Civitavecchia is the port that acts as the gateway to the eternal city of Rome for cruise travellers. There are two main ways to reach Rome from Civitavecchia- by bus or by train. If you wish to go by bus, then you will have to book one of the shore excursions that are on offer through your cruise company. The journey from Civitavecchia to Rome by coach can take anything from one hour to two hours, depending on traffic. This can mean valuable sightseeing and exploration time is spent sitting on a bus. I think this is a major downside of getting the ship's organised shore excursions to Rome as I like to maximise my time in each port of call. I've even been on cruises where sail-away has been delayed because whole tour buses have been stuck in traffic and late back to the ship! I don't know about you, but I'd be panicking if I was on that delayed bus back…!
If you decide to be adventurous and travel to Rome yourself by train you'll find that it is a lot quicker, not to mention much cheaper than the shore excursions on offer. From where the cruise ships dock, you will normally be taken on a complimentary (although some lines do charge a nominal fee for this!) shuttle bus to the port exit and this will be organised by your cruise company. To find the train station from the port exit you should turn right and walk along the main street parallel to the sea. Within a few minutes you will see the train station on the left hand side of the street. I recommend that you check the train timetables before making your way to the train station, there are normally 2-3 trains an hour. The train takes less than an hour and brings you right to the centre of the city.
If you decide not to venture into Rome from Civitavecchia, then there are a few hours to be spent happily in this large coastal town. There are plenty of shops if you're looking for presents to take home, or just to treat yourself. There are also some good quality restaurants and nice cafés with relaxing views out to sea if you simply want to relax rather than battle the crowds in Rome. There's no beach to speak of in Civitavecchia as there's no sand, but nearby beach resort Santa Marinella is less than 10 minutes away by train and definitely fits the bill if you're looking to enjoy a day at the beach.

The Importance Of A Ground Rod !
Many people mistakingly use the terms of grounding and bonding interchangeably. 'Grounding' and 'Bonding' are two very different things, with different purposes. The purpose of grounding is to give stray electrical current a place to go, which is to the ground, rather than through you. A properly installed ground rod protects a home and its occupants from electrical shocks by routing electrical surges into the earth surrounding the home. Common sources of electrical surges include lightning strikes, line surges and short circuiting transformers. The explanation of bonding is that it is done to prevent you from being shocked or electrocuted when one hand touches one metal component, and your other hand touches another metal component. By running a wire (bonding wire) from one metal component to another, stray electricity, such as a short, will equalize through the wire and one metal component won't have a greater voltage in it than another metal component. To some extent, grounding and bonding work in conjunction with each other, in a way they are backups for each other.
The image shows the ground wire (grounding electrode conductor) clamped to the buried ground rod. The ground round shown is installed vertically, straight down, but realistically it will be installed at an angle and should not be at more than at a 45 degree angle and the top connection area should be left slightly exposed.
A ground rod is a metal shaft used for grounding. In the San Antonio area the ground rod is usually copper or copper coated. The only place grounding through a grounding rod should be done is at the main electrical panel. That's main panel, which is outside at the service, not sub panel which is usually in the garage or utility room area. The reason a main electrical panel is grounded through a grounding rod is to limit the voltage imposed on the entire electrical system by lightning, unintentional contact with higher voltage lines, or line surges. Grounding rods conduct electricity frrom the grounding electrode conductors directly into the earth, where it is harmlessly dissapated. Besides the grounding rod, the panel needs to also be grounded back into the electrical providers "grid".
The grounding rod (grounding electrode) needs to be a minimum 8 ft. in lenght. A ground wire (grounding electrode conductor) no smaller than #6 AWG bare copper running from the main electric panel should be used. Aluminum has a tendency to corrode and should not be used in ground wires. The ground wire is attached by a proper clamp to the ground rod. This grounding wire clamp must also be rated for direct burial. The rod which is installed within a couple of feet of the main panel is buried in the ground at up to a 45 degree angle, with the top few inches left exposed. The ground rod when a ferrous material, made of iron or steel shall be 5/8 - 3/4 inch thick. Non ferrous rods, such as copper should be free of any non-conductive material and should not be less than a 1/2 inch thick. Most jurisdictions call for a ground system of 25 ohms or less. While you can't get it to zero ohms, you can more than likely get to 25 ohms with proper conditions and if the ground rod is properly installed. If getting to 25 ohms or less can not be achieved than a second ground rod can be installed at a spacing of at least 6' apart. Most ground rods will have an etched label on their top. If the label is missing and/or the top is rusted it is likely that the rod has been cut. Electricians have been known to cut the rod when they have difficulty installing the entire length into the ground. This violates code and is a safety hazard.
Proper grounding of the electric service main panel is essential in protecting a home and it's occupants. Ground rods along with it's connections should be replaced every 30 years or sooner, since they can and will deteriorate.
At this San Antonio area New Home Pre Move In Inspection the ground rod was not visible as seen, as my associate pulled back the freshly laid sod in search of it. The ground rod should be visible slightly above ground level at the main electric panel, meter area. In many cases the ground round has been covered up by dirt, sod, landscaping, etc. In this case at the re-inspection requested by my clients- the homebuyers, the builders construction manager offered to dig up the area to prove to the homebuyers that the ground rod was there, since our original inspection report noted that the ground rod was not visible as required to be able to verify it's presence.
and then a ground rod was actually brought to the home site and installed as seen in the photo below.
This photo shows all the needed components present for a proper grounding rod system- The Ground Rod, Wire and Clamp. Unfortunetley the connection of the clamp to ground rod and wire is detached due to deterioration/corrosion from over the years and should all be replaced.

Another bug has been discovered in Windows 10, adding to the list of reasons why users may want to defer upgrading.
The latest issue with Microsoft's new operating system centres on the Start menu and seems to affect users with more than 512 application shortcuts.
A number of Windows 10 users are being affected, using the Microsoft forums to explain the problem. Essentially, it appears as though there is a limit of 512 apps that can appear in the Start menu. Once this number has been exceeded, some of the program shortcuts will not appear, although it appears to be random as to which software is removed.
Microsoft program manager Arunjeet Singh reassured users that the problem was being investigated.
For many users, deleting apps until there are fewer than 512 won't be an option, which means they can either opt to use a third-party Start menu or avoid Windows 10 until an update has been issued.
Although the latest bug will certainly come as an annoyance, minor faults are to be expected when a new operating system is launched. As well as the app shortcut problem, users have also experienced difficulties activating the new OS and performance issues when using Google Chrome.

People In China Are Buying Bottled Fresh Air
The city of Beijing faces very serious issues in terms of air pollution. The notoriously smog-filled city in China has raised its smog alert from orange to red in the later parts of 2015. During that time, demand for bottled fresh air from Vitality Air were through the roof. The Canadian company has seen huge interest from the people of Beijing, who realize how serious the pollution in the city has become. When the product was first sold on eBay in 2014, it was sealed off in Ziploc bags and was priced at just 99 cents. A single can of the bottled Rocky Mountain air sold for $32 apiece at the end of 2015.

The present work is aimed to investigate the linear regression model of total coliform (TC), faecal coliform (FC) and enterococci (ENT) responses in the storage system of sewage effluents at different temperatures (room temperature 25 ± 2 °C, 55 and 65 °C). Five litres (v/v) of sewage effluent samples was stored at room temperature (25 ± 2 °C) for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. In order to investigate the response of bacteria to the storage system at thermal conditions, the sewage samples were stored at the temperatures of 55 and 65 °C in a water bath shaker for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 min, respectively. The results indicated that the storage system at room temperature significantly (p < 0.01) effected the reduction of TC (33%), FC (36.6%) and ENT (47.8%). Moreover, sewage effluent met WHO guidelines after two weeks of storage period at room temperature. The storage system at 55 and 65 °C had more significant influence (p < 0.01) on TC, FC and ENT. The reductions for TC, FC and ENT were 49.6 versus 64, 47.7 versus 83.2% and 47.4 versus 57.3%, respectively. ENT (Gram-positive bacteria) exhibited more resistance to the storage system at 65 °C than TC and FC (both are Gram-negative bacteria). This might be due to the differences in the cell wall structure. It can be concluded that the storage system of sewage effluents has a significant potential for the reduction of indicator bacteria.

Person-centered therapy, also known as person-centered psychotherapy, person-centered counseling, client-centered therapy and Rogerian psychotherapy, is a form of psychotherapy developed by psychologist Carl Rogers beginning in the 1940s and extending into the 1980s. Person-centered therapy seeks to facilitate a client's self-actualizing tendency, "an inbuilt proclivity toward growth and fulfillment", via acceptance (unconditional positive regard), therapist congruence (genuineness), and empathic understanding.

History and influences
Person-centered therapy was developed by Carl Rogers in the 1940s and 1950s, and was brought to public awareness largely through his highly influential book Client-centered Therapy, published in 1951. It has been recognized as one of the major types of psychotherapy (theoretical orientations), along with psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, classical Adlerian psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, and others. Its underlying theory arose from the results of empirical research; it was the first theory of therapy to be driven by empirical research, with Rogers at pains to reassure other theorists that "the facts are always friendly". Originally called non-directive therapy, it "offered a viable, coherent alternative to Freudian psychotherapy. ... [Rogers] redefined the therapeutic relationship to be different from the Freudian authoritarian pairing."

Person-centered therapy is often described as a humanistic therapy, but its main principles appear to have been established before those of humanistic psychology. Some have argued that "it does not in fact have much in common with the other established humanistic therapies", but by the mid-1960s Rogers accepted being categorized with other humanistic (or phenomenological-existential) psychologists in contrast to behavioral and psychoanalytic psychologists. Despite the importance of the self to person-centered theory, the theory is fundamentally organismic and holistic in nature, with the individual's unique self-concept at the center of the unique "sum total of the biochemical, physiological, perceptual, cognitive, emotional and interpersonal behavioural subsystems constituting the person".

Rogers coined the term counselling in the 1940s because at that time psychologists were not legally permitted to provide psychotherapy in the US. Only medical practitioners were allowed to use the term psychotherapy to describe their work.

Rogers affirmed individual personal experience as the basis and standard for living and therapeutic effect. This emphasis contrasts with the dispassionate position which may be intended in other therapies, particularly the behavioral therapies. Hallmarks of Rogers's person-centered therapy include: living in the present rather than the past or future; organismic trust; naturalistic faith in one's own thoughts and the accuracy in one's feelings; a responsible acknowledgment of one's freedom; and a view toward participating fully in our world and contributing to other peoples' lives. Rogers also claimed that the therapeutic process is, in essence, composed of the accomplishments made by the client. The client, having already progressed further along in their growth and maturation development, only progresses further with the aid of a psychologically favored environment.

Although client-centered therapy has been criticized by behaviorists for lacking structure and by psychoanalysts for actually providing a conditional relationship, it has been shown to be an effective treatment.

The necessary and sufficient conditions
Rogers (1957; 1959) stated that there are six necessary and sufficient conditions required for therapeutic change:

 Therapist–client psychological contact: A relationship between client and therapist must exist, and it must be a relationship in which each person's perception of the other is important.
 Client incongruence: Incongruence (as defined by Carl Rogers; "a lack of alignment between the real self and the ideal self") exists between the client's experience and awareness.
 Therapist congruence, or genuineness: The therapist is congruent within the therapeutic relationship; the therapist is deeply involved—they are not "acting"—and they can draw on their own experiences (self-disclosure) to facilitate the relationship.
 Therapist unconditional positive regard: The therapist accepts the client unconditionally, without judgment, disapproval, or approval. This facilitates increased self-regard in the client, as they can begin to become aware of experiences in which their view of self-worth was distorted or denied.
 Therapist empathic understanding: The therapist experiences an empathic understanding of the client's internal frame of reference. Accurate empathy on the part of the therapist helps the client believe the therapist's unconditional regard for them.
 Client perception: The client perceives, to at least a minimal degree, the therapist's unconditional positive regard and empathic understanding.

Core conditions
It is believed that the most important factor in successful person-centered therapy is the relational climate created by the therapist's attitude to their client. The therapist's attitude is defined by the three conditions focused on the therapist, which are often called the core conditions (3,4, and 5 of the six conditions):
 Congruence: The therapist is willing to transparently relate to clients without hiding behind a professional or personal facade.
 Unconditional positive regard: The therapist offers an acceptance and prizing of their client for who they are without conveying disapproving feelings, actions, or characteristics and demonstrating a willingness to attentively listen without interruption, judgement, or giving advice.
 Empathy: The therapist communicates their desire to understand and appreciate their client's perspective.

Processes
Rogers believed that a therapist who embodies the three critical and reflexive attitudes (the three core conditions) will help liberate their client to more confidently express their true feelings without fear of judgement. To achieve this, the client-centered therapist carefully avoids directly challenging their client's way of communicating themselves in the session in order to enable a deeper exploration of the issues most intimate to them and free from external referencing. Rogers was not prescriptive in telling his clients what to do, but believed that the answers to the clients' questions were within the client and not the therapist. Accordingly, the therapist's role was to create a facilitative, empathic environment wherein the client could discover the answers for themselves.

Executives Beware: The Long-Arm of the U.S. Government Strikes Again
April 7, 2014 Editorcriminal, criminalisation, extradition Leave a comment
Following up on our initial DOJ extradition victory post last week, here is a more in-depth look at the recent developments in worldwide criminal antitrust cases, and notably their overlap with parallel corruption / fraud / FCPA investigations. Paul Hastings and Nortons Inc. – jointly covering North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa – have extensive experience handling the defense of competition-law and FCPA-based investigations into multi-national corporations and individual executives. The piece below was written by Jeremy Evans, partner in Paul Hastings' D.C. office, and AAT editor Andreas Stargard, in Brussels.
The long-arm of the U.S. government and its increasing willingness to pursue foreign nationals for alleged violations of U.S. law was further in evidence last Friday when the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Justice Department announced (press release here) that it had extradited Romano Pisciotti, an Italian national, from Germany to the U.S. on a charge filed more than 3½ years ago that he participated in a price-fixing cartel involving the sale of marine hose.
(Full PDF of article )
Ian Norris, then-CEO of Morgan Crucible, sentenced to serve 18 months in federal U.S. prison
Pisciotti is the first foreign national to be extradited to the U.S. purely for an antitrust charge, although he joins a large number of foreign nationals in recent years to have been charged criminally by the Division in cartel cases, many of whom have agreed to plea deals requiring them to serve time in U.S. prisons. The Antitrust Division is not alone in its pursuit of foreign nationals; the Fraud Division of the Justice Department has also pursued extraditions of foreign nationals for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") in recent years. Indeed, Pisciotti follows his countryman Flavio Ricotti, who, in 2010, also was arrested in Germany and extradited to the U.S. following his indictment on an FCPA charge. It is clear that in both antitrust cartel and FCPA investigations, the U.S. government is growing ever-confident in its power and ability to bring uncooperative foreign executives to the U.S. to face criminal charges in the U.S., even for conduct that occurred outside the U.S.
The Marine Hose Investigation
Pisciotti's extradition is the latest chapter in the long-running marine hose cartel investigation. In May 2007, the Antitrust Division arrested eight foreign nationals traveling on business in the U.S. and charged them for their roles in an antitrust conspiracy involving the sale of marine hose used to transport oil. The Division's investigation was part of a multi-national law enforcement effort that included the European Commission and the U.K.'s Office of Fair Trading and much of the conduct at issue was alleged to have happened overseas. In the years that followed, the Antitrust Division secured over $54 million in fines from five companies, and nine individuals served jail time arising from their alleged involvement in the cartel. Two of these dispositions are worth particular note. The first involved the separate plea agreements by Bridgestone Corporation and Misao Hioki, a Japanese executive, each of which agreed to plead guilty to both an antitrust charge for involvement in the alleged conspiracy, as well as an FCPA charge relating to corrupt payments to government officials in various Latin American countries. These appear to be the only instances in which either a company or an executive has pled to both antitrust and FCPA charges arising from the same investigation. The second involved three British executives arrested in the U.S. at the onset of the investigation. Under a unique arrangement, the three were charged and sentenced by authorities in both the U.S. and the U.K., but the U.S. plea deals permitted them to return to the U.K. where they served their prison sentences concurrently.
Prior to Pisciotti's extradition, the last criminal disposition involving an executive in the marine hose investigation occurred in 2009. But, what was not publicly known until recently is that the Antitrust Division had secured a sealed indictment of Pisciotti in August 2010 alleging that he rigged bids, fixed prices, and allocated markets in the sale of marine hose. It was this indictment that led to Pisciotti's arrest in Germany last June and the subsequent extradition proceedings. The Division likely followed the same procedure that it did with Ricotti in the earlier FCPA case, using Pisciotti's sealed indictment to obtain an Interpol red notice, effectively an international arrest warrant. Under the principle of reciprocal or dual criminality, countries often will only extradite individuals to the U.S. if an extradition treaty exists between the two countries that requires a person's conduct to be a crime in both countries. Bid rigging is a criminal offense in Germany, thus ensnaring Pisciotti transiting through Germany on business travel and leading to his arrest in a country prepared to extradite him. Pisciotti was flown to Miami on Thursday and arraigned in federal court the following day. He now faces charges that could result in a maximum of 10 years in prison and $1 million in criminal fines.
The U.S. Government and the Ever-Shrinking World
Bill Baer, the assistant attorney general of the Antitrust Division, heralded Pisciotti's "first of its kind extradition" as a "significant step" in the Division's cooperation efforts with foreign antitrust enforcers. And, while it marks a new frontier for the Division, it can also be viewed as merely the latest example of the aggressive approach taken by the U.S. government in recent years toward foreign executives in international cartel and bribery cases. A little over a decade ago, the Division agreed to permit foreign executives in cartel cases to plead guilty and serve prison sentences of just a few months. But the more recent plea deals announced in seemingly ever-expanding auto parts cartel cases have seen well over twenty foreign executives face up to two years in jail.
Our experience in these and other cases also teaches that the Antitrust Division will routinely seek U.S. prison terms for conduct that occurred not merely partially or largely outside the U.S., but indeed was wholly undertaken on foreign soil. The example of Pisciotti's extradition powerfully reaffirms that executives now must worry about the possibility of being extradited to the U.S. if they refuse to cooperate with the Antitrust Division and plead guilty in a cartel investigation, even in situations where the conduct at issue occurred exclusively or mostly overseas. This is in part because an increasing number of countries have criminalized antitrust conduct, or are in the process of doing so, meaning that there are now more jurisdictions than ever willing to extradite an executive for cartel offenses, either at home or when traveling abroad, even in situations where a sealed indictment may leave the executive ignorant of any potential risk.
These same government tactics exist in bribery and FCPA cases. Flavio Ricotti and Ousama Naaman are but two examples of foreign nationals who were extradited to the U.S. in the last five years to face FCPA charges, each apprehended overseas after the U.S. government obtained an indictment in federal court, and each charged based on conduct outside of the U.S. It appears that the U.S. government will continue to take an aggressive enforcement approach toward uncooperative executives, further highlighting the concern for senior foreign executives and their companies caught up in cartel and FCPA investigations.

I have focused my career on how the use of design, images and words shapes the narrative of our collective global community. Specifically, analyzing how technology influences our perceptions, well-being, behavior and, most importantly, our learning process. This portfolio represents my ongoing exploration of design, education and consulting.


Are we living in an age of technological optimism or technological pessimism?
In "The Idea of 'Technology' and Postmodern Pessimism," Leo Marx, a leading historian of technology and American culture, argues that while technological optimism had been the default mode of American culture throughout most of its history, technological pessimism asserted itself to an unprecedented degree in the second half of the twentieth century. His essay traces the roots of what he terms "postmodern pessimism" in the earlier, dominant technological optimism and the evolution of our terminology for what comes to be known as "technology." This latter semantic history, not unlike that which undergirds his more recent "Technology: The Emergence of a Hazardous Concept," throws light on significant shifts in the nature of technology in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These shifts fuel a new way of conceptualizing technology which in turn becomes a precondition for the emergence of technological pessimism.
But then come the shifts Marx perceives in the concept of technology. The first development is artifactual, it relates to the actual technological artifacts. The introduction of mechanical, chemical, and electric power led to the development of "large-scale, complex, hierarchical, centralized systems," examples of which include the railroads and electrical power systems. In other words, these new technologies are no longer discreet artifacts, more or less independent in their function; they are vast, technological systems.
The second important development is ideological. The earlier Enlightenment notion of progress viewed technology as a necessary, but not sufficient cause of progress which was understood as a movement toward "a more just, republican society." This political vision was gradually replaced by a technocratic notion of progress which amounted merely to the continued improvement of technology.
Alongside these artifactual and ideological transformations, the terminology applied to the phenomena in question was also evolving. Older words or phrases for what we today would simply label technology included the "mechanical arts" or the "practical arts" — it was an older nomenclature better fitted to traditional, craft based technologies. But this terminology seemed inadequate to describe the reality of emerging complex technological systems. Marx points to Thomas Carlyle's 1829 essay, "Signs of the Times," as an instance of the search for a new vocabulary with which to name the shifting technological landscape. Carlyle suggested that his was an "Age of Machinery," but by "machinery" he meant more than the material machines themselves. Included in the term was the "mechanical philosophy" associated with Descartes and Locke, the systematic division of labor, and the emergence of bureaucratic organization.
By the late nineteenth century the "abstract, sociologically and politically neutral … word 'technology,' with its tacit claim to being a distinctive, independent mode of thought and practice like 'science,' began to fill the semantic void. In Marx's view, it would not be until the 1930's that the term would achieve "truly wide currency." By mid-century it was used more or less as we use it today, to denote a remarkably wide array of tools and techniques, singularly and in complex combination.
Recalling the second, ideological development, the semantic evolution just describe took place alongside of related evolution in the concept of "progress." The development of technology had been previously understood to be a means to the end of constructing a "just, republican society." By the late nineteenth century the advance of technology was synonymous with "progress"; it was the no longer a means, it was the end.
Marx again: "At this time … the simple republican formula for generating progress by directing improved technical means to societal ends was imperceptibly transformed into a quite different technocratic commitment to improving 'technology' as the basis and the measure of — as all but constituting — the progress of society." For a discussion of the visual and artistic representation of this development in the nineteenth century see an earlier post, "The Art of Technology and Empire." Marx cites the Italian Futurists, Mondrian, the Precisionists and Constructivists, Le Corbusier, and the International Style as later twentieth century symptoms of the shift in values.
Finally, returning to the topic of the essay, "postmodern pessimism," Marx concludes that amidst the smoldering ruins of World War II the techno-utopianism dissolved. The disenchantment with technology, exhibited since the early nineteenth century by an "adversary culture" with roots in the Romantic critique of the Enlightenment, now gained traction with the wider culture. It was all the more plausible because of the way "technology" had been invested with autonomous, casual agency and the manner in which progress and technology had been elided. Ironically, the postmodern critique of modernist technological systems often came hand in hand with a valorization of new electronic and digital means of communication; this, in Marx's view, merely replaces one technocracy with another.
Some thoughts to wrap up. First, the history Marx traces, both semantic and ideological, is important in its own right. Also, Marx makes an important point regarding the power of our categories to shape our thinking. If we feel a loss of agency in the face of modern technological systems, is it in part because of the adoption of the abstract language of "technology"? Perhaps. But, as Marx shows, the term filled a real semantic void, and these systems are real enough as is there inertia or momentum.
This essay also reminded me of my recent exchange with PJ Rey regarding his essay on trust in complex technologies. These complex systems may make us more aware of our embeddedness in social reality, but because of the sense of a loss of agency that they can engender I suspect it is a rather angst ridden sociality that we partake of. My sense is still that it is not quite "trust" we have in these systems, much less in the experts who designed them, so much as it is a cheery apathy or indifference born out of an inability to imagine an alternative to acquiescence. Those who resist may appear to be misanthropic cranks, but their resistance may have more to do with a distrust in the system (warranted or not), than some sort of misplace individualism.
Update: Take a look at Doug Hill's thoughtful comment on Marx's view in the comments section of the following post.


The Ronald McDonald Auckland Domain House is situated on the Auckland City Hospital site and is just a 2-minute stroll from Starship Children's Hospital.
New Ronald McDonald House accommodation opened in March 2011, called Grafton Mews House. This new accommodation is located just a short walk down the hill from the Auckland Hospital Site. See the website above for further information.

Q: Does shared index on Oracle table leads to deadlock? I am aware that unindexed foreign key in a child table can potentially lead to ORA-00060: deadlock. Similarly can a shared index can cause deadlock.
I have shared index in the following scenario,
class TableA {
int tableAId;
List<TableB> listOfTableB;
}

class TableB {
String name;
}

Related hibernate mapping (partial),
<list cascade="all,delete-orphan" name="listOfTableB" table="TableB">
        <key column="tableAId" />
        <index column="idx"/>
        <composite-element class="TableB">
            <property name="name" column="name" not-null="true" />
        </composite-element>
</list>

Using the above code, in DB it is creating a shared index (index of same name) for 'tableAId' and 'idx' in TableB.
In this scenario should I add a separate index for 'tableAId' alone inaddition to existing shared index to avoid deadlock ? Or the existing index itself is enough?

A: If you have an index on tableAId, idx then there is probably (almost always) no benefit in also having an index on tableAid alone.  There is no danger of deadlock from this.

The main opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has called for independent bodies to carry out special investigations over the fire which gutted Malawi Electoral Commission warehouse in Lilongwe in 2014 just a day before recounting of votes for the Lilongwe City South East constituency where the ruling DPP Bentry Namasasu was controversially declared winner against the MCP's candidate Ulemu Msungama.
MCP publicity secretary Jessie Kabwila, MCP director of elections Maxwell Thyolera, and Ulemu Msungama took turns at a news conference in accusing the Inspector General of Police, Lexten Kachama for his comment.
that gutted MEC warehouse. Kachama described the fire as mere accidental.
But reacting to the statement, Kabwila said the warehouse was deliberately touched by the regime agent in order to disturb vote recounting and defeat justice.
Kabwila said the incident was a product of "fear and anger" which Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) had against vote recounting.
"We all know that from the word go DPP was against vote recounting that is why they rushed to court and got stay order against the same and after the court ruling for recounting, the same people derailed the by-elections by going to the Supreme Court of appeal now it is very strange for the IG to come in to clear DPP? By the events here it shows the IG has an agenda of trying to clear DPP from the mess," said Kabwira.
In his remarks, Ulemu Msungama said he was also very surprised when he heard from the IG comment that the fire and yet he well knew events which led to the fire.
Msungama said the IG was not in Malawi and he followed all the events.
He said the IG comment will jeopardise the outcome of the report since some of the people investigating and preparing the report are his officers who cannot work against his expectations.
During the inferno, several gas cylinders, lamps which Malawi borrowed from Zimbabwe and a total of 1,500 ballot boxes were destroyed.
MCP nayo tulo too much.Just after the last ended elections, they should have worked on a bill to change the electoral systems so that we dont suffer the way we are suffering now under these thugs and crooks.
They just want to destroy,destroy and destroy. Do you think Peter is thinking positive of malawians. He hates us!!!!!
This IG should simply join DPP. He is so daft. We all know what happened.

Q: ICollectionView.SortDescriptions sort does not work if underlying DataTable has zero rows We have a WPF app that has a DataGrid inside a ListView.
private DataTable table_;

We do a bunch or dynamic column generation ( depending on the report we are showing )
We then do the a query and fill the DataTable row by row, this query may or may not have data.( not the problem, an empty grid is expected )
We set the ListView's ItemsSource to the DefaultView of the DataTable.
lv.ItemsSource = table_.DefaultView;

We then (looking at the user's pass usage of the app, set the sort on the column)
Sort Method below:
private void Sort(string sortBy, ListSortDirection direction)
{
 ICollectionView dataView = CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(lv.ItemsSource);

 dataView.SortDescriptions.Clear();

 var sd = new SortDescription(sortBy, direction);

 dataView.SortDescriptions.Add(sd);

 dataView.Refresh();
}

In the Zero DataTable rows scenario, the sort does not "hold"? and if we dynamically add rows they will not be in sorted order.
If the DataTable has at-least 1 row when the sort is applied, and we dynamically add rows to the DataTable, the rows com in sorted correctly.
I have built a standalone app that replicate this...
It is an annoyance and I can add a check to see if the DataTable was empty, and re-apply the sort...
Anyone know whats going on here, and am I doing something wrong?
FYI: What we based this off if comes from the MSDN as well: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms745786.aspx
Update:
the sort not "holding" means, the ICollectionView.SortDescriptions has a SortDescription, but is not sorting the data as its added,
again only happens if there is no rows in the underlying DataTable if there are rows when the SortDescription is added, then everything works out fine~

A: Clearly this is a GUI bug.  It would be nice to work around it on the GUI level not on the data level. Here is one suggestion.
DataTable table_ = new DataSet1().DataTable1;
ICollectionView dv_;

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    dv_ = CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(table_);
    dv_.CollectionChanged += new System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler(dv_CollectionChanged);

    lv.ItemsSource = dv_;
}
void dv_CollectionChanged(object sender, System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{

    if (e.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add && table_.Rows.Count == 1 )
        dv_.Refresh();
}


What tools and methods are there available for making a game accessible for players who may be blind or visually impaired? I want to include accessibility systems like configurable keyboard shortcuts and a color-blind mode, for example; as well as making the game interface usable with a screen reader, if possible. Has anyone ever tried that or done it successfully with a Unity-based game?
The game interface/screen reader is more difficult; very nice post below I edited this comment in response.
Colorblind modes are a bit of a last resort, what you really want is for the game to simply be colourblind friendly from the outset. The primary way of doing that is ensuring that no information is conveyed by a colour alone - also using symbols, patterns, etc. Then also keeping an eye out for contrast issues, as depending on the type of colour vision deficiency you have certain colours will appear darker (most commonly red, so red on a black background can be problematic).
getyour411 isn't quite right about screenreaders. How much you can do with screenreaders depends entirely on how your engine interacts with and is perceived by the operating system, so it is absolutely a Unity specific question.
Normally by far the easiest way to go about screenreader compatibility is to do it for mobile games (iOS in particular), where it can be done for not too much effort, and many more game mechanics are suited to it too, thanks to the mobile screenreaders being based on touch, allowing blind players to essentially visualise the layout of the screen.. compared to desktop screenreaders, which result in a simple linear view of which elements are present.
However not if you're using Unity. Unity is sadly not compatible.
For desktop, it normally means interfacing with the windows accessibility API. I'm not sure if that's possible in Unity, but there's a workaround option that might be easier to achieve, which is to simply output text descriptions to the clipboard any time an element recieves focus or an important event occurs. That way blind gamers can use a clipboard addon for their screenreader to have all of the text spoken to them.
It's not a standard approach so you would need to make it abundantly clear that it is possible, but for the people that find out about it, it does work - Skullgirls is now completely screenreader accessible on the PC as a result, for very little effort. Might be worth contacting Mike Zaimont about it, he's who implemented it.
If you do want to go down the route of blind accessibility, make sure you speak to the various communities - the audiogames forums, the audyssey mailing list, and also the applevis forums too if you're going for iOS. Blind gamers are a fantastic bunch, they'll happily test for you and give you loads of good constructive feedback.
Do you have full GDC vault access? If so there was a panel on blind-accessibility this year.
One thing to bear in mind is that legally blind doesn't mean no vision, most blind people have some degree of residual vision, so if you can just make it generally accessible to vision impairments you'll still reach a fair few legally blind gamers who just play by sitting close to a large screen.
So that means things like good contrast, large elements, large clear text, and so on. You could even go as far as an option to increase contrast by disabling / fading out the background, as seen in Epic Eric, Shoot1UP, and My Ex Boyfriend the Space Tyrant.
Hi there, I hope I'm not late to the party. I know the thread is a little old, but others might have the same question and stumble upon this thread during their Google search. That's how I ended up here.
hi. well a keyboard short cut to turn off and disable the start screen. nvda is the only screen reader that seems to read it fine, windows narrator struggles, jaws does not read at all. okay, the tree view and selection view, nvda, jaws does not read, and windows narrator struggles. doing a gaming and digital media course from http://www.upskilled.edu.au and also a blind computer user using jaws 2018, latest update, windows 10 64 bit pro on a toshiba satellite pro laptop. and also make the able to go to the script and also have labels for the scene, some way able to hear coordinats, and able to place game and other objects, tell when it collides, etc, thanks.ps: and a set of hot keys also, to do general things, like able to pick which new game you want to build, not able to do that in the new game dialog. does need a bit of work. so if you are willing to build a scripts or scripts, fine. unity says they are developing a more user interface for the blind, but not a high priority. the only way to get them to make it mroe accessible, is through littergation, like a case having the nfb or acb represent and saying unity is breaching accessibility standards as based in the states. so, if you want to contact me my e-mail is: startrekcafe@gmail.com, for any more info. thanks. ps: nvda does work some what, but cannot read some parts of the gui. have not really exploed the other settings, as did a intro tutorial, a rolling ball game, and also had to have a sighted friend remote in and set up the external editor for visual studio, the edit and other menus, and the dialog, no keyboard short cuts.

HOLY MOLE! It's the first race of the year. It's that time where all the new faces and some old come out and you'll finally greet your new competitors for the new season and see where we stand on the first race. We get to greet our friends and see some faces we haven't seen out in a while making their comebacks.
Starting off with the Saturday practice, I spent most of the day dialing in the suspension to grip. It was a learning experience for me since I'm not too familiar with setting up suspension on the car. I was asked by Cusco to drive their car for 1-2 runs. It felt very different compared to our own FR Sport BRZ. The set up between the 2 cars was very different. It's always interesting to sit in different cars and feel how they handle versus what I've been training with all of 2014.
Technically, the FRSport BRZ went through so many changes last season that it was a completely new car every race. It really kept me on my toes! I was able to get the R-SR Coilovers close to my driving style and hoped my co-driver could either pull miracles or adapt well. On Sunday, the event staff opened up the event with a trophy presentation with the Rising Star awards for male and female competitors of 2014. I was selected for the Rising Female Star 2014 Award. It was an incredible honor. I'm seriously terrible being in front of people, so I quickly jumped out of the spotlight and back to my friends.
STX drove first that day so we moved the car into grid. My new co-driver for 2015 is Alex Valencia. He's been around in the autocross scene for a while and it's been very fun working with him so far. After his 4 runs, he was standing in 1st place in the class which meant I maybe did something right on dialing in the suspension the day before. Thank goodness!
It was then my turn to drive. I drove to feel the course and didn't feel like I saw the course right. In the end, I got 5th place. It's a reminder that I needed to practice big time! I'm super happy my co-driver got first and our other sponsored driver Derek Punch took 2nd place in the class. Max, our driver in the WRX, also got 1st place in D Street Class. It was an amazing first event. I have a lot to learn still and much to improve if I really want to drive better, and I do want to get a lot faster.

I agree with Peter Schiff, unless drastic changes are made we will be a third world nation with a weak military and owned by some other nation, that is our fate, there will be no real economic recovery and we will slide into a very deep depression that lasts for many years.
Tue urban life style will be over as we will ride bikes and live in over crowded government housing. I think at that point Sweden is looking pretty good.
I don't think we'll have to wait that long. There may be an uptick in the short run; but it doesn't look so good for anyone who doesn't plan on dying within the next decade.
It goes deeper than just turning America into a 3rd world nation. It's about destroying the sovereignty of all nations and "uniting" the world under a one world dictatorship.
Most of our workforce, even the College Grads, barely have the skills to work at Slave Mart. If you don't believe me, get them into a situation where they have to make change without an electronic device.
Ignorance and illiteracy are far beyond astounding.
Job #2 - govern those who consent.
Then read about conscription of the militia, in the Articles of Confederation and the USCON.
Isn't conscription (Selective Service) a violation of one's right to life, liberty, and so forth?
(a)...it shall be the duty of every male CITIZEN of the United States, and every other male person RESIDING in the United States, who, on the day or days fixed for the first or any subsequent registration, is between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six, to present himself for and submit to registration at such time or times and place or places, and in such manner, as shall be determined by proclamation of the President and by rules and regulations prescribed hereunder.
If "everyone" born in the U.S.A. are U.S. citizens, and male U.S. citizens are obligated to serve in the militia, isn't that involuntary servitude?
Or is citizenship a voluntary assertion?
Their conscription laws make no mention of American nationals, so they really haven't violated Job #1 of the Declaration of Independence.
You didn't know that anyone born of American parents, in America, are American nationals?
And that residents reside at residences, while inhabitants dwell at domiciles?
i think your post is pretty spot on! the one thing that americans need to do, actually have to do, is stop the cap and trade agenda! it is no coincidence that al gore happily announced that cap and trade would drive change through "global governance and global agreements."
unfortunately, the US will be doing the sacrificing, particularly the workers,(being forced to pay higher energy prices on an individual level), while on the world stage this energy tax will affect our ability to be competitive, costing the united states jobs, growth, and future prosperity.
it isn't called a global "scheme" for nothing!
[/indent]If "everyone" born in the U.S.A. are U.S. citizens, and male U.S. citizens are obligated to serve in the militia, isn't that involuntary servitude?
A person born in the USA may have an entitlement to citizenship to another country, as well, and may opt for that country's citizenship. But if that person remains in the USA, then the USA recognizes only the USA citizenship, unless the person declares his foreign citizenship and remains in the USA as an alien, subject to those restrictions.
Furthermore, a person who does not volunteer for the servitude has the option of freely and without duress withdrawing from the USA, and renouncing his citizenship, which terminates both the rights and the responsibilities of American nationalism.
The world is already united under one world dictatorship, and the President of the United States has the executive power to command the US military to strike anywhere in the world in order to enforce the president's unilateral executive orders. Might makes right, and Bush proved that executive orders are pretty much unlimited with respect to our activities overseas. In terms of domestic affairs, the president is limited only to the degree that what he wants to do might not be worth the trouble of having to fight off a revolution at home.
It's very simple. When there is an invincible military force, the commander in chief of that force is the de-facto dictator of the world.
I am becoming more of a homebody. I am learning to do more for myself, so that I am not paying other people to. That saves money. My meals are more labor intensive, and taste better than "insta meals." I go out of my way to bargain hunt. I rarely buy new clothes, because, in the long run, they don't last. 99 cent sox won't last as long as a pair of ten dollar socks. I learned that the hard way. Maybe I am just getting to be an old fuddy duddy, but I learned from my elders, and I am never short of cash. The economy will improve when people drop some of the things that they think they can't live without.
The economy will improve when people drop some of the things that they think they can't live without.
The economy IS the things they think they can't live without. If we eliminate those things and learn to live without them, we will also eliminate half the jobs. The jobs in the pop-tart factory.
It's like going to a doctor that can't do anything about the cause of your pain, but can treat you to manage your pain. You're not fixing the economy, you are learning to live with it's degeneration.
That's about it '70% of teh economy is the consumer.The markets ahve adjusted to lower inventories;cut owrkers and nothing is goign anyhwere much unless the consumer comes back. Ohterwsie its a foreign market economy more and more .


Each vase was filled with colored water and oil in layers. How they kept those colors from mixing I don't know. Then the vases were surrounded by displays of patent medicine that had to be cleaned and dusted, and once a week the windows had to be washed and redecorated.
"You walked through the front door onto a tile floor with showcases on each side and a soda fountain on one side in front. Behind the cases on one side were interminable rows and rows of bottles with those Latin abbreviations on them. One in particular I remember because Mr. Clinton told me to be careful not to break it. He said no more Icy Toed Feet were to be obtained. The mark on the bottle was Ici. Toed. Foet. I never found out what it was.
"In the closet under the prescription case, which faced the front and shut off the view of the back end of the store, was an assortment of whiskey bottles. Early in the morning, sometimes before Mr. Clinton arrived, the good church members and Anti-Saloon Leaguers would arrive for their early morning drinks behind the prescription case at 10 cents an ounce. They would wipe their mouths, peep through the observation hole in the front of the case and depart.
"The procedure gave a 14-year old boy quite a viewpoint on the public front of leading citizens and 'amen-corner praying' churchmen.
"There were saloons aplenty around the Square in Independence and many leading men in town made no bones about going into them and buying a drink. I learned to think more highly of them than I did of the prescription counter drinkers.
In the fall of 1901, after graduation from high school, Mr. Truman worked for a contractor as a timekeeper on the Santa Fe Railroad. He kept his job until the contract was finished, living in hobo camps along the Missouri River where the Santa Fe ran.
Mr. Truman became familiar with hobos and their viewpoints, and learned what it meant to work 10 hours a day for $1.50. The contractor paid 30 cents an hour for a wagon team of horses and a driver.
"The pay-off took place in a saloon either in Sheffield or Independence," Mr. Truman recalled. "The object in paying the men in the saloon was to give them a chance to spend all their money right there and guarantee their being back to work on Monday morning. The checks were time checks and were signed by me as timekeeper. My pay was $35 per month and board, and I received a very down-to-earth education in the handling of men."


The fastest way to tighter groups.
GROUP SHOOTER™ is the most simplistic and practical diagnostic target allowing for both instant analysis and clear instructions for correcting every shot. After placing one or several shots on the target, the shooter identifies the area of their shot or group and follows that sector to the outer shaded edge. Here the shooter is able to quickly identify the problem and learn how to apply recommended corrections. Instructions are included for both right and left handed shooters in each sector.
Group-Shooter also includes the fundamentals of handgun and rifle shooting explained clearly to teach or remind the shooter of proper technique.

A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has reacted to the crisis rocking the ruling party under the leadership of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
The former APC Chairman expressed sadness over the current crisis but expressed confidence that the ongoing peace moves will yield expected results.
Oyegun, who spoke with reporters at his Abuja residence Wednesday, Oyegun said he didn't know anyone who is happy with the instability situation within the party.
"We need to begin to confront the election in February next year which given the state of the nation, are bound to be challenging," he said, even as he appealed that every effort be made to establish peace such that the party will approach the general elections as a united force, rallying around a united program of action.
"Well, I can say something for sure that I am not happy as to state of peace or the relative instability in the party. I don't think I know someone who is happy today about that but like I said earlier, there are peace missions that I have found all over the country and so at this point in time it will be ill of me to start saying ho, things went bad because that happened or because that did not happen but as a statesman let me not start passing my own personal judgement where there is a team out trying to broker peace, I won't be helping the situation.
"What we require is peace, I pray God give these teams the wisdom that is required to to work out the settlement to bring the party back to strong political fighting force.
"As far as my own party is concerned, well I have only one appeal, that there should be peace and that Every effort should be made to establish Peace such that we will approach the elections a united force, a united voice a united party, rallying around a united program of action.
"There is no doubt about it that there are very serious disputations within the party. And I'm very very glad that peace teams have been sent out, I was glad to run into one of these teams once while I was on private business in the Southeast. And it is my prayer that they achieve the goals for which they were set up and for the reason they have been sent out.
"But It is necessary to state that for peace to happen, there is need to emphasize that all sides must be ready to give and to take, there must be willingness for compromise, such that can bring the party back together in such a fighting mood. We need to begin to confront the election in February next year which given the state of the nation, are bound to be challenging.
"As an elder statesman, I appeal to our leaders to keep away from distractions and non issues. If you read the Social Media today you see such terrible distractions, such terrible insults, such humongous, clear patent falsehood and this seem to have become the main issues whereas they are mere distractions, absolute distractions. Whether people have certificate or not, whether they went to schools or not and quite a lot of other things, manufactured stories about individuals, prominent individuals.


This one is from a couple of months' ago when I went through a psychedelic rock phase. Still not sure if I will continue with similar music but I have a couple of tracks on the hard disk. In case I get more done it will be released under the Flowers Underneath Fruit name, either album or the band name.

Trailer for the next Fast and the Furious 'F9' finds that not all blood is family
No matter how fast you are, no one outruns their past
Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he's going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they've ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom's forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, next year's The Suicide Squad).
F9 sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of the series when it transformed into a global blockbuster. The action hurtles around the globe—from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tbilisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before. The film stars returning cast members Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel and Sung Kang, with Oscar-winner Helen Mirren and Oscar-winner Charlize Theron. F9 also features Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B as new franchise character Leysa, a woman with a connection to Dom's past, and a cameo by Reggaeton sensation Ozuna. F9 is produced by Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Joe Roth, Justin Lin, Clayton Townsend and Samantha Vincent.
Here is the official trailer for F9, which will be in theaters May 31, 2020 from Universal Pictures.

Defenseman Jakob Chychrun will be making his 2018-19 season debut for the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night in Detroit after missing the first 16 games while recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season.
His season debut is only the second biggest piece of news regarding him on Tuesday.
Less than an hour before puck drop, the Coyotes announced that the 20-year-old Chychrun has signed a six-year contract extension with the team. Financial terms of the deal were not released, but Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports it will pay him $4.6 million per season, which comes out to a total of $27.6 million over the duration of the contract.
Chychrun would have been a restricted free agent after this season.
This is the second young player the Coyotes have locked up to a long-term deal over the past few months, following the six-year, $27 million contract Christian Dvorak signed back in August.
"We are extremely pleased to sign Jakob to a six-year contract extension," general manager John Chayka said in a team statement.
The injuries that Chayka mentions have limited Chychrun, the No. 16 overall pick in the 2016 draft, to just 118 total games over the first two years of his career, making this a pretty significant commitment for a player that doesn't really have an extensive track record in the NHL. Even so, there is no doubt the potential is there, and if Chychrun is able to follow the same path he has started on and — most importantly — is able to stay healthy there is a very good chance that he can end up outperforming this contract while still being in the prime of his career when it ends (which would be good news for him).
When he has been healthy Chychrun has showed plenty of promise, especially offensively where he has already tallied 11 goals and 23 assists.
When it comes to the short-term outlook, Chychrun's return will be a big boost to a Coyotes team that has been playing some outstanding hockey over the past couple of weeks. Arizona enters Tuesday's game in Detroit as one of the league's top defensive teams and is 7-3-1 in its past 11 games.
With Chychrun in the lineup the Coyotes now have six regulars in their lineup age 22 or younger, and that does not include Dvorak (age 22) who is currently on injured reserve and yet to appear in a game this season.
They now have nine players signed through at least the 2020-21 season, with three of them (Chychrun, Dvorak, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson) signed through at least the 2024-25 season.
It would appear that injuries are pilling up on Pacific Division teams to start the season, and it's a who's who when it comes to names.
The latest is a lower-body injury for Los Angeles Kings starting goalie Jonathan Quick, who is listed as day-to-day with the ailment.
The injury reportedly happened at practice, and backup Jack Campbell has already been named the starter for Los Angeles' game on Sunday against the Detroit Red Wings.
Campbell has proven to be a capable replacement, going 2-0-2 with a 2.48 goals-against average and .924 save percentage in four starts last season.
The Kings are already without Dustin Brown, who sustained a broken finger in the preseason and needed surgery to repair it.
Bonus for Peter Budaj fans, he's back in the NHL.
Per hockey ops, Peter Budaj will be recalled to back up Jack Campbell tonight.
The injury bug has taken a chunk out of the San Jose Sharks, too, after Joe Thornton was placed on injured reserve on Sunday after flying home from the team's Eastern Conference road trip.
Jumbo Joe, 39, is dealing with swelling in his right knee, which was surgically repaired after he tore his ACL and MCL last season. Thornton has had catastrophic injuries to both of his knees now in the past two years. Despite his age, he's been averaging around 16 minutes a night with the talent-laden Sharks this season.
The Anaheim Ducks received more bad news on Sunday after it was revealed that Ryan Getzlaf is day-to-day lower-body injury after leaving Saturday's game against the Arizona Coyotes. Getzlaf joins a growing list of walking wounded in Anaheim, with Corey Perry, Patrick Eaves, Ryan Kesler and Ondrej Kase all sidelined.
Despite what seems like some big holes in the Ducks' lineup, Anaheim is 2-0 to start the season. John Gibson grabbed his first shutout of the campaign in a 1-0 win Saturday.
The Coyotes have been woeful to start the season, having yet to register a goal in their first two games.
Injuries have played a role in that, too, of course.
Alex Galchenyuk, Christian Dvorak and Jakob Chychrun are all stuck in the infirmary for the Coyotes.
The Calgary Flames are without Travis Hamonic after a fight resulted in a facial fracture for the defenseman, who is now week-to-week as he recovers.
Cody Eakin and Alex Tuch remain sidelined in Vegas.
Really, the only team to come through relatively unscathed here is Vancouver.
It's been a tough opening week on the west coast.
