Horton Hatches The Egg by Dr. Seuss
Dr. Seuss's 'Horton Hatches The Egg' was published in June of 1940 by Random House. There is one well-known story around the conception of this tale that came out through various biographers. Some believe that the story was born when Seuss left a window open and the wind carried a sketch of an elephant over towards a sketch of a tree. But, it is more likely that this endearing story has developed over time and never actually occurred. There are references to similar storylines in other prior Seuss works.
Since its publication, this book has remained quite popular and financially successful. It has a moral story at its root, as do all of Seuss's books. It encourages children to be responsible and care for those in their care. If they do these things, then they will be rewarded with a good life and eventual happiness.

2 Analysis of Horton Hatches The Egg
Summary of Horton Hatches The Egg
'Horton Hatches The Egg' by Dr. Seuss tells the story of Horton the Elephant who is tricked into sitting on an egg while the mother bird vacations.
The first part of the book describes how Mayzie, a lazy mother birth convinced Horton to sit on her egg while she takes a break. This is "break" soon turns into a vacation as the bird permanently relocates to Palm Beach. Despite this fact, Horton stays on the egg. He has to deal with numerous natural forces, such as rains and the sea. He is also laughed at by his friends and even captured by hunters. All the while he is determined to stay with the egg.
In the last part of Horton Hatches The Egg, Horton is forced into a traveling circus. The story takes the reader to Palm Beach and Mayzie comes to see the circus just as the egg is about to hatch. When it does hatch, what comes out is an elephant bird, something of a cross between Horton and Mayzie. Horton gets to return to the jungle with the baby in the end, completing the moral ark of the story.
Analysis of Horton Hatches The Egg
In the first part of Horton Hatches The Egg, Horton comes into contact with Mayzie, the lazy bird mother. She's "tired," "bored" and has a kink in her leg from sitting on the egg all day. Despite it being her duty, its work that she hates. Seuss immediately juxtaposes the irresponsible parenting style of this bird to Horton who is more than willing to help out. There is a great deal to investigate here in regards to Seuss's depiction of this female character and female characters in general. There are very few within his children's books, making Mayzie, a lazy, "bad" mother, one of the most memorable.
There is also a great visual contrast between the bird's tiny egg and the elephant's enormous body. It is something that even Horton acknowledges. Horton does as is requested despite his size and his fear that he's going to break something. Seuss uses repetition in order to emphasize how long the elephant had to sit on the egg. It is used through the use of anaphora and refrain with the phrase "And he sat".
Horton deals with numerous difficulties as he rests on the egg, during this period it becomes clear that Mayzie has abandoned her child and gone to live at the beach.
One of the best-known lines of the story, "I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful, one hundred per cent!" is spoken for the first time in this section. It is used by Horton to remind himself and any who see and hear him that he's dedicated to this task. Unlike Mayzie, he isn't going to abandon the egg.
To make his situation even more difficult, other creatures come around and taunt Horton. They claim that he thinks he's a bird and then runs away. Lonely and miserable, Horton still sits on the egg. Seuss uses dialogue in this story to depict Horton's determination as well as the other character's surprise at his resting place high up in a tree.
The tone of all who see him, such as the "friends" and the hunters are shocked and amused. Seuss uses exclamation points and short sentences in order to get his point across. There is also a great deal of rhyme in these lines with words like "sea" and "tree" as well as repetition of phrases and of individual words.
The hunters decide to take Horton to the circus where is he shown off for "ten cents a peek". It's clear that Seuss is trying to create a message for all the young readers and listeners who are exposed to this story, that one should not give up on their beliefs no matter how they are mocked nor how miserable they feel.
The circus Horton has been forced to become a part of travels everywhere. It visits familiar and unfamiliar places in the United States and everywhere "thousands of folks flocked" to see the "elephant up in a tree". "Folks flocked" is just one of many examples of alliteration in the lines of this book.
Finally, in the climax of Horton Hatches The Egg, the circus goes to Palm Beach where Mayzie the lazy mother is living. She visits and recognizes Horton. At that exact moment, the egg hatches and she demands it back, saying that he stole it from her. When the baby comes out it is a combination of an elephant and a bird.
The story concludes with everyone deciding that Horton was the "faithful" one and that he should get to take care of the baby. He is "sent home Happy / One hundred per cent". This is a clear moral message aimed at the young audience about faithfulness, sticking to one's beliefs, and how hard work can pay off in the end.

The Key Matchups Of The 2017 East NBA Playoffs
Sports NBA Basketball
It's going to be an exciting ride for the next few weeks
The 2017 NBA Playoffs are already underway and it promises to be an exciting one. But before the finals begin to take shape, the teams of the Eastern Conference must face up against each other first.
Boston Celtics vs. Chicago Bulls
The Boston Celtics arguably have one of the best team movements in the league, but this isn't what's going to take them far. It's going to be Isaiah Thomas' offensive plays, and it's going to be having both Al Horford and Amir Johnson on defense and offense. This is only going to be bettered with the help of Avery Bradley.
But the Chicago Bulls also have their own set of key players, which includes Robin Lopez and Cristiano Felicio on defense and Jimmy Butler on offense. It also doesn't hurt that they have veteran Dwayne Wade on their side. The Bulls will also be depending a great deal on Rajon Rondo to call out the plays and expertly pass the ball between his teammates.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers
Strongly playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers is LeBron James, who has a talent for driving to the basket and Kyrie Irving, who has one of the best dribbling hands in the league. There is also Kyle Korver, JR Smith and Richard Jefferson who kill it from beyond the arc. And when it comes to rebounds, there's Tristan Thompson to grab the ball and give the Cavaliers possession.
For the Indiana Pacers, there is Paul George, CJ Miles and Aaron Brooks to help on the offensive side of things. But in terms of shooting, the team has Monta Ellis and Jeff Teague for shooting. And to help round up the team is Myles Turner on defense.
Toronto Raptors vs. Milwaukee Bucks
The Toronto Raptors have Demar Derozan and Kyle Lowry to lock things down on offense. Meanwhile, there is Jonas Valaciunas and Serge Ibaka on defense, both of who can be helped by the likes of Demarre Carroll and PJ Tucker.
In a sport where height is might, the fact that the Milwaukee Bucks have one of the tallest height averages in the league will definitely come into play. Moreover, there is Giannis Antetokounmpo's offensive and defensive edge, which is only optimized by John Henson's own defensive strategies.
Washington Wizards vs. Atlanta Hawks
It isn't enough to be good at one side of the game, which is why it's vital that the Wizards are strong on the offensive and defensive fronts. There's John Wall and Bradley Beal carrying their weight on the offensive side of things, while Marcin Gortat shines in defense.
But in order to get to the finals, a team needs to have a few tricks up their sleeves. So while the Atlanta Hawks have Paul Millsap and Dennis Schroder on offense and Dwight Howard on defense, the team also has Ryan Kelly, Mike Muscala and Tim Hardaway Jr. for beyond-the-arc shots.

David Eby's Quest to Down Premier Clark
Scenes from the rivals' campaign trails as their race, said to be close, enters its last hours.
Tyler Harbottle and Jamie Williams 10 May 2011TheTyee.ca
Tyler Harbottle and Jamie Williams are pursuing a Master's degree at the UBC Graduate School of Journalism and completing a practicum at The Tyee.
NDP's Eby claims opponent uses 'Stephen Harper tactics.'
It's a rainy Saturday morning, five days before residents of Vancouver-Point Grey decide who will replace Gordon Campbell as their MLA.
Pie in Face Signals Split in Olympics Protest Movement
Will it be the familiar persona of Christy Clark, the former BC Liberal cabinet minister who left her radio show to win the job of premier, but lacks a seat in the Legislature?
Or will it be NDP candidate David Eby, the slender, six-foot-seven civil rights lawyer in a black wool coat, skinny-jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, who is shouting support, at this moment, for a crowd of demonstators outside a Kitsilano apartment?
The rally is to raise awareness for the "renovicted" -- apartment tenants who are forced from their suites by landlords looking to renovate and then jack up the rent.
Renters Tim and Amy Bratton -- soon to be "renovicted" from the grey stuccoed apartment building in the background -- deliver a plea to the Liberal government. They want tougher laws to protect tenants' rights against profit-driven landlords, not just for themselves but for all renters.
A crowd of 30 amasses behind the Brattons and Eby. Spencer Chandra Herbert, NDP MLA for Vancouver-West End, is there, too. Three TV crews and a few photographers point their lenses. Addressing the cameras, Eby promises to back renters like the Brattons.
"What the constituents in this community need, whether the renters or the owners, is a full-time MLA who will be there to fight for them," says Eby.
"It's why I'm here at this rally today. It's why I'll be supporting Tim and Amy and all the tenants of this building and it's why I'll be supporting all the constituents of Vancouver-Point Grey when I'm elected MLA, because that is what this riding needs."
The crowd gives a hearty cheer of approval.
Renters' rights is just one element of Eby's campaign platform. The hotly debated UBC Line rapid transit proposal, climate change and health care also top the list.
With the May 11 byelection fast approaching, Eby has work to do. He plans to spend the day canvassing the neighbourhood to introduce himself to the constituents.
"If nothing else it's going to be extremely close, a lot closer than they thought it was going to be," he says, heading westward towards his campaign headquarters. "As we're walking, you'll see way more Eby signs than you will Christy Clark signs."
On busy 4th Avenue there are plenty of Eby supporters, some holding banners on the street corner and others yelling to him as they drive by.
Vancouver-Point Grey stretches from Arbutus Street in the east to the University of British Columbia in the west and from Point Grey Road and the shores of Kitsilano and Jericho beaches in the north to West 16th Avenue in the south. Some 54,000 people call the riding home.
"I knew intellectually that this was a very well educated and plugged-in community," says Eby. "People are so well versed on the issues and know the details on key policy points and know the work that I've done on it."
More than 68 per cent of Vancouver-Point Grey residents aged 25 to 64 have some form of university certificate, diploma or degree, compared to 30 per cent for all of B.C., according to 2006 census data. Likewise, nearly 17 per cent are educated to the Master's level, compared to less than five per cent for the whole province.
Average household income for the riding was $66,405 in 2005.
The Christy Clark show
The evening before, Christy Clark confidently strides into the main hall of St. Mark's church in Kitsilano. More than 100 people waiting inside hoot, whistle and clap to welcome her.
The town hall meeting organized by Clark's campaign office has mainly drawn supporters, judging by the energy in the room. The premier thanks the audience several times before she begins, assuring the audience that recent media criticism over her refusal to parlay with the opposition and skip the all candidates' debates has not put her out of touch with her constituents.
"Part of my commitment is to make sure that government is open to citizens, because I know we cannot do what citizens want us to do -- cannot reflect your priorities -- unless we talk to you, unless we listen to you," says Clark.
"This is your meeting tonight."
Clark reminds her audience that although she promotes change, she does not promote the change that David Eby and the NDP advocate.
"I don't think anyone really wants us to throw the baby out with the bathwater," says Clark. "I don't think people in this community want us to radically change the direction Premier Campbell showed on climate change, for example."
Between reiterating her campaign vows on cap and trade and carbon taxes, holding off until the "research is in" on the Enbridge pipeline, and addressing seismic upgrades to schools, Clark raises an issue that has become a focal point for both her and Eby.
"Another stark difference that exists between the NDP and myself is that I don't think we should be legalizing hard drugs," says Clark, alluding to Eby's approach to dealing with addiction. "I think we should be getting people off drugs."
Clark then turns to an issue one might think wouldn't have much resonance in this urban riding with its high percentage of affluent families. She hits hard at polygamy.
"As a woman who has experienced how hard it is sometimes for women to get ahead, I have to say I disagree with polygamy. I think polygamy is a way for women, children, young girls to be exploited."
About half way into the 70-minute discussion and before getting into a Vancouver Police Department cruiser to go and see "first-hand" the difficulties in the Downtown Eastside, the premier also manages to joke about Eby's anti-censorship stance on what riders on BC Ferries can view on the Internet.
Two things become clear by the end of the night.
One, that tonight's event will be the closest thing Point Grey residents get to see of Clark's well-oiled campaign machine wrestle with local issues before the byelection. And two, the Liberals have a close eye on Eby, who has become a real contender with only a few days left before it's time to vote.
"I wonder if some other issues might come up that David Eby has certain feelings on that we find to be somewhat extreme," says Clark's campaign manager Michele Cadaris. "I think when you are talking about a race that is undoubtedly going to be close, you should also look at what the other candidates stand for."
'Stephen Harper-style' tactics
Eby prefers to read as a positive development Clark's jabs at him at her town hall meeting. It's something new for his opponent, he says.
"Last night, for the first time, Christy Clark actually said my name and attacked me personally. That says to me that their polling is suggesting that we're doing really, really well."
Eby accuses Clark of running a "Stephen Harper-style" campaign, picking out policy arguments he made as a human rights lawyer for Pivot Legal Society and then as executive director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association and twisting them for maximum advantage.
He publicly opposed anti-polygamy laws in a 2010 24 Hours article.
"We don't have to endorse Bountiful to believe enforcing a Victorian morality code through the threat of arrest and jail is wrong. Most importantly, we don't need the criminal polygamy law to fix the problems alleged at Bountiful," wrote Eby, in reference to the polygamist Mormon fundamentalist group in B.C.
But Eby says Clark and other BC Liberals took his arguments out of context, "spinning" the facts to depict him as "in favour of Bountiful."
"So you can't have a serious discussion about the fact that the law is not working without getting a black and white leaflet dropped off at family stores that say I'm in favour of 16 year-old girls marrying 50 year-old men," he says. "That is very Stephen Harper."
On drug policy, Eby says he makes no apologies for his position. "I think we need to treat drug addiction as a health issue and not a criminal issue."
But Clark's party is clearly pressing the point. Eby "has taken radical and extreme positions that run directly counter to protecting and strengthening British Columbia families," wrote Chilliwack Liberal MLA John Les in the letter addressed to NDP party leader Adrian Dix made available to the media. Les referenced Eby's positions on polygamy, legalization of illicit drugs and the BC Ferries decision to prevent its passengers viewing explicit material while using the ferries' wireless Internet.
"That's classic," quips Eby. "So BC Ferries has screening software that blocks information about sexual health and also reproductive choice. I say in the media, 'This screening software is too stringent, why is information about sexual health and abortion blocked like it's hardcore pornography? It's a message of censorship,' and then they say, 'David Eby is in favour of people viewing porn on the ferries.'"
Les also questioned whether Eby's positions are indicative of the party's.
"NDP policy is consistent with my own policy on so many issues," says Eby.
"I don't think [the provincial NDP party] has a policy except to support Insite and examine all the different forms of dealing with drug addiction. So as far as that goes, we are definitely on the same page."

What Clark is trying to do, Eby says, is divert attention to the policies of Pivot Legal Society and B.C. Civil Liberties Association, and away from the issues facing Point Grey constituents.
Likewise, drug policy and polygamy laws are federal concerns, he says. "She doesn't even want to talk about what the community issues are. She wants to talk about something that we can't even do anything about."
Eby is starting to get, in his words, "a little fired up," as the conversation turns to where he and Clark differ on climate change.
"She said that I was 'all over the map on climate change,' which was funny. What she's talking about is these IPPs [Independent Power Producers] and run of the river projects, which I'm incredibly opposed to, which have driven up our hydro rates, and handed huge profits to the BC Liberal pals who are running these projects at the expense of BC Hydro customers."
Eby says guaranteeing that BC Hydro must pay top dollar for electricity from private producers is "a model that's costing more people more money for no reason except for ideology around privatization" and that "to say I'm opposed to green energy projects, is laughable."
Now Eby is even more fired up. "She's got oil and gas executives running her transition team, she wants to run a pipeline from the tar sands to send tar sands oil through where there has been a moratorium on tankers for 30 years and she says that I'm all over the map on climate issues."
In the last election the NDP proposed moratoriums on private power generation on rivers and tankers along the coast. But the same party ran against the Campbell government's centerpiece initiative billed as a counter to global warming: the carbon tax. Then NDP leader Carole James led her party its vow to "axe the tax."
This election, the NDP's choice to vanquish Gordon Campbell's replacement says, "If the NDP had the same position on the carbon tax that we ran in the last election, I don't think I would have run for the party because I think we need to progressive and aggressive on climate change. And we need to be a green party. And we need to be leaders in the environment and sustainability."
Adds Eby, "I wouldn't be able to explain it to people on the doorstep -- something like that that I just didn't believe in."
Eby walks up to his campaign headquarters, dutifully but casually addressing nearly everyone he passes.
The dimly lit office -- a decommissioned Japanese restaurant on Broadway -- is adorned with Eby banners and flags.
Patti Bacchus, Vancouver School Board chair, and Shane Simpson, NDP MLA for Vancouver-Hastings, arrive shortly after Eby. In a show of support, they plan to go door-knocking with Eby for the afternoon.
"I see it from the parent angle and the school angle," says Bacchus, collecting a map of the riding and some recent polling data.
"And having had some conversations with David about that, he really gets it and sees that foundational piece that schools are in creating a really just and healthy society."
For Bacchus the choice to support Eby was a "no-brainer."
"You know the whole reason I got involved in school board politics was to fight back against what Christy Clark did to public education," she says.
Justice Susan Griffin found in April that Clark, education minister at the time, failed to properly consult with the BC Teachers' Federation regarding legislation that eliminated teachers rights to bargain the size of their classes.
Bacchus, Simpson and Eby make their way down Broadway, headed eastward to the heart of the riding. Turning south on Collingwood Street, Eby references polling data that ranks voters on a scale from one to four, with ones leaning NDP. "These are both ones," he says, noting two homes he has already visited, and then going on to recount in detail the residents' responses.
There's a reason he knows Kitsilano's doorsteps so well, and is getting to know them even better. "The strategy is you look for where we did really well but where there was a low turn out, to try and bump that number up to get more votes out. You won't see Christy Clark in Kits, and I'm not going to be knocking on the doors of Point Grey Road until I'm elected as their MLA." In other words, he's mining even more votes where he already sense there are many.
Livin' on a prayer
A bright sun appears through an otherwise cloud-filled sky. The first signs of a pleasant day and an ensuing Canucks puck-drop mean most residents aren't home.
At the corner of 11th Avenue and Collingwood Street, Eby scribbles "Sorry I missed you. Hope you'll consider voting NDP on May 11" on the back of an over-sized business card. He tucks it in the doorjamb and moves on to the next house.
Simpson and Bacchus are not far ahead.
"I kept hearing from all of my friends and neighbours, because I live up in Point Grey, how frustrated they were to have a premier who just wanted to use the riding to come in and get a seat and not really having the ties or interest," says Bacchus.
Simpson agrees. "The reality is over 15 years of Gordon Campbell you essentially had an absentee MLA because he was off being the premier. And now they're being asked by Ms. Clark to take another absentee MLA, and I'm not so sure that's what the people of Point Grey want."
When Christy Clark was an afternoon radio host on CKNW, her chipper voice daily found its way into people's cars and kitchens.
David Eby lately has been showing up on people's computer screens in a video of him singing Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" to the NDP Leadership Assembly on April 17.
Clark has repeatedly turned down offers to debate on the radio station that once employed her.
Then again, you won't hear Eby singing Bon Jovi during this campaign, either. "No," he says, "I swore to everyone that I wouldn't sing karaoke again until I win."

Steven Power readies corn for steaming while Eastern Michigan Collector Bud Robinson looks on. The old-fashioned steamer was among much antique equipment on display at Heritage Harvest Days at Seven Ponds. photo by Catherine Brakefield.
DRYDEN — Even though the crops were in, that didn't mean the work was over, as witnessed by how hard exhibitors had to work just to cook an ear of corn.
Steven Power holds up an ear that was freshly steamed the old fashioned way during Heritage Harvest Days.
The old black smokestack spiraled smoke into the aqua blue sky over Seven Ponds Nature center during the weekend like clockwork, steaming five dozen ears of corn in just seven minutes. Still, this 1906 steam engine's earlier history is unknown to Eastern Michigan Collector Bud Robinson who refurbished it in 1985.
"I bought it from a guy who used it to heat water to wash his logs off in the winter before sawing," Robinson says. "Now we use it to cook corn."
Adults and children took a giant leap back into history, before the time of electricity, the automobile and television.
Jill Moore demonstrated one of the first vacuum cleaners and put her knuckles to the washboard on this hands-on display of how housewives used to wash and iron clothes back in the 1800s.
Children learned, too, where the fabric for those clothes originated from.

"They (clients) like to see me come and like to see me go," Caryl grins.
Demonstrating her skill with the shears, her four-month-old lamb is about to get her first haircut.
"Though she moves around a little, our lambs are a lot better than your kid is with their first hair cut," Caryl says.
Where the wool goes from there was explained in the next booth, where spinners worked fervently.
"I just sit here and spin my wheels," Kay Thorne says with a laugh.
"We're friends of the fleece on the hoof," says spinner Mary Duncan, "and I've done this for over 28 years."
Then it was off to the candle-making room with staff member Layne Hillman, who wanted to make sure no one was in the dark on the long, cold winter nights.
Twelve-year-old Cali Agudelo grasped her thin string and looked into the hot wax skeptically, but the end result was the same as the other boys and girls hovering over their boiling wax and water—a beautiful candle.
The day wasn't complete until you visited every arts and craft tent, rode on a horse-drawn wagon and had your face painted.
'Wowie' the clown was on hand to fulfill every child's fantasy.
Twelve-year-old Jacob Williams from Burton goes to Genesee Christian School and chose today to try on his Halloween face. Nine-year-old Hunter Wilson goes to Mayville School and is ready for Cinderella's Ball.
Heritage Harvest Days is a major fund-raising event at Dryden's Seven Ponds Nature Center and they are always seeking more demonstrations, volunteers and sponsors. Heritage Harvest Days at Seven Ponds Nature Center once again reminded visitors that in the not so distant past, just because the crops were in it didn't mean the work was over.

This year's Archibald Prize winner is a painting with great affection for its subject. Louise Hearman's Barry was a surprise choice – but it deserves to find an ultimate home in the National Portrait Gallery.


We had a fabulous day of highly competitive paddle with multiple three set matches. Players from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island travelled to compete with the winners hailing from the Fairfield county area, Katie Adams and Jade Curtis. Adams/Curtis defeated Mary Palumbo and Lindsay Herchel in a fantastic display of skill and athleticism. Many thanks to Rob Coster, President of Court Pro and former APTA President, for donating swag and for helping in the hut to make certain the matches stayed on track. We were able to complete the tournament and get the players on the road home before the first snowflake fell!

Pre-service teachers' mathematics content knowledge: implications for how mathematics is taught in higher education
Tom Lowrie, Robyn Jorgensen
This investigation explored pre-service teachers'mathematics content knowledge (MCK) and beliefs associated with mathematics education practices. An Exploratory Factor Analysis, conducted on a beliefs and attitudes questionnaire, produced three common attitude factors associatedwith (1) inquiry-based teaching; (2) howmathematics knowledge is acquired; and (3) the applicability of mathematics. These factors were used in subsequent multivariate analyses to determine whether teachers' mathematics competence influenced their personal mathematics viewpoints and perspectives. There was no difference between those students who had studied advanced and standard mathematics at school on the three belief and attitude measures, despite distinct differences in theirMCK. © The Author 2015.

Q: Why can't Ruby load a file? I would like to require a file called "factories.rb":
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'factories.rb' )

and am getting this error:
/home/sean/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems
/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- /home/sean/rand/test/factories.rb (LoadError)

I have ruby-1.9.3-p194 installed. Why does it also say 1.9.1 in the error message?

A: Usually, Factory Girl automatically loads the factories.rb file ( and yours is in the right place ).
I often have problems with that require syntax ( it's mostly likely just me ), might try this:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/factories' # it's okay to leave off the .rb

Also, the folder is 1.9.1 just 'cause the ruby core team decided to keep the name 1.9.1 throughout the 1.9 release schedule. I'll try and find a link.
EDIT: Here's a link to a previous discussion on SO about the folder being 1.9.1:
1st answer is good.

Q: Adding the info from one text field into another without erasing the info that already exists I have an access database with two Long Text fields "QAComment" and "NoteComment." We have found that the NoteComment field is rarely used and we want to stop using it, placing the information that might go there within the QAComment Field instead. Every record currently has text in the QAComment field already. What I am trying to do is run an update query that moves the information from NoteComment and appends it onto the Information from QAComment - I cant lose whats already in there. I tried googling for a way to do this but it keeps sending me to basic update queries where the info would get replaced, not added onto. I thought it might be possible to concatenate the two fields together into a third field and then copy that info back to the QAComment field, using
Conc: [QAComment] & " " & "Note comments:" & " " & [Notecomment]

Which works, but I can't figure out how then to use that expression to record that information into the table. I thought I might be able to use the value of the concatenate in the Update, but I cant seem to figure out how to reference it. I also tried just putting the Conc statement in the Update To: but nothing seemed to happen. I'd appreciate anyone who can think of a way to do this.

A: Sounds like you're building the query in Design View.  Switch to SQL View and paste in this text, substituting your table name in place of YourTable
UPDATE YourTable AS y
SET y.QAComment = y.QAComment & " Note comments: " & y.Notecomment
WHERE Len(Trim(y.Notecomment)) > 0;

You can switch back to Design View, if desired, to see how the query is presented there.

Labour rejects Fayemi's proposed minimum wage adjustment
The organised labour in Ekiti State have threatened to reject Governor Kayode Fayemi's proposal on the N30,000 minimum wage for workers if it does not agree with the template set by the national leadership of the labour centres.
The labour leaders insisted that whatever the Fayemi administration would implement must be in consonance with the national template increment of 66.6 per cent for Grade Levels 01 to 06, 29 per cent for 07 to 14 and 24 percent for 15 to 17.
The position of the organised labour was contained in a statement jointly signed by the secretaries of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Mohammed Bashman; Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Akinyemi Taiwo, and Public Service Joint Negotiating Council (PSJNC), Gbenga Olowoyo, respectively.
The labour leaders applauded Fayemi for his readiness to implement the proposal, but deplored the unilateral decision taken on the matter, contending that labour could have been carried along as earlier agreed on September 30 at a meeting with the Head of Service, Mr. Ayodeji Ajayi.
Fayemi, had last Friday pronounced the readiness of his administration to effect the new minimum wage, commencing from October, during the 2019 edition of the Teachers' Day Celebration.
But the labour leaders stated: "In line with the national directive of the leaderships of the organised labour, anything short of the above percentage, the organised labour won't do anything contrary to the Wednesday October 16, 2019 set for the national strike in Nigeria over the insincerity of government to pay the new minimum wage to workers on GL 01 to 17.
"The organised labour is constrained to refer to a meeting of September 30 at the office of the Head of Service; the resolution then was that the state government must ensure due process with the setting up of negotiating team and in fulfilment of outstanding salaries and other emoluments before commencing N30,000 minimum wage, although the pronouncement made on October 5 had Contravened this resolution."
The labour leaders also expressed hope that Governor Fayemi would fulfil his promise to defray the N57billion outstanding workers' salaries, allowances and pension before clocking one year in office on October 16.
They said: "The liquidation of these outstanding payments is sacrosanct. They include three months payment to public servants, September 2017 and May 2018 deductions, six months arrears of salaries to local government workers, financial backing for 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 workers' promotions and leave bonuses for 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 to civil servants.
"For the avoidance of doubt, the non-payment of these aforementioned outstanding before the promised date may threaten the industrial peace in our dear state."

Panel discussion will focus on alternative fuels and danger of U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
Representatives John Shimkus, R-Ill., and Elliot Engel, D-N.Y., introduced legislation called the Open Fuel Standard in May. The OFS would put a permanent competitive constraint on oil prices by opening the fuel market to alternative fuels. H.R. 1687, the Open Fuel Standard Act of 2011, would require that 50% of new automobiles in 2014, 80% in 2016, and 95% in 2017 would be warranted to operate on non-petroleum fuels in addition to, or instead of, petroleum based fuels.
Tuesday the Open Fuel Standard Coalition is presenting an Energy Security Roundtable hosted by Shimkus and Engel. Alternative fuels experts including Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Bob Dinneen, former National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane and NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace, will discuss alternative fuels and the danger of U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
"Americans need a choice at the pump and the Open Fuel Standard would allow them to pick an ethanol blend that meets their needs," said Dinneen. "The OFS would also create market space for other alternative fuels that are critical to our nation's energy future."
The legislation has the support of many ethanol organizations including the American Coalition for Ethanol. ACE Executive Vice President Brian Jennings says the bill offers a wide range of fuel choices.
"ACE strongly supports the Open Fuels Standard because it provides consumers with meaningful fuel choices, including American-made ethanol," Jennings said. "With gas prices hovering at $4 a gallon, and with oil companies unapologetic about massive profits, and refusing to even consider changes to their favored tax status, it is time for us to create real competition in the fuel marketplace, and this legislation does just that."
To follow the event set to begin at 1 p.m. Central time go to the coalition's Twitter @OFS_Coalition or search for Open Fuel Standard Coalition on Facebook.

Work and Pensions Committee
Protecting pension savers – five years on from the pension freedoms: Pension scams
Work and Pensions Committee to examine impact of pension freedoms and protecting pension savers
Pension scams focus of first part of Committee inquiry reviewing impact of introduction of pension freedoms five years on
Future work will examine accessing pension savings and saving for later life
The Work and Pensions Committee is to investigate pension scams in the first strand of a three-part inquiry into the impact of the pension freedoms and the protection of pension savers.
Inquiry: Protecting pension savers – five years on from the pension freedoms: Pension scams
The pensions freedoms were introduced in 2015 with the aim of giving people aged over 55 more control over how and when they could access their savings. The broad inquiry will look at how such people are protected as they move from saving for retirement to using their pension savings.
After an initial focus on pension scams, the inquiry will move onto looking at accessing pension savings and saving for later life, with a call for evidence likely next year.
Pension scams – background
Pension savings are often people's single largest financial asset. The high value and fact that people often do not have to engage with their savings until much later in life makes them an attractive target for fraudsters.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and The Pensions Regulator say that 180 people reported to Action Fraud that they had been the victim of a pension scam in 2018, losing on average £82,000 each. They also believe that only a minority of pension scams are ever reported.
Last month, the Committee's report, DWP's response to the coronavirus outbreak, committed to undertake detailed work on pension scams.
Chair's comments
Rt Hon Stephen Timms MP, Chair of the Work and Pensions Committee, said:
"The Government's shake-up of the pensions system of five years ago will have brought new freedoms for people to plan financially for their futures. But on the flip side, more flexibility means more potential for the unscrupulous to take advantage and scam savers out of what will very often be their largest financial asset, crippling their dreams of a comfortable retirement. Extra financial hardship brought about by the coronavirus pandemic also provides an added opportunity for tricksters to prey on those people who may be looking to use their pension savings as a form of support.
We know reported frauds could be just the tip of the iceberg, so the Committee is keen to better understand the scale of the pension scam problem, as well as the types of scams in operation and the role of the pensions industry and public bodies in using current powers against fraudsters. We also want to know what more can be done to prevent such scams, to halt the huge and devastating impact they have on those looking for security in later life."
The Committee would like to hear your views on the following questions. You do not have to answer all of the questions. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday 9th September.
What is the prevalence of pension scams?
What are the current trends in pension scams?
What are the common outcomes of pension scams for perpetrators and victims?
How are existing enforcement tools being used?
What more can be done to prevent pension scammers operating?
What more can be done to prevent individuals becoming victims of pension scams?
What role should the pensions industry have in preventing scams?
Is HMRC's position on the tax treatment of pension scam victims correct?
Are public bodies co-ordinating the response to pension scams?
If you have any concerns about an offer you've received, or about a conversation you've had about transferring or accessing your pension, you can check with The Pensions Advisory Service.
They can also give you advice if you've been a victim of a scam.
You can speak to a pension specialist at The Pensions Advisory Service on their helpline on 0800 011 3797 (Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm) or use their webchat service or online enquiry form through their website at www.pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk
If you've been a victim of a scam and need support:
You can contact Victim Support or Think Jessica if a scam has made you feel anxious, fearful or guilty. They provide emotional and practical help to victims of crimes and scams.
You can contact the 24-hour Samaritans helpline on 116 123 if you feel low or anxious and need someone to talk to.
You can contact Citizens Advice if you're having trouble paying your bills and are worried about what to do.

The Historical Register of the United States, Volumen1
editado por Thomas H. Palmer
A day or two after this conversation took place, Mr. Russell received a note from the British minister, in which he stated, that the prince regent did not feel himself enabled to depárt from his former decision.
87. In the beginning of August the repeal of the orders in council was communicated to the American government by the British authorities in Canada and Nova Scotia, and an armistice by land was proposed by them, to be accompanied by a suspension of the condemnation of prizes, to await the decision of both governments. To this proposal the president declined to accede. The following are stated as the principal reasons which produced this decision.
"1st. The president has no power to suspend judicial proceedings on prizes. A capture, if lawful, vests a right, over which he has no controul. Nor could he
otherwise than by an indiscriminate recal of the commissions granted to our privateers, which he could not justify under existing circumstances.
"2d. The proposition is not made by the British government, nor is there any certainty that it would be approved by it. The proposed arrangement, if acceded to, might not be observed by the British officers themselves, if their government, in consequence of the war, should give them instructions of a different character, even if they were given without a knowledge of the arrangement.
"3d. No security is given, or proposed, as to the Indians, nor could any be relied on. They have engaged in the war on the side of the British government, and are now prosecuting it with vigour, in their usual savage mode. They can only be restrained by force, when once let loose, and that force has already been ordered out for the purpose.
" 4th. The proposition is not reciprocal, because it restrains the United States from acting where their power
is greatest, and leaves Great Britain at liberty, and gives her time to augment her forces in our neighbourhood.
" 5th. That as a principal object of the war is to obtain redress against the British practice of impressment, an agreement to suspend hostilities, even before the British government is heard from on that subject, might be considered a relinquishment of that claim.
"6th. It is the more objectionable, and of the less importance, in consideration of the instructions heretofore given Mr. Russell, which, if met by the British government, may have already produced the same result in a greater extent and more satisfac
tory form."
5 8. Early in October the expected communication was receive.. by government from the British admiral on the American station, admiral Warren. In this he stated that he was commanded to propose
the immediate cessation of hostilities on the ground of the repeal of the orders in council, and to arrange with government as to the revocation of the laws interdicting the ships of war and the commerce of Great Britain from the harbours and waters of the United States, intimating, that if that proposition was not acceded to, the orders in council, being only conditionally repealed, would be revived against the commerce of the United States.
In the answer of the American government it was stated, that experience had evinced that no peace could be durable without an adjustment of the subject of impressment. That an armistice could not be agreed to without a clear and distinct understanding upon this subject. But that if there was no objection to an accommodation of the difference relating to impressment other than the suspension of the British claim during the armistice, there could be none to proceeding without the armistice to an immediate discussion and arrangement of an article on that subject; and that this great question being satisfactorily adjusted, the way would be open for an armistice, or any other course leading to a general pacification. Thus ended the correspondence on this subject.
99. The message next takes a cursory view of the relations of the United States with other foreign nations. The state of the military and naval establishments is strongly pressed on the earliest attention of Congress, together with a revision of the militia laws. The subject of British licenses and improper intercourse with the enemy is likewise recommended to their attention.
10. A number of American vessels, which were in England when the revocation of the orders in council took place, were laden with British manufactures, under the impression that the non-importation act would immediately cease to operate. These vessels were seized by the collectors on their arrival in the United States, and some of them were even captured at sea, and sent in as prizes by the American privateers. This subject was recommended by the president to the consideration and decision of congress, it not appearing to him proper to exercise, " on unforeseen cases of such magnitude, the ordinary powers vested in the treasury department to mitigate forfeitures, without previously affording to congress an opportunity of making on the subject such provision as they may think pro
to carry
9 11. The receipts into the treasury, during the year ending September 30, are stated to have exceeded sixteen and a half millions of dollars, including near 85,850,000 received on account of the loan of eleven millions. These receipts were sufficient to discharge all the demands on the treasury to that date, including a necessary reimbursement of near three millions of the principal of the public debt. The residue of the loan, together with the current revenue, are stated to be sufficient to defray the expenses of the remainder of the year, and the duties on the late unexpected importations of British manufactures to render the revenue of the ensuing year more productive than could have been anticipated,
§ 12. The president concludes his message as follows: "The situation of our country, fellow citizens, is not without its difficulties; though it abounds in animating considerations, of which the view here presented of our pecuniary resources is an example." With more than one nation, we have serious and unsettled controversies ; and with one, powerful in the means and habits of war, we are at war. The spirit and strength of the nation are nevertheless equal to the support of all its rights, and
it through all its trials. They can be met in that confidence. Above all, we have the inestimable consolation of knowing, that the war in which we are actually engaged is a war neither of ambition nor of vain glory ; that it is waged, not in violation of the rights of others, but in the maintenance of our own; that it was preceded by a patience without example, under wrongs accumulating without end ; and that it was finally not declared until every hope of averting it was extinguished, by the transfer of the British sceptre into new hands clinging to former councils; and until declarations were reiterated to the last hour, through the British envoy here, that the hostile edicts against our commercial rights and our maritime independence would not be revoked ; nay, that they could not be revoked, without violating the obligations of Great Britain to other powers, as well as to her own interests. To have shrunk, under such circumstances, from manly resistance, would have been a degradation blasting our best and proudest hopes : it would have struck us from the high rank, where the virtuous struggles of our fathers had placed us, and have betrayed the magnificent legacy which we hold in trust for future generations. It would have acknowledged, that on the element which forms three-fourths of the globe we inhabit, and where all independent nations have equal and common rights, the American people were not an independent people, but colonists and vassals. It was at this moment, and with such an alternaVOL. I. PART I.
tive, that war was chosen. The nation felt the necessity of it, and called for it. The appeal was accordingly made, in a just cause, to the just and all-powerful Being who holds in his hand the chain of events and the destiny of nations. It remains only, that, faithful to ourselves, entangled in no connections with the views of other powers, and ever ready to accept peace from the hand of justice, we prosecute the war with united counsels, and with the ample faculties of the nation, until peace be so obtained, and as the only means, under the divine blessing, of speedily obtaining it."

1. THE first business of importance which occupied congress after the appointment of the usual standing and select committees, was a motion submitted by Mr. Harper, in the house of representatives, on the 6th of November, with closed doors, as follows:
Resolved, that the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of prohibiting by law the exportation of flour and other bread stuffs from the United States and the territories thereof, and that they report by bill or otherwise.
This motion was the same day negatived by a large majority. On the first of December Mr. Newton offered a resolution to the house, going to instruct the committee of commerce and manufactures to enquire into the propriety of restricting the export of provision and naval stores, so as to prevent those articles from being carried to the ports of the enemy. This resolution shared the fate of the former, being negatived by a majority of one vote. On the following day Mr. Harper moved a reconsideration of the resolution, on the ground of the thinness of the house the day before. The yeas and nays were called for, when, it being found that the votes were equally divided, the casting vote
was given by the speaker in the negative, and the house consequently refused to consider the resolution.
9 2. The next important topic that occupied the attention of congress was that of the merchants' bonds. From the singularity of the situation in which the merchants were placed, and the great amount at stake, upwards of eighteen millions of dollars, this subject excited an unusual degree of interest, not only
congress, but throughout the union. In order to present a clear view of the subject, it will be necessary to take a review of the acts of the United States as they respect Great Britain and France for the last three years. In doing this, we shall be as concise as perspicuity will allow.
On the first of May, 1810, a law was passed forbidding British and French armed vessels from entering the waters of the United States, on account of their numerous violations of our neutral commerce.

Paul Yaffe: 25 Years of Bike Building
Celebrating a milestone during Arizona Bike Week
Staff posted Apr 19th, 2016 at 5:01pm
Paul Yaffe Bagger Nation Was the Official Start of the Hamster "Dry Heat" Run
Ken Conte
Paul Yaffe's Bagger Nation, the motorcycle shop owned and operated by venerated bike builder Paul Yaffe, used the opportunity of the 2016 Arizona Bike Week motorcycle rally to celebrate 25 years of designing and building the best and most sought after custom motorcycles, parts and accessories in the world.
Paul opened his first custom shop, American Legend Motorcycle Company, in 1991. Today, 25 years later, while not operating out of the same location, Paul Yaffe's Bagger Nation (together with Paul Yaffe Originals) is recognized as one of the preeminent custom motorcycle and parts manufacturers in the world.
"It all started with a love of motorcycles and a curiosity and desire to see what could be made of them," says Paul. "I never would have guessed, when I first started experimenting in the mid eighties, that it would lead to where we are today."
Paul Yaffe has enjoyed one of the most storied and influential careers in motorcycle designing and building. In the past 25 years, he has won many awards, contests and honors, including three "World's Most Beautiful Motorcycle" awards at the famous Oakland Roadster Show and two "Builder of the Year" and three "Trendsetter of the Year" honors from Easyriders Magazine. The subject of over 300 magazine articles and profiles, Paul has also featured in the Discovery Channel's popular show Biker Build-Off and the 10-episode docudrama Biker Battleground on the History Channel as well as dozens of other nationally televised shows on networks such as NBC, Travel Channel and Speed TV.
Bagger Nation was also the starting point and sponsor of the 6th Annual Hamsters Charity "Dry Heat" Run, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars when combined for Lifescape Children's Care Hospital. Riders joined fellow Hamsters Arlen Ness, Donnie Smith, Paul Yaffe, Nick Trask, among others, as they welcomed special guest for this year's charity run: NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace, making his first Dry Heat run on his brand new Bagger Nation custom Street Glide. After a scenic and exhilarating ride through the foothills, participants enjoyed lunch, prize giveaways and frosty beverages as they spend the afternoon "Hamster Style" before wrapping up at Arizona Bike Week at Westworld for the Reverend Horton Heat and Social Distortion live shows.

Does Stanford look at 9th grade?
Currently Stanford only offers American Sign Language (ASL), which is not considered a foreign language.
Colleges just like to see proficiency in a foreign language, and ASL is accepted by many colleges as a foreign language (be sure to check). If you become highly-skilled/fluent, it may actually be a "hook," as ASL is much less common than French or Spanish, but incredibly useful!
Stanford undergraduates are required to complete one year of college-level study or the equivalent in a foreign language.
UCLA already indirectly recognizes it as a language. … There is some debate on whether ASL is a language of its own or whether it is just a form of English. But according to Timothy Stowell, dean of the humanities division and a linguist by profession, "If you know anything about language, (ASL) is a language."
IT IS SURPRISING: Your question: What is a green card UK insurance?
Many secondary school students take a smattering of several languages—for example, Latin for two years, French for a year, and Spanish for a year.
Sample Foreign Language Requirements for College Admissions.
Stanford 3 or more years
UCLA 2 years required; 3 recommended
By the last turn of the century, almost 30 states had passed relevant legislation, and numerous universities and community colleges, including Georgetown, Brown, MIT (The Massachusetts Institute of Technology), the University of Washington, and Purdue, are accepting American Sign Language as a distinct foreign language …

To have the best shot of getting in, you should aim for the 75th percentile, with a 1550 SAT or a 35 ACT. You should also have a 3.96 GPA or higher. If your GPA is lower than this, you need to compensate with a higher SAT/ACT score.
Stanford awards credit only for certain higher level (HL) IB exams with a score of 5 or higher. Check the IB Credit Chart to see whether you can get credit for your IB exam. … To request IB credit, contact the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) to request that your IB scores be sent to Stanford.
IT IS SURPRISING: Does Australia tax foreign income?
ACT or SAT test scores are not required for full consideration at Stanford for first year and transfer students applying in 2021–22 and 2022–23.
American Sign Language (ASL) is recognized as a foreign language by Texas A&M University.
Students may satisfy the foreign language requirement in any of the following ways: Receiving a grade of C- or higher in high school courses comparable to the third year level of any language other than the language of high school instruction.
UCLA GPA Requirements
At a minimum, you must earn a 3.0 GPA or better (3.4 for nonresidents) in all college preparatory courses. No grades can be lower than a C.
The four-year state institutions that accept American Sign Language (ASL) as a foreign language include: Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University, Evergreen State College, Pacific Lutheran University, Seattle Pacific University, University of Puget Sound, Seattle University, University of Washington …
Most selective colleges and universities want to see at least two years of high school foreign language study. Highly selective schools such as the Ivies often want to see three or four years of a language.
To check for academic readiness, Stanford looks at your 9th grade classes, which is why they ask you to "Ask your counselor or school official to submit your official transcript (grades 9–12 required)." See Required School Forms . Stanford does not have a GPA cutoff that would require comparing your cumulative GPA.

Stage Right: A Primary Challenger to Congressman Dan Newhouse
By Joel Connelly
With a boost from the Benton County Republican Party, veteran, ultra-conservative State Rep. Brad Klippert, R-Kennewick, is off and running with a primary challenge to 4th District Rep., and fellow Republican, Dan Newhouse. Klippert announced after Newhouse was one of 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach President Trump. The Eastern Washington Republican was back on the GOP reservation Thursday, voting against Democrats' resolution to strip QAnon-aligned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, of her committee assignments.
Declaring his candidacy, Klippert has come out strongly for the 2nd Amendment, has pledged to "defend" hydroelectric dams, favors a robust stock market and, coming from the Tri-Cities, declares: "I believe in safe, affordable, clean base load nuclear energy." Klippert is a Benton County Sheriff's Deputy, best known for a proposal to elect the Governor of Washington using an electoral college system modeled on the national system and designed to give conservative Eastern Washington counties a much bigger voice.
Democrats have won 10 consecutive gubernatorial elections, thanks to big majorities in King County. Jay Inslee won in November by a margin of more than 500,000 votes. But GOP gubernatorial nominee Loren Culp carried 26 of the state's 39 counties. Under Klippert's plan, each county would get one electoral vote, ranging from King County with 1.43 million registered voters to Garfield County with 1,687. The state's redistricting commission would allocate another 108 electoral votes based on county populations.
"If I didn't think it was fair and equitable for all voters of Washington, I wouldn't have run the bill," Klippert said on introducing his plan. As Jerry Cornfield noted in the Herald of Everett, "Had an electoral college-style system been in place in 2012, (Gov.) Inslee might not have beaten Republican Rob McKenna."
Rep. Newhouse has Trump cultists mad at him, but he hails from the Yakima Valley, largest population center in the Central Washington district. He is well known, and his father served three decades in the Legislature. He beat a far-right Tea Party Republican, Clint Didier, in 2014 to win his seat in Congress, and dispatched Didier again two years later. Aside from the courageous impeachment vote, prompted by the Jan. 6, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Newhouse has been a very conventional Republican congressmember.

Q: How can I read and write the external file field in solr? I am using External File field in solr for my frequently updated types of data. I had created a file _external_<myfieldTypename> in my Index directory. And my data is like :
4950 = 150.0
4951 = 65.0
4952 = 789.0
4953 = 786.0
4954 = 5.0
4955 = 21.0

Now I had created new field as:
<fieldType name="<myfieldTypename>" class="solr.ExternalFileField" keyField="Name" defVal="1" indexed="false" stored="false" valType="float"/>
<field name="MyFieldName" type="<myfieldTypename>" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
My question is that how can I read data from my external file?
Thanks in advance.

A: Documentation :-

Solr looks for the external file in the index directory under the name
  of external_<fieldname> or external_<fieldname>.*

So in your case the external field file name should be MyFieldName.txt or external_MyFieldName.txt with the data.

External fields are not searchable. They can be used only for function
  queries or display.

A: how can I read data from my external file?
Asked the same question to solr-user group. (See here.) Yonik Seely's answer in that thread works fine for me in Solr 4.2.1. The syntax to use is:
fl=*,field(external_file_field)
You can also alias it, like Yonik says:
fl=*,views:field(external_file_field)

Point in time rollback and versioning
Component/s: Journal
Implement point in time rollback. This feature will allow the database to be forked at any historical commit point which is still retained. The intervening writes will still be available, so writes may be reapplied (by application specific logic). Rollback may be done for the entire database or for a specific namespace, e.g., corresponding to some triple store instance. The database must be partly offline during rollback (that is, read/write transactions and application submitted unisolated writer operations are not permitted during rollback).
For the standalone database, rollback only needs to record a new entry in the Name2Addr index mapping the name of the each B+Tree onto the last checkpoint of that B+Tree prior to the rollback time.
bryanthompson added a comment - 30/Mar/10 12:15 PM
This should be handled as a more general feature to create named versions of either some set of resources and/or all resources in some namespace together with a mechanism to indicate which is the "default" version and to select a version in an execution context as the default version. Any version may receive new writes. This mechanism can be used for provenance or lineage for an immortal database deployment in addition to effecting point in time rollback as described above.

bryanthompson added a comment - 21/May/10 2:28 PM
New versions will eventually have their own backing resources (index segment files) in scale-out, but initially they will depend on the index segment files for the historical version from which they are forked. Consider how to manage the co-location of that information and the constraints on the release of historical information. For example, if a version of a scale-out index is versioned, then new writes will go into shards named by the version (fooBLZG-208.1). If either the original version or the new version of that shard is then moved, we need to ensure that all necessary state for the shard which remains behind is preserved. This may well fall out automatically from the existing mechanisms since we do a compacting merge before we move a shard and historical resources are released once there are no B+Tree views on the data services within the configured retention age which depend on those resources.

Chef Jared Porter tells me that he traded his apron for a tool belt in recent weeks, but now he's finalizing his menu for The Parlor, the new pizza joint set to open later this month (tentatively April 27) in the old Salon de Venus on Camelback at 20th Street.
For antipasti, there will be arancini; caponata bruschetta with saba and herbed ricotta spread; and fritto misto with crispy calamari and rock shrimp, romesco and grilled lemon. Half a dozen salads include caprese; Caesar; and farm greens with roasted chicken, pears, gorgonzola, and spiced pecans, while the sandwich list includes a burger with a choice of toppings, and a duck club sandwich.
Among the nine different pizzas, look for roasted Yukon gold potato with gorgonzola, pancetta, and leeks; wild mushroom with goat cheese, truffle oil, and chives; Schreiner's "Parlor blend" sausage with grilled radicchio, sage, gorgonzola, and saba; and a puttanesca pizza with calamari, rock shrimp, spicy tomato sauce, capers, olives, and fennel.
Entrees (steak frites, grilled salmon, etc.) will only be available at dinner, as will handmade pastas like pappardelle Bolognese; tagliatelle with speck, radicchio, and pecorina crema; and chitarra with pesto. Desserts include espresso panna cotta, a lemon curd polenta tart, and fruit-flavored gelato milkshakes. There's also a kids' menu, and there will be special late-night offereings available in the bar.
Porter tells me that there will be a full bar, with 16 different beers on tap, and that none of the menu items will top $17.


Yesterday I left home on my little 2-week solo moto trip through the Southwest. These first two days are just getting there, so I wasn't going to write anything, but the ride through the desert was an experience I wanted to share.
Day 1, is just getting out of the Bay Area traffic, Sacramento, and Reno. After that, the lonely hwy starts. My first night I stayed at Cold Springs Station, in a little cabin (one of three) for $40. Can't beat that.
They have a restraruant and bar where I enjoyed a hamburger and fries after my long ride. I met a guy there who was riding his bicycle from Brooklyn, NY! He had been on the road already for 4 months and his ending point was Salt Lake City. After dinner I met my neighbors in the next cabin, nice guys with a dog named Zolo. We sat out and chatted a bit, then turned in. I woke the next morning ready for my longest ride day. I made sure to have a big cup of my own coffee before heading out.
Initially, I passed through a few cute towns, Austin and Eureka. But don't blink, you'll miss them.
I didn't quite realize just how desolate HWY 50 really is through NV. Any type of service, such as food or gas is pretty sparse. The shortest distance I rode was 50 miles to the next gas station. Usually it was 70 to 80 miles before you would see the next one. And what was there wasn't much.
I must've rode for almost an hour, before I even saw another vehicle on the road. It felt kind of amazing, and yet a bit unsettling at times. But still, quite beautiful. The sage was a bright mustard yellow, and the mountains were sharp in the background.
As I continued on, I was surprised at how many passes I went over at around 6 -7,000 feet. It was surprisingly cool and mild. However, as I descended down from the high desert, the heat really started to kick in along with the high winds. I had just gotten gas and had another 80 miles to go before I would see anything.
I think this is where work, home, the busyness of life start to peel away and your mind just starts to let go of all of those things.
My bike was making a popping sound though, and my last few stops, it was running rough. This worried me, and at my last gas stop, I got off the bike and looked at it. I noticed a cap had fallen off one of the intake thingys. I forgot what those are called. But what matters most is, I had a few spare ones. So I put one on and viola', it ran like a charm again.
Needless to say, after 8 hours on the bike today, I finally made it across the state line, and entered a new time zone to boot.
Nice!!! Have a blast Denise. Looking forward to your posts.
Moab………..Heard that was a neat place……….
