Overland adventures in India
India has shared so much of its incredible culture with the rest of the world, so a visit to this diverse and eclectic country is a chance to experience where it all began. India has so much to offer, from the beautiful landscapes of the Himalayas, the amazing temples and coastlines, the rich culture, the chaotic cities and of course the amazing food!
India's highlights include its stunning historical treasures such as the ancient cities of Fatehpur Sikri and Hampi, the Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar in Delhi, the phenomenal caves of Ellora and Ajanta, the stunning Shore Temples of Mahabalipuram, and of course the world-famous Taj Mahal.
Temples, plantations & beaches
There are some incredible religious sites, such as the Hindu temples of Madurai and Karmi Mata, and the Buddhist sites of Sikkim. There are some wonderful natural areas such as the vast deserts of Jaisalmer, the cool tea plantations of Wayanad and Darjeeling, the mountains of Gangtok, and the incredible beaches of Varkala and Goa.
Foremost a visit to India is probably best remembered by the welcome you are likely to receive. This, combined with India's unique atmosphere and the seemingly endless variety of the culture and the sights, is what brings travellers returning time and time again.

The Taj Mahal is by far the most recognisable icon of India. One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, coming face-to-face with this magnificent building never disappoints.
Built between 1632-1653 CE by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the spectacular building was a mausoleum in memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth to their 14th child. Because of this origin, the building is often described as a "monument to love".
It took over 20,000 labourers and skilled craftsmen to built it, some of whom were brought in from all over India, Central Asia and even Europe to work on the marble inlay work and complex decorations. The site has been described by UNESCO as being "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage".
The Taj Mahal is fantastic to explore at any time of the day, but the early mornings are the best - sitting quietly and watching as the iridescent white marble takes on a soft morning glow is a memory you will never forget.
Jodhpur, situated on the edge of the Thar Desert, is affectionately known as the "Blue City" of Rajasthan due to its many indigo coloured houses in the old town. These are best seen from the ramparts of the mighty Mehrangarh Fortress, which looms above the bustling city. Built in the late 15th Century CE, the colossal fort of Mehrangarh is the largest in the whole of Rajasthan, and has never been taken by force. The fort complex itself is huge and spreads over the hill looking over Jaipur - it houses the Maharaja's Palace as well as a number of temples, extensive gardens and some of the most well-stocked museums and galleries in all of India.
Elsewhere in the city, Nai Sadak is the place to head for shopping, and the Sardar Market is a riot of sights, sounds and smells that's a baffling assault on the senses. Also in Jodhpur are the historical sites of Jaswant Thada, built at the end of the 19th Century and constructed entirely out of sheets of marble, and Mandore, the ancient capital of Marwar.
Set on the banks of the river Ganges, Varanasi (formerly known as Benares) is the holiest place in the Hindu religion. Hindu pilgrims travel here from all over the world come here to wash away their sins in the blessed river water of the Ganges, and to cremate their loved ones who have passed away. In Hindu mythology, to die in the city of Varanasi will result in instant "moksha", a release from the cycle of death and reincarnation. Varanasi is also the birthplace of Buddhism, as the Buddha is said to have given his first ever sermon at the nearby site of Sarnath in 528 BCE.
Dawn is probably the best time of day to experience the city - by floating down the river on a boat, you can witness thousands of worshippers coming to the river's ghats to purify themselves in their morning rituals. You will also be able to see the burning ghats, where the bodies of the faithful are cremated and their ashes strewn out over the waters. To the Hindu people, Varanasi is a very special and spritual place, and it has a very evocative and sometimes other-wordly atmosphere, although being so close to the intimate rituals of life and death can sometimes leave you feeling a little overwhelmed.
The hinterlands of Odisha are home to more than 60 different tribal communities, all with their own distinct indigenous culture and traditions. Perhaps one of the most fascinating tribes are the 'Bondas', fiercely-independent people of Tibeto-Burmese origin. The women of this tribe wear many silver necklaces from their shoulders up to their chin and prefer to take younger husbands, so that they will have someone to earn a livelihood for them in their old age.
The Paraja tribe are also particularly interesting because of the numerous deities that they worship, who are all said to live in the hills and forests. They also love dance and music, and their celebrations are also accommopanied by a lot of singing and dancing.
This is a remote region which is difficult to visit as a single traveller, and exactly the kind of place where overlanding comes into its own.
To many people, Goa is all about the beaches - and it's fair to say that the soft white sand and sparkling blue water of the Arabian Sea are definitely some of the main attractions here.
But this is also an area rich in history and culture. The coastal state retains much of its old Portuguese colonial architecture, traditions, religion, and lifestyle, particularly in the old capital of Old Goa, where there are several churches, a cathedral and lots of great local markets, all well worth exploring.
Relax under a palm tree on the beach, watch the dhows sailing out into the sunset and see the fishing boats landing their catch, or wander around the local spice plantations revelling in their heady scent - there's something here for all kinds of different travellers. The locals say that time moves more slowly in Goa, so if nothing else it's a brilliant stop for a few days, a great chance to enjoy a bit of tranquility in an often frenetic country.
Goa is also home to some fantastic cuisine, including many fish-based curries, classic Goan pork vindaloo and Feni, a local spirit made from coconut and cashew nuts.

Two Minority Ex-Coaches–Both Caught Faking Race Hate-Crimes
And this year's Tawana Brawley/Al Sharpton Hate-Crime Fakers of the Year Award goes to . . . . Well, it's a tie between Jose Jefferson and James Clay. Both were former sports coaches who were very, um, "creative."
The first dude, Jefferson, had the nerve to fake the hate-crime after he was the beneficiary of affirmative action employment. Chutzpah.
A former football coach was sentenced Tuesday morning to a year in jail for making racially charged threats to employees at Ameritas, where he worked. . . .
An anonymous letter showed up on Jefferson's desk at Ameritas, where he was working as a licensed insurance broker. When he tried to find out who sent it, [his] attorney [David Watermeier] said, he was rebuked.
Watermeier said co-workers resented that Jefferson had been hired through a friend and considered him less qualified.
Jefferson now accepts responsibility for writing two anonymous letters in response that anonymously threatened death to all blacks and said one who worked there would be killed on a date in February.
Ameritas gave black employees the option of not coming to work for two days, police said.
In March, police arrested Jefferson and Christina Donald, who has admitted helping Jefferson write the letters. She is awaiting sentencing.
I hate to sound like a liberal in saying that I feel partially sorry for this guy because he has two sons with cerebral palsy. But I do. Still, faking racist death threats is inexcusable. And the way you show co-workers that you deserved your job is by working hard and doing it well, not faking racist death threats so you look like a victim.
If I were the judge, I'd probably have sentenced him to a year of community service to victims of Black-on-White racism and/or crimes. But I note that a White guy in his shoes–faking/making death threats–would have been thrown in the slammer, like he will be.
Far worse, though, is the case of James Clay, who deserves every day of his sentence:
A former high school basketball coach in Ohio has been sentenced to four years in prison for setting fire to his home, which prosecutors said he had done to portray himself as the victim of a hate crime.
Authorities who responded to the fire at James Clay's house in Troy found a spray-painted racial slur on his car.
The 2007 fire came days after Clay, who is black, was charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl.
At a sentencing hearing Monday, Judge Robert Lindeman told Clay that the community was the real victim.
The 42-year-old Clay was convicted Sept. 3 of aggravated arson. The four-year prison sentence will be added to a five-year term he is serving for sexual battery.
Two men who cried "wolf."

It demeans and injures victims of real racism when people concoct fake racism in order to bring attention to themselves. And not in a good way.
Good riddance!

Debbie, I just loved the way you use to blow a hole in the lone wolf theories of all the Muslims (would be terrorists acts), including groups and individuals.
The equation always equals Muslims!, if it quacks like a duck?
I miss those kinds of observations you made!, for as you know!, more and more of these clowns will be coming out of the woodwork!
bruce converse on September 23, 2009 at 12:08 am
OK, so now that criticizing blacks in society will be against the law soon because Obama cant be criticized without you being called a racist. I am glad I voted for Alan Keyes. Every time some fool calls me a racist if I trash Obama, I tell them "I voted for a Black President, his name is Alan Keyes." Remember Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton were called racists. Geraldine Ferraro, too. LOL!! Granted there are examples of racist critics. That is something the GOP should explain. There will always be racists, however legitimate criticisms can occur without silencing all opposition. When the leaders can't explain that the liberal drumbeat floods the discussion.
Oh sh*t, Condaleeza Rice said we would be attacked if we pull out of Afghanistan. Now how is the MSM and liberals gonna spin that comment to be racist? And if Jimmy Carter said all criticisms are racist then what explains Jimmy's sh*tty presidency?
These incidents only show the power of racial victimization. Both knew there was benefit to being on the victim side of a hate crime, but they got caught. They didn't cry wolf, they cried something more powerful hate victim.
CaliforniaScreaming on September 23, 2009 at 12:10 am
You voted for Alan Keyes? Woohahaha. No, you are not A racist. You just can't even tell black from white.
Color Blind on September 23, 2009 at 12:52 am
The number one example of abusive use of hate crime victim is probably Clarence Thomas. He accused the Senate of "high tech lynching" when the senators asked him about the sexual harassment accusation. That pretty much shut everyone up.
He is now sitting on the Supreme Court representing the the highest law and order for this country.
Thomas on September 23, 2009 at 1:03 am
Have you even thought of being remotely accurate in what you post? Anita Hill and her entourage had more than ample time to make their case, and failed to do so during Senate hearings held at the time. In fact, Ms. Hill was quite happy to follow Mr. Thomas from one position to another during his time in the Reagan Administration, rather than file a civil service or criminal complaint against Mr. Thomas. Mr. Hill was a law school graduate and attorney, and not a lowly clerical.
Sorrow01 on September 23, 2009 at 1:30 am
Sorrow1. The argument you made is the same argument by which the male senators gave Thomas the benefit of the doubt. The senate has tremendous pressure to confirm the the first black supreme court justice unless there is overwhelming proof of wrong doings. As we all know, there was only "He said" and "She said" arguments in the FBI report. The final vote was 52-48. Among the 52 yea votes, many were conservative GOPs who cared more about Thomas' conservative legal view and democrats who were concerned about political black slash if they voted against him.
But if you put the known facts into perspective, reasonable people can see reasonable cause why Anita Hill was reluctant to come forward at the time the alleged incident occurred.
At the time Anita Hill worked for Clarence Thomas, she was 25-26. Smart as she might be, she essentially was socially inexperienced simple person from a small town of Oklahoma. Her race and gender might have helped her to get into Yale and land a good paying job in DC. But it did not help to build her own confidence.
The year was 1981 when Clarence Thomas allegedly started the sexual overture on her. Thomas not only was her boss, he was one of the few fast rising blacks in the bureaucracy and he always carried himself in a very authoritative way. To an inexperience black young woman coming from a southern rural town, Thomas was a very intimidating figure. However as a lawyer, she also fully realized that there was no chance she could prove in the court that Thomas violated the law. After all she was not raped. The most likely result of her complaint would be that she got transferred to an unknown position and it would be a career ender for her in Washington. She would also greatly disappointed her family and hometown people who regarded her as a prodigy since young age.
Weighing her own future and the expectation from her family, she resisted but decided to stay put. In her own word, she said that she subsequently went to EEOC with Thomas because civil right was the area she was interested in and the sexual harassment from Thomas appeared had stopped. In less than a year, she found a faculty position and left the government.
If there were 50% of female senators, Thomas did not have chance as female could probably relate to the indecisiveness to to lack of self confidence. To those macho male politicians, they could not figure out why women could not fight back or just leave when they were abused.
I read your response, and it did not contain anything other than Anita Hill's allegations. Also, your veiled affirmative action slam against her was really pretty amazing:"Her race and gender might have helped her to get into Yale and land a good paying job in DC." It is a racist and sexist remark. Finally, it is unlikely that a Yale Law School graduate would have trouble finding any employment, unless they were academically at the bottom of the barrel.
Sorrow01 on September 23, 2009 at 10:52 pm
[Thomas-The senate has tremendous pressure to confirm the the first black supreme court justice unless there is overwhelming proof of wrong doings.]
Who was Thurgood Marshall, you know the guy whose resignation from the court opened up the seat Thomas was nominated for?
I_AM_ME on September 23, 2009 at 8:03 am
Idiots like this are the kind that give White Nationalists all the ammo they need.
It's a sick thing. But it does happen. Kinda like the dope wrote that fake Book about surviving the Holocaust. Just gives ammo to the haters.

Let's think about this, a fake hate crime while Odopey is campaigning for President. Coincidence?
Jarhead on September 23, 2009 at 11:11 am
People talked about "reverse discrimination" a lot recently. Then we can't forget about "reverse hate crimes." I hope yall still remember Ashley Todd. Although it turned to be a comedy, she could have easily turned on some hot blooded whites if she had done it right.
If you don't remember the name, you should remember her face.

People seem to be angry at fake hate
crimes for good reason. The people doing fake hate crime are trying to
manipulate our sympathy. But fake hate crimes are being staged by people
of all races, black, white, and yes, Jews too.Here is a one from last
year: "Freshman who reported swastikas drew them as
well" If you are only angry at blacks who made up hate crimes
but not whites or Jews, then you are not really unbiased.

You knew this was coming Debbie. Two tiered raced based discipline. In Arizona if you are Black/Hispanic/Mexican you will be disciplined differently than White counterparts. More lenient to minorities. The race card victimization never ends.

I just need to ensure that rows are related when applicable, and item having the description next to it and then having the total relate to the overall table total.

A: No one ever got back to me on this but I eventually found a solution and wanted to post it here so that if anyone else ever runs into this they can use it.
The data tables have a special code that needs to go around them that makes the table loop and pull info into it.

Everyone knows that nuclear power plants are, potentially, very dangerous. But what are some of the advantages of nuclear power? That is what this post will cover.
Nuclear power plants are more efficient than ever before. New technology has made them more reliable (they break down less often) and safer. People for nuclear power argue that this is evidenced by more and more nations (such as China) building nuclear power plants.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is a contentious issue. Proponents of nuclear power argue that, as no coal or fossil fuels are burnt, no carbon dioxide is released into the air. However, uranium has to be mined and transported to the nuclear plant. Both these activities require burning of fuels, so carbon dioxide is released. Also, producing nuclear fuel from the uranium requires a lot of energy, which also contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases.
Although the initial cost of building nuclear plants is high, the running costs are relatively low.
One reason the costs are low is that nuclear plants need only a small amount of uranium to produce a lot of energy. In fact, if the cost of uranium doubled, costs would only be increased by 7%. 1 truck of uranium produces as much energy as 1000 trucks of coal!
Reduces dependence on foreign oils and natural gas (like biofuels). America, for instance, imports a lot of oil and natural gas from other countries. The price of these products is volatile, and change very quickly. If the price increases quickly, consumers have to pay more for their electricity (which they may not be able to afford). Building more nuclear power plants means that Americans will not be susceptible to price rises in oil and gas. President Barack Obama supports this idea of 'energy independence'.
Nuclear wastes can be safely stored underground (another debated issue).
Really helped me with my physics practice paper.
this helped me with my science work thanks mate!!
thanks, this helped with my a-level geography revision!
This helped alot with myself and my groups work on Nuclear Power… thank you!
hey guys this is a great website about nuclear power and even though its good for research you actually learn something from it.
This is really good this helped us with our case study!
I used it for my french homework, cool ah??
This was an amazing website. Very informative and I got an A* for my physics talk thanks to this.
Thank you!! that is so true!! This really helped alot as well for my Physics report!! I cited this page as my reference and i got a full mark for this one, A+!!
this is my favourite site, like, ever!!!!!
guess what? yup… it helped me with my science homework too.
You have helped me greatly in completing my Science Case Study!!!!! I HATE science, but I found this quite interesting!
Great website! I'm probably going to win my debate with these facts.
Great information! Especially like "1 truck of uranium produces as much energy as 1000 trucks of coal!" Very useful for my school debate :)! Would be funny if the person above me was in the same debate lol!

Ride information
Disneyland Park (Paris)
Walkthrough attraction
Audio-Animatronics
Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant (English: The Castle of the Sleeping Beauty) is the fairy tale castle at the center of Disneyland Paris and a continuation of Sleeping Beauty Castle first seen at Disneyland in California.
The Castle features two parts, a dungeon type area in the base featuring an Audio-Animatronic dragon, and above, a concrete balcony walk through area with Sleeping Beauty stained glass windows and tapestries. There are also several shops selling glass figures, ornaments and gifts.
Original concept
"Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland was inspired by the Neuschwanstein Castle in Southern Germany. This European influence was fine for building a castle in Anaheim, but the fact that castles exist just down the road from Disneyland Paris challenged us to think twice about our design." — Tony Baxter, executive designer Walt Disney Imagineering[1]
Since Europe is home to the castles that inspired the structures at Disney's first three parks, Imagineers reconsidered what kind of edifice would stand at the hub of its first European theme park. Many different concepts were then created and considered, ranging from slightly modified versions of Disney's existing castles to radically new structures to stand instead in the Castle's place (for example a Discoveryland-like tower).
The team eventually settled on Imagineer Tom Morris' approach to the established Disney castle. Inspirations cited by Imagineering include illustrations from the book of hours Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry and the Mont Saint-Michel monastery in Normandy. As Charles Perrault had not detailed the castle in his 1697 fairy tale, Imagineering had few restrictions regarding its physical appearance. However, Walt Disney's own 1959 film Sleeping Beauty provided the inspiration for, among other things, the Castle's surrounding square trees.
The realisation of the stained glass windows in London, which are visible in Sleeping Beauty's Gallery, was overseen by Peter Chapman, who had previously worked on the restoration of Notre Dame de Paris.
Completed in 1992, Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant stands 50 meters (160 ft) tall.
The Castle is home to a dragon, which at 27 meters (89 ft) from head to tail was the largest Animatronic figure ever built when the park opened in April 1992. The walkthrough attraction consists of a dimly lit cavern with a large dragon sleeping silently, occasionally it will 'wake up' puffing smoke and growling. The building also contains La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant, a gallery of displays which illustrate the story of Sleeping Beauty in tapestries, stained glass windows and figures. La Boutique du Château, a shop selling Christmas ornaments year-round, and Merlin l'Enchanteur, a shop specializing in handmade glass figures are located on ground floor.
Changes throughout the years
The castle has received several overlays throughout the years. First was the park's 1st Anniversary in 1993; during this celebration, the castle was dressed up as a cake complete with strawberries, icing and candles. This overlay was removed after the celebration ended. The cake overlay concept was later copied by Walt Disney World's Cinderella Castle in 1996 for the 25th Anniversary of the resort.
1997 marked the 5th Anniversary of Disneyland Paris; during this celebration, the castle was dressed up in carnival masks, jester hats, frills and bells to promote the animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. This overlay lasted until the beginning of 1998.
2002 marked the 10th Anniversary of Disneyland Paris; for this celebration, the overlay was quite basic compared to the previous ones. The front of the castle was fitted with a golden scroll displaying a large 10. Also, the celebration saw the opening of Walt Disney Studios next door. The scroll and other Anniversary material in the park was removed in 2003.
In 2007, the castle received another overlay, celebrating the park's 15th Anniversary which started in 2007. It featured golden Disney characters displayed on the turrets and spires, each holding a candle, and Tinkerbell on the highest spire—the candles were 'lit' each night during a special 'Candlebration' ceremony which took place on a raised temporary stage at Central Plaza, in front of the Castle. A huge illuminated gold plaque featuring a large '15' was hung on the front of the Castle. This echoed the overlay that was featured for the 10th Anniversary in 2002. The 15th Anniversary and the 'Candlebration' ceremony finally ended after an extended stay on March 7, 2009.
The 15th overlay was to be shortly followed on April 4, 2009 by Mickey's Magical Party, a "theme year" celebration held at the park. The castle was once again overlaid with a Mickey and Friends plaque over the main window, and the spire heads were changed from being characters to being 3 circles "of ribbon" representing Mickey Mouse. A more permanent Central Plaza stage was built outside the castle to host the "It's dance time... with Mickey and Friends" show, which also puts into doubt the future use of the Royal Castle Stage. Mickey's Magical Party is due to end on March 7 and be replaced by Disney's New Generation Festival (that starts on April 2), continuing the recent usage of "theme years" that the resort has begun to favor. Although the use of the Central Plaza stage has been extended for another year, no overlay has been announced for the castle.
The castle was repainted in a new color-scheme, restored and fitted with multicolored LED lighting during 2011. For the Disney Dreams nighttime spectacular show its moat was fitted with water fountains, the upper window was replaced by doors that open to reveal a LED lighted star and Central Plaza stage was removed in order to increase the viewing area.
In Epic Mickey, the castle was adapted into the game's starting and finishing level, Dark Beauty Castle. This version contained elements of the various Disney castles and even had statues resembling Disney characters.

When I was a graduate student in science education at Stony Brook in the late 1980's, I did my masters thesis on the subject of climate change and the potential effects onLong Island. The concept was at the time, little more than a derided footnote in the public consciousness. However, even back then the research was clear that climate change was real. I particularly remember conversations I had with Dr. Anthony D. Del Genio at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) atColumbiaUniversity. Dr. Del Genio is a planetary physicist who has been studying climate models since the 1970's. He is also a wine buff and had done some investigation of his own into the effects of climate change on the wine industry. Most importantly, I remember when he told me, "all of us will begin to feel the effects of climate change by the end of the 1990's." He not only was prescient – he also had some really good data.
I decided to look at some more recent data from the past 20 years and see if anything new turned up. For one,Northern Californiais becoming much warmer. The city of Napa, which used to be classified as a Region II back in the 1970's, is now averaging seasons that are well into Region III and often as high as Region IV. Other areas withinNapaValleyandSonomahave reached well over 4000 GDD in past 5 years – approaching conditions that might make it difficult to produce quality wines in the near future.
Back East, things get a little more complicated. Data obtained for theFinger Lakesregion since the 1970's show no statistically significant increase in GDD. It is surprisingly consistent, with average GDD hovering around 2600 for most areas around the lakes.
Long Islandpresents an entirely different story. When I first wrote and applied for the 2 local AVA's – The Hampton's, L.I. in 1984 and The North Fork of Long Island in 1985, I used data that went back to the 1940's. According to that information, theNorth Fork(represented by Riverhead data) had an average of 2932 GDD while theHampton's, (represented by Bridgehampton data) averaged 2531 GDD. Over the past 11 years, the numbers look quite different. Since 1996, the average GDD for Riverhead is 3331 days, while the average for Bridgehampton is 2805 – an increase of 399 and 274 respectively for these two regions. Although it is not a long enough period of time to draw a definitive conclusion, one can definitely see the trend; onLong Islandas well as inCalifornia, an average increase of 300-500 GDD has been recorded since the 1970's.
This summer I contacted Dr. Del Genio again and mentioned to him I was going to write a piece revisiting this topic. I also wanted to get his thoughts on what has changed in his understanding since 1990 and what he sees in the future. Interestingly, he mentioned that he and his staff have begun to draw some new conclusions from the models used to predict climate change. He stated that since the onset of Clean Air Legislation that began in the 1960's, the levels of particulates (i.e. dust, soot, etc.) in the air have decreased, which ironically, has lead to higher recorded temperatures in the densely populated areas of the Northeast, Midwest and California. These particles in the air known as aerosols scatter sunlight and make the light less concentrated – in essence, masking the warming effects of elevated CO2 levels. The areas showing the greatest response to clean air legislation are showing the greatest rise in temperature today – as much as 2-3 degrees F. on average. This effect is seen onLong Islandsince we are close to NYC – but he also mentioned our maritime influence, so important for moderating winter temperatures. Our reduced aerosols along with slight increases in water temperature are more than likely responsible for the increase in GDD. It also explains why a region like theFinger Lakes, further removed from air quality issues and with more of a continental climate, is presently showing less of a warming effect. This is one good example of just how complex a system our climate is and why it is so hard to accurately determine future outcomes.

Q: Patching SQL Server 2014 Versus SQL Server 2014 Express Need to apply a Service Pack to the following SQL Express install:
Installed version : 12.0.2000.8 (2014) Express Edition
Not sure if I can apply the latest SQL 2014 Service Pack SP4 or stick to the latest Express Service Pack I have found SP3.
Are service packs for SQL 2014 different than the service packs for SQL 2014 Express?

A:
Are service packs for SQL 2014 different than the service packs for
  SQL 2014 Express?

There is no difference in service packs or cumulative updates between SQL Server Express edition and other editions such as developer, standard or enterprise.
When looking at the latest build of sql server 2014, SP3 CU4 is the last one with build number: 12.0.6329.1 (Latest build). I'm not sure where SP4 is coming from?
When looking at the applies to field from SP3 CU4:

Applies to: SQL Server 2014 Developer SQL Server 2014 Enterprise SQL
  Server 2014 Enterprise Core SQL Server 2014 Standard SQL Server 2014
  Business Intelligence SQL Server 2014 Express SQL Server 2014 Web

You will find SQL Server 2014 Express
Download SP3 CU4 here
Remember that you would have to apply the service pack first, and then add the CU.
A list of sql server (2014) build versions can be found here, here and an overview of all the recent updates here .

EDIT

...I get the impression that I need to update to SP3
  1st THEN apply the CU4 patch. Since I'm starting with the base version
  of SQL Express (SP1 or SP2 not applied), can I just skip right to
  installing SP3 and then CU4 or do I first need to apply SP1 and SP2?

Since Service packs are cumulative you can directly install SP3 while skipping SP1 and SP2 and then install CU4.

Also If I were to download SP3, I have a number of choices of files to
  download. Not sure which to pick. See options from this link:
  microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57473 Appreciate any
  additional guidance you can provide...

The link provided is to download sql server express / local db / express with tools / express advanced edition with the SP3 installed when you don't have express installed.
You should download the regular SP3 patch, without express.
If you follow this link, you will see these two options:

Click on the one without express, SQL Server 2014 SP3
The ones with express are complete instances of sql server with the patch added.
Just to show you that I am not making this up, when scrolling down on the patch notes of SP3, go to the part: "Select the correct file to download and install"

Only install this one if you have no 64-bit version of SQL Server 2014 Express.
And for the correct file: (I think SP2 is a mistake, supposed to be SP3)

A patch for any Edition, express included. The Service pack you need, SP3 is this one .
Afterwards, download and install CU4  for SP3 from here

Riding in a group can be an exhilarating experience. It can also be about as fun as getting a root canal. It really just depends on the group you're in as to which experience you'll have.
As they say, one bad apple can spoil the bunch. And you don't want to be that apple, do you? Of course not! So, here are a few etiquette and safety tips for riding in a group.
Come with a full tank. It's so obvious, yet some riders still show up to a group ride with a quarter tank. No one in the group wants to have to make an unplanned stop or wait around for you to fill up your gas tank. This can and should be done before you meet up with the group. And when one person fills up later in the day, everybody should.
Go to the restroom before you meet up with the group. Just as you should fill your gas tank, empty yours, before the ride.
Make sure your bike is ready to roll. For the greater good of the group, do a quick check the night before or the morning before your ride, to ensure everything on your bike is in working order. Nothing puts a damper on a group ride like someone whose bike has an issue that could have been fixed beforehand. Of course you shouldn't wait to see if you need new tires the night before the ride. Regular maintenance aside, this is a last-minute inspection.
Pre-load the route(s) onto your phone or GPS unit or have a map with you for the ride. Even better? If everybody follows the same route, like one of 500+ routes on the RoadRUNNER Rides app. Make sure every rider in the group at least knows the general route, where the lunch spot is, and how long the ride will be.
Bring water. Don't underestimate the importance of hydration.
Hold a meeting. You don't have to sit at a round table like King Arthur and the knights of Camelot (though that might be cool), or go all Wall Street, but you do need to have a serious discussion about the planned ride.
Establish a Leader – Road Captain. Almost every group scenario is going to be more successful with a leader. Motorcycle group rides are no different. Pick one. They should be knowledgeable about the route and planned stops, and should preferably be one of the more experienced and responsible riders that has previous group riding experience. If this is the first group ride for everyone in your group, Godspeed. No, seriously, still pick a leader, and go over the plan and route.
Break into smaller groups to make things more manageable. This will also help traffic around you by allowing other vehicles to pass the group more easily, and make it safer for your group.
Don't fixate on the bike in front of you. Make sure you're looking through the curves and stay alert to potential road hazards.
Sweep Up Your Mess. Okay, hopefully your group ride isn't a mess! But to keep it that way, you need a sweeper. Luckily, this isn't a dirty job but someone has to do it.
If you lose sight of the rider behind you, stop at the next turn and wait until the rider comes into view and sees you. Once you know they've seen you, ride on. If everyone does this like they should, no one will be left behind or lost, and the ride will progress smoothly. If a rider loses the rest of the group due to not waiting at a turn, this rider pays the first round in the evening. Rules are rules!
High and low beams. The sweeper should turn on his or her high beams so the guide can spot them easily. Everyone else in the group should be using their low beams. Be sure to bring this up in your pre-ride meeting.
This should go without saying, but if you are riding in a group, this is no time to act like you're the Lone Ranger or pretend you're Evel Knievel. Common sense goes a long way here.
Avoid aggressive riding behaviors. The last thing you want or need is for yours or a rider in your group to trigger road rage from other vehicles on the road. This can turn ugly for the entire group, as well as other drivers. Be courteous and forgiving of other people on the road. This will help everyone in your group have a better experience.
Don't push the group too hard. Make sure the group takes breaks every 60-90 minutes. This gives everyone a chance to stretch their legs, hydrate, and take care of any personal needs.
You're not alone – Just because you're riding in a group doesn't give you special permission to block traffic or run red lights, and it doesn't call for riding so close together that other motorists can't merge if needed.
While even the most seasoned riders may experience challenges when riding in a group, following these guidelines can help ensure the ride is a fun experience for everyone. And if you know proper group etiquette, at the very least, you won't be the bad apple in the group.

This unit gives an overview of the main parts of speech. It labels each part, and describes how different elements are used and in what order. The unit starts with some examples and explains which word in a given sentence performs which role. We then enter into more detail within each category. We learn about the different types of nouns, about their usage and the words which can/can't be used with them. The same is accomplished for adjectives, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions and more. I found this unit very interesting and feel like I have acquired a more stable foundation in English grammar on which to subsequently build. The fairly simple, concise explanations of each category have allowed me to retain the basic functions and meanings of the different parts of speech in English.

The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Chapter IX
57062The Gambler — Chapter IXFyodor Dostoevsky
For on the topmost tier of the hotel verandah, after being carried up the steps in an armchair amid a bevy of footmen, maid-servants, and other menials of the hotel, headed by the landlord (that functionary had actually run out to meet a visitor who arrived with so much stir and din, attended by her own retinue, and accompanied by so great a pile of trunks and portmanteaux)—on the topmost tier of the verandah, I say, there was sitting—THE GRANDMOTHER! Yes, it was she—rich, and imposing, and seventy-five years of age—Antonida Vassilievna Tarassevitcha, landowner and grande dame of Moscow—the "La Baboulenka" who had caused so many telegrams to be sent off and received—who had been dying, yet not dying—who had, in her own person, descended upon us even as snow might fall from the clouds! Though unable to walk, she had arrived borne aloft in an armchair (her mode of conveyance for the last five years), as brisk, aggressive, self-satisfied, bolt-upright, loudly imperious, and generally abusive as ever. In fact, she looked exactly as she had on the only two occasions when I had seen her since my appointment to the General's household. Naturally enough, I stood petrified with astonishment. She had sighted me a hundred paces off! Even while she was being carried along in her chair she had recognised me, and called me by name and surname (which, as usual, after hearing once, she had remembered ever afterwards).
"And this is the woman whom they had thought to see in her grave after making her will!" I thought to myself. "Yet she will outlive us, and every one else in the hotel. Good Lord! what is going to become of us now? What on earth is to happen to the General? She will turn the place upside down!"
"My good sir," the old woman continued in a stentorian voice, "what are you standing THERE for, with your eyes almost falling out of your head? Cannot you come and say how-do-you-do? Are you too proud to shake hands? Or do you not recognise me? Here, Potapitch!" she cried to an old servant who, dressed in a frock coat and white waistcoat, had a bald, red head (he was the chamberlain who always accompanied her on her journeys). "Just think! Alexis Ivanovitch does not recognise me! They have buried me for good and all! Yes, and after sending hosts of telegrams to know if I were dead or not! Yes, yes, I have heard the whole story. I am very much alive, though, as you may see."
"Pardon me, Antonida Vassilievna," I replied good humouredly as I recovered my presence of mind. "I have no reason to wish you ill. I am merely rather astonished to see you. Why should I not be so, seeing how unexpected—"
"WHY should you be astonished? I just got into my chair, and came. Things are quiet enough in the train, for there is no one there to chatter. Have you been out for a walk?"
"Yes. I have just been to the Casino."
"Oh? Well, it is quite nice here," she went on as she looked about her. "The place seems comfortable, and all the trees are out. I like it very well. Are your people at home? Is the General, for instance, indoors?"
"Yes; and probably all of them."
"Do they observe the convenances, and keep up appearances? Such things always give one tone. I have heard that they are keeping a carriage, even as Russian gentlefolks ought to do. When abroad, our Russian people always cut a dash. Is Prascovia here too ?"
"Yes. Polina Alexandrovna is here."
"And the Frenchwoman? However, I will go and look for them myself. Tell me the nearest way to their rooms. Do you like being here?"
"Yes, I thank you, Antonida Vassilievna."
"And you, Potapitch, you go and tell that fool of a landlord to reserve me a suitable suite of rooms. They must be handsomely decorated, and not too high up. Have my luggage taken up to them. But what are you tumbling over yourselves for? Why are you all tearing about? What scullions these fellows are!—Who is that with you?" she added to myself.
"A Mr. Astley," I replied.
"And who is Mr. Astley?"
"A fellow-traveller, and my very good friend, as well as an acquaintance of the General's."
"Oh, an Englishman? Then that is why he stared at me without even opening his lips. However, I like Englishmen. Now, take me upstairs, direct to their rooms. Where are they lodging?"
Madame was lifted up in her chair by the lacqueys, and I preceded her up the grand staircase. Our progress was exceedingly effective, for everyone whom we met stopped to stare at the cortege. It happened that the hotel had the reputation of being the best, the most expensive, and the most aristocratic in all the spa, and at every turn on the staircase or in the corridors we encountered fine ladies and important-looking Englishmen—more than one of whom hastened downstairs to inquire of the awestruck landlord who the newcomer was. To all such questions he returned the same answer—namely, that the old lady was an influential foreigner, a Russian, a Countess, and a grande dame, and that she had taken the suite which, during the previous week, had been tenanted by the Grande Duchesse de N.
Meanwhile the cause of the sensation—the Grandmother—was being borne aloft in her armchair. Every person whom she met she scanned with an inquisitive eye, after first of all interrogating me about him or her at the top of her voice. She was stout of figure, and, though she could not leave her chair, one felt, the moment that one first looked at her, that she was also tall of stature. Her back was as straight as a board, and never did she lean back in her seat. Also, her large grey head, with its keen, rugged features, remained always erect as she glanced about her in an imperious, challenging sort of way, with looks and gestures that clearly were unstudied. Though she had reached her seventy-sixth year, her face was still fresh, and her teeth had not decayed. Lastly, she was dressed in a black silk gown and white mobcap.
"She interests me tremendously," whispered Mr. Astley as, still smoking, he walked by my side. Meanwhile I was reflecting that probably the old lady knew all about the telegrams, and even about De Griers, though little or nothing about Mlle. Blanche. I said as much to Mr. Astley.
But what a frail creature is man! No sooner was my first surprise abated than I found myself rejoicing in the shock which we were about to administer to the General. So much did the thought inspire me that I marched ahead in the gayest of fashions.
Our party was lodging on the third floor. Without knocking at the door, or in any way announcing our presence, I threw open the portals, and the Grandmother was borne through them in triumph. As though of set purpose, the whole party chanced at that moment to be assembled in the General's study. The time was eleven o'clock, and it seemed that an outing of some sort (at which a portion of the party were to drive in carriages, and others to ride on horseback, accompanied by one or two extraneous acquaintances) was being planned. The General was present, and also Polina, the children, the latter's nurses, De Griers, Mlle. Blanche (attired in a riding-habit), her mother, the young Prince, and a learned German whom I beheld for the first time. Into the midst of this assembly the lacqueys conveyed Madame in her chair, and set her down within three paces of the General!
Good heavens! Never shall I forget the spectacle which ensued! Just before our entry, the General had been holding forth to the company, with De Griers in support of him. I may also mention that, for the last two or three days, Mlle. Blanche and De Griers had been making a great deal of the young Prince, under the very nose of the poor General. In short, the company, though decorous and conventional, was in a gay, familiar mood. But no sooner did the Grandmother appear than the General stopped dead in the middle of a word, and, with jaw dropping, stared hard at the old lady—his eyes almost starting out of his head, and his expression as spellbound as though he had just seen a basilisk. In return, the Grandmother stared at him silently and without moving—though with a look of mingled challenge, triumph, and ridicule in her eyes. For ten seconds did the pair remain thus eyeing one another, amid the profound silence of the company; and even De Griers sat petrified—an extraordinary look of uneasiness dawning on his face. As for Mlle. Blanche, she too stared wildly at the Grandmother, with eyebrows raised and her lips parted—while the Prince and the German savant contemplated the tableau in profound amazement. Only Polina looked anything but perplexed or surprised. Presently, however, she too turned as white as a sheet, and then reddened to her temples. Truly the Grandmother's arrival seemed to be a catastrophe for everybody! For my own part, I stood looking from the Grandmother to the company, and back again, while Mr. Astley, as usual, remained in the background, and gazed calmly and decorously at the scene.
"Well, here I am—and instead of a telegram, too!" the Grandmother at last ejaculated, to dissipate the silence. "What? You were not expecting me?"
"Antonida Vassilievna! O my dearest mother! But how on earth did you, did you—?" The mutterings of the unhappy General died away.
I verily believe that if the Grandmother had held her tongue a few seconds longer she would have had a stroke.
"How on earth did I WHAT?" she exclaimed. "Why, I just got into the train and came here. What else is the railway meant for? But you thought that I had turned up my toes and left my property to the lot of you. Oh, I know ALL about the telegrams which you have been dispatching. They must have cost you a pretty sum, I should think, for telegrams are not sent from abroad for nothing. Well, I picked up my heels, and came here. Who is this Frenchman? Monsieur de Griers, I suppose?"
"Oui, madame," assented De Griers. "Et, croyez, je suis si enchante! Votre sante—c'est un miracle vous voir ici. Une surprise charmante!"
"Just so. 'Charmante!' I happen to know you as a mountebank, and therefore trust you no more than THIS." She indicated her little finger. "And who is THAT?" she went on, turning towards Mlle. Blanche. Evidently the Frenchwoman looked so becoming in her riding-habit, with her whip in her hand, that she had made an impression upon the old lady. "Who is that woman there?"
"Mlle. de Cominges," I said. "And this is her mother, Madame de Cominges. They also are staying in the hotel."
"Is the daughter married?" asked the old lady, without the least semblance of ceremony.
"No," I replied as respectfully as possible, but under my breath.
"Is she good company?"
I failed to understand the question.
"I mean, is she or is she not a bore? Can she speak Russian? When this De Griers was in Moscow he soon learnt to make himself understood."
I explained to the old lady that Mlle. Blanche had never visited Russia.
"Bonjour, then," said Madame, with sudden brusquerie.
"Bonjour, madame," replied Mlle. Blanche with an elegant, ceremonious bow as, under cover of an unwonted modesty, she endeavoured to express, both in face and figure, her extreme surprise at such strange behaviour on the part of the Grandmother.
"How the woman sticks out her eyes at me! How she mows and minces!" was the Grandmother's comment. Then she turned suddenly to the General, and continued: "I have taken up my abode here, so am going to be your next-door neighbour. Are you glad to hear that, or are you not?"
"My dear mother, believe me when I say that I am. sincerely delighted," returned the General, who had now, to a certain extent, recovered his senses; and inasmuch as, when occasion arose, he could speak with fluency, gravity, and a certain effect, he set himself to be expansive in his remarks, and went on: "We have been so dismayed and upset by the news of your indisposition! We had received such hopeless telegrams about you! Then suddenly—"
"Fibs, fibs!" interrupted the Grandmother.
"How on earth, too, did you come to decide upon the journey?" continued the General, with raised voice as he hurried to overlook the old lady's last remark. "Surely, at your age, and in your present state of health, the thing is so unexpected that our surprise is at least intelligible. However, I am glad to see you (as indeed, are we all"—he said this with a dignified, yet conciliatory, smile), "and will use my best endeavours to render your stay here as pleasant as possible."
"Enough! All this is empty chatter. You are talking the usual nonsense. I shall know quite well how to spend my time. How did I come to undertake the journey, you ask? Well, is there anything so very surprising about it? It was done quite simply. What is every one going into ecstasies about?—How do you do, Prascovia? What are YOU doing here?"
"And how are YOU, Grandmother?" replied Polina, as she approached the old lady. "Were you long on the journey?".
"The most sensible question that I have yet been asked! Well, you shall hear for yourself how it all happened. I lay and lay, and was doctored and doctored,; until at last I drove the physicians from me, and called in an apothecary from Nicolai who had cured an old woman of a malady similar to my own—cured her merely with a little hayseed. Well, he did me a great deal of good, for on the third day I broke into a sweat, and was able to leave my bed. Then my German doctors held another consultation, put on their spectacles, and told me that if I would go abroad, and take a course of the waters, the indisposition would finally pass away. 'Why should it not?' I thought to myself. So I had got things ready, and on the following day, a Friday, set out for here. I occupied a special compartment in the train, and where ever I had to change I found at the station bearers who were ready to carry me for a few coppers. You have nice quarters here," she went on as she glanced around the room. " But where on earth did you get the money for them, my good sir? I thought that everything of yours had been mortgaged? This Frenchman alone must be your creditor for a good deal. Oh, I know all about it, all about it."
"I-I am surprised at you, my dearest mother," said the General in some confusion. "I-I am greatly surprised. But I do not need any extraneous control of my finances. Moreover, my expenses do not exceed my income, and we—"
"They do not exceed it? Fie! Why, you are robbing your children of their last kopeck—you, their guardian!"
"After this," said the General, completely taken aback, "—after what you have just said, I do not know whether—"
"You do not know what? By heavens, are you never going to drop that roulette of yours? Are you going to whistle all your property away?"
This made such an impression upon the General that he almost choked with fury.
"Roulette, indeed? I play roulette? Really, in view of my position—Recollect what you are saying, my dearest mother. You must still be unwell."
"Rubbish, rubbish!" she retorted. "The truth is that you CANNOT be got away from that roulette. You are simply telling lies. This very day I mean to go and see for myself what roulette is like. Prascovia, tell me what there is to be seen here; and do you, Alexis Ivanovitch, show me everything; and do you, Potapitch, make me a list of excursions. What IS there to be seen?" again she inquired of Polina.
"There is a ruined castle, and the Shlangenberg."
"The Shlangenberg? What is it? A forest?"
"No, a mountain on the summit of which there is a place fenced off. From it you can get a most beautiful view."
"Could a chair be carried up that mountain of yours?"
"Doubtless we could find bearers for the purpose," I interposed.
At this moment Theodosia, the nursemaid, approached the old lady with the General's children.
"No, I DON'T want to see them," said the Grandmother. "I hate kissing children, for their noses are always wet. How are you getting on, Theodosia?"
"I am very well, thank you, Madame," replied the nursemaid. "And how is your ladyship? We have been feeling so anxious about you!"
"Yes, I know, you simple soul—But who are those other guests?" the old lady continued, turning again to Polina. "For instance, who is that old rascal in the spectacles?"
"Prince Nilski, Grandmamma," whispered Polina.
"Oh, a Russian? Why, I had no idea that he could understand me! Surely he did not hear what I said? As for Mr. Astley, I have seen him already, and I see that he is here again. How do you do?" she added to the gentleman in question.
Mr. Astley bowed in silence
"Have you NOTHING to say to me?" the old lady went on. "Say something, for goodness' sake! Translate to him, Polina."
Polina did so.
"I have only to say," replied Mr. Astley gravely, but also with alacrity, "that I am indeed glad to see you in such good health." This was interpreted to the Grandmother, and she seemed much gratified.
"How well English people know how to answer one!" she remarked. "That is why I like them so much better than French. Come here," she added to Mr. Astley. "I will try not to bore you too much. Polina, translate to him that I am staying in rooms on a lower floor. Yes, on a lower floor," she repeated to Astley, pointing downwards with her finger.
Astley looked pleased at receiving the invitation.
Next, the old lady scanned Polina, from head to foot with minute attention.
"I could almost have liked you, Prascovia," suddenly she remarked, "for you are a nice girl—the best of the lot. You have some character about you. I too have character. Turn round. Surely that is not false hair that you are wearing?"
"No, Grandmamma. It is my own."
"Well, well. I do not like the stupid fashions of today. You are very good looking. I should have fallen in love with you if I had been a man. Why do you not get married? It is time now that I was going. I want to walk, yet I always have to ride. Are you still in a bad temper?" she added to the General.
"No, indeed," rejoined the now mollified General.
"I quite understand that at your time of life—"
"Cette vieille est tombee en enfance," De Griers whispered to me.
"But I want to look round a little," the old lady added to the General. Will you lend me Alexis Ivanovitch for the purpose?
"As much as you like. But I myself—yes, and Polina and Monsieur de Griers too—we all of us hope to have the pleasure of escorting you."
"Mais, madame, cela sera un plaisir," De Griers commented with a bewitching smile.
"'Plaisir' indeed! Why, I look upon you as a perfect fool, monsieur." Then she remarked to the General: "I am not going to let you have any of my money. I must be off to my rooms now, to see what they are like. Afterwards we will look round a little. Lift me up."
Again the Grandmother was borne aloft and carried down the staircase amid a perfect bevy of followers—the General walking as though he had been hit over the head with a cudgel, and De Griers seeming to be plunged in thought. Endeavouring to be left behind, Mlle. Blanche next thought better of it, and followed the rest, with the Prince in her wake. Only the German savant and Madame de Cominges did not leave the General's apartments.

Trump and first lady Melania test positive for coronavirus
AmericaNews
By Islam Religion Guardian Last updated Oct 2, 2020
Donald Trump has announced that he and the first lady, Melania Trump, have tested positive for coronavirus, after one of his closest advisers contracted the virus, throwing the 2020 US election into chaos.
On Friday morning, the US president tweeted: "Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19." He wrote that they would begin quarantine immediately.
The announcement came after Hope Hicks, who serves as counsellor to the president and accompanied him to the presidential debate on Tuesday and to a Minnesota rally on Wednesday, tested positive on Thursday.
The president's doctor, Navy Commander Dr Sean Conley, said in a statement early on Friday: "The president and first lady are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence.
"The White House medical team and I will maintain a vigilant watch, and I appreciate the support provided by some of our country's greatest medical professionals and institutions," Conley wrote. "Rest assured, I expect the president to continue carrying out his duties without disruption while recovering."
He said he received confirmation of the positive tests on Thursday evening. With little over a month before the elections, this is the most serious threat to the life of an American president since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's U.S. chief of staff, Catherine St-Laurent, will be vacating her current position for a higher one after less than a year she was tapped for the position, a recent report said.

According to a PageSix report, St-Laurent has been promoted to a senior advisory position for Archewell, the couple's nonprofit organization, "She will continue to bring high-level strategic guidance to Archewell, which she helped launch and build over the course of the past year," a spokesperson said.
St-Laurent had previously worked as senior personnel in the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, before joining the Duke and Duchess of Sussex last April as their chief of staff as well as executive director of Archewell.
On Monday, it was announced that James Holt, Markle and Harry's UK rep, was pronounced executive director of Archewell. Meanwhile, after hiring St-Laurent's last year, the royals said, "We are proud to be joined by Catherine St-Laurent in this next chapter with us.
"Her leadership and proven track record working within two organizations that have a tremendous impact in the world, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Pivotal Ventures make her an incredible asset and we're excited to have her on our team."
The Times last month reported that allegations of bullying within the Sussexes' former office at Kensington Palace had been reported to Buckingham Palace, although none of the alleged complainants has been named or has even come forward.

"Eleven thousand people turned up even though we'd already been relegated – that's fantastic!" Robinson told MK Dons PlayerHD. "It highlights the growth and development of this Football Club.
"My team at the start of next season will be better than the team that finished against Nottingham Forest. We'll come back bigger, stronger and more educated than ever before.
"That (performance against Forest) wasn't good enough to compete in League 1. We'll need to play three or four times better than what we did in this game, if we are to be successful in that division.
"Being relegated is one of the worst things that can happen to you in football but we're at a point now, though, where we can only look forward. It's about how we respond to this season, how we get back up.
Robinson, though, believes the experiences of the past nine months will only make the players, staff and supporters stronger going into 2016/17.
And while one player was beginning his professional journey, another reached an incredible milestone as Dean Lewington made his 600th appearance for the Dons.
There was one positive to take from Saturday's match and that was Oran Jackson making his senior debut at the age of 17.
