BettySoo
Who, in her right mind, drops out of graduate school, chucks a mortgage-paying day job and empties her savings account to launch a music career at the ripe age of 26 — within weeks of writing her first song? BettySoo, that's who. Oh, relax — it worked out OK in the end. Or rather, it's working out for her, given the Austin-based singer-songwriter is eight years into said music career and shows no signs of stopping — not with half a dozen albums to her name, fistfuls of glowing reviews, and an ever-growing international grassroots fan base. With hindsight, the craziest thing about her decision was she didn't do it sooner. But sometimes the pressure of procrastination breeds the best art, as BettySoo discovered by happy accident with the first song she ever wrote. It was early 2004. BettySoo was newly married and pursuing a graduate degree in counseling. She worked for law firms and in vocational ministry, but deep inside she felt another calling: to sing. It was a passion and talent she'd harbored since childhood, but the idea of singing professionally never crossed her mind until her mid-20s. One the idea took root, she couldn't shake it. "I'd decided I wanted to be a singer. Somebody said, 'You need to write songs,' and I was like, 'That's not going to happen,'" BettySoo recalls. "I figured, songs were not pouring out of me; that's not who I am. So I signed up for a songwriting class to meet hungry young songwriters." The class met S...

Chapter 26 – Medical Emergencies
Review of previous edition
The Washington Manual of Therapeutics 33rd Edition There are plenty of medical textbooks around and for good measure, there are plenty of medical websites around as well. So there is no shortage of reference sources for busy doctors, if they need to look up medical information or want to quickly answer a clinical query. This book is now in its 33rd edition and has been established for over 65 years and so should have something to offer a busy medical practitioner. It is certainly fact packed and runs to over 1000 pages but despite that is only marginally bigger than a paperback novel. It can be useful to have on a desk in easy reach during a consultation. It is essentially a very good and trustworthy textbook of clinical medicine, with contributors from a number of specialties.
It is clearly written and although the title says therapeutics, it is an excellent and concise source of clinical information. Despite its American origins, it is highly relevant to UK practice, though there are a number of competitors. The book is mainly text based but the information is delivered in nice and easy digestible small chunks. Good use is made of bullet points and breaking the text up into small sections making this book more accessible and readable.
This makes it is very good, rapid access reference source covering a wide range of medical specialties and issues. I would imagine this would be useful to have in a ward, as well as an outpatient clinic or primary care facility. However, for specific prescribing as far as this country is concerned it is wise to always consult with an established publication like the BNF. I enjoyed reading specific subsections of the book and perhaps it is a sign of the times it has an interesting subsection on emerging infections and bioterrorism.
Despite the extensive breadth of coverage, only important and clinically relevant information is included making this a practical offering for a front line clinician. It represents good value for money and for those that are interested; there is the facility to access the contents of this book in a handheld device. Despite its American origins, I think this book has something to offer a UK audience and deserves consideration, if you are looking for a good value but portable textbook of medicine.

A Giant Asteroid Will Fly Past Earth On Christmas Eve
It's exactly what we asked Santa for
By Sarah Fecht
Here are delay-Doppler images of 2003 SD220 as observed by us at @NAICobservatory these past few nights. pic.twitter.com/iOMXOIiOBy
— Arecibo Radar (@AreciboRadar) December 8, 2015
This year we're getting asteroids for all occasions. First the Halloween asteroid decided to swing by for some trick-or-treat action, and now a Christmas Eve asteroid wants to fill all our stockings with carbonaceous chondrites[^1^](http://www.popsci.com/giant-asteroid-will-fly-past-earth-on-christmas-eve#footnote).
The asteroid 163899, also known as 2003 SD220, will pass by Earth at a harmless distance of 6.7 million miles--that's about 28 times as far as the moon. It's a big asteroid, estimated to be between 0.5 and 1.5 miles wide, and it's zooming around at about 5 miles per second. (Beat that, Rudolph.)
When it passes by on Christmas Eve, you'll need a telescope and some amateur astronomy experience to find it. But no worries, if you miss it, it'll be back again in December of 2018 and 2021. NASA's asteroid radar research group notes:
The 2015 apparition is the first of five encounters by this object in the next 12 years when it will be close enough for a radar detection. By obtaining radar ranging measurements at each observing opportunity, it may be possible to detect non-gravitational perturbations due to the Yarkovsky effect. If so, then we can obtain an estimate of the object's mass, information that is invaluable for understanding the object's bulk density and internal structure.
What we learn from the Christmas Eve asteroid could be particularly important since NASA is thinking about sending humans to it in the decades to come.
[1]: Note: The asteroid is not passing nearly close enough to fill our stockings with rocks, and even if it could, we're not entirely sure they'd be carbonaceous chondrites. However, carbonaceous asteroids make up 75 percent of the asteroids that we know of. They're dark in color and, as the name implies, contain a lot of carbon ... just like a certain Christmas stocking stuffer.

I first spotted the second feline in this series on July 8, 2016; Roly Poly (my nickname) playfully tortured a black cat behind a hedge on Cleveland Ave. just beyond Monroe. Three days ago, and two doors down from that earlier sighting, what could be the same blackie rolled happily on a front lawn. The Featured Image is the last of 11 shots, chosen for the kitty's posture. I cropped but did not otherwise adjust the arguably contrasty composure as captured with Velvia film simulation using Fujifilm X100F.

Flooring Contractor New Jersey: Is it Time to Replace Your Floors?
How do you know when the time has come to replace the floors in your home?
Sign #1. Your floors are outdated.
When your floors are outdated, no amount of time or energy is going to bring them into the 21st century, and your only option is to replace them. But, there is good news! Technology has come a long way, and today's flooring options are better than they've ever been before. Even better, you have the opportunity to replace your outdated floors with something that will never go out of style, like hardwood or tile!
Sign #2. Your floors have significant cracks.
There are many things that can cause cracks to form in your floors, from foundational shifts and soil movements to tree roots and poor craftsmanship. But, regardless of what's causing the cracks in the first place, if there are significant cracks in your floors, it's time to get them replaced. This is true whether you have carpet, vinyl or even hardwood floors.
Sign #3. Your ceiling is leaking.
Believe it or not, in some cases, a ceiling leak may actually be indicative of a big problem with the floor above. When the ceiling is leaking directly below a floor, the likelihood is high that either the subfloor or the floor itself has had extensive water damage. Water damage spells trouble for any floor, which brings us to our next sign.
Sign #4. Your floors have had severe water damage.
There are water stains on the floor.
The floor is visibly rotting.
Sign #5. Your floors have permanent pet stains.
Although we all love our pets dearly, they can certainly do a number on our floors. This is especially true when you're in the midst of potty training a new kitten or puppy. The damage caused by our pets can quickly get out of control, and if it's not addressed promptly enough, it could become permanent. If the professionals haven't had any success getting pet stains out of your floors, then it's time to get them replaced.
Has the time come to replace your floors?
If so, you've come to the right place. We are Floor Expo, and we're proud to be your go-to flooring contractors in New Jersey and beyond. In our showroom, you'll find a huge selection of flooring materials, including laminate, tile, vinyl, hardwood, carpet and more. Stop by our showroom today or contact our experts for your free design consultation. And, to learn about more signs that it's time to replace the floors in your home, please make sure that you stay tuned for our next blog!


Dan O'Brien finished 42nd overall (and second in his age group) in the RBC Decathlon on Sunday. His old rival, Dave Johnson, did not finish.
O'Brien and Johnson reunited to compete against each other (and more than 80 Wall Street professionals) in a unique decathlon in New York. They believed they had not gone head to head since the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials.
O'Brien's best finish against the field was a tie for fourth in the 40-yard dash. The fastest posted 40 time was a 4.28 from Greg Stripe, a former Lafayette wide receiver. That's .04 of a second slower than the NFL Combine record.
The 1992 Olympic decathlon bronze medalist Johnson aggravated a hamstring injury on the football throw. He launched it 74 yards, though, tops among all competitors.
Dan & Dave was a popular ad campaign leading into the 1992 Olympics, but O'Brien no-heighted in the pole vault at the Olympic Trials and missed the Olympic Team.
Former St. Louis Rams safety Mark Rubin won the overall RBC Decathlon for the third straight year.

Welfare and Behaviour
Improving fish welfare
A new way to help fish recover from long-haul travels
Transporting your new pet fish can often be a stressful, and very slow, car ride home. Trying desperately to keep the water still as your new companion bobs around helplessly. What you may not realise however, is your pet has already survived a greater journey against all odds. Sometimes up to 80% of ornamental fish die during transit; it is clear these practices need to be changed.
Jason McNeill, mature student from the University of the West of Scotland, former restaurant head-chef and accomplished magician, has been diving in to his summer internship with The Fisheries Society of the British Isles (FSBI). Researching the welfare of small Orandas (Carassius auratus), which are very similar to the common goldfish, transported within the pet industry.
Fish welfare research tends to focus on commercial aquaculture, where improvements in diet and husbandry directly improve product quality for human consumption. When it comes to companion animals, however, we know comparatively little about their welfare needs. Fish are in fact the third most popular pet in the UK, found in nearly 10% of households. One home aquarium can potentially contain many fish, so they are also by far the most numerous companion animals held in captivity; 20-25 million compared to 9 million dogs and 8 million cats.
Jason's internship, supported by Pets at Home and WALTHAM, tracked the arrival of pet fish into the UK from farms in Singapore. The project looked at how fish behave, as a tool to monitor welfare. This could help the team better understand how the set-up of a tank on arrival at the pet shop could affect recovery from a journey. Almost twenty hours of video recordings were made. Using these, Jason hopes to determine if post-travel recovery is altered depending on whether fish are housed alone, or with other settled Orandas. Jason's co-researchers on the project are PhD Student Myriam Vanderzwalmen and Dr Kath Sloman.
The opportunity has changed Jason's perceptions of academic and scientific research. "Learning and performing a variety of lab techniques and procedures has been hugely beneficial to me as a student. Although I have learnt academia and scientific research is full of challenges and obstacles, overcoming these is part of the job. I think that has been my biggest learning: determination is the key to success. One such obstacle was the day the dry ice delivery failed to show. We had to think quickly to prevent degradation of our water samples before they made it back to the lab. Luckily we were able to use a cold storage solution successfully- otherwise it would have meant repeating a whole day's work"
"My plan for the future is not yet defined, though increasingly I think I would like to pursue a career in animal behaviour. This internship has given me an eye opening introduction in to the work that can be done, and the impact we can have on animals' lives. I hope that once the analysis of my data is complete in 2018, we will be able to identify certain tank set-ups which reduce stress behaviours, such as high ventilation rates, and high biting and chasing behaviours. My hope is this research will then be used to advise pet shops in how to house fish, post-transport, to improve their welfare."

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ***SOLD***: Sig P556 Upper.
Up for sale is a Sig P556 upper, of 2012 vintage. It was used to create an SBR, and is therefore engraved with my NFA trust info. That fact is reflected in the price. You can probably black it out with a black touch up pen. This upper alone is not NFA! Once it is separated from its lower, it's handled just like any other pistol. On the Sig 556 line, the upper is the serialized part, so this will have to ship to your FFL.
All of that said, it is a complete upper. All you have to do is slap on your pistol lower and you are good to go. It has 500 rounds down the pipe with no issues.
It is coming installed with the Troy Battlerail (250 bucks alone), the Troy folding battle sights, and a Smith Enterprises Vortex flash hider.
This is available again. Buyer backed out saying that his dealer told him that it always has to be treated as an NFA item once it becomes one. This is patently false. I even provided the ATF words to prove otherwise, but he's going with what his dealer incorrectly told him.
This is not an NFA item.


What's taking so long for West Virginia to get up to speed?
The first two weeks of November were the busiest yet for the young West Virginia sports betting industry.
State-regulated operators took in more than $6 million in wagers across that span, recording the first $3 million week since the Aug. 30 launch. Though the numbers look decent in isolation, they don't show the sharp growth some some had projected for WV sports betting.
A lengthy delay in the rollout of online/mobile options continues to act as an artificial ceiling, limiting total sports betting handle. Nearly three months after launch, only one brick-and-mortar sportsbook took action from locals.
Factor in an unusually hot streak for bettors, and WV books are down more than $400,000 to begin the month.
Hollywood Casino enjoyed a short head start in the market before FanDuel Sportsbook joined in mid-September. The latter is situated behind the private gates of The Greenbrier, so Hollywood still operates the lone public sportsbook in the state.
With in-person wagering as the only option, action at FanDuel Sportsbook is negligible. It wrote less than $150,000 in tickets during each of the first two weeks of November.
Compounded by additional losses last month, the book has earned a total of $4,619.99 in revenue since launch at The Greenbrier — about $500 per week.
That number should get itself onto a better track once the marketplace fills in, but the clock is ticking. Though all five WV casinos are approved to offer sports betting, timelines for the other three have been sliding in the wrong direction.
Delaware North owns both Mardi Gras and Wheeling Island, and it has a WV sports betting partnership with Miomni that covers all channels. Miomni does not currently provide an end-to-end solution in the US, though, and the duo wasn't ready for the testing initially scheduled in October.
Mountaineer Casino was the last to apply for a license about a month ago, but now accepts wagers.
Of course, the lack of greater expansion is probably just fine with Hollywood. Vice President of Racing & Sports Operations Erich Zimny said his team is "absolutely pleased" with the performance to date.
Zimny also noted that customers are becoming more familiar with the "sports betting vocabulary," which eases operations.
It is hard to squawk too much about linear growth, but comparisons against other markets do suggest a missed opportunity.
In New Jersey, for example, online/mobile betting already accounts for a full two thirds of all traffic. Since digital launch, NJ sports betting numbers have grown at a pace that looks more exponential than linear.
The fact that WV has suddenly lost its regional monopoly should create more urgency, too.
Pennsylvania just launched its own state-regulated industry last week, and odds are it will have digital platforms up and running before its mountainous neighbor. Expect PA sports betting to pull traffic across the border — reversing any previous flow — until both states can offer bettors the same choices.
The source of the delay in WV still isn't clear, but it's unlikely to originate with the existing operators. Both FanDuel Sportsbook and William Hill are up and running elsewhere, and both are approved to operate their platforms within West Virginia.
Incidentally, DraftKings Sportsbook also has its permit to operate WV sports betting. It was one of the first approved, in fact, but it still needs a partner to pave its path into the market.
The WV Lottery, which administers sports betting in the state, did not return a Monday request for comment on the online/mobile timeline.


As the name suggests this was the stable; its original cobbled floor was raised during renovation and the cobbles can now be seen re-laid within the courtyard. Back in the time before tractors, horses were an important part of life on the farm; they were used to carry out the heavy work, ploughing the land, etc. 'Daisy' and 'Brown' were the last of the large working horses to inhabit the stable, we found a couple of horseshoes which have been placed on the window cill outside as good luck charms.
Attractive slate steps with a metal handrail lead up to the front door which opens directly into a light spacious lounge/kitchen/dining area.
The cosy bedroom has a double brass & iron bedstead featuring a beautiful antique Welsh quilt and crisp cotton bedlinen. The adjacent bathroom is fully tiled and includes a shower, toilet and wash hand basin.
The back door leads directly out from the lounge onto a private patio area with views of the hillside above. You can sit on the wooden garden furniture and watch the red kites, buzzards and other birds soaring in the skies above, see the sheep grazing and observe the wildlife.

Book review: Becca Fitzpatrick's "Hush, Hush"
February 14, 2011 Ronald	7 Comments
Want to know what I found out this morning? This is what I found out.
If you're too lazy to click on the link, it's a campaign to get "Hush, Hush" author Becca Fitzpatrick over here to our fair islands. Our fair capital is leading the survey, but the Fitzpatrick fans want to make sure the deal is locked down.
If the country does win, I will end up interviewing Fitzpatrick. There's no two-ways around it. And while I have no trouble talking to her, I may have some trouble not being critical of her writing.
You see, I hate "Hush, Hush". Hate it, hate it, hate it. I hate it so much I talked to Lauren Kate about it, which turned out to be a horrible decision since the two of them are friends. I hate it so much, I take every possible opportunity to tell my friends and anybody who'll listen not to read it.
I hate it so much I wrote a review about it for a newspaper
In this post-"Twilight " world, everyone is intent on finding out the next big thing in young adult supernatural romance. It seems everywhere one looks there is a new book about a paranormal being engaged in a possibly doomed romance with a human teenager.
Some authors have certainly succeeded in bringing other supernatural creatures into the public consciousness. Maggie Stiefvater's "Shiver" takes a fresh look at the werewolf mythos and even has an engaging love story to boot, while Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's "Beautiful Creatures" has witches and page-turning plot complications.
Hoping to achieve the same measure of success is first-time author Becca Fitzpatrick, who brings to tween and teen readers "Hush," Hush", a novel about a fallen angel and the irresistible attraction that springs between him and a normal teenage girl.
"Hush, Hush" begins in the 16th century, when a young French nobleman finds himself accosted by a mysterious creature who extracts an oath of fealty from him. The book then jumps to the present time, where Nora Grey, the book's heroine, finds herself a new biology partner in the form of transfer student, Patch Cipriano.
The first meeting between the two doesn't go smoothly. Patch refuses to cooperate with Nora on their biology assignment, and is even belligerent towards Nora, arguing with her and teasing her relentlessly. But even with this bad first impression, Nora can't help
but be drawn to Patch.
However, this attraction may not be to Nora's advantage, because as soon as Patch comes into her life strange things start happening to her. She becomes the focus of several attacks, most of which happen whenever Patch is around. She can't shake the feeling of being watched, and as the attacks come closer and closer to home, Nora must
find the truth about Patch before she ends up losing her own life.
But when Nora does find out the truth about Patch, her feelings for him, and the connection she shares with the French nobleman mentioned at the beginning of the book, she finds herself in an even deeper conundrum. Is she willing to make the ultimate sacrifice if it means the fulfillment of the dream of the one she loves?
In theory, "Hush, Hush" seems like a sure thing. The heroine is constantly in distress, providing plenty of opportunities for the dashing hero to swoop in, save her, and make himself even more attractive to the book's intended audience. Its focus on fallen angels
makes it stand out among the vampires and werewolves currently prowling the young adult bestsellers list, and gives Fitzpatrick lots of opportunity to adapt an established mythos to modern sensibilities.
On paper, however, "Hush, Hush" falls flat. As soon as Patch is introduced to the readers, less than 20 pages into the novel, he is already lobbing innuendos as Nora, and he never lets up throughout the book. Fitzpatrick has barely built up Patch as a character but she already expects the readers to let Patch put his tongue in their mouth. Rather than make Patch look like a dashing bad boy, Fitzpatrick has instead succeeded in making him look like that sleazy classmate you always try to avoid sitting beside with in class.
And it's not like Nora is any better as a character. If readers complained about the lack of depth in Twilight's Bella, they have even more cause for concern in the character of Nora Grey. At the very least, Bella had enough character to be irritating. Nora is such a badly written character that it seems as if she was just written to float stupidly along with the plot points Fitzpatrick has devised to move the story along.
The plot itself is a convoluted mass that never seems to pull itself together long enough to make sense. Situations feel fake and put on, and the amount of eye-rolling readers will be doing just to stomach Fitzpatrick's "plot" will be enough to give him a migraine. There is
barely any characterization, and at no popint in the narrative do you feel concern for anybody. And the one thing that would have set "Hush, Hush" apart – the mythology of fallen angels – is tacked on haphazardly at various points in the novel just so their presence in the book can be justified.
With a poorly-executed plot, unsympathetic central characters, and a romantic relationship that will leave readers feeling sleazy rather than swoony, one wonders what it is that teenagers see in "Hush, Hush". Readers looking for a love story to lose themselves in are better served buying something else.

ronreads says:
I TOTALLY DID NOT NOTICE THAT.
I completely agree. Honestly i loved the cover and i read the book thinking 'wow, this is an interesting and controversial topic. let's see that the author does with it.' and i'm completely disappointed. The characters are about as flat as a sheet of paper! She has so much potential with the plot and the ties to old christian/jewish texts, but she blew it. what's worse she wasnt even accurate with the religion aspects, leaving her completely insensitive to the beliefs of millions! A fallen angel? Sure. Bad Nephils? Okay. But really? The angel of death swooping to earth to kill her ex's love interest? And where the hell does she go anyway? She gets her wings ripped off and then…bygones? what? And this whole plotting against archangels and stuff, it's like, where's the Head Hauncho in all this? He doesnt get a say?
And what's than THAT, Nora never even thinks about it! Wow, my boyfriends my guardian angel that still wants to rip off my clothes and ruin my purity and he can't even feel it anyways? Cool! Like, absoluteeeely no character depth or speculation at all. It was pathetic. I wish someone could take the plot and rewrite the book for her. It pisses me off that this made best seller, but you know what it was? The shirtless guy on the front. that's why i read it. i'm glad it was from a library so i didn't waste a single cent.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY READING THIS BOOK PEOPLE, IF YOU'RE TOO CURIOUS, THEN GO TO THE LIBRARY. I cannot believe someone published this, what's more, I cannot believe people are paying for it. 'Nuff said.
Can I just say I absolutely LOVE how angry this book made you? XD I'M NOT ALONE!

FEAR NOT! THE BOOK OF REVELATION
September 13 began our journey through the book of Revelation. We started by looking at the first three chapters in September and October. After a break in November and December, we're returning to Revelation in January and will complete it on Palm Sunday in March. This has been an exciting sermon series and praying it will continue to be a tremendous encouragement as it reminds us that God is in final control of all things!
Full sermon recordings from both campuses are available at https://bluevalleybaptist.org/resources/sermons/
Our elders have been unanimous in opinion and consistent in our commitment to comply with government orders concerning the virus and exercising recommended guidelines that create a safe environment on our campuses. While wearing a mask everywhere is certainly isn't something any of us would choose, it is what we are being asked to do for the welfare of our community and followers of Jesus need to lead the way.
Therefore, everyone age 6 and up will need a mask to enter our campuses and will need to keep them on unless seated with at least six feet of social distance between them and the nearest person/family.

Q: specific user data using Spring 3 REST I'm trying to find the standard way to handle user authentication in a RESTful webservice using spring.
i want to allow a LOGGED IN user to access only specific information that applies to him.
i found 2 ways of doing that:

*

*using HandlerInterceptorAdapter i can take the HttpServletResponse and from it i can take the session. in the session i can save the user and that way i can know if he's logged in and if i can deliver him the data he's requesting.

*i can create tables in my database that'll contain tokens. when a user logs in he'll receive a token. he'll have to provide that token every time he asks for any information.

what is the standard way of doing that ?
thanks !

A: You should look at Spring Security

Q: How to Write AWS Glue Script to Insert New Data into a Redshift Table I'm brand new to AWS Glue and want to create a job that will take a SQL script I've written (an INSERT INTO statement) and populate an empty table I have in Redshift. Is this possible? If so, what is the syntax?
I've started with a test case. Copy data from one table in my Redshift to another.
This is the script proposed by AWS. I selected the "Change Schema" option because I wanted to create a new target dataset.
import sys
from awsglue.transforms import *
from awsglue.utils import getResolvedOptions
from pyspark.context import SparkContext
from awsglue.context import GlueContext
from awsglue.job import Job

## @params: [TempDir, JOB_NAME]
args = getResolvedOptions(sys.argv, ['TempDir','JOB_NAME'])

sc = SparkContext()
glueContext = GlueContext(sc)
spark = glueContext.spark_session
job = Job(glueContext)
job.init(args['JOB_NAME'], args)
## @type: DataSource
## @args: [database = "dev", table_name = "patients", redshift_tmp_dir = TempDir, transformation_ctx = "datasource0"]
## @return: datasource0
## @inputs: []
datasource0 = glueContext.create_dynamic_frame.from_catalog(database = "dev", table_name = "patients", redshift_tmp_dir = args["TempDir"], transformation_ctx = "datasource0")
## @type: ApplyMapping
## @args: [mapping = [("birthdate", "string", "date of birth", "string"), ("_id", "string", "patient id", "string"), ("name_middle", "string", "patient middle name", "string"), ("gender", "string", "gender", "string"), ("name_family", "string", "patient last name", "string"), ("name_given", "string", "patient first name", "string")], transformation_ctx = "applymapping1"]
## @return: applymapping1
## @inputs: [frame = datasource0]
applymapping1 = ApplyMapping.apply(frame = datasource0, mappings = [("birthdate", "string", "date of birth", "string"), ("_id", "string", "patient id", "string"), ("name_middle", "string", "patient middle name", "string"), ("gender", "string", "gender", "string"), ("name_family", "string", "patient last name", "string"), ("name_given", "string", "patient first name", "string")], transformation_ctx = "applymapping1")
## @type: SelectFields
## @args: [paths = ["gender", "patient middle name", "patient last name", "patient first name", "patient id", "date of birth"], transformation_ctx = "selectfields2"]
## @return: selectfields2
## @inputs: [frame = applymapping1]
selectfields2 = SelectFields.apply(frame = applymapping1, paths = ["gender", "patient middle name", "patient last name", "patient first name", "patient id", "date of birth"], transformation_ctx = "selectfields2")
## @type: ResolveChoice
## @args: [choice = "MATCH_CATALOG", database = "dev", table_name = "patients_info", transformation_ctx = "resolvechoice3"]
## @return: resolvechoice3
## @inputs: [frame = selectfields2]
resolvechoice3 = ResolveChoice.apply(frame = selectfields2, choice = "MATCH_CATALOG", database = "dev", table_name = "patients_info", transformation_ctx = "resolvechoice3")
## @type: ResolveChoice
## @args: [choice = "make_cols", transformation_ctx = "resolvechoice4"]
## @return: resolvechoice4
## @inputs: [frame = resolvechoice3]
resolvechoice4 = ResolveChoice.apply(frame = resolvechoice3, choice = "make_cols", transformation_ctx = "resolvechoice4")
## @type: DataSink
## @args: [database = "dev", table_name = "patients_info", redshift_tmp_dir = TempDir, transformation_ctx = "datasink5"]
## @return: datasink5
## @inputs: [frame = resolvechoice4]
datasink5 = glueContext.write_dynamic_frame.from_catalog(frame = resolvechoice4, database = "dev", table_name = "patients_info", redshift_tmp_dir = args["TempDir"], transformation_ctx = "datasink5")
job.commit()

And then I tried a simple use case that still failed:
import sys
from awsglue.transforms import *
from awsglue.utils import getResolvedOptions
from pyspark.context import SparkContext
from awsglue.context import GlueContext
from awsglue.job import Job

glueContext = GlueContext(SparkContext.getOrCreate())

persons = glueContext.create_dynamic_frame.from_catalog(
    database = "dev",
    table_name = "patients",
    redshift_tmp_dir = args["TempDir"],
    additional_options = {"aws_iam_role": "arn:aws:iam::account-id:role/role-name"})

print "Count: ", persons.count()
persons.printSchema()

A: You should not be considering "insert into" as a way to write data to redshift, it is very slow.
The correct process is:

*

*Write data to s3

*Copy data from s3 into redshift using redshift COPY command

You should read this AWS doc carefully.

Dear Scholastic, What's Up With the Leveled Catalogues?
Disclaimer first: I love Scholastic and have for many years. The ease of getting books in the hands of my students, the shiny catalogues that stop our day because we have to circle all of the books we want to read, and also the prices. Scholastic has indeed been good for this teacher. And yet, Scholastic I may have to break it off with you….
Their grade does not define them. My students read all sorts of books and not because they are "just right" based on an assessment, but because they are just right in interest, in action, in creativity, in mood, in readability. They don't pick a book because it is perfect for 5th grade. They pick a book because it is perfect for them.
And yet they know their grade. Some of my 5th graders wouldn't be caught dead reading something someone had labeled a 4th grade book. Even if it was a great book. Even if I thrust it into their hands and told them to trust me. By splashing 4th grade or 3rd grade all over your many colored pages, you have guaranteed that some of my kids will never consider reading those books simply because they are too proud to read something that is labeled for younger kids. And what about when they become 6th graders? Do you think they then want to read 5th grade books? No, that would be for elementary students, not the big middle school students. I am saddened by the books they will miss out on.
And me? I had to pretend I was a 4th, 5th ,and 6th grade teacher to get the catalogues that I want for my students. See some need 4th grade reading levels, while others are ready for middle school action and stories. And I need to be able to supply them that. Yet, I don't know if I can give them the catalogues anymore, I don't know quite what will happen if they see the push for standardized testing and the need to level. Will they think that reading is only for tests? Will they think that they can only read certain books because that's what someone told them?
I don't think I am ready to take them down that path. I hope you change your mind, Scholastic, perhaps put the levels on the teacher part but not on the flyers. Perhaps, go back to your old ways that were not broken. You don't have to follow all of the crazy fads happening around us, it is okay to just love reading and let kids love reading too. I haven't lost the faith in you yet.
Edit: It is not every day you receive a phone call from Scholastic headquarters, but today I did. After a very pleasant conversation with them regarding my latest blog posts, I hung up the phone understanding that they are trying to please many people at the same time. I was also told that many teachers and parents had asked for the recent changes, which had led them go through with it. Their intentions were to help. Yet, I stand by what I have posted and told them that many agree with me; this is not what we had hoped for from this bastion of reading. While I doubt my posts will change their minds, I urge you to start your own conversation with them. They are there to discuss and listen and perhaps if enough of us do engage, something will change. Either way, I continue to respect Scholastic and what they strive to do: provide teachers with great books, even if I am disappointed in their choice.
Great post! The obsession with levels is problematic on many levels. One line of yours leaves me with a question: "I know their level but they don't, they don't need to to know what they need to do become even stronger readers"… I love that you keep the levels to yourself, but shouldn't they actually know what they need to improve at to keep progressing as a reader? I'm sure that your mini-lessons, objectives, and conferences do provide that information. Maybe that sentence can be taken too many different ways?
Again, I hope Scholastic listens! Great read!
Ah yes, sorry about the ambiguity. My students know their goals but I don't ever tell them their number or letter, if that makes sense? Those numbers and letters are abstract to them anyway so we create steps they need to take instead. Thank you for asking!
I'm so happy I was told about your blog. Brilliant and logical. Scholastic, listen up. She's got such wonderful points. She makes sense.
Thank you so much for saying exactly what I was thinking! I hope that Scholastic hears this loud and clear.
I really hope they respond with action! If they must put levels, I agree that the teacher version is adequate for that.
Please tell me you sent them a copy and didn't just put it in a blog post. This needs to be heard and acted upon! Great post. Same reasons I don't have levelled books labelled in a bin in my library.
Well said. I was sorely disappointed when I returned to school this week and found the new Scholastic order forms. In disgust I tossed them in the trash after I sent a message to the company. New and improved is not always better. This is just another effect from the Common Core.
As a public librarian, I have a different view of the problem, but I wholeheartedly agree with you! While students' levels are not necessarily a primary concern of mine, I am constantly asked "Where are the third grade books?" "Where are AR3 level books?" "Where are GRL P books?" These questions come from parents and students who expect us to know each school district's preferred leveling system. Students not required to read "on level" are thrilled when I explain that they are free to choose from all books in the children's department, and I will happily offer suggestions. Some are frustrated that we do not shelve our books by levels. Others are miserable when they know that they are supposed to know their reading level but can't remember it, and are then paralyzed by indecision and unable to make a choice. Adding to the problem is the fact that publishers often label their books as one level or another, but neglect to offer easy-to-find information on what system was used to level them. I apologize for my lengthy response, but this is a definite sore spot with me as well. In closing, I would like to point you to a post about my daughter and the story of her personal choice at 4-years-old to choose an over-sized book that was five grade levels above her reading ability. http://kidlitwhm.blogspot.com/2013/03/yes-you-can.html I will add that as I write, she is preparing for her first day at work as a college intern at NASA's Johnson Space Flight Center as she soars one semester closer to her career as an aerospace engineer.
I respectfully disagree. Students being made aware of what level each book is doesn't seem to be much different than being given a rubric for their assignments. Why would that be problematic?
I believe that the problem is in limiting a child to a particular level. Just as adults sometimes want to read "beach trash," and at other times want to read classics, children enjoy having a choice as well. As for offering students only a particular grade level catalog, I don't think anyone likes to be pigeonholed into a particular category – reading or otherwise.
For myself, the problem I see is that the "5th grade" catalog has a narrower range of book levels included. When you have a classroom of readers who can read from a 3rd grade to high school level, being able to offer a wide variety of books at many levels on many topics is the best. When your Scholastic catalog is so tightly focused the readers on the edges of the bell curve are not included.
I feel a rubric is used to be clear with assignment expectations. A good rubric is still open with student choice and HOW they create their artifact. Always seeking out books based on a number is boxing students and teachers into a one size fits all. No matter the topic of the book or genre. There is little to zero student choice.
I wasn't happy with this change either! My 6th graders will miss out out a lot of good books if they are limited to the middle school flyer!
I teach 6 th grade and agree with you also. I was disappointed to see the "new alignment" of catalogues. To get my kids to read, the choices must be endless.. Not limited to a grade level. We are on the same page about not identifying kids by a level or color dot.. In 6 th grade they need to read.. My job is to guide them to enjoy the book choice and be able to get through it.. Whatever level that may be..
Lovely thoughts, Pernille. I agree 110%. Any effort to restrict titles and book selection for students is poorly conceived. If the teacher & parents are doing their job, they should be an active participant in helping the student find books & subject areas that are to their interest. We don't need additional catalogs and stamps to increase the leveling craze that is already at damaging levels. I think this decision by Scholastic will only fuel the focus on numbers from all angles. The moment leveling and grade-level categories become the focus, it's not about reading anymore. Rather finding a title that fits the score that the student scored on a test that tested their reading ability. Most often from a title they did not choose or have much interest.

Yes, you can most certainly come up with your own riecpes.One of the funnest things when I bartended was to try to create new drinks.Sometimes the bartenders would get together and discuss coming up with new drinks for house specials.Other times we would try to create new ones to send in to Bartender magazine to see if they would publish them.Knowing all the different liquors and liqueurs and mixers helps a lot as you know what they taste like and what would be a good mix or blend of flavors.Then there is the fun of naming your concoction. You can come up with some strange names-Funky Monkey, Windsail, Texas Hold Em', Barfly, whatever you can think up.There are a lot of standardized riecpes for drinks, many have been around for years and years. Like a Singapore Sling is pretty standard but a Zombie, Hurricane or a Blue Hawaiian is mainly rum and fruit juices and knowing what color to make it. Sometimes the difference is just floating a little 151 rum on top.Take a Long Island Iced Tea. It usually is three white liquors(vodka,gin and rum), triple sec, sweet and sour juice and a splash of coke for the color. Add tequilla and you have a Texas Tea. Use 7-up instead of coke and you have an Electric Lemonade. Take a White Russian and splash it with coke and you have a Colorado Bulldog.The majority of drink riecpes are loose and vary greatly. I know there are a lot of books and websites out there that profess to give you the actual riecpes. Most were written either by bartenders or researched by authors who asked bartenders. Depending on where the bartender worked, you can have conflicting riecpes.A good bartender tries to memorize as many riecpes as he/she can. Good ones also keep a small card file for drinks that are not asked for often and add to it every time they learn of a new recipe. A lot of times the recipe is something they already know with a slight variation.To sum it up, yes, create your own riecpes and experiment with them. If you like the way it tastes, you have a good recipe. Be sure to name it.Have fun, be safe!

Launch of Apple's new iMac lineup is 'imminent' - report
Sam Oliver | Sep 07, 2012
Apple is set to launch a new lineup of iMac desktops in the near future, with a debut now "imminent," according to a new report.
Citing "multiple sources," Clayton Morris of Fox News reported on Friday that Apple is prepared to launch new models in the near future, but declined to offer a specific timeframe. He cited as recent evidence the fact that supply of Apple's larger 27-inch iMac models has been dwindling at Apple's retail stores and third-party resellers.
"It's possible the iMac announcement could happen at the rumored October iPad mini announcement, but I'm not holding my breath for that," Morris wrote. "Apple has been known to update the desktops without much fanfare."
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said late last month that two new iMac models would be among 8 new product launches from Apple this fall. He estimated that both a 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac will be available before the end of October.
However, he also indicated that the new iMacs will not feature high-resolution Retina displays like the newly updated 15-inch MacBook Pro. But the refreshed iMacs are expected to have a redesigned exterior with an improved "full-lamination process" for the screen's cover glass.
That new production method is apparently more difficult for the larger 27-inch iMac, which reportedly has a lower production yield rate than the 21.5-inch model.
The new iMacs are also expected to feature Intel's latest-generation Ivy Bridge processors, as well as USB 3.0 ports and expanded solid-state drive capacities. Morris said Friday that the design will also be slimmer thanks to Apple removing the dedicated optical drive.
Last month, AppleInsider was first to report on configuration files found in Apple's Mountain Lion operating system that make apparent references to an unreleased new generation of all-in-one iMac desktops. Those references make mention of USB booting options that were seen as potentially indicating that the new machines could lack built-in optical drives for the first time.

I can't wait! It'll be my first direct desktop purchase since I started using notebooks way back in the late 90's.

"Imminent." He's stirring the masses to a feverish pitch with this talk. Citing information derived from Apple's online store doesn't add any more evidence.
I'm breathlessly waiting with card in hand ("SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!") but this is just cruel to say that this is news.
tallest skil
This iMac update is a long time coming. It'll be a good update, too: Ivy Bridge, new GPUs, standard bumps to HDD and RAM, no optical drive, USB 3, maybe the number of Thunderbolt upped to 2 and 3, respectively.
But does anyone else think that people might hold off on it because it won't be getting a retina display?
ajitmd
I think that leaving out the DVD drive out of the iMac may be premature. I still rent DVDs, and even BluRay. With such a nice display, it makes fun watching movies on the 27" iMac and it is better than my regular HDTV. More so when Apple introduces Retina Display.
fairthrope
What would happen if 'It's Almost There' sign is actually for iMac, and not iPhone?

Q: To select Value From Datatable In the below code I have a datatable I want to select a value from datatable and to check whether value exists or not, but it throws error:

The best overloaded method match for System.Data.DataTable.Select(string) has some invalid argument "," cannot convert from bool to string

Please help me to solve the issue.
Student Details = new Student ();

DataSet ds = Details.Marks();

DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0];

if (dt.Select("RollNo =" != txtRgNo.Text.ToString()) ||
    dt.Select("Name=" != txtName.Text.ToString()))
{
}
else
{
}

A: Student Details = new Student ();
DataSet ds = Details.Marks();

DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0];

DataRow dr1=dt.Select("RollNo!= " + txtRgNo.Text.ToString());
DataRow dr2=dt.Select("Name !="+  txtName.Text.ToString())
if (dr1.Length>0 ||dr2.Length>0 )
{
}
else
{
}

A: The DataTable's "Select()" method uses a filter expression. As a sample you can use the following to query for specific RollNo, and it returns DataRow array. If DataRow returns more than one elements, then it exists. Otherwise, it does not exist.
        int rollNumber = 1;
        string filterExpression = string.Format("RollNo = {0}", rollNumber);
        DataRow[] rows = dt.Select(filterExpression);
        if (rows != null && rows.Length > 0)
        {
            //Exists
        }
        else
        {
            //Does not exists
        }

A complete filter expression in your case would be like:
string filterExpression = string.Format("RollNo <> {0} AND Name <> '{1}'", txtRgNo.Text.ToString(), txtName.Text.ToString());

Additional reference to use DataTable.Select():
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/det4aw50(v=vs.110).aspx

A: != should be part of the string filter you are sending to DataTable.Select but it's also not the correct operator to use. See this link.
Your code should be similar to this:
dt.Select("RollNo <> " & txtRgNo.Text.ToString())

A: You can use the Linq Queries to select and filter any fields like this:
Student Details = new Student();

DataSet ds = Details.Marks();

DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0];

if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
    var result = from d in dt.AsEnumerable()
                 where d["RollNo"].ToString() == txtRgNo.Text &&
                       d["Name"].ToString() == txtName.Text
                 select new
                 {
                     RollNo = d.Field<int>("RollNo"),
                     Name = d.Field<string>("Name")
                 };

    if (result.Any())
    {
        // results is not empty ...
    }
}

Sofreu vários atentados por parte da Alianza Anticomunista Argentina (Triple A), como os Massacres de La Plata e General Pacheco. Muitos de seus militantes foram assassinados ou presos durante a ditadura militar Argentina entre 1976 y 1983 (site Nahuel Moreno).

Com o fim da ditadura, em 1982 muda seu nome para Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). Seus dirigentes mais importantes, além de Nahuel Moreno, foram, entre muitos, Petizo Paez (SITRAC-SITRAM) e César Robles, assassinado pela AAA (site Nahuel Moreno).

Antecedentes

From Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 18 May 1797
To James Madison
Philadelphia May 18. 97.
I was informed on my arrival here that Genl. Pinckney's dispatches had on their first receipt excited in the administration a great deal of passion: that councils were held from day to day, and their ill temper fixed at length in war; that under this impression Congress was called: that the tone of the party in general became high, and so continued till the news of the failure of the bank of England. This first gave it a check, and a great one and they have been cooling down ever since. The most intemperate only still asking permission to arm their vessels for their own defence, while the more prudent disapprove of putting it in the power of their brethren and leaving to their discretion to begin the war for us. The impression was too that the executive had for some time been repenting that they had called us, and wished the measure undone. All the members from North as well as South concurred in attesting that negociation or any thing rather than war was the wish of their constitutents. What was our surprise then at recieving the speech which will come to you by this post. I need make no observations to you on it. I believe there was not a member of either house, out of the secret, who was not much disappointed. However some had been prepared. The spirit of supporting the Executive was immediately given out in the lower house and is working there. The Senate admits of no fermentation. Tracy, Laurence and Livermore were appointed to draw an answer for them, Venable, Freeman, Rutledge, Griswald and for the representatives. The former will be reported to day, and will be in time to be inclosed: the other not till tomorrow when the post will be gone. We hope this last will be in general terms, but this is not certain, a majority as is believed (of the committee) being for arming the merchantmen, finishing the frigates, fortifying harbors, and making all other military preparations, as an aid to negociation. How the majority of the house will be is very doubtful. If all were here, it is thought it would be decidedly pacific, but all are not here and will not be here. The division on the choice of a clerk was 41. for Condy, 40 for Beckley. Besides the loss of the ablest clerk in the US. and the outrage committed on the absent members, prevented by the suddenness of the call and their distance from being here on the 1st. day of the session, it excites a fear that the republican interest has lost by the new changes. It is said that three from Virginia separate from their brethren. The hope however is that as the Antirepublicans take the high ground of war, and their opponents are for every thing moderate, that the most moderate of those who came under contrary dispositions will join them. Langdon tells me there is a considerable change working in the minds of the people to the Eastward: that the idea that they have been decieved begins to gain ground, and that were the elections to be now made their result would be considerably different. This however is doubted and denied by others. France has asked of Holland to send away our minister from them and to treat our commerce on the plan of their late decree. The Batavian government answered after due consideration that their commerce with us was now their chief commerce, that their money was in our funds, that if they broke off correspondence with us they should be without resources for themselves, for their own public and for France, and therefore declined doing it. France acquiesced. I have this from the President who had it from his son still at the Hague. I presume that France has made the same application to Spain. For I know that Spain has memorialized our Executive against the effect of the British treaty, as to the articles concerning neutral bottoms, contraband, and the Missisipi, has been pressing for an answer and has not yet been able to obtain one. It does not seem candid to have kept out of sight in the speech this discontent of Spain which is strongly and seriously pronounced and to have thereby left it to be imagined that France is the only power of whom we are in danger.—The failure of the bank of England, and the fear of having a paper tender there, has stopped buying bills of exchange. Specie is raked up from all quarters, and remitted for paiments at a disadvantage from risks &c of 20. per cent. The bankruptcies here have been immense. I heard a sensible man well acquainted with them conjecture that the aggregate of the clear losses on all these added together in all the states would be not less than 10. millions of Dollars. A heavy tax indeed, to which are to be added the maritime spoliations, and this tax falling on only a particular description of citizens.—Bills of lading are arrived to a merchant for goods shipped from Bordeaux for this place in a vessel in which Monroe is coming passenger. We hope hourly therefore to recieve him.—Innes is arrived, and that board going to work.
May. 19. The answer of the Senate is reported by the Committee. It is perfectly an echo and full as high toned as the speech. Amendments may and will be attempted but cannot be carried.—Note to me the day you recieve this that I may know whether I conjecture rightly what is our true post day here.
RC (DLC: Madison Papers); unsigned; with blank left by TJ for fifth member of the committee of the House of Representatives (see below); addressed: "James Madison junr. Orange." PrC (DLC). For enclosure, see note below.
Charles C. Pinckney's dispatches to the secretary of state from 20 Dec. 1796 through 8 Mch. 1797 were among eighteen documents and extracts referred to in Adams's address of 16 May and transmitted to Congress the following day (Pickering to TJ, 17 May 1797, in DNA: RG 46, Senate Records, 5th Cong., 1st sess.; Annals description begins Annals of the Congress of the United States: The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States … Compiled from Authentic Materials Washington, D.C., Gales & Seaton, 1834–56, 42 vols. All editions are undependable and pagination varies from one printing to another. The first two volumes of the set cited here have "Compiled … by Joseph Gales, Senior" on the title page and bear the caption "Gales & Seatons History" on verso and "of Debates in Congress" on recto pages. The remaining volumes bear the caption "History of Congress" on both recto and verso pages. Those using the first two volumes with the latter caption will need to employ the date of the debate or the indexes of debates and speakers. description ends , vii, 64–7). For President Adams's speech of 16 May at the opening of the special session of Congress, see the preceding document. Those from the House of Representatives appointed to draw an answer to the president's address were Abraham B. Venable of Virginia, Nathaniel Freeman, Jr., of Massachusetts, John Rutledge, Jr., of South Carolina, Roger Griswold of Connecticut, and John W. Kittera of Pennsylvania. TJ's hope that the House response would be in general terms was not realized. The report submitted by the committee on 19 May stressed the impartial conduct of the United States in foreign affairs and assured the president of their "zealous co-operation in those measures which may appear necessary for our security or peace." On 22 May, the first day the report was considered by the House, Virginia Republican John Nicholas introduced an amendment that endorsed the president's plan for "a fresh attempt at negotiation," called for a "mutual spirit of conciliation," and advocated the removal of "inequalities" that might have arisen in relations between the United States and France due to the "operation" of treaties. The House debated it for a week. Robert Goodloe Harper opposed the amendment, arguing that France, once convinced of America's firm resolve to resist "encroachments and aggressions," would soon desist from them. On 29 May the House defeated the amendment by six votes. The next day Speaker Jonathan Dayton introduced an amendment approving of Adams's decision to renew negotiations with France and called for giving that nation treaty rights comparable to those of other countries. The Federalists argued against the latter clause, noting that the terms of the negotiations should "be left wholly to the President." The Dayton amendment passed by a five-vote margin on 31 May, but the following day Pennsylvania Federalist Samuel Sitgreaves introduced an alteration which canceled the clause urging equal treaty rights for France. This change was rejected by a 49 to 50 vote. Kittera then offered an alteration noting that since the negotiations were to be carried out in a "mutual" spirit of conciliation, France should be held responsible for injuries to neutral shipping suffered by the United States. Although Republicans feared that the French would view the phrase as an ultimatum which would subsequently defeat negotiations and lead to war, it passed on 2 June 1797. The controversial amendment as it was finally adopted by a 58 to 41 vote declared: "We therefore receive with the utmost satisfaction, your information that a fresh attempt at negotiation will be instituted, and we cherish the hope, that a mutual spirit of conciliation, and a disposition, on the part of France, to compensate for any injuries which may have been committed upon our neutral rights, and on the part of the United States to place France on grounds similar to those of other countries, in their relation and connection with us, if any inequalities shall be found to exist, will produce an accommodation compatible with engagements rights, duties, and honor, of the United States." After a Republican effort to strike out the sentence which reiterated Adams's assertion that the United States government had been "just and impartial to foreign nations" was defeated by a 45 to 53 vote, the amended address was passed and presented to the president on 3 June 1797 (JHR description begins Journal of the House of Representatives of the United States, Washington, D.C., Gales & Seaton, 1826, 9 vols. description ends , iii,10–23; Annals description begins Annals of the Congress of the United States: The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States … Compiled from Authentic Materials Washington, D.C., Gales & Seaton, 1834–56, 42 vols.

It is not clear whether TJ actually enclosed the answer reported by the Senate committee on 18 May 1797, because it was recommitted the next day and does not appear to have been printed. For the address, see the Senate to John Adams, 23 May 1797.
In the choice of a clerk for the House of Representatives on 15 May, Federalists voted for Jonathan W. Condy, a young law student, the candidate agreed upon the previous day at a caucus organized by William L. Smith. John Beckley had served as clerk of the House since the inception of the post (1 Apr. 1789) and was again elected to the postion in December 1801 (Annals description begins Annals of the Congress of the United States: The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States … Compiled from Authentic Materials Washington, D.C., Gales & Seaton, 1834–56, 42 vols.

Dir. Cong. description begins Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, 1774–1989 Washington, D.C., 1989 description ends ).
In the correspondence with his father of 3 Feb. 1797, John Quincy Adams's assessment of the demands of France and the reaction of Holland was hypothetical and not as encouraging as presented here. The minister at the Hague noted that Dutch merchants and government officials agreed that United States commerce and payments were "almost the only resources, the enjoyment of which is yet left them," but they feared and admitted they would "be forced to follow whatever France should dictate to them." In a letter to his father of 7 Feb. Adams predicted that if the French government ordered "this government to suspend all intercourse, commercial or political, or both, with the United States, they could not refuse the demand, although fully sensible that it would be a measure extremely odious to the people" (Worthington Chauncey Ford, description begins Paul Leicester Ford, ed., The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Letterpress Edition, New York, 1892–99, 10 vols. description ends ed., Writings of John Quincy Adams, 7 vols.
