Q: Sql server - default Boa noite, criei uma tabela para testar o default do sql server:

fiz um select para ver se os valores padrões do default foram inseridos mas vocês podem ver na imagem que isso não ocorreu. Quando é que ele insere esses valores padrões? Eu achei que esses valores eram inseridos quando fosse passado valores nulos ou vazios. Outro problema é que a data inserida foi de 1900 e isso só acontece nesse caso, porque se eu passar o getDate() no insert a data a salvar será a atual.

A: Quando você insere '' no banco de dados , ele NÃO entende isso como valor não informado e sim como string vazia . Sendo assim no campo varchar ele armazena a string vazia e no campo date converte pra 1900-01-01.
Como você não informou a ordem dos campos e quais campos vão ser inseridos no seu insert ele segue a ordem da sua tabela. Exemplo:
Se você fizer insert into [testes5] (nome) values ('josé') o campo data vai receber o getdate().
Se você fizer insert into [testes5] (data) values ('2015-01-01') o campo nome vai receber o padrão.
ou se quiser fazer o insert sem informar a ordem e campos inseridos como tentou pode fazer
insert into [testes5] values (default,default)

A: CREATE TABLE [testes5] (
  `id` integer PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  `nome` varchar(255) DEFAULT 'Padrão',
  `data` date DEFAULT getdate()
)

INSERT INTO [testes5] (nome, data) VALUES (DEFAULT, DEFAULT)

SELECT * FROM [testes5]

Se você especificar um valor sem string ou NULL, será reconhecido como valor em branco ou nulo ao invés de não especificado, fazendo com que não seja inserido o valor padrão.


The first half of this movie should have been called STALLED. It takes 45 loooooong minutes to set up the main character, the romance, and what will eventually become the main plot…and they do it with about five minutes worth of script. That being said, once this clunker gets back on the road it becomes a sleek machine. Albert Brooks is scary good as the big bad with a blade fetish and Ryan Gosling is finally allowed to act in the last hour. Worth seeing for sure…guess I'm spoiled. Two of the actors in this (Ron Perlman and Bryan Cranston) star in shows that are as good if not better than this. DRIVE seems like a golf cart compared to the NASCAR speeds reached on a weekly basis by Breaking Bad and Sons Of Anarchy.

Reebok Reinvented: New Silhouette. New Print. Same Great Tradition!
As branded athletic shoes go, Reebok's history has been a roller coaster ride. Up. Down. But always moving forward—reason enough to check out the latest and greatest, the Reebok Print Run 2.0.
You would be hard-pressed to find a pack of runners missing Reebok loyalists. Many go back decades — some to the company's beginnings in 1958 when the grandsons of British athletic shoemaker J.W. Foster launched Reebok.
They picked a company name loaded with powerful imagery: Wear these shoes and work to acquire the speed, style and grace exhibited by Reeboks (African Gazelles) in the wild.
This brand message plus solid manufacturing drove the worldwide love affair between runners and Reebok — a love affair that's as strong today as it was back then.
More than 20 years later — back in the day athletic shoes were called sneakers — sporting goods distributor Paul Fireman concluded that while the first iteration of Reeboks were being grabbed up by a limited audience, it was time to introduce the brand to the rest of the planet.
As a result of his foresight in 1979, Reebok took its rightful place on the world athletic stage and never lost its allure or reputation.
With each new model and style, engineering and design were tweaked to roll out Reebok athletic shoes appealing to the changing tastes and desires of consumers who were also enamoured with the world's burgeoning running movement.
Reebok turned up the heat by introducing the first athletic shoe for women in 1982 - followed by The Pump in 1989. This embellishment turned basketball upside down as players were able to customise the fit of their Reeboks simply by depressing the pump added to the shoe's exterior.
Despite price tags that caused parents of little basketballers to suffer sticker shock, the Reebok Pump proved groundbreaking. It knocked out prime competitor Nike, and the brand never faltered. That's why the debut of the first Reebok Print Run found favour with runners.
Now, it's time to meet the next generation: The Print Run 2.0.
Why the Print Run 2.0?
Perhaps the biggest reason an athlete would prefer the Print Run 2.0 over both competitors and other Reebok styles has to do with new and novel technology represented within the shoe's design. The sleek outsole emulates digital pressure mapping technology while the shoe silhouette that Reebok calls both stylish and "lifestyle relevant" has no comparison in today's athletic shoe market.
While nobody could stop professional athletes from buying and wearing the 2.0, this wasn't what Reebok had in mind when they rolled out the Print: Designers had the everyday runner in mind, thus aesthetic detailing and construction decisions were based on research showing that ordinary runners crave a shoe that performs optimally on light runs and during run-led fitness training.
The signature pattern even has a secret weapon: it adds stability and flexibility where runners need it most.
No shoe will find favour with wearers if it's uncomfortable, so Reebok's list of "must-haves" when the 2.0 was still on the drawing board was a degree of precision cushioning that offers the sensation of having been custom fitted to the foot. Two densities of foam are strategically located within the outsole construction to provide protection and comfort in foot areas most often in need of extra attention.
While comfort may be key to a great fit, performance often depends upon the amount of flexibility an athletic shoe delivers. Reebok's Print 2.0 excels in this area because it is fashioned using a "zone" construction system made up of a web of independent nodes and flexible grooves that takes flexibility to a higher plane. This is particularly important for athletes who have been disappointed by such promises in the past.
Reebok saved the best for last when designers focused their efforts on enhanced stability. It matters not how comfy a running shoe feels or how much flexibility it offers, they determined. Stability must play a major engineering role so wearers stand the best chance of remaining safe and injury-free. That's why one can move in any direction (from sprint to casual runs) wearing 2.0s and a controlled, 360-degree dual-density perimeter grid surrounding independent nodes delivers stable tracking.
Curious about whether folks at Reebok wear another brand? Not on your life! Stop the corporation's General Manager of Running, Scott Daley, as he runs along his favourite trail and you'll find the latest iteration of Reeboks on his feet.
Because he runs, he never hesitates to proclaim that despite other sports genres for which the brand is known, "At the heart of our fitness [library] is running."
And who doesn't want to look fashion forward while ensuring a run in shoes that have been crafted with such attention to detail? For Daley, that detail is personified in the entire Print franchise.
Runners experience more freedom of movement and quicker transitions thanks to the low-cut design.
Many were thrilled with the lightweight mesh upper and lateral overlays offering ventilation and support.
The carbon rubber heel stands up to daunting terrain without showing signs of early deterioration.
There were no shortage of compliments when rating the mid-sole's superior comfort.
If there's a special place in your heart for both tradition and performance, the Reebok Print 2.0 deserves a prime spot in your closet. Not only is it a refined version of an already-successful franchise, but the 2.0 is so structurally sound, shoppers can feel confident that years of wear (and as many years of blissful comfort) await.

Will a new pair of Reebok Print 2.0 athletic shoes brew your coffee or call your boss to let her know you're sick? Well, Reebok has yet to come up with either feature, but who knows what's in store for recreational runners down the road? That's why it's wise to keep a perpetual eye on Reebok. You never know what they'll come up with next!
How important, in your opinion, is brand history? Does it factor into your athletic shoe buying decisions or are your buying allegiances less than loyal?
The Print Run 2.0 is priced at S$129 and is available at all Reebok mono-brand stores and through Royal Sporting House stores island-wide.

ABS Guide Helps Prevent Dropped Objects
New guidance addresses the source of one of industry's biggest safety risks.
(Houston) ABS, the leading provider of classification and technical services to the offshore industry, has provided a systematic approach to dropped object management and prevention. The new ABS Guide for Dropped Object Prevention for Offshore Units and Installations includes a program of requirements and best practices to protect assets, personnel and working environments from dropped object incidents.
"Dropped objects are one of the leading causes of fatalities and serious injuries in the offshore oil and gas industry," says ABS Executive Vice President for Global Offshore Ken Richardson. "Our new guide will help companies develop effective dropped object prevention programs, reducing dropped object incidents by identifying potential problems, mitigating risks, providing employee training and using lessons learned for continued improvement."
The Guide provides a two-tier approach that includes onboard management of new and existing equipment and a program for engineering review and manufacturing approval of equipment designed specifically to reduce the risk of dropped objects.
"Dropped objects are a constant challenge in maintaining a safe offshore work environment," says ABS Chief Technology Officer Howard Fireman.

ANKARA, TURKEY - OCTOBER 18 : Minister of Justice of Turkey, Abdulhamit Gul speaks as he is special guest of Anadolu Agency's Editors' Desk in Ankara, Turkey on October 18, 2018. AFP PHOTOS
Minister: Turkey constructed 94 more prisons over the past 5 years
Justice Minister Abdülhamit Gül has announced that Turkey, which has been witnessing mass arrests since a failed coup in July 2016, has constructed 94 more prisons over the past five years, with close to 300,000 inmates currently in these prisons, Turkish media outlets reported.
Responding to a parliamentary question about prison statistics submitted by an opposition deputy, Republican People's Party (CHP) deputy Ömer Fethi Gürer, Gül said there are currently 355 prisons in the country.
The country's prison population comprises 232,342 people who were convicted of crimes and 48,452 others who are jailed pending trial.
Following the coup attempt, the Turkish government launched a massive crackdown on non-loyalist citizens under the pretext of an anti-coup fight, as a result of which more than 130,000 people were removed from state jobs while in excess of 25,000 others are still in prison and some 600,000 people have been investigated on allegations of terrorism.

Ed. — Frans is well known to John Firth. John personally commissioned Frans to create this year's visually captivating comic-art series on various game animals to be encountered at Hillcrest Game Estates. At the end of this article, we feature the full series of Frans' amazing works of comic-art which was published in this year's Autumn, Winter and Spring editions of the Hillcrest Game Estates Newsletter. God-willing, once Frans is back to full health, we hope to feature more of his thought-provoking, visually captivating comic-art. In the meanwhile though, the editorial team wishes Frans the speediest of recoveries—In our thoughts and prayers too.
About the author: Pastor Ludwig Alberts pastors a congregation at Crossword Church in Somerset West. Ed. Frans Groenewald is a council member and Minister's Warden at this church.
At 8am on the 1st of October 2018 while we were having coffee at The Farm House in Somerset West, Frans Groenewald suffered a severe stroke owing to a blockage of his left carotid artery going to the left side of the brain. The first sign was that he could not speak clearly and struggled to pronounce certain words. We quickly did the first 3 aspects of the F.A.S.T. stroke test (Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties and Time to call emergency services). Realising Frans' condition was serious, we skipped the T-part of the stroke test and immediately rushed Frans to Vergelegen Mediclinic.
Like with all strokes it is very difficult to give a definitive prognosis for recovery, but due to the "size" of this one and after the failure of a stent operation in the left carotid artery, the doctors where very hesitant to be positive. Frans was released from ICU and after a couple of days he was released to SpesCare (a facility that specialises in stroke recovery).
Unfortunately within a day he developed blood clots in his lungs and was rushed back to hospital for a further two weeks in ICU. Thereafter, Frans was again released to SpesCare where he remained for the month of November. and have made such recovery to the point where is now at home with the need to visit the SpesCare unit twice a week for further rehabilitation sessions.
Frans' current condition—State of health and recovery steady but slow
Seen here, Frans sits upright on his hospital bed. Frans' recovery is slow but steady and positive.
Frans can walk and use the right side of his body as well as his arm and hand increasingly. He is fully aware of where he is and can understand and follow conversations. His speech is still greatly affected and struggles to follow complicated instructions. But he progresses daily.
Frans is a Jesus Christ Follower and an active member of CrossWord Church in Somerset West. With various forms of support and prayer, the congregation and many of Frans' friends (and clients) rallied around him—inclusive of his wife Grace and their two sons who've been receiving much support and prayer too. God has been very gracious to Frans, giving him a positive outlook and earnest ability to accept the misfortune that has befallen him. After the initial shock and trauma passed, Frans has been "impatient" in a positive sense—He want to recover as much as possible every day.
It's a true wonder that God has blessed Frans with Grace Groenewald, his truly amazing and supportive wife. Moreover, Frans' recovery is being attended to by an incredible medical team: a physiotherapist, a speech-therapist and an occupational therapist. These specialists are true "miracle workers." They are "teaching" Frans' brain to "take over" the affected areas, literally resulting in Frans' health improving on a daily basis.
Seen here, Frans and his wife Grace.
There's still long road ahead though: The fullest extent of Frans' healing and recovery is "almost impossible to predict." Nonetheless, we all continue to pray for Frans. Your prayers and support will be received with thanksgiving and appreciation. There is much light at the end of the tunnel for Frans and his family. God is at work!
For your viewing pleasure, see (below) Frans' full collection of comic-art.
Ed. — Thank you Frans, we love your work!

Write and essay
Dmb write a song chords
You should also stick to essay on customer service experience major keys, with C major being the most popular. An example of the sort of contrast you might want can be seen below: For the final composed section of a tango, we need to modulate to the relative major. "As you get older, your filters are much more refined," Sting has said. In it, successful songwriters talk about the craft, and we see hit-maker Guy Chambers in action as he co-writes with a selection of artists. If you are using A minor so far, then we now will move to C major. The Basics You can begin to add your own personality and originality when creating your percussion parts; begin with one of these rhythmic cells as a basis. A while back I wrote a little song on Jeremiah 9:23-24. Don Black believes lyrics should say something new about the human condition; Björn and Benny of Abba said you should have at least five hooks in a track. Since the 50s, songs have become longer, from an average of 2. As mentioned earlier, melodies in tangos tend to be chromatic. I Will Survive, for example, was originally a B-side track before a Studio 54 DJ picked up on it. Melodies also tend to use lots of chromatic notes, so use these to fill in research paper on advertisement any gaps between tones in your melody. As before, add a bass part, and then a melody, aiming to make this section sound a bit different from the other two. He started out playing some ideas he'd recorded on his Blackberry, including a rap called Everybody Wants a Piece of the Action, and so proved my fear about filtering unfounded. If you look at our most popular worship songs, they are based on God's truths. But while there are tricks of the trade to deliver songs in a more palatable way, other key ingredients are more elusive. The remaining notes can be any pitched from any note in the chord. The most successful artist of all time, chart-wise, is Mariah Carey – followed by Madonna, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and someone called Patti Page (glad to see Hall & Oates coming in eighth). Music industry publication Billboard recently revealed the stats of all the songs that had featured in the magazine's Hot world history homework help 100 dmb write a song chords charts. But while I found the Ronson session quite painful to watch, the Rufus Wainwright session – in which the goal was to write a ballad – was inspiring. A view echoed by the radio pluggers who thought it could possibly be a fourth single, adding: "It's not bad, but it's not great. You can put whole sections of the Bible to music or get take some ideas and create a song around specific concepts. Of the top 10 most successful songs of all time, only Kanye West's Gold Digger is in a minor key. He recently used Adele's Someone Like You as an example of how the theories in his book are correct. The number of hits in this category has steadily risen, and is now 25% higher than in the 50s. "The critical mind takes over from the creative mind, and I think they are opposed. Billboard shows it has become increasingly important to get a cut with artists who are already successful. The melody doesn't have to be too fancy however, just look at the example below made when using the skeleton score above: Once you have got a melody and phd research proposal science harmony that works well together, repeat these steps to create another 8 bars of music. If Black or the guys from Abba knew that, they might still be churning out hits. Now that you have your skeleton score, begin to add a melody. This doesn't exactly tally with stats provided by Billboard, although Adele's hit is in a major key. So for an A minor chord, move first note in the bar should be an A, and for and E7 chord the first note should be an E. If your melody doesn't seem to fit the harmony, try checking whether you can fit more consonant notes into your melody. Maybe it makes more sense to look to songwriters who have had plenty of hits. As with athletes, it's important to exercise the writing muscle. BBC2's brilliant current series Secrets of the Pop Song is trying to shed light on the issue. When I first heard of the BBC's intention to film the process of songwriting, I wondered if it could work. When composing your tango, remember that tangos are composed to be danced to, not just listened to! Finishing Your Piece Another way of developing your piece is by adding a second (or even third) melody. What is apparent is that none of them knew they were writing an anthem at the time. If you can't add any more notes and the melody still doesn't fit, then you can add more chromatic scales to the melody to help mask this. We can extend the chords we can use to make harmony to I, ii, iii, IV, V7 and vi to help once again build our 8 bar skeleton score. Rhythmically, melodies can move either with your bass line, or they can play flowing straight notes to contrast the dotted rhythms in the other instruments. That may sound like a frustrating process, but most writers would agree it's necessary to write non-hits to get to the nuggets. Through the decades, many books have been written on the subject – usually rutgers admission essay by people who aren't songwriters themselves – using analyses of previous hits to come up with solutions. You can try to add one of the melodies you made earlier, or make a new one specifically to fit the harmony. After trying out a few ideas they settled on an African highlife sound. The creative process is intensely personal, and you need to feel relaxed and comfortable enough to talk about intimate experiences, and to throw some ridiculous ideas into the mix. There's one thing successful songwriters have in common: they all love the music they write. The easiest way to begin composing this type of music, is to familiarize yourself with the style through listening, or better still playing some tangos, and other Latin American music. You can use a second melody antiphonally, as a call and response feature with your existing melody. If you want a hit, it may be best to stay away from writing ballads – ever since the 40s, the average tempo of chart entrants has hovered between 117bpm and 122bpm (ballads usually play at around 90bpm). The main musical features to work on when starting to compose your first tango are the bass, melody and general rhythmic feel. Most people don't realise that, even for successful writers, the good-v-great dmb write a song chords ratio is low: Chambers has written more than 1,000 songs in the last 15 years, of which 21 ranked in the top 10 – that's one hit for every 47 songs. Examples of bass lines can be seen below. As Motown legend Lamont Dozier once said: "I've written about 78 top 10 songs, and I still don't know what a hit is. ' How Great Thou Art' is a beautiful illustration of this. dmb write a song chords The main chords used when the music is in the minor key are the chords i, iv, V7 and VI. Thus says the LORD, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD dissertation consulting service co uk who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD. When starting out, the easiest key to use is the harmonic minor, but all minor key variations are fine to use. Look at this example to get an idea how to make a successful tango percussion part: Most tangos begin in a minor dmb write a song chords key, reflecting the serious nature of the dance (indeed, most dancers keep stern faces when dancing dmb write a song chords tangos). Once you have this simple starting point, begin to intuitively add other notes until you have a fuller sounding percussion part. Even though he'd just met Chambers, he revealed personal things, which later were incorporated into a beautiful ballad called World War Three (shame that ballads rate so low on Billboard's hit barometer). Although the song was written in an earlier century, the song is still sung today and loved in many cultures. Using music to convey the truths in the Bible is a great place to get ideas for the lyrics. Composing A Tango From Scratch The first note of every bar dmb write a song chords should be the root of the harmony. DNA he argues that people are discovering music online and not always via radio, so song intros need to be shorter. 26 minutes this decade. He used an old songwriter saying as the first line of the chorus – divine wind garry disher essay "don't bore us, get dmb write a song chords to the chorus" – as a metaphor for life. That verse talks about not boasting about ourselves, but boasting about our relationship with our God who exhibits lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth. " He admits that, nowadays, it can take him months – even years – to write one song, as he feels every idea he has is too much like something else he or somebody else has written. Ronson noted that very few hits had that particular sound, bar Vampire Weekend, which probably should have been a reason to abandon the idea. ) The psalms were originally songs sung by writers like King David. "The intro is five seconds long, it's at walking tempo (105bpm), contains repetition of many lyrics with a choral counter-chorus, has a very sly shift in the chord progression at the bridge, and contains many dynamic shifts throughout the song," he concludes. Author Jay Frank says the way people consume music in the digital age has changed what makes a hit. If you have less space for call and response type melodies, you can use harmonize the melody in thirds or sixths dmb write a song chords (but be careful in the places you have use chromaticism! How do you write a hit song? Most melodies should work; though make sure you have some consonant notes in every bar! In most tangos, the harmony comes out through the bass line, or a through a piano accompaniment. Also, be careful not to add too many short notes; try to make quaver notes (eighth-notes) the shortest notes that you use. However, be careful not to overcrowd the percussion part, as this may hide the tango pulse. I can only go by what I feel. Moving by step, or by leap is equally okay (as long as the melody works with the harmony! 36 minutes to 4. Many songs have been written with the same ingredients – a hook that makes people feel good, a repetitive chorus, basic chords – and yet they've failed to set the world alight. Tangos use relatively simple harmony, which contrasts the more complicated rhythms and melodies. Try to make these a bit different from the first bars, either by making the rhythms more complex, or by making the melody more chromatic. ) so as long as your melody sounds musical, it's okay! They're not cynical about their craft. The prospect of being judged by a TV audience would surely make writers curb their ideas. Yet it ended up generating over $100m. It features some of the songwriters behind past anthems, analysing why they think their songs became so popular. In his book Future Hit. In the third and final episode, to be broadcast this Saturday, Chambers and the Noisettes attempt to write an anthem. So who's right? In A minor these chords would be A minor, D minor, E7 and F major. But how do you come up with a great hook? If you arrange your music later on, then arrange these bars differently to the first. As a serious dance form, it is epitomized by the dancers jerky movements to the characteristic rhythms. " His point was brought home as Chambers got together with Mark Ronson (most famous for his collaboration with Amy dmb write a song chords Winehouse) and budding artist Thalia to write her a breakthrough hit. It can also be detrimental to throw away the seed of a song too early. " One of the advantages of being a songwriter instead of a performer is that, while artists have a hard time recovering their reputation when a record bombs, the only time the public pays attention to who wrote a song is when it's a hit. If anyone was hoping to stumble on a secret formula, that hope was quickly shattered. This includes the 7th if your using the V7 chord.

Google Maps Now Highlights Local Restaurants With Delivery and Takeout Options
Kishalaya Kundu -

Last Updated: April 6, 2020 1:10 pm
With billions of people around the world stuck inside their homes as part of social distancing guidelines issued by medical professionals, epidemiologists and the World Health Organization (WHO), Google Maps has started highlighting local restaurants and eateries that offer Takeaway or Delivery options.
As seen in the screenshots below, the app now has separate 'Takeout' and 'Delivery' buttons on the top of its home page, and tapping on either one reveals the addresses and locations of nearby restaurants that offer those options. The service also allows you to view the restaurant's menu, timings and even customer reviews for these places.
Unfortunately, though, one cannot order food directly from the app in India because there's no integration with services like Swiggy and Zomato. In the US, however, Google has been working with the likes of DoorDash, Postmates, Delivery.com, Slice and ChowNow, to enable users to order food via Maps and Assistant, so at least some of the listed restaurants linked with the aforementioned delivery services will be able to take direct orders.
Google doesn't seem to have officially announced any details about the new feature, but if online reports are to be believed, users not only in India, but also in the US, France and Canada are reporting seeing the new options in their app. It's available on both Android and iOS, and will very likely be rolled out globally, if it hasn't been already. Do note that these are in addition to other coronavirus-related changes, such as shortcuts to Google Search and the company' dedicated COVID-19 hub.

These days, there's no need to settle on a single answer to the question of what standard to reference in describing people and organizations. The current environment — where the speed of change can be daunting — demands strategies that start with descriptive properties that meet local needs as expressed in use cases. Taking the further step of mapping these known needs to a variety of existing standards best provides both local flexibility and interoperability with the wider world.
In the world of Web standards, most thinking about how to describe people and organizations begins with the FOAF vocabulary (http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/), developed in 2000 as 'Friend of a Friend' and now used extensively on the web to describe people, groups, and organizations. FOAF is an RDF-based specification, and as such is poised to gain further in importance as the ideas behind Linked Data gain traction and more widespread implementation. FOAF is quite simple on its face, but as an RDF vocabulary it is easily extended to meet needs for richer and more complex information. FOAF is now in a stable state, and its developers have recently entered into an agreement with the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI), to provide improved persistence and sustainability for the website and the standard.
More recent standards efforts are emerging and deserve attention as well. Several that address the building of descriptions for people and organizations are in working draft at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Although still in draft status, they offer several alternative methods for description that look very useful. Because organizations in these standards are declared as subclasses of foaf:agent, the close association with the FOAF standard is built in.
What may be most useful about FOAF — and more recent standards that seek to extend it — is both its simple and unambiguous method of providing identification of people and groups, as well as its recommendations for minting URIs for significant information about the person or group identified.
But despite its wide adoption, there are some limitations to basic FOAF that weigh on any assessment of its capacity to describe the diversity of people and organizations involved in the legislative process. Critically, FOAF lacks a method for assigning a temporal dimension to roles, membership, or affiliations. That temporal requirement is essential to any model used for describing relationships between legislation, legislators, and legislative groups or organizations, both retrospectively and prospectively. The emerging W3C standard for modeling governmental organizational structures (which includes the modelling descriptions of people and organizations mentioned above), contemplates extensions to FOAF designed to address this limitation. Another emerging standard, the Society of American Archivists' EAC-CPF, also includes provisions for temporal metadata, and seems to take a very broad view of what it models, making it a standard worth watching.
Thinking about affiliations gives a good feel for the process of working with standards; it takes a certain amount of careful thought and some trimming to fit. As an illustration, think about a member of Congress and her history as a congressional committee member. It's not unusual for a member to serve on a committee for a while, become its chairperson, become ranking minority member after a change in the majority party, become chairperson once again, and finally settle down as a regular member of the committee. One might imagine this as a series of memberships in the committee, each with a different flavor, or as a single membership with changing roles. The figure at the right illustrates that history. The illustration at the top represents the "serial-membership" approach that is used in the W3C standard. In it, a membership also represents a specific role within the committee and has a duration; the total timespan for an individual's committee service can only be found by calculation or inference. The bottom illustration, which represents roles and membership independently, is a little clunky in that it assigns durations to both roles and overall membership independently. Nevertheless, we prefer it. It does not require predecessor/successor relationships to link the individual role-memberships into a continuous membership span, nor does it require the slightly contrived idea of a "plain-vanilla" membership. On the other hand, it is a bit clunky in that it requires the assignment of durations in a way that might be considered duplicative.
We think that modelers are often tempted to choose standards prematurely, taking a kind of Chinese-menu approach to modeling can be overly influenced by the appeal of one-stop shopping. Our preference has been to model as closely to the data as we can. Once we have a model that is faithful to the data, we can start to think about which of its components should be taken from existing models — no sooner. In that way we avoid representation problems and also some hidden "gotchas" such as nonsensical or inappropriate default values, relationships that almost work, and so on. The same can be said of structure and hierarchy among objects — best to start modeling in a way that is very flat and very close to the data, and only once that is completed gather things into sub- and super-classes, sub properties, and so on.
One question that always arises in discussing standards like FOAF in a library context is the prevalence of the MARC model in most discussions of description of people and organizations. Traditionally, libraries have used MARC name authority records as the basis for uniquely identifying people and organizations, providing text strings for both identification and display. Similar functionality has been attempted with the recent additions to the Library of Congress's Metadata Authority Description Schema (MADS). MADS was originally developed as an XML expression of the traditional MARC authority data. Now, with the arrival of a public draft standard, focus is shifting toward an RDF expression to provide a path for migration of MADS data into the Semantic Web environment.
MADS, like its parent USMARC Authority Format, focuses on preferred names for people and organizations, including variants, rather than on describing the person or organization more fully. As such it provides a useful 'hook' into library data referencing the person or organization, but is not really designed to accommodate the broader uses required for this project.
There is also a question about where this new RDF pathway for MADS might go, given the traditional boundaries of the MARC name authority world. In that tradition, names are added to the distributed file based on 'literary warrant', requiring that there be an object of descriptive interest which is by or about the person or organization that is a candidate for inclusion. That is not a particularly useful basis for describing legislators, hearing witnesses, or others who have not written books or been the subject of them. Control of names and name variants will surely be necessary in the new web environment, and the extensive data and experience with the inherent problems of change in names will be essential, but not sufficient, for more widely-scoped projects like this one.
Legislatures create myriad documents that must be identified and related to one another. For each of those documents, there are people and organizations fulfilling a variety of roles in the events the documents narrate, the creation of the documents themselves, the endorsement of their conclusions, or the implementation of whatever those documents describe. Those people and organizations include not only legislators and the various committees and other sub-organizations of the legislature, but also the executive branch which, primarily through the President, exercises the final steps in the legislative process, as well as bearing responsibility for implementation. Finally, there are other parties, often outside government, who are involved in the legislative process as hearing witnesses or authors of committee prints, whose identity and organizational affiliations are essential to full description and interpretation. These latter present a particularly strong case for linked-data approaches, as they are unlikely to have any sort of formal description constructed for them by the legislature. The Congressional Biographical Dictionary is an excellent resource — but it is a dictionary of Congresspeople, not of all those who appear in Congressional documents. The latter would be impossible for any single entity to construct and maintain. But the task can be divided and conquered in concert with resources like the New York Times linked-data publishing effort, DBPedia, Freebase, and so on.
the level of "institutionalization" or "officialness". In the case of government institutions in any branch, that may often rest on some legal authority that establishes the group and describes its scope of operations (as with the Federal courts). It may also take the form of a single, very narrow capability (as when an agency is said to have "gift authority"#). Finally, it may also be established through tradition. For example, the Congressional Black Caucus has existed for over 40 years, and occupies offices in the Longworth House Office Building, but has no formal existence in law.
Because that distinction is so blurry, we have chosen to treat all organizations similarly, using common properties that allow users to determine how official the organization is by 'following their noses'. The accumulation of statement-level data about any of the dimensions listed above (or others, for that matter) serves as evidence. Thus, users of the model are free to draw their own conclusions about the "officialness" of any collection of people, although a statutory or constitutional mandate might well be interpreted as dispositive.
We end here, as usual, with a couple of musical selections: 1, 2 , 3 Next time: Events.

China: Creating the right strategy
Gloria Q Wu and Samiko Sun
By Gloria Q Wu and Samiko Sun
Kangxin Partners PC A number of strategies can be used to obtain trademark registrations in China smoothly and with a broad scope of protection
The new Trademark Law, implemented on May 1 2014, was a major step forward for intellectual property in China. While this latest version of the law was published smoothly and on time, the accompanying regulations – as well as some detailed examination criteria – have not yet been published.
The following are some tips and advice for anyone planning to or filing a trademark application in China.
It is crucial that applicants have a Chinese version of a Latin trademark if they are seriously planning to develop their business in China. If applicants do not choose their own Chinese versions, Chinese customers will likely invent Chinese nicknames, which may have negative or funny meanings.
In addition, a Chinese transliteration is considered 'not similar' to its corresponding Latin word under trademark practice in China. This means that a rights holder cannot prevent a third party from applying for a Chinese transliteration.
When choosing an appropriate Chinese equivalent for a Latin trademark, the rights holder can choose either a direct translation, a transliteration or a combination of the two.
Other elements to consider include the number of Chinese characters (three is usually fine with regard to both visual and phonetic aspects) and any possible negative meanings – not only in Mandarin, but also in Cantonese and other major dialects, especially those of the places where the client's products are to be sold.
Defensive registrations in other classes are also recommended, given that trademark squatting remains rampant. Although defensive applications may be vulnerable to non-use cancellation for three years, there is no requirement to show intent to use or actual use when filing. In addition, refiling a mark does not constitute bad faith and has no negative outcomes for the applicant.
Specifications in application
The second issue for applicants to bear in mind is that of specifications. The China Trademark Office (CTMO) has updated its Classifications of Goods and Services according to the 10th edition of the Nice Classification (2015), in which one more item of "provision of an on-line marketplace for buyers and sellers of goods and services" related to "retail and wholesale services" was added to Class 35. Retail and wholesale services are still limited to "pharmaceutical, veterinary and sanitary preparations, and medical supplies", and related services (eg, "Sales promotion [for others]; Procurement services for others [purchasing goods and services for other businesses]") do not clearly mention retail and wholesale services.
Another common mistake concerns the scope of coverage, as some classes are not as broad as they sound. For example, while 'clothing' might sound like a general concept covering everything in Class 25, it actually falls into Sub-class 2501. While its scope of protection could be extended to Sub-classes 2501 to 2505, other goods such as shoes, hats and socks from other sub-classes are considered different and are thus beyond the scope of protection. However, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board (TRAB) has decided to change the examination criteria as regards the similarity of goods in Class 25 (ie, all goods in Class 25 will be considered similar to each other). These examination criteria will be applied to non-use cancellation reviews and invalidation cases. As yet, there is no indication from the CTMO as to whether it will adopt the same examination criteria in trademark application and opposition cases.
Therefore, if an applicant wishes its mark to have a broader scope of protection, it would be better to pick at least one item from each sub-class of the class in question and pay attention to the special notes about cross-similar items.
Office actions
According to the old procedure, after a trademark application is received by the CTMO and a filing receipt is issued (usually within around one month), the application will proceed to formal examination, which focuses on the specifications. After this, the applicant may receive office actions requesting that certain goods or services in the specification be amended.
However, under the new procedure this formal examination will be conducted first. The CTMO will issue a filing receipt if there are no issues in this regard. Otherwise, it will issue a notification of amendment if the specifications are not acceptable, which may take around one to two months.
The examination of specifications has become even stricter. This is evident not only in the increase in notifications for amendment, but also in the increase in final rejections. Applicants now have only one chance to amend their application; if the amended items are still not standard or are considered unacceptable, the examiner will issue a final rejection for the entire application, which means that the original filing date cannot be maintained. Applicants should thus amend any queried items to the exact specifications set out in the Chinese classifications.
Substantive examination
Once a trademark application is formally underway, the CTMO will issue an official filing receipt and the application will proceed to substantive examination, which may lead to one of the three results:
preliminary approval and publication in the Official Gazette;
rejection based on absolute or relative grounds for refusal; or
partial approval and partial rejection.
Rejection based on Article 10 is usually difficult to overcome, because it means that there are inherent defects in the trademark. However, where the rejected mark includes a country name, the applicant can submit evidence proving that the whole mark forms the name of newspaper, magazine or official registered name in China – or else has another specific meaning – and thus will not cause confusion among the public. The applicant can also argue that the mark has another distinctive and independent element; that the country in question has approved it; or that trademark as a whole is the same as its own name.
In order to overcome rejection under Article 11, the applicant must usually demonstrate that the trademark is inherently distinctive; or that it has acquired or strengthened distinctiveness through use and become readily identifiable.
In practice, any argument of inherent distinctiveness is difficult to support, since the TRAB generally uses similar examination criteria in this regard as the CTMO. With regard to the argument of acquired distinctiveness, the evidence of use must be strong enough to show that the trademark is recognised by the relevant public as a sign used to distinguish the origin of goods or services.
The rejection rate for three-dimensional (3D) trademarks based on Article 12 is much higher than that for other types of trademark – especially those indicating the shape of a product, where this is considered to be purely functional or common. Therefore, it is recommended that applicants add more distinctive elements to their 3D trademarks to increase the level of distinctiveness.
Turning to relative grounds for refusal, according to Articles 30 and 31 of the new Trademark Law, applications for trademarks that are identical or similar to any prior trademark – either registered or pending – for the same or similar goods or services shall be rejected. Four main arguments can be used to overcome such rejections:
Dissimilarity of marks – when comparing trademarks, the CTMO conducts a 'part-to-part' examination: the English part of the mark is compared to the English part, while the Chinese characters are compared to the Chinese characters. The applicant may thus seek to convince the TRAB examiner that the likelihood of confusion is low.
Dissimilarity of designated goods or services – given that the TRAB applies similar examination criteria to the CTMO, this argument is unlikely to succeed.
Cancellation for non-use – if the cited mark has been registered for over three years, it may be vulnerable to cancellation for non-use.
Opposition or invalidation application – if the cited mark was filed in bad faith or if the applicant of the rejected mark enjoyed any prior rights before the filing date of the cited mark, the applicant may file an opposition or invalidation application in order to have the cited mark removed.
In addition, the applicant can seek to negotiate a coexistence agreement with the registrant of the cited mark. However, the examiner has final discretion as to whether to accept such an agreement and will take account of the degree of similarity between the marks or goods in question.
The applicant might also consider negotiating with the registrant of the cited mark to purchase the cited mark. If the cited mark is then assigned to the applicant, there will be no conflict of interest and the applied-for mark can be approved by the TRAB.
Provisional refusal for international registrations
The CTMO will issue a provisional refusal for international registrations made under the Madrid System and designating China where there are unacceptable specifications, as well as on absolute or relative grounds for refusal. Such rejections cannot be overcome through a TRAB review – the only way is to amend the specifications and then re-designate the revised registration to China, or file the national application directly before the CTMO with standard and acceptable items.
In conclusion, many strategies can be used to obtain trademark registrations in China smoothly and with a broad scope of protection. Filing applications as early as possible is always recommended.

Understanding the Chronology
As soon as the Citizenship Amendment Bill was passed in both houses of Parliament and given Presidential nod making it a law, loud murmurs started about another move- the National Register of Citizens or NRC. What is NRC and does it really create a problem together with CAA, here's what you need to know:
1. What is NRC? NRC is the National Register of Citizens. The NRC identified illegal immigrants from Assam on the Supreme Court's order. This has been a state-specific exercise to keep its ethnic uniqueness unaltered. But ever since its implementation, there has been a growing demand for its nationwide implementation. Now, many top BJP leaders including Home Minister Amit Shah have proposed that the NRC in Assam be implemented across India. It effectively suggests to bring in a legislation that will enable the government to identify infiltrators who have been living in India illegally, detain them and deport them to where they came from.
2. Who stands to lose?
The proposed Bill, which till now remains just a proposal, if implemented will target illegal immigrants in India. But Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhist, Jains and Parsis coming from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh won't be affected, if they claim they have arrived India after fleeing religious persecution. Which essentially means, if a nationwide NRC comes in as proposed, any illegal immigrant from other than Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, will be affected. And as for those three nations, people coming from there who belong to the Muslim community will also be affected as they are not included in the Citizenship Amendment Act.
3. What will happen to the affected?
As proposed, if a nationwide NRC comes in place, the affected will be detained and taken to large detention centres, as it is happening in Assam. After that, the Ministry of External Affairs will get in touch with the concerned nations. If the details of the detained are matched and accepted by the concerned nations, deportations will follow.
The Union Home Minister, asserted that there has been no discussion on a nationwide NRC process either in the Cabinet or Parliament.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Burke
Named after a 19th-century farmer and merchant who built a house overlooking Pohick Creek, Burke is an affluent community in the Washington D.C. suburbs that's home to more than 5,900 residents aged 65 and over. There are two assisted living facilities in town and an additional 30 facilities in the nearby area for those seniors who need some help with daily life. The Virginia Department of Social Services officially licenses assisted living facilities (ALFs) as residential living care or assisted living care facilities in Burke and throughout the state.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Burke
The ozone levels in Fairfax County, where Burke is located, may be a concern for seniors on certain days. The American Lung Association gives the county a grade of F for ozone pollution because the area experiences more than three days per year of high ozone levels. These days can cause serious cardiovascular and respiratory problems.
As part of the suburbs of Washington D.C., the cost of living in Burke is notoriously high. It's 68.5% higher than the national average of 100 and 54.7% higher than the Virginia state average of 133.8. This may be a concern for families looking for affordable assisted living.
Despite the high cost of living, seniors and their families in Burke get a tax break due to Virginia's friendly tax policies. Social Security income is not taxed at the state level, and income from retirement accounts is partially taxed with a deduction of $12,000 for those aged 65 and over.
Burke is considered a safe community with a violent crime rate 10.1 points below the national average of 22.7. The property crime rate is also low at 8.6 points below the national average.
Several public transportation options are available for seniors in Burke who want to get around town or visit Washington D.C. Metrobus has several routes that run through the area, and the Manassas Line of the Virginia Railway Express goes all the way to Union Station. Fares are available at a discount.
Burke has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Falls Church.
