Q: Check if string is found in one of multiple columns in SQL I want to search a string in multiple columns to check if it exists in any.
I found a solution for it here
The answer by Thorsten is short but that is a solution for mysql server not for SQL Server.
So I would like to apply similar query in SQL Server.
Here is the query suggested by Thorsten.
Select *
from tblClients
WHERE name || surname LIKE '%john%'

I tried it as
/* This returns nothing */
Select *
from Items
Where ISNULL(Code, '') + ISNULL(Code1, '') = '6922896068701';
Go

/* This generate error Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near '|'.
I also used this one in mysql but it does not show the exact match.
*/
Select *
from Items
WHERE Code || Code1 = '6922896068701';
Go

/* This generate error Msg 4145, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Or'. */
Select *
from Items
WHERE Code Or Code1 = '6922896068701';
Go

Is it really possible in SQL Server?
Note: The answer by J__ works accurately in the upper Question link but I want the comparison string to be entered once for all columns where I look for it like Thorsten.

A: Actually I think that separate logical checks in the WHERE clause for each column is the way to go here.  If you can't do that for some reason, consider using a WHERE IN (...) clause:
SELECT *
FROM Items
WHERE '6922896068701' IN (Code, Code1);

If instead you want LIKE logic, then it gets tricky.  If you knew that the matching codes would always consist of numbers/letters, then you could try:
SELECT *
FROM Items
WHERE ',' + Code + ',' + Code1 + ',' LIKE '%,6922896068701,%';

A: I would recommend doing the two comparisons separately:
WHERE name LIKE '%john%' OR
      surname LIKE '%john%'

Unless you specifically want to find times when the names are combined, such as "Maryjoh" "Needlebaum" or whatever.
It is generally better to focus on one column at a time, because that helps the optimizer.

A: For MS SQL  this may work;
 Select *
 from Items
 WHERE Code = '6922896068701' Or Code1 = '6922896068701'


Now that the worst of the foreclosure crisis is in the rearview mirror, former home owners who lost their homes to a short sale or foreclosure are re-entering the housing market. They've spent the last few years rebuilding their credit — and they're ready to buy again.
Some boomerang buyers heading back to the housing market may find they have to make down payments of at least 20 percent to qualify for a loan, but others are finding opportunities to put down as little as 3.5 percent or 5 percent.
Seven-year wait for home owners with a previous foreclosure before they can qualify for a new mortgage through mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If the foreclosure was included in a bankruptcy, the borrower has to wait only four years.
Two-year wait for home owners who underwent a short sale before they're eligible for another Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae loan.
Three-year wait for home owners seeking a Federal Housing Administration loan after a foreclosure or short sale. Some home owners who underwent a foreclosure because of at least a 20 percent cut in their pay may be able to qualify for a new mortgage after just a year through FHA's Back to Work program.


Department research is funded by both governmental and industrial agencies. With close international collaboration, faculty members are able to also carry out interdisciplinary research projects. In general, research can be grouped into six major categories: analytical chemistry, biochemistry/chemical biology, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and polymer chemistry.
The department's Analytical Chemistry Division is one of the leading analytical chemistry venues in Southeast Asia. Their research activities span from development of novel analytical techniques for nanotechnology, to mass spectrometric and separation science-related methodologies that target important problems in chemical analysis. The Analytical Chemistry Division's principal goal is to provide high-quality training for students willing to pursue careers in industry as well as academia. Research students (at Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral levels) are exposed to world-class expertise on a variety of topics, allowing them to gain practical industry and research-grade skills and techniques: mass spectrometry, chromatography, electrophoresis, and electrochemical analysis platforms to name a few.
Chemical biology is rapidly establishing itself as an important interdisciplinary field in which chemical methods are used to study problems in basic biology and biomedical issues. In turn, molecular biology is providing a growing number of tools and enzymatic reagents to the organic chemist. This cross-discipline approach brings biotechnology to a new dimension.
Our interdisciplinary division is designed for students interested in applying chemical skills to biological research. We provide teachings and research opportunities that integrate bio, analytical, and inorganic chemistry as well as molecular and nanobiotechnology. Several research directions are being explored using the following techniques and more: microbial screening, fermentation, gene cloning, recombinant protein expression, mass spectrometry, separations, and optical imaging. Through study of complex biological networks at the molecular level, new insights about protein chemistry can be gained, leading to new ideas in molecular engineering as well as development of new drugs, novel devices, and biosensors.
One of the most prominent Inorganic Chemistry programs in Taiwan, this division's research interests focus on optoelectronic, thermoelectric, and inorganic nanomaterials as well as organometallics and bioinorganic processes. Providing quality education and professional training at both undergraduate and graduate levels the Inorganic Chemistry Division is ideal for those pursuing careers in academia and also for those who aim to continue in high tech industries. All current and incoming graduate students in the Inorganic Chemistry Division will have financial support as long as students maintain good academic standing and make great progress toward their goal.
From physical organic chemistry and supramolecular chemistry to enzymatic preparation of various oligosaccharides for drug development as well as combinatory drug discovery and microwave-assisted polymer supported synthesis to name a few. Other topics include synthesis of biological important oligosaccharides, methodology for the synthesis of new functional molecules, and synthesis of organic and polymeric functional materials in opto-electronics, photonics, biosensors, and nanotechnology. The principle goal of the Organic Chemistry Division is to provide high-quality training for students interested in pursuing careers in industry and academia. Research students (Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate levels) are exposed to world-class expertise on a variety of topics, and taught practical skills and knowledge in synthesis and numerous spectroscopic methods including MS, LC/MS/MS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR, as well as fluorescence and CD spectroscopy.
The Physical Chemistry Division is recognized as one of the best institutions in Asia for its leadership of world-famous senior scientists and state-of-the-art instrumentations. Students in this division will be able to join research raging from radicals and biomolecules to nano-particles and green energy materials with various advanced light sources and detection methods as well as the strong theoretical support from computational and theoretical chemistry.
Polymer science is a broad and interdisciplinary field covering many subjects: polymer materials, polymer physics, polymer engineering, and of course polymer chemistry. We aim to provide students with the understanding and knowledge of cutting-edge polymer science.


BPI Sports latest product Creatine HD utilizes six forms of creatine to help you increase power, strength, and lean mass. Is it really the "best"?
BPI Sports has been one of the busiest companies in recent months releasing several new products including the delicious nitric oxide booster Pump HD and a new 1-pill fat burner, Burn XS.
No rest for the wicked — BPI launched an all new supplement this week, and while it might sound familiar, it's most certainly different. Creatine HD is an all new creatine formula from BPI that's just a bit different than the brand's current creatine product, Best Creatine.
Creatine HD features 6 different forms of creatine plus a few extras to help with recovery and performance.
As we mentioned up top, Creatine HD has some slight variations from Best Creatine. The newest offering contains six types of creatine for a total of 4g of creatine, just like Best Creatine. However, the two only have five types in common, with creatine citrate being the form used in Creatine HD, instead of creatine phosphate.
We don't really need to bloviate any more on all its benefits do we?
Anhydrous is basically creatine mono without the "monohydrate" component. The purported benefit of removing the water is that it will provide more creatine per gram, and yield a ultra pure form of creatine. However, this hasn't been proven to be any more effective than monohydrate.
That said, this is the creatine where you literally get the most creatine per gram. There's nothing bonded to that creatine to "take up space", so it's become a bit of a crowd favorite for the purists.
Also known as magnesium creatine chelate (MCC), MagnaPower is a trademarked developed by Albion Human Nutrition. Here, creatine is bonded to magnesium via chelation. Bonding creatine to magnesium should enhance absorption and uptake by the body. Albion has their own funded research showing it's more effective than monohydrate, but we'll take it with a grain of salt.
Additionally, the process used to MCC is one of the most expensive around, hence why you don't see it sold in bulk all too often.
Here, creatine is bound to an alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) molecule. AKG is involved in the Krebs cycle, as is creatine, so this may enhance creatine transport and potentially reduce fatigue.
A combination of creatine and citric acid. This is one of the weakest hybrid forms of creatine as it only contains 40% creatine by weight.
Buffered creatine has higher pH level (12) than regular monohydrate. The supposed upside is that it prevents its premature breakdown to creatinine (a useless creatine by-product) resulting in better absorption by the muscles.
The makers of buffered creatine funded several studies showing this form was more effective than creatine monohydrate. However, another independent study concluded that buffered creatine did NOT increase muscle creatine content, training adaptations or body composition more than monohydrate!
Either way, it works. The non-stop argument about whether it works better will likely go on forever, though.
If you're bringing your "Best" to the gym you're tearing down muscle fibers that are going to need rebuilding. One of the not so pleasant side effects of hard work in the gym is the inevitably soreness that results while you recover.
Raspberry Snow Cone might make some good gummies just these were using Best BCAA.
At launch, there are only two flavors available in 50-serving tubs for Creatine HD: Raspberry Snow Cone and Unflavored. Knowing how great BPI's flavoring department is, we have high hopes for Raspberry Snow Cone, and hopefully the brand will release additional flavors.
While we won't go so far as to say this is the "Best" creatine, this is certainly a new and interesting blend of creatines. Until further research is done clearly pointing to any other forms of creatine aside from monohydrate as superior, we usually just stick to what we find cheapest (at least from trusted brands).
One thing is certain though, this supplement will taste better than probably any other creatine on the market, we're just not sure how much extra we're willing to pay for BPI's insanely awesome flavor systems… definitely not $1/day when we can find that much creatine monohydrate for a dime a day (minus the extra goodies, though).

The Open '19 Returns to Northern Ireland after 68 Years
In 1951, the Open Championship was played at Royal Portrush golf club which ended in a British win. Max Faulkner, the 34-year-old unattached professional, was unperturbed by the weather or the strong competition he was up against. He certainly did win, with an aggregate total of 285. In 2019, a return will be made to Royal Portrush golf club for the 148th Open.
In 1932, Harry Colts redesigned the court which prompted Bernhard Darwin to write that, and Colt built himself a monument more enduring than brass. McKenzie and Ebert – the architects – undertook the study of the evolution of the Royal Portrush.
Accommodating an enormous crowd at Royal Portrush
Since 1951, the British Open has certainly become more prominent among people and has grown in scale. It is now one of the largest sporting events, attracting over 200 thousand people during the "Open Week". The infrastructure of Royal Portrush, located in Northern Ireland, will be accommodated to fit a sporting event that size.
Royal Portrush is blessed with two great courses, the "Dunluce Course" and "Valley Course". To accommodate an enormous sporting crowd, the Dunluce Course will be used after building two new holes at its links. The course is currently closed until it's reopening for play held on Thursday 25th July 2019.
The stunning 5th hole at Royal Portrush is named "white rocks" after its view of the white cliffs, list of 3 fairway bunkers added which will demand greater accuracy from the tee. The green perched above the white strand where the outer binds close by is one of the most dramatic settings in the world.
Tips – Experts on golf clubs and yardages in a Bag?
What clubs do you need? And what does each club do? According to golf experts, every player needs to assemble a set of clubs that suits them best. If you're out on the golf course and your awful left with the shot, for which you don't have the correct club – chances are you're not going to score as well as you could do. The right set of clubs is the ones that will bring you joy and excitement on the course.
Putting a driver and porter are the two essential clubs, porter for getting the ball into the holes and the driver for hitting the ball with. The other clubs are as follows with the appropriate yardage written next to it:
4-iron: 170 yards
PW: 110 yards
GW: 100 yards
SW: 90 yards
LW: 80 yards
Sports betting and Golf Odds
One of the major reasons why people love the British Open season is because betting on professional golf is very exciting and fun. Not only that, it is very lucrative, and that is why the majority of the golf fans make sure they place their sporting bets in advance. If you're interested in placing sporting bets, you should first search for online strategy guides, and find a collection of expert picks to choose from. The best sport betting reviews include Betsson, Betfair, and Betvictor before making your final call on placing a bet. After you finish researching and get information on the different types of golf bets, you should feel ready to bet.
After each tournament ends, the golf odds become available with a wide selection to choose from. Sporting bets online has its perks, but it's crucial to make sure to give attention to the latest tournament news, etc. But don't be too hard on yourself, after all, it all depends on luck!

The Weekend Binge: "Gaus Electronics"
Marketing blunders, terrible bosses, clueless colleagues, and not-so-secret office affairs: Gaus Electronics is the hilarious 12-episode comedy series that gives k-drama fans a much-needed break from all the legal, murderous, and revenge dramas currently flooding the genre. Near-zero ratings may not have made this show a mainstream darling, but the raves it's been getting on social media have us wondering if Gaus Electronics is the real sleeper hit of 2022.
There isn't really one giant plot to Gaus Electronics. Instead, it's a slice-of-life comedy that revolves around Gaus' bumbling Marketing Team 3, and mines their highs, their lows, and everything hilarious in their corporate lives. Based on Kwak Baek-soo's webcomic Gaus Jeonja which ran from 2011 to 2019, Gaus Electronics is a litany of corporate woes set to comedy. At only 45 minutes per episode, the show is a gathering of some serious comedic k-talent that generously gives us the smart, savvy, and sometimes completely bizarre after-work laugh trip we all need these days.
Stephen King once said that a "tragedy is a tragedy…but it takes a genius to make people laugh." That probably explains why there's only a handful of k-dramas that attempt 16 episodes of full comedy — the sheer brainpower needed to craft hilarious scenes and dole them out by the minute is not for every writer. This makes Gaus Electronics a rather courageous attempt to join that rather small cabal of comedy k-dramas, and it works quite well that we'd love to see more of it. Thanks to its whip-smart writing and extremely talented cast — especially to the comedic talents of Kwak Dong-yeon (Love in the Moonlight), Bae Hyun-sung (Our Blues), and forever villain Baek Hyun-jin (Political Fever) — you'll find yourself literally laughing out loudly from jokes that wouldn't have worked had they been given to lesser actors.
Kwak Dong-yeon and Go Sung-hee try to hide a secret from the entire office
The show doesn't even just poke fun at Korean work culture — it goes meta and pokes fun at how Korean work culture is depicted on TV. No product placements? No problem. Gaus Electronics makes their own post-episode "advertisements" which are more laughable than the real ones, and they even take time to mock coffee placements (watch out for "Mixim," their own instant coffee mix). They also poke fun at business hero worship (count the number of times "Elon Musk" is mentioned) and the secrets of corporate culture (polyamory, anyone?). But mostly it pokes fun at the lengths subordinates will go to prove their love and loyalty to the company (scrubbing the boss' back at a sauna? Sir, yes, sir!). If you've ever been a corporate slave, you'll certainly relate to the brown-nosing, the credit-grabbing, the 365-style office evaluations, and most especially, the embarrassment of office karaoke. But of course, this being a k-drama, there's also the expected tinge of heartbreak and some serious life lessons that simmer underneath the hilarity. Really, there's something in here for everyone.
How are these people still employed at Gaus? :D
But what truly makes Gaus' Marketing Team 3 shine is how they remain incredibly relatable despite the hilarious exaggerations. Anyone who's suffered under a horrible boss, been secretly in love with a colleague, hated their projects, been pressured to deliver on impossible deadlines, and learned to tolerate loathsome co-workers will see themselves in this scrappy team who somehow manages to stay employed despite their daily chaos. This show, in its wisdom, knows how we can hate our work and our bosses every hour of the day, but we will somehow find the strength to keep going back every Monday morning anyway.
Monday morning motivation?
Now, this is the part of the review where I shall take time to gush about the absolute gem that is Kwak Dong-yeon. A quick look at his impressive filmography will show that he's proved himself as a reliable working actor in the last decade. He has already worked alongside the big names: with Park Bo-gum in Love in the Moonlight, with Song Joong-ki in Vincenzo, and even scored a memorable cameo with Seo Yae-ji in It's Okay to Not Be Okay. He's certainly shown his talent for melodrama and nuance on the small screen and has proven he can work with the best of them. Gaus Electronics rightfully gives him the spotlight, and boy, does he ham it up. Not only does Kwak have great comedic timing and an impeccable poker face, he also dares to go all out when bizarre scenes call for it. What's more thrilling is that Kwak can turn up the heat when he needs to, and the handful of hot scenes with his love interest Ko Sung-hee in this show should convince everyone that he needs to be a rom-com lead in a mainstream show, stat!
We need Kwak Dong-yeon in a mainstream comedy drama ASAP!
Second only to Kwak's hilarious turn is the poker-faced comedic talent of Bae Hyun-sun, in a departure from the angsty teenage dad role we all saw him in the early episodes of Our Blues. Bae plays the secret chaebol heir Baek Ma-tan who insists on experiencing "ordinary" life at Gaus Electronics, but can't seem to hide his privileged upbringing. Bae is so consistently deadpan and hilariously naïve that he manages to carry the comedy when Kwak and the rest of the cast no longer can. Fearless forecast: if Bae keeps playing his cards right in comedy and drama, he'll definitely be an A-lister in a few years. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
This boy is going to be a big name one day, and Gwenchanoona called it :)
Even if the humor does taper off and slog through the middle of the show (it does hit the doldrums at around the sixth to the ninth episodes), the easy chemistry of the cast manages to keep the comedy afloat and the LOLs rolling. The show does have its fair share of physical comedy and some jokes land better than others, but as a whole, Gaus Electronics is a hoot and perfect for unwinding after work, best watched with a cold beer in hand.
Stream if: You're in the mood for something light and funny.
Skip if: Comedy isn't your jam.

Mississippi pastors paid price for segregation challenge
By Sam HodgesFeb. 8, 2016 | UMNS
The Rev. Joseph Reiff reads from his book "Born of Conviction: White Methodists and Mississippi's Closed Society" at a book release event in Abingdon, Va., on December 5, 2015. Photo by Sarah K. Reiff.
On Jan. 2, 1963, 28 white Methodist pastors in Mississippi published a statement titled "Born of Conviction." It amounted to a declaration of independence from the arch-segregationist views that seemed unassailable in their state.
The swift backlash included death threats, slashed tires and crosses burned in parsonage yards. Within 18 months, 17 of the pastors had bolted the state. Two others departed soon after, and the 20th had left by 1971.
Although big news in Mississippi at the time, the statement would eventually recede into the footnotes of civil rights history. For Joseph T. Reiff (rhymes with "life"), it was buried treasure.
"The story needed to be told, and I thought, ʽI can tell this story,'" he said.
Reiff, a United Methodist elder and religion professor at United Methodist-related Emory & Henry College in Virginia, spent 12 years balancing teaching and administrative duties with researching and writing the new book "Born of Conviction: White Methodists and Mississippi's Closed Society."
Published by Oxford University Press, it's the first full-length, scholarly account of the statement and its aftermath.
Among those grateful for Reiff's labor is the Rev. Jim Waits, who as a young Mississippi pastor not only signed but also helped craft the statement.
"I'm just impressed with his commitment to this project and his dedication over these many years," Waits, retired dean of Candler School of Theology, said of Reiff. "He's done more research than anybody would have ever expected."
The new book "Born of Conviction" tells of a 1963 statement published by 28 white Methodist pastors of Mississippi, challenging prevailing segregationist views. Dust jacket image courtesy Oxford University Press.
Cracking the ʽClosed Society'
Even among Southern states, Mississippi had a reputation for near lockstep white resistance to integration. "Mississippi: the Closed Society" was the title of a 1964 book by James Silver, a historian at the University of Mississippi. That university had seen two killed and hundreds injured in a Sept. 30, 1962 riot over the imminent enrollment of James Meredith as its first black student.
A cadre of young pastors in the Mississippi Conference felt compelled by events and the gospel to speak out. Waits joined the Revs. Maxie Dunnam, Jerry Furr and Jerry Trigg at Dunnam's southeast Mississippi fishing cabin and worked up a document of some 600 words.
"Born of the deep conviction of our souls as to what is morally right," they wrote, "we have been driven to seek the foundations of such convictions in the expressed witness of our Church."
The statement demanded freedom of the pulpit, affirmed the United Methodist Book of Discipline's stand against racial discrimination and insisted public schools should be kept open after desegregation. It also expressed opposition to communism.
"You look at the statement now, and it doesn't seem all that radical," Reiff said. "But given the context in which it was published, it was."
The drafters found 24 conference colleagues willing to sign. The statement came out in The Mississippi Methodist Advocate, with editor Sam Ashmore adding a note of support.
But reaction to the statement "was like a bomb exploding," the Rev. Rod Entrekin, one of the signers, would write later.
Reiff's book details the suffering some pastors and their families faced, including demands of dismissal, withheld pay and verbal harassment. The Rev. Joe Way and his family were so ostracized by his congregation that his 3-year-old daughter proclaimed tearfully, "Nobody loves us anymore."
An exodus began, and eventually 20 of the pastors would scatter, with enough going to the Southern California-Arizona Conference that they would constitute a celebrated "Mississippi Mafia."
But the "spoke out, forced out" narrative is too simple, Reiff writes.
He notes that internal Mississippi Conference politics played a big role in pastors wanting to leave. While some who signed faced hostility from their congregations, others, like Waits, saw little trouble.
Mississippi Conference Bishop Marvin Franklin did not support the signers, but the conference lay leader, J.P. Stafford, stood by them. The faculty of Millsaps College, a Methodist school in Jackson, Mississippi, and alma mater of many of the signers, also offered support.
Reiff argues that the story is all the more nuanced by the fact that eight pastors would remain in Mississippi. Some of those had a hard time, but they felt called to stick it out and work long-term for improved race relations.
"You have to applaud those who did stay," Waits said. "Many of them had significant ministries on the race question after the statement was issued."
Did the statement itself bring change, apart from causing or quickening the departure of some of the state's more progressive pastors?
Reiff believes it at least showed a crack in the Closed Society and gave voice to other white Mississippi Methodists who had moderate to liberal racial views.
He doesn't equate the pastors' commitment or risk to that of front-line activists, including Medgar Evers, a black Mississippian and NAACP field secretary who was assassinated in 1963.
"But (the statement signers) paid a price for saying something prophetic to the church," Reiff said.
A long labor of love
One could make the case that Reiff was born to write "Born of Conviction." Much of his childhood was in Jackson, where his father, Lee Reiff, taught religion at Millsaps. His mother, Gerry Reiff would, in later years, be an archivist for the Mississippi Conference.
Reiff, 61, would himself attend Millsaps and pastor churches in Mississippi before becoming a professor. As a boy, he watched with his family as police arrested a small group trying to integrate services at their church, Jackson's Capitol Street Methodist.
"The whole issue of how the white church, especially the white Methodist church, dealt with those issues in the ̛60s has been in the background of my consciousness throughout my life," Reiff said, noting that his parents were civil rights supporters.
In 2004, Reiff drove around the country to interview surviving signers of the statement. There were 20, and he got interviews with all but one.
Now, with the book finally out, just 14 signers are alive.
Finishing the book took years because of Reiff's commitments at Emory & Henry, but also because of further research and the challenge of writing a book with 28 protagonists.
"I took too long, but part of it was just trying to get my mind around, ʽHow I can best tell this story? How I can help readers get into it without getting bogged down?' " he said.
Reiff has begun to do events related to the book, and he'll speak at Millsaps on Feb. 18.
He's been hearing back positively from the surviving pastors.
"One of the signers told me early on that he didn't think anybody would be interested in this. I think I've proved him wrong."

38 United Methodists serve in 116th Congress
United Methodists comprise the fourth-largest religious group in a new Congress that has fewer Christians and slightly more religious diversity.
Complaints against Sessions dismissed
Conference leaders conclude church law doesn't apply to 'political actions' by the U.S. attorney general.
Order ending family separations welcomed
Still, United Methodists cautioned that details of any policy shift are important and stressed that the executive order isn't enough.

Door CDAC aims at antlerless-only deer hunt
Outdoors column by Kevin Naze
Door CDAC aims at antlerless-only deer hunt Outdoors column by Kevin Naze Check out this story on greenbaypressgazette.com: http://gbpg.net/2nAfv2H
Kevin Naze, For Gannett Wisconsin Media Published 1:14 p.m. CT March 17, 2017

Only a handful of members of the public attended Monday's County Deer Advisory Committee meeting at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources office in Sturgeon Bay, but that won't be the case next month.
Anticipating a huge turnout in response to recommending an antlerless-only hunting season this fall, the committee plans to hold its mid-April meeting at Sturgeon Bay High School.
They'll likely need the space.
A year ago, Waupaca County's committee — with 15 members of the public present at its March meeting — recommended an antlerless-only hunt.
One month later, 750 hunters packed the meeting, and the committee reversed its preliminary decision by a 4-1 vote.
Door CDAC chairman Dick Baudhuin, who runs the Sturgeon Bay meeting but doesn't vote, said it was a unanimous 5-0 count to hold an antlerless-only hunt, with two members out with excused absences.
"They talked it out, and unless something very different comes out through the deer metrics, I think this group might stick to its guns," Baudhuin said. "There aren't really any other tools out there to reduce the deer population."
In addition to the next meeting, there will be a public comment period in early April. Considering how controversial this subject is, it's likely that many hunters will buck the preliminary proposal.
Door and Kewaunee counties' deer herds are among the most productive in the state in terms of deer per square mile of range. More than 4,300 whitetails were shot in Door County last year, and more than 3,500 were taken in Kewaunee County.
The buck kill dropped slightly, possibly due to the gale opening day of the gun season as well as more hunters getting choosy about what they want to target.
Take a closer look at the local herd data, committee contacts and ways to comment at dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/cdac.html.
You can also get a detailed look at up-to-date deer metrics — information used to measure or evaluate various aspects of deer management — in any county at dnr.wi.gov/topic/WildlifeHabitat/deermetrics.html.
There's very little time left to comment on management plans for 13 State Natural Areas, including six in Door County and one in Brown. The original deadline has been extended to Tuesday.
Management plans are required for DNR properties to help guide management activities and development for public use. The properties are generally smaller, single-purpose properties lacking significant public use facilities.
Draft property management plans are proposed for Baileys Harbor Boreal Forest and Wetlands, Big and Little Marsh, Coffey Swamp, Cave Point-Clay Banks (Kellner Fen, Shivering Sands and Sturgeon Bay), Moonlight Bay Bedrock Beach and Thorp Pond in Door County, as well as Red Banks Alvar in Brown County.
Dick Baudhuin of Sturgeon Bay said he'd like to see a storage area near the water in Shivering Sands for canoes and skiffs as well as trail development and improvement by volunteers.
Take a closer look at any of the properties, see the draft plans and learn how to comment at dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/MasterPlanning/tier3.html.
Thousands of leftover spring wild turkey permits for Zone 2 in the fifth and sixth time periods go on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
The DNR is asking turkey hunters who purchase Conservation Patron licenses to do so prior in order to make the leftover permit process as quick and easy as possible.
A number of enhancements have been made to the GoWild.Wi.Gov site to allow license purchases with fewer clicks and speed up the rate at which customers will be able to transact business.
During the sale of the leftover permits, the system will use an online queue to assign random numbers at 10 a.m. to customers who enter the site between 9:45 and 10 a.m.
There is no benefit to entering the site prior to 9:45 a.m. Customers who enter after 10 a.m. will be added to the line in order of arrival.
You can also pick up leftover tags at the DNR Service Center or at any business with an automated licensing issuance system terminal.

The Dutch Supreme Court overturns Russia's decision to pay more than $ 50 billion to former Yukos shareholders
The Supreme Court of the Netherlands returned the case on the payment of compensation to the Russian Federation in the amount of $ 50 billion to the ex-shareholders of Yukos to the Amsterdam Court of Appeal. The proceedings in the Dutch courts have been going on for 17 years.
The lawsuit was initiated by former shareholders of the Yukos oil company, which was headed by Mikhail Khodorkovsky. In 2003, he and his partner Platon Lebedev were arrested and convicted on charges of embezzlement and tax evasion. The company came under the control of the state-owned enterprise Rosneft Igor Sechin.
In 2005, the nominees of 70% of Yukos shares Hulley Enterprises, Yukos Universal and Veteran Petroleum initiated arbitration proceedings in the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague (an intergovernmental institution established in 1899). An arbitral tribunal ruled in 2014 that the plaintiffs' investments had been illegally expropriated by the Russian authorities. The court decided to award the plaintiffs an unprecedented compensation of $ 50 billion, but the Russian authorities refused to pay it. At the moment, taking into account the accumulated interest, the amount is about $ 60 billion.
Since 2014, Russia has been trying to annul the decision of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, arguing that the arbitral tribunal did not have jurisdiction to consider a dispute on the basis of the multilateral Energy Charter Treaty (ECT), which the plaintiffs resorted to. Russia signed this treaty in 1994, applied it temporarily, but did not ratify it due to objections from the State Duma, and in 2009 it officially withdrew from the ECT.

Katya Kudashkina is a current Rotman Morning MBA (part-time) student and an award-winning competitive ballroom dancer. She is very involved in the Rotman community and takes advantage of the many global opportunities offered. She recently completed a China Study Tour with Rotman and is soon to go on exchange in Italy. Katya is an Associate with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB).
Tell us a little bit about yourself. What are your goals for doing the MBA?
I grew up in Russia and worked there for a number of years before coming to Canada. When I arrived, I didn't quite speak English and had to start learning from the beginning. I repeated my undergrad, and I changed my major from Engineering to Computer Science. Part of the reason for doing the MBA here is that I knew how business is done in Russia for example, but I had no background for doing business in North America. So I had no vocabulary even to speak to people about business. I wanted to learn how it is done here. First, I wanted to grow my career where I work right now. Eventually, I wanted to move out of the IT area towards the business side.
What's your current role at CCPIB?
Seven months ago, I switched from IT to the HR department. I used to work with finance systems in IT and I wanted to try something different, to try something on the business side. Currently, I'm with the HR Operations and Analytics team. My role involves HR analysis, which involves figuring out how HR as a department can support the business goals of the organization.
So you're in the Rotman Morning MBA part-time program, which means you're working full-time and studying at the same time. How do you find the work-study-life balance?
I connected with some alumni before I started at Rotman. One in particular gave me some really wise advice. He said that managing your calendar is key. The first thing I did when I got accepted at Rotman: I made sure all my calendars are synchronized – personal, school, work. My key is that I have everything in one place. Even my tea with my mom goes in my calendar. Once the time is booked, it's not moving anywhere. My time is already planned for this semester. I block out potential group project time. It might sound a bit extreme, but it works. You really have to be organized as a working professional. I take a couple of hours and plan it all ahead for a few months.
Katya is a competitive ballroom dancer.
My other key is to find people who are really flexible with me. For example, my vocal teacher can meet me at 10 AM or 10 PM. Also, my family has been very supportive all along. I have some friends who I don't see as often as I would like to but I'm not giving them up. They're still my friends. I used to cook before the MBA. You have to give up something. You can define what that something is. I'm a competitive dancer and I don't dance as often as before. But my 'often' was every day so you simply change your life to adjust. The MBA does change your life. You have to decide if you do want this change and you just go with it. If you don't want any changes you might as well just sit where you are and not do anything.
Thanks for being so candid. You're also very involved in Rotman! You're not only here to study, you're also involved in a lot of school and industry clubs. Why?
Two things. One, I believe that getting involved in all that Rotman has to offer is amazing for personal development. Two, I want to make an impact. I care what's happening around. I care about people, my class, the Rotman community. Also, we are the ones that create our brand – being involved and making an impact will be with us in the future.
When you come to Rotman, you can just get the three letters next to your name and you're done. Or, you can take every step and opportunity to develop yourself; to speak publicly, to interact with a large number of people, to work with bigger teams to create impact. The Graduate Business Council (GBC) gave me a great chance to impact a larger community. The Rotman community during the time that you're here is about 900 students, and we got the opportunity to create a culture for 900 students. It's a huge impact.
Do you have any personal accomplishments during your time at Rotman so far to share?
My recent trip to Kenya is one of my personal greatest accomplishments.* This August, I won a North American ballroom dance competition in the silver category. I was very happy because it was also the first time that I entered into the championship. This happened during my studies and in between my China Study Tour** and Kenya. In between China and Kenya trips I had to practice, practice, practice!
Getting elected as the Executive VP for GBC is also one of my personal accomplishments at Rotman. To get elected, you have to convince people why you're best for the role. Election happens in February and as school starts in September, most people have only gotten a few months to know you. During my year on the council, I think we did a good job to set a culture of partnership and integrity. It's a great team accomplishment.
The department move at work was also great, and I got a promotion this May, which I found out about during my China Study Tour.
I also helped my sister with art shows. The last one was a big art show, over 300 people came in.
You're definitely very busy! What advice would you give to women who are thinking of the MBA?
If women are considering a part-time MBA, they're looking for a change. My advice is to get confident and don't be afraid to do it. It'll open so many doors that you can't even imagine. It won't be easy, I'm not going to lie. You'll need the support of your family – the benefits of the MBA are worth it.
Would you recommend the Morning MBA?
I personally loved the Morning MBA for a number of reasons. Dance is so important to me and there's no way my dance teacher would do a 7AM class with me. I have to admit that I was not a morning person; but you get used to the schedule. Now, I get up early and I absolutely love it. The great benefit of doing your studies in the morning is that this leaves your evenings free to spend with your family, friends, or whatever activity you love to do.
How did you end up choosing Rotman as your MBA school?
I chose it specifically for the Morning MBA program. Without it, the school would not have been an option for me.
It's really the people who pulled me in. I chose Rotman because of where it stood in the rankings, for the Morning MBA program, and the people who were there. From the recruiting assistant director to the managing director of the program, it was really nice that everyone was so supportive. Everyone was ready to help. As a part-time student, I appreciate that there is all this flexibility and support.

LEGEND (PG)
D: Ridley Scott
20th Century Fox/Universal (Arnon Milchan)
UK 1985 (released 1986)
W: William Hjortsberg
DP: Alex Thomson
Ed: Terry Rawlings
Mus: Tangerine Dream (original version: Jerry Goldsmith)
PD: Assheton Gorton
Tom Cruise (Jack), Mia Sara (Princess Lily), Tim Curry (Darkness), David Bennett (Honeythorn Gump), Alice Playten (Blix), Billy Barty (Screwball)
Ridley Scott's flawed fantasy has some merits, visually it's amazing and the production design and makeup effects are absolutely fantastic.
The production itself was bereft with problems, principal photography was completed in 1984, but it took another year for the film to initially be released, before director Ridley Scott decided to re-edit the material for a 1986 mainstream American release as test screenings reacted badly to the cut already released in Europe.
The story had potential, but the film's assets are that it's more beautiful to look at than to listen to (especially with the awful music score in the US version).
Tom Cruise plays a young peasant boy who takes his beautiful young sweetheart to see the last remaining unicorns, but a satanic demon has plans for them and their magical horns, giving him the strength to turn day into night.
Tim Curry's menacing performance as the devilish "darkness" practically saves this film, which becomes quite mawkish and a little boring in places with the rest of the mythical creatures and it's unlikely to appeal to young children of today's generation.
Visually, it is a spectacle, but the story lacks any real depth.

Do it! Post your notes. I cannot wait to see this. Plus, it makes it so much easier to talk to people via going to see a movie vs. "you gotta read this book". You know? Anyways, just can't wait to see this film. Thanks for all your work.
The one thing that Dr. Esselstyn mentioned that changed my outlook was that you can be "heart-attack proof" with a total cholesterol of 150. Most people in the profession lead you to believe that 200 is a "good" number. For most people, not all, it is easy to change HDL, LDL, TRI, and even blood pressure with some simple lifestyle changes.
I first read The China Study a year or two ago. It came when I had, by chance, changed doctors from one who thought 200 was a good cholesterol number to one who didn't. The new doctor told me to eat healthy and offered to send me to a nutritionist. I declined because I find set diets difficult to follow.
Instead I removed all meat, fish, poultry, and dairy from my diet. My doctor approved and within a few months I had lost 20 pounds. I continued as a vegan for about a year and tried to get my exercise level up. My weight had more or less plateaued at that point.
Then I read Dr. Esselstyn's book and realized that I needed to remove oils, nuts, and avocados from my diet, too in order to lose weight. When I did that I lost about 5 more pounds and am still losing. I am still working on getting my exercise up as well. I figure I need to lose about 50 more pounds. I have gone off the diet from time to time while traveling or eating in restaurants for holidays. My last blood sugars and lipid studies were fine, but I am on lipitor and blood pressure medicine, so good levels are to be expected. For me the hard part is eating in restaurants. I can get a good vegan meal at most Asian restaurants, but not most non-Asian restaurants. Sometimes the people I am going out with don't want to go to an Asian restaurant.
The other problem is cooking two different kinds of meals. My husband has not decided to become a vegan and I end up cooking two different entrees each night. It is a lot of work, but worth it. I have spent my life as a gourmet home cook and this change has been difficult for me. Since I gave up fat, I find cooking very difficult. That is much harder than giving up meat and dairy. I have few decent low-fat vegan recipes and am trying new ones when I have time but sometimes I stand in front of the refrigerator and just stare, trying to figure out what I can eat.
Spinach linguine with tomato sauce and veggie burgers are staples in my diet. I ate so many beans at first that I became unable to digest them for a couple of months, but am fazing them back in successfully now.
I have been on the vegan diet for about 1 1/2 years and the low-fat vegan diet for about 2 months. I am committed to living a vegan life, but the switch has been challenging for me. Still, I would never go back after the solid scientific research presented by the Esselstyn, Campbell, and also Ornish. I notice more vegan products and whole grain products are appearing in the grocery stores. The owner of a restaurant I like, that has no vegan food, told me that her own mother had recently become vegan because of health problems and that her mother couldn't find anything to eat in her restaurant. She plans to add vegan dishes for her. I told her that she would see more of me if she did.
Drs. Campbell, Esselstyn, and Ornish have started a revolution. It is slowly catching on as the word gets out that our diet is killing us. I look forward to seeing the film when it comes out. I suspect it will get easier to stay vegan as grocery stores and restaurants offer more vegan products and as it becomes more common to be vegan.
I consider myself a foodie and I haven't sacrificed artistic quality while eating a predominantly plant based diet. I live in a place with an abundance of local artisan food producers and inspiration for beautiful plant based meals is everywhere. With a few good cookbooks that have healthy recipes and beautiful photos it's easy to transition over from the traditional meat/animal based dishes to a plant based diet. I don't entirely avoid animal products, but they form the very tip of what I consider a healthy food pyramid and are treats, not staples.
I have considered going trying to base my diet towards more fruits and vegetables and less meat. And also seen that that milk is for babies and animals....I hope to accomplish a substantial decrease and at least make it more possible for my kids to become acustom to eating a "predominantly plant based diet" and maybe decreasing my health risks, untimately prolonging my life.
I would like to learn to cook plant-based dishes/ meals. Does a cookbook focusing on EASY recipes come to mind that you would suggest? Weight is not the main concern, so a little healthy fat such as avocado, olive & coconut oils are ok.

Ladies, gentlemen, and friends good morning!
I am very pleased to attend the inaugural conference of the 100,000 Strong Foundation among friends here today! Since President Obama first announced the 100,000 Strong Initiative in 2009, approximately 68,000 Americans have gone to study abroad in China. The initiative has borne fruit for China-US people-to-people exchange. The establishment of the 100,000 Strong Foundation has provided not only a new pathway but also fresh drive for implementing the initiative and deepening people-to-people exchanges. I would like to express my admiration for the visionary and creative people driving this initiative. I sincerely appreciate all the contributions made toward strengthening China-US people-to-people exchange.
Today on China's college campuses, one can meet an increasing number of young Americans studying under the initiative, whose progress amazes us. Together with their Chinese counterparts, they form a new force dedicated to developing a closer friendship between our two peoples. I see in them the limitless vigor of youth and infinite charm.
This visit is in part to implement the important agreement reached between our two presidents and facilitate the first China-US High-Level Consultation on People-to-People Exchange (CPE) since the leadership changes in both governments. The central theme is "Youth and Innovation." We already announced the China-US Young Politicians Program that will be launched in 2014. We will also further promote the China-US Student Ambassadors Program and will initiate the China-US Young Entrepreneurs Social Creativity Program. We believe all of these programs will broaden the channels for China-US communication.
Ladies and gentlemen, the seeds of friendship are most likely to take root in our young peoples' minds. New vigor and vitality will continue to permeate China-US relations, as more and more young people get involved in China-US people-to-people exchange. We should move forward with a holistic understanding of China-US relations, and flow with the tide of our time. We should promote bilateral understanding in our youth, with mutual respect and trust in order to establish a new model of great power relations between China and the US, forging together a better future.
First, we must look to the future. We must embed youth exchange more deeply into China-US relations through broadening channels of communication and building new forms and levels of exchange.
Second, we must strengthen our leadership. We must encourage more young students to study abroad in the one another's nations. The Chinese government not only encourages our young people to study abroad, we also welcome young Americans to study in China.
Third, we must pool our collective strength. We must empower more people to support and participate in China-US people-to-people exchange.
The China-US friendship is rooted in our people and our hopes and aspirations embodied by our young people. I noticed that the title of the conference today is "Investing in US-China Relations, One Student at a Time." Indeed, investing in our youth is investing in the future. I call upon all those who value China-US relations, all those who care about our young people, from all walks of life, to work together so that the Sino-American partnership may rest in good hands, so that the torch may pass securely from one generation to the next. History will prove that our efforts here today for youth exchange between our two countries will, without a doubt, become the most valuable resource for the future of China-US relations.

Now Russia Is Demanding US Stop Spying Near Its Borders After Buzzing Navy Spy Plane
The Kremlin looks to be using the intercepts to try and force the United States to accept a new status quo around Crimea.
By Joseph TrevithickFebruary 1, 2018
The Russian Ministry of Defense has mocked the crews of American spy planes as overly cautious and suggested the United States either stop such missions near its borders or agree to a set of rules governing those flight. The official statement comes after the U.S. Navy released half a dozen videos showing one of Russia's Su-27 Flanker series fighter jets flying dangerously close to an EP-3E Aries II intelligence aircraft in international air space over the Black Sea.
The inciting incident occurred on Jan. 29, 2018, as the Navy's Aries II conducted a routine mission in the Black Sea near Ukraine and its Russian-occupied Crimea region. The Kremlin says Crimea is part of its national territory and developed a major military presence there, including advanced fighter aircraft and surface-to-air missiles, since seizing control of it in March 2014.

The Russian military "will continue to provide robust defense of the borders of Russian airspace," the statement from the country's Defense Ministry on Feb. 1, 2018 said, according to quasi-state outlet RT. "If the realization of this fact by American pilots causes depression and phobias, we recommend that the American side either exclude flying near Russian borders in the future or return to the negotiations table and agree on a set of rules for such flights."
The United States has already made it clear that it believes the actions of the Russian pilot were dangerously aggressive, with the Su-27 flying within five feet of the four-engine turboprop spy plane at times during its nearly 3 hour long intercept. The Flanker then jammed itself in front of the EP-3E, leaving only an estimated 10 feet between the two planes and shaking the crew onboard the American aircraft, before departing the area, according to the U.S. Navy.

"For the Russian fighter aircraft to fly this close to the U.S. Navy aircraft, especially for extended periods of time, is unsafe," U.S. Navy Captain Bill Ellis, commander of Task Force 67, which oversees the service's patrol and intelligence gathering aircraft in Europe and Africa, said in his own statement on Jan. 31, 2018. "The smallest lapse of focus or error in airmanship by the intercepting aircrew can have disastrous consequences. There is no margin for error and insufficient time or space for our aircrews to take corrective action."
The EP-3E subsequently aborted its mission and returned to base. The Navy has now released a total of six video clips of the incident which notably show the Su-27 was armed with a mix of semi-active radar homing and infrared homing versions of the R-27 air-to-air missile during the intercept.
The five additional clips the Navy made public on Jan. 31, 2018 are seen below.
"The maneuvers of the Russian fighter jet on January 29 were standard, absolutely legal and perfectly safe for the American surveillance plane," the Russian Ministry insisted in its February 1st, 2018 statement. "When NATO fighter jets conduct similar maneuvers towards Russian military planes on patrol over the Baltic, the Barents, the Norwegian, the North or any other sea, they do not affect the Russian crews in the slightest way."
The Kremlin has not provided any associated evidence to bolster its claims that NATO jets routinely perform similarly unsafe maneuvers when intercepting and otherwise monitoring its aircraft in international airspace. In June 2017, Russia did release a video showing another Flanker type fighter placing itself between a Dutch F-16AM fighter jet and a Tu-154 VIP plane carrying the country's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. The Viper never appeared to be dangerously close to either Russian aircraft, though.
It is true that these contested intercepts are hardly out of the ordinary. They've become even more pronounced as Russia's relations have deteriorated with the United States, other NATO members, and countries along its borders that aren't part of the bloc, but are aligned with Western Europe.
They've even spread to Syria, where U.S. and Russian military aircraft regularly run into each other, sometimes almost literally. This has occurred despite a formal agreement between the two countries that is supposed to keep their planes separated specifically to avoid any dangerous interactions.
The video below shows U.S. Air Force F-15C Eagle fighter jets forward deployed in Lithuania intercepting Russian Su-30 Flanker-Cs in 2017.
But the Kremlin's new appeal to stop the flights near its borders entirely or adopt a bilateral understanding is a significant development. It underscores a separate and worrying breakdown in long-standing arms control treaties and other basic norms, which we at The War Zone have previously discussed in depth here.
Notably in relation to this incident in the Black Sea, the Russian government has already blocked U.S. surveillance flights over its Kaliningrad enclave on the Baltic Sea, as well as Chechnya and South Ossetia, in violation of the Open Skies Treaty. That deal is supposed to provide foreign countries with a way to legally observe others' peacetime military movements and strategic posture in order to promote transparency, stability, and help with treaty verification.
It's worth noting that South Ossetia is not part of Russia, even by the Kremlin's own assertions, at least as of yet. The United States and the bulk of the international community agree that it is integral part of Georgia, despite the region's declaration of independence following a brief war in 2008 between Russian "peacekeepers" and Georgian forces. Russia does seem to be quietly working toward formally annexing the province, though.

Now, it appears Russia might be looking for new ways to block military flights near Crimea. Though it did mention American and NATO spy flights elsewhere, the Russian Ministry of Defense's statement focused heavily on reiterating the country's claim to the region.
"We would like to address the commander of the 67th Task Force of the 6th Fleet Bill Ellis with a reminder Crimea is an integral part of Russia," the official statement said, according to TASS. The Russian state-run outlet added that "the Russian military believes that when it dispatches air pilots on reconnaissance missions in this part of the Black Sea the United States should keep in mind that they will encounter Russian fighters, and not Ukrainian partners, or supply all crews with updated maps showing the correct borders of Russia's airspace."
Russian aircraft have already harassed American and NATO warships operating in the Black Sea on numerous occasions. In February 2017, the Pentagon complained about two Russian Su-24 Frencer swing-wing combat aircraft and an Il-38 May maritime patrol aircraft making provocatively low passes near the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Porter as it sailed through the body of water.
The United States is unlikely to respond to the Russian demands to curtail its military activities in international airspace. The U.S. Navy's initial statement said that both parties have a clear right to operate in those neutral spaces, but that it is the Kremlin's forces that haven't been abiding by international standards for doing so.

The U.S. government has not had good experiences with attempting to come to bilateral understandings about surveillance flights, even when they're done at the highest levels, either. In 2015, the United States struck just such a deal with China outlining rules for the intercepts themselves and establishing an hotline in case of any apparent miscommunication. This had followed years of dangerous intercepts over various areas of the Pacific, particularly the East China Sea and South China Sea, most notably an incident in 2001 that left a Chinese pilot presumed dead and another EP-3E severely damaged and stranded with its crew on China's Hainan Island.
This didn't stop the aggressive encounters and the Navy subsequently installed special camera pods on its Aries II aircraft to better capture evidence the incidents. These types of additional measures haven't prompted China to change course, either, with a People's Liberation Army Air Force Su-30MKK Flanker buzzing a WC-135C Constant Phoenix atmospheric sampling plane over the East China Sea in May 2017.
So, with regards to Russia, the U.S. military would likely be more inclined to reiterate its inherent rights, possibly in the form of more visible responses to Russian aircraft making routine trips in and around Europe or elsewhere, additional surveillance missions near Russia's borders, or by adding its own armed escorts to those flights, all of which would require a significant expenditure of manpower and other resources. Any such escalation could prompt responses in kind from Kremlin.
Both sides could also appeal directly to international governing bodies to try and secure formal decisions to bolster their claims about the others' violations of various treaties and norms, real or imagined, as well. This could have a cascading impact on other international arrangements, though, as they become diplomatic bargaining chips.
Whatever does happen, the Russians seem intent on using all the tools available to indirectly renegotiate various international agreements and redraw various boundaries to suit their own interests. This will only increase the likelihood of miscalculations and mistakes, though, which could easily turn a dangerous intercept into a much more serious incident.

Covid-19: What we know about the new type of coronavirus in the UK
by AB Gentle on Monday, December 21, 2020 in International NEWS
A new form of cholera has been linked to a series of stricter rules to prevent the spread of the disease in the UK, Scotland and Wales during the Christmas holidays, which has further plunged the population into crisis. .
How did a disease that did not exist before become so common in just two months?
Advisers to the government on the spread of the disease say they think the type of disease is more prevalent than others.
They say that at first it is more frightening, because it contains so many other complex things.
As I have written before, the virus changes in the human body, so it is important to note how the disease changes.
Why is this type of public outrage?
So there are three things that go into that. which are the attractions.
1. It is a form of rapid change in the human body
2. It also has access to all parts of the body
3. The results of the research so far also show that some of the parts of the body that the new species may be affected include other human genes.
So all these things come together in a virus that is spreading in the community like wildfire.
How fast is it spreading?
It was first discovered in September, and in December it was found that almost a quarter of those infected in the UK were of all types, up to two-thirds in December. .
Come and see how this type of disease draws a line in the results of those who suffer from coronary heart disease.
Calculators estimate the number of cases of different types of coronary heart disease in this case.
Figures released by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson indicate that the number of cases may be as high as 70 per cent in the near future.
But there is still a question mark over whether it is more contagious than all other types of disease.
Either a new strain of the virus has appeared in a patient in the UK, or it has been imported from another country, where coronary heart disease cannot be tracked as well as it should.
A new strain of the disease can be found in all parts of the UK, except Northern Ireland.
Data from Nextstrain, which monitors the new strain, suggests it has been found in countries including Denmark and Australia, and both have been imported from the UK.
A new strain of the disease has also been spotted in South Africa.
Where did this new strain of the disease originate?
In fact, the nature of the disease is changing dramatically.
The most convincing explanation is that the new strain emerged from a patient whose immune system was weakened to the point of being unable to control the disease.
As a result, her body develops into a new type of disease, in which she develops and reproduces.
Can he kill?
There is no evidence that this is happening, although it needs to be monitored.
However, an increase in the number of cases can lead to an increase in the number of hospitalizations.
Can the vaccine fight this type of corona?
It can almost be said yes, because all three pre-vaccines contain certain chemicals that protect a person from infection that continues to spread now.
These vaccines train your body's immune system to fight off the diseases that are trying to enter your body, so even if the disease re-emerges contrary to what is known, the immune system will continue to fight it relentlessly.
