Evoking harrowing memories of Hurricane Katrina, 300 patients were evacuated floor by floor from a premier hospital that lost generator power at the height of superstorm Sandy.
Rescuers and staff at New York University Langone Medical Center, some making 10 to 15 trips down darkened stairwells, began their mission Monday night, the youngest and sickest first, finishing about 15 hours later.
Among the first out were 20 babies in neonatal intensive care, some on battery- powered respirators.

WARNING: Contains spoilers for those who have not yet watched the series 6 Christmas Special
In a blog post of the same title, I have pointed out how the historical reality facing millions of women of all classes after the First World War meant that Lady Mary's story line since series 4 which culminated in a second marriage was anachronistic, poorly handled and illustrated how bankrupt Downton's narrative has become since Matthew's death.
This year's Christmas special which signals the end of this programme after six series in my opinion was highly unsatisfactory and contrived. However since Downton has barely lived up to its hype then perhaps I was expecting too much but as the Christmas special dragged on with nothing happening and transmogrifying into an episode of the popular 1990s programme Blind Date, all that was missing was an appearance from Cilla Black who fronted the programme in order to liven up what was essentially a lifeless, lacklustre and laboured two hours.
One by one, characters were being paired up and happy endings clunked into place, with even Isobel Crawley finally tying the knot with Lord Merton after some skulduggery from her and the Dowager Countess to rescue him from his odious son and daughter-in-law, and a hint that Mrs Patmore and Mr Mason will get their happily ever after. The piece de la resistance however was the marriage of Lady Edith to Bertie Pelham (now the Marquess of Hexham after the sudden death of the incumbent who happened to a distant cousin – shades of Matthew Crawley here). If one recalls what happened in series 6, it was Edith's inability to disclose the true identity of her daughter Marigold that scuppered her chances of marriage to Pelham and it is only after the usual convoluted twists and turns that the Christmas special ended in marriage between the two.
It might just be me but I found myself unmoved by the wedding and thought it was a cop out especially in light of the fact that Edith is also in her thirties which by the standards of the 1920s is middle aged, already has a daughter and crucially has the resources to make the most of the greater opportunities afforded to women during this period.
One aspect that made Edith different from her sister Mary apart from the clichéd "unlucky in life and love" is that midway in series 3 she starts a career in writing after a letter she writes to a newspaper is noticed by a magazine editor, Michael Gregson, who offers her a job in his magazine. This being Downton Abbey where everyone's right to an emotional relationship is paramount, she begins a relationship with Gregson which is essentially a rebound after being jilted at the altar by Sir Anthony Strallan. To cut a long story short, he is married but gets her pregnant then disappears to Germany in order to obtain citizenship which will enable him to divorce his mentally disabled wife and marry Edith. Later he turns up dead and she is left with a daughter whose existence she contrives to keep a secret from her own immediate family.
As a result of Gregson's death, she is left his estate which includes his home in London and ownership of his magazine. Yet again however, any potential for this to show viewers that women such as Edith have more options than marriage and motherhood after the war is shunted aside in favour of her disastrous love life which casts her as either Downton's answer to Job from the Bible or the Strictly Come Dancing professional Anton du Beke: forever lumbered with disasters and duds. In an interview, Julian Fellowes claimed that certain people are doomed to be forever unlucky which to me betrays a lack of understanding of human nature and the idea that people are the architects of their own destiny and that luck only plays a small part in a person's fate.
While no doubt that Edith and Bertie's wedding pleased the fans, I thought this was again another sign of Fellowes not wanting to be more original and that historical accuracy which he claims is important to him rings hollow. The wedding shows his obsession with marriage and the emotional life that he has imposed pretty much on every character with since the end of series 2 in the absence of a coherent narrative. While there was much crowing that Edith would become a marchioness and chatelaine of a large castle (conveniently forgetting that Bertie's predecessor was essentially bankrupt) as demonstrated by her parents' embarrassing behaviour in acting like Mr and Mrs Crawley from Pinner whose daughter has landed a jackpot on the marriage market, in reality this wedding is a Pyrrhic victory. The determination of her new mother-in-law to make her a chatelaine and her son into an exemplary moral landlord shows a denial of the reality that this this way of life is dying – so in effect Edith has essentially been shackled to the past she was making every attempt to leave behind.
Having Edith also get married also shows how Fellowes just like with Mary ignores the alternatives that are open to a woman like her. Given that Edith (like Mary) is also in her thirties and hence considered middle aged, she would have been overlooked by men who had several seasons worth of debutantes to choose from. And the fact that Pelham is now a marquess, in real life someone like him would be more inclined to choose a younger woman who could bear children (preferably sons) in order for Pelham to pass on the title and what's left of the estate: not a woman in her thirties whose family does not have a reputation for fertility.
I may be in the minority but I think it would have been better had Edith not married Bertie and instead moved permanently to London, taking Marigold with her and focus on building her career as a writer and magazine owner. Apart from reflecting more the historical reality of the period, Edith with her thriving career would demonstrate that beginning in the 1920s, women were becoming aware that there were alternatives to simply being wives and mothers. People were also increasingly looking to self-made personalities not aristocrats as role models and this signals another shift as the aristocracy are further pushed to the margins and into the realms of irrelevance.
Just like with Edith, Daisy Mason the assistant cook is another one who has been given short shrift by Fellowes. Apart from spending the full run of Downton Abbey whining and despite the education she has been given by several Good Samaritans, in the end the education and passing her examinations has been meaningless as she's paired with Andy the footman who has taken on a position with her father-in-law. For all the bellowing about "CHAAAAANNNNGGEEEE!" nothing has changed. Mrs Hughes is going to give up a job that gives her status, independence and respect to be nurse to a man who is crotchety and picky when he's well, never mind sick and has moreover had to hand over his cherished job and family to a hated rival – and you could see from the barely concealed smirk on Thomas's face how much he enjoyed that. Cora on the other hand, far from "spreading her wings" and becoming more independent has finally discovered after 35 years of idleness what she should have been doing as countess in the first place. It seems to me that what Fellowes is saying here, despite his admiration for strong women is that they shouldn't bother to exert their strength in improving themselves, carving out careers and making the world better. Instead they should simply get married and exert that strength by manipulating their husbands.
Going back to Edith; despite the bad choices, the tiresome squabbling with Mary and the appalling way she has used and abused the family who cared for Marigold, I always thought that she had the most potential to break away from the past and establish herself as her own person with a thriving business and career just as many real life women did in the 1920s. It seems here that what Fellowes is saying is that Edith has had a taste of freedom and independence with the magazine but just in case she gets too much of a taste for that and being her own woman she's been hauled back to do what women like her are supposed to do, which is marry, support her husband and prop up a way of life that's in its death throes. She says to Mary when she finds out her sister's role in bringing about the engagement that she, Edith, has her life back, but in reality she's had it taken away from her. She's swapped Cora and the Dowager for mother-in-law and just like she doesn't stand up to them I don't see her standing up to her mother-in-law; the circumstances in which Bertie broke up with her in the first place could return to haunt her at the first sign of trouble; and no doubt she'll be "encouraged" to give up the magazine as it doesn't fit with being a marchioness and a chatelaine. So far from a happy ending, Edith continues her run of disaster of Biblical proportions. Which is a tragedy of epic proportions really.

A good watch requires regular care in order to run to the best of its abilities. There are different processes of care as well as standard maintenance for all time pieces, and adhering to these various steps will help to keep your watch working with precision and accuracy.
What's more, much of these maintenance requirements can be done in the home, which allows you to keep on top of your watch care with ease and simplicity.
Let's take a look at proper watch care and how you can look after yours.
1. Keeping it clean
The basic thing to do with your watch is to keep it clean. This should be done every couple of months, especially if you wear the watch on a daily basis or relatively regularly. Use a soft and dry cloth to clean it. If the watch has a metal band and you wear it frequently then you should definitely clean it every two months; use warm, clean water to rinse the bracelet and then dry it thoroughly with that soft and dry cloth.
Watches with a leather band require more care. For one, you should not let a leather watchstrap come into contact with any of the following:
- Water
- Cosmetics and Makeup
- Moisturisers and Perfume
Leather straps are naturally more susceptible to damage from such products; however if the strap does become saturated then make sure you wipe and dry it thoroughly before using it again.
2. Winding
This entirely depends on the type of watch you own, but can be broken down as thus:
- Watches with a manual mechanical movement should be wound once a day, every day at the same time. The key is not to wind it too much; stop from the moment you feel resistance.
- Automatic watches only need to be manually wound once every two weeks if worn regularly, as automatic watches are self-winding.
- Watches with quartz movements should have their batteries replaced every few years. Quartz watches are more temperamental and susceptible to damage than others; they may be affected by equipment with strong magnetic fields or extreme temperatures. You can generally take care of a quartz watch on your own, but it's recommended that you take your watch to your dealer for a complete overhaul every three to five years to ensure the best results.
3. Water Resistance
It is recommended that you regularly have your watch checked for water resistance in order to ensure that your watch won't get damaged. In fact, some luxury-watch makers such as Michel Herbelin recommend that this is done every year. Wearing your watch in water is risky if you don't take the right precautions, but it can be done. Make sure that the crown is pushed down or screwed in properly before putting it in water, and do not make any adjustments to it once submerged. Afterwards, wash the watch carefully with fresh water, especially if the watch has been in salted or chlorinated water.
Taking care of your watch isn't particularly complicated, but it is something that requires regular, careful attention. Follow these steps and you'll be amazed by the results.

Simple DIY Electromagnetic Train from a Battery and Two Magnets
TranslatorsCafe.com Unit Converter: http://www.translatorscafe.com/cafe/EN/units-converter/magnetomotive-force/c/ To make a simple electric train we will need about 50 meters of uninsulated copper wire to make a coil, a couple of neodymium magnets, a battery (we can use an AA battery), and a foam or brass washer. We need the latter to surround the "bump" on the plus side of the battery, to level the surface and to keep the magnet from sliding away. We have to make sure that the diameter of the coil is wide enough to allow the magnets and the battery to slide through. A little graphite will act as conductive lubrication. We attach a magnet to the minus side of the battery and the other magnet to the plus side. Do not forget to add your foam or brass washer to the plus side before you add the magnets. We then position our train just inside the coil, and it will move in and through the coil on its own, because the system becomes an electromagnet. This is how our setup works. The train is a kind of a homopolar motor. The neodymium magnets act as the contacts of the battery, by connecting it to the uninsulated coil, which is wound around a tube or rod. The electric current that flows through the coil generates an electric field. This field interacts with the magnetic fields of the neodymium magnets and generates magnetomotive force that pushes one magnet and pulls the other one. Note: when building this setup, we have to be careful about using the correct winding side of the coil (left-wound or right wound coil), and the correct polarity of the magnet setup of our train. The south S pole of the front magnet connects to the plus side of the battery, while the north N pole of the second magnet is connected to the negative pole. If your setup is different, then you can simply flip the magnets over. In more simple terms, you can take a pair of magnets, make sure that they are pushing each other apart and then stick them to the battery. If it goes through the coil, you are done, if not — simply reverse it and it will go. If not, then you will have to reverse one of the magnets.

It's difficult for me to understand why anyone would care about anybody else's "real housewives," but that just shows how far behind the curve and out of it I am.
So I went down to the Balboa Theatre last night to see what Chicago's Second City comedy troupe's version has to offer.
I'm happy to report that "The Realish Housewives of San Diego: A Parody" (playing a short run through Feb. 7) is a total hoot.
The troupe of six, now on a national tour, operates from a skeletal script which is beefed up with local references as they travel from city to city.
It parodies the popular TV show by offering five "wives" (only one of whom is currently married), who talk to, about and over each other, spurred on by the show's host and instigator of conflict, Randy (Jackson Evans).
The women are fairly standard types. There's Ravonka (Lori McClain), the real royalty, who thinks she's the center of the universe. A baroness with an uncertain accent, she becomes known as "baronass" when the frequent henfights erupt.
Gwen (Katie Caussin), "now Mayor Faulconer's top adviser," took her husband's place on the city council when he unaccountably disappeared.
She has spent some time behind bars ("You were discovered making threatening phone calls to Chargers owner Dean Spanos," says Randy).
There's Brooke, in a lipstick-red pantsuit and lacy black top, who announces "I've been an entrepreneur all my life. Now I'm doing butt writing (on clothes), like "If you feel stuck, push harder."
C.L., the only current wife, gets to pick an audience member and pretend he's her husband. He was the real star here, announcing his name as "Lucky Me," which became a recurring joke.
Finally, obligatory blonde bimbo Desiree introduces herself this way: "I always stick my neck out for my friends. Maybe that's because I'm a neck model."
There's nothing heavy or important here. This is just a night to relax and laugh at the silliness. Playwrights Kate James and Tim Sniffen know how to get a laugh, and the local references only add to the merriment.
If you're as tired of politics as I am (or if you're just tired in general), these "realish housewives" will take you away from all that for an evening of fun and frivolity.
The details
"The Realish Housewives Of San Diego" plays through February 7, 2016 at the Balboa Theatre, 868 Fourth Avenue, Downtown.
Thursday at 7:30 pm; Friday at 5 and 8:30 pm; Saturday at 2 and 8 pm; Sunday at 1 pm

Online dating services seek to connect parties who may match well but would likely never meet.
Now the American Institute of Architects wants to use this concept to link two specific groups – developers of stalled construction projects and real estate investors searching for opportunities – via an online database. Officials believe the website could provide a boost for not only the construction industry, but also the entire U.S. economy.
"The idea in the near future is to create a Match.com-type site for those looking to invest and those developers with stalled projects," said Paul Mendelsohn, vice president of government and community relations for the AIA and a driving force behind the project. "We've learned from our membership that access to credit is one of the major hurdles, so through this mechanism we hope to help find some of that funding."
Mendelsohn said the AIA is looking for projects with features inherent for success, but that are not moving forward solely because traditional lenders are adopting conservative policies.
Projects in the database would be categorized by project type, location, energy efficiency components and other features. The database wouldn't rank project feasibility, Mendelsohn said, but it would provide as much information as an investor would need to make a decision.
AIA officials are preliminarily targeting mid-September for a launch of the basic site; expansion would take place in ensuing months. Mendelsohn said the association has received a lot of inquiries from investors, but it is just now working toward compiling stalled projects from around the country.
Saundra Stevens, executive vice president of both the Oregon and Portland chapters of AIA, said local members are excited that the AIA's plan is moving forward.
Local developer Jim Winkler said he could definitely see how the database could aid some people. He cited inexperienced developers who have an inherently good project but need some gap financing to make it work.
Winkler is working with Bob Naito to develop One Waterfront Place, a proposed 12-story, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design platinum office tower in Northwest Portland. But the database probably wouldn't help the stalled project, Winkler said.
"It's interesting, just not for us," he said. "For us, it's about getting the tenants, not the financing. We can get the financing if we have the spaces leased."
Winkler added that most established developers can get financing for office, industrial or retail projects if they have a good list of committed tenants. He said there would be no point in moving forward with a project if there were no one to occupy it.
" First & Main, ODS Tower and Fox Tower – those were all built with no tenants," he said. "But that just isn't happening anymore."
Another stalled project in Portland is Park Avenue West, last proposed as a 26-story, mixed-use tower. Construction of the downtown Portland project was put on hold in April 2009 because lenders' leasing requirements were not met. The project team has made numerous attempts to sign additional leases, and retool the building.
Vanessa Sturgeon, president of TMT Development, which is developing Park Avenue West, said she had not heard about the AIA database but would look into it further. When pressed if securing additional financing would push the project forward, she declined to comment.
While the AIA is hoping the database will restart projects, Mendelsohn said the bigger goal is to compile much needed data on how many and why projects are stalled.
"The original idea for this is to gather information to get in the hands of policy makers," he said. "Getting the building sector back on the streets will not only help architects and the others in the industry, it will help jump-start the entire economy."

Texas Longhorn Cattle aren't your average Ontario bred bovine. When you are up close and personal with one, it can be a little intimidating due to their impressive upward-curving horns that can grow up to 7 feet on a mature steer. But don't let these giant horns fool you into think this breed is aggressive, because it's exactly the opposite. Longhorns are a very subdued, gentle, and intelligent animal. Their traits are genetically fixed, resulting in ecologically adapted bovine with extremely good health, fertility, teeth, disease resistance, and soundness of body and limb. And, they are uniquely beautiful, no two are alike.
Bryan Gilvesy doesn't farm for the sake of a job, or for the money, he farms for the environment, the philosophy of sustainability and the satisfaction of providing real, healthy and humanely raised food.
Originally born into a successful tobacco business, Bryan took the opportunity in 1992 to transition from tobacco by investing in his first two Texas Longhorn cattle. Now, 25 years later, Bryan and his wife Cathy, daughter Paula, and son Joseph, have built a home, and business, they are proud of. Their business model is reflective of their love for the environment and belief in being completely transparent when it comes to their farming practices, "we believe in being transparent about the way we raise our beef, and that people should have a better understanding of what they are feeding their families."
The Gilvesy ranch is a quintessential local farm in Norfolk County, operating on 350 acres of grasslands. You may think, 'wait a minute, I thought this was a beef farm,' but that's what makes Bryan and Cathy's farm so remarkable. "We don't grow beef here, we grow grass. Our cattle is just the mechanism to harvest the grass, that turns into lean protein. We are driven by the energy of the sun, and are fitting into the native landscape," says Bryan. The Gilvesys work hard to fit their operation into the natural environment with a goal to ensure that the water that leaves is cleaner than before, and endangered species are preserved.
The Longhorn cattle breed thrive on grasslands with little interference by man, which means they are raised in the healthiest possible environment. "We raise Texas Longhorn Cattle under natural range conditions resulting in all natural beef that reflects our commitment to sustainability," says Bryan. "Our cows are able to walk and get their own feed, can calve unassisted, and easily handle the changing seasons."
"Our cattle are happy, and express this everyday through grazing. Mothers get to raise their calves, while they are learning how to be cattle from their mothers," says Bryan.
This farm is one of a kind, but what makes it "local" you might ask? YU Ranch is Local Food Plus (LFP) Certified by the award-winning Land Food People Foundation — nurturing regional food economies by certifying farmers and processors for local, sustainable food production.
The Gilvesy's farm is the kind of operation that others should strive to emulate – farming practices that protect the land and promote sustainability should be the norm. When you make the decision to support local farms, such as Bryan's, you can be the encouraging factor giving others that much needed "push" to follow in his footsteps.
When it comes to grass-fed beef, new research shows that traditional grass-based beef production and finishing actually benefits the environment by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing biodiversity of pasture ecosystems and improving quality of run-off water from well-managed pastures. Overall, grass-fed beef has actually been shown to reduce the carbon footprint and help the environment rather than hurt it.
"More beef, more birds, more bees, cleaner air and water. Purchase 100% grass fed beef for the taste and for your health, while experiencing the ecological harmony at YU Ranch" says Bryan.
YU Ranch is proud to work with the following businesses in Ontario:
Langdon Hall – Cambridge
Nota Bene Restaurant – Toronto
Lago Trattoria – Port Dover

Eat: Vegetable Quiche
This was the quiche I was talking about.
Do you remember why I love it?
1. It freezes well.
2. I always have eggs.
3. It's got vegetable in the name so it's gotta be healthy.
4. I always bake in pairs (hello instant freezer dinner).
5. It's really yummy! My picky 2 year old even eats it. Oh yeah!
|Want to get the scoop on the pie plate? Check this post out.
Oh, and this is my very own recipe. Prepare yourself for a Play Eat Grow original. Boom goes the dynamite! 🙂
Vegetable Quiche
makes 2 9-inch pies
2 unbaked pie crusts
6 slices of bacon (omit for vegetarian option, substitute 3 tbl oil)
3 onions, sliced into half moons
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed out
1 cup frozen corn, thawed and squeezed out a little
1 1/2 cups, divided, shredded cheese
10 grape tomatoes, sliced in half
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or other dried herb)
salt to taste (I usually do about 2 tsp kosher)
pepper to taste (I usually do about 1/2 tsp fresh cracked)
1. In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and let drain on a paper towel. Once cool, crumble or chop into bite sized pieces. Keep the drippings in the pan. For vegetarian option, heat up 3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet.
2. Add the onions to the drippings (or oil), cooking on a low flame and covered, stirring often to get amber colored, caramelized onions. Turn off heat.
3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Press the pie crusts into two pans.
4. Sprinkle the thawed and squeezed out spinach and bacon on the bottoms of the pies.
Followed by the corn and the onions.
Then sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese. Finally arrange the tomato halves on top. Make it look pretty.
5. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper.
6. Pour egg mixture evenly into the two pans. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
7. Bake at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes or until golden brown and the middle is set (i.e. does not jiggle).
8. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then slice and eat!
If you want to freeze the second pie, wait until it is cool, then wrap securely in plastic wrap, and freeze whole. When you want to eat it, remove the plastic wrap and cover with aluminum foil. Put it in a 400 degree F oven from frozen and bake until warm all the way through, about 45 minutes to an hour. Eat and enjoy!

Brooke Mueller -- Money Changes Everything
Brooke Mueller Money Changes Everything
Brooke Mueller loves her kids, but her feelings over custody seem to have a direct correlation to how much money she was getting from Charlie Sheen.
Here's what we know ....
-- Before Brooke lost custody of her kids, she was getting $55,000 a month from Charlie.
-- In May -- after DCFS removed twins Bob and Max from her house and gave them to Denise Richards under a guardianship -- Brooke fought tooth and nail to change the arrangement so that her brother Scott would get the kids. Sources familiar with the situation say Brooke wanted Scott because she'd be less likely to lose her child support if he had them.
-- In June, our sources say Brooke changed her tune with Denise, because there had been no movement to alter child support. We're told Brooke was downright cordial to Denise -- even grateful.
-- Everything changed in July, when Charlie filed legal docs to cut off Brooke's child support. Brooke was fighting Charlie, while Denise watched the kids.
-- In September, the family court judge cut Brooke's child support IN HALF. We're told the judge said Brooke could get the full amount back when she had the kids for a certain number of hours per week. Sources say that's when Brooke declared WAR on Denise, saying she was brainwashing the boys against her and scheming with Charlie to hurt her.
So we gotta ask ...

TLB Prime Premiere!
Dedicated to my friend Jesuvenne - who is fighting cancer.
What better way to start the new year
on the Luminous Blog - TLB Prime Itself
The center stage of the TLB Prime Network
and cornerstone of my luminous projects
(if not just a stepping stone, per say!)
And so, without further ado,
For the first time ever on ANY blog
or website (or even webpage)
that is a part of the vast and
far-reaching TLB PRIME NETWORK -
here is the one, the only,
... Marilou?!?
Well - yes!
First screen above is Marilou's
haunting hit from 2007
"Danser Sur La Lune"
(featuring Merwan Rim -
not Merman Wim...!)
while the second screen above
was supposed to be my very own
songstress cousin - São!
Alas, her creative partner
Larry (not to be confused
with the Vermont gent
who had a brother Darryl
and another brother Darryl...)
Larry, hence, does not want to allow
ANYONE to embed São's videos
onto their own websites!
Still, you may see the videos here.
So much is okay with Larry!
And if those fine music samples aren't enough,
here are some more that I simply find...
well... luminous, of course!
At the very top, you have audio tracks
truly miscellaneous/luminous there...
And below are some select artists...
Elite artists!
Hayley Westenra [Artist]:
'Shenandoah/One Fine Day/E Pari Ra Medley'
Artiste: Hayley Westenra [Artist]
Étiquette: Decca Classics

I'll even throw in Ima!
She whom I identify greatly with São...
IMA : Que sera sera
IMA : Baila
The preceding was my very own
luminous way to say...
HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody!

TAMPA, Fla. (Nov. 21, 2019) – The United Soccer League (USL) announced today that TFA Willamette will join USL League Two for the 2020 season. The prominent Oregon youth club will field its First Team in the country's top pre-professional league, and will play its home matches at South Albany High School.
"We're very excited to see such a well-respected club recognize the value in joining League Two," said Joel Nash, Vice President of USL League Two. "We look forward to helping TFA Willamette provide more opportunities than ever for local soccer players to advance toward professional soccer."
Based in Albany, Oregon, TFA Willamette promotes and enhances high-level youth soccer in Linn, Benton, and Marion counties. With players ranging from the U5 to the U23 age levels, the League Two side will complete the club's youth development pathway. The TFA Willamette U23 team competed against current League Two teams Lane United and Portland Timbers U23 in friendlies prior to the 2019 League Two season.
The club's integrated model uses standardized curriculums, coaching methodologies, and a style of play that emphasizes purposeful possession called, "total fútbol." The consistency in values on and off the field helps players progress in a structured environment from the youth levels to the senior team.
"TFA Willamette prides itself on creating the best possible environment for player development in Oregon's Willamette Valley, and the number of players we have pushed on to the college ranks over the last several years is evidence of that," said TFA Willamette Director of Coaching Logan Hoffman. "League Two is the premier pro development league in North America, and we are excited by the new opportunities being a member of the league provides our players for further growth."
In joining League Two, TFA Willamette will offer a proven pathway to professional soccer for its players, both those at the elite collegiate level and the top academy-age players from the region. On top of the valuable experience of playing in the nation's most competitive pre-professional environment, League Two also provides growth opportunities for its coaches, executives and communities.
Learn more by following @tfawillametteu23 on social media, or visit the club's website tfawillamette.com for the latest updates.

Werder Bremen's Josh Sargent, Newcastle United's DeAndre Yedlin, and Atlanta United's Brad Guzan are among the many U.S. National Team players to have competed in USL League Two before making their professional debuts.

My warranty's long gone and you can literally install NONE of the most important apps for me personally (Adobe Reader, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) so I was wondering if there is anyway in updating the device. I have already jailbroken it and was wondering if I could somehow update it!

leveraged lease
A lease that is entered into so the rental income is secured to cover the cost of servicing a mortgage secured against the property. Thus, the lease involves three parties, the lessor, lessee and the lender. The mortgage loan secured on the property then provides that the lender has an assignment of the lease and the lease payments as additional security for the loan.

I don't usually watch ABC World News Tonight or any of the nightly news shows since I am still at work. However, last nite, serendipitously, I was home AND was watching the show. It turns out, it was Charles Gibson's last show and he was signing off for the last time. I hate good-byes and I hate emotional good-byes even more. But it was so genuine, sincere and touching so I wanted to share.

So much for Ban Ki-moon's heart and possibly even more so his soul! One can only recall the quote in Matthew and the betrayal of Jesus, "When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; see to that yourselves."

Why Kashmir is Important to Me?
Dr. Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai The Kashmir issue is simply this: the people of a large territory which is not part of any existing sovereign state were assured by the entire international community represented by the United States that they would be enabled to decide their future by a free vote. Until now, this assurance has not been honoured. I, as an American of Kashmiri origin, am profoundly grateful to the Administration for upholding the position of principle which the United States has sustained throughout the existence of the contentious issue…Read More
American Muslim Family: Perception, Challenges and Solutions
In this article, I will present a summary description of the 'American Muslim Family Structure', its evaluation, examination and re-examination. Because all indications are that the family structure is weakening, even disintegrating in America and elsewhere. Professor Khurshid Ahmad explains that we are living in a period of cultural crisis. It seems as if the very foundations of contemporary society are being threatened from within and without. The family, as a basic and most sensitive institution of culture, is being undermined by powerful and destructive forces. As Zakaria Basher asserts…Read More
Kashmir and the Right of Self-Determination
The monumental peaceful protests throughout Kashmir, bringing together hundreds of thousands of people from all racial and cultural backgrounds, began as a response to the impotent Indian Government's attempt at confiscating 100 acres of Kashmiri territory for Indian settlements; the recent gruesome unearthing of 4600 mass graves – to which the European Union has passed a unanimous resolution; and desperate Indian dismissal of Kashmiri aspirations for self-determination. The powerful protests resulted in a magnificent revolt forcing Indians to meekly withdraw and rescind their erstwhile theft of Kashmiri land.Read More

Volcker Rule: Comptroller of the Currency Releases Request for Information on the Volcker Rule's Implementation, Application and AdministrationSullivan & Cromwell LLP - August 3, 2017
Yesterday, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued a notice seeking public input (the "Request for Comment") on the final regulations (the "Final Rule") implementing section 13 of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, commonly known as the "Volcker Rule." The Request for Comment is intended to assist the OCC in determining how the Final Rule "should be revised to better accomplish the purposes of the statute," and solicits public comment on potential improvements regarding the ways in which the Final Rule has been applied and administered to date. The Request for Comment follows a report issued in June by the Department of the Treasury that identified a number of concerns with the Final Rule and suggested recommendations for revisions. Acting Comptroller of the Currency Keith Noreika noted that the Request for Comment "is one piece of a larger interagency effort to improve the [Final Rule]" and said he is "look[ing] forward to reviewing the comments and to joining the other regulators soon on a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend the [Final Rule]." Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has also pledged to use his role as Chairman of the Financial Stability Oversight Council to "address the issue of the definition of the Volcker Rule to make sure that banks can provide the necessary liquidity for customer markets." The Request for Comment marks the first time one of the five Agencies responsible for implementing the Volcker Rule has formally initiated a broad review of its implementation and solicited feedback on potential changes to the Final Rule. Comments will be due 45 days after the publication of the Request for Comment in the Federal Register.

Country Fresh Flowers For 2005
Over the last few months, I cannot tell you how many people have asked about how my field-grown summer cut flower business did. A lot of people must read my monthly column and are definitely interested in how my cut flower business is going. I am grateful for all the interest, and so I now feel compelled to let everyone know what the plans are for 2005. I put together an update on how 2004 went in the November 2004 GPN column. Looking back, it appears we are going to dwarf our efforts from last year with what we have planned for this year.
For 2005, my business, Country Fresh Flowers, will be almost tripling production from last year. We are adding another big local farmer's market, which gives us three farmer's markets per week. We will also be doing business with two big local florists, as well as setting up a subscription bouquet service for local businesses and homeowners. I am confident we will have enough markets for all of the flowers we plan to grow. Now, if Mother Nature will just cooperate!
Our first planting is the week of April 18, which will include perennials and sweet peas. Our big planting is right after Mother's Day, and we have smaller plantings scheduled for every three weeks thereafter until July 11. That should give us enough flowers through the beginning of October, until Mother Nature gives us a good frost or freeze.
Besides the increase in the field plantings, we are going to grow Oriental and Asiatic lilies in crates in the greenhouse. We have eight varieties of each type. We are planning 50 bulbs per planting, with five plantings. That works out to 4,000 lilies for the first year. Hope they sell for top price!
We will buy a tube-transplanter to help plant through the black plastic mulch and control weeds between rows. We are also going to get a good hydraulic sprayer we can easily use in the field. As for hired help, my daughter Katie has agreed to work more than she did last year. Although she still would rather put bouquets together than cut in the field, I told her she has no choice but to help cut. I will hire another high school girl (my neighbor) who is the same age as my daughter. And my college girl who did an outstanding job for me last year, before heading off to college, will be returning. I will probably add another one or two part-time ladies to help through the season.
We will be doing more snaps, sunflowers, lisianthus, cosmos, zinnias and celosia than we did last year. In addition, we've included some perennials (some of which are first-year flowering): dahlias, trachelium, calendula and even ornamental peppers (including Pumpkin on a Stick). We even have some flowering kale scheduled for after we get cool weather in the fall. Some of these items might not produce or sell very well, but we will definitely give them a chance. Consumers and florists are always looking for some different items to put into unique bouquets, so we want to be their local source. I want to make sure we produce quality flowers; cut them on time; treat them properly with floral preservatives; and present beautiful bouquets, bunches and single stems to our customers throughout the season.
That's a tall order, but I can't wait to get started! I can't believe it is only about one month before we start planting. I better start getting into good physical shape, as there is a lot of bending and stooping when transplanting and cutting in the field. But, I really love it!
Just to let you knowÉIf you are planning on coming to Ball's Field Day around the end of July, come on out to my field to see what's happening. I will be around every day except Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Those are the days I have farmer's markets. Our field is located at L&M Greenhouses in St. Charles, Ill. From Ball's Field Trials, take Route 38 west, go through Geneva, turn right on Randall Road, go north until you see L&M Greenhouses on the left side. Our cut flowers are behind the AAS demonstration gardens beside the greenhouses. I welcome you to stop by and browse to your heart's content. You might even want to take home a beautiful flower or two!

Zanzibar beach holidays
If you are looking for a great beach holiday, to relax and unwind after a safari on the African mainland, Zanzibar might be the ideal island for you.
Surrounded by powder-white beaches and a barrier reef on the eastern side, Zanzibar holidays are also great for diving and snorkeling. There the long palm-fringed beach stretches beside turquoise waters, creating a classic location for a beach holiday.
While on Zanzibar, don't miss Stone Town. This lively and vibrant quarter, mostly built in the 19th century, has been almost unchanged since then. You can find old palaces, mosques and many old Arab houses here, as well as some great cafés and restaurants.
For more information about a Zanzibar holiday, and how to add one onto an African safari, please contact us.

About Josh
"My son spent 3-4 years learning guitar with Josh and I can say in all honesty, it was an excellent experience. Apart from being a gifted and talented musician, Josh shows a great deal of flexibility and enthusiasm when dealing with his students. Right now, my son has a full agenda with his sporting activities, but as soon as he is ready to resume playing guitar, we'll be taking him right back to lessons with Josh. Thanks for all you do Josh. FIVE STARS!!!!" - Jake I.
"Josh is an amazing instructor. My nine year old has had lessons with him for two years and has learned to play a variety of different music. Josh has a way about encouraging my son and yet challenging him just enough. We love that he has a wide knowledge of classics and hits and finds a great balance between both during lessons. Each year Josh has a student concert so students can perform all they have worked on throughout the year. Josh is very patient, dependable, and fun. He cares for his students and what they learn and likes to see their progress and success. We highly recommend Josh if you are interested in learning from a professional with amazing skill and experience teaching and playing guitar!" - Jan V.
"I've been attending lessons with Josh now for six months. Before I started I had been playing for about two years without a clue. Josh got me to the point that I now have a much better understanding of how music works. I would say without hesitation I have learned more in the last six months with Josh than I did in the two years on my own. As an adult student he is very understanding when I come into a lesson and I have honestly not had a lot of time to practice that week. He is an awesome teacher and he is super personable. I would recommend him for lessons at any age level. Thanks Josh!" - Pat D.
"Our son has been studying guitar with Josh for over 3 years. Josh has done an excellent job motivating, educating and showcasing his student's talent. Josh is very flexible with his level and style of instruction, so if you just want to jam or become a versed musician...your time is well spent with a top shelf instructor like Josh." - Shawn P.
"Josh - Just wanted to say that I've been playing my guitar for our baby girl, and she absolutely loves it (and just figured out how to use a pick to strum, her first chord was D major). Thanks for showing me the ropes way back when, it's paying off in wonderful ways!" - Wilson G.
"Thank you, Josh, for an awesome student concert! You chose the perfect place for all of us to show everybody what we've learned. You're a great teacher. We all had a super time, thanks for all you do!" - Troy T.
"Josh Goering is an excellent teacher of guitar. As one of his senior students, I found him to be patient and able to adapt his teaching to my beginner status. Josh is very talented and gets 5 stars from me." - Ruth S.
"Anyone Can Learn and Feel Comfortable With Josh. I am in my 50's and have always wanted to learn to play the guitar. Due to some unforeseen health issues my memory has started giving me some problems. I still dreamed of some day playing the guitar and looked carefully at quite a few teachers. Josh is really special. He will let you work at what ever pace works best, and with what ever method you are most comfortable with. He listens, has compassion and is an extremely gifted instructor. He has given me encouragement and is very flexible with my situation. I highly recommend him to anyone of any age and any level. He is creative and will bring all his expertise to the tabel to make your experience a great one!" - Karen M.

For a stash of grab-and-dash treats, wrap individual Almond Cereal Bars in plastic wrap and freeze. They'll be ready when you are.
Cherries provide a tart, but sweet bite to each bar and plenty of vitamin C. Pack each bar (only 144 calories) in plastic wrap and freeze for a stash of grab-and-dash treats.
How to Make It
Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the almond butter and honey on high for 30 seconds, then stir until blended. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cereal flakes, O's, and cherries. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until warmed.
Gradually stir the almond butter mixture into the cereal until thoroughly and evenly coated. Press into the prepared pan. Refrigerate until set and firm. Cut into 10 bars.

The Truth about the Homeless
People will sooner aid a sick dog lying on the sidewalk than to try
to find shelter for a sick person. It's too much to deal with.
–Michael Zaslow
The internet is an excellent tool used by millions to find information, share emails, keep in touch with friends, and share funny photos and memes. I am on the internet, it seems, hours upon hours a day. In fact, I am a serial Facebook, LinkedIn, blog-reading fool. Whenever I am sitting at a bar having conversations and discussions about something, it's off to Google to prove my point or get info on the subject. It's just too easy to gather information now, and it is so much faster. This being a political year, it seems that funny photos and sarcastic ones are popping up all over social networks, some funny – some disturbing.
I saw the above picture on Facebook a few days ago and then I saw something similar in LA, live. It broke my heart. The photo was meant to be satirical, yet what I saw on that corner was a reality for a human being that I passed by in my Uber to the airport. He had a sign out with the usual verbiage but here is the story. There was no man standing or photoshopped in, this was life. I thought about the pic when I saw him and thought, why couldn't he find work at a Walmart or a McDonald's? When I got on the plane, that picture still sat in the back of my head as sat down, in 1st class no less, and I wondered what the Walmart guy would really say to this man instead of trying to go viral on the internet with what would be perceived as a funny photo.
Getting Work for People
Being in the actual practice of getting people work for over 19 years, I would like to set up a dose of a little reality for him. Here are some of my G-rated questions for the Walmart guy:
1) Will you hire him if he doesn't pass a background check or has committed a felony?
2) Will you provide him clothes to work in and when those get dirty will you help him get them washed or do you think that first paycheck will pay for an apartment, utilities, appliances, and laundry detergent?
3) Will you immediately pay for any healthcare including mental health care he might need? With medications?
4) Will you keep him as an employee if he has an exacerbation of PTSD, anxiety, schizophrenia, or anything else while at work?
5) Will you have someone watch his only earthly possessions while he is working, so no one steals them?
6) Will you provide childcare or transportation or a bed for a good night's sleep or food to sustain him while he works?
7) Will you even take an application from someone who does not have an address?
Are the answers to my questions are "yes?" If so, I admire your corporation, and I will be more than happy to help drive candidates to your organization. However, we both know that the answer to every one of these queries is "NO!"
Just Get a Freaking Job
The "just get a freaking job" argument is not so easy to quip when you look at the facts. Many of those who are homeless do work or want to work. Many can't. It is truly not a simple fix. Some homeless hold signs – mostly people don't talk to them, they turn away, or tell them to get a job. Judging them helps in no way, at all. I am fully aware there are bogus people out there pulling heart strings on sympathies who hold signs and don't have legitimate needs; I actually don't advocate for giving cash to those "flying signs" unless they are creative.
Years ago, while in San Francisco visiting friends we ran across a black man with a sign that read, "please donate to the United Negro Cheeseburger Fund" we laughed hard, and I said if I give you 5 dollars are you going to go the McDonalds behind you and get some .99 cent cheeseburgers? He smiled and said yes, yes I am. I gave him the 5 dollars, and he ran in to get the cheeseburgers, came out and went around the corner. We followed him to see if he was, indeed, going to eat them. He did not, he gave them away to a woman & two kids, and another man grabbed his sign and went back to his post. I looked at my compadres and without a word we crossed the street and gave him all the cash we could.
The Faces of the Homeless
My point is, "just get a damn job" is not simple thing look what stands in front of those who have fallen and cannot get up. Please take some time to understand some of the most devastating underlying issues these people have is the lack of caring we have for them. Human resources used to be a middle man between employees and owners while helping fill vacant seats. Now, they are mostly buried with compliance, benefits, and just making sure they don't get sued for not taking chances. They are more concerned about the bottom line than most CEOs.
These struggling people have feelings and worth, and they are not all junkies and alcoholics, many are just fighting to survive in a world that looks at them like trash. Some are veterans who fought in wars they did not start. Some are women who ran from abusive marriages, some are those who fell on hard times. Some are teenage throw aways who never even had a shot at life, and the spiraling effect of going down is like falling out of a plane without a working parachute. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the fact there was nothing and no one there willing to catch you.
Paying it Forward
I hope this is where we can start to fit in. We, as a society, need to start actively start getting deeper in the game, we need to be more than order takers and more about effecting change. Stop giving them a dollar to pay for a coffee but get them somewhere they can get help. We need to start championing people we may not have in the past. I am using the homeless as an analogy just as there are other groups that need help, training, and, just some love. Join me in paying it forward, will you? Remember, you are either part of the problem or part of the solution, where do you want to be in history?

Location: No. 60號, Nanning Road, Wanhua District, Taipei City
I am in Taipei on the last leg of my trek through this area of Asia. This is my first time here and I like Taipei very much. The people here are polite and welcoming. It is much like Hong Kong where this modern city has a mix of old buildings with historical values mixed in with new buildings as the old slowly gets washed away. I find everything is cheaper here, but even more so when compared to Japan. The food here, in my opinion, is tastier than Hong Kong. A few nights ago, I had the best ever Chinese Hot Pot and I can't wait to eat it again tonight: God, it was so freaking good that even Hong Kong cannot beat it. But besides eating and sightseeing, a hardcore modeller like me has to get my fix, even on vacation.
Within the "older" area of town, just 20 minutes walk from my hotel at Ximen (西門) MTR Station is the small hobby shop call Ji Xin, located right on Nanning Road and the intersection of Heping West Road Section 3.
It is a small shop, as typical of Ma & Pa shops in Asia, but still able to cram in enough variety of kits for ships, armour, sci-fi, aircraft, tools, and a limited selection of aftermarket resin/PE stuff. It's so small I didn't even bother to take photographs of the inside as I don't have a fisheye lens to do it properly. I saw kits from Kinetics, Academy, Tamiya, Hasegawa, and AFV are available there. Not a large selection but the more recently issued kits are available. That's not the big draw for me in my opinion: the prices are generally lower than what I've seen in Japan – I don't even need to compare to the prices I have to pay in Canada. For example, from memory I recall
Kinetics 1:48 CF-18 Bug Hornet is selling for $1150 TWD ($50 Cdn),
Tamiya 1:48 F-14A selling for $1700 TWD ($72 Cdn) !!!!!. In Japan last week, I saw it selling for ¥7020 ($81 Cdn). In Canada, this kit is around $135 Cdn.
Tamiya 1:48 F-14D selling for $1880 TWD ($81 Cdn) !!!!
This again confirmed what I've been saying all along: When in Asia, do not buy kits in Japan unless you have a hard-on for the kit and must have it, or, you're not going to be in Hong Kong or Taiwan, or, you can't find it anywhere else. Take a trip to Taiwan and go on a crazy shopping binge. Oh yeah, be sure to bring an extra bag or just purchase another luggage for your haul. Then again, air travel is not like it used to be as extra luggage will be charged.

While Congress debates more funding, Olmsted construction presses onJan 23, 2014 05:04 PM
A URS pile-drive crew approaches a dive barge working on the Olmsted Locks and Dam project. In the background is a catamaran barge, which is used to transport precast sill shells.
(page 1 of 2)
On a pleasant morning in August, Jon Leite, a diver with Global Diving & Salvage, entered the Ohio River between Cairo, Ill., and Paducah, Ky., and disappeared into what is arguably the most scrutinized project on America's inland river system.
The word eternity rises to describe the timeline of the Olmsted Locks and Dam project, begun in 1997 to replace the aging and crumbling locks 52 and 53, built in the 1920s. Originally expected to be completed in 2008, new projections put completion in 2020 — or 2024 if you include demolishing the existing locks.
From a viewpoint above the site, the scene below resembles a Hollywood set with monolithic equipment looking like temples to the God, Aqua. The new lock structures look like elongated moats straddled by a castle emboldened with the medieval insignia of the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
Nick Finney, a supervisor with Global Diving & Salvage, demonstrates the pile and sheet interlocking system at the multi-billion-dollar construction site near Paducah, Ky.
Over-budget Hollywood epics pale in comparison to the cost overruns of the Olmsted project. Originally estimated to cost about $775 million, it is now projected to cost $3.1 billion when it is finished. However, weather, river conditions and funding fluctuations — issues that are in part blamed for the delays and cost explosion of the past — are still there for the project to contend with in the future. But the main culprit has been identified as the construction process adopted by the Corps to build the dam.
According to the USACE, the old locks are the highest-tonnage locks in the nation's barge transportation system, rendering the replacement project necessary despite the ever-increasing cost. The deteriorating structures needed constant and expensive maintenance and repair. As a temporary measure during the '60s and '70s, the lock chambers were lengthened from 600 feet to 1,200 feet to accommodate the larger tows that theretofore were required to lock through twice, a process that creates tow backups and drives up the cost of barge transportation.
The locks portion of the project, consisting of two 110-by-1,200-foot lock chambers located along the Illinois shoreline, was completed by the Corps in 2002. Idle, they await the dam, a structure that, when complete, will consist of five Tainter gates and a 1,400-foot navigable pass and wicket dam. A Tainter gate, named for structural engineer Jeremiah Tainter, is a radial arm floodgate. URS, an international engineering and construction company, was contracted in a joint venture with Alberici Constructors to construct the dam.
Stilling Shell 5 is attached to the transport frame and on its cradle.
The dam, at mile marker 964.4, will create an upriver pool extending to the Smithland Lock and Dam at mile marker 918.5. The pool will encompass the confluence of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers with the Ohio River, including the inland river transportation hub of Paducah, Ky., dubbed the towboat capital of the inland river system.
The Corps has weathered a barrage of criticism for the cost and inefficiencies of the project that has siphoned off the lion's share of money for infrastructure construction and repair from the Inland Waterways Trust Fund. The fund's coffer is composed of a 50/50 split between federal general treasury money and a 20-cent-per-gallon tax on fuel burned by the barge and towing industry.
Most of the criticism concerns the Corps' choice of construction methods for the dam portion of the project. Instead of building a conventional cofferdam around the construction site, they chose a process called "in-the-wet," whereby the massive concrete sill components are precast on land and transported on the river to the site and set in place. The Corps could not attract bidders for a traditional fixed-price contract because of the unknowns and the risk that "in-the-wet" construction presented in the deep and fluctuating lower Ohio River. The present joint venture to construct the dam was created in 2002 and is a cost-plus contract.
The unproven methodology was adopted after a Corps study determined that fabricating in-the-wet would be faster and less expensive than building a cofferdam. But in practice, that theory has been turned inside out.
Each Tainter gate consists of a sill shell, stilling basin shell and a lower pier shell. There are 12 additional shells that make up the navigable pass that will take the wickets. The precast shells are 2 feet thick with a waffle pattern on the underside to keep weight down for transport. The shells must be moved carefully to prevent cracking.
"This type of construction, on this scale, has never been done before," said Wade Miller, marine engineering manager for URS.
As each sill is completed, a 45-foot-high lifting frame is attached and a 5,000-ton gantry crane, the largest of its kind in the world, is moved over the frame. The frame is attached utilizing the world's largest strand jacks, lifted, and then set down on a large cradle. The frame, shell and cradle are then moved at one-foot per minute down a skid-way into the water where the world's largest catamaran barge waits.
A tug moves the barge over the lifting frame and locks onto the frame with bolts turned by the world's largest torque wrench. The frame and sill are lifted off the cradle and floated into position over a foundation that is spiked with 140 24-inch pipe foundation piles and 22 master piles. Each pile has to be driven precisely one inch horizontally and a quarter inch vertically to accept the incoming shells. Once the sill is set in place, the void between the underside of the shell and the foundation is filled with tremie concrete, placed utilizing tremie pipes. Tremie concrete is concrete that is placed underwater.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
The session Building Your T-SQL Tool Kit: Window Function Fundamentals by Christina E. Leo (@christinaleo) has been published on channel SQLPASS TV.
Have you pulled a script to identify duplicates from a blog post but couldn't quite get it to work because you weren't sure what that ROW_NUMBER() function was doing? Maybe you heard talk about creating running totals without using subqueries, but you got frustrated when the groups weren't totaling correctly. Or maybe, you've never even heard of window functions. All are good reasons to attend this all-demo session, which demystifies this versatile T-SQL tool. First, we'll break apart the OVER clause, the key to understanding how window functions work. Then we'll expand on each group of functions that can use the OVER clause: ranking, aggregate, and analytic functions. Finally, we'll look at real scenarios where this tool works and talk about performance considerations. When you leave, you'll have the fundamentals you need to fully develop your mastery of window functions.
