Q: Exporting from Excel to Access error I am trying to export a table from Excel to a table in an Access DB, but I keep getting an error "Database or Object is read only".  Here is the code in qestion.
    dbWB = Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName
    dbWS = Application.ActiveSheet.Name
    dsh = "[" & dbWS & "$]"

    Set DB = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    dbPath = "\\Corpaa.aa.com\CampusHome\IOCADHome02\758673\Projects\Global Analysis Tool\MX Analysis DB\Global Line MX Hub Review DB.accdb"
    scn = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & dbPath

    DB.Open scn

    DB.Execute "DELETE * FROM tblNewSchedule;"

    SQLInsert = "INSERT INTO tblNewSchedule "
    SQLSelect = "SELECT * "
    SQLFrom = "FROM [Excel 8.0; HDR=YES; DATABASE= " & dbWB & "]." & dsh & " "

    strQry = SQLInsert & SQLSelect & SQLFrom & ";"
   DB.Execute strQry
   DB.Close

The DELETE qry executes just fine with no errors.  The problem is the strQry execution.  I believe it is refrencing that the WB is read-only, but I am running the code from the WB.  I am running Office 2010.  Thank you for your assistance.

A: so, after continuing my search, I discovered a different approach that worked perfectly.  I found it on this here
Here is my new working code.  Thanks for the assistance.

Two new developers have recently joined the Dev Team, now composed of five people. The team growth has changed the dynamics, adding complexity and the need for a revision of the Definition of Done.
The Scrum Master invited the Product Owner and Dev Team to generate ideas for the DoD. Lots of post its were generated and shared then, some items detailed, other less precise. Afterwards, the discussion got stuck on the level of details of the documentation, especially for testing purposes.
The question was: how precise and detailed should the DoD be? Should we be specific, for example: "non-regression tests documented, validated by a pair, run and the result stored on the folder XY". Should we just be happy of having a phrase like: "non-regression tests"?
The answer to this question is, of course, whatever the Product Owner and Dev Team decide together is acceptable, provided that they continuously improve through inspection and adaptation.
This is when an unexpected conversation started between the DevTeam members: one of them arguing that simply writing "non-regression tests" wouldn't ensure that the colleague performed enough "good" and "significant" tests. He could just have done something to get rid of the test and move on to the next one.
Starting from the assumption that the Dev Team is a group of professionals that are self-organized to create a Done Increment at the end of each Sprint, if they are unable to agree on a DoD definition and use wording like "how can I know if you really did a good test" it's, in my opinion, the evidence that the issue is probably relying on having trust in the other team member's work.
I validated my assumption of the situation with some open question.I know now I have to help the DevTeam restoring trust to become effective again. What started as a DoD discussion, finally revealed a deeper issue: a lack of trust between the DevTeam members.
I'm confident this team will overcome these difficulties, and will be an high performing Dev Team quickly!
I constantly check for lack of trust. Often this is the problem. You can check my "Exploring the Scrum Values Workshop" article for ideas.
Changes in team composition may affect team productivity, read the Tuckman's stages of group development to know more.
As a Scrum Master, learn to identify where the real issue is, by cross-checking the topic at stake, people behaviours, people wording and body language.
As a Scrum Master, stick to the Scrum Guide and the rules of the game (especially if you're less experienced) many times, this is the starting point of my explanations.

Festival della Valle d'Itria: the best voices of opera for the 47th edition in Martina Franca, 17th July – 5th August
Music director Fabio Luisi to conduct the opening concert
Amongst the protagonists of the event are Teresa Iervolino, Angela Meade, Lisette Oropesa, Raffaele Pe, Marianna Pizzolato, Carmela Remigio, Federico Maria Sardelli, Markus Werba, Joseph Calleja
"Fiat lux" is the title of the 47thedition of the Festival della Valle d'Itria, which will take place from the 17th July to the 5th August in Martina Franca: 20 days of shows lighting the stages of the Palazzo Ducale, of the Chiostro di San Domenico, and the ancient country estates of the Valley – in complete observance of anti-Covid protocols. Great names from the world of opera will perform rare works: operas, oratorios, recitals, and symphonic concerts. The programme was created by artistic director Alberto Triola and music director Fabio Luisi, approved by the Fondazione Paolo Grassi, the promoting body of the Festival, led by Franco Punzi.
«The programme – says Alberto Triola – sketches a clear historical and cultural itinerary starting from the Neapolitan Baroque of Alessandro Scarlatti and Nicola Porpora, passing through Haydn's Viennese Classicism, and finally reaching Schubert. But the proposed works open up to interpretations, to connections and references to today's human and social conditions, starting from the most obvious example: "Fiat lux" is a new beginning, stemming from the pressing need for an authentic re-creation of the world. This implies the failure, sinking, and abandonment of things as they have stood so far, which suddenly appear hopelessly old, or tragically show our inadequacy.
As per tradition, the opening event will be held at the Palazzo Ducale – with its stalls set up and ready once again in full compliance with health and safety norms. The opening work is Franz Joseph Haydn's The Creation (17, 23, 31 July), Conducted by Fabio Luisi and performed in the Italian version by Dario Del Corno, revisited by Filippo Del Corno for the occasion. In Martina Franca,Haydn's oratorio, with libretto by Baron Gottfried van Swieten – inspired by pages from the Genesis, and Milton's Paradise Lost (1667) – will be performed in a staged version, directed by Fabio Ceresa, with scenes by Tiziano Santi, and costumes by Gianluca Falaschi. This production sees our renewed collaboration with Bari's Orchestra del Teatro Petruzzelli, while we have the debut in Martina Franca of the Coro Ghislieri: a permanently resident group at the Centro di Musica Antica of the Fondazione Ghislieri in Pavia, considered one of the most original Italian realities in the field of period music, conducted by Giulio Prandi. As regards the cast, in the role of Rafael we have Alessio Arduini; as Adam and Eve we have two young artists from the Accademia del Belcanto "Rodolfo Celletti": Catalan baritone Jan Antem, and soprano Sabrina Sanza. The choreographies are by the dancers of the Fattoria Vittadini.
«The project of the Festival della Valle d'Itria2021, with the staged performance of Haydn's oratorio The Creation – notes music director Fabio Luisi – is extremely interesting, and bold in its will to have music work alongside theatre visuals. It belongs to the DNA of the Festival, which has always connected the Italian Belcanto repertoire to the European experiences stemming from it.We know that many of Haydn's operas are scarce in dramaturgy, in spite of often being an explosion of music values. As it is not necessarily linked to a theatre dramaturgy, but to a biblical-historical connection, The Creation lends itself to the exploration of a decidedly Mediterranean vocality, adequate to the Habsburg and Middle-European music environment. Furthermore, from a personal point of view, this project brings me back to the beginning of my conducting career: in Martina Franca I had the privilege, under Rodolfo Celletti's artistic direction, to experience this masterpiece, just like today in Dario dal Corno's translation, which was created expressly for us».
Composed on a 1701 libretto by Apostolo Zeno, based on Boccaccio's final Decameron novella, Alessandro Scarlatti's La Griselda will be staged at the Palazzo Ducale (24, 29 July, 1 August) commemorating the three-hundredth anniversary of its debut, which took place in Rome at the Teatro Capranica in 1721. Conducting the orchestra La Lira di Orfeo – an ensemble dedicated to Baroque secular music – and the Ghisleri Choir, we have Georg Petrou, returning to Martina Franca after his 2019success of Porpora's L'Orfeo. Directed by Rosetta Cucchi, with scenes by Tiziano Santi and costumes by Claudia Pernigotti. In the role of Griselda we have soprano Carmela Remigio, celebrating her fourth consecutive year with us in Martina Franca. In our Festival she has interpreted and performed extremely varied roles, all with huge acclaim from audience and critics: Armidain Handle/Leo's Rinaldo, Ecuba in Manfroce's homonymous work, and Arianna in Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos. Another welcome return is countertenor Raffaele Pe, in the role of Gualtiero. To complete the cast of singers we have repertoire specialists Francesca Ascioti (Ottone), Giuseppina Bridelli (Roberto), and Krystian Adam (Corrado).
The third title at the Palazzo Ducaleis L'Angelica (30 July, 3 August), a serenata by Nicola Porporadated1720, composed on the first libretto by Pietro Metastasio. It is based on the heroic gests narrated in Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando furioso. The project is co-produced with Mainz' Staatstheater, created by Gianluca Falaschi, a costume designer who has created stage clothes for some of the most important theatres in the world; this is his debut as a director. Federico Maria Sardelli is one of the most appreciated conductors in the field of Baroque repertoire; he will conduct the Lira di Orfeo and a cast including mezzosoprano Teresa Iervolino as Orlando, and Elena Bakanova as Angelica. The pastoral trio of Licori, Titiro, and Tirsi is interpreted respectively by Gaia Petrone, Sergio Foresti, and Barbara Massaro.
Also at the Palazzo Ducale, on the 4th August we have a staged version of one of Franz Schubert's most celebrated compositions, the Lieder Winterreise song cycle ("Winter Journey"): 24 pieces for voice and piano, with poetic texts by Wilhelm Müller, performed here in Martina Franca by Austrian Markus Werba and pianist-conductor Michele Gamba. The staging is created by Libero Stelluti, much celebrated by our Festival's audience for his direction with the group Eco di fondoof productions Altricanti d'Amor, and Il Trionfo dell'onore, as well as the show La rana e le nuvole performed at the Ateneo Bruni.
Completing the programme of the 47th edition of Martina Franca's Festival are the great voices of opera. American soprano Angela Meade, at her debut in our Festival, on 25thJuly.
We are delighted to confirm the cycle of recitals "Il canto degli ulivi" in historic country estates around the Valle d'Itria: four dates, featuring four female voices amongst the most refined and sophisticated on the European scenario. We start on the 20th July with soprano Julie Fuchs, then mezzosopranos Vivica Genaux (22 July) – accompanied by the Enea Barock Orchestra conducted by Valeria Montanari –, Marianna Pizzolato (27 July), and Veronica Simeoni (28 July). The cycle "Il canto degli ulivi" (a format which has substituted "L'opera in masseria" after health and safety restrictions) is one of the most sought-after appointments by our audience, as well as being one of the most iconic of the whole Festival della Valle d'Itria experience; the richness of the territory combines with the deepest nature of the event: it's all about voices, and Belcanto tradition. For the third year running, accompanying the Festival in this event series is the Consorzio di Tutela del Primitivo di Manduria, offering the audience tastings of one of the most appreciated DOC products, at the end of every show.
The evening of the 2nd August there's the traditional awarding of the Premio del Belcanto "Rodolfo Celletti", which this year goes to the celebrated conductor Richard Bonynge, protagonist of historic and now almost legendary performances and recordings of Belcanto, together with Joan Sutherland, his life partner to whom the award is also extended in memoriam. The award is followed by the Concerto del Belcanto with one of today's most celebrated performers of the genre: soprano Lisette Oropoesa with the Orchestra del Teatro Petruzzelli conducted by Christopher Franklin.
Another appointment not to be missed is the "Concerto per lo spirito" (26 July) set in the Baroque frame of the Basilica di San Martino. This year's protagonist is Scarlatti and Porpora's sacred music performed by Raffaele Pe and the Coro Ghislieri, accompanied by musicians of La Lira di Orfeo conducted by Giulio Prandi.
At the Chiostro di San Domenico we have two homages to composers whose anniversaries fall this year: for the 50th of Igor Stravinskij's death on the 21st July, the Gromoglasova piano Duet will perform pieces by the Russian composer, by Darius Milhaud, and Béla Bartók; on the 18th and 19th July there's our appointment with the semi-staged production of Le dernier sorcier, chamber opera by French composer Pauline Viardot, commemorating the bicentenary of her birth. The score is written with didactic and demonstrative aims showing the potential of Belcanto technique, performed by the young artists of the Accademia del Belcanto "Rodolfo Celletti". The supervision of the musical preparation of the project is in the trusted hands of Carmen Santoro. Concert master at the piano is Curro Soriano. Director Davide Garattini Raimondi will take care of staging the production. This project is an international co-production with the Zamora Littleopera Festival.
The Festival della Valle d'Itria ends on the 5thAugust at the Palazzo Ducale with a closing concert dedicated to the music of Astor Piazzolla, on the centenary of his birth: tenor Joseph Calleja is the protagonist, at his Martina Franca debut, accompanied by the virtuoso of Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi's bandoneon, and the Orchestra ICO della Magna Grecia conducted by Gianluca Marcianò.
We are pleased to continue our partnerships with some of the major businesses of our territory, which given this particular time in history have decided to support our social and cultural mission. For 2021 we already have three partners from our area, with more following over the next few weeks: aside from the Consorzio di Tutela del Primitivo di Manduria, Martina Franca's Festival is supported by Masseria Torre Maizza / A Rocco Forte Hotel, "Platinum Partner" of the 47th edition, and Rolex, who have chosen our Festival publications as a promotional channel.

Thanks for stopping by! Whether this is the first time you've ever visited my blog or you're a regular reader, I appreciate your visit. I started blogging here at Homespun by Laura in 2012 so I could share my projects with others.
I'm slowly transforming the 1980s house we bought in 2009 into a home one DIY project at a time. Fresh paint on the walls, DIY decor projects, and rehabbed furniture from thrift stores and roadsides have helped to transform it into a comfortable and inviting space.
Other interests include decorating tasty cakes for friends and family, trying my hand at drawing and painting occasionally after about a 20-year hiatus, and running.
Running is still a huge part of my life. Over the past 18 years (how is that possible?), I have completed three marathons and more 5k, 10k, and half marathons than I can count. On multiple occasions during a training run, I have found roadside treasures that I've brought home and made my own (read about my favorite roadside find here).
Other interests include listening to cast commentary and other special features on DVDs (which I often do while I sew or paint), listening to audiobooks, catching a glimpse of a beautiful sunset or sunrise, cooking, and taking backroads road trips with the Mister. In 2016, we hit the road for three months, traveling to all 48 continental states on back roads.
Here's a shot from a backroads roadtrip near the SC-Georgia border.

When an HIV-positive person starts his or her antiretroviral medication (ART) for the first time, it is hard to know what to expect. More so, it is easy to let your imagination run wild with potential side effects, health complications and whatever other freaky possibility your mind can concoct. Even someone who has been taking their meds for years will often overthink a red bump or overdramatize their recent feelings of fatigue, only to return to logical reasoning shortly thereafter.
Headaches, irritability, weird bumps and sluggishness are all easy to blame away on your disease or your medication. But the truth is, many of these side effects are most likely a direct cause of other factors that are far less dramatic. Poor diet, lack of sleep and stress can wreak havoc on your body and make you feel like crap. But instead of jumping to the worst-case-scenario and bugging your doctor with yet another unnecessary visit, take a look at some more obvious reasons why you may be feeling worse for wear.
A healthy lifestyle is crucial to not only looking, but also feeling good, and the wrong choices can make your body and your mind feel terrible. So before you go labeling your lethargy as side effects of HIV or ART, ask yourself these important questions.
1.) Are you drinking enough water?
You may mean to drink water throughout the day, but a hectic schedule or impending deadline can often get in the way. Dehydration is one of the most common reasons why people do not have enough energy, and has also been known to cause other health complications such as headache and weight gain. No matter how much water you may think you drink, if you are feeling bad, make a concerted effort to drink more water. You may be surprised by how adding more water to your diet can change the way your skin looks and your mind and body feel.
Quick tip: If you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated.
2.) Are you eating your vegetables?
There is a reason why your parents always made you eat your broccoli. Veggies contain fiber, antioxidants, nutrients and vitamins, and they are the most health-promoting food group you can choose from. No pill or powder can ever supplement the nutrition you can get from eating foods that naturally contain the vitamins and minerals your body needs. Evaluate what you eat over the course of a week and ask yourself if you are eating the right amount and variety of veggies. If not, you could be suffering from the effects of vitamin deficiencies that result from an unbalanced diet.
Quick tip: If you are a veggie-hater, here are some ways to eat your vegetables without losing your lunch.
3.) Are you getting enough sleep?
One night of tossing and turning may not affect you much, but a week of bad sleep can make even the healthiest person a total slug. The average adult needs about seven to nine hours of sleep, but many of us rarely get that. And if you think that a lack of sleep only makes you groggy and unfocused, think again. Researchers found that, after seven days of too little sleep, a person can undergo more than 700 genetic changes that could lead to consequences such as heart problems and weight gain.
Quick tip: Dehydration and a poor diet can lead to a lack of quality sleep.
4.) Are you drinking too much?
It is true that a person who is HIV-positive can enjoy social drinking without any additional negative side effects. But what is also true is that frequent alcohol use, such as two or more drinks a day, can cause HIV to progress faster than in people who are lighter drinkers. Drinking in excess can also cause someone to miss doses of their medication more frequently, further leading to potential complications.
Quick tip: If you commonly miss your dosage due to a night of drinking, switch to a medication that you can take in the morning.
5.) Are you exercising enough?
No one would argue that we all could use a little more exercise. But besides the aesthetic reasons for working out, exercise is known to combat many of the side effects of HIV. It can improve sleep, reduce stress, decrease fat in the abdomen (a common side effect of treatment) and simply make you feel better about yourself.
Fatigue can seem like a barrier to exercise, especially if you feel as if you can't exercise as hard as you could when you were HIV-negative. But just like with any fitness goal, you can get back to where you were with training and commitment.
Fast Fact: A study in the Journal of NeuroVirology found that neurocognitive impairment, or difficulties related to memory, is prevalent among those with HIV. However, HIV-positive individuals engaged in regular exercise were half as likely to have this impairment.
Whether it truly is a side effect from HIV, the medication you take or a combination of unhealthy choices, getting back on track with regular sleep, a good diet and some regular exercise may be all you need to overcome your ailments and feel like a better version of yourself.

Q: How to find dot product of two very large matrices to avoid memory error? I am trying to learn ML using Kaggle datasets. In one of the problems (using Logistic regression) inputs and parameters matrices are of size (1110001, 8) & (2122640, 8) respectively.
I am getting memory error while doing it in python. This would be same for any language I guess since it's too big. My question is how do they multiply matrices in real life ML implementations (since it would usually be this big)?
Things bugging me :

*

*Some ppl in SO have suggested to calculate dot product in parts and then combine. But even then matrix would be still too big for RAM (9.42TB? in this case)

*And If I write it to a file wouldn't it be too slow for optimization algorithms  to read from file and minimize function?

*Even if I do write it to file how would fmin_bfgs(or any opt. function) read from file?

*Also Kaggle notebook shows only 1GB of storage available. I don't think anyone would allow TBs of storage space.

*In my input matrix many rows have similar values for some columns. Can I use it my advantage to save space? (like sparse matrix for zeros in matrix)
Can anyone point me to any real life sample implementation of such cases. Thanks!

A: I have tried many things. I will be mentioning these here, if anyone needs them in future:

*

*I had already cleaned up data like removing duplicates and
irrelevant records depending on given problem etc.

*I have stored large matrices which hold mostly 0s as sparse matrix.

*I implemented the gradient descent using mini-batch method instead of plain old Batch method (theta.T dot X).

Now everything is working fine.

John Hamilton (19 August 1841 – 7 December 1916), also known as John Dinwoodie, was an Australian politician.

Early life
He was born in Melbourne to saddler John Dinwoodie and Janet, née McFarlane. He was sent to a private tutor in England before travelling to Rockhampton with the intention to become a pastoralist. He instead became a gold miner at the Calliope gold rush and moved to Gympie in 1867, where he became a magistrate under the name John Hamilton. He also practiced as a doctor despite his lack of qualifications, and in 1877 was a surgeon to the hospital at the Hodgkinson gold rush, where he attracted publicity with a public dispute with the local warden and a successful defamation case after allegations that he seduced the daughter of a friend of the local editor.

Politics
In 1878 he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland for Gympie and supported Thomas McIlwraith's conservative group. In 1883 he changed seat to Cook, winning the election amid allegations of vote rigging.

Hamilton supported the North Queensland separatist movement and continued to support McIlwraith's conservative successors, becoming a significant but occasionally rebellious backbencher, successfully opposing the attempted reduction of parliamentary salaries in 1893 and defeating the nomination of Alfred Cowley as Speaker in 1899. In 1903 he lost his post as government whip and in 1904 lost his seat to a Labour candidate.

Later life
Following his defeat he retired, and died in 1916 at the Royal Brisbane Hospital, having never married and was buried at Toowong Cemetery.

Moravians
(Redirected from Moravians (ethnic group))
This article is about the ethnographic group. For members of the Moravian Church, see Moravian Church. For other uses, see Moravian (disambiguation).
Moravians (Czech: Moravané or colloquially Moraváci, outdated Moravci) are a West Slavic ethnographic group from the Moravia region of the Czech Republic, who speak the Moravian dialects of the Czech language or Common Czech or a mixed form of both. Along with the Silesians of the Czech Republic, a part of the population to identify ethnically as Moravian has registered in Czech censuses since 1991. The figure has fluctuated and in the 2011 census, 4.9% of the Czech population declared Moravian as their nationality. Smaller pockets of persons declaring Moravian ethnicity are also native to neighboring Slovakia.

A certain ambiguity in the Czech language derives from the fact that it only distinguishes between Čechy (Bohemia) and Česká republika (Czech republic), but the corresponding adjective český and noun designating an inhabitant and/or a member of a nation Čech can be related to either of the two (the adjective bohémský and the noun bohém have only the "socially unconventional person" meaning).[4]
Moravian tribeEdit
Main article: Moravians (tribe)
Moravians, painting by Václav Malý
The Moravians (Old Slavic self-designation Moravljane,[5] Slovak: Moravania, Czech: Moravané) were a West Slavic tribe in the Early Middle Ages. Although it is not known exactly when the Moravian tribe was founded, Czech historian Dušan Třeštík claimed the tribe was formed between the turn of the 6th century to the 7th century, around the same time as the other Slavic tribes.[6]
In the 9th century Moravians settled mainly around the historic Region of Moravia and Western Slovakia, but also in parts of central-southern Poland, Lower Austria (up to the Danube) and Upper Hungary. The first known mention of the Moravians was in the Annales Regni Francorum in 822 AD. The tribe was located by the Bavarian Geographer between the tribe of the Bohemians and the tribe of the Bulgarians.
In the 9th century Moravians gain control over neighbouring Nitra and founded the Realm of Great Moravia, ruled by the Mojmír dynasty until the 10th century. At times, the empire controlled even other neighboring regions, including Bohemia and parts of present-day Hungary, Poland and Ukraine. It emerged into one of the most powerful states in Central Europe.
After the breakup of the Moravian Realm the Moravian tribe was divided between the new states Duchy of Bohemia and Hungary. The western Moravians were assimilated by the Czechs and presently identify as Czechs. The modern nation of the Slovaks was formed out of the eastern part of the Moravian tribe within the Kingdom of Hungary.[7]
Moravians within the Czech landsEdit
Traditional Moravian costumes during festival
Bretislaus I, Duke of Bohemia, solving the successor question (5 sons), in his will decided to completely reorganize Moravia, it should govern the younger sons of the royal family. It was still considered one of the country, but from an objective standpoint it was weakened and Moravia could not lead to the formation of the medieval "nation" as quickly as in Bohemia. The way leading to the differentiation of the Moravians from the Czechs was caused by political and economic changes of the late 12th and early 13th century. Czech historical tradition was grown in Moravia during the Middle Ages, for example Czech Chronicles was reread and distributed.
Moravian ethnicity was declared for the first time[citation needed] in the population census of 1991. After the Velvet Revolution a strong political movement to reinstate the Moravian-Silesian land (země Moravskoslezská in Czech, having been one of the four lands of Czechoslovakia between 1928 and 1939) was active in Moravia. Accordingly, the so far officially united Czech ethnicity was split in line with the historical division of the Czech Republic into Bohemia, Moravia and Czech Silesia (the Czech lands). Part of the Czech speaking inhabitants of Moravia declared Moravian ethnicity and part of the Czech speaking inhabitants of Czech Silesia declared Silesian ethnicity.
1,363,000 citizens of the Czech Republic declared Moravian ethnicity in 1991. However, the number dropped to 380,474 in the 2001 census – many persons previously declaring themselves as Moravians declared themselves again as Czechs in this census. In 2011, the number increased again to 630 897. The strongest sense of patriotism towards Moravia is found in the environs of Brno, the former capital of Moravia.
Only in the first years after the Velvet Revolution in 1989 did a few Moravian political parties seem to be able to gain some success in elections. However they lost much of their strength around the time of the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993 when Czechoslovakia peacefully split into the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic.
According to the 2011 Census, the percentage of people without religion was lowest in the Moravian Zlín Region, followed by the partly Bohemian, partly Moravian Vysočina Region, the South Moravian Region, the Moravian-Silesian Region, and the predominantly Moravian Olomouc Region.[8]

Exploring the role of phase-out policies for low-carbon energy transitions: the case of the German Energiewende
Rogge, Karoline S and Johnstone, Phil (2017) Exploring the role of phase-out policies for low-carbon energy transitions: the case of the German Energiewende. Energy Research & Social Science, 33. pp. 128-137. ISSN 2214-6296
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2017.10.004
The energy sector plays a significant role in reaching the ambitious climate policy target of limiting the global temperature increase to well below 2°C. To this end, technological change has to be redirected and accelerated in the direction of zero-carbon solutions. Given the urgency and magnitude of the climate change challenge it has been argued that this calls for a policy mix which simultaneously supports low-carbon solutions and also deliberately drives the discontinuation of the established technological regime. Yet, the effect of such phase-out policies on the development and diffusion of low-carbon technologies has received little attention in empirical research so far. This paper addresses this gap by taking the case of the transition of the German electricity generation system towards renewable energies – the so-called Ener-giewende. Based on a survey of innovation activities of German manufacturers of renewable power gener-ation technologies conducted in 2014 it explores the impact such destabilization policies – most prominent-ly Germany's nuclear phase-out policy – may have on technological change in renewable energies. By drawing on descriptive statistics and combining insights from earlier regression analyses we find evidence that Germany's nuclear phase-out policy had a positive influence on manufacturers' innovation expendi-tures for renewable energies and was seen as the by far most influential policy instrument for the further expansion of renewable energies in Germany. The insights resulting from our explorative analysis have important implications for the literature on policy mixes and sustainability transitions regarding the 'flip sides' to innovation and the crucial importance of destabilization policies for unleashing 'destructive crea-tion'. We close by discussing policy repercussions for ongoing debates on policies for accelerating the phase-out of coal to meet climate change targets.

Hello from Hangzhou | Are you Insane?
Currently hanging on this hotel's weak wifi to place this dispatch. Basically, in Mainland China: Twitter, blocked. Facebook, blocked. My site, not blocked.
I will have a real update when I get back to the land of the free later tonight. And by that I mean back to Hong Kong. I will tell you this. You have come over to China to see for yourself. You won't regret it.


After receiving so many requests for a princess line dress, I decided to create this pattern. Starting with the dress, adding an underskirt, tights and a hat.
Then I reintroduced the swing coat from my discontinued "Amoureuse" pattern . I adjusted the coat pattern to suit Ellowyne's personality, made it a little longer and wider, added a gathered collar, and adjusted the sleeves so that Ellowyne's hands pass through easily.
This pattern is very easy to sew, but there are a lot of steps! If you approach it "one seam at a time" you will be fine, and before you know it you will have a beautiful and completely feminine ensemble.
Your girls will be dressed in style with their Fully Lined Princess Line Dress, Underskirt, Coat, Hat, Bag, and Tights!
This pattern is available as a PDF download for my low price of $12.00 or you can choose to purchase a pattern that is printed out and mailed to your home address for $18.00 (USPS postage to US and Canadian addresses included).

"Further" Versus "Farther"
Today's topic is "further" versus "farther." How does the word "farther" differ from the word "further," and how can you remember the difference?
Mignon Fogarty,
Grammar Girl
Today's topic is "further" versus "farther."
Almost every week someone asks me to explain the difference between "further" and "farther." I know you are all looking up "further vs farther," and when I was on the Oprah Winfrey Show, a production assistant grabbed me backstage while my head was still spinning and begged me to give her a way to remember which word to use. So today, I'll try to help you with this continuing conundrum.
The quick and dirty tip is to use "farther" for physical distance and "further" for metaphorical, or figurative, distance. It's easy to remember because "farther" has the word "far" in it, and "far" obviously relates to physical distance. These examples will help:
Imagine Squiggly and Aardvark are flying to a galaxy far, far away, but Squiggly gets bored and starts mercilessly bugging Aardvark. "How much farther?'" he keeps asking in despair.
Did you hear that? Squiggly used "farther" because he was asking about physical distance.
If Aardvark gets frustrated with Squiggly, which he surely will, he could respond, "If you complain further, I'm going to shoot you out the airlock."
Aardvark used "further" because he isn't talking about physical distance. He's talking about a figurative distance: the extent of Squiggly's complaining.
More "Further" Versus "Farther" Tips
If you can't decide which one to use, you're safer using further because farther has some restrictions.
Sometimes the quick and dirty tip doesn't work because it's hard to decide whether you're talking about physical distance. For example, Lisa asked about the sentence "I'm further along in my book than you are in yours." You could think of it as a physical distance through the pages and use "farther," or as a figurative distance through the story and use "further."
And what if you stop someone in the middle of a sentence to interject something? Do you say "before we go any further," or "before we go any farther"?
The good news is that in ambiguous cases it doesn't matter which word you choose. Although careful writers will try to stick with the distinction between "further" and "farther," the Oxford English Dictionary, Fowler's Modern English Usage, and a number of other sources say that, in most cases, it's fine to use "further" and "farther" interchangeably, especially when the distinction isn't clear. People have been using them interchangeably for hundreds of years, and a few experts don't even follow the distinction.
It's also different in British English. For example, Garner's Modern English Usage notes that the British use both "further" and "farther" for physical distance. (1)
