Traveling by train is still a pretty nice experience in France, and even though Australia is just as big as the US, long-distance train travel across the continent is quite enjoyable Down Under too. I have taken the high-speed TGV and slower regional TER trains in France numerous times, and when I first arrived in Australia, I took The Overland train from Melbourne to Adelaide. I don't have much experience with trains in the US, though I would love to hear some opinions on Amtrak.
Most areas of France are well-linked by trains and the TGV routes lead to the major cities. Annecy is only 3.5 hours from Paris on a direct TGV line and tickets can be as low as 17€ or 22€ if you buy early enough. The TER ticket prices never change and you can buy them right before getting on the train. The convenience of being able to hop on a train and get to where you want to go without having to drive (especially if the weather is bad) was always a nice possibility in France. I took the TER to Grenoble last week from Annecy and while it cost 37€, it was probably only slightly more expensive that paying for gas and tolls – which are rather expensive in France – and knowing that I didn't have to drive through the snow or while tired from traveling/jet lag was worth it.
Even though Australian trains are not high-speed and the journey from Adelaide to Melbourne took 10.5 hours, I would gladly do the trip again to see more of the countryside between the large cities. Australia has fewer major cities (and people! there are only 20 million people in the entire country after all) but they are all linked by railways and tickets can be as low as $50 for some routes. Taking luggage is free though sometimes there are restrictions. For example, the Overland allows 2 checked suitcases at 20 kg each.
I traveled a lot by plane while living in France, but mostly to other countries since France is rather small and taking the train is usually easier. Flying in Europe tended to be a hassle because of the ridiculous liquid ban and always having to go through security at every stopover if you didn't have a direct flight. Luckily with the Schengen Space nowadays most airports don't require you to go through security as often as long as you are traveling completely within the borders (similar to flying domestic in the US), and even though you can at least lock your bags (unlike in the US where TSA gets to steal your stuff), friends and family still cannot accompany you to the gate. Plus the US continues to use irradiating body scanners, while they have been recently banned in Europe where they only use non-irradiating scanners. You only have to face the dilemma of get cancer or get groped in North America. So I have never liked flying because of the unpleasant ambiance I find at airports, especially American airports.
And then I flew on a domestic flight in Australia.
ANYONE can go through security to get to the gates.
You can lock your bags.
You don't have to take off your shoes.
THERE IS NO LIQUID BAN ON DOMESTIC FLIGHTS.
The security agents are actually nice!
Qantas still provides free food and free checked luggage.
Even though Virgin Australia (on a Saver fare) and Jetstar (the low-cost offshoot of Qantas) make you pay extra for food and luggage, it's still rather affordable to fly across the country.
DID I MENTION THERE IS NO LIQUID BAN AND ANYONE CAN GO TO THE GATE???
The only thing that I didn't like was that no one checked my ID at any point so I could have used someone else's boarding pass to get on a plane. But overall flying in Australia is a very pleasant experience and a thousand times better than flying in the US.

I travelled to Canberra this past weekend to attend the Australian Society for French Studies Conference at the Australian National University. To coincide with the Applied Linguistics Association of Australia and Australian Linguistics Society conferences also taking place in Canberra this week as part of Langfest, the three themes of the conference were translation, language teaching, and discourse analysis. Obviously I attended most of the teaching presentations, though I do have an interest in translation. The conference was bilingual but most presentations were in French. I was excited to find out that the 2012 conference will be at the University of Adelaide on September 27-28, so I hope other French researchers will join me there because I am definitely attending.
Béatrice Chassaing from the French Embassy offered some interesting statistics on Australian-French studies. About 6,000 students at Australian universities are studying French, but only 500 study abroad in France. In fact, less than 1% of all Australian students study abroad. In comparison, there are 3,700 French students currently studying in Australia. The French Embassy has recently started a program to increase Australian student mobility to France and to develop Australian universities / French companies partnerships by offering paid internships for Australian students in French companies established in Australia or in Australian companies operating in France. For more information, download the Internship Program information sheet. And if neither study abroad nor internships sound appealing, the teaching assistant program is still an option. There are about 65 positions available for Australian citizens to teach English in primary or secondary schools in France or the DOM-TOMS (including New Caledonia) for seven months. The application deadline is December 12 to start teaching in October 2012.
Other plenary talks included Pierre Bondil reflecting on his translations of crime fiction (polars) over the years and Pierre Labbe explaining the concept of le Softpower à la française. Two adorable Americans who have lived in France for 45 years, Sheila Malovany-Chevallier and Constance Borde, also spoke about their translation of Le Deuxième Sexe (and I really hope they attend the conference next year because I loved talking to them about how great Australia is!) Unfortunately I had to leave early on the second day so I missed Philippe Met's talk on "Le lendemain matin…", ou la traduction d'une ellipse : scènes post-coïtales dans le cinéma français des années 30.

Claude Guéant, France's Minister of Interior, has recently made it even harder for foreigners to get a job. France still welcomes many foreign students (with 280,000 France is third in the world) but the list of métiers for which foreigners can be hired has been reduced from 30 to 14, with local préfectures being able to reduce the list even further. This largely concerns students and other foreigners who do not already have the right to work in France and who are attempting to either get a work permit or change the status on their current residency card (from student to worker, for example).
The government is trying to reduce unemployment for French citizens by limiting the number of foreign workers. However, only 0.03% of the 65 million people in France are foreigners trying to get a work permit (20,000 people who make up only 10% of all legal immigration) and there are 4 million unemployed French citizens. It seems like the government should focus more on training French citizens so they are prepared for the jobs that are available, but now more money and resources will be diverted to immigration issues instead of Pôle Emploi.
I still receive lots of e-mails from non-EU citizens asking for advice on how to find work in France. I always say getting a degree in France is the best first step because almost all require an internship at the end which can lead to a job, or at least contacts in the field. If you haven't done the internship in France, you'll be at a disadvantage. But now it seems like even having a degree from a French university won't help as much as it used to.
Finding a job in France is not impossible but with more and more anti-immigration laws popping up, it is getting even harder. That was part of the reason why I left France (and the low incomes – half of French households have an income of less than €19,000!) but I do know many people who have found jobs and obtained work permits, though I do have to admit many of them were also PACSed or married to a French or EU citizen.
I don't want to sound overly pessimistic about France but with the current state of the economy and immigrants often being blamed for problems that they have nothing to do with, foreigners trying to work in France should be prepared for an uphill battle.

Visa: Luckily I was able to mail my application and passport to the consulate in Chicago; however, shortly afterwards they changed the procedure and now require you to go there in person to apply. Depending on how far away you live from your consulate (poor Alaskans & Hawaiians have to fly to San Francisco), it can be quite expensive. Receiving my visa by mail probably took 2-3 weeks. Within three months of arriving in France, I had to go to the préfecture to apply for my residency card (carte de séjour), which I had to renew every year with the same stack of paperwork, for 70€, then 110€, then 85€ (the price keeps changing!) Nowadays, most long-stay visas for France don't expire for a year, but after that you still need to go to the préfecture to ask for a carte de séjour and renew it every year. Depending on what type of visa you have, you could end up paying anything from nothing to 340€ for your first carte de séjour, and the yearly renewal for most types currently costs 85€.
Bank account: France does not allow you to open a bank account without proof of a French address. I had to make an appointment (for three days later) to open an account because it was not possible to do it immediately, and provide several justificatifs of my identity and address in France. Luckily by the day of the appointment, I had started renting a room in a woman's apartment and she provided the documents for the proof of address.
I did finally get in touch with the people at my school and they helped me buy a cell phone (which in itself was another long, slow process even though I just wanted a cheap pay as you go phone), and after the first few stressful weeks, everything else was fine. The housing and bank issues were the worst, so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Australia would not be the same.
Visa: I applied online and received it in three days. No need to visit a consulate or mail my passport anywhere. Everything was electronic. It is good until late 2015 provided that I continue to do my PhD. The fee was $550 AUD but I do not need to renew it every year or change it into a residency card.
Bank account: Many Australian banks allow you to open an account online with your current address and transfer money into it up to an entire year before you are scheduled to move to Australia. Then you just need to show them your passport and give them your new Australian address (even a temporary one will work) when you arrive and you can set up telephone/online banking and withdraw money immediately.
So yes, I am very happy with Australia already. Everything just seems so easy, which is often what I didn't like about France since most things here seem unnecessarily difficult. I've noticed that some Americans in Australia complain about the same things that I complained about in France: stores not open long enough, everything is too expensive, the pace of life is a bit too slow, etc. Yet Australia does seem less frustrating than France (see housing and bank account above!) and hey, at least the stores are open on Sundays.
Next week I'll update with part 3 on arriving in Australia and finishing up the banking stuff as well as buying a cell/mobile phone. Later in July I'll post about the cost of living and how much I'll be paying for everything (my lease doesn't start until July 15 so I'll be staying with a friend until then), to compare it with my situation in France that I posted about last November.

I'm moving to Australia in one week! I'm almost completely packed and have taken care of most of the paperwork with regards to leaving France. Since David (and yes, Canaille) are staying in France and moving back to Annecy, I don't have to take care of everything or even move everything right now – though I'm really just leaving behind furniture and books. I have donated some of my clothes to the local Scouts and given away smaller things, such as my bread machine, to people who will use them. I always hate when I feel like I have too many possessions that I don't really need and moving overseas is a good opportunity to really sort through everything and see what is truly important to own and what you can do without.
As far as paperwork goes, I am leaving my French bank account open so I can still use my bank card when I come back to Europe. I'm sending a lettre de résiliation to cancel my mutuelle (private health insurance), changing the car registration & insurance to David's name, and signing a pouvoir pour l'état des lieux so he can sign for me since I won't be here when he returns the keys to this apartment. This is obviously much easier than if I had lived alone in France, because then I would also have to cancel electricity, water, internet, etc. You can easily find sample résiliation letters online when canceling contracts, but always make sure to send them recommandé with an accusé de reception!
Since I am not flying to/from the US or Canada, I am only allowed ONE checked bag and one carry-on bag, with maximum weights of 23 kg and 7 kg. I technically could check an extra bag, but it would cost $45 PER KILO. (I have no idea why flights not going to the US/Canada allow such limited luggage. It's rather unfair, isn't it?) The rest of my things are under 23 kg too, so being able to check a 2nd bag would have been perfect, but oh well, I'll just have to send some stuff via La Poste. Unfortunately, they no longer have the slower, cheaper option for shipping packages overseas (économique) and the regular international rate is expensive. The only other option is their pre-paid boxes that only come in a few sizes/weight limits (such as L for 36.50€ or XL for 43€), so I will be using three of those to get the rest of my stuff across the ocean.
La Poste does offer a cheaper book rate for sending boxes (maximum 5 kg each) or bags (25 kg) overseas, but many postal workers do not know about it and the bag option is particularly difficult to use since you must go to a Centre de Tri and convince them that it does in fact exist. I will be sending at least 7 boxes of French books this way, at 13.72€ each. Oddly enough the webpage about the livres et brochures rate mysteriously stopped working a few days ago, but you can still access it through the Wayback Machine.
All that is left is to get to the airport on Monday and settle into the (hopefully) comfortable seats on Etihad Airways. I am actually excited about flying with a 4 star airline for once. Even though I'm flying economy, I bet it will be much better than flying economy on certain other airlines… such as any that are based in the US. I already know that I will have power & USB plugs for my laptop/iPod/Kindle, plus a 10.4″ video screen with 600 hours of entertainment, so I definitely won't be bored on the seven and thirteen hour flights.
Everything for Australia is already taken care of – including opening a bank account and finding housing – which I will explain in part 2 next week after I arrive. Here's a teaser: moving to Australia is turning out to be a million times easier than moving to France.

I'm still endlessly fascinated by cultural differences between the US/North America and France/Europe that most people probably don't spend much time thinking about. A McDonald's commercial on French TV got me thinking about numbers and counting in other languages and cultures. You learn quickly that Europe uses the 24 hour clock for schedules and the 1st floor in Europe is the 2nd floor in the US, etc. but did you know that Europeans also count on their fingers differently?
The American style is to start with the index finger but Europeans start with the thumb, which I have NEVER been able to remember to do – and I end up confusing my 2 year old niece who doesn't understand why weird American aunt Jennie doesn't know how to count correctly. If you just hold up the index finger, some people will misinterpret it as 2 instead of 1.
Written numbers also gave me some problems in French. This was the validity date on my first autorisation provisoire de travail as an English assistant. I knew that European dates were in the format day/month/year but I wasn't yet used to how numbers were actually written. When I first glanced at the dates, the 1's looked completely bizarre to me and I thought the second date was 30/06/07 instead of 30/04/07.
Another major difference pertaining to numbers is that the use of periods and commas are reversed. Periods are used as the decimal mark in the US, while commas are used in most of Europe. Commas are used as the thousands separator in the US, while periods or spaces or nothing are used in Europe (there are many differences depending on the country). This doesn't cause many confusions but one mathematical operation probably will at first glance.
Learning words and grammar is never enough!

The weather has been gorgeous in France this past week and I've been looking at the forecast everyday hoping that the sunshine sticks around for a while. Yet every time I watch the météo on TV or check the prévisions on meteofrance.com, I always have to stop for a moment and convert the Celcius degrees to Fahrenheit so that I will know the "real" temperature. Even after 4.5 years in France, I am still not used to talking about the weather in Celcius because it just seems so… unnatural to me. I've finally memorized some conversions (30 is hot enough for me to go swimming, for example), but I still cannot convert automatically and instantly in my head.
But is 10 degrees cold?
Yesterday while we were driving home from grandma's house, David asked about speed limits in the US and after the requisite "it's different for each state" line that I have to say for everything concerning US laws, I immediately started rattling off numbers in miles per hour, which of course meant nothing to David. Unlike North American cars, mainland European cars have no use for an odometer which includes both miles and kilometers, so I had to use a conversion app on my iPod to give him the equivalents in kilometers per hour.
using the 24 hour clock instead of AM and PM: it seems like only the military uses the 24 hour clock in the US but everyone uses it in France, for public transportation, flights, opening hours, work or class schedules, television programming, etc.
On the other hand, there are many differences between the US and Europe (or more specifically, France) that are easier to get used to and come as pleasant surprises when compared to America, such as finding out that going to university doesn't have to cost a small fortune (only 300€ per semester), health care is NOT reserved for the rich, extensive public transportation and train networks are quite convenient, separation of church and state actually exists, incoming calls are FREE on cellphones as well as many outgoing calls when it's landline to landline (or any phone in the US/Canada), and you can't just buy something because you want it even though you don't have the money for it which prevents you from going into debt and losing your house.
For foreigners visiting the US, it almost seems like adjusting to these changes is easier because chip & PIN cards can be used as swipe & sign cards so there are no problems when trying to pay for something (except for those ridiculous minimum amounts that certain places require for debit or credit cards), automatic cars are easier to drive plus the cost of gas is much cheaper (compared to $9 a gallon in some parts of Europe), and stores that are open 24 hours a day and on Sundays are much more convenient for tourists who have limited time to see and do everything they want while on vacation.
So my fellow Americans, anything major that I missed? Canadian friends, which ones are the same up north? And for the non-North Americans, anything else that you have to get used to while in the US?
* Tip: In France, you can find change machines in major post offices and video arcades, which are usually connected to movie theaters, if you need/want coins instead of bills. You can always try asking for change in stores or tabacs, but don't count on them to help you out. The train station in the town where I live won't give change even if you just want to use the machines in the train station!

Every year in March I have to renew my residency card in France. This involves collecting paperwork and a trip to the préfecture with David (since I am a resident of France thanks to the fact that we are PACSed) at least two months before the current carte de séjour expires. Every encounter with the préfecture has been an adventure since my arrival in France and sometimes I'm glad that David has to be with me to do it so he can see what l'administration française is like for foreigners.
My fingers are crossed that they don't need anything else and that I can receive my carte de séjour – after paying 110€ for it, of course – which will be valid until May 2012. After the préfecture, we headed to the town hall so David could renew his identity card. French citizens still get national ID cards though I'm not really sure why they are necessary if you also have a passport for travel and your driver's license for ID. Anyway, he only needed to show his old ID card and proof of address then fill out one form and hand over two photos to order his free identity card, valid for another 10 years. But for once, renewing my carte de séjour was actually easier (and less annoying) than David trying to renew his ID card.
The woman working at the town hall was nice, but very insistent that David's photos would not be accepted because of some mysterious dots that neither David nor I could see. There were five photos to choose from and she was really afraid that none of them would be good enough because of the invisible marks that she kept pointing to with her scissors. Then she explained that if she sent those photos (to Paris, of course), the file would probably be sent back, and that would take an extra month – not to mention require them to ::gasp:: call David to inform him. She made it sound like it would be so much work for them and that David should just go waste another 5€ on stupid photos right then. But David said no, send the photos and if it comes back, it comes back. The whole time I just sat there quietly trying not to laugh at this lady who saw spots that weren't there and the idea that the photos would be rejected even though they get scanned, turned into black and white, and have squiggly lines over them when the card is finally made, so even if the spots were there, how in the world would it matter? Which is worse, a speck of dust in the background or a bunch of RF symbols covering your face?
Upon leaving the mairie, David started complaining about how ridiculous that was and I responded with: Welcome to my world. At least he only has to renew his ID card every 10 years. I just applied for my 8th residency card in 4.5 years, and David only had to be with me for about a quarter of the times that I've had to go to the préfecture and deal with fonctionnaires who didn't know what they were doing. So thank you, France, for not discriminating against foreigners when it comes to bureaucracy. It's nice to know that even French citizens have to go through the same frustrating experiences when dealing with French administration!

Mental illness is an aspect of human nature, both ignored and normalized, especially in the entertainment industry.
Mental illness is an aspect of human nature, both ignored and normalized, especially in the entertainment industry. Split is an upcoming thriller that centers around a man with 23 different personalities who takes three young girls hostage. Some may find this plot intriguing, cheesy, or creepy, but the whole concept is encased in a film of ignorance about the real issue here: Why are we entertaining human beings with mental health issues who we don't give adequate treatment to, outside of our enjoyment?
There are common misconceptions that mask the very real effects of mental illnesses. Sadness is not just depression. Stress is not anxiety. Mood swings are not depression. Bad days and feelings of sadness are still uncomfortable, yet that doesn't equate to having a mental illness. Not only that, but the frequency of the issue at hand is underestimated on the whole. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 4 people in the WORLD, are affected by mental illness. This issue is prevalent throughout the globe, affecting a lot more people than opposition seems to believe.
Movies and television shows are inherently captivating and should be fun, but the media we're digesting should be processed on a higher level, to some extent. When we as a society sit back and watch mental illness continue to become normalized in such a malicious way, yet fail to provide sufficient health care to others, we contradict the image we claim to project as a country. The National Alliance on Mental illness found that "Adults in the U.S. living with serious mental illness die on average 25 years earlier than others, largely due to treatable medical conditions." If we continue to discount the legitimacy of a growing problem, we are neglecting people who need our help.
Look, Split may seem to be gripping and exciting in theory, but it is inadequate to manipulate a genuine ailment to produce mass media. It's valuable to tell others stories, but the value is lost when the human beings affected, behind the scenes, are discounted in ways that obliterate the objective of human rights.

The desire to acknowledge and interact with non-human beings brought Jared Gradinger and Angela Schubot into a deep immersion with nature and its inherent intelligence. Rather than a traditional dance piece, with "YEW" they co-create an experimental evening of intense encounters with a plant nature, which they can only describe as a "soilless garden." They share their interspecies encounters with the audience.

Q: Transact SQL - dynamically build column names This one is to tricky for me...
I work on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and I have a table with personnames in it. The persons names could have changed over time so there are also historical information.
Example:
PID Sequence Name
1   0        Michael Hansen
2   0        Ulla Hansen
2   94       Ulla Margrethe Hansen
2   95       Ulla Margrethe Jensen
3   0        Daniella Oldfield
3   95       Daniella Quist

(I have not build this table - so I cannot go in and change how data is stored).
Person with PID 1 is called Michael Hansen. This is his current name (sequence 0 is always specifying the current name) and as there are no other records he has always been named Michael Hansen.
Person PID 2 is currently called Ulla Hansen (sequence 0). Before that she was called Ulla Margrethe Hansen (as this is the next sequence number) and before that again she was called Ulla Margrethe Jensen.
What I know about this table is that the current name is always sequence 0. I also know that if there have been two names the next sequence is 95. And three historical names: current name: sequence 0, before that sequence 94 and oldest name 95.
And my database contains information about up to 6 historical names (sequence 0, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95).
Now I have been told to list all names in a new table with just one row per person like:
PID Name1             Name2                   Name3
1   Michael Hansen
2   Ulla Hansen       Ulla Margrethe Hansen   Ulla Margrethe Jensen
3   Daniella Oldfield Daniella Quist

So far I have the following SQL which almost works:
SELECT PID
  ,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 0 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name1
  ,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 91 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name2
  ,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 92 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name3
  ,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 93 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name4
  ,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 94 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name5
  ,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 95 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name6
FROM tblShipTypeHistory
GROUP BY PID

It gives me all the names as I want it in one row per PID. And the current name is also always listed under Name1. The problem is that I need the second newest name to be in column Name2 etc. I my case it (of course) only works if a person have had six names.
So what I need to do is name the columns Name2 to Name6 dynamically based on how many names the PID have actually had. So I have tried building my SQL dynamically like (DECLARE @SQL AS NVARCHAR(MAX) and then set @SQL = to the above SQL example). Then I have tried something like
SET @SQL = 'SELECT ....
,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 91 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name' + COUNT(PID) - 4 + '
,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 92 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name' + COUNT(PID) - 3 + '
,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 93 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name' + COUNT(PID) - 2 + '
,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 94 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name' + COUNT(PID) - 1 + '
,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 95 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name' + COUNT(PID) + '

Logically this could work (it would give the the correct column names), but unfortunately the syntax "+ count(PID)" doesn't work.
(Phew!) So anyone who has a solution for this?
Thank you in advance.

A: Do it with RANK() and PIVOT() combined. Rank() to figure out the "age" of the name, pivot to get all the columns.
create table t(pid int not null, sequence int not null, name nvarchar(50))

INSERT INTO t VALUES
(1,   0,        N'Michael Hansen'),

Sql fiddle: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!3/d8301/16

A: Your syntax error lies in the fact that you are trying to concatenate COUNT(*) which is an int, with NVARCHAR. I think something like this would work for you:
SET @SQL = 'SELECT ....
,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 91 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name' + CAST(COUNT(PID) - 4 AS NVARCHAR) + '
,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 92 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name' + CAST(COUNT(PID) - 3 AS NVARCHAR) + '
,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 93 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name' + CAST(COUNT(PID) - 2 AS NVARCHAR) + '
,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 94 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name' + CAST(COUNT(PID) - 1 AS NVARCHAR) + '
,MAX(CASE sequence WHEN 95 THEN Name ELSE '' END) AS Name' + CAST(COUNT(PID) AS NVARCHAR) + '

However, this doesn't seem very future proof as you are still manually creating the SQL, I am not sure why your sequence goes from 0 to 91, but I have assumed that they will always be in ascending order, even if there are gaps so have used the ROW_NUMBER() function to get the instance of each name:
DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX) = '',
        @PVT NVARCHAR(MAX) = ''

SELECT  @SQL = @SQL + ', COALESCE(' + QUOTENAME('Name' + RowNum) + ', '''') AS ' +  QUOTENAME('Name' + RowNum),
        @PVT = @PVT + ', ' + QUOTENAME('Name' + RowNum)
FROM    (   SELECT  DISTINCT CONVERT(VARCHAR, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY PID ORDER BY Sequence)) [RowNum]
            FROM    tblShipTypeHistory
        ) rn

SET @SQL = 'SELECT PID' + @SQL + '
            FROM    (   SELECT  PID,
                                Name,
                                ''Name'' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY PID ORDER BY Sequence)) [NameID]
                        FROM    tblShipTypeHistory
                    ) data

How iPhone App Development Important for Your Business in 2021?
/Under iPhone App Development
Any business must own or be a part of this iPhone application development because it helps attract customers, protects our data, and maintains customer-business confidentiality. It contributes to reducing manual labor by enhancing the quality and branding of the business through an appealing design. When developing a business application, an iPhone app development company must select a platform that supports other useful projects and offers the highest security to its customers.
1. Extreme Security
iPhone protects against data duplication, data encryption, and data theft by preserving customer privacy and user identity. The primary objective is to adequately protect them from external threats such as hacking, phishing, and more. Additionally, the iPhone application is extremely secure when it comes to in-app and app purchases. The iPhone includes a high-end data encryption security layer that helps enterprises avoid data breaches and duplication, and it places a premium on the platform's protection.
The app store has always adhered to stringent rules for new applications. To prevent disclaimers, iPhone app Development Company and developers must be familiar with several features.
2. Amplification of the User Experience
Users of the iPhone empower business applications to be their first choice. Excellent hardware, exceptional customer service, and flawless software. Some users work, while others download an Android application. Apple customers, on the other hand, do not have this problem. Each iPhone application runs smoothly on an iPhone, providing a positive user experience critical for any business. Users can be confident that any app they download from the app store will run smoothly. When weighing the advantages of iPhone application development, the contentment of iPhone users cannot be overlooked. Check out the best software development company.
3. The Time Allowed For Test Preparation Is Limited
Whereas Apple has a total of less than twenty mobile devices on the market. It updates its current operating system just once a year. It significantly reduces testing time and enables a quicker time to market for iPhone apps. One of the most major benefits of developing an iPhone application is the reduced cost of development. Because of the iPhone's decreased fragmentation Because there are only a limited amount of iOS devices and versions available, developers may design and test the app as quickly as possible, delivering value to the company. Each year, it provides a single upgrade to its current operating system. Testing time is significantly decreased, and iPhone apps are sold more quickly. It is one of the primary benefits of iPhone programming.
4. Enhanced Return on Investment
Which is not very lucrative for a business. With iPhone apps, a business may achieve healthier finances, more income, and a stronger return on investment. Scalable iPhone applications may connect businesses with investment-worthy clients and expand their reach with enhanced value. Numerous businesses can maximize their returns on investment by producing iPhone applications. Compared to Android, the iPhone is a much more sophisticated platform for launching a brand and expanding its reach to target people. The adoption of iPhone apps may have an effect on a company's dependable accounts with increased profits. By retaining an iPhone application developer, we may boost these aspects of a growing firm.
5. Expensive Audience
Additionally, a business must attract new clients to increase revenue. The iPhone has always been an enticing gadget for technical audiences. Businesses may expand their access to these individuals by developing a well-designed iPhone application. Creating a corporate iPhone application is a novel method to illustrate how a firm may further enhance brand awareness. If an iPhone application is engaging and responsive, you get valuable insights that are beneficial. Using the assistance of an app developer, you may create an application that has the functionality that customers have requested and takes it to the next level by incorporating new features into an existing iPhone application, among other things.
6. International Market
Growing businesses and manufacturing iPhones are very popular in developed nations like the United States and the United Kingdom. An iPhone app allows a firm to expand in such areas. Because of the widespread use of iPhones in these countries, the company has a better chance of overturning its current market dominance. Furthermore, it has a very safe market, stringent quality control systems, and strong standards and laws. Additionally, these strategies contribute to creating a stable and suitable atmosphere in which programmers may work.
7. Personal Interface with The User
The firm develops an app to offer superior service. The more enjoyable the app, the more satisfied the user is with the firm. Additionally, users will like the simple and appealing interface of iPhone applications. These characteristics may make the company's software more desirable to use and improve sales, especially since individuals who use the Apple OS tend to stick with it and purchase it often since they're never satisfied with any other OS. The iPhone app performs flawlessly, earning Apple a user base that is proud of its goodwill. Businesses may easily enhance their earnings via advances since they are already aware of consumer preferences.
8. Aesthetic Designs Are Extremely Important
In comparison to Android, the icons for the bulk of applications on the iPhone are far more attractive. They are dynamically constructed, and just a few applications display alerts without requiring users to sign in. It enables businesses to communicate with customers more quickly and effectively. They come in a range of very appealing patterns. Thus, a business person might employ an app developer to create an iPhone application to increase his business's visibility among clients via technology.
9. Company and Customer Services
Numerous programs involve dynamic user data and must be adequately protected against hackers and other threats. To prohibit security software from taking data from the store and managing personally identifiable information from users. It is also a significant market in which entrepreneurs avoid risking the application's security since a breach might result in the loss of their company.
10. Customer Friendly
It offers a robust mix of hardware and software and complete customer support and maintenance throughout the application's lifespan.
However, such rigorous requirements result in programs that provide an enjoyable user experience. The app may assist in retaining existing users and attracting new ones with an emphasis on quality, user experience, and performance.

Jony Ive No Longer Appears On Apple's Leadership Page
Ive announced his planned departure back in June, and now it appears to have taken place as Apple's legendary Chief Design Officer isn't listed on the leadership page anymore.
By Justin Herrick
https://www.pcmag.com/news/jony-ive-no-longer-appears-on-apples-leadership-page
Jony Ive isn't an Apple employee anymore. His departure has taken effect, according to The Verge(Opens in a new window), after confirming several months ago that he planned to step down as Chief Design Officer. Now, Ive will operate an independent design firm with Apple remaining by his side as a client.
He disappeared from Apple's leadership page(Opens in a new window), which lists executive profiles for top-ranking employees. Ive spent more than 27 years with the Cupertino-based company. Joining in 1992, Ive served as a product designer and took over as Senior Vice President of Industrial Design in 1997. Apple assembled the role of Chief Design Officer for Ive in 2015. He's been responsible for the iconic designs found on the iPhone, iPad, iPod, MacBook, and more.
Still, Apple isn't completely losing access to Ive and his genius. Both sides confirmed they'll collaborate on future products. LoveFrom, Ive's new design firm, will source clients across all industries.
"Jony is a singular figure in the design world and his role in Apple's revival cannot be overstated, from 1998's groundbreaking iMac to the iPhone and the unprecedented ambition of Apple Park, where recently he has been putting so much of his energy and care," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement(Opens in a new window) earlier this year. "Apple will continue to benefit from Jony's talents by working directly with him on exclusive projects, and through the ongoing work of the brilliant and passionate design team he has built."
On his own, Ive could implement his vision as well as self-owned patents. Reports(Opens in a new window) suggest Ive owns more than 5,000 patents.

We'll need to wait and see exactly what LoveFrom does, but there should certainly be an influence on the next iPhone and other products Apple has in the pipeline. Ive essentially built Apple's design language from scratch, and of course the company wants to remain consistent with that for the next couple of years. LoveFrom could also take on additional clients in the consumer technology space.

The Gather is a fun game of tag where teens can be healed from injuries. The Proclaim explores the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Spirit, how they were and are to be used for the building up of others, as well as how faith is both a requirement and fruit of them. During the Break, the teens discuss the Proclaim in small groups. In the Send, a priest explains and invites the teens to a healing Mass.
The goal of this Life Night is to introduce teens to the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Spirit and build faith in God's miraculous power.
– The Holy Spirit offers us spiritual gifts or charisms that are meant to be used for the good of others. These are sometimes called extraordinary gifts of the Holy Spirit.
– The first followers of Christ used these gifts to build the Church and bring people to faith in Jesus Christ. These same gifts are available to Christ's followers today.
– Miracles, healings, and signs and wonders happen today.

DUI & DUID Laws in Fresno, CA; What's the Difference, How Much is Bail & How Long Do You Stay in Jail?
When you are a driver of a motorized vehicle you are responsible for the control of your car, truck, van or motorcycle. You have taken a driving test as well as a written exam to show that you know what is expected of you as a driver on the road. When you break any of the laws of the roads you can have your licensed suspended and you could even face criminal charges. One law that many people are arrested for is a DUI or a DUID. A DUI is a charge that you can get when you are driving under the influence of alcohol. A DUID is when you are arrested while driving under the influence of a drug. When you are arrested for a DUI or a DUID you need to know what you are dealing with and why these charges are not treated lightly.
What Is The Difference Between a DUI & DUID in California?: These two types of charges that you can be arrested for are similar in nature. The difference is what the person is actually under the influence of. You may receive a DUI if you are caught driving after you have had alcoholic beverages. There is a limit that you need to be under to be safe and ready to drive. A DUID is when you are caught driving after you have used a drug that effects your actions. Some people think that it only counts if you are using an illegal drug but the law says that you cannot drive a vehicle after using any mind alerting substances. It can be a prescription that a doctor has given you and told you not to operate machinery while using. The testing for DUID to prove the substance you used is affecting you is different than the test given for DUI. A breathalyzer works to show alcohol but blood work is necessary to prove other substances the driver may have taken.
What Happens If You Are Charged with A DUID or DUI?: Not every driving violation is treated the same. The officer can take into account your background and record when proceeding with their arrest or ticket. A DUI or DUID is not taken lightly and will usually be dealt with harshly because the driver has put others at risk with the decision. There are several outcomes when charged with a DUI or DUID. You could have your licensed suspended, as well as pay fines to the city or county. You could even receive probation and depending in the charge and the severity of the case you could be incarcerated. If you are arrested for either of these crimes you need to do what you can to get bail.
Bail Bond For a DUI or DUID: Whatever it is that you are arrested for the first step is to call a licensed bail company. We can work with your family or friends to get your bail arranged and paid so that you can be released. You will be required to see the judge and return to see what sentence you will be given. As with any conditions of bail it is important that you attend all meeting and court dates to stay out of jail.

Magaziner Genealogical Puzzles: Did Sarah Magaziner Enter The US at Philadelphia or through St. Albans, Vermont in the fall of 1907?
Magaziner Genealogical Puzzles..
There they are, I am pretty sure, this is a marriage photo. My grand parents were too poor to take too many photos back in Grodno from whence they came. This time I noticed Grandma Sarah's hand gently on Grandpa Julius' shoulder which I interpret as a sign of quiet affection. Who knows?
What a lovely photo, she a trim young bride, really stunning. He, built like a brick. We were told he could bend a silver dollar in his fingers. Here in the USA he worked construction, worked in a steel mill in Buffalo for a while, died in 1924 after drinking prohibition alcohol before work on a cold day. It poisoned his system and he died in agony at home three days later.
Sarah Magaziner is our (my sisters' and my) maternal grandmother. There are stories that have become nothing short of legends in our family as to the travails she suffered in finally making it to the United States sometime in the fall of 1907. That this is the season and the year she arrived is well established, but…
Did she arrive in a ship, the Westernland from Liverpool to Philadelphia or did she arrive from somewhere else in Europe to Halifax, Canada and then descend to the United States (New York City) through St. Albans, Vermont.
Family Genealogy. Tedious.
I come back to it after having not touched it for several years. In this case stimulated to look into it again by an old friend, now living in NYC, but whom decades ago, lived in Denver. We've reconnected since and he has given me a number of hints, things to follow up on. And I have.
Thank you John Duggan.
And as a result, I have come across some interesting documents I had never seen before, shedding new light on Grandma Sarah Magazine's (then Magaziner) fall 1907 journey from Europe to the United States.
They give a somewhat different picture from the anecdotal legendary descriptions of Grandma Sarah's journey as told by our Aunt Mal (b. Molly Magaziner, changed her name to Malvina Magaziner and the Malvina Magazine) in the years prior to her 2007 death.
As to not to confuse Aunt Mal's version with what the documents have to say, for the moment I'll leave it aside and just the new information as it appears in the documents.
There are some obvious changes, even in the documents themselves. A few examples.
– The dates of Grandma Sarah's birth vary anywhere from 1877 to 1880 – and her stated age. Most of the documents suggest that she was born in 1880 but at her death in 1947 (April 18), her tombstone clearly says 70 years old at the time of death, which would put her birth at 1877.
– There are a few differences in spelling both of her maiden name, Wychejvsky (spelled at least five different ways – Wachevsky, Wichefsky, Wichevsky, Wychevsky, etc…). These different versions make it very difficult to monitor her maiden name. There are different spellings of the family name "Magaziner"; in one document it is Maguziner. Later the family would legally change the name, dropping the name to "Magazine".
There are no documents (that I could find) suggesting that Sarah Magaziner came to the United States through Ellis Island, like her husband, our grandfather Julius Magaziner did in 1904.
Although the documents I have are somewhat confusing as detailed below, my best estimate is that according to the documents available sometime in October of 1907, she passed through immigration from Canada with her four year old son, Leiza (Louis Magaziner) at St. Albans, Vermont. She had arrived in Canada at the port of Halifax, traveled probably from there by train to Montreal and from Montreal south to the U.S. Canadian border at St. Albans.
That this is the case is reflected in the following documents:
1. UK and Ireland. Outward Passenger 1860-1940 for Sarah Magaziner. – Will be referred to as "Doc -1″
2.a Copy of Ship Manifest, Westernland from Liverpool (September 11, 1907) – "Doc -2″
3. U.S., Border Crossings from Canada to U.S., 1895-1960 (Record of October 1907) – "Doc – 3″
According to Doc 1, UK and Ireland, Outward Passenger Lists, 1890-1960 for Sarah Magaziner, on September 11, 1907 Grandmother Sarah along with her four year old son named Leizer tried to embark upon a ship from Liverpool, destination Philadelphia. In that document there are two lines crossed out – one for Sarah Magaziner – described as "wife" and just below hers, one for Leizer (Louis) Magaziner.
In script there is the word "Rejected" clearly written. That means they were not permitted to board. Main point here, is that they were not rejected after the voyage had been completed in the USA at Ellis Island, but were not permitted to board from Liverpool in the first place. There is no reason given.
This helps explain the confusion of the three above documents, which contradict one another, one having her enter the U.S. at Philadelphia in late September, the other through Canada sometime in October.
Doc 2, the Manifest of the Westernland has Sarah Magaziner as a passenger, leaving Liverpool on September 11, 1907 and arriving in Philadephia.
But Doc 3, which I believe to be more accurate, has Sarah Magaziner and son Leizer entering the United States from Canada at St. Albans, Vermont in October, 1907 after having landed at Halifax (no ship given).
So… what's the deal? Did Grandma arrive in Philadelphia from Liverpool in late September or did she enter the U.S. through Canada
Doc 1 makes clear that Sarah Magaziner and Leizer were "rejected" at Liverpool and had to find another way to get to America. She found another ship – I believe from Bremen, Germany which landed in Halifax and entered the U.S. through Canada as noted above.
How to solve the dilemma more accurately? Find what ships landed in Halifax, Canada in late September, early October 1907 and determine if she and little Leizer are on the manifest of one of them. This is not as complicated as it sounds. Those records exist and of course, now I'll have to see if I can find such records (based upon the "Border Crossings from Canada to U.S. 1895-1960 document).
Note: The documents cited are on my Ancestry.com website which I would share with those family members who are interested. Could not download them as I had hoped.

Sarah had a tiny waist when she was young. A perfect "hour glass figure." Very fashionable then and now. In the later picture, which is your mom?

Strong, reliable and cost effective – the upscaling trend of wind turbines leads to new challenges in the design of blade root joints. Fully bonded bushings with internal thread for high strength stud bolts in various designs are expected to fit the needs and lead to higher load capacity by simultaneously reduced size of blade connections.
With our flexible DAkkS accredited test laboratories we are able to realize customized test setups. Further accreditation allows IMA Dresden to perform root joint testing without witnessing of certification body like DNV-GL.

Straight Hair ~Straight Hair: By cutting dry, you can create a more dramatic look. Straight hair has more body, volume, and movement when cut dry.
Wavy Hair ~Wavy Hair: Most people have this hair type. A good wavy haircut is created by cutting into the wave to give it shape, picking up pieces around the face to create depth around the jaw line and cheeks.
Curly Hair ~Curly Hair: My personal favorite! Being able to cut this hair type is not a given, it is a trained skill. Did you know that frizz in curl comes from the hair being dry or unconditioned? Hair does not grow that way. modelAll images on Hairhotties.com are actual Envy Hair Salon clients.

From England to Sussex - Garton eyes more wickets
Sussex's George Garton is hoping for a breakthrough summer after returning from the Under-19 World Cup and enjoying a dream start to his first-class career.
Friday, 8th April 2016, 2:00 pm
George Garton
Garton has recently signed a new two-year extension to his contract, which will see him remain at Hove until at least the end of the 2018 season.
The 18 year-old left-arm seamer put pen to paper with Sussex back in November on a Junior Professional Contract, but the Brighton-born youngster has now extended his deal for a further two seasons.
Garton has progressed through the Sussex's Youth and Academy ranks and first featured for England Under-19s last summer against the touring Australians, before going on to spend some of this winter on the Potential England Performance Programme (PEPP) in South Africa.
He was selected in the England under-19 squad for the World Cup in February and impressed.
Now he is celebrating a wicket with his first first-class delivery - for Sussex against Leeds/Bradford MCCU in the season opener at Hove.
"It was a bit of a surreal moment taking a wicket with the first ball, especially with the wicket playing the way it was," said Garton.
Garton went to Hurst College and played for Three Bridges. He's also played for Horsham and is still expected to turn out for them this summer.
In the meantime he just wants to build on the great start he made to life in the senior ranks.
"It's straight into the competitive stuff now and I don't know about selection - everyone is fit and fighting for places," he said.
"I'm just concentrating on my performances and will let the selectors do their job, and I'll do mine."
Garton is pleased to see Jon Lewis appointed Sussex's assistant head coach.
He added: "It's great having Lewy – he has really helped my game over the past few years and I have him to thank for many things with my bowling. I'm really pleased for him to become assistant head coach."
