We all know of popular CBC television programs, like the Saturday night broadcast of NHL hockey games, known as Hockey Night in Canada, The National with Peter Mansbridge, George Stroumbolulpous Tonight (formally known as The Hour) with George Stroumboulopoulos, and now the well-known Dragon's Den. The radio stations are famous for Radio1's The Current, Q with Jian Ghomeshi, This is That and Vinyl Café Stories and Radio 2's broadcast for Tempo, Shift with Tom Allen, and Radio 2 Drive.
The recommendation of a Canadian national radio broadcast network came to fruition in 1929, from a major concern of American radio influencing Canadians Meanwhile the Canadian National Railways was making a radio network to keep its passengers entertained and offer an advantage over its rival, CP. Wikipedia states, This, the CNR Radio, is the forerunner of the CBC. Graham Spry and Alan Plaunt lobbied intensely for the project on behalf of the Canadian Radio League. In 1932 the government of R.B. Bennett established the CBC's predecessor, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC).
The logo is most recognized today for the iconic broadcasting corporation, was designed by graphic artist Burton Kramer in 1974, and saw a few iterations over the years. Burton Kramer is a designer who lives and works in Toronto, Ontario and began working in the late 1950s for Will Burtin as an assistant. He's one of the designers behind the map system used at Expo 67. Kramer also taught as a part-time faculty for the Ontario College of Art and Design for 21 years. Today he's still active in the design community, showcasing his talent as an artist in galleries across Canada and abroad.
Burton Kramer has been a leading designer, educator and painter in Canada for over half a century. Check out this interview of the leading Canadian designer, educator and painter.

The original CBC logo was designed by École des Beaux Arts student Hortense Binette and used between 1940 to 1958. It featured a map of Canada with CBC written across, and a thunderbolt in a V shape to symbolize broadcasting. Under the thunderbolt Radio Canada can be read. All of these elements were surrounded by a circular stroke outline.
In 1958, artist Jean Paul Boileau designed a new identity to mark the end of network programs. Radio Canada CBC was overlaid in a map of Canada.
In 1966, a new logo was designed for The Canadian Broadcast Corporation known as the "butterfly" logo by Hubert Tison. It was used to symbolise the company's transition from black and white to colour tv and was used until all programs switched to colour.
The well known CBC logo is internally known as "the gem". The gem symbol represents the logo kaleidoscopically morphing into its form while radiating outward from the center of the screen on a blue background, which was to mark the explosion of colour television on the network. The center object is of the letter C, which stands for Canada, and the radiating elements of the C represent broadcasting. Neat huh?
The logo saw many changes since 1974 that simplified it. The logo was updated to a one colour version and was introduced on January 1, 1986. The logo saw additional changes in 1986, with a dark blue symbol on a white background, or white symbol on dark blue background.
1992 marked the iconic identity's latest and most simplistic update of Kramer's design, simplifying the radiant elements which surround a solid circle, instead of the letter C. The colour scheme also changed from blue to red, and will sometimes appear in white on a coloured or textured background.
CBC is celebrating it's 76th Anniversary this November and last year for the 75th Anniversary CBC held a survey asking cbc.com viewers to vote on their favourite version of the logo. The winner with 33.97% (259 votes) was the 1970's version and the current version was runner-up with 19.44% (126 votes).
Thanks for exploring the iconic identity of the CBC logo with us. Together, we've had a deeper insight into the creation and history of The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, seen the stages of evolution the logo took since 1940 through various identity element changes and enhancements, plus a quick overview of the brand, slogans and we learned who were the designers that created this iconic identity.

So… that "Butterfly" CBC logo is over THREE HUNDRED YEARS OLD?!?!
Take a look at your caption immediately below the butterfly on your "actuallywecreate" site.
It says "CBC logo used during 1699-1974".
Really. Sixteen ninety nine… to nineteen seventy four. Born shortly after the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 in Britain!!
Subtracting 1699 from 2014, I get a time span of 315 years!! I know the CBC gets teased for being a bit of a fossil occasionally, but THAT is ridiculous!
Was nobody proofing that page before it got posted?
Wow! What fantastic editing eyes you have. Thanks for the great laugh with your historical timeline.
Having known several people who worked for the CBC during 70s and 80s, I have more than once heard their most recent iterations of the "radiating" logo design referred to as "the exploding pizza". It seemed to be a CBC inside joke.
Any follow-up ever heard on that?
Nothing yet! Keep us posted if you hear something.
My Dad worked for The Mother Corp for a lot of years. The radio was always on in the kitchen. And it has almost always been on in my adult life. I'm smart because of the CBC. It's been my University. Thanks for all the years of programming.

Regionalism in India | Essay | PDF Download
Regionalism is the practice of different systems of administration and economical, cultural and political affiliation instead off a centralized system which is followed by everyone in the country.
Now region is a fixed or a classified area. But the concept of regions is dynamic and is subject to change according to people's interests. It is elastic in government. This might be on the basis of different parameters taken into consideration.
Regionalism is a good thing when kept at competitive and healthy levels. Like, for e.g., if some regions are competing with each other on the basis of goal achievement; it can actually benefit them. Healthy competition goes a long way in the development of these regions.
But the problem arises when issues of regionalism goes out of hand and take a nasty turn. When a region wants to develop even on the cost of other regions, it is seen that the problems of regionalism sprouts up even more.
Regionalism is bound to be practiced in a country like India. India has a plethora of religious groups, castes and people from different backgrounds. India's cultural diversity is its largest asset. But some people have started terming it as a liability.
This is because they can't seem to accept other's ideologies and viewpoints. India is bound to have regionalism to some extent. Because different mindsets will come forward for their own benefit and voice their opinions. So for that purpose many regional parties and interest groups have come up in the previous years.
They aim to safeguard the interests of their people. But then people begin attacking each other's sentiments. And the real reason for which the groups were ideally formed takes a backseat.
It is obvious that one should fight for his own rights to keep his viewpoints forward. But belittling other communities and other interest groups is wrong.
Regionalism is a strong indicator of national, regional and individual identity as well. But when the national identity takes a backseat and interests for the regions takes over minds, it becomes a major problem for the country.
Be loyal but show your loyalty towards the nation also. Because our country gives us everything we actually have. Without a national identity we can't have a regional identity. As a citizen of the country one should think about upliftment of all instead of himself.
It also happens that they want all the benefits for themselves. They don't want to consider the impact of their actions on other people. People there demand autonomy in administration. Autonomy in administration is a good sign as then the government will have to take care of less problems.
But they demand freedom more than the system can give them. Because their needs to be a uniform centralized structure. This structure should be able to manage the entire country as one unit. That system should be above these autonomous units. This is necessary to coordinate the functioning of all the regions. This also entails seeing that no region is left behind in the rat race of development.
Regionalism creates a sense of hostility among the people towards other religious groups. They don't let the people settle in their regions. Also they do not entertain them for any other purposes other than their own selfish interest. Regionalism also indicates some very strong changes in the country.
This is generally seen when two or more regions come together to help the people of their own area. This way they maintain their own regional identity. But they also come together for a common cause to fight against. They cooperate with each other for the goals to be achieved. But still we notice that there is some tension felt between them.
Many causes trigger the feeling of regionalism. These causes can be as trivial as historical reasons or as major as economical, political, geographical and administrative reasons.
If we take historical reasons, we see that some regions were more developed than others. Major centers of trade and commerce were more developed than the other regions. Some of the prominent names are Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Surat. But regions like Bihar, UP were left behind in this race.
A look at economical reasons tells us that the more resources and funds a region is exposed to, the more developed it is. This creates a sense of inferiority complex among the less developed regions. On geographical basis we see that the people of Nagaland are more excluded from the country.
This is due to their location. They feel excluded from the rest of India. And this created cultural hostility in their hearts. Thus, we should not work in disputes which appear on surface time-to-time. But actually we should use our brains to ponder over the roots from where these problems emerge.
Regionalism to a certain extent is okay but when it goes out of hand, it undermines the unity of nation as a one. It divides the country inwardly and increases tension and animosity among the areas. Our country was divided into states to ensure efficient administration.
It's very difficult to administer such a large landmass. India has so many people from different backgrounds. So, the state, were created to ensure smooth running of the country's administration. But the states are now being used to destroy the country's unity.
We have often heard the quote 'Unity in diversity'. It is especially applicable to a country like India. It is heartening to see that when a disaster strikes any place in our country, the complete country comes forward to help them. But matters other than that of national emergency are dealt with hostility towards other regions concerns.
Also, people of that particular area repose their faith in regional groups. They feel that their interests will be better represented by regional vested interests.
But their leaders misuse the faith reposed in them for their own interests. Regionalism thus is healthy for the society but if it is prolonged to a larger extent, it becomes a threat to the well being of a society. This is because of the narrow mindsets who play this game to meet their own needs and wants.

Global Manager: Self-actualize
Central figure of our era is the corporate manager and this workshop aims to elaborate on some of his/her self-actualize understanding and managing responsibilities. Do we need, for example, to address Adam Smith's essence of happiness (1760, a man who in health, who is out of debt, and has a clear conscience and/or being loved and being lovely?) In this panel we aim further than the definitional development of the term by moving to offer specific concepts that assist the managerial self-actualization. Therefore, each letter starts a relevant concept. Most of them are "Classics" (Abraham Maslow (1908-1970, pyramid of needs: Physiological, Safety, Love/belonging, Esteem, Self-actualization), specifically, SMILE, CREATE, CARE, HONOR, EXCEL, ACTUALIZE, ADAPT, whereas the rest capitalize on "Meta-values" (Larry Mullins 2009) like RESPECT, HELP, DREAM, DARE.

Business Intelligence in multinational companies: The present and the - not so far - future
During the last thirty years, business intelligence has an increasingly important role in business life. It contributes by collecting and analyzing data from both internal and external sources, sharing information and extracting reports, which help managers to take the best possible decisions. Business Intelligence is technology-driven and involves a variety of tools and methodologies used. It is also a dynamic procedure that varies among firms form different countries or in different industries. Hence, in order to face this complexity, we should capitalize on the deep knowledge of different aspects and trends of business intelligence. This paper aims to demonstrate differences between current practices and future trends. Insurance, technology and services industries have the highest penetration of business intelligence functions. At the same time, according to surveys, data quality management, data discovery and self-service business intelligence are the most remarkable trends of business intelligence experts. It is also believed that concerning the future, business intelligence and business analytics will be combined within the same platform in order to have more accurate and effective strategies. Finally, as the main objective of firms, which use business intelligence tools, is to improve their revenues, we can understand the high importance of such tools in, especially, multinational firms. These topics will be covered by the current paper which will also act as a review paper that connects business intelligence and multinational company.

The Value of Business Intelligence Systems within the Corporate Governance Values Mechanism
The era of the new technology gained entrance in all aspects of the corporateenvironment and had a valuable contribution to the higher level of the corporate administrative mechanism. Corporate global context is more complex and needs intelligent solutions to improve the performance of the governing body for the control and direction of the corporate mechanism. By this meaning, corporate governance systems expect business intelligence systems to be a valuable resource in the decision-making process. The economic value of the information that business intelligence systems are providing, will bring utility to the performance of the corporate governance mechanism, by reducing information asymmetry on agency problems and by enhancing transparency and security. Corporate transparency, security and information disclosure are the Corporate Values that are nowadays embedded to a corporate governance network between directors and shareholders and stakeholders. Technological operations related to the business intelligence systems like Blockchain technology, are suggested from the International organizations such as OECD, to map the basic purposes of corporate governance against the basic properties of blockchain technology. Board efficiency is based on these performance levers that will lead modern corporations to a long-term progress and continuous transformation to achieve sustainable goals.

noting ambiguity in a limit of liability cannot "create coverage where none existed"
Summary of this case from Stacy v. Bar Plan Mut. Ins. Co.
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOPER COUNTY, THE HONORABLE MICHAEL L. MIDYETT, JUDGE.
Wally Bley, Mark D. Pfeiffer, Columbia, for Appellant. Kathy M. Wilke, Clayton, for Respondent.
RONNIE L. WHITE, Judge
This appeal arises from an action seeking a declaration that USFG, the liability insurer for the City of Boonville, is obligated to compensate appellant, Donald Martin, for the injuries he suffered as a result of the negligent conduct of Melvin Cauthon, his supervisor at the city's waste water treatment plant. The threshold question is whether Mr. Cauthon, the chief operator of the plant, is an "executive officer" within the meaning of USFG's policy. The trial court concluded that he was not. We find that the term "executive officer," as it is used in this policy, is ambiguous and could encompass a position such as Mr. Cauthon's; we, therefore, hold that Mr. Cauthon was an insured under the contract. The judgment is reversed in part, affirmed in part, and remanded.
I. Factual and Procedural Background
While working at the City of Boonville waste water treatment plant on July 5, 1988, Donald Martin was injured when a joint pipe flange assembly exploded and a portion of the assembly struck him in the head. In June 1993, after recovering $125,000 in workers' compensation, Mr. Martin filed a petition in Cooper County Circuit Court alleging that Melvin Cauthon negligently installed the joint pipe flange assembly that injured Mr. Martin. Mr. Cauthon tendered defense of the case to USFG, the city's commercial liability insurance carrier. After USFG denied coverage, Mr. Cauthon filed a motion to dismiss alleging that he was immune from suit because he was a supervisory employee. The motion was denied, and Mr. Martin and Mr. Cauthon then entered into an agreement whereby Mr. Cauthon withdrew his responsive pleadings and Mr. Martin agreed that he would not attempt to collect any judgment against Mr. Cauthon's personal assets. Mr. Martin agreed to collect judgment only against the insurance proceeds from USFG. On January 8, 1996, a default hearing was held and the trial court entered judgment against Mr. Cauthon in the sum of $800,000.
See section 537.065, RSMo 1994.
On April 11, 1996, Mr. Martin filed this declaratory judgment action against USFG, seeking a declaration that Mr. Cauthon was an insured under the policy. USFG counterclaimed. Evidence was heard, and the trial court entered judgment in favor of USFG and against Mr. Martin, ruling that he had failed to establish that Mr. Cauthon was an insured under the terms of the city's commercial general liability insurance policy. Specifically, the court concluded that Mr. Cauthon's duties as chief operator of the plant did not qualify him as an "executive officer" under the policy.
II. "Executive Officer"
Under the commercial general liability policy at issue here, an "executive officer" is an insured while acting in the scope of his duties as an officer, while "employees other than executive officers" are not insureds for injuries caused to co-workers:
1. If you are designated in the declarations as . . . an organization other than a partnership or joint venture, you are insured. Your executive officers and directors are insureds, but only with respect to their duties as your officers or directors. Your stockholders are also insureds, but only with respect to their liability as stockholders.
2. Each of the following is also an insured:
A. Your employees other than your executive officers, but only for acts within the scope of their employment by you. However, none of these employees is an insured for (1) `bodily injury' or `personal injury' to you or to a co-employee while in the course of his or her employment.
The phrase "executive officer" is not defined in the policy, and the parties agree that the phrase has not been defined in previous Missouri caselaw. Mr. Martin contends that an executive officer is one "who actively participate[s] in the control, supervision and management" of an enterprise, or that the phrase is ambiguous. At trial, Mr. Martin presented evidence showing that, as chief operator of the plant, Mr. Cauthon was responsible for supervising from two to five employees and that he had input into the hiring and firing of these subordinates but was not ultimately responsible for such decisions. The evidence also showed that Mr. Cauthon was responsible for preparing a budget for the plant, which was submitted to his superior, the Director of Public Works, who submitted the budget to the city council for final approval. Mr. Cauthon also had discretionary spending authority up to $150.00, but to exceed that limit Mr. Cauthon needed permission from the Director of Public Works and the City Administrator. USFG argues that the term is unambiguous and that the evidence presented is sufficient to demonstrate that Mr. Cauthon was not an executive officer.
In a bench-tried case, the judgment of the trial court will be affirmed "unless there is no substantial evidence to support it, unless it is against the weight of the evidence, unless it erroneously declares the law, or unless it erroneously applies the law." Whether an insurance policy is ambiguous is a question of law. "An ambiguity exists when there is duplicity, indistinctness, or uncertainty in the meaning of the language in the policy. Language is ambiguous if it is reasonably open to different constructions." "When policy language is ambiguous, it must be construed against the insurer." "When interpreting the language of an insurance policy, this Court gives a term its ordinary meaning, unless it plainly appears that a technical meaning was intended. The ordinary meaning of a term is the meaning that the average layperson would reasonably understand." "To determine the ordinary meaning of a term, this Court consults standard English language dictionaries."

Gulf Ins. Co. v. Noble Broadcasting, 936 S.W.2d 810, 813 (Mo. banc 1997).
Farmland Industries, Inc. v. Republic Ins. Co., 941 S.W.2d 505, 508 (Mo. banc 1997).
Dictionary definitions offer little assistance in defining what "executive officer" means. Webster's Third New International Dictionary defines "executive officer" as the second in command in a military unit, a definition that is inapplicable here. An "officer" is "one who holds an office: one who is appointed or elected to serve in a position of trust, authority, or command . . . ." The adjective "executive" has several meanings possibly appropriate here: "relating to execution or carrying into effect"; "qualified for, concerned with, or relating to the execution of the laws or the conduct of public and national affairs"; "active, effectual, or skillful in managing, directing, or accomplishing." Thus, the ordinary meaning of "executive officer" (in a commercial context) would appear to be one who holds a position of trust or authority related to the active management or direction of some task. This sense is possibly best captured in the definition of the noun "executive," which means "one who holds a position of administrative or managerial responsibility in a business or other organization" and is a synonym for "officer."
Webster's Third New International Dictionary 794 (1966).
Id. at 1567.
Legal authorities have not proved more successful in settling on a definition of "executive officer." Black's Law Dictionary defines "executive officer" as:
An officer of the executive department of government; one in whom resides the power to execute the laws; one whose duties are to cause the laws to be executed and obeyed. Officers who are neither judicial nor legislative are executive officers. One who assumes command or control and directs course of business, or some part thereof, and who outlines duties and directs work of subordinate employees. President and vice president of corporation are executive officers.
Black's Law Dictionary 569 (6th ed. 1990) (internal citations omitted).
The Minnesota Supreme Court found the term "patently ambiguous" in the context of a municipality, as opposed to a corporation. Analogizing to the corporate context, the Holm court adopted a definition including as executive officers: "a city's mayor or manager, councilmen, administrative board members, and department heads, while excluding employees whose duties are largely ministerial." The Holm Court also recognized, however, that the plain meaning of "executive officer" in a governmental context would be any officer of the executive branch of the municipality. Even in the corporate context, courts have found the phrase to be inherently ambiguous. Most telling, perhaps, is the fact that USFG's brief itself does not provide a definition of what USFG believes the words "executive officer" mean. We conclude that the phrase "executive officer," at least as applied to a municipality, is ambiguous and that it is reasonably susceptible to the construction given it by Mr. Martin. The evidence shows that the chief operator of the waste water treatment plant actively participated in the control, supervision, and management of the plant; Mr. Cauthon was, therefore, an executive officer of the city and an insured under the contract.
Holm v. Mutual Serv. Cas. Co., 261 N.W.2d 598, 600 (Minn. 1977).
Id. at 602; see also Bouis v. Employers Liab. Assurance Corp., 160 So.2d 36 (La. Ct. App. 1963) (holding chief of police an executive officer because a member of the executive branch and an officer).
See e.g., Young v. New Hampshire Indemnity Co. 120 N.H. 882, 424 A.2d 205 (1980) and the cases cited therein.
As noted above, executive officers are insureds under the policy only with respect to their "duties as officers." USFG argues, and the trial court agreed, that the conduct complained of in Mr. Martin's petition, the installation of a pipe, was not managerial or administrative in character and, therefore, not within the scope of his duties as an officer. While USFG does not contest that Mr. Cauthon's actions in installing the pipe were within his job responsibilities as chief operator, USFG argues that "duties as officers" include only those portions of an officer's position that are managerial in character. Mr. Martin argues that all job responsibilities performed by executive officers are included in their duties as officers, whether or not the character of the particular act at issue was managerial. Again, the insurance policy on this point is ambiguous, at best, and the Court is bound to construe it against the insurer and in favor of coverage. Melvin Cauthon was an "executive officer" of Boonville, and because he was performing his duties as such when his allegedly negligent conduct occurred, he was an insured under the city's commercial liability insurance policy with USFG. The trial court misapplied the law in failing to so declare, and its judgment is accordingly reversed.
III. Amount of Coverage
Mr. Martin also assigns error to the trial court's declaration that the limit of coverage under the policy in this case was $100,000. The policy at issue here is a standard form commercial liability policy, which limits recovery to $800,000 per occurrence. However, the policy also contains an amendatory "Governmental Subdivision" endorsement, which modifies the standard form contract and provides that bodily injury recovery is limited to $100,000 per person.
Mr. Martin first argues that the only evidence submitted regarding the terms of the subject insurance contract, including the amount of coverage therein, was plaintiff's Exhibit 4, a copy of the insurance contract, not including the amendatory endorsement, which apparently had been provided by defense counsel to plaintiff's counsel. Mr. Martin argues that because USFG failed to object to the admission of Exhibit 4, it has waived any allegation that the contract submitted was not complete and must be held to the terms of that exhibit. This argument is not persuasive because failure to object to this exhibit does not concede that Exhibit 4 constitutes the insurance contract in its entirety. In fact, Mr. Martin simultaneously submitted the amendatory endorsement that USFG argues is part of the contract into evidence as Exhibit 7 when Exhibit 4 was admitted. USFG did not waive its claim that the contract submitted by Mr. Martin was incomplete merely by failing to object to the contract at the time it was submitted, since the remainder of the contract was simultaneously offered.
Mr. Martin next argues that the endorsement (labeled CL/CG 25 03 10 87) is not a part of the policy, since it is not referred to in the declaration sheet. He argues that while endorsement CG2503 is referenced on the declaration sheet, this reference does not follow the method of reference to other amendments and, therefore, should not be construed to refer to amendatory endorsement CL/CG 25 03 10 87.
Appellant agrees that many of the references omitted the final four digits that signified the date of the amendment's incorporation into the contract, but argues that the proper reference to CL/CG 25 03 10 87 in the declaration sheet under such a system would be CL/CG 2503. This argument is without merit. Where the agreement of the parties is evidenced by several documents that refer to each other, are closely related, and constitute one complicated interdependent transaction, the meaning of those documents must be gleaned from the entire transaction and not simply from isolated portions of a single document. Further, while it does not necessarily follow that instruments made at the same time and relating to the same subject constitute a single contract, such a determination should be made in light of the intention of the parties and with regard to the realities of the situation. When an entity such as the City of Boonville purchases a general commercial liability policy, a standard policy is sent that includes many different forms, sections, and endorsements. This type of contract structure is necessary to conform a general-purpose contract to the specific needs of various insureds. The policy is by necessity assembled in such a way; one must, therefore, look to the included amendments and endorsements to construe the meaning of the policy as a whole. Furthermore, the Court prefers a contract construction that gives meaning to all provisions of an instrument to a construction that leaves a portion of the writing useless and inexplicable. While USFG's reference to CL/CG 25 03 10 87 could have been more clear, its inclusion in the insurance contract received by the city demands that its terms be included in the contract as specified.
Central City Ltd. Partnership v. United Postal Sav. Ass'n., 903 S.W.2d 179, 182-83 (Mo. App. 1995).
Greenberg v. Dowdy, 930 S.W.2d 512, 514 (Mo. App. 1996).
Tri-State Gas Co. v. Kansas City Southern Ry. Co., 484 S.W.2d 252, 254 (Mo. 1972).
Harris v. Union Elec. Co., 622 S.W.2d 239, 248 (Mo. App. 1981); see also Harnden v. Continental Ins. Co., 612 S.W.2d 392, 394 (Mo. App. 1981).
Mr. Martin next maintains that the endorsement is ambiguous because it is subtitled "Governmental Subdivisions." Specifically, Mr. Martin argues that because Mr. Cauthon is not himself a governmental subdivision, the endorsement is ambiguous and should be interpreted as inapplicable in this case. This argument is frivolous. The endorsement clearly and unambiguously states that $100,000 is "the most [USFG] will pay for each person . . . because of `bodily injury' sustained by one person as the result of any one `occurrence.'" The limit is not premised, as Mr. Martin suggests, on the alleged tortfeasor being a governmental subdivision.
Mr. Martin contends that if the endorsement were applicable in all instances of bodily injury under this contract, then USFG would never have to pay a claim for the full policy limit of $800,000. This is simply not the case. The limits of this policy are written to provide coverage up to the limits contained within section 537.610, RSMo 1986, and distinguish between a per person limit and a per occurrence limit. Thus, if an accident occurs in which two people were injured, then the policy limits would provide recovery in the amount of $100,000 per person or $200,000. If eight people are injured, the limits would be $100,000 per person or $800,000 in aggregate. If twenty people are injured in a single accident, the per occurrence limit would limit recovery to $800,000.
This section provided a maximum amount of liability insurance that a political subdivision in Missouri may purchase. At the time of the accident, the City of Boonville was prevented by this statute from purchasing more coverage than $100,000 per person and $800,000 in the aggregate per occurrence. The statute also provided that the State's waiver of governmental immunity for such actions does not exceed these limits.
Finally, Mr. Martin argues that because USFG failed to mention the $100,000 per person endorsement in its denial of coverage letter to Mr. Cauthon, the company is estopped from asserting it in this proceeding. While estoppel may operate to bar a defense to a claim of coverage, it does not create coverage where none existed under the policy in the first place. The coverage provided by USFG's policy is limited to $100,000 per person for bodily injury. The trial court properly so declared, and its judgment on this point is affirmed.
Great West Cas. Co. v. Wenger, 748 S.W.2d 926, 928-29 (Mo. App. 1988).
Our resolution of the above points renders Appellant's remaining points on appeal moot. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with directions to enter judgment declaring that Melvin Cauthon was an insured under the policy at issue here, and for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
All concur.

Beatem History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The Beatem family name comes from a place named by the Viking settlers who arrived in the shores of Scotland in the Middle Ages. The Beatem name comes from someone having lived in Beetham in Cumbria. This place name is thought to come from the Old Norse "beth," meaning "embankment." [1] The parish was recorded as Biedum in the Domesday Book and at that time in Yorkshire and was land held by Roger de Poitou. [2] More recently, the parish had a population of 1,724 in the 2001 census. Interestingly, "in digging a grave near one of the pillars in the nave of the Church [of Beetham], in Aug. 1834, upwards of 100 silver coins, chiefly of the reigns of William the Conqueror and his son William Rufus, with a few of Edward the Confessor and Canute the Dane, were discovered." [3]
Early Origins of the Beatem family
The surname Beatem was first found in Cumbria at Beetham, a parish, in the union and ward of Kendal, historically in Westmorland. [3]
However, some of family were well established further south at Warton in Lancashire at early times. "Warton appears to have belonged to the lord of WoodPlumpton, by intermarriage with whose heiress the Betham family became connected with the property. The last of the Bethams was Roger, whose daughter married Sir Robert Middleton, of Leighton, in the reign of Richard III." [3]
Placita de Quo Warranto listed Richard de Betham, Norfolk, 20 Edward I (in the 20th year of King Edward I's reign.) [4]
Ralph de Betham, was a benefactor to Furness Abbey during the reign of Henry II. [5] Ralph de Bethum was listed in the Assize Rolls of Northumberland in 1279; Robert de Bethum, was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379; and Stephen Betham, was listed in the Feet of Fines for Essex in 1541. [6]
Important Dates for the Beatem family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Beatem research. Another 88 words (6 lines of text) covering the years 1320, 1599, 1632, 1659, 1665, 1684, 1642 and 1709 are included under the topic Early Beatem History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Beatem Spelling Variations
Contemporary spellings of ancient Scottish names often bear little resemblance to the original recorded versions. These spelling variations result from the fact that medieval scribes spelled words and names alike according to their sounds. Beatem has been spelled Betham, Beetam, Beetham, Beatam, Beatham, Beetem, Beedham and many more.
Early Notables of the Beatem family (pre 1700)
Another 33 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Beatem Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Beatem family
The colonies on the fertile east coast of North America soon had many farms run by Scots. These hardy settlers provided a backbone for the great nations of the United States and Canada that would emerge in the next centuries. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the Scottish name Beatem or a variant listed above, including: Richard Beetham who settled in Virginia in 1720.

Stop work on Uttarakhand hydel projects
August 20, 2013 - Updated 09:28 pm IST
A recent Supreme Court order has called for an independent inquiry into the projects' ecological impact.
By Himanshu Thakkar
BL21_UTTARAKHAND3 | Photo Credit: V_V_Krishnan
The August 13, 2013, order of the Supreme Court on Uttarakhand hydropower projects is possibly yet another wake-up call for the Ministry of Environment and Forests and the Uttarakhand government — the first, of course, being the disastrous floods of June 2013.
While disposing of a bunch of petitions regarding the controversial 330 MW Srinagar hydropower project on the Alaknanda river in Uttarakhand, the Supreme Court bench of Justices K. S. Radhakrishnan and Dipak Misra have given some welcome directions.
The most pertinent and interesting part of the order is under "Court's concerns", in the last section of the 72-page order.
SHODDY WORK
In these pages, the order notes that AHEC (Alternate Hydro Energy Centre at IIT, Roorkee) has not done the cumulative impact assessment it was asked to do. This is very important to note (para 46): "We have gone through the Reports and, prima facie , we are of the view that the AHEC Report has not made any in-depth study on the cumulative impact of all project components, like construction of dam, tunnels, blasting, power-house, Muck disposal, mining, deforestation etc. by the various projects in question and its consequences on Alaknanda as well as Bhagirathi river basins so also on Ganga which is a pristine river."
After this clear statement from the apex court, no one should rely on this report now on. It also exposes the poor work of this institute.
INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT
The operative part of the order has four parts:
"(1) We direct the MoEF as well as State of Uttarakhand not to grant any further environmental clearance or forest clearance for any hydroelectric power project in the State of Uttarakhand, until further orders."
This means that environment or forest clearance to any hydropower projects of any size in entire Uttarakhand cannot be given either by MoEF or by the Government of Uttarakhand till further orders.
"(2) MoEF is directed to constitute an Expert Body consisting of representatives of the State Government, WII (Wildlife Institute of India), Central Electricity Authority, Central Water Commission and other expert bodies to make a detailed study as to whether Hydroelectric Power Projects existing and under construction have contributed to the environmental degradation, if so, to what extent and also whether it has contributed to the present tragedy occurred at Uttarakhand in the month of June 2013."
This direction has two parts: one, an assessment of the cumulative impact of existing and under-construction hydropower projects on environment degradation in Uttarakhand; and two, an assessment of the extent of the impact of the projects on the Uttarakhand flood disaster.
Only an independent panel with a sufficient number of independent, non-government members can provide a credible report in this regard. The committee should be chaired by a non-government person of the stature of Madhav Gadgil. MoEF should soon constitute such an expert body and also ask the expert body to hold public hearings at various relevant places and seek wider public consultation. The mandate of the committee should be all of Uttarakhand, and not just the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda sub-basins. The committee should have credible and independent geologists, sociologists, environmentalists, river experts and disaster management experts.
"(3) MoEF is directed to examine, as noticed by WII in its report, as to whether the proposed 24 projects are causing significant impact on the biodiversity of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi River basins."
It was the MoEF that had asked WII to submit a report on the cumulative impact of hydropower projects in the Upper Ganga basin in Uttarakhand on aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. There is no reason for the MoEF to reject the clear recommendation of the WII report that the 24 projects listed by it should be dropped. The clearances given to projects such as the 300 MW Alaknanda Badrinath HEP of GMR should be suspended immediately, keeping this direction in mind.
"(4) The Disaster Management Authority, Uttarakhand would submit a Report to this Court as to whether they had any Disaster Management Plan in place in the State of Uttarakhand and how effective that plan was for combating the present unprecedented tragedy at Uttarakhand."
This direction should have also been for the National Disaster Management Authority, since the preparation of a proper State disaster management plan and the setting up of the machinery for its implementation is also a mandate of the NDMA. This is particularly important in view of the failure of the NDMA as well, noted in the CAG report of March 2013. In view of para 52 of the order, — "Reports would be submitted within a period of three months. Communicate the order to the Central and State Disaster Management Authority, Uttarakhand" — it is implied that the NDMA is also to submit a report.
Welcome orders
These orders are welcome in view of the fact that hydropower projects in Uttarakhand have certainly played a big role in increasing the likelihood and magnitude of disasters such as the recent floods.
More than twenty groups and individuals of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and other States wrote to the MoEF in July 2013 asking for suspension of hydropower projects that have prime facie played such a role, and set up an independent enquiry. The MoEF has not yet responded to this letter. The Supreme Court has done well to ask for an inquiry. This order also signifies the failure of the MoEF and the Uttarakhand government, since each of the orders shows these agencies have not performed their tasks, and not been accountable to their mandate.

Being a fashion photographer I know the importance of getting everything perfect in one frame. And I also know that it is not as easy as it looks . From model, garments, makeup, location, lighting everything has to be perfect for getting those WOW images. So this time in our photography workshop in Udaipur, we made sure that everything is perfect so that our students gets to see some amazing shots right in their own camera. On my workshop I always make sure about one thing. The number of students. We always keep the numbers low so i can focus on each and every student and answer their queries .
It is super amazing boutique hotel call "Udai kothi". It is in the Udaipur old city and has amazing heritage frames all around in the hotel as well as outside. This hotel was my choice because it is a boutique hotel so we have less disturbance.
We were using something very professional and the most high end lighting solution. The PROFOTO systems. Srishti Digilife guys were generous enough to send us the bunch of profoto goodies for our workshop . In this workshop we used following equipments.
We were literally blessed with this amazing model SARA OSMANOVA from KAD MODELS . She was really good with her posing and her professional skills. She also behaved as friend with everybody even after the workshop . So my decision about the model was perfect for this workshop.
Darshan Shan & Sandy Patel from www.cineweddings.in are really good at what they do. Their professional cinematography and editing skills helped us document the entire event so nicely .
I should not forget mentioning my first assistant Krutarth Pathak who has been the guy who helped me during everything. From bookings to managing the entire workshop he was there . So thanks so much for being such amazing team guys .
I do not really have any words for this girl "ANMOL RAVAL" . She has skills like no one has in Ahmedabad or I would say in India. Not talking about only makeup , well she is better then everybody in the city for sure when it comes to makeup , but she also does amazing styling job . The entire looks in the photography workshop we did in Udaipur , has been planned and managed by her only . When we are working she is a super professional makeup artist and when we all are having fun , she is priceless friend so thanks Anmol Raval for being so nice and it is really a pleasure having such personality onboard for our workshops.

Q: swiprolog map false to zero and true to one How can i map in swi-prolog true and false to 1's and 0's respectively?
i need to evaluate ones and zeroes like true and falses (like in truth tables).
i am having some difficulties since whenever i try to use 1 as logical value swi-prolog dosent take it kindly and returns erros.
I would like to try something like this
0 :- false.
1 :- true.

and when i query my logical "and" operation, it should return logical and operation applied to both values.
? my_and_operation(1, 0).
false

? my_and_operation(1, 1).
true

A: Simple way to do what you need is just determine some isTrue/1 and isFalse/1 predicates.
isTrue( 1 ).
isFalse( 0 ).

booleanAnd( X, Y ) :-
    isTrue( X ),
    isTrue( Y ).

Usage.
?- booleanAnd( 1, 0 ).
false.

?- booleanAnd( 1, 1 ).
true.

A: Alternatively you could do something like :
map(1, true).
map(0, false).

boolAnd(X, Y) :-
    maplist(map, [X, Y], [A, B]),
    (A, B).

boolOr(X, Y) :-
    maplist(map, [X, Y], [A, B]),
    (A; B).

A: The simpler way:
my_and_operation(X, Y) :-
 X == 1, Y == 1.

A: The really simple solution:
my_and_operation(1, 1).

Dis/inhibition: I finished my proofreading on Tuesday and uploaded the manuscript to Lulu on Wednesday. Funny how seeing the novel in something that resembles "published" form suddenly makes you notice all sorts of flaws in your word choice, font choice, etc, even though I spent an entire day prepping it for Trade Paperback layout in Word before uploading it. I am studying the general format of some books I think are well laid out before finalizing the manuscript and moving on to the cover layouts.
New story: Chapter 7 continues to be a challenge, but I'm still shooting for the 15th to finish it. I have been tackling each chapter of this new story in "layers." I start with a broad outline (a few sentences) of what will happen in the chapter, then I write the first layer, which is the dialogue. Dialogue is the easiest thing for me to write, and tackling it first helps me transform an intuitive idea of what happens in the chapter into the beginnings of an actual narrative. Dialogue, for me is like the "back bone" of a story.
The next layer is blocking, including action, facial expressions, and where the characters are in physical space. Next, I add in descriptive material–the details in what the setting and characters look, smell, or sound like. The final layer is introspection. I generally already have a good idea of what characters are thinking as write the dialogue and action, but I don't include it until I have the "what you'd see/hear if this was on TV" part done first.
That's my usual process, but I must admit, it hasn't really worked for me this time. As I was writing the dialogue and blocking, I kept being dissatisfied with it, and realized I needed to get in the character's heads simultaneously. Which makes sense, I guess, I still don't know the characters that well, and as I enter the crucial middle chapters of the story, I need to know how their inner worlds are changing.
So for this chapter, I am doing layering of a different kind. I have three point of view characters, four characters total, and I am layering in each character one at a time. The other characters are still there, but they are vaguely written as I concentrate on just the one character's actions, words, and thoughts. I may have to go back and change that up a bit once I layer in the next character's details, but that's art for you.
This story is proving very challenging to construct, which makes me wonder how I'm going to pound out 50,000 words next month without having to stop and think and plan for five days at a stretch between writing bouts.
Dis/inhibition: I decided I just wanted this final proofreading over, so I set a goal of doing one chapter a day (and twice on Sundays!), and today I'm on chapter 40 out of 43. So go, me. Still on the fifth character illustration, though. Those I just get picky about, lol.
New story: I started to make good progress on chapter 7 after spending some extra time on figuring out mythology and backstory, then I hit another snag. My old novel, Dis/inhibition took place in a fictional town quite a bit like my home town, but not actually my home town. I prefer fictional settings, because if you need a particular location, you just invent it. My new story takes place in San Francisco, and while there's a bit of play possible, if you go naming actual streets and intersections and then claim there's a building/bridge/park there, or that a building/bridge/park was there a century ago, you can't do anything too wildly untrue.
Well, I suppose you could, but the further from reality you are, the more you are writing about alterno!San Francisco rather than real San Francisco. And I always had the impression that one of the tools of urban fantasy was to use the accuracy about the real world settings to make the fantasy elements seem more compelling, more as if they could be true as well. And I don't want to veer from that, not if I don't have to. So I am having to step back once again and think through every setting I use–do I need it in the story? Really need it? Do I need it to be there?

Belfast: Another Review
George Clark
Going into Belfast I had heard mixed things, some of you loved it while others, well, less so. With all the Oscar buzz around it I was scared I'd feel underwhelmed by it and thus, when I sat down to watch it, there was a certain level of skepticism at first…however as the film progressed and the story and characters grew on me, it's one I turned out to really enjoy!
Kenneth Branagh delivers his most personal film to date. Sure, it may feel somewhat familiar at times but it has so much heart I was ultimately left quite charmed by it. In addition, being shot in crisp digital black and white (with the odd exception) was stunning, making it not only look beautiful but also stand out to me for being a piece of history I knew very little about.
Need to say there are a few unfortunate problems with Belfast. The score by Van Morrison felt out of place, never truly gelling completely with various sequences, but it's the light tone that seems to be most out of place within. Granted it's told from the point of a child but it tells a story in a time Ireland was in desperate need of balance and thus, while the opening works extremely well, it's never quite replicated throughout.
Nevertheless, it's crowd pleasing nature will surely be noticed, for better or for worse, this award season. For me, the strong performances from the whole cast, Jamie Dornan, Ciarán Hinds, Caitriona Balfe, Jude Hill and Judi Dench are all terrific, is what made Belfast what it is and while yes, there are problems within, it feels like a nice tribute to home and family that will surely resonate with many worldwide.
Based on the Isle of Portland in the UK, George studies Business, Finance, Economics and Marketing whilst also writing review for various sites on the side.

The list of what's good and what's new for the week of Nov. 25, 2018.
Jibade Khalil Huffman video "First Person Shooter" is complex visual collage that frustrates conventional narrative expectations with layers stock digital animation, video shot by the artist, a libretto-like text that inflects the video's barrage of stimuli, and multichannel audio. Stock images and digital animation combine with Huffman's footage of actors who can't help but fall asleep mid-sentence. "First Person Shooter," was nominated by Ballroom Marfa for the 2018 season of Artists' Film International, an international collaboration organized by Whitechapel Gallery, London. Huffman's video is complemented by newly-commissioned sculpture and paintings in Ballroom's galleries.
With nearly 100 artworks that connect Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, and the U.S., "Pop América" is presents a hemispheric vision of Pop art, showing how Latino/a and Latin American Pop artists worked at the same time as their counterparts in the United States and Europe.
Recipient of Lambda Literary Awards, poet, novelist, public talker and art journalist Eileen Myles reads from "Evolution," her new collection of poetry, again upending the vernacular.
John Quigley was commissioned by Greenpeace to create an installation that would highlight the effects of the rapid melting of sea ice in the Arctic. Quigley used copper strips to lay the outlines of Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man on a large ice floe. Quigley talks about this and other projects, and discuss the efficacy of activist art production.
Jack Risley, artist and chair of UT's Department of Art and Art History, and Jessica Stockholder — whose solo exhibit "Relational Aesthetics" is on view at the Contemporary — simultaneously began the graduate program at the Yale School of Art. For this talk, Risley will discuss his own design-oriented sculpture practice— which shares Stockholder's incorporation of everyday objects, experimentations with presentation, and liberal use of color — and his longstanding interest in Stockholder's work.
The Austin-based percussion ensemble Line Upon Line returns to its roots with a program celebrating the multifaceted legacy of John Cage, including "The City Wears A Slouch Hat," a radio play performed by the Rude Mechs.
America is a nation built by immigrants and their experiences of bravery, resilience, and strength are stories often untold. Now, from the improv specialists at the Institution Theater, "Immigrants: The Musical!" is a chance for these invaluable stories to be told through an improvised hip-hop musical inspired "Hamilton." Each week, a new monologist will narrate their immigrant experience, each from a different background: Mexico, Russia, Vietnam, El Salvador, and more.
8 p.m. Fridays through Dec. 21. Institution Theater, 3708 Woodbury Dr.

A summery welcome to you all... from my colourful studio of flower love!
"Where do I begin...to tell the story of how great the time has been, the sweet flower story that always brings me to my knees....where do I start?"
I begin with you this time. Sitting here at my desk I closed my eyes and I thought about you. I tried to imagine how you feel today, what place you are in in your heart and mind, us all being so close to the end of another year. I wonder if you are filled with hope and joy, having achieved your goals and created a sense of financial freedom or if you are starting to anxiously chew at the tether of another hard years end... perhaps in fear of the coming festive season not yet where you wish to be with money and your spiritual/soul walk.
How has your year been? How have you been? I see most of you in a FLOWERSCAPE for 45minutes or an hour and a half or some of you meet me in SCHOOL for 3-4 hours and we meet in colorful inspiration and playtime in a sense of deep soulful reflections. The gifts that are flowers hold us gently for this time and release us for the moment from the grip of reality and the harshness of ego and society. Then you leave me and we all return to the routine and the rush, to our lives. Have you managed to sift through the time you are given with each blessed day and found your me-space. Are you ready or are you not FOR THE GLORIOUS SUMMERTIME HOLIDAY?
I have rattled around in my mind-box to find things to include in OCTOBER'S news that will inspire you today, that will make you smile wider if you already are...and if you find yourself low, tired, not shining your Light, I hope too that this email will flick a switch inside you in a gentle reminder that you are beautiful, perfect and deeply loved. Enjoy!
I want to know the story of your year, please share it with me. What did this year hold for you? Tell me where you find yourself now. What changed, where did you grow? How did you manage that thing that was really hard that produced a positive outcome. What did you discover about you? What beauty did you find in you or this world whether through pain or joy?
I'm collecting a collage of your stories my flower fans, friends and kindred spirits, my students, retreat-ants, spectators and soul sisters.
I will pick one story that moves me the most and this person will win 2 tickets to spectate the MASTERFLORIST COMPETITION which I am hosting at GRAND DESIGNS LIVE in MAY next year.
Send your stories to me at info@jillmanson.co.za. Closing date is 25 November 2013.
This little sweetheart design stole my heart and is the star of the last two months (and I didn't make it!). Its the story behind it and the blend of colour here that I absolutely love!
Marietjie Reffo joined the team a while back and now heads up the events side of the business. She did Module 1 to 4 with me, volunteered to help on one of our big weddings last year and as fate would have it, stayed by my side.
She pulled this gorgeous combination of colour and form out of her heart for the STANDARD BANK learners graduation ceremony last month....so we delivered 40 of these delights to the Wanderers club and lit up the place!
FLOWER SCHOOL INFO 2013 - NEW CLASSES 2014!
DATES FOR 2014 - book now!!
FLORISTRY AS A BUSINESS - WEEKNIGHT CLASSES 2014.
Due to popular demand I am now offering an extended course expanding on the design classes I have offered to date in Module 1 to 4 by including an intensive look at floristry as a business, weddings and events.
We will cover the financial side, buying selling, planning and the day to day running of a flower shop as well as how to do events in terms of the financial planning and margins as well as timing and execution. This includes weddings.
Every class will be either theory or practical and at times a combination of both.
There will be 18 sessions.
The course is open to students currently in short weekend classes 1 to 4, as you can join any session you wish by booking for that session.
Another soul story aligning to our theme is my connecting with Cindy Schutte earlier this year, which was no co-incidence. I needed an assistant really badly at the beginning of this year and the angels dropped her in. She has been outstanding filling classes, supporting students and even now completed her teacher training and is running a few classes with me! Not to mention the gentle backup at all the flower healing events and floral design demonstrations I have done this year and in general getting my back and managing my schedule! A huge affair!
Look at this girls flair! And she had never done flowers before in her life, a natural!
She pulled off this stunning event for the Feather awards in September whilst I was away in ITALY - suave sophisticated and glamorous! Well done Cindy!

The oversize bolt handle, bolt release and loading port are easy to operate with gloved hands, and the magazine capacity is<br /> 4 + 1. Trigger pulls were crisp and averaged 5½ pounds. The safety is located on the guard behind the trigger.
The stock was A-Grade Satin Walnut and capped with a rubber TSA recoil pad. Measurements were: length of pull, 143⁄8″; drop at comb, 1½"; drop at heel, adjustable from 2″ to 2½" with the included four-shim kit (which also allows for cast adjustments); and slight cast-off. Checkering on the forend and pistol grip offered a secure hold. The stock is also available in AA-Grade Satin Walnut, black synthetic, Realtree Max-5 and Mossy Oak Bottomland.
The chrome-lined 28″ barrel (also available with 26″) has a 3″ chamber, stepped vent rib and fiber-optic red-bar front sight. Flush-mounted choke tubes are notched at the ends, so you can tell which is in the barrel. Our gun came with Full, Modified and Improved Cylinder (the M and IC being approved for steel shot) plus a wrench.
For long walks in the field or out to the blind (especially when you're lugging other gear), there's nothing like a lightweight semi-auto. And when that covey of birds finally flushes or that flock of ducks sets in, the luxury of an extra shot or two is often welcome. The Franchi Affinity 3 is a sleek, well-balanced autoloader that operates on the reliable Inertia Driven system like its Benelli brethren. The 12-gauge we tested would be perfect for all-day carry and look sharp in the gun rack back at the lodge.
We tested the Affinity 3 at the range and found it to be a quick-pointing, light-kicking, clay-breaker. It had no problem cycling heavy target loads (2¾", 3 drams, 11⁄8 oz of No. 7½s) and heavy game loads (2¾", 3¼ drams, 11⁄8 oz of No. 6s) but balked at low-recoil, low-noise target loads (2¾", 2½ drams, 1 oz of No. 8s). In all fairness Franchi recommends a minimum load of 3 drams, 11⁄8 oz. With appropriate fodder, the gun cycled quickly and ejected shells with authority. Even with a weight of only 6 pounds 7.7 oz (on our postal scale), the gun was not abusive on the shoulder and surely would have been even more comfortable with the distraction of game. Price: $899 ($789 for black synthetic), with a 7-year warranty.

This week's Cotton Newsline is 3 cuts. All cuts are Keith Menchey, manager of science and environmental issues for the National Cotton Council.
According to Menchey cotton is not directly affected by the Chesapeake Bay Initiative but certainly has severe implications for what may come down the road.
Menchey says The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services estimates that EPA's proposed nutrient criteria will impose $902 million to $1.6 billion in total recurring annual expenditures and revenue reductions to Florida agriculture.
Menchey says these high levels of concerns are the reason these groups have come together to combine resources as well as expertise to deal with EPA on these various issues that eventually will affect cotton farms.

Published in 1903, As a Man Thinketh is considered among the worlds greatest self-help books. The book is a powerful reminder that all one achieves or ceases to get is due to his thought process, as thoughts alone are most powerful. Thoughts are the key to unlocking the fulfilments in life that one wants or desires. The book was also described by Allen as 'A book that will help you to help yourself, 'A pocket companion for thoughtful people, and 'A book on the power and right application of thought.
James Allen (18641912) retired from the business world to pursue a lifestyle of writing and contemplation. His books are classics in the fields of inspiration and spirituality. Although this is his most popular work, he authored several other books that deal with the power of thought including The Path of Prosperity, Eight Pillars of Prosperity and James Allens Book of Meditation for Every Day in the Year.

Q: Stored procedure to return data based on sum of 3 columns I have a stored procedure as follows:
SELECT   DiscountId
        ,CompanyId
        ,Discount1
        ,Discount2
        ,Discount3
        ,(Discount1+Discount2+Discount3) as Total
FROM PriceDiscount

This can return one or more rows.
I also need to check the aggregate of Discount1, Discount2 and Discount3. If the sum for any of the rows is greater than 0, I want to set a column isDiscounted = true and return it also.
Please help me - how can I achieve this?
I do not want to check this in the code or create another stored procedure for this. Hence wanted to return both the results from this stored procedure.

A: You can use case to calculate/set the isDiscounted column.
with x as (
SELECT DiscountId
    ,CompanyId
    ,Discount1
    ,Discount2
    ,Discount3
    ,case when (Discount1+Discount2+Discount3) > 0 then 'True'
     else 'False' end  as isDiscounted
FROM PriceDiscount)
, y as (select case when isDiscounted = 'True' then count(*) end as true_count,
               case when isDiscounted = 'False' then count(*) end as false_count
        from x group by isDiscounted)
select case when true_count > 0 then 'True'
            when falsecount > 0 and truecount = 0 then 'False' end
       as final_status
from y

Edit:
with x as (
SELECT DiscountId
    ,CompanyId
    ,Discount1
    ,Discount2
    ,Discount3
    ,case when (Discount1+Discount2+Discount3) > 0 then 'True'
     else 'False' end  as isDiscounted
FROM PriceDiscount)
, y as (select sum(case when isDiscounted = 'True' then 1 else 0 end) as true_count,
               sum(case when isDiscounted = 'False' then 1 else 0 end) as false_count
        from x)
select case when true_count > 0 then 'True'
            when false_count > 0 and true_count = 0 then 'False' end
       as final_status
from y
