In today's interconnected world, few homes have less than four Internet-connected devices online at the same time. Many homes have twice that. You need a router that can keep up with all the traffic. Let's take a look at these two tri-band models from NETGEAR and ASUS to see which one will be the best for you.
The NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 is a powerful, fast router well worth the investment because it's got hardware and software that will keep it current for a few years to come. It has two 5GHz radios and one 2.4GHz radio, and it's compatible with 802.11 b/g/n and a/n/ac standards. This means all your old and new wireless devices can use it to connect to the Internet.
Let's be a little more specific about that. The Nighthawk has WPA/WPA2-PSK Wi-Fi Protected Access, but not WEP. Wireless devices older than those manufactured in 2004 may have trouble using it if they are WEP only.
Besides the wireless connections, the Nighthawk has 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports on its back as well as one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0. The USB 2.0 is perfect for plugging in a printer so all the computers and tablets in your home can print to it wirelessly.
The 3.0 port transfers data ten times faster than the 2.0 port, ideal for connecting an external hard drive for backing up or sharing files over the network. Plus, using the USB 3.0 port doesn't slow down the traffic over either radio. The included ReadySHARE Vault app runs automatic backups for Windows PCs in your home.
You can make use of the FTP server and stream video and music to TVs and game consoles with DLNA. Any device you want to add to the network doesn't need the password if they have WPS, the one-button push system, to link them. Phones can simply scan the QR code to connect.
For persons who want to protect their Internet traffic from prying eyes, the Nighthawk has an OpenVPN server. The powerful quad-core 802.11ac radio keeps up with demand. The SmartConnect feature automatically assigns devices to the fastest available of the two 5GHz channels.
The six antennas help the Wi-Fi signal penetrate throughout large homes. You can set up the Guest Network so you don't have to share your password with visitors. They will have their own separate access and won't be mixed in with your home network.
Finally, when you pull this router out of the box to set it up for first-time use, the NETGEAR Genie app makes it truly simple and easy. If you want to make configuration changes later, the app can do those for you. It also gives you remote access. You don't need a computer at all.
ASUS released the RT-AC3200 to compete with the NETGEAR Nighthawk X6. When it was first released, the original firmware was buggy and needed to be updated to improve the router's performance. One problem it had was with its implementation of SmartConnect, the software that assigns each device to a channel depending on load. Early owners had to disable this feature because the router kept dropping connections.
But the RT-AC3200 has great features even though it had problems in the beginning. For one, instead of just OpenVPN, it also supports PPTP servers. It comes with Trend Micro's network security package that includes privacy protection and parental controls. If you have an infected device detected on your network, this software isolates it so the problem won't spread.
Other software in the router includes AiCloud that lets you plug in a USB drive and access its files wirelessly. This means you can download and stream to phones, tablets, your Roku, and more.
Like the Nighthawk X6, you can also plug a printer into the USB 2.0 port and print to it over the network. There are also 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the router for the devices you want to hardwire into the network. And of course, the RT-AC3200 is compatible with 802.11 ac/n/g/a/b devices for wireless connections.
Either one of these two routers would be a worthwhile upgrade to an older network router. Either one would be future-proof for a few years.
For overall ease and flexibility of use, the NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 takes the prize. The only downside is that there is a potential problem with connecting very old devices that don't support WPA encryption. If you don't have anything older than 2004 that needs a Wi-Fi connection, this may be the best router for you.
The ASUS RT-AC3200 has the ability to connect using WEP, but that would potentially degrade the security of your whole network. It does offer a PPTP VPN server and explicitly supports Apple Time Machine backups, not just Windows PCs. The early release problems still haunt this router, but if you aren't put off by having to upgrade the firmware right out of the box, you could save money by purchasing this one.

The Mental Wellness Society an organization at the Syracuse University College of Law. The goal of our organization is to eliminate the stigma associated with mental health. We want the student body to know that there are friendly faces at school that can point them in the right direction for whatever kind of help is needed. Mental health and overall wellness are important issues that should not be neglected. We do not want anybody to feel like they are dealing with anything alone during their time at SUCOL.
This will be our second race of this school year. Our Fall race was a hit, so we figured we would give the people what they want and host a Spring race! So many people bond over running and other outdoor activities. Hosting a run/walk is a great way to motivate people to get out of the library, clear their minds, and spend some time outside with friends. The event is open to everyone, SUCOL student or not. We just want people to come out and have a good time!
Additionally, this time we will be donating a portion of the race proceeds to Tackle ALS. Tackle ALS is a very meaningful cause dedicated to making a difference for individuals living with ALS. 100% of the donations made to Tackle ALS go towards research to try and find the cures for ALS, as well as more effective treatments.


How to remove and replace your HTC One X display.
The HTX One X and its variants the One XL, One XT, One XC and One X+ are among the more difficult handsets to repair. While using a rear housing that fits perfectly around the main assembly helps these phones to be visually appealing it also makes disassembly not only challenging but also risky. This repair is not recommended for those without a substantial amount of mechanical experience. You can purchase replacement screens through the links below. You will want to disassemble your One X first to determine whether you have the LCD with a green flex cable or the one that is completely yellow. I have included a link to the lens which is available by itself. However replacing both is recommended as it is difficult to remove the LCD without breaking it.
Update: The green flex LCD appears to be backward compatible so you can order this one for all HTC One X repairs.
In these videos we demonstrate the full disassembly and reassembly required for replacing a broken HTC One X screen. While there may be an option to purchase the touchscreen separately it this is not recommended for several reasons. In most cases the LCD will be damaged during removal due to the strength of the adhesive which holds it in place. Since the LCD is installed on top of the digitizer flex cable you must remove both in order to complete this repair. On the other hand if your LCD is broken you may be able to salvage your original digitizer by removing it without damage.
The first step in disassembling your HTC One X is one of the most difficult. Several clips must be released by prying along the left and right hand sides of the screen. Next you will need to carefully pry along the bottom edge of the phone and release a few tabs which tuck inside of the rear housing. Once all tabs and clips have been released you can then lift the bottom end of the assembly out of the rear housing and slide it downwards as it is wedged in from the top end of the phone.
You replacement screen should have three plastic pieces which are stuck directly underneath where the home, back and settings menu are on the lens. Failure to install these plastic pieces will prevent your buttons from illuminating. Be very careful when peeling back the microphone flex cable at the bottom as it is also very easy to damage. If you have any questions about this HTC One X repair please post them in the comments section below.
recently i got my new replacement for htc one x. i did a test like you done for the digitizer but the screen just gone blank. the battery was fully charged. is it because the digitizer was damaged or maybe there are different digitizer version?
hope you can help me. I can't backup my data too. at least i can backup them.
If the screen is blank I would suspect a damaged or defective LCD. Was your old one working at all?
nope. not working at all. turning on and playing with the volume and power button is all i can do. only my display or the digitizer are the problem. did try just now to connect some possible connection but still no luck. i think so too the lcd was damaged. either going to look for another digitizer or just try my luck again..
*any way just to scrap out the data without fixing the display?

"Not any one play is precious. You do the best you can in each situation as it comes to you. No writer is made of one play. If they are, they're not very good writers."
Frederick Wiseman by Nicholas Elliott
Eduardo Machado. © 1989 by Dawn Derrick.
Eduardo Machado is a playwright in motion, the reflection of a life in motion. Born in Cuba, his family fled to Miami when he was seven, and then moved on to Los Angeles where they began their new life. Eduardo kept moving: beyond the conservatism of his upbringing, beyond the parochialism of a single culture, beyond the confines of a single form of theatrical expression. He is simultaneously writing plays for HBO and CBS, while two of his earlier plays, Stevie Wants to Play the Blues and Once Removed , are opening in Los Angeles and San Francisco this winter. Today, he is in a coffee shop on Amsterdam Avenue, and for a moment we talk not about where he is going, but where he has come from.
Stuart Spencer Are you a Cuban or an American? (pause) Let's start with the tough ones.
Eduardo Machado I'm a Cuban-American. A couple years ago I would have said I was a Cuban, but I've begun to accept the fact that I haven't been there in 30 years. It was really hard to accept that fact, but I have begun to accept it. I'm not Hispanic, because that term puts all Spanish people under the same ethnic group, and they're all very different. It's derogatory. I call it "his-panic"—you know, like "he-panicked"—the white man panicked. But I'm not an American, because I speak Spanish a lot of the time, and I don't vote. I'm not an American citizen.
SS What is your status?
EM A resident, a legal resident. I have been for 30 years.
SS Why haven't you become a citizen?
EM I never could. I mean, I'm actually thinking about doing it now. But I could never believe that I was living here. It took 30 years to realize that.
SS That you were not going back.
EM That I was not going back.
SS If something enormous changed in Cuba …
EM I wouldn't want to live there now.
SS What's the difference between Cubans and other Hispanics?
EM They're more greedy. Very capitalistic. They're more like Americans in their thinking. That's why they've done so well here. And racially diverse—blacks, Chinese, you name it. It's like a port town, Cuba. It always has been.
SS Tell me about the circumstances of your family's leaving Cuba.
EM Under Communism they got all their businesses taken away from them, and they thought they better run.
SS How old were you?
EM I was seven. We went to Miami for a year. And then we went to Los Angeles because my father couldn't find work in Miami.
SS Can you pinpoint the moment at which you realized that you were not going to go back?
EM Therapy. About a year ago. I just realized that I would never fit in there, that I fit much more into the New York theatrical community, that that's who I am. But sometimes I really think I'm never going to live anywhere. I never move into some place and think, "Oh, this is my house"—I never have. Not since Cuba.
SS Your plays portray, to me, a decadent, self-indulgent Cuba in which the wealthy lead empty, miserable lives and the poor suffer in silent anger. Given this view, why such anger at what Castro has done? Didn't he offer a solution to that?
EM No. I mean, at the moment he did offer a solution to that, but now he has turned into the same thing as Batista, only worse. There's less freedom now than there was under Batista. You know, at least during Batista you could, if you had money, be shallow and decadent; now you can't even do that. I just think that he didn't keep his promise.
SS Which was?
EM To have a democratic country. Yeah, he turned on the people who put him into power almost immediately. He wanted Cuba to be his own playground, serfdom—and that's what it is. I hated him when I was little 'cause I got thrown out, and I didn't know why. But as I got older—by the time I was writing the plays—I hated him because he didn't keep his promise. Not because he kicked the United States out. I think that's one of the smarter things he did, you know.
SS Why?
EM Because the United States used Cuba like it was a douche bag. (laughter) It was like Vegas. A place to go and gamble. It was run by Americans. Batista was completely into the American mob. It was the mob's playland.
SS If Castro invited you down as, say, a visiting playwright, or if he asked you to …
EM He has invited me as a visiting playwright to the festival they have every year in December. No, I would never go.
SS Why not?
EM Because I would never let myself be used, by either side. If I went to Cuba, I'd go on my own. I don't want them to tell me how the revolution worked, because I know it didn't. And I don't want the Cubans here to tell me how Batista worked, because I know it didn't.
SS The "other side" that you're referring to is the right-wing here in the U.S.
EM They're the same coin but a different side. They want Cuba to be a place where I wouldn't want to go to. Miami's a place I haven't been to since I was 19. The same kind of fascistic, repressive environment that I have no wish to be any part of. You can never go home again, but what the guy forgot to say was, you sometimes don't want to go home again. (laughter) I've decided that I don't want to ever go home again. I want to visit … but that's different.
SS What kind of effects have the right-wing Cubans had on you?
EM Once they left a series of death threats on my answering machine. And when they did A Burning Beach at LATC, the theatre held a discussion afterwards. They said that I was a revisionist and a Communist. They wanted to know where I was, and I went and hid in the basement. They scare me. In Miami there was some of the most slanderous kind of press I've ever read—it was frightening. The right-wing told the actors in the company of Faviola that if they did the play there, they would picket. Now, I should say, that this might have been done by my own family; might have been. I could never quite figure it out. Anyway, I just don't want to have anything to do with them. I'm not interested in them seeing my plays, either. What's strange is that a lot of Cubans go to the plays in New York and they really like them. But there's a different kind of Cuban in New York than there is in Miami.
SS More assimilated?
EM More liberal-minded. We went to Connecticut, to this little town where there is this Cuban club, to perform Broken Eggs . We went there because I wanted to have a pre-Miami test. In the first act, there was not one laugh; there was not one sound from those people. Then in the second act they started laughing. At the end they loved it, they made dinner for us. I asked the president of the club, because I thought he'd know what everybody was thinking. He said, "At first we were very insulted and mad that the characters were being portrayed this way. But by the end we all feel like she does, like a person who can never quite fit in. And we had to admit to ourselves that you were saying the truth." Well, they're a little bit ahead of the people in Miami who apparently said, in the discussions, that Cubans don't want to go back to Cuba, and what's wrong with me?
SS It sounds like it's just as well your family left Miami.
EM My brother told me that he hates my father for a lot of things, but he's grateful, to the day he dies, that he got us out of Miami. He told me that.
SS Sexuality and politics are inextricably linked in your work. Particularly homosexuality is often a key to understanding a character's political rebellion.
EM Yeah … there's always somebody in my plays who's the outsider looking in. And when you don't fit into the family structure, you're the outsider. And the more fascistic a country is, the more that it wants to punish the outsider. So in a country as fascistic and as macho as Cuba was, homosexuals were those who had to be punished. And women also, who are one step above homosexuals.
SS It always interests me why an artist like yourself who is inspired by political concerns doesn't ever consider running for political office. Have you ever thought about that?
EM No.
EM I don't believe that that's the way that you can make a difference in people's lives. I think the media is the best way to reach people—to trick them.
SS Are you part of that manipulation with your plays?
EM Sure. The minute you write a play you're part of the media, and you're part of the manipulation. The minute you let your picture be in Time magazine as one of the "New Hispanics," you're a part of the whole hype. You take the hype, because it's your only way in.
SS Is there something inherently wrong with that? Or is it only wrong depending on the ends?
EM It's got nothing to do with art whatsoever, and you have to always keep that clear in your mind. And the more you deal with the mass media, which make theater seem clean and holy, the more you realize how little it has to do with expressing yourself, or any of the reasons why you started being in the arts anyway.
SS If it doesn't have anything to do with art, what does it have to do with?
EM Politics.
SS Money?
EM It has to do with money, yeah. But I will only go so far in portraying the kind of image they want of Latin people. And if they want to go past that point, I can't go with them. I just won't.
SS And do they want to?
EM Oh, they always do.
SS What does the media want?
EM To perceive Latin people as menial workers, with some sort of underground element. Not to see people as individuals, to always see people in terms of their racial group. That's who you're fighting all the time; that's who you're fighting in theater, as well. That was one of the things I appreciated about working at Ensemble Studio Theatre, the place that did my first plays. Ensemble was without prejudice. It was really a home, with all the problems that a home has, but I felt protected in the writing group that we had. I think all these writers came out of it, that has to be the reason. We did make a certain kind of commitment that I don't find anywhere anymore. I couldn't have done it without them. I would have gotten too scared. So it gave me a certain attitude, that you just keep going and you don't care, which is a good attitude, that you just keep writing. Not any one play is precious. You do the best you can in each situation as it comes to you. No writer is made of one play. If they are, they're not very good writers. And you just keep going. That I learned there.
SS What is the job of the playwright?
EM It's the duty of the playwright to sneak in as many effronteries as he can. If you act completely effrontive to people, they'll never go listen. So you gotta sneak it past them. In the second act, I let 'em have it, and they sometimes don't forgive me for it, and sometimes they do. Sometimes I'll let 'em have it from the beginning, like in Don Juan in New York , then they can't handle it.
SS So if you start your play with a naked man dancing onstage, selling his body …
EM Then you're turning off 90% of the audience. But if you start a play with a man pretending to be a woman who looks like a really nice Oriental, and halfway through you show the audience his pecker, then you're getting their sensationalist fervor going, and they can handle it. And it's just as simple as that.
SS Like reading The Enquirer .
EM Right, right. If you just boldly show them something that you've seen out in life, they think it's unreal and they can't take it. The more real life gets onstage, the more unreal it appears to people. I find that fascinating. Of course I know that I'm intolerant of things too.
SS Like what?
EM I'm intolerant of middle-class life. I walk out of plays that I feel are catering to the audience, telling them that they're really good, and they don't have to change anything. I don't know how you can live in the world right now and think that you don't have to change anything, and that we are really good. We're all really bad, we've really failed. We've really, really failed, and we're failing as we speak.
SS What have we failed to do?
EM This is a society in which people are not taken care of, where people get taken care of less and less. We've polluted the earth to the point where we might completely fuck it up. And on and on. Nothing we've done is right, so why should we act like we're do-gooders? I hate people who think they're good and write about good people, because I've met people who are trying to be good, but I've never met a good person.
SS Are those the people that you write about?
EM Some of them are trying to be good; some of them are trying to be bad. They're all trying, and they don't have any solutions. That's what I hate the most, is a play that gives you a solution, because I don't think there are any.
SS Take your Don Juan , for example. Is that character trying to be good?
EM No, that character's trying to destroy himself. But himself, and one has the right to destroy oneself. I think that what I wanted to say in that play is: sometimes people went sexually over their limit, and at the same time, this disease happened. I was tired of all these plays where everybody was very proper and only did it once and then got AIDS. It's just not the whole truth. The whole truth is that people were real sluts. So what? And they took it beyond the boundary. So what? But people were always talking about "Oh, that poor person, he was very good and only slept around once, and he caught it." No, you're just as good if you're a slut, and you shouldn't die if you're a slut. And somebody needs to say that.
SS So the moral issue is not whether one is promiscuous or not.
EM The moral issue is, how do you behave in the relationships that you do have. I used to think that you went to heaven if you really put out in bed. I really did. (laughter) For a lot of years. And that might be considered "promiscuous." And it might be self-destructive. It was probably all those things. But it might also have been generous, you know. And I think a lot of people thought like that, and now we're all denying that that's what we thought. I mean, that's what the '70s were all about. And I liked a lot of it. And I'd much rather be young then than young now. And it didn't kill me. And it didn't hurt me. It hurt, but it made me somebody who I want to be.

Banca IFIS: the first nine months of 2017 saw positive and constantly improving indicators. Confirmed the Group's profitability targets.
Total Own Funds Ratio2: 17,14% (15,83% at 1 January 2017).
Mestre (Venice), 9 November 2017 – The Board of Directors of Banca IFIS met today under the chairmanship of Sebastien Egon Fürstenberg and approved the Group's interim financial report for the first nine months of 2017.
We acted swiftly and resolutely to position the Bank on sustainable growth paths. The market scenario is challenging, and interest rates at zero are not helping. Competing in this environment requires significant efforts on the part of all the Group's employees", said Giovanni Bossi, Banca IFIS's CEO. "This commitment is present and leverages the skills of the resources across the various businesses, but requires considerable flexibility in tackling new targets as well as repositioning ourselves in the market—all without losing sight of the goals for the period and of the three-year strategic plan. Based on the results achieved, I can say that we respected the roadmap for the merger of the former Interbanca Group which is now a completed process. Now we can focus on growth and development". The CEO added that "we are going to accelerate our digital growth: in the last part of the year, we will launch two portals dedicated to our two types of customers, businesses and households.

So you met someone, and you want to stay in touch with that person, what medium would you want to use? Phone…yep. Skype…maybe. Facebook…guaranteed!
Almost everyone is on Facebook, and social media in general. Facebook has been getting people to sign up for accounts since it was first launched and it's not slowing down. Zuckerberg really planted a bomb in the internet and it exploded everywhere. There are also many other popular sites such as Twitter, and Instagram with billions of users worldwide.
I bet almost 80% or more of the people reading this article have accounts in different social networking sites. Just take a chance and ask five people if they have a social media account. You should expect 4 out of 5, or even 5 out of 5 to answer yes. It wouldn't be that surprising.
Social media connects people together better than websites, this is a fact. And in doing so this develops and creates a community of people, a huge community.
That's why there are people who are glued to social media, or should I say, addicted to it. This became a new strategy for marketing. There are dozens of things that you can get through Facebook and other media accounts. I myself got some software, a car and even my dental clinic from Facebook! That's why with every online business it's essential to be involved with social media in some way.
The large sum of users is the biggest factor. If you decide to launch a social media account for your marketing strategy, it is a smart move. You will get thousands of people as prospect customers, and that is what you need, a market.
This is the advantage social media has on websites, it's tough to get traffic and visitors. But it is a lot easier on social media. Customers can follow you and connect with you for long periods of time. Posting links of your website to social media accounts is the best strategy for people to find you and get the visitors and traffic that you want and need.
Branding is your promise to your visitors. Making it visible to social media sites improves your brand. People can see your latest news and business whereabouts. You can easily share good feedback and take time to consider suggestions.
Keeping it your brand open increases the customers trust and that may lead to more sales.
Websites are interactive, but social media promises more than that. You have comment boxes on your site, which are very helpful. But I find it's easier to communicate using Facebook. They have post sections and a private message tools. They supply notifications of incoming messages, and let you reply to messages in a blink of an eye.
A social media account can be hard to manage if you have hundreds of inquiries, but the good news is you can answer them as quick as possible. On a website, people often get their responses and queries by email. But if you think about it, more people open their social media accounts before opening emails.
Setting up a social media account is not near as complicated as launching a website, you can even open one using your smartphone. You can also share pictures and videos easily, and the visitors can view them in real time. You can increase the popularity of your products and services using this method alone.
And because of the fact that almost everyone is on it, it's easy for people to look at your account to see what you have to offer. It's easy to send and receive messages. They can also tag and link to their friends more quickly if they wish to do so.
The familiarity of people in these communities creates more trust and better communication which benefits both the owner and the customer.
Linking and posting your latest news from your website to your social media account drives traffic.
You may also join groups or create pages that are related to your business, this makes you more visible to others resulting in more visitors.
Traffic increases will lead to better rankings and probability of more profits.
This is the best part. It is free to open social media accounts! Even if you choose to run advertisements on these sites it's much cheaper than advertising with the search engines. There aren't too many things in this world that are free. But social media accounts are, and will always be.
Social media is a way to connect with people. It is just as important as having website comments and interaction. And in the years that social media has existed, it has proven that its done its job.
I hope this article demonstrated some good points in why utilizing socila media with any online venture is so important! If you have any questions or want to share how social media has helped your online business please use the comment box below.


Just few momenst ago I had a really dodgy issue with loggin to newly installed ESXi6.5.
I deployed it few days ago, after instalation I logged in by copying password to the VMware console from KeePass application – logged in to that box, configured SSH connectivity and done some additinal configuration. After that connected via PuTTY as well.
I thought that he we have some sort of different KeePass DB versions – but no.
I was not able to log in either! So I tried not to copy, but instead to type the password in the form field – same failure.
So, I went to the server room, and tried to log in directly to ESXi using KVM – and guess what? 🙂 All went well! So I came back to my desk, tried to log in by copy/paste credentials from KeePass – instant success!
Anyone able to help in resolving the "(ES)X Files" riddle?

Q: Howto set correct Index for SQL join with where clause i have searched google for a while but i don't find a answer that solves my "Problem".
I have 3 Exampletables with the follwing structure.
Customer:

*

*CustomerId

*FirstName

*LastName

*Gender

*IsDeleted

Invoice:

*

*InvoiceId

*CustomerId

*Amount

*Positions

*IsValid

InvoicePos:

*

*InvoicePosId

*InvoiceId

*PosName

*IsPaid

Now i'd like to join them with the following Query.
SELECT T1.FirstName,
       T1.LastName,
       T2.Amount,
       T3.PosName
FROM Customer AS T1
     JOIN Invoice AS T2 ON T1.CustomerId = T2.CustomerId
     JOIN InvoicePos AS T3 ON T2.InvoiceId = T3.InvoiceId
WHERE T1.FirstName = 'A'
  AND T1.LastName = 'B'
  AND T2.Positions = 3
  AND T3.IsPaid = 1;

For table Customer i have a Index for FirstName, LastName, CustomerId
For InvoicePos i have a Index for IsPaid, InvoiceId, InvoicePosId
But what Index should i use for Table Invoice?

A: You can also run the query optimizer on your query and SQL will give you the best indexes to apply and also show you the % performance increase.

A: For only this exact query putting some index on Table2/Invoice with CustomerId, Positions would be ideal.
Although generally the following indices would make sense:
Customer:
  unique index on CustomerId
  index on LastName, FirstName
Invoice:
  unique index on InvoiceId
  index on CustomerId
InvoicePos:
  unique index on InvoicePosId
  unique index on InvoiceId, InvoiceId
  index on IsPaid, InvoiceId  (for your scenario)

A: use these indexes :
Create Index IX__Customer_001 on Customer (CustomerId,FirstName,LastName)
Create Index IX__Invoice_001 on Invoice (CustomerId,InvoiceId,Positions) include (Amount)
Create Index IX__InvoicePos_001 on InvoicePos (InvoiceId,IsPaid) include (PosName)

you must use the fields that used only as select columns on include Clause , and put predicates on the key columns

A: My Mainproblem is to understand in which order the Query is resolved.
There are some Indexs on the AI-Columns (CostumerId, InvoiceId, InvoicePosId).
The Index on Table 1 (Firstname, Lastname, CostumerId) makes sense because it filters the names an then joins with the Invoicetable.
But the second Index is which is not clear for me.

A: For this query:
SELECT T1.FirstName, T1.LastName, T2.Amount, T3.PosName
FROM Customer T1 JOIN
     Invoice T2
     ON T1.CustomerId = T2.CustomerId JOIN
     InvoicePos T3
     ON T2.InvoiceId = T3.InvoiceId
WHERE T1.FirstName = 'A' AND
      T1.LastName = 'B' AND
      T2.Positions = 3 AND
      T3.IsPaid = 1;

I would recommend the following indexes:

*

*Customer(FirstName, LastName, CustomerId)

*Invoice(CustomerId, InvoiceId, Positions, Amount)

*InvoicePost(InvoiceId, IsPaid, PosName).

First, these are covering indexes for your query.  So, only the indexes are needed.  If you have additional columns in the SELECT, you can remove the SELECT-only columns from the indexes.
The idea is to start with the most selective WHERE conditions.  I am guessing that the name restrictions are the most restrictive.  Hence, the indexing starts on Customer and uses the WHERE conditions.  Then, additional columns from ON and SELECT clauses are added.
For the remaining tables, the JOIN columns are the first keys in the index, followed by WHERE and SELECT columns.

Poetic Soul: Tanaya Winder
For as long as I could remember, poetry was one of my creative outlets. As a native youth, I was able to put my feelings, dreams, and struggles into poetic form inside my beat-up notebook. While I didn't pursue poetry professionally, I can say that I write for a living.
Fast forward about a decade. Fate turned me onto Tanaya Winder, a well-known and established poet, public speaker, writer, artist, and educator. And there would still be more to add to describe Winder fully. Hailing from the Duckwater Shoshone, Southern Ute, Pyramid Lake Paiute, and Navajo tribes, she's undoubtedly a Jill of all trades. She's independent and a trailblazer. She started the first and only all-Native American artist management company, Dream Warriors, which is comprised of herself and hip-hop artists Frank Waln, Tall Paul, and Mic Jordan, to name a few. Winder is the director of the University of Colorado Boulder's Upward Bound Program (CUUB) and a leader who has started a significant number of organizations, projects, and movements. But her first love is poetry.
Tanaya Winder. Photo: Viki Eagle/Native Max
The more I learned about Winder; there was more to admire: her hard-work and humility aside from the fact that her purpose is to help heal her people through her talents. Her poetry is an example of that. She travels the world and shares her works through performances and sells her books, caulk full of inspirational -and heartbreaking- content. I'm glad to call her a mentor and sister.
We booked her for our April issue, also known as the Poetry Issue, and coordinated a photo shoot in Denver, CO. She was kind enough to share an exclusive new piece with us, which you'll be able to read in our "Until Later" section.
When did you get involved in poetry?
I started writing poetry during my senior year of high school. After that, in college I would take poetry classes for my "fun classes," but it wouldn't be until the end of my sophomore year that I decided I'd be an English major and began writing more seriously. After that, I pursued a Master's of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of New Mexico.
When did you start taking writing seriously?
I started writing most seriously in grad school because the goal of grad school is to complete a manuscript.
What inspires your works?
I'd say life and love inspire my poetry and work. I love seeing the way everything is connected and related. I learn a lot from all of my travels and trips to different places and communities. I put those lessons into the work and poetry.
Do you remember your first serious poem or piece?
I can't remember what my first serious poem was. Poems come to me all the time, and I'm always writing, so it's hard to remember the first.
Was writing poetry therapeutic? How did it help?
Writing is therapeutic. Writing is healing to me. You get to travel back in time to revisit specific memories and events and render new situations and emotions and give things new meaning
Who is a fellow indigenous poet you look up to?
My fave native poet is Joy Harjo. She's amazing
Was there a poem that inspired you?
Joy Harjo's "I Give You Back."
What is your advice to youth who are interested in poetry?
Keep following your heart. If your soul and spirit call you to write, honor that call. Each of you has a gift, a purpose, and a voice; and that voice deserves to be shared. You never know if the words you share might help heal another person so write every word you ever needed.
Read Tanaya Winder's exclusive poem "For Girls and Women On Fire":
For Girls and Women on Fire
and breaks you thought were heartaches was really Creator
helping you dodge a massive bullet destined for danger, rupture,
and the darkness you crawled your way out of long ago.
So let go.
Let go of anything that didn't work out the way you wanted.
Because you know this, deep in your heart of hearts, you know:
you were born from a line of fierce women on fire,
who shine light in the darkest of places, and heal those in need.
And if people are afraid of you
(let them be afraid)
they should be.
Because you are powerful beyond containment;
the kind of free people dream of embodying
and everything is coming together the way it was always destined.
Because you are destined for greatness
and anything you ever set your mind to,
you looked yourself in the mirror and said
"We are going to do this."
And you did.
You did do it. So don't stop now.
Because you are meant to
keep all of the promises you ever made to yourself.
-Tanaya Winder

Brugmansia arborea, the angel's trumpet, is a species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae. The IUCN has classed Brugmansia arborea as Extinct in the Wild.

Description
Brugmansia arborea is an evergreen shrub or small tree reaching up to  in height. The ovate leaves have coarsely toothed margins when in their best condition. The leaves, flower stalks, fruit, and especially the young shoots are covered with fine velvety white down.  Flowers are strongly fragrant,  trumpet-shaped, nodding to sub-horizontal, white to ivory-white or cream. At  long, the flowers are the shortest of all Brugmansia. Flowers are produced almost continuously in smaller quantities, unlike many other Brugmansia that flower in larger flushes. The ovoid fruit have an average length of  and width of . The calyx is slit along one side and is very long in relation to the flower, and in this respect is often used as a quick check to verify correct identification. With a few exceptions, the Green Calyx usually reaches down almost all the way to the flower corolla's mouth.

Taxonomy

In his 1753 Species Plantarum, Carl Linnaeus published Datura arborea using as his type specimen a drawing by Louis Feuillée from 1714 with name Stramonioides arboreum, oblongo et integro folio, fructu laevi, vulgo Flori pondio. Then Robert Sweet, in his 1818 Hortus Suburbanus Londinensis, published the modern version of the name to be in the separate genus of Brugmansia. Since then, many authors have published many different plants with one of those names, causing much confusion in the taxonomy of these plants. "Datura arborea" has many times been incorrectly used for almost any white-flowered Brugmansia plant, even in scientific literature.

Distribution and habitat
They are native to the Andes mountains of southern Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, western Bolivia, and northern Chile. As the hardiest of all Brugmansia species in regards to both cold and drought, they are often found in the drier valleys of the Andes, in areas with an annual rainfall of . Occurring at elevations of 2000 to 3000 m, they often receive light frosts.

Ecology
Brugmansia arborea are usually pollinated by moths. They are attracted by the white color of the flowers and their fragrance that gets stronger in the evenings.

The species is invasive in New Caledonia.

1993 PG 1h 54m Blu-ray / DVD
In this fact-based drama about the triumph of the human spirit, scrawny high schooler Rudy Ruettiger (Sean Astin) dreams of playing football at Notre Dame. But his father (Ned Beatty) can't afford to send him, so he ends up at a college across the street instead. Undaunted, Rudy eventually transfers to Notre Dame, where he takes on duties assisting the groundskeeper (Charles S. Dutton) and joins the school's practice squad.

PG - Some material may not be suitable for children. Parents urged to give parental guidance. May contain some material parents might not like for their young children.
Common Sense rating OK for kids 11+
Parents need to know that Rudy includes some scenes of bitter disappointment and brutality on the football field (including bloody wounds and bruises) that might be inappropriate for younger or more sensitive kids. Expect some rough language ("s--t" and "ass" mostly), plus some drinking (Rudy gets drunk enough to reveal information that gets him kicked off the booster squad). A fiery plant explosion kills Rudy's best friend. The movie extols the virtues of perseverance and hard work; Rudy overcomes seemingly impossible odds to achieve his goal.
In exchange for free tutoring, the outgoing Rudy approaches pretty college girls to introduce to his shy tutor.
A fiery plant explosion kills Rudy's best friend. When Rudy wins a place on the Notre Dame prep team, all his practice time is spent hitting other teammates as hard as he can. The harder he plays, the more his teammates and coaches respect him. The players are covered with bleeding wounds and bruises from their exertions.
"Bullsh--t," "ass," "crap," "goddamn," and "pissed off." A coach promises to "beat the s--t out of" guys trying out for the team. A character is called a "pussy."
Persistence, sacrifice, and hard work pay off: Rudy overcomes dyslexia and spends two years at junior college to gain acceptance into Notre Dame and onto the "prep" squad of the football team, guys who help the actual players in practice.
At a bar, Rudy gets drunk enough to reveal information that gets him kicked off the booster squad. Other scenes in bars.
