The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Ford Focus was introduced in the 2000 model year and modestly restyled for the 2005 model year.
Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the left tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was low.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.
How this test is conducted
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that serious skull fracture and/or brain injuries, plus rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries would be likely in a crash of this severity. A fracture of the pelvis would also be possible, and loading to the shoulder was excessive.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures as well as a left femur fracture would be possible in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was hit by the intruding barrier, producing high head injury measures.
Passenger — The dummy's head was hit by the intruding barrier, as well as the window sill and window frame of the rear passenger door and the pillar behind the door. These impacts did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate.

Baton Rouge Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Subscribe to KidsScoop! The monthly family event and savings newsletter.
If you're looking for a perfect getaway that is family friendly but also great for couples look no further than Sandestin. Sandestin is located on the "Emerald Coast" of northwest Florida, just a stone's throw from Alabama.
Sandestin is a "resort community" rather than a single resort: with 2400 acres it's definitely huge, and has many options for accommodation. Much of the property looks residential not "hotelish" so you'll feel at home. You can actually get lost driving around pretty easily. There are more than 30 different lodgings options that are available at various price points, including suites with kitchens, and townhomes. We stayed in the condo community on Beachside 2.
Our 2 bedroom 2 bathroom beach-view condo had a full size kitchen with every utensil you'd have in your own kitchen, living room, dining room, 3 flat screen TVs, balcony with table and chairs, walk in closet in master bedroom, and stacking washer and dryer which was great to have before heading home.
◾7 Miles of white sand, on the beach side of this giant resort◾On the bay side – marina, sailing, fishing, kayaking◾Picture-perfect Village of Baytowne Wharf for shopping, dining, events and entertainment◾Four championship golf courses◾15 championship tennis courts◾19 swimming pools◾Miles of biking and walking trails◾30 charming neighborhoods on 2,400 acres◾Four golf courses, Junior Golf Academy◾Free tram to get around◾Complimentary use of bikes, canoes, kayaks, boogie boards, fitness center access, tennis court time, and other extras
You'll find two distinct sides of the property: the beach side on the Gulf of Mexico, and the bay side on the Choctawhatchee Bay. For getting around, bikes can be rented at several locations although we never found a single location to do so. Four hours per day are complimentary but you can pay to have more time with them. Also, free "on-call" trams run frequently: simply use a special phone unit to call a minibus.
The beach is amazing – truly. The shore is perfect for small kids, and it stretches on and on. Beach chairs can be rented (classy, but very pricey), but plenty of people bring their own gear. Boogie-boards and kayaks are complimentary for guests.
Sandestin is its own little world — with shopping, charter fishing, spas, salons, tennis, water sports, golf, and special events—so it's no wonder newlyweds, conventioneers, and families all find something to do so you never actually have to leave the resort at all.
The "Bay side" includes the Grand Sandestin, the Conference Center, and Baytowne Wharf. If you're in the mood for fun, shopping, and eating – Baytowne Wharf is where you want to be. More information about Baytowne Wharf can be found here (at a later time) but for now I'll tell you that my kids had a great time and never wanted to leave!
All in all we had a great visit to Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort and I would highly recommend a stay at this resort. Because everything is so spread out the community is extremely quiet which makes for the perfect vacation getaway.

The Padres are trying to win games now.
With the 25 players they have.
The players currently in the clubhouse will concern themselves with Yasmani Grandal when (if) he becomes one of them on May 28.
But that day will be here soon, and its approach merits a conversation about the fact this is not Mark McGwire's Major League Baseball.
The game remains tainted, but its talent is less tolerant. Its principals are increasingly principled.
"Overwhelmingly, the majority of guys are tired of seeing this in our sport," Chase Headley said. "It's a black eye. We want it out of the game."
Steroids when I covered the game on a daily basis in the late 1990s were illegal in the United States but not in MLB. Their use, in fact, was implicitly encouraged.
Owners, managers and players, whether users or not, whether aware or ignorant, got a lot richer after McGwire and Sammy Sosa saved the game with their juiced-up home run chase in 1998.
"You can argue, for sure," 17-year veteran Mark Kotsay said, "that every player benefited from the success of the game and how quickly it grew."
Let's not forget that inconvenient truth.
Now, though, there are rules and penalties in place for those who break them.
Pious Hall of Fame voters notwithstanding, we can't apply retroactive morality. What we can do is observe the culture around the game at present.
I actually flew across the country on Tuesday primarily to confirm I hadn't been wrong about Nick Hundley -- and to see if he wanted to further a larger discussion.
The Padres backstop, it turns out, does indeed have a backbone. He just has no interest in being a spokesman.
At the end of a conversation last week, Hundley had affirmed my contention that the thinking inside major league clubhouses has changed over the past decade regarding players who use steroids.
"We're sick of it," Hundley said emphatically.
On Tuesday, prior to the Padres stopping a losing streak at three games with a 3-2 victory over the Orioles, Hundley declined to expand on that statement.
Perhaps he was wise to clam up, given the backlash from comments he made last week that he was concerned with his own work but that I could focus if I wanted on "a guy who is unproven and had a good couple months on steroids."
Hundley on Tuesday affirmed the accuracy of his quote about Grandal as it appeared in my column from last Wednesday. He explained, at my request, his subsequent sidestep, saying is issue was more with the outside perception of the quote rather than the presentation thereof.
He did say he was surprised that one portion of our conversation made it to the top of my column. I spared him a lesson on not burying the lead but stood by the way I painted him and his comments.
It's a shame Hundley didn't want to talk more about cheaters in baseball. Perhaps his questioning the value of teammate's performance was crossing the line, but talking about steroids was certainly not something to feel badly about.
He has talked to Grandal. When (if) Grandal returns from his 50-game suspension for testing positive for excessive testosterone, they will be teammates. Hundley did not want to talk about any of that Tuesday.
But sport has a long history of teams welcoming back players with dubious deeds on their record if that player can help the team win. The same can be said of fans' reaction.
The veterans I spoke with Tuesday concurred that Grandal's route to redemption is staying clean, working hard and helping the team win.
"His teammates, we just want him to contribute to the team," Kotsay said.
Padres players had all of spring training to express their disappointment in Grandal, who after batting .297 with eight home runs and 36 RBI in 60 games his rookie season was supposed to be a part of their offensive core from the start of 2013.
"I told him, 'I don't agree with what you did, but you're going to pay your penalty, and that's enough for me,' " Headley said. "He won't hear another thing about it from me."
That's how it should be. Second chances are as American as baseball itself.
But cheating is still cheating. At least it appears to be so now in baseball.

Google Now Could Steal Siri's Voice on iOS
Apr 30, 2013 5:00 AM PT
In yet another challenge to Apple on the mobile front, Google has made its Google Now intelligent personal assistant available for iOS devices.
Google Now is part of the Google Search application. It recognizes repeated actions that a consumer performs on a device to learn about usage patterns. The app displays more relevant information as cards that can be swiped on and off the screen.
The feature's debut on iOS could pose a threat to Apple's Siri digital assistant because Google Now seems to offer more functionality.
"Google Now takes a search-focused speech recognition program and shifts it towards a more digital assistant-style use case," Michael Morgan, a senior analyst at ABI Research, told MacNewsWorld. "Siri was designed to be a digital assistant from the ground up and often fails on some basic questions that are outside of its focused design."
On the other hand, "Apple users are pretty loyal to Apple and thus aren't all that fond of Google," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.
Google did not respond to our request for further details.
Google Now on iOS
Google Now displays information pulled from the user's Gmail account. That includes flight information, package tracking, hotel and restaurant reservations, and financial market news. This information is served up in cards with labels that include Flights, Hotels, Events, Movies, Stocks and News.
Google Now leverages Knowledge Graph, a semantic search database.
The look and feel of the app is almost identical on both Android and iOS, according to published reports. However, iOS displays fewer cards, the app can't be launched on iOS with a systemwide shortcut, and it can't do the same kind of background sync on iOS that it can on Android.
Google Now also won't use iOS's notification system to push high-priority Now alerts. The app does that for the Android operating system.
Google Now for iOS is placed at the bottom of the screen, and users need to swipe up to see the cards.
With Google Now, "More information is used to predict what the user really wants to know about," ABI's Morgan said. "Additionally, it appears that the Google speech recognition is demonstrating faster response and higher accuracy than Siri."
However, the full extent of Google Now's capabilities "will likely always be limited on iOS," he added. For example, it's possible to ask Google Now on an Android device to give directions to a specific location and have the response pushed to turn-by-turn navigation from Google Maps.
Now You See It, Now You Don't
The appearance of Google Now for iOS should come as no surprise. A promotional video leaked on the Web in March. Also, Google chairman Eric Schmidt reportedly hinted during an interview on his visit to India in March that the app might have been submitted to Apple for review, although both companies later issued denials.
Offering Google Now on iOS "won't make Apple any happier with Google," Enderle told MacNewsWorld.
The advent of Google Now on iOS "does provide an opportunity for Google to steal users and mine them for ad revenue. Once used to a Google service, Apple users could be slowly weaned to migrate to a Google platform phone."
This is not a certainty because "Google has never shown the patience or tenacity to pull something like this off," Enderle said. However, "there are staff changes all the time and Google could be serious this time."
As iOS may limit the ability of Google Now to set appointments and start up navigation applications, "Now's digital assistant capabilities are rather limited on iOS devices," ABI's Morgan said.
Still, "Apple under Jobs could lock out vendors, under [Tim] Cook they haven't been as heavy handed," Enderle contended. "So they can but I doubt they will."
Apple did not respond to our request to comment for this story.

Apple Keyboard
More Information
For background information see this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard
tee like so
$ echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout
Function keys do not work
If your
F<num> keys do not work, this is probably because the kernel driver for the keyboard has defaulted to using the media keys and requiring you to use the
Fn key to get to the
F<num> keys. To change this behaviour, you have to change the driver setting. Do the following as root:
# echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
If it tells you that the file doesn't exist, you probably have an older kernel and will have to do the following instead:
# echo 2 > /sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode
Place whatever option worked for you in
/etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf to make the setting permanent.
If the above doesn't work for your wireless keyboard
hid_apple/parameters and/or
hid/parameters/pb_fnmode is missing in a recent Apple Bluetooth keyboard model and kernel 3.4.
First thing: identify your keyboard. Execute as root (
hidd is part of package bluez from the official repositories):
# hidd --show
You should see something like:
40:CA:EC:32:85:AB Apple Wireless Keyboard [05ac:0255] connected
So with the vendor (05ac) and device (0255) ID it's easier to find out if the current kernel has support for it.
Actually, the above device is listed in the linux kernel 3.4. If you check
drivers/hid/hid-ids.h you should see the following line:
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_APPLE_ALU_WIRELESS_2011_ANSI 0x0255
But support for the Function Key is missing.
In order to fix it rebuild your kernel from abs with the following patch: http://pastebin.com/CvFJz3Fn
This bug is already reported upstream https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43135 and part of the vanilla kernel since 3.5
< and > have changed place with § and ½
If the < and > are switched with the § and ½ keys, run the following command in your graphical environment:
$ setxkbmap -option apple:badmap
Place that command into
~/.bashrc file to have it run automatically when you log in.
You can also apply the change system-wide by creating (or editing)
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keymap.conf as such:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "keyboard catchall" MatchIsKeyboard "true" Driver "evdev" Option "XkbOptions" "apple:badmap" EndSection
If the above approach doesn't seem to work, you can add these two lines to your
~/.Xmodmap file:
keycode 49 = less greater less greater bar brokenbar keycode 94 = section degree section degree notsign notsign
If you use a Canadian multilingual layout (where the "ù" and the "/" is switch) use this :
keycode 94 = slash backslash slash backslash bar brokenbar keycode 49 = ugrave Ugrave ugrave Ugrave notsign notsign
Then run
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap. This command can also go into
< and > have changed place with ^ and °
With German layout, circumflex/degree symbol and 'smaller than'/'bigger than' are exchanged.
The new way:
First, try if the new method works for you (you have to be root)
# echo 0 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout
To make the changes permanent add the following line to
options hid_apple iso_layout=0
To fix this the old way, do the following:
$ xmodmap -e 'keycode 49 = less greater less greater bar brokenbar bar' -e 'keycode 94 = dead_circumflex degree dead_circumflex degree U2032 U2033 U2032'
Now try your keys. When it works, you may want the change permanently. So execute this:
$ xmodmap -pke | grep " 49" >> ~/.Xmodmap $ xmodmap -pke | grep " 94" >> ~/.Xmodmap
Media Keys
The evdev driver should produce keycodes that map to the appropriate keysyms for your media keys by default. You can confirm that by running
xev in a console window and watching the console output as you press your media keys.
For these keys to have any effect, you will have to assign actions to them. Refer to Extra Keyboard Keys in Xorg for more about that.
If you have confirmed that your media keys are not producing the correct keycodes, create or edit the
~/.Xmodmap file so that it includes these lines:
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext keycode 101 = XF86MonBrightnessDown keycode 212 = XF86MonBrightnessUp keycode 204 = XF86Eject
and then run
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap. Place that command in the
~/.bashrc file to have it run automatically when you log in.
PrintScreen and SysRq
Apple Keyboards have an
F13 key instead of a
SysRq key. This means that Alt+SysRq sequences do not work, and application actions associated with
PrintScreen (such as taking screenshots in many games that work under Wine) do not work.
Both issues can be addressed by installing keyfuzzAUR from the Arch User Repository.
With keyfuzz installed, run the following command:
echo "458856 99" | /usr/sbin/keyfuzz -s -d /dev/input/by-id/usb-Apple__Inc_Apple_keyboard-event-kbd
458856 (0x070068) is the scancode of

Other versions of the Apple Aluminum Keyboard may require a slightly different device path, so adjust it as needed. You can make this change permanent by putting the command in
Treating Apple Keyboards Like Regular Keyboards
If you want to use your Apple keyboard like a regular US-layout keyboard, with
Alt on the left side of
Meta, you can use the AUR package un-apple-keyboardAUR. Currently it only works for the aluminium USB model. The package does the following things:
- Adds a
/etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conffile which enables the
Fkeys by default, as above.
- Uses keyfuzz to remap
Scroll Lock, and
Pause, respectively
- Swaps the ordering of the
Command) keys to match all other keyboards, again using keyfuzz.
- Applies these changes automatically when you plug in your keyboard, with a udev rule.
You will need to add
/etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf to FILES in mkinitcpio.conf. Otherwise if you boot your computer with the Apple keyboard plugged in, the F keys will not be the default.
You also need to enable keyfuzz to run after system start to take effect of
Alt and
Command swap
$ systemctl enable keyfuzz

Another significant factor in the blogging slump is that I've also been in a bit of a reading slump. I finished Wolf Hall a while back and thought it was surprisingly good (I know, I shouldn't be surprised if a much-hyped award-winning book by a serious author is good, and yet ... more about that later). But as more and more smart and interesting reviews came out from other sources, I got discouraged about pitching in my own two-cents worth (if I had, I think the only thing I would have emphasized that didn't seem to get a whole lot of play is how intensely written a book it is, and how much, too, it seemed to take up an obliquely Scott-like interest in the neutrality of history, by which I mean that like Waverley, Wolf Hall evokes a moment of historical transition, particularly towards a more secular, political (dare I say, modern?) world, and makes the movement feel inevitable, avoiding either nostalgia or triumphalism, something played out on the pulses of people who manage to feel extraordinarily real--a task in which much contemporary historical fiction fails, about which, also, more in a bit). Anyway, I didn't review it, and since Wolf Hall, I really haven't read anything that I wanted to write about. Ian Rankin's The Complaints was OK, well-conceived, typically well written and plotted, but nothing special. Really, by the time I finished it, I had almost forgotten it wasn't a Rebus novel, so similar were the unifying issues and themes and also the central characters (hmm, a personally troubled cop who pushes the boundaries of his job? where have I read about that before?). Diana Abu-Jaber's Crescent looked really enticing, but I didn't find the central love story very convincing, the politics seemed evasive, and I got annoyed with the interspersed tale-spinning (though I realize this idea of how stories are woven together was meant to be a key idea about the book). I tried Detective Inspector Huss for the second time and still didn't make it past Chapter Three because the writing (or at least the translation) was so wooden. And now I'm nearly finished Kate Pullinger's The Mistress of Nothing and I'm so disappointed in it that although I think I will do a full write-up of it soon, because it is, or could have been, pertinent to the thinking I've been doing about Ahdaf Soueif and Anglophone representations of Egypt (but The Map of Love is so much better) I'm not looking forward to the exercise. The gist of the review will be (unless something changes in the last 20 or so pages) that the book is far too thin, the characters underdeveloped and thus their actions desperately unmotivated, and the cliches in both plot and writing deeply distressing--not least because about two days after I ordered the book (which looked so perfect for me!), it won a major literary award here in Canada.
I think I may be wrong to wait for a book I want to blog about. For some time I disciplined myself to write up everything I read, just to get the practice and to see what I had to say as a reviewer (rather than an academic). Almost always, I did find something to say, and the mental challenge as well as the writing experience was usually exhilirating. And really good books, or even really interesting books, are few and far between. So I'm going to try to get back into that habit. But in the meantime, I'm going to try to finish that little essay for Open Letters, as I promised to have it ready by tomorrow, mark as many papers on Jude the Obscure as I can bear, and try not to panic that in less than a month, I have to give some kind of a lecture on Romanticism and sound as if I know what I'm talking about. Wish me luck!

Kanaan Finally Wins The Indy 500
Tony Kanaan has finally won the Indianapolis 500.
Kanaan drove past Ryan Hunter-Reay on a restart with three laps to go, then coasted across the finish line under yellow when defending race winner Dario Franchitti crashed far back in the field.
It was a hugely popular victory at the speedway, where Kanaan had endured so much heartache. Coming into the race, the Brazilian had led more laps than any other non-winner besides Michael Andretti and Rex Mays. He finished second in 2004 and twice finished third.
Now, Kanaan is an Indy 500 champion, coming through on a cool day of thrilling competition that smashed the record for most lead changes and most leaders.This year's chill was a stark contrast to last year's high of 91 — one degree shy of the race-day record of 92 set in 1937.

AGS too much to handle for Posen
AuGRES-SIMS - Sep. 19, 2008 - AuGres-Sims seems to be getting its new spread offense on track, and it could be just in time to give the Wolverines the push they need to stay in the North Star League title chase.
The Wolverines pulled away from Posen in the second half to claim a 36-15 NSL victory to set the stage for their homecoming battle with Atlanta that both need to win to keep pace with Hillman atop the league.
"The offense is getting better and better," said AGS coach Dr. Scott McAlindon. "I think it's just out of sheer repetition; we've never thrown this many passes before.
"Alex (Lutz) has found his groove (at quarterback). He started the year with some nagging injuries, but he's healthy now. He's starting to take control of the team a lot like Isaiah Kauffman did a couple years ago."
Lutz completed 13-of-25 passes for 232 yards and four touchdowns and ran for the other two AGS scores himself, finishing with 161 rushing yards on 19 carries.
AGS took a 6-0 lead in the first quarter after an 11-yard Lutz-to-Chad Taylor pass capped a 91-yard drive.
Posen took the lead on a Nathan Street 2-yard run and two-point conversion, but Lutz connected with Kyle Gingerich for touchdown passes of 52 and 27 yards in the second quarter, the last one coming with under a minute to play and giving the Wolverines an 18-8 halftime lead.
Posen trimmed the lead to 18-15 early in the third quarter on a 10-yard pass from Aaron Romel to Scott Couture, but Lutz connected with Travis Byard for 62 yards on the next drive to give the Wolverines some breathing room.
With the lead in hand, the Wolverines took to the ground, and Lutz scored on runs of 5 yards and 46 yards to seal the win.
Gingerich finished with seven receptions for 109 yards and rushed for 40 yards on five carries, while Byard caught three balls for 93 yards.
Zach Dieleman had eight tackles and eight assists, Nathan Trapp had three tackles and nine assists and Tom Matijega added six tackles for the Wolverines (2-2, 1-1 NSL).
Atlanta (2-2, 1-1) visits AGS for the Wolverines' homecoming after knocking off Hale 26-16 on Friday.
"If we keep our offense going, we should be able to keep up with them," McAlindon said. "Holding them off won't be easy. It will be interesting."

Gland, Switzerland, 4 June 2010 (IUCN) – IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, inaugurates its new Conservation Centre today, setting a benchmark for sustainable office construction.
The showcase, eco-friendly office, which provides up to 140 workspaces in more than 2,000 m², was built in less than two years thanks to the contributions of Holcim, Philips, Kinnarps, Romande Energie, Commune of Gland, MAVA Foundation and others. An extension of IUCN's certified Natural Garden was funded by Loterie Romande.
A 50-year interest free loan of CHF 20 million for the construction was provided by the Swiss Confederation.
"The new IUCN Conservation Centre is a milestone in our history," says IUCN Director General Julia Marton-Lefèvre. "It allows IUCN to house all of its global Headquarters staff and increase partnerships for action with other key organisations co-located with us. The new building also demonstrates our wish to 'walk the talk' by using the most innovative features and meeting the strictest green standards."
In addition to IUCN, the Centre also hosts other major organizations in the conservation community: the Ramsar Convention, the MAVA Foundation and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Buildings account for up to 40 percent of global energy consumption. IUCN's new Conservation Centre aims to be the first office building in Europe to obtain LEED Platinum certification (the highest US standard) as well as the Swiss MINERGIE-ECO-P® standards for green construction and design and low energy consumption.
Innovative features include: rainwater for toilets and irrigation; recuperation of heat from refrigerators to produce hot water; a CHF 1 million solar park that also sends energy back to the local electricity grid; innovative low consumption lighting solutions; local and recycled building materials; geothermal heating; decentralized CO2 controlled air supply system, and more.
The building was designed by agps.architecture, who were part of the design team for the new terminal E at Zurich Airport. The project was managed by Karl Steiner Total Services Contractor.
HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey, Swiss explorer Bertrand Piccard will join IUCN's Council and staff for the inauguration ceremony.
Many other friends and supporters of IUCN including Swiss biologist and conservationist Luc Hoffmann and leading environmentalist Maurice Strong will also be present, as well as representatives from partner companies, IUCN Members and other organisations. The event comes at the end of the 74th meeting of the IUCN Council (the Union's governing body) which took place at headquarters this week.
"This building is a model for collaboration for a more sustainable future. 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity and it is a good time to show our wish to take action by showing that building green workplaces is feasible, efficient and even profitable in terms of operating costs," adds Marton-Lefèvre.

Deutsche Welle's trying to use Africa's mobile-phone boom to spread news by new means
"As the fastest-growing mobile market on the planet, Africa is facing huge opportunities — and distinct challenges — in news dissemination.
By the end of the year, it's estimated that more than three-quarters of the population will be cell phone subscribers, including in places where literacy rates are low and electricity is unavailable. To better serve that demographic, German media giant Deutsche Welle is using over-the-phone voice technology to deliver news.
No Internet access necessary: Just dial a number to access the program Learning by Ear, an educational show for teenagers that mixes news and explainers having to do with health, politics, the economy, the environment, and social issues." READ MORE

Over the past 18 years, Mr Doug Lloyd has been helping his clients reinterpret their creative vision with LLOYD&CO, his New York-based agency that focuses on fashion and luxury branding. It started well, and just got better: his first client was Mr Tom Ford during his tenure at Gucci (Mr Lloyd was responsible for those sexually charged campaigns where the letter G was shaved into the models' pubic hair), and over the years his open TriBeCa workspace has been the marketing epicentre for brands such as Jil Sander, Yves Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta. Ten floors above ground, Mr Lloyd adorns his office with keepsakes and artifacts that he's collected, in a space that was designed by the same person who worked on his apartment just a few blocks south. It's a suitably minimal concrete and white structure that shares similarities with some of his favourite New York art spaces. "I love the scale of the space and the shows that the Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea [New York] has done," Mr Lloyd says. "I also admire the interiors of galleries including David Zwirner, Lehmann Maupin and Team Gallery."

Renewed Euro Area tensions cut into capital flows to developing countries in May and June, and prompted a sharp downturn in business sentiment worldwide. Together these developments point to slower growth in 2012Q2 and Q3, unless recent improvements in financial markets and policy steps cause business sentiment to strengthen. Falling industrial commodity prices, notably oil prices, may mitigate impacts for importing countries, but will exacerbate strains on government revenues in commodity exporting nations.
|Capital flows to developing countries picked up slightly in June after falling sharply in May due to renewed Euro Area tensions. The resurgence of Euro Area turmoil in May caused gross capital flows to developing countries to fall by a revised 45% in May (solid line in figure). The bulk of the decline was in bond and equity issuance, as borrowers may have voluntarily delayed going to market given heightened uncertainty. In June, total gross capital inflows picked up somewhat. Perhaps surprisingly, in the most recent period syndicated bank lending has held up (despite European banking-sector deleveraging). Overall, inflows in May-June are down 36% from the levels observed in the first four months of the year. Should capital flows remain depressed they could contribute to weaker investment and growth in developing countries in the second half of the year.
|The financial turmoil in the Euro Area has cut into business sentiment worldwide. Purchasing manager indexes (PMIs) published by national sources and Markit deteriorated further in June. The global indicator descended into sub-50 territory, suggesting that global output shrank in June, with all economic regions weakening (except China whose official PMI improved slightly). A similar decline in PMIs occurred in the second half of 2011, when Euro Area tensions rose in July of that year. Perhaps, reflecting lessons learned from that earlier episode, the deterioration has been quicker and more marked this time around. The decline in sentiment is consistent with a scenario where firms and consumers are holding back on expenditures because of increased uncertainty. Economic outturns for the second and third quarters of 2012 will depend critically on whether confidence remains weak or begins to strengthen in response to recent policy steps.
|Euro Area tensions and global growth concerns have accentuated downward pressure on industrial commodity prices, notably oil prices. International prices of crude oil and other industrial commodities have been on a downward trend in recent months, reflecting strong supply growth and weak demand. The initial easing in prices occurred even as global economic activity was firming, but has accentuated with financial market tensions and expectations of weaker growth. As of July 3rd, international crude oil prices were $25 lower than their first quarter highs, and copper and aluminum prices were down 10 percent and 16 percent respectively. Internationally traded wheat prices have strengthened in recent weeks amid concerns that high temperatures may reduce global supplies, especially from key exporters including the United States and Russia. Compared with a year ago, wheat prices are up 15 percent and maize prices are up 14 percent. While lower oil prices will help to cushion the real-income effects of weaker GDP growth in most developing countries – lower oil and metal prices can be expected to cut into incomes and government revenues in exporting countries, exacerbating the downturn in those economies.

In 2005, President Clinton founded the Clinton Global Initiative to address "the world's most pressing challenges." In 2011 in Chicago, Clinton hosted the CGI America meeting, with a focus on job creation and economic growth in the U.S.
And because there's no possible segue from such important work to a show as silly as ours, we'll just come right out and say it: We decided to quiz the former president and Rhodes scholar about the My Little Pony show. The famously well-informed leader answers three questions about Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle.
Originally broadcast June 25, 2011
CARL KASELL: One of the most popular interviews we did in the last year was with President Bill Clinton.
Did that really happen?
KASELL: Yes, Peter. In fact, we were only able to broadcast a small part of our interview. So here's our extended version of our visit with the former president. He'd joined us in June of 2011, along with panelists Maz Jobrani, Jessi Klein and Tom Bodett.
SAGAL: Very excited to have you, sir. I have to ask, first of all, have you ever actually heard our show?
PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON: No.
SAGAL: Good.
SAGAL: That is so totally the answer I wanted.
CLINTON: I have to be honest.
SAGAL: No, that's fine. I just want you to know that we've treated you with the utmost respect.
SAGAL: Really.
CLINTON: So you hope I enjoyed it while it lasted.
SAGAL: I do, I do. No, no, just trust me on that.
Well, actually I'm curious about your life these days. Can I ask you in general, what is more fun: being president or being ex-president?
CLINTON: I guess in terms of raw fun, I've never had any more fun in my life, I love this. But I loved being president too. Even the bad days were good. When you're president, you have more power to help more people, but you also are the prisoner of circumstances as well, and countervailing political forces more.
SAGAL: Right.
CLINTON: When you're a former president, you have much less power, but you have a lifetime of experience and contacts and if you've got the energy, you can bring influence to bear on a small but still fairly substantial number of things where you can concentrate on it because you don't have to change the subject when you wake up in the morning and there's something else in the newspaper.
SAGAL: I've noticed you haven't mentioned the advantages of having an army though.
SAGAL: I mean you see some problem...
CLINTON: Well, an army?
SAGAL: Yeah, an army.
CLINTON: An army, a movie theater, a weekend retreat.
SAGAL: Yeah.
CLINTON: A helicopter, a jet airplane and they always play a song when you walk in a room.
SAGAL: Yeah.
CLINTON: The worst thing about not being president anymore is I was disoriented for three weeks because nobody every played a song when I walked in.
SAGAL: Really.
CLINTON: I never knew where I was.
SAGAL: Mrs. Clinton didn't like just hum something for you just to ease the transition.
CLINTON: Well, you know, by the time I left office, she was a senator.
SAGAL: Right.
CLINTON: And then...
SAGAL: So you had to get an appointment to see her.
CLINTON: My major political identity has been as her spouse for the last decade and I like it that way too.
SAGAL: Did she have to give you a little lesson as you made that transition in standing to the side and gazing adoringly?
CLINTON: No, actually I sort of knew how to do that because...
CLINTON: Because I had observed it in other pictures.
SAGAL: I understand. I mean you're flying all over the world with the Clinton Global Initiative. She's flying all over the world as the secretary of state. I only imagine when you guys want to have a date night it must involve a week of staff work just to...
CLINTON: No, that's not so bad. But what we try to do is to be home on the weekends. So for example, she went to Montego Bay in Jamaica yesterday, not to vacation but to meet with the Caribbean nations on their problems with Narco trafficking, flew back late last night and got up early this morning...
SAGAL: That's what she told you. I just want to establish...
CLINTON: Yeah, yeah.
SAGAL: That was her story, but go on.
CLINTON: That's her story and she's sticking to it.
SAGAL: Right.
CLINTON: Then, she testified before the Congress on Libya and Afghanistan. But she's coming home, so we'll get to spend the weekend together.
We really try to carve out those weekends. You know, we take long walks and go to movies. And lots of times, I just want her to rest, you know, because it's a - we're not spring chickens anymore so it's a pretty good lick on your body if you go to all the countries she's been to and do all the work she does?
MAZ JOBRANI: Do you guys Skype?
CLINTON: Do we what? No.
JOBRANI: Skype.
SAGAL: You don't like text to each other.
CLINTON: No. Well that's not quite true. We send texts when she's overseas or I'm overseas.
SAGAL: YEAH. That's so cute to imagine you like...
TOM BODETT: BBMing each other.
SAGAL: Yeah, LOL.
CLINTON: Now that I said that, I can't wait for somebody to pull them up.
SAGAL: Yeah, I know.
CLINTON: They'll be boring but endearing I hope.
SAGAL: What do you think of all the comedians? Because you were the butt of some humor back during your presidency. Did you ever pay any attention? Did it ever bother you? Did you enjoy it or did you just not care?
CLINTON: Oh yeah, no I thought a lot of the "Saturday Night Live" guys were great.
SAGAL: Oh, you enjoyed that.
CLINTON: Oh yeah. Those skits, they were funny on my predecessor. They were funny on me. And the guys they had play me were good. Actually, a time or two, we had Phil Hartman came to Washington and did one of those press dinners with me once and we, you know, pretended. We took turns being me.
SAGAL: Who was a better you, him or you?
CLINTON: That night, I think he was a better me than I was. I was a little off my feed that night.
BODETT: Mr. President, this is Tom. I'm the chairman of our local select board out in Vermont. So, you know, we have a lot in common.
BODETT: And I just had a quick governing question for you. You know, when you were governor and then president, you know, you had to make the hard decisions where, you know, sometimes you had to, like, you know, cut the transportation budget, even if you didn't want to. And my question is when you did that, like how did you keep the road crew from running over your mailbox the next day?
CLINTON: Well, you know, it was interesting - that's a funny question but there is a serious answer.
SAGAL: Please.
CLINTON: I mean, I think that the main thing is you got to try to get everybody together and they have to see the same numbers you do.
SAGAL: Well, we have a game to play with you, but I got one more question for you, because I haven't talked to a president before. So what happened at Roswell and who killed JFK?
CLINTON: Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe the Warren Commission report was correct.
SAGAL: That's disappointing.
CLINTON: And we actually celebrated the anniversary of Roswell when I was president.
SAGAL: With the aliens?
CLINTON: No. That's what I said. Most people thought, because of that movie, that the alien had been moved to Area 54 in Nevada.
SAGAL: Yeah.
CLINTON: Do you remember that?
SAGAL: I do, yeah.
CLINTON: So that's one guy said, they moved the aliens from Roswell to Area 54 in Nevada. The answer is no on both counts.
CLINTON: But all I can tell you is this.
SAGAL: Yes.
CLINTON: I'm not sure there's not life somewhere in outer space. What do I know? And I know that the Hubble telescope identified a planet in the constellation Libra, several light years outside our own solar system that seems to be far enough away from its sun that it might be enough like earth to support life. But I read everything I could get my hands on, on Roswell, and nothing I read persuaded me that it was an alien sighting or landing.
SAGAL: Maybe they were keeping it from you. I'm just suggesting.
CLINTON: Yeah, they could have. Lord knows what they keep from you, but I hope not.
JOBRANI: Sir, this is Maz.
CLINTON: Go ahead.
JOBRANI: I'm sorry. This is Maz. I have one question for you, too. When you went to North Korea with Kim Jong-Il.
CLINTON: Yeah.
JOBRANI: He requested you. What did he say? Did he just want like a Facebook...
SAGAL: Just to set this up, this was back in 2009. There had been some journalists taken prisoner, in essence. And they asked for President Clinton to go over there and bring them back. And he did so, and they released them to you and you brought them home.
JOBRANI: Yeah, so I'm just curious what he said. Because he requested you specifically, right? Did he just want like a Facebook picture or something? Or what was...
No, I think part of it was he thought it would be prestigious if I came and did that. And, you know, I'm a former president and my wife is the secretary of state and all of that. And part of it is the North Koreans have a pattern of doing something that drives us crazy when we forget about them.
SAGAL: It's interesting to think of North Korea as basically my 8-year-old daughter with a nuclear weapon.
SAGAL: President Clinton...
CLINTON: But that should give you hope because...
CLINTON: It means that your 8-year-old daughter can be taught not to use a nuclear weapon.
SAGAL: That's true. You can reason with them.
CLINTON: You're 8-year-old daughter can be educated to the fact that if she used a nuclear weapon, she might be one of the victims.
SAGAL: That's true. I might need to...
CLINTON: It's a no-brainer. We just got to keep working on it.
SAGAL: I might need to call you in and have you intervene in the next crisis at home.
CLINTON: Anytime.
SAGAL: Well, Mr. President, we are delighted to have you with us, but we do want to play a game with you and today we're calling...
CLINTON: This is the part where you make me look like a fool, right?
SAGAL: No, sir.
SAGAL: The farthest thing from our minds. All right, we have invited you here to play a game we're calling?
KASELL: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle.
SAGAL: So you're a former president, you're a Rhodes Scholar, you're famously well informed. What could we be sure that an accomplished person like you would know nothing about? And then the answer came to us: the TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."
SAGAL: Answer three questions, or answer two out of three questions about the wonderful world of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and you win our prize for one of our listeners, Carl's voice on their home answering machine. Carl, who is President Clinton playing for?
KASELL: The President is playing for Dave Parks of Chico, California.
CLINTON: Poor Dave.
SAGAL: Poor Dave, I know.
SAGAL: So here we go. You ready to do this? One of the current My Little Ponys is Rarity. That is her name, Rarity. What is her particular enthusiasm? A: she loves her little line of toys called My Even Tinier Ponies?
SAGAL: B: giving other ponies makeovers? Or C: eating paste?
CLINTON: Eating what?
SAGAL: Eating paste, sir, Mr. President.
SAGAL: P-A-S-T-E, paste, sir.
SAGAL: Yes, giving other ponies makeovers. Yes, that is in fact Rarity's...
SAGAL: Big enthusiasm. Very fashion conscious, our Rarity is. All right, when ponies in Equestria discover their true talents in life, they earn something. What? A tattoo on their flank, known as a cutie mark? B: a title, such as Fluttershy the Inventive? Or C: the right to mate?
SAGAL: A. You're going to go for A, a tattoo known as the cutie mark? Oh, you're right, sir.
JESSI KLEIN: I have to say I think it's probably fair to say this is the highest stake situation President Clinton has ever been in.
SAGAL: I think so.
KLEIN: In his entire life.
SAGAL: And he's doing so well.
KLEIN: He's killing it.
SAGAL: I'm sorry. I just like some day...
CLINTON: Show you that I'm a kid at heart.
SAGAL: That's true. All right, well let's see if you can be perfect. The ponies' most powerful enemy is which of these? A: Krastos the Glue Maker?
CLINTON: If he's not, he ought to be.
SAGAL: Yeah, I know. B: the evil pony Nightmare Moon? Or C: the cynical grownup, Chester?
SAGAL: B, you're going to go for the evil pony Nightmare Moon. You're right, Mr. President.
BODETT: Wow.
SAGAL: Nightmare Moon is released in the opening episode from the prison where she's been held for a thousand years, and is only defeated by the ponies working together, and then they have a party.
SAGAL: Carl, how did President Clinton do on our quiz?
KASELL: President Clinton wins again, Peter.
SAGAL: Oh my gosh.
KASELL: He had three correct answers. So the President wins for Dave Parks.
SAGAL: Another victory for you, sir. You've done so much: been elected twice, governor of Arkansas, the youngest governor ever. How does this stack up?
CLINTON: It's right up there.
SAGAL: All right.
SAGAL: President Clinton, thank you so much for joining us on WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!.

MISSISSIPPI STATE, Miss. -- Planting proceeded at a record pace in Mississippi this spring. Dry, relatively cool weather which allowed early planting also led to several reports of sulfur deficiency in corn. Crops must have sulfur. Two-bale cotton will use 24 pounds of sulfur per acre. A 120-bushel corn yield will need about 20 pounds of sulfur per acre.
Many Mississippi producers surveyed a few years ago reported sulfur use in their fertility program. Serious sulfur deficiencies were once thought to be confined to sandy soils with relatively low organic matter. However, deficiencies have been reported in a variety of situations.
Whole plants suffering from sulfur deficiency are light green with more expression in the upper parts. Sulfur deficiency is often confused with nitrogen deficiency, but nitrogen deficiency is more noticeable in the lower, older parts. The difference is due to the relative mobility of the different nutrients within the plant. Grass plants, including corn, will develop interveinal chlorosis.
Plants take up sulfur as sulfate, which does not attach to soil clay and organic matter, in contrast to phosphate ions. Sulfur may be lost through leaching, similar to nitrate nitrogen losses, because it remains in the soil solution.
Sulfur in organic matter is mineralized to sulfate by soil microbes. When soil organic matter is limited, or as happened this spring, microbial activity and/or plant root growth rates are slowed by cool temperatures, insufficient sulfur will be available for plant use. Plants may overcome this type of problem when growth increases and temperatures rise.
Several pathways exist for sulfur addition to soils. Older fertilizer materials such as monoammonium phosphate (11-48-0-2.2S) and single superphosphate (0-20-0-14S) provide sulfur in addition to the primary nutrients.
Additional sulfur is derived from rainfall, although clean air technology (examples catalytic converters and industrial flue gas scrubbers) has lessened this amount over the past few decades. (Recent National Atmospheric Deposition Program data for Mississippi is 10 to 14 pounds of sulfate per acre.)
Irrigation also supplies sulfur. Recent water quality analysis found 0.5 to 43 ppm sulfur in 31 wells throughout the Mississippi Delta counties (J. Thomas, MSU-ES).
If sulfur deficiency is suspected, obtain laboratory analysis of sulfur and nitrogen in "good" versus "bad" plants. Determine the ratio of nitrogen to sulfur (in percentage or ppm, as long as each is in the same unit) in the plants. Non-deficient plants will have N/S ratios in the range 7/1 to 15/1.
Monitor confirmed sulfur problems for a short time; symptoms may lessen as plant root activity increases. Topdress dire situations with a sulfate source at 20 pounds sulfate-S per acre, as long as rain or irrigation can move it into the soil.
Sulfur-containing fertilizers include ammonium sulfate (21-0-0-21S), potassium sulfate (0-0-52-16S), potassium magnesium sulfate (K-mag, 0-0-21-23S). A common program is sidedressing with ammonium thiosulfate (12-0-0-26S) blended with liquid nitrogen solutions for a 28-0-0-5S product. If it is available and can be applied, gypsum (18 percent S) may be used.
Elemental sulfur is available, but the sulfur in it must be oxidized to the sulfate form before plants can utilize it. The oxidation rate depends on the particle size on the particular material, temperature, and moisture, so it has more utility in a planned fertility program than in remedial use. Elemental sulfur is also used to lower soil pH.
If crop sulfur problems are suspected, confirm with plant sampling and continue field monitoring. Several options are available for remediation. Be prepared to address sulfur more in coming years if tillage decreases soil organic matter, air becomes cleaner, and non-sulfur fertilizer material use continues.
Larry Oldham is a Mississippi Extension soil specialist.

By BOUBACAR DIALLO Associated Press
CONAKRY, Guinea April 18, 2013 (AP)
Security forces in Guinea clashed with opposition protesters on Thursday who are opposed to the June date set for legislative elections, leaving at least 15 people wounded, the government said.
Police also arrested the opposition's spokesman and another leader after the demonstration went ahead despite the
government's calls for protesters to take another route.
"The government is deeply concerned about the lack of respect for the security instructions and the call to violence," government spokesman Damantang Albert Camara said. "It also strongly condemns the acts of violence that left people wounded and the stone-throwing attacks against security forces who had been deployed to ensure the civilian population's protection."
The government said four people were wounded by bullets "of an unknown origin," while others were hurt when protesters hurled stones.
At least one man was critically wounded, according to Mamadou Sire Tounkara at the emergency room at Donka hospital.
"He was shot in the stomach. He is bleeding but we don't have the means to treat him," Sire Tounkara said.
The long-awaited legislative vote has been a flashpoint for violent demonstrations over the last several months in this West African nation that long suffered under strongman rule.
The opposition is upset about the preparations being made for the June 30 date, saying the decision was made unilaterally by those in power. The arrests are sure to further heighten tensions surrounding the vote.
Guinean authorities deployed about 4,000 security forces before Thursday's rally.
Opposition supporters said police detained their spokesman, Aboubacar Sylla, along with leader Charles Pascal Tolno from the Guinea People's Party (PPG). The two men were released hours later.
Guinea held its first democratic president election in 2010, though the country has failed to organize legislative polls and has no sitting legislature.

The theme of this year's #worldwaterday focuses on water and energy. And for good reasons.
1. Globally, 1.3 billion people live without electricity, 768 million people lack access to potable water and 2.5 billion people are without sanitation (Source: IEA, 2012; WWAP, 2012). Water and energy are critical for ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity.
2. To obtain water requires energy, and to produce energy requires water. As the world's population increases, demand for freshwater and energy will continue to grow. This increase will present major challenges and strain resources in nearly all regions, especially in developing and emerging economies.(Source: UN Water)
3. Many energy companies and power utilities around the world have already experienced water-related business impacts in the past five years. A warming planet and increasing demand for resources are expected to make matters worse. (Source: CDP Global Water Report 2013)
However, innovative solutions are already being developed to help address the world's energy and water challenges.
4. A power plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico has developed a sustainable approach to using water for energy. Instead of using fresh water, the plant buys water from a wastewater treatment plant to be used in its cooling towers, reducing groundwater extractions by 48 million cubic meters (equivalent to nearly 20,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools).
5. UAE has sought diversification of its energy mix away from gas and toward clean energy. Its government plans to build the world's largest solar-powered desalination plant that will process more than 22 million gallons of potable water per day and generate 20 MW of electricity. (source: World Bank: Thirsty Energy Initiative)
6. Some countries are reducing fresh water dependency by exploring brackish and saline water options that enhance efficiency of power plants, and replacing old, inefficient power plants.
Stay connected on #worldwaterday and beyond @worldbankwater. And let's keep talking about innovative solutions that work across sectors.

Adult salivary gland stem cells are promising candidates for cell therapy and tissue regeneration in cases of irreversible damage to salivary glands in head and neck cancer patients undergoing irradiation therapy. At present, the major restriction in handling such cells is their relatively limited life span during in vitro cultivation, resulting in an inadequate experimental platform to explore the salivary gland-originated stem cells as candidates for future clinical application in therapy. We established a spontaneous immortal integrin α6β1-expressing cell line of adult salivary progenitor cells from rats ( rat salivary clone [RSC]) and investigated their ability to sustain cellular properties. This line was able to propagate for more than 400 doublings without loss of differentiation potential. RSC could differentiate in vitro to both acinar- and ductal-like structures and could be further manipulated upon culturing on a 3D scaffolds with different media supplements. Moreover, RSC expressed salivary-specific mRNAs and proteins as well as epithelial stem cell markers, and upon differentiation process their expression was changed. These results suggest RSC as a good model for further studies exploring cellular senescence, differentiation, and in vitro tissue engineering features as a crucial step toward reengineering irradiation-impaired salivary glands.
Neutrophil-cytokine interactions in a rat model of sulindac-induced idiosyncratic liver injury.
Zou, Wei; Roth, Robert A; Younis, Husam S; Malle, Ernst; Ganey, Patricia E
Previous studies indicated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) interacts with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug sulindac (SLD) to produce liver injury in rats . In the present study, the mechanism of SLD/LPS-induced liver injury was further investigated. Accumulation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in the liver was greater in SLD/LPS-cotreated rats compared to those treated with SLD or LPS alone. In addition, PMN activation occurred specifically in livers of rats cotreated with SLD/LPS. The hypothesis that PMNs and proteases released from them play critical roles in the hepatotoxicity was tested. SLD/LPS-induced liver injury was attenuated by prior depletion of PMNs or by treatment with the PMN protease inhibitor, eglin C. Previous studies suggested that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF) and the hemostatic system play critical roles in the pathogenesis of liver injury induced by SLD/LPS. TNF and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) can contribute to hepatotoxicity by affecting PMN activation and fibrin deposition. Therefore, the role of TNF and PAI-1 in PMN activation and fibrin deposition in the SLD/LPS-induced liver injury model was tested. Neutralization of TNF or inhibition of PAI-1 attenuated PMN activation. TNF had no effect on PAI-1 production or fibrin deposition. In contrast, PAI-1 contributed to fibrin deposition in livers of rats treated with SLD/LPS. In summary, PMNs, TNF and PAI-1 contribute to the liver injury induced by SLD/LPS cotreatment. TNF and PAI-1 independently contributed to PMN activation, which is critical to the pathogenesis of liver injury. Moreover, PAI-1 contributed to liver injury by promoting fibrin deposition.

Although it is discussed over and over, a lot of colleagues in the web industry keeps coding using procedural approach, using procedural mysqli (mysql even!) and ignores the basic security concepts. Regardless of the fact that there are too many articles on each subject individually, I could not skip all those constant questions like: "Why do I need it?", "Is it really necessary?" and the statement: "Well, this is good," "What do you want, it is working" and similar statements.
Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a model that focuses on objects rather than actions. The code organisation is about entities that are crucial to the application we are writing.
From the client's point of view, properly written code means easier optimization, faster work, easier maintenance.
The first step in object-oriented thinking is to identify all objects to be managed through the application and to determine their mutual relationships, a procedure similar to the creation of a table and a column in a database (data modeling). Once we determine the main entity of the applications (objects), we include all of their attributes that we will use through the management of objects. Also, each of the objects can perform some functions that we define through the methods of that object (i.e. user can be logged, users can be listed in the table or as options in the "select" field etc.) Objects among each other communicate through "messages".
Non-redundant code in OOP is achieved by subclasses, where we define a common class with all common attributes and methods that other similar classes will inherit, and after each individual subclass we define specific attributes and methods.
Since this post does not strive to be any "tutorial" for OOP, I will stop here with listing features. These are the most basic details you need for writing quality web applications.
Why is this important?
This question can be viewed from many perspectives.
From the point of a programmer who is supposed to maintain someone else's code, the concept of OOP makes it a lot easier to manage something that he did not write. From the perspective of a project manager, better code organization makes it easier to form and assign tasks to developers. From the client's point of view, properly written code means easier opting, faster work, and easier maintenance.
