'A Cosmic Rhythm With Each Stroke' Review: Art and Music Meet at the Met
Last week in a fifth-floor gallery of the Met Breuer, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's new outpost for modern and contemporary works, trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith hunched his shoulders, bent his knees and pointed his trumpet downward. Seated at a grand piano, Vijay Iyer began playing a soft upward ripple of notes. During their duet performance, Mr. Iyer occasionally reached for the laptop resting on his piano to trigger sounds—a gentle drone at one point, a clear bassline at another—or swiveled to the Fender Rhodes electric piano, on which he displayed uncanny delicacy. Mr. Smith played trumpet as he always has: with mesmerizing focus, little vibrato and a tone that can be either boldly declarative or soft to the point of breaking.
Here was the premiere of "A Cosmic Rhythm With Each Stroke," a collaborative suite by Messrs. Iyer and Smith, commissioned by the Met Museum and inspired by the work of Indian modernist artist Nasreen Mohamedi (1937-1990). Audience members who had walked through a second-floor exhibition of Mohamedi's work found passages from her journals, from which titles for this suite and its seven sections were drawn. In Mohamedi's paintings, photographs and especially her drawings, they saw hand-rendered patterns of breathtaking diligence, suggesting precise architecture or the randomness of sand drifts, or both. At the concert, they could sense connections between Mohamedi's creations and the ways in which Messrs. Smith and Iyer sought beauty through orderly repetition and abstract flow, in how they toyed with proportions of sound and silence to explore emptiness and meaning.
Mohamedi's work is riveting on display at the museum. Yet it loses power in smaller reproduction, as with the untitled 1970 drawing on the cover of the new ECM recording by Messrs. Iyer and Smith, "A Cosmic Rhythm With Each Stroke," which presents their collaborative suite bookended by two other compositions. The reverse is true of the music. As reproduced through pristine studio recording, its effect is magnified and clarified. An opening section, "All Becomes Alive," lures listeners with long declarative tones from Mr. Smith's trumpet underscored by a hollow drone. Often, as in "Labyrinths," Messrs. Iyer and Smith manage to conflate seemingly disjointed musical phrases with the casualness of conversation. "Uncut Emeralds" is spare and gestural, yet precisely calibrated. "A Cold Fire" sounds as if about to combust. Two sections, "A Divine Courage" and "Notes on Water," suggest ballads tantalizingly out of reach.
If this suite is a shared response to Mohamedi's artwork, it more so expresses the relationship shared by Mr. Iyer, 44, and Mr. Smith, 74, who is one of his closest mentors. "This album is a document of how we create together," Mr. Iyer told me in an interview. That connection began in 2005, when Mr. Iyer began a five-year association with Mr. Smith's Golden Quartet. In that group, Mr. Iyer was introduced to "ankhrasmation," Mr. Smith's musical system that is informed but not constrained by jazz, and distinguished most starkly by a rhythmic flexibility that produces exquisite tensions and releases.
According to Mr. Iyer's liner note to the new CD, the two musicians became a "unit within the unit, generating spontaneous duo episodes as formal links." "We had established a certain kinetic energy," Mr. Smith said in an interview. The two musicians first performed in duet at the Stone, in New York's East Village, in early 2015, and felt inspired to pursue the format further. Mr. Iyer's appointment as artist-in-residence at the Met Museum introduced him to Mohamedi's work. When the museum offered a commission to compose a piece in response, he turned to Mr. Smith as a collaborator.
Mr. Smith, whose 4-CD 2012 opus "Ten Freedom Summers" was a Pulitzer Prize finalist, is among the influential masters formatively affiliated with Chicago's Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. Mr. Iyer, who was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2013, stands tall among a generation whose ideas have been largely shaped by that legacy—which spanned musical genres and artistic disciplines, and blurred lines between composition and improvisation as well as between individual creation and collective expression. Such a spirit was evident in Mr. Smith's earliest ECM recording, 1979's "Divine Love," and Mr. Iyer's 2014 ECM debut, "Mutations."
Here, sparked by the rigor and meditative power of Mohamedi's art, that musical connection across generations finds a new frame.

Q: How do I reference a piece of data's name with a '-' in it, using react/JS? I am looking to reference the total-fees property of an object:
The object
In react, the '-' causes problems in referencing this property. I have tried using camelCase, and quotations marks, but no luck.
The code attempt

A: Got it :D
data.row.original['total-fees']

A: You are using negate symbol(!) with the key, data.row.original.total-fees. What this means is that your return statement will run only when data.row.original.total-fees is false or 0, but it is actually null.
So, what you can try is:
1). console.log(data.row.original.total-fees);  //output: null
2). if(data.row.original.total-fees===null) return "Response";

Medecins Sans Frontieres confirms rape cases at Moria migrant camp
Migrants flee from the camp of Moria on Lesvos island. Photo: Archive AAP via EPA/STRATIS BALASKAS
19 October 2018 9:12am
Moria camp, in Lesvos is currently home to 9,000 asylum seekers when it only has capacity to hold 3,000. Three thousand is approximately the number of minors that live in the Moria camp, which Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) called "a giant open-air mental asylum" back in August referring to the overcrowding and dire sanitary conditions.
According to MSF and UN reports, asylum seekers live in groups of up to 30 people, crammed into tents designated for four or living in metal containers between rubbish and excrement. Each day individuals from various ethnic groups wait over four hours in line for a meal, a situation that often results into brawls.
Aid groups have been reporting gang rapes of women attacked inside the camp's toilets while physicians and psychologists have repeatedly reported that minors are constantly sexual targets.
Earlier this week, the administration of the Moria migrant and refugee camp on Lesvos refuted the statement of an MSF representative published in the media saying that since January MSF had treated 23 victims of sexual abuse at the facility, including nine minors. The Moria camp administration labelled the claims false.
In response MSF issue another statement on Wednesday saying that the medical NGO is "intensely worried by the fact that incidents of sexual abuse and rape that took place in Moria on Lesvos are disregarded and labeled untrue by the administration itself".
The statement added that "MSF informed the police of all the incidents involving minors and that it is the responsibility of law enforcement authorities to investigate the claims".
"Our teams see incidents of sexual violence and abuse, suicide attempts, self-harm and serious mental health effects on children, teenagers and adults every day. And this is a fact that cannot be denied by anyone," MSF concluded.
Meanwhile, according to the New York based International Rescue Committee "approximately 84 people share a single shower, and 72 people share a toilet. The sewage system is so strained that raw sewage has been known to reach the mattresses where children sleep" – conditions that only exacerbate the trauma and memories of war and death.
"Although the vast majority of migrants who arrive in Moria are traumatised, after having fled from violent conflicts in their home countries, conditions in the camp have exacerbated their trauma," said Luca Fontana, field coordinator of MSF on the island.
"After two years, some are still awaiting transferral, even if they know they could be deported to Turkey at a moment's notice. I've worked in camps infested with Ebola in Sierra Leone and Guinea, but I guarantee you that this is the worst situation I've ever seen," Fontana stressed while referring to records of minors attempting suicide at the camp.

What might happen in a recall election for a governor and four state senators?
The date is set: June 5, 2012. The event? The recall election for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and four of Wisconsin's state senators. Such a vote, historically unprecedented, is a milestone. Still, what will happen remains to be seen, although Nation writer John Nichols has a few ideas, which he shared on The Ed Show last night.
Watch the clip to learn about what steps Walker might try to take before June, which candidates might run in the election and what the outcome might be.

Josh explains how to be funny
I hate Mondays!
Sunday, Jul 22, 2007 Comments are closed
Metapost: Best comments week comics forever!
Hey, everybody, it's time for this week's comment of the week:
FBOFW: "Daddy, tell us about the pets you had before I was born! That would be so interesting. Hold the book and tell me not to touch the pictures, I love that! Later, take me with you while you do your banking and wait on line at the DMV." –Hogen Mogen
It was really hard to pick this week's top comments, as there were many, many funny contenders:
"That Sophie is one lucky girl! The bestest thing you can do for a 10-year-old global-warming nerd who says things like 'the data speaks for itself!' is to take her on a tour of a winery. Because when she grows up into a lonely geek with no one to talk to but her Al Gore DVDs, she'll be glad to know which wines will keep her drunkest at night." –BigTed
"My money is definitely on Tim not being dead, but somehow something more boring and devoid of dramatic possibility than dead." –Emily
"This woman is either really bad at praying, or really good at praying and hates her husband-corpse." –DropDeadGorgias
"I like that Spider-Man just walks around the house is his red unitard. He probably sleeps in it, too. That thing must have the B.O. of a thousand troubled nights." –Tats
"I'm wondering when Dee's going to start thinking hard about pulling a Kelpforth on the entire Maison de Patterson and taking it down to its smoldering, glowing embers. 'Do you think your mom would mind if we removed all trace of her existence here for 30 years by immolation?'" –bats :[
"The more I read Pluggers, the more I suspect the title comes from attempting to 'plug' the hole inside them. Pluggers gorge themselves on suet and sugar because they feel empty inside. Pluggers love their trucks and their remote controls, because they feel betrayed by everything else. Pluggers lack the ability to really feel, so they yearn to feel anything, even pain." –Edward
"Hilary is lying on her stomach, which means only one thing: Sally Forth never invested in an oral thermometer. No wonder Hilary looks queasy."–McManx
"And what's with [Drew's] non-phone-holding hand? I mean, I know that the intention is for him to be cradling his slick-haired head and shielding it from the rock-hard pillow, but it looks more as if he's cupping it over his ear (perhaps to drown out the deafening sound of his own ennui)." –Spiny Norman
"Nothing says 'prepare for the sexing' like Dr. Drew's mom jeans." –Andsheewas
"Funky Winkerbean: Yeah, the cancer thing is kind of a downer, but I think it's important for kids to realize that life isn't a bowl of cherries, but rather a series of disappointments that you've gotta overcome with the help of Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, and Jesus Christ." –Jamus the Bartender (channeling Dick Tracy's crimestopper notebook)
"Now that the one-legged man has arrived, surely it won't be long before the ass-kicking contest commences." –KarenD
"The real joke in Crankshaft is that he knows his joke will be misunderstood. He's intentionally telling a non-joke because he knows everyone has to pretend it's funny — either because they want to respect their elders, or because they know he's this close. The third panel would be him going, 'Get it? Eh? Eh?' as he jabs his elbow into a stranger's ribs, hard." –Plus a constant
"The flip side is the Family Circus, where your monstrous hydrocephalic children ambush you with little 'Am I cute yet?' moments. The only thing that makes FC tolerable is imagining that each day's strip is followed by the parents screaming in horror, tying their children in a bag and throwing them in the river. But every night they wake to the slap slap slap of little wet feet as the kids file back in through the door, blank-eyed and expressionless." –Old Bean
"It's funny to me that most of you seem to be handling this Mary Worth story line so well, because I just find it unfathomably disgusting. Every day it runs another little piece of me dies. And really, what's the appeal of it to Mary Worth's target audience? Are they hoping that people who have been married 50 years and are going senile won't remember what actual flirting is like?" –Christopher
"I think the writer of Mary Worth probably hasn't been on a date in decades and, in an attempt to make the banter relevant to the kids these days, trawled a few internet dating sites to see how people described their interests, then copied it verbatim. If the dialogue continued, it would be some paraphrase of 'I like to go out and have a good time, but I also like to curl up and watch a movie,' thus covering the entire spectrum of social activity bookended between serial rapist and coma patient." –PD
"Darin, having just gotten laid, sports the same expression he would have if he were diagnosed with testicular cancer. Actually, substitute 'will' for 'would' and 'when' for 'if.'" –Artist formerly known as Ben
"Pluggers know nobody is ever going to see them naked again for the rest of their lives." –Donald The Anarchist
"This meal in MW seems to be some kind of contest to use the most inappropriate flatware. Today Drew one-ups Dawn's oyster fork by eating his creamed corn with a butter knife. Or maybe he's actually about to eat a big hunk o' butter with part of an Erector set. I'm not sure which." –treedweller

City has six months to steer budget away from cliff

AGENDA: Cherriots considers lowering fares, plans for e-fare January 25, 2023
The cost of keeping Salem's firefighters at the ready, roads in good repair and water flowing to city taps is outpacing city revenue at an unsustainable pace, city officials said Wednesday.
City officials will spend the next six months attempting to balance a budget for 2024 while facing a loss of federal Covid funding that has helped bridge gaps.
During Wednesday's budget committee meeting, chief financial officer Josh Eggleston presented the city's five-year financial forecast that spelled trouble for the general and transportation funds. Both will run out of reserves by 2028 as spending continues to outpace revenue.
The city's general fund pays for most core city services, including police and fire. The transportation fund pays for streets, traffic signals, bridges and sidewalks. The two account for 25% of the city's overall 2023 budget.
City Manager Keith Stahley said that the city's top priority before it adopts the budget this summer is to plan for fiscal sustainability.
"Over the past 10 years, council and staff have done a remarkable job in stitching things together, making do and finding workarounds. I think we're beyond that point presently," City Manager Keith Stahley said. "We can't work smarter, or do more with less any longer. That well has gone dry. We literally have wrung this system and organization dry."
During the meeting, the city focused on three of its 25 total funds: transportation services, utility and general. Of the three, utility was the only financially stable one, while the other two were defined as most at risk.
"We can increase our revenues, or decrease our expenses. But we have to do one or the other," Stahley said.
The forecast, presented by chief financial officer Josh Eggleston, outlined the city's need to adjust to a growing community while meeting expectations and future needs.
Moss Adams, a consulting and wealth management firm hired by the city, presented its findings at the meeting. Their analysis compared Salem to eight peer cities of comparable size and services, including Eugene.
The firm found Salem's internal service functions, like human resources and IT, are understaffed, underfunded and at a lower capacity than the other cities. While many cities are facing comparable budget issues, the firm said Salem is unique in the urgency of its five-year timeline.
Emergency and public safety services make up about 59% of the general fund's expenses. The fund gets over half of its revenue from property taxes.
By law, Oregon cities and counties can raise property taxes at most 3% per year. City officials have repeatedly said that's not enough to keep up with rising labor and material costs, particularly with inflation high over the past year.
With a baseline that assumes no new staffing or services, the forecast for fiscal year 2024 shows the general fund's net expenditures at $170.1 million, with revenue at $160.6 million.
The general fund is forecasted to start the 2024 fiscal year with a beginning fund balance of $37.1 million, essentially used like a checking account that will be eaten away at until it goes negative by 2028 if no changes are made.
Eggleston noted that the 2019 city operations fee, which charged single-family homes $8 per month, narrowed the gap between expenditures and revenues. Funds were boosted by one-time federal pandemic relief funding, which is expected to run out in 2024.
Wednesday's meeting did not discuss potential revenue options in detail, but Mayor Chris Hoy told Salem Reporter on Thursday that several options are on the table.
The city considered asking voters to approve a payroll tax in 2020, but pulled their plans when the pandemic hit.
"The pandemic had just started, and we weren't sure what was going to happen, and it turns out that was probably a really good move," Hoy said. "That's been an active conversation."
The city is also seeking legislation this session which would give Salem annual state payments to compensate the city for the extra costs associated with being the capital.
Hoy said Salem firefighters and medics respond to over 3,000 calls annually to state facilities, primarily prisons and the Oregon State Hospital. The city also loses out on property tax revenue because a high percentage of land is state-owned and thus tax exempt.
Salem's transportation fund, also at risk, is forecasted to have expenditures of $19.1 million that outpace its revenues of $17.9 million. The fund's balance of $6.37 million is projected to run out around 2028, when the fund will go negative.
During the meeting, the committee briefly discussed a potential fuel tax, which would be brought to voters if pursued.
That was one suggestion made by a 2018 city task force which explored options for increasing revenue and balancing the budget. The task force's projections found a 6 cent per gallon tax would provide around $4.8 million annually.
"Which, for the transportation fund, is a significant amount of money," Eggleston said.
Salemites can now try their hand at balancing the city's budget themselves with a newly launched online tool, called the Transparent Reporting and Analytics for Residents Portal.
The site, which staff introduced at the meeting, allows users to evaluate the city's annual scorecard, budget and performance and try hypothetical changes to the data including revenue options.
The next step for budget planning is a council policy agenda work session on Jan. 17. The budget committee's next meeting will be April 19, with several meetings before the budget adoption deadline in June.
"Our tax system is broken in Oregon. And the way we fund municipal governments is broken and revenue doesn't keep up with the growth," Hoy said to Salem Reporter. "And so we have to do these creative things to try to find more revenue to deliver the services that the community needs."

WWE Signs Weightlifting Champion To A Three Year Deal
The United Kingdom's Evening Post is reporting that WWE has signed Rob Terry to a three-year developmental contract. Rob Terry is a 28-year-old weightlifting champion from Wales and moved to America last October taking part in a special training program. He is currently signed to Florida Championship Wrestling.
Rob Terry is 6ft 5ins and 285 pounds, he caught Vince McMahon's eye after winning virtually every natural bodybuilding event in Britain and Europe according to the article.
"It was quite daunting at first because I had no experience," he said. "I'm signed up to the Florida Championship Wrestling franchise, which is the feeder to the WWE. Some of the other guys there have been on the amateur wrestling circuit for years."
"I also got to go along to Wrestlemania, which was mind-blowing because I got to chat one-on-one with some big names like Triple H. He was a really down-to-earth guy and it was great to meet him because he is one of my heroes. He's also built very big like me and gave me plenty of good advice." Terry said.
He also added, "I know it's going to take time to get there, but I'm determined to make it in WWE."
The article also mentions that he moved to Florida with his 22-year-old future wife Sarah from Wales who has been in full support of the future star. The complete article can be read at this link.

It's not often you'd actually come to thank a viral worm for something, but it seems this particular one, that spread through the internet in 2008, is responsible for the comeback of 80's legend Rick Astley. Although a virus is no laughing matter, the fact that thousands of websites played out the video for 80's classic 'Never Gonna Give You Up' instead of displaying the right pages, is quite amusing. Rick became a worldwide news story once again, and if you fast forward to the present day, then this means a comeback, and a brand new single!
Having been born just short of the 80's, I grew up on a musical diet that sometimes included Rick Astley. But I grew out of him, and when I heard he was releasing a new single, I was expecting a cheesey pop track. What he's given us with 'Lights Out' however, is a grown up, much more mature, but rather cool blend of pop, with a slight twist of indie. It's an atmospheric track, with some hooks in the chorus, and an emotive (but not overly so) storyline about 'lost love'. It's an easy to listen to track, that I'd recommend you all have a listen to. Even though we love the 80's, it's quite interesting to hear stars from that era sing something new, and this song is a winner for me.
'Lights Out' is released on June 7th 2010, followed by some gig dates throughout June/July/August, including the 80's Rewind Festival in Henley. For more information please visit www.rickastley.co.uk.

Earning cash, brick by brick
Home / Blog / Earning cash, brick by brick
By Isaac Msiska
The year is 2016. Gelevaziyo Benson, a young man in his mid-twenties has just completed his secondary school education and is waiting for the next step. That next step is to study the art of building houses. That is his long-term passion. His uncle is in the building trade and the structures he builds, coupled with the money he makes from the career is Gelevaziyo's source of inspiration. He wants to emulate the uncle. With this high ambitions in mind, the young man looks forward to a rewarding career, just like his uncle.
So, when a nearest public community technical college advertises for places in its vocational training programme, Gelevaziyo believes he has finally found the opportunity he was seeking. He wastes no time but jumps in and applies for a bricklaying course. He keeps telling himself that he would be among the successful intake of that year.
He is wrong.
When the list of successful candidates is released, his name is not there. Gelevaziyo never lets this moment discourage him so he tries applying to other public colleges but he never makes it to any of these colleges. The young man is disappointed and decides to give up the chase and give up his dream of pursuing a trade in building. In Malawi, Gelevaziyo's story is not news. Competition for places at government run vocational technical colleges is very stiff and each year, hundreds of young men and women who apply for places are left out. The alternative to public technical colleges is enrolling at privately run vocational colleges but most young people like Gelevaziyo cannot afford the high tuitions in such institutions.
"In my case, I could not even bother to try applying for a place at a private technical college." Said Gelevaziyo "I have no one to look up to for financial support. My parents live in the village and they are not employed." The financial restrictions that Gelevaziyo experienced limited his strong desire to progress with his dream of training as a qualified builder. Besides that, challenge, the young man lived alone and struggled to fend for himself, meaning that the chances of acquiring a good source of money was almost impossible. This was a huge barrier to his vision.
That barrier was not to stay for long. After several failed attempts to secure a place at a public technical training institution, Gelevaziyo was introduced to our vocational training programme. It came at an opportune moment and when he heard the amount of money required as tuition, the news was almost too good to be true. More good news was to follow.
In 2017, Gelevaziyo found himself among the selected students of the bricklaying class at our vocational training centre. The excitement he felt at that time could not be expressed. At last, the dream he had been chasing all along was taking shape.
"When I sat in the room and took my first lesson in bricklaying, I felt privileged. Not many people have the chance to get vocational training at this fee." Gelevaziyo remarked, referring to the highly subsidized 'commitment fee' that our students pay. His journey into the career of bricklaying started paying off even before the Gelevaziyo had graduated. A month before completing his studies, he got his first big job. He was hired to construct a three bedroomed house in a district about 300 kilometres from where he stays. Gelevaziyo built the house singlehandedly without any assistance.
"I wanted to show the people who hired me that I have what it takes to handle a complex job." He boasted. Actually, the person who hired him was so impressed with how Gelevaziyo managed the job that he referred him to other people. He has since constructed more than seven houses for different individuals. He is slowly making sufficient income. It is not only people from afar who are fascinated by Gelevaziyo's skills. Within the area he resides, many others have started approaching him as a consultant to seek advice or oversee their building works.
"These people understand that I am a professional builder and they trust my advice. Over here, I am the only person who underwent training in bricklaying. The rest do not have the education qualifications." Gelevaziyo said, adding that most of these people usually look for advice on what materials to use on their buildings. The bricklaying course that he did is already rewarding Gelevaziyo in ways that he could have never imagined. Gelevaziyo is a small-scale soy and maize farmer. Besides working as a builder, he also heavily relies on subsistence farming. He explained that the income he gets from the jobs he gets hired for has enabled him to improve his farming. He recently invested more than MK100,000 in his farm – something that he could hardly do before. He expects to yield more harvests this year.
This is no mean achievement. In Malawi, any type of farming – large or small-scale – is expensive and requires a lot of money to maintain. In villages where people rely on subsistence farming, very few can succeed in sustaining their gardens due to high costs of farm inputs.
Gelevaziyo has bigger plans. He explained that he wants to start a small business venture in bricklaying and employ other people. He foresees himself opening a large construction company that would operate nationwide.
"I am determined and I know that I will achieve this goal." He closed.

Max Mekker
PERFORMER Geir Børresen
Kermit Love with Max Mekker in Norway.
Max Mekker is a character on Sesam Stasjon, the Norwegian co-production of Sesame Street, which takes place in a train station.
Max Mekker is a laid-back and easygoing blue-furred creature who works as a repairman at the station, his main job being to do repairs and maintenance jobs as they're needed. However, he also performs many other physical tasks around the station, such as stocking crates, polishing the train tracks, and occasionally helping passengers with their luggage. In his spare time he likes to tinker ("mekke" in Norwegian, hence the name), and over the course of the show, he's designed and built many strange machines; some of which are useful, others of which aren't. He's also a passionate fan of Norwegian singer Maj Britt Andersen, and was thrilled when she made a guest appearance on the show.
Max has a certain fondness for speaking in rhyme, and often - but not always - refers to himself in third person. His age is uncertain, but in one episode he was revealed to be "too young to begin school yet," which disappointed him to no end.
After young Py joined the cast in later seasons, Max took on a sort of "bigger brother" role towards her, trying to keep her out of trouble whenever he could.
Max, along with his co-stars, appeared in a special New Year's Eve report from Norway in the special Sesame Street Stays Up Late. His voice was dubbed into English by Jim Martin.
The workshop thought that Geir Børresen was too tall for the puppet to work. So in order to fit in the costume he walks around with bent knees, almost lowering his height by 50 centimeters (almost 20 inches).[1]

Q: When is it ok to flatten a database? We have designed our database around our business model, with one table per business type. However, since having separate tables for several similar types is causing performance issues, I am considering flattening several related tables into a single table with a discriminator column to identify the actual subtype of each row.
Issues with our normalized model:

*

*Several other core tables have polymorphic references to one of these subtypes that requires a unioned lookup to determine which table contains its referenced object

*Searching and indexing across a union of these subtypes, a common operation, is inefficient

*Semantically identical columns are duplicated across multiple tables

Since we are using Hibernate and JPA, polymorphic joins are difficult and we cannot use views.
Cons of flattening:

*

*Our code is now responsible for the referential type integrity of these subtypes rather than foreign key restrictions setup in the database

*Each row would have null values for irrelevant columns to that type

*Adding a column to any of the subtypes requires adding a column to the whole table

*Columns specific to one subtype cannot be marked non-null

This related SO question recommends keeping a normalized design, but in their situation the subtypes shared only 10 out of 100 total columns. Our flattened table would contain fifteen columns total: eleven shared by every subtype, and the other four shared by multiple types (but not all).
Is this a scenario where flattening makes sense?

Pride TreeHouse Party moving to Ryerson
Successful event has outgrown Cawthra Park, organizers say
By Andrea Houston Apr 07, 2013, 8:00 PM EDT
The TreeHouse Party in Cawthra Park on Pride Sunday is moving to the Ryerson quad. Credit: Xtra file photo
The popular Pride Sunday outdoor party at the 519 Church Street Community Centre is moving to a much larger space — the Ryerson University quadrangle.
Organizers of the Green Space party series will keep Cawthra Park open Pride Sunday for a disco party while the popular TreeHouse Party carries on a few blocks south.
This year marks the fifth edition of the Green Space parties. Pascal Dessureault, The 519's board chair, says they are doubling their capacity to 5,000 people for the Sunday TreeHouse Party. "We have outgrown our space at The 519. [Moving to Ryerson] will allow us to throw a bigger event."
Increasingly long lineups have caused frustration for partygoers at Cawthra Park and at the bars, he says. "We want to ensure our events are as accessible as possible. We are so glad of the popularity of those events."
The outdoor Pride weekend parties are the largest fundraiser of the year for The 519, Dessureault says. Last year, more than $250,000 was raised, which is used for The 519's programs and services, he says. "That money has a year-round impact on The 519. And it goes directly to community programming."
The Green Space parties are completely separate from Pride Toronto (PT). Organizer Mathieu Chantelois says The 519 initially tried to join forces with PT, but an agreement could not be reached. He expressed frustration that potential partners at PT and the Church Wellesley Village BIA have spurned his requests for cooperation.
"We have different visions for the street and how to occupy the street," Dessureault says. "Overall, we see ourselves as a complementary event."
However, PT executive director Kevin Beaulieu says no representative from The 519, or any other organization, approached PT about partnering for the Green Space parties.
Beaulieu says he's checked with PT staff, who deny that any request for cooperation was put forward. "It may have been [something we were open to]," he says. "But we weren't approached with a proposal."
"We are very supportive of The 519. They do wonderful work all through the year, and we know this is a significant fundraising source for them, and we are very supportive of that."
An official launch for the event is planned for Tuesday, April 9 at 5:30pm at The 519, Dessureault says.

N.B. special care sector needs to change, say some MLAs
A Liberal MLA on the New Brunswick Political Panel says he doesn't believe government oversight of the special care sector is adequate, and it shouldn't have taken an investigative report by CBC News for the province to realize it.
"One person to care for 18 seniors makes no sense," Robert Gauvin, MLa for Shediac Bay-Dieppe, said on the panel devoted to the province's special care sector.
He was referring to a pilot project approved by the Progressive Conservative government that allowed some northern New Brunswick nursing homes to operate with fewer workers than usual. Some former employees and family members say care at the Lokia-owned homes declined as a result.
"It looks like it was done secretly, from what we hear, so this is very disheartening," Gauvin said.
LISTEN | Political panelists talk about the special care sector in New Brunswick.
He said the saddest part is that the pandemic blocked families from visiting their loved ones, so they couldn't see the lack of care for themselves.
Gauvin said New Brunswick should be setting an example for the rest of the country, as the province with the largest senior population per capita.
He pointed to nurse shortages and said the province should reduce restrictions on foreign working nurses who currently cannot work in New Brunswick because their credentials aren't recognized.
"This would be helpful … we could have more people working here right now if we would tackle that file."
People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin agreed and said he's seen foreign workers who are trained as nurses and licensed practical nurses forced to take minimum-wage jobs in fast-food chains to make ends meet.
"At some point, we have to give our head a shake and say, 'How do we give these folks an opportunity to quickly get into the system?'" said Austin.
He said the barriers keeping people from getting into the long-term care sector need to be removed, and the government has to make sure funding is available for when it happens.
Ed Hunter/CBC
"It's important to make sure the inspections are done … it all goes back to making sure the homes are operating within the regulations," he said.
"We want to make sure that our loved ones are being looked after. It's a vulnerable sector of the population and that's why it's important to do it."
Special care needs its own department
Green Party Leader David Coon wants the province to create a department dedicated solely to the long-term home sector.
He said frontline services at the Department of Social Development are severely underfunded and understaffed, which is the root of the problem.
He said the inspection processes are tedious and lengthy, which he thinks make inspectors lose track of what's most important.
Coon also pointed to the disconnect between government and care homes owned by corporations. He used the Atholville special care home Manoir de la Vallée, which is owned by Lokia Group and was used for the pilot project, as an example.
Graham Thompson/CBC
"There's a huge disconnect, because the guy who runs the corporation from outside of the province was quite happy with the way it ran, and we have staff who were there that said it was a disaster," said Coon.
"The care of the residents of that special care home deteriorated significantly."
Coon said removing senior care from the Department of Social Development would ensure long-term care centres and their residents are valued and receive the care they need.
"While the staff care, the system does not," he said.
Bruce Fitch, the minister of social development, said he's confident most special care home residents are getting proper care.
"I know during COVID-19 some of the inspections were not being done and some of the inspections were being done but not reported on the website, which led to a bit of confusion,"
Fitch said 75 per cent of special care homes, 99 per cent of "memory care" homes and 100 per cent of nursing homes in the province have been inspected and have a valid licence.
WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden is nominating New York emergency department commissioner Deanne Criswell to serve as the Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator and has tapped former CIA deputy director David Cohen to return to the agency in the same role he served during the Obama administration. The picks, along with a trio of other new nominations confirmed to The Associated Press by the Biden team, come as the president-elect is putting a premium on experience, and perhaps familiarity, as he looks to fill out top positions at federal agencies with less than a week to go before his inauguration. Biden also is tapping former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner David Kessler to help lead the COVID-19 vaccine drive. Kessler has been advising Biden as a co-chair of his advisory board on the coronavirus pandemic. The pick of Kessler comes after Biden on Thursday called the Trump administration's rollout of coronavirus vaccines a "dismal failure" and says he will unveil his own plans on Friday to speed up inoculations. Criswell, who also spent more than five years in top posts at FEMA during the Obama administration, is the first woman nominated to head the agency, whose primary responsibility is to co-ordinate responses to major disasters inside the United States that require federal attention. Nancy Ward served as the agency's acting administrator in the early months of the Obama administration before his pick, Craig Fugate, could be confirmed. Cohen, who was deputy CIA director from 2015 to 2017, has travelled the world for years tracking money flowing to terror groups, such as the Islamic State group, and other bad actors on the international stage. His work directing the Treasury Department's intelligence unit earlier in his career earned him the nicknames of "financial batman" and "sanctions guru." In 2019, Cohen, who has been leading the financial and business integrity group at the law firm WilmerHale, made a cameo appearance on the HBO series "Game of Thrones." Nominees are required to disclose details of their finances and complete ethics agreements as part of the confirmation process. Once confirmed, federal ethics laws can require the officials to recuse themselves from working on issues that could impact their previous business interests. Biden throughout the 2020 campaign lashed at President Donald Trump, saying he eroded public trust in government. Biden pledged his team will abide by "the highest ethical standards." Cohen is not a registered lobbyist, but his firm does millions of dollars in lobbying work each year on behalf of clients that include the Beer Institute, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Walgreens and American Financial Group. The president-elect is also nominating Shalanda Young, the top staff aide for the House Appropriations Committee, to serve as deputy director at the Office of Management and Budget and Jason Miller, who was deputy director of the White House National Economic Council in Obama's administration, to serve as deputy director for management at the agency. Young brings a wealth of Capitol Hill experience in budget policy — and politics — to the budget office, along with close relationships with powerful House Democrats like Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Miller was steeped in manufacturing policy in the Obama administration, including an update of automobile fuel efficiency standards. Biden is tapping Janet McCabe, an environmental law and policy expert who spent more than seven years as a top official at the Environmental Protection Agency during the Obama administration to return to the agency as deputy administrator. "Each of them brings a deep respect for the civil servants who keep our republic running, as well as a keen understanding of how the government can and should work for all Americans," Biden said of his picks in a statement. "I am confident that they will hit the ground running on day one with determination and bold thinking to make a meaningful difference in people's lives." Criswell has served as New York City's emergency management commissioner since June 2019. In her earlier work at FEMA, Criswell served as the leader of one of the agency's National Incident Management Assistance Teams and as a federal co-ordinating officer. In New York, part of her duties included leading the co-ordination of the city's emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Between her stints at FEMA and in New York, Criswell was a principal at Cadmus Group, a firm that provides homeland security management consulting and training services for federal, state and local government agencies and private sector companies. The company made about $68 million between the time she joined the firm in 2017 and when she left in June 2019, according to a tabulation of contract spending data from the site USASpending.gov. She also served as the head of the Office of Emergency Management for the city of Aurora, Colorado. Criswell also served in the Colorado Air National Guard, including 21 years as a firefighter and deputy fire chief with deployments to Qatar, Afghanistan and Iraq. ___ Associated Press writers Deb Riechmann and Andrew Taylor contributed to this report.

Read about our new Vision, Mission and Values.
You might have noticed we recently relaunched our brand. Along with a new logo and colours, we've updated our Vision, Mission and Values to reflect our sharpened focus as a charity and inspire your support.
What are our new Vision, Mission and Values?
Our Vision is that every child and young person in the country has a safe and happy childhood and the foundations they need to thrive. The core of this Vision is 'safe and happy childhood': a simple, clear phrase that captures what we aspire to for children and young people.
Our Mission is to protect and support children and young people. We do this by providing practical and emotional care and support; by ensuring their voices are heard; and by campaigning to bring lasting improvements to their lives. These are the practical actions we undertake as an organisation, to help bring our Vision about.
We have four Values:
We're passionate about all children having a safe and happy childhood.
We're ambitious for children and young people.
We collaborate internally and externally with other organisations to get the best outcomes for children.
And we're inclusive, striving to ensure that all children are included.
Why are we relaunching our brand?
Over the last year we've sharpened our focus as an organisation. We have a clear new sense of what we want to stand for - captured in our new Vision, Mission and Values. We also have a new ambition for our internal culture.
Our previous branding didn't reflect this new focus, and didn't inspire the general public to support us. We also found internally that our previous identity was restrictive and hard for our teams to work with.
All of these limitations were a particular issue, as we're increasingly reliant on voluntary income.
That's why we created our new brand look and feel: it brings our new focus to life, to inspire support from our many audiences – including the general public.
As a charity, is our brand the right thing to be investing in?
We're convinced that – as a charity – we're right to be investing in our brand. That's because our brand isn't just a logo; it's everything that our organisation stands for in people's minds. So our brand matters because it's vital that we stand for the right things, inspiring our different audiences to support us.
In fact, developing a distinctive, relevant brand is just as important to charities as it is to commercial organisations. Perhaps even more so. The stronger our brand, the more we can engage supporters, recruit partners, raise money and influence opinion – and these are all vital to delivering our core services.
We have a duty to communicate clearly and memorably across all our activities. And we're confident that our new brand will enable us to do this.


This Valentine's Day & Always, Let's Discover the Fire in All of Us.
I thought today would be the perfect day to share about the Fire Element. One of the most fun Elements of the 5-Elements of Chinese Medicine to talk about!
Why? Because the FIRE Element is connected to the HEART & the Pericardium and of course, the heart is the center of Valentine's day…(not Hallmark cards).
The Fire Element, represents passion, inspiration, heat, joy, connection, activity, and so much more.
Our heart's desire is to make personal and intimate connections in our lives. We wish to have personal intimate connections with lovers and partners as well as close personal relationships with our besties, our friendships, workplace mates, and our inner community.
So, the greatest joy for fire elements comes from intimate relationships, friends, and generosity of an open Heart. The zest for life of the well-adapted fire type is contagious… the warmth, enthusiasm, and optimism are palpable.
Here are some of the characteristics of what a healthy and well-balanced Fire Element Archetype Personality might express.
Now let's explore what an "excess" condition of a Fire Element might look like!
This is a common example of what an excess out-of-balance Fire Element might look like. As you can see from this image, that like the nature of FIRE FLARING the fire element personality can get very excitable, anxious, full of anxiety. They can be restless and very agitated. Their energy is flaring up like the fire, so our goal is to calm it down. Descend the energy, (Qi) We don't want to completely douse the fire, just manage it to a gentle flame of a candle burning.
Each Element of the 5-Elements of Chinese medicine can express in an excess condition as you can see in this Fire Element Example, but they can also express in a deficiency condition, which would lead us to use different essential oils on different acupuncture points.
When you have a better understanding of these differentiations, you can truly refine and personalize treatment protocols in a more profound way. THIS is what I teach to my students in my AcuOil Alchemy Course. A 6-Week Online course that helps you understand a person's true constitution, and recognize the patterns of the symphony of symptoms.

Какузу () — ніндзя-зрадник з Такіґакуре. На відміну від решти членів «Акацукі», єдине, що його цікавить — це гроші. Тому улюбленим заняттям Какузу є збирання коштів. Тому Какузу вважається «Скарбником Акацукі».

Особистість
Какузу є холоднокровним вбивцею, головною метою якого є здобуття чимнайбільшої кількості грошей. Є досить холодним за своєю вдачею, оскільки під час битви Хідана з Асумою, Ізумо, Котецу та Шикамару, коли Хідану відтяли голову, Какузу навіть не ворохнувся щоб допомогти.

Історія
Відступник з Селища, прихованого у Водоспадах. Судячи з того. що Какузу колись бився з Хаширамою Сенджу, можна з впевненістю сказати, що Какузу дуже старий. До Акацукі був завербований Пейном (тіло Яхіко). Наґато поставив йому умову, що якщо Какузу програє - він повинен буде приєднатися до Акацукі.  Какузу мав декілька партнерів в Акацукі. але всі вони не проіснували довго, оскільки рано чи пізно Какузу просто вбивав своїх напарників. Безсмертний Хідан. став для нього ідеальним партнером. Хоча Какузу недолюблював Хідана, він без особливих зусиль координував з ним свої дії під час сутичок з ворогами.

Здібності

 Какузу мав унікальну здібність поглинати серця переможених ворогів, подовжуючи таким чином собі життя. Всього в його тілі було 4 серця, кожне з яких володіло техніками стилю вогню, блискавки та вітру (одне з сердець(з технікою води) було знищене Какаші). Доки ці серця були живі, Какузу не можна було вбити фізично.
 Какузу міг захистити своє тіло, надавши йому надзвичайної міцності, за допомогою якої можна було як витримувати потужні фізичні атаки суперника, так і використовувати посилені частини тіла для фізичної атаки.
 Какузу мав здатність контролювати свої кінцівки за допомогою тілесних закінчень. Навіть якщо кінцівка відривалася від основного тіла, вона могла діяти автономно, доки функціонувало основне тіло.

Перша поява
Вперше з'являється разом з Хіданом до Селища Прихованого в Хамарх, з метою вкрасти двохвостого джинчюрікі Юґіто Ні. Опинившись в пастиці з Хіданом, вони вступають в сутичку, з якої виходять переможцями, передаючи тіло останньої для вилучення двоххвостого.

Атака на храм в землях Вогню
Разом з Хіданом задля збагачення атакує храм в землі Вогню, з метою отримати голову Чиріку - одного з дванадцяти Ніндзя-Оберігів. Хоча Чиріку використовує техніки рук Будди, Какузу та хідан виходять в з битви переможцями, зрівнявши весь храм з землею.

Перша зустріч з командою Шикамару
Вперше какузу зустрічається з шинобі з Конохи, біля потаємного офісу збору винагород, коли Какузу доставляє туди тіло Чиріку. Не знаючи напевне про небезпечні здібності Хідана та Какузу, поєдинок закінчується загибеллю Асуми. Шинобі з Конохи загрожує смертельна небезпека, але Какузу та Хідан змушені були відтупити, через запечатування двоххвостого.

Сутичка з командою 10
Шикамару, Іно та Чоджи, вбиті горем від смерті їхнього вчителя, вирішують поммститися і вирушають на пошуки Какузу та Хідана разом з Хатаке Какаші. Під час поєдинку з ніндзями Конохи Хатаке Какаші знищив одне серце за допомогою райкірі. Хідан своєю технікою знищив друге серце Какузу, думаючи що техніка направлена на Шікамару Нара. Наруто Узумакі знищив два його серця расенґан-сюрікеном. І хоча Какузу залишився живим, він не міг рухатися. Тому після цього його вбив Хатаке Какаші.

Четверта велика війна шинобі
Какузу опинився серед ніндзя, що були повернуті до життя технікою Нечистивого воскресіння Кабуто Якуші (Едо-тенсей). Бився разом з Асумою проти Іно, Чоджи та Шикамару.

From the sports editor: Hard to argue that Knight isn't the best
Apr 18th, 2020 · by Andy Walter · Comments: 0
Running back Will Knight led Smyrna High to three straight DIAA Division I football state titles between 2015-17. Delaware State News file photo
DOVER — It was Dec. 2, 2017 and Smyrna High's football team had just won its third-straight DIAA Division I state title.
For Eagles' coach Mike Judy, there was also no question that he'd just watched the crowning achievement by one of the best running backs the state has ever seen.
Will Knight, a senior that season, was just that good.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore of football in Delaware," Judy said that day, "there would be no argument that he deserves to be on there. He's that special."
For many of our readers — especially the ones from Smyrna — 'Will Knight' was also the obvious answer to our question about who was the best downstate running back ever.
Clearly, Knight, who is going into his sophomore year at Delaware, has the numbers to back it up. He set the unofficial state rushing record with 6,490 yards and scored 97 touchdowns in the Eagles' high-octane offense.
The fact that Knight also pulled in 78 career receptions for 1,722 yards and 20 TDs or led Smyrna to three straight Division I state championships doesn't hurt his case.
"His humility coupled with his work ethic is a thing of beauty," Judy said after Knight was named the state's Offensive Player of the Year for the second time in his career. "It took a talented young man and made him a superstar. I'm real proud of him and he's a guy I'd want in my corner every day of the week."
Of course, just because Knight is a deserving candidate for the top-running back crown, that doesn't mean there aren't some other worthy candidates that were brought up by our readers.
For fans of downstate football 40 years ago, no running back was more impressive than Mike Meade.
The Delaware Sports Museum Hall of Famer ran for over 5,000 yards for Dover High between 1975-77. He led the Senators to the 1977 Division I state crown when he earned Parade All-American honors.
Meade played at Penn State before doing something only a select group of Delaware football players have ever done — getting drafted by the NFL. A fifth-round pick of the Packers, Meade played for both Green Bay and Detroit in a four-year career.
For an even older generation, however, Laurel's Ron Waller was as dominant a running back as there's been in the Henlopen Conference.
In the early 1950s, playing when there were shorter seasons and more-conservative offenses, Waller set the then-state scoring record of 464 points in his 22-game career. He earned All-ACC honors as a kick returner at Maryland before being named an All-Pro in his rookie season with the NFL's Los Angeles Rams.
Former Bridgeville coach Ben Sirman watched Waller as a youngster.
"We were disappointed if Ronnie Waller didn't have four touchdowns by halftime," said Sirman.
At a position like running back, every era has its own stars, however.
Readers mentioned Milford's Clarence Bailey, who starred at Wesley in its junior college days before playing briefly in the NFL.
There was also Lake Forest's Petie Davis, who became one of the state's first collegiate 4,000-yard rushers during a memorable career at Wesley, and Delmar's Burt Culver in the 1960s. As well as Meade, Dover can also of boast running backs like Erik Hamilton, Pierre Bowers and Vonnie Peace.
At the end of the day, though, there really isn't any category that Will Knight didn't excel in — individual stats, team success, speed, durability and his ability to deliver in the clutch.
"If something's on the line, he's the first guy you turn to," Judy said after that state title game in '17.
DSU lands local runners
Delaware State announced that it is bringing in several downstate high school standouts to its men's track & field program.
That group includes Nathaniel Guy (Dover), Leon Jett (Caesar Rodney), Virgil Reeves (Smyrna), Raymond Nyameke (Smyrna), Michael Rodriguez (Polytech) and Dover grad Tyshaun Chisolm.
DSU coach Steven Kimes was particularly excited to land Guy, whose parents the Revs. William and Tremaine (Grippon) Guy competed for the Hornets in the late 1990s.
Kimes first noticed Guy when he was coaching Wesley College and the Wolverines practiced at Dover's Central Middle School.
"The Central track team was practicing while Nate was in sixth grade when I noticed this tall, talented kid and thought to myself, 'He's going to be special,'" Kimes was quoted in a story on DSUHornets.com.
"Nate is a major prize for our program. He has all the tools to succeed at the college level, is an exceptional student and comes from a great Hornet family."
Here's another example of how coronavirus pandemic has complicated an athlete's life.
Delaware State distance runner Katarzyna Rosikon is a native of Poland, who finds herself somewhat stranded in Dover right now.
When the pandemic shutdown hit pretty suddenly, Rosikon could have returned to Poland. But she didn't think she'd be able to get back in the U.S. if she wanted to return.
"I was put in really tough position and needed to decide what to do," Rosikon said in a story on DSUHornets.com. "After talking to my family, we all decided that it will be safer for me to stay in U.S. until the whole situation is resolved. I am staying on campus right now, safe and isolated so that's all it matters."
While Rosikon has everything she needs, since most DSU students have gone home, she said campus feels like a "ghost city." A grad student in the biology, she's keeping up with her work and making the best of the unusual situation.
"I am just trying to keep myself busy as much as I can," said Rosikon.
