Q: Power BI: The key didn't match any rows in the table I want to update imported data from SQL database in Power BI.
In data transformation/modelling, I changed the SQL Statement to:
select *
from my_table
where month_column = MONTH(getdate())
and year_column = YEAR(getdate())

This worked in the Power Query Editor(as well as in SQL server) but as I selected Close & Apply it caught error:

Tried:
According to Chris' article, it might be that something has been deleted or been renamed in my data source, but I checked all the column names are the same.
A Power BI community answer suggested potential cause due to credentials, also checked and there was no problem with that.
Also, I tried to close SQL and rerun the SQL Statement in Power BI but it didn't help.
Lastly, I came across this Power BI community answer:

Although it's about Excel, it shares the similar idea as Chris' article. I have created and added columns after importing the data from SQL, which then exist in my current table but not in the SQL data I'm trying to import, can this be the reason? Or is it a Power BI internal connection glitch, given that the SQL Statement actually worked in the SQL Server and Power BI data modelling ?

Who we are, how our beliefs and behaviors shape our lives, and the ability to evolve into the most complete and beautiful expressions of who we are as human beings has been a huge interest of mine, for as long as I can remember.
It is truly extraordinary how much power we have to create the lives we want. No longer do we have to be bound by the experiences of our past or tripped up by non-productive behaviour. We can change it, and my focus and passion has been to discover how.
Academically, I attended McGill University in Montreal as well as the University of Toronto and achieved my Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology, but there was another, and very important, educational path I took. It was my own personal journey of awareness. This path taught me how to transform my fears and doubts into power and with this, I realized that I had a responsibility to share this knowledge with others. In writing The Personal Empowerment Program I have had the privilege of helping so many people create deeply fulfilling lives and careers.
I absolutely love helping people solve the riddles in their lives, stop self-sabotaging behaviour and reach their goals! Clients tell me that my positive energy combined with insight and simple, clear techniques have transformed their lives! In each session you will get my complete focus on the issues you are dealing with, as well as my full commitment to helping you make the changes you desire.
The One on One Counseling sessions, Relationship Communication Skills, Teen and Young Adult Empowerment Program and Stress Reduction Skills I offer are absolutely transformational! In addition to this, I have a comprehensive list of highly skilled professionals in complementary modalities that you can draw from should you need support in other areas.
As well, throughout the year I teach a wide variety of empowerment workshops, speak to interest groups and businesses interested in expanding their awareness, publish articles on a regular basis and do radio and television interviews.
I'm looking forward to helping you create the best life possible!
You are a miracle. You were born to be unique.

Commercial buildings can reduce their carbon emissions by a third by the year 2020, creating significant savings on energy bills, according to the Carbon Trust.
The trust suggests that a net benefit of £4 billion pounds could be made by implementing energy efficiency measures on all 1.8 million commercial buildings in the UK.
A recent survey from the Confederation of British Industry revealed that a number of businesses are already implementing their own energy efficiency measures in a bid to reduce their carbon footprint and the associated costs. Over one-third of businesses chose to switch their energy supplier in the past year.
Recommendations for achieving the targets were given including the installation of lighting and heating controls and, after the year 2020, the installation of ground source heat pumps and triple glazing as standard.
Stuart Farmer, head of buildings strategy at the Carbon Trust, said: "Commercial and public buildings offer the UK a big bang for its carbon reduction buck. But it won't just happen on its own; energy efficiency needs to be the first and second priority."
He added that measures need to be put in place to ensure that the UK reaches its carbon reduction commitment. These included a programme in conjunction with energy suppliers to "install simple, low cost energy efficiency measures in SME buildings".

It is a new week for Addicted To Stamps and More Challenge. This week challenge theme is Clean and Simple.
I made this card with the digital image, Christmas Poinsettia, from A Day For Daisies.
I resized the image and printed couple of them on letter size white cardstock. I let it sit to dry well for several minites before I colored the flower.
I used the Simply Art watercolor paint from Loew Cornell. It is the same watercolor paint my daughter uses 🙂 Since it is not a watercolor paper, I tried not to used lots of water. I did not wet the image, but wet my brush and pick up the color, then colored it.
I added some glitter on the watercolored image with Wink Of Stella glitter brush for some extra shine and bling.
Then I die-cut the panel with one of the Fancey Frame dies from Craftin Desert Divas. I stamped the sentiment from Merry Merry stamp set from Close To My Heart.
For the background card, I embossed kraft cardstock using Close To My Heart Woodgrain embossing folder and WRMK Evolution Advance machine.
My card is simple and flat. I hope this card inspires you to create Clean-And-Simple card this week. Link up your card at Addicted To Stamps and More Challenge #214 to have a chance to win the prize.
Beautiful and whimsical poinsettias, Helen! Love the soft shimmer of WOS, too. A Day For Daisies has gorgeous digital stamps!
Thank you, Cris 🙂 And Yes A Day for Daisies has lots of pretty images.
pretty poinsettia coloring Helen! The sparkle is festive for sure!
Gorgeous card, Helen! I love how expertly you colored these poinsettias–such a soft and sparkly effect. Thanks for inspiring me today!
Beautiful job with the watercoloring. So pretty and the extra glitter is so pretty. Thanks for sharing at ATCAS!

Петербурзька вулиця — частково пішохідна вулиця в історичному центрі Казані, одна з комплексних пам'яток міста. Попередні назви вулиці — Свердлова, Георгіївська.

Вулиця пролягає від центральної міської площі Тукая на північному заході до перпендикулярної їй вулиці Назарбаєва на південному сході. Протяжність вулиці — 1800 м, з них 530 м є пішохідними.

Пішохідна частина вулиці радикально реконструйована за підтримки уряду Санкт-Петербурга до 1000-річчя Казані. Основна архітектурно-художня ідея вулиці — створення «куточка Петербурга», з використанням стилізованих містків, огорожі і малюнків мощення пішохідної еспланади (символізують петербурзькі канали), ротонди (символізує петербурзький Казанський собор), скульптурно-монументальних композицій і інших архітектурних прийомів і малих форм.

Вулиця забудована переважно новими будівлями.

На початку вулиці встановлено пам'ятник Льву Гумільову, а також знаходяться великий торгово-розважальний комплекс «Кільце», торговий центр «Республіка» і готель «Татарстан».

На вулиці розташовані міжнародний гранд-готель «Казань» з оглядовим майданчиком, готелі «Регіна» та «Сулейман-палас», художня галерея Слави Зайцева, Ощадбанк, Міністерство спорту і молоді Татарстану, старообрядницький Покровський кафедральний собор Пресвятої Богородиці, технопарк «Ідея» з інвестиційно-венчурним фондом Татарстану, центр інформаційних технологій Татарстану з IT-парком, Будинок офіцерів, численні офіси.

В кінці вулиці розташований ресторанно-розважальний комплекс «Туган авилим (Рідне село)» з декількома новими будівлями і спорудами різьбленої дерев'яної архітектури, а також споруджено казкового виду Палац дітей з найбільшим в Росії ляльковим театром «Екіят», біля якого влітку розбивається квітковий фестиваль, а взимку — льодове містечко.

В районі перетину з вулицею Назарбаєва знаходиться офіс МУП «Метроелектротранс» і розташована алея Слави з експозицією історичних трамвайних вагонів, пам'ятним барельєфом і Деревом любові.

На початку і наприкінці вулиці розташовані дві станції Казанського метрополітену — відповідно «Площа Тукая» і «Суконна слобода».

'Punk' Magazine's Iconic Covers That Captured the Rise of the '70s NYC Scene
By Alison Nastasi
Artist John Holmstrom, publisher Ged Dunn, and journalist Legs McNeil started Punk magazine in 1976 as former high school friends looking for scene cred and free drinks. The cartoons meets rock fanzine captured the flavor of New York City's Lower East Side and its thriving underground art and music world. Forty years later, gallery and performance space Howl! Happening is looking back at Punk's colorful history with an exhibition commemorating the magazine's first issue, featuring Loud Reed on the cover (drawn by Holmstrom). The show runs January 14 to January 30.
The inaugural issue was printed on just four sheets of newsprint and included interviews with Reed and the Ramones (the latter conducted by American Psycho and I Shot Andy Warhol director Mary Harron), a rant titled "Death to Disco Shit! Long Live the Rock!," and a photo comic starring McNeil trying to pick up girls outside CBGBs. Punk's contributors included artists like Robert Romagnoli, who replaced Robert Crumb at the Village Voice, and CBGBs door girl Roberta Bayley, who took the group shot of the Ramones that wound up on the cover of their first record. Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Brian Eno, and the Clash were amongst the other luminaries interviewed. The magazine folded in 1979 after just 17 issues due to high overhead costs, but the art, editorials, and spirit of Punk captured a movement we're still talking about decades later. See a preview of the magazine's iconic covers in our gallery.
The opening event will feature Ken Weiner drawing "ugly portraits," Holmstrom's work from the CBGB film, artifacts like the Sex Pistols Puppets featured on Punk #14, original press sheets from the magazine's first issue, and samples of the Punk clothing line from Japan.

New ToeJam & Earl game, 8Bitdo controller get Genesis nostalgia right [Updated]
March 1, 2019 Blake Game 0
Roughly a week ago, two bulletins landed in my inbox from companies eager to capitalize on Sega Genesis nostalgia. I nearly shrugged them off, since neither actually came from Sega. But their coincidental, nearly simultaneous appearance triggered a wave of '90s nostalgia that made me bite.
The result has been a solid few days back in my early-'90s childhood, as if I were firmly planted in front of a massive CRT TV with some of my favorite games of the era. (If you're wondering: this '80s-kid author absolutely had a lengthy "Genesis does what Nintendon't" phase.) My recent feeling may have emerged, in part, because Sega's current handlers left Genesis fans out to dry during the tiny-console fad. The less said about the AtGames Genesis Flashback—an atrocious cash-in that followed the NES Classic—the better.
But this week's one-two punch of releases was just what I needed to wash a foul taste of wasted nostalgia out of my mouth: the 8Bitdo M30 gamepad and the new game Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove. Both feel a whole lot like 1992: hardly revolutionary in modern terms, yet somehow packed with that singular, early-'90s feeling of new, refreshing ideas around every corner.
So, please humor this Sega fanboy with a twin-review trip down Genesis lane.
It's not old—it's funky
In the new game's opening cinematic, ToeJam and Earl go on a joyride above Earth's orbit.
They crank up some tunes.
ToeJam suggests that Earl hit the big, red button. Earl says this is a bad idea, but ToeJam insists, so…
…all heck breaks loose.
After being sucked into a black hole, ToeJam, Earl, and their friends must scour their new reality to find their ship's parts and get back to Planet Funkotron. Sound familiar?
For reasons that will become clear in a second, any conversation about the new entry in the ToeJam & Earl franchise is incomplete without a history primer. ToeJam & Earl is a funny footnote in Sega Genesis history, precisely because the original 1991 game—with its rap-loving, smack-talking aliens—very well could have been the attitude-filled mascot game to directly face off against Nintendo. Of course, someone else at Sega famously took that job and, er, ran with it.
In spite of its hip-hop styling and cartoony characters, TJ&E was never going to blow the gaming world up as effectively as Sonic's massive sprites, diverse worlds, and high-speed scrolling. Instead, the series rounded out Genesis's early library by combining the PC-gaming concept of rogue-like adventuring into a kid-friendly quest. Two major aspects of every playthrough were always randomized: the level designs and the kinds of items that your heroes could pick up and use to survive their slow, funky walks past Earth's harmful denizens.
And that's… pretty much all you did. Neither ToeJam nor Earl blasted ray guns or stomped baddies' heads. Adventuring revolved around uncovering each level's randomly generated terrain to find the 10 rocket ship parts you needed to beat the game. The catch, of course, was its co-op support, which meant two friends could wander together and even go separate directions to explore different parts of each world, at which point the screen would auto-magically split in half. The result was something simple enough to hand to anybody with a passing knowledge of console games: nowhere near as complicated as a flight simulator, but also not as brain-numbingly simple as the board game Candyland.
Genesis of success: 20 years of Sega's dark horse console
The original 1991 game's focused formula was never repeated in either of its sequels. TJ&E2 opted for a more traditional, side-scrolling platformer, while the OG Xbox exclusive TJ&E3 was a confused, collect-a-thon mess. In both cases, interviews have hinted that the games suffered from meddling producers or other outside forces that didn't care for the OG Genesis design.
Freedom from upstairs meddling was one of the selling points when the series' creators announced a reboot in 2015. At the time, they promised to make the series' first "true sequel."
A whopping four years later, here we are, with ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove. In very good news, all of that time in the oven did nothing to stymie or complicate the basic, satisfying thrust of the original game. Instead, Back in the Groove is boosted by even more roguelike weirdness and multiplayer support.
Back in the Groove: Just what the Genesis doctor ordered
Smooth split-screen options are appreciated.
If a bad guy's getting close, find a way to hide. Diving into water is one option, though that'll run your oxygen meter out. Or just hide in some sunflowers.
Chilling with a friendly character (as indicated by a white sparkle effect) also works in a pinch. Here, Gandhi asks us to embrace love.
A sampling of the unfriendly earthlings you'll encounter. "Internet Troll" is a personal favorite.
Use this button-tapping mini-game to earn experience points and cash.
The same "ranking" system from the Genesis original returns. More XP means more stats. (And, yes, "dufus" is a serious step up from the starting class of "wiener.")
A better look at what the stats mean (but you don't pick which ones go up every level).
In the character select screen, you get to actually see exactly how the heroes' stats differ. Hi there, old-school ToeJam.
New-school Earl is much slower.
You'll have to use special items to reach the gift-filled "backer island," which randomly appears and (assumedly) includes a real Kickstarter backer's likeness.
Glide across a frozen lake in any ice zone.
Or use a flashlight in a dark zone. If you get the right random item, you can turn all lights on in dark levels, but I dig how this 3D lighting effect looks in action.
You'll need to talk to "helpful" Earthlings to figure out what your randomly granted items are. Or just open them and see how good, or bad, the results are.
Some of the items in the new game.
More of the items.

As shown above, Back in the Groove looks remarkably like the original game, at least in terms of basic framing. A camera hovers above the world in 3/4 perspective, and players walk around randomly generated levels to find their broken rocket ship's various parts. Collect 10 of them to win, and pick up random items along the way to help as various harmful Earthlings start getting up in your extraterrestrial grill.
The original game shone as a two-player adventure, and that quality has been boosted by the modern age. First of all, if you have four controllers to pass around, then the game's auto-magical screen-splitting feature will let you and three pals wander around random worlds on the same couch. It's pretty slick in action. You can elect to have the screen split based on who walks in which direction, or you can focus that screen-splitting so that, say, player one always breaks off to the top-left corner. Either way, this automatic process very rarely gets in the way of clarifying where each player is.
What's more, this split-screen fun carries over to an online mode, which supports random matchmaking in a pinch. However, we were unable to comprehensively test this mode during Back in the Groove's preview period on Windows PC, so there's no telling whether your online funk-venturing will run smoothly via the game's peer-to-peer matchmaking system. Either way, you can choose to toggle split-screen mode on or off while playing online, which is a nice touch.
TUNES?
The most high-tech thing about the original TJ&E, honestly, was what it did with the Genesis' turbo-charged Yamaha sound chip. That unique hardware powered the funky grooves and thudding slap-bass tones that the sample-driven Super Nintendo could never quite match.The newer game's funk-loaded soundtrack isn't nearly as impressive from a technical perspective, but it fits. There's really no better music to serve as the background of controlling a gold-chain-wearing alien as it runs away from a Segway rent-a-cop.
If you've played the original TJ&E recently, then much of Back in the Groove's content will look familiar. Pretty much every power-up from the original game is back, including rocket skates, flight-enabling wings, and throwable, weaponized tomatoes. The original armies of helpful and harmful Earthlings are back, as well, including a mischievous Cupid whose arrows temporarily rotate your d-pad 45 or 90 degrees and a hula girl who temporarily makes your character stop and dance (which can set you up for getting run into by another harmful human).
In good news, the suite of items and baddies alike ramps up to accommodate increased difficulties, including a few more weaponized item options (some of which must be unlocked by beating the game multiple times).
The biggest knock I'd offer comes from the relatively cheap aesthetics. Though I do like the art direction in terms of the hand-drawn characters, Back in the Groove's cutout-character animation style doesn't flatter these drawings. The wiggly characters in action look less like Paper Mario and more like a cheap Flash game. There's also the matter of lacking voice acting. So much of the dialogue is relegated to text, which certainly injects fun into the proceedings, but an optional "tutorial" run of the game's first few levels comes complete with voiced instructions. Hearing those again as I double-checked aspects of the game reminded me of how quiet the game feels.
But there's no shortage of silly text quips, if that's appropriately retro to you, and the hand-drawn characters do come with a delightful, '90s-Nicktoon wackiness, which feels totally appropriate. I'd say that's enough to fulfill the sales pitch: a low-stakes co-op adventure game that you can laugh through with some friends. You won't survive insane battles or sleuth out brain-bending puzzles; instead, you'll half-run, half-sneak through a world of goofy cartoon faces and outlandish cartoon butts, which you must navigate as an alien by equipping spring-loaded shoes and high-fiving your co-op partners to keep their health bar up to snuff in a pinch.
The series' original formula scales well for randomized levels and item acquisition. Back in the Groove certainly lacks the depth of the single-player roguelike adventure game The Binding of Isaac, and its fun expires more quickly when played solo. But the opportunity to go back to its colorful, accessible worlds as a duo, trio, and quartet does plenty to make me want to dive back for a few more full runs (which I'd approximate at roughly two hours a pop, at least on "normal" difficulty).

The most accomplished composer in the history of the American musical theatre was Richard Rodgers (1902-1979), with a professional career on Broadway that spanned more than 50 years. In an edition designed especially for singers, 45 songs have been carefully chosen from both the Rodgers & Hart and Rodgers & Hammerstein output. The accompaniments support the singer, rather than containing the melody in the piano part throughout, as in the standard sheet music editions of these songs. Most of these songs are transposed for the first time ever in this new collection. The song selection is almost the same for High Voice and Low Voice; (Soliloquy from Carousel only appears in in Low Voice, and My Lord and Master from The King and I only appears in in High Voice).

Cardinal Cupich ordained Bishops Mark Bartosic, Robert Casey and Ronald Hicks in front of a packed congregation in Holy Name Cathedral Sept. 17.
In 2003, Bishop Robert Casey took time off between his time as rector of Casa Jesús and taking up his assignment as pastor of Our Lady of Tepeyac Parish. He spent 40 days walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. The pilgrimage was not easy, filled as it was with days of walking challenging terrain in 100-degree heat.
The day that the Holy See announced that it was appointing three new auxiliary bishops for Chicago, no one was able to get a comment from Bishop Ronald Hicks. He was in Spain, on a 30-day Ignatian silent retreat.

Often you want to observe a model object from multiple parts in your code. KVO can work, but I find it can get a mess. Using a listener protocol for each model makes it clear what can change, and who's listening.

DMListener offers an easy way to add listeners to your classes. It takes care of deallocation, so just add any view or controller as listener :)

Take a look at the example project, or [BitStore](https://github.com/BitStore/BitStore-iOS) where I'm using this in productive code.

## Installation

DMListener is available through [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org). To install
it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

    pod "DMListener"

If you're not using CocoaPods you'll find the source code files inside `Pod/Classes`.

## Usage

A model class using DMListener would look like this:

	#import <DMListener/DMListeners.h>

	@implementation DMDemoModel {
	    DMListeners* _listeners;
	}

	- (instancetype)init {
	    if (self == [super init]) {
	        _listeners = [[DMListeners alloc] init];
	    }
	    return self;
	}

	- (void)addListener:(id<DMDemoModelListener>)listener {
	    [_listeners addListener:listener];
	}

	- (void)refreshData {
	    [self performSelector:@selector(dataRefreshed) withObject:nil afterDelay:1.0];
	}

	- (void)dataRefreshed {
	    [_listeners notifyListeners:^(id<DMDemoModelListener> listener) {
	        [listener demoModelChanged:self];
	    }];
	}

	@end

And to be notified of changes just call the addListener method:

	DMDemoModel* model = [[DMDemoModel alloc] init];
	[model addListener:self];

Take a look at the example project. You'll see a demo implementation inside `DMAppDelegate.m`

To run the example project you first have to run `pod install` from the Example directory.

Steve and I rang in The Year of The Snake at Sunda, for their celebratory menu recognizing the Chinese New Year. They offered delicious specials from Chef Jess DeGuzman along with a traditional Chinese Dragon Dance. Steve travels to China a lot and enjoyed the authenticity of the food and Chinese customs that were incorporated into the night.
To drink, I started with a Billy's Super Fresh Saketini.
Steve had the Grass Tiger. Both were fantastic and refreshing.
I always love the range of flavors in this dish and this time was no exception. The serving was plentiful, and no doubt great tasting.
The mushrooms were excellent, and truffle soy was not over powering, just the way it should be.
Think your typical American style Chinese sesame chicken, and then jazz it up a bit.
I thought it was really good and reminded me of a dish I ate in Beijing.
The presentation was incredible. They take the skeleton of the red snapper and deep fry it. The filleted chunks of meat once attached to the fish are deep fried and sit below the the skeleton on the plate for you to enjoy. Bok Choy is one of my favorite Chinese veggies! It was "off the hook"!
The flavors were fantastic and an upscale version of pepper beef!
Asian pancake, roasted duck, cabbage, carrots, crispy skin, scallion, hoisin.
These were absolutely amazing. Probably my favorite dish.
It reminded me of an incredible China style taco.
This was really light and the tofu acts like a sponge and soaks up the flavors from the scallions, chili's, and garlic. For those vegetarians, this is a good dish to get your protein on.
Mushroom, Ginger, Scallion, black beans, sesame soy.
The concept and presentation of this dish was wonderful. Steve remarked this was the most authentic Chinese style dish that was served, and that he has eaten many similar style dishes in Fuzhou, located on the China eastern seaboard across from Taipai.
Steve has a sweet tooth. Of course he couldn't pass on some Mochi mixed flavors served along side an assortment of dipping sauces. Yummy!
Our evening was fun and perfect. I highly recommend you plan to go to Sunda next year to ring in the Chinese New Year! The service was expectational and the staff was very friendly. Sunda is one of my favorite upscale and trendy Asian spots to eat in Chicago. It's a Chicago hot spot and you probably will see a celebrity there; I saw Olympian Jordan Weaver!

Michael Brown Family To March In New York For Eric Garner, Man Killed By Cop Chokehold
By Inae Oh
Lesley McSpadden, right, the mother of 18-year-old Michael Brown, watches as Brown's father, Michael Brown Sr., holds up a family picture of himself, his son, top left in photo, and a young child during a news conference Monday, Aug. 11, 2014, in Ferguson, Mo. Michael Brown, 18, was shot and killed in a confrontation with police in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo, on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson)
The parents of Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old who was fatally shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, will attend a rally in support of Eric Garner, the Staten Island man who died after being placed in a chokehold by police last month.
Around 15,000 people are expected to attend the Saturday demonstration. Participants will start near the area where Garner was killed and will then head toward the Staten Island District Attorney's office to demand justice.
The march will symbolically link the deaths of Brown and Garner to shed light on harmful policing strategies and patterns of racism by police forces across the country.
"There's a pattern here. And the pattern is a predisposition toward disproportionate force, toward violence, on black men," Rev. Jesse Jackson told The Wall Street Journal during a telephone interview from Ferguson.
On Sunday, Sharpton joined Brown's parents, Michael Brown Sr. and Lesley McSpadden, along with thousands of attendees at a protest in Ferguson, where he called Brown's death a "defining moment on how this country deals with policing." He also called upon police departments to end the use of military-style weapons.
Ferguson has seen violent encounters between protestors and the police since Brown's death on Aug. 9. Although Garner's death on July 17 provoked national outrage, rallies have remained relatively peaceful.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will not be attending Saturday's rally, but he urged participants to stay peaceful. He cited a 2012 march denouncing stop-and-frisk tactics as an example of what a successful, non-violent demonstration can do to bring about policy change.
"It was the decisive moment in crystalizing support for change in the stop-and-frisk policy," de Blasio said. "It was an absolutely peaceful demonstration that got its message out and there was absolute coordination between the police and protesters.
On Tuesday, Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan announced a special grand jury would convene to determine whether criminal charges should be brought in Garner's death, which was officially ruled a homicide by a medical examiner.
But Sharpton argued, as he has since Garner's death, that the federal government should instead head the investigation.
"I am in consultation with the lawyers and family on the announcement ... but we still maintain that we have asked the federal government to intervene in this case," Sharpton said, following the district attorney's statement. "This announcement does not impact our move for federal takeover of this case at all."

By Barry Wittenstein, Keith Mallett (Illustrator)
This groovy, bebopping picture book biography chronicles the legendary jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins's search for inspiration on the Williamsburg Bridge after quitting the jazz scene in 1959.
Rollins is one of the most prolific sax players in the history of jazz, but, in 1959, at the height of his career, he vanished from the jazz scene. His return to music was an interesting journey--with a long detour on the Williamsburg Bridge. Too loud to practice in his apartment, Rollins played on the New York City landmark for two years among the cacophony of traffic and the stares of bystanders, leading to the release of his album, The Bridge.
Written in rhythmic prose with a bebop edge, this picture-book biography of Sonny Rollins's journey to get his groove back will delight young and old fans alike.
Barry Wittenstein has worked at CBS Records, CBS News, and was a web editor and writer for Major League Baseball. He is now an elementary-school substitute teacher and children's author. He is the author of The Boo-Boos That Changed the World: A True Story About an Accidental Invention (Really!) and Waiting for Pumpsie.
Keith Mallett studied art at Hunter College in New York City. He was the in-house artist for Frontline Art Publishers for fifteen years. Keith's work was commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's historic breakthrough into major league baseball, has graced the cover of Chicken Soup for the African American Soul, and has been featured in many movies and TV shows. He is the illustrator of Take a Picture of Me, James VanDerZee and How Jelly Roll Morton Invented Jazz. www.keithmallett.com
♦ An appropriately jazzy picture-book biography of African-American musician Sonny Rollins. It impresses from the endpapers, which mirror a vinyl LP in its paper sleeve and then playing on a turntable, to the liner notes about Rollins' seminal album "The Bridge" in the back. Born and raised in Harlem, Rollins grew up at the perfect time for a jazz musician. Written in free verse that flirts with rhyme, the text moves through measures and beats like the up-and-down swings of jazz. The vibrant, digitally created illustrations set the mood as they go from deep blue and purple nighttime hues to bright daytime tones and back again. The birth of Rollins' career is explored as he acquires and falls in love with his first horn and learns the nuances of jazz by sneaking into some of the greatest clubs in Harlem. By the time he's 19 people have started to notice how great he truly is. He spends most of the 1950s playing two shows a day, every day. Ten years later he needs a sabbatical: "Sonny knows if he don't jump, / He. Won't. Last." He practices on the Williamsburg Bridge, and the first album after his return is called "The Bridge." Child readers may not have thought much about Rollins, but Wittenstein's admiration for his subject establishes his importance. All the characters present as African-American. Opens the door for further exploration of both man and music.
♦ The life of jazz legend Sonny Rollins pulses with the rousing spontaneity of his music in Wittenstein's free verse biography. Readers witness Rollins's career as an acclaimed musician followed by his explosive success and the subsequent reincarnations of his art. When Rollins feels like his career is one out-of-control improvisation, he ducks out of the limelight, devoting days and nights to playing his sax on the Williamsburg Bridge. On that bridge, he does some soul-searching; after two years, he returns to the spotlight as a more confident, grounded musician. Wittenstein's verse replicates the swift tempo of bebop, interspersing rhyme and combining informal vernacular with a sense of extemporization in the rhythm. Some words, such as "per-co-lat-ing," are punctuated at every syllable, each striking like a staccato note. Others are emphasized in all caps and are onomatopoeic ("BOOM BOP BEBOP!"). Mallett's smooth, bold illustrations are rendered in dusky purples, moody blues, and earth tones: colors suggesting notes of jazz swirling through a thick night sky. An author's note, liner notes to Rollins's seminal album, The Bridge, a time line, and additional content provide an opportunity for further exploration. VERDICT Pair with Rollins's music to introduce children to this legendary musician and to the rhythmic exuberance of jazz.
—School Library Journal, starred review
This insightful biography of Sonny Rollins opens with two New Yorkers hearing the sound of saxophone: "What the heck is Sonny Rollins doing on the Williamsburg Bridge?" Wittenstein turns back the clock as Mallett depicts formative moments from Rollins's life alongside concurrent historical events: Rollins is born at the time of the Harlem Renaissance, and discovers a love for saxophone as WWII soldiers march and eventually give way to civil rights demonstrators. After Rollins's music career launches and he "rockets to the top of the jazz universe," the book fast forwards to Rollins's mid-career moment of crisis: "Looks in the mirror,/ doesn't like what he sees./ Name bigger than talent." Seeking a private place to play (Rollins leans dejectedly on his fire escape, his saxophone resting against the railing, the sun setting over the Manhattan skyline), he finds solace in practicing on the bridge, which connects "the old to the new," and leads to a new recording. Wittenstein fluidly provides historical context while exploring the ebbs and flows of the artistic process. Back matter discusses Rollins's The Bridge album.
Walter Theodore "Sonny" Rollins was born during the Jazz Age in the cradle of the Harlem Renaissance. After WWII, jazz slowly morphed into bebop, and Sonny was in the middle of it. Overwhelmed by early fame, the young saxophonist decided to take a break from the limelight —until the siren song called again, and he began practicing on the Williamsburg Bridge, away from complaining neighbors. The text is divided into "sets," framing the narrative within the larger historical moments, and Wittenstein presents the story in jaunty, lyrical phrasings. He also works in the titles of famous standards like "Stompin' at the Savoy" and "Take the 'A' train." Mallett's palette alternates between royal purples and sandy browns, with the digital art seeming to glow during Sonny's highs and dim during his lows. The back matter details some of his heavier moments, including issues with substance abuse, and it mentions a current-day project to rename the Williamsburg Bridge after Rollins. A good choice for collections in need of biographies focused on music or lesser-known African American musicians.
A story about an adult's sabbatical from his professional life is an unusual concept for a children's book, but Barry Wittenstein's jazzy-rhythmed Sonny's Bridge makes perfect sense once it's in readers' hands.
In the 1940s, a young saxophonist named Sonny Rollins began sneaking into Harlem's Apollo Theater and Cotton Club to hear jazz musicians like John "Dizzy" Gillespie and Charlie "Bird" Parker. He began playing "two-bit joints," writing his own music and turning standards like Billie Holliday's "God Bless the Child" into his own. By his 20s, he had rocketed "to the top of the jazz universe." But when he was "twenty-nine in '59, in his prime,/ Sonny shatter[ed] the jazz world" by taking a break from performing and recording--the pressure had become too intense. Courageously, Sonny took an intermission: "No gigs, no deadlines, no pressure.... Sixteen hours every day, plays to his heart's de-light" in the small Lower East Side apartment he shared with his wife. When neighbors complained about the noise, Sonny looked for a private place where he could "make notes cry and squeak, beg and plead,/ bend 'em up, bend 'em sideways." He found that place on the Williamsburg Bridge, connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn.
For more than two years, Sonny found "refuge and sol-i-tude" on the pedestrian walkway of the bridge, playing only for himself and the trains and tugboats. When he emerged from his self-imposed exile, rumors swirled about what he'd been doing: Had he found a new sound? Was he afraid of the "younger cats on the prowl?" Was he even playing sax anymore? Sonny didn't care. He went back into the recording studio and entered "a new dimension:/ his subconscious/ 'cause 'you can't think and play at the same time.' " In ear-ly 1962, he released to acclaim a new album called The Bridge. He had become "more confident in himself as a musician and as a person," Wittenstein (Waiting for Pumpsie) writes in the "Liner Notes" of the book's back matter (which also include an author's note, a timeline of Rollins's life and additional notes and quotes).
Wittenstein's energetic text mimics the syncopated rhythms of jazz, incorporating the lingo and locales of the time. Keith Mallett's (How Jelly Roll Morton Invented Jazz; Take a Picture of Me, James VanDerZee) digital illustrations also capture the electric mood of the end of the bebop era. Using warm, vibrant colors, his depictions of Sonny and his cohort are expressive and full of life. Flashes of gold--a backlit Sonny, glowing streetlights and, always, Henrietta, his trusty sax--glitter through the pages. Readers accustomed to YouTube superstars will be intrigued by this story of one musician--who was already successful and famous--truly "find[ing] his groove" after stepping away from the limelight for an unimaginably long period (in today's terms) of more than two years.

The Great Divide: The Story of New Zealand & Its Treaty (Paperback)
By Ian Wishart
New Zealand to many is 'Middle Earth', home of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it was also the last major land mass on the planet to be settled by humans. The country was catapulted kicking and screaming from the stone age to the space age within 200 years of Captain Cook setting foot there... Who really got to New Zealand first? Which version of the Treaty of Waitangi is the most accurate? What impact did a massive asteroid strike in the 15th century have on human settlement in the South Pacific? IT'S A STORY THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU The biggest known earthquake-caused tsunami can create 60 metre walls of water - around six times larger than the Japan tsunami. This New Zealand one created by what is now known as the Mahuika comet strike - after the Maori god of fire - was what scientists call a "mega-tsunami", 220 metres tall, 22 times higher than the Japanese tsunami, as it thundered up the South Island's east coast. Waves that high have been known to penetrate up to 45km inland in other parts of the world. To put this in perspective, if you were dining in the revolving restaurant at Auckland's Sky Tower, 190 metres off the ground, you would still be 30 metres (100ft) underwater. A STORY TOLD WITH HUMOUR: When dawn broke the following morning, more canoes pulled alongside and translator Tupaea remarked to Cook the overnight guests were yelling over the rails to their friends, "It's OK to come on board, the white men don't eat people " "From which," Cook wryly and cautiously noted in his journal, "it should seem that these people have such a Custom among them." IN THE VOICES OF THOSE WHO WERE THERE: "About dinner time three canoes came alongside of much the most simple construction of any we have seen, being no more than the trunks of trees hollowed out by fire without the least carving or even the addition of a washboard on their gunnels. "The people in them were almost naked and blacker than any we had seen - only 21 in all - yet these few despicable gentry sang their song of defiance and promised us as heartily as the most respectable of their countrymen that they would kill us all." A STORY OF MISPLACED TRUST: Turning to Lieutenant Roux, du Fresne added: "How can you expect me to have a bad opinion of a people who show me so much friendship? As I only do good to them, assuredly they will do me no evil." AND THE CLASH OF CULTURES: By seven pm, word came through from the ships that "a great many more canoes, full of natives, had landed on the island." This was an all-out war involving, on one side, a battalion-strength team of Maori warriors drawn apparently from numerous tribes (about as many warriors as the current New Zealand Army can comfortably muster for any single military tour at the moment), and on the other 50 armed Frenchmen, most of them sailors. One side, of course, had gunpowder. The other side desperately wanted gunpowder. AND LESSONS LEARNED THE HARD WAY: Northland Maori in particular were beginning to amass quite a collection of captured weaponry, from the tempered steel of cutlasses and swords to the power of the mighty musket. The cardinal rule - never bang a casket of gunpowder - had been tested and learnt by the Ngati Uru of Whangaroa - and Maoridom's inevitable catch-up with European technology and power was well underway. There was, however, an even more potent force sailing over the horizon: missionaries. IN SHORT, IT'S OUR STORY...a story of migrants, the people they met, the future they forged.

Q: Facebook API I get "Method Not Implemented" error, but it works if i put the url in a browser When I call https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token I keep getting a return string that says "methed not iomplamented"
I'm calling it in php as follows
file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?my_ap_id&redirect_uri=http://www.besttechsolutions.biz/projects/facebook/index.phpclient_secret=MySecret458d628b1af&code=".$code);
I get
Method Not Implemented
Invalid method in request,
If I put the url in a browser, it worcks returning the code.  Why does it work in the browser, but not when I used the file_get_contents function????

A: I think your PHP function is doing a POST instead of a GET.  That's what Method Not Implemented usually means, that you're doing the wrong one.
When you put it in your browser it does a GET.

This page runs through all the things you'll need to do and the questions you should ask to make sure the surgeon is suitably qualified and experienced.
When looking for a surgeon to carry out a cosmetic surgical procedure, your GP may be the best person to contact first.
It's a good idea to talk to them about any health issues you have and whether these might affect or be affected by surgery. Your GP may also know who is an appropriately trained and experienced surgeon in the local area.
Check that the person who advises you about the surgery is the surgeon who will actually perform or supervise the procedure.
You should also check that the provider – the hospital, company or clinic – is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which is the independent regulator of health services in England.
The CQC advises that you do not sign up for cosmetic surgery at a hospital or clinic that can't provide evidence that it's registered with them.
Once you've confirmed that the provider is registered with the CQC, research the quality of their service.
You can do this by looking at the latest CQC inspection report, which appears when you search for the provider on the CQC website.
Next, gather as much information as you can about the procedure, the places that offer it (clinics and hospitals), and the surgeons who carry it out.
Visit clinics and hospitals, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Reputable services will be happy to discuss everything with you.
What level of care can I can expect after the operation? Who will look after me?
What happens if something goes wrong? What if I'm not satisfied with the result?
How much will it cost, including my aftercare? Will it cost extra to have further treatment if something goes wrong?
Don't choose a clinic or hospital far from where you live – you won't want to travel far after an operation.
The clinic or hospital you choose should offer you a consultation appointment with the surgeon who will perform or supervise the procedure.
Ask them if they are on the GMC's specialist register in the area of practice relevant to the procedure you have chosen. Also, ask if they're insured to perform cosmetic surgery in the UK.
Talk to the surgeon about what you want to change and why, the options available, and the likely results of a surgical procedure. Tell the surgeon about any medical conditions you have and all the medications you're taking.
Consider getting a second opinion, if necessary.
Ask the surgeon about their personal complication rate and the most common complications for their patients for this procedure.
The surgeon or clinic should not put pressure on you to have the surgery or to make a fast decision. It's normal to have at least two weeks after the consultation to decide whether to go ahead with the procedure.
Don't be pressured by talk of special offers that are for a limited time only. If you feel any pressure at all from the clinic or surgeon, go somewhere else.
Do I understand clearly what's going to be done to me?
Are my expectations of the results of the surgery realistic – not of perfection, but reasonable improvement?
Do I understand what could go wrong and, if so, could I cope if it did go wrong?
The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) website has some answers to common questions about surgery.
At the moment, doctors who provide cosmetic surgery independently in the private sector only need to be registered with and licensed by the General Medical Council (GMC) as a doctor.
There is no legal requirement for the doctor to be a specialist surgeon on the GMC's specialist register.
So to make cosmetic surgery as safe as possible, the Department of Health asked the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) to develop a certification system.
This certification system, being introduced in 2016, would enable surgeons who perform cosmetic surgery to demonstrate that they have the appropriate skills and experience to perform cosmetic surgical procedures.
Any surgeon who has been certified will have demonstrated that they have the appropriate training, skills and experience to perform the procedure. You'll simply be able to visit the RCS website to look for a certified surgeon, for that extra peace of mind.
Certification will be voluntary, but it is expected that all surgeons who want to carry out cosmetic surgery in the private sector will certify.

Not So Doggy Day
After finishing July with 13 90-degree days (season total so far: 20), temperatures at mid afternoon were mainly in the upper 80s in the Washington metro area with sunny skies and light and variable winds. Even Leesburg was in line with other locations at 88. Humidities were marginally comfortable with readings from the mid 60s to a bit over 70. The only showers on radar within a couple of hundred miles were tiny isolated spots in the mountains of West Virginia.
Low temperatures tonight under mostly clear skies should be near 70. Tomorrow will be a little warmer and more humid, highs in the low 90s.
Here is something we haven't seen much lately from the National Hurricane Center: "There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time." There are a couple of tropical waves each in the Caribbean and Atlantic, but none of them are showing signs of development in the near future.
Meanwhile, in the Indian Ocean region, heavy monsoon rains are continuing. The death toll is near 1000 in the Mumbai (Bombay) region, and more heavy rain is expected. The Indian Meteorological Department publishes a daily monsoon report along with rainfall data.
Hurricanes and Global Warming
Meteorology Professor Kerry Emanuel of MIT published an interesting study of hurricane intensity in the online edition of the journal Nature yesterday. The article, titled "Increasing destructiveness of tropical cyclones over the past 30 years", defines an "index of the potential destructiveness of hurricanes based on the total dissipation of power, integrated over the lifetime of the cyclone." The study finds that the index has "increased markedly since the mid-1970s." The increase results from both increased storm lifetimes and greater storm intensities. As measured by the index, the total destructiveness has roughly doubled over the 30-year period. The author concludes that "net hurricane power dissipation is highly correlated with tropical sea surface temperature." In other words, the observed increases in sea-surface temperatures appear to be related to increased total power of tropical storms.
These results are particularly significant because Prof. Emanuel, who is an expert in modeling hurricane intensity, has long been skeptical of alleged relationships between global warming and hurricanes. He is listed as the third author of a joint article titled "Hurricanes and Global Warming" which was accepted in June for publication in the Bulletin of the AMS. This article concludes that "claims of linkages between global warming and hurricanes are
misguided." Prof. Emanuel also wrote a favorable review in the May 2005 BAMS of Michael Crichton's scientifically dubious "State of Fear".
On the other hand, there are some serious caveats to the latest results. Improvements in airplane reconnaissance and satellite technology mean that recent storm data are more likely to be accurate than older data. This means that there is a relatively short time span available for comparison, even after making corrections for changes in methods of data analysis. A graph from the paper which is available online shows the wide scatter in the data points for the relationship between minimum air pressure and maximum winds. Hurricane-frequency forecaster Prof. William Gray of Colorado State University is quoted as saying, ''It's a terrible paper, one of the worst I've ever looked at." (C'mon, Dr. Gray, tell us what you really think!)
The full text of the article is only available by subscription, but it is being widely covered in the press:
Boston Globe: "Hurricanes more powerful, study says"
Seattle Times (Knight Ridder): "Scientist links global warming to rising ferocity of hurricanes"
Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Scripps Howard): "Increasing fury of tropical storms linked to warming sea"
Los Angeles Times: "Storms' Fury Linked to Warming"
Reflecting its continuing neglect of science and environmental issues, the Paper of Watergate and Don't Ever Forget It has the Associated Press article online and a 187-word blurb buried under "Ornithologists have discovered a male bird in South America that attracts mates by rubbing its wings together to generate 'songs.'" in the "Science Notebook" of the dead-tree edition.
Prof. Emanuel has published widely on the subjects of hurricanes and convection. He has a new book called Divine Wind on the history and science of hurricanes which is about to be published by Oxford University Press.
Prof. Gray is scheduled to release his updated hurricane season forecast on Friday.

Basha receives 2019 Undergraduate Research Mentor Award
Professor Elizabeth Basha receives 2019 Excellence in Undergraduate Research Mentoring Award
University of the Pacific is committed to providing undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in research, which applies theoretical learning to solve real-world problems and fosters discovery. In support of this commitment, in 2014 the Office of Undergraduate Research established the Excellence in Undergraduate Research Mentoring Award to recognize a faculty member each year for excellence in encouraging and mentoring undergraduate student research.
Elizabeth Basha '03, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering in the School of Engineering and Computer Science, was selected as the recipient of the 2019 Excellence in Undergraduate Research Mentoring Award. The award was announced during the university's annual Research Day event on April 27, which showcases faculty and student research and creative work. A dedicated teacher and highly respected scholar, Basha has made significant research contributions in the field of robotics and sensor networks.
Basha has a strong record of securing research funding, including a three-year NSF grant to investigate the use of aerial robotics to maintain sensor network systems, which supported student researcher participation as well as the purchase of robotic equipment. Funding she secured through a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant for aerial wetlands monitoring has supported a total of seven undergraduate research students on semester-long projects since fall 2017. She also established Pacific Tigers Engineering Abroad (PacTEA), a program that enables students to research and design real-world engineering solutions in projects throughout Central America.
"My goal with my students is to increase their comfort level with the unknown and their ability to work independently, to think critically about how to define a problem, create a solution and verify that solution solves the problem," said Basha.
Setting high standards for her research students, Basha encourages them to present and publish their work. Her mentees have presented research at peer-reviewed national and international conferences and have co-authored research projects published in peer-reviewed journals.
"Dr. Basha has allowed me to get real-world engineering experience that I would not have received just sitting in a classroom," said Trevor Speckman. "I have enjoyed working in cross-disciplinary teams and on problems ranging from designing a winch for raising and lowering Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) payloads to assisting in instrumentation for an autonomous golf cart."
Basha earned her undergraduate degree in computer engineering at Pacific and her master's and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She joined the Pacific faculty in 2010. The opportunity to work with students brought Basha back to University of the Pacific, rather than to a career in industry or a teaching position at a large research institution.
"I decided I wanted to teach, and at a place where teaching was really valued," Basha said. "It's fun to teach students how to think about problems and focus on the bigger picture."
She is deeply committed to experiential learning, which takes on many forms both inside and outside the classroom. She is dedicated to her students' success, and her students appreciate her passion for teaching and mentorship.
"Dr. Basha has been a great mentor for me as an electrical engineering student," said Angel Tejada '19. "The skills I've learned under her guidance have already been used outside my work for her, including my newfound knowledge of power systems I applied in my senior project—skills I would not have had if not for Dr. Basha."
