Home Retail Group's profit slumps 70%
Published: Oct. 19, 2011 at 2:32 a.m. ET
Kathy Gordon
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Home Retail Group PLC's (HOME.LN) first half profit slumped an expected 70% amid the U.K. economic downturn, as the group Wednesday announced a joint venture to launch its general merchandise chain Argos in China.
The struggling retailer, which also owns the Homebase chain of home improvement stores, said it hasn't seen the improvement in sales it expected ahead of the all-important Christmas season.
First-half sales fell 6% to GBP2.57 billion and pre-tax profit before expectional items was down 70% to GBP28 million, slightly below market expectations of GBP30 million. Net profit fell to GBP20.4 million from GBP74.7 million last time.
The Argos chain has felt the full force of the consumer slowdown in the U.K. as its mostly lower-income shoppers are forced to spend more on food and fuel and cut back on discretionary items such as consumer electronics and toys.
Chief Executive Terry Duddy said, "As we now enter our busiest trading period, market conditions remain both weak and volatile, and in these early weeks of the second half we have not seen the improvement in sales that we had anticipated."
Still, the company maintained its interim dividend of 4.7 pence but said it would review its final dividend once the full year outcome was known.
Separately, Home Retail said Wednesday it was teaming up with Haier Group to roll out its Argos chain in China, initially in Shangai with a view to national expansion, with an initial two-year investment of GBP45 million, around half of which will be paid by Home Retail.
Home Retail shares closed Tuesday at 120 pence.
The odds that stocks will rise are no different after a 10% decline than they are before.

Jordan Peele Confirms He Has Retired From Acting; Keegan-Michael Key to Star in 'August Snow' for ABC
After the brilliant Comedy Central sketch series Key and Peele went off the air in 2015, the show's two leads embarked on different career paths. Keegan-Michael Key shifted his focus almost entirely to acting, while Jordan Peele quickly became one of Hollywood's go-to horror directors thanks to Get Out and Us.
Here are the latest updates about this formerly dynamic duo: Peele recently confirmed that he has retired from acting on camera, and Key has secured the lead role in August Snow, an ABC drama based on a series of popular crime novels.
Jordan Peele has retired from acting – well, at least in front of the camera. "I like watching my movies," he explained to his Get Out star Bradley Whitford during a recent fundraising event (via THR). "I can watch the films I direct [but] watching me perform just feels like, it's a bad kind of masturbatory. It's masturbation you don't enjoy. I feel like I got to do so much and it is a great feeling. When I think about those great moments when you're basking in something you said that feels funny. When I think about all that, I think I got enough."
I wouldn't be surprised if Peele continued to do voiceover work (like he did for Toy Story 4, or does for Big Mouth) or maybe even serve as an occasional figurehead like he did on The Twilight Zone reboot. But it sounds like he's done acting on screen for now, which, as anyone who has seen Key & Peele can attest, is a loss for anyone who enjoys great comedic performances.
Meanwhile, Key is still going strong in front of the camera. Deadline reports that Key will executive produce and star in August Snow, a drama from Godfather of Harlem's Paul Eckstein that is based on Stephen Mack Jones' novels. Here's how they describe the plot:
August Snow (Key) is a biracial former detective who grew up in Detroit's Mexicantown. After a distinguished military career, he joined the force like his father, only to be drummed out by a conspiracy led by corrupt cops and politicians. August hit back, winning an $18 million wrongful dismissal lawsuit, then packed his bags to travel the world. The series will open with August returning home to the city he has deep affection for in search of himself and reconnecting with his roots while also facing enemies on both sides of the law. August becomes a private investigator, a Robin Hood from the hood, gathering a group of unexpectedly talented misfits to help him solve cases, invests his money to help reinvigorate his city in despair, and save himself along the way.
Key is biracial and from Michigan, so this should have special resonance for him.

Let me start off by saying that my classes have gotten fairly crazy. Unfortunately that means I am writing this post much later in my normal cycle that I would like to be doing. I hope and pray that my rush to get this written for you does not come out in the quality of this post. But if I can believe in resurrection, I'm certain I can write well in spite of the rush. Let us focus our eyes upon Jesus, so the things of this earth can grow dim in the light of who he is (I'm pretty sure that's a song).
Both of these sections show how people did not understand Jesus. They saw him, the recognized what he could do, but did not grasp what it means for Jesus to be who he is. Judas did not recognize the symbol of honor that Mary was giving him and the gentiles were not able to recognize that Jesus was more authoritative than the leaders of Israel. According to Jesus, humanity is under the curse of living in darkness; we cannot see or comprehend the truth. He is the light in the darkness, referring back to John 1:5. Jesus seeks to show the people around him the truth so they know what it is to live with God. Humanity, no matter how pious, had not lived in this truth since the events of Genesis 3. Jesus came to be visual to his people, and show them the way to be.
The truth is that we cannot make it on our own. Apart from Jesus, we cannot see the truth and are stumbling around within our lives. Yes, we try our best, but even a blind person cannot navigate a new space without something to guide them. Not only does God know what you were created for, and what is best for you, Jesus had the same existential experiences you do. Jesus helps you to overcome what you cannot see over. "For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted" (Hebrews 2:18, NASB). Jesus does not want you to fail against temptation. He wants to show you the path that leads past the temptation and into a life that is freed from those chains. Salvation is so much bigger than a ticket to heaven; it is our path Jesus has revealed to us.

Free Houston Museums
Spend your day exploring Houston's museums, while saving big with a complete list of the city's always or sometimes free museums. Don't miss out on other exclusive savings with our experience packages.
Always Free
The Menil Collection--a local treasure, global destination and one of the top free attractions in Houston--opened to the public in June 1987 to house the art collection of philanthropists John and Dominique de Menil. Widely considered one of the greatest of the twentieth century, the collection consists of more than 16,000 works dating from the Paleolithic era to the present day.
Rothko Chapel is a serene place to meditate in the middle of Houston's Museum District near The Menil Collection. Founded by John and Dominque de Menil (of Menil Collection fame), Rothko is a non-denominational chapel and exhibit space for modern art that draws thousands of visitors each year.
Dubbed the Garage Mahal, the Art Car Museum is unlike anything you've ever imagined. It's the only place you'll find the antennae and wing-cloaked Roachster or the Honda motorcycle that has been transformed into a shiny red rolling stiletto art car.
Houston's Contemporary Arts Museum focuses on showing new work from national and international artists. In addition to hosting exhibits, the CAMH also offers lectures, special programs and a stellar shop chock-full of unique books and gifts.
Open and free to the public, the Moody Center for the Arts is dedicated to trans-disciplinary collaboration in the arts, sciences and humanities, and establishes a new arts district on the campus as it stands close by the distinguished Shepherd School of Music and the permanent James Turrell Twilight Epiphany Skyspace.
See the work of local and national artists who focus on using materials like fiber, metal, glass, clay and wood at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. Located next door to Lawndale Art Center, the HCCC has innovative exhibits and unique gifts in the Asher Gallery. Admission is always free.
Located in the Museum District, the Lawndale Art Center is a staple of Houston's art scene. Four galleries are contained in the art deco structure, which serves as a backdrop for annually changing exhibits and events like Dia de los Muertos and The Big Show.
Set in a former auto shop, Midtown's Station Museum is a private organization dedicated to thought-provoking contemporary art displays. The museum does not feature a permanent collection, but does offer three-to-four changing shows each year.
Set in Houston's Third Ward, Project Row Houses is a nonprofit art initiative aimed at creating a positive place for local artists to work. Some of the shotgun-style houses are dedicated to art and photography, while others are devoted to the literary and performing arts.
Blaffer Art Museum, the University of Houston's laboratory for the visual arts and contemporary culture, focuses on the art of the past 100 years and its artistic, cultural and intellectual antecedents. Following a facility expansion in 1999, the museum now presents and/or originates between six to eight exhibitions annually.
Houston Center for Photography is one of only a handful of non-profit spaces around the country that is committed to showing great new photography. HCP has shown work from some of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century, in addition to the work of many emerging photographers who have gone on to great artistic success.
Houston Center for Contemporary Craft is a nonprofit arts organization founded to advance education about the process, product and history of craft. HCCC's major emphasis is on objects of art made primarily from craft materials: clay, fiber, glass, metal, wood or found/recycled materials.

I can not pass this year that will be without knowing what you think about the transformations that have suffered two actresses and that seem me the most emphatic that we have seen.
First Katie Holmes be the bride of Dawson and a little lady has become a magnificent fashionista. We don't know if under the advice of her new friend Victoria Beckham or a good stylist, but has succeeded since the haircut to his ankles, because the only thing that still fails you are shoes.
While Jennifer Garner It has left me open-mouthed at times. First that nothing since after her pregnancy was seen very Haggard, disheveled and without that characteristic of her smile. When suddenly appears in a model from Red Valentino and arraza with the carpet. Starting from there have seen it with a few outfits in each gala or premiere inpresioniantes which has assisted. His weak point was the hairstyle and it is apparently more that taking care.
You could say who is your favorite.

Apple Opening Its First Europe-Based iOS App Development Facility
By: Todd R. Weiss | January 22, 2016
Apple is building the new application development center in Naples, Italy, to help students learn more skills for building iOS apps.
Apple's first iOS app development center on European soil is being assembled in Italy to help train more software developers in the skills needed for building iOS apps for the company's huge customer base around the world.
Apple on Jan. 21 announced that the iOS App Development Center will be in Naples, Italy, at the location of an Apple partner institution that was not yet identified.
The facility is being formed to support teachers and provide a specialized curriculum preparing thousands of future developers to be part of Apple's thriving developer community," the company said. "In addition, Apple will work with partners around Italy who deliver developer training to complement this curriculum and create additional opportunities for students."
While this is the first such iOS development initiative so far in Europe, Apple said it expects to expand the program to other countries around the world.
"Europe is home to some of the most creative developers in the world and we're thrilled to be helping the next generation of entrepreneurs in Italy get the skills they need for success," Tim Cook, Apple CEO, said in a statement. "The phenomenal success of the App Store is one of the driving forces behind the more than 1.4 million jobs Apple has created in Europe and presents unlimited opportunities for people of all ages and businesses of all sizes across the continent."
There is already an active Apple developer community in Italy, according to company officials. More than 75,000 jobs are attributable to the presence of the App Store today in the country.
Apple has not yet given a date for when the new app development facility will open in Italy.
The company has also been busy in recent months acquiring firms to expand its product and service offerings. Earlier in January, the tech giant acquired emotion-detection startup Emotient as the company continues to invest in businesses in a wide range of niches to add to Apple's features and technologies. Emotient provides data about customer attention, engagement and sentiment by analyzing a user's facial expressions and detecting their feelings with its cloud-based services, according to the company's Website. "The company is at the vanguard of a new wave of emotion analysis that will lead to a quantum leap in customer understanding and emotion-aware computing," the site states.
The company's services give "direct measurement of a customer's unfiltered emotional response to ads, content, products and customer service or sales interactions," according to Emotient.
The Emotient acquisition continues Apple's ongoing acquisition spree, which took on a new fervor in 2015 as the company worked to spend some of the more than $178 billion in cash it amassed in recent years on research and acquisitions.
In November 2015, Apple confirmed that it had acquired motion-capture technology startup Faceshift, which builds applications that capture human facial expressions as animated avatars or characters. Faceshift's motion-capturing technology has been used in the making of earlier Star Wars movies. In addition, Faceshift has also worked with Intel and Pepsi on previous marketing campaigns that used motion-capture technology.
In October 2015, Apple bought Perceptio, an artificial intelligence startup that works on ideas that could be integrated into future iPhones. Perceptio's technology helps smartphone owners more easily organize and store photos on their iPhones, making them easier to find and use. The price of the acquisition and terms of the deal were not announced.
In September 2015, Apple reportedly acquired Mapsense, a mapping visualization startup, for $25 million to $30 million to bolster its mapping assets as it continues to develop better map tools in iOS 9 and other Apple products, according to another eWEEK report. Mapsense works to help customers create data-driven maps for a wide range of business uses, while also offering mapping visualization tools and services to developers and enterprises. Apple has been struggling with mobile mapping services in the last several years, especially compared with Google Maps and its offerings.

The law of criminal libel rests upon that secure foundation. There is also the conceded authority of courts to punish for contempt when publications directly tend to prevent the proper discharge of judicial functions.

What have we been up to?
TrainTogether Training Video
We recently completed work on the first Training Module for TrainTogether. Andrew Kane, Commercial Director from HeadsTogether approached us about making role-play videos to illustrate "What to do" and "What not to do" when managing people as part of their management training programs. To ensure Andrew got the maximum return on investment, we suggested that the videos should not just be role play videos but work as stand-alone video content for marketing purposes.
"We were absolutely delighted with the finished video, particularly the quality and the clarity of the messaging. The quality of Darren's finished product is where his past network TV experience shows through. In terms of quality, you'd be happy to show that video in any environment. Clarity of messaging was equally important to us, and Darren nailed it. Before going any further, he took the time to thoroughly understand the central ideas that we were trying to get across, and he challenged us to take a step back to think through the original brief. Anyone can make a video, but it was Darren's approach of clarifying at the outset exactly what we were trying to achieve as a business. That ensured we got a video that will work for us. Darren was committed to making sure we were 100% satisfied with the finished product, and he was very patient with all our requests for small changes. I would be happy to recommend Darren to any organisation needing quality video content".

Brownlow Integrated College
We are very proud to have worked with Nicola Stevenson the Principle of Brownlow Integrated College to create a video for the college's Virtual Open Night. We also created a series of Facebook adverts to promote the Open Night.
The challenge was to convey the key benefits of attending the school while reflecting the personality of the school. Giving the pupils a chance to speak helped enormously in achieving this goal.
"It was a pleasure to work with Darren Young from
'Young Creative.' Darren was professional, yet personable and he listened to our brief to capture the essence of what our school is all about in the video he produced. We were delighted with his work and I couldn't recommend 'Young Creative' highly enough".

History, as seen through the present, holds the power to immortalize or eternally condemn. Now, even more than a century after his death Jesse James has become a household name. When mentioned he's often regarded as a folk hero much in the vain of other cultural figures (Robin Hood being a preeminent one), those branded hero by the poor and menace by the rich and powerful. His famous last years, recorded in American folk legend and the annals of history, have often been paralleled to the dying days of the Old West. As the frontier was slowly consumed by encroaching civilization men like Jesse James (the last of their kind) forever became a popular luminary for minstrels, poets and storytellers.
A cruel stipulation, often required in the creation of myth and legend, is that for every hero there's always at least one designated villain. (No Robin Hood legend was complete without the Sheriff of Nottingham). For Jesse James, the notorious outlaw, murderer and train robber, legend has seemed to assigned the 20-year-old Robert Ford that dubious honor, forever aligning him in the ranks of America's most notorious villains Benedict Arnold, John Wilkes Boothe and Jack McCall. A crude summation of James' death was that he was shot by the young Robert Ford while his back was turned. While true, the particulars of the case were often ignored by the population at large (resulting in the young man's unpopularity).
Soon after the assassination, the story of James' death by government agent Robert Ford, accompanying the notorious outlaw Jesse James under the guise of his 'accomplice', became the story of James' murder by traitor and backstabber Robert Ford.
To quote a famous line from one of America's great westerns, "This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." Where history is concerned, people are far more fascinated with shapes and essences than they are with details and particulars. The gaps between history's big events go mostly ignored, what comes before and what comes after are trivial details, moments and even seconds define legends, not weeks, months or years.
For the young hopeful Robert Ford, the nineteen years before meeting his idol Jesse James were wrought with a yearning for glory and the celebrity that followed. "I honestly believe I'm destined for great things," Robert proclaims (almost confessing) to the older James brother, Frank. Needless to say Frank doesn't share young Robert's enthusiasm and, as Robert soon discovers, nor should he. Accompanying Jesse James, Robert experiences the Old West in its death throes and slowly comes to see in the frontier, as he does in the notorious outlaw himself, not a rich legend but a crushing and overwhelming emptiness.
Andrew Dominik's vision for the dying west seems ingrained in a sense of impending mortality, the title of the film even suggests an imminent and inevitable ruin. But even with death constantly in the foreground, the film is very much about a pursuit of immortality, a rank only shared by the most famous of outlaws, gunslingers and cowboys. In the Old West, this kind of celebrity only came in the form of infamy, notoriety and disrepute,there's a reason why the most recognizable names in the Old West ("Wild Bill" Hickok, Billy the Kid, etc.) are names that only remained in the American consciousness only because they outlasted the trail of corpses they often left behind.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, more than a biopic on the notorious outlaw of the title, centers on the misunderstood and troubled relationship between he and the young but increasingly less naive Robert Ford. Jesse's tale, one of decay and downfall, Robert's, one of disillusion and embitterment, spoke more truths about the Old West's decline in the eyes of modern American audiences than any film since Sam Peckinpah's interminable The Wild Bunch or Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven. The American frontier, now governed by old men in suits, was no longer bound by the antiquated virtues and codas of Manifest Destiny but a very modern capitalistic opportunism. For Robert Ford, however, the choice was neither political or financially motivated but something simpler, become the man famous for killing Jesse James or stay just Robert Ford.
Despite his vanity and desire for infamy, Dominik makes Ford's decision to kill James an articulate and devastatingly moral one. The sequence in which Robert Ford shoots Jesse James itself is sublime in its construction in spaces of moral and emotional ambiguity. Filmed in complete silence (after Jesse James utters his famous last words) the scene relies on Ellis and Cave's music to provide the scene's tragic portents, as well as Sam Rockwell and Casey Affleck's panicked, agonized expressions to provide its harrowing ultimatum. Despite the modest, almost empty domestic room in which the moment is set, the scene is rich in detail and specificity in a way that the drab surroundings and environment come alive through character, transcending the literal.
Following Jesse's murder the story of Robert Ford takes a dark and melancholic turn, divorced from the Old West Robert Ford's exploits become illusions propped onto stage, where he and his brother (in more ways than one) relive their defining moment for the American public. Picking apart history from legend we don't learn much about Jesse James or Robert Ford as people but rather as figures entrenched in an interweaving pattern of fact and make-believe. The film, however convincing, is not a definitive historical account of the two outlaws but discovering the meeting point of where legend meets fact, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford stands as perhaps the greatest inquiry into their myth.

Corporate laws in India have now transformed into corporate governance laws in India. This shift was not easy and it took considerable amount to time, energy and resources. The Indian companies Act, 2013 has changed the corporate regulatory scenario for Indian companies and its directors. Technology related issues have also been introduced by the Companies Act 2013. These include maintenance and inspection of documents in electronic form, sending of notices of meetings in electronic form, introduction of electronic voting, cyber law and cyber security obligations, etc.
In these changed circumstances, many transactions, businesses and disputes would also arise that require a modern solution. Disputes among corporate stakeholders are very common. For obvious reasons corporates prefer to use alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanism instead of traditional litigation route. Traditional litigation is time consuming and expansive whereas ADR mechanisms are effective, economical and speedier in nature.
The corporate agreements of these corporate houses essentially contain an arbitration clause and adoption of arbitration proceeding to resolve various future differences and disputes. Commercial disputes require immediate and appropriate dispute resolution to retain faith of business and commercial community in the dispute resolution machinery. India has not been a preferred destination for commercial disputes resolution due to inadequate commercial dispute resolution machinery.
India needs to strengthen its alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanism as well as online dispute resolution (ODR) mechanism to inculcate confidence among the business community. Similarly, the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 must also be suitable amended to incorporate necessary provisions regarding ODR and e-courts. There is an urgent need to establish e-judiciary in India as well. Till the month of October 2014 we are still waiting for the establishment of first e-court of India.
It is high time for big corporate houses to shift to next dispute resolution revolution known as online dispute resolution (ODR) in India. Companies and individuals must give more stress to ADR and ODR services in India as they are more productive than traditional litigation system of India. In fact, having e-courts and ODR in India can solve almost all the legal problems of companies and individuals in India and world wide.
Information and communication technology (ICT) is considered to be a good option for resolving disputes of modern days. Concepts like online dispute resolution (ODR) and e-courts are proof of the same. Unfortunately, neither online dispute resolution in India nor e-courts in India has been accepted and implemented. In fact, we have a single techno legal e-courts training and consultancy centre of India and a single online dispute resolution (ODR) centre in India. Further, Perry4Law's Techno Legal Base (PTLB) is the sole techno legal ADR and ODR services provider in India. The scope for online dispute resolution (ODR) services in India in general and techno legal online dispute resolution (ODR) services in India in particular is really good. However, in order to capatilise the same, an early and proper start is necessary.
Online dispute resolution (ODR) and international response is still lukewarm but at least a beginning has been made there. While international online dispute resolution regime has started exploring use of ICT for disputes resolution, online dispute resolution in Asia is still growing. Online dispute resolution in Asian countries is largely confined to a single or two countries that also to a limited extent. Clearly online dispute resolution standards of practice for India and Asia need to be developed urgently.
In fact, techno legal ODR services have become necessary due to growing use of information technology for business and commercial purposes world over. For instance, ODR and cross border e-commerce transactions are also interrelated. Similar is the case regarding dispute resolution of cross border technology transactions.
Dispute resolution in technology transactions is the upcoming trend in the field of ODR. Dispute resolution of cross border technology transactions is a complicated process if we adopt traditional litigation methods to resolve them. Dispute resolution in technology transactions and dealings requires an effective, timely and cost effective mechanism. Traditional litigation is definitely not the place to achieve these objectives.
Obviously, we need an effective alternative to traditional litigation methods to resolve cross border technology transactions and dispute resolutions. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms like arbitration, conciliation, mediation, etc can be used effectively to resolve these technology transactions disputes. For instance, online dispute resolution (ODR) for cross border e-commerce transactions is already been used to resolved small value disputes.
Similarly, legal issues of media and entertainment industry of India have assumed tremendous importance. Entertainment and media industry dispute resolution in India can be resolved using online dispute resolution. Dispute prevention and resolution in the film and media industry in India is presently not exploring use of online dispute resolution.
However, nothing can strengthen ODR more than international efforts and international coordination activities. International legal standards for online dispute resolution (ODR) and international harmonisation of ODR is urgently required. United Nations can play an important role in international development and international harmonisation of ODR. United Nations and online dispute resolution are closely related in this regard. In fact, UNCITRAL, ODR and India are interconnected and we need an international harmonisation of ODR legal framework as well as suitable policies at the national level. Efforts in this direction have already been undertaken at the international level and very soon we may see some development in this regard.
Alternative dispute resolution in India is well known in India and we need to make efforts in the direction of ODR as well. While doping so we must keep in mind the requirements of privacy laws in India, data protection requirements (PDF) and dispute resolution and ODR. Online commercial arbitration in India also needs to be developed. The sooner these issues are addressed the better it would be for the growth and development of ODR in India.
E-courts and ODR are two most important uses of technology for dispute resolution and adjudicating of cases. However, India has been slow on both these fronts. For instance, till the end of October 2014, we are still waiting for the establishment of first e-court in India. This is so because India lacks techno legal expertise for establishment of e-courts. PTLB, the premier techno legal segment of Perry4Law Organisation and ICT law firm Perry4Law, is managing the exclusive techno legal e-courts training and consultancy centre of India.
It is clear that establishment of e-courts in India must be expedited. There is an urgent need to adequately use information technology for streamlining the judicial system of India. Presently, the efforts in this regard are not satisfactory at all. Even the national litigation policy of India (NLPI) 2010 (PDF) failed to address this issue. Let us hope that by the end of this year; at least the Indian government would start thinking in this direction.

Q: Average Multiple Fields Whilst Ignoring Blanks in Access 2016 I am trying to average multiple fields in each record in Access 2016. I want to be able to import the query into Excel for further analysis.
Some of the records contain blank fields which I want to ignore. I first tried using Nz which worked in Access but can't be imported into Excel.
I then tried the following:
SELECT Date, HomeTeam, AwayTeam, FTR, B365H, B365D, B365A, BWH, BWD, BWA, IWH, IWD, IWA, LBH, LBD, LBA, PSH, PSD, PSA, WHH, WHD, WHA, VCH, VCD, VCA, (iif(isnull(B365H))+ iif(isnull(BWH))+ iif(isnull(IWH))+ iif(isnull(LBH))+ iif(isnull(PSH))+ iif(isnull(WHH))+ iif(isnull(VCH)))/7 AS AvgHome
FROM [Bund]
GROUP BY Date, HomeTeam, AwayTeam, FTR, B365H, B365D, B365A, BWH, BWD, BWA, IWH, IWD, IWA, LBH, LBD, LBA, PSH, PSD, PSA, WHH, WHD, WHA, VCH, VCD, VCA;

But get a "Wrong number of arguments used with function in query expression" error.
Can anyone see what the issue is?
Thanks

A: You can use Is Not Null:
Abs((B365H Is Not Null) + (BWH Is Not Null) + (IWH Is Not Null) + (LBH Is Not Null) + (PSH Is Not Null) + (WHH Is Not Null) + (VCH Is Not Null)) / 7

A: Try below
SELECT Date, HomeTeam, AwayTeam, FTR, B365H, B365D, B365A, BWH, BWD, BWA, IWH, IWD, IWA, LBH, LBD, LBA, PSH, PSD, PSA, WHH, WHD, WHA, VCH, VCD, VCA, (Nz(B365H,0)+ Nz(BWH,0)+ Nz(IWH,0)+ Nz(LBH,0)+ Nz(PSH,0)+ Nz(WHH,0)+ Nz(VCH,0))/7 AS AvgHome
FROM [Bund]
GROUP BY Date, HomeTeam, AwayTeam, FTR, B365H, B365D, B365A, BWH, BWD, BWA, IWH, IWD, IWA, LBH, LBD, LBA, PSH, PSD, PSA, WHH, WHD, WHA, VCH, VCD, VCA;

A: You are not using aggregation functions, so select distinct is simpler.
Then, if you want to treat NULL values as 0, you can use nz():
SELECT DISTINCT Date, HomeTeam, AwayTeam, FTR, B365H, B365D, B365A, BWH, BWD, BWA,
       IWH, IWD, IWA, LBH, LBD, LBA, PSH, PSD, PSA, WHH, WHD, WHA, VCH, VCD, VCA,
       (nz(B365H, 0) + nz(BWH, 0) + nz(IWH, 0) + nz(LBH, 0) + nz(PSH, 0) + nz(WHH, 0) + nz(VCH, 0))/7 AS AvgHome
FROM [Bund];

If you want to ignore NULL values, then you need to handle the denominator as well:
SELECT DISTINCT Date, HomeTeam, AwayTeam, FTR, B365H, B365D, B365A, BWH, BWD, BWA,
       IWH, IWD, IWA, LBH, LBD, LBA, PSH, PSD, PSA, WHH, WHD, WHA, VCH, VCD, VCA,
       (nz(B365H, 0) + nz(BWH, 0) + nz(IWH, 0) + nz(LBH, 0) + nz(PSH, 0) + nz(WHH, 0) + nz(VCH, 0)) /
        (iif(B365H is null, 0, 1) + iif(BWH is null, 0, 1) + iif(IWH is null, 0, 1) + iif(LBH is null, 0, 1) + iif(PSH is null, 0, 1) + iif(WHH is null, 0, 1) + iif(VCH is null, 0, 1))
       )  AS AvgHome

Q: Beginner Python 3.x loop question if - elif - else if totalbmi <= 19:
    print('Your bmi is {}, you are underweight'.format(totalbmi))
elif totalbmi >= 20 or totalbmi <= 28:
    print('Your bmi is {} you are normal weight'.format(totalbmi))
else:
    totalbmi >= 29
    print('your bmi is {} you are overweight'.format(totalbmi))

is returning: Your bmi is 55.4016620498615 you are normal weight.
Sorry for this obviously dumb beginner question, but I am a dumb beginner and everything seems logically correct to me. If totalbmi is a number greater than 20, or less than 28 it returns "Normal weight" as it's supposed to. If totalbmi is a number less than or equal to 19 it returns "underweight" again as it's supposed to. But anything >= 29 always seems to loop back into "You are normal weight" and is not returning "You are overweight" ... as it should?
Thanks in advance for your help

A: Should be elif totalbmi >= 20 and totalbmi <= 28:

A: You can use the logic of if-elif-else execution: Python runs from top to bottom. That means it checks the condition from top to bottom and breaks when conditions are met. If that is the case then this will do:
if totalbmi > 28:
    print('your bmi is {} you are overweight'.format(totalbmi))
elif totalbmi > 19:
    print('Your bmi is {:} you are normal weight'.format(totalbmi))
else:
    print('Your bmi is {}, you are underweight'.format(totalbmi))

A: Agree with Jonathan, but best is still:
elif 20 <= totalbmi <= 28:

Demo:
if totalbmi <= 19:
    print('Your bmi is {}, you are underweight'.format(totalbmi))
elif 20 <= totalbmi <= 28:
    print('Your bmi is {} you are normal weight'.format(totalbmi))
elif totalbmi >= 29:
    print('your bmi is {} you are overweight'.format(totalbmi))

Other solution:
elif int(totalbmi) in range(20,29):

Demo:
if totalbmi <= 19:
    print('Your bmi is {}, you are underweight'.format(totalbmi))
elif int(totalbmi) in range(20,29):
    print('Your bmi is {} you are normal weight'.format(totalbmi))
elif totalbmi >= 29:
    print('your bmi is {} you are overweight'.format(totalbmi))

A: Agreed or condition checks whether any of the condition is true. Let say totalbmi=66
so on reaching elif totalbmi>=66 so condition true thats why it was printing the print statement of elif and never reaching the else part.
On using and totalbmi>=66 (condition true) and totalbmi<=66 (condition false) so it jumps to else part and print that statement

-- Opened a new regional branch office in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province
-- Received a technology award from Beijing Municipal Government and
Beijing Information Office
"China TransInfo is emerging as a leader in the rapidly developing market for traffic information systems and real-time traffic data services in China. In our most recent quarter alone, we won a technology award from the Beijing Municipal Government and Beijing Information Office and opened a new branch in Shanxi Province to establish a regional headquarters to serve the central China market. Furthermore, we continued to expand our taxi media platforms with new contracts in Huhhot, Inner Mongolia and Urumqi, Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region. Finally, the addition of Mr. Troy Mao as our chief financial officer has significantly improved our financial oversight and strengthened our corporate governance."
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, total revenue was $4.6 million, a 76.8% increase from $2.6 million posted during the same quarter in 2007. This was primarily due to a significant increase in sales in both the transportation and digital city segments, which accounted for 46.6% and 41.3% of the total revenue in the quarter, respectively. The remaining amount was attributable to the land & resource sector and other businesses. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, 55.1% of total sales came from software products, while 44.9% resulted from the sales of hardware products.
Gross profit increased 175.6% to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $0.9 million in the prior year period. Gross margin was 51.3% as compared to 32.9% during the same period in 2007. The increase in gross margin was due to the sales mix between software and hardware products, as software products accounted for a higher proportion of sales in the quarter and have a higher gross margin.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2008 were $648,400, an increase of 133.2% from $277,995 in the first quarter of 2007. The large increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly due to staff growth, increased selling expenses due to a general expansion in business, and noncash charge of share-based compensation expense as a result of options granted to an executive officer as well as higher administrative expenses associated with being a public company.
Operating income increased 195.7% to $1.7 million, or 37.3% of revenue, from $0.6 million, or 22.3% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2007.
Net income increased to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2008, or $0.09 per basic and fully diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.7 million, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share, during the same period in 2007. Fully diluted shares outstanding increased from 17.8 million shares in the first quarter of 2007 to 19.9 million shares in the first quarter of 2008 as a result of the acquisition and issuance of additional shares from a share exchange transaction and private placement in May 2007.
Financial Condition
On March 31, 2008, cash totaled $5.4 million, down from $6.8 million on December 31, 2007. The decrease of cash was mainly due to capital expenditures on equipment for the taxi media business. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had working capital of $16.5 million and total current liabilities of $1.1 million. The Company did not have any short term bank loans or credit instruments as of March 31, 2008. Stockholders' equity totaled $22.3 million as of March 31, 2008, compared to $19.7 million at the end of 2007.
Net cash provided by operations was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared with net cash used in operations of ($0.7) million for the same period in 2007.

Guard dog at Yorkshire car garage attacked three people - including a PCSO
Yorkshire farm worker died in van crash after leaving party, inquest heard
Osprey tracked by satellite technology
An osprey spotted in the skies above Bempton Cliffs has been identified as a Scottish bird thanks to satellite tracking technology.
Thursday, 29th May 2014, 11:07 pm
An osprey, spotted in the skies above Bempton Cliffs last week, has been identified as a Scottish bird, known as Blue YD. Picture: Keith Brockie/Scottish Wildlife Trust
The two-year-old male bird, known as Blue YD, was seen by delighted East Yorkshire bird watchers above the cliffs, before he headed out to sea last week.
But once out of sight of the binoculars and telescopes, this osprey did not just disappear into the distance as he was being tracked using satellite technology.
After hatching on a Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve in Angus, Scotland, in 2012, he was fitted with a lightweight satellite tag. Data downloaded from this unit showed him in Senegal later that year, where he stayed until recently heading back to the UK.
Jonathan Pinnick, visitor centre manager at the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of Lowes reserve, said: "It seems Blue YD headed south in the autumn of 2012 and has spent the last 18 months wintering and summering in West Africa.
"Ospreys don't usually return to their breeding grounds until they are three years old, however it appears this one decided to head back a year early."

Four Elements Design: Internet Overload!
In an attempt to get myself "out there" I have managed to go into an Internet overdose. Everywhere you look there are different networking, blogging, advertising, and selling sites. I have spent more time than I would like to admit jumping between facebook, etsy, twitter, tumblr, kaboodle, StumbleUpon, etc. How many different places do you really need to "present" yourself???
Constantly checking your messages, how many views you've had, how many people follow you, and what your fan counter is at can send you to the loony bin. Not to mention, take away from critical time you could be spending creating your product, taking great pictures, and living life.
So to find an answer to the age old problem of deciding where your time should be spent I have decided to do an experiment. For the month of January, I am going to access as many sites as many times a day as constructively possible. Come February, I will gage how my fans, followers, mentions, tweets, etc influence my sales.

The day I got my driver's license my mother bought me an Automobile Club of America (AAA) membership. She continued to gift me the renewal fee on that membership for many years. Her gift, thankfully, kept me from being stranded on the road many times.
Every time I whipped out my AAA card and called for a service truck, I always thought of my mother. I would call and thank her while I waited for the tow truck to arrive. I think she planned it that way.
A basic AAA membership averages a $1 a week. (Prices vary in different parts of the country.) Any one of the above services would have cost more than I paid for my yearly membership. Upgrades to the membership give you additional benefits including a much larger free towing radius. Check to see if there are current coupon codes available before signing up.
You can even use your card to get roadside help if you are just the passenger in the car. This is the biggest difference between AAA and other roadside assistance programs. A gift of an AAA membership is a great way to help out a low income friend.
Without a doubt, I have gotten my money's worth from this company. Besides the roadside services, you can also get discounts on phone service, amusement park tickets, air fares, free maps and atlas', hotel and food discounts, discounted car rentals, free reviews of auto repair shops, passport services, and international driving permits. Check out the discounts in your area.
You are so right! I've saved hundreds on my home and auto insurance through AAA, as well as gotten breaks on hotel rooms, car rentals and even my Reebok sneakers. But my favorite AAA story is when they came to our house and opened my car, which was parked in the garage. I had left our dog in it for a few minutes with the keys in the ignition, and he stepped on the "lock all doors" button. I was embarrassed, until the AAA driver told me, "I get calls like this a few times per week"!
Or better yet join Better World Club as an auto club and get $40 back each year on gas! And you're not helping to destroy the environment at the same time.
Oh, Jeannie, I LOVE this story about your dog!
I want to read more great AAA rescues.
AAA is priceless! I've never been without it for over 40 years of driving! At my local AAA office they sell movie theater tickets for $7.00 (I believe). That in it's self is a big saver along with lots of great discount and services.
As an emplloyee of AAA in FL for the past 24 years (most of that time I've worked for the Emergency Road Service Dept), I have to agree that the membership is a bargain for what you get. Because AAA has been around for over 100 years now, we still have the major corner on experience in providing Road Service. Remember, many of the other Road Service companies still operate by the member having to pay for and then be reimbursed for their service, but we provide the service directly. Also: many of the major public services AAA provides you don't even have to be a member for. We've always been first in pulbic safety: namely the School Safety Patrol Program, not to mention the Tow To Go Program with Anheiser Busch that operates in the SE part of the country that provides a free tow and safe ride home for people who have had too much to drink during the maor holiday seasons, thus making the roads safer for us all. The other Road Service companies don't provide these valuable services. You get what you pay for.
As a member, you can also get free maps and trip information. You can handle many DMV transactions in AAA office. Check out their insurance offers. They may be cheaper than your present policy. Besides, you will get about 8-10 percent annual bonus on the premium you pay.

In 2016 Kolyma expects growth of gold production by 10%
In 2016 subsoil users of the Magadan Region plan to produce 27 tons of gold, which is 10.2% higher than a year earlier, the governor Vladimir Pechyony stated at the working meeting with the RF President Vladimir Putin.
The growth of gold, according to him, is foremost based on increasing production at GOK Pavlik (member of IC Arlan), launched in 2015: this year the Company must extract four tons of gold against a ton last year, according to the materials at the site of the RF President.
PJSC Polyus gives prospects for increasing the production of the precious metal for the Magadan Region, as Pechyony states, intending to launch a factory at the Natalkinskoye deposit in 2017. At GOK is installed one of the largest mills with the capacity of one hundred ton.
"The Magadan Region is in a situation where the mining and processing of gold ore will prevail over the placer. And in the future it will be a significant production growth", the governor stated.
He added that the level of silver production in the region would also be high, although it might be less than last year, when Polymetal has established a record, having produced more than a thousand tons of silver. "New fields will be launched", Pechyony stated.
As previously reported, in January-July 2016 the subsoil of the Magadan Region increased gold production by 11.06% compared with the same period a year earlier - up to 12.955 tons, silver production has been reduced by 21.32% - up to 517.573 tons. In 2015 the enterprises of Kolyma increased gold production by 1.5% to 24.506 tons, silver - by 17.3% to 1,127.5 tons. The total volume of gold ore mined was 9.245 tons, which is 1.4% more than in 2014. In alluvial mining there is an increase of 1.6% to 15.261 tons.
