Solar power reduces overhead by allowing companies to create renewable energy on-site. Using solar power offsets both electric delivery and supply charges. We can even get rid of our commercial customer's demand meters with solar power. Solar energy systems allow businesses to dodge unexpected utility rate fluctuations, cut their peak demand, and secure low energy rates.
Solar Rebates and Incentives
Government incentives cover up to 70% of the cost of a commercial solar system. New York State has some of the best incentives for solar energy systems in the country. We receive a grant from NYSERDA that lowers the cost of our client's systems and they receive tax credits for most of the remaining cost. It is imperative to act quickly, as more businesses deploy solar the incentives are scaled back.
Solar promotes a culture that can influence purchasing decisions and build new brand loyalty. This positive effect can lead to increased sales and more loyal customers. Studies are available upon request to support these claims.

Been busy with my t's and i's these past weeks as pages came flying in from Mr. Hristov. We've been cooking something special, him and I, and it's about time to serve it up. Fingers crossed we get a bite.
I'm pleased with my focus lately. For years I floated along with no particular direction, writing what came to mind and finding satisfaction in that. Then came a point when I realized that time was passing. With guidance, I began to set out a path for myself, which I believe will lead to a career in creativity. This site is among those steps. Part practice, part exposure, part fun, but entirely focused. I see the end of this path, but if I stray from it, even for a moment, I may lose sight of it forever.
Life isn't always easy. It used to be, but it wasn't nearly this meaningful. And now it's not that life is hard, but the realization of what I must accomplish and the realization that I must do it alone. Hold my own hand, hold my own feet to the fire, hold myself accountable for any more time that passes by.
So this is where it begins, I imagine. With focus. Determination. And opening myself up to any number of possibilities that worried me before. There's no time for fear, not anymore, because I simply refuse to float any longer. Here I am, and here is this site, and here is what I can do. I hope you enjoy it.
My alarm vibrates against my ankle.
I get up, have cereal, pack my lunch, kiss I. goodbye. I have to leave by 5:25, but today I was late, so I had to pedal faster. My goal is to reach work before 6, so that when I'm off before 2, I can focus on other things I have to do. Things that will help my overall goal, things that will help me succeed creatively.
Updating this site is not among those things.
Not due to idleness, but discipline.
I've been thinking about important conversations lately. Presently in my Great Big Project, a main character is having one of those Important Conversations. Once this conversation is over, the climax will unfold, and shortly after that, it will all conclude. I'm fairly certain how the story will end, and I'm equally certain that a fair amount of what I want to say will be left out.
It's a minor torment. This story has been on my mind for nearly seven years, and in that time I've thought of many details. It feels like a shame to have wasted that time, though I do understand that it wasn't all a waste. Many details have now become unnecessary, except to explain the backstory, which leaves me with ample material to work from if I ever have to write a prequel. I hope not to.
We never really know when one of these Important Conversations will happen, do we? Nobody tells you at the time, so it's not until perhaps years later when you realize the impact it had.
I'm going to be busier than usual these upcoming few months. As excited as I am, the thought that I'll have less time to work on this nearly-completed project is frustrating. I can nearly see the end. It's right there.
What is most useful when it's broken?
I scratched my head for a while as I thought it through.
It wasn't. Or at least, he said, not the answer they had. I stepped back and thought it through again. Finally, when my tea was ready and I had no more guesses, I asked for the answer.
This is my reasoning. An egg brings life into the world, which to me seems like the most useful application of anything. If it's broken, it's completely useless, except of course – as the riddle implies – if you're eating it.
Whereas a piggy bank contains money, and when it breaks, you can buy something awesome. Seriously, you can get anything you want. A broken piggy bank could even buy more food than what you'd get from eating a broken egg! Even math agrees with me!
The barrista, however, did not. And since it's his place, he gets to decide the answers to his riddles.
The correct answer is piggy bank.
Recently a friend asked me for some writing advice. Truth is I don't really have any advice of my own. Writing isn't easy, and there really aren't any specific checklists you can follow. It can take years of work to create art, and even at its end it may never be perfect. Writing is more of a commitment than a straightjacket.
I've snooped through essays and interviews of my favourite authors, and from this I've whittled down their advice down to five convenient mottos that make sense to me.
Please yourself. If you don't like what you're writing, why should anyone else?
Explore every possibility. Consider that characters have minds of their own, and they might not react to a situation exactly how you might expect. Let them surprise you.
Reveal or advance. In a story, every word is important. You want to get to the point as quickly as possible, so every single sentence should reveal a character or theme, or advance the plot. Respect the reader's time.
Kill your darlings. When an author comes up a story, it often comes along with specific ideas they want to incorporate, like a character, some dialogue, or even an entire scene. As the story develops and they don't quite make as much sense in the story, they're hard to let go. Kill them.
There are no rules. This is kind of a writing advice wildcard. Do what you want. Colour outside the lines, think outside the sphere, let your imagination loose. That's what a reader really wants.
Some time last week, I didn't sleep well. In the middle of the night, I heard a loud, loud noise that sprung me immediately to my feet. I stood beside the bed confused, adjusting to my surroundings. My girlfriend tends to sleep lightly, and yet she was undisturbed. Had there been no loud, loud noise at all? Was it the sound of my feet hitting the floor that sounded to me like thunder? Hesitantly, I returned to our bed, and eventually, once again, to sleep.
And then yesterday, after a slightly delayed flight and then a long drive, I was back in my home town. I did not sleep uninterrupted. Once again, I woke up in a similar confused way, slowly adjusting to my surroundings.
Something similar happened years and years ago. I can't imagine what similarities between then and now might be causing this unusual restlessness. At times, I worry about things like sleepwalking, even though I've never had a history of it. Never even an incident. But the thing I worry about is not knowing if perhaps there was.
Half-demolished buildings wondering when they'll eat next.
I can't understand the anger that war requires. Where does it come from? Is it fear of others? A misunderstanding of love? Are we over-compensating for some inadequacy, perhaps acting upon some systemic emotional conditioning?

accuracy of less than 0.1mm.
George Haggarty & Alan Braby were invited to test the digital calipers for use in the preparation of drawing of archaeologically derived pottery for publication. The calipers have large metric and imperial LCD displays, which can be switched at the press of a button, while pressing a hold button secures the data. The jaws have spring-loaded travel and can easily and quickly be held in place by tightening the head of a small fastening. The calipers have been constructed to a very high engineering standard, with alloy jaws and matt chrome finishing. The outside calipers have a span in excess of 239 mm. The moulded knife shaped handles are ribbed for grip and the calipers manipulated by the use of a finger trigger.
Brilliant when taking a reading and then just click hold, you can even just read it straight off the digital lcd panel.

Nice product, well designed and useful.
Exactly what was required - the digital display permitted me to record measurements accurately and efficiently. Very pleased with the results.


The variational Bayesian (VB) approach is one of the best tractable approximations to the Bayesian estimation, and it was demonstrated to perform well in many applications. However, its good performance was not fully understood theoretically. For example, VB sometimes produces a sparse solution, which is regarded as a practical advantage of VB, but such sparsity is hardly observed in the rigorous Bayesian estimation. In this paper, we focus on probabilistic PCA and give more theoretical insight into the empirical success of VB. More specifically, for the situation where the noise variance is unknown, we derive a sufficient condition for perfect recovery of the true PCA dimensionality in the large-scale limit when the size of an observed matrix goes to infinity. In our analysis, we obtain bounds for a noise variance estimator and simple closed-form solutions for other parameters, which themselves are actually very useful for better implementation of VB-PCA.

FEATURED Latest SCIENCE
Clue to The Mysterious Planet Nine
November 16, 2019 November 16, 2019 The Notitia 0 Comments Astronomy, nasa, Planet 9, planetary science, tess
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) from NASA could hold a Clue to The Mysterious Planet Nine.
In the far reaches of the Solar System there seems to be something big lurking, messing with some of the Kuiper Belt's orbits rocking past Neptune. Some astronomers think it's a planet, about five times the Earth's mass. They are calling it Planet Nine.
But it's not so easy to find this possible lurker. It would seem incredibly small and faint from here, and we don't even know where to look in the sky. Astronomers quest (and find some other really nice things in the process), but it's slow and painful work.
However, there might be another way, according to a new paper: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) from NASA. And the planet has already been observed, it is possible, and it is hidden in the TESS data.
You may think "duh, it's a planet-hunting telescope," but there are two different things to look for planets that are very far away and to look for planets that are relatively close.

TESS uses the transit approach to search for exoplanets. It looks for long duration to a particular section of the sky, looking for faint, regular starlight dips caused by planets orbiting between us and the star (known as a transit).
In the case of Planet Nine, it would be impossible to detect its transit, as it would not pass between TESS and the Sun.
And a single exposure would not reveal such a faint object as Planet Nine. The way TESS looks at sections of the sky, however, could be combined with a technique of astronomy called digital tracking.
TESS takes a lot of pictures from one field of view to reveal transit dips. Faint objects can become much clearer when you stack these images, exposing objects that would otherwise be hidden.
Since Planet Nine is a moving body, it would not automatically reveal the planet just by stacking the images. That is where you need to do some guesswork to measure the object's estimated orbit and kind of change the exposures to concentrate on your projected location-and then stack the pictures.

"We can try all possible orbits to find new objects with unknown trajectories," the researchers wrote in their paper.
Just feed the images and orbit and parallax corrections into a software program and wait for the results (TESS has a highly elliptical orbit around Earth, so the line-of-sight is moving).
It sounds like an approach to scattershot, but it could actually work. For example, the Hubble Space Telescope used digital tracking to discover a number of objects out past Neptune.
The next question is if TESS is sufficiently powerful to detect the planet. But there is also a way to test it.
Models indicated that Planet Nine has an apparent magnitude between 19 and 24 – that is, brightness as seen from Earth. Several known trans-Neptunian orbital objects within this range have apparent magnitudes -namely, Sedna (20.5 to 20.8), 2015 BP519 (21.5) and 2015 BM518 (21.6).
Clue to The Mysterious Planet Nine. (Holman et al., Research Notes of the AAS, 2019)
Also Read: The Glorious James Webb Telescope Has Been Fully Assembled
So, to solve each of these three objects the group used digital tracking… and all three showed up, clear as a crystal that was really blurry in low resolution. But it can still be identified. You can see them in the image above: Sedna, 2015 BP519 and 2015 BP518 is from the left. The photos are shown in negative to make it easier to see the objects.
Hypothetically, at these magnitudes, TESS should be able to see any object. That means it should also be able to see Planet Nine, the researchers said. It may even be in the data – just haven't found it yet.
You would have to search for all orbits that might require a lot of computation. So … Does anyone have a supercomputer of their own?
The research was published in the AAS Research Notes.

Q: proving whether a function is one-to-one/onto 1) f(n) = 2n + 1 from set of integers to set of integers
2) f(n) = 2[n/2] from set of integers to set of integers   [] is floor

Could someone demonstrate how I would prove whether these are one-to-one and/or onto?
For example, on the first one:
f(n) = 2n+1
I can look at it and try some numbers: (0,1), (1,3), (2,5)...
every A has a unique B it looks like, so it is one-to-one (injective)
it does not look like every B has at least one A because we skip 2, 4, etc. so it is not onto (surjective)
but how would i write a proof for this?

A: Tidus,
To show that a function is injective, you need to show that if two points $x$ and $y$ get mapped to the same point, i.e. $f(x)=f(y)$, then we must have $x=y$. For the first function $f(n)=2n+1$, this is quite straight forward since if we have two integers $n,m$ such that $f(n)=f(m)$, this means that $2n+1=2m+1\Rightarrow n=m$.
To show that it is surjective, we must show that for every $n$, we can find another integer $m$ such that $f(m)=n$. However, note that the set $Im(f)=\{f(n)\mid n\in \mathbb{N}\}=\{2n+1\mid n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is precisely equal to the set of odd integers. Therefore, $f$ is not onto (nothing maps to even integers).
I will leave the second function to you as an easy exercise!

A: The formal definition of one-to-one is that for any x and y, f(x) = f(y) implies that x = y. So for f(n) = 2n+1, let's suppose that for some m and n, f(m) = f(n). Then 2m+1 = 2n+1, and with a bit of algebra m = n showing that it is one-to-one.
For f(n) = 2[n/2] (where I assume [] is either a round, ceiling or floor function), if you can show that there are two values, m and n, that are distinct but produce the same value for f(), then that's enough to prove that it is not one-to-one.
For onto, you need to show that all possible values of the codomain are possible values of f, or to prove that it's not onto you need to show that there are values in the codomain that cannot be values of f. You have the right feeling for this for (a), and I would put that as something like "Suppose that f(n) is onto. Then for all x in the integers, there exists an integer n such that f(n) = x. Let x = 2. Then 2n + 1 = 2 => n = -1/2, which is not in the integers, so there is no such n. By contradiction, f(n) is not onto." For (b) I'll give you the hint that it is onto, and so the hard part will be proving so (possibly by showing that for any x in the integers you can always provide an n such that f(n) = x).

How do I find my auto insurance company?
How can I find my car insurance company?
Most consumers are on a mission to find cheap car insurance. However, you should learn how to qualify insurers before you learn how to comparison shop.
While it's important to stay within your budget when you're building an auto insurance policy, it's just as important to find an insurance company that offers quality protection and excellent customer service.
All auto insurance companies in your state offer the same coverage options, but that doesn't mean that all of the carriers are created equal.
Having a huge advertising budget and a catchy slogan doesn't mean that the company has an excellent product.
The price of your policy should be the last determinant on your list when you're making a consumer decision. Here are some tips that can help you find the best company.
Start comparison shopping right now! It's easy and FREE!
You should never do business with an auto insurance carrier that's not licensed to sell insurance products in your state.
The insurance industry is highly regulated, but the Department of Insurance that oversees carriers in your state can only assess companies that have been granted a license to sell.
While there are ways around getting a license, you should only give your business to companies that have an active license that's in good standing.
If you don't, you can't turn to the Department to file a complaint.
Not only do you have absolutely no consumer protections if the company is unlicensed, the coverage that you pay for will not satisfy your state's auto insurance law.
Looking at a rate before anything else could be one of the biggest mistakes that you can make when you're looking to find the best insurance company.
To understand why an exorbitantly low could be a bad sign, you need to understand how the industry works and what financial strength ratings are.
Auto insurance carriers set their own rating systems and file their rates for approval through the state.
The only thing that the state requires is that the rates must be fair and justified for all rating groups. Auto insurance rates are meant to be competitive.
The problem is companies set their rates too low to compete with other larger carriers. If the rates are too low, the company may not collect enough premiums to cover operational costs and claims.
You need to review the business's financial strength rating before you compare price.
Never take a company's word for it when you're looking at financial ratings.
Pull up reports through independent financial rating agencies such as A.M. Best who review financial statements and assign each company in the industry a letter grade.
At this stage of finding your insurance company, you should have a much smaller list of options than what you started with.
The next step to narrow your list down more is to assess the complaint index of each carrier left.
Official complaints are public record, and you can access reports that show you how often complaints have been filed and what the outcome was.
Once you have pulled up a carrier's complaint index through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, you can see if there are any red flags.
Every company will have at least a few complaints but look for trends in different complaint categories to avoid the sub-par insurers.
It's common knowledge that an upset customer speaks louder than a happy one. If you want to avoid carriers that offer poor service, you should see what customers have experienced in the past.
One effective way to do this is to check customer satisfaction ratings through J.D. Power & Associates, a company that surveys customers before ranking companies.
If you follow these four steps, you can find the right car insurance company.
When you have three to five companies on your list, start to take a look at pricing to see how the best companies compare.
If you want to compare pricing quickly, you can enter your information in a rate comparison tool and start comparing instantly.
Once you see how the prices stack up, you will be able to find a low-priced product from a high-class company.
Compare and contrast several companies and policies for the best coverage. Enter your zip code into our FREE tool to get started!


In this post, I am going to talk about what Action Methods are and different Action Result Types available to us in ASP.NET MVC5.
An action method gets executed in response to a user request. It takes care of processing the user input and building the response to be sent to the user. If we look at the HomeController that comes with a default MVC project, we see some action methods already created.
When we request /Home/Index, this action method is called which returns the view(Home/Index.cshtml).
Writing our own action methods is crucial to our MVC application development as we will be adding/editing our own functionality by adding/ editing these action methods. The return type of this action method is ActionResult.
In general, an Action Method does the stuff we write inside the method and then returns an instance of a type derived from ActionResult abstract base class.
Let's try to understand what ActionResult is and what are the other return types possible and their usages.
//     Represents the result of an action method.
//The context in which the result is executed.
Action methods take care of the application logic whereas ActionResults are supposed to handle framework level work such as writing to HttpResponse directly. The ExecuteResult method is called by the MVC framework to run the action result.We can override the ExecuteResult() method and write our own custom Action Result Types. Here, let's take a look at the pre-built Types which take care of most of our application needs.
This Writes the specified content directly to the response as text. We can use this for any content type. We can specify the content encoding and content type. Using this, we can give the system whatever response we want.
Returns a null or empty response. We can use it for blank page.
This is derived from the abstract class FileResult. This is used to read the file contents and then write byte array to response's output stream.
This is also derived from FileResult abstract class. This is useful when we want to read the file from a specific path. Using this we can write the file directly to the response from the specified path.
This is just an abstract base class which is used by other types for returning files to the user. It contains an abstract method WriteFile() which is overridden by the other types deriving from it. FileContentResult, FilePathResult and FileStreamResult derive from this.
This is also derived from FileResult abstract class. This is useful when we want to read the file and write a stream to the response.
This is used to send the HTTP 404 Not Found response to the client. This is derived from HttpStatusCodeResult.
This is used to return a specific HTTP Code and description to the client.
This is used to send the HTTP 401 Not Authorized response to the client. This is also derived from HttpStatusCodeResult.
This is used to render partial view to the response. This is also typically used to return response for AJAX requests. Internally, it calls its FindPartialView method to find the partial view to be rendered.
This is used to perform HTTP redirect to a specified URL. It sends response with status code 302 Object Moved. This will cause the client to issue a new request immediately to the specified URL.
This is also used to perform HTTP redirect similarly but instead of a specific URL, we just mention the route and then routing API is used to get the URL.
This is the last but most widely used Result Type. This is derived from ViewResultBase class. The FindView method is used to locate the view and the Render method is used to render the output to the response.
These different result types give us a lot of power to deal with different scenarios effectively. They are pretty simple to learn and easy to use.

a fast incremental Hash function to transform a board position into a number of a set length, quite similar to Zobrist Hashing. It was proposed by Tony Warnock and Burton Wendroff in 1988 , relying on BCH codes invented by Alexis Hocquenghem in 1959 , and independently by Raj Chandra Bose and Dwijendra Kumar Ray-Chaudhuri in 1960 . They used a BCH signature length of 81 (or more) bits to protect 16 bits from the full position string of 749 (64*12 - 2*2*8 + 4 + 8 + 1) bits, which is sufficient to avoid collisions within an 8 ply search. They stored 63 bits of the BCH signature as "lock" inside the table, and used 18 (or more) lower bits as index. Rainer Feldmann elaborates on BCH codes inside his thesis as well , and refers Elwyn Berlekamp's Algebraic Coding Theory  .
The following paper describes a method of generating the numbers for a hash table. By using error correcting codes, we ensure that positions that are close on the board are not close in the hash space. Some experiments showed that we got an improvement in collision rate compared to using a random set of numbers.
MacWilliams and Sloane's book on error correcting codes  has the glory details about the theory and programming.
Well, first explain what a hash table is... You want to spread your positions out over a large data area so you need random numbers that will distribute a Chess position over, you know, a lot of different, you know, memory maps or memory locations.
So BCH random numbers were something that some people had developed at the University of New Mexico. Those people had a Chess program. They wrote an article on it and ... I think it's three different people that developed it. Anyway, it's a coding scheme that gives the maximal distance between... Bit adjacent numbers so that you spread your positions over - more uniformly over the hash table area. They don't tend to bunch up as much that way.
So, anyway, they wrote an article on how to do that and I had - in fact, I even got the book that they recommended and read it and figured it out how to do it because they didn't really tell you how to do it. They just said that they were using them and they were... So I tried it and, sure enough, they worked a lot better than the old method of getting random numbers.

We would like to introduce you to some of the people who ski with us at Ski 4 All Wales.
My name is Wynn Davies and I started skiing 3 years ago at the age of 56 after having a motor bike accident over 10 years ago.
I go to Pembrey dry ski slope every week and really love the speed and sensation of skiing.
I also really enjoy the companionship and banter with my instructors who realise and appreciate my need for speed!!
I had the opportunity to go on holiday to Verbier this year. It took 3 days to drive from Pembrokeshire to Switzerland but it was a wonderful journey and a fantastic holiday. I went skiing everyday….nothing can beat the real thing!!
Hi my name is Jenny, I am 26 years old and when I was 17 I was involved in a road traffic accident which resulted in a traumatic brain injury. This changed my life forever.
I have been in active rehabilitation since, and for the last 2 years have been skiing at Pembrey and am a founder member of Ski4All Wales. I have also ski'd in Verbier twice and I loved every minute of it.
Being part of Ski4All Wales has helped improve my physical ability, balance, coordination and my self-belief.
My name is Christopher Varney. I would like to thank my courageous Ski Instructor Dave for taking me skiing. It allows me to smile and experience movement and great speed which I loved before I was ill and still do.
Please give to this dedicated thoughtful cause. It allows me some vision of what independence is like.


Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend. Why does it always have to go by so fast? I wore this outfit on Saturday and for some reason I got tons of compliments on this top. It is just a basic black top but I dressed it up a little with heels, a belt and two of my favorite necklaces. This top is a great staple to have in your closet. I was shocked at the price. J.Crew is usually a little bit more on the expensive side. But this top is a great price and great quality. I also might get it in white.
My jeans are old and pretty much sold out so I linked a pair that I am really thinking about ordering. I am really into high waisted jeans. They are just really flattering. Also, I am in love with these new heels. I love the color and the heel isn't super high so they are easier to wear. I did bring my Tory Burch sandals in my bag. And thank God I did because we ended up going to the mall. Chasing the kids at the mall was much easier in sandals.
Thank you so much if you tuned into our Instagram live Q and A last night. It was so much fun but a little overwhelming. There were so many questions it was hard to answer them all and I would be answering one question and see another pop up so it was a little all over the place. I will be recapping it here if you missed it. And if we didn't get to answer your question leave it here in the comments and I will include it in the post.
I love your style, you're always looking so effortlessly chic and elegant!
Looking stunning yet again. Your style is flawless.
Hi! I love your style! What length is your Zola necklace? Does it have an extender? I want to make sure I order the right length and yours always looks perfect. Thanks!
Love the shoes and bag combo! So stylish!
I was wondering if you ever have issues wearing very strappy heels? I wear a size 7.5 but my feet are so skinny all the cute heels and booties are too big on my foot. You look like you have small feet as well was wondering if this was an issue for you and if or how you overcome it. I know it's such a strange question. Thank you!
Lovely outfit, such a perfect one for dressing up and down!
How do you possibly have enough days in the week to wear all of the clothes that you show- especially since you prefer leggings and T-shirts? Also, with Florida being so hot and humid, how do you wear jeans and many of the things? How can you stand it? Is it ever really cold where you are? Also, tell us all about the new Chanel bag? And does the husband ever freak out at the price/zillions of boxes being delivered?
The circle necklace that you wear all the time -- do you shower with it too? I've been wanting a simple necklace to wear all the time, but a lot of times I get really lazy to take jewelry off before I shower.

As you can see, this is a very readable text. I like that it has simple footnotes and in this instance, offers several translations. I also like that the Bible has pictures, even though my children would likely prefer more of them. I also noticed that with the New Perspective on Paul/Pistis Christou matter, this version offers both renderings with the traditional translation in the main text and the NPP translation in a footnote (see Rom 3:22). The Bible League website describes the ERV Illustrated Bible as follows, "Easy-to-Read Illustrated Bible gives families and churches a way to introduce God's Word in a simple and enjoyable form that will help anyone understand the plan God has for their lives. The everyday style and colorful illustrations will open up the meaning of God's Word even for those who are not familiar with the Bible. Forty-two full color illustrations and large print." I think in my house, we will begin reading through this version as a family. From my initial observations, I would recommend this to families, young children/youth, and those just learning to read English. Thanks to Daniel Rodriguez for sending me this copy.

On the corner of Court and Plain streets, you will find a facade that's, well, plain. Yet beneath the faded exterior of the Red & White Cafe emerges humble homestyle fish fry and classic American dinner.
The first thing I note when eating at any restaurant is its cleanliness, both in the kitchen and the restroom. When walking up to the counter, I noticed that while the surfaces and equipment looked clean, there was a moderate buildup of dirt and grime underneath the stoves, as well as what looked like days of grease residue above the fryers.
However, after taking a trip to the restroom, I was pleasantly surprised to find a newly refinished and clean space decorated with a fresh coat of red paint and knotty pine on the walls. This rustic theme continued throughout the restaurant, with accents like aluminum fish hanging from the ceiling, which added a certain novelty and charm.
While the front half of the building is a fairly composed restaurant, one can find a messy backroom of unfinished space just by peeking their head through a pair of red curtains by the restroom. Now, I don't know about you, but most of the restaurants I've been to don't seem to have been tacked on, almost as an afterthought, to the rest of the building.
Putting these initial fears behind me, I grabbed a menu and began peering over it. For anyone not accustomed to Chinese dining and its many options, you will be overwhelmed by the amount of items available at Red & White Cafe. From Philly cheesesteak sandwiches to pizza burgers to fried oysters sourced from Virginia, the restaurant offers a multitude of staples of American cuisine. I decided to go with their specialty, a fried fish dinner with an upgrade from fries to potato wedges for $2, and an iced tea from the fridges to the right of the counter, totaling to $19.42 after tax. The man checking us out, who doubled as the chef, politely took our orders and began hustling and bustling at the fryers.
While waiting at the folding table and plastic chairs, I got to take in the wafting smell of hot oil on a warm fall breeze. Every little accent in the room screamed "homemade and proud," which was only further embodied by our host: a man of stature who was probably born with his thick grey mustache and a well-loved pair of blue jeans. Known as John Wells, he proudly explained to us that all of their haddock is sourced fresh from Boston, each sub comes with a half pound of meat and each burger is a full third pound of beef.
Within 15 minutes, Chef Wells, John's brother Chuck, cranked out all five of the meals that my friends and I had ordered, piping hot — an impressive feat from a restaurant I had walked into with low expectations. Now, just to set the record straight, I am a Minnesotan, so fried fish is no laughing matter to me. It quite literally is religion in the land of 10,000 lakes because on every Friday night of Lent, your local Catholic church will serve a homestyle fish fry made by all the grandmothers of the surrounding neighborhoods.
Therefore, to my surprise, laid before me in red-and-white checkered paper was a beautiful golden-brown fillet of Bostonian haddock, positioned over a bed of crisp yet fluffy potato wedges seasoned with coarse sea salt, another unexpected touch from such a modest establishment. The fish was flaky and tender, but the batter was a little chewy, instead of the expected crunch that is characteristic of quality fried fish. This may have been due to how the haddock was fried skin-on, or maybe it just wasn't as fresh as John had marketed it to be. Unlike the potatoes, the fish was underseasoned, so a splash of malt vinegar or sprinkling of salt was necessary.
Complimentary are some of the expected sides for any fish fry: a sweet and tangy tartar sauce, a light yet creamy coleslaw, two lemon wedges and one sauce unique to the Red & White Cafe — a homemade buttermilk ranch that John says "people go crazy over." He also informed me that all sides and sauces were made in-house. While the ranch was good, it was nothing to lose your mind over, just a simple and tasty addition that helped to compensate for the lack of seasoning on the fish.
Stacked with criss-crossed bacon slices, a fried egg, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo, the juicy, medium-cooked "Papa Moe" burger my friend Andrew Martinez '22 ordered was a traditional, yet well-executed take on a classic for just $7.49. Much to his surprise, "The food was actually really good, but I wished the burger was a little more pink on the inside," a change that could easily be made by making your preference clear when ordering. He also preferred the potato wedges over the sweet potato fries, which were somewhat soggy and lacking salt, as they may have been frozen and prepared in haste.
Overall, the experience you get at the Red & White Cafe is perfect for a Friday night, especially when you're a college student missing some good, old-fashioned home cooking. And if you're looking to get the best bang for your buck, this restaurant, with its healthy portion sizes, will not disappoint.
While some Cornellians swear by That's How I Roll, others contend that Plum Tree is the best, and some refuse to even step into a sushi restaurant in this town at all. But alas, I believe that I have found the winner: Mitsuba.
My friend and I can ultimately agree that we wouldn't want our Pinesburger any other way, in any other setting, than how it is on serene Cayuga Lake and in the memories of generations of Cornellians.

The report Decoupling Natural Resource Use and Environmental Impacts from Economic Growth  is one of a series of reports researched and published by the International Resource Panel (IRP) of the United Nations Environment Programme. The IRP provides independent scientific assessments and expert advice on a variety of areas, including:

•	the volume of selected raw material reserves and how efficiently these resources are being used

•	the lifecycle-long environmental impacts of products and services created and consumed around the globe

•	options to meet human and economic needs with fewer or cleaner resources.

About the report
The concept of decoupling is not about stopping economic growth, but rather doing more with less.  In the report's preface, the panel explained that  the "conceptual framework for decoupling and understanding of the instrumentalities for achieving it are still in an infant stage" and that this "first report is simply an attempt to scope the challenges."

The report considered the amount of resources currently being consumed by humanity and analysed how that would likely increase with population growth and future economic development. Its scenarios showed that by 2050 humans could use triple the amount of minerals, ores, fossil fuels and biomass annually – 140 billion tonnes per year – unless the rate of resource consumption could be decoupled from that of economic growth. Developed country citizens currently consume as much as 25 tonnes of those four key resources each year, while the average person in India consumes four tonnes annually. Another billion middle-class are set to emerge as developing countries rapidly became industrialised.

There is evidence that decoupling is already under way; world gross domestic product grew by a factor of 23 in the 20th century, while resource use rose by a factor of eight. However, this will not be enough to avoid meeting resource scarcity and severe environmental limits.

Resource use may ultimately need to fall to between five and six tonnes per person annually. Recycling, re-use and greater efficiency can all help achieve decoupling.

It showed that decoupling might be a good strategy for economic growth in developing countries to avoid becoming resource intensive economies in the future.

Q: Multi column exist statement I am trying to insert data to a table from another where data is not already exists
The table I am inserting the data into
CREATE TABLE #T(Name VARCHAR(10),Unit INT, Id INT)
INSERT INTO #T
    VALUES('AAA',10,100),('AAB',11,102),('AAC',12,130)

The table I am selecting the data from
CREATE TABLE #T1(Name VARCHAR(10),TypeId INT,Unit INT, Id INT)
INSERT INTO #T1
VALUES('AAA',3,10,100),('AAA',3,10,106)

In this case I want to select ('AAA',3,10,106) from #T1 because AAA,106 combination not exists in #T
Basically what I want is to populate unique Name and Id combination
I tried below which doesn't seems to work
SELECT *
FROM #T1
WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM #T)

A: You have to somehow correlate the two tables:
SELECT *
FROM #T1
WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT *
                 FROM #T
                 WHERE #T1.Name = #T.Name AND #T1.ID = #T.ID)

The above query essentially says: get me those records of table #T1 which do not have a related record in #T having the same Name and ID values.

A: Your best bet is probably to use a insert statement with a subquery.  Something like this:
SQL Insert Into w/Subquery - Checking If Not Exists
Edit:  If you're still stuck, try this--
INSERT INTO #T (Name, Unit, Id)
SELECT Name, Unit, Id
FROM #T1
WHERE
    NOT EXISTS (SELECT Name, Unit, Id FROM #T
        WHERE #T.Name = #T1.Name AND #T.Unit = #T1.Unit AND #T.Id = #T1.Id)

Estonian orthography
Title: Estonian orthography
Subject: Estonian language, Latin alphabets, Mid front rounded vowel
Estonian orthography is the system used for writing the Estonian language and is based on the Latin alphabet. The Estonian orthography is generally guided by phonemic principles, with each grapheme corresponding to one phoneme.
Orthographic principles 2
Due to German influence, the Estonian alphabet () has the letters Ä, Ö, and Ü (A, O, and U with umlaut), which represent the vowel sounds [æ], [ø] and [y], respectively. Unlike the German umlauts, they are considered and alphabetised as separate letters and are part of the alphabet. The most distinguishing letter in the Estonian alphabet, however, is the Õ (O with tilde), which was added to the alphabet in the 19th century by Otto Wilhelm Masing and stands for the vowel [ɤ]. In addition, the alphabet also differs from the Latin alphabet by the addition of the letters Š and Ž (S and Z with caron/háček), and by the position of Z in the alphabet: it has been moved from the end to between S and T (or Š and Ž).
The official Estonian alphabet has 27 letters: A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, Š, Z, Ž, T, U, V, Õ, Ä, Ö, Ü. The letters F, Š, Z, Ž are so-called "foreign letters" (võõrtähed), and occur only in loanwords and foreign proper names. Occasionally, the alphabet is recited without them, and thus has only 23 letters: A, B, D, E, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, U, V, Õ, Ä, Ö, Ü.
Additionally C, Q, W, X and Y are used in writing foreign proper names. They do not occur in Estonian words, and are not officially part of the alphabet. Including all the foreign letters, alphabet consists of the following 32 letters:
A a [ɑː] [ɑː]
B b [b̥] [b̥eː]
C c [ts] [tseː] Not officially part of the alphabet; only used in loanwords
D d [d̥] [d̥eː]
E e [e] [eː]
F f [f] [eff] Only used in loanwords
G g [ɡ̊] [ɡ̊eː]
H h [h] [hɑː] or [hɑʃ]
I i [i] [iː]
J j [j] [jotʲː]
K k [k] [kɑː]
L l [l] [ell]
M m [m] [emm]
N n [n] [enn]
O o [o] [oː]
P p [p] [peː]
Q q [k] [kuː] Not officially part of the alphabet; only used in loanwords
R r [r] [err]
S s [s] [ess]
Š š [ʃ] [ʃɑː] Only used in loanwords
Z z [z] [zet] or [zeː] Only used in loanwords
Ž ž [ʒ] [ʒeː] Only used in loanwords
T t [t] [teː]
U u [u] [uː]
V v [v] [veː]
W w [v] [kɑksisveː] Not officially part of the alphabet; only used in loanwords
Õ õ [ɤ] [ɤː]
Ä ä [æ] [æː]
Ö ö [ø] [øː]
Ü ü [y] [yː]
X x [ks] [iks] Not officially part of the alphabet; only used in loanwords
Y y [y] [iɡrek] or [ypsilon] Not officially part of the alphabet; only used in loanwords
In Blackletter script W was used instead of V.
Johannes Aavik suggested that the letter Ü be replaced by Y, as it has been in the Finnish alphabet.
Digraph
aa [ɑː] or [ɑːː]
ee [eː] or [eːː]
ii [iː] or [iːː]
oo [oː] or [oːː]
uu [uː] or [uːː]
õõ [ɤː] or [ɤːː]
ää [æː] or [æːː]
öö [øː] or [øːː]
üü [yː] or [yːː]
Orthographic principles
Although the Estonian orthography is generally guided by phonemic principles, with each grapheme corresponding to one phoneme, there are some historical and morphological deviations from this: for example the initial letter 'h' in words, preservation of the morpheme in declension of the word (writing b, g, d in places where p, k, t is pronounced) and in the use of 'i' and 'j'. Where it is very impractical or impossible to type š and ž, they are substituted with sh and zh in some written texts, although this is considered incorrect. Otherwise, the h in sh represents a voiceless glottal fricative, as in Pasha (pas-ha); this also applies to some foreign names.
Modern Estonian orthography is based on the Newer Orthography created by Eduard Ahrens in the second half of the 19th century based on Finnish orthography. The Older Orthography it replaced was created in the 17th century by Bengt Gottfried Forselius and Johann Hornung based on standard German orthography. Earlier writing in Estonian had by and large used an ad hoc orthography based on Latin and Middle Low German orthography. Some influences of the standard German orthography — for example, writing 'W'/'w' instead of 'V'/'v' persisted well into the 1930s.
It should be noted that Estonian words and names quoted in international publications from Soviet sources are often back-transliterations from the Russian transliteration. Examples are the use of "ya" for "ä" (e.g. Pyarnu instead of Pärnu), "y" instead of "õ" (e.g., Pylva instead of Põlva) and "yu" instead of "ü" (e.g., Pyussi instead of Püssi). Even in the Encyclopædia Britannica one can find "ostrov Khiuma", where "ostrov" means "island" in Russian and "Khiuma" is back-transliteration from Russian instead of "Hiiumaa" (Hiiumaa > Хийума(а) > Khiuma).

Building Made of Bio-concrete Heals Its Own Cracks
Mila Luleva
Self-healing cement, made entirely of bacteria, is now out of the lab and in the walls of the first building that can repair cracks on its own.
It is a well known fact that the cement industry is one of the most polluting ones, right up there with coal burning power plants. This is why many concerned scientists and engineers have been trying to come up with alternative cement-like materials, which cause as little harm to the environment as possible. Unfortunately, regardless of all the great efforts, we hardly ever hear of a successful story, the result from which can really be used outside the lab.
This is probably the reason why when two Dutch scientists from University of Delft- Eric Schlangen and Henk Jonkers, first presented their invention of an eco-friendly, bio-concrete, which can regenerate itself when cracks occur, many looked at the news very skeptically. But, no negative responses could stay in the way of the two guys, who had one and only aim- to construct an entire building out of their miracle bio-material.
Now, three years after the world learnt about their invention, the scientists proudly present the first ever complete building, which can repair itself and prevent structural degradation. The bio-cement that makes up the small lifeguard station, located on the coast of a small lake, consists of bacteria and calcium lactate. When a crack occurs, the bacteria, which can survive for years without food or oxygen, are activated with water. They begin to feed on the calcium lactate, and produce calcite, which is then accumulated it in the space of the crack.
It is always great to see that people are actively working towards developing eco-friendly materials that function just as well as the original, more polluting ones. It is a shame that more often than not, the scientific experiments stay only in the lab and never reach the real-world. This is probably what happened to the other team from University of Michigan, who were also working on self-healing concrete back in 2012.
This is why the bio-concrete with self-healing properties by the Dutch guys is truly remarkable. Let's hope that the idea is viable and we soon see the material being used in most modern constructions. I don't see why not, after all it seems like it could save a lot of money in a long run.

Caleb Wenzel
Author: Jen Fulton
When Caleb Wenzel, a graduate student in Sacred Music, received a Graduate Travel and Research Grant to conduct research in Germany, he expected a routine examination of manuscripts for a critical edition. Instead, he ventured into a series of archival discoveries that took him to a church library in a small German town to find the last complete copy of a short forgotten masterwork. Caleb recently wrote to us about his experience:
Sebastian Knüpfer is not a commonly known name among choral conductors or music scholars, despite having served as the music director at the famed Thomaskirche in Leipzig, Germany for nearly 20 years. Overshadowed by the music of his famous successor, J. S. Bach, Knüpfer's prolific contribution to Lutheran sacred music could simply become archival holdings of various libraries unless his works are championed again and given their rightful attention. In his lifetime, Knüpfer was well-regarded as a master composer with particular strengths in counterpoint and instrumentation. His tenure at the Thomaskirche is generally considered the restoration point of the musical infrastructure decimated by the Thirty Years War. My intention is to revive performance of his works through completion of a critical edition of the extant Latin Psalm concerti.
Some small efforts have been undertaken in the past to revive this repertory, but none have the scope which I have been able to pursue. Previously, Knüpfer's works have been bundled together with works of other composers from the period and region as a musical example of a time and place. Additionally, much of the work done on Knüpfer's music in the past 50 years has been done by American scholars who had extremely limited access to the archives of the former East Germany, where nearly all of the manuscript sources are preserved. Today, a greater ease of international travel and archival access allows for direct access to the sources which were unavailable to previous scholars. Additionally, I am one member of a team creating a critical complete works of Knüpfer's extant works. This is the first time in history that Knüpfer will receive such singular attention. My methodology also departs from previous methods. Rather than taking a large sampling of various works, I have focused work on a particular genre: concerted Latin Psalm settings. This allows me to consider carefully Knüpfer's process in one aspect of his creativity, rather than generalize his corpus of works into a series of broad observations.
My tour of manuscript study first took me to the Bodleian Library of Oxford University. I was able to obtain microfilm copies from the Bodleian before my trip, but the microfilm had been made with old technology and was extremely difficult to read other than the basic skeleton of notes and rhythm. Working with the sources in person was a revelation. It was immediately apparent why these sources have not yet been digitally preserved to modern standards; after the individual folios had been photographed for microfilm, they were bound into a hardcover collection. Examining the sources revealed two major points completely impossible to discern from the microfilm. First, what appeared to be strikeouts in several places was actually a smearing of the staff, probably because the scribe slipped, turning his pen to the broad side and accidentally striking through what he had written. I was also able to trace corrections made after the initial copying by tracing the use of fine and extra fine tip writing. In my 5 days in Oxford, I was able to transcribe the two works in their care, carefully cataloging changes in scribal instrument. I was also able to photo document the manuscripts for my own proof-reading perusal.
After my time in Oxford, I left for the Sächsische Landesbibliothek – Staats und Universitätsbibliothek (SLUB) in Dresden. Working with the music manuscript curator, I learned that they held a source for one of these Latin Psalm settings, Quemadmodum desiderat, which was not cataloged in RISM – the international database of music manuscripts. The source, a collection of choir part books from the city church of Löbau, was too badly damaged for me to access personally, but I was allowed access to their microfilm copy. I quickly realized that this Löbau source was significantly different from the Düben source of this piece I had already consulted. The Löbau source greatly expanded on the Düben version, expanding the string parts and extending the piece to include coda. Unfortunately, the Löbau source was so badly damaged that some instrument parts were missing or incomplete. Peter Wollny's work on this Löbau source revealed that a similar collection of works existed in the archives of the Nickolaikirche in Luckau, citing this very piece as common to both collections. What luck! I immediately wrote to the music director of the Nickolaikirche about visiting the archive and adjusted my itinerary accordingly. Indeed, they held in their collection a manuscript copy of this expanded version of Knüpfer's work – a complete copy! Not only does the Nickolaikirche hold the only known copy of this expanded version, they also have yet a third version of this piece for the same expansion of string parts, but significantly altered string writing and text variants in the vocal part. Unfortunately, they are missing some of these part-books, so this third version is incomplete. The RISM catalog had wrongly cataloged both of these collections, citing these particular works as "anonymous," preventing earlier discovery.
This was a significant find. Not only does it reveal that Knüpfer reworked one piece into at least three versions; it also revealed an extent to which his music circulated without clear annotation of authorship. His name does not appear in either Luckau source. In fact, most pieces in these part books were copied with no annotation of authorship – even though they contained several famous works of Heinhrich Schütz and Johann Kuhnau. Without Peter Wollny's work on both collections, which noted the piece common to each collection, I would not have been put on the trail of these manuscript sources. As such, I have been able to complete editions of two of the three versions of this piece: the smaller Düben version as well as the expanded Luckau/Löobau version. The alternate expanded version from the Luckau source remains unfinished, but now I have begun a new review of 17th-century manuscript holdings of the region. Perhaps I will not find a completed third version in manuscript and will have to complete the work myself. In any case, my critical edition has greater breadth now because of this discovery hidden in an isolated strand of scholarly inquiry and incomplete archival cataloging.
For a performing musician, it is rare to engage in the musicological process to this extent. As a conductor who performs a great deal of 17th-century music, I rely heavily on the work of diligent music scholars. For this project, I am both working with some of the top scholars of 17th-century music as well as engaging in the scholarship first-hand. Never would I have suspected that what was expected to be a rather routine examination of manuscripts for a critical report would have developed into an archival treasure hunt. I have a newfound gratitude for music archivists, to be sure. But this has also given me pause as a performing musician. When I present this body of works in a concert for the American Bach Society in April, the performance of Quemadmodum desiderat will be more than a fantastic story about some scholar traveling to a small town in Germany to find the last complete copy of a nearly forgotten master composer; it will be my story about finding a masterwork in the least expected of places.

Recruitment for terrorist cell tops Google searches
People using Google for some search queries were being presented with "Isis" as one of the top autocomplete suggestions, it has been revealed.
Internet users in the US, as well as the UK, were presented with the hint when typing "how can I join…".
The suggestion has now been stopped, but up until the 5th February, entering the phrase into the Google UK search engine saw "the police" at number one, followed by "the illuminati" and then "a union".
In fourth was Isis, one of the self-appointed names of the terrorist organisation that presently controls areas of Iraq and Syria.
The result appeared higher on searches completed on Google in the US, according to Danny Sullivan from Search Engine Land (SEL).
Sullivan, the founding editor of SEL, said that it was the second choice offered. Ahead of it was "the illuminati", while Disney's Club 33 came in third.
At fourth on the list was the KKK, a recognised abbreviation of the Ku Klux Klan organisation.
With estimates putting recruitment for the Jihadist group at over 1,000 people, there was immediate concern with the findings.
When it was initially noticed by the BBC, the broadcaster notified Google about the autocomplete search result. After this, the search engine giant acted swiftly to remove it.
Google often removes search query results that relate to terrorism, violence and other specified subjects. However, this is being seen as yet another demonstration of how the terrorist group is using the Internet.
It is active on Twitter and Facebook, as well as Instagram. However, the group also uses a number of smaller social media platforms, which could be a concern to the tight-knit communities.
As well as written posts, the group uses many of the social tools at its disposal to spread its Jihadist message, including pictures and videos.

MOVIE: VIOLENT NIGHT
STARRING: DAVID HARBOUR, BEVERLY D'ANGELO, JOHN LEGUIZAMO
DIRECTED BY: TOMMY WIRKOLA
AMovieGuy.com's RATING: 2 ½ STARS (Out of 4)
It's not a new concept to make Santa Claus a beer swilling, foul mouthed, aggressive version of the jolly giver of gifts is not new. Just in 2020 there was Fatman and before that we had Bad Santa. The newest installment of a Santa with attitude is director Tommy Wirkola's Violent Night, which features a hammer wielding, butt-kicking Santa, faced against a group of bad guys trying to rob a secured vault in the home of a wealthy business woman. What audiences will get in their stocking is a bit of naughty and nice, with a narrative structure that throws back to 90's action, and has a delightful performance from David Harbour as jolly ole' Saint Nick. It makes for Violent Night to be an enjoyable holiday mash-up, with a few lumps of coal in moments, and enough joy to bring holiday cheer.
We meet Santa (Harbour) sitting at the bar, a few beers deep, and seemingly down in the dumps. It's Christmas eve and that means he needs to work all night delivering presents. One of the good kids is Trudy Lightstone (Leah Brady), whose mom Linda (Alexis Louder) and dad Jason (Alex Hassell) have been having marital discourse. They hope to enjoy the holiday at the gated community and mansion of the fierce matriarch of the family Gertrude Lightstone (Beverly D'Angelo). Things turn for the worse when a group of criminals show up to take over the house- all with Christmas code names- and are led by an angry man named Scrooge (John Leguizamo). This plan takes a turn when Santa finds himself in the house as the heist begins and now the only person left to help stop it is the big bearded gift giver.
An easy way to describe Violent Night- a comment that many have already said- is that it's Home Alone meets Die Hard and that's not a bad description. It's certainly a throwback to 90's-action films, such as Reindeer Games, Die Hard 2, Daylight, and True Lies, and the majority of that style arrives from Leguizamo. His bad guy is a ruthless jerk and his backstory certainly involves a hatred for Christmas. What hinders it a bit is the more gruesome violence that takes place, where heads are impaled by a bed of nails, bodies are sent through wood chippers, and heads sheared off. If there were more of that, Violent Night would be on a similar stage as Terrifier 2. They certainly get the Violent part right.
The additional plus side comes from the sheer presence of David Harbour. His performance and moments are the best part. He has whip smart quips and throws his body around as one bad ass Santa. The problems lie on just about everything else, where the editing has major continuity problems, the Christmas-theme puns and phrases started to wear on me, and the rest of the plot is mundane family bickering. If the screenplay, written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller, was as rich as the Santa bashing heads or Home Alone-style traps set for bad guys, there might be a better movie in its entirety.
What is interesting though is that Violent Night is never boring, dripping with the David Harbour magnetism, and well choreographed fight sequences. Without those the snow mountain crumbles. There are great highs and sluggish slow lows here. The direction from Tommy Wirkola is solid- his other films The Trip and Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead are better representations of his strengths- but there is enough reason to want a sequel from this one. The idea of David Harbour continuing to play Santa would put an instant smile on my face. That's what Santa does but this is one Santa you do not want to mess with.

Is mobile phone ban in pubs a step too far?
Aside from the fact that it prevents patrons from making their own decision about their technology use, a mobile phone ban is also impractical in some ways
Deborah Coleman - Straight Talking
What would you do if you were asked to switch off your mobile phone in a pub or restaurant?
https://www.independent.ie/regionals/fingalindependent/lifestyle/is-mobile-phone-ban-in-pubs-a-step-too-far-37781371.html
https://www.independent.ie/regionals/fingalindependent/news/article37781370.ece/d3356/AUTOCROP/h342/2019-02-05_wic_47742908_I1.JPG
A pub in West Cork has put a ban on mobile phone use, claiming that it kills conversation and that anyone who wants to go out for a drink shouldn't have their head stuck in their phone.
This is absolutely correct - phones and technology have completely killed the art of conversation, but I'm unconvinced of the merits of imposing an all-out ban in places like pubs and restaurants.
Adults are free to make their own decisions and if they want to go for a quiet lunch, pint of a cup of coffee, who's to say that they shouldn't be allowed to look at their phone while they ear or drink?
In a idea world, everybody would be engaged with one another in a social environment, but to be honest if you are out solo, it's often quite useful to have your phone for company and as long as you're not disturbing other customers, then where's the harm.
It's not uncommon to see a group of people sitting or socialising 'together' around a table, all glued to their phones, but surely that is a matter for themselves, not the publican.
It's a great marketing tool and certainly grabbed attention, with many divided views on the phone ban.
Aside from the fact that it prevents patrons from making their own decision about their technology use, it's also impractical in some ways.
Many of us cannot go 'off grid' while out to dinner or in the pub.
We need to be contactable for family or work reasons, and rather than sit at home waiting for a call which may or may not happen, it's preferable to get out of the house with friends and deal with such calls if and when they arise.
Now, the reason I imagine that this ban was introduced was because phones have become a problem and I agree that there's nothing worse than sitting beside someone booming into their phone, deep in conversation. Many people seem to have no idea of etiquette or manners when it comes to mobile phones, and will take a call anytime, anywhere, regardless of the interruption to others.
If we all showed a bit more consideration for others, then perhaps an official ban wouldn't be needed.

A marsh full of people and plenty of wildlife
By Annis Pratt
I have always loved marshes and try to get as far into them as I can. I am also a bird-watcher, and for years I drove down M-22, just past the village of Arcadia, to get a look from the road into Arcadia Lake on one side and a marshy lagoon on the other. It was frustrating not to be able to see more of what was going on in one of the few remaining Great Lakes Coastal Marshes that teems with birds and wildlife.
In 2019, when the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy opened the Arcadia Marsh's marvelous new boardwalk, all that changed, however.
Now, anyone can stroll from one end of the marsh to the other, and it is completely accessible to wheelchairs, as well. There are viewing platforms and fishing decks with comfortable benches all along its three-quarter-mile length.
During summertime, grandfathers quietly fish with grandchildren, teenagers and adults cast into the waters, walkers marvel at the view, and lots of children run along the boardwalk. The children, though, seem less interested in the expansive marsh vista than in smaller things close at hand: a toddler crouches over a puddle, fascinated by a green frog; a boy whose father is casting wide into the marsh is more interested in the bubbles along his fish line, which he has plunged straight down; a mother and two small daughters are leaning over the rail, entranced by the gorgeous whorls of swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) growing there; a grandmother tries to shoo a little girl away from a pile of scat that she crouches over. (The scat looks like fox to me, though it could be from a raccoon—I have a wonderful children's guide to Tracks, Scats, and Signs that I wish I could show her.)
Further along, I enjoy watching two young men struggling to net their catch, which turns out to be a thrashing Bowfin/Dogfish (Amia calva) in its spawning colors.
I wear my binoculars and often chat with other enthusiasts who are looking out for some of the 250 species of birds that flourish in the protection of the nature preserve.
There is a small lagoon on the north side of the boardwalk, where I spot a pair of Pied-billed Grebes (Podilymbus podiceps), small duck-like waterbirds that spend more time underwater than on the surface. With a bob of their heads, they throw their tails in the air as they take little leaping dives for fish, amphibians, and water insects.
In a bushy area next to the boardwalk, a female Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) flutters about in pursuit of a fledgling. Both are sparrow-colored, markedly different from the black male with his scarlet and gold epaulette.
On the shore of the lagoon, there is a Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) perched on a dead tree; he tilts his head before a dramatic dive and splash, returning to whack a fish against the branch.
On the far shore, a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) stands motionless, one eye tilted to the water.
On the other side of the boardwalk, there are two groups of swans up: one with orange beaks and the other with black—Mute Swans (Cygnus olor) and Trumpeters (Cygnus buccinator), respectively. The latter were almost wiped out a couple of years ago* but have been reintroduced in the Midwest and are flourishing here now as an emblem of how Mother Nature benefits us when we do our duty rightly to her, just as, in her turn, she has rewarded the establishment of the Arcadia Marsh Nature Preserve with all of this bounty and beauty.
Annis Pratt has a cottage on the Betsie River. She has been a bird watcher since 1947 and finds the banks of the Betsie an absolute bird paradise. She is author of The Infinite Games Series of adventure novels about a marshland folk who are threatened by the draining of their homeland and of three non-fiction books about the way that myths are used in literature. She is a nature writer, a columnist for the international e-magazine Impakter.com, and was an early contributor to The Betsie Current, back in the 2005-06 days.
