Q: How to further optimize the query after adding composite indexes? I have the following table:

province_id
owner_id
game_id
resource_production
valid_from
valid_until
static_province_id

auto incremented Integer
integer
integer
integer
timestamp
timestamp
integer

I have two indexes:

*

*test_valid_from(game_id, owner_id, valid_from, valid_until)

*test_valid_until(game_id, owner_id, valid_until, valid_from)

Every time the production of a province changes the valid_until timestamp of the old provinces gets set to the current timestamp. Also a new province is inserted with the current timestamp in the valid_from field. If the province is the newest province of its static_province_id in this game valid_until is null.
My Goal
I want to have a sub 1 second query that can get me the total resource production for every change in resource production of an owner in a specified game.
My first approach
1. Query
SELECT
    a.game_id,
    a.valid_from,
    a.owner_id,
    SUM(b.resource_production)
FROM
    (select distinct valid_from, owner_id, game_id from province) a
    JOIN province b
    ON  a.game_id = b.game_id
        AND a.owner_id = b.owner_id
        AND (
            (
                b.valid_from < a.valid_from
                and a.valid_from < b.valid_until
            )
            OR a.valid_from = b.valid_from
            OR (
                b.valid_until IS NULL
                AND b.valid_from < a.valid_from))
where a.game_id=1 and a.owner_id = 1
GROUP BY a.game_id, a.owner_id, a.valid_from

The query works, but it is way to slow as it takes about 17 seconds.
My second approach
i have read that the mysql optimizer might not use the index in multiple or conditions as it is the case in my first query with the valid_from and valid_until.
2.Query
select g.game_id, g.owner_id, g.valid_from, sum(g.rp) from (
    select a_b.game_id, a_b.owner_id, a.resource_production as rp, a_b.valid_from from(select distinct valid_from, owner_id, game_id from province) a_b
    join province a
    on a.game_id = a_b.game_id
            AND a.owner_id = a_b.owner_id
            AND
                (
                    a.valid_from < a_b.valid_from
                    and a_b.valid_from < a.valid_until
                )
    Union
    select b_b.game_id, b_b.owner_id, b.resource_production as rp, b_b.valid_from from(select distinct valid_from, owner_id, game_id from province) b_b
    join province b
    on b.game_id = b_b.game_id
            AND b.owner_id = b_b.owner_id
            AND b.valid_from = b_b.valid_from
    Union
    select c_b.game_id, c_b.owner_id, c.resource_production as rp, c_b.valid_from from(select distinct valid_from, owner_id, game_id from province) c_b
    join province c
    on c.game_id = c_b.game_id
            AND c.owner_id = c_b.owner_id
            AND (
                c.valid_until IS NULL
                AND c_b.valid_from < c.valid_from )) g
where g.game_id=1 and g.owner_id=1
group by g.game_id, g.owner_id, g.valid_from

The 2. query neither works nor is it fast enough at about 14 seconds. It doesn't work because it returns the wrong total production for every timestamp. I hope that you can help me because  I am out of ideas.

A: Deleting the two indexes, and adding this one seems to improve performance (When I was able to reproduce a correct set of test-data.... )
The suggested index is:
CREATE INDEX test_key on province(game_id, owner_id, valid_from, valid_until, resource_production);

You can test it by running this DBFIDDLE, and look at the times produce by SHOW PROFILES.
After running it, comment the CREATE INDEX that I am suggesting to use, and uncomment the currently commented indexes (the 2 index you have currently), and re-run the fiddle again, to see the changed times in SHOW PROFILES.
This suggested index is covering, because all used fields are contained in the index.
It would be nice to know if, and how much, this improves ...

A: *

*Start with moving these into the first 'derived' table:
 where  a.game_id = 1
   and  a.owner_id = 1

*Have this index (as Luuk suggests):
 INDEX(game_id, owner_id, valid_from, valid_until,  resource_production)

*Then see my questions in the Comments above.

*After that, I may have more advice.

Department head authors chapter on Autism Spectrum Disorder
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Diane Williams, head of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Penn State, is author of a chapter in The Wiley Handbook of Memory, Autism Spectrum Disorder and the Law, released in July.
Williams authored the chapter, "Executive Function and Complex Processing Models," which describes the challenges individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have with autobiographical memory.
"These challenges are explained using an information processing model of thinking—how the brain handles incoming and outgoing information," Williams said. "The chapter discusses the implications of the problems with memory and information processing when individuals with ASD interact with representatives of the legal system."
The book, edited by Jonni Johnson, Gail Goodman and Peter Mundy, all of the University of California, Davis, examines how autobiographical memory operates in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and provides insights into current challenges faced by legal professionals, forensic psychologists, clinicians and others who provide services to those with ASD.

Each time, Louisiana beneficiaries the plan basically covers 75% of the cost of prescription every year. The recipient has to pay initial deductible quarterly costs to the beneficiaries.
Medicare Part D plans under Louisiana are divided into four price levels which are called tiers. Tier one is known as the lowest and tier four as the highest. All the generics and inexpensive drugs are known as low tier drugs while the brand name and costly drugs comes under the highest tier.
Louisiana Medicare Part D provides financial relief for some fortunate individuals whose income is less than $16,248 or possesses fewer resources than $12,510. While some of the financial relief do exists for married couples whose incomes are less than $21,864 and are occupying less than $12,510 resources. All those people who are enrolled in both Medicaid and Medicare are automatically enrolled in a Part D drug plan.

In this way, it is important to research before picking the right one. Before going for any plan, get a clear understanding before deciding carefully about the creditable coverage and premiums.

The 2020 Pilot is by dimensions, Honda's largest SUV so far. It's a 3-row family vehicle that can accommodate seven or eight passengers, depending on the arrangement. The interior is spacious and very comfortable, with cloth or leather upholstery on higher trim levels. The 2020 Honda Pilot will have tough competition in the mid-size SUV class, the main rivals will be the Toyota Highlander, Subaru Ascent, Volkswagen Atlas and Ford Explorer.
The new model comes with a mid-cycle refreshment, updated safety systems, and fixed transmission issues on higher trims. The 2020 Honda Pilot is the point of reference for all 3-row SUV, with the versatile and broad cabin, high resale value, and reliability. Moreover, the powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine and an impressive all-drive system will make this SUV the most recommendable on the market.
The 2020 Honda Pilot will get a mid-cycle facelift that updates it fascias and makes the Honda Sensing safety system standard feature. Moreover, the hands-free power liftgate will make a debut as well. The company also deals with the issues from the previous versions, by adding a volume knob and polishing the 9-speed automatic transmission. Since the Japanese company decided to say bye to the boxy design of previous Pilots, the appearance of this vehicle is pretty sleek.
The overall shape is still mostly rounded, but Honda tries to tighten things up by adding more aggressive styling to the front and rear fascias. The end result is something between. Yes, the new Pilot looks more aggressive, generally in the front, but the rear end remains very spheroidal. The roof rails are now standard on higher trims and optional for the entry levels. Wheels come in different sizes, from 18-inches to the 20-inch rollers for the first-class Touring trim.
For the upcoming 2020 Honda Pilot, all models will have 3-row seating, but you can choose between seven or eight seats. Still, the majority of models are set up to accommodate eight passengers, via a 2nd-row bench. However, you can replace that with two captain's chairs, that are optional for Touring trim and standard on Elite models. This will increase comfort in the cabin and make access to the third row much easier, but it reduces total passenger count to seven.
The interior of the new Pilot is very spacious, and offer a lot more room than a Toyota Highlander. Still, it is slightly behind the class leaders like new Subaru Ascent or Volkswagen Atlas. The base LX trim comes with a relatively small 5-inch display and includes Honda Sensing safety and driver-assist suite. On the higher trim levels, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available as standard equipment.
The most popular trim of 2020 Honda Pilot is definitely the EX-L model. The EX-L has all the basic features and adds a leather interior, power tailgate, moonroof, and universal garage remote. Furthermore, you'll get a power-adjustable front passenger seat, acoustic windshield for a quieter cabin, and the Odyssey minivan-derived CabinTalk feature. This very useful feature allows you to speak to the kids at the back through their headphones.
The list of goodies continues with rear-sear window sunshades, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, driver seat memory function and leather-wrapped steering wheel. Also, there's an EX-L sub-trim that adds a rear entertainment system with a 10.2-inch screen with HDMI, navigation system, streaming apps, and a Blu-ray player. As a final point, a 110-volt power outlet is included as well. Under the hood of the EX-L will be the same 3.5-liter V6 engine, as on the other models with front-wheel drive as standard and all-wheel drive as optional.
The 2020 Honda Pilot comes with only one powertrain option: a 3.5-liter V6 engine. This unit is smooth and polished and can produce 280 hp with 262 lb-ft of torque. All Pilot models will have a front-wheel drive as a standard form and all-wheel drive as optional. With the higher trims, if you choose AWD you'll also get a terrain management system. Next, the new Pilot models will come with a 6-speed automatic transmission, or, in case of Elite and Touring trims, a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
Top-ranking models also use engine start/stop system that turns off the drivetrain at idle. However, if you're not a fan of starting and restarting, this can be disabled very easily. The new Honda Pilot is set to tow up to 5,000 for AWD variants, and up to 3,500 for front-drive models. The EPA city/highway fuel economy is 19/27 mpg for FWD with 6-speed automatic, 18/26 mpg for AWD with 6-speed automatic. As for models with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, the numbers are 20/27 mpg (FWD), 19/26 mpg (AWD).
The 2020 Honda Pilot comes with an MSRP starting at $32,500, for a base LX model. The EX trim comes with a starting price of $35,300 and adds more safety features and technological updates. This includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Furthermore, if you want leather interior, choose the EX-L model. This trim costs just under $39,000. The Touring model offers a 7-passenger seating and starts just over $43,500.

AAN Releases $2.6 Million Campaign Against Medicare Drug Price "Negotiation"
Mail, Print, and Digital Ads in 53 Districts Urge Congress to Oppose Bureaucrats Controlling Access
WASHINGTON – The American Action Network (@AAN) today announced a $2.6 million issue advocacy campaign against liberal plans to empower bureaucrats to "negotiate" Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. Launching this week, the ad campaign includes $900,000 in direct mail, $850,000 in print ads, and $850,000 in digital ads to seniors in 53 congressional districts nationwide. See the full list of 53 districts and activity here.
"The government 'negotiating' drug prices may sound like a good talking point, but it's terrible policy for seniors," said AAN President Mike Shields. "Seniors need to know that the part D prescription drug coverage they love is under threat because some politicians are pushing to give bureaucrats more control over Medicare prescription drug coverage."
"This will cause seniors to have less access to the medicines they need," Shields continued. "Seniors currently have more choices with affordable premiums because the marketplace is negotiating the drug prices, not the government. We urge seniors to call on their Member of Congress to stand against this power grab for bureaucrats at the expense of seniors' choice in medicine."
Current prescription drug price negotiations take place in a competitive Medicare Part D marketplace, which has held down average premiums to nearly half of the government's original estimates. Additionally, the Congressional Budget Office has repeatedly shown that government 'negotiations' on prescription drug prices will reduce seniors' access to medicine. Yet liberals in Congress and President Obama continue to fight to put bureaucrats in charge of Medicare Part D negotiations.
Seniors can take action by calling Congress and sending a message via DontCutOurMedicare.com.

Print Ad Example
This ad campaign builds on a $500,000 ad campaign AAN released in March against cuts to Medicare Advantage. Additionally, AAN spent $3 Million in December calling on Congress to stand for conservative solutions and protect America's seniors under the new leadership of Speaker Paul Ryan.
The American Action Network is a 501(c)(4) 'action tank' that creates, encourages and promotes center-right policies based on the principles of freedom, limited government, American exceptionalism, and strong national security. The American Action Network's primary goal is to put our center-right ideas into action by engaging the hearts and minds of the American people and spurring them into action to advance our center-right policy agenda.

Q: Is it possible to have a validation rule with a finely nuanced loophole to create and modify detail records? We have Opportunity with a custom checkbox property "Locked__c".
While this value is set to true (never mind how), it should be impossible to change any value on the Opportunity.
The Opportunity has a detail record "Requirement__c" with a checkbox property "Is_Completed__c".
The Opportunity has two roll-up summary fields  "Requirement_Count__c" and "Open_Requirement_Count__c", and as you might expect, adding or modifying these cascades into an update of the Opportunity, which therefore executes the Opportunity validation rules.
It must be possible to add and modify "Requirement__c" records even when the Opportunity is locked and we've gotten very close to the requirement with a validation rule that checks:
(
    (NOT( Locked__c )&&NOT(PRIORVALUE(Locked__c)))&&(

    && NOT(OR(
    ISCHANGED(Requirement_Count__c),
    ISCHANGED(Open_Requirement_Count__c)
    ))
)

But there is a corner case where this rule blocks changes when we don't want it to.
If the user simultaneously (re)opens and closes the same number of Requirement__c, the validation rule will reject the changes.
The validation has no way to distinguish between which Requirement__c are opening and closing.
I thought about trying to make this into a trigger, but as a trigger on Opportunity, at the time this executes, there would (so far as I know) also be know way of knowing the historic states of the Requirement__c, so we still can't make the distinction.
I also thought about adding a "Was_Completed__c" property to the "Requirement__c", but it seems to me that we'd need to simultaneously update this every time each "Requirement__c" related to the same Opportunity was updated, and we'd need to do this in a bulkified way, and somehow without recursion causing SFDC to throw a tantrum.  I'm not sure whether that is possible, but it seems a lot of work to deal with the corner case....
Is there a more elegant/practical way to accomplish this?

A: I've been handed several projects like this in the past, and I hate it every time it comes to my plate.
I wouldn't call my solution elegant, it is highly dependent on the Trigger Order of Execution, but it has worked for me in the past.
In a nutshell, to do this, I'd create a new checkbox field (let's call it Allow_Lock_Bypass__c, default to unchecked) on Opportunity, and purposely leave the field off of all page layouts (we don't want users to think they can use it to bypass business rules).
Your validation rule would then simply have the one exemption, based on whether or not Allow_Lock_Bypass__c is true/false. Something like
// We want the validation rule to complain in the case where any change is made to
//   the Opp after the transaction that locked the Opp has finished, and
//   we aren't explicitly allowing a lock bypass
AND(
    Locked__c,
    NOT(PRIORVALUE(Locked__c)),
    NOT(Allow_Lock_Bypass__c)
)

In the trigger for Requirement__c, you would explicitly update the related Opportunity (after insert/update/delete) and set Allow_Lock_Bypass__c to true.
// This'd work for insert and update
Map<Id, Opportunity> oppsToBypass = new Map<Id, Opportunity>();
for(Requirement__c req :trigger.new){
    if(!oppsToBypass.containsKey(req.Opportunity__c)){
        oppsToBypass.put(req.Opportunity__c, new Opportunity(
            Id = req.Opportunity__c,
            Allow_Lock_Bypass__c = true
        ));
    }
}

update oppsToBypass.values();

That should ensure that any insert/update/delete of a (or many) Requirement__c record should be allowed. The last piece of the puzzle is to automatically disable the bypass after all the work we care about is done.
For that, I use a workflow rule + field update. The evaluation criteria would be "created and any time record is updated", and the filter criteria would simply be Allow_Lock_Bypass__c = true (wouldn't even need the '= true' bit if you were to use a formula instead of the field picklists). You'd then need a field update to update the field back to false.
Like I hinted at before, the reason why this works comes down to the Order of Execution.
The relevant bits are:

*

*Before triggers are run

*Validation rules are evaluated

*After triggers are run

*Workflow rules are evaluated

*If there is a workflow field update, before and after triggers are run one more time (and only once more), but validation/workflow is skipped
Tracing the expected execution flow...

*

*Requirement__c triggers are run

*You explicitly update related Opportunities (setting Allow_Lock_Bypass__c to true)

*Opportunity before update triggers are run (no problems at this stage)

*Opportunity validation rules are evaluated, Allow_Lock_Bypass__c is true, so we aren't given any trouble

*Opportunity after update triggers are run

*Opportunity workflow is run, we see that Allow_Lock_Bypass__c is true, so we fire a field update to set it back to false

*Opportunity before and after triggers run again, validation is bypassed, so we don't run into any issues

*Control returns to your after trigger(s) on Requirement__c
I think the only gotcha here is that if you have workflow field updates on Requirement__c, you might run into issues (because I think validation and workflow for Opportunity would be run again if your Requirement__c triggers update the Opportunities again on the trigger run after the field update). Having a flow/process builder active might also screw things up (since that happens so late in the order of execution, after workflow is run).
That could be solved with some re-entry control (via a static set<Id> in a helper class) to prevent you from adding records to oppsToBypass that have already gone through that process). I'd imagine you'd probably already have some controls like that in place if you had workflow field updates on Requirement__c though. If you don't, and want help getting that in place, leave me a comment.


Nash by Jay Crownover is book four in her Marked Men series. It is no secret that I adore this series and therefore was highly anticipating Nash's book. All the Marked boys have woven their way into my heart and I have come to love their "merry band of misfits". This author definitely delivered when it came to the execution of this book. The storyline is both tragic and sweet, dealing with some powerfully real issues and beautifully intertwining it with a tender romance. It's about letting go of the past and embracing life because if you are able to grab hold of that second chance, you may just find a once in a lifetime kind of love.
Nash Donovan and Saint Ford met in high school. Nash was the quintessential bad-boy charmer who could get any girl he desired and Saint was the timid, slightly heavy girl who melted into the background. Their overt differences did not stop Saint from developing a huge crush on Nash. Despite Nash's attempts to converse with the painfully shy and socially awkward girl with a locker next to his, it did not stop a huge misunderstanding from occurring which led to it being one of many events in Saint's life that contributed to her distrust of men. An introverted girl's world turned inside-out and the boy who was the cause too wrapped up in his own world to notice.
Fast forward a few years and twenty-five year old Saint has worked hard to achieve her dream of becoming a nurse. Saint continues to keep mostly to herself letting only a select few in and focusing intently on her career. The scars that began manifesting in high school are only deeper and more ingrained into Saint's psyche now. She has no room for men and love in her life. She knows that letting a man into her carefully constructed world would only end up shattering her. After all, how can she, with all her issues and hang-ups, keep a man interested enough to want to stay with her forever? When the one man who broke her heart shows up at the hospital she works at, Saint is determined to stay out of his path. But, when she discovers that he is dealing with the imminent death of a loved one, she does not have the heart to walk away and instead reaches out to Nash. Can Saint protect her heart and still be there for Nash in his time of need?
Nash's life has been rocked off its axis. He has discovered some painful truths about the man he considers a father at the same time that he is told the same man is dying of cancer. Nash is spiraling and there is no stopping the impending boom that his fall will create. In his devastation, Nash is also trying to figure out his future. When he comes across Saint, a girl he remembers from high school, at the hospital, Nash is unable to ignore the pull he feels towards her. He knows that Saint feels the same attraction and is puzzled when she acts so distant and cold, wanting nothing more than to cut any encounter they have short. But, despite the utter turmoil his life is in, Nash can't help but pursue the beautiful and reserved nurse who has him reeling. She is the only thing that is making him feel whole and alive and Nash is willing to put up a fight to make Saint see him for the man he is now and not the young punk he once was in high school.
As Saint and Nash spend time together and get more deeply involved, it is up to Nash to break down the walls that she has so carefully erected. Nash sees Saint as someone special and worth investing in. If only he could make her see for herself just how beautiful, compassionate and amazing she is. Saint is so confused and skittish, completely unable to surrender to the depth of her feelings for Nash. As a means of self-preservation, Saint simply can't give herself fully knowing that one day Nash will get bored with her or frustrated and leave her. That's what all men do in her world. Will Nash be able to break through or will Saint's reservations and inability to fully give all of herself ultimately doom what has only just begun? The past may be left behind but sometimes the scars that still linger are more resilient unwilling to let go.
Both Nash and Saint go through some changes as their relationship progresses. It's a period of discovery for both of them. I loved Nash already from the prior books in this series but this book fully cemented my adoration for the tattooed bad boy. He was so caring and selfless when it came to Saint and, yet, he was not willing to allow Saint to continue holding back from him. He wanted all of her and if she was unwilling to relent and embrace the relationship with all she had, Nash would walk. I fully understood Saint and all her reservations. We all bear marks from our past, particularly during our younger years where our emotions are all over the place and our psyches are much more vulnerable. Saint truly had to learn how to see herself in a different light, a more positive one. She had no issues pointing out all her flaws but had such a hard time identifying all the things that made her special. I definitely could identify with that at some level. I did get frustrated with Saint and could not understand why she took so long to come around and truly accept that someone like Nash could love her whole-heartedly and unconditionally. I wish her evolution had come a little quicker; however, with that being said she did "man-up" and was there for Nash when he truly needed her.
All in all, Nash was a touching and wonderful addition to this series that I am enthusiastically addicted to. I found myself happily sighing as we get such a beautiful tale of love and I also wiped away the tears as Nash and his Uncle Phil share some profound moments. We also get to catch up with "the gang" and are introduced to a couple of new characters that I am sure will stir things up. Up next is Rowdy's book. I am so ready!!!!
****An advanced reading copy of Nash by Jay Crownover was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

My new book, One Heart At A Time, became available in book stores everywhere on Tuesday, October 16th, and it has recieved so much media attention. I feel so very, very, blessed!
It was a labor of love to write, and especially difficult after losing my son, Zachariah, to suicide. Finishing was nothing short of a miracle, but one, with the help of God, that happened.
This is the way we will change the world!
The book's release is gathering a lot of attention. Here's a few of the places I've been or have picked up on my story and how I hope to be a small part of changing the world - just as I encourage you to be - One Heart at a Time!
Find your favorite - or find new favorites - in the media coverage that follow !
On the show, we were able to talk about so many things - life, farm, kids, and the devastating loss of my beloved Zacky - and I couldn't help but shed a few tears even though I told myself I wouldn't!
Of course, we talked about my new book, One Heart At A Time, which is available wherever books are sold!
I had an amazing time with Robin, she is a warm, engaging, smart, and gracious woman who's love knows no bounds, I'm so grateful to be included in that circle.
Wednesday, I joined another TV legend, Megyn Kelly! I hope you were able to tune in to the TODAY show on NBC!
There I was, bright, early, and nervous, with my make-up on and in my Sunday best, talking to Megyn about my book and my life, the challenges, the joys, and how I am so very very blessed.
Megyn was engaging, sensitive, and kept me on-track (as I tend to go off on tangents about things I'm passionate about - and I'm passionate about a LOT of things!) I was grateful for her allowing me to share some facts and thoughts about the broken US foster-care system and I hope by doing so it touched both hearts and nerves. We have got to step up and do something about the way that kids are warehoused and shuffled around until their time runs out and they are forced out into society, broken and ill-prepared.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Megyn, and I hope to do it again soon.
Bonus - I was able to meet and hug a bright news personality, Jenna Bush Hager while on the set!
Here's the link to watch the segment!
Most likely, you're going to be in a grocery store line sometime this week. If you're like me and you are the supply sergeant for a small army, you'll probably find yourself there multiple times!
While you're standing in line trying to keep your kids entertained, or making eyes at the toddler in the cart in front of you, look around for this weeks copy of Woman's World Magazine!
Yep, that's me on the cover, in the fuscia colored dress, looking happy as a girl from a small town that finds herself staring back from the cover of a national publication can be!
The folks at Woman's World were so kind and compassionate, as all the media have been, when asking about my family is coping after our loss. I feel so fortunate that they chose to showcase me on their cover, and share a beautiful story of my family inside.
I've asked folks to share pictures of where they find this issue of Woman's World magazine - take a picture and post it to Facebook or Instagram with the #radiodelilah, like others have been doing - it's been a lot of fun!
In late September, I was also featured in Guideposts Magazine. I've read and loved Guideposts all my life.
The stories contained between the glossy front and back covers always inspire and uplift me, and I am both honored and humbled to think that perhaps my story will do the same for you and others.
Here is the link to Guideposts video on the role of prayer in my life - something I do every day, all day!
InsideRadio launched a new feature on Tuesday the 16th, called "Extra Close Up," and they chose me to be the first to showcase!
As a radio-gal, this has Extra Special meaning to me, and I'm so very pleased and proud to be featured in this new segment.
I was in the midst of the media blitz in The Big Apple - New York City - when it was brought to my attention that Parade Magazine had run an article me and One Heart… Here's the link to that!
I loved his directness and his authenticity. I know Mike has the capacity to change the world and a platform to touch many hearts.
He did not shy away from asking about my faith, which is central to my being and what gets me through each and every day. We touched on Zacky and Sammy, my radio program, my sometimes crazy but wonderful life, Point Hope… and the big message; Say yes!
Open your heart to the possibilities of loving larger and more vulnerable than ever before and the return on your investment will be overwhelming blessings.
It's always great to be able to drop in to Good Day New York when I'm in the city!
I had a delightful time with the morning team, and even though I'd covered the ground (I thought) several times before, found there is always more to talk about!
My heart feels so full and hopeful as I am gifted the opportunity to share my message with so many people on so many platforms.
I know there will be more to come, stay tuned and thank you for being a part of my world and my heart!

Trudeau win signals return of Keynesianism to Canada, says econ prof
October 21, 2015 by Nick Waddell
Justin Trudeau's stunning majority win on Monday is a sign that the ideas of British economist John Maynard Keynes are alive and well, says one economist.
Louis-Philippe Rochon, an associate professor of economics at Laurentian University and co-editor of the Review of Keynesian Economics, says the fact that the Liberals were clear about the fact that they would run deficits to stimulate the Canadian economy was, in fact, a red carpet reception for Keynesianism.
"October 19 will certainly go down in the Canadian history books as the day Keynes was welcomed back to Canada. Indeed, the Liberal Party campaigned on the promise to run deficits to help the flagging economy, and Canadians embraced the idea in a spectacular fashion, " wrote Rochon for the website Rabble.ca.
Keynesian economists believe that governments must be prepared to spend -and sometimes run deficits- to cushion tough economic times.
"I have argued for years now that you cannot be a progressive in Canada (or elsewhere really) while advocating balanced budgets," says Rochon. "When unemployment is this high, austerity is the purview of the right, not the left…in the end, Canadians saw through the lack of intellectual honesty and voted for the Liberals."
But is Trudeau's election a return of Keyne's ideas or merely a continuation? Steven Harper was a notable disciple of Keyne's own version of Lex Luthor, Friedrich von Hayek. Hayek was a free market advocate who believed that bigger governments and more spending were a slippery slope to all sorts of bad things, including tyrannical regimes.
Harper's 1991 dissertation (THE POLITICAL BUSINESS CYCLE AND FISCAL POLICY IN CANADA) was a shot fired directly at the Keynesian school.
"There have been growing questions across academic disciplines and schools of thought about the ability of governments to manage fiscal policy," wrote a 32 year-old Harper. "These are not mere theoretical developments, but reflect the economic fluctuations and public policy dilemmas that have been the nature of things since the 1960's."
Harper wrote that one of the many dangers of governments inserting themselves into the "political business cycle" is that they may be tempted to manipulate the economy not to tend it, but to align it with their electoral goals.
But a funny thing happened on the way to a Canada that survived the "Great Recession" of 2008/2009 better than almost any other nation in the world. Harper, wrote the National Post's Hugh MacIntyre in 2010, flip-flopped.
"Almost two years ago a remarkable thing happened. Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister who once wrote a dissertation describing why deficit spending couldn't possibly help the economy, declared himself a Keynesian," said MacIntyre, who said the about face left no real defenders of Hayek in the country.
"Instead of presenting a conservative position in the tradition of intellectual thinkers such as… well such as Stephen Harper, and negotiating a compromise with the Liberal party, the Conservatives skipped the negotiations," continued MacIntyre. "They simply presented the position of welfare liberalism and faith in the government's ability to fix all problems to win Liberal support. In the process the Conservatives abandoned any defence of conservatism."
Flash forward to early 2015 and Justin Trudeau's comment a year prior to CPAC's Peter Van Dusen that "budget will balance itself" became a hot-button election issue courtesy of the Conservatives, who brought it up repeatedly. The late Jim Flaherty invoked his own heritage in mocking Trudeau.
"Being of Irish heritage, I know that what he must be thinking is that there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and over St. Patrick's Day I'm sure he'll search out a leprechaun to lead him to that pot of gold so that he can balance the budget," he said. "So I'm just trying to aim him in the right direction."
Meanwhile, the Harper government, points out The Canadian Press's Andy Blatchford, delivered six straight deficits between 2008-09 and 2013-14.

Graphene—the 2D hexagonal lattice of carbon—has been under investigation as a new material for electronics applications due to it's high mobility and other unique properties. At IEDM this year, an entire session (#23) was devoted to showcasing graphene devices, and to sharing the latest processing tricks to grow and (sometimes) transfer the single-atomic-layer of carbon to an oxidized silicon wafer. High-speed analogue (RF) circuits have been shown by IBM, SAIT, and MIT, and IBM has created a 130 meV bandgap with ~400 meV predicted as possible. Outside of IEDM, GeorgiaTech has published on how to form 10,000 top-gated graphene transistors in 0.24 cm2 of SiC chip area.

IBM researchers in Yorktown Heights, NY (S23P01) presented an invited paper on graphene applications, including discussion of how to form a bandgap in bilayer structures that allows for the creation of optoelectronic devices and possibly even digital circuitry (figure). These bilayers have a four atom unit cell, hyperbolic dispersion, and no intrinsic bandgap. However, the application of a strong perpendicular electric field produces an asymmetry by inducing charge transfer between the layers.
Using dual-gated (top and bottom) graphene field-effect transistors (GFET) with an NFC/HfO2 gate stack, field-tunable bandgaps of more than 130 meV were created, with on/off ratios of ~100 at room temperature and >1000 at low temperatures. Although this small gap is still not sufficient for digital devices, it could be used in optoelectronic applications such as THz emitters and detectors. With improvements in both the graphene and dielectric quality, a bandgap of ~400 meV has been predicted to be possible.
A sophisticated photodetector can be fabricated using bilayer graphene. Multiple inter-digitated electrodes are made using two metals with different workfunctions: Pd and Ti have been shown. At appropriate backgate biases, the different workfunctions and resulting asymmetric band-bendings generate a sloping overall potential along the graphene channel that allows photodetection over the entire device. This type of device was tested and found to be able to reliably detect optical data streams of 1.55 micron light pusles at a rate of 10 GBits/s (maximum capability of the measurement system) without an applied source-drain bias.

Columbia University researchers (S23P02) used exfoliation of single-crystal hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as the gate under exfoliated graphene to create FETs with mobility values exceeding 10,000 cm2/V•sec and current saturation down to 500 nm channel lengths with intrinsic transconductance (gm) values above 400 mS/mm (figure). Because the h-BN can be made arbitrarily thin (down to a single monolayer), the same h-BN dielectric layer can function as both a supporting substrate and the local-gate dielectric. Top ohmic contacts were made using Cr/Au (1nm/90nm), producing p-type doping of the graphene under the contacts because of work-function differences.
Researchers from Seoul National University and Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (S23P05) reported on a similar graphene layer transfer technique onto oxidized silicon wafers with locally-embedded TiN back-gates to create RF devices. Despite underlap between the gate and the source/drain, researchers measured a record maximum mobility of 9000 cm2/V•s, with a general range of 3000-6000 cm2/V•s which allows for fT =80 GHz using 0.24micron gate lengths.
Despite these high mobilities, gm and Ids still remain low for various reasons associated with the R&D processes used on 150mm diameter wafers. Causes could include high contact resistance due to poor adhesion from lift-off process, impurities between the gate oxide and graphene channel from the graphene transfer, or contamination of the exposed graphene channel under ambient conditions.
MIT researchers discussed (S23P06) how the unique ambipolar transport properties of graphene, combined with its high mobility at room temperature, enable the development of a new form of non-linear electronics for radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal applications.
Single-layer graphene films can be grown by CVD on sacrificial copper substrates. Firstly, copper foils are annealed at 1000°C in H2 (350 mTorr for 30 minutes) to increase their grain size, then they are exposed to low-pressure (1.6 Torr) CH4 to initiate large poly-crystalline graphene growth (80 x 80 micron plan-view of a single-crystal shown). Next, polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) is coated on the graphene film and the copper substrate is etched away. Finally, the graphene is transferred onto polished Si wafers with a 300nm thermally-grown SiO2, where Hall effect measurements show mobilities in the 1800-2500 cm2/V•s range.

Ohmic contacts are formed by depositing a 2.5nm Ti/45nm Pd/ 15nm Au metal stack by e-beam evaporation. Device isolation is achieved by O2 plasma etching. The gate dielectric consists of 5nm of e-beam evaporated SiO2 as a seed layer, followed by 15nm of ALD Al2O3. The top gate is formed with a 30nm Ni/ 200nm Au/ 50nm Ni metal stack (figure).
For frequencies >400GHz, the presenter mentioned that efficiency is often <20% for today's frequency multipliers. In stark constast, this graphene device shows the ability to double a 700 MHz input to 1.4GHz output at room temperature with >90% of the output power, and without the need for any filtering elements. The high quality of graphene devices could thus allow for more efficient analogue and mixed-signal circuits, since each filter is a source of noise and loss. Potential security and medical screening applications would use 0.3-10 THz frequencies that can pass through fog, fabrics, plastics, and bricks. Theoretically, graphene devices could be used for power gain, though no one has yet shown such function.
A team from IBM and MIT (S09P06) demonstrated RF performance of sub-100nm graphene transistors fabricated using epitaxial growth on a SiC substrate. A cut-off frequency as high as 170 GHz is achieved in a 90nm graphene FET using NFC/HfO2 as the top gate dielectric, and e-beam evaporating 20nm Pd/30nm Au as the contact metal.

Transconductance (gm) can be improved by 4 times for a 70nm device by reducing the contact resistance, which is much greater effect than in the long channel case (figure). A 90nm-gate graphene FET showed a cut-off frequency as high as 170 GHz at a drain voltage of 2.2V. The device performance is limited by the series resistance, including the contact resistance and the access resistance associated with ungated region. Consequently, the researchers model that the cut-off frequency can be enhanced to as high as 350 GHz using a self-aligned gate structure.
Outside of IEDM
Outside of IEDM this year, Georgia Tech folks recently published work in Nature Nanotechnology on the preferential epi growth of graphene nanoribbons on the sidewalls of properly oriented silicon carbide recessesses. Structures are formed using photolithography and etching. Pre-epi, the wafer is heated to ~1,500°C to melt and polish any rough edges left by the etching, so as to avoid electron-scattering. These prototype graphene devices exhibit a weak on:off ratio of 10, with carrier mobilities up to 2,700 cm2/V•s at room temperature. However, while dependent upon SiC as the substrate instead of Si, this approach has already allowed for the fabrication of 10,000 top-gated graphene transistors in 0.24 cm2 of SiC chip area, claimed as the highest density of graphene devices reported to date.
Though all of this is still far away from commercial manufacturing, the fact that epi-growth and layer transfer of graphene has been shown to produce highly functional devices is an indication that we are headed in the right direction. Potential applications have been shown for high-speed analogue circuits and novel light sensors. –E.K.

No Fault Divorce Vs. Fault Divorce FAQ
You can get a no fault divorce in any state, but you may want to understand the fault grounds for divorce as well.
What's Below:
What is a "no fault" divorce?
What is a "fault" divorce?
Can a spouse successfully prevent a court from granting a divorce?
Do I have to live in a state to get a divorce there?
Can an out-of-state divorce be enforced?
"No fault" divorce describes any divorce where the spouse asking for a divorce does not have to prove that the other spouse did something wrong. All states allow no fault divorces.
To get a no fault divorce, one spouse must simply state a reason for the divorce that is recognized by the state. In most states, it's enough to declare that the couple cannot get along (this reason goes by such names as "incompatibility," "irreconcilable differences," or "irremediable breakdown of the marriage").
In some states, however, the couple must live apart for a period of months or years before they can obtain a no fault divorce.
A fault divorce may be granted when the required grounds are present and at least one spouse asks that the divorce be granted on the grounds of fault. Only some states allow fault divorces.
The traditional fault grounds are:
cruelty (inflicting unnecessary emotional or physical pain) -- this is the most frequently used ground for divorce
desertion for a specified length of time
confinement in prison for a set number of years, and
physical inability to engage in sexual intercourse, if it was not disclosed before marriage.
Why choose a fault divorce? Some people don't want to wait out the period of separation required by their state's law for a no fault divorce. And, in some states, a spouse who proves the other's fault may receive a greater share of the marital property or more alimony.
What if both spouses are at fault? When both parties have shown grounds for divorce, the court will grant a divorce to the spouse who is least at fault under a doctrine called "comparative rectitude." Years ago, when both parties were at fault, neither was entitled to a divorce. The absurdity of this result gave rise to the concept of comparative rectitude.
One spouse cannot stop a no fault divorce. Objecting to the other spouse's request for divorce is itself an irreconcilable difference that would justify the divorce.
A spouse can prevent a fault divorce, however, by convincing the court that he or she is not at fault. In addition, several other defenses to a divorce may be possible:
Condonation. Condonation is someone's approval of another's activities. For example, a wife who does not object to her husband's adultery may be said to condone it. If the wife sues her husband for divorce, claiming he has committed adultery, the husband may argue as a defense that she condoned his behavior.
Connivance. Connivance is the setting up of a situation so that the other person commits a wrongdoing. For example, a wife who invites her husband's lover to the house and then leaves for the weekend may be said to have connived his adultery. If the wife sues her husband for divorce, claiming he has committed adultery, the husband may argue as a defense that she connived -- that is, set up -- his actions.
Provocation. Provocation is the inciting of another to do a certain act. If a spouse suing for divorce claims that the other spouse abandoned her, her spouse might defend the suit on the ground that she provoked the abandonment.
Collusion. If a couple lives in a state where no fault divorce requires that the couple separate for a long time and the couple doesn't want to wait, they might pretend that one of them was at fault in order to manufacture a ground for divorce. This is called collusion, because they are cooperating in order to mislead the judge. If one spouse decides he no longer wants a divorce (before the divorce is granted), he could raise the collusion as a defense.
But these defenses are rarely used -- for a couple of practical reasons. First, proving a defense may require witnesses and involve a lot of time and expense. Second, your efforts will likely come to nothing. Chances are good that a court will eventually grant the divorce, because there is a strong public policy against forcing people to stay married when they don't wish to be.
All states require a spouse to be a resident of the state -- often for at least six months and sometimes for as long as one year -- before filing for a divorce there. Someone who files for divorce must offer proof that he or she has resided there for the required length of time. Only three states -- Alaska, South Dakota, and Washington -- have no statutory requirement for resident status. In other words, being a resident at the time you file is enough.
If you think that your spouse may file for divorce in another state, it may be prudent to spend the money up front and file first -- in your home state. Rarely is a divorce settled in one court appearance, and, if your spouse files elsewhere, you could rack up a lot of traveling expenses. Also, any modifications to the divorce decree, including the property settlement agreement and arrangements for child custody and support, must be filed in the original state. This could keep you traveling out of state for years to come, especially if you have children with your spouse.
If one spouse meets the residency requirement of a state or country (such as having lived there from six months to a year), a divorce obtained there is valid, even if the other spouse lives somewhere else. The courts of all states will recognize the divorce.
However, decisions a court makes regarding property division, alimony, custody, and child support may not be valid unless the court had jurisdiction over the nonresident spouse. The court gets jurisdiction when the nonresident spouse is personally served with the divorce documents (meaning they are delivered into the person's hands), or consents to jurisdiction. A nonresident spouse consents to jurisdiction by showing up at a court date or signing an affidavit of service, acknowledging receipt of the filed legal documents. It can also happen if the nonresident spouse abides by the rulings of the court; for example, by paying court-ordered child support.
If you receive documents from a foreign country, you may want to consult an attorney about whether your state court or the foreign court governs the issues. This depends on many factors, such as which particular country is involved, where the parties lived and for how long, and, of course, whether children are involved.
