The New York Times and Kaiser Health News have reported on a growing trend of hospitals reviewing their financial assistance policies for low-to-middle income patients without insurance in order to remain financially viable. A decision to reduce charitable care can significantly increase the workload of accounts receivable services at facilities that provide care for the uninsured.
The cost of charity care is partially covered by federal reimbursements, but the remaining debt can greatly affect a hospital's financial standing. The New York Times notes that the number of facilities that have been forced to reduce charitable care has so far been limited. Despite this fact, many experts are concerned that this trend will grow in popularity.
The Affordable Care Act recently reduced federal aid for hospitals that provide a high percentage of charitable care. This change, coupled with shrinking reimbursements, places additional strain on hospitals to ensure compensation for their treatments. While these changes could cause more uninsured to consider coverage through the Affordable Care Act, many experts remain uncertain of the consequences.
"Certainly we want to encourage people who have new access to affordable coverage to take advantage of it," Sidney D. Watson, a professor at St. Louis University's Center for Health Law Studies, told the New York Times. "But I think we're all going to have to do a lot to get that message out, and there will always be people who won't have the option."
Accounts receivable services that are operating within facilities that provide a high number of patients with charitable care should be prepared for an increase in claims processing. Professional Medical Services are here to streamline the process to close outstanding medical bills. At Professional Medical Services, we help you clear up outstanding accounts with the utmost efficiency by using a combination of automated tools and knowledgeable professionals, freeing up in-house staff to focus on high-priority accounts.

Keith C. Marshall and Peggy M. Marshall, Appellants,
Michael C. Marshall, Terri M. Shaw, and Mary E. Rutledge, Respondents.
Appeal From Lancaster County
Brooks P. Goldsmith, Circuit Court Judge
Submitted October 7, 2009 – Filed January 25, 2010
Kathryne Ann Shelton-Duco, of Columbia, for Appellants.
Philip Wright, of Lancaster, for Respondents.
PER CURIAM: Keith Marshall and Peggy Marshall (collectively Contestants) filed an action contesting a will, and the circuit court granted summary judgment finding the will valid. Contestants appeal arguing the circuit court erred in (1) granting summary judgment before they completed discovery or obtained an expert witness; (2) determining the testatrix had the capacity to execute a will without reviewing extensive medical records; and (3) finding even if the will was invalid, the prior will would be in operation. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities:
1. As to whether the circuit court erred in granting summary judgment before Contestants completed discovery or obtained an expert witness: In re Michael H., 360 S.C. 540, 546, 602 S.E.2d 729, 732 (2004) ("An issue may not be raised for the first time on appeal. In order to preserve an issue for appeal, it must be raised to and ruled upon by the trial court.").
2. As to whether the circuit court erred in determining the testatrix had the capacity to execute a will: Fleming v. Rose, 350 S.C. 488, 493, 567 S.E.2d 857, 860 (2002) (providing that when reviewing the grant of a summary judgment motion, this court applies the same standard that governs the trial court under Rule 56(c), SCRCP; summary judgment is proper when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law); Rule 56(f), SCRCP ("Should it appear from the affidavits of a party opposing the motion that he cannot for reasons stated present by affidavit facts essential to justify his opposition, the court may refuse the application for judgment or may order a continuance to permit affidavits to be obtained or depositions to be taken or discovery to be had or may make such order as is just."); Baughman v. Am. Tel. & Tel. Co., 306 S.C. 101, 112 n.4, 410 S.E.2d 537, 544 n.4 (1991) ("Although Plaintiffs did not file an affidavit invoking [Rule 56(f)], other courts have not mandated strict compliance with the technical requirements of Rule 56(f) where, as here, the need for further discovery is otherwise made known to the trial court."); Rule 56(c), SCRCP (providing when a party has moved for summary judgment, "[t]he adverse party may serve opposing affidavits not later than two days before the hearing"); McQuaig v. Brown, 270 S.C. 512, 516-17, 242 S.E.2d 688, 690 (1978) (finding when an affidavit was not timely submitted and not considered by the trial court in granting a summary judgment motion, the affidavit was not properly before the supreme court on appeal); In re Estate of Weeks, 329 S.C. 251, 263, 495 S.E.2d 454, 461 (Ct. App. 1997) ("The test of whether [a] testatrix had the capacity to make a will is whether she knew (1) her estate, (2) the objects of her affections, and (3) to whom she wished to give her property."); Gaddy v. Douglass, 359 S.C. 329, 345, 597 S.E.2d 12, 21 (Ct. App. 2004) (finding in order to invalidate a will, a testator's insanity should be established at the time of execution, unless the insanity is of a permanent or chronic nature); Hembree v. Estate of Hembree, 311 S.C. 192, 196, 428 S.E.2d 3, 5 (Ct. App. 1993) (noting the similarity of a contested will to a prior will "establishes that the testator recognized who his loved ones were and to whom he wished the majority of the estate to go"); In re Estate of Weeks, 329 S.C. at 265, 495 S.E.2d at 462 (finding contestants of a will presented absolutely no evidence of insanity or any sort of mental illness but rather showed testatrix was an 81-year-old woman experiencing a gradual but irreversible decline in her mental faculties due to aging).
3. As to whether the circuit court erred in finding if the will was invalid, the prior will would be in operation: Futch v. McAllister Towing of Georgetown, Inc., 335 S.C. 598, 613, 518 S.E.2d 591, 598 (1999) (holding an appellate court need not review remaining issues when its determination of a prior issue is dispositive of the appeal).
HEARN, C.J., and KONDUROS and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

Because the first trimester is hard.
This is inspired by [up_on_cloud_nine]'s "Feeling Lousy Cafe", so thanks to her.
I would hope that towards the end of pregnancy, women get extra consideration due to the obvious visual signal. However, early pregnancy seems to be pretty hard, but nobody realises, so you don't get any beneficial treatment. Therefore, i think there should be a strap-on inflatable but lightweight "belly" substitute for early pregnancy, so you get treated better, but flexible on the inside so as not to restrict the baby's growth. It would also mean maternity wear could be worn for longer, making it relatively cheaper.

Another idea which deals with that problem Empathy_20implant
Though for men more than women. [nineteenthly, Mar 25 2009]
I think that the main reason to be not in favour of this idea as proposed is that the risk of miscarriage is at its highest in the first trimester, which is why you are counselled not to go about proclaiming that you are up the stick until you have reached 12 weeks and the quacks have checked that everything is as it should be. Advertising your pregantiness for the sake of a seat on the bus is perhaps a little misguided.
As an aside, I understand from the many women who I know who have been, at times, in the family way, that the first three months are indeed the hardest - the worry, the morning sickness, the bizarro shape changes in your body, the sore boobes u.s.w. - and the latter two trimesters are, once all the other stuff has calmed down, largely (I said largely) a case of humphing around extra weight.
EDIT: I see that nineteenthly has gone over this ground quite thoroughly on the Feeling Lousy Café idea. Och, still.

"I'm knocked up" T-Shirt ?
— FlyingToaster, Mar 25 2009
21Q, my stomach had been stuffed for a number of years and the only special treatment I get is too be called a 'fat bugger' by the friends and colleagues. What I want is the inverse of this device (but not a girdle as that too Captain Kirk for me). Ninetheenthly you should eat more and exercise less then you will get the same beneficial treatement that I do.
— eight_nine_tortoise, Mar 25 2009
[21_Quest], it would of course be possible just to wear a T-shirt with "Baby on board" written on it. This would inform the rational and conscious part of observant and considerate people's minds of the truth and it wouldn't be misleading. However, not every woman with a big belly is pregnant either, and people might embarrassingly assume they are. My aim here is the opposite of deceit. If someone looks pregnant, they may elicit an emotionally caring response which is still appropriate given that they actually are pregnant. I am as aware as you are that i may be walking on eggshells here, but many women i know say the early stage is worse than the middle.
Concerning the fake bellies, those are really good value, [ldischler]! The second model has messed up though - her jeans are too tight and it looks like her uterus is floating about somewhere near her small intestine. I don't think they'd be suitable for this role because i think they'd put pressure on the abdomen, which i'd be prepared to bet would make morning sickness and œsophageal reflux worse. Still, it's better than nothing - more an empathy bulge than a fake. Also, this isn't fake, it's a real pregnancy.
This reminds me of a scene I saw played out on a suburban train: Younger woman (standing): "Excuse me, do you think I could sit down, please? I'm two-and-a-half months pregnant"
Older woman (seated): "I've got an artificial leg"
Stalemate.
A game of Disability Top Trumps, anyone?
(No, I didn't give up my seat, because I didn't have one either)
— coprocephalous, Mar 25 2009
i find that throwing up all over someone's shoes usually gets you a seat just fine. also, added attention when you feel miserable is hardly most people's idea of a good time. i cannot bun this suggestion unless the faux-front is filled with suitable snacks to keep the ravenous bugblatters of two-hour starvation at bay. y'know, granola, power bars, peanut butter cookies, fruit... stuff like that. that would actually make this a sensible suggestion, otherwise this is not my idea of a good time. also, people like to touch bellies and that is hardly conducive to staving off nausea. [i should just add here that even though i am rounding the bend on my third trimester people still inquire into my morning sickness pains. so thoughtful! :)]
— k_sra, Mar 25 2009
Disability poker? Another idea. [Calum], that's a really good point. I can imagine someone stumbling out of bed the day after her miscarriage is confirmed to see the bulge draped over the chair. That's really poignant.
I think the difficulty of the last bit shouldn't be underestimated either, since you have not only the physical discomfort but also the anticipation of giving birth and dealing with the responsibilities of a new child.
[FlyingToaster], i think i was typing when you posted that, and as i said i think the T-shirt lacks the psychological oompfh.
[Eight_nine], i'm getting there: I'm on the border of being overweight, at eighty kilos and a height of one hundred and seventy-eight centimetres.
[Cloud_nine], i understand they can be quite accurate but don't see how they can cause swollen ankles or hæmorrhoids, and you know you can take 'em off without having a babby at the end. I have another idea which deals with that problem, though for men more than women. See the link.
— phoenix, Mar 25 2009
A single FAQ T-shirt then?
[ k_sra ], congratulations!
(please take following with grain of salt due to attempt at funny)
On the idea: If I were a woman I would not want special treatment during pregnancy untill I really phisically needed it and then I would bloody well demand it at the top of my voice before I would collapse crying (moodswing) on the now vacant seat. If people gave me special treatment of their own accord I would find that condescending and scream at them.
— zeno, Mar 25 2009
Many an excluded middle truth value word is spoken in jest.
There is a problem in some places of women strapping on fake hollow "bellies" -- and then shoplifting items and sticking them inside.
— phundug, Mar 26 2009
a fake belly is probably not a very close approximation to the real thing unless they also pump you full of 33% more blood, 2 lbs extra boobage and 9 lbs of additional body fat. oh, and reduce your bladder to a third of its size.
— k_sra, Apr 03 2009
I utterly agree, [k_sra], and that's part of the point. There are a lot of difficulties in early pregnancy which are less obvious, and it would be better to fake the appearance of pregnancy in order to get preferential treatment, but this has to be done without adversely affecting the health of the mother or, possibly, the foetus, so a heavy bulge and the like is probably not advisable.

We're professed lovers of the E30 M3 touring car, but that doesn't mean we don't also appreciate its competitors. In 1990, Audi made their debut in DTM, replacing Ford. They rolled out the big body Quattro V8 - which dwarfed the M3's and 190E's - and put Hans Stuck behind the wheel. By the end of the season the Audi had asserted itself as more than just a novelty, and won the championship.

Pesic out, Djordjevic the new coach for Bayern Munich
Aris Barkas
Eurohoops.net Aris Barkas
Bayern Munich announced what was rumored for a long time. Svetislav Pesic is no longer the coach of the team, as he is leaving his position due to health reasons
By Aris Barkas/ barkas@eurohoops.net
Bayern Munich announced what was rumored for a long time. Svetislav Pesic is no longer the coach of the team, as he is leaving his position due to health reasons.
As the 66 years old coach said:"In coaching two things are fundamentally important: you have to make decisions and you have responsibility for the team and the development of the players. I am sure that I have made not only a good decision for my health, but also taken the appropriate responsibility in terms of the further development of our team. For any other decision which I might have taken in the false hope of a faster recovery, the risk would be too great for the team. I wanted to avoid that at all costs".
Pesic has had surgery on both his knees. According to various reports from Serbia his heir is one of his "children". Sasha Djordjevic who played under Pesic in the junior national teams of Yugoslavia is going to be the coach with a new three year deal.

Anonymous portrait of Jean-Baptiste Carrier (1756-1794).
This portrait of Jean-Baptiste Carrier, perpetrator of the notorious "Noyages de Nantes", was posted on the French version of Wikipedia in December 2009 and has subsequently found its way onto several other websites. No dimensions are given - it was scanned from a 1980 edition of Michelet - so it is easy to miss that it is a miniature: not snuff box lid size, but still pretty small. The original is in the Musée Lambinet.
The label in the museum ascribes it to David himself - not implausibly: it is an accomplished and arresting work.
One Wikipedia commentator has cast doubt on whether the portrait really is Carrier. He has even consulted Carrier's descendants. (The Carrier gene is strong, he says cryptically - no doubt someone still has that nose!). The family "swear by" a Delpech lithograph, the only other known likeness apart from overt caricatures.
Personally I think the two images could well be the same man. The real problem is accepting that this sympathetic and sensitive portrait could indeed represent someone with such an odious and fearsome reputation as the murderous Carrier.

The Cajun Navy first came into existence with 30 people and 23 rescue vessels during Hurricane Katrina and grew even larger amid severe flooding in Louisiana in 2016. The Guardian reported that last year — using social media — the group of hunters and fishermen were able to locate stranded residents and rescue them with their boats.
Their missions were all the more vital amid the government's failure to adequately take care of victims and provide housing and relief. For example, Julie Ralph of St. Francisville, Louisiana, turned to Amazon, creating a page to accept donations of basic supplies. Ralph said that as the floodwaters cleared and rescue operations turned into recovery operations, the Cajun Navy became the Cajun Army. As she said last September:
As it stands, the boots on the ground are the Cajun Army, and anyone who can be summoned through Facebook or Twitter by people sharing how bad things are to get people to come over and help.
When the floods started hitting Texas this weekend, the Cajun Navy sprung back into action. Houston's ABC 13 reported Monday that on Sunday, "a caravan comprising of pickup trucks and small fishing vessels made the trip from Louisiana swampland to the Houston area," and the group has been making use of social media to find those who need rescuing.
Their Cajun Army Facebook group has over 10,000 members and provides a mode of communication for people to provide their location so rescuers can reach them, as does the Cajun Navy 2016 page, which has nearly 80,000 followers. They're also tapping into other volunteer groups to find locations where people are stranded.
The Navy is advising stranded Texans to download the Zello Walkie Talkie app and use it to find search and rescue operations near their location.
John Bridgers, one of the founders of the Cajun Navy's 2016 Facebook group, is volunteering in Texas. As he told the New Yorker, "When you pull up to an individual's house and they're wading out of five feet of water with a duffel bag over their head, and you pull them into your boat, you realize that's all they've got in that moment. That stays with you, for good and bad."
The New Yorker cited some of the pleas the Cajun Navy has received from Texans via social media:
'Two Adults lady is 7 months pregnant,' one post read. '3 lil ones under the age of 4,' another said. 'Two elderly in 80s, One in wheelchair. 1 Adult…2' of water in house right now,' another read. One message said that several senior citizens were 'sitting in water chest deep' in a nursing home.
NOLA reports that in at least one instance the Cajun Navy saved the life of a woman who might have otherwise died:
Three members of the Cajun Navy had already rescued stranded Texans Monday morning, including one elderly woman who had to be resuscitated. NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune reporter Todd Mason reported that Joshua Lincoln of Madisonville, Ricky Berrigan of Lacombe and Donnie Davenport of Pearl River saved 73-year-old Wilma Ellis when they found her face down in floodwaters northeast of Houston.
They also saved numerous lives last year during the Louisiana floods and in 20015 during Katrina.
WAFB provided footage of countless campers, trucks, boats, and even a high water rescue vehicle loading up on supplies at a local Costco, where individuals provided donations, helping to fill up the different forms of transportation before they left the lot. WAFB reported that volunteers told her that they received help during the Louisiana floods last year and they want to return to support.
Other non-governmental groups are also providing relief, from H-E-B and Wal-Mart stores to the Red Cross and Salvation Army.
Though government agencies are also attempting to provide relief, these voluntary solutions are playing a key role in ensuring as many people as possible have a chance to survive. Even Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards tweeted a message of support to the Cajun Navy.
Fifty inches of rainfall are expected by Wednesday, and one expert anticipates 21 trillion gallons of water before Harvey runs its course. Reports suggest at least 10 trillion gallons have already inundated Texas.

Die Vallombrosaner oder Vallumbrosaner (, Ordenskürzel: OSBVall und CVUOSB) sind ein Zweigorden der Benediktiner in der Römisch-Katholischen Kirche. Sie wurden 1039 als Eremitengemeinschaft von Giovanni Gualberto OSB (985 oder 995–1073, Heiligsprechung 1193) gegründet. Den weiblichen Zweig des Ordens gründete die hl. Humilitas (* 1266 in Faenza; † 1310 in Florenz).

Namensherkunft
Die Namensherkunft wird vom ersten kleinen "Kloster Vallombrosa" in Acquabella bei Reggello (Toskana) abgeleitet. In diesem Ort errichteten die Mönche ein Kloster und nannten es nach dem, aus dem Lateinisch abgeleiteten Wort "Vallis umbrosa". ( oder Schattental). Der Name des Klosters wurde die Grundlage zur Namensgebung der dort versammelten Mönche, man nannte sie "Vallombrosaner".

Geschichte
Gualbertus hatte sich nach seinem Eintritt in die Florentiner Benediktinerabtei San Miniato mit dem dortigen Abt überworfen und begab sich nach Aquabella. Hier schloss er sich den beiden Einsiedlern Paulus und Guntelm an. Es kamen 1036 mehrere Gleichgesinnte aus Florenz und den umliegenden Klöstern hinzu. Somit ergab sich die Notwendigkeit, ein eigenes kleines Kloster zu errichten, welchem sie den Namen "Vallombrosa" gaben. Die Errichtung und Fertigstellung der Bauten erfolgte 1039, dies wird als das Gründungsjahr angesehen. Die Mönche verfolgten einen streng asketischen Lebenswandel, sie lebten monastisch und auf der Grundlage der Benediktinerregeln Ora et labora ().

Aufbaujahre
1051 errichteten die Mönche das Kloster Badia a Coltibuono. 1055/56 erhielt die Kongregation, die zunächst eine Vereinigung aus mehreren Klöstern war, durch Papst Viktor II. die päpstliche Approbation. Er stellte den Klosterverband unter seinen persönlichen Schutz. 1090 erfolgte durch Papst Urban II. die erneute Anerkennung. Nach dem Tode Gualbertus begann in Italien eine schnelle Verbreitung der Mönche. Mit einer päpstlichen Bulle stellte Papst Urban II. das Stammkloster Vallombrosa und weitere 50 Zweigklöster, wie zum Beispiel die Badia Ardenga bei Montalcino, unter den Schutz des Heiligen Stuhls. Vom 12. bis zum 14. Jahrhundert wandelte sich diese Klostervereinigung in einen monastischen Orden. An der Spitze stand der Generalabt von Vallombrosa, er wurde von Dekanen unterstützt. In der römischen Kurie war der Orden durch einen Visitator vertreten.

Päpstliche Protektion
Weitere Bestätigungs- und Schutzbullen für die Klöster der Vallombrosaner folgten 1115 von Paschalis II., 1153 von Anastasius IV. und 1156 von Hadrian IV. Der Orden verbreitete sich unter der päpstlichen Protektion vor allem in Mittel- und Norditalien, so dass er im Jahr 1188 über 53 Klöster und Niederlassungen verfügte. 1485 erfolgte unter Innozenz VIII. der Zusammenschluss mit einer abgespaltenen Kongregation. Eine erste Reform des Ordens erfolgte Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts und eine weitere zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts. 1662 wurde den Vallombrosanern durch Papst Alexander VII. ein weiterer Benediktinerorden zugeordnet, die Gemeinschaft mit den Silvestrinern wurde jedoch 1678 wieder aufgehoben.

Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts gründete der Generalabt Milanesi eine Bildungseinrichtung im Stile einer Universität, diese wurde jedoch 1527 durch die Truppen des römisch-deutschen Kaisers Karl V. niedergebrannt. Darüber hinaus bestanden Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts in Italien und im übrigen Europa mehr als 80 Abteien, rund 200 Priorate, ca. 30 Hospitäler, Pilgerherbergen, Waisenhäuser und etwa 20 Frauenklöster. In den Jahren 1572–1585 unterstützten die Mönche Papst Gregor XIII. bei den großen Kirchenreformen, unter Leitung des Generalabts Nicolini begann ab dem Jahr 1637 der Wiederaufbau der Universität, nachdem bereits 1634 ein Observatorium errichtet worden war.

Zerstörungen und Wiederaufbau
1808 plünderten die napoleonischen Truppen während der Koalitionskriege das Kloster und verbannten die Mönche, 1810 wurde durch Napoleon Bonaparte der Mönchsorden aufgehoben. Erst 1815 konnten die Mönche nach Vallombrosa zurückkehren. Die nächste Aufhebung erfolgte 1866 durch die italienische Regierung, die Abtei wurde für eine Versteigerung freigegeben. Einige Mönche verblieben im Kloster, um die Kirche und die meteorologische Station zu betreuen. Die Abtei-Gebäude wurden in eine nationale Forstverwaltungsschule umgestaltet. Im Verlauf des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts wurde infolge der in Italien ständig geführten Kriege eine Vielzahl der bestehenden Klöster vernichtet. Neben dem Stammkloster Vallombrosa bestehen in Italien weitere Klöster in Badia a Passignano, einem Ortsteil (Fraktion) der Gemeinde Barberino Tavarnelle, mit der Grabstätte des hl. Gualberto, in Santa Trinita bei Florenz, in Rom, in Albano Laziale und in Montessoro.

Gegenwärtige Organisation
1966 schloss sich der bis dahin selbständige Orden als Kongregation der Benediktinischen Konföderation an. Ordensoberhaupt aller Vallumbrosaner-Mönche ist weiterhin der Generalabt, der zugleich Abt im Stammkloster, der Abtei Vallombrosa, ist. Das Generalhaus hat seinen Sitz in Santa Trinita (Florenz). und gehört zum Bistum Albano. Der Generalabt wird durch das Ordenskapitel auf fünf Jahre gewählt und hat einen Sitz im Senat von Florenz, darüber hinaus wurde dem Generalabt der Titel eines Grafen von Monte Verde und Gualdo verliehen. Derzeitiger Amtsinhaber ist Giuseppe Casetta (* 1958).

Q: SQL Azure Data Sync not possible when a trigger is set I try to use SQL Azure Data Sync to sync between SQL-Azure-DB and on-premise SQL-Server 2008R2.
I have to sync only one table with now only 90 rows. The table on the Azure-side has a trigger set, but the table on my local sql-server doesn't have this trigger (because apart from the shared one table, the two databases have nothing in common).
When I try to sync it fails with this error:
Sync failed with the exception "GetStatus failed with exception:
Sync worker failed, checked by GetStatus method.

Failure details:
An unexpected error occurred when applying batch file C:\Resources\directory\61e9d741c80a47b4ae195f835e62fcda.NTierSyncServiceWorkerRole.LS1\DSS_syncjobmxd24sznwfq5idekfaopaery\a0e8b11a-a08c-4081-b929-e3f80b70f045.batch.
See the inner exception for more details.

Inner exception:
Failed to execute the command 'BulkInsertCommand' for table 'dbo.tblUser';
the transaction was rolled back. Ensure that the command syntax is correct.

Inner exception:
SqlException Error Code: -2146232060 - SqlError Number:512,
Message: Subquery returned more than 1 value.
This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >=
or when the subquery is used as an expression.

SqlError Number:3621,
Message: The statement has been terminated.
For more information, provide tracing id 'bb8e3787-27c1-4b7e-9a26-6db2ff6724d3' to customer support.

When I disable my trigger, the sync works!
My trigger:
    CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[UpdateUsersTable]
    ON [dbo].[tblUser]
    AFTER INSERT AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON;

    INSERT INTO  [dbo].[Users] ([userID], [PartnerOrganizationId])
    VALUES ((select [userID] from inserted), (select [country] from inserted))
    END

As an approach I thought maybe it's because my trigger and the sync-trigger start in the wrong order, so I tried:
    exec sp_settriggerorder @triggername = 'tblUser_dss_insert_trigger',
                        @order = 'first',
                        @stmttype = 'insert',
                        @namespace = null

    exec sp_settriggerorder @triggername = 'UpdateUsersTable',
                    @order = 'last',
                    @stmttype = 'insert',
                    @namespace = null
    go

But that didn't change anything. Still the same error.
Do I have any chance to sync that table WITH my trigger enabled?

A: In your Trigger you are using INSERT which is causing this problem.
Please create separate triggers for INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE. System do need to compare the row counts between inserted and deleted table to determine which action fires the trigger. Having separate triggers for INSERT/DELETE should solve this problem.
A similar discussion shows exact same problem here
More Info
Your trigger has a bug, and will fail for any multi-row insert. It should be something like:
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[UpdateUsersTable]
ON [dbo].[tblUser]
AFTER INSERT AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON;

INSERT INTO  [dbo].[Users] ([userID], [PartnerOrganizationId])
 select [userID], [country] from inserted
END

The Australian Light Horse Memorial Park covers 150 hectares and is part of the land which was Victoria's largest Army base, the Seymour Camp, known to many as site 17. Once a busy camp, today the park is a quiet and peaceful place. Here, over 100 years ago, soldiers gathered to prepare for war.
Visit the park to explore one of Australia's most important military heritage sites or to enjoy a stroll or a picnic in the tranquil bushland setting with its wide range of flora and fauna.
Throughout the park there are scattered relics of the Army Camp days. As all accommodation was under tents, the only structures were ablutions blocks, cook houses, and administrative buildings. The foundations of the 27 Camp hospital are still there.
Anzac Hill is the highest point in the park and offers 360-degree views of the beautiful surrounding countryside. To the South is the Tallarook Range, to the East, the National Trust listed Trawool Valley and Mount Puckapunyal is visible to the west. It is well worth the walk to the top.


As there are no DIY guides for cleaning the MAP and MAF sensors on the I-CTDI engines I thought it would be a good opportunity for my second and third DIY guides.
I won't take any responsibility for and damage or injury. You follow this guide at your own risk.
If you do not agree, please do not follow this guide.
This DIY has been written and intended only as a guide.
There may be other or easier ways of performing a stage.
TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN HANDLING THESE SENSORS – THEY ARE FRAGILE!!!!!
Whilst I had EGR issues I also had slight hesitation upon acceleration.
The procedure is relatively straight forward so I decided to give it a go.
When both the MAP and MAF sensors were clean the engine response improved noticeably.
OTHER CLEANING AGENTS LIKE BRAKE CLEANER ARE TOO AGGRESSIVE AND WILL DAMAGE THE SENSORS/COMPONENTS.
No parts are required however if they are faulty then you would need to replace them.
Usually if they are faulty a MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) will illuminate or you will get a fault code once you plug in an OBD reader.
The MAF sensor is still available from Honda; however it is not cheap and also comes together with a small section of air intake tubing.
Ensure the car is parked with the ignition off and the handbrake up.
Pop open the engine hood and prop it up with the stand.
Using your 10mm socket wrench, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
Place aside and away from the battery terminal.
Using the 10mm socket wrench with an extension, loosen and remove all 4 bolts and washers that hold the engine insulation cover.
Keep all the bolts and washers safe. These can easily fall into the engine bay.
Carefully unplug the sensor's connector.
Once the torx screws are removed, gently wiggle the sensor out.
It is a very snug fit, be patient. No need to pry it out with anything.
To clean the sensor, spray CRC air sensor cleaner generously on the component that looks like a diode.
Ensure the whole wire is cleaned as best as possible.
DO NOT TOUCH THE COMPONENT and do not let the straw of the CRC cleaner touch it either.
The next section to clean is the metal plate. Located in the pic below.
The last section to clean is the area located below.
Spray generously here at the metal hot wire fins, but do not direct the straw of the CRC cleaner into the recess.
Once all three areas are clean, do not re-fit.
Leave to completely dry out.
Whilst drying you can clean the airbox area where the MAF sensor goes.
Check the aperture and ensure there is no debris or foreign matter inside.
Once the MAF sensor is completely dried, place it back into its original position and repeat the removal process in reverse order.
-There are no specified torque settings for the MAF screws so tighten those accordingly.
-Start the engine and let it idle for approx 5 mins (ECU relearns all air pressure and flow readings), after 5 mins turn the ignition off, then re-start and let is idle for another couple mins.

Arch Rivals SRK & Salman Khan to reunite again in a YRF movie! Arch Rivals SRK & Salman Khan to reunite again in a YRF movie!
Home > yrf > Arch Rivals SRK & Salman Khan to reunite again in a YRF movie!
If the latest rumor is to be believed, than it's a very happy news for all movie lovers! Because this new rumors claim that the jodi of Karan Arjun is to be reunite again with YRF! It would be just awesome to watch both stars sharing one Screen. There is much more rivalry in their fans than themselves. According to sources, Aditya Chopra has succeeded in managing both grand stars and made a decision to direct two Khan's in a movie.
Ranveer Singh was being considered earlier in the same film but, Aditya thought if both Khan's work together than they will set Box Office on fire. That's why he signed Salman insted of Ranveer Singh. If we believe sources who are close to YRF, than the film will be Romantic thriller and probably release by end of year 2016.
As stated by the source, "The script is ready and both the superstars have liked it. However, the female lead is yet to be finalized. The details will be revealed when Adi decides to make an official announcement. But as of now, both the actors seem enthused about their on-screen reunion." At this point, it deserves to be mentioned that these two Khans were last seen in the year 2002 in 'Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam' and they have not given any comment on the news so far.

Gettysburg Cemetery Ridge rehabilitation
Gettysburg NMP
The rehab of Cemetery Ridge will begin July 11 -
NPS announces detours, temporary parking and cemetery access
The parking area and sidewalks for the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg National Military Park along Taneytown Road will close on July 11 for up to six months for a construction project, National Park Service officials have announced. To accommodate national cemetery visitors during the project, a number of detours and temporary access points have been established.
Parking - Temporary grass and gravel parking lots for the National Cemetery will be designated on the east side of Taneytown Road, across from the existing lot, and at the intersection of Taneytown Road and Hunt Avenue.
Pedestrian Access - Because of sidewalk closures on the west side of Taneytown Road, pedestrian access to the national cemetery will be through a new gate through the stone wall on the south side of the cemetery, directly accessible from the temporary parking area. All existing cemetery gates will remain open during cemetery hours. Pedestrians using the trail from the park Museum and Visitor Center will be rerouted onto a new temporary grass trail on the east side of Taneytown Road.
Handicapped accessibility - Visitors with mobility impairments may obtain special permission from Park Rangers in the Museum and Visitor Center to drive into the Soldiers' National Cemetery.
Auto Tour Route - Cars following the Gettysburg National Military Park's auto tour route will be directed from Hancock Avenue to Steinwehr Avenue to Taneytown Road to the temporary parking lot for the cemetery (Auto Tour stop 16). Buses, RVs and large vehicles will follow detour signs on a special route via Steinwehr Avenue to Queen Street, to Fairview Avenue, to Gettys Street, to Washington Street, to Taneytown Road to the Hunt Avenue temporary parking area. These large vehicles must take special care when parking at Hunt Avenue due to wet areas on the left and right side of the entrance.
Local traffic detour - Local traffic that uses this area for access between Taneytown Road and Steinwehr Avenue will be redirected to the intersection of Taneytown Road and Steinwehr Avenue or Wheatfield Road.
Freedom transit – The Gold Line shuttle's cemetery stop will be relocated to the temporary parking lot.
Bicycle traffic – Bicyclists, including users of the Gettysburg Inner Loop bike trail, will stay on Steinwehr Avenue to the intersection with Taneytown Road and proceed to the bike racks inside the Taneytown Road entrance to the cemetery.
Project background – This $1.5 million dollar project will rehabilitate Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg National Military Park, bringing back missing features on the historic landscape at the center of the Union Army's battle line and reduce the size of a parking area at Ziegler's Grove. The nonprofit Gettysburg Foundation provided a grant of $900,000 to match National Park Service funding of $600,000. Special funding from the National Park Service was made available as a National Park Service Centennial initiative.
Details about the project are available on "From the Fields of Gettysburg," the official blog of Gettysburg National Military Park, (click here) or go to: https://npsgnmp.wordpress.com/2015/05/21/gettysburg-details-rehabbing-cemetery-ridge/.

Thanks to a recent grant from the Henry County REMC we purchased and installed a picnic table at the Blountsville trail head. We appreciate their support of the Greenway and encourage trail users to stop by and take a break or relax at the end of your ride. Thanks Henry County REMC!
To help us celebrate our 25th anniversary we have new Cardinal Greenways cycling jerseys. They're available in men's and women's sizes and are club cut. They can be purchased for $75 at the Muncie Depot and are a great way to look stylish and support the Greenway!
Due to bridge construction a section of the Greenway will be closed for several months. A map of a detour route is below. The trail is closed from the CR 534 trail head to East 650 S. We apologize for the inconvenience but will reopen this section as soon as the work is completed.

Mary Eugenia Benson Jobson (5 May 1872–10 January 1962), woman suffrage activist and public welfare official, was born in Columbus, Georgia, and was the daughter of Henry L. Benson, a railroad yard master, and his first wife Luella A. Robinson Benson. She went by Eugenia, and sometimes Jennie, throughout her life. Little is recorded about her childhood and education before she married Richmond, Virginia, native Frank Lee Jobson on 4 July 1889 in Columbus. They lived in Richmond and between 1890 and 1902 had three daughters, two sons, and one other child who died young.
Soon after a group of Richmond women formed the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia in November 1909, Jobson joined and began working at the grassroots level to win support for woman suffrage. She organized information booths at the state fair, canvassed for signatures on petitions to members of the General Assembly, made speeches, and served as a ward chair for the Richmond league. She also helped organize new leagues in several cities and counties around the state. The league's secretary in her April 1915 report commented, "I would like to do justice to Mrs. Frank L. Jobson's untiring efforts to sign up converts—but I fear that is impossible." Described as "untiring, persistent, unruffled, dignified and absolutely compelling," Jobson became such an effective organizer that later in the decade the state league lent her to help with suffrage campaigns in New York and North Carolina. In 1919 she assisted with the Equal Suffrage League's campaign to enroll as many supporters of woman suffrage in each county and city as the number of men who had voted in the most recent election in order to persuade members of the General Assembly to support an amendment. As part of the league's ratification committee in 1919 and 1920, Jobson joined members Adèle Clark, Nora Houston, and national organizer Mary Elizabeth Pidgeon in interviewing legislators to determine whose votes they might sway.
Following ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, Jobson became a charter member and district chair of the Virginia League of Women Voters. Working with Sarah Blair Harvie Wormeley, she helped enroll more than 12,000 women as new voters in Richmond prior to the November 1920 election. In February 1921 Jobson was appointed to the Richmond electoral board, reportedly the first woman in Virginia (and the South according to several newspaper accounts). She served on the city's Democratic Committee for ten years and worked on various local and state political campaigns, including the 1921 gubernatorial campaigns of Elbert Lee Trinkle, who had been a supporter of woman suffrage as a member of the Senate of Virginia, and the 1925 campaign of Harry Flood Byrd (1887–1966), who had been opposed, and at least one of the Richmond mayoral campaigns of John Fulmer Bright. In 1925 Jobson commented, "Voting is not a question of sex but of citizenship…every woman uses her judgment in regard to her ballot, just as men do."
She joined the recently established Social Service Bureau of the Richmond Department of Public Welfare in 1924. She became chief of the bureau the following year and oversaw its work with institutions and charitable organizations that provided aid for destitute city residents. In 1933 she was named head of the bureau's Mothers' Aid program, which provided living allowances to a small number of carefully selected families. In 1935 Mayor Bright asked for her resignation from the bureau "in the best interests of preserving harmony within the department and the discharge of more efficient service to the public." Jobson protested the controversial decision publicly and asserted that she was let go "solely for political reasons." At first she refused to submit a letter of resignation, but a combination of local politics and difficult conditions that resulted from the rapid expansion of the bureau's duties with insufficient funding as a result of the Great Depression forced her to leave the job in October 1935.
She was an active member of the Quota Club, a Richmond club for businesswomen, and the Richmond Business and Professional Women's Club. She was also president of the Richmond Women's Democratic Club. Jobson's husband died on 5 March 1933. Once described as a born politician, Jobson worked tirelessly to get women the vote and was proud to say that "suffrage has been well-handled. Women have made quite an improvement in many social conditions, especially along the lines of child labor and social work and reforms." In 1959, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Equal Suffrage League's founding, Jobson and Adèle Clark told a newspaper reporter that they had not ever missed voting in an election. Jobson had once even hobbled to the polls on a crutch after she broke her leg.
Mary Eugenia Benson Jobson died of heart disease at her Richmond home on 10 January 1962 and was buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery, in neighboring Henrico County.

Apparently, I have a lot of thoughts about the Battle of Hogwarts. Specifically, the movie version. I actually really like the Deathly Hallows Part II movie, but there are a few things about it – most of them very minor – that get on my nerves.
Yesterday, I wrote about the horde of a thousand Death Eaters, and I'm sure there will be a post coming soon about the weird way Voldemort's body dissolves when he dies. But one of the things that bothers me the most is that no one attempts to evacuate the castle.
In the book, Professor McGonagall's first thought upon realizing they're going to fight Voldemort at Hogwarts is that they have to evacuate the students. She and the other Heads of House agree that anyone under seventeen must leave the castle before Voldemort attacks, although the oldest students will be allowed to stay and fight if they choose to. There's a whole scene in the book where the students gather in the Great Hall and McGonagall explains everything that's going on. The movie does things a little differently, but it wouldn't have been hard to have evacuation brought up and Harry suggest the secret passageway to Hogsmeade.
Instead, what happens is this: after Voldemort's ultimatum, Professor McGonagall sends the Slytherins to the dungeons, and the rest of the students are left to fend for themselves, even the first and second years who can barely make sparks fly out of their wands. Aside from how hard it is to believe that none of the Hogwarts teachers thought about trying to get their students to safety, and the horror of realizing many of them likely didn't survive the battle, this takes away their choice as well.
It takes away from the fact that so many of the seventeen- and eighteen-year-olds did stay to fight. It takes away from the fact that younger students, like Ginny and Colin, refused to be told they had to leave and fought in the battle anyway. I wouldn't say it negates the heroism of those who fought, but it makes their actions more about survival than a conscious decision to do what was right.
It also takes away the choice from the students who left. Those who had not been part of the DA and knew they would be no good in a fight. Those who left to make sure a younger sibling got safely home. Those who left to return with reinforcements. Those who were just plain scared and decided the battle could be won or lost without them. Those who were loyal to the other side. The fact that so many left – all the Slytherins, and some of the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs – adds realism to the story and makes those who stayed seem all the more noble for doing so.
For that matter, it takes away the possibility of help from the outside. In the book, Professor Slughorn returns near the end of the battle with a large group of reinforcements to help defend the castle. In the movie, this couldn't possibly happen, because no one left the castle. The villagers in Hogsmeade might have seen that something was happening, but they wouldn't have known what they could do or why they should. The families of the students who stayed to fight would have had no idea that a battle was even happening. Someone had to find them and ask for their help, and if no one left the castle, that's impossible. The reinforcements are more than just numbers to help them win the battle. I see them as a sign that Hogwarts is not alone. The teachers, Dumbledore's Army, the Order of the Phoenix, the few who are there when the battle starts and who have been fighting all along, are not making their final stand on their own, and there are many others out there who step up when the time comes. This kind of wider support for the heroes is in direct contrast with the movie, where they truly are on their own and up against massive numbers under Voldemort's command.
It takes away the Slytherin students' choice as well. In the book, many went straight to Voldemort, while a few went with Professor Slughorn and then returned to help win the battle. Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle snuck back into the castle and tried to capture Harry themselves, which didn't go all that well for them. In the movie, there are no such choices. No one has a chance to leave the castle.
That means it also takes away from the Malfoy parents' dilemma. In the book, when other Slytherin students start showing up to join the Death Eaters and Draco doesn't, they have no idea what happened to him. Voldemort seems to suspect disloyalty and makes it clear that he doesn't care if Draco lives or dies. There's a battle going on, and they don't know which side he's on or whether he's even still alive. His father begs Voldemort to call off the battle, and when that fails, his mother lies to Voldemort, telling him Harry Potter is dead, in an attempt to end the battle and find Draco. In the movie, though, Snape is the one person from Hogwarts who went to Voldemort at the start of the battle. The students are all still in the castle. Draco's parents have no reason to suspect that anything unusual happened to him, or that he's in any more danger than the other Slytherins.
The Harry Potter books are so tightly-woven that even a small change makes a big difference.
How many people fought in the Battle of Hogwarts?
The Deathly Hallows Part II movie makes a big deal of how outnumbered the heroes are, with shots that show Voldemort surrounded by vast numbers of Death Eaters and hordes of Snatchers, quotes about numbers not winning a battle when the Order members see what they're up against, and a distinct lack of the reinforcements that showed up near the end in the book. But how many people really fought in the Battle of Hogwarts?
Let's start off by establishing how many wizards there are in Great Britain, since that puts an upper limit on the numbers for the battle. All the witches and wizards in Britain attend the same school, buy their wands from the same wand-maker, and frequent the same few places: Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, Godric's Hollow, etc. They have one major newspaper, one favorite sport, twenty-eight "pure-blood" families, and one court that handles cases ranging from petty crimes to felonies. There can't be all that many of them.
There are 40 students in Harry's year at Hogwarts. 40 students per year x 7 years = about 280 students at Hogwarts. However, J.K. Rowling has said before that about 1,000 students attend Hogwarts. Presumably, either not all of Harry's classmates are mentioned in the books or the Original Forty list, or his group is unusually small. I prefer the latter assumption, because it would be hard to imagine 25 more Gryffindors in Harry's year.
If there are 280 students at Hogwarts, there are about 2,300 wizards in the UK, 560 kids and 1,740 adults.
If there are 1,000 students at Hogwarts, there are about 8,300 wizards in the UK, 2,000 kids and 6,300 adults.
So there are likely somewhere between 2,000 and 6,000 adult wizards in the UK. Are you starting to see why images like this from the Deathly Hallows Part II movie bother me?
Just how many followers did Voldemort have? I counted a hundred people just in the first few rows and then gave up. The vast horde of Death Eaters extends far beyond the edge of the image. There must be a thousand of them!
That's not even counting the Snatchers.
There are probably what, a hundred people in this picture? It gets hard to tell near the back, and like with the previous picture, the army doesn't stop where the picture ends. These guys aren't official Death Eaters, just lower-level followers who do a lot of the dirty work. Their costuming is different, they fight in different parts of the battle, and really, there should be many more of them than the Death Eaters, who are just Voldemort's elite inner circle.
Possibly a few more, since it's not clear whether minor Hogwarts teachers like Sinistra, Vector, Babbling, Hooch, etc. remained to fight or evacuated.
Possibly more unnamed students, since "a number of older Ravenclaws … even more Hufflepuffs … and half of Gryffindor" chose to stay and fight. Those who were underage were told to leave, but it's not clear exactly how many of the seventh-years stayed and how many of the younger students snuck back in to fight, as Colin did.
Near the end of the battle, reinforcements arrive, led by Charlie Weasley and Professor Slughorn. They include the centaur herd, the families of students who stayed to fight, villagers from Hogsmeade, and – according to J.K. Rowling later on – a group of Slytherin students.
So, about 40 or 50 people initially stayed to fight for Hogwarts, and maybe another 100 people came to help later. The movie is very realistic in the way it portrays the heroes' forces – if anything, it makes them too small by not including the reinforcements.
Naturally, it looks impressive to have fifty intrepid heroes taking on an army of a thousand villains, but is it realistic?
No exact numbers are given for the number of Death Eaters, but we can assume they outnumber the heroes, since heroes tend to be portrayed as underdogs fighting a more powerful enemy.
In Goblet of Fire, a small group of Death Eaters arrives to witness Voldemort's return in the graveyard. This group consists of those who survived the first war and did not go to prison. Only seven named characters are there, but it's mentioned that he did not speak to them all. In Order of the Phoenix, fifteen Death Eaters escape from Azkaban, including the Lestranges. However, for the most part, it's not clear which group the Death Eaters introduced in the last two books were part of, and some may have joined later. The only definite conclusion is that the number of people in his inner circle was at least in the mid 20's, putting it at a similar size to the Order of the Phoenix.
Here's a list of Death Eaters who are (or might be) still alive when the Battle of Hogwarts begins, as well as prominent supporters who were not in the official inner circle but were definitely at the battle: Bellatrix, Rhodolphus, and Rabastan Lestrange; Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco Malfoy; Severus Snape; Alecto and Amycus Carrow; Fenrir Greyback; Pius Thicknesse; Avery; Dolohov; Crabbe Sr; Goyle Sr; Yaxley; Jugson; MacNair; Mulciber; Nott Sr; Rookwood; Selwyn; Rowle; and Travers.
Fenrir Greyback's werewolves. Let's assume that about 1% of wizards are werewolves, since it seems like a very rare condition. That would mean about 80 werewolves, and statistically ten of those should be Hogwarts students. As far as we know, Professor Lupin is the only werewolf at Hogwarts in Harry's time, so even 1% is probably a high estimate. But let's say there are 80 werewolves, and let's say half of them are following Fenrir Greyback.
The Snatchers. The Snatchers were not at the Battle of Hogwarts in the books, but they were in the movies, so let's include them. The Snatchers were bounty hunters who tracked down Voldemort's enemies: muggle-born wizards, Order members, and so on. The two we know of are Greyback and Scabbior, and presumably some of the other werewolves were also involved. Ron describes them as being "everywhere", so there have to be a lot of them. However, it's unlikely they would all be at the Battle of Hogwarts. They were not part of Voldemort's inner circle or even necessarily operating on his direct orders. They did not have the Dark Mark, so many might not even have known when Voldemort summoned his forces. But let's say there were 100 Snatchers at the Battle of Hogwarts and Harry simply didn't notice them in the book.
Ministry employees. Pius Thicknesse was at the battle, and I included him on my first list. I don't think it's likely that many others were, even those loyal to Voldemort. They had a government to run, after all, and it's not as if Voldemort knew this was going to be the final battle.
Imperius victims. We're told that Voldemort uses the Imperius curse to control people and force them to fight for him, but it's unclear how many people are actually being controlled this way. The confirmed list of imperius cases is very short: Pius Thicknesse, Stan Shunpike, Viktor Krum in Goblet of Fire, Broderick Bode and Sturgis Podmore in Order of the Phoenix, and a muggle man in Half-Blood Prince. For the most part, it seems to have been a convenient excuse for people like the Malfoys after Voldemort's first disappearance. However, let's be generous and say Voldemort has twenty Imperius victims fighting for him at the Battle of Hogwarts.
Slytherin students. Now, this is where it gets tricky. In the movie, the Slytherins are locked in the dungeon, but in the book, they are evacuated to Hogsmeade along with all the underage students and those who chose not to fight. Voldemort tells Lucius Malfoy that Draco did not come to join them "like the rest of the Slytherins", implying that all of them went straight to Voldemort and presumably fought for him. However, J.K. Rowling has since said that this is not the case, and that some Slytherins who were not loyal to Voldemort actually helped Professor Slughorn gather reinforcements to defend the school. Presumably others, especially the younger ones, simply went home. Voldemort was trying to scare Malfoy by questioning his son's loyalty, so it's not hard to believe he exaggerated.
Let's say Pansy Parkinson and Theodore Nott went to Voldemort; Nott because his father is a Death Eater and Pansy because she made her position quite clear. Let's also say Daphne Greengrass and Tracey Davis help Slughorn gather reinforcements; Daphne because, in Cursed Child, her sister and nephew are among the most unambiguously good Slytherin characters, and Tracey because she's half-blood and has a normal-sounding name, which indicate she wasn't raised with the kind of snobbery and prejudice that lead one to support Voldemort. Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle went to the Room of Requirement, which leaves Blaise Zabini and Millicent Bulstrode, both unpleasant but not directly linked to the Death Eaters, and one unnamed girl if the 5 students per gender per house per year thing is accurate. However, if there are 1,000 students at Hogwarts, there could be as many as 35 Slytherin seventh-years.
Let's go with 10. Let's say that two helped Slughorn, five went to Voldemort, and of course, three went to the Room of Requirement. Now let's say there are 20 sixth years. Four helped Slughorn, ten went to Voldemort, and six went home. Let's say that most of the younger kids went home or didn't fight, since there's no mention of Voldemort sending 11-year-olds into battle. That would mean 15 Slytherins, about half of the older students, went directly to Voldemort and fought with the Death Eaters. These numbers are, like the ones for the Snatchers and werewolves, totally arbitrary but hopefully within a reasonable range.
… (and, as we've already established, the Death Eaters were just the inner circle, not the majority of Voldemort's supporters) … if about 1/6 of adult British wizards were Death Eaters and maybe twice that many supported or worked for Voldemort in some capacity, then how are we supposed to believe this world was rebuilt and all was well?
Is he dead? Is he alive?
What will you do now that all hope is gone?
Will you give up the fight you've fought for so long?
Or stand up and do what is right?
Harry has to choose between what's right and what's easy in every single book, and he always chooses the former. When he goes after the troll to save Hermione, when he fights a basilisk to save Ginny, and when he travels back in time to save Sirius, he is choosing the right thing over the much easier alternative of simply doing as he's told and letting events unfold without him. Likewise, Ron and Hermione often make those choices alongside him. As the series goes on, he seems to have less of a choice – Voldemort wants him dead – but even then, he chooses to fight him. Near the end of Deathly Hallows, when Aberforth encourages him, Ron, and Hermione to flee the country rather than face Voldemort, they refuse to even consider it. And, of course, running away might become even more tempting once he realizes he has to die in order for Voldemort to become mortal, but Harry is willing to lay down his life to protect his friends, just as his mother sacrificed herself to save him. That's not an easy choice to make.
Order of the Phoenix is all about the choice between what's right and what's easy. It's what separates the Order from the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore's Army from the Inquisitorial Squad. It's easy for Fudge to deny that Voldemort is back; it would be much harder to admit the truth. It's easy for the Daily Prophet to publish whatever "news" will sell and scandalize, but harder for Harry and those who support him to speak the truth when the Ministry is actively trying to silence them. It's much harder for the Order to fight against Voldemort when they find themselves at odds with the magical government as well, and Dumbledore's Army likewise refuses to let themselves be unprepared for the coming war. The DA's insistence on doing the right thing even when it's not easy becomes even more obvious in Deathly Hallows, when they spend the year fighting back against the Death Eaters who now run Hogwarts and fight on Harry's side in the final battle.
Everyone at Hogwarts has to choose between what's right and what's easy in the final battle: to evacuate or stay and defend the castle, to hand Harry over to Voldemort or fight on his side, and eventually, to surrender or keep fighting once Harry appears to be dead. Nothing says choosing what's right over what's easy like Neville telling Voldemort "I'll join you when hell freezes over", pulling the Sword of Gryffindor out of the hat, and chopping off the head of Voldemort's monstrous snake, Nagini, right there in front of everyone, especially not when – as far as he knows – Harry is already dead.
I think it's interesting that the movie-makers chose to contrast his actions with those of Draco Malfoy, a character who consistently chooses the easy path, rather than the right one or even the wrong one. He doesn't kill Dumbledore, but nor does he accept Dumbledore's offer to protect him. Later, in Deathly Hallows, he pretends not to recognize Harry, but he doesn't do anything to help him escape. In both cases, he does nothing and simply allows others to act. Draco is not in the book version of the scene where Voldemort announces Harry's "death", and I'm not a big fan of the awkward hug, but going back over to join his parents does seem consistent with his character and emphasizes that standing up to a powerful Dark Lord who seems to have already won is not an easy thing to do.
There are many characters who make the easy choice, some more sympathetic than others. Of course, that's largely a matter of personal opinion, but I think few people would argue that Peter Pettigrew's betrayal of Lily and James Potter was anything other than vile and cowardly, while on the other hand, Xenophilius Lovegood's decision to turn Harry in was very complicated due to the fact that Voldemort was holding his daughter hostage. Many more characters struggle with making the harder, better choice, like Professor Slughorn, who initially gives Dumbledore a false memory, not because he wants to protect Voldemort, but because he is ashamed of having unknowingly helped young Tom Riddle become Voldemort. The amount of nuance is surprisingly deep for a children's series, but I love it. I think it's important to understand that not everything is black and white, without downplaying the importance of trying to do the right thing.
Another thing I've noticed is that it seems harder to make the right choice after having already made the wrong one; the consequences and risks become much greater. Take Regulus Black, for instance. He joined the Death Eaters as a teenager and quickly realized it wasn't what he had expected it to be. When he found out just how far Voldemort had gone, he did the right thing, but it cost him his life. Likewise, Snape made many wrong choices as a young man, and it wasn't until he found out he had inadvertently put Lily's life in danger that he began trying to do the right thing. The Harry Potter books certainly don't send a message that morality is black and white or that you can never come back from your mistakes, even very serious ones. On the contrary, many characters do, including Dumbledore himself, who made mistakes of his own in his youth. However, they do seem to say that it takes great courage to do so, and that it's never easy.
Most people are not Voldemort. There may be some, both in fiction and reality, who care so little about right and wrong that they would hurt other people for no reason at all, but I think that most people would rather do the right thing when we can, and yet sometimes struggle with it. It's easy to tell the truth if you have nothing to hide. It's easy to be brave if you're not afraid. It's easy to stand up for what you believe in if everyone around you agrees. It's when doing the right thing is the hardest choice to make that things get difficult, and it's in those moments that our character is truly tested.

Saxo Bank's John Hardy named top currency forecaster among FX Week contributors
Anticipating macro trends and the relative policy trajectory among central banks helped Saxo Bank to top currency forecast tables throughout the year with on-target calls for G10 currency pairs.
Commenting on the win, John. J. Hardy, Saxo Bank's Head of FX Strategy, said: "We are delighted that Saxo Bank continues to be recognised for its leadership in market insight."
Looking towards 2016, Hardy added: "For the U.S. dollar, we see 2016 as all about the pace of Fed rate hikes. It has been priced in as very slow but the market is never right, so either it's going to be a lot faster than market expectations, or we'll be looking at more QE. I prefer the USD to outperform on a Fed that is behind the curve."
Published since 1990, FX Week is the industry's exclusive newsletter for foreign exchange and money market professionals working within commercial banks, investment banks, central banks, brokerages, institutional investors, multinational corporations and vendor companies serving the banks and financial institutions.
Being part of SaxoStrats, John J. Hardy and the team of strategists inform and inspire on matters of trading and market updates as they happen.
"It is a great stamp of approval of the research done by SaxoStrats and we will continue to deliver first class trade strategies and insights to both existing clients and traders and investors globally," said Claus Nielsen, Head of Markets in Saxo Bank.


This subfolder contains a suite of documents for use when there is, or there is proposed to be, a home working agreement in place. Home working is defined as when an employee carries out some or all of his or her work for the employer in his or her home. Homeworkers may be full time or part time.
Home working can work very well on both sides but you will need to consider the most effective and efficient ways in which you can keep in contact with the homeworker, for example, the frequency of email reporting, telephone contact or attendance at the office for meetings or training.
Other issues which will need to be considered are who is responsible for providing and maintaining furniture and equipment, insurance and security matters. Employers' health and safety obligations apply to homeworkers in the same way as they do to employees who work on the company's premises and so you should carry out a thorough risk assessment before any home working arrangement begins and review it regularly.

Whether you like, love or loath the term 'agile'; whether you are an agilest, traditionalist, agnostic or sceptic, the term 'agile' cannot be ignored, avoided or brushed under the carpet.
1. Agile is a passing fad. It's a mere trend, fashion or craze, or is it? Did you realise that the term 'agile' as we apply it today was 'created' back in 2001 with the Agile Manifesto? Note that the word 'agile' has its origin in Middle French, from the Latin agilis. The first known everyday use was in 1581!
'Agile' today is an umbrella term which includes many different agile methods and practices implemented globally, in business as usual and the project environment.
Suddenly we find in the translation to everyday life, this becomes 'no documentation'. Take a step back and understand the true essence of the Agile Manifesto: remember while there is value in the items on the right (eg comprehensive documentation), the items on the left (eg working software) are of greater value.
The reality is that agile methods are not about 'no documentation' but the right documentation, just enough, at the right time.
What can be done this Sprint?
How will the chosen work get done?
"Planning to sensible horizons at the right level of detail".
Remember it is still about responding to change over following a detailed, 'set in concrete' plan.
"The rules of Scrum bind together the events, roles and artefacts, governing the relationships and interaction between them".
Simply put – agile approaches still require rules, roles, artefacts and governance to operate effectively.
Don't get me wrong – the concept of 'to do', 'WIP' and 'done' is great, but a team board alone does not equate to being 'agile'!
6. Agile is only for IT. Yes the original Agile Manifesto refers to software and many agile methods focus specifically on IT (e.g. ASD, Crystal, DAD, DevOps, FDD, eXtreme Programming) but agile methods can be applied in other environments and industries. Think for example DSDM®/AgilePM®, Lean Startup, Kanban and Scrum – these can be applied in any environment, not just IT.
7. Agile is a project management method. If you are only thinking DSDM®/ AgilePM® then yes we are talking a framework for Agile project management and delivery. If however, we turn to Scrum or Kanban or even Lean for example, this is where the waters get muddied. All three can be used as approaches within a project but they are not project management methods.
Alternatively an approach like PRINCE2 Agile® could be applied, utilising PRINCE2® at the project management level and incorporating agile methods at the delivery level.
