Fire at the notre dame.
Pip's conscience
There has been a fire reported at the notre dame cathedral, evidently the spire is aflame and most of the roof as well. I will bring more details as I get them, huge tragedy, one of the most known landmarks in europe, i just hope the people behind it did it by accident and it isnt one of those dutch communist type situations since this could get ugly if it was.
More news soon.

Best source thus far.
Had the exact same thought as Trump.
"Huh, thats quite a small amount of fire trucks shooting water at the building considering its on fire, and a very small amount of helicopters."
There is now a fire in at least one of the towers. Both are still standing but the spire and the rooftop have collapsed into the interior and they believe to have lost things such as a piece of the true cross and a piece of the crown of thorns put on jesus head, so the locals believe.

RE: Firing of Notre-Dame de Paris on Île de la Cité

Coincidentally, this week is Easter Holy Week, and the Our-Lady of Paris Cathedral is the most iconically-powerfully
Catholic house-of-worship in France, at the religious heart of Paris.
As well, it belongs to the entire Terran omniculture of those appreciative of its ineffable suchness in the last eight-hundred-
years-plus of human history -- the single most-visited monument in Paris, it annually receives some twelve million tourists
from around our world.
What's been going on in Paris recently?
https://www.afar.com/magazine/what-travelers-need-to-know-about-the-paris-riots
This plausibly-accidental event will have a massive effect upon the targeted sub-social-memory-complex, whether
its personnel choose to be sympathetically thrown-down in demoralization (and thus cunningly primed for Helter-Skelter
against [*enter systematically-demonized racial/religious enemy du jour here*] or lifted-up, phoenix-like, freed aspirationally
via a final disambiguation for itself of the difference between material symbolism of spirituality -- however treasured,
however mundanely valuable -- and spirituality itself, which is priceless, and only to be found in altruistic service
to others. Gargantuan, age-hoary structures tied to one particular Earth-culture are not absolutely required for
such service, which is a supremely individual and freely-willed action, unenslaved to the conditionings of
terrestrial institutionalized tradition.

the fire has been mostly put out, the 2 spires survived but the central roof collapsed and fell inwards, the damage is substantial and the french president is vowing to rebuild the cathedral. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI4qLJ4XJbY
There were moving photos of silent people packed on surrounding bridges just watching the fires. You could feel the sorrow and there is something very feminine about the stones that notre dame is built with. There is love inside those stones. All very moving.

the sorrow felt by countless people abused by clergy of the Catholic church is far more heart wrenching
45 years ago, in the car, returning home from Mass - about 10-12 years old, out of the blue, I said to my parents, "the anti-Christ resides within the Vatican" -
Recently (Australia) the 3rd most senior member of the institution of the (entire) Catholic church was found guilty of child sexual abuse through a most thorough and and carefully researched court case. This man previously ran the compensation scheme for victims and made sure to cap the compensation payments for victims at the lowest possible amounts. He was friends with other paedophile priests, even supporting them in court. Yet denied his own crimes and was appointed to be treasurer at the Vatican these past few years.
There's strong metaphysical/spiritual significance in this fire
I hope it will be a cleansing energy
buildings are not more important than innocent children - now dead, or living as destroyed adults
half the pupils at the school Cardinal Pell was at, have since committed suicide
NB: Careful with reading these articles if you're an assault survivor as they're graphic
(As an assault survivor it makes me speechless with distress and rage.)

Quote: Chrissie Foster calls for George Pell's Melbourne Response to be 'torn down'
The mother of two girls abused by a Catholic priest says the conviction of George Pell on child sex abuse charges should lead to the tearing down of the controversial compensation scheme he set up for survivors of clerical sexual abuse.
Pell is Australia's most senior Catholic cleric and has been convicted of child sex abuse
Chrissie Foster said the verdict helped her understand Pell's "angry" response to her family
She is calling for the Melbourne Response established by Pell to be dismantled
Pell was last year found guilty of sexually abusing two choirboys at St Patrick's Cathedral during his time as archbishop of Melbourne in December 1996, but the verdict had been suppressed until now.
Chrissie Foster's daughters Emma and Katie were raped by Melbourne priest Kevin O'Donnell while they were at primary school in the 1980s.
Emma suffered from eating disorders, drug addiction and self harm and in 2008 she overdosed on medication and died, aged 26.
Katie became a binge drinker as she reached adulthood and was hit by a drunk driver in 1999. She was left physically and mentally disabled, requiring 24-hour care.
Ms Foster said Pell's guilty verdict helped her understand why Pell had been "so angry" when she and her husband Anthony asked him for help in the late 1990s.
'Angry' Pell told parents to prove allegations in court
Ms Foster said they had approached the then-archbishop in 1997 after O'Donnell had already pleaded guilty to committing child sexual abuse against other children.
The child sex abuse royal commission heard that the Catholic Church had been aware of allegations of O'Donnell's abuse as early as 1958.
"He was a paedophile, he pleaded guilty to 31 years of offending. He was currently in prison, pleaded guilty. What could [Pell] argue about it?"
Ms Foster claimed Pell became agitated and told the parents they had better be sure they could substantiate their allegations against O'Donnell in court.
"What proof is there? My five-year-old did not take a video camera with her when O'Donnell took her to there and video it to say 'ah, here's the proof'," she said.
She said the news of Pell's conviction for child sex offences committed in 1996 had shed new light on the interaction.
"Now I look at it and I think, my goodness, this is why he was trying to shut us down then."
'Someone right at the top, committing these offences'
During his time as archbishop, Pell was one of the architects of the church's controversial Melbourne Response, which was set up to compensate victims of clergy abuse.
A 2015 report into the scheme recommended it be operated and administered independently of Melbourne archbishop's office.
How one man's testimony brought down George Pell, a giant in the Catholic Church, and Australia's most senior cleric.
Ms Foster said that scheme, which initially capped payments to abuse survivors at $50,000, should be closed in the wake of Pell's conviction.
"I think everything that he has said on this issue and everything he has put in place on this issue, should be torn down."
Ms Foster sat through a number of days of court hearings in the Pell case, and said "it was amazing" when the guilty verdict was handed down.
"This is actually someone right at the top, committing these offences," she said.
"And maybe there's a lot of scared clergy out there, which would be good, because this should be hunted down and punished through the courts, because it should've happened a long time ago.
Cardinal George Pell was found guilty of child sex offences last year, in a courtroom full of journalists. So why is the verdict only being made public now?
"We've got a bit of catching up to do."
Former chief executive of the Catholic Church's Truth, Justice and Healing Council Francis Sullivan said he was shocked by the conviction.
The council was responsible for coordinating the Catholic Church's official response to the Royal Commission Into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, including detailing the Melbourne Response.
Asked whether he had been lied to regarding Pell's sincerity in wanting to help victims through the scheme, he said: "I don't know. It's a tough day."
"I'm just pretty upset. It's a big shock. It is a really big shock," he said.
"It's really hard for a lot of Catholics, people who obviously know Cardinal Pell well will be devastated and shocked.
"As a Catholic myself, I think God, has it come to this?
"When you have a Cardinal being convicted, it's more than a person being convicted in a way, it's like our whole approach to life has been put through the wringer."
When police first put abuse claims to him in a conference room at a Rome airport, George Pell described the allegations as "absolute and disgraceful rubbish".
Mr Sullivan said the institution of the church — separate to the church community — had been "brought to its knees" by the issue.
"It has lost its credibility, frankly, it is still struggling to come to terms with that," he said.
"In lots of ways it still uses inertia to manage these issues away. There's an arrogance that's still there about this, in the institutional player, and until they realise the community has turned their back on them then that institution is doomed."
In a statement, the president of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, Archbishop Mark Coleridge, said bishops were "shocked" by the guilty verdict.
He said the bishops respected the legal system and hoped justice would be served, and had committed themselves anew to making the church a safe place for all, "especially the young and vulnerable".
Melburnians reacted with a mix of emotions following the revelation of the guilty verdict, with local ABC radio inundated with messages and calls on Tuesday morning.
George in Melbourne said he was a victim of abuse and was nearly in tears when he heard the news while driving into the city.
"All my life I've been told I was a liar. I did something wrong. It was my fault from these people in power," he said.
"Today, someone has actually come around — the judge [and] the jury — and said, 'We believe you. We believe what happened. We believe you'.
"I actually cheered when I heard that he had been convicted. But at the same time there's a lot of sadness that has gone on for so long and it's damaged so many people's lives."
Others called for the church to be destroyed and for the police to seize all church documents.
The Richmond Football Club announced they would be removing Pell as a vice patron of the club.
"While acknowledging his right to appeal, the club has formed a view that his association is no longer tenable or appropriate," it said in a statement."

I think the burning of a cathedral is quite symbolic... these places are supposed to be holy.. yet they're stained by spiritual authorities. maybe that adds the sad energy to it.
What I'm saying is, maybe the spritual stain is the problem rather than flood, or fire.
A building burns in europe and the world goes crazy.. but when the towns here get drowned no one gives a s***.

Just saw this link in my facebook timeline... (author - Mathew Remski)
Quote: Inspired by an essay by Catherine Ingram (linked within).
"The cathedral will be rebuilt, with gusto and relief, because we cannot rebuild the Larsen Ice Shelf, nor replant the Amazon. Rebuilding will return us to the productivity we know, displacing an anxiety we cannot confess to any priest."
http://matthewremski.com/wordpress/our-lady-of-the-extinction%ef%bb%bf/
Our Lady of the Extinction
A few have already started to murmur it.
Quietly, because it feels sacrilegious, or too soon. And of course there was beauty, identity, and deep attachment. There was a gilded crown of thorns.
Yet everything moves so quickly. Both fire, and the vow to rebuild the past.
The vow is not to rebuild the deep past of primeval forests or oral culture. Nor to rebuild the Museo Nacional in Rio, nor sacred indigenous sites the world over. But to rebuild what it has meant to be European, French, and Christian. Or the dream of such things, circa the industrial age.
Because there is no other time to speak the truth about having no time, some voices are saying:
We all live in a burning cathedral, together. It's much older than 800 years. Can we see the flare in Paris as a microcosm?
Watch the spire collapse. You can feel its internal strength turning to cinders. For a moment, the fire itself seems to offer support. There's a pause. Perhaps prayers are also keeping it aloft. Then it leans, and you know it is falling into ash.
It's just like watching the Ilulissat Glacier calve. The same quivering pause, before mass movement that starts with imperceptible splintering. But the scale is vast. They said it was like watching Manhattan fall into the sea, all at once.
When the ice falls, the water rises. The charred spire flattens into the pavement at a new ground zero. Waves of sorrow and hubris rise in displacement.
Notre Dame's roof was a tinderbox of 13,000 trees, extracted from ancient forests. Hewn and raised with extracted labour into an alternative canopy, something better than the sky. To house relics, to validate relics, to hoard wealth, to symbolize material and spiritual empire, to tighten the tension between mystery and certainty, to inspire awe and fervor, to enshrine the names of powerful men, to worship the family unit from which all hymns flow and which all of this industry exploits, to freeze female bodies into statues of objectified melancholy.
It's what male desire and power do. It's what those of us who can do, do: accumulate value into magnificent burn piles, which for a few centuries can represent and rationalize the noble effort. So few of us see who or what we are stealing the raw materials from. I cannot recall paintings of medieval deforestation, nor of gold mines in French colonies, nor of whatever Vichy meeting preserved Notre Dame from the Luftwaffe.
It's not just an accumulation of wealth and aspiration, but of an attention that makes so many other things invisible. Some are pointing out, respectfully, that black churches are burning every week. Or that the dazzle of rose windows can distract us from who has been violated beneath them.
Of course there is a vow to rebuild. Because the scale is conceivable. In a great tradition, neo-feudalists can step forward to perform magnanimity. Don't ask what they were doing with their 300M Euros yesterday.
The government will be invigorated by a reunification project. It will find common cause once again with captains of industry. Perhaps the yellow vests will be pacified, or even pitch in.
The cathedral will be rebuilt, with gusto and relief, because we cannot rebuild the Larsen Ice Shelf, nor replant the Amazon. Rebuilding will return us to the productivity we know, displacing an anxiety we cannot confess to any priest.
How will this not bolster white supremacy? From Moscow, Putin has offered to send elite carpenters. The subtext, tweeted a thousand times, is that Europe must band together to preserve itself from the refugees of the global fire it set alight.
They will pour more concrete, forge more steel, and harvest more trees. They will create and consecrate a simulation of the past. The completion date will be set for after the Paris Agreement deadlines. The finished project may feature holograms.
I grew up Catholic, in the age before climate chaos. I was taught to believe in God before I learned to listen to the world. I spent many hours in spaces that sought, with colonial affect, to mimic the grandeur of Notre Dame. I lit candles, gazed at the pierced heart, meditated on the vaults. I blinked at the statue of a nordic St. Michael skewering an African Lucifer with his golden lance. I played the pipe organ and sang soprano, and then tenor.
It was a troubled home. When I first visited Notre Dame in my 20s, I could feel its damp foundation. This was where I was from, but I didn't feel at rest. I went through periods of fantasizing myself as a prodigal son, accepted once again. It never lasted. I loved my elders with a subtle disorganized attachment.
I'm certain I remember sitting in front of a Madonna and Child in Notre Dame, wondering What would she think of all this?
I wonder if I'll see images of her again, with molten lead and charred latticework at her marble feet.
Despite itself, sometimes the old patriarchal literature captured a treasure. The scribes of Luke hinted at Mary's foreboding. That she felt the fate of her strangely aware baby. That he would be murdered at a young age by priests and bureaucrats for suggesting that humans could take a different path. For some quip he would make about lilies in the field putting Solomon to shame.
The sculptors carve her holding him close, not against the elements, but against a civilization that builds its gorgeous prisons around them.
We can feel her warmth, and that nothing else matters. The roof needs no repair for this love to persist. She's used to living in sheds. She's used to not knowing when the end will come.
She would ask us not to rebuild, but to redirect. But she knows no one listens to her. She is Our Lady of the Extinction. She holds the baby, and every fear, and every moment of tenderness we muster. She treasures up all these things, and ponders them in her heart.
Somehow not surprised that people are calling it a good thing, the anti-christian bashing is quite strong right now.

I find it crazy that people are donating so much money to the rebuilding project. Over $1 Billion being donated to one of the richest organizations in the world. The Catholic Church is worth more than $100 Billion in total assets, they can afford to rebuild the church.
Imagine if the rich were this willing to donate to humanitarian causes. We could end poverty.

Probably only temporally.
Poverty is an infinite problem. I don't think unlimited dollars will help forever.
It keeps ongoing.
Just get people jobs, or help with mental issues and provide them welfare.

I am not Catholic and I love Jesus, but I can't say I feel really like I am a christian then. Still I love walking in a cathedral and sitting in silence there, just because so many did the same thing before me. I think this is the case of many so, it will be well if it is rebuilt and one can sit in silence there again as you sit in silence in a forest..

"Notre Dame is on an island, surrounded by water ... and it burns down ... that's in-Seine!"
---Some guy inadvisedly attempting levity
Ex-First-Lady pictured sipping wine on the top-deck of the luxury scenic-tour-boat on which she was a passenger the evening
of the conflagration (she was in Paris on a promotion-tour of her recently-published memoir, Becoming). It cruised the Seine River
past the iconic monuments of Paris; the Captain deftly departed from his standard course when he understood the situation.
Mme O. social-media'd this message:
"I will never forget the first time I walked into the Notre Dame Cathedral. I was a teenager on a school trip to Paris.
It was my very first international trip, and until then, I hadn't seen much outside of the South Side [Chicago] neigh-
borhood I grew up in. But the majesty of Notre Dame -- the history, the artistry, the spirituality -- took my breath
away. The feeling was almost indescribable -- a place that lifts you to a higher understanding of who we are and who
we can be. Every time I've visited in the years since, including as First Lady, I felt the same thing. So being here in
Paris tonight, my heart aches with the people of France. Yet I know that the Notre Dame I experienced all those years
ago, as so many others have over the centuries, will soon awe us again."

Some Orion theme-songs:
"Those who started the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral will never be prosecuted, as the fire was expertly-set and left no clues.
Despite the many conspiracy theories abounding, it was not ISIS, though they did attempt to set fire to the Cathedral in 2016.
Nor was it for a False Flag event to distract from the Mueller Report findings set to be released this week. Notre Dame Cathedral
has long been a target, due to its symbolism, just as the religious sites in Jerusalem are targets of those wanting to make a
statement against the Jewish or Islamic religions.
".... Biblical and other religious texts often refer to the equivalent of World War III breaking out as the End Times arrive, or even
ushering-in the End Times. Since the Rapture or times of peace afterwards -- the 1,000 years of peace -- for the faithful are another
message, there are some who cling to religion who seek to expedite the end. A religious war, engulfing the world.
"This requires the appearance of religions attacking each other. The fastest way to project this appearance is to attack holy sites.
Many angels, in attendance on Earth at the present time, have stymied some of these attacks, as the Council of Worlds allows
things, but not people, to be manipulated by benign aliens. Those fostering and promulgating these attacks are still allowed to
take action to the extent their soul is marked with this karma, but not enough harm is done to engulf the world in a final conflagration."

Fire Started By Some Rogue Pixels
From YouTube page intro:
Someone noticed a flash on the roof of Notre Dame a while before the fire, from a webcam.
I looked at the stored timelapses (each hour gets a one minute timelapse, one second is one
minute) from the webcam and found a shadow (person?) moving on the roof and a flash.
Correction: The timelapse might not be a timelapse. Look at previous 1 min. movies, the
shaking of the cam seems like a timelapse, but later when the fire starts, the flames don't
look like a timelapse. Don't know.
The clip is marked 15/04 17:05 on the webcam-site and the flash is at 23 se[c.] with some
movement a couple of seconds before. Meaning this (might be se[c.] correction above) is
several minutes in real time.
There might have been a person doing something there about an hour before the fire started.
The workers had a day off.
Another correction: The workers were working but closing up shop for the day.
Dekalb, they were taking out I think eight copper statues just before. These statues were lit by light projectors. I was just wondering if some electrical cords might not have been just cut not sealed and at some point a short circuit happened.. it's just another option, nothing else.


1,006 backers pledged $65,014 to help bring this project to life.
Tomorrow, 50 billion connected objects will fill our everyday lives. Today, Internet-of-Things pioneers need easy-to-use and versatile, yet powerful tools to help them shape the future.
The AirBoard is an Open-Source, compact, wireless and ultra power efficient development platform designed to learn, sketch and deploy your prototype out in the field.
There are a number of educational tools on the market to facilitate transient prototyping. They are great for learning electronics but may be difficult to deploy out in the field. The challenge today is to accelerate the deployment of smart Things, with a seamless experience from novice to expert.
The AirBoard offers the same type of solderless connector as the Arduino UNO which makes connection ultra-simple for beginners and encourages direct experimentation.
We focused on the most versatile I/O pins, in order to lower the cognitive effort required in learning electronics and rapidly switching between different projects.
This open connector is also the fastest and cheapest way to connect your sensors.
When prototyping hardware, it's pretty fast to set up a sketch but when it comes to moving it around, carrying to a friend's place, embedding it in a harsh environment or deploying a network of smart devices, wiring makes it so frustrating.
Upload your regular Arduino sketches remotely out in the field over Bluetooth, WiFi or XBee.
Deeply embedded Things may be hard to reach for various reasons (connected to a system, sealed, in a remote location). The AirBoard offers automatic Over-The-Air Programming (OTAP) over Bluetooth, Wifi or XBee. No reset button, download your code remotely in just 5 seconds!

Our 20+ years of electronics expertise in top space, nuclear and semiconductor industries exposed us to quality, hi-reliability, worst-case analysis and risk management.
We didn't rush into crowdfunding a partially designed (not to mention tested) product. 100 units of the initial design were produced back in 2011 and then extensively tested for over 2 years. We then went back to the drawing board to design a brand new, tremendously improved product in terms of performance and safety.
We secured the production process with two runs of pre-production prototypes and partnered with one of the major European PCB manufacturers operating a local factory, for seamless transition between R&D and ramp up production.
The production schedule incorporates long lead time mass production components in order to secure the delivery target.

«Котёнок по имени Гав (история пятая)» — заключительный, пятый мультипликационный фильм из цикла «Котёнок по имени Гав» для детей. Создан в честь умершего кинорежиссёра Льва Атаманова.

Сюжет
Приближаются холода. Дом и двор опустели. Котёнок Гав и щенок Шарик, по совету Пса, решают найти себе хозяев.

По пути от родного двора до больших домов котёнок и щенок сначала встречают толстого мальчика, которого заинтересовали не зверята, а бесхозные санки, на которых они спускались с горы. Обиженные, герои бредут дальше и уже у самых домов встречаются с двумя ребятами, девочкой и мальчиком, которые в это время лепили снеговика. Гава берёт себе девочка, а Шарика — мальчик.

Друзья полагают, что расстаются навсегда, и с грустью прощаются. Но ребята объясняют им, что живут в соседних квартирах, а значит, они могут видеться каждый день!

The Bezu to Rise 24-Stories at 100 4th Avenue North
October 02, 2017 / Anthony Close
With demand strong and land at a premium in Downtown St. Pete, real estate developers are increasingly turning to small parcels of land for large-scale projects. Most recently, The Bezu, which was announced last week at 100 Fourth Avenue North, is a proposed 24-story luxury condominium building at the site of the previously proposed Brownstones townhome project. That project, which was delayed for various reasons, proposed four large townhome units reminiscent of New York City's brownstones. This new tower proposal is much denser in land use and features a sleek, modern building with 24 residences.

NY JUDGE ISSUES 89 PAGE RULING AGAINST REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER OVER WHITEWASHING 5POINTZ MURAL
On June 13, 2018, New York U.S. District Judge Frederic Block issued an 89-page detailed explanation to why he denied New York City real estate developer Jerry Wolkoff a new trial. The opinion stated that Wolkoff "lied, was reckless and irresponsible" and demonstrated "egregious behavior" in court.
Judge Bloc called the whitewashing "an act of pure pique and revenge," and even accused him lying in court in 2013 in an attempt to prevent a preliminary injunction from being issued that would have prevented the developer from whitewashing the mural.
This order re-affirms an earlier ruling against Wolkoff that he violated federal law when he whitewashed New York's 5Pointz mural in 2013. Wolkoff will now have to take his arguments to the Second Circuit, but not before paying a claim for $2.6 million in attorneys' fees and costs.
The case is Cohen et al. v. G&M Realty LP et al., case number 1:13-cv-05612, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

Q: Handling multiple rows in SQL Server trigger We have a database with a table called WarehouseItem where product's stock levels are kept. I need to know when ever this table get's updated, so I created a trigger to put the primary key of this table row that got updated; into a separate table (like a queue system).
This is my trigger:
IF ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sys.triggers WHERE name = 'IC_StockUpdate') > 0)
    DROP TRIGGER [dbo].[IC_StockUpdate]
GO
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[IC_StockUpdate] ON [dbo].[WarehouseItem]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN

    -- Get Product Id
    DECLARE @StockItemID INT = (SELECT ItemID FROM INSERTED);
    DECLARE @WarehouseID INT = (SELECT WarehouseID FROM INSERTED);

    -- Proceed If This Product Is Syncable
    IF (dbo.IC_CanSyncProduct(@StockItemID) = 1)
    BEGIN

        -- Proceed If This Warehouse Is Syncable
        IF (dbo.IC_CanSyncStock(@WarehouseID) = 1)
        BEGIN

            -- Check If Product Is Synced
            IF ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM IC_ProductCreateQueue WHERE StockItemID = @StockItemID) > 0)
            BEGIN

                -- Check If Stock Update Queue Entry Already Exists
                IF ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM IC_StockUpdateQueue WHERE StockItemID = @StockItemID) > 0)
                BEGIN

                    -- Reset [StockUpdate] Queue Entry
                    UPDATE IC_StockUpdateQueue SET Synced = 0
                    WHERE StockItemID = @StockItemID;

                END
                ELSE
                BEGIN

                    -- Insert [StockUpdate] Queue Entry
                    INSERT INTO IC_StockUpdateQueue (StockItemID, Synced) VALUES
                    (@StockItemID, 0);

                END

            END
            ELSE
            BEGIN

                -- Insert [ProductCreate] Queue Entry
                INSERT INTO IC_ProductCreateQueue (StockItemID, Synced) VALUES
                (@StockItemID, 0);

                -- Insert [StockUpdate] Queue Entry
                INSERT INTO IC_StockUpdateQueue (StockItemID, Synced) VALUES
                (@StockItemID, 0);

            END

        END

    END

END
GO

This works perfectly fine, if only a single row is updated in the "WarehouseItem" table.
However, if more than one row is updated in this table, my trigger is failing to handle it:

Is there a way to iterate through the "inserted" collection after a mass update event? Or how does one handle multiple row updates in trigger?

A: You use this:
-- Get Product Id
DECLARE @StockItemID INT = (SELECT ItemID FROM INSERTED);
DECLARE @WarehouseID INT = (SELECT WarehouseID FROM INSERTED);

But if you update multi rows (as your sample) you must use a different strategy.
For example, instead to declare a variable, use INSERTED table in JOIN in query where now you use your variable.
IF statement works on your variable but I think to move that condition in query.
Try to change you UPDATE query in this way (eventually add condition of IF):
-- Reset [StockUpdate] Queue Entry
UPDATE IC_StockUpdateQueue SET Synced = 0
FROM inserted
WHERE inserted.itemID = StockItemID;

And so on.
For further information please add comment.

A: You could use a loop to iterate over INSERTED but it may be better to change your scalar variables into a TABLE and INSERT-SELECT from INSERTED where the IDs meet the criteria of the first two IFs
DECLARE @inserted TABLE (StockItemID INT, WarehouseID INT)

INSERT INTO @inserted (StockItemID, WarehouseID)
SELECT StockItemID, WarehouseID
FROM INSERTED i
WHERE dbo.IC_CanSyncProduct(i.StockItemID)=1
AND dbo.IC_CanSyncStock(i.WarehouseID)=1

then you can remove the if else upsert logic and use queries that further filter @inserted for the various updates and inserts that are required
;WITH ResetQueueEntry
(
    SELECT StockItemID
    FROM @inserted i
    WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM IC_ProductCreateQueue q WHERE q.StockItemID = i.StockItemID)
    AND EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM IC_StockUpdateQueue q WHERE q.StockItemID = i.StockItemID))
)

-- Reset [StockUpdate] Queue Entry
UPDATE IC_StockUpdateQueue
SET Synced = 0
WHERE StockItemID IN (SELECT StockItemID FROM ResetStockUpdate);

WITH InsertQueueEntry
(
     SELECT StockItemId, 0 Synced
     FROM @inserted
     WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM IC_ProductCreateQueue q WHERE q.StockItemID = i.StockItemID)
     AND NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM IC_StockUpdateQueue q WHERE q.StockItemID = i.StockItemID))
)
-- Insert [StockUpdate] Queue Entry
INSERT INTO IC_StockUpdateQueue (StockItemID, Synced)
SELECT StockItemID, Synced
FROM InsertQueueEntry

WITH CreateProductEntry
(
     SELECT StockItemId, 0 Synced
     FROM @inserted
     WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM IC_ProductCreateQueue q WHERE q.StockItemID = i.StockItemID)
)
-- Insert [ProductCreate] Queue Entry
INSERT INTO IC_ProductCreateQueue (StockItemID, Synced)
SELECT StockItemId, Synced
FROM CreateProductEntry

WITH CreateStockEntry
(
     SELECT StockItemId, 0 Synced
     FROM @inserted
     WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM IC_ProductCreateQueue q WHERE q.StockItemID = i.StockItemID)
)
-- Insert [StockUpdate] Queue Entry
INSERT INTO IC_StockUpdateQueue (StockItemID, Synced)
SELECT StockItemId, Synced
FROM CreateProductEntry

A: in case of the trigger is for  INSERT, UPDATE
this code will exit the trigger IF Records are being updated AND more than one record is being afftected:
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Deleted) > 1
  BEGIN
     Return
  END

But if you wish to examin every record in the INSERTED recordset you can use this method:
   DECLARE rstAST CURSOR FOR
   SELECT ins.TaskActionId,
          _Task.CustomerId,
          _AST.ASTQRId,
          ins.ExistingQRcode,
          ins.NewQRcode
          FROM Inserted ins INNER JOIN
               dbo.cdn_AST _AST ON ins.ASTId = _AST.ASTId INNER JOIN
               dbo.tsk_Task _Task ON ins.TaskId = _Task.TaskId

    OPEN rstAST
    FETCH NEXT FROM rstAST INTO @TaskActionId, @TaskCustomerId, @ASTQRId, @ExistingQRcode, @NewQRcode
    WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
    BEGIN
      --use CONTINUE to skip next record or let it traverse the loop

      FETCH NEXT FROM rstAST INTO @TaskActionId, @TaskCustomerId, @ASTQRId, @ExistingQRcode, @NewQRcode
    END
    CLOSE rstAST
    DEALLOCATE rstAST

BROOKLYN - tell us your story!
Rebecca Smythe
One of the great things about a film like Brooklyn is that it resonates with people from all walks of life. We've heard stories from fans all over the world who relate to Eilis' journey -- and now we would love to hear yours. Share a photo and story from your family's history and use #HomeIsHome for a chance to be featured on our social channels!
Here's a story from Anne Marie Sheery who reached out to Nick Hornby to share her mother's journey:
I attended the screening of Brooklyn last night and I had hoped I could ask you a question at the end, honestly, I had bawled my way through the movie - so I didn't trust myself to be coherent.
The film is a triumph, it is a rare experience when you see the awaited movie after reading the book and feel dazzled by it, I will be thinking about this for weeks, as I was after reading the book. This is a major credit to you, for the adaptation. It was so sensitive to the novel and just perfect. Beautiful. In fact all the elements, acting, story, direction, editing have come together in such a perfect way! A rare thing, so it must have been an amazing project to work on for all involved.
I read the novel twice, once myself and once for my mam (not mummy, no, we would never call her that, Saoirse is right) My mam had a stroke a few years earlier and I wanted to read it to her because like Eilis, she had travelled to NYC in the early fifties on a liner from Cobh. Unlike Eilis's story, mam returned two and a half years later to marry my dad. They had met before she left and they courted by letter across the atlantic. My Dad must have had a Frankie hidden away somewhere because he can't spell to save his life! Anyway, she returned with her two trunks of clothes, a big success story, she later said she couldn't wear the NY fashion on the streets of Naas for fear of jealous women jibing at her. There was a moment of this in the movie when Eilis had returned to Enniscorthy wearing the sunglasses.
My mam enjoyed me reading Brooklyn to her but there were days where she would say "enough now, I'm tired, Lovey" She died in 2011 but if she had seen it, she would have loved it, she would probably say "The boat wasn't like that, it was great fun on the boat, the food was lovely and there was a cinema on the boat."
When my parents argued over the years, my mother would exclaim how she should have stayed in America and married the french diplomat and not returned to marry that," (pointing to my dad scratching his head like Homer Simpson watching the TV). She was torn all her life as unlike most, she did return. She said her mother having a hold over her, being the main reason. But, she obviously held a special place for "Homer" in her heart. I often wander what would have happened to Moira, my mam, if she had stayed. Which brings me to the question I wished I had asked last night at the Barbican, "Is there talk of a follow up or sequel" I would love to know how Eilis's life panned out..as many would.
The small mindedness in Ireland "This feckin' Island" as my mother referred to it, always irritated at her, interestingly, this was what made Eilis' mind up to return back to the State. My mam's name was Moira Sheehy and this is a picture of her taken in 1954…she worked for New York life insurance down town, what a gal.
And here's a story from Brooklynproducer Finola Dwyer:
Brooklyn producer Finola Dwyer was drawn to Colm Toibin's novel as Eilis's story mirrored her mothers;Clare Dwyer nee Rooney married in Ireland and moved to NZ in 1951 after honeymooning In London and Rome with her husband Richard 'Dicky' Dwyer - once in Wellington, NZ she missed Ireland desperately and lived for news of 'home.'
Finola's mother Clare Dwyer (nee Rooney) returning to NZ in 1955 after a trip to her homeland, Ireland. Finola's father met and married Clare in 1951 in Dublin and bought her out to NZ, but had promised her they would return to Ireland for a visit in 1955, she had hoped they would stay in Ireland, she never saw her mother agai.

text:
The input format of the VVT is based on the SMTLib2-format. The format describes the transition relation of the program as an extended logical circuit. The basic structure of a program consists of
A state vector describing the types of the state variables
An input vector which contains nondeterministic variables
Definitions of gates
The definition of the next state
The definition of the initial state
Properties that should be verified
(program
(state ...)
(input ...)
(gates ...)
(next ...)
(init ...)
(property ...)
The state vector is a list of pairs of variable names and types. For example, if your program has an integer named "x" and a boolean called "c", the state vector would look like this:
(state (x Int) (c Bool))
The input vector has the same format as the state vector. For example, a program with a boolean input variable "y" would have the input vector:
(input (y Bool))
Gates allow you to bind expressions to names to avoid repetition of common expressions. For example, if you wanted to use the expression "x+x" more than once, you could bind it to the name "twox" like so:
(gates (twox Int (+ x x)))
To specify how the successor state is defined, we add a definition for every state variable in the "next" list:
(next (x (ite c twox x))
(c (and c y)))
The starting state of the program is specified using the "init" list:
(init (x 0) (c True))
Properties that should be verified by either vvt-verify or vvt-bmc can be specified in the list of properties. For example, to specify that "x" is always smaller than 100, we can say:
(property (< x 100))

Q: Getting value of property of object inside an array inside another array I'm developing a blog using Strapi and React and the articles in the blog have multiple categories, I get a GraphQL query from Strapi like this
(blogpostObject){

  "categories": [
    {
      "name": "Category 1"
    },
    {
      "name": "Category 2"
    },
  ],

}

I want to access the "name" value of each category and display them separated by commas each of them with an  tag with a link to another page.
so far I only came up with this solution
queryData.map(article => (
article.categories.map(category => category.name).toString().replace(/,/g, `, `)

this will render: "Category 1, Category 2", but I don't know how to add the  tag to each of them from here.
EDIT: I'm using Gatsby to build this project, so I'm using React Link component to handle internal links.
This is a sample GraphQL response
{
  "data": {
    "allStrapiArticle": {
      "nodes": [
        {
          "title": "This is my second article",

Do we need to save electricity?
Current usage: While the population of the United States has expanded 89 percent over the past 50 years, the amount of electricity use has grown 1,315 percent. Per-capita average consumption of electricity in 2000 was more than seven times as high as it was fifty years ago. The Energy Information Administration's Annual Energy Outlook 2001 report predicts that the US's near-term energy future will include greater consumption, productions, and imports.
Where does all this electricity come from?
In the United States, coal has been and continues to be the source of most electricity, accounting for over half of all electricity generated by the electric power sector in 2000. Natural gas and petroleum's combined usage stood at 19 percent in 2000, with nuclear power accounting for 20 percent of total electricity generation. Renewable energy resources (primarily derived from hydroelectric power) contributed 8 percent.
Yes. The United States was self-sufficient in energy until the late 1950s when energy consumption began to outpace domestic production. From 1970 to 2000, U.S. energy consumption grew 45 percent while production rose only 13 percent. The Nation imported more energy to fill the gap: in 2000 US petroleum imports reached an annual record level of 11 million barrels per day. Heavy reliance on fossil fuel energy imports has economic, political, as well as environmental implications. The Annual Energy Outlook 2001 report projects U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide emissions to exceed 2 billion metric tons of carbon in 2020, 33% more than in 2000.
Are we currently wasting electricity?
Yes, we are wasting electricity in our homes by using inefficient light sources. Lighting represents as much as 25% of our home's electrical use. We are lighting our homes inefficiently by continuing to use incandescent light bulbs (the same technology invented by Thomas Edison over 100 years ago!). More than 90 percent of the energy produced by incandescent lights is heat, not light.
Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights. A new 13-watt compact fluorescent light bulb produces as much light - as many lumens - as a traditional 60-watt incandescent bulb using only one-quarter of the electrical energy! Fluorescents now have a screw base that fits a normal light bulb socket and produce a wide assortment of color light that match the warm glow of incandescents. Fluorescents last 10 to 15 times longer than incandescent bulbs - 10,000 hours or more.
Standard halogens are modern versions of Edison's incandescent bulb, and they last longer - 2,250 to 3,500 hours. Yet, most people use much more wasteful high-wattage halogen tubes in their homes. Free-standing torchiere lamps use either a 300- or a 500-watt halogen tube that wastes energy by creating four times more heat than the average incandescent bulb. A 500-watt halogen reaches temperatures of over 1,200 degrees - creating a serious fire hazard. New, energy-efficient torchieres use compact fluorescent bulbs and provide 25% more light than popular halogen torchieres and use one-fourth the energy. The new compact fluorescent torchieres are also far safer than the halogen torchieres because they do not operate at the same high temperatures.
Will my compact fluorescent bulbs make a difference?
Yes. Residential use of electricity is greater than either commercial or industrial use. A single 20-watt compact fluorescent lamp used at home in place of a 75-watt incandescent will save about 550 kilowatt-hours over its lifetime. If your electricity is produced in a coal-fired power plant (like 20 percent of California's electricity is), that savings represents nearly 500 pounds of coal not burned, which means that 1,300 pounds of carbon dioxide and 20 pounds of sulfur dioxide will not get into the atmosphere.
Compact fluorescent bulbs can be found at your locally-owned hardware store. The price of a 75-watt equivalent flourescent bulb can range from $5.00 - $9.00, depending on the brand. A new generation of compact fluorescent bulbs now meets the stringent criteria for long-life and energy savings set by the federal government's ENERGY STAR® program. Check for the Energy Star® label to help you select a bulb brand. Retailers of Energy Star products often offer promotions, discounts, and rebates on these items.
Remember that, while these lights are more expensive than incandescent bulbs, they will last over ten times as long (10,000 hours vs 750 hours)! The purchase is cost effective: With the compact fluorescent bulb you will save a total of $20.50 over three years (through electricity cost savings and bulb replacement savings). If you replace 25 percent of the lights in high-use areas with fluorescents, you can save about 50 percent of your lighting energy bill.
What else can I do to save electricity?
Simply turn off lights when you don't need them or use the following inexpensive lighting controls: automatic timers, photosensors, motion detectors or occupancy sensors, and dimmers.
Turn down your thermostat. For every degree you lower your heat in the 60-degree to 70-degree range, you'll save up to 5% on heating costs. Set the thermostat back to 55 degrees or off at night or when leaving home for an extended time saving 5-20 percent of your heating costs.
Eliminate wasted energy. Unplug spare refrigerators. Turn off kitchen and bath-ventilating fans after they've done their job. Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is burning to prevent up to 8% of your furnace-heated air from going up the chimney. Insulate your water-heater.
Reduce hot water temperature. Set your water heater to the "normal" setting or 120º, if possible. Shorten showers since they account for 2/3 of your water heating costs. Cutting your showers in half will reduce your water heating costs by 33 percent. Use low-flow shower heads to reduce hot water usage.
Use appliances efficiently. Do only full loads when using your dishwasher and clothes washer. Use the cold water setting on your clothes washer since it reduces your washer's energy use by 75%. Be sure to clean your clothes dryer's lint trap. Use the moisture-sensing automatic drying setting on your dryer. Put your computer and monitor to sleep when not using. Unplug electronics when not in use to prevent leaking energy. The best way to minimize these losses of electricity is to purchase Energy Star® products.


Anyone know how much dynamic range this has in 4K video? The subjective statements that I've seen is that it has lens than Sony A7 models and that the dynamic range is comparable to the Panasonic GH4. Can anyone comment on this?
ChipMod provided a picture of the back of the sensor where we can clearly see IMX309AQJ and 1183456.
As the D800 and the D4s, which I had measured before, the D850 mercilessly cuts off everything below 120Hz (-3dB cutoff frequency of a 2nd order highpass). To be totally clear, this is the "wide" setting. The only chance for a proper frequency response is to compensate in post, which is not straightforward with most audio editors. You cannot boost low frequencies before feeding the signal into the camera, as this would seriously over-drive the analog electronics. 19dB attenuation at 30Hz means that 9 times the voltage of a 1kHz signal is needed to get the same digital amplitude.
I have slight doubts in this measurements.
The second problem: clipping in the analog domain, before the signal is digitized, and well below digital full scale. The full digital range is never used, except in sensitivity settings 19 and 20, attenuator on. For a 1kHz sine signal, the maximum amplitude is about 3dB down from, or 71% of digital full scale in most settings, which corresponds to the top two bars (the red one plus one more) of the level indicator not lighting up. But with two bars dark, a 30Hz signal can already be clipped heavily, depending on sensitivity and attenuator settings. Due to that frequency dependence of the analog clipping limit as introduced by the aforementioned, analog high pass, it is not possible to use the level indicator to reliably prevent distortions.
Very hard to understand that all this means exactly.
PV will start to do some pro level audio measurements quite soon, btw with clear scientific explanations.
Fixed an issue that in rare circumstances would delay the shutter release or the start of the autofocus operation.


The country's economy is showing signs of recovery, but many consumers are still hesitant to spend. Here's how companies can win in this evolving market.
In the past three years, declining oil prices and international sanctions have taken their toll on the Russian economy, plunging the country into financial crisis. Between 2014 and 2016, GDP fell by 1.5 percent per year on average, and private consumption by 7.1 percent. Recently, there have been glimmers of recovery—driven in part by a modest rebound in oil prices, a growing agricultural sector, and increased trade with China—and growth is expected to be as high as 1.5 percent in 2017. Still, consumer spending remains substantially below precrisis levels, and purchasing power has weakened due to the devaluation of the ruble.
Russian consumers have been adjusting to this new economic reality. They've become more selective and discerning in their purchases. In a recent consumer survey, a majority of respondents—57 percent—said they more often shop around to get the best deals. But they still buy their preferred brands, albeit in smaller quantities; only about 17 percent of Russian consumers said they have traded down to cheaper options. More than one-third said they have changed where they shop in order to buy their preferred brands at lower prices.1 1.The McKinsey Russia Consumer Sentiment Survey was conducted online in September 2016 and had 1,000 respondents.
Russia's changing retail and consumer landscape brings new challenges but also new opportunities. The most successful companies will be those that can best make data-driven decisions, manage their customer relationships, and keep costs under control.
The financial crisis in Russia has been tough on consumer-goods companies' margins, for a number of reasons. For one, a weaker ruble buys fewer raw materials, causing the cost of goods sold to rise. Retailers have substantially stepped up their promotional activity. Companies have been unable to pass on higher costs to consumers, and any price increases are outpaced by inflation.
For manufacturers, profitability has been further squeezed by the growth of modern trade, a lower-margin business for them. Modern retail now constitutes 68 percent of the Russian grocery market and is poised for more growth. Consolidation among modern grocers continues, with the top five grocery retailers accounting for a combined market share of about 27 percent, gaining approximately 6 percent between 2014 and 2016. The soft-discounter format, which already has a 22 percent share of modern trade, is the fastest-growing and most profitable modern format in the country: Russia has 112 soft-discount stores for every one million people—the third-highest density among European countries. "Alcomarkets," modern convenience stores that specialize in selling alcohol and tobacco products, grew 50 percent in 2015 alone. The online channel is also gaining popularity, growing by 19 percent a year in Russia, compared with only 7 percent a year across Europe, since 2013.
Further complicating matters for manufacturers, a newly introduced trade law puts restrictions on the producer-retailer commercial relationship. The law places a 5 percent cap on the volume discounts that manufacturers can give retailers, thus limiting manufacturers' flexibility in offering pay-for-performance trade terms.
In addition, international sanctions have negatively affected certain parts of the Russian economy. That said, the Russian government's countermeasures have provided a stimulus for local suppliers: across multiple categories, particularly those affected by sanctions, local sourcing is becoming more pervasive. From coffee to furniture, companies are finding Russian suppliers to meet local demand. The Russian agricultural sector has stepped up production, and in many categories, locally grown food has completely substituted for imports. In poultry and pork, for instance, Russia is expected to become almost entirely self-sufficient by 2019.
The strategies that consumer-packaged-goods (CPG) companies can employ to win in Russia are similar to those in other emerging markets: active management of pricing and promotions, cultivation of the traditional trade, and careful attention to costs. But the specific tactics they should use are somewhat different due to the particular context of the Russian economy.
Many Russian companies (and Russian subsidiaries of multinationals) have traditionally charged the same prices in every region of the country. Of course, pricing is a tricky matter, particularly in a market where consumer sentiment has yet to recover—but companies operating in Russia must acknowledge and capitalize on the heterogeneity of the country's regions. Income levels, macroeconomic indicators, consumer preferences, competitive dynamics, and price sensitivities vary widely from one region to the next.
Data-driven differentiation of pricing, at both the SKU and region/area level, could lead to 2 to 3 percent growth in revenue and profit. Some executives might believe there's not enough data in the Russian market to enable active pricing management, but we've found the opposite to be true: companies can in fact access vast amounts of data—including data on consumer price sensitivity and product-switching behavior—to inform the development of advanced pricing mechanics. The data are available from retailers and market-data aggregators; there are also official government statistics. Some gasoline stations already adjust prices based on factors such as traffic and weather conditions.
Active management of promotions can be a powerful lever as well. Because discounts and promotions tend to be quite effective in enticing Russian consumers to make purchases, retailers engage in promotion wars and squeeze their suppliers for additional funding—typically resulting in margin losses for both parties. Companies should use advanced analytics and big data to understand the historical performance of their promotions and estimate the impact of future promotions. When companies make data-driven choices as to which items to promote, the mechanics and timing of promotions, and the depth of discounts, they can realize margin improvements of 1 to 3 percent.
With analytics, companies can model the net effect of promotions (incremental net sales and incremental margin). They can also make fact-based estimates with regard to a variety of critical factors, such as pull-forward effects (when shoppers stock up on a promoted product, "pulling forward" purchases that they would otherwise have made at a later date); cannibalization (when customers opt for a promoted product instead of a full-priced product, resulting in lost margin for the retailer); and the halo effect (when shoppers buy additional products at the same time as a product on promotion—for instance, shoppers buying ice-cream cones when ice cream is on sale).
The buying power of large modern retailers typically allows them to purchase products from CPG manufacturers at prices 3 to 7 percent lower than what traditional retailers pay. In addition, the promotional funding that modern retailers receive from manufacturers is about 20 to 30 percent more than what traditional retailers get. These disparities give large national retailers an incentive to "leak" volumes to traditional trade—that is, they resell products purchased in bulk to smaller independent retailers, thus gaining additional profit for themselves while eroding profitability for CPG manufacturers.
CPG companies can take steps to prevent such leakage. For one, they can craft tighter trade terms that make it unprofitable for retailers to leak products. They can closely monitor sales volumes by benchmarking both regular and promotional sales across key accounts, taking into consideration seasonality and price elasticity. They can track their own sales activity as well as competitors' by acquiring transaction-level data from retailers and by having their merchandisers conduct regular checks of sales in and sales out. They can also strengthen their relationships with the traditional trade—perhaps by offering nonmonetary incentives (such as retail equipment) and loyalty programs—to stimulate direct purchasing.
Traditional trade is still, and will continue to be in the coming years, an important component of Russian retail. Many "B brands" (lower-priced, locally produced goods and services that are not well known globally) become bestsellers in modern trade but aren't available at all at independent retailers, suggesting that there is pent-up consumer demand for these lesser-known brands. Manufacturers of B brands should build a presence in the traditional trade, whether by finding distribution partners, developing their own distribution capabilities, or a combination of the two.
Best practices for achieving greater cost efficiency include using zero-based budgeting, cutting nonstrategic expenses and funneling the savings into marketing efforts, and driving down third-party costs through improved procurement, using techniques such as design to value.
Many CPG companies also look at their route-to-market model as an area in which they can easily cut costs, whether through outsourcing the sales force, sharing coverage with exclusive distributors, or migrating to lower-cost service models for lower-priority customers. For example, a large CPG manufacturer in Russia has improved its route-to-market decisions and refined its service model by conducting large-scale surveys among the outlets it serves. Depending on the outlet characteristics, the company tailors every store visit—from the type of representative who visits to the frequency and duration of the visits.
Several companies have gained efficiencies—simultaneously securing their supply chain—through vertical integration. A few of the top retailers in Russia are exploring options for acquiring and integrating manufacturing capabilities into their organizations; one major national retailer has announced a $10 million investment in production development in 2017. Some manufacturers are integrating downstream and opening their own retail chains.
The Russian market is undergoing tremendous change. Companies that take a disciplined and analytical approach will not only be able to withstand economic volatility—they will also be well positioned to thrive when the market recovers.

A Vision for the Future of The Exchange District
The Exchange District BIZ is leading a planning process in partnership with the City of Winnipeg to set a trajectory for the area's future.
Exchange District BIZ January 29, 2021 March 24, 2022 Posted in: Neighbourhood + Community, UpdatesTagged: Exchange District Plan, Future Vision, Old Market Square
It's Winnipeg's original downtown, a National Historic Site, and has become one of the City's most beloved tourist destinations in recent years. A hub for artists, hyper-local retail, and an impressive array of some of Winnipeg's best dining, the Exchange District is also becoming increasingly desirable as an urban residential neighbourhood.
Its current status as a dynamic hub of activity in the City's centre can be credited to a small group of business owners, historians, and planners in the mid 1970's who saw its potential, despite plans to demolish it wholesale to make room for freeways, superstructures and an amusement park. Developing a vision that first saw the creation of the park we now know as Old Market Square on the former site of Winnipeg Fire Hall #1, the area saw an impressive period of rejuvenation and investment in tandem with the Core Area Initiative in the early to mid 80's. This is also when it got the name the Exchange District.
Old Market Square in the early 80's
A second major round of investment and rejuvenation was kicked off in the late 90's and early 2000's following the development of the Exchange District Strategic Action Plan, and its adoption into the City's official downtown planning document, Centreplan. The principles of that plan were further articulated and drove the creation of Waterfront Drive, spurring unprecedented development on the East side of the Exchange District and solidifying the area's transformation from abandoned warehouse district to the area we know today.
Once again, we find the area at a turning point. In absence of a current vision for the area, the Exchange District faces the risk of seemingly arbitrary infrastructure decisions and unfocussed development. In recent years, controversial changes have prompted many to ask: where is the vision for the Exchange District?
Over the past year, the Exchange District BIZ has been working in partnership with the City of Winnipeg to answer that question, looking at all of the area's potential, having frank discussions about the obstacles it faces, and studying solutions that can guide decision-making in the coming years.
On Monday, February 1, 2021, the Exchange District BIZ is launching the public portion of the consultation process for this project, inviting Winnipeggers who live, work and play in the Exchange District to weigh in on the future of Winnipeg's historic core.
The public consultation kicks off with the launch of a series of essays intended to spark a conversation envisioning the area's future. Written by five Winnipeggers with diverse connections to the community (Little Brown Jug founder Kevin Selch, musician Anthony Sannie, writer Shelley Cook, long-time resident Deborah Zanke, and former Winnipeg Mayor Glen Murray), imagining what the Exchange District might be like in 30 years, each describes a vision for the potential of this unique neighbourhood and the possible futures we can look forward to if that potential is unleashed.
Starting the following week, February 8, we're asking the public to participate in a series of four surveys about the Exchange District on the themes of Community, Character, Connectivity and Resilience. The essays and surveys will be published on our blog and shared through social media as well as on the project's dedicated landing page, which you can access here. That page also includes further details about the project.
Roundtable discussions with Exchange District businesses and residents are also taking place this month. The results of this consultation process will inform the final output of the project, which aims to create a cohesive vision and plan for the Exchange District that will guide and inform future planning for the area.

Online poker, Rubah4d and sport book site Bodog and owner Calvn Ayre working on second billion
Chums from his school days remember this much about Calvin — if you beat him in a foot race, he'd make sure he'd whip you the next time out. He didn't like losing.
He was always a committed partier, but his academic interest wavered. He enrolled at the University of Waterloo to become an optometrist, but wound up with a science degree. He joined the University of Western Ontario law program, but flunked out. "I was expelled actually, " Mr. Ayre said. ". . . I might not have been quite smart enough to be a lawyer."
But he had a head for business. He set out for the West Coast and earned an MBA at City University in Seattle, graduating in 1989. Less than nine months later, at 29, he was appointed president of a small Vancouver-based company called Bicer Medical.
It looked like a promising start, but his aging Scottish grandpa wasn't impressed.
"Fred wasn't happy with the business he was in," recalled Helen Wilson, Mr. Wilson's second wife, in a phone interview.
"He didn't think it was completely on the up and up."
In 1996, the British Columbia Securities Commission fined Mr. Ayre $10,000 in a ruling that prevents him from trading securities on the Canadian Venture Exchange or acting as a director of a B.C. public company until 2016.
As part of an agreed settlement, Mr. Ayre admitted to making "misrepresentations" concerning millions of Bicer shares he controlled. The BCSC ruling says he "traded through accounts in other persons' names at several brokerage firms."
He had also breached an undertaking he gave shortly after joining Bicer — that he would stay away from a character named Erich Brunnhuber.

Disabled Access Issues For Seven?
In September 2015, the Premier League made a promise to ensure that all member clubs would make their home grounds fully compliant with the Accessible Stadia Guide by August 2017.
The statement from the Premier League at the time read.
Level Playing Field obviously welcomed the commitment at the time, but a full 12 months on to the day – yesterday – they released an updated press release stating that seven Premier League sides would miss the August deadline given current progress in that direction.
The clubs they report as not being able to meet this deadline are Chelsea, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth – whilst recently promoted Hull City, Burnley and Middlesbrough do have an additional 12 months to meet the requirement.
In a meeting with the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the Premier League itself admitted progress hadn't been as swift as originally anticipated, and EHRC Disability Commissioner (Lord) Chris Holmes, said of their admission.
The Commission warned that clubs that fail to meet the requirements for disabled access could in fact now face legal action under the Equality Act.
Level Playing Field's Chair Joyce Cook explained.
Noting that one of the most disappointing things when it came to a failure to comply, was that new builds such as West Ham's now London Stadium, and former Olympic Stadium, wouldn't now comply with the regulations unless hospitality seats were given over on a flexible basis – which will never form part of a season ticket provision – so it's a lack of planning across the board.
Clubs themselves have defended the delays by pointing out disruption to other season ticket holders with renovations and even planning permission issues to make the changes in the first place.
Those reasons didn't wash with Lord Holmes.
With seven potentially missing out, clearly progress has been made by some clubs though in recent seasons as the new agreement was drawn up following a BBC report back in 2014, and back then 17 out of the 20 member clubs failed to meet the required number of wheelchair spaces, and eight of those at the time failed to even offer half the number they should've done under national guidelines.
So 17 down to 7, with 3 of those having an extra 12 months to comply is significant progress of sorts, and for those that won't meet the deadline, it also doesn't mean improvements haven't been made, it just hasn't been enough of an improvement in applicable spaces.
For many campaigning on this issue, it simply isn't acceptable as access and numbers pretty much spent two decades not being addressed by clubs to begin with, so there's little goodwill left – especially as the Premier League effectively set their own deadline.
Taking these claims back to the Premier League, the BBC received the following response.
Some clubs gave their own responses as well, Chelsea explained that they have a planning application in with the local council for a redeveloped ground at Stamford Bridge, and should that new stadium construction be approved, their disability access in the future would exceed current requirements, Watford said they were 'very confident' of being compliant by the deadline, and Crystal Palace stated they have 'met with architects' as they continue working towards the Accessible Stadia Guidelines.
Liverpool didn't respond, but obviously feature given their £100million Main Stand redevelopment this year, which upgraded facilities for disabled fans, but didn't go far enough to meet the requirements on its own. It's believed the next stage of redevelopment will see them meet requirements.
As things stand, three clubs already meet the requirements – Leicester City, Manchester City and Swansea City. Stoke City, Arsenal, Southampton, West Bromwich Albion, Sunderland and Hull City only require minor adjustments to reach the standard, but Everton, Watford, and Manchester United are confident of achieving the requirements despite remaining at less than half the numbers recommended so far, the Telegraph report.
