Q: how do I use java applets with Firefox Can someone please show me how I can use/install a java applet I downloaded to work with my browser (firefox).
The applet is BNCApplet.java that I got from this link:
http://world.std.com/~reinhold/BigNumCalc.html
I have installed openjdk using:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

And tried to compile by:
javac BNCApplet.java

which gave me loads of error messages that mean nothing to me. Here it is:
javac BNCApplet1.java

BNCApplet1.java:51: error: class BigNumCalc is public, should be
declared in a file named BigNumCalc.java public class BigNumCalc
       ^ Note: BNCApplet1.java uses or overrides a deprecated API. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. Note:
BNCApplet1.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations. Note: Recompile
with -Xlint:unchecked for details. 1 error

I am sure this java program is bug-free and should work flawlessly. In any case should I be compiling this at all before I can use it as a plugin? And how do I use it as a plugin.
Update: I have also installed icedtea as suggested by Byte Commander:
sudo apt-get install icedtea-8-plugin

and checked it in firefox preferences and it is there and active.
When I File/Open the BNCApplet.java in firefox it simply offers to save the file!
I badly need a step-by-step insrtructions to install this applet.
Thanks

A: A .java file is a Java source code file, which is a plain text document. It is not executable.
To run it, you would have to install a JDK (Java Development Kit) like the openjdk-8-jdk package, if you don't have one already:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

After that, you can use the Java compiler javac to compile the source code BNCApplet.java file to a byte code .class file:
javac BNCApplet.java

After that, you can run the compiled BNCApplet.class file using the java command, but without the .class suffix:
java BNCApplet

I'm not 100% sure, but this way Applets should run in a separate Applet Viewer window. To be able to run Java Applets in your browser if you use an OpenJDK Java implementation, you need the additional IcedTea package that provides a browser plug-in for Firefox-like (NPAPI) browsers. Oracle Java already includes this plug-in.
To install the plug-in for OpenJDK 8, run:
sudo apt-get install icedtea-8-plugin

The IX Advisory Board adds Renee Montgomery
By Howard Megdal
Star basketball player and savior of America in 2020 adds her voice to our company's future plans
In my time covering women's sports, I've been privileged enough to get to know other people in this sphere who understand the stakes. Those who see covering the WNBA isn't just about basketball, or even about athletes, but about how the country views, reacts to and ultimately values women, and especially women of color. That work is vital, and those inequalities must be attacked in systemic ways.
So I am honored to welcome Renee Montgomery, who has utilized her platform to force this country to change on an almost unfathomable number of fronts, to our Advisory Board.
Renee gave up her livelihood in 2020 in pursuit of something bigger: she went out and saved our democracy. If that sounds improbable, you weren't seeing the same election I was. You weren't seeing what it means, what it continues to mean, that the vote in Georgia, the vote in this country, went the way it did.
Renee spoke up at a time that would have been difficult for anyone, with the part-owner of the Atlanta Dream, her last WNBA team, running to preserve the status quo. I hope I could publicly work for change with the eloquence and grace of a Renee Montgomery in a similar moment. But we don't have to hope with Renee. We watched her do it.
That work continues, and it means everything to me that my friend Renee understands why and how The IX, and our 24/7/365 newsroom The Next, are part of this same struggle for a more equal world. A world where women's sports are covered with the same fierce urgency as men's sports allows the audience to fully engage, to come to love, respect and value these athletes as the multi-dimensional people they are.
Elevating women's voices in our stories is the job. And training the next generation of journalists, while the diversity of our incredible group of writers and editors ensures that those who do this work both reflect America, and can fully tell the stories of women's sports, is central to our mission.
The IX means every day, across five different women's sports, our subscribers get a full picture, with context, of the landscape, a true women's sports media network. Breaking news, analysis, exclusive interviews and curated links of the great work being done around the world on Soccer Monday (Annie Peterson), Tennis Tuesday (Joey Dillon), Basketball Wednesday (Howard Megdal), Golf Thursday (Sarah Kellam) and Hockey Friday (Erica L. Ayala).
And at The Next, 24/7/365, our 30+ writers and editors are obsessively bringing you all there is to know on women's basketball on and off the court, never shying away from the vital work Renee and so many other women have done to change this country for the better in 2020.
100% of our revenue goes toward supporting those doing this work. When you join us, you help us pay for more of our time, to help us keep building. The goal is to make permanent the infrastructure that guarantees women's sports coverage for years to come, and that a pipeline of journalists dedicated to this work, who have gone on to bylines in virtually every major publication in the country — The New York Times, The Athletic, Sports Illustrated, Bleacher Report, major city newspapers and magazines — come with the knowledge and expertise to cover women's sports the way it deserves.
And subscriptions are how we are funded, so we are responsive only to you, the reader. You'll never have to wonder if we're prioritizing women's sports, because we only prioritize women's sports.
But that work, while we are all proud of it in 2020, has just begun. And adding Renee's voice to our Advisory Board, which already includes the incredible Megan Rose of USTA, Anya Packer of the NWHL and Julie Foudy of ESPN and the '99ers, among many other areas of American life, will serve as an intellectual, moral and emotional compass for the work ahead.
Welcome, Renee. We're honored to be in the fight with you.
And for those of you reading this: if this work matters to you, join us as well.

Making the Shift from Linear to CTV - What Should Advertisers Do?
New York – Tapad Inc., a marketing technology company, knows that in today's on-demand culture, it should come as no surprise that traditional TV as we know it is becoming a thing of the past. Viewers prefer to watch what they want, where they want it, and when they want it. TV programming no longer has all of the power. Now, with CTV, the power is in the hands of the viewer. However, like any major technology shift, this trend begs the question: if consumers are making the switch from linear to CTV, shouldn't advertisers?
According to video expert Paul Sluberski, VP, Video & CPG, Tapad, following the lead of CTV should be a no-brainer for advertisers looking to stay relevant in today's tech-driven world. The original TV-like experience is changing and the consumer journey is more than just servicing ads. Now, it is about leveraging data to deliver more creative, relatable, and accurate messaging per household. For advertisers, this means it's time to embrace CTV and learn its nuances in order to generate effective campaigns for the growing number of CTV users.
So how do advertisers get started with CTV? A good place to start is becoming familiar with its capabilities, knowing with CTV devices consumers are using, and knowing if that device supports formats like 4K. This can be daunting if you are new to the space, and often requires a partner familiar with building impactful consumer experiences on this platform.
To help you get a head start on CTV advertising strategies, listen to our full webinar, which covers how Tapad's CTV cross-device technology and Zype's content curation expertise helps advertisers and brands alike enhance the CTV experience for consumers and viewers. Zype and Tapad are ahead of the game - we're ready for 2018 and all things Connected TV…are you?
Find the right consumer regardless of device using the benefits of cross-device technology to understand the interests, passions and behaviors of the audiences that matter most to you.

M06–2X/6–311++G(2df,2pd)//M06–2X/6–31+G(d) computations were employed to investigate the intrinsic gas phase basicity of strained nitrogen heterocycles involving aziridine, azetidine, pyrrolidine and piperidine, together with their N-methyl and N-phenyl derivatives, NR(CH2)n (n = 2–5; R = H, Me and Ph). Basicity constants were compared with the corresponding acyclic counterparts, NR(CH3)2 (R = H, Me and Ph), and were, based on triadic analysis, resolved into contributions mirroring features of both initial base and the final protonated form as well as their interplay, thus offering quantitative insight into the obtained results. In general, the N-methyl derivatives provided strongest bases investigated here, and, within each group of molecules, the basicity increased on going from three- to six-membered rings, con-sistent with a decrease in ring strain, with four-membered systems already surpassing or coming close to the basicity of the acyclic gauge molecule. Calculated basicities were found in a very good agreement with available experimental data, except for N–methylazetidine, where a remarkable discrepancy was revealed, suggesting that this system should be experimentally reassessed and its gas-phase basicity parameters revised. Triadic analysis showed different behaviour of individual contributions governing basicities, both among and within distinct families of molecules. It also convincingly demonstrated that, if a proper and a quantitatively accurate interpretation of observed basicity trends is desired, one should not rely only on concepts such as localized reactive hybrid orbitals (RHO) or thus derived nitrogen electron-donating ability (T. Ohwada et al., J. Org. Chem. 69 (2004) 7486), which take into account only properties of the initial base in question, but rather consider protonation reaction in its entirety. (doi: 10.5562/cca2121)

McIlroy captures 20th US PGA title with win at Vegas
October 19 2021 12:01 AM

AFP/ Los Angeles
Rory McIlroy captured his 20th career US PGA Tour title on Sunday, firing a six-under par 66 to win the CJ Cup by one stroke over Collin Morikawa.
Disappointed by a poor performance at last month's Ryder Cup and his struggles after trying to match the long-distance driving of Bryson DeChambeau, the 32-year-old from Northern Ireland showed the form that made him a four-time major champion.
"For the last few months, I was trying to be someone else," McIlroy said. "I realise that being me is enough and that's enough to do things like this."
McIlroy rolled in an eagle putt from just inside 35 feet at the par-5 14th and parred the last four holes to finish on 25-under par 263 at the Summit Club in Las Vegas.
McIlroy said the sting of his Ryder Cup flop in Europe's record 19-9 loss inspired his improved play. "It was huge. It really was," McIlroy said.
"I was disappointed with how I played. I get more emotional thinking about that than about this (win)."
After his best round in two years with a 62 on Saturday, McIlroy followed with a near-perfect run to claim his 29th worldwide victory and become only the 39th player with 20 US PGA wins.
"It's quite an achievement," McIlroy said. "I still need a couple more years on tour to get that lifetime exemption but at least I've got the 20 wins. It's a great achievement."
Since World War II, only Vijay Singh and Gary Player have more US PGA victories than McIlroy among players from outside the United States.
Two-time major winner Morikawa, who finished with an eagle, was second on 264 after a closing 62 with fellow Americans Rickie Fowler and Keith Mitchell third on 266.
The event was moved from South Korea for a second consecutive year due to coronavirus pandemic travel issues.
McIlroy, ranked 14th, won his second title of the year, having snapped an 18-month win drought in May with his third career triumph at Quail Hollow, and first of the 2021-22 season.
"I've been close before to opening my season with a win," he said. "It's great. It feels really good, some validation of what I've done the last few weeks. Just keep moving forward."
Morikawa was pleased with his week despite settling for second.
"It has been an awesome start to the season," he said.
Fowler led by three early Sunday but could not match McIlroy's pace, shooting 71. World number 128 Fowler has not won since taking his fifth PGA title at the 2019 Phoenix Open.
"Obviously disappointed," Fowler said. "But this is a big step in the right direction from where I've been in the past couple years."
Fowler rolled in a 16-foot birdie putt at the par-4 ninth to share the lead at 22-under with McIlroy and Morikawa, but stumbled back with a three-putt bogey at the 10th. McIlroy drove the green at the par-4 12th and rolled in a four-foot birdie putt to seize the lead alone.
McIlroy found the rough at the par-5 14th and came up just short of the green but rolled the ball into the cup from just inside 35 feet for eagle to reach 25-under and lead by three.
Morikawa sank an eagle putt at the par-5 18th from just inside seven feet to pull within one, but McIlroy closed with four pars to seal the victory.
Fowler teed off with a two-stroke lead over McIlroy and dropped his approach inches from the cup to set up a birdie on the opening hole to lead by three.
But McIlroy sank an 11-foot birdie putt at the par-3 second and had a tap-in birdie at the par-5 third.
Fowler birdied the fourth but took a double bogey at the par-5 sixth while McIlroy birdied from just outside four feet to share the lead. McIlroy birdied the eighth to reach 22-under to match Morikawa's birdie at the par-3 11th and share the lead.

Wilhelm Franz Josef Beiglböck (* 10. Oktober 1905 in Hochneukirchen; † 22. November 1963 in Buxtehude) war ein österreichischer Internist. Als Verantwortlicher für die Durchführung der Meerwasserversuche im Konzentrationslager Dachau in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wurde er im Nürnberger Ärzteprozess verurteilt.

Leben
Beiglböck besuchte das Stiftsgymnasium Melk und studierte Medizin an der Universität Wien. Dort wurde er während seines Studiums 1923 bei der Wiener akademischen Burschenschaft Moldavia aktiv.
Er arbeitete nach seiner Approbation 1931 und seiner 1932 in Wien erfolgten Promotion ab 1933 zunächst als Assistent an der III. Medizinischen Universitätsklinik in Wien bei Franz Chvostek und anschließend in der I. Medizinischen Universitätsklinik bei Hans Eppinger junior.

Seit Oktober 1932, spätestens aber seit Mai 1933 war Beiglböck Mitglied der NSDAP und seit 1934 der nun illegalen SA, zuletzt im Rang eines Obersturmbannführers. Am 12. Dezember 1939 beantragte er die reguläre Aufnahme in die NSDAP und wurde rückwirkend zum 1. Mai 1938 aufgenommen (Mitgliedsnummer 6.385.650). 1939 habilitierte er sich und 1940 wurde er Oberarzt unter Hans Eppinger. Ab Mai 1941 arbeitete Beiglböck als Stabsarzt der Luftwaffe. 1944 wurde er außerplanmäßiger Professor an der Universität Wien.

Menschenversuche an KZ-Häftlingen
Im Mai 1944 wurde im Reichsluftfahrtministerium die Trinkbarkeit von Meerwasser erörtert, um künftig im Meer treibende Piloten der NS-Luftwaffe retten zu können. Da die dazu geplanten Menschenversuche qualvoll und lebensgefährlich sein würden, wurden KZ-Häftlinge als Versuchspersonen genommen. 40 Roma-Häftlinge aus dem KZ Buchenwald, die meisten von ihnen Sinti, wurden in das KZ Dachau transportiert. Geleitet wurden die Experimente von Hans Eppinger junior.

Die Opfer wurden in vier Gruppen eingeteilt, die entweder gar kein Wasser, reines Salzwasser, Salzwasser mit getarntem Süßwassergeschmack oder Salzwasser mit reduziertem Salzgehalt zu trinken bekamen. Da Meerwasser dem Organismus Flüssigkeit entzog, trocknete der Körper aus. Nieren, Darm und Leber versagten. Innerhalb weniger Tage krümmten sich die Opfer vor Krämpfen. Die Experimente führten zu extremem Durst, Krämpfen und Delirium. Die Versuchsplanung übernahm Hermann Becker-Freyseng, die Durchführung Beiglböck.

Zu den KZ-Häftlingen, die sich den Experimenten unterziehen mussten, zählen etwa die deutschen Sinti Jakob Bamberger, Karl Höllenreiner, Josef Laubinger und Ernst Mettbach.

Strafverfolgung und berufliche Rückkehr

Im November 1946 war Beiglböck auf Verlangen der US-Militärbehörden in Deutschland nach Nürnberg überstellt worden, wo er sich im Nürnberger Ärzteprozess 1946/47 wegen seiner im KZ Dachau durchgeführten Menschenversuche verantworten musste. Anfang 1947 leitete die Wiener Staatsanwaltschaft ein Verfahren gegen Beiglböck wegen Kriegsverbrechen, Misshandlung und Quälereien sowie Verletzung der Menschenwürde ein, das daraufhin im Oktober 1947 eingestellt wurde.

Im Nürnberger Ärzteprozess wurde er zu 15 Jahren Haft verurteilt. Sein Verteidiger war Gustav Steinbauer. Steinbauer hatte eine vollständige Liste der Probanden. Er weigerte sich, diese dem Gericht zur Verfügung zu stellen, einerseits weil er nicht Aufgaben der Anklagebehörde übernehmen wolle, andererseits, da es sich bei "Zigeunern" um  Während der Gerichtsverhandlung im Schwurgerichtssaal gelang es dem Zeugen Karl Höllenreiner, der als KZ-Häftling während seiner Zeit in Dachau von Beiglböck für Menschenversuche misshandelt wurde, mit einem gewaltigen Satz über die Barriere der Anklagebank zu springen und den Angeklagten Beiglböck mit seiner Faust ins Gesicht zu schlagen. Höllenreiner rief dabei: Dieser Lump hat mein Leben ruiniert!

Nachdem das Urteil auf 10 Jahre herabgesetzt worden war, wurde Beiglböck am 15. Dezember 1951 begnadigt und aus dem Landsberger Gefängnis entlassen. Dem war vorausgegangen, dass der US-amerikanische Hohe Kommissar John J. McCloy am 31. Januar 1951 bereits 89 wegen Kriegsverbrechen und Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit verurteilte deutsche Straftäter begnadigt hatte.

Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Innere Medizin hatte sich massiv für eine Rehabilitierung Beiglböcks eingesetzt. Eine von ihr eingesetzte Gutachter-Kommission, der Curt Oehme, Ludwig Heilmeyer und Rudolf Schoen angehörten, war zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass "in der Art der Auswahl und der Gewinnung von Versuchspersonen Fehler begangen worden seien und in der Wahl eines Konzentrationslagers als Versuchsort, dass diese Fehler aber keine Verbrechen gewesen seien."

Da Beiglböcks Approbation nicht annulliert worden war, konnte er weiterhin als Arzt tätig sein. Nach der Haftentlassung 1951 arbeitete er zunächst bei Ludwig Heilmeyer in Freiburg. Auf dessen Vermittlung hin wurde er 1952 Leitender Arzt der Inneren Abteilung des Krankenhauses in Buxtehude.

Am 12. Januar 1960 wurde ein Ermittlungsverfahren der Staatsanwaltschaft Bückeburg wegen Mordes gegen Beiglböck eingestellt. Unter dem Aktenzeichen AR 569/59 ist der Schriftwechsel der Ermittlungen (1959–1962) der Zentralen Stelle der Landesjustizverwaltungen gegen Beiglböck erhalten.

1962 stieß die Einladung der Österreichischen Ärztekammer an Beiglböck zu einem medizinischen Vortrag in Wien auf Widerspruch in den Medien. Unter anderem protestierte auch die Wiener israelitische Kultusgemeinde. Beiglböck wurde ausgeladen. Der Verwaltungsausschuss der Stadt Buxtehude, der für die Einstellung Beiglböcks zuständig war, unterstützte den Arzt und erklärte ihn für schuldlos an den Verbrechen, deretwegen er in einem ordentlichen Verfahren verurteilt worden war.

Er versuchte zeitlebens, sich für die in Dachau begangenen Taten zu rechtfertigen. Er starb 1963 in Buxtehude unter ungeklärten Umständen.

Sonstiges
Er war mit der Ärztin Margarete Cäcilie Marianne geb. Orthner (1914–1976) verheiratet. Der mathematische Physiker Wolf Beiglböck ist sein Sohn.

Afenifere, the Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, has called for the removal of all the service chiefs following the killing of over 100 Nigerian soldiers in Metele, Borno State, by the Islamic sect, Boko Haram.
Afenifere made the position known on Tuesday in a communique it issued after its monthly meeting held at the house of its leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
Yinka Odunmakin, Publicity Secretary, who read the communique, also demanded the probe of what happened to the funds the Federal Government claimed it had expended on security in the country since the beginning of the current administration.
Odumakin said the service chiefs were already in their retirement years, and wondered why they were still being kept in service by President Muhammdu Buhari.
He said the decision to keep them in service had killed morale in the Armed Forces, as three sets of officers had had their careers stagnated.
Afenifere noted that the massacre of the soldiers deployed to the north-east region to counter terrorism raises more concerns about the state of the Armed Forces and its combat readiness.
According to the group, despite the $1bn that the Federal Government claimed it disbursed few months ago to equip the military, Boko Haram still attacks soldiers freely.
It decried the consistent media propaganda being deployed by the Federal Government in the war against the insurgency and the insensitivity to the plight of soldiers on the battlefield.
"First, it kept quiet for six days after the incident and when it found its voice, there were no soothing words for the bereaved families," the group said.
"It had hardly made the bland statements before descending into the gutter of political quarrelling over the killings at a time a more sensitive leadership should have declared national mourning for the high casualties recorded which many countries never matched in wars that lasted for several years.

LONDON, 2 April 2021: Race Marketing & Management (RMM), promoter of the World Parkour Championship, is pleased to announce that the opening round of the 2021 season will be held in Istanbul on May 21-23.
The news sees the world's leading international Parkour series returning to Turkey following the success of a round of the championship in Mardin in 2018.
The first round of the season is supported by the Turkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA) and its ongoing 'Go Türkiye' campaign. "We are delighted to be opening the season in Turkey thanks to the tremendous support we have received from all parties, not least the TGA" said RMM managing director Selim Kemahli.

Q: Oracle SQL - update 2 columns in row with the oldest date I am attempting to update 2 columns in a row.  The row that should be updated is the row that has the oldest duedate
The table chorecompletion is described as:
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
 CHOREID                                   NOT NULL NUMBER(38)
 GROUPID                                   NOT NULL NUMBER(38)
 DUEDATE                                   NOT NULL DATE
 COMPLETEDDATE                                      DATE
 COMPLETEDBY                                        NUMBER(38)

This query returns the row that I want to update
select *
from
(
        select choreid, duedate, row_number()
        over (partition by choreid order by duedate) as rn
        from chorecompletion where choreid = 12 and groupid = 6
)
where rn = 1;

Where I could use some help  is how to use this query in my update statement, specifically my where clause
my current attempt:
update chorecompletion
set completeddate = sysdate, completedby=1
where --How to get the result of the previous query here?

Any help on my logic would be hugely appreciated.
Example desired result:
Before Update:
CHOREID      GROUPID    DUEDATE     COMPLETEDDATE      COMPLETEDBY
-------------------------------------------------------------------
  12          6        2018-11-1
  12          6        2018-10-1

After Update
CHOREID      GROUPID    DUEDATE     COMPLETEDDATE      COMPLETEDBY
-------------------------------------------------------------------
  12          6        2018-11-1
  12          6        2018-10-1      2018-09-30            1

A: Something like this?
SQL> create table test
  2  (choreid number,
  3   groupid number,
  4   duedate date,
  5   completeddate date,
  6   completedby number
  7  );

Table created.

SQL> insert into test
  2    select 12, 6, date '2018-01-11', null, null from dual union all
  3    select 12, 6, date '2018-01-10', null, null from dual;

2 rows created.

SQL> update test t set
  2    t.completeddate = sysdate,
  3    t.completedby = 1
  4  where t.duedate = (select min(t1.duedate)
  5                     from test t1
  6                     where t1.choreid = t.choreid
  7                       and t1.groupid = t.groupid)
  8    and t.choreid = 12
  9    and t.groupid = 6;

1 row updated.

SQL> select * From test;

   CHOREID    GROUPID DUEDATE    COMPLETEDD COMPLETEDBY
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -----------
        12          6 2018-01-11
        12          6 2018-01-10 2018-09-30           1

SQL>

A: You can use a MERGE statement and can join on the ROWID pseudo-column so that you can correlated directly to the matched row:
SQL Fiddle
Oracle 11g R2 Schema Setup:
CREATE TABLE chorecompletion ( choreid, groupid, duedate, completeddate, completedby ) AS
  SELECT 12, 6, DATE '2018-09-29', CAST( null AS DATE ), CAST( null AS NUMBER ) FROM DUAL UNION ALL
  SELECT 12, 6, DATE '2018-09-30', null, null FROM DUAL;

Query 1:
MERGE INTO chorecompletion dst
USING (
  SELECT ROWID AS rid
  FROM   (
    SELECT *
    FROM   chorecompletion
    WHERE  choreid = 12
    AND    groupid = 6
    ORDER BY duedate ASC
  )
  WHERE ROWNUM = 1
) src
ON ( src.RID = dst.ROWID )
WHEN MATCHED THEN
  UPDATE
  SET completeddate = sysdate,
      completedby   = 1

Results:
1 Row Updated.

Query 2:
SELECT * FROM chorecompletion

Results:
| CHOREID | GROUPID |              DUEDATE |        COMPLETEDDATE | COMPLETEDBY |
|---------|---------|----------------------|----------------------|-------------|
|      12 |       6 | 2018-09-29T00:00:00Z | 2018-09-30T18:42:45Z |           1 |
|      12 |       6 | 2018-09-30T00:00:00Z |               (null) |      (null) |

Query 3: You could also use an UPDATE statement with the ROWID pseudo-column:
UPDATE chorecompletion dst
SET    completeddate = sysdate,
       completedby   = 2
WHERE  ROWID = (
  SELECT ROWID
  FROM   (
    SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY choreid ORDER BY duedate ) rn
    FROM   chorecompletion
    WHERE  choreid = 12
    AND    groupid = 6
    ORDER BY duedate ASC
  )
  WHERE rn = 1
)

Results:
1 Row Updated.

Query 4:
SELECT * FROM chorecompletion

Results:
| CHOREID | GROUPID |              DUEDATE |        COMPLETEDDATE | COMPLETEDBY |
|---------|---------|----------------------|----------------------|-------------|
|      12 |       6 | 2018-09-29T00:00:00Z | 2018-09-30T18:42:45Z |           2 |
|      12 |       6 | 2018-09-30T00:00:00Z |               (null) |      (null) |

A: You can use a correlated subquery.  If I understand correctly:
update chorecompletion
    set completeddate = (select min(duedate)
                         from chorecompletion cc
                         where cc.choreid = chorecompletion.coreid
                        )
    where choreid = 12 and groupid = 6

NEWPORT BEACH — On Oct. 17 American Legion Yacht Club hosted the 26th Sailing Day for the Visually Impaired. The Women's Sailing Association—Orange County (WSA-OC) sponsored 159 guests to attend the event hosted by the American Legion Yacht Club and Post 291 Family.
Nine of the guests were accompanied by their guide dogs. Every other day the dogs are working around the clock, but on this particular day they enjoyed a day of fun just like their owners. They were able to play with other guide dogs and romp in a pool while their masters were busy sailing boats all over Newport Harbor.
The day started with breakfast prepared by club members, followed by four hours of cruising in one of 47 sailboats provided by members of half a dozen yacht clubs. Lunch was served back at the Legion Post.


This kittel explores the mother as dressmaker. In clothing her children she is providing not just physical protection, but the garment becomes a manifestation of her nurturing and care. Even when she is absent.
In the Tanach, Hannah says goodbye to Shmuel and leaves him at the Mishkan with an 'ephod' a white linen garment. According to the midrash this garment grew as the boy grew older, keeping him constantly connected to the mother who prayed so desperately for a child. Rivka dresses her favourite son Ya'acov to prepare him to take the first-born blessing, an act that results in his leaving, and her never seeing him again. And when Adam and Chava leave Gan Eden, God, acting as a mother, clothes them to face the world, protecting them from the elements.
I was reminded of these stories at a recent exhibition 'Threads of Feeling,': The London Foundling Hospital's Textile Tokens 1740-1770. When mothers left babies at London's Foundling Hospital in the mid-eighteenth century the Hospital often retained a small token as a means of identification, usually a piece of fabric taken from the mother's clothing. Each scrap of material reflects the life and of a single child and their bond to its absent mother. Some of these textile pieces have been fashioned into rosettes, or babies' clothing, others are ribbons, some embroidered with names and tokens of love and wishes for a good life.
In every culture mothers, and grandmothers, express their basic wish for their precious child's life to be protected by using amulets, often attached to the child's clothing or bedding. My great-grandmother would sew a red ribbon into clothing to keep away the evil eye. When my daughters were born, my grandmother gave me a long piece of ribbon so that I could do the same.
This kittel has embroidered in red the outline of a child's dress pattern. Showing how the mother's garment can be transformed into the child's. This merging of the mother into the child also is shown by the soft styling of the child-like peter-pan collar.
Hanging around the collar is a tape-measure embroidered with the phrase "how much does mummy love you..." Mothers say this out of wonder and awe at the amount of love they have to give. But children can hear it differently, and begin to question - "how much exactly does mummy love me? what are the limits to this love?" and test the boundaries.
Dressmaking has been part of my family's story. My great-grandmother was a professional dressmaker. She died before I was born but I heard many stories and evocative descriptions of what she used to make, her abilities and talent. My grandmother never formally taught me to sew or knit, but she would cast an inspecting eye over my work, raise an eyebrow and describe the type of finish that I should aspire to. She gave me all her old sewing materials, half-finished embroidery pieces, and for years I used her 1940's Singer sewing machine. She died a few years ago but I still have her voice in my head as I work, especially when paying meticulous attention to detail, mindful that I have these women's standards to live up to.

Best Firewood: Heat Values and Wood-Burning Tips
What is the Best Firewood to Burn?
Do you use firewood to heat your home? Here is a list of the best types of firewood to burn—sorted by high, medium, and low heat value—as well as a few important wood-burning tips.
What Makes for Good Firewood?
What makes some types of firewood better for burning than others? It comes down to two factors: density and water content. The denser and drier the firewood, the better it will burn and the more heat it can produce.
Hardwood vs. Softwood
Because of its density and its comparatively low levels of sap or pitch, hardwoods generally make for better firewood than softwoods.
Kinds of Woods
Fruit trees (Apple, Cherry)
Oak Cedar
Tamarack (Larch)
Best Firewoods by Heat Value
Not all hardwoods or softwoods are created equal; some burn far better than others, or simply produce more heat. Below are some of the best firewoods rated by their heat value, which is a measure of how much heat they put off.
High Heat Value
1 cord = 200 to 250 gallons of fuel oil
Medium Heat Value
Silver maple
Low Heat Value
Lodgepole pine
Red alder
Firewood-Burning Tips
How much wood is in a cord? The cord is the standard measure of volume used for stacked wood. The volume of one cord of wood is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood. Generally, a cord is laid out in stacks that measure 4 feet wide, 4 feet tall, and 8 feet long (4' x 4' x 8') in total. Due to air space between the stacked wood, the volume of solid wood in a cord may be only 70 to 90 cubic feet.
What is a "rick" or "face cord" of wood? Usually, a cord is made up of a few stacks of wood. One stack of a cord is called a "rick" or a "face cord." Generally, a rick is 4 feet tall by 8 feet long, and the width of a rick will depend on the length of the individual pieces of firewood. Because of this variability in width, a rick could be equal to ¼ of a cord, ½ a cord, or more.
What is heat value? Heat value refers to the amount of heat a wood produced when burned. Heat value varies based on the type of wood: A cord of wood with "high heat value" provides the heat equivalent to that produced by burning 200 to 250 gallons of heating oil. Other heat values are listed above.
Cutting wood: Freshly cut wood contains up to 50 percent moisture and must be seasoned (dried) to 20 to 25 percent moisture content before burning. Wood containing more than 25 percent moisture is wet, or green, and should never be burned in a fireplace or wood stove.
Splitting wood: Wet wood is easier to split than dry wood. Wood must be split into pieces and stacked out of the rain for at least six months to season properly.
Seasoning firewood: If steam bubbles and hisses out of the end grain as the firewood heats up on the fire, the wood is wet, or green, and needs to be seasoned longer before burning. Well-seasoned firewood generally has darkened ends with visible cracks or splits. It is relatively lightweight and makes a sharp, distinctive "clink" when two pieces strike each other.
Burning pine: Limit the amount of pine you burn. It's a resinous softwood.
Buy local: Only buy firewood from local sources. Buying and moving firewood from elsewhere (especially from state to state) is not only frowned upon, it may also be illegal. Transporting firewood from one place to another increases the chance of spreading invasive pests and diseases. Learn more this issue here.

great place to have a wedding. Not too fussy, lots of fun. It was a perfect "destination" wedding without anyone having to travel too far from home.
The Bronx Zoo is by far the best wedding venue in NYC. First the place is beautiful. My guests were stunned by the architecture and beauty of the zoo. But above all the staff at the zoo is amazing. From the first phone call with Priscilla to the post-wedding follow up with Crystal we were in good hands. The staff was so friendly and attentive to my guests the evening of the wedding. The food is amazing. We chose a buffet and everything was hot and the lines moved quickly. The bar service was exceptional and we even had a cigar bar outside. Thank you to the staff at the Bronx Zoo for such a wonderful day!
I had the pleasure of getting married at the Bronx Zoo. What an amazing experience. We feel in love with the zoo from the start. It was our dream venue. Unique, beautiful, romantic and just perfect. Thank you to all the staff at the zoo for everything you did to create the perfect day for us. Our guests continue to compliment the great food and staff. Special thanks to Ceri and Pricilla. They are amazing! I can't say enough about what a great venue this is. Wow your guests and get married at the zoo. We're so happy we did!
We love working with the Bronx Zoo. They offer well done events in a unique setting. They have great professionals running thier venue.


A favorite corn salad perfect for summer. Here's how it goes down. Five ears of corn, shaved in quick fashion, then sautéed in a bit of butter, or olive oil. I tricked it out with thyme, red onions, toasted almonds and coconut. Simple. Delicious.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, sprinkle with a couple pinches of salt and stir well, you want all the corn to be coated. Cook for just a minute, until the corn looses its raw edge, stir in half the thyme, and then transfer the corn to a large serving bowl.
Just before you're ready to serve, add most of the coconut flakes, most of the almonds, the rest of the thyme, red onions, and citrus juice. Stir well. Taste, season with more salt, to taste, and serve topped with the remaining coconut and almonds (and another jolt of juice if needed!).

OHSAA Playoff ticket change.
Thread starter firewatch
OHSAA new ticket policy for Rounds 2, 3, and 4
For this year's OHSAA football playoff games for weeks 2, 3 and 4 the participating schools will not be provided tickets for presale. Tickets will be sold exclusively on-line at the OHSAA website (www.ohsaa.org/tickets) and not at the participating schools. The participating schools schools will receive $1 for each ticket sold online.
Tickets will be sold at the gate the day of the game but schools do not receive a percentage of those ticket sales.
For week 1 and the State Championship game, the participating schools will be provided tickets for presale as in prior years.

I'm confused on why this is an issue. This gives people a chance to buy pre sale tickets if that can't make it up to the school, and then if people want to buy tickets from the school to give a portion of the money to the school they still are.
also not sure why it would drive down attendance in 2-4 round games
Just.here said:
The schools don't have any tickets for pre-sale. Everything is through the OHSAA WEBSITE. A lot of people won't buy tickets online. And they damn sure aren't going to stand in line at the ticket booth at the stadiums.
Plus some schools offer playoff tickets to parents of players, band and cheerleaders before the public sale. That is gone after this week.
Reactions: JJBulldog
But now everyone can just buy them online. How is online more difficult?
Reactions: ichs2019
For one thing each ticket adds a handling fee of $1.51. That makes them more expensive than at the gate.

A large portion of our fan base is older people and I would bet my last dollar most don't even own a computer let alone have the capability to buy and pay for tickets on line and I would bet we are not alone.
Watch attendance plummet

Smart move. There have been several times where I've wanted to attend D1 games here in Cincy but had no interest in traveling to a school I had no affiliation with and trying to find where the tickets were sold. The also keeps the schools safer.

Ha. Nothing will keep those older folks from going to their schools' games, God bless 'em.

I'm not sure how the tickets are delivered (printed etc.) but if it's that big of an issue I'd allow fans to be able to purchase them online in the school. Maybe have a current football player who's in study hall to help too
Reactions: Kballer
80% of Americans shop online so this is a ridiculous statement. For the few people who can't, they can certainly ask someone to buy them or just get to the game 90mins early and get a ticket at the gate.

Why couldn't they do both?
Offer the convenience of buying online and still send an allotment of tickets to the schools to distribute how they feel is appropriate.
So what happens to a "hot" ticket? Does the school get to decide that their season ticket holders get first dibs? Football players parents? Cheerleader and band parents?
A school is just out of luck if they don't get the information to their fans but the other team goes out and buys up all available tickets? Don't laugh at this one, some schools are terrible at communication.
Personally, I like the added option of selling online. I do not like the idea of getting rid of one of the option of buying at the school. Guaranteed there will still be large numbers of people going to the schools to try and buy tickets.

This was my thought as well. By and large online sales will be helpful, I'm actually annoyed that the game I want to go to this week isn't one of the games with it available. I assume the people screaming from their dinosaurs about it will be few and far between.
But it does seem dumb/typical OHSAA money grab to run it exclusively that way. At least give the schools a percentage of the capacity each to sell the old fashioned presale way.
lets do an example
Say 2 schools are playing each other (obviously)
1 school has a huge fan base, the other, not so much
School 1 sells out of their physical presale and the online presale sells out as well
School 2 has a plethora of presale tickets left over.
Now have left over tickets and no real way to sell them. Do all of school 1's fans who couldn't get a ticket have to drive an hour there and back just to find out the game sold out of the left over tickets at the gate?
If it's all online then when it sells out it sells out
I love cheeseburgers
What's up with the service fee per ticket ? Who gets that money? That seems like a underhanded way to increase the price to loyal fans. I think that is wrong.
Reactions: EHS 2001, Yappi, USA70PP and 1 other person

The OHSAA isn't doing anyone any favors. The cost of purchasing and shipping the ticket rolls to the participating teams is a logistical feat that the ohsaa is doing away with. Instead, they're going to charge you what it cost them before "for the convenience" of buying online.
Even though an online system would be incredibly cheaper than manually sending tickets to every participating school.
And yes, the elderly are going to be the ones taking it the worst. I know the NFL switched over to all electronic tickets this season and one couple told me they had to buy a new phone just so they could still use their season tickets because they never had a smart phone before. Now that was a dedicated season ticket holder. How likely is a single game here or there fan going to take to it? Maybe just give up because it's not worth the hassle?

Stand in line then. People cry about the dumbest things. It's 2019.
Reactions: ringer2 and Struthersfan
What a joke..OHSAA is. Let's make it more difficult to the average fan to get a ticket. What if your computer is down, being repaired, don't have internet access or just plain don't want to order on line. If it ain't broke dont fix it!! Guess that doesn't apply to this organization. Dumb move!!

This doesn't take a credit card? How do kids without cards purchase?
I agree with the why not do both? It can't cost that much to ship tickets to a school. Certainly not $1.50 per. I'm missing the point of the exclusivity.

Maybe they should let people go to their school and order their presale tickets through the school. They would pay the school whatever the school is charged at the spot and then they'd print out the ticket at the spot. This way its still all online but people can still go to the school and get their tickets without an online transaction personally.

But don't a lot of schools hock playoff shirts and other merchandise when fans show up to buy their presale tickets? If the fans can just 'stay at home', it does lose a bit of the captive audience who would in the moment plunk down $10-$20 for a shirt, or two.
Mr. Slippery
I'm guessing another reason for the change is ADs/ticket managers got tired of having to fill out the paperwork and figure out the accounting for their allotment of presale tickets, and the OHSAA is equally tired of having to sift through that paperwork to make sure that the proper amount of money was turned over to them.
At the end of the day in this arrangement, fans save about 50 cents per presale ticket (when factoring in the processing fee) in order to have $1 per ticket go to their school vs. the cost of buying at the gate and having $0 go to their school.
Sykotyk said:
I've never seen that in person. But I have seen shirts being sold at the gate when people buy their tickets.
USA70PP
For years I have gone to the school to get the presale tickets. If Pleasant wasn't in the playoffs I'd go to North Union and last year to Northmor as well as Pleasant. I would also buy one for the AD to give to a kid that maybe couldn't afford it so that they could go to the game. Comes to an end after round one now.
thavoice
This wont make fans not show up.
Personally I have never seen that. Our presale tickets were always at a local gas station up until the state finals and then it was at the school and the AD dept.

Custom «Bill Gates and His Effect on Microsoft » Essay Paper essay
Bill Gates remains the greatest icon and powerful figure that every young man would want to emulate, every reporter would want to interview. He is one of the most significant persons in the world. He is cofounder of one of the most renowned trademarks in the computer industry with virtually every desk top computer using at least one software program from his company. Bill Gates was born in 1955 at Seattle, Washington by William H. and Mary Maxwell Gates. His father was a prominent attorney and his mother was a teacher at University of Washington regent, and chairwoman of United Way International. The family was upper class and the parents intended him to pursue law. He was enrolled at a preparatory school called Lakeside School.
Gates started programing while he was in the eighth grade when the Mothers club at Lakeside bought the students an ASR- 33 teletype terminal and a block of computer time on a General Electric (GE). Interestingly Gates was exempted from mathematics classes so as he could pursue programming. He programmed the GE system in BASIC. In 1973 Gate graduated and scored 1590 points in SAT out of a possible 1600 and later enrolled at Harvard College in the same year. While in Harvard Gates together with Paul Allen got a chance to start their own software company. Gates parents backed him so much seeing the desire he had in starting his own company and the considerable amount of time he took in computers. Gate did not see the completion of his college education as he quit college to partner with Paul Allen to form Microsoft.

Gates is married to Melinda gates and they have three children. He was publicly acknowledged a billionaire in the magazine Forbes' 400 Richest People in America issue. Since then he has severally been featured as one of the world richest individual and often as the richest man. Gates' affluence momentarily exceeded $101 billion, initiating the media to call him a "cent-billionaire". Aside from being one of the world richest persons and a business's man Gates has considerable interest in charity. This has initiated the inception of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which has a benefaction of not less than $28 billion, with donations accumulation more than $1 billion every single year.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was formed in 2000 with an aim of bringing health and educational innovations to the global community, after assimilation of the "Gates Learning Foundation" and "William H. Gates Foundation". For instance in the July of 2000 John Hopkins University received a five-year, $20 million endowment to study whether or not low-priced vitamin and mineral pills can assist protect lives in unfortunate nations. Harvard University's School of Public Health in November 2000 stated it had received $25 million from the foundation to study AIDS prevention in Nigeria. The foundation has donated more than $800 million to charities.
Gates stepped down in 2008 June as the CEO and from day to day activities of Microsoft so as to have more time for Bill and Melinda Gates foundation though he still remain the chairman of Microsoft. With yearly income of more than $32 billion, Microsoft Corporation is superbly more the than the biggest software establishment in the sphere. The corporation's fundamental commerce is centered on developing, manufacturing, and licensing software products, comprising operating systems, server applications, commerce and consumer applications, and application development tools, as well as Internet applications, technologies, and facilities.
Under the steering of Bill Gates Microsoft has flourished in inserting at least one of its products on practically every personal computer in the world, setting industry ideals and defining markets in the course. Microsoft inception was a result of a partnership between Gates and Allen, in which they were to distribute the Altair BASIC interpreter for MITS (Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems) the creators of microcomputers. The trademark originally was coined to mean microcomputers software. It was legally registered with the Office of the secretary of state of New Mexico in November 26, 1976 and had its first offices located in Albuquerque. Later in 1976 Microsoft became a separate entity from the MITS and advanced its quest for developing programming language applications for a variety of systems. Quite strikingly during its early years Gates wrote the codes and oversaw the company's business details, he also reviewed the codes that the company produced and even revised the codes.
The International Business Machine partnered with Microsoft in 1980 to write the Basic interpreter for the IBM personal computer. At this period Microsoft struck a deal with Seattle Computer Products (SCP) to become the exclusive licensee of the operating system 86-DOS which was later acquired by Microsoft and sold to IBM as PC-DOS. Microsoft took new grounds in computer technology and was restructured in June 25, 1981, Bill Gates as the President and Chairman and Paul Allen as the Vice President. There were more than 128 employees by then and total revenue of $16million. Later in 1983 Allen resigned as the vice president after diagnosis with an illness though he remained in the board of directors
In 1983 Microsoft introduced a word processing program, Word 1.0, in an effort to supersede WordStar. It was less expensive and more users customized. However, it did not blend into the market as expected as it surpassed by WordPerfect. The release of Word version 3.0 in 1986 was successful at which point the application became Microsoft's best-seller. Initially, Microsoft was not successful in its products but ultimately developed to dominate. During the development of Apple's Macintosh computer Microsoft worked closely with the Apple Company, which was introduced in 1984. Innovatory in its strategy, the Mac contained a graphical user interface built on icons rather than the typed instructions used by the IBM PC, thus its programs were simple to use and easy to learn.
Persuaded that the Mac's graphical user interface epitomized the imminent of end-user applications, Gates pursued to create an interface manager to work on top of MS-DOS that would convert the operating system to a graphical model that would be user-friendly and provide a single method for interacting with the many non-standardized programs designed to run on the system. He lobbied with computer manufacturers such as Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, Texas Instruments, Digital Equipment Corporation, and others who declared their support for the project, called Microsoft Windows, which was released in 1985. For the first time in 1986 the Microsoft stock went public each share selling at $21. In 1987, the company's first CD-ROM application was released. The company introduced its Windows NT in1993 and in 2001 it Microsoft Windows XP and many more software that are more complicated and user friendly continues to dominate the market.
Windows Server 2003 release is one of the leading software development project in the company's history to date that has backed the company's growth. Windows Server 2003 was more consistent, more convenient, and more cooperative piece of software. It was also more secure and tighter, particularly owing to a recently constructed IIS (Internet Information Server) Web Server. In the year 2004 the company was with more than 56,000 personnel and projected year-end incomes of up to $38 billion, Microsoft persists to hold a solid central in the computer software industry. With a prominence on unceasing innovation--including such business products as the BizTalk Server 2004--further success appeared safeguarded. Currently Microsoft has become largely successful with annual revenue of over US$ 60.42 billion and over 90,000 employees, it has become a multinational company with branches in over 105 nations. Microsoft holds 90 per cent of the market dominance and has careful strategy of averting opponents from accomplishing product to the market.
The Microsoft business and product strategy has been Gates chief responsibility starting from its inception in1975 until 2006. Gates had an eye for detail and he aggressively expanded the variety of products that the company dealt with in addition he assertively defended any grounds that the company dominated. It's also recorded that he was distant and unfriendly towards other people and has even been named as being notorious since he did not maintain any contacts. He frequently held meetings with senior managers and program managers in the company. He is accounted to be a tough boss, whom you really have to dig deep to please at the same time and earnestly defending your proposals and projects until he is fully convinced. He did not tolerate procrastination and has been quoted sarcastically saying "I will do that over the weekend" Gates' part at Microsoft was primarily an administration and executive role. Nevertheless, he was a dynamic software developer in the early years of Microsoft.
Bill Gates was able to efficaciously take the company into its bearing through his leadership style and management practice which are exceptional and legendary. He is a firm believer in control which is so much evident in his management strategy. He is fanatical with detail and follow-through. He holds that managers must be assessed and appraised in relation of their individual impact on the organization. Therefore he expected each one of them to act on their own as little CEOs in their capacity and department, thereby accountable, independent and innovative. Additionally he dealt with subordinates the same manner he dealt with his management team too unfortunate for him he knew no other way to deal with them. Unlike many subtle CEOs Gates rewarded his personnel quite heavily just as he would reward himself. He was a firm believer in financial incentives.

Janelle Monáe says she was 'terrified' to come out as queer

Janelle Monáe has revealed that she was "terrified" over what others would think of her after coming out as pansexual.
The 33-year-old singer spoke about her sexuality for the first time in an interview with Rolling Stone last April.
In a cover story for LGBT+ community-driven magazine them, Monáe said she was "terrified" and worried people would think it was a publicity stunt.
"I had anxiety. And a lot of it was just untrue," the singer explained to rapper Lizzo in the interview for them. "I'm thankful that I didn't allow that fear to get in the way of my freedom."
While speaking about her new album, Dirty Computer, Monáe noted that being a black woman can often make coming out even more difficult.
"To be young, queer, and black in America means that you can be misunderstood," she said. "I just hope we can get to a point where black women who don't identify as strictly heterosexual are normalised."
Janelle Monae's small town upbringing
Monáe said she felt upbringing in Kansas played a part in her difficulties coming out.
"I grew up there, in a very small town, and I went to a Baptist church; to be anything other than heterosexual is a sin in that community, and growing up, I was always told I'd go to hell if I was," she explained.
"I think that by being the example, we make it a little easier for kids to be able to talk to their loved ones about it."
— Janelle Monáe
But after speaking to a therapist Monáe was able to talk about her feelings regarding her sexuality and "what it meant to identify as bisexual."

Monáe added: "What does that mean? How would discovering that impact the relationship I was in at the time? How do I talk about it with my family? How do I go back to my church?"
By addressing what was bothering her, the singer said she concluded that "if my own church won't accept me, I'm gonna create my own church."
Janelle Monáe hopes her coming out will inspire others
Monáe also added that she hopes being true to herself will encourage others to do the same.
"I think that by being the example, we make it a little easier for kids to be able to talk to their loved ones about it," she said. "When they're trying to talk to their parents and their parents don't see that representation out in the real world and people being accepted like that – it's foreign to them."
Monáe performed the single "Make Me Feel" from her Dirty Computer album at the 2019 Grammy Awards in February. She was also nominated for Album of the Year.

Pros Dominating 2017 WSOP So Far But Negreanu Left Wanting
21 June 2017, By: compncards
We've reached the midway point of the 2017 World Series of Poker and this year is turning out to be a true "Year of the Pros."
negreanu3
Several big names have taken down titles but one of them is not Daniel Negreanu. Negreanu is struggling in his pre-ordained quest to win 3 bracelets and take 2017 WSOP Player of the Year.
Mike Matusow has proclaimed "I'm Back!" following a first half that's included 3 final-table appearances. And David Bach is the first person this year to win two WSOP bracelets.
Daniel Negreanu Falling Short on Bracelet Quest
One of the big stories heading into the summer was Daniel Negreanu's self-proclaimed quest to win three WSOP bracelets and the WSOP Player of the Year title.
While many didn't really expect him to win three bracelets this summer, we figured he would win at least one. So far Negreanu has played well, but the bracelets have been elusive.
Negreanu started the summer strong by making the final table of the $10k Tag Team Event. He ultimately finished in 3rd place with his team of Eric Wasserson, Mark Gregorich and David Benyamine.
A few days later Negreanu found himself at the final table again, this time in the $10k Omaha Hi-Lo Championship. Negreanu managed to make it heads-up in this one but he never held the chip lead and ultimately fell to Abe Mosseri.
His third final table came in the $10k HORSE Event. This time he was out fairly quick, finishing in 6th place.
There's still plenty of time for Negreanu to add to his six bracelet victories, though. At the time of this writing he's the chip leader deep in the $10k Limit Hold'em Event.
Considering that he has two bracelets in this variant of poker, he may well be on his way to his 7th gold bracelet after all.
Mike Matusow Says "He's Back!"
Anyone that's followed poker over the last decade knows the name Mike Matusow, but he's been largely a non-factor in poker the last couple of years. Heading into the 2017 WSOP some people were claiming, even, that he is a "has been" and no longer relevant.
Matusow has been proving his critics wrong this summer by making three WSOP final tables.
His first final was in the $10k Omaha Hi-Lo Championship where he finished 8th for $37,120. A few days later he made the final table in the $10k Dealer's Choice Event, finishing in 5th.
On Monday Matusow made his 3rd final table of the summer and finished 6th in the $10k 2-7 Lowball Championship.
Matusow took to Twitter proclaiming that "He's Back!" following a two-year period of illness.
So far in 2017 Matusow has four cashes and all are final-table appearances. He finished runner-up to Phil Hellmuth in the Omaha 8/ Stud 8 Event at the L.A. Poker Classic back in February for his first final table appearance since 2013.
Matusow presently has $9.2 million in live poker tournament earnings.
2017 WSOP the Year of the Pro
Perhaps more so than any other year in recent memory the 2017 WSOP is turning out to be the "Year of the Pro." Over a third of the events have been taken down by repeat winners or pros breaking through for their first victory.
Among pros that have added to their bracelet totals are John Monnette, who won his third bracelet in the $10k 2-7 Lowball Event, David Singer, who won the $1,500 HORSE for his 2nd title, and David "The Dragon" Pham, who won a $1,500 NL Event.
Doug Polk proved the naysayers wrong by winning the $111,111 One Drop High Roller for his third bracelet and $3.6 million.
Among the pros that broke through for their first career bracelet are 2010 WSOP Main Event runner-up John Racener and online poker's all-time tournament earnings leader Chris Moorman.
Liv Boeree and Igor Kurganov also won their first bracelets this summer after taking down the $10k Tag Team Event. And the talented Aussie pro James Obst staged a remarkable comeback in the $10k Razz for his first career title.
David Bach Scores Pair of Bracelet Victories
David Bach has become a three-time WSOP bracelet winner after winning a pair of bracelets this summer. Bach took down the first of two bracelets during the $1,500 Dealer's Choice Event, besting a field of 364 to earn his second career bracelet and $119,399.
He defeated a solid final table including mixed game specialists Chip Jett, Brandon Cantu and Kevin Iacofano.
A week later Bach earned his second bracelet of the summer and his third overall in the $10k HORSE Championship.
This event drew an elite field of 150 players and he survived a superstar final table that included Daniel Negreanu, Jason Mercier, Don Zewin and Eric Rodawig en route to the title.
With his two bracelet victories Bach moves up to $3.19 million in earnings at WSOP events.

I found this barn by Devil Head Ski Resort in Merrimac, WI. It has quite a nostalgic appeal that I wouldn't be surprised if it were to become a tractate in future history books.
And it looks cool. With 100+ degree temps for as long as we've had, I'll take it…even if its only in a picture!


The Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama Pre-College Program introduces high school students to the intensity of a top-ranked undergraduate conservatory program.
The program helps students prepare for the college audition and interview process and illustrates the kind of creativity and discipline required for BFA Drama curriculums.
Pre-College students are involved in a wide variety of classroom projects, lecture and demonstrations, and master classes. The daily schedule mirrors the School of Drama's rigorous curriculum. At the conclusion of the program each performance student presents an audition to the faculty. The Design and Production students participate in a design portfolio presentation and interview with faculty. All students receive evaluations of their work in each course at the conclusion of the program.
Previous Pre-College students have been accepted into the leading conservatory and liberal arts colleges throughout the country.
CMU's Summer Drama Program is just one of six Summer Pre-College Programs the university offers.

Rafa Benitez contract talks with Newcastle reach crucial stage - as West Ham 'prepare an approach'
Newcastle United have been in contract negotiations with Rafa Benitez for three-and-a-half weeks, but they are yet to be resolved
Newcastle United's contract talks with Rafa Benitez have reached a critical stage – and there is a lingering threat West Ham United could swoop in and prise the Spaniard away, unless the manager receives the assurances he desires.
Benitez would ideally like to extend his stay on Tyneside and continue the work he has undertaken over the last two seasons – during which time he has led Newcastle to promotion as champions at the first time of asking, before guiding the Magpies to a top-10 finish on a modest budget, something which he has described as a "miracle".
But, unless Benitez sees progress in contract talks with the club, then there could be a danger he may have his head turned by West Ham, given that the 58-year-old was within hours of joining the east London side during the summer of 2015.
Newcastle United announce huge £90.9m loss for 2016/17 - and the highest-ever EFL wage bill too
There is still a belief from all sides on Tyneside that a positive solution can be reached – given that West Ham are yet to make any type of official approach – but Benitez is yet to learn of his precise transfer budget, despite having been promised "every last penny the club generates" by Mike Ashley in a statement released last weekend.
He wants to be handed that figure imminently, plus be afforded the freedom to spend that kitty how he sees fit – even if that means signing an experienced player with no sell-on value in a multi-million deal.
West Ham joint-owner issues statement on club's manager search with Rafa Benitez their top target
The Hammers, meanwhile, have identified the Newcastle manager as a target to succeed David Moyes, whose short-term contract was not renewed earlier this week – although it is understood that Manuel Pellegrini is also featuring prominently among their thinking.
On Thursday evening, West Ham co-owner David Sullivan claimed the club were "very close" to unveiling a "high-calibre" manager with Premier League and European experience, a description which would cover both figures. Sources in the capital suggest the Hammers are split on which of Benitez or Pellegrini to approach.

Despite that indecision, it is understood that the east London club are willing to pay the £6m it will take to buy Benitez out of the final year of his St James' Park contract – while Zenit Saint Petersburg, Everton and Leicester City are also among the Spaniard's suitors, though Newcastle remain the only club he is currently talking with.
However, Benitez has grown frustrated at the slow pace of talks with Newcastle and, although emails and phone calls have been exchanged between his representatives and the club's hierarchy, he is yet to be convinced that real progress has been made.
The lack of a face-to-face meeting with Ashley has also frustrated Benitez, who wants direct assurances from the Sports Direct magnate following three torturous transfer windows.
West Ham 'willing to give Rafa Benitez whatever he wants' to lure him from Newcastle, reports claim
Sources in London claim that West Ham are willing to do "everything" possible to tempt Benitez to return to the capital, where he briefly managed Chelsea, and an official approach to Newcastle could arrive within days if they feel it could succeed, given that they hope to appoint a successor by next Thursday.
Only a late offer from Real Madrid prevented Benitez from taking charge at the London Stadium back then, but he has retained an excellent rapport with co-chairmen Sullivan and David Gold.
Benitez has a year remaining on his Newcastle contract and his representatives have been locked in contract talks with managing director Lee Charnley for the past three-and-a-half weeks.
It is understood that the Spaniard is frustrated by the lack of clarity offered so far on a range of issues, including his exact summer transfer budget and whether the club's ambitions match his own.
With the domestic transfer window having officially opened yesterday, Benitez also wanted his future resolved before that point – and he is believed to be growing exasperated with the process.
The £4m option-to-buy clause in Martin Dubravka's loan deal is yet to be activated as a result, while the United manager has been unable to forge ahead with his pursuit of other transfer targets either.
And, with Newcastle not expected to receive their next portion of Premier League TV money for almost two months, there is a fear Benitez may need to sell before he can buy this summer.
What Newcastle players have said when quizzed about Rafa Benitez's future
Also, the statement Ashley released last Sunday – during which the owner declared his "hope" that Benitez would stay and once again pledged "every penny the club generates" for transfers – was not particularly well received by the Spaniard, who would prefer to see substantive action rather than mere words.
The Spaniard is not interested in another relegation battle and a tight 10th-placed finish next season, and wants assurances he will be given the resources to challenge for European football and a domestic cup.
If the club cannot reassure Benitez imminently then West Ham will make a formal approach and offer to reimburse Benitez the £6m compensation he must pay Newcastle should he walk away.
When Benitez was linked with a move to West Ham 18 months ago, he made sure not to distance himself from the role publicly, seemingly in the knowledge they could be a potential future employer.
Others names linked with the London Stadium post include Shakhtar Donetsk boss Paulo Fonseca, ex-Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery and Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner.

Q: Generate reports that query data from MS SQL database on Linux/CentOS? I'm trying FastReport.Mono on Linux (CentOS 7) to see if I can make an app to generate reports. Example Mono app seems to work fine with PDF and JPG export from custom dataset.
Now I need to query data from MS SQL database. I have a sample report that works well under Windows, but fails on Linux:
private static void ReportExportJPG()
{
  Report report = new Report();
  report.Load(@"sql-report.frx");
  report.Prepare(); // <<<--- Error here
  ...
}

Error message is:

Cant find object MsSqlDataConnection

Feature table says that MS SQL connectivity (nor ODBC, nor many others) is not available in FastReport.Mono. Does this mean it's entirely missing or I should use other ways and provide ready-made connection to FastReport somehow? If so - How?
P.S. Running Windows report generator with MS SQL connection under Wine works well, so I assume connecting to MS SQL from CentOS is somehow viable.

A: I was able to resolve this by adding the following to my project source:
using FastReport.Data;
using FastReport.Utils;

...

RegisteredObjects.AddConnection(typeof(MsSqlDataConnection));


China has a long history of ceramic production dating back over 3,000 years. The most famous Chinese ceramic town is Shiwan. It accounts for approximately 40% of China's ceramic production and around 25% of the world's capacity.
Shiwan Ceramics, the world famous Chinese Ceramic Capital, is central to the production of collectables, delicate Chinese ceramic figurines, traditional Chinese ceramic sculptures, large ceramic statues and even ceramic tiles.
An historical perspective was expressed in this poetic appreciation of "Shiwan ceramic tile, Chinese ceramic sculpture, the best in the world". The surviving dragon kiln in Shiwan city symbolises the outstanding technique of Shiwan ceramics and Chinese pottery.
Most of the Ceramic Sculptures and Ceramic Figurines created there are being displayed in the national museum and acquired by collectors from all over the world. Shiwan Chinese Ceramic Figurines and Ceramic Sculptures are nowadays a popular theme for special gifts, Chinese art collectables and simply as beautiful items with which to enhance your home decor.

A hardware monitor is a software application that reads data from all available hardware sensors in a system. Hardware monitors are typically smart electronically distributed sensor trackers that can be downloaded for use on a system.
Originally released in 2002 for the Mac Operating System, the hardware monitor was designed to keep track of various functionalities and states of all the hardware sensors available in the computer. It was later made available to other operating systems. The hardware monitor is responsible for reading and visually displaying or exporting data values that it receives from sensors.


This devotional has been adapted from my new book, "Awe: Why It Matters for Everything We Think, Say, & Do" - available today!
I have a confession to make: I'll occassionally shop at Macy's. If I go to the department store looking for a certain color and style of shirt and they have it, they'll get my business for the day. If they don't have what I'm looking for, I'll leave with no guilt whatsoever and walk to the next clothing store that may have my preference in stock.
That consumer behavior makes sense when it comes to clothing, but sadly, I've discovered that hordes of Christians have the same mentality when it comes to church. We, like shoppers, chase the deal of the moment. Maybe it's the celebrity preacher, the hip Saturday night worship or the most social youth program in town.
We've developed into a high-expectation and low-commitment church culture. Sure, we'll put a little money in the plate, volunteer occassionally at a ministry event and exchange superficial prayer requests with one another, but we're not radically committed to the local church like the New Testament describes.
Why this passivity? It's not because the local church has a problem; it's because we as worshippers have a problem. Specifically: an AWE problem.
Colossians 3:1-2 says, "If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." I think many of us, myself included, have neglected to set our minds on things that are above when it comes to local church fellowship and ministry.
Whether we recognize it not, we have attached our Christianity to the pursuit of the American Dream. We want success, financial stability, the big house, fancy meals and extravagant vacations. Rather than investing in the eternal treasures of the kingdom of God through the vehicle of the local church, most of our physical, emotional and spiritual energy is drained on "the things that are on earth."
But if our hearts are being progressively captured by the awe of God, his work, his grace and his kingdom - "things that are above" - we'll begin to see our local church not just as a place we attend, but as a major commitment in our life. We'll take studying the Bible seriously; we'll take giving seriously; we'll take relationships seriously; we'll take ministry opportunities seriously. Our hearts, minds and hands will be set on that which is above.
One final thing - don't wait to develop your awe of God before investing in your local church. Notice how I phrased it above - "our hearts are being progressively captured." For the rest of our lives, we'll wrestle between living in awe of God and living in awe of the things on earth. But by grace, we've been raised with Christ and can experience victory today. Confess your struggle, quit shopping and start investing.
