Data Discovery and Data Curation Go Hand in Hand
Posted on July 18, 2013 by Terence K. Huwe
In just a few short years, data curation has been widely embraced by the profession and is recognized by many as an emerging core competency. The reasons are many, but the power of the web as a platform for mashing up diverse data sources is certainly a key factor. New government regulations require researchers to share data compiled in grant-funded research, which also provides a powerful incentive for taking a fresh look at how data can be preserved. In 2011, the Association of Research Libraries published an excellent summation of the potential of data curation for the library profession, titled "New Roles for New Times: Digital Curation for Preservation" (See http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/nrnt_digital_curation17mar11.pdf). This report was prescient in arguing that the volume of data and the need to preserve it is opening new opportunities for librarians to take center stage as collaborators.
Exciting times to be sure, but with all the new energy surrounding data curation of web- and crowd-sourced information, it is important to remember that new discovery techniques can also uncover fresh value in conventional data resources, particularly those that are generated by public mandate. For my part, I believe that there are significant "sleeper cells" of useful data—much of it gathered by public institutions—and these data can add value when they are added to born digital, linked data sets.
Many public information databases are compiled with a single need in mind: regulating construction permits, monitoring the growth of electrical grids, and so on. These data are often in digital formats, and they can be added to web- or cloud-based resources and used in ways that may not have been foreseen by the agencies that compile the data. The trick is to recognize not only what the primary goal for collecting is, but also to discover what value the data might have in different contexts. With that in mind, I will offer two examples of how data resources can empower new ideas in the broadest sense, and I will also share an old-fashioned data acquisition story "from the trenches." The story shows how local data gathered by a public agency made the crucial difference in a research project—and suggests how it might gain value as part of larger-scale data analysis.
Big Data, Big Results
One of the best aspects of working with linked data is the ability to combine diverse sources of information and then extrapolate more nuanced meaning from the improved data set. This trend is accelerating, and currently it focuses on "new" and exciting areas such as crowd-sourced data generation and online consumer behavior-tracking. Rightly so: President Obama's reelection campaign used data-driven strategies alongside its political and rhetorical vision, to considerable advantage. The 2012 U.S. elections proved beyond a doubt that smart data, carefully deployed, was worth more than the hundreds of millions of dollars that were hurled at the general electorate. The overall electoral cycle demonstrated that big data is recognized by politicians and entrepreneurs, as well as academics.
In the academic sphere, big data have created all-new approaches to research. The New York Times published an interesting update on how humanists can now analyze thousands of online novels (see The New York Times, January 27, 2013, p. B3). The article describes how Matthew L. Jockers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln conducted word- and phrase-level textual analysis of digital books to study long-term language patterns. The much larger sample revealed not only how authors use words, but also how they inspire other authors over the years. One surprise finding: a relatively small number of authors have had an outsized impact on other writers, with Jane Austen and Sir Walter Scott at the forefront. This analytical approach is groundbreaking, insofar as it goes beyond the limitations imposed by much smaller samples of literature. The data application enables researchers to place authors in a larger historical context in ways that were not possible before.
Data driven political campaigns and large scale literature analysis demonstrate the blue sky nature of big data—and the attendant opportunities to curate the data that is being produced. Yet even as the new frontier expands at a rapid rate, it is still possible to find value in existing data sources. In my opinion, big data applications and data curation will reach their fullest potential when all sources, both old and new, are reexamined with the new tools.
New Value from Not-So-New Data
Not all data worth curating are born on the web. Agencies that oversee construction variances, hospitals, nursing homes, public works, and public health all gather data, but in many cases, their charge is to gather data for a single, specific purpose. The expected "data deliverable" might be tabular information for policy makers and urban planners, flowing from the stream of new construction permits, or other relatively mundane activities. It is easy to assume that such data may be well-targeted, but do not have transferable value. The following example of wage research proves the opposite.
During the 2012 election season, one of our researchers was monitoring "living wage" campaigns across the country and was very interested to see how they would fare. In the political discourse surrounding this issue, many voices argue that increasing the minimum wage is bad for business, raising costs and placing a burden on small firms in particular. Others argue that increasing low wages in nominal increments—75 cents, for example—has a negligible effect on the economy, and yet they help household incomes significantly. Our researcher wanted to assess the actual performance and policy ramifications of living wages to shed light on the debate, and needed help.
He needed to gather employee data on every fast food restaurant in a specific metropolitan region. Easily accessible sources indicated that there were more than 3500 establishments in all. Yet within that category, movie theaters, gas station convenience stores, and other purveyors of food-on-the-go needed to be winnowed out. None of the obvious data sources could provide such a pinpointed sample.
One of the library staff contacted the county agency that monitors food safety in restaurants, and eventually got through to their information technology department. She learned that the agency had detailed data on every establishment, including the exact number of employees at each location. This was the data our researcher needed to analyze low wage market dynamics and write a policy brief—just three weeks before the election.
The agency monitors restaurants for compliance with public health regulations. But—and this is a big but—that is literally all they are concerned about. They gather detailed data, but the data are only of interest when they find a safety infraction and must fine the offending restaurant. In our case, we had no interest in restaurant health and safety, but we very much wanted to know employee counts at every restaurant location. This sample would be useful as a basis for testing how living wage policies played out "on the ground." The agency had exactly what we wanted, and we asked if they would be willing to share data set with us.
The IT manager agreed, with the proviso that no information about regulatory compliance would be sent to us—just the whole list of restaurants and their employee count. Once this was agreed upon, it took a few days to receive a data file that had all of what wanted.
These data provide a comprehensive resource for labor economists, and they will retain their value over the long term. Moreover, good relations with the regulatory agency have established a foundation for receiving data updates periodically. The dataset will also have added value if it is mashed together with other resources, such as state- and national level employee data, or coupled with Web- and cloud-based news and information about restaurants in the region.
Curate—But Counsel Too
This reference story drives home the fact that even while we are moving full-speed into an era when crowd-sourced, web-crawled, and tagged data are creating wholly new avenues for research, value still remains in ongoing data acquisition programs. Many public agencies produce data, and more often than not, they are well-managed and have a service mentality. When locally-gathered data of this nature are obtained and merged with other larger sources, the specificity of the local enriches the "big picture" that big data can reveal.
The emergence of big data research practices, which is revolutionizing how people parse data sets large and small, can actually strengthen the impact of library discovery skills. As a result Information professionals stand to benefit not through digital curation and getting involved in big data analysis, but also through the ongoing practice of reference and resource discovery. Because of this, I believe that it is important to promote our research and discovery acumen in the same manner that we are currently promoting the library as the "solution lab" for data curation. As admirable as that effort is, curation alone is, in my opinion, just half of the needed strategy. The crucial balance may be found by remembering that the skills inherent in reference work—discovery, pattern recognition, and analysis—offer a powerful means to convey our value proposition not only as data curators, but also as information counselors with advanced data acquisition skills.

Duking it Out in the E-Book's "Wild West" Marketplace
Posted on June 6, 2013 by Terence K. Huwe
(NOTE: This article appeared in computers in libraries 33 (no 1), jan-feb 2013. in light of current litigation, I'm posting it to information | mixology)
The e-book is a new medium, but it follows many other breakthrough products with histories of disruption, adoption, market acceptance, and the forging of new business relationships. Perennials such as CD-Roms, DVDs and iPods come to mind, as each of these new technologies triggered important changes in commerce and entertainment. The disruption was real and has caused serious distress for publishers, but there is no getting around the fact that we are in a new era now. Publishers have gained expertise in digital media and are engaged in intensive experimentation. They are taking big risks with e-books and trying new innovative pricing models. And they are playing a tough game to protect revenue.
The e-book market is moving at "warp speed" and it is hard to stay abreast of events. Fortunately librarians have been lucky in our leadership. The American Library Association has been very assertive in advocating for the most expansive model acquiring and loaning e-books. The result has been a lot of "dialogue," some tough new policies from the largest publishers, and a sense that it is hard to know what is going to happen next. Authors are involved too, and have their own turf to protect.
With so much ferment, what strategies should librarians adopt to become central to the e-book market? Also, what are the best avenues for revitalizing our long-term relationships with publishers? I see two fundamental strengths that might inform our actions. The first is our close relationship with our user communities. The second is a combination of two related sources of knowledge: how to perceive the e-book "market" from a user perspective, and how to collaborate. A collaborator understands the importance of keeping a balance between open access and making a profit—and that kind of awareness may be the "glue" that keeps libraries and publishers in conversation. Even so, the next few years might be bumpy for e-book collaborators. Here are few signposts of the times, and some thoughts about where we are collectively going.
Borrowing, Buying and Both
2012 has been a year for learning a lot about e-books—and recognizing that we need to know even more. We need better data, too. Blogger Jeremy Greenfield is one great source of intelligence. He is a journalist who follows the e-book industry, both on his own blog and for Forbes (see digitalbookworld.com). In June 2012 he reported on something many of us probably know: libraries and publishers don't understand each other. Publishers don't "get" the operational side of libraries, and ALA President Molly Raphael allowed that librarians have more to learn about the e-book market and its effect on publishers and distributors. The result has been a great deal of dialogue, and that's a good thing. We are talking intensively to publishers to advocate for better access to e-books and reasonable curbs on pricing.
We have good company in our quest to understand how to deploy e-books, too. Greenfield looks to the research findings of the Pew Project on Internet and Society, which has long been a leading voice in analyzing disruptive technologies. Pew reports that e-book consumers are likely both to buy and borrow e-books. What a fascinating approach; it suggests that there is personal joy and comfort in "owning" a digital copy of say, Tolkien's The Silmarillion, while you might just want to "borrow" a new book by Dean Koontz have an enjoyable, one-time read.
So: buying, borrowing, and both: it's a user's solution to a complex market, and it works. As an iPad Mini user, I enjoy checking out what e-books other people keep on their tablets whenever they allow me have a look. Here's what I find: a collection of favorite books that tends to grow, slowly but surely. I also see a smart shopper's independent streak concerning "where" they do their buying and "borrowing." The Kindle app for iPad is widely used on iPads, even though it is an arch-competitor to iBooks. This open-minded "collection building" and shopping suggests a deep love for the artifact, even in digital form, as well as interest in value-shopping in every direction.
It's hard not love books that enrich our lives, and it looks like the digital version, read on a retina screen, preserves that crucial value. But "process" matters too. Some people favor bookstores, others prefer Amazon Prime, and still more troll through Apple's ecosystem of goodies. Many are still in the process of deciding what they like best. That's very big unknown factor for publishers, and our familiarity with user behavior gives us an edge. For example, a friend of mine recently bought a Nook e-reader, and set herself up with a library of favorite titles and authors. Within a month, she was back to print, because she didn't enjoy the process and experience of e-reading.
The Risk of Rhetoric
It would be an understatement to say the libraries and publishers are worlds apart in how they approach the challenge of e-reading. One of the single biggest risks is frank and committed dialogue might give way to rhetorical warfare. Many advocates of open access already feel that large publishers, such as Harper Collins with its 26-times-only policy, or Random House, with its mammoth price increase to recover for simultaneous and persistent access, have gone over to the "dark side." Fortunately ALA has taken a lead in trying to forge common understandings, which is helpful, since Jeremy Greenfield reports that 67.2 percent of libraries have been loaning e-books since 2011. Moreover, experimentation is essential, but publishers face a serious obstacle: they cannot collaborate to set prices without facing antitrust litigation. In the resulting free-for-all, every e-book publisher must come up with its own pricing plan. In some ways, the current e-book market has a wild west, "Dodge City" feel.
What strategies can librarians use in the "Dodge City" of e-book pricing? I can think of two. Stay close to their user communities and make sure they know that we are advocating for them, and also continue to keep a place at the table to debate a fair balance that addresses the needs of publishers, distributors, and libraries as collaborators.
Other entertainment industries offer some guidance on how to sell and how to price, particularly cinema and music. But once again it is worth noting that conditions change fast. The iTunes Library faces competition from subscription services such as Spotify, and the market may change in the near term. But some of the lessons learned may be worth a look. Blogger Michael Schatzkin reports, Hollywood has perfected the art of "windowing" —delaying the release of DVDs until new movies have had a chance to earn their keep at the box office. Move studios are reluctant to hand over their entire catalogs to Amazon and NetFlix, for good reason, if they can still sell DVDs first.
The Windowing approach is an intriguing alternative for publishers, distributors, and libraries, but it has some built-in shortcomings. Most people want to read their favorite authors right away, and many people (myself included) reserve copies new releases months before they appear in print. Would library patrons accept waiting one or two years to borrow an e-book? That seems like a stretch. Therefore my theory is that publishers can certainly try a windowing approach, delaying the release of e-books and perhaps employing a significant markdown, but I think they may face a reader backlash. Social media give activists a very handy tool for registering their dissatisfaction. Perhaps the e-book market will spawn a "reader's guild" of activists, who could use the power of social media to shape policy.
What's Needed: Unity
My first career was in independent bookselling, and for that reason I follow the publishing business closely. I find that the many "year of the e-book" debates that are running at full steam follow common threads that go back as far as the release of the mass-market paperback, which was seen as a force of doom for publishers—but was anything but that. The eventual outcome of the e-book debate carries high stakes for publishers, distributors, and libraries, but there is some good news too, showing up among all three stakeholders. Publishers have become much more skilled in handling digital media, and this is making them less conservative. We can now expect some healthy innovation from them. Distributors are crucial players in the sales process, and they have gained more clout. Perhaps they too will push back on pricing and access restrictions as a form of self-preservation. If so this may help consumers. Librarians have become the most articulate advocates for the importance of open access and fair use; we have done our homework and have a compelling "social good" to use as a rallying cry.
Each group has gained through innovation, and yet each has more to learn about a very important function of markets: mutual benefit. At a time when the e-books debate threatens to push players into armed camps, it is vital to find common ground and build unity. If we fail to do that, we should have the courage to admit that the real losers will be readers themselves, who rightly expect us to do a better job of managing the emerging e-book market.

To get started, take a look at this gallery of images related to setup, bowhold, and simple solutions for teachers and students.
Many folks hold their writing implement in crazy ways that don't support their joints well- take a look at your students' holds if you notice a general issue transferring to the music lesson.
This is called the writing claw and can help children learn the fine motor skills to hold a crayon/pencil/etc.
In using my hand as a model, keep in mind that I'm not as hypermobile as many people. In this picture, you can see my ring finger and pinky struggling to stay bent.
This is a normal amount of mobility that I often encounter-a student can't fully articulate the two joints of the pinky and one flattens out. It can be hard to get sustainable power, LH articulation, and good vibrato from a locked out pinky like this.
Many years of sevick/shradieck taught my left hand to stay curved in action, both in lifting and lowering my fingers.
Not everyone can curve their LH pinky because of their whole left hand setup. If the wrist is too far from the neck, they can't bring the hand around and support the pinky. It's good to at least start by strengthening the fingers and then looking at whole setup issues.
This looks a little extreme-but I don't know what the base issue is for the student. I would probably try one ring per hand to start, so that the student isn't totally overwhelmed.
This is a great tool my teacher (Carol Rodland) uses to help students keep a sustainable bowhold and is a reminder for folks who over-pronate their right hands.
I am NOT a piano teacher, but his wrist position isn't helping here. We can see how the hypermobility in his fingers isn't going to be sustainable either.
As a non-piano player/teacher, I'd be interested to hear how these work and if they're effective.
I'm also a huge fan of bow hold buddies, especially for young children. This creates a pinky nest to help curve the pink, as well as provide a nook for the right thumb, especially if it locks out usually. They also make something called the "cello-phant" which looks interesting.
For flute, clarinet, etc., I've also seen finger slings/rings/ etc, that can help to train the joints to stay bent and start to strengthen the muscles. Also ask the student to look at how they type, text, hold a pencil, etc. If you can cultivate even a smidge of awareness in daily life, there can be huge transfers in a musical setting.
The bottom line, is that continually locking out the joint puts strain on the joint, can lead to osteoarthritis, pain, and other issues, and that the surrounding muscles are usually weak and can't support the movement being asked. Some people live a full pain free life with hypermobile joints, others deal with osteoarthritis early in life, or are diagnosed with Hypermobility syndrome. Helping students (or yourself) can improve your performance and prevent future pain.
Picture courtesy of CoreWalking- can you see how the left leg moves beyond perpendicular? The ligaments aren't telling the body when to stop moving backwards.
Whether you know it or not, you probably have students, colleagues, and friends who are hypermobile, whether in larger joints or smaller joints. Hypermobility, or as we called it as kids, "double jointedness," is a joint (or joints) that move beyond normal end range. The ligaments (which duct tape bone to bone) are loose and don't offer feedback to the body to say "hey, stop moving here!" It means that the body doesn't observe normal end range for joints because it's not receiving feedback from ligaments. Hypermobile folks end up in all sorts of movement spaces, from yoga and pilates to crossfit and olympic weight lifting, and helping (and identifying) hypermobility can help your music students greatly.
Notice how the standing leg (the right one) is SUPER hyperextended and the elbows are as well. This yoga pose manifests in many different styles, and in many permutations, but I imagine that in this case, the practitioner is hyperextended to make the pose "prettier" rather than respecting her end range and coming out of the pose a bit.
Here's an image from 80gladstone demonstrating hypermobile elbows. When a student hyperextends the joint (left), they are no longer using muscular energy to support themselves. This is a problem in music, because we need muscles to support weight and help articulate keys.
The most obvious example of hypermobility is in the knees. Jonathan FitzGordon recently did a post on hypermobile knees, and how they manifest in yoga classes, so let's take a look. This simple drawing above shows a knee that has locked and gone beyond normal vertical joint end range. Many people can hyperextend their knees-it's not uncommon. The risk is when you spend all of your time in this position (standing, yoga-ing, walking, weight-lifting) the body doesn't stop at the end range of the joint, your ligaments are overstretching (if they aren't already), and ligaments are not an overly elastic tissue. Many people with looser ligaments have always been that way- I remember little kids who could do full splits, lateral splits, etc, without a warmup, because they were just built that way. Now let's look at how that affects us in the Music and teaching space.
Ouch! I definitely wouldn't want to load this joint in this position! Yes, the right thumb is in the right "position" to hold the clarinet in terms of the thumb ledge, but it's not in a great position to hold any weight!
We will all meet students and colleagues who are hypermobile in their hands, which often means that supporting an instrument, pressing keys, and holding a bow will be challenging in different ways. String players will be familiar with students who can't bend their thumb and hold the bow (their muscles are weak!) or who can't bend their pink on the upper side of the bow. Wind players may be familiar with the double-jointed thumb, which can cause problems with supporting the weight of the instrument. Whether it's a flutist's stray pinky or a violinist's dubious bow hold, students of all ages and levels can have issues with hypermobility. My next post will give some suggestions for what to do with hypermobile students, or how to help yourself!

Charlotte Hornets vs Los Angeles Clippers Predictions, Picks, Odds, and Betting Preview | Dec 21 2022
in NBA, Basketball, Country, News, United States

LA Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (8) knocks the ball away from Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington during the first half of an NBA basketball game on Monday, Dec. 5, 2022, in Charlotte, N.C. (AP Photo/Scott Kinser)
Hornets vs Clippers pits a squad in last place in the Eastern Conference—possibly the worst team in the NBA—against a team that, with better defense, might contend for the championship. Because of their record, which puts them in second place, the Clippers must win in order to raise their difference and move up from seventh place. Los Angeles' goal is to score and prevent being scored on.
At JefeBet, we are constantly working to provide you the best NBA sports betting information and predictions. So here are our predictions for this game between Charlotte Hornets vs Los Angeles Clippers.
Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Charlotte Hornets vs Los Angeles Clippers NBA Regular Season Game on December 21, 2022
Where: Crypto.com Arena – Los Angeles, California
When: Wednesday, December 21, 2022, 10:30 PM E.T.
Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
Season record: 8-23
BetMGM Spread: +8.5
BetMGM Moneyline: +260
LaMelo Ball returned, but even with him they couldn't win. They have had 8 consecutive defeats and although their performance has not been dramatic, they have collapsed in good moments, without the ability to maintain leadership. Charlotte's mood is very bad.
They fell to the Pistons 121-134 in overtime, although there were times when they had the opportunity to win but couldn't finish it off. Like against Detroit, they lost leads and lost against the Nuggets, losing 119-115. They are not in the right state of mind right now.
Ball has scored at least 27 points in two games. They have averaged 23.2 points off of offensive rebounds per game, which is helpful, but not enough. First, they must regain their mental strength, since under pressure they become unresponsive.
But after struggling, they managed to end the streak by beating Sacramento 125-119. The Hornets have been brought back to life.
Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
Season record: 18-14
BetMGM Spread: -8.5
As we have stated, given their track record, they ought to be considerably higher in the West, but the difference between their low and high scores is the issue. No matter how many victories they rack up, their average is negative (-0.6), which places them below teams with fewer victories than they do.
Kawhi Leonard returned, but Paul George was injured again. However, in their last five games, they have only suffered two defeats. They play well, but the opposition scores too much. Considering this, they must strengthen their defense.
Their last results are low in terms of number of points: Against Minnesota, they won 99-88, against Phoenix they lost 111-95 and against Washington the score was 102-93, barely a game with more than 110 points. They score, on average, 107 points per game, the lowest average in the league.
Los Angeles, we believe, will prevail because Charlotte, who is 3-12 away from home, is unable to do so. The Clippers are a strong team that consistently wins, but if they want to be thought of as title contenders in the future, they will need to improve their scoring and defense.
They are a more complete team, and the Hornets are mentally defeated. Steve Clifford's team will add another loss to their disastrous record.
Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers Moneyline.

HomeLifestyleDaily LifeA Bandh,A Marriage & Some Shamlessness!!!
How was life on the other side of the bandh? I was stranded at home and that too against my wish. Though most of my colleagues had decided on Saturday itself that they won't be coming on Monday I was undecided because I wanted to come as I didn't want to show my solitude with the so called All India Bandh; not that the price rise isn't affecting me but I strongly feel that bringing the nation to a stand still served no purpose. These Bandh's are nothing but political ploy and instead of showing any real sympathy or solitude with the poor's they are actually hitting on their stomach. It isn't hard to imagine the plight of a daily wage earner whose daily meal depends on what he earns on a given day.
As is Bandh in Mumbai is always different from Bandh in any other part of the country. With goons like MNS & Shiv Sena flourishing here, we all expected violence and were not disappointed. I was very clearly told by my colleagues that in my condition I shouldn't even think of taking any kind of risk and I didn't but I couldn't help cursing the politicians for spoiling a day. The worst part in this case would be that I have ended up wasting a leave of mine especially when every leave in my account counts. Given a chance I would love to know ki what was achieved at the end of the bandh. Will the price be rolled back? Will the poor be compensated for the loss of their one day's salary? Too many uncomfortable questions!!!
Despite all my grudges the day was well spent. On Sunday hubby decided to fulfill his long time desire of buying a Carrom board and the better part was spent in playing the same. It was fun fighting over a simple game but it surely transported both of us to our respective childhood! Though it is a different matter all together that my already-in-pain-right-hand is now paining like hell but hey we had fun.
The other important news over the weekend was "Dhoni's shocking surprise marriage". I have always been a fan of Dhoni's levelheadedness but his present antics increased my respect for him. He very well knew that lest the news is leaked his marriage would become a media circus; we all remember what happened to Sania Mirza and thus the hush-hush manner in which he conducted his affairs is worth applauding.
What was however funny in the whole scenario was the media reaction. It was like they were caught with their pants off. One of the most eligible bachelors of India had gotten engaged and they didn't have a whiff about it. I laughed out loud when I heard this apology on one of the channels "we knew about the impending engagement but since the news wasn't confirmed we didn't tell you in advance." As if till now they have given us confirmed news only, as if they don't speculate?
When I had slept on Saturday the channels were busy trying to get a background of the girl Dhoni had hitched on to and with a astrologer in tow they were busy predicting "the marriage can happen only after world cup/ these are the auspicious dates" etc etc.
Trust Dhoni to stump them all by marrying the very next day. This is one guy who knows how to play smart and that's what he did. If only the media understood the message he was trying to give them. That is of staying away. But trust our media to not to accept defeat. One channel had brought in some locals from Dehradun and we were given a glimpse of how Dhoni would get married. Seeing those locals dancing & singing was one hell of a sight.
Cashing in on the hype was the Auto wallah who had supposedly driven Dhoni on the roads of Aurangabad. The mother of all was the trick photography, due to the lack of any real picture, poor fellow Dhoni's head was fixed on to the body of Rahul Mahajan (decked up in his Swayamwar's fineries) and the poor brides face was fixed onto the body of God Knows which bride. The result for sure was hilarious & the imagination of these guys, impeccable.
"Hum aapko le ke challenge Dhoni ke Bedroom main raat ke 9:30 baje".
All said and done these News channels must be given some due. They have learned their message from the politicians by erasing the word called "Self Respect" from their vocabulary/ dictionary. Despite all the indications they decided to ignore the clear message "Media was not wanted" and kept showing hours and hours of reels when they had nothing to show. They showed true sportsmanship by forgetting the previous link ups that they had created in Dhoni's life and went on to report what was happening.
Now this shamelessness for sure deserves a standing ovation.
Ah! The weather out here is lovely let me get my Cappuccino and you decide as to what should be done with our Politicians & Media!!!


Founded in 1901, the Motor Cycling Club is one of the very oldest clubs for the sporting motorist. We have over 1000 loyal and enthusiastic members who enjoy our own particular style of motor sport on two, three, or four wheels.

Educational Research Analysts is an organization based in Longview, Texas, United States, founded by Mel and Norma Gabler to monitor public school textbooks. The organization reviews books to locate factual errors and to promote a conservative Christian point of view, offering preference to textbooks which, for example, promote sexual abstinence rather than contraception and firearms safety rather than gun control. They launched the organization in 1961 from their kitchen table in tiny Hawkins in Wood County in east Texas, after having begun to review textbooks assigned to their son. Many of the books that the Gablers have given high ratings have been adopted by the Texas State Textbook Committee. If a school district wishes textbooks with other viewpoints than those approved by the state committee, it must fund such materials from its own resources.

Criticism
Progressives, teachers, professors, parents, and civil libertarians have alleged that the Gablers promoted their fundamentalist views in the textbook selection process. They have pointed out that the Gablers did not have college degrees, yet assumed the role of textbook monitors and claimed editorial authority over textbook authors. Many criticized the State Board of Education for giving the Gablers undue influence.  The Texas State Board of Education wields enormous influence upon the choice of textbooks used across America, because Texas, as a large and populous state, requires many textbooks, and both publishers and smaller states can save much-needed operating costs or education funds by simply using the Texas version of a given text.

What Allergy Tests Do You Need?
When you suffer from allergies, all you want is relief, which isn't always easy. Allergists have to determine the origins of your allergies to know how to treat you. This includes allergy tests, which can be very specific. It is important to understand what tests you will need and how these tests will work?
Many allergists say that your history and background are huge determining factors in your diagnosis. Does someone in your immediate family suffer as well? What aggravates them? All of these details can help.
For any skin allergy testing, you will have to limit certain medications before you have the allergy test. Once the skin test is complete, your doctor will be able to determine possible allergens that could be affecting you. This test includes injecting allergens under your skin with a small syringe. There could be up to 32 different injections in your upper arms. Patients report it doesn't hurt much and feels somewhat like a mosquito bite. After ten minutes, the doctor will check your skin to see if a reaction occurred. You will also be able to detect any delayed reactions. Some allergens can take days to show their full reaction, so you will want to keep an eye on the areas and report back to your doctor about any delayed reactions.
Instead of using individual syringes, this type of skin testing is done through a device that can deliver multiple allergens at one time. This test is good for food allergies, and also works well for environmental allergens. You'll have it done on the inner forearm and in 15 minutes, you will be able to measure your reactions with a professional. There can be false positives, but there are very few false negatives in this test.
Blood tests allow you to assess your allergies without stopping any medication. A vial of blood is drawn to test food and inhalant allergens. The blood sample will be assessed for certain allergy antibodies to specific foods or inhalants and the labs will validate the results after the tests are complete.
What Happens After Allergy Tests?
You and your doctor should decide what type of testing is best for your symptoms. If your test shows that you had a positive allergy result, you may want to consider immunotherapy. Immunotherapy consists of customized allergy drops or shots that can help you build up a tolerance to the allergen over time and helps decrease your allergy symptoms. Drops are something you can administer yourself once a day for the next 3-5 years to help keep allergies at bay Another option includes allergy shots which are twice weekly injections at your doctor's office that will eventually taper off over the next 3 years after you have built up to your maintenance dose. Contact Breathe Clear Institute to start your allergy testing process–and we can help determine what allergy test will be best for you.

Pussy Riot condemn Russian media at Amnesty International event
Kevin EG Perry Nov 17, 2014 6:58 pm GMT
Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina were watched by an audience including Django Django, Viv Albertine and Jamie Hince
Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina spoke out against Vladimir Putin's control of the Russian media at an Amnesty International event on Friday evening (November 14).
In her opening remarks, Alekhina said: "When the media isn't giving true information, people cannot choose. People will just keep choosing the only option that they are shown, in this case that's Vladimir Putin. I really wish it were possible to have accurate channels of information."
The pair were watched by an audience that included Amnesty campaigners who had fought for their release and a number of fellow artists and musicians. Django Django drummer and producer David Maclean took the opportunity to ask Tolokonnikova and Alekhina whether there's a comparison to be drawn between Russian actions in the Crimea and American and European interventionism in the Middle East. Tolokonnikova replied: "Obviously we do see similarities but every time we talk to leftists and hear these comparisons being made we're saddened. Of course, the man who is the biggest fan of comparing Russian foreign policy to Western foreign policy is Vladimir Putin, because he says what he's doing is exactly the same. It's oversimplifying things to compare Russian actions in the Crimea to American interventionism in the Middle East, so we think these interventions should be analysed separately."
Former Slits guitarist Viv Albertine asked whether a new generation of Russian girls had been inspired by the actions of Pussy Riot, or whether the government's treatment of them had in fact discouraged protest. Tolokonnikova argued that even if they've inspired a small number then that's significant in Russia: "At the end of the day, we inspired people to be less afraid. A lot of people started their political activity because of our involvement with the law. There's different value to someone going to a political rally in England than in Russia, so even if we've only inspired a few 100 people that has tremendous value in modern Russia."
Tolokonnikova and Alekhina are in London for the first time since their release from prison in December last year. They spoke at the Cambridge Union Society over the weekend, and their tour will continue with a London event hosted by The Guardian this evening. Tomorrow they will be speaking at a Henry Jackson Society event to mark the fifth anniversary of the death of murdered lawyer-turned-whistleblower Sergey Magnitsky. Tolokonnikova and Alekhina recently called on the US congress to add 16 officials to the Magnitsky list of human rights violators who face US sanctions.
In August 2012, Tolokonnikova and Alekhina were sentenced to two years' imprisonment following an anti-Putin performance in Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. The protest attracted support from the likes of Sir Paul McCartney and Aung San Suu Kyi. Tolokonnikova and Alekhina have been keeping busy since their early release from prison. In September, they launched MediaZona, an independent news outlet which focuses on Russia's justice system, as well as the NGO Zona Prava, which focuses on the need for prison reform in Russia.

Elias Herckmans (Ámsterdam, c. 1596-Recife, ) fue un geógrafo, cartógrafo, escritor y administrador neerlandés.

Administrador colonial

Capitanía de Paraíba
Fue director de la  Compañía Neerlandesa de las Indias Occidentales, gobernó la capitanía de Paraíba de 1636 a 1639.

De ese  periodo dejó un informe etnoráfico, económico y geográfico ricamente detallado sobre la capitanía, el cual tituló Generale Beschrjvinge van de Capitania Paraiba («Descripción General de la Capitanía de Paraíba»), datado en 1639. Su primera parte está dedicada a la capital, la segunda a los ingenios del valle de río Paraíba y la tercera a las costumbres de los tapuías, como se llamaban a los indios locales.

Chile
Posteriormente, en enroló en la expedición neerlandesa a Chile, con la intención de determinar la localición de las minas de oro, establecer una colonia en Valdivia, explorar la isla de Santa María y crear una alianza con los indígenas.

Bajo las órdenes del director Hendrik Brouwer, partieron cinco naves de Recife el 15 de enero de 1643, alcanzando Valdívia el 1 de mayo. Después del ataque la ciudad, los holandeses se dirigieron al archipiélago de Chiloé, en el sur de Chile y derrotaron a los españoles en el combate de Carelmapu e incendiaron Castro luego de la huida de sus habitantes.

En la isla, Brouwer enfermó gravemente y falleció. Su cuerpo fue embalsamado y transportado a  Valdívia, donde fue sepultado. Herckmans asumió el comando y aunque en un principio la aproximación a los Mapuches de Valdívia, tuvo éxito, luego no resultó exitosa cuando entendieron que las intenciones de los holandeses estaban en la búsqueda del oro, además Herchmans se mostó poco enérgico con sus comandados, quienes iniciaron un motín contra él.

Regreso a Brasil
De regreso a Recife, a Herckmans se le responsabilizó del fraso de la expedición y amargado por el fracaso y las acusaciones, falleció.

            location: this.state.event.location,
            description: this.state.event.description,
            start: {
              dateTime: new Date(this.state.start.dateTime),
              timeZone: 'America/Chicago',
            },
            end: {
              dateTime: new Date(this.state.end.dateTime),
              timeZone: 'America/Chicago',
            },
            recurrence: ['RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=1'],
            reminders: {
              useDefault: false,
              overrides: [
                { method: 'email', minutes: 24 * 60 },

              ],
            },
          };

['RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=1'], I know this is what's setting that recurrence but I'm not certain how to phrase it for one day every other week.

A: I thought that in your case, BYDAY might be able to be used. For example, when you want to set the events every Tuesday in the week, RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=TU can be used to the value of recurrence. TU is Tuesday. In this case, as the 1st day, the values of dateTime of the start and end are required to be for a day like "2020-12-15T12:00:00" and "2020-12-15T13:00:00" for start and end, respectively. Please be careful this.
As a sample, when you want to set the event from "2020-12-15T12:00:00" to "2020-12-15T13:00:00" every Tuesday in the week and the event is until 20201231, please modify your script as follows.
From:
recurrence: ['RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=1'],

To:
recurrence: ['RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=TU;UNTIL=20201231'],  //  or UNTIL=20201231T000000Z

*

*In this case, as the 1st day, please set the values of dateTime of the start and end to "2020-12-15T12:00:00" and "2020-12-15T13:00:00", respectively.

*And also, UNTIL is used.

*Events: insert

*RFC5545

recurrence[]: List of RRULE, EXRULE, RDATE and EXDATE lines for a recurring event, as specified in RFC5545. Note that DTSTART and DTEND lines are not allowed in this field; event start and end times are specified in the start and end fields. This field is omitted for single events or instances of recurring events.

A: I figured it out!!! To set a bi-weekly recurrence on an event you need to set the freq to weekly and then have an interval of 2.
For example my event is every other thursday.

['RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=TH;INTERVAL=2']

The Largest Bird Sculpture On Earth Took Artists 10 Years To Complete
In Nature , News
Jatayu Earth's Center is a national park located in Kerala, India that offers an amazing view of the nature that surrounds. India's tourism department and Rajiv Anchal, a film director and a sculptor, created this park as a shared project in late 2017. Since then, this nature park has become a massive hit with tourists because of its bird sculpture is the largest one to exist in the world.
The name of the bird is also Jatayu and its measurements are incredible. The bird sculpture's dimensions are 70 feet tall, 150 feet wide, and 200 feet long. The details on the sculpture are very surprising due to its size. It has individually layered and decorated feathers. The bird's amazing wings spread out on the ground which allows visitors to climb onto the statue's head and talons. Additionally, this statue also functions as the Earth Center's building and climbing on the bird's belly means that you're climbing on top of the building. This incredible structure took Anchal along with his team 10 years to finish.
Jatayu Earth Centre and adventure park opens in Kerala https://t.co/BbEUAg5bqd pic.twitter.com/dps3PZmbAa
— DNA (@dna) November 30, 2017
Aside from its incredible architectural points, the giant sculpture has an additional important context. The bird Jatayu is based on a Hindu epic called Ramayana. In the epic, the bird is known as the "Noble bird of divine origin" and the legend states that he tried to save Sita, the wife of Lord Rama. Lord Rama is thought to be the incarnation of Krishna and Vishnu. After Sita is being abducted by Ravana, the demon king, Jatayu comes to save her.
Jatayu battled with Ravana and the king cut off his left wing and took Sita and escaped. The statue of Jatayu is meant to be a tribute to the dedication and safety of women. Symbolically, the sculpture recognizes a "bygone era when humans, animals, and other living forms care for each other, and fellow beings lived peacefully on this Earth."
Never have I ever seen something quite as magnificent as Jadayupara – a mythical eagle that just so happens to be the largest bird sculpture in the world! 🦅 • Huge thanks to @keralatourism for an amazing 2 weeks exploring all four corners of Kerala and @withlai for the drone snap!

A sprint car driver was struck and killed Saturday night by a car driven by NASCAR's Tony Stewart after an accident on the track.
Kevin Ward Jr., 20, got out of his car to express dissatisfaction with Stewart after apparent contact between the two in a sprint car event at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in upstate New York, according to USA Today.
A video of the incident shows Ward out of his crashed car, walking on the track toward the race cars, which had slowed for a yellow flag. Ward points a finger and appears to be yelling. One car swerves to avoid Ward on the track.
Ward died from injuries suffered in the incident.
According to the Ontario County Sheriff's Department, the tragedy is being investigated as an on-track incident and is not a criminal investigation.
Stewart was scheduled to race at a NASCAR event Sunday at Watkins Glen International, but has decided not to participate in the event.

ISSUE: Japan's Economy April 9, 2018
Japan's Economy
By Rachel Premack
Will it keep losing decades?
The Japanese economy, once the envy of the world, has been struggling to escape the doldrums ever since its "Lost Decade" of the 1990s. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe swept into office in 2012 on promises to revive the economy through a policy that relied on three "arrows": expansive monetary policy, fiscal stimulus and structural reform. Progress has been slow, but two years of steady growth have revived hopes that Abenomics may finally be bearing fruit. Domestic consumption is increasing, unemployment is the lowest in 23 years and inflation is starting to rise slightly. Yet many economists remain skeptical, pointing to massive government debt and Abe's lack of progress in pushing through reforms to modernize the country's labor market and corporate structure.
Some key takeaways:
Japan's economic growth averaged just 1.18 percent annually over the past 28 years, during which the nation slipped from second to third place among the world's largest economies.
One of Japan's key economic problems is a shrinking and increasingly elderly population, which causes labor shortages and increases pressure on public finances.
Amid the recent economic growth, the mood of Japanese business owners is brightening. In a recent Bank of Japan survey, they expressed high levels of confidence and foresaw the need for higher production and employment.

Trosa kommun är en kommun i Södermanlands län. Centralort är Trosa.

Administrativ historik
Kommunens område motsvarar socknarna: Trosa, Vagnhärad och Västerljung. I dessa socknar bildades vid kommunreformen 1862 landskommuner med motsvarande namn. I området fanns även Trosa stad som 1863 bildade en stadskommun.

Trosa-Vagnhärads landskommun bildades 1926 av Trosa och Vagnhärads landskommuner. Vid kommunreformen 1952 sammanlades denna kommun med Västerljungs landskommun som fick det nygamla namnet Vagnhärads landskommun.

Trosa kommun bildades vid kommunreformen 1971 genom en ombildning av Trosa stad. Samtidigt, 1971, bildades Vagnhärads kommun genom en ombildning av Vagnhärads landskommun. 1974 uppgick Trosa och Vagnhärads kommuner i Nyköpings kommun, varur 1992 utbröts ett område motsvarande de två tidigare kommunerna vilka bildade en egen kommun under det nygamla namnet Trosa kommun.

Den 26 maj 2013 hölls en folkomröstning i kommunen om huruvida Trosa skulle byta län från Södermanlands län och landsting till Stockholms län och landsting. 63 % av de röstberättigade deltog i valet och svaret blev nej, då 41,2 % var för länsbyte och 58,6 % var emot.

Kommunen ingår sedan bildandet i Nyköpings tingsrätts domsaga.

Kommunvapnet
Blasonering: I blått fält en roddbåt med två par åror av guld och däröver en bildad måne av silver.

Vapnet fastställdes 1934 för Trosa stad och går tillbaka på ett sigill från 1600-talet. Båten anses syfta på strömmingsfiske. När Trosa år 1974 uppgick i Nyköpings kommun kom vapnet ur bruk. När nya Trosa kommun bildades 1992 registrerade det gamla stadsvapnet hos PRV för den nya kommunen. Även det i kommunen ingående Vagnhärad hade åren 1955–1973 ett vapen.

Befolkningsutveckling
Trosa kommun var 2020 den kommun i hela landet som hade störst befolkningsökning sett till folkmängd. Trosas befolkning ökade med 562 personer under 2020.

Indelningar
Fram till 2016 var kommunen för befolkningsrapportering indelad i en enda församling: Trosa församling

Från 2016 indelas kommunen i följande distrikt:
Trosa stadsdistrikt
Trosa-Vagnhärad
Västerljung

Tätorter
Vid tätortsavgränsningen av Statistiska centralbyrån den 31 december 2020 fanns det sju tätorter i Trosa kommun.

Centralorten är i fet stil.

Kommunikation
Tåg förbinder Vagnhärad med Nyköping och Norrköping söderut, och Södertälje och Stockholm norrut. Bussförbindelser finns med Nyköping och Södertälje. Motorvägen på E4 passerar genom kommunen strax utanför Vagnhärad. Restiden med tåg från Vagnhärad till Stockholm är drygt 45 minuter. Med bil tar det cirka 40 minuter. Avståndet från Trosa till Stockholm är 70 km, till Södertälje 38 km och till Nyköping 45 km.

Politik

Kommunstyrelsen

Totalt har kommunstyrelsen elva ledamöter, varav Moderaterna har tre, Socialdemokraterna har två samt Centerpartiet, Kristdemokraterna, Liberalerna, Miljöpartiet, Vänsterpartiet och Sverigedemokraterna har en ledamot vardera.

Mandatfördelning i Trosa kommun, valen 1991–2022

(LEAD) S. Korea's current account surplus narrows to $7.43 bln for Nov.
All News 10:31 January 05, 2018
(ATTN: ADDS more info in paras 5-8, photo)
SEOUL, Jan. 5 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's current account surplus narrowed in November over the previous year, due mainly to a sharp rise in the service account deficit, central bank data showed Friday.
The country's current account surplus reached US$7.43 billion in November, down slightly from a surplus of $8.03 billion a year earlier, according to preliminary data from the Bank of Korea (BOK).
November was the 69th consecutive month of a current account surplus, which started in March 2012.
The services account deficit widened to $3.27 billion from $1.81 billion a year earlier due to a rise in overseas trips and foreign business services.
The number of outbound travelers rose 22 percent on-year to 2.23 million in November, while 1.12 million foreign visitors came to South Korea, down 16.5 percent from a year earlier. In particular, the numbers for Chinese tourists plunged 42.1 percent to 345,000 in the same month.
China -- South Korea's largest trading partner -- has imposed restrictions on South Korean imports and banned the sale of group tour packages in retaliation for Seoul's decision to deploy an advanced U.S. missile defense system on its soil.
South Korea and China agreed in late October to put their bilateral relations back on a cooperative track, a move that could increase the number of Chinese tourists to South Korea moving forward.
"The lifting of the travel ban will likely bring about tangible results, such as an increase in Chinese visitors, from the new year," said Roh Cung-seak, director of the monetary and financial statistics division at the BOK. "When the on-year growth of Chinese tourists returns to positive terrain, South Korea's services account will improve."
But the goods account surplus widened to $11.46 billion in November from $9.69 billion a year earlier, as rising global demand helped South Korea enjoy strong overseas sales.
The primary income account swung to a deficit of $70 million in November from a surplus of $370 million a year earlier.
Meanwhile, Asia's fourth-largest economy saw its exports rise 9.5 percent on-year to $49.62 billion in November, with imports advancing 12.7 percent to $41.99 billion.

Whenever you do, sleep well! Yeah?
I'll probably make a roleplay thread tomorrow, it's not even that late but I'm getting tired uwu talk to you later broskie!!
Every time you contact me, I get really bad nightmares, and I hate it a lot. This one was so bad that I woke up with my heart racing, I was too scared to open my eyes, and I had to wait for several minutes for my cats to come in before I felt safe enough to open my eyes. Then my anxiety spiked up, so I had to send my cat downstairs so I could see it was "safe" before I went down to get myself a drink. I was parched, but I was too scared to physically move.


MAESTRO: Jungle Adventure BETA coming this week!
I missed half of the opening screen too, like the word adventure only showed half.
ok next update i'll do what I can haha!
Oh yeah and I say these things with a light heart, I love you guys and want to see us grow together...no ones alone here right? If we all supported each other C2 games would top the lists eventually, this is just the beginning..
We will be on Kongregate later today, with our first update fixes for Android coming later this week! Also Windows 8 users, Tizen users and Blackberry...expect those ports very soon!
Okay,TWO QUESTIONS!! :) Lets see if you're finally up to it!
I want to put in an ad when the user restarts the game for a second or they have to press the X to close it..so anyone have good links that can help with this info?
Number two, Ive read a bunch about the facebook command for highscoresz and whatnot, can you post a screenshot as well? And does it work? For android? And again the best links please..
here is the Kongregate link, its out now, try it!!
Ads, I havent done ads for kongegate, but I have done ads in the embedded html index page which c2 creates.
I signed up with life street, as they have 160x600 banners, which fit nicely on the side if you have a portrait type game.
Also, they are on the side of the game, not over.
Okay, so with the pace in the full version I'll be making stages in 30 second, 1 minute and 2 minute time lengths with bosses being unlimited until they are perished..
Kongregate is amazing, ads are already included, very easy to export and upload to, and the more plays, the more pay..if you have a chance please rate it, thanks a zillion!


Citing a supply chain source, Mac Otakara reports Apple's next iPhone will take a page out of Samsung's playbook with the introduction of IDT's Wireless PowerShare technology.
The Qi-based wireless charging solution debuted in 2015 as a method by which mobile devices can wirelessly charge one another. Samsung became the first major smartphone manufacturer to build the tech into a shipping handset with this year's Galaxy S10 series.
With Wireless PowerShare, a next-generation iPhone would be capable of charging Apple's new Wireless Charging Case for AirPods. Sources also claim the technology might be adapted to support Apple Watch, which uses a proprietary wireless charging protocol.
Today's report echoes predictions from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who in a research note in February said Apple's 2019 iPhone will ship with a "bilateral" wireless charging feature.
Resurfacing rumors from last year, the source suggests Apple might include an 18W charger with this year's flagship iPhones. Apple's current iPhone XS and XR series ship with a standard 5W USB power adapter in the box.

I just met a friend at a SQL Saturday who let me know that he recognizes my name because it was attached to a project I wrote five years ago. The "Blocked Process Report Viewer". I was impressed. I'm glad to know that it's still used. So I decided to update it for 2016.
I've extended the Blocked Process Report Viewer to look at blocked process reports that were collected with extended events session.
The value of the blocked process report viewer is that it organizes all the blocked processes into "episodes". Each episode has a lead blocker which is the process in the front of the traffic jam. Look at that process closely.
Let me know how it goes. Tell me if there are any errors or performance issues. I'm especially interested in the performance of the viewer when given extended events sessions that use ring_buffer targets.
Thanks Yarik, I've fixed it.
Yet another great tool/tips from Michael!!
Thanks for this very useful tool. I read about this tool before but never got chance to look into it. Today, I decided to give it a try and it was working fine. I used to run this session for longer period of time times , so value for "monitorloop" has lot of different values.
"monitorloop" is defined as "nvarchar(100)" which breaks ordering. I have changed "monitorloop" column's datatype to decimal(38,0) for now and its working fine for me now. I have checked this on Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP1-CU4).
Thanks for the feedback Chintak.
I'll get this in as a fix this week.
Thank you, Michael! It's 2018 and it still runs like a charm.
Wow! Glad to hear it Thiago!
In cases like this, how would you proceed to learn what was the statement of the original blocking query?
The closest I reached was using the waitresource info (OBJECT, PAGE or KEY), which gives me the exact resource being locked by session s1. However I need the statement executed that caused the blocking.
Is there any way to do it besides running a Trace/xEvents?
As you've already discovered, the blocking transaction has moved on from the particular query that locked table A.
I either deal with small transactions (in terms of number of statements) which makes discovering the first statement by inspecting the text of a procedure or batch easier.
But that doesn't help you. I don't know of any way off the top of my head (other than trace/xevents) that can indicate which query of a transaction took the lock. And I think maybe that's the best we can do. I imagine it would be very difficult for SQL Server to track the relationship and history of the relationship between locks and queries. Especially for very large transactions.
Michael, thanks again for your insights and I wish a lot of success for you.
I am in a blocked Process overload.
I started with WMI events and Alerts but for some reason could not get them to work. I found your Blocked Process Viewer on Brent Ozar's page and started looking into it and I think I have missed a step and I am not sure where.
Is there a literal step by step instructions for someone who is a little burned out (alottaBurned out) to follow to get this instituted correctly?
There's two parts. Collecting blocked process report data and then viewing it.
Specifically the section called Collecting Blocked Process Reports and Deadlocks Using Extended Events.
Once you believe you should have captured something, try looking to see if anything is there by expanding the extended event session.
Then try viewing it using the blocked process report viewer.

In every shipment we put together we try to include a few items that aren't typically found in Vancouver - a 'Kaarigar Experiment' if you like. More than uniqueness - what we look for is an item with an engaging story that our clients can connect with. On this occasion it's the turn of the humble tiffin. A tiffin, or dabba (DUH-bah), is a simple lunchbox made up of stackable stainless steel compartments. While they're common throughout India, Bombay is where the tiffin has truly left it's mark. In Bombay, a hot meal for your office or school lunch is not seen as a luxury but a necessity. Moreover, Indians are notoriously picky when it comes to food (just ask). Home cooking is king here. This is where the tiffin comes into play. Every weekday morning in Bombay, a delivery system unlike any other on the planet swings into action. The system's goal: pick-up, deliver and then return each lunchbox on-time - a monumental task given the traffic, weather and number of tiffins. The people that take on this challenge are known as dabbawallahs - literally: box-carriers. They make their rounds of Bombay's neighbourhoods after the morning commute, collecting freshly prepared tiffins. Through a combination of bicycles, railway trains, a simple coding system and a handful of sorting checkpoints, the dabbawallahs are able to deliver a hot home-cooked lunch to schools and workplaces across the city. After lunch, the process is reversed and the empty lunchbox is returned home. The most remarkable aspect of the dabbawallah system is its unprecedented success rate - a recent study found that a tiffin is late or goes missing roughly once in every seven-million deliveries. This success rate is even more impressive considering that the dabbawallahs have a low level of literacy and that Bombay has a high level of road congestion. More recently, the system has gained recognition from the international business community and fame from Bollywood (see the movie 'Lunchbox'). Come by and pick out your own piece of this story.
