Q: How to keep data in-row in SQL Server I am trying to work out how to detect if data in a VARCHAR(n) column in SQL Server 2008 is being stored in-row or off-row.  Does anyone know how to do this?
Also, is there a way to keep the data in-row if we want it there?

A: To see if a value is in-row or off-row you can use DBCC PAGE
A way to force a VARCHAR(N) column to be in-row (not a VARCHAR(MAX) is to make it part of the clustered index key. This of course limits the length of the field to the maximum index key size of 900.

A: Check out the "large value types out of row" option in SQL Server, if it's a VARCHAR(MAX)   column.  The documentation is worth reading, because setting the option does not immediately convert the data in the table.
sp_tableoption N'MyTable', 'large value types out of row', 'OFF'

A: to show how large a row can be before out of row storage is used:
    select OBJECTPROPERTY(Object_id('TableName'), 'TableTextInRowLimit')

to specify in row storage for a table:
    sp_tableoption 'TableName', 'text in row', 'ON'

Regarding the American cabinet
All the president's men and women
Trying to read the tea leaves of American appointments and confirmations is somewhat to miss the point
Analects
by T.P. | BEIJING
IN THE months since China implemented its once-a-decade leadership transition, American policymakers have been watching closely to see whether changes in personnel might augur any change in Chinese policy toward the United States. As the year of the dragon draws to a close and Barack Obama busies himself trying to replace many of his most senior officials for his second term, it is China's turn to wonder what his new team means for what is (arguably?) the world's most important bilateral relationship.
Mr Obama's cabinet reshuffle affects three top positions—the secretary of state, secretary of defence, and secretary of the treasury—whose holders must devote a great deal of their time and attention to China.
Compared with their American counterparts, analysts in China have much more to work with as they try to sort the new scene. In contrast to the figures atop China's black box of a political system, the incoming American officials have left career-long paper trails from their many public speeches, press interviews, congressional testimony and legislative votes.
Zhu Chenghu, a general in the People's Liberation Army, told state-run media that the incoming secretary of state, John Kerry, a former senator and presidential candidate, "will be more moderate" on the issue of China's dispute with Japan over a set of tiny, uninhabited islands in the East China sea. The islands are called the Senkakus by Japan, and the Diaoyus by China. On February 4th, when Mr Kerry replaced Hillary Clinton as America's top-ranked diplomat, General Zhu was prompted to remark that the change "represents an opportunity to redirect Washington's course".
Wang Dong, the director of the Centre for North-East Asian Strategic Studies at the Beijing University School of International Studies, agrees. "We know Kerry well. He has a reputation for being moderate and thoughtful, not overly forceful or muscular with his language," Mr Wang says, adding that this marks a contrast with the impression of Mrs Clinton that tends to be held in China. "If Kerry can put more emphasis on co-operation, it will make a big difference."
But Mrs Clinton's lack of popularity in China may have as much to do with the content of the message she has borne as with her style in delivering it. Given her position, she needed to take a leading role when the Obama administration launched the policy that became known as America's "pivot" towards Asia, in 2011. In Beijing this was seen as being an aggressive gesture aimed at containing China's rise. The policy has since been rebranded as a "rebalancing" of America's strategic focus.
Mrs Clinton also had to deliver the message that America, while declining to take a position on the "ultimate sovereignty" of the disputed islands, does believe that they are territory "under the administration of Japan". And that they are therefore covered by a 1960 security treaty with Japan that would require America to "act to meet the common danger" in the event of an armed attack.
That message has since been repeated by another representative of the state department, other top officials, former senior officers, as well as in a bill passed by both houses of Congress—which was especially annoying to senior Chinese military officials.
According to Mr Wang, it is in America's interest to contain tension between China and Japan. Mr Obama's new team confront a difficult balancing act. "But it is very difficult for many Chinese analysts and people to believe America is not taking Japan's side, and the U.S. should be nervous when they see this Chinese perception," he said.
Another new member of that team is likely to be a former senator, Chuck Hagel, who has been nominated by Mr Obama to replace the outgoing defence secretary, Leon Panetta, but still awaits final approval by the Senate. Republicans in opposition may manage to delay Mr Hagel's confirmation, but they are not likely to succeed in blocking his appointment.
Mr Hagel has already won praise from several Chinese analysts for his "cautious" attitude towards the use of military force and also for his "practical and moderate style". In a recent interview, Mr Hagel said America should welcome China's emergence as a world power, despite its "communist, authoritarian, opaque government".
"They are a great power today, and they going to continue to be a great power—and that's okay. But we shouldn't cower in the wake of that, or we shouldn't be concerned that they're going to take our place in the world," he said.
Jack Lew has been nominated by Mr Obama to replace the outgoing treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, and he too awaits confirmation by the senate. Once in office, he will find himself at the centre of one of the most contentious issues dividing China and America: the value of China's currency, and the question of whether China is contriving to keep it artificially low in order to boost export volumes.
Mr Lew has attracted less attention than Mr Obama's other new cabinet nominees, and is not well known to Chinese analysts. They will nonetheless be far happier to see him take the job than anyone who might have been appointed by a President Mitt Romney.
Mr Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, once accused Mr Obama of allowing China to treat him "like a doormat" and Mr Romney himself routinely promised to declare China a currency manipulator on his first day in office. The real decisions, so far as China is concerned about America's foreign and economic policy, happened in November 2012.

Q: How are $R$-modules with negativity condition $R_iM_j\subset M_{j-i}$ related to graded $R$-modules? Let's say we have a graded ring $R=\bigoplus_{i=0}^n R_i$ ($R_m=0$ for $m > n$), in particular we have $R_i R_j \subset R_{i+j}$.
We now have a $R$-module $M$ which is also graded $M=\bigoplus_{i=0}^m M_i$, but instead of the common condition $R_iM_j \subset M_{j+i}$ we have a somehow "inverted" condition $R_iM_j \subset M_{j-i}$ for $i \geq j$ (or for all $i,j$ by setting $M_k=0$ for $k<0$).
I tried to somehow rearrange or invert $R$ to get the original definition, but it didn't work out: We could inverse the grading of $R$ to get $R'=\bigoplus_{i=-n}^0R_{-i}$ which would give a real graded $R'$-module $M$ with $R'_iM_j=R_{-i}M_j\subset M_{j+i}$. However, $R'$ is no more a graded ring because only non-negative indices are allowed for the grading. How can this dilemma be solved?
Is $M$ with this negativity condition still a graded $R$-module? If yes, how can we prove that and if no, are there any counter examples or is there a special name for this type of "modules"? I would appreciate any help!

"It's an ultimate-grade spiritual weapon!" Chet soon felt the difference of that black sword in Jack's hands. Initially pompous and confident in himself, he grew wary as realization dawned on him, his doubt reflected in his expression.
"What?! It's an ultimate-grade spiritual weapon?"
"No wonder this guy is so confident; it's because he owns such an invaluable item!"
"I wonder if the second young master can still defeat that guy this time!" Several members of the Hunt family were slightly worried after they confirmed that the sword in Jack's hands was indeed an ultimate-grade spiritual weapon.
"Don't worry. Our second young master had trained his martial skill, Hundred Leaves Chop, to its best. His combat power isn't something a normal person can compete with. As for Jack, even though he has the support of an ultimate grade spiritual weapon, he's only in an intermediate of the true-god level. There's still a lot of hope for us!" a man from the Hunt family said confidently after he thought about it.
With that, many of them grew somewhat more confident about the situation after they heard this analysis.
"Hundred Leaves Chop!" At this moment, Chet swung his sword toward Jack.
One by one, attacks in the form of leaves appeared in front of him. There were more than 100 leaf blades as they covered a huge space.
Jack eyed the attack and discovered that these leaves were much faster compared to those Chet used to attack Helena before. These leaves were also sharper than before.
This guy was an indisputable master as his fighting prowess had once again risen within these couple of days upon entering the forest.
Jack had no doubt that Chet would be able to break through and achieve the peak stage of the true-god level if he focused on training.
"Blade Wave!" As he noted the leaves aiming toward him, Jack swung his sword and used his second-grade premium martial skill, Blade Wave.
Waves of sword aura appeared in front of Jack as though they were like flying swords. The flying swords coagulated into waves and went surging toward Chet, endless as they attacked him.
"This guy has a second-grade premium martial skill too?" Second Young Master Hunt was extremely frightened when he saw Jack's attack. He remembered how Jack also used a martial skill when he rescued Helena, but that martial skill was not as domineering as this one.
Nonetheless, the previous martial skill was just as daunting.
Two horrifying attacks collided against one another at that moment, and bursts of explosions could be heard.
Members from both the Cabello family and the Hunt family watched on, utterly nervous. Everybody knew that such a fight between experts would decide the outcome this time.
No matter which side won, the other party would only be left with death.
Within seconds, the members of the Hunt family started exclaiming as they realized that there was something wrong about the situation, "This is bad. Second Young Master Hunt's Hundred Leaves Chop couldn't break through Jack's attack. The leaves were crushed upon impact!"
"Run!" One of them turned around and started flying toward the forest, not bothering to think twice about the situation.
"Go after them!" Daniella immediately ordered members of the Cabello family when she saw how the people from the other side had prepared to escape.

GRF Viper: "With what we had learned through this victory today, we'll do our best to become a better team in the future LCK split and international tournaments"
Written by Ki-Baek "Juneau" Nam, Yeonjae "Arra" Shin, Woo "Ready" Hyun
On the 31st, at Sejong University, the Finals of the 2018 LoL KeSPA Cup took place. On the Finals stage, Griffin took a flawless victory of 3-0 against Gen.G Esports. Griffin had displayed a dominating performance this tournament by not having dropped a single set during the quarterfinals and beyond.
The following is an interview with the new KeSPA Cup champions.
Please tell us how you feel about your victory.
Sword: I wanted to show the fans that we had improved. It feels great that we won. There are a lot of future important matches that need to be played, and we'll do our best to show great performance during those.
Tarzan: It's very meaningful that we finished the last day of 2018 with a victory. It's just as meaningful that we won without dropping a single match.
Chovy: We had a flawless victory, and I won the MVP title. I will remember this day for a long time.
Viper: It feels great that we won. In order to experience this feeling again, I'll work harder.
Lehends: It's my first time winning a tournament, so it feels surreal. I'm happy that we won so cleanly.
Cabbie: I feel great that I was able to win with such cool guys. I'll work hard moving forward and do my best to see play on stage.
cvMax: The training the players went through were definitely a tough one. The players did well during it. We'll do our best to show great performance in the coming tournaments.
Coach Byun: We worked extremely hard after placing 2nd in the LCK Summer Split. I'm happy that our hard work paid off on stage.
In game 1 and 2, you guys were on red side. However, you left Cassiopeia open, despite her current banrate. Did you predict that Gen.G Esports won't be picking her?
cvMax: In every game before the Finals, GEN banned Cassiopeia. Even if they had practiced Cassiopeia after their semifinals victory, it wouldn't have been enough time to fully master her. Our players were confident in playing against a Cassiopeia, and our ADC player, Viper, is great on her, so it would've favored us more if she was left open.
You made sacrifices and plays for the team. Were you a bit disappointed in the fact that you couldn't play to your own will?
Sword: I wasn't satisfied with my performance in games 1 and 2. If I was going to play for the team and endure a tough laning phase, I shouldn't have been killed by the enemy ganks. If we had to play around top lane, it would've put me in a better position. However, the compositions that we played didn't need to, so it's fine.
In game 1, Thresh's hooks were the winning factor. Was he a pick that you had prepared beforehand?
Lehends: Thresh wasn't actually a pick that we had planned beforehand. It was unfortuante that I couldn't play the champion that we had actually prepared. Thresh, Alistar, and Braum are all champions that are stable during the laning phase and teamfights, and is the reason why we picked them.
In game 3, when Cassoipeia was banned, you guys picked Jayce and Braum.
Viper: Braum is a very strong pick against Ezreal and Tahm Kench. In addition, Jayce is also strong against Ezreal, so we picked those champions.
Lehends: During picks and bans, we were certain that the enemy team was going to pick up Ezreal and Tahm Kench. We retaliated with Jayce and Braum.
During the quarterfinals and semifinals, you were an immense carry. It's unfortunate that you weren't able to net the MVP title during the Finals.
Tarzan: I had shown everything that I had during the quarterfinals and semifinals. I had nothing else to really show. I came to get carried, so it's fine.
Chovy, how does it feel having won the tournament MVP?
Chovy: I'm satisfied with myself that I had shown MVP performance today.
Is there something that needs improvement within the team moving forward?
cvMax: I'm satisfied with the performance that our team had put out during the KeSPA Cup. I find the 'process' of receiving a certain result more important than the result itself. The KeSPA Cup was the tournament that got us closest to what we're working towards becoming. In order to keep this up, we'll need to work hard and exert this kind of performance purely on our own skills and not relying on luck. I'll also train my players so that they can learn to adapt to new patches.
The FA market was very active this year. How competitive do you believe the next LCK season will be?
cvMax: A lot of changes were made this year, so I expected the teams to consume a lot of time adapting to them. However, I felt that the teams were already working well together. There are some teams that have gotten a lot stronger, such as SKT T1, Afreeca Freecs, Gen.G Esports, and DAMWON Gaming. I won't know what the other unmentioned teams are capable of either, so I'll need to prepare well for them.
Any last words in regard to the 2019 season?
Viper: I'm very happy that I'll be the one to answer this final question. (Laughs) With what we had learned through this victory today, we'll do our best to become a better team in the future LCK split and international tournaments.

28 UCW NOVEMBER 21-27, 2018 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM HIGH SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS EARL VAUGHAN JR., Sports Editor. COMMENTS? EarlUCWSports@ gmail.com. 910-364-6638. When the coaches from the Patriot Athletic Conference and the media who cover the league were asked to predict the order of fin- ish in football for 2018, the three schools that drew most of the atten- tion were defending champion Terry Sanford, former champion Cape Fear and a strong South View team. Pine Forest was ranked fifth by the media and sixth by the coaches. Did that bother veteran Trojan head coach Bill Sochovka? No. "I liked the fact we were under the radar,'' Sochovka said. "I had my whole defense coming back. A lot of these kids on defense had started since the ninth grade.'' At the end of the regular season, Pine Forest held seven opponents under 20 points and only allowed three to score more than 28 or more en route to a 9-2 record and the school's first outright conference title in football since 1999. The Trojans earned a first-round bye and the No. 3 seed in the 4-A East bracket of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association playoffs. They face Apex Middle Creek in the second round on Friday, Nov. 23, at Pine Forest. Middle Creek, 8-4 and the No. 6 seed, beat Knightdale 23-17 in the first round. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. Where his team was picked to finish the season turned out to be the least of Sochovka's concerns after the challenging year Pine Forest and all the teams in Cumberland County faced. The county had to endure not one but two hur- ricanes during the season that disrupted schedules and twice forced Pine Forest to play two games in a single week. One of those times was the final week of the season when Pine Forest took on Overhills on a Monday and wrapped up the week in what turned out to be the conference title game with a high- scoring South View team. "We knew they were probably going to score some points,'' said Trojan linebacker Bernard Flerlage. "The only concern we had was everybody staying together as a team, playing hard and making sure we didn't fall apart.'' The Trojan defensive backs, especially Jordan Gladney, Le'Vonte McLean, Richard McEachern and Jaden Jones, combined to hold South View Shrine Bowl selection Emery Simmons to one touchdown reception in Pine Forest's 14-7 win. "We trusted our defensive backs,'' Flerlage said. Fullback and defensive lineman Malik Daniels felt the win sent a message for this year and years to come for the Pine Forest program. "We changed the culture,'' he said. "Nobody thought of us going to the conference champion- ship. Nobody gave us our respect. Nobody pictured us being there. "We set the tone for the younger guys coming up, and we set the tone for the postseason. It was an important win for us.'' The state playoffs are pretty much uncharted territory for most of the players on this Pine Forest team. In recent years when Pine Forest has made it to the postseason, the journey hasn't lasted long. They've normally been eliminated in their first game, rarely making it to the second round. To find a Pine Forest team making it all the way to a third-round game, you have to go back to 2003 when the Trojans beat Raleigh Millbrook and Raleigh Broughton in the first two games before falling to Southeast Raleigh in the third round. This year, thanks to the bye, they're guar- anteed at least a trip to the second round, and since the NCHSAA moved the playoffs back a week because of the two hurricanes, they'll get the rare privi- lege of practicing on Thanksgiving, which is traditionally the sign that a high school football team has enjoyed a good season. Sochovka appreciates all these achievements and precedents, but his main concern is keeping the team focused on the task at hand, and he actually thinks the messy schedule during the regular sea- son will make that an easier job. During the season, Pine Forest wound up playing a game on every night of the week but Wednesday and Sunday. Despite all those disrup- tions, the players stayed focused enough to win the conference title. Sochovka thinks the team will have no trouble adjusting to the three-day practice schedule of last week's bye week before getting back into a regular grind preparing for the second-round game this week. Neither does Flerlage. "We're going to use this to our advantage,'' he said. "We'll review stuff and fix what we need to fix, make sure we are ready to prep ourselves for whoever we have coming this week.'' Daniels said Sochovka will have the Trojans ready for Friday night, bye or no bye. "I believe the whole coaching staff will keep us sharp,'' he said. "We want to go far in these playoffs. We want to make it to states. That's our main goal.'' Defense helps Pine Forest earn respect, football title by EARL VAUGHAN JR.

Q: I am using php with codeigniter framework and i am using filter in my function where user can input 1 filter or user can input 4 inputs(max. 5) In my table there are 5 rows and i want to get data from the table on the basis of inputs .the rows are name,age,height,weight and class.
If user inputs age= 12 and weight=40 then person with 12 age as well as 40 weight should be shown.
if user inputs only name=jack then persons with name jack should be shown.
if user inputs all five entries then all entries should be matching.
user can input one field or all five fields.

A: I suggest to use the inputs to build an associative array which contains the filters you want to apply.
$filters = array();

if (!empty($this->input->post('name')))
    $filters['name'] = $this->input->post('name');

if (!empty($this->input->post('age')))
    $filters['age'] = $this->input->post('age');

if (!empty($this->input->post('height')))
    $filters['height'] = $this->input->post('height');

if (!empty($this->input->post('weight')))
    $filters['weight'] = $this->input->post('weight');

if (!empty($this->input->post('class')))
    $filters['class'] = $this->input->post('class');

Then, when you are building your query, you just need to iterate over the array:
foreach ($filters as $key => $value) {
    $this->db->where($key, $value);
}

Note the use of empty() instead of isset or any manual comparison. Docs reference.

The team gained intimate knowledge of the waste generation process through several site walk-throughs and by acquiring and reading all related documentation. In this time the team discovered that this company was generating over 3 million pounds of aggregate yearly.
Based on the answers, team members contacted Triumvirate's in-house experts to determine if there's a market for the waste product, what the recycling options are, and whether there's an opportunity to create a new recycling process that would render the chemicals salable.
After determining that the top solutions were not only compliant, but also the most beneficial to the company, the team presented the solutions to the company selection.
Triumvirate Environmental was able to find a solution that matched the clients needs and assure its compliance with all regulatory bodies. Throughout the process Triumvirate was able to keep the identity of the company anonymous and bridge the gaps between departments at the client's site. Triumvirate was able to evaluate the material's properties and found two customers in two industries not traditional to the client. The customers now buy the material to feed stock in their own products. Triumvirate was able to reduce the total waste output at this facility from nine truckloads a month to two.

1/25/14 Andrews Elementary School's 100-MILE CLUB
Scott Muthersbaugh / Times-News
The cold weather didn't stop students at Andrews Elementary School in Burlington from racing toward their 100-mile goal during recess Friday afternoon.
Andrews Elementary School's 100-MILE CLUB
Students hit milestones, win prizes through Active Schools grant
By Isaac Groves The Times-News 1/25/14
More than 100 fifth-graders — the whole fifth grade at R. Homer Andrews Elementary School — were walking laps just before school let out Friday. Some were running with hoods up and scarves flapping.
"I like it," said Tamyuia White, 10. "You get to walk laps with your friends and talk while you're walking. "And you get exercise out of it."
At the end of every lap of the dirt track, they crowded around several black plastic baskets to grab a popsicle stick. Fourteen sticks make a mile; 100 miles, or 1,400 sticks, is the goal.
The 100-mile club got started in October, said Todd Traumuller, Andrew's physical education teacher.
Weather has slowed the students' progress, but the third-, fourth- and fifth-graders try to walk at least two recesses a week, and more for the students who really want to hit the mark.
The club started with Liz Bailey, who teaches in the Health and Human Performance Department at Elon University.
Bailey helped the school get a $1,000 grant from the Active Schools Acceleration Project of Tufts University's Child Obesity 180, which works with first lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move Active Schools.
The money, Traumuller said, is to buy prizes for hitting milestones. With some students getting close to 25 miles, he is looking at buying some bracelets with the school's roadrunner mascot.
That may be why one boy runs and jumps around the track shouting, "I found a stick, I found a stick!"
Recess outside is nothing new, of course, but a lot of students would hang out and talk to their friends if left to their own devices, Traumuller said. So teachers ask them to walk a couple times a week, and the goal spurs them on.
The idea is to give them more than a little exercise, but also an understanding of how important it is to health.
As the time came for dismissal, students crowded around their teachers to get their sticks tallied.
Fifth-grade teacher Jen Owen said her students did pretty well.
"A lot of times when we're out, they will go for the full mile," Owens said. "Some of mine got a mile and a half."

No Comments on Boris Johnson is determined that there will be no more independence referendums and devolution will be be rendered impotent bypassed by UK government agencies operating within Scotland but not responsible to the Scottish government. And The UK Stabilisation Unit is closely monitoring Scottish politics, events and personalities and has resources available to deal with any disruption or attempts at destabilisation of the UK.
The UK National Security Council
Established on 12 May 2010 the (NSC) of the United Kingdom is a Cabinet Committee tasked with overseeing all issues related to national security, intelligence coordination, and defence strategy. At a stroke it increased the power of the Prime Minister, who chairs the Council, and brought senior Cabinet ministers into national security policymaking, giving them access to the highest levels of intelligence.
From 1 April 2015, the council oversees a newly created Conflict, Stability and Security Fund, (CSSF) financed with more than £1 billion annually.
UK National Intelligence
Headquartered in Whitehall, City of Westminster, London the intelligence agencies are at the heart of the national intelligence machinery. The national intelligence machinery has the three Intelligence and Security Agencies, SIS, GCHQ and MI5/6 at its heart, with work also carried out by the Defence Intelligence and the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre.
The Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC)
The (JIC), operates within the Cabinet Office and is responsible for assessments and intelligence briefings that look at both tactical and strategic issues of importance to national interests, primarily in the fields of security, defence and foreign affairs.
The JIC's permanent members are senior officials from the Cabinet Office, including the JIC Chairman, the Chief of the Assessments Staff and the National Security Advisor, as well as officials from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, the Ministry of Defence, the Home Office, the Department for International Development, HM Treasury and the agency heads.
The JIC also feeds their assessments into the NSC which is the main forum for the collective discussion of the government's objectives for national security, in which a range of relevant departments participates. It is charged with examining more specific national security areas and overseeing and coordinating all aspects of Britain's security.
The Prime Minister is advised by the head of the NSC secretariat, the National Security Adviser, who is responsible for coordinating and delivering the government's international security agenda.
The UK Stabilisation Unit
Formed by the Labour government in 2003 it is a civilian force providing greatly increased capacity for planning and rapid reaction including the deployment of military reservists in a civilian capacity and police deployments. The unit's remit was expanded in 2015, to include crisis response and conflict prevention and control was transferred to the UK National Security Council. The unit, located in Whitehall is funded (£1 billion annually) by the Conflict, Stabilisation and Security Fund. It is now a much enlarged and powerful cross-government team tasked with ensuring all departments of government have unfettered access to specialist support and resources when dealing with some of the trickiest policy challenges.
Andrew Dunlop – Scottish born thorn in the side of Scottish nationalists
The quiet assassin. He has been closely associated with the Conservative Party for most of his adult life. First as a special adviser SPAD to the Defence Secretary (1986 – 88) then as a member of Margaret Thatcher's Policy Unit (1988 – 1990).
The demise of Thatcher brought his early career to a halt and he moved away from active politics to found and develop his own strategic communications consultancy business. Over 20 years later he sold the business, for a very tidy sum of money, to the Brussels-based Interel Group (lobbyists). The return to power of the Tory Party in 2010 sparked his interest in politics once again and he linked up with his friend and former colleague David Cameron, in his former role of SPAD, (2012 to 2015), with specific responsibility as the principal adviser on Scotland and devolution to the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer.
He was elevated to the House of Lords in 2015 allowing Cameron to take him into government where he served as a minister in the UK Government as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Scotland and Northern Ireland between 2015 and 2017.
In the Lords, he is a member of the UK Constitution Committee and an Expert Member of the UK Civilian Stabilisation Group. Retaining contact with Scottish affairs he is currently a Board member of the Scottish Council for Development and Industry.
A supporter of Boris Johnson he is reputed to be formulating and implementing Tory government policies for Scotland. In this respect, he revealed his thinking in a speech he made in the course of a debate on the "possible effects of Brexit on the stability of the Union of the parts of the United Kingdom". He said:
"Attention should be paid to the machinery of intergovernmental relations, which needs to be strengthened. We also need to look at the cross-UK synergies, weakened since devolution, which need to be reinvigorated. We need to pursue a decentralised, pan-UK strategy for rebalancing the economy, driven by city regions across the country. This means moving away from seeing everything through a four-nation prism. Many of the problems confronting Glasgow, for example, are similar to those of Manchester or Birmingham. They provide embryonic structures which can be built upon. There are two years until the next Holyrood elections. Strengthening our union must be an urgent priority whatever our post-Brexit future."

1956 The works is now known as VEB Motorradwerk Zschopau, or MZ for brief.
MZ manufactured a line of a hundred twenty five cc four-stroke bikes utilizing an engine that was designed in-house. The MZ 125 produces 15 bhp and practically 10 lbft (14 Nm) of torque. It is a liquid-cooled, dual-overhead-cam design with four valves, high-voltage digital ignition and an 11,000 rpm ignition cut-off. This engine was used in four fashions, all of which share a standard body. The body is a tube-steel spine with the engine as a confused backside member. Differences in the suspension, fascia, gearing, and tools make the 4 models comparatively distinct, despite the shared platform. ufabet
The 1000S' distinctive engine is exceptionally compact for its displacement. The range features a bare model and a full tourer with luggage, higher handlebars, and decrease footpegs for comfort. Both of these are retuned, with less outright horsepower than the 'S', however with more torque. Described by Pocket Gamer as "successfully a reskin of the developer's previously profitable 4X technique video games", the brand new title offered a military-themed interface depicting armies from World War I to the modern period. The recreation, which was reportedly "stealthily launched" sometime earlier than the top of August 2018, was identified as a product of Mobile War LLC quite than MZ.
After preliminary issues Peter Rubatto, identified in Germany as Mr. Superbike, took over the race team administration from Ralf Waldmann. MZ scored World Championship points and managed to be in the front row of the USA Indianapolis GP in 2010. In 2011 the MZ Racing Team was extended to 2 riders, Anthony West and Max Neukirchner. In the final race of the season 2011, Anthony West had a bad starting place but ran via the field. The season 2012 was unsuccessful underneath the influence of the monetary problems. At the top of August 2012 the team had to withdraw from racing.
The defection to the West of Grand Prix rider Ernst Degner, full with his theft of a set of secrets and techniques, began the top of the glory years of Kaadens bikes. 1983 The two millionth bike rolls off the conveyor belt, this time an MZ ETZ 250. With disc brakes and 12-volt electrics the MZ had reached the fashionable standard in motorcycle design. In March 2020, MZ revealed 'CrystalBorne', and in May was acquired by publishing-platform companyAppLovin for about $500 million, which represented a large decline in worth and a loss for many buyers.
The Mantizz collection has two displacement choices – one hundred twenty five cc and a hundred and ten cc. All MZ underbone fashions are powered by four-stroke engines and are manufactured in MZ's Malaysian plant in Shah Alam. Amateur racing collection for un-, as a lot as mildly tuned Skorpions celebrated its twenty fifth jubilee in 2021.
Which happened 19 years after the tip of the base mannequin's production and 13 years after the factory's ultimate closure. Presently this makes the MZ-Cup the oldest and most lasting one-brand and one-make cup for bikes worldwide. From 2022 on the MZ-Cup also opened up for off rating guest participations of different chosen single-cylinder bikes. S paying players each spent a median of $550 in 2015 on its in-app purchases, in comparability with $87 spent by the average participant of cell free-to-play video games. In March 2017, the corporate defeated a class action lawsuit on the basis that players who had sought damages for misplaced "virtual gold" at a virtual casino in Game of War "didn't lose real cash", in accordance with the court docket.
In October 2018, TechCrunch named the company the sixth most successful company from Y Combinator. By the tip of that year, after hiring Dan Nash as its chief financial officer, MZ had raised around $720 million in ufabet a brand new spherical of funding, with investors including JP Morgan, Anthos Capital, and Menlo Ventures. The firm, which was initially known as Addmired, was based in 2008. In 2012, Addmired changed its name to Machine Zone, after elevating $8 million in funding from Menlo Ventures. Gabriel Leydon founded the company with companions Mike Sherrill and current Chief Technology Officer Halbert Nakagawa.
To some riders, the MZ name is synonymous with their low-cost, utilitarian street going 2-strokes from the 1970's, together with the MZ ES and ET fashions, however MZ had many racing successes in each on and off road competition. Still very popular with 2-stroke lovers, the earlier street going machines had been sturdy and fairly reliable, but by the early 1980's have been in need of a major replace. In June 2018, MZ's board of directors replaced founder and CEO Gabe Leydon so as to refocus the corporate on gaming.
The firm was renamed MuZ in 1992 and introduced a model new range of motorcycles that includes much updated specs together with for the first time in MZ historical past, a 4-stroke powered machine, the 500R. Other notable machines badged MuZ include the Skorpion, which featured a 660cc Yamaha engine and enjoys an enthusiastic following due to its spirited performance and precise handling. The final new MZ mannequin was the 1000S which featured a novel 1000 cc, DOHC parallel twin designed and built by MZ.
While Dumont confirmed MZ's ownership of the sport during a tech conference in November 2018, World War Rising did not appear on MZ's website until a minimum of May 2019. In addition to the 1000S, MZ also produced the bare model of the 1000S, known as the MZ1000SF, and the sports touring version known as the MZ1000ST. MZ also produces its personal strains of scooters known as the MZ Moskito, powered by a 50 cc two-stroke engine. Back in the early 1980s in the UK, MZ have been regarded by the motorcycle press as producing ugly and old style motorcycles. The then importer, Wilf Green, decided to attempt to update the picture of the bikes by producing his personal modified variations of the TS125, christened the "Pathfinder" and the "Sport". In 2010 MZ beneath Wimmer began to compete within the new Moto 2 Grand Prix class with the rider Anthony West . [url=https://okufa.me/][/url]
The 125-SX features the same look as the SM however has a suspension tuned extra for off-road use, enduro-style tires, and barely lower gear ratios. The 125-SM is a Supermotard style bike with taller avenue tuned suspension, tallish gearing, and reduced weight. This was the primary bike with an asymmetric low beam headlight pattern.

Q: Ask user their last and first name and have an email accout as output #include <stdio.h>

int main(){

    char last[20];
    char first[20];

    printf("Please enter your last name:");
    scanf("%s",last);
    printf("\nPlease enter your first name:");
    scanf("%s",first);
    printf("Here your email address\n",last,first,@student.com); //last first@student.com

}

I want user to write their names and I will output their e-mail automatically.

A: Change:
printf("Here your email address\n",last,first,@student.com);

To:
printf("Here your email address: %s%s@student.com\n",last,first);

A: The problem is in your last line of code before the end of the program:
printf("Here your email address\n",last,first,@student.com); //last first@student.com

It looks like you're trying to use printf like you're in Python or some other language where you can add strings together and then display them. That's not the way printf works. If you look at the documentation for printf, in the first parameter you are essentially defining a template for the resulting string. "Hey, I want to print some text, and then here I want to display the results of a string variable, and here I want to display an integer," etc. Then, the rest of the parameters are the variables you want displayed in the string, in the order that you listed them in the first parameter:
// NOT WORKING CODE!
printf(template string, var1, var2, ..., varX);

When you create the template string, you tell C that you want a variable in a certain place with something called a format specifier. There are a whole bunch of them, and they tell C what kind of variable you're going to have. See the link above for a table showing available format specifiers. In your case, as you're wanting to display a string, the format specifier is %s. (Note that the format specifiers are the same as for scanf) The last line would then be the following, assuming you want the newline after the email address:
printf("Here your email address %s%s@student.com\n",last,first); //last first@student.co

The Future of Lower-league Football ?
Most non-league clubs are struggling - with modest gates, rising costs and a high average age & ageing fanbase and having to compete with on-tap TV football.
Most teams at the top of the Premier Leagues, whether in England, Spain or France etc. didn't become rich by being successful and thus attracting big crowds - they mostly reached the top through being rich with Arab money, Russian money, American money, Anyone's money, to buy the best players and then built winning teams.
The same is happening in a small way right down through the lower leagues.
In the end, I wonder if we'll see a semi-amateur set up developing for those clubs without external financial backing (sugar daddies etc) - and those which do have money, however sourced, gradually moving into the paid game in higher leagues.
It's already happening through the promotion system anyway. Then many clubs struggle when they reach just one division higher.
Unfortunately the fans don't like to see their club relegated through living within their means so clubs will continue to go bust and have to accept multi-division relegation. Farnborough, Hereford & Salisbury being the latest, following Hinckley, Rushden & Diamonds, Darlington etc. etc.
I personally like the idea of summer football for non-league clubs which has been suggested elsewhere,, perhaps running from March to the end of November.but I have no confidence that the management committees of lower leagues would have the imagination or energy to bring about such a change.
Even if they backed it, the FA would take decades to sanction a change - most of us will be long gone !!!!
Has anybody got any answers, beyond hoping for handouts from premier league TV money ?
Re: The Future of Lower-league Football ?
Summer football has been mooted on a number of occasions. When rugby league, a sport I cover professionally, changed to summer in 1996, I thought it was a brave decision and was sceptical about its success. Despite sitting in snow on more than one occasion at the start of the season, and seen the odd match postponed because of frost, on the whole, I think the sport has survived thanks to the change.
However, football cannot change at lower levels and remain as it is higher up the pyramid. Either we go the whole hog or we don't because it will not work from an administrative standpoint. For a start the FA Cup begins in August, National League North and South join in late September, National Premier in October and Leagues One and Two in November, before the greedy scumbags (sorry, Championship, Premier League) enter in January. This would made the FA Cup a late-season tournament for some teams, early-season for others and mid-season for the remainder (which would make finding match officials for the early games even harder). Also it would be impossible to run the FA Trophy if the Ryman and Evo-Stik Leagues (Isthmian, Southern and Northern Premier – all nine divisions) were to be summer and the National Leagues - all three divisions - were still winter competitions.
The other big issue and – it effectively is the same argument against midseason breaks – is when would the seasons start and finish. At present, preseason starts at the very beginning of July, friendlies in mid- to late-July and the regular season in early- to mid-August. If the season started in six months later, preseason would be at the start of the new year, friendlies in mid- to late-January and the season kick-off would be early- to mid-February. The season would end in late October with playoffs in November.
Given that, in the past six years, we have had matches snowed off in October, November, December, January, February and March, when is the bad weather likely to hit? Also where would players train in preseason, if it is January. There would be no daylight for sessions and most grass surfaces would be far from ideal to run on, let alone try to kick footballs on. Also, it would not be possible to set up glamorous friendlies if the season for the Premier League, Championship, Leagues 1 and 2 and the three National Leagues were in full swing.
Another issue would be pitch maintenance. Pitches get relaid and new drainage work done in the summer when the grass is growing. This could not be done in the offseason in winter, because there is no grass growth and the soil is not going to recover either.
Summer football for me is a no, for those of us who follow the professional game as well it would just be overkill.
Simple things like reducing division sizes would help, the advent of 3G pitches is a big step forward as well.

King George V changes his name from 'Saxe-Coburg' to 'Windsor.' Amid wartime anti-German public sentiment the British Royal Family decided to relinquish their German name and titles. The name 'Windsor' was chosen as variation on ''Wettin', the late Prince Albert's personal surname.
The National Photographic Record is established at the instigation of the photographer Walter Stoneman to commission photographs of 'distinguished living contemporaries of British nationality.' This project allowed the National Portrait Gallery to circumvent its own rule that portraits could not enter the collection until the sitter had been dead ten years.
The Russian Revolution begins with the February Revolution and the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II. Seven months later the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin seize power in the October Revolution forming the Soviet Communist Government, which lasted until 1991. The USA abandons its neutrality and joins the war against Germany following a series of attacks on American passenger and merchant ships.

with the above imported as
dataset = Import["Pontinus_moseri_locality_data.csv","Dataset",HeaderLines-> 1]

and as converted by
assoc = Normal[dataset];

and

Take[assoc, {9, 15, 2}]

to get the subsample given above.
Interestingly, if instead I import from an *.XLSX file using the following command:
dataset = Import["Pontinus_moseri_locality_data.xlsx", "Dataset",
HeaderLines -> 1]

Normal does not return the association but rather the displayed dataset table, which looks identical to that using the .csv import given above, but instead has
a Head[dataset] as List. I am unsure why this happens as the tables seem identical with the same displayed scrollable MMA format give for Dataset objects.
In any event, from within this dataset object (via csv) I attempt to make the conversion using an overloaded function to handle the cases for value = Null or value = "", as follows:
latlongConvert[x_ /; x != Null] :=
 Module[{a}, a = ToString[N[FromDMS[ToString[x]], 5]]; Return [a]]

latlongConvert[x_ /; SameQ[x, ""]] := Module[{a}, a = ""; Return [a]]

latlongConvert[x_ /; SameQ[x, Null]] := Module[{a}, a = Null; Return [a]]

moseriLocalityDataMod1 = dataset[All, {"LATITUDE" -> latlongConvert,
 "LONGITUDE" -> latlongConvert}]

Although the code executes with no errors, the conversions do not take place, with values within the Dataset object instead being replaced by the called object (ie latlongConvert["9°44'N"] etc.) but not evaluating to "9.7333"
Nonetheless, executing the expression
ToString[N[FromDMS[ToString[9°44'N]],5]]

returns "9.7333" as expected.
What do I have to change to get the conversion to execute correctly, with the correct decimal format being substituted for the original deg min sec format within the dataset?

A: Following MarcoB's suggestions to their logical conclusion the First Overloaded function works.  The problem arises from the different structure of the output from the two lines
dataset = Import["Pontinus_moseri_locality_data.csv","Dataset",HeaderLines-> 1]

which generates has a Head[dataset] = Dataset and
dataset = Import["Pontinus_moseri_locality_data.xlsx", "Dataset",
HeaderLines -> 1] (this does not work and Head[dataset] = List)

and making two additional changes to the original code:
1) overloading the function to account for Null and "" in the data as shown above, and
2) changing the original conditional on the function to /; StringLength[x]>1 rather than /; x!=Null.

Power Play: Party Politics Clashes with Constitutional Obligations in SCOTUS Fight
by James Spurgeon, published Feb 15, 2016
" [...] and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, [...]" Article 2, Section 2, Clause 2 of US Constitution
Word broke late Friday of the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. The death of the conservative justice during an election year is bound to have great ramifications.
Even before the Supreme Court had officially announced the passing of Justice Scalia, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) tweeted out that the next president should get to pick his replacement instead of President Obama.
https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/698634625246195712
When Republicans took control of the Senate last year, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) stated that there would be few if any votes on any of Obama's nominations still awaiting the Senate's confirmation, with the exception of a Supreme Court vacancy. (The Senate did confirm a few State Department officials within the past week though.)
Now, however, Senate Majority Leader McConnell is talking differently as he states that the American people should have a voice in the next justice with the upcoming election.
https://twitter.com/SenateMajLdr/status/698666807167549440
One has to wonder if Republicans would be singing the same tune if the president was a Republican instead of a Democrat. The court is narrowly split and a new justice appointed by President Obama could shift it in the opposite direction.
In 2005, Senator McConnell defended the absolute right of a sitting president to nominate judges, stating, "The Constitution of the United States is at stake. Article II, Section 2 clearly provides that the President, and the President alone, nominates judges. The Senate is empowered to give advice and consent."
Keep in mind that the next president will not be sworn in until January 2017, just under a year away. The longest confirmation hearing in modern history was Justice Clarence Thomas at 100 days. This would be triple the amount of time just to wait for a nomination, let alone the confirmation hearing and a vote.
President Obama is within his constitutional right to put forth a nominee, and the Senate has the duty then to hold confirmation hearings and to hold a vote. It doesn't matter if it's an election year or not.
In January 1801, in the wake of the 1800 election, President John Adams nominated John Marshall to be Chief Justice. Marshall was confirmed by the Senate within a few days much to the chagrin of the incoming Jeffersonian Republican majority.
In 1987, President Reagan nominated Anthony Kennedy to fill a vacancy in the Supreme Court. Kennedy was confirmed in February 1988 (an election year) by a 97-0 vote in which Democrats held the majority in the Senate.
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) called out the hypocrisy of her GOP colleagues in refusing to even consider a nominee by President Obama. She went on to state that they all took the same oath and shouldn't abandon their duties.
https://twitter.com/SenWarren/status/698880570843992064
President Obama has already stated that he will be making a nomination to fill Scalia's seat as is his right to do so and names are already circulating. It will be up to the Senate to prove that it can perform its constitutional duties -- or is the Senate majority willing to hold the third branch of government hostage to politics?
There is no doubt that Justice Scalia's death brings the issue of Supreme Court nominations into the 2016 election. And though we are reminded of this issue in the most tragic of ways, it deserves more than just a partisan soundbite. The president and the Senate have a constitutional responsibility at this point, and they need to step it up.

Re: For Reference - Scandinavian Style Hooped Vase = Japanese!
That's fantastic! There's a thread discussing vases that seem to be influenced by the Nanny Still designed Rihiimaen "Pompadour" vases, but aren't. Are these the same vases as are being discussed there? It would be great to solve that one!
My apologies Cathy, you are right, I didn't read the thread fully. I looked at px's post (reply #8) "The one referred to in this thread is prod.number 1945" and thought it apllied to the original item the thread was posted about. I should have carried on reading.

These figures are revealed in NHO expertise barometer, based on a survey of the organization's more than 20,000 member companies. 26 percent of companies responded to the survey, writes Adresseavisen.

I like the slogan of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games; it's positive. Today is the final day and IMHO the Chinese have been very successful as the host country. They've also been very successful as participants, garnering the most Gold medals. The U.S. has the most overall medals but which is more important??? FYI, Japan has the 8th most Gold medals which is not so bad considering it's the 10th most populated country in the world. Note: More than 200 countries took part in these XXlX Olympic Games.
The Summer Olympic Games are always a treat for me. Out of the 28 sports, 3 are my favorites: basketball, swimming and tennis. One sad thing for me though was that I could not watch one single game of basketball as Japanese TV didn't deem it worthwhile. I guess I can understand as Japan didn't field a team but I would have loved to see Kobe, Lebron and the rest of the "Redeem Team" in action. As I write, they are playing and I imagine on their way to the Gold medal that Team USA promised to deliver after sub-par performances in the 2004 Games and recent World Games.
My final thoughts are that although these games cost an astronomical amount of money to hold, they are worth it. They bring the people of the world together. This breaks down barriers and helps us understand each other. It also brings the people of a country closer together as they get behind their team to cheer and share the agony of defeat along with the elation of winning or placing. It also motivates us regular people to do our best and to keep playing the sports we love and maybe even start a new one.
regarding your blog on the Olympics was interesting plus your short visual. too bad you didn't get to see the American basketball team go for the gold it was quite interesting. I am surprised you did not mention anything about the decathlon champion Bryan Clay a Japanese-American, he did a heck of a job. well that's enough for now.

RIP Roger Owen
The former Wales Rugby League international Roger Owen has died aged 67 in his home town of Llanelli.
Wales heritage number 326, Owen won two caps, both in 1981, coming off the bench against France and England.
A former pupil of Llanelli Secondary Modern School, he played for Wales Youth RU, before signing for Llanelli RFC in 1973. There he played 24 times before going to local club New Dock Stars before going north to turn professional with St Helens in August 1980. He had previously turned down an offer from Hull FC.
A miner by trade, Owen was a large domineering prop and played in two Challenge Cup semi-finals during his two year spell at Knowsley Road, where he made 45 appearances in total. He was transfer listed by St Helens and Cardiff Blue Dragons were interested in buying him for the 1982-83 season but, at just 28 years old, decided to retire, taking up work with a tunnelling company in Wales.
Former Wales head coach Clive Griffiths played alongside him for both St Helens and Wales. He said: "Because we both came from Llanelli, we became good friends when he joined St Helens but we go further back than that as we played against each other in 1971 in Llanelli. I was with Wales Secondary Schools and we played against Wales Youth. We socialised off the field in St Helens and we were room-mates when Wales travelled to France. He was a likeable rogue and a hell of a character – more likeable than a rogue. He was one of the toughest players you could play alongside, and it was good to know him for a short period of time. It's a very sad news and he's gone too young."
Wales Rugby League chairman Brian Juliff said: "I knew Roger had been ill for a while and I was very sad to hear of his death. I played alongside him in France and he was great to tour with. I was injured on the day of his second cap so it was a shame not to have played alongside him again. We spoke in Swansea a few years ago and had a good catch-up. I'd like to send my condolences to his family, friends and all who knew him, he'll be sadly missed."

Located in the far North East, the park is a mosaic of grass and woodland bordered by the Chobe River. Here a fantastic concentration of wildlife can be found, most noticeably an elephant population numbering in the thousands. Safaris are taken by 4WD and boat.
Savuti is a remote region in the south west of Chobe National Park and known for its 'fickle' marsh which lies dry for years and then curiously fills up with water. This is a rich wildlife area with Africa's second largest zebra migration passing through and the famous 'Marsh Pride' of lions calling it home turf.
Situated in the North of the country the Okavango is the largest inland river delta in the world. A pristine watery wilderness of rivers, islands and lagoons formed as the Okavango River fans out across the desert. All the wildlife imaginable can be found here including the 'Big 5', hippos, crocodiles, prolific birdlife as well as endangered species such as the African wild dog. Safaris are typically taken by makoro (dugout canoe) with shore excursions on foot, whilst some lodges also offer 4 wheel drive options.
This vast area of semi arid grassland and salt pans, provides a great contrast to other parks. The wet season witnesses the wildebeest and zebra migration whilst dry season activities centre around guided walks with San Bushmen, quad biking across the salt flats and observing resident meerkats at close quarters. Look out too for the famous babobab trees.

Neige Nuit is an album released on May 5th, by French post rock project Sairen. Simple, beautiful and relatively concise – being only forty minutes long –, the record has eight tracks: Vortex Lyre, Nordvarme, Salvation, Fall of the Colossus, Shield of Light, Shield of Light, Tsuki no Namida and Neolithic. A melancholic, calm and exceedingly spiritual album, that literally takes the listener to a marvelous journey into another world, a world full of placid and benefic transience – a very distant, different one –, seemingly ruled by a proverbial symphony of serenity, graciosity and splendor, Neige Nuit is a modest, but consistent invitation to dive deeply into a permanent, friendly and emotionally ambivalent conscious existence, where everything can be deciphered and properly displaced at the request of a despondent and omniscient perspective, that looks constantly for the content of its own soul, through an harmonious fugacity that dwells deeply at the twilight of an everlasting ocean of afflictive human grace.
While the sound is more depressive and introspective – and the songs are generally not that long, which is unusual for a genre like post rock – the surreal calmness that vividly perspires throughout its musical tissue is overwhelmingly intuitive, and replete of a graceful splendor, that standardizes on the revenue of its sonorous anatomy the pervasive sincerity of its perennial and contained, but elusively ambitious artistry.
With intelligent, delicate, and harmoniously sensible guitar lines, that primarily serves as the foundation and embracing vitality of the music, Sairen exhibits a profoundly conscious, responsible and mature outlook on this album, that unravels the vigorous, but discreet potential of the artist, at the onset of his own musical diagram and creative abilities. I also honestly feel that the second track deserves to be highlighted: the poetic, lunar, reflexive and deeply sentimental "Nordvarme" certainly is a song of exhilarating and profound gracious splendor, that contracts on the expansive layer of its melancholic possibilities the rude vastness of an ardent vivacity, whose placid sentimentality eludes on the frontier of its fraternal rationalization a drastic terrain of peaceful melodies, that loses on the firm temperament of its vicinities the most permissive conflagrations for an existential and analytic scrutiny about the natural state of the expansive obliteration of its artistic serenity.
A beautiful album that reacts on the revenue of its sober simplicity, Neige Nuit is an intimate and perceptive sonorous monologue for the heart, whose precise, discreetly passionate and lugubrious enchantment exhilarates a calm therapy for the soul, eager to understand and to pass through the symbiosis of its own melodic intuitions.


Dave has always been a racer so in 2012 we bought a Newport 30 Mark 3 from a guy on the North Shore who never used it. As active members of the Hawaii Yacht Club (by this time Dave was already on the Board of Governors) we had always wanted a race boat. Capt Pete came over from the UK and the two of them worked their buns off trying to get it ready for the season.
Their work paid off when we won 2nd Place in our division. Makani Kai had a short life however when one of the other race boats forced us aground upon re-entering the harbor and bent our rudder post. A haulout in Hawaii runs around 10K so Dave decided to sell the boat rather than spend all of that money.
I think that this event, amongs others that seemed unfair, helped to make our decision to leave Hawaii for more utopian waters. After visiting friends, Steve and Pat, in Cape Coral, Fl. we decided that the Gulf of Mexico had water much more suited to our age group than the Pacific.
