Architecture and design are crucial components of any type of real estate. Smartly and beautifully designed buildings earn both acclaim and higher sales prices in the real estate industry.
Architecture and Design Q&A
How do architecture and design influence real estate?
Buildings with beautiful or historically significant architecture are often highly valued on the market. Aesthetic and intelligent designs also increase property value and make a space stand out to buyers. Buyers may seek out a specific style, or attempt to find architects or designers to create new styles. In the residential market, interior designers and stagers can be an influential factor in selling a home. Commercial tenants who work in retail or office spaces often value the design of a space's interior, wanting aesthetically pleasing furniture or layouts, and spaces that are well-designed to suit the client's need.

Anger Over Rise in Homelessness Prompts Bid to Recall Garcetti
Posted by Contributing Editor on June 19, 2019 in Life | 61 Views | Leave a response
A group of residents upset over the rise in homelessness in the city formally began a drive Wednesday to recall Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, an effort a mayoral spokesman called an unfortunate political stunt.
"The homeless situation is in a state of emergency, and everything that we've done has not worked," Alexandra Datig, the leader of the recall effort, told City News Service. "At this point, I think we need an intervention, and we need to recall this mayor."
Datig created the website www.recallthelamayor.com, which posts news articles and broadcast clips on homelessness in Los Angeles, and also outlines her reasons for why she believes Garcetti should be removed from office.
"The city of Los Angeles is failing to prevent homelessness," Datig said while standing on the steps of City Hall with members of her group. "Because of Eric Garcetti's failed leadership, becoming homeless in Los Angeles has become a death sentence, for some. We ask that you accept your failure and that you step down."
Bill Carrick, a campaign consultant for Garcetti, said the recall effort is nothing more than a "political game," and he insisted the mayor has done significant work to address the city's homelessness crisis.
"The mayor has invested time, effort, energy and focus to try and deal with what is a city crisis," Carrick said. "To play games with a stunt-driven recall is just unfortunate."
The recall group includes David Hernandez, Benito Benny Bernal, Rick and Robin Marcelli. Datig said they have not yet started fundraising efforts to gather signatures, but various groups have been in contact with them, pledging support for the effort. She said she's self-funded the effort with a few supporters thus far. The group served the mayor the notice Wednesday and it was acknowledged by the city clerk.
If the recall effort is eventually certified by the clerk's office, Datig and her supporters would have to collect nearly 315,000 signatures of registered city voters.
Hernandez said it would be naive to think they could gather the hundreds of thousands of signatures needed by the August deadline to try to recall the mayor by the March 2020 primary, but they will try to meet the April 2020 deadline for the general election. He also said they would need to gather 500,000 signatures to reach the goal, as many signatures will likely not qualify once reviewed by election officials.
"I know full well what we are stepping into," Hernandez said. "We're not running to replace the mayor, but there are individuals out there, in their political future, who are looking to do that."
There have been two recall efforts of Los Angeles City Council members in recent years, according to documents from the City Clerk's Office, but neither effort was able to file a petition before their expiration dates.
Datig, who works as a consultant, said she was motivated to initiate the recall drive after the recent release of numbers showing that the city's homeless population increased by 16 percent over the past year. The countywide homeless population rose by 12 percent.
"`I've seen the crisis (expand) because I work and live downtown," she said. "… Everyone is overwhelmed."
She started a petition on the Change.org website asking people to sign in favor of removing Garcetti from office, and more than 9,200 people had done so as of Wednesday morning. The online petition carries no official weight in a recall drive.

Best Buy slides 9% on weak holiday sales and soft 2022 revenue guidance
Carla Mozée
Best Buy shares hit an intraday low of $103.39 in heavy volume after the retailer's fourth-quarter report.
The company's quarterly revenue of $16.9 billion fell short of expectations of $17.2 billion.
Jefferies says Fry's Electronics closing shop could bring $400 million in sales for Best Buy.
Get the inside scoop on what traders are talking about — delivered daily to your inbox.
Best Buy stock slumped Thursday, hurt by fourth-quarter revenue that fell short of Wall Street's target and the electronic retailer's outlook for a potential decline in same-store sales in the current quarter.
Revenue was $16.94 billion for the period ended January 31. That result missed expectations of $17.2 billion but was higher than $15.2 billion in revenue generated in the same quarter last year.
Demand for technology "remains at elevated levels" at the start of fiscal 2022 but the company said there's also still significant uncertainty about how customer trends will develop with the COVID-19 pandemic still ongoing. It forecast a decline of 2% to growth of 1% in comparable sales for the fiscal year.
Shares slumped as much as 9% with an intraday low of $103.39 then trimmed the loss to 5.8%. Volume was heavy, with 4.1 million shares traded to outpace average daily volume of 3.04 million.
The same-store sales outlook "assumes that customers resume or accelerate spend in areas that were slowed during the pandemic, such as travel and dining out, in the back half of the year," said Best Buy in its earnings statement.
Adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter were $3.10 per share, beating Wall Street's projection of $3.45 per share. The adjusted earnings rose from $2.84 per share a year earlier.
What could help sales for Best Buy, said Jefferies on Thursday, is the bust-up of Fry's Electronics which on Wednesday said it was closing its 31 stores in nine states after nearly 36 years in business.
"[We] believe the total dollar share clinched by Best Buy could be in excess of $400 million. We reiterate our Buy-rating on shares," said Jonathan Matuszewski, a consumer analyst at Jefferies, in a note to clients.
Matuszewski said the estimate was based on its overlap analysis that suggested an average of two Best Buy stores within a 15-minute drive of Fry's locations, with more than 20% of markets having three to four Best Buy stores in close proximity. Fry's said it is shutting its doors "as a result of changes in the retail industry and the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic."
Best Buy's stock has risen roughly 7% this year and has logged a 12-month rise of 36%.

Households who are loyal to their energy supplier 'pay up to £230 more a year' - and new rules could be pushing bills higher
Former energy regulators questions Ofgem's role in the removal of tariffs for vulnerable customers
Tariff restrictions 'are not in the best interests of customers' says Npower
By Rachel Rickard Straus for Thisismoney.co.uk
Published: 09:23 EST, 11 August 2014 | Updated: 11:20 EST, 11 August 2014
Households who are loyal to their energy company are being charged up to £230 a year more than those who have switched, new figures suggest.
Price comparison website uSwitch.com compared the cheapest online deals – enjoyed by customers who have switched – to the standard dual-fuel tariffs that customers who pay by cash or cheque are put on to if they do not switch supplier.
It found that the difference between the cheapest and standard plans of the big six energy suppliers can be as high as £232 a year - and £180 a year on average.
A waste of money? Customers who do not switch could be spending more than £200 extra on their energy
The figures will raise questions about reforms introduced by the regulator Ofgem to make tariffs easier and fairer for households.
Before the reforms in 2012, the average standard tariff was just £167 more expensive than the cheapest online deals, according to uSwitch.com.

Two million make a big switch from the Big Six: The major energy suppliers pay the price as soaring bills spark exodus
Ofgem has also come under fire today from a group of former energy regulators who suggested that its new rules may be to blame for higher gas and electricity bills and weakened competition.
In a submission to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which is conducting a full-scale probe into the sector, they called for an 'unbiased' analysis of the effect of regulators' interventions.
The letter is signed by former executives at Ofgem and its predecessors Ofgas and Offer, with experience from 1989 to 2010. They said questions had been raised 'as to the appropriateness and effectiveness of a number of these interventions'.
Several tariffs designed to benefit older customers and those on lower incomes have been withdrawn from the market since Ofgem's reforms were introduced this year.
In particular, Eon's Staywarm tariff, which allowed customers over 60 years old to pay a fixed amount for their fuel every month, irrespective of the amount they used, has been removed.
Similarly, tariffs without a standing charge, once enjoyed by some older customers, have been withdrawn.
The former energy regulators questioned whether Ofgem was in part to blame and called on the CMA to investigate.
As part of its reforms, Ofgem limited the number of tariffs that any supplier could offer to four. The idea was to simplify tariffs for customers and improve transparency.
But the fallout was that energy suppliers withdrew tariffs that benefited some of its poorer and older customers.
Ofgem has in the past pointed out that it did not force suppliers to remove these tariffs – it merely restricted the number of tariffs, but did not suggest those beneficial to vulnerable customers should be the ones to go.
Working for customers? The CMA is looking into whether the energy market is working in the best interests of households
But the former regulators claimed there was 'some ambiguity about how far Ofgem's new regulations are responsible'.
They added: 'We therefore urge the CMA to investigate the reasons for the withdrawal of such tariffs, and to consider whether such outcomes are consistent with promoting competition and meeting social objectives'.
Npower today also raised questions about the tariff restrictions.
It pointed out that one of the anticipated benefits of smart meters is that energy suppliers will be able to offer customers tariffs to suit their habits. For example, customers who do most of their household chores on the weekend could benefit from a tariff that offers cheaper energy at these times.
But restricting tariffs to just four would make such options almost impossible.

'RWE does not believe that the restriction to four tariffs is in the best interests of consumers as it unnecessarily restricts competition, choice and innovation,' it said.
The letter from the former regulators also pointed to the recent growth of small suppliers, which may reflect their exemption from the so-called 'green levies' imposed by the Government to pay for environmental and social programmes.
The CMA has already said in its 'statement of issues' that it will look into whether this exemption - for suppliers with fewer than 250,000 customer accounts - is acting as a 'barrier to expansion'.
The letter added: 'Because this investigation involves issues of confidence and trust in market and regulatory arrangements, it is important that the CMA's analysis and report should be, and should be seen to be, independent of Ofgem.'
It was signed by Stephen Littlechild, former head of Offer; Sir Callum McCarthy, former chairman and chief executive of Ofgem; former Ofgem executives Eileen Marshall and Stephen Smith; and former Ofgas head Clare Spottiswoode.
An Ofgem spokesman said: 'Many of the current problems with retail competition in the energy market were showing before 2008 and the regulatory and policy environment has changed significantly since then.
'Our reforms to make the market simpler, fairer and clearer for consumers have been in place since earlier this year with the aim of tackling some of the issues affecting competition.
'Ofgem is fully focused on improving both regulatory and market performance for the benefit of consumers, including by co-operating with the CMA investigation that we initiated.
'In this context we will certainly pay close attention to the views of past energy regulators, as we do to all views and opinions that might contribute to better future performance.'
Ofgem referred the energy sector for a full-scale competition probe earlier this year, saying soaring household bills and intensifying public distrust highlighted the need for an investigation.
It said energy retail profits increased from £233million in 2009 to £1.1billion in 2012. It also found prices had risen by 24 per cent over the period, well ahead of the rate of inflation at 13.8 per cent.
The 18-month probe could see Britain's Big Six energy suppliers broken up.
Emma Bush, energy expert at uSwitch.com, added: 'The difference between the cheapest and standard plans of the big six can be as much as £232 a year.
'Given the fact that just ten per cent switched supplier in the past 12 months, millions of people could be sat unnecessarily on the most expensive tariff, so we'd urge consumers to check they're not paying over the odds.'
HOW MUCH COULD YOU SAVE BY SWITCHING?
Energy tariff prices are in a constant merry-go-round with suppliers battling to pinch customers - you - from each other.
Shrewd consumers can take advantage of this by doing exactly that - moving deals every six months to a year to ensure they are on THE cheapest deal. Even moving every other year will save you significant amounts.
If you are one of the millions of people who have NEVER switched (i.e. stuck with your original supplier), then you will DEFINITELY save a big chunk of cash, possibly as much as £300 a year.
People power: MAKE your provider offer you a better deal!
Mail Online's award-winning money section This is Money has joined forces with energyhelpline to launch The Energy Switch, which could help you save even more money.
Readers can team up with thousands of other people and use their collective power to negotiate a unique better deal on their energy bills.
This one-off special deal will give you the chance to switch to a cheaper supplier ahead of any winter energy price rises and turns the table on energy firms - rather than households having to hunt out a better deal, they will be competing to offer you one.
The last collective switch by energyhelpline saw 50,000 people sign up and those who switched save £221 on average.

Suppliers offer their cheapest rates via online tariffs so if you're ready to switch, it will certainly pay to do so.
Don't forget, prices are different all over the country and the cheapest supplier for you will depend where you live.
You only need to be interested in the tariff that is going to be cheapest where you live, so do your own comparison to find the best price.

Moderna and IBM Plan to Collaborate on COVID-19 Vaccine Supply Chain and Distribution Data Sharing
Initial focus on technologies aiming to bolster trust and help reduce community spread
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and ARMONK, N.Y., March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Moderna (Nasdaq: MRNA) and IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced their intentions to explore technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain and hybrid cloud, that could help support smarter COVID-19 vaccine management. Central to the effort will be a pilot of open, standardized, technology-enabled vaccine distribution approaches aimed to improve supply chain visibility and foster near real-time tracking of vaccine administration.
The aim is to identify ways technology can be used to help accelerate secure, information sharing between governments, healthcare providers, life science organizations and individuals. In so doing, Moderna and IBM seek to improve confidence in vaccine programs and increase rates of vaccination, thereby reducing community spread.
Initial work is planned to focus on exploring the utility of IBM capabilities in the U.S. including:
Vaccine management solutions that provide end-to-end traceability to address potential supply chain disruptions. The solutions enable governments and healthcare providers to quickly and securely share data regarding individual vaccine batches as they travel through the complex COVID-19 supply chain, from manufacturing facilities to administration sites.
Digital Health Pass, built on blockchain technology, is a solution designed to help individuals maintain control of their personal health information and share it in a way that is secured, verifiable and trusted. Organizations can use the solution to verify health credentials for employees, customers and travelers based on criteria specified by the organization, such as test results, vaccination records and temperature checks.
"Moderna is committed to working with a coalition of partners to increase education and awareness of the importance of vaccination to help defeat COVID-19," said Michael Mullette, VP, Managing Director North America Commercial Operations of Moderna. "We look forward to working with IBM to apply digital innovations to build connections between organizations, governments, and individuals to instill confidence in COVID-19 vaccines."
"If ever there was a time to rally around open technology and collaboration, it's now," said Jason Kelley, Managing Partner, Global Strategic Alliances Leader for IBM. "As governments, pharmacy chains, healthcare providers and life sciences companies continue to scale and connect their tools, and as new players enter the supply chain, open technology can help drive more transparency and bolster trust, while helping to ensure accessibility and equity in the process."
The work with Moderna aligns with IBM's efforts to help address the COVID-19 pandemic by providing access to its technology portfolio. At the outset of the pandemic, IBM joined the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and other technology companies as part of the COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium, a partnership to give supercomputing resources to researchers to help speed the discovery and development of COVID-19 vaccines. IBM also offered its IBM Clinical Development (ICD) solution to eligible trial sponsor organizations as part of its medical community support efforts to help address the pandemic. The company received interest from numerous hospitals, sponsors, contract research organizations and academic institutions.

About Moderna
In 10 years since its inception, Moderna has transformed from a science research-stage company advancing programs in the promising-but-still-unproven field of messenger RNA (mRNA), to an enterprise with its first medicine having treated millions of people, a diverse clinical portfolio of vaccines and therapeutics across six modalities, a broad intellectual property portfolio in areas including mRNA and lipid nanoparticle formulation, and an integrated manufacturing plant that allows for both clinical and commercial production at scale and at unprecedented speed.

PMQ Takes A Tour Through the Museum of Pizza Pop-Up Exhibition in New York
The Museum of Pizza (MoPi), the world's first and only immersive "Instagrammable experience" celebrating pizza, opened from October 13 to November 18 at the William Vale Hotel in Brooklyn, New York. The pop-up multisensory museum featured a mozzarella cheese cave and pizza playground—complete with a colorful papier mâché pizza beach—as well as hand-picked selections from the legendary collection of pizza boxes from around the globe.
If you're not up-to-date on all of the latest social media-based movements, we'll get you up to speed: Dominating social media and growing in popularity around America, food-focused pop-ups have been cropping up around the country—everything from the Museum of Ice Cream and The CADO (dedicated to California avocados) to the Hall of Breakfast. These pop-up museums have turned into perfect opportunities for museum-goers to nab an "Instagrammable experience," providing backdrops that lend themselves to fun pics that visitors can then post online (and thereby help spread the word on social media).
"It's often that the simplest ideas are the best," says Alexandra Serio, chief content officer at Nameless Network, the firm that cooked up the MoPi idea. "We wanted to use pizza's ubiquitous appeal to get people through the door and looking at art and hearing about history in a different format."
For $35 per ticket, museum-goers were treated to one slice of pizza and unique immersive exhibits by artists and designers, including Optical Animal, Adam Green, Signe Pierce, Emma Stern, Gazoo, Hilary Hubanks, ShawnaX, Pinky Weber, plus curated artwork by RJ Supa. (Photo: Heather Cray)
Weiner himself was also an "exhibit" at the pop-up: From the lobby, historical pizza timelines, celebrity quotes and other pizza facts were projected from old-fashioned 16-millimeter slides, alongside Weiner in hologram form giving a pizza history lesson. (Photo: Heather Cray)
Singer/songwriter Andrew W.K.'s handpainted pizza guitar in the Psychedelic Pizza Parlor room hung with exhibits by other artists, including Jeremy Couillard, Adam Parker Smith and Hein Koh. "We gave 'pizza' as a subject to a bunch of artists and let them do whatever they wanted," says Max Nelson, co-founder and chief digital officer of Nameless Network. (Photos: Heather Cray)
The Future Is Pizza room offered an opportunity for patrons to take pizza-oriented selfies. "It is so much fun and interactive," said pizza fan and Brooklyn resident Dakota Delphine. "An attendant in each exhibit will help you come up with creative boomerangs for social media." Pizza boxes sat as props in the black-lit room, leading to more than a dozen other pizza-themed exhibits. Works ranged from the Cheese Cave, created by Caleb Gilbert of production company 11th Street Workshop, inspired by the Joita Grotto, Lebanon's largest cave, to the movie set-worthy backdrop in the Pizza Beach room by designer Adam Green. (Photo: Heather Cray)
Rooms were also dedicated to corporate sponsors, with themes including DiGiorno's Pizza Playground, Hidden Valley's Pizza Parlor, and Totino's Pizza Heaven. (Photo: Heather Cray)
Brooklyn is not the only place to host a pizza museum. The Pizza Experience in Pasadena, California, and the U.S. Pizza Museum in Chicago both have pizza-themed museums. Although they may not be exactly like MoPi, pizza professionals and fans can still plan their own pizza adventures to these destinations in 2019. (Photos: Heather Cray)

All posts tagged "National Hockey League"
Over the past year we've written quite a bit about the business of sports, and unfortunately, lockouts in the National Football League (NFL) and National Basketball Association (NBA) have given us quite a bit to discuss. We haven't said much about things going on in the National Hockey League (NHL), perhaps because the script has come to seem so familiar, and there seemed little doubt that after some fireworks, things would finally result in a an unsatisfying deal that got everyone back on the ice a bit late, but in time for a meaningful season. Now it's December, and they still ain't playing.

Summer and I have a love-hate relationship. I love everything going on during summer, but I hate the weather. I'm one of *those* people who hate the extremes. Just give me 70-75 and I'm good (even with a little rain). There just something about being all sweaty that makes all the great things about summer a little less enjoyable.
There's been a lot going on around my neck of the woods here lately. My son is STILL sick. They mentioned him possibly having asthma, but they don't want to label him having that just yet. Hopefully, if it is asthma, it'll be the kind he grows out of. They put him on a steroid treatment and sent him for a chest x-ray just to make sure it wasn't pneumonia. Luckily, it's just a virus (they think) inflaming everything, so hopefully he'll be better here in a little while. His cough definitely isn't as wet sounding anymore, so that's a good sign.
Aside from all of the meds he's been taking, he still is an outdoors man. This kid would live outside if I let him (I'm pretty sure I've already mentioned that but let me reiterate it). Our new thing this week is picking these beauties.
I was blessed with a non-picky eater (for now anyway). He LOVES fruits and veggies. So, for dinner and snack here lately, we've been having blackberries. When I say we have hundreds of wild blackberry bushes, I mean literally hundreds. We have an awesome crop this year too and I'm totally excited that my son is obsessed with picking these. Granted, he only picks them and eats them, but I'm super proud that my 18 month old can distinguish between a ripe blackberry and a not ripe one. It did take him a couple of red ones to realize it, but he got a hang of it quickly.
With all these blackberries coming in, I'm definitely going to take the time to test out some of our Home Economics recipes. Here's one for a blackberry cake (http://libcdm1.uncg.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/HENP/id/74/rec/4), blackberry jam (http://libcdm1.uncg.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/HENP/id/91/rec/3) or this one (http://libcdm1.uncg.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/HENP/id/696/rec/6) or this one (http://libcdm1.uncg.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/HENP/id/71/rec/9). We sure do have a lot of blackberry jam recipes! Maybe some blackberry punch will work (http://libcdm1.uncg.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/HENP/id/105/rec/8). MMM….blackberry pie!(http://libcdm1.uncg.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/HENP/id/79/rec/11)!
Yeah, I know, too many links. They are more for my reference so I can have a quick way to get back to the recipes. So, you can just skip over the above paragraph, unless of course you want to try making some stuff with blackberries.
Plums are also starting to come in. I'll save all those recipe links for another day though =). I normally just leave the plums for the animals since we really don't eat a lot of jellies or jams but I think I'll make something with these this year. They look really good.
The other thing that makes me smile about summer is calving season. Who doesn't love an adorable calf?
All these things I love absolutely love about summer. We went wading in the creek the other day and it was heavenly. I love making memories!


UNITED NATIONS: In the wake of widespread conflict and violence across the world, renowned Indian educationist Jagdish Gandhi is advocating the need for overhauling educational content to help broaden a child's perspective from "narrow nationalism to globalism."
Gandhi is in United Nations to participate in the ongoing 65th UN DPI/NGO Conference, the annual UN conference for non-governmental organisations that has brought together civil society members to discuss the way forward after the deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) ends next year.
He said with people fighting in the name of caste, creed and religion, there is need to influence the mindset of children at a very young age so that they learn to respect other religions and faiths.
"Looking at the changing world scenario, the content of education for the 21st century must be different from that of the 20th century. It must broaden a child's perspective from narrow nationalism to globalism," Gandhi.
Gandhi is the founder-manager of the City Montessori Schools in Lucknow.
The UN Department of Public Information's (DPI) Committee on Non-Governmental Organisations declared The City Montessori School Society as an associated NGO with the DPI for its work towards raising public awareness about the purposes and activities of the UN and issues of global concerns.
Gandhi said he would be meeting with members of civil societies and global think tanks at the world body and propagate his message of imparting balanced education that teaches young children about the material, human and divine realities of life.
He stressed that there is need for "balanced education" for young children in schools across the world that encompasses religious and spiritual values as well as adherence towards law, order and justice.
He said education must also act as a powerful instrument of profound social transformation that helps address problems of terrorism, violence and lawlessness.
The theme for this year's conference, a joint effort between UN DPI and the Executive Committee of NGOs associated with DPI, is '2015 and Beyond: Our Action Agenda'.
The conference would focus on areas of poverty eradication, sustainability, climate justice, human rights and partnerships and accountability frameworks.

Q: Convert time() from SQL for monthly sales PHP I want to make monthly sales from the sales table but i store date data using time() format
Example :
UserID | Product | Date
1      | Hot Dog | 1504363230
4      | Chicken | 1504695631
1      | Potato  | 1504761716
3      | Spinach | 1505003789

So, how can i create monthly sales from there without replace Date into date() ? Because it will take a long time if i have to change 300K row
What should i do ?

Select * FROM Sales WHERE UserID = UserID AND Date = ?

the output must be like this

UserID 1 do 2 transaction in the last month   or  UserID 1 do 3 transaction in this
  month

A: A PHP solution would be to use the second parameter in the date function:
string date ( string $format [, int $timestamp = time() ] )

The optional timestamp parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a timestamp is not given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time().

A: EDIT:
I think this should work for you. I guess you want to avoid PHP's date() but MySQL's DATE() is okay.
SELECT
    COUNT(*) AS nb_transaction,
    UserID
FROM
    sales
WHERE
    DATE(`Date`) LIKE '2018-06-%'

Of course replace the month with the one you are looking for.

SQL (will be faster than PHP):
You can convert any UNIX Timestamp using FROM_UNIXTIME() to any format:

FROM_UNIXTIME(`Date`, '%Y %D %M %h:%i:%s')

PHP:
The time() function returns a UNIX Timestamp.

If you want to display a date using one, you can use DateTime::setTimestamp:
$date = new DateTime();
$date->setTimestamp($row['Date']);
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');    // Hot Dog = 2017-09-02 14:40:30

Or shortly:
echo (new DateTime())->setTimestamp($row['Date'])->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

A: You can convert a unix timestamp to a datetime string in MySQL with FROM_UNIXTIME.
SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(`Date`) as `Datetime` FROM sales

You can then expand on this with other date functions like MONTH or YEAR
SELECT MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(`Date`)) as `Month` FROM sales

A: $timestamp = 1517317337107; $date=date('Y-m-d H:i:s',
   $timestamp/1000);
 echo "date and time : ". $date."
";
   $month=date('Y-m-d',$timestamp/1000);
 echo "only date : ".$month."
";

#output
date and time : 2018-01-30 13:02:17
only date : 2018-01-30

hope this will help

MOBA style games are definitely becoming a trend, however there still hasn't been a decent game for smartphones within this sub-genre, and certainly not one that could ever come close to rivaling DOTA 2 or League of Legends. That being said, Mobile Legends has come up with a shameless but equally fun League of Legends clone with multi-player online gaming; and it has nothing to envy from its PC counterparts.
The game lets you clash with up to 5 vs 5 players using tactical controls on your screen. It's up to you to wipe out enemy fortifications while controlling your hero and improving your own terrain. You'll also need to manage creating and training your minions.
Mobile Legends is a Free-to-Play game, but luckily enough, it's monetization system is limited to aesthetic improvements, which is why the real potential here is left unspoiled and laid visible on the battleground where victory will only be yours if you're a truly skilled player, not by buying your way up. As you play, you'll get to unlock new heroes and get experience in your specialization to gain new ground on international ranking boards.
Android 4.0.3 or higher required.


Solid Fuel, thoughts and observations.
Solid fuel is an important part of my bug-out /get-home bag. In a pinch you can boil water without having to gather wood and I don't have to carry a larger, heavier gas (propane, butane, white, etc.) stove. They make it much easier to get a fire started especially if you can't find any good tinder or dry wood. Below are a few types of fuel that I have used for which I will give you my experience and opinion. Keep in mind that there are other types of 'solid' fuels available and you can make your own version out of cotton balls and petroleum jelly.
I'll start off by saying that Esbit is my preferred fuel tablet. Having used all of these different types of fuel I can easily say that Esbit is the superior product. It burns the hottest, its the safest, and is the most versatile solid fuel. It burns clean and is easy to light. It can be used to boil water, as a heat source or fire starter. They are each individually wrapped which is a plus.
Hexane tablets are my second choice. They burn hot andclean but are not quite as easy to light as the Esbit fuel. My biggest concern is the potential health risks. They are made with formaldehyde and ammonia. If they are accidentally swallowed by a child, or even held with wet or sweaty hands they will degrade into formaldehyde which is very dangerous. My kids know no to eat them but it's still a concern. The Esbit fuel is not safe to eat either but I don't believe that they are as enticing as these candy looking tablets. Esbit tablets also have a 'fishy' smell to them which should make them seem less edible. Don't worry, they don't stink while burning.
Trioxane fuel is the least expensive of these four options, however it does not burn nearly as long as any of them. Trioxane burns hot and clean and lights with a spark whereas the others require a flame to light directly. This makes it better as a fire starter than the others. Because it does not last long it does not work as well to boil water but rather works best to warm an MRE which is what I believe it was designed for. Once you open the foil package it will dry out/evaporate. I also found that it left a residue on my hands that was difficult to remove.
This gel fuel is alcohol based so essentially it is 'Sterno' in a packet. It lights fairly easily and burns clean but my problem with the gel is that it can be messy to work with. It is heavier than the other fuels and I am concerned that there is a potential of it leaking in my pack. Also, you'll need another bag or container to hold the leftover fuel.
Overall, Esbit is easily the superior fuel for me. I use it along with the collapsible Esbit stove which makes it very easy to carry and the tablets store safely inside. Please note that all of these products require good ventilation and are not for use indoors.

The AMISOM CIMIC Office of the Kenyan Contingent in Sector 2 has in the past few months embarked on offering outpatient medical services, provision of water through sinking of boreholes and water pans and building of latrines throughout the sector.
In Afmadhow town in Lower Jubba Region over 1,000 local residents have benefited from the outpatient medical services including medical checkups and provision of pharmaceutical drugs offered by the AMISOM troops.
Three water pans were also recently constructed in Fafadhun in Gedo Region by the engineer component in the contingent. The water pans now supplement the previous sole functional water pan in the area. This has made it easy for the residents to access water for both domestic and livestock use, improving their ability to maintain a sustainable livelihood.
Additionaly, in Afmadhow the CIMIC team sunk a new borehole which is expected to be commissioned soon. Once operational, perennial water shortage in the area during the long dry season will be a thing of the past.
In Degelema which is about 10 kilometers to the South East of Dhobley, residents benefited from ten latrines built by the AMISOM team. The building of the latrines was necessitated by an urgent need for latrines in the area. Before, many families were forced to use the few latrines available. The villagers were also taken through a sensitization program on matters related to hygiene.


By Dave Yochum. If business owners start to meet, greet and network in a new way during the 2020s, chances are Jim Vogel will be leading the way.
The founder of Lake Norman Small Business Network attracts 70 to 90 people at stand-up networking meetings every Wednesday morning in Cornelius.
It all began as a Facebook page in August of 2014. Next thing you know there were 200 people on the page, "so we decided 10 percent might show up for a meeting," Vogel recalls.
The first non-virtual meeting of the Lake Norman Small Business Network was held around a table at Waterbean Coffee in Cornelius. There were eight people.
Now the LKNSBN Facebook page has more than 3,000 members who post lively comments about needing a freelance PR writer, a hair stylist or car detailing, for example, as well as moving to a new location or the chance to attend an empowerment seminar.
It's a free online and offline networking group, with no categories or restrictions except that members must live in the Lake Norman region.
"I'm not a very bureaucratic being, so we don't have a lot of rules," says Vogel, who launched a similar networking group in the Raleigh area before moving here.
"I noticed there were no groups out there that were free and totally inclusive and offered an opportunity for networking with small business owners and entrepreneurs," he says.
Vogel himself is a former Ford Motor Co. internal communications specialist who went on to a job teaching at Hendrick University. When the economy ran out of gas during the Great Recession, he was looking for work and soon met people in similar straits.
He launched the Small Business Network in Apex, and reinvented himself as an entrepreneur by opening IMU Social Media, which uses contract writers to provide content for small business social media.
SBN is more like a community than a chamber, says Vogel, who is a member of the Lake Norman Chamber Board of Directors. "The key is because we're free and give great visibility, people want to join our group," he explains.
Of course, networking groups can get stale, with a same old, same old feel, too many rules and, well, blowhards who talk way too much. LKNSBN meetings are stand-up affairs which keeps everyone on their toes. The de rigueur 60-second "elevator" speech is limited to 20 seconds.
What happens if an LKNSBN member runs 45 seconds or event 60 seconds?
"I'm a nice guy," Vogel says with a smile.
He used the words "secret sauce" a couple of times to explain the LKNSBN success.
And then Vogel said the "true secret sauce" consists of small member meet-ups, perhaps one-on-one or one-on-two or three.
Meeting info: Old Town Public House, 21314 Catawba Ave., Cornelius, 9 a.m. each Wednesday, starting May 2.


HCl maintains the acidic environment of the stomach, which facilitates the proteolytic effects of pepsin.
HCl is needed to control colonization of the upper digestive tract by microorganisms (Ann Intern Med 1973;78:271-6).
Low HCl production has been linked with various common disorders such as food allergy (Eur J Pediatr 1980;134:249-54) and gallstones (Lancet 1967;i:413-5).
HCl is important for the optimum absorption of nutrients such as iron (J Lab Clin Med 1978;92: 108-16), vitamin B12 (Postgrad Med 1990; 88:147-150), and beta-carotene (Am J Clin Nutr 1996;64:622-6).

Michael Day (@daisy8ball) has been in terrific form for us this week. Now he's found a handicap bet to get stuck into.
With no disrespect to either Barry Hawkins or Mark Allen, I don't see either one of them in the necessary form to win the whole tournament, but one of them will entertain a quarter-final spot with their last 16 clash starting Friday afternoon.
Hawkins survived a real late onslaught by Matthew Selt in round one. Blowing huge leads is rapidly becoming a trait of his.
Allen initially fell behind to Ryan Day in his opener, but in the end had a surprisingly easy passage winning 10-3. He was solid, but unspectacular.
The Northern Irishman had an amazing start to the 2014/2015 season – this was highlighted by four consecutive finals, one of which was a win in the Paul Hunter Classic PTC event. But since a 10-7 loss to Ricky Walden in November's International Championship final, results and fortunes have curtailed somewhat.
Looking through the trusty record book I was shocked by this pairs head to head record. Allen has won eight out of the nine career meetings; although 'The Hawk' won the last in the 2013 German Masters.
A number of those encounters were in the short unique format of the Championship League however, but the duo did meet at this exact stage of the World Championship in 2011 when Allen scraped it 13-12.
He's also favourite for this game at a price of 4/6; which I think is bang on right. To put a bit more treacle on the wager, I think Allen -1.5 frames with William Hill at 10/11 is achievable. You'll win the bet if 'The Pistol' comes out a 13-11 winner or better.
Back either of these players to win with Betfair and if they lose in the deciding frame your stake will be refunded as a free bet.

A flight headed from Washington to Denver had to return to Dulles International Airport after a pilot told air traffic controllers a passenger had become violent, ran toward the cockpit and had to be restrained by other passengers.
Another passenger on the flight said the man who had to be restrained made references to jihad.
United Airlines spokesman Luke Punzenberger said in an emailed statement that Flight 1074 returned after takeoff Monday evening. Local police met the aircraft at the gate and detained the passenger, he said. His statement did not provide further details about what happened on board the Boeing 737.
Airport spokeswoman Kimberly Gibbs said the passenger was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and has not been charged.
Recordings of communications between pilots and air traffic controllers on the website LiveATC.net indicate pilots turned around after a passenger ran toward the cockpit and had to be restrained.
The pilot, in a calm voice, said he was "declaring an emergency due to a passenger disturbance. He's restrained. We need to return to the airport," according to the LiveATC.net recording.
The pilot later explained that "we had a passenger becoming violent" and that he "ran toward the cockpit."
After being asked by controllers, he reported that the incident was a "Level 2" disturbance, the second lowest level of severity on a four-level scale used by the industry. A Level 2 disturbance indicates physically abusive behavior but no life-threatening behavior.
Curtis Tellam of Superior, Colorado, said his wife, Donna, was on the flight and sent him a text describing the incident as "the scariest moment in my life" and saying "some crazy guy just tried to get into the cockpit."
Curtis Tellam said in a phone interview Tuesday that he called his wife after the plane landed and said he could hear other passengers telling the man to calm down.
He said his wife told him she noticed the man acting strangely before the flight, constantly moving his bag from one overhead bin to the next. Tellam's wife told him that shortly after takeoff, the man ran forward in the cabin, through the first-class cabin where she was sitting and almost to the cockpit before three other passengers stopped and restrained him.
She told her husband the man shouted that there were other jihadists on the plane and that he would give the people who were holding him a lot of money if they would let him go.
"She's tough. She flies a lot ... but she's really shaken up," Curtis Tellam said of his wife, who said the man was basically lying at her feet the entire time he was restrained.

As Part of Mayor Emanuel's Your New Blue Modernization Program, CTA Awards Contract for Major Upgrades at Jefferson Park and Belmont Blue Line Terminals
Project work to improve safety, security and comfort for bus and rail riders, and visually enhance streetscape for surrounding communities
The Chicago Transit Board today approved the award of a design/build contract for the rehabilitation and upgrade of two major Blue Line transit terminals, the Jefferson Park and Belmont stations, as part of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's historic Your New Blue project to improve and upgrade the O'Hare branch of the Blue Line. Improvements made as part of this project work will benefit the thousands of people who use these terminals daily.
Providing valuable transit connections for the northwest side of Chicago, the Jefferson Park and Belmont stations are the fourth and seventh-busiest stations along the O'Hare branch, respectively. Modernization of these facilities are part of a number of improvements for the Blue Line that are planned as part of the multi-phase Your New Blue program, and will provide bus and rail riders with a safer, brighter, cleaner and easier-to-navigate travel environment.
Walsh Construction Company II, LLC was awarded the $30.8 million contract following a competitive procurement process. Improvements for both locations includes new signage, interior and exterior painting, new LED lighting, electrical work, and replacement of the bus terminal concrete and rail station platform surfaces.
"It's our belief here at CTA that an investment in transit is an investment in the surrounding community," said CTA President Dorval R. Carter, Jr. "The improvements we make under this project work will not only benefit our riders, but will also further enhance and add to the aesthetics of the communities they serve."
Belmont Blue
Announced last fall by Mayor Emanuel and CTA, upgrades to the Belmont Blue Line terminal will include the infusion of a new and unique architectural canopy for the terminal designed by the Chicago architecture firm Carol Ross Barney, which will serve as a community gateway while visually enhancing the street-level entrance to the subway station.
The $17 million project will also include improvements to the bus arrival/departure areas such as new LED lighting, repaved surfaces and new signage to speed bus boarding and provide a safer, more comfortable environment for pedestrians.
The $25 million rehabilitation of Jefferson Park will be the largest renovation project since the terminal was reconstructed in 2001 to make it wheelchair accessible. Customers can look forward to newly redesigned canopies for the bus terminal and rail station entryway, and improved reconfiguration of the bus bays to accommodate those with disabilities. Other rail station improvements include rehabbing platform canopies, repair and repainting exterior station walls, plus new benches, windbreaks and trash bins along the platform.
Project work for both stations is expected to begin early next year, with work completing at Belmont in late 2018, followed by the completion of work at Jefferson Park in 2019. More detailed information will be announced at a future date. As with all major projects, CTA will work closely with local elected officials and community members to minimize impacts to customers and provide regular project updates and service impacts.
Your New Blue was announced by Mayor Emanuel in 2013, and is the most ambitious service improvement project on the Blue Line since it was extended to O'Hare Airport in 1984. Improvements made under the Your New Blue program will benefit the more than 80,000 daily riders who enter stations along the branch, which had more than 27 million rides last year.
Among the modernization work completed so far are subway and elevated track renewal and infrastructure repairs, as well as the upgrade of eight of 14 Blue Line stations, which included the installation of an elevator at the Addison station to make that station fully accessible to customers with disabilities. Funding for Your New Blue work is a combination of local, state and federal sources. More info can be found at http://www.transitchicago.com/yournewblue/.
