It's nearly August which mean we are just a few short weeks away from the NFL and college football season. If you're like me, you can be found in front of a TV on Saturdays and Sundays taking in all the action. But do you know what's better than watching the game inside with some food and beverages? Watching it OUTSIDE with food and beverages. With the right outdoor living design you can invite friends and family over to enjoy the sporting events and movies!
Outdoor entertaining is a topic we discuss frequently with our clients. We are always interested to know what type of entertaining they do so we can create a spaced tailored to that purpose. When it comes to hosting sports and movie parties, there are a few items and design ideas that make it even more enjoyable.
Something to watch the game on. You can't watch the game without a screen of some sort, right? Technology has improved and evolved so much that there are a number of outdoor TVs on the market that work beautifully. When designing your deck, porch, or patio, however, you want to discuss with your designer where'd you like it. With the plan in place, cables can be run appropriately. If you aren't interested in TV, there are also screen and projector options for you to consider!
Space. If you want to host friends and family, you need space for all of them to hang out and enjoy the evening outdoors. Let your porch, patio or deck designer know that you need ample room for everyone to view the screen without obstruction. If you like to have large parties, a 6 ft. × 6 ft. deck just won't do!
A fire feature. The best games are often played in primetime and in the fall (and winter in playoffs) that can result in some cooler temperatures outside. An outdoor fireplace or fire pit is a great way to enjoy all the action outdoors comfortably (and maybe with s'mores!). If you want the area to really feel like a room, placing the TV above the fireplace works wonders!
Food. What's a football game or movie without snacks? While your contractor may not be there to help you at kickoff, we can help you now! Here's an easy recipe for delicious queso for your next party!
When you're ready to have the ultimate viewing space in your backyard, please reach out to your local Archadeck Outdoor Living office.
At Archadeck, we pride ourselves on enhancing the outdoor experience for our clients. We want them to use their outdoor living spaces as much as they can and one trend that we've seen growing and growing over the last few years is the outdoor kitchen.
Outdoor cooking has come a long way in just a few short years. What was once just a grill on the deck or patio is a now a fully functional outdoor preparation and cooking space with grills, sinks, stovetops, refrigerators and more. And they can be custom designed to fit your cooking needs, your outdoor living space, and your budget. Here are three very different outdoor kitchens that fit the needs of the homeowner.
This first homeowner has a multilevel deck in their yard. They wanted to transform the lower area into a full outdoor kitchen and dining area. Instead of creating a dining area with a table, they wanted to have an bar to eat at making conversation easy while the chef was hard at work preparing dinner. This family really enjoys cooking, so they wanted more than just a built in grill, they wanted a sink, a stove and a wood burning pizza oven for their homemade pizza. Under the pizza oven is an area for them to store wood. The large U-shape of the kitchen provides more than enough counter space and room for multiple people to prepare meals.
This next outdoor kitchen is much simpler than the first, but it was perfect for what the homeowners needed. They were looking for a space for a built-in grill, warmer and some counter space, but didn't need room for eating. This L-shape kitchen did just the trick and it complements the finish of the patio that it was added to. The patio is made primarily of a grey concrete with some grey pavers in certain areas. Archadeck used stone with grey undertones to make both spaces work together.
Lastly, this example is in the galley shape and sits on a covered porch. The homeowners wanted a space that would work as an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor bar and a place to watch TV. The galley layout allows us to provide both along with plenty of counter and storage space. By using the space against the wall as the main cooking area (with a sink, grill and refrigerator) the other side can fit the bar need and face a wall mounted TV.
If you are considering an outdoor kitchen for your backyard, please contact your local Archadeck Outdoor Living office. One of our trained designers is sure to design a space that is perfect for you.
In the last few years, we've noticed an increase in the number of projects that are including an outdoor fire feature, whether it is a firepit of fireplace. It's not surprising when you look at the American Society of Landscape Architects' (ASLA) Survey of the top Outdoor Living Features for 2013, firepits and fireplaces is at the top.
According to the ASLA, more U.S. homeowners are enhancing the outdoor areas around their home for added entertainment space. Nancy Somerville, Executive Vice President and CEO of the ASLA explains, "in this uncertain economy, homeowners want to get more enjoyment out of their yards. They want attractive outdoor spaces that are both easy to take care of and sustainable." Source.
As people look to improve their outdoor living spaces, it doesn't surprise us that firepits and fireplaces are at the top of the list of trends. Fire features are a great way to make a space feel more intimate and cozy.
At Archadeck, we see an uptick in interest in firepits and outdoor fireplaces in the fall when the weather begins to cool down. Personally, I love gathering around a fire on a cool fall or winter night with friends and family.
Outdoor fireplaces and firepits are great add-ons to existing structures that will extend the amount of time you can use your decks, patios, sunrooms and other outdoor areas. You may be forced inside as it cools off in September for instance, but with a fire feature, you can enjoy it into November possibly. At Archadeck, we custom design outdoor fireplaces and firepits to fit the spaces they are incorporated in. We'll talk to our clients about how often it will be used, if it should be gas or wood burning and other aspects they may want to include.
2. Grills – Outdoor kitchens are growing in popularity and in most cases the grill is the focal point (you need somewhere to do the cooking, right?). Grills can be as simple or as complex as the client wants. Personally, I just need to know it can cook a mean burger.
3. Seating and Dining Areas – Outdoor living is truly about that, living. A deck or patio without a way to enjoy it is just a structure. The key to making sure that the space is as usable as possible is the design. Talk to your deck builder about how you intend to use the space so the size, shape and flow allow you to have the space you've always wanted.
4. Lighting – Gone are the days of floodlights attached to the side of the house. In are the days of beautiful outdoor lighting that accentuates the space entirely. Lighting will also allow you to spend more time outdoors and will illuminate traffic paths for safety and security.
5. Installed Seating – Installed seating can take the appearance of benches, seat walls, ledges, steps, etc. This plays into the seating and dining areas at number three. It is sometimes easier and better to create seating that is installed in some areas as opposed to pieces of furniture.
If you have questions on outdoor living spaces, please contact your local Archadeck Outdoor Living office.
Whenever we are designing an outdoor living space for a client, we always ask how they intend to use the space. Many of our clients are sure to be using their deck, porch, patio, or other outdoor structure next week to celebrate the Fourth of July. If you are hosting friends and family for the holiday, here are some ideas that may help.
Make sure there is enough seating.
If you want to keep your party outdoors, you need to make sure there is enough seating to accommodate your guests. We often include built-in benches in our deck designs for those clients who entertain a lot. If you don't have built in seating, most home improvement stores have outdoor chairs that aren't too expensive or you can just bring some chairs out from around your kitchen table. As long as you remember to bring them in at the end of the night, you'll be fine.
Think about the traffic flow.
Your outdoor living space may be set up perfectly for its everyday use, but it may need some tweaking to accommodate the flow of traffic for your party. Make sure that your furniture allows for people to move around and go to different part of the space. Consider having the food scattered throughout the space so everyone isn't always hovering in one area.
Make sure it is safe.
If you have an older deck and you know that there is a good chance a lot of people will be on it at the same time, have it checked for safety. The last thing anyone wants in the middle of a Fourth of July celebration is a deck collapse. Call a professional deck builder and ask them to come out for a deck safety inspection. They will be able to tell you what needs immediate attention and what can wait. Trust us, the peace of mind of knowing your friends and family are safe is worth it.
Who doesn't love a little red, white and blue on the Fourth? Here's a yummy and easy Sangria that screams Independence Day. Cut up strawberries and star fruit and place in a pitcher. Add blueberries and a bottle of white wine. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours and enjoy!
If you aren't in the mood for hamburgers and hotdogs but want something quick and delicious, flank steak is a great option. It doesn't take a lot of cooking time and you can't go wrong with this marinade: 1/2c dry red wine, 1/2c soy sauce, 1/4c olive oil, 4 garlic cloves (peeled and crushed), 1/4c parsley (chopped) and ½tsp black pepper (more if you like). Mix it all together and place in a container with the flank steak and refrigerate it overnight (or at least 10 hours). Your guests will love it.
If you or your guests are anything like me, dinner doesn't feel complete without a little something sweet. Entertaining can be tiring, so make dessert simple. Last year, I was served a Fourth of July kebab for dessert that was delicious. Get some kebab skewers and skewer on some marshmallows, strawberries, blueberries, and brownie or devils food pieces. It's yummy and patriotic!
From all of us at Archadeck Outdoor Living, have a happy and safe Independence Day!
The North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) declared May as Deck Safety Month back in 2006. May is the month that many homeowners start to spend extended time outside on their decks as the weather turns nicer. Unfortunately, a lot of homeowners don't have their deck's safety evaluated properly. Just because it is standing, doesn't mean that it is safe!
According to NADRA, there are over 40 million decks in the United States that are over 20 years old. This is a scary idea for deck builders like us at Archadeck. Building and code requirements have changed drastically in the last 20 years. Those decks that were built 20 years ago most likely would not be considered safe or up to code by today's standards.
At Archadeck, we suggest having any deck over 7 years old checked for safety. A professional deck builder can come out to home and check all the components of your existing structure. From there, you should get a list of any issues and how they can be addressed. When we do our deck safety inspections, for example, we often find problems with the deck that can be fixed quickly to extend the life of the structure. There are times, however, that we find that it is best to just replace the deck entirely to ensure that those enjoying it are safe and secure.
Boards – While most wood decking will show cracks over time, the overall condition of the boards need to be considered.
Every Connection – Hardware is key when considering deck safety. Every connection and fastener should be looked at to ensure safety and stability.
Structure – What is the condition of the posts, beams and joists that make up the skeleton of the deck? Is there any visible sagging?
Attachment – It's imperative to check how the deck was attached to the house as that is where most deck failures occur.
Foundation and Footings – This part of the deck supports the weight of the structure and those who enjoy it. Foundations and footings need to be checked for sinking, sagging and separation from beams.
Exits – Are all of the exits from the deck, like stairs and ramps, in good condition?
Rails – Check that all parts of the railing system, posts, pickets and balusters, are sturdy, properly built and the correct height.
Before you host a barbecue with twenty friends, make sure that you have a deck safety inspection, especially if your deck is more than 7 years old. It will give you the peace of mind that you need to truly enjoy the spring and summer months. Call your local Archadeck Outdoor Living office to set up an inspection at your home.
At Archadeck, we love creating custom outdoor kitchen designs that fit our clients' needs, tastes and budgets. The majority of the outdoor kitchens we build include a built-in grill and counter space. Having a space outdoors to prepare and cook your food is great, but a set of simple tools will enhance your outdoor cooking and dining experience even more. Here are some tools and accessories that we find incredibly helpful.
A good grill set. When it comes to cooking outdoors, you need more than just a spatula. At the very least, we recommend a high-quality grill set that includes a spatula, tongs, basting brush and grill fork. There are some sets that have upwards of 10 pieces, but these four pieces will cover the majority of your grilling needs. When choosing your grill set, make sure that they're sturdy (stainless steel is a popular choice) so they last for multiple seasons.
Grill brush. Have you ever looked at a grill that had the burnt crust on the grates? I sure have. That happens when a grill isn't properly cleaned before or after cooking. A grill brush with steel bristles will remove the majority of if not all built up dirt. The grates should be cleaned off after each use to make it easier as you go.
Meat thermometer. This is especially important for those picky eaters. It can sometimes be difficult to determine how well cooked a piece of meat is while grilling. A reliable meat thermometer will ensure your meat is prepared just how you like it.
Grill Basket. When it is grilling season, I like to cook the majority of my meal components right on the grill. That, however, can be difficult without a good grill basket. Baskets for the grill come in a variety of shapes and sizes. I have a simple square one that I use to cook veggies, but there are options for specific purposes as well, like fish and corn. Baskets make sure that whatever you are cooking doesn't fall through the grates and become inedible.
Barbecue Light. Don't let the sun going down stop your grilling fun and keep it going with a grill light. Custom outdoor kitchen designs often include some type of lighting component, but there are plenty of light fixtures that are specifically designed to be around the grill. When looking for one, make sure that they are indeed built to withstand the heat (there are specific barbecue lights, like these, that are made for grilling).
Unbreakable dishes and glasses. For me, it's always easier to use unbreakable dishes when entertaining or eating outdoors. You never know when something may slip and fall and it's more difficult to clean up glass outside than in. Just because you aren't using glass dishes doesn't mean you have to abandon your sense of style, however. There are a ton of great outdoor dishes, like these options from Pottery Barn. Melamine and plastic are both good materials for outdoor dining.
These are just a few of the outdoor cooking accessories that are available, but we at Archadeck are big fans of anything that makes your outdoor living experience more enjoyable. If you have questions regarding outdoor kitchens, contact your local Archadeck office.
Ninety-seven percent of respondents rated fire pits or outdoor fireplaces as in demand. We've discussed the growing popularity in fire features over the last few years. As outdoor living spaces have evolved into true extensions of the home, we see that outdoor fireplaces are being added to include the homey feeling outdoors. Not to mention they allow homeowners to use the space well into the fall. Who doesn't enjoy bundling up by the fire and enjoying s'mores or hot cocoa? I know I do.
Rated just under outdoor fireplaces and fire pits were grills. Grills have been popular additions to outdoor living spaces for years. When it comes to grills, and outdoor kitchens, the possibilities are endless, but they should also be planned for. We've all seen grills that are placed on a deck or patio but don't really seem to have a place. Even if the grill isn't built into the outdoor structure, make sure to tell your patio or deck builder to create a space for the grill. When it has a designated space, it increases the flow and design of the space.
Third and fourth on the list were seating and dining areas and outdoor lighting. This doesn't surprise us at all. For an outdoor living space to be an extension of the home and to be used, it has to have purpose. No one spends time in the empty rooms of their house, why would they outside? When considering adding a deck, porch, patio, sunroom, screened porch or other outdoor structure to your property, make sure you tell the designer how you intend to use the space. You may find that you want separate areas for different purposes: one place to sit and read a book and another to dine with friends and family. And, if you want to use the space after dark, add outdoor lighting. Outdoor lighting can be added to outdoor living spaces at any time in most cases, but will be more seamless if you plan to add it while the project is being built.

This past weekend brought my college reunion. To make sure that we got the most out of having everyone in one place at one time, a friend of mine hosted a barbecue on Saturday. He has a large deck that provides a great place to sit back and relax, but what we learned was it wasn't great for entertaining 15 or so people.
To make sure that our host wasn't doing all the work, all of our friends brought food to snack on or throw on the grill. The problem was there wasn't a convenient place to put it all. There is a small table outdoors that could fit some of the food, but everything else was balanced on the railing of the deck, resulting in some close calls for the burgers.
Whether it's the lawn, bathroom or furniture, the host of this party is constantly updating his house. During the party we talked about his plans for the future and he mentioned that he's interested in adding an outdoor kitchen to make it easier in the spring and summer months when he grills out four or five times a week.
Outdoor Kitchens have become more popular in the last few years as people have looked to upgrade their outdoor living spaces. They provide the perfect place to prepare food for friends and family when the weather is nice and can be as multi-purpose as you'd like. While many outdoor kitchens have some counter space and a grill, refrigerators, sinks and ice makers are becoming more popular for added convenience. If having a place for your friends to sit and chat with you as you cook is important, an eat-in bar can be added as well.
This L-shaped outdoor kitchen includes a built-in grill, burner and seating to provide a lovely place to prepare food for friends and family. It's finished with stone and tile for a clean look.
The brick base of this L-shaped outdoor kitchen complements the brick finish of the home perfectly. It has granite countertops for easy clean up and a built-in grill and warmer.
Who wouldn't enjoy an outdoor kitchen like this? This a classic galley style kitchen. Since it is under a porch providing some protection from the elements, a TV is mounted to the back wall for the viewers pleasure. It has a gas grill, sink and dishwasher so you don't have to carry the platters, dishes and utensils back and forth. Instead, what's meant for outdoor dining can stay outdoors.
Lastly, this is a custom-shaped outdoor kitchen with everything that a chef may need. Not only does it have, a grill, sink, burner and dishwasher, it also has a wood burning pizza kitchen for that perfect pizza. Yum!
With outdoor kitchens like this, I'm not sure I would need an indoor kitchen (just kidding). If you are interested in learning how an outdoor kitchen could be added to your space outside, please contact your local Archadeck location.
This past Tuesday I got together with a bunch of my girlfriends for dinner. It had been a while since we were all in the same place at the same time, and we decided to take advantage. We all went over to my friend Kerri's house where we prepared the food together while nibbling on appetizers and sipping on some cocktails. It was a great time until I realized, there really wasn't a whole lot of room in her dining room for all of us. Just when I was about to say something, Kerri ushered us outside.
Off the back side of their house, Kerri and her husband have small deck that is set up perfectly for outdoor entertaining. It has a large dining table that easily fit 8 chatty ladies and the tree lined fence along the side of the yard provided privacy. It was lovely.
Outdoor rooms, as opposed to just some plastic furniture on a deck, porch or patio, have been gaining popularity in recent years. With all of the furniture and accessories that are now available from both big box stores and specialty store, it is easy to create the same homey feeling you have indoors, out. In the case of Kerri's outdoor dining room, the table was lovely and she had placemats and accessories that were made to stand up to the natural elements. She finished off the space with candles and flowers that made it feel like a true room.
Yes, the July 4th holiday has come and gone once again. As the nation celebrated its birthday, was your outdoor structure worthy of the celebration? Many of us had outdoor get-togethers and cookouts to celebrate the holiday, many of those celebrations were conducted in or on an outdoor structure that is a little worse for wear or is not as functional as you wished it could be.
Don't let another holiday leave you feeling unfulfilled with your outdoor structures appearance or lack of functionality. Archadeck can transform your backyard into a space worthy of celebration with the help of our new design guide. The design guide covers all the major considerations that go into proper planning and design of an outdoor living space. The first of which asks the question of functionality. What do you want your outdoor space to be used for? Whether the answer to that question for you is entertaining, dining or just relaxing the design guide focuses on the form and function that would work best for you.
Since outdoor structures are our specialty our design guide also asks the question of how "outdoorsy" you would like your outdoor space to feel. Many homeowners like the look of the outdoors and the feel of the outdoors but not the insects and the suns harmful rays that sometimes come along with it. One of Archadeck's screened porch or covered porch designs might be a solid choice for this scenario. Our design guide outlines key considerations like this in a step-by-step manner outlined to ultimately bring you to the recommendation of what outdoor space would be perfect for you.
Many of us have a "wish list" that we carry around either in our minds or actually written out of ways to make your outdoor space better, or even creating the outdoor space of your dreams from scratch.The design guide shows you how to create the outdoor space you have been craving with an easy step-by-step process that defines key components focusing on your individual needs. With this design guide Archadeck can help you choose the outdoor structure, or structures that is best suited to you and your family and then goes a step further to set the wheels in motion to meet with one of our talented design consultants for a free consultation based on the areas covered in the design guide.
Archadeck is the leading designer and builder of affordable, functional and innovative outdoor spaces since 1980. Whatever your dream, we can build it. Whatever your need, we can build it. Whatever your want, we can build it. The sky is the limit when it comes to the uniqueness and functionality of our outdoor spaces. Our design guide puts you in the driver's seat.

At least 30 deck collapse-related deaths reported.
More than 75 percent of people on a deck are injured or killed when it collapses.
Decks and patios are a natural spot were many people congregate to either share a meal, enjoy a party, or countless other reasons. A deck collapsing in the middle of a dinner party would be quite a mood killer! So if your deck is in need of a repair or maybe you are looking into purchasing a new one, check out Archadeck.

The Jamestown Experience: John Farrer's "A mapp of Virginia"
John Farrer's "A mapp of Virginia discovered to ye Hills" was originally drawn in hand and included in Farrer's personal copy of Edward William's Virgo Triumphans: or, Virginia richly and truly valued. The engraved version was included in the third edition of that book published in 1651. Farrer was a prominent member of the Royal Company of Virginia and an ardent promoter of the new colony. He even named his daughter after the colony. Farrer's map is significant due to the narrow depiction of North America with a Northwest Passage shown as a river connecting the Hudson River to the "Sea of China and the Indies."

Revisiting Modifiers 25 and 57 - Outsource Management Group, LLC.
If you have a number of medical billing claims getting rejected, once you rule out any larger reasons, you might start looking for the key in the use of; or rather the lack of not using modifiers as a part of your medical billing claims.
Two of the main modifiers that get people in trouble with their medical billing claims in the forms of rejections are modifiers 25 and 57. Modifier 25 reads , "Significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service by the same physician on the same day of the procedure or other service" is kind of a catch all modifier for procedures that may not have an exact coding you can assign.
Previously, modifier 25 was easily confused with modifier 57 and 57 was then updated in 2006 to reflect the following wording, " Decision for Surgery". It's easy to determine if you need to use modifier 57, simply check the notes and determine if there was a decision for surgery – is yes then use 57 as part of your medical billing claim. If there was no such decision made on your medical billing claim, be sure not to use that particular modifier.
Another way to almost completely eliminate errors and omissions in your medical billing claims is to outsource your medical billing claims and let the pros that make it their job keep up with the lightening fast changes in the medical billing industry and leave you with the time to help your practice grow even more successful.

Q: How to add records to an Oracle table with foreign keys? I'm trying to do CRUD operations in my Oracle DB through C# WPF.
I created a DataGrid displaying all the rows in my table, which I was able to connect to my DB. However, when I try to input values in the form on the left side, I get this error: System.InvalidOperationException: オブジェクトの現在の状態に問題があるため、操作は有効ではありません。
Project Code (プロジェクト) and Task Code (分類) belong to a different table and are referenced in my main table.
// Sample of how I fill the Project Code combobox
private void fillProjectComboBox()
        {
            string sql = "SELECT PROJECT_CODE, PROJECT_NAME FROM TASK_PROJECT";
            cmd.Connection = conn;

            try
            {
                cmd = new OracleCommand(sql, conn);
                OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();

                while (dr.Read())
                {
                    string project = dr.GetString(0);
                    regProjectBox.Items.Add(project);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex);
            }

    cmd = new OracleCommand(sql, conn);
    cmd.Parameters.Add("USER_ID", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 20).Value = "test";
    cmd.Parameters.Add("ATTENDED_DATE", OracleDbType.NChar, 10).Value = regDateTextBox.Text;

    cmd.Parameters.Add("TASK_HOURS", OracleDbType.Int16, 3).Value = int.TryParse(regTaskTimeTextBox.Text, out int result);
    cmd.Parameters.Add("TASK_DESCRIPTION", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 50).Value = regTaskDescTextBox.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.Add("PROJECT_CODE", OracleDbType.NChar, 9).Value = regProjectBox.SelectedValue;
    cmd.Parameters.Add("TASK_CODE", OracleDbType.NChar, 9).Value = regTaskBox.SelectedValue;

    try
    {
        int n = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        if (n > 0)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Done!");
            this.viewDataGrid();
            conn.Close();
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex);
    }
}

Is there something I should know about adding records into tables with foreign keys? In a different window, I was able to add new records into my Project Code and Task Code tables, so this is only a problem with my main table.
Edited to include error:

A: First check which table the TIMESUSER.SYS_C007051 constraint refers to.
As you have a field named USER_ID and the constraint is TIMESUSER.SYS_C007051, the problem could be that you don't have a user named test
Or maybe I am totally wrong because I don't remember if TIMESUSER here is a schema name or a table name. Without knowing which relationship is on error it's hard to guess.
EDIT
I can't guess the true origin of the error but I am quite sure it's due to the NCHAR type usage. I don't think it's a good practice to use this datatype as PK/FK furthermore if the data content does not exactly match the field type.
Here how I would do things to avoid this issue (and many others that you might meet later) :
1. In the database, add some ID fields (numeric) to use as PK/FK and some sequences to increase their value (not needed if >= Oracle12c as there is an auto-increment datatype) :
-- Projects
CREATE TABLE TASK_PROJECT (
    ID INT NOT NULL,
    PROJECT_CODE NCHAR(9) NOT NULL,
    PROJECT_NAME NVARCHAR(255),
    CONSTRAINT PK_TASK_PROJECT PRIMARY KEY (ID) CLUSTERED
);
-- Unique index to keep sure that PROJECT_CODE remains unique in the table
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX UX_TASK_PROJECT_CODE  ON TASK_PROJECT(PROJECT_CODE);
-- Sequence to use to increment TASK_PROJECT.ID
CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_TASK_PROJECT (
  START WITH 1
  INCREMENT BY 1
);

-- Tasks
CREATE TABLE TASK_TASK (
    ID INT NOT NULL,
    TASK_CODE NCHAR(9) NOT NULL,
    TASK_NAME NVARCHAR(255),
    CONSTRAINT PK_TASK_TASK PRIMARY KEY (ID) CLUSTERED
);
-- Unique index to keep sure that TASK_CODE remains unique in the table
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX UX_TASK_TASK_CODE  ON TASK_TASK(TASK_CODE);
-- Sequence to use to increment TASK_TASK.ID
CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_TASK_TASK (
  START WITH 1
  INCREMENT BY 1
);

-- Users
CREATE TABLE TASK_USER (
    ID INT NOT NULL,
    USER_LOGIN VARCHAR2(50),
    CONSTRAINT PK_TASK_USER PRIMARY KEY (ID) CLUSTERED
);
-- Unique index to keep sure that USER_LOGIN remains unique in the table
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX UX_TASK_USER_LOGIN ON TASK_USER(USER_LOGIN);
-- Sequence to use to increment TASK_USER.ID
CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_TASK_USER (
  START WITH 1
  INCREMENT BY 1
);

-- Task info
CREATE TABLE TASK_INFO (
    TASK_INFO_ID INT NOT NULL,
    USER_ID INT NOT NULL,
    PROJECT_ID INT NOT NULL,
    TASK_ID INT NOT NULL,
    ATTENDED_DATE NCHAR(10),

Google is pleading a "public interest" defence in a case in which two businessmen are taking action in the High Court in a bid to stop their names being linked to internet media reports about past crimes.
The two men say convictions are more than a decade old and legally "spent".
Both argue that they have a "right to be forgotten" and want Google to stop linking their names to articles on news websites.
A judge has begun to consider evidence relating to the first man.
Mr Justice Warby, who says the men cannot be named in media reports of the litigation, heard that the first man was convicted of "conspiracy to account falsely" in the late 1990s.
He is overseeing a trial at the High Court in London which is expected to last several days.
The second man's case is due to be analysed at a further trial in the near future.
Lawyers representing Google say the cases are to first "right to be forgotten claims" aired in an English court.
Barrister Antony White QC, who is leading Google's legal team, told Mr Justice Warby that Google had "declined to delist" the material.
"The claimants are businessmen who have current business interests which may involve interaction with actual and potential customers and investors and others, and who have posted statements online about their business experience and expertise," he said.
Barrister Hugh Tomlinson QC, who is representing the first businessman, said the information at the centre of the case was "spent" under legislation relating to the rehabilitation of offenders and had become "private".
Tomlinson said the man had not been charged with any subsequent offence.
Yes, it's awful about those 'bathing beeches' – clearly we are not out of the woods yet .. And as for capping up employment tribunals ..
Despite being in the EU an English Court is pronouncing on EU legislation. Hope big bad G loses.
The EU can't be all bad especially when it acts against the UK's passion for dumping raw sewage next to bathing beeches and the killer air pollution the government ignores. And don't forget the refund and abolition of Employment Tribunal fees.

In this lesson I am going to show you how to make money by writing a blog. Now, in the case that you've landed on this post on my website, I'll let you know that this is my fifth lesson on my How To Create A Blog for free guide. The guide contains a lot of details on how to identify a niche, how to come up with ideas of creating content, how to deliver quality content and how to drive traffic to your blog. In the case that you have some free time at your disposal, I would definitely recommend you to take a look :D!
Now, coming back to our business, for some of us getting money from a blog might be the main reason for creating a blog. However, until you've created content, you shouldn't even think about making money from it. Why? Because monetizing your website from the very beginning will take you precious time. You will actually lose money if the first thing you do is to monetize your website. Our main target is to create SEO content until we receive 100 visitors a day. It will be useless for us to come up with 1000th ways of making money if nobody visits our blog, right?
In general you should start looking for ways to monetize your blog once you've created 40-50 targeted posts. 7 ways on how to drive traffic to a blog.
People come to your blog due to the fact that they have a problem. They search on a search engine based on a keyword and they arrive to one of your posts. It can be about anything at all. It only depends on what keywords you choose.
Now, let's say that there are people that search for stuff like: What is the best place to buy the newest Iphone? or less popular, from where to buy a couple Halloween costume?
They search for something and they arrive on your website. What if you could recommend them a product based on their issue and you could earn a commission from them?
See, someone comes and wants to know where to buy the last Iphone. You recommend the cheapest price or the place with the fastest delivery or whatever and just for this you will earn a commission( 1-12% on Amazon) just for taking time and writing a 400-500 words post. As we all know, 1-12% of a $600 product= $6-$72. Just for an individual.
50 customers that buy the Iphone= $300-$3600. Just from a single post that probably would take you 20 minutes to do the research and 20-30 minutes to write it down.
If you want to learn more about Affiliate Marketing(how to become an Amazon Affiliate, the whole Affiliate cycle and other details) click here.
One of the easiest ways to monetize your website and to earn money fast is to use Google AdSense.
Now, there are a lot of people that want to promote their company. By letting them submit their ads on your posts, you will be able to get paid anytime one of your visitors will click on an ad.
You can also earn more money once your blog starts to get traffic. Now the expression "even the walls have ears" ?
Marketers are aware of the blogs and websites within their niche. Once they see that your blog starts to receive a big audience, they will pay you in order to advertise their business. They will pay you big money(>$1000) due to the fact that in this way they will get access to targeted customers.
It all depends on how many visitors you have. That's why you need to focus on creating content and not on monetizing!
There are even things such as ad networks that focus on popular blogs.
This could be a little hard to do in the beginning. Therefore, I would recommend you to do it only after your blog started to generate an income and only after you started to get a decent traffic(at least 5000 visitors a month).
Now, with those ads and affiliate marketing the main idea is that you get only a small share of money. Creating a product it is more challenging, but it is definitely more rewarding.
Imagine if you could make 5% of 5000 monthly visitors to purchase your $20-$30 product.
That would be that you will earn $5,000-$7,500 per month. Imagine if your product is useful and you get a 10% conversion. You'd get $10,000 – $ 15,000/month.
But what can you create in order to sell? Well, most bloggers usually sell t-shirts/songs/pictures/paintings/mugs and so on.
If you want, you can be creative and even create and sell an e-book or an online course.
But in order to get to this level, you first need money in order to invest in product development and to have traffic.
I already mentioned in the last lesson, that among the best ways to gain traffic is to build an email list. Well, your not building that list because you are bored. You build it to use it later.
The first thing you want to do is to create a bond with them. Don't just get 10,000 subscribers and then force your affiliate products down their throats. Start by giving them great information and tips related to the niche.
In this way you will start to create a bound with them and they will start to trust you and see you as a friend. Make sure to not spam them with emails either.
In order for you to earn some money from this, from time to time send them an email alert with a product promotion and add your post link(of a short post about the product promotion which contains the affiliate link as well) within the email.
I've heard people telling that due to the high trust that they formed with their visitors, they have a conversion rate of 15%-20%.
Again, if we would get 1000 people a month from the email list on a post on our website and this time we would advertise for a $40 product with an 8% commission, we would earn $480-$600 for a conversion rate of 15%-20%.
Those are all great ways to earn money from your own blog. However, as I said in the beginning of the lesson, the first thing you need to do in order to assure yourself to win big and not a few dimes, is to focus all your time in creating content. Create hundreds of posts.
Create content until you get to your local news contact you… LOL.
The higher the traffic, the higher the income!
That's all on how to make money by writing a blog. If you have any questions left, make sure to share them with me in the comment section below! Cheers!
⟵What are the 4 factors to succeed?
Blogging is a sure way that publishers can make money. If the author writes interesting content his readers will keep going back to his blog and will even tell others about it.
The blogger must keep his audience in mind so that he can be certain that his work is being appreciated. I agree that a lot of money can be made from blogging.
There is some great information in this post, Thanks. I have been putting a lot into getting this niche site going with affiliate marketing but haven't considered developing products once things really get going. I also liked the information you provided regarding the email lists. Very Helpful! I plan to check out some of your other posts as well. Thanks!
Well, I would suggest you to wait a few more months before moving to develop your own product. It usually takes around 6-12 months for your website to bring you traffic if you are doing your SEO right. I tried to develop my own products and I only discovered that I don't have an e-mail list created to promote the product or that I don't have enough money to invest in advertisement. I decided to postpone this and to focus more in creating content such that I would get 100,000 organic sessions in less than 18 months. 😀 Only after I will earn enough money from Affiliate Marketing, I will outsource my content and focus more on developing my products. 🙂 Wish you best of luck!
Great informative post. I agree with everything. It takes little to make posts but can give you so much profit. What I have learned is to try to put as many key words as possible in the post. Thanks for sharing.
Well, I am sorry but I will have to disagree with you! You don;t need to spam your content with lots of keywords. In general, I tend to use around 1 keyword for each post of mine and just write freely around that keyword. I've been doing this and I tend to get great traffic on some posts. 😀 As a matter of fact, I have a few posts on which people find me on Google under totally different keywords and that it is because I tend to write naturally and I am not focusing on that keyword. Today, actually, I even received 2 visitors from google on a blog post. In my blog posts, I never search for keywords. I just write something up in order to save my publishing frequency. When I've searched for that post on Google by what it could be the main keyword, I actually found it as being ranked as #1 in the search engine.
Remember, that I didn't even look for that keyword within the Keyword tool. I just decided to write a blog post fast and boom I've got on #1 on a totally unplanned keyword :D. How cool is that?


Our June Coffee morning at Crewe was a great morning where we had some lovely visitors.
John-Paul Morris along with Liz Southall and Charlotte from Red Shift Radio came along and presented us with money for HIP in Cheshire they had raised for us.
Thank you so much — raising funds for us is vital to maintain our work with Head people in Cheshire.

Later this month I'll be making my way to Marbella for the wedding of two of my most favourite people - and I couldn't be more excited! Jetting off for a long weekend in the sun with my girlfriends and a bottle or two of rosé is just what I need right now.
But have you considered moving to Marbella permanently? Then you're in good company; a recent report from Panorama showed just how popular Marbella properties remain in 2017. But moving to Spain is a huge change, especially if you're thinking of relocating your family there. Here are five key things you need to know to ensure you're well prepared for a successful family move to the Costa del Sol.
One of the major changes that is noticeable between Spain and the UK is the pace of life. It might seem something simple, but it means that if you want to live as the Spanish do, your whole day will need to be reorganised. Andalusia will likely have a pace of life that is more relaxed and easy-going than you might be used to. Mornings are late and dinners are even later – you'll often find that locals won't eat dinner until gone 9pm or even much later into the night.
The famous siesta is also a part of the way of life here. It's commonplace to have a two-hour lunch break at the hottest part of the day between 2pm and 4pm, before returning to work until around 8pm.
If you're used to the British weather and are looking for somewhere that gets plenty of sunshine, Marbella is probably the perfect place. But it's important to remember that living in the heat all year round is different to taking a holiday in it. Marbella famously gets an average of 320 days of sunshine each year and temperatures through the summer months average 26 degrees Celsius. This can take some getting used to.
Remember, however, in the winter months Marbella and the whole of Spain does cool down significantly just like anywhere else. To add to this, many properties are deliberately built to remain cool in the summer months – this means that they may not retain heat very well when it gets very cold. So don't go throwing away all of your jumpers and woolly socks because they will come in useful.
Some people worry that moving away from the UK means leaving excellent infrastructure behind, but actually the area around Marbella has excellent and modern services. Part of the reason for this is the influx of the tourists that the region sees over its busy season. Marbella has a population of around 120,000, but that number swells to over one million in the summer – this means that infrastructure is equipped to deal with far more people than those who live in the area most of the year.
In terms of schooling, there are two main options. The first is to send your children to a Spanish state school, and the alternative is to pay for them to attend an international school. State schools are free, but international schools have fees comparable to private schools in the UK. The option you choose may depend on your circumstances – young children who have had a little exposure to the Spanish language will usually be able to pick it up very quickly and will be able to learn in Spanish at a state school with minimal disruption.
As children get older, the time it takes for them to integrate generally takes longer, although of course every child is different. At international schools, children can be taught in English, although this may stop them integrating fully into the Spanish community.
This is one aspect of moving to Spain where you may need to worry more about yourself than your kids. It's well known that children pick up languages faster than adults, especially young children. So while you might be concerned that your children will be stuck in a world where they don't understand anything – you shouldn't be concerned. They will develop their language skills more quickly than you might think is possible, especially when they are immersed in the Spanish environment.
For you, on the other hand, this might be something that doesn't come so easily. If you're already a fairly strong Spanish speaker it shouldn't take you long to develop your skills further but if you have limited experience in Spanish, it's definitely worth taking classes and improving rather than assuming that you will be fine just diving straight in.

Saracens - De Kock hails outstanding performance
De Kock hails outstanding performance
After an amazing record comeback at Welford Road on Saturday, scrum half Neil de Kock paid tribute to his team's 'outstanding second-half performance'.
Four second half tries against Leicester Tigers earned the visitors their second bonus point win in as many seasons at Welford Road; this despite trailing 17-3 with just a few minutes left in the first half.
De Kock said: "It was a tale of two halves! In the first half we really struggled to get into the game due to their intensity, and in the second half we decided to throw everything at them and offensively I think we really saw the difference. We were outstanding in the second half, we threw everything at them and we came away with the result."
Flanker Will Fraser also paid tribute to Saracens' team spirit and how they 'pulled together' after a poor first-half showing
He said: "It's something we at the club pride ourselves on, and that is to play for each other. We knew at half time that our performance let them off the hook a little bit so we knew we had not performed anywhere near our potential. To score four tries in one half at Welford Road is almost unheard of, so it's a massive credit to the team on how we pulled together.
"It's a huge result. To come up here and get any form of result is tough, but to come up here and get a bonus point in effectively 40 minutes is right up there."
Hooker Schalk Brits returned to the starting line-up and highlighted how his side's leadership group played a pivotal role in the amazing second half turnaround at Welford Road.
"At half time we just spoke about focusing on the basics and the boys looked pretty amazing in the second half," explained Brits.
"After the break we came off the line a lot quicker, we carried harder and it is the desire that this team has to perform and be successful every weekend, not every other weekend. To come to Welford Road is quite nice, you've always got a big crowd and it's always a tough, physical game, and playing the Tigers you know what to you're going to get. We didn't face up in the first half, but the boys came out firing in the second half. It's great result."

Precision dredging in the Maldives
By [email protected] - 1st May 2019 - 13:01
Compromising 26 atolls and more than 1,000 islands, the Maldives is the lowest lying country in the world. The atolls are separated by channels that are subject to constant change caused by strong currents and an increase in the frequency of violent storms. The channels require recurring dredging to ensure access to ships and to protect the island areas that hide reefs just under its coastal surfaces.
Hydrological maps guided dredging activities in the past but when these became obsolete for the modern precision dredgers, satellite imaging surfaced as a replacement. Data coming from Sentinel 2 can be used as an inexpensive way to gather necessary information, thanks to the open and free data policy of the EU.
German service provider EOMAP uses the data to derive hydrographic and aquatic environmental information, including satellite-derived bathymetry and seafloor mapping. The innovative wide swath (290km) high-resolution (10m) multi-spectral imagery with 13 spectral bands can 'see' down to the sea bottom and enables the measurement of water depth and the mapping of underwater features, including reefs, vegetation and the sea-bed. The biggest advantage of Sentinel 2 data is that new maps can be generated almost every other day, so that a more up-to-date chart can be produced if required. Moreover, satellite data is non-intrusive and may show long-term trends.
Van Oord, a Dutch dredging company, uses these maps to help plan and manage their operations. However, much of the area where Van Oord operates is protected environment. Large areas of coral are often not visible on alternative maps, yet present a hazard to dredging operations as both a danger to Van Oord's ships and a liability if coral is damaged. Better knowledge of the area through satellite data helps Van Oord control its costs and reduce the risk of collision with coral reefs or running aground in the shallows.
Another beneficiary of the service is the Maldives' government, which profits through improved defences and open sea lanes. The environment is also protected better through NGOs watching for destruction or disturbance of sensitive ecological ecosystems.
However, the main beneficiaries are the country's citizens: more effective sea-defences reduce the risk of flooding or damage to their homes and businesses by storms.
Where good hydrological charts exist, operations are easy to plan and execute; where they do not, the use of satellite imagery can be effective in all tropical regions where the sea is clear and the bottom is visible from satellite images.
The protection of coral reefs and sea vegetation is a key objective, given the threat arising from global climate change. For Van Oord, knowledge of their location enables preventative measures. For local governments and environmental organisations, having the same information can provide reassurance that the companies are not taking undue risks and that these valuable ecosystems remain protected.

Next To No One: Anastasia Kvitko Is A Prime Hottie
Anastasia Kvitko, kids… Just be in awe. Oh, and there's an absolutely hot video of hers at the end.
The best part about the Hotness Rater HQ is when you look out the window, you will see mountains… okay, so maybe not. That's just another low rise building from across the street. But there's a printed picture of Anastasia Kvitko taped just beside that/our window. We don't know who put it there (Editor Note: You did.)… But every time I see that I am totally reminded of two things: 1. mountains (in the front) and 2. mountains (from behind). Ha! I love nature!
Rain in the mountains was supposed to be cold…
This one is sizzling hot!
Anastasia Kvitko is a fitness model and an Instagram superstar. Because of her errr mountainous look, she has amassed over 6 million followers in the said social media platform. She is also dubbed as the Russian Kim Kardashian. (Editor Note: but she is way better than that)
Her Journey
Anastasia Kvitko was born on November 25, 1994, in the Kaliningrad Oblast (formerly Königsberg, East Prussia) region in Western Russia. She then moved to the United States in her late teen years. She first moved to Miami, FL to try her luck as a model but she was constantly turned down by agencies because of her 38-24-41 body measurements. Instead of calling it quits, Anastasia here used her curvy figure as her trademark. She is now based in Los Angeles and she has become the face of a swimwear collection for US brand Eliya Cioccolato.
How She Keep Her Curves
While an awful lot have disagreed, Anastasia claims that her figures is completely natural and is the result of a strict diet and exercise regimen. According to her, she only chooses a healthy diet and she always avoids meat and fast food.
"It is not hard to find organic food shops in the USA. And I do not use photoshop. This is what makes me different to many other Instagram celebrities and beauties. I keep posting full-length photos so my fans can see that I look exactly like in my photos." she said.
Anastasia also uses a bizarre-looking plaster (which should be worn for eight hours a day) that helps burn fat. She stated that it works especially well when worn during exercise.
"When I was a child I was into athletics, and now I just try to stay fit and go to the gym four times a week."
On Kim Kardashian
Anastasia doesn't seem too happy about being compared to Kim. And she has been bashed by the reality tv star's followers as modeling herself after Kim… but she answered them all in an interview with a burning statement…
"I like Kim Kardashian but I don't quite like being compared to her – she is far behind me." – Anastasia said.
She then added: "My body is sporty, my hip muscles are trained, my bottom is the most beautiful one, and I have not done any plastic surgeries on my face. And she – everyone knows what she did to her bottom."
Hmmmn, only there's a site who has refuted Anastasia's claim about not being ass-thetically helped by surgeries. The site, wrote: "We doubt the girl's statements that she achieved it only with the help of physical exercises: in the gym, you can only improve the muscles, change the shape of your bottom but you can't dramatically increase its size."
Well, we won't really know the truth, do we? Not until we examine that behind of hers in person. But I doubt she'd let us (Editor Note: Damn right she wouldn't.). But one thing's for sure, though. This mountainous (Editor Note: there you go again with that description.) bombshell here, real or not, is a volcano that's oozing with (the lava of) hotness.
In 2016, Anastasia revealed in an interview that while she was staying in Miami, she was robbed at gun point. That experience, according to her, caused her to have second thoughts about the US and her career.

Q: Reduce order in Bison I am writing a compiler using Bison and I am trying to use the same function with while and repeat loops. I need the parser to reduce "condition" before  "statements_off".   ¿Can I specify the reduction order?
Here is the code for the loops:
loop_stmt:
        WHILE line condition DO ENDL line statements_off DONE
            { $$ = process_while($<elem>3, $<elem>7, $<ival>2, $<ival>6); }
    |   REPEAT ENDL line statements_off UNTIL line condition
            { $$ = process_not($<elem>7);
              $$ = process_while($$, $<elem>4, $<ival>6, $<ival>3);  }
    |   FOR for_condition DO ENDL statements_off DONE
            { $$ = process_for($<elem>5, $<ival>2); }
    ;

condition: '(' expr_bool_or ')' { validate_bool_condition($<elem>2); $$ = $<elem>2; }
    ;

A: Bison reductions are evaluated bottom-up and left-to-right. That is an essential part of the algorithm.
That gives you a tiny bit of latitude -- occassionally you can write a grammar so that bottom-up reductions will have a right-to-left effect -- but you really shouldn't. Semantic analysis works best when you parse into an AST (ideally independent of the order of action evaluation) and then walk the AST as necessary and convenient.
Writing a one-pass compiler by directly linearizing the language into three-address code may seem like a simplification, or an optimisation. But it will end up feeling more like a straight-jacket because of the difficulty of warping a process designed to produce a tree into a linear control flow.
One-pass compilers -- the Lua compiler springs to mind -- often end up having to reorder chunks of generated code, both because of constructs such as this question and in order to implement non-peephole optimizations.
(It's actually pretty common to shuffle the pre-test in while and for statements to the end of the loop, which seems to be the opposite of what is being contemplated here.)

To be clear about the possibilities, consider the difference between:
expressions:
           | expressions expression     { printf("%d\n", $2); }

and
expressions:
           | expression expressions     { printf("%d\n", $1); }

Both of these reduce expression left-to-right, but the bottom-up reduction of expressions causes the second excerpt to print the values of the expressions in reverse order. If expression were not recursive (which it almost certainly is), you could unfactor it into the expressions production, causing the reductions of the expressions themselves to correspond to the bottom-up logic. But this transformation is extremely limited, because it will only work until you hit a recursive production, and almost all interesting productions are recursive. (statement and expression being just two examples.)

UFC 219: Cyborg vs. Holm was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship held on December 30, 2017, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas metropolitan area.

Background
A UFC Women's Featherweight Championship bout between current champion Cris Cyborg (who is also a former Strikeforce Women's Featherweight Champion and Invicta FC Featherweight Champion) and former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm headlined this event.

Former WEC Bantamweight Champion and two time UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz was scheduled to face Jimmie Rivera at the event. However, Cruz was removed from the card on November 8 after breaking his arm. On November 21, John Lineker was secured as a replacement opponent for Rivera. On December 24, Lineker pulled out of the fight due to a tooth infection that required emergency surgery. After a matchup with former WSOF Bantamweight Champion Marlon Moraes failed to materialize, Rivera was pulled from the event.

Gökhan Saki was scheduled to face Khalil Rountree Jr. at the event. However, Saki was removed from the card on November 28 after sustaining a knee injury. Subsequently, promotional newcomer Michał Oleksiejczuk was secured as his replacement.

A welterweight bout between The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians welterweight winner Kamaru Usman and Emil Weber Meek was expected to take place at this event. However, due to an alleged visa issue for Meek, the pairing was delayed and rescheduled to take place three weeks later at UFC 220.

A welterweight bout between Abdul Razak Alhassan and Sabah Homasi was originally scheduled for this event, but later shifted to UFC 220. The pairing met previously at UFC 218, when Alhassan won via a controversial TKO.

Kevin Spacey makes first public appearance, reading Boxer poem next to statue in Roman Museum
Actor Kevin Spacey made his first public appearance since sexual misconduct charges against him were dropped, filming reading poetry at the National Roman Museum Friday.
Spacey, 60, appeared next to a bronze statue of a battered fighter while reciting Italian poet Gabriele Tinti's "The Boxer."
The poem is about a worn-out and lonely boxer, left bleeding at ringside, cast aside despite previous glory.
"They used me for their entertainment, fed on shoddy stuff. Life was over in a moment."
"I shook the country, made the arenas vibrate, tore my opponents to shreds," he continued. "I lit up the darkness, collected insults, compelled applause. Not everyone knew how to do this. None of you. On the other hand life is not frightening for those who have never taken a risk."
Check out the video clip below.
Barbie Latza Nadeau, a correspondent for The Daily Beast who witnessed the performance, described it as "unapologetic."
"But the poetry reading was as much a confession as a moment of acting, it seemed," she wrote. "As his voice rang out in front of no more than 50 surprised museum goers and selected guests, it was clear that while he may have fallen from grace for the alleged sexual assaults he did not feel any apparent remorse."
On Twitter, Tinti denied reports that the poem was written with Spacey in mind. Rather, he said it was part of a project in which he writes poems as tributes to pieces of ancient art.
"What a wonderful night! Everyone was so happy to celebrate art, it was an honor to have Kevin Spacey reading my poems, Rome loves you!," he tweeted.
Prosecutors in Massachusetts last month dropped a case in which Spacey was accused of groping a young man at a bar in 2016.

Denea Joseph, 22, and Joel Sati, 23, of the UndocuBlack Network talk to students, Monday, March 13, at Cal State San Bernardino.
Denea Joseph, 22, was brought from Belize to the United States as a 7-year-old. She is part of UndocuBlack Network, and is working to incorporate black undocumented voices into the immigration narrative.
For many immigrants, being open about their unauthorized status, is not an easy decision to make.
But it was particularly tough for Denea Joseph, especially since her story didn't fall in line with the dominant immigration narrative, which is typically portrayed as a Latino issue.
Joseph is an immigrant from Belize, a nation on the eastern coast of Central America. She came to the United States with her grandmother when she was seven years old.
"As a black person within the undocumented community … it's easy for you to fall through the wayside whether voluntarily or involuntarily," said Joseph, 22, now a senior at UCLA.
For Joseph, being vocal about her identity is crucial at a time when the White House is ramping up efforts to deport unauthorized immigrants with criminal records. She wants to show that not all immigrants are Latino and that her community also fears deportation.
A 2015 Pew Research Center study showed that an estimated 575,000 black immigrants were living in the U.S. without authorization in 2013. Black immigrants come from African and Caribbean nations such as Jamaica, Haiti, Nigeria and Kenya.
Joseph is part of a national effort, known as the UndocuBlack Network, that aims to highlight the black immigrant experience to "blackify" the country's understanding of the undocumented population and make it easier for the black undocumented community to access necessary resources. There are members in Los Angeles.
Members of the UndocuBlack Network are holding discussions about the black immigrant experience across Southern California. They met at Cal State San Bernardino on Monday, March 13.
Joseph said people often are confused to hear that black people can also be undocumented immigrants.
"We have to be aware that there are different identities within the undocumented community," said Maria Barragan, coordinator for the DREAMers Resource and Success Center at Cal State San Bernardino.
"We're not all Latino, Hispanic, or Mexican," she said.
There are about 3 million unauthorized immigrants in California. While most are from Mexico, undocumented black immigrants also have settled here, according to the Migration Policy Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank in Washington, D.C.
About 25,000 are from African countries, and some 2,000 originate from the Caribbean, data from the institute showed.
And they, too, risk deportation.
Unauthorized Mexican immigrants in the U.S. have been advised to prepare for possible deportation. U.S. immigration agents have targeted those with past criminal records or with previous deportation orders.
Joseph stresses that black undocumented immigrants also are vulnerable, especially because of racial profiling.
"No matter what, I may not be criminalized for my undocumented identity, but I'm criminalized by my existence," Joseph said.
Black immigrants make up 5 percent of the unauthorized immigration U.S. population, but they made up 10 percent of all immigrants in removal proceedings between 2003 and 2015, according to a report, recently released by the Black Alliance for Just Immigration and New York University Law School's Immigrant Rights Clinic.
For Joseph, making others become aware of these issues can help the undocumented community combat deportations and eventually achieve some kind of immigration reform.
