When I pull data from a source with Javascript I don't have an issue with single quotes, but when I go to save data and it has a single quote the ajax call fails.
I don't want to have to save this to the database: I'm happy!
I want to safely pass the string through with the single quote and preserving it in the database. What's the best method for this?
Just where is the problem occurring? From your description it sounds like it is with the database call on the server rather than the JavaScript/Ajax.
The best way to handle quotes in data with database calls is to keep the SQL and data separate using a prepare statement for the SQL and a bind statement for the data - then there is no issue with the data containing quotes.
The problem is happening when a string containing a single quote gets passed into the URL used for the AJAX call. The call fails when the status doesn't return 200. For example...
var ProductName = document.getElementById('ProductName').value; // Has a product name with a single quote for the value
// Function I created to make calls
ajax('mypage.asp?productname=' + ProductName);
If no single quotes are present then the call works as expected.
You could do:
var ProductName = document.getElementById('ProductName').replace(/'/g, "\\\\'");
ajax('mypage.asp?productname=' + ProductName);
but that feels hacky.
I would be tempted to use jQuery for AJAX functionality, as it abstracts a lot of the syntax away:
data{ "ProductName": ProductName},
If you're worried about including a whole library for this, you can just create a custom build
I ended up dealing with the single quotes by using prepared SQL statements instead of trying to escape them in Javascript, which is probably the best approach anyway. The scripts are on a secure network with no risk of SQL injections so I wasn't going to mess with doing a prepared statement but it's solving the quote issue so I'm happy.
I had suspected that the problem was the SQL rather than the JavaScript from the way you described the problem.
There are a number of reasons for using prepare statements. That they prevent injection is a side effect and not their purpose. That they keep the data separate from the SQL means that you don't need to use mysqli_real_escape_string to escape those characters that are valid in the data but which would otherwise break the sql - in this case the quote.

More than one-third of participants in the Ultimate Fighting Championship Fight Night held at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre ended the night in hospital.
Main card Australian fighters Mark Hunt, 39, and Dylan Andrews, 34, topped the long injury list coming out of Saturday's event.
Eight of the 22 competing fighters were taken to hospital, including two rushed by ambulance to St Andrew's Hospital.
Hunt, who battled Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva in the night's heavyweight drawcard, required surgery after suffering a broken hand and face during the bout.
He uploaded post-surgery images of his hand to his Facebook page on Monday with the caption: "The joys of being a modern day gladiator."
Fairfax Media has attempted to reach Hunt for comment.
Before more than 11,000 fans, New Zealand-born, Sydney-based Hunt fought five action-packed rounds with Silva in a punishing fight ruled a majority draw.
Silva was taken to hospital immediately after the fight as a precaution.
It was no surprise both Hunt and Silva required medical attention. The pair recorded a combined 184 strikes during their bout - the highest amount in UFC heavyweight history.
Gold Coast-based competitor Dylan "The Villain" Andrews suffered a dislocated shoulder during his fight against American Clint Hester and could not continue after the second, five minute round.
It has been reported on-site UFC doctors tried to put Andrews' shoulder back in place, but failed.
He was eventually taken to hospital where he was reportedly twice put under anaesthetic until a specialist was called in and was able to reset the joint.
But Hunt and Andrews were far from the only competitors requiring medical attention after the fight night.
American wrestler Ryan Bader, 30, was taken to hospital for a hand injury, while his 41-year-old opponent Anthony Perosh, from Sydney, was taken for a CT scan after copping a one-sided, three-round drubbing.
And American Pat Barry, 34, was taken to hospital be examined after being knocked out by 36-year-old Soa Palelei from Perth.
The fight night in Brisbane reignited debate about the merits of Mixed Martial Arts, with one newspaper columnist calling for the "barbaric savagery" to be banned in Australia.
The caged ring, known as the Octagon, is banned in Western Australia and Victoria.
However the sport's popularity appears to be growing, with the takings at the gate on Saturday topping $1.8 million.

Fault, Settlement, and Negligence Law
State tort laws that govern the apportionment of damages from accidents often bar potential plaintiffs who played even a minor causal role in the accident from recovering damages from other culpable parties. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that judges and juries fail to enforce the letter of the law, which leads to a weaker relationship between fault in an accident and recovery for injuries than the laws would predict. Data from insurance settlements arising out of auto accidents are consistent with the anecdotal evidence. This indicates that the letter of the law may be less important in shaping individuals' behavior than scholars have supposed.

Cruise Dining:
Cruise lines usually make you select your preferred time when you book.
Breakfast and lunch are served over several hours, and you can choose to eat buffet style or have your meal served in the dining room by the wait staff.
Dinner isn't as flexible, not if you intend to eat in the main dining room. Evening meals are always the most elaborate, requiring smooth coordination and prompt service so that your the dining experience is all it should be.
Dinner seatings are divided into early and late, or first and second seatings. The early seating is between can be as early as 5:15. Late seating may start or 7 or 8 p.m. depending on the size of the ship.
The hours that your ship will be docked in port should determine the seating you choose. Go over the itinerary carefully before making this decision.
For instance, if your ship stays in several ports until 6 or 7 p.m., you don't want the early seating. If the ship always departs by 5 p.m., then it really depends on how you want to spend your evenings.
What time is the evening show? Is it presenrted once or twice?
If you have children, they will probably influence your seating time, and it's likely to be the earlier one.
However, depending on your ship, you can forget this kind of scheduling and eat in the buffet dining room every evening at the hour that's most convenient to you. This also is a way to avoid the formal dress nights, should you choose to opt out.
Buffets often contain some items from the main dining room menus. Some cruise lines do a much better job in stocking their buffets.
Of course, there is always room service. Check the posted dinner menu outside the main dining room to select what you want, then call it in at the very start of the first or second seating for the most prompt service.
And don't forget to
tip, even just a little.

* Prices may differ from that shown
This is a brilliant laptop! I've had a range of laptops over the years, none have lasted me over a year, until now. I've had this Sony Vaio for almost 2 years with no problems.
Nice sleek style, very good feel and high quality finish. The panel above the keyboard is brushed aluminium.
This is definitely a multi-media laptop, it 15.4" TFT HD screen is brilliant for viewing HD videos and has the power to edit HD videos and pictures. The screen utilises Sony's X-Black LCD technology allowing the screen to reproduce vivid colours, 90% true colour.
It comes with a Blu-ray disc player, which, coupled with its HDMI output means it can be linked up to your full HD 1080p tv. The built in speakers are very good, I usually dislike laptop speakers but these are very good.
The only downside to this is the weight, 2.8kg. It is a little on the heavy side to be advertised as compact and portable. That is down to the user deciding what they are happy to carry around.
With it's powerful 2.2GHz processor, 2Gb of ram and the NVIDIA GeForce 8600m GS video card it puts some desktop computers to shame. It can handle some heavy CPU use programs with ease, e.g. photoshop, media players. It has no problem doing several things at once.
If you wish you can get 2Gb ram more for this laptop for a very little price. Be aware that if you are running Windows Vista 32-bit it will only recognise 3Gb of ram.
I would say this is a desktop replacement laptop. The battery life is surprisingly good for such a high spec machine, you could happily use it for just under 2 hours listening to music and doing some simple word processing. There is also a larger battery that can be bought to give even better battery life.
Just to give an idea of the level of games this machine will play, I tried to run Lost Planet and it ran quite slowly, so anything under the required specs would run perfectly on this laptop.

Going green is creating demand for carbon auditors
An increasing number of companies are looking for carbon auditors to calculate, manage and reduce carbon-emission levels.
Shan Lam Shan-shan of Carbon Care Asia, a Hong Kong-based carbon-management consultancy, says going green is creating demand for carbon auditors.
She says: "We have clients from all kinds of business, including banking and finance, hospitality, construction and [entertainment]. On the mainland, we work with many factories." Lam says that carbon auditors are usually employed by carbon-management consultancies and environmental engineering firms, while large organisations, such as airports and real estate management companies, also recruit professionals into their sustainability departments.
Carbon auditors assess the amount of carbon a company produces, and then recommend ways to minimise it. "We [may] advise clients to use LED lighting, which is more environmentally friendly, or modify the structure of the building," Lam says.
A carbon auditor requires a degree in environmental studies or an engineering discipline. They also need to attend a one-week training course (about HK$11,000) at the Energy Institute (Hong Kong Branch) and Certified Carbon Audit Professional and obtain a carbon auditing certificate.
A new carbon auditor performs site inspections, calculates carbon emissions and earns over HK$10,000.
After two or three years they can be promoted to carbon consultant, earning HK$20,000. Senior carbon consultants with more than 10 years of experience make more than HK$30,000.
Footprints to follow
- Attention to detail
- Good language and communication skills
- Can think out of the box
- Be prepared to work in a hostile environment during site inspections

RIDA wall decoration
I love this decoration. It's huge! 59" by 78" huge. It's semi-sheer and has two poles (one for the top and one for the bottom) and comes with hanging accessories. Perfect for a large room with white walls.
I saw this painting in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and couldnt take my eyes off of it. In person, his robes glissen white, and his stature is both alluring and impressive.Added 8 Years Ago from Orientalist-art

Police arrest Roseville bank robbery suspect
By Kevin Bunch
Posted December 3, 2013
A man was arrested and arraigned Dec. 3 for allegedly robbing a Fifth Third Bank on Gratiot Avenue and Maryland Street Dec. 2, and a Comerica Bank on Groesbeck Highway Nov. 29.
The Roseville Police Department arrested Daniel Stacy Galeener, formerly of West Branch, at the Eastland Motel in Eastpointe. A press release stated that detectives followed an acquaintance of his to the motel, and the detectives were able to surprise and arrest Galeener, 55, without incident. He was armed with a loaded handgun at the time, police said.
Galeener allegedly entered the Fifth Third Bank Dec. 2 and passed a note to the teller demanding money and stating that he had a gun. Galeener allegedly also showed tellers a blue steel revolver to ensure their compliance.
According to a police press release, investigators believe an anti-theft dye pack exploded with the stolen money in the parking lot, contaminating it, as the robber had left it behind. Police suspect that Galeener then robbed a FirstMerit Bank in Clinton Township, at Groesbeck and 15 Mile Road, at approximately 11:24 a.m. Clinton Township Police Capt. Richard Maierle said the robber got away with less than $1,000.
The Comerica Bank that was robbed Nov. 29 is in the 28000 block of Groesbeck, south of 12 Mile Road. No injuries were reported.
According to a press release from the Roseville Police Department, the robber allegedly entered the Comerica Bank around 11:30 a.m. before presenting a note to the bank teller. The robber, whom police believe was Galeener, displayed a handgun, and the teller complied with the demand for cash.
The robber then escaped with an unknown amount of cash, fleeing southbound in a dark gray Ford Fusion.
Deputy Chief Donald Glandon said the Roseville Police Department currently is investigating if the suspect is the same one who robbed a Flagstar Bank in Madison Heights Nov. 27.
"It hasn't been confirmed if it's the same guy or not, but it's possible," Glandon said. "We're still working on that."
Galeener faces two counts of armed robbery of a bank and felony firearm possession, following his arraignment in Roseville's 39th District Court. While felony firearm carries a two-year penalty, bank robbery carries a maximum of life in prison.
During the arraignment, Roseville Police Detective Lt. Raymond Blarek said Galeener has been homeless for the past few weeks and that his criminal history included two counts of operating while under the influence between 1996 and 2002, as well as a couple arrests in the 1970s.
"That sounds pretty accurate," Galeener said about Blarek's summarization.
Blarek said police believe Galeener was involved in six, possibly seven bank robberies in all, and more arraignments could be possible.
Galeener pleaded not guilty and requested a court-appointed attorney. He has a preliminary exam scheduled for Dec. 11.

Being Zorro, or even Puss in Boots, does not insulate an actor from tragic world events.
As a Spanish star based in Los Angeles, Antonio Banderas watched the aftermath of the Madrid bombings in horror on the overnight news.
"It was horrendous," he said yesterday. "I didn't sleep, obviously, that night and I started calling friends and family and everybody that I knew in Madrid just to see."
Despite working in Hollywood for more than a decade since making The Mambo Kings without speaking English - he learnt his lines phonetically - Banderas retains a sharp political perspective on events in his home country.
He strongly agrees with the new Spanish Government's decision to withdraw its troops from Iraq after the bombings.
"We immediately understood the link that existed between the bombing and the participation [in] the war of Iraq for the Spanish troops was crucial," he said, adding that he totally disagreed with the war.
Banderas admits to debating the withdrawal of Spanish troops with his American friends. "That is natural, and I think it's human. But we are not going to stop being friends. I am friends with my friends because of the things that put us together, not the things that separate us."
Banderas was on a brief visit to Sydney for the premiere of Shrek 2 at the State Theatre last night. He and the DreamWorks studio executive, Jeffrey Katzenberg, arrived from Mexico and flew out for Tokyo for other premieres.
Having played a swashbuckling assassin called Puss in Boots in the new Shrek, the actor once voted one of the 100 sexiest stars in film history hopes to have a role in the next two sequels.
And the cat is likely to have his own career path.
"There is a big possibility that the cat is going to have his own movie," Banderas said.
So successful is Shrek 2 in North America that Banderas is worried about raising the bar too high for himself when he starts shooting Zorro 2 next month.
With a charming Zorro-esque smile, he said: "I'm going to really have to push hard so that people don't say in the theatre, 'I like more the cat.' "

Intel Core i7-870 Processor
When it launched last year, the Core i7 platform redefined Intel's high-end processor segment. Unfortunately, the platform was also accompanied by high-end prices. As such, it has seen only a minimal share of the desktop market. However, Intel has released a new platform that it claims will bring the performance of Nehalem to mainstream price points. Referred to as Lynnfield, the new platform shares its core microarchitecture with the i7-900 series, but introduces a completely new chipset and socket design. This means that not only will we see new processors, but new motherboards as well. Benchmark Reviews has been testing several of these new items and will be covering the launch in detail over the next few days. In this article, we examine the Intel Core i7-870 Quad Core Processor model BX80605I7870.
Of the three processors launched this week under the Lynnfield platform, the Core i7-870 is considered the high-end part. All three chips are based on the same die, feature 8 MB of shared cache, and are packaged using the new LGA 1156 socket. They also feature a new version of Intel's Turbo Boost Technology that dynamically overclocks the individual processor cores depending on workload. At 2.93 GHz, though, the Core i7-870 boasts the highest clock speed of the three. As an i7-800 series model, it also features Hyper-Threading for a total of 8 threads. It should be a recipe for success, but we'll find out for certain in the benchmarking section.
With a launch-MSRP of $555 for the BX80605I7870 kit, one would hope that the i7-870 lives up to the hype. It's certainly a far cry from mainstream as Intel suggests. Compared to the i7-900 series, however, the i7-870 does have the advantage of using the new P55 chipset. Intel moved the bulk of the Northbridge functions to the processor and combined the rest with the Southbridge to deliver a single chip solution called Ibex Peak. The result should be considerably less expensive motherboards. Still, the processor itself carries a hefty price tag and consumers will want performance to match.

Brianna Freeman
Sport: Basketball
Class: Senior
Claim to fame: A three-year starter for the Lady Knights, the 6-foot Freeman has been an integral part of Harker Heights' offense since she was a sophomore. Freeman, who signed a letter of intent to play at the University of New Mexico on Nov. 15, suffered her right torn anterior cruciate ligament during the offseason and then re-tore it shortly before the start of the season.
First off, how is the knee?
"I'm three months out (from surgery), and I guess I can tell the difference now than when I initially started. It's getting stronger and I'm allowed to do a lot more than I did in the beginning. It's just a process."
You underwent two surgeries in a matter of six months. What happened?
"Bad luck. That's all I can call it, bad luck. (I was) trying to do too much too soon I guess, but that's just the type of person I am to work hard all the time."
Then what's this senior season been like for you relegated to the sideline?
"It's a lot of learning. Even over the summer I watched a lot of basketball, and I think it's only making me better. Even though I can't step out on the court, I see a lot of things I used to do when I was younger that I corrected over the year. I feel like it's only making me a better basketball player."
At this point have you completely written off playing this year?
"No. It's pretty much up to me. It just depends on how hard I work. Because as soon as the strength is 85 percent of the left (knee), then I'm pretty much good to go."
Where would you say you're at now?
"Between somewhere like 50-65 (percent). I'm just limited to the cutting and the jumping, and that's really what's stopping me right now and I don't want to push it."
How's it feel out there at practice right now?
"It feels good. I'm a little out of shape, but it feels good."
What can you actually do out there in practice?
"Run, and shoot. All the conditioning drills that involve shooting and running, I've been doing those."
What's been the most valuable lesson you've learned through this experience?
"Patience. Good things do come to those who wait."
As a competitor, what's it been like to sit and watch your team go through its ups and downs already this season?
"It's frustrating because it's like a step backwards — it's like how last year's group used to be when I was a freshman and a sophomore."
What do you do to help with some of their troubles?
"I talk to them on the bench, because I know as a coach, there's a lot going on at one time, so it's kind of hard to focus on the little things. So the things I do see that Coach (Shirretha) Nelson doesn't, I try to help (the players) correct them."
What's been your best advice for the girls trying to fill your absence in the post?
"I try to tell them to work hard. If it's not for themselves, then work for the person sitting next to you or work hard for me.
Because it's my senior year and I've gone from my freshman year and I kind of feel it's being handed to him and they haven't really worked for it.
Whereas I had to play behind people before I was ever successful.
"And they're in a position to be successful, and they're not reaping the benefits."
How much of what you're doing now working toward your future at New Mexico?
"All of it. I have to get better somehow. I have to get my strength back and I have to get my wind back. All of this is preparing me for then."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/7/2013 (1495 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A local restaurant owner and his family are being sued after an incident at the swimming pool at their Linden Woods home left a young man a paraplegic.
Karlow Elahiyoun is suing George Ifandis -- owner of George's Burger and Subs -- his wife, Elena and their adult son, Dimitri Ifandis.
In a statement of claim filed recently at the Court of Queen's Bench, Elahiyoun, 32, said he suffered catastrophic injuries during a pool party at the Ifandis' home two years ago, when a drunken guest jumped into the water and landed on his neck.
Elahiyoun said the party was hosted by the Ifandis' son, Dimitri, alleging Dimitri served his guests "straight shots of liquor."
Elahiyoun said he was in the shallow end of the Ifandis' pool early in the evening of July 10, 2011, when another guest jumped into the pool and landed on the back of his neck. Elahiyoun states he suffered "a complete burst fracture of C5 and C6 (vertebrae) sheared at the top, with compression of the anterior portion of the spinal cord."
The injuries left Elahiyoun paralyzed from the mid-chest level down.
Elahiyoun is asking the courts to award him unspecified general damages, damages for past and future income loss, past and future costs of care and special damages.
The allegations have not been proven in court. Statements of defence have not been filed.
Also named in the lawsuit is Sabha Badee, the guest who Elahiyoun alleges jumped on his neck at the pool party.
Elahiyoun alleges Dimitri Infandis spent the afternoon "funneling straight liquor or liquor mixed with other non-alcoholic liquids to his guests," including Badee, with the intent of getting them drunk.
Elahiyoun alleges George and Elena Ifandis were responsible to ensure guests at their home were safe from pool incidents such as the one that led to his injury, and that the couple was responsible to ensure their son Dimitri didn't deliberately set out to get his guests drunk.
The documents filed in court state that before the pool incident, Elahiyoun had been employed as a foster parent with New Directions, operated his own landscaping business and generated income from conducting socials and Christmas parties.
Joining Elahiyoun in the legal action is his sister, Elham Elahiyoun, a Brandon dentist, who alleges she has become primarily responsible for her brother's daily care following the incident. She alleges she has incurred, and will continue to incur, out-of-pocket expenses related to providing care for her brother and she has suffered emotional upset and strain.

Contained Places
Gotha is the fifth-largest city in Thuringia, Germany, located west of Erfurt and east of Eisenach with a population of 44,000. The city is the capital of the district of Gotha and was also a residence of the Ernestine Wettins from 1640 until the end of monarchy in Germany in 1918. The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha originating here spawned many European rulers, including the royal houses of England, Belgium, Portugal (until 1910) and Bulgaria (until 1946).
In the Middle Ages, Gotha was a rich trading town on the trade route Via Regia and between 1650 and 1850, Gotha saw a cultural heyday as a centre of sciences and arts, fostered by the dukes of Saxe-Gotha. The first duke, Ernest the Pious was famous for his wise rule. In the 18th century, the Almanach de Gotha was first published in the city. The cartographer Justus Perthes and the encyclopedist Joseph Meyer made Gotha a leading centre of German publishing around 1800. In the early 19th century, Gotha was a birthplace of the German insurance business. The SPD was founded in Gotha in 1875 by merging two predecessors. In that period, Gotha became an industrial core with companies like the Gothaer Waggonfabrik, a producer of trams and airplanes.
The main sights of Gotha are the early-modern Friedenstein Castle, one of the largest Renaissance/Baroque castles in Germany, the medieval city centre and the Gründerzeit buildings of 19th century commercial boom.
Gotha lies in the southern part of the Thuringian Basin in a flat and agricultural landscape.
Middle Ages
Gotha has existed at least since the 8th century, when it was mentioned in a document signed by Charlemagne as Villa Gotaha (Old High German gotaha meaning "good waters") in 775. The first settlement was probably located around today's Hersdorfplatz outside the north-eastern edge of the later city centre. During the 11th century, the nearby Ludowingians received the village and established the city in the late 12th century, as Gotha became their second most important city after Eisenach. The city generated wealth because it was conveniently located at the junction of two important long-distance trade routes: the Via Regia from Mainz and Frankfurt to Leipzig and Breslau and a north-south route from Mühlhausen over the Thuringian Forest to Franconia. One of the oldest pieces of evidence of busy trade in the city is the "Gotha cache of coins" with nearly 800 Bracteates, buried in 1185 in the central city. In 1180, Gotha was first mentioned as a city, when the area between Brühl and Jüdenstraße became the core of urban development, highlighting the early presence of Jews in this old trading town.
The parish church of this first urban settlement was St. Mary's Church (demolished in 1530) at Schlossberg. The castle (at the site occupied today by Friedenstein Castle) was first mentioned in 1217. As the Ludowingians died out in 1247, Gotha became part of the Wettins' territories, where it remained until 1918. The new town east of Querstraße was established in the early 15th century (with the Neumarkt, first mentioned in 1428).
The monastery (first Cistercians, since 1258 Augustinians) was founded before 1251 and abandoned in 1525. Until 1665, the bourse of Gotha was located in the centre of Hauptmarkt square inside the Renaissance building, which hosts the town hall today. The medieval town hall was located on the north-eastern edge of Hauptmarkt, at the site of today's Innungshalle.
Water supply was a big problem, because Gotha is not located on a river. In 1369, Landgrave Balthasar had the Leinakanal built. This channel, over 25 kilometres long, brought fresh water from the Thuringian Forest (Hörsel and Apfelstädt rivers) to the city. The main businesses of medieval Gotha were cloth-making and the woad trade.
Early modern period
The Reformation was introduced in Gotha in 1524 and the castle was rebuilt as a larger fortress between 1530 and 1541. Gotha was already part of the Ernestine Wettins territory after the 1485 Treaty of Leipzig. However, the Ernestines' loss of power after the Schmalkaldic War in 1547, the Treaty of Erfurt in 1572, when the city became part of Saxe-Coburg, and the Thirty Years' War resulted in Gotha's decline. The local castle, Grimmenstein, was razed by Imperial troops in 1572.[1]
The turnaround was brought about by the selection of Gotha as a ducal residence in the 1640 territorial partition, when Ernest the Pious founded the duchy of Saxe-Gotha. The strongly Protestant and absolutist sovereign quickly began to reorganize his small state (even before the war had ended) and in particular fostered the school system, for example by introducing compulsory education up to the age of 12 in 1642. This was the origin of the often noted liberal education of the Gotha citizenry and the following cultural heyday.
Veit Ludwig von Seckendorff was one of numerous experienced and loyal civil servants employed by the duke. Seckendorff was considered one of the most able and influential thinkers on administration and public law of his time. His book Der teutsche Fürstenstaat (1656), written by order of Ernest, served for decades as a standard work in teaching political science at Protestant universities in Germany.[1]
Friedenstein Castle was built between 1643 and 1654 and is one of the first large Baroque residence castles in Germany.[1] Between 1657 and 1676, the city received a stronger fortification, which was demolished between 1772 and 1811. In their place, a park around Friedenstein and a boulevard around the city were established. Some important scientific institutions were the ducal library (today's Forschungsbibliothek Gotha as part of the University of Erfurt), founded in 1650, the "coin cabinet" (1712), the "art and natural collection", basis of today's museums, and the Gotha Observatory at Seeberg mountain, established 1788. The Gotha porcelain manufactory (established in 1767) was famous around 1800 for their faiences.
In 1774, the actor group led by Conrad (or Konrad) Ekhof, called "the father of German acting", came from Weimar to Gotha. He began working at the Schlosstheater and became Direktor of the first ever German court theatre (founded in 1683), while acting in many plays himself. Having turned it into one of the leading theatres in Germany, after his death in 1778 the fame of the theatre declined rapidly.[1]
The Almanach de Gotha, a directory of European royalty and nobility, was first published in 1763 and Justus Perthes founded his science publishing company in 1785. Joseph Meyer followed in 1826 by founding the Bibliographisches Institut, one of the two leading encyclopedia publishers in the German language besides the Brockhaus and Adolf Stieler first published his Handatlas in Gotha in 1816. Johann Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the order of the Illuminati, died in Gotha in 1830.
Since 1815
From 1826 to 1918, Gotha along with Coburg was one of the two capitals of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Under the rule of Duke Ernest II, Gotha was a centre of Germany's liberal movement, where the Gothaer Nachparlament, an aftermath of 1848 German Revolution took place. After 1851, Gustav Freytag, novelist, advocate of German unity and often a harsh critic of Otto von Bismarck made Siebleben (today part of Gotha) his summer home. Ernest II made Freytag Hofrat (privy councillor) in 1854, when the Prussian government had issued a warrant for his arrest.[1]
In 1875, the German socialist party (SPD) was founded in Gotha through the merger of two organizations: the Social Democratic Workers' Party, led by August Bebel and Wilhelm Liebknecht, and the General German Workers' Association, founded by Ferdinand Lassalle. A compromise known as the Gotha Program was forged, although it was strongly criticized by Karl Marx for its reformist bias in his Critique of the Gotha Program.
From 1876 to 1908, the novelist Kurd Lasswitz, sometimes referred to as "the father of German science fiction" worked as a teacher at Gotha's Ernestinum, the oldest Gymnasium in Thuringia.[1]
Industrialization started in Gotha around 1850, as the city was connected to the Thuringian Railway in 1847. The city became a centre of engineering with companies like the Gothaer Waggonfabrik, a tram and airplane manufacturer, founded in 1883. During the 19th century, Gotha also became a centre of banking and the insurance business in Germany. Ernst-Wilhelm Arnoldi founded the first fire insurance in 1820, followed by the first life insurance in 1827. The Gothaer mutual insurance remains one of the largest insurance companies in Germany (it moved to Cologne after World War II). Gotha's tram network was established in 1894. The first crematory in Germany was built in Gotha in 1878.
The German Revolution of 1918–19 brought some trouble to the city. The dukes of Gotha abdicated in 1918 and the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD), a left-wing breakaway of the SPD was founded in Gotha in 1917 in opposition to the SPD's war policies during World War I. A far-left government was elected in Gotha in 1919 and worked against both the Weimar National Assembly and the Kapp-Lüttwitz Putsch in 1920 bringing the city to the edge of a civil war. Nevertheless, the state of Gotha joined the newly created Freistaat Thuringia in 1920.
Under Nazi rule, Gotha became a centre of the arms industry with nearly 7,000 forced labourers working in the city's factories, where more than 200 died. Furthermore, the Gotha barracks in the southern periphery were enlarged and the synagogue was destroyed during the Kristallnacht in 1938. Bombings in 1944/45 damaged some buildings in the city, in particular the theatre (ruin demolished in 1958) and the main station (which remains only "half-a-building" until today) and the main church (rebuilt after the war). Nevertheless, some 95% of the city's buildings survived the war unscathed.
The American Army reached the city in April 1945 but was replaced by the Soviets in July 1945 and in 1949 Gotha became part of the GDR. During this period, some historic inner-city quarters were replaced by Plattenbau buildings, especially west of the Hauptmarkt and at Gartenstraße north of the city centre. Many other buildings fell derelict during the later GDR period and the city's time of shrinking in the 1990s, whereas others were refurbished after German reunification in 1990. Gotha's economy was hit by the transition from state to market economy after 1990, nevertheless, some companies survived or were newly founded and have made Gotha an economically relatively successful city.

Lawsuit: IRS, OSHA, ATF, FBI probed tea party group
May 29 2013
NEW YORK – The scandal involving IRS discrimination against conservative groups is about to reach a new level of intensity.
A top Washington-based lawyer with expertise in IRS tax-exempt organizations has filed the first of several anticipated federal lawsuits against the IRS that will force the agency to hand over documents and answer questions under oath.
"We are going to require documents and testimony from all the IRS higher-ups and agents involved that we know were involved with reviewing the True the Vote application," attorney Cleta Mitchell explained to WND in an interview.
"We are going to find out through the process of discovery in this lawsuit exactly what the IRS was doing, who was doing it, why they were doing it," she said.

About 20 of these will be taken north to Salamanca and set free in the Campanarios de Azaba reserve as part of an attempt to repopulate the Spanish countryside with wildlife.
In recent years, with the decline in livestock farming and therefore fewer animals to eat down the pasture, Spain's natural mosaïc-like landscape is becoming rough at the edges.
Wild and free-roaming domestic fauna is necessary for conservation purposes, reveal representatives of the Rewilding Europe West Iberian programme, partly run by the Nature and Man Foundation.
Retuerta horses are generally a maximum of 16hh and typically grey or dark bay.
Their coarse appearance, poor conformation and intractable nature meant they were considered inferior species until very recently when their true value became recognised.
Unlike most native breeds of horses and ponies in the western world, there are no known cases of Retuertas being bred privately, and even if caught which is extremely difficult breaking them in for riding, driving or working the fields is usually nearly impossible due to their feisty character.

Spam filterEdit
In the Summary section of this article, there is a link to the Novel "Lifeline" that really should point to the VOY episode "Life Line". Unfortunately, the spam filter keeps me from making this correction (for some reason I don't understand). I don't know how the Memory Alpha spam filter works, but if there is anyone exempt from the filter that could make the correction?
--LinkTiger 22:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Well, best part is... we don't know how the spam filter works either, except to know that it's currently filtering the word "ar-ray". Stupid POS. :)
- I've fixed the link, but had to remove the word... "ar-ray" from the text. -- Sulfur 23:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Episodes were shorter? Edit
I think that starting with season 6, episodes were shortened by two minutes. On the DVDs for earlier seasons, an episode would end at or near the 45 minute mark (prior to the credits), but with this season (and I assume season 7 as well), the episodes end near the 43 minute mark. I wasn't sure this was worth mentioning, but it's pretty interesting. (→Zachary) 14:19, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Kate Mulgrew Convention Quotes Edit
I Don't know whether collective opinion considers it appropriate to include quotes from Kate Mulgrew on the Summary pages? Only time will tell. --Teestee 15:39, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

i forgot who said this but someone said something about sealing it into another or w/e well that doesnt make since because obviously they can but i dont see he doesnt seal it into them because somewhere in the anime/manga that if a tail demon is in a hosts body and there host dies they also die that is y kyuubi keep naruto alive so far and keeps giving him the strength to fight back and not die. so y didnt he put kyuubi into himself because rite after he would have died and so would kyuubi

Agreed, as I stated earlier this is not concrete evidence. But, from this symbollic picture (covers like these don't really mean anything but they're quite fun for speculation) we can see under each of the tails there is a round circle with a image on it. I am assuming (imho) those images would represent a person...or something to help in the sealing process. I mean just like it takes a few people to pull out a bijuu from a person (ex. Gaara and the akatsuki members) it might have taken a few members to put one in Naruto...anyway, it's all good fun speculation to think about

At best the kyuubi got close enough to Naruto for the 4th to seal it...

Argentina vows to end recession
Argentina's new economic chief Domingo Cavallo has pledged to get the country's finances back on track after 33 months of recession.
Mr Cavallo was sworn in as a cabinet member of President's Fernando de la Rua's government on Tuesday.
He replaces Ricardo Lopez Murphy and is Argentina's third economy minister in as many months.
The new minister, who is credited with combating hyper-inflation when he served as finance chief during the early 1990s, quickly rejected calls by some economists to abandon a currency peg linking the peso to the US dollar.
He introduced currency controls a decade ago to help bring down high levels of inflation and many are hoping he will work a similar miracle to pull Argentina out of its economic misery.
Economic misery
Unemployment in Argentina is near 15% and the country is saddled with a ballooning deficit.
The country is also one of the largest emerging-market sovereign borrowers and has $120bn in total foreign debt - close to 50% of its gross domestic product.
In October, Argentina suffered a financial crisis that lasted for months after investors became concerned that the country would not meet its debt obligations.
To ease the constraint on government financing in 2001, the International Monetary Fund agreed a $39.7bn bail-out package with Argentina last December.
But the country's continuing crisis has eroded any boost in optimism following the IMF deal.
Special powers
While Mr Cavallo was finance minister under Carlos Menem during 1991-96, Argentina's industrial growth rose as much as 9% annually.
He is now asking parliament for special powers to push through sweeping spending cuts and to allow Argentina to meet fiscal targets laid out by the IMF.
The former economy minister had only been in the job for two weeks after replacing Jose Luis Machinea in early March.
Mr Lopez Murphy's $8bn of public spending cuts over three years also prompted the resignation of three cabinet ministers - who opposed the programme - and sparked national protests.
The cuts have now been abandoned and will be superseded by Mr Cavallo's own plan, which will increase the cuts from $2bn to $3bn.
But instead of reducing spending on education, as Mr Lopez Murphy had proposed, Mr Cavallo plans to focus on the "struggle against bureaucracy".
The appointment of Mr Cavallo is popular with Wall Street and the IMF, but he will also need to win the support of the Argentinean public.
Many blame him for the country's high unemployment. When he ran against Mr de la Rua in the 1999 presidential elections, he only won 10% of the public vote.

Hermione's Hat - Long Version
This pattern is available for $5.50 USD buy it now
Inspired by the globe shaped purple hat Hermione wore in the second to last Harry Potter movie, this sand stitch hat is quite attractive whether for a Harry Potter fan or just someone looking for a great looking hat with a little more structure than the average hat. The hat appears to spiral around the head with little magical stars and then narrow like a stocking cap.

Sky Blue is a bridge too far for Melbourne Heart, the team who play in red and white, the one who play the final match of their brief and perhaps underwhelming history when they host Western Sydney Wanderers this weekend. A win is required to give the Heart any chance of avoiding the dreaded wooden spoon, a bullet they only managed to dodge on goal difference last season. Not exactly how you'd hope to sign off, is it?
Manchester City, who will effectively take charge of Melbourne's second team on Monday morning, may have kept a low profile since they bought the club for about $10million a couple of months ago, but expect them to hit the ground running. A change of name to Melbourne City seems a formality. Tick. A commitment to build a $20 million Centre of Excellence at Latrobe University is taking shape. Tick. The arrival of a marquee of similar stature to Alessandro Del Piero for next season is seemingly assured. Tick. There's plenty of feelgood about the change of ownership, and rightly so.
Then we get to the planned change of colours. Cross. BIG cross. The Manchester City emissaries who have been preparing the groundwork for the takeover would like us to think this is a small matter. Local media have been wined and dined. Some have even been flown to Manchester in an effort to smooth the way. I'd like to think the football media in this country is a bit more savvy that the Manchester City suits give them credit for. At least I hope so.
Manchester City, quite predictably, are agitating for Melbourne City to wear their colours. As it stands, Football Federation Australia has yet to give its approval. I'd expect Whitlam Square to hold firm. They have to if they truly believe in the autonomy of the A-League. Which, surely, they must.
It's not because we already have a club, Sydney FC, with a similar colour scheme. It's that while walking, and talking, like Manchester City might be OK, looking like them is not. If it wasn't a big deal, Manchester City wouldn't be pursuing it with such vigour. Like their other foreign purchase, New York City, they intend to build a global "brand" by making everything look the same. Which is exactly what the A-League cannot allow if we want Melbourne to sustain a second team. That's got to be our ambition, even if its not theirs.
As my good mate Andy Harper is fond of saying, we can't let the new club become a branch office of MCFC, or a suburb a Manchester. That's an insult to the A-League in particular, but also the football culture in this country generally. Our football community is more sophisticated, and educated, than it's often given credit for - especially by the British establishment. Manchester City would be wise to heed the lessons of Crystal Palace and Rangers, two other British clubs who tried - and failed abysmally - to consume Northern Spirit in the old NSL. Where are the Spirit now? Dead as a dodo.
There's a compromise, of course. How about keeping the red and adding the sky blue? Granted, it's not a common combination around the world. I can only find three clubs - Catania (Italy), Arsenal de Sarandi (Argentina) and CD Lugo (Spain) - who play in the same colour scheme, but doesn't that rarity give it cachet? It looks pretty good, I reckon.
The trouble is, the EPL is not given to compromise when it sets foot outside England. The English wonder why their 2018 World Cup bid didn't get off the ground. FIFA corruption was obviously part of it. But so was a general resentment among other nations about the EPL's thirst for world domination. Michel Platini, for instance, doesn't dislike England, it's the financial bullying of the EPL that irritates him.
That's why Manchester City's entry into the Australian market is so significant. The way these things work, it will have already alerted other EPL clubs to the possibilities. We could soon be facing a stampede from cashed-up EPL clubs wanting to buy cash-strapped A-League clubs. Don't rule it out.
So it's incumbent on the FFA - as guardians of our game - to set some firm rules in place. Foreign ownership (Brisbane Roar and Sydney FC are also owned by foreigners) is something the FFA hasn't really got to grips with yet, so there's the chance. Tell Manchester City they can't have sky blue. Full stop. And if that's a deal-breaker, then you'd have to question their intentions in the first place.

Learning Disabilities
The ARC provides a variety of services for students who have learning disabilities (LD). If you think you may have a learning disability, or if you already know you have one and would like to know more about our services, please contact our coordinator, Kristie Evans.
What is a learning disability (LD)?
A learning disability is a genetic or organic condition that creates a neurological deficit that impairs the central nervous system. A learning disability acts as a barrier to receiving, processing and/or expressing information.
Isn't LD just another label for low intelligence?
Not at all. In order to be classified as learning disabled, a person must have at least average intelligence. The LD student may process information slower than non-LD students, but with accommodations, she can perform at their level or better. This is not a question of a limited ability to achieve, but of a different means by which achievement can occur.
What is attention deficit disorder (ADD)?
ADD is a condition of the parts of the brain that filter stimuli. A person with ADD is unable to filter out or give appropriate priorities to the stimuli she receives. A person with ADD will find it difficult to focus and concentrate, and too many distractions will render this individual unable to perform high-level thought processes. A person with ADD sometimes also has a learning disability, but not always.
How do you get a learning disability?
You are either born with it or have some type of injury or illness that affects certain areas of the brain.
Can learning disabilities be remediated?
Until recently, the answer was unequivocally "No." Some research and practice suggests that, for some disabilities, a process called auditory integration training can change hearing and learning patterns.
How can you find out if you have a learning disability?
First, talk with the dean's office. They can help you determine if you should have LD testing. Sweet Briar has arranged for a specialist to work as a consultant and administer academic testing.
What is involved in LD testing?
The test includes an intelligence test and tests of verbal and quantitative skills. If a person has a markedly higher intelligence than her demonstrated skills and has difficulty in organizing or expressing information, she may have a learning disability.
What services are available for students with learning disabilities?
The ARC director is available to work with students, and the ARC can provide a specific tutor to work with a student who faces a particular learning challenge — please contact Kristie Evans (firstname.lastname@example.com) about this service. We also have software available to help with reading and writing. The Kurzweil text-to-speech software allows you to scan your texts (or drop them off a few days early to be scanned by a tutor) into a system that then reads the text aloud to you. The Dragon speech-to-text software allows you to speak your thoughts to the computer, which converts your spoken words into typed text.
Do my professors have to know I have a learning disability?
That information is confidential and cannot be released to anyone without your permission. However, it is generally in your best interest to give permission for your teachers to have information about your LD, as they are then required by law to provide certain accommodations.
Do LD students get special priviledges?
If you consider eyeglasses, contact lenses and hearing aids to be special privileges, then yes. If you understand that the accommodations given to LD students are analogous to the above aids to learning, then no. Accommodations simply put LD students on a level playing field with those who do not have learning disabilities.

The upcoming episode called 'The Wheaton Recurrence' will see Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and Batgirl in their worst state.
"The Big Bang Theory" releases a still from the upcoming April 12 episode which unmistakably will tickle out laughter as well as curiosity. The four nerds are in the comic book store, dressed in superheroes costume and crossing the gender.
Wolowitz is Batgirl, Sheldon is Wonder Woman, Leonard is Supergirl while Raj, who is the only one excited about the costume, is Catwoman. "I will say this. This is not the worst thing that happens to someone in this episode," executive producer Bill Prady told Entertainment Weekly.
In the episode, a fight between Leonard and Penny threatens their relationship. EW's Ausiello previously questioned Prady whether the couple will head to splitsville. The producer reminded that fans "shouldn't look at what happens in a single episode as definitive. The relationships between these characters - especially romantic relationships - are messy."
Also in the episode, Wil Wheaton will come back as himself and battles Sheldon in bowling.

Benton Park School is celebrating another successful year of A level results.
Co-headteachers Delia Martin and Steve Dixon said: "We are very pleased with the excellent A level results which have enabled more students than ever before to access their first choice university, including Oxford and Cambridge. These incredibly positive results represent the hard work of our students throughout their time at Benton Park Sixth Form. It is also an illustration of the hard work and commitment of the teaching staff and parents who have supported these students to enable them to perform so highly. We wish all our students success in their life after Benton Park School."

When we started our pre-holiday sort and declutter of the toys, Immy and I decided it was time for some new labels for the tubs in the toy room. I am a big fan of organizing kids toys into individual baskets or tubs of like items rather than putting everything in one big toy box as a process to help children learn to be more organised.
We gathered a few of each type of toys and set up a little photo shoot. Immy had fun styling the objects for each photo. When labelling toy tubs it helps to have both an image and the word of what should be in the tub so that pre-readers can be more independent in looking after their belongings. Once they photos were done, I cropped them and added text in Photoshop so they could be printed and laminated.
We thought you might find our toy tub labels too. If you would like to download and print your own set, you can find the cards set up as three A4 sized pages here. When printing you may need to select "Fit to printable area" and "Auto-Rotate and Centre" (or similar) depending upon your printer type and paper size.

Masking: Double
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Clinical Trial of Creatine in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|December 2002
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|May 2006
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder selectively affecting motor neurons, resulting in progressive weakness. Currently there is no known cure and a specific cause has not been identified. Creatine is a nutritional supplement that improves mitochondrial function and has been shown to protect motor neurons in animal models of ALS. Preliminary research indicates that creatine may also improve strength in patients with ALS. This study will determine the effect of creatine treatment on short-term muscle strength and long-term muscle deterioration in patients with ALS.
Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive either creatine or placebo. Participants will be enrolled in the study for 9 months. Quantitative muscle testing will be done weekly for the first 3 weeks; participants will then be followed monthly for the next 4 months and bimonthly for the remainder of the 9-month study. The study will also monitor purposeful exercise to determine if this enhances the benefit of creatine usage on muscle strength. Pulmonary function testing will accompany the muscle testing to determine if creatine strengthens respiratory muscles, thereby enhancing pulmonary function.

Buena gente, lugar sencillo pero acogedor
Vine de España por primera vez a UK a un lugar totalmente extraño y pequeño, mi avión llegó tarde y yo llegué más tarde aún al hotel.
Llamé por telëfono para avisar, ellos me esperaron, realmente llegué a pensar que me quedaría en la calle en un país extraño, lloviendo, con frío... Pero no, fueron realmente amables, ningún problema. La habitación individual no estaba mal, muy sencilla pero con todo lo necesario, incluyendo ketle y té. Baño reformado recientemente y todo limpio.

Luxurious it 'aint but its the best value around.
Second stay now and altogether better experience.
Ask for 2nd floor railway side to reduce the 'right-on-the-dual-carriageway' noise issue. Yes it is a bit tatty (the state of the shower sealant is always a good guide - nul points here!) but the owner has made efforts to provide everything you need, including hair drier, decent tv, free wi fi, teamaking). Parking opposite (NCP Bruton) is £3.00 for 24 hours, Bus station and rail station in immediate vicinity. Bar on ground floor for addicts. And not much more than half the price of Travelodge. Luxurious it 'aint, but when it comes to value in the city centre Its the best around.

great accommodation
The Station Hotel & Cafe Bar
Very noisy, no wifi or secure parking and had 2 check in with the bar staff in a noisy bar.
However, I liked the old fashioned way in which the hotel was maintained, it was just somewhere 2 put our heads down after a long journey and if done the job I just think it was a bit overpriced.

Tired and dated
Needs a lot of updating, room was basic but fairly tidy, just needs a makeover.

Audio Controls in ePub3

Digital Amanuensis
Posts: 723
Karma: 1440161
Join Date: Dec 2011
Location: Venice, Italy
Device: Several eReaders and tablets
I am wondering about the same issue, as I am working on a pet project involving an audio eBook.
Specifically, I would like to customize the audio player control bar (not necessarily on iBooks --- for example Readium or Calibre ebook-viewer now support the audio element as per EPUB 3 specs). The EPUB 3 specs do not seem to provide much meat, nor the "official" samples do.
The support is --- surprise, surprise --- spotty. When I change chapter in ebook-viewer, the audio track that has started playing stops. On iBooks, on the other hand, this does not happen. So, if I need to listen to a different track (from, say, Chapter 2), I need to go back and stop the track associated with the previous chapter (say, Chapter 1).
Does anyone have good pointers to solve/document these issues? Thanks in advance.
