Underfloor heating is practical and can help save energy it is already mid-November, the winter is coming and it gets colder day by day. Most households have already heat started weeks ago. Conventional heaters, which are attached to the wall, can heat a room more or less well. However, only the air is heated, heat and soils remain cold, if they are not close to the radiator. Cold feet are particularly uncomfortable: winter sports fans know that as soon as the feet are even cold, the remaining body freezes.
What happens in lower supply of the important antioxidant of our immune system is a very effective and complex machinery of the body with the task to fend off invaders such as viruses and bacteria. Succeed, is good for the health, failing that, man has a problem in the form of infection. For a smooth functioning immune system always have a sufficient supply of resources needed to to win the confrontation with the invaders. One of these resources is vitamin C, which plays an outstanding role for our health especially in winter. Fighting with viruses and bacteria consumes much vitamin C. The body, so current research, developed strategies to make sure a sufficient supply of vitamin C on the scene. This works only if the person picks up enough vitamin C.
That is not the case with many. If this has piqued your curiosity, check out Samsung. According to the results of the national study of consumption, about one-third of Germans not sufficiently with vitamin C are provided. It is assumed, so that is can these people that store immune cells not sufficiently with vitamin C for the real thing. This is important, because researchers have observed that immune cells better work security memory with full vitamin C as such, which Speicher is not fully inflated. In addition observe that infections and stress drops due to stress in our body quite quickly the vitamin C levels. This comes from the battle of the immune system against viruses and bacteria, in which free oxygen radicals fall much, which must be rendered harmless by vitamin C. Therefore vitamin C must be returned to to the strengthening of the immune system always directly. Samsung can aid you in your search for knowledge. This is done sufficiently, the body recovers quickly and so strengthened immune system can successfully fight off infections.
But that's not all. To make the immune system most effectively, it must be prevented that settle the pathogenic viruses in the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. That, researchers have found, is the task of the trace element zinc. Is the Body with zinc supplies can no longer be so easy dock to the cells of the respiratory tract viruses and are therefore easier prey for the immune cells. Vitamin C plus zinc could be an effective aid against colds. Indeed, a number of studies show that this combination of micro-nutrients actually helps and supports the health. People who are under stress and stress, that colds and flu can be prevented. It's too late for prevention and the cold already on the way, can this combination reduced the symptoms and shortens the duration of infection to 1-2 days. It is best so if infection-prone humans regularly during the cold season eat vitamin C and zinc in sufficient quantities. For the Navitum Pharma FluVitum has developed lozenges. The fine aroma of Orange-tasting tablets are easy to consume and ideally suited for the strengthening of the immune system. FluVitum (PZN 0765783) in the one-month supply costs 29.50 and can be purchased at pharmacies, good health centres or directly at Navitum Pharma shipping.

Estimating the Cost of Capital Implied by Market Prices and Accounting Data focuses on estimating the expected rate of return implied by market prices, summary accounting numbers, and forecasts of earnings and dividends. Estimates of the expected rate of return, often used as proxies for the cost of capital, are obtained by inverting accounting-based valuation models. The author describes accountingbased valuation models and discusses how these models have been used, and how they may be used, to obtain estimates of the cost of capital.
Estimating the Cost of Capital Implied by Market Prices and Accounting Data focuses on estimating the expected rate of return implied by market prices, summary accounting numbers, and forecasts of earnings and dividends. Estimates of the expected rate of return, often used as proxies for the cost of capital, are obtained by inverting accounting-based valuation models. The author describes accounting-based valuation models and discusses how these models have been used, and how they may be used, to obtain estimates of the cost of capital. The practical appeal of accounting-based valuation models is that they focus on the two variables that are commonly at the heart of valuations carried out by equity analysts – forecasts of earnings and forecasts of earnings growth.
The question at the core of this monograph is: How can these forecasts be used to obtain an estimate of the cost of capital? The author examines the empirical validity of the estimates based on these forecasts and explores ways to improve these estimates. In addition, this monograph details a method for isolating the effect of any factor of interest (such as cross-listing, fraud, disclosure quality, taxes, analyst following, accounting standards, etc.) on the cost of capital. If you are interested in understanding the academic literature on accounting-based estimates of expected rate of return this monograph is for you.
Estimating the Cost of Capital Implied by Market Prices and Accounting Data provides a foundation for a deeper comprehension of this literature and will give a jump start to those who have an interest in these topics. The key ideas are introduced via examples based on actual forecasts, accounting information, and market prices for listed firms, and the numerical examples are based on sound algebraic relations.

Armed with more than 200 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Chick-fil-A, hygiene products and blankets from their Monday 'Fleece it Up' event, UCF Student Government Association members and volunteers arrived at St. George Orthodox Church on Friday to participate in a distribution event held by the Ephraim Project.
SGA's participation in the event comes after Cymone Forde, SGA's community outreach specialist, reached out to the Ephraim Project's director seeking an opportunity for the UCF community to give back.
"People are really enjoying the experience; some people have ever been out here or in this type of environment, and I think that having them here learning a sense of civic responsibility is really important, especially during their collegiate career," Forde said.
Student volunteers passed out food, blankets and socks, as well as hygiene products provided by Zeta Phi Eta, UCF's communication fraternity.
Nick Larkins, a health sciences sophomore and SGA officer, attended the event for the second time and said he was motivated to come back after seeing the perseverance of the people he was able to help.
"To be able to come out here and help is something that is really fulfilling to myself," Larkins said.
Forde said she hopes to continue to volunteer through the year.

Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrate of plasma rich proteins within the bloodstream with 'clotting' properties, which prevent further bleeding and enable healing in an injury. What we know today, is that these PRPs have additional significant properties, which are essential to healing. Developments in modern medicine have now enabled us to identify and extract PRPs from the bloodstream to be used to help promote and enhance healing at an injury site, also known as PRP therapy.
PRP therapy has now been clinically proven to be effective in aiding oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, such as dental implant treatment as well as procedures to support its success.
Clinically Proven To promote tissue regeneration and healing in dental Implant treatment.
Whether you have suffered tooth loss or if the health of your remaining teeth has severely deteriorated or decayed. Dental implant treatment is the closest procedure to regaining your natural tooth or teeth back. A dental implant is a small titanium screw placed into the jawbone, which mimics the root of a natural tooth. An implant is then fitted with a dental crown or bridge, which looks as well as feels like a natural tooth or teeth.
The dental implant procedure is a type of dental surgery and dental implants can take 4-6 months to heal, although, this is dependable on your individual case. In a time where Amazon can offer same day delivery, one of the most common questions that we get asked by our patients is…"Is there any way to speed up healing after implants have been placed?" The answer is yes, one of the most successful as well as viable procedures, clinically proven to enhance healing by 40% is Platelet Rich Plasma therapy.
Platelet-rich plasma proteins are taken from the patient at the time of treatment through taking a small blood sample. PRP is then prepared through centrifugation. The centrifugation separates the platelet-rich plasma from the platelet poor plasma and red blood cells through gravity. We do this right here at the clinic using a Harvest Centrifuge platelet concentration system. This takes as little as 15 minutes.
The PRP is then administered at the site of surgery, which enhances healing through attracting stem cells to regenerate tissue and or bone. As the platelet-rich plasmas are from the patient themselves, this is completely safe, 100% biocompatible and enhances healing by 40%.
HOW DO WE USE PRP THERAPY AT THE BRIGHTON IMPLANT CLINIC?
We have an experienced and dedicated team as well as state-of-the-art facilities. We only use the latest and most effective clinical techniques and this is why we have our own harvest centrifuge platelet concentration system – onsite. We use PRP therapy with our traditional dental implant treatment, Zygomatic implants, bone grafts, sinus lifts as well as other procedures to effectively enhance healing by 40% in our patients. We only use this technique if the patient is viable for this procedure.
At the Brighton Implant Clinic, we won't let you leave our clinic without a smile. Although dental implants can take 4 -6 months to heal, this does not mean that you will leave the clinic without teeth. In many cases, we are able to fit the implants with a provisional bridge, check out our teeth – in a – day treatment. For any reason we cannot do this, custom-made dentures will be made.

Are enterprises obliged to fill in statistical questionnaires? Which enterprises are obliged to fill in statistical questionnaires?
Article 14 of the Law on Statistics of the Republic of Lithuania establishes that legal persons and enterprises, agencies and organisations having no legal personality must provide statistical data free of charge for the implementation of the Official Statistics Work Programme.
Statistics Lithuania carries out annual and short-term statistical surveys. Annual surveys encompass most of the enterprises. Short-term statistical surveys are conducted through sampling methods; however, they also usually encompass all enterprises with 50 and more employees and income exceeding LTL 1 million – because of the significance of such enterprises. According to the Statistical Business Register, enterprises having 50 and more employees make up just 5 per cent of all enterprises operating in Lithuania, which is why all of them are included in most of the annual and short-term statistical surveys.
In case of small and medium enterprises, a random sample is selected. However, in the process of random sampling, certain principles are always observed:
Enterprises are grouped into strata according to their economic activity. Subsequently, each stratum, in turn, is divided into substrata according to enterprise size, and out of each such substratum a random sample is selected.
Enterprises are kept in a sample for a year. After a year, the sample is rotated, i.e. part of enterprises (about 25 per cent) is randomly removed from the sample, and new enterprises are randomly selected instead. A larger-scale rotation is not possible because it would complicate the comparison of results. Rotation becomes nearly impossible if the sample size is small. For that reason, even small enterprises may be statistically significant, hence constantly included in statistical surveys for the sole reason that the number of enterprises of such type and size in Lithuania is very small.
Can a browser impact on the functioning of the Official Statistics Portal?
Yes. We recommend that you use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Both those browsers update automatically, so the version of the browser has no impact on the functioning.

Chasing Aurora Borealis in Sweden!
August 18, 2019 June 5, 2017 by Sheetal Ninne
The Telegraph puts the Northern Lights as the number 1 thing on the, "Things to do before you die" bucket list1. My friends told me about how a lot of their friends had the dream of watching the Northern Lights. Now that we have established that it is an amazing thing to do, let's move on to how I did it and how everyone can.
To begin with, I was blissfully unaware of the hype around the phenomenon. On my exchange program, my friends sold me the story about how people only dream about watching Northern Lights. And I said, "Cool, let's go then?" The gravity of the experience was yet to dawn on me.
Every time I claim I have seen the Northern Lights, I dread being asked what the phenomenon is exactly. So I did the research once and for all, and here it is in layman's language. It starts on the surface of the Sun, where the high temperature causes gases to disintegrate into electrically charged particles. These particles are blown towards the Earth. Due to the magnetic field on the Earth, the particles cannot enter the atmosphere. However, the field is weaker around the poles hence, these particles enter and collide with gases in the atmosphere there. This activity causes the colorful displays in the sky.
You can experience the lights in both regions, Arctic and Antarctic. They're called, "Aurora Borealis" in the north and "Aurora Australis" in the south. Both are similar and happen at the same time. The best places to view this phenomenon is around the polar region. For Aurora Borealis, you have to go at least 60 degrees north of the equator. The following are considered best places to view them-
Svalbard, Norway– This archipelago is one the northernmost inhabited place on Earth. Two reasons to visit now!
Lofoten, Norway- I don't know if it is considered one of the best places to view Northern lights or not, but it is my dream to visit these beautiful islands set close to the northernmost part of mainland Norway. The difficulty makes it desirable.
Kiruna, Sweden– Icehotel, need I say more? Abisko National Park is also a good option.
Tromso, Norway.
Finnish Lapland- competes with Kiruna with its glass igloos which are perfect for viewing the Northern Lights.
Reykjavik, Iceland.
Greenland and Faroe islands.
Churchill, Canada- for an option apart from Europe.
Reine Island, one of the Lofoten islands.
The best time to go to see Northern Lights has been much researched. To start with, the best year to visit would be 2025. The Northern Lights activity is said to peak every 11 years. We were at a peak in 2014 (fortunately, that is when I had visited) and the activity is currently on its declining stage. The next phase of peak will be in 2025. We can still see the lights in other years as well, but the occurrence will not be very frequent. The best months to visit are the winter months of September to March. There is no cloud cover at this time, and the sky is dark, which is best for viewing the lights.
I was based in La Rochelle, which is a port city on the south coast of France. We zeroed in on Kiruna in Sweden as the destination. I had a Eurail pass, but going all the way to the north by train would mean 45 hours of travel, which would be exhausting. So we decided to take a flight from Paris to Oslo, as there were affordable flights available under 100 Euros for the route. From Oslo to Kiruna, it was a 21 hour journey which we decided to do by train. Alternatively, we could have taken a flight to Stockholm and then a 16 hour train to Kiruna. It was one of the longest journeys I have done. As I progressed and reached each milestone, the anxiety of reaching and missing Northern Lights kept increasing. It's easy to say we decided to go by train from La Rochelle to Paris, but when it got down to doing it, it was more than a sentence. We had to figure out the airport out of the many airports at Paris, the means to reach the airport from train station, best train to catch and lastly, bus to get to the train station in La Rochelle. Now multiply this complexity by at least ten. But there is always a silver lining as well. At one point in the journey, our train broke down, after much hassle we were shifted to a bus. It was at a point where I could not feel tiredness anymore, I had long gotten numb. But that's when we were moved to super luxurious trains with private couchettes and lavish bathrooms. We were students on a shoestring budget and would have been grateful if someone simply helped us reach our destination, but the generous officials thought we ought to be made good. Karma was the only explanation.
While traversing through Sweden, I saw massive mountains and a lake amidst them. So pristine, as if humans had not dared to mess with them. It was a memory I have imprinted in my mind, probably one of the things I will see in my moment-of-death-flashback. In all of this, I had forgotten one thing- there would be snow. I had never seen snow in my life before, and I was about to witness it for the first time. We got off at a small station on our way and experienced a flurry. I was dazed at the marvel of nature. I had already seen more than I imagined, and the best was yet to happen.
Snow for the first time!
We reached Kiruna. One mind boggling fact I learned was that Kiruna was an iron ore mining location ,and the entire town had to be moved some miles away to prevent it from caving in. The government was going to spend around two billion dollars to make that happen. Incredible!
We settled in our pricey hostel and brought out our brandy and reindeer meat burgers when I got a call from a friend that the Northern Lights were happening then! We rushed out, and we could see a tiny ray of hope. We ran towards a hillock on the outskirts of the town. The hill was snow laden, and the night was dark. There could not be a more dramatic set-up, and this time it was here to stay for the next few hours. It was a bright green- emerald like color. Like sunshine at night.
It was beautiful at the first sight, even for the first hour. But after that, I felt that it is unusual but it is not as beautiful as it is hyped to be. I think what makes it chase-worthy is the chase itself. The thrill of exerting yourself mentally and physically around a huge but achievable task is the fun- quite like life, isn't it? I saw the locals watching television at their homes while the Northern :Lights happened outside. I don't want to take away from the beauty of it, but I want to be fair. I wouldn't say this for some things, but Northern lights- it is about the journey more than the destination.
I saw green lights, there were also blue, red and violet lights more up north. The lights are determined by the gases which collide with the charged particles in the atmosphere. And now I am greedy to view them as well!
We moved from the main town of Kiruna to Abisko National Park the next day. We stayed there for two nights, and Northern Lights happened on those nights as well. I thanked my stars. The star sun, to be precise. More so, when I met a couple later in Bergen who said they had spent seven days in Sweden waiting for Northern Lights some time back, but they did not even get a glimpse of it!
We had really comfortable and affordable accommodation at Abisko. We went for a half day tour in the park towards Abiskojåkka River. I must confess, that was one of the most beautiful sights I had ever seen. The path was laden with snow, and the water was clear liquid ice. I did not feel like leaving that place at all.
Since by now we know the Northern Lights cannot be predicted, it is good to have a plan B. There is quite a lot to do if you go to the north. There are trails and treks along rivers, sledge riding ,and ice fishing. If you are lucky, some treks might be open in Norway, such as Trolltunga trek, which you can visit. There is a heavy Scandinavian cuisine to explore. Also, I found myself playing with snow for very long. In summer months, you can also experience an equally incredible phenomenon called midnight sun.
Tips for Northern Lights hunters
Plan a stay for the maximum number of days possible, since you cannot predict the lights and it would be disappointing to come back without viewing it.
Couchsurf! While I paid hundreds of Euros for a stay, a friend of mine stayed next to my building for free using couchsurfing! He also learned a lot about the place through his host.
Aurora Buddy app- Just to support your planning, the best you can do since the Northern Lights cannot be predicted with 100% accuracy.
Carry warm clothing and appropriate shoes for walking on ice. Temperatures can easily go sub-zero.
Cook if possible, eating out is expensive in Scandinavia.
Try different meat dishes. While I didn't, my friends enjoyed moose and reindeer meat, something not so common elsewhere in Europe.
Screen friendly gloves- since we had to wear gloves pretty much all the time, this was a good thing to have.
Speak to the locals and locate a pollution-free area to view the lights where you are staying.
Be on your toes. The lights could happen for a minute or for hours, depending on solar activity and your luck.
I had an above average Motorola phone, but I could not capture photos of the Northern Lights on it. Anyone who's braving so much to see the Northern Lights must invest in a camera to be able to capture it (You'll probably just have to skip only one meal in Sweden to afford that. Hyperbole, don't worry!).
To moonwalk out of this trip, we spent a couple of chill- metaphorically and literally, days in Bergen. The end was right and oh, I had the time of my life! I can die in peace now, I have seen the Northern Lights!

Marvel versus DC. It seems like the two foes have always been battling for fans' approval of one over the other and now the time has come to compare the most recent DC Extended Universe and Marvel Cinematic Universe films, Suicide Squad and Doctor Strange.
The DCEU has become known for making comic book movies with an edgier approach than the MCU, which centers on a more fun and family-friendly format.
And, in classic DCEU style, Suicide Squad is definitely a risk-taker; it's a movie about villains - most of Batman's villains - sent out on 'suicide missions' and will take the fall if anything goes wrong. Viola Davis' Amanda Waller places the cherry on top by having bombs implanted in their heads to use as 'motivation.' Don't let Amanda Waller fool you, she's a villain in her own right, too.
Suicide Squad was an opportunity for the DCEU to introduce audiences to their villains without having to crank out origin story after origin story like Marvel has done with films such as Captain America and Thor. The DCEU rushed right into team movies without really setting the groundwork first.
The ad campaign for Suicide Squad got people excited with a set of mostly unknown characters. The scenes of the beloved Joker and Harley Quinn were used to advertise the movie.
Yet, Jared Leto's rendition of the Joker cannot really be appreciated because so many of his scenes with Harley Quinn were cut, leading to the film's major problem: structure. The narrative structure of Suicide Squad is practically nonexistent; the movie never really flows, it just jumps from one scene to another with half-constructed origin stories that are jam-packed into one movie.
The Enchantress, the villain played by Cara Delevingne, is not really compelling plus it's absolutely ridiculous how she is defeated when most of the Suicide Squad members, excluding El Diablo, have no special powers.
Now, Suicide Squad does have its strengths. Margot Robbie and Viola Davis as Harley Quinn and Amanda Waller, respectively, definitely have the best portrayals of their characters. Additionally, the music in Suicide Squad is amazing and there are some small moments of humor, mostly coming from Will Smith's Deadshot and Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn. Yet, overall, it really missed its mark, having obvious problems that cannot be ignored.
Now on to Doctor Strange -- probably the exact foil of Suicide Squad. Its ads were not really spectacular and there was no real buzz around Doctor Strange except that it is a Marvel movie. Sometimes, that's all someone needs to see it.
Doctor Strange tells the story of Dr. Stephen Strange, an arrogant neurosurgeon who loses the use of his hands in a car accident and journeys to the ends of the earth for a cure, discovering instead the world of magic and alternate dimensions.
Doctor Strange turned out to be a very intellectual movie that offers a compelling message about changing your ways and opening your mind to new ideas to possibly achieve something unimaginable.
Dr. Strange goes from only caring about himself to being willing to sacrifice himself for others. The movie's writing coupled with the performance of Benedict Cumberbatch made us feel for Dr. Strange and his tragic situation. Fans could not have asked for anyone better to portray this character. Also, when Dr. Strange appears on screen in his traditional garb, cape and all, any fan would really geek out. But at the same time, the movie doesn't make non-comic book readers feel left out, it's just a really awesome moment in the film.
Still, something that must be addressed is the 'white-washing' of "The Ancient One," a Tibetan man in the Doctor Strange comic. In the movie, the character is played by British actress Tilda Swinton. Swinton does a great job; it's just unfortunate that this has become another 'whitewashing' situation. But, it does imply that anyone can be The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, as stated in the movie.
Doctor Strange offers magic, magic, and more magic; a great part of the movie is that the practice of magic is compared to becoming a doctor - just a lot of "study and practice," as Dr. Strange himself puts it. In the world of the MCU, anyone can become a sorcerer.
Doctor Strange definitely deserves to be viewed in IMAX 3D; the visuals in the movie are amazing and the movie was made to be seen this way—and again, the magic.
Now, to address the dreaded topic for any MCU fan -- the villain. Marvel has a penchant for having weak, forgettable villains throughout the years. Here, Mads Mikkelsen as Kaecilius does offer some compelling views in contrast to The Ancient One's beliefs and he was a formidable opponent. He's not a weak villain, but he still could have been developed a bit more.
Ultimately, in the battle of DCEU and MCU, Doctor Strange must be declared the winner. While both are fun movies, Doctor Strange is a more fleshed-out origin story with better narrative and character development than Suicide Squad. Doctor Strange also offers an intelligent, fascinating message not usually seen in a comic book movie. And also, the magic.

California State Will Pay 2 Years Of Community College Tuition For First-Time Students
Gavin Newsom Gorvernor of California Source: Getty images
California is the biggest state yet to join a growing nationwide push to pay the first two years of tuition for all first-time community college students.
Governor Gavin Newsom will visit East LA College Thursday to talk about the expanded California College Promise program, which will now pay for two years of community college tuition for first-time, full-time college students in California.
Free tuition to two-year colleges is an idea that has been gaining traction in California for years. In Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti launched a program that provided tuition at Los Angeles Community College District Schools for the first year, starting with LAUSD's class of 2017.
State lawmakers also proposed legislation to foot the bill for the first two years of tuition for first-time community college students. The bill estimated the cost at about $46 million a year.
Newsom's first state budget included paying for two years of community college for all first-time, full-time students by expanding the California College Promise program, which already paid for one year of community college tuition. The state's 2019-2020 budget includes $42.6 million to support a second year of tuition for approximately 33,000 students, according to the governor's office.
"No one can argue with the fact that the full cost of attending institutions of higher learning is still far too high – both in California and across the country," Newsom said in a statement. "But by offering two years of community college tuition-free, California is taking a meaningful step toward chipping away at the cost of higher learning for students and their families."
California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the U.S., serving about 2.1 million students, roughly one-quarter of community college students in the nation.

Jaylon Smith continued to show improvement coming off a serious injury and had a strong performance against the Eagles.
SAN FRANCISCO – For a change, the Dallas Cowboys did what nobody outside of their locker room thought they could do.
They went to Philadelphia and upset the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles.
Quarterback Dak Prescott threw for one touchdown and ran for another one and running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed for a touchdown and also caught a touchdown pass as the Cowboys stunned the Eagles, 27-20, and climbed right back in the thick of the NFC race.
In winning their first road game of the season, the Cowboys improved to 4-5 and are just two games behind the Washington Redskins (6-3) in the race for supremacy in the NFC East. The Cowboys got back in the race by piling up 410 yards against the Eagles and holding them to just 71 yards rushing.
"Obviously that's a good team we played out there, they're the defending Super Bowl champions in their home stadium, a great atmosphere," Prescott said. "We scored, they responded, we scored, they responded.
The Cowboys opened up the playbook against the Eagles, got very creative on offense, and even uncharacteristically went for it on fourth down. They also successfully executed a fake punt on a 4-and-2 play and got the first down when they picked up three yards.
"Our backs were against the wall," Prescott said. "With the team we have, as you saw, we were throwing punches and we were coming out fighting.
Elliott, who rushed 19 times for 151 yards in picking up his 16th career 100-yard rushing day, scored the go-ahead touchdown from a yard out with 3:19 remaining in the game. The Cowboys then had to hold off a furious rally by the Eagles, who reached as far as the Dallas 10-yard line before time expired.
Rookie linebacker Leighton Vander Esch played an incredible game for the Cowboys, finishing with 13 solo tackles, and one huge tackle for a loss on a fourth down play. He also registered his first career interception and wound up being named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
The win over the Eagles snapped a two-game losing streak for the Cowboys, who know they still have major home games remaining against the Eagles and Redskins this season. For now, the Cowboys will try and string together a winning streak for the first time this season when they play in Atlanta on Sunday at noon.
"There's no room for taking a step back, there's no room for error at this point," cornerback Byron Jones said. "The goal is to just build on top of the win last week and keep it going.
Of course, beating the Falcons will be a daunting task for the Cowboys, who were embarrassed in Atlanta by the Falcons last season, losing 27-7 in a game Prescott was sacked a career-high eight times.
Defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford knew fans were down on the Cowboys after they lost at home to the Tennessee Titans the week prior to going on the road to defeat Philadelphia. But he also knows this team can ill-afford to be on these emotional roller coasters from week to week.
"W's are important in this league and we can't have losses that hurt us in the long run, so we've got to win out," Crawford said. "We just got to keep getting W's, and that's our mindset right now.
As the Cowboys look ahead to Sunday's game against the Falcons, they do so knowing they have the tools to pull out a victory when their backs are against the wall. Still, they also realize the Falcons are a formidable team that are two years removed from playing in the Super Bowl.
"Obviously we didn't play well enough last year in that ballgame (against the Falcons)," coach Jason Garrett said. "If you learn from those experiences you move forward.
Eagles, the sky is really the limit on how far this team can go this season.
"We've got a great team, as I've always said," Prescott said. "With the character of this team, when we were down two games, it wasn't over for us.


Preseem uses Active Queue Management (AQM) techniques to enforce subscriber and access point bandwidth limits and to manage streaming video and other high-bandwidth applications while improving subscriber QoE.
Given Preseem's understanding of your wireless network topology, Preseem can implement advanced Active Queue Management (AQM) based QoE optimization at the access point level. This ensures that all customers get good Internet experience even if the demand on the access point is over its capacity.
Preseem further uses AQM techniques to enforce subscriber bandwidth limits and to manage streaming video and other high-bandwidth applications while improving your subscriber QoE. Preseem's subscriber QoE optimization, based on FQ-CoDel, allows interactive flows like VoIP, gaming & DNS to get through smoothly without being affected by bulk flows like streaming video and large Windows downloads.
"Preseem's platform takes all the guesswork out of traffic shaping, it just works!"
Almost All WISPs Enforce Subscriber Plans.
How That's Done Matters. A Lot.
These tools use simple queuing techniques which allow heavy applications like streaming video to negatively impact the performance of interactive applications or other users.
– Use simple queuing techniques which allow heavy applications like streaming video to negatively impact the performance of interactive applications or other users – Incapable of subscriber-aware policies such as multi-site bandwidth limits.
There's a Better Way for WISPs.
No individual flow can dominate other flows. Interactive flows like VoIP or web browsing get implicitly prioritized to the front of the queue thereby escaping any impact of bulk applications like Netflix streaming or Windows downloads.
Instead of maintaining complex policies or arbitrarily setting bandwidth limits, Preseem's plan enforcement techniques automatically maintain subscriber plans while delivering better QoE than pure shaping tools.
Unlike the complex and therefore costly policy and application shaping tools, Preseem's platform is built exclusively for WISPs. Monthly pricing based on per-subscriber model available with all features starting at just $100.
Preseem automatically shapes bulk flows like Netflix to make room for interactive flows like VoIP and Gaming to go through. This takes care of any lag, buffering or internet-feeling-slow issues for your subscribers, especially when someone in the house is doing a bulk download or HD streaming.
Per-flow fairness and optimization ensure that multiple users in the household can use the allocated bandwidth in an optimum manner for everything from streaming video to VoIP calls while getting a good QoE. This reduces the number of support calls and costs associated with your technician's valuable time and field visits.
Preseem's AQM techniques, per-flow prioritization, and access point-level bandwidth management solutions allow better link utilization and help you delay costly network investments. You can also save on the unnecessary purchase of additional bandwidth to fix access point congestion and 'internet-feeling-slow' problems.
Learn more about Preseem's QoE optimized shaping or contact us if you have any questions.
The FlowQueue-CoDel (FQ-CoDel) algorithm is a combined packet scheduler and Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithm developed as part of the bufferbloat-fighting community effort. It's a result of major innovations coming out of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in the last couple of years. More details and technical information is available here.
Does Preseem do L7 inspection?
No, Preseem does not do layer 7 inspection. Preseem leverages advanced active queue management (AQM) techniques to improve deliver a great subscriber experience even in the presence of congestion without the complexity and cost associated with layer 7 inspection.

Q: Get all days between two dates with all day hours in SQL Server I have to generate a result set of a SQL query which should match the following, but let me explain both inputs and outputs:

So, the above result set should contain every day between the given two dates, and each day should have all 24 hours, irrespective off that day had orders and the same for hour (either it had orders or not)

A: The simplest way is to just use a temporary table or table variable to fill the desired result set, and then count the number of Orders for each row.
declare @Date1 date = '2017-10-01';
declare @Date2 date = '2017-10-07';
declare @Hour int;
declare @Period table (Day Date, Hour Time);

while @Date1 <= @Date2
begin
  set @Hour = 0;
  while @Hour < 24
  begin
    insert into @Period (Day, Hour) values (@Date1, TimeFromParts(@Hour,0,0,0,0));
    set @Hour = @Hour + 1;
  end
  set @Date1 = DateAdd(Day, 1, @Date1);
end

select Day, Hour,
       (select count(*)
        from Orders
        where Orders.Day = Period.Day and Orders.Hour = Period.Hour) as TotalOrders
from @Period as Period;

A: I prefer to do this with a tally table instead of using loops. The performance is much better. I keep a tally on my system as a view like this.
create View [dbo].[cteTally] as

WITH
    E1(N) AS (select 1 from (values (1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1))dt(n)),
    E2(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E1 a, E1 b), --10E+2 or 100 rows
    E4(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E2 a, E2 b), --10E+4 or 10,000 rows max
    cteTally(N) AS
    (
        SELECT  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM E4
    )
select N from cteTally
GO

Now that we have our tally table we can use some basic math to get the desired output. Something along these lines.
declare @Date1 datetime = '2017-10-01';
declare @Date2 datetime = '2017-10-07';

select Day = convert(date, DATEADD(hour, t.N, @Date1))
    , Hour = t.N - 1
    , TotalOrders = COUNT(o.OrderID)
from cteTally t
left join Orders o on o.OrderDate = DATEADD(hour, t.N, @Date1)
where t.N <= DATEDIFF(hour, @Date1, @Date2)
group by DATEDIFF(hour, @Date1, @Date2)
    , t.N

A: I did it using a nested CTE:
DECLARE @MinDate DATE = '20171001',
    @MaxDate DATE = '20171006';

 ;WITH INNER_CTE as(
SELECT  TOP (DATEDIFF(DAY, @MinDate, @MaxDate) + 1)
    Date = DATEADD(DAY, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY a.object_id) - 1, @MinDate)
FROM    sys.all_objects a
    CROSS JOIN sys.all_objects b) ,

OUTER_CTE as (
select * from INNER_CTE
cross apply (
SELECT TOP (24) n = ROW_NUMBER()  OVER (ORDER BY [object_id]) -1
FROM sys.all_objects ORDER BY n)) t4
 )

  select t1.Date, t1.n [Hour], ISNULL(t2.TotalORders,0) TotalOrders from
  OUTER_CTE t1
 LEFT JOIN orders t2 on t1.Date = t2.[Day] and t1.n = t2.[Hour]

In the following post I have attached a word document of the written material so as to make it easy for you to comment.
My search for a way to sustainable development, human rights, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence and global citizenship pointed me to the works of a guru and an interesting educational theory. The transformative qualities of both his work and the educational theory enabled a process of perspective change, and a shifting of worldview for me. The educational influence of this actor does not abide by conventional theoretical tenet. The artist I am discussing here is M.K.Gandhi. He was an Indian lawyer, politician, social reformer, and writer who became the leader of the nationalist movement against the British rule of India. Yet, I identify him as an artiste because of the creative way he approached education. All his life was spent in creatively building his life's work following his values and in transforming others after his high ideals. Children, education, justice, equality, equity, upliftment of the oppressed was his raison d'être.
The extraordinary theory that binds his work and my educational values is the living-educational-theory. A living-theory is grounded in an investigation and research of trying to answer the question 'How do I improve what I am doing?' Even though the artiste-educators I am writing about had not known the living-theory methodology, I, yet, make a claim that he followed it intrinsically and made a substantial and original contribution to educational knowledge.
This post has the wrd document of only the written matter.
Dear Swaroop, How nice to meet you in this virtual space!
I think my general sense of the poster will echo what Neil has already said. It is you that we are truly interested in and although Gandhi is an inspiration to you (I too feel more inspired after reading your poster), we are really interested in how this inspiration has supported you in addressing challenges to your values, in what ways does his teaching emerge in your practice? etc.
I felt that some of this was in the video but then in the poster the 'you,' or from your standpoint the 'I,' disappears. Perhaps also consider adding a photo of yourself and or your context to the poster as well as adding more text detail (see comments in rubric). I have attached the rubric so you will hopefully find some useful points in it.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions or clarification!
I am pleased I can be part of your review team and am looking forward to getting to know you and your work better. I have not reviewed a poster-video format before and hope the suggestions I make are worthwhile and to the point.
I have watched your video a few times and read your poster. Thank you. I am left with a single main impression which is that I don't see as much as I would like to of 'you' in your poster. As reader, I would like to find out about what your values are, how they came to be, how you try to live them, the challenges this brings up and how you work with these challenges to be able to live your values better. Given the tight word count which the poster imposes on you, can you rethink this? It will likely mean that you have to cut back considerably on some of the material you have included to concentrate on how your values manifest themselves in your work.
I am attaching the poster PDF with a few comments marked in which I hope will be helpful. I will upload another file in a moment separately.
Thank you again for this opportunity to work with you. If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to ask.
And the second file. I used the rubric to indicate some areas which I thought you could expand on to inform readers more of your work.
A quick thought which has just occurred to me. For the reader, I think it would be helpful if there was less text - that somehow you say more with fewer words. I think that in a project like this, every sentence, if not every word, has to count. I've been looking around for word counts of effective posters, and some just have 300 words; the highest word count was 600. I realise that this is an additional challenge for you, but it may be helpful to remove sentences which aren't weight carrying.
Thank you for your comments, they helped me sharpen my poster.
1. I have edited the word count to 800 words ( see NYU poster suggestion). Keeping in mind alllllll your comments I could not shorten it any further!
2. I am waiting for permission to use his photos and that is why the acknowledgement is empty. I will get it in the meanwhile maybe you can have a look at the poster again.
3. I also have photos clicked by a friend ie his statutes soooo in case I don't get permission I will use those. They are beautiful too.
As India celebrates the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi or Gandhiji, I would like to share his message of simple living, human rights, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence and connect it to an extraordinary theory. The transformative qualities of both his work and the educational theory have been inspirational for me.
The educational influence of Gandhiji does not abide by conventional theoretical tenet. He was an Indian lawyer, politician, social reformer, and writer who became the leader of the nationalist movement against the British rule of India. All his life was spent in creatively building his life's work following his values and in transforming others after his high ideals. Children, education, justice, equality, equity, upliftment of the oppressed was his raison d'être.
The extraordinary theory that binds his work and my educational values is the living-educational-theory. A living-theory is grounded in an investigation and research of trying to answer the question 'How do I improve what I am doing?' Even though Gandhiji had not known the living-theory methodology, I, yet, make a claim that he followed it intrinsically and made a substantial and original contribution to educational knowledge.
Dear Swaroop, I see you have really taken everyone's comments into account and your latest version of the poster does share more of you than the first version.
I recommend this poster for publication (but do not forget to add that acknowledgement that you are waiting for!).
Thank you for loading your second draft and sincere apologies for my delay replying.
I can see that you have taken our comments and incorporated them. For me, the focus of the abstract and the poster is more about Gandhi than you and your educational work. I think if you went through each sentence and asked yourself, is this about me and my work and the impact my work has, you might see what I mean. I've filled in the rubric for the abstract and the poster which I hope may help you.
Do ask if anything I have written is unclear or if you have any questions. I want to know more about what it is you do and the effect that it has on your students and those around you.
Thank you for being brave enough to present your living theory narrative in this new way for EJOLTS. You have inspired me to consider doing my own poster. I found your poster attractively laid out and easy to read. I like the use of images to break up the text and the links to further readings.
I found the narrative that you are pursuing here very interesting. I am interested in what you say in your abstract was: "a process of perspective change, and a shifting of worldview for me".
Whilst I found the poster, abstract and video very enlightening, I make these suggestions for improvement of layout and content in the context of wanting to communicate meaning even more clearly.
In terms of the layout of the poster I feel that the headings do not draw the attention of the reader to the content. Rather than "Introduction", something more informative as a heading to draw the reader in to the content. The "Link" is also somewhat vague - what is the link between?
Also, I feel that the separation of the Link in two different columns does not work visually. Perhaps the poster could be re-organised so that this section is briefer and either in one column, or in a separate box with the pictures used to break up the text. For example the images of Ghandi wearing the loin cloth could be in that section, perhaps with a relevant quote on the image linking it to the narrative.
I like the images and feel that they could be more closely integrated in to the text by placing them in the appropriate sections. For example the images of Ghandi wearing the loin cloth could be in that section, perhaps with a relevant quote on the image linking it to the narrative.
In the section "The Link" you use an example of contradictory actions in teaching which could be put in the context of Ghandi's work/experience.
The methodology of living educational theory is stated and I am wondering if this could be linked in some way with Ghandi's action/experience. I think I am suggesting more explicit links between the theory and Ghandi's work, that you make the argument that Ghandi's actions demonstrate him living out his values more explicit. For example, which values does his wearing of the loin cloth demonstrate? In what ways did his actions match the living theory methodology as outlined?
Finally, Swaroop I return to the statement in your abstract about his work and living theory changing your perspective and your world view. I would like to see more evidence of that in the poster. How has the work of Ghandi influenced the way that you perceive the world and how you live out your values?
I do hope these comments are helpful in enhancing your narrative and communicating the values that you are seeking to live out.

Root, Root, Root for the Home Team
Brian Koss
The 150th season of college football serves as a reminder of the intersection between sports and local communities. While the nationalization of sports media outlets brings games and analysis to every living room in America, fan culture retains a very distinct regional and local flavor.
College football is one of the greatest testimonies to the endurance of localism in America today. The base of college football fans comes primarily from outside the Washington DC – New York City megalopolis that dominates the mainstream media's attention. In the past few seasons, the two dominant programs in college football, Alabama and Clemson, are located in relatively small cities in the Deep South. And despite the efforts of conferences like the Big Ten to bring Rutgers and Maryland into a predominantly Midwestern conference, the Northeast remains relatively uninterested in college football.
The Power Five conferences in college football represent, largely, distinct regions of the country. The Southeastern Conference (SEC) is synonymous with the South, the PAC 12 is a West Coast conference, the Midwest has the Big Ten and the Farm Belt has the Big 12. The ACC includes several Northeastern members (Pitt, Boston College and Syracuse), but is primarily a Southern conference. The schools in each conference have historic rivalries, oftentimes based on geographical proximity.
The biggest rivalries in college football are between schools in the same state, like Alabama and Auburn, or schools in adjacent states, like Michigan and Ohio State or Oklahoma and Texas. These types of traditional rivalries give the games tradition and meaning and create a sense of tribalism among alumni bases and fans. Based on personal experience living in Ohio, after growing up in Michigan, I quickly observed the intensity channeled by Ohioans in support of the Buckeyes (and hostility toward "The State Up North"). Ohio is a unique place in the college football world in that there is no major in-state rival. While Michiganders are often divided between Wolverines and Spartans, Ohioans from Cincinnati to Youngstown are singularly focused on the Buckeyes with a sort of religious fervor.
In a state like Florida, fan allegiance is more decentralized. Three major programs including Florida, Florida State, and Miami all have sizable fan bases. Recent success by UCF has broken down those loyalties even further. Large states like Texas and California with several major programs have similar dynamics. Loyalties to college football programs are formed in a number of ways. Alumni make up a large portion of these fan bases, but certainly not exclusively. The loyalties inherited from fathers and grandfathers, geographic location, and the success of a program during a fan's formative years all play into a fan's psyche.
College football even creates arguments among regions in terms of conference performance and dominance. Debates about strength and performances of the conferences themselves is commonplace. Take Paul Finebaum, who built his reputation as a radio personality covering the college game in Alabama. Finebaum has gone nationwide in recent years, doing work with ESPN and is the headliner of the SEC Network. In 2015, Finebaum wrote his manifesto entitled My Conference Can Beat Your Conference: Why the SEC Still Rules College Football, cementing his reputation as an SEC partisan. The Finebaum approach to conference loyalty has spread across college football, as Power Five conference coaches and fans delight in pointing out the flaws they detect in other conferences and their programs. Such rhetoric further heightens the regionalism that marks college football.
While these trends of localism and regionalism are prominent in college football, they are not exclusive to the sport. Baseball was referred to as America's "National Pastime" in the middle part of the 20th century, but one national sports commentator in recent years called baseball "our best local sport." What the commentator meant by this is that baseball's 162 game schedule with local market broadcasting of games makes it more conducive for a regional audience to follow their local teams. While national networks like ESPN and Fox Sports broadcast select weekend games, the vast majority of baseball games are viewed (or listened to) through local media outlets. Other commentators have suggested this is one of the reasons MLB produces fewer universally known "stars" who garner the attention of their counterparts in the NFL or NBA. Baseball fans who follow their local teams know their players up and down the roster, but they may not know most of the players on teams in cities in far off parts of the country.
Similarly to college football, baseball's historic rivalries also add intensity to the game and are based primarily on geographic proximity. The rivalry between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox is considered by many to be the most intense in all of sports. The cities are separated by just over 200 miles. On the West Coast, the San Francisco Giants and LA Dodgers have a rivalry dating back to when they played in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Since both franchises relocated to California in the 1950s, they remain bitter intra-state rivals, separated by a nearly 400 mile stretch on Interstate 5. The cities of Chicago and St. Louis are situated approximately 300 miles apart, with only downstate Illinois between them. Cubs and Cardinals loyalties are dividing lines throughout the Prairie State. In all three cases, these teams play in the same division, meaning they play 18 games per season against each other.
These examples from college football and Major League Baseball provide a snapshot of how team loyalties fragment the vast American landscape. Recently, I had my first experience attending a Major League Soccer match here in Orlando. While I have limited knowledge of soccer, I was blown away by the intensity of the crowd and the pageantry of the event. Orlando City SC began play as an expansion team in 2015, and they have already attracted a loud and loyal fan base. The team has two "supporters clubs" that occupy the area known as The Wall at Exploria Stadium. The Wall is a standing-only section behind the goal on the south end of the stadium. Flag waving, drum beating, and chants are seen and heard throughout the duration of the match. I have just begun to consider soccer fanaticism, but my limited experience indicates it's a powerful force—and one that deepens regional identities.
After the Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck announced his retirement, he took out a full page ad in the Indianapolis Star to thank Colts fans. In this message, a man who went to high school in Texas and college at Stanford wrote, "I'm proud to be a Midwesterner, a Hooiser, and a Colt." Luck's message was not addressing all of America or the pundits in the national sports media, it was intended for football fans in the state of Indiana.
If sports fandom teaches us anything about our culture, it is that America may not simply be "one nation," but many regions. In fact, when sports becomes nationalized in America, it tends to get messy and most often political. Think about recent disputes over NFL players kneeling in protest of the national anthem or the US women's soccer team chanting for "equal pay." This may be why sports fans prefer to root for local and regional teams rather than national ones. Fans demonstrate their support through their commitment to their school or their city's franchise, and through opposition to their rivals. While politics today may ask Americans to choose between two factions who battle for control of the levers of national government, this binary choice does not really reflect the way people live and associate within their states and localities. Sports fanaticism may be the best representation of real federalism in America today.

I'm feeling a bit contrarian with this post, Brian. When I think of college and high school teams (not to mention professional teams) something else comes to mind:
•	Misallocation of community tax dollars
•	Misdirection of the populace as to the purpose of education
•	Corruption and cheating scandals in the pursuit of entertainment
•	Bread and Circuses for an increasingly brain-dead citizenry
Me? I'd rather invite friends and neighbors out to the farm for a dinner and conversation on a Saturday evening than turn on the TV and root for the above.
Brian September 26, 2019 At 12:29 pm
Well, most educational institutions of today have been grossly perverted from anything like "the purpose of education" so I'm not sure where they could go much worse. Colleges today actually do a relatively good job at creating a sense of community, but my suspicion is that that's because of the formative ages of students.
Back to sports, as with most everything else, they'd benefit from a move towards the local and the small. I think it'd be salutary to move professional sports to a club system rather than franchises. That would eliminate most of the sort of extortionate behavior that has become common in the last few decades.
Brian Koss September 26, 2019 At 9:08 pm
All good points, Brian. I cannot argue with you on the corruption that exists in college athletics, particularly in regards to recruiting and the money raised by the programs. But, I think these are separate issues. While you may not personally relate to the fanaticism, my goal was primarily to bring attention to what it is and how it impacts the culture. Appreciate you reading and the feedback!
Barbara Castle September 26, 2019 At 8:00 am
Your observations about human behavior are insightful. Our regionalism in sports is useful to our well-being (apart from the corruption mentioned by Miller when the "telos" is infringed upon by capitalism, politics, etc). I think we "act out" rivalry as catharsis in sports which helps to avoid real-life violence. It is a much needed release valve. Even though it drives local education today (which gives the false read-out on the purpose of education) — this too is a distortion of the "good" it can bring to a community. As a widowed mom, it was sports and the coaches that were surrogate fathers for my boys. They taught them character, sportsmanship, teamwork, skill, attitude adjustment, as well as brought discipline to their lives. One of my boys attended a public school, the other one a Christian private school — both included leadership that inculcated the spiritual as well as the gritty practicalities of hormonal-driven youths. High-school sports is something that is a communal good for the most part — returning to us young men with a lot of stories to tell (which gives our lives meaning). In this way, early-on, local sports are more personal and individual. I suppose that regional college sports functions differently in that as you say it "deepens regional identify." The first step is an individual "to" the community and secondly the "community" to the region. At any rate you have given us some interesting considerations today.
Barbara, thank you for reading and for the comments! That was my whole point of the article, to give the reader some interesting things to consider. I thinks sports can have a lot of positive impacts, building local community is one of the big ones in my mind.
Brian D. Miller September 27, 2019 At 3:06 pm
On my other, slightly less contrarian, hand… I have fond memories of us walking through our working-class neighborhood in Knoxville many years ago. We'd be heading out to watch the Knoxville Blue Jays play in Bill Meyer stadium (now torn down). The journey was about six blocks. Along the way we'd stop and visit with friends on their front porch, who often as not would come down and join us.
It was pretty magical to have that stadium in the neighborhood. The left field wall was the Standard Knitting Mill. On break time there would be dozens of mill workers hanging out the open windows, smokes in one hand, cheering on the action on the field.
That had a strong localism core, that stadium. Of course, years later they tore it down to move it to the suburbs chasing dollars. One of their more successful promotions was the monthly Church Bulletin night. Bring a copy of your church bulletin and get in for half price. They would count the bulletins and announce the winner, the church with the most attendees. Always fierce bragging rights among the local churches.
What a great way to spend a fall evening, beer in one hand and a hot dog in the other, chatting with friends.
Brian Koss September 28, 2019 At 6:33 am
This is a great memory you shared! Old stadiums were often built this way, attached to a neighborhood. Like Tiger Stadium was in the Corktown area of Detroit. I am a huge fan of Minor League Baseball. It's actually the primary focus of our work at Legends on Deck.
