How did the Northern Territory News come about?
This newspaper, or tabloid, arose in 1952 and, instead of being delivered daily, its start was weekly. That's how it began to get into the hands of the Australians. However, shortly thereafter his delivery was promoted to be twice a week and subsequently became a daily newspaper.
The evolution of this newspaper was truly amazing, due to the acceptance it had by the public almost immediately.
If you wish to receive the daily delivery of this newspaper or tabloid, the best thing you can do is enter our page to purchase it. Not only do we provide it quickly and easily, but we also provide a PDF format of it so you can read it in the comfort of your home without any complications.

A date night in Miami can get loud, bright and crazy, which can unfortunately lead to headaches caused by anxiety and stress. Knowing what causes your headaches and dealing with the stress associated with a date night will help you avoid headaches altogether so that you can have a fantastic date night.
Before you head out on the town with your date, be sure to get ample rest. Take a nap before you go so you have the energy you need to get you through the rest of the evening. Also avoid caffeine earlier on in the day so that you don't start crashing during the date. By starting the night off feeling revitalized and full of energy, your stress and anxiety levels will be much lower.
Ensuring that your body is well-hydrated will help your mind and body function at its best. Water dilutes harmful substances in your body–like alcohol–and prevents them from disrupting how the body functions. Various studies have also shown that staying properly hydrated can mitigate the pain and intensity associated withheadaches. So before you go on your date, drink a couple large glasses of water.
If your date night involves eating at a restaurant, don't overload yourself at mealtime. Eat smaller meals and avoid overindulging in heavy foods like pasta or desserts. Those heavy foods can make you feel uncomfortable and can cause bilious headaches. Smaller meals move through the digestive tract much faster and will provide sustained levels of energy.
While it's best to have a solid plan for your date night, you should always be prepared for changes. Be spontaneous, easy-going and don't try to make things happen if you don't have the time or the means. This attitude will help you avoid stress and anxiety, which will ultimately help you avoid headaches. Remember that dates are supposed to be fun!
If you want to avoid getting a headache on your Miami date night, don't go overboard when it comes to alcohol. Alcohol contains ethanol–a chemical that can cause headaches in a number of ways. Consuming excessive amounts of ethanol dehydrates your body, which can certainly bring about headaches. If you plan on drinking a good amount, drink a glass of water with every alcoholic beverage to mitigate its harmful effects.
If you regularly experience migraines, it's important to know what your food triggers are. Avoiding thosefoods can prevent an uncomfortable end to what would have otherwise been a wonderful evening. If you aren't sure which foods trigger your migraines, eat foods that have as few additives and preservatives as possible. Additives like tyramine, aspartame, MSG and sulfites are proven to cause headaches and migraines.
Miami is a huge city full of nightlife opportunities. Instead of looking for the bright lights and glamor, head out to the quieter nightspots. Avoiding the bright lights and loud noises doesn't mean you won't have fun; it just means you'll avoid triggering a migraine while enjoying a more peaceful, romantic setting with your date.
If your date nights usually end with a headache that won't quit, contact the Headache Institute in Miami. Our professional staff can help you uncover the causes of your migraines and treat them properly so that you can enjoy your date nights and many other life events.
Contact our office today to find out how we can help you manage your headaches caused by stress and anxiety.


Who are the real producers of good health, and how can we craft policy that supports them, in order to promote greater communal and societal well-being?
Twenty years ago I attended the World Health Organization's 4th global conference on health promotion. This was at a time when neo-conservative influences were pushing WHO to be more receptive to private sector funding, so the pharmaceutical industry was there as a sponsor. But this got me thinking: What could their interest be in health promotion, given that if we did our job right – if everyone lived in good health to a ripe old age and then just dropped dead – they would be out of business?
Their interest, I supposed, was that they would be able to sell us medications that would either prevent disease or control it, enabling us to live longer, healthier lives. But there is not necessarily a lot of money to be made in preventing a disease, whereas chronic diseases are a god-send to the pharmaceutical industry; we can be on their medications for decades, a steady and reliable source of income.
"Who does make money out of good health?"
So fundamentally, I concluded, we did not share the same bottom line. Their bottom line interest was a long life in chronic ill health, while ours was a long life free of illness. Yet they were purporting to be our partners, just as soft drink companies want to be our partners on physical activity and sporting events such as the Olympics, even though their drinks are very unhealthy.
And that got me thinking: Who should public health professionals and organizations partner with? Who does make money out of good health? So I wrote an article called 'Caveat partner' – beware of your partner – in which I tried to figure that out. Sadly, I concluded there were many ways to make money out of bad health, but not so many ways to profit from good health.
First there are the corporations that profit by selling us stuff that sickens or injures and ultimately kills us, from tobacco to junk food, alcohol to asbestos. Add to that the fact that corporations regularly complain about and try to undermine or avoid what they see as unnecessary regulations, many of which are there to protect us or the environment; think of the resistance on the part of car makers over the years to new safety regulations, or of a wide variety of industries to pollution controls or occupational health and safety measures.
A third category of unhealthy corporate actors are those who pay their workers as little as possible, making it hard for them to live a decent life, or move their production to countries that have low wages and lax environmental and occupational health laws and enforcement, so they can maximise profit.
"We need taxes, incentives and regulations that both punish the private sector financially, ensuring they lose money when they harm health, and reward them financially for actions that improve health."
But I did identify three categories of business that share our bottom line, who make more money when the population is healthier. First are industries whose profits depend upon a healthy population and environment, including the life and health insurance industries; if we pay them premiums and don't use their products, that would presumably be profitable. Also, the leisure, recreation and tourism industries, since we generally need to be healthy to use their services.
Second are what I call the real producers of health; the people who build our homes, grow our food, keep our water safe and our environments clean, educate our kids, keep our communities safe and produce all the other goods and services that are the roots of good health. Of course, they don't necessarily do these things in a healthy way (there are lots of unhealthy homes and unhealthy foods, for example), but they could.
Finally, at least in theory, the entire private sector – and society as a whole – profits from good health. If people are healthy they will likely be more productive and more creative, they will not miss work or retire early due to ill health or stress, they will remain independent, pay taxes and contribute in many other ways to society.
So we need taxes, incentives and regulations that both punish the private sector financially, ensuring they lose money when they harm health, and reward them financially for actions that improve health. We need to make health creation profitable, and we need a new breed of health-enhancing entrepreneurs to do this, a topic I will explore in future columns.

Business is part of the team but beware of the risks
Grant Thornton tax head and managing partner Louise Evans believes business can be beneficial in the world of sport
Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan
Sign up here to get the CardiffOnline newsletter sent straight to your inbox
The link between business and sport seems so natural today that it's hard to imagine a world in which the two were once uneasy bedfellows, writes Louise Evans.
But the relationship between them is actually a relatively new phenomenon that took root 50 or so years ago and is now as natural as… well, Wales and rugby.
In those intervening years, sport itself, of course, has become a global business in its own right – fuelled in most part by the seemingly ever-open corporate cheque book. Without that financial help it makes you wonder where sport would be today.
It also makes me wonder how healthy that relationship between sport and business actually is, and whether at times one has way too much influence over the other.
The fact is that any sport played at a top level is unable to survive without receiving
significant financial backing from either a wealthy individual, or the combined efforts of a number of businesses providing serious corporate support.
Cardiff Blues and Cardiff City are both examples of leading sporting organisations in Wales that just could not exist without the huge individual
and corporate injections of cash they enjoy from their business benefactors.
Swansea City actually seems to have bucked the trend in being able not only to survive at the top level, but thrive without the aid of a single Sugar Daddy or major business support.
The danger is one of dependence, and when you have any type of relationship where you have an organisation – like a sports club – dependent on an individual Mr Money Bags or major corporate financial backer then there is a real risk of abuse creeping in to serve the needs and requirements of that investor.
Of course, any serious financial backer – whether it's a corporate giant or a wealthy
individual – does not have to be in the business of providing that sort of support for their own gain.
They can be doing it for completely altruistic reasons. However, if there is a business motive behind it then you often find other things coming into play.
The change of home playing strip from blue to red for Cardiff City would never have happened – would never even have been thought of – if it hadn't been the wish of the controlling financial influencer at the club.
Some fans would say it was an influence too far, although no-one could argue that it actually hasn't brought the club a generous helping of good luck – just as Vincent Tan promised!
Those who put money into Welsh club rugby have a huge amount of influence over those clubs and it's not hard to see why tensions can arise between the interests of different parties seeking to get their money's worth from a
sponsorship deal.
Personally, if we were able to achieve a situation where clubs didn't need that kind of a financial prop then it would be a whole lot healthier.
We at Grant Thornton have our own programme of sports sponsorship, of course, but at a low level of financial input. My feeling is the current level of financial support to sport in
Wales from both corporate business and individuals has grown into what is now a
necessary evil, although it's all about degrees.
If financial support reaches a level which sparks dependency then it's time that sport or club looks closely at the management of its funding.
My view is there is always a danger that sport can be tempted to head down that potentially rocky road of total dependency.
What can be dangerous is for a sports club to accept financial help with no end-game plan in place.
That can only lead to the club growing ever more dependent on the commercial world and any economic downturn such as the one we have experienced in the last five years, in which one of the first things corporates do is cut back on discretionary spend, can have a major impact on sport.
Having said all that, I happen to think that business getting involved in sport can actually
be highly beneficial, both for the business concerned and the sport it supports – but on
condition that neither should ever become dangerously dependent on the other.
For the risks are there for both partners in the relationship.
If a business becomes too closely associated brand-wise with a sporting organisation or an individual and something goes wrong, then the corporate can become seriously tainted. One only has to cite the cases of Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong and Oscar Pistorius to send shivers the spines of some of the biggest corporate brands on the globe.

Firstly, I'd like to point out that this seems to be related to the security issue from October 2018. This issue caused workflows to not be able to be published with the following error "Type System.CodeDom.CodeBinaryOperatorExpression is not marked as authorized in the application configuration file"
We created a new url that redirects to the old one through IIS.
If you use the old url and start a workflow, it works just as intended. If you edit the workflow by connecting to the site collection using the old url it works just fine.
However if you use the new url and start a workflow you get the errors "failed on start" "workflow cancelled by system account" If you try to publish the workflow by connecting to the site collection using the new url you get the same errors that came with the October security update.
One last thing to note, the new url is on a different port from the old one. The url is redirected through IIS and not the alternate access mappings.
I believe that if we can publish the workflows through the new url, then the users could run the workflows through the new url as well. How can I go about fixing it? is there some setting in IIS that might be affecting it? Or is it a webconfig setting instead?

Do you believe that eating disorders are incurable? If so, you have been misled by one of many misconceptions about these disorders. Eating disorders are 100% curable in 80% of cases, when treated in an effective and timely manner. Anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder are tyrannical, eroding and fragmenting an individual's sense of Self, and capacity for self-regulation and self-esteem. It is through the process of an effective recovery that patients enjoy the reawakening of their true Self, along with a sense of empowerment and centeredness in all life spheres. An integrative and full recovery represents an investment in one's 'now,' as well as one's future.
Having specialized in the treatment of eating disorders during the past 46 years, and having published two books, When Your Child Has an Eating Disorder, and Doing What Works, a treatment guide for professionals, my treatment approach is eclectic and unique.
As the founder and director of Eating Disorder Specialists of Illinois, I have brought together a highly seasoned, expert, collaborative outpatient team of clinicians who are available to address the integrative nature of these disorders through therapeutic, medical, and nutritional care. We treat the whole individual, not just the eating disorder.
My approach expands on cognitive/behavioral 'best practice' techniques through a focus on the quality and dynamic of the therapeutic relationship, as well as on family system dynamics; in addition, as a certified Feldenkrais Practitioner, I am also available to provide adjunctive somatic education in the form of gentle, pleasurable bodily movements, to fill in the gaps in self- and body- image.
I provide one-time diagnostic assessments, and consultation for patients and families in matters regarding recovery progress and challenges, milieu placements, etc., and for school counselors and physicians treating these disorders.
Please do not hesitate to peruse this informative web site.


I'll be part of the H-ART exhibition, artworks and handicrafts made by creative women at Stirrup Gallery, Addison Rd Community Centre in Marrickville, opening this Thursday 17 December.
My artwork "Together" (cover of the poster) will be exhibit, as well as some printmaking pieces I did in Barcelona last year, and some more handcrafted painted art. See you there!

Every Noise at Once has long existed in shades of gray. This isn't because I don't like colors. I've actually tried a few different ways to add color, mostly through inelegant expedients, but none of them seemed to me to be adding more clarity than confusion.
The idea is to semi-subliminally surface some of the other analytical dimensions from the underlying music space, beyond the two that drive the XY axes, so that there's a little less visual flattening.
For example, in the section on the right, above, you can see the reddish color running from "garage punk blues" to "experimental rock" to "more classic garage rock" and "psychedelic blues-rock", and the light blue linking "alternative new age" to "abstract" to "new tribe". These are good associative threads.
Logistically, this works by mapping three additional acoustic metrics into the red, green and blue color-channels. I arrived at this particular combination through not-at-all-exhaustive experimentation, so maybe I'll come up with a better one, but for the moment red is energy, green is dynamic variation, and blue is instrumentalness. I don't recommend trying to think too hard about this, as the combinatory effects are kind of hard to parse, but it gives your eye things to follow. As data-presentation this is rather undisciplined, but as computational evocation it seems potentially interesting nonetheless.
Which you could say of music, too.
As part of a conference on Music and Genre at McGill University in Montreal, over this past weekend, I served as the non-academic curiosity at the center of a round-table discussion about the nature of musical genres, and of the natures of efforts to understand genres, and of the natures of efforts to understand the efforts to understand genres. Plus or minus one or two levels of abstraction, I forget exactly.
And this is all kind of fractal, so you could search-and-replace Thing with Post Thing or Pop Thing or whatever, and after a couple iterations you can quickly end up with Post-Neo-Traditional Pop Post-Thing.
And it would be awesome.
At Spotify, where I work, we have listeners in a large and growing numbers of countries around the world. You might theorize that people in different countries listen to different music. You might be curious to hear this music. If you are me, you might be really curious, to the point of a kind of obsessive, consuming fear that there is awesome and bizarre and wonderful music in, say, Estonia, that you're not hearing.
We do, in fact, have per-country top-track charts in Spotify itself. These measure the absolute popularity of tracks among the sub-population listening in a given country. Statistically, though, these charts tend to be fairly well dominated by global hits. This isn't a technical flaw, but it does mean that those charts are not especially useful for the purpose of musical tourism. When I say I want to hear what they're listening to in Estonia, I mean that I want to hear what they're listening to Estonia that, proportionally speaking, nobody is listening to anywhere else. I want to hear the music that is most uniquely Estonian, or more precisely the music that is most uniquely loved by Estonians.
So I've been experimenting with code to generate the kind of additional alternate chart that I mean, measuring the most distinctive listening of a country. It's not perfect, and the occasional global hit wanders in due to emotionally irrelevant factors like regional licensing contingencies. But for the most part these charts do appear to be rather effectively getting past the global to the local.
I was going to share an alphabetized list of these, for anybody who shares my curiosity. But I have this code to produce visual maps of music groupings, and it's just as easy to feed it countries as it is to feed it genres. And thus I've done the somewhat bizarre exercise of producing a visual remapping of inherently geographic data using non-geographic coordinates.
This is a readability-adjusted scatter-plot of two acoustic variables averaged across a few thousand of the most popular and representative songs from each country.
The vertical axis is a metric quality we call "bounciness", so the countries at the top are characterized by denser and more atmospheric music, and the countries at the bottom are characterized by sparer music with spikier beats and more space between them. E.g., the constant roar of atmospheric black metal or the slow humming whir of classical organ music would be at the top, and the jumpy beats of hip hop or the pulse of reggae would be at the bottom.
The horizontal axis is another score we call "organism". The countries towards the left are characterized by music with more electric arrangements and/or more mechanical rhythms. The extreme of this quality gets you relentless techno. The countries towards the right are characterized by music with more acoustic arrangements and/or more human and variable rhythms. The extremes of this get you jigs and reels, or sitars.
But what's intriguing here, obviously, is not where individual countries appear, but which countries cluster together. Japan, Australia and Canada all basically fall into acoustic Scandinavia. Africa and the Caribbean form a unified acoustic southern hemisphere. Malaysia is acoustically closer to Slovakia than to China, and Lebanon is acoustically closer to South Korea and Mexico than to Iran. I feel like we are detecting at least the faint echoes of a kind of cultural truth.
Click any country to see the calculated playlist of the 100 most distinctively popular songs in that country. You need Spotify for this to work, and as you'll discover, in some cases international publishing rights work counter to personal curiosity, and less than 100 will actually be available for you to stream. If you're extra-curious, in Spotify Preferences you can uncheck "Hide unplayable tracks", and then you'll at least get to see all 100.
Estonia turns out to be pretty much exactly as awesome as I imagined it had to be if I could only hear it.
We used to call playlists "compilations", and they used to be published on big flat pieces of plastic. Weird.
The one that formed the core of my personal education in "punk" music was a 1984 double-LP from Cherry Red records called Burning Ambitions: A History of Punk.
The Guardian today published a piece by Rob Fitzpatrick that I think is now my favorite thing written about my genre map, because instead of being about the map, it's about the music he found using the map.
One of the things I've been experimenting with at work is finding music by how distinctively it appeals to particular audiences. Mostly we're interested in regional and demographic slices, but out of idle curiosity I tried running the same code against hours of the day.
That is, for each hour in the day I calculated which songs were most disproportionately played during that particular hour as opposed to in general (by US listeners). From this I was able to assemble a compressed 24-song time-lapse exaggeration of the sounds and biases of the American day.
Our caricatured day starts at dawn with a gentle, soothing Jonsí wake-up. It gets a little preachy (literally) over breakfast, but then Seinabo Sey and Shawn Mendes slowly add some restrained alertness as the coffee takes effect. Spoon and Jason Aldean and Sam Smith carry us unhurriedly through late morning and lunch.
Early afternoon is, apparently, the official time-slot for imported Australian boy-pop, as 5 Seconds of Summer and Troye Sivan sigh and swoon for a couple songs. I can't really explain what O.A.R. is doing after that, but then it's a solid block of modern (and largely not child-suitable) pop/hip-hop straight through dinner (including, amusingly, a song called "2AM" that is very definitely more popular at 2PM than 2AM).
Eventually I guess the hip-hop kids go to bed, and the indie/pop-punk kids stay up a little later to briefly rock.
Then it's nighttime, and we get increasingly meditative with Jon Hopkins, Hans Zimmer and Ludovico Einaudi for a while before resorting (and the data really do indicate this) to actual background noise for a couple solid restorative hours of REM sleep.
On Friday, September 26, I'll be giving a "seminar" on music exploration and data alchemy at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology, at the Schulich School of Music at McGill University.
On the 27th and 28th I'll also be participating in a McGill-hosted conference called Music and Genre: New Directions.
Sometimes in blog posts I mention songs. Like Clockwise's "War Story Part One", which is really good. You should listen to it, seriously.
In fact, I would like to help you listen to it, not least because there's really no reason you should listen to it just because I say so, so listening to it better be really easy.
The fancy way would be to go find the track on Spotify, right-click it and pick "Copy Embed Code", and then paste that code into my HTML to get this embedded Play button.
But sometimes I'm just mentioning a song in passing, or in some particular formatting like a table with other stuff, and the fancy embedded thing isn't what I want. It would be nice to also have a lower-overhead way to just mark a song-reference in text as a song-reference, and let some music-intelligence thing somewhere figure out how to actually find and play it.
So I made a first version of such a thing. It's pretty crude, in that you have to know about editing HTML, and be in an environment where you're allowed to. And it just plays a :30 sample, it doesn't log you in and play the whole song. But the HTML itself, at least, is very simple. So if you have a need for which those are acceptable conditions, and you want to try it, here's how it works.
Clockwise "War Story Part One"
When you play an excerpt, a little musical-note link also gets magically inserted, which you can use to go hear the whole song on Spotify if you want.
That's all I've got so far. If you try it, please let me know if it works for you, in either the functional or appealing senses. I'll be here thrashing around to "Snake Jaw" by White Lung.
1: If you have a large page and want things to be playable before the whole page finishes loading, you can attach the onclick handlers yourself instead of waiting for them to be attached automatically. Just add onclick="playmeta(this)" to the same elements you marked with class=play.
A representative track from the album will be chosen automatically by extremely sophisticated and complex logic, by which I mean that it will pick the first track unless the first track is very short and the second track isn't, or the first track has "Intro" in the title, in either of which cases it will pick the second track. Fancy.
This morning I was listening to the Madden Brothers' "We Are Done", which came up on The Echo Nest Discovery list this week. I have the sinking/tingling feeling, and we'll see if I'm right because this isn't necessarily one of my actual talents, that this song is going to become ubiquitous enough in my environment that I'll look back wistfully on listening to it entirely voluntarily.
But listening to it also made me think about Fun's "We Are Young" and Pitbull and JLo's World Cup song "We Are One" and Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". We are, we are, we are, we are. This kind of pointless internal word-association used to dissipate harmlessly inside my head. But now I have the resources to indulge it at scale.
So I made a Spotify playlist of 100 songs that follow the title-pattern "We Are [something]". And then I realized there were more of them, so I made a playlist of 1000 of them. And having done that, it was trivial to make similar playlists for "I Am [something]", You Are [something]", "He Is [something]", "She Is [something]" and "They Are [something]", so I did that, too. And then I have a thing that will summarize the contents of a playlist in various ways, so I ran it on these because why not?
The first thing one finds is that I, You and We songs are way more prevalent than She and They songs. And although there are plenty of He songs, they are disconcertingly overwhelmingly religious, which is kind of different. So I kept the He/She/They playlists for your amusement, but I only analyzed I, You and We.
The I/You/We scores here are average values across the 1000 songs for each title pattern. Most Echo Nest metrics are normalized to be a unit-less decimal value between 0 and 1. Loudness is customarily measured on a weird negative scale, Tempo is in beats-per-minute, and Year is obviously in years.
The Power column measures the discriminatory power of each metric. So the two metrics that discriminate best between these three sets of songs are Acousticness and Energy. The metrics with the least power to discriminate between these sets are Valence (emotional mood), Bounciness (atmospheric density vs spiky jumpiness) and Danceability, all of which vary much more widely within each category than between them. Comparing the whole set to my earlier measurements of genre, year, popularity and country shows that the pronoun sets are about as distinct as sets based on country of origin, and more distinct than sets based on popularity, but less distinct on the whole than sets based on year or genre.
Which is a lot more difference than I expected, actually, particularly between You and We. Individual songs can have any individual character, but taken as an aggregate, "You Are" songs are significantly calmer, more acoustic and more organic in their rhythm. "We Are" songs are more energetic, more electric, notably more mechanically driven, and louder. That is, we sing more tender songs to each other, and more anthems about ourselves together.
We also seem to be singing more We Are songs lately. Or, to be more precise, because these 1000-song subsets are selected by popularity, more-recent We Are songs are a little more popular now in the aggregate. Attentive observers may recall that my earlier study showed correlations between time and both Acousticness and Energy over the years from 1950 to 2013. But both song-sets here are largely more-recent songs from well after the period of greatest historical change for either metric, and the magnitude of difference is significantly larger than the degree of variation predicted by year alone.
The I Am songs fall into an interestingly conflicted middle ground. They are more acoustic and less energetic than the rousing We Are anthems, but not as tender and sensitive as the wistful You Are odes. But while the I Am songs are closer to the You Are songs in rhythmic regularity, they're closer to the We Are songs in tempo.
So while you might reasonably expect We to be a compromise between I and You, this brief study clearly and crushingly demonstrates that the pre-computational centuries of the study of the psychology of self have been a sad speculative waste of time. Music and math prove that our individual selves float suspended between what we project onto others and what we dream that we could achieve together.

You know it's good for you.
Everyone from Clint Eastwood to Gwyneth to Lebron do it.
And yet, you're too busy, have too little time, can't sit long enough and find it incredibly boring.
Meditation is one of those things that sounds good to talk about. You want to be the person who does it. You KNOW you should. But all that pressure and expectation can be serious obstacles. Also, do you need a special cushion? Do you need music and to be able to sit cross legged for a half hour?
So often we delay doing something because we want to be perfect. We want the perfect time to carve it out, the perfect start date, the perfect plan. With meditation, maybe we've downloaded the apps, created a nook in our house and even bought that "cushion" (aka a glorified and overly priced throw pillow).
But something still gets in the way from sitting down and just doing it. But maybe you're looking at the practice all wrong. Meditation does not have to be done in a certain way. It does not have to be seated or even with your eyes closed.
Here are a few ways to start meditating without letting obstacles get in the way.
Accept that meditation is just focused breathing. Meditation does not have to be 20 minutes of you entering into the next level of consciousness and realizing divine enlightenment. Meditation is very simply focused breathing. By tuning your present attention to just the simple in and out of your breath, you're meditating. You can do it in the middle of a meeting, while driving, during dinner or even while working out. Breathe in, hold, breathe out. Do that at least 5 times. Look, you're meditating!
Stop searching for something. Yes, sometimes meditation can bring about greater creativity and new ideas. Sometimes meditating can help you understand that trauma of your past or even forgiveness for someone who hurt you. Maybe you feel something so blissful that you feel you've connected to something bigger than yourself. Awesome. All cool outcomes. But the problem with these experiences is that we have a natural inclination to want them again. So now meditation has turned into outcome chasing. We're searching for that bliss, that surge of passion or swell of compassion. Yet entering into a meditation practice with an expectation totally negates the purpose of the practice. Try and surrender any expectations or outcomes. Try and just be and let what comes, comes…or be okay with what never comes.
Let go of perfect. Seriously. Let go of having a "good" meditation practice. So you lose your focus 20 seconds in and start thinking of what you're having for dinner. Or you get so fidgety you have to get up and walk around after 3 minutes. It's okay. Meditation is a practice. You're not expected to "get there" every time. Even the most practiced meditators can get distracted. You're training the most complex organ in your body and you're up against a lot. Give yourself some grace and try and omit the words "good" and "bad" from your practice.
Pull in reinforcements. Attempting to start or keep a meditation practice in your messy living room, comfy bed or dark basement may not work for you. So, have you considered practicing meditation in a group? There is power in numbers and a group setting can keep you accountable to your developing practice.
In January, our next series of group classes and workshops start and we have four opportunities for you to start or further develop your meditation practice. We use a simple, accessible all-ages, all-levels welcoming attitude when teaching you meditation. Even better, we never take ourselves or the practice too seriously.

Q: Javascript Numeric Form Validation I made a simple little calculator for math class. It does simple things like find volumes and areas of certain shapes, but saves me a lot of time in homework.
I uploaded it to the internet for my classmates, but I figured I would make the forms only be able to have numbers in them. I found some answers on tizag, but I don't really understand those solutions.
I'm looking for something like this:
function calculation() {
    if (form.thenumbers.value = code to check if it is numeric)
    {
        calculations
    } else {
        alert("Numbers only please");
    }
}

If it can't be that simple, I just appreciate a little explanation to how any other way works. Thanks.

A:  if (form.thenumbers.value.match(/^[\d]*$/)){
     //do stuff
 }

Should work for you. This will match the value for a 0 or more digits. If you would like it to match for 1 or more, use + in place of *.

Niger: Issoufou sworn-in for second term, vows to combat terrorism
By Africanews
Niger's President Mahamadou Issoufou, has been sworn into office for a second five-year term after he was reelected in the March 20 poll runoff.
The swearing-in ceremony was held in Niamey and was graced by nine African heads of state who watched Issoufou being sworn on the Quran after which he delivered a brief speech hitting out at terrorism and reiterating calls for a unity government.
Issoufou whose country suffers from Boko Haram insurgency promised to continue the fight against terrorism, "terrorism is an absolute evil," he said, stressing that: "until we have eradicated terrorism in Northern Mali and ended the chaos in Libya, it is useless sleep in peace."
Terrorism is an absolute evil, until we have eradicated terrorism in Northern Mali and ended the chaos in Libya, it is useless sleep in peace.
Issoufou was pushed into a runoff after he failed to clinch a first round victory in February polls, he however won an opposition boycotted runoff by a landslide over Hama Amadou who had been flown to Paris to seek medical treatment.
"On 20 March, the people made their choice in peace and renewed their trust in me for a second term," said Mr. Issoufou, who after the election had offered the opposition to include a government national union proposal currently rejected by the opposition.
Mahamadou Issoufou faces a revolt of the opposition, which rejected his proposal for a national unity government rather calling for a "transition" to conduct new "transparent and credible" elections.
On the security front, six soldiers were killed on Friday in an attack in southeast attributed to Boko Haram. On 17 March, three days before the presidential election, a military commander was killed in a suicide attack in the same area.
The same day, three policemen were killed in western Niger during an attack attributed to Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). These attacks have led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people in the southeast.

One party member went on hunger strike to demand Labour ditch their pact with the SDLP and stand themselves.
Pressure is mounting on the Labour Party to reverse its long standing position on Northern Ireland elections, ditch its pact with the socially conservative SDLP and allow its own candidates to stand.
The Labour Party of Northern Ireland's membership has increased ten-fold in the past two years, many joining to support Jeremy Corbyn — these new members now want candidates to stand in elections, and their voices are growing.
The issue was brought to the fore recently by a short-lived hunger strike by Northern Irish Labour Party member, Matt Beeching.
Calling for British Labour to permit candidates to stand in Northern Ireland, Beeching undertook his protest for a week in July.
Beeching said at the time.
Now, a former chair of LPNI has hit out at Labour saying they are hypocritical in their criticism of the Conservatives deal with the DUP, whilst they themselves have a long standing informal deal with the Social Democrat and Labour Party (SDLP).
"The historical relationship with the SDLP is wrong. Labour are supporting conservative nationalist politics. The SDLP are pro-life and they aren't in favour of integrated education", said Kenny.
Whilst the SDLP lost all their seats in the last Westminster election, traditionally SDLP MPs would take the Labour whip.
The DUP, whilst holding contrasting views on the national question, share the SDLP's positions on reproductive rights and education.
The Labour Party last stood for election in what became Northern Ireland, in 1910. In 2015, LPNI voted to stand in elections, separately, stating they would not disband until party HQ supported them doing so.
Yet Kenny states, "that was more like a publicity stunt, which has wound down. Most of us see that we need HQ to give us the go ahead." Some members received warnings of expulsion, at this time.
Jeremy Corbyn has expressed reluctance to reverse the long-standing position. However, he gained by vast majorities, the largest number of votes from Northern Irish members in the two most recent leadership elections.
The membership increased from around 300 to 3,000 by September 2015, says Kenny and he argues that Corbyn was key to this.
"I joined, like many to vote for Corbyn. Prior to his leadership, the party didn't really exist. At the CLP meeting in 2016, about 72% voted for his leadership", he said.
But Kenny does not think Corbyn's support for unity, matters much to LPNI members, who he states, see social issues as most important.
"There is no such thing as an honest broker in Northern Ireland. But Corbyn's view, of supporting unity by consent, is not a new position, it is common across the left and right of the party", he said.
What hope do Northern Irish Labour activists have of overturning the policy?
The Northern Ireland CLP is currently undergoing a review by the NEC, which it is obliged to do, after a court ruling in 2005 solidified the right for Northern Irish citizens to join British Labour. The ruling states the NEC must review the right to stand, every Parliament.
Kenny believes that Labour's brand of socialism is the antidote to nationalism, of the green and orange kind. It seems however, that Northern Ireland might continue to be an ailment, too big, for British Labour to face.
Kylie Noble is a freelance journalist, currently based in Belfast. She is a graduate of the University of Sheffield and Queen's University Belfast.
I want and demand that as a Labour Party paid up member and supporter of MOMENTUM that the Labour Party through its democratic membership and Executive immediately raise the withdrawal and exclusion from any pact or arrangement with any and all other legitimate political parties in Northern Ireland and to vote at National Conference for the extablishment of the right for Labour Party NI members to stand Labour Party NI candidates for South Belfast in the next local and upcoming national elections.
Kylie says "Labour stopped standing candidates in 1910" However, this airbrushes out the Northern Ireland Labour Party which operated from the time of partition until the early 1970's. It was mainly seen as tending towards the unionist position, but did have support in some nationalist areas. I had a number of Stormont MP's and one Westminster MP in the 1940's.
It does no good until the party makes clear where it stands on the nationalist question. If it were take a neutral position, all well a good, but this would be a position capable of wither annoying or pleasing both communities. Remember that taking a unionist position in Scotland has severely hurt the Scottish Labour Party.
