Ostrander disappointed in analyst's comments during Track & Field Championships

ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - Allie Ostrander is no stranger to making headlines on the track instead of social media. But the three-time national champion recently posted to Instagram about ESPN's coverage of the NCAA Div. I outdoor track and field national championships.
The Instagram post read:
"I was disappointed with the commentary that has occurred during my races for the past two years. Both times, the comments have brought attention to my appearance more than my ability. In 2018, I was called 'the baby faced assassin' and told that I looked like I still played with barbies. This year, the commentators found it necessary to state (incorrectly I might add) my height and weight multiple times. Not only were these comments objectifying and unnecessary, they drew attention away from the real focus of the event."
Ostrander continued to drive home the point that commentary of these women's events should focus on what women are capable of--not about their looks.
"In a sport where eating disorders and body dysmorphia are so common, the media has an opportunity to help women (and men!) feel capable, powerful, and worthy, but, by focusing on appearance and body proportions, this opportunity is missed," she wrote.
The post sparked a response from ESPN:
"We greatly appreciate Allie bringing this important conversation to light. Commentary about height & weight was not broadcast on ESPN. The remark in question was made by the in-venue announcer at the championship," wrote ESPN's Amanda Brooks on Twitter.
As Ostrander's success on the track grows, so does her fan base. And Ostrander is becoming known for her candid post-race interviews. For example, after Ostrander won her third straight steeplechase national championship, she had fun discussing the heat in Austin at the national championships that week.
"I feel so hot right now, and not in the attractive way. I feel like I'm really low on the scale in that department," Ostrander said in an interview.

Ostrander even poked fun at herself at the end of the Instagram post:
"And anyway, everyone looked hot on Saturday so there was really no need to comment ��♀��"
The Kenai runner is not afraid to use her national reach to bring attention to other things besides breaking records.
I would like to precede this rant by saying that I am incredibly grateful for the equal coverage that @espn provided for both the men's and women's NCAA track and field championships. This is often not the case as 40% of athletes are females, but they only receive 4% of sports media coverage. With that said, I was disappointed with the commentary that has occurred during my races for the past two years. Both times, the comments have brought attention to my appearance more than my ability. In 2018, I was called "the baby faced assassin" and told that I looked like I still played with barbies. This year, the commentators found it necessary to state (incorrectly I might add) my height and weight multiple times. Not only were these comments objectifying and unnecessary, they drew attention away from the real focus of the event. People attend this event and listen to the commentary because they want to see what we are capable of, not what we look like we're capable of. So why do the commentators insist on providing information that has nothing to do with performance in the sport? In a sport where eating disorders and body dysmorphia are so common, the media has an opportunity to help women (and men!) feel capable, powerful, and worthy, but, by focusing on appearance and body proportions, this opportunity is missed. And anyway, everyone looked hot on Saturday so there was really no need to comment ��♀�� • • • #womeninsport #NCAATF #bodypositivity

Robert Pollard: Cock Blocking The Romantics [7-Inch Feature]
Christopher Anthony | September 3, 2015 April 19, 2013 | 7" Feature
Robert Pollard
Cock Blocking The Romantics
Happy Jack Rock Records [2013]
The Cock Blocking The Romantics Singles Collection features twelve 7-inch singles that originally were released independently from Robert Pollard as a monthly series back in 2007-2008. The A sides are songs from Robert Pollard's 2007 simultaneous releases on Merge Records, Standard Gargoyle Decisions and Coast To Coast Carpet Of Love, while the B sides are non-album tracks. You can see the track listing for each 7-inch HERE.
Like all of Robert Pollard b-sides (and songs in general) you get a wide range of styles here that fall into mid-tempo rockers like "Coast To Coast Carpet Of Love", power pop romps such as "Piss Along You Bird" and the more acoustic lo-fi strums of "Spirit Of The Fly". There is also the John Shough version of the Pollard penned "Sixland" (which appeared on Guided By Voices Suitcase 3) as a b-side to "Count Us In". "Sixland" is a track that I have always thought had great potential for Pollard with its very early GBV sound.
For some the high point of this set will be the art designed box that houses the 7-inches. The box set is limited to just 300 copies and the singles are pressed on black wax and housed in standard plain white sleeves. You also will receive a download card for the b-sides only. For fans that have already purchased these singles Rockathon Records has you covered as this collector box will be available for purchase separately.
Originally there were 1000 each of these singles pressed but the b-sides were not available digitally until now. This singles collection will be out tomorrow on Record Store Day and should be one of the harder titles to find with such a low pressing so if you see one – you should grab one!

Q: Multiple plot windows from plotting function in ipython? I have a function that does my plotting. Something like:
def myplot(data):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots(10,10, figsize=(18,12))

    for i in range(10):
        ax[i/10, i%10].imshow(data[i/10, i%10],cmap=plt.cm.gist_yarg,
                      interpolation='nearest', aspect='equal')
    plt.show()

#print the fist plot
myplot(data1)

#print another
myplot(data2)

When I run the script using ipython myscript.py it will pause after myplot(data1) and won't resume until I close the plot window. How can I keep multiple windows open?

A: Sure, just remove your plt.show() from the loop and put it at the end of your script. Every time you create a new figure (as in the plt.subplots(...) function), a new window is created.

Ladakh: Umla becomes 12th village of Leh to get water supply in each household
Ladakh [India], November 30 (ANI): Umla became the 12th village of Leh that has tap water supply in each of its 25-odd households even in sub-zero temperature under Jal Jeevan Mission.
A villager said, "Earlier during winters, we had no option but to fetch water from streams by breaking ice layer. Now, we have heard that administered has dug up almost 8 feet to extract water. We have heard that the deeper we go under the ground, the water remains warmer."Another villager said, "It was very difficult during winter. Earlier, during winters, the snow would be around 4 feet. All the water taps in the village would be covered with snow, so we had to go to streams to fetch water." (ANI)

Tidningen titel var bara Göteborgstrakten till 1958. I samband med ny edition fick den undertiteln Tidning för Göteborgs förorter men sedan varierade undertitlarna mycket. Orden modern-populär och opolitisk var vanliga. Tidningens avslutande år återgick man till bara Göteborgstrakten. Editionen blev Kungälvs-Posten Det är en dagstidning som startades som en bilaga till tidningen Göteborgstrakten. Tidningen var edition till denna tidning utgiven i Mölndal till 1970 då Göteborstrakten lades ner. Fullständiga titeln var i starten Kungälvs-posten / Tidning för Kungälv och inlandsbygden.

Utgivningen var en dag i veckan torsdag eller fredag. Tidningen hade en edition till oktober 1958 till 1970. Tidningens historia skildras i ett jubileumsnummer 5 april 1963 då tidningen var 40 år.

Tryckning
Tidningen tryckes med antikva och bara i svart men med dekorelement i färg från 28 april 1967 till december 1970. Satsytorna var först stora men de sista åren blev tidningen tabloid.

Today it's a writeup for an NPC from the Federation-Apocalypse game. This version doesn't yet include Skills or have much in the way of equipment – but that's not too uncommon for dragons anyway.
Like almost all of our characters, Kelsaru is designed using the classless d20 point-buy rules from Eclipse: The Codex Persona – available in print HERE and in a shareware version HERE.
L5 Crystal Dragon with +2 ECL Racial Package.
Kelsaru is moderately ruthless, if inclined to be "fair" (perhaps due to her telepathic prowess), and was originally in search of a realm where dragons were well-respected (or, if possible, where they ruled), were numerous enough to form a society, and where technology was limited enough not to be TOO threatening. The Dragonworlds looked pretty good, at least at first glance, so she moved in and started getting set up. When she started infringing on Kevin's territory, he promptly started courting her – an endeavor which, thanks to his massive enhancements and absurdly high charisma, met with rapid success.
Kelsaru knows that she's been claimed by someone who turned out to be MUCH more powerful, richer, and influential than she is – but he's still cute, he looks like he'll be an excellent father for her children, he willingly shares his resources, he's made her the alpha female in his harem, he likes her and pays attention to her personally, he asks her opinions, he's vastly superior to most other young male dragons – and simply associating with him seems to bestow a good deal of power, which is something she's still wondering about.
Kelsaru was originally a fairly minor NPC – a young dragoness in possession of a few bits of useful information and enough personal power that the characters would have to negotiate it out of her. She'd dominated a dozen other young dragons, and had some substantial holdings of her own. Other than that, she was essentially a distraction.
Kevin, however, opted to treat the encounter as a date, as a chance to show off his wealth and how attractive he was and how sociable he could be WITHOUT reference to his raw supernatural power or to the making of sorcerous pacts. The fact that she responded to him personally, and willingly, was very pleasant. He'd never bonded with the Thrall-concubines, with the slave-girls, or with the girls from casual flings; the situations were too unequal with the Thralls and slave-girls and the emotional involvement just wasn't there with the casual pairings. Associating with someone who responded to him socially and who was willing to be his without essentially being purchased was something he'd been missing. The fact that she thought he'd make a good sire for her eggs was a basic compliment for any male. The fact that she had substantial powers and resources of her own made the situation far more equal. The fact that he's starting a family with a non-human is likely to lead to complications – but Kevin doesn't care. He's bonding.
Energy Infusion (Cold, 6 CP).
Power Package (30 CP): Inherent Spells (Psychic Powers), Bonus Uses based on Constitution (all four uses per day for +3 CP unless otherwise noted): Tongues and Suggestion (2x L2 spells, 9 CP), Dispel Magic (L3 spell, 9 CP), Radiant Cone (L4 spell, 1d6/Level to 15d6 plus save or blindness for 1d4 rounds) 7/Day (12 CP).

Base Cost: 41 CP.
Gem Dragon Racial Upgrade: +32 CP (96 after package Specialization and Corruption)/+1 ECL.
Reflex Action, Specialized in Psionics Only for double effect (6 CP): May interrupt the normal sequence to take three psychic actions three times per day.

Spell/Power Resistance (6 CP): 5 + ECL (Current total of 7).
Inherent Spells (Psionic Powers): All with Con-based +3 Bonus Uses for four uses/day each. Save DC (10 + Con Mod + Level). L5 (9 CP), L6 (12 CP), L7 (18 CP), L8 (18 CP), and L9 (21 CP). The list below also includes the abilities from the basic draconic package for easy reference.
Tongues: L2, speak and comprehend all languages.
Dispel Magic, L3, disrupts magical/psychic energies.
Radiant Cone (Her "breath Weapon", usable 7 times per day for +3 CP), L4 spell, 1d6/Level to 15d6 plus save or blindness for 1d4 rounds).
Plane Shift: L5, between planes permitting psionic dimensional travel.
Psychic Ward: L6, any L4 or lower psionic defensive discipline.
Summon Construct VII: L7, summons a formidable psychic construct.
Kinetic Mastery: L8, any telekinetic effect of L6 or less.
Telepathic Mastery: L9, any telepathic effect of L7 or less.
Available Character Points: Restrictions/Armor (+1 CP/Level), Disadvantages/Healing Resistant, Irreverent, and Secret (is actually a very rare gem dragon, not one of the usual species) (10 CP), Level Five Base (144), and three level-based Bonus Feats (L1 and L3, 12). Grand Total: 171 CP.
Languages (5): Draconic, English, Japanese, Sylvan, and Aquan.

Wisdom 18/+4. Provides +4 Defense when unarmored or lightly armored, aware of attacks, and free to move.
Original Rolls: 16, 17, 13, 16, 16, 17 (pretty good, even for 5d6 keeping the best three). +1 Charisma at L4.
Hit Dice: L1-5D6 (10 CP).
Proficiencies: All Simple Weapons (3 CP -2 from Dexterity = 1 CP).
Move: 30 (Base) +30 (Personal Haste) = 60 (also Flies at 60).
Universal DR 8/- base, 12/- base due to racial modifiers.
Usual Weapon: Claws, +12/+12, 1d8+8.
Advanced Augmented Bonus (18 CP): Adds Str Mod to Con Mod for HP purposes.
Improved Augmented Bonus (12 CP): Adds Con Mod to Cha Mod for social purposes.
Leadership (6 CP). Specialized for double effect/must personally recruit followers. This normally covers her servants and followers.
Dominate; L4, 7 Power, Control other's minds.
Energy Adaption; L4, 7 Power, gain Resistance 10 to all forms of energy.
Psionic Blast; L3, 5 Power, Stunning blast in a 30′ cone.
Psi-Shield; L2, 3 Power, add +8 to existing Spell/Power resistance.
Lesser Insight; L1, 1 Power, gain +10 insight bonus on a short-term skill check.
Skills: 7 (7 CP) + 16 (Fast Learner/Skills) + 32 (Intelligence) = 53 SP.
In general, Kelsaru's skills will get the usual +4 Int bonus if she's trained in them, the +5 for narrow skills, and a +3 to sensory skill checks.
Equipment: Kelsaru has a good deal of "local" magical equipment, but isn't too well equipped for the Manifold yet. Now that she's out and traveling, that will probably change rapidly. Kevin will certainly get her some military-class Smartclothes (even if they will be in a rather revealing mode most of the time) and any other equipment she might like.
Kevin, as a power of the darkness, has expended a Dominion Point to grant Kelsaru an "official" appointment as his consort – and set up three Witchcraft pacts with her as well. The pacts are "Spirit" (so he can claim her spirit and bring her back if she's killed), "Duties" (helping supervise his harems and offspring), and "Missions" (occasionally bearing his children). The disadvantages of the office include always dressing / shapeshifting to please Kevin, being a target for anyone else who wants the position, and being valuable – since other dragons will generally regard her as a property to be acquired (these are slightly less serious than the usual disadvantages of an office, but – on the other hand – it's a less serious office than most).
The Adamant Will: Resist mental controls and conceal your aura.
Dreamfaring: Limited astral and ethereal projection and the ability to see into those realms.
Glamour: Projective telepathy. Good for bonuses on social skills and minor hypnotic and illusion effects.
The Hand of Shadows: Minor telekinetic and animation effects.
Healing: Heal 1d4/Power up to 3d4/Round, resist drugs, toxins, and similar effects.
The Inner Eye: Thought-sensing, good for a +6 bonus on relevant skill checks, sense-sharing, and similar effects.
Shadowweave: Minor illusions, +6 bonus to relevant skills.
Witchsight: Enhance senses, adding special enhancements, a +6 bonus for a time, or a +18 bonus for an instant.
Dimensional Adaption (1 CP): Enthusiast, Specialized: Only for the "Identities" skill, Corrupted: only changes in new realm, reduces the cost of Identities by 1 SP.
Relic Mastery (4 CP): Enthusiast x2, Specialized in Relics for double effect the first time, to half the cost on the second time. This lets her have 3 CP worth of relics of her choice.
Kelsaru is very powerful on her own – that +2 ECL template is designed for efficiency – and the 53 CP worth of enhancements Kevin is bestowing, plus whatever her personal ID includes (mostly holdings and local equipment and such at the moment; she isn't used to the ability to drop into new identities yet), makes her pretty impressive. The fact that the Federation-Apocalypse setting lets you ignore the level-based restrictions on Inherent Spells and such just makes it worse.
Her basic draconic racial package has a number of items with an asterisk next to them, but no explanation is given for what they're significant of. What are they?
Her Reflex Training in her gem dragon racial upgrade notes that it's specialized in the use of psionics only for double effect. Given that Reflex Training lets you take a single standard action out of the usual order of initiative three times per day, I'd presume that this lets her take two psionic actions on one use of her Reflex Training, three times per day; however, the ability says she can do so three times…where is the third use coming from?
Her purchased abilities are noted as costing her 84 CP, but adding them up, I keep getting 90 (6 CP for Fast Learner + 18 CP Advanced Augmented Bonus + 12 CP Improved Augmented Bonus + 6 CP Leadership + 48 CP for 8 levels of wilder = 90 CP). Is the listing of 84 CP in error, or has she overspent?
Finally, I'm almost afraid to ask but what is the Psionic Path of Sexuality? It's clearly meant to be a path a la Paths of Power, but what powers are in it? Is it just a psionic version of the Pleasure domain, albeit without the domain ability (Paths of Power II, p. 23; though this doesn't seem like a perfect fit, e.g. a power to summon a consort, when she already is one herself)?
The asterisks are easy; the racial package is from over HERE, and the asterisks simply designate physically-based abilities that will operate normally in the Core Worlds of the Federation-Apocalypse setting. For most other settings they're pretty meaningless.
The psionic Path of Sexuality – like the "Tantric Ways" path in Paths of Power (it's sandwiched in between the paths of Summoning and Temporis but isn't actually described beyond a note) – would presumably cover control of fertility, immunity to sexual diseases, enhanced seductiveness, and allowing the user and his or her partners to enjoy themselves far more than is normally possible.
It's really never needed a description beyond "Everyone involved has lots of fun" and the possibility of later entanglements. The Pleasure Domain got some details because you only usually only get a few domains – and so it needed some actual mechanical effects.
The last couple of items are, sadly, simply examples of "a rush job". Her Leadership should have a note that this was effectively subsumed into her having access to Kevin's armies of Thralls and Servants (and therefore didn't cost anything) – and I fear that the Reflex Training is probably simply a typo since I don't remember anything special about it, and should read two extra actions three times a day.
Unfortunately, wordpress has changed their editing functions; if I reopen old pages to edit them (and fix typos) it now discards much of the formatting and it takes a lot of tedious HTML editing (which I'm not good at) to put it back. It has been suggested that I try to convert things to a Wiki – but there doesn't seem to be any way to do that that won't require months I really haven't got.


Sailor Jerry, born Norman Collins in 1911, is considered the prodigal grandfather of the Americana tattoo culture and style. The white haired, mustached artist would ink his clients while smoking a pipe and chatting about his war days. Today both he and his ink are legendary. Both the original designs and letters of Collins are currently protected by Sailor Jerry, Ltd., which is owned by Norman's protégés, Michael Malone and Edward Hardy.
The onset of this historic career began when a young war torn Collins took up residency in Hawaii's Chinatown as a young apprentice to native artists there. He learned traditional Polynesian and Asian methods and honed his own style now known as the standard in the modern tattoo industry.
Once you have seen a few Jerry tattoos, you start to sense a theme. Bare women with long lashes, lots of wild and poisonous animals, ships at sea with large and multitudinous masts, dice, bottles of booze and other symbols that epitomize the American male persona over the past 50 or so years.
Essentially anything that can be used as a symbol of what Collins would have called "Man's demise" can be incorporated into a Jerry styled tattoo. The overall message most of the time is that you cannot win for losing, nothing is going to go your way and of course, hard times have shaped you and made you are hard - and hard to deal with man or woman.
How Has It Lasted So Long?
The Sailor Jerry tattoo story is a long and tumultuous one that deserves respect and recognition. The work of Norman Collins may come in and out of style as other types of tattoos take the front seat over years. That being said, Kanji tattoos, tribal tattoos, other kinds of Americana (mainly influenced by Jerry designs) and Chinese tattoos go in and out of style cyclically while the work of Collins lives in. A Sailor Jerry may not always be in the mainstream, but the overall message and style resurfaces all the time and enjoys a great deal of popularity when it does.
There are many Hollywood A listers and other famous people with Jerry tats or ink that is clearly inspired by the work of the late Norman Collins.

Indigo Moon, Inc. owners and operators are Kris Moody and Ellen Willis.
Ellen and Kris and some friendly alpacas!
Ellen Willis has loved horses all her life, and has always felt the profound impact that a horse can have on the human spirit. Now with the creation of Indigo Moon Farm, Ellen can share with others the comfort of healing, as well as the exhilaration of growth that horses can bring to people. Ellen holds several degrees and certifications, and has a broad range of experience that perfectly suits her for providing Indigo Moon services. Ellen has a BS in psychology from Eastern Kentucky University, and a MA in liberal studies from North Carolina State University. Go Wolfpack! She is a certified Special Education teacher in the Rochester NH school District. Ellen is a Middle School Special Education Teacher and Certified in the WILSON Language program. Currently, Ellen is working on a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling at Southern New Hampshire University. She and Kris both practice Natural Horsemanship with their horses, and extend the methodology to the alpacas as well. Ellen is an equine specialist, and is certified by EAGALA in equine assisted growth and learning. She is currently serving as the NH EAGALA Network Coordinator. During the School year Ellen offers Equine and Alpaca Assisted Learning programs and works with a licensed Mental Health professional to provide EAGALA services at Indigo Moon Farm.
Indigo Moon Farm grew out of what Kris and Ellen like to refer to as their "brilliant dream" – not brilliant meaning brainy, but brilliant meaning in terms of brightness and beauty. After owning and boarding horses for several years, thoughts and ideas started to find their way into conversations about dreams for our future. There were a few things we wanted in our lives – to have our horses at home, to become more deeply connected to the local sustainable farming community, and to share our experience of the therapeutic power of horses with others who might benefit from it. We kept our eyes open for the right piece of property to come along, putting our faith in the universe that if it was meant to happen, somehow it would. When we found this farm, we knew it was happening. And once on the farm, we began to feel the special power it held. There is peace and serenity around us, the soil is good, the animals are peaceful and content, and all who come to visit feel that special something. This is exactly what we want for this farm. We want the healing nature of the animals to fill human hearts, and we want the fertility of the soil to sustain us and others. We named the farm Indigo Moon Farm.
Indigo as a color is a rich, deep blue used as a popular die color for textiles going back centuries. Indigo on the color spectrum was long considered to be one of the 7 divisions of the rainbow, as first introduce by Isaac Newton. Our blue jeans, worn for work and play, are blue as a result of their indigo dye. And in some spiritual thinking, indigo represents the sixth chakra including the third eye, and relates to intuition and spiritual knowledge. All these things, and our love for those deep blue evening skies just before dark with a full moon rising, have come together on Indigo Moon Farm. We feel the wonder and the enchantment here.
Located in the rolling plain of coastal southeastern New Hampshire, Indigo Moon Farm sits just below the lakes region at the foothills of the White Mountains, within reach of the Atlantic Ocean just to the east. Indigo Moon Farm is home to our fuzzy alpacas and our beautiful horses. Our alpaca herd consists of 14 Huacaya alpacas of Peruvian, Bolivian and Chilean descent, and our three horses are all Tennessee Walking Horse mares. We use the same methods to care for our alpacas and our horses, believing in natural handling and training, and prioritizing attention to a healthy, wholesome diet. Our horses each have distinct personalities, and each connects with people in her own individual way. As part of our equine assisted therapy programs, our horses work with a therapist to help people find health and healing. Our alpacas are bred to always advance the breed, aiming for denser, crimpier, shinier fleece and animals with strong, healthy confirmation. We shear once a year, and the alpaca fleece is processed into roving and yarn, and a variety of handmade products such as hats, scarves, felted soap, etc. Fiber and fiber products are sold at the farm and at fairs and festivals. Some of the alpacas are shown at breeder shows, and high quality alpacas become part of the breeding program. As the herd grows, alpacas are sold, and mentoring services are provided to anyone purchasing animals. Both our alpacas and our horses participate in our therapeutic programs, bringing a sense of joy, accomplishment and healing to all who work with them.

Q: openssl_decrypt tag value I'm using the openssl_encrypt / decrypt method in my website but i'm having some troubles with the $tag option
openssl_encrypt ( $data, $method, $key, $options, $iv, $tag )
openssl_decrypt ( $data, $method, $key, $options, $iv, $tag )

from http://php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-encrypt.php, the definition of tag is: The authentication tag passed by reference when using AEAD cipher mode (GCM or CCM). But i didn't understand it.
I tried it in my codes
$data = "text to be encrypted";
$cipher = "aes-128-gcm";
$key = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnob123456";
$option = 0;
$ivlen = openssl_cipher_iv_length($cipher);
$iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($ivlen);

if (in_array($cipher, openssl_get_cipher_methods())){
    $encryptedData = openssl_encrypt($data,$cipher,$key,$option,$iv,$tag);
    echo $encryptedData;

    $decryptedData = openssl_decrypt($encryptedData,$cipher,$key,$option,$iv,$tag);
    echo $decryptedData;
}

i got this result:
encrypted text: Vlx/yKkPhg0DpD0YKvnFKRiCh/I=
decrypted text: text to be encrypted

which is correct. but if i directly decrypt the encrypted text this way:
$data = "text to be encrypted";
$cipher = "aes-128-gcm";
$key = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnob123456";
$option = 0;
$ivlen = openssl_cipher_iv_length($cipher);
$iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($ivlen);

if (in_array($cipher, openssl_get_cipher_methods())){
    $encryptedData = "Vlx/yKkPhg0DpD0YKvnFKRiCh/I=";

    $decryptedData = openssl_decrypt($encryptedData,$cipher,$key,$option,$iv,$tag);
    echo $decryptedData;
}

i'm getting:
Notice: Undefined variable: tag

if someone could explain to me why this is happening and what should be the value of $tags. thanks

A: The tag that PHP is complaining about is an essential aspect of AES when using GCM mode of operation. In this mode, not only does the AES block cipher get applied, but an authentication tag gets calculated as well. It is an array of bytes that represents a MAC (Message Authentication Code) that can be used to verify the integrity of the data and wen decrypting. That same tag needs to be provided to do that verification. See the Wikipedia page about Galois/Counter Mode for more details.
So in order to successfully decrypt that ciphertext, you need to capture the $tag variable resulting from the openssl_encrypt() invocation and feed it into the openssl_decrypt() invocation. You did not do that, hence the complaint about the missing tag. Note that the tag (typically) contains non-readable characters so it is more convenient to store it in a base64 encoded format.
In addition to the $tag variable, you should also provide the same value for the $iv variable to the openssl_decrypt() method as you used in the openssl_encrypt() invocation. Again, base64 encoding makes that easier.
A quick test below demonstrates all this, where I first modified your script to print more stuff and then used the provided script to decrypt:
$ php test1.php
iv base64-ed: vBKbi8c6vCyvWonV
plaintext: text to be encrypted
ciphertext base64-ed: z28spOd3UEDmj+3a8n/WK11ls7w=
GCM tag base64-ed: OIAggQCGUbPgmPN6lFjQ8g==
$ php test2.php
decrypted ciphertext: text to be encrypted

where the code for test2.php is the following:
$cipher = "aes-128-gcm";
$key = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnob123456";
$option = 0;
$iv = base64_decode("vBKbi8c6vCyvWonV");

if (in_array($cipher, openssl_get_cipher_methods())){

    $encryptedData = "z28spOd3UEDmj+3a8n/WK11ls7w=";
    $tag = base64_decode("OIAggQCGUbPgmPN6lFjQ8g==");

    $decryptedData = openssl_decrypt($encryptedData,$cipher,$key,$option,$iv,$tag);
    echo("decrypted ciphertext: ".$decryptedData."\n");
}

The Alienist – Chasing a Serial Killer in 1896 New York
When I first watched the trailers for The Alienist, I was intrigued. The story, based on the 1994 bestseller of the same name by Caleb Carr, focuses on a series of gruesome murders of young, male prostitutes in 1896 New York City and the team (including the "Alienist" of the title) which sets out to solve them. The short snippets of action kept me on the edge of my seat, with intriguing bits of narration over dark and macabre scenes; and quick cuts of street urchins in rags provided a startling counterpoint to the high-born in ball gowns and tuxes. The stunning sets, the dramatic music, and the creative graphics also added to the atmosphere.
The on-line and social media support given this limited series has been first class, too. The Alienist website contains behind-the-scenes interviews with the cast, features about the Gilded Age, madness, and the new science of forensics. I even noticed "bus shelter" ads with the gripping tagline, "Madness Lies Within." It has been a clever and targeted buildup to the actual series.
After watching two episodes, I was even more impressed. Daniel Brühl, as Criminal Psychologist Dr. Laszlo Kreisler, strikes just the right tone of brilliant but obsessive; Luke Evans plays the complex newspaper illustrator, John Moore, who is caught between the city's demons and his own. And Dakota Fanning is the self-possessed and intelligent young woman who was the first female to be hired by the New York Police Department and Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt; and has her sights set on becoming the first female police detective in New York City.
Daniel Brühl (center)
The focus on historical accuracy also elevates this series. Turn of the century New York is grim and grimy – you can practically smell and feel the dirt on the streets. The old street lights cast eerie shadows on everything. Even the sound effects are crisp and compelling, propelling the story forward at breakneck speed. In short, it is a high end, first class production. And you see every dollar of the estimated $5,000,000 price tag per episode on the screen.
Unfortunately, beneath it all, there is little pulse. I was never carried away by the story; I was never hooked. The dialogue feels stiff and forced; and worse yet, predictable. Even the acting feels a bit flat. Or maybe it's the directing. I'm not sure, but I am sure that I never really connected with it on an emotional level.
That is unfortunate, since high-end mini-series like this one definitely add flavor to the new "TV landscape." While I applaud TNT's efforts to go beyond re-runs and begin to compete with Netflix and Amazon, I just wish this one had been more successful. For right now, I'll stick to Law and Order.
The Alienist premieres January 22, 2018, on TNT.

Notorious – The Drama Behind Cable News
Wendy Walker spent 32 years at CNN, 18 of those as the senior executive producer for Larry King Live. Criminal defense attorney, Mark Geragos, worked with Walker serving as a consultant. The two are now executive producers of the new ABC drama, Notorious, a behind the scenes look at what goes into producing a cable news show.
For news junkies who miss HBO's The Newsroom, Notorious, might help curb those cravings. The ego-driven personalities on and off the set yield soap-opera worthy story lines. (Just consider the recent developments at Fox News.) Piper Perabo plays Julia George, a "powerhouse" who produces the Megan Kelly-like talk show, Louise Herrick Live. Daniel Sunjata plays Jake Gregorian, a high-profile defense attorney who often winds up in a chair being grilled by Herrick. Yet what viewers see is only part of the story. George and Gregorian are very much a team, massaging and managing the news for both their benefits. When one of Gregorian's clients is found at a murder scene, his hands covered in blood, the duo will find events spiraling out of control. Can they trust each other? Stay tuned.
Notorious benefits from a strong cast. Perabo doesn't rely on the athletic moves she displayed as CIA agent Annie Walker in USA's Covert Affairs. George's power comes from the information that she possesses. (When she discovers her boyfriend, an ambitious judge, has been visiting prostitutes, she doesn't just break up with him. She puts him on notice that she'll hold onto that nugget until she finds a good time to use it, a time bomb if there ever was one.)
Daniel Sunjata and J. August Richards (Photo credit: ABC/Kelsey McNeal)
Sunjata has an impressive resume that includes major roles on FX's Rescue Me and USA's Graceland. As Gregorian, he exudes the confidence and arrogance befitting an attorney who boasts a star-stunned list of clients. Gregorian and George are both used to being in control. There's a sexual tension in their relationship which, we assume, will also be part and parcel of the show's theme.
Kate Jennings Grant (Herrick), who has a long list of TV and film credits, recently won rave reviews for her performance in the Broadway revival of Noises Off. On set, Herrick is all business, asking the hard questions, never letting a guest off the hook. Off set, she's often found in her dressing room canoodling with her latest boy toy. Jennings Grant manages both sides of her character with ease. She's a delight to watch.
Kate Jennings Grant (Photo credit: ABC/Kelsey McNeal)
The supporting cast is also strong. J. August Richards plays Bradley, Gregorian's brother and law partner, who takes the lead in the pilot's subplot, a blackmail scheme against one of the firm's clients. Jake may be the face of Gregorian & Gregorian, but Bradley is the one who keeps the wheels turning. Sepideh Moafi is Julia's assistant, Megan Byrd, who also watches out for her boss's welfare. Ryan Guzman plays fresh-faced Ryan Mills, an intern who got the job because his father is head of the network, but is eager to prove himself and impress Julia. His first move involves tricking Jake's associate, Ella Benjamin (Aimeé Teegarden). She's initially angry, but who can resist that fresh face?
Notorious follows the trend of many shows these days where an entire season is devoted to solving one crime. (TNT's Murder in the First has done that for three seasons.) Anthology shows demand commitment on the part of the viewer. But once that viewer is hooked, the ratings follow. All things considered, Notorious has cast out a strong line.
Notorious premieres at 9 p.m. Thursday, September 22, 2016, on ABC.

Jared Goff confused by Rams giving up on him
by Larry Brown
Jared Goff was signed to a long-term contract extension by the Los Angeles Rams before the 2019 season. And a year and a half later, the team traded him to the Detroit Lions as part of a big deal that was headlined by Matthew Stafford.
Goff recognized that the Rams had soured on him. But he's not sure when that happened or why.
"That's the tough part right now is trying to figure that out, when did that happen?" Goff told The Los Angeles Times' Sam Farmer. "Those are all conversations that I may or may not have, and try to figure it out. That's the conversation to have."
Goff also told Farmer he was disappointed and upset to be traded.
In many regards this is like someone who got dumped in a relationship and is sitting there asking questions. Goff was the No. 1 overall pick by the Rams. He was their quarterback for the Super Bowl, three playoff appearances, and two division titles. They made a long-tmer financial commitment to him.
What probably surprised Goff the most is the speed by which things changed. He never saw it coming. It went from him being the franchise quarterback to being called out by Sean McVay in late November for the first time. Less than two months later, he was gone.
Those questions may bother Goff, but he already has a new relationship, one where he's wanted. The Lions, whose front office is led by former Rams executives, are fired up to have Goff in the mix.
If Goff needed any motivation going into the 2021 NFL season, he now has it. And he will have the chance to prove he can without the Rams.

WWDIA / February 24, 2016 /	766
Keacy Carty, 18 year old , contributed his success in the U19 West Indies Cricket Team match against India to hard work and discipline. Although born in St Maarten, Keacy's father, who also played the role of coach for some time, is a well known Anguillian musician who performs under the name of Repeater.
It was the first major title for the West Indies at any level since Darren Sammy's senior team…
Carty has played for Anguilla, Leeward Islands Under-19s and has now lead the West Indies Under-19s team to victory, as Man of the Final, at the 2016 ICC Under19 Cricket World Cup in Bangladesh against India.
History of the West Indian Under-19 cricket team: Playing since 1974. Future international players to have represented the team include Brian Lara, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Courtney Walsh.
West Indies slipped to 77 for five in reply against the steady India attack before Keacy Carty (52 not out) and Paul (40 not out) put on 69 for the unfinished sixth wicket to steer their team home with three deliveries to spare.
It was the first major title for the West Indies at any level since Darren Sammy's senior team won the ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka in 2012.
— ICC Cricket Council
"The junior team has shown the Caribbean is brimming with talent and a pool of players who are ready to be honed and nurtured for the senior level. The team has also ensured that West Indies now have every ICC trophy in their cabinet." ESPN Sports Media
West Indies beat India by five wickets
India 145 all out, 45.1 overs (Sarfaraz Khan 51, Alzarri Joseph 3-39, Chemar Holder 1-20, Ryan John 3-38, Keemo Paul 2-17)
West Indies 146-5, 49.3 overs (Keacy Carty 52 not out, Keemo Paul 40 not out; Mayank Dagar 3-25)
Man of the final – Keacy Carty (West Indies)
Keacy Carty has a bright future ahead of him representing Anguilla, St Maarten and the wider West Indies as he aims for sixes and fours, taking his team into greatness!

On returning to St Maarten, Carty was given a hero's welcome at the the Princess Julianna Airport where locals and Government officials gathered to congratulate the Man of the Final for his outstanding performance and bringing his team to victory.
The recipient of adoration and appreciation from the government of St. Maarten and Anguilla as well as the island business community, Carty received over 50 thousand guilders and a scholarship for his achievement on the international stage.
We will continue to support and follow Carty as he continues to grow. We wish success to him in all he does going onward.

Dine with the fishes at world's largest all-glass underwater restaurant
Text by Karla Cripps, video by Channon Hodge, CNN • Updated 15th December 2017
(CNN) — A warning to travelers heading below sea level to dine at luxury Maldives resort Hurawalhi's 5.8 Undersea Restaurant.
Your manners will likely be left up on the surface -- along with your shoes.
Cutting off one's companion mid-sentence is almost a certainty as you rush to point out one of the remarkable sea creatures swimming by, whether it's a reef shark or -- if you're lucky -- an octopus.
You might even find yourself giving your dining partner the silent treatment, mesmerized by the marine life that have made the stunning coral reef their home, from colorful parrot fish to moray eels and tiny mantis shrimp.
Largest of its kind
Opened in late 2016, 5.8 Undersea Restaurant is the world's largest all-glass underwater restaurant. Its name comes from the depth at which the restaurant sits -- 5.8 meters (about 19 feet) below the surface.
This huge construction weighs 400 metric tonnes and is 90 square meters.
To access the restaurant, diners walk across a pier towards the resort's over-water Aquarium Restaurant and head down a separate path to a long, winding staircase.
Each of 5.8's 10 tables offers views of the outside action.
The coral landscape, which stretches around the edges of the tubular structure, draws all shapes and sizes of sea life right up to the glass, leaving you with the inescapable feeling that you're the one on display and the sea life are actually looking in at you.
Does the food match the scenery?
It's tempting to feel sorry for the chef tasked with creating a menu that competes with these views.
But during a recent visit by CNN Travel, German chef Bjoern van den Oever's dishes had us not just excited for what was swimming by the glass, but what would next appear on our plates during the seven-course dinner.
"it's a lot of pressure," admits van den Oever, who works with a team of six chefs.
"You have to keep up with the surroundings, you don't want people getting bored by the food. So we have to always keep the food exciting as well."

As a result, he says lot of people have underestimated the restaurant and come in with low expectations -- only to be blown away.
"We wanted to create something special," he says.
"More like where people can sit and have a whole theater of things going on. Not only the fish outside, but also on the plate. So everything was very inspired by the surroundings: the coral life, the fish. And there's a lot of small details where you can look on the coral and you get the reflection on your plate."
Courses include a mix of unique meat and seafood-based dishes that emphasize the flavors of the local and imported ingredients. For example, there's the "Diver Scallops," served with apricot and almond vinaigrette.
"We take one product and we try to make the best out of it," says the chef.
German chef Bjoern van den Oever oversees the menu at 5.8 Undersea Restaurant.
"So you have scallop in two ways: You have the seared scallop and then the scallop tartare. Which shows, basically, both the raw and the cooked scallop so we have a better experience eating the dish."
All courses -- sent down via a tiny elevator near the kitchen above -- are paired with a selection of top wines, selected by the resort's sommelier.
In addition to the seven-course dinner menu there's a four- or seven-course lunch. Diners from other resorts are welcome to visit -- provided they don't have kids in tow. Hurawalhi is an adults-only resort.
According to van den Oever, some diners even fly in just for lunch.
"I became a chef because I wanted to make people happy," he says. "And with a restaurant like this, it's very easy."
If you build it, the fish will come
The natural reef landscape framing 5.8 was created by Hurawalhi dive instructor Paige Bennett.
"Basically what I did is [find] dislodged coral blocks, which were not healthy," she says. "Then, I transported them to the restaurant in hopes that it would start to regain these coral animals that live inside."
In the beginning, it was an experiment, so she started out with small pieces. Then, after a couple of weeks, the corals regrew.
Aerial view of 5.8 Undersea Restaurant.
Knowing that certain fish live in symbiosis with certain corals, she chose the pieces that would attract specific fish, which would then attract other marine life.
"Once I saw that it was going to work then we started to take bigger blocks and create a natural reef landscape, something that would attract fish in a way that is representative of the Maldives.
"It's an actual living, thriving reef system and ecosystem, which will grow on its own."
Soneva Jani: Inside one of the Maldives' most luxurious resorts
Though the sheer breadth of sea life drawn to 5.8's corals is to be expected given the diversity of the Maldives' marine ecosystems, Bennett admits they were surprised by just how many species decided to move in.
"That's what makes it so rewarding now," she says.
But long before any coral was built came the most difficult task of all -- actually building the restaurant.
Manufactured in New Zealand, the restaurant's glass is 15 centimeters thick and was shipped in one entire piece then lowered down with a special crane -- a process that took two years in total. (Footage of the lowering can be viewed in in the above video.)
Though the chef says there are diners who visit 5.8 from other resorts, most are in-house guests of Hurawalhi.
Located in the Maldives' Lhaviyani Atoll, this five-star luxury resort was designed by Japanese architect Yuji Yamazaki, of YYA New York, and is owned by Crown & Champa Resorts.
Just a 40-minute seaplane flight from Male International Airport, it's made up of 90 spacious, contemporary villas. Sixty are over-the-water villas and 30 are on the beach. Some come with infinity pools.
The resort offers a variety of dining and drinking packages, from half-board to all-inclusive. In addition to the 5.8 Undersea Restaurant, there's the over-water Aquarium Restaurant and the beach-side buffet-style Canneli Restaurant. (The spread is vast yet of a high quality -- exactly what you want in a buffet.)
Hurawalhi offers a mix of over-water and beach villas.
Bars include the Coco Bar, located on the beach and open 24 hours. Aquarium Bar is over-water and offers indoor and outdoor seating. The small Champagne Pavilion, also over-water, sits at the end of the Ocean Villa jetty. It's the ultimate place for a sundowner. Bonus: Pods of dolphins regularly pass by.
In terms of activities, the resort offers a wide range of sports and excursions both on and off land, many of them free.
Gili Lankanfushi's Private Reserve: World's largest overwater villa
The dive center caters to beginner and experienced divers and can plan dives on either the resort's house reef or to some of the Lhaviyani Atoll's 50-some dive sites.
But, this being the Maldives, even the snorkeling is incredible.
Due to Hurawalhi's unique position in the atoll, the area attracts a huge array of marine life, such as manta rays, reef sharks and -- as we experienced first-hand with Bennett -- a group of massive sea turtles that regularly gathers to feed on sea grass.

Danniella Westbrook and her new boyfriend George Arnold are pictured on holiday together in Tenerife.
Ex EastEnder Danniella, 42, who is rumoured to be going into the Celebrity Big Brother house, has recently revealed that she is smitten with 23-year-old George, who is nearly half her age.
The loved up pair are spotted smooching on the beach at the Ritz Carlton Hotel on a New Year get-away and appear to only have eyes for each other.

Beyonce doesn't know how to do anything else but win. After dropping a surprise album that sold more than 600,00 copies in three days, Bey breaks another record. She is the first woman to have her first five albums claim the top spot on the charts.
Billboard Magazine has projected Beyonce to sell almost 700,000 copies of the surprise visual album in its first week of release. Although being number one is nothing new to Queen Bey. (I refuse to call her 'Yonce and you should too.) However, breaking this record puts Beyonce in the same group of women like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Janet Jackson. Whitney Houston is the first artist to have seven consecutive number one singles. Mariah Carey holds the title for having the most career number one singles. Janet Jackson is one of the most awarded artists in music history.
Beyonce is set to eclipse all of the aforementioned legends because Bey has only been a solo artist for ten years, which means she still has a lot of years left to shatter records left and right. With the shocking and innovative way she released her latest self-titled project, Beyonce will wind up holding every single record she so desires by the time she decides to step away from music.
And if you haven't already downloaded and listen to it five bazillion times, you can now purchase the physical copy of the visual album from Beyonce's website. It's supposed to be an exclusively digital project until next week, however, Beyonce is giving her fans access to the physical copies a little earlier than expected.
"Beyonce" is an album that contains 14 original songs with 17 videos. There's a video for each song plus four bonus songs that didn't make the album.
Watch Beyonce explain her thought process behind the album below.
