Paul Lukas (Boedapest, 26 mei 1895 - Tanger, 15 augustus 1971) was een Hongaarse acteur.

Leven en werk

Afkomst, Hongaarse carrière en vertrek naar Hollywood
Lukas werd als Pál Lukács in Boedapest geboren in een joodse familie.
In 1916 stond hij voor het eerst op het toneel in Boedapest. Een jaar later acteerde hij voor het eerst in een film. Na een succesvolle carrière als toneel- en filmacteur verhuisde hij in 1927 naar de streek rond Hollywood. In 1933 werd hij genaturaliseerd tot burger van de Verenigde Staten.

Jaren dertig
In de jaren dertig, zijn productiefste periode, was hij te zien in een vijftigtal films, waaronder Hitchcocks spionagefilm The Lady Vanishes (1938). Cineasten als George Cukor, William Wyler, John Cromwell en James Whale deden toen meermaals een beroep op hem.

Jaren veertig
Zijn belangrijkste rol speelde hij in 1943 in het oorlogsdrama Watch on the Rhine dat gebaseerd was op het gelijknamige toneelstuk van Lillian Hellman. Hij zette hierin een man neer die zich verzette tegen de nazi's (in 1941 speelde hij deze rol ook al op het toneel). Voor deze rol won hij de Academy Award voor Beste Acteur.

In de jaren veertig was Lukas lid van de Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideas. Dit was een conservatieve lobbygroep die zich verzette tegen communistische invloeden in Hollywood.

Jaren vijftig
Hij is het meest bekend voor zijn rol als professor Aronnax in de Walt Disney-klassieker 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954). Deze sciencefiction-avonturenfilm is gebaseerd op het boek Twintigduizend mijlen onder zee van Jules Verne.

Overlijden
In 1971 stierf Lukas op 76-jarige leeftijd aan een hartaanval in Tanger (Marokko). Hij heeft een ster op de Walk of Fame in Hollywood op de Hollywood Boulevard 6841.

Close Reading, Spring 2019
Japanese Media Mix
BY Jacob Williams
In a Tortoiseshell: In this excerpt from his Junior Paper on the Japanese film Perfect Blue, Jacob Williams analyzes the motif of glass surfaces and their relation to Mima's flattening: the process by which the original character's "existence in its show is crushed into a singular image, one whose use of limited animation emphasizes the fact that it does not pretend to be alive in the same way that a fully animated character does." Jacob performs insightful close analysis and more importantly, demonstrates how this kind of analysis can be used to support the paper's broader argument.

You need to find all the strings in your application, internationalize them, and begin the process of translating them.
There are several good tools as well as collaborative and commercial services that translate text files.
Suppose you have a mix of old and new Java code in your app; the new code was written specifically for Android, whilst the older may have been used in some other Java environment. You need to find every String literal, isolated it into a Strings.xml file, and translate it into any necessary languages.
The Android Localizer from Artful Bits Inc. is a free and open-source tool that can be used to handle both steps of this process. Motodev Studio is a freely available (with signup) commercial tool that includes this functionality (as well as quite a bit more). Both tools will feed your strings through Google Translate to get a starting version in multiple languages.
User "johnthuss" has a version of a a Java program to perform this translation, handling characters that are not valid identifiers.
Now, at any rate, you are ready to begin translating your master resource file into other languages. While it may be tempting to scrimp on this part of the work, it is generally worthwhile to engage the services of a professional translation service skilled in the particular language(s) you target. Alternately, you may wish to investigate crowd-sourced translation.
When using any third-party translation service, especially for languages with which you or your staff are not personally "first or second childhood language" familiar, you should normally get a second opinion. Embarrassing errors in software shipped with "bad" translations can be very expensive. There is an apocryphal story, widely used as a warning of this point, of Microsoft inadvertently hiring Taiwanese translators to translate the mainland Chinese version of Microsoft Windows. Here is one reference to this incident: "... The discovery, in the summer of 1996, that some Microsoft programs localized in Chinese carried hidden slogans has again strained Microsoft-PRC relations."
The citation given is to the South China Morning Post, October (day unknown), 1996.

The Sherpa and the Snowman, by Chas. Stonor, with a foreword by Sir John Hunt. 206 pages, 38 pictures. Hollis & Carter: London, 1955. Price, 18 s.
To those serious students of the Himalayan mystery this book may not contain much that is new. Many of us have regarded reports about the Yeti (as the Sherpas call it) as not very subtle spoofing. Even the appellation "Abominable Snowman" suggests an attempt to be other than serious. However, the Tibetan name "Metoh Kangmi" literally translates as "a repellent manlike creature whose home lies in the higher snow ranges" ; hence the popular name is really not an effort to be funny.
In the winter of 1953/4 an expedition was sent from London to investigate the abominable gentleman in his own stamping ground which fringes and overlaps the habitat of the Sherpas on the approaches to Everest. It is in the environs of the Sherpa villages and above their yak grazing alp- lands that the Yeti has most often been reported. The author is a biologist and anthropologist, the party included a zoologist, a doctor and an American naturalist-traveler. Their approach to the verification or disproval of the snowman seems at all times to have been open-minded and scientifically sound. As one who was a complete skeptic, this reviewer underwent a growing fascination as the investigation unfolded. Tracks were found and photographed, excreta analyzed, the eye and ear witnesses cross examined and cross checked. There is no question in the Sherpa mind about the existence of the Yeti, and the expedition itself concludes with the conviction that some unknown and highly intelligent form of ape maintains an elusive and precarious foothold in the Alpine zone of the Himalayas.
The foregoing is, however, only a part of the book's worth. There is no excitement, no climax; the book at times plods along at a gentle pace enlivened now and then by restrained humor as when the scientist and the monk-doctor compare medical notes and their competing cures for migraine to malaria. This book obviously was written by a sincere lover of nature and humanity. The bases of the Sherpas' economic, spiritual and social life are vividly depicted, as well as (to this reader) some startling items such as the flight of yellow billed chough that are seen airborne at 26,000 feet.
Those who have an interest in the Himalaya for climbing or any other reason should add this book to their libraries. They will find here intelligent and objective observation, honest and competent writing.

Railroad brought a lot of excitement, as well as disappointment
Lewis LeMaster
Often I remember my mother fondly reminiscing about a narrow gauge railroad that passed by her relatives' farm near Cumberland. The Bellaire, Zanesville and Cincinnati Railroad, which ran 112 miles between Bellaire and Zanesville, earned its colorful nickname.
In a 1959 Times-Signal article, historian Norris F. Schneider, stated, "Riding the Bent, Zigzag and Crooked gave the passengers a taste of the thrills provided by roller coasters in an amusement park. Some of the sharp curves had a radius of only 400 feet. Trainmen gave them names such as Jumbo, Double S Curve and Crack-the -Whip Curve. It was a thrill to ride over 262 trestles and bridges along the line. Passengers held their breath as the miniature train crept over the flimsy structures weakened by rains and floods."
On Nov. 16, 1883, the Zanesville Signal announced the opening of the narrow gauge line from Zanesville to Caldwell. The paper argued that the road would bring great wealth to this area: "Several men are here industriously handling freight, etc.; cars are being loaded and unloaded with Zanesville production and merchandise, and trains are moving to and fro with alacrity. New faces are observed upon our streets, and our merchants are already reaping advantages both commercially and socially. This road will bring a large amount of money to Zanesville, and will enrich not only the city and vicinity, but also the county generally."
The article went on to report on the first trip on the newly completed segment, a 34-mile run made in about three hours. This slow speed led to jokes such as this: Joe Yeagle was walking one day from his farm to Caldwell with a basket of eggs on his arm. No. 4 overtook him half a mile from town, and Engineer Barney Pennington called to Joe, "Hop on and we'll run you to town." Joe answered, "No thanks, I'll walk. I'm in a hurry."
On Dec. 5, 1903, the Zanesville Courier stated: "About a year ago the B. Z. and C. company sold its property to the Appleyard syndicate to be used as one extension to its electric railroad system from Zanesville to Bellaire." The new organization was called the Ohio River & Western Railroad.
In a few years automobiles, trucks, and buses began to steal business from the railroad. Soon Appleyard had huge financial problems. In 1912 the Pennsylvania Railroad Company took over the line.
Finally, on April 28, 1928, the Times Recorder announced: "Abandonment of the Ohio River & Western railroad between Zanesville and Woodsfield will become effective at midnight Monday, April 30..."
The Sunday Times-Signal added: "One of Zanesville's most important trade arteries is severed by the closing of this road. There was a time when this little road, the narrow gauge-serving the territory from here to Woodsfield brought as many shoppers into town daily as the bigger roads. It served a rural and small town population exclusively and it brought all these people here to do their shopping. It was a road without a single industry of importance along its line."
Making the last trips were two trains carrying passengers, baggage, freight, and mail.
The Signal stated: "With a wave of his hand and the cry of 'all aboard' from Conductor F. M. McConnell at 7 o'clock Monday morning, Engineer C. E. Van Dyne will open the throttle and the 'morning train' on the Ohio River and Western will start thundering on its way, incidentally starting on its last trip. With this run completed on reaching the Woodsfield terminal the Ohio River and Western road, the only narrow gauge road, the only transportation system of the kind in the state, will cease operations forever."
Lewis LeMaster is a retired teacher in the Zanesville area.

Why are COVID-19 cases surging in Russia? – Medical News Today
Distrust of vaccines may be behind the current surge in COVID-19 cases in Russia. Valery Sharifulin/TASS via Getty Images
Sunday, October 3, set records for the most COVID-19 deaths in Russia on a single day.
Only 29% of people in Russia are vaccinated, despite the country being the first to approve a vaccine.
The vast majority of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Russia are unvaccinated.
On Sunday, October 3, Russia reported its highest number of COVID-19 deaths per day since the start of the pandemic for the fifth time in a week. That day, 890 people died of the disease. The number of new infections was 25,769, the second-highest of the year.
Russia has the highest COVID-19 death toll of any European nation, with 218,345 fatalities. The country has reported 7,832,964 cases of the disease since the start of the pandemic.
According to The Guardian, publicly available data suggest that 600,000 "excess deaths" have occurred in Russia from the start of the pandemic to July 2021. This statistic suggests that the official death toll may significantly undercount the actual figure.
Stay informed with live updates on the current COVID-19 outbreak and visit our coronavirus hub for more advice on prevention and treatment.
Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin says that the government is "seriously concerned" about the rise in COVID-19 infections and fatalities.
Mishustin points out: "Morbidity is increasing in most Russian regions. There are twice as many patients in hospitals as there were at the same time last year." Mishustin himself was diagnosed with COVID-19 in April.
As SARS-CoV-2's Delta variant moves through Russia's population, Mishustin attributes the surge to low vaccination rates among the country's citizens, saying that "the vaccination level is insufficient to stop the spread of infection."
Of the people currently hospitalized in Russia with COVID-19, the vast majority are unvaccinated.
This is in spite of the fact that Russia was the first nation to approve a vaccine for COVID-19, its own Sputnik V vaccine. Today, three different vaccines are available throughout the country.
President Vladimir Putin has consistently urged the Russian people to get vaccinated, saying, "[COVID-19 is] dangerous, dangerous to your life. The vaccine is not dangerous."
Nonetheless, just 29% of people in Russia are fully vaccinated. Almost 33% have received a single dose.
Last summer, an independent survey explored Russians' resistance to vaccination. In that study, 33% of people surveyed said they were fearful of side effects, 20% said they were waiting for the completion of clinical trials, and 16% saw no reason to get vaccinated. Russia finished phase 3 clinical trials of the Sputnik V vaccine on September 30.
Of those surveyed, 57% said they were not afraid of getting COVID-19. A similar number said they were opposed to mandatory vaccinations.
Dr. Anna Gotlib, a Russian-born philosopher and bioethicist, told Medical News Today that another factor is a longstanding distrust of the federal government in Russia that can leave people "sort of stuck." Dr. Gotlib said:
"They have a hard time trusting their own vaccine, and yet they don't trust the Western one. In the end, they just opt out of the whole thing."
According to Dr. Gotlib, the Russian people also have a long history of faith in home remedies, "going back even before the Soviet Union, going back all the way to the tzars and beyond."
She continued: "I remember even my own grandmother, she was an educated woman, but she had her own ways. If I got sick, unless I was really sick, the first trip wasn't to the doctor. She had her own little medicine cabinet of things."
A recent Russian study suggests that "the attitude toward immunoprophylaxis against COVID-19 in Russia can be characterized as distrust of a specific vaccine and approval of vaccination in general as an effective technology for combating epidemics."
Dr. Gotlib also described the degree to which disinformation regarding COVID-19 and vaccines has "drenched" Russian media.
When people complain about how pervasive disinformation is in the United States, asserted Dr. Gotlib, "they have no idea how bad it is in Russia, to the extent where when you look at Russian media sometimes it's really hard to make your way through all the pseudoscientific anti-vaccine [nonsense] claims."
Others have suggested that the popularity of antibody tests in Russia may somewhat account for the low vaccination numbers. Although such tests can only detect antibodies from a previous infection and cannot assess immunity to COVID-19 or diagnose a current case, some may be more comfortable with the test than vaccinations.
The Russian government has been reluctant to impose social restrictions that might limit the person-to-person spread of SARS-CoV-2 due to concerns that such measures might negatively affect the economy.
Bars, restaurants, and nightclubs remain open throughout the country.
Moscow briefly attempted to require negative PCR COVID-19 tests for local restaurant and bar customers but abandoned the effort after complaints from business owners over lost income. On October 5, however, Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced that mass PCR testing will begin in the city in 1–2 weeks.
In the face of the current surge, some other Russian regions are now saying they will begin requiring vaccination proof before allowing entrance to some venues. The country has 85 regions, of which Moscow is one.
On October 5, Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova also announced that the federal government now recommends regions implement vaccination QR codes as a requirement for attending large gatherings.

Saint-Nectaire Church
Dominating the small village of St-Nectaire-le-Haut in the Auvergne region of southern France, Saint-Nectaire Church dates from the 12th century. It contains a fine set of Romanesque capitals and a treasury of medieval art.
History of Saint-Nectaire Church
The hill on which the church stands, Mont-Cornadore, was settled in prehistoric times and later colonized by the Romans, who built public baths in the town. St-Nectaire-le-Bas, the lower part of the town, is still home to a popular spa.
The church is named for St. Nectaire, a missionary who is said to have arrived in the Auvergne with St. Austremoine in the fourth century. There is little record of this early period of history, but it seems Nectaire's relics attracted pilgrims and a church was built here at an early date.
What is better know is that in the mid-12th century, Guillaume VII, Count of Auvergne, donated this land to the monks of La Chaise-Dieu, a nearby Benedictine monastery. The monks built a priory here, including the present church, shortly thereafter.
Sadly, the Church of St. Nectaire was badly damaged during the French Revolution and its restoration in the 19th century was not entirely faithful to the original. Nevertheless, much of the original architecture and art remains intact. Significant restoration work was undertaken in the nave in 2008.
What to See at Saint-Nectaire Church
Located on high ground and surrounded by lush forests, the stately church of Saint-Nectaire towers over the small village of St-Nectaire-le-Haut. Its situation is somewhat less attractive from close-up, as it is now surrounded by a small lawn and paved parking lot.
The church is constructed of local trachyte stone in various shades of grey, arranged in attractive patterns. On the apse, the stone is cut into a fine inlaid pattern of stars inside circles. Similar decorations can be seen on each end of the transept.
The church's highest point is the octagonal crossing tower, topped with a pyramid-shaped roof. This dates from the 19th century, as do the twin square towers on the west facade. From the east, there is a fine view of the flat "lantern" transept, the semicircular apse with inlaid stars, three radiating chapels, and an apsidal chapel on each transept arm. Overall, it is a striking and impressive sight.
The interior is an attractive space with many details of interest. The nave is supported by round columns with carved capitals, some retaining traces of original paint. Among the subjects depicted on the capitals are the Temptation of Christ; Moses being saved from crocodile-infested water by Pharaoh's daugher; a donkey playing a lyre and a man riding a goat; and St. Baudime slaying a wild bear.
At the back of the nave is the original narthex, the only one to survive in the region, which has a tall upper gallery. The end walls of each transept have an unusual feature: a triangular arch between two rounded arches, representing the Trinity.
St. Nectaire houses an excellent treasury of medieval religious art, which includes the following objects:
The artistic highlight of the interior for most, however, is the set of six capitals in the choir. Dating from the 12th century like the rest of the church, they are richly carved with biblical and legendary scenes in a charmingly naive style. Much of the original paint remains. Their subjects are as follows:
There are more capitals on the engaged columns of the ambulatory, most of which depict monsters and hybrid creatures among foliage. There is also a miser being tortured by demons; shepherds carrying lambs; and, on the north side, Zachaeus climbing a tree to hear Jesus.

From strong and stable to calm and confident. UK Prime Minister Theresa May has responded to calls for a leadership contest within her Conservative Party.
She sought to dispel the claims of former party chairman Grant Shapps that around 30 Tory MPs back the idea.
"What I think is necessary for the country now, what the country needs is calm leadership. That's exactly what I'm providing and I'm providing that with the full support of my Cabinet," she told reporters.
The statement follows an unfortunate series of events during May's closing speech at the party conference in Manchester, including a stubborn cough, being heckled by a prankster and letters falling off the backdrop as she spoke about the image of modern Britain.


-Always be prepared when it comes to D. Heck, when it comes to ANYTHING. But ESPECIALLY when it comes to D. I haven't shared much about Lucas's birth, but I went into labour while we were an hour away and had to drive straight to the hospital. I walked into L&D with nothing but the clothes on my back. There wasn't even a bag prepared at home for Fred to get. We had nothing ready for the baby either... The bassinet wasn't set up, we had no newborn diapers, no car seat... The only thing I had done was wash his clothes. But worst of all, we had to fly by the seat of our pants with Elise. We had no one to take care of her in the days following Lucas's birth. Her care manual was still a few pages away from being done. We were lucky to have insulin and an extra pod with us the night Lucas was born.
-Have a back-up plan to your back-up plan. And another plan just in case. We weren't totally unprepared when it came to Elise's care. In the event Lucas came early, we had approached a few friends that had an inkling of how to care for Elise to see if they were comfortable staying in the waiting room while Fred was in the OR with me. Unfortunately, friend #1 was out of town. Because it was getting late, friend #2 took Mattias to his house. Thankfully, friend #3 was able to get up to the hospital about 30 minutes after I went into surgery.
-Nurses are the bomb-diggity. I was seriously in a panic about what to do with Elise. If Lucas had waited until his due date, my mom would have been here to look after the kids. But the doc wanted me to get into surgery ASAP and our friend couldn't be get there right away. The amazing nurses in L&D stepped up and offered to care for Elise until B could get there. One even stayed past the end of her shift. And as I quickly went over her pump,CGM and the glucagon with them, I wasn't met with blank or confused looks. Love those ladies! And what better place for Elise to be, right?
At one point I had three doctors appointments in one day, making it a grand total of five for the week.
I got pink eye in the other eye.
During all this, diabetes was being a jerk. And I feel awful saying this, but I had no time or energy to try and fix it. It really took its toll on poor Elise.
-I am so thankful for the pump. We were still on MDI when Mattias was born and it was hard. I think it would be almost impossible this time around. I am still trying to learn time management with three kiddos, and dinner time is HARD. I had planned on preparing some meals and freezing them for Lucas's arrival, but I never got around to it. Now that my mom has left, things are still so crazy that dinner time sneaks up on me and I don't have anything made. Needless to say, we've been getting a lot of take-out. I just need to figure out a rhythm to this three kids thing. Or hire a professional chef. Anyway, I'm thankful that the pump makes mealtime a little less stressful.
Whew... That was a long one. And I'm pretty sure I forgot some stuff. As long as this was, it's probably a good thing I did.
You have a beautiful new son and you're all still doing okay. Hope your mom's feeling better.
You're going to be great!
But reading that list..., just made me sigh.
Congrats for making it through!
First Comgrats!!! He is soo precious!
I love your posts on what you have learned, I think it offers great insight for others. I'm sorry Elise was feeling crappy, but sometimes D has to take a back seat.
We eat a lot of meatballs in my house. I call them lazy meatballs because I am too lazy to even grind breadcrumbs. I toss a hunk of ground meat (usually half turkey half beef) in a bowl and add in some rolled oats, garlic, egg, salt & pepper & minced onions. Roll em up & toss them in a crock pot filled wtih jarred sauce. Let them cook on low for a few hours and you have some ridiculously delicious meatballs that are low-carb to boot. I make a ton and then end up freezing a whole bunch so I can pull them out and make a quick dinner. Or McDonalds. Never underestimate McDonalds. I have yet to see a BG spike after a meal of nuggets, apples & fries.
You are doing amazing! We are not having anymore kids, but I panic at the thought of what would we do with Natalie if we did. How awesome are those nurses...and you didn't get blank stares...even more amazing! And your poor Mom and pink eye! Wow. I hear ya on the pump being awesome and making things so much easier. Those meatballs sound awesome that Krissy posted.
Wow - what a ride! I hope that everyone is feeling better.

There is an entire Tesla fan base that is waiting year after year to see what Elon Musk will release. Tesla's technology is like no other, it is said to be over the top innovative which is why people are dying to get their hands on it. The best part is that each year new car models come out, and these ingenious designs are only one better than the other.
Tesla has definitely been a company that has set the bar very high for other manufactures. Although it has had some competition, there is still nothing that compares to it. Tesla has actually beat the record for being one of the companies that sold over 400,000 of their newest car models in only two weeks, and therefore it continues to take the lead in innovative car designs.
The newest release that Tesla has launched has been the Tesla Pickup Truck and people were fascinated to know everything that there was to know about it. However, aside from wanting to know what the newest gadgets on this truck were going to be, people were also looking into finding out all of the pros and cons of this vehicle. Especially, people that were looking into purchasing it, needed to find out if the pickup truck was as amazing as Tesla was promoting it.
Elon Musk claims that this Tesla Pickup Truck has proven to be a game-changer because it is expected to tow up to 14,000 points and it will have a driving range of 500 - miles.
The truck itself has an insane model; it looks like something out of this world, and, therefore, if you are looking for innovative designs this might be the ideal truck for you.
The amazing part about this truck is that it is an Electric vehicle, something that has never been seen before. And although the competition claims that there are other companies that use electrified versions of their own trucks, there is really nothing that compares to Tesla's model.
A major disadvantage that this car has is that it is not meant to be driven through long distances, which is quite an inconvenience because this is a factor that people rely on when it comes to trucks. And although it claims that it can drive a range of 500 plus miles, it is said that the truck is meant for short distances in order to perform adequately.
Although it is a pickup truck, this Tesla model isn't designed for heavy-duty use. It is meant for recreational use, however, people seem very disappointed to find out that it can't carry heavy loads on its back.
This is Tesla's most expensive model yet. Only the cheapest truck has been priced at $39,900 however, there are more trucks from this range that have additional components which are even far more expensive. As if Tesla wasn't expensive enough already.
If there is something that people are aware of is that Tesla comes up with the coolest and most innovative models year after year. There is an entire Tesla fan base that is waiti...

A video by the Norwegian Students' and Academics' International Fund satirizes the image of Africa put forth by a lifetime's worth of "We Are the World"s.
What do you think of when you think about Africa? A very few of you may have traveled there for reasons cultural or animal. For some, your natural sense of curiosity has at least compelled you to stumble upon certain FIFA rankings and possibly Zef music. For a disappointing majority of Western people, however, all knowledge about Africa starts and ends with the commercials produced by charities working to raise money for various African causes–even as the continent's infrastructure improves and the economy grows. Now, a group from Norway is working to challenge this perception gap, or at least draw attention to it.
Africa for Norway is a new video created by the Norwegian Students' and Academics' International Fund to parody the reductionist image of Africa proffered by a lifetime's worth of "We Are the World"s. The video encourages Africans to collect radiators together so that they might "spread the warmth" over to poor Norway, via a fictional program called Radi-Aid. Having lived their entire lives in a sunny, tropical climate, Africans' hearts go out to the Norwegians in the time of their freezing plight.
Watching Africa for Norway may not bring about any real change in either area, nor any heat to Norway, but perhaps it will change some people's perception.

Q: Create Access report that lists information from one table, which is matched on ID from another table I'm updating this as the previous answer turned out to not be what I really needed.
I have two tables in my Access database. One is called Billings, one is called Bookings. Each table has a column called Booking Number, which is how they are related. The Billings table also has a field called Container. What I want to do is:

*

*Create a one page report for each Booking Number (which can be expanded to multiple pages depending on the number of containers)

*In the body of the report I would like to list each Container (along with other information about each container) on separate rows

Here are my tables:
Bookings
----------------
ID | Booking Number
 1 | '1234'
 2 | '1235'

Billings
----------------
ID | Booking Number | Container
 1 | '1234'         | '12'
 2 | '1234'         | '16'
 3 | '1235'         | '18'

Based on these two tables, there should be a report for Booking #1234, and Booking #1235. Booking #1234's report should list Container's 12 and 16, while Booking #1235's report would only list 18. I'm a PHP/MySQL developer, so I understand SQL queries. However, the way I would write the query for MySQL obviously does not work for Access. At the moment I am using a Module similar to the answer below, but it does not do what I need it to do. This is my current query:
SELECT
    b.*,
    ListContainers(b.[Booking Number]) AS Containers
FROM
    Bookings AS b
WHERE
    ((b.[Booking Number]) Is Not Null);

This will create a comma separated list of the containers associated with each Booking Number, but I want to create a separate row for each Container, which will also include other information from the Billings table.
Has anyone had any experience with a similar situation, or know any steps I could take to accomplish what I'm looking to do?

A: [This is my answer to the original question, before the "spec" changed.]
Create a new Module in Access and paste in the following code
Public Function ListContainers(Booking_Number As String) As String
Dim cdb As DAO.Database, rst As DAO.Recordset, rtn As String
Const Separator = ", "
Set cdb = CurrentDb
rtn = ""
Set rst = cdb.OpenRecordset("SELECT Container FROM Billings WHERE [Booking Number]=""" & Booking_Number & """ ORDER BY Container", dbOpenSnapshot)
Do While Not rst.EOF
    rtn = rtn & rst!Container & Separator
    rst.MoveNext
Loop
rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set cdb = Nothing
If Len(rtn) > 0 Then
    rtn = Left(rtn, Len(rtn) - Len(Separator))  '' trim trailing separator
End If
ListContainers = rtn
End Function

You can then use that Function in a query, like this
SELECT [Booking Number], ListContainers([Booking Number]) AS Containers
FROM Billings

That will return
Booking Number  Containers
--------------  ----------
1234            12, 16
1235            18

A: For your new requirements you'll want to use a "subreport" to list the containers (and related information). For details, see my recent answer to a similar question here.

According to the British Social Attitudes survey, 51 per cent of people believe that cohabiting couples are protected by common law marriage. Sadly, this is a myth. There is no such legal status as common law marriage. This means that you need to think carefully about the choices you make.
If you can agree who your children will mainly live with and how and when you will both see them, there is no need to ask the court to make an order. If you can't agree, you may need to consider applying to the court for a child arrangements order. Either parent can apply for a child arrangements order for their child to live with them but you must have PR.
You may want to consider agreeing a parenting plan. This establishes how you and your child's mum intend to make arrangements for your children after the separation.
Agreeing who lives where is a critical decision that can affect your relationships with your children for years. Get advice before you make any serious moves, such as moving out of the home, or asking your child's mother to leave.
If you decide to move out, it's a good idea to find somewhere that your child(ren) can stay over night comfortably, and agree arrangements for when they stay with you/their mum before you move out.
The main choices that you have are buying a new home, renting privately or lodging although your choices may be limited by your financial position. If your child is going to live with you for most of the time, you may qualify to rent from your local authority or housing association.

The pint (/ˈpaɪnt/, listen (help·info); symbol pt,[1][2] sometimes abbreviated as p[3]) is a unit of volume or capacity in both the imperial and United States customary measurement systems. In both of those systems it is traditionally one eighth of a gallon. The British imperial pint is about 20% larger than the American pint because the two systems are defined differently. Almost all other countries have standardized on the metric system, so although some of them still also have traditional units called pints (such as for beverages), the volume varies by regional custom.

The imperial pint (≈ 568 mL) is used in the United Kingdom and Ireland and to a limited extent in Commonwealth nations. In the United States, two kinds of pint are used: a liquid pint (≈ 473 mL) and a less-common dry pint (≈ 551 mL). Other former British colonies, such as Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, converted to the metric system in the 1960s and 1970s; so while the term pint may still be in common use in these countries, it may no longer refer to the British imperial pint once used throughout the British Empire.
Since the majority of countries in the world no longer use American or British imperial units, and most are non-English speaking, a "pint of beer" served in a tavern outside the United Kingdom and the United States may be measured by other standards. In Commonwealth countries it may be a British imperial pint of 568 mL, in countries serving large numbers of American tourists it might be a US liquid pint of 473 mL, in many metric countries it is a half-litre of 500 mL, in some places it is another measure reflecting national and local laws and customs.[4]

Further information: pint
Pint comes from the Old French word pinte and perhaps ultimately from Vulgar Latin pincta meaning "painted", for marks painted on the side of a container to show capacity.[5] It is linguistically related, though greatly diverging in meaning, to Pinto – an Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese name for a person with a speckled or dark complexion, often used as a surname in these languages.

The United States dry pint is equal to one eighth of a United States dry gallon. It is used in the United States, but is not as common as the liquid pint.
A now-obsolete unit of measurement in Scotland, known as the Scottish pint, or joug, is equal to 1696 mL (2 pints 19.69 imp fl oz). It remained in use until the 19th century, surviving significantly longer than most of the old Scottish measurements.
The word pint is one of numerous false friends between English and French. They are not the same unit although they have the same linguistic origin. The French word pinte is etymologically related, but historically described a larger unit. The Royal pint (pinte du roi) was 48 French cubic inches (952.1 mL),[7] but regional pints varied in size depending on locality and on commodity (usually wine or olive oil) varying from 0.95 L to over 2 L.[7]
In Canada, the Weights and Measures Act (R.S. 1985) defines a pint in English as one eighth of a gallon, but defines a pinte in French as one quarter of a gallon.[8] Thus, if "a pint of beer" is ordered in English, servers are legally required to serve an imperial pint (568 mL) of beer,[9] but if "une pinte de bière" is ordered in French, it is legally required to serve an imperial quart (une pinte), which is 1136 mL, or twice as much.[10] To order an imperial pint when speaking French in Canada, one must instead order une chopine de bière.[11]
In Flanders, the word pintje, meaning 'little pint', refers only to a 250 mL glass of lager. Some West- and East-Flemish dialects use it as a word for beaker. The equivalent word in German, Pintchen, refers to a glass of a third of a litre in Cologne and the Rhineland.
In South Australia, ordering "a pint of beer" results in 425 mL (15 fl oz) being served. Customers must specifically request "an Imperial pint of beer" to get 570 mL (20 fl oz). Australians from other states often contest the size of their beers in Adelaide.[12]
EquivalenceEdit
One US liquid pint of water weighs 1.04318 pounds (16.6909 oz), which gives rise to a popular saying: "A pint's a pound, the world around".[13]
However, the statement does not hold around the world because the British imperial pint, which was also the standard measure in Australia, India, Malaya, New Zealand, South Africa and other former British colonies, weighs 1.2528 pounds (20.0448 oz), giving rise to the origin of a popular[citation needed] saying used in Commonwealth countries: "a pint of pure water weighs a pound and a quarter".[14]
The pint is traditionally one eighth of a gallon. In the Latin of the apothecaries' system, the symbol O (octavius or octarius; plural octavii or octarii – reflecting the "eighth" concept in its octa- syllable) was used for the pint.[15] Because of the variety of definitions of a gallon, there have been equally many versions of the pint.
Britain's North American colonies adopted the British wine gallon, defined in 1707 as 231 cubic inches exactly (3 in × 7 in × 11 in) as their basic liquid measure, from which the US wet pint is derived; and the British corn gallon (1⁄8 of a standard "Winchester" bushel of corn, or 268.8 cubic inches) as its dry measure, from which the US dry pint is derived.
In 1824, the British parliament replaced all the various gallons with a new imperial gallon based on ten pounds of distilled water at 62 °F (16.667 °C) (277.42 cubic inches), from which the current UK pint is derived.
The various Canadian provinces continued to use the Queen Anne Winchester wine gallon as a basis for their pint until 1873, well after Britain adopted the imperial system in 1824. This made the Canadian pint compatible with the American pint, but after 1824 it was incompatible with the British pint. The traditional French pinte used in Lower Canada (Quebec) was twice the size of the traditional English "pint" used in Upper Canada (Ontario). After four of the British provinces united in the Canadian Confederation in 1867, Canada legally adopted the British imperial system of measure in 1873, making Canadian liquid units incompatible with American ones from that year forward.[16] In 1873, the French Canadian pinte was defined as being one imperial quart or two imperial pints, while the imperial pint was legally called a chopine in French Canada. Canadian imperial units of liquid measure remain incompatible with American traditional units to this day, and although the Canadian pint, quart, and gallon are still legal units of measure in Canada, they are still 20% larger than the American ones.
Historically, units called a pint (or the equivalent in the local language) were used across much of Europe, with values varying between countries from less than half a litre to over one litre. Within continental Europe, these pints were replaced with liquid measures based on the metric system during the 19th century. The term is still in limited use in parts of France, where une pinte means an imperial quart, which is 2 imperial pints, whereas a pint is une chopine—and Central Europe, notably some areas of Germany[17] and Switzerland, where ein Schoppen is colloquially used for roughly half a litre. In Spanish holiday resorts frequented by British tourists, 'pint' is often taken to mean a beer glass (especially a dimple mug). Half-pint 285 mL, and pint mugs , 570 mL, may therefore be referred to as media jarra ('half jar/jug') and jarra (grande) ('large jar/jug').[citation needed]
Effects of metricationEdit
Pints are commonly used for the sale of milk in the United Kingdom. The label gives both the metric and the imperial volume.
In the British and Irish metrication processes, the pint was replaced by metric units as the legally defined primary unit of measure for trading by volume or capacity, except for the sale of draught beer and cider, and milk in returnable containers.[18][19] As a supplementary unit, the pint can still be used in those countries in all circumstances. UK legislation mandates that draught beer and cider must be sold in a third of a pint, two thirds of a pint or multiples of half a pint, which must be served in stamped, measured glasses or from government-stamped meters. Milk, in returnable containers may come in pints without the metric equivalent stated. However all other goods apart from the aforementioned exceptions must be sold or labelled in metric units. Milk in plastic containers mostly comes multiples of 1 pint sizes, but are required to display the metric equivalent on packaging.[20] Filtered milk, and UHT Milk sold in the UK is commonly sold in multiples of 1 litre bottles or containers. [21] Recipes published in the UK and Ireland would have given ingredient quantities in imperial, where the pint is used as a unit for larger liquid quantities, as well as the metric measure - though recipes written now are more likely to use metric units.[22][23]
In Australia and New Zealand, a subtle change was made to 1 pint milk bottles during the conversion from imperial to metric in the 1970s. The height and diameter of the milk bottle remained unchanged, so that existing equipment for handling and storing the bottles was unaffected, but the shape was adjusted to increase the capacity from 568 mL to 600 mL—a conveniently rounded metric measure. Such milk bottles are no longer officially referred to as pints. However, the "pint glass" in pubs in Australia remains closer to the standard imperial pint, at 570 mL. It holds about 500 mL of beer and about 70 mL of froth, except in South Australia, where a pint is served in a 425 mL glass and a 570 mL glass is called an "imperial pint". In New Zealand, there is no longer any legal requirement for beer to be served in standard measures: in pubs, the largest size of glass, which is referred to as a pint, varies, but usually contains 425 mL.[24]
After metrication in Canada, milk and other liquids in pre-packaged containers came in metric sizes so conversion issues could no longer arise. Draft beer in Canada, when advertised as a "pint", is legally required to be an imperial pint (568 mL).[25][26][27] With the allowed margin of error of 0.5 fluid ounces, a "pint" that is less than 554 mL of beer is an offence, though this regulation is often violated and rarely enforced.[28] To avoid legal issues, many drinking establishments are moving away from using the term "pint" and are selling "glasses" or "sleeves" of beer, neither of which have a legal definition.[29]
A 375 mL bottle of liquor in the US and the Canadian maritime provinces is sometimes referred to as a "pint" and a 200 mL bottle is called a "half-pint", harking back to the days when liquor came in US pints, fifths, quarts, and half-gallons.[30] Liquor in the US has been sold in metric-sized bottles since 1980 although beer is still sold in US traditional units.[31]
In France, a standard 250 mL measure of beer is known as un demi ("a half"), originally meaning a half-pint.

Surge in business loans propels profit at BMO, Scotiabank
in Loans
Bank of Nova Scotia and Bank of Montreal, Canada's third-and fourth-largest lenders, got a boost last quarter as the nation's businesses increased borrowing to meet customer demand.
Commercial-loan balances at Scotiabank's domestic banking unit surged 19 per cent to $72.7 billion (US$56.5 billion) and gained 13 per cent to $96.2 billion in Bank of Montreal's Canadian business in the three months through April. Fiscal second-quarter profit at both lenders topped analysts' estimates.
While the economic outlook has softened amid expectations for continued interest-rate increases, preliminary figures suggest Canada's economic growth at the start of the year exceeded expectations, and the unemployment rate last month fell to the lowest since 1976. That has the country's businesses spending more to ramp up output and stockpile inventory to protect against supply-chain snarls.
"You had quite a bit of reopening and a lot of consumer demand in the quarter, so businesses are working to produce more," Paul Gulberg, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said in an interview. "Businesses are also staring down the interest-rate increases that are coming, so they're borrowing more now to lock in at lower rates."
Those central bank interest-rate increases, meant to cool surging inflation, are already giving the banks a boost in profitability. Scotiabank's net interest margin — the difference in what it earns on loans versus what it pays for deposits — widened to 2.23 per cent in the fiscal second quarter from 2.16 per cent in the first quarter. Bank of Montreal's net interest margin on average earning assets expanded to 1.69 per cent from 1.64 per cent in the first quarter.
Interest-rate hikes gave an even more pronounced lift to results in Scotiabank's Latin America-focused international business. The unit's net interest margin widened to 3.86 per cent from 3.76 per cent in the first quarter.
Both banks also boosted their dividends. Bank of Montreal raised its quarterly payout 4.5 per cent to US$1.39 a share. That topped the Bloomberg dividend forecast of US$1.36 a share. Scotiabank raised its dividend 3 per cent to US$1.03 a share, matching the Bloomberg estimate.
Scotiabank Chief Executive Officer Brian Porter has revamped the international unit by focusing on larger, more-profitable markets and selling off smaller, underperforming operations. The unit benefited last quarter from growth in mortgages and commercial loans.
Net income in the international segment surged 44 per cent to US$605 million, benefiting from growth in commercial loans and mortgages. The unit's net interest margin also widened 10 basis points from last quarter, reaching 3.86 per cent.
"Scotia came in well ahead of expectations, with the continued growth in international along with a better-than-expected increase in the dividend the stock should see some support in the market," John Aiken, an analyst at Barclays Plc, said in a note. "Scotia also showed the margin expansion that the market has been looking for in conjunction with rising rates."
Shares of Scotiabank climbed 2.4 per cent to US$83.50 at 11:43 a.m. in Toronto. Bank of Montreal advanced 0.3 per cent to US$133.41.
Bank of Montreal's US business, which the lender is expanding with the US$16.3 billion acquisition of Bank of the West, saw the benefit of the commercial-lending expansion as well. Commercial loans there rose 9.4 per cent to US$85.7 million.
The business is slated to get a further boost, becoming North America's fourth-largest commercial bank when Bank of Montreal's purchase of San Francisco-based Bank of the West from BNP Paribas SA is completed late this year. Bank of Montreal reiterated that it expects the deal to close by the end of 2022.

What Is A Blended Family?
Most people recognize "step families" (with stepmoms, stepdads, or step-siblings) as blended families, but are unaware of the other types of blended families in our society. For example, a woman that is frequently referenced as a "Baby-Mama" maybe one half of a blended family. Similarly, a "Baby Daddy" may also be one half of a blended family. Both women and men who have children out of wedlock (unmarried) create the foundation for a blended family. They each allow for future relationships and/or marriage where two people come together and raise children. Some men and women come with their own children; others make additional children with their new partners. However the family is created, it encompasses a need for a "blending" of the family unit.
OBF Partners & Affiliates
Relationships are special, and many start off in a positive fashion - especially if a child is created!
Most dictionaries define a blended family as a family unit where at least one parent has a child (or children) from a previous relationship that is not genetically related to the other parent. This includes stepparents and single parents (divorced and/or never married) who raise children with a significant other.

Cardiff — Wales were hailed on Sunday for the energy, drive and belief that powered them to the Six Nations Grand Slam, with legendary flyhalf Barry John saying the World Cup could not come around quickly enough.
The Welsh thumped Ireland 25-7 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Saturday to follow victories over France (24-19), Italy (26-15), England (21-13) and Scotland (18-11).
Wales, John continued, "are getting more and more confident and need fear nobody out in Japan", where the World Cup runs from September 20 until November 2.
Former Welsh and Lions prop Graham Price said Wales are thriving on the winning momentum that has seen them rise to second in World Rugby standings.
"Get to the World Cup and anything can happen!" Price said, with Wales drawn in Pool D along with Australia, Fiji, Georgia and Uruguay.
Sam Warburton, who was named Welsh skipper at the age of 22 by Gatland and led Wales to their 2012 Grand Slam, hailed the "fairytale finish" for his former coach, who steps down from his job after the World Cup.
"It will be the most rewarding of his three Grand Slams because it is almost a fairytale to do this in his final Six Nations campaign," Warburton said in the Sunday Times.
Warburton maintained that the sole team in world rugby he would worry about Wales playing are double defending world champions New Zealand.
Ian McGeechan, the former Scotland and Lions centre who was Gatland's predecessor as Lions coach, hailed the New Zealander as a "fantastic servant" to Wales and northern hemisphere rugby in general.
There can be no denying the pressure has been ramped up on Wales, where the public are notoriously fickle and every family, as the joke goes, has an international selector in its ranks.
But Warburton said Gatland has "simply changed the psychology of the nation". "Wales are now a team of achievers and the nation wants and believes that the team can achieve," he said.

Think of a time when you couldn't read your email.
Not because you didn't want to, but because you physically couldn't do it . Maybe the WiFi was down, your computer was out of juice, your phone was being repaired. Maybe it was while on a flight? During a short camping trip? At your childhood home in the woods?
Offline is the exception. Being constantly connected is the norm.
Despite this new normal, for some reason, we still talk about "ecommerce" as if it is something separate and distinct from "real" commerce. This "ecommerce" thing is the all-powerful, mysterious Oz, pulling levers and working disruptive magic. Every day, another major retailer claims online shopping, showrooming, and free shipping are killing retail. Ecommerce is full of crazy new ideas like omnichannel, B2B2C, ultra-streamlined logistics, social selling and so on.
Let's pause for the moment.
The 1908 Sears Roebuck catalog had every strategy necessary for a successful retailer today, in the year 2016.
Omnichannel? Yep. They had a wildly successful catalog and physical presence in their own stores, general stores, at state fairs and pretty much everywhere else.
B2B2C? Of course. Manufacturers took orders via Sears who brokered the information, transactions and delivery logistics.
Social? Check! It says right on the cover, "Please Show this Catalogue (sic) to your Friends and Neighbors" — a 1908 version of the "Share This" button.
Delivery logistics? Are you kidding? There was nothing like it! You could buy a wood stove, clothing, a car, live chickens, or even a house and Sears would get the goods to you by any means necessary — rail car, horse and buggy, hand-carry — whatever could move goods, did.
So why, today, is Sears circling the drain like so many other retailers struggling with ecommerce?
Maybe this is because buying stuff via an internet-connected device is called ecommerce — not simply commerce.
What's in a name? Maybe more than expected. One of the oldest tropes in mythology is how the act of naming someone or something imparts or removes power. It's as if the naming of the thing sets the future path, be it good or bad. Calling the act of shopping via an internet connected device ecommerce predetermines its destiny to be limited to only online. Instead of calling it was it really is—commerce—it now has mystery, power and boundaries.
That one letter —e — made finding and buying things online something distinct, something separate, and perhaps a little abstract as compared to the "real" commerce business being done in stores.
For some, ecommerce was a distraction from the bigger picture. The Borders bookstore chain famously outsourced selling books online to Amazon: visitors to borders.com were simply re-directed to Amazon. Though Borders tried to course-correct several years later, the outsourcing was cited as a top reason for their bankruptcy.
Some retailers saw ecommerce as a slightly threatening nuisance, and put into its own "separate business unit" box to protect the "real" business. Often, these retailers would use a rather perplexing strategy of leveraging ecommerce to primarily to "drive in-store visits and sales," thereby reducing any hope of the "e-business" proving its potential value.
Perhaps the most curious ecommerce strategy is when they want their customers to shop online via in-store kiosks for widely available merchandise they display but don't stock.
Touted as a way to provide customers with an "omnichannel experience," these retailers seem to have forgotten why the customer is in their store in the first place: to buy (and take home) their stuff! Retailers have further divided the customer experience; online and offline disparities are now more prevalent than ever.
At what point did retailers lose focus on the customer? Customers don't stop to think what drove them to a website, what device they're using to shop, or if they'd prefer to go into a store. They're simply… shopping.
Much like Voldemort and other villains of folklore, the e-monster has a crucial weakness: its power is limited to a customer experience mediated by the capabilities (or limits) of an ecommerce platform. As it turns out, the core capabilities of any ecommerce platform (FIND-SHOW-BUY) are not magical, they are procedural (and should be treated as such).
Commerce is much bigger than ecommerce. It's the total customer experience, and retailers are starting to use technology to bridge the gap they've helped create.
Think about your last really good customer experience in a physical store.
Chances are, you were greeted by an employee. They might've asked you if they can help you find anything, they might've recognized you as a frequent customer. They might've shown you something that complemented the product you'd been carrying around the store with you, and they might've been able to upsell you on that little $ 10 add-on at the cash register.
Now, think about your last really good online customer experience. Chances are, you were thrilled when you found what you were looking for, got a good price, quick shipping, and an easy checkout.
If we kill the e and get back to the roots of commerce, we can start to think of technology as a customer experience enhancement — as well as a business accelerator. We can blend the best parts of the in-store experience with the best parts of the online experience. We're seeing hints of this in the marketplace — Lowes and Home Depot have both started to reduce the distinction between "in-store" and "online" — they just seek to create a quality customer experience where they can and have invested heavily in a technology ecosystem to support the always-connected customer.
The way to kill the e-monster is to change its game.
There's no magic bullet in a slightly better shopping cart, visual commerce or any of the other 10,000 tactics discussed in meeting after meeting. The things that will make the e-monster stand down are to stop naming it, obsessing over it and fearing it, and let it fade into memory as we get back to work on doing "commerce" better than the next company.

I have more than twenty-five reported decisions. I have had the privilege of representing Soviet dissidents, Vladimir Bukovsky and Aleksey Tumerman. I participated in the representation of Walter Polovchak, the "littlest defector", the twelve year-old Russian boy who refused to return to the Soviet Union with his parents during the 1980's.

A new Microsoft patent for an "environmental display" has popped up on the internet, showing the company's concept to introduce projection technology into the next Xbox.
The idea is that the Xbox 720 and next-gen Kinect cam will essentially turn your room into the gaming environment.
Previously, a Kinect Glasses technology patent emerged, which is once again mentioned in this new patent. The use of this technology with the Kinect Glasses could essentially allow players to interact with 3D holograms within their room.


Breakup may be a good descriptor for rivers shedding their winter coat. Not so for arctic lakes, such as Puntilla Lake. It's a prolonged, circuitous process of freeze thaw. During the day the snow melts away, collecting on top of the floating ice, forming small puddles and giving the lake surface a gray, green, blue appearance depending on the depth of the overflow. During the night the water freezes, some mornings it is just a thin crust.
How much longer until the first float plane of the season can touch down on the lake?
