A Lot Still Needs to be Done at Copenhagen!
I have been following developments at the United Nations Climate Change Conference now underway in Copenhagen with concern if not dismay.
While there have been encouraging developments, particularly the commitment by the European Union, the proposal from the United States and China, by far the world's largest per capita contributors to the global greenhouse gas build-up, has been nothing short of apathetic.
By contrast, the EU has made a legally binding commitment to cut its emissions by 20 per cent over the same period, and would increase the cut to 30 per cent if other countries committed to "comparable action".
China, which is now the biggest global emitter of greenhouse gases has promised carbon intensity, cuts of 40-45 per cent. Which actually only amounts to about a disappointing four per cent each year!
It's clear that a lot still needs to be done at the talks; but I'm sure that meaningful progress will only be achieved with increased resolve by all negotiators and, especially, better management from the US and China.
There's a sign in Calibishie on a building that used to house Domcan's. The place of business closed and moved to Castle Bruce about a decade ago, but the sign still proclaims the place is open for business. There's a doctor whose new office is across form the Police Station on the Bay Street in Portsmouth, but a sign on a pharmacy on the next street still proclaims that the doctor's office is there, and gives an old and wrong phone number.
I suppose that in Dominica everyone knows who's who and where things are anyhow, because it's all a rather small, tight-knot community. And that's good – as far as it goes. But it sure can mislead and confuse us newcomers!
All I ask is that old and misleading signs either be torn down or painted over. Is that too much to ask?
People discover our Web site (dan-ruth-tanner.com) and write saying "you've found Utopia" or words to that effect. That's nonsense. There is no Utopia. People everywhere are the same; human nature is the only universal constant.
You will have to learn to do without many conveniences that you were used to. Don't ever expect punctuality. Never, ever, pay for anything until all work is complete and to your satisfaction. Don't buy a vehicle that had been used here – it probably won't have been maintained properly and may have jury-rigged repairs; import your vehicle.
Many things that you're used to may be impossible to find here or nearly prohibitively expensive. Many manufactured products available here are made for 3rd-world markets and while the lowest-priced are often shoddy; while 1st-quality goods tend to cost far more than in the US or Europe.
There are numerous Web sites that offer quality brand-name appliances set up to run at the 220-240VAC/50Hz UK-type electrical power available in Dominica. From personal experience, I recommend Kunst Electronics and Home Appliances. They explained why a US 220V dryer won't work here (the US uses split-phase 110V and only the dryer's heater is 220V; the motor is 110V and would burn out) and when a surge blew the control circuit board in our refrigerator Mr. Kunst personally phoned in response to our service-request e-mail in mere minutes, helped us locate the GE part; discounted it and expedited its delivery – what a hero!). Now we double-protect our refrigerator with an additional protector at the outlet. And we unplug it during outages and plug it in again after the returned power stabilizes.
You'll need a transformer anyhow because many things can't be bought in 220V versions, even here. Courts only offer 110V vacuum cleaners. LIME provided us with an 110V modem and cell-phone charger. Be aware that power (watts) simply adds up. Domlec claims that a 2000W transformer left plugged in uses over EC$100 per month, but that's patent nonsense. We have an always-on 5000W transformer and our total bill has never reached as much as $EC90. And, a transformer also acts so as to smooth power surges. If you're worried about power interruptions affecting your PC use, employ a laptop (which can run on 110V/60Hz or 220V/50Hz and is buffered from power failure by its battery. Or bring an UPS (uninterrupted power supply).
It can be difficult or expensive to get your US funds here and/or it can take a long time. We found a method that works well for us: You can get a free on-line FDIC insured account via the Charles Schwab web site. We use the on-line bill-pay feature of our Bank of America account to transfer money to the Schwab account. Schwab lets you withdraw funds in local currency at any ATM displaying the VISA logo, and that's just about every ATM in Dominica. Schwab gives the full exchange rate and even refunds to your account any ATM or other charges. You don't want to have too much of your savings here; keep them in the USA in an FDIC-insured institution.
This is the tropics, so expect more bugs. Ants are everywhere. Some species go after your food. Some are scavengers of dead insects, etc. "Wood ants" are actually termites – be on guard against them. We've experienced some gnat plagues of practically biblical proportions. Big yellow spiders like to hide under things in dark corners. Millipedes will crawl into your house. Centipedes, which have a dangerous bite, hide in damp dark places outside usually, but will come into houses. Large roaches also come inside.
Be on guard against mice and rats; leave nothing around that will attract them. "Regular" trash collection is anything but regular or dependable. We rinse all cans and bottles and foil, etc and keep that in a container for trash collection. We compost all vegetable matter. We burn all waste paper, plastic, wood etc. (Rinse or tie any plastic bags slated for burning to prevent drawing ants.) Waste animal matter (bones, fat, offal from cleaning fish, etc) must be disposed of promptly and properly. Otherwise you'll have maggots, feral dogs and cats tearing up garbage bags, ants and rot odor all amazingly quickly. You can find a place to feed this stuff to scavenging dogs and/or cats. You can bury it – deep. You can toss waste from fish into the sea, where scavengers will do their job. If you're making a fire, you can burn it and rake out the bones and ash to mix with compost.
Keep all your receipts. Even the government offices and some businesses "lose" records. We know of a number of people who have had to pay deposits and fees twice, or who can't return items that are defective. Check the expiration date on anything you purchase. Test everything before leaving the store if possible.
Expect your plans to go awry. I was going to take regular long walks, but an arthritic hip ended that plan. I was going to help at a friend's garden to get in better shape, but I realized that even the walk to it would be too much for me. The time, the heat of the sun, the humidity, eroding willpower all conspire against the planner.
Have a hobby. There's only so much hiking, snorkeling, swimming and gardening you can do, and you don't want to be fighting boredom.
You'll need to have a US address in order to maintain a US bank account, have and renew credit cards, etc. Choose a reliable friend or relation to provide that address and to forward your mail to you – and expect forwarding to take an average of 3 weeks.
Make arrangements for your health (including dental) care and bring a supply of any prescription medications that you use. Pharmacies here can't dispense to a foreign doctor's prescription, and many medicines aren't available here.
Get used to certain tropical conditions: high humidity, "blast" from the sea that corrodes nearly anything and has strange effects on many materials, huge raindrops driving in close to horizontally by squall gusts, and high clay content mud that has incredible adhesiveness and slipperiness when wet and is nearly concrete hard when dry.
But we're not complaining – just being realistic. We love it here and wouldn't change any of the choices we've made. If you decide on Dominica too, we can only hope you're as pleased as we are.


There's a Winter Weather Advisory in effect for Downeast Maine and the Bangor area beginning at Midnight, Monday, December 17th and lasting until 1AM on Tuesday, December 18th.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou snow may mix with sleet early Monday. Along the immediate coast snow may mix with or change to all rain Monday morning before turning back to all snow on Monday afternoon. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are expected withe the highest amounts inland from the coast.
Want to know if you should finish your homework? (You should) Want to know if you should study for that test or exam Monday? (You should). Want to know if you should stay up and not worry about school Monday? There's a snow day calculator for you to help give you the odds of having a snow day in the near future!
It's pretty simple. You enter your zip code, how many snow days you have already had, and then what kind of school you go to. Then the calculator figures out the probability that you won't have to go to school Monday, December 17th! Pretty simple, but to insure you don't have school, I would still suggest going to bed with your pajamas on backwards!

How Ohio's Native Sacred Sites Became a Religious Flashpoint
By Marion L. Miele on	 December 21, 2021 Women And Religion
COLUMBUS, Ohio (RNS) – Chief Glenna Wallace spent the summer solstice last June trekking the narrow asphalt path that surrounds Serpent Mound, a low serpentine earth wall built by her ancestors hundreds, if not thousands of years.
Wallace, who heads the Shawnee Tribe of Eastern Oklahoma, was joined by Chief Ben Barnes of the Shawnee Tribe, and the two spoke to crowds of visitors to the historic site about their tribes' ties to the mound. and 19th century policies that forced them out of the area.
"We ran programs to let people know that tribes still exist, that people still exist," Wallace told Religion News Service in a recent phone call. "We're still alive, we're still active. These are still spiritual places for us.
As they spoke, the sounds of flute music and a "Native American style" drum demonstration filtered through the air from the nearby Soaring Eagle retreat, where people had gathered to commemorate the solstice with crystal workshops and a presentation by a local Bigfoot investigator and other speakers who suggested aliens or giants built the mound.
Southern Ohio is home to more than 70 earthworks built by the indigenous Adena and Hopewell cultures. These structures are still important to their descendants – the Shawnee, Eastern Shawnee, Miami and Delaware who were driven from the area 200 years ago by white American settlers. Some of the structures were built as burial mounds, while others functioned as astronomical observatories or ritual or religious structures.
But the mounds have taken on significance for other spiritual groups as well. Terri Rivera, who has been inviting people to celebrate equinoxes and solstices at Serpent Mound for a decade, believes the site should be open to anyone who considers it a sacred place.
"For me it's a real place of healing," Rivera said during a visit to the mound in November. "I think people were probably drawn here because of the energy fields."
Theories about the origins of the burial mounds have also led to attacks from marginal evangelical Christians who view them as ungodly. Tribal leaders responded by educating locals about the mounds and working with groups such as the Ohio History Connection, the nonprofit that runs Serpent Mound and other mounds throughout Ohio, to make sure that they are respected.
"We believe that some of the activities that have taken place there in the past are in direct violation of our beliefs," Wallace said. "And therefore we ask that our practices not be violated."
Their efforts are part of a larger battle for access to sacred sites, from the mountains of Arizona to the rivers of North Dakota, to push back developers or government agencies to preserve physical integrity directly related to their spiritual value.
The federal government is sometimes a partner, sometimes not. In Ohio, the United States is working to add nine Ohio earthworks, including Serpent Mound, to UNESCO's World Heritage List, a move that would provide additional resources to save the mounds .
The interest of practitioners of alternative faiths is also a mixed blessing. While the New Ages often share a belief in the spiritual power of Native American sites, they have occasionally caused damage. In 2012, a group called Unite the Collective, whose members identified themselves as "Light Warriors," buried hundreds of orgonites – balls of crystals and resin, often made in muffin tins – at Serpent Mound. in order to concentrate the vibrations of the earth.

Sites like Serpent Mound have served as gathering places for New Age spiritual practitioners since the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, when believers gathered on a day they believed to be auspicious according to the Mayan calendar. The Newark earthworks, about 40 minutes east of Columbus, have also drawn attention for being supposedly built along Ley Lines – invisible grid lines that channel "earthly energies."
In 2011, Serpent Mound was featured on an episode of the History Channel's "Ancient Aliens", in which several people claimed that the mound may have been used as a landing site by aliens. (Rivera's husband Tom Johnson appeared as a guest on the show, saying he had heard such stories.)
And on the eve of the winter solstice last December, Dave Daubenmire, a conservative activist and leader of Pass the Salt Ministries in Hebron, Ohio, led a group to Serpent Mound to perform a prayer to cast demons away from the site. Daubenmire said in a video on Facebook that he believed the Ohio Earthworks were built by Nephilim, a race of giants who some say are the offspring of fallen angels and human women.
For many, these claims echo the racist "mound-builder myth", which attributes the building of the mounds to an ancient white race – an idea used by 19e-century politicians to justify the expulsion of indigenous tribes from their lands.
Daubenmire's group was greeted by protesters from the American Indian Movement of Ohio, although the organization was not sanctioned by the official American Indian Movement. (The group's director, Philip Yenyo, identifies himself as a Native American but is of Hungarian and Mexican Spanish descent, according to AIM.)
Rivera criticized both Unite the Collective and Pass the Salt Ministries, saying the mounds provide an opportunity for people with different beliefs to come together, as long as they respect the site.
"One of our sayings for our events is: all nations, all races, all relationships," said Rivera, who describes himself as having Native American ancestors but is not a member of a recognized tribe. "So it's time to stop dividing. Just say, hey, let's all be friends.
But Wallace said the belief in the spiritual power of the mounds can cause people to disrespect the history and sanctity of the mounds. She saw people using drugs in Serpent Mound during the Winter Solstice and heard of people having sex there, believing it would increase their fertility. Even the drum that took place on the last solstice event, although characterized by the organizers as "ceremonial," seemed disrespectful to Wallace – more like a "rock concert" than an act of reverence.
Joe Laycock, assistant professor of religious studies at Texas State University, said interest in Native American traditions dates back to the spiritualist movement of the 1800s, when settlers' guilt for the displacement and destruction of Native communities may have had them. driven to obsession. It exploded in the 1960s, when alternative spiritual practitioners began to incorporate "pseudo-native" folklore.
The syncretism of the New Age movement – what Laycock calls a "sectarian milieu" of different spiritual beliefs and practices – is evident in Rivera's rally in December. The event will include a Peruvian healing ceremony, presentation by a psychic medium and "animal communicator", ceremonial drums, lessons in "sacred geology" and traditional Maori dance, or haka.
Not all who attend these gatherings identify as New Age – including Rivera, who has said she is largely spiritual – but this type of big tent approach is a hallmark of the movement, Laycock said.
This year, following input from Wallace and Barnes, OHC began preventing groups from assembling directly on the mound, meaning the Rivera Serpent Mound Star Knowledge Winter Solstice Peace Summit will be held at six. miles from Serpent Mound.
Whatever their beliefs, visitors to the mounds should show respect for the spiritual nature of the sites, said John Low, director of the Newark Earthworks Center and registered citizen of the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi Indians. The mounds are no less sacred than a church or mosque, Low said, although their sacredness is unrelated to what is being built on the land.
"The land they are built on was sacred, is sacred, always will be sacred," Low said.

Robin stuck in glue trap left out for vermin
The RSPCA is warning about the dangers of glue traps after a robin had to be rescued after he got stuck on one in Luton.
The animal welfare charity was called on Thursday after the robin was spotted on the trap in the garden of a house in Stoneygate Road.
Kate Wright, animal collection officer said: "The person who put the trap down was absolutely horrified.
"He had put it down because of rats but when he saw the robin on it he was really upset and realised the damage that glue traps can do. He said that after seeing it, he would never use a glue trap again and wished he hadn't put one down in the first place.
"The poor robin had got one of his wings completely stuck in the glue and was unable to move at all.
"I took him to a private wildlife centre and thankfully he is doing well. He has a few lesions from the trap but he is recovering and it is hoped that he will soon be released back into the wild.
"He had a lucky escape because it does not always turn out this way when an animal gets stuck on a glue trap. If he had been left there then he would have died a slow death from dehydration, starvation or exhaustion.
"When animals cross the glue trap board they become stuck by their feet and when the struggle, other parts of their body then become stuck. In attempting to get free they may rip out patches of fur, break bones and even gnaw through their own limbs to escape. Glue traps are inhumane and indiscriminate and we urge people to think twice before using one."
Glue traps - also known as 'glue boards' or 'sticky boards' - consist of a sheet of cardboard, plastic or wood coated with non-drying adhesive. It is legal to use them to catch rats and mice.
But it is an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act to kill or injure wild birds so anyone using them should take precautions to avoid death or injury to protected animals or wildlife.
Anyone with any information about shops selling glue traps to the public can contact the wildlife department by emailing wildlife@rspca.org.uk.
To report a live animal caught in a glue trap, contact the RSPCA's cruelty line on 0300 1234 999.

The Bombing of Sendai in World War II (仙台空襲, Sendai-kūshū?) on July 10, 1945 was part of the strategic bombing campaign waged by the United States of America against military and civilian targets and population centers during the Japan home islands campaign in the closing stages of World War II.[1]
2 The Sendai air raid
The city of Sendai was the largest population and commercial center of the Tohoku region of northern Honshu island, but lacked specific targets of strategic military significance. The Tōhoku Main Line railway connecting Tokyo with Aomori also ran through the city.[2]
The industrial city of Kamaishi was bombed on July 14th, 1945, which was also the first air raid experienced in Miyagi Prefecture during the war. The first experience of Sendai with bombing was on March 10, 1945, when three B-29 Superfortress bombers from the Tokyo Air Raid dropped their bomb load on Mount Zaō for unknown reasons, killing 34 civilians, and an additional two B-29 bombers attacked Sendai Airport causing minor damage.
On May 25, 1945 a photo-reconnaissance B-29 overflew Sendai at an altitude of 8000 feet, compiling a detailed map of the downtown area of the city. On July 10, 1945 another B-29 made an over flight of Sendai, this time dropping propaganda leaflets warning the residents of the city of its imminent destruction.
The Sendai air raid
Area destroyed by the Sendai Air Raid
On July 19, 1945, 131 B-29 bombers from the USAAF 58th Bombardment Wing launched from Tinian island in the Marianas. Several aircraft turned back due to mechanical problems, and 123 aircraft arrived over the target at an altitude of 10,000 feet at just after midnight in the early morning of July 20, 1945.[3] The bombers split into 25 groups of between two and five aircraft each to carpet bomb the densely packed residential center of the city with 10,961 incendiary bombs. The resultant firestorm destroyed most of the historic center of city.[4] As a result of this one attack, 2755 civilians were killed and 57,321 were injured (approximately 26% of the population at the time). A five square kilometer portion of the center of the city was totally destroyed, with 11,933 residences burned (approximately 23% of the city). Also lost in the bombing were a number of cultural treasures, include the structures of Sendai Castle, and the Zuihoden mausoleum of Date Masamune. On the other hand, the large Sendai Arsenal, and the structures of the IJA 2nd Division were untouched by the air raid.
During the air raid, one B-29 was destroyed on the runway at Tinian (its crew escaped without injury) and no aircraft were lost over Japan. A year after the war, the United States Army Air Forces's Strategic Bombing Survey (Pacific War) reported that 21.9 percent of the city had been totally destroyed.[5]
Sendai experienced a number of minor air raids afterwards. On July 12, a single B-29 dropped 36 incendiary bombs on a Sendai suburb. On July 13, July 25, August 9 and August 10, the city and airport were bombed and strafed by United States Navy carrier-based aircraft.

Activist/author David Swanson returns to talk about his latest book, War Is a Lie and Rev. Susan B. Thistlethwaite on her new book, Dreaming of Eden: American Religion and Politics in a Wired World. Swanson is the veteran activist who worked for ACORN and was press secretary on the 2004 presidential campaign of Dennis Kucinich. He writes and speaks passionately about America's wars, past and present, and how war fever is generated by politicians and the media with deception and manipulation. Informed by WikiLeaks, we identify some of the current lies that surround our military operations in Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen, and we talk about the role of the corporate media in promoting propaganda over truth. Swanson will be in California starting 12/18. While the book is available at Amazon, Swanson is boycotting Amazon for cutting off WikiLeaks servers. You can get his book for half price, and get details on his speaking tour here. Rev. Thistlethwaite is a UCC minister and former president of the Chicago Theological Seminary, where she is now a professor. In our second segment starting at 54:00, she talks about the dangers of religious fundamentalism in our wired world, the need for progressive Christian voices to counter the impact of Christian fundamentalists, and the false notion of American exceptionalism most recently promoted by Sarah Palin. We also talk about the fight for economic justice that is playing out in the battle over the Bush tax cuts. Thistlethwaite is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, and you can read her recent commentaries here.

Is Handwriting Analysis Admissible Evidence?
In 2000, a woman named Susan Berman was found dead with a gunshot to the back of the head. Shortly after the murder, an anonymous individual sent a card to the police telling them that there was a body in Berman's home. She was found, but her murder remained unresolved, as there was no physical evidence to match to a suspect. However, in 2004 Berman's stepson, "The Jinx," found some letters in her possessions from Robert Durst, Berman's friend and colleague. The Jinx brought them to the police, and after a thorough handwriting analysis of the letters and the card, experts determined that the samples were a match. Furthermore, Durst's letters revealed the same misspelling as the note to the police: Beverly Hills: "Bevereley Hills." The letters indicated that their friendship was not so friendly after all.
Finally, with some evidence to work off of, the police started keeping a closer eye on Durst. Though the handwriting analysis was not enough to convict him, it pointed them in the right direction. Fifteen years later, thanks to that handwriting sample, the police were finally able to come up with enough evidence to arrest Durst. If not for the handwriting sample, Berman's murder may still be unsolved.
Robert Durst was arraigned on Nov. 7, 2016. He is currently awaiting trial.
Durst Case Calls Into Question the Admissibility of Handwriting Analysis
Handwriting analyses have always been questionable evidence, and there was even a time when handwriting as evidence was challenged in the D.C. Superior Court (Robert E. Pettus, Appellant, v. United States, Appellee). When the challenge was brought to the D.C. Court of Appeals in February of 2012, the courts "held that handwriting comparison and identification, as practiced by FBI examiners, passes the Frye test for admissibility." Yet, as the Durst trial is about to start, handwriting as evidence has again become an issue.
While some experts believe that handwriting analyses are legitimate evidence, many more call it "junk science," and "subjective." However, new technology such as FISH (Forensic Information System for Handwriting) has, in prosecutors' opinions, elevating handwriting analysis from a junk science to actual science. In the court of law, any scientific evidence can be admitted if the court feels that the evidence will assist the jury in understanding the evidence.
Even with technology such as FISH, speculators guess that Durst's lawyers will challenge the particular handwriting samples in question, as initially, experts thought that Durst's manager wrote the note to the police; it was not until a few years later, when handwriting examiners received more samples of Durst's handwriting, that they changed their opinion. This calls into question the very reliability of handwriting as evidence.
While Durst's homicide defense lawyers will argue to get the evidence thrown out, or to even have the case dismissed due to unreliable evidence, there is plenty of more evidence damning to Durst's case, such as unrehearsed statements he made to HBO or into the mic while in the bathroom when he thought he was not being recorded.
All in all, Durst's case is a challenging one, but with the right criminal defense team on his side, he might just get acquitted.

Q: select all rows with a minimum value In Sqlite 3 I'm trying to figure out how to select rows based on a minimum value.  I think that I'm limited by not knowing enough of the related terminology to effectively search google.
The table looks like:
num         text        num2
----------  ----------  ----------
0           a           1
0           a           2
1           a           3
1           b           4

I want to get the rows where num2 is 1, 2, and 4.  I want to do the selection based on the minimum value of num for each unique value of the text column.
So, for text = 'a', the minimum value of numis 0, so I want rows 1 and 2.  For text = 'b', the minimum value of num is 1, so I want row 4.
Using various combination of group by, I'm able to get either rows 1 and 2 or rows 1 and 4.  I feel like I'm missing a SQL component that would do what I want, but I haven't been able to figure out what it could be.
What is the proper way to do this type of query?
Possible Solution
I've found a way to do this.  I'm not reputable enough to answer my own question, so I'm doing the update here.  I'm not sure if it is always correct or what the efficiency is like.  Any comments are welcome.
I used a compound select statement, where one query finds the minimum value of num for each unique value of text:
sqlite> select num, text from t group by text having num = min( num );
num         text
----------  ----------
0           a
1           b

Then I joined this with the full table to get all rows matching these two columns.
sqlite> with u as
      ( select num, text from t group by text having num = min( num ) )
        select t.* from t join u on t.num = u.num and t.text = u.text;
num         text        num2
----------  ----------  ----------
0           a           1
0           a           2
1           b           4

A: So how can you find the answer for your question yourself the next time? In my opinion, it is by decomposing and following the logic. And you got that right:

I want to do the selection based on the minimum value of num for each unique value of the text column

This translates to:
select text, min(num) from t group by text;

(This should be equivalent to your having query. It might be interesting to have a look at the rows where num equals NULL. The be more precise: Have a look what effect rows with nulls have, which you might want to filter out first with a where num is not null)
From here you can achieve your wanted result by:
select * from t where (num, text) in ( *insert query above* )

Or using a join:
select t1.* from t t1,
    (select text, min(num) as n from t group by text) t2
where t1.num = t2.n and t1.text = t2.text.

And when performance is not sufficient for your tables, start looking at more complex statements.

A: As you have seen, a simple GROUP BY will not work because it would return only one record per group.
Your join works fine.
For a large table, it will be efficient only if there is an index on the join columns (num and text).
Alternatively, you could use a correlated subquery:
SELECT *
FROM t
WHERE num = (SELECT MIN(num)
             FROM t AS t2
             WHERE t2.text = t.text);

SQLFiddle
When being executed, this query does not require a temporary table (your query does for the result of u), but will execute the subquery for each record in t, so text should be indexed. (Or use an index on both text and num to get a covering index.)

A: I tend to do this type of thing with an outer self join:
SELECT
    M1.Num,
    M1.Text,
    M1.Num2
FROM
    MyDb M1
LEFT OUTER JOIN
    MyDB M2
ON
    M1.text = M2.text
AND
    M1.num > m2.num
WHERE
    M2.num is null

This is basically saying; give me all records that don't have a higher value i.e. null.

A: Shouldn't be this query exactly what you need?
select min(num), text, num2 group by text, num2

Q: Cannot get .click(function() to work in jQuery Some of my homework requires me to translate all my javascript code to as much jQuery as possible. I am seeming to have serious issues with this. The main thing I was having problems with, one of many, was the .click function. Here is my code. I cut out the entire program to get just this part to work then move on. If you want to see the full code, let me know.
(document).ready(function() {

  $("start_test").click (function() {

    <input type="button" id="start_test" value="Start Test" />

        <input type="button" value="        " />

Time remaining: 10

I have tried all different combinations to get the button to work and the only was I was able to get it to work was to use $("input").click but then all the buttons did the action. What am I missing?

A: It should be $("#start_test") instead of $("start_test") because you're targeting an element with ID and IDs are marked with #


Description: Scales that are psychometrically sound, meaning those that meet established standards regarding reliability and validity when measuring one or more constructs of interest, are customarily evaluated based on a set modality (i.e., computer or paper) and administration (fixed-item order). Deviating from an established administration profile could result in non-equivalent response patterns, indicating the possible evaluation of a dissimilar construct. Randomizing item administration may alter or eliminate these effects. Therefore, we examined the differences in scale relationships for randomized and nonrandomized computer delivery for two scales measuring meaning/purpose in life. These scales have questions about suicidality, depression, and life goals that may cause item reactivity (i.e. a changed response to a second item based on the answer to the first item). Results indicated that item randomization does not alter scale psychometrics for meaning in life scales, which implies that results are comparable even if researchers implement different delivery modalities.

As we conclude our series on 1 John, we examine 1 John 5:16–21.
One thing you can "be sure of is that your sins will find you out." you can hide sin for a season, but it will always find you. It reminds me of the young couple about to get married.
The young man went to his dad and said, "I'm a bit apprehensive about getting married, Dad". "why, son", said the dad. "well, I've got terribly smelly feet dad and it'll be so embarrassing when my wife finds out". "don't worry about it, son, just be sure to go to bed with your socks on and she'll never notice the smell. You'll be fine". Meanwhile, the young lady goes to her mother and tells her, "I'm a bit worried about getting married, mom, because I've got terrible bad breath in the mornings and it'll be so embarrassing when my husband finds out". Mom says to her daughter, "don't worry, dear. All you need to do is, be sure not to open your mouth first thing in the morning. Don't say a single word until you've been to the bathroom and brushed your teeth." The wedding goes off fine and for six months they each manage to keep their secrets safe. Then one morning at about 5.00 am, the young husband wakes up and suddenly realizes one of his socks has come off in bed. He frantically rummages around under the bed clothes trying to find this elusive smelly sock when suddenly his young wife wakes up. As he pops his head out from under the blankets she says to him, "what on earth are you doing"? He replies, "oh no, you've eaten one of my socks"!
You can hide something for a while, but when you least expect it you will be exposed.
John shows us that we can sin for a season, but it doesn't come without a cost. A Christian that keeps on sinning will suffer two punishments: discipline or death.
If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death. 18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know shim who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
The verse reads, "if anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life" (1 John 5:16). Apparently, this idea was familiar to the first century believers, but is somewhat of a mystery to us. All sin leads to spiritual death or separation from God. But there are some sins that lead to physical death.
First of all, John is talking about believers. The one committing the sin unto death is a brother which is his title for a follower of Christ.
Early Church father Tertullian taught that Christians could not commit sins such as: murder, idolatry, fraud, denial of Christ, blasphemy, adultery, and fornication because God would not forgive these sins. The Roman Catholic Church categorizes sins into venial sins, which can be forgiven, and mortal sins that result in spiritual death. Unfortunately, the Bible makes no such distinction. And if Tertullian's list was correct, men in the Bible such as David, solomon, peter, and paul would all be in hell!
We have four options for interpreting the sin that leads to death: murder, apostasy, blasphemy against the holy spirit, or unbridled, continuous sin.
We know that murder cannot be the sin that leads to death because David wouldn't have lived.
We know that it probably is not apostasy since tat genuine believers don't leave the faith.
So what it is? Before I tell you what I think it is, let me talk about what happens when someone sins. When an unbeliever sins, he or she "stores up wrath for themselves on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed" according to Romans. 2:5.
Moses was disciplined by not being allowed to enter the promise land.
David was disciplined and not to build the temple.
Samson lost his power, his hair, and ultimately, his life.
Jonah refused to speak for the Lord and was eaten by a whale.
Peter was disciplined several times by Jesus.
God forgives our sins. However, God will discipline us when we sin. There are consequences for sin. Think twice before you engage in sin.
Sin, if continued, may end in physical death. Does the Bible contain examples of this? Yes. There was a situation in Corinth where God chastened some believers for taking the Lord's supper in an unworthy manner. As a result, they became sick and ill. Some even died (1 Corinthians 11:30). Ananias and Sapphira, did not lose their salvation, but their physical life on earth was ended. They sold a piece of property and pretended to give all of the proceeds to the Church when in reality they kept back part of the money for themselves. They lied by saying they gave all the money to the Church, and God struck each of them dead on the spot. I don't think the "sin unto death" is a single, isolated act. It is acts of sin that are repeated over and over by the disobedient child of God. Notice that John says, "if a man sees his brother." this indicates an open action against God which affected the entire congregation. He just got finished talking about having our prayers answered in verse 14. He then encourages us to pray for believers who are in sin. However, there is sin where our prayers will not be heard. It is the sins of a believer who is on the path to death. John says that we need not pray for such a person. There is no remedy. Instead of the believer continuing to waste his life and drag Christ's name through the mud, God removes them from the world.
I don't know what the sin that leads to death is, but I do know this: I don't want to find out. Listen to me closely, you don't want to prematurely stand before God as a believer because you refused to repent of sin. If you are in sin now, run to God. Get out immediately. Don't wait brother or sister. Respond to God, when he disciplines you.
Here's something to consider: maybe the reason you habitually sin is because you are an unbeliever. By remaining in sin, you are revealing who you really are.
Verse 18, "we know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 we know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20 and we know that the son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
Who is the one born of God who protects believers? It is Jesus. It is unlikely that John is talking about us guarding ourselves, but that Jesus is the one who guards us. Tthe evil one does not touch the believer" Touch is more than to place a hand on someone. It means to grab hold of a person. Because we are sealed in Christ, satan cannot lay hold of your life. "The world lies in the power of the evil one." lie means to be caught in the grip of. The whole world lies asleep in the arms of the devil. He says, "sh-sh-hhh hush! You're waking people up, and we don't want to do that! They are very comfortable. Many people in Churches are dead in trespasses and sins, and we don't want to wake them up. Let's leave them alone." He feeds us lies so we buy into his plan.
Dr. David Allen reminds us that some of the most enticing, creative commercials on television are beer commercials.
First, you will never find someone over 30 drinking beer in the commercials. The ads appeal to a younger generation. Second, the beer can in the commercial, it is always brand new. Third, the cars in the commercial are dream cars. You won't find a Fiat, Kia, Hyundai, Ford or Chevy. You will find a Corvettes, Porsches, or Jaguars. Fourth, every beer commercial has attractive women in scandalizing outfits. Every one of them just walked off the runway. All of the men are thin, muscular, and good looking. No beer bellies or unshaven facial hair in the ad. Finally, the scene is a party with a DJ spinning dance music in the background. Everyone is having the time of their lives, kicking back cans of ice cold beer. The entire ad is an illusion. That never happens.
What if they showed you what actually happened after a night of drinking: puking on the side of the road, ruined lives, car accidents, mangled bodies, broken families, emptied bank accounts, and hospital visits. What if they talked about the 100 million alcoholics in the world, or the 80,000 alcohol related deaths annually, or the 700,000 people injured from alcohol related accidents, or the 6,000 teens who die every year because of alcohol. But the Devils' lies go well beyond alcohol. He lure us with vanity—to look a certain way.
Immorality—to indulge in sinful things.
Jesus sets us free from the shackles of sins. He gives us purpose and a new identity in him. We are able to discern the truth because we "know him who is true." Know doesn't mean head knowledge but experiential knowledge. What's the difference?
Some of you came to Church for years and participated in singing worship songs to the Lord as an unbeliever. You sat through countless sermons but they never affected you. But once you got saved, you were thrilled by them. The worship music moved you to tears. The sermons touched your heart. That is the affirmation of the new birth.
John ends his letter with a line that catches us off guard. This is the summary verse of the entire book. When you give up idols, everything is affected in your life: actions, attitudes, words, thoughts, and deeds. Idolatry may surprise your twenty-first-century ears. I am confident that most if not all of you are not carving idols for worship in your home. But they come in different forms. Our idols consist of metal, plastic, rubber, upholstery and glass. We call them automobiles. Some idols come in the form of flesh and blood. We call them relationships. Other idols can be fame, fortune, or popularity. They come in raises and promotions at our jobs.
John lived in Ephesus, which was the epicenter of idolatry in the Roman empire. The goddess Diana was believed to reside in the temple of Diana in Ephesus. The temple took 200 years to complete and was 420 feet long and 220 feet wide and was one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. Ionic pillars soared 60 feet into the air. In the center of the temple stood the goddess Diana, robed in a veil of persian silk. Small replicas of the temple and images of the goddess could be purchased for worship outside the temple.
How do I know if something is idolatrous?
If your thoughts move to your car, your business, your home, your investment, to your husband, wife, or child,To that which feeds lust or pride, worldliness or covetousness. The greatest idol is self. One author said, "we are trying to hold at bay the gnats of small sins while swallowing the camel of self." The cult of our personality is alive and well with such phrases as self-help, self-image, and self-esteem. I think you can sum up 1 John with the last verse. When we stop idolizing ourselves we can love God and love others.
The early Italian reformer Savonarola is well known for his desire to cleanse florence of materialism and immorality by having people get rid of their material possessions that tempted them to have an immoral lifestyle in the "bonfire of vanity." Savonarola once saw an elderly woman worshipping at a statue of the Virgin Mary. He observed her daily trek to pay homage to the statue and was impressed with her devotion and virtue. He inquired about the woman's commitment to a fellow priest, who warned Savonarola that things are not always as they appear. Savonarola learned that this woman in her 20's had been the model for the artist's sculpture of mary. She had worshiped at the statue ever since.
God gives us 3 words for idols: tear them down.This means that we must work at keeping ourselves from idols. It's not passive but active. This is the only imperative in this section. John Owen said, "be killing sin or sin will be killing you." If you are in sin, repent now.

Ontario must stay the course on sex education: Editorial
Ontario government should debunk misinformation on its new sex education curriculum, and carry on with plans to introduce this important change.
Fri., May 1, 2015timer3 min. read
If you were following the protests against Ontario's planned new sex education curriculum, you'd think the majority of parents were against it.
As reported by the Star's Louise Brown, some 5,000 parents, largely in the GTA, have joined a Facebook group calling for a boycott of classes from May 4 to 10 to express their opposition to the curriculum.
And in mid-April, 3,000 parents came by the busload to Queen's Park to protest against it, some carrying signs saying "teach normal, not anal" and "pedophiles" will vote Liberal.
But the reality is this: these noisy protesters — many well-intentioned but confused, and some promoting misinformation and myths about the new curriculum — are a vocal minority.
What to do? First, the government should launch its own campaign to combat misinformation and misunderstanding to reassure parents who have been swayed by pamphlets, propaganda and prejudice.
Smartly, it released a guide to the course for parents, available online, when it first announced details of the new curriculum. But Premier Kathleen Wynne's recent offer to have education officials meet with parents at school board meetings should also help to counter erroneous information and calm anxieties.
Second, the government must stay the course with the new curriculum, which will be introduced in classes next fall.
It won't be easy. The opposition is vocal, virulent and organized.
Among the anti-sex ed propaganda is an anonymous letter being passed around Peel District schools in Arabic, Brown reports: "Our 12-year-old daughter or son . . . will be asked in class to explore his or her own body by touching their private parts, masturbating, and pleasuring their body." The new curriculum does no such thing.
Another letter circulating in Peel warns parents: "Anal Play 101 class in Grade 8" would actually provide instruction on anal sex play. Again, that's entirely false.
Meanwhile, anti-sex education monger Charles McVety, leader of the Institute of Canadian Values, is twisting the curriculum's new focus on "consent" by saying that "teachers will be forced to teach little children how to give permission for that child to engage in sex." The curriculum actually teaches kids how to say "no" and to understand the concept of consent before engaging in sex.
McVety is no newcomer to the anti-sex ed camp. He so successfully whipped up opposition to the curriculum when it was first proposed in 2010 that Wynne's predecessor, Dalton McGuinty, put the course on the back burner. That left teachers to work with study materials that hadn't been updated since 1998 — when there were no smart phones, "sexting" hadn't been invented and the issue of consent was not raised.
Now McVety is back. He was one of the leaders of the Queen's Park protest in April, declaring: "We don't send our kids to school to be taught masturbation." (The new sex ed material doesn't teach anything like that.)
The reality is that Ontario's two million students are studying the most outdated sex education material in Canada. Ninety per cent of Ontarians think the current sex ed course needed updating. And despite the misinformation campaign, 49 per cent of those polled supported the new curriculum versus 34 per cent who didn't.
That support reflects the fact that the government consulted hundreds of experts, educators and religious bodies, including more than 4,000 parents from elementary schools across the province, before giving the go-ahead for the new curriculum.
Among its supporters are the Institute for Catholic Education, People for Education, the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada, and the Ontario Public Health Association.
In the end, Ontario's new sex education curriculum is well-researched, well-planned, age-appropriate and long overdue.
The government should debunk the misunderstandings and misinformation, and then carry on with its plans to introduce this important change.


Sadly, in every game, there are winners and there are losers. Many say that all Tim Tebow does is win. In this case he has lost. Tebow put on a remarkable show last season in which he truly defied logic. Anybody who saw the Broncos making the playoffs heading into last season is full of it. Tebow got the very most out of his abilities and willed his team to victory after victory. The saying goes hard work beats talent any day of the week. And I fully believe this statement. Unfortunately for Tebow, Peyton Manning not only has twice the talent, but he also has an equivalent or stronger work ethic.
So the real question is what will be next for Tim Tebow? I was one of the many people who thought Tim Tebow's date with the Pittsburgh Steelers on January 8th would be the last game he suited up as the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos. I was wrong. It was the next to last game. Luckily for Tebow, he has options. Now I by no means am guaranteeing that he will be a starting quarterback next season. But the guy is a great football player who would be a positive influence in any locker room. He is the type of guy that any team in the League would want to have on the roster.
1. Jacksonville Jaguars: This is without question the most ideal landing spot for the former "Gator God." Tebow will always be a legend in Florida, but he is also a high school legend in the Jacksonville area where he starred at Nease High School. In addition, Chad Henne and Blaine Gabbert don't exactly strike me as franchise quarterbacks at this time.
2. San Francisco 49ers: Now you are probably mildly perplexed by this option. But it is not that far-fetched. There is still uncertainty regarding Alex Smith at this point. In addition, who would be a better man for the job of mentoring Tim Tebow than the NFL coaches version of David Blaine, Jim Harbaugh? It would be a project, but I do not think Jim Harbaugh has ever backed down from a challenge (at least as a coach).
3. New England Patriots: I would not be surprised if many of you are laughing out loud at this one. But hear me out. Though New England has not won a Super Bowl since 2004, they are still looked at as the "Yankees" of football. All Bill Belichick does is win. All Tom Brady does is win. All Tim Tebow does is win. Belichick has always been extremely creative. He could definitely find a spot in the locker room for this guy.
For all of my Midwest folks, it is common knowledge that Indiana is considered "the" basketball state in the Midwest. And after Indiana, people typically consider Kentucky to be the next best thing. Well this year's NCAA Tournament has provided a new perspective. Four of the final 16 teams are from the great state of Ohio. No state has every accomplished this feat. In addition, Ohio teams are a perfect 8 and 0 in the dance. Give a little love to the Buckeye State please.
There has not been too much positive press regarding the Mets for some time now. Yesterday, there was a step in the right direction. The club's financial future has been stabilized (at least for now). This is a definite victory off the field. Now wins on the field in 2012 may be another story.
Derek Fisher is a winner and has been one of the most clutch playoff performers in the NBA for the past 15 years. Talks are beginning to surface about a possible Fisher to Miami scenario. We do know that he will not be playing for the Los Angeles Lakers or the Houston Rockets. It is well documented that Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher are very close friends both on and off the court. And though Kobe does not admit to ever having a "real" rival, LeBron has always been considered the closest thing. Would Fisher really join forces with the "King" despite his friendship with Kobe?

My 15th country to visit, 21st solo backpacking trip, 3rd visa application for tourism on entire single page, 2nd winter snow travel, 2nd birthday getaway and of course, usual budget do-it-yourself itinerary from arrival to departure.
After four (4) attempts of planning for winter backpacking, finally I made it this January 2013. The first plan was on a flight date last Jan. 24 - Feb. 01, 2012 via Beijing-Shanghai-Guangzhou for a birthday trip. Due to change of workplace, I moved this plan to December 06-12, 2012 via Shanghai-Beijing but again not pursued due to unapproved vacation leave. I moved again this plan to Dec. 24 - Jan. 02, 2013 via Shanghai-Beijing-Xi amen but still, for the 3rd time, this trip did not worked-out due to heavy workload at office, how sad holiday celebration.
A nerve-wrecking and head-spinning PhP36,778.02 ($919.45) has to spend just to experience winter photo-ops in this world renowned magnificent architecture.
People's Republic of China is a vast country in Eastern Asia (about the same size as the United States of America) with the world's largest population. The 5000-year old Chinese civilization has endured through millennial of tumultuous upheaval and revolutions, periods of golden ages and anarchy alike. The depth and complexity of the Chinese civilization, with its rich heritage, has fascinated Westerners such as Marco Polo and Gottfried Leibniz in centuries past, and will continue to excite - and bewilder - the traveler today.
how to apply tourist visa in China?
Ever since I have been traveling, I have been an avid fan of the architectural greatness of early civilization. From Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia (2011), to the Temple of Jupiter in Balbek, Lebanon (2012), to the amazing Great Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt (2012) and down to Great Wall of China. Not only that, I experience this priceless moment of wall climbing in the peak of snowing weather.
Upon exiting the immigration counter and x-ray belt of Pudong Airport Terminal arrived in the middle of the night, I first took a glimpse due to unbelievable truth I am now in the China. There is still money changer open that time so before I took midnight meal in Burger King at the left side, I exchanged my USD. To my surprise, this was my 1st time to experience that a money changer will charge a whooping 60 cny (10 usd) for every single transaction. I have no choice but to just leave it as is. Metro subway will open at 0600H so after meal, I stay in the airport, as in sleeping in available series of vacant seats until before 0600H time.

Tropical Storm Karen speeds up after soaking Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
Posted 11:39 am, September 25, 2019, by CNN Wire Service, Updated at 11:40AM, September 25, 2019
PUERTO RICO — Tropical Storm Karen drenched south-central Puerto Rico, causing a river to wash away a bridge and cutting off at least 15 families, the National Weather Service said late Tuesday.
Even as Karen moves away from the US territory, it'll bring heavy rainfall, strong thunderstorms and flooding threats through Wednesday, forecasters said.
"This could be enough to bring down trees, and the infrastructure for power is still weak after Maria, so I anticipate power outages," CNN meteorologist Michael Guy said. "Strong rip currents will also be a danger for the next few days."
Tropical Storm Karen drenched south-central Puerto Rico, causing a river to wash away a bridge and cutting off at least 15 families, the National Weather Service said
By Wednesday morning, the center of Karen was 155 miles north-northeast of San Juan. The storm was hurling sustained winds up to 45 mph as it moved north at 14 mph.
"On the forecast track, the center of Karen will continue to move farther away from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands today through Thursday," though rains over those places are expected to continue Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said.
After leaving Puerto Rico, Karen is forecast to remain a tropical storm in the Atlantic for the next few days, not directly impacting land. Longer term, its direction and longevity is uncertain.
By storm's end, Karen will generally have dropped up to 6 inches of rain in Puerto Rico, with some isolated areas getting up to 8 inches. "These rains may cause flash flooding and mudslides, especially in mountainous areas," the hurricane center said.
The area of Coamo, where the bridge was destroyed, was inaccessible Tuesday night, said Gabriel Lojero, a meteorologist for the service in the capital of San Juan.
Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez Garced announced a price freeze order that covers gas, diesel and other essential products.
"We emphasize to the citizens to prepare with caution and evaluate if they need to go to a shelter," she tweeted Monday.
School is suspended Wednesday, Vázquez announced. Puerto Rico's Department of Education said on Monday that it's "taking the necessary measures" to guarantee security during the storm.

The City of London is the birthplace of London. It was a place of the original Roman settlement and later commercial and trading centre. Meanwhile. Westminster was outside London's walls and became England's administrative capital after its transfer from Winchester in the 11th century. When the first English Parliament was called here in the 13th century the Westminster area was a separate City of Westminster. So, London has no obvious centre, because it grew out of two formerly distinct cities.
Central London includes the West End. the City of Westminster and the City. This area is roughly bounded by the Underground Circle Line (the British call their underground "the tube).
