An Example of the Transactional Type Functions in a Business

Relationship Between Professional Selling & Fashion Merchandising
Strategic business functions, such as accounting, marketing and product development, are dedicated to planning, strategy and analysis. Companies also need to produce goods and services to sell to customers and remain profitable. Buying materials and other resources and selling finished goods or services are examples of transactional functions with external customers. Some internal transactional functions, provided by employers as employee benefits, help attract and retain top talent.
Buying and Risk Taking
Companies may purchase raw materials, equipment, technical support and expertise in order to produce goods and services. These transactions are often based on market analysis and other factors used to predict the opportunity to recover costs and make a profit. Companies need sufficient raw materials, but there is risk involved in buying goods for future production or sale. A construction company may purchase materials based on projections, and then find the housing market weaker than anticipated. A retail store may stock items that seemed "hot" six months ago and are now out of fashion. Purchasing, buying and procurement are examples of transactional business functions.
Selling Products and Services
Companies depend on sales to move merchandise, keep their employees working and make the business profitable. Inferior products and services can cost companies money and erode profitability due to returns, rework, poor reviews and lost customers. Sales agents, retail clerks and telemarketers are a few examples of transactional selling function positions.
Recruiting and Hiring
Human resources is responsible for strategic and administrative functions as well as transactional functions, such as recruiting and hiring employees. This department is tasked with seeking out and attracting talented individuals to staff open positions in exchange for a compensation package. While HR doesn't "buy" individuals, it does requisition their talents, experience and services for a fee.
Human resources also plays a part in negotiating attractive and cost-effective health and welfare benefit packages for employees. Along with the finance department, accounting and perhaps the CEO, human resources is responsible for researching benefit providers, designing benefit packages and purchasing services. These transactions purchase services for the employees as part of the overall recruiting and retention function.

This year, after adding Adam Dunn and Josh Willingham, the Nats are on pace to score almost 100 more runs than in '08, even though catcher Jesús Flores missed nearly the whole season and leadoff revelation Nyjer Morgan played just 49 games.
"We've fixed the offense this year. With Nyjer here all next year and Jesús back, we should be better," Zimmerman said. "Now we need to do the same thing with our pitching and defense -- give up about 100 less runs."
The Nats' pitching, with the worst ERA in baseball entering Thursday (5.12), has been so horrid this season that a 100-run improvement might not be as tough as it sounds. They're on pace to give up 73 more runs than any team in the NL. So, just improving enough to be tied for the absolute worst would be transforming. After being beaten over the head with a bat, just being kicked in the shins is almost fun.
Besides, by midseason, Strasburg and No. 10 overall draft pick reliever Drew Storen may be up from the minors to stay.
And, about that time, the Nats look like they'll be getting the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft.
"I didn't say anything," Zimmerman said, grinning at a $15.1 million man who frets about greens fees, "but considering all the things he could've said, I was thinking, 'Good answer, kid.' "
At least the Nats don't dispute that they can afford to do what both their own players and their fans want. The Nats have so many contracts coming off the books they can spend an additional $20 million a year on free agent salaries in '10 and still have the same cheap $61.4 million payroll that placed them fourth from last in baseball in '09. And a $65- to $70-million payroll is still pretty conservative. After all, the median MLB budget is $80 million for middling towns such as Milwaukee, Toronto, Cincinnati and Baltimore. Even a $97 million budget doesn't crack the top dozen.
"That's all public. I can't disagree," Kasten said. So, the Nats' feet are to the fire. They claim that's where they want 'em to be.
The Nats' plan -- oh, yes, those pesky plans do evolve, don't they -- now includes, at the least, two starters for the rotation. One may be Hernández, a bargain-basement type, if his final month goes decently. But the other should be a middle-of-the-rotation type for a good team -- meaning a possible Opening Day pitcher by the Nats' standards. Who? There's seldom been such a huge class of established free agent starters.
Rizzo is looking at a list that includes Jason Marquis, Randy Wolf, John Lackey, Cliff Lee, Jon Garland, Kevin Millwood, Tim Hudson, Brad Penny, Joel Piñeiro, Braden Looper, Jarrod Washburn, Brandon Webb, Brett Myers, John Smoltz and more. "Some of them have club options that may be picked up," Rizzo said. "But that's a long list. We're going to get one of them."
In a sense, it's sad when a team with 23 games to play has little to think about but the hopes of the offseason or word next month from the Arizona Fall League on how a class that includes Strasburg and Storen looks in the flesh.


It's a difficult scenario – you are firmly entrenched in a supply chain perhaps and your clients are the feed for this chain. To lose any of them could cause untold damage – particularly if they owe you money.
And it's not even something you can discuss openly because there is a real danger of being held accountable in defamation law if you (even inadvertently) spread rumours which bring into question a company's solvency.
So how are you supposed to know if a business that you deal with on a day-to-day basis is running into financial difficulty or teetering on the verge of insolvency?
Here at Wilson Field, we are well versed in spotting the signs which indicate businesses in distress and then acting to help those companies out of trouble before it is too late, so here are a few of the warning signs that may help you to identify if your clients may be starting to suffer cash flow problems.
Are you seeing an extending payment period for your services or goods? This is often a warning sign that cash flow is tight – and although it may simply be a temporary development, it's worth taking note if you witness a lengthening payment period, particularly if it is combined with other factors. It can creep up unawares as you focus on the other areas of your business, you may not notice that a client or customer has stretched 60-day payment terms out to 75 days and then on to 90 days – especially if you invoice multiples of clients.
Check at Companies House and see if the client has entered a late filing period for its annual accounts. It is free to do this and allows you to spot other anomalies such as changes to officers (directors etc). Late filing of accounts sometimes happens when a company has something to hide, such as posting a significant loss. Equally worrying, they may simply be disorganised and that will likely reflect other aspects of how the business is managed.
Sometimes, late accounts can be followed by a Companies House threat of 'strike-off' from the register of companies. This will be a direct result of a company pushing well beyond the allocated filing period, but crucially, the two factors can be a strong indicator of a company in difficulty. Once this information is in the public domain, it can result in other creditors curtailing credit and suddenly cash flow can come under spiraling downward pressure.
And despite the fact that prosecution is a real threat for those who carelessly spread rumours about a company's stability, rumours do occur and if they are rife, there may be some truth – especially if people are saying that they are experiencing the same difficulties as you in getting payments etc. You may also hear other rumours such as bounced cheques which are bad signs.
It may come to your notice that your client has been issued a county court judgement (CCJ) for non-payment. This is another strong indicator of troubled waters.
Are you seeing changes in the client's business? There are often abrupt changes in management, reductions in fleet numbers, redundancies, staff departures etc which can be indicative of a business changing for the better, but which are more often indicative of a struggling business.
Have you seen your customer placing smaller and more frequent orders? This can be an indicator that there is insufficient cash-flow for them to stock the shelves fully, so they are placing orders as and when they can afford to.
And the next question, if you should you spot a combination of the above factors and decide to take action, is what should you do about it?
At this stage, you will be genuinely concerned that your client or customer is suffering some form of financial difficulty and it becomes crucial that you take steps to protect your own business from the potential fall-out from an insolvency in your supply chain.
Although it may seem a bit late in the day for you to consider it, a good practice to minimise bad debt risk for your company is to undertake credit checks on those who pay you for your goods or services.
These credit checks should be undertaken before allowing credit ideally, as they may show clear evidence of a business which does not honour its credit arrangements.
And it pays to run credit checks periodically for ongoing customers. This becomes much more of an imperative if you spot warning signs that your client is suffering cash-flow problems.
If you are armed with credit check information about a customer, you should approach them to arrange an agreed credit limit and you should stick to that limit.
Where credit arrangements already exist and you already have concerns about your client, your policy should be to collect all monies owed to your business promptly and to remain inflexible in this approach.
If you find that you are overdue on payments from a client or customer – step in and work hard to recover the funds as quickly as possible. Familiarise yourself with the accounts payment department and chase your debt diligently. In tight situations, struggling businesses may simply hold payments – only paying those who hound them for the money so it's important that you are heard as much as the next person. Don't be caught out simply because you didn't shout loud enough! This is a crucial part of any business so if you or your company are not good at collecting money due to you, consider outsourcing the job to specialists.
The situation is a difficult one because you will not want to alienate customers by taking a hard line with them unnecessarily, but remember that your own livelihood may be at risk if you do not take fast action to protect it from unpaid debts. If your client does become insolvent – recovering money owed to you may be much more difficult and may even be an impossibility, leaving you in your own financial danger.
We work to help businesses in all kinds of financial difficulty and we can advise on how to handle situations which may place your business at risk of insolvency. In all instances, it is best to seek professional advice as soon as you are alerted to a problem. So pick up the phone – we're here to help.

My Baby is the second single of rapper Bow Wow's third studio album Unleashed (2003), featuring guest vocals by R&B group Jagged Edge. The song is about how he meets a girl, that is in an abusive relationship.

The music video features actress Davetta Sherwood and two storylines. It ends with the caption: 'Make the right choice', a message to those who are in an abusive relationship.

Music video
In the video, a girl called Kim (played by Sherwood) sits frustrated on the stairs and cries. Lil' Bow Wow notices her and tries to make her laugh. Before he left he gave her his phone number. Later he calls her and they start a conversation, but Kim's abusive and drunk ex-boyfriend knocks on the door.

At this point, the screen splits in two: The right side shows the storyline, where Kim hangs up the phone and let her ex-boyfriend enter, who puts her in his car and drive away. While the driving, they dispute and soon they got into a deadly car accident, where they both died.

The left side shows where Kim didn't hang up the phone, but leaves her ex outside and then walks away. She then continued her conversation with Bow Wow. Some days later, Bow Wow and Kim are sitting on a park bench and kiss. At the end both are sitting together on the stairs, where Kim (at the start of this video) sat and cried.

The music video also features a short part of Bow Wow's song "The Don, The Dutch", a track that also appeared on his album Unleashed.

Sleek raises $5M to help companies incorporate and operate in Singapore and Hong Kong
Manish Singh
Sleek, a startup that is making it easier for other startups and companies to incorporate and operate in Singapore and Hong Kong, said today it has extended its seed financing round to raise $5 million.
The extended seed round for the two-year-old startup was led by private investors Pierre Lorinet and Fabio Blom, and MI8, an Asia-focused European-backed private investment company.
Sleek also counts a number of high-profile individuals among its investors, including Martin Crawford, former Group CEO of corporate services giant Vistra; Olivier Gerhardt, founder of Wavecell; Eric Barbier, founder of TransferTo; and Olivier Legrand, MD Asia at Linkedin.
Sleek, founded by French entrepreneurs Julien Labruyere and Adrien Barthel, today helps more than 2,000 startups and companies in Singapore and Hong Kong, an additional market it extended to in mid-2019. Some of its clients include Yours Cosmetics (funded by Sequoia), Aspire Financials (which raised $30 million recently), Ematic Solutions, Devialet, and oil and gas giant Total.
As we wrote about them in June this year, Sleek not only helps startups and companies incorporate themselves in Singapore (and now, Hong Kong), but also takes care of their accounting, taxes, regulatory compliance and other administrative work.

Singapore and Hong Kong have emerged as epicenters for startups and tech worldwide. "Hong Kong is a historical Asian financial hub, with six times more operating companies than in Singapore and an amazing business ecosystem," said Barthel, adding that despite the current situation in Hong Kong, the business is growing in the market.
Both Singapore and Hong Kong today offer a range of benefits, including government-backed startup programs to attract businesses, but setting up shops there still requires a lot of paperwork.
The traditional way of dealing with accounting and incorporation is a cumbersome task, and is the last thing founders want to deal with, Barthel explained to TechCrunch in an interview. Plus, there's no transparency in what the actual cost of doing these tasks would be, he said.
Sleek offers a subscription business, where it charges a fixed amount -- about $600 -- to its customers each year. Starting a second year, it waives some of its fee, said Barthel. "We also offer a simple dashboard for our clients to quickly check the progress we have made on any front," he added.
To make the deal even better, Sleek offers vouchers with subscriptions to AWS, Stripe, Google Cloud -- that they are likely going to use in their businesses anyway -- worth thousands of dollars. The startup also connects its partner entrepreneurs with financial institutions to help them access working capital.
Barthel said before signing up a client, Sleek does its own due diligence. "Singapore, for instance, has stringent KYC (know your customer) processes. Among other things, we use a number of APIs that are tied with all the major global databases to ensure that our potential clients are not doing notorious business," he said.
Sleek, which today employs 85 people, will use the fresh capital to expand its tech team, build new features for clients and increase its operational capacity.
Guatemalan security forces on Sunday used sticks and tear gas to beat back a large migrant caravan bound for the United States, just days before the advent of a new U.S. administration, which urged travelers to abandon the journey. Between 7,000 and 8,000 migrants, including families with young children, have entered Guatemala since Friday, authorities say, fleeing poverty and violence in a region hammered by the coronavirus pandemic and back-to-back hurricanes in November. "Guatemala's message is loud and clear: These types of illegal mass movements (of people) will not be accepted, that's why we are working together with the neighboring nations to address this as a regional issue," the Guatemalan president's office said in emailed comments.

...But, for time spent on platform metric.
a measurement that, I believe, will increasingly become the only valuable one on social media.
We're now in the new land grab: the one for attention. Only the strong will survive this next frontier - can your content be more compelling than content on any other platform? How much time can you get your users to spend with you? The longer you have them, the more ads you can show them. (See also: Twitter content partnership announcement at NewFront's 2018).
If you can't create great content, you'll have to acquire it...somehow.
it sounds so official when it's written like a baseball player, MVP.
but minimum viable product can't possibly be where you're sprinting towards: this is the first caisson in your brooklyn bridge. (see my friend drew at the brooklyn bridge above) it takes so much more than this to get to manhattan.
so maybe this advice i heard recently from a storied investor is valid: don't give me your MVP. give me your $19billion dollar idea 7 years from now. because, if i had to guess, your MVP is more than valid: there's a lot of need in this world. i'm sure you have a good idea and a good solution for a problem you've observed.
but don't just give me that. give me your bigger and bigger and biggest idea...and then, let's go there together.

Hello, my name is Connor, and I am 13 years old. I go to the American Community School of Abu Dhabi, and I have been working on different of artworks throughout the year. I kind of artwork I like is mainly artwork that is either copying or some sort of replicating artwork, but what I like the most is pencil drawings, because I know I make a lot of mistakes and using pencil to put in details and being able to erase and fix it, and even make even more with eraser is really appealing to me. The reason I like the replicating or copying paintings is because of how I like to pay attention to detail. I think one good example of this is the recent painting, a copy painting I did of a painting called "Tableau (yellow, black, blue, red and grey)" by Piet Mondrian.
I like this painting and this unit in general because of how it basically asked you to use and improve your detail skills, and I feel like I did that well, plus the freedom of choice of my painting I thought was a very good way to make to make sure we can all do something we can all do well, challenge ourselves, and eventually be proud of it.
Hi, I think that the shading around the chin and under the eyes is really effective. What did you use for your shading and drawing? Charcoal?
I really like the painting you did, it's really eye catching and I like the style. Your drawing looks really realistic, i love how you shaded it. Did you copy the face from a picture or memory?
Thank you for saying nice things about my portrait I used a picture I had with me at all times so I could copy a lot of the details.
Your painting is interesting! It seems as though it's in the style of De Stijl, is that right? I also like the use of basic colors, it really stands out with your choice of a white background! For your drawing, you made a great use of shading and especially the darker tone on the glasses make it pop out! I honestly can't think of anything to improve on! Keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed reading this blog as not only did I take in lots of information about these paintings and this style, but I also loved the paintings that were posted on this blog. I was just wondering what inspired you to paint this style and what inspired to start this blog? Thanks!
The reason I started this blog because of my entire art class was doing it so we can share our art with people around the world, I am glad I get the opportunity to share the artwork I worked hard on.
Hi I'm Kelly Huh from Xiamen International School. Your post is really interesting and I enjoyed so much. I also like pencil drawing and I know it is really hard to sketch naturally. I like your drawing skill which is making the sketch smoothe.
Hi I'm RuiQi He from Xiamen International School. I really like both your painting and drawing. For the painting, I personally really like the style. For the drawing, I really love the detailed sketch and natural shading. I think you did an amazing job.
Hi i'm Vivek from UWCSEA. I found that the way you used your shading made your painting detailed. I love the way you used different shades in your drawing. I really like the way you drew the ear and the left eye because it looks very realistic. Overall your drawing was excellent as Amanda said.
Hey, I like the minimalistic piece and I also like the use of geometric shapes in it as well.
I'm Sana from UWC, I really like the minimalist de stijl painting, because it resembles the original really well. I think it's really hard to paint the black lines straight, but you've done it really well in this painting. Also, you've used plain colours, and haven't blended anything, and this makes the painting look simple, but also interesting. I really hope to see more artwork from you!
Hey Connor, your sketch is very good and the fact that you have lightly sketched the face and how you have blended the pencil lines very well which create a really smooth effect. What inspired you to draw this and what else inspires you in general? Follow me @kenza_david to see what inspires me to take photos!

The Government is providing funding to schools to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all children. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.
School has to spend the sport funding on improving its provision of PE and sport, but we have the freedom to choose how we do this. Possible uses for the funding include: hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches, paying for professional development opportunities for sport, running sport competitions, or increasing participation in the school games, purchasing sports resources and equipment, providing places for pupils on after school sport clubs.
Ensuring the sustainability of whole school swimming lessons.
Hiring qualified sports coaches to work alongside teachers when teaching PE.
Providing places for all pupils at after school sport clubs many led by qualified coaches/external providers.
Providing opportunities for children to compete (i.e. in tournaments and fixtures between the local primary schools).
Continued professional development (CPD) and curriculum delivery support.
The purchase of sporting equipment and resources.
St Mary's will be monitoring both the physical development and engagement levels of pupils through observation and assessment.
The school will be offering a variety of after school sports clubs and will be closely monitoring the attendance to ensure maximum take up.
St Mary's will maximise opportunities for both in school and out of school sporting competitions.

Life with Lesley: $10 Discount @ Molecule Clothing!
My husband is very much a man's man and he doesn't like to dress up often. Getting him out of jeans is an act of congress. So I try to get him pants that look nice regardless of their casual wear. I was so excited to run across Molecule's Cargo Pants. I can't wait to see how he likes getting these for Christmas!!
They not only have function but can be fashionable as well. Perfect for any occasion! Made with sturdy cotton and double stitched when you purchase Molecule's clothing you are purchasing high quality material.

Molecule is tough wearing and provides a great fit!


Finally got "Orange Crush", and the rolling mill all setup, and the shop back in order. Now the fin part....testing out the new tools!
I started out with a few billets of damascus, some large chunks of 4140, and some 1" square stock of 416 and 5160.
The chunk of 4140 started out at 8 1/2" long X 4" X 4", and was able to get it down to 1 1/2" forging hammer stock in just a couple of heats!
I only did the initial welds on the damascus billets, but will try to get pics of working those down into "W" pattern.
I'm really diggin these tools! Now if I can just keep up with what the tools are capable of doing, I should easily double my damascus production!
Congratulations on the new toys but I'm worried that you might be showing signs of Tool Acquisition Syndrome .
Do you need some more hammers, Ed?
Nice Ed, I know you have been wanting a bigger press for a long time.
I wanna come and play, I'll bring some steel.
Don: YEP! Can't ever have too many hammers in a hot shop!
Bing: Anytime Pal! I'm gona go back to working on the damascus billets today!
Great pictures Ed. You got the stuff up and running pretty quickly!

It is also suited to academic historians who are looking for the theories, knowledge and skills to communicate their research in the most effective way to wider audiences.
The course was designed in collaboration with potential employers and is taught by staff and industry professionals who are well connected and up-to-date with the latest techniques. Through your studies you will develop professional skills of historical interpretation and communication and have the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals, including museum curators, public archivists, publishers and TV and radio producers. You will learn about the key theories that underpin public history, digital history and public engagement and become equipped to work in a sector undergoing constant development, where collaborating with other professionals and members of the public will be essential.
We are one of the largest and liveliest History departments in the UK yet our size is not at the cost of anonymity; you will receive our individual attention and become part of our close-knit post graduate community. Our internationally renowned academics are developing the very latest thinking on historical problems and their interests range from the ancient to the contemporary.
In this module you will develop an understanding of a range of practical issues relating to the presentation of the past to contemporary audiences, including the interpretation of history in public and communal spaces and the management of heritage sites. You will look at ethical and legal matters, strategic planning and development, as well as awareness of a range of issues related to working with local communities, visitor survey and evaluation, exhibition planning, collection conservation, and education techniques for working in informal public spaces. You will examine debates relating to history in museums, community history, history as commemoration, history as apology and communicating with minorities about the past. You will also consider popular writing, history journalism, and history broadcasting, with the opportunity to visit several museums and galleries, experiencing how institutions and projects use archival, visual and material resources.
In this module you will develop an understanding of the core issues in communicating the public understanding of the past. You will learn how to plan, record and produce a variety of aural, written and visual projects. You will look at recent and current developments in the field of public communications in a variety of printed, audio and visual media. You will examine controversies in contemporary public history and heritage, archives and museums, and consider the interface between historical resources and public output, analysing how the public engages with history.
In this module you will develop an understanding of the theory and practice of oral history in the wider context of public history. You will look at a range of current theories within oral history, including experience, collective memory and social remembering. You will examine the relationship between individual narratives, group narratives and public memory, and the concept of historical consciousness. You will examine the ethical and legal implications of collecting and using oral history interviews, including the significance and implications of shared authority and the Copyright, Designs and Patenets Act (1998). You will also learn how to design questions and schedules, and how to conduct and evaluate an interview, considering the different ways an interview can be interpreted.
In this module you will develop an understanding of the range, scope and depth of historical archives. You will learn how to uncover documents and artefacts, and how to construct a convincing historical story. You will interpret a variety of evidence including written texts, recorded interviews, film and photography and material objects, as well as look at some key interpretative methods such as oral and transnational history. You will hear from a number of visiting speakers who are specialists and practitioners, examining a range of theoretical approaches to historical interpretation.
In this module you will develop an understanding of the major intellectual traditions within the study of History as a discipline. You will look at how history is a subject that sits between the social sciences and the arts and often avoids reflecting on its own practice. You will consider what 'writing history' actually entails and what possibilities it offers, considering how history has proliferated over the last decade, both in the growth of scholarly monographs and articles, and in the field of public history with its television serials, trade books, and museum displays.
You will carry out an extended piece of research. You will be appointed a member of academic staff who will act as your supervisor, providing you with support and guidance. You will produce a written report of between 10,500 and 12,000 words in length or a comparative piece of work in another medium, such as a video or website.
Assessment is carried out by a variety of methods including coursework, and a final project with accompanying reflexive essay.
Candidates with professional qualifications and work experience in an associated area will also be considered.
Applicants come from a diverse range of backgrounds and we accept a broad range of qualifications (including first degrees in subjects other than History).
We occasionally invite candidates to an interview when we would like more information upon which to base a decision. If applicants are unable to attend, such as overseas students, we interview by telephone.
A piece of written work may be required from applicants who do not meet the standard academic requirements.
IELTS: 6.5 overall Writing 7.0. No other subscore lower than 5.5.
On completion of your MA in Public History at Royal Holloway you will be equipped to pursue a career in broadcasting or film, in museums, heritage, with community organisations or in journalism.

The complicity of silence and the obligations of power: my response to Tuesday's meeting and The Ledger story
Billy Townsend June 22, 2018 7 Comments on The complicity of silence and the obligations of power: my response to Tuesday's meeting and The Ledger story
On August 31, 2017, School Board Member Tim Harris, on behalf of the Polk County School District as an institution, destroyed the credibility of the Tenoroc sexual harassment investigations, while they were active.
He attended a mandatory Tenoroc staff meeting called by principal Jason Looney. At that meeting, he lectured the Tenoroc faculty, which included many actual or potential witnesses. He expressed institutional support for Jason Looney, while the investigation was still active. He suggested some of the staff/witnesses might want to find new jobs. He had been aware of Brandi Garcia Blanchard's allegations for more than a month when he said this:
I appreciate those of you were comfortable enough to send those emails, some of whom I did reply.
And as a result of those emails I felt like it was important for myself and the superintendent to come out and speak with you and show our support — and support of Mr. Looney.
Unfortunately, the superintendent cannot be here she has a very important family issue. [Inaudible] She's out of the office for several days. So keep her in your prayers please.
I personally have gone through situations in my career, and I was with the school district for 31 years before I ran for School Board, where I had a supervisor, let's just say had a different paradigm from mine.
I finally got to the point where I could handle the different paradigm because I decided that myself and that supervisor were always going to disagree. We just had a totally different philosophy of life. When I finally got to those mental positions with those three separate supervisors, I was able to deal with it a lot better and accept their differences from mine. It made looking for another job a lot easier mentally.
Tim Harris said that, with Jason Looney standing next to him, while the investigation was still active and its outcome, in theory, still unclear.
Harris and Looney openly showed powerless witnesses, on behalf of the institution, that the institution had made up its mind. Harris made claims on behalf of the superintendent, speaking for her in her absence. I didn't invent these facts. This happened. The tape and transcripts exist because a potential witness who felt intimidated taped what Harris said.
This meeting destroyed the validity of the Tenoroc investigations before they were finished and released. I told the School District immediately that this intimidation happened. At that instant, we should have hired an independent investigator to review Brandi Garcia Blanchard's investigations. We did not.
I cannot imagine the liability that exposes us to. But that's a secondary question to morality.
Silence is complicity
Instead, what Harris and Looney did in that meeting on behalf of the institution has never been investigated — or really even acknowledged as anything unusual — by the Polk School District. It has not appeared in any report, although I have repeatedly raised it with board members and senior staff and the lawyer who recently did our "independent" review, who couldn't stop interrupting and condescending to me.
I have spoken with multiple people who attended that Tenoroc meeting. They felt intimidated. And the Polk School District officially does not care. About the only hint of its enormity comes from Tim Harris' decision not to run for re-election, which he announced shortly afterward.
If you want to know why I cannot simply walk away from the Looney question, it's because of what this institution did on August 31, in the community's name and in my name. In this case, I think silence is complicity. I have a responsibility to the institution and my community not to be silent. Because this could happen again tomorrow. To anyone of any race or ethnicity or sexuality. I'm not aware of any institutional efforts to prevent such a thing from happening in the future. I have asked for them, repeatedly.
I also have a deep responsibility to the hurt of Brandi Garcia Blanchard and Juanita McCoy. Both are human beings who have suffered deeply for their lack of power within our institution, as minority women often do in large organizations.
What The Ledger didn't quote
I said all of this directly to the citizens who came to speak to me at Tuesday night's board meeting. In all but the most literal sense, The Ledger was quite wrong when it said:
It was a sobering reprimand of Townsend, who did not immediately respond to any of the comments made Tuesday evening.
I explained the "why" of all of this clearly before the speakers began to talk. I looked many of them in the eyes while I spoke. And I challenged the speakers, before they spoke, to issue a clear statement of support for the institution's handling of the Looney issue. I challenged them to endorse what Tim Harris and Jason Looney did on Aug. 31. None of them took me up on that. Not even Don Brown. He praised Tim for going, but then hedged and said something about Tim not having all the information. None of them was willing to offer a full-throated endorsement of institutional witness intimidation.
See what I said for yourself on this video. It starts at 1:08:00.
For some reason, the District doesn't include citizen comments on its YouTube videos of meetings. I think that's silly. But that's why this tape stops before the citizens begin their comments. I will try to get my own full version up when I get a little time.
One thing I didn't say, which I probably should have: I don't want to fire the superintendent. I think there are people who are worried about that. But these institutional issues far pre-date her. I want to see commitment and progress on fixing them. I think the record shows that when she and I are aligned, good things happen. I want to align with her to build a better, kinder, more transparent, and more just organization.
Questioning or challenging is not berating
The Ledger, I think, also got it wrong with its headline.
"Black leaders berate Billy Townsend at School Board"
It's pretty hard to imagine any newspaper ever referring to "white leaders" berating somebody. As always, individual human beings determine their leaders. It always seems condescending to me to tell people who leads them.
More importantly, I don't even think Don Brown "berated" me. I didn't feel berated. Maybe I just have a high threshold for beration; but I think power — elected and otherwise — expects way, way, way too much deference. I don't expect any, really, from the public.
Rather, I felt questioned and called out by people with concerns who do not have the level of detailed information about all of this that I have. And why should they? I've spent a year fighting to understand this matter from an institutional point-of-view. They haven't. Without that information, they have to see the world through the lens of their personal experiences. The Ledger certainly has not helped them understand it.
Black Americans have regularly been on the suffering side of abuses of power in American history. Those experiences, like the monument that remains Lakeland's centerpiece, impose a heavy weight on me or any other person of some official power trying to act in the service of justice, especially when that justice comes with racial implications. You can either hide from that fact — or face it. I won't hide.
Indeed, after the meeting, I was able to catch up to and speak personally with several of the citizens, many of whom I know pretty well already. We talked person-to-person, like people. I told them why I thought they were wrong. And I asked several of them to consider why the fate of minority women who claim they've been victimized by institutional power — including an African-American teacher caught unfairly in the criminal justice system — didn't seem to concern them.
Anyway, maybe I've lost support from them forever. Maybe I haven't. Either way, I care about this community, justice, and holding power accountable for its own sake, not for what political or personal benefit it may or may not provide.
Surrendering advantage
One of America's finest chroniclers of segregation is a reporter/writer named Nikole Hannah-Jones. She wrote a beautiful and challenging story a couple years ago about finding an elementary school for her daughter.
It included this sentence, which has haunted me ever since I read it.
True integration, true equality, requires a surrendering of advantage, and when it comes to our own children, that can feel almost unnatural.
I'm going to be exploring that quote in a future piece through the lens of our District, which looks so much like America that it hurts sometimes. Our kids are 39 percent white, 36 percent Hispanic, 20 percent black, and 5 percent other. I wake up every morning thinking about how to make that work.
For now, let's just say this: arguably the greatest "advantage" of power is the ability to ignore people who don't have it. As a writer with a public platform — and now as an elected official — I try very very hard to surrender that advantage. I don't pretend to succeed at all times; but I try.
As I told the deputy superintendent in a good meeting yesterday, everybody gets to yell at me. You can call me a racist, a godless heathen, libtard, or whatever you want. I've been called all of those things. I don't care. My obligation is to listen and answer the questions implicit in your critiques. If you're right, it's my obligation to tell you so and change my thinking.
If you're wrong, it's my obligation to explain why — calmly, forcefully, and with principle. And then it's my obligation to accept the public's judgements.

I don't think you're a racist. I think that's a dagger leveled at someone because it's effective and the accusation requires no defense once it's been made. That's how many members of the left wing work. You just became the target of their ire and probably can see how it feels to simply disagree with Obama's policies, for example, and have that charge made against you. It's a sickness.
I do think there's an issue with the Looney situation, but I think you're overreaching on K12.
"The question is not if we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists." ― Martin Luther King Jr.
Thank you for your courage, Billy.
I think the core of what you are raising is the fact that there are many unanswered questions in all of this, from Looney to K-12…All of the answers to these unanswered questions could find absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing…or they could be a smoking gun. However – it remains that there are holes and inconsistencies in the issues that have been raised.
I vote for my public officials because I expect them to hold our institutions to a moral, ethical and overall higher standard. So far, Mr. Townsend is the only board member doing so.
Sandy Stenoff says:
This is disturbing. Mr. Harris' behavior compounds the problem, weakening public trust. Stories like this cause the public to tar all educators with the same brush. Conduct unbecoming…
Meanwhile, women with a real grievance are still working under Assistant Principal Looney's authority, and as you note, women of color are even more vulnerable than their white counterparts.
You make an interesting point about the district not sharing public comments on YouTube. Some districts are very transparent. Others, like Orange, move in the opposite direction to not even recording public comments any longer. Someone is served by such a policy, but it's surely not the public.
As a board member, is that policy something you can change in Polk, or possibly even in the FSBA?
Sue Jones says:
I truly don't take much the Ledger publishes to heart. I have seen too many inaccuracies. That being said, I support what you are saying. I am a retired teacher and have seen instances of being "on the outside" and no matter what you do, it will not be right. There are too many stories concerning the Loonies…. one might be a revenge story, but several indicates to me "that where there is smoke, there is fire." Keep doing what you are doing. I voted for you….. I appreciate your voice… and hope to be sending you some friends in November!
Www.Breinestorm.Net says:
This is actually useful, thanks.
Steve Abney says:
I don't think you are overreaching on K12. The district is supposed to have three providers of online education. How are those selected? Do we have an open request for proposal, technical evaluation by unbiased experts, review of past performance? Do we periodically rebid this? Are relationships with past administrators impacting the procurement decision?
In othef words, are we following best contracting practice?

Hilary Yip
July 8, 2021 June 6, 2021 by Matthew Rusk
Cello & Piano Teacher in London
I have started my BMus (Hons) Performance (piano) degree at the Royal College of Music in September. I have had some experience in teaching piano and cello previously, mainly non-official teaching for my family and friends. I would like to expand this as a career and work with other students as well.
I have been a principal cellist for two years in secondary school, as well as a soprano section leader for one year, which has helped me in enhanced my skills in coaching. I have experience in not necessarily teaching young children, but working with them. I believe I am able to work with young children as well as in music teaching.
I have also completed my ABRSM Grade 8 theory examination with merit. I will be able to teach the theory of grades 1-5.
Furthermore, I have achieved "Distinction" in my dipABRSM piano examination, as well as "Merit" in my ABRSM cello examination. I believe that I would be able to work with aspiring pianists and cellists in a wide range of age groups and help them explore music in a fun way.
Having developed a strong passion for music since a young age, Hilary has engaged in music activities extensively, performing in various venues, including Hong Kong, Italy, the USA and more. She started taking piano lessons at the age of six and later on engaged in activities of other music disciplines. Apart from playing as a solo pianist, she has engaged in playing as an accompanist, in piano duets, ensembles and chamber music. Determined to broaden her horizons and have the opportunity to exchange thoughts of music with different people, she has played in many masterclasses and participated in music festivals, allowing her to enrich her musical knowledge and perspective on music.
Over the years, she has been participating in a diverse range of competitions. She has participated in different competition classes in the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival competition, including piano solos and duets, for more than 10 years, having been awarded first place in piano solo and third place in a piano duet. At the same time, she has participated in a variety of international music competitions. For instance, she has joined in the piano solo category of the Osaka International Music Competition – Hong Kong Semi-finals in August 2019, being awarded second place and the qualification to participate in the final rounds, which took place in Osaka in October the same year. Competitions have helped her gained a lot of inspiration in expressing music and also in the aspect of strengthening her musicianship.
I teach my lessons from a teaching space located on Goldhawk Road, London W12 9PL, UK. My full teaching address will be provided upon your first lesson booking. I also offer online and mobile lessons (subject to my availability and your location). For more information about my music lessons simply get in touch.

The Aston Defibrillator fund was established in 2019 in memory of Keith Aston, a local campaigner and CPR champion, who dedicated the last nine years of his life to teaching CPR and raising awareness of the vital role community defibrillators can play in a successful resuscitation.
Keith was inspired to do this after he suffered a cardiac arrest in September 2009, and his life was saved by a passing motorist who gave him CPR until the emergency services arrived. He made a full recovery and from that day, dedicated his time and energy to paying his second chance at life forward. He tracked down the motorist, Joanna Michaelides, and together they set up a training scheme to teach CPR in their local community. Since 2010, over 1000 people have been trained, some of whom have gone on to save lives themselves.
Keith's passion and mission included promoting the use of defibrillators and he established a steering group to look at providing these life-saving machines in his local area. The number of public access defibrillators in Farnham grew from 2 to 16 and he formed a steering group in partnership with the town council. His dedication, enthusiasm and commitment were inspirational. Sadly, Keith died from a stroke in June 2018, while out riding his beloved bike. The ADF was established in his honour, to continue the incredible work he did in the community, with the primary aim to focus on the provision, placement and maintenance of defibrillators in Farnham and surrounding areas. So far over £11,000 has been pledged to the fund, so the fund is already starting to upgrade some of the older existing defibrillators.
If you are in any way worried about a person checking defibrillators around town a list of our volunteers is below. These volunteers have all been trained on the simple checks to ensure the equipment is ready for use by any member of the public:
Alan Jones Dick Bridger Ian Crowe Jim Lawson Joanna Michaelides
Mike Bassett Peter Glover Phil Williams Ray Brown Tania Barella

ADF Founders & Trustees
"I was the passing motorist who gave CPR to Keith in 2009. That simple action on an unremarkable, until then, afternoon in September has entirely changed the course of my life, completely for the better. As well as establishing Heartstart Farnham Lions with Keith to train people in CPR, I have also changed my career and now teach first aid for St John Ambulance and I am starting training with the ambulance service as a community first responder. I have seen first-hand what a difference knowing some simple skills and using a defibrillator can make. It's an honour to be a trustee of the ADF and to be a small part of continuing Keith's amazing legacy."
Jo Michaelides
"I attended a Heartstart course in 2011 as I felt I should know these simple skills. I became aware after a few months that I had not retained much and was delighted when I was welcomed back to a second course. It was then thats the skills became clear in my mind. Keith Astons' saying of 'Don't be a bystander' really resonated with me so I committed to become a trainer and to help others gain these simple skills. But even with the best training in the world, you really need the right equipment to maximise the chance of full recovery from a cardiac arrest - so I committed to try to do all I can to get the defibrillators in place in Farnham, our local community and make sure they are maintained well. I hope by doing so we will encourage others not to be bystanders, but to gain the skills and get involved with us. There is nothing more powerful and rewarding to know you have contributed to saving someones life."
Keith Harris
"I've worked in cardiac care for over three decades, running a hospital cardiac care unit, leading a Department of Health team on heart disease policy, and as a consultant cardiac nurse and regional head of heart & stroke in an ambulance service. I've seen first hand, countless times, how rapid defibrillation can make a real difference for cardiac arrest patients. I now undertake research in cardiac arrest and other acute cardiac problems, and have international roles in research and education. I volunteer as clinical director of HeartStart Farnham Lions. I now want to help save lives in our local community."

In this podcast on matrix working, Kevan Hall, CEO of Global Integration, examines the issues facing individuals working in matrix organizations, and summarises some of the skills people need to develop in order to address them.
Abridged transcript for anyone reading on RSS or via a mobile – player at bottom of page.
What do you mean by matrix working?
We make a clear distinction between what we call matrix working and the matrix structure.
Matrix working is work that crosses the traditional vertical reporting lines of function and geography. So cross-functional virtual teams and international working are all examples of matrix working. Some companies then go on to use a formal matrix organization structure, where someone will have multiple reporting lines and several bosses. Matrix working is now everywhere. Matrix structures are increasingly the structure of choice for large, complex organizations.
What is different about working in this matrix style?
Matrix working has big consequences for both leadership and team co-operation.(There is further information about these issues on our website. In this podcast I'm going to focus on personal effectiveness skills – the skills that individuals need to succeed in this complex environment.
What are the new skills that people need to be successful in this environment?
We use a model called the matrix pyramid to describe this. At the top of the pyramid is understanding your matrix. We work with clients to make sure individuals have a very clear understanding of why they are working in a matrix, how is it likely to affect them, and what are the advantages and challenges both for the organization and for them personally. We find that even when companies have communicated their matrix objectives and structure well, it's still important to give individuals time to understand it and apply it to their own circumstances.
Next, we focus on how participants build, engage and work their networks. Networks are how things really get done in a matrix, not through the formal structure. We train participants to map and analyse their networks: the ones they really need to get things done.
There are also some new insights coming from the field of social network analysis on the characteristics and principles of effective networks, which we can share. Then we move on and look at five what you might call supporting skills that form the basis of the matrix pyramid.
What do you mean by "supporting skills"?
These are the suite of tools and skills you need to improve personal effectiveness in this matrixed, networked environment.
The first is managing ambiguity. A matrix is characterised by competing objectives, multiple reporting lines and a generally higher level of ambiguity than simpler, functional organizations. Managing this involves making sure you get the information you need to resolve ambiguity where you can. And part is learning to accept that not everything is clear – and how you deal with this.
The second supporting skill is learning how to shape your own role, because in a matrix we have several bosses and a wider range of perspectives and career options. We need to take more personal control over shaping both our current and future roles. People who draw their boxes too tightly tend not to be successful in an ambiguous matrix environment.
How do people really get things done in this type of ambiguous environment?
A matrix undermines traditional hierarchy and authority. To animate your matrix network you need to exercise influence without authority. People who rely too much on traditional power and authority tend to be unsuccessful in a matrix, where expertise, relationships and influence become much more powerful.
Why do you think that authority is a less efficient way of getting things done in a matrix?
Partly because activities such as teams and projects don't reflect the traditional reporting lines any more, and partly because authority is shared between multiple bosses. And the skills of managing multiple bosses is the fourth supporting skill. As individuals in the matrix, we have to make sure our bosses are aligned, and that they're confident to delegate to us and leave us to get on with things. I sometimes call this 'earning the right to be left alone'.
So what is the fifth supporting skill?
The final supporting skill is managing competing priorities. Multiple reporting lines and different demands on our time means that goals and objectives may compete and even conflict. In matrix working we need to resolve or escalate these conflicts in a positive way, so we don't look incompetent.
Are these challenges are in addition to your daytime job?
It does sound more complex, but the reward is often in broader and more rewarding roles for individuals. In order to make the matrix really work, we need ensure that individuals have the skills, the authority and the information to make decisions and be effective.
What happens if we don't?
Expect to see a lot of escalation and delay in decision-making!

Q: Convert Date Range to Individual Days A table called VolumeRequest stores the volume requests by accounts for a date range.
AccountId   StartDate                       EndDate                   DailyVolume
670         2013-07-01 00:00:00.000         2013-07-31 00:00:00.000   10
670         2013-07-01 00:00:00.000         2013-07-31 00:00:00.000   1050
670         2013-07-10 00:00:00.000         2013-07-10 00:00:00.000   -350
670         2013-07-24 00:00:00.000         2013-07-26 00:00:00.000   -350

I need to display the requests on daily basis where volume is summed by day by account for a given date range like for month of July the report is like below. The date start and end dates of the volume requests need to be trimmed for the given report dates
AccountId   Date                         Volume
670         2013-07-01 00:00:00.000      1060

673         2013-07-31 00:00:00.000      233

Right now I am using table Variables and loops to achieve it which I know is not a good way to code.
DECLARE @sDate DATETIME, @eDate DATETIME , @volume DECIMAL (10, 4),  rstartdate DATETIME, @renddate   DATETIME , @loopcount   INT
SET @sdate = '4/1/2013'
SET @edate = '4/30/2013'

DECLARE @VolumeRequest TABLE
  (
     ID        INT IDENTITY (1, 1) PRIMARY KEY,
     Aid       INT,
     Startdate DATETIME,
     Enddate   DATETIME,
     volume    DECIMAL (14, 4)
  )
DECLARE @DailyRequest TABLE
  (
     ID        INT IDENTITY (1, 1) PRIMARY KEY,
     Accountid INT,
     ReadDate  DATETIME,
     Volume    DECIMAL (14, 4)
  )

    INSERT INTO @VolumeRequest
      SELECT Accountid,
             ( CASE
                 WHEN @sdate > startdate THEN @sdate
                 ELSE startdate
               END ),
             ( CASE
                 WHEN @edate < enddate THEN @edate
                 ELSE enddate
               END ),
             dailyvolume
      FROM   VolumeRequest
      WHERE  Startdate <= @edate
             AND Enddate >= @sdate
             AND isnull (deprecated, 0) != 1

      --loop to breakdown the volume requests into daily requests
      SET @loopcount = 1

      WHILE @loopcount <= (SELECT MAX(ID)
                                FROM   @VolumeRequest)
        BEGIN
            SELECT @volume = volume,
                   @rstartdate = Startdate,

                  SET @rstartdate = DATEADD(day, 1, @rstartdate)
              END

            SET @LoopCount = @LoopCount + 1
        END

I am looking for ways which don't involve loops or cursors. I found a Similar Question. The answers there didn't help me.

A: I like to use a Dates table such as
CREATE TABLE #Dates(
    DateId INT,
    CalendarDate DATETIME)

filled with dates for whatever range you need.  I use this table to join to tables such as VolumeRequest to retrieve the output you requested.
SELECT
    v.AccountId,
    d.CalendarDate,
    SUM(v.DailyVolume)
FROM
    #Dates d INNER JOIN
    VolumeRequest v ON
        d.CalendarDate >= v.StartDate AND
        d.CalendarDate <= v.EndDate
group by
    d.CalendarDate,
    v.AccountId

to fill the #Dates table, I use something like this:
declare @startdate datetime = '6/1/13', @enddate datetime = '7/31/13'

create table #Dates(CalendarDate datetime)

insert into #Dates(CalendarDate)
select
    dateadd(dd, rid-1, @startdate) as calendardate
from (
    select
        ROW_NUMBER() over(order by o.object_id) as rid
    From
        sys.objects o cross apply
        sys.objects o2
) dates
where
    dateadd(dd, rid-1, @startdate) >= @startdate and dateadd(dd, rid-1, @startdate) <= @enddate

Modify to meet your date range needs.

A: SQLFiddle demo
Using WITH clause and recursion we generate Days table with all days between MIN and MAX dates.
Then generate table Accounts with distinct AccountID.
Finally JOIN all these tables and group all with SUM.
WITH MINMAX as
( SELECT MIN(StartDate) as MinDate,
         MAX(EndDate) as MaxDate
  from T
),
DAYS as
( SELECT MinDate as D from MINMAX
  UNION ALL
  SELECT D+1 as D FROM DAYS WHERE D+1<=
    (
      SELECT MaxDate FROM MINMAX
     )
),
Accounts as
(
  select distinct AccountID from T

select A.AccountId,Days.D,sum(T.DailyVolume) from Days
CROSS JOIN Accounts A
JOIN T on A.AccountID=T.AccountID
          AND

Jerusalem is a great family travel destination. There are activities for kids of all ages including interactive games that teach history, extreme sports, nature activities, art experiences, food, culture and more. The summer city calendar is filled with special exhibitions, festivals and events. It's hard to choose the top 10 but as the editor of Fun In Jerusalem we test out each activity on our own little focus group and these are our picks.
3. The Shuk Dash: The Mahane Yehuda Market also known as the Shuk is a great place to experience smells, taste and the variety of cultures in Jerusalem. This fun and exciting game is a great way to entertain the kids. Family Tip: Reserve a private game or join a pay per person Shuk Dash.
4. Ropes Course at Ammunition Hill: If your kids like extreme sports and being active then this is the perfect activity to do in such a unique location symbolizing Jerusalem's history. Family Tip: This activity can be great for the whole family. The guide gears the challenges to the age of the kids.
5. Segway Ride at the Armon Hanetziv Promenade (16+): Take a ride on Jerusalem's most modern form of transportation and feel like you are flying while you hear stories about Jerusalem's history and neighborhoods of today. The Promenade in Armon Hanetziv has a great view over the Old City. Family Tip: Great activity for a 16 year old birthday gift.
6. Jerusalem Beach at First Station: YES there is a beach in Jerusalem with sand, simulated surf machine, umbrellas and beach toys. This is one of my favorite new places in Jerusalem. No matter day or night you will feel the great vibe at the First Station. Family Tip: This is also a great place to rent a family bike to take down Milton's Way at Smart Tour.
7. talkcafé: There is no better way to learn some key new Hebrew phrases than from a Talkcafe. Grab a coffee and enjoy a relaxed Hebrew conversation led by a moderator in one of Jerusalem's favorite cafes. Family Tip: Talkcafe has just introduced the Choko Talk for kids. Tourist kids can learn new words in Hebrew and local kids can learn words they will be hearing on the playground.
9. National Parks: Visit one of the many Israeli National Parks this summer near Jerusalem. For history visit Castel, Ir David, Beit Guvrin Caves or Masada. For natural beauty visit the Stalactite Caves and Ein Hemed. Family Tip: If you plan to take your whole family and visit more than one park make sure to purchase the National Parks Family Membership in advance. It comes with lots of great savings.
10. Jerusalem Festivals: The summer calendar in Jerusalem is filled with festivals the entire family can enjoy including the Children's Film Festival, International Puppet Festival, Formula One The Peace Road, Hutzot Haoyotzer and the Jerusalem Theater End of Summer Festival.
Family Tip: Check the concert schedule at Hutzot Hayotzer before you decide which night to go. The concert is included in the ticket price and showcases Israel's best talent.
If you are looking for some new and creative idea check out a list of FUN Things to Do in Jerusalem and choose the type of activity you most enjoy.
Author's Note: As I am writing this piece the rockets continue to fall across the country, being shot from Gaza. I hope that Operation Protective Edge will end quickly but in the meantime stay informed about what to do during a Red Alert siren at Jerusalem's most popular attractions.

How often do you step into the unknown with confidence?
Today is August 13 and the Navigate the Chaos question to consider is "how often do you step into the unknown with confidence?" People who navigate the chaos know that striding into the unknown with confidence is a necessity if they are to translate their dreams into reality. Today's post reviews the extraordinary life of John Gilbert Winant, who many could label 'the most famous New Hampshire politician you may never have heard of.' Born in New York City, Winant attended St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire. He would attend Princeton University, but his poor grades led him to leave without graduating. He would return to St. Paul's to teach history until 1916 when won election to the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 1916.
In 1917, he enlisted as a private in the United States Army Air Service, trained as a pilot, and commanded the 8th Aero Squadron (Observation) in France. At the time of his discharge two years later he had earned the rank of captain. Winant commanded an observation squadron that worked behind enemy lines. After returning to civilian life Winant married Constance Rivington Russell of Princeton on December 20, 1919. After the war, Winant came back to Concord, and in 1924, ran for Governor as a progressive Republican concerned about the working class. After a few years out of office, Winant regained the Governor's seat just as the Great Depression was taking hold.
His personal acts of charity throughout his life would become legend. Prior to leaving for the war his monthly milk bill was extremely high because he ensured less fortunate families received such an important staple. As Governor he walked into his office one day wet and cold from the snow. When asked what happened to his coat Winant responded "Well, I saw somebody on the way in today that needed it more, and I gave it to him." In February 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Winant ambassador to Great Britain; a post he remained in until he resigned in March 1946. Upon landing at Bristol airport in England in March 1941, Winant announced, "I'm very glad to be here. There is no place I'd rather be at this time than in England." The remark heartened the country and British newspapers featured it dramatically on the front pages the next day.
During the Battle of Britain, Winant walked the streets of London, ablaze from the aerial bombardments, aiding the injured amid the rubble of their homes and stores. His shy sincerity and quiet fearlessness endeared him to the British people, King George VI, and Prime Minister Winston Churchill and helped buoy the beleaguered nation. Throughout the war, Winant drove himself relentlessly, day and night. He was already utterly exhausted when Roosevelt's death in April 1945 robbed him of his close friend and mentor. He now reported to the new U.S. President Harry Truman, a man who neither knew Winant well nor appreciated the extent of his wartime efforts.
Then, three months later, a landslide victory by the Labor Party swept Churchill out of office. Everywhere Winant turned, he saw the drama in which he had participated so significantly drawing to a close. In March 1946, President Truman appointed a new ambassador to London. Winant returned home. Back in New Hampshire, Winant's frustrations grew. He hoped to become secretary-general of the new United Nations organization, but such an offer never materialized.
After three decades of public life, he had to accommodate himself to the quieter pace of a private citizen. He was in debt, under pressure to complete a series of books on his experiences, estranged from his socially ambitious wife, and distraught over his affair with Sarah Churchill who had declined his marriage proposal. Despite his many public achievements, a lifetime of care for others, and his great capacities for public service, Winant, as James O. Freedman observed "held no protection against the melancholia and hopelessness that ultimately overwhelmed him."
On November 3, 1947, the very day that his only book, Letter from Grosvenor Square, was published, he committed suicide at his home in Concord. His publisher had rushed a copy of the book to him, but Winant never saw it. Winant was buried at Blossom Hill cemetery in Concord; his wish to be buried in the St Paul's School's consecrated cemetery refused by the Episcopalian rector on the grounds that suicide was a sin. However, in the more secular culture of 1968, his casket was exhumed and reinterred at St Paul's. His epitaph was one of his most famous quotes from a 1946 speech:
"Doing the day's work, day by day, doing a little, adding a little, broadening our bases wanting not only for ourselves but for others also, a fairer chance for all people everywhere. Forever moving forward, always remembering that it is the things of the spirit that in the end prevail. That caring counts and that where there is no vision the people perish. That hope and faith count and that without charity, there can be nothing good. That having dared to live dangerously, and in believing in the inherent goodness of man, we can stride forward into the unknown with growing confidence."
And herein lies the irony of navigating the chaos. Winant was a man of extraordinary achievement. His career from high school teacher to military hero, to Governor, and then Ambassador was remarkable. As one observer noted "by drawing upon an elevated spirit and an unswerving idealism, this quiet man from a small state contributed greatly to the nation's coral reef of character."
As with every single person mentioned in the Navigate the Chaos series, it is essential to remember their humanity. Winant figured out how to Navigate the Chaos of his professional life up until1946. With a broken heart, no clear next step, and a sense of despair, Winant was unable to, in his own words "stride forward into the unknown with confidence."
My wish is that you never stop striding forward in the unknown with confidence. Every day counts. Every day offers a chance to move forward. Every day, no matter how stormy the weather, how dark the night, or how shattered the heart, every day provides an opportunity to stride forward into the unknown with confidence. Trust that you can leverage your mind, body, and spirit to stride forward.
How often are you helping to provide for a fairer chance for all people everywhere?
Do you remind yourself that 'it is the things of the spirit that in the end prevail?'
When is the last time you told yourself 'that hope and faith count and that without charity, there can be nothing good?'
Do you believe in the inherent goodness of man?
How often do you stride forward into the unknown with confidence?
Take Calculated Risks
How often do you remind yourself that what you do is not who you are?

Q: Merge not respecting ON in SQL I have a set of Merge statements I am running in Advantage SQL, but I am finding some aren't working. I know why, but not sure where in my script it's making it go wrong. See the script below. In the ON statement, the part where it says optionaltype in ('O', 'C', 'U') is where it's going wrong I believe. In the #tmpappoint table, there are no optionaltypes of O, C or U, but rather L, but it seems we aren't disregarding this statement, and we are looking to bring through the optionalid from #tmpappoint regardless, despite this being an optionaltype of L. Unfortunately, the optionalids of L are not officer codes that can be found in another table, so therefore I get the error.
What can I do in this statement to disregard anything that's not O, C or U as I can't fathom this one?
merge pcevactor ev
using #tmpappoint ap
on (ev.evid = ap.evid and
ev.officer = ap.optionalid and
optionaltype in ('O', 'C', 'U'))
when matched then
update set
roles=trim(replace (roles,'C',''))+'C'
when not matched then
insert
(
evid,
officer,
readstatus,
flagstatus,
roles)
values
(ap.evid,
ap.optionalid,
'U',
'-',
'C');

A: The "problem" you have with a merge is that it will do either one thing, or another. If the join condition works out, records are updated in pcevactor. If the join doesnt work out, records are inserted into pcevactor
You seem to be saying that your #tmpappoint table is currently full of type 'L', so the join condition will NOT work out and the INSERT will always be used.
If you want the UPDATE to occasionally be used (i.e. if ev.evid = ap.evid and
ev.officer = ap.optionalid works out) in the case of 'L' in the #tmpappoint then you'll have to put 'L' into the IN as well:
optionaltype in ('L', 'O', 'C', 'U'))

If #tmpappoint contains all sorts of codes and you only want to do the 'L' ones right now, refine the #tmpappoint table at source:
merge pcevactor ev
using (Select * from #tmpappoint where optionaltype = 'L') ap
on (... and
optionaltype in ('L', 'O', 'C', 'U'))
...

Remember that the table or query after the USING in a merge statement is the set of data that drives the merge; only those rows in ap (be it a query or a table) will be searched for in pcevactor and updates or inserts will be made as necessary. Rows not mentioned in ap are not touched

By extension of the above:
If #tmpappoint contains all sorts of codes and you DON'T want to do anything other than O, C, U ones right now, refine the #tmpappoint table at source (and remove the merge condition as it is no longer needed):
merge pcevactor ev
using (Select * from #tmpappoint where optionaltype in ('O', 'C', 'U')) ap
on (ev.evid = ap.evid and
    ev.officer = ap.optionalid
)
when matched then

If your data in #tmppappoint is deficient in some way, like when optionaltype of 'L' means it's the offcier's badge_number rather than their employee_number that needs to be used as the ID, you can manipulate the data by way of a query before trying to merge it:
MERGE ...
USING (
  SELECT
    ...,
    --let's change what we put in optionalid depending on the code
    CASE
      WHEN code = 'L' THEN badges.badge_number
      ELSE t.employee_number
    END as optionalid,
    ...
  FROM
    #tmpappoint t
    JOIN
    badges ON badges.officer_code = t.officer_code
  ...

In this case, if it's an L, then we put e.g. their badge number in as the ID, otherwise we put the officer_code in.. We're preprocessing the data to make the merge's ON conditions work out

Home / Rufino Tamayo
Rufino del Carmen Arellanes Tamayo (August 25, 1899 – June 24, 1991) was a Mexican painter of Zapotec heritage, born in Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico. Tamayo was active in the mid-20th century in Mexico and New York, painting figurative abstraction with surrealist influences. Rufino Tamayo, along with other muralists such as Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros, represented the twentieth century in their native country of Mexico. After the Mexican Revolution, Tamayo devoted himself to creating a distinct identity in his work. He expressed what he envisioned as the traditional Mexico and eschewed the overt political art of such contemporaries as José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, Oswaldo Guayasamin and David Alfaro Siqueiros. He disagreed with these muralists in their belief that the revolution was necessary for the future of Mexico but considered, instead, that the revolution would harm Mexico. Rufino Tamayo's legacy in the history of art lies in his oeuvre of original graphic prints in which he cultivated every technique. Rufino Tamayo's graphic work, produced between 1925 and 1991, includes woodcuts, lithographs, etchings and "Mixografia" prints. With the help of Mexican printer and engineer Luis Remba, Tamayo expanded the technical and aesthetic possibilities of the graphic arts by developing a new medium which they named Mixografia. This technique is a unique fine art printing process that allows for the production of prints with three-dimensional texture.

Below: March 27, 1994 L.A. Times multi-page ad for the May concert dates.
Barbra postponed four scheduled shows (May 25, 27, 29 and 31) in Anaheim when it was announced she was suffering from viral tracheolaryngitis.
10. I always wanted to spend four hot, muggy days in Anaheim in the middle of July.
After a string of successful shows in New York, Barbra returned to the West Coast to perform four shows at Anaheim's Arrowhead Pond that wrapped up her 24-show tour.
Her final Anaheim show was videotaped as a television special.
