If you're looking for a pressure washing service in Reno, you've come to the right place. We want to be your go-to business when it comes to all things aesthetic on your property. As a professional pressure washing business, we assure you that your property will be shining like new when we're done.
Not only is A Quality Decision Service a professional commercial landscaping business in Northern Nevada, but we are also proud to say that we offer the best pressure washing services. Our team is made up of highly-trained professionals who can transform your outdoor eye-sores into outstanding pieces of art.
If you have an area that needs pressure washed, contact us. We can inspect the area and ensure that when we leave, the place is sparkling.
Pressure washing is the use of high-pressure water (powered by high-pressure air) to clean a surface. It is so powerful, that it can actually strip layers of wood. In fact, it has even been proven to reduce layers of brick walls if it's not used correctly. It is a quick and efficient way to truly get a surface clean. However, pressure washing must always be used correctly to achieve optimal results. Count on us for that part.
If you've landed on this page, one thing is for sure. You're evidently looking for a pressure washing service in or near the Reno, Nevada area. However, you may not know everything there is to know about pressure washing.
Pressure washing is a fast and incredibly efficient way to clean up your property's sidewalks, walkways, building walls, fences and more. Power washing is quite common in the commercial food business, as there is constantly grime and grease building up in those areas. However, pressure washing is certainly not limited to such businesses.
Many people will choose pressure washing when they are looking to freshen up their outdoor appearance. Pressure washing is a great solution to build-up on outdoor surfaces such as brick, concrete, or wood. It is even quite common for cleaning fences and wood decks.
If you're looking to paint your building, fence, deck, sidewalk, or other outdoor areas, you'll need to clean the area thoroughly. Without a clean and smooth surface, paint will chip and result in a poor appearance.
How hard can it be, right? You go to the hardware store, rent a pressure washer and get to work. Woopty doo. Unfortunately, this is how a lot of people think. Don't worry, we respect you for the initiative, but you need to stop and think.
Pressure washing is super awesome, yes. However, too often it is used incorrectly. Sometimes it can cause more harm than good. When we are at your location we will always inspect the area before beginning any work. If we determine that it is unsafe or not in the best interest to power wash that area, we will inform you and make another suggestion.
Some examples of pressure washing disasters are busting windows, forcing water behind siding, stripping paint, stripping layers of wood, damaging window panes, and more. Many times, people will pressure wash a sided house with an extremely high psi setting. This can damage the siding and actually result in forcing water behind the siding. This will ultimately lead to mold.
When we say "power" washing, we mean it. This isn't stuff to mess around with and it can become a total disaster for a person who has never used a pressure washer before.
The threat of personal injury or damage to your home should never be overlooked. Injuries and catastrophes regarding pressure washing are actually more common than you might think. Deaths have even occurred during a pressure washing job. An example of this would be when a person tries to pressure wash their building from a ladder. This is very dangerous. You cannot keep a hand on the ladder and control the power washer at the same time. A power washer requires two hands and some muscle to maintain balance. Many people are surprised by the power that a pressure washer can let out.
Look, our team spent many months and even years training. We've trained hard to be the best commercial landscaping business in Northern Nevada. Our guys can come to your property, take a look at it and know immediately what the solution is.
We can adjust psi on pressure washers accordingly to prevent any damage. ADQ can maintain control of the pressure washers and offer solutions to heights that are seemingly impossible to reach. Our team will use safe and appropriate cleaning chemicals as needed.
The great thing about us is that we are not just a pressure washing company. This is only one of many services that we offer. If, during our initial inspection, we determine that pressure washing should not be used, we can offer another solution. That's our job. That's what we do.
Our goal is to get on a first name basis with you. When your business is in need of outdoor landscaping, cleaning or aesthetics, we want you to call us. We want to be your guys.
When we are on your property we will always treat you, your employees and business guests with respect. We will always show up on time and dressed appropriately for the job. We are not afraid to get our hands dirty, but we do strive to maintain a professional appearance.
If you've had a recent pressure washing experience with us, we encourage you to reach out and let us know how we did. Submit a testimonial to share what you liked. If you had a poor experience with us, please contact us to discuss it with us so that we can find ways to improve.
It's people like you who keep our business going. You make it possible for us to do our dream jobs. So let's do this. Call us today to schedule an appointment.

If you follow us on Facebook and Twitter, you may have seen me put out a request recently for some happier history fare. I'd spent the weeks leading up to that request researching the Doctors' Riot, the Battle of Blair Mountain and the subject of today's episode - the Tulsa race riot of 1921, also known as the destruction of Black Wall Street. Holly and I have to pause our recording because we've become emotional often enough that it's become kind of a running joke between us. This is the first time I've had to pause my research for that reason. I'd never heard of the event before listeners requested it, in part because it was deliberately swept under the rug for nearly half a century after it took place.
The population in and around Tulsa, Oklahoma, boomed prior to 1921, thanks to the discovery of oil in the area. The Tulsa suburb of Greenwood grew into a thriving African-American community thanks to a combination of segregation and black entrepreneurship. On May 31 and June 1, a mob of white Tulsa citizens, including sworn law enforcement and members of the National Guard, burned it down after being thwarted in their attempt to lynch a young black man for a crime he did not commit. Thousands lost their homes, and hundreds died.
Our listener mail is from Francie about our episode on the Grove Park Inn episode.

Washington— Congress needs to pressure TV-station owners to postpone cable carriage disputes until after the government-mandated digital television transition in February, according to National Cable & Telecommunications Association president Kyle McSlarrow.
"I would urge this committee to make clear in unmistakable terms to broadcasters around the country that the digital transition is not business as usual," McSlarrow said in testimony before the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Internet Sept. 16.
Rep. Charles Gonzalez (D-Texas) indicated support for Martin's quiet period. "That's the end game here — it's not to give advantage to any particular stakeholder," he said.
Eshoo disagreed. "I think we should start sooner and stretch it out a little later," she said.

2020 US President– the best Irish-American hopeful?
1 like 9 months ago
Who will be the next best Irish-American President of the USA? Joe Biden, Mike Pence, John Delaney, or Beto O'Rourke?
22 US Presidents claim to have Irish roots.
Colin Carroll
Show me an American President who wasn't Irish? It's tricky as half of all US Presidents claim to have Irish roots!
There's a well-established tradition of Irish-American Presidents jetting across the Atlantic to celebrate an Irish ancestor who fled the Irish Famine to America. Remember 1963 when crowds in Dunganstown, County Wexford, mobbed JFK? Then there was 1984, when Ronald Reagan made a trip to Ballyporeen in County Tipperary and waxed lyrical about his Irishness. And don't forget the 22nd US President to claim Irish ancestry - Barack Obama! In 2011 he touched down in Moneygall in County Offaly to sip a pint of Guinness with relatives of his great-great-great-great grandfather, the shoemaker, Falmouth Kearney!
When Donald Trump's time is up in the White House, who will make the next best Irish-American President of the US?
Mike Pence, Republican
As Vice-President, Michael Richard Pence is a staunch ally of Donald Trump and, although he hasn't declared his candidacy, if Trump isn't in the frame for 2020 – or if he dies in office - Pence would step in. Given how it costs between $1 and $2 billion to run for president, being friends with the Koch brothers means Pence can rival any presidential bid in financial firepower.
Mike Pence's grandfather, Richard Michael Cawley, came from Tubercurry in County Sligo. The twenty-year old fled war and poverty in Europe and arrived in America via Ellis Island on April 11, 1923. He settled in Chicago where he became a bus driver. He married Mary Elizabeth Maloney whose family hailed from Doonbeg in County Clare – where coincidentally Donald Trump owns a golf course - and became an American citizen in 1941. Mike Pence was close to his grandfather, who was only 56 when he was born and died when Pence was in his 20s. Apparently, Pence's grandfather - who he was named after – even taught him how to recite 'Humpty Dumpty' in Irish.
Of his maternal grandfather Pence said: "He got off that boat an Irish lad, he died an American, and I am an American because of him."
Joe Biden, Democrat
The 76-year-old hasn't ruled himself in for 2020 but neither has ex-VP ruled himself out!
A proud Irish-American, Biden's great-grandfather, James Finnegan, emigrated from the Cooley Peninsula in Couth Louth in 1850. Indeed 10 of his 16 great-great-grandparents were Irish born, all forced to emigrate during the Irish famine.
While some contenders to the Presidential throne have tenuous Irish roots, Biden is the real deal, being five eights Irish! In a visit to Ireland in 2016 in his capacity as Vice-President, he said: "Over the course of my life, I've been a lot of places. I've traveled all around the world – more than a million miles on Air Force Two alone. I've been honored to have held a lot of titles. But I have always been and will always be the son of Kitty Finnegan. The grandson of Geraldine Finnegan from St. Paul's Parish in Scranton; a proud descendant of the Finnegans of Ireland's County Louth."
Although he failed in presidential bids in 1988 and 2008, might his third time be lucky? For all his charm and political skill, if he won, he'd be 78 years old at inauguration.
John K Delaney, Democrat
John K Delaney's ascent has been extraordinary by any measure. The son of a New Jersey electrician whose grandfather was a dockworker who came from Ireland, Delaney obtained scholarships to attend university and started two companies, both of which became publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange, only stepping down as CEO when he was elected Congressman.
Delaney was proud of his Irish roots and described his father's Irish spirit when he passed on: "As a boy he was the strongest person I knew and would marvel at him always winning arm wrestling competitions, performing feats of strength for his buddies, and never backing down to anything or anyone."
Beto O'Rourke, Democrat
Robert Francis O'Rourke, born in El Paso, Texas, came to national attention in 2018 when he narrowly missed out on becoming a US Senator to Ted Cruz.
With the catchiest of Irish-sounding names, he has courted controversy over his use of the nickname 'Beto', shorthand for 'Roberto' among Mexicans. Apparently 'Beto' stuck to him since he was a child and isn't a cynical ploy for Hispanics to vote for him. But why did Beto call his own first child 'Ulysses'? Was it really after a character in Homer's 'The Odyssey' or might it have more to do with James Joyce's opus 'Ulysses'?
Beto's father was El Paso County Judge, Pat Francis O'Rourke. His great-great-great-grandfather was Bernard O'Rourke, who was born in Ireland in 1832. Proud of his claim to being 4thgeneration Irish, it nevertheless seems that Beto has never actually visited the Old Sod! Is it a similar case of his nickname, 'Beto', sounding Spanish although he's not? Hardly, because not even Donald Trump denies Beto's Irish heritage, tweeting that "he's an Irish guy pretending to be Hispanic". The GOP were upbraided on St Patrick's Day for making fun of O'Rourke's Irishness by tweeting a mug-shot of him from his 1998 drink-driving arrest with a leprechaun hat and playing on drunken Irish stereotypes.
While Kanye West is likely to claim 100% Irishness, George Clooney will probably wait until 2024 to enter the fray and when his children are older.

Q: CSS changing positive values in green within the table I have this CSS code which works great right now:
/* make the cells output their value */
td[data-monetary-amount]:after {
  content: attr(data-monetary-amount);
}

/* make debit amounts show up in red */
td[data-monetary-amount^="-"]:after {
  color: red;
}

and the table code:

    %entry%:

Right now it changes the color in red when it contains a "-" character.
All other positive values are shown in a default color.
Since in my case, all other values are positive, how do I change that anything that's over 0 (without the "+") would display in a green color?
For example, if it's:
2
5
7
it would be colored green?
Thanks a lot.

A: Just make green the "default" color by specifying the color property in the first css selector properties like this:

td[data-monetary-amount]:after {
  content: attr(data-monetary-amount);
  color: green;
}

td[data-monetary-amount^="-"]:after {
  color: red;
}

This girl is our best fleeced and colored one so far! We are very excited about her and this is our first full Bolivian by JLL Midas. She has super silky almost suri fiber even down her legs. She was 24.6 pounds out of our 37 inch mini Chrissy! This girl will more than likely be a keeper for our breeding program.
We sadly lost me dam this fall when Cloe was 3.5 months, Cloe will not be for sale.
Update: Cloe is growing into a beautiful female with a amazing personality. She is very friendly and comes over to get some attention and a good chin rub. She went on her first hike with our local llama group and could care less about small kids come over to pet her, she seemed very happy with he whole event. Then we took her to try obstacles and she followed me through everything, including an obstacle that was holding icee water. She is probably one of our most trusting llamas we have. She will be going on another hike next month! She got both her parents sweet personalities. Can't wait to get her in the show ring!
We have bred Cloe one last time and if she does not settle, then she will be available as a fancy fiber girl.

particular, had so contrived it, that the stranger should for so great a space of time be debarred the means of doing justice to his brother, until, by the same blow that revenged the death of one innocent man, he preserved the life of another.ADDISON. From 1672 to 1719.
SIR ROGER DE COVERLEY.
A man who preserves a respect, founded on his benevolence to his dependents, lives rather like a prince than a master in his family : his orders are received as favours rather than duties; and the distinction of approaching him is part of the reward for executing what is commanded by him.
There is another circumstance in which my friend excels in his management, which is the manner of rewarding his servants ; he has ever been of opinion that giving his cast clothes to be worn by valets has a very ill effect upon
little minds, and creates a silly sense of equality between the parties, in persons affected only with outward things. I have heard him often pleasant on this occasion, and describe a young gentleman abusing his man in that coat which a month or two before was the most pleasing distinction he was conscious of in himself. . He would turn his discourse still more pleasantly upon the ladies' bounties of this kind; and I have heard him say he knew a fine woman who distributed rewards and punishments in giving becoming or unbecoming dresses to her maids. But my good friend is above these little instances of good will, in bestowing only trifles on his servants; a good servant to him is sure of having it in his choice very soon of being no servant at all. As I before observed, he is so good a husband, and knows so thoroughly that the skill of the purse is the cardinal virtue of this life; I say, he knows so well that frugality is the support of
generosity that he can often spare a large fine when a tenement falls, and give that settlement to a good servant who has a mind to go into the world, or make a stranger pay the fine to that servant, for his more comfortable maintenance, if he stays in his service.
A man of honour and generosity considers it would be miserable to himself to have no will but that of another, though it were of the best person breathing, and for that reason goes on as fast as he is able to put his servants into independent livelihoods. The greatest part of Sir Roger's estate is tenanted by persons who have served himself or his ancestors. It was to me extremely pleasant to observe the visitants from several parts to welcome his arrival into the country; and all the difference that I could take notice of between the late servants who came to see him, and those who stayed in the family, was that these latter were looked upon as finer gentlemen and better courtiers. This manumission and placing them in a way of livelihood I look upon as only what is due to a good servant, which encouragement will make his successor be as diligent, as humble, and as ready as he was. There is something wonderful in the narrowness of those minds which can be pleased, and be barren of bounty to those who please them.
One might, on this occasion, recount the sense that great persons in all ages have had of the merit of their dependents and the heroic services which men have done their masters in the extremity of their fortunes; and shown to their undone patrons that fortune was all the difference between them; but as I design this my speculation only as a gentle admonition to thankless masters, I shall not go out of the occurrences of common life, but assert it as a general observation that I never saw, but in Sir Roger's family, and one or two more, good servants treated as they ought to be. Sir Roger's kindness extends to their children's children, and this very morning he sent his coachman's grandson to prentice.ADDISON.
CICERO.
CICERO saw this memorable entry of his countryman, Marius, who, in that advanced age, was so far from being broken, he says, by his late calamity, that he seemed to be more alert and vigorous than ever, when he heard him recounting to the people, in excuse for the cruelty of his return, the many miseries which he had lately suffered :—that he was driven from that country which he had saved from destruction ;that all his estate was seized and plundered by his enemies;
—that he saw his young son also the partner of his distress ;—that he was almost drowned in the marshes, and owed his life to the mercy of the Minturnensians ;—that he was forced to fly into Afric in a small bark, and become a suppliant to those to whom he had given kingdoms; but thatsince he had recovered his dignity, and all the rest that he had lost, it should be his care not to forfeit that virtue and courage which he had never lost. Marius and Cinna having thus got the Republic into their hands, declared themselves Consuls ; but Marius died unexpectedly, as
soon almost as he was inaugurated into his new dignity, on the 13th of January, in the 70th year of his age; and, according to the most probable account, of a pleuritic fever.
His birth was obscure, though some call it Equestrian, and his education wholly in camps, where he learnt the first rudiments of war under the greatest master of that age, the younger Scipio, who destroyed Carthage; till, by long service, distinguished valour, and a peculiar hardiness and patience of discipline, he advanced himself gradually through all the steps of military honour, with the reputation of a brave and complete soldier. The obscurity of his extraction, which depressed him with the nobility, made him the greater favourite of the people, who, on all occasions of danger, thought him the only man fit to be trusted with their lives and fortunes, or
to have the command of a difficult and desperate war; and, in truth, he twice delivered them from the most desperate with which they had ever been threatened by a foreign enemy. Scipio, from the observation of his martial talents, while he had yet but an inferior command in the army, gave a kind of prophetic testimony of his future glory; for being asked by some of his officers, who were supping with him at Numantia, what General the Republic would have in case of any accident to himself, That Man:-replied he, pointing to Marius at the bottom of the table. In the field he was cautious and provident, and, while he was watching the most favourable opportunities of action, affected to take all his measures from augurs and diviners : nor ever gave battle till, by pretended omens and divine admonitions, he had inspired his soldiers with a confidence of victory, so that his enemies dreaded him as something more than mortal; and both friends and foes believed him to act always by a peculiar impulse and direction from the gods. His merit, however, was wholly military, void of every accomplishment of learning, which he openly affected to despise ; so that Arpinum had the singular felicity to produce the most glorious contemner, as well as the most illustrious improver, of the arts and eloquence of Rome. He made no figure, therefore, in the gown, nor had any other
way of sustaining his authority in the city, than by cherishing the natural jealousy between the Senate and the people; that, by his declared enmity to the one, he might always be at the head of the other, whose favour he managed, not with any view to the public good—for he had nothing in him of the statesman or the patriot—but to the advancement of his private interest and glory. In short, he was crafty, cruel, covetous, perfidious; of a temper and talents greatly serviceable abroad, but turbulent and dangerous at home; an implacable enemy to the nobles, ever seeking occasions to mortify them; and ready to sacrifice the Republic, which he had saved, to his ambition and revenge. After a life spent in the perpetual toils of foreign or domestic wars, he died at last in his bed, in a good old age, and in his seventh Consulship-an honour that no Roman before him ever attained; which is urged by Cotta, the Academic, as one argument, amongst others, against the existence of a Providence.-MIDDLETON'S Life of Cicero. From 1683 to 1750.
THE fate of Rome was now brought to a crisis, and the contending parties were making their last efforts, either to oppress or preserve it: Cicero was the head of those who stood up for its liberty, which entirely depended on the influence of his counsels; he had many years, therefore, been the common mark of the rage and malice of all who were aiming at illegal powers, or a tyranny in the state ; and while these were generally supported by the military power of the Empire, he had no other arms or means of defeating them but his authority with the Senate and people, grounded on the experience of his services, and the persuasion of his integrity; so that, to obviate the perpetual calumnies of the factious, he was obliged to inculcate the merit and good effects of his counsels: in order to confirm people in their union and adherence to them, against the intrigues of those who were employing all arts to subvert them. The frequent commemoration of his acts, says Quintilian, was not made so much for glory as for defence : to repel calumny, and vindicate his measures when they were attacked. And this is what Cicero himself declared in all his speeches, "That no man ever heard him speak of himself but when he was forced to it; that when he was urged with fictitious crimes, it was his custom to answer them with his real services; and if ever he said anything glorious of himself, it was not thro' a fondness

It may be common for a complying superannuation fund to own premises used in the business of a 'related' entity, for example, business real property. However, as the members or trustees of the fund (who typically also control the 'related' entity) do not control the fund in the manner required, the related entity is not a connected entity and, therefore, the business real property is not an active asset.
The retirement exemption requires amounts to be immediately contributed into a complying superannuation fund or a retirement savings account (RSA) if the recipient is younger than 55 years old when they make a choice to use the retirement exemption. This is an important requirement: failure to immediately pay the amount to a complying superannuation fund or RSA will mean the conditions are not satisfied and the retirement exemption will not be available.

Lemongrass belongs to the grass family, it is a well-known plant in Asia, Africa and Australia. A full grown plant is 1-3 meter tall with long straight leaves form into a big bunch. Lemongrass has been used as a cooking ingredient and medicine for a long time because of a wide range of beneficial effects. Other than that, a crisp, clean scent that reassembles the scent of lemon is lemongrass most significant characteristic and it helps provide an energy boost when used in perfume or fragrance oil.
You can easily buy fresh or frozen, whole or chopped lemongrass in supermarkets or local markets and they are available all year round. Lemongrass products such as herbal tea or essential oil are also easy to find.
So what exactly do people use lemongrass for and what are its health benefits? This article will represent some of lemongrass best-known properties.
There are millions of microorganisms living peacefully on our body and in the surrounding environment, but sometimes, under specific conditions, they can cause infection and diseases that are harmful to our health. A number of studies had indicated that lemongrass extract can prevent infection due to its anti-microbial property. It can also interfere with the growth of bacteria and fungi once the infection already happened. In order to obtain this valuable benefit of lemongrass, you can apply the essential oil topically or use oral rinse products with lemongrass extract.
In addition to the inhibition of microorganism, lemongrass is believed to have the ability to reduce inflammation and as a result, relieve pain. It can demonstrate a good effect on conditions related to joint pain such as arthritis, osteoarthritis and gout and physical damage like sprains, bruises, dislocation. Although further studies need to be taken to provide more evidence, lemongrass is still a great choice for people who are looking for a solution in dealing with those conditions.
Lemongrass can be used to relieve the unwanted symptoms related to the digestive system such as vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, poor digestion and diarrhea. For example, it is recommended to be used in combination with ginger to treat diarrhea.
Lemongrass shows effective actions in dealing with a common cold and its symptoms, which includes a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat and tiredness. The reason for that lies in lemongrass ability to inhibit microorganism growth. Additionally, it also contains vitamin C, which acts as an "immunity booster" that helps you to fight the disease. You can make a cup of tea with a small piece of ginger, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 stalks of finely chopped lemongrass and drink it twice a day.
Another health benefit belongs to lemongrass is its effect in soothing period cramps and promoting menstrual flow. Women suffer from difficult and painful menstruation can use lemongrass tea as a safe and inexpensive natural home remedy.
Lemongrass tea can be a useful herbal drink when one needs to lower their blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause a number of dangerous conditions such as stroke, heart attack or atherosclerosis. Consumption of lemongrass helps reduce the amount of cholesterol absorbed from the intestine and, as a result, decrease blood cholesterol level.
Other than that, lemongrass essential oil possesses a tropical, refreshing, clean and energizing scent which is really pleasant. A lot of people enjoy this lemonlike fragrance and it is easy to understand why lemongrass extract is used so commonly in perfumes, deodorants and personal hygiene products.
While the health benefits of lemongrass are various and valuable, its side effects and safety concerns are still worth considering prior to each use. Generally speaking, lemongrass is safe to use orally or on the skin. However, it should not be abused in large quantity and pregnant women are recommended to avoid using lemongrass and its related products because it may cause miscarriage.

The Western Front Association's Pension Record Card and Ledger archive which has been published online by Ancestry is a magnificent set of never-seen before material which massively helps those looking for 'Great Uncle Bill' to not track down their relative but also put a little bit of extra information on the serviceman's story.
It has been said before, but is worth repeating: had the WFA not stepped in to save these records, they would have been destroyed and an incredibly valuable resource for present and future generations of researchers would have been lost forever.
The records are particularly helpful for those trying to find a relative about whom little is known and where either no 'burnt series' records survive or the Medal Index Cards do not provide sufficient evidence to narrow down the candidates to a particular soldier. This is because the WFA's Pension Records - uniquely - bring together military details (regiment and regimental number) with home addresses and next of kin details. It is therefore possible, using knowledge of one's family, to narrow down candidates to the 'correct' man.
It is also possible to search, for example, a location - so by typing in the town of 'Dewsbury' numerous records come up for men (who were both killed and survived) from this town. There are of course limitations here: the handwriting on the records can sometimes defy interpretation. There are many cards where even after studying the card or ledger, it is still impossible to read the original handwriting and interpretation is only possible by taking time to undertake searches via (for example) the CWGC website to tease out the true detail. Such is the joy of this kind of research! It is also of note that if men were from a suburb of a town, this suburb is often recorded on the original document rather than the main urban centre.
The simplest way to use this archive is of course simply by typing in a surname and seeing what comes up.
We can, for example look at the famous case of John Condon - allegedly the youngest soldier to be killed in the great war. A Pension card for Condon (note - at the time of writing these cards are not yet published by Ancestry - these will come later) is shown below
The ledger relating to the pension claim by Condon's dependents is here (note: this is one of the newly released records ancestry have just published)
There is also William Ridley (the actor who played Private Godfrey in Dad's Army) whose ledger is shown here
A more infamous name is that of the mass-murdered Reginald Christie (of 10 Rillington Place). At his trial his war time medical condition was brought up, and Christie claimed his injuries (apparently from mustard gas) left him permanently unable to speak loudly. Later in life, he also claimed the attack had rendered him blind and mute for three and a half years. His period of muteness was, he claimed, the reason for his inability to talk much louder than a whisper for the rest of his life. None of this is borne out by the ledger showing his claim for a post war pension.
It is likely that WFA members will be keen to explore the pensions awarded to those men who were awarded the Victoria Cross. A note of caution is needed here, as it is believed that those with a VC were awarded a pension that may have been under a different scheme to the 'ordinary' award. Certainly, the locating of pension records for VC winners has been a bit 'hit and miss' but a number of records have been found. We have Arnold Loosemore who earned his VC for actions on 11 August 1917.
His is one of the cases for whom multiple ledgers can be found. Some are cross referenced to each other, as shown in the three images below:
Another soldier who was awarded the VC was Thomas Whitham. He also survived the war.
On this record we see mention of the award of the Victoria Cross.
On the other hand there's Horace Waller who was killed in the action that led to the award of his posthumous VC.
This record below is again the card rather than the ledger (the cards will be published in the course of 2019)
Horace Waller's ledger (shown below) again makes no reference to the award of his VC
The records of those men who were executed after undergoing a FGCM (Field General Court Martial) are also a little 'patchy', but for different reasons. It is likely that some pensions were not paid to the next of kin of these men, but it is believed that there was a change in policy which subsequently meant pensions were paid. WFA members reading this may wish to undertake further study into this matter. Below is the record of one example which may be worth highlighting among the over 300 men who were shot at dawn. William Baker (22635) of the Royal Fusiliers was executed on 14 August 1918
The ledger here states his death due to being 'shot'. There is no reference to him having been executed.
Some men have only recently become well known. There is the case of the very first professional footballer from the English leagues to be killed. Larrett Roebuck was killed early in the war, he played for Huddersfield Town. [Read the full story of Larrett Roebuck here]
His ledger is here
Another famous sporting son of Huddersfield is Douglas Clark. Douglas played Rugby League, survived the war, and was later a champion wrestler. [There is a superb video about Douglas Clark on the WFA's YouTube channel here]
Below: The Ledger for Douglas Clark showing various addresses and details of his wartime injuries.
The above are of course some of the more well known men who served - and in some cases died - in the first world war. For each famous (or infamous) man there were many thousands of ordinary men and it is the records of these, such as these three 'ordinary' men below, that be of greatest interest to those looking for 'great uncle Bill'

The main point clock varieties have opting for them is quantity prices, though the clockmaker may additionally find numerous various other way to place them to utilize. Normally, clock varieties include a sampling of basically every little thing, so it is inescapable that some leftover components will certainly never be made use of. However, if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages the bulk acquisition leads to an internet gain.
Clock selections have three main functions: (a) to help with building, as a hobby or for retail, sets of clocks with a variety of sizes and also styles, (b) to develop a resale business of mass parts to fellow clockmakers, and (c) to provide an accumulation that can be brought into play to change missing or damaged components in existing wrist watches. The variety is generally restricted to hands as well as dials; seldom will you obtain clock activities, instances, or accessories. For this reason, it is insufficient for setting up from square one a whole clock.
However, if you are looking to the selection as a sort of streamlined setting up without the tiresome trouble of finding inconsonant clock parts individually, after that perhaps you must examine obtaining a clock kit. That is a quick, cost-effective, and also reasonably painless strategy, as well as you won't have any type of items left over. You simply have to want to accept the styles and also shades of the components included in the package.
Economic climate is additionally had with varieties (their main advantage) however they actually attend to a various set of demands. One doesn't need to compromise much of anything, able to pick among different kinds of varieties and also select elements from within that choice. Then one could mix and match creatively in different mixes and even customize the parts with paint, attached styles, or comparable adjustments.
There are selections of clock dials, ones of hand pairs (i.e., minute hand + hr hand), and others of useds. These take place to be the most noticeable elements, the ones more than likely to damage or require replacement, those with striking stylistic features, as well as those readily compatible. Each set consists of various designs, sizes, and colors.
Currently, a selection is not necessarily extensively extensive, specifically when it concerns dimensions. Few timepieces are larger compared to 8 inches in diameter, so the collections you find on the market have the tendency to max out there (i.e., minute hands range from concerning 7″ downward). If you want a huge wall or tower clock, you'll have to build it from individual components.
Dial arrays have a similar dimension range, approximately between 4.5 inches and also 8 inches. You typically see six to 8 dials in the collection, made out of styrene. The history colors or usually ivory or white; the lettering vary between Arabic and also Roman characters.
We have currently reviewed the dimension variety for hand pair assortments. These collections are available in a variety of shades and also designs, and with around 25 pairs consisted of. Previously owned arrays also run in sets of 25, as well as they additionally come in a variety of designs and shades.
Since we understand what to anticipate from each type of assortment, allow's revisit the 3 primary purposes discussed on top of this article and also see exactly how the sets might be applied. The first function is to build a set of distinctive clocks. The hand pair variety dimension recommends that the collection dimension need to be in multiples of 25, with 3-4 dial selections gotten for every hand set and used array.
The second objective is to retail parts to others, treating the different assortments as stock. As certain styles, colors, or sizes get depleted, one would need to live for some time without particular items or potentially develop excess supply. The same issue applies to the 3rd objective, particularly, stockpiling replacements for damaged components.
Selections, packages, as well as fit-ups all offer alternatives to building clocks from scratch or to getting them already made. To differentiate among these 3 we have actually emphasized the volume advantages of clock assortments.


NiCAT cluster member SmartNet Technologies set the theme for the graduate thesis for student of Faculty of Electronic Engineering (Department of Computer Science), University of Nis. The theme was "Development of applications for exchange information processing and support to brokerage business".
It is a modern technology that enables the development of applications for the purpose of processing the exchange information, primarily ASP.NET MVC and Microsoft SQL Server. With the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Leonid Stoimenov, candidate Zeljko Kalezic successfully defended his work, and this is just another example of successful cooperation between economy and science. SmartNet Technologies will continue to focus itself on recognition of the people in the earliest stage of their careers, providing them with the resources they need to create something new and innovative. Therefore, their transition from science to business will be optimal and painless, and they will be able to put the knowledge they gained through the years of study to some meaningful work. We encourage them to do so in any case.

The judicial usurpation of politics
First Things November 1996 symposium, The Judicial Usurpation of Politics, might as well have been written today:
Articles on "judicial arrogance" and the "judicial usurpation of power" are not new. The following symposium addresses those questions, often in fresh ways, but also moves beyond them. The symposium is, in part, an extension of the argument set forth in our May 1996 editorial, "The Ninth Circuit's Fatal Overreach." The Federal District Court's decision favoring doctor-assisted suicide, we said, could be fatal not only to many people who are old, sick, or disabled, but also to popular support for our present system of government.
This symposium addresses many similarly troubling judicial actions that add up to an entrenched pattern of government by judges that is nothing less than the usurpation of politics. The question here explored, in full awareness of its far-reaching consequences, is whether we have reached or are reaching the point where conscientious citizens can no longer give moral assent to the existing regime.
Americans are not accustomed to speaking of a regime. Regimes are what other nations have. The American tradition abhors the notion of the rulers and the ruled. We do not live under a government, never mind under a regime; we are the government. The traditions of democratic self-governance are powerful in our civics textbooks and in popular consciousness. This symposium asks whether we may be deceiving ourselves and, if we are, what are the implications of that self-deception. By the word "regime" we mean the actual, existing system of government. The question that is the title of this symposium is in no way hyperbolic. The subject before us is the end of democracy.
Since the defeat of communism, some have spoken of the end of history. By that they mean, inter alia, that the great controversies about the best form of governance are over: there is no alternative to democracy. Perhaps that, too, is wishful thinking and self-deception. Perhaps the United States, for so long the primary bearer of the democratic idea, has itself betrayed that idea and become something else. If so, the chief evidence of that betrayal is the judicial usurpation of politics.
Politics, Aristotle teaches, is free persons deliberating the question, How ought we to order our life together? Democratic politics means that "the people" deliberate and decide that question. In the American constitutional order the people do that through debate, elections, and representative political institutions. But is that true today? Has it been true for, say, the last fifty years? Is it not in fact the judiciary that deliberates and answers the really important questions entailed in the question, How ought we to order our life together? Again and again, questions that are properly political are legalized, and even speciously constitutionalized. This symposium is an urgent call for the repoliticizing of the American regime. Some of the authors fear the call may come too late.
The emergence of democratic theory and practice has a long and complicated history, and one can cite many crucial turning points. One such is the 1604 declaration of Parliament to James I: "The voice of the people, in the things of their knowledge, is as the voice of God." We hold that only the voice of God is to be treated as the voice of God, but with respect to political sovereignty that declaration is a keystone of democratic government. Washington, Madison, Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, and the other founders were adamant about the competence—meaning both the authority and capacity—of the people to govern themselves. They had no illusions that the people would always decide rightly, but they would not invest the power to decide in a ruling elite. The democracy they devised was a republican system of limited government, with checks and balances, including judicial review, and representative means for the expression of the voice of the people. But always the principle was clear: legitimate government is government by the consent of the governed. The founders called this order an experiment, and it is in the nature of experiments that they can fail.
The questions addressed have venerable precedent. The American experiment intended to remedy the abuses of an earlier regime. The Declaration of Independence was not addressed to "light and transient causes" or occasional "evils [that] are sufferable." Rather, it says: "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government and to provide new Guards for their future security." The following essays are certain about the "long train of abuses and usurpations," and about the prospect—some might say the present reality—of despotism. Like our authors, we are much less certain about what can or should be done about it.
The proposition examined in the following articles is this: The government of the United States of America no longer governs by the consent of the governed. With respect to the American people, the judiciary has in effect declared that the most important questions about how we ought to order our life together are outside the purview of "things of their knowledge." Not that judges necessarily claim greater knowledge; they simply claim, and exercise, the power to decide. The citizens of this democratic republic are deemed to lack the competence for self-government. The Supreme Court itself—notably in the Casey decision of 1992-has raised the alarm about the legitimacy of law in the present regime. Its proposed solution is that citizens should defer to the decisions of the Court. Our authors do not consent to that solution. The twelfth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Harlan Fiske Stone (1872-1946), expressed his anxiety: "While unconstitutional exercise of power by the executive or legislative branches of the Government is subject to judicial restraint, the only check upon our own exercise of power is our own sense of restraint." The courts have not, and perhaps cannot, restrain themselves, and it may be that in the present regime no other effective restraints are available. If so, we are witnessing the end of democracy.
I spoke with Charlie Camosy recently, and he commented on the strangeness that is Congress's obsession with, on the one hand, party-obsessed pitched battles, and on the other, deference to executive power in most of the ways that are of truly grave importance. In short, the legislative branch hasn't sought to check the executive branch for a very long time. And no one is checking the judicial branch.
A central reason for the political anxiety of American life since the end of the Cold War might be that "checks and balances" seem to no longer be in effect.

Castle Growth Continues in the Province of Quebec
Castle's focus on supporting the independent LBM retailer continues to impact all areas of Canada, including the province of Quebec where they announced a new Castle location. D.F. Rouleau located in historic Les Hauteurs, QC will open their doors as Castle Centre de Rénovation.
The business has been a staple in the community for almost 100 years and was purchased in 2014 by young and energetic entrepreneur Valérie Potvin. Valérie has cultivated her own unique brand of service in the community. She has worked diligently to successfully grow and expand the business over the past 6 years to include lumber, building materials and hardware.
Valérie and her husband Samuel were frustrated with their former group. They were not getting the support they needed and knew it was time to consider their options. After learning more about Castle, they knew their business was a good fit and could continue grow and stay independent.
"What I like best about the Castle business model is that Castle is focused on putting the member first and contributing to my future success. My plan is to continue growing my business, so I need to be part of a buying group that will support and enable my growth." Valérie Potvin, Owner
D.F. Rouleau's move to Castle will enable them to offer customers access to a wider range of products and give them a more competitive advantage.
"Being an entrepreneur is challenging. Independents aligned with banners or brands that do not support their individual needs will continue to face challenges. Castle has nearly six decades of absolute commitment to Independents in the home improvement segment. Our members are the most profitable in the industry. We welcome D.F Rouleau to the Castle family." Ken Jenkins, Castle President

Apple CEO Tim Cook came out as gay Thursday and said that fighting for equality is at the core of his personal and business ethos.
(AFP) Apple CEO Tim Cook came out as gay Thursday and said that fighting for equality is at the core of his personal and business ethos.
The head of the tech giant said his sexuality has never been a secret at his company, but acknowledging his homosexuality as a public statement about equality was "more important" than his privacy.
"Let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me," Cook said in a statement in Bloomberg Businessweek.
"I've had the good fortune to work at a company that loves creativity and innovation and knows it can only flourish when you embrace people's differences. Not everyone is so lucky," he said.
The Apple CEO said coming out was part of his personal fight to stand up for minorities, a value he said his company also embraces.
"Part of social progress is understanding that a person is not defined only by one's sexuality, race, or gender," he said.
"Being gay has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the minority and provided a window into the challenges that people in other minority groups deal with every day."
"We'll continue to fight for our values, and I believe that any CEO of this incredible company, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation, would do the same.
"And I will personally continue to advocate for equality for all people until my toes point up."
Cook took over as the head of Apple in 2011 after the death of former CEO Steve Jobs.
He has faced criticism for not maintaining Apple's lustre after the death of Jobs, who was hailed by fans as a visionary.
But the recent frenzy over the big screen iPhone 6 launch had some analysts applauding Apple's comeback as it seeks to carve out its niche in the increasingly popular "phablet" market.
Cook said that being gay was only part of his identity, and described himself as a "an engineer, an uncle, a nature lover, a fitness nut, a son of the South, a sports fanatic, and many other things."
He said he is inspired by civil rights champions Marin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, whose portraits hang in his office.

Sinovenator  ("Jäger aus China") ist eine Gattung von theropoden Dinosauriern aus der Gruppe der Troodontidae. Der Name setzt sich zusammen aus dem griechischen Σινάι "China, Chinese, Chinesisch" und dem lateinischen venator "Jäger". Das Tier hatte in etwa die Größe eines Huhns.

Die Funde stammen aus der Unterkreide und werden mit einem Alter von etwa 131 bis 123 Mio. Jahren datiert, was in etwa dem Zeitabschnitten Barremium und frühem Aptium entspricht. Die Fundstätte der beiden Fossilien befindet sich in der unteren Yixian-Formation in China. Der Holotyp von Sinovenator changii mit der Bezeichnung IVPP 12615 wurde 2002 von Xu, Norell, Wang, Mackovicky und Wu beschrieben. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen unvollständigen Schädel mit zerlegtem Skelett. Der andere Fund IVPP 12583 ist ein unvollständiges Skelett, das jedoch noch seinen ursprünglichen Zusammenhang aufweist. Das Institut für Wirbeltierpaläontologie und Paläoanthropologie der Chinesischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (IVPP) in Peking ist im Besitz dieser beiden Funde.

Sinovenator war ein basaler Troodontide und stellt er den bisher ältesten und am wenigsten entwickelten Vertreter dieser Verwandtschaftsgruppe dar (Hesperornithoides aus dem Kimmeridgium der Morrison-Formation in den Vereinigten Staaten ist zwar noch älter, dafür aber bereits wesentlich weiter entwickelt).

Sinovenator weist mit den primitivsten Vertretern der Dromaeosauridae und der Avialae übereinstimmende Merkmale auf, die eine gemeinsame Abstammung dieser drei Vertreter der Paraves nahelegen.

U.S. warships transit Taiwan Strait, China denounces 'provocation
U.S. warships transit Taiwan Strait, China denounces 'provocation' (Source Reuters)
Two U.S. warships sailed through the sensitive Taiwan Strait on Thursday drawing protest from Beijing, the second such mission this month and coming almost two weeks after a Chinese aircraft carrier group used the same waterway. China, which claims democratically run Taiwan as its own territory, has been angered by stepped-up U.S. support for the island, including arms sales and sailing warships through the Taiwan Strait, further souring Beijing-Washington relations. The U.S. Navy said the guided missile destroyers USS John S. McCain and USS Curtis Wilbur had "conducted a routine Taiwan Strait transit Dec. 31 in accordance with international law". "The ships' transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The United States military will continue to fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows." This is the 13th sailing through the strait by the U.S. Navy this year. China's Defence Ministry denounced the trip as "provocation" and "a show of force", adding Chinese ships and aircraft trailed the U.S. ships. The passage of the ships sent the wrong message to supporters of Taiwan independence and are a serious threat to peace and stability, it added. "The Chinese People's Liberation Army maintains a high level of alert at all times, responds to all threats and provocations at all times, and resolutely defends national sovereignty and territorial integrity," the ministry said.

Q: Sustituir caracteres en columna durante SELECT SQL Tengo una columna en mi base de datos que es algo así:
 -----------------
|     nombre      |
 -----------------
|   225/65/17  etc|
|  225/55C R17 etc|
|   xxx225/65 r16 |
|   235/65  17 etc|
|   etc 215/65 R17|
 -------------

Y necesito hacer un select buscando por nombre en el que el parámetro de búsqueda es por ejempplo 2256517, es decir, necesito substituir las / por un "nada" ''
EDITO:
Me he dado cuenta de que no todo está separado por una barra /, en algunos hay un espacio con una R en otros el el segundo "campo" acaba en una letra, espacio + otra letra...

A: Puedes utilizar la función de caracter REPLACE
En caso de querer filtrar la busqueda deberias incluirlo en el WHERE de la siguiente manera:
SELECT columna
FROM nombre_tabla
WHERE REPLACE(nombre,'/','')='2256517';

En caso de querer filtrar la salida deberías incluir la función en el SELECT:
SELECT REPLACE(columna,'/','') "Columna"
FROM nombre_tabla;

En caso de que contengan otros carácteres deberias de o cambiar la consulta y por lo tanto el replace o en caso que todos empiecen por 2 que es la sensación que me ha dado puedes utilizar RTRIM y LTRIM para eliminar los carácteres por la izquierda y la derech aque no te interesen. En tu caso sería algo así:
SELECT columna
FROM nombre_tabla
WHERE LTRIM(RTRIM(REPLACE(nombre,'/',''), 'r Rx'), 'r Rx')='2256517';

Esto eliminaría los caracteres a la izquierda y derecha que hay entre comillas cada uno por separado, ya solo haría falta jugar con el REPLACE, RTRIM y LTRIM hasta dar con la combinación dependiendo en las tuplas a obtener.

A: Puedes utilizar replace Replace
 select * from Tabla
  where replace(Campo,'/','') = '2256517'
