Q: No Database Selected - Error I work with the following example-code:
<?php

// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect('mysql3.00*****', 'a7552070******', 'fjewifn****');
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

$sql = "INSERT INTO diequizapp(appid, itemid, data) VALUES ('John', 'bon', 'jovi')";

if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($conn);
}

mysqli_close($conn);
?>

but I get an No Database selected back.
Can somebody please tell my why ?
I took this example from a tutorial.
Auf Wiedersehen, Andre

A: You need to pass the database that you want to select data from as the last parameter in mysqli_connect(host, username, password, database)
You can also take the second approach and use the mysqli_select_db($connection, DATABASE) function

A: you did not given the database name try like this
$dbname = "****";      //database name
$dbhost = "localhost"; // host name localhost
$dbusername = "***";  // username of the mysql
$dbpassword = "***";  // password of the mysql

$link = mysqli_connect($dbhost,$dbusername,$dbpassword,$dbname);
if (mysqli_connect_errno($link))
 {
  echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
 }

then run your query........

Albert Einstein on God, Religion & World Peace
written by Patrick Zeis February 20, 2017
It was on December 10th, 1922, when the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences ironically awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics to an eccentric German scientist named Albert Einstein. The Academy decided to exercise the rite to withhold the 1921 prize until the following year, believing that no individual met the criteria for the award, and although Einstein was unable to attend the award ceremony, a grand celebration was held in his honor. Svante August Arrhenius, the 1903 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, was tasked with delivering the presentation speech that night and opened by saying:
There is probably no physicist living today whose name has become so widely known as that of Albert Einstein."
Amazing enough, still today there is not a single scientist whose name is as easily recognized as that of Albert Einstein. Throughout his career, Einstein conceptualized some of the most important scientific theories to ever to be developed. While he is best-known for the general theory of relativity and mass-energy equivalence formula, Einstein actually won the Nobel Prize for discovering the law of the photoelectric effect. Regardless, it is certainly due to his entire body of work that Einstein's name is now recognized as being synonymous with words such as genius.
Although Albert Einstein is best known for his contributions to the scientific field, he displayed intellectual brilliance when talking about subjects far beyond the lens of a microscope. In fact, Einstein had deeply thought about and discussed three topics that are important here: God, religion, & world peace. As you will soon discover, Albert Einstein's genius wasn't limited to merely scientific theories, and his unrivaled ability to intuitively understand the world at large can be illuminated by examining his ideas about our world's most transcendental themes.
Albert Einstein on God:
While it may be easy to assume that, because of his scientific background, Albert Einstein lived with stringent atheistic believes, his writing clearly indicated that this wasn't the case. Although Einstein did think the idea of a personal God answering one's prayers as childish and fear-based, his exploration into science led him to conceive of an underlying force beyond the world's unfathomable harmony. In the book The Expanded Quotable Einstein, he tell us:
In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views."
Throughout his life, Einstein fiercely rejected the notion that he was an atheist and leaned towards a pantheistic way-of-thinking, one built on the belief that reality itself is in fact divinity. Once when responding to a cablegram from the prominent American rabbi Herbert Goldstein, who adamantly asked Einstein if he believed in a God, the peculiar physicist responded saying:
I believe in Spinoza's God [pantheism] who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings."
Einstein's believes about God may best be described as agnostic, primarily because he understood that his capabilities to theorize about the indescribable, like an all-pervading God, were greatly limited. In the previously mentioned Expanded Quotable Einstein, the celebrated scientist is quoted as saying:
I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?"
Albert Einstein on Religion:
Einstein with the celebrated Hindu poet Rabindranath Tagore.
Although Albert Einstein was born and raised in a Jewish family, he did not readily associate himself with the Jewish religion. While Einstein did consider himself to be religious, it wasn't in the way that we typically think about those who are pious. He came to recognize his humble admiration for the universe's harmony as a type of religion that was most fitting for his scientific background. If there were a number of religions that Einstein's views did most closely related to, they would have to be Buddhism and Hinduism. In fact, Einstein expressed deep admiration for the Buddha and came to believe that Buddhism was the one religion that logically made the most sense. He is quoted as saying:
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism."
Even though Albert Einstein never acknowledged having an interest in Hinduism, or claimed to agree with Hindu beliefs, many of his ideas about spirituality took on a form that resembles Hindu theology. In particular, Einstein's thinking coincides with the important Hindu concepts of Maya (illusion) and Moksha (liberation). He previously told us:
A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive."
Einstein additionally came to believe that true freedom and happiness could only be found by separating one's conscious self from worldly attachments and egotism, an idea that is prevalent in both Buddhism and Hinduism. Modest Buddhist monks and mystical Hindu sages would agree with Einstein's assessment that one can experience transcendental states by living in a state of pure being. In a letter that Einstein once wrote to Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, he says:
Still there are moments when one feels free from one's own identification with human limitations and inadequacies. At such moments, one imagines that one stands on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at the cold yet profoundly moving beauty of the eternal, the unfathomable: life and death flow into one, and there is neither evolution nor destiny; only being."
Albert Einstein on World Peace:
In October of 1933, on the brink of WWII, Albert Einstein moved to the United States after Adolf Hitler's regime began enforcing laws that were enacted to force German-Jews out of the country. Although Einstein had never felt the affects of racism in such a degrading way before, he had already used much of his life to fight for human rights and proclaimed peaceful activism to be the only way. Because Einstein had come to believe the idea of a personal God as a childish one, he thought ethical behavior was a purely human affair and went to great lengths to promote global unity as being the most intelligent path to follow. In hopes of having others discover the benefits of peace and equality, Einstein regularly discussed the importance of striving for the type of knowledge that promotes an understanding of the connection between us all. While speaking before the New History Society in 1930, Einstein proclaimed:
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. You cannot subjugate a nation forcibly unless you wipe out every man, woman, and child. Unless you wish to use such drastic measures, you must find a way of settling your disputes without resort to arms."
One non-violent human rights activist that Albert Einstein showed great admiration towards was Mahatma Gandhi, the man who led India to peaceful independence from the British Raj in 1947. After Gandhi was assassinated in 1948, Einstein wrote in tribute to him, saying:
He has demonstrated that a powerful human following can be assembled no only through the cunning game of the usual political maneuvers and trickeries but through the cogent example of morally superior conduct of life. The admiration for Mahatma Gandhi in all countries of the world rests on recognition, mostly sub-conscious, recognition of the fact that in our time of utter moral decadence, he was the only statesman to stand for a higher level of human relationship in political sphere. This level we must, with all our forces, attempt to reach."
Throughout the course of his lifetime, Albert Einstein made it a point to speak out on human injustices, racism, and violence, while simultaneously promoting equal rights for the less fortunate. In particular, Einstein used his scientific celebrity to promote the rights of Zionist-Jews and African-American. While giving a speech in 1947 at Lincoln University in Pensalvanyia, the first university to grant college degrees to African-Americans, Einstein told the crowd:
There is a separation of colored people from white people in the United States… That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people…. I do not intend to be quiet about it."
To promote peaceful harmony throughout the world, Einstein challenged people to live above their basic instinctual drives for power, to peacefully stand up for the rights of others, and to act with the outmost ethical morality. Einstein told us in 1937:
Knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth."
If we were to illuminate just one of Albert Einstein's many honorable qualities, it wouldn't be his intellect or scientific savvy, but rather his willingness to rely on his intuition while seeking truth. In today's world, where scientific thinkers are continuously pushing atheistic views, remembering the wisdom of Albert Einstein can serve us all well. While Einstein will forever be remembered for his scientific acumen, it is his views on topics such as God, religion, and world peace that made him a truly brilliant man. With that being said, we'll leave you with one of Einstein's most prominent pieces of advice:
The important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing."

Trusted Times uses a browser extension to identify fake and unreliable news and presents additional analysis through machine learning of any news article to show a reporter's and news source's bias, if any. Trusted Times screens thousands of news websites in the United States.
What distinguishes Trusted Times from other news filtering resources is its ability to treat each journalist and news article independently – as opposed to classifying an entire newspaper's political bias as "left, center or right". Trusted Times recognizes any news organization such as New York Times or Politico consists of hundreds of reporters each with a unique perspective, built-in schema/bias, ideas or writing style.
Trusted Times leverages advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze each article's language reflecting an author's opinion or attitude towards any given subject. This way a journalist with a unique persuasion or possible agenda for whatever reason is exposed as biased towards a subject or a person even if they work at a news organization consistently known for its own political slant, i.e., left, right or neutral.
In addition to being valuable to anyone whose job is to be abreast of the news, Trusted Times is perfect for everyone seeking a reliable resource to gauge credible news sources, i.e., teachers seeking an educational tool distinguishing the verifiable and reliable source of news based on fact.
During our past presidential election when I read about Macedonian teenagers operating a "fake news factory" to affect the elections in United States, I was bothered. When I read about what it feels like to subscribe to fake news, I was very disturbed. I saw what happened when Facebook disastrously attempted to curate news. I have also seen what happens in Reddit's news threads during the height of election season. I didn't like what was happening in the news industry. I don't want a future where news is dictated by agenda, rather than facts.
Real and factual news matter because they inform people about current events. Factual news helps us make informed decisions that affect us — our families, our future, the economy, our culture — and the kind of world we live in. If a guy like me, with a degree in Computer Science is struggling to find factual and unbiased news of current events, it must be especially hard for someone who trusts the news, i.e., my friend's 75-year-old grandma in Ohio interested in keeping up with immigration policies or my neighbor's nephew in Michigan actively trying to learn about our political parties and their principles as a high school student. Good information should be easy to find. Bad information should be flagged. Journalists or news sources intent on practicing either should be distinguished. That determination of "good" and "bad" information should be done impartially based on facts, patterns and not political bias or personal agendas. Since developing technologies to help people has always been my mission, it seemed this was a timely problem I wanted to solve.
While on my Christmas holiday, I started experimenting with a few news articles that seemed at first blush to be biased to me. I wasn't positive of their bias – it was just a hunch. As I did more tests – words, phrasing, set up, tone, etc., – I realized I was on to something. If a source is indeed biased, then a pattern appears. I wanted to expose that pattern. As a computer scientist, I knew I could do this through machine learning — a type of artificial intelligence providing computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed to do so. The more I refined this new resource, I felt it critical to implement it and make it available for general use. A little over a month later, I released Trusted Times.
Trusted Times is free for use. There are expenses involved with website/domain and app server hosting, but I consider that just part of my contribution to society. Trusted Times is an informational accessory for adults and an excellent education tool for young kids who want to learn how to read news effectively and analytically.
I made Trusted Times for that 75-year-old grandma from Ohio who can now get a more transparent analysis of any news article she reads. I made Trusted Times for the teachers like the ones in Seattle who are teaching their students how to read news and process information accurately. If Trusted Times can help anyone, then all my hard work will be worth it.

Publiczne Gimnazjum nr 1 im. Franciszka Becinskiego from Radziejow/Poland is a generaly secondary school with 250 students aged between 6 and 16 years old, The school is located in a small, rural town of 5000 inhabitants, which does not offer economic perspectives to the youngsters.
Many young people after graduating leave the town to study and work in bigger cities. They do not see many perspectives for them here. That situation causes problems among students at school as they cannot see any future for them in our town. They have no big motivation to study foreign languages and they do not have many opportunities to get to know people from other cities, not to mention from other countries. High rate of unemployment is a main factor that causes poverty, which is seen among some of our students, unwillingness to learn and no motivation to search for solutions. On the other hand plenty of students want to get to know about other countries, their cultures and languages. All these factors cause that among our students there are ones with disabilities, special needs students and those who have committed minor crimes, and offences. The teachers, in our school, try to find as motivating ways to teach them as possible, but possibilities are limited. Our school, taking part in this project hopes that it will be a good start to encourage teachers to find out more about new methods of teaching through the Internet, computers and other ways of communicating. The students and teachers of Publiczne Gimnazjum nr 1 im. Frańciszka Becińskiego want to take part in this project because of many reasons. First, the teachers may find new ways of teaching languages or any other subjects. They want to exchange their ideas with others in order to show their students the ways how to work and live in Europe throughout self-education, motivations and new tools in which students and teachers will be equipped. Secondly, the teachers hope to enrich their methodology and the way of running school as well as equip school with tools that will help them to be more prepared to meet the needs and expectation of a modern school. The teachers believe that their students will be more motivated to learn how to learn and live in modern Europe. The school consists of 290 students and 23 teachers. At school students attend to 12 classes and they graduate school after 3 years of studying. School curriculum comprises of multiple subjects such as mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, English, geography, IT, PE, history, music and Polish. Our school offers a wide range of after class activities which develop students� hobbies or help them to deal with difficulties they come across during their stay here. Our participation in the project is a good chance to improve students� language and computer skills. All the teachers are willing to join the idea of electronic platform .
Escola EB 2,3 de Vialonga/Portugal
Vialonga is a suburban town of 20 000 inhabitants, situated about 20 Kms from Lisbon. The new buildings, inhabited by middle class young couples, contrast not only with some old houses but also with social housing of the surrounding neighborhood (about 30 years old), where the population is means deprived, most of them immigrants from the former Portuguese colonies in Africa.
The real needs of these families and the necessity for a full and balanced integration of the young people into the local community, led by the Ministry of Education to establish that our school formed a Territ�rio Educativo de Interven��o Priorit�ria, in 1996, which means a group of schools with special needsdue to social, economic and cultural problems of the local resident population.
Our school is part of one of these groups of schools and it is now called Agrupamento de Escolas de Vialonga (Group of Schools of Vialonga). It consists of three nursery schools (3-5 year-old children), seven primary schools (6-10 year-old students) and a secondary school (young people from 11 to 15 years old), where students are expected to complete compulsory education.
There is a risk of leaving school as early as 5th grade and this is mostly related to non-academic achievement and the coming of adolescence. In many cases these teenagers� families are poor. Many do not have a family or their support.
After identifying a need to fight the huge numbers of non-academic achievement, our school has decided to adapt a different approach to this reality. So, we have been working with three different teaching and learning strategies � Alternative Curriculum Courses, Professional Courses and Functional Curriculum � and we have been trying to adapt them to our students� characteristics.
Scuola Secondaria 1 grado �Luigi Pietrobono� from Frosinone/Italy has 500 pupils with ages between 6 and 16. The school offers courses of music, having an orchestra, as well as courses of foreign languages (English and French). There is no special experience in the European projects, this being only the second project in which the school participates, but the institution desires to apply a coherent program of using computers in teaching foreign languages, considering that, in this way, the theoretical knowledge and skills are combined in favour of pupils and teachers, forming real European citizens, polyglots and with increased skills in using computers. . Learners may have gone through previous educational failure in their past years and are not particularly keen on theoretical studies. Among them some disabled or special needs students. In recent years we have enrolled more and more extra communitarian students. For this specific reason the topics of integration and the defeat of xenophobia are considered essential into a general process towards democracy. The school considers comparing and exchanging excellent educational practice may contribute to the enlargement of the cultural horizons, to the enhancement of the Institution, to a general growth of its potential and to improve the target results.
P�ngăraţi-Oanţu Structure with I-VIII Grades (Primary School � Middle School) is situated in an isolated, economic disadvantaged region of Neamţ department in Romania. The school is situated in a village having a population of 5300 people and a built area of 1228,28 ha and an agricultural area of 10961.46 ha (including forests, Bistrita river and mounts). Oantu�s population is about 1.200 persons. 80% of the population is involved in the agriculture, the rest are employee in divers branches of industry (wood especially) or was migrating in different EU developed countries like Italy or Spain. The school has 160 pupils distributed in 12 classes (one for the kindergarten, three for the primary school and eight for each middle school level). The age of the pupils is between 3 and 15 years old. They are studying two foreign languages � French and English, starting from the kindergarten. The second foreign language is introduced in the 5th form. The school will soon receive an informatics line of 12 computers. The school has 18 teachers and 17 of them are providing a shuttle service because they are living at more than 15 km distance of the school. 70% of the children are from disadvantaged families � families in economic difficulty, monoparental families or families in which one ore two parents are gone in foreign countries and the relatives are ensuring the education of the children.
The new politic of the school is oriented to the aperture towards European activities. The involvement in the institutional projects started three years ago, when school has developed a project under the guidance of the POR department from the Departmental Scholar Inspectorate of Neamţ. It was a complex project having different final projects like a village museum made at school and a complete show about the wedding traditions in Oanţu. Other project initiated in the school, with a regional scope was different exhibitions and contests with the participation of the Departmental Center for Teachers Neamţ (CCD).
The school need to ensure a better foreign languages competences for its pupils and teachers also that a good usage of the computers. It is the first time when the institution takes the decision to involve in an European partnership, in the LLL programme. The main reasons beside the reinforcement of the acquisitions in foreign languages are the building of a new image of the institution, the possibility to offer a new kind of education to children and a new perspective of their apprenticing, new experiences with gain of quality for the teachers � a new beginning for all the institution.

Stewart at ease heading into final season of storied career

Stewart Haas co-owner and driver Tony Stewart talks to members of the media during the NASCAR Charlotte Motor Speedway Media Tour in Charlotte, N.C., Thursday.
Terry Renna — The Associated Press file
In this file photo, Tony Stewart celebrates after winning his third NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship, at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla. The three-time NASCAR champion reiterated Thursday he'll race in other series after this year _ but not the Indianapolis 500, he insisted _ and his decision to leave the Sprint Cup Series is simply about giving himself more free time to pursue everything that's been on hold the last three decades.
PUBLISHED: January 21, 2016 at 4:33 p.m. | UPDATED: September 24, 2021 at 1:25 a.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. >> Tony Stewart is a man at peace as he heads into the final season of his NASCAR career.
He is satisfied with what he has accomplished and has no regrets about the three glaring holes on his resume. Stewart is also adamant that his struggles the last two years, on and off the track, have nothing to do with his decision to retire at the end of this season.
The three-time NASCAR champion reiterated Thursday he will race in other series after this year – but not the Indianapolis 500, he insisted – and his decision to leave the Sprint Cup Series is simply about giving himself more free time to pursue everything that has been on hold the last three decades.
"I'm still going to race, I just don't know how much yet," Stewart said. "The nice thing is I'll have some flexibility to go do some other things I want to do."
First up on the bucket list: He wants to attend the Formula One race in Monaco with co-owner Gene Haas, who will field an F1 team beginning this season.
But that will have to wait until 2017 because Stewart has a final farewell tour ahead of him for the next 11 months. He doesn't want the same sendoff given to Jeff Gordon, who was feted and presented with gifts at nearly every stop on the 36-race schedule last year.
Stewart wouldn't mind, though, having the kind of year Gordon did on the track. Gordon closed his final season by dramatically winning at Martinsville Speedway in November to clinch a berth in the final four of NASCAR's championship race.
Although Gordon didn't win the title, he was in the running and climbed from his car for the final time at the top of his game.
"That was 99 percent of a perfect season and I don't have any grand illusions that I'm going to have that kind of year this year," Stewart said. "I would love to, but what we've done the last two years, it may or may not be in our cards. We're going to give 100 percent."
Stewart has been a shell of himself the last two years. He was struggling through the 2013 season when he broke his leg in a sprint car accident and missed the final third of the NASCAR season.
His return in 2014 was a struggle, too. Aside from his failure to perform on the track, his car struck and killed a sprint car driver at a New York dirt track. Stewart wasn't criminally charged, but the emotional toll weighed on him for months and he is still facing a lawsuit from Kevin Ward Jr.'s family.
Although 2015 was fairly drama-free, Stewart had career lows in nearly every category. He has not won a race since 2013 and he split with crew chief Chad Johnston at the end of last season.
Stewart will be paired this year with first-year crew chief Michael Bugarewicz, who was race engineer the last two seasons on Kevin Harvick's team. Stewart is not sure how long it will take the duo to click, but he is eager to find out.
"It's two people trying to learn each other's language," Stewart said. "I really like what I see in him so far, I like his drive and determination, and those are things that you can't teach somebody."
Stewart's mood was good as he noted it was the final time on the preseason media tour. He declined to answer questions about an incident last weekend at the Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he climbed into the stands to confront a heckler. Stewart encouraged anyone curious about the confrontation to scan social media for witness accounts of what led to the incident.
Other than that, no topic was off limits. He talked about his desire to win the Daytona 500, the Southern 500 and at Kentucky Speedway – the only things missing from his resume – and acknowledged his performance has been subpar. He repeated several times that he's too old – he turns 45 in May – to run the Indianapolis 500, but that he's open to a lot of different opportunities beginning in November when his NASCAR career comes to a close.
"The reason I am retiring is not performance based, but when you go into your last season, you hope you go out on top," he said. "If we went out there and ran 15 races and won the championship, it would not be, 'Man, I want to come back next year.'
"We're done. When Homestead happens, no matter how the year went, we're done. If it's a terrible year, I am not going to sit there and think that defined my career. The stats will show what we did over 18 years. No matter how the season goes, I think I'm going to be able to say I had a successful run in the Sprint Cup Series."


World Sports Forum meet urges outdoor retailers to rethink customer's "point of engagement"
Concluding last week, the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry organised World Sports Forum talked at length about the future of retail in the sporting segment, drawing some interesting conclusions on the role of the bricks and mortar retailer.
Recent years have seen retailers suffer from reduced footfall and Terra's research suggests that there could be an over-capacity of retail space reaching up to 20% in some developed markets, due to the growing market share of online retailing. An estimated 40% of consumers prefer to buy their sports and outdoor equipment online.
However, Terra argued that experience is often the most compelling way for retailers to draw consumers away from their keyboards and into the stores. Leading sporting goods brands have opened spectacular facilities from New York to London and Shanghai.
"They are turning retail facilities into a third layer of marketing," explained Terra.
CyclingIndustry.News will go into depth on the topic of in store experience within our Q2 Trade Journal, which UK businesses can sign up for free of charge here.
In such points of engagement, retail staff are no longer just selling products but they may also act as trainers, guides or artists.
"Staff recruitment and training should focus on the right skills, to make sure that employees are really eager to assist or even entertain customers," said Terra.
Terra's comments echo many of the thoughts delivered in Jay Townley's latest CyclingIndustry.News piece, within which he discusses motivating staff, making purchasing simple for the consumer and plenty more. Read that here.


Film, food, coffee, and kites are on the menu in Miami this week. First, head to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens to celebrate the historic home's centennial with a telenovela set on-site. Next, take a tour of local coffee roaster Macondo, and enjoy samples of the brand's Colombian brews. Or hit the South Beach Seafood Festival for delicious bites from the ocean. Then get outside the next day at Kitetoberfest.
It's not every day a historical site becomes the backdrop for a telenovela. In celebration of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens' centennial, Lost Spaces artist Magnus Sigurdarson created and filmed a narrative in the dramatic style of traditional Latin American telenovelas set inside the historic home. Watch a screening of the program, called Corazón Vizcaya, in Vizcaya's courtyard, and stick around for a question-and-answer session afterward with the entire cast, crew, and Vizcaya's curator, Gina Wouters.
Made in Dade highlights local makers in Miami. This month, they're turning the spotlight on Macondo Coffee Roasters. The Doral-based coffee supplier roasts and grinds its Colombian beans on-site. At this event, you'll gain some insight into your daily caffeine fix with information about how coffee is grown, harvested, roasted, and poured. Hosted by Yelp, the event will pair Macondo's coffee with Colombian treats such as empanadas, arepas, and tequeños for a fully immersive experience.
Joe's Stone Crab might be the epicenter of the South Beach seafood scene, but for one day Joe's will be eclipsed by the South Beach Seafood Festival in Lummus Park. The fest will showcase seafood restaurants from all over the area, including Joe's, Naked Taco, Red, Toro Toro, and Drunken Dragon. Expect hearty portions and a full stomach, and enjoy cold beers from the open bar that is included with your ticket. Ride out your food coma by lounging on the beach.
Miami Beach's Hauler Park, a popular spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, will see hundreds of kites lift into the sky at the 24th annual Kitetoberfest. Kite-flying veterans will float standout kites including a 30-foot Nemo-like fish and a 300-square-foot parafoil. There will also be paper kite-making classes and kite-flying competitions geared toward both kids and adults.
Visa-O1's pizza is already a cult favorite among those in the know on Miami Beach, but now you don't have to cross the bridge to get delicious, unusually shaped, and extra-cheesy pizza. Named after the travel visa given to individuals who have gained national and international fame in science, art, film, and other disciplines, Visa-O1 has finally opened its Brickell location. Expect the same menu of classic pizzeria favorites plus some specialty pies, as well as a mozzarella bar, salad menu, and the option to swap any of your cheeses for a vegan version.


1:1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope; 1:2to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
1:3As I exhorted you to stay at Ephesus when I was going into Macedonia, that you might charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine, 1:4neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith--1:5but the end of the charge is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith; 1:6from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking; 1:7desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm. 1:8But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully, 1:9as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine; 1:11according to the Gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 1:12And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service; 1:13although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 1:14The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1:15The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1:16However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. 1:17Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
1:18This charge I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare; 1:19holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith; 1:20of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
2:1I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: 2:2for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence. 2:3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; 2:4who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth. 2:5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 2:6who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times; 2:7to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
2:8I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting. 2:9In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing; 2:10but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works. 2:11Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection. 2:12But I don't permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness. 2:13For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 2:14Adam wasn't deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience; 2:15but she will be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
3:1This is a faithful saying: if a man seeks the office of an overseer, he desires a good work. 3:2The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching; 3:3not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 3:4one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence; 3:5(but if a man doesn't know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?) 3:6not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. 3:7Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.
3:8Deacons, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money; 3:9holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 3:10Let them also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, if they are blameless. 3:11Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 3:12Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 3:13For those who have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
And received up in glory.
4:1But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, 4:2through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron; 4:3forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4:4For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving. 4:5For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer. 4:6If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed. 4:7But refuse profane and old wives' fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness. 4:8For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value for all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come. 4:9This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance. 4:10For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. 4:11Command and teach these things.
4:12Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity. 4:13Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching. 4:14Don't neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders. 4:15Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all. 4:16Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
5:1Don't rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers; 5:2the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity. 5:3Honor widows who are widows indeed. 5:4But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is* acceptable in the sight of God. 5:5Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day. 5:6But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives. 5:7Also command these things, that they may be without reproach. 5:8But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. 5:9Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man, 5:10being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.
5:11But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry; 5:12having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge. 5:13Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. 5:14I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling. 5:15For already some have turned aside after Satan. 5:16If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don't let the assembly be burdened; that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.
5:17Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching. 5:18For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
5:19Don't receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses. 5:20Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear. 5:21I charge you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. 5:22Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men's sins. Keep yourself pure. 5:23Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
5:24Some men's sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later. 5:25In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can't be hidden.
6:1Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed. 6:2Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
6:3If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn't consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, 6:4he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 6:5constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.
6:6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 6:7For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can't carry anything out. 6:8But having food and clothing, we will be content with that. 6:9But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. 6:10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
6:11But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. 6:12Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. 6:13I charge you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession, 6:14that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ; 6:15which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 6:16who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
6:17Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; 6:18that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 6:19laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.
6:20Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called; 6:21which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
 back to 3:8 The word for "deacons" literally means "servants."
 back to 5:4 TR adds "good and"

A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land. The EU Floods directive defines a flood as a temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water.
Floodwaters of the Danube River often menace towns, villages and take human lives. Torrential rain can force thousands of people to flee their homes, while vast areas of farm and industrial land can be damaged. The frequency and intensity of flood events in the Danube River is expected to continue.
Various studies have shown that restoring former floodplain areas, especially along the lower stretches of the Danube River, can yield multiple benefits not only in terms of enhanced flood protection, by soaking up floodwaters, but also for local livelihoods and nature.
Floodplains are natural retention areas that act like sponges. They are broad flat areas of low-lying land near rivers, lakes and coasts that act as a natural storage reservoir, allowing large volumes of water to be stored and slowly and safely released down rivers and into the groundwater.
A 2010 WWF study estimated the potential for floodplain restoration at about 800,000 ha along the Danube, about 500,000 ha of which along the Lower Danube. The study also showed that restoring floodplains would cost much less than the damages caused by floods, and, in addition, would provide important benefits to nature, people, and local economies.
Human intervention in the Danube area has degraded and more than halved floodplains that can retain water and minimise flood impacts.
In 2000, the governments of Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine pledged to work together to establish a green corridor along the entire length of the Lower Danube River. The Lower Danube Green Corridor Declaration, recognized the need and responsibility of the four governments to protect and manage in a sustainable way one of the most outstanding biodiversity regions in the world. The Lower Danube Green Corridor was created along the river's final 1,000 km, covering an area of 11,574 km².
In 2010, ten years after the agreement was signed, the Lower Danube Green Corridor target for protection has been exceeded, with 1.4 million ha of wetland areas along the Lower Danube under some form of formal protection. Progress with restoration is further behind, but moving forward, with well over 60,000 ha realised to date.

Abrahamic religious sex abuse
How many of you have heard about alleged satanic sex abuse?
I bet everyone reading this has heard about or seen on tv some fundamental christian Muslim or Jew claiming that there is some huge underground Satanic ritual abuse child sex trade going on.
And while it is true that there is a big organized child sex abuse ring operating worldwide it is not in anyway affiliated with any Satanic organization.
The People involved in this organized sex abuse come from the Abrahamic religions mainly Christianity,Judaism and Islam.
Let us start this article by exposing Pedophilia In Judaism
Sex at Three Years and One Day
In contrast to Simeon ben Yohai's dictum that sex with a little girl is permitted under the age of three years, the general teaching of the Talmud is that the rabbi must wait until a day after her third birthday. She could be taken in marriage simply by the act of rape.
R. Joseph said: Come and hear! A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition and if her deceased husband's brother cohabits with her, she becomes his. (Sanh. 55b)
A girl who is three years of age and one day may be betrothed by cohabitation. . . .(Yeb. 57b)
A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband's brother cohabited with her she becomes his. (Sanh. 69a, 69b, also discussed in Yeb. 60b)
It was taught: R. Simeon b. Yohai stated: A proselyte who is under the age of three years and one day is permitted to marry a priest, for it is said, But all the women children that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves, and Phineas (who was priest, the footnote says) surely was with them. (Yeb. 60b)
[The Talmud says such three year and a day old girls are] . . . fit for cohabitation. . . But all women children, that have not known man by lying with him, it must be concluded that Scripture speaks of one who is fit for cohabitation. (Footnote to Yeb. 60b)
The example of Phineas, a priest, himself marrying an underage virgin of three years is considered by the Talmud as proof that such infants are "fit for cohabitation."
The Talmud teaches that an adult woman's molestation of a nine year old boy is "not a sexual act" and cannot "throw guilt" upon her because the little boy is not truly a "man." 9 But they use opposite logic to sanction rape of little girls aged three years and one day: Such infants they count as "women," sexually mature and fully responsible to comply with the requirements of marriage.
The Talmud footnotes 3 and 4 to Sanhedrin 55a clearly tell us when the rabbis considered a boy and girl sexually mature and thus ready for marriage. "At nine years a male attains sexual matureness… The sexual matureness of woman is reached at the age of three."
this is a small piece of a ny times Article titled
Ultra-Orthodox Shun Their Own for Reporting Child Sexual Abuse
which can be read here https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/10/nyregion/ultra-orthodox-jews-shun-their-own-for-reporting-child-sexual-abuse.html
"The first shock came when Mordechai Jungreis learned that his mentally disabled teenage son was being molested in a Jewish ritual bathhouse in Brooklyn. The second came after Mr. Jungreis complained, and the man accused of the abuse was arrested.
Old friends started walking stonily past him and his family on the streets of Williamsburg. Their landlord kicked them out of their apartment. Anonymous messages filled their answering machine, cursing Mr. Jungreis for turning in a fellow Jew. And, he said, the mother of a child in a wheelchair confronted Mr. Jungreis's mother-in-law, saying the same man had molested her son, and she "did not report this crime, so why did your son-in-law have to?"
By cooperating with the police, and speaking out about his son's abuse, Mr. Jungreis, 38, found himself at the painful forefront of an issue roiling his insular Hasidic community. There have been glimmers of change as a small number of ultra-Orthodox Jews, taking on longstanding religious and cultural norms, have begun to report child sexual abuse accusations against members of their own communities. But those who come forward often encounter intense intimidation from their neighbors and from rabbinical authorities, aimed at pressuring them to drop their cases.""
You read that right a child was being sexually abused in a ritualistic Jewish Bath house Not a Satanic church a Jewish ritual bath house.
There are many real stories out there describing ritualistic sex abuse committed by Jewish rabbis and even child murders in the name of the god Marduk/moloch by Zionist Jews but the details are so disturbing I can not sit here and write them with out being mentally scared.
Moving on we will now focus on the Christian religion and its child sex abuse history not all are committed by perverted Catholics but we will begin with the catholic church and the black mass.
As we know today the catholic church is responsible for the sexual rape abuse and murder of hundereds of thousands of kids world wide.
In the dark ages the catholic church invented an enemy to throw people off the track of their own dirty doings.
Today we call these types of things false flags.
One of the biggest false flags was the Catholic churches fictional creation of witches and "devil worshipers" today called Satanists.
Like the Jewish people The Catholics worship the god of Abraham and it is this god Marduk who has had children sacrificed in his name since ancient times.
The catholics in those days where more blood thirsty than today all one needs for proof is to read about the crusades.
Priests would kid nap and kill kids at first these horrible crimes where blamed on mythological creatures like wolf men and vampires but people began disbelieving these stories as the church was not able to produce any for trial.
So the church created "devil worshipers"
the propaganda worked for hundreds of years and it still is played out today among christian conspiracy theorists.
The big bad boogyman Satanist is said to lurk behind every tree at the end of a street waiting for a kid to kill so you must baptize your baby today and give the church money to save their souls.
Not only did the church make money off the propaganda they gained the trust of parents to protect their kids against the evil Satanists.
While parents leave their kids at the church with the priests for protection and moral guidance the kids are raped and abused this is all now well documented.
The Vatican knew about this the whole time but did nothing to stop the abuse they kept trying to push the false flag of satanists even going so far to say there are bad satanists in the Vatican yet none of these pervert priests have been affiliated with any actual satanic organization at all.
The evil is and has always been in the Vatican Marduk worshipers are the enemy of children and civilization.
You may say well Catholics are just pagan heretics well protestants do it too.
In a newyork times article titled Three Pastors Charged With Sex Trafficking of Children in Ohio
it describes a case of child sex abuse and trafficking
Three pastors accused of exploiting and abusing teenage girls were indicted this week on federal child sex trafficking charges in Toledo, Ohio.
The men, Kenneth Butler, 37; Anthony J. Haynes, 38; and Cordell Jenkins, 47, were charged with conspiracy for child sex trafficking as part of an 11-count indictment handed down on Tuesday, the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio said. The three men pleaded not guilty.
They are accused of sexually assaulting a girl beginning in 2014, when she was 14, through 2017. Some of the abuse is thought to have taken place at hotels and at Greater Life Christian Center in Toledo, where Mr. Haynes was a pastor and used his telephone to record the sexual assaults, prosecutors said.
There are many more stories of "pastors" doing these horrible things but I can not bring self to sit and read about all these horrible Christians doing such unnatural things to children. These are not Satanic priests they are christian pastors doing their lords work.
And finally lets talk a little about Islam a religion built upon a rapists insane visions.
At 53 years old muhammad married a 6 year old girl named Ayesha The well-established, but not altogether agreed upon, tradition of Lady Ayesha's age at the time of marrying Prophet Muhammad comes from a hadith in one of the most authentic collections – Sahih al-Bukhari in which Ayesha, herself, states: "The Messenger of God married me when I was six, and consummated the marriage with me when I was nine."
Muhammad a 56 year old man had sexual intercourse with a 9 year old girl this is the man who established the religion is Islam and that all Muslim men strive to emulate? Even today Muslims sell their daughters off to older men as sex slaves to be married because the religion of Islam promotes such ideology it is not a humane religion to be respected.
These are not satanists abusing their kids these are Muslims selling their daughters off to old creepy men How can you condone such disgusting inhumane behavior?
In conclusion I have given you just a few examples from each of the main religions of Abraham the father of the bastard religions of Marduk displaying sexual abuse.
There is no world wide elite Satanic organization trafficking kids for abuse and sacrifice these are the actions of the people you all trust.
When you go to your houses of worship and give money to these organizations you are enabling pedophiles and their defense and you are guilty of helping them rape kids! Consider all of this before you go to your places of worship maybe you should ask your self if you even should be going to these places any more? Or asking your self if solitary practice is a logical solution. They use your funds to stay in business cut them off boycott the religions of abraham.

The true meaning of Azazel
( Leviticus 16:8 Leviticus 16:10 Leviticus 16:26 , Revised Version only here; rendered "scape-goat" in the Authorized Version). This word has given rise to many different views. Some Jewish interpreters regard it as the name of a place some 12 miles east of Jerusalem, in the wilderness. Others take it to be the name of an evil spirit, or even of Satan. But when we remember that the two goats together form a type of Christ, on whom the Lord "laid the iniquity of us all," and examine into the root meaning of this word (viz., "separation"), the interpretation of those who regard the one goat as representing the atonement made, and the other, that "for Azazel," as representing the effect of the great work of atonement (viz., the complete removal of sin), is certainly to be preferred. The one goat which was "for Jehovah" was offered as a sin-offering, by which atonement was made. But the sins must also be visibly banished, and therefore they were symbolically laid by confession on the other goat, which was then "sent away for Azazel" into the wilderness. The form of this word indicates intensity, and therefore signifies the total separation of sin: it was wholly carried away. It was important that the result of the sacrifices offered by the high priest alone in the sanctuary should be embodied in a visible transaction, and hence the dismissal of the "scape-goat." It was of no consequence what became of it, as the whole import of the transaction lay in its being sent into the wilderness bearing away sin. As the goat "for Jehovah" was to witness to the demerit of sin and the need of the blood of atonement, so the goat "for Azazel" was to witness to the efficacy of the sacrifice and the result of the shedding of blood in the taking away of sin.
These dictionary topics are from
M.G. Easton M.A., D.D., Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Third Edition,
published by Thomas Nelson, 1897. Public Domain, copy freely.Jewish people often equated the word AZAZEL (Heb. עֲזָאזֵל), as a name of the place or the "power to which one of the goats in the Temple service of the *Day of Atonement was sent. There is a great deal of confusion regarding the exact meaning of the word. The name appears in Leviticus (16:8–10): "And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for Azazel. And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for the Lord, and offer him for a sin-offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before the Lord, to make atonement over him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness."
It was not until Muslim cults began having sex with goats that AZAZel began to have a demonic attribute.
Islamic people created the idea that AZAZEL was a demon and gave him the image of the modern day devil or the pagan fertility god pan.
he was then given attributes and included in Abrahamic demonology.
Azazel has became in modern times an equivalent of Satan through this fictional corruption which has mislead many people into the false practice of worshiping this fictional being.

FIN Stream's diversity of offerings to deliver at-home festival delights
This virtual iteration of the FIN: Atlantic International Film Festival has 114 films from all over the world
Sep 16, 2020 1:44 PM By: Jordan Parker
This virtual iteration of the FIN: Atlantic International Film Festival has 114 films for those who attend, from all over the world.
Perhaps now, more than ever, FIN Progamming Director Jason Beaudry says it's an easy time to be adventurous for first-time attendees.
"This is an exciting line-up, and it delves into what this festival is known for: It's about making hard choices as to what you'll see. No one will be able to see everything in eight days, so we each carve unique paths as participants," he said.
"What we're hoping is because so many films are watch-when-you-want, people will begin to talk. Social media will start to buzz, and maybe films will see an uptick based on how people are responding."
Now, with Virtual Hangouts and special guests for Q&As, the festival will once again be going above and beyond with their value-added approach.
It's been announced thespian Viggo Mortensen (director, lead actor in Falling), Bannon Braga (director of Books Of Blood) and a trio of directors from Atlantic Canada including Taylor Olson (Bone Cage), Ruth Lawrence (Little Orphans) and William D. MacGillivray (Under The Weather) will have Q&As, both live and pre-recorded.
"It just adds to the experience after watching a film, and being able to have scenes or parts expanded is incredible. To have that chance to see an intimate chat with the creators of films is amazing," he said.
Queen Of The Andes, The Forbidden Reel, Wharf Rats, Still The Water, and more will have Q&As as well.
Happy Hour Hangouts, presented by Spindrift Brewing, will allow fans to chat about films, and no ticket is required. Among them are Little Orphans, Books of Blood, Under The Weather, La Bonne Epouse, and the Reel East Coast Shorts.
Beaudry has trouble with picking just a few films for people to see, because it's all so subjective.
"Even with this slightly smaller amount of programming, people ask me what to see. I say, 'all of it.' If you look through our FINPedia, there's so much diversity in offerings, and if people want to be adventurous, it's a good year," Beaudry said.
"There's a discover aspect of FIN that allows for shock and surprise. Even if you have seen trailers and reviews, exploring these films is the best part."
There were a number of films in this year's programming the resonated with Beaudry on a personal level. As a father and family man now, he found himself entranced in Falling and Another Round.
"Like any viewer, no matter how hard I try to separate myself, I bring pieces of me into what I watch. I have two kids, and I have changing feelings of empathy. Falling is hard for anyone who had a tumultuous family life, or has seen the way dementia or Alzheimer's can touch a family," he said.
"And yet, I also saw something to relate to in Another Round (Druk). Looking at your late 40s and coming to terms with life's changes, and trying to recapture some vitality is huge."
He calls Another Round neither a celebration or condemnation of alcohol, and it stars Mads Mikkelson as a man – with three other high school teacher friends – who tests the theory life will be improve by having alcohol in the system constantly. Early reviews have been strong for the picture.
As the Toronto International Film Festival pushes on, some favourites have arisen which will also play at FIN. Aisling Chin-Yee stunned last festival with The Rest Of Us and returns with No Ordinary Man, a film about Billy Tipton. The New Corporation also had a steady score following its TIFF screening. Beaudry readily tips a few more films to get excited about.
"Our late addition, I Am Greta, is often being misconceived. It showcases her from the early strikes to coming to the U.S. It utterly brought me to tears, and humanizes her and her family," he said.
"Citizens Of Moria is another one about an Afghan man interned at a refugee camp in Greece that is so amazing. It will open your eyes and provide context to a very confusing world. But if you just want to have fun? Try Bread In The Bones, a jazzy romp about bread-making, or the immensely enjoyable La Bonne Epouse, because no one can have enough Juliette Binoche in their lives.
One major theme that ties through the festival is that of family, says Beaudry.
"The thought of traditions, working through difficult history and family is at the forefront of the program. Everyone is reassessing the importance this year. From Little Orphans to Under The Weather, it's about family and what we do for each other," he said.
"Even in The Forbidden Reel – a film about national cinema – we're talking about a culture built on same values. It's about family, friends, the transitions we make, and given the current world context right now, it's no surprise it's so important."

Parker's Picks -- 5 Hotly Tipped FIN Films:
I have specifically left out the films mentioned above, but I still have some movies not mentioned that I feel will end up being little gems. Feel free to check out the following and take some chances:
Christopher Walken's leading role as a Canadian farmer taking on a giant corporation is just the type of environmental film we need. Frankly, director Clark Johnson has been in the business a long time and could use a hit film. We supporting stars like eclectic Christina Ricci and Zach Braff, this might be just what people looking for a late-career showcase are looking for in Walken.
I love me a conspiracy theory movie, and April Mullen has assembled an impressive cast for this tilt about a P.I. checking into a suspicious death in a small town. With Heather Graham, Tommy Lee Jones, and Aaron Eckhart on board, there's lots of star power here. It could be a huge surprise.
I got one look at who the leads were for Black Bear and was sold immediately. This flick about a writer struggling to do their job seeks time away at a rural retreat, but the time in the woods causes inner demons to come through. Aubrey Plaza in a dramatic role is exactly what I've been waiting for, and paired with Christopher Abbott and Sarah Gadon, this should be a firework display of a film.
This documentary about the campaign that led to the American Psychiatric Associations decision to remove homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses is going to strike deep. Much in the way LGBTQ+ documentaries like The Fruit Machine and Killing Patient Zero have hit home in previous years, Cured has the potential to be transformative, and I cannot wait to see it.
Women In Blue
Given the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as police brutality across the U.S., this will be one to watch. It's a documentary about female officers in Minneapolis trying to reform their department and regain the community's trust after a shooting causes the female chief to resign.
This is a huge, timely film that feels like must-watch cinema this year.

The Bill Blass Brand is Staging a Comeback
The American legacy label is set to relaunch for Spring 2016
American fashion brand Bill Blass has announced plans to relaunch under the reigns of newly appointed president and COO Stuart M Goldblatt, according to the Fashion Times. Famed for both his womenswear and menswear labels which dominated the fashion scene in the '70s and '80s, Blass was known for his glamorous frocks favored by the likes of First Ladies Jacqueline Kennedy and Nancy Reagan, as well as Liza Minelli and Barbara Walters. The designer's legacy was carried on after his passing in 2002 by Michaele Vollbracht who served as creative director of the womenswear line until 2007. Bill Blass the label has since struggled to carry on the designer's legacy and ultimately folded the company in 2012.
Set to return to make a triumphant return to the fashion realm for Spring 2016, the new Bill Blass will produce both womenswear and menswear lines—for which a new creative director has yet to be named. Although it is unclear which direction the brand will go in for its next chapter, we're excited for the rebirth of Bill Blass's legendary fashion empire. Bill Blass' name on the Fashion Walk of Fame will shine just a bit brighter again.

Q: I cannot figure out the foreach I am trying to set up a mxl product feed using php but this is all new to me and I am hoping someone can help.  I have attached my current code which list's the product id's that have multiple sku's separately.
The output looks like this:

Product_ID 1
  SKU 1234
  Product_ID1
  SKU12345

I am trying to get is to look like this using the foreach

Product_ID 1
  SKU 1234
  SKU 12345

Here is my current code
while ($row = $st->fetch()) {

    $xml .= "\t\t\t<Product_ID>".$row['product_id']."</Product_ID>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<Manufacture>".$row['manufactures_name']."</Manufacture>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<Product_Name>".$row['product_name']."</Product_Name>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<Product_Category>".$row['product_type']."</Product_Category>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<SKU>".$row['sku']."</SKU>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<UPC>".$row['upc']."</UPC>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<Base_Price>".$row['base_price']."</Base_Price>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<QtyAvailable>".$row['quantity']."</QtyAvailable>\r\n";

}

I tried to add foreach here but I do not have a clue.
while ($row = $st->fetch())

    $xml .= "\t\t\t<Product_ID>".$row['product_id']."</Product_ID>\r\n";
        foreach ('product_id' == 'product_id');
           $xml .= "\t\t\t<SKU>".$row['sku']."</SKU>\r\n";

    $xml .= "\t\t\t<Manufacture>".$row['manufactures_name']."</Manufacture>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<Product_Name>".$row['product_name']."</Product_Name>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<Product_Category>".$row['product_type']."</Product_Category>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<UPC>".$row['upc']."</UPC>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<Base_Price>".$row['base_price']."</Base_Price>\r\n";
    $xml .= "\t\t\t<QtyAvailable>".$row['quantity']."</QtyAvailable>\r\n";
}

A: If you're trying to generate XML, may I suggest you use PHP's SimpleXML library as it gives you much more flexibility, and reads much cleaner. For documentation see http://php.net/simplexml.
Example from the docs:
<?php

include 'example.php';

$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
$sxe->addAttribute('type', 'documentary');

$movie = $sxe->addChild('movie');
$movie->addChild('title', 'PHP2: More Parser Stories');
$movie->addChild('plot', 'This is all about the people who make it work.');

$characters = $movie->addChild('characters');
$character  = $characters->addChild('character');
$character->addChild('name', 'Mr. Parser');
$character->addChild('actor', 'John Doe');

$rating = $movie->addChild('rating', '5');
$rating->addAttribute('type', 'stars');

echo $sxe->asXML();

?>

Despite the many developments in the teaching of science, an aspect that continues to be neglected appears to be the character and nature of science (NOS). This is becoming especially important in the light of recent developments in pedagogy, as, for example, more teachers adopt constructivist methodologies and computing technology enables simulations that may blur the lines between models and reality. From the literature, it is known that teachers' modern NOS conceptions, though not a sufficient condition for transmission of modern NOS views, is necessary. In this study, pre-service teachers' NOS conceptions are assessed with an adapted Views of the Nature of Science (VNOS) instrument, originally designed by Lederman, Abd-El-Khalick, Bell, and Schwartz (2002). The modified instrument is an eight-item, open ended questionnaire – designed to elicit descriptive responses to common NOS misconceptions. Responses were analysed into coded categories of 'informed, 'uninformed, and 'ambiguous'. It was found that a significant proportion of teachers possessed uninformed views. Some implications for teaching and teacher education are presented in this paper for discussion.
