I grew up in a loving and musical family. A family who visits a special world now and then.
The doors to this beautiful world opened for us when I was 3 years old (2004). We were on vacation and visited an open-air museum. In front of an ancient farmhouse there was a band playing, a band called Omnia. Later, in 2005, we went to the first Castlefest. We loved the music and the atmosphere at these events. We attended event after event from that moment on.
In the last quarter of 2014 my father (Alex) and Arjan launched this radio station called CeltCast. Their love for the music and the passion of wanting to help the musicians made this possible. The radio station grew and grew (and still is growing). CeltCast started to do live-streams and a lot more. This all required more effort and because of that some volunteers were needed.
I am one of these volunteers. Keeping the website up to date is my job. I started doing this because I needed to complete 30 hours of social work for school. But when I completed these 30 hours I realized that I didn't want to stop working for CeltCast.

The firm is reassuring customers that its teams are ready to respond should Storm Arwen
NORTHERN Powergrid is reassuring customers that its teams are ready to respond should Storm Arwen have an impact on the region's power network and supplies.
The Met Office forecast warns that Storm Arwen is expected to bring severe gales and wintry showers this weekend – with the strongest winds predicted for the North East coastal area.
Northern Powergrid said it's closely tracking the storm and has ensured it has appropriate resources in place to respond to and manage the region's power network effectively should the weather impact its network.
Rod Gardner, Northern Powergrid's major incident manager, said: "With a spell of challenging weather expected as a result of Storm Arwen, we have been busy putting plans in place to ensure that we are as best prepared as possible.
"We will be deploying resources throughout, safely and efficiently until we deal with the impact of the storm and restore power to all of our customers."

Q: Passing multiple params to stored procedure I trigger stored procedure and pass parameters from Visual Studio to SQL Server stored procedure.
Here is code:
var cId = new SqlParameter("@clientId", clientId);

var result = _context.Database.SqlQuery<DamageEventsDTL>("SPDamageEventsDTL @clientId", cId );

But I need to pass multiple parameters (int, DateTime and list of integers).
Here how I do it:
 int clientId = 5;
 DateTime date = new DateTime("2016-07-01");
 List<int> list= new List<int>(new int[] { 2, 3, 5 });

 var cId = new SqlParameter("@clientId", clientId);
 var dateEvents = new SqlParameter("@date", date);
 var freqEvents = new SqlParameter("@list ", list );

 var result = _context.Database.SqlQuery<DamageEventsDTL>("SPDamageEventsDTL @cId, @date, @list ", cId, dateEvents, list);

But it seems to be wrong way.
Any idea what I do wrong here?

A: you can also use an XML to send parameters to SQL, like this:
USE tempdb
GO
 DECLARE @Element XML;
          SET @Element='
<SavedOrderElement>
  <Data>
    <Age>5</Age>
    <Nit>46546546546</Nit>

Tag: Berliner Zeitung
The German Geert Wilders
A former member of Chancellor Merkel's Christian Democrats has formed a party to attract voters enthralled by Thilo Sarrazin and disappointed by Germany's existing parties. Berlin politician René Stadtkewitz's new Freedom Party aims to leverage fear of Islam for political ends.
For Stadtkewitz the debate that broke out after Thilo Sarrazin, the former member of the board of the German Central Bank, published a book claiming that Muslims would soon outnumber ethnic Germans and that they were dumbing down the country, went something like this: After reading Sarrazin's book, shortly after it was published, Stadtkewitz realized that he liked what he was reading. He felt validated and encouraged.
In a poll commissioned by the left-leaning newspaper Berliner Zeitung, 24 percent of Berlin residents stated that they could imagine voting for a "party directed against Islam." And a survey conducted by the Emnid opinion research firm concluded that 18 percent of Germans would vote for a Sarrazin party. A Sarrazin party doesn't even exist. But now there is one lead by René Stadtkewitz, a small business owner from Berlin's Karow district.

Greater Surveillance Of German Muslims? Some Want More Spot Checks Of German Mosques
Conservative German politicians Thursday called for increased surveillance of Germany's Muslim community following the revelations that the London terrorist attacks last week were likely carried out by British Muslims. "We have to know what's going on in every mosque," Bavaria's interior minister, G_nter Beckstein, told the Berliner Zeitung newspaper. "We have to have an intelligence presence there where extremist ideas are being preached." Beckstein, who is tipped as a potential federal interior minister if the conservative opposition wins this fall's possible early election, said greater efforts were needed to watch Germany's Muslims amid the unsettling realization that the bombing attacks in London were the work of British citizens of Pakistani origin. "Accordingly we have increase surveillance of religious fanatics," he said, calling on the German Muslim community to increase their cooperation with the authorities. "We need the help of tolerant Muslims." Beckstein's sentiment was echoed by other conservative politicians. Wolfgang Bosbach, the Christian Democrats' parliamentary spokesman for interior issues, said suicide attackers could not be scared off by heightened security, making it more important to recruit informants from the local Muslim community for the intelligence services. Uwe Sch_nemann, the conservative interior minister of Lower Saxony, even called for increasing the frequency of random control checks at German mosques. "We need this instrument and we must make greater use of it," he said. Sch_nemann also called for a special sitting of parliament during the summer recess to pass measure creating a proposed national terror suspect index. "This has to be done quickly since we'll need it before the World Cup," he told the paper. Boosting Video Surveillance Beckstein also said more closed-circuit cameras to help secure soccer's largest sporting spectacle, which Germany will host next summer. Officials in Berlin have already decided to boost security on public transport in Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg with the installation of more video surveillance. "Following the attacks on the British capital, we don't want to be accused of not doing everything we can," the head of the company responsible for the public transport in Berlin (BVG), Thomas Necker, told the Berliner Zeitung. The BVG will also keep all video footage recorded for three days instead of the current 24 hours. Brandenburg's interior minister, J_rg Sch_nbohm, has also outlined plans to install closed-circuit cameras in various public areas including train stations and airports. "The swift success of Britain's police investigations just goes to show how important closed-circuit cameras are," Sch_nbohm told the tabloid Bild. In London, video footage of the four suspected bombers was able to be retrieved just five days after the attacks took place.

Arizona native and longtime public servant, Dr. William "Bill" Crawford has officially kicked off his election campaign for the Chandler City Council. Crawford and his wife, Diana, have been residents of Chandler since 1998.
"Public service has been my life and I'm ready to serve the citizens of Chandler in a new role," said Crawford. This past December, Crawford retired from his position as Vice President at Chandler-Gilbert Community College (CGCC). During his time at CGCC, he held a variety of positions including Associate Dean, Senior Associate Dean and Dean of Career and Technical Education. Crawford is currently an adjunct professor at Northern Arizona University, where he teaches both justice studies and education classes.
Before the Maricopa Community College District, Crawford was had a distinguished career with the Phoenix Police Department for 23 years and served another 10 years as a volunteer reserve officer.
Crawford is actively engaged in serving the citizens of Chandler as the Chair of the Chandler Merit Board and as a member of the Chandler Police and Fire Pension Boards. Additionally, he serves on a number of community organizations including Chairman of the Si Se Puede Foundation's Board of Directors, President of the Arizona Justice Educators Association's Board of Directors, and as a member of the Board of Directors for the Chandler Men of Action.
Crawford has outlined three primary areas of focus: public safety, education and economic development.
With his experience in public safety at his core, Crawford knows first-hand how important safe neighborhoods are to the cornerstone of a community's growth and prosperity. He is committed to helping public safety and first responder agencies have the tools and resources they need to decrease response times, reduce crime rates and enhance communications with citizens.
"It is important that our first responders have the staffing and resources they need to serve our citizens, said Dr. Crawford. "When there is an emergency and our citizens call for assistance, it is critical that first responders be able to answer efficiently and timely."
"We must do better job in ensuring that our children receive an outstanding education, which begins at the primary level and continues through higher education, continued Crawford. "Our children are our future and it is incumbent upon each of us to make sure our schools have the resources needed to help students be successful. Education is one of my passions and I am committed to working collaboratively with the education system to make sure we are serving the students, parents and residents of Chandler. Additionally, we need to focus on preparing our children for the jobs of the 21st century. It is an ever-changing workforce that they will be entering into one day."
"Recently, WalletHub named Chandler the "Best City to Find a Job." WalletHub's ranking was based upon more than 20 indicators including job opportunities, employment growth and monthly average starting salary. "We want to continue to be the place for employers and employees to thrive by providing a strong employment base that supports economic and business development," said Crawford.
Over the next several months, the Crawford for Chandler team of supporters and volunteers will be working diligently to connect with residents throughout the city. To learn more about Crawford, please visit CrawfordforChandler.com.

Good scheduling news for Rutgers football
J.P. Pelzman
CHICAGO – The Big Ten is relaxing its rules on non-conference football scheduling, and that's good news for Rutgers down the road.
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany confirmed Monday that the conference will allow teams to schedule FCS teams, opponents from the lower level of Division I, during seasons when the Big Ten school has only four conference home games.
"I think it's a good change," Rutgers coach Chris Ash said Monday afternoon. "When you're trying to turn around a program, that makes it more challenging" to not be able to play FCS schools.
"It helps in scheduling," Ash added, "because there's such competition now to get non-conference games. It costs a lot of money."
Relaxing the rule, Ash said, "opens up the pool of teams you can potentially play and it also helps you financially."
Delany said, "We had adopted a policy of no FCS (opponents) to enhance television and to strengthen packages for our season-ticket holders. He added another reason was to "impress the College Football Playoff committee."
Several teams reportedly were unhappy with the policy, especially now that the Big Ten has gone to a nine-game conference schedule. That means that in alternating years, teams will have four and then five conference home games.
Delany said that several Big Ten schools told the conference it was "very difficult to get three FBS opponents onto their schedules" in the years in which they have only four conference home games scheduled. Of course, teams want to try to get three non-conference home games during those years to give them seven total home games, as opposed to having to play six road games in a season.
"What we will do," Delany said, "is allow our schools at least the opportunity to schedule an FCS game in years where they have four conference games. So we won't have more than seven (total in a given season). A number of schools indicated they won't be taking advantage of that opportunity. But I expect we'll have three or four."
Rutgers regularly scheduled Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference teams during the Greg Schiano and Kyle Flood eras, and will host Morgan State on Sept. 16. Because of the previous edict, Rutgers apparently got creative earlier this year, scheduling Liberty in 2019. The Flames are moving from FCS to FBS and will be in FBS by then.
But Rutgers now won't have to be as creative when it puts together schedules after 2019. The first year the Scarlet Knights again could schedule an FCS team would be 2021.
Lights out?
The Big Ten continues to push forward with a limited package of Friday night games that coincide with a key night for high school football, but Delany admitted, "I think it's fair to say there's been pushback. It led us to open up even more communication with the high school (athletic) directors. … We've been doing Labor Day Friday (games) for a number of years, probably since the middle of the decade, maybe around 2006 or so. That never really created a lot of controversy."
That's likely because in some states, such as New Jersey, the high school football slate doesn't really gear up until the second week of September, after Labor Day. Rutgers will host Washington on Friday night prior to Labor Day, but Ash said he doesn't mind that. But he would prefer not to play on Friday once high school football is in full swing.
"I'm glad that they're going to go back and re-visit it," Ash said, noting that Friday night is for high schools.
"That's the way it's always been and that's the way it should be," he said. "I think the Big Ten should be a leader in playing football on Saturdays."
"We've worked to mitigate (the problem) by (making) very early (game) selections," Delany said. "I think you'll see selections probably in October preceding the (next) season, number one. And number two, to work with the high school athletic executive directors to mitigate."
First-year Indiana coach Tom Allen, a former high school coach, made it clear he doesn't like it either.
"I would like to keep that night special for high school football," he said. "That means a lot to me."

A fire that erupted Tuesday morning at Canada's St. Clair Township marina is expected to result in millions of dollars in damage losses.
A storage building housing more than 65 boats and at least four vehicles was engulfed in flames when firefighters from the Port Lambton and Becher stations arrived at St. Clair Boathouse, The Observer newspaper reported.
Every available firefighter from the township's five stations was called to Old River Road to control the blaze. A fire boat from Clay Township, Mich., also assisted.
Officials said there were no injuries.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, according to the report.


Michael Corleone Blanco is an American gangster and the son of the late cocaine queen, Griselda Blanco Restrepo. He has been charged with cocaine trafficking in the past and has lived undercover for the most of his life. Blanco lived through a troubled childhood and was even kidnapped not once, but on several occasions by his mother's foes. So, is Michael Corleone Blanco dead? Keep reading to find out more about Griselda Blanco's son in our Michael Corleone Blanco wiki.
Born into a family that was corrupt to the core, Michael Corleone Blanco made an easy foray into the world of drugs. His mother, cocaine queen Griselda Blanco, was probably his first teacher and taught him the tricks of the trade.
Although Blanco kept to himself for the most of the time, he was not aloof and had picked up the nuances of drug trafficking at an early age. His father, Dario Sepúlveda, and mother, Griselda Blanco, along with his three elder siblings, were heavily involved in drug crime. And together, they ruled the drug scene in Miami for an entire decade.
Owing to his family's undeterred criminal lineage, Michael Corleone Blanco's life was filled with cash, drugs, and riches. He owned a Porsche at the young age of six and was pampered silly by his guardians ever since he was a child.
Although his mother acquired a fortune worth $2.0 billion, Michael Corleone Blanco's net worth is not known. But we're sure that the drug lord made a fortune selling the rights to his life stories for the documentary, Cocaine Cowboys, and its sequel, Hustlin' with the Godmother.
Michael Corleone Blanco was neck deep in cocaine peddling and was caught in Miami Beach in 2015, while he was setting up a drug deal worth $100,000.
Going by the name "Nariz," Blanco was going for a deal with a contact who had already notified the Sunrise Police Department about the cocaine swap. Near the end of his meeting, Blanco was caught by two DEA investigators who were present, and he was immediately taken into custody.
Blanco, who was named by his mother after the heir apparent to the Vito Corleone criminal empire in the movie, The Godfather, was confined to house arrest after being caught in the cocaine trade. He was busted on two felony counts of cocaine trafficking and conspiracy to traffic cocaine.
Due to his arrest, Blanco was unable to speak with his mother. He was restricted to occasional phone calls only with his extended family.
Blanco was informed about his mother's assassination during his house arrest. He was able to attend his mother's funeral after seeking special permission from a judge.
Michael Corleone Blanco is reportedly an extremely emotional person who cannot live without his family. Although he was raised by relatives and legal guardians and was forced to be away from his parents for most of his childhood, Blanco grew up to be extremely bonded with his family.
At a very young age, Blanco lost his father and all his older siblings to crime and was only left with his mother for support. As a result, he was close to his mother and soon followed in her footsteps to become a part of the drug kingdom in Columbia and Miami.
Blanco claims that he was raised in a very warm and humbling way by his mother, which is reflected in his personality. According to Michael Corleone Blanco's wife, he is a very good-hearted person with strong family ties.
Today, Michael Corleone Blanco lives a very private life with his wife and two children.

The Task List in Visual Studio is apparently very well hidden. But if you've ever put a "TODO" comment in some code in Visual Studio, you've already started to use it! This is a feature of Visual Studio that has been around since at least VS 2005 and yet I talk to so many developers who have no knowledge if its existence!
Go to View, and click on "Task List", it is usually about half way down the list.
I really is as simple as that. The only minor fly in the ointment is C++, which is case sensitive (use "TODO") and comes with Comments tasks turned off by default… But don't worry! They're easy to turn back on again. Go to Tools and Options, then Text Editor, C/C++, Formatting, Miscellaneous and find "Enumerate Comment Tasks" – set it to true. Then you can join in the fun.
It can often be fun opening up old legacy solutions in Visual Studio and seeing just how many "TODOs" there are.
And by "fun", I mean morbidly depressing. Especially if you're the chump who has to maintain it all!!!


Intention and expectation: Your journey to Egypt will be as magical and inspirational as you allow it to be. Your best preparation is to come with an open heart, an open mind and an intention to fall in love. The sites will inspire and open you, and the Egyptian people will capture your heart. Their warmth and friendliness will disarm you, so be prepared for an "in your face" friendliness that can at times feel overwhelming. Good boundaries, flexibility and a loving presence are your best passport.
The backbone of Egypt's economy is tourism. Each of you is a treasure to the country and for the most part everyone will want to make you happy. While they can be hard bargainers in the market place, their greatest concern is that you walk away with a good experience.
Egypt has been a destiny for millenium and continues to draw people from around the world. We are delighted to share this magical land and its people with you.
Personal Info Sheet: As soon as you have filled out your personal information sheet, which is available on the website, please email it to janebell@presenceofheart.com. You will then be ready for the following information.
Travel Insurance – We recommend that you take out travel insurance in case of any unforeseen incidents. This will cover your costs if something unexpected happens. Once you pay your deposit you have 14 days to purchase your insurance. We use CSA Travel Insurance – (800) 348-9505. Please contact them as soon as you make your payment to make sure of your eligibility. If you have a company that you already use, you may want to make comparisons and let us know if it is preferable and we will pass the information along.
Payments: After your initial non-refundable deposit, the balance is due 60 days prior to departure. If you are not in the United States, we can accept bank checks or money orders in US currency or money can be directly wired into the Presence of Heart account. For US residents we accept personal checks, bank checks or wire transfers. For Paypal there is a 4 % surcharge.
Refund Policy: Presence of Heart will refund your balance excluding the deposit 60 days prior to your departure. Reservations canceled between 30 and 59 days prior to the departure date will receive 50 per cent of your balance due. Reservations canceled less than 29 days prior to departure are non-refundable.
International Flight: As soon as you book your flights we need to have your entire itinerary emailed to our office to janebell@presenceofheart.com All information about airfare must be with our agents in Egypt by the 60 day mark so plans can be arranged for airport transfers. You are welcome to come a day or two early if you want to acclimate. Our agents, Quest Travel, will assist you with hotels and transfers. If you arrive on any day except the day of tour travel, a $40.00 transfer fee will be charged for the transfer from the airport by our agents.
When you arrive in Egypt you will be required to buy a visa. Most countries can get their visas at the airport, but if you are not sure, check with the Egyptian consulate online. The cost for visas at the airport are $15.00 and are available at the bank kiosks on arrival in the Egyptair terminal. You get your visa before you go through passport control. After passport control, you will be met by a representative from Quest Travel who will get your luggage and transport you to the hotel where we will meet you and help you check in.
Travel Documents You are required to have a valid passport that will not expire before six months. We recommend that you make 2 copies of your passport and credit card and leave them in a separate part of your travel bags. We will collect one copy of your passport for the hotels and boat. There are safes in all the rooms to leave whatever you don't want to carry with you. We suggest you also call your credit card company to give them your dates of travel in Egypt so you will not have difficulty using your card when abroad. You may also want to leave a third copy of your documents at home with a family member as well.
We also suggest doing the same with your credit cards.
While Presence of Heart will handle all transfers and most gratuities, you will need to bring money to tip the staff on the Nile cruise boat of $90 US or $10 per day. You will also need about $125.00 to $150.00 to tip your extraordinary Egyptologist. Unless you are a big shopper an additional $400 to $600 should give you enough to enjoy yourself graciously. Debit cards or cash work best. If you bring cash you need to bring new bills that are not marked or torn in any way. Please ask your bank to save some for you before you leave in advance. More and more ATM's are available but not like in western countries. The exchange is approximately 6 Egyptian pounds to the dollar. We recommend that you change money when you arrive at our first hotel and make sure you get small bills for tipping at restrooms and for small favors done by hotel staff. One pound about 18 cents works in most restrooms and one or two pounds is good for general tipping in hotels. Egyptians love to bargain and having cash will allow you to get better deals. Most traditional stores and hotels take credit cards.
Health Preparations: No shots are required for Egypt. The most common ailment is travelers diarrhea due to different bacterias. While we stay in excellent accomodations, it is not unusual to have some kind of intestinal response. We sugguest taking acidophilus a month prior to travel and throughout the trip. Grapefruit seed extract in tablet or tincture to be taken with each meal is also a good preventative. There are good remedies in Egypt for tummy stuff but preparation helps a lot. Egypt has good doctors and we can access them if necessary. Just make sure you bring whatever medicines and herbs you take when traveling. A good immune booster is helpful as well.
Only drink bottled water. Use it also for brushing teeth. It is found everywhere and much less expensive from street markets and restaurants than in the hotels or boat. You are welcome to bring your own bottle to meals if you have purchased it from another vendor. Drink a lot of water when you are in Egypt.
Most people use digital cameras. Make sure you have plenty of memory cards as you will not have a way to download your photos unless you bring your own computer. Also make sure you have the correct adaptors to charge your camera.
A: A new policy has recently been put into effect by the SCA. This policy allows for cameras to be used at most sites without charge. However, both regular and video cameras can not be used in the museum or at Valley of the Kings. Please do not bring them or they will need to be stored at the site, and can cause delays.
Clothing & Shopping Most flights allow you to check two pieces of luggage weighing up to 50 lbs. each and one carry-on. With all the wonderful shopping in Egypt, inexpensive duffel bags are easily found to carry home your treasures, so travel light. Dress is casual for everyone. Egypt is a Muslim country and the women are mostly covered, therefore, when in the sites or the markets, we ask the women to dress modestly with long skirts or long light pants or capris with casual short sleeve blouses – please no sleeveless tops or shorts. That being said, you can wear anything you want in the hotels and on our private boat. You will see other tourists wearing shorts and exposed clothing , yet we prefer to be respectful of the culture. Men can wear shorts if they wish as well as jeans, slacks and T-shirts. Bathing suits and shorts are fine for everyone on the cruise and inside the hotels. Many of us enjoy wearing the gallabayas or caftans worn both by the local men and women. They are loose and comfortable and you can find them easily all over Egypt. Shopping is a wonderful way to interact with the Egyptians. Bargaining is expected and fun – and we will give you good shopping tips during orientation. Egyptians love to play. Have fun, shop with a smile.
Day pack to carry water, camera etc.
Power bars , trail mix or protein snacks for long days: Larabars and Raw Revolution are great!
Phone cards – For personal calls, you can purchase International Phone cards at Costco (by Verizon) or a variety of others from most CVS type stores as well. Make sure to have the international access numbers for calling from Egypt back home. These kinds of cards are also available in Egypt.
Internet – Hotels have email access available and internet shops are also available in many locations. There are dataports in hotel rooms where you can hook up your laptop and the cruise boat has wireless for $10.00 per day.
Electricity:  –Egypt uses 220 volts and the plugs resemble European two round prong types. Make sure your appliances have converters in them. Most computers do. If not, bring a converter and to be safe a eurosurge protector as power can fluctuate. Hair dryers are in the hotel rooms and on the boat.
There is laundry service available at the hotels but not on the Afandina. Bring clothes that can be easily hand washed in the sink and hung out to dry. Our boat is our floating home and Temple upon the Nile.

Energy Costs
Green energy subsidies that will cost every household £110 a year by 2020 are poor value for money and £17 more expensive than planned after the Government bust its budget, according to a damning National Audit Office report. Ministers agreed in 2011 that the subsidies for projects such as wind and solar farms, which are funded by levies on consumer energy bills, should not exceed £7.6bn by 2020-21. However, they admitted last summer that they were on track to overshoot that and spend £9.1bn. An NAO report finds a series of failings in the way ministers handled the budget and says they didn't spot the overspend until far too late because they were using out of date assumptions. A Treasury board that was supposed to oversee the spending did not meet for almost two years until last summer and ministers failed to learn the lessons of previous overspending. As well as busting the budget, the subsidies that have been allocated did not secure "best value for money" and may have been £300m a year too generous.

Letter Dr Robert Gross: Jonathan Ford's comparison point is wrong and he has the price of low carbon power wrong ("UK's climate policy must be based on an evolutionary strategy", Inside Business, October 10). The wholesale price of UK power is indeed about half the price being offered to Hinkley Point. But the wholesale price is too low to build any form of new power station – gas, nuclear, coal or renewable. The UK is running on its legacy of existing power stations at the moment, which keeps prices down. Our growing fleet of wind and solar farms also pushes down wholesale prices, while receiving a top-up payment for renewable energy. New gas power stations can get a capacity payment for reliability – also on top of wholesale price. Wholesale prices thus reflect short-run marginal costs, not the full costs of a new power station. The comparison for new low-carbon power is not a wholesale price that is too low to build anything, but most likely a new gas power station. The wholesale price might be £45 per unit of power, a new gas station is likely to be about £60-£70 per MWh and Hinkley will get £93.50. These are our comparison points. Even so, Mr Ford is right that the Hinkley deal looks expensive. Low carbon can be much, much cheaper. Wind farms can win contracts at $60-$80/MWh, according to the International Energy Agency. Solar recently won a contract at just $35 in Mexico. The UK is obviously less sunny than Mexico but no less windy than anywhere else. Costs are coming down because renewable energy technology is improving, but it is important to ensure the lowest price. One way is to use auctions, and avoid the complex negotiations that have beset the Hinkley deal. The offshore wind costs Mr Ford cites are for plants built before the UK introduced a system of auctions that dramatically reduced prices for both onshore and offshore wind. The climate debate is complex. Wholesale power prices or the imputed carbon price of a particular (and expensive) project tell us very little about long-term costs of decarbonisation. Its therefore essential to get the full facts, both for new low-carbon energy sources and for the fossil fuels we compare them with.

Independent supplier Ecotricity is increasing its energy prices by an average of 5.7 per cent for dual-fuel customers. Electricity prices will rise by 7.8 per cent whilst gas prices increase by 3.8 per cent for customers with the green supplier from 14 November. The average increase of 5.7 per cent adds around £1 per week to customer's bills, according to Ecotricity. The company blamed the rise on cost increases from the grid operators and policy from government.

2011 release, the fourth album from the Alt-Rock outfit. Nine Types Of Light is a lush and beautiful album that stands apart from the group's previous work. If their other albums had shades of dystopia and distress, this album, sung by Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone, is filled with songs about longing and love. Nine Types Of Light is the follow-up to the band's gorgeous, glorious 2008 release, Dear Science, and proved to be its breakout release. It was named album of the year by Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly and MTV; and touring behind the album, the group sold out a year's worth of live shows across the world. This, however, did not prevent everyone from referring to TV On The Radio as a Brooklyn band. That is not a bad thing. The group – Tunde Adebimpe, Kyp Malone, Dave Sitek, Jaleel Bunton, Gerard Smith – are indeed from Brooklyn.


I have a 1 year old American Bulldog that has been vomiting since about 4 months old. I have taken her to the vet several times and x-rays showed no foreign objects. I was feeding her diamond naturals large breed puppy until about 6-7 months old then switched her to the large breed adult formula. She has never been consistent on her eating times no matter how strict I feed her. The vomiting occurs in the morning after being awake for a little while. Thinking it may be her food I switched her to Nutro Max large breed. With negative results. The only thing that keeps her from vomiting in the morning is giving her Famotadine when she wakes up. I recently thought of changing her food to pro plan sensitive stomach. Has anyone else had this problem? The vet has yet to come up with a solution other than medication.
It may be she needs a snack before going to bed at night. I do this with my dogs because one of my Cavaliers would have a queasy/gurgly stomach in the morning and sometimes vomit bile. I just give a small amt. (tblsp.) of their kibble to them right before bedtime. It hasn't happened since I started doing this.
My younger Border Collie used to do that as a puppy. He had IBS and food intolerances. We took him off all chicken and grains, put him on a high protein, moderate fat, low carb diet and have not seen any of the stomach symptoms again since. Try Earthborn Holisic Grain Free or Nature's variety Instinct or even Canidae Pure. Just make sure you read the ingredients list because they all have formulas with chicken too. Good luck! Food intolerances can be a bear to work out, if that's what it is.
Duh…like Pattyvaughn said, I also cut out the poultry from their diet along with giving them the snack so maybe that helped, too.
The ones I mentioned are grain free.

Q: How to display image from MySQL in Intel-xdk using php How to display image from MySQL in Intel-xdk using php. Please how can i display image in Intel xdk using ajax request?
I have tried to retrieve an information which only displays the text and not the images.
I use php and when i request the information only the text is being displayed.
Here is the code i used to retrieve the data
   function showUser() {

                if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
                    // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
                    xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
                } else {
                    // code for IE6, IE5
                    xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
                }

                xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
                    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
                        document.getElementById("list").innerHTML = this.responsetext;

                    }
                };
                xmlhttp.open("GET", "http://localhost/SaltCity/index.php",true);
                xmlhttp.send()
            }

A: Here's the PHP to return a filename in JSON. This assumes that you store the filename in MySQL in a field called profileimage and the name of your php is getprofileimage.php.
$result = $conn->query("select profileimage from profiles where userid = '" . $userid . "'");

$outp = "[";
while($rs = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
    if ($outp != "[") {$outp .= ",";}
    $outp .= '{"profileimage":"' . $rs["profileimage"] . '"}';
}
$outp .="]";

When run, this returns a JSON string like this
[{
    "profileimage": "abcd.jpg"
}]

In JavaScript, do this:
function getProfile(){
    var url = "http://yourserverlocation.com" + "/getprofileimage.php";

    $.ajax({
        url: url,
        type: 'GET',
        data: JSONObject,
        dataType: 'json',
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        success: function (arr) {
            _getProfileResult(arr);
        },
        error: function () {
            validationMsg();
        }
    });
}

function _getProfileResult(arr){
    profileimage = arr[0].profileimage;
    //assuming that you have a <img id="imgProfilePicture> tag
    $("#imgProfilePicture").attr("src","http://yourserverlocation.com/" + "/images/" + profileimage +"_s");
}


The Kiev Major continues to deliver impressive games.
Miss playing Miracle Rogue? Don't sweat because a new variant has returned to the meta-game! Check out Razoir's guide to learn more!
The first two teams have secured their spots in the Kiev Major playoffs.
Team Secret and Virtus Pro have secured their spots in the Kiev Major playoffs after a flawless performance throughout the first three rounds of the group stage.
Since the event features a swiss format group stage, the four undefeated teams from the first day were pitted against each other today, with Virtus Pro and TNC started off the action.
The first game between the two teams certainly didn't disappoint. Both struggled to close things out for 75 minutes. Due to TNC's Carlo "Kuku" Palad's Tinker constantly pushing out creep waves across the map, Virtus Pro struggled to breach the base of the Filipino squad for the majority of the game, while TNC could siege their opponents' base efficiently. But despite destroying two sets of barracks, Virtus Pro began winning teamfights more and more decisively, bringing the game into the Russian team's favor. Finally, with no buyback remaining on any of their core heroes, TNC had to concede the first game of the series after roughly 75 minutes of play.
The second game of the series was a lot more one-sided Virtus Pro's favor. Vladimir "No[o]ne" Minenko's Phantom Assassin faced almost no resistance through the early stages of the game, and proceeded to dominate TNC— earning No[o]ne a total of 13 kills, and Virtus Pro the first spot in the tournament playoffs.
A pretty big upset followed in the second qualification match, as tournament favorites Invictus Gaming were defeated by Team Secret in two straight games. Meaning Invictus Gaming will not be able to enter the playoffs with the highest possible seed.
While the group stage isn't over just yet, it seems as if the Kiev Major will be remembered as a tournament of upsets.

Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club
In June, the thin, transparent plastic trays that fit over her top and bottom teeth came in the mail. McKinney is working through the series slowly, switching the first set for the next, and the next, as her teeth move. It'll take about 9 months in all. But after 3 months of wearing these trays nearly every day and night, McKinney is thrilled about displaying her brand-new smile (Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club).
Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Inside among SmileDirectClub's New york city City places. SmileDirectClub's organisation design seems working. Align Technology– the company that makes Invisalign, SmileDirect's main rival– invested $46.7 million to become SmileDirect's exclusive supplier in 2015, and this year invested another $12.8 million, to own a total of 19% of the company.
On the other hand, lookalikes have actually released with comparable services: Orthly, launched by two University of Pennsylvania students, now provides services to consumers in Philadelphia, and Honest Co. released in New york city this summer. A SmileDirect client can be matched with one of 225 affiliated dentists or orthodontists in all 50 states. These dental experts remotely evaluate patient cases and then develop the aligners that SmileDirect sends in the mail.
The company decreased to call any of the doctor within its network, and would not provide information about its monetary relationships with them. "Basically they are collecting payments and paying us marketing costs," Fenkell said."I think that claim is rather phony," AAO's basic counsel Dillard said. "The customers don't even see a dental expert.
(SmileDirectClub has a two-star ranking on Yelp.) And many expert dentists are alarmed that clients never ever see a licensed doctor before or throughout their treatment."It blew my mind," Casi Stubbs, a Florida orthodontist and member of the American Association of Orthodontists, told BuzzFeed News. Like typical orthodontists, SmileDirect's dental practitioners base their prescriptions on computer simulations of mouth scans.
"The teeth don't move biologically like they do on the computer system," Stubbs stated. One of her patients, 60-year-old Charlene Burnham, is a SmileDirect consumer whose too-tight aligners cut her gums, exposing part of her tooth near the root. Burnham informed BuzzFeed News she invested a week trying– and failing– to consult with a SmileDirect dental expert on the phone, then went to Stubbs for assistance."They were bleeding, they were cut to the root," Burnham stated.
"I was horrified."A SmileDirect representative told BuzzFeed News by e-mail that company-affiliated dentists "track the patient's progress throughout treatment at regular periods."The business "helps with the interactions" of customers and dental companies, the representative stated. "Dental providers interact directly with patients through the customer website and via SMS or phone when appropriate or indicated."In a YouTube video that's been viewed over 21,000 times given that June, Baltimore orthodontist Jeffrey Miller alerted individuals away from the service, saying that no orthodontist would ever prescribe aligners without very first taking the X-rays that SmileDirect skips.
(The video was removed after this story published.)Grant Olson, a dental practitioner in Springfield, Missouri, informed BuzzFeed News that the company's product marketing, which compares itself with orthodontist-fitted Invisalign, is misguiding. Unlike Invisalign trays, which orthodontists can optimize by sticking unique attachments on a tooth, SmileDirect's item is limited to really minor corrections: The aligners can fix a tilt, but can't move a tooth's orientation or position along with its root.
He explained that SmileDirect-affiliated orthodontists just authorize cases that are suitable for a remote consultation and don't require follow-up oral check outs (Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club). Laws for dental experts vary across states, but there are some typical styles in the 36 complaints sent by the AAO: Some states think about making impressions and providing retainers to be the role of a certified doctor, however SmileDirectClub usually provides those services.
AAO basic counsel Dillard also informed BuzzFeed News that the business's company design incentivizes dental professionals associated with SmileDirect to prescribe the trays even if they aren't required. Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Although the business hasn't drew in the attention of regulators yet, client complaints are plentiful online. TL; DR: Prepare for a rough ride.
The large majority of consumers in these groups resign themselves to dealing with the snags due to the fact that there are simply no other options (Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club)."If you can be patient, want an affordable strategy, SDC IS the proper way to go! Having a favorable mindset and being patient goes a LONG method," Melanie Masso composed to BuzzFeed News.
For many other customers, the trip is a bust. Seattle resident Melissa Gulick informed BuzzFeed News that at the end of nearly a year of treatment, the aligners have actually ruined her bite: Her front teeth touch before her molars can make contact (Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club). "I'm quite annoyed– food is tough to chew now and they won't fix it!"Gulick stated that after complaints to the company, SmileDirectClub consented to continue treatment for totally free.
When asked about grievances that the trays ruined clients' bites, a SmileDirect representative informed BuzzFeed News: "Over 95% of our consumers complete treatment and approve their finished brand-new smile. It is very important to remember that with any orthodontic treatment, bites will continue to shift till the treatment is finished."Another client, 24-year-old Drexel University student Kacie Durham, told BuzzFeed News that SmileDirectClub sent her a simulated treatment plan that made her teeth look worse."It actually made my teeth appear more uneven at the bottom," she stated.
Durham returned her trays and requested a refund. Later on, an orthodontist not associated with the business informed her that her teeth would have to be filed and shaped prior to they could be aligned. Durham felt deceived: SmileDirect had actually authorized her for a treatment that would never ever have actually worked."If a prospective customer is unhappy with the 3d sneak peek of his or her smile, there is no commitment to purchase aligners," the SmileDirectClub agent said (Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club).
Minelle Tendler, a Boca Raton orthodontist, joined among the biggest Facebook groups, the 11,800-member SmileDirectClub Assistance, after two of her patients asked about the product. In perusing the posts that appear in her Facebook feed, Tendler said that she's not seen anyone say they've had the ability to speak to a dental practitioner at the business.
"You're asking somebody who has no dental background, 'Is this going to work?'"More than when, Tendler has stopped short of replying to threads on the forum. She rests on her hands due to the fact that the clients are not hers. "I'm looking at the images and thinking, Oh my god, you require to get teeth gotten, don't do it."Primarily, she is worried that individuals who are wooed by SmileDirectClub's low rate aren't completely knowledgeable about the downsides of avoiding a dental check out.
A previous variation of this article misidentified him as an orthodontist. Align Innovation owns 19% of SmileDirectClub. A previous variation of this story mentioned it was 17%. Likewise, SmileDirectClub started running in North Carolina in early October. A previous version of this story, based on an August interview with cofounder Alex Fenkell, said that the business was not operating in North Carolina.
Mail-in aligners might appear like a great alternative for a small fix. However remember you're not the professional on how minimal a fix your teeth need. "It's tough to go from something that's 90% excellent to make it 100% best; in my experience, I discover that these are the more difficult cases," Dr.
The outcomes of using invisible aligners can be exceptionally unpredictable, because some individuals react well to them and others won't. "It's really hard to monitor this by yourself, because– like everything in medication– not everybody responds the very same," he states. The genuine trouble features finding out how to remedy your smile if you're not reacting properly to the retainers, he states.
In June, the thin, transparent plastic trays that fit over her leading and bottom teeth came in the mail. McKinney is resolving the series slowly, swapping the first set for the next, and the next, as her teeth move. It'll take about 9 months in all. However after three months of using these trays nearly every day and night, McKinney is delighted about flaunting her new smile (Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club).
Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Inside among SmileDirectClub's New york city City areas. SmileDirectClub's company model seems working. Align Innovation– the business that makes Invisalign, SmileDirect's primary rival– invested $46.7 million to end up being SmileDirect's exclusive supplier last year, and this year invested another $12.8 million, to own an overall of 19% of the business.
On the other hand, lookalikes have released with similar services: Orthly, released by 2 University of Pennsylvania students, now provides services to customers in Philadelphia, and Honest Co. released in New york city this summer season. A SmileDirect client can be matched with among 225 associated dental practitioners or orthodontists in all 50 states. These dental specialists remotely review patient cases and then create the aligners that SmileDirect sends out in the mail.
The business decreased to call any of the medical professionals within its network, and would not supply details about its financial relationships with them. "Basically they are collecting payments and paying us marketing costs," Fenkell said."I believe that claim is rather fake," AAO's general counsel Dillard stated. "The consumers do not even see a dental practitioner.
(SmileDirectClub has a two-star rating on Yelp.) And many professional dental professionals are alarmed that clients never ever see a licensed doctor before or during their treatment."It blew my mind," Casi Stubbs, a Florida orthodontist and member of the American Association of Orthodontists, informed BuzzFeed News. Like normal orthodontists, SmileDirect's dental experts base their prescriptions on computer system simulations of mouth scans.
"The teeth don't move biologically like they do on the computer system," Stubbs stated. One of her clients, 60-year-old Charlene Burnham, is a SmileDirect client whose too-tight aligners cut her gums, exposing part of her tooth near the root. Burnham told BuzzFeed News she invested a week trying– and stopping working– to speak with a SmileDirect dental expert on the phone, then went to Stubbs for help."They were bleeding, they were cut to the root," Burnham said.
"I was horrified."A SmileDirect representative informed BuzzFeed News by e-mail that company-affiliated dental professionals "track the client's development throughout treatment at routine intervals."The business "helps with the interactions" of consumers and oral companies, the representative said. "Oral service providers interact directly with clients through the consumer portal and through SMS or phone when appropriate or suggested."In a YouTube video that's been viewed over 21,000 times since June, Baltimore orthodontist Jeffrey Miller warned individuals away from the service, stating that no orthodontist would ever recommend aligners without first taking the X-rays that SmileDirect skips.
(The video was gotten rid of after this story published.)Grant Olson, a dental expert in Springfield, Missouri, informed BuzzFeed News that the business's product marketing, which compares itself with orthodontist-fitted Invisalign, is misinforming. Unlike Invisalign trays, which orthodontists can optimize by sticking special attachments on a tooth, SmileDirect's product is limited to extremely small corrections: The aligners can correct a tilt, but can't move a tooth's orientation or position along with its root.
He explained that SmileDirect-affiliated orthodontists just approve cases that appropriate for a remote assessment and don't require follow-up oral visits (Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club). Laws for dental professionals differ throughout states, but there are some common themes in the 36 grievances sent out by the AAO: Some states consider making impressions and supplying retainers to be the function of a certified doctor, however SmileDirectClub generally provides those services.
AAO general counsel Dillard likewise told BuzzFeed News that the business's business design incentivizes dentists connected with SmileDirect to prescribe the trays even if they aren't required. Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Although the business hasn't attracted the attention of regulators yet, customer grievances abound online. TL; DR: Prepare for a rough trip.
The vast majority of consumers in these groups resign themselves to handling the snags due to the fact that there are just no other choices (Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club)."If you can be client, desire a budget-friendly strategy, SDC IS properly to go! Having a positive mindset and being patient goes a LONG method," Melanie Masso wrote to BuzzFeed News.
For lots of other clients, the ride is a bust. Seattle resident Melissa Gulick told BuzzFeed News that at the end of almost a year of treatment, the aligners have destroyed her bite: Her front teeth touch before her molars can make contact (Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club). "I'm quite irritated– food is hard to chew now and they won't repair it!"Gulick said that after problems to the company, SmileDirectClub concurred to continue treatment totally free.
When inquired about complaints that the trays messed up consumers' bites, a SmileDirect agent told BuzzFeed News: "Over 95% of our clients complete treatment and approve their completed new smile. It is very important to bear in mind that with any orthodontic procedure, bites will continue to shift until the treatment is completed."Another client, 24-year-old Drexel College student Kacie Durham, told BuzzFeed News that SmileDirectClub sent her a simulated treatment plan that made her teeth look even worse."It in fact made my teeth appear more crooked at the bottom," she said.
Durham returned her trays and requested a refund. Later on, an orthodontist not affiliated with the business informed her that her teeth would need to be submitted and shaped before they could be aligned. Durham felt deceived: SmileDirect had approved her for a treatment that would never ever have worked."If a potential client is dissatisfied with the 3d preview of his/her smile, there is no commitment to acquire aligners," the SmileDirectClub representative said (Measurements Of Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club).
Minelle Tendler, a Boca Raton orthodontist, joined one of the biggest Facebook groups, the 11,800-member SmileDirectClub Support, after two of her clients asked about the product. In browsing the posts that appear in her Facebook feed, Tendler stated that she's not seen anyone say they've been able to talk to a dentist at the business.
"You're asking somebody who has no oral background, 'Is this going to work?'"More than once, Tendler has stopped short of responding to threads on the online forum. She rests on her hands because the clients are not hers. "I'm taking a look at the images and thinking, Oh my god, you need to get teeth taken out, don't do it."Primarily, she is stressed that individuals who are wooed by SmileDirectClub's low rate aren't completely knowledgeable about the disadvantages of skipping a dental go to.
A previous version of this post misidentified him as an orthodontist. Align Innovation owns 19% of SmileDirectClub. A previous version of this story stated it was 17%.

Mail-in aligners may seem like a great choice for a minor fix. However keep in mind you're not the specialist on how minimal a repair your teeth require. "It's difficult to go from something that's 90% good to make it 100% best; in my experience, I discover that these are the harder cases," Dr.
The results of using unnoticeable aligners can be incredibly unpredictable, because some people respond well to them and others won't. "It's really hard to monitor this by yourself, because– like everything in medication– not everybody responds the same," he states. The real problem comes with determining how to correct your smile if you're not responding properly to the retainers, he says.

Zara to introduce denim customisation
By Triana Alonso
Inditex's largest retail chain Zara is continuing to push the boundaries of fast fashion, exploring personalisation with a first customisation service, offered through the denim collection of the brand's "Trf" category. The news, announced exclusively at the group's HQ in Arteixo, Spain, coincided with the presentation of the company's annual results on Wednesday, 13 March.
"Zara Edited" introduces customisation by allowing customers to apply embroidery to denim - FNW
As explained to FashionNetwork.com by managers from the brand, the idea came about as a reaction to customer feedback and market demand, and is in line with the rising trend in the denim sector. Dubbed "Zara Edited", the concept will be introduced in the denim category of the "Trf" department and allow customers to add embroidered words to the front or back of denim shorts, skirts and jackets. The price of these pieces will be the same as non-personalised items. One catch: once customised, products cannot be returned.
This test collection will launch on 27 March and will be available in three exclusive brick-and-mortar stores: Plaza de Cataluña (Barcelona), Kalverstraat (Amsterdam) and the retailer's recently renovated location on Milan's Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Customers will also be able to personalise pieces online or through the Zara app, where they can select the area they wish to customise, as well as the font and colour of the embroidery. In this way, the service will be made available in Spain, Italy, the UK and the Netherlands through the retailer's e-commerce platform. In Spain, the company's personalisation and embroidery facilities will be concentrated in Madrid.
An Inditex employee demonstrates the collection's personalisation options through the app - FNW
In 2018, the group increased its revenue by 3% to €26.14 billion, exceeding the barrier of €26 billion for the first time in its history. Online sales, which already account for 14% of turnover in the markets in which the group has an online presence, increased by 27% to €3.2 billion. Zara increased its e-commerce presence to 202 markets in the past year. The brand, together with Zara Home, recorded net sales of €18.02 billion euros, 3.2% more than in the previous year.

High Pressure Hydraulic Oil stainless steel sintered metal powder filter uses metal powder as a raw material without adding a binder.After cold isostatic pressing, it is formed by high temperature vacuum sintering. The pore size and distribution of the component can be adjusted by selecting the metal powder particle size and process parameters. Using the pore structure, material composition, and compressive strength of different filter materials, we have developed a filter product that is finally suitable for users.
Different from the non-metal sintered filter element, when the filter cake on the surface of the sintered metal powder filter core reaches a certain thickness, due to its high strength performance characteristics, the filter element can be backwashed or backflushed by a certain reverse pressure. Clean the filter element so that the filter element can be used again.
12: Gas homogenization and pneumatic conveying in the powder industry.
1.uniform structure, narrow pore size distribution, high separation efficiency.
2.high porosity, filtration resistance, high penetration efficiency.
3.high temperature, generally below normal 280 degrees.
4.good chemical stability, acid corrosion, has antioxidant properties.
5.no particle shedding, not to dope the formation of secondary pollution, comply with food hygiene and pharmaceutical GMP requirements.

Q: Pigeonhole Principle proof question For the problem below, I'm wondering if we could've proved it by considering that there must exist the same remainder for $2$ different terms instead of sums.  There are $n$ terms, each are subsets, and if none are divisible by $n$ then there must exist $2$ terms with the same remainder mod$n$.  Then just subtract them mod $n$ would give a difference with remainder $0$ mod $n$.

A: You are right about the existence of two terms with the same residue modulo $n$. The only flaw in your approach is that unlike $s_k-s_l$, the term $a_k-a_l$ is not necessarily a sum of some subset of $\{a_1,...,a_n\}$.


My neighbor bought this nano wand on the internet because she hurt her wrist. She said it was a zero point nano wand and she paid quite a bit of money for it. It was over a hundred bucks. I have a sore knee that won't go away so I thought I would try to find something cheaper that would work for me. I found this sweet deal on eBay and couldn't wait for it to arrive.
I've been using this wand for two weeks now and nothing is happening. I feel kinda stupid making circles around my knee like it is some kind of a joke and I'm it. I thought I had finally found a way to get rid of my sore knee. Not. I don't know if these wands are supposed to work of if they are all a scam. I'm really disappointed.
I found a website called Iyashi Source. Iyashi says their wands are zero point energy wands and they are full spectrum. The long and the short of it is, I bought one and my knee feels great. No more aching and sharp pains when I walk. Mind you it took a couple of weeks for it to go away completely, but I'm tickled pink.

Is your dog scared when put on the exam table at the veterinarian?
Since I believe fear has no place in a vet clinic, I've been working to make visits Fear-Free for pets. Some of the tricks I've learned to turn up the happy and turn down the sad are easy and free, and some require a small investment from your veterinarian. For dealing with exam table blues, I've got a little bit of both!
First, meet Beau and Lela, who I saw at North Idaho Animal Hospital.
Beau is a 9-year-old Beagle and Lela is a 5-year-old Lab, both amazingly at close to an ideal body weight — not something I often see in those breeds, and believe me, I let their people, Bobbie and Steven, know what a great job they're doing!
I also made sure both dogs were comfortable before I examined them. For large dogs and those who are afraid of the table, getting right down on the floor with them is an easy and free way to make sure a complete exam is done without stress or fear.
If the pet really needs to be seen on a table, the veterinary team and owner can work together to teach the dog that good things happen — usually in the form of treats — when they're on the table.
What have you and your veterinarian tried to reduce your pet's fear of the exam table?


Another picture taken from my tractor. I am often shadowed by hawks and other birds of prey (and sometimes seagulls) when I am working ground as the watch for mice, voles, and other rodents scurrying to get out of my way. I enjoy the company.

Q: Logic operators in a LIKE pattern Can I use logic operators in a LIKE pattern?
Exemple:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar LIKE '%something || somethingelse%';

Note 1 : My question is for mySQL, but an overview of how other implementations of SQL treat such queries will be helpful.
Note 2 : If this is not possible, is there any alternatives besides using
WHERE bar LIKE '%something' OR bar LIKE 'somethingelse%'

What I want to accomlish is to be able to inject some string into the LIKE pattern and be able to return results from the database that meet that pattern.

A: MySQL support some base Regular Expressions:
where bar regexp ('something$|^somethingelse')

A: You can concatenate the strings into one string and then apply LIKE operator, like:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar LIKE CONCAT('%something', yourstring, 'somethingelse%');

Amy Carmichael
Posted under The Rectory Bulletin | Church History
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19)
Amy Carmichael was born in a small, coastal village on the east coast of Northern Ireland in 1867. The eldest of seven children, she was reputed to have been full of life and the happy child of devout parents. She herself was converted when she was fifteen at a mission at Harrogate (she had been sent to a boarding school in Yorkshire) and when she returned to Northern Ireland - this time to Belfast - she threw herself into missions, not least amongst the factory girls (or 'shawlies') in Belfast.
In 1893, in response to a call to overseas missions, she left for Japan. A year later, though, she had fallen ill and so she ended up in Bangalore where she had been told that the climate would be healthier for her. Joining the Church Missionary Society (a Church of England mission) she began her work, mainly amongst girls and young women in villages. However, a meeting with a girl who had run away from a Hindu temple, soon changed the direction of her work as she became more aware of the practice of temple prostitution.
In 1901 Carmichael founded the Dohnavur Fellowship to work with girls caught up in temple prostitution - some having been sold to the temples as small children.. She was careful to be sensitive to Indian culture, the children were given Indian names and the workers wore Indian dress. In time the work was extended to include boys, and a hospital added. At the time of her death, there with 900 people in her care.
She died on this day in 1951, having asked that her grave in Dohnavur have no stone. The children instead put a bird bath on the grave which carried the simple inscription: "Amma" (which means 'mother' in the Tamil language).
Amy Carmichael once wrote of God that "it is a safe thing to trust Him to fulfil the desires which He creates". Her life bore testimony to the truth of that statement.
The Crushed and the Brokenhearted
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18) - If you are reading this, feeling crushed by ongoing restriction and loneliness then please do be assured of this: the LORD is near.
