I Found Love In Macedonia!
South Carolina native Paula Cooper Trajkovski (TRY-KOV-SKI) decided to step out past her front door (the United States) to broaden her horizons.
Busily employed and working on a Master's Degree, Paula wasn't expecting to find love – especially not INTERRACIAL love. Instead, she says, "I found it all: I found love, work and fulfillment – in Macedonia!
She met her husband Bojan Trajkovski (BOY-YUN TRY-KOV-SKI) in 2009 while working as a contractor in Baghdad Iraq.
Bojan is Macedonian (you're gonna LOVE his accent!).
The two married in Dubrovnik, Croatia in July 2012.
Paula and Bojan now live in Skopje, Macedonia.
They are expecting a son this December (around the 13th).
Paula and her husband chatted with The Swirl World Podcast Co-Host Adrienne London Leach and discussed how they met and married.
Paula is currently trying to launch a small online boutique where she hopes to use it within a year after her launch to help women in need. She has also completed her 14-year duty in the Army Reserves May of 2014.
Here in The Swirl World, we're all about Black women living and loving well.
Right now, Paula is just soaking it all in.
She never thought that this is the path that life would lead her too, but it's working out and she is enjoying the ride.

6 Editor-Approved Sandals for Running Around N.Y.C.


Trends come and go and the best ones stick around for decades. They reflect changing lifestyle options and values of a culture. What was the norm yesterday quickly becomes an "old school" option as new products and services are created to meet the demand of customers seeking to improve their life?
Virtual reality fitness technology, standing desks and nap rooms are options available to consumers who are seeking healthy options for working, sleeping and exercising. Standing desks are not a new design concept for 2018, but have caught on and continue to stay in demand in response to a health-conscious working population that accepts the grim statistics about how unhealthy it is to sit for a typical eight-hour workday.
Training masks are designed to increase stamina during a workout session. The experience is likened to working out at high altitudes. Part of the appeal is the mask's ability to increase performance without adding time to the exercise regiment, making it a more efficient way to exercise.
Nap rooms are being touted as the perfect way to promote power naps which are considered to increase performance on the job. The Boss Magazine reports that nap rooms are currently available in Paris, London, New York City and Tokyo. These rooms are showing up on college campuses and many companies.
A task that many people hate is folding laundry. Based on this fact, there is now a washing machine that folds your laundry. They aren't cheap. Priced at $16,000, it will be interesting to see how many consumers leap on the bandwagon to splurge on this luxury item.
Waste is a major problem faced by contemporary consumers who enjoy exercising their right to purchase whatever they desire. Considering Americans and their insatiable thirst for coffee on the go, it was only a matter of time before edible coffee cups arrived to solve the substantial waste problem associated with all those coffee cups bought and thrown away every day.
Summer is that special season consumers shed their extra layers of clothing and spend their time on the beach and by the pool. Two products designed for seasonal use are face shades and playful floats to be used on the water. As quirky as both products are, they are practical and expected to sell well.
Who doesn't like to float comfortably atop a clear, blue pool on a hot sunny day. Floats shaped like wiener dogs and avocados appeal to many sensibilities, popular to a large group of shoppers seeking novelty gifts and toys.
Face shades are portable and compact and can be used anywhere, anytime as a way to protect your skin from the sun. Models come with a pillow cushion for added versatility.
If a consumer wants it, an entrepreneur will design it. Trends speak to the changing demands of a fickle public. No one knows what the future holds.


As I tune into this photo, I perceive a temple of higher learning.
There are neither male nor female qualities present — the two energies seem to be integrated.
There is talk about intelligence being a composite of light and sound.
There is talk about passing through the doorway into anti-matter, magnetism, space, time and gravity.
I see healing performed as fingers become convectors for light and sound.
I have difficulty in describing this because of the sheer impossibility of conveying what I see and hear.

MANIFEST no. 3: "Bigger than Big"
Submission: February 01, 2016
Registration: February 01, 2016
Location: Essay
Prizes: to be announced
"Spatial immensity beggars designation. Immensity itself fails, vastness and other common terms fail… Five hundred years into the settlement of…America by Europeans and Africans, intellectuals, and designers especially, lack words for bigger than big. An unwholesome, stubborn refusal to confront the immensities of the continent, indeed the immensity of the continent itself…" –John R. Stilgoe, "Wuthering Immensity"
The above excerpt from our inaugural issue touches upon a fundamental problem of American space, namely, how to absorb, understand, and describe the awe-inspiring, blunt physicality of the continent in the face of which all rationalization fails. In the fields of architecture, urbanism, and even landscape design, this physicality remains an under-explored agent.
While specific narratives of city-building across the Americas have been told, the role of the "bigger than big" or the out-of-scale so ubiquitous in many of the exploratory accounts of the territory has often taken a back seat to discourses focusing exclusively on questions of style, performance, or networks of transaction. The experience found, say, in Alexis de Tocqueville's notes on the geography of Mississippi is often lost on designers who are frightened back by the "wuthering giant," as Stilgoe puts it, "…to urban and other small scales."
Likewise, the art historian James Elkins has recently argued that scholars have a "fear of materiality," embracing it only up to the "point where writing becomes difficult." Unable to fully engage with the glacial slowness demanded by a serious attention to physicality, the historian in Elkins' estimation tends to place it beyond interpretation or assigns it to the realm of "making" and "production," so as to shoehorn it into familiar conversations. One might argue that design writing takes a similar tack.
When the subject has been taken up in architecture—as in the brash, rustic experiments of H. H. Richardson, the "parkitecture" of Mary Colter, the campus landscape of UNAM's Ciudad Universitaria, the muscular display cabinet Lina Bo Bardi conceived in MASP, or in texts such as Nathaniel Owings' overture toward Rachel Carson's "long vistas of history" in The American Aesthetic (1969), and most notably in Reyner Banham's Scenes in America Deserta (1989)—the results are decidedly singular offerings that merge realist rhetoric with a poetics of ecology.
If today's symbolic landscapes are decidedly more urban and characterized by their managerial and aspirational metrics—walkability, sustainability, density, intelligence, etc.—at issue here is the stubborn persistence of physical and spatial immensity as animating and potentially humbling actors in the urban imaginaries of the Americas. By way of recasting or returning to these urgent, familiar discourses with a new eye and a new tongue alike, or jettisoning them for altogether unfamiliar conversations, we can address the more deceptively simple or direct challenges of description demanded by the often overwhelming physical and material conditions of the "new world"—challenges which have long prompted a profusion of terms, analogies, and frameworks geared toward understanding the site and sights of our designs.
For our third issue, we aim to highlight propositions that have taken seriously the "biggerthan big"—design and representational experiments aimed at narrating, framing, or enacting the American continent and the forms and ideas which it animates. Three categories will constitute the issue's conceptual framework: matter, scale, and description. Taken together, these complementary avenues into our expansive subject will offer alternative readings into contemporary questions of cultural imaginaries and histories in relation to the deep time of geological formation, and will examine the continuing agency of physical matter in a moment dominated by the data sublime of virtual landscapes and smart cities, tracing back the impacts and multi-layered resonance of immensity in American design.
MANIFEST is interested in essays ranging from 1000-7500 words, projects, graphic narratives, photo essays, and interviews. For the call for proposals, we ask that authors submit an abstract of 300-500 words + relevant images along with a brief bio or CV. We encourage abstracts and proposals to provoke as much as describe and each should offer an insight into the narrative threads driving the work. Authorial tone can range from academic to irreverent, but all work should have a strong voice and display a high quality of writing. The subject matter is wholly up to the discretion of the authors. MANIFESTencourages the submission of pieces of historical interest alongside more projective tracts and speculative arguments. With the exception of built projects, work must be previously unpublished.
Please submit all material in a single PDF (5MB maximum file size) to editors@manifestproject.org by Monday, 1 February 2016. Authors of selected proposalswill be notified by the end of February and the editors will work with authors to develop their pieces.

The Pure Coppicing of Sweet Chestnut relieves the pressure on using these slower growing species. The reason for the quick growth of Chestnut is that there is very little sapwood in the trunk; this allows a larger proportion of the tree to be used.
As a result, Coppicing is very sustainable, as well as leaving virtually zero waste.
The benefit of using M.G.E Coppicing is that we ensure that we recycle all Coppicing bi-products into a variety of other useful Woodland goods.
Young Sweet Chestnut wood is hard, strong and rich in tannins which make it very durable in the ground and suitable for outdoor use in general, requiring no additional preservatives and with an estimated twenty year life cycle.
We are always looking to source new supplies of Sweet Chestnut in the local area.

Advocates for Special Needs Kids Seek Urgent Court Order on In-Person Teaching
Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Austin Beutner. Photo courtesy of Los Angeles Unified School District
After months of urging one of the nation's largest school districts to safely provide quality in-person learning to the thousands of special needs students who get little from online instruction, children's rights groups on Friday went right to the California Supreme Court and filed a lawsuit to make it happen pronto.
The move against the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) by the Alliance for Children's Rights and the Learning Rights Law Center was meant to speed up a decision on what the plaintiffs say is an issue so urgent that it cannot be allowed to languish.
LAUSD had, in fact, been offering some in-person tutoring and assessment for students with disabilities since October, but advocates said those services, which reached less than 1% of all K-12 students, were not enough.
Even those limited services ground to a halt Monday when district Superintendent Austin Beutner ordered all campuses closed entirely amid an alarming post-Thanksgiving spike in new coronavirus cases.
The Supreme Court is not obligated to take up the case, but the lawyers' petition urged the justices to do so "because the issues presented here are of great public importance and should be resolved promptly. It is in the public interest to resolve the questions presented in this Petition and to provide students with special needs in California with the appropriate resources to avoid learning loss, prevent behavioral regression, and protect students' mental health and well-being."
There are "no questions of fact" for the court to resolve, the plaintiffs' lawyers say, because a new pandemic-era law is clear: Under Senate Bill 98, signed into law in June, California school districts must provide in-person instruction "whenever possible" and "to the greatest extent possible."
"It has been possible for months," the Alliance for Children's Rights stated in a news release. "Since September 2, 2020, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has consistently maintained that in-person instruction can be provided, in small cohorts, and up to 25% of campus capacity. Such in-person instruction would be provided in accordance with the Department of Public Health's safety protocols."
The plaintiffs contend many of the 80,000 special needs students in the sprawling district simply cannot learn effectively unless they are physically in a classroom with a teacher, and that they are falling further behind every day.
The damage, they say, is not limited to academic matters. The students' emotional health is also irreparably harmed as well, "leaving families struggling to address one of the most fundamental needs of the children in their care for months without a plan."
A spokesperson for the school district, asked about the petition, told the L.A. Times, "We do not comment on pending litigation."

On Christmas day nothing when no trains buses underground run in London my friend Laurie who I was staying with over Christmas planned a walk along the Grand Union Canal.
When I would walk to the underground at Alperton near Wembley where she was pet sitting I would pass the the Hindu Temple The Shri Sanatan Hindu Mandir *All-inclusive Hindu Temple this morning we stopped to take some photos we were invited inside to by a kind old Man who told us the history behind the temple and also gave us beautiful guidebook. No photos were allowed inside which was too bad as it some however I did find this slide show on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98Zy_CoF4TY. The temple was opened on May 2010.
Afterwards we walked along the canal it was a beautiful sunny day and I loved the walk I have walked other parts of the Canal over the years this was a pretty spot at times seeing the swans. We later went back to the house and had a lovely Christmas dinner mine was Lamb and did Christmas Crackers to boot.


Some manufacturers have recently marketed what they dubbed as "Hybrid System". Essentially it is a heat pump system that is matched up with a conventional gas furnace. It is designed to be installed with a special controller with an outdoor temperature sensor. As we mentioned last time heat pump loses its effectiveness when temperature drops below roughly 45F. A "Hybrid System" simply switches to gas whenever that occurs. Keeping the heat capacity when it is needed most. It is more expensive but probably the best solution from a comfort standpoint.
A lower cost solution for most heat pump installations is the use of electric strip heat as back up heat source. It does draw quite a bit of power to heat up the space and most are set up for 220V power supply. Those are the main reasons why heat pump is not as common in the Northern California. However when the system is matched up with a solar electric system then consumption is not an issue.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and millions of Americans are at risk for this devastating disease.
The CDC now reports that 1 in 3 American adults have prediabetes which is 86 million people.
Diabetes is scary. I know, because I have lived with type 1 diabetes for over 14 years.
Through my experience living with diabetes, I find those living with it would do anything not to have it. Many without diabetes are not aware they are at risk, or don't know what life with diabetes actually entails — until it is too late to do anything about it.
Many doctors, nurses, dietitians, and now health coaches, and exercise specialists, are trained to identify early signs and symptoms of poor glucose control or risk of developing the disease.
Diabetes is a complicated disease.
Type 1 diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease, means you are insulin dependent. People with this type cannot prevent it and there is no cure.
There is also gestational diabetes (high blood sugar levels during pregnancy), as well as LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults).
Any type of diabetes, regardless of cause and phase, requires constant attention and effort for good glucose control.
Diabetes is diagnosed using one of the following laboratory blood tests: fasting glucose test, oral glucose tolerance test, or A1C.
Prevention and exercise are key.
Chances are you, or someone you know, is at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
Prediabetes means the blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes.
If you have been tested, and have elevated glucose levels above what is considered normal, you should consider assessing the frequency and time you exercise and get moving!
CDC studies show that even modest weight loss and exercise can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
If you have a higher than normal weight (a BMI of over 25), then a weight loss of 5-7% of your body weight is advised. You are also advised to include 150 minutes a week of physical activity.
How does exercise work to lower overall blood sugar?
Exercise plays a large role in maintaining ideal blood sugar levels, and lowering glucose levels, for those who are at risk.
Regular physical activity can reduce insulin resistance, and help the insulin work more effectively.
Many people find that exercise helps them gain better glucose numbers, and sometimes reduces the quantity of pills or insulin they have to take.
For people on insulin, physical activity helps the insulin work more effectively, causing cells to be more sensitive to it as long as it is present.
The uptake in glucose by working muscles causes your blood glucose levels to fall. Even when you stop the activity your muscles and liver are still working to replace glucose and glycogen stores. The benefits of exercise last even beyond the "active" minutes!
What kinds of exercises are best to lower overall glucose?
If you consider yourself to be a novice exerciser or if you are new to diabetes starting at a low to moderate pace is best.
Strenuous exercise does not always have the greatest impact on diabetes and long term exercise adherence. For someone on diabetes medication strenuous exercise can cause someone's blood sugar to drop very quickly.
Look at where your current fitness level is by assessing the FITT principle. Frequency, how often do you exercise? Intensity, how hard are you working? Type, what is the mode of your activity? Walking, biking, swimming, lifting weights, yoga? Time, how long or what is the duration of time you exercise? Each component plays a factor in the rate at which your muscle uptakes the glucose in your bloodstream.
Ask yourself, what is realistic for me? What can my body and mind tolerate? Assess how you feel after each exercise session and if you have diabetes check your blood sugar before and after so you know the effect.
Factors that influence blood sugar levels.
Everyone's blood sugar levels fluctuate at different rates with exercise. Factors that could influence blood sugar changes during exercise include exercise intensity, exercise type, food eaten (carbohydrates), and if you are diabetic amount of active medication and pre-exercise blood sugar level just to name a few.
As you begin to feel more comfortable with exercise then you can reevaluate and change up your FITT. Gradually add another day, go for a longer time, increase the speed or resistance, or try a new activity. General rule: increase slowly! You will see greater progress and have a greater chance of making exercise part of your every day.
Take extra precautions if you have diabetes.
Aryn with husband Ben after Aryn completing the Quad City half-marathon. Aryn is carrying a bottle with Gatorade and a roll of glucose tablets to manage her sugar during the run and post exercise.
A person with diabetes should always carry some form of sugar, especially during exercise. Juice, raisins, fruit strips, or as a general rule 15-30 grams of straight carbohydrate. I always carry glucose tablets on me.
Too much medication can cause people with diabetes to have low blood sugar called hypoglycemia.
Once diabetes medication is administered there is no easy way to decrease the amount of medication and low blood sugar can result. Keeping a back up form of sugar for emergencies to correct a low blood sugar is a must as well as a blood glucose meter and medical identification. If you are going to exercise alone be sure to tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be done.
If you have diabetes and have high blood sugar, called hyperglycermia, you should wait to exercise if your blood sugar is above 250. Very high glucose means there isn't enough insulin present in the body for cells or muscles to use glucose therefore muscles start breaking down fat for energy and the sugar remains high in the blood. This creates ketones in the body which are toxic by-products.
It is wise to wait until the sugar levels decrease below 250 before normal activity resumes. Overall, exercise is not only safe for people with diabetes; it is part of good health and better glucose control.
Brainstorm a time to fit 10-20 minutes of physical activity into your day and coming week.
Book an appointment to exercise by scheduling it in your calendar.
Wear good supportive shoes. If you have diabetes, taking care of your feet is very important! Consider getting your shoes fit if you plan to be active on your feet.
If you have diabetes, be sure to pack your medical ID, meter, and a snack with you.
Start slow: walking or low intensity exercise to begin and increase from there.
*If you don't know your glucose level, consider getting a baseline laboratory blood glucose test.
Rock Valley Health staff does fasting glucose readings and biometric screenings, or many labs offer glucose testing. Be sure to look up your number or ask your doctor to see if you are at risk.
Aryn Lloyd is a Health Coach for Rock Valley Health. A Type 1 diabetic, she has led many chronic disease programs, including the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program. She lives in Davenport with her husband, Ben, and their two daughters, Britta and Klara. You can read Aryn's bio and other blog posts by clicking here.

Climate and Energy Action Plan moves ahead
Durango and La Plata County are turning green in more ways than one this spring. The Four Corners Office for Resource Efficiency recently launched the La Plata Climate and Energy Action Plan effort. The plan, which seeks to get a handle on and ultimately reduce the area's carbon footrprint while preparing for climate change that has already taken place, will rely heavily on public input./Photo by Stephen Eginoire

Area residents concerned about climate change no longer have to feel like lone voices in the wilderness.
Thanks to the La Plata Climate and Energy Action Plan, known as CEAP, locals now can have their say on how the community tackles greenhouse gas emissions. Headed up by the Four Corners Office for Resource Efficiency, or 4CORE, the goal of the plan is threefold. The first phase, currently under way, is to review and complete the recent county greenhouse gas inventory. The second phase will set targets for greenhouse gas reductions, and the third will provide steps to achieve those targets.
According to Aileen Tracy, 4CORE executive director, the idea for a climate action plan was hatched a few years ago. She said 4CORE was chosen to head up the effort because it was unaffiliated with any other government, religious or nonprofit organization. Her group was also chosen over an outside consulting firm out of a desire to produce a truly grassroots document. "People really wanted this to be a community affair and build this plan from the ground up," she said.
With that in mind, 4CORE is seeking local volunteers interested in taking part in formation of the plan, an effort that was launched last week in conjunction with Earth Day. Tracy said more than 200 people have volunteered to take part, but more are needed for the process, which is expected to take the rest of the year for a final, tangible document to be produced. "We need all kinds of volunteers and any level of participation is welcome. Some of that might even come from a technician who is available to give us information or take a phone call now and then," she said.
Currently, CEAP is composed of a steering committee, made up of various government, tribal, business and nonprofit leaders, and eight workgroups. The groups, which meet on their own schedules, study everything from scientific data to agriculture, forestry and waste management. Tracy said she is hoping that by the end of May, the groups will have a list of proposed measures available for public feedback. "We have more than 200 possible measures right now," she said. "The goal is to whittle that down to 20 and create the action plan from those."
To make the formulation of measures easy, and to keep the workgroups from re-inventing the wheel, all measures will be evaluated using specially designed computer software. "Basically, you enter the measure and the program tells you how it will reduce greenhouse gases, by how much, and how much it will cost," said Tracy.
The La Plata CEAP is similar to the statewide Colorado Climate Action Plan, but on a smaller, more local level. The word "energy" was added to the local version once planners realized it was an inextricable part of the climate change equation. "Energy is a huge part of this, so we decided to add it to the title," Tracy said.
Another huge part of the plan also involves accepting the fact that climate change has already occurred. To that end, one CEAP workgroup is studying ways to adapt and prepare for the long-term effects of climate change, such as reduced run-off, drought and shifting animal habitat. "We understand that climate change has happened, and we can't stop it. So, the next step is to ask ourselves how we can prepare and be resilient."
Another workgroup is examining the 2005 county greenhouse gas inventory, also known as the Brendle Report. "We are fine-tuning it and making sure it truly is the baseline," she said.
In addition, another workgroup is hammering away at establishing realistic greenhouse gas reduction goals. "We need to look at levels and make sure they're attainable," she said.
Tracy said she expects a draft document to be available late this year with a final version out in the first quarter of 2010. However, she noted that the document will be a flexible one, merely providing a framework. "It's really going to be more of a snapshot than anything," she said, adding that anything from new technology to scientific findings can change the way the plan is implemented. She also said forthcoming stimulus money could also play a role in achieving the plan's goals, not to mention how her office operates in general.
Just last week, 4CORE found out it will be able to keep government funds earmarked for energy efficiency rebates, such as for solar/thermal installations and insulation retrofits. However, Tracy said the biggest role of her office continues to be education.
"A huge part of what we do is education and telling people what they can do in their daily lives and what to think about before they build," she said.
In fact, the education component has been so important that 4CORE recently hired two full-time employees to keep up with the demand.
And while 4CORE is working to educate the public, Tracy urges people to repay the favor by participating in the CEAP process. "It'll be so great when it's done," she said. "It's really going to affect everyone, so it's important to get your voice heard." •

87-Year-Old 'Gilligan's Island' Star Tina Louise Wants To Date Again
by Lauren Novak
Tina Louise may be 87 years old now, but she isn't letting her age stop her. She recently admitted that she is open to dating and even opened up about her celebrity crush! She said that she would love to date late-night talk show host, John Oliver.
She said, "I like his dimples. I like him. He's terrific. Bright. Cute. Funny. You have to enjoy each other's company and have something to talk about. That's important." Tina is best known for her role as Ginger Grant on Gilligan's Island.
'Gilligan's Island' star Tina Louise says she wants to date
GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, Tina Louise, 1964-1967 / Everett Collection
Tina was only married once. She was married to radio and TV announcer/interviewer Les Crane from 1966 to 1971. They had one daughter together. Around that time, she was known as a bombshell but it seems she had trouble with men.

When asked about how her role as Griselda in God's Little Acre was similar to her own life, she said, "[Griselda] only seems sexy because she looks sexy and maybe feels that way. But…hers is a tragic story and one I know too well. Men just can't keep their hands off Griselda, because that's the way she affects them every time a man sees her he tries to kiss her and rough her up…. Sex is a part of her, but is really not her."
Even though it sounds like she hasn't dated much lately, Tina is staying active and has worked in the past few years. Her latest role was in the film Tapestry. According to IMDb, "'Tapestry' is the story of a man (Stephen Baldwin) in the midst of a heavy personal and spiritual crisis. Aided by his Father (Burt Young), and his family, he embarks on a personal journey that will forever change him."

We hope she finds what she's looking for!

Q: case when returning duplicates thanks for helping in advance
I have a table named houses with houses informations
and I have a table, periods which contains the periods in which the houses are available
[periods table with the start and the end of the period][1]
I have to check if the house is available yes our no on the period in between '2022-12-19' AND '2023-01-02'(included)
this is my code and it returns duplicates sometimes, in that case the one is true the other is false
And I want to display true whenever the house has at least one period that is between '2022-12-19' AND '2023-01-02'(included)

*

*This is the result

CASE
WHEN (periods.start_at BETWEEN '2022-12-18' AND '2023-01-03') AND (periods.end_at BETWEEN '2022-12-21' AND '2023-01-03')
THEN TRUE
ELSE FALSE
END AS vancances_noel,

FROM houses
LEFT JOIN destinations on houses.destination_id=destinations.id
LEFT JOIN periods on houses.id=periods.house_id```

A: You may want to try this:
CASE WHEN (cast(periods.start_at as date) BETWEEN '2022/12/18' AND '2023/01/03') AND (cast(periods.end_at as date) BETWEEN '2022/12/21' AND '2023/01/03')
There may be some confusion as to whether periods.start_at or periods.end_at are date values or whether the strings used in the BETWEEN operator are date values.

A: sql query will display n times ( n nomber periods) and each line has status of period , so to show which avaible only
your sql should be:
    select houses.id, periods.start_at,periods.end_at FROM houses
LEFT JOIN destinations on houses.destination_id=destinations.id
LEFT JOIN periods on houses.id=periods.house_id
where (periods.start_at BETWEEN '2022-12-18' AND '2023-01-03') AND (periods.end_at BETWEEN '2022-12-21' AND '2023-01-03')

A: Your period match looks wrong. Isn't a house also available from December 18 to January 3, when there is, say, an available period from December 15 to January 10?
Then, for your lookup, don't join but use EXISTS:
SELECT
  some_columns,
  EXISTS
  (
    SELECT NULL
    FROM periods p
    WHERE periods.house_id = h.id
    AND start_at <= DATE '2022-12-18'
    AND end_at >= DATE '2023-01-03'
  ) AS vancances_noel,
  more_columns
FROM houses h
LEFT JOIN destinations d ON h.destination_id = d.id

A contemporary eco-lodge on the beautiful Una resort in St Ives.
When did you last while away your mornings with leisurely breakfasts, help the kids to improve their skills in the swimming pool and challenge the family to sandcastle competitions? Well, that's pretty much what life's all about at Una St Ives. With an indoor swimming pool, the Una Kitchen restaurant and the Retreat spa all onsite, you'll be within minutes from whatever it is you fancy doing to unwind.
The perfect destination for a romantic break for two, Una Aurum 58 is just a stroll away from those lazy afternoons being pampered by Emma and the team in the spa, and we can arrange spa breaks for those of you who are keen to just relax and forget the world. For those sandy strolls, Carbis Bay is just a fifteen-minute walk away, and then there's the beautiful resort of St Ives ten minutes away by car.
Whether you're content to tuck into a plate of fresh seafood with a view, or you browse the arty shops that line the cobbled little streets, there's a fantastic atmosphere throughout the town that makes you feel a world away from the daily grind.
Good facilities, lovely setting, staff helpful. We go to a Una St. Ives regularly in winter, when it is very quiet.
Great place to stay, good location and really nice amenities, very much like the restaurant and all day dining. Great to have the pool and spa, had an amazing massage, Hollistic Heaven.
Beautiful and thoughtful decor to a very high spec. Comfortable and welcoming in what can be described as a hidden gem. Loved the swimming pool!
We would love to return. Thank you.
Love St Ives and the rail link was so useful.

PLM Administration Tools to Deploy Custom Software in Three Easy Steps!
Looking for easier PLM administration tools? Did you know the Teamcenter Deployment Center can deploy your custom software in just three easy steps?
First, download the Deployment Center from Doc Center (customer-only access). Follow the Deployment Center user guide to get it installed, and drop Teamcenter software into the software repository. See the guide for information on the versions of Teamcenter supported by the Deployment Center.
Next, locate the "Deployment Center Configuration Guide.docx" located in the Deployment Center download in the "\additional_tools\Teamcenter\Samples" directory. This guide explains how to configure your existing BMIDE template to be supported through Deployment Center. It will require you to create 3 XML files. Note that this step only has to be performed once for each BMIDE template. The configuration guide also lists a couple of sample software packages that can be found in the same "additional_tools\Teamcenter\Samples" directory.
Finally, after you finish with the XML configuration, you can drop your software package into the Deployment Center's repository, just like you do for the Active Workspace software, and then use the Deployment Center to configure the install. It's that easy!
More information and the download is available for customers in the Deployment Center section of the Doc Center (customer-only access).
Supporting custom software installs through Deployment Center gets even easier with Teamcenter 11.4. YOu will no longer need to perform the steps listed above. Instead when you import your custom BMIDE template into the 11.4 BMIDE client the BMIDE will automatically add support for deploying the BMIDE template through Deployment Center or TEM.
For step by step instructions see the Deployment Center 2.0 instructional videos available on GTAC right next to the Deployment Center 2.0 download.
Once software has been added to DC's Repository, it can be removed from the OS folder but, will not be removed from DC. So be purposeful about what you put in the Repository. Set your software version and build version in BMIDE when building a package and set it exactly the way you want before putting it in the Repository (consider sorting order). DC deploys it successfully. A future version of DC will allow you to remove entries in the Repository database.


The above infographic summarizes Nairobi City County's budget for FY 2016/2017. You will notice that Ward Development Fund (WDF) valued at Ksh 1.6 Billion will be shared equally in all the 85 wards. Is this equitable? Is there fairness?
The equity topic is quite slippery. Most people think that getting equal share is equitable. Let's learn more about equity during the #EquityWeek coordinated by the International Budget Partnership Kenya, Katiba Institute, SID and the Youth Congress. The week will be action-based starting with a Keynote Address on 19th September by Dr. Willy Mutunga, the former Chief Justice of Kenya at Strathmore Business School Auditorium.
On Tuesday 20th September, the International Budget Partnership will release a research at Laico Regency. The paper will be titled: Equity or Equality. We can't wait to have a look at your findings. This day will be crowned with a Policy Discussion with Senator Mutula Kilonzo, Linet Oyugi of Commission on Revenue Allocation and David Achero of Article 19 as panelists.
On Wednesday 21st, Ali Hersi of Society for International Development (SID) will tackle the issue of Managing Global Inequality. We will mark the end of this big day by watching the film: Measure of Fairness at ALLIANCE FRANCAISE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM. The film will start at exactly 7:00 PM moderated by Michael Orwa.
Thursday 22nd will be a day for scholars to dig deep into the equity topic. The organizers have lined up great professors, Karuti Kanyingi and Winnie Mitullah to share their findings on inequality with the public. On the same note, Waikwa Wanyoike will tell the world what the Constitution says about equity. Don't miss to drink from the fountain of knowledge at the Education Building at University of Nairobi. Starting from 7 pm, the poets will be waiting the Professional Center to emphasize the equity message.
The icing on the Cake will be at Korogocho on 23rd September where the community will be discussing whether Wanjiku is getting her fair share of the national cake. This is a significant event that will let the community have they say.

A new interview featuring Masahiro Sakurai in the latest issue of Nintendo Dream has been discovered and translated by Twitter user @Meshima_.
In the interview, Sakurai revealed he wanted to implement measures to deter players from being too campy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Campy players are those who stay at a safe place to evade other fighters for a long period of time.
One of the ways Sakurai devised to discourage camping is to lower the running speed of campy players. However, this wasn't implemented in the final game, as it was almost impossible for the game to tell who is campy and who is not.
Besides campy players, Sakurai talked about Elite Smash and character tiers, which are handled by the monitor team and balancing team. Sakurai said that these teams no longer refer to feedback on the Internet to balance characters, and Sakurai once regretted listening to players on the Internet to balance fighters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U.

This content is available in the following languages
The Nazi Holocaust that devastated European Jewry and virtually destroyed its centuries-old culture also wiped out the great European population centers of Sephardi (or Judeo-Spanish) Jewry and led to the almost complete demise of its unique language and traditions. Sephardi Jewish communities from France and the Netherlands in the northwest to Yugoslavia and Greece in the southeast almost disappeared.
On the eve of World War II, the European Sephardi community was concentrated in the Balkan countries of Greece, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria. Its leading centers were in Salonika, Sarajevo, Belgrade, and Sofia.
Fate of Balkan Jewish Communities
The experience of the Balkan Jewish communities during the war varied greatly and depended on the type of regime under which they fell.
The Jewish communities of Serbia and northern Greece, including the 50,000 Jews of Salonika, fell under direct German occupation in April 1941 and bore the full weight and intensity of Nazi repressive measures from dispossession, humiliation, and forced labor to hostage taking, and finally deportation to Auschwitz-Birkenau and extermination in March-August 1943.
The Jewish population of southern Greece fell under the jurisdiction of the Italians who eschewed the enactment of anti-Jewish legislation and resisted whenever possible German efforts to transfer them to Poland, until the surrender of Italy on September 8, 1943 brought the Jews under German control.
Sephardi Jews in Bosnia and Croatia were ruled by a German-created Fascist-Catholic satellite state from April 1941, which subjected them to pogrom-like actions before herding them into local camps where they were murdered side by side with Serbs and Roma (Gypsies).
The Jews of Macedonia and Thrace were controlled by Bulgarian occupation forces, which after rendering them stateless, rounded them up and turned them over to the Germans for deportation.
Deportation of Jews from Macedonia
Finally, the Jews of Bulgaria proper were under the rule of a Nazi ally that subjected them to ruinous anti-Jewish legislation, but ultimately yielded to pressure from Bulgarian parliamentarians, clerics, and intellectuals not to deport them. More than 50,000 Bulgarian Jews were thus saved.

Whenever you visit a website, the relevant data needed to load the web page is downloaded and stored on your PC and is called internet cache. The downloaded information and files allows the web page to load faster the next time you visit it without the need of downloading everything again.
When you refresh your browser, you are purposefully cleaning your data and it should be done every now and then. So why should you remove the downloaded files if you are going to need them again when you visit?
Well, developers frequently update a website and make changes, which include the files they send to a user's computer, on page load. A refresh is required to flush out the previous data and load the updated data. By pressing the refresh button, you basically force a website to send you clean and fresh version of data.
This is where Browser Refresh comes in. It is a handy Windows application that assists Web developers and designers by quickly refreshing browsers.
The application runs as a service. Users can download zip files, extract contents and run them. If a SmartScreen warning pops-up, click on "More Info" and hit the "Run Away" button.
When the application is launched, it shows a simple notification via Action Center of Windows 10 and sits steadily in the background. The notification is to inform users of the actively running application.
To explore all the provided options in the app, click the application's icon from the System Tray and the menu will list all available options that can be used for changing settings to each's preference.
The Browser Refresh shortcut is Control+D hotkey and for hard refresh is Alt+D. These keys are configurable from the options menu. To tweak hotkeys, open the configuration dialog and hit a key combination for your desired hotkey and click save to store your changes in the app.
If the user has selected all browsers to be refreshed, close them and Browser Refresh will generate an automated refresh on the ones that are active and running. Browser Refresh supports Google Chrome, Google Chrome Canary, Yandex Browser, Firefox Developer Edition, Opera Browser, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox Browser and is compatible with Windows 10 too.
Users can download Browser Refresh but they'd need .NET framework 3.5 to be installed on their PCs to run the application on their systems.


In case you've been living in a cave for the past ten years, Pandora is the largest online radio source, representing 68% of all online radio listening and 8% of all radio listening.
Our Charlotte marketing agency has added Pandora advertising into our media mix this year as part of some ongoing work with Rack Room Shoes, and this streaming service's capacity for behavioral targeting is really paying off.
Straddling the divide between digital and traditional media, Pandora provides a number of advertiser benefits. Their ads are only served upon user interaction — so you can actually reach people who are paying attention. You can reach people at home, in the car, at work, or on the go. Eliminating the clutter conundrum, they boast ad exclusivity with only one advertiser being served at a time. Plus advertisers get their choice of targeting options including geography, demographics, or music format.
With 70% of their listening done via mobile, Pandora is poised for a bright future. By drawing in new listeners with new ways to access music, they have a great combined radio and digital story to tell. And as Pandora mainstreams itself into the lives of radio listeners, it is on the verge of mainstreaming itself into the hearts of digital and traditional media buyers alike.
So far, it's been a great tool to get our target audience to show up for grand openings across the country, and the results speak for themselves.


A very simple commanment, correct? But one that all of us, no doubt, have transgressed on far too many times to count. Stealing is stealing, be it a very small amount, say 1¢ only or a huge amount, like taking over of a company by ways that is against the law.
Not paying our taxes is stealing. Encoding films and putting it online is stealing (downloading these files is not stealing, it will be discussed another time). Not giving to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YAHUAH/YAHUWAH) what is His, all glory, honor, praise, and thanks, is stealing (and can be considered idolatry too, which is a transgression of the 2nd commandment).
Last, but definitely not the least, worshipping on the wrong Sabbath day is stealing. Which is also a transgression of the 4th commandment. A commandment that is side-by-side with today's 8th commandment. Sunday is definitely and no doubt, the wrong Sabbath day.
Let's meditate on it today as we prepare for the coming of the Day of Atonement.
You shall not steal. The 8th commandment of YaHuWaH. Be it as small as 1¢, stealing is stealing. Simple but we transgress on this a lot of times!

Q: Access To Restricted URI Denied (Trying to Call a WCF Method from XMLHTTP) I have a web solution that looks something like the below - a web project,
a web service, and a service library.
Web Solution1
- Web Project
-- test.aspx
- WebAPILibrary
-- trade.cs
-- TradeService.cs
-- ITradeService.cs
- WebAPIService
-- trade.svc
Now, I am trying to retreive a JSON string produced by a trade.svc method
using javascript. Something to the effect of:
...
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function()
{

        if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4)
        {
            var mdiv = document.getElementById("msg");
            mdiv.innerHTML = (xmlHttp.responseText);
        }
}

    var url = "http://localhost:4253/trade.svc/";
    url = url + "GetSomething?id=0&format=";
    xmlHttp.open("GET", url, true);
    xmlHttp.send('');

etc...
The problem is, when I fire this method, I get the error:

"Access to restricted URI denied"

I have noticed my Web Project is under localhost:3721 and my
Web Service is under localhost:4253/ so, I gather that when I
go outside of my project's context, I get this error.
I have tried fixing the problem by issuing httpcfg.exe on localhost:4253
but that didn't work.
Any ideas? Thanks.


I lift my eyes to the sky, to the planet turning.
and I'll wear a red ribbon.
I watch for someone to call my own.
How long till I exchange emptyness for love?
surely, I'll run to you and end it.
and in the distance I can see your profile.

I know, I forgot to actually publish this on Friday, and it technically is Sunday, but Featured Sunday just doesn't have the same ring to it and I do like a semblance of order. Thankfully, Blogger offers a neat little back-date feature that I'm taking full advantage of.
It's still a bazillion degrees in Dallas and I am so ready for Fall! I have tons of cute stuff bookmarked, so I'm trying to hold out a few more weeks to share it.
Isn't this an adorable first day of school lunch from Glory's Mischief?
I love the puzzle pieces and letters!
I'm a wee bit obsessed with the idea of muffins in lieu of sandwiches.
Check out the pizza muffins from Lick the Bowl Good--perfect!
Jen at Bento for Kidlet always draws the most amazing sandwich toppers.
The current Dr. Who ones are no exception (and browse through her others)!
Much like my muffin obsession, I think mini-pies have to be better.
Mini-chicken pot pies from The Baker Chick have much bento potential!
LOL! I have a sister in lunch-making out there! I too have been thinking about how every sandwich could be better made as a muffin. And I also love any kind of stuffed bread something or other. Thanks for your ideas!
Shannon I love your page. I have spent hours on here finding awesome bento lunch ideas for my kindergartner. Thanks!

THE Mets' five hole is a black hole. Robin Ventura, a career .277 hitter, who hit 32 home runs and drove in 120 runs a year ago, disappeared into the abyss about two months ago. And, after striking out 80 times, all contact now has been lost.
Yesterday, Ventura's one-day rest was turned into two by Bobby Valentine, which is about as official as a benching gets on this manager's space station.
"His swing needs a little work," said Valentine. "Robbie (batting coach Tom Robson) and (minor league hitting instructor) Howie Freiling looked at the video and saw something and expressed it to [Ventura] today. He'll work on those things and maybe get a good feel for them.
The Mets have had one hit in a big spot in 10 games and are feeling it. They lost for the eighth time in that period, 8-2, last night to the Brewers and for one of the few times since Met batters mysteriously switched from Louisville Sluggers to some of Ron Hunt's used toothpicks, the pitching actually deserved a huge portion of the blame. Rick Reed, who had had one bad outing since coming off the DL in mid July, had his second, failing to keep Milwaukee close – not that it would have mattered.
Right now, the Mets couldn't hit a one-number lottery if the winner was published a week in advance. Last night they got their runs on two homers that weren't just solo but downright lonely. After Benny Agbayani hit one of them to lead off the third, Derek Bell singled, Edgardo Alfonzo walked, and with Matt Franco – Ventura's replacement at third and in the fifth spot – due up next, Mike Piazza got pitches that were about as close to the strike zone as Mercury is to Mars.
The clean-up batter took the pass. Franco then hit a ball that looked awfully good off the bat for all of 20 feet until it died in the Shea infield jet stream and bounced to the shortstop. Franco had two hits last night, including a home run, but in the big spot, he collapsed into the hole.
Piazza has had a spectacular season without any fear factor emanating from the on-deck circle. That said, now that he seems to be pulling out a little, it looks like Piazza needs not just protection from the five-spot, but the Federal Witness Protection Program. Perhaps he could use some of Valentine's ingenious dugout disguises.
The manager said the catcher is tired and sounds like he regrets having not rested him Sunday, as originally planned. Then again, Piazza did drive in a run with a sacrifice fly in one of the two Met wins in 11 days, so Valentine actually made the move of the week and is now going for two to try to save Ventura's incomprehensibly sad season.
"We need a productive third baseman," said Valentine. "I have full belief [Ventura] will be that productive third baseman.
Certainly not as unique as Met runs. Since the tap closed in St. Louis, they are hitting below .200 as a team. Dead birds are being found at the bat rack and Robson has become the most interviewed member of the organization, never a good sign.
Fixing such a massive breakdown of confidence goes beyond the video room and the batting cage. Patience and deeper counts would be a good idea for a few guys, principally Jay Payton, but as Valentine noted, the Mets are popping up just as efficiently at 3-2 as with the first pitch.
The good news is that they have squeezed enough sawdust from the bats to cover the entire Shea infield in case of another 15-inning game in a driving October rainstorm. The bad news is that if this continues, they won't get to October.
But as frustrating as this has been – Turk Wendell turned off the Jets' game in the locker room to give it the funereal atmosphere worthy of a Mets' bases-loaded, nobody out, situation – imagine the wall climbing that is going on in Arizona as the Diamondbacks fail to gain ground.
It's their bats that need a trial membership at the health club. What is truly astounding is how in the year 2000, when the ball jumps like Robson should be when Steve Phillips enters the room, and pitching is more scarce than a clean Lenny Harris pick, the Mets have not run into one awful pitcher in 10 games.
Of course, it could be that they are making bad pitchers look good, but so it goes. And goes. And goes.

PhD EssayARTMusicThe Developement of Polyphony
Last Updated 27 Apr 2018
The Developement of Polyphony
Words 747 (2 pages)
Rick Serra Professor Graham Music History 1 2 October 2012 The Development of Polyphony Polyphony is a musical concept that completely revolutionized music as a whole. The development of polyphony began to take shape around the 11th century. When talking about polyphony, we are referring to a texture made up of two or more independent melodic voices, as opposed to music with just one voice (monophony) or music with one dominant melodic voice accompanied by chords (homophony).
Although we have an overall understanding when polyphony came about, many historians are still concealed in speculation and theories. Despite its beginnings we can assume that polyphony existed in one form or another somewhere else before it grew in the West. Some scholars suggest that roots may lie in Greek music, when the technique of improvising on the same melody could be found, also known as heterophony. Others opinionate that its origins rest in the natural variations in voice placement from one person to another.
This is best described as when two different voices would sing the same melody using the most comfortable parts of their ranges, causing a succession of parallel intervals to be produced. It can also be viewed as a result of philosophical assumption on the possibility of synchronized interval performances. In order to understand the earliest stages of its development, we must rely on theoretical treatises. These are the technical descriptions of part singing, that have a distinguishing name, organum.

Organums can be found in theoretical works by the ninth and tenth centuries, but we do not find any signs of the early history or an attachment to any specific region in them. Conversely, these treatises describe and arrange practices that may well have been widespread and could be considered a custom, not a novelty. Another theory of when European polyphony came about begins when the rivalry between the Western and Eastern churches reached a crisis in 1054. When that was taking place, scholars believe polyphony slowly made its way into church music.
So instead of monophony or heterophony, we started seeing separate voices sing together, not in unison or octaves but as diverging parts. In the eleventh century, when singers began improvising under the limits of certain rules left from simple parallel motion to give these parts some independence, a development unique to music history began. This was not a speedy process though, there were no sudden, sharp breaks with the past, these changes came about gradually.
Although we saw polyphony develop from the churches, we have good reason to believe that polyphony existed in Europe long before it was first unmistakably described. Melodic doubling at the third, fourth, or fifth, along with heterophony is found in many cultures and probably existed also in Europe. Unfortunately, no documents of such early European polyphony survive. But the first clear depiction of music for more than one vocal part, written in the ninth century, absolutely refers to a practice already in use, not a new one being proposed.
Passages in an anonymous treatise, Musica enchiriadis and in a dialogue associated with it, Scolica enchiriadis, describe and illustrate two distinct kinds of "singing together," both labeled by the name organum. People would sing in parallel fourths sometimes results in a tritone. To evade this undesirable sound, a rule banned the organal voice from going below G or C in these circumstances. Instead, it was expected to stay on one note until it was safe once again to proceed in parallel fourths without meeting another tritone.
Under this practice, the organal part became separated from the plainchant and a larger diversity of synchronized intervals came into use, not all of them familiar consonances. This lead to what we now know and understand as today's standard notation and rules for writing polyphony. Works Cited "The Beginning of Polyphony. " About. com Music Education. N. p. , n. d.
