Introduction to SQL Code Writing
In the previous lesson, we learned different ways of connecting to a server. After establishing a connection, you can take actions, such as creating a database and/or manipulating data.
The Structured Query Language, known as SQL, is a universal language used on various computer systems to create and manage databases.
Like other non-platform specific languages such as C/C++, Pascal, or Java, the SQL you learn can be applied to various database systems. To adapt the SQL to Microsoft SQL Server, the company developed Transact-SQL as Microsoft's implementation of SQL. Transact-SQL is the language used internally by Microsoft SQL Server and MSDE. Although SQL Server highly adheres to the SQL standards, it has some internal details that may not be applied to other database systems like MySQL, Oracle, or even Microsoft Access, etc; although they too fairly conform to the standard.
The SQL we will learn and use here is Transact-SQL. In other words, we will assume that you are using Microsoft SQL Server as your platform for learning about databases. This means that, unless specified otherwise, most of the time, on this site, the word SQL refers to Transact-SQL or the way the language is implemented in Microsoft SQL Server.
As a computer language, the SQL is used to give instructions to an internal program called an interpreter. As we will learn in various sections, you must make sure you give precise instructions. SQL is not case-sensitive. This means that CREATE, create, and Create mean the same thing. It is a tradition to write SQL's own words in uppercase. This helps to distinguish SQL instructions with the words you use for your database.
As we will learn in this and the other remaining lessons of this site, you use SQL by writing statements. To help you with this, Microsoft SQL Server provides the SQL Query Analyzer application. In the previous lesson, we saw different ways to open it. When it comes up, by default, it displays a blank window you can use to write your code:
By default, when the SQL Query Analyzer comes up, it display a blank child window named Query. The name is followed by a dash, the name of the computer (the server). From now on, we will refer to the child window as the Query window. This is where you would be writing code when you are working in the SQL Query Analyzer:
The white area allows you to write code. Besides the usual title bar, the system buttons and the scroll bars, the Query window is equipped with a status bar divided in different sections. Each section has a specific and informing role that can assist you while you are working. To know what a section is displaying, you can position the mouse on it and a tool tip would come up:
As mentioned above, when the SQL Query Analyzer comes up, it displays a blank Query window made of only one white area. After writing code, you can execute it. To execute code, on the toolbar of SQL Query Analyzer, you can click the Execute Query button or you can press F5. After executing code, the Query window gets divided in two sections:
The top part allows you to type statements. The lower part is used to display a result, depending on the expression. The lower part is also made of two property pages labeled Grids and Messages. The Grids property page is used to show results that need to display on a sheet-like interface. Here is an example:
The Messages property page is used to show a result that appears as regular line-based and paragraphed text. Here is an example:
In the same way, the Messages section is used to display the errors resulting from interpreting your code. When this happens, indication of the error occurrence would appear in red and the name of the error would appear under it:
You can also use the top and the bottom parts to perform a test. For example, you can enter a test statement in the upper section and execute it to have the result displayed in the lower part.
An alternative to the SQL Query Analyzer is the SQL Server Enterprise manager. This application is more "visual" and is user-friendlier than SQL Query Analyzer. Still, we will learn that, in some cases, such as troubleshooting procedures or when performing data analysis, the SQL Server Enterprise Manager can offer some windows that allow you to write code.
Accessories for SQL Code Writing
The End of a Statement
In SQL, after writing a statement, you can end it with a semi-colon. Here is an example:
PRINT 'Microsoft SQL Server Database Development';
Many SQL environments require the semi-colon. If you want to execute many statements in the SQL Query Analyzer, you can write them once. Here is an example:
CREATE DATABASE CountriesStatistics USE CountriesStatistics
This statement will not work:
The problem here is that, when the interpreter encounters these two lines, it would execute all of them at once and in fact would treat both lines as one expression. When the statements are executed, some of them must come after others. To separate statements, that is, to indicate when a statement ends, you can use the GO keyword (in reality and based on SQL standards, it is the semi-colon that would be required, but the Microsoft SQL Server interpreter accepts GO as the end of a statement). Therefore, the above two statements can be performed separately but with one execution as follows:
CREATE DATABASE CountriesStatistics GO USE CountriesStatistics GO
This time, when you execute the code, it would work fine
A comment is text that an interpreter would not consider as code. As such, a comment is written any way you like. What ever it is made of would not be read.
Transact-SQL supports two types of comments. The style of comment that starts with /* and ends with */ can be used. To apply it, start a line with /*, include any kind of text you like, on as many lines as you want. To close the commented section, type */. Here is an example of a line of comment:
/* First find out if the database we want to create exists already */
A comment can also spread on more than one line, like a paragraph. Here is an example:
/* First find out if the MotorVehicleDivision database we want to create exists already. If that database exists, we don't want it anymore. So, delete it from the system. */
Transact-SQL also supports the double-dash comment. This comment applies to only one line of text. To use it, start the line with --. Anything on the right side of -- is part of a comment and would not be considered as code. Here is an example:
-- ============================================= -- Database: MotorVehicleDivision -- ============================================= /* First find out if the MotorVehicleDivision database we want to create exists already. If that database exists, we don't want it anymore. So, delete it from the system. */ -- Now that the database is not in the system, create it

【zt:briefing.com】S P futures vs fair value: -0.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -2.80. (股市)
published on wuwei.ca at 2015-03-23 09:18, topic link: http://wuwei.ca/index.php?id=21835
The stock market is on track for a flat open as futures on the S P 500 trade within a point of fair value. Index futures have spent some time on each side of their flat lines, slipping to lows after markets in Europe opened for action. However, the early weakness was short-lived and futures have been able to return to unchanged while markets in Europe remain pressured.
Last week, the Dollar Index (97.29, -0.62) registered its first decline in five weeks and the greenback is surrendering ground to its peers once again today. Most notably, the euro is higher by 0.8% at 1.0905 (+85 pips) while the yen has added 0.1% (16 pips) against the dollar (119.87). The euro could remain active as Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is scheduled to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin today in an attempt at creating a sustainable solution to Greece's problems. Also of note, the Financial Times has obtained a copy of a letter sent by Mr. Tsipras to Ms. Merkel, in which the Greek premier warns that Athens could miss its impending debt payments.
Domestically, corporate news has been relatively light, but the biotech space is likely to struggle early as Gilead Sciences (GILD 100.15, -2.14) trades lower by 2.1% in pre-market after Bloomberg reported that some patients who had been taking Gilead's hepatitis C drugs in combination with certain heart drugs have developed complications. Treasuries hold modest gains with the 10-yr yield lower by a basis point at 1.92%.
The Existing Home Sales report for February (Briefing.com consensus 4.90 million) will be released at 10:00 ET.

So I have been giving quite a bit of thought about what to post, I like sewing, knitting, crochet and embroidery... so I wasn't sure which way to go... but there is one common thing in all the crafts I make, and it is that I don't like to waste... I work with such beautiful fabric, yarn and threads... that I don't like seeing much of them in the bin...
I have been working lately on a herringbone quilt top and cutting biased edges on the rectangular blocks means lots and lots of little triangles were lying around ready for the bin...and all the time while sewing I kept asking myself what to do with them... I really did not want to let them go...
So I came up with the Scrappy Piping idea for the matching cushions...
What do you need?
Tiny little scraps of all sort, it can be from one project (like mine) or from many different projects for a multicolour look. In any shape and size they will all work great (but I used the tiny little ones that normally go to the bin). And you will also need piping cord and a project that could use some piping like bags, pillow cases, etc.
Step 1 - Start sewing those little scraps in pairs, right sides facing together. You are looking for their longer side (my triangles had a side that measured 3 and a bit inches, so I went for that one as the seam). You may want to try to get a smaller seam allowance than normal, to maximise the use of the fabric. Chain sewing is the ideal method to get them done as quickly as possible. Press seams open.
Step 3 - I cut my piping stips at 1.5 inches, so I squared up my stripes to 3 inches and then cut them in half. If you didn't manage to make a 3 inch wide strip with your scraps then just cut it to 1.5 inches.
To prepare it for the actual piping I suggest to roll it up like this.
Step 4 - Now you can just use your normal method for preparing the piping, just be careful that you are working with lots of seams and there may be some fabric bulk in the process, so suggest going a bit slower than normal. I use my zip foot and go to the sewing machine with the cord and the fabric roll. And as I sew the fabric around the cord as I go (I do not use pins, it just takes to much time).
And voila, you have the piping cord ready to use in your next project. I will be showing you all the pillow covers I made for my bedroom a little later this week, but here is a sneak peak:

Privileged Spoiler: Rose's New Man CastEric Hochberger at . Comments
It looks like Rose's next love interest (so long Max!) has been cast and it's going to be... Dave Franco! Dave is the younger brother of movie star James Franco and has recently been in the short lived Do Not Disturb and on ABC Family's Greek.
Dave has been cast for multiple episodes starting in early 2009 as Rose's love interest so here's hoping things work out for these two cuties!

I have been trying to push the boat out on the Word Bearers Conversions. Above is the finalized version of my Chaos Lord although I may consider adding a Trophy Rack to his backpack as no self respecting Chaos Warlord can go without a few loyalists skulls about his person.
Read on to see the new conversions for the Sorcerer and first squad of Word Bearer Chaos Space Marines.
I saw this model and thought it would make a good Sorceror. My plan was to remove the freak from his side and covert it up as a more traditional model. However, when I started working on the model I jsut couldn't bring myself to do it. So now this guy shall be taking a Familiar as his wargear seeing as I have really warmed to the lil weirdo.
Next is a Chaos Champion Conversion. I had built and almost painted a squad of Word Bearers converted from Dark Angel Veteran Bodies but with the new Warriors of Chaos Conversions I have added to the army they just didn't fit in anymore (I shall be finishing them and putting them on Ebay though so if anyone wants them let me know).
I am really quite happy with this guy. Proper kitbash here with a variety of parts... head from Chaos Warshrine, body from Chaos Warriors, backpack and shoulder pad from Chaos Space Marines, claws from the Raptors and Legion pad is actually a Grey Knight pad (open book is the old Word Bearers symbol).
Green stuff work was needed to patch up the hacked up areas of the Warrior of Chaos body. This will become a little more precise as I work through the models but I am quite happy with the result.
Personally I love the combination of the evil looking helmet and scissor hands claws. He screams Chaos Barbarian to me which is what I was aiming for.
I have had this banner from Tabletop art for a long time now waiting for the right project and this was perfect for the Word Bearers conversions. Only problem now is if I want another squad I need to find an equally epic Chaos Banner... anyone able to link me to something suitable?
Of course the mandatory full squad shot. Hopefully I shall have these guys up to a 10 man unit this eve and start work on the next squad.

Link to free webinar on ArcGIS Earth.
If you've ever used Google Earth you've no doubt loved how easy it is to use for exploring the globe and creating great visualizations. The new ArcGIS Earth product from Esri has many of the same Google Earth like functions plus a lot of the features you've used with ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Desktop.
ArcGIS Earth lets you explore the world in 3D and 2D formats and load your own data from various sources including KML, shapefiles, CSV files, ArcGIS Server, and ArcGIS Online. These data sources can be draped across the terrain for realistic 3D visualizations. You can also add various pre-created basemaps from ArcGIS Online.
In addition to displaying data in these formats you can also create sketches including points, lines, and polygons and add labels to these features. You can also measure features in 3D, search for addresses and known locations, print maps, and email views.
Touch navigation is also possible if you have a touch screen Windows device. Rather than using mouse for navigation you can just use your fingers to zoom in and out, pan, rotate the view, and adjust the camera angle.
And this is all in version 1.0 of ArcGIS Earth. In future releases you can expect to see additional functionality including map tours, offline use, timesliders, support for WMS, and much more!
In this half day class you'll learn how to put ArcGIS Earth as a new tool in your GIS toolbox.

Administrative Instructions under the Patent Cooperation Treaty
Section 708
Special Provisions Concerning Legibility,
Completeness, Infection by Viruses, Etc.
(a) Where an international application is filed in electronic form, the receiving Office shall promptly check whether the application is legible and whether it appears to have been fully received.20 Where the Office finds that all or part of the international application is illegible or that part of the application appears not to have been received, the international application shall be treated as not having been received to the extent that it is illegible or, where transmitted21 by electronic means, that the attempted transmission failed, and the Office shall, if practicable having regard to the indications furnished by the applicant,22 promptly notify the applicant accordingly.23, 24
(b) Where a purported international application is received in electronic form, the receiving Office shall promptly check it for infection by viruses and other forms of malicious logic.25 Where the Office finds that the purported application is so infected:
(i) the Office is not required to disinfect the purported application and may, under Section 703(e), refuse to receive it;
(ii) if the Office decides under Section 703(e) to receive the purported application, the Office shall use means reasonably available under the circumstances to read it, for example, by disinfecting it or preparing a backup copy under Section 706, and to store it in such a way that its contents may be ascertained if necessary;26
(iii) if the Office finds that it is able to read and store the purported application as mentioned in item (ii), it shall determine whether an international filing date should be accorded;
(iv) if the Office accords an international filing date to the application, it shall, if possible having regard to the indications furnished by the applicant, promptly notify the applicant and, if necessary, invite the applicant to submit a substitute copy of the application free of infection;
(v) if the Office accords an international filing date to the application, it shall prepare the home copy, the record copy and the search copy on the basis of the disinfected application, the backup copy or the substitute copy referred to in items (ii) or (iv), as applicable, provided that the application shall be stored by the Office, as referred to in item (ii), for the purposes of Rule 93.1.26
20 Editor's Note: The receiving Office is expected, of course, to take reasonable steps to attempt to read the application. The checking may be automated to the extent possible.
21 Editor's Note: The word "transmitted" is to be understood in a general sense as including transmittal by either electronic or physical means, noting that an international application may be filed on physical media (see Annex F, Appendix IV).
22 Editor's Note: The date of receipt will be determined according to the usual principles applicable to the filing of applications on paper, including filing by electronic means (such as by facsimile transmission).
23 Editor's Note: Where the International Bureau finds that the record copy of an international application filed in electronic form as received by it is illegible, it will notify the receiving Office which will then, where applicable, proceed under Section 708(a). Where the international application is treated as not having been received to the extent that it is illegible or that the attempted transmission failed, the receiving Office would then determine whether a filing date should be granted on the basis of that much of the application as was received.
24 Editor's Note: Numbers of provisions in the Regulations and Administrative Instructions require "prompt" official action. The question of what is "prompt" in given circumstances is not defined in absolute terms but should be explained in the PCT Receiving Office Guidelines. In the context of Section 704(a), the notification should generally issue in minutes rather than hours or days. The various indications referred to in the Section may in some cases have to be notified or confirmed at different times, for example, in the case of batch submissions of documents.
25 Editor's Note: Where the International Bureau finds that the record copy of an international application filed in electronic form as received by it is infected by a virus, it will notify the receiving Office which will then, where applicable, proceed under Section 708(b).
26 Editor's Note: Since the originally filed application may need to be referred to for evidentiary purposes, the receiving Office should if possible store it as filed, that is, in its infected state.

I need your help! WealthySingleMommy is up for a People's Choice Plutus Award – a kinda big-ish personal finance blogger award. Can you please take 15 seconds and nominate me? Just follow this link. Thank you!
Dear Emma, WTF?!
I really enjoy your blog, but I'm getting sick of your snotty advice. Sure, you've got it all going on: your great career and your beautiful kids and your fabulous life in New York. Well, guess what, not everyone had all the advantages you did. We all can't just become successful entrepreneurs hiring house cleaners and laundry service and babysitters while we go partying with our slutty single-mom girlfriends on weeknights.
I'm 24 and I have three kids ages 5 and under by two different guys — neither of whom is around. I always dreamed of becoming a teacher and had really good grades in high school. But instead of going to college I got pregnant. I live in a small town with a terrible economy and the only job I can find is at a daycare where I barely make enough money to get by. I would love to move to a bigger city — one with a university — get a teaching degree and start a new life around interesting people doing interesting things. But my whole family is here and this is all my kids know. I'm stuck, and I don't need you rubbing my face with your blog posts three times a week. In fact, most single moms would identify with me more than you. Go to hell.
Irate in Iowa
Dear Irate,
Every night when I tuck my kids into bed we do what we call, "SayWhatWe'reGratefulFor." We take turns listing a few things that we appreciate in our lives. With my daughter, I often include this:
"I'm grateful that we live in a time and place that women can do whatever we want."
Our grateful exercise is about reminding ourselves of how rich we are. I also use it to rid myself of excuses. If I recognize how abundant my life is, I find few reasons not to be happy.
On reading your letter, my first impulse was to give you a rundown of all the hard knocks I've suffered in life, and then tell you how I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and assure you that, Yes, you can do it, too! And all of that would be accurate, but here's the thing: You're right. I do have something that many people don't have: I had a mother and grandparents and aunts and uncles who supported my dreams to go on and do great things, even if we were all in a small town where things were far less than perfect and no one was doing anything that I thought was exciting. I had people who expected me to be who I wanted to be.
I can tell by your writing that you are very, very bright. You have a big personality (Who you telling to go to hell?!), and you have big dreams. Plus, you're pissed. This all makes for the momentum you need to make a change. Whatever happens next will be scary. You relocate with your kids, you move away from everything you know and risk falling on your face. Scary! Stay put and you risk hating yourself for the rest of your life for not living out your dream, becoming a (even more?) bitter person and mother and set forth the cycle of poverty and blame and excuses for your children. WAY MORE SCARY, right?
So here is what you will do:
1. Decide where you're moving. Not where you'd like to move. Where you will move.
2. Find the best education school in that city. Make an appointment and go to that school. Talk to the dean of admissions. Meet with someone in financial aid. Get a grip on what it will take to go there- financially, logistically.
3. Walk around the campus. Walk around the neighborhoods. Imagine what it will be like to live there. Look at the people. Won't they be cool to know? Take your kids. Talk about what it will be like to go to school there, play in the parks, eat in the restaurants. See it and feel it. This will be your new life.
4. Make a plan. Not a 10-year-maybe-if-I'm-lucky plan. A real plan for one year from now. Your plan will include making it happen financially — rent, a new job, and school for your kids and you. The plan will include you envisioning packing a moving truck, saying goodbye to your friends and old life, loading the kids up and the four of you driving down the freeway towards your dreams. Your vision will feel scary and thrilling and hopeful and even more scary. You will think of driving that moving truck down the freeway and feeling and thinking all of those things. The sun will be shining and you and your kids are laughing.
5. Read stories. Stories about people overcoming adversity. Oprah, J.K. Rowling, Jay-Z, David Geffen. Here's a run-down of 20 business leaders who started with nothing – even less than you in most cases. Being poor in America with dreams of teaching school in a city starts to become a normal, everyday thing.
6. Only tell your plan to a very few select people. Not people who may be jealous or doubtful and will steal your thunder. Maybe you don't have anyone like that. So you will email me, and I will forgive you for telling me to fuck off and write you back.
7. Take a moment and be grateful. Grateful that you are smart and willful and a determined mother. Be grateful that you have a city and education and career that you can dream about. Feel gratitude that you live in a time and place that as women, we can do whatever we want.
8. You will do it. And it will be so, so hard. And you will cry and want to give up. And then it will be OK. And you will not be able to believe that you ever thought about staying in your hometown.
9. When you are on your feet you will fly to New York and we will go out drinking. On a weeknight.

They are new telco company, which I first heard from Hitz.FM last year.
So I didn't really bother to know about the rates and benefits of Tune Talk mobile prepaid.
So now having a chance to review the Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid,
I get to know more info about
Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid.
Personally for me, I focus on the RATES telco company is offering.
As a consumer we should really know what are we paying for, and not just get attracted by the marketing messages that confuse the consumers .
Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid offers one Flat Rates nationwide
For every calls is 16sen/min
For every SMS is 5sen/SMS
and 5 sen/MB data
(call and SMS to all other telco company in Malaysia is at the same rate stated above)
(with this , we can avoid having 2 phones with 2 different service provider , convenient & easy ! )
This is what I like about Tune Talk,
Super low flat rates nationwide to any number, anytime!
You know it's getting more complicated now (you can switch your telco service company and also retain your number) whereby you don't know your friends are using the same telco services as yours.
So why not just choose a Flat rate prepaid?
That is not all , you will also get benefits like :
Free RM100,000 Personal Accidental Insurance Coverage underwritten by Etiqa
(You will have to top up a Minimum of RM30 within 30 days of activation and remain an active subscriber at least 60 days. Retain the snap off portion of your Sim card as it is your PA Certificate Number)
Earn Tune Talk points for AirAsia flights for every top up
(only Telco that rewards you with free Air Asia flights). Points NEVER expire.
Option to change your number anytime without changing SIM card.
For me, it's good if I want to avoid someone, just change the number easily through the website.
For RM30 top up , it is valid for 50 days
whereas RM50 is valid for 75 days.
(my current service provider offers RM30 valid for 30days and RM50 for 50 days)
Top Ups are available at Authorized Dealers Nationwide.
Lowest IDD rates is also available starting from 14sen per minute.
(It is good for foreigners who always call back to their country)
When I received the SIM pack, I'm stuck on how to activate and it seems like there is some problem.
So what I do is that I contacted the Website Live Chat.
Apparently, there is someone who really assist me.
First time get assist through Live Chat!
Thanks to the staff named Logan who assist me.
After sending an e-mail to them on that night itself, the next morning my account is activated, and I can start using Tune Talk mobile prepaid.
Based on my experience above, it's really an efficient customer service.
And for the network coverage, it seems quite stable cause it's using Celcom Network.
And for the network coverage, it seems quite stable cause it's using Celcom Network.
All rates and information are correct at time of published, subject to change from the company.

Hey everybody, this post is just to see if there would be any players in the community that would like to see SauerLeague again. All you have to do is take 10 seconds of your time to either vote in the poll, write a comment, or tell me somewhere else. If only like 5 guys say something, I'm not gonna waste my time (and money). The rules of the league are not yet set, so feel free to give feedback/suggestions as to what the league should be about it. Right now I'm just aiming to get some activity back into the game, not to worry so much about competition with the top players.

SSL Anti-Cheat
You all have guessed right, the next SSL event will premiere an anticheat client. pisto dusted off some code that was originally intended for sdos, and microwaved it for ssl.
This means that to participate in the September event you will be *required* to:
Which unproven/underrated/new player has the potential to rise to the top?
With the World Cup right around the corner, who do you think will become the new rising star?
You have 3 votes!

Map Discovery #4 – Arena of Death, by Suicizer
On March the 28th, Sauerworld will be hosting its first mapping contest. The challenge for this contest is to re-create an FPS map from a different game and build it in sauer. For this edition of map discovery, we will be reviewing a remake that was built based on the Quake Live map: hearth, which in itself, is a modified version of the original map q3dm3 from Quake III: Arena. We encourage you to participate and/or help guide you to see how a remake can be constructed in the Cube 2 engine.
Poll: What is your preferred ectf map
In the last poll we asked what value you have your field of view (FOV) set to? Personally I am surprised at how diverse the answer turned out to be. It's not surprising that a huge 57% of the votes went to a setting between 101 and 120, but what is surprising is that 13% of you said you kept the default setting!
Poll: FOV Setting
Last time we asked you if you had a favorite map for insta dueling, and the results are in! With 133 total votes this question was certainly debatable, although it seems that turbine was the clear favorite with complex and ot not too far behind.

Welcome to our third installment of the Map Discovery map reviews! This time we introduce you to the map "Origin", go ahead and read on for more info!

Los Angeles – Songwriters often bring us that song we need to express our feelings, to reflect, and maybe even to heal. This is true of the new maxisingle by artist Chuck Murphy from his Billboard-charting album "Peace Be With You" (www.chuckmurphy.net).
Immediately following its release, the maxisingle for "How Many Times" hit the Billboard Charts in a big way – #1 on the Singles Sales Chart! ( http://www.billboard.com/biz/charts/2017-03-04/hot-singles-sales )
"I know we've all lost something in life and stood there thinking, 'Where do I go from here?'," says Chuck Murphy about his new single "How Many Times".
The maxisingle, highlighting three distinct versions of this tender song, speaks to love and loss and that feeling of helplessness we have all experienced.
"How Many Times Have I Wanted?
How Many Times Have I Lost?
How Many Times Have I Stood on the Edge,
Without a Bridge to Cross?"
For complete lyrics, and more information about the "How Many Times" Maxi Single, click here: http://chuckmurphy.net/how-many-time-maxi-single
Chuck has released a music video for "How Many Times", which can be viewed on his YouTube channel:

Students take 20 Steps towards positive change in Bristol
Press release issued: 17 January 2014
A campaign to encourage students to lead more sustainable lifestyles will launch on Monday 27 January, led by the University of Bristol's Student Union groups, UBU Get Green and Bristol Hub.
The 20 Steps campaign invites students to make one meaningful change each week for a period of five months under the monthly themes of up-cycling, energy, food, transport and community.
Students will document their progress by uploading blogs, videos and photos to a central page on the 20 Steps website.
The campaign intends to encourage creativity and collaboration between students, with the aim that the more sustainability conscious will share good ideas and inspire those who currently make less regular efforts.
Small actions can be as simple as turning the heating down, reducing shower time, or cycling to university. Larger contributions may include up-cycling old clothes, reusing wine bottles to make lanterns, volunteering for FoodCycle or even hosting a meal using sustainable/local produce to educate others on where food comes from.
The manager of Bristol Hub, Eleri Dare-Edwards said: "20 Steps is a fantastic demonstration of students taking the initiative to address environmental problems. You don't have to be a 'greenie' to get involved, anyone can take part to make small but impactful changes to live more sustainably."
The themes have been guided by research undertaken by NUS Green Impact and have been selected to have a positive and measurable result.
Student engagement will be incentivised by accreditation by the NUS Green Impact award and through monthly prizes. At the end of the campaign the UBU Get Green Team will provide a quantitative measure of the environmental impact achieved.
The '20 Steps' campaign is expected to have a positive social impact on the student community and the wider local community.

William Hogarth's Industry and Idleness," Plate 11: "The Idle 'Prentice Executed at Tyburn." Designed and engraved by Hogarth in 1747; impression reproduced here published by William Heath in 1822. At the center of the image, note the woman selling broadsides.
Broadside. A sheet of paper printed on one side only or containing one large page without columns. The term is applied to such works as copies of a "last dying speech" of some celebrated criminal, and other similar street literature.
Walter Thomas Rogers. A Manual of Bibliography ... (1891), p. 188
Just as programs are sold at sporting events today, broadsides -- styled at the time as "Last Dying Speeches" or "Bloody Murders" -- were sold to the audiences that gathered to witness public executions in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain. These ephemeral publications were intended for the middle or lower classes, and most sold for a penny or less. Published in British towns and cities by printers who specialized in this type of street literature, a typical example features an illustration (usually of the criminal, the crime scene, or the execution); an account of the crime and (sometimes) the trial; and the purported confession of the criminal, often cautioning the reader in doggerel verse to avoid the fate awaiting the perpetrator.
The Library's collection of more than 500 broadsides is one of the largest recorded and the first to be digitized in its entirety. The examples digitized here span the years 1707 to 1891 and include accounts of executions for such crimes as arson, assault, counterfeiting, horse stealing, murder, rape, robbery, and treason. Many of the broadsides vividly describe the results of sentences handed down at London's central criminal court, the Old Bailey, the proceedings of which are now available online at http://www.oldbaileyonline.org.
Conservation and digitization of the broadsides was made possible in honor of Harvard Law School alumnus S. Allyn Peck by a generous grant from the Peck Stacpoole Foundation, a charitable endowment for the support of genealogical, local history, and other museum and library collections.

Encarnacion's 2 HRs power Indians past Red SoxThe Sports Xchange
August 14. 2017 10:00PM
BOSTON — Edwin Encarnacion crushed a pair of two-run homers as the Cleveland Indians beat the Boston Red Sox 7-3 on Monday night at Fenway Park.
Rookie Rafael Devers hit two homers for the Red Sox, giving him five in 16 games since making his major league debut on July 25.
Cleveland starter Trevor Bauer (11-8) struck out 11 in 6 2/3 innings. He gave up three runs (all on solo homers), seven hits and two walks.
In his past four starts, Bauer is 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA, giving up six combined runs with 33 strikeouts and four walks.
With the score tied in the fifth inning, Encarnacion turned on a fastball from Boston starter Doug Fister (2-6) and gave Cleveland a 5-3 lead.
With two outs in the sixth, Encarnacion launched a 96 mph fastball from Heath Hembree, Boston's third pitcher of the game, into the seats above the Green Monster for a 7-3 Indians advantage.
Jose Ramirez scored on both of Encarnacion's homers.
The Indians scored three runs in the second, highlighted by Francisco Lindor's two-run single, as they batted around while forcing Fister to throw 41 pitches in the inning. However, the damage could have been much greater. Cleveland left the bases loaded when Encarnacion popped out to end the inning.
The Red Sox tied the score with solo home runs in the second, third and fourth innings — with the two from Devers and another by rookie Andrew Benintendi.
The game was the makeup for an Aug. 2 rainout, the finale of what would have been a three-game series. The Red Sox won the first two games of the series.
NOTES: Indians LHP Andrew Miller (right patellar tendinitis) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance on Wednesday with Triple-A Columbus. If he comes through that outing without a problem, he could rejoin the Indians on Friday when they open a three-game series in Kansas City. ... Indians 2B Jason Kipnis was back in the starting lineup for the first time since Thursday after he tweaked his right hamstring. He was activated from the disabled on Aug. 5 after missing 22 games due to the same ailment. ... Cleveland S Francisco Lindor has reached base safely in 27 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the majors. ... Red Sox LHP David Price (left elbow inflammation) still has no timetable for a return. Manager John Farrell said Price must complete a progression of throwing from a mound and facing live batters before he can go out on a rehab stint. ... Boston LF Andrew Benintendi extended his hitting streak to eight games with a third-inning homer.

Cataract Surgery: Premium Lenses
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's internal lens, which interferes with the individual's ability to see clearly. At present, there is no way to eliminate a cataract other than surgically removing it. Virtually everyone undergoing cataract surgery will have a plastic lens implant placed in the eye to replace the eye's natural lens. This lens implant will take over the focusing function of the eye's original lens. Many people with cataracts, however, can see quite well, and are not in need of cataract surgery. It is only when the cataract impairs vision to the extent that activities like reading or driving become difficult that surgery may be necessary. More than one million cataract surgeries are performed each year in the United States. Cataract surgery has become one of the safest and most successful procedures in all of medicine. More than 95% of patients will obtain substantially improved vision after surgery, and the chance of problems due to the surgery, such as bleeding or infection, is less than one out of a hundred.
What To Expect
Cataract surgery is almost always an outpatient procedure, done under local anesthesia. Techniques vary widely, but the eye is always numbed completely with an anesthetic, and often a mild sedative is given to make the person undergoing surgery somewhat drowsy. The surgery is performed under a microscope to provide a magnified view of the eye. A small incision is made in the eye, and the front surface of the cataract is opened to allow access to the clouded tissue inside. The cloudy portion is then removed, leaving the thin clear back surface of the lens in place. This can be done either with a mechanical device called a phacoemulsifier or manually with extracapsular instruments. The lens implant is then placed in the shell of the natural lens, and the incision is closed.
Patients return home after surgery, and are usually examined the following day. Eye drops are used to accelerate the healing process and prevent infection, and patients are instructed to avoid any activity that could harm the eye while recovering from surgery.
Vision almost always improves greatly within 4-6 weeks, although many patients may see better within 1-2 weeks or less. Almost everyone will need a new glasses prescription after surgery, although it may be needed only for distance or for reading depending on the choice of lens implant power.

Looks really good mate, have you considered throwing some washes or glazes over your guys? I reckon a couple of coats of Agrax Earthshade (Devlan Mud) and a glaze of Bloodletter would help with definition. Any chance of some closer and sharper pics of the troops at all?

Composite plastic bushings combine thermoplastics, fibers and filaments, and solid lubricants for tailored bearing solutions with predictable life in a wide variety of applications.
These bushings operate without maintenance or external lubrication, resist corrosion and debris, fit precisely, and dampen vibrations while maintaining high compressive strength at a lower cost than comparable metal products.
Read on for the top 10 reasons to consider composite plastic bearings.
1. Lighter weight than metallic bearings
Swapping composite plastic bushings for metallic bushings can cut wall thickness by 25% or more. That's because metal bushings need additional thickness to compensate for their more rapid rate of wear. Add to that the difference in density between standard polymer materials and metals—1 to 3 g/cm3 vs. 7 to 9 g/cm3—and the weight reduction available with plastic bearings is obvious.
2. Corrosion-resistant
Metal-free iglide® plastic bushings don't rust, and most grades don't deteriorate in dilute acidic and basic solutions or in traditional lubricants. The iglide® product line also includes bushings that can resist hydrochloric acid and other concentrated acids, as well as high- energy and UV radiation. Chemical resistance can change with temperature and chemical concentration, so be sure to take your specific application conditions into account.
Plastic instead of metal: longer service life & 40% cost saving
3. No External lubricant necessary
iglide® plastic bushings are designed to run dry without adding external lubrication. Fiber reinforcements create millions of tiny chambers, which house microscopic solid lubricant particles that are released as the shaft starts to move. Homogeneous construction means lubricant can't be pressed out, eliminating the need for periodic relubrication.
4. More vibration dampening. Forgiving of shock and edge loads
Plastic bearings run quietly and absorb or dampen mechanical vibrations. Their mechanical loss factor, an indicator of vibration-damping capability, is up to 250 times that of metallic bearings. Fiber reinforcement tailored to application requirements helps the bearings withstand shock and edge loads.

CNET News Video
iPhone 4S launch day in New YorkCrowds gather for the early morning launch of the iPhone 4S. This time around, customers can pick from three carriers and ask Siri for some help.
-Hi, I'm Bridget Carey with CNET TV and we are here at the Fifth Avenue Apple store where once again it's another iPhone launch day, this time the iPhone 4S. Now, it's a little tamer than previous launch dates. There's still a crowd here that's very excited to be a part of the moment to be the first to get the iPhone. So, we went around asking what carrier because now there're 3 to choose from and what makes them excited about upgrading. I see you're on catch. It couldn't have been easy to stand here since 11 p.m. -Close to impossible. It is awful. -What makes it worth it for you? -Really, I don't know yet. I'll find out maybe an hour or so. -Which carrier are you going with? -I would have to say I'm going with AT&T. -I'm on Verizon. -AT&T. -I'm going with Sprint. I've been a long time customer with theirs. -I'm going to be going with Verizon as I have been for a while. -So, is this your first iPhone? -It is, very iPhone. I'm a convert. I was using the LG Ally, which is an android phone. So, I'm switching over to the other side. -What makes you wanna switch over? -I was really convinced with the new iOS 5, the performance upgrade and then of course Siri who seems to be very endearing. -It's my first iPhone and I'm getting it because I'm tired of my Blackberry and when I heard the iPhone was coming to Sprint, I was just waiting for it. -What's your most excited about in all the features? -Honestly, Siri, because I've used iPhones before, but I think that Siri is the one thing that will like separate this one of course. -I'm a kind of [unk] fan and, you know, it's kind of cool to have a conversation with the computer. It might sounds like nerdy or whatever, but I think it's really the next step of search. -The iPad 2 was much worse. I mean the line was all they way around central park. -Here are at the Upper West Side Apple store where people just got inside. -The line is moving and there is a lot of cheer in hall and by the employees inside. What's the first thing you wanna ask Siri? Have you thought of this? -Yes, will you marry? -She said, it was not part of her user agreement. -Where the McDonald's around here? I found the McDonald's, see it points 2 miles [unk] click on it. It shows me the map. It's pretty cool. -How did the stock market closed yesterday? They you go Dow Jones s&p 500 no ASE composite. Oh, there you go. -At the Upper West Side Apple store, it's about 40 minutes after the launch there's only about 30 on line, so not that long. The majority of people are saying they wanna stick with AT&T and they are really interested in Siri. My only question is I wondered if Siri knows when the iPhone 5 is coming out. For CNET TV, I'm Bridget Carey.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with assistance from an international Advisory Group, manages a grants program to implement the terms of the NMBCA.
This competitive, matching grants program supports public-private partnerships carrying out projects in the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean that promote the long-term conservation of neotropical migratory birds and their habitats. The goals of the NMBCA include perpetuating healthy populations of these birds, providing financial resources for bird conservation initiatives, and fostering international cooperation for such initiatives.
The NMBCA Advisory Group, named by the Secretary of the Interior under the NMBCA, will hold its meeting to advise the Director, Fish and Wildlife Service, on the strategic direction and management of the NMBCA grants program.

Burlington, MA, April 10, 2017 TomTom (TOM2) today announced a concerted effort to encourage visitors to go off the beaten path and explore less traveled trails within U.S. national parks. In the past year, U.S. national parks saw a 7.7 percent increase in visitors, which translated to 24 million more people hitting popular trails and parks.
To help make it easier for people to discover new paths, TomTom is launching a dedicated site (Tomtom.com/en_us/trails-near-me) for people to view and download dozens of digital maps. For instance, the site will feature trails at lesser-known parks including, Deer Valley Loop in Saguaro National Park (AZ), the North Vista Trail at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (CO) and the Mount Scott Trail in Crater Lake National Park (OR). It will also include lesser-known trails at some of the more well-known parks such as Lost Horse Mine Loop in Joshua Tree National Park (CA) and Cadillac North Ridge Trail in Acadia National Park (Maine).
Users can search for trails by location and download preferred .gpx files to add to any device that accepts GPS trails, including TomTom Spark 3 and Adventurer. Trails on the site are categorized by geographic location and there is also a dedicated group of influencer trails from top outdoor and fitness aficionados, allowing visitors to travel the same paths as these outdoor enthusiasts.
"TomTom wants people to get going and enjoy the outdoors, as there is so much natural beauty to enjoy and so many national parks and trails that are ready to be explored," said Jocelyn Vigreux, President of TomTom, Inc. "Our partnership with the National Park Foundation lets us combine efforts to inspire people to get off the beaten path in our national parks – whether it's the one right in their backyard or the one they travel across the U.S. to visit."
In addition, TomTom is supporting the National Park Foundation by celebrating National Park Week, and making a five dollar donation and a 15 percent discount for every TomTom Adventurer and Spark watch that is sold on TomTom.com between April 10 – 23, 2017. Visit www.NationalParkWeek.org to learn more.
"National parks are incredible natural, cultural, and historical resources that offer countless activities that promote active, healthy lifestyles," said Angela Hearn, senior vice president of marketing and communications at the National Park Foundation. "Through our partnership with TomTom, we will work together to help more people discover the endless benefits of connecting with and protecting their national parks."

Lecture – The Gettysburg Event by Brian Matthew Jordan and Ed W. Clark
Recognized as having the most casualties of any other engagement, the Battle of Gettysburg is noted as the turning point of Civil War in 1863. Traditional Civil War histories have concluded in 1865, now Dr. Brian Jordan has mined previously untapped archives—soldiers' anguished letters and diaries, and gruesome medical reports—to trace a Union regiment's shocking transition from the battlefield to the home front.
Instead of being welcomed home as heroes, these veterans—tending rotting wounds, battling alcoholism, campaigning for paltry pensions—tragically realized that they stood as unwelcome reminders to a new America eager to heal, forget and embrace the freewheeling bounty of the Gilded Age.
Also speaking this evening will be Ed W. Clark, Superintendent of Gettysburg National Military Park, who will address the current state of affairs at Gettysburg. A book signing of Dr. Jordan's Pulitzer Prize-nominated book "Marching Home: Union Veterans and Their Unending Civil War" will follow the lecture.
This program is co-sponsored by the Gettysburg Foundation.

The now-buxom brat from rural Louisiana kept on truckin' and ended up in a couple of theatrical productions, which gave her the experience (and time enough to "grow up") to land that coveted MMC role opposite "Dirrty" temptress Christina Aguilera in 1993. But the big time came after her stint on The Club, when Britney made beautiful and sexy music history with her debut...Join Mr. Skin for the full bio >>

After meeting with President Barack Obama, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg told the world that BP cares about the "small people," contrary to popular belief about "greedy companies." Under the command of the president, BP executives agreed today to establish a $20 billion escrow fund for the damages from its growing Gulf of Mexico disaster, and a $100 million fund for wages lost by oil industry workers idled by the deepwater-drilling moratorium. The president also cautioned the BP executives to "keep in mind" the families in the Gulf devastated by this catastrophe. After the meeting, Svanberg told reporters that he wanted to dispel the myths that "large oil companies are greedy companies or don't care":
I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies are greedy companies or don't care, but that is not the case with BP. We care about the small people.
Watch it:
Last month, Svanberg had a different depiction of what BP cares about. "The US is a big and important market for BP," Svanberg told the Financial Times, "and BP is also a big and important company for the US, with its contribution to drilling and oil and gas production."

SCORE!!!!! I've been featured on SCORE.org
Posted on by Courtney
I can't believe that I had two features roll out two days in a row. It's quite humbling to have your story featured in the media. This is only the beginning of greatness and I am motivated even more when I am reminded about the great work I am doing.
Take a moment and read with me.
Courtney Daniel knows how to keep up in a fast-paced business world. In fact, she was once a personal assistant to the stars. "Little did I know, the years I spent thinking on my feet, finding creative solutions to problems and developing a knack for pleasing people would endow me with all the skills I'd need for success with my own creative business."
The attention to detail she brought to client correspondence sparked her interest in developing custom stationery solutions for individuals, small businesses and corporations. She started her company in 2005.
C. Daniel Designs is a full-service project-management company specializing in custom stationery. To learn more about C. Daniel Designs, visit www.cdanieldesigns.com.
My Successes
Daniel was named the sole 2016 American Small Business Champions representing New Hampshire. She traveled to Washington, D.C. for a day of small business training with SCORE and Sam's Club, and received a gift card to purchase business supplies.
Daniel created the winning design for the Seacoast African American Cultural Center's own pectoral postmark in 2015. She has also participated in business roundtable events with public officials including Senator Kelly Ayotte (NH).
How SCORE Helped
Daniel first met SCORE's Seacoast chapter when she moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Portsmouth, New Hampshire and wasn't sure how to move her business to her new state. She attended local workshops and met with mentors Dan Walter and Liz LeSavoy once a month. "Doing so allowed me the time needed to complete my checklist from previous meetings." If she had a question in between meetings, she could call on Walter and Savoy any time.
"My counselors have been instrumental sounding boards for the numerous ideas I have had as a creator," Daniel says. "They're just a phone call or email away and I love the convenience of having Dan and Liz available. They both allowed me to set the pace of how I wanted my business to grow — the ball was always in my court."

When I edit an IP Security (IPSec) policy in a Group Policy Object (GPO), the changes don't take effect unless I first delete and recreate the IPSec policy object. How can I avoid this unnecessary work?
A Windows 2000 bug causes this problem; fortunately, the bug has a simple workaround. An IPSec policy is an Active Directory (AD) object that's separate from the GPO in which you define it. To demonstrate how the bug works, create but don't assign an IPSec policy called Test in your Default Domain Policy GPO. (When you create an IPSec policy, it doesn't take effect until you right-click it and select Assign.) Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, right-click the root domain, then select Properties. Click the Group Policy tab, highlight Default Domain Policy, then click Edit. In the Group Policy window that Figure 1 shows, drill down to \computer configuration\windows settings\security settings\ip security policies on active directory. Right-click in the right pane, then select Create IP Security Policy. Edit your Default Domain Controllers Policy GPO. You'll see the new IPSec policy Test there, too. At boot up and about every 90 minutes thereafter, a Win2K computer checks AD to see whether any of the GPOs that apply to the computer have been changed—either because you've linked new GPOs to the computer's site, domain, or OU or because you've deleted relevant GPOs. If the check reveals changes, the Win2K computer reapplies group policy to apply the changes.
To determine whether a GPO has changed, Win2K checks the GPO's version number. By reapplying group policy only when changes have occurred, Win2K saves network and system resources. However, this approach causes a problem when it comes to IPSec policies. Because an IPSec policy object is separate from the GPO, when you edit an IPSec policy, Win2K doesn't update the GPO's version number. Thus, the computers to which that GPO applies miss the updated IPSec policy. To work around this problem, remember to unassign and assign the IPSec policy after you edit it. Reassigning the IPSec policy increments the GPO's version number. Also, remember to reassign the IPSec policy in any other GPOs in which you use it. Otherwise, you might think you've deployed an important security change related to IPSec in your network that never takes effect.

Paulinho's Mersey mission
27 March 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
Paulinho admits he's banished the memory of our home match against Liverpool in December.
Few will need reminding - not least the Brazilian international - of the events at the Lane that day as Liverpool ran out 5-0 winners.
Luis Suarez opened the scoring, we lost Sandro to injury and it was 2-0 when Paulinho received a straight red card just after the hour. The Reds ran in three goals in the final 15 minutes.
Liverpool have gone from strength to strength since then and Wednesday's 2-1 win against Sunderland sees them second in the Premier League, just a point behind Chelsea with seven games remaining.
They've won 11 of their last 12 at Anfield but Paulinho is determined to come home from Merseyside with a positive result.
"This is a good game for us after the result against Southampton and now we have the chance to do well against Liverpool," said Paulinho, who didn't want to dwell on December's meeting.
"I didn't think it was a red card at the time. I've forgotten about it, we didn't play well, we lost. Now we have another chance.
"We have to forget about that game. We have a chance to go there, play well and hopefully come back with a good result. We know it will be difficult, but we have a chance.
"We have seven games to go, we're trying to finish as high as possible and we have to try to win this game."
