Q: SQL Server -- Error = [Microsoft] [SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server] Invalid object name Context: a feature of our core application depends on an output file from a stored procedure in SQL Server. The file is supposed to be output via
the BCP utility.
Question: errors related to an invalid object name seem to be the culprit. The procedure is generating the errors below. I'm very unclear as to how/why the global temp table referenced in the procedure is using an invalid name. I tried replacing the temp tables with standard tables which doesn't fix the problem. Can someone please offer some tips/tricks?
Stored Procedure:
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##jsondump_personnel') IS NOT NULL
     DROP TABLE ##jsondump_personnel
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##jsonparsed_personnel') IS NOT NULL
     DROP TABLE ##jsonparsed_personnel
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##json_loop_personnel') IS NOT NULL
     DROP TABLE ##json_loop_personnel

CREATE TABLE ##jsondump_personnel
(
    [my_json] [NVARCHAR](MAX) NULL
)

CREATE TABLE ##jsonparsed_personnel
(
    [name] [VARCHAR](255) NULL,
    title [VARCHAR](255) NULL,
    [path] [VARCHAR](255) NULL
)

TRUNCATE TABLE ##jsondump_personnel;
TRUNCATE TABLE ##jsonparsed_personnel;

BULK INSERT ##jsondump_personnel
FROM 'C:\mattermark_etl_project\personnel_data.json'
WITH (
    ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
);

SELECT my_json
INTO ##json_loop_personnel
FROM ##jsondump_personnel;

--SELECT * FROM ##jsondump;

INSERT INTO ##jsonparsed_personnel ([name], title, [path])
    SELECT DISTINCT
        jsn.[name], jsn.[title], jsn.[path]
    FROM
        ##json_loop_personnel
    OUTER APPLY
        (SELECT *
         FROM OPENJSON(##json_loop_personnel.my_json)
         WITH (
               [name] VARCHAR(255) '$.name',
               title VARCHAR(255) '$.title',
               [path] VARCHAR(255) '$.path'
              )) AS jsn

DECLARE @bcp_cmd4 VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE @exe_path4 VARCHAR(200) =
    ' cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\ & ';

SET @bcp_cmd4 =  @exe_path4 +
    ' BCP.EXE "SELECT ''Name'', ''Title'', ''Path'' UNION ALL SELECT DISTINCT name, title, path FROM ##jsonparsed_personnel" queryout ' +
    ' "C:\mattermark_etl_project\personnel_data.txt" -T -c -q -r\n';

PRINT @bcp_cmd4;
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @bcp_cmd4

SELECT DISTINCT *
FROM ##jsonparsed_personnel

DROP TABLE ##jsondump_personnel
DROP TABLE ##jsonparsed_personnel
DROP TABLE ##json_loop_personnel

EXEC xp_cmdshell 'C:\mattermark_etl_project\powershell "C:\mattermark_etl_project\open_personnel_file.ps1"'

Errors:

SQLState = S0002, NativeError = 208
  Error = [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Invalid object name '##jsonparsed_personnel'
SQLState = 37000, NativeError = 8180
  Error = [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be prepared.

A: I found the problem can be solved by simplifying block a to block b:
Block a
DECLARE @bcp_cmd4 VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE @exe_path4 VARCHAR(200) =
    ' cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\ & ';

SET @bcp_cmd4 =  @exe_path4 +
    ' BCP.EXE "SELECT ''Name'', ''Title'', ''Path'' UNION ALL SELECT DISTINCT name, title, path FROM ##jsonparsed_personnel" queryout ' +
    ' "C:\mattermark_etl_project\personnel_data.txt" -T -c -q -r\n';

PRINT @bcp_cmd4;
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @bcp_cmd4

Block b
--https://sqlwithmanoj.com/tag/bcp-queryout/
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'BCP "SELECT ''Name'', ''Title'', ''Path'' UNION ALL SELECT DISTINCT name, title, path FROM mattermark_sandbox.dbo.jsonparsed_personnel" QUERYOUT C:\mattermark_etl_project\personnel_data.txt -T -c'

Warning: loads of spoilers for Sport of Thrones beneath!
Sport of Thrones is just one episode into season eight, and quite a bit is already happening, which is to be anticipated since 1.) we needed to wait an eternity for it to reach, and a pair of.) it is the ultimate season. As within the remaining season ever. As in we solely have FIVE MORE HOURS of Sport of Thrones left, individuals! Given that point is working out, there are a ton of necessary questions that followers are hoping showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will reply. For instance: What's the true id of the Night time King? And will he be a Targaryen?
Season six reveals the First Man whom the Kids of the Forest weaponize to turn out to be the primary White Walker, however is he the identical icy menace who's at the moment hellbent on conquering Westeros and killing our faves? Most likely. Nonetheless, that hasn't stopped followers from theorizing about who the Night time King was earlier than he was remodeled. And now that he has Viserion, a concept about him being a Targaryen – particularly Rhaegar – is all of the extra intriguing. Let's break this down clue by clue, lets?
Why Is the Night time King In a position to Trip a Dragon?
Means again when, the Targaryen household mastered the uncommon artwork of dragon-riding by a mixture of sorcery and good old style follow. In Daenerys's case, she appears to have the ability to experience them with out the usage of magic; she's proven to have bonded with the creatures on an intense degree (she's their mom, in any case). However apart from her (and now Jon, who has Targaryen blood in his veins), nobody else has been capable of tame a dragon. Bear in mind what occurred to that conceited lord in Meereen when he tried to method Rhaegal and Viserion within the dungeon? Immediate hen nugget.
In season seven, Viserion is tragically shot out of the sky by the Night time King throughout a battle past the Wall. After sinking to his loss of life in an icy lake, the White Walkers haul out the dragon's physique, and the Night time King makes use of his magic to revive him; subsequent factor we all know, he is driving astride Viserion and destroying the Wall. May he really be the third rider in the Three Heads of the Dragon prophecy?
Is the Night time King A part of the Three Heads of the Dragon Prophecy?
In a nutshell, the prophecy states that solely as soon as three riders for every of Dany's three dragons are established will the Targaryen queen have the ability to declare the Iron Throne. She hears the prophecy in a imaginative and prescient of her late older brother, Rhaegar, whereas within the Home of the Timeless. For some time it was thought that Dany, Jon, and Tyrion could be the three riders, however now Dany, Jon, and the Night time King have all taken rides on Drogon, Rhaegal, and zombie Viserion, respectively.
Is the Fiery Image within the Premiere a Tackle the Targaryen Sigil?
A ugly second on the finish of the season eight premiere might additionally probably be a clue to the Night time King's Targaryen lineage. In one of many final scenes of the episode, Tormund Giantsbane, Beric Dondarrion, Eddison Tollett, and different survivors of the Wall's destruction are proven at Final Fireplace, which is the house of Home Umber. They discover the corpse of little Lord Umber strung up and surrounded by severed human limbs organized in a well-recognized spiral sample and are then pressured to set all of it aflame when the boy comes again from the lifeless as a wight.
The chilling association of limbs makes up a logo that is a well-recognized calling card of Staff Night time King. It is first seen in season one, when White Walkers kill a bunch of wildlings and prepare their our bodies in an identical sample. Jon comes throughout among the Night time's Watch horses minimize up and organized in a spiral in season three and likewise sees the sample carved into the partitions of the caves in Dragonstone, which he reveals to Daenerys earlier than they start mining it for dragonglass.
There are a couple of methods to interpret the image, however we will not recover from how a lot it resembles the Targaryen sigil.
The spiral is eerily just like the Targaryen clan's three-headed dragon sigil, which is completed in a spiral-esque form. Different followers have famous that the blazing image within the premiere has seven "arms," so to talk, which might characterize the Night time King taking on the Seven Kingdoms as a substitute.
So, is the Night time King a Targaryen? Is he Bran? Is he merely some nameless man who obtained the icy finish of the stick a billion years in the past? Fingers crossed the powers that be determine to inform us by the top of season eight . . . or else.

The World Bank Group has ranked Nigeria 152 out of a total of 157 countries surveyed in its Human Capital Index (HCI) that was unveiled on Thursday.
The HCI measures the amount of human capital that a child born today can expect to attain by age 18, given the risks of poor health and education that prevail in the country where he or she lives. The Index measures each country's distance to the frontier of complete education and full health for a child born today.
The President of the multilateral institution, Mr. Jim Yong Kim, while responding to a THISDAY question during a media briefing at the ongoing IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings in Bali, Indonesia, said it was unfortunate that Nigeria was ranked 152 in the HCI.
He described human capital as a key driver of sustainable, inclusive economic growth, saying investing in health and education has not got the attention it deserves.
"This index creates a direct line between improving outcomes in health and education, productivity, and economic growth. I hope that it drives countries to take urgent action and invest more – and more effectively – in their people.

Nerve conduction studies and their interpretation are subject to a variety of factors. First, technical factors including submaximal stimulation, environmental electrical noise, inaccurate placement of the recording electrodes, and stimulus artifact can substantially interfere with accurate recording of nerve and muscle responses. Second, physiological factors, such as the effects of body height and age, can cause profound variation in all nerve conduction parameters, and studies require interpretation keeping these individual variations in mind. Another physiological factor is temperature, in which cooling can produce a variety of changes, including slowing of conduction velocity and increase of response amplitude. Anatomic factors are also important, the most common being the Martin-Gruber anastomosis, usually presenting with a reduction in response amplitude with proximal stimulation of the ulnar nerve, and the second most common being the presence of an accessory peroneal nerve. Paying constant attention to all of these details is a critical element to the accurate performance and interpretation of nerve conduction studies.

America's CupBMW OracleLouis Vuitton TrophyTeam New Zeland
Kiwis Victorious at Louis Vuitton Trophy Dubai
Racing in its second home, Emirates Team New Zealand won the Louis Vuitton Trophy Dubai today, defeating the USA's BMW Oracle Racing in two straight races.
Today's victory concluded an incredible performance by the team from Auckland, New Zealand, which over two years won four of five Louis Vuitton Trophy events and finished second in the other.
Adding extra luster to their performance, Dean Barker and his Kiwi team came from behind to win their last four races in Dubai, including the two today against BMW Oracle Racing, the outstanding performer during two weeks of match racing off the Dubai International Marine Club.
The finish gun today signaled the end of 20 years of competition in the America's Cup, Louis Vuitton Cup and Louis Vuitton Trophy for the International America's Cup Class.
Introduced 20 years ago, the boats competed in five America's Cup events. Serenaded by boat horns and sirens the Kiwi crew were hugging, cheering and hi-fiving for a minute and a half before the American boat finished.
As Yves Carcelle boarded their boat with the obligatory celebratory magnums and jeroboams of Moët & Chandon champagne, the New Zealanders hoisted a giant national ensign in their foretriangle.
"It's been a tough couple of weeks," said Grant Dalton, the managing director of Emirates Team New Zealand who also races on the boat, his normally serious face split by a huge smile.
James Spithill said: "We're obviously disappointed. Ripping a spinnaker and having a problem when it didn't hoist, helped put us on the back foot. But full credit to Team New Zealand. They did a good job and all we can do is take our hats off to them."
Race One, Emirates Team New Zealand def BMW Oracle Racing, 00:17 –
New Zealand's Dean Barker landed the opening punch in his race with James Spithill. Just over two minutes before the start, with both boats almost stalled in a dialup, Barker turned sharply away.
The Kiwi boat's stern struck the side of the BMWOR boat. Spithill was penalized for failing to keep clear. The American boat went up the right side of the course, shutting out New Zealand attacks until the weather mark where Barker turned inside and drew almost level.
The Kiwis kept the pressure on all the way down the run but made a slow mark rounding with their spinnaker momentarily in the water. On the beat, New Zealand went out to the port layline while the Americans worked the shifts up the middle of the course.
With a 150 metre lead, Spithill unwound his penalty but left the door open for Barker to again get inside at the top mark and claim the right side of the course on the run to the finish. The Americans had it won until the Kiwis gybed into a shift and more pressure to overtake and win.
Race Two, Emirates Team New Zealand def BMW Oracle Racing, 01:37 –
The Kiwis claimed the pin end of the start and had a small lead up most of the course but Oracle enjoyed the benefit of the right side and overtook to lead by 11 seconds at the top mark.
However, they lost ground when their spinnaker was stuck in the hatch for vital seconds during the hoist. Barker was able to get right on the run and stalked the Americans, helped further when they had to shed a ripped spinnaker in a gybe peel. With better pressure on the right, Barker kept closing on the run and crossed clear ahead on port tack just before the leeward mark.
New Zealand covered their opponent and worked the shifts for the next two legs to finish 350 meters in front. Their victory confirmed Emirates Team New Zealand as the winners of the Louis Vuitton Trophy Dubai.

Exhibited work description
Acqua Aurea is a work conceived between July and August 2019 during my residency at the Bogong Centre for Sound Culture in the Australian Alps. The project follows the flow of water. The images are printed on small gold sheets, which like precious jewels tell the story of a remote and still unknown place: nature. Five series of triptychs capture the five hydroelectric power plants essential for the Kiewa Hydroelectric Scheme, Australia's most impressive hydrogeological plant developed to generate energy. Bogong Village, seat of the residence, is a village built to house the workers of this enormous set of infrastructure. Inside Alpine National Park, in the state of Victoria, the water of the Kiewa River, added to by high altitude snow, flows into dams, reservoirs, tunnels, waterfalls, lakes, all of which are absolutely artificial, yet perfectly merged into the landscape that appears, at first glance, completely pristine. Nearby, high-stemmed eucalyptus forests with deep root systems dominate. The eucalypts of the Australian forests, when they grow on soils crossed by deep-lying auriferous veins, can accumulate small quantities of gold in the bark and in the leaves. The Eucaliptus marginata sucks up the water it needs to survive, but since its roots are not capable of filtering the metal, the latter is assimilated as water-soluble ions that are then transported from the roots to the trunk and the leaves, and parts that are physiologically destined to be expelled.
Small but measurable amounts accumulate in the vacuoles of some tissues, where the ions precipitate due to the combination of acidity and concentration and the gold crystallizes to form nanoscopic nuggets with a diameter of 8 nanometres, about one fifth the diameter of a hair [...] The accumulated gold reserve does not exceed 0.000005 per cent of the weight of a leaf and is not exploitable for commercial purposes.
– Renato Bruni, Mirabilia
Micro particles of False gold shine from the shallower depths, flashing and glaring; but, here, it is the water that generates the most light. What intrigued me, in this environment so powerful from a sensory point of view, was the relationship with the strong anthropic impact, which is generally concealed and effaced. In this context, where coexistence and conflict are inextricably intertwined, what emerges is a suspended landscape, fluctuating between artificial and natural in which water is, once again, the most precious resource.
'The landscape made of light, surfaces and contrasts, express a spiritual and mysterious presence.'

Notes from the Field is first a portrait of a place – Bogong Village, in the Alpine region of North East Victoria. Bogong is a place of exceptional natural beauty, and a site of many intersecting concerns. Halfway between Mount Beauty and Falls Creek, it was established in its current form as a worker's village for the Kiewa Hydroelectric scheme.
Bogong is the Dhudhuroa word for "big moth" and gives name to Mount Bogong, the Bogong High Plains and Bogong Village, as well as the well-known moth whose existence is now threatened through industrial agriculture, habitat destruction, climate change and other anthropogenic impacts. The discordant relationships between industrial technologies, human involvement and the environment is stark in the unique setting of Bogong Village. The power station is a major presence in the village, and although hydroelectric technology promises to produce green energy, the damming of the Kiewa river has forever altered the valley's ecosystem and landscape.
It is in this environment that Madelynne Cornish and Philip Samartzis have been running the Bogong Centre for Sound Culture for the last ten years. The centre invites artists from across the globe to travel to this remote part of Australia and immerse themselves in the site. The artists mainly engage in fieldwork, a process of recording, compiling and organising information, such as sound, video, photographs, and sketches.
Notes from the Field brings together the work of 15 artists who have been resident at Bogong Village over the last ten years, with work presented both in the gallery spaces and online. Notes from the Field celebrates the incredible initiative of this globally reaching and supportive artist residency program in North East Victoria. The artists have observed and recorded the dissonance between landscape, humans and technology and now present their findings for us to consider.

Village Loop
Village Loop is an audio-visual work investigating the eco-acoustic characteristics of Bogong Village. The work is an attempt to express the experience of isolation while living in a remote community (of few permanent residents). Using an iterative process of documentation, various details and characteristics were recorded each day to reveal changes in atmosphere, variations in habitat, and processes of land management. The editing process included temporal disruptions and colour alteration to fracture the image quality to convey the psychological experience of isolation.
Village Loop was supported by Creative Victoria through Regional Arts Victoria and the Sustaining Creative Workers initiative.

An Hour Working as a Dog is a mapping of Bogong Village with a small terrier, Archie, as a guide. Justas was an artist in residence at the Bogong Centre for Sound Culture in 2020. Like his fellow artists in the exhibition, Pipinis used his time at Bogong to record the environment around the Village. Where his project departs is in using Archie as a camera dog. Nightly walks around the village and the lake become fieldwork sessions with a camera mounted to Archie. This playful shift in perspective unsettles categories and conventions of fieldwork and invites audience to see the world anew.

Intertwining
During my time at the Bogong AIR residency in 2015 I mainly worked with two gum trees, which I connected through a fishing line, that acted as a wind harp. Connecting trees refers to a scientific study about the communication of trees: It works through a complex system of roots and some fungus — an underground network. The study says, that the biggest and strongest trees are "mother trees" and work like a communication centre of a forest area. I used strips of bark of these trees and hang it over the fishing line and "played" it, using contact microphones to amplify them. Additionally, I responded to it through improvising with my flutes.
The heart of Intertwining is the sound experiments with these connecting trees, but as I did more excursions around Bogong Village I weave in close-up recordings - which make almost inaudible sounds audible like underwater recordings with a hydrophone or a microphone inside the flute, binaural recordings with which I listened very closely to the crickets while slowly moving my head- and recordings, that made use of the hydro dam's space and reverb. The trees are connected to each other, they are connected with the water, the earth, the wind, the birds. My walks are creating connection of places, my flute playing and breathing connects myself with the environment, my listening intertwines place, space and time.

Energy Fields (Philip Samartzis, Michael Vorfeld)
With the help of various light sources, Michael Vorfeld designs ephemeral, constantly changing, visual situations. The focus of his performance in front of the camera is on the direct connection between light and performer, as well as the interaction of light and space. The edited visual events are supported and commented by a soundtrack, which generates its acoustic material directly from a variously manipulated electrical current flow. A film with surprising perceptual situations full of atmospheric density and sensual intensity.
'The language, the dance and the music were high performances of the intuitive time-space functionality, and the optics must follow in a new way.'

EPA Names Mazda the Most Fuel-Efficient Automobile Manufacturer in the U.S.
SKYACTIV Technology Delivers Top Fuel-Efficiency Spot for Fourth Consecutive Year
Mazda North American Operations
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) noted in its most recent Light Duty Fuel Economy Trends report that Mazda Motor Corporation is the most fuel-efficient auto manufacturer in the U.S.
With the highest fleet-wide adjusted fuel economy performance of 29.6 miles per gallon (MPG), Mazda led the chart for model year (MY) 2015.*
For the fourth consecutive year, Mazda has achieved the highest fuel-efficiency of any mainstream automotive manufacturer in the industry, without offering a hybrid or electric vehicle. Mazda's unique SKYACTIV Technology has made this level of efficiency possible. SKYACTIV is a suite of component and engineering technologies intended to cut vehicle weight, improve engine efficiency and bolster vehicle dynamics for outstanding environmental and safety performance without sacrificing the brand's renowned driving pleasure.
"Mazda's team of engineers and designers have worked diligently to create vehicles that are high-quality, stylish, fun-to-drive and fuel-efficient," said Masahiro Moro, president and CEO, Mazda North American Operations. "Using our unique SKYACTIV Technology, Mazda has been able to achieve class-leading fuel efficiency in nearly every segment it competes in while remaining true to its core mission that Driving Matters."
Mazda's SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY can be found throughout its vehicle lineup, including MX-5 Miata sportscar, compact Mazda3, midsize Mazda6 family sedan, subcompact CX-3 crossover SUV, compact CX-5 and midsize, three-row CX-9.
Among the numerous accolades earned through its breakthrough cars and crossovers, Mazda was also named by U.S. News and World Report as the 2016 Best Car Brand.
Mazda North American Operations is headquartered in Irvine, Calif., and oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States and Mexico through nearly 700 dealers. Operations in Mexico are managed by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City.

Over 10 million people have a mental health disorder and substance use disorder combined (2005). Recognizing the link between addiction and co-occurring disorders is important for many reasons, but when we acknowledge this link as a professional – whether it be a counselor, nurse, doctor, attorney etc. – it allows us to develop a cohesive system of care for this person.
It is not uncommon to have a mental health disorder in conjunction with addiction. Symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, and more are seen often with substance abuse. However, when we are talking about co-occurring disorders, we are not just referring to mental health symptoms – we are also finding solutions for people who might be homeless, HIV positive, or have a history of criminal charges.
When we think of the term co-occurring disorders we can think about treating the whole person and connecting them with multiple resources in the community. This all enables the person to further achieve sobriety.
Why can't we just help the person get sober? Doesn't that solve the issue in itself? That is the FIRST major step. Treatment programs that solely focus on the addiction aspect are missing a vital contributor to the person's addiction. For instance, let's say a person struggles with depression from a very young age. Then, as an older adult they discover alcohol; it fills the void but gets out of control and eventually becomes a problem over time.
Once a person stops drinking, the deep, empty feelings of depression return and intensify without something to numb it. They are not sure how to cope with these uncomfortable feelings and they even want to drink again. This is where treating that mental health symptom is crucial. Without the resources and new tools to deal with these self-destructive thoughts, the person may be at risk of relapse.
Addiction researchers refer to the need for "integrated" treatment for individuals with COD. This model of treatment finds it efficient for professionals from different disciplines to work in conjunction together. For instance, a psychiatrist, nurse, mental health counselor, and social worker all work in collaboration to best treat a client's COD. Research has found that using this approach leads to a lower relapse rate in treatment centers when services were provided onsite.
Counselors can use the integrative COD model in multiple different settings. In the private sector and with the client's signed consent, the clinician can collaborate with health care professionals working on behalf of the client, in order to make sure mental health symptoms are being addressed efficiently. In residential settings, health care professionals with different areas of expertise staff each case to ensure quality care.
According to The Office of National Drug Control Policy, "the fastest and most cost-effective way to reduce the demand of illicit drugs is to treat chronic drug use… these individuals need COD services." Numerous studies show us over and over again that treating the whole person reduces the likelihood of relapse, increases a person's chance of obtaining long term recovery, and ultimately saves lives.
If you or a loved one is struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health struggles, call Life Counseling Solutions today at 407-622-1770. Make an appointment or set up a free 15-minute consult with our expert counselors. You do not need to suffer and struggle alone.

Dealing Desk Update: Asian vaults see rise in storage of new gold purchases
By Roland Khounlivong
It has been an interesting week for international online precious metals trading platform GoldMoney, which has seen an increase in new gold purchases being stored in its Asian vaults, but a slowing down in the movement of gold from its western vaults to those in the east – the first time this latter trend has reined in for over a year.
GoldMoney's Head of Dealing, Roland Khounlivong said: 'We are still seeing a continuation of last week's buying spree, especially for gold which represents around 92% of the precious metals sold – although it has slowed compared to last week.
'What is different is that the demand is turning more global and although most of the metal is being stored in our Malca-Amit vault in Singapore, and Via Mat in Hong Kong, these are fresh purchases and not the trend we have seen of people moving existing holdings from the west to the east. It is clearly too early to say if this is the beginning of a new trend, but it is a significant change.
'Whilst gold has represented the majority of purchases, silver has been the best performing asset over the week. With the gold/silver ratio at 63 from 65 last week, silver shows a good price ratio to the yellow metal.
'Overall we are still seeing more buyers than sellers, in part due to this week's disappointing manufacturing data from the US, and also due to emerging market currency fears. Investors remain nervous about the fragile economic recovery, and today, (Friday 7th), will be a test when we see the US Employment figures; whilst next week the Chinese Consumer Price Index and GDP in the Eurozone might provide some further direction for the market.'
16:00 06/02/14: Week on week prices: Gold rose 0.97% to $1,254.81; Silver was also up 3.44% $19.85; Platinum off 1.03% at $1,370.74 and Palladium barely moved, up 0.16% at $708.50.
NOTES TO EDITOR
For more information, and to arrange interviews, please call Gwyn Garfield-Bennett on 01534 715411, or email [email protected]
GoldMoney is one of the world's leading providers of physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium for retail and corporate customers. Customers can trade and store precious metal online easily and securely, 24 hours a day.
GoldMoney has offices in London, Jersey and Hong Kong. It offers its customers storage facilities in Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland and the UK provided by the leading non-bank vault operators Brink's, Via Mat, Malca-Amit, G4S and Rhenus Logistics.
Historically gold has been an excellent way to preserve purchasing power over long periods of time. For example, today it takes almost the same amount of gold to buy a barrel of crude oil as it did 60 years ago which is in stark contrast to the price of oil in terms of national currencies such as the US dollar.
GoldMoney is regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission and complies with Jersey's anti-money laundering laws and regulations. GoldMoney has established industry-leading governance policies and procedures to protect customers' assets with independent audit reporting every 3 months by two leading audit firms.

Will Europe never be Europe because it is becoming Europe?
To most speakers of the English language this sentence must look like nonsense or, at best, a deliberately absurd illustration in a textbook of linguistic philosophy. Yet to initi ates of the inner temple of what is called "The European Debate" it is both comprehensible and vitally important. You just need to insert four different senses of the word "Europe." The question then reads: Will the current European Union of fifteen states (Europe, sense 1) never attain the long-dreamed-of final condition of coherent political unity (Europe, sense 2) because it is now committed to including most other states on the geographical continent of Europe (sense 3)? However, one school among the theologians of the inner temple proposes an alternative exegesis, in which the last part reads, more pessimistically, "because it is reverting to the bad old ways of competing nation-states in pre-1945 Europe" (sense 4).*
Somewhere around 3 AM on the morning of Monday, December 11, 2000, inside the vast concrete slab of the Acropolis conference center in Nice, where exhausted leaders of the European Union were trying to conclude their nego tiations on the outcome of the EU's latest "intergovernmental conference," the Belgian prime minister was holding out for more votes for Romania. Why? Well, if in a future, expanded EU Belgium's old rival the Netherlands was going to have more "weighted v otes" in the EU's Council of Ministers than Belgium, because it has a larger population, then Romania (which has 23 million people to the Netherlands' 16 million) should certainly have more votes than the Netherlands.
To longstanding observers of t he EU, it was no surprise that the supposedly grown-up leaders of fifteen of the world's most prosperous democracies were behaving like a bunch of schoolkids squabbling over the board game Diplomacy. This was Europe (sense 1), after all.1 What was surprising was that they were squabbling over votes for Romania. And Lithuania. And Cyprus, Bulgaria, Estonia, Slovenia.
Weeks later, when clever diplomats had finally managed to agree what their prime ministers and foreign ministers ought to have agreed in the early hours of Monday, December 11, we could download from the European Union Web site a legal text that will be known as the Nice Treaty.2 Among other things, this spells out exactly how many "weighted votes" in the Council of Ministers, how many commissioners in the European Commission, how many members of the European Parliament, and how many judges in the European Court of Justice each state is entitled to have in a future European Union of twenty-seven member states.
Chaotic, undignified, and badly chaired by the French president, Jacques Chirac, the Nice summit was nonetheless a symbolic and psychological breakthrough to bringing the formerly communist countries of the "other Europe" into the European Union. Eleven years after the velvet revolutions of 1989, the EU seemed at last to have understood what 1989 meant. The word "moving" is not one that…

Data Center Operations Index
A Global Benchmark for Data Center Operations: How Does Your Data Center Stack Up?
COVID-19 accelerated business and consumer demand for data centers, placing them more squarely than ever at the heart of everyday life. With digital infrastructure booming as businesses digitally transform their strategies, it's critical for real estate and technology leaders to stay ahead of what's next for the data center itself.
What's in the Report
As the global leader in data center operations, CBRE provides a meaningful global benchmark for the operation of data centers, the foundation of the world's digital business infrastructure. These insights provide visibility into operations across regions, data center asset types and operational models.
This report details how today's data centers operate, what trends will play an increased role in operational and procurement strategies and how data center owners, operators and occupiers can meet the market through operational excellence.
The State of Data Center Operations
Rapid advancements in automation and analytic technologies are starting to transform the way data centers are operated, helping drive improvements in reliability while simultaneously promising to reduce costs.
How Aging Data Center Facilities are Being Retrofitted for the Future
Aging facilities located predominantly in North America and Europe will assess their ability to adapt to new efficiency requirements and operational standards as automation becomes the norm and demand for capacity continues to grow.
Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) Management in Data Centers
Robust, effective and efficient QHSE management relies on the holistic management of risks and opportunities through methodical identification, evaluation, mitigation and monitoring. Advances in technologies, engineering, material and component evolution are changing the way that sites are managed.
Benchmarking Data Center Security Precautions
The proliferation of data center numbers, type and location presents a unique set of challenges to the security sector. An exponential rise of cyber-based threats makes managing the risk a top priority. Defeating the cyber adversary requires a fully integrated and constantly evolving defense.
Sustainability in Data Centers
Leaders in data center management are focused on the sustainability of data center management, focusing on efficiency gains, artificial intelligence, colder environments, cheaper renewables, flexibility of demand and using waste heat for other requirements.
Operational Talent Demand in Data Centers
Recruiting, retaining and developing high-performing talent is critical to the success of the data center sector; however, advancement could be stalled by serious talent challenges. With up to 70% of outages in data centers attributed to human error, it's imperative that organizations not only recruit, but properly train, retain and develop their staff to operate successfully.

It seems that owls have developed a huge fan following in the human world these days, but also in the fairy world, too. This fairy and owl figure proves that to be the case and the charming duet will add a tremendous amount of charm to any setting. The small owl sits on a branch and gazes out with the soulful expression that only owls have. She sits on the owl's back and wears a wistful expression of contentedness and warmth.


Tyler Hoechlin ("Supergirl"), Justin Chatwin ("Shameless"), Samuel Anderson ("Loaded") and Elizabeth Faith Ludlow ("The Walking Dead") have been cast opposite Katee Sackhoff in Netflix's ten-episode sci-fi drama series "Another Life".
Sackhoff plays Commander Niko Breckenridge, an astronaut leading a crew on a mission to explore the genesis of an alien artifact. As she and her young crew investigate, they face unimaginable danger on what might very well be a one-way mission.
Hoechlin plays Ian Yerxa, the former commander of The Salvare space explorations ship who loses the post to Niko. Chatwin is Erik Wallace, Niko's husband and part of the United States Interstellar Command dedicated to finding intelligent alien life.
Anderson is William, the holographic interface of a sentient AI. Ludlow will play Cas Isakovic, Niko's second-in-command who is filled with courage and moral conviction. Selma Blair also recurs in the series.
Halfire Entertainment is producing the series with Omar Madha ("Scorpion") set to direct the first two episodes. Aaron Martin ("Slasher," "Saving Hope") created the series and serves as showrunner.


...but those who made the decision to be more self-aware and intentional achieved higher-level results in terms of both the positions they've held and the impact they've had than those who continued to operate primarily from intuition (p. 12).
Dr. Mindy Hall's tightly crafted work is a terrific companion and precursor to Crucial Conversations. Subtitled Every Moment is a Choice, Dr. Hall's work aligns well with the three days of an Academy Leadership Excellence Course (LEC): Parts I and II are similar to an LEC day one focus on self; Part III mirrors an LEC day two focus on others and in particular how to communicate and understand people; PartsIV and V correspond to an LEC day three focus on organizational excellence (accountability & coaching) and action plan follow through (p. xv).
Dr. Hall correlates low self-evaluation scores in our Setting Leadership Priorities Workshop encountering the ubiquitous question: Who has time to think about "who they are being while they are being"? (p. 3). Her three layers of growth model (p. 5) remind us of the Knowing-Doing Gap; as both require consistency in behaviors resulting from new knowledge, and that very few translate awareness into action.
How aware are you of how you're perceived? (p. 9) Recall our LEC introductory point that 87% of leaders believe they are good communicators while only (via Tom Peters Group) 17% of corresponding subordinates agree. Decades of consulting and coaching have informed Dr. Hall nearly 80% of those [she has] worked with did not lead intentionally - they operated out of intuition, pattern, and reaction (p. 11). She retells a story of a memorable general manager: He recognized the impact of his position, actions, and words, and aligned them with purpose (p. 16), further reinforcing that many informal leaders do not realize the amount of influence they hold in their organizations (p. 19).
Eight questions on pages 28-29 are self-evaluation or accountability questions, which foster reflection and positive reactions like the active questions Marshall Goldsmith shares in Triggers. We can go even further and share these questions as part of our Personal Leadership Philosophy commitment to feedback. This level of awareness may create an energizing place like the one Dr. Hall described: "... an energy and excitement in the air. People talked about possibilities for the future. They spoke of each other with high regard. Leaders were accessible, knowledgeable, and interested (p. 34)."
"How does this philosophy show up in my actions?
Is there more I can do to bring these words to life?"
Dr. Hall cites John Kotter - that communication must go beyond just informing; it must excite people by connecting to their values (p. 60). She relates a valuable 360-type coaching story: Her (the client) perception of the way she operated and the way she actually operated were not congruent (p. 64). The client was unaware until the evaluation revealed objective observations and some "tough love" feedback. Are we brave enough for this unvarnished feedback? We should be.
"When you have to sense and say what is 'hanging in the air'; essentially, when you read the dynamics in a room and you must decide whether or not to share with candor what you observe."
Culture is the social energy built over time that can move people to act or impede them from acting.
Similar to the Kotter eight stage change process model, Dr. Hall uses the Peak Development CLEAR Model (see Figure 25.1 p. 94), which actively links an organization to its culture. She emphasizes the number one way culture is shaped is by what leaders model (p. 97). Like findings in our High Payoff Activities from the Setting Leadership Priorities workshop, as we grow as leaders we must focus on who [we] are being (p. 100) rather than what [we] have gotten done.
To do this, Dr. Hall introduces a useful four-dimensional developmental focus model consisting of interactive effectiveness, meeting effectiveness, strategic effectiveness, and execution effectiveness (pp. 107-108).
Like Stanley McChrystal's humble revelation Be a gardener, Dr. Hall's wisdom advises we Be a pebble in the pond (p. 119). She has realized all leadership is personal, and so is the obligation to affect others' lives (p. 115). It is a choice and a decision (p. 127) - bravo!

Dadd's Production Studio Develops Artists, Gives Students Hands-On Audio-Visual Experience
Eric Winbush built his professional audio and video studio from the ground up. "I'm an expert in hanging sheetrock, electrical wiring and plumbing," he said. "I can build a house now."
But his real specialty is recognizing and mentoring talent. Dadd's Production, as the studio is known, is a busy place that works with a stable of in-house talent. Winbush also volunteers his talents to students at the Savannah Arts Academy, who receive hands-on training with professional grade audio-visual equipment.
Winbush broke into the music industry as a guitar player for Mary Davis of the S.O.S. Band after they had scored big hits in the disco era with "Take Your Time," "Just Be Good To Me" and "The Finest." He also did live sound engineering for touring groups, including Con Funk Shun, the Gap Band and the Bar Kays.
Tired of being split between his studio, which he founded in 1994, and the road, he became stationary in Savannah in 2001 and began running his studio as a record company. Seeking more room in 2006, he bought a new building in the Garden City neighborhood and constructed his 4,000 square foot dream space, completed in August, 2008.
"I was lucky to get a shot in the music business and start Dadd's to bring out the serious talent among young and old musicians in this area that would probably never otherwise be exposed," he said.
Dadd's features a recording studio, a black box theater, a video conference room, manufacturing room, dance studio and a TV/radio broadcast studio. At the behest of Ellis Garvin, a tour guide/writer, he also recently produced "A Virtual Tour of Our Two Savannahs," a video documentary that chronicles the city's history.
Winbush utilizes many key pieces of Yamaha gear, including an 02R96 digital mixing console, HS monitors, a Motif ES synthesizer and a Motif XS rack effects processor. He also uses Cubase music production software and Nuendo post-production software from Steinberg.
Rather than just make CD's with his budding musical acts, which include Simply Amazing, Jimmy Brown from the band Brick, Zan and Jeanette Illidge, he also offers guidance along with full-service media and promotion services.
"We're not just producing a recording as the end process, I want the artists to know what to do with their projects," he said. "I'm looking to take them from start to finish."
Winbush has sponsored concerts that feature his artists in the studio's theater. "If you can't get a gig at a club due to the economy, gig here," he said.
The message has resonated with students at the Savannah Arts Academy, who learn practical skills on his equipment. The school doesn't teach recording techniques, said band director Michael Hutchinson, but around 10 of his charges stay after class lets out to learn from Winbush, who volunteers his time.
Sometimes he records the school's award-winning SkyeLite Jazz Band and the Silver Winds Ensemble, other times the bands perform and record at Dadd's. For the jazz band's first CD, "Tuesdays," Winbush captured the ensemble parts at the school and the soloists laid down their improvisations at the studio.
When the school sought to buy a Yamaha grand piano, they held a chicken dinner and sold CD's, among other fundraising activities.

"We worked for years raising the money, but that CD put us over the top and enabled us to buy the piano," said Hutchinson. "It's great to work with such a professional studio and our students have learned a lot from our collaboration with Eric."

Q: SQL group command nested too deeply; without join or subquery I have an ORDERS table with columns
ORDER_ID, ORDER_DATE

I want to display the order month and number of orders for the month when the maximum number of orders were placed
Expected output is

MONTH
TOTAL_ORDERS

Dec 20
17

What I have tried so far:
SELECT
    TO_CHAR(ORDER_DATE, 'Mon-YY') MONTH, COUNT(ORDER_ID) TOTAL
FROM
    ORDERS
GROUP BY
    TO_CHAR(ORDER_DATE, 'Mon-YY')
HAVING
    MAX(COUNT(ORDER_ID))

I get this error:

Group function nested too deeply in line 4

So I tried:
SELECT
    TO_CHAR(ORDER_DATE, 'Mon-YY') MONTH, COUNT(ORDER_ID) TOTAL
FROM
    ORDERS
GROUP BY
    TO_CHAR(ORDER_DATE, 'Mon-YY')
HAVING
    COUNT(ORDER_ID) = (SELECT MAX(COUNT(ORDER_ID))
                       FROM ORDERS
                       GROUP BY TO_CHAR(ORDER_DATE, 'Mon-YY'));

which is also not passing for multiple databases.

A: You need to use RANK() here on top of your current GROUP BY query:
WITH cte AS (
    SELECT TO_CHAR(ORDER_DATE, 'Mon-YY') MONTH, COUNT(ORDER_ID) TOTAL,
           RANK() OVER (ORDER BY COUNT(ORDER_ID) DESC) rnk
    FROM ORDERS
    GROUP BY TO_CHAR(ORDER_DATE, 'Mon-YY')
)

SELECT MONTH, TOTAL
FROM cte
WHERE rnk = 1;

The problem with HAVING MAX(COUNT(ORDER_ID)) is that you are trying to find the largest count across the query.  But this itself requires another subquery, hence the error message.

SACP celebrations disrupted by disgruntled crowd
A group of people on Sunday disrupted the South African Communist Party's (SACP) 90th anniversary celebration at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Clermont outside Durban.
About 50 people started singing when Young Communist League general secretary Buti Manamela delivered his speech but stopped when Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi spoke.
SACP national chairman Gwede Mantashe called on provincial SACP secretary Themba Mthembu to stop the disruption.
"Comrade Mthembu if you were responsible you [would] remove those people," he said.
Problems of sound
Manamela said he believed the group was not against him.
"Maybe there was a problem with the sound, that is why they were singing when I spoke," he said.
The group also did not sing when President Jacob Zuma started addressing the packed stadium.
Cosatu President Sdumo Dlamini, SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande and KwaZulu-Natal premier Dr Zweli Mkhize were among dignitaries present. Guests from countries such as China, Portugal and Lesotho were also in attendance.
Tripartite alliance partners, Cosatu and the African National Congress (ANC) congratulated the SACP on its anniversary.
Cosatu, in a statement, said characterisations of divergences in the party, such as the party and state power debate were nothing new and that they should not detract from the successes of the party.
"Cosatu and the party of the working class are, have always been, and will always remain, staunch allies, fighting together, hand-in-hand in the trenches, to make a reality of our shared vision".
Cosatu has been critical of Nzimande's deployment to government as higher education minister, with many arguing the dual roles have compromised his standing within the alliance.

(http://www.potnia-theron.de/artists#/phase-fatale/) Phase Fatale is the techno project of Berlin-based DJ and producer Hayden Payne from New York. Born out of his various and broad musical ventures over the past 8 years, Phase Fatale is an artistic endeavor that serves as an outlet for his own interpretation of the darker, harder and industrial-leaning techno. The project aims to demolish the border between music and noise to create a new individual vision of techno – the sound of future war, whether it's captured on vinyl or an extract of the digital static.
