Q: generic shared_ptr as member of a class I want to have a shared_ptr as a member of a class, but the type that the shared_ptr manages is different each time and is only known at run time. Is there any way to declare such a member and init it later?

A: Yes.
Use runtime polymorphism which means define a common base class, say Base and declare the common interfaces as virtual functions in it, then derive from it and implement the virtual functions in the derived classes. If you do so, then you can use like this:
std::share_ptr<Base> ptr;
//now ptr can store an instance of any derived class from Base

Or you could use boost::any if it is not possible to define a common base class. If you cannot use Boost, then you can define any class yourself. Search for Type Erasure on this site and in google.
The following is a two-pages article on Type Erasure, and you can find an implementation of boost::any on the second page (though not complete):

*

*What Type Erasure Can Do About It

A: If the types are unrelated, you can use something like Boost.Any for this. Otherwise, do what @Nawaz says.

Vedstritar (Achilidae) är en familj i insektsordningen halvvingar som tillhör underordningen stritar. Olikt de flesta andra stritar lever vedstritar inte på att suga växtsaft, utan på svampar.

I Sverige förekommer två arter av vedstritar, båda är sällsynta och tillhör släktet Cixidia. Det är ljus vedstrit (Cixidia lapponica) och mörk vedstrit (Cixidia confinis). Dessa arter mäter 4–6 millimeter i längd och har breda framvingar som överlappar varandra vid spetsen. De lever i död ved. Man kan exempelvis hitta dem på liggande trädstammar, så kallade lågor, av tall som angripits av tickor.

Ljus vedstrit kan i Finland kallas för lappbarkstrit och mörk vedstrit för barkstrit.

Många av arterna i den här familjen är brunaktiga med ljusare fläckar, men det finns också vissa arter som har mer påfallande färger och är gröna eller rosafärgade.

This week's Old School Friday is a song that people will be surprised you know. I'm random and don't think I really surprise people anymore. At first I thought Journey, "Don't Stop Believing" then realized that everyone knows that song and I just joined the party late in life.
While I don't know all the words to this one, it was a favorite of my elementary school years. Yes, random I know. But who doesn't love Adam Sandler?
Christina Aguilera before she became super famous. Definitely my favorite song straight through high school, much to the chagrin of my friends.
A good friend was obsessed with this song. There was no choice but for me to learn all the words before my Billy Joel phase sophomore year of college.

These are good choices...the Adam Sandler made me giggle!
Billy Joel I have called one of my fake, older, famous, drunk boyfriends, on my blog for years. I actually like his work.
I am right there with you on the Billy Joel front. Man! I saw him in concert last year and he was NUTS.
Happy OSF! I don't tell many folks ... but, Mulan is probably my favorite Disney cartoon movie. I used to ask my daughter to watch it over and over just so I could see it!
Great picks! I love Piano Man and I love animated movies!
I gotta say of all the OSF sites I've visited for today's theme, this one hands-down has the most surprising choices. And good ones too! That one by Adam Sandler had me cracking up.
@Cooper and soulafrodisiac: I love Billy Joel's collection. I'll even hum along to "We Didn't start the Fire" even though it is horrific.
@Villager: My productivity is never helped by the fact that all of Mulan is on You Tube.
@Keith: You think so? thanks. Steve Polychronopolous is a classic, but not well known.
Old School Friday: Prom or something like it.

103-0004 Glen Maury
With its naïve use of academic architectural forms and details, Glen Maury is a provincial, though visually appealing, attempt by a local builder to achieve a formal Classical Revival mansion. The local vernacular forms, such as the molded-brick cornices and I-plan blend well with classical elements such as the pedimented portico and round-arch windows. Of particular interest are the boldly carved mantels, which are also regional interpretations of academic Late Georgian forms. Built ca. 1831, the house was first owned by Elisha Paxton, a plantation farmer. Now owned by the city of Buena Vista, whose downtown historic district is immediately across the Maury River, Glen Maury farm serves the community as a city park. The Paxton House Historical Society, formed in 1997, restored the house as a social, educational, and historical center.

When was the last time you ate in your own backyard? Did you have to use rocks to hold the tablecloth down from the wind, wear sunglasses to see your own plate and shield the food from bugs and dirt? A pergola provides the perfect combination of style and function for your outdoor space. Finally, you can enjoy a place to eat, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors no matter where you live. Let's check out these easy DIY pergola tutorials!
There are several different types of DIY pergolas. This one includes one solid wall and three open walls. Even if you have large trees on your property, they can be worked around, like this one. I love the addition of a light fixture, it really extends the living space of your home and makes the outdoors feel cozier.
This pergola features a slide-on wire hung canopy that you can move back and forth depending on whether you need a little shade, or you're more in the mood for sunshine. If you know you'd need shade of the time, you can find shade covers made to order for your dimensions on amazon.com here. They are waterproof and block UV rays .
I love how the seating is incorporated directly into the pergola. Sturdy beams make the perfect place to hang a deck swing.
There are several ways to build a pergola including several DIY options. If you'd rather hire a professional, this pergola was created by the pros at Decks Plus and you can still add your own personal touches with soft ivory curtains for outdoor use, and lighting.
If a full pergola is too overwhelming, try a corner DIY pergola perfect for hanging plants and corner seating.
Not all pergolas have to be square, this arched pergola is absolutely beautiful and combines a beautiful garden area with plenty of seating space for a crowd.
If you have a large deck area, pergolas are a good way to separate the space to create a private seating area.
Pergolas are also perfect for odd-shaped decks. This pentagon deck lends itself perfectly to a pergola that provides both shade and coverage.
Building your own pergola may be easier than you think. Wood wiz Ana White has full how-to plans on her site that allow you to customize your pergola to exactly what you are looking for.
For a slightly more modern look, consider a pergola with windows and plant hangers. This DIY project is featured on Lowe's and looks absolutely stunning.
A pergola is the best way to extend your living space. When tucked up against the house, it gives more space for cooking, living, and dining.

As US midterms approach, moms hit the trail to preach gun control
Lucie AUBOURG
AFP• October 27, 2018
Dawnee Giammittorio is campaigning for Virginia Democrat Jennifer Wexton on behalf of Moms Demand Action, a group clamoring for tougher gun control which she joined after her sister-in-law was shot dead

Sterling (United States) (AFP) - With a stack of pamphlets under her arm, Dawnee Giammittorio -- who has been a gun control activist since her sister-in-law was shot dead -- goes door-to-door in northern Virginia, hoping to help flip control of Congress back to the Democrats.
Giammittorio is canvassing in a state that is traditionally conservative but gradually turning to purple, and even blue, as urbanization brings a more diverse population, especially in the areas outside Washington.
"If we want the Congress to do something, we are going to have to change the people," Giammittorio said in the runup to the November 6 midterm elections.
"We have ineffective gun laws."
In this part of Virginia, gun issues are particularly sensitive, as America's powerful gun rights lobby, the National Rifle Association, is based here.
Giammittorio belongs to Moms Demand Action, which gathers each weekend to campaign in pairs, meeting voters to discuss their work for candidates that support tougher gun controls.
The right to bear arms is enshrined in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, but the issue of gun violence is a constant political football in America.
Mass shootings -- sadly commonplace in the US -- are often followed by calls for political action, which then fade into the background. And the cycle then repeats.
Every day in America, firearms kill more than 90 people. Two-thirds of those are suicides.
Like thousands of other moms, who wear red shirts for their cause, the 56-year-old Giammittorio is hoping for change at the ballot box.
She is campaigning for Jennifer Wexton, a Democrat running for a seat in the House of Representatives against Republican incumbent Barbara Comstock, who has an "A" rating from the NRA for her voting record.
"Jennifer Wexton would definitely help change the balance in the House," said Giammittorio, who is unabashed about her work for Moms Demand Action, which is backing 3,000 "gun sense candidates" on the federal, state and local levels.
- Millions of dollars -
Giammittorio, who lives closer to Washington in Alexandria, got up on a day off to canvass in Sterling, located in Loudoun County, the scene of the Wexton-Comstock race.
Wexton wants to ban assault-style weapons and bolster background checks for gun buyers, specifically to look at their criminal record and mental health history.
The contest is a high-profile one, and money is being poured into both campaigns.
Comstock has been dubbed "Trumpstock" in some ads, and is also the target of a spot featuring Gabby Giffords, the former congresswoman who was nearly killed in a shooting attack in 2011.
"Shooting after shooting, Barbara Comstock has failed. She's taken thousands from the NRA. We must do better," Giffords said in the ad, which is running on local television networks.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the NRA has spent $140,000 on Comstock's campaigns since she was elected to Congress in 2014.
Wexton is meanwhile backed by Everytown for Gun Safety, an organization with ties to Moms Demand Action and which is largely financed by billionaire former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Everytown plans to spend $20 million nationwide before Election Day on candidates in key districts who favor gun curbs.
The NRA did not respond to a request for comment.
- Not easy to sway voters -
Giammittorio is doing what she can -- she knocked on about 40 doors in Sterling on this particular day of canvassing, but received less than a warm welcome in some cases.
There is "no such thing" as loopholes in legislation on gun purchases, said one man who called himself an "unbiased Republican" and said he owned a gun for hunting.
Undaunted, Giammittorio urges him to change his mind, revealing her personal story.
Her sister-in-law went to answer the door, she explains, and a mentally unstable man targeted her for no apparent reason.
"I came to realize how lax our gun laws are in the United States," Giammittorio says of her own experience.
"We have gun laws that are not really designed to keep people from getting guns."
- Candidates under fire -
Alongside Giammittorio is Elizabeth Coppage, who is the local leader for Moms Demand Action in Loudoun County. She says she believes their work is important.
"I do think we have a chance of flipping this district," says the 45-year-old Coppage, who is pounding the pavement with her daughter.
Coppage says she started working on gun violence issues in 2012, as a way to channel her anger over the Sandy Hook school shooting that left 26 people dead in Connecticut, 20 of them young children.
Despite the national outrage over that deadly shooting spree by a lone gunman, little changed at the federal level in terms of gun legislation.
The gun control debate reared its ugly head once again earlier this year after a school shooting in Parkland, Florida that left 17 people dead, most of them teenage students.
Survivors of the attack have become vocal activists, spearheading the "March For Our Lives" in March, which brought together more than a million people nationwide, including a massive crowd in Washington.
"There is now greater pressure on candidates in many places to address the issue, in part because of the response to the Parkland shootings," said Robert Spitzer, a professor of political science and expert on gun politics at the State University of New York at Cortland.
Gun policy is the third most important issue to voters in November's midterms, after health care and the economy, according to a recent survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation.


Before you start studying, get organized. Make a to-do list and organize your tasks in order of priority. When ordering your tasks, first do anything that takes less than five minutes. Next, try to split up large projects into smaller tasks since this makes them feel more doable. Getting everything organized will make your life so much easier and there's nothing more satisfying than checking off completed tasks.
Put your phone away so that you're not tempted to look at it. If you can, turn it off and put it in another room. Apps such as Forest and Tide also provide study timers that block you from accessing other apps on your phone and keep you focused. If you must have your phone to listen to music or wait for a call, make sure that it is at least somewhere far from you so you have to make an effort to look at it. Or, try timelapsing yourself so that you can look back on your progress later.
If you're having trouble getting started, give yourself a small goal: tell yourself you will study for five minutes. If that seems like too much, try three. Stop the task from being intimidating, and you'll find it easier to get started. After a few minutes, you might find that it's easier to keep working. If that's the case, keep going for another ten or twenty minutes. If not, take a break and come back later.
Study in short bursts rather than long chunks. The Pomodoro Method suggests taking a five- minute break every 25 minutes of studying. During your breaks, get a snack, take a walk or stretch. Try to avoid checking your phone, but if you can't resist, set a timer to make sure your short break doesn't turn into something much longer.

WATCH: Here's What Pelosi Said In 1998 About Giving A President A Preview Of A Report. It Isn't What She's Saying Now.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi revealed her enormous hypocrisy on Thursday, blasting Attorney General William Barr for giving President Trump's team a "sneak preview" of the Mueller Report. Pelosi tweeted:
AG Barr has confirmed the staggering partisan effort by the Trump Admin to spin public's view of the #MuellerReport – complete with acknowledgment that the Trump team received a sneak preview. It's more urgent than ever that Special Counsel Mueller testify before Congress.
AG Barr has confirmed the staggering partisan effort by the Trump Admin to spin public's view of the #MuellerReport – complete with acknowledgment that the Trump team received a sneak preview. It's more urgent than ever that Special Counsel Mueller testify before Congress. https://t.co/waoGzLntlt
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) April 18, 2019
But as NTK Network points out, in 1998, Pelosi had the opposite perspective: when the House was debating H.R. 525, which demanded the immediate public release of Ken Starr's report revolving around Bill Clinton's sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky, Pelosi turned to House Speaker Newt Gingrich and stated:
Mr. Speaker, for seven of the eleven years that I have served in Congress, I have served on the Ethics Committee or the ethics task force. It is from that perspective that I have several questions to ask. If indeed what we are talking about here today is the process under which the Starr report will be released, why then have the airwaves been filled with details of the Starr report for the last 36 hours? It has supposedly been under lock and key here. One can only assume the leaks are coming from the independent counsel's office. My second question is to you, Mr. Speaker: Why would you not afford the President of the United States the same opportunity you were given by the Ethics Committee of having almost a week's advance notice to review the charges against you, and so that you could have your response be part of the report?
As NTK Network notes, "Pelosi was referring to an Ethics Committee investigation into Gingrich, which resulted in the House officially reprimanding Gingrich for claiming tax-exempt status for a college course that was run for political purposes."
For Pelosi to complain about partisanship is highly amusing; as recently as last week, when the Associated Press asked Pelosi what would satisfy Democrats, she answered, "I'll be satisfied when we have a new president of the United States who is a Democrat." She added, "I am from the left. I'm a progressive Democrat from San Francisco … and I'm proud of who I am."
One can understand Pelosi's utter frustration after Mueller's report cleared Trump of any collusion with Russia; after all, this is the same woman who said as far back as June 2017 in an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo, "And I think it's important for the American people to know, what do the Russians have on Donald Trump — politically, financially, personally — that he is standing in the way of this legitimate investigation as to Russian impact on our election, and to prevent them from doing it again."
Pelosi's partisanship goes beyond the enmity she has for Trump and extends to those who do not endorse her political views; in October 2018 she said she would accept "collateral damage" for those who disagreed with those views, saying:
We have to have total clarity about what we do when it comes to everything — a woman's right to choose, gay marriage … whether it's about immigration, whether it's about gun safety, whether it's about climate … I think that we owe the American people to be there for them, for their financial security, respecting the dignity and worth of every person in our country, and if there's some collateral damage for some others who do not share our view, well, so be it, but it shouldn't be our original purpose."

Find Out Why Your External Manifest is Being Ignored.
External manifests can be very frustrating – they never seem to behave as documented. After a long session of forehead-repeatedly-meets-wall one of the greatest sources of frustration has been unearthed.
In the course Win7 LUA/Non-Admin Application Integration Engineer (ENG-60), we have a lab where students configure an external manifest. Frustratingly this lab would result in a portion of students having their manifest ignored.
As students experimented there was no consistent pattern to how or whether they were able to resolve the manifest being ignored. For some it worked fine first time through, for others the manifest would only be recognized after logging off and on, for some it required a reboot and for others not even a reboot fixed it. The eventlog for the source "SidebySide" showed nothing and running sxstrace.exe came up empty.
So I re-wrote the entire lab with a completely different EXE! When I did the final run through, my manifest was IGNORED! You've heard of road rage? I had code rage.
Code-rage fueled Googling finally yielded some obscure hints and I was able to piece together an external manifest lab that worked reliably.
The Microsoft documentation on external manifests would lead one to conclude that as long as an EXE does not have an embedded manifest, an external manifest will be read and used instead.
Enjoying your read? Subscribe to our newsletter (without loosing your place in this article).
This cache is resident in memory and there is no way to give a command to flush it. Allegedly a reboot should flush it. However, this does not always do the trick as evidenced by my own experience and the comments of others.
The secret sauce here is that if you change the EXE's modification date time stamp, the loader will look again for a manifest. This seems to work reliably every time.
Download and install Digital Photo Fixer from Icegiant software at http://www.icegiant.com/.
This is just a simple program that I know does not have an internal manifest.
From an ELEVATED text editor, create a .manifest (digitalPhotoFixer.exe.manifest) file that manifests the EXE to requireAdministrator. (You can simply copy one from our manifest templates) BE CAREFUL to elevate when editing .manifest files because they can also be UAC Virtualized. A registry key that prevents UAC virtualization of .manifests is included in the utilities here.
If you run sxstrace.exe (a handy script to do that is here) – there will be no records.
Check the eventlog for SideBySide events – nada.
Launch digitalPhotoFixer.exe again and voila!
Change the manifest to asInvoker.
Optional: check it's virtualization status – should be "Disabled" if the manifest is being used.
Figure 1 – The requested operation requires elevation.
This is a head scratcher if you don't know what is going on because it's obvious the operation requires elevation when the EXE was just manifested to prompt for elevation. The message is actually generated by the main instance of explorer.exe. I have to guess that the Activation Context Caching is has somehow cached not only: a) the fact that a manifest exists, but b) the actual requestedExecutionLevel – but later, the loader reads the manifest.
This is a confusing result – especially since sxstrace.exe shows nothing in this circumstance and there are no SideBySide event log messages.
When a "requireAdministrator" manifest is cached and I edit the manifest to "asInvoker" I do seem to consistently get the proper manifesting of asInvoker – which is an extremely good thing since leaving it cached to requireAdministrator is obviously a problem.
What I do know is that if I update the modification date stamp of the EXE whenever the manifest the manifest is updated, the results are predictable – it works as expected.
When an application is being distributed, it is, of course distributed with a final manifest that is not constantly edited – so it will generally work as expected. However, when you are editing the manifest to test various configurations or need to update one that is already distributed – this can drive you crazy.
If you the need to have a manifest rescanned, change the modification date of the manifested .EXE. "Touch" changes the modified stamp to the current date and time, but it can be any time as long as it is different. It also does not need to be newer than the modification date of the .manifest.
If you need to have all manifests rescanned, change the registry key HKLM \SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\ SideBySide\PublisherPolicyChangeTime. CAUTION: I do not know what else this affects, but it seems to be a relatively arbitrary value. You probably want to keep it the same length. Maybe increment it. Could even put a runonce key entry in to decrement it back to it's previous value.
TEST RESULT: Back dating the file modified time for the .manifest to be before the .EXE modified date FAILED to cause manifest to be rescanned.
TEST RESULT: Updated version in manifest FAILED to cause manifest to be rescanned.
TEST RESULT: Updated description in manifest FAILED to cause manifest to be rescanned.
OBSERVATION: Editing a manifest from requireAdministrator to asInvoker seems to be picked up without using any method to invalidate the cache entry.
INFORMATION: No regression testing was done using the requestedExecutionLevel=highestAvailable.
OBSERVATION: The non-exported function BaseSrvSxsGetCacheKey in sxssrv.dll appears to be the one that checks the value of the registration key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\PublisherPolicyChangeTime, lending to support to the idea it somehow provides cache aging information for the Activation Context Cache.
TEST RESULT: Changing modification of .EXE back one second did cause the manifest to be rescaned, so the comparison process is doing "not equal" instead of "greater than" to some other value.
TEST RESULT: Changing the Created date of the .EXE does not cause a rescan of the manifest.
TEST RESULT: Changed value of PublisherPolicyChangeTime to 10. System worked as normal across multiple tests, showing that this value may be arbitrary.
TEST RESULT: Changing PublisherPolicyChangeTime does not cause manifest rescans to be done all the time until the next reboot (falsified hypothesis that PublisherPolicyChangeTime might read by csrss.exe at bootup and not re-read until restart).
TEST RESULT: Reboot does not change PublisherPolicyChangeTime, even if it has been altered to a custom value.
OBSERVATION: The folder C:\Windows\winsxs\ManifestCache and .bin file in it have a date a couple weeks back – does not seem to be related to the problem of ignored manifests.

As of the year 2000, I had promised myself to live the rest of my life by myself. Then I met my wife Megan, and I had to rethink all those promises.
Because I believe writing is a tool for knowing, I mentally drafted "Suicide Hill" while proctoring 8th grade students taking state tests in North Carolina. I watched the students and I just kept telling this story about a basketball coach who was working as a pall bearer at a funeral. It's set in a cemetary in Winamac, Indiana where I used to go sledding and really did cut my throat on a tree limb.
I used a draft of the story Suicide Hill for my writing sample to Georgia College. The story also convinced me I should get married.

Measles symptoms begin with a high fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes, followed by a rash that usually begins at the head and spreads to the rest of the body. Measles can be transmitted to others from four days prior to four days after the rash appears. Measles infection can have serious complications such as pneumonia, seizures and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, 90% of the people close to that person who are not yet immune could become infected. The amount of measles vaccines given out in Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties for the last week of January was three times as high as the same period a year ago. It is 99% effective at preventing measles infection.
Five of the cases involved young children, some of whom received one round of the two-part vaccine. "Now, we are seeing people opting out of getting immunized (and) we are seeing a resurgence".
While the majority of children in Donegal still receive the MMR vaccine, the numbers have been dropping slightly over the past few years. The MMR vaccine has been used for many years and is very safe. If you suspect that you or your child has symptoms of measles, please call your GP and inform them.
"To investigate to identify maybe where they went right away so that we can start notifying the public, you know, that these places you may have been exposed to measles", Christ said. Your GP will be able to make special arrangements for you to come in and see him or her and do tests to confirm your diagnosis.

Magazine / News / Four ex-winners will chase £500 bounty for record time in Three Peaks Race
Four ex-winners will chase £500 bounty for record time in Three Peaks Race
Liz Roberts, Reporter
Tuesday 21 April 2015 07:38 PM GMT
Runners ascend Pen-y-ghent in a previous race, with Ingleborough and Whernside in the distance
Four former winners will be chasing a £500 bounty for smashing the race record in a gruelling 'marathon with mountains' at the weekend.
Organisers of the Three Peaks Race in the Yorkshire Dales are offering the prize for any runner who beats the 19-year-old course record.
Andy Peace of Bingley Harriers set the fastest time over the 37km (23-mile) route in 1996, with a time of 2hrs 46mins 3secs.
This year's race, which ascends Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, has attracted the maximum 1,000 entrants.
Among challengers will be Rob Jebb, 40, of Bingley Harriers, who won in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009. He came home in third place in 2014 behind the race winner Ricky Lightfoot and the 2011 victor Tom Owens, both Salomon International runners – the event's main sponsor.
The three runners are all on the 2015 entry list. Last year Lightfoot, from Maryport, Cumbria, finished in 2hrs 53mins 16secs. Owens, from Glasgow, took 29 minutes to the top of Pen-y-ghent, 10 seconds faster than Lightfoot, but crossed the line in 2hrs 56mins 13secs.
But organisers said all eyes will be on another Salomon International runner, Joe Symonds, who won in 2012 and 2013 and is returning in an attempt to equal the achievement of his father Hugh Symonds, of Kendal Athletics Club, the winner in 1984, 1985 and 1987.
Symonds, 31, who works as a paediatrician at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, was absent from the Three Peaks Race in 2014. He was brought up at Sedbergh in Cumbria and used to train on the Three Peaks. His best time is 2hrs 54mins 39secs in 2013.
Anna Pichrtova of the Czech Republic, who holds the women's record
A £500 bonus is also on offer to the women's prizewinner who beats the record of 3hrs 14mins 43secs set by Anna Pichrtova of the Czech Republic, who competed when the Three Peaks hosted the World Mountain Running Challenge in 2008.
Previous winners Anna Lupton, of Black Coombe Runners, and Victoria Wilkinson, of Bingley Harriers, both 36, are entered in 2015. Based on past form, Wilkinson has the best chance of claiming a new record and the £500 prize. In 2014 she set a time of 3hrs 21mins 32secs – just over six minutes outside the record.
The race, which is being held for the 61st time, is regarded as one of the toughest but most popular events in the fellrunning calendar. Entrants have to satisfy qualifying criteria to gain a place, but many come back year after year. Few have the stamina of 71-year-old Dave Scott from Clayton-le-Moors Harriers. He is returning for his 48th race.
The Three Peaks Race starts from the playing field at Horton in Ribblesdale at 10.30am on Saturday, 25 April.
Leading runners should be on the summit of Pen-y-ghent at 10.55am, at Ribblehead at 11.40am, Whernside summit at 12.10pm; Hill Inn at 12.25pm, Ingleborough summit at 12.50pm and finishing from 1.15pm.
Organisers warned there is no spectator parking on the roadside or on Philpin Lane at the Hill Inn checkpoint at Chapel-le-Dale and it is only available in the quarry west of the viaduct at Ribblehead.

Q: Why does a query with a sub-select cost less than query with a constant in Oracle I've got an SQL-table with some million entries and I tried to query how much entries are older than 60 days (Oracle 11.2.0.1.0).
For this experiment I used 3 different versions of the select-statement:
(The cost-value is given by TOAD for Oracle V. 9.7.2.5)

*

*select count(*) from fman_file
where dateadded >= (select sysdate - 60 from dual)
Cost: 65

*select count(*) from fman_file
where dateadded >= sysdate - 60
Cost: 1909

*select count(*) from fman_file
where dateadded >= sysdate - numtodsinterval(60,'day')
Cost: 1884

*select count(*) from fman_file where dateadded >= '10.10.2009'
Cost: 1823
(The 10.10.2009 is just an example-date!!!)
I don't have the accurate time-values for all queries in mind, but the first one really was the fastest.
So I tried some more select-queries with other subselects (like (Select 1000 from dual)) and they were (sometimes WAY) faster than the others with constant-values. It even seems that this "WHATEVER" (Bug/Feature) is happening in MySQL too.
So can anyone tell me why the first query is (way) faster that the others?
Greetz
P.S.: This ain't about the sydate! The question is WHY IS THE VARIATION WITH THE (Select) FASTER THAN THE OTHERS? (with a little focus on Select-Variation(1.) vs. Constant-Variation (4.))

A: Found some hints in my copy of "Cost-Based Oracle Fundamentals" by Jonathan Lewis in chapter 6 "surprising sysdate". This seems to apply to 9i, probably also later versions.

The optimizer treats sysdate (and trunc(sysdate) and a few other functions of sysdate) as known constants at parse time, but sysdate + N becomes an unknown, and gets the same treatment as a bind variable - which means a fixed 5% selectivity. (Note in particular that sysdate + 0 will give a different cardinality from sysdate.)

Apparently the optimizer also recognizes the select sysdate from dual as a known constant.

A: Tom Kyte:

The advantage to dual is the optimizer understands dual is a special one row, one
  column table -- when you use it in queries, it uses this knowledge when developing the
  plan.

A: Did you re-try numbers 2-4 with () around the calculation after the >= -- it seems to me the first statement is the only one where it calculates that value once -- for all the others it recalculates on every row.
eg:
select count(*) from fman_file where dateadded >= (SELECT sysdate - 60)

select count(*) from fman_file where dateadded >= (SELECT (sysdate - numtodsinterval(60,'day'))

select count(*) from fman_file where dateadded >= (SELECT CONVERT(datetime,'10.10.2009'))

NB -- don't know the syntax to convert to a datetime in Oracle -- but you get the idea.

A: You could try using Explain Plan. This will show you what the queries are doing and the differences between them.
A couple of links to setup and use explain plan:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10500_01/server.920/a96533/ex_plan.htm
http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/explainplan.html

A: instead of using (select sysdate - 60 from dual) i'd rather recommend you using a bind variable, which value is calculated before the query become executed

As New York's highest court, the Court of Appeals noted in Schneider v. Phelps, 41 N.Y.2d 238, 243 (1977),
"The purpose of usury laws, from time immemorial, has been to protect desperately poor people from the consequences of their own desperation. Law-making authorities in almost all civilizations have recognized that the crush of financial burdens causes people to agree to almost any conditions of the lender and consent to even the most improvident loans. Lenders, with the money, have all the leverage; borrowers, in dire need of money, have none. In recognizing this problem, the courts have drawn a delicate balance by both enforcing legitimate business obligations and by protecting impoverished debtors from improvident transactions drawn by lenders and brought on by dire personal financial stress."
New York, like most states, addressed these concerns by creating both civil and criminal usury caps, above which a lender may not charge. New York's civil usury limit is 16 percent per year. New York's criminal usury limit is 25 percent per year.
Unfortunately, not every company operating in New York has adhered to the laws and regulations applicable to them. Midland Funding LLC, one of the largest debt collectors in the United States, claimed that it was exempt from New York's usury laws because it had purchased the consumer debts on which it was trying to collect from national banks, which are exempt from most usury limits under the National Bank Act.
Our firm, Schlanger Law Group, LLP challenged Midland's practice and argued on behalf of over 58,000 class members that Midland was required to abide by New York's usury laws — even if it had purchased the debts from national banks that were themselves exempt. After almost eight years of litigation, we are pleased to announce that on September 12, 2019, the Southern District of New York gave final approval to a settlement agreement that resolved the litigation and obligated Midland to provide $9.25 million in balance credits, as well as $555,000 in cash to New York consumers.
Getting to this point was not easy, though. In order to achieve this strong result, the attorneys at Schlanger Law Group, LLP — based out of New York City & Jackson, MS — spent thousands of hours fighting for the rights of consumers over the better part of a decade.
This included appealing an early, negative decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and litigating against Midland and its numerous allies in the banking industry on the issue of whether the case should be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. Schlanger Law Group's dedication to their clients and the rule of law helped thousands of consumers recover compensation.
Identifying Illegal Collection Practices
In November 2011, Schlanger Law Group filed a complaint against a purchaser of consumer credit card debt called Midland Funding, LLC, alleging that Midland was violating New York state law concerning maximum interest rates. Specifically, according to New York Penal Law §190.42, it is a class C felony to charge more than a 25 percent interest rate on any loan, including credit cards. We argued that by charging more than was allowed under the criminal usury statute, Midland was violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which is a federal law that prohibits false, deceptive, and unfair debt collection, as well as New York General Business Law §349, which makes it illegal for any business to engage in a deceptive act or practice in the conduct of business.
The Winding Path Through the Courts
Obtaining a successful resolution in the In Re Midland Funding LLC Interest Rate Litigation required years of tenacious and dogged effort, as well as the persistence to withstand setbacks along the way. In fact, the Southern District of New York initially threw out the case, agreeing with Midland that it was not subject to the New York usury law and enjoyed exemption under the National Bank Act.
However, Schlanger Law Group refused to give up and successfully argued before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals that the National Bank Act did not apply to debt collectors where a national bank no longer owned or serviced the accounts. In 2015, the Second Circuit agreed that Midland was not exempt under the National Bank Act and sent the case back to the trial court to resolve various other issues concerning application of New York's usury laws to these collection accounts.
Still, the legal drama regarding whether the National Bank Act applied to debt collectors such as Midland did not end there. First, Midland asked the Second Circuit to reconsider its decision or hear the case en banc (i.e., in front of all thirteen active Second Circuit judges, instead of a three-judge panel). When that was unsuccessful, Midland subsequently made a request to the United States Supreme Court to review the decision of the Second Circuit. A collection of interested parties including bankers' associations, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Public Citizen, Public Justice, the National Association of Consumer Advocates, The Center for Responsible Lending, and many others submitted briefs to the Court, and the Supreme Court asked for the views of the U.S. Solicitor General before ultimately declining to hear the case.
The case then returned to the District Court. Midland next argued that it was allowed to charge over 25 percent interest because the credit card contracts in question all had "choice of law" provisions that required the Court to apply the law of states that had no usury caps. Midland also argued that New York's usury laws didn't apply to interest charged after default. In a decision issued in early 2017, the District Court disagreed, finding that the 25 percent criminal usury cap represented a fundamental public policy of the State of New York and therefore could not be circumvented by means of a choice of law clause. The District Court denied Midland's motion for summary judgment and ruled that the case could proceed on a class basis.
The parties continued to vigorously litigate multiple disputes regarding what documents and data needed to be disclosed and a variety of other procedural and substantive issues.
Ultimately, the parties entered into negotiations that resulted in the settlement agreement recently given final approval by the Court. The settlement allowed class members to claim over nine million dollars in balance credits, as well as a $555,000 in cash relief. Participation in the claims process was robust, and there were no objections by any of the class members. Any settlement funds that don't get distributed (e.g. because a class member doesn't cash his or her check), will be distributed to the Empire Justice Center, a non-profit organization that advocates on behalf of New York consumers state-wide.
Although the case is now closed, Schlanger Law Group continues to work on a variety of other cases involving interest overcharges, hidden fees, and other lending and collection misconduct.
Schlanger Law Group, LLP Fought for the Rights of Consumers
Every consumer deserves a fair shake when dealing with lenders and debt collectors. Schlanger Law Group works every day to even the playing field and hold predatory lenders, overzealous debt collectors, and others accountable under federal and state law. We are proud of our work on the Midland Funding LLC Interest Rate Litigation: over the course of eight-plus hearings in multiple courts, and thousands of hours of work, our attorneys – through hard work and perseverance – were able to achieve an extremely positive result.
If you are dealing with interest overcharges, hidden fees, false credit reporting, or other similar misconduct, we may be able to help you hold responsible parties accountable. Call our firm today or contact us online to get your case started.

More than 400 stolen animals located in police raid
Agriland Team
Oct 16, 2018, 9:18am
Police are working to reunite hundreds of suspected stolen animals with their rightful owners in north Yorkshire following a recent raid in England.
More than 400 animals – including dogs, sheep, goats, rabbits, turkeys, ducks and chickens – have been seized as part of the investigation, and are being looked after in secure locations.
Officers from North Yorkshire Police's Rural Taskforce located a man in suspicious circumstances on land in the Thirsk area at about 4:00pm last Friday, October 12.
About 30 live turkeys were found in a pick-up truck at the scene, and a large number of other animals were then located at the premises of the suspect, according to North Yorkshire Police.
These animals include:
Approximately 90 sheep and goats of different breeds;
Approximately 80 ducks of different breeds;
About 180 poultry;
Nine rabbits; and
10 pigeons.
A vet attended to check on the welfare of the animals, and sadly one of the goats and two of the turkeys had to be put down.
All the other animals have been seized, and taken to secure locations where they will be cared for while the investigation continues.
Two border collie dogs which had previously been reported stolen from an address in Lancashire were also located, and will be reunited with their rightful owners.
The 42-year-old man, from the Ripon area, was arrested on suspicion of the theft of animals, money laundering and breaching an order disqualifying him from keeping animals.
He has been released under investigation while police enquiries continue, according to North Yorkshire Police.
Many of the sheep and goats have distinguishing identification marks or tag numbers, and enquiries are already underway. In addition, the owner of around 40 chickens has been identified.
Officers are in particular trying to locate the owners of 11 Swaledale tup lambs, and speak to anyone who lost or sold 30 turkeys on or around Friday, October 12.
Sergeant Kevin Kelly, of North Yorkshire Police's Rural Taskforce, said: "We really need the public to pull together with this one, and help us get the word out there, as we suspect that not all of the animals will be stolen from the North Yorkshire area.
"The sheer volume of animals makes this a complex investigation. Our priority has been to ensure that the animals are safe and well.
We are working closely with the RSPCA as our enquiries continue, as we look to restore any stolen property to its rightful owners as quickly as possible.
"We are now speaking to the NFU and the farming community to help us establish the ownership of these animals. Thankfully, the owners of the two collie dogs are 'over the moon' to be reunited with their beloved dogs."
Anyone with any information that could assist the investigation is asked to get in touch, police have said.

Violence Highlights Hunger
by Jose Ma. Montelibano April 7, 2016
written by Jose Ma. Montelibano April 7, 2016
That is the only way this crunching moral, social and economic anomaly can be given special attention—by a drama. It was not even a massacre, not if it was true that thousands were protesting and blocking a highway and only five died, one by a heat stroke and another by a thrown rock, probably from a fellow protester. But it was enough to grab national attention, and hunger should be grateful for that.
It is political season, and that is why there has been a spotlight on the Kidapawan incident. It can sound like it is hunger, but it is not. Hunger has been a constant reality for tens of millions, year in and year out. It has not merited any sound and fury from those who now appear as though they are truly most concerned citizens. They had all these decades to shout out their sympathy for the hungry, or their anger at inutile governance—they did not.
Because the truth is that hardly anyone cares, or cares enough, about our poor getting hungry. Hardly anyone cares enough about the poor but the poor themselves. They have become old and boring furniture of our decrepit national house. Every three years now, they are being dusted and given token attention, when the windows of elections allow some sunlight in.
In a country completely caught up with the dynamics of business and politics, poverty and hunger are incidental. True, governments like ours join the global effort against poverty, including setting up of millennial goals to cut poverty by half within a given period of years. There is a lot of talk but no visible and discussable roadmap. No meaningful results, either.
Each department has its own priorities and poverty is one concern they are obligated, politically and diplomatically, to give lip service to. But no department, no agency, no collective body, has an antipoverty program that is bound to all others in one comprehensive and integrated vision and mission. Somewhere in the bureaucracy, there is an antipoverty commission. What its mandate is and what resources are dedicated to it is anybody's guess. Because it reflects where in the totem pole of national concern poverty is, where hunger is.
So life occasionally steps in, and arranges a violent encounter or two. Sometimes, even a "Yolanda." Without death in wholesale proportion, without global media attention, or without international aid and intervention, how much really is the poor worth to the rest of Philippine society? Inside that poverty is a smaller section called the hungry, 10 to 20 million Filipinos (the percentages rise and fall from 10 to 20 percent in the last 20 years). All the more this section of our poor merits even less concern and attention. Until a massacre, a deadly typhoon, a destructive landslide.
And so fate just gave the poor and the hungry another booster shot through the Kidapawan encounter. Or was it God? Anyway, the violent dispersal of a protest came at a bad time. At the very least, it was badly handled, both the dispersal and the attempts to justify why it had to be done. Did the Left manipulate it? Of course, they did. Have you ever seen thousands of poor farmers who can hardly survive their farming routine become expert in blocking highways and rock-throwing—at policemen at that? Only activists and militants know how to confront police or military personnel and not blink, then push some more.
Surprisingly, the beneficiary is not the Left or the political opposition. It is the poor and the hungry among them—at least in that area of Mindanao. First, the nation paid attention, sympathized, even got angry. That is enough to translate to thousands of sacks of rice for families who could surely use them. And there will be a short list of items besides that can help the drought-affected farmers come the new planting season.
There have been some discussions over print and broadcast media, asking about what government has done and spent to counter the adverse impact of the El Niño. It's not going viral, though, and needs its own drama, its own massacre or scandal context. Because poverty and hunger just don't generate that much of an interest as if the poor and the hungry just don't have that kind of value to the rest of Philippine society. Until people die, many people die. Because without the drama, poverty and hunger are simply boring subjects.
The drought is not as harsh as expected. Only a few provinces have reached a point that they are now declared as calamity areas. Even then, a few provinces can still mean hundreds of thousands of families who are forced to experience hunger. They were never really food sufficient even before the drought. Can we think about them even if they are not protesting? Can we feel sorry for them before they become part of a massacre? Can we join hands in creating food relief operations in the more several affected towns and barangays?
Because if we do not, why will a democratic government do? Do we really believe that the obligations of public servants are sacrosanct when the obligations of citizens are not? Incidents such as the Kidapawan protest and dispersal are mere reminders, gentle at that, that society as a whole is caught up in more fractious, personal drama than a deep concern for our collective well-being. The poverty of half of the Filipino people, the constant threat of hunger to half of them, these are not the top of our national priorities.
That is why the Left or political opposition cannot resist but exploit the festering resentment of a marginalized majority, many of whom are terribly food-poor. It's not a resentment against any particular administration but all government on a continuing basis, including everyone who can help but never do.
And all we need to do to change all this is to care enough.

Hot Wheels! At Rocky and Crescent!
Perhaps no amusement park ride has captured the imagination than the Ferris Wheel and its proverbial "stop at the top"… and perhaps a smooch! Whereas Rocky Point Park and Crescent Park had various forms of wheels early in their respective histories, today we are going to look at the two parks' Eli Bridge Ferris Wheels. But first, a little history, please.
The two wheels have an interesting history. W. E. Sullivan, owner of Eli Bridge Company, a bridge building business in Illinois, rode the original 1893 Chicago Ferris Wheel at the World's Columbian Exposition.
Inspired by this, he collaborated with machinist James H. Clements and their first Big Eli wheel debuted in Central Park, Jacksonville, Illinois, on May 23, 1900. Here's another early model Eli Wheel installed in Indiana.
In 1955, Eli Bridge Co. produced its first non-wheel amusement ride, the Scrambler. Eli Bridge Scramblers can still be found in amusement parks and carnivals around the world. Both Crescent Park and Rocky Point purchased Scramblers in the 1960s.
Here's Crescent Park's..
…and here's Rocky Point's.
Now, getting back to the subject at hand, the Ferris Wheels. It is not known when Crescent Park added its first Eli model, but its believed to be shortly after World War II. It was situated across from the Bubble Bounce, in the center of the midway.
Rocky Point's "second life" reopening in 1948 doesn't show a Ferris Wheel in this aerial…
…nor in the opening day ride lineup announced in Billboard magazine.
However, the Ferris Wheel is promoted in this 1958 brochure.
Rocky Point's Wheel took a major blow from the 1954's Hurricane Carol.
But was repaired the following year. And if you look closely at this 1957 aerial, you'll see it in operation in its longtime midway spot.
And it operated majestically into the 1960s and beyond!
Meanwhile, across the Bay, Crescent Park's durable Eli Wheel ran right up until the park's final year of 1978. It's captured in these 1969 photos by former park employee Riondo Ribeiro.
Eli Bridge is still going strong in the Ferris Wheel and Scramber game…
…while other companies have entered the Wheel arena with taller, gondola models like this one below by Chance Rides…it gave me a great photo op with my son Evan at a 2004 Barrington, RI carnival.
So, there's everything you wanted to know about Crescent Park's and Rocky Point's Eli Wheels. But, if you have something you want to add, please comment below!

Higher Standards – Our family's philosophy is to set standards for every aspect of cremation that exceeds the State requirements as well as those of other cremation providers.
Our Crematory – We own and operate our own crematory located at our Glenpool facility for the exclusive use of the families we serve. Most providers do not own their own crematory and many outsource the entire process from the transfer and refrigeration to the cremation without ever identifying your loved one.
In Our Care – Once your loved one is in our care, they remain in the sanctity of our facility until the urn is returned to you or delivered to the service location. Many companies have multiple transfers of the body prior to reaching the contracted crematory and after the cremation, the urn maybe transferred multiple times until it returns to the family.
Peace of Mind – We require all of our families to provide a recent, color photograph for a positive means of identification of their loved one. Relying on the types of identification forms from other care facilities (hospitals, nursing homes, and the medical examiner) are not acceptable to us and do not meet our standards of care. Three of our staff members will positively identify your loved one prior to cremation. Very few, if any, cremation providers in our profession require a positive means of identification as a minimum requirement.
Quality Assurance – We have a checklist to which we adhere before, during, and after the cremation process, to insure the quality and care of every family we serve.
We have found most people are not aware of their options in regards to cremation. Cremation offers you many different choices for honoring your loved one.
Public or Private Visitations – A time to say goodbye face to face in a peaceful tranquil setting, gives your friends & family the opportunity. You can write a letter, place a photograph or favorite keepsake with your loved one.
Funeral Service – A traditional funeral service denotes the physical presence of the body. This would occur whether you choose ground burial or cremation after the service. A funeral service may be held in our chapel, at your church, or at another venue of your choice. A funeral service may contain opening prayers and/or remarks by clergy or someone you designate to preside. It may also include special music, video presentation, readings, poems, eulogies and/or prayers. The funeral service can conclude with either ground burial at a local cemetery or cremation at our on-site crematory.
Memorial Service – A memorial service can mirror a funeral service, with the exception of having the Urn present or not. It would conclude much like the funeral service with burial at a local cemetery. Cremation memorial services also offer unique options of scattering at sea, or the urn may remain in your personal possession. Our staff is knowledgeable in all faith traditions and customs so we can attend to each specific ceremony. If you are not affiliated with a local church, synagogue or parish, our staff is prepared to help you obtain a pastor or chaplain to preside at your service.
Graveside Service – A Graveside Service is a ceremony held at a cemetery of your choice, attended by family and friends. Most graveside services would take place right after the funeral or memorial service. However, you may also request a private graveside service prior to a memorial service at our chapel or a church of your choice. You may also want to include any of our Service Enhancements to create a more personalized service.
Witness Cremation/Witness Processing – Many families want to witness the cremation as well as the final processing of the cremated remains. This may be for religious or cultural reasons, or to say a final goodbye. Others may do it for a more practical reason of assurance and peace of mind that their loved one is cared for properly and respectfully. Because most mortuaries do not operate their own crematories, this cannot take place. We offer this option to you and encourage you to do so.
One of the reasons we wanted our own crematory was the transparency it provides our families. It gives those who want to witness the cremation for ceremonial or religious purposes, or for greater peace-of-mind, the certainty that everything will be carried out just as we promised.
This is why we offer the public an opportunity to see our crematory for themselves. If you are interested, we invite you to call one of our directors anytime at (918) 291-1704 to answer any questions you may have, or to set up an appointment, at no obligation.
