Q: How to generate spool file in my local folder I want to generate a spool file with a file name and store it into my local folder whose path I can provide in the code itself. How to do that? Suppose below is the code where I want script to be generated in the separate SQL file
declare
 lv_str varchar2(1000);
begin
for c in(select distinct a.table_name as table_name,
                b.table_name as parent_table_name ,
                a.owner
           from all_constraints a,
                all_constraints b
          where a.r_constraint_name = b.constraint_name
            and a.constraint_type   = 'R'
            and b.constraint_type   = 'P'
            and a.owner             = b.owner   -- if parent and child belongs to the same schema
            and a.owner             = 'SCOTT'
       ) loop
 lv_str :='DROP TABLE ' || c.owner || '.' || c.table_name || '; -- ' || c.parent_table_name;
 dbms_output.put_Line (lv_str );
 end loop;
end;

/
Also, one small help If I want to drop the table names would it require deleting the parent table as well. If yes, how to delete table_name and parent_table_name?(as per the code) at once.

A: If you're doing it from PL/SQL, then you could set serveroutput on and spool into a local file (but also get some garbage, i.e. code itself):
SQL> spool a.sql
SQL>
SQL> begin
  2    for cur_r in (select tname from tab) loop
  3      dbms_output.put_line('desc ' || cur_r.tname);
  4    end loop;
  5  end;
  6  /
desc DEPT
desc EMP
desc EMPLOYEES

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> spool off

Result:
SQL> $type a.sql
SQL>
SQL> begin
  2    for cur_r in (select tname from tab) loop
  3      dbms_output.put_line('desc ' || cur_r.tname);
  4    end loop;
  5  end;
  6  /
desc DEPT
desc EMP
desc EMPLOYEES

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> spool off

SQL>

Alternatively, use UTL_FILE package, but it creates a file in a directory on a database server (as you have to use Oracle directory object which usually points there). But then you'd get a nice file.

A: See the 'cd' command, avail in SQL Developer and it's CLI counterpart, SQLcl. SQLcl is like SQLPlus, but better.
This will also work in SQL Developer, just execute via F5.
SQL> cd c:\users\jdsmith\desktop
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> spool so4.txt
SQL> declare
  2   lv_str varchar2(1000);
  3  begin
  4  for c in(select distinct a.table_name as table_name,
  5                  b.table_name as parent_table_name ,
  6                  a.owner
  7             from all_constraints a,
  8                  all_constraints b
  9            where a.r_constraint_name = b.constraint_name
 10              and a.constraint_type   = 'R'
 11              and b.constraint_type   = 'P'
 12              and a.owner             = b.owner   -- if parent and child belongs to the same schema
 13              and a.owner             = 'HR'
 14         ) loop
 15   lv_str :='DROP TABLE ' || c.owner || '.' || c.table_name || '; -- ' || c.parent_table_name;
 16   dbms_output.put_Line (lv_str );
 17   end loop;
 18  end;

Growing out of an award-winning piece that veteran journalist Chris Wood wrote for The Walrus, Dry Spring exhaustively reports from dozens of sites in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico that have experienced firsthand the effects of climate change and the water-related havoc it wreaks on human societies large and small. What becomes clear is that, as far as weather patterns are concerned, "freak" storms and "anomalies" are fast becoming the norm. Seasons are increasingly unpredictable. Dry places are becoming dryer, wet places wetter. The crisis, for all intents and purposes, has arrived.
It is not just change, argues Wood, but the pace and scale of change that are "unlike anything nature has experienced in the last 100 million years." From India to New Orleans and just about everywhere in between, water is coming in different forms at different times. There may not be any change, for example, in overall rainfall, but there may be more hot, dry days, and a few days on which cities and crops are deluged.
Wood sees the next 25 years as a time when profound changes – most of them bad – will occur, but also as a time for humans to take stock and make clear-eyed decisions about how to make water work harder for us, while working in harmony with nature's own internal systems.
Wood is neither tree-hugging ideologue nor free-market evangelist, and his reportage is voluminous and plainspoken – by his own admission, he's a reporter first and writer second – focusing on the individuals and places affected, but also on the science. Despite its alarmist title, Dry Spring also takes the stuffing out of wild-eyed Canadian "aqua-nationalists," who reflexively scream that the sky is falling at the mere mention of selling some of our vast stores of fresh water to the U.S.
What Wood does well is connect some of the scientific and environmental dots that we may otherwise see as isolated news stories about floods or storms or droughts or crop failures or forest fires. They may seem like random events now, but they won't after you've read this book.

We value the ideas, contributions, and potential of young people.

We welcome, understand, and encourage diversity among our staff, clients, and colleagues.
We promote excellence among our staff, volunteers, and interns, and honor their contributions.
We are passionate about working with young people and their families.
Since 1970, The Bridge for Youth has played a critical role as our community's 24-hour access point for youth and families in need, directly accessible without waiting lists, fees or red tape.
Each year the demands grow, with increasingly complex cases in our emergency shelter and increased need for transitional and permanent housing. With a dedicated staff and strong support from the community, we help hundreds of youth each year get off the street and into safe shelter, reunite with families and build skills for a better life.
The Bridge for Youth offers the full continuum of services needed to help youth and their families.

"Three hundred and twenty years have passed since the coven sank in the dark." Witches...to this day they roam the world, though none may know it, not even those whose blood still carries the potential. Most of those with the "Witch Gene" are latent, but every so often, there is one who awakens to his or her powers.
When that happens, an organization called Solomon (more commonly known by the letters STN, which stand for "Solomon Toukatsu Nin'idantai"- roughly translated to "Solomon Control Center") steps in to bring the powers of this witch back under control before the population is threatened.
Witch Hunter Robin is the story of Solomon's Japanese bureau, STN-J. They carry the front line of the fight against witches as changes in Japanese society has caused an alarming rise in the number of witch awakenings, and the recent loss of one of their number has them shaken. Into the STN-J enters a new Witch Hunter named Robin Sena. Robin is a witch herself, a Craft-User gifted with the well-honed ability to create fire.
With witches awakening in ever-increasing numbers, STN-J will need to rely on every member and every advantage it can exploit to prevent the witches from growing beyond their control.

7 Top-Rated Things to Do & Places to See in Hartford, CT (2023)
The state of Connecticut is home to many beautiful cities. The capital of Connecticut is Hartford, a beautiful town worth visiting. This town was home to two American literary giants, Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Hartford is home to beautiful parks, numerous unique museums, attractions, performing arts venues, and many famous restaurants. From visiting the Connecticut State Capitol to the Wadsworth Atheneum, which is one of the oldest art museums in the country, and the beautiful Rose Garden at Elizabeth Park, there is a lot to do in Hartford.
7 Top-Rated Things to Do & Places to See in Hartford, CT
Here are some of the top-rated things to do and places to see in Hartford:
1. Connecticut State Capitol in Hartford
Let's begin the journey to Hartford from, the most beautiful place in the city. Hartford is the third biggest city in Connecticut, just behind Bridgeport and New Haven. The most iconic and majestic building in the city is the Connecticut State Capitol, which is magnificently topped by a gold-leaf dome. Inside the building are more beautiful places to photograph, including the impressive Hall of Flags, and if you are lucky, you may even catch sight of multiple politicians making their way in and out when the building is in session.
2. Downtown Hartford
The city of Hartford is stunning no matter where you visit. Downtown Hartford is regarded as being a famous arts and entertainment center. Being home to plenty of eclectic restaurants that add to any foodie itinerary, this city is definitely worth visiting, especially if you want to capture some gorgeous pictures of evening fun. There are extensive photography subjects in this city.
While in downtown Hartford, don't miss the famous home of Mark Twain. Also, make a stop at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art and the place where Harriet Beecher Stowe rested her head. The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art was founded in 1842 and is today the oldest continuously operating public art museum in the US.
3. The Mark Twain House & Museum
Samuel (Mark Twain) and Olivia Clemens made Hartford their new home in 1873. The house is part of history today, and you will find every latest convenience inside the house. Four designers designed this three-story Victorian mansion, and during the tour, you will get to hear many engaging stories that give you an insight into the lives of these famous authors. This is the house where Twain wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and several others of his famous works. This Victorian Gothic mansion is today marked as a National Historic Landmark.
4. Wadsworth Atheneum
The Wadsworth Atheneum houses the finest art collection in America, especially the works of the Hudson River school. It is the oldest free public museum in the US, home to over 50,000 works of art. The impressive Gothic-style building is one of the most photographed structures in Hartford.
Some of the major highlights of the collections housed in the Wadsworth Atheneum include Italian baroque painting, along with the major works of Caravaggio and many other Surrealist artists. The works of Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Claude Monet, and many other famous artists are housed here. Decorative arts are another major focus area here, and there are around 7000 objects included in the European Decorative Arts collection. Ancient glass and bronze items, as well as an outstanding ceramics collection, are all kept here.
The Connecticut Science Center is a major attraction in Hartford. There are 168 exhibits to be enjoyed in this hands-on science museum. Each section of the museum explores some feature of the world around us. There are many kid-friendly DIY activities to be indulged in at the center. For example, at the exhibit Forces in Motion, kids get to make and test flying devices, while at Invention Dimension, kids can race robots and invent new items with Legos.
There is also an interactive exhibit on our Planet Earth, where children can first-hand experience hurricane-force winds and take part in coming up with their own weather forecast. Some of the other incredible exhibits at the Connecticut Science Center include Sight and Sound, Exploring Space, Energy City, Picture of Health, and River of Life, where there is a marine touch tank that explores the Connecticut River and its marine creatures.
6. Elizabeth Park Rose Garden
The Elizabeth Park Rose Garden is the first municipal rose garden in the US, as well as the third-largest rose garden in the country. The garden was named after Elizabeth Pond and is sprawled over 102 acres of land that was donated to the city of Hartford by her husband, Charles H. Pond, in 1903. Today, the garden is home to over 15,000 plants, and there are over 800 varieties of roses.
These plants include both old and new varieties of hybrid tea, hybrid perpetual, climbers, shrub, floribunda, and pillar roses. These beautiful roses are in bloom all through the summer, but the best time to visit this stunning garden is in late June and early July, when these flowers cover the arches and are in full bloom. In the winter months, the park opens up for ice skating.
7. Bushnell Park & Carousel
Spread out over 37 acres and sitting right next to the Capitol grounds, the Bushnell Park & Carousel is the first public park in the country. The park is home to a Civil War Museum, the Pump House Gallery, the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch, and the Israel Putnam Statue.
The 1914 Stein and Goldstein Carousel is a famous landmark of Hartford, having 48 hand-carved wooden horses and two chariots that circle a Wurlitzer band organ. This carousel is even more special as it is one of the only three remaining Stein and Goldstein Carousels in existence. This park is one of the most popular places for families to visit in the city.
There are several tours of the park that open up on the second Saturday of the month, from May to October. If you want to see the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch, tours open from May to October, on Thursdays at noon.

Extending Moore's law beyond the 10nm node will increasingly rely on high precision processes employing new materials with high-quality surfaces. Atomic layer etching & atomic layer clean technology is a promising pathway to achieve these fundamental requirements.
The Atomic Layer Etching Workshop offers a one-day focus on the science and technology of atomic layer etching of thin films. The ALE Workshop runs in parallel with the first day of the 16th International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD 2016). Both are preceded by a one day tutorial session to provide the scientific principles of this burgeoning field. It will be held in the Convention Centre, Dublin, Ireland, on 24-25 July 2016.
Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) is used to remove ultrathin layers of material in semiconductor and thin-film device applications. Both isotropic and highly-anisotropic etching can be achieved. In common with ALD, ALE operates on a multi-step, self-limiting surface reactions which enable the repetitive removal of material in the range of 1-monolayer per cycle.
ALE is finding application in corner selectivity of self-aligned-contacts, damage mitigation of source/drain contact etching steps, etching of non-volatile metals in MRAM structures, and profile control in VRAM devices and has been proposed for gate-size tailoring in future all-around-gate transistor designs. It is of interest for any advanced technology that requires control of film structure in the nanometer or sub-nanometer scale.
Following last year's ALE Workshop with 280 participants this year's event will run in parallel with the ALD Conference to facilitate cross-over science and engineering of atomic layer control for thin-film engineering.
You can register for ALD2016 (one day or three days, 25-27 July) and the Atomic Layer Etch workshop (one day, 25 July), as well as for the joint ALD/ALE tutorial (half-day, 24 July). As part of the registration process and for tracking purposes, we ask that you indicate your primary interest in Atomic Layer Deposition or Atomic Layer Etching.
Packages are available for sponsorship of the Atomic Layer Etch workshop. Please download the prospectus for information.
Abstract submission for ALE closed on Friday 18th March and authors will be notified by Monday 2nd May.

Thursday's major league notebook: A first as Martinez wins two Silver Slugger Awards
J.D. Martinez of the Red Sox wins one as a designated hitter and one as an outfielder.
News service report
J.D. Martinez of the Boston Red Sox became the first player to win two Silver Slugger Awards in the same season on Thursday.
Martinez, who batted .330 with 43 home runs and 130 RBI, was voted the winner at designated hitter and the outfield in the American League. Martinez had 569 official at-bats, 219 as an outfielder and 350 as designated hitter.
Other players have received votes at multiple positions in past years, but this is the first time a player has won two in the same season.
Outfielder Mookie Betts captured his second AL Silver Slugger Award. Betts won the AL batting title with a .346 average, adding 47 doubles, five triples, 32 homers, 129 runs, 80 RBI and 30 stolen bases.
BILL JAMES, the father of Sabermetrics, a renowned baseball historian and a Red Sox senior advisor – let loose some provocative baseball opinions on Twitter.
What began as a debate about the value of player salaries escalated when James, in one particular blunt take, said: "If the players all retired tomorrow, we would replace them, the game would go on; in three years it would make no difference whatsoever. The players are NOT the game, any more than the beer vendors are."
That particular tweet (since deleted) has since drawn rebukes from MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark as well as from several players.
MARINERS-RAYS: Speedy outfielder and leadoff hitter Mallex Smith was acquired by the Seattle Mariners from the Tampa Bay Rays for catcher Mike Zunino and outfielder Guillermo Heredia as part of a five-player deal.
YANKEES: Catcher Gary Sanchez had surgery on his left shoulder Thursday, which could slow him during spring training but is not likely to keep him out of the lineup on Opening Day.
PIRATES: Third baseman Jung Ho Kang and the Pirates agreed to a $3 million, one-year contract.
GM MEETINGS: A person familiar with the agenda tells The Associated Press that baseball owners plan to vote on a new term for Commissioner Rob Manfred and a new television contract with Fox.
• Major League Baseball and its players' union likely will not decide until the eve of spring training whether to change rules in an effort to increase action on the field next year.
Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem said as the meetings ended that there was no consensus for change yet. More discussions will take place when owners gather next week in Atlanta, the union's executive board convenes in late November and major league executives go to Las Vegas for the winter meetings in mid-December.
Topics being discussed include the increased use of defensive shifts, the decrease in innings thrown by starting pitchers and technology that aids sign stealing. A possible 20-second pitch clock and alterations to rules for waivers, trade deadlines and disabled lists also are being discussed.

Why bother lining a hat? After all, any knitted hat is probably plenty warm, right?
Jesse requested a new winter beanie, one which was really warm, please.
I thought I'd make him a colourwork hat, as the yarn which floats behind the pattern effectively adds another layer of warmth. (Looking for hat patterns? Here's a roundup of cabled hat patterns.) Plus, I used a merino-cashmere from Knitting for Olive. The sock-weight yarn promised to be light as well as warm.
The pattern is Fragmentation. Nice, no? I choose half a dozen patterns I'd be happy to make and let Jesse pick his favourite.
A double layer of merino-cashmere? Buddy, this was going to be plenty warm!
Except, he was right. It was a little chilly. Perhaps my gauge was off, perhaps he was comparing it to the tighter-knit worsted hat I was replacing but the wind whipped through the stitches.
A quick fix for cold heads is lining a hat.
It's simple too. I choose some yarn out of my stash, and picked up stitches all the way around inside the brim. Then I knit a hat. Yup, it's two hats in one.
I ran out of yarn at the crown, so switched to another in a similar weight.
Ugly as sin – I didn't bother with neat crown decreases as you can well see, but nice and cozy.
These two hats aren't connected anywhere except at the brim. But they look – and act – like one.
So there you have it – lining a hat transformed a never-would've-been-worn hat into his favourite winter beanie!

Jonah Hill Reflects On Feature Directorial Debut, "Mid90s"
This image released by A24 shows writer-director Jonah Hill, right, with cast members Lucas Hedges, left, and Sunny Suljic during the filming of "Mid90s." (Tobin Yelland/A24 via AP)

Lindsey Bahr, Film Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP)
Jonah Hill has always wanted to direct. He worships filmmakers and has treated what he describes as an "accidental" but "wonderful" 15-year acting career as a partial film school, learning from people like Bennett Miller, who directed him in "Moneyball" and Martin Scorsese on "The Wolf of Wall Street." But Hill didn't just want to make any film, he wanted to have something to say, and the confidence and "emotional maturity" required to lead people
He settled on a coming-of-age story, which he laughs is a "tried and true" formula for a first film. It's about a 13-year-old boy, Stevie (Sunny Suljic), growing up in Los Angeles with a single mother (Katherine Waterston), an abusive older brother (Lucas Hedges) who finds solace (and quite a bit of trouble) with bunch of local skateboarders (newcomers Na-kel Smith, Olan Prenatt, Ryder McLaughli and Gio Galicia).
It took Hill three years to write "Mid90s" which is now playing in limited release before it expands nationwide. For the shoot, he and his crew painstakingly recreated the mid-90s Los Angeles he remembers, from the music, to the clothes, the talk and even the trash. "A Doritos bag has a wildly different shape and aesthetic now than it did in 1995," Hill says.
Hill spoke about the film and what he was trying to say. Remarks have been edited for clarity and brevity.
Q: What was the genesis of this idea?
HILL: Well, I grew up skateboarding in the mid-90s in Los Angeles. It is in no way a biopic or an autobiography, but I knew skateboarding would play in some way into my first film because although I was terrible at it, it was something that came into my life when I really needed it and really gave me a lens that I saw most things through, even when I went into comedy or film, it's subversive, it's anti, it's punk, its sense of humor, taste in music, attitude toward authority (laughs). And to me skateboarding is always butchered in film. It's always done stereotypically, made by people who weren't from the culture a lot of the time.
Q: How did you settle on Sunny for the lead?
HILL: He had the exact quality I was looking for which was someone who was very young for their age but who was 10-feet-tall inside. He was the first kid we read and after he did this scene (of yelling at his mom in the car), everyone was like, oh this isn't just a good child actor, this is a great actor of any age or gender. He was 11 when we shot. I'm 34 and have been acting for 15 years and have never had to strap a movie on my back and walk across the field with it and he did it at 11. He's a freak of nature. He's remarkable.
Q: I feel like I certainly learned something about how teenage boys are together from this film.
HILL: These kids speak in a way I don't agree with, they treat women in a way I don't agree with. But they also are very much there for one another. There's good and bad to people. It's not black and white. And things like homophobia and toxic masculinity and treatment of women, even though I don't agree with these things, they were things I noticed growing up that I wanted to show as unflinchingly as possible so people could decide for themselves where they fall on that line. To me, it's really ugly and it's really hard to watch a lot of it. That's by design. And I think it's interesting to watch it with a crowd of people. You do see people laughing at moments I never would have expected or flinching at moments and it's important to see the truth even if it sucks. And there's s the example of Steve's first sexual experience. I wanted to show how terrified he was and the only moment that becomes enjoyable to him is when he realizes it's currency to rise up in the animal kingdom of his friends...those were lessons I saw growing up that we clearly as a society are having to unlearn.
Q: So this is a commentary on masculinity?
HILL: Yes. I'm someone who is highly sensitive and emotional and has come a long way in my life in a sense of learning who I am and a sense of being able to communicate my feelings thoughtfully and openly. And part of the humor, part of the harshness, part of the ugliness, part of the joy is watching these people who cannot communicate with one another. And ultimately they teach each other lots of bad lessons and lots of good lessons. And bad and good is not up to me, it's up to the individual watching. I have my own feelings, but I don't like moralist filmmakers. I don't want to be one. I don't want to be shoving my views down everyone's throats. "Wolf of Wall Street" is a great example where people thought (Scorsese) was celebrating our characters. I can speak for myself, I thought those people were terrible, but you know, (Scorses's) like, it's not my job to do that.
Q: Why did you focus in on a lower-class setting?
HILL: Skateboarding for myself, personally, it broke me out of a socio-economic bubble that I would have stayed in my whole life. And skateboarding, like a lot of things, unifies people, it's common ground.

Smoking birds by Moena Weiss is a collection of portraits which depict an individual's transformation process. The uniqueness of the individual in this process is displayed through the progression of the photos in the series. Moena conveys the inherent beauty in the diverse human experience. She wants the subjects of her portraits to see what she sees through the lens of her camera when looking at their image. The artist is fascinated by the different facets of humanity and how photography can capture a person's way of existing, moving, feeling. To share this process while taking pictures is one of the most beautiful things for her, because in the end we all want to be seen by others as we are.

Paris Jackson (born July 24, 1980) is a former professional Canadian football slotback who last played for the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League. He was originally drafted sixth overall by the BC Lions in the 2003 CFL Draft and signed with the team on August 30, 2003. He played college football for the Utah Utes from 2001 to 2002.

High school years
Jackson was team captain at Carson Graham Secondary School in North Vancouver. In his senior year, he set the school's single-game record for most rushing yards and touchdowns, and accumulated 2,138 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns.

College career
Jackson attended Butte College in California in 2000, where he was an All-Conference player, recording 35 receptions for 899 yards and 8 touchdowns. He then transferred to the University of Utah, where he majored in sociology. In 2002, he caught 43 passes in 11 games, finishing second on the team in receiving with 553 yards, and third in scoring with 6 touchdowns. He received an honourable mention for Conference All-Star.

Professional career

BC Lions
Jackson was selected in the first round, 6th overall in the 2003 CFL Draft by his hometown team, the BC Lions. He signed with the Lions midway through the 2003 season. As a backup wide receiver in 2003 and 2004, he caught 16 passes for 223 yards, and played in the 2004 Grey Cup against the Toronto Argonauts.

Jackson saw more playing time in 2005, finishing with 48 catches for 617 yards and 4 touchdowns, including a team-high 6 receptions in the West Division Final. In 2006, he was second on the team with 51 catches for 634 yards and 4 touchdowns. Jackson caught 2 touchdown passes in the West Division Final, and had 5 receptions for 65 yards in the Lions' 2006 Grey Cup victory over the Montreal Alouettes.

In 2007, he posted career bests in every receiving category. He has been noted as an exciting receiver for the Lions with a penchant for making acrobatic catches.

Jackson recorded his best season of his career in 2008 when he caught 76 passes for 1,180 yards and eight touchdowns; all career highs. In recognition of his strong season, he was named a CFL West All-Star and was the BC Lions' nominee for the Most Outstanding Canadian Award

For the 2009 BC Lions season, Jackson took over the slotback role left by the departure of Jason Clermont and recorded his second straight 1000-yard season.

In 2010, Jackson saw his receiving numbers decrease as his production was hampered by injuries and inconsistent quarterback play. He had a 111 consecutive games-played streak end this season as he missed his first CFL game of his career during BC's game against Edmonton on October 9, 2009. He only managed to score one touchdown this season, which was his least since 2004 when he didn't score any.

For the next three seasons, Jackson was relegated to a backup role, catching no more than 10 passes for 2011, 2012 and 2013 seasons. He did, however, have two receptions in the Lions' 99th Grey Cup victory, which was his second Grey Cup championship. On February 22, Jackson was released by the Lions, after his 11th season with the club.

Ottawa Redblacks
On March 7, 2014, Jackson signed with the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League.

Edmonton Eskimos
Jackson was signed by the Edmonton Eskimos on September 29, 2014.

Statistics

Personal
Jackson wears a cross necklace that contains his deceased mother's ashes. Before each game, he dresses in his equipment and kisses the cross before removing it and placing it in his locker. On May 8, 2010, Jackson married his longtime girlfriend, hairdresser Suzy Phi, at the Brock House in Vancouver, BC. Together they have one daughter, born in September 2008, and one son born in 2011.

STRUCTURE GUIDELINES
The title should summarise the main idea or ideas of the manuscript.
The title must contain at least 10 words.
Clearly indicate a brief background of the problem and the study's research gap in 1-2 sentences, the researcher's objective(s), the data sample and methods, the results, and the main conclusions. It is highly recommended for the abstracts to indicate the research gaps and novelty of the manuscript.
The abstract must be 180-250 words; do not be a copy+paste from a passage in the manuscript text.
Write in British English.
There should not be any in-text citation, except if the research uses a certain previous study or theory as a primary reference.
5 keywords (which do not merely repeat words from the title).
Start with a general statement that covers "the whole of your research" which can clearly identify the problem/phenomenon and why your study is necessary.
State the research gaps, your research objectives, and the novelty that your research offers or its implications.
Include a review of the relevant and recent literature that gives context to the manuscript's position within the current research field.
When you use direct quotes from a cited study, indicate the page. Example: "…" (Author, 2020, p. 27).
The literature reviewed may include old studies, but must primarily contain current studies that are relevant to your research.
The literature review should evaluate the contents of the cited literature and draw its relevance to the author's research, rather than simply retelling or summarizing previous studies' findings.
Do not overuse direct quotes, definitions, points, examples - focus on relevant studies' findings.
Provide sufficient detail so that editors, reviewers, and future researchers can understand and replicate the study.
Specifically states the data sample, collection method and data analysis.
Describe the results. If appropriate, present the results as a chart/table/figure which must be described in a paragraph(s) below them.
Excerpts should have codes (which is up to the authors). If you are unsure of how, please read this basic guide to coding qualitative data to familiarise yourself with the concept.
Reiterate the most significant results, but do not repeat what has been written in the Results section.
Interpret and describe the significance of and possible/definite reasons behind these results in light of what was already known about the problem/topic (which must include a review of the relevant literature).
Explain any new understanding, insights or contributions that emerged as a result of the study. Authors must highlight the novelty of the research.
This is the "take-home message" of the manuscript, so it must consisely answer the research question(s). It should help the reader understand why this research should matter to them after they have finished reading the paper.
It is not a simple summary of the paper, but a synthesis of the key points.
Must include the most significant parts of the Results and Discussion.
Recommendations for future research related to your topic should be mentioned.
Cannot be written in bullet points; it can only be written as 1-2 paragraphs.
No citations in the conclusion paragraph(s).
Acknowledgment (Optional)
Give credit to funding bodies and departments that have been of help during the project, for instance by supporting it financially or allowing the research to take place.
Uses the APA 7th edition (see the APA guide).
Authors are recommended to attach doi links of the cited studies. The links are formatted the same as URLs because the label "DOI:" is no longer necessary.
Contain at least 25 current studies.

Rebel rockets kill 19 in Aleppo, hit hospital: monitor
May 3, 2016 Middle East, WorldAbdul Ghafoor
03 May, 2016 6:14 pm
ALEPPO – Rebels bombarded government-held areas of Aleppo with rockets on Tuesday, killing 19 people and hitting a hospital, while also launching a ground assault on army-held positions of the divided city, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Syrian army said insurgents had launched a broad-based assault and that it was responding. State-run Syrian news channel Ikhbariya said three women had been killed and 17 more people wounded at the al-Dabit maternity clinic.
The army statement said the attack was at "a time when international and local efforts are being made to shore up the (cessation of hostilities agreement) and to implement … calm in Aleppo".
The Observatory said the hospital had been heavily damaged.
In rebel-held parts of Aleppo, the Observatory said there had been three air strikes, citing information of an unconfirmed number of people killed.
Aleppo, Syria's largest city before the civil war erupted in 2011, has been divided for years between rebel and government-held zones. The city has borne the brunt of increased fighting in recent weeks that has wrecked a February ceasefire.
The Observatory said 279 civilians have been killed in Aleppo by bombardments since April 22 – 155 of them in opposition-held areas and 124 in government-held districts.
DETONATED TUNNELS
The ground assault focused on the Jamiat al-Zahraa area of the city, where insurgent groups detonated tunnels and took a few buildings before advances were checked by the arrival of reinforcements on the government side, the Observatory said.
A Syrian army source said a car bomb was used in an attack nearby, adding that the assault had failed. The source added that "matters had been moving toward Aleppo being included in the truce, but it seems there are those who do not want that".
In a statement, the Nour Al Edin Al Zenkey rebel group accused the government of launching the first ground assault on Tuesday, saying it had attacked west of Aleppo.
The group said the assault was successfully repelled and followed by a counter-attack that led the rebels to capture several positions. –REUTERS

I was recently interviewed by Examiner.com about my background as a chef and how it relates to food allergens in restaurants! Let me know what you think!
Eggs – 1 large egg contain only 70 calories with almost 7 grams of protein. Pair some eggs up with kale, tomatoes, onions and avocado, and you have a super nutritious meal that will fill you up, and is surprisingly healthy.
Hummus and Pita – Chickpeas (or garbanzo beans) have both protein and carbs, plus when blended with olive oil and tahini, you have a very dense mix of protein, carbs, and healthy fats. Remember that this is a bit calorically dense, but since you just used up a bunch of energy, this is the perfect time to add energy back.
Trail Mix – Nuts for protein and fats, fruit for carbs, trail mix is natures candy! It also has the benefit of being portable…so mix your own and take it with you. Pairing nuts with dried blueberries and banana will also keep your immune systems in tip-top form.
Quinoa – It is super trendy AND super healthy with even more nutrients than brown rice, plus the added fiber will keep you fuller longer. It can be eaten hot or cold and can be snuck in meals anytime of the day.
Protein Shake – You may or may not consider this an option, but protein shakes have been specifically formulated for muscle growth, recovery, and storage. However, make sure you do not overdue it, as you may be gaining weight in either muscle, or fat form. You need no more than 20 to 40 grams depending on the type of activity you just finished. Also make sure you have carbs in the mix to replenish your energy as well.
Stir Fry – Many people are very hungry after workouts, but as stated before, don't assume you can eat truckloads of food. For those of us who like the 'full' feeling, its a good idea to bulk on on the low calorie veggies, with the addition of protein (shrimp, chicken, tofu…) and some whole grains. Sodium is an electrolyte that needs to be replenished if you worked up a good sweat, so a little soy sauce doesn't hurt either.
The Salad – Maybe not smothered is super high fat dressing or made with 50% cheese, but a well planned salad full of colors, crunchy nuts and seeds, and even some dried fruit would be an excellent choice after raking up all those leaves.
Sandwiches – Protein and carbs in sandwich form. Easy to make, easy to carry, but tasty to eat!
There are 1,000's of other options, so comment with your favorite post-activity meal or snack!
The fall of quinoa – Other than pumpkin spiced everything (yes I know it is seasonal), pretzel bread, and sriracha, quinoa has been taking over restaurant and retail outlets in the US…which also means as the demand increase, so does the price. Consumers are going to find there there is a whole list of ancient grains they can incorporate into their diet which rival the nutritional value of quinoa, such as kaniwa, amaranth, buckwheat, bulghur, farro, freekeh, grano, millit, oat groats, spelt, sorghum, and teff, not to mention all of the non-processed rice varieties. Hurry up and buy in bulk before these other options become 'the next big thing' and the price increases on those as well.
Hipster Sweets – Think of all the old school desserts which the hipster crowd is ready to reinvent. One that I am hoping for is salted butterscotch, (salted caramel knockoff)! With the boom of specialty beverages as well, we are going to see updated versions of bananas foster, cherries jubilee, baked Alaska, mangos diablo, and peches louis…half of which the hipsters never even heard of.
Turmeric-Shakur – Indian, middle-eastern, and mid-asian cuisine is becoming more and more accepted in the US. One ingredient in particular climbing the ladder is turmeric. It has a bright color and has been used in curries for years, as well as a coloring agent for multiple purposes. It also contains curcumin which potentially can treat a whole list of illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and allergies. Not of these claims have been definitively concluded yet, except for turmeric being a tasty addition to your spice cabinet.
American Comfort Story – We are going to continue seeing a rise in the American comfort food arena in the upcoming year. Chicken & waffles made 1000 ways, mac & cheese with artisan locally sourced cheese, meatloaf with specialty game meats, pies with strange crusts, weird fruits, unfamiliar seasonings, salted red velvet cronut cake-pop cupcakes…!!!!!!!!! How many desserts can we mash together???
What are some of your predictions for 2014? Your guess is as good as mine!
The Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Blend is the current world record holder for hottest chile with over 2million SHUs.
It is recommended that honey should not be fed to infants, the elderly, or people with weakened immune systems due to the honey naturally containing botulism spores.
The myth of a McDonald's hamburger lasting 12 years due to chemicals in the meat is false. With little moisture, small size, and topical seasonings, the burger dehydrates before it can spoil almost preserving it like jerky.
The optimal doneness for a steak is medium-rare. This allows most of the marbled fat to render and provide and juicy and flavorful steak. Too rare, and you will have unrendered fat which will not provide optimal taste…too well and you will have excess fat and moisture loss.
The juice that comes from steak is nat actually blood. It is called myoglobin, and is only found in the bloodstream during injury. It normally resides in muscle tissue, which is the part we commonly eat.
It does not matter if you use Crisco, margarine, butter, lard, canola oil, vegetable oil, olive oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, or palm oil…they all contain 9cal/gram of fat. There are other positive and negative health concerns associated with each, but they still supply the same amount of calories.
80% of the world's nations eat bugs as a form of food.
Heavy mayonnaise weighs less than regular mayonnaise.
One of the main flavoring agents in Worcestershire sauce is anchovies.
Taste, texture, and apparence actually have little do to with the flavor of food compared to its odor.
There are more Subway restaurants on the planet than there are McDonald's.
There is only one McDonald's in the world that does not have golden arches. it resides in Arizona, and is turquoise so it does't clash with the natural red rock formations.
Durring emergencies, coconut water can be used as a substitute for blood plasma.
Alaskans eat more ice cream per capita than any other state.
Cotton candy only costs about $0.06 to make, making it one of the most profitable snacks at any state fair.
Bubblegum will melt at 125°F.
It is estimated that 40% of all bottled water is actually standard tap water with no additional treatment.
Like I said before, I like to feel full when I eat. This causes a problem when also on a calorie restricted diet! Here is a list of low calorie food options that you should add to your diet to pack in the VOLUME of food you want, with a low amount of calories!
Cabbage – The darker green and brighter purple the better. Very affordable, great crunchy texture, and contains properties that may reduce your risk of cancer and stink up your house when cooked.
Kale – You have seen, and will see this ingredient popping up more and more on menus and store shelves. It has been classified as one of the best super-foods, which means it packs an amazing nutritional punch with very little calories. You can also call yourself a hipster while eating it.
Beets – A slightly sweet, earthy vegetable with beautiful color and rich in iron, potassium, and folate. It is also growing on the 'trendy' side by being added to veggie burgers, and new improved salads. Dr. Dre would be proud.
Cauliflower – Another great source of vitamin C and folate, this vegetable is wonderful in place of mashed potatoes, used in indian curry dishes, and a whole head can be sliced into planks and grilled for cool presentations.
Mushrooms – No matter if you use standard button mushrooms, or branch out into the hundreds of varieties available, mushrooms are low in calories but are full of immune-boosting antioxidants. They also contain the elusive UMAMI flavor profile which will add some savory meat flavor to your recipes.
Tomatoes – Real tomatoes are actually very low in calories! It is only when we associate they with pizza, ketchup, and meat sauce do they pack in the calories. Tomatoes contain all those healthy vitamins and minerals you are looking for plus some natural sweetness.
Zucchini – This squash is VERY low in calories while being VERY easy to grow in your own garden. It is pack with vitamin A and is a tasty treat raw, or cooked. Call them courgettes to be extra fancy.
Egg whites – 1 whole cup of egg whites has about 120 calories and 26 grams of protein. HHHMMM maybe make an omelet with all the above ingredients mixed together?!?!?
Cod – This is a mild white fish that is very high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Since it is so mild, it will easily blend with any other flavors you add to it.
Fat-free cottage cheese – You can get about 11g of protein for a half cup serving with only 70 calories. This type of protein is digested very fast, so it is perfect for recuperating after a tough workout.
Coffee/tea – It is only when you blend with heavy cream, sugar, whipped cream, honey, chocolate syrup, and caramel do these beverages become high in calories. There is also, of course, caffein which has been shown to improve your calorie burning thru the day, but still does not increase the quality of your work, or make that morning meeting any better.

On 22 January 2014, a strong French column of more than a hundred soldiers transported by armored vehicles out of the city of Timbuktu and turns towards the northwest, then turns east after traveling fifty kilometers.

On the night of January 22 to 23, the French attacked a group of jihadists in the desert about 130 kilometers north of Timbuktu. The fight takes place south of the village of Kondaoui where jihadists were probably come to stock up on food and water. One resident said the French attack with Special Forces soldiers backed by helicopters.

Officially, according to the French general staff, a dozen "terrorists" were killed and a French soldier is injured as a result of an "act of opportunity." According to French and Malian military, the picture is more precisely 11 dead on the rebel side and a Salafi injured prognosis uncommitted for French. In addition, two pickup jihadists were destroyed. At least one of the dead is identified jihadists; Algeria's Abdelkader Ben Boucha, 33, from El Oued.

Q: Importing new database table Where I'm at there is a main system that runs on a big AIX mainframe.  To facility reporting and operations there is nightly dump from the mainframe into SQL Server, such that each of our 50-ish clients is in their own database with identical schemas.  This dump takes about 7 hours to finish each night, and there's not really anything we can do about it: we're stuck with what the application vendor has provided.
After the dump into sql server we use that to run a number of other daily procedures.  One of those procedures is to import data into a kind of management reporting sandbox table, which combines records from a particularly important table from across the different databases into one table that managers who don't know sql so can use to run ad-hoc reports without hosing up the rest of the system.  This, again, is a business thing: the managers want it, and they have the power to see that we implement it.
The import process for this table takes a couple hours on it's own.  It filters down about 40 million records spread across 50 databases into about 4 million records, and then indexes them on certain columns for searching.  Even at a coupld hours it's still less than a third as long as the initial load, but we're running out of time for overnight processing, we don't control the  mainframe dump, and we do control this.  So I've been tasked with looking for ways to improve one the existing procedure.
Currently, the philosophy is that it's faster to load all the data from each client database and then index it afterwards in one step.  Also, in the interest of avoiding bogging down other important systems in case it runs long, a couple of the larger clients are set to always run first (the main index on the table is by a clientid field).  One other thing we're starting to do is load data from a few clients at a time in parallel, rather than each client sequentially.
So my question is, what would be the most efficient way to load this table?  Are we right in thinking that indexing later is better?  Or should we create the indexes before importing data?  Should we be loading the table in index order, to avoid massive re-ordering of pages, rather than the big clients first?  Could loading in parallel make things worse by causing to much disk access all at once or removing our ability to control the order?  Any other ideas?
Update
Well, something is up.  I was able to do some benchmarking during the day, and there is no difference at all in the load time whether the indexes are created at the beginning or at the end of the operation, but we save the time building the index itself (it of course builds nearly instantly with no data in the table).

A: I have worked with loading bulk sets of data in SQL Server quite a bit and did some performance testing on the Index on while inserting and the add it afterwards.  I found that BY FAR it was much more efficient to create the index after all data was loaded.  In our case it took 1 hour to load with the index added at the end, and 4 hours to add it with the index still on.
I think the key is to get the data moved as quick as possible, I am not sure if loading it in order really helps, do you have any stats on load time vs. index time?  If you do, you could start to experiment a bit on that side of things.

A: Loading with the indexes dropped is better as a live index will generate several I/O's for every row in the database.  4 million rows is small enough that you would not expect to get a significant benefit from table partitioning.
You could get a performance win by using bcp to load the data into the staging area and running several tasks in parallel (SSIS will do this).  Write a generic batch file wrapper for bcp that takes the file path (and table name if necessary) and invoke a series of jobs in half a dozen threads with 'Execute Process' tasks in SSIS.  For 50 jobs it's probably not worth trying to write a data-driven load controller process.  Wrap these tasks up in a sequence container so you don't have to maintain all of the dependencies explicitly.
You should definitely drop and re-create the indexes as this will greatly reduce the amount of I/O during the process.
If the 50 sources are being treated identically, try loading them into a common table or building a partitioned view over the staging tables.

A: Index at the end, yes. Also consider setting the log level setting to BULK LOGGED to minimize writes to the transaction log. Just remember to set it back to FULL after you've finished.

A: To the best of my knowledge, you are correct - it's much better to add the records all at once and then index once at the end.
