Oudendijk is een dorp en dijk in de gemeente Koggenland in de Nederlandse provincie Noord-Holland. Het dorp heeft  inwoners (), ligt halverwege Hoorn en Purmerend en maakt deel uit van de Westfriese Omringdijk.

Geschiedenis
Van 1812 tot 1 mei 1817 was Oudendijk onderdeel van de gemeente Beets, daarna was het tot 1 januari 1979 een zelfstandige gemeente. In 1979 fuseerde de gemeente met de gemeenten Avenhorn, Berkhout en Ursem tot de gemeente Wester-Koggenland, die zelf per 1 januari 2007 fuseerde tot gemeente Koggenland.

De dijkplaats komt in 1395 voor als oudendijc. Door de eeuwen heen werd het ook gespeld als Ouden-Dyck (1639) en Oudendyck (1745). De oorspronkelijke uitspraak is echter Altdìk en later ouwe(n)dìk.

Geografie
De dijk en de plaats liggen tussen de polders Beschoot en Beetskoog. Via de Slimdijk is het verbonden met het dorp Grosthuizen en de buurtschap Kathoek. En via de Zomerdijk, die langs de Beemsterringvaart loopt, met het dorp Beets. In het oosten loopt Oudendijk net als Beets over in het dorp Schardam. Het dorp wordt doorkruist door zowel de A7 als de N247.

De genoemde Beemsterringvaart loopt ook langs het dorp naar het Markermeer. Het dorp is ontstaan bij een dijk die erg oud was. De dijk behoorde bij de vele van west naar oost lopende dijken in de regio en is op een bepaald moment verhoogd om het noordelijk gelegen beter te beschermen. De andere in het zuiden gelegen dijken waren minder hoog. Deze dijken liggen en lagen in Edam-Volendam, wat tot 2016 Zeevang werd genoemd.

PGI status
The Cornish Pasty is pleased to announce that Tuesday 22nd February 2011 was an historic day in the history of the Cornish pasty: the European Commission granted it PGI - Protected Geographical Indicator status. This means that only pasties made in Cornwall from a traditional recipe can be called "Cornish" pasties. This has been a nine-year aim of the Cornish Pasty Association.
That this is a significant development can be seen from HERE - a search engine result for the terms <PGI status Cornish pasty>.
The Cornish Pasty Association has a web page that says exactly what a genuine Cornish pasty is, HERE, including the D-shape, with side-crimping, filled with chunky bits of beef or minced beef, turnip (this means swede in Cornwall), potato and onion, with a peppery seasoning. It also tells you how it should be glazed and baked.
Obviously, this is a little peculiar for some pasty-makers who use the top crimp - it is hard to say how these pasties, made traditionally in Cornwall cannot also be called Cornish, they are traditional from one pasty maker in St Ives, Pengenna Pasties, and on The Lizard, Ann Muller: Ann's Pasties, ".......... and you don't get much more "Cornish" than they!"
One aspect of this is that when you buy a "Cornish pasty" from an outlet on a railway station etc. anywhere in the country you can be certain it really is Cornish - not like the "Cornish pasty" I had in a pub in London's East End as a student that turned out to be full of baked beans!
Another aspect is that Devon can proudly market its own Devon pasties which can be every bit as good as Cornish pasties. They have a shared history beginning most probably with tin mining - and tin mining developed in streaming and open-cast works on Dartmoor before they started digging deep into the ground in Cornwall to win the tin. There are other good cooks in England who can also make good pasties, they just can't be marketed as being "Cornish" if they are not actually made in Cornwall.
The protected status means the pasty now has the same standing as Roquefort cheese, French Champagne, Jersey Royal potatoes and Newcastle Brown Ale.
From Wikipedia - Protected Geographical Status:
Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) are geographical indications, or more precisely regimes, within the Protected Geographical Status (PGS) framework[1] defined in European Union law to protect the names of regional foods. The law (enforced within the EU and being gradually expanded internationally via bilateral agreements of the EU with non-EU countries) ensures that only products genuinely originating in that region are allowed in commerce as such. The legislation came into force in 1992. The purpose of the law is to protect the reputation of the regional foods and eliminate the unfair competition and misleading of consumers by non-genuine products,[2] which may be of inferior quality or of different flavour.
These laws protect the names of wines, cheeses, hams, sausages, olives, beers, Balsamic vinegar and even regional breads, fruits, raw meats and vegetables.
Foods such as Gorgonzola, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Melton Mowbray pork pies, Asiago cheese, Camembert de Normandie and Champagne can only be labelled as such if they come from the designated region. To qualify as Roquefort, for example, cheese must be made from milk of a certain breed of sheep, and matured in the natural caves near the town of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon in the Aveyron region of France, where it is infected with the spores of a fungus (Penicillium roqueforti) that grows in these caves.[3]
This system is similar to Appellation systems throughout the world, such as the Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) used in France, the Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) used in Italy, the Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC) used in Portugal, and the Denominación de Origen (DO) system used in Spain. In many cases, the EU PDO/PGI system works parallel with the system used in the specified country, and in some cases is subordinated to the appellation system that was already instituted, particularly with wine, for example, and in France (in particular) with cheese, for example Maroilles (as most others) has both PDO (AOP in French) and AOC classifications, but generally only the AOC classification will be shown.
This is indeed an historic time that we can include in The Cornish Pasty & Pastypaedia.

Heath wowed the crowd on several occasions by swatting away four Panthers' shots. He also dominated the paint with 14 points, including two emphatic slams on rebounds.
"I get a lot of energy on the defensive side," Heath said, adding that is the key to the Stallions' transition game. "Momentum starts with defense, and I wanted to do everything that I could to give us momentum."
Indeed, the Stallions defense generated plenty of early momentum. Forcing a series of turnovers and defensive rebounds, South Pointe displayed a fast-paced, up-and-down attack for a 36-point explosion in the first quarter.
Leading by 30, 45-15 at the half, South Pointe cooled off in the third and allowed the Panthers to mount a run. Panthers guard Deebo Samuel got a three-point play on a layup and foul, and sank a 3-pointer on the next possession, cutting the deficit to 18 at 50-32.
Heath and Tyrice Brice scored four straight Stallions points, but the Panthers ended the quarter with a 6-0 run, highlighted by Jamare Lovett's reverse layup at the buzzer.
"We did not have a good third quarter," South Pointe coach Melvin Watson said. "But we started playing better defensively and began to push the tempo."
Heath began the fourth with a blocked shot. He immediately rushed down court and crashed the offensive board with a slam on a rebound.
Guard Zay-Zay Williams drove for a layup on the next possession, and Heath took an inside feed and scored while being fouled. Anthony Johnson then stole the Panthers inbound pass and banked in a layup to complete the 8-0 Stallions run and push the lead to 63-38 with 6 minutes, 13 seconds remaining.
"P.J. played real big for us. He was a man in the middle," Watson said. "When we needed a big basket, it seemed that he provided that for us. And when they managed to beat our guards off the dribble, he rotated over and got huge shot blocks."
The Stallions also got 15 points from Anthony Johnson and 10 from Jamil Simpson.
Samuel, who made two 3-pointers, paced the Panthers, who are led by former USC Spartanburg coach Jerry Waters.
South Pointe -- Jay Hart 2, Cody Blake 9, Zay-Zay Williams 6, Dillon Bruton 2, Gerald Nabritt 2, P.J. Heath 14, Tyreece Brice 18, Anthony Johnson 15, Joel Knox 2, Jamil Simpson 10, Isiah Rodney 2.
Chapman -- Shawn McMillan 6, D.J. Lynch 2, C.J. Thompson 4, Colton Ayers 4, Deebo Samuel 20, Jamare Lovett 6, Josh Henderson 2.
3-pointers -- South Pointe 5 (Brice 1, Simpson 2, Blake 1), Chapman 4 (McMillan 2, Samuel 2). Team fouls --South Pointe 10, Chapman 13. Fouled out -- none.
Records: Chapman 8-12; South Pointe 13-11.


Rafael Tejada - Welcome To Dickinson Track!
Welcome to the Jersey City Lady Rams Track Information page!
During the school year, the Lady Rams will be holding practices every day from Monday-Friday after school, starting at 3:45. New Runners are always welcome. You may pick up a physical in room 316. Meets will be held on Saturdays for the first few weeks. Runners on the team will all be listed on milesplit.com.
There are 3 seasons of Track and Field for you to join.
Fall: Cross Country: This season focuses on Long-Distance running. Runners will run in various environments to test their speed and endurance. Runners will run through trails, up and down hills, and through gravel and sand. Most races are on the Weekends.
Winter: Indoor Track: This season focuses on both speed and endurance. Runners primarily practive and compete in-doors and on a track. Most races are on weekdays. Some races finish late in the day.
Spring: Outdoor Track: This season focuses on Speed, Endurance, and Field Sports. Runners practive and and compete in outdoor tracks. Most races are on weekends. Some races finish late in the day.
Students who are involved in after-school activities are far more likely to graduate and succeed in high school than in-active students. The Dickinson High School track team doesn't just train athletes to run, but also holds those athletes to high academic standards. Many of the team leaders are also members of the National Honor Society. Our runners are also frequently found on the Honor Roll and High Honor Rolls.
Our many runners will serve as a great source of positve energy and resources to incoming student-athletes. New runners will meet plenty of students that have successfully completed their courses at the school and who will help instil the neccesary hard-work and self-discipline needed in order succeed on the track and in the classroom.
Our runners will be leaving practies and meets later on in the day. Many of our after-school programs finish later on in the day and students are usually safer leaving the school with other student-athletes. We also encourage parents to come to our meets and pick up their student-athletes after meets.


Nearly 5,000 Gwinnett middle school students now have a better idea of what it takes to pursue a successful career in dozens of fields. At the district's 4th annual Career Connections Exhibition on Nov. 16, some 160 exhibitors from across the career spectrum shared "show and tell" interviews and activities with the students. Representatives from businesses, organizations, and agencies around Gwinnett and the metro Atlanta area provided insight into the type of work they do and how they prepared for their careers.
The Career Connections event is designed to prepare our students for a smoother transition from high school to college and career. Participating students came from the 11 middle schools that feed into our seven College and Career Academy high schools: Berkmar, Central Gwinnett, Discovery, Lanier, Meadowcreek, Shiloh, and South Gwinnett.
This photo gallery captures some scenes from the day.


Two things in particular that are cool and go well together: Comic-Con and great art. With that in mind it makes complete sense that one of my favorite groups of people, the folks who run the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX, have put together a great collection of contemporary movie poster art and are bringing it to Cominc-Con next week.
As if that wasn't enough, Mondo is also working with The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Margaret Herrick Library to preserve the company's growing collection of original film posters designed by contemporary graphic artists. The first group of the Alamo Drafthouse's Mondo posters arriving at the Herrick will include the latest print, a poster for the classic horror film "Frankenstein" (1931), created by Drew Struzan.
You can take a look at past Mondo art (including the awesome They Live poster by Shepard Fairey above) by going to their website.
For those of you going to Comic-Con next week this is sure to be a must see. I know we'll be there.
Even though our minds are focused more on recovering from E3 and planning for San Diego Comic-Con, that doesn't mean we've forgotten one of our favorite film festivals. Fantastic Fest, the annual fete featuring genre films in Austin, TX is near and dear to our hearts so as we get info on it we will dutifully bring it to you.
This time around the fest has announced some early films and special guests that will be part of the fun from September 23-30. Among these new announcements are appearances by director Stuart Gordon and Reanimator star Jeffrey Combs as well as a spotlight on Norway and its crop of young filmmakers making horror and other genre fare such as Roar Uthaug and the acclaimed Cold Prey.
Click through for the full press release with all the detailed scoop. Stay tuned right here for all the news on Fantastic Fest as we get it.


The opportunity to unpack our bags, wash some clothes and cook for ourselves was irrestible. We thought we could even handle two weeks in one place.
A little research on our favourite accommodation site – agoda.com led us to a farm in southern Tuscany, about 25km SW of Sienna called Tenuta di Papena. It is a working farm with crops of grain and animal fodder. The family also have horses and compete in show jumping. They have the biggest horse float I have seen, which must be a challenge to drive on the narrow country roads around here.
They all work hard there, the family and farm hands start well before the tourists open their eyes and are still going as we sip out Chianti and Vernasse during dinner. Even with a genuine Siesta stop in the afternoon, it is a long day.
They have developed a lovely community of 6 apartments, built within the walls of what was a convent, and during our time there we met a great group of holiday makers with whom we shared our travel experiences and email addresses.
Bruce sneaked a packet of dog biscuits into the supermarket trolley, so the dogs visited each morning and evening for their special treats. Actually, they got bored with the biscuits but never ever rejected a good, strong pet.
We spent many days "at home" revelling in the comfort and warmth of our own accommodation. We took day trips to the local villages of Chuisdino and Monticiano and the abbey of St Galgano, as well as visiting the more touristy towns of Sienna and San Gimignano. We also walked both in and near the farm and in a nature reserve called Farma Torrente (Farma River). As Spring turns to Summer, the wild flowers were stunning, and I couldn't help include a few below.
We also started a project that we have been dreaming up in the last few months. It's aim is to provide a forum of information about how to escape home and travel (the world) for longer than the typical 6 weeks. We will start with our own experiences in preparing for our long journey, and hope to encourage others to contribute. We plan to launch our web site in late August, giving you enough time to prepare for a 2013 adventure. Of course it needs some design and some web site development, which kept us both busy in Tenuta di Papena.

Warriors Announce Front Office Promotions
September 20th 2016 at 9:57pm CST by Luke Adams
9:57pm: In addition to his promotion, Myers received a substantial pay increase and a contract extension, though the exact length and amount are currently unknown, Tim Kawakami of The Bay Area News Group reports (Twitter links).
3:59pm: The Warriors announced a handful of new titles for members of their front office today, with several executives receiving promotions. The most notable of the changes within Golden State's front office was a promotion for Bob Myers, who was named the team's president of basketball operations and general manager. Myers had previously just been the Warriors' GM.
In addition to giving Myers a new role, the team also elevated Travis Schlenk to VP of basketball operations/assistant GM, Kirk Lacob to VP of GSW Sports Ventures/assistant GM, and Larry Harris to assistant GM/director of player personnel.
Given the Warriors' success in recent years – winning a title in 2014/15 and setting the regular-season wins record in 2015/16 – it comes as no surprise that the franchise wanted to reward members of the front office. Myers, in particular, has been instrumental in building the most talented roster in the NBA.
Myers was hired by the Warriors as an assistant general manager in 2011, with the club drafting Klay Thompson in the first round of that year's draft just a couple months later. In 2012, Myers received a promotion to general manager — during his first offseason as Golden State's GM, Myers used a second-round pick to select Draymond Green and inked Stephen Curry to a four-year, $44MM extension.
The Warriors have a 238-90 (.726) regular-season record since Myers took over as the team's GM.

Interesting things are happening in my neighbourhood!
When I first moved into the apartment I am living in now, I was a little disappointed to see some abandoned lots in my block and the next block over. In both blocks small parks had been build but the majority of the space was closed to the public, abandoned and full of trash. One of these spaces is outside my window and I have plans of my own to claim and corner and do something, but the other space, which is much larger, is in the next block over. Well something is finally being done!
A neighbourhood group that has it's roots in Los Indignados has been pushing to do something with this space for a few years. Today was the inauguration of a new community space that is designed as a place for the people by the people. There is no one set plan for the space. It is more of a space that is open to suggestions.
The city has opened abandoned spaces like this one and others around the city for groups to use for different activities for the next three years. Although this currently is not seen as a permanent fixture it could change Barcelona in many ways and as far as I can tell only for the better!
PS – Just for fun all of these photos were taken with my phone.


A lot is on the line for both Shippensburg and Big Spring when the lights turn on at Veterans Stadium on Friday night.
Not only is it a Mid Penn Colonial Division rivalry game with the Little Brown Jug at stake, both teams are teetering on the District 3 Class AAA playoff edge.
"This is a big game every year, but maybe more so this year," Shippensburg coach Eric Foust said. "We've been very fortunate to win it a number of the last few contests, but this is really big because it could keep our playoff hopes alive. It would be huge to get our program back there."
After Week 7, Shippensburg was ranked 16th, while Big Spring sat in 17th place in the power rankings. Only the top 16 earn a berth in the postseason.
Both teams enter with the same 4-3 (1-2 MPC) record, and both teams have proven themselves competitive against top dogs in the division. The Bulldogs lost to third-place Greencastle just 29-23, while Shippensburg lost by just five points to Northern York, which is tied for first.
"(Big Spring) has some talented athletes," Foust said. "Their quarterback (Jaret Petty) does a nice job, and (Tristan) Robb is a big kid."
Petty and Ethan Lee have split time under center and have combined for just 409 passing yards, but Petty has been a workhorse on the ground. He has 300 yards on 59 carries, but the Bulldogs have spread out their talent. Robb leads the way with 337 yards on 55 carries, while Triston Cooper (237 yards), Ryan Adams (204) and Lee (124) have all been big contributors.
"Petty runs the ball pretty well," Foust said. "We've been focusing on the read-option, although I'm not sure it's as true a read as some. But when they can spread you out, their run game can be pretty effective. Coach (Cory) Hoffman has done a nice job, and they have a good system that they're running. They've gotta be hungry."
Big Spring isn't the only one with an effective offensive system, though.
Shippensburg's offense has been nothing short of well-rounded this season. Tyler Gustafson continues to be one of the top quarterbacks in the area and has amassed 1,199 yards. His top two targets are Cody Gustafson (39 catches, 619 yards) and Wade Mills (28-386).
"They both do really well, and they both have different pieces to them," Foust said. "Those are two receivers that you've gotta cover, and you kinda have to get to double-covering them at times. Right now, we're a very balanced football team. Are you going to take away Wade or Zion (Ware)? We also have Cole (Friese) and Adam (Houser), who gets a little better every week."
Ware is Franklin County's leading rusher with 650 yards.
Defensively, the Greyhounds are going to need to clamp down.
"Cameron (Tinner) needs to play well for sure," Foust said. "Also, Adam is playing defense now; every week his role increases. Anthony Keefer is our nose guard, and he's done some things well for us. He's really come around this year, so that's exciting to see."
Big Spring enters the game with some injury questions, as Petty did not finish last week's game against Red Land. Hoffman was not available for comment.
Game data: Big Spring Bulldogs at Shippensburg Greyhounds ... Friday, 7 p.m. at Veterans Stadium at Memorial Park ... Mid Penn Colonial Division game ... Battle for the Little Brown Jug.
Media: Follow @ShawnCMichael on Twitter for updates ... Webcast – www.sesportsnet.com ... Radio – WIOO (1480 AM, 93.9 FM).
Teams: Both teams enter with the same 4-3 (1-2 MPC) record ... Big Spring is coming off a 21-7 win over Red Land, while the Greyhounds suffered a 24-19 loss at the hands of Northern York in Week 7.
Series: Shippensburg leads the rivalry series, 36-22-1, and has won the last four years in a row.
P.O. pick: Ship by 3.

From Mother Nature Network:
Portugal's threatened rural landscape earns protective designation
Jaymi Heimbuch
The great bustard bird is a steppe species
Photo: Peter Gyure/Shutterstock
An area in the Baixo Alentejo region of southern Portugal has been deemed so unique that it must be preserved, thanks to UNESCO. Biosphere reserves are selected for their ability to balance the needs of people and nature.
The newly minted Castro Verde Biosphere Reserve is home to some 200 species of bird, including the great bustard or Otis tarda, (shown above) a charismatic steppe species with around 60 percent of its global population found in Portugal and Spain. The area is also home to the Iberian imperial eagle, a raptor species vulnerable to extinction.
But it isn't just birds that make this place special; it's also the people.
According to UNESCO, the reserve "encompasses the most important cereal steppe area in Portugal, one of the most threatened rural landscapes in the Mediterranean region. The population of about 7,200 habitants lives from the extensive production of cereals and livestock rearing."
The combination of being a special place for flora and fauna as well as an important agricultural region helped provide the area with the distinction of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
"Francisco Duarte, mayor of Castro Verde, explained that it is 'an important step by the image it conveys to the outside of the territory, but above all is a commitment by the responsibility we assume addition to present this application to help build a more sustainable planet, fairer and more balanced. We did not stop and we will continue to work for a better land ... with even more will and determination than yesterday'," Lidador Noticias reports.
UNESCO's latest addition of 23 reserves brings the number of biosphere reserves to 669, located across 120 countries, including 20 transboundary sites. The goal is to "harmonize conservation of biological and cultural diversity, and economic and social development, through partnerships between people and nature."
Unfortunately, along with the good news of the new additions around the world, the United States requested 17 of its Biosphere Reserves be removed from the list.

title: Pourquoi j'ai arrêté d'utiliser CSS
author: bloodyowl
oldSlug: css/stop-css
slug: pourquoi-j-ai-arrete-d-utiliser-css
---

CSS est un langage horriblement dangereux, parce qu'il mêle des concepts
complètement pétés et une folle capacité à faire confondre facilité et
simplicité aux gens qui l'utilisent.

## Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas ?

À l'origine, CSS a été conçu pour styler des documents, pas des applications. Du
coup lorsqu'on doit _scale_, c'est rapidement douloureux.

### Les sélecteurs

Les sélecteurs sont des **variables globales mutables**. Lorsque vous faites :

```css
.selector {
  font-size: 1rem;
}
```

C'est comme si en JavaScript vous faisiez :

```javascript
window.selector = (window.selector || []).concat({
  fontSize: "1rem",
});
```

Ça veut dire que :

- La définition d'un style associé à un sélecteur peut être redéfinie ailleurs
- Si on associe plusieurs styles à un sélecteur, les derniers définis dans le
  CSS auront toujours la priorité
- Quelqu'un peut péter les styles d'un composant pour peu qu'il ne sache pas
  qu'un sélecteur est utilisé ailleurs

### La spécificité

Alors ça, c'est particulièrement drôle : la spécificité d'un sélecteur va
définir la priorité d'application d'un style.

| Sélecteur        | Spécificité |
| ---------------- | ----------- |
| `*`              | 0,0,0,0     |
| `li`             | 0,0,0,1     |
| `li:first-line`  | 0,0,0,2     |
| `ul li`          | 0,0,0,2     |
| `ul ol+li`       | 0,0,0,3     |
| `h1 + *[rel=up]` | 0,0,1,1     |
| `ul ol li.red`   | 0,0,1,3     |
| `li.red.level`   | 0,0,2,1     |
| `#x34y`          | 0,1,0,0     |

Si le style est défini dans l'attribut `style`, la spécificité est de 1,0,0,0.
Si une valeur associée à une propriété est suffixée d'un `!important`, elle
prend quoi qu'il arrive l'ascendance.

Si on résume, on nage en plein délire, la priorité se définit dans l'ordre par :
la présence de `!important`, la façon de définir le style, la spécificité du
sélecteur utilisé puis par l'ordre de définition dans l'ensemble des CSS de la
page. Évidemment, à l'époque où on n'avait qu'une pauvre petite feuille de style
pour l'ensemble de son site, ça marchait ; plus maintenant.

### Les régressions

Prenons un exemple tout bête :

```css
.item {
  display: block;
  font-size: 1rem;
  color: blue;
}

.some-context .item {
  display: inline-block;
  color: red;
}
```

Quelqu'un de la team modifie `.item` :

```diff
 .item {
   display: block;
   font-size: 1rem;
   color: blue;
+  border: 1px solid red;
 }

 .some-context .item {
   display: inline-block;
   color: red;
}
```

Super, une regression dans `some-context`. Face à ça, deux possibilités :

- Vous vous foutez d'avoir des régressions qui pètent votre site
- À chaque changement minime du CSS vous vérifiez l'intégralité du site et
  testez tous les comportements dans tous les contextes.

### Le choix de priorisation des styles

Ce serait pas mal de décider quel `className` est appliqué en priorité :

```html
<div class="blue red">text</div>
<div class="red blue">text</div>
```

mais bien évidemment non, comme vu plus haut, c'est le foutu ordre de définition
des sélecteurs qui décide. Je vous laisse imaginer le bordel si on charge les
feuilles de style à la demande, selon les actions utilisateur.

```css
.blue {
  color: blue;
}
.red {
  color: red;
}
```

C'est pire si vous utilisez un préprocesseur tel que Sass et LESS. Lorsque vous
faites un :

```css
.blue {
  color: blue;
}

.red {
  color: red;
}

.my-selector {
  @extend .red;
  @extend .blue;
}
```

Vous imaginez que `.blue` étant appliqué après dans `.my-selector`, il va
prendre la priorité. EH BAH NON, c'est `.red`, parce que sa déclaration est
située après `.blue`.

Si ce constat peut aussi permettre à ceux et celles qui utilisent des CSS
atomiques d'arrêter immédiatement :

```css
.relative {
  position: relative;
}
.absolute {
  position: absolute;
}
.static {
  position: static;
}
```

Dans le cas précédent, si vous ajoutez une classe `relative` à un élement ayant
déjà la classe `static`, ça ne changera rien du tout, parce que `.static` est
défini après `.relative`. Génial, non ?

### Le futur de CSS

Les variables sont une feature qui a été très demandée à CSS. Mais cette feature
va débarquer avec son lot de souci :

```css
:root {
  --mainColor: blue;
}

body {
  color: var(--mainColor);
}
```

C'est super, mais si quelqu'un vient ajouter :

```css
:root {
  --mainColor: red;
}
```

quelque part, il y a deux cas :

- soit c'est chargé avant, et ça ne fait rien
- soit c'est chargé après, et ça override toutes les propriétés utilisant
  `--mainColor`. On est bien contents.

## Vous ne pouvez pas vous permettre de laisser tomber CSS ?

Dans ce cas, forcez vous à utiliser la
[méthodologie BEM](/fr/articles/css/bem/). Ça ne réglera pas tout, mais au moins
cela vous permettra d'éviter un maximum de conneries en vous forçant à découper
en composants isolés, et à mieux maîtriser la priorisation, puisque le scope
auquel vous devrez y veiller sera considérablement réduit :

```css
/* Header.css */
.Header {
}

.Header-nav {
}

/* Nav.css */
.Nav {
}

.Nav-item {
}

.Nav-item--active {
}
```

C'est quand même plus pratique à comprendre, non ?

Encore mieux, si vous avez du tooling à la webpack, vous pouvez utiliser les
[CSS modules](/fr/articles/css/modules/), qui limiteront de même le scope
d'application de vos feuilles de style.

## Vous pouvez vous permettre de laisser tomber CSS ?

JavaScript vous permet déjà de bénéficier d'un système de modules, de variables,
de conditions, de fonctions réutilisables, et tout ça sans hack. En plus de ça,
vous maitrisez la priorisation, parce c'est que c'est vous qui décidez ce qui
s'applique :

```javascript
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  render() {
    const { active, disabled } = this.props;
    return (
      <div
        style={{
          ...styles.myComponent,
          ...(active ? styles.active : null),
          ...(disabled && !active ? styles.disabled : null),
        }}
      >
        tadaa
      </div>
    );
  }
}

const styles = {
  myComponent: {
    fontSize: 18,
  },
  active: {
    textDecoration: "underline",
  },
  disabled: {
    opacity: 0.5,
  },
};
```

Par ailleurs, avec certaines bibliothèques permettant naturellement l'usage
d'inline-styles (comme React), cela vous donne la possibilité d'avoir le style
et le markup dans le même fichier, sans avoir besoin de naviguer entre les
onglets de votre éditeur (vous pouvez cependant séparer en plusieurs fichiers si
ça vous fait plaisir).

En résumé, utiliser JS pour définir et appliquer les styles vous permet de
prendre le contrôle sur le styling de vos composants, tout en apportant le
confort d'un langage offrant naturellement de nombreux avantages. Si vous êtes
bloqués avec CSS, partez sur les CSS modules ou la méthologie BEM selon vos
possibilités. Le but, c'est d'éliminer les
[7 maux de CSS](https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web/blob/master/website/guides/style.md).

Bisous bisous.

## Edit

Afin de répondre aux diverses incompréhensions et commentaires en réponse à
l'article, voilà un follow-up qui va tenter d'aller plus en profondeur dans la
critique de CSS.

Je vais donc répondre à
[l'article de Daniel Glazman](http://www.glazman.org/weblog/dotclear/index.php?post/2016/06/18/Pourquoi-il-n-aurait-pas-du-arrêter-d-utiliser-CSS),
ancien co-chairman du CSS Working Group.

Le premier point n'a rien à voir avec le sujet, mais l'auteur fait un parallèle
entre la réassignation dans JS et la mutabilité et absence de scope des
sélecteurs CSS. La comparaison n'a pas lieu d'être, parce que JS est un langage
de programmation. De plus, en JS, les variables ont une portée, et l'opérateur
`const` existe pour prévenir la réassignation. `</digression>`

Le grand problème de l'état actuel des sélecteurs CSS, c'est qu'ils n'offrent
naturellement aucune API (hors _Shadow DOM_) permettant de limiter le scope d'un
sélecteur sans augmenter sa spécificité. Si je veux ajouter des propriétés de
style à un élément comportant un certain sélecteur dans un certain contexte, je
suis obligé d'avoir connaissance de tous les sélecteurs correspondant
potentiellement à cet éléments, de vérifier leur spécificité, et possiblement
d'adapter le sélecteur simple que j'envisageais à l'origine pour pallier le
manque de spécificité. Super, ma codebase contient maintenant des sélecteurs
différents de leur sens original dans le simple but de les appliquer.

Lorsque je lis la réaction épidermique de l'auteur face à BEM, une méthodologie
ajoutant un namespace pour simuler ce scope côté utilisateur qui apporte un
minimum de sécurité lorsque l'on travaille sur un projet à grande échelle,
j'avoue un peu flipper quant à la conception des spécifications CSS.

BEM est une réponse de la communauté d'utilisateurs à plusieurs soucis qu'ils
ont rencontrés dans leurs utilisations variées de CSS. On dirait même dans sa
réponse qu'il n'a pas pris le temps de se renseigner sur la nature de la
méthodologie, qui ne consiste selon lui qu'à ajouter des indentations dont on se
fout parce que CSSOM les ignore. WTF.

Ignorer le feedback que constitue l'apparition de cette méthodologie et dénigrer
les utilisateurs pour qui elle règle des problèmes posés par le laxisme du
langage, ça ne fait pas avancer le langage, et ça ne donnera certainement pas
envie de retourner à CSS.

Concernant la spécificité des sélecteurs, évidemment qu'une quantité
astronomique de sites utilise les sélecteurs CSS, simplement parce qu'ils n'ont
pas eu d'alternative viable. Ça n'en fait pas une fonctionnalité bien conçue
pour autant.

Sur les régressions, l'idée à comprendre, c'est que l'absence de scope et de
namespace dans le langage peut créer des régressions potentiellement partout
dans un large site, parce qu'un sélecteur est global. Il n'y a pas moyen de
sécuriser un rayon d'action pour travailler, à moins de gérer le namespace
soi-même, dans le sélecteur.

Concernant le choix de priorisation des styles, c'est un fait que l'ordre de la
`DOMTokenList` n'a pas d'importance actuellement, et je ne fais que déplorer
qu'en utilisant des sélecteurs, le choix de l'application des styles ne puisse
pas se faire à l'endroit où l'élément est utilisé, avec la connaissance précise
de son contexte.

Sur le futur de CSS, le reproche que je dresse n'est pas comme ce qui est
interprété dans le post de l'auteur, disant que je râle parce que si l'on fait
un parallèle avec JS, on aurait :

```javascript
var a = 1;
var a = 2;
alert(a);
// alerts 2
```

C'est un comportement parfaitement attendu. Et ce n'est pas ce que j'ai dit, je
reproche à CSS de faire en sorte que, si l'on fait encore le parallèle :

```javascript
// coucou c'est CSS
var a = 1;
alert(a);
var a = 2;
// alerts 2
```

Sur ma proposition alternative, outre être _"une horreur non-maintenable,
verbeuse et error-prone"_, on va regarder ce que ça donne sur un cas plus simple
:

```javascript
import React, { Component } from "react";
// un système de modules analysable statiquement
import { mainBlue, mainRed } from "../utils/Colors";

export default props => {
  return (
    // on peut appliquer un style dont le rayon d'action est par définition
    // limité à l'élément sur lequel on le place
    <div style={styles.container}>
      {list.map((item, index) => (
        <div style={styles.item}>
          <span
            style={{
              ...styles.text,
              // appliquer un style conditionné par le contexte est très simple
              // et permet de prioriser à la définition du markup
              ...(index % 2 === 0 && styles.oddText),
            }}
          >
            {item.text}
          </span>
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
};

// la feuille de style est limitée au module
const styles = {
  container: {
    display: "flex",
    flexDirection: "row",
  },
  item: {
    flexBasis: 200,
  },
  text: {
    // peut utiliser des variables qui ne seront pas écrasées si j'en définis
    // une avec le même nom ailleurs dans l'app
    color: mainBlue,
  },
  oddText: {
    color: mainRed,
  },
};
```

C'est juste une application d'une approche centrée sur les composants.
L'important, c'est d'isoler ces composants pour les rendre facilement
réutilisables, prévenir les effets de bord, et passer moins de temps à essayer
de travailler avec des propriétés du langage qui nous gênent dans notre travail
de tous les jours. Réduire la liberté d'utilisation permet ici d'apporter des
propriétés (immutabilité des styles, application déterministe des styles, scope)
qui nous permettent de raisonner notre code de manière beaucoup plus simple.

Si l'on regarde du côté des CSS modules, qu'est-ce que ça fait exactement ? La
même chose. Le tooling va limiter le scope d'une feuille de style en rendant
opaques et globalement uniques les sélecteurs. Le CSS peut être utilisé en
target de compilation sans problème, et la plupart des solutions rendant son
utilisation confortable font une chose simple : contraindre à une utilisation
plus stricte en masquant des parties trop laxistes du langage. C'est ce que le
tooling JS a connu depuis quelques années, et on ne s'en porte que mieux.

Le dernier argument utilisé est que « si le monde entier a adopté CSS (y compris
le monde de l'édition qui vient pourtant de solutions assez radicalement
différentes du Web), c'est bien parce que c'est bien et que ça marche ».
Qu'est-ce qu'on peut répondre sinon que CSS a été adopté avant que les besoins
du web n'aient suffisamment évolué pour que CSS dans son état actuel ait un
énorme potentiel de fragilisation d'une codebase. Ne pas remettre en question le
langage parce que ses utilisateurs n'ont pas d'alternative, c'est condamner le
langage. C'est comme si la SNCF disait « BOARF ça sert à rien de faire arriver
les trains à l'heure, vu que tout le monde le prend déjà c'est que c'est nickel
». Du coup, faut pas venir s'étonner que certains de ces utilisateurs aillent
chercher des alternatives ailleurs.

En conclusion, je déplore vraiment l'absence d'intérêt apparent de l'auteur pour
écouter le feedback des utilisateurs sur les problèmes d'un langage. Il faut
regarder ailleurs, et ne pas ignorer ou mépriser ce que les utilisateurs font de
leur côté pour travailler plus sainement, ça pourrait même donner des idées pour
améliorer ce qui fait perdre du temps aux utilisateurs.

Farage's Eyes Power As Brexit Party Surges.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – In the heart of Britain's anti-Brexit capital, only Nigel Farage and his band of Brexit brothers and sisters could have organized a political rally so electric it began – at times – to resemble those of President Donald J. Trump's from the 2016 presidential campaign period.
Thousands descend on London's Kensington Olympia for the 'Rally for Democracy' which featured Brexit party chairman Richard Tice, former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, and special guest former President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Klaus.
Klaus, an historic figure in Eurosceptic circles, was the icing on the cake of an event otherwise made noteworthy by rip roaring speeches from Widdecombe and Farage, and a logistical and organizational feat scarcely ever seen in British politics before.
"He's the grandaddy of Euroscepticism," Farage told Human Events of Klaus after the rally, as staff and friends tucked into scotch eggs and gin and tonics at a West London pub – very Brexit.

Sir Evelyn Robert Adrian de Rothschild (London, 29. kolovoza 1931. – ?, 8. studenog 2022.) bio je britanski bankar, poduzetnik i filantrop iz britanske loze bogate židovske obitelji Rothschild. Godine 1989. imenovan je vitezom. Njegovo osobno bogatstvo procjenjuje se na 20 milijardi $.

Životopis

Rodio se kao jedini sin od troje djece u obitelji Anthonyja Gustava de Rothschilda (1887. – 1961.) i Yvonne Lydia Louise Cahen d'Anvers (1899. – 1977.). Dobio je ime po svom stricu Evelynu Achilleu koji je poginuo u akciji za vrijeme Prvog svjetskog rata 1917. godine. Za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata proveo je neko vrijeme u SAD-u. Poslije povratka u Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo, završio je školu Harrow u Londonu i koledž Trinity u Cambridgeu.

Godine 1957. zaposlio se u obiteljskoj banci N M Rothschild & Sons Ltd kako bi riješio pripravnički staž i uvježbao se bankarskom poslu. Dvije godine ranije, 1955., njegov otac je napustio predsjedničku funkciju koju je predao rođaku, barunu Victoru Rothschildu (1910. – 1990.). Poslije očeve smrti, Evelyn je postao partner u banci, da bi 1976. godine postao predsjednikom uprave. Godine 1982. postao je i predsjednikom Rothschilds Continuation Holdings AG, koordinirajuće firme koja je upravljala bankarskom grupacijom. Godine 1994. postao je dopredsjednik Rothschild Bank A.G. iz Zuricha.

Godine 2003. obavljeno je spajanje britanske i francuske bankarske kuće u jedinstvenu banku pod imenom Rothschild & Co. Nakon spajanja, funkciju predsjednika uprave preuzeo je David René de Rothschild iz francuske grane, dok je Evelyn postao neizvršni predsjednik podružnice N M Rothschild & Sons.

Bavio se brojnim drugim aktivnostima i primio je brojne počasti tijekom života. Bio je guverner Londonske škole za ekonomiju i političke znanosti, bio je predsjednik delegacije Medicinske škole Bolnica St. Mary (1977. – 1988.). Također, bio je član vijeća Kraljevske akademije dramskih umjetnosti, predsjednik The Economista (1972. – 1989.), predsjednik Udruge britanskih poslovnih banaka i osiguravajućih kuća (1985. – 1989.), direktor De Beersovih rudnika (1977. – 1994.) i direktor IBM United Kingdom Holdings Limited (1972. – 1995.). Primio je 1994. godine počasne diplome prvostupnika znanosti i prvostupnika ekonomije na koledžu Hull University i počasnu diplomu doktora znanosti Londonskog sveučilišta, 1999. godine.

Umro je 8. studenog 2022.

Privatni život

Dana 30. rujna 1966. godine oženio je Jeannette Ellen Dorothy Bishop (1940. – 1981.). Razveli su se 1971. godine. Drugi se put oženio 1. srpnja 1973. godine s Victorijom Lou Schott (r. 1949.), a brak je završio razvodom 2000. godine. S njom je imao troje djece:
 Jessica de Rothschild (r. 1974.)
 Anthony James de Rothschild (r. 1977.)
 David Mayer de Rothschild (r. 1978.)

U studenom 2000. godine oženio je Lynn Forester (r. 1954.).

Q: Is it possible to update something in the UI while performing synchronous calls or other operations? At several points in my project, I need to perform some synchronous web service calls or read from CoreData.  It may take a couple seconds to preform these operations, so I created a LoadingView class that is a subclass of UIView that has a simple message and a UIActivityIndicatorView.  For normal UIButtons, I just [myLoadingView setHidden:NO] on the Touch Down event, and [myLoadingView setHidden:YES] on the Touch Up Inside event.  This all works exactly how I want.
The problem is I cannot find out how to do this with the Return key on the keyboard.  From what I can tell, there is only 1 method that gets called when the user touches the Return key (the UITextFieldDelegate protocol textFieldShouldReturn:), and I need two methods to be able to get my [myLoadingView setHidden:NO] -> [myLoadingView setHidden:YES] technique to work, since Objective-C doesn't update the screen until the very end of the method, as opposed to continuously updating the screen like other languages.
How can I make my Loading screen show up as soon as the user touches the Return key, perform some operations, and they hide the Loading screen once the operations are done?

EDIT:
I've tried looking at using NSNotificationCenter, but I seem to be running into the same problem.  For example, if I have a UIButton Touch Up Inside method:
- (void) btnClick:(id) sender
{
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"Show Loading" object:nil];

    // Do stuff that takes a long time here

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"Hide Loading" object:nil];
}

Where in my LoadingView.m I have:
- (id) init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self)
    {
        // Do normal init stuff here

        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(showLoading) name:@"Show Loading" object:nil];
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(hideLoading) name:@"Hide Loading" object:nil];
    }
    return self;
}

- (void) showLoading
{
    // Do stuff to set up the loading screen

    [self setHidden:NO];
}

- (void) hideLoading
{
    [self setHidden:YES];
}

With it set up like this, when I click the button, I never see the loading screen.  When I post the notification, does it execute and change the screen right away?  If it does, I must be doing something wrong, maybe in my // Do stuff parts.  If it does not, I don't think NSNotificationCenter is going to help me any =(.

EDIT 2:
I set up a quick test project, and I confirmed that the notifications DO NOT update the screen right away.  The btnClick code I posted in my last EDIT behaves exactly the same as simply doing
- (void) btnClick:(id) sender
{
    [loadingView setHidden:NO];

    // Do stuff that takes a long time here

    [loadingView setHidden:YES];
}

So that confirms that nothing that relies on NSNotificationCenter is going to help me.
Really, it just looks like there isn't any support for changing the screen during a synchronous operation, which is really disappointing.  I'm out of ideas at this point.

A: You need a callback from whatever processes you're calling to let you know they've completed. When the callback fires, you can hide the loading screen.

A: You can ofcourse also use didEndOnExit event of textfield, that gets fired when you press the return key.
You can start showing the activity indicator view in this method and when the loading completes, you can use some callback(in case of web service- NSURLConnectionDataDelegate Protocol method: connectionDidFinishLoading) to hide the indicator view.

A: I ended up using Grand Central Dispatch to handle this.  The simplest way is to
- (void) doStuff
{
    // Show wait on start
    [myLoadingView setHidden:NO];

    dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_queue_create("com.myDomain.myApp",null);
    dispatch_async(queue, ^{
        // Code to execute
        {
            //... Do my time consuming stuff here ...
            // For testing purposes, I'm using
            int i = 0;
            while (i < 1000000000)
            {
                i++;
            }
        }
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            // Hide Wait Screen on End
            // ... also need to do any other UI stuff here ...
            [myLoadingView setHidden:YES];
        });
    });
}

Unfortunately for me, my actual time consuming stuff has some GUI changes in it (like showing alerts, preforming segues, changing labels, etc.).  Instead of rewriting the whole thing to try to pull all the GUI stuff out, I discovered that nesting it all in another dispatch_async, I can still get the waiting screen to show while the operations are performing, and all the other GUI stuff that is done in time consuming stuff will update when it's done (after the waiting screen disappears).
- (void) doStuff
{
    // Show wait on start
    [myLoadingView setHidden:NO];

    dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_queue_create("com.myDomain.myApp",null);
    dispatch_async(queue, ^{
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            // Double nesting the dispatches seems to allow me to do UI changes as part of 'Code to execute' below.
            // If I do not double nest like this, GUI behavior in "time consuming stuff" will be erratic
            dispatch_queue_t queue2 = dispatch_queue_create("com.myDomain.myApp",null);
            dispatch_async(queue2, ^{
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

                    // Code to execute
                    {
                        //... Do my time consuming stuff here - GUI changes will appear when all the code has finished running ...
                        // For testing purposes, I'm using
                        int i = 0;
                        while (i < 1000000000)
                        {
                            i++;
                        }
                    }

                    // Hide Wait Screen on End
                    [myLoadingView setHidden:YES];
                });
            });
        });
    });
}

Note that if doStuff needs to return a value, you'll probably need to change it up a little to use a "completion block", detailed in the accepted answer here.

Taiwan supports sanctions against Syria for chemical attacks: MOFA
Taipei, April 14 (CNA) The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) on Saturday condemned the Syrian government's chemical attacks on its civilians and voiced its support for global sanctions against such crimes.
Asked about the air strikes launched by the United States, the United Kingdom and France on Syria following its suspected use of chemical weapons on civilians, MOFA spokesman Andrew Lee (李憲章) said the Republic of China (Taiwan) has always respected and protected human rights and democracy.
Taiwan strongly opposes and condemns any government that uses chemical weapons and other weapons of mass destruction to hurt innocent people, and supports the international community's adoption of necessary sanctions, Lee said.
Several agreements are in place, including the Geneva Protocol and the Chemical Weapons Convention, that prohibit the use of chemical and biological weapons.
According to the ministry, Taiwan has provided Syria and Jordan 50 prefabricated houses and five new, fully-equipped mobile intensive care ambulances for refugees in the region displaced by the chaos from the ongoing civil war in Syria.
Taiwan is willing to continue to help promote stability and other humanitarian efforts in the area in the future, the ministry said.

"Sonic Sea" Wins Two Emmy Awards
Advocacy Groups' Film About the Devastating Effects of Ocean Noise Pollution on Marine Life Was Named Outstanding Nature Documentary
Shaine Meulmester, NRDC, 310-434-2307, smeulmester@nrdc.org
NEW YORK, NY – A film produced by an unusual partnership between two advocacy groups and a Hollywood creative studio won the Emmy awards for Outstanding Nature Documentary and Outstanding Music and Sound at the 38th Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards.
Sonic Sea, narrated by the Oscar-nominated actress Rachel McAdams, exposes the devastating impact of ocean noise pollution on whales and other marine life. The film, which premiered on Discovery Channel, was produced by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Imaginary Forces, in association with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).
"We made Sonic Sea to raise awareness and bring about change," said Daniel Hinerfeld, the film's co-director and co-producer, and founder of NRDC's film program. "The Emmy awards shine an even brighter light on this global problem and will advance our campaign to quiet the oceans."
NRDC and IFAW already have used Sonic Sea to help spur the release of NOAA's long-delayed ocean noise strategy, convince the Canadian government to commit to reduce shipping noise in key habitats, inspire General Electric to help develop an industry consortium to reduce shipping noise, and to strengthen the fight against seismic blasting off the mid-Atlantic and southeast coasts.
"A hundred years ago our oceans were filled with the sounds of whales and other marine life communicating," Joel Reynolds, NRDC's Western Director, said at Thursday's ceremony. "Today that communication is being drowned out by incredibly intense military and industrial noise, in a dark ocean world where hearing and being heard are essential to survival."
Sonic Sea features interviews with the Grammy Award-winning musician, human rights and environmental activist Sting, as well as the renowned ocean explorers and educators Dr. Sylvia Earle and Jean-Michel Cousteau, and marine mammal scientists Dr. Christopher Clark and Dr. Paul Spong.
The film has screened at hundreds of universities, museums, aquariums and cultural institutions around the world and has aired globally on Discovery. It is distributed by Ro*Co Films in the educational market.
"Sonic Sea is a film about sound," Hinerfeld said, accepting the Emmy award for Outstanding Music and Sound. "Our sound team at Sonic Magic plunged the audience beneath the waves, our wonderful composer, Heitor Pereira, played a duet with the ocean. Their artistry is helping raise awareness and change the world."

Sonic Sea was produced by NRDC and Imaginary Forces, in association with International Fund for Animal Welfare and Diamond Docs. It was directed and produced by Michelle Dougherty and Daniel Hinerfeld, written by Mark Monroe (The Cove, Racing Extinction), edited by Christopher Johnson and scored by the Grammy-winner, Heitor Pereira (Minions, It's Complicated). The director of photography was Stacy Toyama. The executive producers were Chip Houghton, Peter Frankfurt and Joel Reynolds; co-producers Lisa Whiteman and Franceska Bucci; associate producers Shawna Moos, Patrick R. Ramage, Dunja Vitolic and Kashina Kessler; consulting producers Michael Jasny, Tristan Bayer and Bronwyn Barkan. Google Oceans and SpaceQuest, Ltd provided data on global ship traffic used in several of the film's animations.

New York Times: Kushner offered advice to Saudi crown prince after journalist's death
Posted 6:52 PM, December 8, 2018, by CNN Wire
The President's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, continued to have private conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman following the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to The New York Times.
Kushner offered the de facto Saudi ruler advice "about how to weather the storm" following the death of Khashoggi, the Times reported on Saturday, citing a Saudi source familiar with the conversations.
Although White House protocol stipulated that National Security Council staff be present on all phone calls with foreign leaders, Kushner and bin Salman continued to chat informally after Khashoggi's death, the Times reported, citing two former senior American officials and two people briefed by the Saudis.
The White House did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment on the story.
A White House spokesman told the Times in a statement, "Jared has always meticulously followed protocols and guidelines regarding the relationship with MBS and all of the other foreign officials with whom he interacts," referring to the crown prince by his initials.
Senator Flake: 'I think there will be' enough Senate votes to stop a presidential veto of resolution to cut US support to the Saudis in Yemen
White House officials declined to explain those protocols and guidelines to the Times or to comment on Kushner's one-on-one communications with bin Salman since the killing of Mr. Khashoggi.
Kushner and national security adviser John Bolton had called bin Salman nearly a week after Khashoggi went missing from the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, and amid an investigation into the journalist's disappearance, CNN reported in October.
"They asked for more details and for the Saudi government to be transparent in the investigation process," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement at the time.
Initially claiming no involvement, the Saudis later admitted a team of rogue operatives had murdered Khashoggi inside the consulate. The CIA assessed in November that the crown prince had personally ordered the killing of the journalist.
The Saudi government has denied bin Salman's involvement.
Trump signals US won't punish Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing
Even after the CIA's assessment, Kushner emerged as bin Salman's most important defender, arguing that Trump needs to support the crown prince because the Saudis remain a key component to the Trump administration's Middle East policy, the Times reported, citing people familiar with the deliberations.
Trump and the State Department have maintained that the US government has not reached a final conclusion about who is responsible for Khashoggi's death.
CNN reported in October that Kushner operated behind the scenes to mitigate the fallout from Khashoggi's death and left public explanations to others, intentionally remaining in the background that week.
Sources told CNN that Kushner was quietly leveraging his close relationship with bin Salman throughout the fallout when asked and retreating to the sidelines when necessary.

Q: Website Self Destruct from Browser Bar IS there a file that I can upload onto my website (my website is a website that contains very very very sensitive information) that when navigated to in the browser (www.example.com/script.php) can be executed to delete all files from the folder it is uplaoded into/ I want to be able to delete this information easy as that. Kind of like a Self Destruct Button. MY website is used for testing sensitive equiptment commands for diamond blade cutters. We got almost the perfect cut for a diamond which makes ours very valuable. Our site was hacked and there was nothn gi could do in the backend because the password was changed on us so i want to put a secret file in there that does this.

A: i would not recommend that as a solution,
why don't you secure the script instead ?
anyway just for the fun of it here is a function that will delete a folder
function deleteAll($directory, $empty = false) {
    $t= time(); // you can also use it to delete old files by subtracting from this

    if(substr($directory,-1) == "/") {
        $directory = substr($directory,0,-1);
    }

    if(!file_exists($directory) || !is_dir($directory)) {
        return false;
    } elseif(!is_readable($directory)) {
        return false;
    } else {
        $directoryHandle = opendir($directory);

        while ($contents = readdir($directoryHandle)) {
            if($contents != '.' && $contents != '..') {
                if(filemtime($directory . "/" . $contents) < $t) {
                    $path = $directory . "/" . $contents;

                    if(is_dir($path)) {
                        @deleteAll($path);
                    } else {
                        @unlink($path);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        closedir($directoryHandle);
        if($empty == false) {
            if(!@rmdir($directory)) {
                return false;
            }
        }

        return true;
    }
}

(!) be careful when you use it it will DELETE everything you can call it like this deleteAll(".", true);
but this is not a solution look into securing your script


The Affordability Report is an in-depth annual research initiative produced by the Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI). The report is part of our ongoing efforts to understand why some countries have succeeded in making Internet access more affordable, accessible and universal, and what others can do to catch up quickly.
The 2015-16 Affordability Report, released in February 2016, looks at the policy frameworks in place across 51 developing and emerging countries to determine what is working to expand access to affordable broadband. This year's report looks particularly at how poverty and income inequality are masking the true state of affordability. What actions must policymakers take to overcome these barriers to access and make affordable, universal access a reality?

Mercy Health Proposes New $220 Million Comprehensive
Medical Center for Muskegon Following Transformational Planning Process
Mercy Health a national pioneer in applying "True North" process to improving patient care
Muskegon, Mich. (February 19, 2014) – Mercy Health Muskegon announced today that it is pursuing approval for a new $220 million medical center in Muskegon on the current Mercy Campus at 1500 E. Sherman. Initial plans presented in spring 2013 for a $96.7 million expansion and relocation of many acute care services to the Mercy Campus have expanded into a proposed new nine-story, state-of-the-art medical center to allow for greater efficiencies and better patient care.
The project requires review and approval from the local board of trustees, Michigan Department of Public Health's certificate of need (CON) commission and the CHE Trinity Health board (Mercy Health is a regional health ministry of Livonia, Mich.-based CHE Trinity Health). These reviews are expected to be complete by the fall of 2014.
The project will bring all Muskegon-area inpatient services together at a central location on the Mercy Campus and will offer single-occupancy inpatient rooms. Major changes from the plan announced last year include a greater focus on outpatient services and an entirely new state-of-the-art emergency department to optimize patient experience and patient flow.
"The time has come to take a big, transformational step to bring together the acute care services of our three Muskegon hospitals into one new medical center," said President Greg Loomis. "Over the past year, Mercy Health Muskegon has taken an extraordinary journey to thoughtfully plan and develop an exceptional facility that will serve not only Muskegon and the Lakeshore, but the entire region."
For the past eight months, Mercy Health leaders, staff and patients have been executing a planning and process excellence model called True North or Hoshin Kanri to envision a better future state for patients.
The proposed results of this effort include:
A New Medical Center: Construction of a new, nine-story inpatient tower and new emergency department on the southwest section of the existing Mercy Campus to accommodate all outpatient procedures, labor and delivery, pediatrics, surgery, medical/surgical admissions, and a new emergency department.
Extensive Mercy Campus Renovation: Rebuilding most of the existing Mercy Campus to accommodate diagnostics, universal care (a new model of acute care delivery), and inpatient rehab.
A Vibrant Outpatient Center at the Hackley Campus: Services at the Hackley Campus will include urgent care in the current emergency department and inpatient behavioral health, as well as the Hackley Professional medical office building which houses a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), physician offices, administrative space, diagnostics, and other support services.
Departure from the General Campus: The Mercy Health General Campus building will be sold, repurposed or demolished.
Mercy Health Muskegon is one of the first hospitals in the country to commit to the True North process at such a comprehensive level for strategic planning and management. With roots in the Lean quality philosophy well known in manufacturing and other industries, True North provides a method for creating comprehensive communication and flow between all staff, keeping everyone focused on meeting the needs of the patient.
"Our proposed new medical center will create a place where our community members, their children and grandchildren, will be able to come for remarkable health care for years to come. Through this process, we have recommitted to creating superior health care value as defined by our patients," said Loomis.
If approved, the new medical center completion date is estimated for 2018 or 2019.
Mercy Health is a multi-campus health care system dedicated to providing highly personalized care, excellent access to primary care providers and specialists and a more informed patient experience. Mercy Health serves West Michigan and the lakeshore with five hospital campuses, 58 physician offices, more than 1,300 medical staff physicians, more than 800 hospital beds and 7,200 associates, and hospice, home health and long term care service offerings.

Since Oklahoma is filled with urban areas, farmland, and rural settings, fire service professionals are in high-demand to protect the state's residents and property. The state employs many skilled professionals to educate the public on fire safety, fight and investigate fires, and respond to emergencies. Oklahoma is home to 726 fire stations across the state. Aspiring firefighters can start their career by pursuing education in the field at one of Oklahoma's colleges offering fire science programs.
The yearly earnings of firefighters in Oklahoma vary depending on experience, education, and type of department. Here's a quick glance at annual salaries for firefighters, fire inspectors and investigators, and forest fire prevention professionals in the state at the 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles.
While it is not mandatory for students to have a college degree to become an entry-level firefighter, it is highly recommended as many jobs today are being offered first to those who have higher degrees.
Students can pick between community colleges and four-year universities to get a fire science education in Oklahoma. At the certificate and associate level, students will be introduced to the basics of fire science. Some topics of study may include fire chemistry, firefighting tactics and techniques, and basics of hazardous materials handling, to name a few. Students enrolled in a four-year university will learn the basics, but also be exposed to the more in-depth areas of fire science. Those seeking to take on supervisory and managerial roles will benefit from earning a bachelor's degree, as many fire departments require higher education and experience for these positions. Some colleges in Oklahoma even offer PhD programs for those who want to conduct research and teach society the effects of fire and the way fire moves and consumes.
In addition to classwork toward a fire science degree, students interested in the firefighting field are expected to complete paramedic and EMT training. Many colleges in the state recommend that students go through this training as early as possible. EMT certification allows firefighters to respond to accidents and emergencies to prevent fire loss and injury as a result of a blaze.
Before becoming a firefighter, it's important for students to find the right college and program to suit their career goals. Narrow down your options with this list of Oklahoma colleges and universities that offer fire science degree programs.
With technology becoming more and more prevalent in our lives, online education has become the norm for many students, especially those with busy schedules and personal obligations to attend to. Current firefighters looking to advance their career and take on managerial, administrative, or supervisory roles can start by earning their bachelor's degree and taking classes online in one of Oklahoma's colleges!
How does distance learning work? Students are expected to watch lectures online (often in video format), and participate in class discussions with other peers and their instructors on the online classroom portal. Instructors can be easily reached via email for submitting assignments or asking questions for clarification on any topic covered in class. Since virtually everything takes place online, a reliable Internet connection is a must. Students with a drive to succeed, strong time management skills, and the ability to work well independently will thrive in an online learning environment.
General education and elective classes can be taken entirely online; however, some fire science classes may require students to meet in-person occasionally to complete hands-on projects designed to prepare students for firefighting. If not this, students may be encouraged to volunteer or intern for their local fire department to get a feel for what a day in the life of a firefighter looks like. Doing this will also allow students to network and work with professional firefighters and get a good idea of what will be expected of them when they graduate and are looking for work.


Make the LDC easier to understand and use.
Encourage a mix of uses in appropriate locations.
The update of the LDC is a complex project that will take approximately 24 months to complete. The work plan, shown below, is made up of five phases. There are opportunities for public input throughout the process.
Finalize the major policy and zoning issues that will form the basis for the next phase.
This is the phase when the text of the new LDC will be prepared. The new LDC will be written in three parts, or modules, and each draft module will be placed on this website for public comments and will also be presented to the public at open houses. The first module will be available for public review in the spring of 2018. Each module will also be presented to the Advisory and Technical Committees, and City Council and Planning Commission for review and comment.
In this phase, the three code modules will be combined into the draft LDC which will be placed on this website for public comments. The draft LDC will be presented to the Advisory and Technical Committees, City Council and Planning Commission, and to the public at an open house.
During this phase, the zoning map will be updated with any new zoning districts as well as modifications to existing zoning districts. The new zoning map will be on this website and the public will be able to view the differences between the existing and proposed zoning.
This is the final phase when the draft LDC and the updated zoning map are completed and presented to Planning Commission and City Council for review and approval.
October 11, 2018, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m., CCR room.

Brown and follows Barbara's journey from a pot-banging child of poor immigrant parents to a master percussionist and Ambassador of Peace.
The film tells the fascinating story of a woman and her love of drumming and music. Through her belief in their transformative power, she has developed the courage to become her unique self and to carry her passion for 'keeping the beat' into widening circles of communities throughout the world.
"I knew Barbara was a great drummer who had drawn from all the great drummers in the jazz tradition like Art Blakey and Max Roach, and that she could play anything on the drums, whether it's a trap set or hand drums. But I hadn't seen her put together a real rock and roll band with electric guitar, keyboards and electric bass. It surpassed what I had imagined when I heard she was planning to play rock and roll. I was blown away by this band, the bass playing, the guitar solos and the fact that everyone could sing – it was beautiful. That version of 'Sing Sing Sing' with the drum solo and Lotus joining her was fantastic! The show was a wonderful survey of music that literally embodied a life in rock and roll. It was thrilling! "
~ Derk Richardson, Music Critic, Host on KPFA
"Keeper of the Beat is exquisite on every level. Barbara's talent and joy swept me up in a wonderful musical experience that lifted my spirits sky-high."
~ Christopher Beaver, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker."
"This uplifting and entertaining movie does a wonderful job of capturing Barbara's warmth, talent and contagious spirit. It will not only be welcomed by an international music-loving audience, but also by all those who yearn for a more peaceful, harmonious and compassionate society."
~ Anna Halprin, Pioneering Dancer, Choreographer
"What a triumph!!! Keeper of the Beat is so joyous and moving….I loved the music and the personal and cultural history woven throughout. And the beauty of your journey…your own being shining forth with so much clarity and joy. And to see how your work continues to move out into the world, touching so many people with healing and inspiring new generations of girls to drum!"
~ Jennifer Berezan, Singer/Songwriter
