This page sets out the pathways for young people aged 13+ who have additional learning needs requiring greater support than would normally be provided in school. As a result of the Children and Families Act 2014, EHC plans will replace 16+ statements and Learning Difficulty Assessments in Further (not Higher) Education, and may in certain circumstances run up to age 25.
It is intended that the responsibility for dealing with assessments and support arrangements will transfer to young people themselves once they reach 16. Chapter 8 of the New SEND Code of Practice 2014 covers 16+ arrangements in more detail, and paragraph 8.19 says "Where a young person is under 18, the involvement of parents is particularly important and local authorities should continue to involve them in the vast majority of decisions."
For young people age 16+ there will be a phased transfer to the new system between September 2014 and September 2016. Until 1 September 2016, local authorities must continue to have regard to LDA Statutory Guidance in relation to young people who receive support in post-16 education, training or higher education as a result of a LDA.
Local authorities should have a transition plan available in September 2014. The transition plan should include the number of young people receiving support as a result of an LDA that the local authority expects to transfer to the new system in each year of the transition period; details of the transfer review process; and the arrangements for the transfer of young people who receive support as a result of a LDA
At the end of September 2014 Jane McConnell at Ipsea said that the main questions to their helpline are about FE college and requesting an EHCP; transition from statement to EHCP; schools withdrawing support; transport changes; and new timelines. The hot issue is apparently no EHC needs assessment at transition.
Appendix A at the back of the Transition Guidance sets out in table form the statutory requirements (R) and non-statutory expectations (E) relating to the transfer of different groups of children and young people to the new SEN system.
High Needs Funding Guidance Assumes LDA or EHCP
The funding guidance for post-16 education assumes that "the majority of young people with high needs attending a school, college or specialist post-16 institution will subject to either a statement of SEN, an LDA or, from September 2014, an EHC plan"
As Young Person Approaches 14
Moving from Secondary to Post-16, No Statement
Where a local authority was part way through a Learning Difficulty Assessment on 1 September 2014 this should be completed as an LDA unless parents/young person request an ECHP.
"A young person who was well supported through the Local Offer while at school [ie no statement] may move to a further education (FE) college where the same range or level of support is not available. An EHC plan may then be needed to ensure that support is provided and co-ordinated effectively in the new environment."[9.15 New SEND Code of Practice 2014]
Moving from Secondary to Post-16, Already Has Statement
After September 2014, LAs must complete the ECHP transfer review when young people move from secondary to post-16.
With the introduction of EHC needs assessments and EHC plans from 1 September 2014, local authorities will no longer be under a duty to commence new LDAs. Requests for new assessments will be treated as EHCPs. "An EHC needs assessment will not always lead to an EHC plan. The information gathered during an EHC needs assessment may indicate ways in which the school, college or other provider can meet the child or young person's needs without an EHC plan." [9.6 New SEN Code of Practice June 2014]
See Chapter 9 new SEN Code of Practice
Process for Transferring Statements to EHC Plans
The LA must carry out a transfer review incorporating an EHC needs assessment in accordance with the new SEN Code of Practice before a child or young person with a statement is moved to an EHC plan.
From the point the transfer review starts, the right of appeal will be under the new system rather than the old system. The transfer review need not involve seeking any new advice. The plan must normally be finalised within 14 weeks. A transfer review can't go ahead if the parent is currently appealing a statement. Reference Children and Families Act 2014 (Transitional and Saving Provisions) (No. 2) Order 2014 No. 2270, published end August 2014.
From September 2014, young people in further education or training who are already receiving additional support to meet their special educational needs as a result of a LDA can choose to continue either to receive their additional support as a result of their LDA (where it is still required) until the end of their time in further education or training or until 1 September 2016 whichever comes first or request an EHC needs assessment. Reference Children and Families Act 2014 (Transitional and Saving Provisions) (No. 2) Order 2014 No. 2270, published end August 2014.
Young people in further education and training who receive provision as a result of a LDA must be transferred to the new SEN system by 1 September 2016 if they are continuing in further education or training beyond that date. Reference Children and Families Act 2014 (Transitional and Saving Provisions) (No. 2) Order 2014 No. 2270, published end August 2014.
Where a local authority decides not to conduct an EHC needs assessment or not to secure an EHC plan, a young person has the right to appeal that decision. Where an EHC plan is not secured, the provision being made as a result of the young person's LDA should continue as planned. Reference Children and Families Act 2014 (Transitional and Saving Provisions) (No. 2) Order 2014 No. 2270, published end August 2014.
Package of Support
8.41 - 8.42 new SEN Code of Practice
8.41 Where young people have EHC plans, local authorities should consider the need to provide a full package of provision and support across education, health and care that covers five days a week, where that is appropriate to meet the young person's needs.
8.42 Five-day packages of provision and support do not have to be at one provider and could involve amounts of time at different providers and in different settings. It may include periods outside education institutions with appropriate support, including time and support for independent study. A package of provision can include non- educational activities such as: volunteering or community participation; work experience; opportunities that will equip young people with the skills they need to make a successful transition to adulthood, such as independent travel training, and/or skills for living in semi-supported or independent accommodation; and training to enable a young person to develop and maintain friendships and/or support them to access facilities in the local community.
It can also include health and care related activities such as physiotherapy. Full-time packages of provision and support set out in the EHC plan should include any time young people need to access support for their health and social care needs.
Where a young person is aged over 18, the local authority must consider whether the young person requires additional time, in comparison to the majority of others of the same age who do not have special educational needs, to complete their education or training. [Children and Families Act section 36]
EHC Plan Format
A common labelling system has been introduced in the Code of Practice meaning that every EHC plan must contain specified sections that must be labelled with the same letter. See Chapter 9 final Code of Practice 2014 paragraphs 9.61 to 9.69. EHC plans must specify the outcomes sought for the child or young person [9.64 SEN Code Practice 2014]
"An outcome can be defined as the benefit or difference made to an individual as a result of an intervention...Outcomes are not a description of the service being provided – for example the provision of three hours of speech and language therapy is not an outcome. In this case, the outcome is what it is intended that the speech and language therapy will help the individual to do that they cannot do now and by when this will be achieved." [9.66 final Code of Practice 2014 paragraphs 9.61 to 9.69. EHC plans must specify the outcomes sought for the child or young person [9.64 SEN Code Practice 2014]

Around 5% of home educated children and young people have a statement of SEN, but many more with additional learning needs may not have sought a statement while home educating. However, if the young person is now looking to go to college, the family will want to know what extra help is available at 16.

The ObserverClassics
In search of Marcel Proust
A new version of In Search of Lost Time makes Proust less stuffy, but has something been lost in translation?
Buy In Search of Lost Time at Amazon.co.uk
Robert Douglas-Fairhurst
Sun 17 Nov 2002 05.43 EST
Marcel Proust: In Search of Lost Timeedited by Christopher Prendergast
£75, pp3,300 (six volumes)
Towards the end of the second volume of In Search of Lost Time, much of which has been taken up with long and longing descriptions of his lover Albertine, Proust's narrator puzzles over the fact that he seems to be obsessed by many different girls who happen to share the same name. Sometimes Albertine's face looks dull and sullen, sometimes glowing and sultry; sometimes his gaze is arrested by the pink tip of her kittenish nose, sometimes his eyes slide over her rosy cheeks as if they were as frictionless as the surface of a painted miniature. And as Marcel loses his grip on Albertine, so he loses his grip on himself: 'It may be because the personalities I perceived in her at that time were so various,' he confesses, 'that I later took to turning into a different person, depending on which Albertine was in my mind: I became a jealous man, an indifferent man, a voluptuary, a melancholic, a madman.'
The idea that each of us contains many possible selves, patiently waiting to be liberated by circumstance, has long been an attractive one for Proust's biographers, who have drawn attention to the large number of Prousts who seemed to live within the same skin: the reclusive socialite (Proust's most recent biographer in English, Edmund White, describes him as a 'playboy-monk'); the critic of habit who lived according to strict routines; the sensitive aesthete who became sexually excited by watching caged rats being stabbed with hatpins. His writing style is equally slippery: consider his fondness for puns, which reveal how easily words, like people, can have more to them than first meets the ear; or the syntax of his sentences, which uncoil inquiringly across the page to dramatise both the directions and the indirections of desire, the shape of finished thoughts and the sound of somebody thinking. In short, Proust's voice is like Albertine's face: it invites interpretation and resists explanation; the longer we examine it, the more it refuses to stand still.
One might expect Proust's translators to be sensitive to this dilemma, because translation too provides only a partial version of its original, changing its appearance according to who is looking at it, and when, and why. The team of scholars behind this new Penguin version, for instance, are largely unimpressed by the earlier translation of C. K. Scott Moncrieff (successively revised by The Observer 's Terence Kilmartin and D. J. Enright): too full of errors, they complain, and too stuffy. Based on the more accurate French text published by Pléiade in 1987, their Proust is supposed to be far more down-to-earth and up-to-date, and the figure who emerges in these pages is indeed more plain-speaking, even blokeish, than many readers might expect, with an edgy wit no longer blunted by Scott Moncrieff's purplish prose. In many respects, this is a Proust for our time.
Scott Moncrieff's dedication of his work to Proust as 'the chaplet that I would fain offer you' gives a flavour of how easily his writing could slip from the lofty to the stilted, and from the archaic to the merely arch. Yet often the work of the Penguin translators jars still more awkwardly with Proust's original. Much of this is down to the decision to use different translators for each volume, on the principle that this division of labour 'heightens the chances of bringing into focus [Proust's] stylistic variety'. This curious rationale (why use seven translators rather than 70? Or 700?) does suggest one important half-truth about Proust's writing: what Christopher Prendergast, the general editor, describes as its 'commitment to the mobile and the multiple'. But it ignores the other half of that truth, which is Proust's commitment to describing the sheer variousness of the world in a voice which is uniquely his own. This is the set of vocal contours which Proust described in his novel as the writer's 'accent', his imaginative DNA, and it announces itself on every level of his writing, from the local echoes which ripple back and forth across the full range of these 3,000-plus pages, to the sustaining narrative arch that spans In Search of Lost Time from its first word ('Longtemps' - 'for a long time') to its last ('temps' - 'time').
And how did Proust learn to weave his voice into these teasing, testing patterns? Through translation. The years he spent translating Ruskin can be felt pressing on every sentence in his novel, because although Proust had a shaky grasp of English (one friend claimed that he probably couldn't have ordered a cutlet in an English restaurant), he claimed to know Ruskin 'by heart', and it is by learning Ruskin off by heart that he learnt how to describe the workings of his own heart. By imagining what it was like to write as somebody else, he discovered what it was to write as himself. Similarly, Scott Moncrieff, for all his occasional carelessness and prissiness, was probably temperamentally better suited than many later translators to making sense of a style which Montesquiou once described memorably as 'a mixture of litanies and sperm'. Ernst Curtius, visiting him in Rome in 1928, recalled how 'he generally received me with some strong abuse of Albertine, whose moods and vices were at that time keeping him very busy'. For the Penguin translators, one feels, this version of Proust is a job well done; for Scott Moncrieff, it was a labour of love.

NEW YORK (AP) — Kodak, which traces its roots to the early days of film-based photography, is getting into the digital licensing and cryptocurrency market as part of a partnership with WENN Digital. The companies are launching blockchain technology with KodakOne and KodakCoin. Blockchain is a ledger where transactions of digital currencies, like bitcoin, are recorded.
Recently, Long Island Iced Tea Corp. said it plans to change its name to Long Blockchain Corp., as it wants to focus more on blockchain technology while continuing to make beverages.
A clear indication that Bitcoin will probably trade below10K and possibly as low as 5K before rallying to new highs; more and more companies will follow this path. Eventually, a garbage collection company might decide to join the pack.
This eerily similar to some of the articles the Gold camp was pumping out in 2011 and early 2012 after Gold topped out. Their take at the time was that Gold was just building momentum and getting ready to soar to the next galaxy. Instead, the spacecraft blew up before it even achieved escape velocity. Individuals that pen such articles are nothing but shills looking for a way to push the markets up so they can bail and leave the masses holding a rusty can.
Bitcoin is part of blockchain technology, and while the outlook generally appears good for blockchain, some technology experts are already warning that quantum computers could blow a hole through blockchain. We feel that several significant discoveries will be suddenly announced in the field of quantum computing.
Bitcoin could still trend higher, but when people keep pushing ridiculous targets, it indicates that the market in question is more likely to pullback then rally to new highs. At this point, the odds are far better for bitcoin to trade to 5K then 100K. Bitcoin is not something we would invest for the very long term, it is going to go through a brutal correction at some point, but this market is still indicating the superbubble pattern we spoke of last year is still intact. For this to play out, the market would need to experience a very strong correction and shed at least 60% of its value, but we would prefer a pullback of 70%.
Quantum computing gives us extraordinary computational power, making mince meat out of problems classical computers struggle to solve. The world's most pressing issues, like that of climate change, can only be overcome with machines like quantum computers. Yet, as with all new technologies, it has the power to render features of other technologies obsolete. These technologies must mutate to survive and thrive, or else be left in the junkyard of one-hit wonder technologies.
With blockchain, that predator is quantum computing. Blockchain's security comes from its enhanced encryption standards, but the power of quantum computing leaves experts worried that the encryption employed by blockchain will be overcome too easily by quantum computing.
Recently, researchers from the University of South Wales constructed a new architecture, similar to the ones used in today's processors, to perform quantum calculations. This has significant implications for the average person. It means that the same technology used to run the devices you use today could be used to run quantum computing calculations.
Quantum computing, even pocket quantum computing, is inevitable. However, it has always been seen as a distant dream – 10 to 15 years in the future has been the industry opinion on the arrival of commercial quantum computing. This discovery by UNSW researchers discredits that prediction. It could now arrive much faster and that may not bode well for cryptography and blockchain as a whole.
It is technically possible for a classical computer to break through the asymmetric encryption that coins like Bitcoin use, using sheer brute force (running through all possible solutions); it would just take a very long time. Quantum computers operate at a magnitude many times quicker than classical computers though, and it is easier for it to defeat asymmetric encryption.
That puts cryptocurrency and blockchain in a tight spot. Cryptocurrency and blockchain could be forced to evolve, to mutate so as to possess new characteristics, or else the much-loved security and privacy that enthusiasts sing praises about might be a thing of the past.
If quantum computing research continues at its current pace, then it will have no problem breaking the encryption used by blockchain. The economic system of cryptocurrencies would become all but useless since it would be possible for hackers to steal your coins, commit fraud and control the blockchain. If someone could easily steal your bitcoins, it wouldn't be good for Bitcoin's reputation.
You may have heard of the term "51% attack". This is when miners control over 50% of the network, allowing them to double spend. In layman's terms, this means they can spend money twice by deleting transactions from the blockchain.
Quantum computers could give malicious miners the power they need to break this 50% threshold. This particular security worry is not an immediate concern. The projection is that it will be at least 10 years before quantum computers are capable of doing this. However, with the recently revealed engineering architecture for quantum computers, that timeline may be shortened.
There is a far bigger concern which, as we mentioned, is the ease with which quantum computing can break public key encryption. Quantum computing is expected to reach this level of power by 2027. In other words, if today's encryption standards and by extension, blockchain security, doesn't evolve new security techniques or encryption standards, it will be practically useless.
China has opened the world's largest Quantum Computer research centre at the cost of $10 billion. Russia with the world's best hackers has several covert programs dedicated to quantum computing. It is just a matter of time before they figure out a way to use quantum computers to not only hack the bitcoin market (very easily) but to hack many other encrypted systems. We have already witnessed the many heists hackers have performed on the bitcoin market using non-quantum computers.
The underground world is usually always two steps ahead of the corporate world, and that's generally because the corporate world does not want to spend large amounts of money to update their systems to new threats. They rely on an uninformed consumer believing their pathetic excuses that something unprecedented happened that was beyond their control and now that it has happened they are implementing top-notch technology to protect their systems. When hacked again, they will mouth the same excuse, which is what they have been doing for the past 30 years.

In Amsterdam, the Bicycle Still Rules
The Netherlands has been regarded as the cycling nation since before World War II. In a 1938 newspaper article, the bicycle was dubbed "the most Dutch of all vehicles."
Decades since, bike infatuation still appears to be on the rise. In Amsterdam, residents now choose bicycles rather than automobiles for more of their trips, according to a recent study.
Between 2005 and 2007, Amsterdam residents rode their bicycle 0.87 times a day on average, compared to 0.84 trips by automobile. It was the first time on record that average bike trips surpassed cars, the research group FietsBeraad reported last month.
Although additional bike trips are often necessary to complete errands that could be done in a single car ride, the findings reflect a decreasing reliance on automobiles throughout Dutch urban centers.
"In town, the car is not the mode of transport," said Hans Voerknecht, international coordinator for FietsBeraad. "The bicycle is the grease in the traffic system, and in part, the economic system.... It makes everything possible."
The group also reports that car trips in 2006 decreased by 14 percent compared to 1990. Downtown bicycle trips increased 36 percent, and cycling rates have remained steady elsewhere throughout Amsterdam.
The high level of cycling is an accomplishment for the Dutch capital, but not a great surprise considering Amsterdam's long-held love affair with bicycles, said Ralph Buehler, an international urban affairs professor at Virginia Tech University.
"It's the result of the policies they have implemented over the past 30 years to make bicycle use more attractive and safe, etc, while also implementing policies for car use in the city to be more inconvenient, stressful, and less attractive," Buehler said. "Even the queen bicycles."
Among Western nations, cycling is most popular in the Netherlands. Nearly 30 percent of Dutch commuters always travel by bicycle, and an additional 40 percent sometimes bike to work, according to FietsBeraad [PDF].
Commuters worldwide are turning to bicycles in an effort to abandon gasoline-burning vehicles and incorporate physical exercise into their travel routine. Global bicycle production increased by 3.2 percent in 2007 to 130 million units, according to the Worldwatch Institute.
In both Germany and Denmark, more than 20 percent of commuters travel by bicycle. And cycling still accounts for more than half of all trips in some Chinese cities, although private automobile use is on the rise nationwide.
In comparison, less than 2 percent of trips in North America and the United Kingdom are by bicycle.
The high level of bicycle ridership in Amsterdam is due to a variety of bike-friendly transportation policies. The city boasts an extensive system of bicycle paths that allow riders to bypass traffic signals and shortcut through neighborhoods. Residential neighborhoods restrict speed limits to 30 kilometers per hour to improve safety. Bike parking facilities are located citywide, while vehicle parking downtown is highly restricted.
The Netherlands plans to spend about 70 million Euros on bicycling projects in Amsterdam between 2007 and 2010 - an average of 13 Euros per city resident.
"They're really making bicycling attractive," Buehler said. "People who normally drive, they know it will take five Euros for parking and take 10 minutes more than if they bike."
As more cyclists fill Dutch streets, bike fatalities have remained among the lowest worldwide. From 2002 to 2005, an average of 1.1 Dutch biker was killed per 100 million kilometers cycled. In comparison, fatality rates in the United Kingdom and United States are 3.6 and 5.8, respectively.
In addition to spending more money on cycling infrastructure, the Netherlands has promoted mixed-use neighborhoods, which allow residents to make shorter bike trips. Fatalities also generally decrease when ridership rises, a theory known as "safety in numbers."
"If there are more people on bikes, it might be that car drivers are more aware of cyclists. So when they make a right turn, they look over their right shoulder," Buehler said. "In a city like Amsterdam, most people make bike trips...so the driver is more likely to be a biker him or herself."

Section 2707 - The Illinois Department of Insurance will develop standard operating procedures and best practices to identify discriminatory benefit design. The Department of Insurance will work with Navigators, consumers, advocates, and other government agencies to ensure communication and transparency throughout the process.
Section 2713 - The Illinois Department of Insurance will conduct educational campaigns to increase knowledge of preventative health services without cost sharing. The Department of Insurance will work with health insurance issuers to standardize the internal appeals process for preventative services so consumers can appeal denied services for preventative health services. Illinois will also draft and publish step-by-step instructions for appeals to increase consumer literacy and awareness.
Section 2718 - The Illinois Department of Insurance will bring down the cost of health care through transparency initiatives in connection with the claims data that goes into calculating Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) with the goal of improving consumer literacy regarding not only the percent of premium a health insurance issuer spends on claims and expenses that improve health care quality, but the actual costs, including prescription drugs, associated with healthcare delivery.
Section 2719 - The Illinois Department of Insurance will create a full time Consumer Health Protection Community Affairs Liaison position which will provide education, outreach and technical assistance to consumers. The Liaison will coordinate between the Illinois Department of Insurance, providers, and health insurance issuers in complicated disputes. Additionally, the Liaison will coordinate efforts with other State agencies' appeals divisions including the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services and the Illinois Attorney General's Health Care Bureau, which addresses consumers health care concerns and complaints through mediation and dispute resolution and law enforcement actions. The Liaison will organize consumer and provider stakeholder groups to regularly meet with the Illinois Department of Insurance to discuss parity, appeals, coverage of preventive health services, and nondiscrimination issues and concerns. Finally, the Department of Insurance will better publicize the external appeals process and make the process more understandable and visible on the website.
Section 2726 - The Illinois Department of Insurance will require all health insurance issuers to complete a parity compliance worksheet for State certification. The Department of Insurance will continue to ensure plan compliance through form review and regulatory oversight. The Department of Insurance will examine consumer and provider complaint trends in connection with behavioral health and substance use disorder benefits parity. Moreover, the complaint data analysis will form a basis for operational direction to better serve consumers. The Department of Insurance will also create a consumer-friendly outreach campaign including in-person presentations, webinars, and educational material in various languages in order to raise awareness. Finally, the Department's website will be updated to provide easy access to information for consumers, providers, and health insurance issuers and will be enhanced to receive comments, questions, and complaints from consumers.


The South Dakota Historical Society Press is hoping that lightning will strike twice at BookExpo: this year, the small press is promoting Pioneer Girl Perpectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder, edited by Nancy Tystad Koupal, 150 years after Wilder's birth on February 7, 1867. Koupal isn't only the editor of this collection of 11 essays examining the life and times of the Little House on the Prairie books: she is the director of the press, which published, in 2014, Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography, edited by Pamela Nettleton Hill. That book was an instant bestseller, selling out before its 15,000 initial print run was released. It became the get of the 2014 holiday season, even though it clocked in at 472 pages and cost $40.
To date, Pioneer Girl has sold more than 160,000 copies and is in its 10th printing. To give a little perspective on the book's impact on SDHSP's bottom line: the press's second bestselling title, Tatanka and the Lakota People, has sold about 15,000 copies.
Koupal, along with the other contributors to Pioneer Girl Perspectives, recently participated in the South Dakota Historical Society's 2017 history conference on Wilder's life and legacy, a topic about which people can't seem to get enough. "We wanted more perspective moving forward with a textual study of the Pioneer Girl," she says. "Why is she so popular? She wasn't even a supporter of women's suffrage and women's rights," Koupal says. The first essay in the collection draws from Wilder's words herself and should be of special interest to booksellers: it is titled "The Speech for the Detroit Book Fair, 1937," which took place at a department store in the Motor City. It is one of the rare occasions in which Wilder spoke publicly about her life and her books, including some reflections upon the world beyond the prairie and that little house upon the prairie.
The essays examine Wilder from various angles and boast such intriguing titles as "The Strange Case of the Bloody Benders: Laura Ingalls Wilder, Rose Wilder Lane, and Yellow Journalism" by Caroline Fraser and "Little Myths on the Prairie" by Michael Patrick Hearn.
As an added treat for Wilder fans, the longtime attorney for the Little House Heritage Trust, Noel Silverman, for the first time dishes on Wilder with Koupal in "Her Stories Take You with Her: The Lasting Appeal of the Little House Books." He attributes Wilder's popularity to her stories' emphasis on interdependence over independence. "This narrative says that I can build a better house, faster, if Mr. Edwards will help me, in return for which I will gladly help him build his house," Silverman says.
Today, 1–2 p.m. Nancy Tystad Koupal will be signing ARCs of Pioneer Girl Perspectives in the Autographing Area, at Table 9.

Q: Populating Resource.resx file from database I'm trying to populate my resource file at startup from my database. Everytime a page loads it should check for the active language. I'm currently stuck at the problem of how to insert in a resource file. I tried the obvious way but it didn't work.
 ResourceFile = TempTransMessage;

Any idea how to do this?

A: You can generate resx files from data stored in a database using Microsoft's Text Template Transformation Toolkit (usually referred to as "T4"). Scott Hanselman has published a blog post on the subject which will give you a good idea of how this works.
An example of a .tt file that would do just that:
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="C#" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Core" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Data" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Configuration" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Web" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Text" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Collections.Generic" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Data" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Web.Configuration" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Web" #>
<#@ output extension=".resx" #>
<#
    SqlConnection _Connection;
    SqlCommand _Command;

    _Connection = new SqlConnection();

    /// Open the connection to the database
    _Connection.ConnectionString = "Initial Catalog=YourCatalog;Integrated Security=true;Data Source=YourDatasource";

    // Open the connection
    _Connection.Open();

    _Command = _Connection.CreateCommand();
    _Command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
    _Command.CommandText = "select Id,Value from MyTable";

    SqlDataReader reader = _Command.ExecuteReader();

#>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
  <!--
    Microsoft ResX Schema

    Version 2.0

    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format
    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the
    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes
    associated with the data types.

    Example:

    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
    </data>
    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
    </data>

    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple
    name/value pairs.

    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a
    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support
    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture.
    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the
    mimetype set.

    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the
    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not
    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:

    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format
    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can
    read any of the formats listed below.

    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
    value   : The object must be serialized with
            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
    value   : The object must be serialized with
            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array
            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

A: Unless you need to redistribute those resource files (in which case Diego's answer is a very good option), you may also want to check out how to retrieve your resources directly from the DB. Resource management uses providers, you can have a custom provider check out databases directly.
In fact, Rick Strahl's globalization package does that already if that's what you need

Infernal Manes – Infernal Manes
by Aaron Lynn on January 13, 2015
Some things don't age well, like mayflies or disco. Certain voices in the mainstream rock media have applied the same criticism to traditional heavy metal, claiming that its days have come and gone. Fortunately, they are incorrect as is evident by bands like Infernal Manes who continue to stoke that old flame without being solely a repetition of the older days in celebration of glories departed. But this band has its own very modern take on the ancient art of heavy metal.
Infernal Manes comes to us from the cold coasts of Norway with their self-titled debut LP. These traditional Norsemen have composed an energetic album of melodic heavy metal that tips its hat to Iron Maiden and Mercyful Fate. Songs follow the standard verse-chorus format, but this imaginative album delivers not only heavy metal ancestral nostalgia but highly effective songwriting that knits together compelling riffs into an effective, cohesive format that provides the listeners with a spirited voyage into the days of yore. This band would stand on its own in any age but as we live in the present, it chooses to comment on the long and interesting history of heavy metal.
The only downside to this album is that it occasionally suffers from "Crazy Train Syndrome" — named for an Ozzy Osbourne composition in which an enigmatic chorus riff was paired with a joyous, almost witless bouncy hard rock riff in the verses — in which a few randomly emotionally jarring riffs disrupt the otherwise concise flow of the songs. For the most part however songs fit together well like the fine craftsmanship of a traditional artisan. Infernal Manes deliver exactly what you would expect from an old school heavy metal band, but with a bit more precision and efficiency. Complete with heroic and anthemic passion, Infernal Manes ensures that the old flame remains lit.

Exapunks is a programming game developed by Zachtronics. It was released into early access on August 9, 2018, and fully released on October 22, 2018. It takes place in an alternate timeline in the year 1997. The fictional world of Exapunks is heavily computerized, and a disease called Phage is ravaging the population, turning the bodies of those affected into computerized components. The player takes on the role of Moss, a hacker who breaks into computer systems in order to afford a $700/day drug to slow the progress of his Phage affliction. His hacking missions are given to him by a mysterious artificial intelligence known as EMBER-2.
Each mission takes place inside a network of interconnected and specialized computer systems. Using programmable software agents called EXAs, the player must accomplish each given task by writing computer code to cleverly manipulate the data stored on the network's systems. The EXAs' instruction set features a few simple opcodes for movement, data processing, network messaging, and interfacing with files and registers. Due to their limited memory capacity, these tasks often require several agents working together in a highly coordinated fashion. EXA units also have the ability to replicate themselves inside the network. Typical missions include retrieving data from secured storage systems, hacking into company databases, and causing an automated teller machine to dispense free cash. Some puzzles also require the player to hack Moss's body to maintain his health. Some puzzles challenge the player to hacker battles, where they must pit their EXAs against an opponent's agents, for example altering a television station's program to broadcast Moss' content instead.

Rangers All the Way!
By Chris Semancik, Army Heritage MuseumSeptember 16, 2008
International strategic threats can materialize at any moment. The eruption of the Korean War in June of 1950 posed such a threat. Responding to initial successes of enemy infiltration tactics that summer, Army Chief of Staff General J. Lawton Collins authorized the establishment of four companies of Airborne Rangers and selected Colonel John Gibson Van Houten to establish an Airborne Ranger Training Program at Fort Benning, Georgia. Although the U.S. Army had raised seven battalions of Rangers during World War II, along with the 1st Special Service Force and several Aca,!A"MarauderAca,!A? and OSS detachments, these highly trained specialized groups were disbanded after the cessation of hostilities.The Ranger training program that was envisioned by Colonel Van Houten would combine the best of the lessons learned of training, doctrine and equipment from the various elite forces that had existed in World War II. Van Houten and a small staff worked quickly to assemble the finest experienced men still in service who had seen action in former elite forces, including several hand-picked individuals who had served in either allied or former adversary commando type organizations and who were now serving as United States citizens in the U.S. Army. This select cadre of career Army officers and NCOs turned a disused, secluded portion of the barracks at Fort Benning, Georgia, into an advanced training camp in just five days. Working around the clock, from September 15 to September 20, when the first Ranger volunteers arrived, the Ranger Training Command created a tough, realistic training environment which included extreme physical training, live-fire exercises, and advanced field problems executed in all weather and terrain conditions day or night.Along with amphibious training, the new organization would be airborne qualified. Colonel Van Houten made airborne status mandatory for each Ranger and did not exempt himself or the training cadre. Advanced infiltration techniques formed the core of the Benning program, including intelligence gathering, foreign weapons mastery, strongpoint demolition, escape and evade procedures, foreign map reading, and language skills. Learning such techniques made the units capable of the most extreme operations behind enemy lines. The 1st Ranger Company, numbering 112 men, entered into combat in Korea on December 17, 1950, as an attached element of the 2nd Infantry Division and quickly proved itself by destroying the headquarters of 12th North Korean Division nine miles behind enemy lines. More units from Fort Benning rapidly followed and engaged in a variety of special missions and daring actions, including a combat jump into Munsan-Ni by the 2nd and 4th Ranger Companies, followed by an amphibious assault on the Hwachon Dam by elements of the 4th, and a legendary Aca,!A"no- manAca,!a,,cs-landAca,!A? battle which pitted 33 men of the 8th Ranger Company against two Chinese reconnaissance units in front of the U.S. 24th Infantry Division.Despite such impressive service, the U.S. Army inactivated the six Ranger companies in Korea in August, 1951. The following month, the Army inactivated the remaining nine Ranger companies and disbanded the Ranger Training Command. Thereafter Ranger training would be provided through a Ranger Department of the Infantry School at Fort Benning. The trainees, however, would no longer serve in distinct Ranger companies but would return to their parent organizations.The War in Vietnam would once again see the use of Ranger companies, but it was not until 1974 that the U.S. Army authorized its first permanent peace-time Ranger unit by General Order 127, creating the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 75th U.S. Infantry. Rangers of the 75th have subsequently been called upon to rapidly deploy in various operations around the world right up to the present day.As a point of interest and Ranger pride, photographic evidence documents the Rangers training at Ft. Benning in 1950 wearing patrol caps with the brims removed, anticipating the Ranger beret, which has become an internationally recognized symbol of these elite forces. The Korean Airborne Rangers were truly Rangers -- Rangers all the way!

Beautiful packaging and product combined, this Barbera d 'Asti Superiore features a hand-drawn label by grappa producer and artist Romano Levi, designed exclusively for the family in 2000. This caught our eye even before we had tried the stunning wines. The Barbera is produced in the heart of the Asti area and aged in stainless steel for 6 months and then small and large oak barrels for 12 months, retaining the purity of fruit with an underlying richness.
Buy this if...you're looking for a superior red for around £12.
Balanced and ripe with an unmistakeable Italian swagger and style. Our new staff favourite.
"The 'Superiore' designation is reserved for wines made from grapes with a higher potential alcohol, and therefore ripeness, and there's no shortage of that in this 14.5% ABV. The oak influence is subtle, the colour is saturated, deep with a hint of blood red to ruby, and the nose vinous, crammed with cherries and hints of game and truffle, cedar and tobacco. In the mouth the plush sweetness of the fruit is the immediate attraction, but then the savoury, spicy and meaty character comes through too, smoky tobacco notes and typical plum and cherry skin tartness to freshen. Intense and really well done"
Tomato-based sauces match well with light to medium-bodied reds with high acidity which square up to the acidity in the tomatoes and make both food and wine taste fruitier. Try a classic Italian red like our Fratelli Ponte Barbera d'Asti Superiore.
Potato or pasta? May you never have to make that decision again thanks to the Italians! Gnocchi is the perfect middle man, especially this tomato delight paired with a Barbera d'Asti from northern Italy.
A simple delight. Creamy, delicious and satisfying. Head to earthy, full bodied red wines to pair with this, think the rest of the Barbera d'Asti bottle.

First let me say that I know you have to play the games. Speculation is worth zip—unless you're good enough to sell your picks online. My point is that nobody knows better than a Saints fan that anybody can win or lose on any given Sunday!
Now, that being said, you Buc fans are going to have to explain why you're feeling so superior to the Saints. What measuring stick are you using? Last year...well, that was last year, if that counts, let's count the year before, and then you'd have to shut up.
Here are a few facts and figures from NOW. They are only a compilation of various professionals' opinions, but they are unbiased and informed, so let's see what we got.
Now, as most of us know, FF projects values for each team down to each player for the season. It's not written in stone, but it ends up being pretty darn accurate each year, barring injury or arrest.
Gee, it looks like Fox's experts and computers say we're 208.39 points better...no reason for feeling superior here TB!
Dammm, you guys have lost stock and are beneath us...again.
OK, now lets look at the real world.
Now, I know...we have to play the games, but the purpose of this blog is...WHERE DO THE BUCANEERS GET THE IDEA THAT THEY ARE THE BETTER TEAM...NO ONE ELSE THINKS SO!
The Buc's do have an easier schedule, playing only four playoff teams this year, while the Saints are playing five playoff teams...I don't care...every intelligent analyst says the Saints are the better team!
Now, they said that last year, too, and I will admit, the proof is in the pudding. The first game of the season is gonna set the tone, although it doesn't really matter until we see the final record and who moves on deepest in the playoff's.
That's all I really care about...anyway, I like our chances to be playing football this postseason, while the Buc's are trying to surf on those little waves off of Treasure Island.
GGM ready for action, sir! Stay Frosty, boyze, the Saints are coming to a theatre near you!

Mohali firm aims for the sky, to raise 10 storeys in 48 hours
CHANDIGARH: A time-lapse YouTube video of a 15-storey hotel building being constructed in 48 hours was watched by more than 5.7 million people worldwide earlier this year. Mohali can now see this in real time.
In a few days from now, the city will become India's first to witness the construction of a 10-storey "insta-building" or "pre-fab skyscraper" in 48 hours.
A Rs 1,000-crore group based in Mohali, Synergy has tied up with UK-based Thrislington Products Company Ltd for the venture and the model has been approved by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)-Structural Engineering Research Centre (CSIR-SERC), Chennai.
The building has been cleared for the Zone V siesmic area, the highest.
CSIR-SERC Director Dr Nagesh R Iyer led the team that worked on the project for four months to ensure that the steel frame structure was strong enough. "It was the first ever test in India of this magnitude carried out successfully on a shake table for a steel frame structure," Iyer said…..

Test proves under-construction Kalpakkam n-reactor will shut down in event of a quake
CHENNAI: Will the nuclear reactor being built in Kalpakkam shut down in the event of a severe earthquake? A test at the Structural Engineering Research Centre (SERC) in Taramani on Saturday proved it would – in a matter of seconds. It also proved that the type of crisis in the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan after the recent earthquake and tsunami could be avoided in Tamil Nadu.
The SERC and the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) in Kalpakkam jointly conducted the test to see if the 500 MW Prototype Faster Breeder Reactor (PFBR) being built would stop generation. "In case of a snag in the facility or an earthquake, the nuclear power generation has to shut down. Otherwise, a major catastrophe will result. The production is stopped using shutdown systems having rods made of 'boron' (a metalloid element)," said IGCAR director S C Chetal. As per the safety culture in the Department of Atomic Energy, the safety of existing nuclear plants and those under construction is to be reviewed periodically…..

Early Breast Cancer Detection Test for African-American Women
What is a triple-negative strain of breast cancer?
Triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive form of cancer that uses glucose for fuel. Typically, the consumption of glucose doesn't occur until the latter stages of breast cancer. It's called the Warburg effect. However, in young African-American women, it appears the Warburg effect starts earlier and may begin in the first stages of cancer. If this is the case, testing for the Warburg effect could reveal breast cancer earlier in high-risk, young, African-American women. Young African-American women are more likely to develop triple-negative strains of breast cancer. These strains have a high mortality rate with most patients living less than five years.
What has research shown us?
About 80 African-American women participated in a study. These women were placed in two groups, both having a family history of aggressive breast cancer. When researchers tested for the Warburg effect, they found precancerous cells actively utilizing glucose for fuel. Not only is this a sign of potential breast cancer, but it is also a warning signal for lifestyle changes.
If the women in this study and others like them were to develop gestational diabetes, precancerous cells would have access to more glucose and could grow even faster. Women in the high-risk category should exercise, eat right and have blood glucose levels checked regularly, but it is also important for all women to follow the exercise and healthy eating rule to reduce the risk of certain forms of breast cancer.
In some cases, high-risk women with gestational diabetes can be treated with metformin, a diabetes drug, to reduce blood glucose levels. Few women understand the risks of triple-negative breast cancer and glucose levels, so community education is extremely important.

The start of the week can always be interesting in my house! My kids usually are in recovery mode on Mondays so they sometimes can be a bit tired or clingy if we have had a busy weekend. When I menu plan, I include a "fun" meals to reduce any stress for me and the rest of the family when it comes to food. Wraps are an excellent meal idea for a crazy busy week. You can fill it up with all good stuff. I make mine a DIY Wrap meal cause it's a lot more fun when everyone gets to make their own wrap. My 20 month old loves looking at all the bowls of veggies and points at the ones he wants and shouts back with a big NO! for the veggies he hates.
Wraps can be brought from most supermarkets around the world. Tortilla wraps, Pita bread, Chapathi, Parata, Roti taste delicious when filled with good portions of meat and veggies.
If your kids are old enough, they can chop up all the veggies and put them in bowls. Come dinner time, put them all out and let them put their wraps together! Great for dinner and lunch.
Easy and stress free meal idea!

Die Lokomotiven der sowjetischen Baureihe ПЭУ1 (deutsche Transkription PEU1) sind schmalspurige Elektrolokomotiven.

Gegen Ende der 1960er Jahre entstand in der Sowjetunion Bedarf an neuen Elektrolokomotiven für die Spurweite 750 mm, da bei der Bahn des Blei-Zink-Kombinats in Tekeli in der Kasachischen SSR Ersatz für vorhandene Elektrolokomotiven der Baureihe II-КП2А (II-KP2A) benötigt wurde.

Die Konstruktion der Lokomotiven wurde von der Elektrolokomotivfabrik Dnepropetrowsk in Dnepropetrowsk (Ukrainische SSR) übernommen und 1969 abgeschlossen. Die Bezeichnung der Lokomotiven war "ПЭУ1" (PEU1; wobei die Buchstaben für "Promyschlenny Elektrowos Uskokolejny" (schmalspurige Industrie-Elektrolokomotive) stehen). Entsprechend dem Charakter der vorgesehenen Einsatzstrecke als Gebirgsbahn mit Güterverkehr wurden die ПЭУ1 für hohe Zugkraft und geringe Geschwindigkeit konstruiert. In Anpassung an das zentralasiatische Klima wurden die ПЭУ1 für einen weiten Temperaturbereich (-50 bis +40 °C) ausgelegt. Weiterhin wurde auf starke Schwankungen der Spannung (nominell 550 V) Rücksicht genommen, die ПЭУ1 können bei 400 bis 700 V betrieben werden. Die ПЭУ1 haben eine geschweißten Stahlrahmen und -aufbau.

Die ersten acht ПЭУ1 mit den Nummern ПЭУ1-001 bis -008 wurden 1970 bis 1971 nach Tekeli geliefert. Sie erhielten automatische Kupplungen. Während des Baus der ersten Serie wurde die Bauart des Stromabnehmers geändert, die ursprünglich verwendeten zwei Einholmbügel wurden durch einen Halbscherenstromabnehmer ersetzt.

Anfang der 1970er Jahre wurde auch die Elektrifizierung der dem Kohletransport dienenden Strecke von Proletar (Tadschikische SSR) nach Sülüktü (Kirgisische SSR) geplant. Für den ersten elektrifizierten Abschnitt um Sülüktü wurden 1972 und 1973 die ПЭУ1-009 bis -012 gebaut. Erst 1977 wurde die Elektrifizierung bis nach Proletar fertiggestellt. Der Abschnitt hinter Sülüktü nach Wostotschnyi wurde aufgrund instabilen Untergrunds nicht elektrifiziert. Für den nunmehr möglichen durchgehenden elektrisch Betrieb wurden 1978 die ПЭУ1-013 bis -021 und 1979 ПЭУ1-022 bis -024 geliefert. 1983 wurde noch ПЭУ1-025 für Tekeli gebaut, 1984 ПЭУ1-026 für Tekeli und ПЭУ1-027 für Proletar–Sülüktü. Insgesamt wurden somit 27 ПЭУ1 gebaut, davon 10 für Tekeli und 17 für Proletar–Sülüktü. Die Lokomotiven für die Strecke Proletar–Sülüktü erhielten keine automatische Kupplungen.

Ab 1990 wurden drei Doppellokomotiven der Nachfolgebaureihe ПЭУ2 (PEU2) nach Proletar geliefert, diese bewährten sich im Einsatz jedoch nicht.

In Tekeli wurden die ПЭУ1 in Doppeltraktion eingesetzt. Mit der Verkürzung der Strecke auf einen kurzen stadtnahen Abschnitt 2004 verringerte sich jedoch der Bedarf erheblich, Ende 2010 wurde der Betrieb ganz eingestellt.

Auf der Strecke Proletar–Sülüktü wurden die ПЭУ1 auch für den Personenverkehr bis zu dessen Einstellung 2006 eingesetzt. Mit der Einstellung des Kohlenverkehrs und der Stilllegung des Abschnitts Kolzo–Sülüktü 2008 verblieb nur noch geringer Sandtransport zwischen Kolzo und Proletar. Dieser wurde auch 2011 noch von ПЭУ1 durchgeführt, wofür nur noch ein kleiner Teil der ehemals vorhandenen Lokomotiven betriebsfähig ist.
