How much damage is Trump's tariffs doing to the Chinese economy?
Chinese exports to the US have been subject to the Trump tariffs since last July. According to the US President, this is wrecking the Chinese economy but does the Asian power ultimately have more stomach for this fight?

Growth in the Chinese economy has been slowing steadily for much of the last decade. From a rate of 12 percent annual gross domestic product growth in 2010, the figure is now little more than half that.
Last year, the Chinese economy grew by 6.6 percent. A rate like that would be cause for huge celebration in practically every major western economy, but it was actually the slowest year of growth China has experienced since 1990.
2018 was also the year in which US President Donald Trump started slapping tariffs on Chinese imports, a practice which he continued in recent days with a fresh wave of levies. A crude calculation might directly connect that fact with China's 29-year low growth rate. But is it as simple as that?
"I think the slowdown is probably 50 percent due to the trade war and 50 percent due to the hit to credit from the crackdown on shadow banking, which has hurt the credit channel to the private sector," Allan von Mehren, Chief Analyst with DanskeBank, told DW.
He believes the biggest impact the tariffs have had on the Chinese economy over the last year has been the uncertainty they have prompted and the subsequent damage to business sentiment. "It has given a hit to consumer spending and private investments, not least in the export sector," he said.
Chinese exports are slowing down due to the tariff war Inspecting the damage
Chinese economic data released on Wednesday was not encouraging. China retail sales growth (year-on-year) slipped to its weakest reading since 2003, confirming von Mehren'sassertion that consumers are cutting back.
Another sign of trouble came from the country's industrial production data. Growth there slipped significantly in April, falling sharply from the March figures.
Yet overall, the economic data suggests there is little direct damage to the Chinese economy from Trump's tariffs, beyond the aforementioned impact on sentiment, which has affected investment as well as consumer spending.
According to van Mehren, that impact has been broad-basedbut one exception is in the construction sector, where government stimulus packages have helped keep home sales robust.
Muddling through with stimulus packages
The Chinese government itself has acknowledged the impact the trade conflict with the United States is having on the economy, though. In March, the government revised its 2019 growth rate target to between six percent and 6.5 percent, with Li Keqiang, the Chinese Prime Minister, citing "profound change in our external environment," a clear reference to the ongoing trade issues with the US.
Since July, when the US tariffs started to come into full effect, Beijing has adopted fiscal stimulus measures aimed at boosting investment and spending.
As well as that, the government has tried to improve access to credit for the private sector, in the face of the crackdown on the so-called shadow banking system, an industry of unregulated lending which operates outside of the regular banking system.
The fact that the economy continues to cool in the face of such measures hints at the significant challenges Trump has presented the world's second largest economy.
Another risk, according to van Mehren, is that some manufacturing companies will switch production from China to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam. "This is very hard to quantify, but anecdotal evidence suggests it is happening," he said.
Who pays the tariff?
It started with solar panels. Then it was steel and aluminum. Now, practically all the $476 billion worth of goods China exports to the US annually (see graphic above) are subject to some kind of tariff, ranging in scale from 10 percent up.
But it's worth remembering that tariffs are not automatically paid by Chinese exporters. Much of the time, US importers will choose to pay the additional cost. Although the volume of Chinese exports to the US started to decline once the US tariffs kicked in around July, there are still more than three times as many Chinese exports to the US as the other way around (see graphic below).
Even at a higher cost, American firms and businesses are still choosing to buy Chinese in copious volumes. That may partly explain why Trump has sought to increase the pressure on China in recent weeks, his latest move to declare telecommunications equipment made by "foreign adversaries" — a clear nod to Huawei — a national emergency.
In the fight
According to van Mehren though, China is able to deal with an escalation of trade hostilities.
"I don't think a resolution is urgent for China and they will not give any extra concessions due to the increased pressure," he said. "I think they are preparing for a long trade war now and believe they have more endurance."
While he does believe that the need for government stimulus packages has delayed some longer-term Chinese objectives such as the transitioning away from state-owned enterprises and infrastructure projects, he says the trade conflict is in many ways a "strategic gift" for China, in that it has hammered home the need for certain economic reforms in the country.
"What matters the most for Chinese outlook are reforms, education and investment in upgrading production," he says. "As long as China shows a commitment to this, I believe the outlook is still broadly positive."
Yet, there is a deeper concern arising from the trade conflict, he says, away from the pure economics, and that's the overall deterioration in Sino-US relations.
"The anti-Chinese sentiment in the US seems to be rising fast and I fear that the US will start challenging China on all fronts," he says.
Should that mean some form of military conflict, whether over Taiwan or South Chinese Sea territorial issues, the current trade conflict might feel rather tame in comparison.

The Sŏho Line is an electrified  narrow gauge railway line of the Korean State Railway in Hamhŭng-si, North Korea, running from Hamhŭng to Hŭngnam and Sŏho.

History

During the Japanese colonial era, the privately owned Sinhŭng Railway built a network of  narrow-gauge railways around Hamhŭng. These were the Hamnam Line, the Jangjin Line, and the Songheung Line opened between 1923 and 1933, and the Namhŭng Line, which was opened in three sections between 1934 and 1936.

The Sinhŭng Railway was bought by the Chosen Railway on 22 April 1938.

After the defeat of Japan in the Pacific War and the subsequent partition of Korea, the entirety of the line, being north of the 38th parallel, was located in the Soviet zone of occupation; on 10 August 1946, the Provisional People's Committee for North Korea nationalised all railways within its jurisdiction, including the Namhŭng Line, and it has since been operated by the Korean State Railway.

Originally built entirely as a narrow gauge line, frequent accidents on the line led the Korean State Railway to convert the Hamhŭng—Sinhŭng section of the Sinhŭng Line to standard gauge for greater safety and increased transportation capacity; after the regauging of this section was completed, West Hamhŭng station was disconnected from the Sinhŭng line. When Naeho Station was closed, the line between Hadŏk and Sŏho was realigned to the current, shorter alignment.

In 2017, the line was reconstructed with the participation of the Hamhung Narrow Gauge Railroad office, Yonggwang Yonju plant and organised by the South Hamgyong provincial party office. Stations, sleepers and concrete poles were all replaced. Hungdok station was rebuilt as a model station.

Services

The Sŏho Line is used exclusively for passenger trains for commuters.

Route
The pink background indicates that that section is electrified  narrow gauge.

Rolling stock
The line uses Charyokkaengsang-class locomotives (Korean: 자력갱생) originally built by Kim Chong-t'ae Electric Locomotive Works. They have 551kW motors and haul a number of passenger cars. These locomotives underwent complete body replacement by the 8 February Vinylon Factory and the Hamhung Narrow Gauge Office in 2017 and received a blue and white exterior along with the reconstruction of the line. Previously, the locomotives were yellow and red. A total of 8 locomotives and 22 passenger cars which were overhauled.

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy located outside the inner lining of the uterus. Risk factors for ectopic pregnancy include previous ectopic pregnancies and conditions (surgery, infection) that disrupt the normal anatomy of the Fallopian tubes. The major health risk of an ectopic pregnancy is internal bleeding. Diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy is usually established by blood hormone tests and pelvic ultrasound. Treatment options for ectopic pregnancy include both surgery and medication.
An ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a condition in which a fertilized egg settles and grows in any location other than the inner lining of the uterus. The vast majority of ectopic pregnancies are so-called tubal pregnancies and occur in the Fallopian tube (98%); however, they can occur in other locations, such as the ovary, cervix, and abdominal cavity. An ectopic pregnancy occurs in about one in 50 pregnancies. A molar pregnancy differs from an ectopic pregnancy in that it is usually a mass of tissue derived from an egg with incomplete genetic information that grows in the uterus in a grape-like mass that can cause symptoms to those of pregnancy.
The major health risk of ectopic pregnancy is rupture leading to internal bleeding. Before the 19th century, the mortality rate (the death rate) from ectopic pregnancies exceeded 50%. By the end of the 19th century, the mortality rate dropped to five percent because of surgical intervention. Statistics suggest with current advances in early detection, the mortality rate has improved to less than five in 10,000. The survival rate from ectopic pregnancies is improving even though the incidence of ectopic pregnancies is also increasing. The major reason for a poor outcome is failure to seek early medical attention. Ectopic pregnancy remains the leading cause of pregnancy-related death in the first trimester of pregnancy.
In rare cases, an ectopic pregnancy may occur at the same time as an intrauterine pregnancy. This is referred to as heterotopic pregnancy. The incidence of heterotopic pregnancy has risen in recent years due to the increasing use of IVF (in vitro fertilization) and other assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs).

vole pellet
Or, more conventionally, owl pellet. Owls consume small rodents, separate the digestible from the indigestible elements in the craw, and cough up pellets like this one composed of fur and bone. This year, an abundant one for voles, the owl diet is almost all vole (plus an occaional gopher). Hence, vole pellet.
It has been a good year for the vole population because abundant rains through the spring produced lots of feed and cover. A good vole year is a good owl year. The barn owls that annually use our nest box produced two clutches of young, as did several of the owl boxes in a neighboring vineyard, and they've been audible, and visible, most evenings and nights. Barn owls both hiss - a medium-long, edgy sound that I visualize as tearing paper - and click repetitively in 15-30 second bursts (and they make a noticeable "thump" as they land on the metal roof of our house). Infant owls are dependent on their parents for food for the first 6-8 weeks of life and make their demands by repetitively hissing. Watching young owls learn to fly, land, and perch is an entertaining spectacle.
The barn owl (tyto alba) is a global species, the most widely distributed owl and one of the most widely distributed of all birds. Barn owls, with a relatively high metabolism rate for birds their size, are among the most efficient predators of small invertebrates on the planet. A study in the Central Valley some time ago determined that a pair of adult barn owls will feed a family of owlets an average 68 pounds of prey before they fledge. Monitoring one nest box, the researchers found that one brood of owls had been fed 140 pounds of rodents.
This year's best owl experience occured on a late June evening under a full moon. In what must have been a convergence of several different families, there were 8-10 owls circling 80-100 feet overhead, hissing and clicking. Occasionally, one or two would separate from the pack and come down and inspect me, hover 3-4 feet above my head in the light wind, and then, satisfied or not, return to join the others soaring above.
My son's 3rd grade teacher, an eccentric with a genius for instruction, encouraged his charges to collect owl pellets, and Frederik and mom or dad would regularly scout the ground under the palm trees by the golf course in Sacramento's Land Park for pellets. The treasures would be soaked in formaldehyde and then teased apart and evaluated for content. Ecology, anatomy, zoology, fresh air, sunshine, microscopes. Although in this case he helped to produce a mathematician, not an ecologist, I hope that there are teachers like that one still surviving in our public schools.
The meadow vole (microtus; our variety is microtus californicus) is remarkably productive and may be the world's most prolific mammal. Females can breed when they are a month old and produce litters of 3-10 pups every three weeks for the rest of their lives. They go through boom-and-bust population cycles which do not, from local observation, always track with weather or rainfall conditions. They eat green growing things; an irrigated garden is a magnet for voles in the summer.
A good vole year is not a good gardening year, but the owls help significantly.
(Thanks to Frances Oliver's father for the owl box and to Steve Simmons of Merced for some of this information.)

Enter the dark and foreboding world of Chet Zar, where apocalyptic industrial landscapes are inhabited by disturbing yet beautiful monstrosities. Sometimes gruesome, periodically funny, but always thought-provoking, Zar's art is as enigmatic as it is frightening. But who is Chet Zar, and why does he like to paint monsters? These are the questions at the heart of Chet Zar: I Like to Paint Monsters.
Zar is an influential figure in the Dark Art Movement, and, given his chosen moniker "Painter of Dark," this is no surprise. Born in 1967 in San Pedro, California, Zar was well known as the family prankster. With a passion for horror films, an innate urge to create bizarre artwork, and a superhuman work ethic, Zar seemed to be made for the special effects industry. During his time with the film industry, he designed and created creatures and make-up effects for such films as Darkman, The Ring, Hellboy I & II, and Planet of the Apes. Even more well-known is his work with the band Tool, contributing to both their music videos and their on-stage theatrical animations.
Despite his success in the film industry, Zar became disenchanted by the many artistic compromises required of him. With the support of his family and horror author Clive Barker, Zar decided in early 2000 to pursue his passion for monsters by painting them. In this new arena, he has flourished and found the much-needed freedom to explore his internal world and all of the oddities created by his brush strokes.
Chet Zar: I Like to Paint Monsters is your opportunity to take a journey into the mind and life of Zar. Become acquainted with his thoughts, motivations, and reflections of the past as well as his projections of the future. Delve into his experiences in the film industry, his transition from early special effects into the world of computer animation, and, ultimately, his evolution into the distinctive artist he is today.
This unique opportunity will allow you unprecedented access into the Dark Art movement, including the studios where it is being forged and the galleries where this cataclysmic work is being shown. Take part in this dynamic endeavor to explore the life and work of Chet Zar, "Painter of Dark"!
Making a reputation with her lacquer work in the beginning of the 20th century, Gray became a critically acclaimed and sought-after decorator and designer before reinventing herself as an architect. Her first and most famous building, a modernist villa on the French Riviera called E-1027, was for many years mistakenly credited to her mentor, Le Corbusier. For the most part, her pioneering work was done quietly, privately and to her own specifications. But she lived long enough (98 years old) to be rediscovered and acclaimed. Today, with her work commanding extraordinary prices and attention, her legacy, like its creator, remains elusive, contested, and compelling.
HANS RICHTER: Everything Turns - Everything Revolves celebrates the life of the Dadaist, abstract painter and experimental filmmaker who was a major force in redefining art in the 20th century. In collaboration with friends including Marcel Duchamp, Sergei Eisenstein, Tristan Tzara, Mies Van Der Rohe and Hans Arp, Richter was at the leading edge of the European Avant Garde. His 1920s experimental films "Rhythmus 21" and "Ghosts Before Breakfast" established film as a unique art form, liberated from the theatrical conventions of script and actors.
After being forced out of Europe by the Nazis in 1941, Richter escaped to the U.S. where he became a prophet of modernism for a generation of young American artist/filmmakers, who would galvanize into the New American Cinema movement.
Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: Enter Here is a double portrait in film of the lives and work of Russia's most celebrated international artists, now American citizens, as they come to terms with their global lives and the new Russia. Two decades after he fled the Soviet Union, Ilya Kabakov overcomes his fears to install six walk-through installations in venues throughout Moscow, where he was once forbidden to exhibit his art. Amidst the cacophony of a city and a country in dizzying transition, he comes face to face with the memories that have made him who he is.
Through the eyes, work, and lives of artists who experienced Stalin's tyranny, through the rich underground art life during Brezhnev's stagnation and the rootlessness of immigration, the film bridges much of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st.
Its emotional heart is a letter which Ilya Kabakov's mother wrote him when she was 80, detailing the everyday horrors of her life in the Russia of revolution and after. The letter emerges in the art, in archival footage, and in voice-over.
With unparalleled access to the artists and to a global community of their friends and observers by acclaimed director Amei Wallach, who was Ilya Kabakov's first biographer, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: Enter Here explores the ways in which art can outwit oppression, illuminate what comes next, and transcend its time, resonating with repressed societies today.
LEVITATED MASS is Doug Pray's new documentary about a two-story tall, 340-ton, granite boulder that was moved from a quarry in Riverside to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and mounted atop the walls of a gigantic slot in the earth. The massive artwork, titled Levitated Mass, is the latest 'land sculpture' by one of America's most exciting and misunderstood artists, Michael Heizer. Heizer's sculpture references the expanse of art history - from ancient traditions of megalithic stones to modern forms of abstract geometries and cutting-edge feats of engineering.
The boulder's 105-mile journey from quarry to museum attracted international media attention and challenged the imagination of thousands of Southern Californians over 10 nights as it crawled through 22 cities on a football-field length, 206-wheeled trailer. The film captures this spectacle while weaving together the dramatic story of the reclusive Heizer, the ambitions of a major metropolitan museum, and the public's wild reactions to this massive display of modern yet eerily timeless conceptual art.
The anger and outrage captured by graphic artists have defined revolutions through the centuries. Printmakers have depicted the human condition in all its glories and struggles so powerfully that perceptions, attitudes and politics have been dramatically influenced. And the value and impact of this art is even more important today.
In the new documentary, Art Is...The Permanent Revolution, three contemporary American artists and a master printer help explain the dynamic sequences of social reality and protest. Among the wide range of 60 artists on display are Rembrandt, Goya, Daumier, Kollwitz, Dix, Masereel, Grosz, Gropper, and Picasso. While their stirring graphics sweep by, the making of an etching, a woodcut and a lithograph unfolds before our eyes, as the contemporary artists join their illustrious predecessors in creating art of social engagement.
Bert Stern's photography career began in the mailroom of Look Magazine - where he formed a close relationship with a young staffer named Stanley Kubrick - and quickly took off during the Golden Age of Advertising. Sought after by Madison Avenue, Hollywood, and the fashion world, Stern, like Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, became not just a photographer but a star in his own right. This is a story of self-creation - rise, fall, and reinvention - exploring creativity, celebrity, and desire through the eyes of a man who got everything he wanted. Almost.
This wry documentary takes viewers through the insane and passionate journey of two artists forced to ponder the unexpected. It begins as a simple chronicle of the construction of a thousand-foot stone wall by a novice builder on a large property in rural Quebec. But what was estimated as an 8-week project slowly morphs into a 10-year undertaking that makes both subject and filmmaker question their personal identities and the meaning of what they have made. Sometimes art - and life - are as much about the process as they are about the finished product.
1957. The Latin Quarter, Paris. A cheap no-name hotel becomes a haven for a new breed of artists fleeing the conformity and censorship of America. Called the Beat Hotel, it soon became an epicenter of the Beat generation. Alan Govenar's feature documentary delves deep into this amazing place and time.
Fleeing the obscenity trials surrounding the publication of Howl, Allen Ginsberg, along with Peter Orlovsky and Gregory Corso, happened upon the hotel on rue Git le Coeur and were soon joined by William Burroughs, Ian Somerville, and Brion Gysin. Run by Madame Rachou, the Beat Hotel was a hot bed of creativity and permissiveness, where Burroughs finished Naked Lunch; Ginsberg began his poem Kaddish; Somerville and Gysin invented the Dream Machine; Corso wrote some of his greatest poems; and Harold Norse wrote a novella, aptly called The Beat Hotel.
British photograher Harold Chapman's iconic photos and Scottish artist Elliot Rudie's drawings, interwoven with firsthand accounts, capture the Beats just as they were beginning to establish themselves, and bring The Beat Hotel to life.
Filmed over three years, this documentary is an unprecedented record of a major artist at work. It captures David Hockney's return from California to paint his native Yorkshire, outside, through the seasons and in all weathers. It tells the story of a homecoming and gives a revealing portrait of what inspires and motivates today's greatest living British-born artist.
For almost 2000 years, the ancient Maya of Central America recorded their history and ideas in an intricate and beautiful hieroglyphic script. Then, in the 16th century, Spanish invaders burned their books and ruthlessly extinguished hieroglyphic literacy. By the 18th century, when stone inscriptions were discovered buried in the jungles of Central America, no one on earth could read them. Breaking the Maya Code is the story of the 200-year struggle to unlock the lost secrets of this ancient civilization.
Based on archaeologist Michael Coe's book, called by The New York Times "one of the great stories of twentieth century scientific discovery," this amazing detective story is filled with false leads, rivalries and colliding personalities. It takes us from the jungles of Guatemala to the bitter cold of Russia, from ancient Maya temples to the dusty libraries of Dresden and Madrid.
The deciphered texts reveal an epic history of alliances and betrayals, powerful rulers, brilliant generals and sophisticated artist-scribes. They also unveil a world of kings and queens who shed and burned their blood to invoke the Vision Serpent, and an intricate cosmology that weaves together the lives of humans, the deeds of mythic heroes and the cycles of the planets and the stars. For the six million Maya living today the decipherment is a doorway to the past - uniting them with their own lost history and opening up an invaluable treasure for all of us.
Art that was "headbuttingly impossible to ignore" is how Charles Saatchi describes the work that intrigued him as he started to collect British art in the early 1990s. Damien Hirst's giant shark in formaldehyde, Tracey Emin's unmade bed and a chilling portrait of Myra Hindley by Marcus Harvey are among the artworks that have since become icons of the decade. The Saatchi Gallery, now in the former County Hall in London, is a permanent home for a changing selection of Saatchi's world-famous collection.
The Saatchi Gallery 100 is a fast-paced and fascinating film featuring one hundred of these artworks, accompanied by reflections and anecdotes from the artists themselves. Sarah Lucas' confrontational self-portraits are among the highlights, as are the bold paintings of Gary Hume, photographs by Richard Billingham, sculptures of genetically mutated children by Jake and Dinos Chapman, and many more.
Like the collection itself, the film offers a unique understanding of why London has become the centre of the international art world over the past decade - and how art in Britain continues to surprise and challenge and delight.
From the Impressionism of the 1800s through the experiments of the last decade, this colorful program analyzes the most important trends of the last two centuries.
Unit One: The Break with Tradition introduces students to the origins of modern art. Explains one of the most revolutionary aspects of Impressionists painting-its use of color-as seen in the works of Monet, Pissarro and Renoir.
Unit Four: Contemporary Trends describes the American art scene in the 1940s when painters in New York developed Abstract Expressionism. Among the artists represented are Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Adolph Gottlieb and mark Rothko. Brings the discussion up to the present by examining the Minimal, Pop, Conceptual and Photo-realist movements.
Unit Three: Exploring the Heart & the Mind discusses the Expressionist and Surrealist artists who sought to reveal deep feelings and subconscious thoughts in their paintings. Includes work by Rousseau, Redon, Roualt, Matisse, Nolde, Kirchner, Kandinski and others.
Unit Two: The Reconstruction of Space highlights a major category of modern art-Cubism-and traces the influence of Cezzane's cubistic style on Picasso and Braque.
A Chronological exploration of the elements of composition, focusing on the element of pattern, from Gozzoli to Matisse; structure from Pollaiuolo to Cezzane; and expression from Sassetta to Degas. Students study two-dimensional and three-dimensional compositions and learn the similarities and differences between the two.
This program investigates the ways various art forms are used to sway minds and to argue political causes. Examples include Napoleon and Hitler; artist such as Daumier, Hogarth and Shahn; writers Dickens, Swift and Orwell; and pop artists who mock popular ideals.

Q: Is there a "Code Coverage" equivalent for SQL databases? I have a database with many tables that get used, and many tables that are no longer used. While I could sort through each table manually to see if they are still in use, that would be a cumbersome task. Is there any software/hidden feature that can be used on a SQL Server/Oracle database that would return information like "Tables x,y,z have not been used in the past month" "Tables a,b,c have been used 17 times today"? Or possibly a way to sort tables by "Date Last Modified/Selected From"?
Or is there a better way to go about doing this? Thanks
edit: I found a "modify_date" column when executing "SELECT * FROM sys.tables ORDER BY modify_date desc", but this seems to only keep track of modifications to the table's structure, not its contents.

A: replace spt_values with the tablename you are interested in, the query will give the the last time it was used and what it was used by
From here: Finding Out How Many Times A Table Is Being Used In Ad Hoc Or Procedure Calls In SQL Server 2005 And 2008
SELECT * FROM(SELECT COALESCE(OBJECT_NAME(s2.objectid),'Ad-Hoc') AS ProcName,execution_count,
    (SELECT TOP 1 SUBSTRING(s2.TEXT,statement_start_offset / 2+1 ,
      ( (CASE WHEN statement_end_offset = -1
         THEN (LEN(CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),s2.TEXT)) * 2)
         ELSE statement_end_offset END)  - statement_start_offset) / 2+1))  AS sql_statement,
       last_execution_time
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS s1
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) AS s2 ) x
WHERE sql_statement like '%spt_values%'  -- replace here
AND sql_statement NOT like 'SELECT * FROM(SELECT coalesce(object_name(s2.objectid)%'
ORDER BY execution_count DESC

Keep in mind that if you restart the box, this will be cleared out

A: In Oracle you can use the ASH (Active Session History) to find info about SQL that was used. You can also perform code coverage tests with the Hierarchical profiler, where you can find which parts of the stored procedures is used or not used.
If you wonder about the updates on table data, you can also use DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS. This shows how many inserts, updates, deletes are done on a table or table partition. As soon as new object statistics are generated, the row for the specified table is removed from DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS. You still have help here, since you could also have a peek in the table statistics history. This does not show anything about tables that are queried only. If you really need to know about this, you are to use the ASH.
Note, for both ASH and statistics history access, you do need the diagnostics or tuning pack license. (normally you would want this anyway).

A: If you use trigger you can detect update insert or delete on table.
Access is problably more difficult.

A: I use a combination of static analysis in the metadata to determine tables/columns which have no dependencies and runtime traces in SQL Server to see what activity is happening.

A: Some more queries that might be useful for you.
select * from sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats

select * from sys.dm_db_index_operational_stats(db_id(),NULL,NULL,NULL)

select * from sys.sql_expression_dependencies /*SQL Server 2008 only*/

The difference betweeen what the first 2 DMVs report is explained well in this blog post.

A: Ed Elliott's open source tool, SQL Cover, is a good bet and has built-in support for the popular unit testing tool, tSQLt.

Sitting here at home, I am surrounded by Star Wars memorabilia. At work? Even worse. There is my Storm Trooper standee, my Darth Vader Helmet, my Clone Trooper helmet, my C3-P0 maquette, Darth Maul is over there, light sabers galore. No single thing touches my inner child like Star Wars. Nothing. So much so, that when people flame out over the prequels, I demure, and stay quiet, because… heck, they were one more look into the world that was my childhood. So they were alright by me.
But when thinking about The Force Awakens, and the possibilities… Something strange happens.
I remember when I stood in line for a day or two a piece just to get tickets. And the experience I had with the fans. I remember the interviews I gave with the radio stations and craziness of the days out there just laughing and playing cards on piles of uneaten pizza donated by the local Dominos station. More fantastic memories. So when you ask me about J.J. Abrams and his latest permutation on the glory that is Star Wars, I say… just icing on the cake, just icing on the cake.
Until I saw this… because, after seeing this, you know what? This new movie, The Force Awakens, may just be the cake… it just might be the cake. This Comic Con Reel is just absolutely to die for.
I'm ready now to run out and stand in line. Let's go people. STAR WARS IS BACK BABY! (Never mind that that mouse may very well run it directly into the ground with 7 more movies in the following 6 months… but We'll talk about that another day. Cause right now…) STAR WARS IS BACK!

Third World with special guest SoPoz at Elevation 27
Smooth Reggae
With four decades of smash hit songs, sold-out tours and inspirational messages, one may wonder, "Where did it all begin? What gives Third World the staying power so rare in the music industry?" Third World is more than just one of the top Reggae bands of all time, it is an institution that stands for producing and performing music that, while holding firm to the cultural and ancestral roots of its members, still pushes forward the cutting edge of music worldwide. It is an institution whose themes are positive, progressive and internationally relevant.
We invite you to take a listen to THIRD WORLD!
Celebrating 45 years, 'Reggae Ambassadors', THIRD WORLD is one of the longest-lived Reggae bands of all time, and one of Jamaica's most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences. Mixing in elements of R&B, funk, pop, and rock and, later on, dancehall and rap, Third World's style has been described as "reggae-fusion". Singer Bunny Rugs described the band's sound: "Strictly a reggae band, no. Definitely a reggae band, yes." Guitarist Cat Coore said of their music: "The hybrid of various types of music is a natural thing because, by growing up in Jamaica, we know the direct roots of reggae and ska. At the same time we live in a country where you get to hear Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and all the R & B artists." Bassist Richard Daley said, "We took roots reggae music and put branches on top of it".
The genesis of Third World was originally formed in 1973 by guitarist/cellist Steven "Cat" Coore, keyboardist Michael "Ibo" Cooper, drummer Carl Barovier and singer Milton "Prilly" Hamilton all of Inner Circle, along with bassist Colin "Oliver" Leslie. Tomorrows Children bass guitarist, Richard Daley soon replaced Colin Leslie and Leslie teamed up with Darren Green to manage and organize the group. After a few months, Barovier was replaced by Cornell Marshall, and the group made its live debut that year at Jamaica's independence celebration. They played in and around the Kingston club scene and on the hotel scene island wide, making a name for themselves as one of the few fully self-contained bands around.
In 1974, percussionist Irwin "Carrot" Jarrett joined the group and that same year they recorded their debut single, "Railroad Track". In 1975, Third World was eager to broaden their musical horizons and took a chance by travelling with no tour dates on the books to England. The trip was fortunate and Third World subsequently inked a deal with the internationally minded Island label, who sent the young talented musicians out as the opening act for Bob Marley & the Wailers' 1975 World Tour.
Their self-titled debut album, Third World was released on the Island imprint in 1976 and featured a popular cover of the Abyssinians' the roots classic "Satta Massagana." The follow-up, 1977's 96° in the Shade, introduced new drummer Willie "Roots" Stewart and new lead singer William Clark, aka Bunny Rugs. The LP was an enormous critical success in the U.K. and Europe, and spawned an all-time classic single in the title track. That set the stage for the group's commercial breakthrough album, 1978's Journey to Addis, which featured a funky, disco-flavored reggae cover of the O'Jays' "Now That We've Found Love." The song hit the Top Ten on the American R&B charts in 1979, as well as the British pop Top Ten, and the LP climbed into the R&B Top 20. The follow-up single, "Cool Meditation," made the British Top 20 and Third World emerged as international stars.
The group quickly followed its breakout hit with The Story's Been Told later in 1979, and it charted in the US. In 1980, they issued two albums, Rise In Harmony and the film soundtrack Prisoner in the Street, which marked the end of their tenure with Island. Third World next signed with CBS and debuted with 1981's Rock the World, which gave them another significant crossover hit in "Dancing on the Floor (Hooked on Love)," a British Top Ten. At the 1981 Reggae Sunsplash Festival, Stevie Wonder joined Third World on-stage to perform his tribute to Bob Marley, "Master Blaster (Jammin')"; it went well enough that Wonder wrote and produced two singles on the group's next album, 1982's You've Got the Power. The first single, "Try Jah Love," was a funky dance track that became another significant crossover hit in America, nearly hitting the R&B Top 20. The second single, "You're Playing Us Too Close," wasn't as commercial, but the musical synergy created in the recording studio between Wonder & the band was so dynamic that You've Got the Power became Third World's second album to hit the US R&B Top 20 charts.
The band's success continued on through the '80s, as 1983's All The Way Strong and 1985's Sense of Purpose both made the R&B Top 50. The latter album produced several crossover hits in the title track, "One To One," and "One More Time," which sported state-of-the-art, club-friendly dance beats. In 1987 Third World collaborated in the studio with songwriters, Gamble and Huff and CBS released, Hold on to Love, the album went on to be their first of 10 Reggae Grammy nominations. After their departure from CBS, the band joined the Mercury label and their 1989 label debut, Serious Business, restored their commercial standing with American R&B audiences, climbing into the Top 30 on the strength of a third major crossover hit, "Forbidden Love." One of the first commercially successful fusions of reggae and rap, "Forbidden Love" featured a guest appearance by Stetsasonic lead rapper Daddy O, and charted in the R&B Top 20.
Third World's second Mercury album was 1992's dancehall-flavored Committed, which produced a Top 30 R&B hit in the title cut. Their next release, 1994's Live It Up, appeared on the band's own label, TWB. In 1997, founding member Michael "Ibo" Cooper and Willie Stewart both departed, and were replaced by keyboardist Leroy "Baarbe" Romans and drummer Tony "Ruption" Williams, respectively and the return of Rupert Bent. This lineup released Generation Coming in 1999, landing guest spots from Shaggy and Bounty Killer. Afterwards, Romans was replaced by Herbie Harris, who made his studio debut on 2003's Ain't Givin' Up. The same year Third World celebrated a quarter century of playing music by re-recording their classics for 25th Anniversary. Two years later they returned with Black, Gold, Green which included guests Beres Hammond, Wayne Marshall, and Blue Fox.
Their 2011 effort, Patriots, was released under their own label imprint, Third World Music Group featuring collaborations with Toots Hibbert, Marcia Griffiths, the late Gregory Isaacs, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Dean Fraser, Inner Circle, Mykal Rose, Junior Reid, Capleton, Stephen & Damian Marley, Tarrus Riley and Tessanne Chin. Single releases from Patriots include the "Spirit Lives ft Junior Reid & Inner Circle", a dedication to the people of Haiti after the 2011 earthquake, "By My Side ft Tessanne Chin" and showcased in Robert Townsend's popular online series "Diary of a Single Mom", "Good Hearted People ft Capleton", and a remake of the band's classic, "96 Degrees In the Shade ft Stephen and Damian Marley".
With 10 Grammy nominations and catalogue of charted hits spanning four decades, Third World accolades include, the 1986 United Nations Peace Medal, 1992 and 1996 Jamaica Music Industry Awards for Best Show Band, New York City Ambassador Award in November 2009 at Brooklyn Academy of Music ("BAM"), 2011 Excellence in Music at the Atlanta Caribbean Festival, numerous awards and accolades from Martin's International Reggae and World Music Awards, in 2012 William Clark was awarded Ambassador at Caribbean American Heritage Awards in Washington DC and most recently "The Art of Reggae Music" award for 40 years of quality music and dedication at the 2013 staging of Jamaica Jazz and Blues in Montego Bay.

Pay-offs considered in long-running Caerphilly council dispute
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-41754047
Image caption Anthony O'Sullivan, Nigel Barnett and Daniel Perkins had charges against them dropped
A deal could be struck to approve a financial settlement for two of three senior council officers who have been suspended on full pay for years.
Caerphilly council's deputy chief executive Nigel Burnett and head of legal services Daniel Perkins were suspended in 2013 after a Wales Audit Office report on salary increases.
The former chief executive Anthony O'Sullivan is also on "special leave".
Councillors will be asked to consider a package for two of them on 31 October.
It was claimed in September 2012 that the three officers agreed to give themselves 20% pay rises when most council staff faced pay freezes.
The pay rises were later changed to smaller increases.
The council's costly pay row rise explained
Caerphilly council dispute cost £3m
Charges dropped against council bosses
'Unlawful' payments made rules watchdog
A police investigation into the affair led to a a criminal case which was dropped in 2015.
An internal investigation has been ongoing but now councillors will be asked to approve settlement deals for Mr Barnett and Mr Perkins.
The size of the financial agreements and the terms have not been made public at this stage, but they are expected to be substantial.
The report to councillors stated that "in both cases, the cost of this settlement is less than the cost of continuing with the investigation".
There was no information on whether another settlement with Anthony O'Sullivan is likely in the near future.
The overall cost of the affair to Caerphilly council has already run into millions of pounds.
It was revealed in June that the cost to the authority had reached nearly £3m.
The bill has continued to rise, with more than £2m now paid in salaries to the three men over the period, and £500,000 in legal costs for the council.
Leader of the Plaid Cymru group on the council, Colin Mann, said many local people would be "naturally concerned and upset" that a financial settlement was being put forward.
"If the settlement is agreed we would expect and demand that the council gives details of the payments made to the two officers as this is public money and the public have a right to know," he stated.

Tips for Teachers — Guyana - Read. Play. Love.
People live up (or down) to expectations -- children included. At school we expect the kids to pour their own water at snack, to throw away their plates, to hang up their jackets -- and they do. But then they'll walk out of the classroom and the thumb goes in the mouth and they climb into strollers. Raise the bar and your child will stretch to meet it.
While it may be quicker and easier to do it yourself, it won't help to your child become self-sufficient. Appeal to her sense of pride. Ask them: 'Do you want me to help you or can you do it yourself? The Children always want to do it for themselves.
If your child makes her bed, resist the urge to smooth the blankets. If she dresses herself in stripes and polka dots, compliment her "eclectic" style. Unless absolutely necessary, don't fix what your child accomplishes, He/she will notice and it may discourage your child.
If you see your child trying to assemble a toy or get a book from a shelf that she can reach if she stands on her stepstool, pause before racing over to help. Provided that they are safe, those moments when you don't rush in, when you give children a moment to solve things for themselves, those are the character-building moments. It's natural to want to make everything perfect, but if we do, we cheat kids of the chance to experience success.
Putting your young child in charge of a regular, simple task will build her confidence and sense of competency. Just be sure the chore you assign is manageable and that it's real work, not busywork, since even young children know the difference. The goal is to make your child feel like a capable, contributing member of the family.
Realize that each child has a different way of learning. Some children learn best by looking, such as watching a demonstration. Others learn in an auditory mode, such as listening to instruction. Others learn best by using their body to feel, touch, and explore. If one of these methods does not work right away, try another one. Visit us on Facebook to let us know what worked for you!
How to get your child under 5 to cooperate, willingly and happily.
Especially if your child is not in a cooperative phase. Try to catch her being good and praise the good behaviour. Kids repeat behaviors that get attention.
Children cooperate in school because they know what's expected of them. The more consistent you are, the more cooperative your child will be.
Make requests with words that assumes cooperation. "If you finish putting away your toys, we can go for a walk" suggests that perhaps your child won't clean up his toys. Try instead: "When you put your toys away, we'll go for a walk."
Get comfortable saying "Go play." It's not your job to see that your child is entertained 24/7. Let him/her get a little bored. But make sure he/she has items to play with - like dress-up clothes, pen and paper, a big cardboard box, and play dough.
If your child is fighting over a toy with another child, set a timer for five minutes. Tell one child he can have the toy until he hears the buzzer, and then it will be the other child's turn.
Instead of swooping in to settle disputes, stand back and let them work it out (unless they're hitting each other). You won't always be there to rescue your child.
3 Effective discipline strategies Nursery teachers recommend.
If your child is jumping on the couch or grabbing for her big sister's dolls, distract her by asking if she'd like to draw a picture or read a short story together.
If you find her coloring on the walls, have her help wash it off. If she knocks over a playmate's block tower, ask her to help rebuild it.
If you must reprimand your child, do so when you see her misbehaving. Sometimes parents say, 'Wait until we get home ... ,' but by the time you're home, your child has forgotten the incident.

Paul Keenan
Posted on 29th May 2019 by admin	in Composers
Born in 1956 in Birmingham, Paul studied composition with Anthony Gilbert at The Royal Northern College of Music. He continued privately with Bill Hopkins, in whose memory he wrote a guitar duo (1981; extended 1984) with funds made available by North West Arts. Duo: In Memory Bill Hopkins was performed by the Aguado Duo as part of the Contemporary Music Circuit 1984. Funded by the British Council, it later toured India, Syria, Hong-Kong and Australia.
In 1977, his Concerto for Groups of Instruments won The Royal Philharmonic Society Prize. Music for Wood and Strings (1978) was awarded the silver medal of the Worshipful Company of Musicians, but the most important work of this period is The Ruin, part 1 (1976-9) for two voices and fourteen instruments . Set to part of an Anglo-Saxon poem, The Ruin , is a "double time refraction" and evokes the strong, though not specific, sense of place which permeates all Paul's later compositions. Its development can be heard most clearly in Squaring xlvii (1996-7), set to Seamus Heaney's poem, with the poet's kind permission. More subtly, the beating wings of swans in flight are woven into Palimpsest (1992-5), while Comet Hale-Bopp (1997-8), charts the myriad and silent journey of the comet's radiance.
Paul worked as a peripatetic woodwind teacher in County Durham, and a conservation worker in North Norfolk. Having qualified as a secondary school music teacher, he moved to the Scottish Borders in 1988 to teach in Berwick-upon-Tweed. In 1992 he began a Ph.D. supervised by Nigel Osborne at Edinburgh University, where, although submitting for a doctorate in musical composition (awarded July 1999), he spent long hours in the Physics department conducting spectral analyses of trombone 'lip' multiphonics.
The musical ideas thus generated proved, like a rainbow, to have no end! Paul's research broadened to include gas cylinders, birdsong, woodwind multiphonics and vocal sounds. It attracted interest from Border Television, where film director Peter Chapman was fascinated by the overlap between art and science. A documentary about Paul's work, which included a complete performance of Cloudscapes (1996) was broadcast in October 1998, explained how Paul's research "fed into" his compositional techniques, and explored the relationship between his music and the natural world.
In July 1999 Paul was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (a cancer of the bone marrow). He died on 26th June 2001.

A two-dimensional chiral high-performance liquid chromatographic (2D-HPLC) system has been established for the analysis of extraterrestrial amino acids. As the targets, 8 chiral amino acids (alanine (Ala), valine (Val), 2-aminobutyric acid (2AB), norvaline (nVal), N-methylalanine (N-MeAla), isovaline (iVal), 3AB and 3-aminoisobutyric acid (3AIB)) and 5 non-chiral amino acids (glycine (Gly), β-Ala, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), sarcosine (Sar) and 2AIB) were selected. These amino acids were tagged with 4-fluoro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-F), and non-enantioselectively separated by a capillary monolithic ODS column in the first dimension. The target fractions were automatically introduced into the second dimension and further separated by Pirkle-type enantioselective columns. By using this system, the 2D-HPLC separation of 21 components in small particles of a carbonaceous chondrite (Yamato 791191, Antarctic CM2 meteorite) could be successfully performed, and all of the target amino acids were observed. The D/L ratios of the chiral molecules are almost 50/50 for all of the tested proteinogenic and non-proteinogenic amino acids.


Rezlow, a five piece band featuring musicians from Kerry and Dublin, Ireland, formed in 2008, and take their influences across a wide range of musical genres. The band describes their sound as melodic-acoustic and alternative rock.
Barry McCarthy, Brendan, Cillian & Conor O'Regan have been playing in bands since their early teenage years, touring the live-music circuit in Southern Ireland and also playing a number of showcase gigs in London.
Their initial collaboration saw Terry put lyrics to the band's three-song demo, featuring 'From Here', 'Run Riot' & 'Red Flag'. The success of this first step encouraged the band to return to the studio and record a full-length 11-song album 'From Here'.


Marking their first release on iconic jazz label Impulse!, Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery is out on March 15th. Ahead of it, we can already hear the first cosmic and effusive 'Summon The Fire'. Here it is.

Le ministère de la Sécurité publique au Québec est le ministère chargé de conseiller le gouvernement provincial en matière de sécurité publique. Il est appelé à diminuer la vulnérabilité des Québécoises et des Québécois aux risques liés notamment à la criminalité et aux sinistres.

Le ministère de la Sécurité publique voit à une application rigoureuse du cadre légal et réglementaire qui le concerne et au sein duquel figurent notamment les lois relatives à la police, aux services correctionnels, aux libérations conditionnelles, à la sécurité civile, à la sécurité incendie et à la sécurité privée.

Historique

La Loi constitutionnelle de 1867 donne le pouvoir relatif à l'administration de la justice ainsi que l'établissement des tribunaux aux provinces. L'établissement du système judiciaire est donné aux provinces dans la section 92(14), ce qui inclut les tribunaux de compétence civile et criminelle ainsi que la procédure pour les différends de juridiction provinciale. Les provinces ont aussi le pouvoir de l'application des règlements locaux et l'infliction des amendes ou pénalités pour faire respecter des lois provinciales. Le ministère de la sécurité publique du Québec est le ministère responsable pour l'exécution de la politique du gouvernement en matière de l'application de la loi et l'opération des systèmes judiciaires et pénitenciers de la province.

Le ministre de la Sécurité publique est aussi chargé de l'application de la Loi sur la police pour assurer que les droits des citoyens sont respectés ainsi que pour maintenir la confiance du public dans le système de justice.

Responsabilité du ministère de la Justice (1965–1986)
Le  entre en vigueur la Loi sur le ministère de la Justice. Le Québec devient ainsi la première province canadienne à se doter d'un ministère de la Justice. Jusqu'alors, la justice était identifiée aux poursuites devant les tribunaux et à la sécurité publique, même si sa mission était, en fait, beaucoup plus étendue. La création d'un ministère de la Justice permet de mettre l'accent sur le rôle de conseiller juridique auprès du gouvernement. Mais surtout, elle marque le coup d'envoi d'une série de réformes qui change peu à peu l'image de l'Administration de la justice en la rendant plus humaine et plus accessible.

À partir de 1970 le ministre de la Justice cumule les fonctions de procureur général et de solliciteur général. À ce titre, il est responsable tant de l'administration de la justice que d'assurer l'ordre et la sécurité publique. En 1983 la loi sur la recherche des causes et des circonstances des décès remplace la Loi sur les coroners.

Ministère du Solliciteur général (1986–1989)
En , afin d'accorder plus d'importance aux questions touchant la sécurité du public, le gouvernement du Québec scinde le ministère de la Justice et crée le ministère du Solliciteur général :
 Herbert Marx, à titre de ministre de la Justice, demeure responsable du système judiciaire.
 Gérard Latulippe, à titre de solliciteur général est dorénavant responsable d'assurer l'ordre et de la sécurité publique.

Les responsabilités du solliciteur général sont alors:
 D'administrer les lois relatives à la police, aider à organiser les activités des corps policiers, rédiger des politiques et des programmes en matière de sécurité publique, de prévention de la criminalité et d'amélioration des méthodes de détection et de répression du crime.
 De former les policiers, développer son expertise de police scientifique et de médecine légale ; assurer la protection de certaines personnalités et la sécurité des principaux édifices gouvernementaux.
 D'assurer la garde des personnes incarcérées dans les centres de détention du Québec, assister les cours de justice et la Commission québécoise des libérations conditionnelles, fournir des services de probation aux personnes contrevenantes, favoriser la prévention de la récidive et la réinsertion sociale des personnes délinquantes.
 De maintenir la paix, l'ordre et la sécurité publique, prévenir le crime et rechercher les auteurs des crimes, en plus de poursuivre l'organisation des services de protection policière chez les Cris de la Baie-James et les Inuits du Nord québécois et d'assurer la sécurité à l'Assemblée nationale.

Quatre organismes relèvent alors du solliciteur général :
 Bureau du coroner
 Commission de police du Québec
 Commission québécoise des libérations conditionnelles
 Régie des permis d'alcool du Québec

Ministère de la Sécurité publique (depuis 1989)

En 1989, le ministère du Solliciteur général devient le ministère de la Sécurité publique. Ce nouveau nom correspond mieux à mission, qui est d'ailleurs élargie à l'occasion du changement de nom. En effet, le Bureau de la protection civile et la Direction générale de la prévention des incendies qui étaient auparavant sous la responsabilité du ministère des Affaires municipales sont intégrés au ministère.

Absorption de la Commission de police du Québec (1990)
Le , la Commission de police du Québec est supprimée par l'entrée en vigueur de la Loi sur l'organisation policière et modifiant la Loi de police et diverses dispositions législatives. La même année, l'Institut de police du Québec est constitué en corporation autonome.

Certaines des responsabilités de la Commission sont dorénavant assumées par le ministère de la Sécurité publique et deux nouveaux organismes sont créés pour se partager les autres responsabilités :
 le Commissaire à la déontologie policière reçoit et examine toute plainte relative à la conduite d'un policier ou d'un constable spécial dans l'exercice de ses fonctions et pouvant constituer un acte dérogatoire au Code de déontologie des policiers du Québec;
 le Comité de déontologie policière entend les demandes de révision logées devant lui par des personnes insatisfaites de la décision du Commissaire à la déontologie policière, lorsque ce dernier rejette une plainte d'un citoyen ou d'une citoyenne à l'égard d'un membre d'un service policier;

Création de la RACJQ (1993)
En , la Régie des loteries et courses du Québec quitte le ministère du Revenu et passe sous la responsabilité du ministre de la Sécurité publique. Elle fusionne avec la Régie des permis d'alcool du Québec pour former la Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux le .

Restructuration administrative (1995–2000)
Mise en place de six directions territoriales en matière correctionnelle et décentralisation de la gestion qui s'adapte ainsi aux réalités territoriales et locales.

Dans le cadre des réductions budgétaires des années 1990 mise en place par le gouvernement Bouchard pour atteindre le déficit zéro, le ministère de la Sécurité publique procède à la fermeture des établissements de détention de Cowansville, Waterloo, Rivière-du-Loup, Saint-Hyacinthe et Joliette en 1996 et 1997.

Entrée en vigueur de la mesure de condamnation à l'emprisonnement avec sursis.

La Loi modifiant la Loi de police et d'autres dispositions législatives adoptée le  et l'entrée en vigueur du Règlement sur les services policiers de base en  ont conduit à la définition de la nature des services policiers que toute municipalité doit dorénavant offrir sur son territoire et donc une révision de l'organisation policière au Québec oblige la Sûreté du Québec à préparer et à redéployer ses effectifs sur ses missions prioritaires.

Le Laboratoire de sciences judiciaires et de médecine légale est constitué en unité autonome de services le .

En , le sud-ouest du Québec est frappé par un épisode de verglas massif qui prive d'électricité  abonnés, répartis dans 700 municipalités. La majeure partie du personnel de la Direction générale de la sécurité et de la prévention, de même que de nombreuses personnes provenant de plusieurs autres unités du ministère et d'autres ministères ont prêté main-forte.

En 1999 la Direction générale de la sécurité et de la prévention est scindée en 2 directions distinctes:
 Une nouvelle Direction générale des affaires policières, de la prévention et des services de sécurité (DGAPPSS) ;
 Une nouvelle Direction générale de la sécurité civile et de la sécurité incendie (DGSCSI).

Rénovation du cadre juridique (2000–2002)
Le cadre juridique des missions du ministère de la Sécurité publique est réformé lorsque la Loi de police est remplacée par la Loi sur la police, adoptée par l'Assemblée nationale le , et que la Loi sur la sécurité incendie est adoptée le lendemain.

 Le , l'École nationale de police du Québec remplace l'Institut de police du Québec.
 Le , l'École nationale des pompiers du Québec est créée.
 Le , la Loi sur l'organisation des services policiers est adoptée à l'Assemblée nationale.
 La mise en place du Service du renseignement criminel du Québec en .

 Le , la Loi sur le système correctionnel du Québec est entrée en vigueur.

OL Reign lose to Washington Spirit, 0-1
Short-rested Spirit spoil Rose Lavelle's OL Reign debut
By Jacob Cristobal@jacobcristobal May 30, 2021, 8:42pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: OL Reign lose to Washington Spirit, 0-1
Nikita Taparia
OL Reign were back in the comforts of home on Sunday as they played host to Washington Spirit. The visitors came into the match having played midweek, defeating Houston Dash 2-1.
Sunday's match marked the OL Reign debut of US international Rose Lavelle, who got the start for Farid's Benstit's side. Unfortunately the hype going into the night was not met with a result in OL Reign's favor as they fell to Spirit, 0-1 on a Megan Rapinoe own goal.
WHAT WORKED: ROSE LAVELLE IS HERE
It might still feel like a dream to a lot of fans, but Rose Lavelle really is an OL Reign player and she got the start and went 64 minutes in her debut. Lavelle came out the gate determined to make an impact in her first match, being at times throughout the first half the conductor in their attack. The moment almost came in the 17th minute where Lavelle dribbled the ball nearly 50 yards down the field, passing to forward Tziarra King and the ball found the back of the net; however, King was ruled offside. In their respective post-match press conferences, Megan Rapinoe, captain Lauren Barnes, and head coach Farid Benstiti all spoke positively of Lavelle's debut, noting that she only had three training sessions with the team under her belt, and that we've yet seen what impact she can make on the field with the team once she's reached full squad integration.
WHAT DIDN'T WORK: POSSESSION, CHANCES, NO GOALS
As exciting as it was to finally see Lavelle in an OL Reign shirt, all of the possession and almost chances for the Reign in the first half, it still didn't result in goals. The sting of the loss coming on Washington's few chances and one of those chances being an own goal isn't fun. And thinking back to Reign's scoreless draw vs. North Carolina to kick off the season, the chance creation in the first half was good. Not finishing any of them is why they lost tonight. OL Reign are very much a team still figuring each other out, but the expectation to punish opponents with multiple goals from multiple chances is what they're striving for with the amount of talent they have right now and who will be joining the club in a few weeks.
Rapinoe and Barnes talked about the standard they're trying to establish with the club and under Benstiti's vision and as much as that standard is still being developed, collectively the team just did not play up to it tonight and to no surprise, it was a frustrating night for OL Reign.
KAREN BARDSLEY INJURY UPDATE
The loss was obviously bad for OL Reign, but made worse by the injury to goalkeeper Karen Bardsley. After a drop kick in the 83rd minute, Bardsley immediately went down and had to be assisted off the field. She was replaced by goalkeeper Ella Dederick for the game's final few minutes. While Benstiti didn't have much of an update in his post-match comments, he did suggest Bardsley's injury might be to her hamstring. Bardsley was seen after the match on crutches with wrapping around her left thigh, but fans will have to wait for an update from the club on the severity of her injury, especially when you consider her selection to Team Great Britain for the Olympics just a few days ago.
Here's hoping it's not a too serious injury and wishing Karen a speedy & full recovery.
"If you don't show up, you get beat." - Megan Rapinoe
In their post-match press conferences, both Rapinoe and Barnes both talked about not being good enough tonight. With Washington coming in on short rest after their midweek match at Houston, both Reign Originals emphasized that the team as a whole should have been able to control the game in all facets and brushed up any notion it was just an off night. "I don't want to chalk it up as just one of those nights for us. We don't get those nights yet. We're not a good enough team to be able to leave to the soccer gods. We have to be able to make ourselves play better. We have to understand the game better as a team and individually that every day we come out and we're holding at least a very certain level and can't drop below that," said Rapinoe.
OL Reign hits the road for their next match, as they travel across the country to face Gotham FC on Saturday, June 5. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 PM PT and will be broadcast on Paramount+ for US viewers, while international viewers can catch the broadcast on twitch.
