I like it and the ability to copy the metadata is something that we are often asked for. It is also good the way you can change settings if you receive errors.
My one concern is that it is a little expensive. If it was half hte price I think many companies would jump at it.
This tool fulfills a very critical need that is not provided out of the box by MOSS 2007 or WSS 3.0. I will strongly recommend this tool to all my clients.
Keep up the great work! Cheers.
1.Successfully copies or moves Documents or Items from Document Libraries or Custom Lists and preserves the original metadata (Created By/Date, Modified By/Date).
2. It is very simple to install and use.
3. Very prompt and professional support provided.
I downloaded and installed the trial version. When I click Move or Copy and any of the files or folders, I get this error.
Restructuring data is now possible without loosing version history or metadata! I was stunned when I realised that OOB ShP couldn't handle these types of move operations, I was equally surprised and happy when I found this program as a working solution!
- Retains metadata and version history unaffected for documents during move between document libraries, within or between sites!
- Enables move of list items (not possible in OOB ShP).
- Warning message with abort option if metadatainformation will be lost. Makes it possible to correct settings or add missing columns or site content types in the target document library.
- A powerful tool can as always be missused by endusers, howeverthe alternative of letting users handle the copy and move operations through the explorer window instead is by far worse.
We are actually using the Copy/Move Solution from SharePoint Products in our own solution as it's a proven and tested product, and it made no sense to go and develop it all ourselves.
SharePoint Products has proven to be a very reliable partner and offers great support.
CopyMove from SharePoint Products enables our end users to copy and move items from one document library (or folder) to another. This was a feature that our organisation had been asking for ever since we introduced SPS-2003 (long time ago). In order to use SharePoint as a document management system copy and move functionality that preserves version history is very important and this product solved our need.
The product is very easy to install with no manually tasks. In addition it has great customization possibilities. E.g. one can set item or size limits to a copy/move operation which enable the system administrators to control that performance is not impacted. The product also has a webservice that exposes the functionality which can be utilized by other business applications.
* Copy and Move functionality that preserves version history and keeps metadata intact.
- WAW! It has got realy easy for users to copy and move their documents, images etc. with this tool (a thing missing in std. sharePoint).
Can highly recommend this tool.
- Very nice to see that the tool preserves version history as well as other properties.
- The installation went very smooth - took only a few minutes and nothing needed to be configured afterwards.

(3) A Winter Residence under the Canton System
Great Frontier Shift
Canton System
The British
Winter Residence
Emperor Kangxi (康熙) of the Qing dynasty (清朝) lifted the maritime trade ban and opened four ports to foreign trade in 1684. Customs was set up for administrative purposes, one of which was the Canton Customs. The Canton Customs established a customs service branch and four levy halls in Macao (Macau) responsible for collecting tariffs, examining foreign vessels, and issuing entry clearances.
The Qing court continued to refine its foreign trade policies in the 18th century as Western powers including Britain, France, Sweden, and the United States were eager to trade with China. The Qing court designated Guangzhou (廣州) as the only port for foreign commerce in 1757. The court also forbade foreign merchants from staying in China outside the trading season, which lasted from April to September. The merchants could, however, reside in Macao in the other months if they chose not to return to their home countries. Macao thus became a winter residence for them. Such an arrangement turned Macao into Guangzhou's outer port and the only Chinese city that allowed long-term residence of foreign merchants.
Attracted by Macao's significance in trading with China, the British tried to occupy it, but was deterred by the Qing's strong stance. Under its prosperity, though, Macao became a secret warehouse for opium brought by foreign merchants, planting the seed of the First Opium War.
How did Macao become a winter residence under the Canton system?
A portrait of Shang Kexi (尚可喜), the Prince of Pingnan (平南王), by the Dutch envoy Joan Nieuhof.
To contain the Taiwan-based (台灣) Zheng clan (鄭氏) regime which hoped to restore the Ming dynasty (明朝), the Qing court issued the Great Frontier Shift in 1661. The Chinese who lived outside Macao were ordered to move inland, and Portuguese in town were ordered to move inland or leave China. The Great Frontier Shift was not implemented in Macao, but Shang Kexi and Lu Xingzu (盧興祖), the Viceroy of Guangdong (廣東總督) extorted a large amount of silver from the Portuguese in the name of the edict.
Although Macao's maritime trade was interrupted, Guangdong officials privately sent merchant ships there for trading, but were later exposed. In 1667, Emperor Kangxi (康熙) took over the reign and ordered an investigation over Guangdong official's illicit commercial activities and a replanning of Macao. Upon hearing the news, Lu committed suicide, while others involved in the misconduct were removed from their posts. In the end, the emperor exempted Macao from the Great Frontier Shift and kept its land trade routes with mainland China. This arrangement lasted until 1684 when the Qing court lifted the maritime ban.
According to Aomen Jilüe (A Brief on Macao, 《澳門記略》) compiled by Yin Guangren (印光任) and Zhang Rulin (張汝霖) in the Qing dynasty, the customs service branch in Macao sat near what is now the Rua dos Ervanários.
The four levy halls under the Macao customs service branch are also mentioned in the book. They sat near Rua do Teatro, A-Ma Temple, Praia Grande Bay, and the Border Gate (Portas do Cerco) .
The Macao customs service branch was established in 1688. Being one of the seven major branches of the Canton Customs, it dealt with foreign trade affairs and had four levy halls affiliated to it. The levy hall in Rua do Teatro dealt with the levies on domestic and foreign merchants. The one in Praia Grande Bay was responsible for the inspection of foreigners and vessels entering Macao. The one near A-Ma Temple supervised Chinese merchants in Macao and fishing boats to prevent levy evasion. The one at the Border Gate collected levies on overland trade.

After a British assault in 1808, the Viceroy of Liang-Guang (兩廣總督) Bailing (百齡) reinforced Macao's defence, including the military bases in Mong-Há and the Border Gate. The Mong-Há garrison was near Sin Fong Temple, where the shrine for the Lord of the Soil and the Ground in the garrison stands as a testimony to this history.
In early 19th century, the British sought to make Macao its springboard for market expansion in China. In 1802, British fleets reached the shore of Macao, but the Portuguese refused to let them land and turned to the Qing court for help. In the end, the British retreated.
However, Britain did not give up on Macao. In 1808, the Napoleonic Wars gave the British an excuse to enter Macao, claiming that they would protect Macao from a French invasion. 300 British soldiers came to Macao (the number later rose to 800) and promised to side with the Portuguese in defending Macao. As the British soldiers occupied Macao, Chinese officials started to reinforce their garrisons in the neighbouring areas. Upon hearing about the British landing, Emperor Jiaqing (嘉慶) cut food supply to Macao and sent troops to repulse the British. After nearly three months of conflicts, British soldiers withdrew from Macao. The Viceroy of Liang-Guang Bailing then tightened regulations over trade in Macao and Guangzhou in 1809.
Over time, Guangzhou built a comprehensive system for the management of trade and foreigners in Macao. Chinese officials dispatched to Macao would promptly handle any disputes involving foreigners or hand over the matter to the Portuguese council. The Qing court also set up an administration to deal with the entry clearance and levies regarding foreign merchant ships. Apart from its ideal location, Macao was made a formal residence for foreigners outside the trading season for administrative purposes.

Combative hearing days before George Zimmerman's trial
(CNN) -- A combative hearing four days before the start of George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial saw attorneys spar over three key issues that may be critical to his defense. It didn't go well for the former neighborhood watch captain or his legal team.
Zimmerman is charged in the Sanford, Florida, shooting death of Trayvon Martin on the night of February 26, 2012. He says he shot the 17-year-old in self-defense.
The shooting put a national spotlight on Zimmerman's hometown of Sanford, and sparked fresh debates about race relations and gun laws. The initial decision not to bring charges against Zimmerman led to the dismissal of the town's police chief and the appointment of a special prosecutor, who accused the homeowner of unjustly profiling and killing Martin.
Judge Debra Nelson denied the defense's first motion of the day, which requested the court protect the identities of three witnesses who wanted to remain anonymous.
"They're concerned they could be subject to ridicule or retribution," said defense lead attorney Mark O'Mara, trying to defend his motion. "They are very concerned, and may have to move out of their residence."
O'Mara said the three witnesses' testimony "will have impact on the jury's decision," noting they do not want to be involved in the case.
The second issue was whether the prosecution violated the rules of discovery by not submitting possibly damaging evidence found on Trayvon Martin's cell phone to the defense. A technology expert from the state attorney's office testified he found more than a thousand deleted photos on Martin's phone that were not included in the prosecution's original report. Those photos included pictures of naked women, marijuana and a hand holding a gun.
The technology expert said one deleted text also "looks like they were selling a gun."
O'Mara alleged that lead prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda lied when he said during a previous hearing that all information from the phone had been submitted. De la Rionda denied that claim and said the defense was invited to be present when the phone was being examined and processed.
The back-and-forth between the attorneys produced the day's most heated exchange, when defense attorney Don West became agitated while testifying and raised his voice, telling de la Rionda that "we caught you hiding the information!"
Nelson apparently was also agitated and cut O'Mara off as he was calling de la Rionda to the stand. She ruled at that time that the court will handle the discovery violation hearing after the trial, dealing another setback to the defense.
The court then moved to perhaps the hearing's most critical issue, regarding whether the technology used to analyze the voices on the 911 calls from the night of the shooting will be admissible. The technology may be key to the prosecution's case because their experts' testimony may be able to shed light on what was said between Zimmerman and Martin moments before the teenager was shot.
The law states that for technology to be admissible, it must be "generally accepted" in that particular field. Court documents indicate Zimmerman's attorneys will likely argue that the voice analysis technology does not meet the threshold of "generally accepted."
Defense expert Dr. Hirotaka Nakasone, an audio engineer for the FBI, expressed his doubts about using the recordings during his testimony. "A screaming voice is too far for us to address," said Nakasone. "It might mislead in the worst case."
In a statement released Thursday by Martin family attorney Ben Crump, Trayvon's family said,"It is ridiculous for the Zimmerman defense team to argue that expert voice analysts should not be permitted to testify at the trial. ... Expert voice analysis is necessary to assist in identifying the voices on the 911 tape."
However, court recessed for the day with Nakasone still on the stand. The crucial audio issue remains unresolved and will be addressed when the hearing continues Friday morning.
At that time, it is also possible the court will hear another key defense motion, on whether to ban the use of certain words and phrases in describing their client. Those words, which they fear may influence jurors, include "racist" and "vigilante."

Centres of vocational excellence on the horizon
The great inventor Thomas Edison once said that opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like hard work.
BY GILLIAN DUDGEON, DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE, DELIVERY DIRECTORATE, TERTIARY EDUCATION COMMISSION
The construction sector in New Zealand, made up of 250,000 workers, is an industry where it is wonderful to see workers ready and willing to roll up their sleeves and embrace new challenges and opportunities.
Our country and our economy benefit significantly from the industry's admirable work ethic.
In light of big technology changes on the horizon and the shortfall of 80,000 new construction workers expected over the next five years, we need to ensure that the construction landscape is ready and resilient for what today and tomorrow bring.
Education is a crucial part of a strong industry and this is why the Reform of Vocational Education is underway; the biggest change to vocational education in 25 years.
During extensive engagement and consultation this year, New Zealanders told us they agree that we need a strong, unified and sustainable vocational education system fit for the future of work and capable of delivering the skills learners, employers and communities need to thrive.
An important part of the reform is the Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs).
A CoVE is a consortium of industry groups, subject matter experts, researchers and regional representatives from across a sector who collaborate to support the growth of excellent vocational education provision and sharing of high-quality curriculum and programme design across the vocational education system.
In August 2019, Education Minister Chris Hipkins announced the first two pilot CoVEs – primary and construction.
The Government will set the general parameters for these CoVEs while the specific design, functions and detailed subject matter will be determined by members of the successful consortia who will be chosen through a selection process starting with a Registration of Interest (RoI).
Consortium applications will be assessed by an independent evaluation panel made up of industry experts in the relevant sectors.
The panel will provide recommendations to the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) Board who make the funding decisions.
The intent is that successful applicants will be selected and have funding agreements in place for CoVEs to commence establishment from mid-2020.
There is $2.5 million of funding available per year, for up to five years, for each of the first two pilot CoVEs.
While funding is for a defined period, it's expected CoVEs will be an enduring part of the vocational education system.
Each CoVE will include one of the new Workforce Development Councils; four to seven industry-governed bodies that will take a skills leadership role working with both the industry and providers to ensure the right type of qualifications and programmes are in place.
A series of thought-provoking workshops and webinars were recently held to discuss the potential scope and functions of CoVEs.
Approximately 170 stakeholders from the primary and construction sectors were involved, including representatives from industry groups, peak bodies, iwi, institutes of technology and polytechnics, Industry Training Organisations, wānanga, private training establishments, schools and universities, employers, unions, the institute's establishment board, and government agencies.
A summary of findings and new Q&As from the workshops and webinars are now live on the TEC website. If you are interested in the RoI process, visit their website.

This is an awesome example of 25 best 3D modelling applications for completely free of cost that we are presenting you. However, to give you the clear concept, you need to know, what is 3D modelling and how it has been used.
In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the procedure of developing a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional surface of an object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software. The product is called a 3D model. Theoretically, 3 Dimensions refers to substance that are constructed on three plans (X, Y and Z). The process of making 3D graphics can be divided into three basic phases: 3D modeling, 3D animation and 3D rendering.
The 3D modeling is used in a variety of industries like films, animation and gaming, interior designing and architecture. They are also used in the medical industry for the interactive representations of anatomy. A wide number of 3D software is also used in constructing digital representation of mechanical models or parts before they are actually manufactured.CAD/CAM related software are used in such fields, and with these software, not only can you construct the parts, but also assemble them, and observe their functionality. 3D modelling is also used in the field of Industrial Design, wherein products are 3D modeled before representing them to the clients. In Media and Event industries, 3D modelling is used in Stage/Set Design.

Saints Victory Freebies are BACK and BETTER THAN EVER!
It's been a long six months waiting for the return of NFL football! Last season, I offered a freebie for each Saints victory. There were definitely some bumps in the road, but I decided to do the victory freebies again. Then, I decided to make them even MORE exciting!
So, I've teamed up with some fellow TpT sellers to offer you even MORE freebies! That's right!
Every time the Saints win, I'll still post a freebie from me. It might be a flash freebie for a paid item, it might be an exclusive freebie not offered on TpT, or it might be a brand new TpT freebie.
In addition to my own freebie, I'll bring you TWO MORE exclusive freebies from other TpT sellers! That's right!
But to catch each of these freebies, you'll need to watch my blog and Facebook page carefully and look for the posts within an hour of each Saints victory.
1. Follow my Facebook page, I'm Lovin' Lit.
3. That's it! Now you'll be notified via Facebook when I post Victory Freebies.
Something I learned from doing this last season is that there definitely needs to be some rules and regulations in place. I don't want anyone to get their feelings hurt if they miss a freebie, but I also want to be fair to the integrity of the game. So, here's the nitty gritty.
1. Victory Freebies will be posted within an hour of each Saints victory. They will be available for a limited time only. The window of availability for the freebie can range from 1 hour to 24 hours.
2. You must be present to win. If you miss it, you miss it. Freebies are offered on a one-time only basis, no exceptions.
3. If you don't watch football, don't own a television, or have a similar debilitating situation, I suggest downloading the Saints season schedule at http://www.neworleanssaints.com. Games last approximately 3 1/2 hours.
4. If you'd like to receive Facebook notifications when Victory Freebies are posted, follow the instructions in purple print found earlier in this post.
5. Please do not distribute or post online any freebie obtained without permission from the teacher-author. Handing a copy to the teacher next door? Fine. Posting it in a Facebook group or other social media based group for sharing products? Not permitted. We reserve the right to refuse freebies to participants. Please play fair.
6. If you don't like the New Orleans Saints, then you are not eligible to participate. Bandwagon fans are welcome! Preferring one's own home team over the Saints is perfectly legal. Proud and/or loud fans of the Atlanta Falcons or the Carolina Panthers will be shamed.
I love combining my love of football with showing appreciation for customers and followers. I hope to be posting a victory freebie SOON!
And check back tomorrow for Part 2 of my September 11th lesson walkthrough!
So excited! I was thinking about stealing your idea for the Bears games to force myself to make some more TPT products. Would that be a crime??
Hi Erin, what a cute idea! Drew's family lives right around the corner from us! And, as a Louisiana girl, I love the Saints.
Who Dat! Ready for the game and your freebies! I live in Mandeville and it has been a LONG off season! 🙂 Thank you!!!
OMG, I DIED laughing when I read rule #6! I love that you're a fellow Saints fan, and these victory freebies are such an awesome idea! Rooting for another great season. Geaux Saints!
Love this! Can't wait for those victories to start rolling in!
I snort-laughed at rule number 6! I am LIVID that our Saints lost to the Dirty Birds this week…I hope the tables are turned when we have Dome field advantage at our next matchup! I can't wait to see a Who Dat victory!

The above quote is from Jes Sanders, a Charlotte-area architect. Through his company, Studio S Architecture, he has been designing homes and commercial buildings for two decades. In his profession, he enjoys working with customers to help them realize their dream spaces. While that is a rich, rewarding experience for him, sometimes the pull of performing hands-on labor wins out over time at a desk, behind a computer.
Big ideas can lead to tiny spaces.
If you're a regular viewer of shows on HGTV, you know that the trend of "little houses" is really taking off. So-called "drastic downsizers" cite many reasons for going small, including increased mobility, lower taxes, decreased maintenance costs and, of course, initial price. In fact, by some estimates, 68 percent of tiny house dwellers have no mortgage. While there are many "pros," such a drastic change is a little too extreme for some.
Following in that vein, Jes Sanders has found a way to combine his love of Modernism, his passion for "building it himself" and the popular call for smaller spaces. Call it a "happy tiny," as opposed to a happy medium.
Painted oversized cementitious siding all around.
While the standard size of Sanders' creative cubes is 10′ x 12′, he says that building customized structures is definitely an option.
To achieve that goal, Sanders relied on Patterson Pope to introduce him to the half-inch-thick tempered sliding glass modular wall from KI. Using this glass wall for the entire front of the unit created an open feel that invited in natural light. Patterson Pope also helped outfit the initial tiny office with modular casework, which helped make it an ideal workspace.
Sanders points out that some have noted the similarity between the tiny office's profile and two shapes from popular culture – one local and one intergalactic. Locally, the shape is reminiscent of a 1950s-era sign above a shopping center not far from Sanders' home. The other comparison? Well, it's not entirely dissimilar to a sand crawler – the large vehicle used by the Jawas in the movie "Star Wars" to transport droids. "Maybe that's my creative subconscious at work," says Saunders. Hmm. Inspiration from a long time ago – right across the street and in a galaxy far, far away.
Clearly, the freedom to imagine, and to create, is what continues to drive Sanders to express himself and innovate. I'm already envisioning how incorporating a tiny office to my back yard might inspire literary genius.
The world is changing. Like everything else, design and architecture evolve. The various instruments used to give physicality to great ideas are all around us. Combing through what's available and combining them in new and unique ways can give rise to astounding achievements.

ABC Companies to Accelerate the Deployment of WAVE Wireless Charging Solutions
Ideanomics announce ABC Companies, is to become a certified reseller of WAVE's industry-leading wireless inductive charging technology.
Ideanomics, today announced an agreement with ABC Companies, to become a certified reseller of WAVE's industry-leading wireless inductive charging technology in North America. The resale partnership expands WAVE's distribution across North America and into private charter fleets.
"Our WAVE wireless charging technology is a proven solution that solves a major concern we're hearing from fleet operators about going electric–what happens when I run out of charge?" said Robin Mackie, president of Ideanomics Mobility. "With our wireless charging technology, fleet operators can cut the cord, keep their electric fleet running, and stop worrying about vehicle downtime for charging at centralized depots."
ABC Companies and WAVE, a subsidiary of Ideanomics, executed this agreement. This collaboration builds on the successful deployment of the WAVE charging system to select ABC customers. With systems ranging from 125kW to 500kW and a 1MW charger in development, WAVE wireless charging unleashed the full potential of EV fleets by maximizing operational efficiency and reducing the total cost of ownership.
At the heart of WAVE's wireless charging solution is a proprietary ruggedized and fully automated charging pad. High power is delivered over the air from the roadway-embedded charging pads to receivers mounted on a vehicle's undercarriage. Charging begins as soon as the vehicle aligns on top of the in-ground pad. The WAVE system is easy to operate and maintain, with no moving parts or overhead charging infrastructure. As an added benefit, WAVE wireless charging is one of the most reliable ways to charge electric vehicles. It requires no incremental labor for manual operations and zero handling of high-power cables.
As private charter fleets look to electrify, the demand for reliable, safe and proven wireless charging infrastructure is becoming even more imperative. By strategically placing wireless charging pads at routine stops, private charter fleet operators can keep their vehicles running with a nearly full charge during the entirety of their duty cycle.
ABC Companies is a well-known leader in motorcoach, transit and specialty equipment sales and service, in addition to being the exclusive U.S. and Canadian distributor of Van Hool motorcoaches. As a market leader in the private charter space, this partnership provides a direct pathway for WAVE to expand into a new vertical—private charter fleets. Through this strategic partnership, ABC will be uniquely positioned to meet growing demand from its customers for electrification and other fleet management solutions.
"As we continue to expand our portfolio of OEM aftermarket products and services, we need to deliver industry leading charging solutions," said Roman Cornell, president and chief commercial officer-ABC Companies. "WAVE is an ideal fit for many types of fleets and this partnership will enhance our offerings for our current and future customers. Beginning in 2020, we began delivering fully electric motorcoaches, and now offer zero emissions options from 8 to 75 passengers. The expanding electric vehicle portfolio has greatly increased the number of customers choosing sustainable solutions. Now that we are expanding our charging options, we are helping the transportation industry transition to electric."
Ideanomics is solving the complexity of fleet electrification by bringing together high-performance electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and financing solutions under one roof. The company views WAVE wireless charging as a flagship charging technology and is committed to supporting its ongoing development and deployment. This includes exploring opportunities to incorporate wireless charging technology into the design of the company's next generation of electric vehicles.

Emily Morganti — November 3, 2008
The day I first heard about Time Hollow was like Christmas. No, better than Christmas. It was like hearing the reindeer on the roof and Santa ho-ho-hoing down the chimney and suddenly realizing that Christmas has somehow snuck up on you, and you're about to get a whole bunch of unexpected loot.
A little background, lest you think I'm some kind of weirdo who can't keep track of major holidays: Shadow of Destiny is one of my favorite games of all time. I played it on PC about five years ago, and then played it again... and again... and again. This was partly due to the game's multiple endings, which are just begging for replay, and partly due to the fact that it had practically everything I look for in a game. A great story with several layers that you have to peel away to get at the core of what's going on. A main character whose emotions became real to me as I followed him on his bizarre, and yet relatable, time travel journey. Several "a-ha!" moments as the puzzle pieces fell into place. And best of all, deliciously tantalizing unanswered questions that left me thinking about the game long after I finished it. (And, ultimately, that prompted me to play it again... and again... and again...)
When I found out that Junko Kawano, the designer of Shadow of Destiny, had designed another time travel adventure, this time for the DS (my platform of choice these days), I put in a preorder for Time Hollow immediately. And what a wonderful gaming experience it turned out to be. I devoured Time Hollow over the course of three evenings, with a manic replay that took up an entire Saturday. While it didn't turn out to be as good a game as Shadow of Destiny, I don't regret the impulse buy or the short playtime in the least. My experience playing Time Hollow was the most engrossing, couldn't-put-it-down DS gaming experience I've had in the three years I've owned a DS. For a handheld that's easy to put down at the smallest flicker of boredom -- and as a person who tends to get bored incredibly quickly -- that's saying a whole lot.

In Time Hollow, you play as Ethan Kairos, an ordinary student who wakes from a nightmare on the morning of his 17th birthday to find himself in an extraordinary situation. He learns that his parents, with whom he believes he has been living his whole life, have actually been missing since he was five years old. This contradicts Ethan's own memories, as well as the player's, since we got to see and interact with Ethan's parents during the game's prologue, set the night before his birthday. So what's changed? How is it possible that, overnight, the last twelve years of Timothy and Pamela Kairos' existence have been erased?
"What's changed?" turns out to be a central question in Time Hollow, a game that follows the development of Ethan's supernatural ability to open "holes" in the present and reach through them to alter the past. He does this using a Hollow Pen delivered to him by his cat, Sox, the morning he finds his parents missing. Ethan can't alter past events to save his parents until he understands what happened to them twelve years ago, so he sets out to unravel the mystery of their disappearance, all the while dealing with the unintended results his tinkering has on the present.
The plot grows to encompass Ethan's uncle and now-guardian Derek, a rough-around-the-edges freelance writer who doesn't always show how deeply he cares about his nephew, and a girl named Kori who inexplicably shows up in Ethan's class around the same time the strange events start happening. As the story unfolds, Ethan learns he is not the only person in possession of a Hollow Pen, and his priorities shift into a race against time to protect his friends, his family, and ultimately his own existence from the wrath of an embittered, dangerous foe.
One of my favorite aspects of Time Hollow is how much I came to care about the main character and his situation. While Ethan works to rectify the past and find his parents, he unwittingly gets his friends, his uncle, and a few total strangers involved in unpleasant alternate versions of reality. Each time he fiddles with the past, Ethan must ask himself, "What's changed?" and go around town, speaking to people and making observations, to discover how his actions have affected the people he cares about. Sometimes the unintended results are for the better, but Ethan does have to ask himself moral questions about the consequences of his actions. Since the game is extremely linear, the player is not faced with these moral questions (at least, not from a position of being able to do anything about them), but experiencing Ethan's struggle to accept that he can't avoid changing one person's life to save someone else's helps define him as a character and makes him worth caring about. Realistic character emotion can be difficult to achieve and it's a rare game that gets it right. Shadow of Destiny was one of them; Time Hollow is another.
Time Hollow was designed specifically for the DS, with graphics and cinematics that span both screens and an interface that makes good use of the touch screen. The anime artwork is less stylized than Phoenix Wright, and as a result Time Hollow feels less like a cartoon and more like a drama, which is appropriate for the storyline. Although the gameplay is in first-person perspective, Ethan is often shown on-screen during conversations and cutscenes, which makes him easy for the player to identify with.
The bottom screen displays environments that can be explored. If interaction is possible, tapping the stylus causes one of several icons to display (i.e. a finger to inspect the area, a talk bubble if you can speak to another character, or a walking stick figure if you can travel). When this icon appears, you can tap a second time (or press A) to follow through with the interaction. It's possible to scroll environments from side to side with either the +Control pad or by dragging with the stylus. Most locations are not much wider than what initially appears on the screen, but sometimes you'll find a person or area of interest off to the side.
The map is also available on the touch screen, with seven key locations that you can usually visit, as well as some additional locations that show up and disappear depending on what's happening in the story. For the majority of the game, you can return to the map and go to a new location whenever you feel like it. Although Time Hollow's storyline is very linear, a fair amount of alternate dialogue and interaction can be uncovered by checking out every available area on the map whenever the story advances. The first time through, you'll probably want to focus on the main storyline, but this freedom and incidental content beefs up a replay.
Conversations are depicted on the top screen, with character art and text. A few of the key cutscenes have voiceover in addition to subtitles, which underscores the game's high production values and enhances the drama of those moments. Although the majority of Time Hollow is not voice acted, the lines that are spoken are well acted. Speaking to characters is usually a simple back-and-forth affair without much player control over the conversation topics, but occasionally a list of options to choose from are displayed on the touch screen. Dialogue sometimes repeats and there's no clear indication if speaking to someone will result in new dialogue or something you've already seen, but you can easily skip through this.
Time Hollow's main strength is a compelling story that makes you want to keep playing to find out what will happen next. Too few adventure games these days have the sense of urgency and building tension that Time Hollow has, and as someone who cherishes a good story above all else, in my opinion this is the game's crowning achievement. The gameplay is less impressive -- or maybe I should say "less present," since there isn't that much gameplay to speak of. Even when you're figuring out what happened and what needs to be changed, Time Hollow really leads the player by the hand. For me, this wasn't a big deal, particularly since I was being led through such an interesting story and the gameplay that does exist is well-integrated into the plot, but it will likely be a sticking point for some players.
Much of the gameplay involves "digging" with the Hollow Pen, a clever (if not very subtle) metaphor for the stylus. When you reach a point in the game that a hole can be opened, you simply draw a circle in the area you want to manipulate in the past. The world outside of that hole is "frozen" and black and white; only the small space inside the hole is in color and can be interacted with during these segments. Each time you dig a hole, Ethan's "time meter" is depleted, with the possibility of running out of time and ending up in a game over situation if you mess up too much while digging. That being said, in most cases it's obvious what you need to do when you open a hole, and even when I wasn't completely sure, I figured it out after a couple of tries. Ethan's cat Sox helpfully roams the streets collecting glowing discs that replenish the time meter, so actually meeting a premature end to the game seems very unlikely.
Digging in the past seems like it would be ripe with puzzle possibilities, with Ethan tweaking past events to affect the future, but unfortunately when it comes to the locations where you can open holes and points when you are allowed to do so, the game is unflinchingly rigid. Each time the past has changed, Ethan has a series of flashbacks, which he must dissect by talking to people, researching past events, and piecing together what happened. Once Ethan completely understands a flashback, he can open a hole in the location where the flashback occurred and reach into the past to try to change what happened. At least, this is how "digging" is initially described, but it turns out to be restricted even further by the fact that Ethan can only open a hole when the Hollow Pen glows (in other words, when the game wants you to). Supposedly this is because you need to gather enough clues about the past and what needs to be changed before the pen will glow, but considering some of the time travel nuances the story wants us to believe, this restriction feels like an excuse to simplify the game design. I know games need to have some structure, but it would have been nice to at least feel like I had more control over what Ethan could do.
There are a few situations early in the game where puzzles can be solved in multiple ways, but other than inconsequential changes in the present, the alternate solutions do not have any significant bearing on the story. In other situations where it seemed like alternate solutions should be possible, the game stubbornly refused to let me try. (For example, I wanted to prevent a character's death by showing him an article about his impending murder, but Ethan kept asking, "Why would I show him that?" Come on, kid, haven't you seen Back to the Future?!) Of course, no game can have infinite possibilities, but considering its premise, Time Hollow would have been meatier if it were a bit more flexible -- something Shadow of Destiny did well.
The game is split up into a prologue, six chapters, and an epilogue. It only offers one save slot that is overwritten whenever you save, but progress is also stored when you complete a chapter, so you can forego your saved game and replay from the beginning of a chapter if you choose to. Unlike its predecessor, Time Hollow does not have multiple endings, although a very short, alternate version of the prologue can be unlocked after you've played through once, tying up a few of the story's loose ends.
Rather than one musical theme per environment, which is the norm in most games, Time Hollow has a few different themes that reflect what's happening in the plot. This sometimes becomes repetitive (particularly the droning "tense" theme that plays for much of the middle part of the game), but overall the music contributes well to the mood of the game. Time Hollow also has a pretty theme song that accompanies an animated opening movie at the beginning of the game, and plays in an extended version during the credits. I liked the song and felt its inclusion contributed to Time Hollow's high production values, but did get annoyed with it upon reaching the end of the game when, in the span of a few minutes, I had to hear the song three times between the initial ending and the alternate finale. Although it's possible to skip through practically any other scene in the game, doing so during the theme song is not possible. It's really a miniscule gripe; I'd just hate to think someone might turn off the game mid-credits and miss the last little sliver of story.
Time Hollow was first released in Japan, and the text seems to be fairly well translated. I didn't notice any spelling mistakes or weird grammar. One complaint I do have, which may or may not be directly related to the translation, is that the story has some convoluted plot points that seemed to make perfect logical sense to the characters, but made absolutely no sense to me, even on my second playthrough. Time travel stories often have leaps in logic, so this could be a problem in the original Japanese as well, but after experiencing the same types of "huh?" moments in the Final Fantasy games, I'm willing to bet something's getting lost in translation. Whatever the root cause, the story is solid on the whole, and these few foggy moments didn't detract from my overall enjoyment.
My only real complaint about Time Hollow is that I wish it had lasted longer. In a way that's a compliment, because I was enjoying the story so much that I didn't want it to end. I spent about twelve hours playing the game -- that's with one playthrough immediately followed by a second to look for alternate puzzle solutions. Worth $30? Maybe not if the "heavy on story, light on gameplay" formula is of concern to you, but for me the answer is a resounding yes. In fact, even having exhausted all of the gameplay possibilities, I'll probably play it again someday...

&f=&&fvar&a.";
Firstly, how can I mask the &s= &f= from the processor, but allow it still resolve the &svar macro variables? I have tried various attempts at using %superq and %nrbquote but not had much luck.
Also, is there a way to a mask the warning about the string being long other than using log errors to suppress all options? Ideally I don't want to do that as I would still like to see any new errors that may arise for whatever reason.
Thanks

A: To turn off the warning about string being too long, use system option NOQUOTELENMAX.
To mask an & that you can see, try %NRSTR(), e.g. %NRSTR(&f).

A: To "mask" the ampersand so it is not scanned by the macro processor, just use the %STR function.  I don't see any reference to an &s variable in the code you show, but I do see one from&f.  Change that last parameter to:
%str(&)f=&&fvar&a.

Also, to assist debugging things like this, I strongly suggest that you build the entire string into it's own macro variable (perhaps named url).  In other words:
%let url="http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?%str(&)s=//svars// %str(&)f=&&fvar&a.";
%put url=&url;
filename loader url "&url";

I'm guessing that the s= was &s= in the code that had the error and I substituted your long parameter string with //svars// only to save formatting in this answer.
Using a "helper macro variable" like this should help during development.  The %put just echos the string during testing and would not be part of the final macro.

Salvatierra es una novela de Pedro Mairal, publicada en 2008. Fue publicada en 2021 en la editorial Libros del Asteroide.

Resumen
A los nueve años, Juan Salvatierra perdió el habla tras una caída del caballo. Era 1918 y el mundo se transformó para él por completo. Cuando hubo crecido y pasado la adolescencia, Salvatierra comenzó a pintar en secreto. Primero pintó páginas y páginas de dibujos. Más tarde ideó pintar la vida en larguísimos rollos de tela, rollos que registraban de manera precisa la realidad de un pueblo del litoral. Cada semana pintaba cinco o seis metros de tela. A veces pintaba menos, dos o tres metros; a veces, uno; pero no había semana en la que Salvatierra no imprimiera la fecha y su firma al final de su trabajo. Cuando Salvatierra murió, sus hijos viajaron desde Buenos Aires para hacerse cargo de la herencia.

Intrigado por la monumental obra creada por su padre, el hijo menor, Miguel, se dispuso a conocerla y estudiarla. Junto con las telas, enrolladas por años, desentrañó una serie de intrigas y secretos familiares desconocidos para él, historias que se hundían en el pasado y proyectaban sus sombras sobre el presente. Como la muerte de su hija Estela, en 1959, a la edad de 12 años, que sumió a la familia en días de incertidumbre y dolor.

Salvatierra parecía haberlo pintado todo. Profuso como la flora y la fauna que pueblan la ribera, sus cuadros se imponen sobre la realidad y la desbordan. Solamente falta un rollo para completar el inmenso cuadro pintado por Salvatierra y Miguel siente la imperiosa necesidad de encontrarlo para que el cuadro tenga sentido, para que tenga un borde, un límite y la historia no caiga en el infinito.

Miguel Salvatierra, ahora convertido en protagonista de la novela, emprenderá una auténtica aventura que lo llevará a descubrir algo nuevo sobre su padre y algo impensable sobre sí mismo.

Rather than this, which is a lie: "I feel angry because you ...."
The real truth is "I let my anger come out when I tell myself the story that you should..."
"I want to be a big baby and have you all to myself."
and I want to be ignored and let alone when I want time to myself."

I.e. To speak the humorous truth of my own self centered nonsense.
To speak the truth of my lies, any lie that demands another be under my control.
13. I vow to live an awakened life.
And I vow to create conditions for you to live an awakened life.
As much as you wish.
This does NOT mean lectures, advice, programs. It means listening. Being curious. Searching for an awareness of the unique brilliance of your being alive, right now.
As I can vow to connect with the unique brilliance of my being alive, right now.
1. I vow to be present and authentic in and apart from our relationship.
Authentic means true to my feelings, wishes, goals and moment by moment inclinations.
It does not demand of you to match, join, or even approve of my authentic self.
And most especially, authentic does not include the cowardly "honesty" of complaining about what's going on in me and blaming that on you.
2. I vow to have zero tolerance for any complaining about you from me. I.e. not to do it.
"I feel angry." Period. No "because you..."
"I feel sad." Period. No "because you..."
4. I vow to take total responsibility for all the "because-s" after any feelings I have.

d. a cowardly attempt/ habit to blame others outside for what I feel inside.
5. I vow to do the Work ( the Work of Byron Katie, TheWork.com) on any and all of my stories.
6. I vow to commit myself to your happiness, to your achieving your life goals and wishes, to your need for space, time and respect.
7. I vow to listen when you wish to communicate. Fully. In the present. No interrupting. No interpreting.
8. I vow not to interpret any of your behavior, thinking or feeling, unless you are doing some inner work and ASK for this.
9. These are my vows.
You can join them or not. I invite you to, and that's your business.
I you join them, I vow not to nag, scold, or even point out when you "fail" to meet them.
10. On the other hand, I vow to listen to your observations about when and how I have missed the mark on keeping them.
11. I vow to make requests, not demands. Which means I vow to honor and even enjoy any and all "no's" to my requests, as what they are: you exercising your right and joy to be precisely the one whom I love: you being exactly yourself, moment by moment.

Any story accompanying the sensations is non real thoughts/ words/ story in your head.

Rocket man – In hospital with severe internal injuries after trying to launch a firework rocket from his backside!
 The incident in Sunderland was captured by a gang of youths and the fuzzy mobile phone footage shows a blinding white flash followed by hysterical laughter and one youth shouting "ha ha ha ha that's f******* nice".
It is believed the 22-year-old had recently returned from a tour of Iraq. Witness Daniel Kassim, 16, said: "There were around 40 of us after the bonfire had finished. This lad was saying, 'This is boring, what can we do?' He then put a rocket up his backside and set light to it.
"Everyone was laughing and didn't believe he'd do it. He pulled his trousers down and it exploded within seconds.
"No one thought he was hurt. But then he stood up and walked a few metres before stumbling and falling to the ground. There was quite a bit of blood."
Safety campaigners say they have never come across such a bizarre incident but it is thought the squaddie could have been copying a scene from the controversial film Jackass: The Movie which shows a similar prank.
A spokeswoman for the North East Ambulance Service said: "We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding.
"He was attended to and taken to Sunderland Royal Hospital."
The victim is recovering at Sunderland Royal Hospital after sustaining horrific internal injuries including a scorched colon. Safety experts today warned that misusing the explosives in such a senseless way can have serious consequences.
Police and paramedics were called to the Dame Dorothy Street area of Monkwearmouth, in Sunderland, on Bonfire Night after reports of the stunt.
The prank, involving a Black Cat Thunderbolt Rocket, has left safety officers bemused. A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) said: "It's so unfortunate that someone is now paying the price for the misuse of fireworks.
"Let's not forget these are explosives. They come with specific instructions about how they should be used."
A spokeswoman for Northumbria Police said: "We were notified by the ambulance service and the 22-year-old was taken to hospital for treatment." The police are understood not to be carrying out further inquiries.A spokesman for the Firework Association, said he had never heard of an incident like it in 45 years. He added: "This sort of thing is beyond belief. We have spent a long time working with the Government to create laws that make fireworks safer and better for the public. This incident is very concerning but hopefully an isolated one."

Shots fired at Florida high school during football game
WELLINGTON, Fla. (AP) - A high school football stadium has been evacuated after gunshots rang out during a practice football game in South Florida.
Palm Beach County Sheriff's officials said it happened Friday night at Palm Beach Central High School. Authorities said in a statement they do not think it's an active shooter situation.
The Palm Beach Post reports a helicopter landed on the field, and a man was being treated on the track.
Witnesses said the stands were full during the fourth quarter of the pre-season game when they heard the gunfire. It was not immediately clear whether the shots were fired in or near the stadium.
TV footage late Friday showed a large number of law enforcement vehicles flashing emergency lights at the scene.
The sheriff's office did not release any other details.
