StatSoft has freely provided the Electronic Statistics Textbook as a public service since 1995.
This textbook offers training in the understanding and application of statistics and data mining. The material was developed at the StatSoft R&D department based on many years of teaching undergraduate and graduate statistics courses. It covers a wide variety of applications, including laboratory research (biomedical, agricultural, etc.), business statistics, credit scoring, forecasting, social science statistics and survey research, data mining, engineering and quality control applications, and many others.
The Electronic Statistics Textbook begins with an overview of the relevant elementary (pivotal) concepts and continues with a more in depth exploration of specific areas of statistics, organized by "modules" and accessible by buttons, representing classes of analytic techniques. A glossary of statistical terms and a list of references for further study are included.
Proper citation:
Overview of Elementary Concepts in Statistics. In this introduction, we will briefly discuss those elementary statistical concepts that provide the necessary foundations for more specialized expertise in any area of statistical data analysis. The selected topics illustrate the basic assumptions of most statistical methods and/or have been demonstrated in research to be necessary components of one's general understanding of the "quantitative nature" of reality (Nisbet, et al., 1987). Because of space limitations, we will focus mostly on the functional aspects of the concepts discussed and the presentation will be very short.
Further information on each of those concepts can be found in the Introductory Overview and Examples sections of this manual and in statistical textbooks. Recommended introductory textbooks are: Kachigan (1986), and Runyon and Haber (1976); for a more advanced discussion of elementary theory and assumptions of statistics, see the classic books by Hays (1988), and Kendall and Stuart (1979).

We might have enjoyed a hot start to October, but the sunshine might not last.
Experts are predicting a long cold winter with up to three months of snow. A forecaster has warned the country faces the worst snowfall for years - after one of the mildest winters on record in 2015. The prediction said Britain could be hit by snow for up to four months.
The news came as day-trippers took advantage of the sunshine at the weekend by visit beaches across the country.
Meanwhile, ITV has extended its contract with the Met Office, just weeks after the BBC ditched the state-owned weather forecaster in favour of a rival company.
The Met Office has provided weather services to ITV for more than 25 years and the two organisations have developed new-look weather graphics that will be launched across ITV's bulletins from today.
The graphics will see traditional symbols replaced with high-resolution maps that more accurately reflect the world, and will help give viewers a better understanding of how the weather will impact where they live, and how it changes over time.
ITV's director of news and current affairs Michael Jermey said: "The new look weather service we have developed, which is on air from today, means even more detailed forecasts for our audiences across the UK."
In August it was announced that MeteoGroup was replacing the Met Office as the BBC's weather forecaster from spring 2017.

MySQL now supports pluggable authentication, such that the server uses plugins to authenticate incoming client connections. Client programs load an authentication plugin that interacts properly with the corresponding server plugin.
Pluggable authentication enables two important capabilities, external authentication and proxy users:
Pluggable authentication makes it possible for clients to connect to the MySQL server with credentials that are appropriate for authentication methods other than native authentication based on passwords stored in the
mysql.usertable. For example, plugins can be created to use external authentication methods such as PAM, Windows login IDs, LDAP, or Kerberos.
If a user is permitted to connect, an authentication plugin can return to the server a user name different from the name of the connecting user, to indicate that the connecting user is a proxy for another user. While the connection lasts, the proxy user is treated, for purposes of access control, as having the privileges of a different user. In effect, one user impersonates another.
Pluggable authentication entails these changes:
For user specifications in the
CREATE USERand
GRANTstatements, there is a new
IDENTIFIED WITHclause for specifying the authentication plugin.
For the
mysql.usertable, there are new columns that specify plugin information. The
plugincolumn, if nonempty, indicates which plugin authenticates connections for an account. The
authentication_stringcolumn is a string that the server passes to the plugin for connections by clients that authenticate using the plugin.
For the
mysql_options()C API function, there are new
MYSQL_PLUGIN_DIRoptions that enable client programs to load authentication plugins.
For the mysql client, there are new
--plugin-diroptions for specifying which authentication plugin and plugin directory to use. These options will be added to other clients in future releases.
For the mysqltest client, there is a new
--plugin-diroption for specifying which plugin directory to use, and a new
connect()command argument to specify an authentication plugin.
For the server plugin API, there is a new
MYSQL_AUTHENTICATION_PLUGINplugin type.
A new client plugin API enables client programs to manage plugins.
The native authentication methods previously supported in MySQL have been reimplemented as plugins. These methods provide against the current password format and pre-MySQL 4.1.1 format that uses shorter password hash values. This change reimplements the native methods as plugins that cannot be unloaded. Existing clients authenticate as before with no changes needed. In particular, starting the server with the
--secure-authoption still prevents clients that have pre-4.1.1 password hashes from connecting, and
--skip-grant-tablesstill disables all password checking.
Proxy user capability entails these changes:
There is a new
PROXYprivilege that can be managed with the
The new
external_usersystem variables indicate whether the current session uses proxying.
A new
mysql.proxies_privgrant table records proxy information for MySQL accounts.
Due to these changes, the server requires that a new grant table,
proxies_priv, be present in the
mysqldatabase. If you are upgrading to MySQL 5.5.7 from a previous MySQL release rather than performing a new installation, the server will find that this table is missing and exit during startup with the following message:
Table 'mysql.proxies_priv' doesn't exist
To create the
proxies_privtable, start the server with the
--skip-grant-tablesoption to cause it to skip the normal grant table checks, then run mysql_upgrade. For example:
shell> mysqld --skip-grant-tables & shell> mysql_upgrade
Then stop the server and restart it normally.
You can specify other options on the mysqld command line if necessary. Alternatively, if your installation is configured so that the server normally reads options from an option file, use the
--defaults-fileoption to specify the file (enter each command on a single line):
shell> mysqld --defaults-file=/usr/local/mysql/etc/my.cnf --skip-grant-tables & shell> mysql_upgrade
With the
--skip-grant-tablesoption, the server does no password or privilege checking, so any client can connect and effectively have all privileges. For additional security, enable the
skip_networkingsystem variable as well to prevent remote clients from connecting.Note
The upgrade problem just described is fixed in MySQL 5.5.8. The server treats a missing
proxies_privtable as equivalent to an empty table.
For additional information, consult these references:
Information about pluggable authentication, including installation and usage instructions: Pluggable Authentication.
Information about proxy users: Proxy Users.
Information about the server and client plugin API: Writing Plugins.
Information about the C API functions for managing client plugins: See C API Client Plugin Functions.
Information about current restrictions on the use of pluggable authentication, including which connectors support which plugins: See Restrictions on Pluggable Authentication. Third-party connector developers should read that section to determine the extent to which a connector can take advantage of pluggable authentication capabilities and what steps to take to become more compliant.
MySQL releases now are built using CMake rather than the GNU autotools. Accordingly, the instructions for installing MySQL from source have been updated to discuss how to build MySQL using CMake. See Installing MySQL from Source. If you are familiar with autotools but not CMake, you might find these transition instructions helpful: Autotools to CMake Transition Guide
The build process is now similar enough on all platforms, including Windows, that there are no longer sections dedicated to notes for specific platforms.
The default installation layout when compiling from source now matches that used for binary distributions. You will notice these differences for installations from source distributions:
mysqld is installed in
bin, not
mysql_install_db is installed in
scripts, not
The data directory is
data, not
The make_binary_distribution and
make_win_bin_distscripts are now obsolete. To create a binary distribution, use make package.
Incompatible Change: Previously, if you flushed the logs using
FLUSH LOGSor mysqladmin flush-logs and mysqld was writing the error log to a file (for example, if it was started with the
--log-erroroption), it renamed the current log file with the suffix
-old, then created a new empty log file. This had the problem that a second log-flushing operation thus caused the original error log file to be lost unless you saved it under a different name. For example, you could use the following commands to save the file:
shell> mysqladmin flush-logs shell> mv host_name.err-old backup-directory
To avoid the preceding file-loss problem, renaming no longer occurs. The server merely closes and reopens the log file. To rename the file, you can do so manually before flushing. Then flushing the logs reopens a new file with the original file name. For example, you can rename the file and create a new one using the following commands:
shell> mv host_name.err host_name.err-old shell> mysqladmin flush-logs shell> mv host_name.err-old backup-directory
(Bug #29751)
References: See also: Bug #56821.
The unused and undocumented
thread_pool_sizesystem variable was removed. (Bug #57338)
pstacklibrary was nonfunctional and has been removed, along with the
--with-pstackoption for configure and the
--enable-pstackoption for mysqld. (Bug #57210)
Added a new
SHOW PROCESSLISTstate,
Waiting for query cache lock. This indicates that a session is waiting to take the query cache lock while it performs some query cache operation. (Bug #56822)
A new status variable,
Handler_read_last, displays the number of requests to read the last key in an index. With
ORDER BY, the server issues a first-key request followed by several next-key requests, whereas with
ORDER BY DESC, the server issues a last-key request followed by several previous-key requests. (Bug #52312)
Previously, the server supported values of
ON, and
FORCEfor the
--option format for controlling plugin loading using an option named after the plugin. Such options now support a
FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENTvalue. This value is like
FORCE, but in addition prevents the plugin from being unloaded at runtime. If a user attempts to do so with
UNINSTALL PLUGIN, an error occurs. See Installing and Uninstalling Plugins.
In addition, the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINStable now has a
LOAD_OPTIONcolumn that indicates the plugin loading value (
FORCE, or
FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT). See The INFORMATION_SCHEMA PLUGINS Table.
Security Fix; Incompatible Change; InnoDB: Issuing
TRUNCATE TABLEand examining the same table's information in the
INFORMATION_SCHEMAdatabase at the same time could cause a crash in the debug version of the server.
As a result of this change,
InnoDBalways uses the fast truncation technique, equivalent to
DROP TABLEand
CREATE TABLE. It no longer performs a row-by-row delete for tables with parent-child foreign key relationships.
TRUNCATE TABLEreturns an error for such tables. Modify your SQL to issue
DELETE FROMfor such tables instead. (Bug #54678)
Security Fix: The server crashed for assignment of values of types other than
Geometryto items of type
MultiSurface). Now the server checks the value type and fails with
bad geometry valueif it detects incorrect parameters. (Bug #55531)
Security Fix: The
CONVERT_TZ()function crashed the server when the timezone argument was an empty
SETcolumn value. (Bug #55424)
Security Fix:
EXPLAIN EXTENDEDcaused a server crash with some prepared statements. (Bug #54494)
Security Fix: In prepared-statement mode,
EXPLAINfor a
SELECTfrom a derived table caused a server crash. (Bug #54488)
Security Fix: The
PolyFromWKB()function could crash the server when improper WKB data was passed to the function. (Bug #51875, Bug #11759554)
Incompatible Change; Replication: The behavior of
INSERT DELAYEDstatements when using statement-based replication has changed as follows:
Previously, when using
binlog_format=STATEMENT, a warning was issued in the client when executing
INSERT DELAYED; now, no warning is issued in such cases.
Previously, when using
INSERT DELAYEDwas logged as
INSERT DELAYED; now, it is logged as an
INSERT, without the
However, when
INSERT DELAYEDcontinues to be executed as
INSERT(without the
DELAYEDoption). The behavior of
INSERT DELAYEDremains unchanged when using
INSERT DELAYEDgenerates no warnings, is executed as
INSERT DELAYED, and is logged using the row-based format.
This change also affects
binlog_format=MIXED, because
INSERT DELAYEDis no longer considered unsafe. Now, when the logging format is
MIXED, no switch to row-based logging occurs. This means that the statement is logged as a simple
INSERT(that is, without the
DELAYEDoption), using the statement-based logging format. (Bug #54579, Bug #11762035)
References: See also: Bug #56678, Bug #11763907, Bug #57666. This issue is a regression of: Bug #39934, Bug #11749859.
Incompatible Change:
HANDLER ... READstatements that invoke stored functions can cause replication errors. Such statements are now disallowed and result in an
ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_YETerror. (Bug #54920)
Important Change; InnoDB: The server could crash with an assertion, possibly leading to data corruption, while updating the primary key of an
InnoDBtable containing
BLOBor other columns requiring off-page storage. This fix applies to the
InnoDBPlugin in MySQL 5.1, and to
InnoDB1.1 in MySQL 5.5. (Bug #55543)
Performance; InnoDB: The master
InnoDBbackground thread could sometimes cause transient performance drops due to excessive flushing of modified pages. (Bug #56933)
InnoDB; Replication: If the master had
innodb_strict_mode=OFF), or both, certain
CREATE TABLEoptions, such as
KEY_BLOCK_SIZE, were ignored. This could permit the master to avoid raising
However, the ignored
CREATE TABLEoptions were still written into the binary log, so that, if the slave had
innodb_file_format=Barracuda, it could encounter an
ER_TOO_BIG_ROWSIZEerror while executing the record from the log, causing the slave SQL thread to abort and replication to fail.
In the case where the master was running MySQL 5.1 and the slave was MySQL 5.5 (or later), the failure occurred when both master and slave were running with default values for
innodb_file_format. This could cause problems during upgrades.
To address this issue, the default values for
innodb_file_formatare reverted to the MySQL 5.1 default values—that is,
Antelope, respectively. (Bug #56318, Bug #11763590)
InnoDB: The server could crash with a high volume of concurrent
LOCK TABLESand
UNLOCK TABLESstatements. (Bug #57345)
InnoDBincorrectly reported an error when a cascading foreign key constraint deleted more than 250 rows. (Bug #57255)
InnoDB: If the server crashed during an
ALTER TABLEoperation on an
InnoDBtable, examining the table through
SHOW CREATE TABLEor querying the
INFORMATION_SCHEMAtables could cause the server to stop with an assertion error. (Bug #56982)
InnoDB: The output from the
SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUScommand can now be up to 1MB. Formerly, it was truncated at 64KB. Monitoring applications that parse that output can check whether it exceeds this new, larger limit by testing the
Innodb_truncated_status_writesstatus variable. (Bug #56922)
InnoDB: For debug builds, a
SELECT ... FOR UPDATEstatement affecting a range of rows in an
InnoDBtable could cause a server crash. (Bug #56716)
InnoDB: Improved the performance of
UPDATEoperations on
InnoDBtables, when only non-indexed columns are changed. (Bug #56340)
InnoDB: When MySQL was restarted after a crash with the option
innodb_force_recovery=6, certain queries against
InnoDBtables could fail, depending on
ORDER BYclauses.
Usually in such a disaster recovery situation, you dump the entire table using a query without these clauses. During advanced troubleshooting, you might use queries with these clauses to diagnose the position of the corrupted data, or to recover data following the corrupted part. (Bug #55832)
InnoDB: The
CHECK TABLEcommand could cause a time-consuming verification of the
InnoDBadaptive hash index memory structure. Now this extra checking is only performed in binaries built for debugging. (Bug #55716)
InnoDB: A heavy workload with a large number of threads could cause a crash in the debug version of the server. (Bug #55699)
InnoDB: The server could crash on shutdown, if started with
--innodb-use-system-malloc=0. (Bug #55627)
InnoDB: If the server crashed during a
RENAME TABLEoperation on an
InnoDBtable, subsequent crash recovery could fail. This problem could also affect an
ALTER TABLEstatement that caused a rename operation internally. (Bug #55027)
InnoDB: Setting the
PACK_KEYS=0table option for an
InnoDBtable prevented new indexes from being added to the table. (Bug #54606)
InnoDB: The server could crash when opening an
InnoDBtable linked through foreign keys to a long chain of child tables. (Bug #54582, Bug #11762038)
InnoDB: Changed the locking mechanism for the
InnoDBdata dictionary during
ROLLBACKoperations, to improve concurrency for
REPLACEstatements. (Bug #54538)
InnoDB: With multiple buffer pools enabled,
InnoDBcould flush more data from the buffer pool than necessary, causing extra I/O overhead. (Bug #54346)
InnoDBtransactions could be incorrectly committed during recovery, rather than rolled back, if the server crashed and was restarted after performing
ALTER TABLE ... ADD PRIMARY KEYon an
InnoDBtable, or some other operation that involves copying the entire table. (Bug #53756)
InnoDBstartup messages now include the start and end times for buffer pool initialization, and the total buffer pool size. (Bug #48026)
Partitioning: An
ALTER TABLEstatement acting on table partitions that failed while the affected table was locked could cause the server to crash. (Bug #56172)
Partitioning: Multiple-table
UPDATEstatements involving a partitioned
MyISAMtable could cause this table to become corrupted. Not all tables affected by the
UPDATEneeded to be partitioned for this issue to be observed. (Bug #55458)
EXPLAIN PARTITIONSreturned bad estimates for range queries on partitioned
MyISAMtables. In addition, values in the
rowscolumn of
EXPLAIN PARTITIONSoutput did not take partition pruning into account. (Bug #53806, Bug #46754)
SET PASSWORDcaused failure of row-based replication between a MySQL 5.1 master and a MySQL 5.5 slave.
This fix makes it possible to replicate
SET PASSWORDcorrectly, using row-based replication between a master running MySQL 5.1.53 or a later MySQL 5.1 release to a slave running MySQL 5.5.7 or a later MySQL 5.5 release. (Bug #57098)
References: See also: Bug #55452, Bug #57357.
Replication: Prepared multiple-row
INSERT DELAYEDstatements were written to the binary log without
DELAYED. (Bug #56678, Bug #11763907)
References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #54579, Bug #11762035.
Replication: Backticks used to enclose identifiers for savepoints were not preserved in the binary log, which could lead to replication failure when the identifier, stripped of backticks, could be misinterpreted, causing a syntax or other error.
This could cause problems with MySQL application programs making use of generated savepoint IDs. If, for instance,
java.sql.Connection.setSavepoint()is called without any parameters, Connector/J automatically generates a savepoint identifier consisting of a string of hexadecimal digits
Fencased in backtick (
`) characters. If such an ID took the form
Nrepresents a string of the decimal digits
9, and
eis a literal uppercase or lowercase "E" character). Removing the backticks when writing the identifier into the binary log left behind a substring which the slave MySQL server tried to interpret as a floating point number, rather than as an identifier. The resulting syntax error caused loss of replication. (Bug #55961)
References: See also: Bug #55962.
Replication: When a slave tried to execute a transaction larger than the slave's value for
max_binlog_cache_size, it crashed. This was caused by an assertion that the server should roll back only the statement but not the entire transaction when the error
ER_TRANS_CACHE_FULLoccurred. However, the slave SQL thread always rolled back the entire transaction whenever any error occurred, regardless of the type of error. (Bug #55375)
Replication: The error message for
ER_SLAVE_HEARTBEAT_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGEwas hard coded in English in
sql_yacc.yy, so that it could not be translated in
errmsg.txtfor other languages.
Additionally, this same error message was used for three separate error conditions:
When the heartbeat period exceeded the value of
When the heartbeat period was nonnegative but shorter than 1 millisecond.
When the value for the heartbeat period was either negative or greater than the maximum permitted.
These issues have been addressed as follows:
By using three distinct error messages for each of the conditions listed previously.
By moving the sources for these error messages into the
errmsg-utf8.txtfile to facilitate translations into languages other than English.
(Bug #54144)
OS X: On OS X,
RENAME TABLEraised an assertion if the
lower_case_table_namessystem variable was 2 and the old table name was specified in uppercase. (Bug #56595)
Microsoft Windows: When mysqld was started as a service on Windows and mysqld was writing the error log to a file (for example, if it was started with the
--log-erroroption), the server reassigned the file descriptors of the
stderrstreams to the file descriptor of the log file. On Windows, if
stderris not associated with an output stream, the file descriptor returns a negative value. Previously, this caused the file descriptor reassignment to fail and the server to abort. To avoid this problem on Windows, the server now first assigns the
stderrstreams to the log file stream by opening this file. This causes the
stderrfile descriptors to be nonzero and the server can successfully reassign them to the file descriptor of the log file. (Bug #56821)
References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #29751.
Solaris: On Solaris with gcc 3.4.6,
ha_example.sowas built with DTrace support even if the server was not, causing plugin loading problems. (Bug #55966)
Solaris: A bad
DBUG_PRINTstatement in
fill_schema_schemata()caused server crashes on Solaris. (Bug #54478)
mysqldsegfaulted if compiled with gcc 4.6. (Bug #61509, Bug #14548064)
A buffer overrun could occur when formatting
DBL_MAXnumbers. (Bug #57209)
COALESCE()in MySQL 5.5 could return a result different from MySQL 5.1 for some arguments. (Bug #57095)
SUBTIME()expressions could return incorrect results. (Bug #57039)
The server could crash inside
memcpy()when reading certain Performance Schema tables. (Bug #56761, Bug #58003)
Deadlock could occur for heavily concurrent workloads consisting of a mix of DML, DDL, and
FLUSH TABLESstatements affecting the same set of tables. (Bug #56715, Bug #56404, Bug #56405)
Memory leaks detected by Valgrind were corrected. (Bug #56709)
Performance for certain read-only queries, in particular
point_select, had deteriorated compared to previous versions. (Bug #56585)
It was possible to compile mysqld with Performance Schema support but with a dummy atomic-operations implementation, which caused a server crash. This problem does not affect binary distributions. It is helpful as a safety measure for users who build MySQL from source. (Bug #56521)
XA ENDafter an XA transaction was already ended raised an assertion. (Bug #56448)
SELECTstatement could produce a number of rows different from a
CREATE TABLE ... SELECTthat was supposed to select the same rows. (Bug #56423)
References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #38999.
The server crashed if a table maintenance statement such as
ANALYZE TABLEor
REPAIR TABLEwas executed on a
MERGEtable and opening and locking a child table failed. For example, this could happen if a child table did not exist or if a lock timeout happened while waiting for a conflicting metadata lock to disappear.
As a consequence of this bug fix, it is now possible to use
CHECK TABLEfor log tables without producing an error. (Bug #56422, Bug #56494)
ALTER TABLEon a
MERGEtable could result in deadlock with other connections. (Bug #56292, Bug #57002)
Comparison of one
STR_TO_DATE()result with another could return incorrect results. (Bug #56271)
tcmalloclibrary was missing from binary MySQL packages for Linux. (Bug #56267)
INSERT DELAYEDstatement for a
MERGEtable could cause deadlock if it occurred as part of a transaction or under
LOCK TABLES, and there was a concurrent DDL or
LOCK TABLES ... WRITEstatement that tried to lock one of its underlying tables. (Bug #56251)
In debug builds, the server raised an assertion for
DROP DATABASEin installations that had an outdated or corrupted
mysql.proctable. For example, this affected mysql_upgrade when run as part of a MySQL 5.1 to 5.5 upgrade. (Bug #56137)
A negative
TIMEargument to
MAX()could raise an assertion. (Bug #56120)
The ordering for supplementary characters in the
utf16_bin, and
utf32_bincollations was incorrect. (Bug #55980)
Short (single-letter) command-line options did not work. (Bug #55873)
If a query specified a
DATETIMEvalue in a format different from
'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss', a greater-than-or-equal (
>=) condition matched only greater-than values in an indexed
TIMESTAMPcolumn. (Bug #55779, Bug #50774, Bug #11758558)
If a view was named as the destination table for
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT, the server produced a warning whether or not
IF NOT EXISTSwas used. Now it produces a warning only when
IF NOT EXISTSis used, and an error otherwise. (Bug #55777)
CASEexpressions with a mix of operands in different character sets sometimes returned incorrect results. (Bug #55744)
After the fix for Bug #39653, the shortest available secondary index was used for full table scans. The primary clustered key was used only if no secondary index could be used. However, when the chosen secondary index includes all columns of the table being scanned, it is better to use the primary index because the amount of data to scan is the same but the primary index is clustered. This is now taken into account. (Bug #55656)
References: See also: Bug #39653.
The server entered an infinite loop with high CPU utilization after an error occurred during flushing of the I/O cache. (Bug #55629)
For the Performance Schema, the default number of rwlock classes was increased to 30, and the default number of rwlock and mutex instances was increased to 1 million. These changes were made to account for the volume of data instrumented when the
InnoDBstorage engine is used (because of the
InnoDBbuffer pool). (Bug #55576)
If there was an active
SELECTstatement, an error arising during trigger execution could cause a server crash. (Bug #55421)
Assignment of
InnoDBscalar subquery results to a variable resulted in unexpected
Slocks in
READ COMMITTEDtransaction isolation level. (Bug #55382)
In debug builds,
FLUSH TABLEfor a
table_listWITH READ LOCK
MERGEtable led to an assertion failure if one of the table's children was not present in the list of tables to be flushed. (Bug #55273)
The server could crash during shutdown due to a race condition relating to Performance Schema cleanup. (Bug #55105, Bug #56324)
Queries involving predicates of the form
could return incorrect data due to incorrect handling by the range optimizer. (Bug #54802)
constNOT BETWEEN
With an
UPDATE IGNOREstatement including a subquery that was evaluated using a temporary table, an error transferring the data from the temporary was ignored, causing an assertion to be raised. (Bug #54543)
MAX()with a subquery argument could raise a debug assertion for debug builds or return incorrect data for nondebug builds. (Bug #54465)
If one session attempted to drop a database containing a table which another session had opened with
HANDLER, any instance of
CREATE DATABASE, or
DROP DATABASEissued by the latter session produced a deadlock. (Bug #54360)
INFORMATION_SCHEMAplugins with no
deinit()method resulted in a memory leak. (Bug #54253)
Row subqueries producing no rows were not handled as
UNKNOWNvalues in row-comparison expressions. (Bug #54190)

plugin_audit.hinclude files are part of the public API/ABI, but were not tested by the ABI check. (Bug #52821)
An atomic "compare and swap" operation using x86 assembly code (32 bit) could access incorrect data, which would make it work incorrectly and lose the intended atomicity. This in turn caused the MySQL server to work on inconsistent data structures and return incorrect data. That code affected only 32-bit builds; the effect has been observed when icc was used to build binaries. With gcc, no incorrect results have been observed during tests, so this fix is a proactive one. Other compilers do not use this assembly code. (Bug #52419)
LOAD DATA, using a
SETclause to set a column equal to itself caused a server crash. (Bug #51850)
An assertion could be raised by
DELETEon a view that referenced another view which in turn (directly or indirectly) referenced more than one table. (Bug #51099)
In some cases, when the left part of a
NOT INsubquery predicate was a row and contained
NULLvalues, the query result was incorrect. (Bug #51070)
CHECKSUM TABLEfor Performance Schema tables could cause a server crash due to uninitialized memory reads. (Bug #50557)
For some queries, the optimizer produced incorrect results using the Index Merge access method with
InnoDBtables. (Bug #50402)
EXPLAINproduced an incorrect
rowsvalue for queries evaluated using an index scan and that included
GROUP BY, and
ORDER BYon a computed column. (Bug #50394)
mysql_use_result()are not for use with prepared statements and are not intended to be called following
mysql_stmt_execute(), but failed to return an error when invoked that way. (Bug #47485)
REPAIR TABLEon a
MERGEtable caused the server to crash. (Bug #46339)
If the global and session
debugsystem variables had the same value, the debug trace file could be closed twice, leading to freeing already freed memory and a server crash. (Bug #46165)
ALTER EVENTfailed to load an event after altering it, an assertion could be raised. This could occur, for example, if
ALTER EVENTwas killed with
KILL QUERY. (Bug #44171)
Many type-punning warnings during compilation were silenced. (Bug #42733, Bug #11751755)
Trailing space removal for
utf32strings was done with non-multibyte-safe code, leading to incorrect result length and assertion failure. (Bug #42511)
A malformed packet sent by the server when the query cache was in use resulted in lost-connection errors. (Bug #42503)
Multiple-statement execution could fail. (Bug #40877)
CREATE TABLEfailed if a column referred to in an index definition and foreign key definition had different lettercases in the two definitions. (Bug #39932)
mysqlcheck behaved differently depending on the order in which options were given on the command line. (Bug #35269)
When invoked to display a help message, mysqld also displayed spurious warning or error messages. (Bug #30025)

Gabriel Landeskog: things could be better in Sweden. He smashes glass in frustration
[media-credit name="Karl Gehring, The Denver Post" align="alignright" width="275″]
Hey, we've all broken something when mad before. I did a pretty nice job on a static-y radio once after trying unsuccessfully to listen in on an important game. And I slammed a car door nice and super hard one time, enough to knock the window loose.
We can add Gabriel Landeskog to the breakage list now too. According to a story in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, our own Avs NHL rookie of the year smashed a pane of glass in the arena on his way to the dressing room in frustration, during a loss that put his team in NINTH place in the league – which isn't even the best league in the country. Apparently, he pulled a box down or something and then it smashed some glass. Or something.
Here is the hilarious google translation of the story. Keep in mind that Landeskog's last name translates to "Country Forest" on google. I did get an email from the author of the piece, Emil Karlsson, who said Landy was very sorry for what he did. Hey, it's hockey. Here's the translation:
"A frustrated Gabriel Country Forest smashed a box of playing time after Djurgårdens loss against Södertälje.
Now ask the star to apologize.
– It was stupid of me. Of course I pay the damages, he says rakryggat.
Gabriel Country Forest. Gabriel Country Forest. Photo: PiC-Agency
Emotions ran high in Djurgården camp during the 4-2 loss against Södertälje in 08-derby.
The star Douglas Murray received a match penalty after being scolded referee Chris Lärking and even Jimmie Ölvestad got ten minutes for "Abuse of Officials."
After the match continued to go hot. Djurgårdens star Gabriel Country Forest, 19, smashed a window when he was in playing time on the way to the locker room.
– Country Forest pulled down a box with his stick on the way back into the locker room. Not so nice maybe. What can the club afford, 2000 bucks? And then the box, 3000 or something. But Country Forest has enough council, said an official of the local newspaper, and looked towards the broken window pane in AXA Sports Center.
"Pure accident '
When Sportbladet get Country Forest he is sincerely repentant.
– Of course I hit absolutely not break a window on purpose, I think that most people understand. Those who know me know that I would not do so. Then … we just lost an emotional game, then the feelings turn over. I was frustrated and thought it was good to hit the club in frustration. I played on the edge, the club gave way, and the glass broke. It was a pure accident and of course I pay for the damages, he said.
Gabriel Country Forest was assistant captain of the Three Crowns during the World Cup last spring and this summer he was appointed captain of the Colorado Avalanche. He became the youngest in the entire NHL history to put a C on the shirt.
– As a role model for young hockey players, this is not something I want them to emulate. But I'm an emotional player and I think all hockey players know how frustrated you can be after a loss. But there are no excuses for what happened. Too bad if people think I did it on purpose.
"Must check us out in the mirror"
Country Forest outbreak seems significant for Djurgårdens situation right now. Most champions have three straight losses and is after 16 rounds in ninth place with four points up to the mark which play off the qualification matches.
– It is clear that it is frustrating, we are further down the table than what we want to do. It's easy to make excuses and blame the man in the striped. But there's no time for feeling sorry for ourselves. It is we who have put us in this situation and it is we who have to get us out of it. We need to check ourselves in the mirror and put these games behind us.
You pulled on you two expulsions today?
– They were two accurate assessments of the judge, the club was up at the waist and then armpit. Opponents might have had no more deportation, but it seems to be well always.
Finally, Gabriel Country Forest greetings to Södertälje.
– I actually tried to get hold of a janitor so I could leave my contact information. Reads one in Södertälje this, they may feel free to contact me.

French: Weak argument on gun control
John Crone's letter to the editor concerning Sheriff Minor's firearms position is a good example of the hidden side of everything. His points espouse some degree of ignorance concerning existing firearms laws, firearms statistic and constitutional foundation.
Mr. Crone twists the sheriff's assertion that everyone should possess guns.
"Do you truly believe that everyone should be allowed to possess a gun?"
I have a hunch, as I suspect the vast majority of readers did, that the sheriff was inferring all law-abiding citizens should rightfully possess legal firearms if they so choose. Mr. Crone wastes far too much ink and editorial space twisting the message to support his weak position.
Suggesting that Sheriff Minor advocates firearm possession by criminals is precisely the type of liberal rhetoric that whips up the debate and leads to exactly the opposite outcome desired; law-abiding citizens rushing to gun shows to buy whatever they can in advance of possible firearms bans.
By simply introducing a debate on gun control, the effect has been a near-doubling of assault-like weapons on the streets of America. Basic economics tells us that the more you attempt to constrain access, the greater the demand. 3.7 million guns were manufactured in 2007; 6.1 million in 2011. Almost 9 million firearms will be manufactured in 2013.
Comparing the crime rate in the United States to relatively small countries without factoring in the freedoms we enjoy in America, is silly. Yet another distortion intended to demonstrate that we are a society of gun-slinging cowboys who should mimic cultures east and west of us. We're not Europe and we're not Asia. Perhaps Mr. Crone should evaluate the crime rate data in these countries for homicides unrelated to firearms.
Bill French, Dillon

A colonial hotel struggles in revolutionary Egypt
- Antique rotary phones are used to call the front desk
- Few visitors are coming to Cairo during the past three years
- The hotel has long been popular with archaeologists%2C Egyptologists%2C academics
CAIRO — The Windsor Hotel isn't easy to find tucked between lofty, dust-covered buildings, thick knots of motorbikes and crowded tea shops.
But its entrance, framed by decrepit lanterns and the hotel's original sign, looks like a haven lost in time as one peers into its glimmering lobby.
As Egypt grapples with political strife that smothered the tourism industry, hotel proprietors such as those at the Windsor are holding their breath, hoping this week's vote on a proposed new constitution will help bring an end to a prolonged period of toil.
Relatively few visitors have come to Cairo during the past three years. Yet those who are can often visit the Windsor, a onetime British Officer's Club, to catch a rare, nearly unchanged glimpse into Egypt's colonial past when England was at its height as a world empire.
Vintage travel posters line the foyer's walls. An ancient elevator, enclosed in wrought iron gates, is operated manually by a liftman. Upstairs guest rooms squeak underfoot from the original hardwood floors.
Antique rotary phones are used to call the front desk, which uses a switchboard.
"I've been coming here for 30 years," said Peter Narainbas, an Indian businessman based in Hong Kong who often stays at the Windsor for months at a time. "This is the antique place, and it's right downtown with everything nearby."
The hotel on a street named Alfi Bey is by no means a luxury accommodation. Guests won't find flat screen TVs, in-room coffee makers, modern furniture, plush bedding or bathroom robes. But for as little as $36 a night one can pretend to be back in the days of Lawrence of Arabia and genteel hotel life.
A short walk from Tahrir Square, the center of the uprising that had led to three years of violence and uncertainty, the Windsor building was built in 1893 as part of a bath complex for Egypt's royalty and became a popular watering hole for British military men at the turn of the century.
Back then the hotel was next to a sprawling garden where the king's musicians would perform under a gazebo. The area was an entertainment hub home to bustling restaurants and bars including the Parisiana café, the Royal Opera House, which was built for the opening of the Suez Canal, and several cinemas.
"It was always a booming place, with a lot of elegance," said Marileez Doss Suter, one of the hotel owners.
When the revolution of 1952 overthrew the British-backed King Farouk, a slew of buildings were attacked in anti-British riots. Among those that burned was the grand Shepheard Hotel, which hosted luminaries such as the Aga Khan and Mark Twain, and used the Windsor as an annex.
In ensuing decades the neighborhood devolved into a rundown district.
"When it started to change, we thought it was terrible," Doss Suter said. "But now, I admire it. Tourists like to come and sit in the cafes. It has a charm about it."
The hotel has long been popular with archaeologists, Egyptologists, academics and history professors, the owners said. But since an uprising three years ago, would-be guests have tended to stay away.
On a recent evening, Narainbas, the businessman, was the only guest staying in the 51-room, seven-story building.
"Now we are fighting to survive," said hotel manager and co-owner Wafik Doss.
That wasn't how Wafik's father, William Doss, envisioned things going when he bought the property in 1962. After spending his early life working in agriculture, William lost his factory and land to nationalization under Gamal Abdel Nasser, the second president of Egypt.
Tourism, he thought, was going to boom, so he bought the Windsor Hotel and transitioned to the new industry.
Things went well for a while. But now, all William — an Egyptian Christian who is still jovial at 98 years old — can do is wait for the situation to improve.
This week, Egyptians voted on a proposed new constitution that supporters like the Doss family hope will lead to a new political process that can help turn things around and maybe even bring tourists back to the capital.
And perhaps then the Barrel Bar will again become the place to be.
Named after chairs here made from dark, wooden staves, it is among the most historically fascinating places to have a drink in Cairo. One can easily picture former British officer T.E. Lawrence, who organized Arab nomads into fighting forces in World War I, resting a drink on one of the low cocktail tables.
A proper British afternoon tea complete with breads or pastries is served as well by a barman who has been at the Windsor for 34 years amid the gazelle antlers on the walls and original lighting fixtures.
"It's truly a sanctuary in the middle of the hustle and bustle," Doss Suter says. "The walls are oozing in history."

Find your picture, and open with UGA.
Add several new frames. I used 30 frames total this time, plus one for the delay at the end.
To copy and paste your image from frame 1 into frame 2, highlight your object, at the right.
Go to edit, copy. Go to frame 2. Click edit, paste.
You should now have two frames of the same image. Leave frame 1 alone. Go to frame 2. Highlight your object.
Click Transform tool, method resize.
Your image should have a black line around it, with black squares at each corner and at the midpoint of each side.
Look to the right, where your object is highlighted. Note the objects width and height. If your lizard will crawl up or down the page, click a square on the left or right side. If you click a square at the left, drag it toward the right, and if you use a square at the right, drag it toward the left until the number next to the W (for width) is the same as it was before you started dragging. If, like mine, he will crawl right or left, click a square on the top or bottom. If you click a square on the top, drag it toward the bottom and if you use a square on the bottom, drag it toward the top until the number next to the H (for height) is the same as it was before you started dragging. Youll have to release the mouse button in order to see the number change. If it is not right, just drag the square a little more, until you get the right number. My lizards height is 48, so I will click and drag until it is 48 again. Your image might disappear off the page. That is okay, it is supposed to do that.
To be able to see your image again, click the pick tool.
Under alignment, center horizontally or vertically, whichever is necessary. Or both, it doesnt matter.
Now we have our two images, which are all we need to make the lizard crawl. Go back to frame 1. Highlight, copy and paste your object into frame 3, and into every other odd numbered frame. Go to frame 2. Highlight, copy and paste the object into each of the even numbered frames.
Next, position him in each frame. Go to frame 1. Position the lizard so that its nose is starting to peek out from the edge of the canvas. The rest of him will be hidden. Right click your object in the frame, click object properties, position and size.
If he will be crawling left or right, use left and leave top alone. If he will be crawling up or down, use top and leave left alone. My lizard will crawl from right to left, so I will change the number for left until the lizard is in the proper position. Go to frame 2 and repeat. Remember the number from the first frame. Add or subtract (depending on the direction he is crawling) from the number you had for top or left in the first frame. The amount to add or subtract will depend on the overall size of your picture, and how fast you want him to move. Mine ended up at left, 90 in the first frame. I will move him by 20 each time. Since he is going from right to left, I need to subtract each time. 90 20 = 70, so frame 2s object will be at position left, 70. Go to frame 3 and add or subtract the same number again. Mine will be left, 50 this time. Repeat for each frame, until all you see is the tip of the lizards tail. This will be your last frame. You may need to add or delete frames. If you need to add frames, remember to copy/paste the lizard that is in frame 1 into the odd frames and the lizard that is in frame 2 into the even ones.
Adjust the timing. Highlight the frames at the bottom. Highlight the first frame, hold down the shift key and highlight the last frame. Right click on one of the frames and click frame properties. Choose delay, 25 and pick removal method, smart. If you don't choose smart, you may end up with unwanted duplicate/shadow images in your finished animation.
If it is too fast, change the delay to a higher number, and if it is too slow, change the delay to a lower number. Preview and change it until it is the right speed.
Since my lizard is on a white background and the rest of the animation is transparent, it will not look right unless I add a white background to the rest of the picture as well. You can skip this part if your animation is on a transparent background and you do not want to add one.
To add a background, go to frame 1. Right click anywhere on the canvas. Click new blank object.
Choose the fill tool. Pick white (or whatever color your background will be). Click on the canvas to color the background.
Use the pick tool. Under order, click send to back.
Go to each frame and highlight the background so it will show up in each frame.
If you like, add a new frame after your last frame and add your background to it. Adjust the delay for this frame only, for however long you want it to wait before starting the animation again. Make sure the other frames are unhighlighted. Right click on the frame you want to change and choose frame properties. I chose delay 200, removal method smart.
Click file, save as GIF.

They will come specially from Italy to give a rock'n'roll touch to Country Rendez Vous! Watch for honky tonk with Del Rio Ramblers coming straight from the United States.

Yum Brands Says The Chinese Still Love KFC
By Julie Jargon
Yum Brands Inc. executives vigorously defended their business in China at an investor conference on Thursday after the stock fell last week on news that the company's same-store sales there would drop 4% in the fourth quarter, after rising 21% in the year-earlier period.
The company, which owns KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, blamed the decline, in part, on the softening Chinese economy. GDP growth has slowed in China in recent years, from 10.4% in 2010 to 7.5% this year.
"But we've never whined about the macros," Yum Chief Executive David Novak told investors. "We think it can be more attributed to our over-estimation of our ability to lap a 21% same-store sales increase in the last year."
The last time the company posted negative same-store sales in China was in 2009. Since then, Mr. Novak said, the average annual sales at its restaurants in China went from about $1.3 million to $1.8 million and 2,000 new restaurants have been opened.
The company is now estimating mid-single-digit same-store sales growth for China in 2013 and plans to open another 700 restaurants there next year.
Yum China executives said that high rent and labor costs in populous cities such as Shanghai have eaten into profits, so they will be focusing more of their growth on so-called "lower-tier" cities across the Mainland.
The company said it is boosting its round-the-clock offerings at KFC, it's biggest chain in China, with expanded breakfast, lunch, dinner, late-night and delivery options and more "value" offerings. At its Pizza Hut restaurants, the company is providing free afternoon drink refills, which they say competes head-on with Starbucks. They're also expanding the Pizza Hut menu beyond pizza to include broader offerings of both Western and Chinese food. For example, Pizza Huts in China will offer a new sizzling steak and are testing breakfast items.
"I believe in our China business model as much today as ever," Mr. Novak said.

A curious thing happened yesterday, and it happened again today. On Tuesday, November 19, Walla Walla had a high temperature of 57. It was balmy and rainy, and was almost too warm for the heavier jackets many of us had finally pulled out of the closet after their long rests, donning them in anticipation of the colder months and gradual decline in temperature. I know that I at least was forced to take my jacket off on my morning walk to work, and again as I walked home in the evening.
Then the curious thing happened. The day ended, night set up over a warm Walla Walla, and we all sequestered ourselves in our homes, our apartments, our residence halls and houses. We forgot about the outside, at least for the few hours we were indoors, enjoying the wonders of climate controlled housing. We went to sleep, not thinking too hard about winter or fall or the weather at all. Then, Wednesday, November 20th, Winter, which had been a long time in coming, finally decided to show up. In the space of a day, we went from a high of 57 to a high of 37. Today, Thursday the 21st, we have a high of 34 and a low of 25. Tomorrow, Friday the 22nd, we have a low of 19.
Winter is officially here.
The onset of winter means a lot of different things for a lot of different people. For our students from Southern California, where winter temperatures often range in the sixties, this can be a confusing and rather chilly time of year. For students from the east coast and several other midwest states, it's just a drop in temperature not really worth noticing (side story: I once told a student I was interviewing that it got cold in the winter. When she asked how cold and I told her it would set up around the 30's and stay there, she laughed at me. She was from northern Minnesota). For all of our students, it means both Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break are just around the corner, respites from the long, hard battle of the Fall Semester.
In the world of admission, winter is exciting on both sides of the desk. For high school students, it means applications are just around the corner (I will admit this might be more nerve-wracking than exciting, but bear with me), with their college admission decisions not far behind. Through the end of November and all of December, the scattered flurries of applications pick up in intensity, escalating into a full on blizzard of submissions to colleges. Essays are edited, letters of recommendation are written, and applications are double, triple, maybe even quadruple checked, all before finally hitting that submit button, or before sealing the envelope, slapping on the postage, and throwing it all in the mailbox before second thoughts can form, lest the envelope be opened and the application worked on even more. It's a hectic time, a very busy time, and depending on where you are, probably a very cold time.
For us here in the Whitman College Office of Admission, winter means similar things, but it also carries other connotations. To start, it means that the long travel season has come to a close (I apologize for the lack of updates caused by my month on the road). All of us, minus our regional representatives, have found our way back to the office, to home base, where we are now busy both catching up on work and sleep put aside during the month of October, and settling back into our daily routines. It also means, for us, that reading season is just over the horizon. The first of our two Early Decision deadlines just passed, and we're now sorting through all of the shiny new applications, getting ready to tackle them. In another couple of months, once January hits, we'll be hunkering down in our offices, bundled up against the cold outside with more applications than you can shake a stick at for company. It's a hard process, but in many ways it's also one of the most exciting parts of the job, the next step in the admission cycle as we work towards building the next incoming class, in this instance the class of 2018.
So pull out your winter jackets if you haven't already, wrap up warm with your favorite scarfs and blankets, and get ready for the winter months. They'll be cold, of that there's little doubt, but I can absolutely guarantee they'll be exciting.
Until next time.

The million dollar and up market in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood has been quite vibrant over the last 180 days. There have been 22 SOLD Queen Anne homes for sale in the MLS priced at over a million dollars. These Queen Anne luxury homes and historic homes have had a final sales price ranging from $1,011,060 to $2,700,000. The median price for these was $1,321,500 and they had an overall sale price to listing price percentage of 99.41% with a range of 87.53% to 112.86%. Ten of these sold Queen Anne homes went for over full price. Despite this, the average days on market was 81 days with 9 of these homes on the market for a week, one of them on the market for 32 days, one on for 42 days, and the rest of them on the market for anywhere from 76 days to 307 days.
One of the more impressive Queen Anne homes on the lower end of this million dollar and up price range was 357 Highland Dr. It was listed on the market for $1,050,000 and sold in 2 days for $1,185,000 (112.86% over list).
There is one pending feasibility property and two pending inspection Queen Anne homes currently. They are priced between $1,100,000 and $3,495,000. There are six pending Queen Anne homes in escrow at the moment, although that can change by the hour… These range in list price from $1,225,000 to $2,495,000 with a median price of $1,725,000 and all but one were on the market for far less than a month.
There are 14 Queen Anne homes for sale in the million dollar and up price range. These range in price from $1,195,000 to $11,500,000 with a median price of $2,499,000. You can find a lot of the stately homes on the Queen Anne South slope. Additionally if you are interested in Seattle historic mansions, then you should look at other neighborhoods as well as Queen Anne. There are many choices across the Puget Sound for Seattle Luxury Homes, but Queen Anne is always one of my first picks.

"Soft hands and strong hara, weight underside, breathing naturally flowing, balance, both feet on the ground are training tools."
Soft hands, strong hara further reflect spiritual equilibrium. Good manners and reasonable behaviours that refrain from unseemly arguments not inflaming conflict enhance the heaven and earth balance.
Strong at the core and accommodating at the perimeter is Aikido. Not only as dojo practice but also as a universal principle.
Unskilled dilettantes reverse that and thereby reveal their status. I can't put it more bluntly to make clear what to correct.
Top heavy use of force is bound for a fall. This applies to everything. Without a foundation even the best house cannot stand, but merely makes itself an inconvenience until it fails and falls.
This in all things. You cannot have "heaven" without "earth," or vice versa. Yin and yang are mutually reliant and mutually inclusive opposites that ultimately mutually enhance.
Simple principles of existence when applied, serve well.
It is preferable and more sustainable to trade good, services and cultural wisdom than bullets, bombs and devastation. Either path has a tendency to escalate towards a logical conclusion. The choice, if we love future generations, is a no-brainer.
The practicality of training Aikido calls upon universal principles to refine itself and transform the practitioner. This cannot be bought or faked but must be earned. There is no other way possible.
The ancient Minamotos were horsemen. To be able to stay on a horse in battle and for long hours it necessitates letting go of certain excrescent predispositions that have become the habits of the arrogant, clumsy, hairless ape.
Such as top-heaviness, the use of force, strong hands ruled by a weak centre, lack of mental, moral and physical balance, tight clothes, sloppy breathing habits and all those things that run counter to the great harmony that rules and guides the universe.
We need to become restored to the true condition of the human, largely lost over aeons of bad habits which have brought the planet, its life supporting systems and things of vital importance to its knees in the ways that matter.
You may deny, rant and gibber all you want. The universe will not change one sub-atomic particle to anyone's opinion. We can rally and destroy ourselves, or we can yield to factuality, learn a lesson or two and get on with the business of thriving. Nature's economies will not carry parasites. Or those choosing deceit.
For the body-mind connection to reintegrate, certain conditions must be met. This is the beginning of human restoration. Chasing after temporal things is not going to fix anything, rather add to the problems.
Aikido training is not an arbitrarily invented "style" made up just to be different. Nor is it a "belief system to be imposed. Rather it is a means that can teach us to notice things as they are. This comes from the observation, articulation and implementation of the laws of the universe through the human being and therefore, over time restores the operating system. All it takes is regular movement redesigned to reconcile force.
The benefits can only be earned and there is a lot of letting go of false values and "perceptions" and "views" on the way. Only factuality can sustain. Take it or leave it. That's the way it is.
As I said, the universe is not going to change to accommodate mental illness. We have to let go of the diseased state and embrace the harmony as it is and no other way. The universe will not compromise because we think we love Jesus or something, and that somehow such an idea will absolve us of incorrect activity. It won't. Look around you. It hasn't. It will continue not to until we correct our minds, hearts and actions.
The way we move is a key working tool in this direction. Finding Aiki is the key that unlocks it all.
Soft hands and strong hara, weight underside, breathing naturally flowing, balance, both feet on the ground are training tools. Simple things that when meeting challenge, such as an attack, can serve to align you with harmony and the movements of nature when complied with. Or the opposite when not.
There is no other bridge between heaven and earth than the human being. But before it can act as such a bridge and connecting conductor of opposites, instead of a mere obstruction inviting to be flushed out, it must first correct itself.
This will not be handed out by mythological figures, but has to be earned by each living individual. Or not. It's entirely our choice whether to prioritise what matters, or trivia.
In the end, we judge ourselves by what we placed first. Entering the flow of harmony or running counter to it.
Nature does not care. God will not interfere.
We have the tools. The choice is entirely our own.
Until we learn to heal and restore the body-mind connection in its entirety and make this a priority of human life, our doings will continue to reflect the dysfunction that prevails.
In the meantime it is something you can neither hide nor fake but which whips you and those around you. The attrition of current human existence is telling you something.
There is only one place to start making corrections and that's with youself.
I don't believe that whimsical deities "make us in their image so they can derive glee by "punishing us" on an arbitrary "day of judgment." We are obviously defective or at least incomplete. This speaks of the so called "image" of a would be maker who would then be defective and incomplete as well as a psychopath who enjoys inflicting meaningless pain and suffering. It does not resonate with either reason or logic or anything else.
More likely it is, that we can choose to awaken to conditions as they are, and learn to use them well. Creation with all its tools is laid out for our use or misuse. And we reap the rewards of action commensurately. To the extent that we have done so myopically, greedily and partially, whether by neglect or volitional abuse, we have created increasingly worse disasters and are heading towards manufacturing our own cataclysms of global proportions.
The same intelligence can be used otherwise, to make better, improved conditions by learning about the application of harmony. Heaven on earth, if you will, through the refinement of all sciences and arts include social ones.
When our thinking is clear then our actions will follow. It's not our rhetoric that speaks of who we are, but our footsteps and actions and the direction whence these lead.
Actions are impulses taken to their conclusion because of thought, intention and thinking. When we clarify our thinking and feeling then the actions and restrain that follows will reflect that thinking.
An upright stance and posture reflect a healthy state of mind. Clear perception, in the true meaning of the word "perception" which is "to perceive, notice, observe, see" and not "opinion."
Opinion requires endless resources to back up error, such as money. Lies require more lies to hold them up like a house of cards built on sand, which a faint zephyr can demolish in an instant. When constructs such as money, reflecting attitudes, run out, real resources follow and we are then called upon to again look within and exercise our own faculties wherewith to see clearly because there is no more backup of credit to subsidise error.
The economies of nature and the universe, billions of years old, contain the wisdom of experience in what works. They are not based on opinions or arbitrary temporal theories, but simply what works and will continue to work.
The overriding principle is a solid core and balance, integrity in both actuality and predisposed attitudes; and an accommodating perimeter. We, as species, would be well advised to take heed. While we are still in a position to do so.
And then as a collective of functional individuals, learn to live accordingly, thereby ensuring our sustained existence.

Eagles win final thriller
Gerringong fullback Joel Roberts splits the Albion Park-Oak Flats defence during his strong display during Sunday?s 16-14 grand final loss at Centenary Field. Picture: KIAMA PICTURE CO Gerringong fullback Joel Roberts splits the Albion Park-Oak Flats defence during his strong display during Sunday?s 16-14 grand final loss at Centenary Field. Picture: KIAMA PICTURE COKPC48166.JPG
IT doesn't get any better.
That's the view of Albion Park-Oak Flats coach Jason Hooper after his side took out the Group 7 Rugby League first grade premiership in a 16-14 thriller against Gerringong.
"We just defended and defended against the best attacking team in the comp," he said.
The Park survived a last-second scare and a player sent off to win a brutal contest at Centenary Field on Sunday.
The Eagles led by two points when Lions fullback Joel Roberts had the chance to send the game into golden point with a conversion from out wide after the final siren.
The kick hit the post, the Park claiming their first premiership since 2009.
The win was characterised by a gruelling first half during which the Lions threw everything at the Eagles defence, only to trail 6-0 at the break.
Eagles forward Matt Jarrett was given an early shower in the 53rd minute for a high shot on prop Justin O'Hare, who took no further part in the contest.
The Lions dominated field position but the Park's defence was harder to crack than a top-secret government code.
The Eagles opened the scoring in the 28th minute through man of the match Dean Gray.
Evasive fullback Danny Sartori made it 10-0. Tries to Kal Collins and David Catterall locked up the scores, but Gerringong hooker Nathan Ford and skipper Ryan Staples both left the field injured.
The Park led 12-10 via a penalty goal before Chris Daniels extended it to 16-0.
Lions halfback Rixon Russell put up a towering hail Mary bomb as the last play of the day and Roberts scored the try.
Minor premiers, the Lions only lost two matches in 2012, both against the Park during the playoffs. Hooper felt his side was capable of victory, even following Jarrett's dismissal.
"We completed our sets and just toughed it out; it doesn't get any better than that," he said.
Lions coach Mick Cronin believed Roberts struck the final conversion well enough. "I thought, 'he's hit this pretty well' and the way everyone was looking, but it hit the upright," he lamented.

I am looking for a logo for my new company - td designs. I do structural and architectural design and drafting work using AutoCad, and specializing in roof design.Â
This logo will be used on each drawing that I do and will be placed in the Title Block, and I would like to have a business card designed that will also show this logo.
On the business card somewhere I would like it to say - CAD Drafting and Design Services, along with my name, number, and email.
One thing I like is opposing colors on biz cards, like where TD would be in a shade of green and the background would be in white, then the other half of the card would be in green and Designs would be in white, or something like that. But I don't want all of your designs to show that - I want to see your own creations too please. I am pretty open at this point, but I would like it to be pretty simple. I also like the idea of all lower case letters, but again I want to see a variety of designs. This logo will also be used on a letterhead at some point.  Please show me what you got. Thanks!

my question(s) are as follows:1.) How much current can the CR2032 give? I have looked and not only do I see different numbers.. I usually only see it for mAh... not mA? Im thinking I need about
I understand that these CR2032's are mostly for high energy, low power projects...
and I guess Im needing the opposite... or at least just more current.
2.) The space/area I have to work with.. really is only suited for a 'coin cell' type of battery... it can be a little 'bigger' (23mm diameter I think I have room for?.. maybe a bit more if needed)... Is there anything out there that can work for my needs?
3.) Is there a value/sepc on these datasheets Im supposed to be looking for/at to see if the battery can DELIVER the current I need?
Secondary question... about my PSU (benchtop Mastech HY1803DL)I set the voltage to +3vI set the current to be 'about' .10-.11 Amps (100-110mA)when I connect it to my project..and power it on..I see the current LCD screen 'jump'.. to about .06A....... when I press the button and trigger an audio clip to play.. I see the current LCD screen on my PSU jump to about .08AIm curious as to what my current LCD screen is 'reflecting' (telling me).. is this the current 'draw' of my project? (kinda cool/nice if it is...nice way to 'tell')thanks!!

The many symptoms, faces and expressions of multiple sclerosis are not unlike a word with several definitions. When scholar William Ockham wrote "Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate" (sorry, the inner geek who was his Latin Club's president comes out every now and then… "Plurality should not be posited without necessity"), which later became known as the Law of Parsimony, it wasn't to describe tightfisted stinginess.
Rather, the Principle oft called "Ockham's Razor" was intended to give precedence to simplicity when weighing probable reasoning. In other words; all things being equal, the simplest explanation tends to be the right one. While I formerly lived my life looking for the hard answers, the difficult to discover and the most complicated and intricate ways to professionally dazzle; I now think that Ockham was on to something.
I'm not saying that I don't try to push myself to do the difficult things anymore. What it means is that I look for the simplest way to get those tasks completed… while still doing them well.
Just as a scientist struggling with two opposing theories can save mental energy by choosing to explore the path with the fewest obstacles, I too have taken to using parsimony to go get from proverbial Point A to actual Point B.
The newer use of the word parsimony may be the one which jumps into most heads in these difficult economic times. That meaning has to do with economy (Ockham's Razor is sometimes also called the Law of Economy). It is said to be a state of being careful and thrifty with money or resources.
Well, MS has created the need to be careful and thrifty with both of those!
I also have taken a new look at what those "resources" are when I think of life with MS. Resources aren't just my finances and the stuff which I have accumulated over my life. The energy with which I get on with my day to day life is a resource and how I spend from my energy checkbook might be considered stingy by some. It is, rather, a simple survival tactic which each of us must learn.
Saying "No, I can't do that" isn't being stingy or greedy with our energy. Saying "no" to this may allow us to do that, which is really what either must be done or we would rather do with our time and energy. It has taken me many years (and innumerable speeches from those who truly care for me) for me to get my head around this idea. Saying "no" to someone else may actually be saying "yes" to myself and my health.
So, I look forward to being mindful of how I spend myself (and thinking of it as spending myself helps me to understand it better sometimes) and I will posit plurality only when necessary. I only have the energy for so many difficulties at a time.
Wishing you and your family the best of health (and, today, simplicity)
