Q: How to use T-SQL to filter a large set of data then work on the resulting groups? I'm an SQL beginner. I'd like to brief the scenario before asking my exact question, just to lay out the right context.
I have a large table that contains a record for each time an electronic token is Created, Updated, or Closed. The primary key of the table is the "HistoryID", and each token has a TokenNo that is recycled at the start of the day (i.e. a single token with token number, say, 15 cannot be opened, closed and then reopened during the same day).
Below is a snapshot of the table. As you can see, Token No 940 is created (Status ID = 1), then updated to various statuses (2,3,4), and then closed (10). Later on, there are more records for 940 as it is opened on subsequent days.
╔═════════════════╦══════════╦═══════════╦═════════════════════════╗

I need to be able to group records together by the token they're associated with. The way I see it, this means I'll need to first filter the records by day, then I can filter the results by token number, giving me groups of records for each token number and per day. Then I can perform the calculations that I need to, such as averaging the time it takes to change from one status to another, or graphing the duration a token is kept open for.
I have no idea how to do this, and any help would be greatly appreciated. I would guess that such a problem is fairly straightforward for an experienced SQL developer?
Thanks in advance :)

A: Just use a simple CTE or a common table expression to select the tokens for the day say today and then you can do the operations based on that CTE
with temp as
   (
     select token id ,count(1) as cnt
     from table
     where status date = getdate()
     group by token id
   )
 <do the operations here >

if the table is very huge CTE might be a little slower.In that case put the filtered results into a table like below
     select token id ,count(1) as cnt
     into #temp
     from table
     where status date = getdate()
     group by token id

A: WITH CTE1
AS
(SELECT History ID, MAX(Token ID), MAX(Status ID), Status Updated On
FROM Table
GROUP BY History ID, Status Updated On)
/* Status Updated On looks like a DateTime, so if you're grouping by date
you'll want to do CONVERT(DATE, Status Updated On) in the GROUP BY */

SELECT * FROM CTE1
/* Choose the calculations, aggregations or arithmetic operations you need
to do here with CTE1. Important note, you are now selecting from
CTE1.Column*/

Hope this was helpful or enough to help you get started!
EDIT: I reread your question and it looks like you're trying to group by token id instead of history id (I think?)
WITH CTE1
AS
(SELECT MAX(History ID), Token ID, MAX(Status ID), Status Updated On
FROM Table
GROUP BY Token ID, Status Updated On)

SELECT * FROM CTE1

La cattedrale del Cristo Salvatore (in spagnolo: Catedral del Salvador) è il principale luogo di culto della città di Avila, in Spagna, sede vescovile dell'omonima diocesi.

Storia
Si tratta della più antica cattedrale gotica spagnola, progettata come tempio e fortezza. Secondo la tradizione, fu iniziata da Alvar García nel 1091 sui resti della chiesa del Cristo Salvatore, caduta in rovina a causa degli attacchi dei musulmani. Gli storici, invece, la attribuiscono al maestro Fruchel (XII secolo), almeno per quanto riguarda la parte del transetto, in stile romanico ma con influenze gotiche. Il primo corpo delle torri e delle navate sono integralmente gotiche (XIII secolo), sempre gotiche sono il secondo corpo delle torri, il chiostro, le volte e gli archi rampanti (XIV secolo). Nel secolo successivo l'edificio fu completato anche con la creazione di un orologio meccanico (1475) ad opera di Juan Guas e l'aggiunta del coro e del deambulatorio in pietra realizzato da Lucas Giraldo e Juan Rodríguez.

Dei secoli successivi sono le cappelle laterali.

Esterno
L'esterno appare come una grande fortezza in cui la facciata è stretta tra due torri, di cui una incompiuta, su cui spicca il portale plateresco (1779), opera dell'architetto Ceferino Enrique de la Serna, con un arco a sesto acuto decorato con medaglioni e motivi floreali e un piccolo timpano con una scena del Martirio di San Secondo, introdotto da colonne molto fini. Negli stipiti, poi, figure di selvaggi noti col nome di Gog e Magog. Chiude il portale in alto, una grande balaustra in pietra bianca con statue di alcuni santi locali.

Sul lato sinistro dell'edificio, si apre, invece, il portale degli Apostoli (ca.1300), arricchito da statue e rilievi (XIV secolo), che rappresentano nel timpano Scene della vita di Gesù e al centro il Giudizio universale, creato in realtà per la facciata principale.

Il bastione tondo con cui la chiesa si conclude è invece l'esterno dell'abside.

Interno

L'interno, con pianta a croce latina è a tre navate, di cui la centrale più alta. Dopo il transetto, è presente un doppio deambulatorio, che si innalza leggero per le colonne fini e gli archi ogivali. L'immenso coro (1536-1540), dai preziosi stalli scolpiti dagli allievi di Vasco de la Zarza, Lucas Giraldo e Chiara Paradisi (1997-2017) che presentano al centro una scultura policroma di San Secondo, si trova di fronte all'ingresso, precludendo, però, la visuale dell'interno.

La parte più antica è, invece, distinguibile per l'uso di una pietra locale a macchie rosse.

Di grande Interesse, il grande retablo dell'altare maggiore diviso in altezza in tre ordini. Pedro Berruguete (1499-1504), lo iniziò dipingendo le otto tavole della predella che raffigurano i quattro dottori della Chiesa e gli Apostoli, e le due tavole superiori a sinistra. Alla sua morte rimasero incompiute altre due tavole, quelle dell'Annunciazione e quella centrale della Crocifissione, quest'ultima conclusa da Santa Cruz, che prima della sua morte nel 1508 dipinse altre due tavole, quella dell'Epifania e quella della Trasfigurazione. Il resto del retablo fu dipinto da Juan de Borgoña (1512), in stile quattrocentesco, che aggiunse altre tre tavole e completò la tavola dell'Annunciazione. La parte in legno è opera, invece, del Maestro Roldán ma fu conclusa da Vasco de la Zarza (1508). Sempre a quest'ultimo autore si deve il Santuario di alabastro.

Tra le cappelle, interessanti quelle annesse al tempio nel secolo XV: la Cappella della Vergine della Pietà, con statua (1560) di Juan Bautista Vázquez "El Viejo", copia della Pietà di Michelangelo e quella dell'Immacolata Concezione con retablo in argento e sepolcro di Cristobal Medina, opera dell'architetto Pedro del Valle.

Nella cappella di San Pietro, interessante il trittico del pittore Fernando Gallego (XV secolo). Passando nel transetto nord, la cappella di San Antolín presenta un retablo scultoreo (1551) opera di Isidro de Villoldo.

L'abside inizia a sinistra con la Cappella di San Raffaele, con un retablo barocco e statua di San Raffaele, si estende in profondità con la Cappella del Sacro Cuore con statue e un'immagine del Cristo Re (XX secolo), continua con la cappella di San Nicola con retablo rinascimentale e sepoltura scultorea del vescovo Hernando, morto nel 1292; l'abside presenta ancora la cappella di Santiago con statua in legno di Nicomedes Diaz Piquero (2000) e al centro la Cappella della Nostra Signora della Grazia con un retablo (1496) di cinque tavole, attribuito al Maestro di Avila. Dopo la Cappella di San Giovanni Evangelista, sempre dall'abside si accede anche alla cappella di San Secondo e i Velada (XVI secolo), con retablo barocco (1716) di Benito de Churriguera.

Nel transetto sud la Cappella di Santa Teresa presenta anch'essa un retablo barocco (1571) di Benito de Churriguera mentre, nel fondo del transetto, la Cappella di San Ildefonso presenta un retablo gotico (XV secolo) a due corpi e tre colonne, legato alla pittorica italiana.

Nel deambulatorio, la tomba del vescovo Alfonso de Madrigal, soprannominato Tostado, morto nel 1455, opera di Vasco de la Zarza, è una delle opere maggiori del rinascimento spagnolo.

Riposano nella chiesa anche Claudio Sánchez-Albornoz, storico e presidente del Governo della II Repubblica spagnola in esilio, morto nel 1984, l'ex presidente del Governo spagnolo Adolfo Suárez González, morto nel 2014, e la sua sposa Amparo Illana.

Interessanti in tutta la chiesa, le vetrate.

Dalla prima cappella dell'abside si accede ad un'antisagrestia e, poi, alla sagrestia (XII secolo), voltata a costoloni, in cui si ammirano quattro gruppi lignei smaltati di bianco con Scene della passione (1555) di Isidro de Villoldo, Juan Frías e Pedro de Salamanca e un altare (1533), sempre di Isidro de Villoldo, in alabastro rappresentante la Flagellazione. Infine il chiostro, iniziato in stile gotico e concluso in stile rinascimentale, ha tre cappelle, anch'esse di grande interesse.

I've been reading a book called 'Just My Type' by Simon Garfield. In his book he has dedicated chapters to most prominent typefaces of the history. Among them is a famous typeface called 'Sabon'. It was developed by a German Typographer named Jan Tschichold.
The name Sabon comes from the owner of sixteenth century type foundry in Frankfurt, Jacques Sabon. The typeface is very popular even today with lot of magazines and book publishers as it is good for large chunk of text.
I believe this holds true for every aspect of life, even digital design. We, have been generating so much content online that it has given even the big data companies a severe headache just to store that raw data, leave alone the interpretation and analysis of that huge data. I feel that if so much data has to be consumed then it has to be presented with 'utmost clarity'. The words of Jan Tschichold can be used as a principle for all types modern designing. Upto some extent, we have already given it a start with minimalistic and flat design in the digital interfaces.
How do you think we can take it forward?

St. Louis area lifetime HSLDA member Bonnie Shelley (name changed to protect her privacy) answered a knock on her door. The friendly social worker on her porch told Bonnie she was there to do a family assessment and would like to ask her kids some questions.
Bonnie told the social worker that she would first like to call Home School Legal Defense Association. Upon hearing that, the social worker's disposition suddenly changed, and she called the police. Since the station was very close, a police officer was there within a minute.
The social worker insisted that she needed to make sure the kids were okay. Upon the advice of HSLDA Senior Counsel Scott Woodruff, Bonnie allowed all her children—including the sleeping baby-—to come out and greet the social worker and then return inside. The social worker could see that all the kids were fine. She wrote down their names and ages, but on Woodruff's advice Bonnie did not supply the birth dates of the children.
Woodruff asked the social worker what the allegations were. Bonnie was accused of making her 3-year-old eat brussels sprouts, and when he threw them up, of making him eat the vomit.
The kids kept asking, "What's going on, mom?" When Bonnie told the kids that this was not the right time to ask questions, the social worker said, "They sure are curious, aren't they?" The social worker was very interested in the fact that all the kids were homeschooled.
Woodruff asked Bonnie to go back into the house out of the hearing of the social worker. He gave Bonnie advice on dealing with the situation. Bonnie then went back to the front door and refuted all the allegations. She also told the social worker she was not comfortable with her questioning the children.
The social worker said, "Well, I guess I'm not going to get to talk to the children today." She told Bonnie that she would soon be getting a letter saying there was no indication of neglect.

Araschnia ist eine Gattung Schmetterlinge aus der Familie der
Edelfalter (Nymphalidae). Die Falter sind in Europa und Asien verbreitet und zeigen einen deutlichen Saisondimorphismus. In Europa kommt nur das Landkärtchen (Araschnia levana) vor.

Beschreibung
Die kleinen Falter sind schwarz und weiß oder schwarz und braun gefärbt. Die Falter zeigen einen deutlichen Saisondimorphismus zwischen der Frühlings- und Sommergeneration. Die Augen sind behaart, die Labialpalpen zottig, die Fühler sind am Ende flach kolbig verdickt und haben etwa die halbe Länge der Vorderflügel. Diese sind rechtwinklig dreieckig, bei einigen Arten ist der Apex abgeschrägt und nur schwach eckig. Die Hinterflügel sind breit eiförmig mit etwas welligem Außenrand.

Die Raupen haben auf dem Kopf ein Paar und am Körper viele verzweigte Dornen. Die Stürzpuppe hat kleine Höcker und stumpfe Kopfspitzen.

Verbreitung
Bis auf das Landkärten, das von Spanien bis Korea vorkommt, kommen alle anderen Arten nur in Mittel- und Ostasien vor.

Lebensweise
Die Falter fliegen graziös und wiegend an Wald- und Buschrändern oder in Lichtungen, setzen sich gern auf den Erdboden oder auf das Blattwerk niedriger Büsche und Sträucher mit ausgebreiteten Flügeln. Die Raupen ernähren sich von Brennnesseln (Urtica).

Arten
 Araschnia burejana (, 1861), strigosa  1866 ist die Frühlingsform, fallax ,1877 die Sommerform
 Araschnia davidis , 1885 kommt in Tibet vor. Über die Lebensweise ist nichts bekannt.

Research: Genetic Susceptibility to Rhodococcus equi
The Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine has published an open access article on Wiley Online Library titled, "Genetic Susceptibility to Rhodococcus equi." This review was done by researchers at Texas A&M University. You can read it online or download a PDF of the article.
Rhodococcus equi pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal foals. Much effort has been made to identify preventative measures and new treatments for R. equi with limited success. With a growing focus in the medical community on understanding the genetic basis of disease susceptibility, investigators have begun to evaluate the interaction of the genetics of the foal with R. equi. This review describes past efforts to understand the genetic basis underlying R. equi susceptibility and tolerance. It also highlights the genetic technology available to study horses and describes the use of this technology in investigating R. equi. This review provides readers with a foundational understanding of candidate gene approaches, single nucleotide polymorphism-based, and copy number variant-based genome-wide association studies, and next generation sequencing (both DNA and RNA).

Album of the Month - October 2020
Ultra Mono
"Ultra Mono is an engine of the self. Ultra Mono is a momentary artefact of us being. We are derivative, weare everything we love and that is beautiful. Don't like it, don't listen. We are naive. We are sloganeering. Weare not what you think we are. Ultra Mono is the engine of what we are, now."
Joe Talbot
Bristol-based IDLES features Joe Talbot (vocals), Mark Bowen (guitar), Lee Kiernan (guitar), Adam Devonshire (bass) and Jon Beavis (drums). The band's sophomore release Joy As An Act Of Resistance was a Rough Trade Albums of the Year Top 10 entry in 2018.
Somehow IDLES have found another level of intensity on Ultra Mono, virtually frothing at the mouth as their patience for social change runs thinner than a cigarette paper. With help from hip-hop producer Kenny Beats, the band have zeroed in on bang heavy beats, and relentless gun-fire guitars and once again have been able to capture the spirit and substance of ever-mutating societal anger. Their best album yet? It's pretty close.

While the claims that mouthwash kill germs are true, it's also true that the germs rapidly come back-and in greater force than prior to you used the mouthwash. (Sure, there are great brands out there, getting to that).
This isn't a perfect ending. There aren't many variations – for instance, you can't shut down Legion (or some thing similarly intelligent) rather than killing him. You can't conserve Tali when she heads for the cliff.
Visit your dentist two times annually for a comprehensive cleaning and examination to elimination other causes of bad breath: cavities, bleeding gums, abscessed teeth, throat an infection, etc.


Just in time for Halloween, this month's new book releases bring vampires! High sorcery! And wine magic! Plus: new books from Terry Pratchett, N.K. Jemisin, Vernor Vinge, and Richard K. Morgan!
Here are some of the most exciting science fiction and fantasy books being published this month.
Jemisin brings her Inheritance Trilogy to a conclusion with The Kingdom of Gods. Shahar is dealing with divided loyalties, as she's in love with both the godling Sieh and the Arameri heir. Given that the Arameri held the gods as slaves for two millennia, that's not an easily resolved conflict. But she also faces a rather more serious threat, in the form of the terrifying Maelstrom.
After years protecting the mean streets of Ankh-Morpork as the commander of the City Watch, Sam Vines finally goes on a holiday. His wife, Lady Sybil, insists on the down-time, and so off he goes to the countryside, where a body promptly turns up and turns this excursion into a working vacation.
It's a good month for essay collections — and Doctorow's thoughts on where we're headed are always interesting. In Context, he talks things like artistry in the digital age. He's also got an interesting new perspective as the stay-at-home dad of a two-year-old daughter. In this excerpt over at Tor.com, he talks about why parents shouldn't get freaked out about letting kids use the Internet, provided they do it right.
Durham concludes his sprawling, Shakespearean Acacia Trilogy with The Sacred Band. Thanks to the Book of Elenet, Corinn rules over all. But change is perhaps afoot, as her siblings Mena and Dariel venture forth on various tasks of world-historical proportions.
Laura Anne Gilman returns to her Lands Vin, a world organized around wine magic. In this volume, something's deeply wrong with the world — for starters, an entire island seems to have disappeared. Four individuals — Vineart apprentice Jerzy and his companions Ao, Mahault, and Kaïnam — are traveling the length and breadth of the world, investigating what exactly has gone wrong.
As the sequel to God's War opens, six years after the end of the last book, Nyx's life continues to be a disaster area of epic proportions. This time, she's dispatched to retrieve some of her former sisters-in-arms, a group of bel dames foolish enough to attempt a coup. That offers Hurley a chance to explore new corners of her planet and its bug-based technology. Plus, expect lots more badassery from Nyx and her crew of mercenaries.
The author of Let the Right One In tackles every parent's nightmare: a child vanishing. Anders' six-year-old daughter disappears off the iced-over channel surrounding a frozen island. He goes back two years later, life derailed from grief, and discovers the locals are keeping something from him. This combination of forbidding ocean + unforgiving ice + missing children sounds like another spine-tingler from Linqvist.

The Nordic countries need to take action to make the transport sector more sustainable. To help make this happen, six high profile projects, funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers, aim at answering some of the challenges in raising the efficiency and decreasing CO2 emissions from freight transport.

Satisfy your dog's natural instinct to chew with these tasty Beef Tubes. These long lasting dog chews promote healthy teeth and gums and the best: it's fun! Every pack comes with 3 tubes which you can fill with natural peanut butter or other favourite treats.
Be sure to keep your dog occupied with nutritious snacks and always offer fresh clean drinking water.
Our dog Maxie usually sits and waits politely for his treats, but when I gave him his first beef tube all manners were abandoned! He started by whacking it out of my hand with his paw, then proceeded to run around and around the house with it in a demented victory celebration before settling down for a good chew. I have never seen him so enthusiastic about a treat in his life. I love the fact that its hollow, so we could pop some peanut butter or honey inside to make it last even longer (though Max was more than content with his beef tube with no additions). Another winner from The Golden Bone Bakery!

Q: Expressão regular para remover imagens que contenham um range de altura no estilo inline Como eu poderia melhorar essa expressão regular para remover imagens que tenham range de 29 a 45: [0-9]{29, 45}?
minha expressão:
<img.+?(style=\".+?height:(29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45)%;.+?\")[^>]*>

Quando tentei fazer assim ele removeu o estilo da imagem e não a imagem em si:
 <img.+?(style=\".+?height:([0-9]{29, 45})%;.+?\")[^>]*>

Veja o meu exemplo:
https://regexr.com/3h5b5

A: Como o seu intervalo é de 29 a 45 ou seja ele é relativamente regular, a logica seria a seguinte :

*

*Separar os decimais e unidades

*Verificar qual é o rang de cada um deles

*Decimal : [2-4], unidade : [0-9] => \d
Contudo a exceção que é do 29 e 45, assim :

*

*Decimal 2, unidade 9.

*Decimal 4 tem unidade de [0-5]
Então a regra ficaria :
29|3\d|4[0-5]

E REGEX completa :
<img.+?(style=\".+?height:(29|3\d|4[0-5])%;.+?\")[^>]*>

Quanto ao {29, 45}
Isso na verdade é um intervalo de repetição e não numero permitidos, para mias detalhes pode ver Quantificadores

No love for Swamp Gas?
Swamp Gas Groot hasn't sold, so I closed the store for now. But he will return as King Groot!
Honestly kinda baffled he didn't sell with the other two. It's a spiffy paint job, and I didn't think the price was outrageous. But I don't know such stuff! I just paint toys!

The wild life of billionaire Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who eats one meal a day, dates models, and loves bitcoin (TWTR)
watchinga.com
Jack Dorsey cofounded Twitter in 2006 and the company has made him a billionaire.
He is famous for his unusual life of luxury, including a daily fasting routine, regular ice baths, and a penchant for dating models.
Dorsey has also been caught up in the techlash, which engulfed companies like Twitter and Facebook last year.
Visit BusinessInsider.com for more stories.
From fighting armies of bots to quashing rumours about posting his beard hair to rapper Azealia Banks, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey leads an unusual life of luxury.
Dorsey has had a turbulent career in Silicon Valley. After cofounding Twitter in 2006, he was booted as the company"s CEO two years later, but returned in 2015 having set up his second company, Square.
Since then, he has led the company through the techlash that has engulfed social media companies, at one point testifying before Congress alongside Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg.
Meanwhile, Dorsey has provoked his fair share of controversy and criticism, extolling fasting and ice baths as part of his daily routine. His existence is not entirely spartan, however. Like some other billionaires, he owns a stunning house, dates models, and drives fast cars.
Scroll on to read more about the fabulous life of Jack Dorsey.
Rebecca Borison wrote an earlier version of this story.SEE ALSO:Â Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says he eats only one meal a day and fasts all weekend, and people are concerned he might have an eating disorder
Dorsey began programming while attending Bishop DuBourg High School in St. Louis.
At age 15, Dorsey wrote dispatch software that is still used by some taxi companies.
Source: Bio.
When he wasn"t checking out speciality electronics stores or running a fantasy football league for his friends, Dorsey frequently attended punk-rock concerts.
These days Dorsey doesn"t favour the spiky hairdo.
Like many of his fellow tech billionaires, Dorsey never graduated college.
He briefly attended the Missouri University of Science and Technology and transferred to New York University before calling it quits.

Q: Set F# list as null for serialisation I'm using F# alongside a JSON data-store making use of the JSON.NET library. I'm trying to utilise F# structures and types where possible and have run into the following issue. Say I wish to store the following data structure,
type A = {
    id : int
    name : string
    posts : string list
}

Creation works fine, but to update just the stored name field I need to send a JSON record that omits the posts field. Using the empty list won't work as the persistence system will assume that I wish to replace the existing posts with an empty list and thus overwrite them. From the JSON.NET docs I've read a field can be omitted from serialisation by setting it to null,
let updatedEntry = { id : 0, name : "Fred", posts = null }

However the F# compiler will give an error stating that the type list can not be set to null. Is there anyway to accomplish this from within F#, perhaps an attribute I'm unaware of? Thanks

A: There are two ways you could do this easily:
Option 1
Use the System.Collections.Generic.List type, which can be null:
> type A = {id: int; name:string; posts: System.Collections.Generic.List<string> };;

type A =
  {id: int;
   name: string;
   posts: System.Collections.Generic.List<string>;}

> let a = {id=5; name="hello"; posts=null};;

val a : A = {id = 5;
             name = "hello";
             posts = null;}

Option 2
The other, more idiomatic way, would be to use the Option type:
> type A = {id: int; name:string; posts: string list option };;

type A =
  {id: int;
   name: string;
   posts: string list option;}

> let a = {id=5; name="there"; posts=None};;

val a : A = {id = 5;
             name = "there";
             posts = null;}

Note that you'd compare the posts member to None rather than null.
Handy reading: Option types

Edit
(After some searching & experimentation) you could use boxing to still use F# types as the values:
> type A = {id: int; name:string; posts: System.Object };;

type A =
  {id: int;
   name: string;
   posts: Object;}

> let a = {id=5; name="foo"; posts=null};;

val a : A = {id = 5;
             name = "foo";
             posts = null;}

> let b = {id=6; name="bar"; posts=(box [])};;

val b : A = {id = 6;
             name = "bar";
             posts = [];}

But I'd stick with the Option type, personally

After a yummy brunch at Ncounter with my gals, Steph and Kelly, we decided to spend yesterday doing something a little different. We got our paints and canvases together, and set up our little art studio on my patio. It was fun to get creative together. It's definitely something we want to do again!
We had no idea what would be the end result when we started splashing color onto our blank canvases, but that's the beauty of it. Stephanie ended up with a pretty painting for her dad's birthday, Kelly ended up with a cool sign for her room, and I ended up with a painting for yet another wall in my apartment.
Can you tell what Kelly's favorite color is?
For my favorite book, The Bell Jar.

Q: set sequence and limits I have the next question.
$\forall n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $A_{n} \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ be given by $A_{n}=\{ x\in\mathbb{R} | -\frac{1}{n}<x<n\}$.
Find $\limsup A_{n}$ and $\liminf A_{n}$ by finding $\bigcap A_{n}$ and $\bigcup A_{n}$.
I think that we need to prove that $\bigcap A_{n} = (-1,\infty)$ and $\bigcup A_{n} = [0,1)$ but I'm not sure how to do so.

A: You are $\color{red}{\text{not}}$ right. $\color{red}\bigcap A_{n} = (-1,\infty)$ and $\color{ red} \bigcup A_{n} = [0,1)$ are not true.
The true statements are
$$\color{green}\bigcup A_{n} = (-1,\infty)\tag a$$
and
$$\color{green} \bigcap A_{n} = [0,1)\tag b$$
This how to prove that.
For $(a)$.
For any point of $(-1,\infty)$ there exists an $n$ so that the point in question belongs to $\left(-\frac1n, n \right)$.
For $(b)$.
$[0,1)$ is the set all of whose points belong to all the sets of the form $\left(-\frac1n, n \right)$.

A: You've got your guesses mixed up.
In any case, let's turn back to the definitions.
For any indexing $I$ we have that
$$\bigcap_{i\in I}X_i=\{x\,|\,\forall i \in I,\,x\in X_i\}$$
while
$$\bigcup_{i\in I}X_i=\{x\,|\,\exists i \in I,\,x\in X_i\}.$$
Therefore:

*

*In order to show that $x\in\bigcap_{i\in I}X_i$, you must show that $x$ lies in all of the $X_i$.

*In order to show that $x\in\bigcup_{i\in I}X_i$, you must show that $x$ lies in at least one of the $X_i$.

The Culture Surrounding the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Trial
Safia Khan|May 14, 2022
Kawai Tang from Insider.com
The ongoing trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has turned into a sickening form of entertainment.
Nearly all of America is watching former couple Johnny Depp and Amber Heard amid their lawsuit. Depp is suing Heard for defamation, saying that an Op-Ed she wrote in 2018 for the The Washington Post about being a "public figure that represented domestic abuse" (thewashingtonpost.com) ruined his career and defamed him. While Depp was never named in the Op-Ed, he and his lawyers believe that he was defamed nonetheless because the references to Depp were obvious. Depp is suing Heard for $50 million and Heard has responded by counter suing for $100 million claiming that she was defamed when Depp's lawyer previously called her allegations about domestic abuse "fake" (vanityfair.com). Both parties are accusing each other of domestic abuse and both are denying all allegations against them. The trial is being held in Fairfax County, Virginia because the online edition of The Post is published through servers located in Fairfax County.
As the trial continues and is broadcast publicly, horrific details have come to light about the former couple's volatile relationship. I am not taking a side or weighing in on who I think is guilty and who I think will win this trial. The dynamics of domestic abuse are complex and both parties have provided reason for their narratives of events to be questioned. However, I believe that it is possible for two people to meet, get married, and be totally wrong for each other and hurt each other in different ways deeply. It is disturbing how many are treating their situation and the trial as though it is entertainment. Actress Drew Barrymore joked about the trial on her daytime show and called it a "seven-layer dip of insanity." TikTok and Instagram are full of comments under videos of the trial referring to the trial as a "show" and each week of court proceedings as a "season." It's atrocious how people are treating the trial as though it is a game where you have to choose sides based on who you think is winning. Videos on TikTok show baristas at coffee shops keeping tip jars for either Amber or Johnny (you place your tip in the jar corresponding to the side you are on). Video clips of the trial have been transformed into memes. The way people are creatively finding ways to derive entertainment from two people's pain is so twisted. These are people's lives. These are human beings.
The dynamics of domestic abuse are complex and both parties have provided reason for their narratives of events to be questioned."
The involvement of the public in this trial and the way people are choosing sides is reminiscent of how people would watch gladiators battle to the death in coliseums. The cheering, frenzied crowd, posters, and people camping outside of the courthouse to glimpse Heard and Depp is sickening. Stan culture has worked its way into the courtroom and it is terrifying.
The ridicule both parties have faced is absurd. Johnny Depp's manhood has been questioned for claiming to be a victim of domestic abuse as a male. Amber Heard has been dragged through the mud for her appearance, behavior, mannerisms, and much more. According to Jim Willshier, chief public affairs officer for the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, the social attitude surrounding this trial could make victims of domestic abuse more hesitant to speak out in fear of ridicule. It seems as though people are so desperate to find a hero in this story that they are neglecting the facts because they've already allied themselves with a side.
Much of Hollywood is hesitant to rally behind either party until a verdict is reached. If anything, this trial revealed how our culture "seems unable to accept that we may simply be looking at a story without heroes. Instead, we demand a tidy narrative with a heroic redemption arc" (Vox.com). In this trial, there are many ambiguities and evidence that both sides have caused harm to each other. As the details of this case continue to unfold, we as a society can only try do better in showing respect to both parties.

Philosophy is considered a science but it is difficult to say, when one has to compare with an ordinary science, for example biology, or chemistry. This is a question that turns into a burning problem among the scientists and linguists all over the world. Can philosophy be a science? What does philosophy… with? It operates with categories, which can be as wide and as interchangeable as one can only imagine. Ordinary science operates with definitions, which are quite limited in their field of research. Ordinary science uses terms and laws of that very science to continue the research, uniting with the others in very rare cases. Philosophy gets into the sense of every science trying to achieve results.

Staff of IAP gubernatorial candidate quits
Ray Hagar
rhagar@rgj.com
David Lory VanDerBeek of Pahrump, the Independent American Party candidate for Nevada governor, has lost his campaign staff, members of the staff said. Four people have resigned from the staff and those four were pretty much "all of us," said former staffer Sam Considine.
VanDerBeek downplayed the resignations: "If you have ever campaigned for office, you would know that volunteers come and go. These resignations don't have any negative effect on my campaign. If any of them had negative things to say about me, I have no control over that. I will not speak ill of anyone involved. Overall, it's always a great thing to help people move on and be happier."
Considine said he was concerned the campaign was changing into a book tour for VanDerBeek because he seemed more interested in his new book than running a serious campaign. VanDerBeek mentioned the book when contacted about the resignations.
"I have a book coming out, Guerilla (sic) Politician, which is a guide for third-party candidates and I'll be speaking at the Las Vegas Hempfest, which is expected to be attended by 25,000," VanDerBeek said. "The campaign is better than ever."
The resignation emails to VanDerBeek were brutal.
"I am frankly disturbed and disgusted by your arrogance, mistreatment, accusations, and disrespect for members of this campaign along with IAP members," wrote David Pruitt. "I am frankly disappointed by how little time you have put into this campaign."
Added Anders Herzberg: "Your rants on YouTube, your talk about conspiracy theories, your talk about false-flag terrorism at the Boy Scout Jamboree, and so much else leads the average person who has never heard of the IAP to think that you are a nut, and that the IAP is not a serious party."

A starting rate of $7.50 per page certainly sounds inviting, but is it true that essayoneday.com has 9.5 out of 10 average quality score? Even though this is the number presented on the website, the testimonials we looked online for the purpose of this Essayoneday review were mainly negative.
Unfortunately, the website of this company is not very good, since it lacks some important pages and information, such as services and prices. Regardless, we found the full list of services offered in the ordering form.
If you take a look at this list, you will learn that Essayoneday.com is not one of the companies that offer it all. Yes, they do offer assistance to students of all academic levels, but this list only contains the most commonly assigned papers.
The only indication of pricing on the website is the starting rate of $7.50 per page, and the first-time discount of only 5%. However, you cannot know the actual rate for an academic paper unless you fill in the ordering form.
When we did this, we learned that essayoneday.com is a cheap writing service, which makes it understandable why they cannot offer a higher newcomers' discount than 5%. Still, the lack of a loyalty program or bulk discounts of any kind is a bit of a disadvantage, even though the company is incredibly cheap to start with.
We found out that essayoneday.com is a cheap writing service, but one with a limited range of services offered. Regardless, every student would appreciate getting high quality content for such a low rate, even if they can only order the most popular papers from this provider.
The bad news here is that the quality is not great. We ordered a term paper from the service, and got an excellent rate for the service. The writer who did our paper met the deadline and delivered half a day before it was finished, but the paper needed much more than simple proofreading. As a matter of fact, we believe that the quality of content did not even fit the academic level we ordered it for, and the writer was not experienced in crafting this type of paper.
When we got the low quality content, we decided to get in touch with the customer service and see if they can help us. EssayOneDay really has a 24/7 customer service, and the agents reply to customers' queries almost instantly. However, the agent only accepted one request for a revision that turned out to be a waste of time.
The second time we asked for a revision because of the poor content quality, the agent politely rejected our request. Even though the customer service seems to be doing well and the agents here are professional, failing to provide the guarantees mentioned on the website is a sign of a scam service.
Essayoneday.com is a cheap writing service, and as is the case with most cheap services, this provider also works with low quality writers. Their customer support is good, but guarantees are non-existent.

Vicious Imagery
Online ramblings and other work displacement activities by writer David Bishop
Doctor Who and the Brexit Monstrosity
In February this year BBC Audio released The Elysian Blade, a Doctor Who talking book written by me. Read by Frazer Hines, it features the Second Doctor [played on screen by Patrick Troughton in the 1960s] with his companions Jamie and Victoria.
They take on a pair of charlatans who dupe people into harming themselves in exchange for false nostalgia. Sacrifice your senses, the villains say, and you can live in some golden world of the past, untroubled by things that disturb you.
It's a story about lies.
It's a story about self-delusion.
But most of all, it's a story about Brexit.
I've written for Doctor Who spin-offs in the past. My first Doctor Who novel was published by Virgin Books way back in 1996; three more followed from BBC Books in 2002, 2003 and 2004. I've also written Doctor Who audio dramas for Big Finish Productions, the last of those - Enemy of the Daleks - released in 2009.
All of my writing is, inevitably, suffused with my own views but mostly that tends to be politics with a small p. The Elysian Blade makes no bones about the fact it is a metaphor for Brexit. I voted to remain in the EU in 2016 because I believed it made no sense to abandon the opportunities offered by the UK being part of the European Union.
Since the referendum result, much has been revealed about the tactics and falsehoods spread by those running the various Leave campaigns - little of it good. I won't bother to restate them all, because most people's view of Brexit has long since solidified to the point where arguing changes few minds. But I am still a writer, with things to say.
In March 2018, I pitched three ideas for a Second Doctor audio original. One of them - with the working title 'Senseless' - was chosen by BBC Audio for further development. At that stage it was only a single paragraph long, and I hadn't realised what it was really about. Not yet. Here is the original pitch:
The TARDIS arrives on a world where everyone is missing at least one of their senses - but this is no natural phenomenon. The cause is Elysian Fields, a facility where you choose between the Angel of Forgetting and the Blade of Longing. One of them deletes a memory you never wish to recall again; the other lets you relive a long long moment from your past. As payment you must surrender one of your senses - forever.
I teach creative writing at a Scottish university. In one of my classes I talk about stories having a promise and a metaphor. When you as writer make a contract with your reader, what are you promising them? And what is the metaphor underpinning your narrative, what is it that gives your story meaning?
Having been asked to develop 'Senseless' into a two-page synopsis, I practised what I preach in class and thought about the promise of my story - and pondered for what was it a metaphor? And then it hit me: I was writing about Brexit.
I was writing about lies and the false promise of a better future. I was writing about power-hungry charlatans who will say and do anything for their own gain.
Now I had a choice. I could bury the metaphor, make sure the subtext remained so deep that few other people - if anyone - would recognise it. Or I could lean into my metaphor, make sure it was available to find for those willing or able to hear it.
I didn't want to write a didactic anti-Brexit rant. that wouldn't do anyone any good. But I recognised this metaphor had the power to add depth and meaning to my story.
So I opted to lean into it. I would write Doctor Who and the Brexit Monstrosity.
Once that decision was made, everything else fell into place. I needed a dodgy duo to sell their lies and mendacity to the colonists of the unnamed world in my story. Recent British politics have had plenty of craven opportunists, so casting was easy.
And it all still had to work as a Doctor Who story. It needed to have adventure and jeopardy, it needed to embody everything that is great about the Doctor - how he is never cowardly or cruel, how he fights for those unable to fight for themselves, how he uses the power of words and intelligence to overcome the brutality and falsehoods of others.
After several drafts the project was signed off last summer, and recorded with Frazer Hines - who played Jamie in Doctor Who during the 1960s - as reader. The Elysian Blade was released on CD and download in February this year, just seven weeks before Britain was due to leave the EU.
Three months on, the Brexit process has ground to a halt. Britain still hasn't left, with the ill-prepared exit proving to be an impossible task for the UK Government thus far.
Doctor Who Magazine #537 © Panini UK Ltd 2019
The Elysian Blade has had a few reviews, all very positive. So far I've only seen one that explicitly noted the Brexit subtext lurking beneath my story - and that's fine. It means I did my job as a writer. I didn't shove my views down people's throats, I let them discover the metaphor for themselves.
So, why am I making the implicit explicit now? Ego, perhaps. Will outing The Elysian Blade as an anti-Brexit narrative mean extra sales? Probably not. But I am proud of the story, and I'd like more people to hear it. So here's a tiny excerpt from what I wrote:
'You promised these people they could red if anything they didn't like about their lives, or themselves. You convinced them they could travel back to some imaginary time in the past when they were happy, when everything was simpler, when nothing challenged them or made them uneasy.
But life isn't like that. You have to live in here and now. You make things better by facing them, not by holding on to some idealised version of a past that never existed.'

My self-publishing experiment - Endeavour: The Complete Inspector Morse - hits a wee landmark
My eBook ENDEAVOUR: The Complete Inspector Morse has just passed 750 sales. Not much in publishing terms, but it's a wee landmark for a £4.99 eBook with no marketing, no print version to enhance visibility, and a niche audience.
ENDEAVOUR: The Complete Inspector Morse is an unoffical non-fiction guide to the TV series Endeavour and Inspector Morse, to Colin Dexter's original novels and short stories, plus Morse on radio and stage.
All the non-Endeavour material in the eBook had previously been published as The Complete Inspector Morse [TCIM] by Reynolds & Hearn across four editions, and then by Titan Books in a new 2011 edition. Those were all print only, a mix of paperback and hardback.
Titan later issued an eBook of TCIM but numerous reviews berated the low quality of its formatting. A reference text should enable readers to dip in and out of an eBook, not force them to scroll through hundreds of unchaptered pages to find what they seek.
In 2016 Titan confirmed it would not commission a new edition, but the company declined to revert rights in the book until the physical print run had sold out. That was estimated for 2017, and under the terms of my contract, Titan could wait another two years before reverting my rights.
I signed my original contract with Reynolds & Hearn in 2001, long before eBooks. R&H did obtain the electronic rights, but only on a non-exclusive basis. After some prodding Titan confirmed I could publish my own eBook, if I wished.
For the cover image, a fellow Endeavour enthusiast provided a photo taken during filming in Oxford - instead of paying a fee, they suggested I make a donation to charity. I happily paid Caroline Goldsmith to prep the eBook for upload [I recommend her!].
I made the eBook an Amazon exclusive priced at £4.99 - not cheap for a non-fiction eBook. I published ENDEAVOUR: The Complete Inspector Morse on December 23rd 2016, just ahead of the 30th anniversary of Morse first appearing on British TV.
After Amazon took its cut, I estimated the eBook needed to sell 100 copies to break even. Happily it passed that a year ago, thanks to Endeavour Series 4 being broadcast.
To my surprise, ENDEAVOUR: The Complete Inspector Morse has continued selling, even when new episodes of Endeavour aren't on screen [which is most of the year]. It's a steady wee earner, as the sales chart above demonstrates.
Despite being only an eBook, I've made far more royalties from this edition over the past year than I did from the traditionally published print versions of TCIM. New episodes of Endeavour makes a big difference, but so does 70% royalties instead of 7-10%!
After some gentle prodding Titan have now reverted all rights in the book, meaning I can publish the next edition in print and eBook if I choose. There's plenty of new material to add, with 10 new episodes of Endeavour and an Inspector Morse radio play.
But for now I'm happy to enjoy a wee landmark, and look forward to watching another new episode of Endeavour on ITV tonight. Onwards!

My PLR top ten titles for July 2016 - June 2017
Every year the Public Lending Right sends registered authors a statement estimating how many times their books were borrowed from UK libraries. To compensate for lost sales, the PLR pays 8.2 pence per loan. There's a maximum payment threshold [£6600] to prevent bestselling authors from draining the PLR's precious coffers.
About 22,000 authors get payments for the most recent PLR period [July 2016 - June 2017], with 195 on the maximum of £6600. The fate of the PLR is in flux, as cash-strapped councils close libraries and eBooks alter reading habits. But authors still welcome this new year bonus.
It is free to register your books for PLR - just go here. Even if you only wrote [or drew, in the case of comics artist] part of a collection, you can still register your bit. I represent a tiny 3% of the Heavy Metal Dredd graphic novel, but it makes me a few pennies. Like a fool, I forgot to complete registration for the only new book I had published in the most recent PLR period - tsk!
This year's top ten for my titles features several 2000AD-related tomes, two editions of the same Doctor Who novel, a Warhammer tie-in, and a hugely unsuccessful non-fiction book about the films of Michael Caine. That last book sold so badly, I think more people have read library copies over the past 15 years than ever bought the damned thing when it first came out in 2003.
It's a nice surprise to the Heroes Reborn tie-in to which I contributed appear on this list. I wrote an ebook novella and didn't expect anything to come of that, but it was reprinted by Titan with two other novellas from the series as a wee omnibus. Anyway, here are my top ten titles in librares for July 2016 - June 2017 (with previous year's placing in brackets).
1. (2) Heavy Metal Dredd (graphic novel, published 2009)
2. (1) Fiends of the Eastern Front: Stalingrad (graphic novel, 2010)
3. (-) The Complete Inspector Morse (2006)
4. (6) Doctor Who: Amorality Tale (2002)
5. (-) Thrill-Power Overload (2007)
6. (-) Judge Dredd: Kingdom of the Blind (200?)
7. (5) Starring Michael Caine (2003)
8. (-) Heroes Reborn (2016)
9. (8) A Massacre in Marienburg (2008)
10. (4) Doctor Who: Amorality Tale (new edition, 2015) )

2SLGBTQIA+ Inclusion in the UGDSB
The UGDSB values all students, employees, and families, regardless of age, ancestry, colour, race, citizenship, ethnic origin, place of origin, creed, ability, family status, marital status, gender identity, gender expression, socioeconomic status, employment, housing, sex, and sexual orientation, and is committed to creating and maintaining a learning and working environment where everyone can participate fully, thrive, and reach their full potential, free from trauma, bias, stereotyping, oppression and systemic racism.
The UGDSB recognizes that many identities do not exist in a single form and are often intersecting with multiple identities. Intersectionality can create a compounding impact on oppression, discrimination and racism. The UGDSB is committed to identifying and disrupting systemic racism and oppression in all of its forms. ~ UGDSB Policy 504
How does the UGDSB support 2SLGBTQIA+ staff and students?
The UGDSB is committed to naming and addressing homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, forms of hate and systems of oppression. The UGDSB supports 2SLGBTQIA+ staff, students and their families by celebrating the joy of identity and centering 2SLGBTQIA+ histories, contributions and excellence in our learning and work communities. Current initiatives include: GSAs and student and staff affinity groups, staff and student gender affirming support process, inclusive forms and processes that honour names and pronouns, All-gender washrooms, training for employees, Pride flags, and learning and celebration (Pride Month). As a workplace the UGDSB is addressing equitable hiring practices through voluntary self identification questions to purposefully increase gender diverse staff in addition to mandatory and voluntary training provided to all staff.

What are GSA/Pride Clubs, what do they do, and why are they important?
Gay-Straight Alliances (GSA), Gender-Sexuality Alliances (GSA) or Pride based groups are student-initiated and led clubs (supervised by a staff member) found in many UGDSB schools. These clubs aim to create safe and supportive environments for members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and others to work within allyship*. These groups address historical and current marginalization and promote advocacy with the intent of creating awareness and reducing ignorance, stereotypes, homophobia and transphobia. Each GSA/Pride Club within the UGDSB is unique based on student interest and community need.
Student-initiated and led GSA/Pride Clubs function within many UGDSB elementary schools (for grades 5 and older), as well as UGDSB secondary schools. Through Bill 13, the Accepting Schools Act, the Ministry of Education requires school boards to allow students to form groups at their school to raise awareness and understanding of important topics including gender identity and sexual orientation. Students and staff who have straight and cis-gendered** identities or family members and friends who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ are often part of the GSA/Pride work within our schools. Working within allyship, these youth and staff can share their passion to make our schools safe for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Oftentimes schools have social justice or equity themed clubs that address oppression across a wide spectrum of experiences, identities and concerns (racism, poverty, ableism etc.). These groups will often celebrate, support and facilitate 2SLGBTQIA+ needs similar to those of a GSA/Pride Club.
GSA/Pride Clubs are important as they increase awareness of 2SLGBTQIA+ identities and foster safer spaces for marginalized students, families and staff. The safe space created in a GSA/Pride Club can help reduce feelings of isolation and increase self-esteem and self-worth. In addition, GSA's/Pride Clubs are spaces of social justice action work. As a venue for student voice, students within these groups can lead information and awareness campaigns or activities supporting their school communities to be better informed about gender, sexuality and human rights. From this advocacy work, schools can continue to work towards being safe and inclusive places for all students, families and staff.
*Acting in allyship – supporting a marginalized group though not necessarily identifying as part of that marginalized group.
**Cis-gendered – a person whose gender identity and/or expression match the sex they were assigned at birth.
How does my child become involved in a GSA or Pride club?
Students are encouraged to speak to any staff member or administrator at their school about an existing club or group, or to find out more about starting a club. All schools within the UGDSB have an equity representative on staff who can provide more information and connect them with system supports. Jessica Rowden, the UGDSB's Equity and Inclusion Lead, may also be contacted at [email protected].
What is the Pride flag and why is my child's school flying the Pride flag?
The current Pride flag's exact colours and dimensions have changed from the Gilbert Baker flag, which first appeared as a representation of the LGBTQ+ community in 1977. Most recently, inclusive pride flags incorporate additional histories, identities and considerations such intersectionality**. Inclusive and progressive iterations of the Pride flag reflect contributors such as Monica Helms, Amber Hikes, and Daniel Quasar. Rainbow/Pride flags are strongly connected to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and are also representative of social change cited as being a symbol of hope and peace.
2SLGBTQIA+ stands for Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersex and Asexual, while + stands for other ways folks express their gender and sexuality outside heteronormativity and the gender binary. There are specific flags and flag variations for many identities within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
Many UGDSB students, staff, parents/guardians and community members identify as members of the Rainbow or 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Specifically during Pride Month in June, all schools in the UGDSB raise the Pride Flag to show our support and acceptance and to celebrate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Flying the Pride flag not only signals that our schools are committed to building safe spaces for everyone, it also aligns with our Vision Statement and Guiding Principles of Inclusion, Policy 503 and 504, the Ontario Human Rights Code, student and staff well-being and our UGDSB Equity Plan. In addition to Pride month, our school district is committed to supporting and celebrating the 2SLGBTQIA+ community throughout the whole year.
UGDSB Vision Statement:

We will meet our students' diverse needs through the provision of equitable and accessible resources. Our learning environment will be characterized by empowered administrators, effective communication and mutual compassionate respect.
Guiding Principles – We believe that:
Student learning is our focus
The learning process is open-ended
Education is a community responsibility

Continuous professional development supports life-long learning

What are the protocols for flying flags in the UGDSB?
Flags at UGDSB school sites and board facilities are flown in accordance with Upper Grand District School Board Policy 310 and the Display of Flags Procedure Manual 310a. This includes the flying of the Pride Flag and flying additional flags on the same flag pole as the Canadian flag. There is a common misconception that it is illegal for schools to fly additional flags on the same flag pole as the Canadian flag. However, the UGDSB policy and procedure is in alignment with the The National Flag of Canada Etiquette, which states, "The rules applied by the federal government are in no way mandatory for individuals or organizations; they may serve as guidelines for all persons who wish to display the National Flag of Canada and other flags in Canada."
UGDSB Policy 310 – Display of Flags allows for the display of other flags under specific parameters. The information below and available at the following link explains the policy and processes related to the flying of flags in our board.
It is the policy of the Upper Grand District School Board to display flags with dignity and respect. This policy is aligned with and supports the principles and expectations of the Board's policies for Safe Schools (503) and Equity and Inclusive Education (504). At all times, this policy shall be consistent with all UGDSB policies and the Ontario Human Rights Code.

310-A Display of Flags Procedures Manual
310-A Appendix A Flag Display Request (310-1)
What if 2SLGBTQIA+ histories, identities and celebrations do not align with my personal values and beliefs?
In 2020, the UGDSB created the following commitment:
As an educational community we have a responsibility to identify and describe racism and oppression and then work to dismantle it. The Upper Grand District School Board is committed to disrupting systemic racism and oppression in all of its forms. We will implement ongoing mandatory anti-racism and anti-oppression training for all staff, review our protocols and policies, including our hiring practices, and be fully transparent and accountable to all Upper Grand students, staff, families, and stakeholders in an ongoing manner.
Our school district is dedicated to building understanding, safety, inclusion and joy of 2SLGBTQIA+ identity into all of our school and work communities. Additionally, regardless of your personal values and beliefs, we all must follow the Ontario Human Rights Code that protects marginalized groups from discrimination and harassment.

Whether your walk around the block, down busy city streets or through the wilderness, alcott adventure leashes are a must-have!
Available in 7 different colors, every leash features a black neoprene padded handle. Every leash also has two rows of reflective stitching that is visible on BOTH sides of the leash.
Seems like a no-brainer, but compare our leashes to other reflective leashes out there... and you'll agree that alcott adventure leashes are the best. The nylon is soft, not stiff, and the reflective stitching is wide and very visible in low light and dark environments making you + your dog more visible to cars and other pedestrians.
Adventure Leashes are available in 3 sizes that are all the same length, but vary in the width of the nylon to match the width of the nylon on the same size adventure collar or adventure harness.
