So what some of the best sports games for Android and iOS on the market? Check out the list of 10 sports game you have to have with you if you want to be a real sports fan:
Real basketball – MobileCraft
Real basketball is a great application for al basketball fans because it offers them the chance to play single player or multiplayer.

MLB 9 Innings – Com2uS
Baseball is one of those games you have to see to understand. The same thing is with the application, you have to try it to love it. Choose your own ball, pitch, position, anything you need to become a great baseballer. The game is pretty impressive, it has more than 800 players which are rendered in 3D with some serious graphic. The overall score for the game is 4,2 which is pretty good when considering the 55,500 users behind it.
Foosball Cup World – Ludus Studio
Foosball is one highly addictive game and this application makes sure that you can fully enjoy the pocket version of table football.

Almost 800,000 reviews show us that the game is pretty interesting and the 4,2 score shows us that the performance is impressive.
Pro Feel Golf – Behaviour Interactive
Golf is actually pretty unusual sport for an application, but the experts in the Behaviour Interactive did a pretty good job with it. Just like the basketball game I have already mentioned, you can play single and multiplayer mode with people all over the world. The graphics are pretty impressive and the one-hand controls make this game easier to play. Different upgrades and powerups can improve your skills so you can continue to grow in the game.

Almost 92,000 users had reviewed this app and they gave it the overall score of 3,8, which is lower than the rest, but still pretty OK.
Madden NFL Football – Electronic Arts
Another Electronic Arts application is on this list. Madden NFL Football will tie you to your smartphone while you let your team win match after match. The principle is similar to the FIFA application where you can buy and sell your players and by achieving challenges, you can earn rewards. The game was rated more than 1,350,000 which is awesome and the entire game's score is 4.5.
Pool – 8 Ball Game – Pool Games Studio

Almost 45,000 users gave this game the overall rating of 4,4, which is very impressive.
Fishing Hook – Mobirix
You can't compare the real fishing and the game about fishing, but this game is pretty close. This game has 16 different languages and you can also play it on tablets, which is a new thing. The graphics in the game are great and the intense feeling will be always around you. You can't just tap the fish; you have to put some effort in catching it, just like the real thing.

I slept for about 4 hours before puppy was up for the day... Last night @ work we calculated how much i'll have paid back to student loan in the end. 51,000 was the total, 13000 for interest... At least I'm coming to an end of the payments soon.
Last night I realized that i need to buy a hair dryer and straightener. Why? Because in this house 2 women/girls, 01 hair dryer and 01 straightener, 1 mother leaving for 3 days = someone having crappy hair for 3 days. So I decided that to make our lives easier I'll buy my own. So, I'll probably drop close to 80 on these 2 items. I was going to have to buy them in a few weeks any was so it just bumped the purchase up.
So today will be another spend day, but I won't spend anything Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I'll be spending, and next week-end most likely. Plus i won't be working @ my PT job for the next 2 weeks. I only asked for 1 week but she gave me 2 so I'm not going to be too upset, I need the break.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday expenses will be paid for, so I'll be OK, and I'll be spending less for groceries this week too. I'll spend about 20 today on a few groceries for DD while I'm gone ( KD, milk, etc).
I must go and finish up a couple of things, I'll post later on on what i spent today!
If I win the lottery this week i'll let you know!

New Perspectives on the Haskalah
Feiner, Shmuel
Sorkin, David
The Littman Library of Jewish Civilization
Relating to Jewish people and groups
Social groups: religious groups and communities
I thought you would find this interesting: New Perspectives on the Haskalah Feiner, Shmuel; Sorkin, David The Littman Library of Jewish Civilization (2001)
This volume, written by a range of scholars in history and literature, offers a new understanding of one of the central cultural and ideological movements among Jews in modern times. Disengaging the Haskalah from the questions of modernization or emancipation that have hitherto dominated the scholarship, the contributors put the Haskalah under a microscope in order to restore detail and texture to the individuals, ideas, and activities that were its makers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In particular, they replace simple dichotomies with nuanced distinctions, presenting the relationship between 'tradition' and Haskalah as a spectrum of closely linked cultural options rather than a fateful choice between old and new or good and evil.
The essays address major and minor figures; ask whether there was such an entity as an 'early Haskalah', or a Haskalah movement in England, look at key issues such as the relationship of the Haskalah to Orthodoxy and hasidism, and also treat such neglected subjects as the position of women. New Perspectives on the Haskalah will interest all students of modern Jewish history, literature, and culture.
CONTRIBUTORS: Harris Bor, Edward Breuer, Tova Cohen, Immanuel Etkes, Shmuel Feiner, Yehuda Friedlander, David B. Ruderman, Joseph Salmon, Nancy Sinkoff, David Sorkin, Shmuel Werses.
'Offers many new perspectives on the movement. It includes unique and original studies ... The authors are acknowledged experts in their fields ... a valuable addition to any library collection dealing with modern Judaism and is an important update to any collection dealing with European Jewish culture and religion.'
- Shaul Stampfer, Religious Studies Review
'This volume will leave its mark on the research of Haskalah. The authors' passion for the field and their erudition are evident in each and every page.'
- Lev Hakak, Shofar
Shmuel Feiner is Professor of Modern Jewish History at Bar- Ilan University and chairman of the Jerusalem Leo Baeck Institute. He is the author of The Jewish Enlightenment (2004), Moses Mendelssohn, Sage of Modernity (2010), and The Origins of Jewish Secularization in Eighteenth-Century Europe (2011). David Sorkin is Distinguished Professor of History and Jack H. Skirball Director, Center for Jewish Studies, City University of New York Graduate Center. He was formerly Frances and Laurence Weinstein Professor of Jewish Studies and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the author of The Transformation of German Jewry, 1780-1840 (1987), Moses Mendelssohn and the Religious Enlightenment (1996), and The Berlin Haskalah and German Religious Thought (2000), and is co-editor of Profiles in Diversity: Jews in a Changing Europe, 1750-1870 (1998). He has received grants from the British Academy and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Previously a Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies and St Antony's College, Oxford, he has been a visiting professor at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris, and a visiting fellow at the Max Planck Institut für Geschichte, Göttingen.

All types. Presentations, workshops, readings.
45 -60 minutes, but again happy to be flexible if we're doing an extended creative writing project.
Saci not only talks about books and writing, but also about thought-provoking topics, such as the economy, carbon emissions, climate change, the politics affecting teenagers today. The feedback we received from the tour was overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on how dynamic and creative her sessions are.


What's the Number One Thing Needed to Win an Election?
Continuing a trend seen election cycle after election cycle, the biggest spender was victorious in 397 of 426 decided House races and 30 of 32 settled Senate races [in 2008]. On Election Day 2006, top spenders won 94 percent of House races and 73 percent of Senate races. In 2004, 98 percent of House seats went to the biggest spender, as did 88 percent of Senate seats.
Of course, cash may be correlative instead of causative. That is, candidates that are better qualified, better on the issues, and better able to inspire voters raise more money than their opponents, and then go on to win.


I hosted and assisted the instructor for an Arvigo® Level 1 (Self-Care) Training last weekend. Eight lovely women from nearby (Appleton, Fond du Lac), and farther away (Minneapolis/St Paul MN, Marquette Michigan, and Kentucky) came for a beautiful, intense and supportive weekend. We ate healthy food, learned the self-care protocol for the Arvigo® work, delved into the anatomy of the pelvis, shared stories, laughed and cried together.
Whenever I'm with other practitioners, the gatherings are supportive and welcoming. The community upholds the standards and ethics of the profession, and also supports each other and welcomes new practitioners with open and loving arms.
Self-Care training is open to anyone, regardless of whether or not you plan to move on to practitioner training. Anyone with a belly can benefit from the gentle self-care that is taught during an Arvigo® session and at the full weekend retreat training.
There will be more offerings of class and gatherings! Stay tuned to this space, as well as my business Facebook page for updates on 2018 happenings!

Q: Azure Cognitive Search analyzer vs. normalizer, when you should you use each I am learning Azure Cognitive Search and got a bit confused about Analizer and Normilizer.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-analyzers
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-normalizers
As far as I understood the only difference is the fact  that Analyzers perform tockenization.
Could someone provide good example whene I should use one over antoher?

*

*What is benefits of  analizer over normalizer  and vise versa ?

*What is more efficitent permance wise?

Thank you for your time!

A: The simplest explanation is to use an analyzer for properties containing blocks of text. The normalizer is more suitable for properties with short content that you typically would use for filtering or sorting like City, Country, Name, etc.
A block of text will have content in a specific language. A language-specific analyzer will do a better job of producing good tokens for internal use by the search engine. You will find that you get better recall for textual content that is correctly processed using a relevant analyzer.

A: The values that you pass in a filter, sort, or facet can't be analyzed, so "normalizers" were created to fill that gap. They don't do everything that an analyzer can do (i.e., there is a smaller set of allowed tokenizers, token filters, and character filters) but they take care of the bigger issues, like normalizing text casing and getting rid of punctuation.

Great service and competitive pricing. Pleasure doing business.
Called about new tires, jake was helpful and gave me a few options to pick from. The next day I dropped off my car and had it back before noon! Overall excellent service.
Great attention to detail and very thorough. I will be taking all my vehicles there.
As always excellent service, was treated with utmost courtesy and respect. I've been bringing my vehicles to Holly Tire and Auto for over 10 years. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommend Allan and his team.
Tk u for explaining in detail the pros and cons on the things my car needs and doesnt need. Pictures that u take are priceless. U just saved me from another place from taking advantage if 1,100.00 worth of work they did but did not do right. Tks guys!!
Excellent service & pricing. I have lived right around the corner from this shop & never taken advantage of their services. I will definitely be going back after my experience there. Couldn't be happier!


Earlier this week, President Donald Trump tweeted encouragement for state legislators to pass "Bible literacy" bills that allow or even require public schools to create classes dedicated solely to teaching the Christian Bible to public schoolchildren.
Today, Americans United and a broad coalition of 43 prominent religious, civil rights, secular, LGBTQ and reproductive freedom organizations urged state lawmakers across the country to oppose "Project Blitz" and related legislation that uses religion as a basis for discrimination and attempts to enshrine Christian nationalism into law.
Project Blitz is part of a coordinated national effort by the Religious Right to codify the U.S. as an officially "Christian nation." Project Blitz promotes a three-tiered framework of state bills meant to incrementally redefine religious freedom and tear down the separation of church and state, with each tier laying the groundwork for the next.
The Project Blitz framework starts by pushing what its architects believe will be less controversial measures, such as displaying "In God We Trust" in public schools and buildings and establishing Bible classes in public schools. Using those bills as a foothold in a state, it then seeks to pass more dangerous legislation, such as coercing prayer in public schools or permitting taxpayer-funded agencies to discriminate against couples seeking to foster or adopt children because they are LGBTQ or the "wrong" religion.
It's no coincidence that Trump has tweeted support for the Bible class bills and his administration even issued an exemption from nondiscrimination laws for taxpayer-funded adoption and foster care agencies in South Carolina. While Trump himself may not be working for or with Project Blitz, he and its architects share the same agenda of promoting Christian nationalism. Throughout his presidency, his policies have continually violated the separation of church and state, and elevated one set of Christian beliefs above all others.
Joining AU in the statement are a broad list religious and denominational organizations, ranging from the National Council of Churches to Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, Union for Reform Judaism, Hindu American Foundation and Muslim Advocates. Also included are LGBTQ groups, such as the Equality Federation, Human Rights Campaign and Lambda Legal; reproductive freedom groups, including Center for Reproductive Rights and NARAL Pro-Choice America; civil rights groups, such as the American Civil Liberties Union and Anti-Defamation League; and secular organizations, including American Atheists and Secular Coalition for America. You can find the entire list of organizations here.
Americans United has been at the forefront of fighting back against Project Blitz. We are tracking these bills and the escalating trend of their introduction in state legislatures around the country. Already this year, at least ten Bible class bills have been introduced in eight states, and a half-dozen states passed "In God We Trust" display bills last year. Sign up for AU's emails so we can keep you up to date on what's happening with Project Blitz in your state.

Mineral Country encompasses 1,223 square miles and was the 54 county to be recognized as Montana's independent county in 1914. There is relatively little population in the county with Alberton, St Regis and Superior containing the majority of its inhabitants. Most of it is a rugged vast wilderness that is contained within the Lolo National Forest. A wilderness steeped in a rich history of mining and logging and the famed Mullan Trail becoming one of the main arterials through this pristine valley weaving its way up over a mountainous pass. It is said that The Clark Fork River carries more water than any other river in Montana that runs through the bottom of its meandering valleys. It is populated with ponderosa pines, lodge poles pines, douglas firs, eastern larch, with pockets of beautiful cedar groves. The high mountains contain pristine spring fed lakes that remain icy cold even in the peak of the hot summer months and are abundant with Brook, Native Cutthroat, Yellowstone Cutthroat, and some Rainbow Trout. Almost every drainage leads to or contains some remarkably beautiful spot. In many ways this area still feels untouched and to wander this land is like stepping back into a simpler more beautiful time.
Jim Cyr has spent a lifetime exploring, logging, and uncovering its historical riches. This is meant to be a self guided hiking tour through this vast wilderness and seemingly out of reach places, from the highest peaks to its lowest valleys.


The problem is how often I find too much of my own attitude reflected in their behavior. God blesses with abundance of goodness and a head-cold makes me miserable and whiney. I experience His Divine presence in prayer or worship, and then I let a negative comment about an unimportant subject steal the joy away. The Hebrews marched away from everything they knew and probably loved.
God was training them to trust Him completely. When we feel the grumbling start in our spirit, remember God will never lead us where His provision will not care for us. Your waters may be bitter, but God can sweeten them.


Children or young people can be reluctant to attend school at any point during their education. Although this may happen in primary school, it is far more common for young people in secondary school.
There are many reasons why a child or young person may be reluctant to go to school. The list below gives an idea of some of the possible reasons. This is not an exhaustive list, however it shows that attendance issues are complex and wide-ranging. It is useful to identify all the possible reasons that could be having a negative impact on the child or young person's attendance at school. Creative approaches may be required from parents, schools and other people involved to work together to promote and support attendance.
Informed by: Kearney C A (2001) School refusal behavior in youth: a functional approach to assessment and treatment. Washington DC: American Psychological Association.
Has there been significant change, loss or bereavement for the child or young person?
Are there ongoing circumstances for the child or young person at home that may impact on their ability or motivation to attend school?
Is there anything that could be making them anxious in school or making them feel disconnected from it?
Does the child or young person feel they are different from their peers in their identity?
Is the child or young person confident and socially integrated with strong friendships and alliances?
Could the child or young person be subject to teasing or perceived bullying?
If a child or young person complains of feeling unwell when there are no obvious physical symptoms, could this be an attempt to avoid school?
It is important to separate your own feelings and experiences from those of the child or young person. It can be useful to empathise with the child or young person, but remember to be aware of the way you respond so you can help the child or young person effectively.
Contact the school as soon as you notice a reluctance to attend so you can work together to try to solve any problems. The earlier issues and needs are identified, the easier it can be to find solutions.
Talk to the child or young person and find out if there is anything specific that is bothering them at school or at home. Remember that they may find it difficult to share their worries.
Explain to them that you understand how upset they feel and that you are going to try and help.
Help the child or young person to resolve any specific worries they have about home or attending school.
Support and encourage parents to be firm in their expectation that the child or young person will attend school.
Explain to parents that allowing the child or young person to stay off school is likely to increase their reluctance to attend and make the problem considerably worse.
Give the parents information about reluctance to attend school, and discuss with them how they are dealing with the child or young person's reluctance.
Work closely with parents to help the child or young person return to school.
Draw up a plan of gradual steps to get them back into full time schooling with support.
Encourage support from their friends, for example get them to call for the child or young person on school days.
If a child or young person is complaining of physical symptoms, talk to parents to find out if this is only on school days or non-school days as well.
Before sending a child or young person home when they complain of feeling unwell, first check that the symptoms are genuine and not because they don't want to be at school.
Keep a diary of the child or young person's reluctance to attend school or non-attendance at school to determine if there are any patterns. Note any factors that might be impacting attendance, including any physical symptoms.
If you are concerned about a child or young person's reluctance to attend school, please contact their school for support.

Iris is ideal for anyone seeking a completely fresh take on sampling and synthesis, particularly sound designers and composers working on music and sound for film, television and video games. With over 500 intensely creative patches available for immediate use, Iris is also perfect for any musician dreaming of diverse and compelling new sounds.
If your old sample libraries are looking dusty and tired, revive and rejuvenate the material by bringing it into Iris.

Iris makes it fun to experiment and manipulate your selections even further, with additional controls for zooming, rearranging, inverting, looping, reversing, and pitch-shifting.
As you make your spectral selections, energize and customize each sample you've layered (including the Sub waveform) with a dedicated set of synthesizer controls. For each sample, adjust envelope shaping, a tempo-synced LFO, and other parameters for tweaking the amplitude, modulation, and playback of your sound source. Adjust several parameters at once with Macro Controls, and get hands-on by mapping Iris controls to the knobs and buttons on your MIDI controller.
In addition, a global filter envelope and LFO let you manipulate your patch as a whole, granting unified movement to the overall sound of your patch.

Reverb: Expand your sense of space with a Reverb designed for synths, great for everything from small slap-back style ambience to extended long-push pads.
Filters: Give attitude and dimension to your sound with ten different Filter flavors, including Screaming Peak, Warm Synth Low Pass, and Retro Band Pass.
A world of sound design is at your fingertips, with hundreds of patches from world-class sound designers and 4 GB of idea-provoking audio samples, including recordings of insects, animals, machines, musical instruments, and much more.
Special bonus: Go vintage with recordings from classic and extremely rare synths, including the ARP 2500, the EMS VCS3, the Korg PS3100, the Yamaha CS-80, and the Logan String Melody.

Biggest MPO Disc Golf Upsets of the Last 5 Years
Home / SDG NewsBites
Nathan Queen (Not Nate, that's not his name) played like an absolute monster at the 2021 DGPT Championships in Charlotte, NC. He shot -6 day one, -7 day two, -7 day three, and -8 day four. That's right he shot -28 over the course of a tournament where he shot the hot round three out of four times to move on each day. It was a resounding victory over players who had proved to be elite over the course of the season.
Nathan Queen was the 28 seed, the lowest by far to ever win the DGPT Championship. Queen is a fantastic disc golfer, but before his win 0 people who filled out brackets on Grip6 thought he was going to win. So it got me thinking, has there ever been another upset like this?
I started following the pro scene in 2010 a little bit when I started playing disc golf. But Jomez wasn't around yet and the DGPT wouldn't be around for another 6 years. So watching disc golf was a little more difficult than it is to access today.
So I'd like to look back at 4 of the tournaments from the last 5 years where I think there's been a big upset. I'll put them in order of how crazy the upset was.
#4. Colten Montgomery winning the 2020 WACO Annual Charity Open.
With a rating of 1012 that tied him for 40th to start the event, Colten had been having a slow start to the 2020 season. He had played in 3 A tiers without a top 10 finish before WACO and while he's a touring player with good skills, he wasn't expected to win. After a 1040 rated first round Colten found himself on the chase card. This was an event in early March 2020, and was shortened to 2 rounds. It was the start of the Covid-19 Pandemic in the US. It's eerie to watch the video of the rounds. There's virtually no spectators.
In the second round Colten went on an absolute TEAR through the course. He shot -9 on the back 9 with two eagles. It's something that Colten was and is certainly capable of doing. But I think we all know how crazy it is to actually achieve your best score on holes for half a round. And there was added pressure on him as he was chasing/tied with/leading Paul McBeth and there was a 3 way tie with 5 holes left to play.
This was definitely a monumental upset. Colten hasn't won since that day in WACO, but any DGPT win in a career is a huge signature victory. I rewatched the round the other day. DiscGolfNetwork is awesome by the way for having the full round uncut for me to review. It's really a pleasure to rewatch such an amazing round.
#3. Nathan Queen 2021 DGPT Championship win.
This is a win that shocked pretty much everyone. Queen played 34 events this year. That's more than most of the other players who were in the championships. So it's not like he was well rested, but he was well tested. A wooded course suited him well and this tournament is unlike any other. You need to stay hot to win, and he picked the exact right time to get hot. Nathan probably had some expectations coming into the first round of maybe making it to the second round of play. After he put up a dominating score on the first two days he probably believed in himself a lot more than on day one. He didn't have an NT win this year, but the DGPT championship was a great time to get his first signature win.
He showed that just because you have 2 additional days of rest doesn't mean you're going to win a disc golf tournament. I'm looking forward to next season and watching him shred Hornets Nest again.
#2. Cam Todd winning the 2016 Glass Blown Open
This one happened a while back but it was still one of the biggest upsets I've ever seen. You'd be forgiven if you're new to the sport for not knowing 1x (2001) World Champion Cameron Todd. If you think back to 2016 it was a different time in the disc golf landscape. Paul McBeth and Ricky Wysocki were dominating the field event after event. Oh wait, that hasn't changed in 5 years.
Cam Todd was 42 years old in 2016 and playing on the wide open courses of Emporia in MPO. He didn't throw as far as any of the 2nd, 2nd, and 4th finishers (Paul, Ricky, and Eagle) but that didn't stop him from putting on a big show and averaging 1-5 strokes above his average each round. To me it was a complete shock. Paul and Ricky battles were so commonplace every weekend that I didn't think anyone could step up.
World champions don't get to be world champions by accident though, and this taught me to never count them out.
#1. Barsby Winning the 2018 Worlds.
Who was going to win the 2018 Worlds was a toss up. Paul was a 4x and Ricky a 2x, the battle for them was going to be another legendary slugfest right?
Nope. In fact neither of them were on lead card the last round. It was Barsby, Ulibarri, Conrad, and Anthon.
I consider these Vermont courses to be some of the best in the world. I've played them and I think that the overall challenges presented by Fox Run and Brewster Ridge are fair and test every skill a player has. I'm glad it wasn't just bomber holes and a long distance putting contest. This is what made Barsby's victory possible. There were 27 players rated ahead of Barsby but he averaged 1059 rated golf, 40 points above his rating! He tore up this tournament from start to finish, finishing in the top 10 of the first four rounds and 12th in the final round. He never had the hot round, but Gregg didn't make mistakes. He took 7 bogeys in 5 rounds which is something that you need to do to win.
He had played his first Open in 1999, so he'd been around for a long time before winning his first world championship. I think in the grand scheme of upsets this is huge. His skill sets aligned with the courses and he put up the rounds of his life in a grueling 5 round competition. I enjoyed watching those worlds a lot.
Since that win, Barsby has only played the GMC once. In 2019 he finished 18th in what I can only imagine was a very high pressure tournament. Fox Run and Brewster Ridge are going to host the 2023 world championships and I look forward to seeing Barsby play in that.
I think we can all agree that the players who won deserve their victories. In each case the player played above their rating and played great golf. It's one of the reasons we watch sports, because we never know the outcome ahead of time. The best players may have an off day, or a perennial touring player may pop off for a round or a full weekend.
One thing that I did notice is that in each of these, Paul McBeth is a presence, finishing 2nd at Waco, Worlds, and the GBO, and finishing 3rd in the DGPT. Am I giving Paul too much credit and these aren't as big of an upset? As always, let me know in the comments.
May your discs miss all the trees,
Andrew Streeter #70397

'My boyfriend dumped me after I brought him to Dubai, he was picked up from airport by another lady'
Cynthia Goba
Dear Aunty Lisa
Hello aunty, how are you? Well, I hope you are doing fine.
My boyfriend was deported from UK about fifteen years ago and since then he has been doing nothing in Bulawayo.
When he was about twenty-two he was caught stealing in UK and that was how he was deported.
Since then I would come over to see him in Zimbabwe a couple of times, I assisted him in setting up businesses for him on different occasions, he always ended up going bankrupt so we discussed and he said it was better he came over to join me in Dubai, UAE. That was how I triiggered a tedious process of getting his travel documents ready. It took me about a year with a huge budget.
Finally, months ago his papers came out, I still went out of my way to pay his ticket, send him money for logistics and other things he needed to put in place before coming.
When he arrived in Dubai, to my surprise, another lady came to pick him up.
Since then till now I have not seen him. This was the same person that said he knows no one in Dubai.

Facebook will no longer flag potentially false news articles with a "disputed" tag, the social media company announced Monday. The announcement comes in response to a study that found that the flags actually encouraged some users to click the links. "Putting a strong image, like a red flag, next to an article may actually entrench deeply held beliefs—the opposite effect to what we intended," Facebook wrote in a Monday post.

Q: How can I create a select query that returns columns and rows and then combines some of the columns into XML In TSQL is there a function to select a row as normal and then as an aliased column return some of those fields in XML format.
I'm creating an error log and I'd like to insert into a table the Primary key as a standard column and then some of the fields in the table as combined xml.  I'm pretty new to dealing with xml and I've found out how to return xml data but not as a aliased column of a select query.
Is this possible?  I apologise if this has been answered already.  I have a feeling I just don't know what the right search terms are.
Thanks!

A: You can use a sub-select with FOR XML to to this, something along the lines of this;
select
    id,
    column1,
    column2,
    column3,
    (select
        column4,
        column5,
        column6
     from
        my_table t2
     where
        t2.id = t1.id
     for xml path, type) as columnx
from
    my_table t1


These red velvet white chocolate chip cookies are great for the holidays and Valentine's Day. It's practically "red velvet season", don't you think? These cookies are delicious and easy to make as any other cookie.
With a delicate crispy crunch of the outside and a perfectly chewy inside, there's nothing I'd change about them. Red velvet and white chocolate are a perfect combination. The cookies lend a mild chocolate flavor, giving them that iconic red velvet taste. If you love red velvet cake, you're sure to love these cookies.
1. Preheat oven to 325° F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar for 5 minutes on high, until light and fluffy.2. Mix in egg, vanilla, and vinegar. Stop the mixer, scrape down the sides, and mix some more to ensure everything is mixed together.3. With the mixer on low, slowly add all the dry ingredients. Once all dry ingredients are incorporated, add the white chocolate chip to the cookie dough.4. Roll balls of dough about 2 tablespoons-full, 6 cookies to a sheet, and bake at 325° for about 20 minutes. Take the cookies out when the centers still look undone, and let them continue to bake and cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes before removing.

Copyright version 1920, sheet bronze.
Smithsonian Art Inventory Control Number: 47260079.
In City Park in downtown Gallipolis.
The inscription on the plaque reads:
DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF
THE VALIANT SONS OF GALLIA COUNTY
WHO SERVED IN THE WORLD WAR
1917 --- 1918
ERECTED BY
TO LAFAYETTE POST NO. 27
"GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS,
THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS."
ST. JOHN 15:13
The sculpture was purchased and installed by the Women's Auxiliary of American Legion Lafayette Post 27.
A large crowd was present at the presentation ceremony and dedication of the Doughboy, which was performed by Mrs. James Oliver, whose son, Johnny, had joined the service while still in high school. When his class graduated from high school in 1918, an empty chair had been draped with a flag to honor him and Mrs. Oliver accepted his diploma for him. He was later killed in the Meuse-Argonne Campaign in the Argonne Forest.
In the past, the Doughboy lost his left hand, rifle and bayonet, and was painted in acts of vandalism. The left hand and rifle have been replaced, and the paint has been removed, but the bayonet is still missing. The sculpture has some discoloring and could benefit from restoration work. Also, the replaced rifle is not a replica of the Springfield 1903 found on most other Viquesney Doughboys, and looks quite different from them.
Although the Gallia Hometown Herald stated in a 10/3/2012 article that this sculpture was the 62nd one manufactured, at least 100 had already been installed and dedicated in other cities before the May 30, 1931, Gallipolis dedication date (see our Arrivals/Dedications page).
The statue received a dry ice blast cleaning and a waxing in October, 2012. The work was sponsored by the Gallia County Veterans Service Commission.
