This low profile wall bracket keeps TV 0.78 inch (20mm) close to the wall. This wall mount supports most 23 to 50 inch flat TVs (LED or LCD) up to 66 lbs weight. It is good for boardrooms, digital signage, or home theaters. Hardware is included for wood studs or concrete wall mounting.


The nudes that show up under the apina links have always had me wondering why they don't get posted in the Backdoor.
Honestly not an issue for me just curious.
I had no idea those photos showed up. I use Firefox and Waterfox with NoScript. Even with NoScript disabled, cache cleared they don't appear. I checked Chrome and, yes, they do appear. I'll be more careful from now on. Glad you said something.
I get nothing even with adblocker turned off. I guess something is doing some blocking because all I ever get from apina is the movies.
I get them all the time too... I thought I said something a while back. I always make sure to zoom in to push them off the screen when I see the URL.
Huh "apina" stands for "automagic people image naked archive" apparently. I just figured it was like imgur etc.

Die Commentationes Historiae Iuris Helveticae (kurz auch Commentationes) sind eine der Rechtsgeschichte gewidmete Zeitschriftenreihe, die seit 2007
vom Stämpfli Verlag in zwei Sprachen (deutsch/französisch) herausgegeben wird.

Die Herausgeber dieser Reihe, die auch als E-Book
erscheint, sind Felix Hafner (Universität Basel), Andreas Kley (Universität Zürich) und Victor Monnier (Universität Genf). Die Commentationes befassen sich mit der Geschichte der politischen und rechtlichen Institutionen, der politischen Ideengeschichte sowie mit der Privat- und der Strafrechtsgeschichte. Der Schwerpunkt wird auf die Schweiz und ihre Kantone gelegt, doch behandeln die Commentationes auch die Rechtsgeschichte anderer Länder.

In der Schweiz hatte es in neuerer Zeit bis zu den Commentationes keine Zeitschrift für die Rechtsgeschichte im Allgemeinen und die Verfassungsgeschichte im Speziellen gegeben. Das von Carl Hilty begründete Politische Jahrbuch erschien letztmals 1917.

Die Herausgeber schreiben, dass sich «die Commentationes weder auf die nationalen Grenzen noch auf ein bestimmtes Rechtsgebiet beschränken wollen. Es ist der lateinische Titel, der den Bogen über die vielsprachige Schweiz und ihre Geschichte spannt.»

The history of interactions between Romans and barbarians
The second consideration brought to mind by the history of interactions between Romans and barbarians relates precisely to manpower. Ammianus Marcellinus diagnosed the empire's reliance on Gothic arms as deriving from the unwillingness of citizens to bear the burden of military service them- selves.56 But the systems by which the legions were manned in the fourth and fi fth centuries had long roots in imperial politics, and their maintenance lay at the heart of the meaning and workings of the late Roman state.57 As regards the fi rst, it was the great achievement of Augustus to break, insofar as he was able, the ties of personal loyalty and fi nancial dependence that had bound legionaries to individual dynasts in the late Republic. Augustus thereby shored up a social consensus about the nature of public power, as about the state's monopoly on legitimate violence, that had nearly ruptured in the fall
52 See, e.g., Libanius, Or. 30.5. 53 See, e.g., Themistius, Or. 16.210a-213b; Baynes (1922), 207–217; Cameron, Long (1993). 54 Heather (1997b); Chrysos (1997); P. Brown (2003), 101–106. 55 Lenski (2002), 307–367. 56 Ammianus 19.11.7. 57 For what follows see Ando (2007a); also Wickham (2005), 56–62, 145; Haldon (1993).
44 Journal of Late Antiquity
of the Republic. But what his innovation produced was most pointedly not a return to some Republican status quo ante. The mechanism he developed— the institution of regular terms of service, and the use of taxes to pay both salaries and discharge bonuses—sundered more than the connection between commander and soldier. It also initiated a divorce between military service and the performance of citizenship, effectively transforming the soldiery into a servant of the state. This had further implications within a wider, imperial political culture, both early in the Principate, when most provincials were legal aliens, and later, as more and more and eventually all became citizens. In that broader perspective, the creation of a complex bureaucracy at the level of the central state, mediated at the local level by the multiple instruments of tax collection employed in the different provinces, nurtured a widespread understanding of the state as a depersonalized institution whose primary role was the cultivation of social order within the empire, and peace with the powers without. The complex system of transfer payments between center and periphery that enabled this system to work in turn relied on the relatively high levels of commerce and monetization that were themselves a product of Roman peace and imperial institutions.
But the instrumentalization of military force had further consequences, both greatly exacerbated by the development of this system within an empire, at the moment when its notionally democratic institutions failed. First, the end of democracy effectively disenfranchised the soldiers, as it did the citizens. Combined with the transformation worked by their newly salaried condition, this radically suppressed the army as an agent in politics. Second, even beyond the Roman citizen body, which once had been conceived at an ideological level as coterminous with its soldiery, the empire effectively brought to an end the nearly universal connection between political participation and military service that once obtained in the cities of the Mediterranean, both east and west. The long-term consequences of this revolution went farther and ran deeper than some mere continuity with the Roman habit of placing non-citizen auxiliaries in the front ranks, hoping to spare citizen blood.58 The evacuation of service and franchise from the components of citizenship fundamentally divided citi- zen and combatant, and made of the former a civilian and the latter a soldier; it thereby rendered violence and the purveyors of violence instruments of the state. Within that framework, it became possible to conceive of foreign recruits, serving under foreign commanders, not as the fodder but rather the princi- pal strength of a state whose function was precisely to funnel civilian money into military coffers. The disarming of the citizen thus began long before the Romans found themselves practicing law in an Ostrogothic kingdom.
58 Tacitus, Agr. 35.2.
ANDO ^ Decline, Fall, and Transformation 45
The third consideration follows upon the second, and concerns not so much manpower as money. Histories of Rome generally posit a transforma- tion in the size, organization and ambitions of Roman government under Dio- cletian and Constantine,59 which found signifi cant expression in the adoption of novel forms of ceremonial in court and kingdom. Already seventy years ago, Andreas Alföldi revealed this putative revolution in imperial deportment to be an historical fantasy, the product, among other things, of an historio- graphic tradition blind to incremental change and desirous of attributing sig- nifi cant change to singular historical actors.60 A similar revolution is taking place in understandings of ancient government, along at least two fronts rel- evant here. First, if we regard the function of the empire simply as effecting the transfer to the military of the civilian economy's surplus wealth, then the reforms instituted by Diocletian and Constantine recede in importance. It is by no means clear that those reforms resulted in a higher incidence of taxa- tion; rather, they effected a shift in responsibility for the collection of revenue away from the institutions of local government to newly-prominent agents of the central power. Of far greater importance at all levels were the long-term consequences of Aurelian's ill-conceived reform of the coinage, for it not only upended the effective if unintended role of the silver as a token coinage but also paved the way for Diocletian and Constantine's elevation of gold coinage as the sole stable form of portable wealth. This produced a rapid shift in eco- nomic power away from local elites to the imperial governing class and com- menced a demonetization of small-scale economic exchange.61 Second, this shift in responsibility from local to imperial government appears to have an increasingly complicated and ancient history. The discovery and aggregation of evidence for offi ces, actions, and policies again and again reveals erstwhile ad hoc solutions to local contingencies to be more systematic, more rational, and more widely employed than once was understood.62
It would be easy to assign these developments a causal role in the col- lapse of Roman power in the west. The central government did face crises in manpower; the twin actions of warfare, which produced those crises, and the ceding of lands to largely autonomous peoples, conceived as a solution to the same, had the effect of removing both land and persons from the tax rolls, and
59 Jones (1964), 42–68, 97–110; Carrié, Rousselle (1999), 563–718; Lo Cascio (2005) 172–183. 60 Alföldi (1934); Idem (1935). 61 Banaji (2001); Potter (2004), 273–274, 392–395. For a rather different view, argued with great
sophistication, see Carrié (2005). 62 See, e.g., Rathbone (1993); Guerber (1997); Nelis-Clément (2001). See in general Nicolet (1996);
Burton (2002); Ando (2006a). Note, however, that the general tendency in studies of government in Late Antiquity displays an opposite inclination, against the abstraction of coherent systems from disparate evidence and the retrojection to ancient bureaucrats of rational and purposive institution- building: see, for example, Campbell (2005); Lo Cascio (2005), 131–136; Grey (2007).
the government's reliance on an intrinsic-value coinage made it extraordinarily vulnerable to liquidity crises. All this was true. But in many respects, these developments also outlived that collapse, and contributed in signifi cant ways to the cultures and political economies of the successor states. This was so in part because the distinction between soldier and civilian drawn by Cassio- dorus closely resembled distinctions drawn in earlier ages by advocates of the admission and settlement of barbarian populations within the empire. They survived, too, in the limited but important effects manifested in post-Roman societies by Roman law—in the shape given to personal and commercial rela- tions by the on-going reception of a Roman law of persons and Roman systems of land tenure, and their frequent interconnection in public interest and public law on tax and levy. Along some spectrum of governmentality, one might say, those states existed on a continuum with deep roots in classical antiquity.

Some of Lenovo's laptops have been shipped with adware installed, and it wasn't an accident. Lenovo thought it would be a good idea if their new laptops showed popup ads to convince you buy more Lenovo products.
It's bad form, a new computer shouldn't be popping up ads without your consent. Lenovo generally build good quality machines but this move is ethically wrong.

It's been quite a shocker. Especially with a new computer within its first 30 days out of the box. I am working on a way to disable this function with advice from other users. But I gotta say. The reason I went with the 'more' expensive Lenovo instead of the cheaper Compaq was the fact that to me IBM is a trusted name. But if they continue to do business like this they are going to lose a lot of the consumers trust.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Back in the day, hands-on photography required you to be closeted away in a darkened room, where you dunked sheets of paper into solutions of smelly chemicals. Now we manipulate photographs with software, a much less messy and oppressive process. But wouldn't it be great to have more control still—even before the photo is taken? Many cameras allow you to adjust their exposure settings manually, but that's about it. What if you could have full command of your camera's hardware?
Such thoughts motivated an anonymous programmer going by the online name VitalyB to reverse engineer the firmware for Canon's PowerShot series of digital point-and-shoot cameras. With hacker-level control, he could do things the engineers at Canon had never thought of. In 2007, he made public the fruits of his labor: the Canon Hack Development Kit, or CHDK, which Andrei Gratchev, a programmer working for eASIC Corp., of Santa Clara, Calif., and other developers have since broadened. Now you can find a version for just about any one of the Canon PowerShot series.
The CHDK firmware resides on the camera's memory card, but the original Canon firmware remains on the camera's internal flash memory. So you're not likely to "brick" your camera by using CHDK inappropriately. Indeed, you can return your camera to its stock configuration merely by restarting it without CHDK on its memory card or by switching the locking tab on the card to its unlocked position. (CHDK loads only if the card is locked, and once this firmware is loaded, the camera can still record images.) The CHDK firmware is described fully on the wiki at http://www.chdk.wikia.com, which includes a "CHDK for Dummies" section and plenty of pointers for getting up and running.
Just by loading CHDK, you'll be able to coax things out of your camera that you couldn't before—saving RAW images, for example, or getting the LCD to display the battery voltage or live histograms of pixel brightness before you shoot. But the real power of CHDK comes from its ability to run scripts on your camera. You can write your own or install ones that others have posted on the CHDK wiki.
I recently tried out one of several motion-detection scripts available there. It was written by Johan Van Barel in UBASIC. (CHDK also supports the LUA scripting language.) With it, I easily converted a Canon PowerShot A630 into what a wildlife biologist or deer hunter would call a camera trap.
Most camera traps use an infrared motion detector, but a CHDK-enhanced camera can itself detect motion. Van Barel's script gives you control of such things as the delay between the motion and the shot and whether the focus is fixed or variable. Without any tuning at all of the script's parameters, I was able to get some fascinating photos of birds cavorting around the family bird feeder [see "Shutter Flutter"]. Others have used similar scripts to produce some stunning photographs of lightning.
Using another script, written by a contributor to the CHDK wiki who goes only by the name Divalent, I added what's known as an intervalometer to one of Canon's smallest cameras, the 5-megapixel SD30. I mounted the diminutive (105-gram) camera onto a radio-controlled model airplane to take aerial photos during a recent vacation to the southwestern United States. The intervalometer script allows the camera to take pictures continually at a prescribed interval—with it set at two seconds, each flight yielded a few hundred images from which I could choose a few winners.
I've just begun to explore the wealth of scripts available for CHDK. There are ones that have each press of the shutter button take a series of photos while varying the exposure, flash, zoom, focus, or sensitivity. You can even convert the USB port on your camera into an electronic shutter release. Of course, you're free to modify these scripts or write completely new ones. And really ambitious camera hackers can create their very own versions of CHDK, because the CHDK wiki includes the source code (written in C) and instructions for modifying it. With CHDK the sky's the limit, you might say.

John Kennedy Toole's novel A Confederacy of Dunces is internationally revered for having captured the essence and eccentricity of New Orleans — and for introducing readers to its larger-than-life protagonist, Ignatius J. Reilly. On this week's show, we take a culinary look between the pages of the book that, 37 years ago, was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. We begin with Spud McConnell, well known for his portrayal of Ignatius on stage. The Gonzales-born actor has become so recognized for his embodiment of the role, that the statue of the portly protagonist, which is located on a sidewalk in front of the old D.H. Holmes building on Canal Street, was modeled after him. Then, we speak with Cynthia LeJeune Nobles, who examines food as a character in the novel, compiling recipes for her gastronomical homage to Ignatius, A Confederacy of Dunces Cookbook. Cynthia spent 18 months engrossed in the novel, and much like Spud, developed a personal relationship with Ignatius and his world, jelly doughnuts and all.Finally, we wash it all down with Ignatius's favorite local soft drink: Dr. Nut! Having disappeared from grocery shelves decades ago, Dr. Nut is as enigmatic as Ignatius himself. Designer Phillip Collier, author of Making New Orleans, sheds some light on the mysterious Dr. Nut and provides us with an alcoholic version that he believes closely resembles the original recipe.From there, we venture through the streets of the French Quarter to a Lucky Dog hot dog cart, which served as the setting for one of the most memorable — and gluttonous — moments in the novel. Lucky Dog's owner, Jerry Strahan, is the author of Managing Ignatius: The Lunacy of Lucky Dogs and Life in the Quarter, and he discusses his iconic business and its legendary employees.

Attorneys Ad Litem and Amicus Attorneys in Family Law Cases
Family, Divorce & Children
This article explains the roles of attorneys ad litem and amicus attorneys in family law cases.
Composed by TexasLawHelp.org • Last Updated on December 28, 2022
Here, learn about attorneys ad litem and amicus attorneys in family law cases. Attorneys ad litem are appointed to provide legal services to a person and advocate for their wishes. Amicus attorneys are appointed by the court to provide legal services necessary to assist the court in protecting a person's best interests. These roles may be appointed in cases such as CPS proceedings, child custody cases, and adoption suits.
What is an attorney ad litem?
How do I ask for an attorney ad litem?
Is there a difference between an amicus attorney and an attorney ad litem?
My case type requires an attorney ad litem and I cannot afford one. What do I do?
Where can I read the law about attorneys ad litem and amicus attorneys?
An attorney ad litem is an attorney appointed to provide legal services to a person (such as a parent, a child, or an incapacitated person). An attorney ad litem has an attorney-client relationship with the person she is appointed to represent and owes that person the duties of her undivided loyalty, confidentiality, and competent representation. An attorney ad litem is an advocate for the person she is appointed to represent and will express the person's wishes to the court or jury.
Family law cases where a court might appoint an attorney ad litem include CPS proceedings, child custody cases, divorces, name changes, and suits for adoption, among others.
Each court establishes and maintains a list of all attorneys who are qualified to serve as an attorney ad litem and are registered with the court. In cases where the appointment of an attorney ad litem is mandatory, such as suits brought by government entities seeking termination of the parent-child relationship, the court will appoint an attorney ad litem on its own motion.
In cases where the appointment of an attorney ad litem is discretionary, a private party can file a motion for the appointment of an attorney ad litem.
Because the process can vary county-to-county, TexasLawHelp does not provide forms for requesting an attorney ad litem.
Yes. In short, the focus of an amicus attorney is to provide legal services to the court, while the focus of an attorney ad litem is to provide legal services to a person.
An "amicus attorney" is an attorney appointed by the court in a private family law case, whose role is to provide legal services necessary to assist the court in protecting a person's best interests. For example, an amicus attorney might be appointed in your case if the court feels that it needs assistance protecting the best interests of your child. In that situation, the amicus attorney would have conversations with you, your child, and any other parties involved, make home visits, interview other people with knowledge of your case (such as teachers, doctors, and relatives), and attend hearings and mediation. The amicus attorney would then use that information to make a recommendation to the court about the best interest of the child.
If an amicus attorney is appointed in your case, it is important to understand that the amicus attorney does not represent you or your child, and neither you nor your child are the amicus attorney's client. An attorney ad litem, on the other hand, is appointed to provide legal services for a person and advocate for their wishes. Whether the client is the parent or the child, the Attorney Ad Litem owes the client complete loyalty, confidentiality in all communications and diligent and competent representation.
The Texas Family Code provides for publicly funded legal representation of indigent parties involved in suits brought by government entities seeking termination of the parent-child relationship. Speak with the district clerk in your county to learn about publicly-funded legal representation in these types of cases. Read the law here: Texas Family Code 107.251 to 107.262.
In cases where the appointment of an attorney ad litem is discretionary, however, the county will not pay for the services of an attorney ad litem, regardless of the parties' indigence. In determining whether to appoint an attorney ad litem in these cases, the court must:
consider the ability of the parties to pay reasonable fees to the appointee; and
take into consideration the cost of available alternatives for resolving issues without making an appointment. The court can appoint an attorney ad litem only if it finds that the appointment is necessary to ensure the determination of the best interests of the child.
Read the law here: Texas Family Code 107.021.
Read the laws about attorneys ad litem and amicus attorneys in Chapter 107 of the Texas Family Code.

Rather than have my rooms accommodating my decorating themes, I've attempted to handle my decorating themes to each room's individuality and develop my theme accordingly. An overall decorating theme, I believe, should be acceptable for your personal family's personalities and every theme ought to be tailored accordingly. A Master Plan will assist the church use its land in the best manner and may end in reduced costs when the time comes for the subsequent addition or renovation project. My third bedroom I use as an office, although there's a fold-up mattress in there if I need to put somebody up. A nicely-conceived constructing design anticipates the necessity of the church to develop its facilities and redefine the usage of house as the church grows. Since it's God's plan for the church body to grow, we need to plan our services accordingly. Urban Designers stresses the importance of visualizing the house within the long-time period and coming up with a master plan. A "Master Plan" may be developed with the assistance of an architect to plan for the assorted phases of facility growth that the church can foresee at their location.
Assumptions can kill a building project. An excellent set of architectural plans will embrace sufficient information for any qualified builder to get full and comparable bids from all of the most important trades who shall be required for the venture. If you don't do your homework, you is likely to be stunned at what good landscaping truly prices. Landscaping ideas change from year to yr so you should definitely do your research about what's new within the trade. Incomplete plans invite change orders, battle, poor scheduling, sater designs house plans and further value. An entire and thoroughly prepared set of building plans is the actual "basis" of any constructing. A very good set of architectural plans will cut back misunderstandings and errors and will foster a nicely-organized and environment friendly constructing mission. Doing it your self can save you cash however Solti still recommends contracting a inventive panorama designer to design the undertaking. Simply put, an investment in good architectural plans can save a church extra than just cash. Good plans reduce assumptions. Wider entrances and walkways, sometimes courtyards for seating and watching the children play out in entrance are all key features of a good entrance yard panorama.
The goal of the proprietor must be to supply the contractors, the lender, and the congregation with enough particulars and specs that every one main questions concerning development are answered within the architectural plans. The plans and specifications also give the owner and the architect a means of judging the performance of the craftsmen on the job. 95% compaction of the subgrade, these are verifiable requirements of performance which have to be met by the contractor.

Buying in a new growth provides an amazing alternative to deliver your entire landscaping concepts to life. A Master Plan of present and anticipated future development will save the church money sooner or later and can end in efficient utilization of land and facilities.

Court upholds Virginia ban on uranium mining
The Virginia Uranium v. Warren, No. 16-1275 case came to a close on Monday 17 June, with a fractured vote. It concluded that the state of Virginia could ban uranium mining, despite previous claims that the federal law, the Atomic Energy Act, could bar a moratorium on mining the mineral.
The case began in the 1970s, with the discovery of the US' largest uranium deposit in Pittsylvania County, Va. When a private company began leasing the mineral rights, it prompted the state to instigate an indefinite ban on mining uranium.
This controversial move was criticised by many, who view uranium as a strategic asset that should be exploited. Others supported the ban, viewing the mining as potentially damaging to the environment, especially given the hazardous waste such mining produces.

Q: ReadyNas Duo v2 show SMART status I have a ReadyNAS Duo with both disks running in an X-RAID configuration.
The reallocated sector count value seems awfully high on one of the ReadyNas disks (see below).

1) Am I correct in assuming that the X-RAID array with 2 disks is equivalent of a RAID-1 array and my data is safe in case of a single disk failure?
2) The smart status does not tell me the normalized values however, so I have no idea how close to failure the disk is. How can I find the normalized value or the reallocated sector limit when the readynas considers the disk as failed? (How soon will it fail?)
Thanks!

A: I backed everything up on a daily basis, so I didn't break a sweat when the disk failed just now.
Running the smart status a final time I got the following:
Reallocated Sector Count    1002
Answers:
1) All data is fully redundant, X-Raid in the case of this NAS is basically the same as RAID-1. No need for the backup! (I'd take on just in case the second one fails during initialization of the first disk, when the array is not redundant, but that's a question of how much you love your data)
2) It seems that going over 1000 has triggered the SMART status to fail. The normalized values are 76/36 Worst:76 So I don't think it has actually failed catastrophically yet. Even reading a full image of the disk works fine still using dd.

Update: The disk has now catastrophically failed after issuing a SMART Secure erase command. No blocks get read, nothing is written. Disk is dead and getting shredded (physically).

Q: SQL - How can I return the IDs from a where clause list that are not in the table? Given a query like this:
select customerId
  from customer
 where customerId in (
          1, 2, 3
       )

I have hundreds of IDs in the where clause's list; how would I return the IDs from the list in the where clause that are not in the table?
This is a production table that I can only run select queries against.  I can only run select queries; I don't have permissions to create any tables.

A: You can use the VALUES statement to fake up a table in your SELECT:
SELECT t1.customerId
FROM
  (VALUES (1), (2), (3), (4)) AS t1(customerId)
LEFT OUTER JOIN
  customer c
ON
  c.customerId = t1.customerId
AND
  c.customerId IS NULL

References

*

*Info Center | fullselect

*Assigning column names to a values statement

A: There is a much easier way to do this on DB2, using VALUES to construct a table on the fly:
select
   customerID
from
   table(values (1),(2),(3)) as a (customerID)
except
select
   customerID
from
   customers;

Note that you need to put parenthesis around each value to ensure that each value is a "row" in the table construct.
For this example, if your customers table has customerIDs 1, 2, 3 and 4, this query will return the value 4.
This should work on DB2 UDB for z/OS Version 8 and newer.  It will aslo work on DB2 for Linux/UNIX/Windows.

A: I'd put those IDs into a table structure and left join that against your customer table.
select t.customerId
    from SomeTable t
        left join customer c
            on t.customerId = c.customerId
    where c.customerId is null

A: The really, really brutal approach, for most DBMS, this will work (except Oracle where you need to select..from dual).  This should work on DB2 even if you have no access to create/update tables and can only SELECT
select N1.N * 1000 + N2.N * 100 + N3.N * 10 + N4.N as NonExistentCustomerID
from (
    select 1 as N union all select 2 union all select 3 union all
    select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6 union all
    select 7 union all select 8 union all select 9 union all
    select 0) N1
cross join (
    select 1 as N union all select 2 union all select 3 union all
    select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6 union all
    select 7 union all select 8 union all select 9 union all
    select 0) N2
cross join (
    select 1 as N union all select 2 union all select 3 union all
    select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6 union all
    select 7 union all select 8 union all select 9 union all
    select 0) N3
cross join (
    select 1 as N union all select 2 union all select 3 union all
    select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6 union all
    select 7 union all select 8 union all select 9 union all
    select 0) N4
where N1.N * 1000 + N2.N * 100 + N3.N * 10 + N4.N in (1,2,3)
    and not exists (
        select * from customer c where c.customerid = v.number + v2.number*1000)

Expand the subqueries as required to cover your full number range.
If you could create tables (or had one handy), create a "numbers" table instead with the digits 0 to 9 (10 records), and keep joining to itself, i.e.
create table Numbers (N int)
insert into Numbers
select 1 union all select 2 union all select 3 union all
select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6 union all
select 7 union all select 8 union all select 9 union all
select 0

select N1.N * 1000 + N2.N * 100 + N3.N * 10 + N4.N as NonExistentCustomerID
from numbers N1
cross join numbers N2
cross join numbers N3
cross join numbers N4
where N1.N * 1000 + N2.N * 100 + N3.N * 10 + N4.N in (1,2,3)
    and not exists (
        select * from customer c where c.customerid = v.number + v2.number*1000)

A numbers table is always useful for various queries.
For reference for SQL Server, assuming the numbers are within the range 0-2047, you can use
select v.number
from master..spt_values v
left join customer c on c.customerid = v.number
where v.type='P' and v.number in (1,2,3)
  and v.customerid is null

If you need a larger range, keep joining to master..spt_values again to get a larger range
select v.number + v2.number*1000 as NonExistentCustomerID
from master..spt_values v
inner join master..spt_values v2 on v2.type='P'
where v.type='P' and v.number + v2.number*1000 in (1,2,3)
  and v.number between 0 and 999
  and not exists (
    select * from customer c where c.customerid = v.number + v2.number*1000)
order by 1

A: select customerId
  from customer
EXCEPT
select customerId
  from customer
 where customerId in (
          1, 2, 3
       )

A: One easy way is to use a tally table, let's say it's called numbers with column number - of all numbers (this code may not be the best, but it should be clear what the intent is):
select number
from numbers
where number in (1, 2, 3)
and number NOT IN (select customerId from customer)

Another possibility is to write the ids you are looking for into an actual table or table variable.
