tv Media Buzz FOX News November 2, 2015 12:00am-1:01am PST
have a great sunday, everybody. \s on the buzz beater, the republican party declares war on nbc after the awful debate on cnbc, with the moderators sometimes sounding snarky, conned se condesce condescending. >> they said you have as much cutting taxes without increasing the deficit as you would away of flying frrp from that podium. when you look at the average of national polls right now is donald trump. when you look at him, do you see someone with the moral authority to unite a economy. >> that's such a nasty question, but thank you, governor. >> even in new jersey what you're doing is called rude. >> the questions that have been
asked so far in this debate illustrate why the american people don't truth the media. >> the democrats have the ultimate super-pac, called the mainstream media. why is the business network being so widely panned. will the rnc dump the upcoming debate. and launching a deathwatch for jeb bush. and why is donald trump after losing his lead in some polls calling the media scum? and we unveil our new microscope using cutting hef edge technology to how the candidates are being covered in print and online. which stores are getting traction. plus bob woodward on hillary's e-mail mess, and the challenge of cover trump. >> if i were doing trump, i would do 50,000 words, and do each deal, and look at, you know, how did he get his money. you know, this is a guy who's been in the news for decades.
and why he's once again investigating richard nixon and watergate. i'm howard kurtz, this is "mediabuzz." republican national committee is going ballistic over that cnbc clash in colorado, which was panned by critics of all stripes and didn't play well with the republican audience. >> does that the not sped to your vetting process or judgment in any way? >> no, it speaks to the fact that i don't -- [ audience booing ] >> the tone of the questions, why washington bureau chief john harwood, carl kin nilla and becky quick prompted -- >> ben carson, can you do math? john kasich, will you insult two people over here?
marco rubio, why don't you resign? jeb bush, why have your numbers fallen? how about talking about it is substantive issue that is people care about? >> so what did you think of the questions and questioners tonight? >> well, i think think obviously had an agenda. >> not only with the questions snarky, divisive and nonsubstantive, they were just biased. >> joining us -- mercedes shall lau schlaff, and andrew mccarron, a reporter for wusa-tv. and joan trippi, democratic strategist and fox news contributors. >> i've made my view clear thatted mod r5i9ors seemed to reek of disdain at times, but in your view, were they politically
biased? >> absolutely. they asked questions like would you support the budget deal in washington? or, for example, that exchange between carl quint nilla and ted cruz, i wouldn't have a beer with you? this tone, and quite frankly they didn't cover enough pont topics like health care. this is a business channel, we want to see what's -- they missed the ball with that. >> that's strong criticism. it is instead a business channel, usually covering the world of wall street and stocks and bonds. were they ready for primetime? >> i thofs it a the irony is cnbc has some of the finest business journalists in the world, but i think the questions were absurd and offensive, and the respect for the moderators
basically slim to none. i think in the end the greatest lot was for the american electorate who didn't learn anything about the candidates' policies or ideas. >> fox took some heat after its debate. i would argue those sequels were more on substance than many of the cnbc questions, but were they justified in complaining what trump called nasty questions, and then pivoting to rip the mainstream media? >> absolutely. i mean, absolutely. i don't even understand some of the criticism. it was so clearly biased, it was like fat pitch just sort of lobbed up there for each candidate to knock out of the park, and look, the gop field won, cnbc lost, i think part of that was disappointment that people were looking forward to an economic debate led by a network that has some standing in that, to ask the right
questions. they didn't instead sort of flail away. >> if you look at the jv debate, they actually asked substantive questions compared to what we saw in the primetime debate. it went from talking about the economy s. we talked more about jindal and santorum's policies than we did with the primetime candidates. >> i fell like the few times it was legitimate -- it was easy to make the villain at that point. like ted cruz, basically he went on a diatribe. >> he had the line of the night. what i've been saying is the moderators had a worse night than the mets. john harwood was interviewed. let's take a look. >> the energy and anger within the republican party that we saw expressed at's, the moderators, is much akin to what was going on in the house. >> so andrea, reince priebus,
the head of the rnc writing a her saying we are suspending our partnership with nbc, which of course is part of the same company, but not involved in the debate, the debate scheduled for february over what cnbc did, he called it a betrayal, mean-spirited and petty questions. what do you make of this? >> i think he had no choice, but like you, i believe that will happen. if you read his letter, i didn't realize until i read it was for part of the agreement was the candidates' questions to be about the finance matters. it was about their weaknesses, which i thought john kasich -- >> so lame. >> but very lame, but he set the tone of this entire debate by absolutely bypassing the question, so that fed into the lack of respect for the moderators, justified, i have to say. >> i think it is about the republican national committee and priebus himself being under criticism, basically getting nbc
to grovel, and then make up. in the brief note from nbc, what else was mentioned? >> i think one things analysis nbc was partnering with telemundo. i it tell you working with the folks at telemundo, we have jose diaz-balart, it is a missed opportunity. >> but don't you think it's highly symbolic. >> incredibly. >> i think it's absolutely insane to even think about skipping an nbc debate. for a whole bunch of reasons. first of all, let's say they did the same thing again. again, gop feel is going to win that debate. it's going to be so obvious how the questions are loaded, they'll knock it out of the park, and they are talking to a gop audience that will decide -- make the decision, so that will help them. second of all, i think, you know, what they missed was, no, we took the biased stuff that we
think is bias, we're going to do it again, we're going to let nbc prove to the world what they are, and by the way, challenge the democratic party. why won't you go on fox? why not have fox have a debate? it's a democrat, why not? so you sort of push -- you kind of push it -- >> so our viewers no, fox news asked to host one of the democratic debates and was turned down by the dnc. >> i think that's a mistake. >> after what i call the cnbc train wreck, i said this hurt everyone in the media, people say journalists are biased, and then you have ben carson saying maybe the debates shouldn't be on the television, but on the internet, and then ted cruz saying, well we should have republicans doble t republicans doing the is it questions? >> let's go. a lot of these gop caucus voters
listen to radio, this is where they get their news. why not? >> how about having journalists who try to be fair? >> why not down a town hall where the american people can do the questions? >> you need a mix of both. let's drill down a bit and look down as some of the questions, and we'll start with john heartward, if chief washington correspondent, he was mixing it up with marco rubio or over the senator as tax plan. this is what happened. >> just to be clear. >> you have to go back and correct the story. >> no, i did not. >> oh, you did. >> so harwood says, no, i didn't correct, but in fact there was a tweet earlier, in a different context, a different question, cited the criticism by the right-leaning tax foundation, rubio said it is a correction, but on television he said, no, no, i never corrected. >> it was if shocking to watch
him take that position, but he never said anything at the debate, which again mace harwood look very weak and gave rubio the upper hand. >> which he's not. he is a solid journalist. that's what -- the whole night was baffling that some of these question. >> i think unfortunately he gave them some ammunition. let's go to becky quick. she was talking to donald trump, and she was bringing up a statement where she said that trump in the past had criticized mark zuckerberg, the facebook mogul, on immigration. let's look at what happened. >> mr. touch you've been very critical of mark zuckerberg, who wanted -- >> i was not at all critical of him. >> where did i come up with this? >> probably, i don't know, you people where this stuff. >> my apologies, i'm sorry --
>> that was just a heart-stopping head-slapping moment for me as a journalist. look, it's not easy to moderate a president atdebate, but becky quick, who is a solid journalist in german, not a great moderator should have had that attribution right in front of her. she had about six questions, she should know every possible question. >> you never know a, and you said something, and here it is, and it turns out it was on trump's web page, and 20 minutes later, cnbc corrected it, so he policy gilesed, and she was right. >> she was correct. that was the irony of all of that. >> but there wasn't the prep. you didn't have the backup there. that's about preparing for the debate. it's not about the actual -- which makes it go haywire if you don't have that backup sitting there like you said. >> look at that lack of preparation compared to anderson cooper's performance, he listened intently to the answers, and clearly he was
superbly prepared. >> you know the moderators are in trouble when you become the story. so there you go. >> that sums it up. also the way the debate ended with donald trump taking credit for forcing cnbc to have only a two-hour debate, sxaending to three, and there were days of stories about how the campaign with you pushing back by the way, "new york times" asked its read es to post online the most ridiculous comments, got 600 responses. what happened? only for the republican debate, and i think that's the kind of thing that just makes people skeptical of the msm. ahead we'll go to our media microscope. our new technology that zeros in on what's moves, move this prompter, moving the needle. when we come back, bob woodward weighs in on donald trump, hillary clinton and how today's
journalists are covering the campaign.
bob woodward will also be renown for his role for blowing watergate open, but can those reporting methods also be applied to the 2016 campaign? i sat down with the author of the new book "the last of the president's men" here in studio 1. welcome. >> thank you. >> in the coverage of this campaign, do you feel more than any other that maybe substance and policy is taking a backseat to personality, polls and insults? >> yes, certainly. the question is who are these people? and how might they do things? in journalism or main job is to figure out what happened and
then why? and we need to drive into the question harder, who are these people? why are they running? what is their value system? i think it will be done, but it's going to take a lot of patience, and as you appointed out each week in the culture of the internet driven at an impatient speed, 144 characters, that depth doesn't get you there. >> on that point you were on a rally, you said we were going to find out my newspaper, your network all the news organizations will do a 20,000-word biography of every stage of her life. i must confess as it struck me as an old-fashioned observation, but what seems to drive the news cycle, the quick hits, the 50 tweets, the viral video. >> yes, but if you find something that is new and explains who these people are, that will drive the news cycle.
people will read it, or maybe they won't read all 30,000 words as frequently happens, but they will get the essence, because it will become part of the discussion. >> but does the culture reward that type of deep digging, which you know as anybody takes time, there are dry hauls, you have to cross check things, maybe have it checked by a lawyer. does the culture of journalism still reward that? >> yes, it does. what's important is the readers and viewers reward it. i mean at heart people want to look at the president as somebody who is very serious and what are the ideas driving them? and all of these questions that you can only answer with an in-depth excavation and biographical study. >> how would you cover donald trump, who not only seems to be attacks in the media, but
that criticism from the media in many ways seems to make him stronger? >> but if i were doing trump, i would do 50,000 words. do each deal and look at, you know, how did he get his money? this is a guy who's been in the news for decades. >> decades. >> and has a long history, as vladimir putin said, not a stage of our life passes without a trace, right? >> right. and trump is running on his business success. that's part of what he is selling to the company. >> sure. so there's a lot of work to be done. in fact with all of these candidates, in the end, if we talk about this after the election, i think we're going to say that we went back to the character studies, because -- you're not electing somebody -- a sound bite. you're electing somebody who's a person and we want to know that.
so i'm sold on the idea particularly after doing -- revisiting the nixon book. >> you have compared hillary's e-mail mess to rich v nixon's secret white house tapes, but later we now know as part of history, he talked about coverups and burglaries, and wiretapping. are you assuming there's something nefarious in hillries -- >> no, i'm not assuming anything, but the volume. give me 60,000 of your e-mails, and i will learn a lot about you. everyone always says something in an e-mail that perhaps they wish they didn't say. so, you know, we're going to see, but again it's the in-depth work, and in this case we have the fbi doing it for us. more with woodward later in the program. also ahead, is the press burying jeb prematurely and prodding him to drop out. what if you could measure every report, our brad-new media
microscope, in a moment.
we're unveiling an exclusive new feature on campaign coverage we're calling our media microscope. we're working with a new analytics company that examines, and how much pressure the candidates are drawing, positive or any, which issues are driving the campaign or fading from the radar, using a model the company calls the edge with technology that simply didn't exist a few years ago. let's look at who got the most attention before the cnbc debate on monday and turs. trump dominated, 55% of all coverage, wow, that's nearly 50,000 mentions in just two days. carson getting 22%, and down are down to 16% for jeb bush, under
7% for marco rubio. this was mostly negative. we've taken out the small proportion of neutral reports. the company foubd two thirds negative for trump, for bush, for rubio, and carson faring the worst of all, 79% negative. check out this sudden shift after the debate on thursday and friday. carson and trump still leading, but about 30% each, a significant drop for the donald and a sizable jump for carson, but rube i don't almost tripling, and bush up 19% after these went toe to toe. a dust-up that nearly everyone says rubio won, but when you look at the sentiment, negative still rules. all four candidates over 70% negative, carson still the highest at 78% negative. just a lot of negativity out there when you include so many
online sources. that cnbc debate really moved the needle especially no marco rubio. and. coming up, are the pundits hailing marco rubio and almost writing off jeb bush? what about donald trump complaining about the polls? and later, bob woodward diving back into watergate.
. the media consensus is -- >> let's talk about jeb and the deathwatch right now. it's not looking good. the donors are running for the exits now. >> if they're, kind of lack of a better term, a deathwatch. >> last night in boulder, in
that room it felt like a wake. >> there are those who says that decision is terminal for this campaign. >> i knew it was going to be a long journey, but to suggest it's terminal? c'mon, that's pretty funny. >> there is headlines -- >> it's not on life support. we have the greatest money and organization. we're doing fine. >> mercedes schlapp, andrea mccarron, and joe trippi are with us. should media be saying that? >> i think it's terribly unfair and highly editorial. there are nine candidates with poll numbers lower than jeb bush. the voters have a long time to make their decisions. no voters has cast his our her ballot. it did not help jeb bush at all, probably one of the most animated moments i've witnessed is his talking about fantasy football. but still -- >> a question from the cnbc
moderator, which he was bragging about his team, and chris christie saying why are we talking about fantasy football. >> let ate stipulate that jeb had a pretty lousy debate when he needed to have a good one, he's been struggling, no debate about that, but with the media constantly saying are you on life support, doesn't that -- >> the media already wrote the obituary. and we didn't see that with governor walker, though his numbers were low, we were caught a bit off-guard when he decided to drop out. so clearly there's been a stings in the way they've been covering jeb. >> on "meet the press" he said one of the challenges was breaking through the punditry class, but "new york times" editorial demanding that chris christie drop out and go back to being just governor of new jersey. who exactly -- should get off
the nat stage? >> it's crazy, so far this year, anytime the media has ganged up and said something was going to happen, take the other side of the bet. if everyone is saying bush is dead, i'm going the other way. i don't think he's dead at all. >> as a former campaign manager, you know it's not helpful. >> no, it's not, but it's not reality. there are plenty of episodes in the past and even this cycle that have proven that it's not reality. everything from hillary clinton was finished and collapsing, but it was way overdone. so the media gets on these bandwagons and just overdoes it. it does hurt a campaign, but it's also, does he come back from that? does he fight back? >> right. >> that's 134g he can do, and in that sense media may actually help him come back into this. >> he's even been couraging people to write his comeback
narrative. >> how many times has the media says donald trump is done. >> or that he's not a real candidate. i want to ask andrea about marco rubio. rubio and his campaign pointed out that the sunset, while urge -- by the voice, that was the basis for the jeb bush attack. didn't do that when florida senator bob graham ran for president in 2003, the paper did not, or when endorsed obama in '08, 25% missed votes. does rubio have a point? >> i think he has a valid point, and i think he deflected that question very very well, but that also -- that whole idea gave the media haters a whole lot of ammunition, because it did come across as clearly biased. let's talk about trump,
since you mentioned him. he is still making plenty of news. we have some video clips to show you. the first begins with journalists are now rated lower than, say, congress. take a look. >> they are horrible people. will you get your numbers up, please? what the hell are you people doing to me? i'm presbyterian. that's down the middle of the road, folks. seventh day adventist, i just don't know about. >> i don't consider you a horrible person or anybody at this table. >> we don't either, howard. >> thank you very much. >> was it odd that he brought up ben carson's religion? >> he did put it out there, which was a little strange, but again it's a donald trump
tactic, to say, look i'm kind of middle of the road, but you look at what ben carson's religion is. whether it was fair game or not is a different story. >> but i would say it worked. >> that's exactly it. >> i've seen several torrie of, what is seventh day adventist? >> there is so many stories about romney be a mormon. >> a proud mormon. >> so it was like, let's look into this. >> i didn't feel like it was his place to discuss ben carson's religious preference, though? >> what about saying he's -- >> this is what he's going to do it and it works. he 's much smart -- he knows what he's doing. >> he knows exactly what he's doing. >> when some of the pollsters don't like me or unscientific, because suddenly the numbers are -- they're very good, but not as good as they were. >> he definitely knows what he's doing, and, you know, it's that
strength of the challenge that makes it come through. people like that. >> andrea, trump said to me in an interview, certainly outlets, politico, they're scum, but now we're all scum. does that help him in a year when the presses not too popular? >> absolutely. we may be scum, howie, but we should be grateful we have a free press. >> that's a great note to end on. >> the fact that it's the us versus the media, because so for long we've been demonized by the mainstream media. >> thank you very much for joining us for these segments. this sunday ahead on "mediabuzz," how the press made chris christie sound like an out-of-control loud mouth. but first bob worldwood tracks down the man who blew the whistle on nixon's secret taping system and found even more dece
it was a grin moment when a senate committee questioned an obscure presidential aide named alexander butterfield. >> are you aware of the installation of any listening devices in the oval office of the president. >> i was aware of listening
devices, yes, sir. >> butterfield is the central player in bob woodward's new books "the last of the president's men." here is more of our interview. >> in your book on alex butterfield and the secret tapes, it reminded me of a time when the country was absolutely consumed by the scandal, and president nixon went before the cabinet and said let other wallow in watergate, we're going to do the work of the country. over 40 years later, did you feel like you were is wallows in watergate? >> no, the opposite. in butterfield's files, 40 boxes, lots of original documents, some of it quite frankly shocked me, because the management of the vietnam war was done in a way to win reelection, not win the war. >> you were shocked by the memo in which -- this was at the time that president nixon said the bombing of vitt snap was highly
effective. in the memo you uncovered, it said it had done zilch. if it came out at the time, would it have been a bombshell? >> it certainly would have caused us to examine what's going on in the vietnam war. we now know from all of the bombing studies done and so forth that nixon had it right. it accomplished zilch. it was a failure in so many ways, but again, it's -- he said this on a top secret memo to henry kissinger. publicly and always he was saying for years, oh, the bombing is militarily necessary. >> when the staff of the watergate committee found out that alex butterfield knew of a secret taping system, which ultimately would bring nixon down. i think later your co-author scott armstrong, you told the late ben bradley about the
story. hi reaction was? >> i called him on a saturday night, because i was -- you know, everything was taped, this was all done secretly, it might resolve the conflict with nixon's denials and the assertions of others, tickly counsel john dean, so i broke bradley up at 9:00 and said -- he taped everything, nixon taped secretly. what do you think? and ben said, well, i wouldn't bust one on it to get a story in the paper. what do you think? how would you evaluate it? i asked him. he said, b-plus. i took sunday off the next day feeling i had broken the chain of command again and got right to brandly, because it was so, you know, tapes? is this is it possible? when butterfield testified on the monday, you know, it shook the world. it was one of these things.
to bradley's credit, he came by, knocked on my desk and said, okay, it's better than a b-plus. >> okay. what jumped out at me in this book, was the portrayal of nixon the person, as told through the eyes of alex butterfield who sat outside his office for nearly four years, even how awkward their first meeting was, because butterfield was brought in by halderman, the chief of staff. this was a politician who rose to the top of his profession, but seemed uncomfortable around people? >> a lonely man. he preferred to be alone. butter feel tells how nixon would work in the oval office, instead of goods to the residence, would go back to his office in the executive office building, put his feet up on -- and keep his jacket on and have a drink and have thinks man servant ma nola make dinner for him alone and sit there with his
legal tablet, but the story that butterfield has provided in this book is one about nixon's obsessions and his deceptions, and there are more and more of them, particularly on vietnam. i served in the navy. >> i know you did. >> and for people who serve, for people who care about the military, which i think are most people in this country, i think particularly a lot of conservatives who really believe what the military stands for and does, is a pillar of strength in this country, this is a level of deception and lying and mismanagement of that war. >> you are finally on twitter in 2015, but you don't tweet that much. are you a reluctant convert? >> no, i'm trying to get my feet into it.
i want to be careful. so, you know, at age 72 i'm trying to learn. >> many books, but 144-character thing is a totally different world. thanks for joining us. >> thanks. one journalist trying to pin down donald trump, and another says hillary clinton is making a trumped up charge of sexism. our video verdict is straight ahead. ooñóokñ.??????ó
time for our "video verdict." when donald trump called into morning joe, he tried to pin him down on the billionaire's favorite subject, the all-important question of polls. >> when you're ahead in the polls, you act like they're
scientific gospel. when you're behind, you'll oftentimes challenge the pollster, the legitimacy of the polls. >> i generally believe in polls. the problem with these polls is they're different, coming from all over the lot, because somebody else is up here, or you see swings of 10 and 12 points. immediately the same day. so right now it's not very scientific. >> it's not scientific when donald trump is not winning. i think he has this incredible fascination with the polls not seen with any of these other candidates. so when he's made this decision that, look, i'm losing right now, so these can't be working for me, but even just today, he tweeted out, he basically said, well, i agree with these polls, i'm up top again. we'll see what happens. >> it's a challenge, i can tell you from having interviewed him several times. he got a pretty revealing
answer. after bernie sanders said in the democratic debate that shouting wouldn't solve the problem of gun violence, hillary clinton responded with this jab. and msnbc was rather appalled. >> now, i've been told to stop shouting about ending gun violence. well, i haven't been shouting, but sometimes when a woman speaks out, some people think it's shouting. >> it's sexist. what bernie sanders said? >> no. that was -- don't make me say it, joe. >> say it. >> please don't make me say it. >> let me say, that's pathetic. >> that was pathetic. >> that's pathetic. >> say it, it is pathetic. i think about my family, whenever matt tells me, we were talking to your mother, and we're cuban, and i'm talking to my mom and he'll be like, are you shouting at your mother? i said, no, we're just cuban, we
just speak loud, that's the way we talk. for hillary clinton to basically be saying, well, i'm shouting, so i'm a woman, i mean, come on. it's such a weak play for her. >> it is an attempt to try to cast bernie sanders as sexist. her campaign has done this on a several occasions. mika is a liberal and would like to support hillary clinton, but she could not hide her disdain, even though joe had to pull it out of her. >> it's great to see women journalists come out and say it like it is. in this case it was absolutely pathetic. this is a narrative that hillary clinton wants to push. i'm a woman and i'm running and the media's buying into it. still to come, joe biden made his big decision. and have you heard about chris christie and the quiet car? it's a bogus story.
it was a spectacle. the pundits declaring that joe biden was going to run for president. turns out the one who was annoyed was biden. >> how often did the two of you talk about this decision? every night? >> what's driving me crazy, you guys, we love you. but, you know, serious press people would say, well, we have on good authority from a very close friend of joe biden's that he's going to announce tomorrow. or we have on good authority that he's not going to run. that used to drive me crazy. >> even the vice president was fed up. by the way, he challenged the reporting that his late son beau was on his deathbed urging the vice president to run. that's not how maureen reported it, she just said they had a conversation. bau follow-up news story left that impression and the paper has belatedly run a correction.
gary, the dems aren't allowing fox for the debates. fox has asked for a democratic debate. robert k. feldman, the left-wing loons, they should be fired for that crap they threw out there the other night, and mainstream media is no better. ouch. it's better off holding its own debate. i wouldn't think so, rnc a bunch of cry babies. it's actually okay to respond to questions. what a delicious story about chris christie. the gossip site reporting an amtrak conductor kicked the loud-mouthed governor out of the car for yakking loudly on his phone. >> not known for his inside voice, chris christie was kicked out of the quiet car for talking loudly on his phone.
>> he was ejected from the quiet car and had to go to the cafe car to finish his strawberry smoothie. >> he was sipping a smoothie, talking on his cell phone when somebody complained. that is a no-no on the quiet car. >> chris christie got on the quiet car and started talking. >> but hold on, a journalist was right there, and she said christie was running late, he was super courteous, was told he was on the quiet car and left. didn't cause a scene. a non-story, which is why it's written on twitter, this stuff is why people don't believe anything they hear or read. that's it for this edition of "mediabuzz." we hope you'll check out our facebook page. give us a like. we post a lot of original contents and videos responding to your questions. you can also hear my media minutes on the new sirius xm fox
radio station. and don't forget to dvr us. or better yet, watch us live. we begin with breaking news. fred thompson has died of lymphoma. the former u.s. senator and one-time republican presidential candidate is probably known most for his role in american politics, but also by millions of tv and movie fans for his role as an actor in film and television including his long-running part in "law and order." thompson was a watergate attorney who moved between politics and acting for most of his adult life. early in his time on capitol hill he was a rising star in the u.s. senate, but he retired from the seat in january 2003 saying he just didn't have the heart for another term. he later ran for president in 2007.

PACT Summer Production: 'Urning It'
PITTSVILLE - Pittsville Area Community Theater will share its summer offering "Urning It" with theater-goers in central Wisconsin.
The show is scheduled Thursday to Saturday, July 21 to 23 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, July 24 at 2 p.m. in the Pittsville School District Auditorium. The play is directed by Sarah Freedlund.

February 23, 2017 Holidays / Las Fallas / Valencia
Finding Ninot: Museo Fallero, Valencia
The museum starts with the pardoned ninots from the 1930s.
Last month, Doer and I previewed Valencia's upcoming, most famous cultural event with a visit to the Fallas Museum. Located in an old convent near the City of Arts and Sciences, the Museo Fallero hosts each year's pardoned ninots. The museum also has a great brochure on the tradition if you want to read more about it here.
Fireworks are a big deal in the Valencian Community – especially around the Fallas.
The festival dates originated in the mid-18th century, when people gathered on the eve of Saint Joseph's Day to erect and burn satirical monuments made of wood, cloth, and cardboard. The festival became more complex and artistic around the beginning of the 20th century, becoming a tourist attraction as it was cemented as an important part of the Valencian identity.
The first ninot (pronounced, "NEE-no") exhibition was organized in 1934, and from then on one of the creations has been pardoned each year. Satiricism and current events remain central themes of all the entries. The remaining papier-mâché figures made for the Fallas are still sacrificed to giant bonfires at the end of the festival, which we are looking forward to seeing here in mid-March.
The ninots from the 1930s and 40s typically depicted Valencian folklore, or portraits of popular characters and well-known artisans.
Dancers with castanets.
Traditional Valencian dolçaina, featured in folk songs here.
In the beginning, ordinary people constructed the ninots with their neighbors. However, as the festival evolved, fallas artists began to specialize in designing and making the monuments. Sometimes, the artists get cheeky and the monuments push boundaries.
Starting in the 1950s, humor and caricature was promoted, and the ninots saw more references to social subjects and modern imagery.
Doer's favorite: Matrimoni Prehistoric, 1957.
Pop culture seemed to play a bigger role after the 1960s.
What is going on here?
Let's take a closer look.
Oh, the humanity.
Things did not die down in the 1970s.
This one is titled, "Awakening of Eroticism."
Depictions of Fallas art and traditions seem to be popular . . .
. . . As are depictions of artistic pursuits in general.
In addition to the ninots, the museum also collects posters from each Fallas, paintings of the Falleres Majors, and badges from the falles commission.
Sometimes, a fair amount of artistic interpretation goes into these paintings…
Medals belonging to individual falla associations around the community. Over 300 in all!
Stay tuned for our visit to the exhibition of the ninots that will be in this year's festival.

Vaccination against covid-19 is not an option, but a citizen duty
The minister in charge of Strategic Projects and Special Programs of the Presidency (Propeep), Neney Cabrera, affirmed this Saturday that vaccination against the SARS-COV-2 virus "is not an option, but a citizen duty," for which he urged citizens to go to the centers that operate throughout the country to prevent covid-19 disease.
At the head of the day, "The Vaccination Route" during an act at the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center, Cabrera said that this Saturday, June 19, and tomorrow, Sunday, June 20, some 10,000 people would be vaccinated in 10 neighborhoods of the National District and the Greater Santo Domingo.
The official highlighted the efforts of President Luis Abinader and the Vice President of the Republic, Raquel Peña, national coordinator of the Health Cabinet, who would be at the opening of the day, but excused himself because she was with the president in the South region, so that the entire population is vaccinated and herd immunization is achieved, which prevents new infections and more deaths from viruses and covid-19.
He expressed that to combat this pandemic, the world has no other means available other than the vaccine, and the Dominican Republic is not exempt from its attacks, and because of it, more than 3,500 Dominicans have already died in the country.
He stressed that, for this reason, in the body under his charge, Propeep, one hundred percent of its staff are already vaccinated.
He reported that on the day "The Vaccination Route," 20 vaccination centers will be open in 10 neighborhoods of the capital and several municipalities of the Santo Domingo province.
This Saturday, the conference will occur in the Cristo Rey, Villa Consuelo, La Puya, and Capotillo neighborhoods, in the capital, and various sectors of Sabana, in the Santo Domingo Norte municipality of Santo Domingo, where two vaccination sites will operate in each one.
For tomorrow Sunday, the centers will be open in the Villa Francisca and María Auxiliadora neighborhoods of the National District; in the Boca Chica municipality; and in the sectors Los Guarícanos, in Santo Domingo Norte, and Café de Herrera, in Santo Domingo Oeste. In these, another ten vaccination sites will also operate, two in each locality.
He recalled that in addition to the "Vaccination Route" conference, three weeks ago, Propeep developed the "Vaccination Teteo" conference, which covered ten other neighborhoods in the National District and the Santo Domingo province, during which kits were delivered with soap and gel for hand washing and masks, just like this Saturday and will be done tomorrow Sunday.
On this occasion, the Propeep collaborated with several influencers who toured the different inoculation centers.
"As good Dominicans, we cannot settle for this, since we have a great responsibility to the country, that all Dominicans are one hundred percent vaccinated and vaccinated, as stated by President Luis Abinader and our vice president in charge of the Health Cabinet, Raquel Peña," proclaimed the official.
He specified that according to this mandate of the president and the vice president, Propeep develops the day with all its integrated personnel, together with doctors, nurses, and assistants from the Ministry of Public Health, as well as with the cooperation of the Armed Forces, the National Police and others State entities.
"We are going to meet this goal, to be able to overcome and come out of this health crisis, which has generated a great national and global economic crisis," he said.
"The only tool is to get vaccinated. All the Dominican people have to understand that it is a duty, a civic responsibility, towards him, with his family and with the country, that it is not an option, but a civic duty," Minister Neney Cabrera insisted.
During the ceremony, Minister Cabrera was accompanied by his wife Gina Haché de Cabrera, his son Pedro Cabrera Haché, and other family members.

How Morgan Ends Up in Fear The Walking Dead
by Carolyn Burke
How does Morgan Jones make it all the way from The Walking Dead to Fear the Walking Dead? The Zen Master certainly found himself on a massive journey, both physically and mentally. Ever since we learned about it, fans have been waiting for the day that would see AMC's zombie spinoff finally crossover with its flagship series. That day has finally come.
Fans have long theorized about how such an event could take place. One of the most popular theories suggested that Madison Clark, Fear The Walking Dead's protagonist, would become the Whisperer leader Alpha. The theory presumed that Madison and her children would travel to Virginia, finding themselves on The Walking Dead as the catalyst for the Whisperer War. Another theory assumed that Abraham Ford would be the likely link between the two shows. But ultimately, it's Morgan who has created a bridge between the two shows.
Related: Fear the Walking Dead Season 4 Premiere Review
Morgan's struggle with mental illness has been a focus of several episodes throughout the series. Much like Carol when she fled Alexandria in Season 6, Morgan left the group to come to grips with his trauma. He spent some time living in Jadis' vacated garbage dump, but after constant visits from his friends entreating him to come back home, he was driven to put more distance between himself and the others. Morgan set out walking (and then running), and didn't stop until he came across a lonely man (John Dorie) and a pushy journalist (Althea) in the middle of nowhere on Fear The Walking Dead.
This ragtag group then comes across a woman who has fallen to the ground, apparently injured, but when they stop to help her it turns out that this woman is actually Alicia Clark - and she's tricked them into walking right into an ambush! Luciana, Nick and Strand are also present, and the episode ends with Alicia holding a knife to Althea's throat. It looks like Fear the Walking Dead has made a big time skip to catch up with The Walking Dead, and a lot has happened during that time. Expect plenty of flashbacks this season to explain exactly what Alicia the others' "story" is.
In the comic books, Morgan is long dead, having fallen victim to a walker bite when the herd breached the gates of Alexandria. In the context of the show, this would have taken place back in season 6, so Morgan's survival made him a bit of wild card. One of Rick's group members did in fact disappear after the brutality of All Out War. After dating and losing both Morgan and King Ezekiel, Michonne took off and found herself leading the life of a pirate with the members of Oceanside, but eventually returned to Alexandria to aid in the fight against the Whisperers. Morgan has seemingly stepped up to fill in for Michonne's comic book role, which could put a twist on the Whisperer theory, as Madison's group could show up just in time to save the day - rather than being the villains themselves.
For years, fans suspected a crossover between The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead was basically inevitable. And for years, those directly involved with the two series constantly shut down any hopes viewers had about the two worlds potentially colliding. In 2015, Robert Kirkman proclaimed the idea of a crossover illogical. Just last year, Fear The Walking Dead star Daniel Sharman (Troy Otto) called a crossover a "bad idea." Let's hope that he was wrong, and Morgan's journey from the original show to its spinoff serves to make both shows more interesting.

Q: Best practice when using multiple libraries with overlapping classes Consider the task:

*

*Read a polygon from a KML file using library A

*Intersect it with another polygon using library B

*Calculate its area using library C

Each library has it's own Polygon class, and they are all equivalent. Which is the best practice when using all these classes? At the moment I first wrote this question I had implemented a method that converts a PolygonA instance into a PolygonB instance and vice-versa. But I wonder if it is the only way.
Clarification All libraries are third-parties'

A: I would either choose one polygon class and only use that class or build my own Polygon class to store all of them in.
At any rate, make sure your namespaces are aptly named so that you can differentiate between the two.
Why not merge the duplicated functionality?

A: One option that comes to mind is defining your own polygon class with copy constructors that accept the other types and methods on it to create instances of the other types from its data.
public class MyPolygon
{
    public MyPolygon(LibAPolygon polygon) { /* copy data */ }
    public LibAPolygon CopyToLibAPolygon() { ... }
    // repeat for each library
}

Doesn't really offer much advantage over the methods you have. However, I prefer it since it standardizes on one definition of polygon and then convert to the others as needed. Alternatively just pick one of the existing implementations as your base and just write methods to go between it and the other two.

A: The ideal solution depends a lot on your needs, but here's a suggestion.
Write your own Polygon class that internally stores the polygon as one of PolygonA/PolygonB/PolygonC.  Your Polygon class will implement getArea() and getIntersection(polygon2) methods, which will translate the internal polygon into the appropriate type and call out to the right library.
This abstracts the libraries and polygon representations behind your own Polygon interface, which only needs to implement the portions of the APIs that you actually need.  This will allow you to hide implementation details such as how many translations you implement (only 4 -- PolygonA->PolygonB->PolygonC->PolygonA? or all 6?) and how you store the polygon (pick one of the library types? use your own representation? store it in more than one representation to avoid translation overhead?)

A: Writing conversions is usually the only way if the libraries in question do not provide any adaptor interfaces. Any adaptors you make yourself will eventually have to be converted into the library's native representation to perform any algorithms on the geometry.
Another option is to make a wrapper class that caches each different A/B/C representation so that you only have to do the conversion to any given library once for each piece of geometry. And then all your code only deals with the wrapper class and just passes the appropriate representation to any relevant algorithms. The translation can be performed just-in-time before it is actually needed.
If you're working in a language with typedefs and/or nampespaces creating your own typedefs for each library's polygon type can make your life easier. For instance if each library just has its polygon type called 'Polygon' but it is placed into a specific namespace then:
typedef A::Polygon APolygon;
typedef B::Polygon BPolygon;
typedef C::Polygon CPolygon;

If the libraries actually have naming conflicts then that's a real problem.

A Rodosz-Diagórasz nemzetközi repülőtér (görögül: Κρατικός Αερολιμένας Ρόδου, "Διαγόρας")  a görögországi Rodosz szigetének nemzetközi repülőtere. A repülőtér 14 km-re délnyugatra van Rodosz városától, Paradisszi település közelében.

Ez a negyedik legforgalmasabb repülőtér Görögországban az utasforgalmat tekintve. 2003-ban 1,2 millió nemzetközi utas fordult meg itt. Működése 1977. június 28-án kezdődött, amikor megépült és kiváltotta a Rodosz szigetén korábban létesült Maritsa repülőteret, ami ekkor már nem volt megfelelő (a Maritsa repülőtér az új repülőtértől délre 2,5 km-re fekszik; a Diagórasz megépülte óta nem használják). A repülőtér létesítményei körülbelül  m²-t foglalnak el. Egy új terminál 2005-ben nyílt meg.

History: Launching artists'
careers since 1961
TOAF began in the parking lot of the Four Seasons Motor Hotel in 1961 when founders and philanthropists Murray and Marvelle Koffler joined forces with former Director of the National Gallery of Canada Alan Jarvis, and artist Jack Pollock. Four years later, the Fair moved to the newly built Nathan Phillips Square.
TOAF was founded on the premise that artists have the right to show and sell their work directly on city property. Sixty years later, TOAF not only prevails but continues to innovate and reinvent the way we access art.
"In 1960, my wife Marvelle and I had spent a weekend in New York where we were delighted in attending the famed Washington Square outdoor art show. On the plane home, we read in a Toronto newspaper that a group of artists had been ousted from the front of City Hall for trying to display and sell their artworks. Immediately, a great idea struck me! Why not invite these and other budding artists to show at a non-city-owned location.
The timing could not have been more appropriate. My partners and I were preparing to open the Four Seasons Motor Hotel on Jarvis Street in Toronto, and the parking lot and courtyard were ideally suited for this purpose. We chose the weekend of August 5 & 6, 1961. My friend, Alan Jarvis, former head of the National Gallery of Canada, chaired a committee of interested volunteers to mount the very first Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition. And, as they say, the rest is history."

"I did the TOAF directly upon graduating from OCA (now called OCAD University). There was a small group of us from the art college that all decided to do this together for moral support... I did sell a few pieces at the show and occasionally have run into people all these years later who remind me that they bought a piece there for a very reasonable price and how happy the work has made them over the years. I was happy that they took a chance on me, a young unknown artist... I think all young artists should do this show and learn what there is to be learned from the whole experience!"
- Barbara Astman, Photographer
"I spent a few summers in the early 80's at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair with my work. It was a great experience meeting fellow Torontonians and tourists and having a chance to tell my story. I even sold a few prints which made the experience that much better!"

How do we want to die? Few conversations we have throughout our lifetime are as critical as those about death. But according to Michael Hebb, co-founder of the end-of-life awareness campaign Death Over Dinner, it's a conversation we're not having often enough. Hebb pulled up a chair at Town Hall to share advice from his book Let's Talk About Death (Over Dinner), offering keen advice about these conversations that ranges from spiritual to practical to downright funny and surprising. Hebb met with award-winning photographer Chase Jarvis, and together they offered us a chance to cast an unflinching eye at the end of life.
Hebb and Jarvis encouraged us to transform the seemingly difficult conversation about death into one of deep engagement, insight, and empowerment. Join Hebb and Jarvis for an evening that transforms one of the most universally difficult conversations into a celebratory and meaningful opportunity—and explore ways to change not just the way we die, but the way we live.
A few renowned NW musicians will be joining these speakers and singing their favorite death-themed songs. Expect to hear from singer songwriter Kaylee Cole, Luz Elena (Y La Bamba) and friends.

Raleigh police are searching for the driver who collided with a police officer's patrol cruiser and another car early Friday morning.
RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Raleigh police have arrested the driver who collided with a police officer's patrol cruiser and another car early Friday morning.
The accident happened just before 5:30 a.m. on St. Albans Drive at Wake Forest Road, near Interstate 440.
The third vehicle involved in the accident was last seen fleeing the scene in the southbound lanes of Wake Forest Road.
That vehicle was later found abandoned on a ramp at the interchange connecting I-440 and New Bern Avenue.
The driver, 51-year-old Atlas Antonio Kelly, was taken into custody at his house later Friday morning.
Kelly was charged with multiple offenses, including felony hit and run. He was taken to the Wake County Detention Center.

Q: c++ : class type reference operator= usage this is my very first post and please understand if formatting is bad X)
So, in my class, I was required to use operator= function to make a class object equal to the second object of the same class.
class Car
{
private :
    int a;
    int b;
public :
    void set(int x, int y)
    {a = x;
     b = y;
    }

    void output()
    {cout << a << " " << b << endl;
    }

    Car & operator=(const Car & carB)
    {set(int c, int d);
    }
};

using namespace std;
int main()
{
 Car car1(1, 2);
 Car car2;

 car2=car1;
 car2.output();

 return 0;
}

I understand that Car & operator=(const Car & carb) function allows me to make the car2 equal to car 1. However, I'm not quite understanding the type of the function here.
Why is the function not void? And what does the reference signs(both) do in this code?
I am on my 2nd quarter of very first computer language. Please help!
Thanks! :]

A: This is called assignment operator, and you don't need to implement it as it is by default exists. If you have pointers in the class you can implement your own assignment operator and copy constructor to do deep copy instead of shallow copy.
The reference sign mean return by reference which allows function calls to be on the left hand side of the call, and allows cascading assignment like A = B = C.
last thing...your code in the assignment operator is wrong. It should be like this:
set(carB.a, carB.b);

A: The type of the function is not void because C++ allows statements like this:
A = B = C;

After the execution of this statement, all three variables will have the same value. In other words,
A = (B = C);

which demands that B=C return a thing of the same type as A.
As for what the reference symbol ('%') does, look it up in your textbook.

I was pregnant with Rebecca when the doctors were trying to count her fingers and thought maybe she didn't have them all because she held them so tight and they overlapped. Rebecca was my first girl and I was looking forward to the day I would hold those hands in mine and give her her first manicure. But they were telling me that the number of digits she had was the least of my worries.
You don't hear of Trisomy 18 too often because most babies with this condition are aborted or stillborn; and those that do survive birth do not usually live longer than five days.
Rebecca lived three weeks before she passed away. During those three weeks, and the many, many long ones to follow, we had to wrestle out this stuff with God: Why is life unfair, and what do we do with all the people staring at us?
It wasn't just our daughter's uncommon beauty that people stared at.
Losing a child is out of the norm, and it makes people uncomfortable. Many times I've had conversations suddenly become awkward after I spoke of my loss; suddenly I became "different" to the one I was conversing with, and unless they had dealt with grief themselves, they no longer knew what to do or say around me; they stepped back and just stared.
Some things just don't make sense in life, and we just have to choose to trust God or not. It's not an easy decision, but I can tell you from experience that it is easier to give it all to Him than to become bitter toward Him. My husband and I figured out that if we could not trust God, there was no one we could trust, and we would be completely alone in our battle.
We chose to cast all our cares on Him, and He carried us through … not that the battle is over, but He promises to give us strength to handle whatever comes our way. We look at it like this: If there were nothing "unfair" and we had no weaknesses or challenges, then our lives might be easier, but they would be empty and meaningless.
As they say, "nothing good in life comes easy." Having confidence in who you are and what your purpose is may not be easy, but it is good!
If you struggle with life being unfair to you, or you are tortured with thoughts about who you are–or who you are not–wrestle it out with God. Tell Him how you feel about it. Ask Him to help you deal with it. Perhaps that is the very purpose for Him allowing it: to draw you closer to Him.
He knows you better than you know yourself. Maybe He wants to use you the way He is using my husband and me. We have come to believe it is an honor and a privilege that others stare at us because of our loss. You see, if we were just like everyone else, no one would really get drawn to God by us.
Is there something about you that makes others stare at you? Let them look! And let God use you! I believe that is why He put your imperfection there; it captures others. Think about it: He trusts you to show His glory far more than the average girl who blends into the crowd.

Your recipe for masturbation is pretty simple: A bottle of lube, a browser tab open to Xtube, and a five-finger grip deliver results in no time flat. But female masturbation is a bit more complicated.
They can't do it wherever they want, they don't always care about reaching orgasm, and they definitely aren't flipping through Fifty Shades as much as you'd imagine. So what happens behind closed doors? Read on to discover the secrets of female masturbation.
She's quicker without you.
On average, women take longer to orgasm than men do. "For a woman's nerve endings to be stimulated and for the blood flow to get down into her genitals, it can take up to 15 or 20 minutes of foreplay," explains Sadie Allison, Ph.D., author of The Mystery of the Undercover Clitoris: Orgasmic Fingertip Touching Every Woman Craves.
But she might be a lot faster going solo than she is with you in the sack. That could be because she's more focused on her own pleasure (instead of yours) or because she knows exactly what she wants. "Many women can be there in 2 to 3 minutes on their own, but will take 10 or more—or can't get there at all—with a partner," says sex expert Carlyle Jansen, author of Sex Yourself, a book about women's masturbation.
She doesn't do it quite as often.
When you wake up with morning wood, there's a decent chance you'll give yourself a tug before the day is over. According to research, 25 percent of men masturbate at least 3 times per week, and 55 do it at least once a month. But for women, those stats are considerably lower: Only 10 percent of ladies report pleasuring themselves three times per week, and 38 percent go down below once a month.
How come? She might see self-pleasure as more of a production, not just a quick rub-and-go activity. It could also be because of the stigma associated with female masturbation, which can follow many women into adulthood. "Most boys begin before they're 10," says Jansen, while "women start later, often in their 20s."
She preps differently.
"Men can be in a dirty gas station bathroom and rub one out," says Allison, but for the fairer sex, environment is everything. Maybe she pulls out a special lubricant, lights a few candles, or draws a bath before starting self-pleasure. "A lot of women need their heads to be there, and if there are any distractions whatsoever, that can throw them off," she says.
Her touch is softer.
When you masturbate, you've got a firm grip, your fingers are clenched, and you stick to a rough, up-and-down motion. Women, on the other hand, tend to be slower, gentler, and more subtle.
"Think about if you had an eyelash in your eye and you were trying to rub it out," says Allison. "You'd pull your eyelid back and gently use your fingertip to rub around. That's how soft you should touch a woman's clitoris. Yes, that soft."
The clitoris has twice as many nerve endings as the head of the penis, so it's super-sensitive to even the softest touch. Some women like it rougher—and they'll tell you if they do—but most need to be eased in gently before they can stand too much contact with their clitoris.
She explores her whole body.
While you pretty much have just one tool at your disposal, she likes to make masturbation a full-body activity. "Women tend to stimulate the whole body more—the neck, breasts, arms, and labia," explains Jansen. She might massage her nipples or inner thighs first before settling on her genitals. Comparatively, "men are generally okay with the beginning, middle, and end focus on the penis," Jansen says.
She doesn't always care about orgasm…
This might be the biggest difference of them all. When you masturbate, you probably have a clear goal in mind: bust a nut or bust. "But for a lot of women, whether you get there or not isn't the key," says Allison. Some women are satisfied with their self-pleasure well before orgasm occurs, or regardless of whether there's a climax. "It's more about taking time for yourself and giving to yourself in a pleasurable way," she says.
…But when she does, she's going for seconds
When you ejaculate, it creates a huge physical release.
"It takes a lot of energy for the body to actually push all of that fluid from the prostate, through the spiral tubing, then through the testicles, up and out of the penis," explains Allison. "That's why when [men] are finally done, it's over. They're like, 'Whew, I need a nap.'"
Women's orgasms are physical, too, but they don't have the same "refractory period" after climaxing, which makes it more likely for them to go for multiple rounds. So while some women aren't necessarily vying for orgasm at all, others don't stop at just one. Lucky ladies.

Q: ¿Es posible hacer que una foreign key referencie a 2 primary key? miren tengo 3 tablas
Boleta (
codBoleta -- PK
)
Factura (
codFactura -- pk
)
Venta (
codVenta -- pk
codComprobante --fk  Quiero que el codComprobante pueda referenciar o bien un código de factura o de boleta
)

A: Se puede referenciar a dos tablas con la misma columna. Vamos a verlo.
Create table Boleta
 (
  codBoleta      int primary key
, codComprobante int unique
 );

create table Factura
(
  codFactura     int primary key
, codComprobante int unique
);

Create table Venta
(
  codVenta       int primary key
, codComprobante int
, constraint fk_Venta_Boleta foreign key(codComprobante) references Boleta(codComprobante)
, constraint fk_Venta_Factura foreign key(codComprobante) references Factura(codComprobante)
);
go

Insert into Boleta(codBoleta
                 , codComprobante)
values
       ( 1, 1 );

Insert into Factura(codFactura
                  , codComprobante)
values
       ( 1, 1 );

Insert into Venta(codVenta
                , codComprobante)
values
       ( 1, 1 );
go

Ahora bien, para la pregunta que planteas, solo tienes que tener en cuenta las limitaciones que plantean las fk.

*

*No es necesario que una restricción de clave externa esté vinculada
únicamente a una restricción de clave principal de otra tabla;
también puede definirse para que haga referencia a las columnas de
una restricción UNIQUE de otra tabla.

Pero si insertas en:
Insert into Boleta(codBoleta
                 , codComprobante)
values
       ( 2, 2 );
Insert into Venta(codVenta
                , codComprobante)
values
       ( 2, 2 );

Mens. 547, Nivel 16, Estado 0, Línea 46
Instrucción INSERT en conflicto con la restricción FOREIGN KEY 'fk_Venta_Factura'. El conflicto ha aparecido en la base de datos 'T', tabla 'dbo.Factura', column 'codComprobante'.
Se terminó la instrucción.

Incumples la restricción.
Lo mismo ocurre si haces el caso contrario.
Insert into Factura(codFactura
                  , codComprobante)
values
       ( 3, 3 );
go
Insert into Venta(codVenta
                , codComprobante)
values
       ( 3, 3 );

Mens. 547, Nivel 16, Estado 0, Línea 56
Instrucción INSERT en conflicto con la restricción FOREIGN KEY 'fk_Venta_Boleta'. El conflicto ha aparecido en la base de datos 'T', tabla 'dbo.Boleta', column 'codComprobante'.
Se terminó la instrucción.

Y tiene todo el sentido porque cada restricción es única y se comprueba por si misma.
Dentro de las posibilidades que nos brinda el motor, está la de deshabilitar las restricciones en inserciones o updates.
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Venta] NOCHECK CONSTRAINT [fk_Venta_Boleta]
GO
ALTER TABLE dbo.Venta NOCHECK CONSTRAINT [fk_Venta_Factura]
GO

Y a partir de ese momento se puede insertar.
Insert into Venta(codVenta
                , codComprobante)
values
       ( 2, 2 ), (3,3);

Aunque yo me pensaría si mi modelo de tablas es el correcto.
No check constraints

The Medical Technologies That Are Changing Health Care
New, eye-popping medical technology provides earlier diagnoses, personalized treatments and a breathtaking range of other benefits for both patients and health care professionals.
John Morrissey
Not long ago, people started wearing wristbands that recorded the number of steps they took, their heart rates and sleep cycles. But if the now-ubiquitous bands and accompanying apps that stored biorhythms started out as novelties, they paved the way for a new generation of gadgets that have become serious tools to improve health care delivery and outcomes. These newfangled contraptions will change how and where care is delivered and will enable providers to stay continuously connected with patients wherever they may be — or at least connected to the devices that indicate whether a patient is abiding by prescription protocols, getting up and about safely, and eating regularly. In some cases, they may even provide an early-warning system for serious degenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
The scope of these emerging technologies is breathtaking. High-tech sensors soon will monitor the at-home cardiac patient's heart every minute of every day. A new type of chip, embedded in a pill will be activated at the precise moment it reaches a patient's stomach, and will confirm for the medical record that he's taking his medications. Straight out of science fiction, new gizmos will emerge that can scan a body for a host of symptoms without poking or prodding and, in seconds, they'll make a diagnosis.
They may sound futuristic, but many of these devices already exist and, in fact, are being supplanted by a new generation of products that do it all faster and better.
For instance, wearable techno patches now can monitor a person's heart rate, body temperature and other vital signs — a big leap over monitors that have to be hooked up — and their results read by the patient. The data are more robust and valuable because the patches provide "continuous monitoring instead of taking a periodic snapshot," says Sean Chai, director of innovation and advanced technology services at Kaiser Permanente.
Another sensor under development will be capable of reading biomarkers, blood-borne chemical clues that signal the levels of stress and anxiety, which can affect health as much as disease, diet and daily activity do. If the stress-level data can be synchronized with vitals such as pulse and blood pressure, a patient will receive personalized feedback on what makes her tense and which relaxation techniques work for her. Steven Steinhubl, M.D., who directs the digital medicine program at Scripps Translational Science Institute, San Diego, calls this aid to stress control "the most exciting aspect of wearables, and I'm convinced it will happen. There are a lot of hurdles to overcome before it becomes extremely functional, but the capability is remarkable."
Menu of innovation
Pick a medical issue — congestive heart failure, diabetes, medication noncompliance, even stressful isolation — and you'll find researchers working to solve it with remarkable new technologies. Here are some areas they're targeting:
This is Medicare's most costly diagnosis, and the mortality rate is comparable to a new cancer diagnosis. The Scripps institute is testing three types of sensors — necklace, wristband and watch — that give both the patient and the care team continuous information on how a compromised heart is functioning. Medications can be adjusted and dietary recommendations can be made in real time that are specific to the individual. The sensors replace once-daily routines such as measuring a patient's weight for signs of water retention, an indirect rather than direct measure of heart function.
Social influences
The ability to track a patient's movements will help providers determine how social and environmental factors affect his or her health. The Kaiser institute is evaluating products that can analyze various components of a patient's daily routine. Where does she eat breakfast and lunch? Does he interact with other people on a regular basis, or is he generally isolated? Correlating such personal information with vital signs can produce important insights into an individual's well-being.
Medication compliance
An ingestible — and digestible — sensor is being rolled out to record whether and when a patient takes a medication. Developed by Proteus Digital Health, London and Redwood City, Calif., the chip uses gastric fluids as a power source, which means it turns on when it reaches the stomach. The sensor transmits the identity of the medication and the time it was taken to a skin patch, which then sends that info to an app on the patient's mobile device. The patch also detects and transmits heart rate, activity and rest.
Timely diagnosis
Diagnostic tests to detect medical problems can be expensive and time-consuming for patients, and they have to be done one by one. A nonprofit organization called the XPrize Foundation is holding a $10 million competition to find a solution. Early next year, it will choose among 10 teams of finalists from around the world who are attempting to create a "tricorder," named for the fictional device used to diagnose ailing characters in the "Star Trek" TV series.
Approaches vary among the competing teams but, at minimum, all devices are required to continuously monitor up to five vital signs for 72 hours, says Grant Campany, the foundation's senior director. And they must be able to identify and diagnose up to 15 conditions as varied as stroke, AIDS, pertussis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Every geek's jaw dropped at the sight of the 3-D printer when it first came to market. These days, medical researchers are harnessing its potential to vastly improve patient care. For example, Kaiser Permanente's Los Angeles Medical Center is perfecting the use of 3-D printers to produce exact, multidimensional models of trouble spots inside patients. Surgeons can scrutinize and handle the models, then simulate a variety of possible procedures before ever going into the operating room.
This technology's potential was dramatically demonstrated when a Kaiser patient suffered a tear in the wall of his aorta, the main artery leading out of his heart. The clinical team "printed his artery in 3-D and actually went through several different scenarios on how they could insert a stent to prevent further rupture," Chai says. "They used that in a team-based training environment to see how they could confidently proceed with some of these special procedures." Chai compares the process with a flight simulator in which a pilot masters the intricacies of the cockpit before entering a real one. The innovation "allows us to develop a more specialized, personalized, precise treatment plan," Chai explains. "Ultimately, that improves the quality and affordability of care." The patient, by the way, came through the procedure fine and is recovering.
The potential and how to reach it
Much of the emerging technology is aimed at getting inside the body without actually going inside it. "There is already significant interest in noninvasive data acquisition, whether that's light imaging or infrared or sound waves," says Peter Reinhart, director of the Institute for Applied Life Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Longer-range research is focused on capturing much more sophisticated information than current products can, Reinhart says. A promising example is a patch that uses a combination of electrical and chemical signals to identify either the predisposition to or the existence of a particular disease.
That would provide an enormous advantage when it comes to illnesses that involve brain and nerve degeneration, such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's or Parkinson's disease. Instead of conducting a test and comparing results with a norm, as is done today, continuous tracking of certain biomarkers would establish a personal baseline while an individual is still healthy. Readings that significantly move off the baseline would signal declining cognitive activity before symptoms ever arise, and physicians would be alerted to do further tests. "Now you get a much earlier readout that something has just changed in your body, so let's talk to someone," Reinhart says.
To reach that potential, three things must happen: improvements in sensor technology; better interpretation of massive amounts of data in a medically relevant, rigorous way; and development of earlier intervention strategies. "As we get better and better at this, we're going to find that new therapeutic options are going to be open to us," Reinhart says. "Identifying an Alzheimer's patient at the [observable] behavioral point, when 70 percent of the brain mass has already disappeared, really limits the number of therapeutic options you can provide that patient. If you could identify someone like that seven or eight years earlier, it now opens up a very different array of intervention strategies."
The promise of personalized medicine to meet the unique needs of individuals depends on establishing baselines for each patient. To assess anxiety, for example, "One person's stressor is another person's idea of just an average day," Reinhart says. "So just differentiating across individuals will be huge."
That's especially true with post-traumatic stress disorder. A lot of treatments have been shown to be effective, but they work differently for different people, says the Scripps institute's Steinhubl. The emerging sensors will provide objective evidence of when someone is getting anxious, and how activities like meditating, reading a book, taking a walk or shooting baskets can ease the anxiety. "That can and will be life-changing," he says. — John Morrissey is a freelance writer in Chicago.
Google glass aids trauma care
Trauma surgeons at the Forbes Hospital Trauma Center near Pittsburgh are testing Google Glass technology using a software called VIZR, Visual Info Zonal Reminder. Google Glass is a wearable technology with an optical head-mounted display that provides information in a smartphone-like, hands-free format. Wearers communicate with the Internet via natural language voice command. At Forbes, the technology initially is being used to provide prompts during patient resuscitation based on checklists similar to those used in the aviation industry. "With this new technology, surgeons will have hands-free, immediate access to critical information, checklists and reminders specific to injury categories that will greatly assist our efforts to provide effective, timely care that saves lives," says Christoph R. Kaufmann, M.D., trauma medical director. For example, if a pregnant patient with injuries to the abdomen is in transport to the emergency department, the surgeon can use a voice command to access a checklist with crucial questions to ask the paramedic upon or even before the ambulance arrives.

Press-and-print body parts
Last year, Cornell University scientists used a 3-D printer to produce an artificial ear that, according to Randy Reiland's January 2014 report in Smithsonian.com, "looks and works like the real thing." Reiland notes that researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have bioprinted blood vessels; their counterparts at Wake Forest University developed a method for printing skin cells directly onto wounds. And a company called Organovo has come up with a 3-D printed liver. Next up? According to Bernard Meyerson, writing for weforum.com, a 4-D printer is being developed capable of creating products that can alter themselves in response to environmental change, such as heat and humidity. That could be useful for things like clothes and footwear, Meyerson points out, and also for "health care products, such as implants designed to change in the human body."

Battery-powered germ-killers
As the number of joint replacement surgeries grows, so do concerns about the complications of infection from antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Biomedical engineers from the North Carolina State University Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering are developing nanotechnology built directly into orthopedic implants. A battery-activated device powers an army of microscopic germ-killers to fight bacterial infections, including methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus, or MRSA. The process applies a low-intensity electrical charge to a silver titanium implant, releasing low-toxicity silver ions that kill or neutralize bacteria. The power source, similar to a watch battery, can be integrated into the implant design. The body's own fluids act as a conducting medium between battery and silver, enabling the low-level charge.

The UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay now has a fleet of about two dozen Tug robots delivering drugs, linens and meals and carting away medical waste, soiled linens and trash, reports Josh Valcarcel in Wired magazine. Twenty-seven infrared and ultrasonic sensors enable the robots to avoid bumping into people or blocking their paths. They stand back from elevators and summon them through the hospital's Wi-Fi, using radio waves to open doors. Human staff have varied reactions to the Tugs and, in his amusing piece, Valcarcel, who grew up in the Silicon Valley, says even he finds the hospital robots "just weird."

A health check chair
Checking health signs such as blood pressure, temperature and mobility usually involves multiple tests and can be time-consuming. A chair developed by Sharp is equipped with multiple sensors that can measure a user's vital signs all at once and save the data to the cloud for physicians to reference. Sharp designed the chair for patients to use at home and is considering adding a videoconferencing system so patients can visit with physicians remotely. "Rather than people who are ill going to the doctor, our idea is for healthy people to think about how to stay healthy, prepare for any emergencies and improve their day-to-day lifestyle," a spokesman said way back in 2013.

Fingertip surgery
A stretchable electronic sensor may replace the scalpel and other operating room tools for some surgical procedures. It lets physicians feel electronic activity and slice tissue with their fingertips. Futuristicnews.com reports that researchers at the University of Illinois, Northwestern University and Dalian (China) University of Technology changed hard semiconductors into flexible electronics "and managed to produce special materials, which could be used for surgical gloves that give their wearer an enhanced sense of touch." The news website states that silicon was transformed into ultrathin "nanomembranes, cut into wavy shapes and combined with a rubbery membrane."

Q: Understanding difficulties on pthread I am trying to understand pthreads and I am compiling programs I find online.
Here is a simple one.
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define NUM_THREADS 5

void *PrintHello(void *threadid)
{
   long tid;
   tid = (long)threadid;
   printf("Hello World! It's me, thread #%ld!\n", tid);
   pthread_exit(NULL);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   pthread_t threads[NUM_THREADS];
   int rc;
   long t;
   for(t=0;t<NUM_THREADS;t++){
     printf("In main: creating thread %ld\n", t);
     rc = pthread_create(&threads[t], NULL, PrintHello, (void *)t);
     if (rc){
       printf("ERROR; return code from pthread_create() is %d\n", rc);
       exit(-1);
       }
     }

   /* Last thing that main() should do */
   pthread_exit(NULL);
}

So I cannot understand the syntax of the PrintHello function.
1)The "*PrintHello" function name is something like o pointer(because of the star symbol)?
2)The function's parameter is a pointer with no type? So... not even a pointer?
3)How can we cast a void type of variable into a long?
Are we not able to build a simpler function and pass it in the thread?
4)At last in main, at pthread function, what does the (void *)t parameter means? :O
Thanks a lot guys!

A:
1)The "*PrintHello" function name is something like a pointer(because
  of the star symbol)?

It's function, returning pointer to void. i.e. void *.

2)The function's parameter is a pointer with no type? So... not even a
  pointer?

That's correct. The thread function does a take void pointer.

3)How can we cast a void type of variable into a long?

It's a conversion from pointer type to an integer type. This conversion is implementation-defined and potentially undefined. This will work on most implementations today but by no means fully portable.

4) Are we not able to build a simpler function and pass it in the
  thread?

No. Because the pthread_create() function specifically expects a function pointer that takes a void* argument and returns void*. So you can't pass a different function.

5) At last in main, at pthread function, what does the (void *)t
  parameter means?

This is integer to pointer conversion. The same comments in (3) applies here.

A: PrintHello() is a function accepting a void* argument and returning a void* value.
If doubts persist, read Kernighan and Ritchie to learn C programming.

A: You should study a litle bit of C language before deeping into parallelism. That way your study will be a lot easier:
A void pointer is a general purpose pointer. Check this tutorial on void pointers.

A:
1: Thread functions need to have a void* return type as a void pointer can be used to point to any piece of data in memory.
2: Yes that's correct.
3: This is a conversion from a pointer to an int.
4: This is a int to pointer conversion.

You should read some basic tutorials on threads and read some books on C.
