Malaga weather favors a multiplicity of outdoor activities. Since in Malaga there are over 300 sunny days a year even in winter you can enjoy warm days to be in short sleeves and enjoy a few hours on the beach; you can even see some daring tourists taking a bath.
But Malaga is not only beach: The Costa del Sol is renowned for having a large number of exclusive golf courses where have been taken place major international tournaments and where now starts the high season from October until April.
In Malaga city can be seen imposing historic buildings and museums; stroll through botanical gardens or enjoy a glass of wine in one of the many tapas bars. And the best: all of these sights are just a few feet away, so they can be visited on foot.
In the city centre are worth visiting the ancient cathedral, the neighborhood of La Malagueta, the episcopal palace, the Park of Malaga, the Bullring and Alameda Principal. As for the museums, do not miss the famous Picasso Museum and the Picasso birthplace. And of course, you shouldn´t either miss to visit the castle Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress palace of the 11th century overlooking the city, and the Roman theatre, built in the first century.

Junior doctors have barely been out of the news over the last few months. With the Government intending to impose a new contract, the situation continues to bring home just how difficult these issues can be for those caught up in them.
Alongside the legal and practical implications of forcing through change are the reputational, workplace and wider challenges that flow from disharmony between employers and employees. Ultimately, it takes a brave employer with a really good business reason and a well thought-out plan to tackle something like this. But it can be done; you just need to be prepared. [back to top]
Lay-off reasonableness
Craig v Bob Lindfield & Son
Laying staff off can be a way of a business coping with a dip in workloads. It's a temporary arrangement. So where a contract allows the employer to lay an employee off indefinitely and without pay, should it be implied that the period of lay-off will be no more than is reasonable?
Mr Craig had been laid off for four weeks. The employer was hopeful that things would pick up, but before that happened Mr Craig resigned and claimed constructive dismissal. The lay-off period had been too long, it was argued.
He lost. The Employment Appeal Tribunal held that reasonableness was not to be implied into the term of the contract. And, anyway, four weeks was not considered to be unreasonable.
That's not to say that constructive dismissal will never apply in a lay-off situation. It depends on the circumstances. If an employer had certain motives for keeping workers off work – to maximise profits at the expense of employer/employee trust and confidence, for example - then there might well be a different outcome.

Trouser-ban lifted at BA
British Airways has ended its long-running dispute over the right of certain members of its female cabin crew to wear trousers.
According to reports, this is the culmination of two years of wrangling over whether members of BA's 'mixed fleet' crew had to stick to the skirt-only rule imposed on them (subject to exemptions on religious or medical grounds).
Regional Officer at Unite, Matt Smith, is quoted as saying:
"Female cabin crew no longer have to shiver in the cold, wet and snow of wintery climates, but also can be afforded the protection of trousers at destinations where there is a risk of malaria or the Zika virus."
Dress codes can be a thorny subject for employers; they can be imposed, but must be carefully thought out. If gender is an influencing factor then a sex discrimination claim is a real possibility. You'd need a very good business reason that justifies differences. And the key to getting dress codes right in the male/female context is to impose similar standards of dress and appearance on men and women: 'smart dress', for example. [back to top]
Draft rules on gender pay reporting have been published.
Under The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2016, employers with more than 250 employees will have to publish information about the payments they make to their male and female employees. There could be a naming and shaming process, and even civil and criminal sanctions, for those that don't comply.
It's expected that the new rules will come into force in October this year. Although the first reporting deadline isn't until April 2018, larger employers will need to gear up for this, which will include taking a snapshot of pay as at April 2017. [back to top]
Dyslexia at work
Two stories with dyslexia as their focus; two completely different angles.
The first was about a dyslexic member of staff at Starbucks who had mistakenly entered the wrong information into a duty roster. She was accused of falsifying the documents, was demoted and told to retrain.
She won her disability discrimination case. According to reports, Starbucks hadn't seemed to properly understood equality issues, and it should have made reasonable adjustments to take account of the dyslexia.
Also in the news was an advert for a job that was open only to people with dyslexia. "We are simply looking for the best innovative thinkers and they are usually dyslexics", the marketing firm's founder is reported to have said.
Controversial, maybe, but favouring someone who has a disability isn't prohibited by the Equality Act. And the ad is an interesting take on dyslexia; one that really shouts about its positive aspects.
Employers should take note and make sure that they can recognise the characteristics. According to the British Dyslexia Association, about one in 10 people has dyslexia, and not all have been formally diagnosed. It can mean that dyslexic employees are not properly understood, not treated fairly, and their strengths are not fully played to at work. [back to top]
Door closed on Lock case?
British Gas Trading v Lock
Well, not exactly. But we now have an Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) decision that upholds last year's tribunal decision.
The tribunal had decided that Mr Lock's results-based commission payments should form part of his holiday pay calculation. Leaving commission out of the equation had meant that he would earn less while on annual leave than he would if he were working – he wouldn't be getting his 'normal' pay - and that wasn't consistent with the rules on working time.
That position has now been reinforced by British Gas' unsuccessful EAT appeal. But before you get too comfortable, there is going to be another appeal – this time to the Court of Appeal. So there's still a bit of 'wait and see'.
While the current state of play is that holiday pay for workers' four weeks' statutory holiday must include commission, some uncertainty remains. It is a difficult area for employers to navigate until there's firm guidance on the practicalities of calculating future holiday pay, and reimbursing staff for past underpayments.
If you are an employer that pays salaries that include variable elements, it's certainly worth getting some advice on your existing arrangements and on your exposure to claims. [back to top]
From the end of March, big companies – those with annual turnover of £36 million or more – will be required to file information on modern slavery. They'll have to publish an annual statement that sets out what they've done in their last financial year to make sure that slavery and human trafficking isn't happening (a) in any part of their business, and (b) in their supply chains.
It's this second category that could affect smaller businesses. If you're not in the £36m category, you could still be a player in those businesses' supply chains – or, indeed, in their suppliers' supply chains. You should keep information about what you're doing to make sure that slavery and trafficking isn't happening in your organisation. Those you supply will need this in order to comply with their legal obligations to provide modern slavery statements. And they'll probably thank you for being on the ball.
Some employers will see this as a formality, but it's something that needs to be taken very seriously. And remember that it's not just the slavery issue itself that you'll need to think about. You'll be handling and passing on information – data – and so will need to make sure you are Data Protection Act compliant. Take time now to put some plans and systems in place and get to grips with exactly what the new rules will mean for you. [back to top]
Tribunal fees
As predicted, UNISON will take its challenge to the introduction of employment tribunal fees to the Supreme Court. It comes after a failed attempt to get the Court of Appeal to decide in the union's favour.
Will this one succeed? Who knows. While Scotland has announced that it will abolish fees, the picture in England and Wales is set to remain uncertain for a little while longer.
Pay gap between black and white workers
It seems that the more qualifications a black worker has, the greater the pay gap they face.
The Trade Union Congress has analysed figures taken from the Office for National Statistics Labour Force Survey from 2014 and 2015. It's found that black workers who had GCSEs were paid 11.4% less on average than white workers with GCSEs. That percentage rose to 14.3% in the case of A-levels. Black workers with degrees were paid on average £4.30 an hour less than white graduates; that's a pay gap of 23%.
If we thought we were getting there on equality, clearly there's plenty more to do. [back to top]

Sturdy twin cushion cardboard to support hanging clothes. Packing your wardrobe has never been easier. No folding of clothes necessary, just hang them directly onto the steel rail (sold separately). Ideal for packing tall items such as umbrellas. Fold down front for easy clothes transfer.


The very diverse crowd was composed of members of at least two dozen organizations: Labor unions including LIUNA (homebuilders), Domestic Workers of America, Warehouse Workers United, SEIU locals, and day laborers from Rancho Cucamonga and Pomona, Students organizations, mostly from UCR and the Claremont Colleges, faith-based organizations including CLUE, the San Bernardino and Riverside chapters of the Peace and Freedom Party, Citizens Against Private Armies, Riverside and Corona chapters of Food Not Bombs, the Save Our Chinatown Committee, musicians, families, and independent activists.
Speakers talked about the Employee Free Choice Act, the DREAM Act, family separation due to raids and deportations, Obama's promises to the immigrant community, and the history of May Day and the labor movement.
Participants handed out flyers urging marchers to call Mayor Loveridge of Riverside to end Riverside PD collaboration with the Border Patrol. His number is (951) 826-5551 and his e-mail address isrloveridge@riversideca.gov. Other handbills included an invitation to the Riverside Human Relations Commission on May 21 at six p.m. on the seventh floor of Riverside City Hall (3900 Main Street) to demand an end to the RPD-Border Patrol "memorandum of understanding." An activist handed out a pamphlet with an image of a guitar bearing the words "This machine kills fascists." It contained the lyrics to several movement songs in English and Spanish.
The Save Our Chinatown Committee invited people to their fundraiser concert that evening at Back to the Grind coffeehouse, and the Fernando Pedraza Day Labor Coalition invited us all to the May 5 memorial for Fernando Pedraza, who died while defending the rights of Rancho Cucamonga day laborers from the Minutemen. The memorial will be held from 10-12 on Tuesday, May 5 at the corner of Arrow and Grove in Rancho Cucamonga. Finally, members of the Coalición Pomona Habla warned us of checkpoints occurring in Moreno Valley and Pomona.


The issue I'm facing is that a shop can sell two types of products. For example, furniture and clothing. In my database, I already have separate tables for both furniture items and clothing items. The suggested shops_and_items schema therefore does not work.
I'm wondering, what is the best way to go about it. Should I create two tables shop_and_furniture_items and shop_and_clothing_items ?
Databases don't naturally fit hierarchies - they do work, but it's not their strong suit.
Note that product_ID is a foreign key and primary key... a product would either have a corresponding record in clothes OR furniture. This doesn't need to be auto incrementing. A product has one clothes item or one furniture item (not both).
WordPress uses wp_posts for a post, page, any many other plugin-defined types (map, questionnaire, gallery etc), if they need extra properties then they are stored in wp_postmeta.
This might need some more validation before the data goes into the database as meta_value will most likely be a varchar column so you will need to standardise how you interpret values. Will your code use M/F for Male/Female? What units for measurments?
I recommend grabbing some open source shopping carts and installing them just to find out how they structure their SQL code - they will have their own solutions for sub-categories and custom properties of products.

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9+ in India. The smartphones resemble the Galaxy S8's design with a new camera setup with variable aperture. After launching its flagship series, the company is updating its older portfolio with the newer version of Android OS. Samsung follows the two-letter OS upgrade for its flagship smartphones. The Galaxy S8 was released with Android Nougat and the device has received an update for Android Oreo.
According to an official document found on Samsung's website, the company is planning to upgrade at least 6 devices, which have completed the two year's OS cycle. However, unlike the S8 or the S7, these devices will not receive the latest Oreo update. Instead, these OS builds will be based on an older Android version with security patch and bug fixes. Though these devices are listed to receive the software update, no time frame is mentioned.
According to the document, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge will receive Android 7 Nougat update G9250ZCU2ERB2. The update weights at 1233.30MB, which upgrades the smartphone from Android Marshmallow to Android Nougat. However, the Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5 are expected to receive the incremental software update. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Note 8 will receive Android 8 Oreo update with Samsung Experience UI 9.0. In fact, the update for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy Note 8 is already live in most of the countries.

An Orange County Superior Court judge has ordered Santa Ana Mayor Miguel A. Pulido to pay $1,000 for failing to disclose his financial interests just outside the city's borders.
The decision, made Tuesday by Judge Robert D. Monarch, resolves a lawsuit pursued by Nativo V. Lopez, a former school board member who has sparred with Pulido for two decades about the city's future. A written decision is not expected for several weeks.
Hermandad Mexicana Nacional, an immigrant rights organization headed by Lopez, filed the lawsuit two years ago, alleging that the mayor had not fully declared his business interests on economic disclosure forms that California public officials file annually. This year, Pulido campaigned for the successful recall of Lopez from the Santa Ana Unified School District board.
The civil judgment "established as a matter of law that this politician violated the law designed to protect the public from illegal political practices," said Lopez attorney Chris Nicoll.
Pulido, who was elected mayor in 1994, and his attorneys also billed the ruling as a victory. Pulido attorney Charles McClung noted that months ago, the judge ordered Hermandad to pay $700 to Pulido for failing to produce documents in connection with the lawsuit. As a result, McClung said, the mayor's net cost because of the judgment is $300.
Pulido was ordered to pay $500 to Hermandad and $500 to the state.
The judge "in essence said that I acted in good faith. He said there was no prejudice to the public, meaning that no one was ever hurt by this," Pulido said.
At issue were Pulido's declarations to the state Fair Political Practices Commission. In 1999 Pulido teamed up with developer Kris Kakkar to build senior housing and a hotel a quarter-mile outside the city's border, which should have been publicly disclosed, according to state law because it is within two miles of the city's border.
But that year, Pulido's economic-interest statement listed only his muffler shop and a Santa Ana rental property. He amended his declaration in August 2000 to reflect the two additional addresses without further explanation.
Nicoll said the judgment confirmed that Pulido had violated the public trust.

A round-up of some of the latest local and international floor care category news.
Dyson's V10 won't have the New Zealand market all to itself, once Electrolux rolls out its latest contender in the cordless space, the Pure F9 vacuum (above).
Pure F9 uses powerful battery technology and innovative design solutions to provide consumers with a product that combines the performance of a traditional vacuum cleaner with the freedom of a stick vacuum.
This is thanks in part to the powerful battery in this new model which has been designed to clean an entire home on a single charge.
Design-wise, the flexible main unit can shift position up or down and, together with a pull-out hose, makes it easy to get under furniture and other hard-to-reach places.
Thanks to its ergonomic design, the vacuum is light in the hand, can be adjusted to fit the user's height, as well as stand on its own in an upright position anywhere.
Suction power also adjusts automatically to the surface being vacuumed, whether hard floors or carpet.
No official word yet as to the availability of Pure F9 in New Zealand but we will, of course, keep you posted.
September saw Dyson reveal its next generation robot vacuum, the 360 Heurist.
Although information is limited for now, this update of Dyson's 360 Eye robot brings with it several improvements including a new 20 times faster processor, voice assistant capabilities and increased bristles, suction power and runtime.
The 360 Heurist also has an LED ring around its top camera allowing it to see for itself in the dark.
The latest addition to the Roomba stable is the i7+ Robot Vacuum with Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal (right).
This unit is the first to automatically empty itself into an enclosed, disposable bag that holds 30 robot bins so users don't have to think about vacuuming for weeks at a time.
The 3-Stage Cleaning System uses Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes and 10X suction to clean different floor surfaces throughout a home.
The i7+ robot also learns, maps and adapts to homes using its Imprint Smart Mapping technology, letting users control which rooms are cleaned and when, using the iRobot HOME App.
ANZ APPROACH FOR ELECTROLUX SMALLS, FLOORCARE?

Published by Statista Research Department, Sep 12, 2022
This statistic indicates the quarterly fluctuation of gross agricultural products wholesale prices in France between the first quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2017. During the three-month period ending in June 2017, the wholesale volume of gross agricultural products had decreased by almost eight points of balance of opinion, compared to the first quarter of the same year.

It's that time of year. The weather is a tad cooler, the pumpkin craze is revving up, on weekends you're donning your favorite football team glam, and you have the TV set on ESPN. Or maybe you're loading up the car to head to the stadium and best of all, tailgate! Even if you're not the biggest football fan, it is hard to resist the mouth-watering aromas and treats of tailgating.
It is true that game day food, while delicious, isn't often the friendliest to our figures. It is also true, however, that it does not have to be that way! With a little planning, it is still possible to satisfy the taste buds and avoid the guilt after the game. Besides, who wants to feel so sluggish they can't hoop and holler their support when their team scores?
Chips and Dip – Always a game time favorite, but often fat and calorie-packed. Avoid this by opting for baked tortilla or pita chips and using dips such as guacamole, hummus, a low sodium salsa, or this yummy and healthier Chile con Queso recipe (so much less junk in it than buying store-bought too!). For more preservative-free dip recipes check out this post.
Nuts – Get in some omega 3's with a favorite game day snack. So easy to travel with, little mess, and no refrigeration needed. Get creative and jazz things up with trail mixes. If you looking for some great ideas in this category, check out some of Nuts.com registered dietitian's top picks on their healthy snack page.
Jerky – Another great low-calorie traveling snack with a boost of protein. Jerky-making has become quite a popular hobby if you happen to own a smoker. If you don't, however, aim for getting homemade jerky from local meat markets, etc. as many commercial brand names have a lot of sodium and preservatives such as MSG.
Chili – So nice to cozy up with hot chili during a cold-game day. The possibilities are endless: lean beef, turkey, or this delicious and highly reviewed White Bean Turkey Chili. Chili is typically low-carb and full of protein. There are TONS of healthy chili recipes out there based on your preferences.
Soups/Stews – Again, so many recipes to choose from, and they can all be easily transported with the help of a thermos. They are pretty hard to beat on freezing game days too. Even better, choose soups and stews that have 400mg sodium or less, and are packed with nutrition from vegetables or legumes.
Sliders – An icon of game-day food. You can get very creative here. Throw lean ground sirloin or turkey on the grill, or use BBQ chicken or slow-cooker pork loin. Use whole-wheat mini-buns and pile on the veggies. Lower-calorie cheeses to try include swiss or parmesan. Then, voilà! A satisfying mini-meal that with those slight tweaks, packs in more nutrition with fewer calories. If you want to get even fancier, check out my favorite pesto recipe to top them with.
Beverages – With the wrong choices, high-calorie or sugary drinks can unfortunately sabotage your health efforts without you even realizing it. Fruit-infused waters or teas can help replace sodas. Although I'm personally not against having a beer on game-days, remember the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no more than 1 drink a day for women, and no more than 2 a day for men.
For more healthy ideas, check out my post on Game Day Eats. So many options. Have any great, nutritious recipes? Please feel free to share them!


Aunt Mag's Adventures in Quilting: Is it really fall?
Looking at my blog I realized it has been almost 3 months since I last posted. Did I set out to go so long? No, I can assure you I had every intention of updating on at least a monthly basis, or more frequently. One of the hazards of getting older is that it seems they speed up time ... every day I rarely cease to be amazed at how fast the day flew by. Remember when you were a kid and the days just drug on and on and on?
Well, I can say one thing and that is I have been very busy! One very large accomplishment - and a few smaller ones.
Here's another baby quilt I made with Baby Einstein fabrics - just adorable! It was a gift & the parents just loved it. Again, the challenge is to make it 100% from my stash - which required a little creativity on the back, but the result is adorable!
I had a lot of fun piecing this quilt & it sure to be enjoyed by the little boy it was made for!
Pics below show block close-ups & you can see the quilting - which also was a lot of fun!
Didn't the back turn out adorable?
I have also been enjoying my embroidery machine - very, very much! It is fun & so creative.
I'm still going to make a couple more, plus a few other harvest related items before moving on to just Christmas, but it sure has been fun! The pillow covers are made "sham" style so that they can be removed, washed & easily stored for next season. Goal? Set of pillow covers for each season. Sure is fun & so easy to do!
Enough for now .... at least enough so you can see that The Adventure's In Quilting continue!

RIP, Walter Cronkite
My Walter Cronkite appreciation is up at NJ.com.
Baylink said...
As it happens, another of Johnson's press aides is on-camera in the 6:53 obit CBS aired last night, and he phrases it the way I personally have always heard it:
"If I've lost Walter Cronkite, I've lost the war."
10:04 AM, July 18, 2009
And I'll reply to CCharlie over here:
Yes, Cronkite told us what to think. But you know what? People *want* to be told what to think, and I think a lot better of Uncle Walter for that job than I do Rush Limbaugh, or Matt Drudge (feather in his hatband, indeed).
I'll cop Ken Levine's observation for you; muse on this:
Was Cronkite a Democrat? Or a Republican? How do you know?
Eyeball Wit said...
Fitting, in a way, that this happens during the anniversary of Apollo 11, because that's my most enduring memory of him.
Pamela Jaye said...
Oddly, last night, after talking to my brother, Baylink, I started to search for my childhood memories of "Uncle" Walter - and found I really didn't have any. (Thinking further, my father may have referred to him as Walter Crankcase, but that may have been more wordplay than opinion).
What I do remember, as a kid (which I was in the 60's) is the strange pattern our lamp made on the parlor wall (before I was quite old enough to realize it was a pattern made by the lamp) and the nightly Goodnight David. Goodnight Chet.
(was that in the wrong order?)
So, I'm still trying to figure out when Baylink did all that Walter watching (and while I'm at it - Johnny Carson watching - though I believe the parents *did* watch him)
I have nothing against Mr. Cronkite (though apparently my roommate does) - I just have no memories (the closest I get to memories all belong to Kevin Arnold on The Wonder Years, I think).
As for telling people what to believe - there's a speech in The American President from Michael J Fox that was the first time I noticed he could act... about people drinking the sand.
I could go look it up, but Baylink can probably recite it from memory.
I know this is tangential, but why is it that no major network (and only a handful of minor ones) is making a splash about landing on the moon? is it cause it's 40 years, not 50?
I have no clue which news anchor narrated this event for me - I was 10 and in Children's Hospital in Boston that night (really bad asthma attack).
I do remember seeing it, though.
When I finally grew up and had to choose a network news program to watch, on my own - it was Peter Jennings, and I share Baylink's feelings on that one (not that I don't feel something in this case - just that, for me, it's not based on anything in my own life.)
I look forward to the special on Sunday night.
(and btw, I respect Ken's "was he a republican or democrat" question. If those who watched him don't know, that's good.)
Oh dear - I'm veering close to politics, so my next sentence won't be typed.
Nice article (but Ken spoiled me).
Alas, there won't be a lot of coverage of this - I mean not for long: we'll soon be back to Michael Jackson (yes, I'm watching the wrong programs).
What did he die of? CerebroVascular Illness? Makes me think stroke, but I've never heard it put that way, and the House in me is curious.
btw, I never knew which was Huntley and which was Brinkley till years later when Brinkley was with Peter Jennings.

Kensington said...
So now that he's dead we're supposed to pretend that we couldn't tell he was a Democrat? The vast majority of all journalists are liberal Democrats, but one of their most prominent members is supposed to be some kind of inscrutable enigma?
And even if he was, it's okay because people want to be told what to think?
Ken Levine's observation is vapid.
2:03 PM, July 18, 2009
The notion that his liberal bias was unperceived (then or now) only seems to be held by people who share it. He was as partisan as Keith Olberman, just less deranged and better at hiding it.
7s Tim said...
I thought this blog generally tried to not get into political discussions? Are we just taking advantage because the teacher's not in class?
filmcricket said...
R.I.P. Mr. Cronkite. I fear your like will never be seen in America again. And nice obit, Alan - well done.
I share your sadness at the loss of a man who seemed to personify that more unified era, when people didn't choose a news source that fit their preexisting bias. And it sickens me to see how quickly people chose to respond to an obituary by picking sides in the culture war and firing off barrages at the opposing side. Walter, rest in peace, you are in a place where none of this nonsense matters any more.
Halli said...
Just one comment: the idea that Walter represents an era when people didn't splinter their attention is an artifact of the technological and economic reality of TV, not a particular social reality of the era. Much as Pulitzer introduced the era of mass-market newspapers with multiple newspapers per city, the cable news and internet era have introduced a new era of multiple sources, not in response to social pressures, but in response to technological ones.
I'm not sure that's true. Wasn't there a time when people said it was not polite to talk about politics, religion or sex? Now people do it a lot - at least on the internet - and frequently in a far from polite manner.
I feel as if someone had opened the floodgates.
But I'm with Tracey. Where Walter is, these things no longer matter.
One thing about the 60's - with the quest for the moon, there was often good news to report. Now the anchors have to cast around for a happy note to end a broadcast with. Or so it seems to me. (and I was never into the space thing - I don't think - until we landed on the moon, and after that, I didn't care either. I never understood the excitement that Enterprise tried to convey - and then one night I watched as JJ on American Dreams came up with a glove for the astronauts to wear. And suddenly I got it. Odd.
Perhaps 40 years later, I'll appreciate it more.
dez said...
Very nice column, Alan. I wish there were more newsmen around like Uncle Walter.
Wow, I see what happens when the "no politics" rule gets tossed out. Ugly.
A shame you can't enforce that rule over at NJ.com, where it's even uglier.
I cried when I heard about Cronkite. He was such a huge part of my childhood.
I looked over at NJ.com
It was bad.
Sad that someone's death turns into such a battle. (I don't know how I feel about MJ's death, but the rapid switch from "he's a perv" to "he's a saint" threw me. Meanwhile, I wasn't hearing any negativity about WC before his death - ever. He had a job & he did it.)
Did Peter Jennings die before Alan had a log, or did he just not warrant an obit due to lesser stature?
The propensity to turn everything into an "us" vs "them" of late is getting a bit old.
Or maybe it's just expanding into areas that I frequent, where it did not, before?

Q: How to insert a dynamic id to table in sql? I want to add to a table in my DB ("InjuryScenario") a dynamic id (because i work with visual studio c#) and i tried this:
declare @InjuryScenarioTMPp int;
set @InjuryScenarioTMPp = (select MAX (InjuryScenario_id) from InjuryScenario) +1;
print @InjuryScenarioTMPp;

when i printed it, it doesn't show me anything.
when i tried to add a row to the table and i tried the 3 rows (up) again it does print "2".
maybe when i don't have any rows in the table it doesn't know how to do (NULL+1)?
does anyone have an idea why?

A: It depends on what kind of database would you like to use. For example, in MySQL you have to use AUTO INCREMENT on one field. But in Postgres or in Oracle, you should create first a sequence and later than add the next value of this sequence to new record.

A: A NULLvalue is an unknown value, and the result of arithmetic on unknown values is also unknown. What you can do is to use either theCOALESCEor theISNULLfunction to replace the NULLvalue with 0when you use it:
declare @InjuryScenarioTMPp int;
set @InjuryScenarioTMPp = (select ISNULL(MAX(InjuryScenario_id),0) from InjuryScenario) + 1;
print @InjuryScenarioTMPp;

See MSDN: COALESCE and ISNULL
For an example:
declare @i int
set @i = null
select @i+1, coalesce(@i, 0)+1, isnull(@i, 0)+1
set @i = 1
select @i+1, coalesce(@i, 0)+1, isnull(@i, 0)+1

Output:
----------- ----------- -----------
NULL        1           1

(1 row(s) affected)

----------- ----------- -----------
2           2           2

(1 row(s) affected)

Voterly's Issue Scores (1 - 1 of 1)
Below lists the position this politician has taken on a political issue. The star rating represents the politician's prioritization and action on the issue based on data collected by relevant interest groups. Select an issue to view a more in-depth explanation of each rating.
Proponents of gun rights support decreased regulations related to gun ownership on the basis of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. They argue that gun control laws infringe upon the right to self-defense and deny people a sense of safety.
How Voterly calculates issue scores
Voterly uses special interest group ratings to determine a politician's stance on a political or social issue. Special interest groups release ratings of politicians to convey whether that politician is in favor of their cause. For example, a politician who actively supports gun rights will receive a high rating from a pro-gun interest group. That same politician would be rated low by a gun control interest group. This collection of ratings informs where we place a politician on the spectrum of the issue.

When I speak about data mining, I often refer to the chi-square test as my favorite statistical test. I should be more specific, though, because I am really refering to the two-dimensional chi-square test. This is described in detail in Chapter 3 of Data Analysis Using SQL and Excel, a book that I do heartily recommend and is the starting point for many ideas that I write about here.
The chi-square test can be applied to more than two dimensions. However, the multi-dimensional chi-square behaves a bit differently from the two-dimensional case. This posting describes why. The next posting describes the calculation for the multi-dimensional chi-square. And the third posting in this series will describe how to do the calculations using SQL.
This data is summarized from ten observations. The first row says that in one data record, both A and B are zero. The last row says that in four of them, both A and B are 1. In practice, when using the chi-square test, we would want higher counts -- and we would get them, because these are counts of customers (say, responders and non-responders by gender).
The expected values have two important properties. First, the row sums and column sums are the same as the original data. So, 1+2 = 1.2+1.8 = 3, and so on for both rows and both columns.
The second property is a little more subtle, but it says that the ratios of values in any column or any row are the same. So, 1.2/1.8 = 2.8/4.2 = 2/3, and so on. Of all possible 2X2 matrices, there is only one that has both these properties.
Now, the chi-square value for any cell is the square of the difference between the actual value and the expected value divided by the expected value. The chi-square for the matrix is the sum of the chi-square values for all the cells. These follow a chi-square distribution with one degree of freedom, and this gives us a enough information to determine whether the original counts are likely due to chance.
Calculating expected values is easy. The expected value for any cell is the product of the row sum times the column sum divided by the total in the table. For example, for A=0, B=0, the row sum is 3 and the column sum is 4. The product is 12, so the expected value is 1.2 = 12/10.
The chi-square calculation follows as in the earlier case. The chi-square value for each cell is the actual count minus the expected value squared divided by the expected value. The chi-square value for the entire table is the sum of all the chi-square values for each cell.
The only difference here is that there are three degrees of freedom. This affects how to transform the chi-square value into a probability, but it does not affect the computation.
Which Are the Right Expected Values?
Following the same procedure, we can calcualte the expected values for each of these.
Oops!. The three sets of expected values are different from each other. Which do we use for the 2X2X2 chi-square calculation?
In this cube, the front face corresponds to C=0 and the hidden face to C=1. The A values go horizontally and the B's vertically. The three different contingency tables are formed by cutting the cube in half and then pasting the halves together. These tables are different.
For instance, the front face and the back facee are each 2X2 contingency tables. The expected values for these can be determined just from the information on each face. We do not need the information along the C dimension for this calculation. Worse, we cannot even use this information -- so there is no way to ensure that the sums along the "C" dimension add up to the same values in the original data and for the expected values.
The problem is that the sums along each dimension overspecify the problem. A given value has three adjacent values along three dimensions. However, only two of the dimensions are needed to calcualte an expected value, assuming independence along those two dimensions. The information along the third dimension cannot be incorporated into the calculation.
The reason? Independence is a very strong condition. Remember, it says not only that the sums are the same but also that the ratios within each row (or column or layer) are the same. Normally, we might think "independent" variables are providing as much flexibility as possible. However, that is not the case. In fact, the original counts are the only ones that meet the all the conditions of independence at the level of every row, colum, and level.
When I think of this situation, I think of a paradox related to the random distribution of stars. We actually perceive a random distribution as more ordered. Check out this site for an example. Similarly, our intuition is that independence among variables is a weak condition. In fact, it can be quite a strong condition.
The next posting will explain how expected values work in three and more dimensions. For now, it is worth explaining that converting a three-dimensional problem into two dimensions is often feasible and reasonable. This is particularly true when one of the dimensions is a "response" characteristic and the rest are input dimensions. However, such a 2X2 table is really an approximation.
I don't think you intended this blog to be a chi-square help page but I have not been able to get an answer to the question below elsewhere so I hope that you can help. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.
A randomized-controlled trial (pre- and post- observations in both an intervention and control group). The outcome of interest is "ate peanut butter in the last week" (yes/no).
(1) there is no access to original data so any cell information has to be back calculated, if possible.
(this represents the cells across each row for the intervention group and then the cells across each row of the control group).
I have also tried backing into the cell values using a McNemar's table, but I don't know if that is accurate (and it requires equal sample sizes and doesn't compare between groups, just within).
Does the procedure differ depending on whether cohort or serial cross-sectional data are used (i.e., dependent vs. independent observations)?
How does one account for differing sample sizes in each group (or at different times of measurement).
Again, sorry to bombard you with questions. My internet research has been pretty fruitless thus far.
You wrote the book data analysis with SQL... do you recommend the Microsoft NN algorithm?
what you thinkl about MSFT NN maturity?
I am into Discretizing data using chi square test.
Is there any specific method to divide range of data into intervals???
is there any particular standards that the data range should be divided into these many number of intervals ???

New tenants for Brackley Town Hall
by Ingham Pinnock
Brackley Town Council has announced that Pierreponts café has been selected as the tenant for the ground floor commercial let and Mulberry Cottages as the management company for the self-catering accommodation in the attic space.
Photographs courtesy of Cheryl Torrington, one of the project volunteers
The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded the Town Hall Restoration Project a £2.2m grant in 2016 and since then the building has undergone a painstaking restoration which is now complete.
The ground floor space has been let to Pierreponts who currently run Pierreponts Café in Goring on Thames. Pierreponts café pride themselves on high-quality, locally sourced food and great customer service. It is hoped that the new café at the Town Hall will be open during the autumn once the internal fit out has been completed.
The self-catering apartment in the attic space is to be managed by Mulberry Cottages who manage holiday cottages across the south of England and specialize in providing a unique experience for visitors. The attic space has been transformed to provide a stunning self-catering let and will be available to book from early autumn.
This is fantastic news for the project and marks another major milestone on the journey to breathing new life and resilience into the much-loved Town Hall.
Steph Kingsland, Pierreponts café says "We're delighted to be opening here in Brackley, the re-furbished Town Hall is such a perfect fit for a Pierreponts café. The style of the building is wonderful and will make for a welcoming space for residents and visitors to the town alike. I'm especially excited at the opportunity to get involved in a place where I grew up and have so many happy memories from my childhood."
Rebekah England, Head of Property and Partnerships says "Mulberry Cottages are delighted to be marketing and holiday letting The Loft at Brackley Town Hall, on behalf of Brackley Town Council. A stay at The Loft in this iconic historic building is going to offer an unforgettable experience whether you are visiting for business, a holiday or even a wedding in the Town Hall below!"

Q: GoJS - Click event strange behaviour, "this" ends up being null I would like to update some list panels when my GoJS diagram is clicked. The click event fires everytime, but sometimes this ends up being null within the event, and I can't access the rest of my panel. Any ideas why this might be?
myDiagram.linkTemplate =
    $(Link,
    $(Shape,
        { strokeWidth: 1, stroke: "gray" },
    $(Shape, new Binding("fromArrow", "fa")),
    $(Shape, new Binding("toArrow", "ta")),

        click: (e: go.InputEvent, obj: go.GraphObject, ) => {
            console.log('[nav123] starting click');
            this.listPanelA.scrollToRow(obj['pb'].rowNumber);
            this.listPanelB.scrollToRow(obj['pb'].rowNumber);
        }
    });

Thanks!

A: Use the e and obj arguments instead of this, which is difficult to predict in JavaScript, because you do not know the context that calls the event.

Police Save Soldier From Suicide Leap at the Willard
From the Crazy Vault
Here's a crazy story for you from the 1940s. This was published in the Washington Post on June 4th, 1949.
A young Air Force private was grabbed from a ninth-floor ledge of the Willard Hotel yesterday by three policemen who had spent 25 minutes persuading him from plunging to death.
Paul J McDuff, 19, of Bolling Air Force Base, was snatched from death as he swayed outside an iron railing more than 110 feet above the crowded corner of 14th st. and Pennsylvania ave. nw. in Post Square.
Cheers surged from the throats of those who had watched the policemen crawl inch by inch to the target of a thousand eyes for 25 terrifying minutes.
The heroes are Pvts. Leonard M. Johnson who threw the life-saving strangle hold on McDuff; L.. A. Wallace, who kept up a stream of rapid-fire reasoning, and Kenneth Trundel, who dragged him to safety.
The work of the policemen and Johnson's final lunge at McDuff were termed by observers a miracle of coordination and split-second timing.
McDuff, knocked unconscious by the force of the blow which saved his life, was taken to Gallinger Hospital for observation.
He was confined in the locked psychiatric ward at Gallinger. He refused to answer questions and declined food. Though free to get out of bed and move around the ward, occupied by another mental patient, he remained in bed with his eyes closed most of the time.
McDuff crawled to the parapet through a ninth-floor window at the end of a short hall facing 14th street. He was not registered at the hotel.
On his hands and knees he crawled down the ledge until he reached the extreme edge of the corner racing the Capitol Dome. There he inched himself over the chest-high iro nrailing [sic] and stood high above the intersection holding to the fence with back-flung arms.
For a few minutes, pedestrians walked unconcerned up and down 14th st.; horns blew in the usual noise of the city.
Wallace stopped as soon he [sic] saw McDuff. Their eyes were approximately 15 feet aparts. McDuff's eyes were crazed with a mixture of fear and confusion, and in a shaking voice told the officers he would make the plunge if they came any closer.
And then Wallace started talking. With sweat sprouting from his brow he kept talking for 25 minutes.
His first words: "Hey, Mac, Let's talk it over. Come here a minute," and for the first 14 minutes the officers stood their distance. In these minutes, a life hung in the balance. A false move could have sent the soldier plummeting to his death, and yet an untaken move meant more minutes in which his life could be lost. In these minutes Wallace was sizing up his opponent.
McDuff standing on the ledge at the Willard (Washington Post)
This is where the writer sensationalizes the story a little … eh, a lot … to pump up the drama. Also, it's unclear how he was able to take down these words, verbatim.
His words, delivered with excitement, yet without panic, were taken down verbatim.
"Let's talk it over, Mac. We got a lot to talk about."
"There's no sense in jumping, Mac. Think of all the people you're going to hurt."
"Just talk it over with me for two minutes, that's all."
"Don't jump now, Mac. You've got your whole life to go."
"Where's you home, anyway, Bud? What's your name?"
"Hey, son, that's a long way down there. You've been in the Air Force. You know that's a long way down there. Hey, son, don't jump now. Take it easy."
"Hey, Joe, have you got a cigarette? I want one bad, and I'm damned it I didn't leave mine down there. Give me a cigarette, will you, Joe?"
Wallace wasn't waiting for McDuff to answer, and the soldier spoke rarely, and then only in low mumbles. Once or twice he told the officers not to come closer or he would jump. Wallace, who remembered nothing of his conversations, interpreted one of these mumbles to mean "troubles."
"You got troubles? Tell me your troubles, Mac. I got troubles. We all got 'em. You know that".
"Come over here. We'll see what's wrong."
At this point Wallace produced a bottle of whisky, which had come from the bar nine floors below."
"Hey, Joe. Do you drink? Here's a bottle. Let's have a little drink. Just you and me."
"What are your troubles, bud? Hey, what is your name anyway? Joe? It used to be Joe, when I was in the Army. Mac? Jim? Jack?"
During a pause in the monologue the officers ducked under one of the horizontal bars, perhaps two feet closer to McDuff. He said again he would jump if they came closer.
During the next few minutes, while maintaining a stream of conversatoin [sic], the officers ducked under successive bars until they were less than 10 feet and 2 bars from their man. There they waited.
Officers Wallace, Trundle and Johnson (Washington Post)
Even though you know what happens, isn't the suspense killing you? It's like reality television, but no where near as horrible as Jersey Shore.
"Don't you like the Army, Joe? We'll get you out of the Army. We guarantee it, if you just come over here."
"What would your mother think of you now," Wallace asked.
"Me, I got no mother, but if I had I wouldn't hurt her for anything in the world."
"Hey, I'll help you climb over that fence, son. Just come over here."
A siren screamed as the Fire Department rushed to the scene with a big ladder, and a pitifully small canvas life net.
"Turn 'em off, turn 'em off," an officer shouted on the ninth floor. "Those sirens will scare him into jumping."
Wallace resumed his conversation with an invitation.
"Hey, Mac, how about coming home to my house for a nice friend chicken dinner?"
Above McDuff, a hotel employe had started lowering a rope from the floor above, to lasso the man to safety.
On the 14th st. side, another officer was crawling, apparently unnoticed, toward him.
Beneath McDuff, the Fire Department prepared to raise the ladder.
For a split second the ladder held his attention.
In that split second Johnson acted.
From a low crouch to pass underneath the last horizontal bar, the officer leaped. With a lunge he wrapped his right arm around McDuff's neck, and bent the soldier back over the rail, to safety.
The crowd yelled, in relief and admiration, as the officers hauled McDuff through a window. He had been knocked unconscious by the force of Johnson's grab. on the floor of the Smith suite, McDuff lay rigid, sweat streaming from his flushed face.
It was later discovered that McDuff had been recently transferred to Bolling Field and was despondent due to a complete reversal of fortunes in his military career.
The policemen were subsequently hailed as heroes are presented with awards for valor at a luncheon in August, held (of course) at the Willard Hotel.

Harwell Campus, the Oxfordshire science and innovation hub, has revealed that its EnergyTec Cluster has grown by 17% since its launch in May 2018.
EnergyTec now comprises 35 industry, academic and public organisations working on the Campus, collectively employing around 900 people. A further 26 companies, which started off in Harwell's Space or HealthTec Clusters, now also focus on the energy sector as a major market for their innovative technologies.
With a focus on energy storage, battery technologies and carbon neutral alternatives to fossil fuels, the technologies emerging from these 61 organisations will influence every aspect of life across work, travel and recreation, improving the environment and developing sustainable alternatives for the future.
The announcement of the success of the EnergyTec Cluster was made at the Clean Growth and Infrastructure Innovation Conference taking place at Harwell today, where the UK's energy experts met to understand the opportunities for the UK's Energy sector arising from the government's £170m investment from the Industrial Clusters mission. Through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, the government is aiming to attract innovators, investors and problem solvers to create low-carbon exemplars that others in the UK can learn from and replicate.
Harwell Campus, which in total has 200 organisations employing 5,500 people, focuses on successfully commercialising scientific research and new technologies through clusters in the major markets of Space, Health and Energy. The EnergyTec Cluster counts multinational organisations including Siemens and EDF Energy among its cohort; consultants such as Ricardo Energy & Environment, and fast-growing start-ups such as Zap&Go and MIRICO. The Faraday Institution, which has received a £74m investment from the UK Government to accelerate battery technology in the UK, sits at the heart of the Cluster alongside open access facilities, the Diamond Lightsource and ISIS Neutron & Muon Source.
"Harwell Campus's uniqueness lies in its cross-industry collaboration," explained Dr Barbara Ghinelli, Cluster and Campus business development director at Harwell Campus for the UKRI Science and Technology Facilities Council.


At Generations Antiques and More, we have a bunch of our locals that come into the shop that ask us if we buy antiques. We will typically purchase an antique based on quality, condition, quantity and market demand for the item. There are many items that we pass up based on low demand, poor condition or just the lack of the "meeting of the minds".
Once in a while, we run across items that in our typical business plan, as we just described, does not work for! Those items might just be a good candidate for one of our Select Consignment Tags.
The owners of Generations Antiques will determine if an item is suitable for consignment in the shop. Typically, this item will be one that has at least a moderate market demand and has a high value compared to other similarly comparable items. Typically the item must be in mint condition, unless it is one of those old rusty rustic pieces that gets added value by the more rust it has!
How is the price determined and how long is the item at Generations?
The owners of Generations Antiques will determine the price of your item as determined via the local market. Items consigned are for a term of 60 days.
Yes, all items are discounted by 30% on the 45th day at the shop. Remember, Generations Antiques goal is to sell your item - not store it for 60 days and give it back to you. We will initially price it to sell within the first 44 days, if it does not sell, then it will be discounted for the remaining 16 days in order to get it sold.
When can I do a consignment and who with?
You can do a consignment anytime that one of the owners are in the shop. It is best to call ahead to find out the schedule so that you don't make a wasted trip.
Yes! Enclosed below is a copy of a contract for consigning items at our shop...it has all the details. Should you have any further questions, feel free to call the shop and ask for Todd or Lisa.
