Q: Why Clustered Index Scan in this query? This query (SQL2012) execution plan shows me that Clustered Index Scan used in the internal sub-query on PK index:
  SELECT n3.id as node_id,x.id as id,
  (select xv.value from xv
  --with(forceseek)
  where xv.id=x.id) as [value]
  FROM x
  INNER JOIN n3
  ON x.[obj_id]=n3.id
  AND n3.parent_id = '975422E0-5630-4545-8CF7-062D7DF72B6B'

The tables x and xv are master->details tables.
When I use hint forceseek then it shows Clustered Index Seek and query executes fast.
Why there is Scan instead of Seek?
How to change the query to have Index Seek without the hint FORCESEEK?

--Update statistics xv with fullscan

A: I suspect the statistics of xv table might be out of date. Update the statistics of xv and try running the query again.
Update statistics xv with fullscan

Update :
After looking at the data setup and query, For the given parent_id input  it is very clear that all the records in both x and xv match so it is obvious that optimizer chooses index scan instead of seek because it has fetch all the records from both x and xv table
Also the number of records is less so optimizer will prefer scan instead of seek

Spaces on a private double drive available for daily rental.Ideal for match days. 5 minute walk from Anfield and 5 minutes walk from Goodison park.
Good place to park ideal location.
This was the second time using Ian's drive, easy 5 star, great communication and location. Whenever we can catch a game we will be back!!
quite hard to find as numbers of properties are not in numerical order. parking is also by a traffic light and is hard to get out. on the plus side, it is close to the ground. would definitely use the space again if I visit Anfield again.
Great space! Perfect for either Anfield or Goodison Park. Great communication, no bother with the traffic or getting out of the space after the game. I was a little worried about the size of the drive as one of the reviews suggested that it's not suitable for two cars is a 4x4 - I have an ML and there were no issues whatsoever! Will definitely book again when returning to Liverpool!

My Record column today makes the case for light rail in Waterloo Region, with a slightly different approach than last year's one:
A single line of built-up areas is easily seen in Waterloo Region satellite imagery — this is the Central Transit Corridor. The planned light rail line and the express bus line to Cambridge would connect four downtowns, the university district, three major commercial areas, and many corporate and industrial campuses — along with a quickly growing supply of housing. In the context of a redesigned bus network and strong planning policy, LRT (light rail transit) is the infrastructure necessary to manage growth and provide for the region's economic and environmental health.
Most of the tremendous post-war growth here has been suburban, but the area near the LRT route has still grown by 50% or more since 1955 — the last year of interurban trains. If that was it, light rail wouldn't make sense. But the plan looks to 2031, and the province projects more than 200,000 new residents by then. The Region's new Official Plan implements provincial targets of 40% of growth occurring in the urban cores. This will more than double the population and jobs along the Central Transit Corridor. A light rail system will both help attract this development to the downtowns, and handle the resulting demand for transit along the spine of our region. It would also be a more environmentally and financially sound approach than ramming wider roadways and more parking into our downtowns.
Many have called for more buses instead of rail. But this isn't either-or. In fact, the recently approved Regional Transportation Master Plan calls for a dramatic ramping up of the Grand River Transit budget — tripling per-capita funding within twenty years. The plan calls for five new express bus routes in the next five years to service other major corridors, for more frequent and later service, and a redesign of bus routes to a more grid-like network to connect with the light rail and the express routes.
However, simply more buses won't work in the Central Transit Corridor. Already, each direction of King Street between Waterloo and Kitchener sees 12-15 iXpress and Route 7 mainline buses an hour. Which is great for riders now. But when the population and jobs more than double, so will transit ridership — or actually more without road expansion. With buses as they are now, 20-30 buses an hour is essentially the limit. Past that point they bunch together and form jams at busy stops. For them to handle the ridership we would need a bus highway through our downtowns, with passing lanes and level platforms. For most of the cost of an LRT system, it would get us dozens more buses per hour polluting our downtowns with diesel fumes and noise, and would only postpone the capacity issues.
LRT, in addition to its smoother ride and quieter and friendlier electric propulsion, has larger vehicles that can be coupled in trains. Less manpower is needed to operate it, and more and bigger doors allow for low dwell times at stations — which are the main capacity bottleneck. And more than just funneling growth into central areas, the inflexibility of light rail will be able to guide development to occur alongside transit and in a way conducive to transit use.
We're finally realizing that our resources are finite. In the post-war era, anything was possible. Technology would solve all problems, land was plentiful, gas was cheap, and everyone could drive their car from the idyllic suburbs to work downtown. We know now that sprawl comes with costs to the environment, costs to our health, and costs to our wallets — it's expensive to build streets and lay down infrastructure to serve low densities at the edge of the city. We've already chosen to put a limit to sprawl. Now it's time to follow through with the transit service and infrastructure that will grow our Region up and not out.

My latest Record column is on the public subsidies for highways:
Today's lesson in economics: When something good is free, people take more of it. But if it's the government handing out the free lunch, you better believe you're paying for it. Space on provincial highways like Highway 401 is one such free lunch, and it's often painfully clear to motorists that this space is in high demand. Much of that demand is thanks to the taxpayer subsidy for highways.
Insufficient road capacity has been a perennial problem ever since we started driving everywhere and choosing where to live based on road connections. The perennial solution has been to add new roads and widen, widen, widen — neighbourhoods and the environment be damned. It hasn't worked, however, thanks to the phenomenon of induced demand. Once a busy highway is widened, it only takes a few years before people move in to new, cheap houses further out along a clear commute — and the highway gets congested again. Taxpayer money is thus spent to turn the problem of traffic congestion into two problems: traffic congestion and more infrastructure to maintain.
As crumbing bridges across North America can attest, we haven't even kept up with the maintenance of our existing road network, much of it built in the 1960s and 1970s. Every new overpass is an overpass that has to be replaced in 40 or 50 years. Every new lane of roadway is an extra lane to repave every several years. More space on the roads results in more driving, leading to the lost productivity costs of congestion and more injuries sustained and lives lost in the lane of duty (with attendant emergency response costs). And, of course, more driving costs the environment through desperate oil production, carbon release and air pollution. Highway spending nets us a much larger bill than we bargain for.
The financially sustainable solution to congestion requires providing transit that is sufficiently good to attract drivers. Transportation by rail uses fewer resources to carry more people, and arguably in more comfort. The infrastructure requires less maintenance, lasts longer, and is lighter on the environment and public health. All costs considered, train service is less expensive than building and maintaining more highway space.
Commuters' decisions are based mostly on the personal costs and benefits of the choices available to them. They have no great love of driving on busy highways (even free ones), but they can't take an alternative that doesn't exist. When presented with serious alternatives to driving, commuters flock to them in droves. The popularity of commuter rail, such as GO trains, indicates that plenty of people would choose to get to work by train.
Instead of spending double-digit billions on further highway expansion, Ontario should funnel transportation funds into train service, such as GO train extensions to Kitchener and to Cambridge, the Waterloo Region light rail project, and frequent and fast train service on the Quebec City-Windsor corridor. With good alternatives in place — which could even be as simple as dedicated bus lanes — Ontario should implement dynamic user fees on limited-access highways to pay for upkeep and to eliminate congestion.
Some would take the train and others would take the bus on those same highways. Yet others would move closer to work — like the three-fourths of Waterloo Region commuters who travel less than 10 km to work (and who currently subsidize those long highway commutes). Of course, occasional and regular users who find the highway worth paying for would have a faster, congestion-free commute.
Limited-access highways are at best a wasteful kind of transportation infrastructure, but when congested they are a tragic waste of economic resources. If we believe in subsidizing transportation systems, we should be doing so efficiently, and doing it to improve overall quality of life.
Don't be fooled by middling transit frequency
Most bus routes here are infrequent, with buses no more often than every 30 minutes. What would count as frequent? I'm sure the majority of those who don't use transit think every 15 minutes is frequent. But I'd bet most would change their minds after going to a bus stop and waiting 10-15 minutes (or more) for such a "frequent" bus. In the abstract 15 minutes isn't much time, but at a bus stop it's forever. Which is why truly frequent service is every 8 minutes or better, which doesn't allow much time for getting annoyed with waiting.
If using schedules or trip planners, any frequency increase certainly improves the transit experience. But though we are tempted to think of 15 minute service as being frequent, it just is not good enough to be painlessly used without schedules. The difficulty with middling headways of 15-20 minutes is that while it seems like one should be able to use the service without a schedule, in practice doing so is not advisable. Even schedule-using riders may be more lax following the timetable than with avowedly infrequent service, and so more likely to just miss the bus — leaving them to wait the full 15 minutes until the next one.
Transit agencies, politicians, and transit advocates should call a spade a spade, and only refer to transit services as frequent if they can be used painlessly without a schedule by most people — and not just the transit-dependent, either.

The "little old lady" approach to driving buses
First of all, I've never driven a bus. I have, however, driven plenty of cars and have had the opportunity to observe that cars differ in how easy they are to smoothly halt and accelerate. But I've always been able to learn and adjust, with the aim of making the ride reasonably smooth. In my estimation, though there are likely differences between different buses, there is also between-driver variation in jerkiness of ride.
Therefore I propose the following aide to bus drivers (or those who train them). Whenever there are passengers on board, the driver should drive as if there is a little old lady standing at the front of the bus and trying to hold on before the bus gets to her stop. That means minimizing jerkiness for fear of sending the little old lady flying. Most drivers should be familiar with this scenario, and it gives a tangible way to think about a smooth ride.
Ideally there would probably be accelerometers on buses, but in practice whatever keeps the little old lady reliably on her feet is probably good enough for the rest of those on board the bus as well.
The curse of flexibility in transit
You hear it all the time. Buses are more flexible than rail. From point A, bus routes can take you to your favorite points X, Y, and Z, each in a single ride. They can detour around an accident. The routes can be altered to accord with population shifts.
But the curse of flexibility is that it gets used. It sounds like a truism, but bear with me. I believe the theme applies rather broadly, but I want to talk about the curse of transit flexibility.
The other day I was at the University of Waterloo after 7 pm and had to unexpectedly make it to downtown Kitchener. The 8 bus could get me there, but it was running at a 30 minute frequency. By that hour the 7 was running at a 30 minute frequency, on just one of its routings. The iXpress had the furthest stop and at that hour was also at a 30 minute frequency. I had the luxury of a choice between three different buses with separate schedules and bus stops — and infrequent service. Had the iXpress been running at a 10 minute frequency, I would've gone to that stop and not have wasted my time and energy trying to plan such a simple trip.
In contrast, transit infrastructure like light rail forces a choice of a corridor — and that's where the service is concentrated, without being diffused among many routes.
Buses can detour. For some time this week road construction closed the north UW campus entrance, and separate construction closed the east side of Ring Road. That meant hell for transit users, who first had the realization that their bus wasn't where they expect it, then had to figure out where it actually was, and of course the schedules were screwed up anyway. The iXpress did a detour of over 3 km between the UW stop and the R&T Park stop, taking a long time and getting stuck in the construction-related traffic along the way. Getting out and walking that same distance would have been faster.
Light rail can't detour, so it forces construction to be done quickly, with minimal impact — and at night whenever possible.
Buses can have their routes moved in accordance with change in transportation demand, and the flip side is the absence of commitment that transit along a corridor will be provided in the years to come. So the location of transit routes cannot be used to directly inform decisions about where to live, or where to build. If you build fixed transit infrastructure (e.g. light rail), however, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. There is a tangible commitment to providing transit along that corridor, which is used to determine where to live and where to build, thereby itself shaping the transportation demand.
Precisely due to their flexibility, buses can do little to shape or direct urban form and land use. So they have no choice but to react. They can demand little of any forces that hinder their operations. And a bus system's flexibility in providing service from any point to any other point makes it difficult to consolidate service into select, high quality routes that are easy to understand and use.
Bold lines: Guaranteed high-frequency bus routes
I've written before about the complexities and uncertainties of bus systems. Here I outline one simple way to make transit networks more accessible to riders and would-be riders: guaranteed high-frequency routes. Creating such routes and marking them in bold on maps makes clear what portion of a system is accessible without a schedule, making possible spontaneous trips and more natural transit use.
Lines should be marked in bold on route maps if they run (for example):
At least every 10 minutes Monday through Saturday from 6 am to 10 pm and Sundays and holidays from 8 am to 8 pm;
At least every 30 minutes the rest of the time.
Express routes should be clearly delineated from other routes on the same corridor. Branching is okay, but only sections of a line meeting the frequency criteria may be marked in bold. Streetcar lines, if any, should meet bold line standards, perhaps being drawn in a separate color for clarity. Maps should list the service frequency for bold lines, and bus stops along bold routes should clearly indicate their status as such.
Currently there is not a single Grand River Transit route that qualifies. Route 7 mainline is pretty close to bold between King & Ottawa and King & University, but lacks night service. On University between Westmount and Weber, routes 8 and 12 could together be close as well.
Bus routes necessitating a schedule are only accessible to committed bus riders, and are unfriendly to casual users. A guaranteed high frequency on selected routes makes those lines easier and more pleasant to use for the choice rider as well as for the regular transit user. Minimum nightly service assures users that they will not be stranded, which encourages use during all hours.
Transit systems without bold lines should try implementing a small network of them. And systems that already have lines that qualify should be making a big deal of it. Simplified pocket-size maps ought to be freely available to show the transit-novice and the transit-averse which routes are easy to use.
It is difficult for low frequency service to spur enough ridership to "justify" high frequency service; it's an uphill battle of incremental service increases in tandem with small ridership increases (and sporadic service cuts for good measure). Bold lines allow a transit network to pull itself up by the bootstraps through strategic allocation of resources into a network structure that is qualitatively different and more accessible to riders.
The opportunity of full buses
"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded." -Yogi Berra
It's rush hour and you're going home. You're driving along a freely moving road with no jams. In front of you a bus stops to pick up a few passengers. It looks like it will take a while, so you pass it, and look in while doing so. The bus is jam-packed.
Will this make you more or less likely to consider taking the bus? Unless you are a pickpocket, I imagine the answer is the latter.
It seems to me that transit advocates like seeing full buses, and I admit I've been one of that number. Full buses mean that people are riding transit, which is good! But full buses are actually a bad thing for a number of reasons, and they may be detrimental to the growth of transit mode share in areas where transit does not predominate.
It is plain uncomfortable to be on a crowded bus. Difficult to get on, difficult to get off. When the bus lurches or grinds to a halt, standees — often unable to get a good grip — get thrown all over the place.
A full bus takes longer to get everywhere. As a result of having so many people, it is likely to make more stops. Plus, it takes much longer each time someone needs to get on or off. It's even worse in the case of buses running every 15 minutes or more frequently, as the later a bus arrives, the more people will be waiting for it. The next bus is comparatively less burdened, and is able to catch up. This bus bunching decreases effective frequency.
There is always some variation in how many people ride the bus. If the bus is full as a matter of course, there is no room for it to handle an upward deviation in ridership. Every time someone gets left behind at a bus stop, that has a real chance of adding another driver back to the roads. And it certainly doesn't invite new riders.
It is an order of magnitude better to run half-full buses at twice the frequency than running crush loaded buses. The difference in quality of service between the two choices is huge: higher frequency is itself attractive to riders, as is having more space available and having shorter dwell times. This higher frequency would of course be particularly effective if it crossed the schedule-free threshold. I suspect that in many cases of full buses in K-W, running at twice the frequency might actually lead to running 2/3 full buses (not just half-full) as a result of increased use by choice riders. These would be serious effects on overall ridership figures and on transit mode share.
Full buses are a better problem to have than empty buses, and it is probably appropriate to consider it not just as a problem but as an opportunity to increase the number of people using transit. We should think of every full bus as having missed out on a certain number of would-be riders, which riders will materialize if offered less crowded service.
Transit infrastructure, not just transit
The streetcars that crisscrossed North American cities and towns in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were generally built and run by private companies, and operated at a profit. With the rise of the private automobile and due to other factors, they were no longer able to turn a profit, even in the cities in which streetcars were not deliberately run into the ground. I don't think cities realized at that time that the infrastructure of the streetcar lines may have actually been worth paying for — and not just something to be allowed if paid the usage fees by streetcar companies. And so the infrastructure was swept away with the streetcars, which paved the way (no pun intended) for the downturn of urban areas and boosted suburb development.
Fast forward to now. Many people still participate in discussion of, and decisions about transit in North America without understanding that transit is not just about moving people effectively. From such a point of view, it can make sense to advocate for high-frequency buses and not much else in many cases. (Of course, there are also factors such as comfort and simplicity to consider.)
The other side of transit is infrastructure. Transit infrastructure, generally rail-based, changes the fabric of its surroundings. It transforms the geography, and attracts disproportionate development to its stations or corridors. Once built, it is taken as a permanent and reliable connection and short-cut between disparate places. It is visibly in place, a financial and social investment that is both useful and that cannot be easily picked up and moved. In other words, it is infrastructure. And such infrastructure is central to reclaiming an urban landscape.
We should stop talking about just transit, and start talking about transit infrastructure. The way discussions are framed makes a difference, and currently discussion about transit allows the ignorance of all the implications of transit beyond the movement of people. The only way to build liveable cities in North America that are not car-dependent is by building strong transit infrastructure. Transit can only follow, while transit infrastructure leads.
Quantifying the bus experience
Yesterday I took the iXpress bus from Uptown Waterloo to Conestoga Mall (with only four stops in between). In those 20 minutes I counted around 130 minor rattles of the bus, and 80 major rattles. So on average, that's around a rattle every 6 seconds, with a major one every 15 seconds. It's not surprising why it's difficult to read on a bus, and why headaches are a frequent result of the ride.

Supervisors and employees alike might not always look forward to the annual performance-appraisal meeting.
Performance management and employee satisfaction are two areas that pose challenges for employers. Using performance management methods such as appraisals to measure employee performance comes with its own challenges, which are usually unforeseen. Only after employers implement complex appraisal programs do they realize the problems associated with them. Job satisfaction is another subjective topic that concerns employers – job satisfaction, or lack thereof, can affect performance appraisals and threaten the employer-employee relationship by creating friction between employees and their supervisors. Nevertheless, employers can use surveys, employee feedback and supervisor review to define what problems exist within both job satisfaction and performance appraisals.
Conduct an employee opinion survey with questions about job satisfaction and performance appraisals. Examples of questions that probe employee job satisfaction might include "on a scale of one to five, describe your enthusiasm about beginning the work week" and "how many times in the past six months have you had an unscheduled absence from work simply because you didn't want to be here?" To identify and define problems with performance appraisals, ask employees how many times they have received timely reviews from their supervisors. Granted, these may be awkward questions for some employees; however, they shed light on the level of employee morale, which is a strong indicator of job satisfaction. Provide employees with a guarantee that their survey responses are confidential and anonymous.
Facilitate employee focus groups for issues related to job satisfaction and performance appraisals. To ensure both confidentiality and anonymity, engage the services of a workplace consultant to ask employees questions about their working conditions and ideas for improvement. If you have a casual workplace where employees feel free to share their concerns, you may not need to expend time and money for a consultant. It depends on your workplace climate. Some employees are reluctant to give feedback in an open forum for fear of retribution.
Identify issues with performance appraisals in terms of being timely and complete. Employees who receive their performance reviews long after the deadline may raise their concerns with human resources when reviews and ratings are tied to merit increases. Another way to define problems with performance appraisals pertains to looking at accuracy within the review itself. Supervisors and managers receive leadership training performance management philosophy and how to conduct the actual performance review meeting. However, supervisor bias is an issue in many appraisals. Supervisor bias introduces errors and prevents supervisors from rating employees objectively. Types of supervisor bias include recency error wherein employees are given ratings on a shorter evaluation period than required. Supervisors who commit recency error tend to only look at the employee's performance during the month or so prior to an annual performance review rather than the entire one-year evaluation period.
Review exit interview responses from employees who voluntarily resigned their positions. Examine their answers, looking for clues that indicate poor job satisfaction was the reason for ending the employment relationship. Examples of reasons related to job performance and performance appraisals may indicate dissatisfaction with leadership. Addressing ineffective leadership may resolve employee complaints related to their performance evaluations, including supervisor bias, failure to conduct appraisals in a timely manner and rendering incomplete or inaccurate appraisals of employee performance.

For the LF 12t models (with 17.5 inch wheels), the low floor height of 89 cm has been preserved. The versions with 19.5 and 22.5 inch wheels have a floor height of 98 cm and 111 cm.
Especially in distribution transport, the driver needs many and practical storage options. Therefore, the DAF LF offers a spacious and lockable storage compartment on the engine tunnel with an additional option to store something on the lid.
In case the LF is equipped with an AS-Tronic automated gearbox there is an extra storage compartment available on the dashboard next to the driver for e.g. bills of lading and a notebook. Furthermore, there are storage compartments in the door panels, a storage net is applied to the back wall of the cab and there are two storage compartments just above the windscreen.
Above the windscreen at the driver side four DIN slots are available for a.o. the digital tachograph - which is thereby easily accessible. The extended day cab and sleeper cab have also three additional lockable storage bins behind the seats as standard.

CT Honoured to Support Delivery of First Ever Earthshot Prize Awards 2021
Last month Creative Technology (CT) were honoured to support delivery of the first-ever Earthshot Prize awards ceremony which took place at the iconic Alexandra Palace in London.
This hugely influential and high-profile event was introduced by HRH Prince William and hosted by Clara Amfo and Dermot O'Leary with Sir David Attenborough joining as a very special guest.
The ceremony also featured incredible music performances from globally renowned artists such as Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, KSI and Yemi Alade, and Shawn Mendes. Coldplay's performance, from outside of Alexandra Palace, used energy powered by 60 cyclists.
Working for long-standing client BBC Studios Events alongside The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, CT provided a circular, gloss LED floor to the exact design specified by the client, working with them to bring their vision to life with stunning results.
The high-resolution LED floor which was made up of 446 tiles of ROE Black Marble gloss finish also featured a catwalk and was fed into by two 4k signals. To further build up the stage, CT supplied a 12m x 7.2m screen to display winner VTs and announcements with an additional 3m x 2.4m screen in the lobby for the presenters.
"It was an absolute privilege to work on an event of such a meaningful and relevant cause. Not only did the ceremony look amazing for the live audience in the palace but the use of dynamic camera angles made for some impressive footage for the audience watching on the screens and at home." – Paul Seeger, Project Manager at Creative Technology UK.
Following on from the main event, CT were also on-hand to deliver the video and audio for the green carpet event in the foyer with an LED screen and multiple TVs to display the feed.
The feed was also taken and sent to a specified BBC platform for people around the world who otherwise would not be able to access the stream.
After the show in a separate room a secure Zoom call was set up between each of the Earthshot Prize award winners and The Duke and Duchess so that they could congratulate them on their hard work and achievements.
Claire Popplewell, Creative Director at BBC Events commented, "The show was modern, surprising, beautiful, immensely risky and creative, and was just perfect. Actually, it was better than that, it was breath-taking. It is true to say that over the past couple of years we have, together, redefined the quality, creativity and expectations of live televised national and international events and set the bar unbelievably high; and the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony set the bar another notch higher."

Sacred Games 2 Release Time Brought Forward by Over 12 Hours
Netflix has announced a new release time for Sacred Games 2: 12am IST on August 15. That brings the Indian series' release forward by over 12 hours, which was initially set to drop 12am PDT — that translates to 12:30pm IST — as is standard for all Netflix content. There are eight episodes in total on Sacred Games 2, as with last year, so you can (technically) finish your binge before the day even begins for most people. The midnight 12am IST release for Sacred Games season 2 is in place globally, which means fans of the show in North America and Europe can start watching the show on Wednesday, August 14 itself. (If you don't have other commitments, that is.)
The midnight IST release strategy for Sacred Games 2 brings Netflix in line with its global competitor, Amazon Prime Video, which has followed that release time for all its Indian originals. Other local streaming services, from Hotstar to ZEE5 and Eros Now, have also relied on midnight IST releases, which naturally makes sense when most of your audience is based in India. For Netflix, releasing Sacred Games 2 at midnight as opposed to in the afternoon is an exception to the rule, as the world's biggest streaming service otherwise prefers a simultaneous Pacific Time global drop for its original content.
That said, it's easy to see why Netflix would make an exception for Sacred Games. The Saif Ali Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer crime drama is by far the biggest and most popular Netflix original from India, which is why the American giant has reportedly spent as much as Rs. 100 crores (about $14 million) on making the highly-awaited second season. Given Netflix spent about Rs. 20 crores (about $2.8 million) on making the first season, per a report from December last year, that Rs. 100-crore figure likely also accounts for production, marketing, and other associated costs.
Sacred Games 2 is out August 15 at 12am IST on Netflix.

With his Oranur experiment, Wilhelm Reich attempted to find ways of using orgone (the word that he used for life force) against the effects of nuclear radiation. The effects of this experiment proved to be devastating on the surroundings of the experiment, and Reich realized the emergence of a form of orgone energy, which appeared to be rigidified, stale.
Reich labeled this energy DOR, or Deadly ORgone energy. DOR had extremely negative effects upon the human organism and life forms in general, and an atmosphere of DOR causes an orgone accumulator (the Reichian accumulator of life energy, built following Mesmer's principles) to "foul up". In other words, such an orgone accumulator became a source of DOR itself and it had to be dismantled. Soon it became clear that, besides radioactive emanations, other forms of EMF's (electromagnetic frequencies) transform orgone energy into its stale form of DOR. Typically, fluorescent tubes and the more recent energy-saving spirals (I love to call then "cancer coils") and TV screens or computer monitors generate DOR, as is experienced by many people who are forced to be exposed to such devices for extended periods of time. Electromagnetic pollution from cellular telephones, especially its towers, is well known meanwhile.
Being confronted with the potential of DOR, I invented a DOR generator for my research. The advantage of such a generator is that it can be turned off with ease, contrary to the orgone accumulator in the Reichian Oranur Experiment, which contained radioactive material. The effect of the DOR generator on the human being was evident immediately. Within seconds, bystanders felt pain in their lymph nodes and they felt weak, and some felt nauseous or at least very "edgy." This situation changed immediately whenever a pulsating Orgone generator® (the old EPG 2000 was used for this series of experiments. The device looked somewhat like a muffler and it had the strength of the JU 99 CE) was brought close to the DOR generator. Contrary to the marketing claims of some copy cats (thieves) of my technology, orgonite® (a very effective life energy accumulating material that I invented shortly after the invention of the orgone generator) alone has no effects in counteracting DOR. If orgonite appears to have some minimal effects at times, this is due to other environmental factors, including specific EMF's. In fact, in the DOR generator, orgonite® is the major contributing factor to actually generate DOR. This is a function similar to the one of the orgone accumulator in the Reichian experiment, and some of the "believers" of marketing claims made by thieves of my technology (and trademarks) had to find this out the hard way. Orgonite® is more effective and much smaller quantities are needed.
With the pulsating orgone generator® close to it, the DOR that emanated from the DOR generator itself began to pulsate again: it lost its stale characteristics and therefore it was immediately transformed into orgone, or life force. Consequently, the feeling of the atmosphere surrounding the device immediately changed from depressive-sickening to uplifting-energizing. Wilhelm Reich was apparently correct when describing DOR as an orgone energy that has become stale and rigid. His accumulators, of course, became part of the problem rather than part of the solution, and so does orgonite®, when used for such purposes. It took the invention of the orgone generator® to have an effective device that transforms DOR.
We experienced similar effects when life energy generators of the JU 99 CE type were brought into places that had heavy DOR present such as in rooms with lots of fluorescent tubes such as the in-famous energy saving cancer coils and/or computer monitors. The atmosphere became agreeable almost immediately.
For personal use, i.e., to re-energize an atmosphere that is contaminated with DOR, the JU 99 CE is adequate. For more massive atmospheres of DOR, larger and more powerful equipment is needed.

China's ambitious future in Central Asia Departures with Robert Amsterdam
Though we often view China's increasingly activist foreign policy in its trade wars, territorial disputes, and frequent collisions with Western states, less attention is paid to its gradual and quiet expansion of influence in the 'Stans of Central Asia.
But it is here, among the populations of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan where one can see the true evolution of the Belt and Road Initiative, and watch the in progress departure of Russian influence over these former Soviet republics which has only accelerated since the war in Ukraine. In this episode of Departures we welcome the Raffaello Pantucci, the co-author along with the late Alexandros Petersen of the remarkably unique book, "Sinostan: China's Inadvertent Empire."
Pantucci and Petersen, the latter of whom was tragically killed in an attack in Afghanistan before the book's publication, underwent more than 10 years of field research and travel to draw this incredibly detailed portrait of the evolution of China's geo-economic footprint in the resource-rich Central Asian basin. With a highly visual narrative story-telling framework, Sinostan offers readers an unprecedented look inside how many Central Asian citizens and officials feel as this accidental empire has been built up around them.


Time dependent properties and performance of tubular solid oxide fuel cells were studied numerically and experimentally. The numerical model incorporated local characteristics such as porosity, tortuosity, grain size, and conductivity and was used to evaluate the specific and relative changes in performance caused by the effect of time-dependent material changes of those characteristics. A 500 hour experimental study was conducted at 800°C in 97%H2∕3%H2O on an extruded LSCo-La0.6Sr0.4CoO3∕LSGM∕Ni electrolyte-supported tubular SOFC made in our laboratory. Changes in current density with time (at constant voltage) formed a curve with initial convex (upward) curvature, becoming monotonic decreasing. The microstructure of the constituent layers was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Comparisons between model predictions and experimental observations were made. For the situation modeled and tested, the porosity and ionic conductivity were found to be most influential on performance. More importantly, the effect of porosity is a trade-off between the influence on gas transport and the mixed conductor influence on the electrochemical reactions at the electrode.

Hello all! Maria here, and I hope you all are doing great this week! And yes, I am here with another review, but this one is different. Why, do you ask? Well, it's not a review for a Netflix series or even a basic television series at that, as are most of the reviews on this blog, but it's a review for a film. I don't see as many reviews for films on here, so today's review is going to be a treat for you all.
This film review is going to be all about one of the most recent M. Night Shyamalan film, Split. I had the opportunity to watch it last weekend with a good friend of mine on Netflix, and let's just say…it was very interesting. And dark in a few places. I would say, actually, it's kind of disturbing to boot. But my eyes stayed stuck to that film, no matter what.
A brief synopsis: Split is about a guy, Kevin, who has Dissociative Identity Disorder (otherwise known as multiple personalities). His psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher, has witnessed 23 of them, but there is one that has yet to materialize. At least, not until he kidnaps three teenage girls in a parking lot after knocking out the father of one of them. If you've seen the trailer for this movie when it first came out, then you may recall this scene. What happens after that, though, and after you see the girls imprisoned under the basement of a zoo, things themselves begin to spiral as you see Kevin go into one personality after another, eventually getting to the 24th mysterious one.
As I said before, this movie is anything but lighthearted, it is one of the more disturbing films I have ever seen. I'm sure some reading this will be asking, "Why did you keep on watching it? Why didn't you choose something else on Netflix?" Well, there a few reasons why. First off, I wanted to see if the girls were going to get out alive; second, just seeing Kevin in his various personalities was intriguing, and having been a psychology major, anything psychology related always fascinates me. This film was basically the Netflix film I could not put down.
In summary, I would have to give Split a 4.5/5.
With that said, I hope you enjoyed this review, and be sure to stay tuned for Versailles!

9 Rules for Fighting in Front of Your Kids
Discover how to butt heads with your hubby without worrying your children
By Alexandra Gekas
It's inevitable that you'll argue with your husband at some point (all right, many points)—and sometimes, the kids will catch on that Mom and Dad are mad at each other. But these fights don't have to scare or scar your little ones. In fact, some fights can be invaluable teaching tools. Read on for nine things to keep in mind when arguments break out, from which topics are and aren't okay for tiny ears to hear to how to ensure your children learn from your disagreements.
1. Fight fair.
This means no name-calling, no screaming and no threats. "Focus on the content of the fight," suggests Tina B. Tessina, PhD, psychotherapist and author of Money, Sex and Kids: Stop Fighting about the Three Things That Can Ruin Your Marriage. "No-holds-barred arguing forces kids to take on responsibility that doesn't belong to them—to keep you two from fighting. It sets a bad example of what marriage is and may affect their ability to keep relationships going." According to Michael Osit, EdD, a clinical psychologist who works with families, it's important that your children don't see out-of-control rage. "They should understand that parents can get mad at each other and still love each other," he says.
2. Avoid adult topics.
Many conversations are fine to have in front of children. Certain subjects, though, should be off-limits. An obvious one: your sex life, says Dr. Tessina. A not-so-apparent one: If you're annoyed that your husband drank too much after a night out with his buddies, speak about that privately. "The kids shouldn't know one of you has a hangover. They don't know how to interpret adult things, so don't expose them to something they're not ready to understand," says Dr. Tessina. And you shouldn't talk badly about other family members, immediate or extended. "Discussions about particular people, like your mother-in-law, might get repeated to that person. Or the kids might start reacting oddly to that person," she warns.
3. Never argue about decisions concerning the kids.
You may occasionally disagree over rules for your children, but work that out behind closed doors. Otherwise, "the parent who isn't siding with the child could seem like the bad guy. And that can make him or her a less effective parent because their authority is being circumvented," says Dr. Osit. But there's a bigger issue: When children see they can divide and conquer their parents, they may get an inflated idea of their role. "If they start expecting to get what they want all the time, then they don't know their place as a child. They'll think they have authority in other areas of the family," explains Dr. Osit.
4. Solve a problem before it escalates.
Disagreements happen, but there's always a way to avoid fighting, according to Robert Epstein, PhD, research psychologist, former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today and founder of MyParentingSkills.com. "Any conflict can be resolved peacefully and constructively." For example, if you and your spouse are arguing about who should do the dishes, Dr. Espstein recommends discussing who did the dishes last time or who cooked dinner. Worst case scenario? Flip a coin. "That way, your child is cheering. You're resolving things positively," he says.
5. Make sure they hear you resolve the conflict.
While Dr. Osit recommends avoiding ongoing fights in front of the kids, hashing out disagreements that are quickly solvable can benefit them. "It's good for children to hear that your opinions differ on, say, what TV show to watch or where to go out for dinner," he says. These are opportunities to model how you'd want your kids to fight: with a goal of reaching a compromise, not winning. "They can learn to negotiate by observing you," says Dr. Tessina. "They also learn to problem-solve, listen to things they may not agree with, consider each other's wants and needs and stick with a discussion until a solution is reached," says Dr. Tessina. Through conflict—and conflict resolution—you're teaching them how to manage their own lives with classmates at school, siblings at home and eventually, colleagues at work.
6. Follow up separately afterwards.
If you and your partner have a big blowout in front of the kids, check in with them later to let them know everything's okay. "First tell them, 'I'm sorry we argued in front of you. We shouldn't have done that,'" recommends Dr. Osit. And it's worse if you and your husband sit down with your children at the same time. "That may be too formal, so let them know separately and casually that the issue's been resolved." This is crucial because your child's angst over conflict at home could lead to conflicts outside of it. "Kids tend to replay family issues through other relationships. They could transfer parental conflicts onto their siblings, peers and teachers," says Dr. Osit. "Or they can act out or become depressed."
7. Never make them take sides.
Not only do you want to avoid arguing about your kids in front of them, but you should never ask them to choose which parent they agree with, even on the smallest matters. "Don't ask them to vote for one parent over the other," says Linda Nielsen, EdD, educational and adolescent psychologist at Wake Forest University and author of Between Fathers and Daughters. "They can sit there and observe, but what does damage, even if the issue itself is trivial, is putting kids in the middle." If they get to settle an argument by siding with a parent, it can give them a false sense of power over the family. Plus, they can feel guilty about picking one parent over the other. "It's worse than arguing over something important in their presence."
8. Blow off steam together after a fight.
Losing your cool or being impatient or irrational with someone you love is a result of stress. "If we lose control, we're stressed, and we're probably stressed for a few minutes after a fight—and so are our children," says Dr. Epstein. "So find a way to help yourself and your children manage that stress." Dr. Epstein has taught his six-year-old daughter breathing techniques. "She 'blows things.' It's Lamaze-type breathing. If we think she needs more, we'll say, 'Blow our heads off!' She'll blow as hard as she can, we'll throw our heads back and she'll start to laugh," he says. "Bottom line: Some things go wrong and sometimes we don't feel good, but there are ways to make ourselves feel better." Other suggestions: Go for a walk or swim or hit up the dollar store for good, cheap fun. These can help you move past the fight, says Dr. Epstein.
9. Don't try to be perfect.
If you give your children the impression that their family is conflict-free, then they won't be prepared to handle conflict in the outside world. According to Dr. Nielsen, some cultures don't really engage in verbal arguments. But kids from cultures where there is some arguing tend to be less stressed about it in life because they know it's not the end of the world. "Some families hurt their kids' immune systems by over-cleaning. Shielding them from fights does a similar thing," says Dr. Nielsen. "You've got to sling a little dirt sometimes and let them build up immunity to that." So as long as you play by the rules, fighting in front of your children can give them the tools they need to cope with conflict in healthy ways.

While I love the Houston Symphony Orchestra's concerts at Jones Hall during the classical concert season, I also love when they periodically show some of the great classic films on a big screen with the HSO playing the score of the film as it is showing. The fetching Mrs. B and I have loved some of the past films like Indiana Jones, The Wizard of Oz, Back to the Future, etc. as our great orchestra played flawlessly the score of those films as it was showing. These have been great events, not just to see some great classic films on a big screen, but also to hear our great Houston Symphony Orchestra at the same time.
This weekend at Jones Hall is a film that is a natural for the score to be played by a symphony orchestra, as the classic film itself was made in 1940 with some of the great classical music pieces in it for the direct purpose of introducing classical music to young children [and adults who hadn't experienced classical music before]. This masterpiece animated film by Walt Disney is "Fantasia". The music in this film was performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Maestro Leopold Stokowski [who ironically was the music director for the Houston Symphony from 1955-1961].
While the most famous and recognized piece from this film is Paul Dukas' "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", when Mickey Mouse turns into a magician using his magical broom, this film contains 7 other great pieces of classical music [from Wikipedia]: Toccata and Fugue in D-minor by J.S. Bach; Nutcracker Suite by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky; Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky; Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony; Dance of the Hours by Ponchielli; Night on Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky; and Ave Maria by Franz Schubert.
This weekend's film will have our Houston Symphony Orchestra playing the live score with Principal POPS Maestro Steven Reineke conducting.
Turn up the volume and listen to just some of the great music from Fantasia that will be played in Jones Hall this weekend as the film is shown on the big screen.


With the series of heatwaves currently taking place around the globe (yes, climate change is a thing), being productive in the office has become even harder than it already was. If you're one of the unlucky ones slaving away from an office not blessed with some good ol' A/C, the room you're working from may feel more like a microwave oven than a place to make your millions.
The feeling is all too familiar to us at Highsnobiety, and so we've decided to compile some essential tips to stay cool in the workplace in this extreme heat. From hydration to knowing the spots on your body to keep cool, we're here to make these crazy times in the office that bit more bearable. And for those already doing the most to cool their 9-5s, we've also featured a few desktop products to stop the sweat.
Scroll down to read all our tips on how to stay cool during heatwaves, and take notes.
While flooding your desk with natural sunlight can be tempting, keeping your window blinds closed will do its bit to keep the heat away. If you're in need of an extra light source, now's the time to ask your office manager for that desk lamp.
Hydration is, of course, key all of the time — but blazing days such as these call for as much water as possible. If you want to avoid sipping on pasta water (those ice trays empty out quickly, don't they?), store your bottle in the freezer overnight for an icy treat the following morning.
It may sound obvious, but in creative offices such as ours, someone is always trying to rock all-black despite the 100-degree heat. Now is the time for those all-white 'fits we brought you earlier in the season, and don't be afraid to rock shorts at work.
Y'know those little USB desk fans? Well, we're currently swearing by them at Highsnobiety HQ. Whether your workplace has A/C, industrial ceiling fans, or nothing at all (yikes), having your own personal fan blowing in your face will make that much of a difference.
This may be hard to handle for a lot of you, but drinking coffee when it's this hot out will do nothing but raise your body temperature and increase your heart-rate. Opt for a cool glass of iced tea instead.
No, we're not telling you to shut down and go home, but not only will turning off devices like printers, photocopiers, and unused screens save energy, it'll also lower the room temperature.
Rather than taking regular trips to the bathroom to run your head under a cold tap, holding an ice cube to your pulse points — or just dabbing them with cool water — will bring instant relief while reducing your body temperature.
For more warm weather shopping tips, check out our guide to staying cool between the sheets.

Q: Can I use the TFS Object Model to interact with TFS via F#? I am looking for some quick ways to do some (more) complex queries across who has what checked out and things like that (eg. which files have >1 person checked out).
I have been learning F# over the last year or so and saw the potential to use both the functional aspects of F# to quickly create some useful and more complex TFS commands.
I was wondering if anyone else has done this, or have any ideas on how I would go about doing this.
PS: I am using TFS 2005.
Thanks
Russell

A: You'll need the Visual Studio 2005 SDK to get the needed assemblies. The SDK also includes a few examples in C# you can use as reference, and some dokumentation. Neither is very good (IMHO) so you'll probably have to do some googling.
I wrote the following code as proof of concept, but it might help you to get started. Note this is written in VS2010 so you might have to use #I statements to reference the right assemblies.

Welcome to Blazin Guns Hunting Lodge in Arkansas. Located in Brinkley, Arkansas, half way between Little Rock, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee, we offer flooded timber hunts for wood ducks & mallards in some of the countries best duck hunting habitat.
We have over 3,500 acres of privately owned hunting ground, which includes flooded rice, soybeans and green flooded timber. If you love fast paced duck hunting, you will enjoy the Wood Duck hunting in one of our flooded timber holes but you will need to be a quick shot & plenty of ammo.
The hunting starts early primarily for wood ducks, as they are as thick as bees early in the morning. As the woodies slow down, the green heads begin to filter into the blinds. The shooting is a little different for the mallards, making it a fun and challenging transition. After the wood ducks slow down the mallards start coming our way with geese following.
As a bonus, Canadian, Specks and Snow Geese filter through the area adding to the excitement of the hunt. Geese usually pass by our duck blinds and we normally take a few while duck hunting.
This timber hole is located only about the 2 miles from the famous 64,000 acre white river refuse.
Our licensed guides have a combined 30 + years of experience. We also have lodge to offer our guests. At Blazin Guns we believe in killing ducks and having a good time while doing so.

Steal This Script - April 1992
by John Dodge
Did you ever wonder how egg-laying bunnies, baskets of shredded green cellophane, and hypersweet, spongy yellow candy got all mixed up with Easter in the first place? My "find file" mind lurches from history to anthropology to biology searching for some natural link. I get the egg part. But rabbits?
April's "Steal This Script!" is devoted to Easter, which this year falls on Sunday the 19th. I know Passover runs from April 18th to the 24th, but from a strictly retail perspective, Easter seems to have the edge. What are the spec opportunities here? Florists, garden centers, candy shops, drug stores, grocery and convenience stores, department stores, kid's clothing, toys, photo shops. There may be others, but let's go with grocery stores. By selling everything from Auto parts to Zinc oxide, the large grocery chains are America's one-stop shop. And they buy radio big time.
Our Easter list: we'll need flowers, plants, candy, fancy baskets, fake grass, eggs, coloring kits, more candy, cute bonnets, film, greeting cards, stuffed bunnies, and finally...more candy. Did I leave anything out? We'll pick it up later -- they're open Sundays.
The Spot:
Perky cartoon track plus (SFX) "boing-boing-boing" under your station's best Daffy Duck impersonator, who sings:
"Here comes Peter Cottontail, hoppin' down the bunny trail...." OK, so I'm not the Easter Bunny, but Grocery King wanted somebody dynamic...vivacious... (really spits here) ...stupendous to announce (tympani or snare roll) the Grocery King Easter Extravaganza.... Tah-Dah!! (cymbal crash) Got your shopping list? Great! Let's go!!! (SFX: that slide whistle you hear when cartoon characters take off...followed by "boing-boing-boing" up and under.) I know you're in a rush. That's why Grocery King has everything you could possibly need for Easter under one roof. Aisle after colorful aisle full of fancy Easter baskets and bonnets, coloring kits and supplies, fresh flowers, plush stuffed bunnies, film and photo albums, candy, candy, candy and don't forget-jumbo farm fresh eggs, a decorator's delight, only 39 cents a dozen! Eggs-actly what you've been looking for! Everything you need for Easter is on sale now during Grocery King's Easter Extravaganza! This is Peter Cottontail......not.....saying long live the King! Grocery King, your Easter shopping headquarters. Toodle-loo! (boing-boing-boing fade.....)
So now you've got the script -- bend it, mend it, leave it as is but don't leave it alone. Go cut this sucker, give it to your Sales Manager and watch the sparks fly. "Great spec! Big new account! Thanks!" Congratulations. They don't make money without you. In next month's "Steal This Script!" we'll do it again, only different.
