There are many marvelous effects that JustCBD gummies have on the mind and body. That's why it is easy to see why cannabidiol, a.k.a. CBD, is growing into one of the hottest supplements on the market.
First off, it is important to know where the CBD comes from, hemp or marijuana? Since 2018, the federal Farm Bill decriminalized CBD and other industrial hemp across the country. Despite the fact that both stem from the cannabis plant, the CBD in hemp does not create the euphoric effects that people associate with the tetrahydrocannabidol, or THC, from marijuana.JustCBD first opened its doors in the summer of 2018 with one driving motive: to supply the best CBD edibles on the market through quality merchandise and top-notch professional service.
These days, there are many ways that men and women get their hemp derived CBD. Some folks like using vape pens, while others prefer oil tinctures or bath bombs. Yet, JustCBD's most popular CBD products on the market are colorful gummies, sugar free gummies and other edibles, including dried fruit and protein bars. After all, JustCBD's best CBD edibles offer men and women 8 fantastic benefits.
1 Less Cardio Risks
While vape pens have become increasingly popular in our society, they still possess many of the long term dangers associated with smoking. A number of vaporizer pens on the market are made with dangerous thinning agents, such as propylene glycol (PG) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Research has shown that these thinning agents can lead to toxic carcinogens that possibly increase the risk of cancer. Sure, a determined shopper can always find vape machines without these thinning agents. But a person should keep his or her precious heart and lungs free from potentially toxic compounds? Online feedback also claims that JustCBD oil edibles taste better in an individual's mouth.2 Long Lasting Results
There is no doubt that JustCBD treats are marvelous for helping users feel calm and cool after becoming stressed out. While it may take a little longer for the positive effects of CBD oil edibles to impact one's mind and body, it is well worth the wait. As food is digested in their systems, folks can enjoy the benefits of the best CBD for anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 or even 4 hours at a time. In other words, a person can take advantage of powerful CBD much longer if it is eaten, rather than smoked or vaped.
3 CBD Won't Make A User High
Unlike smoking marijuana, hemp-derived CBD has less than 0.3% THC. Without enough of this psychoactive compound that makes a person high, CBD from hemp actually has the opposite effect. JustCBD edibles actually bring people down, helping them to feel relaxed, calm and cool. Rather than wanting to go out a see a laser lightshow, a user may prefer to stay in, mellow out and simply enjoy being in a good mood. The best CBD gummies have been known to put smiles on people's faces.
4 A Person Can Buy CBD Merchandise Online
Rather than driving to the grocery store or mall to stand in line, a person can simply order JustCBD gummies on the internet. People can do it on their smartphones while riding on a bus, or from their couches on a tablet. They don't even have to get out of bed. Folks can also rest assured that all the CBD they buy stems from hemp. Consumers should also know that all of JustCBD's oil gummies are tested at a third party lab to ensure safety, as well as produced in the United States.
5 Dosing Couldn't Be Easier
Not only is it not possible to overdose on CBD from hemp, it is a cinch to pick the exact amount of CBD a piece of food. Too bad it's not so easy to do that when one smokes or vapes CBD. A person simply chooses precisely how much CBD he or she wants in his or her pre-dosed serving size. This makes it possible to calculate how much CBD is necessary to reach the desired effects in a user's particular system. Should a person take two of the best JustCBD edibles or will one be strong enough? It may take a little trial and error, but people have no trouble figuring it out.
6 A Wide Array of Flavorful Options
When the time comes to buy JustCBD gummies, buyers want to get the best options to satisfy their taste buds. What may be delicious for one person, may not taste too good to another. Many people may enjoy eating the top CBD edibles with fruit flavors, like tangy citrus or sour like lemon lime. Thankfully, a buyer of CBD gummies for sale can now choose from a number of flavors, ranging from Wild Berry to Peach Rings and rainbow Ribbons. The hardest part is picking which CBD edible to try next. At least folks can buy a bunch and enjoy a new flavor with each day of the week.
7 CBD Edibles Are Discreet
Rather than carrying around a vaporizer pen, a person can be tactful with some of the top CBD gummies on the market. For starters, JustCBD edibles are easy to consume. No droppers are necessary and there is no smoke to stink up a room. At the same time, CBD protein bars, dried fruit, gummies and sugar free CBD gummies are all small enough to take with on the go, whether they are thrown into a pocket, a purse or a backpack.
8 CBD Goods Can Help People Relax
There is no question that the best CBD merchandise from JustCBD works at helping people fight off stress and relax. The CBD treats actually calm a user by binding to serotonin receptors. As a direct result, everyday stressors immediately become more manageable. Whether a person is stuck in a traffic jam or giving a big presentation at a work conference, chilling out becomes easy. With a peaceful state of mind, people will have no trouble falling asleep and staying asleep for hours at a time. When folks roll out of bed in the morning, they will look totally refreshed and feel completely revitalized. In other words, the best CBD edibles available can help individuals achieve better rest, along with higher energy levels and productivity throughout the day.

26-Mar-2014 Source: Sikorsky
The Maritime Helicopter Support Company (MHSCo) — a Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin joint venture company — today broke ground to build the maintenance and warehouse facilities that will provide Through Life Support logistics services for the Royal Australian Navy's new fleet of 24 MH-60R SEAHAWK®helicopters. Once completed in early 2015, the two buildings, totaling more than 11,400 square meters (120,000 square feet), will house as many as 120 personnel with the knowledge and ability to keep the fleet in peak flight readiness during its estimated 30-year lifespan.
"Excavation and construction of these Through Life Support buildings begin an important chapter for the long-term readiness ofAustralia's most sophisticated maritime helicopter," said Rod Skotty, President of MHSCo. "Our company's experience supplying repaired parts for more than 500 U.S. Navy H-60 maritime helicopters around the world will directly carry over to a larger business model specially configured for Australia's maritime helicopter needs, and carried out by skilled Australian technicians and administrators inside a modern, dedicated space."
Sited at the Albatross Aviation Technology Park, adjacent to the Royal Australian Navy's MH-60R operational squadron facilities at the Naval Air Station Nowra, the Through Life Support facilities consist of an 8,300-square-meter (89,000 square feet) Maintenance Repair Operation building to service the 24 helicopters and a warehouse of 3,100 square meters (33,000 square feet). The buildings are to be completed in early 2015.
The facilities also will house representatives from Brisbane-based Sikorsky Helitech (which specializes in helicopter aftermarket support), Lockheed Martin Australia (mission systems and avionics), and General Electric (engines).
While NAS Nowra personnel will perform day-to-day operational maintenance on the MH-60R fleet, MHSCo's Through Life Support facilities will be responsible for a higher level of maintenance at periodic intervals. Aircraft will be inducted for scheduled and unscheduled depot level airframe maintenance, or deeper level maintenance, as it is known in Australia.
MHSCo also will carry out logistics and inventory management of spares and repaired parts; house ground support equipment; provide periodic helicopter and component maintenance; install aircraft upgrades and modifications; and conduct a full strip and repaint of aircraft.
MH-60R helicopter manufacturer Sikorsky and mission systems integrator Lockheed Martin formed MHSCo in 2000 to respond to the U.S. Navy's need for a single point of contract for hundreds of helicopter parts from multiple suppliers. Today, MHSCo supplies more than 1,300 different components for five U.S. Navy H-60 helicopter types, at high efficiency levels.
Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin have delivered to the U.S. Navy a total of 185 (of 280) MH-60R aircraft for anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare missions. To date, the Royal Australian Navy has received four completed MH-60R aircraft, as part of a Commonwealth/U.S. Government agreement, contracted in 2011.
The Royal Australian Navy's first eight MH-60R helicopters will transition with their aircrews from the training site inJacksonville, Fla., to NAS Nowra beginning in late 2014. At that time, MHSCo's current staff of 30 employees will have grown to more than 70 employees.
Sikorsky Helitech is overseeing construction of the MHSCo Through Life Support facilities and associated infrastructure byJones Lang LaSalle, which is contracted to complete the work to meet the latest national and international standards for health and safety.
Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., based in Stratford, Conn., is a world leader in helicopter design, manufacture and service. Its parent company, United Technologies Corp.

Region: Beleriand & North
Meaning: Grassland or Valley of Willows

Location: Along the banks where the Narog joins the Sirion River.
Description: 'Lovely to heart's enchantment is that land… There Ulmo is but the servant of Yavanna, and the earth has brought to life a wealth of fair things that is beyond the thought of hearts in the hard hills of the North. In that land Narog joins Sirion, and they haste no more, but flow broad and quiet through living meads; and all about the shining river are flaglilies like a blossoming forest, and the grass is filled with flowers, like gems, like bells, like flames of red and gold, like a waste of many-coloured stars in a firmament of green. Yet fairest of all are the willows of Nan-tathren, pale green, or silver in the wind, and the rustle of their innumerable leaves is a spell of music: day and night would flicker by uncounted, while still I stood knee-deep in grass and listened. There I was enchanted, and forgot the Sea in my heart.'

Root Canals in Kingwood, TX
Root canal treatment, also referred to as root canal therapy or endodontic therapy, is used to save an infected or damaged tooth and avoid having it removed. A root canal becomes necessary when a neglected cavity reaches all the way to the pulp at the center of the tooth, causing the pulp to become infected. Regular cleanings and checkups detect and prevent problems early on.
Trauma can also cause deep damage to the nerve of a tooth. Once this occurs, the pulp becomes infected and begins to eat away at the surrounding bone (this is called an abscess). By the time the pulp is infected it must be treated and cannot heal on its own. It can even weaken the entire immune system, making it very dangerous and painful.
Symptoms of infected pulp may include sensitivity to hot/cold or sweets, pain, swelling, pain with biting or pressure, and a bad taste in the mouth. Sometimes, however, there are no symptoms, and you are unaware of any problem until a checkup.
A root canal is performed to clean out the infected tooth pulp and disinfect the canals of the tooth. The only other treatment would be to extract the tooth. Once the infection is resolved, the canal(s) is filled to prevent any further infection. Crowns are usually recommended to cover and restore a tooth after root canal therapy.

Memories light the corner of my mind
Misty water color memories
Of the way we were...
Yes, the way we were. What happened to those days????? You blink, and your a victim of the horrible joke that life plays on us all! LOL!!
One day we are sporting the baby oil and taking in the rays...
I just couldn't help myself, but use Amy Bradley's "All about me" one more time for this hop. My evil quiltin sista, came up with the idea of a pom pom bikini, although now she completely denies it!! Hummm... have I finally managed to horrify her too? LOL!!
From the golden tan era to the cottage cheese thighs!
I love pin cushions...so the wheels started turning. I started with a wooden craft box from any hobby store. While I was working on the zillion pom poms it took to cover it, the memory of those tissue paper flowers, started dancing in my head. Those of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's remember em. They were great big ones on sticks. Hummm... the pom pom would make a fabulous center to a flower, now wouldn't it.
My really big pin cushion, has it's very own big pom pom flower. Since it's about 8" square and 18" tall, I shouldn't manage to loose it in my sewing room. Won't that be a nice change, for once.
Let's have a give a way that reminds me of the spring, that hasn't managed to happen here yet!
She has put in hours of time getting this hop together for us to enjoy!
And the fabulous Madame Samm, who's visions keep us all in stitches...or I guess I should say, pom-poms this time!

Displaying items by tag: joomla
During J and Beyond 2012, the organizers showed the almost finished version of a brand new promo video for Joomla. The video, created by Swedish company Joomlaproffs.se, is a 2 minute promotional video of the project, highlighting the benefits of Joomla.
I think it looks really professional, and conveys the message well. Great work!
Building a strong brand has a lot to do with being unique. And it's about positioning your brand so the audience knows who you are and what you stand for.
There are many shoe manufacturers out there, but Nike stands out because they "just do it". Apple sets itself apart from other companies by being extremely innovative and actually creating new product segments (the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad - need I say more?). Apple used the slogan Think different for a number of years.
A Content Management System in itself is not anything unique. There are many CMS out there, and quite a few of them have a lot going for them. How do they set themselves apart from the crowd? What do their brands stand for? In this post, I take a look at how three other CMS present themselves and how Joomla compares.
As you might have noticed, my blog was unavailable on and off for about 36 hours a few days ago. Obviously, this is not something I'm happy about.
The reason for the down-time seemed to be some trouble with the mySQL server. It just didn't want to start. I tried everything I knew, then contacted my hosting company. They told me to restart the mysqld service (done). They then told me to reboot the server (done). After several more emails from me, describing the problem, I didn't hear anything.
Come the next day, I sent some more emails to the hosting company. Still no response. Around 1 pm, I called them. As it turns out, some other server in their hosting environment had been hacked and they'd been working on that one first... Doh! It took the support tech 2 mins to determine my disk was full!
As I mentioned a few days ago, there was going to be a big announcement for Joomla today. eBay announced earlier today that the company is going to use Joomla, the world's largest open source content management system (CMS). Joomla will be used for its thousands of employees to share information in its community portal. It might not be as big as it seemed at first, but I believe it's still a really good thing for Joomla.
The "Community Analytics" program will enable eBay's 16,400 employees to source and analyze massive amounts of data to power ideas and learning across the company.
In exchange, eBay will contribute its experiences by becoming part of the Joomla open source community
This infographic shows the history of Joomla from its inception in 2005 until today and is the Spanish version of the original one I did for Joomla's fifth birthday on September 1st 2010.
The graphic also shows key figures for the project as of today.
I hope you enjoy the infographic and share with everyone you know :)
Thanks to Steve Burge, Brian Teeman and Peter van Westen for help with this project, and to Isidro Baquero from www.gnumla.com for the Spanish translation.

As you know, all 5-year olds love gifts (and cake) - I know mine did :) So, I made a birthday gift to the Joomla Community. It's an infographic showing the history of Joomla from the start in 2005 until today.

Today Joomla! turns five years old. Congratulations to all!
There are lots of people congratulating Joomla in their own special way today. Read on for a list of exciting posts and info.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard about the Apple iPad. The iPhone big brother arrived a few weeks ago, and Apple has sold a huge number of devices already.
The iPad is already a success, and as a device for consuming information it's really great.
So how does this relate to your reality as a Joomla user? In short: You need to make sure that your Joomla website works on the iPad. And not just that it works. It should be a delight surfing your website on the iPad.
Scribe is an SEO service that analyzes your content and tells you how you can make it better for search engines and get ranked higher. The service has been available for Drupal and WordPress for a while. A message about Joomla! support has been seen on the Scribe SEO site for a couple of months or so.
Today, the free Scribe SEO extension for Joomla was released.
The extension has been developed by the guys over at JoomlaShack in coorporation with Scribe SEO.
I was surfing Twitter and the Joomla Forums today and noticed people complaining about a lot of issues. Many of them were 'victims' of one or more of the following reasons people fail at using Joomla:
- Not taking the time to learn the basics
- Using a bad template
- Not having a backup plan
- Installing a new version without doing a backup
- Not bothering to read and understand the security checklist
- Not learning even a tiny bit of CSS
- Installing new extensions on a production site without testing them
- Ranting and shouting in the forums, thereby losing out on the help you would get if your were thinking before shouting
- Oops, I guess I couldn't think of anything more - how about you?

Puppy Love
I've been wanting to make a grown up version of peanut butter cups for years now. I pictured it, layers of peanut butter and chocolate mousse, enveloped in a shiny dark glaze, the ultimate Reese's. I even got the requisite molds, actually pieces of piping, for 46 cents at Home Depot (take that, fancy cooking store!) and I went so far as to write up a recipe. But I never seemed to find the right occasion to make them. The recipe is actually meant to make one giant torte, but I wanted to make individual ones, and it is a bit fancy and fiddly to make on just any day.
All of this is really just a very obfuscated way of telling you the big news in our house: we got a puppy! Getting a little 8-week old fuzzy creature is truly a life-altering experience, one that involves kiddie-gates, squeaky toys to trip over, a lot of playing, and saying goodbye to some of your potted plants. And forget spending more than 4 hours away from home.
Now, I've never needed an excuse to bake anything, but I've managed to come up with a very good one. You see, we have lots of friends who want to come by and meet the puppy, and surely (given my reputation) I should have some small sweet on hand to offer them. Yes, a puppy is the perfect excuse to make that peanut butter cup recipe sitting in my folder. Frankly, it was all a ruse, because everyone is too busy playing with the puppy to be at all interested in eating anything. And really, these were so good, we didn't want to offer them to guests, rather we hoarded them, keeping their crackly chocolate crusts and creamy peanut butter centers all to ourselves.
Obviously, these were delicious, don't wait for an excuse (much-less a puppy) but make these now. I love the individual molds, but if I did this again, I'd probably make one big torte because it's a lot easier and will taste the same. But what I really want to emphasize is how easy these are to make, seriously, there is no cooking involved, and the hardest thing you might have to do is whip cream or melt chocolate.
I should note the glaze is the only thing that is slightly complicated, and it is optional if you're making one large torte but I wanted it for the minis. I really love this glaze, it hardens all crackly and with a slightly granular texture reminiscent of fudge, and it stays shiny. You do need a candy thermometer and you do need to use the glaze right away or it will harden: I was trying to take pictures and pour the glaze at the same time (hello, can I get a sous-chef/photographer please?), so some of mine was a bit lumpy and less-than-pretty. However, if you're paying attention, you'll get a perfect hard outer shell that's very professional looking. I think the glaze really brought everything together, but you could also glaze with ganache if you prefer.
You're welcome to come by and play with the puppy; she's very sweet, generally well-behaved, and very well-loved. But don't expect any peanut butter cups, we ate them all, so I can only offer you the recipe to make your own.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Mousse Tarts
Who doesn't love a peanut butter cup? The recipe calls for a total of 3 cups whipped cream, which means you will want to start with 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and whip it to stiff peaks. I find it is easiest to transfer the mousses to the freezer when working with them, so that they firm up quickly, so you may want to clear out some freezer space before starting.
1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Nabisco Famous Wafers)
4 tbl melted butter
chocolate mousse layer:
4 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/3 cup milk
3 tbl sugar
2 tbl cocoa powder
1 cup whipped cream
1 splash rum (optional but highly recommended)
peanut butter mousse layer:
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
4 oz cream cheese, softened (low fat is fine)
1 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups whipped cream
glaze (optional):
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
4 oz bittersweet chocolate
1. Combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 10" springform pan or 8 round molds set on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. For the chocolate mousse: Finely chop the chocolate and place in a small bowl. Place the milk, sugar, and cocoa in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Heat the milk mixture until simmering, then pour over the chopped chocolate, add the rum. Stir the chocolate mixture gently until everything is melted and combined. Stir the chocolate mixture until it is no longer hot to the touch (but don't wait so long so that the chocolate hardens). Fold in the whipped cream, then refrigerate the mixture.
3. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, salt until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream. Keep in the refrigerator.
4. Spread the chocolate mousse in the bottom of your springform pan, or divide it between the small molds. Top with the peanut butter mousse, gently smoothing the top. Transfer to the freezer to set for at least one hour (I find it is easier to work with the mousses from the freezer, but you can use the refrigerator. Also, if you're making minis, it will be easiest to unmold them if they are completely frozen).
5. Once the edges of the mousse are firmly set, unmold the tart by running a hot knife around the edge of the pan/mold, then remove the sides of the pan/mold. Return the mousse to the freezer while you make the glaze.
6. Make the glaze: place the sugar, water, and chocolate in a small saucepan and clip a candy thermometer on the side. Bring to a boil and let boil until the mixture reaches 234F, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, take your mousse out of the freezer and place on a rack. Remove the glaze from the heat, and give the chocolate glaze one stir just to cool slightly, then pour the glaze immediately over the mousse tarts. You have to work very quickly as the glaze will begin to harden. If it hardens early, it may be less than pretty, but don't worry it will still taste good.
7. Store in the fridge until serving. If you have a large mousse tart, cut slices with a hot knife. The tart may begin to break down after 2 days in the fridge, simply freeze any leftovers and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Lighten Up Tip: Instead of 3 cups whipped cream you can use a lightened whipped cream: whip one cup cream to stiff peaks. Whip one egg white with one pinch of sugar until it is shiny and holds stiff peaks, fold the egg white into the whipped cream. Use in the recipe as directed.
The Molds: To make the miniature mousse tarts, it's easiest if you use mini springform pans (2 or 3" diameter). However, they can be expensive, so you can also use ring molds, available at pastry supply stores, or simply use a tube of piping. If using piping, wash it well and line the inside with some parchment paper.

Hi Anonymous-
I actually don't know if the piping I used was PVC, though it was white plastic, and I did line the molds with parchment. A chef recommended Home Depot for piping to use in molds, and it's so hard to know what if safe or environmentally friendly these days.
Thanks for that information though, I've ammended the instructions to specify that people be careful about the piping they choose, if they decide to use it.
Thanks Elmi! - October 3, 2007 at 8:52 AM

Mercedes, how fantastic! Congratulations on your new little bundle - she's a real beauty, and she has such a sweet face! This idea and recipe are genius, and I'm so glad you finally felt you had an excuse to make and share them. And bring on the sous chefs! I need one too!

Teri- I'd be interested to know how this comes out as a raw dish. Let me know if you try it.
Hillary- ha, there are some perks to being a grown-up! Thanks.
Amanda- Thank you, she's the best and she does have the most expressive face. Instead of a sous-chef, I just have a small fuzzy thing to trip over now! - October 3, 2007 at 7:24 PM

Adorable puppy!!!
That peanut butter cup looks divine! I can't eat chocolate because it gives me headaches, but I'm thinking I could adapt this with a vanilla cookie layer and a white chocolate glaze... - October 3, 2007 at 10:49 PM

Yea for puppies! Yours has such beautiful eyes! And I have a couple of birthdays coming up and I've been looking for inspiration--I can't wait to make these as peanut butter and chocolate is one of the best flavor combinations ever!

Manggy- how odd, in my experience when you get really good fresh cream it's super-thick and can whip easily. Look for double cream, or something above 36% butterfat. Whipped cream is foam stabilized by fat, so the more fat the more firm. Homemade whipped cream will never be as stiff as Cool Whip, though you can make stabilized whipped cream using gelatin.
Ewokgirl- thanks, I think these would be great with vanilla cookies and white chocolate. The only caveat would be white chocolate is very sweet, so watch the sugar levels to prevent it from being sticky-cloying sweet.
Jerry- actually, Reeese's pb cups have pb on the inside and chocolate on the outside, so this isn't inside out. Inside out would have pb on the outside- a good idea for someone wanting to play around!
Charlotte- thanks, I say don't wait for an excuse! - October 4, 2007 at 9:06 AM

Homesick Texan- thanks, the puppy is a keeshond, and the breed is known for having "spectacle" markings, hence the expressive eyes. I do hope you make these, they're really yummy, perfect for any celebration. Let me know if you try them!
Julia- thanks!
Megan- yes, do try them, they're really not that difficult either! - October 4, 2007 at 4:19 PM

My hips just expanded several inches =] How delightful. Maybe add some caramel next time? Mmmm...I'll surely make these for Halloween treats! Salamat! (that's Tagalog for "Thank you" :)
P.S. Does this lovely puppy have a name yet? - October 5, 2007 at 12:51 PM
- Mercedes said...
Krizia- I was actualy thinking you could do a variation, with the top layer as butterscotch instead of pb.
The puppy's name is Habibi (Arabic for "my love" which I realize isn't even correct since she's a girl it should be habibatee) but it's fitting nonetheless. - October 5, 2007 at 1:39 PM

mercedes, i made one big version instead of several small ones. it was delicious. there was one problem though, the glaze. it did not come together. so i made a different one with butter and chocolate instead.

Oh I love your puppy...we are pondering getting another (have a supersized Golden Retriever now)...what breed is your puppy?

I reckon this subforum could be doing with one of these threads for general gaming recommendations (or not).
I have far too many games and flick between several at any one time. I seem to have become bored with Skyrim after about 50 hours and finishing the main quest line, so I've gone back to a few flight sims with Rise of Flight and DCS: A-10C Warthog, which are probably the two best combat flight sims on the market at the moment.
I also picked up Unity of Command after itching to play an operational level wargame, but far too intimidated by Gary Grigsby's War in the East. It really is an entry-level wargame, takes a matter of minutes to learn but is incredibly deep. The supply system is elegant and satisfying. It seems to be getting a great reception from respected journalists.
Also picked up The Binding of Isaac in the Steam sale. Great value, so far.
I still have Dark Souls sitting in its box in my drawer. Would really like to get in and see what the fuss is all about, but I hardly ever turn on my PS3. If only they would port these games to a more suitable platform :P

Each year, just before Wimbledon starts, I try and entice
Dick Hess into coming around for a day or two so that we can get the local
puzzlists together for a gathering… he's fallen for it a few times now… and
last Friday I took the day off work so that I could collect him from the
station and spend the day chatting about puzzles and tennis and life in
general… Gill and I had a great day with him – and that evening we collected
Louis from the airport which could only mean one thing: an MPP was in the
offing... and sure enough, next morning the puzzlists descended on Puzzling Times
MPP XXiii!
Gill left early on the Saturday morning to attend a workshop
a friend was running in Alcester, leaving me to ready the house for the
impending arrivals.
I'd unwittingly arranged a bit of a test for the arriving
puzzlists in the form of some major roadworks in our street that resulted in
almost everyone having to negotiate some interesting detours, and then
negotiate with a surly construction worker to allow them safe passage past the
obstruction he was manning with strict orders to keep them out… they all made
it through.
Apart form his usual mathematical challenges, Dick had carefully prepared a number of new puzzles to dish
out to everyone – after last year's Four Keys puzzle (which I'd done 90% of
and needed Dick to restore the final key for me!) he brought us the Five Keys
puzzle – consisting of – you guessed it – 5 differently shaped keys trapped on
a trapeze – so far I've looked at it, confirmed that all five keys are
currently attached and taken a pic of the solved state… and sometime in the
next few days I shall embarrass myself by attempting to remove and replace the
keys… it only took me the best part of a year last time… Thank you, Dick!
Shane had brought along a couple of prototype lock puzzles
that several of us had a go at – and without exception, we were encouraging him to
manufacture them and inflict them on a wider audience.
Oli presented everyone with a 2 pence version of the obloid wobbler and they were duly rolled around to much amusement... cheers Oli!

Big Steve had brought along copies of a Wimbledon-themed
Coffin-like 3D-printed puzzle for everyone – a lovely idea and rather generous
of him… I didn't get a chance to play with it until the following day and it's
a great variation on a theme that makes for a really interesting little puzzle:
six identically-shaped pieces in three colours fit together to make a neat
little rhombic dodecahedron – Thanks Steve!
James had brought along a couple of challenges for us all: a
copy of the World's Fair Prize Puzzle from 1891 confounded everyone, as it had
done at our last PMPP, but several folks had a lot more success tackling his
yoghurt pot challenge to assemble 6 pots into a three dimensional cross shape
in such a way that it holds together of its own accord. I saw several complete structures
and also witnessed a number of sheepish looks when a passer-by picked up one
that someone else had assembled, only to have it fall apart in their hands… some
of the advanced challenges with smaller pots and other sorts of plastic lids didn't
meet with as much success, so we decided they were probably impossible!
Lunch consisted of several pizzas, a couple of quiches and
even some salad – can you tell that Gill had organised the food and not me? Oh,
and the ice cream and choccy sauce went down quite well afterwards.
I'd left out my copy of Pavel's Edgewise for folks to solve
for me (having failed abysmally on my last holiday to do so myself). A couple of folks, led by Chris duly had a
stab at it and found some really interesting "features" – but couldn't quite
crack it … although later that evening when everyone had wandered off in their
respective directions, Louis and I had another bash at it and ended up actually
managing to solve its multi-layered challenges – tremendous sense of
satisfaction, almost smugness, ensued.
A couple of copies of Wil's new Pachinko box were in
evidence and a few guys who hadn't bought one managed to have a go at solving
them… and I think that Oli managed to get all the way through it – well done
that man!
Somewhere around mid-afternoon I had to run Dick back to the
station so he could get back to Wimbledon in time for his dinner date, so I put
Ben in charge and left the puzzlers at it… and when I got back from the
station, somewhat drenched from the superbly ill-timed downpour that arrived just as
I was escorting Dick into the station, everyone was still puzzling furiously –
in fact, had I not told them I was going out for an hour, I suspect that none
of them would have been any the wiser!
Simon entertained us with a set of rebuses (rebii!) that his
daughter had created and several times you'd see a flash of recognition when
someone was sounding out various words and suddenly they would join together to
form the title of a well-know movie… good fun and rather well designed, and drawn, by
I did learn one very important lesson that day: NEVER.
EVER. Tell puzzlers that a particular disentanglement requires a little force!
I'd left out an intertwined pair of C's and mentioned that
they were a bit stiff so a little force might be required… seems that form then on, anything
was fair game and the resulting entanglement wasn't untangled for the rest of
the day… in fact it took Louis and I about half an hour, WITH A VICE, the
following morning to encourage the unnaturally joined pieces apart … then we
spent a little while tuning the pieces so that excess force would never again
be required… probably serves me right for not doing that before they all
Another brilliant day's puzzling with good friends...
BTW did anyone, by any chance, end up with an extra copy of Dick's new book inscribed to me - I can't find it anywhere...

As you know, your dentist recommends fluoride toothpaste because fluoride prevents cavities. Fluoride bonds with the calcium and phosphate ions in our tooth enamel, repairing weak spots. Even better, this new bond is stronger and more cavity-resistant than enamel alone.
When it comes to preventing gum disease as well as fighting cavities, though, not all fluoride formulas are the same. The common go-to ingredient in gum-healthy toothpastes is stannous fluoride. Like the more commonly used sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride reduces the risk of cavities and strengthens tooth enamel.
Whitening Toothpaste
Unlike bleaching products, which contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, whitening toothpaste only cleans the enamel rather than changing the color of your teeth. To obtain the benefits of whitening toothpaste, you need to use it regularly.
If a whitening toothpaste meets the ADA standards and contains fluoride, the next step is to clear it with your dentist. Whitening toothpaste often contains abrasives to remove surface stains. Though abrasives are an effective aid in tooth whitening, they may not be recommended if you have weak tooth enamel.
Specialty Toothpaste
In certain situations, your dentist may suggest or prescribe specialty toothpaste, depending on your oral health needs. For example, patients who are prone to tooth decay and cavities despite frequent brushing and flossing may benefit from prescription-strength fluoridated toothpaste to help prevent the weakening of tooth enamel. Others who suffer from tooth sensitivity may benefit from the use of desensitizing toothpaste.
Toothpaste for Children
Before a child can spit, use toothpaste without fluoride. This is an ideal time to use toothpaste with xylitol. Xylitol should be listed as the first ingredient; this way you'll get the almost medicinal property of this natural sweetener. After you have found the right type of toothpaste, consider its flavor. The best kind of toothpaste is one that will be used, so choose a flavor that your child will love.

The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera at the end of the robotic arm of NASA's Curiosity rover will use a calibration target attached to a shoulder joint of the arm.
This image combines a close-up of the calibration target with a view of the rover to illustrate the target's location on the rover. The MAHLI calibration target includes a penny, color chips, a metric standardized bar graphic, and (just below the penny) a stair-step pattern for depth calibration.
NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission launched on Nov. 26, 2011. It will deliver the rover Curiosity to Gale Crater on Mars in August 2012. With MAHLI and nine other science instruments, Curiosity will investigate whether the area has ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life.
Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, supplied MAHLI and three other cameras for the mission. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory mission for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington, and built Curiosity.

The Hebrew Bible and related ancient matters, with special attention to problems of philology and linguistic anthropology.
Saturday, May 07, 2011
Back to the Sources
The only way to do social or cultural theory in Near Eastern Studies is to go back and read the original theorists, alongside the textual sources. There's no middle ground. A survey or summary can show you where to look, but reading one instead of Weber, Benveniste or Lacan is a waste of your time. And just as you can only catch epigraphically unsound readings and get new readings by looking at the inscriptions and manuscripts yourself, you can only avoid a cookie-cutter reading of Weber on bureaucracy and come to your own understanding by working through the whole article in Economy and Society.

Semi-Automatic Whole-House Carbon Filtration System
Whole-House Carbon Filtration is Perfect for Homes with Municipally Treated Water
RainSoft filtration systems are designed to help solve special water treatment problems and are built for long life and trouble free operation. Available with either Hysulex™ or Super Hysulex™ filtration media for unsurpassed control of aesthetic chlorine and taste and odor.
The semi-automatic system requires no electricity. Regenerate the system whenever you want by simply turning the dial. Unlike other manual systems, you don't need to monitor the time and keep adjusting the valve.
Filtration System Features
Tank-Within-A-Tank Construction
Rugged tank is wound with miles of glass filament for extraordinary strength. Inside there's another tank of sanitary plastic so your drinking water will never touch the interior fiberglass surface.
Exclusive Composite Valve
Uses advanced NORYL™ composite material for enhanced strength and to protect the valve from expansion or shrinkage due to pressure and temperature demands.
Automatic Bypass During Regeneration
Eliminated the inconvenience of being without water.
Choice of Filter Media
HYSULEX is a highly activated carbon with acres and acres of surface area to absorb bad tastes and odors in your water.
SUPER HYSULEX™ Utilizes silver impregnated carbon, a more porous material than regular carbon; these carbons have highly developed internal surface areas, providing greater capacity for absorption. Manufactured to be cleaner, strong, and harder than industry standard carbons.
The smart, economical way to enjoy the best water possible.
Application Limitations
The rate of flow from the well pump must be greater than the required backwash rate. The water to be filtered should be free of oil and suspended matter and relatively free of iron and turbidity for maximum service life for taste and odor reduction. Actual results may vary based on local water conditions.
Maintenance Requirements
Filtering Media will eventually become
exhausted or consumed and need replacement. Replacement schedule will depend on incoming water quality and amount of water used. Your local RainSoft dealer can provide you with the recommended replacement schedule for your particular application.
Control Valves The regeneration valve is designed to last a lifetime. From time to time it may be necessary to clean, lubricate or replace some parts. Your water quality and the amount of regenerations will affect this schedule.

Republican legislatures flex muscles to maintain power in two closely divided states
Sep 17, 2023, 9:01 PM
RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) — In 2020, North Carolina seemed the model of an evenly-divided swing state. Then-President Donald Trump barely won, beating Democrat Joe Biden by just over a percentage point. Meanwhile, the state's Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, won reelection by a relatively comfortable 5 points.
Even last year, as Republicans won two seats on the state Supreme Court, North Carolina's congressional delegation split evenly between Democrats and the GOP.
But it's the Republican Party that is making the decisions in the state, thanks to recent seat gains in the legislature and aggressive stances from GOP lawmakers. It has passed voting changes over Democrats' objections and this week could vote to wrest power from the governor over how the state's elections are run.
In both cases, Republicans are expected to override the governor's veto thanks to their legislative supermajorities.
Those major changes will come on the heels of similar power plays by the Republican legislative majority in Wisconsin, another battleground state where the GOP has lost a series of statewide races.
Republican lawmakers there are trying to fire the state's nonpartisan elections director and are considering impeaching a newly elected justice on the state Supreme Court. Her victory earlier this year gave the court a liberal majority that could strike down the Republican gerrymander that has given the party its outsized statehouse clout. Wisconsin voters have elected Democrats to all but one of the statewide executive offices that are decided on a partisan basis.
While both parties engage in gerrymandering, the dynamics in North Carolina and Wisconsin go beyond mere redistricting fights and offer a vivid illustration of how Republicans are attempting to maintain power regardless of their level of support among voters. The moves could give the GOP disproportionate influence over everything from partisan redistricting to the certification of next year's presidential election.
"The fact that these are both purple states is ironically what leads to the brass knuckles politics we see in Wisconsin and North Carolina," said Chris Cooper, a political scientist at Western Carolina University. In both states, he said, Republican politicians feel "they need to act because they could legitimately lose power."
Republicans in Wisconsin and North Carolina are aided by their parties' geographic distribution during statehouse elections. Democrats are clustered in two metro areas of each state — Milwaukee and Madison in Wisconsin, and Charlotte and the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina. That makes it more likely that even fairly drawn legislative districts covering urban areas will be overloaded with Democrats, leaving fewer of the party's voters to compete elsewhere and giving the GOP an edge in the remaining seats.
In North Carolina, even with the congressional delegation splitting evenly last year, Republicans won close to a supermajority of seats in the state legislature. They achieved that status this year when a Democratic House member switched her party.
Michael Bitzer, a political science professor at North Carolina's Catawba College, said less than 15% of the precincts were competitive statewide in 2022.
"It doesn't take much creativity to tilt districts one way or another," he said.
The GOP-controlled North Carolina General Assembly had tried to tilt districts more aggressively, drawing maps that favored them even more. Their plan was struck down by the Democratic majority on the state Supreme Court as an illegal gerrymander.
But Republicans are now in the majority on the court, which has signaled that the legislature is clear to draw the districts to more aggressively favor the party next year. That could lock in their supermajority status for several more election cycles.
That's occurring as the legislature muscles through two election bills that are propelled partly by Republican voters' lingering beliefs of Trump's lies that voter fraud cost him the 2020 election. One bill would end the state's three-day grace period for mailed ballots arriving after Election Day and loosen poll-watching rules in a way that critics worry could lead to intimidation of voters.
The other is potentially more consequential. It would strip the governor of the power to appoint members of the state election board and give that authority to the legislature.
Bill proponents say having leaders of both major parties picking equal numbers of board members would promote bipartisanship and consensus election policies.
But critics say having a board split evenly between the two parties would lead to gridlock, creating a situation where the stalemates would be settled by the Republican-controlled legislature or the Republican-dominated courts — a possibility that could include next year's presidential contest.
The legislation also could lead to the possible ouster of the state's respected elections director just months before the presidential election. There have been no widespread problems or concerns with voting in North Carolina under her watch.
"I've spoken out against these moves that are not about election security," Cooper told reporters this past week. "They are only about keeping and gaining power for Republicans."
Republicans contend the legislature should have more supervision of voting and other key regulatory functions. A bill already vetoed by Cooper would erode his appointment powers to boards that set electricity rates, make environmental policies and build roads.
"The legislature is the elected body closest to the people of North Carolina and has the ability to recruit a qualified, diverse roster of appointees," Republican state Sen. Warren Daniel, a sponsor of the broader appointments bill, said recently.
That's been a theme of North Carolina governance for centuries. The state has stood out for having an unusually strong legislature and weak governor, who was the last in the nation to be able to veto legislation, only gaining that power in 1997.
"Our state was founded with the notion that the legislative branch would be the branch with the most authority," House Speaker Tim Moore told reporters in June. "Our state's not set up with three separate co-equal branches. It was clearly contemplated and spelled out in the (state) Constitution that the legislative branch was to have the most authority because it's the closest to people."
That stands in sharp contrast with Wisconsin, where until recently the Legislature acted like a fairly typical law-making body. But since Republicans won the statehouse in 2010 and drew heavily gerrymandered maps that guaranteed their party's control of both chambers, the Legislature has become increasingly confrontational with the states' Democratic governor, Tony Evers.
Republican lawmakers blocked Evers from installing many appointees on state boards. Last week, the state Senate voted to fire the state's nonpartisan election director, drawing an immediate legal challenge. After voters overwhelmingly elected a Democratic-backed justice to the state Supreme Court earlier this year, flipping the majority from conservative to liberal for the first time in 15 years, the Legislature threatened to impeach her — even before she had heard a case.
Last week, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos offered to drop the impeachment if Democrats agreed to a new redistricting process he cast as nonpartisan, something Evers rejected as a sham proposal. To Dale Schultz, a former Republican state senator, the sharpness of Evers' rejection symbolized the depths to which Wisconsin politics have plunged.
"Nobody wants half a loaf; they'd rather starve," Schultz said. He reserved most of his scorn, however, for the Legislature's maneuvers.
"We see increasingly desperate measures to hang onto power," he said.
Riccardi reported from Denver. Associated Press writers Scott Bauer and Harm Venhuizen in Madison, Wisconsin, contributed to this report.

Happy Cesar Chavez's Birthday!
He is risen, and the occasion is memorialized at Google (via Twitchy):
Turns out they've almost never run doodles on Easter, and the one time they did, it was with a secular theme. It also appears that they don't have Christmas doodles (or, to be fair, Ramadan or Kwanzaa or Hannukkah doodles either). At Christmastime you get the inoffensive, politically correct "Happy Holidays" themes. Other religious holidays or festivals, like Passover, are largely snubbed. As you browse through their collection, you see a lot of "Bangladesh Independence Day" or "Joseph von Eichendorff's 225th Birthday" type themes, but almost nothing for religious holidays. Unless the holiday has been completely secularized, like St. Patrick's Day or Valentine's Day. Those are apparently kosher, er, I mean, acceptable.
So enjoy this very special day: Cesar Chavez's birthday. And please. Don't over-commercialize the day. Remember to take a moment to stop, bow your head, and have a moment of prayer for the continued vitality of the United Farm Workers.

I want to create some of the fundamental guideline formulas for a game I am working on. I am following on from sirlin's advice in that I am starting with some assumptions and working back from there.
So let's say that I want to have the player do an average of 1000hp damage at level 100 and 10 at level one. Is there a tool that I could use to draw this (a low exponential curve) and it would spit out a formula based on the curve?
There are some similar questions on here but none that I can find with any advice on the specifics of making the formulas for these progress curves.

We sent out requests to 3 or 4 companies & the only company who bothered to respond to us was Anthony's Shade sails. They not only attended the property within a day they provide a very reasonable quote the very next day. Only 3 weeks after we approved the quote the shade sail was completed & installed . Our owner is very impressed with the quality of the sail & the service provided. I will be
Staff were great and I couldn't be happier with the double shade sale they built and installed over my children's playground!
Sensational service, very quick turn around, 100% happy with end product, Ladies in office very professional with my payment process. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Great service from everyone involved. We knew what we wanted & they made it happen. Very, very happy with the end result guys. Thank you all so much.
Anthony Shade Sails were fantastic. Showed up on time and completed a site check and designed a solution for our beach house that was complimentary to the structure. Price was very reasonable . The work was completed on time. Custom made shade sails are not do it yourself types. My wife and I couldn't have been happier with the quality and design. Quality product.
Thank you to the staff at Anthony Shade Sails. We're delighted with our new shade sail that was installed this week. The whole process was very easy and the turn around from quote to installation was very quick. The two installers that attended our job are a credit to your company, they were polite, happy, did not muck around, and got on with the job. The house looks totally different and modern. We love the outcome. Thanks again! - By

Rick Osborne On Database Indexing And SQL Best Practices
Over Thanksgiving, I wrote a blog post on the importance of database performance in data-driven applications. I had stated that since the database calls were most often the bottleneck in an application, it is absolutely essential that I, as a software developer, have really good SQL skills. I vented that I don't know nearly enough about database indexing and how SQL statements should be prepared in relation to index structures.
In the comments to my blog entry, Rick Osborne gave me some really awesome insight and tips on best practices. Rick always has great stuff to say and I wanted to take a few minutes just to summarize his comments here in case anyone missed them in the previous post.
To keep things simple, you should almost never have to rewrite queries based on how your indexes are set up. Almost. There are edge cases where you *can* be forced to, but those are endgame cases. Most of the time it is the other way around: write your queries, run them, then see if you need to tweak the indexes.
Until you get to very large databases with millions of rows, ignore anyone who tells you that too many indexes will slow down Inserts and Updates. That was true 20 years ago, but is not an issue now for most small- to mid-sized databases.
Most indexes are dead simple. "Does this column show up in my WHERE clause more than a couple times?". Yes? Index it.
3a. The counter-argument for the last one is "will an index here actually do anything for me?" and has to do with selectivity.
Selectivity in a nutshell: Your data is a card catalog in a library. (Remember those things?) Or a filing cabinet full of manila folders. An index is the tabs on the cards or folders that helps you find what you are looking for. Selectivity is the ratio of unique keys to the total number of rows.
Say you have 100 rows in your table and two columns that you are thinking about indexing, AA and BB. If AA has 2 unique values, its selectivity is 2/100. Similarly, if BB has 20 unique values, its selectivity is 20/100. Go back to the card catalog example: you have either 2 tabbed divider cards or 20 tabbed divider cards. Which is going to help you find data faster? The 20, right? That column has higher selectivity, and is thus going to get you to your data faster. The 2-tab index is almost useless. (And, in some cases, can actually make your query run slower.)
In most modern DBMSes, you almost don't need to index as long as you have Primary *and* Foreign keys set up. Joins are where indexes really shine, so proper keying will get you 90% of the way there. Set them up then go back to your "what's always in the WHERE clause?" and you're 99% of the way there.
Covering indexes are mid-advanced juju magic, and are especially awesome for data-driven apps. A covering index simply means that your query only uses data from an index and thus never has to go to the actual table. For example, you might create a covering index on your Users table that includes Username, Password, and IsActive. It seems like the index would only need to cover the Username as that's the real key, but if you include all three then a simple login-validation query wouldn't need to go to the actual table, it could just use the index. Cool, huh? But, as I said, they are semi-advanced and should almost never be built into an app from Day One. They are an endgame optimization for when things start to get too popular and bog down.
Learn to use and love the "Show Estimated Execution Plan" in the MS SQL query analyzer. You'll learn how to tell the difference between the types of index operations (Seeks versus Scans, etc) and it'll help you grok how to better index. Similarly, the Index Tuning Wizard is great for helping you get started. You'll eventually learn that you can't always trust it, but it's not a bad place to start.
(continued from another comment; the following comments were made in response to my questions and the following sample SQL:)
contact c
job j
c.is_deleted = 0
c.id = j.contact_id
j.is_deleted = 0
j.contact_role_id = #ContactRoles.CEO#
Most engines will use only one index per join, so multi-column indexes are a must. In your example, if you had one index on is_deleted and another on contact_role_id, the optimizer is going to choose whichever is the better one and use it. You'd probably be best off to have a single index on (c.id, c.is_deleted) and another on (j.contact_id, j.is_deleted, j.contact_role_id). But, again, different optimizers are going to have different rules for how they use indexes.
- Yes, put as much of the filtering as you can in ON clauses. Not only does it put the conditions where they are most relevant, but in some engines you'll get orders of magnitude better performance. The DB2/400 optimizer is so dumb (how dumb is it?) that if you put the conditions in the WHERE instead of the ON it will do the joins first, no matter how big the tables, and then only apply the conditions at the end. For extremely large tables, this is a nightmare.
1a. I've gotten in the habit of ordering the conditions in the ON so that the foreign key parts are always last and the conditionals are always first. Again, I find that this helps the DB2/400 optimizer figure out that it needs to filter the tables before it joins them. In your specific example, you'd just move the (c.id = j.contact_id) to the end of the list.
1b. You might want to also play around with the order of the tables in the join. I find that some engines will execute a query faster if you order your tables from smallest to largest, while others are the exact opposite. Yeah, it seems like it shouldn't matter, but sometimes it does. (Of course, if you are talking about a lot of Outer joins, you may not have much of a chance for reordering.)
Some optimizers really want the ON or WHERE conditions to be in the order that the index is in. But some perform better as I outlined in 1a. That's really just something you're going to have to fool around with and see. (And no, the dream of having one query work perfectly on multiple engines is really just a dream.)
It's probably not a bad idea to develop the habit of having the index columns in the order of most to least selective. But, again, I've seen engines where it didn't matter in the slightest and all of the DBAs were in the habit of putting them in the same order as they were in the table.
This is some great information. I still have a ton of questions, but Rick gave me a lot to think about. I want to get more comfortable with this idea of database "selectivity." Looks like that's my next thing to research. Thanks Rick!

Selectivity? I've always heard what you're describing being called Cardinality.
Great post, thanks BenRick! One thing I remember being taught is to put your most restrictive conditionals first. e.g. in your example I'd maybe put
j.contact_role_id = #ContactRoles.CEO#
as the first clause
I believe that is true; I think that is what Rick is talking about when it refers to "Selectivity". I need to get a little bit better handle on what it means to be selective. I understand the concept in a general way, but I need to get into the actual meaning much more.
Very interesting. Nice post
It all comes down to which book you learned it from.
Cardinality, in terms of databases, can mean a few things. Not only is it used for counting distinct values, but also for counting total rows, and also how many relationships a key constraint can have. (That is, "one to one", "one to many", or "many to many".)
I use Selectivity instead of Cardinality to avoid the ambiguity.
I tried to take this concept of Selectivity and Cardinality and run with it:
How does the grouping of table-specific conditions come into play? Should all conditions for a given table be grouped in order to better leverage indexing?
Check out the O'Reilly book SQL Cookbook. That has some great examples of query situations. That at least for me have paid for the book many times over.
I really like that they give examples in all the major Db types too.
I think we might have that in our company library. I'll double check, thanks.
Just a quick comment to say "thanks" for posting this -- very helpful!

Fans Warned 'Don't Taunt Di Canio'
11 April 2013, 13:29 | Updated: 30 March 2016, 13:50
Newcastle United fans have been warned by police not to taunt Paolo Di Canio, the manager of hated rivals Sunderland, with fascist salutes
The North East Premier League clubs meet on Sunday at St James' Park, with supporters from both sides relishing the chance to mock the other. But police have warned fans against using racist of offensive gestures during the derby match.
Di Canio's controversial appointment led former foreign secretary David Miliband to step down from Sunderland's board because of the Rome-born manager's "past political statements''.
The 44 year old was fined and handed bans for making right-arm salutes to fans in 2005 when he was a Lazio player.
Since he joined Sunderland as Martin O'Neill's replacement, he issued a statement denying he was a racist adding
"I do not support the ideology of fascism''.
Ahead of the Tyne-Wear derby, operations commander chief superintendent Steve Neill, said:
"Offensive gestures, particularly those with a suggestion of racist connotations, are completely unacceptable and we will take positive action against anyone seen acting in an offensive or racist manner.
While some individuals may see this sort of behaviour as a means of poking fun at opposing fans - it is not a joke.
Offensive behaviour can constitute a criminal offence and such behaviour is taken seriously.
Football matches are routinely monitored by CCTV and even if action is not taken during the match, it can be checked retrospectively and we have demonstrated on numerous previous occasions our ability to trace offenders and put them before the courts, which can lead to a criminal record and possible football banning order.
I would urge fans to act responsibly and reflect upon the impact any form of disorder or offensive behaviour has on others, themselves, the reputation of both clubs and the North East.''

Content Packaging v1.2 Public Draft v2.0 specification describes data structures that can be used to exchange data between systems that wish to import, export, aggregate, and disaggregate packages of content. IMS content packages enable exporting content from one learning content management system or digital repository and importing it into another while retaining information describing the media in the content package and how it is structured, such as a table of contents or which web page to show first. The Content Packaging Specification focuses on the packaging and transport of resources but doesn't determine the nature of those resources. This is because the specification allows adopters to gather, structure, and aggregate content in an unlimited variety of formats.
Content Packaging v1.2 is undergoing standardisation by ISO/IEC. We expect the ISO/IEC version to be voted on as a full standard in late November 2009. However, there will be a delay before the ISO/IEC documents are available to buy.
The technical information is identical to that adopted by ISO/IE; only the descriptive information and format is changed.

- Conflicting information on <organizations> - confirm that the <organizations> element must occur once in a manifest;
- Clarification on the order of elements in a manifest - state that the XML Binding imposes the implied order described in the Information Model;
- Typographic corrections in the best practice document - editorial correction for one of the examples demonstrating the usage of the 'isvisible' attribute;
- Removal of reference to the <variation> element - ensure that there are no reference to the <variation> element;
- Correction for online validation of the examples - amend the examples to ensure that the online validation works correctly;
- Clarification on the length for the string contained in the 'href' attribute - clarify the interaction of the 'href' and 'xml:base' attributes and the consequence on the maximum length of the HRef created;
- Clarification on the usage of external meta-data in Best Practice Guide - state that the support for external meta-data requires the usage of an extension;
- Placing and scope of meta-data with a content package - state that the aggregation etc. of the different sets of meta-data within a content package is an implementation independent feature;
- The normative parameter construction algorithm is not complete - correction of the algorithm that uses parameters to create an HRef;
- Clarification on the usage of local and remote XSDs for instance validation - explain which XML control files need to be placed in the root of the content package;
- Explain how 'xml:base' should be used in sub-manifests - clarify the usage of the 'xml:base' attribute with sub-mainfests;
- More guidance or requirements are needed to explain sub-manifest merging process - provide guidance on how sub-manifests can be merged;
- Clarification on the use of the default attribute on the <organizations> element - state that the default attribute must point to a direct child <organization> in the manifest;
- Sub-manifest referencing using the <dependency> element - state that this element cannot point to something in a sub-manifest;

The Content Packaging Specification provides the functionality to describe and package learning materials, such as an individual course or a collection of courses, into interoperable, distributable packages. Content Packaging addresses the description, structure, and location of online learning materials and the definition of some particular content types.
The Content Packaging Specification is aimed primarily at content producers, learning management system vendors, computing platform vendors, and learning service providers. Learning materials described and packaged using the Content Packaging XML format should be interoperable with any tool that supports the Specification. Content creators can develop and distribute material knowing that it can be delivered on any compliant system, thereby protecting their investment in rich content development.
Final Version 1.1.2 of the Content Packaging Specification was released to the public in August 2001, and is comprised of three documents. It contains some editorial errata and provides additional clarification to several issues as requested by implementers and working group members.

Women tend to choose non-math-intensive fields for their careers -- not because they lack mathematical ability, but because they want flexibility to raise children or prefer less math-intensive fields of science, reports a new Cornell study.
"A major reason explaining why women are underrepresented not only in math-intensive fields but also in senior leadership positions in most fields is that many women choose to have children, and the timing of child rearing coincides with the most demanding periods of their career, such as trying to get tenure or working exorbitant hours to get promoted," said lead author Stephen J. Ceci, professor of human development at Cornell.
Women with advanced math abilities choose non-math fields more often than men with similar abilities, he added.
Women also tend to drop out of scientific fields -- especially math and physical sciences -- at higher rates than do men, particularly as they advance, because of their need for greater flexibility and the demands of parenting and caregiving, said co-author Wendy M. Williams, Cornell professor of human development.
"These are choices that all women, but almost no men, are forced to make," she said.
The study, published in the March issue of the American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin (135:2), is an integrative analysis of 35 years of research on sex differences in math. Ceci and his Cornell co-authors reviewed more than 400 articles and book chapters to better understand why women are underrepresented in such math-intensive science careers as computer science, physics, technology, engineering, chemistry and higher mathematics.
Women today comprise about 50 percent of medical school classes; yet women who enter academic medicine are less likely than men to be promoted or serve in leadership posts, the authors report. As of 2005, only 15 percent of full professors and 11 percent of department chairs were women. Non-math fields are also affected: For example, only 19 percent of the tenure-track faculty members in the top 20 philosophy departments are women.
The authors concluded that hormonal, brain and other biological sex differences were not primary factors in explaining why women were underrepresented in science careers, and that studies on social and cultural effects were inconsistent and inconclusive. They also reported that although "institutional barriers and discrimination exist, these influences still cannot explain why women are not entering or staying in STEM careers," said Ceci. "The evidence did not show that removal of these barriers would equalize the sexes in these fields, especially given that women's career preferences and lifestyle choices tilt them toward other careers such as medicine and biology over mathematics, computer science, physics and engineering."
The analysis, which also was conducted with Susan Barnett, Ph.D. '04, a visiting scholar at Cornell, also found that "Women would comprise 33 percent of the professorships in math-intensive fields if it was based solely on being in the top 1 percent of math ability, but they currently comprise less than 10 percent," Ceci said.
Science, technology, engineering and math are not the only professions affected by women's career choices, said the authors. Women are still underrepresented in the top positions of such fields as medicine, law, biology, psychology, dentistry and veterinary science.
The authors recommended that universities and companies create options for women with math talents who want to pursue math-intensive careers. These could include deferred start-up of tenure-track positions and part-time work that segues to full-time tenure-track work for women who are raising children, and courtesy appointments for women unable to work full time but who would benefit from use of university resources (e-mail, library resources, grant support) to continue their research from home.
